Embodiment
Here the careful preferred embodiment with reference to the present invention, the example are shown in accompanying drawing.
Generally, base station transmission ack/nack signal, each user equipment in the signal designation cell are transmitted Packet be to be successfully received or reception failure;Or control signal, it plays the part of and respective user equipment in the downlink The similar role of the ack/nack signal.So, when multiple user equipmenies can in single TTI transfer uplink data bag When, base station can also transmit ack/nack signal to these multiple user equipmenies in single TTI simultaneously.
In addition, base station is multiplexed multiple power control signals to control multiple user equipmenies in the single TTI in cell The transimission power of uplink data, and the multiplexed signals is then transmitted to each user equipment.
Therefore, the specific embodiment according to the present invention, in order to be effectively multiplexed and transmitted multiple 1 control signal, This embodiment offers a kind of multiplexing method to pass through CDMA in the part time-frequency domain of transmission belt in multi-carrier systems Method transmits multiple 1 control signal.Moreover, it will be illustrated with reference to specific embodiment.
Meanwhile the explanation of embodiments of the invention relates to the situation that 1 control signal is ack/nack signal.According to In method according to the transmission of control signals of embodiments of the invention, 1 control signal is not necessarily intended to be ack/nack signal.And It is apparent that for a person skilled in the art, the present invention includes in the case where multiple signals are the form being transmitted in 1TTI There is 1 random control signal.
Fig. 1 is the multiplexing method that ack/nack signal is transmitted by CDMA technology of the specific embodiment according to the present invention Illustrate schematic diagram.
Reference picture 1, according to embodiments of the invention, base station preserves special time-frequency domain in 1 TTI to be used as biography Defeated ACK/NACK is used.In addition, the ack/nack signal of different user devices be by add orthogonal or quasiorthogonal code to when m- frequency It is distinguish between on rate domain.
In the case, " orthogonal code " or " quasiorthogonal code " is used to the multiplexed signals in CDMA methods, and can be used as and refer to Show code using indicate correlation be zero or value be less than specified threshold situation.
According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the tune by such as QPSK methods using the orthogonal component of phase In the case that technology processed is to perform transmission, multiple ack/nack signals can additionally be distinguished by different quadrature phase components.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, when ack/nack signal is by including 12 subcarriers in single TTI Across the time-frequency domain of 6 OFDM symbols when being transmitted, orthogonal code that chip length is 72 (=6x12) can be used to pass Defeated ack/nack signal.Therefore, can 72 different orthogonal signalling of simultaneous transmission.However, it is many can be transmitted simultaneously it is orthogonal Signal changes such as the type of used orthogonal/quasiorthogonal code.
In the case where embodiment as shown in Figure 1 uses QPSK as modulator approach, two quadrature phases can be used.Cause This, can transmit the different orthogonal signal of the doubling dose of 72 orthogonal signalling altogether.
Meanwhile the ack/nack signal of sole user's equipment can pass through the list in orthogonal signalling caused by manner described above One orthogonal signalling and be transmitted.However, the specific embodiment of the present invention proposes to be loaded beyond 1 in single ack/nack signal Information or in the case of sole user's equipment transmits multiple packets in single TTI, by the ACK/ of sole user's equipment NACK signal is set to by multiple orthogonal signalling to be transmitted.
Such as foregoing illustrated specific embodiment of the invention, it is multiplexed and is transmitted by CDMA methods in downlink Ack/nack signal has the advantage that:It is by the ack/nack signal on single TTI time-frequency domain in downlink Caused a large amount of interference can be maintained relatively equal.
Especially, it is multiplexed in random cell in single TTI with TDMA or FDMA methods and transmits different user devices Ack/nack signal in the case of, be previously mentioned as indicated above, if individual user equipments ack/nack signal transmission work( Difference is big each other for rate, then these respective cells be added on the interference volume on adjacent cell may very much not in time-domain or frequency domain Together.Moreover, such a situation may to effectively perform cellular environment downlink packet scheduling or other time-frequency- Energy distribution has undesirable effect.However, being multiplexed ack/nack signal in the specific embodiment such as the present invention with CDMA methods In the case of, even if when different ack/nack signal transimission powers are allocated to different user devices, all user equipmenies Ack/nack signal is added together in single TTI same time-frequency domain, and is then transmitted.Therefore, transimission power Change on time-frequency domain can be minimized.
As the present invention specific embodiment, multiple ack/nack signals (these signals transmitted by sole user's equipment or It is transmitted to transmit sole user's device data) it is in the case of being transmitted by multiple orthogonal signalling, biography can be improved Defeated ack/nack signal to corresponding user equipment reliability.
Passed in addition, the downlink transmission principle of the ack/nack signal of preceding description can be applied in the same manner in up-link On defeated.
Meanwhile when being multiplexed ack/nack signal with CDMA methods, it is previously mentioned, is multiplexed with CDMA methods as indicated above Orthogonality between different ack/nack signals, only when downlink radio channel response characteristic is carrying ACK/NACK letters Number time-frequency domain on when not being changed too many, its orthogonality can be just maintained.Therefore, such as connect in no use Under the special receiving algorithm of the channel equalizer of receiving end etc, remain to obtain satisfied receptivity.Preferred versions are, when Realize in m- frequency domain and ack/nack signal be multiplexed with CDMA methods, in the time-frequency domain radio channel response not by Change too much, i.e., within coherent time and coherent frequency range.
According to the detailed specific embodiment of the present invention, FDMA or TDMA can be used to be multiplexed method to realize that transmission is answered with CDMA methods With ack/nack signal, to reduce the time-frequency domain for being multiplexed ack/nack signal with CDMA methods in coherent scope, wherein Radio channel response feature is not changed too much in the coherent scope.It will be described below it.
Fig. 2 is that being realized by CDMA and FDMA technologies for the specific embodiment according to the present invention is multiplexed to transmit end to end The explanation schematic diagram of the method for ack/nack signal.
With reference to figure 2, passed in the time-frequency domain that different ack/nack signals can be separated from each other on two frequency axis It is defeated.Moreover, different ack/nack signals can be re-used in each time-frequency domain with CDMA methods.In the case, foundation The specific embodiment of the present invention, when ack/nack signal is transmitted by two frequency domains, can be observed each frequency domain Width is to be configured to 6 sub-carrier bins, and its width is less than 12 sub-carrier bins.
Especially, in the embodiment shown in Figure 2, because each of two time-frequency domains all includes 6 OFDM Symbol and 12 subcarriers, therefore CDMA methods can be used to transmit 36 (=6x6) orthogonal signalling.Due to two time-frequency domains It is to be used in single TTI, therefore 72 (=36x2) orthogonal signalling can be transmitted.
In the case of using QPSK modulation, believed due to two quadrature phases can be used with additionally distinguishing ACK/NACK Number, therefore the different orthogonal signalling of the doubling dose equivalent to 72 orthogonal signalling can be transmitted.
Fig. 3 is that being realized by CDMA, TDMA and FDMA technology for the specific embodiment according to the present invention is multiplexed end to end To transmit the explanation schematic diagram of ack/nack signal.
Especially, Fig. 3 shows embodiment, and the example is by being multiplexed ACK/ with CDMA, FDMA and TDMA method to realize simultaneously NACK signal.
Reference picture 3, different ack/nack signals can be transmitted on 4 less time-frequency domains of channel variation.This Outside, CDMA methods can be used to be re-used in each time-frequency domain for different ack/nack signals.
Especially, in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, because each time-frequency domain includes three OFDM symbols and six Subcarrier, therefore 18 (=3x6) ack/nack signals can be transmitted in each time-frequency domain with CDMA methods.Due to four Time-frequency domain is used in single TTI, therefore can also transmit 72 (=18x4) ack/nack signals.Due to two just Hand over phase to can be used as QPSK transmission, therefore the ACK/NACK letters of the doubling dose of the ack/nack signal different equivalent to this can be transmitted Number.
In the foregoing ack/nack signal multiplexing method shown in Fig. 2 or Fig. 3, for being passed in each time-frequency domain Defeated different ack/nack signal, this method is than the method shown in Fig. 1 advantageously.In method shown in Fig. 1, every ACK/ NACK signal can not be to change to be transmitted in too big time-frequency domain with radio channel response feature;However, making In the case of specifying the radio channel quality of user equipment bad in the time-frequency domain of loading ACK/NACK signal, phase Answering the ACK/NACK receptivities of user equipment can greatly decline.
Therefore, specific embodiment of the invention proposes that ack/nack signal of the specific user equipment in single TTI can It is spanned and is transmitted on the time-frequency domain away from multiple T/F axles.In addition, the specific embodiment of the present invention also proposes For obtain receiving terminal ack/nack signal receive T/F diversity gain method, this method be by with CDMA methods are multiplexed the ack/nack signal of different user devices in each time-frequency domain.
Fig. 4 is the method explanation figure for transmitting ack/nack signal, and according to the specific embodiment of the present invention, this method passes through same When multiplexing ack/nack signal realized with CDMA and FDMA methods;Wherein passed in multiple ack/nack signals by specific transmission end Defeated multiple ack/nack signals are transmitted by multiple frequency domains.
Reference picture 4, receiving terminal can in a manner of ack/nack signal is transmitted in two different frequency domains by leap Obtain frequency diversity gain.In the embodiment as shown in fig.4, ack/nack signal is spanned transmission in two T/Fs Domain and different ack/nack signals is re-used in each time-frequency domain.
Especially, because each time-frequency domain includes six OFDM symbols and six subcarriers, therefore in per a period of time With 36 (=6x6) ack/nack signals of CDMA methods reusable in m- frequency domain.Passed because two quadrature phases can be used as QPSK It is defeated, therefore the ack/nack signal of the doubling dose of the ack/nack signal different equivalent to this can be transmitted.
Mention as indicated above, using orthogonal code (according to each time-frequency domain in each time-frequency domain Size adjusts) to be multiplexed different ack/nack signals when, the special user equipment that is transmitted by different time-frequency domain Ack/nack signal, can be answered by the identical orthogonal code in the orthogonal code for being used in each time-frequency domain With.
However, embodiments of the invention propose the ACK/ for the special user equipment being transmitted by different time-frequency domain NACK signal, it can be multiplexed by using the different orthogonal code in each time-frequency domain is used in.
Therefore, the ack/nack signal for special user equipment is used in mutually different in each time-frequency domain Orthogonal code and when being re-used, can avoid receptivity because in during specific T TI specific ack/nack signal with by CDMA multiplexings The certain orthogonal of other ack/nack signals, which is reduced, to be influenceed and is lowered.In addition, the method is may extend away to cause specific user to set Standby ack/nack signal, in the case that the ack/nack signal is transmitted by least three time-frequency domains, Also the different orthogonal code that may be used in different time-frequency domain transmits the ack/nack signal of the special user equipment.
As shown in figure 4, when ack/nack signal is transmitted by multiple time-frequency domains, preferable tool of the invention Body embodiment propose can the more ack/nack signals of simultaneous transmission method;When the method is using being specifically designated corresponding whole The orthogonal code of m- frequency domain size, rather than the orthogonal code of corresponding each time-frequency domain size is specifically designated, then correspondingly Transmit multiple ack/nack signals.
Especially, in the embodiment shown in fig. 4, by obtaining the orthogonal code of chip length 72, (6x12, foundation belong to two 6 OFDM symbols and 12 subcarriers of individual time-frequency domain, two time-frequency domains are set for carrying specific user Standby multiple ack/nack signals) rather than chip length 36 (according to belong to single time-frequency domain 6 OFDM symbols and 6 Subcarrier), using different quadrature phases in the case of QPSK technical transmission signals, can be used with simultaneous transmission 144 Ack/nack signal.
In the case, due to the radio channel response of different time-frequency domain, difference is big and cause orthogonal to each other The problem of orthogonality of intersymbol declines, can be different from each other to distribute by the correlative character intersected according to the part of orthogonal intersymbol ACK/NACK transimission powers to overcome the problem.
Especially, if by by the low code division of the orthogonality in the foregoing orthogonal code specifically noted in groups to match corresponding The transimission power of orthogonal code in group, then above-mentioned orthogonal sex chromosome mosaicism can be solved.
Fig. 5 is the method explanation figure for transmitting ack/nack signal, and according to the specific embodiment of the present invention, this method passes through same When multiplexing ack/nack signal realized with CDMA, TDMA and FDMA method;Wherein by specific biography in multiple ack/nack signals Multiple ack/nack signals of defeated end transmission will be transmitted by multiple frequency domains.
Fig. 5 shows that the ack/nack signal of wherein special user equipment crosses over transmission in two different time-frequency domains Embodiment, in this way obtain T/F diversity gain.
Especially, user equipment 1 to N/4 ack/nack signal are the T/Fs by the upper left part positioned at Fig. 5 The time-frequency domain of domain and bottom right part positioned at Fig. 5 is transmitted, and user equipment N/4+1 to N/2 ack/nack signal is Time-frequency domain by the lower-left part positioned at Fig. 5 and the time-frequency domain of the upper right part positioned at Fig. 5 are transmitted.
Especially, in the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the ack/nack signal of special user equipment crosses over transmission at two In m- frequency domain.Then different ack/nack signals is multiplexed and passed in each time-frequency domain with CDMA methods It is defeated.
In addition, 18 ack/nack signals can by each time-frequency domain across three OFDM symbols and six The orthogonal code of the corresponding chip length 18 (=3x6) of subcarrier and be transmitted.Because two quadrature phases can be used in QPSK Transmission, therefore 36 different ack/nack signals of the qdx equivalent to foregoing ack/nack signal can be transmitted altogether.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, it is distinguishable go out special user equipment pass through the ACK/ that different time-frequency domain transmits NACK signal and other ack/nack signals using same orthogonal code.However, it can be multiplexed by using different orthogonal code every Ack/nack signal in one time-frequency domain obtains diversity gain.
In addition, in the embodiment shown in fig. 5, according to whole time-frequency domain size rather than according to respective time-frequency , can the more ack/nack signals of simultaneous transmission in the case that rate domain size is to be specifically designated orthogonal code.
Especially, it is 72 by the way that the chip length being made up of total of six OFDM symbol and 12 subcarriers is specifically designated Therefore orthogonal code, rather than the orthogonal code that the chip length being made up of three symbols and six subcarriers is 18, can be passed simultaneously Defeated more ack/nack signals.
In the specific embodiment shown in earlier figures 1 to 5, for example, 1 control signal, such as ack/nack signal, is to pass through It is distributed in CDMA methods in 3 or 6 OFDM symbol bands to be transmitted.However, 1 control available for transmission such as ack/nack signal The OFDM symbol band of signal processed, it can include at least one or more OFDM symbol.
In 1 control signal (ack/nack signal) transmission method according to foregoing specific embodiment of the invention, its In be used in multiple time-frequency domains repeatedly transmitting ACK/NACK signal to ensure the method for transmission diversity gain, this method Can be diversified according to numerous workable OFDM symbol bands.In the following description, explanation is used for passing according to numerous Method of the OFDM symbol of defeated ack/nack signal can effectively transmit ack/nack signal.
Fig. 6 is 1 OFDM symbol band of use according to the specific embodiment of the present invention to transmit saying for ack/nack signal Express intention.
In detail, Fig. 6 shows that four ack/nack signals are divided with invasin (spreading factor, SF) 4 Cloth is then multiplexed with CDMA methods in 1 OFDM symbol band and transmits these ack/nack signals.In figure 6, single frame represents Single sub-carrier bin.In addition, AijRepresent the ack/nack signal being multiplexed with CDMA methods.In this embodiment, " i " is represented and divided Scattered and multiplexed signals index, and " j " represents the index of the ack/nack signal group of the multiplexing.ACK/NACK group expressions are re-used And the ack/nack signal set transmitted.In addition, multiple ACK/NACK groups can be according to the necessity and resource status of each system And exist.For the convenience in clear explanation and explanation, Fig. 6 assumes to only exist single ACK/NACK groups.
Due to present embodiment assumes that using only single OFDM symbol to transmit ack/nack signal, therefore ACK/ can not be obtained The diversity gain of NACK signal transmission on a timeline.
However, to obtain diversity gain on the frequency axis, the ACK/NACK being re-used on the frequency axis with CDMA methods Signal can be repeatedly transmitted in different frequency domains.
Fig. 6 shows an example, wherein being repeated four in different frequency domains with the ack/nack signal of CDMA methods multiplexing It is secondary.Here, four times of repetitions are to obtain the example of diversity.Signal repetition number according to system channel status and resource situation and Change.In figure 6, each in the ack/nack signal being repeated four times all has identical index (i, j) to emphasize it for this The repeating signal of signal.But each signal in the ack/nack signal being repeated four times can by different orthogonal codes or Similar fashion and be re-used, therefore in this case, these repeating signals can be signal different from each other.But in order to It is convenient to illustrate, the otherness of each repeating signal will be ignored in the text.
Fig. 6 processing carrys out the situation of ACK/NACK signal transmission using single OFDM symbol.Use the situation of single OFDM symbol Only in order to illustrate embodiments of the invention.Moreover, the present invention is equally applicable for the situation using multiple OFDM symbols.
Relatively it is particularly, in the case where ACK/NACK is transmitted by several OFDM symbols, repeats to believe on a timeline It is number same with repeating signal on the frequency axis be it is enforceable, to obtain extra diversity and transmission antenna diversity.
It will be described below using multiple OFDM symbols to transmit the situation of ack/nack signal.
In the case where increase OFDM symbol amount is to transmit ack/nack signal, when using single OFDM symbol to transmit During ack/nack signal, ack/nack signal can be re-used in the increased OFDM symbol of cooperation institute.In the case, due to Increase using to transmit the OFDM symbol of ack/nack signal, there can be more signal powers to be used for transmitting ACK/NACK letters Number.Therefore, ack/nack signal can be transmitted to the wide region of cell.
Fig. 7 is the method explanation figure for transmitting ack/nack signal, and according to the specific embodiment of the present invention, this method is using extremely Lack 2 OFDM symbol bands to transmit ack/nack signal.
Fig. 7 shows ack/nack signal transmission method, and the method processing is when the OFDM symbols for being used to transmit ack/nack signal Number number when being increased to two, and ack/nack signal has and Fig. 6 identical invasins.Especially, Fig. 7 is shown as schemed 6 using single OFDM symbol to transmit ack/nack signal when structure, this structure can completely and repeated application is to the 2nd OFDM Symbol.
When using aforementioned structure to transmit, when symbol quantity is increased, the ack/nack signal quantity that can transmit Equivalent to the situation using single OFDM symbol.Because in the case of using only single OFDM symbol, when more multi-OFDM When symbol is used for transmission and is only repeated ack/nack signal on the frequency axis, repeated by rolling up T/F Number, more time-frequency resource are used for transmitting the ack/nack signal of identical quantity.
When performing transmission in this approach, more power can be allocated to ack/nack signal and transmit, but may provide Source wastes.In the case where there is more OFDM symbols to be used for transmission ack/nack signal to reduce the wasting of resources, if logical Crossing increases the number of iterations of each OFDM symbol on the frequency axis to perform transmission, then with using single OFDM symbol situation phase Same time-frequency domain is occupied.Therefore, can be compared with efficent use of resources.
Fig. 8 is the method explanation figure for transmitting ack/nack signal, and according to the specific embodiment of the present invention, this method is using extremely Lack 2 OFDM symbol bands to transmit ack/nack signal.

When the OFDM symbol number for transmitting ack/nack signal is increased, compared with being repeated four times in Fig. 6, although Ack/nack signal is repeated twice, but uses four times of time-frequency resources domains and the situation phase using single OFDM symbol Together.
With shown in Fig. 7 by the identical ack/nack signal structure of application to whole OFDM symbol to perform the situation of transmission Compare, it is assumed that using same time-frequency resource, Fig. 8 shows that the transmission of ack/nack signal may be two times.Therefore, resource Can more effectively it be utilized.
Compared with Fig. 7, due to being increased using to transmit the time-frequency resources domain number of ack/nack signal, use It may diminish to transmit the signal power of ack/nack signal.However, due to total ack/nack signal be spanned transmission when M- frequency domain, the transimission power distribution of each symbol may be than transmitting ack/nack signal using only single OFDM symbol Situation is more efficiently.
