Referring to FIG. 1, a wireless communication system 100 to which embodiments are applied includes a coordinated multi-point transmission / reception system (CoMP system) or cooperative system in which two or more transmission / reception points cooperate to transmit a signal. It may be a coordinated multi-antenna transmission system, a cooperative multi-cell communication system. The CoMP system 100 may include at least two transmission / reception points 110 and 112 and terminals 120 and 122.

It may be at least one RRH 112 having a. The eNB 110 and the RRH 112 may have the same cell ID or may have different cell IDs.

Hereinafter, downlink (downlink) means a communication or communication path from the transmission and reception points (110, 112) to the terminal 120, the uplink (uplink) from the terminal 120 to the transmission and reception points (110, 112) Or a communication path. In downlink, the transmitter may be part of the transmission / reception points 110 and 112 and the receiver may be part of the terminals 120 and 122. In uplink, the transmitter may be part of the terminal 120 and the receiver may be part of the transmission / reception points 110 and 112.

Sometimes, PDSCH is transmitted and received.

2 and 3, the eNB 110, which is the first transmission / reception point, which is one of the transmission and reception points 110 and 112, may perform downlink transmissions S210 and S310 to the terminals 120 and 122. The eNB 110 performs downlink control information and uplink data channels such as a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), which is a main physical channel for unicast transmission, and scheduling required for reception of the PDSCH. A physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for transmitting scheduling grant information for transmission in (eg, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)) may be transmitted. Hereinafter, the transmission / reception of a signal through each channel will be described in a form in which the corresponding channel is transmitted / received.

In contrast, according to a wireless environment, the first terminal 120 may perform uplink transmission to the RRH 112 and the second terminal 122 may perform uplink transmission to the eNB 110. In addition, the number of terminals may be two or more. However, in the following embodiment, the number of terminals is two, one terminal is an eNB 110, the other terminal will be described by way of example to transmit the uplink signal to the RRH (112).

Denotes a minimum CCE index value to which the corresponding downlink scheduling information is transmitted, and this can be dynamically defined.

Specific parameters set by upper layer signaling (e.g., RRC signaling) to serve as an offset for PUCCH format 1 / 1a / 1b resource allocation to determine the point at which a dynamically allocated PUCCH region is to start have.

As described above, in the area where the PUCCH format 2 / 2a / 2b and the PUCCH format 2 / 2a / 2b and 1 / 1a / 1b are mixed, the resource block is semi-static through the upper layer signaling, And the resource block in the area for PUCCH format 1 / 1a / 1b can be determined dynamically. Accordingly, the uplink transmission resource may be classified into a semi-static configuration region 410, a dynamic configuration region 420 in which the PUCCH format 1 / 1a / 1b may be configured, and a PUSCH region 430, as shown in FIG. 4. Can be.

However, the PUCCH resource mapping method according to Equations 3 and 4 described above is HARQ ACK / NACK through PUCCH formats 1a / 1b of a UE in which one serving cell is configured in a frame structure type 1 (FDD) system. PUCCH resource mapping method for transmission. In addition, the PUCCH resource mapping rule for a terminal configured with one or more serving cells (that is, a terminal with carrier aggregation) is applied as a function of a minimum CCE index and a higher layer parameter similarly to the aforementioned method. Or a plurality of candidate PUCCH resource values are set in advance through higher layer signaling, and the PUCCH to be used among the candidate PUCCH resource values through the 'TPC command for PUCCH' information region of actual downlink scheduling information. An ACK / NACK Resource Indication (ARI) scheme indicating resources may be used.

FIG. 5 illustrates one resource block pair of a downlink subframe in the case of a normal cyclic prefix (CP) in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) or LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) system.

Referring to FIG. 5, one resource block pair of a downlink subframe in a normal cyclic prefix (CP) may include 14 × 12 resource elements (12 × 12 in an extended CP). A Resource Element (RE) can be composed of one OFDM symbol on the time axis and one subcarrier on the frequency axis.

Four of the four OFDM symbols (l = 0 to 3) among the 14 OFDM symbols belonging to one resource block pair are physical control format information channel (PCFICH), physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel (PHICH), and physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). And the remaining OFDM symbols (l = 4 to 13) may be a data region 520 allocated for a data channel such as PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared CHannel). have. In FIG. 5, four OFDM symbols are allocated to the control region 510, but it is possible to allocate one to four OFDM symbols for the control region 510. The size information of the OFDM symbol of the control region 510 may be transmitted through the PCFICH.

A reference signal may be mapped to a specific resource element of the downlink. That is, the common reference signal or cell-specific reference signal (CRS) 530, the demodulation reference signal or the UE-specific reference signal (DeModulation Reference Signal or UE-specific Reference Signal) in the downlink DM-RSs 532 and 534 and a Channel Status Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) may be transmitted. In FIG. 5, only the CRS 530 and the DM-RSs 532 and 534 are shown for convenience of description.

The CRS 530 located in the control region 510 may be used for channel estimation for decoding the PDCCH, and the CRS 530 located in the data region 520 may be used for downlink channel measurement. Channel estimation for data decoding of the data region 520 may be performed using the DM-RSs 532 and 534.

The resources of the control area 510 reduce the resources of the data area 520 used for data transmission as overhead of the system. Meanwhile, in the LTE-A system capable of transmitting data to more users, the increase in system capacity may be limited due to the resources of the conventional limited control area 510. Therefore, an increase in control channel resources is inevitable, so a control channel transmission / reception method for multiple users using a spatial division multiplexing technique in the data region 520 may be considered. This method transmits and receives a control channel in the data area 520. For example, the control channel transmitted in the data region 520 may be called EPDCCH (Extended PDCCH or Enhanced PDCCH), but is not limited thereto.

In the data region 520, control channel resources may be allocated in units of resource blocks (or resource block pairs) for compatibility with data channel (eg, PDSCH) resources. Since the decoding reference signal (DM-RS) can be used to transmit the control channel in the data region 520, the control channel can be transmitted using a beam forming technique.

In this specification, allocating control information is used in the same sense as allocating a control channel. In other words, the allocation of the control channel in the present specification means allocating control information to resource elements.

The EPDCCH may be transmitted through some PRBs of a plurality of EPDCCH sets configured of a group of X PRBs (a group of X PRBs), where X is a natural number less than or equal to the number of PRBs of one or more full bands.

Depending on the EPDCCH transmission type, the EPDCCH set may be a localized type and also a distributed type. The aforementioned X may be 1 or 2 ⁿ (n = 1, 2, 3, 4 in the centralized type). , 5), but is not limited thereto. Meanwhile, X may be 2, 4, 8, or 16 in a distributed form, but is not limited thereto.

K (K = 1) EPDCCH sets may be UE-specifically configured. In this case, the maximum value for K may be any one of 2, 3, 4, and 6, but is not limited thereto. K EPDCCH sets may not all have the same X PRB pairs.

Each EPDCCH set may be configured for a centralized EPDCCH or a distributed EPDCCH. That is, each EPDCCH set cannot be configured by mixing a centralized EPDCCH or a distributed EPDCCH. For example, K EPDCCH sets may consist of KL sets (KL = 0) for the centralized EPDCCH and KD sets (KD = 0) for the distributed EPDCCH. At this time, KL and KD may be zero.

Meanwhile, K EPDCCH sets may be allocated to one UE. Since each EPDCCH set is distributed type or centralized type, KL centralized type EPDCCH and KD distributed type EPDCCH are allocated to one UE. Can be. That is, KL + KD = K can be obtained.

In a set of K (K = 1) EPDCCHs, K can be up to 2, in which case the combination of KL and KD is {KL = 1, KD = 0}, {KL = 0, KD = 1}, {KL = 1, KD = 1}, {KL = 0, KD = 2}, {KL = 2, KD = 0}.

The PDCCH is composed of 9-72 REGs according to a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format, which is reception control information of the UE, and an aggregation level for increasing reliability of the PDCCH. The reason why at least 9 REGs are needed is that up to 70 bits of information can be transmitted through DCI format. Since one RE is modulated by QPSK and transmits 2 bits, 35 REs are required, so 36 REs = 9 REGs is the minimum unit. The PDCCH has a CCE (control channel element) composed of nine REGs as a basic unit.

Similarly, resource element grouping may be performed to allocate control information in the data area. In other words, an EREG may be formed by grouping a plurality of resource elements (REs) in the data area, and an ECCE composed of the plurality of EREGs may be formed. In order to group a plurality of resource elements and to contrast with the REG used in the legacy PDCCH, it is referred to as EREG, but is not limited thereto.

Control information allocated to the data area may be allocated such ECCE as a basic unit. In other words, the EPDCCH may be assigned ECCE as a basic unit.

The EREGs may be grouped according to the characteristics of the indexes assigned to each resource element (RE) of the PRB.

FIG. 6 shows examples of assigning an index to a resource element in a PRB pair.

Referring to FIG. 6, 16 numbers in an RB pair are repeated with frequency priority to give an index. In the same symbol region, each resource element is sequentially indexed from 0 according to frequency, and when the indexing in one symbol region is completed, the index is continuously indexed to the next resource region adjacent to or closest to the last indexed region. Index can be assigned to all resource elements by assigning. In this case, indexes from 0 to 15 are assigned to each resource element, and after 15 times, indexes are sequentially assigned from 0 again.

Resource elements having the same index for the index of these resource elements may be grouped into one EREG. When the EREG is composed of resource elements having the same index, 16 EREGs exist in one resource block pair.

One ECCE may be configured by combining four or eight EREGs as described above.

ECCEs to which EPDCCH is allocated in the centralized EPDCCH transmission exist in one resource block pair, and ECCEs to which EPDCCH is allocated in distributed EPDCCH transmission may exist in two or more resource block pairs.

FIG. 7 shows two types of EPDCCH transmissions: localized EPDCCH transmission and distributed EPDCCH transmission.

Let N _{PRB be} the number of downlink physical resource blocks (PRBs) constituting a system band supported by an arbitrary cell configured by a carrier. In this case, as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 7, the EPDCCH transmitted through the corresponding PDSCH region may have two types of EPDCCH transmission types: centralized EPDCCH transmission and distributed EPDCCH transmission. Accordingly, the number of resource elements (REs) constituting the ECCE structure and one ECCE may vary according to each EPDCCH transmission type, but may also be the same regardless of the EPDCCH transmission type.

The centralized EPDCCH transmission shown in FIG. 7A means that one ECCE is located in one resource block pair and transmitted. Meanwhile, distributed EPDCCH transmission shown in FIG. 7B means that one ECCE is transmitted in at least two resource block pairs.

ECCE corresponds to a certain number of Enhanced Resource Element Groups (ERREGs). Each EREG means a specific number of resource elements (REs) available. In conclusion, ECCE means a set of available resource elements for EPDCCH transmission. The number of ECCEs required for a specific EPDCCH depends on the size of the control information (DCI payload) and the channel coding rate. In this case, the number of ECCEs required for a specific EPDCCH is called an aggregation level (AL).

In the present specification, the number of REs constituting ECCE for centralized EPDCCH transmission may be referred to as N _{ECCE, L} , and the number of REs constituting ECCE for distributed EPDCCH transmission may be referred to as N _{ECCE , D.} In this case, if the maximum number of REs that can be used for EPDCCH transmission in one PRB or VRB (Virtual Resource Block) is N _{RB , RE} , the number of ECCEs that can be transmitted through the corresponding PRB (or VRB) is concentrated. In case of type EPDCCH transmission, there are [N _{RB , RE} / N _{ECCE , L} ], and in case of distributed EPDCCH transmission, there are [N _{RB , RE} / N _{ECCE , D} ]. That is, when the number of REs used for other downlink physical signals and physical channels in the PRB (or VRB) is the minimum, the maximum number of ECCEs that can be transmitted through the corresponding PRB is determined according to the aforementioned EPDCCH transmission type. [N _{RB , RE} / N _{ECCE , L} ], and [N _{RB , RE} / N _{ECCE , D} ].

Meanwhile, PUCCH for uplink HARQ ACK / NACK feedback of a UE receiving downlink scheduling information through an EPDCCH newly introduced into a data region (PDSCH region) to improve the capacity of a downlink control channel in LTE-A system. Resource definition and mapping methods need to be defined.

The present specification provides a PUCCH resource configuration and mapping method for uplink HARQ ACK / NACK feedback of a terminal receiving downlink scheduling information through an newly introduced EPDCCH. In particular, the present invention defines an implicitly determined part and an explicitly determined part for determining PUCCH resource mapping for a terminal receiving downlink control information (DCI) through EPDCCH.

) Is a flowchart of a method 800 for configuring a PUCCH resource using information.

Referring to FIG. 8, a transmission / reception point for transmitting control information about a UE through a data area of a resource block pair of a subframe performs a method of configuring a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource. Allocating at least one enhanced physical downlink control channel set consisting of X resource block pairs (X = 2,4,8, (16)) (S810), the at least one downlink control Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource starting offset indication information is transmitted to each UE for each channel set (EPDCCH set) (S820).

The control information transmitted from the transmission / reception point to the terminal may include downlink scheduling information, and the control information may include at least one control of one downlink control channel set of the at least one downlink control channel set (EPDCCH set). It may be transmitted to the terminal through an enhanced control channel element (ECCE).

The minimum index of the control channel element in which the control information is transmitted and the PUCCH resource starting offset indication information transmitted in step S820 are resources for PUCCH resource mapping of ACK / NACK for PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) allocated according to downlink scheduling information. Can be used as a determinant.

) Is a flowchart of a method 900 for mapping PUCCH resources using information.

Referring to FIG. 9, the UE is a physical uplink control channel for each of at least one enhanced physical downlink control channel set consisting of X resource block pairs (X is a natural number greater than 1) of a subframe. In step S910, resource starting offset indication information is received from a transmission and reception point. Such resource starting offset indication information may be received through higher layer signaling (eg, RRC).

X = 2, 4, 8, (16), and (32) in X resource block pairs that constitute one EPDCCH set, but are not limited thereto. In this case, the EPDCCH set may or may not be configured with a maximum of 16 resource block pairs according to the type of the EPDCCH set. For example, a distributed EPDCCH set may consist of 16 resource block pairs, but a centralized EPDCCH set may consist of up to 8 resource block pairs.

The terminal receives downlink scheduling control information from a transmission / reception point through at least one enhanced physical downlink control channel of one downlink control channel set of the at least one downlink control channel set (EPDCCH set). (S920).

The UE uses the resource starting offset indication information and the minimum index of the control channel element as resource determination elements when mapping the PUCCH resources of the ACK / NACK for the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) allocated according to the downlink scheduling control information. The PUCCH resource is mapped (S930).

N _PRB will be referred to as the number of downlink resource block pair PRB (Physical Resource Block) constituting the system bandwidth (bandwidth) supported by any cell configured by the carrier. In this case, two types of EPDCCH transmission types may exist in the EPDCCH transmitted through the corresponding PDSCH region, that is, a localized EPDCCH transmission and a distributed EPDCCH transmission. Accordingly, the number of resource elements (REs) constituting an ECCE structure and one ECCE may vary according to each EPDCCH transmission type. In the present invention, the number of REs constituting the ECCE for the centralized EPDCCH type is referred to as N _{ECCE , L} , and the number of REs constituting the ECCE for the distributed EPDCCH type is referred to as N _{ECCE , D.} In this case, if the maximum number of REs that can be used for transmission of EPDCCH in one PRB or VRB (Virtual Resource Block) is N _{RB , RE} , the number of ECCEs that can be transmitted through the corresponding PRB (or VRB) is concentrated. For the type EPDCCH type, there are [N _{RB , RE} / N _{ECCE , L} ], and for the distributed type EPDCCH type, there are [N _{RB , RE} / N _{ECCE , D} ]. That is, when the number of REs used for other downlink physical signals and physical channels in the PRB (or VRB) is the minimum, the maximum number of ECCEs that can be transmitted through the PRB is determined according to the EPDCCH transmission type. [N _{RB , RE} / N _{ECCE , L} ], and [N _{RB , RE} / N _{ECCE , D} ].

Accordingly, when a terminal selects n _PRB as the lowest PRB (or VRB) index among PRBs (or VRBs) used for EPDCCH transmission for a corresponding terminal, an uplink HARQ ACK / NACK feedback of the corresponding terminal is determined. For PUCCH resource mapping

값으로 N을 적용하도록 할 수 있다. As a function of the number of blind decoding attempts to receive corresponding downlink scheduling information,

The value can be determined. For example, when the corresponding downlink scheduling information is received through the Nth blind decoding of the UE,

You can let N be the value.

To this end, it is necessary to define a blind decoding procedure of the terminal configured to receive the DCI through the EPDCCH. An EPDCCH transmission type dependent blind decoding scheme according to an EPDCCH transmission type may be defined as an EPDCCH blind decoding procedure of a corresponding UE. When both the distributed EPDCCH search space and the centralized EPDCCH search space are configured for a certain terminal (UE set as EPDCCH), blind decoding is performed on the distributed EPDCCH search space first, and then blind on the centralized EPDCCH search space. Can be defined to perform decoding. In this case, the UE performs blind decoding on the distributed EPDCCH search space in the order of ECCE aggregation level 1, 2, 4, and 8, and then moves to the centralized EPDCCH search space and moves to ECCE aggregation level 1. And blind decoding in the order of 2, 4, and 8. Alternatively, it may be defined to perform blind decoding in a manner that proceeds the centralized EPDCCH search space first.

As another method, an aggregation level dependent blind decoding method may be defined. In this case, blind decoding is performed in the order of ECCE aggregation level 1, 2, 4, and 8. That is, when both the distributed EPDCCH search space and the centralized EPDCCH search space are set in a certain terminal, after performing blind decoding on the aggregation level 1 of the distributed EPDCCH search space in the order of low aggregation level to high aggregation level, It may be defined to perform blind decoding on aggregation level 1 of the EPDCCH transmission type, and then to perform blind decoding on aggregation levels 2, 4, and 8 afterwards. Alternatively, the blind decoding may be defined by performing a high aggregation level first in the reverse order.

However, in this case, the blind decoding order is applied to only the downlink scheduling information at a time, and the above rule is applied to DCI format 1A, which is a fallback DL scheduling grant, among the downlink scheduling information. The numbers may be numbered accordingly, and may be sequentially numbered for a PDSCH transmission mode dependent DCI format according to the PDSCH transmission mode.

In case of a UE configured to receive DCI through EPDCCH, ECCE indexing is performed for each UE in a UE-specific search space, and the lowest ECCE index of the control channel element in which downlink scheduling information is transmitted. Above

Can be applied as a value. ECCE indexing for this can define the index for each search space according to the EPDCCH transmission type. That is, M pairs of resource blocks and PRB (s) are allocated as distributed EPDCCH search spaces as EPDCCH search spaces for an arbitrary UE, and L PRBs are each configured as centralized EPDCCH search spaces. depending on the value of the number generated ECCE for distributed EPDCCH search space area n _ECCE, and the _D value, the number of ECCE is generated in a centralized EPDCCH search space depending on the value L n _ECCE, the _L value is determined. The 0 to about the ECCE for distributed EPDCCH search space as the ECCE indexing scheme for the terminal according to (n _{ECCE, D} - 1) and then indexing through, then n _ECCE for the ECCE constituting the convergent EPDCCH search space ECCE indexes can be defined in the order of _{, D} ~ (n _{ECCE , D} + n _{ECCE , L} -1).

As another method, ECCE indexing may be separately performed in the distributed EPDCCH search space and the centralized EPDCCH search space. In this case, an ECCE index is defined from 0 to (n _{ECCE , D} -1) for ECCEs in the distributed EPDCCH search space, followed by 0 for ECCEs constituting a separate centralized EPDCCH search space. ECCE indexes can be defined in the order of (n _{ECCE , L} -1).

In case of a UE configured to receive DCI through EPDCCH as an ECCE indexing scheme for this purpose, ECCE is determined according to the resource block (s) allocated for transmission of the EPDCCH for the UE and the EPDCCH transmission type in the resource block. You can do indexing.

For example, if the maximum number of localized ECCEs that can be transmitted through one PRB is L _max , the corresponding L _max is determined as L _max = [N _{RB , RE} / N _{ECCE , L} ]. .

In this case, the centralized ECCE index of the PRB (or VRB) is in order from the lowest ECCE.

Up to n explicit decision parameters can be configured to be UE-specific. For example, when a 2-bit ARI is applied, four offset values are set for each terminal through UE-specific higher layer signaling, as shown in Table 3 or Table 4 below, respectively, or four, which are default offset values. Different terminal according to ARI

This can be applied.

As another method of determining the, the offset value according to the ARI may be fixed to apply the same value to all terminals. In this case, a set applied to link adaptation as a scheme for efficiently allocating PUCCH resources while minimizing collision between the terminal receiving the DCI through the EPDCCH and the terminal receiving the DCI through the legacy PDCCH. The remaining values (3,5,6,7) except the aggregation level may be used as offset values according to the corresponding ARI. That is, as shown in Table 5 below, 3,5,6,7 is applied as an offset value according to ARI, or an aggregation level that does not use three offset values except the default offset value as shown in Table 6 below. ) 3,5,6,7, except for even number 6, (3,5,7) can be applied to each.
