Description

一种载波复用的方法和站点 技术领域
本申请涉及但不限于移动无线通信技术,尤指一种载波复用的方法和站点。
背景技术
在长期演进系统(Long Term Evolution,LTE)的演进过程中,在2014年9月份,LTE第13版协议(LTE Rel-13)开始立项研究,其中,LTE Rel-13中一个重要的立项就是LTE系统使用非授权载波工作,非授权载波也即免授权频谱,是指在满足政府部门(例如国家无线电管理委员会)有关规定(无线电管制)的情况下,不需要授权就能直接使用的频谱或载波,例如目前的5GHz频段就属于非授权载波。由于非授权频谱具备准入要求低、成本低、频谱免费使用等优势,LTE系统中使用目前存在的非授权载波,将大大提升LTE系统的潜在频谱资源,能够使得LTE系统的频谱成本更低。
目前,现有的LTE系统中一个主要特征就是邻近小区的频率复用,从而提升频谱效率,但是现有技术中的频率复用都是在某一运营商独享的授权频段内实施的,并且不需要考虑对于其他运营商的小区的干扰问题。当LTE系统部署在非授权载波中时,由于该载波都是非授权的,并不属于某一运营商独享使用,而是由所有的运营商以及不同系统(例如LTE系统与无线局域网络(Wireless Local Area Networks,WLAN)系统)之间共享使用的。为了降低由于所有的运营商以及不同系统共享使用非授权载波时互相产生的干扰,在不少国家或地区存在对于非授权载波的国家管制。例如在欧洲,如果LTE系统在非授权载波中运营时,需要支持发送之前监听(Listen Before Talk,LBT)机制,管制中进一步给出了LBT机制下的两种帧结构需求以支持数据传输,分别为帧基于设备(Frame Based Equipment,FBE)方式和负载基于设备(Load Based Equipment,LBE)方式,对于FBE方式和LBE方式信道占用时间最大值分别为10ms、13ms,具体可参考欧洲电信标准协会(European Telecommunications Standards Institute,ETSI)指定的ETSI EN 301 893V1.7.1 (2012-06)的4.9节的内容。LBT机制简称“先听后说”机制,也就是说,当某一站点计划使用非授权载波时,它应该先监听是否有其他站点占用该非授权载波,当没有其他站点占用时,它才能使用该非授权载波。前述站点可以是基站(Node B)、演进型基站(eNode B)、家庭基站(Home Node B)、中继站(Relay Node,RN)、用户设备(User Equipment,UE)等可以使用非授权载波的设备。这种机制主要是为了避免:计划使用非授权载波的站点一旦直接使用非授权载波,将会对于邻近的其他正在使用非授权载波的站点带来干扰。
综上所述,现有的LTE系统使用非授权载波的技术方案中,存在以下问题:当想要使用非授权载波的站点监听到该非授权载波没有被其他站点占用时才能使用该非授权载波,该非授权载波的利用率低。

本发明的实施方式
下文中将结合附图对本发明的实施例进行详细说明。需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下,本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互任意组合。
在附图的流程图示出的步骤可以在诸如一组计算机可执行指令的计算机系统中执行。并且,虽然在流程图中示出了逻辑顺序,但是在某些情况下,可以以不同于此处的顺序执行所示出或描述的步骤。
本发明实施例中的站点可以是基站(Node B)、演进型基站(eNode B)、家庭基站(Home Node B)、中继站(Relay Node,RN)、用户设备(User Equipment,UE)等可以使用非授权载波的设备。
空闲信道评估(Clear Channel Assessment,CCA)或扩展空闲信道评估(enhanced Clear Channel Assessment,eCCA)是指在无线通信系统中,当站点需要在某一载波上发送数据之前,首先在这个载波上进行接收,如果经过给定的时间,没有发现有其他站点在此载波上发送数据,则开始发送(也即执行CCA成功、获得该载波的使用权);如果发现有其他站点在发送数据,则随机避让一段时间后再次重试此过程。该方法能够有效地避免无线信道上的冲突,也叫做载波侦听多点接入/避免冲撞(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Conflict Avoidance,CSMA/CA)。
本发明实施例提供一种载波复用的方法,其中,站点基于接收端,如图1所示,该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤101、站点获取其他的站点发送的预设信息。
其中,预设信息包括以下信息中的至少一个:该其他的站点占用的频率资源的复用条件信息、该其他的站点占用的频率资源的复用方式信息、该其他的站点占用的频率资源信息、该其他的站点占用的频率资源的占用时长信息、该其他的站点所属的运营商信息。
对于上述的预设信息,其中,其他的站点占用的频率资源的复用条件信息为该其他的站点设置的资源复用条件。其他的站点占用的频率资源的复用条件可以包括:该其他的站点支持任意系统(例如LTE系统或无线局域网络WLAN系统)下的任意运营商的相邻站点资源复用;或者,该其他的站点支持同一系统(例如LTE系统)下的任意运营商的相邻站点资源复用;或者,该其他的站点支持属于同一运营商的同一系统下的相邻站点资源复用;或者,该其他的站点支持属于同一运营商的任意系统下的相邻站点资源复用;或者,该其他的站点设置为不支持邻近站点资源复用。该其他的站点占用的频率资源的复用方式可以包括:频分复用;时分复用;码分复用。该其他的站点占用的频率资源信息包括:该其他的站点占用的信道信息(例如站点占用非授权载波5GHz其中的一个信道)、该其他的站点占用频率资源的时长信息(例如站点在LBE方式下占用一个信道11ms)。该其他的站点占用的频率资源的占用时长信息是指该其他的站点计划使用占用的频率资源的时长信息。该其他的站点所属的运营商信息可以按照国家或地区进行对应的申请。例如运营商信息的描述可以分为:地区和/或国家标识(例如中国大陆地区的标识为+86)和在该地区和/或国家内的标识(例如编号);还可以直接为运营商设置全球唯一的标识。
需要特别说明的是,大部分情况下,不同的运营商之间的站点是不支持载波复用的,因此,一个站点发送的预设信息中需要包括该站点所属的运营商信息,但是在一些情况下,该站点发送的预设信息中也可以不包括该站点所属的运营商信息,此时,预设信息中需要包括前述的可选的其他信息。例如一种可以预见的场景为:当在某一国家或地区或通过标准化方式,对于非 授权载波允许邻近站点复用使用且不限于邻近复用的站点是否为同一运营商时,则站点发送的预设信息中可以不包括该站点所属的运营商信息,只需包括前述可选的其他信息即可。如果对于邻近站点复用限制为同一运营商的站点可以复用时,则站点发送的预设信息中需至少包括该站点所属的运营商信息。
步骤102、该站点根据预设信息复用该其他的站点占用的频率资源。
示例性的,以上述中的大部分情况为例,假设预设信息中包括:该其他的站点占用的频率资源的复用条件信息以及该其他的站点所属的运营商信息,其中,该其他的站点占用的频率资源的复用条件信息具体为:该其他的站点支持同一系统下的任意运营商的相邻站点资源复用且该站点与该其他的站点属于同一系统下的站点,该站点与该其他的站点同属一运营商,则该站点根据前述复用条件信息、该其他的站点所属的运营商信息判断能够复用该其他的站点占用的频率资源。可选地,假设预设信息中还包括:该其他的站点占用的频率资源的复用方式信息、该其他的站点占用的频率资源信息以及该其他的站点占用的频率资源的占用时长信息,其中,前述复用方式信息例如为频分复用,则该站点根据该其他的站点占用的时长以及该其他的站点使用的时长确定剩余的该站点可用的时长,并在该非授权载波中将该其他的站点占用的频率资源剔除掉,以确定该站点可用的频率资源,然后该站点以频分复用的方式在该站点可用的时长内使用该站点可用的频率资源。
还需要说明的是,该其他的站点在抢占非授权载波时会占用较长的时间,例如该其他的站点在LBT机制下的FBE方式下,最多可以抢占到非授权载波10ms(一个子帧为1ms,10ms也即10个子帧)的使用权,该其他的站点一般只使用其中的几个子帧完成数据传输,对于剩余的子帧,在现有的技术方案中,如果该其他的站点不继续使用剩余的子帧则只能浪费掉,无法由另外的站点(例如上述接收到预设信息的该站点)进行复用,然而,通过本发明实施例提供的技术方案,该其他的站点在抢占到该非授权载波的使用权(例如10个子帧的使用权)后向该站点发送预设消息(例如该预设消息表明:该其他的站点使用2个子帧后剩余的8个子帧支持以频分复用的方式复用),从而可以使该站点根据接收的预设信息复用该其他的站点占用的非授权载波 (例如以频分复用的方式复用剩余的8个子帧),能使非授权载波被最大限度地利用,提高载波利用效率。
可选地,本发明实施例中的预设信息还可以包括以下信息中的至少一种:该其他的站点所在的小区标识ID、该其他的站点占用的频率资源的子帧号、该其他的站点占用的频率资源的上行子帧或下行子帧的位置。举例说明,该其他的站点以基站为例,该站点以该其他的站点下属的UE为例,抢占非授权载波成功的基站向其下属的UE发送的预设信息中包括上述的三种信息,可以使下属UE获知该基站已获得非授权载波使用权,以及该基站占用的非授权载波的子帧中哪些是上行、下行子帧,这样,该基站下属的UE不仅可以复用该基站占用的子帧,还可以在下行子帧中执行测量,例如信道状态信息(Channel Status Information,CSI)测量或无线资源管理(Radio Resource Management,RRM)测量。另外,对于该其他的站点周围临近的一些站点,例如该基站邻近的基站或不属于该基站下属的UE,这些站点也是可以利用预设信息中包括的上述的三种信息获知下行子帧位置,从而也可以执行干扰测量,以便后续使用干扰测量的结果减小信号干扰。
可选地,
上述预设信息由第一下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)承载,该预设信息由第一DCI的格式中约定的部分比特或全部比特来描述;或,
预设信息由信令承载,该信令通过物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel,PDSCH)发送,该信令由第二DCI调度。
需要说明的是,上述第一DCI与第二DCI的表述方式仅是为了描述方便而进行的区分,并不存在顺序上的限定。
对于上述的由第一DCI承载预设信息的实现方式,技术人员可以预先对第一DCI的格式中约定的部分或全部比特的取值的含义进行重新定义,使第一DCI的格式中的比特的取值与本发明实施例中的预设信息中包括的各个信息的具体内容相对应,从而实现由第一DCI来承载本发明实施例中的预设信息。举例进行说明,假设第一DCI格式固定为DCI 1A(仅是假设,具体选择哪一种DCI格式是需要通过标准协议固定的),通过对其中的部分或全部比 特的含义进行重新定义,使得重新定义的比特的含义与上述实施例中预设信息中包括的各个信息形成对应的关系,并使重新定义后的第一DCI的格式中的比特的含义成为公认的协议规定。
对于上述的由信令承载预设信息的实现方式,通过配置信令来承载本发明实施例中的预设信息,该信令通过PDSCH发送,第二DCI来调度该信令,其中,PDSCH是现有的LTE系统中的一种物理下行信道,由DCI调度信令以及在LTE系统中配置信令是本领域技术人员的惯用技术手段,在此不做详细介绍。
可选地,本发明实施例中第一DCI或第二DCI的格式为LTE Rel-12中包含的DCI的格式中的任意一种;或,所述第一DCI或所述第二DCI的格式为LTE系统以后新引入的DCI格式中的任意一种。
示例性的,第一DCI或第二DCI的格式可以是以下现有的DCI格式中的任意一种:DCI 0、DCI 1A、DCI 1B、DCI 1C、DCI 1D、DCI 2、DCI 2A、DCI 2、DCI 3、DCI 3A。前述10种格式仅是对现有的DCI格式的部分列举,并不是全部。LTE系统一直在不断演进,在后续演进过程中还可能规定新的DCI格式,第一DCI或第二DCI的格式也可以是以后LTE版本协议中新增的DCI格式中的任意一种。
可选地,该站点获取该其他的站点发送的预设信息可以为:
该站点根据接收的该其他的站点使用授权载波发送的信号,获取该其他的站点发送的预设信息。
其中,当该其他的站点抢占到非授权载波的使用权后,该其他的站点可以利用授权载波的信号来发送预设信息。当该站点也可使用该其他的站点可以使用的授权载波时,则该站点可以接收到该其他的站点使用授权载波发送的信号,并根据接收的授权载波的信号获取该其他的站点发送的预设信息。
其中,该站点根据接收的该其他的站点使用授权载波发送的信号,获取该其他的站点发送的预设信息包括:
该站点通过检测授权载波中的信号中的子帧中的物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)中的公共搜索空间或约定的搜 索空间来获取第一DCI或第二DCI,使用预设的无线网络临时标识(Radio Network Temporary Identifier,RNTI)解扰第一DCI或第二DCI,根据解扰得到的第一DCI或解扰得到的第二DCI获取预设信息;或,

需要说明的是,该其他的站点可以按照站点之间约定的以现有发送DCI的方式将第一DCI或第二DCI承载在授权载波子帧中的PDCCH或ePDCCH中的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间进行发送,然后该站点就可以在授权载波的信号中的子帧中的物理下行控制信道(PDCCH)中的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间来获取,其中约定的搜索空间可以通过标准化协议规定。
可选地,在该站点获取该其他的站点发送的预设信息之前,上述方法还可以包括:
该站点执行CCA或eCCA;
当该站点执行CCA或eCCA忙时,该站点接收所述其他的站点使用非授权载波发送的包含预设信息的信号;
相应的,该站点获取该其他的站点发送的预设信息为:
根据接收的所述非授权载波中的信号获取其他的站点发送的预设信息。
对于上述情况,需要特别说明的是,当该站点与其他的站点同时执行CCA或eCCA抢占非授权载波的使用权,而其他的站点先抢到非授权载波的使用权,即该站点执行CCA或eCCA忙时,该站点可以不执行现有CCA或eCCA中的随机避让,而是继续接收其他的站点抢占到该非授权载波的使用权后在该非授权载波的信号中发送的预设信息,从而可以获取其他的站点发送的预设信息。
可选地,该站点根据执行CCA或eCCA时接收的非授权载波中的信号,获取该其他的站点发送的预设信息包括:
该站点通过检测非授权载波中的信号中的子帧中的物理下行控制信道(PDCCH)中的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间来获取第一DCI或第二DCI,使用预设的无线网络临时标识(RNTI)解扰第一DCI或第二DCI,根据解扰得到的第一DCI或解扰得到的第二DCI获取预设信息;或,
该站点通过检测非授权载波中的信号中的子帧中的增强物理下行控制信道(ePDCCH)中的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间来获取第一DCI或第二DCI,使用预设的无线网络临时标识(RNTI)解扰第一DCI或第二DCI,根据解扰得到的第一DCI或解扰得到的第二DCI获取预设信息。
需要说明的是,该其他的站点可以按照站点之间约定的以现有发送DCI的方式将第一DCI或第二DCI承载在非授权载波子帧中的PDCCH或ePDCCH中的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间进行发送,然后该站点就可以在非授权载波的信号中的子帧中的PDCCH中的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间来获取,其中约定的搜索空间可以通过标准化协议规定。
可选地,对于步骤102,根据执行CCA或eCCA时接收的非授权载波中的信号,获取该其他的站点发送的预设信息可以为:
该站点使用预设的RNTI解扰第一DCI,获取预设信息;或,
该站点使用预设的RNTI解扰第二DCI,根据第二DCI获取信令,解析该信令以获取预设信息。
其中,该其他的站点可以使用预设无线网络临时标识(Radio Network Temporary Identifier,RNTI)对第一DCI中的循环冗余校验(Cyclic Redundancy Check,CRC)比特或第二DCI中的CRC比特加扰,该站点利用该预设的RNTI对第一DCI中的CRC比特或第二DCI中的CRC比特解扰,从而获取第一DCI或第二DCI。其中,利用RNTI加扰或者解扰DCI中的CRC比特属于现有的技术手段,在此不做详细说明。
可选地,预设的无线网络临时标识(RNTI)包括:
预先约定,且与该站点所属的运营商对应的RNTI;或,
预先约定,且与第一DCI或第二DCI对应的RNTI。
示例性的,预设的RNTI可以是该站点接收该其他站点通过系统广播发 送的用于加扰第一DCI或第二DCI时的与该站点所属运营商对应的RNTI。预设的RNTI还可以是通过标准化协议的方式约定一个RNTI作为加扰第一DCI或第二DCI时专用的DCI,例如可以将约定的RNTI记为O-RNTI,这样站点在作为发送端时按照标准化协议使用O-RNTI,同样接收端也按照标准化协议使用O-RNTI。预设的RNTI还可以是预先约定的,且与第一DCI或第二DCI对应的RNTI。
需要说明的是,当该站点使用与该站点所属的运营商对应的RNTI加扰第一DCI或第二DCI时,由于该RNTI与运营商是对应的,因此,上述实施例中的预设信息也可以不包括该站点对应的运营商信息。
本发明实施例提供的载波复用的方法,站点获取其他的站点发送的预设信息;其中,预设信息包括以下信息中的至少一个:该其他的站点占用的频率资源的复用条件信息、该其他的站点占用的频率资源的复用方式信息、该其他的站点占用的频率资源信息、该其他的站点占用的频率资源的占用时长信息、该其他的站点所属的运营商信息;该站点根据预设信息复用该其他的站点占用的频率资源。通过本发明实施例提供的技术方案,能够实现某一站点占用的非授权载波在不同站点之间进行复用,提高非授权载波的利用率。
本发明实施例还提供的一种载波复用的方法,其中,站点基于发送端,如图2所示,该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤201、站点执行CCA或eCCA。
步骤202、当该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功、获得非授权载波的使用权后,该站点发送预设信息。
其中,预设信息包括以下信息中的至少一个:该站点占用的频率资源的复用条件信息、该站点占用的频率资源的复用方式信息、该站点占用的频率资源信息、该站点占用的频率资源的占用时长信息、该站点所属的运营商信息。
对于上述的预设信息,其中,站点占用的频率资源的复用条件信息为该站点设置的资源复用条件。站点占用的频率资源的复用条件可以包括:该站点支持任意系统(例如LTE系统或无线局域网络WLAN系统)下的任意运 营商的相邻站点资源复用;或者,该站点支持同一系统(例如LTE系统)下的任意运营商的相邻站点资源复用;或者,该站点支持属于同一运营商的同一系统下的相邻站点资源复用;或者,该站点支持属于同一运营商的任意系统下的相邻站点资源复用;或者,该站点设置为不支持邻近站点资源复用。站点占用的频率资源的复用方式可以包括:频分复用;时分复用;码分复用。站点占用的频率资源信息为该站点占用的信道信息(例如站点占用非授权载波5GHz其中的一个信道)、站点占用频率资源的时长信息(例如站点在LBE方式下占用一个信道11ms)。站点占用的频率资源的占用时长信息是指站点计划使用占用的频率资源的时长信息。站点所属的运营商信息可以按照国家或地区进行对应的申请。例如运营商信息的描述可以分为:地区和/或国家标识(例如中国大陆地区的标识为+86)和在该地区和/或国家内的标识(例如编号);还可以直接为运营商设置全球唯一的标识。
需要特别说明的是,大部分情况下,不同的运营商之间的站点是不支持载波复用的,因此,一个站点发送的预设信息中需要包括该站点所属的运营商信息,但是在一些情况下,该站点发送的预设信息中也可以不包括该站点所属的运营商信息,此时,预设信息中需要包括前述的可选的其他信息。例如一种可以预见的场景为:当在某一国家或地区或通过标准化方式,对于非授权载波允许邻近站点复用使用且不限于邻近复用的站点是否为同一运营商时,则站点发送的预设信息中可以不包括该站点所属的运营商信息,只需包括前述可选的其他信息即可。如果对于邻近站点复用限制为同一运营商的站点可以复用时,则站点发送的预设信息中需至少包括该站点所属的运营商信息。
还需说明的是,站点在抢占非授权载波时会占用较长的时间,例如站点在LBT机制下的FBE方式下,最多可以抢占到非授权载波10ms(一个子帧为1ms,10ms也即10个子帧)的使用权,该站点一般只使用其中的几个子帧完成数据传输,对于剩余的子帧,在现有的技术方案中,如果该站点不继续使用剩余的子帧则只能浪费掉,无法由其他的站点进行复用,然而,通过本发明实施例提供的技术方案,该站点在抢占到该非授权载波的使用权(例如10个子帧的使用权)后向其余站点发送预设消息(例如该预设消息表明: 该站点使用2个子帧后剩余的8个子帧支持以频分复用的方式复用),从而可以使其余站点根据接收的预设信息复用该站点占用的非授权载波(例如以频分复用的方式复用剩余的8个子帧),能使非授权载波被最大限度地利用,提高载波利用效率。
可选地,本发明实施例中的预设信息还可以包括以下信息中的至少一种:该站点所在的小区标识ID、该站点占用的频率资源的子帧号、该站点占用的频率资源的上行子帧或下行子帧的位置。举例说明,站点以基站为例,其他的站点以该站点下属的UE为例,抢占非授权载波成功的基站向其下属的UE发送的预设信息中包括上述的三种信息,可以使下属UE获知该基站已获得非授权载波使用权,以及该基站占用的非授权载波的子帧中哪些是上行、下行子帧,这样,该基站下属的UE可以在下行子帧中执行测量,例如信道状态信息(Channel Status Information,CSI)测量或无线资源管理(Radio Resource Management,RRM)测量。另外,对于邻近的其他站点,例如该基站邻近的基站或不属于上述抢占到非授权载波的基站下属的UE,也是可以利用预设信息中包括的上述信息获知下行子帧位置,从而也可以执行干扰测量,以便后续使用干扰测量的结果减小信号干扰。
可选地,
上述预设信息由第一下行控制信息(DCI)承载,该预设信息由第一DCI的格式中约定的部分比特或全部比特来描述;或,
预设信息由信令承载,该信令通过物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel,PDSCH)发送,该信令由第二DCI调度。
需要说明的是,上述第一DCI与第二DCI的表述方式仅是为了描述方便而进行的区分,并不存在顺序上的限定。
对于上述的由第一DCI承载预设信息的实现方式,技术人员可以预先对第一DCI的格式中约定的部分或全部比特的取值的含义进行重新定义,使第一DCI的格式中的比特的取值与本发明实施例中的预设信息中包括的各个信息的具体内容相对应,从而实现由第一DCI来承载本发明实施例中的预设信息。举例进行说明,假设第一DCI格式固定为DCI 1A(仅是假设,具体选择哪一种DCI格式是需要通过标准协议固定的),通过对其中的部分或全部比 特的含义进行重新定义,使得重新定义的比特的含义与上述实施例中预设信息中包括的各个信息形成对应的关系,并使重新定义后的第一DCI的格式中的比特的含义成为公认的协议规定。
对于上述的由信令承载预设信息的实现方式,通过配置信令来承载本发明实施例中的预设信息,该信令通过PDSCH发送,第二DCI来调度该信令,其中,PDSCH是现有的LTE系统中的一种物理下行信道,由DCI调度信令以及在LTE系统中配置信令是本领域技术人员的惯用技术手段,在此不做详细介绍。
可选地,本发明实施例中第一DCI或第二DCI的格式为LTE Rel-12中包含的DCI的格式中的任意一种;或,所述第一DCI或所述第二DCI的格式为LTE系统以后新引入的DCI格式中的任意一种。
示例性的,第一DCI或第二DCI的格式可以是以下现有的DCI格式中的任意一种:DCI 0、DCI 1A、DCI 1B、DCI 1C、DCI 1D、DCI 2、DCI 2A、DCI 2、DCI 3、DCI 3A。前述10种格式仅是对现有的DCI格式的部分列举,并不是全部。LTE系统一直在不断演进,在后续演进过程中还可能规定新的DCI格式,第一DCI或第二DCI的格式也可以是以后LTE版本协议中新增的DCI格式中的任意一种。
可选地,
第一DCI或第二DCI,由该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功的子帧承载;或,
第一DCI或第二DCI,由该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功的子帧之后抢占的子帧承载。
其中,使用约定的物理资源/物理信道承载第一DCI或第二DCI;或者,使用相对某一已知物理资源/物理信道的位置固定的物理资源来承载第一DCI或第二DCI。举例说明,站点一般在占用非授权载波时,都会占用较多的子帧(例如FBE方式下,最多可以占用10ms,一个子帧为1ms),该站点向其他的站点发送的预设信息表明:该站点可以和邻近站点复用频率资源,复用的方式为频分复用,该站点选择使用该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功的子帧(即 上述约定的物理资源)来承载第一DCI或第二DCI,这样便于相邻的站点及时接收第一DCI或第二DCI,并及时执行频分复用。如果该站点占用资源后,并不急于与其他站点进行复用频率资源(例如站点占用时需要传输的负载较高),等传输一段时间后,站点负载降低时,再发送第一DCI或第二DCI,以支持与邻近站点复用频率资源,此时站点使用该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功的子帧之后的子帧(即上述相对某一已知物理资源的位置固定的物理资源)来承载第一DCI或第二DCI。
可选地,承载第一DCI或第二DCI的子帧选择成功后,可以在选择的子帧的PDCCH或ePDCCH中的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间发送第一DCI或第二DCI。
其中,
该站点使用该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功的子帧中的物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)中的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间发送第一DCI或第二DCI;或,
该站点使用该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功的子帧中的增强物理下行控制信道(enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel,ePDCCH)中的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间发送第一DCI或第二DCI;或,
该站点使用该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功的子帧之后抢占的子帧中的PDCCH中的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间发送第一DCI或第二DCI;或,
该站点使用该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功的子帧之后抢占的子帧中的ePDCCH中的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间发送第一DCI或第二DCI。
需要说明的是,如果该站点选择使用该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功的子帧中的PDCCH中的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间发送第一DCI或第二DCI,为了便于使用该PDCCH,可以对其进行简单修改,其中约定的搜索空间可以通过标准化协议规定。对于该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功的子帧,应该固定PDCCH在子帧的正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)符号中的位置,可选地,固定1个或2个OFDM符号。当选择的子帧中不存在现有的LTE PDCCH时(现有的PDCCH占用最多为子 帧的前4个OFDM符号),可以在该选择的子帧中重新选择一个或多个OFDM符号固定,然后按照现有的发送PDCCH的方式进行发送。另外,如果固定为2个OFDM符号时,当该子帧中剩余的OFDM符号不够2个时,仍然使用一个OFDM符号以避免跨子帧传输。另外,由于本发明实施例中可以不使用现有的PDCCH的物理控制格式指示信道(Physical Control Format Indicator Channel,PCFICH)和信道物理混合自动重传指示信道(Physical Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel,PHICH),因此还可以在调整PDCCH时使本发明实施例中使用的PDCCH不支持上述两个信道。
如果该站点选择使用该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功的子帧之后的子帧中的PDCCH中的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间发送第一DCI或第二DCI,具体的发送方式参考上述内容实现。
如果该站点选择使用该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功的子帧中的ePDCCH的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间发送第一DCI或第二DCI,该站点需要事先将用于传输第一DCI或第二DCI的ePDCCH的配置信息和资源信息(例如使用的物理资源块(Physical Resource Block,PRB))进行约定后发送。这样其他站点(包括下属UE)才能正确发现和接收ePDCCH中的第一DCI或第二DCI。
如果该站点选择使用该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功的子帧之后的子帧中的ePDCCH的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间发送第一DCI或第二DCI,具体的发送方式参考上述内容实现。
可选地,
第一DCI或第二DCI,由与该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功的子帧的时间对应的授权载波中的子帧承载;或,
第一DCI或第二DCI,由与该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功的子帧之后抢占的子帧的时间对应的授权载波中的子帧承载。
目前LTE系统已支持载波聚合技术(Carrier Aggregation,CA),该站点在抢占到非授权载波的使用权后就可以与授权载波进行载波聚合,因此,该站点也可以使用授权载波来发送第一DCI或第二DCI,不过,必须保证用于 发送第一DCI或第二DCI的授权载波中的子帧与能用于发送第一DCI或第二DCI的该站点占用的非授权载波中的子帧在时间上是对应的。
可选地,承载第一DCI或第二DCI的子帧选择成功后,可以在选择的子帧的PDCCH或ePDCCH中的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间发送第一DCI或第二DCI。
其中,
该站点使用与该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功的子帧的时间对应的授权载波中的子帧中的物理下行控制信道(PDCCH)中的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间发送第一DCI或第二DCI;或,
该站点使用与该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功的子帧的时间对应的授权载波中的子帧中的增强物理下行控制信道(ePDCCH)中的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间发送第一DCI或第二DCI;或,
该站点使用与该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功的子帧之后抢占的子帧的时间对应的授权载波中的子帧中的PDCCH中的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间发送第一DCI或第二DCI;或,
该站点使用与该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功的子帧之后抢占的子帧的时间对应的授权载波中的子帧中的ePDCCH中的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间发送第一DCI或第二DCI。
需要说明的是,该站点选择授权载波中的子帧的PDCCH的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间向其他的站点发送第一DCI或第二DCI的方式可以参考上述该站点使用非授权载波中的子帧的PDCCH的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间向其他的站点发送第一DCI或第二DCI的方式,在此不做赘述;该站点选择授权载波中的子帧的ePDCCH的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间向其他的站点发送第一DCI或第二DCI的方式可以参考上述该站点使用非授权载波中的子帧的ePDCCH的公共搜索空间或约定的搜索空间向其他的站点发送第一DCI或第二DCI的方式,在此不做赘述。
可选地,第一DCI或第二DCI由该站点使用预设的无线网络临时标识(RNTI)进行加扰。
其中,该站点可以使用预设无线网络临时标识(Radio Network Temporary Identifier,RNTI)对第一DCI中的CRC比特或第二DCI中的CRC比特加扰,其中,利用RNTI加扰DCI中的CRC比特属于现有的技术手段,在此不做详细说明。
可选地,预设的无线网络临时标识(RNTI)包括:
预先约定,且与该站点所属的运营商对应的RNTI;或,
预先约定,且与第一DCI或第二DCI对应的RNTI。
示例性的,预设的RNTI可以是该站点接收该其他站点通过系统广播发送的用于加扰第一DCI或第二DCI时的与该站点所属运营商对应的RNTI。预设的RNTI还可以是通过标准化协议的方式约定一个RNTI作为加扰第一DCI或第二DCI时专用的DCI,例如可以将约定的RNTI记为O-RNTI,这样站点在作为发送端时按照标准化协议使用O-RNTI,同样接收端也按照标准化协议使用O-RNTI。预设的RNTI还可以是预先约定的,且与第一DCI或第二DCI对应的RNTI。
需要说明的是,当该站点使用与该站点所属的运营商对应的RNTI加扰第一DCI或第二DCI时,由于该RNTI与运营商是对应的,因此,上述实施例中的预设信息也可以不包括该站点对应的运营商信息。
本发明实施例提供的一种载波复用的方法,站点执行CCA或eCCA,当站点执行CCA或eCCA成功、获得非授权载波的使用权后,该站点发送预设信息;其中,预设信息包括以下信息中的至少一个:该站点占用的频率资源的复用条件信息、该站点占用的频率资源的复用方式信息、该站点占用的频率资源信息、该站点占用的频率资源的占用时长信息、该站点所属的运营商信息。本发明实施例提供的技术方案,站点在抢占到非授权载波的使用权后,向其他的站点发送所占用的频率资源的复用条件信息,能够实现站点占用的非授权载波在不同站点之间的复用,提高非授权载波的利用率。
为了使本领域技术人员能够更清楚地理解本申请提供的技术方案,下面通过具体的实施例,对本发明实施例提供的载波复用的方法进行详细说明。
实施例一
站点执行CCA或eCCA(CCA/eCCA)进行非授权载波的抢占,当站点执行CCA/eCCA成功、抢占到非授权载波使用权,站点向其他的站点发送DCI格式的信息。其中,使用DCI格式中的比特分别描述站点所属的运营商信息、该站点具体占用的频率资源信息、该站点具体占用的频率资源的占用时长信息。其中,频率资源信息采用PRB资源分配的方式来描述。其中,DCI格式为LTE现有的DCI格式中某一个,并约定该DCI格式用来描述上述信息的发送。例如,可以约定使用现有的DCI 1C格式。
站点对于DCI 1C格式中的比特添加CRC校验比特,然后使用约定的(或标准规定的)RNTI(不妨记为O-RNTI)对于DCI 1C格式中的比特的CRC校验比特进行加扰。然后对于得到的比特数据进行编码并发送(编码方式可以沿用现有LTE的DCI 1C的编码方式)。
另外,对于DCI 1C格式中未使用的比特位仍然保留(例如置0或置1),使得DCI 1C的总比特数保持不变(其中,每一个DCI格式的比特数是一定的)。
站点在非授权载波中发送该DCI格式的信息,选择在站点执行CCA/eCCA成功的子帧中发送,或者在该成功的子帧的下一个子帧中发送。
其他站点,接收该站点发送的前述DCI格式的信息,并解析DCI格式中比特的含义,进一步根据比特的含义确定自己是否能够同时使用非授权载波,以及如何使用、使用哪部分频率资源等。具体而言,其他站点,在约定的发送前述DCI 1C的资源中采用约定的O-RNTI进行盲检,然后解码DCI,获取其中的比特信息,并解析比特信息。如果该站点允许其他站点与自己复用使用非授权载波,那么其他站点则使用剩余的频率资源,在该站点占用的时间内进行复用,当超过了该站点占用的时间外,其他站点将停止复用。
实施例二
站点执行CCA/eCCA成功后,站点使用约定的RNTI(例如站点使用与该站点所属运营商对应的RNTI),来加扰DCI 1C比特添加的CRC比特(这里指示示意性选择DCI 1C格式,其他DCI格式也是可以的,只要事先约定好即可,且此处DCI格式中的比特的含义与实施例一中的DCI 1C格式中的比特的含义不同),对于加扰后所得比特进行编码,站点然后发送该DCI 1C 格式的信息,其中,该DCI 1C中的比特为信令A配置的控制信息(主要是实现资源分配和编码调制信息),站点再根据DCI 1C中的调制编码方式、资源分配等信息对于信令A进行调制编码、以在对应的资源上映射发送信令A(信令A被看做数据在PDSCH中发送)。其中,信令A包括的信息为实施例一中使用的DCI 1C格式中的比特描述的各个信息。
站点用来发送信令A的资源可选为站点执行CCA/eCCA成功的子帧或下一个子帧。信令A的控制信息可以在授权载波或竞争到的非授权载波中发送,使用授权载波时需保证授权载波的子帧与非授权载波的子帧时间上对应,可选地,使用PDCCH或ePDCCH(PDCCH/ePDCCH)在前述子帧中发送。
其他的站点作为接收端,根据约定的RNTI(例如使用与该站点所属运营商对应的RNTI),在约定的资源(用来发送包含上述DCI 1C的PDCCH/ePDCCH的资源)中盲检PDCCH/ePDCCH的中的信令A对应的DCI1C,可选地,为了简化接收端的复杂度,作为接收端的其他的站点首先使用与自身所属运营商对应的RNTI进行尝试盲检,其次可以使用允许频率复用的运营商的RNTI进行尝试盲检,其中允许频率复用的运营商通过协商获知。然后解码该DCI 1C,根据该DCI 1C中的信息(例如资源信息、调制编码信息等)进一步从物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel,PDSCH)中接收信令A,然后解码信令A,最终获得信令A。之后接收端可以按照实施例一的方式进行进一步处理。
实施例三
如果站点是UE,当UE执行CCA或eCCA(CCA/eCCA)成功、获得非授权载波使用权后,UE发送上行数据,其中上行数据的上行授权信息是基站侧预先发送给UE的,可以是在授权载波或非授权载波中发送。可选地,UE执行CCA/eCCA的子帧位置也是基站侧预先通知给UE的。基站在对应的子帧中接收UE发送的上行数据,如果基站正确的解码该数据,那么基站可以认为是下属的UE占用了非授权载波,同时基站获得该非授权载波的使用权,并根据业务需求调度下属UE(包括前述执行CCA/eCCA成功的UE,以及其他UE)。基站侧只能在UE占用非授权载波的剩余时长内使用该非授权载波。例如,UE抢占成功后,占用最长为10ms,UE发送上行数据使用了1ms,那 么基站只能使用剩余的9ms。UE侧也可以上报占用的时长,或者说占用的时长事先约定为固定值。这样基站侧可以计算剩余的时长。当UE侧不上报占用时长时,那么基站能够使用的最大时长为:管制规定的最大占用时长减去UE使用的时长。UE使用的时长,可以包括UE执行CCA/eCCA的时间部分,也可以不包括。
当非授权载波复用的条件中限定运营商时,基站也可以再按照实施例一中的方式进行一次运营商信息的发送,以支持邻近站点的复用,提升非授权载波利用效率。
实施例四
如果站点为UE,当UE执行CCA/eCCA成功后,抢占到非授权载波,UE在约定的资源中发送DCI格式的信息,其中DCI格式中的比特为上述的实施例一中DCI格式中的比特含义。UE发送DCI格式的信息的方式可以采用前述的实施例一、二、或三中站点发送DCI格式的信息的方式。
另外,UE可以使用自己的小区无线网络临时标识(C-RNTI)替代前述几个实施例中约定的RNTI。此时UE所属的基站能够接收UE发送的DCI格式的信息,该基站解析接收到的DCI格式的信息,并将所述数据信息通知邻近站点,例如通过X2口或系统广播消息发送。
上述几个实施例中,站点发送包含DCI格式的信息的子帧位置为优先选择CCA/eCCA执行成功的子帧,其次,可以选择CCA/eCCA成功之后的第一个占用的子帧来发送。实际上,根据不同的场景,发送DCI格式的信息的子帧位置略有差异。例如,在要求执行CCA/eCCA,且规定单次占用最大占用时长较短的地区,例如欧洲、日本等,该DCI格式的信息在站点抢占成功后,越早发送越有利。例如使用CCA/eCCA成功的子帧,或者下一个子帧发送(当然之后占用的其他子帧也可以发送,但是能够复用的时间就变短,效率降低);在单次占用时间比较长时,可以使用CCA/eCCA成功的子帧之后的发送时,效率也会降低,但是降低的幅度不明显。
实施例五
为运营商事先约定或分配对应的RNTI,然后每个运营商的站点使用每个 运营商对应的RNTI。
站点执行CCA/eCCA成功的、获得非授权载波的使用权,使用该站点所属运营商对应的RNTI对于约定的DCI格式中的比特添加的CRC比特加扰,之后对于所得到的比特进行编码发送(具体可以沿用现有LTE的编码方式)。
对于接收端的站点,首先使用所属运营商对应的RNTI盲检DCI,如果盲检成功,那么解析该DCI中的比特,根据所述比特的约定的含义来确定是否实施复用非授权载波、以及如何复用。具体可以参考前述几个实施例,例如实施例一的复用方式。
如果不同运营商之间也支持非授权载波复用,那么接收端的站点也可以从支持非授权载波复用的运营商的对应的RNTI中选择某一运营商的RNTI进行盲检,对于不支持的复用的运营商的约定RNTI不使用其进行盲检。
实施例六
当UE执行CCA成功获得非授权载波使用权后,UE发送预留信号,该预留信号可以体现出该UE下属于哪一个基站,预留信号是指在非授权载波中发送的,为了防止非授权载波被其他站点抢走而发送的用来占住信道的信号,也可以称之为占用信号。预留信号可以采用UE的C-RNTI加扰,或者采用基站为UE分配的序列,例如某一前导(preamble)序列。
基站侧接收该预留信号,如果能够正确获取该预留信号,那么基站侧将确定为自己下属UE成功抢占到非授权载波使用权,同时基站侧获得该非授权载波的使用权。如果基站侧不能正确解码或获取该预留信号时,则基站不能获得非授权载波使用权。
基站获取非授权载波使用权后,基站可以按照实施例一中的方式使用。
当非授权载波复用的条件中限定运营商时,基站也可以再按照实施例一中的方式进行一次运营商信息的发送,以便支持邻近站点的复用,提升非授权载波利用效率。

当所述时长大于或等于单次所述站点执行CCA或eCCA的时长时,则所述站点判断能发送所述预留信号。
为了使本领域技术人员能够更清楚地理解本发明实施例提供的技术方案,下面通过具体的实施例,对本发明实施例提供的信息发送方法进行详细说明。
在LTE系统中,通过授权辅助接入(License Assisted Access,LAA)技术高效聚合授权频段和非授权频段可以有效提升数据传输速率。但是,由于引入LBT机制,不管是FBE方式还是LBE方式,由于LTE系统中的OFDM符号时长不是单次CCA或eCCA(CCA/eCCA)的时长的整数倍,因此站点(例如站点为基站)执行CCA/eCCA成功后,在执行CCA/eCCA的子帧内往往会产生非完整的OFDM符号以及完整的OFDM符号(例如站点执行CCA/eCCA成功的时刻,恰好与OFDM符号边界对齐,非完整OFDM符号时长为0,或者距离OFDM符号边界时长小于单次CCA/eCCA时长)。然而,LTE系统中用户数据一般都是采用完整OFDM符号传输的,那么对于非完整OFDM符号,站点需要发送预留信号,预留信号是指在非授权载波中发送的,为了防止非授权载波被其他站点抢走而发送的用来占住信道的信号,也可以称之为占用信号。
由于站点使用非授权载波是非连续的,所以接收端(例如该站点的下属UE)在下一次接收该非授权载波中的数据时,需要临时的调整动态增益控制(Automatic Gain Control,AGC),使得接收信号效率最高。由于接收端调整AGC时一般需要使用发送端(该站点)发送的已知序列,其中,接收端调整AGC的具体的调整方式有很多种,可以参考公知常识。因此,抢占到非授权载波的该站点为了支持接收端调整AGC需发送已知序列,该已知序列还可以是预留信号的一部分。
实施例一
当站点抢占到非授权载波时,站点参考对于该非授权载波聚合的授权载波的子帧、OFDM符号定时,确认非授权载波中产生的非完整OFDM符号时长,根据该时长确认非完整OFDM符号中的预留信号是否能被发送。如果站 点确认可以发送,则站点发送非完整OFDM符号中的预留信号,同时站点在该非完整OFDM符号之后的第一个完整OFDM符号中不再使用资源发送用于支持AGC调整的序列,从而节约部分资源,且该第一个完整OFDM符号资源可以用于发送用户数据;如果确认不能发送,或者不需要发送,则站点在之后的第一个完整OFDM符号中使用资源发送用于支持AGC调整的序列。
接收端(例如该站点下属的UE),如果接收到非完整OFDM符号中的预留信号时,则使用该预留信号设置调整AGC,并确认该站点在该非完整OFDM符号之后的第一个完整OFDM符号中不再发送用于调整AGC的序列,认为前述第一个完整OFDM符号的资源中是有效的用户数据;如果未接收到非授权载波中的预留信号,则接收端确认该站点在第一个完整OFDM符号中发送用于调整AGC的序列,接收端接收该序列并用于AGC调整,同时确定该序列对应的资源中不包括有效的用户数据。
实施例二
当站点抢占到非授权载波时,站点参考对于该非授权载波聚合的授权载波的子帧、OFDM符号定时,确认非授权载波中产生的非完整OFDM符号时长,根据该时长确认非完整OFDM符号中的预留信号是否能被发送。如果站点确认可以发送,则站点发送非完整OFDM符号中的预留信号,同时站点在之后的第一个完整OFDM符号中仍然使用资源发送用于支持AGC调整的序列;如果确认不能发送,或者不需要发送,则站点在之后的第一个完整OFDM符号中使用资源发送用于支持AGC调整的序列。
接收端(例如该站点下属的UE),如果接收到非完整OFDM符号中的预留信号时,则使用非完整OFDM符号中的预留信号设置调整AGC,同时在之后的第一个完整OFDM符号中接收数据时,剔除第一个完整OFDM符号中用于发送调整AGC的序列所使用的资源;如果未接收到非授权载波中的预留信号时,则接收端确认该站点在之后的第一个完整OFDM符号中发送用于调整AGC的序列,接收端接收该序列并用于AGC调整。
与实施例一中的方案相比,实施例二的方案提高了站点发送预留信号以及接收端接收预留信号的可靠性。
此外,本发明实施例还提供一种数据传输方法,该方法包括:
站点按预定义或半静态调整的帧周期对非授权载波进行CCA或eCCA(CCA/eCCA);其中,所述站点开始执行CCA/eCCA的位置位于所述帧周期内的第一个子帧内从时刻点N之后的任意时刻点位置;
在所述帧周期内,所述站点在执行CCA/eCCA的子帧或执行CCA/eCCA时隙的剩余时间区域发送预留信号或在所述剩余时间区域内的完整OFDM符号中发送数据,或者从所述执行CCA/eCCA的子帧的下一子帧或所述执行CCA/eCCA的时隙的下一个时隙开始传输数据。
可选地,该站点初次开始CCA/eCCA的位置可以根据系统配置确定,或者由该站点随机选择。后续该站点执行CCA/eCCA的位置根据该站点前一次/前L次(L值事先约定)CCA/eCCA的结果进行调整,具体如下:
当该站点在预设统计时间内,连续或累计执行CCA或eCCA失败次数达到预定阈值时,则该站点将执行CCA或eCCA的位置提前一个或多个单位时间再执行CCA/eCCA;或者,
当该站点在该预设统计时间内,连续或者累计CCA或eCCA成功次数达到预定阈值时,则该站点将执行CCA或eCCA的位置延后一个或多个单位时间或者重新配置执行CCA或eCCA的位置(包括默认配置到上一次相同的位置)或随机选择执行CCA或eCCA的位置,再执行CCA/eCCA;
其中,上述单位时间为执行一个CCA或eCCA的时长、或者一个OFDM符号的时长、或者两个OFDM符号时长。
需要说明的是,在该帧周期内,所述站点执行CCA或eCCA以前的时间(包括所述站点执行CCA或eCCA的时刻)为空白区域,该站点在空白区域不发送任何数据;N或者空白区域时长为根据帧周期长度及国家或地区法规关于非授权载波的管制确定的预定义值。从该帧周期起始点开始至N时刻点的间隔时长不小于帧周期长度的5%,其中,包括单次CCA/eCCA时长。当所述剩余时间区域内存在完整LTE OFDM符号时,数据可以从第一个完整的OFDM符号开始发送。
为了使本领域技术人员能够更清楚地理解本发明实施例提供的技术方案,下面通过具体的实施例,对本发明实施例提供的数据传输的方法进行详 细说明。
实施例一
本实施例对站点通过系统定义一个LBT时隙或子帧的方法执行CCA或eCCA进行非授权载波竞争接入及数据传输的具体过程进行说明。
站点用该方法进行LBT的方式为:
系统对帧周期内设置LBT位置和时长,比如设置2ms、4ms或10ms的帧周期定义一个LBT时隙(按照LTE协议执行)或子帧,该帧周期内CCA/eCCA的长度固定,但是起始位置不固定。并且,执行CCA或eCCA之前帧结构内是空白区域,且空白区域的符号数目要满足管制要求(最小为帧长的5%)。对于2ms的帧周期,则空白区域加CCA/eCCA的时间至少为2个OFDM符号;对于4ms的帧周期,则空白区域加CCA/eCCA的时间至少为3个OFDM符号;对于10ms的帧周期,则空白区域加CCA/eCCA的时间至少为7个OFDM符号;该时隙或子帧剩余的OFDM符号用于发送占用信号。
每个站点初次进行CCA或eCCA所在的定义的LBT时隙或子帧的位置系统定义相同,或者由站点随机选择。后续该站点进行CCA或eCCA开始的符号位置根据该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功次数和/或占用时长的统计进行调整。如果该站点在统计时间内连续n(n>预定义门限值T,T为正整数)次接入不成功,则该站点将执行CCA/eCCA所在的符号或位置不断提前一个单位时间,比如一个执行CCA或eCCA的时长,或者一个OFDM符号的时长,或者两个OFDM符号的时长,直到该站点执行CCA或eCCA的位置落入其它站点对应的空白区域内,也即该站点执行CCA或eCCA成功为止。
相反,如果一个站点连续CCA/eCCA成功m(m>预定义门限M,M为正整数)次,则该站点下次执行CCA或eCCA时所在LBT时隙或子帧的符号位置重置到系统定义的位置,或者该站点按照单位时间不断延后,即,使该站点的空白区域不断拉大,以便其他的站点的CCA或eCCA进入到该站点的空白区域内,接入比该站点更早。
其中,预定义门限T,M的值与帧周期的长度有关。当帧周期较长时,T 和M的值较小;当帧周期较短时,T和M的值较大。比如,当帧周期为4ms时,T和M的值可以分别为3和4;当帧周期为10ms时,T和M的值可以分别为2和1。
结合图6进行说明,假设每个站点采用的帧周期为2ms,每个运营商的站点执行CCA或eCCA的位置可以位于该帧周期中第一个子帧或第一个时隙内从第二个符号后的任意符号位置。运营商2的站点如果第一次执行CCA或eCCA的位置在第四个符号没有检测成功,则第二次可以换到第二个符号执行CCA或eCCA,由于落入运营商1的站点的空白区域内则CCA/eCCA成功。
如果运营商2的站点抢占非授权载波成功,则该站点需要在执行CCA或CCA的结束位置和数据开始传输的定时位置中间的时间内发送预留信号。所述预留信号一方面用于占用载波,另一方面可以实现一些测量,比如RRM测量或者信道质量测量,AGC调整等功能。预留信号为前导序列、参考信号或者部分用户数据。同时,预留信号还可以携带运营商信息,通知运营商2的其他站点也可以在该非授权载波上进行数据传输,或者预留信号还可以携带小区标识,通知与该站点属于同小区的其它UE实现上行多用户复用。
LBT时隙所在的子帧的剩余时隙用于传输用户的部分数据,或者用于发送主同步信号(Primary Synchronization Signal,PSS)或辅同步信号(Secondary Synchronization Signal,SSS),小区专用导频(Cell-specific Reference Signal,CRS),信道状态信息测量导频信号(Channel Status Information-Reference Signal,CSI-RS)或者探测参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal,SRS)或者前导序列。
通过该实施例可以看出利用上述本发明实施例提供的方法使得不同站点接入非授权载波的时刻随机化,解决了LTE系统在非授权载波频段进行操作时,不同站点接入时遇到的碰撞问题以及不公平问题,提高了频谱效率。
本发明实施例还提供一种解决公平接入非授权载波的方法,该方法包括:
不同运营商的站点在帧周期内使用不同的执行CCA/eCCA的起始位置,且使得不同运营商的站点的所述起始位置交替的、先于彼此出现。
可选地,确定帧周期内为CCA/eCCA设置固定的时间范围,在该时间范 围内每个运营商配置或设置站点执行CCA/eCCA的起始位置。
可选地,运营商之间通过协商CCA/eCCA的起始位置,并通过OAM(操作维护管理)对于站点进行配置CCA/eCCA的起始位置。
可选地,运营商的站点在设置自己的CCA/eCCA的起始位置时,先接收非授权载波中且邻近的其他运营商的站点中已经配置的CCA/eCCA位置信息,其中,位置信息为描述该站点在时间方向一系列的CCA/eCCA位置;然后再按照交替的、先于彼此出现的原则确定自己的CCA/eCCA位置。
可选地,已经确定了自己CCA/eCCA位置信息的站点,通过授权载波或非授权载波将该信息通过广播方式或X2口或S1口发送。
可选地,当有Q个运营商时,设置连续的Q个帧周期作为一个交替的循环周期,分别在1至Q个帧周期中分别设置第1个至第Q个运营商的CCA/eCCA位置起始时间分别先于其他运营商。例如Q为3时,那么3个帧周期为一个交替的循环周期,在循环周期的第一个帧周期中,设置第一个运营商的CCA/eCCA位置先于其他两个运营商的CCA/eCCA位置;在循环周期的第2个帧周期中,设置第二个运营商的CCA/eCCA位置先于其他两个运营商的CCA/eCCA位置;在循环周期的第3个帧周期中,设置第三个运营商的CCA/eCCA位置先于其他两个运营商的CCA/eCCA位置。
为了使本领域技术人员能够更清楚地理解本发明实施例提供的技术方案,下面通过具体的实施例,对本发明实施例提供的解决公平接入非授权载波的方法进行详细说明。
实施例一
如图7,帧结构中为CCA/eCCA设置固定的时间范围,例如图7中的G时长。运营商1和运营商2的站点在该G时长的范围内执行CCA/eCCA,并使得彼此帧周期内执行CCA/eCCA的时间位置交替先于彼此出现。
运营商1和运营商2协商并通过OAM方式配置各自站点使得彼此执行CCA/eCCA的时间位置交替的,先于彼此出现。例如图7中,运营商1的站点在第一个帧周期内CCA/eCCA起始位置先于运营商2的,这样运营商1执行CCA/eCCA结束后(执行CCA/eCCA成功)发送预留信号,此时运营商2 的站点仍然在执行CCA/eCCA(未结束),此时会发现非授权载波中有信号发送,从而发送CCA/eCCA执行的后半段时间内非授权载波为忙,从而不能抢占到非授权载波。但是第二个帧周期内,运营商1的CCA/eCCA起始位置设置为晚于运营商2的,运营商2的站点执行CCA/eCCA就会获得成功,而运营商1就会失败。从而第二个帧周期内,运营商2获得非授权载波使用权。第三个帧周期重复第一个帧周期的CCA/eCCA起始位置设置,第四个帧周期重复第二个帧周期的CCA/eCCA起始位置设置,以此类推。
又例如,如果运营商1的站点在第一个帧周期内没有负载需要发送,从而运营商1的站点就会执行CCA/eCCA和发送预留信号,此时运营商2的站点又有数据发送需求,那么运营商2执行CCA/eCCA后,仍然可以获得非授权载波的使用权。从而避免了直接按照交替的时分方式分配资源带来的资源和需求不匹配时的浪费问题(例如第一帧周期使用权分给运营商1,第二帧周期使用权分配给运营商2,以此类推;但是第一帧周期时,运营商1的站点没有发送数据的需求,而运营商2有发送数据需求,但是运营商2却不能使用非授权载波,从而使得资源浪费)。本方案仅仅提供了公平的接入机会,从而很好地解决资源和需求不匹配时的浪费问题。
也可以是,运营商站点使用非授权载波之前,先按照本地运营商的数量确定好自己在每一次帧周期中的位置,且保证公平性。其他运营商的站点在使用非授权载波之前,先接收已经使用该载波的站点发送的相关的CCA/eCCA位置信息,从而再按照公平性的原则确定自己的CCA/eCCA位置,并把自己的CCA/eCCA位置信息通过广播方式或X2口/S1口发送。公平性原则,可以采用下面的方式,例如有Q个运营商,那么在连续的Q个帧周期作为一个循环周期,分别在1至Q个帧周期中分别设置第1个至第Q个运营商的CCA/eCCA位置起始时间分别先于其他运营商。
也可以考虑空口交互的方式获得CCA/eCCA位置信息,例如,运营商1的站点广播自己CCA位置的信息通过授权载波或非授权载波,计划使用非授权载波的运营商2的站点需要先监听并检测附近已经部署的异运营商的站点的CCA位置信息,然后再确定自己的CCA位置信息,从而以保证接入的公平性。
