Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/742,847, filed May 1, 2007, currently pending, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/798,119, filed May 5, 2006, the entire contents of both applications being hereby incorporated by reference herein, for all purposes.
- The present invention is related to wireless communication methods and apparatus having a medium access control (MAC) layer specifically designed for wireless communication systems such as long term evolution (LTE) systems. More particularly, the present invention is related to criteria and procedures in LTE MAC for detecting radio link (RL) failure in both uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) directions when there is no existing dedicated channel in the LTE system.
- An objective of Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) and Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) is to provide a radio access network featuring a high-data-rate, low-latency, packet-optimized system with improved system capacity and coverage. In order to achieve this, the inventors have observed that evolution of the radio interface as well as the radio network architecture is needed. For example, instead of using code division multiple access (CDMA), which is currently used in third generation partnership project (3GPP), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) and frequency division multiple access (FDMA) are proposed air interface technologies to be used in the DL and UL transmissions, respectively, for E-UTRA UTRAN.
- Signaling radio bearers (SRB) are used to maintain the connection between a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) and a network by transmitting important information, such as a handover message from the network, e.g., transmitting such information in a dedicated channel (DCH) cell level (Cell_DCH) state in 3GPP. In current 3GPP standards, the SRBs are mapped to dedicated transport channels (TrCHs), (i.e., DCHs), which are then mapped to dedicated physical channels. The dedicated physical channels are comprised of dedicated physical control channels (DPCCHs) and dedicated physical data channels (DPDCHs).
- In order to detect the failure of the SRBs, and to take necessary measures following the failure, certain criteria and procedures need to be designed. This is known as radio link (RL) failure detection. In 3GPP, there are two quantities to be estimated for reporting in-synchronization status and out-of-synchronization status. One quantity is a DPCCH quality, and the other quantity is a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) results on the received transport blocks to which the SRBs are mapped.
- A Node-B or WTRU should estimate the DPCCH quantities and calculate the CRC in parallel in order to check if the certain criteria are fulfilled for reporting either the in-synchronization status or the out-of-synchronization status. The criteria identified may be only applicable when SRBs are mapped to shared channels, and their associated control channels are identified for RL failure conditions.
- Dedicated physical channel availability is indicated by the physical layer to higher layers with a physical channel in-synchronization status indicator or a physical channel out-of-synchronization status indicator. A RL is said to be in synchronization, (in-sync), if it is available to successfully receive data. Otherwise, the RL is said to be in failure, i.e. when it is out of synchronization (out-of-sync). In the current 3GPP standard, it is the responsibility of physical layer to monitor the dedicated physical channels, determine the in-sync and out-of-sync status of every radio frame, and report the results to the radio resource control (RRC) layer using the primitives physical layer control message in-synchronization indicator (CPHY-in-sync-IND) and physical layer control message out-of-synchronization indicator (CPHY-out-of-sync-IND). The RRC layer will declare the physical channel establishment or failure, or RL failure, whenever appropriate based on these indications and associated timers and counters.
- In 3GPP, high speed DL packet access (HSDPA) and high speed UL packet access (HSUPA) protocols utilize high speed shared channels primarily for services that do not require continuous channel allocations. Such channels utilize fast physical and MAC layer signaling between Node-Bs and WTRUs for channel assignment and hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) for efficient and fast recovery of failed transmissions.
- When the service supported by a cellular system is mapped to shared channels, the inventors have recognized that the use of dedicated channels to support SRBs is inefficient. This is because the traffic may not be continuous. Thus, it would be desirable to use shared channels to support the SRBs in HSDPA and HSUPA.
- The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for implementing new criteria and procedures for radio link (RL) failure detection in wireless communication systems (e.g., LTE systems). Preferably the invention is implemented for both UL and DL directions by exploiting a new channel structure and characteristics for LTE. Preferably, a shared channel is used to transmit bursty SRBs.
- Embodiments contemplate a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) that may be configured to determine a radio link (RL) synchronization status. The WTRU may be configured to determine a quality of a downlink (DL) common shared control physical channel communicated in a channel structure corresponding to a long-term evolution (LTE) compatible network. The WTRU may also be configured to compare the quality to a predetermined threshold to determine the RL synchronization status, based at least in part, on the comparison.
- A more detailed understanding of the invention may be had from the following description of a preferred embodiment, given by way of example and to be understood in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2B is a flow diagram of a method for detecting DL RL failure. -
FIG. 3A is a signaling diagram depicting a UL RL failure detection procedure in accordance with the present invention. -
FIG. 3B is a flow diagram of a method for detecting UL RL failure. - When referred to hereafter, the terminology “wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)” includes but is not limited to a user equipment (UE), a mobile station, a fixed or mobile subscriber unit, a pager, a cellular telephone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a computer, or any other type of user device capable of operating in a wireless environment. When referred to hereafter, the terminology “evolved Node-B (eNodeB)” includes but is not limited to a base station, a site controller, an access point (AP), or any other type of interfacing device capable of operating in a wireless environment.
- When referred to hereafter, the terminology “thin channel” is a non-contention-based channel that is periodically and/or temporarily allocated to a particular WTRU. A thin channel may be dynamically allocated, (i.e., switched on an off), when needed to maintain radio link status and provide other control signaling. The other control signaling may include synchronization bursts for maintaining timing advance, scheduling requests, scheduling allocations, or any other channel associated control signaling.
- In an LTE system, only shared physical channels are used for transmission for both DL and UL. Thus, in addition to data traffic, both real time, (i.e., voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)), and non-real time, (i.e., web browsing), a control message mapped to SRBs is transmitted through a shared physical channel. This is a distinction from systems that transmit control messages in a dedicated channel (DCH).
- Ensuring WTRU and UTRAN detection of SRB loss and recovery with respect to a shared channel presents a problem which is different than when a dedicated channel is used. In the absence of a dedicated channel, burstiness in offered traffic load may cause an undetected SRB failure. This problem exists for both DL and UL.
- An
LTE system 100 including a WTRU 105 and an evolved Node-B (eNodeB) 110 which addresses this problem in accordance with the present invention is illustrated inFIG. 1 . The WTRU 105 and the evolved Node-B (eNodeB) 110 are preferably configured with a hierarchy of processing components including a physical layer component, a MAC layer component and higher layer components. The physical layer component is preferably configured to physically transmit and receive wireless signals. The MAC layer component is preferably configured to provide control functions for the physical layer, and to act as a conduit for data and other signaling from higher layers for formatting and transmission by the physical layer, and to pass data and other signaling received by the physical layer to the higher layer components. - RL Failure Detection in DL—Procedures at the WTRU
- As shown in
FIG. 1 , for DL transmission, scheduling information is transmitted on a DL sharedcontrol channel 115 from the eNodeB 110 to the WTRU 105. From the control signaling received on the DL sharedcontrol channel 115, theWTRU 105 receives information as to the physical resources that are allocated. A DL shareddata channel 120 is used to transmit data from theeNodeB 110 that is received by theWTRU 105 via allocated physical resources. TheWTRU 105 then transmits H-ARQ feedback 125 to theeNodeB 110, (i.e., positive acknowledgement (ACK)/negative acknowledgement (NACK)). TheWTRU 105 also transmits a channel quality indication (CQI) 130 to theeNodeB 110 based on the measurement and estimation of at least oneDL reference channel 135 that is transmitted from theeNodeB 110 and received by theWTRU 105. - The
WTRU 105 continuously determines whether an in-synchronization status or an out-of-synchronization status is detected, and reports the results through a signaling message. A higher layer component is configured to preferably declare an RL failure based on appropriate criteria and associated timers and counters, only when an out-of synchronization status is detected. Preferably, the MAC layer component of theWTRU 105 is configured to determine whether an in-synchronization status or an out-of-synchronization status is detected. Quantities used for estimation for the DL RL failure detection are discussed below and are preferably based on the characteristics of the LTE DL channel structure. - To address resource sharing and allocation to the
WTRU 105 in terms of availability of the traffic, new procedures have been devised based on new criteria. By exploiting various shared channels and the information contained therein, the following preferred options of criteria are used to declare DL RL failure at theWTRU 105. Preferably, a combination of one or more criteria is selected from the following five preferred categories for this purpose. - 1) DL Channel Quality (sliding window average):

- The
eNodeB 110 preferably selects a combination of the above quantities and parameters and the corresponding thresholds, timers, counters to be used for RL status detection and then transmits a selected configuration to theWTRU 105. The configuration signals to support the DL RL failure detection preferably include: -
- 1) A combination of estimation quantities and parameters for RL failure detection;
- 2) Specific timer duration for each quantity and parameter where the RL failure timer configuration is preferably based on the WTRU sensitivity; and
- 3) Specific counters for each quantity and parameter.
- Once the
WTRU 105 is configured with this information, it can begin the RL detection process. The signaling for DL RL failure detection preferably uses a DL RL failure indication. A high level procedure can be implemented, preferably in an embodiment dealing with a “Keep Alive” (using thin channel) case or an embodiment dealing with a “Non-Keep Alive” (without using thin channel) case. -
FIG. 2A is a signaling diagram depicting a DL RL failure detection procedure in a wireless communication including aWTRU 105 and aneNodeB 110 in accordance with the present invention. As shown inFIG. 2A , a CQI is measured from a DL reference channel and is provided to theWTRU 105 as feedback from theeNodeB 110. The DL RL failure detection may detect the failure of a DL shared control channel, a DL shared data channel, a UL resource grant or a DL thin channel. - Generally, in accordance with the present invention, a high level DL RL detection procedure is preferably implemented with the following steps:
-
- 1) A combination of estimation quantities are selected to serve as the criteria for DL RL failure detection. The estimation quantities are preferably a combination of criteria as described above. Preferably, associated thresholds and timers are included as described in above paragraphs individually along with the estimation quantities. Preferably the configuration is determined by the
eNodeB 110 and signaled to theWTRU 105. - 2) The
WTRU 105 is preferably configured with the selected combination of quantities and parameters before the start of the detection procedure. Preferably, the MAC component of theWTRU 105 is provided with the ability to be selectively configurable for this purpose. - 3) The
WTRU 105, preferably via its MAC component, then monitors the selected combination of quantities and parameters. When the configured estimation quantities do not meet selected thresholds within a pre-configured time period, a DL RL failure is detected and declared. - 4) The
WTRU 105 then signals the failure status to theeNodeB 110. - 5) Actions for DL RL recovery are then taken, and the timers and counters are reset for a new detection.
- 1) A combination of estimation quantities are selected to serve as the criteria for DL RL failure detection. The estimation quantities are preferably a combination of criteria as described above. Preferably, associated thresholds and timers are included as described in above paragraphs individually along with the estimation quantities. Preferably the configuration is determined by the
- In accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention, a high level DL RL detection procedure for a keep alive channel scenario of SRBs a pre-allocated DL thin channel is maintained. Where there is a pre-allocated DL thin channel maintained for SRB, the channel quality is measured on a DL thin channel is preferably selected as a main quantity to estimate the quality for DL SRB transmission. Other estimation quantities are selected to serve as a complimentary approach to assist the DL RL failure detection is selecting the combination of estimation quantities with which to configure the WTRU.
- In accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention, a high level DL RL detection procedure for a non-keep alive channel scenario of SRBs is implemented. In this case, there is no pre-allocated DL thin channel for SRB service. Although there are other periodic DL receptions, such as DL reference channels, that are not directly related to the DL SRB transmission. Accordingly, such other periodic DL receptions are preferably only used in combination with other quantities which preferably includes the shared data channel transmitting the DL SRBs.

FIG. 2B is a flow diagram of amethod 200 for detecting DL RL failure. Instep 205, the channel quality of a DL thin channel is measured if there is a pre-allocated DL thin channel maintained for an SRB to estimate the quality for DL SRB transmission. Instep 210, quantities and parameters are configured for performing DL RL failure detection which is then conducted instep 215. If a DL RL failure is detected and declared instep 215, a WTRU signals DL RL failure status to an eNodeB instep 220. The WTRU then performs necessary actions for DL RL recovery instep 225 and the WTRU resets timers and counters for new RL failure detection instep 230. - RL Failure Detection in UL—Procedures at the eNodeB
- As shown in
FIG. 1 , for UL transmission, the scheduling information is also transmitted on the DL sharedcontrol channel 115 from theeNodeB 110 to theWTRU 105. The UL sharedcontrol channel 140 is used to send control information fromWTRU 105 to theeNodeB 110. From the control signaling received on the DL sharedcontrol channel 115, theWTRU 105 receives information as to the physical resources that are allocated. A UL shareddata channel 145 is used to transmit data from theWTRU 105 to theeNodeB 110. After receiving UL packets from theWTRU 105, theeNodeB 110 then transmits H-ARQ feedback (ACK/NACK) 150 to theWTRU 105. Furthermore, theeNodeB 110 transmits aCQI 155 to theWTRU 105 based on the measurement and estimation of at least oneUL reference channel 160 that is transmitted from theWTRU 105 and received by theeNodeB 110. - The
eNodeB 110 continuously determines whether an in-synchronization status or an out-of-synchronization status is detected, and reports the results through a signaling message. A higher layer component is configured to preferably declare an RL failure based on appropriate criteria and associated timers and counters only when an out-of synchronization status is detected. Preferably, the MAC layer component of the MAC layer component of theeNodeB 110 is configured to determine whether an in-synchronization status or an out-of-synchronization status is detected. Quantities used for estimation for the UL RL failure detection are discussed below and are preferably based on the characteristics of the LTE UL channel structure. - Due to the new characteristics of LTE UL channel structure, some new quantities have to be used for estimation for the UL RL failure detection. These quantities may not be exactly the same as those used for DL RL failure detection.
- At the
eNodeB 110, the information contained in the UL shared control and data channels is used as the estimation quantities of the UL RL failure detection. Specifically, the UL thin channel is used to provide a periodic and/or temporarily allocated link in UL. Thus, the new criteria and parameters for UL RL failure detection may include one or more of the following: -
- 1) whether a reported CQI is below a certain threshold QUL
— CQI within a specified period TUL— CQI sliding window average).- 1a) whether a CQI to be reported to WTRU (measured from UL reference channel) is below a specified threshold QUL
— CQI within certain period TUL— CQI; - 1b) whether a CQI from feedback from WTRU (measured on the DL reference channels transmitted from the eNodeB) is below a specified threshold QDL
— CQI within a certain period TDL— CQI; and - 1c) a combination of CQI for both UL and DL.
- 1a) whether a CQI to be reported to WTRU (measured from UL reference channel) is below a specified threshold QUL
- 2) Rate Request reception—whether a predefined periodic or polled UL timing synchronization signal is not received for a specified period TUL
— Thin. - 3) UL Data Reception
- 3a) whether no response to the scheduling grants are received for a specified period TUL
— Resp— ULGrant; and - 3b) whether ACK/NACK ratio and/or discarded DL transmissions is below a specified threshold RUL
— ACK.
- 3a) whether no response to the scheduling grants are received for a specified period TUL
- 4) UL Data BLER—calculated by ACK/NACK ratio on final data transmission attempt from the WTRU's UL shared data channel.
- 5) UL Resource Grant
- Allocated UL resources cannot guarantee the SRB bit rate, and timeout following no response to multiple resource requests.
- 6) UL Control Reception—whether the quality of a UL shared physical channel is below certain threshold QUL
— SIR, QUL— BLER (SIR, EbNo, CRC/BLER, and the like) over a specified time period TUL— SIR, TUL— BLER.
- 1) whether a reported CQI is below a certain threshold QUL
- A higher layer should determine the subset of the above quantities and what the appropriate thresholds, timers, counters and parameters (as described above) to be used for UL RL status detection should be. The following parameters should be configured to support the UL RL failure:
- 1) Estimation quantities and parameters to be used for UL RL failure detection;
- 2) Specific timer duration for each quantity and special parameter; and
- 3) Specific counters for each quantity and special parameter. The signaling for UL RL failure detection can be the UL RL failure indication.
- The eNodeB can begin the UL RL detection process once the eNodeB is configured with above information. Similar to described above for WTRU, the high level procedure can be proposed in two embodiments dealing with the Keep Alive (using thin channel) and Non-Keep Alive (without using thin channel) cases.

FIG. 3A is a signaling diagram depicting a UL RL failure detection procedure in a wireless communication including aWTRU 105 and aneNodeB 110 in accordance with the present invention. As shown inFIG. 3A , a CQI is measured from a UL reference channel and is reported by theWTRU 105. The UL RL failure detection may detect the failure of a UL rate request, (a thin UL channel or a non-synchronous random access channel (RACH)), a UL shared control channel, a UL shared data channel or a UL resource grant. - In accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention, a keep alive channel scenario of SRBs is implemented as follows:
- 1) Since there is a pre-defined UL thin channel maintained for SRB in this scenario, it is proposed to measure the channel quality on UL thin channel as a main factor to estimate the quality for UL SRB transmission. The DL thin channel may be used to probe, (i.e., “ping”), for RL failure. It may probe based on criteria similar to those used to determine UL RL failure.
- 2) Other estimation quantities can be used as a complimentary approach to assist the UL RL failure detection. Exact quantities and parameters should be configured before the start of the detection procedure.
- 3) If the configured estimation quantities are not meeting certain thresholds within a pre-configured time period, then UL RL failure is detected and it should be declared, then:
-
- a) The eNodeB should signal the failure status to WTRU;
- b) The eNodeB should take the necessary actions for UL RL recovery; and
- c) The eNodeB should reset the timers and counters for new detection.
- In accordance with a fourth embodiment of the present invention, a high level UL RL detection procedure for a non-keep alive channel scenario of SRBs is implemented.
- 1) In this case, there is no pre-allocated UL thin channel for SRB service. Although there are other periodic UL receptions, such as a UL reference channel, these are not directly related to the UL SRB transmission, so they can only be used by combining with other quantities, especially the shared data channel transmitting the UL SRBs.
- 2) The following procedures are similar as described in step 3) of the third embodiment.
- Estimation quantities described above can be used to assist the UL RL failure detection. Exact quantities and parameters (part of or all of them) should be configured before the start of the detection procedure.
- If the configured estimation quantities are not meeting certain thresholds within a pre-configured time period, then UL RL failure is detected and it should be declared, then:
-
- a) The eNodeB should signal the failure status to WTRU;
- b) The eNodeB should take the necessary actions for UL RL recovery; and
- c) The Node-B should reset the timers and counters for new detection.
The gap due to discontinuous reception (DRX)/discontinuous transmission (DTX) should be handled properly while setting the timer or measurements.

If an UL RL failure is detected and declared instep 315, an eNodeB signals UL RL failure status to a WTRU instep 320. The eNodeB then performs necessary actions for UL RL recovery instep 325 and the eNodeB resets timers and counters for new RL failure detection instep 330. - The present invention may be implemented in any type of wireless communication system, as desired.
