Description

用于在载波聚合系统中的上行次分量栽波上传输探测参考信号的方法和设备 技术领域
[01] 本发明涉及移动通信领域, 特别涉及一种用于在载波聚合系统中的上行 次分量载波上传输探测参考信号的方法和设备。 背景技术
[02] 随着由第三代合作伙伴计划 ( 3rd Generation Partnership Project , 3GPP ) 启动的通用移动通信系统 ( Universal Mobile Telecommunications System , UMTS )技术长期演进 ( Long Term Evolution, LTE )项目的冻结, 3GPP组织 已经开始了对第四代移动通信系统高级长期演进 (LTE-Advanced, LTE-A)技术 的研究。 为了满足国际电信联盟( International Telecommunication Union, ITU ) 提出的针对 4G系统的下行 lGbps、 上行 500Mbps的高数据速率要求, 3GPP 在 LTE-A 中提出了载波聚合技术以支持能够提供该速率要求的带宽值。 载波 聚合技术可以把不同频段的多个载波聚合起来组成最大 100M 的带宽, 使 LTE-A的用户设备 ( User Equipment, UE ) 可以在多个载波上接收和 /或发送 数据, 从而使发送或接收数据的带宽大于 20M。 在载波聚合技术中, 每个聚 合的载波称为一个分量载波(component carrier, CC )。 为了便于分量载波的 管理, 进一步将其分为主分量载波 (Primary CC, PCC)和次分量载波 (Secondary CC, SCC)。 对不同的用户设备, 其 PCC和 SCC可以不同, 但每个用户设备 只有一个 PCC。
[03] 上行分量载波中信号的传输包括上行共享信道的传输、 上行控制信道的 传输以及上行周期性探测参考信号 (Periodic Sounding Reference Signal, 以下筒 称为 pSRS)的传输。针对载波聚合系统中上行分量载波的传输已经得出了以下 结论:
[04] 对于上行共享信道, 不需要显式的激活信令, 即用户设备收到相应的来 自物理下行控制信道 (PDCCH)的调度信息后即可激活上行共享信道的传输;
[05] 对于上行控制信道, 其传输只可能发生在 PCC上, 即在 SCC上不会传输 上行控制信道。
[06] 对于周期性探测信号的传输, 目前还没有得出任何结论。 但是, PCC 上 的 pSRS传输过程将与 LTE系统的 pSRS过程相同, 即按照配置的时间间隔周 期性地传输。 而对于 SCC上的 pSRS传输, 目前有两种观点:
[07] 观点 1 : 一旦为用户设备配置了 SCC, 其上的 pSRS传输过程将与 LTE 系统的传输过程相同。
[08] 观点 2: 在某些情况下, 为了节省用户设备的功率和减少对其它用户设备 造成的干扰, 将停止 SCC上的 pSRS传输。 例如, 当用户设备的上行业务量 很小, 基站在一段时间内将不会调度在某一个 SCC上的数据传输, 此时传输 pSRS是没有必要的, 因此在这段时间内可以停止 pSRS的传输。
[09] 可以看出, 上述观点 2更加合理。 但是其存在一个问题:
[10] 按照 LTE的 pSRS配置方法, 当为用户设备配置一个 SCC时, 其 pSRS 资源也会同时被配置。如果在一段时间内用户设备停止了在该 SCC上的 pSRS 的传输, 那么这些用于 pSRS传输的资源就会被浪费。 在 LTE-A系统中, 由于 引入了上行多用户 MIMO技术,需要更多的 SRS资源来支持多个天线上的 SRS 传输。 目前, 很多公司已经提出了增加 SRS 容量的方法。 因此, 这种 pSRS 资源的浪费更加需要避免。
[11] 为了解决上述在上行 SCC上可能出现的 pSRS资源浪费的问题, 提出了 本发明。 发明内容
[12] 在下文中给出了关于本发明的筒要概述, 以便提供关于本发明的某些方 面的基本理解。 但是, 应当理解, 这个概述并不是关于本发明的穷举性概述。 它并不是意图用来确定本发明的关键性部分或重要部分,也不是意图用来限定 本发明的范围。其目的仅仅是以筒化的形式给出关于本发明的某些概念, 以此 作为稍后给出的更详细描述的前序。

[31] 在下文中将结合附图对本发明的示范性实施例进行描述。 为了清楚和筒 明起见, 在说明书中并未描述实际实施方式的所有特征。 然而, 应该了解, 在 开发任何这种实际实施例的过程中必须做出很多特定于实施方式的决定,以便 实现开发人员的具体目标, 例如, 符合与系统及业务相关的那些限制条件, 并 且这些限制条件可能会随着实施方式的不同而有所改变。 此外, 还应该了解, 虽然开发工作有可能是非常复杂和费时的,但对得益于本公开内容的本领域技 术人员来说, 这种开发工作仅仅是例行的任务。
[32] 在此, 还需要说明的一点是, 为了避免因不必要的细节而模糊了本发明, 在附图中仅仅示出了与根据本发明的方案密切相关的装置结构和 /或处理步 骤, 而省略了与本发明关系不大的其它细节。
[33] 下面参照附图详细描述根据本发明实施例的用于在载波聚合系统中的上 行次分量载波上传输探测参考信号的方法和设备。
[34] 图 1 是示出根据本发明实施例的用于在载波聚合系统中的上行次分量载 波上传输周期性探测参考信号的方法的流程图。
[35] 如图 1所示, 首先, 在步骤 S110, 为用户设备配置上行次分量载波。
[36] 根据本发明的实施例, 基站在为用户设备配置上行 SCC时, 并不同时配 置其 pSRS资源, 而是在随后的过程中, 根据某一事件当基站决定触发用户设 备在其某一个已配置的上行 SCC上的 pSRS的传输时才会通过信令来为所述 用户设备在所述上行 SCC上配置 pSRS资源。 [37] 下一步, 在步骤 S120, 确定是否接收到激活触发事件, 所述激活触发事 件用于激活用户设备在配置的上行次分量载波上传输周期性探测参考信号。
[38] 例如, 当用户设备报告的緩存长度超过某一个预定义的门限值时, 为了 能在上行 SCC上进行数据调度,基站可以激活所述上行 SCC上的 pSRS传输; 当用户设备报告的緩存长度低于某一个预定义的门限值,基站决定停止在所述 上行 SCC上为所述用户设备调度数据, 那么基站可以去激活所述上行 SCC上 的 pSRS传输。 再例如, 当基站激活了用户设备的某个下行 SCC后, 基站可 以同时激活与所述下行 SCC具有链接关系的上行 SCC的 pSRS传输; 当基站 去激活了用户设备的某个下行 SCC后, 基站可以同时去激活与所述下行 SCC 具有链接关系的上行 SCC的 pSRS传输。
[39] 下一步, 在步骤 S130, 如果在步骤 S120确定接收到激活触发事件, 则为 用户设备配置在配置的上行次分量载波上传输周期性探测参考信号所需的物 理资源参数。
[40] 根据本发明的实施例, 为用户设备配置上行次分量载波和为用户设备配 置在配置的上行次分量载波上传输周期性探测参考信号所需的物理资源参数 是分开进行的。 这样一来, 就可以避免用户设备在某个上行 SCC上不进行周 期性探测参考信号传输时对其物理资源的浪费,从而提高系统的探测参考信号 资源利用效率, 使得系统能够支持更多的用户。
[41] 最后, 在步骤 S140, 将包含为用户设备配置的物理资源参数的信息传输 到用户设备,以激活用户设备在配置的上行次分量载波上传输周期性探测参考 信号。
[42] 根据本发明的实施例, 对于周期性探测参考信号的去激活, 包括但不限 于以下三种方案。
[43] 第一种方案是, 确定是否接收到去激活触发事件, 所述去激活触发事件 用于去激活用户设备在配置的上行次分量载波上传输周期性探测参考信号;以 及如果接收到去激活触发事件,则将指示释放周期性探测参考信号的资源的信 息发送到用户设备, 以释放周期性探测参考信号的资源。
[44] 第二种方案是, 为配置的上行次分量载波设置去激活计时器; 以及当去 激活计时器超时后, 释放周期性探测参考信号的资源。
[45] 第三种方案是, 为与配置的上行次分量载波具有链接关系的下行次分量 载波设置去激活计时器; 以及当去激活计时器超时后,释放周期性探测参考信 号的资源。
[46] 为了进一步描述本发明, 下面结合具体的实施例来描述本发明的用于在 载波聚合系统中的上行次分量载波上传输周期性探测参考信号的方法。
第一实施例
[47] 根据本发明的第一实施例的用于在载波聚合系统中的上行次分量载波上 传输周期性探测参考信号的方法是一种一步管理方法,即只通过无线资源控制
(Radio Resource Control, RRC)信令配置, 其具体步骤如下。
[48] 首先, 当基站为用户设备配置一个上行 SCC时, 其 pSRS的初始状态设 为 "release" , 即不为所述用户设备在所述上行 SCC上配置任何 pSRS相关的 资源。
[49] 其次,基站根据某些事件来激活或者去激活用户设备在上行 SCC的 pSRS 传输。在上文中已提到了一些激活触发事件和去激活触发事件的例子,在此不 再赘述。
[50] 然后, 根据触发事件, 如果基站决定激活用户设备在某一个已配置的上 行 SCC上传输 pSRS时,基站通过 RRC信令为所述用户设备在所述上行 SCC 上配置 pSRS传输所需的参数,同时激活所述 pSRS的传输。其传输过程与 LTE 系统中的传输过程相同。
[51] 在本实施例中, 在接收到激活触发事件之后, 在为用户设备配置在配置 的上行次分量载波上传输周期性探测参考信号所需的物理资源参数的同时,根 据本发明的方法还为用户设备配置用于在配置的上行次分量载波上传输周期 性探测参考信号的其它参数, 并且通过 RRC信令将包含为用户设备配置的物 理资源参数和其它参数的信息传输到用户设备,以激活用户设备在配置的上行 次分量载波上传输周期性探测参考信号。
[52] 最后, 对于 SRS的去激活, 在本实施例中的三种方案具体实施如下。
[53] 在第一种方案中, 根据触发事件, 如果基站决定去激活用户设备在某一 个已配置的上行 SCC上传输 pSRS时, 基站通过 RRC信令将 pSRS的状态设 为 "release"。
[54] 在第二种方案中, 基站和用户设备为每一个配置的上行 SCC共同维持一 个 pSRS去激活计时器。 当接收到对上行 SCC的调度信令后, 重启所述上行 SCC 的 pSRS 去激活计时器。 当该计时器超时后, 用户设备停止在所述上行 SCC上的 pSRS的传输,同时基站和用户设备释放所述上行 SCC的 pSRS资源。
[55] 在第三种方案中, 当用户设备的某一个下行 SCC因为其去激活计时器超 时而被去激活时, 用户设备同时停止与该下行 SCC具有链接关系的上行 SCC 的 pSRS传输, 基站和用户设备释放所述上行 SCC的 pSRS资源。
第二实施例
[56] 根据本发明的第二实施例的用于在载波聚合系统中的上行次分量载波上 传输周期性探测参考信号的方法是一种两步管理方法, 即 RRC 配置加上 PDCCH激活 /去激活, 其具体步骤如下。
[57] 首先, 当基站为用户设备配置一个上行 SCC时, 其 pSRS的初始状态设 为 "setup" , 但是此时只为用户设备配置一个 pSRS参数, 即 srs-ConfigIndex。 该参数的作用是确定 pSRS传输的周期及在每帧中的偏移值。
[58] 在本实施例中, 在为用户设备配置上行次分量载波时, 根据本发明的方 法进一步为用户设备配置用于在配置的上行次分量载波上传输周期性探测参 考信号的其它参数, 所述其它参数是除了物理资源参数之外的参数 (例如 srs-Configlndex ), 并且通过 RRC信令将包含为用户设备配置的其它参数的信 息传输到用户设备。
[59] 其次,基站根据某些事件来激活或者去激活用户设备在上行 SCC的 pSRS 传输。
[60] 然后, 根据触发事件, 如果基站决定激活用户设备在某一个已配置的上 行 SCC上传输 pSRS时, 基站通过 PDCCH信令为所述用户设备在所述上行 SCC上配置 pSRS传输所需的物理资源。 所述的 PDCCH信令中至少需要包括 以下的参数: srs-Bandwidth, srs-HoppingBandwidth, freqDomainPosition, transmissionComb, cyclicShift。用户设备收到该 PDCCH信令后,激活所述 pSRS 的传输。 其传输过程与 LTE系统中的传输过程相同。
[61] 在根据本实施例的方法中, 将包含为用户设备配置的物理资源参数的信 息传输到用户设备的步骤是通过 PDCCH信令执行的。
[62] 最后, 对于 SRS的去激活, 在本实施例中的三种方案具体实施如下。 [63] 在第一种方案中, 根据触发事件, 如果基站决定去激活用户设备在某一 个已配置的上行 SCC上传输 pSRS时,基站通过 PDCCH信令去激活所述用户 设备在所述上行 SCC上的 pSRS传输, 同时基站和所述用户设备释放所述上 行 SCC的 pSRS资源。
[64] 在第二和第三种方案中, 本实施例的 SRS去激活方式与第一实施例中的 第二和第三种方案相同, 在此不再赘述。
[65] 下面进一步结合附图来描述根据本发明实施例的用于在载波聚合系统中 的上行次分量载波上传输非周期性探测参考信号的方法。
[66] 图 2是示出根据本发明实施例的用于在载波聚合系统中的上行次分量载 波上传输非周期性探测参考信号的方法的流程图。
[67] 如图 2所示, 首先, 在步骤 S210, 确定第一用户设备在上行次分量载波 上的周期性探测参考信号的传输是否被去激活。
[68] 针对上行 SCC的激活 /去激活, 存在一种 RRC信令配置加上 MAC信令 激活 /去激活的方法,即基站在为用户设备配置上行 SCC时同时为其配置 pSRS 资源,但用户设备是否传输 pSRS需要通过 MAC激活 /去激活信令来进行控制。 当上行 SCC激活后,用户设备开始其上的 pSRS传输; 当上行 SCC去激活后, 用户设备停止其上的 pSRS传输。 针对该方法, 为了提高其空闲 pSRS资源的 利用率, 当基站通过 MAC信令去激活用户设备在某一个已配置的上行 SCC 上的 pSRS传输后, 基站和用户设备默认为所述 pSRS资源已经释放。 在所述 用户设备(第一用户设备)在所述的上行 SCC处于去激活状态期间, 基站可 以自由控制所述 pSRS 资源的分配, 将其分给其他用户设备用于非周期 SRS(aperiodic SRS, 以下筒称为 apSRS )的传输。
[69] 接下来, 在步骤 S220, 如果第一用户设备在上行次分量载波上的周期性 探测参考信号的传输被去激活,则基站将包含第一用户设备周期性探测参考信 号的资源的信息传输到第二用户设备,用于第二用户设备在上行次分量载波上 传输非周期性探测参考信号。
[70] 根据本发明的实施例,一个用户设备的空闲 pSRS资源可以由基站分配给 其他用户设备用于 apSRS 的传输。 这样一来, 就可以提高系统的探测参考信 号资源利用效率, 使得系统能够支持更多的用户。
[71] 为了进一步描述本发明, 下面结合具体的实施例来描述本发明的用于在 载波聚合系统中的上行次分量载波上传输非周期性探测参考信号的方法。
第三实施例
[72] 根据本发明的第三实施例, 基站通过 RRC信令进行 apSRS资源的配置, 通过 PDCCH信令进行 apSRS的激活。
[73] 具体地, 当基站通过 MAC信令去激活用户设备 A在某一个已配置的上 行 SCC上的 pSRS传输后,基站将所述的 pSRS传输所用的资源通过 RRC信 令配置给一组用户设备。 所述 RRC信令中至少包含如下参数: srs-Bandwidth, freqDomainPosition, transmissionComb, cyclicShift。
[74] 当所述一组用户设备中的某一个用户设备 B需要传输 apSRS时, 基站通 过 PDCCH信令激活所述用户设备 B的 apSRS的传输。该 PDCCH信令中需要 至少包含 lbit的信息用于指示 apSRS的激活。
[75] 当基站通过 MAC信令激活用户设备 A在上行 SCC上的 pSRS传输后, 用户设备 A继续使用之前通过 RRC信令为其配置的上行 SCC上的 pSRS资源 传输 pSRS。 如果基站已经将所述 pSRS的资源分配给了其他一组用户设备, 那么基站同时会通过 RRC信令通知所述的一组用户设备释放所述的用户设 备 A在上行 SCC上的 pSRS资源。
[76] 在根据本发明的第三实施例的方法中, 在第一用户设备(用户设备 A ) 在上行次分量载波上的周期性探测参考信号的传输被去激活之后, 通过 RRC 信令将包含周期性探测参考信号的资源的信息传输到包括第二用户设备(用户 设备 B )的一组用户设备中的每一个用户设备。 当第二用户设备需要在上行次 分量载波上传输非周期性探测参考信号时,通过 PDCCH信令向第二用户设备 传输激活信号,以激活第二用户设备在上行次分量载波上传输非周期性探测参 考信号。
[77] 在当前实施例中, 当第一用户设备在上行次分量载波上的周期性探测参 考信号的传输被重新激活时, 通过 RRC信令通知一组用户设备释放周期性探 测参考信号的资源,并且第一用户设备继续使用周期性探测参考信号的资源在 上行次分量载波上传输周期性探测参考信号。
第四实施例
[78] 根据本发明的第四实施例, 基站通过 PDCCH信令进行 apSRS资源的配 置和激活。
[79] 具体地, 当基站通过 MAC信令去激活用户设备 A在某一个已配置的上 行 SCC1上的 pSRS传输后,基站可以自由控制所述 pSRS资源的分配。 如果 在某一时刻, 某一用户设备 B需要在上行 SCC1上传输 apSRS时, 基站可以 将所述的用户设备 A在上行 SCC1上的 pSRS资源通过 PDCCH信令配置给所 述用户设备 B并同时激活其在上行 SCC1上的 apSRS的传输。 所述 PDCCH 信 令 中 至 少 包 含如 下 参数 : srs-Bandwidth, freqDomainPosition transmissionComb, cyclicShift。
[80] 当基站通过 MAC信令激活用户设备 A在上行 SCC上的 pSRS传输后, 用户设备 A继续使用之前通过 RRC信令为其配置的上行 SCC1上的 pSRS资 源传输 pSRS。
[81] 在根据本发明的第四实施例的方法中, 在第一用户设备(用户设备 A ) 在上行次分量载波上的周期性探测参考信号的传输被去激活之后,当第二用户 设备(用户设备 B )需要在同一个上行次分量载波上传输非周期性探测参考信 号时,通过 PDCCH信令将包含周期性探测参考信号的资源的信息传输到第二 用户设备,并激活第二用户设备在所述上行次分量载波上传输非周期性探测参 考信号。
[82] 在当前实施例中, 当第一用户设备在上行次分量载波上的周期性探测参 考信号的传输被重新激活时,第一用户设备继续使用周期性探测参考信号的资 源在上行次分量载波上传输周期性探测参考信号。
[83] 下面进一步结合附图来描述根据本发明实施例的用于在载波聚合系统中 的上行次分量载波上传输周期性探测参考信号的设备。图 3是示出根据本发明 实施例的用于在载波聚合系统中的上行次分量载波上传输周期性探测参考信 号的设备 300的框图。
[84] 如图 3所示, 根据本发明的实施例的设备 300包括上行次分量载波配置 单元 310、 激活确定单元 320、 周期性探测参考信号配置单元 330和激活信令 传输单元 340。
[85] 上行次分量载波配置单元 310用于为用户设备配置上行次分量载波。
[86] 激活确定单元 320用于确定是否接收到激活触发事件, 所述激活触发事 件用于激活用户设备在上行次分量载波上传输周期性探测参考信号。 [87] 周期性探测参考信号配置单元 330用于在激活确定单元 320确定接收到 激活触发事件的情况下,为用户设备配置在上行次分量载波上传输周期性探测 参考信号所需的物理资源参数。
[88] 激活信令传输单元 340用于将包含为用户设备配置的物理资源参数的信 息传输到用户设备,以激活用户设备在配置的上行次分量载波上传输周期性探 测参考信号。
