Description

Uplink transmission process number indication method and related equipment

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to an uplink transmission process number indication method and related device.

Background technique

In the near future, mobile data traffic will explode. It is estimated that global mobile data traffic will grow by more than 200 times between 2010 and 2020, and will increase by nearly 20,000 times between 2010 and 2030. In the future, the total number of devices connected to the global mobile communication network will reach 100 billion. It is estimated that by 2020, the number of global mobile terminals (excluding IoT devices) will exceed 10 billion, of which China will exceed 2 billion. The number of global IoT device connections will also grow rapidly to 2030, and the number of IoT devices in the world will be close to 100 billion, of which China has more than 20 billion.

Currently, in the LTE (Long Term Evolution) system, uplink and downlink data scheduling is performed by a PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) or an Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel). The one-to-one scheduling of the eNB (Evolved Node B) and the UE (User Equipment) is implemented, that is, each UE can receive the uplink scheduling from the eNB for the UE through the PDCCH or the E-PDCCH. instruction. The high number of user connections in future communications, as well as the potential amount of concurrent access users, pose a challenge to the capacity of the control channel. In the future LTE evolution system, optimization of control channel overhead will become an important direction. The uplink-competitive transmission scheme based on the unscheduled is an optimization direction. In this solution, the eNB configures the same contention resources for a group of UEs and does not send an uplink scheduling instruction for a single UE, and the uplink data transmission of the UE is initiated by itself.

In this unscheduled uplink contention transmission scheme, when different UEs compete for transmission on the same contention resource, a collision may occur and the transmission fails. If the retransmission scheme adopts the synchronous retransmission (the retransmission time is kept at a fixed time interval from the initial transmission time), the UE that collides at the initial transmission will be simultaneously transmitted at the time of retransmission and the collision is accumulated. Therefore, the asynchronous broadcast transmission without scheduling needs to adopt the scheme of asynchronous retransmission, wherein asynchronous retransmission means that there is no fixed time interval between the initial transmission and the retransmission. Specifically, when synchronous retransmission is enabled (a fixed time interval k is used between the initial transmission and the retransmission), the retransmission at a certain time n is determined by the initial transmission, retransmission and initial transmission. The connection can be determined by the timing relationship timing, but in the case of asynchronous retransmission, the connection cannot be established directly, and the retransmission at time n may also be initiated by the initial transmission at other times.

If the application scenario has high requirements on the transmission delay, then multiple HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest) processes need to be enabled to ensure that multiple packets can be transmitted in parallel when they arrive at the same time ( Conversely, multiple packets can only be sent after the next packet has been sent. The concept of the HARQ process is that if there is only a single HARQ process, before a packet completes the transmission task (including initial transmission, retransmission until the last transmission is completed), the next packet cannot initiate transmission, and the multiple HARQ process is equivalent to multiple parallels. The single HARQ process, then other packets can also initiate transmission before a packet transmission task is completed, but this does not mean that the retransmission of the post-transmission packet will be later than the packet sent first, such as the process number received at time n. For the initial transmission packet of 1, the initial transmission packet with process number 2 is received at time n+1, then the retransmission packet received at time n+5 may be process number 2, and retransmission is received at time n+6. The package may be process number 1. Therefore, there is a concept of the HARQ process, and the associated initial packet and retransmission packet are associated with the HARQ process number.

If multiple uplink HARQ processes are enabled, the UE must obtain the process ID used for the current transmission on each transmission. Otherwise, the eNB cannot associate the initial transmission packet in the same HARQ process with the retransmission packet. Get the HARQ merge gain. The eNB cannot indicate the HARQ process ID to the UE under the unscheduled uplink contending transmission scheme. Therefore, how the UE transmits the HARQ process ID to the eNB is an urgent problem to be solved.
