Description

  The present invention relates to a radio communication system, a terminal apparatus, and a base station apparatus, and more particularly to a radio communication system, a base station apparatus, a terminal apparatus, a radio communication method, and an integrated circuit related to machine type communication or inter-machine communication.

  In 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project), the W-CDMA system is standardized as a third generation cellular mobile communication system, and services are provided. Also, HSDPA with higher communication speed has been standardized and is being serviced.

  On the other hand, in 3GPP, standardization of the third generation radio access evolution (Long Term Evolution: LTE or Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access: EUTRA) has also been performed, and the LTE service has been started. An OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) scheme that is resistant to multipath interference and suitable for high-speed transmission is adopted as an LTE downlink communication scheme. Further, as an uplink communication scheme, a single carrier frequency division multiplexing SC-FDMA that can reduce the peak power to average power ratio (PAPR) of a transmission signal in consideration of the cost and power consumption of the mobile station apparatus. (Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access) DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) -spread OFDM system is adopted.

  In addition, 3GPP continues to discuss LTE-Advanced (or Advanced-EUTRA), a further evolution of LTE. In LTE-Advanced, it is assumed that communication at a maximum transmission rate of 1 Gbps or higher and 500 Mbps or higher of the uplink is performed using a band up to a maximum of 100 MHz bandwidth in the uplink and the downlink, respectively.

  In LTE-Advanced, it is considered to realize a maximum 100 MHz band by bundling a plurality of bands compatible with LTE so that LTE mobile station apparatuses can be accommodated. In LTE-Advanced, one band of 20 MHz or less of LTE is called a component carrier (Component Carrier: CC). The component carrier is also called a cell. Further, bundling a band of 20 MHz or less is called carrier aggregation (CA) (Non-patent Document 1).

  On the other hand, in LTE-Advanced, studies on cost reduction of mobile station apparatuses corresponding to specific categories such as machine type communication (MTC) or machine to machine communication (M2M) are performed. (Non-Patent Document 2). Hereinafter, the MTC / M2M mobile station apparatus or the MTC / M2M communication device is also referred to as MTCUE (Machine Type Communication User Equipment).

  In order to realize a low-cost MTCUE corresponding to the LTE standard and the LTE-Advanced standard, the transmission / reception bandwidth is narrowed, the number of antenna ports / RF chains is reduced, the transmission / reception data transfer rate is reduced, and the half-duplex frequency division is performed. Cost reduction methods such as adoption of a multiplex (Half-duplex Frequency Division Duplex) system, reduction of transmission / reception power, and extension of an intermittent reception interval have been proposed. In addition, as a method for realizing low-cost MTCUE, it has been proposed that reduction of maximum bandwidth of the transmission / reception RF circuit and transmission / reception baseband circuit of the MTCUE is effective.

  In addition, in MTC, not only cost reduction, but also coverage enhancement for extending the transmission / reception range of MTCUE is being studied. In order to extend the coverage, the base station apparatus repeatedly transmits downlink data or downlink signals to the MTCUE, and the MTCUE repeatedly transmits uplink data or uplink signals to the base station apparatus. (Non-patent Document 3).

  For example, the base station apparatus repeatedly transmits the physical broadcast channel PBCH to the MTCUE a plurality of times within 40 ms. In the random access procedure, the MTCUE repeatedly transmits the same random access preamble using a plurality of physical random access channels PRACH. Then, the base station apparatus that has received the random access preamble repeatedly transmits a random access response message. Note that the base station apparatus notifies the MTCUE in the cell using the broadcast channel BCH or notifies each MTCUE individually (Non-patent Document 3).

  For example, the number of repeated transmissions of the random access preamble or the number of repeated transmissions of the random access response message is reported on the broadcast channel BCH. In addition, the number of repeated transmissions of the random access preamble includes a plurality of types of repeated transmissions, and it has been considered that the MTCUE can select one number of repeated transmissions from a plurality of types of repeated transmissions.

  However, in repeated transmission (or reception) of data, if the number of repetitions is too large, a large amount of time is spent for one transmission / reception. If the number of repetitions is too small, the transmission / reception quality deteriorates. In order to efficiently perform transmission / reception by repetition, it is necessary to set the optimal number of repetitions by the MTCUE or the base station apparatus and manage the number of repetitions of the MTCUE and the base station apparatus.

  FIG. 6 is a protocol stack for handling control data of LTE mobile station apparatuses and base station apparatuses. FIG. 7 is a protocol stack for handling user data of an LTE mobile station apparatus and a base station apparatus. 6 and 7 will be described below.

  A physical layer (PHY layer) provides a transmission service to an upper layer using a physical channel. The PHY layer is connected to an upper medium access control layer (Medium Access Control layer: MAC layer) by a transport channel. Data moves between the MAC layer, the PHY layer, and the layer (layer) via the transport channel. Data transmission / reception is performed between the mobile station apparatus and the base station apparatus via a physical channel. Note that there may be a plurality of entities (entities) that perform roles in each hierarchy.

  The MAC layer maps various logical channels to various transport channels. The MAC layer is connected to an upper radio link control layer (Radio Link Control layer: RLC layer) through a logical channel. The logical channel is roughly classified according to the type of information to be transmitted, and is divided into a control channel for transmitting control information and a traffic channel for transmitting user information. The MAC layer has a function of controlling the PHY layer to perform intermittent transmission / reception (DRX / DTX), a function of notifying transmission power information, a function of performing HARQ control, and the like.

  The MAC layer also notifies the amount of data in the transmission buffer corresponding to each logical channel (buffer status report (BSR)), and makes a radio resource request for transmitting uplink data (scheduling) I have a request (Scheduling Request). The MAC layer executes a random access procedure when performing an initial access or a scheduling request.

  The RLC layer divides and concatenates data received from the upper layer, and adjusts the data size so that the lower layer can transmit data appropriately. The RLC layer also has a function for guaranteeing QoS (Quality of Service) required by each data. That is, the RLC layer has functions such as data retransmission control.

  A packet data convergence protocol layer (PDCP layer) has a header compression function for compressing unnecessary control information in order to efficiently transmit IP packets as user data in a wireless section. The PDCP layer also has a data encryption function.

  The radio resource control layer (Radio Resource Control layer: RRC layer) defines only control information. The RRC layer sets and resets a radio bearer (RB), and controls a logical channel, a transport channel, and a physical channel. The RB is divided into a signaling radio bearer (Signaling Radio Bearer: SRB) and a data radio bearer (Data Radio Bearer: DRB), and the SRB is used as a path for transmitting an RRC message as control information. DRB is used as a route for transmitting user information. Each RB is set between the RRC layers of the base station apparatus and the mobile station apparatus.

  The PHY layer corresponds to the physical layer of the first layer in the hierarchical structure of the generally known Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, and the MAC layer, RLC layer, and PDCP layer are OSI. The RRC layer corresponds to the data link layer, which is the second layer of the model, and the network layer, which is the third layer of the OSI model.

  A random access procedure will be described. The random access procedure includes two access procedures, a Contention based Random Access procedure (contention based random access procedure) and a Non-contention based Random Access procedure (non-contention based random access procedure) (Non-Patent Document 1).

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a Contention based Random Access procedure. The Contention based Random Access procedure is a random access that may compete (collision) between mobile station devices, and the Contention based Random Access procedure is at the time of initial access from a state in which the base station device is not connected (communication) This is performed for a scheduling request or the like when uplink data transmission is generated in the mobile station device while being connected to the base station device but being out of uplink synchronization.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a Non-contention based Random Access procedure. Non-contention based Random Access procedure is random access that does not cause contention between mobile station devices, and the base station device and the mobile station device are connected, but they move quickly when uplink synchronization is lost. In order to establish uplink synchronization between the station device and the base station device, the mobile station device performs random access when instructed by the base station device in a special case such as when handover or the transmission timing of the mobile station device is not effective. Start (Non-Patent Document 1). The Non-contention based Random Access procedure is instructed by an RRC (Radio Resource Control: Layer 3) layer message and physical downlink control channel PDCCH control data.

  The Contention based Random Access procedure will be briefly described with reference to FIG. First, the mobile station apparatus 1-1 transmits a random access preamble to the base station apparatus 5 (message 1: (1), step S1). Then, the base station device 5 that has received the random access preamble transmits a response to the random access preamble (random access response message) to the mobile station device 1-1 (message 2: (2), step S2). The mobile station apparatus 1-1 transmits an upper layer (Layer2 / Layer3) message based on the scheduling information included in the random access response message (message 3: (3), step S3). The base station device 5 transmits a contention confirmation message to the mobile station device 1-1 that has received the upper layer message of (3) (message 4: (4), step S4). Note that Contention based Random Access is also referred to as random preamble transmission.

  The non-contention based Random Access procedure will be briefly described with reference to FIG. First, the base station apparatus 5 notifies the mobile station apparatus 1-1 of the preamble number (or sequence number) and the random access channel number to be used (message 0: (1 '), step S11). The mobile station apparatus 1-1 transmits the random access preamble having the designated preamble number to the designated random access channel RACH (message 1: (2 '), step S12). Then, the base station device 5 that has received the random access preamble transmits a response to the random access preamble (random access response message) to the mobile station device 1-1 (message 2: (3 '), step S13). However, if the notified preamble number value is 0, the Contention based Random Access procedure is performed. Non-contention based Random Access is also referred to as dedicated preamble transmission.

  The connection procedure of the mobile station apparatus 1-1 to the base station apparatus 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the mobile station apparatus 1-1 acquires the system information of the base station apparatus 5 from the physical broadcast channel PBCH or the like, executes a random access procedure from the random access related information included in the system information, and Connect. The mobile station apparatus 1-1 generates a random access preamble from the random access related information in the system information. Then, the mobile station apparatus 1-1 transmits a random access preamble using the random access channel RACH (message 1: (1)).

  When the base station apparatus 5 detects the random access preamble from the mobile station apparatus 1-1, the base station apparatus 5 calculates a transmission timing shift amount between the mobile station apparatus 1-1 and the base station apparatus 5 from the random access preamble, and Layer2 Perform scheduling (designation of uplink radio resource position (position of physical uplink shared channel PUSCH), transmission format (message size), etc.) to transmit (L2) / Layer3 (L3) message, and Temporary C-RNTI (Cell -Radio Network Temporary Identity: mobile station apparatus identification information) is allocated, and a response (random access response message) addressed to the mobile station apparatus 1-1 that has transmitted the random access preamble of the random access channel RACH to the physical downlink control channel PDCCH. RA-RNTI (Random Access-Radio Network Temporary Identity: random access response identification information) is arranged, and transmission timing information, scheduling information, Temporary C-RNTI, and received random access preamble information are stored in the physical downlink shared channel PDSCH. The included random access response message is transmitted (message 2: (2)).

  When the mobile station apparatus 1-1 detects that the physical downlink control channel PDCCH has RA-RNTI, the mobile station apparatus 1-1 checks the content of the random access response message arranged in the physical downlink shared channel PDSCH, and transmits the transmitted random access preamble. Information is included, the uplink transmission timing is adjusted from the transmission timing information, and C-RNTI (or Temporary C-RNTI) or IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) is used in the scheduled radio resource and transmission format. The L2 / L3 message including the information for identifying the mobile station device 1-1 is transmitted (message 3: (3)).

  The mobile station apparatus 1-1 starts a transmission timing timer when adjusting the transmission timing. While the transmission timing timer is operating (or running), the transmission timing is valid, and when the transmission timing timer expires or is stopped, the transmission timing is invalid. While the transmission timing is valid, the mobile station apparatus 1-1 can transmit data to the base station apparatus 5, and when the transmission timing is invalid, the mobile station apparatus 1-1 can only transmit a random access preamble. It is. In addition, a period in which the transmission timing is valid is referred to as an uplink synchronization state, and a period in which the transmission timing is not valid is also referred to as an uplink asynchronous state.

  When the base station apparatus 5 receives the L2 / L3 message from the mobile station apparatus 1-1, the base station apparatus 5 uses the C-RNTI (or Temporary C-RNTI) or the IMSI included in the received L2 / L3 message. A contention confirmation (contention resolution) message for determining whether or not contention (collision) occurs between 1-1 to 1-3 is transmitted to the mobile station device 1-1 (message 4: (4)). .

  When the mobile station apparatus 1-1 transmits the L2 / L3 message, it starts a contention resolution timer. When the mobile station device 1-1 receives the contention confirmation message while the contention resolution timer is operating, the mobile station device 1-1 ends the random access procedure.

  If the mobile station apparatus 1-1 does not detect the random access response message including the preamble number corresponding to the random access preamble transmitted in the random access response reception period (Random Access Response window), the mobile station apparatus 1-1 transmits the message 3. If it fails, or if the identification information of the mobile station apparatus 1-1 is not detected in the contention confirmation message before the contention resolution timer expires, transmission of a random access preamble (message 1: (1 )) And start over.

  If the number of random access preamble transmissions exceeds the maximum number of random access preamble transmissions indicated by the system information, the mobile station apparatus 1-1 determines that the random access has failed and performs communication with the base station apparatus 5. Disconnect. In addition, after the random access procedure is successful, control data for connection is further exchanged between the base station apparatus 5 and the mobile station apparatus 1-1. At this time, the base station apparatus 5 notifies the mobile station apparatus 1-1 of the uplink reference signal to be individually allocated and the allocation information of the physical uplink control channel PUCCH.

  The update of the uplink transmission timing after the completion of the random access procedure is performed by using the uplink reference signal (measurement reference signal or demodulation signal) transmitted from the mobile station apparatus 1-1 by the base station apparatus 5 as shown in FIG. (Reference signal) is measured, transmission timing is calculated, and a transmission timing message including the calculated transmission timing information is notified to the mobile station apparatus 1-1.

  When the mobile station device 1-1 updates the transmission timing indicated by the transmission timing message notified from the base station device 5, the mobile station device 1-1 restarts the transmission timing timer. Note that the base station apparatus 5 also holds the same transmission timing timer as that of the mobile station apparatus 1-1. When transmission timing information is transmitted, the transmission timing timer is started or restarted. In this way, the uplink synchronization state is managed by the base station apparatus 5 and the mobile station apparatus 1-1. Note that the transmission timing is invalid when the transmission timing timer expires or when the transmission timing timer is not operating.

  3GPP also discusses LTE-Advanced, which is a further evolution of LTE. In LTE-Advanced, it is assumed that communication at a maximum transmission rate of 1 Gbps or higher and 500 Mbps or higher of the uplink is performed using a band up to a maximum of 100 MHz bandwidth in each of the uplink and the downlink.

  LTE-Advanced considers realizing a maximum of 100 MHz band by bundling a plurality of LTE bands of 20 MHz or less so that LTE mobile station apparatuses can be accommodated. In LTE-Advanced, one band of 20 MHz or less of LTE is called a component carrier (Component Carrier: CC) (Non-patent Document 1).

  Further, one cell is configured by combining one downlink component carrier and one uplink component carrier. A single cell can be configured with only one downlink component carrier. Bundling a plurality of cells and performing communication between the base station apparatus and the mobile station apparatus via the plurality of cells is called carrier aggregation.

  One base station apparatus allocates a plurality of cells suitable for the communication capability and communication conditions of the mobile station apparatus, and communicates with the mobile station apparatus via the allocated plurality of cells. The plurality of cells allocated to the mobile station apparatus are one cell as a first cell (Primary Cell: PCell) and the other cell as a second cell (Secondary Cell (SCell)). And classified. A special function such as allocation of the physical uplink control channel PUCCH is set in the first cell.

  On the other hand, in LTE-Advanced, the cost reduction of the mobile station apparatus with respect to a specific category like the mobile station apparatus corresponding to machine type communication (Machine Type Communication: MTC) or communication between machines (Machine To Machine: M2M) is examined. (Non-patent Document 2). Hereinafter, the MTC / M2M mobile station apparatus or the MTC / M2M communication device is also referred to as MTCUE (Machine Type Communication User Equipment).

  In order to realize a low-cost MTCUE corresponding to the LTE standard and the LTE-Advanced standard, the transmission / reception bandwidth is narrowed, the number of antenna ports / RF chains is reduced, the transmission / reception data transfer rate is reduced, and the half-duplex frequency division is performed. Cost reduction methods such as adoption of a multiplex (Half-duplex Frequency Division Duplex) system, reduction of transmission / reception power, and extension of an intermittent reception interval have been proposed. In addition, as a method for realizing low-cost MTCUE, it has been proposed that reduction of maximum bandwidth of the transmission / reception RF circuit and transmission / reception baseband circuit of the MTCUE is effective.

  In addition, in order to compensate for a decrease in reception and transmission characteristics due to the influence of a reduction in the number of antenna ports, downlink data or downlink signals are repeatedly transmitted to MTCUE for one data transmission, and MTCUE is transmitted once. It is considered that uplink data or an uplink signal is repeatedly transmitted to the base station apparatus in response to the data transmission.

  Further, in the MTC study, not only the cost reduction study but also the coverage enhancement for extending the transmission / reception range of the MTCUE is being studied. In order to reduce transmission / reception power and expand coverage, the base station apparatus repeatedly transmits downlink data or downlink signals to MTCUE for one data transmission, and MTCUE performs one data transmission. On the other hand, it is considered that uplink data or an uplink signal is repeatedly transmitted to the base station apparatus.

  The MTCUE repeatedly receives data from the base station apparatus for one data reception, adds the repeatedly received data, and demodulates the data. Also, the base station apparatus repeatedly receives data from the MTCUE, adds the repeatedly received data, and demodulates the data.

  For example, the base station apparatus repeatedly transmits the physical broadcast channel PBCH to the MTCUE a plurality of times within 40 ms. Further, the base station apparatus repeatedly transmits the physical downlink shared channel PDSCH, the physical downlink control channel PDCCH, and the enhanced physical control channel EPDCCH (enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel) to the MTCUE a plurality of times. The MTCUE repeatedly transmits the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH, the physical uplink control channel PUCCH, and the like to the base station apparatus a plurality of times.

  In the random access procedure, the MTCUE repeatedly transmits the same random access preamble using a plurality of physical random access channels PRACH. Then, the base station apparatus that has received the random access preamble repeatedly transmits a random access response message. In addition, the message 3 and the conflict confirmation message are repeatedly transmitted. Note that the base station apparatus notifies the MTCUE in the cell of the number of repeated transmissions and receptions using the broadcast channel BCH, or notifies each MTCUE individually (Non-patent Document 3).

  For example, the number of repeated transmissions of the random access preamble or the number of repeated receptions of the random access response message is reported on the broadcast channel BCH. In addition, the number of repeated transmissions of the random access preamble includes a plurality of types of repeated transmissions, and it has been considered that the MTCUE can select one number of repeated transmissions from a plurality of types of repeated transmissions. The number of repeated transmissions set from the base station apparatus is also referred to as one trial number (attempt).

  Repetitive control for reception of the physical downlink control channel PDCCH, reception of the extended physical control channel EPDCCH, transmission of the physical uplink control channel PUCCH and transmission of the physical random access channel PRACH (or random access preamble) is referred to as repetition. The repetitive control for the reception of the physical downlink shared channel PDSCH and the transmission of the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH is also referred to as bundling.

  When bundling is set, the bundle size defines the number of subframes in one bundle. Bundling operations rely on HARQ entities that invoke the same HARQ process for each transmission that makes up the same bundle. Within one bundle, HARQ retransmissions are non-adaptive and are triggered without waiting for feedback from previous transmissions depending on the bundle size. The HARQ feedback of one bundle is received (HARQ-ACK for PUSCH) or transmitted (HARQ-ACK for PDSCH) by the terminal device only for the last subframe of the bundle. The bundling process is performed in the MAC layer.

  Designed for machine type communication (MTC) or machine to machine (M2M), a mobile station device or MTC / M2M communication device that supports cost reduction and / or coverage expansion. MTCUE (Machine Type Communication User Equipment) is shown below. However, the use of such a mobile station apparatus is not limited to machine type communication or communication between machines. In addition, a mobile station apparatus that does not have features such as cost reduction and coverage expansion is simply shown as a mobile station apparatus below.

For example, the base station apparatus 5 notifies the system information block type 1 (System Information Block Type 1) of conventional system information to the mobile station apparatus 1-1. Moreover, you may make it the base station apparatus 5 alert | report to the MTCUE3-1 the System Information Block Type 1A (System Information Block Type1A) of new system information.

  And MTCUE3-1 selects the random access preamble which MTCUE3-1 uses using the selection information of random access preamble. For example, the MTCUE 3-1 may select the number of repeated transmissions of the random access preamble and the random access preamble from the selection range information of the random access preamble based on the downlink radio quality and the like.

  The maximum number of repeated transmissions may be set for each cell according to system information. And MTCUE3-1 transmits a random access preamble using the resource of the physical random access channel PRACH of a cell for initial access. The random access preamble is transmitted with the same transmission power until the number of repeated transmissions of random access preamble transmission is reached.

  The number of repeated transmissions of random access preamble transmission may be included in the random access common information. Further, the number of repeated transmissions of random access preamble transmission may be set corresponding to the random access preamble selected by MTCUE 3-1. The selection information of the random access preamble may be composed of information on the random access preamble selected by the mobile station apparatus and information on the random access preamble selected by the MTCUE 3-1.

  After detecting the random access preamble, the base station apparatus 5 calculates the uplink transmission timing of the MTCUE 3-1 from the received random access preamble, creates a random access response message including the transmission timing information, and transmits the random access response message. The included physical downlink shared channel PDSCH is repeatedly transmitted. The base station apparatus 5 may include the number of repeated transmissions for the MTCUE 3-1 in the random access response message.

  Then, the MTCUE 3-1 transmits a random access preamble and then receives a random access response message by using an RA-RNTI (Random Access-Radio Network Temporary Identity: Random access response identification information) is monitored during the random access response reception period.

  When the MTCUE 3-1 detects the RA-RNTI on the physical downlink control channel PDCCH or the extended physical downlink control channel EPDCCH, the MTCUE 3-1 receives the physical downlink shared channel PDSCH including the random access response message. Alternatively, the MTCUE 3-1 may try to receive the physical downlink shared channel PDSCH transmitted in the downlink resource area corresponding to the transmitted random access preamble or physical random access channel resource (configuration information).

  When acquiring the random access response message, the MTCUE 3-1 sets the transmission timing information included in the random access response message as the uplink transmission timing of the cell, and starts the transmission timing timer. The MTCUE 3-1 repeatedly transmits the message 3 to the base station device 5 through the cell. The MTCUE 3-1 includes the content indicating the initial access in the message 3. When information regarding the number of repeated transmissions to the MTCUE 3-1 is set in the random access response message, the MTCUE 3-1 repeatedly transmits the message 3 until the number of repeated transmissions set by the random access response message is reached.

  When MTCUE 3-1 transmits message 3, it starts a contention resolution timer. The MTCUE 3-1 sets the expiration value (setting value) of the contention resolution timer according to the number of transmission repetitions of the random access preamble. Note that the contention resolution timer is started by the first transmission of the repeated transmission of the message 3. Alternatively, the contention resolution timer may be started at the last transmission of the repeated transmission of the message 3.

  When the base station device 5 receives the message 3, the base station device 5 repeatedly transmits a contention resolution message to the MTCUE 3-1. And MTCUE3-1 will complete | finish a random access procedure, if a contention resolution message is received from the base station apparatus 5. FIG.

  Note that the MTCUE 3-1 repeatedly receives a random access response message and a contention resolution message. MTCUE3-1 transmits the message 3 repeatedly. Moreover, the base station apparatus 5 repeatedly transmits a random access response message and a contention resolution message. The base station apparatus 5 receives the message 3 repeatedly.

  The number of repeated transmissions or the number of repeated receptions related to the random access procedure may be set corresponding to the random access preamble transmitted by the MTCUE 3-1. Further, the number of repeated transmissions or the number of repeated receptions related to the random access procedure may be notified by the random access common information of the system information.

  For example, the number of repeated receptions of the random access response message may be included in the information related to reception of the random access response message. Further, the number of times contention resolution is repeatedly received may be included in the information related to contention resolution message reception.

  In addition, the expiration value of the contention resolution timer may be set corresponding to the number of repeated transmissions of the random access preamble or the number of repeated receptions of the random access response message. That is, the MTCUE 3-1 may have a plurality of expiration values of the contention resolution timer corresponding to the number of repeated transmissions of the random access preamble or the number of repeated receptions of the random access response message.

  Further, the expiration value of the contention resolution timer may be notified by the system information. For example, when the number of transmission repetitions of the random access preamble can be selected from three types of 5, 10, and 20, the expiration value of the contention resolution timer is a value corresponding to the number of transmission repetitions, for example, 100 ms, Settings that can be selected uniquely or arbitrarily from three types of 200 ms and 400 ms may be set. Further, for example, the value of the contention resolution timer may be uniquely set based on a calculation formula corresponding to the number of transmission repetitions of the selected random access preamble or a repetition level.

  The base station apparatus 5 may notify the MTCUE 3-1 of expiration values of a plurality of types of contention resolution timers according to the number of repeated transmissions of the random access preamble as in the above example. Also, the base station apparatus 5 notifies the MTCUE 3-1 of the expiration value of the basic contention resolution timer. The MTCUE 3-1 may calculate the expiration value of the contention resolution timer from the expiration value of the basic contention resolution timer and the number of transmission repetitions of the random access preamble.

  Further, the MTCUE 3-1 may calculate the expiration value of the contention resolution timer from the expiration value of the basic contention resolution timer and the number of repetitions of contention reception. The expiration value of the contention resolution timer may be included in the information related to contention resolution message reception.

  Further, the MTCUE 3-1 may calculate the reception period according to the number of transmission repetitions of the random access preamble as well as the expiration value of the contention resolution timer for the random access response reception period. Further, the random access response reception period may be set such that a plurality of types can be selected in accordance with the number of times of repeated transmission of the access preamble, similarly to the expiration value of the contention resolution timer. The random access response reception period may be included in the information related to the random access response message reception.

  If the random access response message cannot be received, or if the contention resolution message cannot be received before the contention resolution timer expires, the MTCUE 3-1 performs random access to the random access procedure. Redo from the preamble selection.

  After completing the random access procedure, data transmission / reception is performed between the base station apparatus 5 and the MTCUE 3-1 using the physical downlink shared channel PDSCH and the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH. The base station apparatus 5 and the MTCUE 3-1 perform transmission / reception by repeating the physical downlink shared channel PDSCH and the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH.

  The number of physical uplink shared channel PUSCH repeated transmissions or the number of physical downlink shared channel PDSCH repeated receptions after the completion of the random access procedure may be set in correspondence with the random access preamble. Further, the number of repeated transmissions or the number of repeated receptions after the end of the random access procedure may be notified to MTCUE 3-1 in the system information.

  The base station apparatus 5 may set the number of repeated transmissions or the number of repeated receptions individually for the MTCUE 3-1. The number of repeated transmissions or the number of repeated receptions may be set separately or may be set simultaneously. The base station apparatus 5 may set the number of repetitions of the physical downlink control channel PDCCH, the extended physical downlink control channel EPDCCH, and the physical uplink control channel PUCCH.

  In addition, the base station apparatus 5 reports the radio quality measurement report (measurement report) of its own cell and neighboring cells of the notified MTCUE3-1, the CQI notified from the MTCUE3-1, or the uplink reference signal transmitted from the MTCUE3-1. Based on the radio quality of (SRS), the number of repeated transmissions or the number of repeated receptions of the physical downlink shared channel PDSCH and / or the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH may be determined / changed. For example, the base station apparatus 5 may be set to increase the number of repetitions when the wireless quality is deteriorated and to decrease the number of repetitions when the wireless quality is improved.

  Moreover, the base station apparatus 5 may set the valid period of the number of repeated transmissions of the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH or the number of repeated receptions of the physical downlink shared channel PDSCH. The valid period of the repeated transmission count or the repeated reception count may be controlled between the base station apparatus 5 and the MTCUE 3-1 using a timer. Further, the MTCUE 3-1 and the base station apparatus 5 may each have a timer indicating an effective period of the repeated transmission count and a timer indicating an effective period of the repeated reception count. This timer is referred to as a repetitive control timer and is shown below.

  For example, the base station apparatus 5 notifies the MTCUE 3-1 of each of the number of repeated transmissions of the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH or the number of repeated receptions of the physical downlink shared channel PDSCH, and information on the repetition control timer (for example, the repetition control timer) The expiration value). The MTCUE 3-1 sets the number of repeated transmissions of the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH and the number of repeated receptions of the physical downlink shared channel PDSCH, and starts a repeated control timer.

  While the repetition control timer is running (running), the MTCUE 3-1 performs transmission of the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH or reception of the physical downlink shared channel PDSCH with the number of repetitions set by the base station apparatus 5. When the repetitive control timer expires (or is stopped), the MTCUE 3-1 discards (or deletes, releases, invalidates) the repetitive number set individually from the base station apparatus 5, and performs physical uplink. The number of repeated transmissions of the control channel PUCCH and the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH is set to a predetermined level, and the number of repeated receptions of the physical downlink control channel PDCCH, the extended physical control channel EPDCCH, and the physical downlink shared channel PDSCH is predetermined. Set to the size of the number of times.

  The predetermined number of times is, for example, a default value, a value set by the base station apparatus 5 using system information or an RRC message, a maximum number of repetitions supported by the cell, or an initial value. The initial value may be notified by system information or may be determined in advance.

  When the new repeat count is set from the base station apparatus 5 while the repeat control timer is operating, the MTCUE 3-1 repeats the repeat transmission count of the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH or the physical downlink shared channel PDSCH. Reset the number of receptions and restart the control timer repeatedly.

  Note that the base station device 5 may separately notify the MTCUE 3-1 of information indicating the start or restart of the repetitive control timer. When receiving information indicating the start of the repetition control timer, the MTCUE 3-1 starts or restarts the repetition control timer and applies the set number of repetitions. In addition, the base station device 5 may separately notify the MTCUE 3-1 of information indicating that the repeated control timer is stopped.

  For example, the base station device 5 uses the RRC layer message or the MAC layer message to set the MTCUE 3-1 as the RRC layer message or the MAC layer message with the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH repeat transmission count, the physical downlink shared channel PDSCH repeat reception count, or the repeat control timer setting information. And the base station apparatus 5 notifies the information indicating the start or restart of the repetitive control timer by a MAC layer control message.

  Further, the repetition control timer may be started upon reception of a random access response message or reception of a contention resolution message. Further, the repetition control timer may be started by transmission of the message 3. In the case of starting the repetitive control timer by such a random access procedure message, the repetitive control timer is preferably notified to the MTCUE 3-1 by system information.

  When the repetitive control timer expires, the MTCUE 3-1 may notify the base station apparatus 5 that the repetitive control timer has expired. For example, when the repetitive control timer expires, the MTCUE 3-1 executes a random access procedure. The MTCUE 3-1 repeatedly transmits the message 3 including information indicating the expiration of the control timer to the base station apparatus 5. When the base station apparatus 5 receives information indicating that the repeated control timer has expired, the base station apparatus 5 resets the number of repeated transmissions and receptions in the MTCUE 3-1.

  Further, the timer value (or expiration value) of the repetition control timer may be determined based on the number of repetitions. Further, the value of the repetition control timer may be calculated from the number of repetitions. For example, when the number of repetitions is A (A is a natural number), the value of the repetition control timer may be determined by A × n. n may be a fixed value (for example, n = 10) in the system, or may be individually set by an RRC message or system information.

  Further, the repetition control timer may reuse the transmission timing timer. For example, when the MTCUE 3-1 receives the transmission timing information and restarts the transmission timing timer, if the number of repeated transmission / reception is notified, application of the notified number of repeated transmission / reception starts. When the repetition count is not notified, the MTCUE 3-1 continues the set repetition count. When the transmission timing timer expires, the MTCUE 3-1 stops uplink transmission and discards the applied repeated transmission / reception times.

  The physical uplink shared channel PUSCH, physical downlink shared channel PDSCH, physical uplink control channel PUCCH, physical downlink control channel PDCCH, extended physical downlink control channel EPDCCH, and physical random access channel PRACH shown above are MTCUE The dedicated physical uplink shared channel PUSCH, physical downlink shared channel PDSCH, physical uplink control channel PUCCH, physical downlink control channel PDCCH, extended physical downlink control channel EPDCCH, and physical random access channel PRACH may be used.

  The base station apparatus 5 may set a plurality of types of repetitions and set a repetition level or a bundling size corresponding to each. For example, when the repetition level is 1, the number of repetitions is set to 10, and when the repetition level is 2, the number of repetitions is set to 20, and when the repetition level is 3, the number of repetitions is set to 30. . The base station apparatus 5 may notify the MTCUE 3-1 of the repetition level or bundling size. The MTCUE 3-1 may calculate the expiration value of the repetition control timer, the expiration value of the contention resolution timer, or the random access response reception period based on the repetition level or bundling size.

  Information related to repeated transmission / reception control is received only by the MTCUE 3-1, and a system information block (system information block type 1A) different from the system information block (for example, system information block type 2) received by the mobile station apparatus 1-1 is received. It may be included only in the system information that is used and notified. The base station apparatus 5 is a system in which the MTCUE 3-1 receives the above-described parameters such as the repetition level, bundling size, expiration value of the repetition control timer, and the expiration value of the contention resolution timer corresponding to the repetition level. You may make it include in the system information alert | reported using an information block (system information block type1A). That is, random access common setting information of system information broadcasted using a system information block (system information block type 2) received by the mobile station apparatus 1-1 and random access common setting information of system information broadcasted to MTCUE3-1 Are independent and may be different.

  The base station apparatus 5 periodically transmits system information at the RRC level. In the reception process of each system information by the MTCUE 3-1, the HARQ process is performed in the MAC layer of the MTCUE 3-1. The repetitive control for the reception of the physical downlink control channel PDCCH, the reception of the extended physical control channel EPDCCH, the transmission of the physical uplink control channel PUCCH and the transmission of the physical random access channel PRACH (or random access preamble) is performed by the MTCUE 3-1. This is done in the PHY layer.
