Abstract
Description
第1の態様では、データチャネル(データ)の割当て位置に関する情報の通知方法について説明する。なお、データの割当て位置に関する情報は、時間方向における割当ての開始位置(starting position)及び終了位置(ending position)の少なくとも一つの情報を含んでいればよい。
時間方向におけるデータの割当て位置は、動的(dynamic)に変更してもよいし、準静的(semi-static)に変更してもよい。データの割当て位置を動的に変更する場合、無線基地局は、下り制御情報を用いてデータの割当て位置に関する情報をユーザ端末に通知する。下り制御情報(DCI)は、当該データをスケジューリングする下り制御情報、及び/又は各ユーザ端末又は所定ユーザ端末グループに共通に通知される共通制御情報とすることができる。データの割当て開始位置を準静的に変更する場合、無線基地局は、上位レイヤシグナリング(例えば、RRCシグナリング、報知情報等)を用いてデータの割当て位置に関する情報をユーザ端末に通知する。
ユーザ端末にデータ割当て位置を通知する場合、データ割当て位置に関する情報が規定されたテーブルを利用してもよい。図5は、2ビットのビットフィールドを構成する各ビット情報に対してデータの割当て位置を関連付けて定義したテーブルの一例を示している。図5Aは、DLデータの割当て位置を定義したテーブルの一例を示し、図5Bは、ULデータの割当て位置を定義したテーブルの一例を示している。なお、ビットフィールドに設定するビットは2ビットに限られず、1ビット又は3ビット以上であってもよい。また、図5では、データの割当て開始位置と終了位置を規定しているが、いずれか一方のみ規定してもよい。
第2の態様では、データ送信と、当該データの再送に異なるスロット構成を適用する場合について説明する。スロット構成が異なるとは、データの割当て領域(例えば、シンボル数)等が異なる場合を言う。なお、以下で説明する構成は、ULデータとDLデータの再送にそれぞれ利用することができる。
一方で、データの再送に利用するスロットを制限する場合、再送のタイミングを柔軟に設定できないおそれがある。例えば、制御チャネルが設定されないスロットを利用してデータを送信した場合、再送に利用するスロットも制御チャネルが設定されないスロットを利用することが必要となる。この場合、制御チャネルが配置されないスロットが設定されるまで再送を行わないように制御することが考えられるが、再送タイミングが遅延するおそれがある。一方で、あるユーザ端末の再送を行うために制御チャネルが設定されないスロットを所定タイミングで設定するように制御することが考えられるが、他のユーザ端末(例えば、制御チャネルの送受信を行う端末)の通信に影響が生じるおそれがある。
再送データ(例えば、1TB)の送信に利用するスロット数(M個)を、再送前のデータ送信に利用するスロット数(N個)より多くする場合、1TBに対して符号化処理等を行ってもよいし、1TBを分割して符号化処理等を行ってもよい。
また、本実施の形態の他の態様として、再送前のデータ送信に利用する所定時間単位(例えば、スロット)数と異なるレイヤ数を利用して、データ(例えば、1TB)の再送を行うことを許容する。例えば、1レイヤで初回データ送信(又は、再送前のデータ送信)を行う場合に、複数のレイヤ(例えば、2レイヤ)を利用したデータの再送を許容する。
再送データ(例えば、1TB)の送信に利用するレイヤ数(Q個)を、再送前のデータ送信に利用するレイヤ数(P個)より多くする場合、1TBに対して符号化処理等を行ってもよいし、1TBを分割して符号化処理等を行ってもよい。
以下、本発明の一実施形態に係る無線通信システムの構成について説明する。この無線通信システムでは、本発明の上記各実施形態に係る無線通信方法のいずれか又はこれらの組み合わせを用いて通信が行われる。

なお、上記実施形態の説明に用いたブロック図は、機能単位のブロックを示している。これらの機能ブロック(構成部)は、ハードウェア及び/又はソフトウェアの任意の組み合わせによって実現される。また、各機能ブロックの実現手段は特に限定されない。すなわち、各機能ブロックは、物理的及び/又は論理的に結合した1つの装置により実現されてもよいし、物理的及び/又は論理的に分離した2つ以上の装置を直接的及び/又は間接的に(例えば、有線及び/又は無線)で接続し、これら複数の装置により実現されてもよい。
なお、本明細書で説明した用語及び/又は本明細書の理解に必要な用語については、同一の又は類似する意味を有する用語と置き換えてもよい。例えば、チャネル及び/又はシンボルは信号(シグナリング)であってもよい。また、信号はメッセージであってもよい。参照信号は、RS(Reference Signal)と略称することもでき、適用される標準によってパイロット(Pilot)、パイロット信号などと呼ばれてもよい。また、コンポーネントキャリア(CC:Component Carrier)は、セル、周波数キャリア、キャリア周波数などと呼ばれてもよい。
