Downlink control information sending method, detecting method, base station and user equipment

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of wireless communications, and in particular, to a downlink control applicable in an LTE/LTE-A (Long Term Evolution/Long Term Evolution Advance) system and an evolved system thereof. Method of transmitting information, detecting method, base station, and user equipment. Background technique

MTC (Machine Type Communication) User Terminal ( MTC User

Equipment, referred to as MTC UE), also known as M2M (Machine to Machine, M2M) user communication equipment, is the main application form of the Internet of Things at this stage. Low power consumption and low cost are important guarantees for large-scale applications. At present, M2M technology has been supported by internationally renowned manufacturers such as NEC, HP, CA, Intel, IBM, AT&T, and mobile operators in various countries. The M2M devices currently deployed on the market are mainly based on the GSM (Global System of Mobile communication) system. In recent years, due to the high spectrum efficiency of LTE/LTE-A, more and more mobile operators have chosen LTE/LTE-A as the evolution direction of future broadband wireless communication systems. M2M multi-class data services based on LTE/LTE-A will also be more attractive. Only the cost of the LTE-M2M device can be lower than that of the MTC terminal of the GSM system, and the M2M service can be truly transferred from the GSM to the LTE system.

The cost of affecting MTC UEs is mainly in baseband processing and radio frequency. Reducing the number of RF antennas is a very effective way to reduce the cost of MTC UEs. That is, the receiving antenna of the MTC UE is smaller than the minimum configuration of the two receiving antennas of the conventional legacy LTE terminal (Ordinary Legacy R8/9/10 UE, OL UE for short). As shown in FIG. 1 , both the low-cost MTC UE and the legacy UE can transmit DCI (Downlink Control Information) through the PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel), and the MTC UE and the new version of LTE-A ( The New Version Rl l/etc. UE, abbreviated as NV UE, can transmit DCI information through an enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (ePDCCH).

And OL UE, NV UE use DCI in LTE/LTE-A system, MTC UE is also The DCI is obtained by demodulating the PDCCH/ePDCCH channel to implement demodulation and control of the PDSCH (Physical Downlink Share Channel) and the Physical Uplink Share Channel (PUSCH).

3 is a schematic diagram of a frame structure of a TDD (Time Division Duplexing) mode according to the related art. As shown in FIG. 3, a 10 ms radio frame is composed of two half frames of 5 ms length. One field includes five subframes of length 1 ms, and subframe i is defined as two slots 2i and 2i+1 that are 0.5 ms long.

When the low-cost MTC terminal accesses the system, because the PDCCH is full-bandwidth interleaved, when the public information is received, all the control information of the PDCCH may not be received due to the large bandwidth, so that the PDSCH cannot be received and the public information cannot be obtained, resulting in the terminal. Unable to access the system.

The low-cost receiving antenna-limited MTC UE may have a problem of reduced coverage performance in the LTE system, and the low-cost MTC UE may not be fully used because it does not support spatial multiplexing, MIMO, and the like. Strong, even if some existing DCI formats can be applied to low-cost MTC UEs, it will cause excessive overhead. For low-cost receiving antennas, limited coverage of MTC UEs in LTE systems is limited, and a suitable information transmission procedure is designed for low-cost MTC UEs. No effective solution has been proposed yet.

The DCI is in one of the following formats:

Format 1A, Format 1C; The newly defined format; the format may be identified by the format 1E, and the identifier is only an example, and other identifiers different from the used DCI Format may be used as needed, which is not limited by the present invention.

Wherein, the DCI is Format 0, or is a newly defined format, and the format can use Format

The OA identifier is only an example, and other identifiers different from the used DCI Format may be used as needed, which is not limited by the present invention.

The format of this new definition includes the following information:

Furthermore, the uplink transmission mode only supports the transmission mode of single antenna port transmission.

Furthermore, when the low-cost MTC uses the newly designed DCI format, the resource allocation method only supports one type of continuous resource allocation type2, and does not support frequency hopping. The MCS level only supports the mode with the highest modulation order of QPSK or 16QAM. The HARQ process supports up to 2 processes and can be indicated by lbit. Only periodic CSI feedback or aperiodic CSI feedback is supported.

Further, when using the single antenna port transmission mode, N-SCID is a predefined value of 0 or 1. N-SCID is a parameter required for one of the pilot sequence initializations used in the single antenna port transmission mode. This can be seen in section 6.10.3.1 of 3GPP Protocol 36.211.

The reduction of the radio frequency link removes the UE's receive diversity, that is, the single antenna is reserved, which directly causes the UE to reduce the coverage performance. By designing a Compact DCI Format suitable for low-cost MTC UEs, coverage performance can be improved and costs can be reduced.

The related content will be further explained below.

1. For blind detection PDSCH, similar to PDCCH blind detection, detecting its CRC scrambling

The RNTL PDSCH occupies the full bandwidth or a predefined part of the bandwidth of the system. The system bandwidth is divided into n parts, and the Low Cost UE is detected by the parts.

Option 1: When the system bandwidth is 1.4MHz, there are 6RB, divided into 6 parts, when PDSCH occupies The full bandwidth is allocated in units of 1 RB, and the Low Cost UE performs blind detection for each RB within 6 RBs.

Scenario 2: When the system bandwidth is 5 MHz, there are 25 RBs, which are divided into 6 parts. When the PDSCH occupies the predefined bandwidth of the central 6 RB and is allocated in 2 RB resource units, the Low Cost UE is blinded every 2 RBs within the predefined bandwidth. Detection.

Scenario 3: When the system bandwidth is 1.4MHz, there are 6 RBs, which are divided into 3 parts. When the PDSCH occupies the full bandwidth and is allocated in 2 RB resource units, the Low Cost UE performs blind detection every 2 RBs within 6 RBs.

Scenario 4: When the system bandwidth is 1.4MHz, there are 6 RBs, which are divided into 3 parts. When the PDSCH occupies 4 RBs of predefined bandwidth and allocates 2 RBs as resource elements, the Low Cost UE performs blind detection every 2 RBs within 4 RBs.

Scenario 5: When the system bandwidth is 1.4MHz, there are 6 RBs, which are divided into 1 parts, that is, the PDSCH is allocated in units of 6 RBs, and the Low Cost UE is blindly tested every 6 RBs.

2. For the transmission mode supported by the low-cost MTC terminal, it is the transmission mode of the transmission diversity, or the transmission mode of the transmission mode of the single antenna port and the transmission mode of the transmission diversity.

(a) In the downlink transmission mode, in the common search space and in the user equipment-specific search space defined by C-RNTI and SPS C-RNTI, the downlink control information format DCI Format IE is used to indicate the transmission mode, as shown in Table 1 or 2. Shown. When the transmission mode including the transmission mode of the single antenna port and the transmission mode of the transmission diversity is used, an increase of lbit is added to the DCI Format IE to distinguish.

(b) In the uplink transmission mode, in the common search space and in the user equipment-specific search space defined by the C-RNTI and the SPS C-RNTI, the downlink control information format DCI Format OA is used to indicate the transmission mode, as shown in Table 3. .

Table 3 PDCCH and PDSCH configured by C-RNTI or SPS-RNTI

3. For the subframe configuration setting of the transmission information, when the public information is transmitted, the transmission subframe of the public information preferably includes subframe 0 and or subframe 5 but is not limited thereto; when transmitting the proprietary information, transmitting the PDCCH The subframe is a predefined subframe, for example, a subset of the subframe {0, 9} set.

Scheme 1: The subframe for the control channel corresponding to the transmission of the proprietary information is all ten subframes within one frame, that is, {0, 9}, or any one or more subframes within one frame, suitable for each sub-frame. Dynamic scheduling of frames.

Scheme 2: The subframe for the control channel corresponding to the transmission of the proprietary information is five subframes within one frame, such as {0, 2, 4, 6, 8} or {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}, Suitable for cross-frame scheduling.

4. The MCS level corresponding to the transport block size of the PDSCH bearer is a predefined k type, and k is a natural number. As described in point 5, when the QPSK modulation mode is limited, the value set of k is {1, 2, 4, 8}; When the limit is 16QAM modulation mode, the value set of k is {1, 2, 4, 8, 16}; when the MCS level is not limited, the value of k is 32; when the transport block size is pre- Define k kinds, the possible values are {1, 2, 4, 8}, and the modulation mode is fixed to one of QPSK or 16QAM.

5. In the Compact DCI Format design, there are several cases for the only supported resource allocation method:

(a) Only the DVRB mode in the resource allocation type type 2 is supported. This consideration is mainly considered Reduce the resource allocation bit field. "i.g ₂ (Ld _Pl Ns ^p J-(k _gaPl /Ns ^p J+i) 2) l bits are required. For example, when the low-cost MTC UE bandwidth is 1.4 MHz, the required resource allocation bit field only needs 3 bits. The advantage of this scheme is that using fewer bits helps to improve performance.

(b) Only the LVRB mode in the resource allocation type type2 is supported. This consideration is that the granularity when allocating resources can be in units of 1 RB. The " _i.g2 (N^+i)/2)] bit is required. For example, when the low-cost MTC UE has a bandwidth of 1.4 MHz, the required resource allocation bit field requires 5 bits. The advantage of this scheme is that the resource allocation is finer. This allows more UEs to use resources at the same time.

(c) Support resource allocation type type2. Requires centralized/discrete VRB allocation flag 1 bit (set to '0 for LVRB) and resource block allocation "i. _g2 (N^(i^+i)/2)] bits, eg low-cost MTC UE bandwidth is 1.4MHz When the required resource allocation bit field requires 6 bits, the advantage of this scheme is that the resource allocation is more flexible.

For the MCS level bit field, there are several cases:

(a) Limit the maximum number of modulation solutions used to be 16QAM. The advantage of this scheme is to fully guarantee the average spectral efficiency of the system. Further can be subdivided into the following situations:

(al) The MCS level is expressed in 4 bits, for a total of 16 cases. For example, as shown in Table 4. Others in the existing MCS level 0-16 a total of 17 combinations of 16 combinations are included.

( a2 ) The MCS level is expressed in 3 bits, for a total of 8 cases. For example: As shown in Table 5. Others in the existing MCS level 0-16 a total of 17 selected combinations of 8 are included.

( a4 ) The MCS level is represented by lbit, and there are two cases. For example: As shown in Table 7. Others in the existing MCS level 0-16 a total of 17 kinds of combinations are included.

Table 7 MCS rating

( a5 ) The MCS level bit field is not used, that is, only one MCS level is supported. For example: As shown in Table 8. Others in the existing MCS level 0-16 a total of 17 selected one of the combinations are included.

Table 8 MCS rating

(b) Limit the maximum number of modulation solutions used to be QPSK. The advantage of this scheme is to minimize the MCS bit field while reducing the processing complexity while ensuring that the spectrum efficiency is not lower than that of the GSM system. Further can be subdivided into the following situations:

( bl ) The MCS level is expressed in 3 bits, for a total of 8 cases. For example: As shown in Table 9. Others in the existing MCS level 0-9 a total of 10 kinds of choices are included in 8 combinations

Table 9 MCS rating

( b2 ) The MCS level is expressed in 2 bits, for a total of 4 cases. For example: As shown in Table 10, among the existing MCS grades, there are 10 combinations of 10 to choose 4 of them.

Table 10 MCS rating

(b3) The MCS level is expressed using lbit, which is a common case. For example: As shown in Table 11, other combinations of 0 and 10 in the existing MCS level are included.

Table 11 MCS rating

MCS Modulation TBS

(b4) The MCS level bit field is not used, that is, only one MCS level is supported. For example: As shown in Table 12. Others in the existing MCS level 0-9 a total of 10 selected one of the combinations are included.

Table 12 MCS rating

For the bit field of the number of HARQ processes, there are the following cases:

(a) Use lbit to indicate the number of HARQ processes, that is, support 2 HARQ processes. This kind of consideration is mainly to ensure the demand of the HARQ process for the burst service, and only one HARQ process can be used for the periodic report service.

(b) The HARQ process number bit field is not used, that is, only one HARQ process is supported. This kind of consideration is mainly for the convenience of operation, and all users use one process.

The DCI format OA and DCI format IE corresponding to the transmission mode used by the low-cost MTC terminal are as follows.

The next field is mapped to a high information bit. The most significant bit of each field maps to the lowest information bit of the corresponding field, for example, the most significant bit of the first field maps to a. . Among them, DCI formats 0A, 1E, 3, and 3A have the same load size.

The PDSCH bandwidth is smaller than the system bandwidth.

The frequency domain resource of the PDSCH is a full bandwidth of the access bandwidth of the user equipment, or a predefined partial bandwidth of the user equipment access bandwidth. The downlink control information sending unit scrambles the PDSCH by using a preset radio network temporary identifier RNTI.
