Abstract

Data of a transport block set is to be transmitted in a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system (figure 5) uses adaptive modulation and coding (34) and has a physical layer hybrid automatic repeat request mechanism (40). Segmentation information for potential segmentation of the transport block set is provided (46). The transport block set is transmitted with a first specified modulation and coding scheme. The transport bock set is received (38) and whether the received transport block set is determined to meet a specified quality. When the specified quality is not met, a repeat request (40) is transmitted. The first specified modulation and coding set is changed to a second specified modulation and coding set. In response to the repeat request, the transmit block set is segmented into a plurality of segments (48) supported by the second specified modulation and coding set (34) in accordance with the provided segmentation information. The segments are transmitted and at least two of the segments are transmitted separately. The transmitted segments are received (38). The segmentation process may be applied more than once for a particular TBS transmission.

Description

[0001] TRANSPORT BLOCK SET SEGMENTATION
[0002] BACKGROUND
[0003] This invention generally relates to wireless communication systems. In particular, the invention relates to transmission of data in such systems where
adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) and hybrid automatic repeat request (H-
ARQ) techniques are applied.
[0004]In wireless communication systems, such as the third generation partnership project (3GPP) time division duplex (TDD) or frequency division duplex (FDD) communication systems using code division multiple access (CDMA) or orthogonal
frequency division multiplex (OFDM) systems, AMC is used to optimize the use of
air resources.
[0005] The modulation and coding schemes (sets) used to transmit data are varied based on wireless channel conditions. To illustrate, a type of data encoding
(such as turbo versus convolutional coding), coding rate, spreading factor for CDMA
system, modulation type (such as quadrature phase shift keying M-ary phase shift
keying versus M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation), and/or a number of sub- carriers for an OFDM system may change. If channel characteristics improve, a lower data redundancy and/or "less robust" modulation and coding set is used to
transfer data. As a result, for a given allocation of radio resources, more user data is
transferred resulting in a higher effective data rate. Conversely, if channel characteristics degrade, a higher data redundancy and/or "more robust" modulation and coding set is used, transferring less user data. Using AMC, an optimization between air resource utilization and quality of service (QOS) can be better
maintained.
[0006] Data in such systems is received for transfer over the air interface in
transmission time intervals (TTIs). Data within a TTI transferred to a particular
user equipment is referred to as a transport block set (TBS). For a particular allocation of air resources, a less robust modulation and coding set allows for larger
TBS sizes and a more robust modulation and coding set only allows for smaller TBS sizes. As a result, the modulation and coding set for a given radio resource
allocation dictates the maximum size of the TBS that can be supported in a given TTI.
[0007] In such systems, a hybrid automatic repeat (H-ARQ) request
mechanism may be used to maintain QOS and improve radio resource efficiency. A system using H-ARQ is shown in Figure 1. A transmitter 20 transmits a TBS over
the air interface using a particular modulation and coding set. The TBS is received by a receiver 26. A H-ARQ decoder 30 decodes the received TBS. If the quality of
the received data is unacceptable, an ARQ transmitter 28 requests a retransmission of the TBS. One approach to check the quality of the received TBS is a cyclic
redundancy check (CRC). An ARQ receiver 22 receives the request and a
retransmission of the TBS is made by the transmitter 20. To increase the probability of successful delivery, retransmissions may apply a more robust modulation and coding set. The H-ARQ decoder 30 combines, the received TBS versions. A requirement for combining is that combinedTBS sizes are identical. If the resulting quality is still insufficient, another retransmission is requested. If the
resulting quality is sufficient, such that the combined TBS passes the CRC check,
the received TBS is released for further processing. The H-ARQ mechanism allows
for data received with unacceptable quality to be retransmittedpossibly at a more robust MCS to ensure successful delivery and maintain the desired QOS. [0008] Another approach is to retransmit the TBS using the old modulation
and coding set. However, if the channel conditions dictate that a more robust modulation and coding set be used or the initial transmission was severally
corrupted, the combining of the retransmitted TBSs may never pass, resulting in a transmission failure.
[0009] In a system using both H-ARQ andAMC, a change in modulation and
coding set may be determined necessary to achieve successful dehvery of a requested TBS retransmission. In this situation, the maximum amount of physical data bits
allowed within the TTI varies with the modulation and coding set. [0010] Since only one TBS exists per TTI, the effective user data rate
corresponds to the TBS size applied to each TTI. To achieve maximum data rates
the largest TBS size is applied to the least robust modulation and coding set within
the TTI. When wireless channel conditions require more a robust modulation and coding set for successful transmission, such a TBS size can not be supported within the TTI. Therefore, each time a more robust modulation and coding requirement is realized, all outstanding transmissions in H-ARQ processes with TBS sizes not supported by this MCS and have not been successfully acknowledged are discarded. [001 l]In current implementations, when a TBS can not be successfully transmitted utilizing AMC and H-ARQ mechanisms, recovery is handled by the radio hnk control (RLC) protocol (at layer two). Unlike a H-ARQ recovery of failed transmissions, the RLC error detection, data recovery and buffering of a TBS queued in the node-B results in increased transport channel block error rates and transmission latency, potentially resulting in a failure to meet QOS requirements. [0012] Accordingly, it is desirable to have alternate approaches to recover unsuccessful transmissions in such systems to allow for support of high data rates when AMC and H-ARQ techniques are applied.
[0013] SUMMARY
[0014] Data of a transport block set is to be transmitted in a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system uses adaptive modulation and coding and has a hybrid automatic repeat request mechanism. Segmentation information for potential segmentation of the transport block set is provided. The transport block set is transmitted with a first specified modulation and coding scheme. The transport bock set is received and the received transport block set is determined to meet a specified quality. When the specified quahty is not met, a repeat request is transmitted. The first specified modulation and coding set is changed to a second specified modulation and coding set. In response to the repeat request, the transmit block set is segmented into a plurality of segments
supported by the second specific modulation and coding set in accordance with the
provided segmentation information. The segments are transmitted and at least two of the segments are transmitted separately. The transmitted segments are received. The segmentation process may be applied more than one for a particular TBS
transmission.

[0022] Figure 5 is an embodiment of a segmented TBS wireless communication system.
[0023] Figure 6 is a flow chart of segmenting a TBS.
[0024] Figure 7 is an illustration of segmenting a TBS into three segments. [0025] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT(S) [0026] Transport block set segmentation can be used in a variety of wireless communication systems, such as FDD/CDMA, TDD/CDMA and OFDM communication systems.
[0027] To support high data rates, large TBS sizes are applied to each TTI. To allow for retransmission of large TBS sizes , at more robust modulation and coding sets to ensure successful delivery, segmentation information is provided with the TBS transmission. Figure 2 illustrates a TBS with segmentation information (SI) in a TTI. The data within the illustrated TBS is segmented into multiple segments, segment 1 to segment N. Each segment is sized to have a data size that can be supported by a more robust modulation and coding set. Segmentation information (SI) is multiplexed with the TBS data. Although the segmentation information is shown as a header in Figure 2, the segmentation information may be located anywhere within the structure of the TBS transmission (inband). The segmentation information can be used for segmentation of the TBS. [0028] Alternatively, Figure 3A illustrates using control signaling to send segmentation information. The control signal is sent on a separate channel (outof- band) from the segment data, segment 1 to segment N, (inband). The segmentation information indicates the manner that the TBS was segmented for use in reconstructing the original TBS in the receiver. [0029] Figure 3B illustrates using a segmentation identifier (SID) as inband segmentation information. Each segment, segment 1 to segment N, has a corresponding segment identifier, SID 1 to SID 2, multiplexed with that segment's
data (in-band). Figure 3C illustrates using a SID as out-of-band segmentation
information.
[0030] Figure 4 illustrates a preferred segmentation identifier for a segmented
TBS. The medium access controller (MAC) assigns a transmission sequence number
(TSN) to each potential segment. If the TBS is segmented, each segment's data is
associated with that segment's TSN. As shown in Figure 4, each segment has its
own TSN, TSN 1 to TSN N. In a wireless communication system employing HARQ, TSNs are assigned to each TBS to allow for sequential processing. Using the TSN as a segment identifier, reduces modifications required and minimizes additional
complexity of the system to accommodate segmentation.
[0031] Figure 5 is a simplified diagram of a transmitter 44 and a receiver 46
for retransmitting a TBS in segments. The transmitter 44 may be located at either a user equipment or a base station/node-B. The receiver 46 may be located at either a base station/node-B or a user equipment. In current system implementations,
AMC is typically only used in the downlink. Accordingly, the preferred implementation of transport block segmentation is for use in the supporting AMC
for the downlink. For other systems using AMC in the uplink, transport block segmentation can be applied to the uplink. [0032] A transmitter 30 transmits a TBS over the air interface 36. A receiver
38 receives the transmitted TBS. A H-ARQ decoder 42 decodes each received TBS.
If the TBS fails the quality test, a request for retransmission is made by the ARQ
transmitter 40. An ARQ receiver 32 receives the request and directs the TBS to be retransmitted. The retransmitted TBS is combined by the H-ARQ decoder 42 and another quality test is performed. Once the TBS passes the quality test, it is
released for further processing.
[0033] An AMC controller 34 is also shown in Figure 5. If the channel
conditions change, the AMC controller may initiate a change in the modulation and
code set used to transfer data. Figure 6 is a flow diagram illustrating such a change occurring in AMC between H-ARQ retransmissions. A transmitted TBS fails the
quality test and a retransmission is requested, (step 50). To illustrate using Figure
7, a TBS is transmitted and the received transmission fails the quality test, as
indicated by a "X". It is determined that a change to a more robust modulation and coding set is required for successful transmission, (step 52). Since a more robust modulation and coding set is needed, retransmission of the same size TBS may not
be possible. The H-ARQ process is reset and the TBS is segmented using the TBS
segmentation device 46, (step 54). Typically, with physical layer segmentation,
resetting the H-ARQ process is not necessary for proper operation. Each segment or subset of segments of the original TBS is at a size compatible with the new modulation and coding set. To illustrate using Figure 7, the original TBS is segmented into three segments, SEGl, SEG2 and SEG3. The segments are retransmitted at the more robust modulation and coding set, (step 56). [0034] Each segment or subset of segments is individually transmitted using the new modulation and coding set. As illustrated in Figure 7, SEGl, SEG2 and SEG3 are separately transmitted and received. It is also possible depending on the choice of modulation and coding that any subset may be separately transmitted and received (SEGl & SEG3, or SEG2 &SEG3, etc.). If a transmission of a segment or subset of segments fails, the ARQ transmitter 40 requests a retransmission of that segment or subset of segments. The transmission of the segment or subset of segments and the retransmission(s) are combined until the segment or subset of segments passes the quality test.
[0035] To reduce the added overhead required by the segmentation information, preferably, the node-B selectively dictates when the segmentation option is to be utilized. To illustrate, if channel conditions are degrading or are predicted to degrade, the segmentation option may be utilized. This determination may be based on channel quality measurements, previous transmission success/failure rates for particular modulation and coding sets, or other criteria. A segmentation controller 48, preferably in the node-B, as shown in Figure 5, decides whether segmentation is to be supported. The segmentation controllercoordinates operation with the MAC to add the segmentation information to the TBS. The segmentation decision may be based on various factors, such as cell loading, added users, number of prior retransmissions and measured channel quality.
