Detailed Description
As previously mentioned, URLLC traffic requires higher reliability and lower latency compared to, for example, enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) traffic. Therefore, in order to meet the latency requirement of URLLC service, it is necessary to reduce User Equipment (UE) and gNB packet processing time as much as possible. It is also important to meet latency requirements without significantly increasing the complexity and power consumption of modem chipset design in the UE or the gNB. In this regard, the inventors have recognized that one of the most challenging from a latency perspective is the preparation time required for uplink transmission from the reception of an Uplink (UL) grant to a transport block.
Thus, embodiments of the present invention take advantage of the fact that: the client device may prepare the uplink transmission for retransmission of the transport block (when such retransmission is needed). Thus, the uplink preparation time for retransmission of transport blocks may be significantly reduced. Embodiments of the present invention also relate, mutatis mutandis, to corresponding Downlink (DL) transmission and retransmission of transport blocks performed by a network access node.

During the processing time for the first downlink transmission, the network access node 300 stores a version of the copy of the transport block prepared for the first downlink transmission. Thus, the network access node 300 may perform the second downlink transmission, i.e. the retransmission, by sending a redundant version of the stored copy of the prepared transport block in the downlink data channel. Obviously, further retransmissions of the prepared version of the stored copy of the transport block may be performed. As previously described, in a 5G system, the transmission request for initial transmission may be a request from a higher layer to send data to the client device. The transmission request for retransmission may be a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) transmitted from the client device 100 in order to request retransmission of a transport block when reception failure is detected in the CRC check, for example.
Furthermore, the performance of the first downlink transmission by the network access node 300 may mean a first time instance T after receiving the transmission request 5042:1The transport block is transmitted. Accordingly, performing the second downlink transmission by the network access node 300 may mean a second time instance T after receiving the transmission request 5042:2The transport block is transmitted. In an embodiment of the invention, the first time instance T is, respectively2:1Is a first preparation time N2:1And a second time instance T, and2:2is the second preparation time N2:2As a function of (c).
A transport block in this context may be considered as information to be transmitted over a radio channel. Thus, a different encoded version of the transport block, i.e. the redundancy version, is sent in the initial transmission compared to the retransmission of the transport block. A transport block may be generated in a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer by concatenating Radio Link Control (RLC) Packet Data Units (PDUs) from different resource blocks.
Fig. 5 illustrates a wireless communication system 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The wireless communication system 500 includes a client device 100 and a network access node 300 configured to operate in the wireless communication system 500. For simplicity, the wireless communication system 500 shown in fig. 5 includes only one client device 100 and one network access node 300. However, the wireless communication system 500 may include any number of client devices 100 and any number of network access nodes 300 without departing from the scope of the present invention.
In the wireless communication system 500, as shown in fig. 5, the client device 100 is configured to perform uplink initial transmission and retransmission of one or more transport blocks 520 to the network access node 300. Accordingly, the network access node 300 is configured to perform downlink initial transmission and retransmission of one or more transport blocks 540 to the client device 100.
Fig. 6 illustrates the overall latency considerations for transport block transmission by describing the communication between the client device 100 and the network access node 300. In fig. 6, an initial transmission of a transport block and one retransmission of the transport block are illustrated. However, within the scope of the invention, more than one retransmission of a transport block may be performed. Furthermore, the communication shown in fig. 6 is conducted in the context of a 3GPP NR system, hence the terminology is used such that the UE corresponds to the client device 100 and the gNB corresponds to the network access node 300. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
In step I of fig. 6, data or information may be used for uplink transmission at the UE. Therefore, the latency considerations in step I first involve the UE Scheduling Request (SR) processing, i.e. preparing for transmission of the SR and determining when the SR may be transmitted to the gNB. Second, the SR transmission alignment delay is added to the overall delay. The latter delay relates to the fact that the gNB monitors only after the SR in the predefined symbol. Therefore, when the UE has made a decision to send the SR to the gNB, the UE must wait until the next transmission opportunity to send the SR to the gNB.
In step II in fig. 6, the SR duration is shown, and the latency is related to the time it takes to transmit the SR from the UE to the gNB in the PUCCH.
In step III in fig. 6, the first latency consideration involves the gNB SR processing, which is the time it takes to process the SR, decide the PUSCH grant, schedule and encode by the gNB once it has been fully received. The gbb SR processing time may vary significantly depending on the load and implementation of the cell of the gbb. The second latency consideration in step III is PDCCH transmission alignment, which involves the fact that the UE monitors the PDCCH only with respect to predefined symbols. When the gNB makes its scheduling decision, the gNB must wait until the next PDCCH transmission opportunity to send a grant to the UE. Sometimes PDCCH blocking occurs, which means that the gNB must wait until PDCCH blocking is released before sending a grant.
In step IV of fig. 6, the PDCCH duration is shown and the delay is related to the time it takes to send a transmission grant from the gNB to the UE in the PDCCH.
In step V of FIG. 6, upon receiving authorization in the PDCCH, the UE responds to the received subtendgrant for initial transmission by the gNB prepares data information into a transport block. In this step, a first preparation time N for preparing an initial transport block2:1Contributing to the delay. First preparation time N2:1Can be seen as the time from the end of PDCCH reception at the UE until the earliest possible time that PUSCH can be transmitted. In the 3GPP NR specification TS38.214, the maximum allowed PUSCH preparation time is specified in terms of OFDM symbols. For active UE cap #2, N2 is a {5,5.5,11} OFDM symbol for a {15,30,60} kHz subcarrier spacing. Another factor contributing to the overall latency in step V is the PUSCH transmission alignment, which is the time between the PUSCH having been assembled, encoded, and ready for transmission. Sometimes, it is assumed that PUSCH may be at first preparation time N2:1Immediately thereafter, i.e. the time equals zero and does not introduce any additional delay.
In step V, the UE may also store the redundancy version of the copy of the transport block prepared for the initial transmission in a transmission buffer of the UE for possible retransmission of the transport block.
In step VI in fig. 6, the PUSCH duration for the initial transmission of a transport block is shown and is related to the time it takes to send the transport block from the UE to the gNB in the PUSCH.
In step VII in fig. 6, the gNB PUSCH processing must be considered in the overall latency. The gNB PUSCH processing latency is the time it takes for the gNB to process the PUSCH once it is received from the UE. In case of transmission errors, a retransmission grant is scheduled. Thus, the processing time is divided into two components, first the PUSCH decoding, for which the duration of N1 symbols is assumed, i.e. it is assumed to be the same as the PDSCH decoding on the UE side. Second is scheduling for which two values similar to those for PDSCH scheduling are assumed. N1 is a specified maximum UE processing time for PDSCH processing based on UE capability #2 and may be predefined, for example, as defined in 3GPP TS 38.214.
In step VIII in fig. 6, the transmission of a retransmission grant from the gNB to the UE in the PDCCH is shown. The retransmission may be indicated in a dedicated field of DCI included in the PDCCH.
In step IX in fig. 6, upon receiving the PDCCH and the UE determining that retransmission is requested, the UE prepares for retransmission of the transport block previously sent in step VI. In this step, the second preparation time N2:2Facilitating latency, wherein a second preparation time N according to an embodiment of the invention2:2Shorter than the first preparation time N2:1. Second preparation time N2:2Can be seen as the time from the end of PDCCH reception at the UE until the earliest possible time that PUSCH can be transmitted. The second preparation time N may be achieved by the UE sending a stored version of the copy of the transport block in step V2:2Shorter than the first preparation time N2:1. Another factor contributing to the overall delay in step IX is the PUSCH transmission alignment, which is the time between PUSCH has been assembled, encoded, and ready for transmission to the gNB.
In step X of fig. 6, the PUSCH duration for retransmission of a transport block is shown, which is the duration of retransmission of a transport block from UE to gNB in PUSCH.
In step XI in fig. 6, the gNB PUSCH processing must be considered in the overall latency. Typically, the gbb processes the PUSCH and, assuming correct decoding, the decoded data is fed to higher layers for further processing. It should be appreciated that the gNB PUSCH processing must also be considered for the overall delay through the RAN in steps I to XI.
Fig. 7 shows a flow chart of a method 210 according to another embodiment of the invention. The description of this embodiment is also made in the context of 3GPP NR, which means that the UE corresponds to the client device 100 and the gNB corresponds to the network access node 300.
In step 212 in fig. 7, the UE monitors DCI of the PDCCH.
In step 214 in fig. 7, at a first time instance T-T0, the UE detects DCI in the PDCCH. The detected DCI includes an uplink grant determined by the UE. The UL grant typically includes information on time-frequency resources and modulation and coding to be used for uplink data transmission.
In step 216 in fig. 7, the UE obtains information on whether the uplink grant is associated with an initial uplink transmission or a retransmission of the transport block. This information may be obtained from a "new data field indication" in the DCI indicating whether new data or authorized retransmission is possible.
In step 218 in fig. 7, the UE performs preparation of a transport block according to the obtained DCI and transmits the transport block on the PUSCH at a second time instance T0+ x, where time x is a function of a preparation time value, typically expressed in OFDM symbols. If it is an initial transmission of a transport block, a first preparation time value N is used2:1And if it is a retransmission of the transport block, using a second preparation time value N2:2
According to an embodiment of the invention, the first preparation time value N2:1Greater than a second preparation time value N2:2I.e. if it is the first transmission, the allowed preparation time is longer than if it is a retransmission of an already transmitted transport block, e.g. due to a failed decoding in the gNB. According to a further embodiment of the invention, the second preparation time N2:2Shorter than the first preparation time N2:1So that the second preparation time N2:2Is less than the first preparation time N2:1And in some cases less than the first preparation time N2:160% of the total.
However, in the embodiment of the present invention, the second preparation time N2:2May alternatively be greater than the first preparation time N2:1. This may be the case, for example, when a retransmission grant requires a large number of re-encoding of a data block. This may occur when the gbb requires a significantly lower coding rate than first expected to perform reliable retransmissions. Another non-limiting example may be when the gNB configures retransmission on another bandwidth portion or another carrier frequency compared to the initial transmission.
According to a further embodiment of the invention, the first preparation time N2:1And a second preparation time N2:2At least one of which depends on the size of the transport block to be transmitted. For example, if a transport block is smaller than a first threshold, i.e. the entire transport block can be assembled in one code block group, the second preparationTime N2:2The value may be the first preparation time N2:180% of the value, while if the transport block is large and comprises several code block groups, and only the code block groups are retransmitted, the first preparation time N2:1And a second preparation time N2:2The relationship between the values may be different from the first case, for example 60%.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first preparation time N2:1And a second preparation time N2:2Depends on the subcarrier spacing used or configured for uplink transmission, where subcarrier spacing is denoted as μ, which corresponds to a scaling of the reference subcarrier factor, i.e. Δ f ═ 2μ·15[kHz]Where, μ ═ 0 means that the (reference) subcarrier spacing is 15kHz, and μ ═ 1 means that the subcarrier spacing is 30kHz, and the like. As a non-limiting example, for a 15kHz subcarrier spacing, a first preparation time N2:1The value may be 5 and the second preparation time N2:2The value may be 2.5 expressed in OFDM symbols. For a 30kHz subcarrier spacing, a first preparation time N2:1The value may be 5 and the second preparation time N2:2The value may be 3 expressed in OFDM symbols.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the first preparation time N2:1And a second preparation time N2:2Based on the timing capabilities of the client device 100. Second preparation time N2:2The values may be used for only certain timing capabilities. Thus, for some client device capabilities, only the first preparation time N2:1The value applies to first transmission and retransmission, while for other client device capabilities, the first preparation time N2:1Value for initial transmission, and a second preparation time N2:2The value is used for retransmission. Timing capabilities are typically the possibility of a client device preparing for uplink transmissions. Since the preparation time is directly related to complexity and processing power, some client device capabilities that do not require low latency may have relaxed timing capabilities, and thus the modem chipset may be less complex and less expensive, while other client devices or modems are designed for low latency applications, andand thus may be more complex and expensive.
It should be appreciated that the first preparation time N2:1And a second preparation time N2:2At least one of the above parameters may depend on one or more of the above parameters: a subcarrier spacing value for uplink transmission of a transport block, a size of the transport block, and a timing capability. It is also recognized that the first preparation time N2:1And a second preparation time N2:2It may be expressed in the number of OFDM symbols, for example, in LTE and NR using OFDM-based transmission techniques, but may be expressed in time units in other embodiments. Furthermore, a first preparation time N for the network access node 3002:1And a second preparation time N2:2It may also depend on one or more of the above parameters: a subcarrier spacing value for uplink transmission of a transport block, a size of the transport block, and a timing capability.
Furthermore, a first preparation time N for the client device 1002:1And a second preparation time N2:2It may also depend on or be a function of other parameters, and may be expressed in some embodiments as follows, defined in terms of time after receiving the uplink grant. First uplink symbol in PUSCH allocation of transport block (including by slot offset K)2And the start of the scheduling DCI and the length indicate the SLIV defined DM-RS and include the effect of timing advance) is no earlier than the symbol L2Wherein L is2Defined as the next uplink symbol whose CP starts after the end of the reception of the last symbol of the PDCCH carrying DCI scheduling PUSCH, the UE will transmit a transport block.
Thus, performing the first uplink transmission by the client device 100 includes a first time instance T after receiving the transmission grant 5022:1To transmit a transport block, wherein a first time instance T2:1Given by:
T2:1=max((N2:1+d2,1)(2048+144)·κ2·Tc,d2,2) Formula (1)
Where max is a function of the maximum value, N2:1For the first preparation time, d2,1For the indicator function, κ is the slot offset, μ is the subcarrier spacing, TcIs the chip time period, and d2,2Is the switching time.
Further, performing the second uplink transmission by the client device 100 includes a second time instance T after receiving the transmission grant 5022:2To transmit a transport block, wherein the second time instance T2:2Given by:
T2:2=max((N2:2+d2,1)(2048+144)·κ2·Tc,d2,2) Formula (2)
Where max is a function of the maximum value, N2:2For a second preparation time, d2,1For the indicator function, κ is the slot offset, μ is the subcarrier spacing, TcIs the chip time period, and d2,2Is the switching time.
Maximum function in the formulae according to formulae 1 and 2 for a first time instance T2:1And (N)2:1+d2,1)(2048+144)·κ2·TcOr d2,2Is related to the maximum value of; and for a second time instance T2:2And (N)2:2+d2,1)(2048+144)·κ2·TcOr d2,2Is related to the maximum value of (c). Naturally, the first preparation time and the second preparation time may be represented herein with the notation used here, i.e. N2:1And N2:2Different.

A non-limiting example of the mentioned section 6.4 of TS38.214 is given below, where an exemplary addition to the specification is given in bold italics, i.e. the text "furthermore, for UE processing capability 3, N2Depending on whether it is the first transmission of a transport block or the retransmission of a transport block.
