為更好地理解本發明之精神,以下結合本發明之部分較佳實施例對其作進一步說明。 For a better understanding of the spirit of the invention, it will be further described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments of the invention.
協定36.819規定了多個多點協調相關集,其分別為多點協調之協作集(CCS;CoMP Cooperating Set)、多點協調之傳輸集(CTS;CoMP Transmission Point(s)Set)、多點協調之量測集(CMS;CoMP Measurement Set),以及多點協調之資源管理集(CRMS;CoMP Resource Management Set)。 Agreement 36.819 specifies a plurality of multi-point coordination correlation sets, which are a coordinated coordination set (CCS; CoMP Cooperating Set), a coordinated set of coordinated coordinates (CTS; CoMP Transmission Point(s) Set), and multi-point coordination. The measurement set (CMS; CoMP Measurement Set) and the multi-point coordinated resource management set (CRMS; CoMP Resource Management Set).
特定而言,多點協調之協作集中的傳輸點可直接參與時間-頻率資源上之實際資料傳輸,亦可作為候選傳輸點參與時間-頻率資源上之使用者排程/波束成形(beamforming)決策從而間接進行資料傳輸。多點協調之傳輸集為協作集之子集,其中之傳輸點直接向使用者設備傳輸資料。且依不同類型之多點協調實施方案,傳輸集中之傳輸點有不同之定義。如對於聯合傳輸(JT;Joint Transmission),傳輸集之傳輸點可包含用於一定時間-頻率資源之每一子訊框上的協作集中之多個傳輸點;而對於協調排程/波束成形(CS/CB;Coordinated Scheduling/Beamforming)、動態點選擇(DPS;Dynamic Point Selection),及半靜態點選擇(SSPS;Semi-Static Point Selection),傳輸集中之單一傳輸點為用於一定時間-頻率資源之每一子訊框上的協作集中之一個傳輸點。多點協調之量測集為使用者設備需回饋與其建立鏈路之頻道狀態資訊(CSI;Channel State Information)的頻道狀態資訊-參考信號(CSI Reference Signal;CSI-RS)資源之集合,其特定定義參見協定36.819之5.2.2條款。多點協調之資源管理集為CSI-RS資源之集合,使用者設備需量測與報告此等CSI-RS資源之參考信號接收功率(RSRP;Reference Signal Receiving Power)。 In particular, a coordinated set of coordinated points in a multi-point coordination can directly participate in actual data transmission on time-frequency resources, or as a candidate transmission point to participate in user scheduling/beamforming decisions on time-frequency resources. Thereby indirect data transmission. The multi-point coordinated transmission set is a subset of the cooperative set, wherein the transmission point directly transmits data to the user equipment. And according to different types of coordinated coordination schemes, the transmission points in the transmission set have different definitions. For joint transmission (JT), the transmission point of the transmission set may include multiple transmission points in a cooperative set on each subframe of a certain time-frequency resource; and for coordinated scheduling/beamforming ( CS/CB; Coordinated Scheduling/Beamforming), Dynamic Point Selection (DPS), and Semi-Static Point Selection (SSPS), a single transmission point in the transmission set is used for certain time-frequency resources. One of the transmission points in the collaboration set on each sub-frame. The multi-point coordinated measurement set is a set of channel state information-CSI Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resources that the user equipment needs to feedback channel state information (CSI; Channel State Information). For the definition, see clause 5.2.2 of Agreement 36.819. The multi-point coordinated resource management set is a set of CSI-RS resources, and the user equipment needs to measure and report the reference signal receiving power (RSRP) of the CSI-RS resources.
基地台根據不同的環境及要求來管理、分配,或更新此等不同 的多點協調相關集,而如何以低傳信負擔及功率消耗實現勢必成為多點協調發展中需要解決之問題。 The base station manages, assigns, or updates these differences according to different environments and requirements. The multi-point coordination related set, and how to achieve low transmission burden and power consumption is bound to become a problem that needs to be solved in the coordinated development of multiple points.

以下結合圖1、2,對根據本發明之一實施例之使用者設備20側管理多點協調相關集的方法作詳細描述。 A method for managing a multi-point coordinated correlation set on the side of the user equipment 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS.
在多點協調中,網路側,如基地台向使用者設備20分配不同類型之集合,即多點協調之協作集、多點協調之傳輸集、多點協調之量測集,以及多點協調之資源管理集。 In the multi-point coordination, the network side, for example, the base station, allocates different types of sets to the user equipment 20, that is, a multi-point coordinated cooperative set, a multi-point coordinated transmission set, a multi-point coordinated measurement set, and multi-point coordination. Resource management set.
在步驟10,使用者設備20之參考信號接收功率量測裝置22量測多點協調之資源管理集中的CSI-RS資源之參考信號接收功率。在步驟12,由使用者設備20之參考信號接收功率報告裝置24向網路側報告所量測之CSI-RS資源之參考信號接收功率。網路側在接收到量測報告後對其進行評估,如判定所量測之參考信號接收功率高於一定臨限值,則將該CSI-RS資源添加至多點協調之量測集且發出相關之傳信。在一實施例中,該傳信為無線電資源控制傳信(RRC;Radio Resource Control)傳信。接著在步驟14,使用者設備20之傳信接收裝置26自網路側接收將該CSI-RS資源添加至多點協調之量測集的傳信。但在步驟16,根據本發明之一實施例,即使該CSI-RS資源添加至多點協調之量測集,參考信號接收功率量測裝置22仍繼續量測該CSI-RS資源之參考信號接收功率且向網路側報告。網路側在管理該量測集時仍基於該CSI-RS資源之參考信號接收功率,一旦該CSI-RS資源之參考信號接收功率低於預定臨限值,或低於相較於參考CSI-RS資源之預定臨限值,自多點協調之量測集中移除該CSI-RS資源。該參考CSI-RS資源可由基地台指定或由使用者設備20自身設定。而根據本發明之另一實施例,網路側在管理該量測集時基於該CSI-RS資源之頻道狀態資訊,避免不必要之功率損耗及上行鏈路上之報告負擔。即在接收到將CSI-RS資源添加至多點協調之量測集的傳信後,參考信號接收功率量測裝置22停止量測添加至量測集之CSI-RS資源之參考信號接收功率。 In step 10, the reference signal received power measuring device 22 of the user equipment 20 measures the reference signal received power of the CSI-RS resources in the multi-point coordinated resource management set. At step 12, the reference signal received power reporting means 24 of the user equipment 20 reports the reference signal received power of the measured CSI-RS resources to the network side. The network side evaluates the measurement report after receiving the measurement report. If it is determined that the measured reference signal received power is higher than a certain threshold, the CSI-RS resource is added to the multi-point coordinated measurement set and the relevant is sent. Signaling. In an embodiment, the signaling is radio resource control signaling (RRC; Radio Resource Control). Next, in step 14, the communication receiving device 26 of the user equipment 20 receives, from the network side, the transmission of the CSI-RS resource to the multi-point coordinated measurement set. However, in step 16, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the reference signal received power measuring device 22 continues to measure the reference signal receiving power of the CSI-RS resource even if the CSI-RS resource is added to the multi-point coordinated measurement set. And report to the network side. The network side still receives power based on the reference signal of the CSI-RS resource when managing the measurement set, once the reference signal received power of the CSI-RS resource is lower than a predetermined threshold, or lower than the reference CSI-RS. The predetermined threshold of the resource, the CSI-RS resource is removed from the multi-point coordinated measurement set. The reference CSI-RS resource may be specified by the base station or by the user equipment 20 itself. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the network side manages the measurement set based on the channel state information of the CSI-RS resource, thereby avoiding unnecessary power loss and reporting burden on the uplink. That is, after receiving the transmission of adding the CSI-RS resource to the multi-point coordinated measurement set, the reference signal received power measuring device 22 stops measuring the reference signal received power added to the CSI-RS resource of the measurement set.
相應地,圖3、4分別為根據本發明之一實施例的網路側之管理多點協調相關集的方法與裝置。其中,圖3展示根據本發明之另一實施例之網路側管理多點協調相關集的方法之流程圖,圖4展示根據本發明之另一實施例之網路側管理多點協調相關集的裝置,如基地台40之結構方塊圖。 Accordingly, FIGS. 3 and 4 are respectively a method and apparatus for managing a coordinated multi-point correlation set on the network side according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3 is a flowchart showing a method for managing a multipoint coordination correlation set by a network side according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a device for managing a multipoint coordination correlation set by a network side according to another embodiment of the present invention. , such as the block diagram of the base station 40.
在步驟30,基地台40之量測報告接收裝置42自使用者基地台20之參考信號接收功率報告裝置24接收多點協調之資源管理集中的CSI-RS資源之參考信號接收功率的量測報告,且在步驟32中由判定裝置44基於所接收之量測報告判定是否發出將該CSI-RS資源添加至多點協調之量測集的傳信。舉例而言,判定裝置44判定所量測之參考信號接收功率高於一定臨限值,則將該CSI-RS資源添加至多點協調之量測集且發出相關之傳信。在步驟34中,根據本發明之一實施例,即使將CSI-RS資源添加至多點協調之量測集,量測報告接收裝置42仍繼續自 使用者設備20接收該CSI-RS資源之參考信號接收功率的量測報告。基地台40在管理該量測集時仍基於該CSI-RS資源之參考信號接收功率,一旦該CSI-RS資源之參考信號接收功率低於預定臨限值,或低於相較於參考CSI-RS資源之預定臨限值,多點協調之量測集中移除該CSI-RS資源將且發送無線電資源控制傳信以通知使用者設備。而根據本發明之另一實施例,在CSI-RS資源添加至多點協調之量測集後,量測報告接收裝置42不再接收該CSI-RS資源之參考信號接收功率的量測報告。基地台40在管理該量測集時係基於該CSI-RS資源之頻道狀態資訊,從而避免不必要之功率損耗及上行鏈路上之報告負擔。 In step 30, the measurement report receiving device 42 of the base station 40 receives the measurement report of the reference signal received power of the CSI-RS resource in the multi-point coordinated resource management set from the reference signal received power reporting device 24 of the user base station 20. And in step 32, the determining device 44 determines whether to send a signal to add the CSI-RS resource to the multi-point coordinated measurement set based on the received measurement report. For example, if the determining device 44 determines that the measured reference signal received power is above a certain threshold, the CSI-RS resource is added to the multi-point coordinated measurement set and the associated signaling is sent. In step 34, according to an embodiment of the present invention, even if the CSI-RS resource is added to the multi-point coordinated measurement set, the measurement report receiving device 42 continues from the measurement set. The user equipment 20 receives the measurement report of the reference signal received power of the CSI-RS resource. The base station 40 still receives power based on the reference signal of the CSI-RS resource when managing the measurement set, once the reference signal received power of the CSI-RS resource is lower than a predetermined threshold, or lower than the reference CSI- The predetermined threshold of the RS resource, the multi-point coordinated measurement set removes the CSI-RS resource and sends a radio resource control signaling to notify the user equipment. According to another embodiment of the present invention, after the CSI-RS resource is added to the multi-point coordinated measurement set, the measurement report receiving device 42 no longer receives the measurement report of the reference signal received power of the CSI-RS resource. The base station 40 manages the measurement set based on channel state information of the CSI-RS resource, thereby avoiding unnecessary power loss and reporting burden on the uplink.
根據本發明之不同實施例,停止量測該CSI-RS資源之參考信號接收功率可由網路側發送之無線電資源控制傳信以指示使用者設備20停止,或由使用者設備20自動停止。特定而言,根據本發明之一實施例,基地台40發出的將CSI-RS資源添加至多點協調之量測集的傳信為無線電資源控制傳信,該無線電資源控制傳信中包含是否自資源管理集中移除該CSI-RS資源之指示。舉例而言,該指示值設定為0,即指示自資源管理集中移除該CSI-RS資源,使用者設備20相應地停止量測及報告該CSI-RS資源之參考信號接收功率;而指示值設定為1,即指示將該CSI-RS資源保留在資源管理集中,使用者設備20將繼續量測及報告該CSI-RS資源之參考信號接收功率。而根據本發明之另一實施例,使用者設備20不受基地台40之控制,其自動停止量測該CSI-RS資源之參考信號接收功率。使用者設備20在接收到將CSI-RS資源分配給量測集之無線電資源控制傳信後,進一步檢查該CSI-RS資源是否屬於多點協調之資源管理集。對於自多點協調之資源管理集添加至量測集之CSI-RS資源,在設有參考CSI-RS資源之情況下,使用者設備20亦檢查該CSI-RS資源是否為參考CSI-RS資源。若該CSI-RS資源為參考CSI-RS資源,則使用者設備20可選擇不停止量測該CSI-RS資源之參 考信號接收功率,或在設定新的參考CSI-RS資源後才停止量測該CSI-RS資源之參考信號接收功率。 According to various embodiments of the present invention, stopping the measurement of the reference signal received power of the CSI-RS resource may be performed by the radio resource control signaling sent by the network side to indicate that the user equipment 20 is stopped, or automatically stopped by the user equipment 20. In particular, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the signaling sent by the base station 40 to add the CSI-RS resource to the multi-point coordinated measurement set is a radio resource control signaling, and the radio resource control signaling includes whether The resource management centrally removes the indication of the CSI-RS resource. For example, the indication value is set to 0, that is, the CSI-RS resource is removed from the resource management set, and the user equipment 20 stops measuring and reporting the reference signal receiving power of the CSI-RS resource accordingly; Set to 1, indicating that the CSI-RS resource is reserved in the resource management set, and the user equipment 20 will continue to measure and report the reference signal received power of the CSI-RS resource. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the user equipment 20 is not controlled by the base station 40, and automatically stops measuring the reference signal received power of the CSI-RS resource. After receiving the radio resource control signaling for allocating CSI-RS resources to the measurement set, the user equipment 20 further checks whether the CSI-RS resource belongs to the multi-point coordinated resource management set. For the CSI-RS resource added to the measurement set from the multi-point coordinated resource management set, if the reference CSI-RS resource is provided, the user equipment 20 also checks whether the CSI-RS resource is a reference CSI-RS resource. . If the CSI-RS resource is a reference CSI-RS resource, the user equipment 20 may choose not to stop measuring the CSI-RS resource. The signal received power is measured, or the reference signal received power of the CSI-RS resource is stopped after the new reference CSI-RS resource is set.
此外,隨著多點協調技術之進一步發展,基於次要小區(Scell)之多點協調已成為可能。所謂次要小區為自載波聚合(CA;Carrier Aggregation)之角度解釋多點協調中之場景3中之微型小區(Pico cell)。在載波聚合之情況下,多點協調中之場景3中之巨型小區(Macro cell)為主要小區(Pcell),微型小區即為次要小區。由於資源管理集中之次要小區可能經啟動或未啟動,而目前僅支援對啟動之次要小區之頻道狀態資訊的量測;一旦要添加至量測集之CSI-RS資源屬於未啟動之次要小區,則如何進行頻道狀態資訊之量測及回饋為必須解決之問題。為解決此問題,一種方式為等待基地台側發送媒體存取控制-控制元素(MAC CE;Medium Access Control-Control Element)傳信以啟動該次要小區,但MAC CE傳信之非即時特性決定此情形將延遲使用者設備20之頻道狀態資訊回饋,進而影響基地台40之排程過程。而根據本發明之一實施例,基地台40無需發送該MAC CE傳信,使用者設備20在接收到基地台40將屬於未啟動之次要小區之CSI-RS資源添加至量測集之無線電資源控制傳信後,立即量測該CSI-RS資源而不管該次要小區是否啟動。 In addition, with the further development of multi-point coordination technology, multi-point coordination based on secondary cells (Scell) has become possible. The so-called secondary cell explains the Pico cell in scenario 3 in multi-point coordination from the perspective of carrier aggregation (CA; Carrier Aggregation). In the case of carrier aggregation, the macro cell in the scenario 3 of the multipoint coordination is the primary cell (Pcell), and the micro cell is the secondary cell. Since the secondary cell in the resource management set may be activated or not activated, currently only the channel state information of the activated secondary cell is supported; once the CSI-RS resource to be added to the measurement set belongs to the unstarted time For the cell, how to measure and feedback the channel status information is a problem that must be solved. To solve this problem, one way is to wait for the base station side to send a Medium Access Control-Control Element (MAC CE; Medium Access Control-Control Element) to initiate the secondary cell, but the non-instantaneous characteristics of the MAC CE signaling determine this. The situation will delay the channel state information feedback of the user equipment 20, thereby affecting the scheduling process of the base station 40. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the base station 40 does not need to send the MAC CE signaling, and the user equipment 20 receives the CSI-RS resource belonging to the secondary cell that is not activated by the base station 40 to the radio of the measurement set. After the resource control signaling, the CSI-RS resource is measured immediately regardless of whether the secondary cell is activated.
另一方面,由於各種多點協調之相關集為動態或半靜態變化的,因此基地台40需要相應地通知使用者設備20。為使得使用者設備20清楚無誤之區分相關集內之每一CSI-RS資源或傳輸點,在將來自資源管理集中之CSI-RS資源添加至多點協調之量測集時,基地台40為該CSI-RS資源指派一新的識別符,在一實施例中,該識別符不同於該CSI-RS資源在資源管理集中之識別符。如此,使用者設備20可清楚瞭解新添加至量測集之CSI-RS資源是否自來資源管理集。藉由設定新的識別符,可使用無線電資源控制傳信識別自多點協調量測集中移除之 CSI-RS資源,從而節省傳信負擔。另一方面,該識別符亦基於每一傳輸時間間隔(TTI;Transmission Time Interval)之實體下行鏈路控制頻道(PDCCH;Physical Downlink Control Channel)的載波指示欄位來區分動態選擇之傳輸點。此外,該識別符亦可用於多點協調之協作集及傳輸集的管理,向協作集及傳輸集增加或移除傳輸點。 On the other hand, since the correlation set of various multipoint coordinations is dynamically or semi-statically changed, the base station 40 needs to notify the user equipment 20 accordingly. In order for the user equipment 20 to clearly distinguish each CSI-RS resource or transmission point in the correlation set, when the CSI-RS resource from the resource management set is added to the multi-point coordinated measurement set, the base station 40 is The CSI-RS resource assigns a new identifier, which in one embodiment is different from the identifier of the CSI-RS resource in the resource management set. In this way, the user equipment 20 can clearly understand whether the CSI-RS resource newly added to the measurement set is a self-managed resource management set. By setting a new identifier, the radio resource control signaling can be removed from the multipoint coordination measurement set. CSI-RS resources, thus saving the burden of signaling. On the other hand, the identifier also distinguishes the dynamically selected transmission point based on the carrier indication field of the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) of each transmission time interval (TTI). In addition, the identifier can also be used for multi-point coordinated collaboration set and transmission set management, adding or removing transmission points to the collaboration set and the transport set.
在進行多點協調之協作集及傳輸集之管理時,使用PDCCH或MAC CE傳信由此等集合之更新頻率決定。根據本發明之一實施例,若協作集及/或傳輸集係每一傳輸時間間隔變化的,則可使用PDCCH識別協作集及/或傳輸集中之傳輸點之內容,PDCCH需要多個載波指示欄位來承載所有分配給使用者設備20之協作集及/或傳輸集之資訊。每一載波指示欄位指示一量測集中之CSI-RS資源識別符。而根據本發明之另一實施例,協作集及/或傳輸集並非係每一傳輸時間間隔變化的,而係以半靜態之方式變化。此時可使用MAC CE傳信進行多點協調之協作集及傳輸集之管理。當使用者設備20接收到MAC CE傳信時,協作集及/或傳輸集直至收到下一MAC CE傳信才會變化,該MAC CE傳信可呈位元映射形式或包含特定識別符之媒體存取控制-控制元素。此時,基地台40可進一步包含媒體存取控制-控制元素發送裝置46,其發送媒體存取控制-控制元素,以分配多點協調之協作集/多點協調之傳輸集。在使用位元映射時,每一位元代表一個傳輸點,或者係基於量測集識別符索引資訊或基於量測集識別符索引順序資訊。相應地,使用者設備20進一步包含媒體存取控制-控制元素接收裝置28,其接收該媒體存取控制-控制元素。 In the management of coordinated sets and transmission sets for coordinated multi-point, PDCCH or MAC CE signaling is used to determine the update frequency of such sets. According to an embodiment of the present invention, if the cooperation set and/or the transmission set change every transmission time interval, the content of the transmission point in the cooperation set and/or the transmission set may be identified by using the PDCCH, and the PDCCH needs multiple carrier indication columns. The bits carry all of the information assigned to the collaboration set and/or transport set of the user device 20. Each carrier indication field indicates a CSI-RS resource identifier in a measurement set. According to another embodiment of the invention, the set of cooperation and/or the set of transmissions are not changed for each transmission time interval, but are changed in a semi-static manner. At this time, MAC CE signaling can be used for multi-point coordinated collaboration set and transmission set management. When the user equipment 20 receives the MAC CE signaling, the cooperation set and/or the transmission set will not change until the next MAC CE signaling is received. The MAC CE signaling may be in the form of a bit mapping or contain a specific identifier. Media Access Control - Control Elements. At this time, the base station 40 may further include a medium access control-control element transmitting means 46 that transmits a medium access control-control element to allocate a multi-point coordinated cooperative set/multipoint coordinated transmission set. When using a bit map, each bit represents a transmission point, or based on the measurement set identifier index information or based on the measurement set identifier index order information. Accordingly, the user device 20 further includes a media access control-control element receiving device 28 that receives the media access control-control element.
