  • Certain embodiments of the present invention relate to performing packet duplication in a multi-connectivity scenario during retransmissions. Certain embodiments of the present invention address reliability in a mobile communication system such as an LTE or 5G system, where multiple links are available for transmitting information between a network and a terminal (i.e., a ' 'multi-connectivity' ' scenario) .
  • certain embodiments of the present invention are directed to using data duplication.
  • data duplication certain embodiments may achieve ultra-reliability by transmitting identical data across multiple links, where the links may have different properties from each other, in order to provide improved robustness against packet losses.
  • Certain embodiments of the present invention can also reduce a backhaul overhead and air interface overhead that is generally associated with performing data duplication. Although certain embodiments of the invention can be applicable to 5G technologies, other embodiments can also be applied to LTE technologies.
  • One example use case is communication that is necessary for ensuring vehicular safety, with a particular emphasis on communication that is necessary for implementing autonomous-driving technologies, and on communication that is necessary for implementing certain industrial technologies (i.e., "Industry 4.0" communication).
  • a terminal is not merely 5 connected to only a single cell on a single frequency layer. Rather, with multi-connectivity, the terminal is simultaneously connected to multiple cells via different frequency layers or even via different, not necessarily co-sited, radio interfaces.
  • LTE already supports dual connectivity (as well as carrier aggregation), where a terminal can be o connected to multiple cells of 2 different base stations.
  • 5G is anticipated to provide even more options for performing multi-connectivity.
  • the terminals may also be able to connect to BSs on different radio interfaces (e.g., LTE+cmW, cmW+mmW, etc.).
  • BSs base stations
  • the availability of multiple (independent) carrier frequency layers, for facilitating communication between terminals and base stations, offers potential benefits in improving reliability for the communication.
  • the conventional use cases for using multiple frequency layers are typically based on splitting (i.e., de-multiplexing) data flows to different links.
  • Dual connectivity - where a data flow is split to different links - is one solution for improving robustness, because a connection with dual connectivity can survive a problem that occurs on one of the links.
  • the connection can survive a problem on one of the links by using end-to-end reliability schemes implemented by Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
  • TCP Transmission Control Protocol
  • 5 dual-connectivity is generally not adequate for implementing the aforementioned use cases for performing ultra-reliable communication with low-latency.
  • packet losses will involve retransmissions (e.g., packet forwarding), which will likely exceed the tight delay budget allowed by the aforementioned use cases.
  • An improvement in the reliability of communication can be achieved by duplicating packets on available links.
  • an improvement in reliability can be achieved by transmitting multiple copies of the packets via each of the available links. Although transmitting these multiple copies will generally reduce spectral efficiency (because many of the packets will be transmitted twice), transmitting multiple copies may be preferred over other options for improving reliability because5 other options would likely introduce unacceptable delay as a result of retransmissions or link-switching.
  • Performing duplication generally increases the load on the backhaul as well as the load on the air interface, because the packets are transmitted multiple times.
  • One problem with performing o duplication is that efficient duplication generally has to be pro-actively initiated. For example, the performing of the duplication may need to be initiated sufficiently early, before any duplication is necessary. Performing duplication in a pro-active manner may be necessary because performing reactive duplication may not be reliable enough. Specifically, when performing reactive duplication, it may be impossible to define reliable triggers to start duplication. Therefore, when performing reactive duplication, there is always a high risk that duplication is started too late.
  • certain embodiments of the present invention are directed at reducing an overhead (that is caused by performing duplication) on the backhaul and on the air interface, without sacrificing the benefits that are gained when performing data duplication.
  • 0 data duplication may be used when performing retransmissions, while not using data duplication when performing a first, initial, transmission.
  • Certain embodiments of the present invention may adapt pro-active duplication methods.
  • the overhead is generated only if there are retransmissions to be 5 performed.
  • the price for this overhead reduction may be one retransmission delay, which is incurred because the first transmission is retransmitted.
  • the method of certain embodiments may perform data duplication when performing retransmissions, while not performing data duplication with the first, initial, transmission. o
  • This method may be applicable when performing uplink communication, downlink communication, intra-frequency communication, inter-frequency communication, Hybrid A Q communication, and/or outer ARQ communication, for example.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates the use of a helper cell, in accordance with certain embodiments of the present 5 invention.
  • the example of Fig. 1 illustrates performing packet duplication when performing HARQ communication in the downlink.
  • the example system of Fig. 1 may perform intra-frequency communication.
  • the user equipment (UE) is ready to receive data from multiple cells, from a master cell (as shown on the left) and at least from a helper cell (as shown on the right).
  • a first transmission is transmitted via the master cell (1).
  • the first transmission may be a 0 transmission of a Media Access Control Protocol Data Unit (MAC PDU), for example.
  • MAC PDU Media Access Control Protocol Data Unit
  • the master cell can forward the MAC PDU to the helper cells via, for 5 example, an X2 interface (3). While the master cell performs retransmission (4), the helper cells can perform retransmissions to the UE as well (5).
  • the retransmissions from the helper cells (5) will, most likely, not be received by the UE at the same time as the retransmissions from the master cell (4).
  • the retransmissions generally will not be o received at the same time because the X2 interface will generally have some latency, and because the helper cells will generally have an independent scheduler that schedules the retransmissions from the helper cells to occur at different times compared to the master cell.
  • the UE can store all versions of the MAC PDU for decoding.
  • the simplest option corresponds to the option where the UE attempts to decode each version of the MAC/PDU separately/independently.
  • the UE does not store previously received versions of the MAC/PDU.
  • the UE attempts to decode a version of the MAC/PDU and discards the version if the UE is unsuccessful in its attempt to decode.
  • new versions of the MAC/PDU can be combined with previously received versions, and performing a joint decoding of the combined versions may havce a greater chance of successful decoding (but this combining requires storing of the previous approaches.
  • storing all versions of the MAC PDU would lead0 to problems.
  • storing all versions of the MAC PDU is not a major issue.
  • the UE can attempt to decode the different versions of the MAC PDU, received from multiple cells, independently.
  • the UE can use chase combining (i.e. soft combining) of the different versions of the same MAC PDU. Afterwards, the UE may use either chase combining or incremental redundancy to combine a version of the MAC PDU with previously received transmissions.
  • chase combining can be similar to soft combining or maximum ratio combining. With chase o combining, soft values can be added. With incremental redundancy, the received MAC PDU versions are not identical to each other. Rather, the different versions may be different redundancy versions.
  • the master cell could also create different redundancy versions (RV) of the MAC PDU for the helper cells, and the helper cells may then send these different RV to the UE. Therefore, 5 the helper cells would send a different redundancy version of the MAC PDU to the UE, as compared to the redundancy version that is used by the master cell. In this case, the UE would then use all versions of MAC PDU which have been received already, and then code-combine them.
  • RV redundancy versions
  • Certain embodiments of the present invention may encode transmitted information with a mother 0 code and puncture the result into a different redundancy version (RV), where each RV may or may not be self-decodable.
  • RV redundancy version
  • Fig. 2 illustrates using incremental redundancy for performing HARQ, in accordance with certain embodiments of the present invention, for the case of two helper cells.
  • the helper cells can send the same redundancy versions as the versions sent by the master cell, RV2 and RV3.
