Definitions
- the present invention relates to a terminal device and a retransmission control method.
- OFDMA Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access
- SCH Synchronization Channel
- BCH Broadcast Channel
- the terminal first secures synchronization with the base station by capturing the SCH. Thereafter, the terminal acquires parameters (eg, frequency bandwidth) unique to the base station by reading the BCH information (see Non-Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3).
- the terminal establishes communication with the base station by making a connection request to the base station after the acquisition of the parameters unique to the base station is completed.
- the base station transmits control information via a PDCCH (Physical ⁇ Downlink Control CHannel) as necessary to a terminal with which communication has been established.
- PDCCH Physical ⁇ Downlink Control CHannel
- the terminal performs “blind determination” for each of the plurality of control information included in the received PDCCH signal. That is, the control information includes a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) part, and this CRC part is masked by the terminal ID of the transmission target terminal in the base station. Therefore, the terminal cannot determine whether or not the received control information is control information destined for the own device until the CRC part of the received control information is demasked with the terminal ID of the own device. In this blind determination, if the CRC calculation is OK as a result of demasking, it is determined that the control information is addressed to the own device.
- CRC Cyclic Redundancy Check
- ARQ Automatic Repeat Request
- the terminal feeds back a response signal indicating an error detection result of downlink data to the base station.
- An uplink control channel such as PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) is used for feedback of this response signal (that is, ACK / NACK signal).
- PUCCH Physical Uplink Control Channel
- the control information transmitted from the base station includes resource allocation information including resource information allocated to the terminal by the base station.
- the PDCCH is used for transmitting the control information.
- This PDCCH is composed of one or a plurality of L1 / L2 CCHs (L1 / L2 Control Channel).
- Each L1 / L2CCH is composed of one or a plurality of CCEs (Control Channel Element). That is, CCE is a basic unit for mapping control information to PDCCH.
- one L1 / L2CCH is composed of a plurality of CCEs, a plurality of continuous CCEs are allocated to the L1 / L2CCH.
- the base station allocates L1 / L2 CCH to the resource allocation target terminal according to the number of CCEs required for reporting control information to the resource allocation target terminal. Then, the base station maps the physical resource corresponding to the CCE of this L1 / L2CCH and transmits control information.
- each CCE is associated with the PUCCH configuration resource on a one-to-one basis. Therefore, the terminal that has received the L1 / L2CCH specifies a PUCCH configuration resource corresponding to the CCE that configures the L1 / L2CCH, and transmits a response signal to the base station using this resource. Thus, downlink communication resources are efficiently used.
- a plurality of response signals transmitted from a plurality of terminals include a ZAC (Zero Auto-correlation) sequence having a Zero Auto-correlation characteristic on the time axis, a Walsh sequence, and a DFT ( Discrete Fourier Transform) sequence and code multiplexed in PUCCH.
- ZAC Zero Auto-correlation
- W 1 , W 2 , W 3 represents a Walsh sequence with a sequence length of 4
- (F 0 , F 1 , F 2 ) represents a DFT sequence with a sequence length of 3.
- an ACK or NACK response signal is first spread in a 1SC-FDMA symbol by a ZAC sequence (sequence length 12) on the frequency axis.
- the response signal after the first spreading is subjected to IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform) corresponding to W 0 to W 3 and F 0 to F 3, respectively.
- IFFT Inverse Fast Fourier Transform
- a response signal spread by a ZAC sequence having a sequence length of 12 on the frequency axis is converted into a ZAC sequence having a sequence length of 12 on the time axis by the IFFT.
- the signal after IFFT is further subjected to second order spreading using a Walsh sequence (sequence length 4) and a DFT sequence (sequence length 3).
- LTE-A system 3GPP LTE-advanced system
- LTE system 3GPP LTE system
- the bandwidth for the LTE-A system is changed to LTE. It is divided into “unit bands” of 20 MHz or less, which is the support bandwidth of the system. That is, the “unit band” is a band having a maximum width of 20 MHz, and is defined as a basic unit of the communication band. Furthermore, the “unit band” (hereinafter referred to as “downlink unit band”) in the downlink is a band delimited by downlink frequency band information in the BCH broadcast from the base station, or the downlink control channel (PDCCH) is a frequency.
- the “unit band” (hereinafter referred to as “downlink unit band”) in the downlink is a band delimited by downlink frequency band information in the BCH broadcast from the base station, or the downlink control channel (PDCCH) is a frequency.
- the “unit band” in the uplink is a band delimited by uplink frequency band information in the BCH broadcast from the base station, or a PUSCH (Physical-Uplink) near the center. It may be defined as a basic unit of a communication band of 20 MHz or less including a Shared (CHAnel) region and including PUCCH for LTE at both ends.
- the “unit band” may be expressed as “Component Carrier (s)” in English in 3GPP LTE-Advanced.
- the LTE-A system supports communication using a band obtained by bundling several unit bands, so-called Carrier Aggregation.
- Carrier Aggregation In general, an uplink throughput request and a downlink throughput request are different from each other. Therefore, in the LTE-A system, an arbitrary LTE-A system compatible terminal (hereinafter referred to as “LTE-A terminal”) is set.
- LTE-A terminal an arbitrary LTE-A system compatible terminal
- Carrier-aggregation the so-called Asymmetric carrier-aggregation, in which the number of unit bands to be transmitted differs between upstream and downstream, is also being studied. Furthermore, the case where the number of unit bands is asymmetric between upstream and downstream and the frequency bandwidth of each unit band is different is also supported.
- FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining an asymmetric carrier aggregation applied to individual terminals and its control sequence.
- FIG. 2 shows an example in which the uplink and downlink bandwidths and the number of unit bands of the base station are symmetric.
- terminal 1 is configured to perform carrier aggregation using two downlink unit bands and one uplink unit band on the left side. In spite of the setting that uses the same two downlink unit bands as those of the terminal 1, the setting that uses the right uplink unit band is performed in the uplink communication.
- Terminal 1 When attention is paid to the terminal 1, signals are transmitted and received between the LTE-A base station and the LTE-A terminal constituting the LTE-A system according to the sequence diagram shown in FIG. 2A.
- Terminal 1 synchronizes with the left downlink unit band at the start of communication with the base station, and sends information on the uplink unit band paired with the left downlink unit band to SIB2 Read from a notification signal called (System Information Block Type 2).
- SIB2 System Information Block Type 2
- the terminal 1 starts communication with the base station, for example, by transmitting a connection request to the base station.
- the base station instructs the terminal to add a downlink unit band.
- the number of uplink unit bands does not increase, and asymmetric carrier aggregation is started in terminal 1, which is an individual terminal.
- ACK / NACK Bundling a response signal transmission method in which a plurality of response signals for a plurality of data transmitted in a plurality of downlink unit bands are bundled together (bundling), a so-called ACK / NACK Bundling (hereinafter referred to as ACK / NACK Bundling) , Simply referred to as “Bundling”).
- Bundling a logical product (that is, Logical AND) of a plurality of ACK / NACK signals to be transmitted by the terminal is calculated, and the calculation result is fed back to the base station as a “bundle ACK / NACK signal (Bundled ACK / NACK signal)”. To do.
- ARQ is controlled as follows. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when a unit band group consisting of downlink unit bands 1 and 2 and uplink unit band 1 is set for terminal 1, each PDCCH of downlink unit bands 1 and 2 is assigned. After the downlink resource allocation information is transmitted from the base station to the terminal 1, the downlink data is transmitted using the resource corresponding to the downlink resource allocation information. Then, the ACK / NACK signal for the downlink data transmitted in the downlink unit band 1 may be transmitted on the PUCCH of the uplink unit band 1 corresponding to the downlink unit band 1 as in the conventional (LTE system). However, when the unit band group as shown in FIG.
- the uplink unit band included in the unit band group is only the uplink unit band 1, and thus transmitted in the downlink unit band 2 unlike the conventional case.
- An ACK / NACK signal for downlink data also needs to be transmitted on the uplink unit band 1 PUCCH.
- the terminal transmits only one ACK to the base station as a bundled ACK / NACK signal only when all of the plurality of downlink data transmitted to the terminal is successfully received.
- overhead in the uplink control channel can be reduced by transmitting only one NACK as a bundle ACK / NACK signal to the base station.
- the bundle is used among the PUCCH resources corresponding to the plurality of CCEs occupied by the plurality of received downlink control signals, for example, using the PUCCH resource having the smallest frequency and identification number (Index), the bundle is used.
- An ACK / NACK signal is transmitted.
- each terminal blindly determines the downlink allocation control signal addressed to itself in each subframe, the terminal side does not always succeed in receiving the downlink allocation control signal.
- the terminal fails to receive a downlink assignment control signal in a certain downlink unit band, the terminal cannot even know whether downlink data exists in the downlink unit band. Therefore, if reception of a downlink assignment control signal in a certain downlink unit band fails, the terminal does not generate a response signal for downlink data in the downlink unit band.
- This error case is defined as DTX (DTX (Discontinuous transmission) of ACK / NACK signals) of the response signal in the sense that the response signal is not transmitted on the terminal side.
- the DTX generated on the terminal side needs to be considered on the base station side. That is, the base station cannot predict in advance which downlink unit band will successfully receive the downlink allocation control signal in the downlink unit band, and as a result, which CCE is mapped to the CCE to which the downlink allocation control signal is mapped. I do not know whether the response signal is transmitted using the PUCCH resource. Therefore, on the base station side, all PUCCH resources corresponding to the CCE to which a plurality of downlink allocation control signals are mapped must be reserved for the response signal of the control target terminal.
- the downlink unit band 1 and the uplink unit band 1 are associated with each other to form a band pair, and the downlink unit band 2 and the uplink unit band 2 are associated with each other to form a band pair.
- a PUCCH corresponding to the downlink unit band 2 may be prepared only for the uplink unit band 2.
- the downlink unit band 2 and the uplink unit band 1 are associated with LTE-A-specific unit bands. As a result, it is necessary to secure a PUCCH resource for a response signal for the downlink unit band 2 even in the uplink unit band 1.
- the LTE-A system has a PUCCH overhead larger than that of the LTE system, and furthermore, the PUCCH overhead cannot be reduced even when Bundling is applied.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a terminal apparatus and a retransmission control method capable of reducing the overhead of an uplink control channel when ARQ is applied in communication using an uplink unit band and a plurality of downlink unit bands associated with the uplink unit band. Is to provide.

基地局100において、制御部101は、端末200毎に設定されている単位バンドグループにおける基本単位バンドに関する情報を保持している。制御部101は、端末200に対して下り回線データを送信する場合、当該端末200にとっての基本単位バンドを優先して使用する。すなわち、基地局100側で1つのデータ(Transpot block:TBとも呼ぶ)を端末200に送信する場合、制御部101は、当該端末200にとっての基本単位バンドにデータをマッピングする制御を行い、また、端末200に対して、基本単位バンド以外の下り単位バンドでデータの配置が無いことを通知するDAIビット情報を生成する。このDAIビットは、制御部101から、その他の制御情報と一緒に制御情報生成部102へ出力され、下り回線データと同一の下り単位バンドで送信される。また、基地局100側で2つ以上のデータを端末200に同時に送信する場合、制御部101は、一つのデータを必ず端末200の基本単位バンドにマッピングし、残りのデータは単位バンドグループ内の基本単位バンドを除く任意の下り単位バンドにマッピングする制御を行う。制御部101は、端末200に対して、基本単位バンド以外の下り単位バンドでデータの配置がある単位バンド数を通知するDAIビット情報を生成し、制御情報生成部102に出力する。このDAIビットは、基本単位バンドで送信される下り割当制御情報に含まれて端末200に通知される。
端末200では、報知信号受信部205が、端末200に通知された単位バンドグループを構成する上り単位バンドに関する情報を報知するBCHが送信される下り単位バンドを基本単位バンドとして特定する。
CRC部212は、受信に成功した下り割当制御情報に対応する下り回線データについて誤り検出を行い、誤り検出結果をBundling部213へ出力する。
実施の形態1では、基地局100から送信宛先端末200に対して一つの下り回線データ(TB)が送信される場合には、必ず当該送信宛先端末200にとっての基本単位バンドに下り回線データをマッピングするとしたが、実施の形態2では、基地局100が送信宛先端末200にとっての基本単位バンド以外にのみ下り回線データを配置することを許容した点、及び、基本単位バンド以外の下り単位バンドにおける下り割当制御情報の中に、基本単位バンドにも下り回線データが含まれているか否か(すなわち、基本単位バンドで端末200に対する下り割当制御情報が送信されたか否か)を示すビット(Anchor Assignment Indicator : AAI)が含まれる点において実施の形態1と相違する。すなわち、実施の形態2では、実施の形態1で説明した応答信号の送信制御方法が用いられる第1のモードと、任意の宛先端末に対する下り回線データが基本単位バンド以外の下り単位バンドにのみマッピングされる第2のモードとの間で、モードを切り替えることができる。これにより、実施の形態2では、実施の形態1と比べて、基地局の下り回線データのマッピングに関する自由度が向上する。
実施の形態2に係る基地局100の制御部101は、送信宛先端末200に対して下り回線データを送信する場合、当該送信宛先端末200にとっての基本単位バンドを使用するかそれ以外の下り単位バンドを使用するかを決定する。すなわち、制御部101は、上記した第1のモード又は第2のモードを選択する。
実施の形態2に係る端末200のBundling部213は、判定部208からDAI又はAAIを取得する。Bundling部213は、基本単位バンドにおける下り割当制御情報を受信した場合には、当該制御情報から抽出したDAIによって、端末200に設定された単位バンドグループにおいて、いくつの下り単位バンドに下り回線データが配置されているかを認識する。一方、Bundling部213は、基本単位バンドにおける下り割当制御情報を受信に失敗し、且つ、基本単位バンド以外の下り単位バンドにおいて下り割当制御情報を受信した場合には、当該制御情報から抽出したAAIによって、基本単位バンドに下り回線データが配置されているか否かを認識する。なお、AAIを受信する処理は、DAIを受信する処理と共通する。
実施の形態1、2では、端末が基地局に対して下り回線データに対する応答信号のみを送信する場合について説明した。しかしながら、端末が応答信号を送信する同一サブフレームにおいて、基地局が端末に対して上り回線データの送信を指示することもありうる。実施の形態3は、端末が応答信号を送信すべきサブフレームで、端末が基地局から上り回線データも送信するように指示を受ける点において、実施の形態1、2と相違する。
図9は、本発明の実施の形態3に係る基地局300の構成を示すブロック図である。図9において、基地局300は、制御部301と、制御情報生成部302と、マッピング部309と、PUCCH/PUSCH分離部320と、IDFT部321と、復調/復号部322とを有する。
図10は、本発明の実施の形態3に係る端末400の構成を示すブロック図である。図10において、端末400は、判定部408と、制御部409と、上り制御チャンネル生成部424と、符号化/変調部425と、DFT部426と、PUCCH/PUSCH多重部427と、CP付加部428とを有する。
以上の構成を有する基地局300及び端末400の動作について説明する。図11は、基地局300及び端末400の動作説明に供する図である。
基地局300において、制御部301は、端末400毎に設定されている単位バンドグループにおける基本単位バンドに関する情報を保持している。制御部301は、端末400に対して下り回線データを送信する場合、当該端末400にとっての基本単位バンドを優先して使用する。すなわち、基地局300側で1つのデータ(Transpot block:TBとも呼ぶ)を端末400に送信する場合、制御部301は、当該端末400にとっての基本単位バンドにデータをマッピングする制御を行い、また、端末400に対して、基本単位バンド以外の下り単位バンドでデータの配置が無いことを通知するDAIビット情報を生成する。このDAIビットは、制御部301から、その他の制御情報と一緒に制御情報生成部302へ出力され、下り回線データと同一の下り単位バンドで送信される。また、基地局300側で2つ以上のデータを端末400に同時に送信する場合、制御部301は、一つのデータを必ず端末400の基本単位バンドにマッピングし、残りのデータは単位バンドグループ内の基本単位バンドを除く任意の下り単位バンドにマッピングする制御を行う。制御部301は、端末400に対して、基本単位バンド以外の下り単位バンドでデータの配置がある単位バンド数を通知するDAIビット情報を生成し、制御情報生成部302に出力する。このDAIビットは、基本単位バンドで送信される下り割当制御情報に含まれて端末400に通知される。
端末400では、報知信号受信部205が、端末400に通知された単位バンドグループを構成する上り単位バンドに関する情報を報知するBCHが送信される下り単位バンドを基本単位バンドとして特定する。
CRC部212は、受信に成功した下り割当制御情報に対応する下り回線データについて誤り検出を行い、誤り検出結果をBundling部213へ出力する。
(1)上記各実施の形態では、端末に対して構成された非対称Carrier aggregationにおける単位バンドグループの中に、上り単位バンドが一つだけ含まれる場合について説明した。しかしながら、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、単位バンドグループの中に複数の上り単位バンドが含まれていても良い。この場合、基地局から端末に対していずれの上り単位バンドを用いて上り応答信号を送信すべきが指示される。そして、或る端末にとっての単位バンドグループの中に、複数の上り単位バンドが含まれる場合であっても、基地局から上り応答信号送信に用いるように指示された上り単位バンドの情報を報知するBCHを送信する下り単位バンドを、当該或る端末にとっての基本単位バンドとすれば、実施の形態1及び2と同様の効果を得ることができる。
