According to sending point of the present invention device 700, can also comprise: CPU (Central Processing Unit, central processing unit) 710, it carries out relative program to process various data, and controls the operation of each unit of sending point device 700; ROM (Read Only Memory, read-only memory) 713, its storage CPU710 carries out various processing and controls required various programs; RAM (Random Access Memory, random access memory) 715, its storage CPU710 interim intermediate data producing in the process of processing and controlling; And/or I/O (Input/Output, I/O) unit 717, it inputs or outputs various programs, data etc.Above-mentioned random seed generation unit 701, initialization unit 702, scrambling unit 703, sending and receiving unit 704, CPU710, ROM713, RAM715 and/or I/O unit 717 etc. can interconnect and at signal transmission each other via data and/or command line 720.
Each unit as above does not limit the scope of the invention.According to an embodiment of the present invention, in above-mentioned random seed generation unit 701, initialization unit 702, scrambling unit 703 and sending and receiving unit 704, the function of any one also can be implemented by functional software in conjunction with above-mentioned CPU710, ROM713, RAM715 and/or I/O unit 717 etc.
The action of the initialization unit 702 in sending point device 700, scrambling unit 703 and sending and receiving unit 704 is well known to those skilled in the art, and therefore for fear of obscuring mutually with original creation part of the present invention, description is omitted herein.Below the operation of the random seed generation unit 701 to sending point device 700 is elaborated.
Above-mentioned random seed generation unit 701, when generating the random seed of the scramble sequence that is used for initialization RS signal, is not to use sending point ID as shown in equation (1), but based on UE special I D.Here, this UE special I D can be IMSI(International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number, international mobile subscriber identification number) etc. global UE specific identity number.Or, in the time of can being also the UE such as c-RNTI (Cell_Radio Network Temporary Identifier, Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier/Identity, Cell-RNTI) access LTE network, distribute to the UE special I D of UE.
As an example, equation (2) generates the scramble sequence of RS signal is carried out to initialized random seed based on c-RNTI for as follows.
Wherein, c
initrepresent the random seed generating, n
srepresent timeslot number, n_RNTI is the parameter defining in 3GPP TS36.213, represents UE special I D.It should be noted that parameter " c_RNTI " means the subset of a plurality of different RNTI " n_RNTI ", in most cases " n_RNTI " is " c_RNTI ".Like this, random seed generation unit 701 can pass through equation (2) generation random seed.
Known for generating the above-mentioned equation (1) of DMRS random seed in the equation (2) of contrast in present embodiment and version 10, the parameter c ell_id in equation (1) is not included in equation (2).Like this, under the JT scene shown in Fig. 4 and non-CoMP scene, the conflicting requirement about DMRS random seed is resolved by use equation (2).Particularly, under JT scene, adjacent sending point (community) all use UE special I D generate DMRS random seed and and then generate scramble sequence, even thereby they when thering is different sending point ID, also there is identical DMRS.Under non-CoMP scene, different UEs has different UE special I D, these different UE special I D are used for generating DMRS random seed also and then generate scramble sequence, even if thereby also there is different DMRS when thering is identical sending point ID, like this, the overlapping DMRS of adjacent sending point has different scramble sequence, with the ICI to potential, carries out randomization.
Fig. 8 means according to the block diagram of the UE of first embodiment of the invention.The UE800 of first embodiment of the invention is for communicating at communication system and sending point device.UE800 receives RS signal from sending point device, and above-mentioned RS signal is assigned to the precalculated position (Radio Resource, i.e. subcarrier, subframe equal time and/or frequency resource) of at least one deck Resource Block with identical time resource and frequency resource.As shown in Figure 8, UE800 can comprise sending and receiving unit 801 and demodulating unit 802.801Cong sending point, sending and receiving unit device receives Resource Block.Demodulating unit 802 detects Resource Block to obtain RS signal in time domain and/or frequency domain, and these signals are by scramble sequence scrambling, and above-mentioned scramble sequence is carried out initialization by the random seed generating based on UE special I D.
As above, about as described in sending point device 700, can for example generate, for the scramble sequence of RS signal (DMRS) is carried out to initialized random seed by the UE special I D such as c-RNTI based on shown in equation (2).That is,, according to present embodiment, can generate random seed according to equation (2).It should be noted that equation (2) is only example, UE special I D is not limited to c-RNTI, can also be other UE special I D unlisted in IMSI or the present invention.
UE800 of the present invention can also comprise: CPU (Central Processing Unit, central processing unit) 810, and it carries out the operation of relative program to process various data and to control each unit of UE800; ROM (Read Only Memory, read-only memory) 813, its storage CPU810 carries out various processing and controls required various programs; RAM (Random Access Memory, random access memory) 815, its storage CPU810 interim intermediate data producing in the process of processing and controlling; And/or I/O unit 817, it inputs or outputs various programs, data etc.Above-mentioned sending and receiving unit 801, demodulating unit 802, CPU810, ROM813, RAM815 and/or I/O unit 817 etc. can interconnect and at signal transmission each other via data and/or command line 820.
Each unit as above does not limit the scope of the invention.According to an embodiment of the present invention, in above-mentioned sending and receiving unit 801 and demodulating unit 802, the function of any one also can be implemented by functional software in conjunction with above-mentioned CPU810, ROM813, RAM815 and/or I/O unit 817 etc.
According to present embodiment, by generating for the scramble sequence of RS signal is carried out to initialized random seed based on UE special I D, the problem requiring about the contradiction of DMRS random seed under JT scene shown in Fig. 4 and non-CoMP scene is resolved,, under JT scene, guarantee the identical DMRS from a plurality of sending points, and under non-CoMP scene, guaranteed the different DMRS from adjacent sending point.
(the second execution mode)
Contrast the equation (1) generating for DMRS random seed in the equation (2) that proposes in the first execution mode and version 10 known, the random seed generating according to equation (2) likely clashes with the random seed generating according to equation (1), because the scope of the parameter n_RNTI in equation (2) is 0~216-1.The UE of version 10 is distributed to the random seed generating according to equation (1) in consideration, and will according to the random seed of equation (2) generation, distribute to the situation of the UE of version 11, if distributed the UE of the version 10 of the random seed generating according to equation (1) to coexist with having distributed the UE of the version 11 of the random seed generating according to equation (2), this conflict can cause problem.
In order to solve above-mentioned collision problem, equation (3) provides an example to the improvement of the equation in the first execution mode (2) as follows.
Wherein, Max=Maxim_value (cell_id), Max represents the maximum of sending point ID, identical with equation (2) of parameter c init, ns and n_RNTI.
This equation (3) and equation (1) are easily found, due to the maximum of the parameter Max in equation (3) corresponding to cell_id, thus Max>=cell_id, therefore, 2*Max+1>=2cell_id+1, like this,
and then the parameter S CID in equation (1) is generally set as 0 or 1, so SCID<2.Thereby,
therefore, certainly, the random seed generating according to equation (3) is greater than the DMRS random seed of the version 10 generating according to equation (1) all the time.By using random seed to generate equation (3), above-mentioned random seed collision problem can be resolved.It should be noted that equation (3) is only an example to the improvement of equation (2), the solution of above-mentioned random seed collision problem is not limited to this.For example, the constant " 2 " in equation (3) is critical value, can be replaced into the Arbitrary Digit that is greater than 2.Therefore,, according to present embodiment, for example, for example, for sending point device (700) or UE (800), can generate random seed according to equation (3).
According to present embodiment, by the special-purpose random seed of the UE to the second execution mode, generating equation (2) improves, can avoid conflicting between the special-purpose random seed of UE and version 10 random seeds, under the JT scene shown in Fig. 4 and non-CoMP scene, the problem about the contradiction requirement of DMRS random seed is also resolved simultaneously.
(the 3rd execution mode)
As mentioned above, receiving terminal can help UE to estimate to disturb in MU-MIMO operation to the blind Detecting of DMRS.But if use equation (2) or (3) to generate DMRS random seed, UE possibly cannot carry out blind Detecting, because the candidate of the random seed of UE special use is too much in this case, or blind Detecting space is excessive.For example, because the value of n_RNTI in above-mentioned equation (2) and equation (3) has 216 kinds of candidates, so have 216 kinds of candidates according to the random seed of equation (2) or (3) generation, consequently, the dimension of DMRS generates the situation of Fig. 6 of equation (1) far away more than the DMRS random seed that uses version 10.In the situation that the dimension of DMRS is too much, be difficult to carry out the blind Detecting of DMRS.
Another problem of equation (2) and equation (3) is the orthogonality between the DMRS port of MU-MIMO.As shown in Figure 5, the in the situation that of MU-MIMO, having two UE is UE1 and UE2.Suppose UE1 to distribute DMRS port 7 (OCC[1,1]), UE2 is distributed to DMRS port 8 (OCC[1 ,-1]), and UE1 and UE2 set by the special-purpose random seed of UE generating according to equation (2) or (3).Therefore, as shown in Figure 9, two different sequences are become respectively the DMRS port (port 7 and 8) of two quadratures by scrambling.Fig. 9 means that an example carried out the schematic diagram of multiplexing MU-MIMO DMRS.In Fig. 9, corresponding to OCC[1,1] port 7 is by scramble sequence [A1, B1 ... ] scrambling, and corresponding to OCC[1 ,-1] port 8 by scramble sequence [C1, D1 ... ] scrambling.Two scramble sequence are carried out initialization by two different random seeds respectively, and these two different random seeds generate according to above-mentioned equation (2) or (3) based on each UE special I D.Here, if (A1*) C1+ (B1*) D1=0 or [A1, B1] ⊥ [C1, D1], the orthogonality between two DMRS ports is destroyed.Therefore, the in the situation that of this MU-MIMO, in order to maintain the DMRS orthogonality between MU UE, for example, if the DMRS port (port 7 and port 8) that two MU UE have been distributed to quadrature needs them to use identical scramble sequence.
Above with reference to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, illustrated under the design of the DMRS of version 10 random seed and can carry out blind Detecting, under the circumstances, the basic thought of present embodiment is to switch at the DMRS random seed of the version 10 generating according to equation (1) and between according to the special-purpose DMRS random seed of the UE of equation (3) generation, thereby solves the above-mentioned two problems running into while generating DMRS random seed based on UE special I D.Particularly, when UE carries out MU-MIMO operation, system is used according to the random seed generation equation (1) of version 10 DMRS random seed that generate, version 10 and is set UE, otherwise, use the special-purpose random seed of the UE generating according to equation (3) to set UE.
The advantage of carrying out this switching is: when UE carries out MU operation, by using the random seed of version 10, can carry out blind Detecting, and maintain the orthogonality between UE; When UE does not carry out MU operation, conflicting requirement when the special-purpose random seed of UE can meet JT and non-CoMP operation.
Figure 10 means according to the block diagram of the sending point device of third embodiment of the invention.The sending point device 1000 of third embodiment of the invention is for communicating with UE in communication system.Same with the sending point device 700 of the first execution mode, device 1000 couples of UE in sending point send RS signal, above-mentioned RS signal is assigned to the precalculated position (Radio Resource, i.e. subcarrier, subframe equal time and/or frequency resource) of at least one deck Resource Block with identical time resource and frequency resource.As shown in figure 10, sending point device 1000 can comprise selected cell 1001, initialization unit 1002, scrambling unit 1003 and sending and receiving unit 1004.Selected cell 1001 is selected random seed from the first random seed generating based on sending point ID and the second random seed generating based on UE special I D.The random seed that initialization unit 1002 is selected by selected cell 1001 carries out initialization to scramble sequence.Scrambling unit 1003 uses have been carried out initialized scramble sequence signal have been carried out to scrambling in initialization unit 1002.1004 pairs of sending and receiving unit UE sends Resource Block, and this Resource Block has the signal that has carried out scrambling in scrambling unit 1003.It is noted that the RS signal here can be the RS signal such as any kind of DMRS etc.
According to sending point of the present invention device 1000, can also comprise CPU1010, ROM1013, RAM1015 and/or I/O unit 1017, the sending point device 700 of these key elements and the first execution mode identical.For brevity, omit the explanation of the function of these key elements here.In addition, above-mentioned selected cell 1001, initialization unit 1002, scrambling unit 1003, sending and receiving unit 1004, CPU1010, ROM1013, RAM1015 and/or I/O unit 1017 etc. also can interconnect and at signal transmission each other via data and/or command line 1020.
Each unit as above does not limit the scope of the invention.According to an embodiment of the present invention, in above-mentioned selected cell 1001, initialization unit 1002, scrambling unit 1003 and sending and receiving unit 1004, the function of any one also can be implemented by functional software in conjunction with above-mentioned CPU1010, ROM1013, RAM1015 and/or I/O unit 1017 etc.
According to present embodiment, UE shown in Fig. 8 also can receive Resource Block and obtain signal from sending point device 1000, this signal carries out scrambling by having carried out initialized scramble sequence by random seed, and this random seed is selected to obtain from the first random seed generating based on sending point ID and the second random seed generating based on UE special I D.
In order to realize the DMRS random seed of version 10 and the switching between the special-purpose DMRS random seed of UE, should be useful on the signaling of UE being notified to this switching.A simple method is in existing PHY (physics) signaling, to increase by 1 bit signalling mark for switching.It should be noted that and notify the method for this switching to be not limited to said method to UE.
According to present embodiment, although not shown in Figure 10, sending point device 1000 can also comprise notification unit, by increasing by 1 bit signalling as switch flag, and the switching (selection) between notifying user equipment the first random seed and the second random seed.The first random seed can generate according to equation (1).The second random seed is different from the first random seed.The second random seed can generate according to equation (3).
According to present embodiment, although not shown in Fig. 8, the all right receipt message in sending and receiving unit 802 in subscriber equipment 800, this message is used as 1 bit signalling of switch flag, indicate the selection of the first random seed and the second random seed, wherein, the first random seed can generate according to equation (1), the second random seed is different from the first random seed, and the second random seed can generate according to equation (3).
According to present embodiment, by switching between the DMRS random seed at version 10 and the special-purpose DMRS random seed of UE, when operating, MU can carry out blind Detecting, and can maintain the orthogonality between UE, on the other hand, when non-MU operation, the problem that the contradiction in the time of also can solving JT and non-CoMP operation requires.
Stress the how selection to the DMRS random seed of UE notification version 10 and the special-purpose DMRS random seed of UE below.
That Figure 11 represents to define in TS36.212, for the table of the DMRS port to UE notification version 10 and DMRS random seed.As shown in figure 11, this table is divided into two parts, and left part is corresponding to the situation of 1 code word, and right side part is corresponding to the situation of 2 code words.In left part (situation of 1 code word), left hurdle provides 8 values 0~7 in 1 code word, and right hurdle represents the message of these value representations.Except be worth 7 be retained, other 7 values 0~6 represent respectively the various combination of DMRS port and DMRS random seed.Particularly, be worth 1 layer of transmission that port 7 is used in 0 expression, and SCID=0; Value 1 represents to use 1 layer of transmission of port 7, and SCID=1; Value 2 represents to use 1 layer of transmission of port 8, and SCID=0; Value 3 represents to use 1 layer of transmission of port 8, and SCID=1; Value 4 represents to use 2 layers of transmission of port 7~8, and SCID=0; Value 5 represents to use 3 layers of transmission of port 7~9, and SCID=0; Value 6 represents to use 4 layers of transmission of port 7~10, and SCID=0.
The right side part of the table in Figure 11 (situations of 2 code words) is similar with left part.That is, 8 values 0~7 in 2 code words represent respectively 8 kinds of various combinations of DMRS port and DMRS random seed.Particularly, be worth 2 layers of transmission that port 7~8 is used in 0 expression, and SCID=0; Value 1 represents to use 2 layers of transmission of port 7~8, and SCID=1; Value 2 represents to use 3 layers of transmission of port 7~9, and SCID=0; Value 3 represents to use 4 layers of transmission of port 7~10, and SCID=0; Value 4 represents to use 5 layers of transmission of port 7~11, and SCID=0; Value 5 represents to use 6 layers of transmission of port 7~12, and SCID=0; Value 6 represents to use 7 layers of transmission of port 7~13, and SCID=0; Value 7 represents to use 8 layers of transmission of port 7~14, and SCID=0.
In PHY signaling, by wave point, send different values.UE receives different values, and according to the table of Figure 11, explains the implication of these values.
Known according to Figure 11, in most of the cases SCID equals 0, corresponding to the situation of the value 0,2 in the left part of 1 code word and 4~6 with corresponding to the value 0 in the right side part of 2 code words and 2~7 situation, expect accordingly the hint signaling that SCID can select UE notice random seed with work.Figure 12 illustrates the table to the selection of UE notification version 10 random seeds and the special-purpose random seed of UE according to present embodiment.In Figure 12, in two kinds of situations of 1 code word and 2 code words, all use the message of 8 value representation versions 11.
Known by the contrast table of Figure 12 and the table of Figure 11, " SCID=0 " in Figure 11 is replaced by " the special-purpose seed of UE " (the special-purpose random seed of UE) in the message of version 11 in Figure 12, and " SCID=1 " in Figure 11 is replaced by " version 10 seeds (SCID=0) " (version 10 random seeds) in Figure 12.Here, " version 10 seeds (SCID=0) " represent following equation (4), and this equation obtains by SCID being set as to 0 in equation (1).
Wherein, parameter
be equivalent to the parameter c ell_id in equation (1), represent the value of sending point ID." the special-purpose seed of UE " in Figure 12 refers to the random seed generating according to equation (3) based on UE special I D." SCID " in the table of table use Figure 11 shown in table 12 is as hint signaling, with the selection to the random seed of UE notification version 10 and the special-purpose random seed of UE.That is, when the SCID in Figure 11 is 0, represent to select the special-purpose random seed of UE, when the SCID in Figure 11 is 1, represent version 10 random seeds that selective basis equation (4) generates.
Like this, according to present embodiment, by using SCID as switch flag, can be in the situation that do not increase the signaling mark of 1 bit, the switching (selection) by existing PHY signaling to UE notification version 10 random seeds and the special-purpose random seed of UE.
It should be noted that the table shown in Figure 12 is only an example.Easily understand, after " value " in the table of Figure 12 and the relation between " message " are rearranged, can obtain and former identical effect.But after rearranging, " SCID " cannot be interpreted as switch flag.
The DMRS random seed that it should be noted that version 10 has two kinds of candidates, i.e. SCID=0 (equation (4)) and SCID=1.But in the table of Figure 12, when being switched to the DMRS random seed of version 10 (version 10 seeds), only maintained the situation of SCID=0.Known with reference to figure 6, if now can carry out blind Detecting,, according to the only situation of SCID=0 and the combination of two OCC ([1,1] and [1 ,-1]), the dimension of blind Detecting only has 2.Yet in fact version 10 supports the blind Detecting of 4 dimensions.
In the present embodiment, in order to overcome the above-mentioned restriction of the blind Detecting dimension in the table of Figure 12, can revise the table (table of Figure 11) defining in TS36.212, rather than introduce the new bit of the switch flag for UE notice RS random seed is switched.
Present embodiment starts from the analysis of the table to Figure 12.First can find that the value 7 in 1 code word situation is retentions.Secondly, port 7 (OCC[1,1]) and port 8 (OCC[1 ,-1]) all can be supported UE special use random seed.In addition, in non-MU operation, the in the situation that of (comprising JT operation and non-CoMP operation), described in execution mode 1 and 2, use the special-purpose random seed of UE can obtain required effect, and in the situation that MU operates, DMRS random seed is switched to version 10 random seeds.Therefore can reach a conclusion, use the special-purpose random seed of UE to set and can obtain required effect the one in port 7 and 8.
Based on above-mentioned analysis, the basic thought of present embodiment is as follows.1) the DMRS random seed of 1 layer of transmission is identical with the DMRS random seed in version 10 under MU scene; 2) utilize the retention 7 in the table of existing signaling of Figure 11; 3), under non-MU scene, use the special-purpose random seed of UE to set the one in port 7 or port 8 (but not to port 7 and port 8 both sides).Figure 13 illustrates another table to the switching (selection) of UE notification version 10 random seeds and the special-purpose random seed of UE according to present embodiment.Table shown in Figure 13 is the improvement to the table shown in Figure 12.In the present embodiment, the only left part of the table in Figure 12 (situation of 1 code word) is modified, and right side part (situations of 2 code words) remains unchanged, and therefore for brevity, amended left part is only shown in Figure 13.
In Figure 13, in the situation that MU operates, version 10 random seeds are common version 10 random seeds that generate according to equation (1).That is, identical corresponding to the message corresponding to value 0~3 in the message of value 0~3 and the table of Figure 11.Like this, guaranteed the blind Detecting of 4 dimensions.Identical corresponding to the message corresponding to value 4~6 in the message of value 4~6 and the table of Figure 12 in Figure 13, wherein the special-purpose random seed of UE is the random seed generating according to equation (3).The value 7 being retained in Figure 11 and Figure 12 represents to use 1 layer of transmission of port 7 and the situation of the special-purpose seed of UE in Figure 12.Owing to having used retention, and in sending, order 1 use the special-purpose random seed of UE only to set a port (for example port 7), so can maintain common version 10 random seeds in the table shown in Figure 13.Here, the value of it is noted that 7 also can represent to use 1 layer of transmission of port 8 and the situation of the special-purpose seed of UE.
According to present embodiment, MU blind Detecting space is identical with the MU blind Detecting space in version 10, meanwhile, need not introduce new signaling bit and come UE notice DMRS random seed to switch.
The table that it is noted that Figure 13 is only an example, after " value " in this table and the relation between " message " are rearranged, can obtain the effect identical with above-mentioned effect.In addition, those skilled in the art are to be understood that, in the order 1 of MU scene sends, use the special-purpose random seed of UE to set a port (port 7 or port 8) and can obtain required effect, in this meaning, can only maintain value " 0 " in the table of Figure 12 or the one in " 2 ".Particularly, the in the situation that of the value of maintaining 0, by use value 1~3 and 7, can represent respectively 4 kinds of combinations of 1 layer of different port in transmission and different version 10 random seeds.Similarly, the in the situation that of the value of maintaining 2, by use value 0,1,3 and 7, can represent respectively 4 kinds of combinations of 1 layer of different port in transmission and different version 10 random seeds.
Above-mentioned example is all paid close attention to the situation of the DMRS of downgoing line.In fact, in the situation of the DMRS of uplink, also produce similar problem.For example, in UL (uplink, the uplink) DMRS in PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, physical uplink Line sharing channel) situation, scramble sequence is carried out initialization by the random seed based on sending point ID.If adjacent sending point has identical sending point ID, between adjacent sending point, the DMRS of PUSCH may phase mutual interference.In the case, use the special-purpose random seed of UE based on UE special I D such as n_RNTI, be better than using the special-purpose random seed in sending point based on for example sending point ID.
According to present embodiment, uplink RS signal can carry out initialized scramble sequence by the random seed by generating based on UE special I D and carry out scrambling.
According to present embodiment, uplink RS signal also can carry out scrambling by having carried out initialized scramble sequence by random seed, and this random seed is selected to obtain from the first random seed generating based on sending point special I D and the second random seed generating based on UE special I D.
RS (for example DMRS) design is all paid close attention in above-mentioned explanation.In fact, scrambling is also applicable to data channel and control channel, data channel is PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel for example, physical down Line sharing channel) or PUSCH, control channel is PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel for example, physical down circuit control channel) or PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel, physical uplink circuit control channel).Use has been carried out by random seed the potential ICI that initialized scramble sequence carries out between scrambling ,Yi Dui community or sending point data or control channel and has been carried out randomization.Random seed also includes sending point ID in generating.Thereby if neighbor cell or sending point have different sending point ID, JT operation will run into problem as above.In the case, using the special-purpose random seed of UE based on UE special I D to carry out initialization to scramble sequence is also a solution.
According to present embodiment, for example, for example, for sending point device (700,1000) or UE (800), signal can be the one in the control signal of RS, control channel and the data-signal of data channel., according to present embodiment, signal (any one in the control signal of control channel or the data-signal of data channel) can carry out scrambling by having carried out initialized scramble sequence by random seed, this random seed generates based on UE special I D, or according to present embodiment, signal (any one in the control signal of control channel or the data-signal of data channel) can also carry out scrambling by having carried out initialized scramble sequence by random seed, this random seed is selected to obtain from the first random seed generating based on sending point special I D and the second random seed generating based on UE special I D.
In LTE (version 8,9) and senior LTE (version 10), CRS (the Control Reference Signal of the RS of downgoing line control channel (PDCCH) based on for demodulation, control reference signal), and CRS is not by precoding, is sending point special use.Yet at version 11 or more in highest version, by utilizing DMRS to call reference signal as solution, PDCCH is enhanced to E-PDCCH (Enhanced PDCCH strengthens PDCCH).In the case, above-mentioned idea also can be applicable to the DMRS based on E-PDCCH as follows.1) can generate DMRS random seed based on UE special I D; 2) can for example, between the special-purpose random seed of UE and the special-purpose random seed in sending point (version 10 random seeds), switch DMRS random seed.
Except above-mentioned reason, another advantage of the DMRS random seed based on UE special I D generation E-PDCCH is as follows.When UE detects E-PDCCH, because E-PDCCH is control channel, so the unclear possible DMRS of UE sets.Like this, if E-PDCCH is used the DMRS random seed of version 10, which in " supposition " its use SCID=0 or SCID=1 UE at least need.Yet if E-PDCCH is used the special-purpose DMRS random seed of UE, UE knows DMRS random seed when detecting E-PDCCH, because the UE special I D such as c-RNTI have distributed to UE when this stage.
(the 4th execution mode)
The above-mentioned first to the 3rd execution mode all uses the random seed generating based on UE special I D to carry out initialization to the scramble sequence for scrambled signals.Yet, it is noted that the ID that generates random seed is not limited to UE special I D.Can also generate random seed based on group ID (also can be called general ID).Group ID refers to that the group of UE can share an ID, and these are different as the situation of random seed with use UE special I D.As an example, equation (5) generates the scramble sequence of signal is carried out to initialized random seed based on group ID for as follows.
Wherein, cinit represents random seed, and ns represents timeslot number, and group_id represents to organize ID.
Contrast equation (5) and equation (1) are known, and the difference of two equatioies is that the cell_id in equation (1) is replaced by the group_id in equation (5), and does not comprise SCID in equation (5).Equation (1) in the situation that, UE for example, learns cell_id by the mode (broadcast channel) of sending point special use.Similarly, equation (5) in the situation that, can distribute group_id by sending point device, and the signaling that passes through UE special use is to UE.
By using group_id, by sending point, UE is distributed respectively to identical or different group_id, can meet the requirement of random seed, different random seed when the identical random seed while operating comprising the JT shown in Fig. 4 and non-CoMP operation.
But in MU operation, the UE of the UE of version 11 and version 10 can coexist sometimes.In the case, if the UE of version 11 is used the random seed generating by equation (5), the UE of version 10 cannot carry out blind Detecting under the MU of the UE of version 11 disturbs.In order to address this problem, the thought of above-mentioned the 3rd execution mode also can be for present embodiment.That is,, in the situation that MU operates, use version 10 random seeds that generate by equation (1) based on sending point ID to carry out initialization to the scramble sequence for scrambled signals.In other cases, for example, when JT operation and non-CoMP operate, use the random seed generating by equation (5).

According to present embodiment, by the special-purpose random seed in sending point, with the random seed of the special-purpose random seed of UE or the group ID generation that distributes based on sending point between switch, when operating, MU can carry out blind Detecting, and can maintain the orthogonality between UE, on the other hand, when non-MU operation, the problem that the contradiction in the time of also can solving JT and non-CoMP operation requires.
(the 7th execution mode)
Described in the 4th above execution mode, by use group ID, generate random seed, the random seed in the JT operation shown in Fig. 4 and non-CoMP operation requires also can be met.But, with situation (in the case, D is known to UE for the UE special I) difference that generates DMRS seed with UE special I D, with group ID generate the DMRS kind period of the day from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m need to be to UE side group of notifications ID.Present embodiment focuses on how to UE group of notifications ID.
When use group ID generates DMRS random seed, need to determine following two problems.
1), in order to tackle the different scenes (CoMP, non-CoMP, MU scene) that illustrate in background technology part, need how many group ID; And
2) how UE notice will be used to which group ID, that is, be to use high-level signaling or use physical layer signaling.
For problem 1), solution because of different scenes different.Particularly, if under CoMP or non-CoMP scene use group ID, organize on a large scale ID and help avoid the ICI being caused by DMRS.On the other hand, if in MU operation use group ID, group ID among a small circle contributes to carry out MU blind Detecting.
For problem 2), solution is also because the scene of use group ID is different.Particularly, if UE is positioned at the border of sending point (community) and switching fast between CoMP and non-CoMP state, needs fast setting group ID (high-level signaling cannot be followed the tracks of this switching), thereby need physical layer signaling.When being positioned at the center of sending point (community) and switching fast, UE can there is same situation between MU and non-MU state.But if UE is from sending point, the center of (community) moves to edge and need to reset DMRS random seed, uses high-level signaling can obtain required effect.
As can be seen here, different according to the concrete condition of use group ID, no matter be to organize on a large scale ID or group ID among a small circle, high-level signaling or physical layer signaling, can both meet the demand of some scene.If use all the time group ID and physical layer signaling on a large scale, mean a large amount of wastes.Therefore, key is the group ID of How to choose OK range and the method that is set UE.
In present embodiment, propose to solve this problem by combination high-level signaling and physical layer signaling.What propose comprises following two steps for UE being set to the method for (transmission) group ID.
1) by high-level signaling, UE is set to (transmission) group ID table.Wherein, this table comprises the operable available set ID of UE.All scopes of group ID can be larger, but the subset in all groups ID space can set and send UE to network side.
2) after UE is set to (transmission) group ID table, use physical layer signaling will use which the group ID in this group ID table to UE notice.
The basic thought of present embodiment shown in Figure 16.Figure 16 means the schematic diagram of setting according to the group ID of present embodiment.Three macrocells (grand sending point) 1~3 shown in Figure 16.In macrocell 1, carry out MU operation, and to have 1 and 4 UE of eNB (base station) be UE1~4.In macrocell 2, carry out JT (CoMP) operation, and having eNB2,2 LPN (Low Power Node, low power nodes) is LPN1~2 and UE5, and wherein eNB2, LPN1 and LPN2 have different sending point (community) ID respectively.In macrocell 3, carry out non-CoMP operation, and to have eNB3,4 LPN be that LPN1~4 and 3 UE are UE6~8, wherein eNB3, LPN1, LPN2, LPN3 and LPN4 all have identical sending point (community) ID.Here, eNB or LPN also can be called sending point (device).
For these three macrocells of carrying out three kinds of different types of operations, network side distributes (transmission) different group ID table by high-level signaling to the UE in different macrocells respectively.As shown in figure 16, each group ID table comprises two parts, i.e. " index " and " information ", represents respectively the group ID that index and the UE corresponding with index can use.
Particularly, as shown in figure 16, UE1~4 in macrocell 1 are set the group ID table in this figure left side, comprise two index 0,1 and the group ID corresponding with them and organize ID1 and group ID2 in this table.As described above with reference to Figure 6,2 random seeds of UE1~4 that MU operation is lower can meet the requirement of MU blind Detecting, so 2 available group ID can obtain required effect in the situation that of macrocell 1.
The in the situation that of macrocell 2, eNB2, LPN1, LPN2 have different sending point (community) ID respectively, and the different DMRS random seeds that therefore the different sending point ID based on them generate cannot meet the random seed requirement of the JT operation illustrating in background technology part.Therefore, the ID of use group here generates DMRS random seed to meet this requirement.Particularly, UE5 is set the group ID table of these figure central authorities, comprises three index 0,1,2 and the group ID corresponding with them and organize ID3, group ID4 and group ID5 in this table.It is noted that owing to there are three sending points in macrocell 2, i.e. eNB2 and LPN1~2, so provide three available group ID.
The in the situation that of macrocell 3, eNB3, LPN1, LPN2, LPN3 and LPN4 all have identical sending point (community) ID, and the identical DMRS random seed that therefore the identical sending point ID based on them generates cannot meet the random seed requirement of the non-CoMP operation illustrating in background technology part.Therefore, the ID of use group here generates DMRS random seed to meet this requirement.Particularly, UE6~8 are set the group ID table on this figure right side, comprise five index 0~4 and group ID6~10 corresponding with them in this table.Here, owing to there are five sending points in macrocell 3, i.e. eNB3 and LPN1~4, so provide five available group ID.
As mentioned above, the group ID table that UE is set can comprise the group ID of the maximum quantity that UE likely uses, and these groups ID is the subset of all organizing ID space.As shown in figure 16, all organize ID space and can comprise a large amount of groups of ID, for example, organize ID1 to organizing ID N.But, the limited amount of the group ID in the group ID table that UE is set.Like this, for each UE, only there is index among a small circle to meet the demands.
When UE having been set to group ID table from network side by high-level signaling, sending point device (eNB) is used physical layer signaling to use which the group ID in this group ID table to UE notice, or notifies " index " that be used in this group ID table to UE.Particularly, for example, the in the situation that of macrocell 1, by the notice of eNB1, the DMRS of UE1 and UE3 carries out scrambling by having carried out initialized scramble sequence by random seed, this random seed is organized ID1 based on index 0 and is generated, the DMRS of UE2 and UE4 carries out scrambling by having carried out initialized scramble sequence by random seed, and this random seed is organized ID2 based on index 1 and generated.
The in the situation that of macrocell 2, although comprise three available group ID in the group ID that UE5 is set table, organize ID3~5, in fact these three available group ID may not can be all used.For example, in the situation that carry out JT operation by different sending points, as described above with reference to Figure 4, one of available group ID in the group ID table based on setting generates identical random seed.Therefore, for example, as shown in figure 16, by physical layer signaling, from eNB2 and LPN2, UE5 is notified, based on index 0, organize the identical random seed that ID3 generates eNB2 and LPN2.
Macrocell 3 is then described.As described in reference to Fig. 4, the in the situation that of carrying out non-CoMP operation in adjacent sending point, for fear of the ICI being caused by DMRS, require the different DMRS random seeds based on ID does not generate on the same group.Therefore, as shown in figure 16, in respectively to the operation of the adjacent sending point eNB3 of two phase mutual interference of UE7 and UE6 transmitted signal and LPN2, from eNB3, by physical layer signaling, UE7 is notified, the random seed of eNB3 is organized ID8 based on index 2 and is generated, from LPN2, by physical layer signaling, UE6 is notified, the random seed of LPN2 is organized ID6 based on index 0 and is generated.Similarly, in respectively to the operation of the adjacent sending point eNB3 of two phase mutual interference of UE7 and UE8 transmitted signal and LPN4, also from LPN4, by physical layer signaling, UE8 is notified, the random seed of LPN4 is organized ID10 based on index 4 and is generated.
It is noted that and in a macrocell, likely have different types of operation simultaneously.For example, as shown in the macrocell 3 of Figure 16, two sending point LPN2 and LPN1 are UE6 transmitted signal to identical UE, and this is the situation of JT operation.Therefore, the DMRS of LPN1 should be identical with the DMRS of LPN2, thereby UE6 is notified by physical layer signaling from LPN1, and the random seed of LPN1 is organized ID6 (identical with LPN2) based on index 0 and generated.
In Figure 16, each macrocell has been assigned with the different subsets of group ID, and this is a kind of plain mode to sending point (community) assign group ID.But the invention is not restricted to this, the group ID that distributes to different sending points (community) also can repeat.
According to present embodiment, sending point device (for example 700) can also comprise notification unit (not shown), this notification unit is notified UE by physical layer signaling, which by high-level signaling, to the group ID in the group ID table of UE setting (transmission), will be used, wherein organizing ID table is the subset of all organizing ID space, comprises the group ID that UE can use.Correspondingly, the group ID of the random seed generation unit of sending point device (for example 701) based on notified generates random seed.
According to present embodiment, UE (for example 800) can also utilize its sending and receiving unit (for example 801) to receive physical layer signaling from sending point device, this physical layer signaling is notified UE, which by high-level signaling, to the group ID in the group ID table of UE setting (transmission), will be used, wherein organizing ID table is the subset of all organizing ID space, comprises the group ID that UE can use.
By using the group ID illustrating in present embodiment to show, system has the flexibility of reply different situations.In some cases, for example, when UE need to switch fast between different DMRS random seeds, can use physical layer signaling; In some other situation, for example, when UE is when from sending point, the center of (community) moves to edge, system can be that UE resets group ID and shows by high-level signaling.Owing to can group ID table being reset, so each group ID table can comprise the group ID of limited quantity, this means that while using physical layer signaling to which the group ID in UE group of notifications ID table will be used, signaling consumption is not too large.
(the 8th execution mode)
By combining high-level signaling and physical layer signaling with to UE setting group ID, can provide flexibility to meet the different requirements about DMRS random seed, however, how to determine that the problem in the blind Detecting space of UE is not resolved yet.A kind of simple method is that UE regards the group ID table of setting by high-level signaling as blind Detecting space (UE supposes that all groups of ID in this table likely produce and disturb it).But the quantity of the group ID comprising in group ID table likely changes, for example, as shown in figure 16, the group ID table that macrocell 1~3 is set comprises respectively 2,3 and 5 available group ID.And when design blind tester, UE need to tackle maximum blind Detecting space, and the random seed of the maximum quantity of interference likely occurs.Therefore, regard whole group of ID table as the method in blind Detecting space will reduce performance or the reliability of blind Detecting.As in background technology part with reference to as described in Fig. 6, in version 10, blind Detecting space is limited to only 2 random seeds.
Therefore, the solution of present embodiment is that the physical layer signaling described in the 7th execution mode comprises following two parts.
Part I: will be for this UE to which the group ID in UE group of notifications ID table;
Part II: which the group ID during UE group of notifications ID is shown is by other UE for this UE generation is disturbed.
In the case, the blind Detecting space of UE consists of the group ID notifying by part I and the group ID that notifies by part II.Therefore, in the blind Detecting space of the part I by physical layer signaling and part II notice, carry out the blind Detecting of UE side.
By using physical layer signaling to UE notice blind Detecting space, can limit the blind Detecting space of UE, and be not whole group of ID table.
(the 9th execution mode)
In the 8th execution mode, from by high-level signaling, UE being set the group ID table of (transmission), the group ID for this UE notifying by part I and the group ID for other UE notifying by part II have been selected.In other words, part I is identical with the candidate set ID of part II, is all the group ID in the group ID table setting.
But, in fact, for part II, other UE are arranged in the UE (situation of MU) of identical sending point (community) with this UE, or be arranged in the UE of different sending points (community) from this UE, that is, according to circumstances different, the candidate set ID of part I and part II may be identical, also may be different.For example, in the situation that a plurality of UE are MU near being positioned at the center of sending point (community), these UE can switch fast between MU and SU state, thereby part I is identical with the candidate set ID of part II, are all to the group ID in the group ID table of UE setting (transmission) by high-level signaling.On the other hand, when UE moves to the edge of sending point (community), other UE are probably arranged in adjacent sending point (community), thereby the candidate set ID of part II is likely the group ID in the group ID table that adjacent sending point (community) set.In the case, part I is different with the candidate set ID of part II.
Based on above-mentioned analysis, in present embodiment, propose, by RRC (Radio Resource Control, Radio Resource is controlled) contour level signaling, UE is set to (transmission) structuring group ID table.Particularly, the structuring group ID table of UE being set by high-level signaling can comprise two set, for example, gather 1 and set 2.Wherein, for the group ID of the DMRS random seed of UE, from gathering 1, select, the part I of above-mentioned physical layer signaling is included in set 1; And select with set 2 from gathering 1 for this UE being produced to the group ID of the DMRS random seed of other UE that disturb, the part II of physical layer signaling is included in set 1 and gathers in 2.
Figure 17 illustrates an example and the structuring group ID of UE setting is shown by high-level signaling according to present embodiment.A specific example shown in Figure 17.In this structuring group ID table, for example, gather 1 and comprise respectively two group ID with set 2.Particularly, gathering the 1 group ID that comprises two index 0,1 and correspondence is id0 and id1, and gathering the 2 group ID that comprise two index 2,3 and correspondence is id2 and id3.As an example, gather 1 for local sending point (community), gather 2 for generation of the sending point (community) of disturbing.That is, the id0 and the id1 that gather in 1 are two group ID that the UE in local sending point can use, and the id2 and the id3 that gather in 2 produce two group ID that the UE in the sending point of disturbing can use.
Therefore, the in the situation that of MU (for example, be positioned near the center of local sending point), by the part I of physical layer signaling and the group ID of part II notice, all from the set 1 of structuring group ID table, select, because the UE that UE self and generation are disturbed (other UE that disturb occurring with UE) is arranged in local sending point.On the other hand, when UE moves to the edge of local sending point, the group ID notifying by part I still selects from gathering 1, but the group ID notifying by part II selects from gathering 2, because produce the UE disturbing, be probably arranged in the sending point (for example sending point adjacent with the local sending point at UE self place) that produces interference.
As mentioned above, from the set 1 of structuring group ID table that UE is set, select by the group ID of the part I notice of physical layer signaling all the time, and from gathering 1 or gather the group ID that in the one 2, selection is notified by part II.Therefore, in this case, in physical layer signaling, part I and part II only need respectively 1 bit.Other expenses are indications for the group ID that selects to notify by part II, gather 1 and gather 1 bit signalling of the switching between 2, generally when UE moves, produce this signaling, therefore can frequently not send.
When not using this structuring group ID table, in the situation that there is altogether 4 candidate set ID, part I and part II need respectively 2 bits.Therefore, use the structuring group ID table of UE being set to (transmission) by high-level signaling, can reduce by 50% physical layer signaling expense.
Although each set of the structuring group ID by high-level signaling, UE being set in present embodiment table comprises two available group ID, but the invention is not restricted to this, and method of the present invention can expand to carries out multiplexing situation to the signal of multilayer, that is each set of the structuring group ID table of, by high-level signaling, UE being set can comprise a plurality of available group ID of multilayer signal.
In next execution mode, the example with detailed is further illustrated to how to design the corresponding physical layer signaling with structuring group ID table.
(the tenth execution mode)
In the above-described 3rd embodiment, show and how to re-use the table shown in the Figure 11 defining in TS36.212, to UE notice DMRS port and DMRS random seed.In present embodiment, can redesign similar method, to process the above-mentioned structuring group ID table of (transmission) of UE being set by high-level signaling.Particularly, physical layer signaling can comprise following three parts.
Part I: to UE notice from gathering which group ID of selecting 1 by the DMRS for this UE;
Part II: to UE notice from gathering 1 or gather which group ID of selecting 2 by for this UE being produced to other UE that disturb; And
Part III: UE notice, as disturbing the set 1 in random seed space (interference group ID space) and gathering the switching between 2, is selected to the group ID being notified by part II from this interference random seed space.
Figure 18 represents according to the table of the part I for physical layer signaling of present embodiment.For part I, the table shown in Figure 11 can redesign as the table shown in Figure 18.For brevity, the situation with 1 code word of 1 layer after multiplexing is only shown in Figure 18, but the invention is not restricted to this.As shown in figure 18, for 0~4, two row of identical value " message, version 10 " and " message, version 11 ", represent respectively the corresponding combination of DMRS port in version 10 and version 11 and random seed.Particularly, in version 11, be worth identical in corresponding DMRS port and version 10 with these, for the group ID (being index) of DMRS random seed, can be represented by the SCID of version 10.Therefore, without the new bit for to UE notice DMRS random seed.Here, " index " in the structuring group ID table of the expression of " index " in the table of Figure 18 Figure 17.
For part II, need to newly append 1 bit, with UE is notified in structuring group ID shown in Figure 17 table with for disturbing the accurate index that the group ID of UE (other UE of interference occurring with UE) is corresponding.
Figure 19 represents according to the table of the part III for physical layer signaling of present embodiment.For part III, the table shown in Figure 11 can be redesigned for the table shown in Figure 19.Particularly, the value of the former reservation in version 10 " 7 " now again as the switching signal that represents the switching in interference random seed space (interference group ID space), for example, represents the set 1 in the structuring group ID table shown in Figure 17 and gathers the switching between 1.
Easily understand, part I and part III all for example, notify UE by existing L1 signaling (, existing DCI form 2C), therefore, when UE is sent to physical layer signaling, only can be to the one in UE notification section I and part III by existing L1 signaling.Ensuing problem is, when the sending point devices such as eNB send retention (" 7 ") to UE, UE to be used to which DMRS random seed and which DMRS port.In order to address this problem, can be set as follows rule in the case.
1) now use the bit newly append in UE indication set 1 (i.e. part II not, but part I), for the group ID of the DMRS random seed of UE;
2) determine that UE is used port 7 (OCC[1,1]) or port 8 (OCC[1 ,-1]); And
3) now the blind Detecting space of UE set 1 in.
Figure 20 A and 20B mean UE from the center of sending point, move to Shi, sending point, edge as the 9th execution mode and the tenth execution mode defined, use the schematic diagram of the complete example of the situation that high-level signaling and physical layer signaling set UE.
,You Liangge community (sending point) 1~2 (eNB1 and eNB2) as shown in FIG. 20 A.In sending point 1, while supposing moment T1, UE1 and UE2 are in MU operation, and therefore, now UE2 is the interference UE of UE1.Then, constantly during T2 UE1 from sending point, 1 center moves to edge.Subsequently, during moment T3, UE1 arrives the edge of sending point 1, and now the UE3 in sending point 2 becomes the UE that produces interference with UE1.
In this embodiment, by RRC contour level signaling, UE1 being set to the structuring group ID shown in this figure left side shows.The structuring group ID table of UE1 comprises " ”He“ interfered cell, Serving cell " two set, and the title of these two set has suitably showed their content, and they equal in fact above-mentioned set 1 and set 2.Particularly, set " Serving cell " comprises two available group ID of UE1, and this set is the subset of all organizing ID space, is assigned to the UE in sending point 1, works as the Serving cell (sending point) of UE1 in this sending point 1.Set " interfered cell " comprises two the available group ID of for example, UE in the interfered cell (sending point) (being sending point 2 in this example) to UE1, and this set is also the subset of all organizing ID space.Easily find out in this example, the id0 in " Serving cell " and id1 are the group ID that UE1 and UE2 can use, and id2 and id3 are the group ID that UE3 can use.
Similarly, also by RRC contour level signaling, UE3 being set to the structuring group ID shown in this figure right side shows.Different from UE1, for UE3, its Serving cell (sending point) is sending point 2, its interfered cell (sending point) is sending point 1, thereby " Serving cell " comprise the group ID that id2 and id3 can use as UE3, " interfered cell " comprises the group ID that id0 and id1 can use as for example, UE in the interfered cell of UE3 (being sending point 1 in this example).
As mentioned above, Figure 20 A illustrates in this example and by high-level signaling, the structuring group ID of UE setting (transmission) is shown.Referring to Figure 20 B describe in detail UE1 from the center of sending point 1 move to edge during, the notice of UE1 being carried out by physical layer signaling (L1 signaling).
On the top of Figure 20 B, L1 signaling when moment T1 is shown, UE1 being sent.Particularly, by the table shown in above-mentioned Figure 11 is redesigned, by value " 0 " notice, UE1 is used port 7 and id0.In addition, use 1 bit newly appending UE1 notice to be disturbed to the group ID of UE use, for example " 1 " represents id1.Its reason is, UE1 and UE2 are in MU operation during T1 constantly, and UE2 is considered to the interference UE to UE1.In the case, disturbing random seed space is only the scope of " Serving cell " in the structuring group ID table that UE1 is set, and therefore, the blind Detecting definition space of UE1 is for being arranged in " Serving cell ".
At the middle part of Figure 20 B, L1 signaling when moment T2 is shown, UE1 being sent.Particularly, by redesigning, utilize the value " 7 " retaining in the table shown in Figure 11, UE1 notice disturbed to the switching in random seed space, that is, disturb Cong“ Serving cell, random seed space " change to " interfered cell ".Then, different during from T1, during T2, use 1 bit newly appending to notify the group ID for the DMRS random seed of UE1 to UE1, for example " 0 " represents id0.According to above-mentioned rule, in the case, UE1 is fixed to port 7 or port 8, does not therefore need for UE1 notice being used to the appended bits of which DMRS port.In addition, during due to T2, UE1 moves, so without UE1 being notified to its interference UE, so do not need other new bits.In the case, according to above-mentioned rule, blind Detecting space remains unchanged, and is arranged in " Serving cell " of the structuring group ID table of UE1.
In the bottom of Figure 20 B, L1 signaling when moment T3 is shown, UE1 being sent.Therefore now UE1 has arrived the edge of sending point 1, and L1 signaling when L1 signaling now and T1 is similar.Particularly, by the table shown in above-mentioned Figure 11 is redesigned, UE1 is still to be used port 7 and id0 for utilization value " 0 " notice.In addition the group ID that, also uses the 1 bit notice UE1 newly appending in L1 signaling to disturb UE to use.Owing to now disturbing UE, be the UE3 in sending point 2, and be not the UE1 in sending point 1, and to UE1, notified the switching of disturbing random seed space during T2, " interfered cell " during so the structuring group ID that interference random seed space is now UE1 shows, and the group ID that now disturbs UE to use selects from " interfered cell ", for example, now " 1 " represents id3.In the case, the blind Detecting definition space of UE1 is the scope (being id0 and id3) that is positioned at the DMRS random seed of UE1 and disturbs random seed (disturbing the random seed of UE).
By making full use of the redundancy in existing L1 signaling, to the blind Detecting space in the UE indication situation of MU or presence of intercell interference (ICI) situation of UE side, thereby the blind Detecting space of UE limited, reduced the expense of signaling.
(the 11 execution mode)
A problem of the tenth execution mode is that physical layer signaling is likely because PDCCH detects unsuccessfully and loses.Figure 21 means according to the schematic diagram of situation present embodiment, that physical layer signaling is lost because of PDCCH failure.As shown in figure 21, if eNB sends a retention (part III) to notify the switching between UE set 1 and set 2 to UE as mentioned above, but UE does not receive this retention, between eNB and UE, will there will be asynchronous.That is, eNB will disturb random seed space (interference group ID space) for example from gathering 1, to switch to set 2, but UE still keeps disturbing random seed space invariance.Solution is that combination Ack/Nck (Acknowledge/Non-acknowledge, positive response/negative response) process detects unsuccessfully to overcome this PDCCH.
Following as an example, simply introduce DL (Downlink, downgoing line) Ack/Nck process.In LTE or senior LTE, in order to prevent physical layer message loss, between UE and eNB, there is an Ack/Nck mechanism.Particularly, the in the situation that of DL, in subframe n (SF n), if UE receipt message it is successfully decoded, UE sends Ack signal to eNB in subframe n+4 (SF n+4); If UE receipt message and making a mistake when it is decoded, UE sends Nck signal to eNB in SF n+4.Whether Ack from UE or the Nck signal of eNB based in SF n+4, be identified in the message sending in SF n and by UE, successfully received and decode.If eNB does not receive any signal in SF n+4, the message sending in eNB hypothesis SF n is lost in transmission.
By combining with this Ack/Nck process, can avoid that eNB and UE's is asynchronous.Figure 22 mean according to present embodiment, by and Ack/Nck mechanism combine to avoid the schematic diagram of the nonsynchronous situation between eNB and UE.As shown in figure 22, if UE receives retention " 7 " or switching command in SF n, UE and eNB do not change immediately or switch and disturb random seed space.On the contrary, UE and eNB will be used the interference random seed space of not switching before SF n+4, and UE sends Ack/Nck signal to eNB in SF n+4.In SF n+5, if eNB receives the Ack/Nck signal sending from UE, eNB and UE both sides are synchronously switched interference random seed space; If eNB does not receive any signal from UE, eNB and UE all do not switch interference random seed space.Although this process sends switching command at SF n to UE for eNB, UE in fact (may be because channel conditions is poor) does not receive the exception of any signal.
For the switching of disturbing random seed space (or blind Detecting space), by with the combination of Ack/Nck mechanism, can avoid asynchronous between eNB and UE.
In the 7th to the tenth execution mode, use physical layer signaling notify the group ID of this UE use and with this UE, the group ID of other UE uses of interference occur UE, but the invention is not restricted to this.It should be noted that, also can to UE, set group ID table or the structuring group ID table of (transmission) by the high-level signaling based on by above, use the index (group ID) of the high-level signaling of the UE special uses such as RRC signaling to UE notice (this UE's) DMRS random seed and (disturbing UE's) interference DMRS random seed.In the case, because RRC has the signaling protection mechanism of himself, so need not worry the signaling loss in transmission.
According to present embodiment, the notification unit (not shown) of sending point device (for example 700) can be notified UE by physical layer signaling or the special-purpose high-level signaling of UE, which by high-level signaling, to the group ID in the group ID table of UE setting (transmission), will be used, wherein organizing ID table is the subset of all organizing ID space, comprises the group ID that UE can use.
According to present embodiment, UE (for example 800) can also utilize its sending and receiving unit (for example 801) to receive physical layer signaling or the special-purpose high-level signaling of UE from sending point device, the special-purpose high-level signaling of this physical layer signaling or UE is notified UE, which by high-level signaling, to the group ID in the group ID table of UE setting (transmission), will be used, wherein organizing ID table is the subset of all organizing ID space, comprises the group ID that UE can use.
(the 12 execution mode)
In the present invention, in DMRS and blind Detecting, can use any in three kinds of ID (being above-mentioned community ID, UE special I D and group ID).Although above-mentioned the 7th emphasis to the 11 execution mode is all the table to UE setting group ID, the invention is not restricted to this.The group ID table illustrating in (shown in Figure 16) the 7th execution mode or (shown in Figure 17) the 9th execution mode can expand to more generally situation, can be " x " ID table.This " x " ID can be a kind of ID, can be also two or more ID.The the 7th to the 11 execution mode is that " x " ID is specially the example while organizing ID.
Figure 23 illustrates structuring " x " the ID table that an example is set UE by high-level signaling according to present embodiment.In the example of Figure 23, " x " ID is two ZhongID,Ji community ID and UE special I D.Particularly, the structure of the structure of the table of " x " ID in Figure 23 and the table of the group ID in Figure 17 is similar.Their difference is, in Figure 23, gathers 1 and comprises Serving cell ID1 and UE special I D1 as the available ID of UE, gathers 2 and comprises Serving cell ID2 and UE special I D2 as the available ID of the interference UE to this UE.That is, in the case, all available with interference UE, community ID and UE special I D for UE.
In the 3rd execution mode about MU operation, in order to carry out blind Detecting, UE switches back the situation of community ID.But, if use structuring " x " the ID table of Figure 23, UE side also can be used UE special I D to carry out blind Detecting, because the blind Detecting space of UE is arranged in structuring " x " ID table, can be by combination physical layer Signalling Designing, be further restricted to ID more among a small circle.
Here, should show similar with the structuring group ID in the 9th execution mode by " x " ID table, by gathering 1, carry out structuring with set 2, therefore in the case, corresponding physical layer signaling design in the tenth and the 11 execution mode also can utilize, but for fear of redundancy, detailed herein.
It is noted that three kinds of ID that " x " ID is not limited to illustrate in the present invention.Those skilled in the art can easily be expanded to the ID of other kinds arbitrarily.
