Definitions
- the present invention relates to a terminal switching when a base station switches a terminal to which a right for data transmission is switched in a communication system composed of a base station and a plurality of terminals when the terminals share radio resources for communication.
- the present invention relates to a method, a base station, and a communication system.
- retransmission control (ARQ: Automatic Repeat reQuest) is adopted as a method of correcting errors on the transmission path.
- ARQ Automatic Repeat reQuest
- Stop and Wait method which is one of the retransmission methods
- the base station receives data from the terminal, it performs error detection after demodulation and decoding, and if it determines that there is no error, an ACK is received.
- a NACK is returned to each terminal.
- the terminal transmits data, it waits for the return of ACK / NACK, transmits the next new data in the case of ACK reception (initial transmission), and retransmits the NACK data in the case of NACK reception. Yes (retransmission).
- the base station When the base station returns a NACK, the base station stores data corresponding to the NACK, and when the retransmission data is received, the base station combines the corresponding stored data and the retransmission data. By performing such synthesis, the signal reception level virtually increases, and the probability of receiving without error increases.
- a method for improving the error correction capability by combining in this way is called Hybrid ARQ (HARQ).
- the Stop and Wait method is inefficient in terms of use of a communication channel because there is a blank time (time during which transmission is not performed) from when a terminal transmits data until it receives ACK / NACK.
- Enhanced Uplink which is standardized by 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project)
- Enhanced Uplink aims to increase the efficiency of communication channel use by executing multiple Stop and Wait method HARQ processes in parallel.
- Such a method is generally called N-channel Stop and Wait.
- N of the N channel corresponds to the number of HARQ processes executed in parallel, and in Enhanced Uplink, it is 8 at 2ms TTI and 4 at 10ms TTI.
- TTI Transmission Time Interval
- TTI Transmission Time Interval
- E-DCH Enhanced Dedicated Channel
- E-DPDCH E-DCH Dedicated Physical Data Control Channel
- WCDMA Wideband Code Division Multiple Access
- a plurality of communication physical channels E-DPDCH are defined on a wireless line by preparing a plurality of spreading codes.
- WCDMA normally allows data transmission to a plurality of terminals at the same time, but there is a limit to the permission.
- the base station receives data from terminal A
- the data from terminals (terminal B and terminal C) other than terminal A that are transmitting at the same time become interference factors.
- the amount of interference increases. If the amount exceeds a certain value, sufficient quality for correctly receiving the data of terminal A cannot be maintained, and reception errors frequently occur.
- Non-Patent Document 1 a method is conceivable in which the transmission power of a certain terminal is set to zero, and thereby a vacant transmission power value is given to a new terminal.
- This method can also be said to be a method of switching terminals that give transmission permission with time. For example, it is described as “Time and Rate Scheduling” in Non-Patent Document 1 below.
- the base station when the base station grants the grant to the terminal B, the base station deletes the data returned from the NACK to the terminal A from the storage buffer. Therefore, even if terminal A once again grants Grant and performs retransmission, the HARQ combining effect cannot be obtained.
- the time from the transmission of a NACK to the reception of retransmission data is a fixed time. Therefore, when switching the terminal from which data transmission is permitted from terminal A to terminal B in consideration of HARQ, a retransmission waiting window corresponding to the fixed time is set from that time, and the expiration time (retransmission time) is set. It will wait for retransmission until the end of the waiting window.
- the initial start time at the time of switching the terminal is the predetermined time corresponding to the time when the terminal recognizes it and no new data arrives after sending the Zero Grant (a certain period of time after sending the Zero Grant After) can be set.
- the base station returns NACK again and again enters a retransmission waiting state.
- a retransmission waiting window is set, but the length of the retransmission waiting window is always a fixed time, and therefore, the retransmission waiting window is set even in a time zone where HARQ processing is completed and retransmission data should not arrive. Will be set. For this reason, there has been a problem that the switching time of a terminal that permits data transmission (time from transmission of Zero Grant to actual switching) becomes long.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above, and when switching a terminal to which transmission permission is granted in a system in which a plurality of HARQ processes operate simultaneously, the reception quality is maintained by completing the HARQ process for the terminal before switching.
- the present invention provides a communication system that performs HARQ processing between a base station and a terminal, and a terminal to which the base station grants transmission permission is one of the terminals.
- a terminal switching method for switching from a certain first terminal to a second terminal that is one of the terminals, a stop notification step for notifying the first terminal of suspension of transmission permission, and HARQ processing A virtual origin that monitors the status of HARQ processing with the first terminal for each HARQ process as a unit and sets the time when the HARQ process in which the status of HARQ processing is waiting for retransmission is performed as a virtual origin
- a retransmission step between a setting step, a window setting step for setting a retransmission waiting window having a predetermined window length starting from the virtual origin, and the first terminal A transmission permission step of notifying the second terminal of transmission permission when there is no HARQ process in the state, and until there is no HARQ process waiting for retransmission with the first terminal,
- the NACK is set in the previous retransmission waiting window. Since the latest HARQ process end time in the state is set as a virtual start point, and a predetermined fixed time from the virtual start point is set as a retransmission wait window, the reception quality is improved by completing the HARQ process for the terminal before switching. There is an effect that the switching time to the switching destination terminal can be shortened while maintaining.

- the retransmission waiting window (first time) period , Wait for retransmission.
- the terminal B is performed, but in the example of FIG. 1, even in the first retransmission waiting window, the data could not be received correctly in the previous time. It is assumed that the first two data (data corresponding to the two HARQ processes) among the data corresponding to the three HARQ processes cannot be correctly received and the third data is correctly received.
- the second retransmission waiting window is set starting from the end of the first retransmission waiting window. Since the length of the retransmission waiting window is fixed, the length of the second retransmission waiting window is also T2.
- the base station A transmission permission is transmitted to terminal B. In this way, switching to the terminal B is completed.
- terminal B is permitted to transmit until all data is received correctly (continuous circles in the figure) until the second retransmission waiting window ends. The time corresponding to the 2HARQ process is wasted without being transmitted.

- FIG. 7 shows a case where the threshold value is set to 3 as in FIG.
- the third retransmission waiting window is set at the starting point # 3
- it can be predicted that the point in time when the window expires is the last timing for allocating radio resources to the terminal A. Therefore, using this prediction, the timing of granting Grant to the terminal B can be made earlier than the example of FIG.
- the grant transmission time can be determined as follows. First, when Grant is transmitted to the terminal B at time ts, the arrival time tr of the data transmitted by the terminal B is estimated based on the Grant. This estimation is performed based on the result of transmission / reception so far between the terminal B and the base station. Then, when the third retransmission waiting window expiration time is predicted and tr exceeds the predicted time, Grant can be transmitted to terminal B at time ts corresponding to the tr. In other words, the Grant may be transmitted after the estimated time from when the Grant is transmitted to the terminal B to the estimated time until the first data arrives from the terminal B.
- the operations of the present embodiment other than those described above are the same as those of the first embodiment.
- a threshold is set for the number of retransmissions when the operation of the first embodiment is performed.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of retransmissions is performed when the operation of the second embodiment is performed.
- a threshold value may be provided for.
- the Grant transmission time may be advanced by predicting the retransmission waiting window expiration time as in the example of FIG.
- an upper limit is set for the number of retransmissions when waiting for retransmission in order to complete the HARQ process of the terminal before switching. Therefore, when the communication quality is extremely poor, it is possible to prevent a decrease in throughput due to the continued retransmission.
- an upper limit on the number of retransmissions it is possible to predict an upper limit time at which data is transmitted from the terminal A before switching. Therefore, the Grant transmission time can be obtained so that data transmission from the terminal after switching is started after the predicted time, and the Grant transmission time can be advanced compared to the case where the Grant is transmitted after the retransmission waiting window ends. it can.
- the terminal switching method, the base station, and the communication system according to the present invention are useful for a system that switches a terminal that grants data transmission rights, and in particular, switching after completing HARQ processing of the terminal before switching.

Abstract
Description
図1は、従来技術を用いた場合に生じる非効率的な再送ウィンドウ設定例を示す図である。図2は、本発明にかかる実施の形態1の端末切り替え方法を適用した場合の再送ウィンドウ設定例を示す図である。本実施の形態の通信システムは、基地局と複数の端末で構成され、基地局と端末間でHARQを実施する。また、本実施の形態の基地局は、データ送信を行う端末を切り替える制御を行うこととする。ここでは、無線リソースを割り当てていた(Grantを供与していた)端末にリソース開放を指示し(Zero Grant)、別の端末にリソースを与える(Grantを供与)ことによりデータ送信を許可する端末を切り替えることとする。
図5は、本発明にかかる実施の形態2の端末切り替え方法を示す図である。実施の形態1では、再送待ちウィンドウが満了した時を起点とし、起点で再送ウィンドウを設定していたが、本実施の形態では、NACKを送信する度に再送待ちウィンドウを更新する。
図6は、本発明にかかる実施の形態3の端末切り替え方法を示す図である。実施の形態1および実施の形態2では、必ず切り替え前の端末のHARQ処理を完了させてから、次の端末にGrantを送信する前提とした。しかし、切り替え前の端末と基地局の間の通信品質が極めて悪い場合、再送を数多く繰り返してもHARQが完了しないことも考えられる。また、特定の端末に関するHARQプロセスだけが再送待ち状態となりそのプロセスだけのために再送を数多く繰り返すことは、他の端末のHARQプロセスの空き状態が継続することとなり逆にシステムスループットの低下に繋がることがある。このような状況を避けるため、本実施の形態では、再送回数が所定のしきい値に達した時点で次の端末にGrantを与えるようにする。
