Description

Uplink scheduling method and system, terminal and base station

technical field

The present invention relates to an uplink random access technology, in particular to an uplink scheduling method and system, a terminal and a base station in a high-speed uplink packet access system.

Background technique

The high-speed uplink packet access technology improves the performance of uplink packet data through fast scheduling and fast retransmission combining at the physical layer. For this reason, the high-speed uplink packet access technology introduces a new transport channel—Enhanced Dedicated Transport Channel (E-DCH, Enhanced Dedicated Transport Channel) for carrying user data, and E-DCH is specially used for carrying uplink Data uplink channel. In addition, the physical channel carrying the enhanced dedicated transport channel is a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH, Physical Random Access Channel).

The terminal has two basic operating modes, namely idle mode and connected mode. The connection mode can be further divided into the following different states: URA_PCH (URA_PCH, Universal mobile telecommunication system Radio access network Register area PagingChannel) state, cell paging channel (CELL_PCH, CELL Paging Channel) state, cell forward access channel (CELL_FACH, CELL Forward Access Channel) state and cell dedicated channel (CELL_DCH, CELLDedicated Channel) state, etc. These states define the types of physical channels and transmission channels that the terminal can use.

In the CELL_FACH state, when sending uplink data, the terminal can use the high-speed uplink packet access technology to send uplink user data through the enhanced dedicated transmission channel. There are two transmission time intervals of the enhanced dedicated transmission channel, one is the transmission time interval of 2 milliseconds, that is, the scheduling of the enhanced dedicated transmission channel is carried out at an interval of 2 milliseconds to send the enhanced dedicated transmission channel data. The transmission time interval of 2 milliseconds is called the short transmission time interval; the other is the transmission time interval of 10 milliseconds, that is, the enhanced dedicated transmission channel is scheduled at an interval of 10 milliseconds to send the enhanced dedicated transmission channel data. A transmission time interval of 10 milliseconds is called a long transmission time interval.

When the terminal carries out services such as email push (PUSH Email) and virtual connection, it needs to frequently send/receive small packet data with the server. In view of this, the terminal can adopt the resident CELL_FACH state to implement the above services, so as to avoid frequent transition to the CELL_DCH state. In addition, smartphone terminals have been used on a large scale in the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System), and it is necessary to focus on improving the efficiency of the uplink according to the current network situation, especially the enhancement of the enhanced dedicated transmission channel. usage efficiency.

In the prior art, all public enhanced dedicated transmission channel resources can only be configured as short transmission time intervals, or can only be configured as long transmission time intervals. Considering the main constraint of ensuring a large random access channel coverage, the network usually tends to choose a scheduling period configured with a long transmission time interval. In this way, those terminals with a larger power headroom are forced to use a lower rate to transmit data, making the gains brought by the fast scheduling of short transmission time intervals unavailable. At the same time, those terminals with a small power headroom cannot benefit from the larger cell edge coverage brought about by the scheduling period of the long transmission time interval.

Considering the above limitations, it is desired to make the following improvement, the common enhanced dedicated transmission channel resources in the cell can be used for scheduling both short transmission time intervals and long transmission time intervals. According to the network coverage and terminal characteristics, the terminal dynamically selects the short transmission time interval or the long transmission time interval to use the enhanced dedicated transmission channel resource, so as to ensure the coverage and meet the user's high-speed transmission requirements.

detailed description

The basic idea of the present invention is: by dividing the preamble signature of PRACH into at least two types used to indicate short transmission time interval scheduling and long transmission time interval scheduling, it is realized that when the terminal performs uplink data scheduling, it can use both The scheduling of the short transmission time interval mode can also be used for the scheduling of the long transmission time interval mode.

In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail by citing the following embodiments and referring to the accompanying drawings.

In the present invention, the network side (radio network controller, etc.) divides the available preamble signatures of the preamble part of the physical random access channel bearing the enhanced dedicated transport channel into the available preamble signature subset A and the available preamble signature subset B. Wherein, using the available preamble signature subset A indicates that the interval period of the short transmission time interval is used to schedule the enhanced dedicated transport channel to send or receive the enhanced dedicated transport channel data. The available preamble signature subset B is used to indicate that the interval period of the long transmission time interval is used to schedule the enhanced dedicated transport channel to send or receive the enhanced dedicated transport channel data. The terminal decides the transmission time interval used for uplink (that is, determines the scheduling method of uplink data), and notifies the base station (Node B) of the selected uplink data scheduling method by using the available preamble signature subset A or the available preamble signature subset B (Scheduling uplink data in a long time interval mode or scheduling uplink data in a short time interval mode). The terminal and the node B send and receive data on the enhanced dedicated transport channel at consistent transmission time intervals.

The base station in the present invention mainly refers to a Node B (Node B). Of course, for a multi-application communication system, it may also be a common base station or an evolved base station.

The essence of the technical solution of the present invention is further clarified through specific examples below.

Embodiment one

This example focuses on the uplink random access and uplink data transmission process on the terminal side. The terminal resides in a certain cell and is in the forward access channel state of the cell. Fig. 1 is a flow chart of Embodiment 1 of the uplink scheduling method of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, the uplink scheduling method in this example specifically includes the following steps:

Step 110, the terminal receives the radio resource control (RRC, Radio Resource Control) signaling sent by the radio network controller in the cell where it resides, and obtains the following information from it: the preamble of the physical random access channel carrying the enhanced dedicated transport channel The available preamble signature subset A and the available preamble signature subset B of the available preamble signatures. The use of the available preamble signature subset A indicates that the interval period of the short transmission time interval is used to schedule the enhanced dedicated transport channel to send (terminal side) or receive (base station side) enhanced dedicated transport channel data. The use of the available preamble signature subset B indicates that the EDTCH data is sent or received by using the interval period of the long transmission time interval to schedule the EDTCH.

The terminal saves the information of the available preamble signature subset A and the available preamble signature subset B obtained from the radio network controller.

In step 120, it is assumed that the terminal decides to use the short transmission time interval to schedule the E-DTC to send E-DTC data according to a certain strategy. Here, the policy of scheduling uplink data in a short transmission time interval mode or in a long transmission time interval mode is pre-configured in the terminal. For example, when the network coverage needs to be guaranteed, the uplink data is scheduled in a long time interval mode, and the uplink data is scheduled in a short time interval mode when the data transmission rate needs to be increased. The configuration of the above strategies is easy to implement, and since it is not a difficult point or a key point in implementing the technical solution of the present invention, the manner of determining the strategies will not be repeated here.

Step 130, the terminal initiates uplink random access. The terminal randomly selects a preamble signature from the available preamble signature subset A to construct a preamble of the PRACH, and performs uplink random access.

Step 140, the terminal downlink receives the forward acknowledgment of the acquisition indication channel from the Node B, and the enhanced dedicated transmission channel resource allocated by the Node B for the terminal.

Step 150, the terminal performs EDTC scheduling at short transmission time intervals to send EDTCH data. After the data transmission ends, the enhanced dedicated transmission channel resources are released.

In step 160, it is assumed that the terminal decides to use a long transmission time interval to schedule the E-DTC to send E-DTC data according to a certain strategy.

Step 170, the terminal attempts to initiate uplink random access. The terminal randomly selects a preamble signature from the available preamble signature subset B to construct a PRACH preamble, and performs uplink random access.

Step 180, the terminal receives downlink the forward acknowledgment from the acquisition indication channel, and the enhanced dedicated transmission channel resources allocated by the Node B for the terminal.

Step 190, the terminal performs EDTC scheduling at long transmission time intervals to send EDTCH data. After the data transmission ends, the enhanced dedicated transmission channel resources are released.

It should be noted that, in the present invention, the radio network controller is only a representative of the network side, and in other communication networks, it may also be a mobility management entity (MME, Mobile Management Entity), etc., of course, it may also be other network element.

The available preamble signature subset B indicates that the interval period of the long transmission time interval is used to schedule the enhanced dedicated transport channel to send or receive enhanced dedicated transport channel data. Node B saves this information.

The NBAP signaling includes the following information: the available preamble signature subset A and the available preamble signature subset B of the available preamble signatures of the preamble part of the physical random access channel carrying the enhanced dedicated transport channel. Using the subset A of the available preamble signatures indicates that the interval period of the short transmission time interval is used to schedule the enhanced dedicated transport channel to send or receive the enhanced dedicated transport channel data. The use of the available preamble signature subset B indicates that the EDTCH data is sent or received by using the interval period of the long transmission time interval to schedule the EDTCH.

Step 330, the radio network controller sends RRC signaling to the terminal in the designated cell, and the RRC signaling includes the following information: the available preamble signature of the preamble part of the physical random access channel carrying the enhanced dedicated transport channel Set A and subset B of available leading signatures. Wherein, the available preamble signature subset A indicates that the interval period of the short transmission time interval is used to schedule the enhanced dedicated transport channel to send or receive the enhanced dedicated transport channel data. The available preamble signature subset B indicates that the interval period of the long transmission time interval is used to schedule the enhanced dedicated transport channel to send or receive enhanced dedicated transport channel data.

In the present invention, the radio network controller can send NBAP signaling and RRC signaling to the base station and the terminal to notify the division method of the PRACH preamble signature, or first notify the base station through the NBAP signaling, and then the base station notifies the terminal. Since it is easy to implement the above-mentioned notification, the present invention does not repeat the specific implementation manner thereof.
