Background technology
At 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project, third generation partner program) Rel-8TDD (Time Division Duplexing, time division duplex) in the system, support ACK (AcknowledgeCharacter, positive acknowledgement)/transmission of NAK (Negative Acknowledgment, Negative Acknowledgement) bundling (binding).
UE (User Equipment, subscriber equipment) receives the control information that the base station sends by PDCCH (Physical DL Control Channel, physical control channel).A PDCCH can carry a control information.Control information comprises down dispatch information (DL Grant), uplink scheduling information (UL Grant), and other control information.
Subscriber equipment need be at up feeding back ACK/NAK after receiving some PDCCH, and this PDCCH includes, but are not limited to DL Grant.The information of the downlink data transmission that DL Grant indication user is scheduled on PDSCH (PhysicalDownlink Shared Channel, Physical Downlink Shared Channel) comprises downlink data resource allocation, downlink data modulation coding information etc.After subscriber equipment receives DLGrant, mutually deserved PDSCH is carried out demodulation.If it is correct to receive PDSCH, the user need be at up feeding back ACK, otherwise feedback NAK.If subscriber equipment is not received the PDCCH that needs feeding back ACK/NAK, subscriber equipment is at up feedback DTX, and just subscriber equipment does not send any ACK/NAK.In the present invention, do not distinguish PDCCH, the control information of on described PDCCH, transmitting, and the PDSCH of described PDCCH control information correspondence.
For the TDD system, there be the sub-frame allocation structure of descending sub frame more than sub-frame of uplink.Therefore, sub-frame of uplink need transmit a plurality of descending in the ACK/NAK of PDCCH correspondences.If UE is operated under the single-stream transmission pattern, then each descending sub frame has a TB (Transport Block, transmission block) at most, i.e. the corresponding ACK/NAK bit of each descending sub frame.If UE is operated under the multi-streaming transmission mode, then each descending sub frame has two TB at most, i.e. corresponding two the ACK/NAK bits of each descending sub frame.Therefore, under multi-streaming transmission mode, a UE needs to feed back 2N ACK/NAK bit in sub-frame of uplink, and wherein N is in the number of the descending sub frame of a sub-frame of uplink correspondence.The descending sub frame of a sub-frame of uplink correspondence is determined by HARQ sequential (timing) herein.
For the limited UE of ascending power, can adopt the mode of ACK/NAK bundling, the ACK/NAK quantity of actual feedback is adjusted to 1 ACK/NAK bit (single-stream mode) or 2 ACK/NAK bits (multithread pattern).With Rel-8TDD ACK/NAK bundling shown in Figure 1 is example, and the ACK/NAK of the PDSCH correspondence in 4 descending sub frames need transmit in same sub-frame of uplink.Concrete, the working method of ACK/NAK bundling is for carrying out the logical AND operation for the corresponding ACK/NAK of each code word (codeword) of different descending sub frames, each code word is obtained the ACK/NAK feedback bits of a reality, be called Bundled ACK/NAK bit.The BundledACK/NAK bit need transmit in the sub-frame of uplink of correspondence.This sub-frame of uplink is that each corresponding descending sub frame is reserved the ACK/NAK resource, and the ACK/NAK resource corresponding UE of transmission Bundled ACK/NAK detects last descending sub frame of the PDCCH that needs the ACK/NAK feedback.
In the Rel-8 system, the transformat of ACK/NAK bundling is PUCCH (PhysicalUplink Control Channel, Physical Uplink Control Channel) format (form) 1a/1b, as shown in Figure 2.At 3GPP LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) normal (normally) CP (Cyclic Prefix, Cyclic Prefix) in, a slot (time slot) comprises 7 SC-FDMA (SingleCarrier Frequency Division Multiple Access, single-carrier frequency division multiple access) symbo1 (symbol), wherein, [S0, S1 ..., S6] 7 SC-FDMA symbol among slot of expression; D represents the ACK/NAK information of required transmission.If 1 ACK/NAK bit, then d is a constellation point of BPSK (BinaryPhase Shift Keying, two-phase PSK); If 2 ACK/NAK bits, then d is a constellation point of QPSK (Quaternary Phase Shift Keying, quarternary phase-shift keying (QPSK)).
In addition, OFDM symbol[S0, S1, S5, S6] be used for transferring ACK/NAK data d, Wd=[Wd (0) Wd (1) Wd (2) Wd (3)] be the ACK/NAK data division spreading code (orthogonal cover, OC).In the LTE system, Wd can value is OCd0=[1111], OCd1=[1-11-1]; Perhaps, OCd2=[1-1-11].R is a pilot signal, and r=1.OFDMsymbol[S2, S3, S4] be used to transmit pilot tone r.Wr=[Wr (0) Wr (1) Wr (2)] be pilot portion spreading code (orthogonal cover, OC).In LTE, Wr can value OCr0=[111]; OCrl=[1 e
J2 π/3e
J4 π/3]; Perhaps, OCr2=[1 e
J4 π/3e
J2 π/3].A subframe is made up of two slot.Two slot that are transmitted in a subframe of ACK/NAK go up and repeat, as shown in Figure 2.
In 3GPP LTE-A (LTE-Advanced, LTE evolution), a plurality of descending carriers can condense together and be UE transmission data.For the limited UE of ascending power, need the ACK/NAK bundling scheme under the corresponding carrier aggregation scene of design.
But in realizing process of the present invention, the inventor finds to exist at least in the prior art following problem:
The transmission means that does not have ACK/NAK bundling under the clear and definite carrier aggregation scene at present in the prior art.
Embodiment
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing among the present invention, the technical scheme among the present invention is clearly and completely described, obviously, described embodiment only is a part of embodiment of the present invention, rather than whole embodiment.Based on the embodiment among the present invention, those of ordinary skills belong to the scope of protection of the invention not making the every other embodiment that is obtained under the creative work prerequisite.
In the LTE-A system, can a plurality of carrier waves of polymerization be UE transmission data jointly, and all corresponding ACK/NAK feedback of the transmission block TB on each carrier wave, and UE be after receiving a plurality of TB on a plurality of carrier waves, need be at a plurality of ACK/NAK bits of uplink.For the limited UE of ascending power, can adopt the mode of ACK/NAK bundling, reduce the actual ACK/NAK number of bits of feedback of UE.In the embodiment of the invention, realize the transmission course of ACK/NAK bundling under the TDD carrier aggregation scene.
The embodiment of the invention one provides the transmission method of ACK/NAK under a kind of carrier aggregation system, as shown in Figure 3, may further comprise the steps:
Step 301, subscriber equipment receive the control signaling by physical control channel PDCCH at least one subframe of main carrier PCC and at least one auxilliary carrier wave SCC.Wherein, the ACK/NAK of the PDCCH correspondence that needs the ACK/NAK feedback of described at least one subframe feeds back in same sub-frame of uplink.

Subscriber equipment is when producing bundled ACK/NAK, and need judge whether in described at least one subframe omission needs the PDCCH of ACK/NAK feedback.Subscriber equipment judges whether to lose the PDCCH that needs the ACK/NAK feedback by DAI (Downlink Assignment Indicator, descending distribution indication) the indicated value in territory of PDCCH.
Particularly, if subscriber equipment receives that the value of the DAI indication that two continuous subframes of the PDCCH that needs the ACK/NAK feedback are interior is discontinuous, subscriber equipment is judged at least one PDCCH that needs ACK/NAK to feed back of omission so.At this moment, subscriber equipment can feed back DTX at PUCCH, perhaps feeds back NAK on PUSCH.
As seen, the method that the application of the invention provides, under carrier aggregation scene, generate bundled ACK/NAK information according to the carrier classes that receives PDCCH, and in sub-frame of uplink, feed back bundled ACK/NAK information, thereby provide the transmission means of ACK/NAK bundling under the carrier aggregation scene.
The embodiment of the invention two provides the transmission method of ACK/NAK under a kind of carrier aggregation system, as shown in Figure 4, may further comprise the steps:
Step 401, network equipment sends control signaling to subscriber equipment by physical control channel PDCCH at least one subframe of main carrier PCC and at least one auxilliary carrier wave SCC.Wherein, the ACK/NAK of the PDCCH correspondence that needs the ACK/NAK feedback of described at least one subframe feeds back in same sub-frame of uplink.
Step 402, described network equipment sends the PDCCH that needs the ACK/NAK feedback at least on described PCC in each transmission needs the subframe of PDCCH of ACK/NAK feedback.
Step 403, described network equipment receive the bundled ACK/NAK information that described subscriber equipment feeds back in described sub-frame of uplink.
As seen, the method that the application of the invention provides, under carrier aggregation scene, generate bundled ACK/NAK information according to the carrier classes that receives PDCCH, and in sub-frame of uplink, feed back bundled ACK/NAK information, thereby provide the transmission means of ACK/NAK bundling under the carrier aggregation scene.
For the technical scheme that illustrates that more clearly the embodiment of the invention provides; the transmission method of ACK/NAK is discussed in detail under the carrier aggregation system that the embodiment of the invention is provided below in conjunction with a kind of concrete application scenarios; in embodiments of the present invention; network equipment includes but not limited to E-UTRAN; RNC (Radio Network Controller; radio network controller); NB (Node B; Node B); eNB; Relay; base station etc.; need to prove; this network equipment is not limited to the said equipment, and all are positioned at the equipment of network side all within protection range of the present invention.
Should be with under the scene, be transmission method at ACK/NAK bundling under the carrier aggregation system, should be with scene carrier aggregation system as shown in Figure 5, this carrier aggregation system comprises 5 carrier waves, be respectively CC (Component Carrier, member carrier) 1, CC2, CC3, CC4 and CC5, the ACK/NAK resource reservation of each carrier wave is identical with 3GPP Rel-8, and promptly the sub-frame of uplink on carrier wave need be that one or more corresponding on this carrier wave descending sub frame is reserved the ACK/NAK resource.
Need to prove, be operated in the UE under the carrier aggregation system, necessarily have and have only a PCC (primary CC, main carrier), and for the TDD system, downlink main carrier to carry and up main carrier are same carrier wave.Under carrier aggregation system, remove main carrier, other carrier wave can be called SCC (secondary CC, auxilliary carrier wave).In addition, a UE who is operated under the carrier aggregation system, if the ascending power of this UE is limited, then the uplink ACK of this UE/NAK transmission can adopt the ACK/NAKbundling mode to transmit.
Based on above-mentioned situation, the embodiment of the invention three provides the transmission method of ACK/NAK under a kind of carrier aggregation system, as shown in Figure 6, may further comprise the steps:
Step 601, network equipment sends control signaling to UE by PDCCH at least one subframe of PCC and at least one SCC.Wherein, the ACK/NAK of the PDCCH correspondence that needs the ACK/NAK feedback of described at least one subframe need feed back in same sub-frame of uplink.
In addition, network equipment also need send the PDCCH that needs the ACK/NAK feedback at least on PCC in each transmission needs the subframe of PDCCH of ACK/NAK feedback.
Step 602, UE receives this control signaling by PDCCH at least one subframe of PCC and at least one SCC.
Step 603, UE generates bundled ACK/NAK information according to the carrier classes that receives PDCCH.
Step 604, the bundledACK/NAK information of this generation of feedback in the UE sub-frame of uplink.
Concrete, when receiving this control signaling, this UE needs and will carry out the logical AND operation, generation bundledACK/NAK feedback bits corresponding to the ACK/NAK bit of a code word in different carrier and the different descending sub frames.If UE is operated under the single-stream transmission pattern, then UE produces a bundled ACK/NAK feedback bits, if UE is operated under multithread (for example, two code words) transmission mode, then UE produces two bundled ACK/NAK feedback bits.Wherein, 1 of this generation or 2 bundledACK/NAK feedback bits can transmit by using Rel-8PUCCH format 1a/1b.Further, for the UE that is operated under carrier aggregation and the ACK/NAK bundling pattern,, then can only use the PUCCH resource on the UL PCC to transmit if use PUCCH to send bundled ACK/NAK feedback bits.
For a UE who is operated under carrier aggregation and the ACK/NAK bundling pattern, if UE feeds back bundled AKC/NAK bit on PUCCH, then UE need use PUCCH format 1a/1b transmission bundled ACK/NAK bit on up PCC.And on PCC, detect the pairing ACK/NAK resource of last subframe of the PDCCH that needs the ACK/NAK feedback in corresponding described at least one subframe of the resource of the PUCCH format1a/1b that uses.

For a UE who is operated under carrier aggregation and the ACK/NAK bundling pattern, if UE (promptly receives at least one subframe of the PDCCH that needs the ACK/NAK feedback) on any one descending sub frame in described at least one subframe and only detect the PDCCH/PDSCH that needs the ACK/NAK feedback on SCC, and UE detects PDCCH/PDSCH on the PCC of another descending sub frame, and then UE need be at the PUCCH of UL PCC feedback NAK.Wherein, UE detects the pairing ACK/NAK resource of last subframe of the PDCCH that needs the ACK/NAK feedback on PCC in corresponding described at least one subframe of the PUCCH ACK/NAK resource that UL PCC uses.
For a UE who is operated under carrier aggregation and the ACK/NAK bundling pattern, if UE (promptly receives at least one subframe of the PDCCH that needs the ACK/NAK feedback) on any one descending sub frame in described at least one subframe and only detect the PDCCH/PDSCH that needs the ACK/NAK feedback on SCC, UE bundled ACK/NAK bit is set to NAK; The PUSCH transmission if UE is scheduled, then UE transmits bundled ACK/NAK bit on PUSCH.
For a UE who is operated under carrier aggregation and the ACK/NAK bundling pattern, if UE (being that each receives in the subframe of the PDCCH that needs the ACK/NAK feedback) in described at least one subframe on any one descending sub frame detects PDCCH/PDSCH on PCC, UE will generate corresponding ACK/NAK information bit to each detected PDCCH of ACK/NAK feedback that needs, and, obtain bundled ACK/NAK information by described ACK/NAK information bit being carried out the logical AND operation; And the PUCCH transmitted over resources bundled ACK/NAK information in the sub-frame of uplink of PCC; On PCC, detect the pairing ACK/NAK resource of last subframe of the PDCCH that needs the ACK/NAK feedback in corresponding described at least one subframe of this PUCCH resource.
Above-described UE only is embodiment according to the behavior that the carrier classes that detects PDCCH produces bundled ACK/NAK bit.Do not get rid of other concrete UE produce bundled ACK/NAK bit according to the carrier classes that detects PDCCH behavior.
As seen, the method that the application of the invention provides, under carrier aggregation scene, generate bundled ACK/NAK information according to the carrier classes that receives PDCCH, and in sub-frame of uplink, feed back bundled ACK/NAK information, thereby provide the transmission means of ACK/NAK bundling under the carrier aggregation scene.
