Background technology
At Long Term Evolution (long term evolution, LTE) in system, Physical Downlink Control Channel (physical downlink control channel, PDCCH) send in each wireless sub-frame, and with Physical Downlink Shared Channel (physical downlink shared channel, PDSCH) form time division multiplexing (time division multiplexing, TDM) multiplexing relation, as shown in Figure 1, control area is used for transmission PDCCH, and data area is used for transmission PDSCH.PDCCH is by top n OFDM (the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing of a descending sub frame, OFDM) symbol sends, wherein the value of N can be 1,2,3 or 4, and N=4 only allows to appear in the system that system bandwidth is 1.4MHz.
In the LTE system, the control area of transmission PDCCH is control channel unit (the control channel element by logical partitioning, CCE) form, wherein CCE is to RE(resource element, the least resource unit) mapping adopted the mode that interweaves fully.Downlink Control Information (downlink control information, DCI) it is unit that transmission also is based on CCE, for a subscriber equipment (user equipment, UE) a DCI can send in N continuous CCE, the possible value of N is 1,2,4 or 8 in the LTE system, is called CCE polymerization grade (Aggregation Level).
UE carries out the PDCCH blind check in control area, whether search exists the PDCCH for its transmission, wherein, blind check is specially: wireless network temporary indentification (the radio network temporary identifier that uses this UE, RNTI) to the trial of decoding of different DCI forms and CCE polymerization grade,, if decoding is correct, determines it is DCI for this UE, and receive.In the LTE system, UE each descending sub frame in discontinuous reception (discontinuous reception, DRX) state needs blind check is carried out in its control area, search PDCCH.
Due to multi-user's multiple-input and multiple-output (multi-user multiple input multiple output, MU-MIMO), coordinate multipoint (cooperative multiple points, CoMP), technology and the same cell identifier (identification such as carrier aggregation, ID) radio remote termination (remote radio head, RRH), the introducing of the configuration such as 8 antennas, at long-term evolution upgrading (long term evolution-advanced, LTE-A) in system, capacity and the efficiency of transmission of Physical Downlink Shared Channel are greatly improved; And with early stage LTE version (as version 8-9(release8-9, Rel-8/9)) compare, the performance of the Physical Downlink Control Channel of LTE-A system does not but get a promotion.
On the one hand, in the LTE-A system, the application of above-mentioned new technology makes the PDSCH can be simultaneously for more users provide transfer of data, and this will improve the demand to the PDCCH channel capacity greatly; On the other hand, the user-specific reference signal of applying in PDSCH (user-specific reference signal, UERS) relaying PDCCH(Relay-PDCCH, the R-PDCCH of application and in relay backhaul (Relay backhaul)) etc. new technology provide governed technology and experience for the enhancing of PDCCH.
Limited in order to solve the down control channel capacity, and the efficiency of transmission of raising Downlink Control Information, a solution is: send the PDCCH that strengthens in the PDSCH territory when keeping original PDCCH territory in descending sub frame.
as shown in Figure 2, original PDCCH still adopts in territory existing sending and receiving technology, use original PDCCH resource, taking top n OFDM symbol sends, wherein the possible value of N is 1, 2, 3, 4, and N=4 only allows to appear in the system that system bandwidth is 1.4MHz, this part PDCCH territory is called original PDCCH(legacy PDCCH) territory, as adopt while sending and send diversity, during reception based on cell-level reference signal (cell-specific reference signal, CRS) adopt the blind check technology, at public search space and user-specific search volume, DCI is carried out blind check.
More advanced sending and receiving technology can be used in the PDCCH territory that strengthens, as adopt precoding while sending, detect based on UERS during reception, taking legacy PDCCH territory running time-frequency resource in addition sends, use the part resource of original PDSCH, mode with PDSCH by frequency division realizes multiplexing, and this part PDCCH territory is called PDCCH(Enhanced PDCCH, the E-PDCCH of enhancing) territory.This Enhanced PDCCH and PDSCH realize that by the frequency division mode multiplexing scheme is called frequency division multiplexing (frequency division multiplexing, FDM) E-PDCCH.
And in FDM E-PDCCH scheme, every data in Enhanced PDCCH territory take at least 1 Physical Resource Block to (physical resource block pair, PRB pair, referred to as Resource Block to) resource.Take DCI as example, due to one side, the original bit number that each DCI the inside comprises is fewer, DCI form 1C(DCI format1C) be generally tens bits, larger DCI form also is no more than 60 bits as 2/2C, on the other hand, number of resources in each PRB pair is more, as shown in table 1, so while according to existing FDM E-PDCCH scheme, carrying out the DCI transmission, can cause frequency efficiency too low, thereby cause the waste of resource.
Each PRB pair of table 1 can be used for the RE number (regular circulation prefix (cyclic prefix, CP)) of E-PDCCH transmission

Embodiment
The embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of data transmission and reception method, Apparatus and system, by with Resource Block to being divided at least two sub-Resource Block pair, and take the child resource piece, the resource of carrying out the E-PDCCH territory as unit is distributed, according to data and the right size of child resource piece, each data, to transmission, and then improves the efficiency of transmission of data by one or more child resource pieces.
The embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of data transmission method, and as shown in Figure 3, the method comprises:
Step S301, take the child resource piece to as the minimum resource allocation unit, be each data allocations resource in the E-PDCCH territory, wherein, the child resource piece is to being specially: to after being divided into M part, every part of Resource Block is to being a sub-Resource Block pair, M 〉=2 with each Resource Block;
Step S302, the transmitted over resources data of distributing.
as shown in Figure 4, each PRB pair is divided into a plurality of child resource pieces to (subRB pair) according to frequency domain, divide timing carrying out resource, can use the resource allocation unit of subRB pair as minimum, like this when transmitting shorter data, do not need to expend whole PRB pair and realize the transmission of these data, only need a subRB pair can realize the transmission of these data, and for long data, also can use a plurality of subRB pair to realize transmission, because the resource allocation unit of minimum is less, so still reduced the resource that these data take, improved data transmission efficiency, in Fig. 4, oblique line is partly the original PDCCH Resource Unit of Legacy PDCCH RE(), meshing is UERS RE(user-specific reference signal resource unit).
For example, when these data are DCI,, because the bit number that comprises in DCI is less, when using subRBpair as the resource allocation unit of minimum, can realize transmitting DCI by less resource, and then improve the efficiency of transmission of DCI.
In embodiments of the present invention, take data as DCI, describe, DCI can be replaced with other categorical data when those skilled in the art apply and apply.
Like this, after the part subRB pair in a PRB pair distributed to the DCI of a receiving terminal, other subRB pair can also distribute to other user's DCI, perhaps distributed to PDSCH.
Equally, receiving terminal after receiving data, need to carry out take subRB pair as least resource unit blind check, thereby obtain corresponding DCI.
Certainly, transmitting terminal also can take the child resource piece to as the minimum resource allocation unit, after each data allocations resource in the E-PDCCH territory, the positional information of its corresponding E-PDCCH resource of notice receiving terminal, like this, receiving terminal can be determined according to the positional information that receives the resource location of its corresponding data, thereby does not carry out blind check or reduce the blind check number of times, thereby reduces the complexity that receiving terminal is processed.
For example, if transmitting terminal is after carrying out the resource distribution, directly the shared subRB pair sign of the data that each receiving terminal is corresponding sends to each receiving terminal, and each receiving terminal directly can be determined the resource location at the data place that it is corresponding according to subRB pair sign, need not to carry out blind check.If transmitting terminal is after carrying out the resource distribution, the shared PRB pair sign of the data that each receiving terminal is corresponding sends to each receiving terminal, each receiving terminal directly can be determined the PRB pair at the data place that it is corresponding according to PRB pair sign, carry out blind check in this PRB pair scope and get final product.
When PRB pair is divided, can divide according to the empirical value of size of data, also can divide according to Else Rule, for the ease of subRB pair is managed, can be according to frequency domain with each Resource Block on average being divided into M part.
Identical with the PDSCH territory, in the E-PDCCH territory, can pass through CSI-RS(channel state information reference signal, channel state information reference signals) or CRS carry out channel measurement, carry out demodulation based on UERS or CRS, if need to carry out demodulation based on UERS, in each subRB pair, include UERS RE, thereby be convenient to receiving terminal, according to UERS, carry out demodulation.
Generally, in conventional CP situation, each PRB pair comprises 12 UERS RE, and every 4 UERS RE are positioned on same frequency, determines that M=3 can guarantee in each subRB pair to include 4 UERS RE; In expansion CP situation, each PRB pair comprises 16 UERS RE, every 4 UERS RE are positioned on same frequency, determine that M=4 can guarantee in each subRB pair to include 4 UERS RE, determine that perhaps M=2 can guarantee in each subRB pair to include 8 UERSRE.
Conciliate timing when in the E-PDCCH territory, by CRS, carrying out channel measurement, owing to not needing to use UERS RE, so when PRB pair is divided, do not need to consider reference signal (referenc signal, RS) impact, as long as determine according to actual needs the size of subRB pair.
When carrying out precoding, can carry out take subRB pair as least unit precoding, namely the least unit of precoding granularity is subRB pair.Such as, be only that the DCI that transmits has distributed a subRB pair, in E-PDCCH the precoding granularity of the data that pass and UERS be a subRB pair; Distributed and surpassed a subRB pair by transmitting DCI, in E-PDCCH the precoding granularity of the data that pass and UERS can be a subRB pair, also can be a plurality of subRB pair, but be no more than at most the number of subRB pair distribution.
But, separating timing based on UERS, for making receiving terminal to carry out channel estimating by more UERS RE, in the E-PDCCH territory, the precoding granularity of data-signal can be different from the precoding granularity of described UERS, such as, in the E-PDCCH territory, the least unit of the precoding granularity of data-signal is child resource piece pair, the least unit of the precoding granularity of UERS RE is Resource Block pair, and the UERS between same resource block centering different user distinguishes in multi-user's multiple-input and multiple-output MU-MIMO mode.Such as, comprise 3 subPRB pair in a PRB pair, each subPRB pair distributes to a user's DCI transmission, in this PRB pair, the precoding granularity of the transmission of DCI is 1 subRB pair, the precoding granularity of UERS in PRB pair is 1 PRB pair,, if each user's UERS is overlapping on running time-frequency resource, adopt the mode of MU-MIMO to distinguish.
The embodiment of the present invention also provides a kind of data receive method, and as shown in Figure 5, the method comprises:
Step S501, determine the resource location of corresponding data, this resource comprises at least one child resource piece pair, and wherein, the child resource piece is to being specially: with each Resource Block to after being divided into M part according to frequency domain, every part of Resource Block is to being a sub-Resource Block pair, M 〉=2;
