The present invention relates to a user equipment (UE) support mode and an identifier support technique.

Wireless mobile communication technologies use various standards and protocols to transfer data between a node (e.g., a transmission station) and a wireless device (e.g., a mobile device). Some wireless devices use orthogonal frequency division multiplexing multiple access (OFDMA) in one downlink (DL) transmission and single carrier frequency division multiplexing multiple access (SC-FDMA) in one uplink (UL) ) to communicate. Standards and protocols for the use of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) for signal transmission include the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE), an industry group commonly known as WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) The Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEEE) 802.16 standards (eg, 802.16e, 802.16m), and the industry group commonly known as the IEEE 802.11 standard for WiFi.

In a 3GPP Radio Access Network (RAN) LTE system, the node may be an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) Node B (also often referred to as an evolved Node B, an enhanced Node B, an eNodeB, or eNB) and a combination of a Radio Network Controller (RNC) that communicates with a wireless device called a User Equipment (UE). The downlink (DL) transmission may be from one of the nodes (e.g., eNodeB) to the wireless device (e.g., UE), and the uplink (UL) transmission may be from one of the wireless devices to the node.

In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, there is, in particular, a device operable to communicate with one or more transmission receiving points, a user equipment (UE), the device comprising a memory; and one or more processors, Combination: Select one or more UE modes, including a new radio (NR) support reception (Rx) mode, an NR dual connection support Rx mode, and an NR triple connection support Rx mode, and a dual beam support An Rx mode, and a multi-beam support Rx mode; storing the selected modes in the memory; generating a UE capability list for the one or more selected UE modes; and encoding a UE capability list of the selected UE mode to For transmission to an extended eNodeB to enable the UE to communicate with the extended eNodeB or one or more extended transmission receive points (TRPs) using the one or more selected modes.

Before the present technology is disclosed and described, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific structures, program acts or materials described herein, but rather extended to the equivalents thereof The person will recognize it. It should also be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular examples and is not intended to be limiting. The same reference symbols in different figures represent the same elements. Numerical symbols provided in the flowcharts and the procedures are provided for the purpose of clearly illustrating the acts and operations, and do not necessarily indicate a particular order or order. Illustrative embodiment

An initial overview of one of the technical embodiments is provided below, and then specific technical embodiments are described in further detail below. This initial summary is intended to assist the reader in a more rapid understanding of the technology, but is not intended to identify key features or important features of the technology, and is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed content.

As wireless data traffic has increased due to the deployment of 3GPP fourth-generation (4G) communication systems, an improved fifth-generation (5G) communication system has been developed. Therefore, it is considered to implement a 3GPP 5G communication system, such as the 60 GHz band, in a higher frequency band (mmWave) in order to achieve a higher data rate. In order to reduce the propagation loss of radio waves and increase the transmission distance, beamforming, large-scale multiple input multiple output (MIMO), full-dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO), array antenna, analog beamforming, and the like can be provided in the 3GPP 5G communication system. Large scale antenna tips.

In addition, in the 3GPP 5G communication system, the development of system network improvement is based on advanced small cells, cloud radio access network (RAN), ultra-dense network, inter-device (D2D) communication, wireless reload, mobile network. Road, cooperative communication, coordinated multi-point (CoMP), receiver-side interference cancellation, and the like are in progress. In the 3GPP 5G system, hybrid FSK and QAM modulation (FQAM) and sliding window overlay writing (SWSC), and filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC), as an advanced write code modulation (ACM), have also been developed. Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), and sparse code multiple access (SCMA) as an advanced access technology.

In addition, wireless communication-related Internet applications may include Internet of Things (IoT) that are now available for machine type communication (MTC), key MTC, and the like. This IoT environment provides a smart Internet technology service that builds new value by collecting and analyzing the data generated by connected things. Through the convergence and combination of existing information technology (IT) and various industrial applications, IoT can be applied in a variety of fields, including smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, smart grids, health care, and wisdom. Home appliances and advanced medical services.

In one aspect, the 3GPP 5G communication system can be used in an IoT network. For example, techniques such as a sensor network, machine type communication (MTC), and inter-machine (M2M) communication can be implemented by beamforming, MIMO, and array antennas. The application of a cloud radio access network (RAN) as the above-mentioned massive data processing technology can also be regarded as an example of convergence between 5G technology and IoT technology.

Furthermore, in a narrow beam-based wireless communication system, a transmission receive (transmission and reception) point (TRP) can form a beam cell, which can also be referred to as a fifth generation (5G) radio access technology (RAT) beam. Cell. These beam cells can be operated by enhancing advanced multiple input multiple output (MIMO), or massive MIMO systems, and cooperative multipoint (CoMP) transmission and reception schemes. Beam cells are expected to be one of the key features of 5G wireless communication systems because the use of beam cells can improve spectral efficiency via high-order multi-user MIMO. In addition, beam cells can extend cellular communication to bands above 6 GHz. For the overall beam cell design of 5G wireless communication systems, it is expected that the downlink physical control channel can efficiently support beamforming-centric system operation and flexible multi-point transmission to be seamless under mobility and channel congestion conditions. User experience.

In one aspect, 3GPP 5G provides requirements and specifications for supporting mobile broadband, large-scale MTC, and critical MTC for a new radio (NR) system. In the NR system, a wireless communication network can be assumed to be beamformed with the UE to achieve high antenna gain to compensate for the propagation loss of the high frequency band. Mobility has become one of the biggest challenges. As described herein, the present technology provides a solution for a User Equipment (UE) to communicate with a 3GPP 5G ("Extended") eNodeB and/or 3GPP 5G ("Extended") Transmission Receive Point (TRP).

The UE may select one or more UE modes, including a new radio (NR) support reception (Rx) mode, an NR dual connection support Rx mode, and an NR triple connection support Rx mode, and a dual beam support Rx mode. And a pair of beams support Rx mode and/or multi-beam support Rx mode. For transmission to an extended eNodeB, the UE may encode the selected UE mode to enable the UE to connect to the extended eNodeB, or via an extension interface to one or more extended transmission receive points (TRPs) of the extended eNodeB. One or more communications. The extension interface is a 3GPP LTE air interface that has been extended to provide 3GPP 5G communication capabilities.

1 illustrates a mobile communication network within a cell 100 having an evolved Node B (eNB or eNodeB) with a mobile device. 1 illustrates an eNB 104 that may be associated with an anchor cell, a macro cell, or a primary cell. Cell 100 may also include a mobile device, such as one of the user equipment (UE or UEs) 108 that may be in communication with eNB 104. The eNB 104 may be a station that communicates with the UE 108, and may also be referred to as a base station, a Node B, an access point, and the like. In one example, the eNB 104 coverage and connectivity capabilities may be a high transmission power eNB, such as a macro eNB. The eNB 104 may be responsible for mobility and may also be responsible for Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling. The UE or the UEs 108 may be supported by the macro eNB 104. The eNB 104 can provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In 3GPP, the term "cell" may mean a geographic coverage area of a particular eNB, and/or serve an eNB subsystem of the coverage area with an associated carrier frequency and a bandwidth, depending on the use of the word. Depending on the background.

2 illustrates a simplified diagram of a radio frame resource (e.g., a resource grid) for downlink (DL) transmission, including one of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), according to an example. In this example, one of the signals 200 for transmitting a data signal can be grouped to have a duration Tf of 10 milliseconds (ms). Each radio frame can be segmented or divided into ten sub-frames 210i each of 1 millisecond (ms) long. Each sub-frame can be further subdivided into two time slots 220a and 220b, each having a duration of 0.5 ms Tslot. In an example, the first time slot (#0) 220a may include a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) 260 and/or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) 266, and the second time slot (# 1) 220b may include data transmitted using PDSCH.

Each time slot of a component carrier (CC) used by the node and the wireless device may include a plurality of resource blocks (RBs) 230a, 230b, 230i, 230m, and 230n based on the CC bandwidth. The CC can include a bandwidth and a center frequency within the bandwidth. In an example, one of the CC subframes may include downlink control information (DCI) found in the PDCCH. When an old PDCCH is used, the PDCCH in the control region may include one subframe or three rows of the first OFDM symbol in the entity RB (PRB). The remaining 11 to 13 OFDM symbols in the subframe (or 14 OFDM symbols when the legacy PDCCH is not used) may be allocated to the PDSCH for data (in short or normal cyclic prefix). For example, the term "time slot" can be used in "sub-frame" when used in this article, or "transmission time interval (TTI)" can be used for "frame" or "frame continuous" when used in this article. time". In addition, a frame can be viewed as a particular user transfer amount (such as a TTI associated with a user and a data stream).

Each RB (Entity RB or PRB) 230i may include 12 subcarriers 236 of 15 kHz subcarrier spacing, for a total of 180 kHz (on the frequency axis), which may also include 6 or 7 orthogonal times per time slot Frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol 232 (on the time axis). If a short or normal cyclic prefix is used, the RB can use seven OFDM symbols. If an extended cyclic prefix is used, the RB can use six OFDM symbols. Resource blocks may be mapped to 84 resource elements (REs) 240i using short or normal cyclic prefixes, or resource blocks may be mapped to 72 REs (not shown) using extended cyclic prefixes. The RE may be one unit of one OFDM symbol 242 of one subcarrier (i.e., 15 kHz) 246.

The quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation is used to illustrate that each RE can transmit information of two bits 250a and 250b. Other modulation types can be used, such as using 4 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) to transmit 4 bits per RE, or 64 QAM to transmit 6 bits in each RE, or using bi-phase shift keying (BPSK) Modulation to transmit a smaller number of bits (single bit) in each RE. The RB may be allocated for one downlink transmission from the eNodeB to the UE, or the RB may be allocated for uplink transmission from one of the UE to the eNodeB.

In one aspect, 3GPP 5G provides requirements and specifications for supporting mobile broadband, large-scale MTC, and critical MTC for a new radio (NR) system. In an NR system, it can be assumed that a wireless communication network and a UE can perform beamforming to achieve high antenna gain to compensate for propagation loss in the high frequency band. Mobility has become one of the biggest challenges. Beam concept in 3GGP 5G

In one aspect, the present technology provides a 3GPP 5G solution that is different from 3GPP LTE by adding beamforming capabilities at the UE and at one or more Transmission Receive Points (TRPs), as shown in FIG. Figure 3 shows a deployment diagram of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) next-generation wireless communication system, called the fifth generation "5G", with macrocells and small cells in the common channel, and small inter-frequency Cell and beamforming. An eNB 312 can have multiple TRPs 314a through 314c (either centralized or decentralized). Each of the TRPs 314a to 314c may form a plurality of beams. The number of beams and the simultaneous beams depend on the number of antenna arrays at the TRP and the RF. Similarly, a UE 310 can also perform beamforming toward the TRPs 314a through 314c. UE 310 may have a single beam and/or multiple beams, again depending on UE capabilities. Beam scanning

Since the coverage of a narrow beam is small, in order to cover 360 degrees, a UE and/or TRP can be constrained by beamforming in all directions according to a TDM mode until 360 degrees are fully covered. For example, assume that each bundle is 15 degrees wide. If there is only one beam that can be formed simultaneously by TRP, 24 beam scans will be taken to cover 360 degrees. Thus, one embodiment of the present technology provides different beam support in higher layer NRs. In one aspect, NR and 3GPP 5G may be used interchangeably or referred to. It can also be assumed that an eNB can be equipped with multiple RF chains and multiple beams can be formed simultaneously towards multiple UEs.

Referring now to Figure 4, there is shown a deployment diagram of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) next-generation wireless communication system, called the fifth generation "5G" 400, with macrocell and small cell overlays. . In one aspect, one or more 3GPP 5G deployments may be used, which may include, for example, an option 1) an independent 3GPP 5G wireless communication system deployment, option 2) a 3GPP 5G wireless communication with a macro stack The system, as well as option 3) is deployed with a 3GPP 5G wireless communication system with one of the macro and small cells. Figure 4 includes an eNodeB 412 having communication with one or more TRPs 414a through 414d. 4 illustrates option 3 with macros and small, inter-frequency small cells (420) in the common channel (422), and 3GPP 5G beamforming TRPs 414a through 414d (which may be collectively referred to and/or Individually referred to as "414"). One of the UEs 410 in the 3GPP 5G wireless communication system may have to discover different deployments and hand over when moving or transiting. UE support mode in 3GPP 5G

In 3GPP LTE, a UE may be an old UE or may be dual-wired to a macro cell and a small cell. In 3GPP 5G, the granularity of communication with a 5G enabled RAT can be extended from communication with different nodes (as occurs in 3GPP LTE) to communication using multiple beams transmitted from one or more nodes. This granularity is referred to as a beam level communication in the case of a 3GPP 5G RAT.

A UE operating in 3GPP 5G may operate in one or more modes. For example, 1) a UE mode may be a single 3GPP 5G UE, where the 3GPP 5G UE may be connected to a 3GPP 5G node or a 3GPP-LTE node one at a time.

In a second mode, the UE may be a dual-link 3GPP 5G UE that can be simultaneously connected to two nodes, including 1) a 3GPP LTE macro cell and a 3GPP 5G small cell (LTE-5G). 2) a 3GPP 5G macro cell and a 3GPP LTE small cell (5G-LTE); and/or a 3GPP 5G macro cell and a 3GPP 5G small cell (5G-5G). In an embodiment, the macro cell may include an MeNB, and the small cell may include a SeNB.

In another mode, the 3GPP 5G UE may be a three-wire 3GPP 5G UE that can be simultaneously connected to one of the three cells. In this embodiment, the 3GPP 5G UE can be wired to a 3GPP LTE macro cell with one MeNB, and a 3GPP 5G or 3GPP LTE cell as a SeNB.

In another embodiment, the 3GPP 5G UE may also be capable of performing a dual beam or multiple beam connection. Each cell (ie, MeNB or SeNB) may include multiple beams that can be simultaneously connected to the 3GPP 5G UE. In one example, two beams, referred to as a dual beam or dual connectivity, can be used to cause the 3GPP 5G UE to simultaneously connect with one or more of the MeNB and the SeNB. In another embodiment, three or more beams, referred to as a multi-beam operation or multiple beams, may be used to connect the 3GPP 5G UE to one or more of the MeNB and the SeNB.

Referring now to FIG. 5, an example of UE capabilities for supporting single and dual connectivity changes for each UE mode is shown in accordance with the 13th edition of 3GPP TS 36.331. Figure 5 illustrates the present technology with new additional content (e.g., adding additional content to the bottom line for ease of illustration). The UE capabilities may include UE support for new radios, new radio dual connectivity support, and new radio dual and/or multi-beam support. Furthermore, FIG. 6 illustrates a User Equipment (UE)-Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) field description table. A 3GPP LTE 5G UE can send UE capabilities to the network as soon as it is wired, as occurs in a typical 3GPP LTE connection setup. According to NR, the connection settings can be changed dynamically or changed according to the network request. Once the 3GPP LTE 5G UE capability indication for the network is completed, the network can communicate with the 3GPP 5G UE via the UE capability to assemble different combinations such as dual-wired or multi-wired, or dual-beam or multi-beam operation. feature. UE capabilities may also be used for handover (HO) with 3GPP 5G UEs and the like.

Alternatively, the capabilities of the 3GPP 5G UE can be expressed as a parameter. For example, a parameter information element (IE) may contain all parameters for assembling each of the UE modes, as described herein. It should be understood that as described in this example, only a high order parameter exemplary IE is provided.

For example, Figure 7 provides another virtual code map that illustrates how an NR parameter information element can communicate an instance of a 3GPP 5G UE. With the implementation of 3GPP 5G dual connectivity, multiple connectivity, dual beam, and multi-beam capabilities, additional lower order parameters can be developed. In an example, the 3GPP TS36.331 Release 13 version of the UE-EUTRA Capability 13x0 version can be added to support UE mode dual connectivity, multiple connectivity, dual beam, and multi-beam capability. Additional information component. It should be understood that the new addition to the 13th edition of 3GPP TS 36.331 is for the sake of illustration and the bottom line is added. Identifier (ID)

In 3GPP LTE, a cell may have a global cell ID and/or a physical cell identifier (PCI). In 3GPP 5G, the technology introduces a beam as an additional dimension, as previously described. Thus, as described herein, one of the 3GPP 5G cells can mean one of two options. In option 1, a TRP can be a cell. In option 1, there can be only one TRP identifier (ID). In one aspect, the cell ID can be reused as a TRP ID. In option 2, the TRP can have multiple cells, and each cell can form multiple beams. In option 2, an additional TRP ID can be added and used with the cell ID for inter-TRP mobility.

In an additional aspect, a different beam may have an identifier. In option 1, the beam can share the same ID (eg, beam ID) across one or more TRPs. In option 2, the individual beams may have a unique beam ID.

One or more identifiers may also be transparent to the UE. In option 1, various IDs (eg, beam ID, cell ID, TRP ID, etc.) are not transparent to the UE. In option 2, only the beam ID is transparent to the UE, while the other various IDs are not transparent to the UE.

In 3GPP 5G, the present technology may also define a relationship between a cell ID, a TRP ID, and a beam ID. In option 1, a beam ID can be structured or grouped such that the UE can derive and/or extract a cell ID and/or a TRP ID from the beam ID. In option 2, there may be no defined relationship between the cell ID, the TRP ID and the beam ID, but the UE may use the beam ID to report and read a system information block (SIB) for the cell ID.

In one example, a 3GPP 5G eNodeB (including a small cell and/or a macro cell) is referred to herein as an extended eNB. A 3GPP LTE macro cell is referred to as an eNB. 3GPP 5G TRPs (including dual and multiple beams) may be referred to herein as extended TRP.
