Description

Method and device for transmitting and receiving configuration information of low latency service

Technical field

This document relates to, but is not limited to, the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving configuration information of a low latency service.

Background technique

The Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Network (MBSFN) subframe is a type of subframe supported by the Long Term Evolution (LTE) related standard. The subframe is used as the MBMS service. Alternatively, the user equipment (User Equipment, UE) configured with the specific transmission mode may use the MBSFN subframe to perform the transmission of the unicast Unicast service. The base station does not send the cell-specific reference signals (CRS) in the non-physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) field of the MBSFN subframe, and the UE of the Unicast service is not in the non-PDCCH region of the MBSFN subframe. The receiving CRS is used for measurement. The UE of the Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) receives the MBMS service according to the control information of the MBMS.

In the evolution of the LTE standard, it is currently proposed to further reduce the delay time of user plane data arrival to support the more demanding business requirements for delay requirements. Here, such a service that is more demanding for delay is called a low-latency service.

Embodiments of the invention

The invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the features in the embodiments and the embodiments in the present application may be arbitrarily combined with each other.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for transmitting configuration information of a low latency service according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method shown in Figure 1 includes:

Step 101: The station configures a low-latency service subframe.

Step 102: The station sends configuration information of the low latency service subframe.

The embodiment of the present invention provides that the low-latency service and the legacy service coexist in the same carrier by configuring the low-latency service sub-frame, and the low-latency service does not affect the transmission of the legacy service. And receiving, with good backward compatibility.

The site configures a low-latency service sub-frame and sends the configured low-latency service sub-frame configuration information to be sent. The station (for example, a macro base station, a small base station, etc.) configures an MBSFN subframe for low-latency service transmission. The MBSFN subframe for transmitting the low-latency service uses a short Transmission Time Interval (TTI) for data transmission. And/or configuring non-MBSFN subframes for low latency traffic transmission.

After the site configures the low-latency service subframe, the site configures the physical resource block PRB resource used by the low-latency service in the MBSFN subframe and/or the non-MBSFN subframe.

The unused field of the existing message is used to transmit the PRB resource used by the low-latency service, and the related communication mechanism is not required to be changed, and the implementation is simple.

When the site configures MBSFN subframes for low-latency service transmission, the site can use all the resources. The source is transmitted for low latency traffic. When a site configures a non-MBSFN sub-frame for low-latency service transmission, the station needs to further configure the intra-subframe resources occupied by the low-latency service.

In this way, the impact on the legacy UE can be minimized. For example, if the legacy UE does not support the MBMS service or does not support the MBMS function, the PMCH field in the MBSFN subframe is not received and is not used for measurement. This is because the standard specifies that the CRS signal is not transmitted in the PMCH field of the MBSFN subframe. If the Legacy UE has an MBMS service, the UE determines to receive the PMCH domain in those MBSFN subframes by receiving the multicast control channel MCCH signaling. Obviously, these subframes are not used for low-latency services, so there is no for legacy UEs. Affected.

Since the station can configure the MBSFN subframe and/or the non-MBSFN subframe for the low-latency service transmission, the resources of the two types of subframes of the MBSFN subframe and the non-MBSFN subframe are as follows:

When a site configures an MBSFN subframe for low-latency traffic transmission, the site uses all resources as resources for low-latency services;

When a site configures a non-MBSFN subframe for low-latency traffic transmission, the site configures the intra-subframe resources occupied by the low-latency service and broadcasts the information of the subframe configured with the low-latency service.

After the site configures the subframe of the low-latency service, the configuration information includes at least one parameter: a periodic parameter, a starting location parameter, and a bitmap parameter; wherein:

When an MBSFN subframe is configured for low-latency service, the structure in the MBSFN subframe includes:

When the MBSFN subframe is configured as a low-latency service, the structure in the MBSFN subframe includes: the physical downlink control channel SPDCCH information of the low-latency service is located in the OFDM symbol in which the CRS is located.

The OFDM symbol corresponding to the SPDCCH information is one or two.

2 is a flowchart of a method for receiving configuration information of a low latency service according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method shown in Figure 2 includes:

Step 201: The user equipment receives configuration information of a low-latency service subframe.

Step 202: The user equipment receives data of the low latency service according to the configuration information of the low latency service subframe.

When the received subframe is an MBSFN subframe, if the PDCCH information of the MBSFN subframe includes the DCI of the user equipment, and the unicast service mode legacy of the MBSFN subframe transmission is not configured, the user equipment determines The MBSFN subframe is a low-latency service subframe, and receives control information of data and/or low-latency service from the MBSFN subframe; wherein, when the user equipment is not configured to receive a legacy list in the MBSFN subframe When the service mode is broadcast, the user equipment determines the The MBSFN subframe is a low latency service subframe;

The embodiment provided by the present invention receives the configuration information of the low-latency service subframe, and performs receiving processing on the data in the subframe by using the configuration information, so that the low-latency service and the legacy service coexist in the same carrier, and the low carrier is low. The delay service hardly affects the sending and receiving of the legacy service, and has good backward compatibility.

Embodiment 1

In order to schedule low-latency services, the station uses MBSFN subframe configuration signaling, configures MBSFN subframes, and uses some or all of the configured MBSFN subframes to schedule transmission of low-latency services.

For the legacy UE, after receiving the MBSFN subframe configuration signaling sent by the station, the legacy UE detects the first one or two OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) of the MBSFN subframe. The symbol determines whether there is authorization information related to itself. If there is no authorization information or only uplink grant information, the legacy UE does not receive or parse the remaining OFDM symbols of the MBSFN subframe. For a legacy UE that has an MBMS service requirement, the OFDM symbol corresponding to the PMCH (Physical Multicast Channel) in the MBSFN subframe is received according to the control signaling corresponding to the MBMS service. For legacy UEs, if there is a measurement requirement, continue to use the reference in the first 1 or 2 OFDM symbols of the MBSFN subframe. Signals (such as CRS) are measured. The PHICH (Physical Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel) and the PCFICH (Physical Control Format Indicator Channel) are also transmitted in the first or second OFDM symbols in the MBSFN subframe.

The behavior of the legacy UE described above can be supported by the related protocol. Obviously, the legacy UE has corresponding UE behavior for data reception of the MBSFN subframe. Then, the site configures and uses the MBSFN subframe to transmit the low-latency service, does not affect the reception behavior of the legacy UE, and does not affect the measurement of the legacy UE, and can ensure that the service of the low-latency service and the legacy UE coexist in the same carrier. . Further, the PMCH domain inside the MBSFN subframe used for the low-latency service can design a new transmission mode, and does not affect the related legacy UE.

The MBSFN subframe structure used for transmitting low-latency services includes:

The first one or two OFDM symbols in the subframe are used for normal unicast traffic (non-low latency service). For the remaining 13 or 12 OFDM symbols (ie, PMCH domain), the specific subframe is structured as follows:

FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of an MBSFN subframe according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the TTI of the low-latency service is 0.5 ms (the TTI of the legacy service is 1 ms). For example, in an MBSFN subframe, the first or the first two OFDM symbols are defined by the relevant protocol. The PDCCH field, which is used to schedule the UE with the low-latency service; in addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the symbol 7 and the symbol 8 of the MBSFN subframe of the low-latency service are also configured (the symbol number in the subframe in the embodiment of the present invention is The start of the symbol 0, for example, the symbol 7, which is the 8th symbol, the same as the new control field of the low-latency service, is denoted as SPDCCH (low-latency service PDCCH), which may occupy the symbol 7 or occupy simultaneously. Symbol 7 and symbol 8; simultaneously corresponding to symbol 7, or simultaneous occupation of symbol 7 and symbol 8, further include SPCFICH (low latency service PCFICH), SPHICH (low latency service PHICH) channel. The number of symbols occupied by the SPDCCH is configurable, and one or two OFDM symbols are optimal. The station can adjust the number of SPDCCH occupation symbols per time according to the number of UEs to be scheduled. For the TTI, in addition to the OFDM symbols occupied by the control domain, the remaining OFDM symbols are used to transmit low latency data. In the remaining OFDM symbols, the scheduling unit of low-latency service data is formed according to 5 or 6 OFDM symbols in the time domain, and the frequency domain is still in the scheduling unit according to 12 subcarriers.

The CRS is not transmitted in the last 13 or 12 OFDM symbols in the associated MBSFN subframe. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, in order to support the measurement and/or demodulation purposes of the low-latency UE, When the MBSFN subframe is used for low-latency traffic, the CRS is allowed to be transmitted in the following 13 or 12 OFDM symbols in the MBSFN subframe. When a low-latency UE finds an MBSFN subframe for low-latency traffic, there is a CRS transmission in the subframe, and the CRS can be used for measurement and/or demodulation.

Of course, with CRS measurement and demodulation, if low-latency service-specific reference signal measurement and demodulation is employed, the MBSFN subframe does not transmit CRS.

The MBSFN subframe is used for low time delay, and the following subframe structure can also be used:

FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are respectively two and three diagrams of an MBSFN subframe structure according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in the figure, when the MBSFN subframe is configured as a low-latency service, the SPDCCH is always located in the OFDM symbol where the CRS is located, or the SPDCCH always takes the symbol of the CRS as a starting symbol, which can significantly improve the control signaling. Decoding success rate. The SPDCCH symbols may be one or two. The MBSFN subframe structure of the optional low-latency service is as shown in FIG. 5. The PDCCH is configured as two OFDM symbols, and the PDCCH needs to transmit related information of the legacy UE, and also sends relevant control signaling of the low-latency UE. The second SPDCCH in the subframe is also configured as 2 OFDM symbols, so that the OFDM symbols of the data scheduling the low-latency UE in the subframe are always two, thereby simplifying the reception and parsing complexity of the low-latency UE.

Embodiment 2

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram 1 of an MBSFN subframe supported by a second embodiment of the present invention for supporting multiple short TTI low-latency service time-frequency division multiplexing. If the MBSFN subframe can support multiple different short TTIs, a possible subframe structure is shown in FIG. 6. The TTI of the low-latency service is 7 OFDM symbol duration (0.5 ms) and 2 OFDM symbol durations, respectively. The TTI of the low latency service described above is multiplexed in MBSFN subframes for low latency services.

In the MBSFN subframe, TTIs of different durations are multiplexed in a frequency division manner, and corresponding frequency domain resources are configured for different TTIs, and each TTI is mapped in the corresponding frequency domain resource. The related PDCCH domain can schedule resources in any frequency domain, that is, the duration of 7 OFDM symbols can be scheduled, and the duration of 2 OFDM symbols can be scheduled. The remaining SPDCCHs in the different frequency domains have corresponding SPDCCHs, and the SPDCCH is not allowed to be scheduled across frequency domains.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram 2 of an MBSFN subframe supported by the second embodiment of the present invention supporting multiple different short TTI frequency division multiplexing. If the MBSFN subframe can support multiple different short TTIs, where The short TTIs are 7 OFDM symbol durations (0.5 ms), 3 OFDM symbol durations, and 4 TTIs. The short TTIs are multiplexed in MBSFN subframes for low latency services, see FIG. 5. In the MBSFN subframe, TTIs of different durations may also be multiplexed in the same frequency band. The related processing not mentioned is similar to FIG. 4.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram 3 of an MBSFN subframe supported by a second embodiment of the present invention for supporting low latency TTI multiplexing of different durations. The MBSFN subframe for low delay internally includes a TTI of 7 OFDM symbol durations, a TTI of 4 OFDM symbol durations, and a TTI of 3 OFDM symbol durations. The first 7 OFDM symbols of the MBSFN subframe are used for TTIs that are all used for 7 OFDM symbol durations, and the latter 7 OFDM symbols are further frequency-divided into TTIs of 7 OFDM symbols, TTIs of 4 OFDM symbols, and 3 OFDM symbols. TTI. The associated PDCCH schedules the TTI of the first 7 OFDM symbols.

Embodiment 3

When the site configures the MBSFN subframe for the low-latency service, the site is configured in the FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) mode. One or more of the subframes 0, 4, 5, and 9 are low-frequency transmission. The delay service and the legacy service, or one or more of the subframes 0, 1, 5, and 6 in the TDDD (Time Division Duplexing) mode, transmit the low-latency service and the legacy service in a frequency division manner.

If the station uses one or more of the subframes as the low-latency service, the station needs to form corresponding configuration signaling to configure the corresponding subframe for the low-latency service, and the signaling is broadcasted in the system. Sent in a broadcast message.

If the station configures one or more of the subframes 0, 1, 5, 9 or TDD mode in the FDD mode as one of the low-latency service subframes, the station is in such a low-latency service sub-frame. A full bandwidth CRS is sent in the frame. The low-latency service is not transmitted in a PRB (Physical Resource Block) that transmits a PSS/SSS (Primary Synchronization Signal)/Secondary Synchronization Signal (Subsynchronization Signal) in the subframes 0 and 5. The low-latency service is not transmitted in the PRBs in which the PSS or SSS is transmitted in the subframes 0, 1, 5, and 6 in the TDD. In such low-latency subframes, the legacy service has a higher priority scheduling, for example, the station can schedule the legacy service in a frequency band pre-allocated to the low-latency service.

When the site configuration sub-frame is used for the low-latency service, the site configures the low-latency service sub-frame signaling, and further configures the PRB resource used by the low-latency service in the corresponding sub-frame. Optional, site can To use the following:

When a low-latency sub-frame is configured on a site, a periodic parameter, a start position parameter, and a bitmap bitmap are used in the period to indicate a subframe for low delay. among them:

The period parameter describes the duration of the low-latency service subframe, in units of subframes;

The starting position parameter describes the starting position of the period relative to the first subframe of the frame with frame number 0;

Bitmap parameter, which describes the sub-frame for low latency within the period.

For example, the period parameter is 10, the starting position parameter is 3, and the bit of the bitmap is 10 bits (same as the period parameter). The subframe determined under the above parameters is specifically as follows: the third subframe in the frame with frame number 0 starts, and every 10 subframes is one cycle, and the subframe used for low delay in the period is described by the bitmap parameter.

After the low-latency subframe configuration is successful, the low-latency resource in the sub-frame can be notified by DCI (Downlink Control Information).

Among them, there are two ways to send DCI:

The first type, in the first low-latency subframe in each period, uses DCI to notify all low-latency sub-frames in the period for low-latency services, and all low-latency sub-frames in the period are low. The delay resources are the same;

Second, the DCI of the common search space is used for notification; for example, DCI is used to notify low-latency service resources in the subframe in each low-latency subframe.

Embodiment 4

After the foregoing method is adopted, a new UE behavior needs to be introduced, so that the UE can correctly receive the low-latency service in the MBSFN subframe.

For the low-latency service UE, the MBSFN subframe configuration signaling sent by the station is received, and the MBSFN subframe position is determined.

The low-latency service UE detects the PDCCH of the MBSFN subframe, and after detecting the downlink DCI signaling, and does not configure the mode of the legacy service of the MBSFN subframe transmission (by detecting whether it is configured to receive the unicast service in the MBSFN subframe) Data), low latency UE determines the MBSFN sub A frame is a low-latency service subframe in which its own data exists; or,

The low-latency service UE detects the PDCCH of the MBSFN subframe, and after discovering its own downlink DCI signaling, and the low-latency UE is not configured to receive data in the MBSFN subframe, the UE determines that the MBSFN subframe is low. Delay the business sub-frame, which has its own data; or,

The low-latency service UE detects the PDCCH of the MBSFN subframe, and after discovering its own downlink-specific DCI signaling (the specific DCI signaling is used to schedule the low-latency service), the UE determines that the MBSFN subframe is a low-latency service subframe. , which has its own data.

When the low latency UE determines that the subframe is a low latency service subframe, the UE needs to perform corresponding control signaling reception and data reception according to the agreed or notified low latency subframe structure.

In the related art, the DCI has multiple formats, and the format used in the downlink scheduling is identifiable. Therefore, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention has good compatibility.

In the present application, multiple embodiments may be used in combination without conflict. The low latency subframe design described above is based on MBSFN subframes, but can also be used in non-MBSFN subframes.
