The above standards and documents are hereby incorporated by reference and constitute the present specification. Part 1 is a block diagram showing a multiple access wireless communication system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Access Network (AN) 100 includes a plurality of antenna groups, one group including antennas 104 and 106, one group including antennas 108 and 110, and the other group including antennas 112 and 114. In Fig. 1, each day The line group is temporarily represented by two antenna patterns, and the number of antennas of each antenna group may be more or less. The access terminal (Access Termina AT) 116 communicates with the antennas 112 and 114, wherein the antenna 112 and 114 transmits information to the access terminal 116' via a forward link (l20) and receives information transmitted by the access terminal 116 via a reverse link 18. The access terminal 122 and the antenna 106 and 108 performs communication 'where antennas 106 and 108 transmit information to access terminal 122 through forward link 126' and receives information transmitted by access terminal 122 over reverse link 124. In a frequency division duplex (Frequency Division) Duplexing, FDD) System 'reverse links 118, 124 and forward links 120, 126 can communicate using different frequencies. For example, forward link 120 is available with reverse chain] 0000120-TW-D3/9132-A43727 -TW/Final 6 201249229 Road 118 different frequencies. Each antenna group and/or the block they are designed to cover is often referred to as a sector of the access network. In this embodiment, each antenna group is designed to communicate with an access terminal within the area covered by the block accessing the network. When communicating using forward links 120 and 126, the transmit antennas in access network 1 may utilize beamforming to improve the forward link signal to noise ratio of access terminals 116 and 122, respectively. Moreover, the access network using the beamforming technology and the access terminals dispersed in its coverage can be reduced compared to an access network that uses a single antenna to transmit to all access terminals in the coverage area. Interference at an access terminal located in a neighboring cell. An access network (AN) may be a fixed station or a base station for communicating with a terminal device, and may also be called an access point, a Node B, a base station, an evolution base station, and an evolution b. Node (eN〇deB), or other terminology. An Access Terminal (AT) may also be referred to as a User Equipment (UE), a wireless communication device, a terminal, an access terminal, or other terminology. Figure 2 shows a transmitter system 21 (which can be regarded as an access network) and a receiver system 250 (which can be regarded as an access terminal or user equipment) applied to multiple-input multiple-output (Multiple-input Multiple-output) , ΜΙΜΟ) Block diagram in system 200. In the transmitter system 2i, the data source 212 provides the traffic data in the generated data stream to the transmit (τχ) data processor 214. 10000120-TW-D3/9132-A43727-TW/Final 7 201249229 In a consistent embodiment, each data stream is transmitted via a separate transmit antenna. Transmit data processor 214 formats, codes, interleaves, and provides encoded data data using an encoding method selected specifically for this data stream. Each encoded data stream can be multiplexed with orthogonal data division (〇FDM) and pilot data for multiplex processing. In general, the boot data is a string of known data models that have been processed using some methods, and the boot data can also be used to estimate the channel response at the receiving end. The permutation data and the encoded data after each-multiplex processing can be selected by the modulation method (binary phase offset modulation BPSK, quadrature phase offset modulation qPSK, multi-stage phase offset modulation M- PSK, multi-level quadrature amplitude modulation M_QAM) is used for modulation (symbol mapping). The data transmission rate, coding, and modulation for each data stream is indicated by processor 230. The modulation symbols produced by all of the data streams are then sent to a transmit multiple input multiple output processor 220 to continue processing the modulated symbols (e. g., using positive-parity multiplexing techniques (OFDM)). The transmit multiple input multiple output processor 220 next provides a Ντ modulated symbol stream to the transmitters (TMTR) 222a through 222t. In some cases, the transmit multiple input multiple output processor 220 provides the beamforming weight to the symbol of the data stream and the antenna from which the symbol is being transmitted. Each of the transmitters 222a through 222t receives and processes the respective symbol streams and provides to the plurality of analog 彳s' and adjusts (amplifies, transitions, down regulates) the analog signals to provide modulation suitable for transmission over multiple input multiple output channels. signal. Next, the Ντ modulated signals sent by the transmitters 222a to 222t are each transmitted to the Ντ antennas 224a to 224t. 10000120-TW-D3/9132-A43 727-TW/Final 8 201249229 At the receiver system 250 end, the transmitted modulated signals are received by the Nr antennas 252a through 252r' each signal is transmitted to the respective receiver ( RCVR) 254a to 254r. Each of the receivers 254a through 254r will adjust (amplify, filter, down) the respective received signals, digitize the conditioned signal to provide samples, and then process the samples to provide a corresponding "receiver" symbol stream. The NR received symbol stream is transmitted by the receivers 254a through 254r to the receive data processor 260'. The receive data processor 260 processes the NR received symbol streams transmitted by the receivers 254a through 254r with a particular receive processing technique and provides a τ "measured" symbol. flow. The receive data processor 26 then demodulates, deinterleaves, and decodes each measured symbol stream to restore the traffic data in the data stream. The actions performed at receive data processor 260 are complementary to the actions performed by transmit multiple input multiple output processor 220 and transmit data processor 214 within transmit system 210. The processor 270 periodically determines the precoding matrix to be used (hereinafter δ Η « ). Processor 270 formulates a reverse link message consisting of a matrix index and a rank value. This reverse link message may include information about various communication links and/or receiving data streams. The reverse link message is then sent to the transmit data processor 238, and the data stream transmitted by the data source 236 is also sent to the collection and sent to the modulator 280 for modulation 'adjusted via the receivers 254a through 254r. It is sent back to the transmitter system 210. At the transmitter system 210 end, the modulated signal from the receiver system 250 is received by the antenna 224, adjusted at the transceivers 222a through 222t, demodulated at the demodulator 240, and sent to the receive data processor 242. The reverse link message 244 sent by the 10000120-T W-D3/9132-A43727-T W/Final 9 201249229 receiver system 250 is extracted. The processor 230 then determines the precoding matrix to be used to determine the proportion of beamforming and processes the extracted message. Next, referring to Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is a simplified functional block diagram of a communication device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 3, the communication device 300 can be used to embody the User Equipment (UE) (or Access Terminals (AT)) 116 and 122 in FIG. 1 and the communication system is in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system. A long-term evolution advanced technology (LTE-A), or other systems similar to the above two are preferred. The communication device 300 can include an input device 302, an output device 304, a control circuit 306, a central processing unit (CPU) 308, a memory 310, a program code 312, and a transceiver 314. The control circuit 306 executes the code 312 in the memory 310 through the central processing unit 308, and thereby controls the operations performed in the communication device 300. The communication device 300 can receive the user input signal by using the input device 302 (such as a keyboard or a numeric keypad); the image and sound can also be output by the output device 304 (for example, a screen or a picture card). Transceiver 314 is here used to receive and transmit wireless signals, to send received signals to control circuitry 306, and to wirelessly output signals generated by control circuitry 306. Figure 4 is a simplified functional block diagram showing the execution of code 312 in Figure 3, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the execution code 312 includes an application layer 400, a third layer 402, a second layer 404, and is coupled to the first layer 406. The third layer 402 generally performs radio resource control. The second layer 404 generally performs link control. The first layer 406 is generally responsible for the physical connection. 10000120-TW-D3/9132-A43727-TW/Final 10 201249229 As described in 3GPP RP-110451, a work item for Carrier Aggregation (CA) to enhance the long term evolution technology is agreed in the RAN #51 conference.

器之連續實體下行鏈路控制通道子訊框的定義(例如,持 續時間計時器,非連續接收-不活動計 時器和非連續接收-重新傳輸計時器 {drx~RetransmissionTimer))。當只有一個的非連續接收組 態應用於載波聚合時,本發明提出多種方法來定義一非連 續接收計時器之連續實體下行鏈路控制通道子訊框。所提 出的方法並未考慮一次服務細胞為(Secondary Serving Cel卜 SCell)啟動 / 未啟動(activation/deactivation)的狀態。 在某些情況下,根據TS 36.321,若沒有其他具有與未 啟動之次服務細胞的實體下行鏈路控制通道子訊框重疊的 10000120-TW-D3/9132-A43727-TW/Final 13 201249229 實體下行鏈路控制通道子訊框之已啟動的細胞時,由於〜 使用者設備無法被排程至一未啟動之次服務細胞的實體下 行鏈路控制通道子訊框中,因此,當定義一非連續接收計 時器之連續實體下行鏈路控制通道子訊框時,若參照一未 啟動之次服務細胞的分時雙工上行-下行鏈路組態,可能 是不適當的。尤其是用在非連續接收-不活動計時器 (drx-InactivityTimer)的情況下,由於此非連續接收計時器 會在一未啟動之次服務細胞的實體下行鏈路控制通道子訊 框期間内減少,而這些實體下行鏈路控制通道子訊框是無 法被排程的;因此,考慮一未啟動之次服務細胞的分時雙 工上行-下行鏈路組態可能會減少使用者的排程機會。對 於持續時間計時器(onDurationTimer)及非連續接收重新傳 輸計時器(drx-RetransmissionTimer)而言,可能並無此顧慮。 如3GPP TS36.321中所敘述,一般來說,非連續接收-不活動計時器(drx-InactivityTimer)具體描述在成功解碼一 用以指示一提供使用者之初始上行或下行鏈路數據傳輸之 實體下行鏈路控制通道之後,一使用者設備必須監測之連 續實體下行鏈路控制通道子訊框的數量。並且,可以預期 的是進化B節點可以排程使用者設備至任一配置一實體下 行鏈路控制通道之已啟動之服務細胞的任一實體下行鏈路 控制通道子訊框中。因此,當定義非連續接收-不活動計 時器(drx-InactivityTimer)的連續實體下行鏈路控制通道子 訊框時,考慮所有具有一實體下行鏈路控制通道之已啟動 服務細胞的分時雙工上行-下行鏈路組態應為合理的。 此外,如TS 36.321中所述,概略地說,對於使用者 10000120-TW-D3/9132-A43727-TW/Final 14 201249229 °又備而5,持續時間计時器(onDurationTimer)主要目的係 用以週期地監測實體下行鏈路控制通道,以便進化B節點 能夠在經過一些不活動週期後開始一下行鏈路傳輸。為了 達到此目的’依據主服務細胞(Primary Serving Cell, PCell)的分時雙工上行_下行鏈路組態就足以定義持續時 間計時器(onDurationTimer)。對於大多數時間而言,僅主 服務細胞可持續維持啟動狀態。因此,此種方法是簡單且 足夠的。而進化B郎點無法在一持續時間(〇n_Duration)週 期内於一已啟動的次服務細胞中傳送一實體下行鏈路控制 通道傳輸是一潛在的顧慮。 既然每一混合式自動重送請求(Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest ’ HARQ)程序中具有一非連續接收重新傳輸 計時器(drx-RetransmissionTimer)以及不同的服務細胞具有 不同的混合式自動重送請求程序(如TS 36.321中所討 論),則對於非連續接收重新傳輸計時器 (drx-RetransmissionTimer)而言,可合理地參照對應於服務 細胞或對應於服務細胞之排程細胞的分時雙工上行-下行 鏈路組態。此外,當對應於服務細胞或對應於服務細胞的 排程細胞被停止啟動時,最好停止此非連續接收重新傳輸 計時器(drx-RetransmissionTimer)。 第5圖係根據本發明一實施例之一流程圖500。在步 驟505中,在步驟505中,該使用者設備連接至一主服務 細胞,在一實施例中,此主服務細胞持續處於啟動狀態。 在步驟510中,該使用者設備被配置具有一或多個次服務 細胞。這些次服務細胞包括至少一次服務細胞處於未啟動 10000120-T W-D3/913 2-A43 72 7-T W/F inal 15 201249229 狀態。此外,已連接的主服務細胞及至少一已配置的次服 務細胞之分時雙工上行-下行鏈路組態可能並不相同。在 一實施例中,次服務細胞可能藉由一啟動/未啟動 (Activation/Deactivation)媒體存取控制(Media Access Control,MAC)的控制單元(Control Element,CE)而啟動或 停止啟動。 參考第5圖所示,在步驟515中,於定義一非連續接 收-不活動計時器(drx-InactivityTimer)的連續實體下行鏈 路控制通道子訊框時,將一已啟動之服務細胞之一分時雙 工上行-下行鏈路組態列入考慮。然而,並不考慮未啟動 之服務細胞的分時雙工上行-下行鏈路組態。在一實施例 中,其被考慮用以定義非連續接收-不活動計時器 (drx-InactivityTimer)的連續實體下行鏈路控制通道子訊框 中的已啟動之服務細胞被配置具有一實體下行鏈路控制通 道。再者,用以定義非連續接收-不活動計時器 (drx-InactivityTimer)之實體下行鏈路控制通道子訊框相等 於所有已啟動服務細胞之實體下行鏈路控制通道子訊框之 聯集。除此之外,非連續接收重新傳輸計時器 (drx-RetransmissionTimer)之實體下行鏈路控制通道子訊框 可依據一與此計時器相關之混合式自動重送請求程序的一 服務細胞或其排程細胞之一分時雙工上行-下行鏈路組態 來定義。此外,當對應的次服務細胞或對應的排程細胞被 停止啟動時,則停止非連續接收重新傳輸計時器。並且, 一持續時間計時器的連續實體下行鏈路控制通道子訊框可 依據一已連接的主服務細胞之一分時雙工上行-下行鏈路 10000120-TW-D3/9132-A43727-TW/Final 16 201249229 組態而定義。 參考第3圖及第4圖所示,使用者設備300包括一儲

control channel. For the operation of the crossover duplex user equipment, it represents any subframe; for time division duplex, it only represents the downlink subframe and includes the downlink pilot slot (Downlink Pilot) The sub-frame of Time Slot, DwPTS). For a relay node configured with a relay node that is not suspended, 'in the communication with the Evolved Universal Mobile Communication System land-based wireless access network' it represents the configuration to the relay node and evolution All downlink subframes for communication by the universal mobile communication system land surface wireless access network. U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/483,487 and U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 13/464,472, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. An issue. Roughly speaking, this topic is about the definition of a contiguous entity downlink control channel subframe for a discontinuous reception timer (eg, duration timer, discontinuous reception-inactivity timer, and discontinuous reception-retransmission). Timer {drx~RetransmissionTimer)). When only one discontinuous reception configuration is applied to carrier aggregation, the present invention proposes various methods to define a contiguous entity downlink control channel subframe for a discontinuous reception timer. The proposed method does not consider a state in which the serving cell is (Secondary Serving Celb SCell) activation/deactivation. In some cases, according to TS 36.321, if there is no other 10000120-TW-D3/9132-A43727-TW/Final 13 201249229 entity downlink with the physical downlink control channel subframe overlapping with the un-served secondary serving cell When the link control channel is activated by the cell, since the user device cannot be scheduled to the physical downlink control channel subframe of an unactivated secondary serving cell, when defining a discontinuity When receiving a contiguous physical downlink control channel sub-frame of a timer, it may not be appropriate to refer to a time-division duplex uplink-downlink configuration of an un-initiated secondary serving cell. Especially in the case of a discontinuous reception-inactivity timer (drx-InactivityTimer), since this discontinuous reception timer is reduced during the physical downlink control channel subframe of the unserved secondary serving cell , and these entity downlink control channel subframes cannot be scheduled; therefore, considering the time-division duplex uplink-downlink configuration of an un-initiated secondary serving cell may reduce the user's scheduling opportunities. . There may be no such concerns for the duration timer (onDurationTimer) and the discontinuous reception retransmission timer (drx-RetransmissionTimer). As described in 3GPP TS 36.321, in general, a discontinuous receive-inactivity timer (drx-InactivityTimer) is specifically described in successfully decoding an entity indicating an initial uplink or downlink data transmission of a user. After the downlink control channel, the number of contiguous entity downlink control channel subframes that a user equipment must monitor. Also, it is contemplated that the evolved Node B can schedule the user equipment to any of the physical downlink control channel subframes of the activated serving cells that configure an entity downlink control channel. Therefore, when defining a contiguous entity downlink control channel subframe of a discontinuous receive-inactivity timer (drx-InactivityTimer), consider all time-division duplexing of the activated serving cells with a physical downlink control channel. The uplink-downlink configuration should be reasonable. In addition, as described in TS 36.321, roughly speaking, for the user 10000120-TW-D3/9132-A43727-TW/Final 14 201249229 ° and 5, the duration timer (onDurationTimer) is mainly used for The physical downlink control channel is periodically monitored so that the evolved Node B can begin downlink transmission after some period of inactivity. In order to achieve this, the time-division duplex uplink-downlink configuration based on the Primary Serving Cell (PCell) is sufficient to define a duration timer (onDurationTimer). For most of the time, only the primary serving cell can continue to be activated. Therefore, this method is simple and sufficient. It is a potential concern that the evolutionary Braun point cannot transmit a physical downlink control channel transmission in a activated secondary serving cell for a duration (〇n_Duration) period. Since each Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest 'HARQ program has a discontinuous reception retransmission timer (drx-RetransmissionTimer) and different service cells have different hybrid automatic repeat request procedures (such as As discussed in TS 36.321, for the discontinuous reception retransmission timer (drx-RetransmissionTimer), the time-division duplex uplink-downlink corresponding to the serving cell or the scheduled cell corresponding to the serving cell can be reasonably referred to. Road configuration. Furthermore, it is preferable to stop the discontinuous reception retransmission timer (drx-RetransmissionTimer) when the scheduled cells corresponding to the serving cells or corresponding to the serving cells are stopped. Figure 5 is a flow chart 500 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. In step 505, the user device is coupled to a primary serving cell in step 505. In one embodiment, the primary serving cell is continuously in an active state. In step 510, the user device is configured with one or more secondary serving cells. These secondary serving cells include at least one serving cell in the unactivated state of 10000120-T W-D3/913 2-A43 72 7-T W/F inal 15 201249229. In addition, the time-division duplex uplink-downlink configuration of the connected primary serving cells and at least one configured secondary serving cell may not be the same. In one embodiment, the secondary serving cell may be started or stopped by a Control Element (CE) of an Activation/Deactivation Media Access Control (MAC). Referring to FIG. 5, in step 515, when a contiguous physical downlink control channel subframe of a discontinuous reception-inactivity timer (drx-InactivityTimer) is defined, one of the activated serving cells will be activated. Time-division duplex uplink-downlink configuration is considered. However, the time-division duplex uplink-downlink configuration of unactivated serving cells is not considered. In an embodiment, the activated serving cell in the contiguous entity downlink control channel subframe that is considered to define a discontinuous receive-inactivity timer (drx-InactivityTimer) is configured with a physical downlink Road control channel. Furthermore, the physical downlink control channel subframe used to define the discontinuous receive-inactivity timer (drx-InactivityTimer) is equal to the union of the physical downlink control channel subframes of all activated serving cells. In addition, the physical downlink control channel subframe of the discontinuous reception retransmission timer (drx-RetransmissionTimer) may be based on a serving cell or its row of a hybrid automatic repeat request procedure associated with the timer. One of the process cells is defined by a time division duplex uplink-downlink configuration. In addition, when the corresponding secondary serving cell or the corresponding scheduled cell is stopped, the discontinuous reception retransmission timer is stopped. Moreover, the contiguous entity downlink control channel subframe of a duration timer can be based on one of the connected primary serving cells, the time division duplex uplink-downlink 10000120-TW-D3/9132-A43727-TW/ Final 16 201249229 is defined by configuration. Referring to Figures 3 and 4, user device 300 includes a program code 312 stored in memory 310. In an embodiment, the central processing unit 308 can execute the code 312 to (1) connect the user equipment to a primary serving cell (Primary Serving Celb PCell), (ii) configure the user equipment to have at least one serving cell (Secondary) Serving Cell, SCell), wherein at least one of the cells is in an unactivated state, and the main month cells and the at least one serving cell have an Uplink-Downlink (UL-DL) state, And (iii) dividing a service cell that has been activated when a contiguous physical downlink control channel subframe (PDCCH) of a discontinuous reception-inactivity timer (drx-InactivityTimer) is defined.
