Abstract

Description
本发明实施例涉及通信装置及其方法,尤其涉及通过物理上行控制信道的上行控制信息发送装置、接收装置及其方法。
在机器类型通信(Machine Type Communication,MTC)通信系统中,由于终端设备,如用户设备(User Equipment,UE)数量众多,所以降低终端的复杂度或成本是一个重要的需求。
为了满足这种需求,终端所能支持的信号的带宽通常小于系统最大的系统带宽(或最大的信道带宽,或传输带宽配置所配置的最大带宽)或不大于特定的系统带宽(或特定的信道带宽,或传输带宽配置所配置的特定带宽)。
以长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)通信系统为例,其规定了1.4MHz,3MHz,5MHz,10MHz,15MHz,20MHz 6种系统带宽。系统可以在这6中系统带宽中确定所需的系统带宽。例如,当LTE系统中的所确定的系统带宽是20MHz时,若某个终端仅支持5MHz的带宽。显然该终端的带宽不能覆盖整个系统带宽20MHz。
现有技术中并未考虑到终端能力受限的情况。所以当受限终端,即低复杂度或者低成本终端,所支持的带宽不能覆盖整个系统带宽时,会导致终端的信号无法兼容系统带宽。

本发明主要应用于LTE系统或高级的长期演进(LTE Advanced,LTE-A)系统。本发明也可以应用于其它的通信系统,只要该通信系统中存在实体可以发送上行控制信息,该通信系统中存在其它实体可以接收上行控制信息。
图1示出了一个由基站和UE1~UE6组成的通信系统,在该通信系统中,UE1~UE6中的至少一个可以发送上行信息给基站,基站可以接收UE1~UE6中的至少一个发送的上行信息。此外,UE4~UE6也组成一个通信系统,在该通信系统中,UE4或者UE6可以发送上行信息给UE5,UE5可以接收UE4或者UE6发送的上行信息,UE5还可以进一步发送上行信息给基站。
在传统的LTE系统中,系统通过物理资源块(Physical Resource Block,PRB)进行数据的传输。系统资源在频率上可以被划分成子载波。子载波的间隔可以是15KHz。
图2示出了一个上行子帧所占用的资源,特别示出了受限终端所支持的带宽与系统带宽的关系。纵坐标为频率,横坐标为时间。系统资源在时间上被划分为无线帧(也叫系统帧)。通常,一个无线帧包含10个子帧,一个子帧长1ms,每个子帧包含两个时隙。系统带宽在频率上划分为个PRB,nPRB为PRB的索引。一个PRB占据180KHz的频率资源,即一个PRB的频率资源包含12个子载波。以受限终端为低复杂度或低成本的用户设备为例,假设,该UE所能支持的发送信号带宽为1.4MHz或N(N是正整数,如N=6)个PRB。其对应的系统带宽为20MHz,显然,该UE所支持的带宽不能覆盖系统带宽。
系统与终端进行通信时可以划分至少一个子带。子带包含了一个或多个频率资源。如,一个子带可以包含一个或多个PRB,也可以包含一个或多个子载波。子带所包含的频率资源的频率宽度和频率资源位置可以是预先确定或由系统根
据现场条件配置的。通常,一个子带占用的频率宽度不超过终端支持的信号带宽。在一个子帧中,一个受限终端只能在一个子带中进行信号的接收或发送。所述子带又可以称作窄带。
以下针对上行控制信息进行说明。
在传统LTE系统中,UE通过物理上行控制信道(Physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)发送上行控制信息。传统的PUCCH在频率上占用1个PRB的频率宽度,这1个PRB可以是系统带宽边缘的PRB。在同一个子帧中的不同时隙中,PUCCH映射的频率资源具有两个不相同的频率位置。所以,当同一个子帧的第一个时隙占据系统带宽边缘一端的PRB,而另一个时隙占据系统带宽边缘另一端的PRB时,该子帧就使用了整个系统带宽两端的频率资源。
图3为传统的PUCCH的物理资源映射的示意图。当m取值不同时,PUCCH被映射到不相同的PRB。m是根据PUCCH资源索引获得的参数。可以看出,对于为m=0的情况,时隙0和时隙1分别被映射到了系统带宽的两端。而对于受限UE而言,其所支持的带宽有限,而不能覆盖整个系统带宽,使得受限UE无法在传统LTE系统中传输上行控制信息。在这种情况下,受限UE若要发送PUCCH承载的信息,就必须在一个子帧的不同时隙之间进行发送信号的子带的调整,这会带来额外的复杂度。考虑到发送信号的子带的调整时间,UE在调整时间之内无法发送数据,这会造成在调整时间之内的资源的浪费。另外,如果兼容受限UE的有限带宽,则系统仅使用系统带宽的一部分来进行数据传输,造成系统带宽不能充分利用,影响了上行数据的峰值速率或者上行数据的接收性能。
为了解决上述问题,本发明的实施例提供一种上行信息发送、接收方案,使得基站可以在整个系统带宽中为受限终端合理地调度资源,并充分利用系统带宽。
本发明的所有实施例中所述无线资源控制信令可以是无线资源控制公共信
令和/或无线资源控制专有信令。无线资源控制公共信令可以是系统信息、系统信息块、主信息块中的一种或多种。媒体接入控制信令可以是媒体接入控制的控制元素。物理层信令可以是携带控制信息的控制信道。物理上行控制信道用于承载上行控制信息。所述上行控制信息可以是肯定应答(Acknowledgement,ACK)信息、否定应答(Negative Acknowledgment,Nack)信息、调度请求(Scheduling Request,SR)、信道状态信息(Channel State Information,CSI)、信道质量指示(Channel quality indicator,CQI)、秩指示(rank indicator,RI)、预编码矩阵指示(Precoding Matrix Indicator,PMI)中的至少一种。所述物理上行控制信道PUCCH还可以是增强的物理上行控制信道(Enhanced Physical Uplink Control channel,ePUCCH),窄带物理上行控制信道(Narrow Band PUCCH,NBPUCCH),机器类型物理上行控制信道(Machine Type PUCCH,MPUCCH),或者其他承载上行控制信息的信道。
第一实施例
本实例提供一种上行控制信息发送装置,其中所述发送装置所支持的带宽小于系统带宽,所述系统带宽中包含多个频率资源。所述发送装置所支持的带宽所能容纳的频率资源是系统带宽包含多个频率资源中的部分频率资源。在一个子帧,所述发送装置只能在系统带宽包含多个频率资源中的部分频率资源发送上行信息。通常所述发送装置可以是用户终端,比如用户设备(UE)。系统带宽为系统所支持的所有频率资源的频带宽度,所述系统带宽被分为多个频率资源。所述频率资源可以为一个物理资源块(physical resource block,PRB)在频率上占据的资源,或者所述频率资源也可以为子载波。虽然本实施例是以上行控制信息说明技术方案,但是本领域技术人员可以理解,基于相同的原理和概念,本实施例的方案同样可以应用于其他上行信息的发送。
如图13所示,所述发送装置100包括:

通过设定第一参量p1的值,进而确定对应的频率资源映射,并发送上行控制信息,可以将所发送的上行控制信息限制在发送装置所支持的带宽之内,从而保证了受限终端传输上行控制信息,并且受限终端传输上行控制信息不总是在系统带宽的中心,充分保证了上行数据的峰值速率或上行数据的接收性能。
所述处理单元,确定第一参量p1可以有多种方式。
第一种方式为,所述处理单元,用于根据物理上行控制信道资源索引确定第二参量m*,所述第二参量小于等于所述第一数量;再根据第二参量确定第一参量。
所述处理单元,用于根据物理上行控制信道资源索引确定第二参量m*,可以包括:所述处理单元,用于根据下述参量中的至少一种确定物理上行控制信道资源索引:无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令包含的参量、物理层信令包含的参量、承载下行控制信息的物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)的第一个控制信道元素(control channel element,CCE)的序号、承载下行控制信息的增强的物理下行控制信道(enhanced physical downlink control channel,EPDCCH)的第一个增强的控制信道元素(enhanced control channel element,ECCE)的序号,承载下行控制信息的机器类型通信的物理下行控制信道的第一个控制信道元素的序号;所述处理单元,用于根据所述物理上行控制信道资源索引确定第二参量m*,所述第二参量小于等于所述第一数量。
可选的,所述PDCCH或者EPDCCH还可以是其它的用于承载下行控制信息的信道,比如是承载下行控制信息的机器类型通信的物理下行控制信道。所述CCE或者ECCE还可以是构成其它的用于承载下行控制信息的信道的元素,比如是构成机器类型通信的物理下行控制信道的控制信道元素。
例如,所述处理单元,用于根据物理上行控制信道资源索引确定第二参量m*的一种方式为:
其中,是所述物理上行控制信道资源索引。可选的,是由无线资源控制(Radio resource control,RRC)信令配置的参数,或者是由RRC信令配置的参数以及构成物理下行控制信道的第一个(最低的)控制信道元素的序号计算出来的参数。所述物理下行控制信道可以是PDCCH,或者EPDCCH,或者是其它的用于承载下行控制信息的信道。所述控制信道元素可以是CCE,或者ECCE,或者是构成其它的用于承载下行控制信息的信道的元素。所述下行控制信息包含物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared channel,PDSCH)的资源调度信息,所述物理上行控制信道承载了对所述PDSCH的应答或者否定应答信息。表示每个时隙用于物理上行控制信道格式2/2a/2b传输的可用PRB个数。表示在用于物理上行控制信道格式1/1a/1b和格式2/2a/2b混合映射的PRB中,用于物理上行控制信道格式1/1a/1b的循环移位的个数。是RRC信令配置的参数。是PRB在频域上包含的子载波的个数。
为了使得所述第二参量小于等于所述第一数量,物理上行控制信道资源索
引的最大值需要小于某一特定数值,比如最大值小于2047。
所述处理单元,用于根据第二参量确定第一参量可以使用如下公式:
或者,p1=m*, (2)
其中,NNB为所述第一数量,m*为所述第二参量,p1为所述第一参量,ns是时隙序号,nsf是子帧序号。表示向下取整,X是和ns、nsf、无线帧序号、发送上行控制信息的起始子帧到当前子帧之间包含的上行子帧数中的至少一个有关的参数。例如X是nsf。又例如X是10×SFN+nsf,SFN是无线帧序号。又例如X是发送上行控制信息的起始子帧到当前子帧之间包含的子帧数或者上行子帧数。Y是预先定义的参数,或者Y是和物理上行控制信道跳频粒度有关的参
数,或者Y是和物理上行控制信道跳频周期有关的参数。物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源可以发生变化,称作物理上行控制信道跳频。物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源每G个子帧变化一次,称作物理上行控制信道跳频粒度。物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源的变化规律每H个子帧重复一次,则H个子帧称作物理上行控制信道跳频周期。例如Y是物理上行控制信道跳频粒度。物理上行控制信道跳频可以发生在物理上行控制信道进行映射或者所述发送单元发送上行控制信息的多个子帧中。即在物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源发生变化前后的多个子帧,所述发送单元发送相同的上行控制信息。X和Y确定了物理上行控制信道跳频的时刻。
例如,参考公式(1),当UE所支持的发送带宽在频率上只能容纳6个PRB时,UE所支持的发送带宽所能容纳的频率资源的个数是6,NNB=6。基站通过选择RRC信令配置的取值、选择构成PDCCH的CCE、选择构成EPDCCH的ECCE中的至少一种方法使得计算出来的m的值的取值范围是0~5,从而的取值范围是0~2,的取值范围是3~5,UE确定的第一参量的取值不大于6。
图4示例性示出了根据公式(1)获得的频率资源和时隙的关系。其中阴影部分为m*=0时的物理上行控制信道的物理资源。
图5示例性示出了根据公式(2)获得的频率资源和时隙的关系。其中阴影部分为m*=0时的物理上行控制信道的物理资源。图5和公式(2)示出了根据物理上行控制信道资源索引确定第一参量p1。
图6示例性示出了根据公式(3)获得的频率资源和时隙的关系。其中阴影部分为m*=0时的物理上行控制信道的物理资源。

上述确定第一参量p1的方式,可以将所发送的上行控制信息限制在发送装置所支持的带宽之内,从而保证了受限设备传输上行控制信息,充分利用了上行数据的峰值速率或保证了上行数据的接收性能。
为了更明确的说明确定频率资源信息的方式,可以引入子带的概念。但是,
本发明并不局限于必须使用子带才能确定频率资源信息。可以理解,在一些特定的方式中,不使用子带的概念,同样可以将所使用的频率资源范围限定在一定的范围内,以产生相同的技术效果。

所述系统带宽被分为多个子带的索引为子带索引。本发明实施例以子带索引从0开始编号进行说明,子带索引也可以从1开始编号,其相应的物理上行控制信道的物理资源映射方法都属于本发明实施例的保护范围。所述系统带宽被分为多个频率资源的索引为宽带频率资源索引。所述宽带频率资源索引的取值范围是0~系统带宽包含的频率资源的个数-1。比如取值范围可以是所述宽带频率资源索引也可以从1开始编号,其相应的物理上行控制信道的物理资源映射方法都属于本发明实施例的保护范围。

以确定子带索引为例进行说明。预先定义的规则可以是子带索引NB_Idx=fun(nsf),其中fun(nsf)是和子帧序号nsf有关系的固定的函数,子帧序号nsf的范围是0~9。
或者,预先定义的规则是每T个子帧,子带的第一信息变化一次。T是子带变化周期T。子带变化周期T还可以称作子带变化的时间间隔。在从子带变化的初始子帧开始的T个子帧,子带的第一信息都和初始子带的第一信息相同,T+a个子帧子带的第一信息开始变化。a是固定的自然数。可选的,在T+1~T+a-1的子帧,发送装置不发送上行数据或者上行控制信息。或者,预先定义的规则是物理上行控制信道跳频时,子带的第一信息发生变化。在物理上行控制信道不发生跳频,即在跳频粒度之内,子带的第一信息不发生变化。每物理上行控制信道跳频周期个子帧,子带的第一信息的变化规律重复一次。
若子帧k的子带的第一信息发生变化,则可以根据子带的第一信息变化规则确定子带的第一信息。子带的第一信息变化规则为:NB_Idx_after=(NB_Idx_pre+SBoffset)mod Q,其中NB_Idx_pre为变化前的子带的第一信息,NB_Idx_after为变化后的子带的第一信息,SBoffset是子带的第一信息偏移量,Q为系统带宽中包含的子带个数或者频率资源个数。子带的第一信息变化规则还可以是子带的第一信息变化图样。所述子带的第一信息变化图样可以是系统预先定义的,或者所述处理单元通过接收无线资源控制信令、媒体接入控制信令、物理层信令中的至少一种确定的。所述子带的第一信息变化图样用于规定在每个子帧的子带的第一信息。
或者,在系统带宽中包含第一子带和第二子带,其中第一子带包含的频率资源和第二子带包含的频率资源的频率位置关于系统带宽中心频率对称。子带的第一信息变化规则还可以为:若变化前的子带的第一信息是第一子带的第一信息,则变化后的子带的第一信息是第二子带的第一信息;若变化前的子带的第一信息是第二子带的第一信息,则变化后的子带的第一信息是第一子带的第一信息。第一子带、第二子带以及子带变化的示意图如图24或25所示。

需要说明的是,在本实施例中,所述物理上行控制信道资源索引可以是一个子带中的物理上行控制信道资源的编号;也可以是多个子带中的物理上行控制信道资源的编号,即子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引。在一个子帧的一个频率资源上,可以有多个物理上行控制信道资源,所述多个物理上行控制信道资源是码分复用的。
或者,所述处理单元,用于确定子带的第一信息包括:所述处理单元,用于根据子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引确定子带的第一信息。所述处理单元,用于根据下述参量中的至少一种确定子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引:无线资源控制RRC信令包含的参量、物理层信令包含的参量、承载下行控制信息的物理下行控制信道PDCCH的第一个控制信道元素CCE的序号、承载下行控制信息的增强的物理下行控制信道EPDCCH的第一个增强的控制信道元素ECCE的序号、

可选的,所述处理单元,用于通过接收系统信息块SIB确定所述第一子带的第一信息;根据所述第一子带的第一信息确定所述第二子带的第一信息。
例如当所述第一子带的第一信息是第一子带的子带索引,所述第二子带的第一信息是第二子带的子带索引时,第一子带的子带索引和第二子带的子带索引是连续的自然数,则所述处理单元通过接收系统信息块确定第一子带的子带索引,便可根据第一子带的子带索引确定第二子带的子带索引为第一子带的子带索引加1或减1。比如第一子带的子带索引是偶数,第二子带的子带索引是大于第一子带的子带索引的最小的奇数,则所述处理单元通过接收系统信息块确定第一子带的子带索引,便可根据第一子带的子带索引确定第二子带的子带索引为第一子带的子带索引加1。
又例如当所述第一子带的第一信息是第一子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引,所述第二子带的第一信息是第二子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引时,所述处理单元通过接收系统信息块确定第一子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引为fNB1_min,便可根据第一子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引确定第二子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引为其中,是系统带宽中包含的频率资源的数量,NNB为所述第一数量。
通过上述方式,所述处理单元根据所述第一子带的第一信息确定所述第二子带的第一信息,就节省了基站用于配置所述第一子带的第一信息和所述第二子带的第一信息的信令开销。
或者,所述处理单元,用于确定子带的第一信息还可以采用如下方式:

可选的,当子带的第一信息发生变化时,第一参量p1也发生变化,即子带的第一信息和第一参量p1同时发生变化。
第一参量p1可以按照公式(5)或者公式(6)进行变化。此时,X和Y既确定了第一参量p1发生变化的时刻,也确定了子带的第一信息发生变化的时刻。
或者,所述处理单元,用于确定第一参量p1还包括:若子带的第一信息变化前所述处理单元确定的第一参量p1是p1_pre,则子带的第一信息变化时,所述处理单元更新确定的第一参量p1_after为NNB-1-p1_pre,其中NNB为所述第一数量。
子带的第一信息和第一参量p1同时发生变化的示意图如图24或25所示。
通过上述第一参量p1的变化方式,可以保证物理上行控制信道跳频前后映射的频率资源关于系统带宽中心对称,减少了上行控制信息传输对于上行数据传输频率资源的割裂,保证了上行数据的峰值速率或保证了上行数据的接收性能。

或者,所述子带的第一信息为子带包含的频率资源的最大宽带频率资源索引fNB_max,所述第一宽带频率资源索引nPRB_NB=fNB_max-NNB+1+p1。

所述第三频率资源索引的取值范围是0~所述用于物理上行控制信道映射的一个或者多个子带包含的频率资源的个数-1。比如取值范围可以是所述第三频率资源索引也可以从1开始编号,其相应的物理上行控制信道的物理资源映射方法都属于本发明实施例的保护范围。

所述处理单元,用于在至少一个子帧中的任意一个子帧的第一个时隙,将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第一频率资源信息指示的第一频率资源上;在所述至少一个子帧中的任意一个子帧的第二个时隙,将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第二频率资源信息指示的第二频率资源上,包括:
所述处理单元,用于在所述两个子帧中的前一个子帧的第一个时隙将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第一频率资源信息指示的第一频率资源上,在所述前一个子帧的另一个时隙不进行物理上行控制信道的映射;如图10所示,中间子帧的第一时隙映射了频率资源,在第二时隙不映射频率资源,或者
所述处理单元,用于在所述两个子帧中的后一个子帧的第二个时隙将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第二频率资源信息指示的第二频率资源上,在所述后一
个子帧的另一个时隙不进行物理上行控制信道的映射;或者
所述处理单元,用于在所述两个子帧中的前一个子帧的第一个时隙和第二个时隙分别将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第一频率资源信息指示的第一频率资源和所述第二频率资源信息指示的第二频率资源上,在所述两个子帧中的后一个子帧不进行物理上行控制信道的映射;或者

如图11-12所示,中间子帧的两个时隙都未映射频率资源,中间子帧为所述两个子帧中的前一个子帧或者所述两个子帧中的后一个子帧。
可以看出,相邻子帧之中至少留出了一个时隙,使得终端和系统有时间进行频带的调整,以适配整个系统带宽,从而完成上行信息的发送,充分利用系统带宽,保证上行数据的峰值速率或者上行数据的接收性能。
可选的,所述至少一个子帧包括两个相邻的子帧,并且在所述两个子帧的确定的第一频率资源相同时,所述处理单元,在所述两个子帧中每个子帧的第一个时隙,都将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第一频率资源信息指示的第一频率资源上;在所述两个子帧中每个子帧的第二个时隙,都将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第二频率资源信息指示的第二频率资源上。
本发明的实施例的物理上行控制信道的物理资源映射方法,将物理上行控制信道映射到一个子帧的一个子带内,从而映射的频率宽度不超过低复杂度或者低成本的终端所能支持的发送信号的带宽。终端可以在一个子帧的一个子带内发送上行控制信息,并且终端发送上行控制信息的子带不总是在系统带宽中心,从而避免了发送上行控制信息复杂度高、资源浪费、其他终端上行数据峰值速率降
低的问题。

可选的,所述处理单元确定至少两个子带可以确定偶数个子带,比如:2个子带,4个子带,6个子带。为了标识不同的子带,可以使用子带索引。子带也可以具有所述子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引,所述子带包含的频率资源的最大宽带频率资源索引、所述子带包含的频率资源的中心频率资源索引。所以,所述处理单元可以确定所述至少两个子带的第一信息,所述子带的第一信息至少包括下述之一:子带索引,所述子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引,所述子带包含的频率资源的最大宽带频率资源索引、所述子带包含的频率资源的中心频率资源索引。通过所述子带的第一信息,可以知晓该子带的相关特
性,即确定了子带。比如子带的宽度,子带的所有的频率资源。
可选的,当有两个或者更多个终端时,所述终端划分成多个终端对,所述终端对有第一终端和第二终端组成。第一终端确定的第三频率资源信息指示的第三频率资源与第二终端确定的第三频率资源信息指示的第三频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称。这样有利于避免发送带宽受限的终端发送上行控制信息时,所述上行控制信息对上行系统带宽内的频率资源分割成几个部分,从而可以保证上行数据占用连续的频率资源,达到上行数据的峰值速率。
可以理解的,当偶数个子带包含的频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称时,当偶数个终端分属于对称的子带当中,更容易使得这些偶数个终端所占用的频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称。换言之,所述至少两个子带包含第一子带和第二子带,所述第一子带包含的频率资源与第二子带包含的频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称,其中,所述第一终端的第三频率资源信息指示所述第一子带所包含的频率资源中的第三频率资源,第二终端的第三频率资源信息指示所述第二子带所包含的频率资源中的第三频率资源。
本实施例还包含子带不对称的情况,只要偶数个终端所占用的频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称,同样可以完成相同的效果。
下面解释如何确定子带。所述处理单元确定至少两个子带,可以由所述收发单元接收系统信息块SIB;并由处理单元,用于通过所述系统信息块SIB确定所述第一子带的第一信息;进而根据所述第一子带的第一信息确定所述第二子带。或者在已知第一子带的情况下,可以根据第一子带与第二子带相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称的特性,知晓第二子带的特性。
例如当所述第一子带的第一信息是第一子带的子带索引,所述第二子带的第一信息是第二子带的子带索引时,第一子带的子带索引和第二子带的子带索引是连续的自然数,则所述处理单元通过接收系统信息块确定第一子带的子带索引,
便可根据第一子带的子带索引确定第二子带的子带索引为第一子带的子带索引加1或减1。比如第一子带的子带索引是偶数,第二子带的子带索引是大于第一子带的子带索引的最小的奇数,则所述处理单元通过接收系统信息块确定第一子带的子带索引,便可根据第一子带的子带索引确定第二子带的子带索引为第一子带的子带索引加1。所述处理单元根据所述第二子带的子带索引就可以确定第二子带。
又例如当所述第一子带的第一信息是第一子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引,所述第二子带的第一信息是第二子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引时,所述处理单元通过接收系统信息块确定第一子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引为fNB1_min,便可根据第一子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引确定第二子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引为其中,是系统带宽中包含的频率资源的数量,NNB为所述第一数量。所述处理单元根据所述第二子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引,以及第二子带包含的频率资源的数量就可以确定第二子带。
又例如当所述第一子带的第一信息是第一子带的子带索引,则所述处理单元通过接收系统信息块确定第一子带的子带索引,就可以由所述子带索引和预先规定的子带及子带编号确定所述子带索引指示的第一子带。由所述第一子带包含的频率资源位置,就可以确定与第一子带包含的频率资源位置关于系统带宽中心对称的频率资源位置,即确定了所述第二子带。比如所述第一子带包含的其中一个频率资源的宽带频率资源索引为fNB1,则其关于系统带宽中心对称的频率资源的宽带频率资源索引为其中,是系统带宽中包含的频率资源的数量。
通过上述方式,所述处理单元根据所述第一子带的第一信息确定所述第二
子带,就节省了基站用于配置所述第一子带的第一信息和所述第二子带的信令开销。
子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引指示所述至少两个子带中的物理上行控制信道资源。对所述至少两个子带中的物理上行控制信道资源进行编号,即子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引。在一个子帧的一个频率资源上,可以有多个物理上行控制信道资源,所述多个物理上行控制信道资源是码分复用的。所述编号是对所述至少两个子带中的物理上行控制信道资源进行的联合编号。
下面介绍如何确定子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引,可以根据下述参量中的至少一种确定子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引:无线资源控制RRC信令包含的参量、物理层信令包含的参量、承载下行控制信息的物理下行控制信道PDCCH的第一个控制信道元素CCE的序号、承载下行控制信息的增强的物理下行控制信道EPDCCH的第一个增强的控制信道元素ECCE的序号、承载下行控制信息的机器类型通信的物理下行控制信道的第一个控制信道元素的序号。可选的,所述子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引的确定方式和现有PUCCH资源索引的确定方式相同。与现有PUCCH资源索引不同的是,为保证所述子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引是所述至少两个子带中的物理上行控制信道资源的编号,所述RRC信令包含的参量、物理层信令包含的参量、第一个控制信道元素的序号中的一种或多种的取值范围和确定现有PUCCH资源索引的以上参量的取值范围不同。
本实施例中所述至少两个子带包含的频率资源构成了一个整合的频率资源集合。为了指示这些频率资源,可以使用第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1。所述第三频率资源索引可以是对所述至少两个子带包含的频率资源的编号。取值范围是0~所述至少两个子带所包含的频率资源的数量-1。比如取值范围可以是0~所述第三频率资源索引也可以从1开始编号,其相应的物理上行控制
信道的物理资源映射方法都属于本发明实施例的保护范围。所述处理单元,可以根据子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引确定第三频率资源信息,包括:
所述处理单元,用于根据子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引确定第三参量m',所述m'小于等于所述至少两个子带所包含的频率资源的数量;根据m'确定所述第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1。
例如,根据子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引确定m'的一种方式为:
其中,所述处理单元,根据m'确定所述第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1,可以包括:
所述第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1与m'的关系满足如下公式:
X包括以下参数的一个或者多个或者多个的组合:
时隙序号ns、子帧序号nsf、无线帧序号、发送上行控制信息的起始子帧到当前子帧之间包含的上行子帧数;
Y包括以下参数的一个或者多个或者多个的组合:
预先定义的参数、物理上行控制信道的跳频粒度,物理上行控制信道跳频周期。
例如X是nsf。又例如X是10×SFN+nsf,SFN是无线帧序号。又例如X是发送上行控制信息的起始子帧到当前子帧之间包含的子帧数或者上行子帧数。物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源可以发生变化,称作物理上行控制信道跳频。物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源每G个子帧变化一次,称作物理上行控制信道跳频粒度。物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源的变化规律每H个子帧重复一次,则H个子帧称作物理上行控制信道跳频周期。例如Y是物理上行控制信道跳频粒度。物理上行控制信道跳频可以发生在物理上行控制信道进行映射或者所述发送单元发送上行控制信息的多个子帧中。即在物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源发生变化前后的多个子帧,所述发送单元发送相同的上行控制信息。X和Y确定了物理上行控制信道跳频的时刻。
图26示出了包含第一子带和第二子带的第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1与m'的关系。
可选的另一方面,如图27所示,同一终端所占用的第三频率资源可以发生变化,如m'=0从第一子带跳频到第二子带上。假设所述第三频率资源信息发生变化前,已经确定的第三频率资源信息为第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1_pre,
当所述第三频率资源信息发生变化时,根据所述第三频率资源信息变化规
则确定所述第三频率资源信息变化后的第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1_after;其中所述所述第三频率资源信息变化规则为:
其中为所述至少两个子带所包含的频率资源的数量。
可以理解的是,以上第三频率资源索引是所述至少两个子带包含的频率资源的编号,是一种相对索引。
为了标识所述至少两个子带包含的频率资源,还可以使用宽带频率资源索引,所述宽带频率资源索引为系统带宽中包含的频率资源的索引,所述系统带宽为与所述终端通信的接入网设备所支持的带宽。换言之,将接入网设备所支持的整个带宽划分为不同的频率资源,将这些所有的频率资源用宽带频率资源索引进行标引。这是一种绝对索引。宽带频率资源索引的取值范围可以是0~系统带宽包含的频率资源的个数-1。比如取值范围可以是假设所述第三频率资源信息发生变化前,已经确定的第三频率资源信息为宽带频率资源索引nPRB_pre,当所述第三频率资源信息发生变化时,根据所述第三频率资源信息变化规则确定所述第三频率资源信息变化后的宽带频率资源索引nPRB_after;其中所述所述第三频率资源信息变化规则为:其中是系统带宽中包含的频率资源的数量。可选的,所述处理单元,用于根据预先规定确定在所述多个子帧中,所述第三频率资源信息发生变化的时间间隔或者所述频率资源信息发生变化的子帧;
可选的,所述处理单元,用于通过接收无线资源控制信令、媒体接入控制信令、物理层信令中的至少一种确定所述第三频率资源信息发生变化的时间间隔或者所述频率资源信息发生变化的子帧;
可选的,所述处理单元,用于确定所述第三频率资源信息发生变化的时间间隔为所述多个子帧的子帧个数的约数。以下介绍将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源。因为终端在频率跳变时需要准备时间,所以需要足够的保护时间来完成跳频准备。可以理解的,保护时间可以是一个时隙或者多个时隙,也可以是一个子帧或者多个子帧。图27示出了两个时隙的方案。除此之外,还可以包括如下方案:
如果在两个相邻的子帧,所述处理单元确定的第三频率资源信息指示的第三频率资源不同,则,所述处理单元在所述两个子帧中的前一个子帧的第一个时隙将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源,在所述前一个子帧的另一个时隙不进行物理上行控制信道的映射;或者
所述处理单元在所述两个子帧中的后一个子帧的第二个时隙将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源,在所述后一个子帧的另一个时隙不进行物理上行控制信道的映射;或者
所述处理单元在所述两个子帧中的前一个子帧将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源,在所述两个子帧中的后一个子帧不进行物理上行控制信道的映射;或者
所述处理单元在所述两个子帧中的后一个子帧将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源,在所述两个子帧中的前一个子帧不进行物理上行控制信道的映射。
可以理解的,本实施例中的频率资源可以为一个物理资源块PRB在频带上占据的资源,也可以是其他具有带宽的频率资源;或者所述频率资源为LTE系统中的子载波或者类似的概念。
本发明实施例的终端,将物理上行控制信道映射到一个子帧的一个子带内,从而在一个子帧映射的频率宽度不超过低复杂度或者低成本的终端所能支持的
发送信号的带宽,保证了所述终端能够发送上行控制信息。通过本实施例第三频率资源信息的确定或变化方式,可以保证物理上行控制信道跳频前后映射的频率资源关于系统带宽中心对称,减少了上行控制信息传输对于上行数据传输频率资源的割裂,保证了上行数据的峰值速率或保证了上行数据的接收性能。
第十四实施例
本实例提供一种通信方法。虽然本实施例是以上行控制信息说明技术方案,但是本领域技术人员可以理解,基于相同的原理和概念,本实施例的方案同样可以应用于其他上行信息的发送。具体实现的过程请可以参见第十三实施例中装置实施例所实现的方法。
如图31所示,所述方法包括:
步骤1401,确定至少两个子带,所述子带包含至少一个频率资源,所述每个子带的带宽小于等于所述终端所支持的带宽;
步骤1402,根据子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引确定第三频率资源信息,所述第三频率资源信息指示所述至少两个子带所包含的频率资源中的第三频率资源,所述子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引指示所述至少两个子带中的物理上行控制信道资源;
步骤1403,将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源;
步骤1404,通过所述物理上行控制信道发送所述上行控制信息。
通过确定至少两个子带,进而确定对应的频率资源映射,并发送上行控制信息,可以将所发送的上行控制信息限制在子带之内,即限制在发送装置所支持的带宽之内,从而保证了受限终端传输上行控制信息,有利于避免所述上行控制信息对上行系统带宽内的频率资源分割成几个部分,从而可以保证上行数据的峰值速率和上行数据的接收性能。
可选的,可以确定至少两个子带可以确定偶数个子带,比如:2个子带,4个子带,6个子带。为了标识不同的子带,可以使用子带索引。子带也可以具有所述子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引,所述子带包含的频率资源的最大宽带频率资源索引、所述子带包含的频率资源的中心频率资源索引。所以,确定所述至少两个子带的第一信息,所述子带的第一信息至少包括下述之一:子带索引,所述子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引,所述子带包含的频率资源的最大宽带频率资源索引,所述子带包含的频率资源的中心频率资源索引。可选的,当有两个或者更多个终端时,所述终端划分成多个终端对,所述终端对有第一终端和第二终端组成。第一终端确定的第三频率资源信息指示的第三频率资源与第二终端确定的第三频率资源信息指示的第三频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称。这样有利于避免发送带宽受限的终端发送上行控制信息时,所述上行控制信息对上行系统带宽内的频率资源分割成几个部分,从而可以保证上行数据占用连续的频率资源,达到上行数据的峰值速率。可以理解的,当偶数个子带包含的频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称时,当偶数个终端分属于对称的子带当中,更容易使得这些偶数个终端所占用的频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称。换言之,所述至少两个子带包含第一子带和第二子带,所述第一子带包含的频率资源与第二子带包含的频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称,其中,所述第一终端的第三频率资源信息指示所述第一子带所包含的频率资源中的第三频率资源,第二终端的第三频率资源信息指示所述第二子带所包含的频率资源中的第三频率资源。
本实施例还包含子带不对称的情况,只要偶数个终端所占用的频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称,同样可以完成相同的效果。
下面解释如何确定子带。可以接收系统信息块SIB;并通过所述系统信息块SIB确定所述第一子带的第一信息;进而根据所述第一子带的第一信息确定所述
第二子带。或者在已知第一子带的情况下,可以根据第一子带与第二子带相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称的特性,知晓第二子带的特性。例如当所述第一子带的第一信息是第一子带的子带索引,所述第二子带的第一信息是第二子带的子带索引时,第一子带的子带索引和第二子带的子带索引是连续的自然数,则通过接收系统信息块确定第一子带的子带索引,便可根据第一子带的子带索引确定第二子带的子带索引为第一子带的子带索引加1或减1。比如第一子带的子带索引是偶数,第二子带的子带索引是大于第一子带的子带索引的最小的奇数,则通过接收系统信息块确定第一子带的子带索引,便可根据第一子带的子带索引确定第二子带的子带索引为第一子带的子带索引加1。根据所述第二子带的子带索引就可以确定第二子带。
又例如当所述第一子带的第一信息是第一子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引,所述第二子带的第一信息是第二子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引时,通过接收系统信息块确定第一子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引为fNB1_min,便可根据第一子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引确定第二子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引为其中,是系统带宽中包含的频率资源的数量,NNB为所述第一数量。根据所述第二子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引,以及第二子带包含的频率资源的数量就可以确定第二子带。
通过上述方式,根据所述第一子带的第一信息确定所述第二子带,就节省了基站用于配置所述第一子带的第一信息和所述第二子带的信令开销。
子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引指示所述至少两个子带中的物理上行控制信道资源。对所述至少两个子带中的物理上行控制信道资源进行编号,即子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引。在一个子帧的一个频率资源上,可以有多个
物理上行控制信道资源,所述多个物理上行控制信道资源是码分复用的。所述编号是对所述至少两个子带中的物理上行控制信道资源进行的联合编号。
下面介绍如何确定子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引,可以根据下述参量中的至少一种确定子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引:无线资源控制RRC信令包含的参量、物理层信令包含的参量、承载下行控制信息的物理下行控制信道PDCCH的第一个控制信道元素CCE的序号、承载下行控制信息的增强的物理下行控制信道EPDCCH的第一个增强的控制信道元素ECCE的序号、承载下行控制信息的机器类型通信的物理下行控制信道的第一个控制信道元素的序号。
本实施例中所述至少两个子带包含的频率资源构成了一个整合的频率资源集合。为了指示这些频率资源,可以使用第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1。所述第三频率资源索引可以是对所述至少两个子带包含的频率资源的编号。取值范围是0~所述至少两个子带所包含的频率资源的数量-1。
可以根据子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引确定第三频率资源信息,包括:
根据子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引确定第三参量m',所述m'小于等于所述至少两个子带所包含的频率资源的数量;根据m'确定所述第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1。
其中,根据m'确定所述第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1,可以包括:
所述第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1与m'的关系满足如下公式:
X包括以下参数的一个或者多个或者多个的组合:
时隙序号ns、子帧序号nsf、无线帧序号、发送上行控制信息的起始子帧到当前子帧之间包含的上行子帧数;
Y包括以下参数的一个或者多个或者多个的组合:
预先定义的参数、物理上行控制信道的跳频粒度,物理上行控制信道跳频周期。
例如X是nsf。又例如X是10×SFN+nsf,SFN是无线帧序号。又例如X是发送上行控制信息的起始子帧到当前子帧之间包含的子帧数或者上行子帧数。物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源可以发生变化,称作物理上行控制信道跳频。物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源每G个子帧变化一次,称作物理上行控制信道跳频粒度。物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源的变化规律每H个子帧重复一次,则H个子帧称作物理上行控制信道跳频周期。例如Y是物理上行控制信道跳频粒度。物理上行控制信道跳频可以发生在物理上行控制信道进行映射或者发送上行控制信息的多个子帧中。即在物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源发生变化前后的多个子帧,发送相同的上行控制信息。X和Y确定了物理上行控制信道跳频的时刻。
图26示出了包含第一子带和第二子带的第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1与m'的关系。
可选的另一方面,如图27所示,同一终端所占用的第三频率资源可以发生
变化,如m'=0从第一子带跳频到第二子带上。假设所述第三频率资源信息发生变化前,已经确定的第三频率资源信息为第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1_pre,
当所述第三频率资源信息发生变化时,根据所述第三频率资源信息变化规则确定所述第三频率资源信息变化后的第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1_after;其中所述所述第三频率资源信息变化规则为:
其中为所述至少两个子带所包含的频率资源的数量。
可以理解的是,以上第三频率资源索引是所述至少两个子带包含的频率资源的编号,是一种相对索引。
为了标识所述至少两个子带包含的频率资源,还可以使用宽带频率资源索引,所述宽带频率资源索引为系统带宽中包含的频率资源的索引,所述系统带宽为与所述终端通信的接入网设备所支持的带宽。换言之,将接入网设备所支持的整个带宽划分为不同的频率资源,将这些所有的频率资源用宽带频率资源索引进行标引。这是一种绝对索引。宽带频率资源索引的取值范围可以是0~系统带宽包含的频率资源的个数-1。
假设所述第三频率资源信息发生变化前,已经确定的第三频率资源信息为宽带频率资源索引nPRB_pre,当所述第三频率资源信息发生变化时,根据所述第三频率资源信息变化规则确定所述第三频率资源信息变化后的宽带频率资源索引nPRB_after;其中所述所述第三频率资源信息变化规则为:其中是系统带宽中包含的频率资源的数量。
以下介绍将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源。因为终端在频率跳变时需要准备时间,所以需要足够的保护时间来完成跳频准备。可以理解的,
保护时间可以是一个时隙或者多个时隙,也可以是一个子帧或者多个子帧。图27示出了两个时隙的方案。除此之外,还可以包括如下方案:
如果在两个相邻的子帧,所述确定的第三频率资源信息指示的第三频率资源不同,则,在所述两个子帧中的前一个子帧的第一个时隙将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源,在所述前一个子帧的另一个时隙不进行物理上行控制信道的映射;或者
在所述两个子帧中的后一个子帧的第二个时隙将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源,在所述后一个子帧的另一个时隙不进行物理上行控制信道的映射;或者
在所述两个子帧中的前一个子帧将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源,在所述两个子帧中的后一个子帧不进行物理上行控制信道的映射;或者
在所述两个子帧中的后一个子帧将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源,在所述两个子帧中的前一个子帧不进行物理上行控制信道的映射。
可以理解的,本实施例中的频率资源可以为一个物理资源块PRB在频带上占据的资源,也可以是其他具有带宽的频率资源;或者所述频率资源为LTE系统中的子载波或者类似的概念。
本发明实施例的通信方法,将物理上行控制信道映射到一个子帧的一个子带内,从而在一个子帧映射的频率宽度不超过低复杂度或者低成本的终端所能支持的发送信号的带宽,保证了所述终端能够发送上行控制信息。通过本实施例第三频率资源信息的确定或变化方式,可以保证物理上行控制信道跳频前后映射的频率资源关于系统带宽中心对称,减少了上行控制信息传输对于上行数据传输频率资源的割裂,保证了上行数据的峰值速率或保证了上行数据的接收性能。
第十五实施例
本实例提供一种接入网设备,所述接入网设备可以是基站设备,比如演进
基站(eNodeB)或者类似的设备。虽然本实施例是以上行控制信息说明技术方案,但是本领域技术人员可以理解,基于相同的原理和概念,本实施例的方案同样可以应用于其他上行信息的发送。具体实现的过程请可以参见第十三实施例中终端实施例所实现的方法。
如图32所示,所述接入网设备1500包括:
处理单元1501,用于确定至少两个子带,所述子带包含至少一个频率资源,所述每个子带的带宽小于等于终端所支持的带宽;
所述处理单元1501,还用于根据子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引确定第三频率资源信息,所述第三频率资源信息指示所述至少两个子带所包含的频率资源中的第三频率资源,所述子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引指示所述至少两个子带中的物理上行控制信道资源;
所述处理单元1501,还用于将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源;
收发单元1502,用于通过所述物理上行控制信道接收所述上行控制信息。
通过确定至少两个子带,进而确定对应的频率资源映射,并接收上行控制信息,可以将所接收的上行控制信息限制在子带之内,即限制在发送装置所支持的带宽之内,从而保证了受限终端传输上行控制信息,有利于避免所述上行控制信息对上行系统带宽内的频率资源分割成几个部分,从而可以保证上行数据的峰值速率和上行数据的接收性能。可选的,所述处理单元确定至少两个子带可以确定偶数个子带,比如:2个子带,4个子带,6个子带。为了标识不同的子带,可以使用子带索引。子带也可以具有所述子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引,所述子带包含的频率资源的最大宽带频率资源索引、所述子带包含的频率资源的中心频率资源索引。所以,所述处理单元可以确定所述至少两个子带的第一信息,所述子带的第一信息至少包括下述之一:子带索引,所述子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引,所述子带包含的频率资源的最大宽带频率资源
索引、所述子带包含的频率资源的中心频率资源索引。通过所述子带的第一信息,可以知晓该子带的相关特性,即确定了子带。比如子带的宽度,子带的所有的频率资源。
可选的,当有两个或者更多个终端时,所述终端划分成多个终端对,所述终端对有第一终端和第二终端组成。所述处理单元确定的第一终端的第三频率资源信息指示的第三频率资源与第二终端确定的第三频率资源信息指示的第三频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称。这样有利于避免发送带宽受限的终端发送上行控制信息时,所述上行控制信息对上行系统带宽内的频率资源分割成几个部分,从而可以保证上行数据占用连续的频率资源,达到上行数据的峰值速率。
可以理解的,当偶数个子带包含的频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称时,当偶数个终端分属于对称的子带当中,更容易使得这些偶数个终端所占用的频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称。换言之,所述至少两个子带包含第一子带和第二子带,所述第一子带包含的频率资源与第二子带包含的频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称,其中,所述第一终端的第三频率资源信息指示所述第一子带所包含的频率资源中的第三频率资源,第二终端的第三频率资源信息指示所述第二子带所包含的频率资源中的第三频率资源。
本实施例还包含子带不对称的情况,只要偶数个终端所占用的频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称,同样可以完成相同的效果。
下面解释如何确定子带。所述处理单元确定至少两个子带,可以确定所述第一子带的第一信息;进而根据所述第一子带的第一信息确定所述第二子带。或者在已知第一子带的情况下,可以根据第一子带与第二子带相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称的特性,知晓第二子带的特性。
所述收发单元,用于发送系统信息块SIB,所述系统信息块SIB包含所述第一子带的第一信息的配置信息。从而使得终端可以根据所述第一子带的第一信息
确定所述第二子带。
例如当所述第一子带的第一信息是第一子带的子带索引,所述第二子带的第一信息是第二子带的子带索引时,第一子带的子带索引和第二子带的子带索引是连续的自然数,则所述处理单元确定第一子带的子带索引,便可根据第一子带的子带索引确定第二子带的子带索引为第一子带的子带索引加1或减1。比如第一子带的子带索引是偶数,第二子带的子带索引是大于第一子带的子带索引的最小的奇数,则所述处理单元确定第一子带的子带索引,便可根据第一子带的子带索引确定第二子带的子带索引为第一子带的子带索引加1。所述处理单元根据所述第二子带的子带索引就可以确定第二子带。
又例如当所述第一子带的第一信息是第一子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引,所述第二子带的第一信息是第二子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引时,所述处理单元确定第一子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引为fNB1_min,便可根据第一子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引确定第二子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引为其中,是系统带宽中包含的频率资源的数量,NNB为所述第一数量。所述处理单元根据所述第二子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引,以及第二子带包含的频率资源的数量就可以确定第二子带。
通过上述方式,所述收发单元发送系统信息块SIB,所述系统信息块SIB包含所述第一子带的第一信息的配置信息,从而使得终端可以根据所述第一子带的第一信息确定所述第二子带。就节省了基站用于配置所述第一子带的第一信息和所述第二子带的信令开销。
子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引指示所述至少两个子带中的物理上行
控制信道资源。对所述至少两个子带中的物理上行控制信道资源进行编号,即子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引。在一个子帧的一个频率资源上,可以有多个物理上行控制信道资源,所述多个物理上行控制信道资源是码分复用的。所述编号是对所述至少两个子带中的物理上行控制信道资源进行的联合编号。
下面介绍如何确定子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引,可以根据下述参量中的至少一种确定子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引:无线资源控制RRC信令包含的参量、物理层信令包含的参量、承载下行控制信息的物理下行控制信道PDCCH的第一个控制信道元素CCE的序号、承载下行控制信息的增强的物理下行控制信道EPDCCH的第一个增强的控制信道元素ECCE的序号、承载下行控制信息的机器类型通信的物理下行控制信道的第一个控制信道元素的序号。
本实施例中所述至少两个子带包含的频率资源构成了一个整合的频率资源集合。为了指示这些频率资源,可以使用第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1。所述第三频率资源索引可以是对所述至少两个子带包含的频率资源的编号。取值范围是0~所述至少两个子带所包含的频率资源的数量-1。
所述处理单元,可以根据子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引确定第三频率资源信息,包括:
所述处理单元,用于根据子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引确定第三参量m',所述m'小于等于所述至少两个子带所包含的频率资源的数量;根据m'确定所述第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1。
其中,所述处理单元,根据m'确定所述第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1,可以包括:
所述第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1与m'的关系满足如下公式:
X包括以下参数的一个或者多个或者多个的组合:
时隙序号ns、子帧序号nsf、无线帧序号、发送上行控制信息的起始子帧到当前子帧之间包含的上行子帧数;
Y包括以下参数的一个或者多个或者多个的组合:
预先定义的参数、物理上行控制信道的跳频粒度,物理上行控制信道跳频周期。
例如X是nsf。又例如X是10×SFN+nsf,SFN是无线帧序号。又例如X是发送上行控制信息的起始子帧到当前子帧之间包含的子帧数或者上行子帧数。物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源可以发生变化,称作物理上行控制信道跳频。物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源每G个子帧变化一次,称作物理上行控制信道跳频粒度。物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源的变化规律每H个子帧重复一次,则H个子帧称作物理上行控制信道跳频周期。例如Y是物理上行控制信道跳频粒度。物理上行控制信道跳频可以发生在物理上行控制信道进行映射或者所述接收单元接收上行控制信息的多个子帧中。即在物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源发生变化前后的多个子帧,所述接收单元接收相同的上行控制信息。X和Y确定了物
理上行控制信道跳频的时刻。
图26示出了包含第一子带和第二子带的第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1与m'的关系。
可选的另一方面,如图27所示,同一终端所占用的第三频率资源可以发生变化,如m'=0从第一子带跳频到第二子带上。假设所述第三频率资源信息发生变化前,已经确定的第三频率资源信息为第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1_pre,
当所述第三频率资源信息发生变化时,根据所述第三频率资源信息变化规则确定所述第三频率资源信息变化后的第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1_after;其中所述所述第三频率资源信息变化规则为:
其中为所述至少两个子带所包含的频率资源的数量。
可以理解的是,以上第三频率资源索引是所述至少两个子带包含的频率资源的编号,是一种相对索引。
为了标识所述至少两个子带包含的频率资源,还可以使用宽带频率资源索引,所述宽带频率资源索引为系统带宽中包含的频率资源的索引,所述系统带宽为与所述终端通信的接入网设备所支持的带宽。换言之,将接入网设备所支持的整个带宽划分为不同的频率资源,将这些所有的频率资源用宽带频率资源索引进行标引。这是一种绝对索引。宽带频率资源索引的取值范围可以是0~系统带宽包含的频率资源的个数-1。
假设所述第三频率资源信息发生变化前,已经确定的第三频率资源信息为宽带频率资源索引nPRB_pre,当所述第三频率资源信息发生变化时,根据所述第三频率资源信息变化规则确定所述第三频率资源信息变化后的宽带频率资源索引
nPRB_after;其中所述所述第三频率资源信息变化规则为:其中是系统带宽中包含的频率资源的数量。
以下介绍将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源。因为终端在频率跳变时需要准备时间,所以需要足够的保护时间来完成跳频准备。可以理解的,保护时间可以是一个时隙或者多个时隙,也可以是一个子帧或者多个子帧。图27示出了两个时隙的方案。除此之外,还可以包括如下方案:
如果在两个相邻的子帧,所述处理单元确定的第三频率资源信息指示的第三频率资源不同,则,所述处理单元在所述两个子帧中的前一个子帧的第一个时隙将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源,在所述前一个子帧的另一个时隙不进行物理上行控制信道的映射;或者
所述处理单元在所述两个子帧中的后一个子帧的第二个时隙将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源,在所述后一个子帧的另一个时隙不进行物理上行控制信道的映射;或者
所述处理单元在所述两个子帧中的前一个子帧将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源,在所述两个子帧中的后一个子帧不进行物理上行控制信道的映射;或者
所述处理单元在所述两个子帧中的后一个子帧将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源,在所述两个子帧中的前一个子帧不进行物理上行控制信道的映射。
可以理解的,本实施例中的频率资源可以为一个物理资源块PRB在频带上占据的资源,也可以是其他具有带宽的频率资源;或者所述频率资源为LTE系统中的子载波或者类似的概念。
本发明实施例的接入网设备,将物理上行控制信道映射到一个子帧的一个子带内,从而在一个子帧映射的频率宽度不超过低复杂度或者低成本的终端所能
支持的发送信号的带宽,保证了所述终端能够发送上行控制信息。通过本实施例第三频率资源信息的确定或变化方式,可以保证物理上行控制信道跳频前后映射的频率资源关于系统带宽中心对称,减少了上行控制信息传输对于上行数据传输频率资源的割裂,保证了上行数据的峰值速率或保证了上行数据的接收性能。
第十六实施例
本实例提供一种通信方法。虽然本实施例是以上行控制信息说明技术方案,但是本领域技术人员可以理解,基于相同的原理和概念,本实施例的方案同样可以应用于其他上行信息的发送。具体实现的过程请可以参见第十五实施例中装置实施例所实现的方法。
如图33所示,所述方法包括:
步骤1601,确定至少两个子带,所述子带包含至少一个频率资源,所述每个子带的带宽小于等于终端所支持的带宽;
步骤1602,根据子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引确定第三频率资源信息,所述第三频率资源信息指示所述至少两个子带所包含的频率资源中的第三频率资源,所述子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引指示所述至少两个子带中的物理上行控制信道资源;
步骤1603,将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源;
步骤1604,通过所述物理上行控制信道接收所述上行控制信息。
通过确定至少两个子带,进而确定对应的频率资源映射,并接收上行控制信息,可以将所接收的上行控制信息限制在子带之内,即限制在发送装置所支持的带宽之内,从而保证了受限终端传输上行控制信息,有利于避免所述上行控制信息对上行系统带宽内的频率资源分割成几个部分,从而可以保证上行数据的峰值速率和上行数据的接收性能。
可选的,可以确定至少两个子带可以确定偶数个子带,比如:2个子带,4个子带,6个子带。为了标识不同的子带,可以使用子带索引。子带也可以具有所述子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引,所述子带包含的频率资源的最大宽带频率资源索引、所述子带包含的频率资源的中心频率资源索引。所以,确定所述至少两个子带的第一信息,所述子带的第一信息至少包括下述之一:子带索引,所述子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引,所述子带包含的频率资源的最大宽带频率资源索引,所述子带包含的频率资源的中心频率资源索引。
可选的,当有两个或者更多个终端时,所述终端划分成多个终端对,所述终端对有第一终端和第二终端组成。第一终端的第三频率资源信息指示的第三频率资源与第二终端的第三频率资源信息指示的第三频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称。这样有利于避免发送带宽受限的终端发送上行控制信息时,所述上行控制信息对上行系统带宽内的频率资源分割成几个部分,从而可以保证上行数据占用连续的频率资源,达到上行数据的峰值速率。
可以理解的,当偶数个子带包含的频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称时,当偶数个终端分属于对称的子带当中,更容易使得这些偶数个终端所占用的频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称。换言之,所述至少两个子带包含第一子带和第二子带,所述第一子带包含的频率资源与第二子带包含的频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称,其中,所述第一终端的第三频率资源信息指示所述第一子带所包含的频率资源中的第三频率资源,第二终端的第三频率资源信息指示所述第二子带所包含的频率资源中的第三频率资源。
本实施例还包含子带不对称的情况,只要偶数个终端所占用的频率资源相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称,同样可以完成相同的效果。
下面解释如何确定子带。确定至少两个子带,可以确定第一子带的第一信息;进而根据所述第一子带的第一信息确定所述第二子带。或者在已知第一子带
的情况下,可以根据第一子带与第二子带相对于系统带宽的中心频率对称的特性,知晓第二子带的特性。即确定所述第一子带的第一信息;根据所述第一子带的第一信息确定所述第二子带。
所述方法还包括发送系统信息块SIB,所述系统信息块SIB包含所述第一子带的第一信息的配置信息。从而使得终端可以根据所述第一子带的第一信息确定所述第二子带。
例如当所述第一子带的第一信息是第一子带的子带索引,所述第二子带的第一信息是第二子带的子带索引时,第一子带的子带索引和第二子带的子带索引是连续的自然数,则确定了第一子带的子带索引,便可根据第一子带的子带索引确定第二子带的子带索引为第一子带的子带索引加1或减1。比如第一子带的子带索引是偶数,第二子带的子带索引是大于第一子带的子带索引的最小的奇数,则确定了第一子带的子带索引,便可根据第一子带的子带索引确定第二子带的子带索引为第一子带的子带索引加1。根据所述第二子带的子带索引就可以确定第二子带。
又例如当所述第一子带的第一信息是第一子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引,所述第二子带的第一信息是第二子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引时,确定了第一子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引为fNB1_min,便可根据第一子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引确定第二子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引为其中,是系统带宽中包含的频率资源的数量,NNB为所述第一数量。根据所述第二子带包含的频率资源的最小宽带频率资源索引,以及第二子带包含的频率资源的数量就可以确定第二子带。
通过上述方式,发送系统信息块SIB,所述系统信息块SIB包含所述第一子
带的第一信息的配置信息,从而使得终端可以根据所述第一子带的第一信息确定所述第二子带。就节省了基站用于配置所述第一子带的第一信息和所述第二子带的信令开销。
子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引指示所述至少两个子带中的物理上行控制信道资源。对所述至少两个子带中的物理上行控制信道资源进行编号,即子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引。在一个子帧的一个频率资源上,可以有多个物理上行控制信道资源,所述多个物理上行控制信道资源是码分复用的。所述编号是对所述至少两个子带中的物理上行控制信道资源进行的联合编号。
下面介绍如何确定子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引,可以根据下述参量中的至少一种确定子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引:无线资源控制RRC信令包含的参量、物理层信令包含的参量、承载下行控制信息的物理下行控制信道PDCCH的第一个控制信道元素CCE的序号、承载下行控制信息的增强的物理下行控制信道EPDCCH的第一个增强的控制信道元素ECCE的序号、承载下行控制信息的机器类型通信的物理下行控制信道的第一个控制信道元素的序号。
本实施例中所述至少两个子带包含的频率资源构成了一个整合的频率资源集合。为了指示这些频率资源,可以使用第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1。所述第三频率资源索引可以是对所述至少两个子带包含的频率资源的编号。取值范围是0~所述至少两个子带所包含的频率资源的数量-1。
可以根据子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引确定第三频率资源信息,包括:
根据子带区域物理上行控制信道资源索引确定第三参量m',所述m'小于等于所述至少两个子带所包含的频率资源的数量;根据m'确定所述第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1。
其中,根据m'确定所述第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1,可以包括:
所述第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1与m'的关系满足如下公式:
X包括以下参数的一个或者多个或者多个的组合:
时隙序号ns、子帧序号nsf、无线帧序号、发送上行控制信息的起始子帧到当前子帧之间包含的上行子帧数;
Y包括以下参数的一个或者多个或者多个的组合:
预先定义的参数、物理上行控制信道的跳频粒度,物理上行控制信道跳频周期。
例如X是nsf。又例如X是10×SFN+nsf,SFN是无线帧序号。又例如X是发送上行控制信息的起始子帧到当前子帧之间包含的子帧数或者上行子帧数。物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源可以发生变化,称作物理上行控制信道跳频。物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源每G个子帧变化一次,称作物理上行控制信道跳频粒度。物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源的变化规律每H个子帧重复一次,则H个子帧称作物理上行控制信道跳频周期。例如Y是物理上行控制信道跳频粒度。
物理上行控制信道跳频可以发生在物理上行控制信道进行映射或者接收上行控制信息的多个子帧中。即在物理上行控制信道映射的频率资源发生变化前后的多个子帧,接收相同的上行控制信息。X和Y确定了物理上行控制信道跳频的时刻。
图26示出了包含第一子带和第二子带的第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1与m'的关系。
可选的另一方面,如图27所示,同一终端所占用的第三频率资源可以发生变化,如m'=0从第一子带跳频到第二子带上。假设所述第三频率资源信息发生变化前,已经确定的第三频率资源信息为第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1_pre,
当所述第三频率资源信息发生变化时,根据所述第三频率资源信息变化规则确定所述第三频率资源信息变化后的第三频率资源索引nPRB_NB_MUL_s1_after;其中所述所述第三频率资源信息变化规则为:
其中为所述至少两个子带所包含的频率资源的数量。
可以理解的是,以上第三频率资源索引是所述至少两个子带包含的频率资源的编号,是一种相对索引。
为了标识所述至少两个子带包含的频率资源,还可以使用宽带频率资源索引,所述宽带频率资源索引为系统带宽中包含的频率资源的索引,所述系统带宽为与所述终端通信的接入网设备所支持的带宽。换言之,将接入网设备所支持的整个带宽划分为不同的频率资源,将这些所有的频率资源用宽带频率资源索引进行标引。这是一种绝对索引。宽带频率资源索引的取值范围可以是0~系统带宽包含的频率资源的个数-1。
假设所述第三频率资源信息发生变化前,已经确定的第三频率资源信息为
宽带频率资源索引nPRB_pre,当所述第三频率资源信息发生变化时,根据所述第三频率资源信息变化规则确定所述第三频率资源信息变化后的宽带频率资源索引nPRB_after;其中所述所述第三频率资源信息变化规则为:其中是系统带宽中包含的频率资源的数量。
以下介绍将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源。因为终端在频率跳变时需要准备时间,所以需要足够的保护时间来完成跳频准备。可以理解的,保护时间可以是一个时隙或者多个时隙,也可以是一个子帧或者多个子帧。图27示出了两个时隙的方案。除此之外,还可以包括如下方案:
如果在两个相邻的子帧,所述确定的第三频率资源信息指示的第三频率资源不同,则,在所述两个子帧中的前一个子帧的第一个时隙将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源,在所述前一个子帧的另一个时隙不进行物理上行控制信道的映射;或者
在所述两个子帧中的后一个子帧的第二个时隙将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源,在所述后一个子帧的另一个时隙不进行物理上行控制信道的映射;或者
在所述两个子帧中的前一个子帧将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源,在所述两个子帧中的后一个子帧不进行物理上行控制信道的映射;或者
在所述两个子帧中的后一个子帧将物理上行控制信道映射到所述第三频率资源,在所述两个子帧中的前一个子帧不进行物理上行控制信道的映射。
可以理解的,本实施例中的频率资源可以为一个物理资源块PRB在频带上占据的资源,也可以是其他具有带宽的频率资源;或者所述频率资源为LTE系统中的子载波或者类似的概念。
本发明实施例的方法,将物理上行控制信道映射到一个子帧的一个子带内,
从而在一个子帧映射的频率宽度不超过低复杂度或者低成本的终端所能支持的发送信号的带宽,保证了所述终端能够发送上行控制信息。通过本实施例第三频率资源信息的确定或变化方式,可以保证物理上行控制信道跳频前后映射的频率资源关于系统带宽中心对称,减少了上行控制信息传输对于上行数据传输频率资源的割裂,保证了上行数据的峰值速率或保证了上行数据的接收性能。
