Abstract
Description
図1は、本実施形態に係る無線通信システム10の全体概略構成図である。無線通信システム10は、5G New Radio(NR)に従った無線通信システムであり、複数の無線通信ノード及び端末によって構成される。なお、無線通信システム10は、Beyond 5G、5G Evolution或いは6Gと呼ばれる方式に従った無線通信システムでもよい。
次に、無線通信システム10の機能ブロック構成について説明する。具体的には、IABノードを構成する無線通信ノード100A, 100B, 100Cの機能ブロック構成について説明する。
以下にいて、準静的(Semi-static)なDUリソースのタイプ(Hard、Soft、NA)に関する設定について説明する。
上述した背景下において、実施形態では、動的なDUリソースの指定について主として説明する。動的なDUリソースの指定は、DUリソースとして使用可能であることを示す情報要素(例えば、IA/INA)によって実行される。
第1例では、周波数方向においてDUリソースとして使用可能であることを示す情報要素(IA/INA)を含むDCIとして、新たなDCIが定義されるケースについて例示する。新たに定義されるDCIのフォーマットは新たに定義されるDCIフォーマットであってもよい。
1…DL soft symbolが使用可能であり、UL及びFlexible soft symbolについてindicationがない
2…UL soft symbolが使用可能であり、DL及びFlexible soft symbolについてindicationがない
3…DL及びUL soft symbolが使用可能であり、Flexible soft symbolについてindicationがない
4…Flexible soft symbolが使用可能であり、DL及びUL soft symbolについてindicationがない
5…DL及びFlexible soft symbolが使用可能であり、ULについてindicationがない
6…UL及びFlexible soft symbolが使用可能であり、DLについてindicationがない
7…DL、UL及びFlexible soft symbolが使用可能である
なお、Flexible soft symbolは、DL及びULのいずれにも使用可能なsoft symbolである。
第2例では、周波数方向においてDUリソースとして使用可能であることを示す情報要素(IA/INA)を含むDCIとして、時間方向においてDUリソースとして使用可能であることを示す情報要素(IA/INA)を含むDCI(例えば、DCI format 2_5)が拡張されるケースについて例示する。
第3例では、周波数方向においてDUリソースとして使用可能であることを示す情報要素(IA/INA)を含むDCIとして、新たなDCIが定義されるケースについて例示する。新たに定義されるDCIのフォーマットは新たに定義されるDCIフォーマットであってもよい。
第3例では、周波数方向においてDUリソースとして使用可能であることを示す情報要素(IA/INA)を含むDCIとして、時間方向においてDUリソースとして使用可能であることを示す情報要素(IA/INA)を含むDCI(例えば、DCI format 2_5)が拡張されるケースについて例示する。このようなケースにおいて、新たに定義されるsoft time-frequency symbol用のTF_resourceAvailabilityは、RRCメッセージによって設定されてもよい。マッピングの設定方法としては、以下に示すオプションが考えられる。
上述した実施形態によれば、以下の作用効果が得られる。具体的には、IABノード(例えば、無線通信ノード100B)は、下位ノード(例えば、無線通信ノード100C)との無線リンク(Link_child)に割り当てる無線リソース(DUリソース)として、周波数方向において使用可能な周波数リソースを指定する下りリンク制御情報(DCI)を受信する。IABノードは、DCIに基づいて、無線リンク(Link_child)を用いた通信を動的に制御する。このような構成によれば、DUリソースとして使用可能な周波数方向における周波数リソースを動的に用いることができる。
以上、実施形態について説明したが、当該実施形態の記載に限定されるものではなく、種々の変形及び改良が可能であることは、当業者には自明である。
無線フレームは時間領域において1つ又は複数のフレームによって構成されてもよい。時間領域において1つ又は複数の各フレームはサブフレームと呼ばれてもよい。サブフレームはさらに時間領域において1つ又は複数のスロットによって構成されてもよい。サブフレームは、ニューメロロジー(numerology)に依存しない固定の時間長(例えば、1ms)であってもよい。
