Communication unit 61 is used for sending down dispatch information to user terminal, and the descending carrier number that is scheduled that indicating user terminal is provided with based on corresponding DAI merges the feedback response message to base station side.
Wherein, if system adopts the TDD technology, then communication unit 61 carries corresponding D AI respectively in the descending carrier that is scheduled in each wireless sub-frame when the down dispatch information of DAI is carried in the user terminal transmission.If system adopts the FDD technology, then communication unit 61 carries corresponding D AI respectively in each descending carrier that is scheduled when the down dispatch information of DAI is carried in the user terminal transmission.
Shown in Fig. 6 A; Comprise further in the base station that being used in the TDD system, being provided with first of mapping relations between DAI and the descending carrier scheduling number is provided with unit 62, and second of mapping relations between DAI and the descending carrier scheduling number are set in the FDD system unit 63 is set.First is provided with unit 62 and second is provided with the concrete set-up mode of carrying out unit 63 and will in the subsequent implementation example, describes in detail.
Consult shown in Fig. 6 B, user terminal comprises communication unit 600, processing unit 601 and feedback unit 602, wherein
Communication unit 600 is used to receive the down dispatch information that carries DAI that send base station shown in Fig. 6 A, and based on the said DAI descending carrier number of confirming to be scheduled;
Processing unit 601 is used for receiving data through each descending carrier that is scheduled, and judges whether lose descending carrier in the feedback window;
Feedback unit 602 is used for when confirming that according to judged result feedback window is lost descending carrier, not to the base station feedback response message; And when confirming not lose descending carrier in the feedback window according to judged result; Whether further judge in each descending carrier that is scheduled in the feedback window arbitrary code word generation decoding error according to the data decoding result; If; Then to the base station feedback nack message; Otherwise; According to the number of the correct descending carrier relevant information that receives in the feedback window, to the corresponding ACK information of base station feedback.
Wherein, the concrete mode of the various response messages of feedback unit 602 execution feedbacks will describe in detail in the subsequent implementation example.
Based on the said system framework, consult shown in Figure 7ly, during the present invention implemented, the detailed process of merging feedback indication of response message is carried out in the base station to user terminal (below be called UE) following:
Step 700: the down dispatch information of user terminal is confirmed in the base station, carries DAI in this down dispatch information.
Step 710: down dispatch information is sent to user terminal in the base station, and the descending carrier number that is scheduled that indicating user terminal is provided with based on corresponding DAI merges the feedback response message to base station side.
In the present embodiment, corresponding DAI is provided with when being scheduled the descending carrier number accordingly, is divided into following two kinds of situation:
Under first kind of situation; For the TDD system; The DAI of the 2bits in the down dispatch information of formulating among the Rel-8 of LTE system (DL grant) is reused in the base station; Dispatch several descending carriers altogether in the current descending sub frame of notice UE and carried out transfer of data; Being the base station sends when carrying the down dispatch information of DAI to UE, carries corresponding D AI respectively in the descending carrier that is scheduled in each wireless sub-frame.For example, consult shown in Figure 8ly, the base station has been dispatched descending carrier and has been carried out transfer of data on descending sub frame 1, descending sub frame 3, descending sub frame 4, dispatched 3 descending carriers in the descending sub frame 1 altogether, then the DAI=3 that carries in the descending sub frame 1; Dispatched 1 descending carrier in the descending sub frame 3; The DAI=1 that carries in the descending sub frame 3 then; And 2 descending carriers have been dispatched in the descending sub frame 4; The DAI=2 that carries in the descending sub frame 4 then; Wherein, The descending carrier of dispatching in each descending sub frame can be downlink sharied signal channel (Physical Downlink SharedChannel, PDSCH).
In the present embodiment, in the TDD system, because DAI has only 2bits; And the descending carrier number of UE polymerization is N in the system, and N gets natural number, aggregate maximum carrier number T≤N that system can support; Then corresponding DAI is provided with when being scheduled the descending carrier number accordingly, comprises but is not limited to following mode:
In four kinds of values that DAI characterizes, set the respectively corresponding b1 kind descending carrier scheduling of any a1 value number, and set the respectively corresponding b1-1 kind descending carrier scheduling of other 4-a1 values number; Wherein, a1=(T-1) mod 4+1, b1=ceil (T/4), T are the aggregate maximum carrier number that system can support, and mod is for getting surplus operation, and ceil is the capping operation.
For example, suppose T=4, a1=4 then, b1=1 so, consults shown in the table 2, and when the value of DAI was " 00 ", " 01 ", " 10 ", " 11 ", the expression descending carrier number that is scheduled was 1,2,3,4 respectively.Certainly, table 2 only is giving an example of a kind of situation, is not limited to this a kind of set-up mode.
Table 2
Again for example, suppose T=5, a=1 then, b=2; So, consult shown in the table 3, when the value of DAI is " 00 "; Then the expression descending carrier number that is scheduled is 1 or 5, and the value of DAI is when be " 01 ", " 10 ", " 11 ", and the descending carrier number of then representing respectively to be scheduled is 2,3,4.
Table 3
Certainly; T=5; A1=1; During b1=2; The four kinds of values of DAI and the mapping relations that are scheduled between the descending carrier number also can be set to the form shown in table 4 or the table 5; Concrete set-up mode is decided in its sole discretion according to actual application environment by administrative staff, and following examples are all like this, will repeat no more at this.
Table 4
Table 5
Again for example, suppose T=10, then a1=2; B1=3; So, consult shown in the table 6, when the value of DAI is " 00 "; The descending carrier number of then representing to be scheduled is 1 or 2 or 3; The value of DAI is when " 01 ", then the expression descending carrier number that is scheduled is 4 or 5 or 6, and when the value of DAI be " 10 ", the descending carrier number of then representing to be scheduled was 7 or 8; And the DAI value is when being " 11 ", and then the expression descending carrier number that is scheduled is 9 or 10.Wherein, three kinds of corresponding respectively descending carrier numbers that are scheduled of " 00 " and " 01 " have nothing in common with each other, and in like manner, two kinds of corresponding respectively number of lines that are scheduled down of " 10 " and " 11 " also have nothing in common with each other.Certainly, the mapping relations shown in the table 6 only are a kind of giving an example, and do not limit other set-up modes.
Table 6
Be different from above-mentioned first kind of situation; Under second kind of situation; For the FDD system; Also can in down dispatch information (DL grant), carry DAI; The descending carrier scheduling number that notice UE is current; Being the base station sends when carrying the down dispatch information of DAI to UE, in each descending carrier that is scheduled, carries corresponding D AI respectively.
Different with the TDD system, for reducing signaling consumption, DAI can comprise the 1bit data, also can comprise the 2bits data.
If DAI comprises the 1bit data; Then base station descending carrier that system can be dispatched is divided at least two groups (preferable ,≤three groups), and the descending carrier number that comprises in every group is not more than 2; And, set the corresponding respectively a kind of descending carrier scheduling number of two kinds of values that DAI characterizes to each group descending carrier.
For example, consult shown in Figure 9ly, have 5 polymerization descending carriers in the supposing the system, the base station is divided into it 3 groups in advance so, and wherein, descending carrier 1 is first group with descending carrier 2, and descending carrier 3 is second group with descending carrier 4, and descending carrier 5 is the 3rd group.2 descending carriers in first group all are scheduled, then corresponding DAI=2; Have only 1 descending carrier to be scheduled in second group, then corresponding DAI=1; 1 descending carrier in the 3rd group is scheduled, then corresponding DAI=1.And the two kinds of values of the DAI of 1bit and the mapping relations that are scheduled between the descending carrier number can be set to the form shown in the table 7, but only for for example, are not limited thereto.
Table 7
If DAI comprises the 2bit data; Then base station descending carrier that system can be dispatched is divided at least two groups; The descending carrier number that comprises in every group is not more than 4, and to each group descending carrier, sets the corresponding respectively a kind of descending carrier scheduling number of four kinds of values that DAI characterizes.
For example, consult shown in Figure 10ly, have 5 polymerization descending carriers in the supposing the system, the base station is divided into it 2 groups in advance so, and wherein, descending carrier 1, descending carrier 2, descending carrier 3 and descending carrier 4 are first group, and descending carrier 5 is second group.There are 3 descending carriers to be scheduled in first group, then corresponding DAI=3; 1 descending carrier in second group is scheduled, then corresponding DAI=1.And the four kinds of values of the DAI of 2bit and the mapping relations that are scheduled between the descending carrier number can be set to the form shown in the table 8, but only for for example, are not limited thereto.
Table 8
Various DAI that put down in writing among the above embodiment and the mapping relations between the descending carrier number of being scheduled are made an appointment by base station side and end side, are present in base station side and end side simultaneously.
Based on the foregoing description, to consult shown in Figure 11ly, in the present embodiment, after UE received the down dispatch information that carries DAI that sends the base station, the detailed process that merges the feedback response message was following:
Step 1100:UE receives the down dispatch information that carries DAI that the base station adopts the method for step 700-step 710 record to send, and based on this DAI descending carrier number of confirming to be scheduled.
Step 1110:UE receives data through each descending carrier that is scheduled, and judges and whether lose descending carrier in the feedback window, if then carry out step 1120; Otherwise, carry out step 1130.
So-called feedback window promptly is meant a plurality of descending carriers and the descending sub frame that in same sub-frame of uplink, carry out the ACK/NACK feedback information.For the TDD system, the big or small L=N * M of feedback window, wherein N is the descending carrier number of UE polymerization, the descending sub frame number of M in same sub-frame of uplink, feeding back.For the FDD system, the big or small L=N of feedback window, N are the descending carrier number of UE polymerization.
In the present embodiment, during UE execution in step 1110, comprise but be not limited to following two kinds of implementations:
First kind: receive before the data/receive in the data procedures/receive after the data; UE (also can adopt other modes based on the DAI that receives with each down dispatch information; Here only for giving an example) judge whether lose descending carrier in the feedback window; If; Then data are not deciphered, do not fed back any information yet to base station side; Otherwise, again data are deciphered and are carried out subsequent treatment.
Second kind: decipher immediately after receiving data; Walk abreast; UE (also can adopt other modes based on the DAI that receives with each down dispatch information; Here only for giving an example) judge whether lose descending carrier in the feedback window; If; Then regardless of the data decoding result, all preferential selection is not fed back any information to base station side; Otherwise, carry out subsequent treatment according to the data decoding result.
In the above-mentioned steps 1100, so-called UE confirms to lose in the feedback window situation that descending carrier is meant that the part descending carrier is lost.For example; Consult shown in Figure 8; In descending sub frame 1; UE receives only the descending carrier 1 and descending carrier 2 that is scheduled, and loses descending carrier 3, and then UE can be according in descending sub frame 1; Confirm to lose descending carrier 3 from descending carrier 1 and DAI and down dispatch information that descending carrier 2 receives; If descending carrier 1, descending carrier 2 and descending carrier 3 are all lost, then UE can not judge and lose descending carrier, and the handled mode of this situation will be introduced in flow.Again for example; Consult shown in Figure 9; In first group of downstream carrier group; If UE receives only the descending carrier 1 that is scheduled; Lose descending carrier 2, then UE can confirm to lose descending carrier 2 according to the DAI and the down dispatch information that receive from descending carrier 1, if descending carrier 1 is all lost with descending carrier 2; Then UE can not judge and lose descending carrier, and the handled mode of this situation also will be introduced in flow.
Step 1120:UE confirms to lose in the feedback window descending carrier according to judged result, then not to the base station feedback response message, i.e. and DTX state.
Step 1130:UE confirms not lose in the feedback window descending carrier according to judged result, then whether further judges in each descending carrier that is scheduled in the feedback window arbitrary code word generation decoding error according to the data decoding result, if then carry out step 1140; Otherwise, carry out step 1150.
Step 1140:UE is to the base station feedback nack message.
Step 1150:UE is according to the number of the correct descending carrier relevant information that receives in the feedback window, to the corresponding ACK information of base station feedback.
In the present embodiment; For the TDD system; The number of the correct descending carrier relevant information that receives in the then above-mentioned feedback window; Number for the correct descending sub frame that receives in the feedback window; And for the FDD system; The number of the correct descending carrier relevant information that receives in the above-mentioned feedback window is the number of the correct downstream carrier group that receives in the feedback window.
When carrying out above-mentioned steps 1140 with step 1150, UE can adopt but be not limited to following dual mode and come feeding back ACK/nack message:
1) adopt the b0 comprise the 2bits data, b1 is to base station side feeding back ACK/nack message, wherein,
At b0, in four kinds of values that b1 characterizes, set the corresponding nack message of any value; And in other values; Set a2 value corresponding b2 kind ACK information respectively, set 3-a2 value corresponding b2-1 kind ACK information respectively, be used for the number of the descending carrier relevant information of indicating correct reception; Wherein, A2=(T-1) mod 3+1, b2=ceil (T/3), T are the aggregate maximum carrier number that system can support; Mod is for getting surplus operation, and ceil is the capping operation.
For example, suppose T=3, then a2=3; B1=1; So, consult shown in the table 9 b0; When the value of b1 is " 00 "; What then represent UE feedback is nack message, b0, the value of b1 be " 01 ", " 10 " and " 11 " time; What then represent the UE feedback is ACK information, and the number of the descending carrier relevant information of the correct reception of indication is respectively 1,2 and 3.Certainly, the mapping relations shown in the table 9 only for for example, are not limited to this a kind of mapping mode, and the various values of the number of the correct descending carrier relevant information that receives shown in the table 9 also can set up on their own according to actual application environment, repeat no more at this.
Table 9
Again for example, suppose T=8, a2=2 then, b2=3 so, consults shown in the table 10, b0, when the value of b1 was " 00 ", what then represent the UE feedback was nack message; B0; When the value of b1 is " 01 ", " 10 " and " 11 "; What then represent the UE feedback is ACK information; And the number of the descending carrier relevant information of the correct reception of " 01 " indication is for being 1 or 2 or 3; The number of the descending carrier relevant information of the correct reception of " 10 " indication is 4 or 5 or 6; The number of the descending carrier relevant information of the correct reception of " 11 " indication is 7 or 8; Obviously, the value of the number of the descending carrier relevant information of " 01 ", " 10 " and " 11 " pairing correct reception has nothing in common with each other.Certainly, the mapping relations shown in the table 10 only for for example, are not limited to this a kind of mapping mode, and the various values of the number of the correct descending carrier relevant information that receives shown in the table 10 also can set up on their own according to actual application environment, repeat no more at this.
Table 10
2) adopt comprise 5 phase-shift keyings (PSK) symbol d (n) to base station side feeding back ACK/nack message, wherein,
In five kinds of values that d (n) characterizes; Set the corresponding nack message of any value, and in other values, set a3 value corresponding b3 kind ACK information respectively; Set 4-a3 value corresponding b3-1 kind ACK information respectively; The number that is used for the descending carrier relevant information of indicating correct reception, wherein, a3=(T-1) mod 4+1; B3=ceil (T/4); T is the aggregate maximum carrier number that system can support, mod is for getting surplus operation, and ceil is the capping operation.
For example, suppose T=4, a3=4 then, b3=1.Then, refer to Table 11, d (n) whose value is "1", the UE indicates a NACK feedback information, d (n) whose value is
and
, it means UE feedback is ACK information, and indicates the correct reception of the information related to the number of
downlink carrier 2, 3 and 4, respectively.Certainly, the mapping relations shown in the table 11 only for for example, are not limited to this a kind of mapping mode, and the various values of the number of the correct descending carrier relevant information that receives shown in the table 11 also can set up on their own according to actual application environment, repeat no more at this.
Table 11
As another example, assume that T = 8, then a3 = 2, b3 = 2, then, see Table 12, d (n) whose value is "1", the UE indicates a NACK feedback information; d (n ) whose value is
and
, the UE indicates that the ACK information feedback, and
indicates the correct reception of the downlink carrier of information related to the number of 1 or 2,
indicates the correct information received downlink carrier number is 3 or 4 ,
indicating correct reception of the information related to the number of downlink carriers is 5 or 6,
instructions correctly received information related to the number of downlink carrier is 7 or 8, obviously,
and
corresponding to the correct reception of downlink carrier to take the number of relevant information value is different....Certainly, the mapping relations shown in the table 12 only for for example, are not limited to this a kind of mapping mode, and the various values of the number of the correct descending carrier relevant information that receives shown in the table 12 also can set up on their own according to actual application environment, repeat no more at this.
Table 12
Adopt aforesaid way, UE can feed back to the base station with the merging of the Data Receiving situation in the feedback window through not to the mode of base station feedback response message, feeding back ACK/nack message, carries out corresponding subsequent processing by the base station according to the feedback of UE.Comprise:
After situation 1:UE receives data; Confirm to have at least one descending carrier decoding error in the feedback window, then feed back nack message, after the base station receives nack message; Know the data packet transmission mistake, then all descending carriers that are scheduled in the feedback window are retransmitted.
For example, consult shown in Figure 8ly, suppose to have a descending carrier decoding failure at least, then to base station feedback d (n)=1 in each descending carrier that UE confirms that descending sub frame 1-4 comprises.The data packet transmission mistake is known after receiving d (n)=1 in the base station, and then all descending carriers that are scheduled that all wireless sub-frames in the feedback window are comprised retransmit.
Again for example, consult shown in Figure 9ly, suppose to have a descending carrier decoding failure at least, then to base station feedback d (n)=1 in each descending carrier that UE confirms that downstream carrier group one to three comprises.The data packet transmission mistake is known after receiving d (n)=1 in the base station, and then all descending carriers that are scheduled that all downstream carrier group in the feedback window are comprised retransmit.
Situation 2:UE confirms to have at least in the feedback window descending carrier to lose, then not to the base station feedback response message after receiving data; It is the DTX state; The data packet transmission mistake is known after confirming that UE is the DTX state in the base station, then all descending carriers that are scheduled in the feedback window is retransmitted.
UE confirms to have at least in the feedback window descending carrier to lose to comprise:
For example, consult shown in Figure 8ly, the number of the descending carrier that UE receives in certain descending sub frame is less than the value of the DAI that carries in this descending sub frame;
Again for example, consult shown in Figure 9ly, the number of the descending carrier that UE receives in certain downstream carrier group is less than the value of the DAI that carries in this downstream carrier group.
After situation 3:UE receives data, confirm that the data of reception in the feedback window are all deciphered correctly, then to the corresponding ACK information of base station feedback, all packets are known all by correct reception after receiving ACK information in the base station, do not need to retransmit.
For example, referring to Figure 8, UE determines the received data in the
downlink subframes 1, a
downlink sub-frame 3, the downlink subframe 4, all the scheduled downlink carrier are decoded correctly, the feedback to the base station
base station receives
after , informed that all packets are received correctly, do not be retransmitted.
As another example, referring to Figure 9, UE determines the data in the received
downlink carrier Group 1, the downlink carrier group II group III of the downlink carrier, of all the scheduled downlink carrier are decoded correctly, the feedback to the base station
base station receives
after informed that all packets are received correctly, do not be retransmitted.
After situation 4:UE receives data; Confirm that the data that receive in the feedback window all decipher correctly, then to the corresponding ACK information of base station feedback, after the base station reception ACK information; Know to have the packet of losing, just the descending carrier that all are scheduled in the feedback window is retransmitted.
For example, referring to Figure 8, UE in the feedback window, only the downlink subframe 1 and downlink sub-frame 3, data is received, the downlink subframe 4 lost, and in the downlink subframe 1 and downlink sub-frame 3 in the closed to all downstream carriers are decoded properly, the UE to the base station feedback
base station receives
After informed of a packet loss, the loss of a downlink sub-frame, the feedback window downlink subframes 1, a downlink sub-frame 3 and the downstream subframe 4 contains all the downlink carrier is scheduled for retransmission.
As another example, referring to Figure 9, UE in the feedback window, only the downlink carrier group I and group II received downlink carrier data downlink carrier group of three all lost, and in the downlink carrier downlink carrier group I and group II all received downlink carrier are decoded properly, the UE to the base station feedback
base station receives
after informed that there is packet loss, which lost a downlink carrier group, the feedback window downlink carrier group one, group two and downlink carrier groups of three downlink carrier contains all the downlink carrier is scheduled for retransmission.
In sum, in the embodiment of the invention, in the LTE-A system; After UE receives the DAI that sends the base station; According to the DAI descending carrier number of confirming to be scheduled, and receive data, and judge whether lose descending carrier in the feedback window through each descending carrier that is scheduled; If confirm to lose in the feedback window descending carrier, then not to the base station feedback response message according to judged result; If confirm not lose in the feedback window descending carrier according to judged result; Then whether further judge in each descending carrier that is scheduled in the feedback window arbitrary code word generation decoding error according to the data decoding result; If; Then to the base station feedback nack message; Otherwise; According to the number of the correct descending carrier relevant information that receives in the feedback window, to the corresponding ACK information of base station feedback.Like this; UE is not just through to the mode of base station feedback response message, feeding back ACK/nack message; The merging of Data Receiving situation in the feedback window is fed back to base station side; Make base station side can in time know the data receiving state of UE; And take place when unusual in Data Receiving; Adopt in time accurately that strategy carries out handled, thereby improved system survivability to a great extent, also promoted the performance and the service quality of system.
Obviously, those skilled in the art can carry out various changes and modification to the present invention and not break away from this
Bright spirit and scope.Like this, belong within the scope of claim of the present invention and equivalent technologies thereof if of the present invention these are revised with modification, then the present invention also is intended to comprise these changes and modification interior.
