The RT coexistence mechanism
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, real-time coexistence framework is provided, this real-time coexistence framework depends on two kinds of methods (or in these methods at least one), i.e. protocol synchronization and business arbitration.
For example, protocol synchronization may comprise two kinds of mechanism: utilizing available wherein LTE RF 1014 is that the RF of idle period and tissue-welding system 1018 is movable, makes RX(namely receive) period is with the LTE RX period occurs simultaneously and TX (namely transmitting) period and LTE TX period occur simultaneously.Protocol synchronization can realize via the use of the indication of LTE frame and LTE gap indication, described signal allows second transceiver 1018(WLAN or BT) dispatch its activity at following reasonable time: namely when LTE RF 1014 is the free time, or when corresponding activity is compatible (that is, making first transceiver 1014 and second transceiver 1018 both receive or make first transceiver 1014 and second transceiver 1018 both to transmit).
Business arbitration can comprise the indication of movable and LTE RF 1014 activities at first of reception CWS 1018 at first and be chosen in and allows the business of carrying out when having identified conflict.Can be real-time via RT() moderator is used for drawing the movable indication of CWS of CWS-kill and LTE-kill signal (" rejection (kill) " is used for frame or the subframe of the communication technology, namely forbids in subframe or frame via communication technology transmission), realizes the business arbitration.
Hereinafter, described in the situation that (namely just operate under tdd mode at LTE RF 1014) in the LTE-TDD situation according to the LTE frame indication that is used for protocol synchronization aspect of the present disclosure.
As tdd systems, LTE-TDD has unique DL and UL subframe frame structure both of comprising.This is graphic extension in Figure 11.
Figure 11 shows frame structure 1100.
Frame structure 1100 illustrates LTE-TDD frame 1101, and described LTE-TDD frame 1101 comprises: the DL subframe, namely divide the subframe that is used in downlink transmission (wherein LTE RF 1024 receive datas); The UL subframe is namely divided the subframe that is used in ul transmissions (wherein LTE RF 1028 the transmission of datas); With special (S) subframe, it for example can be used as guard time and pilot transmission.
Exist for one group of seven kinds of possible configuration that TDD defines in 3GPP.The selected configuration of whichever, tdd frame structure comprise periodic DL/UL pattern, its can be sent to CWS chip 1024 and can being connected property system 1018 utilize with the dispatching communication business.
LTE tdd frame structure is static or change seldom typically.It can transmit via NRT message and indicate to CWS chip 1028 via NRT interface 1032.CWS chip 1028 and LTE-TDD frame between regularly required synchronously can with as in Figure 11 the LTE-frame_sync signal 1102 of graphic extension carry out via RT interface 1026,1030.
The LTE frame begins (being the beginning of each frame 1001) and indicates to CWS chip 1024 via pulse advancing 1 ms by the 1 ms transmission in advance of the RT interface (namely via RT interface 1026,1030) between the first telecommunication circuit 1022 and second communication circuit 1024.
Use that signal via NRT message with the LTE frame sync signal coupling of LTE frame structure, CWS chip 1024 has comprehensive knowledge of LTE-TDD frame and therefore it can dispatch its communication activity.
Formed by NRT interface 1028,1032 by described the first telecommunication circuit 1022 and second communication circuit 1024() between NRT(coexist) this LTE-TDD frame structure signaling message of interface for example has the form as graphic extension in table 1.
Figure 147948DEST_PATH_IMAGE001
This message may be lowered to 3 (only 7 kinds of configurations) and can add the coding of S subframe structure:
Configure as seven kinds of UL/DL tdd frames that define in 3GPP: 3
Nine kinds of special sub-frame configuration: 4.
Consider that this message is NRT message and uses implicit LTE configuration codes will require some about the LTE knowledge of connectivity chip 1024, what may wish is to adhere to 20 clear and definite codings.
For the LTE-FDD(Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD)) LTE frame indication in situation, LTE frequency band 7 UL 204 are maximally related frequency bands.This is uplink band, so all subframes are the UL subframes.Yet LTE frame indication also can be used in this case in order to allow CWS chip 1024 suitably to dispatch its activity on LTE UL subframe border.It also can be used for making its system clock synchronous by the LTE system clock by CWS chip 1024.
Arbitrate the medium access that provides CWS 1018 when (business), this can be according to definition until by the end of the LTE subframe vetoed where applicable all, the subframe border of knowing CWS 1018 can application schedules so as to maximize until (LTE) subframe of being vetoed end up being the traffic carrying capacity that spline is moved.
Hereinafter, described in the situation that the discontinuous reception of LTE-FDD (DRX) and discontinuous transmission (DTX) be used for the LTE gap indication of protocol synchronization according to an aspect of the present disclosure.
LTE has been designed to tackle the needs of mobile Internet access.Internet service can be by the high sudden sign with peak data rates and long silence period.Save the discontinuous reception of the LTE permission DRX(of system in order to be allowed for battery).Support respectively by the two kind DRX profiles of short DRX with long DRX reply.For reverse link, i.e. up link, in order to increase power system capacity, the LTE system allows discontinuous transmission (DTX).
For example, for the upper voice of VoLTE(LTE), the business in the time of can supposing etc.Every 20 ms produce a grouping due to speech coder, thereby can utilize the basic cycle property of LTE business to carry out WLAN and BT transmission during the LTE silence period.
As an example, be 1 for the minimum permissible value of 2(DRX inertia time in 3GPP the 9th version) the inertia period, (schedule) is shown in Figure 12 for the UL/DL dispatch list.
Figure 12 shows data transmission scheme 1200.
In data transmission scheme 1200, the time from left to right increases.Data transmission scheme 1200 illustrates up link LTE transfer of data 1201, down link LTE transfer of data 1202 and illustrate the time (aspect subframe) that can be used for CWS 1024 due to the DRX period 1207 on the timeline 1203 of bottom.
The first hachure 1204 indication can be used for CWS 1024(for example BT or WLAN) period, the second hachure 1205 indications may can be used for period of CWS 1024 and period that the 3rd hachure 1206 indications can be utilized by CWS 1024.
In the timeline 1203 of bottom, these periods (by the first hachure 1204 and the second hachure 1205) are labeled, and expection does not have the LTE-UL activity and therefore can give CWS 1024 within the described period.Should be pointed out that is needing to give LTE transceiver 1022(the glitch-free time especially at it during as the role of receiver before reception on the horizon) so that the AGC(automatic gain control) stable and again obtain potentially signal.For the short LTE DRX period, this period is about 300 μ s; For long DRX cycle, it is less than 1.3 ms.
The LTE standard also provide a kind of mechanism that is called semi-continuous scheduling (SPS) with in the situation that when waiting transmission reduce signaling consumption.In this case, UL authorizes by the SPS dispatch list and impliedly provides and the DRX period can be just at the TTI(of receiving scheduling Transmission Time Interval) begin afterwards.
Hereinafter, the RT algorithm that can be used for the LTE-FDD gap indication of protocol synchronization according to an aspect of the present disclosure has been described.
The LTE transmission gap can be created at any time by the decision rule of communication terminal 1000 in accordance with network design.The beginning of these transmission and end are indicated to CWS 1024 according to an aspect of the present disclosure, the profile that makes CWS 1024 can dispatch its data service (for example, in the situation that CWS 1024 uses asynchronous without connecting link based on ACL() in transmission gap is carried out WLAN communication or Bluetooth communication).
In 3GPP the 9th version, there is the basic reason of three kinds of possible establishment transmission gaps: measurement clearance, DRX/DTX and autonomous measurement clearance.
Measure (transmission) gap at LTE L1 level 34 ms or 74 ms know and be that 6 ms grow in advance.DRX/DTX(transmission in subframe) the PDCCH(packet data control channel of gap in the previous subframe of decoding) namely in advance for example be approximately 200 μ s much smaller than 1 ms(afterwards) be known.Yet the transmission gap decision-making can be point-to-point at ad-hoc() vetoed under pattern until till 1.5 ms before the beginning transmission gap.
LTE gap signaling graphic extension in Figure 13 according to an aspect of the present disclosure.
Figure 13 shows transmission diagram 1300.
Transmission diagram 1300 illustrates up link LTE transfer of data 1301, down link LTE transfer of data 1302, uplink transmission gap signaling 1303 and downlink transmission gaps signaling 1304.Time from left to right increases.
In the present example, there are uplink transmission gap 1305 and downlink transmission gaps 1306.Uplink transmission gap 1305 is by uplink transmission gap signal 1307(UL gap envelope signal) signal, and downlink transmission gaps 1306 is by downlink transmission gaps signal 1308(DL gap envelope signal) signal, wherein transmission gap 1305,1306 beginning and termination (end) be for example by uplink transmission gap signal 1307 and downlink transmission gaps signal 1308, for example via the RT interface between the first telecommunication circuit 1022 and second communication circuit 1024 in advance 1ms to 1204 indications of CWS chip.
Should be pointed out that according to 3GPP Rel11 – Work item " In Device Coexistence " (3GPP the 11st version-job " coexists in device "), can introduce the transmission gap of the new definition that especially triggers for coexisting purpose.To meet these new transmission gaps according to the transmission gap signaling of an aspect of the present disclosure.
In fact the decision-making of opinion transmission gap, the timing advance of DL gap envelope signal 1308 kept shorter, because can taked before the DL transmission gap and can only just carry out when having decoded PDCCH during last DL subframe.For the UL transmission gap, decision-making also is based on the decoding of DL subframe, but has the delay of about 4 ms between DL and UL subframe.In addition, the decision-making of UL transmission gap can be vetoed before it is employed, until before transmission gap starts 1.5 ms.The kill request (if any) that is later than this time is not employed.Therefore, the UL transmission gap starts and can shift to an earlier date 1 ms(<1.5 ms) signal.Similarly, transmission gap stops and can signal by maximum 1 ms in advance, because higher value can not be applied to 1 ms UL transmission gap (1 subframe).According to an aspect of the present disclosure, 1 ms shifts to an earlier date signaling and is preserved for LTE transmission gap termination signaling, because the maximization that shifts to an earlier date promotes the business scheduling in CWS 1018 sides.
As at Figure 13 indicating, value is for example tadv in advance 3: 150 μ s, tadv 4: 1ms, tadv 1And tadv 2: 1ms.
Should be pointed out that and to begin to realize optimum signaling for transmission gap with the transmission gap duration by indicating this transmission gap.
Should further point out, protocol synchronization also can be used for the discontinuous reception of LTE-TDD (DRX) and discontinuous transmission (DTX).
The arbitration of LTE-TDD situation is described hereinafter.
Use and due to the WLAN/BT protocol requirement due to the LTE resource, make at the agreement Complete Synchronization of every side and only use concurrent RX and concurrent TX may be not enough to support operating position, and the RX/TX event of some conflicts may occur.
Figure 14 and Figure 15 illustrate the contingent conflict between LTE-TDD operation and WLAN/BT operation.
Figure 14 shows transmission diagram 1400.
Transmission diagram 1400 illustrates in the situation that the generation of synchronous LTE-TDD and WLAN business transmission-reception conflict.
For each in three timelines 1401,1402,1403, the WLAN downlink transmission is illustrated on timeline 1401,1402,1403 and the WLAN ul transmissions is illustrated under timeline 1401,1402,1403, and wherein the time from left to right and for example increases along timeline 1401,1402,1403 from the top to the bottom.In addition, illustrate LTE transmission (or LTE sub-frame allocation) 1404,1405,1406 for timeline 1401,1402,1403.
Contingent RX/TX conflict between hachure 1407 indication WLAN transmission and LTE transmission.
Figure 15 shows transmission diagram 1500.
Transmission diagram 1500 illustrates in the situation that the generation of synchronous LTE-TDD and bluetooth service UL-DL conflict.
For each in three timelines 1501,1502,1503, blue-teeth data transmission is illustrated on timeline 1501,1502,1503 and blue-teeth data receives and is illustrated under timeline 1501,1502,1503, wherein for each in timeline 1501,1502,1503, the time from left to right increases.In addition, illustrate LTE transmission (or LTE sub-frame allocation) 1504,1505,1506 for timeline 1501,1502,1503.
Contingent UL/DL conflict between hachure 1507 indication Bluetooth transmission and LTE transmission.
The RX/TX conflict may be processed via arbitration, and this causes the LTE subframe to be lost potentially.Can carry out arbitration to determine whether the WLAN/BT business is allowed between WLAN/BT and LTE.
For example, when WLAN/BT transmission events (by second transceiver 1018) and LTE-DL subframe (i.e. scheduling by described first transceiver 1014 receives) when conflict, the execution real-time arbitration.Arbitrated procedure determines or rejection WLAN/BT transmits to protect the LTE-DL subframe or allow it occur.In the latter case, depend on the RF interference level, the LTE-DL subframe may not can is LTE physical layer (assembly by first transceiver 1014 is realized) decoding by LTE PHY.
In the LTE-UL situation, arbitration decisions may be to allow WLAN/BT to receive or allow LTE-UL subframe (being the LTE transmission).Can find out that Figure 14 and Figure 15 illustrate the impact that only depends on LTE refusal and LTE sensitivity (desense) for the WLAN on the LTE-TDD of full Connection service support (being the support of second transceiver 1018 on communicating by letter) and bluetooth operating position.This arrange the LTE-TDD side worst case and can be with the reference that acts on the enhancing that the coexistence mechanism that quantizes LTE-TDD provides.
For example under the background that is provided by the decision-making of NRT moderator, the RT arbitration can be (for example to be positioned at the LTE subsystem, in first transceiver 1014) HW and the entity realized of the mixing of SW, it processes the synchronous of first transceiver 1014 and second transceiver 1018 via real-time (coexisting) interface between first transceiver 1014 and second transceiver 1018 (being formed by RT interface 1026,1030).It draws the RT arbitration and (via the RT coexistence interface) applies it on first transceiver 1014 and second transceiver 1018.
For LTE-FDD, interference band is the UL frequency band.LTE UL can not be damaged by CWS, and therefore the effect of arbitration is lowered to protect or does not protect WLAN/BT RX to avoid LTE TX impact.When clashing, namely as to the scheduling of the mistake of Connection service or not enough medium access as a result the time, can use arbitration.This causes vetoing LTE UL subframe or allows its normal generation.
Figure 16 and 17 has described the WLAN and the bluetooth operating position that are used on the LTE-FDD of full Connection service support and has only depended on the impact that LTE refuses and LTE vetos.This arrange the LTE-FDD side worst case and can be with the reference that acts on the enhancing that the coexistence mechanism that quantizes LTE-FDD provides.

The interface 1026 that (coexists) in real time can be only realized or is realized by the mixing of the hardware and software that is arranged in LTE subsystem (being first transceiver 1014) by hardware.According to an aspect of the present disclosure, it comprises the synchronous and business arbitration with supported protocol of one group of eight proprietary live signal.For example, these signals can be controlled via the software driver that is arranged in the LTE subsystem.It is connected to CWS chip RT interface 1030.
The RT interface for example can comprise the business arbitrating signals shown in table 2.
Figure 327256DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
The RT interface for example can comprise as at the protocol synchronization signal shown in table 3.
Figure 602380DEST_PATH_IMAGE003
Hereinafter, provide the hard-wired example of the RT interface between first transceiver 1014 and second transceiver 1018.
This example has been described the RT interface between the first communication chip 1022 and connectivity chip 1024.The purpose of RT interface is to allow in the high-speed traffic between two chips 1022,1024 on both direction.Non-realtime traffic can for example be processed via the standard interface between first transceiver 1014 and second transceiver 1018.
Real-time interface can be counted as basically by forming as one group of discrete signal shown in Figure 18.
Figure 18 shows the telecommunication circuit 1800 according to an aspect of the present disclosure.
Telecommunication circuit 1800 is for example corresponding to described the first telecommunication circuit 1022.
Telecommunication circuit 1800 comprises LTE subsystem 1801(L1CC), it is mutual that it can control all hardware.Telecommunication circuit 1800 comprises RT interface 1803, via this RT interface 1803, LTE subsystem 1801 can use in various IDC(devices and coexist) signal is connected to for example second communication circuit 1024 of another telecommunication circuit, in the text of this signal below the left-hand side of RT interface 1803 is indicated and is described in greater detail in.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there is the particular requirement to the electrical characteristic of RT interface 1803.The IDC signal for example configures between the starting period in system.Do not reconfigure during operation the needs of IDC port (realizing RT interface 1803).
From the angle of hardware, can make the communication protocol about interface signal keep simple.Yet, may require extra hardware supports with the real-time processing of supporting interface signal (being the IDC signal) under the 1st straton system background.
Be responsible for being configured to output signal at output signal IDC_LteDrxEnv, IDC_LteDtxEnv and IDC_LteFrameSync(if LTE subsystem 1801 comprises) RT coexistence (coexisting) timer units 1804 of the upper accurate event of generation time.If IDC_LteFrameSync is configured to input signal, take LTE snapshot regularly.Characteristics of signals is described hereinafter in more detail.
IDC_LteFrameSync-LTE2CWS_SYNC configures (output signal):
This signal can be used to produce the pulse of frame period property into CWS 1018.Should be pointed out that this pulse signal may be unavailable during the LTE dormant stage.
IDC_LteDrxEnv,IDC_LteDtxEnv:
These output signals are for indicate the envelope signal in discontinuous transmission/reception stages towards CWS subsystem 1018.Whichever basic reason: DRX, DTX measures or any other, and they are used to indicate the discontinuous transmission/reception stage.These two signals can be programmed separately via timer.
IDC_LteFrameSync-CWS2LTE_SYNC configures (input signal):
Can use this signal, LTE2CWS_SYNC may expect as solution, and this is held as standby simultaneously.Via this signal, CWS subsystem 1018 can be asked LTE snapshot regularly.In addition, can produce interruption in the case.
LTE subsystem 1801 also comprises arbitration unit 1805, interrupts control unit (IRQ) 1806 and LTE and transmits (Tx) path 1807.Illustrate in greater detail arbitration unit 1805 in Figure 19.
Figure 19 shows the arbitration unit 1900 according to an aspect of the present disclosure.
Arbitration unit 1900 comprises IDC status register 1901, arbitration look-up table (LUT) 1902 and register 1903.
Arbitration unit 1900 can be used for state indication (for example, by means of IDC status register 1901) and be used for interrupting producing.For example, the current level of signal (the IDC coherent signal of for example mentioning hereinafter) can be monitored via arbitration unit 1900.In addition, some signals can be provided for and interrupt control unit 1806.
Arbitration unit 1900 is provided for the hardware supports of IDC real-time arbitration in its role as the arbitration unit.The task of arbitration unit 1900 is control signal IDC_LteActive and IDC_LteKill, and this depends on that input signal IDC_CwsActive, IDC_CwsTxRx and IDC_CwsPriority(are because its width can be counted as being comprised of two signal IDC_CwsPriority1 and IDC_CwdPriority2).For this purpose, the combination of input signal is completed according to programmable look up table, arbitration LUT 1902.Look-up table 1902 can be programmed via LTE subsystem 1801 instant (on-the-fly).
IDC_LteActive: this signal can be used on IDC RT interface 1803.Connectivity chip 1024 is receivers of this signal.This signal can be made of with in the situation that the input parameter that changes provides response fast hardware.For example, this signal reset and isolation level is zero.
IDC_LteKill: " ad-hoc(is point-to-point) " that this signal can be used to LTE transmission stops.In LTE subsystem 1014, this signal can be used to produce the interruption in LTE subsystem 1804 and/or LTE Tx path 1807.This signal can be used to manipulate directly Tx IQ data flow in principle.For standby purpose, externally IDC real-time interface 1803 places are as seen for the LteKill signal.If necessary, the LteKill signal can be connected to GPIO(universal input/output from RT interface 1803) in order to realize the quick rejection of current LTE transmission.
Arbitration LUT 1902 can be included as the special-purpose look-up table of IDC_LteActive and IDC_LteKill realization.
Arbitration unit 1900 can comprise the filter 1904 for output signal filtering.In principle, if for example input signal changes and/or look-up table 1902 is updated, the transient state on output signal (for example IDC_LteActive and IDC_LteKill) is possible.In the situation that transient state causes problem at receiver side, may require the filtering in output place.In this case, being only applicable to input in the variation of output place is stable situation in minimum time (for example 1 μ s).1 μ s filtering does not also mean that any granularity loss in signaling procedure, because do not need to indicate the event that is shorter than 1 μ s.This filtering produced for 1 μ s stand-by period, was requiring CWS 1 μ s, 1018 morning can hide the described 1 μ s stand-by period in indicating its activity on RT interface 1030.
The LTE rejection is a kind of following mechanism: be used for stopping (or termination) current LTE transmission (being UL communication), make LTE transceiver 1014 not transmit, for example use for WLAN/BT in order to discharge communication media.It can be for example occurs as the result of the real-time arbitration of supporting WLAN/BT.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, avoided the unexpected shutoff of LTE transmission, because this will have some side effects, such as spurious emissions with on may affecting that eNodeB AGC, power are controlled.
Spuious for fear of these, the LTE rejection can descend via power and orders (for example sending by the digRF interface) or carry out via the zeroing of IQ sample.The descend use of order of power can be selected by power off command because it provide reduction LTE through-put power down to-40 dBm(than p-50 dBm) avoid simultaneously undesirable side effect (such as the PLL(phase-locked loop) to close ...) possibility.
The variation that through-put power is guaranteed in the order that use sends by the digRF interface is used in mode stably, therefore avoids burr to produce.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, in order optimally to be adapted to the WLAN/BT business, the LTE rejection has the very short stand-by period, for example for the about 10 μ s and for the about 150 μ s of BT business of WLAN business.
Figure 20 shows transmission diagram 2000.
Along timeline 2001, show the WLAN business on medium, wherein to be illustrated in be on timeline 2001 and transfer of data (being uplink communication) is illustrated under timeline 2002 to data receiver (being downlink communication).In addition, show the LTE transmission of the first situation 2002 and the second situation 2003.In addition, show CWS Rx/Tx on RT interface 2004.
Should be pointed out that the WLAN activity is due to the CSMA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access) in contention have regularly uncertain:
If-WLAN device has won access, regularly uncertainty is approximately a few μ s.It can not accurately be known in advance, but it is by WLAN MAC(medium access control) the agreement constraint;
If-WLAN device has lost medium access, its activity differs hundreds of μ s and can be regarded as from the angle that coexists new business event.This can not be known in advance and can be repeated several times.
On the contrary, BT is regularly not uncertain.
Should be pointed out that and it is essential, guarantee that the LTE rejection is not suitable for the continuous re-transmission of identical subframe with protection HARQ.For FDD, this means that the LTE rejection of subframe n and n+8 is under an embargo.For this reason, can use pattern for the protection of the HARQ channel.
Should further point out, WLAN/BT may expect the abundant use of the remaining time in the LTE subframe of rejection.
Hereinafter, provided another example of the assembly of communication terminal 1000.
Figure 21 shows communication terminal 2100.
Communication terminal 2100 is for example corresponding to communication terminal 1000, wherein some assemblies only is shown and other are omitted for the sake of simplicity.
Communication terminal 2100 comprises: LTE subsystem 2101, for example corresponding to first transceiver 1014 and/or LTE subsystem 1801; With WLAN/ bluetooth communication circuit 2102, for example corresponding to described second communication circuit 1024.LTE subsystem 2101 comprises LTE radio module 2103 and for example corresponding to the telecommunication circuit 2104 of described the first telecommunication circuit 1022.LTE subsystem 2101 can be realized the 1st layer of L1() LTE communication stack 2114 and LTE protocol stack 2115(be on the 1st layer).
Communication terminal 2100 for example also comprises the application processor 2105 corresponding to processor (CPU) 1002.Connectivity is used 2112(and is comprised that WLAN uses and/or bluetooth applications) and LTE application 2113 may operate on application processor 2105.
Telecommunication circuit 2104 can comprise: NRT application program (application) coexistence interface 2106 is used for communicating by letter with application processor 2105 by means of the application interface 2109 of application processor 2105; With NRT coexistence interface 2107, for example corresponding to NRT interface 1028, be used for by means of for example communicating by letter with WLAN/BT telecommunication circuit 2102 corresponding to the NRT coexistence interface 2110 of the WLAN/BT telecommunication circuit 2102 of NRT interface 1032.
LTE subsystem 2101 comprises that RT arbitration entity 2111(is for example corresponding to arbitration unit 1805).
Telecommunication circuit 2104 also comprises (LTE-connectivity) NRT arbitration entity 2108.Should be pointed out that NRT arbitration entity 2108 not necessarily is arranged in telecommunication circuit 2104, but also can be arranged in communication terminal 1000, other assemblies of 2108.For example, it can be realized by CPU 1002.
LTE subsystem 2101 for example comprises the RT interface 2106 corresponding to a RT interface 1026, and WLAN/ bluetooth communication circuit 2102 for example comprises that corresponding to the 2nd RT interface 2107 of described the 2nd RT interface 1030, it can be counted as forming together the RT interface 2116 between LTE subsystem 2101 and WLAN/ bluetooth communication circuit 2102.
Table 4 shows for example can be at the cocommutative signal of RT interface 2116.
Figure 183534DEST_PATH_IMAGE004
Should be pointed out that CWS priority signal can be counted as two signal CWS priority 1 and 2 because of its width.
Should also be noted that first transceiver 1014 and second transceiver 1018 also can be via application processor 2105(namely, for example, CPU 1002) connect, rather than directly connect (as direct RT interface).In addition, should be pointed out that generally speaking, communication also can rather than use special signal (for example as shown in table 4) to realize via the serial or parallel bus.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, can use the RT pattern of degradation.Particularly, can be effectively connected to WLAN/ bluetooth communication circuit 2102 as coexist the only subset of I/F signal of the RT that provides in table 4.
For the platform of FDD only (namely in the situation that 1018 of first transceiver 1014 and second transceivers use FDD), (it is a) to remove DL gap envelop signal and CWS Tx/Rx signal that table 5 below is called option one, makes to keep six signals to be used for the first option of degradation RT interface.Because these signals that remove are useless for FDD, so on the not impact of performance that coexists.As the second option (being called option one b below in table 5), except removing DL gap envelop signal and CWS Tx/Rx signal, can remove CWS priority signal (CWS priority 1 and 2), make to keep four signals.In this case, no longer include the priority indication.Alternatively, can use light arbitration (light arbitration), wherein second transceiver 1018 can only be indicated the activity of high-priority service, but can not mutually distinguish from the high-priority service of BT and WLAN.
For FDD-TDD platform (namely in the situation that first transceiver 1014 and second transceiver 1018 use TDD and FDD both), the first option (being called option 2 below in table 5) is break away from arbitration and depend on separately service synchronization, makes three signals of only withing a hook at the end.In this case, second transceiver 1018 becomes pure from equipment (slave) and can only use remainingly by LTE communication (being first transceiver 1014) available communication resource, and the described communication resource is via DL gap envelop signal and UL gap envelop signal or structural synchronous and signal at tdd frame based on LTE frame sync signal.In this case, have no idea to protect the LTE business in order to avoid CWS scheduling wrong or evening excessively.
As the second selection (being called option 3 below in table 5), service synchronization and light arbitration may be held, and make to keep six signals.In this case, there is not the priority setting.Second transceiver 1018 can only be signaled on certain priority, but can not distinguish BT and WLAN.Identical arbitration rules are used for LTE-BT conflict and LTE-WLAN conflict.
Table 5 has been summed up the option that is used for degradation RT interface.

General coexistence framework
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, five entity handles LTE-CWS management: NRT arbitration entity 2108 that coexists, NRT uses coexistence interface 2106, the NRT coexistence interface is (by NRT coexistence interface 2107,2110 form), RT arbitration entity 2111 and RT coexistence interface (being formed by RT interface 2106,2107).
(LTE-connectivity) NRT arbitration entity 2108 can for example be realized by the software that is arranged in described telecommunication circuit 2104.For example, its uses (using from connectivity and LTE) application requirements and mixing from the contextual information of two kernels (for example from first transceiver 1014 and second transceiver 1018 both), for example frequency band, bandwidth, EARFCN(E-UTRA absolute RF channel number code), with to first transceiver 1014 and second transceiver 1018 arbitrations and indication static information such as the frequency band of selecting or the power level of selection.It also provides indication to the RT moderator 2111 that is arranged in LTE subsystem 2101.Should be pointed out that according to an aspect of the present disclosure, NRT arbitration entity 2108 is not arbitrated between WLAN and BT.This arbitration can for example be carried out in the WLAN/BT telecommunication circuit.
NRT application program (application) coexistence interface 2106 can be also the entity of realizing by means of the software of operation on telecommunication circuit 2104.It uses from connectivity application 2112 and the LTE of application processor 2105 operations the NRT message that application message is carried in 2113 transfers.Table 6 has provided by means of NRT application program coexistence interface 2106(and corresponding application interface 2109) list of the message that can exchange between application processor 2105 and telecommunication circuit 2104.
Figure 185305DEST_PATH_IMAGE006
NRT coexistence interface 2107 can be also the entity that is arranged in the SW realization of telecommunication circuit 2104.It shifts the NRT message carry contextual information and notice is sent to WLAN/BT telecommunication circuit (by means of the NRT coexistence interface 2110 of the correspondence of WLAN/BT telecommunication circuit) from NRT moderator 2108 from the WLAN/BT telecommunication circuit.Table 7 has provided the messaging list that the interface that can be for example forms by NRT coexistence interface 2110 interfaces by the NRT coexistence interface 2107 of telecommunication circuit 2104 and WLAN/BT telecommunication circuit 2102 exchanges.
Figure 264119DEST_PATH_IMAGE007
Should be pointed out that the mapping of LTE position can be changed (be limited to seven frame structures but for S content itself in addition more polygamy put).Should further point out, if eNodeB 103 takes some decision-makings about coexisting, above-mentioned NRT message also can partly or entirely be sent to eNodeB 103.
In addition, should be pointed out that according to platform architecture and use stack, the information in described telecommunication circuit 2104 and the division (split) between the information in WLAN/BT telecommunication circuit 2102 may change.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, NRT algorithm and the RT algorithm that coexists that coexists is coordinated.This is graphic extension in Figure 22.
Figure 22 shows flow chart 2200.
During in the interior variation of communication terminal 1000, the NRT coexistence mechanism is activated in 2202 when coexisting state in 2201.Then the message transmission sends to use the NRT arbitration decisions by the NRT coexistence interface.
Continuously, in 2203, estimate to arbitrate by the NRT of new application the sensitivity level of the connectivity RAT that reaches with precalculated RF interference table.If it is higher than the sensitivity target, the RT coexistence mechanism be activated 2204 and they move continuously in the mode of autonomy.If the sensitivity level is lower than the sensitivity target, in 2205, the RT coexistence mechanism is disabled.
When receiving renewal when (via SW message) or from LTE subsystem 2101 or from WLAN/BT telecommunication circuit 2102, NRT moderator 2108 can detect the variation of coexisting state on following meaning: for example, up to the present be not in critical band if be used for the frequency that LTE communicates by letter with CWS, it may become situation and the algorithm that coexists need to be activated now.
NRT moderator 2108 is to be responsible for activation or the entity of any algorithm that specifically coexists of stopping using, and always prepares from the input message of the variation of LTE or any relevant parameter of CWS reception indication.
The situation that coexisting state changes can for example comprise (except other):
The-the two RAT becomes activity;
-carry out the switching of arriving another LTE frequency band in LTE communication;
-modification LTE bandwidth;
The quantity of-movable RAT drops to 1.
As mentioned above, according to various aspects of the present disclosure, may there be the division (for example, with regard to interface) between RT and NRT.RT and NRT process can be by synchronously.The transmission of NRT message can be extended by the message transmission between communication terminal 105 and eNodeB 103.
The NRT coexistence mechanism
The NRT coexistence mechanism can be included in the hereinafter FDM/PC(frequency division multiplexing of the bluetooth of description/power control) algorithm.
The bluetooth medium access is based on the business scheduling of time slot (slot).Time slot is scheduled in time and the frequency that fixes.The time time slot is that 625 μ s are long, and is mapped on the wide BT channel of 1MHz.The frequency channels that is used for a given time slot is applied by frequency hopping pattern, changes from the time slot to the time slot to its pseudorandom.
The BT entity form of the communication terminal 1000 that uses bluetooth (for example, with) can or (bluetooth) main equipment or (bluetooth) from equipment.Bluetooth master provides the reference time and controls synchronous and movable as the piconet (this is control) of the mininet of the blue-tooth device around its.From equipment entity must the periodic monitoring medium to capture any control information from piconet master.Bluetooth is monitored all potential master transmissions (1,25 ms period) and reply it in next time slot whether received the grouping of sending to it from equipment in current time slots during time slot or time slot part.BT can use " economize on electricity (Sniff) pattern " to reduce power consumption and to avoid from equipment: principal and subordinate's transaction is only on the time slot that keeps (consulting before entering energy-saving mode).
According to bluetooth, carry the data of use and/or control data in two periodicity and/or asynchronous grouping.The grouping kind that is used for the data-oriented business depends on corresponding service profile (this is standardized).Service control is carried by asynchronous service.
BT can use " energy-saving mode " to reduce power consumption and to avoid from equipment: principal and subordinate's transaction is only on the time slot that keeps (consulting before entering energy-saving mode).
The target bluetooth profile may be for audio frequency (for example music) streamed A2DP with as the HFP of voice earphone configuration (profile).A2DP is the asynchronous service profile that uses variable-length packets (list-multi-slot), and HFP is the single time slot services of periodicity that shifts in the time slot of scheduling (reservation).Device also can be in the situation that carry out Bluetooth pairing without business.
Time slot can (by link manager) keep during link establishment.Modal grouping is HV3 grouping (being used for synchronous guiding (SCO) communication that connects), and it takies 1/3rd of two time slots.
Illustrate the example of multi-slot bluetooth service in Figure 23.
Figure 23 shows transmission diagram 2300.
In transmission diagram 2300, the time from left to right increases and is divided into the time time slot 2301 of 625 μ s.The first transmission 2302 carried out by main device and the second transmission 2303 by carrying out from device.
Bluetooth communication is applicable to frequency hopping.In communication, the frequency of operation channel changes from the time time slot to time time slot pseudorandom ground and carries out 79 available 1Mhz channels pseudorandom Walkthrough ISM frequency band 202.
Adaptive frequency saltus step (AFH) is that a kind of permission is restricted to the mechanism of the subset of 79 channels with this.Yet the quantity N of the channel of use must be not less than 20.The selection of channel mapping is fully flexibly, but by producing at the main equipment of carrying out on the basis of static state with from the negotiation between equipment.AFH can be disabled from equipment for dormancy.
Adaptive frequency saltus step mechanism can be used to get rid of the BT business from the LTE frequency band.This avoids for BT Tx impact (LTE-TDD situation) for protection LTE Rx is efficient especially, little in the opposite direction efficient, because BT front end (filter/low noise amplifier (LNA)) is the broadband.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, by utilize adaptive frequency saltus step mechanism to get off:
The-the first telecommunication circuit 1022 is carried out and is served as (this locality) BT core to second communication circuit 1024() static requests to revise its channel mapping;
-second communication circuit 1024 upgrades channel mapping and it is aimed at peer-entities (for example another communication terminal);
The bluetooth spectrum occupancy can be lowered down to 1/3rd of ISM frequency band 202.This provides up to the guard band of 60 Mhz and the guard band that provides up to 79 Mhz to LTE-7 UL frequency band 204 for LTE frequency band 40 201.Should be pointed out that the AFH that coexists for BT/LTE efficient may due to the fact that and limited: this BT RX front end receives Whole frequency band, even under AFH background (having in any case non-linear).
Can see that the impact that the use of this mechanism coexists on BT/WLAN is limited.
Hereinafter, describe for the protection of bluetooth to avoid the process of the LTE-FDD transmission impact in LTE frequency band 7 UL 204 with reference to Figure 24.
Figure 24 shows message flow chart 2400.
NRT algorithm corresponding to message flow chart 2400 can for example be undertaken by NRT arbitration unit 2108.
This message flow corresponding to the LTE subsystem 2401(of LTE subsystem 2101 for example occurs in, corresponding software), between NRT moderator 2402 and the BT telecommunication circuit 2403 corresponding to WLAN/BT telecommunication circuit 2102 corresponding to NRT moderator 2108.
In 2404, NRT moderator 2402 loads BT sensitivity target.
In 2405, NRT moderator 2402 sends to LTE subsystem 2401 to LTE information request message 2406 with the information of request about the LTE configuration.
In 2407, LTE subsystem 2401 produces the information about the LTE configuration, such as the LTE information table of the bandwidth that comprises the frequency band that uses, use, EARFCN, path loss nargin (through-put power of estimation descend and do not trigger modulation/bandwidth variation) etc.
In 2408, LTE subsystem 2401 sends to NRT moderator 2402 to the information that is produced with LTE validation of information message 2409.
In 2410, the information that 2042 storages of NRT moderator receive with LTE validation of information message 2409.
In 2411, NRT moderator 2402 sends to BT telecommunication circuit 2403 to AFH mapping request message 2412 with request AFH mapping.
In 2413, BT telecommunication circuit 2403 builds and comprises the AFH mapping that is excluded be used to the arrangement of the channel that coexists.
In 2414, BT telecommunication circuit 2403 sends to NRT moderator 2402 with the AFH mapping that produces with AFH mapping acknowledge message 2415.
In 2416, NRT moderator 2402 produces new AFH mapping.BT sensitivity level in this target.This generation for example can comprise following content:
1) calculate the Δ F(Whole frequency band of BT channel, the granularity that define)
2) use segregation table (precalculated for LTE under total power, static state), the relation of the BT channel (Whole frequency band) of assessment BT sensitivity and operation
3) the maximum quantity N of the BT channel of BT sensitivity target is satisfied in selection
4) if target can not realize or N<Nmin, use Nmin
5) if target can not realize, keep being applied to the eliminating that WLAN/BT coexists-〉 ignore
6) build new AFH mapping.
In 2417, NRT moderator 2402 uses the AFH of new AFH mapping that request message 2418 is set with request BT telecommunication circuit 2403 new AFH mapping is sent to BT telecommunication circuit 2403.
In 2419, BT telecommunication circuit 2403 is the renewal frequency hopping sequences therefore.
In 2420, BT telecommunication circuit 2403 arranges by means of AFH the use that acknowledge message 2421 is confirmed new AFH mapping.
In 2422, NRT moderator 2402 selects to satisfy the highest LTE TX(transmission of BT sensitivity target and LTE Tx path loss nargin) power.
Should be pointed out that this way may be dangerous for HIST (IOT).According to an aspect of the present disclosure, guarantee that it only is applied to the situation that coexists that is defined by AP.
In 2423, NRT moderator 2402 uses the power request message 2424 of determined Tx power that determined LTE Tx power is sent to LTE subsystem 2401 with request LTE subsystem 2401.
In 2425, therefore LTE subsystem 2401 uses Tx power.
In 2426, LTE subsystem 2401 is confirmed the use of Tx power by means of power acknowledge message 2427.
Suppose, in 2428, NRT moderator 2402 is recognized and is not more coexisted from now on and will be concerned about.
In 2429, NRT moderator 2402 sends to LTE subsystem 2401 cancelling power request message 2430, this in 2431 by means of being identified from the cancellation power acknowledge message 2432 of LTE subsystem 2401.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, the NRT coexistence mechanism is included in the FDM/PC algorithm that is used for WLAN of hereinafter describing.
The WLAN medium access is based on carrier sense medium access (CSMA), and wherein this medium is monitored and the access of competition acquisition to it when it is idle in the station.There is no scheduling of resource, there is no service period.Global synchronization is to be realized by the beacon of access point transmission via every about 102 ms, but effectively beacon transmissions may be delayed because medium takies.
WLAN MAC based in transmitter side based on the sure ACK of the ACK(that receives to retransmitting) packet error probability that calculates is via the adaptive radio channel condition that is adapted to of link rate.
At 2.4GHz frequency band (ISM frequency band), wlan system operates in and is called as CH#1 and only uses in Japan to CH#14(CH#14) 14 overlapping channels on.This is graphic extension in Figure 25.
Figure 25 shows frequency distribution diagram 2500.
In frequency distribution diagram 2500, frequency from left to right increases.Distribute to 14 overlapping channels of WLAN by semicircle 2501 graphic extensions.
WLAN typically operates at the BSS(Basic Service Set) in pattern.Ad-hoc mode also exists, but still seldom uses.Yet it may become useful under the smart mobile phone operating position.
In the BSS pattern, access point (AP) has the WLAN channel selection of operation and the control fully of mobile radio station (STA).Choose WLAN channel in the access point of static state.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, WLAN power is controlled for reducing the interference to LTE communication.
WLAN has the approximately peak power of 20 dBm, and for the power consumption reason, transmission is also shortened packet duration as far as possible to realize the highest possible PHY speed under total power usually.Yet the WLAN protocol stack does not prevent from using lower Tx power, does not define for the rule of selecting the power that uses yet.
If necessary, be embedded in second transceiver 1018(in communication terminal 1000 in this example as the WLAN transceiver operations) can independently reduce its Tx power:
If-communication terminal 1000 serves as the station that is connected to family's access point or focus by means of second transceiver 1018, this might trigger link rate adapted event with degradation PHY speed, this can cause higher packet duration and therefore cause longer interference from WLAN to LTE.According to an aspect of the present disclosure, the use that power is controlled is limited in this case.
If it is that network is shared (tethering) situation that-communication terminal 1000 serves as AP(by means of second transceiver 1018), as the communication terminal 1000(of access point (router) smart mobile phone for example) and the WLAN(of connection Wifi for example) distance between client (for example notebook computer) is under user's control and can makes it close.Then communication terminal 1000 can significantly reduce its WLAN Tx power and cover and related path loss with the lower BSS of balance.
Provide in table 8 for network and share comparison to the path loss of the estimation of focus.
Figure 699780DEST_PATH_IMAGE008
Provided focus and network 19 dB nargin between sharing as the rough estimate that provides in table 8, shown WLAN Tx power and can be lowered up to 19 dB, this is corresponding to 1 dBm.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, AP Tx power is gradually reduced and in the PER evolution monitored (the PER statistical value always is established in WLAN) at AP place.
In a word, WLAN power is controlled and can be caused that WLAN reduces to the 15-20 dB that LTE disturbs in the situation that network is shared.LTE disturbs the inhibition requirement can relax (requirement of WLAN sensitivity) to WLAN.This method may in the situation that with the TDM(time division multiplexing) solution coupling is not suitable for because Tx power reduces the Tx duration that may cause lower PHY speed and therefore increase.May exist power to control and the balance of high PHY speed between using.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, the WLAN channel is selected to be used to reduce WLAN/LTE and is disturbed.
At communication terminal 1000(as the WLAN entity) serve as AP(and for example be used for network and share) and operating position under, it can operate freely choose WLAN channel for it.Therefore, the WLAN business can be got rid of from the LTE operational frequency bands, therefore protects WLAN to avoid the LTE impact and protects LTE to avoid the WLAN impact.According to an aspect of the present disclosure, by the WLAN channel quality of WLAN AP perception, for example reflect by the channel occupancy of near focus or the AP of family, take in this process.
When selecting channel CH#3 to #14, the WLAN channel is selected to cause that WLAN is to LTE(LTE frequency band 40) 18 to the 42 dB inhibition disturbed.This mechanism is controlled the solution compatibility with the power that can use at the top.
When selecting channel CH#3 to #10, the WLAN channel is selected to cause LTE(LTE frequency band 40) 27 to the 77 dB inhibition disturbed to WLAN.
In a word, the selection of AP channel can
-make WLAN outside LTE frequency band 40 OOB(bands) inhibition reduction by 18 to 42 dB
-make LTE frequency band 40 to WLAN OOB suppress to reduce by 27 to 77 dB
-make LTE channel 7 UL-〉 WLAN OOB suppress to reduce by 19 to 49 dB.
This mechanism is not damaged throughput or the robustness of WLAN.
Should be pointed out that above-mentioned analysis only considers the OOB noise effect, therefore hypothesis has been avoided nonlinear effect by the RF system, such as the Signal Compression of reciprocal mixing.
Hereinafter, describe for the protection of WLAN to avoid the process of the LTE-FDD transmission impact in LTE frequency band 7 UL 204 with reference to Figure 26.

In 2613, WLAN telecommunication circuit 2603 builds the channel mapping of arranging.This arrangement can be based on the SINR(signal to noise ratio) and the WLAN/BT constraint.
In 2614, WLAN telecommunication circuit 2603 sends to NRT moderator 2602 with the channel mapping that produces with channel mapping acknowledge message 2615.
In 2615, the definite WLAN channel that will use of NRT moderator 2602.WLAN sensitivity level in this target.Should determine for example to comprise following content:
1) calculate the Δ F of each WLAN channel
2) use segregation table (calculating in advance for LTE, static state) under total power, assess the WLAN sensitivity of each WLAN channel
3) select to satisfy the WLAN channel of the highest arrangement of WLAN sensitivity target.
In 2617, NRT moderator 2602 uses the channel request message 2618 that arranges of the WLAN channel of determining that the indication of the WLAN channel of determining is sent to WLAN telecommunication circuit 2603 with request WLAN telecommunication circuit 2603.
In 2619, therefore WLAN telecommunication circuit 2603 moves to determined WLAN channel.
In 2620, WLAN telecommunication circuit 2603 is by means of the use that the channel acknowledge message 2621 determined WLAN channels of confirmation are set.
In 2622, the indication of NRT moderator 2602 storage WLAN channels.

In 2625, WLAN telecommunication circuit 2603 produces the information about the WLAN configuration, such as comprising the number of channel, MCS(modulation and encoding scheme), the WLAN information table of Tx power etc.
In 2626, WLAN telecommunication circuit 2603 sends to NRT moderator 2602 with the information that produces with WLAN validation of information message 2627.
In 2628, NRT moderator 2602 selects to satisfy the highest LTE TX(transmission of WLAN sensitivity target and LTE Tx path loss nargin) power.
This may comprise as follows:
1) the Δ F of the WLAN channel of calculating operation
2) use segregation table (precalculated for LTE under total power, static state), the WLAN sensitivity of the WLAN channel of evaluation operation
3) select to satisfy the highest LTE TX power of WLAN sensitivity target and LTE TX path loss nargin.
Should be pointed out that this way may be dangerous for HIST (IOT).According to an aspect of the present disclosure, guarantee that it only is applied to the situation that coexists that is defined by AP.
In 2629, NRT moderator 2602 uses the power request message 2630 of determined Tx power that determined LTE Tx power is sent to the LTE subsystem with request LTE subsystem 2601.
In 2631, therefore LTE subsystem 2601 uses Tx power.
In 2632, LTE subsystem 2601 is confirmed the use of Tx power by means of power acknowledge message 2633.
Suppose, in 2634, NRT moderator 2602 is recognized and is not more coexisted from now on and will be concerned about.
In 2635, NRT moderator 2602 sends to LTE subsystem 2601 cancelling power request message 2636, this in 2637 by means of being identified from the cancellation power acknowledge message 2638 of LTE subsystem 2601.
The above shown in table 7 under the background that NRT coexists can be for example by the NRT coexistence interface 2107 of telecommunication circuit 2104 and WLAN/BT telecommunication circuit 2102(for example as the operation of WLAN/BT baseband circuit) the cocommutative message of NRT interface that forms of NRT coexistence interface 2110.Provide in other example text below.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, the measurement clearance configuration under the LTE connection mode is used to LTE-WLAN and coexists.
Although under the LTE connection mode, measurement clearance is defined within the 3GPP standard so that single wireless electric moveable terminal, and (mobile terminal that namely only has a LTE transceiver is measured other frequencies (except the frequency of being used by Serving cell) pellucidly in the time of can not be under the LTE connection mode) can carry out following measurement:
1. operate LTE neighbor cell (inter-frequency measurements) on the frequency different from Serving cell
2. for example 2G or 3G of other RAT() neighbor cell (measuring between RAT).
Typically, when LTE was service RAT, these measurement clearance had the duration of 6 ms and periodically are scheduled with 40 ms or 80 ms.
If the frequency of using interference WLAN to communicate by letter carries out LTE communication and vice versa, measurement clearance can be used for safe WLAN reception and transmission:
If this gap is used to the LTE inter-frequency measurements, and if the frequency of LTE not with the WLAN frequency overlap
If the gap is used to 2G or 3G measures, because there be not may disturb between 2G/3G and ISM frequency band, the parallel WLAN/BT that is not used for limitedly can be measured with LTE in this gap.
In addition, in the LTE connection mode, for better closed subscriber group (CSG) residential quarter support, 3GPP the 9th version has been introduced the concept of so-called autonomous measurement clearance.Here reason is, for the CSG residential quarter, and the SIB(system information block) need to be read, this may require the extra measurement clearance asynchronous with the measurement clearance of dispatching with regular interval.If the measurement clearance that network support is autonomous allows mobile terminal to ignore some TTI, as long as this mobile terminal can at least 60 ACK/NAK of every 150 ms interval transmissions.The layer signaling of HARQ and Geng Gao guarantees that data can not lose.
For to any regular gap on the horizon of second transceiver 1018 prior notices, (interference to WLAN reception or transmission will not occur during this period) occurs, first transceiver 1014(for example, the LTE baseband circuit) can be to second transceiver 1018(CWS baseband circuit for example) send indication gap pattern together with the message of following information:
Measurement clearance pattern period (for example, 40/80 ms),
The measurement clearance duration (for example 6ms)
Be used for identifying the clear and definite method of the first measurement clearance generation of the measurement clearance pattern of considering.
This can be used for:
The inter-frequency measurements gap,
Measurement clearance between RAT,
Autonomous measurement clearance.
For example, this message from first transceiver 1014(for example can be, the LTE baseband circuit) send to for example CWS baseband circuit of described second transceiver 1018() indication periodically the gap pattern Periodic_Gap_Pattern_Config(periodically, duration, first the date occurs) message, and second transceiver 1018 can freely be carried out transmission and receive during each these gap.
First transceiver 1014(is the LTE baseband circuit for example) in be used for realize that the first transceiver 1014(that gap message indication is controlled from first processor for example realizes LTE protocol stack or LTE physical layer) to described second transceiver 1018(CWS baseband circuit for example) and the criterion of transmission and decision-making may belong to based on following situation can be at first transceiver 1014(LTE baseband circuit for example) non real-time (for example software) moderator 2108 entities of moving:
Whether frequency interferences occurs;
Have enough or there is no for example CWS baseband circuit of enough glitch-free, second transceiver 1018() can operate the time period during the place.
Think and satisfy when starting or stoping the criterion of using the gap and guaranteeing correct second transceiver 1018 function whenever non real-time (for example software) moderator 2108, message indication in gap can dynamically be enabled or forbid by non real-time (for example software) moderator 2108.
In a word; can protect WLAN to communicate by letter to avoid 7 UL 204 impacts of LTE frequency band; can protect Bluetooth communication to affect to avoid LTE frequency band 7 UL 204, and also can protect WLAN to communicate by letter to avoid 40 201 impacts of LTE frequency band and can protect Bluetooth communication to avoid 40 201 impacts of LTE frequency band.
PHY is alleviated
Frequency pilot sign in the OFDM symbol that disturbs is insignificant typically.As the worst situation, can see the situation of two continuous OFDM symbols of each LTE time slot loss.This means, each time slot of each antenna lacks a pilot tone (being for example between two for antenna 0 and 1, is between for antenna 2 and 3).Should be pointed out that antenna 0 and 1 only is correlated with for smart mobile phone.It keeps (for 1/2 antenna) worst case: lack a pilot tone for given carrier wave.
This may have following impact:
1) outer receiver can be influenced on AGC, noise estimation, channel estimating.
-these tasks are processed with the delay of the real-time indication that enough utilizes the WLAN interference burst,
-some filters Already in equalizer with compensation RS(reference signal) disappearance,
The indication of-WLAN interference burst can be used for corresponding RS(if any by outer receiver) be declared as and lack, then can use existing filter,
-this real-time indication can be included in the RT coexistence interface
In a word, outer receiver protection is avoided the short interference of WLAN and can be revised to complete by framework (as prerequisite, can complete that RT coexists and the realization of RT arbitration).
2) interior receiver:
-transmission block/code word/code block leak may be difficult to assessment; Code block length and channel condition are depended in impact at least:
O is in the situation that best, and by Turbo code recovery code block, making does not affect the LTE throughput
O in the worst case, (termly) affects code block in continuous HARQ retransmits similarly.This will mean, corresponding transmission block will never experience transmission.
Typically, expectation is to avoid the worst situation.In addition, what may expect is to prevent two continuous interference burst in identical LTE subframe.For example, this can complete by two of forbidding being separated by the HARQ period (for example 8 ms) in continuous interference WLAN burst.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, burr makes zero (spur nulling) can be for the problem above solving, and this can be counted as the frequency domain solution.For example supposition, burr do not make FFT saturated (therefore spreading on the full bandwidth in frequency domain): therefore can demarcate (dimension) to the WLAN/BT requirement of transmission spurious emissions.For example, the frequency domain burr detects and the frequency domain burr makes zero or the signal burr makes zero may be employed.
In a word, coexist indication (AGC, noise estimate and the channel estimating protection) and/or burr detection based on RT and the RS filtering of making zero is applied to coexisting.
Agreement is alleviated
In the LTE side, some protocol can be used for preventing LTE on communication media and the conflict between the WLAN/BT activity:
-when not having idle gap or when their quantity/duration need to be compared deficiency with WLAN/BT, some technology can be used for refusing some LTE subframes in protocol level, make them to be used by WLAN/BT.This is called as the LTE refusal.This technology may not rely on current 3GPP specification and can independently complete in the mobile terminal level.Yet they can partly be included in 3GPP the 11st release criteria (IDC job).
-in addition, in the time of in mobile terminal is in the switching scope, it can attempt to affect this eUTRAN preferentially to switch towards the residential quarter with the friendly carrier frequency that coexists.It also can attempt to postpone to switch towards the little friendly residential quarter that coexists.This is also referred to as the friendly switching that coexists.
LTE refuses to use UL to authorize and ignores or the SR(dispatch request) postpone and realizing.The friendly switching that coexists can realize via the intelligence report of neighbor cell measurements (value and/or timeline).
The above illustrates the impact that only depends on the LTE refusal for the WLAN on the full LTE-FDD that connects business support and bluetooth operating position in Figure 16 and Figure 17.This can be counted as the LTE-FDD side worst case and can be with the reference that acts on the enhancing that the coexistence mechanism that quantizes LTE-FDD provides.Make following hypothesis:
-systemic LTE refusal
-WLAN operates (29Mbps PHY speed worst case) with medium channel quality
It is invalid that-WLAN STA(namely shares network).
Table 9 and 10 further illustrates respectively the worst case impact of the bluetooth operating position on LTE-FDD and the worst case impact of the upper WLAN operating position of LTE-FDD (suppose support entirely, do not have LTE gap).In operating position and Figure 16 and Figure 17, graphic extension is identical.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, the LTE refusal is:
-independently refuse in the mobile terminal level use that LTE has wherein distributed the UL subframe of the communication resource.This goes for for example LTE frequency band 7 UL 204 of LTE-FDD() and LTE-TDD(LTE frequency band 40 201 for example),
-independently refuse in the mobile terminal level use that LTE has wherein distributed the DL subframe of the communication resource.This goes for for example LTE frequency band 40 201 of LTE-TDD().
Be noted that for UL refusal, can dispatch the cancellation of LTE activity/postponement; And for the DL refusal, permission TX activity in the CWS side may be enough.
Under the background that SR postpones, should be pointed out that LTE has been designed to solve the needs of mobile Internet access.Internet service can be by the high sudden sign with peak data rates and long silence period.In order to allow battery to save, LTE communication system (as shown in Figure 1) allows DRX.Introduce two kinds of DRX profiles being tackled by short DRX and long DRX respectively.Be up link for reverse link, in order to increase power system capacity, the LTE communication system allows discontinuous transmission (DTX).For uplink service, mobile terminal 105 is to eNB 103 its uplink buffer states of report, and then eNB 103 dispatches and assign block of uplink resources (RB) to mobile terminal 105.In the situation of empty buffer device, eNB 103 can not dispatch any uplink capacity, and UE 105 can not report its uplink buffer state in this case.In the situation that change in one of its up link formation, UE 105 sends so-called dispatch request (SR) can report its buffer state in scheduling uplink shared channel (PUSCH) subsequently in uplink buffer.
In order to prevent this from occurring, movable if the DTX period had before authorized to WLAN, mobile terminal 105 MAC layers may postpone SR.According to an aspect of the present disclosure, this mechanism can be used for LTE/WLAN and coexist.It is graphic extension in Figure 27.
Figure 27 shows transmission diagram 2700.
The LTE ul transmissions is along 2701 graphic extensions of very first time line, and the LTE downlink transmission is along the second timeline 2702 graphic extensions.Transmission for example occurs in mobile terminal 105 and serves between the base station 103 of mobile terminal 105.Time increases from left to right along timeline 2701,2702.
In this example, mobile terminal 105 receives the UL mandate in a TTI 2703.Described mobile terminal 105 is authorized in response to this UL by send the UL signal in the 2nd TTI 2704.At one time, mobile terminal 105 arranges its DRX inactive state timer.Suppose not have further UL mandate or DL transmission block (TB) to be scheduled (this will cause the DRX inactivity timer to be reset to the DRX inertia time), receive the ACK(undetermined of last UL transmission block of its transmissions at this mobile terminal 105 as by arrow 2705 graphic extensions) afterwards, DRX and DTX condition are met.At DRX with during the DTX period 2706, mobile terminal 105 do not need to monitor in PDCCH any downlink control channel and before DRX and the DTX periods 2706 finish eNB 103 scheduled mobile terminals 105 not.DRX and DTX period 2706 can be used for the WLAN transmission.
Mobile terminal 105 can will finish DRX and the upstream data of DTX period 2706 sends SR in the situation that its require to send some.In order to prevent this from occurring, mobile terminal MAC may suppress SR, if this period is used to disturb WLAN movable.
In the example of Figure 27, mobile terminal 105 receives UL and authorizes in a TTI 2703.Mobile terminal 105 is by after the 2nd a TTI 2704(4 TTI) in send the UL signal and meet this UL and authorize.Yet mobile terminal 105 can be ignored this UL mandate, therefore refuses the UL subframe that four TTI arrive later on, and this subframe therefore release is used for the WLAN/BT operation.The indication of use RT coexistence interface 1026(UL gap) indicate the subframe of these releases to CWS chip 1024.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, use the LTE refusal with HARQ protection.This describes hereinafter.
In LTE-WLAN/BT coexists, may require the use of LTE refusal to discharge the LTE subframe to be used for Connection service (rejection LTE sub-frame allocation).In the time of in being used in UL, LTE refusal can be seen as corresponding to prevent that LTE transceiver 1014 from transmitting in it has the subframe of the communication resource of some distribution.In this case, can consider that the characteristic of LTE HARQ mechanism: HARQ is MAC layer retransmission mechanism, it is synchronous and take 8 ms period as cycles (UL situation, it is asynchronous in DL).
In LTE-FDD UL, HARQ is synchronous and supports maximum eight processes.Therefore the potential re-transmission of the grouping of initial transmission occurs in subframe N+8 * K in subframe N, wherein K 〉=1.Therefore, the impact of LTE on transmission channel refusal is may difference very large, and this depends on mutual with LTE HARQ.For example, the periodicity LTE refusal that has a 8ms period may affect single HARQ process each repeat attempt and may cause the link loss.The refusal period is example graphic extension in Figure 28 of 12ms.
Figure 28 shows transmission diagram 2800.
Along very first time line 2801, indicated UL subframe refusal and TTI to the distribution of HARQ process (numbering 0 to 7).In this example, there is the LTE refusal of rule, makes process 0 and process 4 by regular (every two times) refusal.
Every eight LTE refusal of the periodicity LTE refusal of period 9ms only affects identical HARQ process once.
Even do not considering that the periodicity refusal in HARQ behavior situation may also have highly negative impact for the refusal of low amount: this may cause weak link (best situation) or HARQ failure (the worst situation).Weak link may cause the resource of eNodeB link circuit self-adapting, reduction to be distributed, and HARQ unsuccessfully may or cause loss of data (RLC under Unacknowledged Mode) or the RLC that causes having corresponding time-delay retransmits.
What expect is to avoid using the LTE refusal period that HARQ is had such negative effect.Yet the requirement of LTE refusal may come the application/codec of comfortable connectivity (CWS) side, and many codecs have periodically requirement.Hereinafter, be used for the mechanism of intelligent LTE refusal, make periodicity LTE refusal can support the requirement of application/decoder, its impact on the HARQ process of simultaneous minimization, or avoid periodically LTE refusal when using.
For example, can take following provisions in refusing to minimize impact on HARQ using LTE
-burst refusal: when access does not have strict the requirement to periodic dielectric when applications/codec (for example in the situation that the HTTP business of being undertaken by WLAN), unaccepted subframe is counted with the continuous refusal (namely distributing to the TTI refusal of same HARQ process) that minimizes given HARQ process by (according to the burst of Time Continuous subframe) in groups together.For example, the duration affects each HARQ process at most once lower than the rare burst of 8ms.Therefore, it might be alleviated fully by HARQ.
-intelligence refusal: when the burst refusal can not be employed, produce the refusal pattern, periodically requirement is guaranteed in its impact that minimizes on HARQ simultaneously.This pattern is designed to maximize the time interval between the continuous refusal (cancellation) of the subframe of carrying given HARQ process:
O the method is optimum with regard to LTE link robustness protection (protection of HARQ process)
O is satisfied (carrying out the LTE refusal with the average required period on whole LTE refusal pattern) to periodic requirement on average.This pattern comprises the periods between two LTE refusals of change.
O avoids having the underflow/overflow of the codec of cyclic behaviour.
The general modfel generation algorithm that is used for intelligent LTE refusal can be for example as follows:
Require:
O P: time slot request (take ms as unit)
O N: the duration requires (take ms as unit)
O W:HARQ length of window (being 8 ms for UL)
Algorithm:
O searches P1<=P, makes
[(MOD(P1, W) 〉=N) or (MOD(P1, W)=W-N)]
And
(MOD(P1, W)+N) is even number
If o (P1=P)
Use continuously P
Otherwise
Use K1 and multiply by P1, wherein K1=W-abs(P-P1)
Use K2 and multiply by P1+W, wherein K2=P-P1.
The simple realization example of this algorithm is described below here:
o?P1?=?P-abs(MOD(P,W)-N)
o?P2?=?P1?+?W
o?K1?=?W-(P-P1)
o?K2?=?P-P1。
Illustrate an example in Figure 28.Along the second timeline 2802, indicated UL subframe refusal and TTI to the distribution of HARQ process, wherein the period between the LTE refusal is determined according to top algorithm.In this case, LTE refusal pattern period P1 is applied in K1 doubly and P2 is applied in K2 doubly.Just as can be seen, avoided periodically refusing to distribute to the TTI of same HARQ process.
Should be pointed out that this pattern generating algorithm independently is applicable in mobile terminal 105.It also may be applicable to 3GPP the 11st revision ID C, and the possibility that determines LTE gap establishment in the eNodeB level wherein is being discussed.In this case, it may be optimum may requiring definition and those angles from robustness described above of LTE refusal pattern.
Hereinafter, describe a kind of for the upper voice of intelligent VoLTE(LTE)-mechanism that BT HFP coexists.
Under this operating position, mobile terminal 105 is assumed to be via BT and is connected to earphone and audio call passes through LTE(VoLTE) receive or dial.Further this mobile terminal 105 of hypothesis serves as main BT device (in other words, the BT entity in mobile terminal 105 is assumed that and has master role).If situation is not so, can send BT role's switch command.
Bluetooth communication is organized in piconet, and wherein single main equipment is controlled at the traffic assignments on the long time time slot of 625 μ s.This is graphic extension in Figure 29.
Figure 29 shows transmission diagram.
Transmission diagram has solved by main device, first from device (from equipment 1) and the second transmission (TX) and reception (RX) from device (from equipment 2).Main equipment has transmission opportunity on the even number time slot, and can be only in odd number time slot transmission (based on the distribution that comes autonomous device) from equipment.Monitor all potential master transmissions from the every 1.25ms of equipment, unless they are in the relaxed park mode of this constraint (monitor, suspend Holdover mode).
Connect for earphone, the BT entity is paired and be in low-power consumption mode (for example, business of every 50 to 500 ms exchanges) typically.When calling out beginning, the BT entity switches to has very frequently periodically that eSCO(extends the synchronous guiding that connects) or SCO(synchronously connect guiding) the HFP profile (hands-free profile) of business.This is graphic extension in Figure 30.
Figure 30 shows transmission diagram 3001,3002.
The first transmission diagram 3001 illustrates main equipment (M) and from the eSCO between equipment (S) communication and the second transmission diagram 3002 illustrates main equipment and communicate by letter from the SCO between equipment.
Typically, as graphic extension in Figure 30, for HFP, eSCO arranges to have eight time slot periods, and wherein two continuous time time slots are exclusively used in main equipment and follow by retransmission opportunity from device transmission; And SCO arranges and to have six time slot periods, and wherein two continuous time time slots are exclusively used in main equipment and from device transmission four free timeslots subsequently, and there is no retransmission opportunity.
Therefore in case should be pointed out that BT equipment is paired, just created piconet and BT system clock and time slot counter are opened.For example, then determine the odd and even number time slot.Therefore, it may be impossible making the trial of Bluetooth system clock synchronous with respect to the LTE system clock after piconet is set up, and does not also define the odd and even number time slot.Should also be noted that term TTI refers to LTE TTI(1ms in this article) and Ts refers to the BT time time slot duration (0.625 ms).
The protection of BT eSCO is described hereinafter.This be applicable to wherein bluetooth entity (for example being realized by second transceiver 1018) using the HFP profile with carry with the eSCO business from/go to the situation of the voice of earphone.
Figure 31 shows transmission diagram 3100.
Top timeline 3101 represents the VoLTE business (1ms grid) in aerial LTE-FDD UL.HARQ process and 8ms period synchronization and sound coder had for 20 ms periods.
Subframe with T and RTn label retransmits (on the meaning that HARQ retransmits) corresponding to the initial transmission of VoLTE subframe and corresponding to its n.The original subframe of VoLTE by the first hachure 3103 graphic extensions and potential re-transmission by the second hachure 3104 graphic extensions.
Bottom timeline 3102 shows from the angle of main equipment and the bluetooth HFP business of dividing into groups based on eSCO.BT time slot with second hachure 3104 retransmits corresponding to the potential BT according to the eSCO service definition.
Due to traffic performance (period and duration), use the MAC protocol synchronization and can allow efficiently coexisting between VoLTE and BT HFP operation.Two different balances are possible: wherein only protect BT-HFP-eSCO initially to receive to avoid the first balance of LTE UL interference, and time slot reception the second balance both of wherein protecting the initial reception of BT-HFP-eSCO and retransmitting.
Can protect under the following conditions by BT affects to avoid the LTE re-transmission from the reception of the original packet of device transmission:
-protection is to avoid T
Mod (D 0, 5TTI) 〉=TTI – Ts or mod (D 0, 5TTI)<=5TTI – 2 Ts
-protection is to avoid RT1
Mod (D 0, 5TTI)<=3TTI – 2 Ts or mod (D 0, 5TTI) 〉=4TTI – Ts
-protection is to avoid RT2
Mod (D 0, 5TTI)<=TTI – 2 Ts or mod (D 0, 5TTI) 〉=2TTI – Ts
-protection is to avoid RT3
Mod (D 0, 5TTI)<=4TTI – 2Ts or mod (D 0, 5TTI) 〉=5 TTI – Ts.
Can protect under the following conditions by BT affects to avoid the LTE re-transmission from the reception of the grouping of equipment re-transmission:
-protection is to avoid T
Mod (D 0, 5TTI) 〉=4TTI or mod (D 0, 5TTI)<=3TTI – Ts
-protection is to avoid RT1
Mod (D 0, 5TTI)<=TTI – Ts or mod (D 0, 5TTI) 〉=2TTI
-protection is to avoid RT2
Mod (D 0, 5TTI)<=4TTI – Ts or mod (D 0, 5TTI) 〉=0
-protection is to avoid RT3
Mod (D 0, 5TTI)<=2TTI – Ts or mod (D 0, 5TTI) 〉=3 TTI.
As the first method that is used for VoLTE and BT eSCO and coexists, can protect BT avoiding LTE TX, ReTx1, ReTx2, ReTX3(namely protect the first transmission of grouping and first three to retransmit) affect, and protect without the BT retry.
In this case, protection BT initial packet exchange (1TX time slot+1 RX time slot) is to avoid the impact of LTE UL transmission, as long as LTE does not retransmit four times continuously for same HARQ process.BT retransmits (if having words) and may be disturbed by LTE UL transmission.This may be delayed D with respect to the initial subframe transmission of LTE by requiring BT main equipment initial packet transmission 0And realize 2TTI-Ts<=mod (D wherein 0, 5TTI)<=3 TTI – 2 Ts, for example 1375 μ s<=mod (D 0, 5ms)<=1750 μ s.An example shown in Figure 32.
Figure 32 shows transmission diagram 3200.
Top timeline 3201 represents the VoLTE business in LTE-FDD UL.Subframe with T and RTn label retransmits (on the meaning that HARQ retransmits) corresponding to the initial transmission of VoLTE subframe and corresponding to its n.The original subframe of VoLTE by the first hachure 3103 graphic extensions and potential re-transmission by the second hachure 3104 graphic extensions.
Bottom timeline 3102 shows from the angle of main equipment and the bluetooth HFP business of dividing into groups based on eSCO.BT time slot with second hachure 3104 retransmits corresponding to the potential BT according to the eSCO service definition.
As the second method that is used for VoLTE and BT eSCO and coexists, can protect BT and BT to repeat (being the BT packet retransmissions present) and namely avoid transmitted in packets and grouping the first packet retransmissions present to avoid LTE TX and ReTx1() impact.In this case, protection BT initial packet exchange (1TX time slot+1 RX time slot) and potential first retransmits to avoid the impact of LTE UL transmission, as long as the LTE system does not retransmit twice continuously for same HARQ process.If the LTE system retransmits more than twice, some BT transmission/retransmitting may be disturbed.This may be delayed D with respect to the initial subframe transmission of LTE by requiring BT main equipment initial packet transmission 1And realize D wherein 1=TTI – Ts.For example, mod (D 1, 5ms)=375 us repeat to protect to avoid the impact of LTE T and RT1 for eSCO and eSCO.This transmission plan is corresponding to the transmission plan shown in Figure 31.
As the third method that is used for VoLTE and BT eSCO and coexists, can protect BT to avoid LTE TX, ReTx1.Do not protect the BT retry.
In this case, protection BT initial packet exchange (1TX time slot+1 RX time slot) is to avoid the impact of LTE UL transmission, as long as LTE does not retransmit twice continuously for same HARQ process.If LTE retransmits more than twice, some BT transmission/retransmitting may be disturbed.
This may be delayed D with respect to the initial subframe transmission of LTE by requiring BT main equipment initial packet transmission 0And realize TTI-Ts<=mod (D wherein 3, 5 TTI)<=3 TTI – 2 Ts.For example, 375 μ s<=mod (D 3, 5ms)<=1625 us are used for eSCO and protect to avoid LTE T and RT1 impact.This transmission plan is corresponding to the transmission plan shown in Figure 31.
As another kind of method, can following protection BT SCO.According to bluetooth, the HFP profile may be used to by the SCO business carry from/go to the voice of earphone, it takies communication media time of 1/3 and does not have retransmission capabilities.Provided an example in Figure 33.
Figure 33 shows transmission diagram 3300.
Top timeline 3301 represents the VoLTE business in LTE-FDD UL.Subframe with T and RTn label retransmits (on the meaning that HARQ retransmits) corresponding to the initial transmission of VoLTE subframe and corresponding to its n.The original subframe of VoLTE by the first hachure 3103 graphic extensions and potential re-transmission by the second hachure 3104 graphic extensions.
Bottom timeline 3102 shows from the angle of main equipment and the bluetooth HFP business of dividing into groups based on SCO.
The BT packet switching (1TX time slot+1 RX time slot) of protection 2/3rds is to avoid the impact of LTE UL transmission.Retransmit if some LTE occur, it might disturb some more BT time slots.This can be by with the realization of getting off: require BT to begin to be delayed between TTI-Ts and TTI with respect to LTE activity subframe and TTI – Ts<=mod (D 2, 6 Ts)<=TTI.For example, 375 μ s<=mod (D 2, 3.75ms)<=1ms is used for the operational minimum LTE VoLTE of SCO to be disturbed.If D 2Not in this scope, 2/3rds SCO grouping may be disturbed by the transmission of VoLTE subframe.
In a word, the delay between above-identified VoLTE Tx and BT main equipment Tx or delay scope (this may be regarded as optimum) provide the Min-conflicts possibility between the transmission of VoLTE subframe and BT HFP grouping reception.Draw and the delay requirement that the eSCO grouping is used or SCO grouping use is corresponding that is used for BT HFP profile.
The use of eSCO grouping may be expected, because it coexists more much better for the VoLTE traffic patterns.If use SCO, 1/3rd BT grouping is owing to losing with conflicting of VoLTE UL subframe, and it can not be solved by the LTE refusal of this frame because it on the impact of call quality with worse (20 ms losses are than 5 ms losses).
In the middle of this external eSCO solution, the third method may expect, because:
-it is enough to protect BT initially to receive fully
It is quite loose (2 * BT T time slot) that-its delay requires; This can in the situation that during calling out LTE switch and to utilize.
Possible concept can be as follows:
A) call out setting
1) complete the BT pairing that typically occurs in before the VoLTE call setup, and without any the concrete constraint that coexists.
2) when setting up the LTE calling, the information of the subframe (based on SPS) of periodically distributing is transferred into the BT that adds in NRT message is transmitted.For example, it can be used by 5 to 10 ms after the SPS pattern is employed.
3) then the BT main equipment is resolved SPS Indication message (period, duration, side-play amount) and is used LTE frame sync RT signal as reference synchronization.
4) when setting up the eSCO/SCO business, the BT main equipment distributes the BT time slot, and the delay that described BT time slot satisfies about the VoLTE transmission requires (this is always possible, postpones to be the 2xT time slot with regard to the third method).
B) LTE switches.
When carrying out the switching from the first residential quarter to the second residential quarter during VoLTE calls out as LTE, the LTE system clock in described the first residential quarter may be different from the LTE system clock in described the second residential quarter (or second sector) on phase place.It can be also different that SPS distributes.Therefore, the delay between BT and VoLTE traffic patterns may no longer be satisfied:
1) then switching and new SPS distribution can offer BT via the transmission of NRT message
2) the BT main equipment can change the BT time time slot allocation of eSCO business in order to again satisfy delay requirement (only always possible for the third above-mentioned method).
Should be pointed out that because the life period stamp is not machine-processed, may not guarantee still that BT can the SPS indication from the transmission of NRT message directly draw the VoLTE subframe position.If not, the BT entity can detect them via monitor LTE UL gap envelope (RT interface) with the SPS period information.Because it is synchronous to need by this way several VoLTE cycles to obtain VoLTE, so in case BT may carry out eSCO scheduling blindly and reschedule having identified the VoLTE subframe and just rescheduling it when starting.
Can see that this mechanism is optimized for the VoLTE with 20ms period, but it can be used for any LTE business based on SPS.Only postponing requirement may be adapted.
In a word, coexist for the LTE-WLAN/BT under the background of alleviating in agreement, can provide/carry out following content:
-friendly switching coexists
-SR postpones
-ignore UL to authorize
-LTE refusal is controlled (utilizing the algorithm of the monitoring of packet error probability)
-minimize LTE refusal on LTE HARQ and therefore on the impact of LTE link robustness the algorithm of correspondence (for example, by)
-minimize BT HFP business to the impact of VoLTE business.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, provide a kind of radio communications set, as graphic extension in Figure 34.
