Method and device for inter-station carrier aggregation scheduling
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for inter-station carrier aggregation scheduling.
Background
In an LTE (Long Term Evolution) system, a serving cell is a cell that provides data transmission service for UEs (user terminals), and each UE has only one serving cell at most. After the Rel-10 introduces the CA (Carrier Aggregation) technology, the UE may have multiple serving cells simultaneously, that is, the system aggregates two or more available carriers together to form a larger transmission bandwidth, so as to achieve a higher transmission rate and provide better service experience for the user. Thus, the cells serving the UE are divided into two categories: PCell/PCC (Primary Cell/Primary Component Carrier) and SCell/SCC (Secondary Cell/Secondary Component Carrier). Wherein, the PCell inherits the property of the serving cell in the LTE system, and the SCell is only used as an additional resource to carry the function of data transmission. Both PCell and SCell are from the UE perspective. The PCell is a serving cell for establishing RRC connection for the UE, and the establishment process is completely the same as that of the LTE system. The SCell is configured by the RRC layer of the PCell. And the PCell configures the SCell for the UE according to actual requirements, wherein the SCell configuration comprises addition of the SCell, deletion of the SCell and modification of the SCell, and the SCell configuration is completed through an RRC reconfiguration process.
In the existing carrier aggregation scheduling, as long as a UE has an activated SCell, when the UE is scheduled, both the PCell and the activated SCell participate in resource allocation. And the intra-station carrier aggregation, the PCell and the SCell belong to the same base station, and the RLC layer can forward data to the MAC layer of the SCell without time delay without considering the influence of time delay. However, due to carrier aggregation between stations, the PCell and the SCell belong to different base stations, and data interaction is transmitted through an X2 port, so that scheduling cannot be achieved in real time.
The prior art aims at intra-station carrier aggregation, namely, a PCell and an SCell belong to a base station, data and information interaction does not have time delay, and the influence of the time delay is not considered. When carrier waves among stations are aggregated, the PCell and the SCell belong to different base stations respectively, data and information are transmitted through an X2 port, and the influence of time delay needs to be considered. If the carrier aggregation between stations still adopts a scheduling algorithm of carrier aggregation in the stations, real-time scheduling can not be carried out, so that scheduling time sequence is disordered, data and messages can not be issued in time, and the performance of the whole system is influenced. Therefore, the scheduling algorithm for intra-station carrier aggregation is not suitable for inter-station carrier aggregation.

Referring to fig. 5, a flow of a method for inter-station carrier aggregation scheduling is shown, and each step in fig. 5 is described in detail below with reference to a system diagram shown in fig. 2, where the specific steps are as follows:

step 506: the RLC module of the PCell performs an ARQ process for the AM mode.
For the above step 502, there are two scheduling schemes on the SCell side, as shown in fig. 6-9 below:
the first scheduling scheme is as follows:
the simultaneous scheduling of the user in the SCell local area and the user of the inter-station CA all needs to advance N times (for example, 2 times) of the delay of X2 ports, and the delay of X2 ports is exemplified by 4 ms.
See fig. 6 for a specific scheduling procedure.
The modification of the scheduling algorithm is uniformly scheduled 2 times earlier than the time delay of the port X2, namely, the scheduling is carried out in the subframe 0, and the PDCCH and the PDSCH are issued in the subframe 7. And if the user of the CA between the stations needs to apply for RLC data from the PCell, the sub-frame 7 can obtain the data.
Scheduling scheme one transmission effect can be seen in fig. 7.
In the scheme, due to the existence of time delay, transmission data of inter-station CA users and non-inter-station CA users (including subsequent new services) in the Scell are deviated from original data, namely, patterns are unchanged, and the data are translated backwards.
And a second scheduling scheme:
and normally scheduling the users by taking the current cell as the PCell and the intra-station CA users by taking the current cell as the SCell, scheduling the users in advance by taking the current cell as the inter-station CA users of the Scell, and reserving resources for the inter-station CA users in advance.
See fig. 8 for a specific scheduling procedure.
In the scheduling algorithm, the users of the CA between the stations are scheduled 2 times of the time delay of an X2 port in advance, namely, the users are scheduled in a subframe 0, and a PDCCH and a PDSCH are issued in a subframe 7; and normally scheduling non-inter-station CA users in the SCell, but not including resources reserved for pre-scheduling inter-station CA users when calculating available resources. The scheme is equivalent to specially considering the users of the CA among the stations, scheduling in advance and reserving resources in advance.
The transmission effect of the second scheduling scheme can be seen in fig. 9.
In the scheme, due to the existence of time delay, after the transmission data of the inter-station CA user in the Scell is deviated from the original data, namely, the pattern is unchanged, and the data is translated backwards. Data transmission of non-inter-station CA users is not affected.
