Hereinafter, description is performed into downlink communication and uplink wherein in the same frequency band of unlicensed band The frame (for example, radio frames, subframe) of communication.Supporting the FDD communication networks of authorized frequency bands (for example, the communication based on Class1 frame Network) in, can downlink communication and uplink communication be performed according to frequency band, but regardless of subframe numbers how.Under for example, Communications uplink can be performed by the radio frames (for example, subframe #0 to #9) in downlink band (for example, frequency band #1), And uplink communication can be by radio frames in uplink band (for example, frequency band #2) (for example, subframe #0 is to son Frame #9) it performs.
It, can be according to UL- in the TDD communication networks (for example, communication network based on 2 frame of type) for supporting authorized frequency bands DL configurations perform uplink communication, and can be configured according to UL-DL and pass through downlink by uplink subframe Frame performs downlink communication.For example, when using the UL-DL of table 1 with setting to 0, can be performed by subframe #0 and subframe #5 Downlink communication, and can uplink communication be performed by subframe #2 to subframe #4 and subframe #7 to subframe #9.
Simultaneously as unlicensed band can be shared by a plurality of users, so being difficult to make based on the UL-DL configurations in table 1 With fixed uplink subframe and fixed downlink subframe.Therefore, in the communication network for supporting unlicensed band, on Uplink subframe and downlink subframe can be changeably configured.
Figure 11 is the flow chart for the embodiment for showing the communication means based on variable sub-frame configuration.
With reference to figure 11, base station can be the base station shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 4, and terminal may be coupled to base station.Base station and end Each in end can support cellular communication (for example, LTE, LTE-A, LAA, eLAA for defining in the 3 gpp standards etc.) and It is operated in unlicensed band and authorized frequency bands.Also, each in base station and terminal can be with the communication section that is shown in Fig. 5 Point 500 is same or similar.
Base station can check channel (for example, unlicensed band) by performing channel access process (for example, LBT processes) State (S1100).For example, base station can select backoff counter and can identify to keep out of the way meter with selected in competition window The channel status (for example, sensing the channel) of number device corresponding period.Alternatively, base station can identify predetermined period (example Such as, 25 μ s or (25+ Timing Advances (timing advance, TA)) μ s) channel status (for example, sensing the channel).
If it is determined that channel status is idle state, then base station can be configured including uplink subframe, downlink The radio frames (S1110) of at least one of frame and special subframe.The length of radio frames can be set to be less than default maximum Length.Default maximum length can be 10ms.In radio frames, uplink subframe, downlink subframe and special subframe Quantity can be changeably configured respectively.It can be as follows by the radio frames that base station is configured in unlicensed band.
Figure 12 is the concept map for the embodiment for showing the radio frames in unlicensed band.
With reference to figure 12, non-awarded since subframe #0 to #2 of the channel status in the radio frames #0 with authorized frequency bands is corresponding It is busy state to weigh in the frequency band period, so base station can be configured wirelessly after the busy state in the unlicensed band period Frame.If the length that preset maximum length is 10ms and subframe is 1ms, base station can be configured including 10 or more The radio frames of few subframe.For example, radio frames can include five downlink subframes, a special subframe and four uplinks Subframe.
Referring again to Figure 11, base station can perform communication (S1120) by the radio frames being configured.For example, base station can lead to The downlink subframe crossed in unlicensed band performs downlink communication, and pass through the uplink subframe in authorized frequency bands and hold Row uplink communication.
Hereinafter, will the uplink scheduling side in the communication network of authorized frequency bands and unlicensed band is supported be described Method.Here, uplink subframe can include PUSCH.For example, it can be wrapped by the uplink subframe of uplink license scheduling Include PUSCH.Uplink license can be classified as single uplink license and the license of more uplinks.Single uplink license Can be for dispatching the license of the uplink of single uplink subframe (for example, PUSCH).More uplinks are permitted For dispatching the license of the uplink of multiple uplink subframes (for example, PUSCH).
Dispatching method based on the license of single uplink can be as follows.
Figure 13 is the sequence chart of the first embodiment for the method for showing to send for scheduling uplink in a communication network, And Figure 14 is the concept map of the first embodiment for the subframe for showing scheduling in a communication network.
With reference to Figure 13 and 14, base station can be the base station shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 4, and terminal may be coupled to base station.Base Standing can support cellular communication (for example, LTE, LTE-A, LAA, eLAA for defining in the 3 gpp standards with each in terminal Deng) and operated in unlicensed band and authorized frequency bands.Also, each in base station and terminal can be with showing in Fig. 5 Communication node 500 it is same or similar.
Single uplink license (S1300) can be configured in base station.For example, when receiving request uplink scheduling from terminal Message when, the license of single uplink can be configured in base station.Single uplink license can be included in the parameter described in table 4 It is at least one.Also, single uplink license can also include parameter and the parameter described in table 4.
[table 4]
Base station can send the down link control information (DCI) (S1310) permitted including single uplink.It can pass through At least one of PDCCH and enhanced PDCCH (EPDCCH) send DCI.DCI including the license of single uplink can lead to Subframe #n is crossed to send, and single uplink license can be with the transmission of scheduling subframe # (n+l).N can be equal to or greater than zero Integer.L can be preset in base station and terminal.It base station can be by higher level signaling (for example, RRC signaling) to terminal notification 1.L can be equal to or greater than 4 integer.For example, the single uplink license sent by subframe #0 can be with scheduling subframe #4 Transmission, and sent by subframe #1 single uplink license can be with the transmission of scheduling subframe #5.
Terminal can obtain DCI, and can identify and be included in by monitoring (or detection) PDCCH and EPDCCH Single uplink license (S1320) in DCI.Terminal can be identified based on the parameter in single uplink license is included in The transmission of subframe # (n+l) is scheduled, and subframe # (n+ are configured based on being included in the parameter in the license of single uplink l).Subframe # (n+l) can be sent to base station (S1330) by terminal.For example, terminal can will be by being received by subframe #0 The subframe #4 of single uplink license scheduling is sent to base station, and will be permitted by the single uplink received by subframe #1 The subframe #5 of scheduling is sent to base station.
Base station can be based on being included in single uplink license (for example, being permitted via the subframe #n single uplinks sent Can) in parameter from terminal receive subframe # (n+l).For example, base station can be based on being included on the list sent by subframe #0 Parameter in line link license receives subframe #4 from terminal, and can be based on being included in single uplink for being sent by subframe #1 Parameter in link license receives subframe #5 from terminal.
Meanwhile pre-setting the sending time of uplink license and the uplink by uplink license scheduling In the case of interval between the sending time of subframe, the transmission of uplink license can be in preset interval with one-to-one Mode and the transmission of uplink subframe match.When using from carrier wave scheduling scheme, uplink license transmission and It can be by same carrier wave (that is, identical in TDD communication networks by the transmission of the uplink subframe of uplink license scheduling Carrier wave) or pairs of carrier wave (that is, a pair of of carrier wave in FDD communication networks) perform.When using cross-carrier scheduling scheme, The carrier wave of uplink license is sent by it and can be different from the uplink dispatched by its transmission by uplink license The carrier wave of subframe.Cross-carrier scheduling scheme can be used in the communication network for supporting carrier aggregation.
In the FDD communication networks for supporting authorized frequency bands, due to downlink carrier and uplink carrier separate configuration, So the transmission of uplink license can match with the transmission of uplink subframe in a manner of one-to-one.Also, it is propping up It holds in the TDD communication networks of authorized frequency bands, has pre-defined " UL-DL sub-frame configurations " due to being based on table 1, uplink is permitted Can transmission can match in a manner of one-to-one with the transmission of uplink subframe.
On the other hand, in the communication network for supporting unlicensed band, due to channel use it is uncertain, variable upper Line link-downlink subframe configurations etc., sending for uplink license can be with the uplink by uplink license scheduling The transmission of way frame dynamically matches.When use is from carrier wave scheduling scheme in the communication network for supporting unlicensed band, Variable uplink-downlink sub-frame configuration may be difficult.For example, if the quantity of downlink subframe is less than packet Include the quantity of the uplink subframe in the subframe burst (or radio frames) of multiple subframes, then it may the conventional uplink of limitation The use of dispatching method.
Next, by the dispatching method permitted based on more uplinks is described.Can be based on from carrier wave scheduling scheme or Cross-carrier scheduling scheme performs following dispatching method.
Figure 15 is the concept map of the second embodiment for the subframe for showing scheduling in a communication network.
With reference to figure 15, in unlicensed band, radio frames can include 10 subframes.For example, radio frames can include six A uplink subframe, three downlink subframes and a special subframe.Base station can be generated for scheduling uplink More uplinks license of frame #4 to #6, and permitted by subframe #0 to send more uplinks of generation.
Meanwhile in multiple uplink subframes by the license scheduling of more uplinks, the first uplink in time domain Subframe can be referred to as " starting uplink subframe ".For example, uplink subframe #4 can start uplink subframe. In multiple uplink subframes by the license scheduling of more uplinks, the last one uplink subframe in time domain can be claimed For " terminating uplink subframe ".For example, uplink subframe #6 can terminate uplink subframe.
More uplink licenses can be classified as " more uplink license types 1 " and " more uplink license types 2”。
1) more uplink license types 1
It, can be with each in the multiple uplink subframes of configuration schedules when using more uplink license types 1 More uplink licenses.For example, may be configured to more uplinks license A of scheduling uplink subframe #4, can be configured More uplinks for scheduling uplink subframe #5 permit B and may be configured to scheduling uplink subframe #6's More uplinks permit C.In this case, each in more uplink license A, B and C can be included in different In DCI.For example, more uplinks license A can be included in the first DCI, more uplinks license B can be included in the In two DCI, and more uplinks license C can be included in the 3rd DCI.Also, in more uplink license A, B and C Each can be scrambled (), and by identical based on identical radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) Subframe #0 is sent.
2) more uplink license types 2
It, can be with more uplinks of the multiple uplink subframes of configuration schedules when using more uplink license types 2 License.More uplink licenses can include a public field and multiple independent fields.For example, the license of more uplinks can be with Including being used for the public field of uplink subframe #4 to #6, for the independent field A of uplink subframe #4, for uplink The independent field B of the way frame #5 and independent field C for uplink subframe #6.
Public field can be included at least one parameter being used in conjunction in multiple uplink subframes.It is for example, public Field can include the resource block assignment information for uplink subframe #4 to #6, MCS, transmission power control (TPC) order Deng.Independent field can be configured for each in multiple uplink subframes and can be including for multiple uplinks The different parameters of each in way frame.For example, individually each in field A, B and C can include HARQ process numbers, RV, NDI etc..
Dispatching method based on above-mentioned subframe structure (for example, subframe structure shown in Figure 15) can be as follows.
Figure 16 is the sequence chart of the second embodiment for the method for showing to send for scheduling uplink in a communication network.
With reference to figure 16, base station can be the base station shown in Fig. 1 to 4, and terminal may be coupled to base station.Base station and end Each in end can support cellular communication (for example, LTE, LTE-A, LAA, eLAA for defining in the 3 gpp standards etc.) and It is operated in unlicensed band and authorized frequency bands.Also, each in base station and terminal can be with the communication section that is shown in Fig. 5 Point 500 is same or similar.
Base station can be permitted to terminal notification more by higher level signaling (for example, RRC signaling) by more uplinks The scheduling (S1600) of the transmission of a uplink subframe.Under specific circumstances (for example, the quantity when uplink subframe is more than During the quantity of downlink subframe), the scheduling that the uplink based on the license of more uplinks is sent may be necessary, and Therefore such case can be directed to and perform step S1600.
Also, base station can be by higher level signaling (for example, RRC signaling) to the more uplink license types of terminal notification (for example, Class1 or type 2) can be permitted maximum quantity of uplink subframe of scheduling etc. by more uplinks.It can be by The maximum quantity of the uplink subframe of more uplink license scheduling can be referred to as " MSF”。MSFIt may be greater than or be equal to Zero integer.For example, MSFCan be 4.
Terminal can identify that the transmission of multiple uplink subframes is by more by higher level signaling (for example, RRC signaling) Uplink permits to dispatch.In this case, terminal can activate the more uplinks for dispatching multiple uplink subframes The receive capabilities of road license.Also, terminal can identify that more uplinks are permitted by higher level signaling (for example, RRC signaling) Type (for example, Class1 or type 2), MSFDeng.
Meanwhile if uplink is required to send, terminal can send request scheduling to the uplink of base station to base station The message (S1610) that road is sent.It is supported mostly for asking the message of scheduling that uplink is sent that can include instruction terminal The indicator of line link license, more uplink license types etc..When the scheduling sent from terminal request uplink, base station Can (S1620) be permitted with collocating uplink link.In the case where terminal supports more uplink licenses, base station may be configured to Dispatch more uplinks license of multiple uplink subframes.Also, base station can determine the type of more uplink licenses. In this case, base station can determine the type that more uplinks are permitted according to the request of terminal.
M can be equal to or less than by the quantity of the uplink subframe of more uplinks license schedulingSF.By more uplinks The uplink subframe of license scheduling can be the continuous uplink subframe in time domain.For example, on continuous shown in Figure 15 Uplink subframe #2 to #7 can permit to dispatch by more uplinks.
More uplink licenses can be including at least one parameter described in table 4 and table 5.Also, more uplinks are permitted It can also include the parameter described in call parameter and table 4 and table 5.
[table 5]
In fig.15, when using " more uplink license types 1 ", it may be configured to scheduling uplink subframe #4 More uplinks license A, and more uplinks license A can be included in the parameter described in table 4 and table 5 at least one It is a.More uplinks license B of scheduling uplink subframe #5 is may be configured to, and more uplinks license B can be wrapped Include at least one of parameter described in table 4 and table 5.It may be configured to more uplinks of scheduling uplink subframe #6 C is permitted on road, and more uplinks license C can be including at least one of parameter described in table 4 and table 5.
In fig.15, when using " more uplink license types 2 ", can be configured including public field and it is multiple individually More uplinks license of field.Public field can include it is in the parameter described in table 4 and table 5, by UL subframe At least one parameter that frame #4 to #6 is used in conjunction with.Each in independent field can be including the parameter described in table 4 and table 5 In the middle, for the different parameters of each in uplink subframe #4 to #6.It may be configured to uplink subframe #4 Independent field A, may be configured to the independent field B of uplink subframe #5, and may be configured to UL subframe The independent field C of frame #6.For example, HARQ process numbers, RV, NDI, k, i, length letter in parameter described in table 4 and table 5 At least one of breath, channel access relevant information and SRS indexes can be included in each in independent field A, B and C In.In the parameter listed in table 4 and table 5, the rest parameter (example in addition at least one parameter that independent field includes Such as, MCS, resource block assignment information, TPC command etc.) public field can be included in.It is included in more uplink licenses The type of public field and the parameter in independent field is not limited to above-mentioned example, and can be configured differently.
It then, will be in description mostly when using " more uplink license types 1 " or " more uplink license types 2 " The embodiment of line link license.
■ HARQ process numbers
When using more uplink license types 1, HARQ process numbers can be included in more uplink licenses. In Figure 15, the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #4 can be included in more uplink license A, uplink subframe #5 HARQ process numbers can be included in more uplinks license B, and the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #6 can be with It is included in more uplink license C.Therefore, terminal can be based respectively on more uplink license A, B and C to identify uplink The HARQ process numbers of link subframe #4 to #6.
Alternatively, it is possible to by more uplinks permit A be only sent in by more uplinks license scheduling it is multiple on The HARQ process numbers of beginning uplink subframe (for example, uplink subframe #4) in uplink subframe, and in residue The HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe (for example, uplink subframe #5 and #6) can not be permitted by corresponding uplink (for example, more uplinks permit B and C) is sent.In this case, terminal can permit A to know based on more uplinks The HARQ process numbers of other uplink subframe #4, and use beginning uplink subframe (for example, uplink subframe #4) HARQ process numbers derive the HARQ process numbers of remaining uplink subframe (for example, uplink subframe #5 and #6).
HARQ process numbers can increase according to the increase of UL subframe frame number, and work as and permitted by more uplinks When the HARQ process numbers for the uplink subframe #4 that A is obtained are x, the HARQ process numbers that can derive uplink subframe #5 are (x + 1), and can derive uplink subframe #6 HARQ process numbers be (x+2).In this case, terminal can use table I described in 5 derives HARQ process numbers.When the maximum value of HARQ process numbers is y, terminal can use " x mod (complementation fortune Calculating) y " determines the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #4, using " (x+1) mod y " determine uplink subframe #5's HARQ process numbers, and " (x+2) mod y " is used to determine the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #6.Here, y can be It is preset in base station and terminal.For example, base station can be by higher level signaling (for example, RRC signaling) to terminal notification y, and y can To be 16.
Alternatively, it is possible to by more uplinks permit A come be sent in by more uplinks license scheduling it is multiple on The actual value of the HARQ process numbers of beginning uplink subframe (for example, uplink subframe #4) in uplink subframe, and And (for example, more uplinks permit B and C) can be permitted to send to starting UL subframe by corresponding more uplinks Offset (hereinafter referred to as " the H of the HARQ process numbers of frame (for example, uplink subframe #4)off”).In this case, Terminal can use HoffWith the uplink subframe by multiple uplink subframes of more uplinks license scheduling The HARQ process numbers of (for example, uplink subframe #4) derive remaining subframe (for example, uplink subframe #5 and #6) HARQ process numbers.Here, HoffCan be set to 0,1,2 ..., NSF-1。
As the H that the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #4 include for x and more uplinks license BoffIt, can when being 1 To derive the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #5 as (x+1).When the HARQ subframe numbers of uplink subframe #4 are x and more The H that uplink license C includesoffWhen being 2, the HARQ process numbers that can derive uplink subframe #6 are (x+2).It is another Aspect, when the maximum value of HARQ process numbers is y, terminal can use " x mod y " determine uplink subframe #4's HARQ process numbers use " (x+Hoff(that is, 1)) mod y " determine the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #5, and use “(x+Hoff(that is, 2)) mod y " determine the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #6.
When using more uplink license types 2, HARQ process numbers can be included in the list of more uplink licenses In only field.In fig.15, the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #4 can be included in the independent of more uplink licenses In field A, the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #5 can be included in the independent field B of more uplink licenses, and And the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #6 can be included in the independent field C of more uplink licenses.Therefore, terminal Independent field A, B and C can be based respectively on to identify the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #4 to #6.
Permit to dispatch by more uplinks alternatively, it is possible to only send by the independent field A that more uplinks are permitted Multiple uplink subframes in beginning uplink subframe (for example, uplink subframe #4) HARQ process numbers, and And the HARQ process numbers of remaining uplink subframe (for example, uplink subframe #5 and #6) can not pass through corresponding independent word Section (for example, individually field B and C) is sent.In this case, terminal can permit A to identify based on more uplinks The HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #4, and use the HARQ for starting uplink subframe (for example, uplink subframe #4) Process number derives the HARQ process numbers of remaining uplink subframe (for example, uplink subframe #5 and #6).
HARQ process numbers can increase according to the increase of UL subframe frame number, and work as and permitted by more uplinks Independent field A (or public field) obtain uplink subframe #4 HARQ process numbers be x when, uplink can be derived The HARQ process numbers of subframe #5 are (x+1), and the HARQ process numbers that can derive uplink subframe #6 are (x+2).Meanwhile When the maximum value of HARQ process numbers is y, terminal can use " x mod y " to determine the HARQ processes of uplink subframe #4 Number, determine the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #5 using " (x+1) mod y ", and " (x+2) mod y " is used to determine The HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #6.
Alternatively, it is possible to it is sent by independent field A (or public field) that more uplinks are permitted by more uplinks The beginning uplink subframe (for example, uplink subframe #4) in multiple uplink subframes that link license is dispatched The actual value of HARQ process numbers, and can be permitted by more uplinks corresponding independent field (for example, individually field A, B and C) come send to start uplink subframe (for example, uplink subframe #4) HARQ process numbers offset (hereinafter It is referred to as " Hoff”)。
In this case, terminal can use HoffWith multiple uplink subframes by the license scheduling of more uplinks The HARQ process numbers of beginning uplink subframe (for example, uplink subframe #4) in the middle derive remaining subframe (on for example, Uplink subframe #5 and #6) HARQ process numbers.Here, HoffCan be set to 0,1,2 ..., NSF-1。
When the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #4 are x and the H that is included in independent field BoffIt, can be with when being 1 The HARQ process numbers for deriving uplink subframe #5 are (x+1).When the HARQ subframe numbers of uplink subframe #4 for x and are wrapped Include the H in independent field CoffWhen being 2, the HARQ process numbers that can derive uplink subframe #6 are (x+2).On the other hand, When the maximum value of HARQ process numbers is y, terminal can use " x mod y " determine the HARQ processes of uplink subframe #4 Number, use " (x+Hoff(that is, 1)) mod y " determine the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #5, and use " (x+Hoff (that is, 2)) mod y " determine the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #6.
Based on said program, base station can be to terminal notification HARQ process numbers, and terminal can be more based on being included in Information in uplink license identifies HARQ process numbers.
■RV
When using more uplink license types 1, RV can be included in more uplink licenses.In fig.15, RV can be included in each of more uplink license A, B and C.Therefore, terminal can be based respectively on more uplinks A, B and C is permitted to identify the RV of uplink subframe #4 to #6.
When using more uplink license types 2, RV can be included in the license of more uplinks public field or In independent field.In fig.15, when in uplink subframe #4 to #6 use identical RV when, corresponding RV can by including In the public field of more uplinks license.Therefore, terminal can be identified based on public field for uplink subframe # 4 to #6 RV.Alternatively, when using different RV in each uplink subframe #4 to #6, for UL subframe The RV of frame #4 can be included in independent field A, can be included in independent field for the RV of uplink subframe #5 B, and can be included in independent field C for the RV of uplink subframe #6.Therefore, terminal can be based respectively on individually Field A, B and C identify the RV of uplink subframe #4 to #6.
Alternatively, it is possible to RV is derived based on NDI.In this case, RV can be not included in more uplinks In license.For example, RV variation sequence can be it is predefined, when NDI be " 0 " when can according to predefined variation sequence come RV is set, and RV can be initialized as to initial value (for example, " 0 ") when NDI is " 1 ".It is in predefined variation sequence " In the case of 0 → 2 → 1 ", once more uplinks license (or independent field) of the NDI including being arranged to " 0 " is received, The RV of uplink subframe can be then set as to 2, and if more uplinks license of the NDI including being arranged to " 0 " (or independent field) is received twice, then can be set as the RV of uplink subframe " 1 ".
In the case where using more uplink license types 1, when more uplinks license A includes being arranged to " 1 " During NDI, the RV of uplink subframe #4 can be set as initial value (for example, " 0 ") by terminal.When more uplinks permit B packets When including the NDI for being arranged to " 0 ", the RV of uplink subframe #5 can be set as " 2 " by terminal.When more uplinks permit C During NDI including being arranged to " 0 ", the RV of uplink subframe #6 can be set as " 2 " by terminal.
In the case where using more uplink license types 2, when independent field A includes being arranged to " 1 " NDI when, The RV of uplink subframe #4 can be set as initial value (for example, " 0 ") by terminal.When independent field B includes being arranged to " 0 " NDI when, the RV of uplink subframe #5 can be set as by terminal " 2 ".When independent field C includes being arranged to " 0 " NDI When, the RV of uplink subframe #6 can be set as by terminal " 2 ".
Based on said program, base station can be to terminal notification RV, and terminal can be based on being included in more uplinks Information in license identifies RV.
■NSF
NSFIt can indicate the quantity of the uplink subframe by the license scheduling of more uplinks.NSFIt can be set to low In MSF
When using more uplink license types 1, NSFIt can be included in more uplink licenses.In fig.15, NSFIt can be included in each in more uplink license A, B and C.Alternatively, due to being directed to uplink subframe # 4 to #6 are configured identical NSF, so NSFIt can be only included in more uplink license A.Alternatively, NSFIt can not It is included in each in more uplink license A, B and C.In this case, NSFCan in base station and terminal quilt It is default.When using more uplink license types 2, NSFIt can be included in the public field of more uplink licenses. In Figure 15, NSFIt can be included in the public field of more uplinks license of scheduling uplink subframe #4 to #6.
It can be based on HARQ process numbers and NDI rather than NSFTo derive by the UL subframe of more uplinks license scheduling The quantity of frame.In this case, NSFIt can be not included in the license of more uplinks.
For example, it can be derived based on effective HARQ process numbers by the uplink subframe of more uplinks license scheduling Quantity.In fig.15, when the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #4 are x, the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #5 are (x+1), when the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #6 are (x+2), the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #7 are x, uplink The HARQ process numbers of link subframe #4 can be identical with the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #7.That is, work as MSFFor 4 simultaneously And NSFWhen being 3, more uplink licenses can include the field of the HARQ process numbers of instruction uplink subframe #7.In this feelings Under condition, the HARQ process numbers of uplink subframe #7 can be configured in the uplink subframe #4 to #6 with before by base station The HARQ process numbers (for example, x, (x+1) or (x+2)) of one uplink subframe are identical.
When exist with identical HARQ process numbers multiple uplink subframes when, terminal can will have identical HARQ into The first uplink subframe in time domain in multiple uplink subframes of journey number is determined as efficient uplink subframe.Cause This, the uplink subframe #4 before uplink subframe #7 can be determined as efficient uplink subframe by terminal.Terminal can To determine that uplink subframe #4 to #6 is permitted to dispatch and uplink subframe #7 is not by more uplinks by more uplinks Permit to dispatch in road.In this case, since the efficient uplink subframe determined based on HARQ process numbers is uplink Subframe #4 to #6, so terminal can determine more uplink license 3 uplink subframes of scheduling.
Alternatively, it is possible to it is derived based on HARQ process numbers and NDI by the uplink of more uplinks license scheduling The quantity of subframe.That is, it is further contemplated that NDI permits the uplink subframe dispatched to derive by more uplinks Quantity.
In the examples described above, it can identify and be removed on first in multiple uplink subframes with identical HARQ process numbers The NDI of at least one uplink subframe except uplink subframe.Terminal can determine the NDI's for including being arranged to " 0 " Uplink subframe is permitted to dispatch by more uplinks, and determines the uplink subframe for including being arranged to the NDI of " 1 " Do not permit to dispatch by more uplinks.For example, when the NDI for being used for uplink subframe #7 is arranged to " 0 ", terminal can be with Determine that uplink subframe #7 permits to dispatch by more uplinks.Therefore, terminal can determine more uplink license scheduling 4 Uplink subframe.Alternatively, if the NDI for uplink subframe #7 is arranged to " 1 ", terminal can determine Uplink subframe #7 does not permit to dispatch by more uplinks.Therefore, terminal can determine more uplink license 3 uplinks of scheduling Link subframe.
Based on said program, base station can be permitted the number of the uplink subframe of scheduling to terminal notification by more uplinks Amount, and terminal can be identified based on the information in more uplink licenses is included in by the license scheduling of more uplinks The quantity of uplink subframe.
■ l, k, i
L can represent the sending time of more uplink licenses and in multiple uplinks by the license scheduling of more uplinks Interval between the sending time of the first uplink subframe (for example, starting uplink subframe) in way frame.L can be with It is equal to or greater than zero integer.For example, l can be set to 4.
L can be sent to terminal in step S1600 via higher level signaling (for example, RRC signaling).Alternatively, When using more uplink license types 1,1 can be included in more uplink licenses.In fig.15, l can distinguish It is included in each in more uplink license A, B and C.Alternatively, due to being directed to uplink subframe #4 to #6 Identical 1 is configured, so 1 can be included in multiple uplink subframes for being dispatched by the license of more uplinks In the more uplinks license A for starting uplink subframe (for example, uplink subframe #4).Permit when using more uplinks During type 2, l can be included in the public field of more uplink licenses.In fig.15, l can be included in for In the public field of more uplinks license of uplink subframe #4 to #6.
Meanwhile it can usually be permitted by the more uplinks sent by subframe #n come scheduling uplink subframe # (n+l) To # (n+l+ (NSF- 1) transmission).However, due to network environment (for example, subframe structure etc.), uplink subframe #'s (n+l) Sending may not permit to dispatch by the more uplinks sent by subframe #n.For example, by the license of more uplinks to The scheduling of uplink subframe may be delayed by k.
In this case, k can indicate that dispatch delay deviates.When sending more uplinks licenses by subframe #n, k It can indicate subframe # (n+l) and the practical offset started between uplink subframe (for example, subframe # (n+l+k)).Namely It says, k can be the dispatch delay offset from subframe # (n+l).K may be greater than or null integer.The maximum value of k may It can be restricted.For example, the maximum value of k can be 8 or 16.
When using more uplink license types 1, k can be included in more uplink licenses.In fig.15, k It can be respectively included in each in more uplink license A, B and C.Alternatively, due to being directed to UL subframe Frame #4 to #6 sets identical k, so k can be included in for by multiple UL subframes of more uplinks license scheduling In more uplinks license A of beginning uplink subframe (for example, uplink subframe #4) in frame.When using more uplinks During link license type 2, k can be included in the public field of more uplink licenses.In fig.15, k can by including In the public field permitted for more uplinks of uplink subframe #4 to #6.
Meanwhile can the time using the license of more uplinks dynamically be set based on above-mentioned k.
Figure 17 is the concept map of the 3rd embodiment for the subframe for showing the scheduling in communication network.
With reference to figure 17, in unlicensed band, radio frames can include 10 subframes.For example, radio frames can include six A uplink subframe, three downlink subframes and a special subframe.Base station can send more uplinks by subframe #0 Link permits to send with the uplink of scheduling subframe #5 and #6.P (that is, 1+k) can indicate permitting to adjust by more uplinks Beginnings uplink subframe in multiple uplink subframes of degree with by its send the subframe of more uplinks licenses it Between interval.P can changeably be set.If l is fixed value, P can be indicated by l and k.For example, as l=4, P can With by l=4 and k=1 instructions.Alternatively, if l is variable value, P can be represented by l.That is, l can be set It is 5.
Meanwhile i can indicate the index of each in the uplink subframe by the license scheduling of more uplinks.I can To be arranged to 0,1 ..., NSF-1.For example, in the uplink subframe by the license scheduling of more uplinks, for the The i of one uplink subframe (for example, starting uplink subframe) can be set to " 0 ", for the second uplink subframe I can be set to " 1 ", and " N is can be set to for the i of last uplink subframeSF-1”。
When using more uplink license types 1, i can be included in more uplink licenses.In fig.15, i It can be included in each in more uplink license A, B and C.For example, more uplink license A can include being set The i of " 0 " is set to, more uplink license B can include being arranged to the i of " 0 ", and more uplinks license C can include It is arranged to the i of " 0 ".Alternatively, i can be not included in each during more uplinks permit A, B and C.At this In the case of kind, terminal can derive i according to ordering of sub-frames.
When using more uplink license types 2, i can be included in the independent field of more uplink licenses. In fig.15, i can be included in each in independent field A, B and C of more uplink licenses.For example, independent word Section A can include being arranged to the i of " 0 ", and independent field B can include being arranged to the i of " 1 ", and individually field C can be wrapped Include the i for being arranged to " 2 ".
Meanwhile base station can using l, k and i come indicate by more uplinks permit (alternatively, public field, individually Field) scheduling subframe numbers, and terminal can using l, k and i come identify by more uplinks license scheduling subframe numbers (or Person, public field, independent field).In fig.15, when using more uplink license types 1, more uplink license A can With include being arranged to the k of " 0 " and be arranged to " 0 " i (alternatively, be arranged to the l of " 4 ", be arranged to " 0 " k and Be arranged to the i of " 0 "), more uplinks license B can include being arranged to the k of " 1 " and be arranged to " 0 " i (alternatively, It is arranged to the l of " 4 ", be arranged to the k of " 1 " and is arranged to the i of " 0 "), and more uplinks license C can include It is arranged to the k of " 2 " and is arranged to the i of " 0 " (alternatively, being arranged to the l of " 4 ", being arranged to the k of " 2 " and be set I for " 0 ").In this case, based on l, k and i, terminal can identify that uplink subframe #4 permits A by more uplinks Scheduling, uplink subframe #5 are dispatched, and uplink subframe #6 permits C by more uplinks by more uplinks license B Scheduling.
In fig.15, when using more uplink license types 2, public field can include being arranged to the k of " 0 " (alternatively, being arranged to " 4 " l and be arranged to the k of " 0 "), independent field A can include being arranged to the i of " 0 ", independent word Section B can include being arranged to the l of " 1 ", and individually field C can include being arranged to the l of " 2 ".In this case, base In l, k and i, terminal can identify that uplink subframe #4 is dispatched by public field and independent field A, uplink subframe #5 by Public field and independent field B scheduling, and uplink subframe #6 is dispatched by public field and independent field C.Alternatively, Each in independent field A, B and C can not include i.In this case, terminal can derive i according to ordering of sub-frames, and And it is identified by the uplink subframe of each independent field scheduling based on l, k and the i of derivation.
That is, when sending more uplinks licenses by subframe #n, can permit adjust by more uplinks The subframe # (n+l+k+i) of degree.If radio frames include 10 subframes, terminal can be known based on " n+l+k+i mod 10 " Not by the subframe of more uplinks license scheduling.
Based on said program, base station can be to terminal notification l, k and i, and terminal can be based on being included in uplink Road license in l, k and i come determine will by more uplinks permit dispatch subframe numbers.
■ length informations
It can changeably be set by the length of the uplink subframe of more uplinks license scheduling.For example, uplink The length of way frame can changeably be set to perform channel access process.
Permit when by more uplinks come when dispatching multiple uplink subframes, length information includes multiple UL subframes The starting position of beginning uplink subframe in frame and the end position for terminating uplink subframe, and can include multiple The starting position of each and end position in uplink subframe.
Uplink subframe opens indicating in the multiple uplink subframes dispatched by the license of more uplinks Beginning position can be referred to as " length type with the length information of at least one of the end position of end uplink subframe 1”.Indicate by more uplinks license scheduling multiple uplink subframes in each uplink subframe starting position and The length information of at least one of end position can be referred to as " length type 2 ".
It can be as follows by the starting position of the uplink subframe of " length type 1 " instruction.
