Description

指示HARQ进程号的方法、网络设备和用户设备 技术领域
本发明实施例涉及通信领域，并且更具体地，涉及一种指示HARQ进程号的方法、网络设备和用户设备。
背景技术
在第三代伙伴计划协议(3GPP，3rd Generation Partnership Project)Rel-13版本中，可以利用下行控制信息(DCI，downlink control information)来指示HARQ进程号或索引。例如，用户设备(UE，User Equipment)支持的最大HARQ进程数目为8个，DCI包含一个3比特的HARQ进程编号字段，该HARQ进程编号字段用于指示8个HARQ进程号。HARQ进程号是该DCI所调度的物理下行共享信道(PDSCH，Physical Downlink Shared Channel)或物理上行共享信道(PUSCH，Physical Uplink Shared Channel)对应的HARQ进程的编号。
在Rel-13中，若DCI格式(format)6-1A的DCI传输的结束子帧的子帧时刻为子帧n，则该DCI所调度的PDSCH传输的起始子帧可以为n+k，这里k>＝2。DCI传输的结束子帧与该DCI所调度的PDSCH传输的起始子帧之间至少间隔一个子帧的偏移，即DCI跨子帧调度PDSCH。由于跨子帧调度，若UE支持的最大HARQ进程数目是8个，UE只能最多使用80％的下行子帧来接收PDSCH，这样UE的峰值速率会降低。
为了使UE能利用所有的下行子帧，可以增加UE支持的最大HARQ进程数目。例如，在Rel-14中，可以将UE支持的最大HARQ进程数目从8个增加到10个。当UE支持的最大HARQ进程数目是10个时，UE就可以使用所有的下行子帧来接收PDSCH，这样UE的峰值速率不会降低。
然而，当UE的最大HARQ进程数目是10个时，能够指示DCI中的3比特的HARQ进程号字段无法指示10个进程。虽然可以考虑采用更多的比特来指示更多的进程号，但这可能需要引入新的DCI format。
因此，亟待提出一种能够指示更多HARQ进程号而不改变现有DCI格式的方案。
发明内容
本发明的实施例提供一种指示HARQ进程号的方法、网络设备和用户设备，能够指示更多HARQ进程号而不改变现有DCI格式。
第一方面，提供了一种指示HARQ进程号的方法，包括：网络设备确定HARQ进程号，HARQ进程号是下行控制信息DCI所调度的数据信道对应的HARQ进程的编号；网络设备向用户设备发送DCI，其中DCI包括第一字段和指示信息，第一字段是HARQ进程编号字段，第一字段和指示信息联合指示了所确定的HARQ进程号。
基于本申请的技术方案，可以通过常规HARQ进程编号字段和其它指示信息联合指示HARQ进程号，从而能够在不引入新的DCI格式的情况下使得UE支持的最大HARQ进程数目大于常规HARQ进程编号字段所能指示的HARQ进程数目。
另外，由于采用新的格式会降低控制信道传输的灵活性和增加控制信道传输的资源开销，因此，本发明的实施例通过避免引入新的DCI格式来指示更多的HARQ进程号，能够节省资源开销，提高资源指示的灵活性。
在第二方面，提供了一种指示HARQ进程号的方法，包括：用户设备接收网络设备发送的下行控制信息DCI，其中DCI包括第一字段和指示信息，第一字段是HARQ进程编号字段，HARQ进程编号字段和指示信息联合指示了HARQ进程号，HARQ进程号是DCI所调度的数据信道对应的HARQ进程的编号；用户设备根据第一字段和指示信息确定HARQ进程号。

根据本发明的实施例利用上述节余比特与HARQ进程编号字段联合指示HARQ进程号，既能够避免引入新的DCI格式，又能提高DCI中用于指示重复次数的字段的利用率。因此，可以限制某些重复次数和HARQ进程的对应关系，通过采用这样的对应关系来指示HARQ进程号，而无需额外的比特开销，从而优化了资源利用。

在某些实施例中，M＝3，N＝10。
在某些实施例中，第二信道是物理下行控制信道，或物理下行共享信道，或物理上行共享信道。

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，所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本发明保护的范围。
应理解，本发明的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统，例如：GSM(Global System of Mobile communication，全球移动通讯)系统、CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access，码分多址)系统、WCDMA(，Wideband Code Division Multiple Access，宽带码分多址)系统、GPRS(General Packet Radio Service，通用分组无线业务)、LTE(Long Term Evolution，长期演进)系统、LTE-A(Advanced long term evolution，先进的长期演进)系统、UMTS(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System，通用移动通信系统)、TD-SCDMA(Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access，时分同步码分多址)等，本发明实施例并不限定，但为了描述方便，本发明实施例将以LTE网络为例进行说明。
本发明实施例可以用于不同的制式的无线网络。无线接入网络在不同的系统中可包括不同的网元。例如，LTE和LTE-A中无线接入网络的网元包括eNB(eNodeB，演进型基站)，WCDMA中无线接入网络的网元包括RNC(Radio Network Controller，无线网络控制器)和NodeB，类似地，WiMax(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access，全球微波互联接入)，WiFi(无线高保真)等其它无线网络也可以使用与本发明实施例类似的方案，只是基站系统中的相关模块可能有所不同，本发明实施例并不限定，但为描述方便，下述实施例将以eNodeB为例进行说明。
还应理解，在本发明实施例中，用户设备(UE，User Equipment)包括但不限于移动台(MS，Mobile Station)、移动终端(Mobile Terminal)、移动电话(Mobile Telephone)、手机(handset)、机器类型通讯(MTC，Machine-Type Communications)设备及便携设备(portable equipment)等，该用户设备可 以经无线接入网(RAN，Radio Access Network)与一个或多个核心网进行通信，例如，用户设备可以是移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)、具有无线通信功能的计算机等，用户设备还可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置。
为了指示更的HARQ进程号，虽然可以通过引入新的DCI格式来实现，但新的DCI格式(format)的净荷大小(payload size)与现有DCI格式例如DCI format 6-1A的净荷大小很可能不同，这样，如果随机接入响应(RAR，Radom Access Response)、寻呼(Paging)、MPDCCH(PDCCH for MTC)order基于DCI format 6-1A，则UE需要监测两种DCI大小，如果搜索空间大小不变，这样会增加UE盲检测控制信道的次数。如果UE盲检测控制信道的次数不增加，那么降低UE的搜索空间的大小，从而降低了控制信道传输的灵活性。两种DCI大小会增加UE的缓存的大小，这样也增加了UE的成本。如果RAR、寻呼、MPDCCH order基于新的DCI format，这样UE可以监测一种DCI大小，但是如果一个RAR或寻呼消息中既包含了Rel-13UE的RAR，也包含了Rel-14UE的RAR，那么基站需要发送两个控制信道，这样会增加系统的开销。特别是在覆盖增强的场景下，控制信道需要重复传输很多次，这样会大大增加控制信道传输的资源开销。
因此，本发明的实施例提出了一种指示HARQ进程号的方案，能够指示更多HARQ进程号而不改变现有DCI格式，从而避免引入新的DCI格式所造成的问题。
图1是根据本发明一个实施例的通信系统100的架构图。
通信系统100可以包括UE 110至160以及网络设备170。网络设备170可以通过空口与UE 110至160通信。而某些UE之间也可以进行近距离通信。网络设备170可以指网络侧的一种用来发送或接收信号的实体，例如，可以是NodeB或eNodeB之类的基站，但是本发明的实施例不限于该术语代表的具体制式，而是可以类似地应用于其他形式的基站，例如，接入点(AP)等接入网设备。UE可以是任意的终端，例如，UE可以是机器类通信(MTC)的用户设备。
本发明的实施例主要应用于长期演进LTE系统或高级的长期演进LTE-A(LTE Advanced)系统，本发明的实施例并不限于此，本发明的实施例也可以应用于其它的通信系统，只要该通信系统中存在实体需要指示与另一 个实体通信的资源分配，而另一个实体需要通过某种方式解读资源分配即可。
在通信系统100中，基站可以发送调度消息给UE 110至160中的一个或多个UE。应理解，UE140至160也可以组成一个通信系统，在该通信系统中，UE150可以发送调度信息给UE140和UE160中的一个或多个UE，在这种情况下，UE 150也可以相当于是本发明实施例的网络设备。
图2是根据本发明一个实施例的指示HARQ进程号的方法的示意性流程图。图2的方法可以由图1中的网络设备和用户设备执行。图2的方法包括如下内容。
210，网络设备确定HARQ进程号，HARQ进程号是DCI所调度的数据信道对应的HARQ进程的编号。
例如，数据信道可以是PDSCH或PUSCH。为提高通信效率，采用多进程并行传输数据信道。例如，在常规DCI中，采用3比特的HARQ进程编号字段指示最多8个HARQ进程。而在本发明的实施例中，UE支持的最大HARQ进程数目可以超过HARQ进程编号字段所能指示的最大HARQ进程数目。
220，网络设备向用户设备发送DCI，其中DCI包括第一字段和指示信息，第一字段是HARQ进程编号字段，第一字段和指示信息联合指示了所确定的HARQ进程号。
230，用户设备根据接收到DCI中包含的第一字段和指示信息确定HARQ进程号。
具体而言，网络设备和用户设备可以预先约定采用HARQ进程编号字段和指示信息联合指示HARQ进程号。也可以由网络设备通知用户设备采用HARQ进程编号字段和指示信息联合指示HARQ进程号，或者由通过高层信令通知网络设备和用户设备采用HARQ进程编号字段和指示信息联合指示HARQ进程号。这样，在HARQ进程编号字段无法指示的需要指示HARQ进程号时，网络设备可以向用户设备发送包含HARQ进程编号字段的某种比特状态和某种指示信息的DCI，使得用户设备接收到该DCI时，可以据此确定对应的HARQ进程号。
根据本发明的实施例，可以通过常规HARQ进程编号字段和其它指示信息联合指示HARQ进程号，从而能够在不引入新的DCI格式的情况下使 得UE支持的最大HARQ进程数目大于常规HARQ进程编号字段所能指示的HARQ进程数目。
另外，由于采用新的格式会降低控制信道传输的灵活性和增加控制信道传输的资源开销，因此，本发明的实施例通过避免引入新的DCI格式来指示更多的HARQ进程号，能够节省资源开销，提高资源指示的灵活性。
根据本发明的实施例，上述指示信息可以为节余比特，其中节余比特是通过降低DCI中指示第二信道的重复级别的字段的比特数所节省的比特。这里，由于重复级别可以用来表示对应的重复等级，因此，本领域技术人员应理解，上述用于指示第二信道的重复级别的字段也可以解释为用于指示第二信道的重复次数的字段。
具体而言，在增强覆盖的场景下，信道可能需要重复传输，而在DCI中可以包括用于指示信道的重复次数的字段，即指示该信道需要被重复传输的次数。例如，该字段可以是用于指示DCI子帧的重复次数的字段。进一步，可以根据高层配置的最大重复次数确定信道的不同重复级别对应的重复次数。
以Rel-13中的控制信道为例，例如，DCI中可以采用2比特来指示四种重复级别：r1、r2、r3和r4。当最大重复次数为1时，r1对应的重复次数为1，而其它重复级别对应的重复次数为不可用状态；当最大重复次数为2时，r1对应的重复次数为1，r2对应的重复次数为2，而其它重复级别对应的重复次数为不可用状态。因此，第二信道的最大重复次数小于等于2时，使用1个比特就可以指示r1和r2。这样，可以节省1个比特用于与HARQ进程编号字段联合指示HARQ进程号。例如，可以采用该字段第一位上的比特指示r1和r2，而采用该字段第二位上的比特与HARQ进程编号字段联合指示HARQ进程号，反之亦然。
根据本发明的实施例利用上述节余比特与HARQ进程编号字段联合指示HARQ进程号，既能够避免引入新的DCI格式，又能提高DCI中用于指示重复次数的字段的利用率。
可替代地，作为另一实施例，指示信息是DCI中所指示的第二信道的重复级别。
具体来说，可以利用第二信道的重复级别与HARQ进程编号字段的特定组合来联合指示HARQ进程号。由于UE一般只有在不重复的时候才有可 能使用所有的HARQ进程，因此，若某个HARQ进程关联的PDSCH被重复传输，则UE实际使用的进程数小于其所支持的最大HARQ进程数目。因此，重复传输和支持最大的HARQ进程数目是相互矛盾的。例如，Rel-13的UE支持最多8个HARQ进程，假设新的UE需要增加HARQ进程。新的UE支持最大M个HARQ进程，这里M大于8。如果基站允许UE使用超过8个HARQ进程，则可以认为UE的无线环境是好的，因此UE应该不需要重复。如果UE的信道传输需要重复，则UE通常不会使用所有的HARQ进程。因此，可以限制某些重复次数和HARQ进程的对应关系，通过采用这样的对应关系来指示HARQ进程号，而无需额外的比特开销，从而优化了资源利用。
例如，第二信道可以有从小到大四个重复级别n1、n2、n3、n4，重复级别越大，对应的重复次数也越大，即第4个重复级别n4对应的重复次数最大。由于上述重复次数与最大HARQ进程数目的矛盾，所以当最大HARQ进程数目超过HARQ进程编号字段所能指示的HARQ进程数目时，重复级别4可以理解为不用于指示重复次数，因此，上述指示信息的重复级别可以是第二信道的第4个重复级别，或者上述指示信息的重复级别是第二信道的最大重复级别。
可替代地，作为另一实施例，指示信息是DCI中指示第二信道的重复级别的字段的比特状态。例如，上述指示信息的比特状态可以为11。
仍以Rel-13中的控制信道为例，当最大重复次数为4时，r1对应的重复次数为1，r2对应的重复次数为2，r3对应的重复次数为4，而r4重复级别对应的重复次数为不可用状态。只有当最大重复次数大于或等于8时，r4的重复次数才均为可用状态。因此，当最大重复次数小于4时，上述指示信息的比特状态可以为10或11。而指示信息的比特状态为11可以应用到当最大重复次数小于等于4的情形。
根据本发明的实施例，第二信道的重复级别属于第一重复级别集合时，第一字段指示的HARQ进程号属于0至2M-1，第二信道的重复级别属于第二重复级别集合时，第一字段指示的HARQ进程号属于2M至(N-1)。第一重复级别集合包括一个或多个重复级别，第二重复级别集合包括一个或多个重复级别，第一重复级别集合和第二重复级别集合的交集为空，N>2M，M和N为正整数。
可替代地，作为另一实施例，第二信道的重复级别属于第一重复级别集合时，第一字段指示的HARQ进程号属于1至2M，第二信道的重复级别属于第二重复级别集合时，第一字段指示的HARQ进程号属于2M+1至N。第一重复级别集合包括一个或多个重复级别，第二重复级别集合包括一个或多个重复级别，第一重复级别集合和第二重复级别集合的交集为空，N>2M，M和N为正整数。
具体而言，第二信道的重复级别包括重复级别r1、重复级别r2、重复级别r3和重复级别r4，分别对应于第二信道的重复次数。第二信道的最大重复次数小于等于1时，第一重复级别集合包括重复级别r1，第二重复级别集合包括重复级别r2、重复级别r3和重复级别r4；或，第二信道的最大重复次数小于等于2时，第一重复级别集合包括重复级别r1和重复级别r2，第二重复级别集合包括重复级别r3和重复级别r4；或，当第二信道的最大重复次数小于等于4时，第一重复级别集合包括重复级别r1、重复级别r2和重复级别r3，第二重复级别集合包括重复级别r4。
以M＝3，N＝10且第一字段指示的HARQ进程号属于0至2M-1为例，当重复级别属于第一重复级别集合时，DCI中的3比特HARQ进程编号字段000～111八个状态分别指示了HARQ进程0～7。当重复级别属于第二重复级别集合时，在DCI中的3比特HARQ进程编号字段中，000指示了HARQ进程是8，001指示了HARQ进程是9。由于在指示增加的HARQ进程号时，可以按照顺序从HARQ进程编号字段的比特状态中选择比特状态，因此，设计简单。当重复级别属于第一重复级别集合时，DCI中的3比特HARQ进程编号字段000～111八个状态分别指示了HARQ进程0～7。由于在指示增加的HARQ进程号时，可以按照顺序从HARQ进程编号字段的比特状态中选择比特状态，因此，设计简单。
可替代地，当重复级别属于第二重复级别集合时，在DCI中的3比特HARQ进程编号字段中，000指示了HARQ进程是8，111指示了HARQ进程是9。由于指示HARQ进程8的比特状态和指示HARQ进程9的比特状态中有3个比特的状态不同，这样指示HARQ进程的虚警概率较低。
根据本发明的实施例，第二信道的重复级别和第一字段的比特状态的组合属于第一集合时，网络设备指示的HARQ进程号属于0至2M-1，第二信道的重复级别和第一字段的比特状态的组合属于第二集合时，网络设备指示 的HARQ进程号属于2M至(N-1)；其中，第一集合包括一个或多个组合，第二集合包括一个或多个组合，第一集合和第二集合的交集为空，N>2M，M和N为正整数。例如，M＝3，N＝10。
可替代地，作为另一实施例，第二信道的重复级别和第一字段的比特状态的组合属于第一集合时，网络设备指示的HARQ进程号属于1至2M，第二信道的重复级别和第一字段的比特状态的组合属于第二集合时，网络设备指示的HARQ进程号属于2M+1至N；其中，第一集合包括一个或多个组合，第二集合包括一个或多个组合，第一集合和第二集合的交集为空，N>2M，M和N为正整数。例如，M＝3，N＝10。
以M＝3，N＝10且第一字段指示的HARQ进程号属于0至2M-1为例，重复级别n1至n3和比特状态000至111的组合属于第一集合，重复级别n4和比特状态000和111的组合属于第二集合；或者，重复级别n1至n3和比特状态000至111的组合属于第一集合，重复级别n4和比特状态000和001的组合属于第二集合。
可替代地，重复级别n2至n4和比特状态000至111的组合属于第一集合，重复级别n1和比特状态000和111的组合属于第二集合；或者，重复级别n2至n4和比特状态000至111的组合属于第一集合，重复级别n1和比特状态000和001的组合属于第二集合。
在上述实现方式中，由于在指示增加的HARQ进程号时，可以按照顺序从HARQ进程编号字段的比特状态中选择比特状态，因此，设计简单。由于指示HARQ进程8的比特状态和指示HARQ进程9的比特状态中有3个比特的状态不同，这样指示HARQ进程的虚警概率较低。
根据本发明的实施例，上述第二信道可以是物理下行控制信道，或物理下行共享信道，或物理上行共享信道。
根据本发明的实施例，上述DCI的格式可以是DCI格式6-1A、DCI格式6-0A、DCI格式6-1B、或DCI格式6-0B，第一字段可以是DCI中的3比特HARQ进程编号字段。
下面结合具体例子，更加详细地描述本发明的实施例。
图3是根据本发明另一实施例的指示HARQ进程号的方法的示意性流程图。图3的方法是图1的方法的例子。图3的方法包括如下内容。
310，网络设备接收高层信令。
例如，该高层信令可以携带信道的最大重复次数，以便网络设备根据该高层信令确定信道的重复等级和对应的重复次数。
320，网络设备确定数据信道的HARQ进程号，HARQ进程号是DCI所调度的数据信道对应的HARQ进程的编号。
例如，网络设备可以根据调度的需要确定数据信道的HARQ进程号。
330，网络设备确定UE的能力，如果UE的能力指示了支持的最大HARQ进程数目没有超过预设的阈值，执行步骤350；否则执行步骤340。
例如，该预设的阈值可以是HARQ进程编号字段所能指示的最大HARQ进程数目。例如，预设的阈值等于8。
340，网络设备向UE发送DCI，其中DCI包括HARQ进程编号字段和指示信息，HARQ进程编号字段和指示信息联合指示了所确定的HARQ进程号。
例如，网络设备可以根据确定的信道的重复等级或对应的重复次数确定用于联合指示HARQ进程号的HARQ进程编号字段和指示信息。具体描述可以参照下面的实施例一至实施例三，为了避免重复，在此不再赘述。
350，网络设备向UE发送DCI，其中DCI包括HARQ进程编号字段，HARQ进程编号字段指示了所确定的HARQ进程号。
例如，可以按照Rel-13中描述的常规方法发送DCI，这里不再赘述。
360，如果UE支持的最大HARQ进程数目超过预设的阈值，则执行步骤370；否则，执行步骤380。
例如，该预设的阈值可以是HARQ进程编号字段所能指示的最大HARQ进程数目。例如，预设的阈值等于8。
370，UE根据接收到DCI中包含的HARQ进程编号字段和指示信息确定HARQ进程号。
如果UE支持的最大HARQ进程数目超过HARQ进程编号字段所能指示的最大HARQ进程数目，则可以根据HARQ进程编号字段的比特状态和指示信息的组合与HARQ进程编号的对应关系确定HARQ进程号。UE根据确定的HARQ进程号与网络设备进行数据通信。
380，UE根据接收到DCI中包含的HARQ进程编号字段确定HARQ进程号。
如果UE支持的最大HARQ进程数目不超过HARQ进程编号字段所能 指示的最大HARQ进程数目，则可以根据HARQ进程编号字段的比特状态确定HARQ进程号，以便根据确定的HARQ进程号与网络设备进行数据通信。
本发明的实施例可以根据UE支持的最大HARQ进程数目来选择是否采用HARQ进程编号字段和指示信息联合指示HARQ进程号还是采用HARQ进程编号字段单独指示HARQ进程号，从而提高了系统的兼容性。
图4示出了HARQ进程的示意图。
常规UE支持的最大HARQ进程数目为8，为了使UE能够利用所有的下行子帧，可以增加UE支持的最大HARQ进程数目。例如，将UE支持的最大HARQ进程数目从8个增加到10个。参见图4，当UE的最大HARQ进程数目是10个时，UE就可以使用所有的下行子帧来接收PDSCH，这样UE的峰值速率不会降低。例如，PDCCH上的第0子帧和第1子帧调度PDSCH上的第2子帧和第3子帧，PUCCH上的第6子帧和第7子帧发送PDSCH上的第2子帧和第3子帧的确认帧，例如，ACK或NACK。
应理解，在版本13中，PDCCH可以为MPDCCH。
下面结合具体例子，更加详细地描述如何采用HARQ进程编号字段和指示信息来联合指示HARQ进程号。
在以下实施例中，以UE重用Rel-13的遗留(legacy)DCI为例对本发明的实施例进行详细说明。例如，UE可以重用Rel-13的DCI format 6-1A、DCI format 6-0A、DCI format 6-1B、DCI format 6-0B中的至少一个，其中该HARQ进程编号字段包括3个比特，最多可以指示8个进程，UE支持的最大HARQ进程数目为10个。上述指示信息可以是DCI中用于指示信道的重复级别的字段的节余比特、用于指示信道的重复级别的字段的比特状态或者DCI指示的信道的重复级别。
实施例一
在本实施例中，以控制信道为例，可以利用DCI指示中用于指示控制信道的重复级别的字段的节余比特和HARQ进程编号字段来联合指示HARQ进程号。这里，控制信道的重复级别具体用于指示DCI子帧的重复次数。
如下表1所示，控制信道的传输可以有4个重复级别：r1、r2、r3和r4，对应于控制信道的4种重复次数，例如，可以对应于DCI子帧的4种重复次 数。网络设备可以根据高层配置的最大重复次数rmax确定r1、r2、r3和r4的取值。针对不同的最大重复次数，同一重复级别可以对应于不同的重复次数。例如，当rmax＝1时，r1＝1，r2、r3和r4是没有取值的，即为不可用(non-applicable)状态。当rmax＝2时，r1＝1，r2＝2，r3和r4为不可用状态，当rmax＝4时，r1＝1，r2＝2，r3＝4，r4为不可用状态。rmax≥8，r1＝rmax/8，r2＝rmax/4，r3＝rmax/2，r4＝rmax。
表1:控制信道的最大重复次数与重复级别的映射
rmax r1 r2 r3 r4
1 1 - - -
2 1 2 - -
4 1 2 4 -
>＝8 rmax/8 rmax/4 rmax/2 rmax
如下表2所示，DCI中可以有2个比特指示控制信道的重复级别是r1、r2、r3和r4中的那一个重复级别。例如，00指重复级别r1，01指重复级别r2，10指重复级别r3，11指重复级别r4。
表2:重复级别与重复级别字段的比特状态的映射
R 重复级别字段的比特状态
r1 00
r2 01
r3 10
r4 11
根据表1，当rmax小于等于2时，r3和r4实际上是没有取值的，即为不可用状态。此时，可以只用一个比特来指示DCI子帧的重复级别。相对于Rel-13DCI中的2个比特指示DCI子帧的重复级别，这样就节省出来一个比特。然后将节省出来的1个节余比特与常规DCI中原本指示HARQ进程号的3比特结合起来，构成4比特。利用这4个比特指示PDSCH的HARQ进程号。如表3举例，可以有不同的方法利用这4个比特指示PDSCH的HARQ进程号。
表3中，假设UE支持的最大HARQ进程数目为10个，且10个HARQ 进程号(或索引)为0～9。表3给出了4种指示或者映射HARQ进程号的方法。在表3中，节余比特位于4个比特的最高位，并且节余比特的比特状态0与HARQ进程编号字段结合用于联合指示原本由HARQ进程编号字段单独指示的HARQ进程号，节余比特的比特状态1与HARQ进程编号字段结合用于指示更多的HARQ进程号，但本技术人员应理解的是，节余比特可以位于4个比特的任意位置，而且也可以是节余比特的比特状态0与HARQ进程编号字段结合用于原本由HARQ进程编号字段单独指示的HARQ进程号，节余比特的比特状态0与HARQ进程编号字段结合用于指示更多的HARQ进程号。
对于映射方法1，0000～0111这八个状态分别指示了HARQ进程0～7，而1000指示了HARQ进程是8，而1001指示了HARQ进程是9。
对于映射方法2，0000～0111这八个状态分别指示了HARQ进程0～7，而1000指示了HARQ进程是8，而1111指示了HARQ进程是9。映射方法2和映射方法1的区别是：映射方法2中指示HARQ进程8的比特状态和指示HARQ进程9的比特状态中有3个比特的状态不同，这样指示HARQ进程的虚警概率较低。映射方法1中指示HARQ进程8的比特状态和指示HARQ进程9的比特状态中只有1个比特的状态不同，这样，与映射方法2相比，指示HARQ进程的虚警概率较大。
对于映射方法3，如果节省出来的一个比特的比特状态为0，则Rel-13DCI中HARQ进程编号字段对应的3比特的000～111这八个状态分别指示了HARQ进程0～7。如果节省出来的一个比特的比特状态为1，则Rel-13DCI中HARQ进程编号字段对应的3比特的000指示了HARQ进程8，Rel-13DCI中HARQ进程编号字段对应的3比特的001指示了HARQ进程9。
对于映射方法4，如果节省出来的一个比特的比特状态为0，则Rel-13DCI中HARQ进程编号字段对应的3比特的000～111这八个状态分别指示了HARQ进程0～7。如果节省出来的一个比特的比特状态为1，则Rel-13DCI中HARQ进程编号字段对应的3比特的000指示了HARQ进程8，Rel-13DCI中HARQ进程编号字段对应的3比特的111指示了HARQ进程9。映射方法3和映射方法4的区别类似于映射方法2和映射方法1的区别，这里不再赘述。

实施例二
在本实施例中，可以利用DCI指示中用于指示控制信道的重复级别的字段的比特状态和HARQ进程编号字段来联合指示HARQ进程号。这里，控制信道的重复级别具体用于指DCI子帧的重复次数。
根据表1，当rmax＝1时，r1＝1、r2、r3和r4为不可用(non-applicable)状态。当rmax＝2时，r3和r4为不可用状态，当rmax＝4时，r4为不可用状态。这样，可以根据处于不可用状态的重复级别对应的比特状态与DCI指示中的HARQ进程编号字段来联合指示HARQ进程号。
若r1＝1，可以根据r2、r3和r4对应的比特状态来指示HARQ进程号。例如，若重复级别为r1时，DCI中的3比特HARQ进程编号字段指示的是0～7中的HARQ进程号。若重复级别为r2、r3和r4中的任何一个时，那么DCI中的3比特HARQ进程编号字段指示的是附加的HARQ进程号。附加的HARQ进程号与重复级别结合来指示取值大于7的HARQ进程号。
若rmax＝2,可以根据r3和r4对应的比特状态来指示HARQ进程号。例如，若重复级别为r1和r2中的任何一个时，DCI中的3比特HARQ进程编号字段指示的是0～7中的HARQ进程号。若重复级别为r3或r4，那么DCI中的3比特HARQ进程编号字段指示的是附加的HARQ进程号。附加的HARQ 进程号指的是取值大于7的HARQ进程号。
若rmax＝4，可以根据r4对应的比特状态来指示HARQ进程号。例如，若重复级别为r1、r2和r3中的任何一个时，DCI中的3比特HARQ进程编号字段指示的是0～7中的HARQ进程号。若重复级别为r4，那么DCI中的3比特HARQ进程编号字段指示的是附加的HARQ进程号。附加的HARQ进程号指的是取值大于7的HARQ进程号。
需要指出的是，如果DCI中的重复级别字段指示的是一个没有取值的重复级别，那么该DCI的控制信道的重复次数是1，即该控制信道只在一个子帧内映射和传输。

表4中，假设UE支持的最大HARQ进程为10个，且10个HARQ进程号(或索引)为0～9。表4给出了指示或者映射HARQ进程号的方法。
对于映射方法5，当重复级别为ri时，DCI中的3比特HARQ进程编号字段000～111这八个状态分别指示了HARQ进程0～7。当DCI子帧重复级别指示的是rj时，在DCI中的3比特HARQ进程编号字段中，000指示了HARQ进程是8，001指示了HARQ进程是9。这里ri和rj是不同的。特别地，ri是表1中有值的重复级别，rj是表1中没有值或不可应用的重复级别。
对于映射方法6，当DCI子帧重复级别指示的是ri时，DCI中的3比特HARQ进程编号字段000～111这八个状态分别指示了HARQ进程0～7。当 重复级别指示的是rj时，DCI中的3比特HARQ进程编号字段000指示了HARQ进程是8，111指示了HARQ进程是9。这里ri和rj是不同的重复级别。特别地，ri是表1中有值的重复级别，ri是表1中没有值或不可应用的重复级别。
映射方法5和映射方法6的区别类似于映射方法2和映射方法1的区别，这里不再赘述。
需要说明的是，在应用本实施例方法时，还可以固定DCI中的跳频标记字段的比特状态,以降低虚警概率。例如，当基站指示的HARQ进程号是8或9时，可以将DCI中的跳频标记字段的比特状态固定为0。
实施例三
在本实施例中，可以利用DCI指示中用于指示的数据信道的重复级别和HARQ进程编号字段来联合指示HARQ进程号。这里，数据信道的重复级别具体可以指数据信道的重复次数。
本实施例可以根据PDSCH的重复级别或重复次数与HARQ进程号的对应关系，确定HARQ进程号。
应理解，本实施例是以PDSCH为例进行说明，本发明的实施例并不限于此，也可以根据其它信道或信息的重复级别或重复次数与HARQ进程号的对应关系来确定HARQ进程号。例如，重复传输的信道可以是PUSCH、PUCCH、PDCCH、MPDCCH等，只要这些信道的重复级别具有类似的特点。
在覆盖增强下，控制信道或数据信道都可能需要重复传输。例如，在DCI指示中采用2比特指示PDSCH的重复次数。
PDSCH的重复级别(DCI Format 6-1A)
Figure PCTCN2016101169-appb-000003
本实施例通过对信道或信息的重复次数或重复级别与HARQ进程号的组合的一些限制，可以指示更多的HARQ进程号。通常，UE只有在不进行重复传输的时候才有可能使用所有的HARQ进程。若某个HARQ进程关联的PDSCH需要进行重复传输，则UE实际用的进程数小于支持的最大进程 数目。因此，重复和支持最大的HARQ进程数是相互矛盾的。Rel-13FDD或HD-FDD UE支持最多8个HARQ进程，假设新的UE需要增加HARQ进程。例如，新的UE支持最大M个HARQ进程，这里M大于8。如果基站允许UE使用超过8个HARQ进程，可以认为UE的无线环境是好的，因此UE应该不需要重复。如果UE需要重复传输信道，则UE通常不会使用所有的HARQ进程。因此，可以限制某些重复次数和HARQ进程的对应关系，通过这些对应关系来指示HARQ进程号。这样无需额外的比特开销，优化资源利用。
下面以UE可以支持最大10个HARQ进程为例进行说明。常规PDSCH有4个重复级别，即n1、n2、n3和n4。DCI包括2比特的字段用来指示PDSCH的重复级别。例如，00对应于n1，01对应于n2，10对应于n3，11对应于n4。在Rel-13中，每个FDD或HD-FDD UE可以支持最大8个HARQ进程，并且每个HARQ进程与PDSCH的重复级别没有约束关系。即，任何一个HARQ进程都可能对应n1,n2,n3,n4中的一个重复级别。在Rel-14中，每个FDD或HD-FDD UE可以支持最大10个HARQ进程，因此，可以按照本实施例的方法对某些HARQ进程所关联的PDSCH的重复级别进行一些约束。这样，可以根据PDSCH的重复级别和DCI中HARQ进程编号字段的3比特状态来确定具体的HARQ进程号。
如表5所示，假设n1～n3(即n1、n2、n3)可以对应于HARQ进程0～7中的任何一个HARQ进程。而n4可以对应于HARQ进程1～6中的任何一个HARQ进程，并且DCI中HARQ进程编号字段的3比特状态为001～110。
如果DCI指示PDSCH的重复级别是n4(或DCI中指示PDSCH的重复级别的2个比特状态对应的是指示n4的比特状态)，且DCI中HARQ进程编号字段的3比特状态为000(或111)，则基站为UE指示的HARQ进程是8。如果DCI指示PDSCH的重复级别是n4(或DCI中指示PDSCH的重复级别的2个比特状态对应的是指示n4的比特状态)，且DCI中HARQ进程编号字段的3比特状态为111(或000),则基站为UE指示的HARQ进程是9。需要说明的是，当HARQ进程号是8或9时，只是借用了指示n4的比特状态，HARQ进程8或9关联的PDSCH的实际重复级别并不是n4。因此，可以规定HARQ进程8或9关联的PDSCH没有重复传输，或者，HARQ进程8或9关联的PDSCH的实际重复级别的值等于1。
表5:HARQ进程号的映射或指示

当然，上述指示HARQ进程号的方法只是举例。可以灵活规定重复级别和HARQ进程号之间的绑定关系，进而根据这种绑定关系和3比特的HARQ进程来确定实际的HARQ进程号。例如，下表给出了另一种根据重复级别和3比特的HARQ进程来确定实际的HARQ进程号的方法。
Figure PCTCN2016101169-appb-000005
当然也可以根据控制信道的重复级别和3比特的HARQ进程编号字段来确定实际的HARQ进程号,其方法类似于上述表格，这里不再赘述。
需要说明的是，在应用本实施例方法时，还可以固定DCI中的跳频标记 字段的比特状态，以降低虚警概率。例如，当基站指示的HARQ进程号是8或9时，可以将DCI中的跳频标记字段的比特状态固定为0。

根据本发明的实施例，可以通过常规HARQ进程编号字段和其它指示信息联合指示HARQ进程号，从而能够在不引入新的DCI格式的情况下使得UE支持的最大HARQ进程数目大于常规HARQ进程编号字段所能指示的HARQ进程数目。
另外，由于采用新的格式会降低控制信道传输的灵活性和增加控制信道传输的资源开销，因此，本发明的实施例通过避免引入新的DCI格式来指示更多的HARQ进程号，能够节省资源开销，提高资源指示的灵活性。
