No. 7,890,113, is a National Stage of PCT/GB2004/000526, filed Feb. 11, 2004, and claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 from United Kingdom Patent Application No. 0303079.8, filed Feb. 11, 2003.
- This invention relates to communication systems and particularly Time Division Duplex (TDD) operation in cellular communication systems.
- In the field of this invention it is known that first and second generation cellular standards all use “Frequency Division Duplex” (FDD) in which there are separate downlink (base station to mobile) and uplink (mobile to base station) frequency allocations. These allocations are separated by a “duplex spacing” to prevent interference between the simultaneous transmission and reception taking place at both the base station and mobile. FDD allocations are typically termed “paired spectrum”.
- “Time Division Duplex” (TDD) is used in more recent standards, such as “3rd Generation Partnership Project” (3GPP) “Time Division—Code Division Multiple Access” (TD-CDMA) and 3GPP “Time Division—Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access” (TD-SCDMA). In TDD systems, transmission and reception takes place alternately in time on the same frequency. TDD is very well suited for packet data communication where uplink and downlink capacity can easily be adjusted to meet subscriber traffic profile.
- TDD is not used in FDD bands, because of interference concerns. TDD can operate in the mobile transmit (uplink) portion of a FDD band without detrimental interference. The allocation of TDD channels immediately adjacent to the FDD uplink channels in the “International Mobile Telecommunications 2000” (IMT-2000, International Telecommunication Union designated ‘3G’ band) provides evidence of the feasibility of this. The frequency allocation for IMT-2000 is shown in
FIG. 1 . - However, operation of TDD in the downlink portion of an FDD band is problematic, because of adjacent channel interference from existing FDD base stations to the receivers of co-located or nearby TDD base stations, both of which typically transmit at higher power than the corresponding user terminals.
- Consequently, where a wireless operator has an FDD spectrum allocation, TDD technology can normally only be operated in the FDD uplink part of the spectrum, leaving the FDD downlink spectrum unutilized and effectively ‘wasted’.
- A need therefore exists for an arrangement, method and unit for TDD operation in a communication system wherein the abovementioned disadvantage (s) may be alleviated.
- In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a method for TDD operation in a communication system as claimed in claim 1.
- In accordance with a second aspect of the present invention there is provided a base station for TDD operation in a communication system as claimed in claim 8.
- In accordance with a third aspect of the present invention there is provided a mobile station for TDD operation in a communication system as claimed in claim 15.
- One method, base station and mobile station for TDD operation in a communication system incorporating the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 shows a block schematic illustration of IMT-2000 frequency allocation; -
FIG. 2 shows a block schematic illustration of TDD with auxiliary downlink utilization; and -
FIG. 3 shows a block schematic illustration of system architecture of TDD with auxiliary downlink. - The present invention is based on the realization by the inventors that it is possible to:
-
- Enable operation of TDD technology in a band allocated as paired spectrum for FDD
- Provide the ability to use the FDD downlink spectrum effectively to provide capacity and therefore avoid wastage. This is referred to as an auxiliary TDD downlink channel.
- Avoid detrimental interference in operation of TDD in the FDD downlink spectrum.
- Remove the fixed duplex frequency separation requirement.
- An example of TDD operation with auxiliary downlink is shown in
FIG. 2 . As illustrated, standard TDD operates in the uplink FDD spectrum (210) while the auxiliary downlink operates in the downlink FDD spectrum (220). In the illustration, an example of a 15-time slot frame structure is shown. An upward pointing arrow in a radio frame denotes an uplink time slot, and a downward pointing arrow denotes a downlink time slot. As can be seen, system capacity is expanded by use of the auxiliary downlink. -
FIG. 3 shows the basic architecture of a 3GPPcellular communication system 300 incorporating the present invention. As illustrated, a NodeB (or base station) 310 is controlled (over the ‘Iub’ interface) by a Radio Network Controller (RNC) 320 and communicates over the Uu radio interface with User Equipment (UE or mobile terminal) 330. - It will be understood that in other respects the
system 300 operates in accordance with relevant 3GPP Technical Specifications (available at the website http://www.3gpp.org), and need not be described in further detail herein. However, as will be explained further below, for the NodeB 320 the following is to be noted that the base station (NodeB) includes a lower bandlogical unit 322 and an upper bandlogical unit 324 and operates in both the upper (FDD downlink) and lower (FDD uplink) bands simultaneously, under the control of theRNC 310. - The lower band
logical unit 322 supports normal TDD operation, where the radio resource is divided into time slots. - The upper band
logical unit 324 supports auxiliary downlink operation. This logical unit supports downlink operation only. The radio resource is divided into time slots. - In the system of
FIG. 3 , three types of UE 330 can be supported: - 1. Single frequency standard TDD UE (not shown):
-
- This is the standard TDD UE where both uplink and downlink operate on a single frequency. This type of UE will operate by communicating with the lower band logical unit in the NodeB.
- 2. Single instantaneous frequency UE (not shown):
-
- This type of UE is able to tune to two different frequencies (the lower and upper FDD bands) in the same TDD frame under the control of the network. The UE operates uplink transmission in the lower FDD band. The UE can operate in either the standard TDD downlink (lower FDD band) or auxiliary downlink (upper FDD band) under the control of the network.
- 3. Dual simultaneous frequency UE 330:
-
- This type of UE has a lower band UL/DL
logical unit 332, an upper ‘Aux DL’logical unit 334 and an ‘Aux DL’ Capability Messaginglogical unit 336, and is able to simultaneously tune to both the lower and upper FDD bands. The UE operates uplink transmission in the lower FDD band. The UE operates standard TDD downlink (lower FDD band) and auxiliary downlink (upper FDD band) under the control of the network. With dual simultaneous frequency capability the UE is able to operate with increased downlink capacity.
- This type of UE has a lower band UL/DL
- In operation of the system of
FIG. 3 , the auxiliary downlink (‘Aux DL’) capability allows an inherently TDD technology to efficiently utilize the FDD downlink band, avoiding wastage of spectrum, and the downlink resource in the lower and upper bands is treated as a combined ‘single pool’ resource, which can be allocated to users according to demand. TheNodeB 320 provides common signalling for both TDD frequencies. - At any time, an individual UE that can support the ‘Aux DL’ mode of operation may be allocated downlink capacity in the lower band or upper band or both.
- UE's and NodeB's exchange ‘Aux DL’ capability messages, such that the NodeB's and UE's with and without the ‘Aux DL’ feature can co-exist in the network and each operate to the best of their respective abilities.
- A UE that does not support auxiliary downlink, e.g., a roaming UE from another TDD network, is compatible with the auxiliary downlink architecture by operating in standard TDD mode in lower band. In this case, the auxiliary downlink feature is transparent to the UE.
- While the Auxiliary Downlink increases the total downlink capacity, it also enables uplink capacity to be increased, as additional timeslots can be allocated in the lower TDD band to uplink traffic channels.
- The separation of the lower and upper band is not restricted by the standard FDD duplex frequency separation. The UE is instructed by the network to tune to the correct frequency for the auxiliary downlink. At the network level the auxiliary downlink in the upper band can even be adjacent to the lower band (even though the UE may be required to operate only on one downlink frequency at one time to minimize the receive filtering requirements). This effectively allows the operator to deploy the proposed TDD technology in contiguous frequency allocation.
- It will be understood that the arrangement, method and unit for TDD operation in a communication system described above provides the following advantages:
-
- Provides a flexible method to deploy a time division duplex architecture in frequency division duplex spectrum.
- Allows flexible use of system capacity by adjusting the uplink and downlink capacity split.
- Removes previous FDD duplex restrictions.
