Description

User equipment (UE) support mode and identifier support technology

The present invention relates to user equipment (UE) support mode and identifier support technology.

Wireless mobile communication technology uses various standards and protocols to transmit data between a node (such as a transmission station) and a wireless device (such as a mobile device). Some wireless devices use Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDMA) in a downlink (DL) transmission and Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiplexing (SC-FDMA) in an uplink (UL) ) To communicate. Standards and protocols that use Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) for signal transmission include the third-generation partnership project (3GPP) long-term evolution technology (LTE), and the industry group commonly known as WiMAX (Global Interoperability Microwave Access) motors The Institute of Electronic Engineers (IEEE) 802.16 standard (for example, 802.16e, 802.16m), and the IEEE 802.11 standard commonly known as WiFi by the industry group.

In the 3GPP radio access network (RAN) LTE system, the node can be an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) node B (also often referred to as evolved node B, enhanced node B, eNodeB or eNB) and a combination of a radio network controller (RNC) that communicates with a wireless device called a user equipment (UE). Down The downlink (DL) transmission may be a communication from the node (e.g., eNodeB) to the wireless device (e.g., UE), and the uplink (UL) transmission may be a communication from the wireless device to the node.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a user equipment (UE) device that is operable to communicate with one or more transmission and reception points is specifically proposed. The device includes a memory; and one or more processors, which are Set up: select one or more UE modes, including a new radio (NR) support receiving (Rx) mode, a NR dual connection support Rx mode, and a NR three connection support Rx mode, and a dual beam support Rx mode and a multi-beam supporting Rx mode; store the selected modes in the memory; generate a UE capability list for the one or more selected UE modes; and encode the UE capability list of the selected UE mode to For transmission to an extended eNodeB, so that the UE can use the one or more selected modes to communicate with the extended eNodeB or one or more extended transmission reception points (TRP).

The person will recognize that. It should also be understood that the terms used in this article are only used to illustrate specific examples and are not intended to be limiting.

Exemplary embodiment

The following provides an initial overview of one of the technical embodiments, and then further describes specific technical embodiments in detail later. This initial summary is intended to help readers understand the technology more quickly, but it is not intended to identify the key features or important features of this technology, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the subject matter.

With wireless data traffic due to the deployment of 3GPP fourth generation (4G) Communication systems have increased, and improved fifth-generation (5G) communication systems have been developed. Therefore, consider implementing the 3GPP 5G communication system in a higher frequency band (mmWave), such as the 60GHz band, in order to achieve a higher data rate. In order to reduce the propagation loss of radio waves and increase the transmission distance, beamforming, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), full-dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO), array antennas, analog beamforming, and Large-scale antenna skills.

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 backhaul, and mobile network. Road, cooperative communication, coordinated multipoint (CoMP), receiver interference cancellation, and the like are in progress. In the 3GPP 5G system, it has also been developed as an advanced code modulation (ACM) hybrid FSK and QAM modulation (FQAM) and sliding window superimposition code (SWSC), and filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC), Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and sparse code multiple access (SCMA) as an advanced access technology.

In addition, the use of Internet applications related to wireless communication may include the Internet of Things (IoT), which can now include machine type communication (MTC), key MTC, and the like. This IoT environment can provide intelligent Internet technology services, which create a new value by collecting and analyzing the data generated among connected things. Through the convergence and combination of existing information technology (IT) and various industrial applications, IoT can be applied in various fields, including smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, smart grids, health care, and smart Home appliances and advanced medical services.

In one aspect, the 3GPP 5G communication system can be used in IoT networks. For example, technologies such as a sensor network, machine type communication (MTC), and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication can be implemented by beamforming, MIMO, and array antennas. A cloud radio access network (RAN) as an application of the aforementioned 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, the transmission and reception (transmission and reception) point (TRP) can form a beam cell, which can also be called 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 become one of the key features of 5G wireless communication systems, because the use of beam cells can improve spectrum efficiency through high-order multi-user MIMO. In addition, the beam cell can extend the cellular communication to a frequency band higher than 6GHz. For the overall beam cell design of the 5G wireless communication system, it is expected that the downlink physical control channel can efficiently support beamforming-centric system operations and flexible multipoint transmission, so as to be seamless under the conditions of mobility and channel congestion User experience.

In one aspect, 3GPP 5G provides requirements and specifications for a New Radio (NR) system to support mobile broadband, large-scale MTC, and key MTC. In the NR system, it can be assumed that a wireless communication network and UE perform beamforming to achieve high antenna gain to compensate for high frequency band propagation loss. Mobility has become one of the biggest challenges. As described in this article, this technology provides a user equipment (UE) that can interact with a 3GPP 5G ("extended") eNodeB and/or 3GPP 5G ("extended") Transmission Reception Point (TRP) communication solution.

The UE can choose one or more UE modes, including a new radio (NR) support receiving (Rx) mode, an NR dual connection supporting Rx mode, and an NR triple connection supporting Rx mode, and a dual beam supporting Rx mode , And a dual-beam supporting Rx mode and/or multi-beam supporting Rx mode. For transmission to an extended eNodeB, the UE can encode the selected UE mode so that the UE can connect to the extended eNodeB or connect to one or more extended transmission reception points (TRP) of the extended eNodeB via an extended interface One or more people communicate. The extended interface is a 3GPP LTE air interface that has been extended to provide 3GPP 5G communication capabilities.

FIG. 1 shows a mobile communication network in a cell 100, which has an evolved NodeB (eNB or eNodeB) attached to a mobile device. FIG. 1 shows an eNB 104 that can be associated with an anchor cell, a macro cell, or a master cell. The cell 100 may also include a mobile device, such as a user equipment (UE or multiple UEs) 108 that can communicate with the 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 an example, the eNB 104 may be a high transmission power eNB, such as a macro eNB, in terms of coverage and connectivity. The eNB 104 may be responsible for mobility and may also be responsible for radio resource control (RRC) signaling. The UE or UEs 108 may be supported by the macro eNB 104. The eNB 104 can provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In 3GPP, the term "cell" can mean a specific eNB geographic coverage area, and/or an associated carrier frequency and A bandwidth serves one of the eNB subsystems of the coverage area, depending on the context in which the word is used.

FIG. 2 shows a simplified diagram of a radio frame resource (such as a resource grid) used for downlink (DL) transmission including a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) according to an example. In this example, a radio frame 200 of a signal for transmitting data can be configured to have a duration Tf of 10 milliseconds (ms). Each radio frame can be segmented or divided into ten sub-frames 210i each 1 millisecond (ms) long. Each sub-frame can be further subdivided into two time slots 220a and 220b, each having a duration Tslot of 0.5 ms. 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 multiple resource blocks (RB) 230a, 230b, 230i, 230m, and 230n based on the CC bandwidth. The CC may include a bandwidth and a center frequency within the bandwidth. In one example, a subframe of the CC may include Downlink Control Information (DCI) found in the PDCCH. When an old PDCCH is used, the PDCCH in the control region may include three rows of the first OFDM symbol in a subframe or a physical RB (PRB). The remaining 11 to 13 OFDM symbols in the subframe (or 14 OFDM symbols when the old PDCCH is not used) can be allocated to the PDSCH in terms of data (just short or normal cyclic prefix). For example, when the term "time slot" is used in this article, it can be used for "subframe" or "transmission time interval (TTI)" in When used in this article, it can be used for "frame" or "frame duration". In addition, a frame can be regarded as a transmission volume of a specific user (such as a TTI associated with a user and a data stream).

Each RB (physical RB or PRB) 230i can include 12 sub-carriers 236 with a sub-carrier spacing of 15 kHz, totaling 180 kHz (on the frequency axis), and each time slot can include 6 or 7 orthogonal frequency divisions. Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols 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. The resource block can be mapped to 84 resource elements (RE) 240i using a short or normal cyclic prefix, or the resource block can be mapped to 72 REs using an extended cyclic prefix (not shown). The RE can be a unit of one OFDM symbol 242 of one subcarrier (ie, 15 kHz) 246.

In terms of quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation, each RE can transmit two bits of information 250a and 250b. Other modulation types can be used, such as using 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) to transmit 4 bits per RE, or 64 QAM to transmit six bits in each RE, or using dual phase shift keying (BPSK ) Modulation to transmit a smaller number of bits (single bit) in each RE. The RB may be configured for downlink transmission from the eNodeB to the UE, or the RB may be configured for uplink transmission from the UE to the eNodeB.

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

3GGP 5G beam concept

In one aspect, the technology provides a 3GPP 5G solution that is different from 3GPP LTE by adding beamforming capabilities in the UE and at one or more transmission reception points (TRP), as shown in FIG. 3. Figure 3 shows a deployment diagram of the third-generation partnership project (3GPP) next-generation wireless communication system, called the fifth-generation "5G", with macro cells and small cells in a common channel, and small inter-frequency Cell and beam formation. An eNB 312 may have multiple TRPs 314a to 314c (belonging to a centralized type or a distributed type). Each TRP 314a to 314c can form multiple beams. The number of beams and simultaneous beams depend on the number of antenna arrays at the TRP and the RF. Similarly, a UE 310 can also perform beamforming toward TRPs 314a to 314c. The UE 310 may have a single beam and/or multiple beams, which also depends on the capabilities of the UE.

Beam scanning

Since the coverage of a narrow beam is small, in order to cover 360 degrees, a UE and/or TRP can be subject to beamforming constraints in various directions in a TDM manner until all 360 degrees are covered. For example, suppose each beam width is 15 degrees. If there is only one beam that can be formed by TRP at the same time, it will take 24 beam scans to cover 360 degrees. Therefore, an embodiment of the present technology provides different beam support in higher layer NR. In one aspect, NR and 3GPP 5G can be used interchangeably or referred to. It can also be assumed that an eNB can be equipped with multiple RF chains and can simultaneously form multiple beams toward multiple UEs.

Please refer to Figure 4, which shows the third-generation partnership project (3GPP) A deployment diagram of the next-generation wireless communication system, called the fifth-generation "5G" 400, has the phenomenon of overlapping macro cells and small cells. In one aspect, one or more 3GPP 5G deployments may be used. For example, it may include option 1) a standalone 3GPP 5G wireless communication system deployment, and option 2) a 3GPP 5G wireless communication stacked with a macro System, and option 3) 3GPP 5G wireless communication system deployment with macro and small cell stacking. Figure 4 includes an eNodeB 412 that communicates with one or more TRPs 414a to 414d. Figure 4 shows option 3, which includes macros and small cells in the common channel (422), and inter-frequency small cells (420), and 3GPP 5G beamforming TRPs 414a to 414d (which can be collectively referred to as and/or Individually referred to as "414"). One of the UE 410 in the 3GPP 5G wireless communication system may have to discover different deployments and perform handovers when moving or transiting.

UE support mode in 3GPP 5G

In 3GPP LTE, a UE can be an old UE or can be dual-connected to a macro cell and a small cell. In 3GPP 5G, the granularity of communication with a 5G-enabled RAT can extend from communication with different nodes (such as those found in 3GPP LTE) to communication using multiple beams transmitted from one or more nodes. This granularity is called a beam-level communication for a 3GPP 5G RAT.

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

In a second mode, the UE can be a dual-connected 3GPP 5G UE that can connect to one of two nodes at the same time, 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 a MeNB, and the small cell may include a SeNB.

In another mode, the 3GPP 5G UE can be connected to one of the three cells at the same time. In this embodiment, a 3GPP 5G UE can be connected to a 3GPP LTE macro cell with a MeNB, and a 3GPP 5G or 3GPP LTE cell as an SeNB.

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

Referring now to FIG. 5, according to the 13th release of 3GPP TS36.331, it is an example of the UE capability to support the single and dual connection change of each UE mode. FIG. 5 illustrates the present technology with new additional content (for example, new additional content underlined for ease of description). The UE capabilities can include UE support for new radio, new radio dual connection support, and new radio dual and/ Or multi-beam support. Furthermore, FIG. 6 shows 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 once the connection is set up, as in a typical 3GPP LTE connection setup. In terms of NR, the connection settings can also be changed dynamically or in response to network requests. Once the 3GPP LTE 5G UE capability instruction of the network is completed, the network can communicate with the 3GPP 5G UE based on the UE capability to configure differences such as dual-connection or multi-connection, or dual-beam or multi-beam operation feature. UE capabilities can also be used for Handover (HO) with 3GPP 5G UEs and so on.

Alternatively, the capability of the 3GPP 5G UE can be expressed as a parameter. For example, a parameter information element (IE) may contain all the parameters used to configure each UE mode, as described herein. It should be understood that, as described in this example, only one high-level parameter exemplary IE is provided.

For example, FIG. 7 provides another virtual code diagram, which shows an example of how the NR parameter information element can be transmitted for a 3GPP 5G UE. With the implementation of 3GPP 5G dual-link, multi-link, dual-beam, and multi-beam capabilities, additional lower-level parameters can be developed. In one example, the new content of 3GPP TS36.331 version 13 provided by the UE-EUTRA capability 13x0 version can be applied to support the dual-connection, multi-connection, dual-beam, and multi-beam capabilities of the UE mode. Additional information components. It should be noted that the new addition to the 13th release of 3GPP TS36.331 is to add a bottom line for the convenience of description.

Identifier (ID)

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

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

The one or more identifiers may also be transparent to the UE. In option 1, various IDs (such as 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, and other IDs are not transparent to the UE.

In 3GPP 5G, this technology can also define a relationship between cell ID, TRP ID and beam ID. In option 1, a beam ID can be structured or configured so 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, TRP ID, and beam ID, but the UE can use the beam ID to report and read a system information block (SIB) on 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 extension eNB. A 3GPP LTE macro cell is called an eNB. 3GPP 5G TRPs (including dual-beam and multi-beam) can be referred to herein as extended TRPs.
