Abstract
A method of mapping symbols of a physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH) is described. A start position of a resource element to map the symbols for the PCFICH is determined by flooring a value, obtained by multiplying the number of resource blocks by a variable proportional to a symbol index for the PCFICH and then dividing the multiplied result by 2, wherein the resource blocks are transmitted in downlink. The symbols are mapped in the start position. Therefore, a problem of wasting resource elements or not being able to implement mapping can be solved by applying a simple mapping rule while mapping symbols of the PCFICH.

The present invention relates to a mapping method for frequency and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol regions of a signal transmitted in downlink in a cellular OFDM wireless packet communication system, and more particularly, to a mapping method which is capable of solving a problem of wasting resource elements or not being able to implement mapping by applying a simple mapping rule while mapping symbols of a physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH).
When transmitting data through downlink of an OFDM wireless packet communication system, if each user equipment is informed of how many OFDM symbols are used to transmit a control channel, the user equipment has many advantages in using information of the control channel. Especially, a 3GPP LTE system defines a channel notifying the number of OFDM symbols used for the control channel as a physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH).
More specifically, in the 3GPP LTE system, the PCFICH is expressed as 2 bits indicating three states according to whether the number of OFDM symbols used to transmit the control channel is 1, 2, or 3. The 2 bits are increased to bits through channel coding and then expressed as 16 quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) symbols through QPSK modulation. The PCFICH is always transmitted only through the first OFDM symbol of a subframe and a mapping method in a frequency region for transmission is as follows.
y(0), . . . , y(3) are mapped to resource elements starting with a position of k=k.sub.0, y(4), . . . , y(7) are mapped to resource elements starting with a position of k=k.sub.0+.left brkt-bot.N.sub.RB.sup.DLN.sub.sc.sup.RB/4.right brkt-bot., y(8), . . . , y(11) are mapped to resource elements starting with a position of k=k.sub.0+.left brkt-bot.2N.sub.RB.sup.DLN.sub.sc.sup.RB/4.right brkt-bot., and y(12), . . . , y(15) are mapped to resource elements starting with a position of k=k.sub.0+.left brkt-bot.3N.sub.RB.sup.DLN.sub.sc.sup.RB/4.right brkt-bot.. Here, a value k.sub.0 for shifting a starting point is k.sub.0=(N.sub.sc.sup.RB/2)(N.sub.ID.sup.cell mod 2N.sub.RB.sup.DL).
The above additions include a modular operation of N.sub.RB.sup.DLN.sub.sc.sup.RB, and N.sub.ID.sup.cell denotes a physical layer cell identification (ID).
In the above mapping rule, y(0), . . . , y(15) denote 16 QPSK symbols, N.sub.RB.sup.DL denotes the number of resource blocks transmitted in downlink, and N.sub.sc.sup.RB denotes the number of resource elements per resource block. k.sup.0 is determined according to the cell ID N.sub.ID.sup.cell which varies with each cell. Starting with k.sup.0, the symbols are dispersed in four frequency regions comprised of 4 adjacent resource elements which are not used for transmission of a reference signal (RS) to obtain a frequency diversity gain over all downlink frequency bands, and then transmitted. The reason why the adjacent resource elements which are not used for transmission of the reference signal are used is that since other control channels are constructed with a resource element group (REG) comprised of 4 adjacent resource elements which are not used for transmission of the REFERENCE SIGNAL, multiplexing of a PCFICH with other control channels can be efficiently performed using the same mapping method.
However, when mapping symbols for the PCFICH according to the above-described mapping method, there may be the following disadvantages.
First, if and N.sub.sc.sup.RB is 12 in a general subframe structure of a 3GPP LTE system, the second and fourth frequency regions among 4 frequency regions are mapped over 2 REGs when N.sub.RB.sup.DL is an odd number.
As illustrated in FIG. 1 , if N.sub.RB.sup.DL is an even number, 4 frequency regions for transmission of a PCFICH are identical to units of an REG for transmission of other control channels. However, if N.sub.RB.sup.DL is an odd number, the second and fourth frequency regions are mapped over 2 REGs. In this case, since an REG is comprised of 4 adjacent resource elements which are not used for transmission of a reference signal, resource elements remaining at both sides of the 4 adjacent resource elements can not be used for transmission of a control channel, thereby wasting resources.
Second, the above-described mapping rule has a region in which mapping can not be implemented.
A frequency mapping region varies with N.sub.ID.sup.cell ID which is unique for each cell. Hence, cells having adjacent cell IDs may reduce interference caused by transmission of a PCFICH. This N.sub.ID.sup.cell is comprised of 504 values ranging from 0 to 503 according to a current 3GPP LTE standard. When N.sub.RB.sup.DL is an odd number, a region in which frequency mapping for PCFICH transmission can not be performed occurs according to N.sub.ID.sup.cell.
An object of the present invention devised to solve the problem lies in providing a method which can solve a problem of wasting resource elements or having difficulty in mapping while mapping symbols for a PCFICH.
The object of the present invention can be achieved by providing a method of mapping symbols of a PCFICH in units of a resource element group. If the number of resource blocks transmitted in downlink is an even number, a conventional mapping method is used. If the number of resource blocks is an odd number, the method of mapping symbols of a PCFICH is used including determining a start position of a resource element to map the symbols for the PCFICH using a variable obtained by subtracting 1 from the number of resource blocks, and mapping the symbols in the start position.
The determining may include determining an initial start position according to a physical layer cell ID.
The mapping may include mapping symbols of a first group among four groups to resource elements starting with a position of K=K.sub.0, mapping symbols of a second group among the four groups to resource elements starting with a position of K=K.sub.0+.left brkt-bot.(N.sub.RB.sup.DL-1)N.sub.sc.sup.RB/4.right brkt-bot., mapping symbols of a third group among the four groups to resource elements starting with a position of k=k.sub.0+.left brkt-bot.2(N.sub.RB.sup.DL-1)N.sub.sc.sup.RB/4.right brkt-bot., and mapping symbols of a fourth group among the four groups to resource elements starting with a position of k=k.sub.0+.left brkt-bot.3(N.sub.RB.sup.DL-1)N.sub.sc.sup.RB/4.right brkt-bot.

The mapping may include mapping symbols in positions except for resource elements of reference signals in a first OFDM symbol.
In accordance with the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, a problem of wasting resource elements or not being able to implement mapping can be solved by applying a simple mapping rule while mapping symbols of a PCFICH.
The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the invention, illustrate embodiments of the invention and together with the description serve to explain the principle of the invention.
In the drawings
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. The detailed description is intended to explain exemplary embodiments of the present invention, rather than to show the only embodiments that can be implemented according to the invention.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a method applying different mapping rules according to N.sub.RB.sup.DL is proposed.
In a conventional mapping method, the above-described problems do not occur for N.sub.RB.sup.DL of an even number, so the conventional mapping method is used for N.sub.RB.sup.DL of an even number and the following mapping method is used for N.sub.RB.sup.DL of an odd number.
Hereinbelow, y(0), . . . , y(15) denotes 16 QPSK symbols, N.sub.RB.sup.DL denotes the number of resource blocks transmitted in downlink, and N.sub.sc.sup.RB denotes the number of resource elements per resource block.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, if N.sub.RB.sup.DL is an odd number, y(0), . . . , y(3) are mapped to resource elements starting with a position of k=k.sub.0, y(4), . . . , y(7) are mapped to resource elements starting with a position of k=k.sub.0+.left brkt-bot.(N.sub.RB.sup.DL-1)N.sub.sc.sup.RB/4.right brkt-bot., y(8), . . . , y(11) are mapped to resource elements starting with a position of k=k.sub.0+.left brkt-bot.2N.sub.RB.sup.DLN.sub.sc.sup.RB/4.right brkt-bot. or k=k.sub.0+.left brkt-bot.2(N.sub.RB.sup.DL-1)N.sub.sc.sup.RB/4.right brkt-bot., and y(12), . . . , y(15) are mapped to resource elements starting with a position of k=k.sub.0+.left brkt-bot.3(N.sub.RB.sup.DL-1)N.sub.sc.sup.RB/4.right brkt-bot.
A symbol index i for PCFICH mapping is initialized to 0 (step S310).
Next, a determination is made as to whether N.sub.RB.sup.DL is an odd number (step S320). If N.sub.RB.sup.DL is an odd number, positions of resource elements to map 4 symbols of a PCFICH are determined using N.sub.RB.sup.DL-1 and the 4 symbols are mapped to corresponding positions (step S330).
If N.sub.RB.sup.DL is an even number, positions of resource elements to map 4 symbols of a PCFICH are determined using N.sub.RB.sup.DL and the 4 symbols are mapped to corresponding positions (step S340).
If mapping is completed, the symbol index i is increased by 4 (step S350).
If the symbol index i is less than 16 (step S360), the above operations (steps S320 to S350) are repeated since symbols to be mapped remain.
Finally, if the symbol index i is equal to or greater than 16 (S360), a procedure is ended.
Meanwhile, another exemplary embodiment of the present invention proposes a single mapping method irrespective of whether N.sub.RB.sup.DL is an odd number or an even number.
That is, the following mapping rule using a single expression regardless of N.sub.RB.sup.DL can solve the conventional problems in mapping symbols for a PCFICH.
According to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, y(0), . . . , y(3) are mapped to resource elements starting with a position of k=k.sub.0, y(4), . . . , y(7) are mapped to resource elements starting with a position of k=k.sub.0+.left brkt-bot.N.sub.RB.sup.DL/2.right brkt-bot.N.sub.sc.sup.RB/2, y(8), . . . , y(11) are mapped to resource elements starting with a position of k=k.sub.0+.left brkt-bot.2N.sub.RB.sup.DL/2.right brkt-bot.N.sub.sc.sup.RB/2, and y(12), . . . , y(15) are mapped to resource elements starting with a position of k=k.sub.0+3N.sub.RB.sup.DL/2.right brkt-bot.N.sub.sc.sup.RB/2.
In the above method, k.sub.0 is determined according to N.sub.ID.sup.cell. If an index indicated by k.sub.0 collides with an index of a resource element using a reference signal, k.sub.0 may use an index increased by ‘1’.
First, a symbol index i for PCFICH mapping is initialized to 0 (step S410).
A start position of a resource element for PCFICH mapping is determined by flooring a value obtained by multiplying a variable I.sub.i proportional to the symbol index by N.sub.RB.sup.DL and then dividing the multiplied result by 2 (step S420). The variable may be, for example, I.sub.0=0, I.sub.4=1, I.sub.8=2, and I.sub.12=3.
If mapping is completed, the symbol index i is increased by 4 (step S450).
If the symbol index i is less than 16 (step S460), the above operations (steps S420 to 5450) are repeated since symbols to be mapped remain.
Finally, if the symbol index i is equal to or greater than 16 (S460), a procedure is ended.
The above mapping rule according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be modified as follows.
Namely, y(0), . . . , y(3) are mapped to resource elements starting with a position of k=k.sub.0, y(4), . . . , y(7) are mapped to resource elements starting with a position of k=k.sub.0+3.left brkt-bot.N.sub.RB.sup.DL/2.right brkt-bot.N.sub.sc.sup.RB/2, y(8), . . . , y(11) are mapped to resource elements starting with a position of k=k.sub.0+2.left brkt-bot.N.sub.RB.sup.DL/2.right brkt-bot.N.sub.sc.sup.RB/2, and (12), . . . , y(15) are mapped to resource elements starting with a position of k=k.sub.0+3.left brkt-bot.N.sub.RB.sup.DL/2.right brkt-bot.N.sub.sc.sup.RB/2.
In the first OFDM symbol (first line) through which a PCFICH is transmitted, since reference signals of respective antennas are transmitted, one REG is comprised of 6 resource elements. Since no reference signal exists in the second OFDM symbol (second line) when using 2 or less transmit antennas, one REG is comprised of 4 resource elements.
In the first OFDM symbol (first line) through which a PCFICH is transmitted, since reference signals of antennas are transmitted, one REG is comprised of 6 resource elements. When using 4 transmit antennas, since reference signals exist even in the second OFDM symbol (second line), one REG is comprised of 6 resource elements.
In FIG. 7 , a system band corresponds to 20 resource blocks. Different start positions are set for 10 cell IDs. Positions denoted by “1” indicate positions of k.sub.0 in the above-described mapping method. Accordingly, interference between cell IDs is reduced.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
The present invention provides a mapping method for frequency and OFDM symbol regions of a signal transmitted in downlink in a cellular OFDM wireless packet communication system and is applicable to a base station, a user equipment, etc. in a 3GPP LTE system.
