Description

Method and device used in terminal and base station for wireless communication

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for transmitting a radio signal in a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method and an apparatus for transmitting a radio signal in a wireless communication system supporting channel coding.

Background

In a conventional LTE (Long Term Evolution) system, Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) plays an important role in error checking and identification of a target receiver. The length of the CRC bits determines the false alarm probability of the error check and identification. Since the false alarm probability, especially the false alarm probability of the control channel, directly affects the performance and efficiency of the wireless communication system, controlling the false alarm probability to a sufficiently low level is one of the basic requirements of the 5G system design.

In a 5G system, the amount of control signaling received by a UE (User Equipment) per unit time may be larger than in a conventional LTE system, and therefore a lower probability of false alarm of the control channel is required. The most straightforward way to reduce the false alarm probability is to increase the length of the check bits (which may be CRC or Parity Code, etc.). However, this causes additional overhead and reduces the transmission efficiency of the control channel. How to reduce the false alarm probability of the control channel without reducing the transmission efficiency of the control channel is a problem to be solved.

Disclosure of Invention

The inventor finds that, on the premise of increasing the number of parity bits, if the increased parity bits are not directly transmitted, the constellation pattern used by the control channel is adjusted by using the increased parity bits, so that the transmission efficiency of the control channel is not reduced, and a lower false alarm probability caused by the increase of the number of parity bits can be obtained. The increased check bits can be recovered at the receiving end by trying all possible constellation patterns and finding the one with the maximum likelihood probability.

In view of the above discovery, the present invention discloses a solution. It should be noted that although the initial motivation of the present invention is for control channels, the present invention is also applicable to other physical layer channels. Without conflict, embodiments and features in embodiments in a first node of the present application may be applied to a second node and vice versa. The embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other arbitrarily without conflict.

As an example, compared with the conventional scheme, the invention has the following advantages:

a portion of the CRC bits are not taken as input to the channel encoder but are used to adjust the modulation constellation of the corresponding wireless signal. Compared with the conventional method in which all CRC bits are input to a channel encoder to be transmitted as redundancy, it is possible to reduce redundancy caused by the CRC bits in a corresponding wireless signal and improve transmission efficiency of the wireless signal.

Decreasing the false alarm probability of the control channel by increasing the length of the CRC bits. The added CRC bits are not directly transmitted in the wireless signal, but are reflected on the modulation constellation pattern of the wireless signal, so that no additional overhead is added, and the reduction of the transmission efficiency caused by the addition of the CRC bits is avoided while the lower false alarm probability is obtained.

The receiving end can recover the added CRC bits by trying all possible constellation patterns and finding out among them the one with the maximum likelihood probability. Since the decision on the constellation pattern benefits from the combining gain from combining over all transmitted symbols, it is ensured that the added CRC bits can be accurately recovered with a high probability.
