Description

一种物理下行信道的传输方法、装置及系统 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种物理下行信道的传输方法、装置及系统。
背景技术
目前,在LTE(Long Term Evolution,长期演进计划)系统中,每个下行子帧内发送的物理下行信道包括PDCCH(Physical Downlink Control Channel,物理下行控制信道)和PDSCH(Physical Downlink Shared Channel,物理下行共享信道)。PDCCH承载PDSCH的调度分配(Scheduling Assignments)信息和其他控制信息(Control Information)。
LTE系统的标准带宽为1.4MHz,3MHz,5MHz,10MHz,15MHz和20MHz,即兆赫兹。LTE系统中,PDCCH在频率域维度上映射时占用的最小的带宽为最小的系统标准带宽,即1.4MHz。
而随着通信技术的快速发展,出现了一类新的终端,该类终端射频支持的带宽比较小。例如,第一类终端,上行支持正交子载波间隔为3.75kHz(即千赫兹)的单个子载波的SC-FDMA(Single-Carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access,单载波的频分多址)发送或子信道带宽为3.75kHz的单个子信道的FDMA(Frequency-Division Multiple Access,频分多址)发送,和/或上行支持正交子载波间隔为15kHz的单个子载波SC-FDMA发送;第二类终端,上行支持正交子载波间隔为15kHz的多个子载波SC-FDMA的发送。
这两类终端主要应用于物理网通信,通信的特点是上下行通信信道或信号使用的带宽通常比较窄,比LTE系统支持的最小系统标准带宽还要小,因此,也将这两类终端以及支持这两类终端通信的基站统称为NBIOT(Narrowband-Internet of Thing,窄带物联网) 系统。值得注意的是,这两类终端是对NBIOT系统支持的终端的一种划分方法,NBIOT支持的终端也可能体现为一种终端支持一种、两种或三种不同的终端能力,即第一种能力为上行支持正交子载波间隔为3.75kHz SC-FDMA发送或子信道带宽为3.75kHz的单个子信道的FDMA发送;第二种能力为上行支持正交子载波间隔为15kHz的单个子载波SC-FDMA发送;第三种能力为上行支持正交子载波间隔为15kHz的多个子载波SC-FDMA的发送。在NBIOT系统中,系统的带宽为180kHz。
现有技术中,LTE系统中的PDCCH无法支持在这么窄带的带宽内发送,因此,亟需需要一种新的物理下行信道的资源映射方法。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。
本发明的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”和“第四”等是用于区别不同对象,而不是用于限定 特定顺序。此外,术语“包括”和“具有”以及它们任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含。例如包含了一系列步骤或单元的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备没有限定于已列出的步骤或单元,而是可选地还包括没有列出的步骤或单元,或可选地还包括对于这些过程、方法、产品或设备固有的其它步骤或单元。
以下描述中,为了说明而不是为了限定,提出了诸如特定系统结构、接口、技术之类的具体细节,以便透切理解本发明。然而,本领域的技术人员应当清楚,在没有这些具体细节的其它实施例中也可以实现本发明。在其它情况中,省略对众所周知的移动设备、电路以及方法的详细说明,以免不必要的细节妨碍本发明的描述。
另外,本文中术语“和/或”,仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,本文中字符“/”,一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
在LTE系统中,PDCCH传输的物理资源是以CCE(Control Channel Element,控制信道单元)为单位的,一个CCE包含9个REG(Resource Element Groups,资源单元组),每个REG由同一个OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,正交频分复用)符号内连续的4个RE(Resource Element,资源单元)组成。其中,REG在整个LTE系统带宽的频率资源上按照频率增加的方向顺序编号。
如果在一个REG的内部存在小区特定的参考信号CRS(Cell-Specific Reference Signal),那么该REG是表示由同一个OFDM符号内除了CRS之外的连续4个RE。
需要说明的是,如果小区中配置的CRS是单天线端口的CRS,在计算REG中包含的RE的数量时,需排除两个天线端口的CRS,例如小区中配置的是天线端口0和天线端口1的CRS,则在计算REG包含的RE的数量时,将天线端口0和天线端口1的CRS排除。如果小区中配置的CRS是两个天线端口或者四个天线端口的CRS,在计 算REG中包含的RE的数量时,排除CRS时的数量是按照根据实际情况中小区配置天线端口的CRS的数量确定。
系统中可用的CCE的数量NCCE可以理解为:系统中除PCFICH(Physical Control Format Indicator Channel,物理控制格式指示信道)和PHICH(Physical HARQ Indicator Channel,HARQ指示物理信道)占用的REG以外的所有REG的数量除以9,其中,PCFICH占用的REG的数量为4,PHICH不一定占用REG。
具体的,系统中可用的CCE的数量可以用如下公式表示:
Figure PCTCN2016073703-appb-000001
其中,NREG系统中除PCFICH和PHICH占用的REG以外的所有REG的数量,
Figure PCTCN2016073703-appb-000002
为下取整符号。
在LTE系统中,CCE的编号是连续的,编号从0开始到NCCE-1。PDCCH所占用的CCE的数量取决于终端所处的下行信道环境。对于下行信道环境好的终端,基站可能只需分配一个CCE;对于下行信道环境较差的终端,基站可能需要为之分配多达8个CCE。
为了简化终端在解码PDCCH时的复杂度,LTE系统中还规定占用N个CCE的PDCCH,其起始位置的CCE的索引必须是N的整数倍。
在LTE系统中,一个PDCCH可能占用1、2、4或者8个CCE。具体的,PDCCH的格式如表1所示。
表1
PDCCH格式 CCE的数量 REG的数量
0 1 9
1 2 18
2 3 36
3 4 72
从上面描述可以看出,现有技术中,PDCCH传输的物理资源是在LTE系统的整个带宽内发送的。LTE系统的标准带宽为1.4MHz,3MHz,5MHz,10MHz,15MHz和20MHz,因此,PDCCH传输的物理资源占用的最小的带宽为最小的系统标准带宽,即1.4MHz。
而NBIOT系统的带宽为180kHz,因此,现有LTE系统中的PDCCH是无法支持在这么窄带的带宽内发送物理资源的。
针对上述问题,本发明实施例提供了一种物理下行信道的传输方法、装置及系统,基站在第n个下行子帧或第n个子帧内的DwPTS(Downlink Pilot Time Slot,下行链路导频时隙)向用户终端发送NB-PDCCH(Narrowband Physical Downlink Control Channel,窄带物理下行控制信道),其中,NB-PDCCH映射频率资源的带宽小于或等于180kHz的NB-PDCCH映射基本单元上。这样即可实现在NBIOT系统中传输PDCCH。
其中,为了和LTE系统区别,本发明实施例将LTE系统中的PBCH(Physical Broadcast Channel,物理下行广播信道)、PSS(Primary Synchronization Signal,主同步信号)、SSS(Secondary Synchronization Signal,辅同步信号)、PDCCH和PDSCH在NBIOT系统中分别命名为窄带物理广播信道NB-PBCH、窄带主同步信号NB-PSS、窄带辅同步信号NB-SSS、窄带物理下行控制信道NB-PDCCH和窄带物理下行共享信道NB-PDSCH。
需要说明的是,上述信道的名称和信号的名称仅仅是一个示例,其主要用于区分LTE系统和NBIOT系统,本发明对NBIOT系统中的各个信道和各个信号具体采用哪些名称不作具体限定。
为了方便理解本发明实施例,首先在此介绍本发明实施例中会涉及的相关要素。
在LTE系统和NBIOT系统中,帧结构的类型包括适用于FDD(Frequency Division Duplex,频分双工)系统的第一类型帧结构和适用于TDD(Time Division Duplex,时分双工)系统的第二类型帧结构。
具体的,如图1所示,在第一类型帧结构中,一个无线帧的时间长度为10毫秒,一个无线帧由20个时隙组成,每个时隙为0.5毫秒,两个连续的时隙为一个子帧,也就是说,第一类型帧结构包括10个子帧,每个子帧的长度为1毫秒。
如图2所示,在第二类型帧结构中,一个无线帧的时间长度为10毫秒,一个无线帧由两个长度为5毫秒的半帧组成,每个半帧由5个1毫秒的子帧组成。
第二类型帧结构包括下行子帧、特殊子帧和上行子帧。特殊子帧包括DwPTS、UpPTS(Uplink Pilot Time Slot,上行链路导频时隙)和保护间隔GP(Guard period)。
其中,特殊子帧内DwPTS始终用于发送下行,UpPTS始终用于发送上行,GP为下行转上行的保护时间,三者加起来总的长度为1毫秒。
具体的,第二类型帧结构的上下行配置如下表2所示,其中,D表示下行子帧,S表示特殊子帧,U表示上行子帧。
当下行转上行的切换点是以5毫秒为周期时,特殊子帧在两个半帧内都存在,当下行转上行的切换点是以10毫秒为周期时,特殊子帧仅在第一个半帧内存在。
其中,第二类型帧结构的特殊子帧中DwPTS、GP和UpPTS的长度如下表3所示。
其中,在第一类型帧结构和第二类型帧结构中,每个子帧内包含的OFDM符号的数量根据CP(Cyclic Prefix,循环前缀)的长度不同而不同。
当CP为普通CP时,每个时隙包含7个OFDM符号;当CP为扩展CP时,每个时隙包含6个OFDM符号。
每个时隙内发送的信号都可以用一个或者多个RG(Resource Grid,资源格)描述。
如图3所示,每个资源格由
Figure PCTCN2016073703-appb-000003
个子载波和
Figure PCTCN2016073703-appb-000004
个OFDM符号组成,
Figure PCTCN2016073703-appb-000005
的取值取决于下行配置的传输带宽并且满足
Figure PCTCN2016073703-appb-000006
系统中最小的下行带宽
Figure PCTCN2016073703-appb-000007
等于6,最大的下行带宽
Figure PCTCN2016073703-appb-000008
等于110。
其中,每个时隙内包含的OFDM的符号的数量
Figure PCTCN2016073703-appb-000009
取决于循环前缀的长度和子载波的间隔,如表4所示。
表2
Figure PCTCN2016073703-appb-000010
RG中的每个单元称为一个RE(Resource Element,资源单元),每个RE由一个时隙中的索引对(k,l)来标识,其中,
Figure PCTCN2016073703-appb-000011
Figure PCTCN2016073703-appb-000012
k和l分别是在频率域和时间域上的索引。
RB(Resources Block,资源块)用于描述某一个物理信道到资源单元的映射。一个RB在时间上包含
Figure PCTCN2016073703-appb-000013
个连续的OFDM符号,在频率域上包含
Figure PCTCN2016073703-appb-000014
个连续的子载波,其中,
Figure PCTCN2016073703-appb-000015
Figure PCTCN2016073703-appb-000016
的取值如表4所示。因此,一个RB由
Figure PCTCN2016073703-appb-000017
个RE组成。一个RB在时间域上对应一个时隙,在频率域上对应180kHz。
具体的,RB的编号在频率域上从0到
Figure PCTCN2016073703-appb-000018
一个时隙中在频率域上RB的序号nPRB和资源单元(k,l)的关系可以表示为:

其中,TS为LTE系统中时域的基本单位,Ts=1/(15000*2048)秒。

本发明实施例适用的应用场景根据使用的频率资源的不同,大致可以分为以下三种应用场景:
1、独立部署场景,NBIOT系统专用的频率资源组网支持新的两种终端,所用频率资源可以是位于从GSM(Global System for Mobile Communication,全球移动通信系统)系统中回收重新利用的频段,或者是位于3G(3rd-Generation,第三代移动通信技术)系统或是LTE系统所用的频段资源。
2、保护带部署场景,NBIOT系统所使用的频率资源位于LTE系统使用的频段的保护带内。
3、带内部署场景,NBIOT系统所使用的频率资源位于LTE系统的一个标准载波,如10MHz或20MHz的带宽之内,即LTE系统的一个标准载波内同时支持普通LTE终端以及新的两种终端类型中的一种或两种。
在第三种应用场景中,为了不影响普通LTE终端的正常通信,NBIOT系统发送物理下行信道能使用的最大发送功率可能更小。
图4是本发明实施例提供的通信系统的结构示意图。参见图4,该通信系统包括基站101以及一个或多个用户终端102,用户终端102与基站101之间通过通信信道103进行通信。
其中,本发明实施例中的用户终端102是指射频支持的带宽比较小的用户终端。
可选的,本发明实施例中的用户终端102上行支持正交子载波间隔为3.75kHz的单个子载波的SC-FDMA发送或子信道带宽为3.75kHz的单个子信道的FDMA发送,或用户终端102上行支持正交子载波间隔为15kHz的单个子载波SC-FDMA发送,亦或用户终端102上行支持正交子载波间隔为15kHz的多个子载波SC-FDMA的发送。
其中,基站101具有共享信道的调度功能,具有基于发送到用户终端102的分组数据的历史来建立调度,调度就是在多个用户终端102共用传输资源时,需要有一种机制来有效地分配物理层资源,以获得统计复用增益。
用户终端102通过与基站101之间建立的通信信道103发送和接收数据。用户终端102根据通过调度控制信道发送的信息,进行共享信道的发送或接收处理。另外,用户终端102可以是移动台,手机、计算机以及便携终端等等,且该用户终端102的类型可以相同,也可以不同。
基站101与用户终端102之间通过通信信道103进行数据的接收和发送,该通信信道103可以是无线通信信道,且在无线通信信 道中,通信信道103至少存在共享信道和调度控制信道,共享信道是为了发送和接收分组而在多个用户终端102之间公用,调度控制信道用于发送共享信道的分配、以及相应的调度结果等。
实施例一

S102、用户终端接收基站在第n个下行子帧或第n个子帧内的DwPTS内发送的NB-PDCCH。
本发明实施例中的NB-PDCCH承载NB-PDSCH的调度分配信息和其他控制信息。其中,调度分配信息用于调度承载下行数据的NB-PDSCH或承载上行数据的窄带上行共享信道NB-PUSCH。
在步骤S101中,基站向用户终端发送NB-PDCCH。
具体的,基站在向用户终端发送NB-PDCCH时,基站将该NB-PDCCH映射在NB-PDCCH映射基本单元上。
其中,NB-PDCCH映射基本单元在频率域上包括第一频率资源或第二频率资源,在时间域上包括第n个下行子帧或第n个子帧内的下行链路导频时隙DwPTS所包含的至少一个OFDM符号,第一频率资源的带宽小于或等于180kHz,第二频率资源为1个RB包含的频率资源。
具体的,NB-PDCCH映射基本单元由第一NB-CCE和/或第二NB-CCE组成,本发明实施例中的NB-PDCCH在一个或两个NB-CCE上传输。
其中,本发明实施例中NB-PDCCH的格式如表5所示。

1 2
表5中,NB-PDCCH的格式为0时,NB-PDCCH在一个NB-CCE中发送;NB-PDCCH的格式为1时,NB-PDCCH在两个NB-CCE中发送。
为了描述方便,本发明实施例将格式为0的NB-PDCCH称为第一格式的NB-PDCCH,将格式为1的NB-PDCCH称为第二格式的NB-PDCCH。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例所提到的NB-PDCCH在一个NB-CCE上传输是指NB-PDCCH占用的RE的数量与一个NB-CCE所包含的可用RE的数量相同。
同理,本发明实施例所提到的NB-PDCCH在两个NB-CCE上传输是指NB-PDCCH占用的RE的数量与两个NB-CCE所包含的可用RE的数量相同。
其中,可用RE是指NB-CCE所包含的RE中除去参考信号占用的RE外剩余的RE。
参考信号包括CRS和/或CSI-RS(Channel State Information-Reference Signal,信道状态信息参考信号)。
在带内部署场景中,CRS包括LTE系统使用的CRS和NBIOT系统使用的窄带参考信号NB-RS,CSI-RS包括LTE系统使用的CSI-RS,或同时包含NBIOT系统使用的窄带NB-CSI-RS。
在独立部署或保护带部署场景中,CRS可能仅包含NBIOT系统使用的窄带参考信号NB-RS,CSI-RS可能仅包含NBIOT系统使用的窄带NB-CSI-RS。
具体的,LTE系统中的下行参考信号包括CRS和CSI-RS。其中,CRS在小区支持PDSCH的所有下行子帧内传输,且在1个或者多个天线端口上传输。

具体的,若k为一个RB中的子载波的索引,l为一个时隙中OFDM符号的索引,则第一NB-CCE和第二NB-CCE包含的RE均可以表示为(k,l)。
在第一NB-CCE或第二NB-CCE在每个OFDM符号中包含的6个子载波的索引相同的场景中,若系统下行配置为普通CP,则第一NB-CCE包含的RE为(k,l),其中,k=0,1,2,3,4,5且l=0,1,2,3,4,5,6;第二NB-CCE包含的RE为(k,l),其中,k=6,7,8,9,10,11且l=0,1,2,3,4,5,6。

在第一NB-CCE或第二NB-CCE在每个OFDM符号中包含的6个子载波的索引相同的场景中,若系统下行配置为普通CP,图11示出了LTE系统配置四个天线端口的CRS、NBIOT系统配置两个天线端口的NB-RS时的资源映射结构。
同理,在第一NB-CCE或第二NB-CCE在每个OFDM符号中包含的6个子载波的索引相同的场景中,若系统下行配置为扩展CP,则第一NB-CCE包含的资源RE为(k,l),其中,k=0,1,2,3,4,5且l=0,1,2,3,4,5;第二NB-CCE包含的RE为(k,l),其中,k=6,7,8,9,10,11且l=0,1,2,3,4,5。

本发明实施例中的第一预设规则为第一NB-CCE或第二NB-CCE在每个OFDM符号中包含的6个子载波的索引每间隔一个OFDM符号发生变化,或者,第一NB-CCE或第二NB-CCE在每个OFDM符号中包含的6个子载波的索引根据预设公式确定。
具体的,第一预设规则为第一NB-CCE或第二NB-CCE在每个OFDM符号中包含的6个子载波的索引每间隔一个OFDM符号发生变化,则在系统下行配置为普通CP的场景中,第一NB-CCE包含的RE为(k,l),其中,第一NB-CCE在第一个时隙内k=0,1,2,3,4,5且l=0,2,4,6,在第二个时隙内k=0,1,2,3,4,5且l=1,3,5;第二NB-CCE包含的RE为(k,l),第二NB-CCE在第一个时隙内k=6,7,8,9,10,11且l=1,3,5,在第二个时隙内k=6,7,8,9,10,11且l=0,2,4,6。
示例性的,在第一NB-CCE或第二NB-CCE在每个OFDM符号中包 含的6个子载波的索引每间隔一个OFDM符号发生变化的场景中,若系统下行配置为普通CP,图14示出了LTE系统配置单天线端口或者两个天线端口的CRS、NBIOT系统配置两个天线端口的NB-RS时的资源映射结构。
在第一NB-CCE或第二NB-CCE在每个OFDM符号中包含的6个子载波的索引每间隔一个OFDM符号发生变化的场景中,若系统下行配置为普通CP,图15示出了LTE系统配置四个天线端口的CRS、NBIOT系统配置两个天线端口的NB-RS时的资源映射结构。
同理,若第一预设规则为第一NB-CCE或第二NB-CCE在每个OFDM符号中包含的6个子载波的索引每间隔一个OFDM符号发生变化,则在系统下行配置为扩展CP的场景中,第一NB-CCE包含的资源RE为(k,l),其中,第一NB-CCE在第一个时隙内k=0,1,2,3,4,5且l=0,2,4,在第二个时隙内k=0,1,2,3,4,5且l=1,3,5;第二NB-CCE包含的资源集合为(k,l),其中,第二NB-CCE在第一个时隙内k=6,7,8,9,10,11且l=1,3,5,在第二个时隙内k=6,7,8,9,10,11且l=0,2,4。
示例性的,在第一NB-CCE或第二NB-CCE在每个OFDM符号中包含的6个子载波的索引每间隔一个OFDM符号发生变化的场景中,若系统下行配置为扩展CP,图16示出了LTE系统配置单天线端口或者两个天线端口的CRS、NBIOT系统配置两个天线端口的NB-RS时的资源映射结构。

具体的,若第一预设规则为第一NB-CCE或第二NB-CCE在每个OFDM符号中包含的6个子载波的索引根据预设公式确定,则该预设公式可以表示为6×(Ylmod2)+i,其中,i=0,1,…,5,mod为求余运算符,变量Yl被定义为Yl=(A·Yl-1)modD,Y-1=nRNTI,且nRNTI≠0,nRNTI为用户终端的RNTI(Radio Network Temporary Identifier,无线网络 临时标识)的数值,A和D为质数,如A=39827,D=65537,且l为一个时隙内的OFDM符号的编号,用户终端的RNTI为C-RNTI(Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier,小区无线网络临时标识)、SPS(Semi-Persistent Scheduling,半持续调度)C-RNTI或临时的C-RNTI。
对于第一格式的NB-PDCCH,基站将第一格式的NB-PDCCH映射在第一资源单元组的可用RE中或在第二资源单元组中的可用RE中,可用RE为不包含参考信号的RE。
其中,第一资源单元组包含第一NB-CCE的所有RE,第二资源单元组包含第二NB-CCE的所有RE;
或者,
第一资源单元组包含第n个下行子帧中第一个时隙的第一NB-CCE的所有RE和第二NB-CCE的所有RE,第二资源单元组包含第n个下行子帧中第二个时隙的第一NB-CCE的所有RE和第二NB-CCE的所有RE。
容易理解的是,若第n个子帧内包含第一NB-CCE和第二NB-CCE,如果第n个子帧内有一个第一格式的NB-PDCCH需要发送,则基站将第一格式的NB-PDCCH映射在第一NB-CCE的可用RE中或在NB-CCE中的可用RE中。
简单的说,如果第n个子帧内有两个NB-PDCCH需要发送,则基站决定每个需要发送的NB-PDCCH在哪个NB-CCE的可用RE中发送。
特别地,基站可以根据某一规则确定在哪个的NB-CCE的可用RE中向用户终端发送需要传输的NB-PDCCH。
示例性的,基站向用户终端发送的NB-PDCCH映射在第一或第二NB-CCE中的索引由(Yk+m)mod2决定。例如(Yk+m)mod2计算的结果为0时,则基站向用户终端发送的NB-PDCCH映射在第一NB-CCE的可用RE中;如(Yk+m)mod2计算的结果为1时,则基站向用户终端发送的NB-PDCCH映射在第二NB-CCE的可用RE中;其中,变量Yk被定义为Yk=(A·Yk-1)modD,Y-1=nRNTI,且nRNTI≠0,nRNTI为用户终端的RNTI的 数值,A和D为质数,如A=39827,D=65537,且
Figure PCTCN2016073703-appb-000055
ns为一个无线帧内的时隙的编号,用户终端的RNTI为C-RNTI、SPS C-RNTI或临时的C-RNTI。
进一步地,在基站将第一格式的NB-PDCCH映射在第一资源单元组的可用RE中或在第二资源单元组中的可用RE中之前,基站对第一待传输的比特块进行加扰、调制、层映射和预编码处理,以生成第一向量块,并对第一向量块进行序列变化(Permutation),以生成待传输的第一符号序列,其中,第一待传输的比特块为第一格式的NB-PDCCH中待传输的比特块。
这样,基站将待传输的第一符号序列映射在第一资源单元组的可用RE中或第二资源单元组中的可用RE中。
需要说明的是,基站在一个子帧内最多发送两个第一格式的NB-PDCCH,这两个第一格式的NB-PDCCH可以是发送给同一个用户终端的,也可以是发送给不同用户终端的。
当基站在一个子帧内发送两个第一格式的NB-PDCCH时,两个第一个格式的NB-PDCCH分别承载的第一待传输的比特块先复用(Multiplexed)在一起,然后复用的比特块进行加扰、调制、层映射和预编码处理,以生成第一向量块,并对第一向量块进行序列变化(Permutation),以生成待传输的第一符号序列,这样,基站将待传输的第一符号序列映射在第一资源单元组的可用RE中和第二资源单元组中的可用RE中。

经过QPSK(Quadrature Phase Shift Keyin,正交相移键控)调制,层映射和预编码过程,生成一个向量块y(i)=[y(0)(i) ... y(P-1)(i)]T,i=0,...,Msymb-1,这个向量块将映射在天线端口p的资源单元上,其中,y(p)(i)表示天线端口p的信号。
向量块映射到资源单元后,该向量块会进行序列变化(Permutation),生成待传输的符号序列,待传输的符号序列采用符号对或者符号四元组表示。
具体的,当采用符号对映射时,z(p)(i)=〈y(p)(2i),y(p)(2i+1)〉表示天线端口p上的符号对i,符号对块表示为z(p)(0),...,z(p)(Mquad-1),其中,Mquad=Msymb/2经过序列变换形成w(p)(0),...,w(p)(Mquad-1)。序列变换是根据子块交织形成的。
可选的,w(p)(0),...,w(p)(Mquad-1)可以按照先在第一NB-CCE映射后在第二NB-CCE映射的顺序映射。在第一NB-CCE或第二NB-CCE中,按照先频域后时域的顺序映射,且不映射在参考信号上。需要说明的是,参考信号是指NBIOT系统窄带参考信号NB-RS;若是带内部署场景中,参考信号还包含LTE系统的CRS和/或CSI-RS。可选地,若是带内部署场景中,当在NBIOT系统的带宽内存在LTE系统的CSI-RS时,则CSI-RS对应的RE上不发送承载的NB-PDCCH的符号而是发送CSI-RS。
当采用符号四元组映射时,天线端口p上的符号四元组i用z(p)(i)=〈y(p)(4i),y(p)(4i+1),y(p)(4i+2),y(p)(4i+3)〉表示,符号四元组块表示为z(p)(0),...,z(p)(Mquad-1),其中,Mquad=Msymb/4经过序列变换形成w(p)(0),...,w(p)(Mquad-1)。同理,w(p)(0),...,w(p)(Mquad-1)按照先频域后时域 的顺序映射,且不映射在参考信号上。需要说明的是,参考信号是指NBIOT系统窄带参考信号NB-RS;若是带内部署场景中,参考信号还包含LTE系统的CRS和/或CSI-RS。可选地,若是带内部署场景中,当在NBIOT系统的带宽内存在LTE系统的CSI-RS时,则CSI-RS对应的RE上不发送承载的NB-PDCCH的符号而是发送CSI-RS。
对于第二格式的NB-PDCCH,基站将第二格式的NB-PDCCH映射在第一资源单元组的可用RE中和在第二资源单元组中的可用RE中,可用RE为不包含参考信号的RE中。
可选的,基站可以将第二格式的NB-PDCCH依次映射在第一NB-CCE的可用RE中和第二NB-CCE的可用RE中,也可以将第二格式的NB-PDCCH依次在第n个下行子帧或第n个子帧内的DwPTS内的每个符号的可用RE中映射。
进一步地,基站将第二格式的NB-PDCCH映射在第一资源单元组的可用RE中和在第二资源单元组中的可用RE中之前,基站还对第二待传输的比特块进行加扰、调制、层映射和预编码处理,以生成第二向量块,并对第二向量块进行序列变化,以生成待传输的第二符号序列,其中,第二待传输的比特块为第二格式的NB-PDCCH中待传输的比特块。
示例性的,对于第二格式的NB-PDCCH,若第n个子帧内一个第二格式的NB-PDCCH中待传输的比特块为

经过加扰、调制、层映射和预编码过程后生成向量块,该向量块为y(i)=[y(0)(i) ... y(P-1)(i)]T,i=0,...,Msym b-1,基站对向量块y(i)=[y(0)(i) ... y(P-1)(i)]T按照下述几种方法进行映射:
1、基站将向量块y(i)=[y(0)(i) ... y(P-1)(i)]T按照先映射到在第一NB-CCE0上再映射在到NB-CCE1上的顺序映射在第一NB-CCE和第二NB-CCE中的可用RE上。
2、基站将向量块y(i)=[y(0)(i) ... y(P-1)(i)]T按照先频域再时域的顺序映射,即按照从第一个符号上第一个可用RE开始映射,直到第一个符号上所有可用RE都已经映射后,再从第二个OFDM符号开始 映射。
3、基站将向量块y(i)=[y(0)(i) ... y(P-1)(i)]T按照符号对或者符号四元组的形式经过序列变换形成w(p)(0),...,w(p)(Mquad-1)。基站将w(p)(0),...,w(p)(Mquad-1)按照先映射在第一NB-CCE再映射在第二NB-CCE上的顺序或者按照先频域后时域的顺序映射,且不映射在参考信号上。需要说明的是,参考信号是指NBIOT系统窄带参考信号NB-RS;若是带内部署场景中,参考信号还包含LTE系统的CRS和/或CSI-RS。可选地,若是带内部署场景中,当在NBIOT系统的带宽内存在LTE系统的CSI-RS时,则CSI-RS对应的RE上不发送承载的NB-PDCCH的符号而是发送CSI-RS。
具体的,本发明实施例中用户终端执行步骤S102,即用户终端接收基站在第n个下行子帧或第n个子帧内的DwPTS内发送的NB-PDCCH。
本发明实施例中,若NB-PDCCH为第一格式的NB-PDCCH,则通信系统中在第n个下行子帧或第n个子帧内的DwPTS内存在一个或者两个候选NB-PDCCH。若NB-PDCCH为第二格式的NB-PDCCH,则通信系统中在第n个下行子帧或第n个子帧内的DwPTS内存在一个候选NB-PDCCH。
具体的,若NB-PDCCH为第一格式的NB-PDCCH,则用户终端在第n个下行子帧或第n个子帧内的DwPTS内监测第一候选NB-PDCCH和/或第二候选NB-PDCCH。其中,第一候选NB-PDCCH或第二候选NB-PDCCH包含m个RE。
也就是说,第一格式的NB-PDCCH映射在第一候选NB-PDCCH的可用RE或第二候选NB-PDCCH的可用RE上,可用RE为不包含参考信号的RE。
其中,第一候选NB-PDCCH包含第一NB-CCE的所有RE,第二候选NB-PDCCH包含第二NB-CCE的所有RE;
或者,
第一候选NB-PDCCH包含第n个下行子帧中第一个时隙的第一 NB-CCE的所有RE和第二NB-CCE的所有RE,第二候选NB-PDCCH包含第n个下行子帧中第二个时隙的第一NB-CCE的所有RE和第二NB-CCE的所有RE。
具体的,若NB-PDCCH为第二格式的NB-PDCCH,第二格式的NB-PDCCH映射在第一NB-CCE的可用RE和第二NB-CCE的可用RE上,可用RE为不包含参考信号的RE。
进一步地,本发明实施例提供的物理下行信道的传输方法还包括:若基站在第n+a或n-a个下行子帧发送窄带物理广播信道NB-PBCH或窄带同步信号NB-SS,则基站在第n+a个或n-a个下行子帧的空白符号发送NB-PDCCH。
其中,第n+a个下行子帧为第n个下行子帧或第n个包含DwPTS的子帧之后的第一个下行子帧或第一个包含DwPTS的子帧,第n-a个下行子帧为第n个下行子帧或第n个包含DwPTS的子帧之前的第一个下行子帧或第一个包含DwPTS的子帧,空白符号是指发送NB-PBCH或NB-SS的下行子帧内的所有OFDM符号按照时间从小到大的顺序排列后的前b个连续OFDM符号,a>0,b等于3或5,NB-SS包括窄带主同步信号NB-PSS或窄带辅同步信号NB-SSS。
对于空白符号中的第i个OFDM符号,在第i个OFDM符号上重复发送第n个下行子帧或第n个包含DwPTS的子帧内的所有OFDM符号按照时间从小到大的顺序排列后的第i个OFDM符号上映射的NB-PDCCH,i≤5。
可以理解的是,由于第二类型帧结构包括下行子帧、特殊子帧和上行子帧,因此,第二类型帧结构中存在下行子帧和上行子帧相邻的情景,本发明实施例提供的方法是针对下行子帧而言,因此,在第二类型帧结构中,第n+a个下行子帧或第n-a个下行子帧可能为与第n个下行子帧不相邻的子帧。
也就是说,本发明实施例中涉及到的连续子帧为任意两个相邻的下行子帧。
其中,在独立部署场景或保护带部署场景,每个子帧内的参考 信号只有NB-RS,在发送NB-PBCH的子帧内前3个OFDM符号不发送NB-PBCH;在发送NB-PSS的子帧内,当系统配置为普通CP时,NB-PSS发送时使用子帧内的最后11个OFDM符号,即前3个OFDM符号不发送NB-PSS;在发送NB-SSS的子帧内,当系统配置为普通CP时,NB-SSS发送时使用子帧内的最后11个或9个OFDM符号,即前3个或前5个OFDM符号不发送NB-SSS。
示例性的,如图18所示,若下行子帧n是发送NB-PDCCH的子帧且NB-PDCCH在两个或两个以上子帧内发送,如果下一个下行子帧n+a是发送NB-PBCH,NB-PSS或NB-SSS的子帧,那么基站在子帧n+a的空白OFDM符号上发送NB-PDCCH。
当空白符号为3个OFDM符号时,基站在子帧n+a的前3个OFDM符号重复发送子帧n的前3个OFDM符号上发送的NB-PDCCH。当空白符号为5个OFDM符号时,基站在子帧n+a的前5个OFDM符号重复发送子帧n的前5个OFDM符号上发送的NB-PDCCH。
具体的,如果子帧n+a是第一个可以发送NB-PDCCH的子帧,那么在子帧n+a的空白OFDM符号上发送子帧n+a后面的第一个发送NB-PDCCH的子帧的前3个OFDM符号或者前5个OFDM符号上发送的NB-PDCCH。
同理,如图18所示,若子帧n是第一个用于发送NB-PDCCH的子帧,且NB-PDCCH本应该在一个子帧内发送,但如果子帧n后面的第一个下行子帧n+a是发送NB-PBCH,NB-PSS或NB-SSS子帧,那么在子帧n+a的空白OFDM符号上发送NB-PDCCH。
其中,NB-PDCCH映射在子帧n和子帧n+a上的可用RE上,可用RE包括子帧n内不发送参考信号的RE和子帧n+a内空白OFDM符号上不发送参考信号的RE;或者NB-PDCCH映射在子帧n上的可用RE上,映射后在子帧n内的前3个或者前5个OFDM符号上发送的NB-PDCCH重复映射在子帧n+a内3个或者前5个OFDM符号上不发送参考信号的RE上。
示例性的,如图19所示,如果子帧n是发送NB-PBCH,NB-PSS 或NB-SSS子帧,如果子帧n后面的第一个下行子帧n+a是第一个可以发送NB-PDCCH的子帧且NB-PDCCH本应该在一个子帧内发送,那么在发送NB-PBCH,NB-PSS或NB-SSS子帧的空白OFDM符号上发送NB-PDCCH。
其中,NB-PDCCH映射在子帧n和子帧n+a上的可用RE上,可用资源包括子帧n空白OFDM符号上不发送参考信号的RE和子帧n+a内不发送参考信号的RE;或者NB-PDCCH映射在子帧n+a上的可用RE上,映射后在子帧n+a内的前3个或者前5个OFDM符号上发送的NB-PDCCH重复映射在子帧n内3个或者前5个OFDM符号上不发送参考信号的RE上。
进一步地,若第n个下行子帧为用于发送窄带物理广播信道NB-PBCH,窄带主同步信号NB-PSS,或窄带辅同步信号NB-SSS的子帧,则基站在该第n个下行子帧的前3个或者前5个连续OFDM符号发送NB-PDCCH。这里,前3个或者前5个连续OFDM符号发送NB-PDCCH的方法与前面空白符号发送NB-PDCCH的方法相同,此处不再对此进行解释。
需要说明的是,使用前3个或者前5个连续OFDM符号发送的NB-PDCCH可能只适用于小区中心或者在小区中覆盖条件较好的用户终端。因此,基站可以向用户终端发送配置信息,配置信息中包含指示信息用于指示用户终端监测在空白符号上发送的NB-PDCCH。承载配置信息的信道或信令包括NB-PBCH、SI(System Information,系统信息),RRC(Radio Resource Control,无线资源控制)信令或MAC(Media Access Control,媒体接入控制)信令中的至少一种。
相应的,若用户终端接收基站在第n+a或n-a个下行子帧发送的窄带物理广播信道NB-PBCH或窄带同步信号NB-SS,则用户终端接收基站在第n+a个或n-a个下行子帧的空白符号上发送的NB-PDCCH。
第n+a个下行子帧为第n个下行子帧或第n个包含DwPTS的子帧之后的第一个下行子帧或第一个包含DwPTS的子帧,第n-a个下 行子帧为第n个下行子帧或第n个包含DwPTS的子帧之前的第一个下行子帧或第一个包含DwPTS的子帧,空白符号是指发送NB-PBCH或NB-SS的下行子帧内的所有OFDM符号按照时间从小到大的顺序排列后的前b个连续OFDM符号,a>0,b等于3或5,NB-SS包括窄带主同步信号NB-PSS或窄带辅同步信号NB-SSS。
具体的,对于空白符号中的第i个OFDM符号,在第i个OFDM符号上重复发送的是第n个子帧内的所有OFDM符号按照时间从小到大的顺序排列后的第i个OFDM符号上映射的NB-PDCCH,i≤5。
因此,用户终端可以对在第i个OFDM符号上接收到的NB-PDSCH和在第n个子帧内的所有OFDM符号按照时间从小到大的顺序排列后的第i个OFDM符号上接收的NB-PDSCH做联合检测,从而可以提高NB-PDSCH的检测性能,如联合检测可以包括对应符号级合并或比特级合并。
可以看出,本发明实施例提供的物理下行信道的传输方法充分利用了空白符号,能够提高资源利用率。
进一步地,本发明实施例提供的物理下行信道的传输方法还包括:基站在预设的聚合窗口中发送NB-PDCCH。
预设的聚合窗口由c*y个RE组成,且c=b*z,c代表时间域所述预设的聚合窗口包含的连续OFDM符号数量,z为所述预设的聚合窗口包含的公用下行子帧的数量,y代表所述预设的聚合窗口内每个OFDM符号在频率域对应的子载波的数量,b代表时间域中z个公用下行子帧中每个公用下行子帧内的连续OFDM符号的数量,且b个OFDM符号为该公用下行子帧内的所有OFDM符号按照时间从小到大的顺序排列后的前b个连续OFDM符号,所述基站在所述公用下行子帧内发送窄带物理广播信道NB-PBCH或窄带同步信号NB-SS,c≥3,z≥1,12≥y≥1,b等于3或5。
可以理解的是,预设的聚合窗口是由z个公用下行子帧的空白符号聚合而成,对于预设的聚合窗口中归属于同一个子帧的空白符号的映射与前面描述的空白符号的映射相同。

本发明实施例提供一种物理下行信道的传输方法,基站在第n个下行子帧或第n个子帧内的DwPTS向终端发送NB-PDCCH,其中,NB-PDCCH映射频率资源的带宽小于或等于180kHz的NB-PDCCH映射基本单元上,实现了在NBIOT系统中传输PDCCH。
实施例二
图20为本发明实施例提供的一种物理下行信道的传输方法的流程示意图,该传输方法包括发送方法和接收方法,且该传输方法应用于如图4所示的通信系统中。
S201、基站在第n个下行子帧或第n个子帧内的DwPTS向用户终端发送窄带物理下行共享信道NB-PDSCH并在第n+a或n-a个下行子帧发送NB-PBCH或NB-SS,则基站在第n+a个或n-a个下行子帧的空白符号发送NB-PDSCH。
S202、用户终端接收基站在第n个下行子帧或第n个子帧内的DwPTS内发送的NB-PDSCH和基站在第n+a或n-a个下行子帧空白符号上发送的所述NB-PDSCH,且所述第n+a或n-a个下行子帧是发送NB-PBCH或NB-SS的子帧。
其中,本发明实施例中所述第n+a个下行子帧为所述第n个下行子帧或第n个包含DwPTS的子帧之后的第一个下行子帧或第一个包含DwPTS的子帧,所述第n-a个下行子帧为所述第n个下行子帧或所述第n个包含DwPTS的子帧之前的第一个下行子帧或第一个包 含DwPTS的子帧,所述空白符号是指发送所述NB-PBCH或所述NB-SS的下行子帧内的所有OFDM符号按照时间从小到大的顺序排列后的前b个连续OFDM符号,a>0,b等于3或5,所述NB-SS包括窄带主同步信号NB-PSS或窄带辅同步信号NB-SSS。
具体的,对于所述空白符号中的第i个OFDM符号,在所述第i个OFDM符号上重复发送的是所述第n个下行子帧或所述第n个包含DwPTS的子帧内的所有OFDM符号按照时间从小到大的顺序排列后的第i个OFDM符号上映射的NB-PDSCH,i≤5。
因此,用户终端可以对在第i个OFDM符号上接收到的NB-PDSCH和在第n个子帧内的所有OFDM符号按照时间从小到大的顺序排列后的第i个OFDM符号上接收的NB-PDSCH做联合检测,从而可以提高NB-PDSCH的检测性能,如联合检测可以包括对应符号级合并或比特级合并。
可以理解的是,由于第二类型帧结构包括下行子帧、特殊子帧和上行子帧,因此,第二类型帧结构中存在下行子帧和上行子帧相邻的情景,本发明实施例提供的方法是针对下行子帧而言,因此,在第二类型帧结构中,第n+a个下行子帧或第n-a个下行子帧可能为与第n个下行子帧不相邻的子帧。
也就是说,本发明实施例中涉及到的连续子帧为任意两个相邻的下行子帧。
其中,在独立部署场景或保护带部署场景,每个子帧内的参考信号只有NB-RS,在发送NB-PBCH的子帧内前3个OFDM符号不发送NB-PBCH;在发送NB-PSS的子帧内,当系统配置为普通CP时,NB-PSS发送时使用子帧内的最后11个OFDM符号,即前3个OFDM符号不发送NB-PSS;在发送NB-SSS的子帧内,当系统配置为普通CP时,NB-SSS发送时使用子帧内的最后11个或9个OFDM符号,即前3个或前5个OFDM符号不发送NB-SSS。
示例性的,如图18所示,若下行子帧n是发送NB-PDSCH的子帧且NB-PDSCH在两个或两个以上子帧内发送,如果下一个下行子帧 n+a是发送NB-PBCH,NB-PSS或NB-SSS的子帧,那么基站在子帧n+a的空白OFDM符号上发送NB-PDSCH。
当空白符号为3个OFDM符号时,基站在子帧n+a的前3个OFDM符号重复发送子帧n的前3个OFDM符号上发送的NB-PDSCH。当空白符号为5个OFDM符号时,基站在子帧n+a的前5个OFDM符号重复发送子帧n的前5个OFDM符号上发送的NB-PDSCH。
具体的,若子帧n是发送NB-PDSCH的子帧且NB-PDSCH在两个或两个以上子帧内发送,如果下一个下行子帧n+a是发送NB-PBCH,NB-PSS或NB-SSS的子帧,那么基站在子帧n+a的空白OFDM符号上发送NB-PDSCH。
具体的,如果子帧n+a是第一个可以发送NB-PDSCH的子帧,那么在子帧n+a的空白OFDM符号上发送子帧n+a后面的第一个发送NB-PDSCH的子帧的前3个OFDM符号或者前5个OFDM符号上发送的NB-PDSCH。
同理,如图18所示,若子帧n是第一个用于发送NB-PDSCH的子帧,且NB-PDSCH本应该在一个子帧内发送,但如果子帧n后面的第一个下行子帧n+a是发送NB-PBCH,NB-PSS或NB-SSS子帧,那么在子帧n+a的空白OFDM符号上发送NB-PDSCH。
其中,NB-PDSCH映射在子帧n和子帧n+a上的可用RE上,可用RE包括子帧n内不发送参考信号的RE和子帧n+a内空白OFDM符号上不发送参考信号的RE;或者NB-PDSCH映射在子帧n上的可用RE上,映射后在子帧n内的前3个或者前5个OFDM符号上发送的NB-PDSCH重复映射在子帧n+a内3个或者前5个OFDM符号上不发送参考信号的RE上。
示例性的,如图19所示,如果子帧n是发送NB-PBCH,NB-PSS或NB-SSS子帧,如果子帧n后面的第一个下行子帧n+a是第一个可以发送NB-PDSCH的子帧且NB-PDSCH本应该在一个子帧内发送,那么在发送NB-PBCH,NB-PSS或NB-SSS子帧的空白OFDM符号上发送NB-PDSCH。
其中,NB-PDSCH映射在子帧n和子帧n+a上的可用RE上,可用资源包括子帧n空白OFDM符号上不发送参考信号的RE和子帧n+a内不发送参考信号的RE;或者NB-PDSCH映射在子帧n+a上的可用RE上,映射后在子帧n+a内的前3个或者前5个OFDM符号上发送的NB-PDSCH重复映射在子帧n内3个或者前5个OFDM符号上不发送参考信号的RE上。
进一步地,本发明实施例提供的物理下行信道的传输方法还包括:所述基站在预设的聚合窗口中发送所述NB-PDSCH。
其中,所述预设的聚合窗口由c*y个资源单元RE组成,且c=b*z,所述c代表时间域所述预设的聚合窗口包含的连续正交频分复用OFDM符号数量,z为所述预设的聚合窗口包含的公用下行子帧的数量,y代表所述预设的聚合窗口内每个OFDM符号在频率域对应的子载波的数量,b代表时间域中z个公用下行子帧中每个公用下行子帧内的连续OFDM符号的数量,且b个OFDM符号为该公用下行子帧内的所有OFDM符号按照时间从小到大的顺序排列后的前b个连续OFDM符号,所述基站在所述公用下行子帧内发送窄带物理广播信道NB-PBCH或窄带同步信号NB-SS,c≥3,z≥1,12≥y≥1,b等于3或5。
可选的,聚合窗口中不仅包含公用下行子帧,也可以进一步包含第n个下行子帧或第n个包含DwPTS的子帧。
进一步地,在所述基站在预设的聚合窗口中发送所述NB-PDSCH之前,所述基站向所述用户终端发送第一配置信息,所述第一配置信息包括所述聚合窗口的时间位置信息,所述聚合窗口的时间位置信息至少包括所述预设的聚合窗口的时间起点位置和所述预设的聚合窗口的长度,或者,所述预设的聚合窗口的周期和时间偏移量。
其中,承载第一配置信息的信道或信令包括NB-PBCH、SI(System Information,系统信息)、RRC(Radio Resource Control,无线资源控制)信令和MAC(Media Access Control,媒体接入控制)信令中的至少一种。
进一步地,在所述基站在预设的聚合窗口中发送所述NB-PDSCH之前,所述基站向所述用户终端发送第二配置信息,所述第二配置信息指示所述用户终端在所述预设的聚合窗口内接收或监测所述NB-PDSCH。
具体地,承载第二配置信息的信道或信令包括NB-PBCH、SI(System Information,系统信息),RRC(Radio Resource Control,无线资源控制)信令或MAC(Media Access Control,媒体接入控制)信令中的至少一种。
