Definitions
- This invention relates to the field of wireless communication, and more specifically but not exclusively, to improve the link budget of a wireless system using fast hybrid automatic repeat request protocol.
- the receiving node typically needs to receive a minimum power level per tone of the transmitted information burst.
- a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) protocol allows retransmission of the information burst by the transmitting node and combining the received information bursts in the receiving node to effectively increase the received power per tone.
- the transmitting node can gain about 3 decibels (dB) with the same power per tone by retransmitting the original information burst. If the information burst is retransmitted 3 times, i.e., a total of 4 transmissions of the same information burst, the transmitting node can gain about 6 dB compared to a single transmission of the information burst.
- Figure IA illustrates a prior art timeline 100 of the communication exchanges between a base station and a mobile station operating in accordance with HARQ.
- the prior art timeline 100 shows five frames 102, 104, 106, 108, and 110.
- the base station sends a HARQ uplink Medium Access Protocol Information Element (HARQ UL MAP IE) 120 to the mobile station.
- the HARQ UL MAP IE 120 indicates to the mobile station to send particular information to the base station.
- the mobile station sends a HARQ UL transmission (HARQ UL TX) burst 122 of the particular information to the base station in response to the HARQ UL MAP IE 120.
- HARQ UL MAP IE HARQ uplink Medium Access Protocol Information Element
- the base station receives the HARQ UL TX burst 122 and processes it to check for any errors.
- the received HARQ UL TX burst 122 is assumed to have an error in this example and the base station sends another HARQ UL MAP IE 124 in frame x+3 108 to indicate to the mobile station to retransmit the particular information again.
- the mobile station After receiving the UL MAP 124, the mobile station sends a HARQ UL retransmission (HARQ UL reTX) burst 126 of the particular information to the base station in frame x+4 110.
- HARQ UL reTX HARQ UL reTX
- the time interval between HARQ UL TX burst 122 and HARQ UL reTX burst 126 is denoted as HARQ Round Trip Time (RTT) 132 and is assumed to be 3 frames for the purpose of illustration.
- the HARQ RTT is the minimum time between a transmission of a particular information burst and the retransmission of the particular information (or a new transmission of another information burst) in the same HARQ channel.
- Repetition coding is another technique that can increase reliability of the transmission. For example, a repetition coding scheme with a repetition factor of two, repeats two times for each bit that is to be transmitted and the number of slots required for transmission is doubled as shown in figure IB. If the transmitting node is limited by the total power that it can transmit, repetition coding does not help in increasing the reliability of the transmission. This is because the power per tone needs to be halved in order to transmit twice as many tones, assuming that the transmission requires the maximum total power when no repetition coding is used.

- SDD System Description Draft
- the protocol structure 300 has a network layer 310, a MAC layer 320, and a PHY layer 360.
- the protocol structure 300 is implemented in a base station 220 to improve the link budget of the wireless system 200 using fast HARQ.
- the MAC layer 320 has two sub layers: MAC common part sub layer 330 and the convergence sub layer 350.
- the convergence sub layer 350 classifies a packet according to classification rules, and maps the packet onto a particular transport connection. If the packet is associated with an ARQ connection, the ARQ block 340 logically splits the packet into ARQ blocks. After scheduling, the packet may be fragmented or packed by fragmentation/packing block 341 and a sub-header is added if necessary.
- the MAC Protocol Data Unit (PDU) formation block 342 may also encrypt the packet and the subheaders using encryption block 343 and adds a generic MAC header to form a MAC PDU Unit (MPDU).
- MPDU MAC Protocol Data Unit
- the MAC common part sub layer 330 has a Radio Resource Control and Management (RRCM) block 331 that adjusts radio network parameters based on the traffic load, and also performs load control or balancing, admission control and interference control.
- RRCM Radio Resource Control and Management
- the sleep mode management block 332 handles sleep mode operation and generates MAC signaling related to sleep operation.
- the Quality of Service (QoS) block 333 handles QoS management for each connection.
- the scheduling and resource multiplexing block 334 schedules and multiplexes packets based on the properties of the connections.
- the sleep mode management block 332 communicates with the scheduling and resource multiplexing block 334 to operate properly according to the sleep period.
- the MAC common part sub layer 330 also has a PHY control block 335 that includes a ranging module 336 and a link adaptation module 337.
- the PHY control block 335 handles the PHY signaling that includes, but is not limited to, ranging using ranging module 336, measurement and/or feedback of the communication link using channel quality information (CQI), HARQ acknowledgement (ACK) and negative ACK (NACK), and the like.
- CQI channel quality information
- ACK HARQ acknowledgement
- NACK negative ACK
- the PHY control module 335 determines whether the quality of a communication link with a station is bad based on an estimation of the quality of the communication link.
- the estimation of the quality of the communication link or the link condition is based on one or more factors that include, but are not limited to, CQI, HARQ ACK/NACKs, and the like.
- the link adaptation module 337 performs link adaptation by adjusting the modulation and coding scheme (MCS), and/or the power level.
- MCS modulation and coding scheme
- the link adaptation module 337 uses one or more factors that include, but are not limited to, the estimation of the quality of the communication link, the QoS required for a particular connection and the like, to select the MCS for the particular connection.
- the link adaptation module 337 may select a Quadrature Phase Shift Keying
- the link adaptation module (QPSK) modulation, rate 1 A and a repetition coding scheme of repetition factor 2 to be used by a mobile station 210 when the link condition is bad.
- the link adaptation module (QPSK) modulation, rate 1 A and a repetition coding scheme of repetition factor 2 to be used by a mobile station 210 when the link condition is bad.
- 337 may also select a higher repetition factor when the link condition deteriorates further.
- the link adaptation module 337 improves the link budget of the wireless system 200 by using fast HARQ protocol.
- the link adaptation module 337 detects that a repetition coding scheme is to be used by the mobile station 210, it sends a request to the control signaling module 338 to send an indication to the mobile station to transmit the same information in a number of consecutive frames, where no repetition coding is used in each transmission.
- the link adaptation module 337 sends a request to the control signaling module
- the link adaptation module 337 performs the functionality of the control signaling module 338 and signals to the mobile station 210 in each of a plurality of consecutive frames, the transmission of the same information.
- the link adaptation module 337 also detects a repetition factor of the repetition coding scheme in one embodiment of the invention.
- the link adaptation module 337 signals the mobile station 210 in each of a plurality of consecutive frames, where the plurality of consecutive frames is equal to the repetition factor. For example, in one embodiment, if the repetition factor to be set in the repetition coding scheme is four, the link adaptation module 337 sends a request to the control signaling module 338 to signal the mobile station to transmit the same information in four consecutive frames.
- the link adaptation module 337 does not need to detect or determine the repetition factor to be set in the repetition coding scheme.
- the link adaptation module 337 sets a fixed number of times for the mobile station to transmit the same information. For example, in one embodiment of the invention, when the link adaptation module 337 determines that the quality of the communication link is bad, it will always send a request to the control signaling module 338 to signal the mobile station 210 to transmit the same information in three consecutive frames.
- the control signaling module 338 indicates to the mobile station 210 by sending a HARQ UL MAP IE in each of a number of consecutive frames or communication intervals to the mobile station 210.
- the link adaptation module 337 indicates to the mobile station 210 to send the information without using the repetition coding scheme when it determines that the quality of the communication link is bad. By doing so, the base station can achieve higher link budget without the need to increase the amount of channels in order to use a repetition coding scheme. When the quality of the communication link is bad, it is likely that a retransmission of a particular burst is required by the mobile station 210 in order for the base station 220 to decode the particular burst correctly.
- the base station 220 uses a fast HARQ to indicate to the mobile station 210 to retransmit the same particular burst before the processing of the particular burst in one embodiment of the invention.
- the link adaptation module 337 is described herein to perform the logic for fast HARQ, it is not meant to be limiting. In another embodiment of the invention, the logic to perform fast HARQ can be performed by other blocks in the protocol structure 300.
- the protocol structure 300 of the node described in figure 3 is not meant to be limiting.
- One of ordinary skill in the relevant art will readily appreciate that other ways of separating the logical blocks in the protocol structure 300 can be used and these other ways can be applied without affecting the workings of the invention.
- one of ordinary skill in the relevant art will readily appreciate how to apply the logic of HARQ in other wireless communication protocols and these other wireless communication protocols can also be applied without affecting the workings of the invention.
- Figure 4 illustrates a timeline 400 of the communication exchanges between a base station 220 and a mobile station 210 in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
- the signaling protocol between the base station and the mobile station are assumed to be operable at least with the HARQ signaling protocol in one embodiment of the invention.
- the timeline 400 shows six frames 402, 404, 406, 408, 410 and 412.
- the base station 220 determines whether the quality of the communication link with the mobile station 210 is bad. For example, in one embodiment of the invention, the base station 220 detects if a repetition coding scheme is to be used in a transmission of a data burst from the mobile station 210. The use of the repetition coding scheme indicates to the base station 220 that the quality of the communication link with the mobile station 210 is bad. In another embodiment of the invention, the base station 220 estimates the quality of the communication link.
- the base station 220 is assumed to have detected that a repetition coding scheme is to be used by the mobile station and the repetition factor of the repetition coding scheme is set at two.
- the base station 220 sends a HARQ UL MAP IE 420 to the mobile station 210.
- the HARQ UL MAP IE 420 indicates to the mobile station 210 to send or transmit a particular information burst to the base station 220.
- the HARQ UL MAP IE 420 also indicates to the mobile station 210 to send the particular information burst without using the repetition coding scheme.
- the base station 220 sends a HARQ UL MAP IE 422 to the mobile station 210.
- the HARQ UL MAP IE 422 indicates to the mobile station 210 to send the same or identical particular information burst to the base station 220.
- the HARQ UL MAP IE 422 also indicates to the mobile station 210 to send the same particular information burst without using the repetition coding scheme.
- the base station 220 signals the mobile station 210 to send the same information burst in consecutive frames y 402 and y+l 404 without any processing of the received particular information.
- the base station 220 does not need to wait for the particular information to be received and processed before signaling the mobile station 210 to transmit the same particular information again. This allows the base station 220 to save time when more than one transmission is required before the particular information can be received or decoded successfully.
- the mobile station 210 sends a HARQ UL TX burst 424 of the particular information to the base station 220 in response to the received HARQ UL MAP IE 420. Similarly in frame y+2 406, the mobile station 210 sends a HARQ UL reTX burst 426 of the particular information to the base station 220 in response to the HARQ UL MAP IE 422. The mobile station 210 sends the TX bursts in another consecutive number of frames. When the HARQ UL TX burst 424 and the HARQ UL reTX burst 426 are received by the base station 220, the base station 220 processes the bursts to check for any errors.
- the base station 220 processes the bursts by combining the two bursts together and calculates the cyclic redundancy code (CRC) of the combined bursts to determine if the particular information burst is received correctly.
- CRC cyclic redundancy code
- the combination of the two bursts is performed in accordance with, but is not limited to, Chase combining scheme, incremental redundancy scheme and the like.
- Chase combining scheme incremental redundancy scheme and the like.
- the particular information burst is assumed to be received correctly and in frame y+4 410, the base station 220 is assumed to have determined that the quality of the communication link between the mobile station 210 and the base station 220 is good.
- the base station sends a HARQ UL MAP IE 428 to the mobile station 210 to send another particular information burst to the base station 220.
- the mobile station 210 sends a HARQ UL TX burst of the other particular information burst 430 after receiving the HARQ UL MAP IE 428 from the base station 220.
- the base station 220 does not send a retransmission request in frame y+4 410 as the base station 220, after combining the HARQ UL TX burst 424 and the HARQ UL reTX burst 426, determines that the calculated CRC of the combined bursts is not corrupted.
- the mobile station 210 uses the same HARQ channel to transmit the HARQ UL TX burst of the other particular information burst 430.
- the fast HARQ scheme applies to retransmission bursts as well. For example, in one embodiment of the invention, if the base station 220 determines that the CRC of the HARQ UL reTX burst 426 is corrupted, it can requests retransmission in consecutive frames y+5 412 and y+6 (not shown in figure 4) of the HARQ UL reTX burst 426.
- the base station 220 determines that the CRC of the HARQ UL reTX burst 426 is corrupted, it can requests retransmission in consecutive frames y+5 412 and y+6 (not shown in figure 4) of the HARQ UL reTX burst 426.
- the fast HARQ scheme in other scenarios of the HARQ protocol and it does not affect the workings of the invention.
- the base station 220 is illustrated as the node to use fast HARQ to improve the link budget of the wireless system 200, it is not meant to be limiting.
- the mobile station 210 can also use fast HARQ to improve the link budget of the wireless system 200 in another embodiment of the invention.
- fast HARQ can be applied to improve the link budget of the wireless system 200.
- the use of fast HARQ by the base station 220 improves the uplink link budget of the mobile station 210.
- the mobile station 210 has to transmit information to the base station 220 at high power per tone in order to achieve lower error rate. However, if the mobile station 220 has limited uplink or transmit power, the number of sub channels and slots that it can use is limited.
- the base station 220 indicates to the mobile station 210 to send identical information in each of a plurality of consecutive communication intervals without any processing of the identical information. The indication is sent by the base station 220 before the first transmission of the identical information is received by the base station 220. In this way, the mobile station 210 effectively increases the received power per tone in the base station 220.
- Figure 5 illustrates a flow chart 500 of the steps to improve the link budget of a wireless system 200 in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
- the steps in flow chart 500 are discussed with reference to a receiving node that is communicating with a transmitting node.
- the receiving node checks if the link condition between the transmitting node and the receiving node is bad. In another embodiment of the invention, the receiving node detects if a repetition coding scheme is to be used by the transmitting node to transmit information bursts. If no, the receiving node uses normal or conventional HARQ protocol to communicate with the transmitting node and the flow ends. If yes, the receiving node signals or indicates to the transmitting node to transmit the same particular information burst in X consecutive frames to the receiving node in step 520. In one embodiment of the invention, the number X is the repetition factor of the repetition coding scheme that is to be used by the transmitting node. In another embodiment of the invention, the number X is a pre-determined number.
- the number X is a variable number that is dependant on factors including, but not limited to, CQI, number of HARQ retransmissions, maximum latency requirements, and the like.
- the number X can be different for each new transmission or retransmission.
- step 530 the receiving node waits for a burst of the particular information from the transmitting node.
- step 540 the receiving node checks if a burst of the particular information is received. If no, the flow goes back to step 530 and continues to wait for a burst of the particular information from the transmitting node. If yes, the receiving node processes the burst of the particular information in step 550. In one embodiment of the invention, the receiving node processes or parses the burst by combining two or more received bursts of the particular information and calculates the CRC of the combined burst.
- the receiving node checks the CRC of the burst or combined bursts to check if there is any error in step 560. If there are no errors, the receiving node stops the signaling to the transmitting node if the receiving node has not completed signaling the transmitting node in X consecutive frames in optional step 565. The receiving node also discards burst(s) from the transmitting node if the particular information has been received and/or decoded successfully in optional step 565 and the flow ends.
- the receiving node checks if there are pending bursts from the transmitting node that has not been received in step 570. For example, in one embodiment of the invention, the receiving node checks if X bursts have been received to determine if there are pending bursts from the transmitting node that have not been received in step 570. If yes, the flow 500 goes back to step 530 and continues to wait for a burst of the particular information from the transmitting node. If no, the flow 500 goes back to step 520 and signals or indicates to the transmitting node to transmit the same particular information burst in X consecutive frames to the receiving node.
- the flow 500 has been discussed with reference to frames, it is not meant to be limiting. Other methods of dividing the communication intervals can also be applied without affecting the workings of the invention. In addition, the sequence of the steps in the flow 500 is not meant to be limiting and the sequence may also be interchanged without affecting the workings of the invention.
