Definitions
- the present invention relates to a terminal device and a retransmission method.
- the terminal (sometimes called “UE: User : Equipment”) makes a connection request to the base station after the acquisition of parameters unique to the base station (sometimes called “eNB”) is completed.
- the base station transmits control information via a downlink control channel such as PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) as necessary to a terminal with which communication has been established.
- PDCCH Physical Downlink Control Channel
- the terminal “blindly determines” each of a plurality of control information (downlink control information (sometimes referred to as Downlink Control Information: DCI)) included in the received PDCCH signal. That is, the control information includes a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) part, and this CRC part is masked by the terminal ID of the transmission target terminal in the base station. Therefore, the terminal cannot determine whether or not the received control information is control information destined for the own device until the CRC part of the received control information is demasked with the terminal ID of the own device. In this blind determination, if the CRC calculation is OK as a result of demasking, it is determined that the control information is addressed to the own device.
- the downlink control information includes DL assignment indicating downlink data assignment information, UL grant indicating uplink data assignment information, and the like.
- LTE there are an FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) system and a TDD (Time Division Division Duplex) system.
- FDD Frequency Division Duplex
- TDD Time Division Division Duplex
- a downlink unit band sometimes called a downlink CC (Component Carrier)
- an uplink unit band sometimes called an uplink CC
- the downlink unit band and the uplink unit band are the same frequency band, and downlink communication and uplink communication are realized by switching between the downlink and the uplink in a time division manner. Therefore, in the case of the TDD system, the downlink unit band can also be expressed as “downlink communication timing in the unit band”. The uplink unit band can also be expressed as “uplink communication timing in the unit band”. The switching between the downlink unit band and the uplink unit band is based on UL-DL configuration as shown in FIG.
- the UL-DL Configuration is notified to the terminal by a notification signal called SIB1 (System Information Block Block Type 1), and the value is the same throughout the system, and it is assumed that the value is not changed frequently. .
- SIB1 System Information Block Block Type 1
- DL Downlink
- UL Uplink
- UL-DL configuration can construct a communication system that can flexibly cope with the throughput for downlink communication and the throughput requirement for uplink communication by changing the subframe ratio between downlink communication and uplink communication. For example, FIG.
- the downlink communication subframe (DL subframe) is represented by “D”
- the uplink communication subframe (UL subframe) is represented by “U”
- the special subframe is represented by “S”.
- the special subframe is a subframe at the time of switching from the downlink communication subframe to the uplink communication subframe.
- downlink data communication may be performed as in the downlink communication subframe.
- Synchronous HARQ a retransmission control method called synchronous HARQ is used in the uplink to reduce the number of control signal bits.
- Synchronous HARQ UL subframes with the same UL HARQ process are determined in advance, and when uplink retransmission is performed, retransmission is performed with UL subframes with the same process. By doing so, the base station can select data to be retransmitted without explicitly instructing which data transmitted from the terminal in the past is to be retransmitted.
- Synchronous HARQ has a mechanism in which uplink data transmitted in the past is retransmitted only in the UL subframe of the same process.
- a different process number is assigned to each UL-HARQ process.
- different process numbers are determined in advance depending on the TDD UL-DL configuration (for example, FIG. 1).
- the number given below the UL subframe (“U”) indicates the process number of the UL-HARQ process associated with the UL subframe.
- U the number given below the UL subframe
- the number of UL HARQ processes is seven, and UL HARQ processes with process numbers # 1 to # 7 (hereinafter referred to as UL HARQ processes # 1 to # 7) for UL subframes. ) Are assigned in order.
- Config # 2 there are two UL HARQ processes, and UL HARQ processes # 1 and # 2 are assigned to UL subframes in order. The same applies to Config # 1, Config # 3 to Config # 6.
- the number of UL-HARQ processes is such that, in all UL-HARQ processes, the interval from when uplink data is transmitted in the UL subframe until retransmission is instructed in the DL subframe is 4 subframes or more, and The minimum number of processes is set when the interval from when retransmission is instructed in a frame until retransmission data is transmitted in the UL subframe is 4 subframes or more. Therefore, in UL-DL configuration with many UL subframes, the number of UL-HARQ processes increases, and in UL-DL configuration with few UL subframes, the number of UL-HARQ processes decreases.
- FIG. 2 shows the number of UL-HARQ processes in each UL-DL configuration (Config # 0 to Config # 6) and the interval at which the correspondence between the subframe number and the process number corresponding to the subframe number is the same. Indicates the cycle (UL HARQ cycle. Time [ms] or number of frames).
- TDD eIMTA enhanced for DL-UL Interference Management and Traffic Adaptation
- dynamic TDD dynamic TDD
- flexible TDD flexible TDD
- the purpose of TDD eIMTA is to provide services that meet users' needs by flexibly changing the UL / DL ratio, or to reduce power consumption at the base station by increasing the UL ratio during times of low traffic load. Can be mentioned.
- Method (1) is the least frequent UL-DL configuration change.
- the method (1) is suitable, for example, for the purpose of reducing power consumption at the base station by increasing the UL ratio in a low traffic load period (for example, late at night or early morning).
- Method (4) is the most frequent UL-DL configuration change.
- a small cell such as a pico cell
- the number of connected terminals is smaller than in a large cell such as a macro cell.
- the UL / DL traffic of the entire pico cell is determined by the amount of UL / DL traffic in a small number of terminals connected to the pico cell. For this reason, time fluctuation of UL / DL traffic is severe in the pico cell.
- the method (4) is suitable.
- the method (2) and the method (3) are located between the method (1) and the method (4) and are suitable when the frequency of change of the medium UL-DL configuration is moderate.
- the number of UL HARQ processes differs for each UL-DL configuration.
- TDD-eIMTA when the UL-DL Configuration is dynamically switched, the number of UL HARQ processes is also changed.
- the number of UL-HARQ processes is changed, which process in UL-DL Configuration before switching (old UL-DL Configuration) will be continued in which process in UL-DL Configuration after switching (new UL-DL Configuration) It is necessary to determine.
- “continuation of process” means that in synchronous HARQ, uplink data (UL data) transmitted in UL HARQ process of UL-DL Configuration before switching is retransmitted in UL HARQ process of UL-DL Configuration after switching. It shows that. For example, in the UL-DL configuration before and after switching, a method of continuing the UL HARQ process corresponding to the same UL subframe (same timing) can be considered.
- the old UL-DL configuration and the new UL-DL configuration have the same cycle (UL HARQ cycle) (in FIG. 2, the cycle 1 process), which process number UL-HARQ process is continued to which process number UL-HARQ process is independent of the UL-DL Configuration switching frame (hereinafter referred to as switching frame). Determined.
- FIG. 3 shows an example of switching from Config # 0 to Config # 2.
- subframe # 2 and subframe # 7 are UL subframes common to both Config # 0 and Config # 2 (see FIG. 1).
- a UL-DL Configuration switching instruction (reconfiguration) is notified in the first subframe # 0 of the frame.
- the terminal when the terminal detects a UL-DL Configuration switching instruction in Frame # N + 1, the terminal sends a UL HARQ process # 7 corresponding to subframe # 2 of Config # 0 and a subframe. Recognize that UL HARQ process # 3 corresponding to # 7 will continue. That is, UL HARQ process # 7 corresponding to subframe # 2 of Config # 0 continues as UL HARQ process # 1 corresponding to subframe # 2 of Config # 2, and corresponds to subframe # 7 of Config # 0. The UL HARQ process # 3 is continued as the HARQ process # 2 corresponding to the subframe # 7 of Config # 2.
- the terminal when the terminal detects a UL-DL Configuration switching instruction in Frame # N + 2, the terminal sends a UL HARQ process # 6 corresponding to subframe # 2 of Config # 0, and It is recognized that UL-HARQ process # 2 corresponding to subframe # 7 of Config # 0 is continued.
- UL HARQ process # 6 corresponding to subframe # 2 of Config # 0 continues as UL HARQ process # 1 corresponding to subframe # 2 of Config # 2, and corresponds to subframe # 7 of Config # 0.
- the UL HARQ process # 2 to be continued is the HARQ process # 2 corresponding to the subframe # 7 of Config # 2.
- the UL HARQ process continued depending on the timing (frame) at which the terminal detects the UL-DL configuration switching instruction. For example, although the base station recognizes that the terminal switches from Config # 0 to Config # 2 in Frame # N + 1 as shown in FIG. 3A, the terminal as shown in FIG. When the switching instruction cannot be detected in Frame # N + 1 and the switching instruction is detected in Frame # N + 2, the UL-HARQ process that is continued before and after the UL-DL configuration switching is performed between the base station and the terminal. Recognition is different.
- Config # 0 and Config # 6 the cycle (UL HARQ cycle) shown in Fig. 2 is longer than one frame. For this reason, in particular, when Config # 0 or Config # 6 is included as the UL-DL Configuration before and after switching, the UL-HARQ process that is continued differs depending on the UL-DL Configuration switching frame. In this way, the UL-HARQ process recognition that is continued in the UL-DL configuration before and after switching is different between the base station and the terminal, so that erroneous data retransmission processing from the terminal to the base station is continued.

- the base station 100 can instruct the switching of the UL-DL configuration for the terminal 200 not only in the base frame but in any frame.
- the terminal 200 is a terminal that can be switched to one of a plurality of UL-DL configurations as shown in FIG. 1, for example.
- the base frame is uniquely determined by the UL-DL configuration before switching and the UL-DL configuration after switching.
- the base frame is defined as a frame having a frame number that is divisible by the least common multiple of the period (number of frames) of UL-DL configuration before and after switching.
- the terminal 200 switches the UL-DL configuration in the frame (switch frame) that has received the UL-DL configuration switching instruction. At that time, the terminal 200 preferentially continues the UL HARQ process at the timing when both UL-DL Configurations before and after switching are UL subframes in the base frame.
- the terminal 200 does not perform the next retransmission for the UL HARQ process without the continuation destination of the UL-DL configuration before switching, even if it is in the middle of the retransmission. Also, the terminal 200 starts transmission of new data to the UL HARQ process without the UL-DL Configuration after the switching.

- terminal 200 (decision unit 206) continues the UL HARQ process corresponding to subframes # 2 and # 7 when switching between UL-DL configurations. For example, when switching from Config # 1 to Config # 2, the terminal 200 continues the UL HARQ process # 1 of Config # 1 as the UL HARQ process # 1 of Config # 2, and the UL HARQ process # 1 of Config # 1 3 is continued as UL HARQ process # 2 in Config # 2.

- Config # 1 and Config # 3 subframes # 2 and # 3 are common UL subframes. Therefore, the terminal 200 continues the UL HARQ process corresponding to the subframes # 2 and # 3 when the UL-DL configuration is switched. For example, when switching from Config # 1 to Config # 3, the terminal 200 continues the UL HARQ process # 1 of Config # 1 as the UL HARQ process # 1 of Config # 3, and the UL ⁇ HARQ process # 1 of Config # 1 2 is continued as UL HARQ process # 2 in Config # 3.
- subframe # 4 is a UL subframe. Therefore, in Config # 3 after switching, it is possible to continue another UL HARQ process of Config # 1 in UL HARQ process # 3 corresponding to subframe # 4. Therefore, the terminal 200 continues the UL-HARQ process of the UL-DL configuration before switching at the timing (second timing) different from the timing (first timing) when both UL-DL configurations before and after switching are UL subframes.
- the UL-HARQ process of the UL-DL Configuration after switching at a different timing (third timing) between the first timing and the second timing may be determined as the continuing UL-HARQ process. .
