  • the present invention relates to a method and an arrangement in a network communication node.
  • the invention relates to adapting an amount of periodic resources within a radio communication network.

  • UE User Equipment
  • UE User Equipment
  • cellular mobile communication networks of today user equipments are assigned periodic resources for control signaling to the radio base stations. This is the case for 3G Long Term Evolution (LTE) Rel 8 where user equipments may be assigned multiple periodic resources but also in other types of systems such as Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) and/or the like.
  • WCDMA Wideband Code Division Multiple Access
  • GSM Global System for Mobile communication
  • a network communications node such as a radio base station or a network controller node, in the communications network controls an amount of radio channel resources of a radio control channel of one ore more cells in the communications network.
  • a control region of the amount of radio channel resources defines an amount of periodic resources that is semi statically configured to user equipments in the cells and are allocated to be used by user equipments within the cells for a certain type of control signaling, which control signaling is transmitted from the user equipment with a certain periodicity, e.g. the user equipment transmits the control signalling every 10th ms.
  • CSI reporting resources are periodic resources assigned to user equipments on the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).
  • a resource unit is a resource block comprising of 7, or 6, Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) symbols in time, a slot of length 0.5 ms, and 12 sub-carriers, 180 KHz, in frequency.
  • Resource allocation is typically done for resource block pairs, 1 resource block pair being 1 subframe, that is, 2 slots, in time and 12 sub-carriers in frequency.
  • PUCCH occupies resource blocks on the edge of the uplink frequency spectrum. Multiple user equipments may be allocated resources on the same PUCCH resource block by utilizing code multiplexing.
  • the CSI reporting resource is used by the user equipments to report measured downlink Channel Quality Indicators (CQI), Rank Indicators (Rl) and Precoding Matrix Indicators (PMI). This information may be utilized for e.g. for downlink channel dependent scheduling, downlink link adaptation and multi antenna transmissions, for example, MIMO.
  • CSI information may also be reported a- periodically on the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).
  • the resources for a-periodic reporting on PUSCH are dynamically allocated by the base station, not semi-statically configured, that is, continuously reported and allocated for the present user equipments not also for future user equipments or usage.
  • CSI reports may include frequency selective information or only wideband information. To report frequency selective information periodically on PUCCH requires multiple reports. With a-periodic reporting on PUSCH, the frequency selective information is reported in one report.
  • SR resource is a periodic single bit resource used by the user equipment to indicate buffer status, i.e. that the user equipment has data to transmit.
  • the SR resources are located on the PUCCH.
  • Sounding resources are used to transmit reference symbols over the entire or parts of the uplink bandwidth.
  • Sounding reference signals may provide the radio base station, such as an eNodeB, with information about channel quality. This information may be utilized e.g. for uplink channel dependent scheduling, uplink link adaptation, and also for downlink beam forming in case of reciprocal channels as in time division duplex (TDD).
  • TDD time division duplex
  • the sounding reference signals are transmitted on the last symbol in the subframe.
  • the multiplexing of user equipments may be done by frequency domain multiplexing and by code division multiplexing.
  • the periodic resources are semi statically configured to a user equipment. That means that the periodic resource is valid until further notice and a reconfiguration command is needed to change the configuration.
  • the reconfiguration usually takes time and cost in radio resources.
  • configuration and reconfiguration are done using radio resource control (R C) signalling.
  • R C radio resource control
  • the common solution is to decide resources on a number of supported user equipments and is done for the entire network or for subparts of big areas of the network.
  • the problem with the existing solution is that the configuration may count on the worse case scenario allocating unnecessary large amount of radio channel resources to the control region, or that pre-allocation does not cover the worst case, i.e. do not support enough user equipments, and the system has to reconfigure user equipments when more user equipments enter, that is, that continuous reconfiguration is required with increased signaling.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un procédé et un agencement (500) dans un nœud de communication de réseau (13, 14) pour adapter une quantité de ressources périodiques. Les ressources périodiques sont configurées de façon semi-statique pour un équipement utilisateur (11, 12) dans une cellule (10) d'un réseau de radio-télécommunications (1). Le nœud de communication de réseau (13, 14) est inclus dans le réseau de radio-télécommunications (1) et commande une quantité de ressources de canal radio dans la cellule (10) d'un canal de commande radio. La quantité de ressources périodiques est définie comme étant une taille d'une région de commande, laquelle région de commande est au moins une partie de la quantité de ressources de canal radio. L'équipement utilisateur (11, 12) utilise un type de signalisation de commande spécifique sur le canal de commande radio. Le nœud de communication de réseau détermine une charge de trafic dans la cellule (10) et obtient une indication d'exigence de périodicité, laquelle indication est basée sur le type de signalisation de commande. Le nœud de communication de réseau détermine alors la taille de la région de commande sur la base de la charge de trafic déterminée dans la cellule (10) et de l'indication d'exigence de périodicité obtenue, et adapte ainsi la quantité de ressources périodiques pour la cellule (10).
