無線通訊裝置、無線存取網路、以及管理多分量載波 之方法Wireless communication device, wireless access network, and management of multi-component carriers Method

本發明主要關於在載波聚合(Carrier Aggregation,CA)技術,特別係有關於管理多分量載波(Component Carrier,CC)之啟動(activate)與停用(deactivate)之方法以及適用之無線通訊裝置與無線存取網路。The present invention relates to Carrier Aggregation (CA) technology, and particularly relates to a method for managing activation and deactivation of a Component Carrier (CC), and a wireless communication device and a wireless device. Access the network.

為了因應對高傳輸速率之需求,目前在無線通訊市場中所需提供之無線頻寬隨著日漸提升,為此,便發展出一種可稱作載波聚合之技術,可藉由整合跨分量載波之無線電資源有效地提供更高的頻寬給使用者,尤其在難以取得連續且廣闊的頻寬的情形下,載波聚合技術可達到最高之效益。簡單來說,載波聚合技術係指整合兩個或兩個以上的頻帶,以提供較高的傳輸/接收頻寬,一般來說,可將進行整合的每個頻帶稱為一分量載波,意即為整合後的頻寬中的其中一個分量。In order to cope with the demand for high transmission rate, the wireless bandwidth required in the wireless communication market is increasing day by day. For this reason, a technology called carrier aggregation has been developed, which can be integrated by integrating component carriers. Radio resources effectively provide higher bandwidth to the user, especially in the case where it is difficult to achieve continuous and wide bandwidth, carrier aggregation technology can achieve the highest efficiency. In simple terms, carrier aggregation technology refers to the integration of two or more frequency bands to provide a higher transmission/reception bandwidth. In general, each frequency band to be integrated can be referred to as a component carrier, that is, Is one of the components of the integrated bandwidth.

明確來說,每個分量載波都需要先經過設定與啟動才能用於資料傳輸/接收,以長期演進(Long Term Evolution,LTE)技術為例,一長期演進系統可先傳送一無線資源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信息以設定供使用者端使用之分量載波,再透過專用信令(例如:媒體存取控制(Medium Access Control,MAC)之控制元素(Control Element,CE))來啟動該分量載波。之後,如果該使用者 端所需之頻寬減少了,則長期演進系統可傳送另一媒體存取控制之控制元素給該使用者端,以停用該分量載波之一者。或者,可於系統端以及/或使用者端各自使用一停用計時器(或可稱之為解除計時器),用以計時對應之分量載波可持續在啟動狀態之一預定時間區間,待停用計時器屆期(expire)時,系統端以及/或使用者端便可停用對應之分量載波。由於使用者端不需在停用的分量載波上監聽實體下行分享通道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel,PDSCH)與實體下行控制通道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH),所以可有效節省使用者端所耗費之電力。Specifically, each component carrier needs to be set and started before it can be used for data transmission/reception. Taking Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology as an example, a long-term evolution system can transmit a radio resource control (Radio). The Resource Control (RRC) information is used to set the component carrier used by the UE, and then the component is activated by dedicated signaling (for example, Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE)). Carrier. After that if the user The bandwidth required by the terminal is reduced, and the Long Term Evolution system can transmit a control element of another media access control to the UE to deactivate one of the component carriers. Alternatively, a deactivation timer (or may be referred to as a de-timer) may be used on the system side and/or the user end to time the corresponding component carrier to be continuously in a predetermined time interval of the startup state, to be stopped. When the timer expires, the system component and/or the user end can disable the corresponding component carrier. Since the user does not need to monitor the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on the deactivated component carrier, the user can effectively save the user's cost. electric power.

明確來說,控制器模組112係控制無線模組111以執行與無線存取網路120之間之非競爭式與競爭式隨機存取程序,將已設定但未啟動之分量載波啟動。第2圖係根據本發明一實施例所述之非競爭式隨機存取程序之信息序列圖。在此實施例,無線存取網路120為一進化式通用陸地無線存取網路,而無線通訊裝置110為一使用者裝置。首先,對無線通訊裝置110而言,已存在設定好的第一分量載波(文中通稱為CC#1)與第二分量載波(文中通稱為CC#2),其中CC#1被設定為主要分量載波(圖中別稱為PCC),而CC#2被設定為次要分量載波(圖中別稱為SCC)。無線存取網路120可傳送一無線資源控制信息(例如:無線資源控制之連線重設(RRC Connection Reconfiguration)信息)至無線通訊裝置110以進行上述CC#1、CC#2之設定。需注意的是,由於CC#1為主要分 量載波,所以CC#1已在啟動狀態,而CC#2在非啟動狀態。為了啟動CC#2,無線存取網路120先傳送一前文(preamble)配置信息至無線通訊裝置110(步驟S210),明確來說,該前文配置信息包括了配置之前文、以及一分量載波指標(例如:載波指示欄位(Carrier Indicator Field,CIF)),其中該分量載波指標係用以指示欲啟動之分量載波(意即CC#2)。當接收到該前文配置信息時,控制器模組112透過無線模組111在CC#2上傳送一隨機存取先佔(Random Access Preamble,RAP)信息至無線存取網路120(步驟S220),其中該隨機存取先佔信息係使用上述被配置之前文進行傳送。接著,當接收到該隨機存取先佔信息時,無線存取網路120在CC#2上回覆一隨機存取回應(Random Access Response,RAR)信息給無線通訊裝置110(步驟S230),以通知該隨機存取先佔信息已確收。當無線通訊裝置110接收到該隨機存取回應信息時,表示非競爭式隨機存取程序已完成,且CC#2已在啟動狀態。對無線通訊裝置110而言,在接收到該隨機存取回應信息之前,即可視CC#2為已啟動。在一實施例,控制器模組112可在接收到前文配置信息時就把CC#2當作已啟動;在另一實施例,控制器模組112可在傳送完隨機存取先佔信息時就把CC#2當作已啟動;或者在又一實施例,由於在接收到隨機存取回應信息之後可能會需要一段時間來處理該隨機存取回應信息,所以控制器模組112可在接收到隨機存取回應信息之後的一預定時間區間後才視CC#2為已 啟動。在CC#2已啟動之後,無線通訊裝置110可在CC#2上分別從實體下行分享通道與實體下行控制通道接收資料與控制訊號,且可執行通道品質指標(Channel Quality Indicator,CQI)之量測。除了啟動CC#2之外,本發明之非競爭式隨機存取程序亦可供無線存取網路120在上行鍊路方向調校與無線通訊裝置110之間所進行的無線通訊的時序(timing)。也就是說,無線存取網路120可根據隨機存取先佔信息決定與無線通訊裝置110之間所進行的無線通訊的時序位移,然後使用該時序位移去調整上述無線通訊在上行鍊路方向的時序。Specifically, the controller module 112 controls the wireless module 111 to perform a non-competitive and competitive random access procedure with the wireless access network 120 to initiate a component carrier that has been set but not activated. 2 is an information sequence diagram of a non-contention random access procedure according to an embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the wireless access network 120 is an evolved universal terrestrial wireless access network, and the wireless communication device 110 is a user device. First, for the wireless communication device 110, there is already a set first component carrier (referred to as CC#1 in the text) and a second component carrier (referred to as CC#2 in the text), wherein CC#1 is set as the main component. The carrier (also referred to as PCC in the figure) and CC#2 are set as the secondary component carrier (also referred to as SCC in the figure). The wireless access network 120 can transmit a radio resource control information (eg, RRC Connection Reconfiguration information) to the wireless communication device 110 to perform the settings of CC#1 and CC#2 described above. It should be noted that CC#1 is the main point. The carrier is measured, so CC#1 is already in the startup state, and CC#2 is in the non-starting state. In order to activate CC#2, the wireless access network 120 first transmits a preamble configuration information to the wireless communication device 110 (step S210). Specifically, the foregoing configuration information includes a configuration context and a component carrier indicator. (For example, Carrier Indicator Field (CIF)), where the component carrier indicator is used to indicate the component carrier to be activated (ie CC#2). When receiving the foregoing configuration information, the controller module 112 transmits a Random Access Preamble (RAP) information to the wireless access network 120 on the CC#2 via the wireless module 111 (step S220). , wherein the random access preemptive information is transmitted using the above configured context. Then, when receiving the random access preemption information, the wireless access network 120 replies a random access response (RAR) message to the wireless communication device 110 on CC#2 (step S230), Notify that the random access preemptive information has been acknowledged. When the wireless communication device 110 receives the random access response information, it indicates that the non-contention random access procedure has been completed, and CC#2 is already in the startup state. For the wireless communication device 110, CC#2 can be activated before receiving the random access response information. In an embodiment, the controller module 112 can treat CC#2 as being activated upon receiving the previous configuration information; in another embodiment, the controller module 112 can transmit the random access preemption information. CC#2 is considered to be activated; or in still another embodiment, since it may take some time to process the random access response information after receiving the random access response information, the controller module 112 may receive CC#2 is considered to have been after a predetermined time interval after the random access response message start up. After CC#2 is started, the wireless communication device 110 can receive data and control signals from the physical downlink sharing channel and the physical downlink control channel on the CC#2, and can execute the channel quality indicator (CQI). Measurement. In addition to initiating CC#2, the non-contention random access procedure of the present invention also allows the wireless access network 120 to tune the timing of wireless communication with the wireless communication device 110 in the uplink direction (timing). ). That is, the wireless access network 120 can determine the timing shift of the wireless communication with the wireless communication device 110 according to the random access preemption information, and then use the timing shift to adjust the wireless communication in the uplink direction. Timing.

需注意的是,隨機存取回應信息亦可於已啟動且非CC#2之其它分量載波(意即除了用來傳送隨機存取先佔信息的分量載波之外的其它分量載波)上進行傳送,且隨機存取回應信息可包括針對複數無線通訊裝置之確認資訊。在另一實施例,隨機存取回應信息可傳送於CC#1或已啟動之另一分量載波上,然而,在某些情況下,可能會有多個無線通訊裝置都分別在不同的分量載波上被配置了同樣的前文,且這些無線通訊裝置都在一樣的分量載波上接收到使用該前文所傳送之隨機存取回應信息,舉例來說:第一無線通訊裝置被配置了第一前文,且使用第一前文在CC#2上傳送隨機存取先佔信息,而第二無線通訊裝置也被配置了第一前文,且使用第一前文在CC#1上傳送隨機存取先佔信息,稍後,第一與第二無線通訊裝置都在CC#1接收到使用第一前文傳送之隨機存取回應信息。因此,多 個無線通訊裝置使用同樣的前文進行隨機存取先佔信息之傳送,此情形將造成隨機存取回應信息中的確認資訊存在不明確之問題,也就是說,該等無線通訊裝置都會認為隨機存取回應信息係用以確認其先前所傳送之隨機存取先佔信息,但其實隨機存取回應信息是用以確認第一無線通訊裝置在CC#2上傳送之隨機存取先佔信息。為了解決此不明確之問題,當第一與第二無線通訊裝置被設定有相同之分量載波或已啟動之分量載波時,則無線存取網路120可避免配置相同之前文給第一與第二無線通訊裝置,使無線通訊裝置都能使用獨一無二的前文進行隨機存取先佔信息之傳送,同樣地,亦將使用獨一無二的前文進行隨機存取回應信息之傳送。另外一個解決不明確問題之方法是可由無線存取網路120使用無線通訊裝置110之使用者裝置識別碼(User Equipment Identification,UE ID)或基地台無線電網路暫時標識(Cell-Radio network Temporary Identifier,C-RNTI)對隨機存取回應信息進行擾亂(scramble)處理,明確來說,該擾亂處理係指將隨機存取回應信息之下行控制資訊格式(Downlink Control Information,DCI)之循環冗餘檢查碼(Cyclic Redundant Check,CRC)加以擾亂。由於使用者裝置識別碼或基地台無線電網路暫時標識可用以明確辨識一無線通訊裝置,所以接收到隨機存取回應信息之無線通訊裝置便可明確地辨識出該隨機存取回應信息是否用以確認其先前所傳送之隨機存取先佔信息,也就是說,無線通訊裝置只有在可使用 其使用者裝置識別碼或基地台無線電網路暫時標識成功將接收到的隨機存取回應信息進行解擾亂處理,才表示該隨機存取回應信息是用以確認其先前所傳送之隨機存取先佔信息;否則,如果使用其使用者裝置識別碼或基地台無線電網路暫時標識無法成功將接收到的隨機存取回應信息進行解擾亂處理,則表示該隨機存取回應信息不是用以確認其先前所傳送之隨機存取先佔信息,故無線通訊裝置可忽略該隨機存取回應信息。It should be noted that the random access response information may also be transmitted on other component carriers that are activated and not other than CC#2, that is, other component carriers than the component carriers used to transmit the random access preemption information. And the random access response information may include confirmation information for the plurality of wireless communication devices. In another embodiment, the random access response information may be transmitted on CC#1 or another component carrier that has been activated. However, in some cases, there may be multiple wireless communication devices respectively on different component carriers. The same preamble is configured, and the wireless communication devices receive the random access response information transmitted by the foregoing on the same component carrier. For example, the first wireless communication device is configured with the first preamble. And transmitting the random access preemption information on CC#2 using the first preamble, and the second wireless communication device is also configured with the first preamble, and transmitting the random access preemption information on CC#1 using the first preamble, Later, both the first and second wireless communication devices receive the random access response information transmitted using the first preamble at CC#1. Therefore, more The wireless communication device uses the same preamble to perform random access preemptive information transmission. This situation will cause the ambiguity of the acknowledgment information in the random access response information, that is, the wireless communication devices will consider the random storage. The response information is used to confirm the random access preemption information previously transmitted, but the random access response information is used to confirm the random access preemption information transmitted by the first wireless communication device on CC#2. In order to solve the problem of ambiguity, when the first and second wireless communication devices are configured with the same component carrier or the activated component carrier, the wireless access network 120 can avoid the same configuration before the first and the first The second wireless communication device enables the wireless communication device to perform the transmission of the random access preemptive information using the unique preamble. Similarly, the transmission of the random access response information will be performed using the unique preamble. Another method for solving the ambiguity problem is that the user equipment identification (UE ID) of the wireless communication device 110 or the base station radio network temporary identifier (Cell-Radio network Temporary Identifier) can be used by the wireless access network 120. , C-RNTI) scrambling the random access response information. Specifically, the scrambling process refers to cyclic redundancy check of the Downlink Control Information (DCI) under the random access response information. The code (Cyclic Redundant Check, CRC) is disturbed. Since the user device identification code or the base station radio network temporary identifier can be used to clearly identify a wireless communication device, the wireless communication device receiving the random access response information can clearly identify whether the random access response information is used. Confirm the random access preemption information previously transmitted, that is, the wireless communication device is only available The user device identification code or the base station radio network temporary identifier successfully de-scrambles the received random access response information, indicating that the random access response information is used to confirm the previously transmitted random access first. Accounting for information; otherwise, if the user device identifier or the base station radio network temporary identifier cannot successfully descramble the received random access response information, it indicates that the random access response information is not used to confirm The random access preemption information previously transmitted, so the wireless communication device can ignore the random access response information.

Similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the wireless access network 120 is an evolved universal terrestrial wireless access network, and the wireless communication device 110 is a user device. First, for the wireless communication device 110, there are already established CC#1 and CC#2, wherein CC#1 is set as the primary component carrier (also referred to as PCC in the figure), and CC#2 is set as the secondary. Component carrier (also referred to as SCC in the figure). It should be noted that since CC#1 is the primary component carrier, CC#1 is already in the startup state, and CC#2 is in the non-boot state. In order to activate CC#2, the wireless communication device 110 transmits a random access preemption information to the wireless access network 120 on CC#2 (step S310), wherein the random access preemptive information is used by the wireless access network. The road 120 broadcasts one of the previous preamble pools for transmission. In particular, after transmitting the random access preemption information, the wireless communication device 110 can be activated by CC#2, and activates a disable timer to count one of the startup time intervals of CC#2 (step S320). When receiving the random access preemption information, the wireless access network 120 replies with a message on CC#2. The machine accesses the response information to the wireless communication device 110 (step S330). However, since the wireless communication device located in the range of the signal of the wireless access network 120 can obtain the foregoing corpus, a plurality of wireless communication devices may use the same preamble to perform random access preemptive information transmission. Accordingly, the wireless communication device 110 further performs a schedule transmission indicating that its user device identification code or base station radio network temporary identification is transmitted to the wireless access network 120 (step S340).

The identification code or the control element of the media access control of the base station radio network temporary identification. In another embodiment, the contention resolution information can be transmitted on another component carrier that has been activated. After transmitting the contention resolution information, the wireless access network 120 activates CC#2 and starts a disable timer to count one of the startup time intervals of CC#2 (step S360). Next, upon receiving the contention resolution information, the wireless communication device 110 restarts its deactivation timer based on the contention resolution information (step S370). Specifically, the restarting step of the deactivation timer is performed because the control element of the media access control includes the user device identification code of the wireless communication device 110 or the temporary identification of the base station radio network, that is, If the control element of the media access control includes the user device identifier of the wireless communication device 110 or the base station radio network temporary identifier, it indicates that the contention resolution information in step S350 is transmitted for the wireless communication device 110, so The competitive random access procedure of the present invention has been completed. At the same time, the wireless access network 120 also initiates CC#2 after transmitting the contention resolution information. A timer is disabled to enable the startup time interval of CC #2 to maintain synchronization between the wireless communication device 110 and the wireless access network 120. In another embodiment, the wireless communication device 110 and the wireless access network 120 can wait for a predetermined length of time before starting or restarting the disable timer, so that the wireless communication device 110 can have sufficient time to process the received competition. Solve the information. Alternatively, the wireless communication device 110 may not activate the deactivation timer after transmitting the random access preemption information, and wait until the control element of the media access control is received and the control element of the media access control includes its user. When the device identification code or the base station radio network is temporarily identified, the above-mentioned deactivation timer is restarted.

Upon receiving the random access preemption information, the wireless access network 120 replies a random access response message to the wireless communication device 110 on CC#2 (step S430). However, since the wireless communication device located in the range of the signal of the wireless access network 120 can obtain the foregoing corpus, a plurality of wireless communication devices may use the same preamble to perform random access preemptive information transmission. Accordingly, the wireless communication device 110 further performs a schedule transmission indicating that its user device identification code or base station radio network temporary identification is transmitted to the wireless access network 120 (step S440).

Similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the wireless access network 120 is an evolved universal terrestrial wireless access network, and the wireless communication The device 110 is a user device. First, for the wireless communication device 110, there are already established CC#1 and CC#2, wherein CC#1 is set as the primary component carrier (also referred to as PCC in the figure), and CC#2 is set as the secondary. Component carrier (also referred to as SCC in the figure). It should be noted that since CC#1 is the primary component carrier, CC#1 is already in the startup state, and CC#2 is in the non-boot state. In order to activate CC#2, the wireless communication device 110 transmits a random access preemption information to the wireless access network 120 on CC#2 (step S510), wherein the random access preemptive information is used by the wireless access network. The road 120 broadcasts one of the previous episodes in the previous episode. In particular, after transmitting the random access preemption information, the wireless communication device 110 can be activated by CC#2, and activates a disable timer to count one of the startup time intervals of CC#2 (step S520). Upon receiving the random access preemption information, the wireless access network 120 replies a random access response message to the wireless communication device 110 on CC#2 (step S530). However, since the wireless communication device located in the range of the signal of the wireless access network 120 can obtain the foregoing corpus, a plurality of wireless communication devices may use the same preamble to perform random access preemptive information transmission.

After transmitting the contention resolution information, the wireless access network 120 activates CC#2 and starts a disable timer to count one of the startup time intervals of CC#2 (step S560). Then, when receiving the contention resolution information, the wireless communication device 110 restarts its deactivation timer according to the contention resolution information to synchronize with the deactivation timer of the radio access network 120 (step S570). Specifically, the restarting step of the deactivation timer is performed by the user device identification code of the wireless communication device 110 or the temporary identification of the base station radio network to successfully perform the descrambling processing of the uplink promise information, or The uplink grant information should be performed including a component carrier indicator indicating CC#2, that is, if the wireless communication device 110 uses its user device identifier or base. The ground radio network temporarily identifies that the uplink grant information is successfully descrambled, or the wireless communication device 110 successfully decodes the uplink grant information received on another component carrier that has been activated and the uplink grant information includes If there is a component carrier index indicating CC#2, it means that the contention resolution information in step S550 is transmitted for the wireless communication device 110, so the competitive random access procedure of the present invention has been completed. In another embodiment, the wireless communication device 110 and the wireless access network 120 can wait for a predetermined length of time before starting or restarting the disable timer, so that the wireless communication device 110 can have sufficient time to process the received competition. Solve the information. Alternatively, the wireless communication device 110 may not activate the deactivation timer after transmitting the random access preemption information, and wait until the received uplink grant information includes its user device identification code or the base station radio network temporary identifier. When the indicator component of one of CC#2 is included, the above-mentioned deactivation timer is restarted.

第6圖係根據本發明再一實施例所述之競爭式隨機存取程序之信息序列圖。類似第3圖所示之實施例,無線存取網路120為一進化式通用陸地無線存取網路,而無線通訊裝置110為一使用者裝置。首先,對無線通訊裝置110而言,已存在設定好的CC#1與CC#2,其中CC#1被設定為主要分量載波(圖中別稱為PCC),而CC#2被設定為次要分量載波(圖中別稱為SCC)。需注意的是,由於CC#1為主要分量載波,所以CC#1已在啟動狀態,而CC#2在非啟動狀態。為了啟動CC#2,無線通訊裝置110在CC#2上傳送一隨機存取先佔信息至無線存取網路120(步驟 S610),其中該隨機存取先佔信息係使用由無線存取網路120所廣播之前文集中之一前文進行傳送。特別是,在傳送該隨機存取先佔信息之後,無線通訊裝置110可視CC#2為已啟動,並啟動一停用計時器以計時CC#2之一啟動時間區間(步驟S620)。當接收到隨機存取先佔信息時,無線存取網路120在CC#2上回覆一隨機存取回應信息給無線通訊裝置110(步驟S630)。然而,因為位於無線存取網路120的訊號涵蓋範圍內之無線通訊裝置皆可取得上述前文集,所以可能會有多個無線通訊裝置使用相同前文進行隨機存取先佔信息之傳送。因此,無線通訊裝置110進一步執行指示其使用者裝置識別碼或基地台無線電網路暫時標識之一排程傳輸至無線存取網路120(步驟S640)。當接收到該排程傳輸時,無線存取網路120在CC#2上回覆一競爭解決信息給無線通訊裝置110(步驟S650),其中該競爭解決信息為包括無線通訊裝置110之使用者裝置識別碼或基地台無線電網路暫時標識之一媒體存取控制之控制元素。在另一實施例,該競爭解決信息可傳送於已啟動之另一分量載波上。在接收到該競爭解決信息時,無線通訊裝置110發現該競爭解決信息為包括了其使用者裝置識別碼或基地台無線電網路暫時標識之一媒體存取控制之控制元素,表示步驟S650中的競爭解決信息是針對無線通訊裝置110而傳送的,所以無線通訊裝置110接著在CC#2上傳送一確認(acknowledgement)信息至無線存取網路120,以表示成功接收到該競爭解決信息(步驟S660), 或者,該確認信息可傳送於已啟動之另一分量載波上。在傳送確認信息之後,無線通訊裝置110再重新啟動其停用計時器(步驟S670)。同時,為因應接收到該確認信息,無線存取網路120啟動CC#2並啟動一停用計時器以計時CC#2之一啟動時間區間(步驟S680)。由於無線通訊裝置110與無線存取網路120都因為該確認信息之傳送或接收而重啟動或啟動其停用計時器,所以能夠使CC#2之啟動時間區間之計時保持同步。在另一實施例,無線通訊裝置110與無線存取網路120可等待一預定時間長度後再啟動或重啟上述停用計時器,讓無線通訊裝置110能有足夠的時間處理所接收到的競爭解決信息。Figure 6 is a sequence diagram of information of a contention random access procedure according to still another embodiment of the present invention. Similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the wireless access network 120 is an evolved universal terrestrial wireless access network, and the wireless communication device 110 is a user device. First, for the wireless communication device 110, there are already established CC#1 and CC#2, wherein CC#1 is set as the primary component carrier (also referred to as PCC in the figure), and CC#2 is set as the secondary. Component carrier (also referred to as SCC in the figure). It should be noted that since CC#1 is the primary component carrier, CC#1 is already in the startup state, and CC#2 is in the non-boot state. In order to activate CC#2, the wireless communication device 110 transmits a random access preemption information to the wireless access network 120 on CC#2 (steps) S610), wherein the random access preemptive information is transmitted using a preamble in a previous corpus broadcast by the wireless access network 120. In particular, after transmitting the random access preemption information, the wireless communication device 110 can be activated by CC#2, and activates a disable timer to count one of the startup time intervals of CC#2 (step S620). Upon receiving the random access preemption information, the wireless access network 120 replies a random access response message to the wireless communication device 110 on CC#2 (step S630). However, since the wireless communication device located in the range of the signal of the wireless access network 120 can obtain the foregoing corpus, a plurality of wireless communication devices may use the same preamble to perform random access preemptive information transmission. Accordingly, the wireless communication device 110 further performs a scheduled transmission of one of its user device identification code or base station radio network temporary identification to the wireless access network 120 (step S640). Upon receiving the scheduled transmission, the wireless access network 120 replies a contention resolution information to the wireless communication device 110 on CC#2 (step S650), wherein the contention resolution information is a user device including the wireless communication device 110. The identification code or the control element of the media access control of the base station radio network temporary identification. In another embodiment, the contention resolution information can be transmitted on another component carrier that has been activated. Upon receiving the contention resolution information, the wireless communication device 110 finds that the contention resolution information is a control element including one of the user device identification code or the base station radio network temporary identifier, and indicates the step S650. The contention resolution information is transmitted for the wireless communication device 110, so the wireless communication device 110 then transmits an acknowledgement message to the wireless access network 120 on CC#2 to indicate that the contention resolution information is successfully received (step S660), Alternatively, the acknowledgment information can be transmitted on another component carrier that has been activated. After transmitting the confirmation message, the wireless communication device 110 restarts its deactivation timer (step S670). Meanwhile, in response to receiving the confirmation information, the wireless access network 120 activates CC #2 and starts a deactivation timer to count one of the startup time intervals of CC #2 (step S680). Since both the wireless communication device 110 and the wireless access network 120 restart or activate their deactivation timers due to the transmission or reception of the acknowledgment information, the timing of the startup time interval of the CC #2 can be synchronized. In another embodiment, the wireless communication device 110 and the wireless access network 120 can wait for a predetermined length of time before starting or restarting the disable timer, so that the wireless communication device 110 can have sufficient time to process the received competition. Solve the information.

除了如第2~6圖所述之啟動次要分量載波之方法,本發明亦提供了停用次要分量載波之方法。第7圖係根據本發明一實施例所述之停用次要分量載波之信息序列圖。需注意的是,由於CC#1為主要分量載波,所以CC#1已在啟動狀態,而CC#2則透過如第2圖所述之非競爭式隨機存取程序、或透過如第3~6圖所述之競爭式隨機存取程序而被啟動。首先,為因應在如第2圖所述之非競爭式隨機存取程序、或如第3~6圖所述之競爭式隨機存取程序中接收到來自無線存取網路120之一隨機存取回應信息,而在無線通訊裝置110中針對CC#2啟動一時序對齊計時器(Time Alignment Timer,TAT);相應地,為因應該隨機存取回應信息之傳送,亦在無線存取網路120中針對CC#2啟動一時序對齊計時器。該時序對齊計時器係用以給定一預定 時間區間,在該預定時間區間內可視無線通訊裝置110在CC#2上與無線存取網路120是上行鍊路對齊的(uplink-timing aligned)。在該時序對齊計時器屆期前,無線通訊裝置110可監聽下行控制通道(例如:長期演進系統中的實體下行控制通道、或其它無線存取技術中的控制通道)以及下行分享通道(例如:長期演進系統中的實體分享控制通道、或其它無線存取技術中的分享通道),以於對應之分量載波上分別接收下行控制信息或上行允諾信息、以及下行資料,然後在對應之分量載波上傳送確認信息至無線存取網路120,以告知已分別透過下行控制通道與下行分享通道接收到下行控制信息或上行允諾信息、以及下行資料。在另一實施例,該時序對齊計時器可為因應接收到來自無線存取網路120之一時序提前指令(Timing Advance Command,TAC)信息而啟動。稍後,當該時序對齊計時器屆期時,無線通訊裝置110將對應至CC#2之停用計時器停止(步驟S710),接著,無線通訊裝置110停止在CC#2上監聽下行控制通道與下行分享通道(步驟S720)。最後,無線通訊裝置110再停用CC#2(步驟S730)。同樣地,在無線存取網路120端,當其時序對齊計時器屆期時,會停用CC#2並將對應至CC#2之停用計時器停止(步驟S740),如此一來,便成功完成CC#2的停用程序。In addition to the method of activating a secondary component carrier as described in Figures 2-6, the present invention also provides a method of deactivating a secondary component carrier. Figure 7 is a sequence of information for disabling a secondary component carrier in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that CC#1 is the primary component carrier, so CC#1 is already in the startup state, and CC#2 is through the non-competitive random access procedure as shown in Figure 2, or through the third. The competitive random access procedure described in Figure 6 is initiated. First, the random access from one of the wireless access networks 120 is received in response to the non-competitive random access procedure as described in FIG. 2 or the contention random access procedure as described in FIGS. 3-6. Taking the response information, and in the wireless communication device 110, start a Time Alignment Timer (TAT) for CC#2; correspondingly, in response to the transmission of the random access response information, also in the wireless access network In 120, a timing alignment timer is started for CC#2. The timing alignment timer is used to give a predetermined reservation A time interval within which the visible wireless communication device 110 is uplink-timing aligned with the wireless access network 120 on CC#2. Before the timing alignment timer expires, the wireless communication device 110 can monitor the downlink control channel (eg, a physical downlink control channel in a long term evolution system, or a control channel in other wireless access technologies) and a downlink shared channel (eg, The entity in the LTE system shares the control channel or the shared channel in other RATs to receive downlink control information, uplink grant information, and downlink data on the corresponding component carrier, and then on the corresponding component carrier. The confirmation information is transmitted to the wireless access network 120 to notify that the downlink control information or the uplink promise information and the downlink data have been received through the downlink control channel and the downlink shared channel, respectively. In another embodiment, the timing alignment timer can be initiated in response to receiving Timing Advance Command (TAC) information from the wireless access network 120. Later, when the timing alignment timer expires, the wireless communication device 110 stops the deactivation timer corresponding to CC#2 (step S710), and then, the wireless communication device 110 stops monitoring the downlink control channel on CC#2. The channel is shared with the downlink (step S720). Finally, the wireless communication device 110 disables CC#2 again (step S730). Similarly, at the wireless access network 120 end, when its timing alignment timer expires, CC#2 is deactivated and the deactivation timer corresponding to CC#2 is stopped (step S740), thus, Successfully completed the CC#2 deactivation process.

Non-competitive The method of managing a multi-component carrier is to activate a component carrier that has been set but not activated, and the applicable wireless communication device is wirelessly connected to a wireless access network to obtain wireless service, in particular, for the wireless communication device. A primary component carrier has been set to the startup state. In the method for non-competitively managing a multi-component carrier, first, the wireless communication device receives, from the wireless access network, one of the preamble configuration information including a component carrier indicator (step S810), wherein the component carrier indicator indicates a specific component carrier . In an embodiment, the component carrier indicator may be a carrier indication field. It should be noted that the foregoing configuration information can be transmitted through any activated component carrier. For example, in an embodiment, if only CC#1 is in an activated state, the foregoing configuration information can be transmitted through CC#1. To transfer. Then, the wireless communication device transmits a random access preemption information to the wireless access network on the component carrier corresponding to the component carrier indicator (step S820), and then receives the corresponding access to the random access from the wireless access network. Preempting one of the random access response information (step S830), wherein the random access response information can be transmitted on a component carrier corresponding to the component carrier indicator, or any activated component carrier. Thereafter, the wireless communication device determines whether to activate the component carrier corresponding to the component carrier indicator based on one of the foregoing configuration information, the random access preemption information, and the random access response information (step S840). Further, in step S840, in an embodiment, when the wireless communication device receives the previous configuration information, the component carrier is activated; or in another embodiment, the wireless communication device can transmit the random access preemption. When the information is received, the component carrier is activated; or in another embodiment, the wireless communication device can view the component when receiving the random access response information. The wave is activated. Since the component carrier is in an activated state, the wireless communication device can respectively pass through a downlink sharing channel (for example, an entity sharing control channel in a long term evolution system or a sharing channel in other wireless access technologies) and a downlink control channel (for example: long term) The physical downlink control channel in the evolved system, or the control channel in other wireless access technologies, receives the downlink data and the downlink control signal, and performs measurement of the channel quality indicator. In addition, when the component carrier is in an activated state, the wireless communication device can activate a deactivation timer to time a predetermined time interval, which is used to indicate that the component carrier can remain in the startup state for a certain length of time. That is to say, when the deactivation timer expires, the component carrier needs to be deactivated. In addition, it should be noted that if the random access response information is received from the component carrier corresponding to the component carrier indicator, an ambiguity problem as mentioned in the embodiment of FIG. 2 will occur, and therefore, When receiving the random access response information, the wireless communication device can determine whether the random access response information is scrambled via its user device identification code or the base station radio network temporary identifier, and if so, the wireless communication device can initiate the corresponding Component carrier to the component carrier indicator.

第9圖係根據本發明一實施例所述適用於無線存取網路之非競爭式管理多分量載波之方法流程圖。該非競爭式管理多分量載波之方法係用以啟動已設定但未啟動之分量載波,且適用之無線存取網路係提供無線連接給一無線通訊裝置,特別是,類似於第8圖之實施例,對該無線通訊裝置而言,已設定了一主要分量載波為啟動狀態。在該非競爭式管理多分量載波之方法中,首先,無線存取網路傳 送包括一分量載波指標之一前文配置信息至無線通訊裝置(步驟S910),其中該分量載波指標指示了一特定分量載波。在一實施例,該分量載波指標可為一載波指示欄位。需注意的是,該前文配置信息可透過任一已啟動之分量載波來傳送,舉例來說,在一實施例,如果只有CC#1為已啟動狀態,則該前文配置信息可透過CC#1來傳送。接著,無線存取網路在對應至該分量載波指標之一分量載波上接收到來自無線通訊裝置之一隨機存取先佔信息(步驟S920),然後傳送對應至該隨機存取先佔信息之一隨機存取回應信息至無線通訊裝置(步驟S930),其中該隨機存取回應信息可在對應至該分量載波指標之分量載波、或任一已啟動之分量載波上傳送。之後,無線存取網路根據上述前文配置信息、隨機存取先佔信息、以及隨機存取回應信息之一者決定是否啟動對應至該分量載波指標之分量載波(步驟S940)。進一步說明步驟S940,在一實施例,無線存取網路可於傳送完前文配置信息時,即視該分量載波為已啟動;或者在另一實施例,無線存取網路可於接收到隨機存取先佔信息時,視該分量載波為已啟動;又或者在另一實施例,無線存取網路可於傳送完隨機存取回應信息時,再視該分量載波為已啟動。由於該分量載波為已啟動狀態,無線存取網路可分別透過下行分享通道(例如:長期演進系統中的實體分享控制通道、或其它無線存取技術中的分享通道)與下行控制通道(例如:長期演進系統中的實體下行控制通道、或其它無線存取技術中的控制通道) 傳送下行資料以及下行控制信號,並要求無線通訊裝置執行通道品質指標之量測。另外,當該分量載波為已啟動狀態,無線存取網路可啟動一停用計時器以計時一預定時間區間,該預定時間區間係用以指示該分量載波可保持在啟動狀態之一時間長度,也就是說,當該停用計時器屆期時,則需停用該分量載波。此外,仍需注意的是,如果隨機存取回應信息是傳送於對應至該分量載波指標之分量載波上,將會產生如第2圖之實施例所提及的不明確問題,因此,無線存取網路可使用無線通訊裝置之使用者裝置識別碼或基地台無線電網路暫時標識將該隨機存取回應信息進行擾亂處理,以使無線通訊裝置透過使用其使用者裝置識別碼或基地台無線電網路暫時標識將該隨機存取回應信息進行解擾亂處理來判斷該隨機存取回應信息是否對應至先前所傳送之隨機存取先佔信息,且無線通訊裝置僅能於解擾亂處理成功完成時才啟動對應至該分量載波指標之分量載波。另外一種解決不明確問題的方法是,當一無線通訊裝置與另一無線通訊裝置被設定有至少一相同之分量載波(不論其為已啟動或未啟動)時,無線存取網路不要配置相同的前文給這該等無線通訊裝置,如此一來,才能確保每個無線通訊裝置用來傳送隨機存取先佔信息與接收隨機存取回應信息所使用的前文是獨一無二的。FIG. 9 is a flow chart of a method for non-competitively managing a multi-component carrier for a wireless access network according to an embodiment of the invention. The non-competitive method of managing a multi-component carrier is to activate a component carrier that is set but not activated, and the applicable wireless access network provides a wireless connection to a wireless communication device, in particular, similar to the implementation of FIG. For example, for the wireless communication device, a primary component carrier has been set to an active state. In the method of non-competitive management of multi-component carriers, first, wireless access network transmission Sending a configuration information including one of the component carrier indicators to the wireless communication device (step S910), wherein the component carrier indicator indicates a specific component carrier. In an embodiment, the component carrier indicator may be a carrier indication field. It should be noted that the foregoing configuration information can be transmitted through any activated component carrier. For example, in an embodiment, if only CC#1 is in an activated state, the foregoing configuration information can be transmitted through CC#1. To transfer. Then, the wireless access network receives random access preemption information from one of the wireless communication devices on a component carrier corresponding to the component carrier indicator (step S920), and then transmits the corresponding to the random access preemption information. A random access response message is sent to the wireless communication device (step S930), wherein the random access response information can be transmitted on a component carrier corresponding to the component carrier indicator, or any activated component carrier. Thereafter, the radio access network determines whether to activate the component carrier corresponding to the component carrier indicator based on one of the foregoing configuration information, the random access preemption information, and the random access response information (step S940). Further, in step S940, in an embodiment, the radio access network may view that the component carrier is activated when the preamble configuration information is transmitted; or in another embodiment, the radio access network may receive the random access. When the preemptive information is accessed, the component carrier is activated; or in another embodiment, the wireless access network may view the component carrier as activated when the random access response information is transmitted. Since the component carrier is in an activated state, the wireless access network can respectively pass through a downlink sharing channel (for example, an entity sharing control channel in a long term evolution system or a sharing channel in other wireless access technologies) and a downlink control channel (for example, : physical downlink control channel in the long-term evolution system, or control channel in other wireless access technologies) The downlink data and the downlink control signal are transmitted, and the wireless communication device is required to perform the measurement of the channel quality indicator. In addition, when the component carrier is in an activated state, the wireless access network may activate a deactivation timer to time a predetermined time interval, which is used to indicate that the component carrier can remain in the startup state for a length of time. That is, when the deactivation timer expires, the component carrier needs to be deactivated. In addition, it should be noted that if the random access response information is transmitted on the component carrier corresponding to the component carrier index, an ambiguity problem as mentioned in the embodiment of FIG. 2 is generated, and therefore, the wireless memory is stored. The network may use the user device identification code of the wireless communication device or the base station radio network temporary identifier to scramble the random access response information so that the wireless communication device transmits the user device identification code or the base station radio The network temporarily identifies the random access response information to be descrambled to determine whether the random access response information corresponds to the previously transmitted random access preemption information, and the wireless communication device can only successfully complete the descrambling process. The component carrier corresponding to the component carrier indicator is activated.
