201210358 六、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係有關功率餘量報告,尤其有關在採用載波聚 合技術的通信網路中報告用戶終端設備的功率餘量的方法 及裝置。 【先前技術】 上行系統的功率餘量(PH)報告可將用戶終端設備的 功率相關資訊提供給基站’以協助基站進行資源調度。在 LTE (長期演進)系統中’功率餘量報告所包括的資訊爲 用戶終端設備的標稱最大發送功率與上行共用通道的估算 發送功率之間的差値。 圖la和圖lb分別是LTE系統中上報功率餘量的MAC PDU (媒體存取控制協定資料單位)子標頭與功率餘量 MAC控制單兀(element)的不意圖。圖la所示的子標頭的 長度爲1個位元組。R爲預留欄位(f i e 1 d ),設爲“ ; E爲 擴充欄位,用以指示MAC標頭中是否有更多的欄位:LCID 爲邏輯通道識別碼(Logical Channel ID )欄位,用以標識 後續的MAC酬載(payload)的邏輯通道實體,5個位元的 LCID對應有32個索引,其中一部分的索引(01011至11001 )爲預留的索引,亦即,還沒有被使用。圖lb所示的功率 餘量MAC控制單元的長度爲1個位元組。R爲預留欄位,設 爲“0” ; P Η爲6個位元的功率餘量欄位,用以指示功率餘量 。在LTE中,在報告功率餘量時,一個子標頭對應於一個 201210358 功率餘量MAC控制單元,亦即,圖1 a中的子標頭透過LCID 欄位來標識圖lb中的功率餘量M AC控制單元。 【發明內容】 本發明的發明人意識到,在引入載波聚合的LTE-A (LTE-Advanced)系統中,LTE所使用的功率餘量報告機 制不能滿足多個分量載波(component carrier )的需求。 在引入載波聚合的LTE-A的系統中,基站以及用戶終端設 備可支援在多個分量載波上的資料傳輸。由於各個分量載 波所對應的通道狀況會有所不同並且各個分量載波獨立地 進行功率控制,各個分量載波的功率餘量可能會不同,因 此一個用戶終端設備需要將各個分量載波的功率餘量資訊 報告給基站。關於多個分量載波的功率餘量資訊可分別在 各自的分量載波上傳輸、只在一個分量載波上傳輸或者使 用其他方式來傳輸。此外,如果在多個分量載波中設定一 個分量載波爲主載波,則還需將主載波的資料通道和控制 通道的通道功率餘量分別向基站報告。現有的功率餘量報 告機制無法滿足上述多個需求,亦即,無法實現多分量載 波的功率餘量的報告。 基於上述對先前技術以及相關問題的理解,如果能夠 實現將多個分量載波的功率餘量報告給基站將是非常重要 的。此外,如果能在儘量少改動現有的LTE的功率餘量報 告機制的前提下實現多個分量載波的功率餘量報告也是非 常有意義的。

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a power headroom report, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for reporting a power headroom of a user terminal device in a communication network employing carrier aggregation technology. [Prior Art] The power headroom (PH) report of the uplink system can provide power related information of the user terminal equipment to the base station' to assist the base station in resource scheduling. The information included in the 'Power Headroom Report' in the LTE (Long Term Evolution) system is the difference between the nominal maximum transmit power of the user terminal equipment and the estimated transmit power of the uplink shared channel. 1a and 1b are the intentions of the MAC PDU (Media Access Control Protocol Data Unit) subheader and the power headroom MAC control element in the LTE system, respectively. The subheader shown in Figure la has a length of 1 byte. R is the reserved field (fie 1 d ), set to “ ; E is an extension field to indicate whether there are more fields in the MAC header: LCID is the logical channel ID (Logical Channel ID) field a logical channel entity for identifying a subsequent MAC payload. The LCID of 5 bits corresponds to 32 indexes, and a part of the index (01011 to 11001) is a reserved index, that is, has not been The power headroom MAC control unit shown in Figure lb has a length of 1 byte. R is reserved field and is set to "0"; P Η is 6 bits of power margin field. To indicate the power headroom. In LTE, when reporting the power headroom, a subheader corresponds to a 201210358 power headroom MAC control unit, that is, the subheader in Figure 1a identifies the picture through the LCID field. Power headroom M AC control unit in lb. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The inventors of the present invention have realized that in an LTE-A (LTE-Advanced) system incorporating carrier aggregation, the power headroom reporting mechanism used by LTE cannot be satisfied. Demand for multiple component carriers. Introducing carrier aggregation In the LTE-A system, the base station and the user terminal equipment can support data transmission on multiple component carriers. Since the channel conditions corresponding to the respective component carriers are different and the individual component carriers independently perform power control, each component carrier The power headroom may be different, so a user terminal equipment needs to report the power headroom information of each component carrier to the base station. The power headroom information about multiple component carriers can be transmitted on the respective component carriers, only in one The component carrier transmits or uses other methods for transmission. In addition, if one component carrier is set as the primary carrier in multiple component carriers, the channel power margin of the primary carrier and the channel power of the control channel need to be reported to the base station, respectively. The existing power headroom reporting mechanism cannot meet the above multiple requirements, that is, the power headroom of the multi-component carrier cannot be reported. Based on the above understanding of the prior art and related problems, if the power of multiple component carriers can be realized It will be very important to report the remaining amount to the base station.

Various aspects of the invention will be apparent from the description of the embodiments hereinafter. [Embodiment] FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a method for reporting power headroom related information to a network device in a user terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention, an implementation according to a first aspect of the present invention. For example, a method for reporting power headroom related information to a network device in a user terminal device is provided. The user terminal device can be implemented in a variety of ways, such as a mobile phone or a notebook computer. Network devices can be implemented in a variety of ways, such as base stations or relay stations. The transmission channel of the user terminal device is provided with a plurality of component carriers. The power margin related information indicates a channel power margin of the at least one component carrier of the plurality of component carriers of the user terminal device. The transmission channel of the user terminal device is a channel used by the user terminal device to send control information and data information to the network device. -10- 201210358 The channel power headroom may be a power headroom corresponding to a plurality of channels, such as a power headroom of a data channel (eg, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)) corresponding to one component carrier of the user terminal device or corresponding to one The power headroom of the control channel of the component carrier (eg, Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH)). Channel power headroom can be obtained in a variety of ways. For example, the channel power headroom is the difference between the nominal maximum transmit power of the user terminal equipment and the estimated transmit power of the PUSCH. As another example, the channel power headroom is the difference between the nominal maximum transmit power of the user equipment and the estimated transmit power of the PUCCH. As another example, the channel power headroom is the difference between the nominal maximum transmit power of the user equipment and the total estimated transmit power of the PUSCH and PUCCH. Referring to FIG. 2, the method includes the step 210: the user terminal device obtains power balance related information. The power head related information can be expressed in a variety of ways, such as the 6-bit PH field in LTE. Referring to Table 1, the power headroom related information, that is, the 6-bit PH field, is determined according to the power headroom to which the channel power margin belongs. For example, the power headroom of one component carrier belongs to the power headroom registration P〇WER_HEADROOM_3, then the PH field is 201210358. Table 1 PH power headroom level 0 POWER HEADROOM 0 1 POWER HEADROOM 1 2 POWER HEADROOM 2 3 POWER HEADROOM 3 60 POWER HEADROOM 60 61 POWER HEADROOM 61 62 POWER HEADROOM 62 63 POWER HEADROOM 63 The method further comprises a step 220 of determining, by the user terminal device, a header and at least one power headroom control unit based on the power headroom related information. At least one power headroom control unit includes power headroom related information. The header includes information of at least one bit, the information of the at least one bit being used to indicate a first transmission format of the power headroom related information in the at least one power headroom control unit; and/or at least one power headroom control unit The information includes at least one bit, and the information of the at least one bit is used to indicate a second transmission format of the power head related information in the at least one power headroom control unit. The first transmission format is a transmission format of the power head related information. For example, the first transmission format includes a channel type corresponding to a channel power margin of at least one component carrier, such as a power headroom of a data channel or a power headroom of a control channel. As another example, the first transmission format includes the bit length of at least one power headroom control unit, such as the power headroom control unit consuming a total of 42 bits. For another example, the first transmission format includes a -12-201210358 carrier index of at least one component carrier: for example, after numbering channels of each component carrier, indexing component carriers by means of indicator numbers; or, pre-defining transmitting component carriers The order of the channel transmission power and the corresponding indicator bit are indexed by setting the number of corresponding indication bits. As another example, the first transmission format includes the number of cells of at least one power headroom control unit, such as one header corresponding to two power headroom control units. The second transmission format is a transmission format of the power head related information. For example, the second transmission format includes a carrier index of at least one component carrier: such as 'indexing the channel of each component carrier, indexing the component carrier by means of the indicator number; or 'predefining the channel transmission power of each component carrier The order and the corresponding indicator bit are indexed by setting the number of corresponding indication bits. The first transmission format and the second transmission format may be used to respectively indicate a transmission format of the power head related information or a transmission format in which the power head related information is collectively indicated. That is to say, 'the transmission format of the power headroom related information may be indicated by at least one bit included in the header; or the power headroom related information may be indicated by only at least one bit included in the power headroom control unit. The transmission format of the power headroom related information is indicated by at least one bit included in the header and at least one bit included in the power headroom control unit. There are more specific embodiments below to illustrate how to use the header and power headroom control unit to indicate the transmission format of the power headroom related information. The method further includes a step 203, the user terminal device transmitting a data packet to the network device on one of the plurality of component carriers, the resource-13-201210358 packet including a header and at least one power headroom control unit . A component carrier can report only the power headroom of its own channel and can also report the power headroom of the channel of one or more other component carriers. Since the partial bit information in the header and/or power headroom control unit indicates the transmission format of the power headroom related information, that is, how to transmit the channel power headroom related information of at least one component carrier on one component carrier When the user terminal device may transmit the channel power margin of the at least one component carrier on one component carrier in multiple manners, the network device may determine the transmission format of the channel power margin of the at least one component carrier, thereby being correct The channel power headroom of the at least one component carrier is received and determined. Therefore, the user terminal device can report the channel power margin of the plurality of component carriers to the network device in a plurality of manners, thereby implementing power headroom reporting of the user terminal device in the communication network using the carrier aggregation technology. The header and the at least one power headroom control unit can indicate the transmission format of the power headroom related information in various ways. A method for reporting the power headroom related information by the user terminal device will be specifically described below through various embodiments. • If only the respective power headroom reports are transmitted on each component carrier, the data channel power headroom and the control channel power headroom of one component carrier may use different headers or share one header, respectively. In one embodiment, the data channel power headroom and the control channel power headroom share a header' and subsequent two power headroom control units. When the physical layer acquires the carrier component as the primary component carrier, the information is transmitted to the MAC layer. The MAC knows that the PDU contains two power headroom control sheets -14-201210358. In one embodiment, the data channel power headroom and the control channel power headroom share a header, and the subheader shown in FIG. 1a can be used as a header and passed through a reserved field (eg, The first r field in Figure la) indicates the data channel power headroom and the control channel power headroom. For example, when the first R field is “0”, the power headroom control unit is a control unit as shown in Figure lb, and only the data channel power headroom is sent: when the first R field is “1” At least one power headroom control unit includes two control units as shown in FIG. 1b. The first control unit transmits a data channel power headroom. The second control unit transmits a control channel power headroom. Similarly, the reserved field (ie, the R field) in the control unit shown in FIG. 1b can also be used to indicate the data channel power headroom and the transmission format of the control channel power headroom, that is, the indication header. The number of channels corresponding to the corresponding power headroom control unit. Similarly, the reserved index in the logical channel identifier field shown in Figure 2 can also be used to indicate that at least one power headroom control unit includes the two control units shown in Figure lb. In still another embodiment, the data channel power margin and the control channel power headroom of one component carrier use respective headers, and the subheader shown in Figure ia can be used as the header. When the second R field is "〇,", the power headroom control unit is a control unit as shown in FIG. 1b, and only the data channel power headroom is transmitted; when the second R field is "〗, At the same time, the power headroom control unit is a control unit as shown in FIG. 1b, and only transmits the control channel power headroom. Similarly, the reserved index in the logical channel identifier field shown in FIG. 13 can also be used to indicate the data channel power headroom and the control channel power amount -15 - 201210358, the transmission format, that is, the indication header The channel type corresponding to the corresponding power headroom control unit. In the above embodiment, the information included in the header to indicate at least one bit of the first transmission format is a reserved field and a logical channel identification code field, respectively. The above embodiment utilizes the existing sub-headers and control units in LTE, and the changes to the existing system are small, and a smooth transition of the system can be realized. • If a power headroom report for at least one component carrier other than itself can be transmitted on one component carrier, the power headroom reports for different component carriers can use different headers or share a single header, respectively. Figures 3a through 3c are schematic illustrations of a header and power headroom control unit, respectively, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. It is assumed that the transmission channel of the user terminal device uses five component carriers, one of which is a primary component carrier with a control channel and a data channel, and the other component carriers are secondary component carriers with only a data channel ( Secondary Component Carrier ). Figure 3a shows the sub-header used in LTE to identify the MAC SDU (Service Data Unit), where the F field indicates the size of the L field and the L field indicates the size of the s D U. The sub-header shown in FIG. 3a can be used as a header to indicate the first transmission format, and the LCID field in FIG. 3a is used to indicate that the power headroom corresponding to the header can include at most six channel powers. For the margin, the L field is used to indicate the length of the power headroom control unit, that is, the number of bits or the number of bytes. Figures 3b and 3c show the power headroom control unit reporting six channel power headrooms on one component carrier. The six B fields are used to indicate the second transmission format, corresponding to six channels (ie, data channels on five component carriers and control channels on one main-16-201210358 component carrier), and "1" indicates There is a power headroom report for the corresponding channel, and “0” indicates that there is no power headroom report for the corresponding channel. The P block is a padding field for ensuring that the number of bits included in the power headroom control unit is an integer multiple of 8, so that the data unit is formed in the form of a byte. Figure 3b shows the power headroom control unit reporting six channel power headrooms. Figure 3c shows the power headroom control unit reporting the five channel power headroom. 4a and 4b are schematic views of a header and power headroom control unit, respectively, in accordance with yet another embodiment of the present invention. In the header shown in Fig. 4a, the B field is included, and in the power headroom control unit shown in Fig. 4b, the B field is also included. The B field in the header and the b field in the power headroom control unit are used together to indicate the transmission mode of the power headroom report of the six channels, and “1” indicates that there is a power headroom report in the corresponding channel, “〇 , ' indicates that there is no power headroom report for the corresponding channel. The header and power headroom control unit shown in Figures 4a and 4b reports six channel power headrooms. In yet another embodiment, 'if one component The power headroom report of transmitting another component carrier on the carrier may use the sub-header shown in FIG. 1 as the header 'using the control unit of FIG. 1 b as the power headroom control unit. If there are six component carriers in total Channel, select three R fields in the four R fields in Figure la and Figure lb to index the power headroom of the component carrier channel to be transmitted. 'such as '001' indicates the power of the control channel of the primary component carrier. The volume report uses the LCID field in Figure la to indicate that only the power headroom of one component carrier channel is reported. In yet another embodiment, 'the LCID field in Figure la is used to index the component to be sent by •17- 201210358.
