Description

一种数据传输方法、设备及系统 技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种数据传输方法、设备及系统。
背景技术
长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)网络支持混合自动重传请求(Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request,HARQ)功能,在LTE TDD(Time Division Duplex,TDD)系统中通常采用N道并行HARQ进程在物理层或媒体访问控制(Media Access Control,MAC)层对等实体间对传输块进行发送和重传,用于在保证传输块成功发送的可靠性的同时提高吞吐量。
在LTE TDD系统中,不同的上下行配比支持的下行HARQ进程数是不同的,如:上下行配比模式0支持的下行HARQ进程数(即可使用的HARQ进程个数)为4,上下行配比模式2支持的下行HARQ进程数为10。对于每个HARQ进程而言,基站通过下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)将与该HARQ进程相关的调度信息通知给用户设备(User Uniqupment,UE),并通过与该HARQ进程对应的调度方式(如:双码字调度或单码字调度)向UE发送数据包,UE根据DCI中与该HARQ进程相关的调度信息对接收到的基站发送的数据包进行相应处理,并根据处理结果向基站发送HARQ反馈消息,HARQ反馈消息包含:否定应答(Negative Acknowledgement,NACK)消息或肯定应答(Acknowledgment,ACK)消息,以便基站在接收到HARQ反馈消息后,通过可用的(即:当前时刻未被使用的)HARQ进程进行数据包新传,或者采用与之前相同的HARQ进程进行重传处理。
但是,在实际应用中,由于HARQ反馈时序的限制,很容易存在当基站接收到UE发送的HARQ反馈消息时,HARQ进程已经全 部用完,无法及时地调度HARQ进程来传送数据包,必须等待下一时刻有HARQ进程释放时,才能调度该被释放HARQ进程新传数据包,严重影响了网络系统性能和用户体验速率。
例如:图1为上下行配比模式2下的HARQ调度时序图,其中,上下行配比模式2下可用的HARQ进程个数为10个,此时,如图1所示,无线帧#0子帧#9、无线帧#1子帧#0、无线帧#1子帧#1、无线帧#1子帧#3使用4个HARQ进程,用户设备在无线帧#1子帧#7上报这4个帧的HARQ反馈结果。但是由于空口时延、L1处理时延、板间传输时延等,基站侧可能要到无线帧#2子帧#1才能收到该HARQ反馈结果(图中用NACK1表示该4个帧的HARQ反馈结果)。无线帧#1子帧#4、无线帧#1子帧#5、无线帧#1子帧#6、无线帧#1子帧#8又使用另外4个HARQ进程,用户设备在无线帧#2子帧#2上报这4个帧的HARQ反馈结果。但是同样地基站侧L2可能要到无线帧#2子帧#6才能收到该HARQ反馈结果(图中用NACK2表示该4个帧的HARQ反馈结果)。到无线帧#1子帧#9为止,已经用了8个HARQ进程,无线帧#1子帧#9用第九个HARQ进程,无线帧#2子帧#0用第十个HARQ进程,自此,全部10个可用的HARQ进程全部用完,并且前面调度子帧的HARQ进程的HARQ反馈结果还没有回来,会导致无线帧#2子帧#1由于10个HARQ进程均被使用而不能调度,造成资源浪费和系统性能损失。
发明内容
本发明实施例提供一种数据传输方法、设备及系统,以解决在基站接收到HARQ反馈消息时,HARQ进程被用完而不能及时调度,造成资源浪费和系统性能损失的问题。
为达到上述目的,本发明的实施例采用如下技术方案:
第一方面,本发明实施例提供一种数据传输方法,该方法由基站执行,该方法可以包括:
通过第一HARQ进程的第一传输块向用户设备UE发送数据包;
当基站接收到UE返回的HARQ反馈消息时,若基站支持的 HARQ进程已全部被使用,则基站根据HARQ反馈消息,通过第一HARQ进程的第二传输块向所述UE发送数据包。
例如,若基站最多可支持的HARQ进程数为M个,该M个HARQ进程一一对应的用M个不同HARQ进程号,当基站接收到HARQ反馈消息时,这M个用HARQ进程号标识的HARQ进程若全部被使用,则基站通过第一HARQ中的第二传输块向UE发送数据包。
即本申请中通过HARQ进程中的不同传输块来发送数据包,相当于用HARQ进程号及HARQ进程中不同的传输块的方式来标识一个HARQ进程,将原本仅用HARQ进程号标识的一HARQ进程区分为多个HARQ进程,以此扩充使用的HARQ进程,如此,可以在基站接收到HARQ反馈消息时,全部HARQ进程被使用的情况下,通过HARQ进程中的未被使用的另一传输块来及时发送数据包,使数据包得到及时调度,避免了资源浪费和整体性能损失的问题。
可选的,在第一方面的一种可实现方式中,基站可以通过下行控制消息DCI来指示与HARQ进程相关的调度信息,以使得UE根据调度信息确定本次发送数据包的是HARQ进程中的哪一个传输块,且该传输块采用的调制编码方案、冗余版本信息以及新数据指示是什么,具体实现如下:

可选的,在第一方面的又一种可实现方式中,在所述基站通过第一HARQ进程的第一传输块向UE发送数据包时,所述第一HARQ进程的第二传输块不被使用,具体体现为:第一调度信息中未包含所述第二传输块的控制信息,或者,第一调度信息中包含所述第二传输块的控制信息,所述第二传输块的控制信息用于指示:所述第二传输块未被用于传输数据包。
同理,在所述基站通过下行控制信息DCI向UE发送第二调度信息时,第二调度信息中未包含所述第一传输块的控制信息,或者,第二调度信息中包含所述第一传输块的控制信息,但所述第一传输块的控制信息用于指示:第一传输块未被用于传输数据包。

若基站接收到HARQ反馈消息时,基站支持的HARQ进程已全部被使用,则UE接收基站根据HARQ反馈消息,通过第一HARQ进程的第二传输块向UE发送数据包。
如此,可以在基站接收到HARQ反馈消息,全部HARQ进程被 使用的情况下,通过HARQ进程中的另一传输块来及时发送数据包,使数据包得到及时调度,避免了资源浪费和整体性能损失的问题。
在第二方面的一种可实现方式中,在UE接收基站发送的通过第一HARQ进程的第一传输块的数据包之前,接收基站通过下行控制信息DCI向UE发送的包含:所述第一HARQ进程的进程号、第一HARQ进程的第一传输块的标识信息、以及第一HARQ进程的第一传输块的控制信息的第一HARQ进程的第一调度信息;所述第一HARQ进程的第一传输块的控制信息包含:调度编码方案、冗余版本号以及新数据包指示信息。
相应的,UE可以根据所述第一调度信息从所述第一HARQ进程的第一传输块接收数据包,并确定接收到的数据包的情况。
同样,在第二方面的又一种可实现方式中,在UE接收基站发送的通过第一HARQ进程的第二传输块的数据包之前,接收基站通过下行控制信息DCI向UE发送的包含:所述第一HARQ进程的进程号、第一HARQ进程的第二传输块的标识信息、以及第一HARQ进程的第二传输块的控制信息的第一HARQ进程的第二调度信息;所述第一HARQ进程的第二传输块的控制信息包含:调度编码方案、冗余版本号以及新数据包指示信息。
相应的,UE可以根据所述第二调度信息从所述第一HARQ进程的第二传输块接收数据包,并确定接收到的数据包的情况。
如此,UE可以根据DCI中指示的与HARQ进程相关的调度信息,从相应的传输块上接收数据包,并进行解调。

附图说明
为了更清楚地说明本发明实施例或现有技术中的技术方案,下面将对实施例或现有技术描述中所需要使用的附图作简单地介绍,显而易见地,下面描述中的附图仅仅是本发明的一些实施例,对于本领域普通技术人员来讲,在不付出创造性劳动的前提下,还可以根据这些附图获得其他的附图。

具体实施方式
本发明的基本原理是:针对在基站接收到HARQ反馈消息时,基站支持的HARQ进程全部被使用,导致HARQ进程不足,基站不能及时进行HARQ调度的问题,不再单单的用HARQ进程号来唯一的标识一个HARQ进程,而是用HARQ进程号及额外信息(如:传输块信息)来标识HARQ进程,即对于HARQ进程而言,可以采用HARQ进程号及不同传输块信息的方式来标识不同的HARQ进程,用该HARQ进程中的不同传输块来发送数据包,将用用HARQ进程号标识的一HARQ通过传输块的不同区分为多个HARQ进程,以此扩充使用的HARQ进程。
例如,对于HARQ进程1而言,可以用HARQ进程1及传输块1、HARQ进程1及传输块2来标识两个不同的HARQ进程,用该HARQ进程1的传输块1来发送数据包,或者,用该HARQ进程1的传输块2来发送数据包,将一个HARQ进程根据传输块的不同增加到两个HARQ进程,提高HARQ进程的数量。

其中,基站10可以与用户设备20间基于HARQ进行数据通信,具体的,基站10可以通过HARQ进程的双码字调度(对应两个传输块(Transport Block,TB))向用户设备20发送数据包,也可以通过HARQ进程的单码字调度向用户设备20发送数据包,相应的,用户设备20可以具有双码字解调功能,也可以具有单码字解调功能。
为了实现基于HARQ的通信,如图3所示,所述基站10可以包括:收发器1011、处理器1012、存储器1013以及至少一个通信总线1014,用于实现这些装置之间的连接和相互通信;所述用户设备20可以包括:收发器2011、处理器2012、存储器2013以及至少一个通信总线2014,用于实现这些装置之间的连接和相互通信;
其中,收发器1011、收发器2011,可以由天线来实现,可用于与外部网元之间进行数据交互,如:基站10的收发器1011可收发与用户设备20间的数据包;用户设备20的收发器2011可收发与UE或基站10间的数据包。

具体的,基站10中的处理器1012可以用于:将数据包承载在第一HARQ进程中的第一传输块上,由收发器1011向用户设备20的收发器2011发送数据包;第一HARQ进程可以为基站支持的HARQ进程中的任一HARQ进程。
处理器2012可以用于:在收发器2011接收到数据包后,确定该数据包的情况,并通过收发器2011向收发器1011返回用于反馈该数据包的情况的HARQ反馈信息。
若收发器1011接收到HARQ反馈信息时,基站支持的HARQ进程全部被使用,则处理器1012还可以用于:将数据包承载在第一HARQ进程的第二传输块,由收发器1011向收发器再次发送数据包。
如此,可以在基站接收到HARQ反馈消息时,全部HARQ进程被使用的情况下,通过HARQ进程中的未被使用的另一传输块来及 时发送数据包,使数据包得到及时调度,避免了资源浪费和整体性能损失的问题。
可选的,在收发器1011向收发器2011发送数据包之前,收发器1011还需要向收发器2011发送第一HARQ进程的调度信息,以使得处理器2012根据该调度信息确定本次发送数据包的是第一HARQ进程中的哪一个传输块,且该传输块采用的调制编码方案、冗余版本信息以及新数据指示是什么。具体的,在处理器1012将数据包承载在第一HARQ进程的第一传输块,通过收发器1011向收发器2011发送之前,处理器1012还可以用于:
将第一HARQ进程的第一调度信息封装在下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)中,由收发器1011向收发器2011发送第一调度信息;第一调度信息包含:第一HARQ进程的进程号、第一HARQ进程的第一传输块的标识信息、以及第一HARQ进程的第一传输块的控制信息,第一HARQ进程的第一传输块的控制信息包含:调度编码方案、冗余版本号以及新数据包指示信息;
处理器2012还可以用于:根据第一调度信息从第一HARQ进程的第一传输块接收数据包,并根据第一传输块的控制信息确定接收到的数据包的情况。
其中,第一HARQ进程的第一传输块的标识信息用于标识第一HARQ进程的第一传输块。
可选的,当收发器1011接收到HARQ反馈信息之后,处理器1012将数据包承载在第一HARQ进程的第二传输块,由收发器1011再次向收发器2011发送数据包之前,所述处理器1012还可以用于:
将第一HARQ进程的第二调度信息封装在DCI中,由收发器1011将向收发器2011发送第二调度信息;第二调度信息包含:第一HARQ进程的进程号、第一HARQ进程的第二传输块的标识信息、以及第一HARQ进程的第二传输块的控制信息,第一HARQ进程的第二传输块的控制信息包含:调度编码方案、冗余版本号以及新数据包指示信息;
处理器2012还可以用于:根据第二调度信息从第一HARQ进程的第二传输块接收数据包,并根据第二传输块的控制信息确定接收到的数据包的情况。
其中,第一HARQ进程的第二传输块的标识信息用于标识第一HARQ进程的第二传输块。
为了便于描述,以下实施例以步骤的形式示出并详细描述了数据传输方法的过程,其中,示出的步骤也可以在一组可执行指令的计算机系统中执行。此外,虽然在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。
图4为本发明实施例提供的一种数据传输方法的流程图,由图2所示的基站10和用户设备20交互执行;如图4所示,所述方法可以包括以下步骤:
S101:基站通过第一HARQ进程的第一传输块向用户设备发送数据包。
其中,基站支持的下行HARQ进程的个数可以为M个,M为不小于1的整数。
可选的,根据基站与用户设备间上下行配比的不同,基站所支持的下行HARQ进程的个数M可以是不同的,每个HARQ进程可以对应一个传输时间间隔(Transmit Time Interval,TTI)。具体的,表1为36.213协议规定的下行HARQ进程的个数:
表1
上下行配比 下行HARQ进程的个数
0 4
1 7
2 10
3 9
4 12
5 15
6 6
其中,M个HARQ进程中可以包含单码字调度的HARQ进程、双码字调度的HARQ进程,第一HARQ进程可以为M个HARQ进程中任意一个HARQ进程,第一传输块可以为第一HARQ进程所支持的任一传输块。
需要说明的是,单码字调度的HARQ进程可以指:仅通过一个传输块向用户设备发送数据包的HARQ进程,双码字调度的HARQ进程可以指:同时通过两个传输块向用户设备发送数据包的HARQ进程,由于,在目前的通信网络中,HARQ进程最多支持双码字调度,因此,本发明实施例仅以HARQ进程最多支持双码字调度为例进行说明,但可理解的是,随着通信技术的发展,HARQ进程还可以支持更多码字的调度,当HARQ进程支持大于两个码字的调度时,基站也可以采用本发明实施例提供的数据传输方法,通过与HARQ进程对应的大于两个的传输块向UE传输数据包。
S102:用户设备接收基站通过所述第一HARQ进程的第一传输块发送的数据包,并根据接收到的数据包的情况,向基站返回HARQ反馈消息;该HARQ反馈消息用于:反馈用户设备接收到的基站通过第一HARQ进程的第一传输块发送的数据包的情况。
其中,HARQ反馈消息可以为:肯定应答(Acknowledgement,ACK)消息,或者为否定应答(Negative Acknowledgement,NACK)。可选的,当用户设备接收到的数据包正确时,HARQ反馈消息为ACK消息,当用户设备接收到的数据包错误时,HARQ反馈消息为NACK消息。
具体的,用户设备可以根据HARQ进程的调度消息在相应HARQ进程的传输块上接收数据包,并根据该调度消息中的相关信息对接收到的数据包进行解调,确定解调出的数据包是正确的还是错误的,其中,HARQ进程的调度消息可以由基站通过物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)中的下行控制信息DCI发送至用户设备,如:在基站通过第一HARQ进程的第一传输块向UE发送数据包之前,所述方法还可以包括:
基站通过DCI向UE发送第一HARQ进程的第一调度信息,第一调度信息包含:第一HARQ进程的进程号(HARQ process number)、第一HARQ进程的第一传输块的标识信息、以及第一HARQ进程的第一传输块的控制信息,第一HARQ进程的第一传输块的控制信息包含:调度编码方案(Modulation and coding scheme,MCS)、冗余版本号(Redundancy Version Number,RV)以及新数据包指示(New Data Indicator,NDI)信息;
相应的,在步骤S102中,用户设备可以根据第一调度信息从第一HARQ进程的第一传输块接收数据包,并根据第一传输块对应的控制信息,确定该数据包的情况。
其中,HARQ进程号,也可以称为HARQ进程标识(ID),用于在不区分码字的情况下,唯一地指定一个HARQ进程。
第一HARQ进程的第一传输块的标识信息可以用于标识第一HARQ进程的第一传输块。
NDI值可以用1比特来表示,本发明对此并不限制,用于指示被调度的数据是新传还是重传,如果同一HARQ进程的NDI值与之前相比发生了变化,则表示当前传输是一个新的传输块的初传,否则,表示当前传输是同一个传输块的重传。
RV:用于指示传输块所使用的冗余版本,其取值范围为0~3。
MCS:用5比特的MCS索引(对应取值范围为0~31)来指示当前传输块所使用的调制编码方案,与资源块数共同决定本次传输的传输块的大小。
需要说明的是,在第一调度信息中未包含第二传输块的控制信息,或者,第一调度信息中包含第二传输块的控制信息,第二传输块的控制信息用于指示:第二传输块未被用于传输数据包,以便UE接收到第一控制信息后,直接从第一HARQ进程的第一传输块接收数据包。
可选的,基站可以根据DCI格式的不同将HARQ进程的调度信息写入DCI的相应字段中,例如,下表2示出了不同DCI格式下与 HARQ进程相关的字段:
表2
Figure PCTCN2016088001-appb-000001
其中,表2中Yes表示该DCI格式下的DCI中存在HARQ进程的调度信息,No表示该DCI格式下的DCI中不存在该信息,由图2可知,除了在DCI中格式中写入HARQ进程号外,DCI 1/1A/1B/1D中可写入与该HARQ进程相对应的第1个传输块的控制信息,即DCI1/1A/1B/1D可以用于在单码字调度中传输第1个TB的控制信息,DCI格式1C不支持HARQ进程,DCI 2/2A/2B/2C/2D中可以写入与该HARQ进程相对应的第1个TB和第2个TB的控制信息,即DCI2/2A/2B/2C/2D以用于在双码字调度中传输第1个TB和第2个TB的控制信息,由于,在实际应用中,若DCI 2/2A/2B/2C/2D中某TB对应的MCS的取值为0,且RV的取值为1,则表示该TB去使能,其中,TB去使能表示:该TB目前未被用于传输数据包,如此,可以在DCI 2/2A/2B/2C/2D中使某个TB去使能来实现单码字调度,如:可以使第2个TB去使能,仅传输第1个TB的控制信息,或者,可以使第1个TB去使能,仅传输第2个TB的控制信息。
可选的,用户设备根据第一传输块对应的控制信息,确定该数据包的情况,可以包括:
用户设备根据新数据指示信息确定数据包是初传还是重传;
若确定该数据包为初传,则利用冗余版本号对应的冗余比特, 根据控制信息中的调整编码方案对该数据包进行解调,根据解调结果确定该数据包正确或错误,如果正确,则将数据包送往高层,如果错误,则将数据包放入第一HARQ进程的第一传输块对应的软缓存区(soft buffer)中;
若确定该数据包为重传,则利用冗余版本号对应的冗余比特,根据控制信息中的调整编码方案对该数据包进行解调,将解调后的数据与第一HARQ进程的第一传输块对应的软缓存区中的数据进行软合并,根据合并后的结果确定该数据包正确或错误。
其中,软缓存区可以为用户设备预先划分的与每个HARQ进程对应的区域,用于将通过HARQ进程发送的数据包存入与该HARQ进程对应的区域中。例如,若基站最大支持10个HARQ进程,每个HARQ进程支持单码字调度,且单码字调度时可以选择双TB中的任一TB来发送数据包,因此,根据传输块的不同,可以将这10个HARQ进程扩展到20个HARQ进程,需要在用户设备侧划分出20个软缓存去与这20个HARQ进程相对应。
S103:基站接收HARQ反馈消息,若基站接收到HARQ反馈消息时,基站支持的HARQ进程已全部被使用,则基站根据HARQ反馈消息,通过第一HARQ进程的第二传输块向用户设备发送数据包。
可选的,若HARQ反馈消息为NACK消息,则基站可以通过第一HARQ进程的第二传输块向用户设备重传数据包;
若HARQ反馈消息为ACK消息,则基站可以通过第一HARQ进程的第二传输块向用户设备新传数据包,即重新传一新的数据包。
可理解的是,在本发明实施例的步骤S103中,首选的用第一HARQ进程的第二传输块(即未被使用的传输块)向用户设备发送数据包,除此之外,基站还可以用其他HARQ进程中未被使用的传输块传输数据包。
如此,可以通过HARQ进程中其他未被使用的传输块来及时发送数据包,以扩大原有HARQ进程的个数,避免在基站接收到HARQ反馈消息时,全部HARQ进程被使用的情况下,资源浪费和整体性 能损失的问题。
下面以基站最大支持10个HARQ进程:0~9HARQ,每个HARQ进程为单码字调度,每个HARQ进程最多支持双码字调度,且下行DCI采用表2所示的可用于指示双码字调度信息的DCI格式2/2A/2B/2C/2D中任一格式来指示单码字调度信息为例对上述过程进行举例说明:
在基站侧,可以采用0~9HARQ进程号及传输块1(TB1)来指示单码字调度的10个HARQ进程,采用0~9HARQ进程号及传输块2(TB2)来指示单码字调度的另外10个HARQ进程。
基站优先采用0~9HARQ进程号及TB1来指示单码字调度的HARQ进程的调度信息,字段内容可以如下所示:
HARQ process number-4bits(取值范围为0~9)
for transport block 1:
Modulation and coding scheme–5bits(取值范围为0~31)
Redundancy version–2bits(根据重传次数,依次为0/2/3/1或者0/3/2/1)
for transport block 2:
Modulation and coding scheme–5bits(取值为0)
Redundancy version–2bits(取值为1)
上述字段说明,当前单码字调度中TB1被用来传输数据包,而TB2未被用来传输数据包。
0~9HARQ进程号及TB1指示的10个HARQ进程用完后,再采用0~9HARQ进程号及TB2来指示另外10个单码字调度的HARQ进程,其与调度信息有关的字段内容可以如下所示:
HARQ process number-4bits(取值范围为0~9)
for transport block 1:
Modulation and coding scheme–5bits(取值为0)
Redundancy version–2bits(取值为1)
for transport block 2:
Modulation and coding scheme–5bits(取值范围为0~31)
Redundancy version–2bits(根据重传次数,依次为0/2/3/1或者0/3/2/1)
上述字段说明,当前单码字调度中TB2被用来传输数据包,而TB1未被用来传输数据包。
在终端侧,当读取到TB1被用来传输数据包,而TB2未被用来传输数据包的调度信息后,则根据调度信息中的HARQ进程号将接收到的数据存入与该HARQ进程对应的前10个soft buffer里面,如:HARQ进程号为0的数据存入0号soft buffer里面,HARQ进程号为1的数据存入1号soft buffer里面,依次内推,直到将HARQ进程号为9的数据存入9号soft buffer里面。
当读取到TB1未被用来传输数据包,TB2被用来传输数据包的调度信息后,根据调度信息中的HARQ进程号将接收到的数据存入对应的后10个soft buffer里面,如:将HARQ进程号为0的数据存入10号soft buffer里面,将HARQ进程号为1的数据存入11号soft buffer里面,依次内推,直到将HARQ进程号为9的数据存入19号soft buffer里面。
终端侧如果解调正确,则反馈ACK,并将对应soft buffer的数据传向高层;基站侧如果接收到ACK,则可用使用相同的HARQ进程号及TB调度信息来调度下一个新传数据。如果解调失败,则反馈NACK,等待基站侧的重传到达后与soft buffer中的数据进行合并,以得到重传合并增益;基站侧重传时使用相同的HARQ进程号及TB调度信息。
可理解的是,与上述例子不同的是,基站也可以优先采用0~9HARQ进程号及TB2来指示10个HARQ进程,当这10个HARQ进程全部被使用后,再采用0~9HARQ进程号及TB1来指示另外10个HARQ进程,其中,每个HARQ进程的传输块的调度过程与上述相同,在此不再详细赘述。
由上可知,本发明实施例提供一种数据传输方法,基站通过第 一HARQ进程的第一传输块向用户设备UE发送数据包,并接收UE返回的HARQ反馈消息,若基站接收到HARQ反馈消息时,基站支持的M个HARQ进程已全部被使用,则基站根据HARQ反馈消息,通过第一HARQ进程的第二传输块向UE发送数据包。如此,可以通过HARQ进程中的另一未被使用的传输块来及时发送数据包,以扩大原有HARQ进程的个数,避免了在基站接收到HARQ反馈消息时,全部HARQ进程被使用导致的资源浪费和整体性能损失的问题。
下面本发明实施例还提供一种基站,优选的,该基站用于实现上述方法中基站所执行的过程。

同样可选的,在所述发送单元301通过所述第一HARQ进程的第二传输块向所述UE发送数据包之前,所述发送单元301也需要通过DCI向UE发送所述第一HARQ进程的第二调度信息,以使UE根据第二调度信息,从第二调度信息所指示的传输块接收数据包,并确定接收到的数据包的情况。
