Description

    CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
  • This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/955,527, filed on Aug. 13, 2007, which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth.
  • FIELD OF INVENTION
  • This application is related to wireless communications.
  • BACKGROUND
  • Higher-order modulation for the uplink (UL) has been introduced for some wireless communication networks. One example is Release 7 of the High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) specifications. In these specifications, for example, a user equipment (UE) may operate (or not) in the 16-symbol quadrature amplitude modulation (16 QAM) mode. When the UE operates in the 16 QAM mode, it has to utilize one of several newly defined enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) transport block tables appropriate for transmitting at data rates up to the maximum rates allowed by 16 QAM operation. When the UE does not operate in the 16 QAM mode, it has to utilize one of the original E-DCH transport block tables.
  • In practical deployments, not all cells of a radio network are necessarily upgraded at the same time to support a new feature such as 16 QAM operation. Therefore, it is likely that in initial deployment, some cells in the network will support the feature and other will not. As the UE moves within the network, it will have to add cells to and remove cells from its active set that may or may not support 16 QAM operation. A cell that supports 16 QAM operation can properly receive signals from a UE not operating in 16 QAM mode. However, a cell not supporting 16 QAM operation can not properly receive signals from a UE operating in 16 QAM mode. For this reason, a modification to the active set update procedure has been introduced whereby the network can signal to the UE whether it should start or stop 16 QAM operation. The network would typically signal to the UE to stop 16 QAM operation when a cell not supporting 16 QAM operation is added to the active set, and may signal to the UE to start 16 QAM operation when all cells in its active set support it.
  • Although this modification allows the network to signal the start or stop of 16 QAM operation to the UE, the UE still does not have all the information it needs to properly switch between the two modes of operation. When switching operation, the UE cannot use some E-DCH configuration parameters as they are currently defined.
  • Additionally, when these parameters are changed, the enhanced media access control (MAC-e) needs to flush the UL hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) buffers which contain MAC-e PDUs with the old enhanced transport format combination index (E-TFCI) tables.
  • However, the current active set update procedure does not have any provisions to change the above mentioned E-DCH configuration parameters. Some of the parameters, such as E-DPCCH/DPCCH power offset and Reference E-TFCI, may be changed with the active set update but only when a serving E-DCH cell change occurs. However, starting and stopping of 16 QAM operations may also occur when adding a new cell to the E-DCH active set without changing the serving cell.
  • The absence of this signaling in the active set update procedure prevents proper transitioning between 16 QAM mode and non-16 QAM (normal) mode when a cell is added or removed from the (E-DCH) active set or when the E-DCH serving cell is modified. By providing the mechanisms for proper transition between 16 QAM mode and non-16 QAM mode resulting from an active set update procedure, the embodiments to be described herein allow a reduction in re-configuration delays and a reduction of signaling overhead (power and bandwidth).
  • SUMMARY
  • A method and apparatus are disclosed for reconfiguring a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The method comprises receiving an active set update message indicating that a mode of operation allowing a certain modulation scheme is enabled or disabled; and performing at least one of: performing a MAC reset procedure, updating a set of reference enhanced transport format combination indicators (E-TFCIs) and associated power offsets, determining actions related to E-DPCCH boosting, modifying information related to an enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH), and modifying an index that indicates an E-DCH transport block size table. The update message includes at least one modified information element (IE).
  • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • A more detailed understanding may be had from the following description, given by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
  • FIG. 1 shows a signaling diagram for an active set update message for higher order modulation.
  • FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an embodiment of a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU).
  • FIGS. 3A and 3B are a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for reconfiguring a WTRU in response to an update message.
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • 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 “base station” includes but is not limited to a Node-B, a site controller, an access point (AP), or any other type of interfacing device capable of operating in a wireless environment.
  • A method and wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) are disclosed that enable re-configuring E-DCH transmission parameters when 16 QAM operations are started or stopped following an active set update procedure.
  • FIG. 1 is an example of a signaling diagram which summarizes events occurring as a WTRU moves between cells which employ different modulation modes for communication. As a specific example, FIG. 1 shows a case where a WTRU moves from a cell in which 16 QAM modulation is available toward a cell where this modulation scheme is not available. In FIG. 1, time progresses from top to bottom. Four vertical lines indicate status of four entities: the WTRU 105, a Node B 110 not providing 16 QAM, a Node B 115 providing 16 QAM, and a radio network controller (RNC) 120 interacting with both Node Bs 110 and 115. Horizontal arrows show interactions between these entities.
  • At time 125 the WTRU is operating using 16 QAM in communication with Node B 115. At time 130 the RNC senses that the WTRU is approaching the cell of Node B 110 which does not provide 16 QAM. The RNC transmits an active set update message to the WTRU at time 130 for the purpose of updating an active set in the WTRU. The active set determines with which cells the WTRU can properly communicate. The WTRU receives the message and responds to it at time 140 by reconfiguring itself so that it can communicate with Node B 110 without using 16 QAM since, Node B 110 does not support this particular modulation scheme. At time 135 the updating of the active set and reconfiguring of the WTRU is complete.
  • FIGS. 3A and 3B show an embodiment of a method for reconfiguring a WTRU in response to receiving an update message. The update message may contain newly defined information elements (IEs) for controlling update procedures. The WTRU acts on these IEs if certain conditions are met.
  • The active set update message is received at 300. The update procedure may include resetting a media access control (MAC), updating a set of reference enhanced transport format combination indicators (E-TFCIs) and associated power offsets, modifying information related to a dedicated channel (DCH), and modifying an index that indicates a transport block size table. Each of these will now be described in detail. The WTRU is assumed to be communicating within a wireless network.
  • First to be described is the procedure of resetting a MAC. In order to clear the buffers and start using the new E-DCH configuration, a MAC-es/e reset may be performed during the active set update procedure when a change of available modulation occurs, such as from 16 QAM being available to not being available or vice-versa. This may be described as a change from 16 QAM mode to non-16 QAM mode or vice-versa. The network signals the WTRU through an information element (IE) included in the active set update message. The IE is included if MAC-es/e reset is to be performed. The WTRU may receive the message with this IE at 300. This particular IE may be included in the active set update message itself. It may be included in the root of the message or within an already included IE, such as an E-DCH reconfiguration info IE, or somewhere within the branching (“arborescence”) of included IEs, or in a newly introduced group of IEs that are present when the WTRU supports, for example, 16 QAM. The latter case is shown in FIG. 3A, and an example of a newly introduced IE designated UL 16 QAM Configuration is shown in 310. Details of the UL 16 QAM Configuration IE and its included sub-IEs are presented in Table 4 below.
  • Referring to FIG. 3A, the WTRU checks the active set update message, received at 300, for the presence of the UL 16 QAM Configuration IE, 310. If the UL 16 QAM Configuration IE is not included in the message at 310 and if the WTRU is operating in 16 QAM modulation mode, the WTRU behavior is unspecified, 305.
  • If the UL 16 QAM Configuration IE is present, the WTRU checks if this IE includes a MAC-es/e reset indicator, 315. If this reset indicator is present the WTRU performs a reset of MAC-es/e entity, 330. The reset may be performed according to the standard 3GPP TS 25.321, version 7.5.0 or later. If the reset indicator is not present and the WTRU starts or stops 16 QAM mode operation, the WTRU behavior is unspecified, 325.
  • If the UL 16 QAM Configuration IE is found to be included in 310 but this IE does not include an IE called UL 16 QAM Settings, an indication may be sent to lower layers in the WTRU to stop any operation in 16 QAM mode, 320.
  • Alternatively, the WTRU may perform a MAC-es/e reset if the UL 16 QAM Configuration IE is present, and may not perform a MAC-es/e reset if this IE is not present.
  • Alternatively, the WTRU may perform MAC-es/e reset if 16 QAM mode operation is started or stopped.
  • Next to be described is updating a set of reference enhanced transport format combination indicators (E-TFCIs) and associated power offsets. In general, a TFCI allows receiving layers to identify a currently valid Transport Format Combination and hence enables a receiver to decode, de-multiplex and deliver received data. The WTRU may update reference E-TFCIs and associated power offsets even if the E-DCH serving cell is not changed by the active set update procedure. When 16 QAM mode is started or stopped, the reference E-TFCI and associated power offsets are updated accordingly.
  • Again, new IEs may be defined for this purpose. These IEs, referred to in the following description, are described in Tables 1-4 below. Referring to FIG. 3B and Tables 1-4, if the E-TFCI Boost IE is included anywhere in the active set update message at 300, this IE is acted upon, 350. If the E-DPCCH/DPCCH Power Offset IE is included anywhere in the active set update message at 300, this IE is acted upon, 360. If the Reference E-TFCIs IE is included anywhere in the active set update message at 300, this IE is acted upon, and any sub-IEs in it are acted upon 355. If the E-TFCI Boost IE and Reference E-TFCIs IE are both included in the update message (350 and 355), and if a reference E-TFCI has a value less than or equal to a value of the E-TFCI Boost IE, and if the Reference E-TFCI PO has a value equal to one or more predetermined values, then the behavior of the WTRU is left unspecified 365. In the particular example of Tables 2 and 3, the predetermined values used for both reference E-TFCI PO IEs are 30 and 31.
  • Note that this Reference E-TFCI PO IE is distinct from an existing IE of the same name within the E-DCH reconfiguration information IE (Table 2). The two Reference E-TFCI PO IEs may contain the same information but should never be present simultaneously.
  • Again, the IEs may be present in the active set update message itself. Alternatively, they may be included in the root of the message or in one of the included IEs, or somewhere within the branching of included IEs. The WTRU starts using the new IEs at the activation time. If the new IE is not included the WTRU may keep using an existing reference E-TFCI and power offsets with the indices now pointing to the new E-DCH Transport Block Size table. Alternatively, if the new IE is not included, the WTRU behavior is unspecified. Other parameters that are not listed above may need to be modified when 16 QAM operations are started or stopped. This may be achieved by the same or similar method as that described above.
  • Next to be described is modifying an index that indicates a transport block size. In current specifications, there are two sets of E-DCH Transport Block Size tables specified for 2 ms transport time interval (TTI): two tables (2 ms TTI E-DCH Transport Block Size Table 0 and 1) for QPSK operations and two tables for 16 QAM operations (2 ms TTI E-DCH Transport Block Size Table 2 and 3). Referring to FIG. 3B, the WTRU receives the table index 0 or 1 in the E-DCH Transport Block Size table index IE 370 which, in turn, is contained in the active set update message, 300. If the WTRU is operating in 16 QAM mode the WTRU automatically adds 2 to the table index, thereby indicating that the 16 QAM tables are to be used, 375. In this case, indices in the Scheduling Grant (SG) table may refer to Scheduling Grant Table 2 in the standard 3GPP TS 25.321, version 7.5.0 or later.
  • It may be desirable to change the E-DCH Transport Block Size table index during an active set update procedure resulting in a change of 16 QAM operations, an operation that is not possible in current specifications.
  • Various alternatives may be implemented, each alternative affecting where the above procedures get executed in the active set update procedure—that is, where in the active set update message the IEs are located relative to existing IEs.
  • In a first alternative, IEs may be added as part of the E-DCH reconfiguration information IE. Specifically, IEs for the MAC es/e reset indicator and E-TFCI boost may be added to the E-DCH RL Info new serving cell sub IE, and IEs for E-DPCCH/DPCCH power offset and Reference E-TFCIs and its related sub IEs may be added to the E-DCH RL Info other cells IE.
  • In a second alternative, the added IEs above are added as part of the E-DCH reconfiguration information IE. The difference in this alternative is that the IEs MAC es/e reset indicator, E-TFCI boost, and E-TFCI BetaED Switch above are added to the root of the E-DCH reconfiguration information, while the other IEs for E-DPCCH/DPCCH power offset and Reference E-TFCIs and its related sub IEs are added under the E-DCH RL Info other cells sub IE.
  • In a third alternative, an E-DCH Info IE is added to the active set update message, optionally adding conditions to ensure no ambiguity results from having the same IE repeated at different places within the active set update message branching.
  • In a fourth alternative, a new IE is created that contains all other new IEs and is added to the active set update message. This IE may always be present, or it may be present only if 16 QAM is supported by the UE, or only present if the 16 QAM operation is stopped or started.
  • FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a WTRU 200 configured for implementing the methods described above. WTRU 200 includes a radio resource control (RRC) unit 210 in communication with a Media Access Control (MAC) unit 220 and with a physical layer (PHY) unit 230. Physical layer unit 230 may embody the Layer 1 (L1) known in certain models of wireless communications.
  • RRC unit 210 receives an update message. The message may come from a radio network controller (RNC, not shown in FIG. 2) such as feature 120 in FIG. 1. RRC unit 210 processes the message and responds by interacting with MAC unit 220 and PHY unit 230 to reconfigure WTRU 200 in response to the message, according to the method described above.
