Description

A method and apparatus for configuring cell information The present application claims the priority of the following Chinese patent application:

It was submitted to the Chinese Patent Office on January 13, 2011, and the application number is 201110006898.X. The invention is entitled "A Method and Apparatus for Configuring Cell Information". Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and apparatus for configuring cell information. Background technique

In the LTE (Long Term Evolution) system and the previous wireless communication system, there is only one carrier in one cell. The maximum bandwidth of the carrier in the LTE system is 20 MHz, as shown in Figure 1. In the LTE-A (Long Term Evolution-Advanced) system, the peak rate of the system is greatly improved compared to LTE, and it is required to achieve downlink lGbps and uplink 500 Mbps. If only one carrier with a maximum bandwidth of 20 MHz is used, it cannot be achieved. The above peak rate is required. Therefore, the LTE-A system needs to expand the bandwidth that the terminal can use, thereby introducing a CA (Carrier Aggregation) technology, that is, merging multiple consecutive or discontinuous carriers under the same eNB (base station). At the same time, it serves the UE (User Equipment) to provide the required rate. The above-mentioned carriers are also called CC (Component Carrier). Each cell can correspond to one member carrier, and component carriers corresponding to cells in different eNBs cannot be aggregated.

In order to ensure that the LTE UE can work under each aggregated carrier, the maximum bandwidth of each carrier is required to not exceed 20 MHz. A schematic diagram of a carrier distribution of an LTE-A cell, as shown in FIG. There are 4 carriers that can be aggregated under the base station, and the base station can perform data transmission with the UE on 4 carriers at the same time to improve system throughput. In the LTE-A system, the UE can simultaneously aggregate signaling scheduling and service transmission on multiple carriers. The three uplink resource configurations introduced by RAN1 can be bound to an uplink carrier from the perspective of resource allocation. The uplink carrier is a primary component carrier (PCC), and the bound uplink resources include a CQI (Channel Quality Indicator), a DSR (Dedicated Scheduling Request), and an upstream HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest). Hybrid automatic retransmission request) feedback. Among the multiple carriers used by the UE, the carrier of the primary carrier is an SCC (Secondary Component Carrier). The selection of the primary carrier is UE level, that is, all UEs in the system are not required to use the same primary carrier. In addition, the uplink and downlink carriers constituting the primary carrier need to satisfy the correspondence indicated by the system information SIB2.

The cell in which the UE resides includes a primary cell and a secondary cell, which respectively correspond to the currently aggregated primary carrier and the secondary carrier. All cells in the R10 version of the LTE-A system are backward compatible R8/9 cells, that is, each cell has downlink resources and has system information broadcast. The UE can directly read the broadcast on the primary cell to obtain system information. The manner of notification and change of system information is also in accordance with R8/9, and is notified to the UE by the base station by means of dedicated signaling. The UE does not need to read system information broadcast on the secondary cell.

As a resource other than the primary cell, the secondary cell is configured and used by the base station only in the connected state of the UE. The base station usually adds a new secondary cell to the UE by using an RRC (Radio Resource Control) connection reconfiguration message, and the message includes information such as a common configuration, a dedicated configuration, and a secondary cell number associated with the secondary cell. If the public configuration related to the secondary cell needs to be changed, the base station may implement the method of deleting the secondary cell and then adding it instead of modifying the public configuration. When the cell is switched, the secondary cell may be configured by the handover command. The handover command includes information about the common configuration, the dedicated configuration, and the secondary cell number associated with the secondary cell. The configuration is similar to the initial mode when the secondary cell is added.

In R8/9, the physical layer standard defines seven UL/DL configuration modes, as shown in Table 1.

Where D represents a DL subframe, U represents a UL subframe, and S represents a special subframe of the TDD system. In the R11 system, multiple component carriers used by the CA terminal can belong to different frequency bands, and the home frequency band spacing may also be relatively large. Therefore, the component carriers used by the CA terminal may be combined with other systems, such as TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous). Code Division Multiple Access, time-synchronous code division multiple access radio access technology, shared frequency band or use adjacent frequency bands, as shown in Figure 3. The LTE-A terminal resides in three cells: Celll, Cell2, and Cell3, where Celll and Cell2 use Bandl and Cell3 uses Band2. In order to avoid uplink and downlink cross interference in the TDD system, Bandl should use the TDD UL/DL configuration mode that can coexist with the 3G TDD Band A, and Band2 should use the TDD UL/DL configuration mode that can coexist with the 3G TDD Band B. If Band A and Band B use different TDD UL/DL configuration modes, the TDD UL/DL configuration modes used by Bandl and Band2 are also different. If a terminal can occupy multiple bands and different bands can support different TDD UL/DL configuration modes, the terminal will use different transceivers for different bands.

In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventors have found that at least the following problems exist in the prior art. question:

The LTE RIO can only support the scenarios in which the UL/DL configuration modes of the multiple TDD cells in which the UE resides are the same. For different Bands supporting different UL/DL configuration modes, if the device still works according to the R10 mechanism, the UE cannot obtain the TDD cell. The UL/DL configuration mode (mainly the secondary cell) adversely affects functions such as uplink and downlink scheduling and HARQ feedback. Summary of the invention

For a scenario in which multiple TDD cells aggregated by a CA terminal support different UL/DL configurations, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for configuring cell information, including: acquiring, by a user equipment, TDD UL/DL configuration information sent by a base station device, the TDD UL The /DL configuration information is TDD UL/DL configuration information of other cells aggregated with the primary cell where the user equipment camps, or TDD UL/DL configuration information of the handover target cell of the user equipment.

The technical solutions in the present invention will be clearly and completely described in the following description of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, it is a flowchart of a method for configuring cell information in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, which includes the following steps: Step 401: The user equipment receives system information broadcast by the base station device by using the primary cell. Specifically, by extending the system information broadcast (SIB1, SIB2, or other SIB) of each cell, the base station may broadcast TDD UL/DL configuration information of other cells under the base station to the primary cell where the user equipment resides, or may broadcast only TDD UL/DL configuration information of other cells aggregated with the primary cell. The user equipment acquires TDD UL/DL configuration information of other cells aggregated with the primary cell by receiving system information in the primary cell. The TDD UL/DL configuration information may include: a cell physical identifier, a cell downlink frequency point, a cell bandwidth, and a UL/DL configuration identifier, and different UL/DL configuration identifiers may be different from the UL/DL in Table 1. The configuration mode corresponds.

Step 402: The user equipment receives the signaling of adding the secondary cell sent by the base station device, applies the acquired TDD UL/DL configuration information to the cell indicated by the signaling, and performs data transmission and reception according to the scheduling on the added secondary cell.

In the above embodiment, the base station device may broadcast TDD UL/DL configuration information based on a single cell. For example, there are 3 bands (band 1 , 2, 3 ) TDD spectrum under base station 1, and cells in 3 bands use different TDD UL/DL configuration modes, that is, configuration modes 0, 1, and 2. The base station 1 broadcasts TDD UL/DL configuration information of other cells to each cell. The Idle UE camps on the cell 1 of the band 1, and reads the broadcast information of the cell 1, and obtains the TDD UL/DL configuration information of the cell 2 and the cell 3 under the bands 2 and 3. After the connection is initiated on the cell 1, the base station adds the cell 2 as a secondary carrier according to the service requirement of the UE, and indicates the PCI, frequency, and cell index of the cell 2. After receiving the command to add the secondary cell, the UE applies the received TDD UL/DL configuration information of the cell 2 on the cell 2, and performs data transmission and reception on the cell 2 according to the scheduling.

The base station may also broadcast TDD UL/DL configuration information based on a group, and divide the TDD UL/DL configuration information into multiple groups, each group corresponding to one or more cells, and TDD in each group. The UL/DL configuration information has the same TDD UL/DL configuration identification. For example, there are 3 carriers under base station 1, where CC1 uses TDD configuration mode 0, and CC2 and CC3 use TDD configuration mode 1. The base station 1 broadcasts two group information, the group1 includes the cell 1 and the TDD configuration mode 0 in the CC1, and the group 2 includes the cell 2 and the cell 3 located under the CC2 and the CC3, respectively, and the corresponding TDD configuration mode 1. The Idle UE camps on the cell 1, and reads the broadcast information of the cell 1, and obtains the TDD configuration information of the cell 2 and the cell 3 under the CC 2 and the CC3. After the connection is initiated on the cell 1, the base station adds the cell 2 as a secondary carrier according to the service requirement of the UE, and indicates the PCL frequency point and the cell index of the cell 2. After receiving the command to add the secondary cell, the UE applies the received TDD UL/DL configuration information of the cell 2 on the cell 2, and performs data transmission and reception on the cell 2 according to the scheduling.

In the foregoing embodiment, the base station notifies the user equipment of TDD UL/DL configuration information of other cells that are aggregated with the primary cell where the user equipment resides by means of system information. In other embodiments of the present invention, the base station may also notify the user equipment of the TDD UL/DL configuration information of the cell by means of RRC dedicated signaling.

As shown in FIG. 5, it is a flowchart of a method for configuring cell information in Embodiment 2 of the present invention, which includes the following steps:

Step 501: The base station device sends signaling for adding the secondary cell to the user equipment.

The signaling for adding the secondary cell may be an RRC connection reconfiguration message, where the message includes common configuration information, dedicated configuration information, and a secondary cell number associated with the secondary cell, and the common configuration information includes TDD UL/DL configuration information. The user equipment can obtain TDD UL/DL configuration information of other cells aggregated with the primary cell by receiving signaling of adding the secondary cell. The TDD UL/DL configuration information may include: a physical identifier of the cell, a downlink frequency of the cell, a cell bandwidth, and a UL/DL configuration identifier.

Step 502: The user equipment applies the acquired TDD UL/DL configuration information on the received cell that adds the signaling indication of the secondary cell, and performs data transmission and reception according to the scheduling on the added secondary cell.

In the above embodiment, the base station device may extend the common configuration information of the secondary cell included in the signaling of the added secondary cell, add the TDD UL/DL configuration information of the secondary cell to the common configuration information, and set the TDD UL/DL based on the single cell. The configuration information is notified to the user equipment. The public configuration information of the extended secondary cell is shown in Table 2:

The base station may also add the common configuration information of the secondary cell included in the signaling of the secondary cell based on the group extension, and add the TDD UL/DL configuration information of the secondary cell to the common configuration information, that is, divide the TDD UL/DL configuration information into A plurality of groups, each group corresponding to one or more cells, and the TDD UL/DL configuration information in each group has the same TDD UL/DL configuration identifier. For example, there are 3 band (band 1 , 2, 3 ) TDD spectrums under base station 1, bandl uses TDD configuration mode 0, and band 2 and band 3 use TDD configuration mode 1. The Idle UE camps on the cell 1 of the band 1, and initiates a connection from the cell 1. The base station increases the cell 2 and the cell of the band 2 according to the service requirement of the UE. 3 is a secondary carrier. In addition to indicating the PCI, frequency, and cell index of the cells 2 and 3, the UE 2 and the cell 3 are notified to apply the TDD configuration mode 1 in the form of a group. The UE applies the TDD configuration mode 1 on the cell 2 and the cell 3 according to the received command to increase the secondary cell, and performs data transmission and reception according to the scheduling on the cell 2 and the cell 3.
