- MTC Machine-Type Communications
- UEs User Equipments
- the low-cost MTC terminal is realized by limiting the use band of the uplink (UL) and the downlink (DL) to a part of the system band.
- the system band corresponds to, for example, an existing LTE band (20 MHz or the like), a component carrier (CC), or the like.
- the same signal is repeatedly transmitted over a plurality of subframes in the downlink (DL) and / or uplink (UL), so that the received signal-to-interference noise ratio (SINR: Signal) -to-Interference plus Noise Ratio) is considered to apply repetition.
- SINR Signal-to-interference noise ratio
- the present invention has been made in view of such a point, and in the communication of a user terminal in which the use band is limited to a part of the system band, even in the case of applying repetitive transmission, the frequency utilization efficiency is improved.
- One of the objects is to provide a user terminal, a radio base station, and a radio communication method capable of suppressing reduction.
- a user terminal is a user terminal in which a use band is limited to a narrow part of a system band, and receives downlink control information (DCI) including information on the number of repetitions.
- DCI downlink control information
- a control unit that determines the number of repetitions related to transmission and / or reception of a predetermined signal based on the information about the number of repetitions, and the information about the number of repetitions is applied to the predetermined signal It is determined in association with MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme).
- MCS Modulation and Coding Scheme
- the present invention it is possible to suppress a reduction in frequency utilization efficiency even when repeated transmission is applied in communication of a user terminal whose use band is limited to a narrow part of the system band.
- a low-cost MTC terminal it is considered to allow a reduction in processing capability and simplify the hardware configuration.
- the peak rate is reduced, the transport block size is limited, and resource blocks (RB (Resource Block), PRB (Physical Resource Block)) are compared to existing user terminals (LTE terminals). It is considered to apply the restriction on the reception and the restriction on the reception RF.
- RB Resource Block
- PRB Physical Resource Block
- the low cost MTC terminal may be simply referred to as an MTC terminal.
- An existing user terminal may be referred to as a normal UE or a non-MTC UE.
- the upper limit of the use band of the MTC terminal is limited to a predetermined narrow band (for example, 1.4 MHz). Is done.
- the MTC terminal whose bandwidth is limited is considered to operate within the LTE / LTE-A system band.
- the MTC terminal may be represented as a terminal whose maximum band to be supported is a narrow band that is a part of the system band, or a terminal that has a transmission / reception performance in a narrower band than the LTE / LTE-A system band May be represented.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of arrangement of narrow bands in the system band.
- a predetermined narrow band for example, 1.4 MHz
- the LTE system band for example, 20 MHz
- the narrow band corresponds to a frequency band that can be detected by the MTC terminal.
- the narrow band frequency position which is the use band of the MTC terminal
- the MTC terminal preferably performs communication using different frequency resources for each predetermined period (for example, subframe).
- the MTC terminal preferably has an RF retuning function in consideration of application of frequency hopping and frequency scheduling.
- CE coverage enhancement
- the number of repeated transmissions may increase in order to achieve a desired coverage characteristic (for example, a coverage of a maximum of 15 dB), which may reduce the frequency utilization efficiency.
- the required number of repetitions is affected by the channel state and the MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) level.
- the channel conditions are relatively stable for UEs in coverage extension mode (CE mode).
- the optimum MCS level may vary depending on the required TBS (Transport Block Size). This is because the allocated resource is limited to a predetermined narrow band (for example, 1.4 MHz), so that the MCS level needs to be changed in order to change the TBS according to the packet size.
- TBS Transmission Block Size
- CQI Channel Quality Indicator
- both the TBS and the allocated resource amount are dynamically scheduled for each transmission. Therefore, when the channel state and MCS are taken into consideration when determining the number of repetitions, setting (notifying) an appropriate number of repetitions to the UE at an appropriate timing according to the MCS is an issue.
- a simple method that can be considered as a solution to this problem is to set a fixed number of repetitions in the UE. For example, assuming a maximum TBS (for example, 1000 bits) and a maximum allocated resource (for example, 6 RB), it may be possible to determine a fixed number of repetitions based on the channel state of the UE.
- TBS for example, 1000 bits
- 6 RB maximum allocated resource
- the eNB and / or the UE transmits and / or receives data using a fixed resource amount and a fixed repetition number.
- the data transmitted by the UE or the like does not always require the maximum resource allocation, and the appropriate number of repetitions may vary. Therefore, with the above simple method, the frequency utilization efficiency is poor, and the power consumption may increase.
- DCI Downlink Control Information
- the inventors of the present invention have come up with the idea of determining information on the number of repetitions (repetition level) in association with the MCS based on the above point of focus and notifying by DCI. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a flexible and efficient method for setting the number of repetitions can be supported. As a result, it is possible to appropriately repeat transmission settings for the uplink / downlink signals, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in frequency utilization efficiency and an increase in power consumption.

- the correspondence relationship between the number of repetitions is changed according to the UE coverage mode. Specifically, the correspondence relationship between the MCS and the repetition level is changed when the UE operates in normal coverage (Method 1) and when the UE operates in extended coverage (Method 2).
- FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a correspondence relationship between MCS and TBS used in a conventional LTE system.
- FIG. 2 shows a table associating the MCS index, the modulation order, and the TBS index.

In the case of FIG. 5B, four repetitive transmissions are set corresponding to QPSK. However, since the transmission data is large, it is necessary to perform multiple sets of one set of repeated transmissions. Since notification by EPDCCH occurs at every repeated transmission, the communication overhead increases as the data increases.
- Method 2 even in an environment where a low MCS is selected in the case of a conventional system, a larger MCS is intentionally selected to reduce overhead due to EPDCCH. In this case, in order to suppress a decrease in reception quality due to the use of a large MCS, the number of repetitions is also increased compared to a case where the packet size is relatively small.
- FIG. 5C shows an example of Method 2 when the packet size (TBS) is relatively large.
- TBS packet size
- a larger MCS (16QAM) and a larger number of repetitions (8 times) are adopted compared to FIG. 5B, and the overhead related to EPDCCH is reduced.
