Description

一种小区上行协作的方法和基站
本申请要求于2014年10月24日提交中国专利局、申请号为201410577216.4、发明名称为“一种小区上行协作的方法和基站”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种小区上行协作的方法和基站。
背景技术
上行协作多点传输(Coordinated Multiple Points,CoMP)技术是利用基站内的多个扇区或多个基站对用户设备(User Equipment,UE)的上行数据进行联合接收解调译码,以达到提高边缘UE的覆盖性能,提升UE上行速率的目的。例如,UE的服务小区归属于基站0,协作小区归属于基站1~K(K≥1),基站0与基站1~K对UE发送的上行数据进行联合接收解调译码。在该方式中,基站0完成MAC层调度后,将管理信息(例如,接入UE的调度信息)发送给基站1~K,而后,UE同时向基站0和基站1~K发送相同的上行数据,基站1~K将接收到的上行数据转发给基站0,基站0在指定时间T内完成数据的联合接收解调译码,并根据联合解调译码结果进行重传调度或新传调度。
上述过程中,基站0在指定时间T内设定有时刻1,若基站0在该时刻1之前接收到基站1~K转发的上行数据,则基站0将基站0单独接收到的上行数据与基站1~K转发的上行数据进行合并,以进行联合解调译码。而联合接收解调译码需要在指定时间内完成,由于网络拥塞、网络能力受限等因素可能导致基站间的数据交互时延较长,使得基站1~K转发的上行数据在时刻1之前无法及时到达基站0,导致了基站0没有充足的时间进行联合解调译码,这时基站0就对从UE单独接收到的上行数据进行解调译码。
但是,由于单独解调译码结果的正确率低于联合解调译码结果的正确率,因而导致了UE的数据重传率高,也即降低了单位时间内UE传输成功的上行数据量,从而降低了UE的上行速率。

本发明实施例提供的一种小区上行协作的方法和基站,UE的服务小区归属于第一基站,协作小区归属于第二基站,当第一时刻之前第一基站没有接收到第二基站转发的第一上行数据,且第一基站对从UE接收到的第二上行数据进行解调译码得到错误的解调译码结果时,将混合自动重传请求HARQ进程挂起,此时,不再如现有技术那样立刻进行重传调度,而是等待接收第二基站转发的第一上行数据直至第二时刻,因而联合接收解调译码的时刻就由现有技术中的第一时刻延迟到了本发明实施例中的第二时刻,从而使得当基站间数据交互时延较长导致第二基站转发的第一上行数据没有在第一时刻之前及时到达第一基站时,第一基站有较多的时间进行联合接收解调译码,而由于联合接收解调译码的正确率高于第一基站单独解调译码的正确率,因而提高了单位时间内传输成功的UE上行数据量,提升了UE的上行速率,解决了由于基站间数据交互时延较长,从而无法进行联合接收解调译码导致的UE上行速率低的问题。

参见图1,本发明实施例提供了一种第一基站100,UE的服务小区归属于该第一基站,具体可以包括以下部分:
第一确定单元101,用于确定在第一时刻之前是否接收到第二基站转发的用户设备UE发送的第一上行数据,UE的服务小区归属于第一基站,UE的协作小区归属于第二基站。
其中,UE的服务小区是指为UE提供语音、数据等各种通信业务服务的主服务小区,协作小区是UE主服务小区的相邻小区,用于通过与主服务小区交互从UE接收的上行数据,以实现多个基站数据的联合接收。这里的UE是同时向第一基站100和第二基站发送相同的上行数据的,第二基站可以有一个或多个,以提高UE的上行速率。
处理单元102,用于若第一确定单元101确定否,则对从UE接收到的第二上行数据进行解调译码,若得到错误的解调译码结果,则将混合自动重传请求(Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request,HARQ)进程挂起。
其中,解调译码包括基站从接收到UE的上行数据开始,经过下变频、解扰、解码等一系列处理操作,恢复原有用数据信息的过程。
混合自动重传请求HARQ进程用于在解调译码得到错误结果时立即进行重传调度,若将该进程挂起,则禁止立即进行重传调度,此时UE保持当前所处状态而不发送上行数据,直至第一基站100发送(UpLink Grant,UL-Grant)上行授权指示信息至UE,UE才进行数据的重传或新传。
可选地,处理单元102可以具体用于,向UE发送确认信号 (Acknowledgement,ACK),并不向UE发送上述HARQ进程的新传指示信息,以将自动重传请求HARQ进程挂起。其中,该新传指示信息用于指示UE继续发送下一个上行数据。
第二确定单元103,用于确定在第一时刻与第二时刻之间是否接收到第二基站转发的第一上行数据。
解调译码单元104,用于若第二确定单元103确定在第一时刻与第二时刻之间接收到第一上行数据,第二时刻晚于第一时刻,则对第一上行数据和第二上行数据进行联合解调译码,并确定解调译码结果,或根据第二基站转发的第一数据确定解调译码结果,第一数据为第二基站对第一上行数据进行解调译码后的数据。
若在第一时刻与第二时刻之间,一旦有第二基站(可以是一个或多个)转发的第一上行数据到达,则解调译码单元104用于对从UE接收到的第二上行数据和第二基站转发的第一上行数据进行联合解调译码,并确定解调译码结果。
可选地,解调译码单元104可以具体用于,对从UE接收到的第二上行数据和第二基站转发的第一上行数据进行联合解调译码;
若解调译码正确,则确定解调译码结果正确;若解调译码错误,则确定解调译码结果错误。
可选地,第一数据可以包括第二基站对第一上行数据解调译码后的数据比特和结果指示信息;
解调译码单元104可以具体用于:
若第二基站对第一上行数据解调译码正确,结果指示信息指示解调译码正确,则确定解调译码结果正确;
若第二基站对第一上行数据解调译码错误,结果指示信息指示解调译码错误,则确定解调译码结果错误。
解调译码单元104用于确定解调译码结果是否正确的方式可以有多种,例如,可以将对UE上行数据解调译码后得到的校验码与UE上行数据中携带的校验码相比较,若与UE上行数据中携带的校验码相同,则可以将标志位置为1,以表示解调译码结果正确;若 与UE上行数据中携带的校验码不同,则可以将标志位置为0,以表示解调译码结果错误。
可选地,还可以包括获取单元105,用于获取UE发送上行数据时的传输质量。其中,这里的上行数据包括第一上行数据和第二上行数据,传输质量可以包括UE的信噪比(Signal/Noise,SNR)、信干噪比(Signal/Interference and Noise,SINR)或调制与编码策略(Modulation and Coding Scheme,MCS),还可以包括其它参数,这里不做限定。
可选地,还可以包括第一发送单元106,用于根据获取单元105获取的传输质量向UE发送指示信号,指示信号用于使UE进入时隙绑定TTI Bundling状态以发送上行数据,第一基站100和第二基站接收UE在该TTI Bundling状态下发送的上行数据。
示例性的,在UE与基站之间进行语音业务传输时,当UE的SNR或者信干噪比SINR小于某一阈值时,说明混在语音信号里的噪声大,声音回放的音质低,这时第一发送单元106可以用于指示UE以时隙绑定(Transmission Time Interval Bundling,TTI Bundling)状态发送上行数据,以提高UE传输成功的上行数据量。而MCS可以说明在当前的调制解调译码方式下UE的数据传输速率,因此,当传输速率低于某一阈值时,第一发送单元106可以用于可以向UE发送指示信号,以指示UE进入TTI Bundling状态发送上行数据。
可选地,还可以包括第二发送单元107,用于若在第二时刻后,第一基站100确定解调译码结果错误,则向UE发送重传指示信息,重传指示信息用于指示UE重传上行数据;
若在第二时刻后,第一基站100确定解调译码结果正确,则向UE发送新传指示信息。
本发明实施例提供的基站,UE的服务小区归属于第一基站100,协作小区归属于第二基站,当第一时刻之前第一基站100没有接收到第二基站转发的第一上行数据,且第一基站100对从UE接收到的第二上行数据进行解调译码得到错误的解调译码结果时,将混合 自动重传请求HARQ进程挂起,此时,不再如现有技术那样立刻进行重传调度,而是等待接收第二基站转发的第一上行数据直至第二时刻,因而联合接收解调译码的时刻就由现有技术中的第一时刻延迟到了本发明实施例中的第二时刻,从而使得由于基站间数据交互时延较长导致第二基站转发的第一上行数据没有在第一时刻之前及时到达第一基站100时,第一基站100有较多的时间进行联合接收解调译码,而由于联合接收解调译码的正确率高于第一基站100单独解调译码的正确率,因而提高了单位时间内传输成功的UE上行数据量,提升了UE的上行速率,解决了由于基站间数据交互时延较长,从而无法进行联合接收解调译码导致的UE上行速率低的问题。
本发明实施例提供了一种小区上行协作的方法,如图2所示,该方法可以包括以下步骤:
201、第一基站确定在第一时刻之前是否接收到第二基站转发的用户设备UE发送的第一上行数据,UE的服务小区归属于第一基站,UE的协作小区归属于第二基站。
其中,UE的服务小区是指为UE提供语音、数据等各种通信业务服务的主服务小区,协作小区是UE主服务小区的相邻小区,用于通过与主服务小区交互从UE接收的上行数据,以实现多个基站数据的联合接收。这里的UE是同时向第一基站和第二基站发送相同的上行数据的,第二基站可以有一个或多个,以提高UE的上行速率。
202、若第一基站确定否,则第一基站对从UE接收到的第二上行数据进行解调译码,若得到错误的解调译码结果,则第一基站将混合自动重传请求HARQ进程挂起,并确定在第一时刻与第二时刻之间是否接收到第二基站转发的第一上行数据。
其中,解调译码包括基站从接收到UE的上行数据开始,经过下变频、解扰、解码等一系列处理操作,恢复原有用数据信息的过程。
混合自动重传请求HARQ进程用于在解调译码得到错误结果时立即进行重传调度,若将该进程挂起,则禁止立即进行重传调度,此时UE保持当前所处状态而不发送上行数据,直至第一基站发送UL-Grant指示信息至UE,UE才进行数据的重传或新传。
具体的,当第一基站在第一时刻之前没有接收到第二基站转发的UE发送的第一上行数据时,第一基站会对从UE接收到的第二上行数据进行单独解调译码,如果解调译码得到正确的解调译码结果,则第一基站向UE发送确认信号ACK及UL-Grant指示信息,指示UE继续发送下一个数据。其中,由于第一基站当前可能存在多个需要调度的UE,当前UE需要按顺序等待第一基站的调度,因而第一基站可能在向当前UE发送确认信号ACK后立即发送UL-Grant指示信息,第一基站也可能在向当前UE发送确认信号ACK一段时间后,再发送UL-Grant指示信息;如果单独解调译码得到错误的解调译码结果,则第一基站不发送非确认信号(Negative Acknowledgement,NACK)信号,也就是不触发UE进行数据重传,而是仍然向UE发送ACK信号以通知UE第一基站已接收到UE发送的上行数据,即第一基站将自动重传请求HARQ进程挂起,禁止UE立即进行数据重传,但第一基站发送ACK的同时,不向UE发送上述HARQ进程的UL-Grant指示信息指示UE发送新的数据,对于UE来说,UE接收不到第一基站发送的UL-Grant指示信息,就不会进行数据新传,也就是不仅让UE不进行数据重传,也不进行数据新传。
其中,若第一基站对从UE接收到的第二上行数据进行单独解调译码得到错误的解调译码结果,则现有技术中,第一基站向UE发送非确认信号NACK及UL-Grant指示信息进行重传调度,或者第一基站不向UE发送任何信息,这样UE的物理混合自动重传指示信道(Physical Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel,PHICH)信道检测结果就会确认为NACK,从而使得UE发起非自适应重传进行数据重传。在本发明实施例中,第一基站将自动重传请求HARQ进程挂起,此 时UE保持当前所处状态而不发送上行数据,且第一基站延长等待第二基站转发的UE第一上行数据至第二时刻,从而延长了第一基站等待接收第二基站转发的第一上行数据的时间,即为第一基站提供了更多的时间进行联合接收解调译码以提高解调译码结果的正确率,从而提高单位时间内UE传输成功的上行数据量,提升了UE的上行速率。
示例性的,在频分双工(Frequency Division Duplexing,FDD)系统中,第一基站对上行数据的接收时刻与解调译码开始时刻之间的间隔小于0.5ms,而解调译码的时间较长,一般大于2ms。这里的第二时刻与第一时刻之间的时间间隔可以为8ms。
203、若在第一时刻与第二时刻之间接收到第一上行数据,其中,第二时刻晚于第一时刻,则第一基站对第一上行数据和第二上行数据进行联合解调译码,并确定解调译码结果,或第一基站根据第二基站转发的第一数据确定解调译码结果,第一数据为第二基站对第一上行数据进行解调译码后的数据。
其中,第一数据可以包括第二基站对第一上行数据解调译码后的数据比特和结果指示信息。
若在第一时刻与第二时刻之间,一旦有第二基站(可以是一个或多个)转发的第一上行数据到达,则第一基站就对从UE接收到的第二上行数据和第二基站转发的第一上行数据进行联合解调译码,并确定解调译码结果。
确定解调译码结果是否正确的方式可以有多种,例如,第一基站可以将对UE上行数据解调译码后得到的校验码与UE上行数据中携带的校验码相比较,若与UE上行数据中携带的校验码相同,则可以将标志位置为1,以表示解调译码结果正确;若与UE上行数据中携带的校验码不同,则可以将标志位置为0,以表示解调译码结果错误。
可选地,第一基站对第一上行数据和第二上行数据进行联合解调译码,并确定解调译码结果包括:如果第二基站在接收到UE发 送的第一上行数据之后,没有对上行数据进行解调译码,这时第一基站对从UE接收到的第二上行数据和第二基站转发的第一上行数据进行联合解调译码;若解调译码正确,则第一基站确定解调译码结果正确,若解调译码错误,则第一基站确定解调译码结果错误。或者,若第一基站对从UE接收到的第二上行数据和第二基站转发的第一上行数据进行联合解调译码得到正确的解调译码结果,则第一基站也可以将步骤202中得到的错误的解调译码结果更新为正确的解调译码结果,并确定解调译码结果正确。
可选地,第一基站根据第二基站转发的第一数据确定解调译码结果包括:若第二基站对第一上行数据解调译码正确,结果指示信息指示解调译码正确,则第一基站确定解调译码结果正确;若第二基站对第一上行数据解调译码错误,结果指示信息指示解调译码错误,则第一基站确定解调译码结果错误。或者,若第二基站对第一上行数据解调译码正确,结果指示信息指示解调译码正确,则第一基站也可以将步骤202中得到的错误的解调译码结果更新为正确的解调译码结果,并确定解调译码结果正确。
这样一来,若第一基站在第二时刻后确定解调译码结果正确,则发送UL-Grant指示信息指示UE进行数据新传;若第一基站在第二时刻后确定解调译码结果错误,则发送UL-Grant指示信息指示UE进行数据重传。
这里确定的解调译码结果错误可以包括:当第一时刻对第一基站从UE接收到的第二上行数据进行单独解调译码得到错误的解调译码结果,且第二时刻之前第二基站转发的第一上行数据仍然没有到达第一基站,则第一基站最终确定解调译码结果错误;或者第二时刻之前第二基站转发的第一上行数据到达第一基站,但第二基站转发的是对第一上行数据解调译码后的第一数据,且第二基站对第一上行数据解调译码错误,结果指示信息指示解调译码错误,则第一基站最终确定解调译码结果错误;或第一基站接收到的是第二基站转发的未经解调译码的第一上行数据,但第一基站对从第二基站 接收到的第一上行数据和直接从UE接收到的第二上行数据进行联合解调译码,仍然得到错误的解调译码结果,则第一基站最终确定解调译码结果错误。
本发明实施例提供的一种小区上行协作的方法,UE的服务小区归属于第一基站,协作小区归属于第二基站,当第一时刻之前第一基站没有接收到第二基站转发的第一上行数据,且第一基站对从UE接收到的第二上行数据进行解调译码得到错误的解调译码结果时,将混合自动重传请求HARQ进程挂起,此时,不再如现有技术那样立刻进行重传调度,而是等待接收第二基站转发的第一上行数据直至第二时刻,因而联合接收解调译码的时刻就由现有技术中的第一时刻延迟到了本发明实施例中的第二时刻,从而使得由于基站间数据交互时延较长导致第二基站转发的第一上行数据没有在第一时刻之前及时到达第一基站时,第一基站有较多的时间进行联合接收解调译码,而由于联合接收解调译码的正确率高于第一基站单独解调译码的正确率,因而提高了单位时间内传输成功的UE上行数据量,提升了UE的上行速率,解决了由于基站间数据交互时延较长,从而无法进行联合接收解调译码导致的UE上行速率低的问题。
下面将结合具体实施例对UE发送上行数据的过程中小区上行协作的方法进行详细描述。
本发明实施例以LTE系统中的基站eNB及用户设备UE进行说明。其中,第一基站eNB为UE服务小区归属的基站0,第二基站eNB可以为UE协作小区归属的基站1~K(K≥1)中的一个或多个,如图3所示,具体步骤可以包括:
301、第一eNB根据UE的业务需求进行介质访问控制(Media Access Control,MAC)层调度。
例如,这里的调度可以是为UE发送上行数据进行资源分配。
302、第一eNB根据UE发送的测量报告确定UE的协作小区。
示例性的,当第一eNB为UE分配好资源后,UE便向第一eNB发送测量报告,以使第一eNB根据该测量报告确定UE的协作小区, 该测量报告可以包括多个小区的下行参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Receiving Power,RSRP),即承载下行参考信号的所有资源粒子上接收到的信号功率的平均值,用于表示相邻小区无线信号的强度,第一eNB可以根据UE上报的RSRP测量结果选择测量邻区中下行RSRP满足要求(例如与服务小区RSRP差值在指定门限值内)的相邻小区作为协作小区。
303、第一eNB向协作小区归属的第二eNB发送管理信息。
其中,该管理信息可以包括第一eNB中接入UE的调度信息、小区级配置信息等,用于使第二eNB接收并解析该管理信息,以根据解析结果向第一eNB转发从UE接收到的上行数据。
304、第一eNB向UE发送控制信息,用以指示UE重传数据或新传数据。
在第一eNB确认了UE的协作小区归属的基站后,第一eNB可以通过物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)或PHICH向UE发送控制信息。其中,PHICH中可以承载ACK信号或NACK信号,用以指示UE重传或新传数据。PDCCH中可以承载其它的调度信息或控制信息。
305、UE同时向第一eNB及第二eNB发送相同的上行数据。
该步骤中,UE在发送上行数据的过程中,可以以每个传输时间间隔(Transmission Time Interval Bundling,TTI)向第一eNB及第二eNB发送一个相同的数据,也就是说每个TTI时间内UE发送的是不同的上行数据。
但为了提高当前数据的传输成功率,可选的,可以采用时隙绑定TTI Bundling技术,使得UE进入TTI Bundling状态,即UE可以在连续若干个TTI(例如,可以是4个)时间内,同时向第一eNB及第二eNB发送相同的数据或者同一数据的不同衍生数据。
具体地,第一eNB可以在与UE建立连接时就向UE发送信号,用以指定UE进入TTI Bundling状态;也可以通过在连接后的通信过程中获取UE发送上行数据时的传输质量,并根据传输质量确定 是否向UE发送指示信号,指示UE进入TTI Bundling状态以发送上行数据。其中,该传输质量可以包括UE的信噪比SNR、信干噪比SINR或调制与编码策略MCS等,也可以包括其它参数,这里不进行限定。示例性的,在UE与基站之间进行语音业务传输时,当UE的SNR或者SINR小于某一阈值时,说明混在语音信号里的噪声大,声音回放的音质低,这时第一基站可以指示UE以TTI Bundling状态发送上行数据,以提高UE传输成功的上行数据量。而MCS可以说明在当前的调制解调译码方式下UE的数据传输速率,因此,当传输速率低于某一阈值时,可以向UE发送指示信号,以指示UE进入TTI Bundling状态发送上行数据。
306、第二eNB在解析第一eNB发送的管理信息后,将从UE接收到的第一上行数据转发给第一eNB。
示例性的,如果第二eNB将从UE将接收到的第一上行数据转发给第一eNB所用的时间为t ms,则第一eNB接收到第二eNB转发的第一上行数据的时刻比第一eNB直接从UE接收到第二上行数据的时刻延迟了t ms。
其中,一种可能实现的方式是:第二eNB可以直接将从UE接收到的第一上行数据转发给第一eNB,这里若采用TTI Bundling技术,第二eNB可以将接收到的每个TTI的第一上行数据转发给第一eNB,也可以将多个TTI的第一上行数据进行合并后再进行转发;第二种可能实现的方式是:第二eNB还可以将处理后的第一上行数据发送给第一eNB。本发明实施例对第二eNB具体采用哪种方式将数据发送给第一eNB不做限定。
具体地,针对第二种可能实现的方式,第二eNB可以将对该第一上行数据进行解调译码后的第一数据发送给第一eNB,该第一数据可以包括第二基站对上行数据解调译码后的数据比特和结果指示信息等。这是因为,一方面,由于第二eNB直接转发第一上行数据的数据量大,可以达到Gbps量级,因而对基站间传输网的带宽要求较高;另一方面,当传输网带宽能力受限时,第二eNB可能会出现 传输错误,或不能将第一上行数据及时传输给第一eNB,从而不能及时进行联合解调,也会降低第一基站对UE上行数据进行解调译码时解调译码结果的正确率,降低UE的上行速率。而将解调译码后的第一数据发送给第一eNB,可以将基站间传输网带宽的要求降至未经解调译码之前的1/10~1/8,从而降低了对基站间传输网的带宽要求。
或者,针对第二种可能实现的方式,第二eNB也可以对第一上行数据进行压缩处理后,再转发给第一eNB,这样与第二eNB直接转发第一上行数据相比,该方式可以将对基站间的交互带宽的要求降至未经压缩处理前的1/2。
307、第一eNB确定在第一时刻之前是否接收到第二eNB转发的第一上行数据,若确定是,即第一eNB接收到第二eNB转发的第一上行数据,则执行步骤308;若确定否,即第一eNB没有收到第二eNB转发的第一上行数据,则执行步骤309。
308、第一eNB对从UE接收到的第二上行数据和第二eNB转发的第一上行数据进行联合解调译码,并确定解调译码结果,或第一eNB根据第二eNB转发的第一数据确定解调译码结果,而后执行步骤315或步骤316。
其中,第一数据为第二基站对第一上行数据进行解调译码后的数据,第一数据可以包括第二基站对第一上行数据解调译码后的数据比特和结果指示信息。
在步骤308中,第一eNB可以根据第一eNB从UE直接接收到的第二上行数据和第二eNB转发的第一上行数据进行联合接收解调译码,若解调译码正确,则第一基站确定解调译码结果正确;若解调译码错误,则第一基站确定解调译码结果错误,该联合接收可以在物理层进行。
或者,第一eNB也可以根据第二eNB转发的第一数据来确定解调译码结果。具体的,若第二基站对第一上行数据解调译码正确,结果指示信息指示解调译码正确,则第一基站确定解调译码结果正 确;若第二基站对第一上行数据解调译码错误,结果指示信息指示解调译码错误,则第一基站确定解调译码结果错误,这时就需要第一eNB对从UE直接接收到的第二上行数据进行单独解调译码,并确定解调译码结果是否正确。其中,由于第二eNB可以有多个,所以第一eNB在接收到第二eNB转发的第一数据时,需要对第一数据中的解调译码结果进行合并操作,如果确定有任一第二eNB得到的是正确的解调译码结果,则第一eNB确定解调译码结果正确。该合并操作可以不局限于物理层,也可以在数据链路层或其它层中进行。
其中,第一eNB确定解调译码结果是否正确的具体方式可以有多种,示例性的,第一eNB可以将对UE上行数据解调译码后得到的校验码与UE上行数据中携带的校验码相比较,若与UE上行数据中携带的校验码相同,则可以将标志位置为1,以表示解调译码结果正确;若与UE上行数据中携带的校验码不同,则可以将标志位置为0,以表示解调译码结果错误。
309、第一eNB对从UE接收到的第二上行数据进行单独解调译码,并确定解调译码结果是否正确,若确定解调译码结果正确,则执行步骤316;若确定解调译码结果错误,则执行步骤310。
310、第一eNB将混合自动重传请求HARQ进程挂起。
其中,混合自动重传请求HARQ进程是指在解调译码得到错误结果时,第一eNB对UE进行上行数据重传调度。若步骤309中的解调译码结果错误,则第一eNB将自动重传请求HARQ进程挂起,禁止第一eNB对UE进行上行数据重传调度,以便于延迟等待第二eNB转发的第一上行数据。
示例性的,在第一eNB对从UE接收到的第二上行数据进行单独解调译码,得到错误解调译码结果时,第一eNB不发送NACK信号给UE,而是通过上行控制信道PHICH向UE发送ACK信号以通知UE第一eNB接收到UE发送的上行数据,但不向UE发送上述HARQ进程的UL-Grant指示信息,以禁止UE发送新的上行数据。由于对于UE来说,当UE接收到基站发送的ACK信号和UL-Grant 指示信息指示其发送下一个数据时,UE才会新传数据至基站,而如果本实施例中第一eNB不向UE发送上述HARQ进程的UL-Grant指示信息,则UE就不向第一eNB发送新的数据,也就是不仅让UE不进行数据重传,也不进行数据新传。
311、第一eNB确定在第一时刻与第二时刻之间是否接收到第二eNB转发的第一上行数据,该第二时刻晚于第一时刻,若确定是,即第一eNB接收到该第一上行数据,则执行步骤312,若确定否,即第一eNB没有收到该第一上行数据,则执行步骤315。
在步骤311中,增设了第二时刻来确定是否进行联合接收解调译码,该第二时刻晚于第一时刻,与现有技术只设有第一时刻来确定是否进行联合接收解调译码相比,当基站间数据交互时延较长时,增设第二时刻,可以为第一eNB提供更多的时间进行联合接收解调译码,而联合解调译码的正确率高于单独解调译码的正确率,从而提高了解调译码性能,降低了UE上行数据的重传率,提升了UE的上行速率,这样就可以解决由于基站间数据交互时延较长,从而无法进行联合接收解调译码导致的UE上行速率低的问题。
若不采用TTI Bundling技术,举例来说,第二时刻可以比第一时刻晚10ms,具体的设定可以根据基站处理能力来设定。
若采用TTI Bundling技术,由于TTI Bundling状态下在第一eNB向UE发送ACK信号之后与发送UL-Grant指示信息之前的时间间隔T1(例如,可以是4ms),大于非TTI Bundling状态下第一eNB向UE发送ACK信号之后与发送UL-Grant指示信息之前的时间间隔T2(T2值很小,几乎可以忽略),因而可以延长第一eNB等待第二eNB转发的第一上行数据到来的时间。所以,第二时刻的设定可以有两种:时刻A和时刻B,当UE没有进入TTI Bundling状态传输上行数据时,以时刻A为第二时刻,当UE进入TTI Bundling状态传输上行数据时,以时刻B为第二时刻。例如,时刻B可以比时刻A晚4ms,这样可以为第一eNB提供更多的时间等待接收第二eNB转发的第一上行数据。
需要说明的是,由于在TTI Bundling状态下,第一eNB向UE发送ACK信号之后与发送UL-Grant指示信息之前的时间间隔T1较长(例如,4ms),因而第一eNB也可以不将HARQ进程挂起,而在时间间隔T1内设定第二时刻,这里第二时刻与第一时刻之间的时间间隔可以为4ms或者小于4ms。而若在TTI Bundling状态下,将HARQ进程挂起,再加上时间间隔T1,就会使得第二时刻与第一时刻之间的时间间隔可以更长,例如可以为12ms。
312、第一eNB对第二上行数据和第一上行数据进行联合解调译码,并确定解调译码结果,或第一eNB根据第二eNB转发的第一数据确定解调译码结果。
其中,第一eNB确定解调译码结果的过程可以参见步骤308。
313、若步骤312中的解调译码正确,则第一eNB确定解调译码结果正确,执行步骤316。
或者,若步骤312中的解调译码正确,第一eNB也可以将第一时刻解调译码得到的错误的解调译码结果更新为正确的解调译码结果,并确定解调译码结果正确,而后执行步骤316。
314、若步骤312中的解调译码错误,则第一eNB确定解调译码结果错误,执行步骤315。
315、当确定解调译码结果错误时,第一eNB上报解调译码结果错误至MAC层,并发送UL-Grant指示信息至UE,指示UE进行数据重传。
316、当确定解调译码结果正确时,第一eNB上报解调译码结果正确至MAC层,并发送UL-Grant指示信息至UE,指示UE进行数据新传。
本发明实施例在UE发送上行数据的过程中小区上行协作的方法流程图可以参见图3,小区上行协作方法信今与数据交互流程图可以参见图4。
本发明实施例提供一种小区上行协作的方法,当基站间数据交互时延较长,且第一eNB对从UE接收到的第二上行数据进行单独 解调译码得到错误的解调译码结果时,不再如现有技术那样立即进行重传调度,而是通过将自动重传请求HARQ进程挂起,禁止UE立即重传上行数据,从而当第二基站转发的第一上行数据没有在第一时刻之前及时到达第一基站时,可以为第一eNB提供时间在第二时刻之前继续等待接收第二eNB转发的第一上行数据,并进行联合接收解调译码,又由于联合接收解调译码的正确率高于第一基站单独解调译码的正确率,从而提高了单位时间内传输成功的UE上行数据量,提升了UE的上行速率;而采用TTI Bundling技术,可以在第二时刻之前提供更多的时间等待接收第二eNB转发的第一上行数据,并进行联合接收解调译码。因此,本发明实施例可以解决由于基站间数据交互时延较长从而无法进行联合接收解调译码导致的UE上行速率低的问题。
参见图5,本发明实施例还提供了一种第一基站500,该基站500包括:处理器501、发送器502、接收器503、总线504和存储器505,其中,存储器505用于存储指令和数据,总线504用于连接处理器501、发送器502、接收器503和存储器505,其中该处理器501执行该指令用于确定在第一时刻之前接收器503是否接收到第二基站转发的用户设备UE发送的第一上行数据,UE的服务小区归属于第一基站500,UE的协作小区归属于第二基站;若处理器501执行该指令确定否,则对从UE接收到的第二上行数据进行解调译码,若得到错误的解调译码结果,则将混合自动重传请求HARQ进程挂起;处理器501执行该指令确定在第一时刻与第二时刻之间接收器503是否接收到第二基站转发的第一上行数据;若处理器501执行该指令确定在第一时刻与第二时刻之间接收到第一上行数据,第二时刻晚于第一时刻,则对第一上行数据和第二上行数据进行联合解调译码,并确定解调译码结果,或根据第二基站转发的第一数据确定解调译码结果,第一数据为第二基站对第一上行数据进行解调译码后的数据。
在本发明实施例中,可选地,该处理器501执行该指令还用于: 获取UE发送上行数据时的传输质量,上行数据包括第一上行数据和第二上行数据,传输质量包括UE的信噪比SNR、信干噪比SINR或调制与编码策略MCS。
在本发明实施例中,可选地,该发送器502执行该指令还用于:根据处理器501获取的传输质量向UE发送指示信号,指示信号用于使UE进入时隙绑定TTI Bundling状态以发送上行数据。
在本发明实施例中,可选地,该发送器502执行该指令用于将混合自动重传请求HARQ进程挂起,包括:向UE发送确认信号ACK,并不向UE发送上述HARQ进程的新传指示信息,新传指示信息用于指示UE继续发送下一个上行数据。
在本发明实施例中,可选地,该处理器501执行该指令用于对第一上行数据和第二上行数据进行联合解调译码,并确定解调译码结果,包括:
对从UE接收到的第二上行数据和第二基站转发的第一上行数据进行联合解调译码;
若解调译码正确,则确定解调译码结果正确;若解调译码错误,则确定解调译码结果错误。
在本发明实施例中,可选地,该处理器501执行该指令用于根据第二基站转发的第一数据确定解调译码结果,其中,第一数据包括第二基站对第一上行数据解调译码后的数据比特和结果指示信息,包括:
若第二基站对第一上行数据解调译码正确,结果指示信息指示解调译码正确,则确定解调译码结果正确;
若第二基站对第一上行数据解调译码错误,结果指示信息指示解调译码错误,则确定解调译码结果错误。
在本发明实施例中,可选地,该发送器502执行该指令还可以用于:若在第二时刻后,第一基站500确定解调译码结果错误,则向UE发送重传指示信息,重传指示信息用于指示UE重传上行数据;若在第二时刻后,第一基站500确定解调译码结果正确,则向UE 发送新传指示信息。
因此,本发明实施例提供的基站,UE的服务小区归属于第一基站500,协作小区归属于第二基站,当第一时刻之前第一基站500没有接收到第二基站转发的第一上行数据,且第一基站500对从UE接收到的第二上行数据进行解调译码得到错误的解调译码结果时,将混合自动重传请求HARQ进程挂起,此时,不再如现有技术那样立刻进行重传调度,而是等待接收第二基站转发的第一上行数据直至第二时刻,因而联合接收解调译码的时刻就由现有技术中的第一时刻延迟到了本发明实施例中的第二时刻,从而使得由于基站间数据交互时延较长导致第二基站转发的第一上行数据没有在第一时刻之前及时到达第一基站500时,第一基站500有较多的时间进行联合接收解调译码,而由于联合接收解调译码的正确率高于第一基站500单独解调译码的正确率,因而提高了单位时间内传输成功的UE上行数据量,提升了UE的上行速率,解决了由于基站间数据交互时延较长,从而无法进行联合接收解调译码导致的UE上行速率低的问题。
