Multi-carrier operation in data transmission systems

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: procedures for adding carriers and carrier acquisition are simplified through common carrier timing, signalling by the network to the user equipment (UE) of timing offsets and scrambling code selection, and other measures. Channel reuse is employed to minimise changes in asymmetric systems with different numbers of uplink and downlink carriers. The channel quality indicator (CQI) field is divided into multiple subfields to enable transmission of multiple CQIs and ACK/NACK indicators on one uplink carrier. Joint and separate scheduling schemes are shown for concurrent scheduling of a data stream transmission to UE via multiple downlink carriers.

EFFECT: number of common downlink channels, such as timing, synchronisation and paging channels, is reduced by designating a reference carrier for transmitting these channels.

The LEVEL of TECHNOLOGY

The technical field

The present invention generally relates to telecommunication, and more specifically to communication on many of bearing and with numerous cells, in wireless systems.

The level of technology

Modern communication systems are assumed to provide reliable data for a variety of applications, such as voice and data applications. In the context of multipoint connections known communication system based on multiple access frequency division multiple access (FDMA),multiple access with time division multiplexing (TDMA), multiple access code division multiple access (CDMA) and maybe other schemes due to multiple access.

A CDMA system may be designed to support one or more CDMA standards such as (1) the "TIA/EIA-95 Mobile Station-Base Station Compatibility Standard for Dual-Mode Wideband Spread Spectrum Cellular System" (the"Standard compatibility mobile station - base station for dual mode wideband cellular systems with spread spectrum TIA/EIA-95") (this standard together with their extended revised versions A and B will be indicated by reference as the standard IS-95"); (2) the "TIA/EIA-98-C Recommended Minimum Standard for Dual-Mode Wideband Spread Spectrum Cellular Mobile Station" ("Recommended minimum standard for dual mode wideband cellular mobile station spread spectrum TIA/EIA-98-C") ("the standard IS-98"); (3) the standard offered by a consortium named "partnership Project 3rd generation (3GPP)and embodied in a set of documents, including documents on 3G TS 25.211, 3G TS 25.212, 3G TS 25.213, and 3G TS 25.214 (the W-CDMA"); (4) the standard offered by a consortium named "partnership Project 2 3rd generation" (3GPP2)and embodied in a set of documents, including "TR-45.5 Physical Layer Standard for cdma2000 Spread Spectrum Systems" (the"Standard physical layer for systems with spread spectrum cdma2000 TR-45.5"), "C.S0005-A Upper Layer (Layer 3) Signaling Standard for cdma2000 Spread Spectrum Systems" (the"Standard alarm upper level is (level 3) for systems with spread spectrum cdma2000 C.S0005-A") and "TIA/EIA/IS-856 cdma2000 High Rate Packet Data Air Interface Specification" (the"Technical requirements of high-speed radio interface cdma2000 packet data TIA/EIA/IS-856") (collectively, the "cdma2000"); (5) 1xEV-DO (high-speed system exchanging packet data CDMA); and (6) some other standards. The standards listed above, included by reference, as if fully set forth in the materials of this application, including attachments, addenda and other attachments.

Communication systems on many of bearing are developed to meet the ever growing demand for wireless services and, in particular, in information services. A communication system for many load-bearing system is enabled to pass the information on two or more carrier frequencies. It should be noted that the support system with many carriers can exist in both compounds, downlink and uplink communication; alternatively, a system with many carriers can have the support of many bearing only in the ascending line or only in the downlink. "Downward link" refers to the direct direction of information transmission, i.e. transmission from the radio network to the user equipment ("UE"), such as cellular phone, PDA (personal digital assistant) or a computer. "Upward communication" means the transmission of information in the reverse direction, i.e. from the UE to the radio network.

It is important that the number of bearing a direct line of communication may differ is Atisa from the number of carriers return line communication system with many carriers. For example, the number of carriers (N) downlink may exceed the number of bearing (M) downlink, i.e., N>M. inverse relationship is also possible, though less likely, with the number of bearing ascending line, exceeding the number of bearing downlink, that is, M>N. of Course, the number of carriers uplink communication and downlink can be the same in the system with many carriers, i.e., N=M. As noted in the immediately preceding paragraph, N or M can be 1 in the system with many carriers.

When the number of bearing the ascending line of communication is equal to the number of supporting downlink (N=M) in the system with many carriers carrying uplink communication and downlink can be paired in a manner similar to that of a system with a single carrier, that is, each carrier ascending/descending line can be paired with corresponding bearing descending/ascending line. For two coaxial bearing additional service (i.e. no payload or control information for carrying downlink steam is transferred by the carrier uplink communication, and the additional service information carrier for uplink communication is transferred by the carrier downlink. When the number n of the existing uplink communication is not the same as the number of carriers (N≠M) downlink, one or more unpaired" bearing may be due to either downlink or uplink communication. In such asymmetric communication systems on many carrier signal must be adapted so that additional service information to be transmitted for unpaired carriers.

When upgrading a previously deployed communication systems it is desirable to maintain backward compatibility with legacy equipment. For example, it would be desirable to maintain compatibility with existing cell phones when upgrading the radio. Moreover, changes in previously deployed communication systems should preferably be introduced through software upgrades along with minimizing the need to change hardware. These comments are saved equally fair when upgrading wireless communication system with support for one carrier on many carriers.

Therefore, in the art there is a need for methods and devices that preserve backward compatibility of the user equipment and reduce the need to change hardware when adding support many of bearing in the communication system on a single carrier. In particular, in this technical field e is th a need for methods and devices which provide an alarm for unpaired bearing in systems with many carriers, while maintaining compatibility with custom equipment designed to work on one carrier, and along with a reduction in the need to change hardware in the radio network.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In this document, the words "an implementation option", "option" and similar expressions used which are to specify a reference to a specific device, the sequence of operations or product, and not necessarily one and the same device, the sequence of operations or product. Thus, one of the variants of implementation" (or similar terms)used in one place or context, can refer to a specific device, the sequence of operations or product; the same or a similar expression in a different location can be specified by reference to other device, the sequence of operations or product. The expression "an alternative implementation of" and similar phrases are used to specify one or a great number of possible variants of implementation. A number of possible embodiments are not necessarily limited to two or any other number.

The word "approximate" is used in the materials of the present application, to mean "serving as an example, an incident or illustration". Any variant of implementation, described in the materials of the present application as "exemplary"is not necessarily be construed as preferred or predominant over the other variants of implementation. All of the embodiments described in this description are exemplary embodiments of the implementation provided to give the specialists in this field of technology the ability to make or what to use the invention, and not to limit the scope of legal protection provided by the invention, which is defined by the claims and its equivalents.

The subscriber station in the materials of the present application, indicated by reference as "user equipment"and "UE" or "the device of the user equipment may be mobile or stationary, and may communicate with one or more base transceiver stations. The device of the user equipment may be any of a number of types of devices, including, but not as a limitation, the cost of the PC (personal computer PC), external or internal modem, wireless telephone and personal digital Secretary (PDAs) with wireless communication. The user equipment transmits and receives data packets to or from a radio network controller (base station) via one or more base transceiver stations.

Base transceiver stations and base station controllers are part of a network called "network", "RN", "network access" or "AN". The base station controller can also specify the link as a radio network controller or RNC". The radio network may be a UTRAN or terrestrial radio access network UMTS (universal mobile telecommunications system). The radio network can realize transportirovaka data between multiple devices of the user equipment. The radio network can also be connected to additional networks outside the radio network such as a corporate intranet (local network, built on the principles of the Internet), the Internet or traditional, circuit-switched public telephone network ("PSTN"), and may transport data packets between each device of the user equipment and external networks.

In the wireless communication system on a single carrier bearing uplink communication and downlink paired. This means that (management) information signaling and the temporal reference carrier for uplink communication is transmitted on the carrier downlink, and Vice versa. In a symmetric system with many carriers when the number of bearing (M) upward communication, equal to the number of carriers (N) downlink carrying uplink communication and downlink can be paired in this way. In other words, each carrier ascending/descending line can be paired with corresponding bearing descending/ascending line. "Steam carrier," therefore, is the carrier frequency, for which there is a corresponding associative associated carrier in the opposite direction. Therefore, steam carrier downlink is associative with the provided carrier uplink communication; steam carrier uplink communication is associative associated carrier downlink. The ratio of the temporal reference (physical) channel PHY and control data for the paired bearing in variants of the implementation of the system with many carriers described in this document, in General, are the same as those for currently defined systems with one carrier.

"Unpaired carrier" is a carrier that is not a steam carrier. Typically unpaired carriers appear in the result, when a system with many carriers is asymmetrical, i.e. the number of bearing downlink is not equal to the carrying amount of the upward communication line (N≠M).

"Anchor carrier" is usually the carrier, which incorporates full support release 99 3GPP within a cell, such as the transfer channels SCH (channel synchronization), P-CCPCH (primary common physical control channel) and S-CCPCH (secondary common physical control channel), and the service receiving the random access of the UE through a PRACH (physical random access channel). The reference carrier carries at least a temporal reference (SCH) cell, in which it is established. The concept of the reference carrier will become better understood from the following description.

The expression "cold entry in the sync is ZM" and similar phrases shall mean occurrence in synchronism with the system user equipment. For example, the UE device may perform a hot-occurrences in synchronism, when it is subjected to power within a cell, or when it is in the area served hundredth, capturing only the anchor carrier in a cell or one of several anchor carrier in a cell.

The expression "hot entry in synchronism" and similar phrases mean adding supporting downlink in a cell with many carriers.

"Common channel" is a channel that is not allocated to a specific terminal; a common channel can broadcast to be transmitted in downlink on multiple devices of the user equipment within a cell. The channel does not change its General essence only because he accepted only one terminal, or even if it is not accepted by any terminal. "Dedicated channel" is a channel dedicated to a specific terminal.

"Update data" variable is a measure of the change in the variable from one measurement period (e.g., time interval) to the next measuring period.

A pair of receiver/transmitter of each base station is configured with processor running the control program, to establish forward and reverse lines of communication with the UE 130, for Cohocton to send data packets to and receive packets of data from the UE 130. If, for example, information services base transceiver station 120/125 accept data packets straight line connection from the network 170 packet through the node 180 service packet data through the controller 110 of the radio network, and transmits these packets to the UE 130. Base transceiver station 120/125 accept data packets of the reverse link, which originate from the UE 130, and transmit these packets to the network 170 packet switched by the controller 110 of the radio network and node 180 service packet data. In the case of telephone service base transceiver station 120/125 accept data packets straight line from the telephone network 150 through the telephone switch 160 and through the controller 110 of the radio network and transmit these packets to the UE 130. Bearing the speech packets that occur on the UE 130 is received by base transceiver stations 120/125 and forwarded to the telephone network 150 via the controller 110 of the radio and the telephone switch 160.

The controller 110 of the radio network includes one or more interfaces 111 to the base transceiver stations 120/125, the interface 112 to the node 180 service packet data, and an interface 113 to the telephone switch 160. The interfaces 111, 112 and 113 are running one or more processors 114, executing a control program stored in one or more devices 115 memory.

As proillyustriroval what about the figure 1, the network 100 includes one public switched telephone network (PSTN), a single network packet, one base station controller, three transceiver and one device of the user equipment. Specialist in the art would recognize after perusal of this document that alternative implementation, in accordance with aspects of the invention, are not required to be limited to any particular number of these components. For example, more or fewer base transceiver stations and user equipment devices may be included in some versions of the implementation. Furthermore, the network 100 may be attached device 130 of the user equipment to one or more communication networks, for example, the second wireless communication network containing a number of wireless user equipment devices.

It should be clear that the data and some or all of the additional service information may be transmitted to and from the UE 130 simultaneously on multiple carriers. Moreover, the data and the additional service information may be transmitted to and from the UE 130 for carrying out different sites, which can belong to one and the same communication node or different nodes.

In the wireless part of the CE and 100 connection work on many bearing derives from the condition, to some carriers were paired, while others were unpaired. A pair of bearing include (1) bearing 141A and 142A, (2) bearing 141B and 142B, (3) bearing 143 and 144A, (4) bearing 145A and 146A, and (5) bearing 145B and 146B. Unpaired carriers are 141C in downlink and 144B in the ascending line.

In accordance with the technical requirements of TS 3GPP 25.213, "Spreading and Modulation (FDD)" ("Coding extension of the spectrum and modulation (FDD)"), advanced channel relative grant (E-rgch field") and extended channel indicator hybrid ARQ (automatic request for retransmission) ("E-HICH") are assigned to the UE 130, which uses the same a channelization code.

Work on many of bearing is configured so that the temporal reference of PHY channels for paired bearing is the same as such for a system with a single carrier. In other words, the temporal reference of all channels downlink based on a temporal reference basic common physical control channel (P-CCPCH) or synchronization channel ("SCH"), and the temporal reference of supporting uplink communication based on timing associated (paired) channels downlink. For a complete description of the temporal reference channels PHY interested reader should refer to the technical requirements of TS 3GPP 25.211, entitled "Physical chanels and mapping of transport channels onto physical channels (FDD)" ("Physical channels and mapping of transport channels into physical channels (FDD)"). For convenience, a summary temporal reference channels downlink and uplink communication are presented below, in tables 1 and 2 respectively.

In embodiments, the implementation of the reference clock signal within a cell is the total of all weight-bearing cells. Therefore, the reference signal temporal reference, i.e. the temporal reference P-CCPCH or SCH is the same for all carrier downlink in this cell. Moreover, as the synchronization timing for different satam Node B (node communication) entails little or no cost, and time-bound P-CCPCH or SCH is the same for all bearing in this communication, for example, in some embodiments, implementation, node 120 communication figure 1.

Synchronizing the temporal reference within the same Node B eliminates the need to transfer to the UE (e.g. the, UE 130) a number of common channels on numerous supporting downlink within a particular communication node. These channels include the following:

1. The primary and secondary synchronization channel (SCH), which provide UE 130 can perform the initial entry in synchronism with the system.

2. Basic common physical control channel (P-CCPCH), which carries the system information including a broadcast transport channel ("BCH").

3. More shared physical control channel (S-CCPCH), which carries the transport channels search call ("PCH") and direct access ("FACH"). It should be noted that to improve data transmission capability through additional FACH channels can be allocated to other carriers (i.e. carrier other than a carrier with S-CCPCH). Such channels may include a channel indicator search call or "PICH", if the S-CCPCH - bearing PCH is transmitted on a single carrier. Such channels may further include a channel indicator MBMS (multimedia broadcast/multicasting), or "MICH", if the S-CCPCH - bearing contents of MBMS is transmitted on a single carrier.

4. Dedicated physical channel data (DPDCH"). (This is because it is assumed that the UE should use a single carrier for regular DPDCH transmission; transmission of many chosen to replace the x can be restricted to advanced dedicated channel or "E-DCH").

After joining in synchronism with the system UE (for example, UE 130 may take access to the system using a single carrier. The selection of the carrier may be limited to a specific carrier, for example, carrier, coupled with the supporting carrier on which the UE was in synchronism with the system. As an alternative, the UE may attempt to access the system using a different carrier supported by the UE. The UE may wait for the reception of the corresponding channel indicator access ("AICH") of the carrier used for transmitting a physical random access channel "PRACH").

In some embodiments, the implementation of some or all of the common (Unallocated) channels within a cell is transmitted on the downlink only on the anchor carrier(s) within a cell; other (unsampled) carriers do not carry these channels. For example, a temporal reference and/or retrieval of the call can be transferred only on the anchor carrier.

Characterization and use of the carrier as an anchor carrier are usually prostacycline by nature, since they do not change dynamically from frame to frame. Rather, they demonstrate the temporal stability of the within order of hundreds of milliseconds or even minutes, or longer. Specific anchor carrier may also be a constant characteristic of the cell.

The radio network may encourage UE Perek uchatsa with one anchor carrier to another. For example, the alarm message can be transmitted to a UE, so as to force the UE to enter in synchronism with the system of reference to another carrier. The original sample carrier, in this case, it may be a reference carrier, to turn into unsampled carrier or discarded.

When the carrier downlink is added to the network in the cell, the network may notify the device UE within a cell about adding a new carrier downlink. The new carrier may have the same temporal reference as one of the existing carriers (for example, the anchor carrier), or to have a known offset the temporary binding is relative to the existing carrier. If the offset timing is known, the transceiver can specify the offset of the UE on the existing channel in order to facilitate synchronization of the UE according to a new carrier. The transceiver may also be signaled to the UE, the existing channel-specific scrambling code used on the new carrier or to indicate the UE that the scrambling code of the new carrier is the same as the scrambling code used on one of the other carriers. If the new channel is the reference channel, the transceiver sends an appropriate signal to the UE so that the UE has switched to the new anchor carrier after the capture of the new anchor carrier.

When UE captures a new bearing (si is chronozones with it), The UE may signal this event to the transceiver. For example, the UE can transmit the alarm to the transceiver channel flow or using an existing channel/field, such as field CQI (quality indicator channel) or field ACK/NAK (positive/negative acknowledgement). If a new carrier is an anchor carrier, the UE switches and ustalyuyetsya on this new anchor carrier, taking its timing, search calls and other system information channels downlink of the new anchor carrier.

When the carrier uplink connection is added to the UE, the network may need to specify UE that the transceiver is synchronized according to a new carrier uplink communication. Thus, you may need a new channel downlink for transmission of such instructions. In some embodiments, the implementation of the multiples of the number of channels E-HIGH in downlink are defined and allocated to the same UE for this purpose.

Next, focusing on channels with many carriers to work on the downlink, information channels payload for data delivery (which are usually non-speech data) to the UE are high-speed physical shared channel downlink (HS-PDSCH"). Support channels includes you okasarete shared control channel (HS-SCCH"), fragmentary dedicated physical channel(F-)DPCH or F-DPCH), which is an abbreviation for DPCH, which contains only information power control), E-HICH, E-rgch field and advanced channel absolute grant (E-AGCH").

Usually required N high-speed shared control channels, one-on-carrier downlink. As for fragmented dedicated physical channels, M such channels, it may be necessary to provide power control uplink communication for M carrying uplink communication. Similarly M extended channels indicator hybrid ARQ may be necessary for acknowledgement ("ACK") and negative Acknowledgments ("NAK") for each of the enhanced dedicated physical channel (E-DPCH) on each of the M carrier uplink communication. Moreover, M extended channels relative provision may be required for each of the E-DPCH.

The message of the absolute grant to the UE on many frequencies at M carrying uplink communication may be transmitted over M independent channels PHY AGCH (on the same or different carrier), or these messages may be transmitted over a single channel PHY specific carrier downlink. For this purpose, the temporary identifier radio E-DCH (E-RNTI) can make the concept of the carrier, to the ome concepts UE, adding this extra dimension to the message and giving him the opportunity to be transmitted on a single carrier without losing the support of many carriers. Thus, the UE can have more than one associative E-RNTI, for example one for each carrier uplink communications where UE given the opportunity to transfer. For the extended channel(s) absolute grant, so either 1 or M such channels may be necessary, respectively, depending on whether each absolute provision UE completely (in the aggregate) to all E-DPCH on all bearing the ascending line, or separately for each E-DPCH carrier uplink connection.

When the carrying amount of the upward communication line is equal to the number of supporting downlink (N=M), each carrying downlink is associatively related (steam room) carrying uplink communication, and Vice versa. Procedures PHY for this case (e.g., associated with power control, synchronization, HS-DSCH and E-DCH procedures) do not differ from the respective procedures in the case of a single carrier. In sauté 125A of figure 1, for example, each channel downlink, which supports carrier uplink communication can be transmitted on the carrier downlink, coupled with a competitive price is to maintain the carrier uplink communication. Thus, the carrier 145A downlink can support carrier 146A uplink communication, while supporting 145B downlink can support carrier 146B uplink communication. Therefore, in this case, may not be compulsory to allocate carrier downlink channels support in addition to those already defined for the case of a single carrier.

Similarly, when the number of supporting downlink exceeds the carrying amount of the upward communication line (N>M), each carrying uplink communication is associatively related (steam room) carrier downlink. Paired carrier downlink will serve as communication tools to support (F-)DPCH, E-HICH/E-rgch field and the E-AGCH (in the case of M channels AGCH) with (N-M) bearing unpaired downlink carrying HS-PDSCH and associative associated HS-SCCH. In sauté 120A of figure 1, for example, the support channels downlink for a specific channel uplink communication may be present on the carrier downlink, paired with a particular channel uplink communication. Thus, the carrier 141A downlink can support carrier 142A uplink communication, while supporting 141B downlink can support bearing 12B upward communication. In this asymmetric case, it may be necessary to allocate carrier downlink channels support in addition to those already defined for the case of a single carrier.

Note that in the case of N>M the temporal reference channels HS-PDSCH and HS-SCCH in (N-M) bearing unpaired downlink quite uncertain, for a downlink temporal reference all changes to the PHY is based on the nominal temporal reference P-CCPCH or SCH anchor carrier. Thus, the temporal reference of the channels in the case of (N-M) is defined, observed when a constraint temporal reference, discussed above (the common time reference for carrying downlink).

When the number of supporting downlink is less than the carrying amount of the upward communication line (N<M), there are (M-N) bearing unpaired uplink communication. Therefore, (M-N) additional (F-)DPCH may need to be allocated within the N carrier downlink; if an absolute grant is transmitted based on each carrier, then (M-N) additional E-AGCH may also be necessary to distinguish N carrying downlink. Moreover, (N<M)×2 additional features may be required for E-HICH and E-rgch field on bearing unpaired uplink communication. In sauté 120B of figure 1, for example, one of the supporting ascending is her line, for example, 144B is unpaired. It follows that in this asymmetric case, the support channels for carrier 144B uplink connection cannot be allocated to the respective steam carrier downlink in the usual manner, and are required to be allocated on one or more of the existing support downlink. For example, the support channels for carrier 144B uplink communication can be allocated on the carrier 143 downlink (which is paired with a carrier 144A ascending line).

(M-N) sets of additional channels ((F-)DPCH, E-HICH/E-rgch field and optional E-AGCH) are related to the transmission of E-DCH in uplink communication. Therefore, cells in the set of active E-DCH each carrier specific UE can transmit on UE feedback information about supporting E-DCH and the TPC command (power transmission) return line connection. For sites belonging to the same Node B, the transmission of these channels may occur on the same bearing. For reasons of implementation may also be useful to carriers for transmission of these channels were the same for different Nodes B. the Indicator hybrid ARQ, which is transmitted on the reverse link, in essence, is the channel ACK/NAK for uplink communication. Additional E-HIGH can be defined on one or more carrier downlink, each b is duci time-shifted for a certain predefined period of time (i.e. number of characters psevdochumoy sequence scrambling code). For example, additional E-HIGH can be offset from each other on an equal period of time.

The temporal reference E-HICH is indirectly dependent on the temporal reference associatively related (F-)DPCH. See tables 1 and 2 above. The temporal reference E-rgch field for the serving cell coincides with the time constraint E-HICH, and therefore is also dependent on the (F-)DPCH. The temporal reference E-rgch field of posluzhivshij cells, as well as the temporal reference channel (E-AGCH is absolute relative to the nominal temporal reference (2 intervals after). In addition, as noted earlier, the E-AGCH may be transmitted on a single carrier. Therefore, (M-N) additional (F-)DPCH (over N such that the corresponding pair bearing) will have a specific temporal reference that is a multiple of 256 characters psevdochumoy sequence, which will be side reference signal for E-HICH and E-rgch field of the serving cell. Thus, the temporal reference of the support channels in the case of (N-M) is defined, observed when a constraint temporal reference, discussed above (the common time reference for carrying downlink).

Note that many F-DPCH on a given carrier can be orthogonal to multiplicious with the division of time within the same networking code by IP is the use of different offsets temporal reference, for example, displacements of the temporary binding to multiple values 256 characters psevdochumoy sequence. Therefore, in some embodiments, the implementation of additional F-DPCH multiplexed on the time within a set of supporting downlink. In certain alternative embodiments, the implementation of different canalobre codes are used for additional F-DPCH with time constraint, which is the same or different than that of the pair of F-DPCH, for example, F-DPCH support bearing.

As the multiplexing method time division within the same networking code is possible with the allocation of F-DPCH, this type of allocation may be preferable to allocate DPCH.

Next, referring to the channels on many bearing to work in a straight line, the data payload is delivered from the UE to the base transceiver station via the enhanced dedicated physical data channels (E-DPDCH"). Can usually be M such channels, one for the reference signal uplink communication. Supporting channels downlink may include a dedicated physical control channels ("DPCCH"), the enhanced dedicated physical control channels (E-DPCCH) and a high speed dedicated physical control channels (HS-DPCCH"). Usually there are M DPCCH, as one such channel on nessu the uplink communication is transmitted during all periods of time. Also there is usually a M E-DPCCH, each one is sent when the active associative E-DPDCH. In conclusion, N HS-DPCCH are typically used to provide information ACK/NACK and CQI for each of the N carrier downlink.

When the carrying amount of the upward communication line is equal to the number of supporting downlink (N=M), each carrying uplink communication is associatively related (steam room) carrier downlink, and Vice versa. Procedures PHY for this case (e.g., associated with power control, synchronization, HS-DSCH and E-DCH procedures) do not differ from the respective procedures in the case of a single carrier. In sauté 125B of figure 1, for example, each channel uplink communication, which supports carrier downlink, can be transmitted on the carrier uplink communication, coupled with a specific carrier downlink. Thus, the carrier 146A uplink connection can support carrier 145A downlink, while carrying 146B uplink connection can support carrier 145B downlink. Therefore, in this case, may not be compulsory to allocate carrier uplink communication channels support in addition to those already defined for the case of a single carrier.

Similarly, when if estvo bearing ascending line exceeds the number of bearing downlink (M> N), each carrying downlink is associatively related (steam room) carrying uplink communication. Paired carrier uplink communication serve as communication tools for HS-DCCH and TPC commands for N carrier downlink. In sauté 120B of figure 1, for example, the support channels uplink communication for a specific carrier downlink may be present on the carrier uplink communication, coupled with a specific carrier downlink. Thus, the carrier 144A uplink connection can support bearing 143 downlink. In this asymmetric case, may not be compulsory to allocate carrier uplink communication channels support in addition to those already defined for the case of a single carrier.

In the case of M>N is (M-N) bearing unpaired uplink communication. Temporary assignment of channels in these unpaired carriers (temporal reference DPCCH and E-DPCCH) are completely determined, since it corresponds to (M-N) additional (F-)DPCH allocated within N carrying downlink. Note that for this case the temporal reference of each of the bearing unpaired uplink communication based on the carrier downlink with associatively related (F-)DPCH.

When the number of supporting downlink exceeds the number of bearing ascending the line, there are (N-M) bearing unpaired downlink in addition to the M pairs of supporting downlink. The temporal reference HS-DPCCH (N-M) bearing unpaired downlink based on timing associated HS-DPCH downlink, and therefore the temporal reference is quite defined.

In this asymmetric case (N>M) information CQI and ACK/NACK for (N-M) bearing unpaired downlink must be transmitted from the UE to the radio network.

Figure 2 summarizes the possible combinations of transmission channels for downlink and uplink communication for both serving and posluzhivshij, hundred, and for both, a steam room and a single bearing. Figure 2 serving cell for the HS-DSCH is the same as for E-DCH.

Next we describe some variants of the system/method that provide a UE (for example, UE 130) the ability to send information ACK/NAK for bearing unpaired downlink in a radio network (e.g., transceiver 120A) if (N>M).

In one embodiment, the feedback HSDPA (high speed packet access downlink) (such as channel ACK/NAK and CQI) (N-M) bearing unpaired downlink is transmitted to the appropriate transceiver through (N-M) additional multiplexed code division HS-DPCCH within M bearing ascending l the Institute of communication. This may necessitate some changes to the hardware in the modem Node B.

Additional multiplexed code division HS-DPCCH use additional canalobre codes within the carrier. Note that a system with a single carrier, certain technical requirements TS 25.213 3GPP specifies canalobre codes with SF (spreading factor range) 256 and quadrature phase (depending on the number of DPDCH)that should be used a single HS-DPCCH, which may be transmitted from the UE. Therefore this option applies canalobre codes and quadrature phase in addition to those already specified in the specifications TS 3GPP 25.213. Conceptual - additional HS-DPCCH is not necessarily different from the HS-DPCCH pair of bearing system with many carriers (such as system 100 shown in figure 1) or HS-DPCCH modern systems with a single carrier. The temporal reference of these additional channels can be linked to associative associated HS-PDSCH.

In order to limit the impact of the additional multiplexed code division channels on the ratio of the peak and the average capacity of the oscillating signal transmission, (N-M) additional HS-DPCCH can be distributed over M carrying uplink communication. For example, the additional HS-DPCCH can be distributed over M chosen to replace the ascending line, essentially, evenly.

In another embodiment, the frequency of messages CQI for each carrier downlink is reduced to transmit messages CQI for all bearing downlink within the available carrier(s) upward communication. Consider the case when M=1 and N=4. Field CQI on a single carrier uplink communications can be used for transmission in the radio network CQI for each of the four bearing downlink, one at a time. For example, in the time interval 1 UE transmits CQI[1], which indicates the quality of the channel of the first DL carrier. (The time interval is typically about 0,66 MS, as defined in the applicable standard CDMA). In the interval 2 (which immediately follows the interval 1) UE transmits CQI[2], which indicates the quality of the channel of the second carrier DL. In the interval 3 (immediately following interval 2) UE transmits CQI[3], which indicates the quality of the channel of the third carrier DL. In interval 4 (which immediately follows an interval of 3) UE transmits CQI[4], which indicates the quality of the channel of the fourth carrier DL. Then, the sequence is repeated. This way CQI for each of the four bearing downlink transmitted carrier uplink communication, albeit with low frequency.

Sequence 300 operations, usage is based on this method for N bearing DL and 1 UL carrier in the device of the user equipment, illustrated figa. At the point 301 of the sequence of operations of the UE is ready to start data transfer CQI for N carrier downlink on a single UL carrier. At step 304 UE sets the initial value of I, which is a counter bearing DL for CQI bearing UL. For example, I can be set equal to zero. At step 306 UE encodes, in the CQI field for the current time interval, the CQI value[I], which is the CQI for the I-th carrier DL. At step 308, the UE transmits during the current interval. At step 310 UE increments the counter I. At step 312 decision UE determines whether the transmitted CQI for each DL carrier during the current cycle. If I, for example, was set to zero at step 304, the UE may determine that it is satisfied whether I=N. If CQI for each DL carrier were not transmitted during the current cycle (e.g., I<N), the flow sequence of operations returns to step 306, and the above steps are repeated for the current, in that moment, time interval, which is the next time interval.

When step 312 decision indicates that the CQI for each DL carrier was transferred during the current cycle (e.g., I=N), the flow sequence of operations returns to step 304, and a new cycle begins, that is, the UE again sets the initial value of I and UE cycles through the transfer of all CQI.

When the available numerous bearing UL (but still fewer, than bearing DL), CQI for bearing DL can be assigned for transmission of each of the bearing UL. For example, N-bearing DL can be assigned to M bearing UL, so that each carrier shall be UL CQI for the same or approximately the same number of carriers DL. In case (M=2, N=4), for example, each UL carrier can carry CQI 2 bearing DL. In case (M=2, N=5), for example, one UL carrier can carry CQI 2 bearing DL, whereas the second UL carrier can carry CQI for 3 bearing DL. UE, in this case performs a sequence of operations, such as a sequence 300 of operations for each of the bearing UL, cyclically passing through CQI bearing DL, assigned to carrier UL.

In yet another embodiment, one CQI for multiple carrying DL at the same time multiplexed in the CQI field of the single UL carrier. In accordance with the existing technical requirements of single carrier CQI is platininum field, essentially providing a resolution of 1 dB in the required range. In variants of the implementation of the resolution CQI UE transmitted can be reduced to trenutnega values with the release of three additional bits within the same field CQI. Released bits can be used to send update increment for CQI another DL carrier. Update increment indicates increased or decreased CQI and how. Figv illustrates this approach. On the same figure full petabyte field 330 CQI converted into trenutno subfield 330' absolute coarse CQI for single carrier and subfield 330" CQI update increment for another carrier. As will be understood by a person skilled in the art after reading this disclosure is not required in any specific order subfields 330' and 330". This way is not required in any specific order of the bits in these subfields.

For example, in the case of (M=1, N=2), trehletniy coarse (low resolution) absolute CQI for the first DL carrier may be encoded in trenutno subfield field CQI UL carrier during the first time interval. CQI update increment for the second DL carrier may be encoded in the remaining dvuputnoy stitched part of the CQI field in the same time interval. In the second (immediately following) the time interval coarse absolute CQI for the second DL carrier may be encoded in trenutno subfield, whereas CQI update increment for the first DL carrier may be encoded in the remaining dvuhmestnoe subfield. Then the sequence of operations can be repeated.

Of course, CQI field may be split differently, for example, on chetyrehbalnoy subfield coarse absolute CQI and one-bit subfield CQI update increment. Moreover, different order of subfields and the bits within each sub-field also fall under the scope of this description.

According to yet another alternatively, the materials of the present application entitled "joint coding", circular about the od on all CQI low frequency combined with multiplexing CQI for multiple carrying DL in the CQI field of the single UL carrier. For example, in the case of (N=4, M=1) the sequence of operations can be developed, as shown in figs.

At step 340 CQI corresponding to the first and second bearing DL received for transmission within the first time interval. At step 342 CQI field in the UL carrier is encoded trehletnim coarse absolute CQI for a first carrier and Dubinin CQI update increment for the second carrier. At step 344 field CQI is transmitted on the UL carrier. At step 346 CQI corresponding to the third and fourth bearing DL received for transmission during the second time interval immediately following the first time interval. At step 348 field CQI is encoded trehletnim coarse absolute CQI for the third carrier and Dubinin CQI update increment for the fourth carrier. At step 350 field CQI is transmitted on the UL carrier. At step 352 CQI corresponding to the first and second bearing DL received for transfer during the third time interval immediately following the second time interval. At step 354 field CQI is encoded trehletnim coarse absolute CQI for the second carrier and Dubinin CQI update increment for the first carrier (note the full permutation encoding the first and second CQI). At step 356 field CQI is transmitted on the UL carrier. At step 358 CQI corresponding to the third and fourth bearing DL received for transfer during otwartego time interval, immediately following the second time interval. At step 360 box CQI is encoded trehletnim coarse absolute CQI for the fourth carrier and Dubinin CQI update increment for the third carrier (again note the full permutation encoding the third and fourth CQI). At step 362 field CQI is transmitted on the UL carrier.

Steps 340 through 362 are then repeated for subsequent time intervals. This way, the UE sends to the network CQI for all four bearing DL in the range of CQI single UL carrier.

In one of the variants of the one or more CQI is encoded in the bits of the feedback information (FBI) of the UL DPCCH. Bits FBI can wear coarse CQI, for example, dahbany CQI. Bits FBI can also be encoded CQI update increment. Also it should be clear that the FBI bits can be used for transmission of traditional pyatiletnego CQI, albeit with reduced frequency. For example, pyatiletny CQI can be encoded in and transmitted through the FBI bits during multiple time intervals.

In another embodiment, power control is implemented only for a subset of supporting downlink, for example, for single carrier downlink. Regulation on the downlink is typically used for telephone (voice) transmission, but can be omitted for data transmission, nl is through the planning process. Since in many applications the bandwidth required for voice transmission, is less than the bandwidth required for data downlink, many or sometimes all voice channels can be transmitted on a single carrier downlink. Therefore, some or all of the remaining carrying downlink within a cell can carry payload data. In this case, the power regulation of these remaining carrying downlink can be omitted.

In each case, the transceiver may be configured (if necessary) the transmit power of the carrier downlink, associative associated with the received CQI, in accordance with the received CQI. In other words, if the received CQI (or absolute CQI or CQI update increment) indicates that the power should be increased, processing component transceiver configures the transmitter so that the power increases, as indicated adopted CQI; if the received CQI indicates that the power should be reduced, the processing component transceiver adjusts the transmitter so that the power is reduced, as indicated adopted CQI.

Recall that if (N>M) the acknowledgement messages (ACK/NAK) for (N-M) excessive bearing downlink may also need to be transmitted in the ascending line of communication with application of the same M bearing, which already carry ACK/NAK for the first M carrying downlink. As already mentioned, this can be achieved using additional multiplexed code division HS-DPCCH described above with respect to CQI. Other methods described above and illustrated in figa, 3B and 3C can also be used for messages ACK/NAK, including a reduction in the frequency of such messages for carrying downlink (figa) and reuse bits of the FBI.

ACK/NAK can also multiplicious in an existing field CQI together with coarse CQI and/or CQI update increment. Figa illustrates one example of such multiplexing. As shown in this figure, an existing field 405 CQI is divided into three subfields: (1) subfield 410 for dvuhletnego coarse absolute CQI single carrier, (2) dvuhmestnoe subfield 412 coarse absolute CQI another carrier, and (3) one-bit subfield 414 to send messages ACK/NAK uplink connection.

Of course, CQI field may be split in other ways. Figv illustrates the splitting field 405 CQI on trenutno field 418 coarse absolute CQI, a one-bit subfield 420 CQI update increments and one-bit subfield 422 ACK/NACK. Different order of subfields and different order of bits within each sub-field also fall under the scope of this description the image is to be placed.

The above methods can be combined. For example, additional multiplexed code division channels can be defined for CQI along with the fact that FBI bits can be reused for ACK/NAK.

Now let's turn to the procedures for entry into synchronism with the system. In one of the embodiments consistent with the invention, the procedure for cold occurrences in synchronism with the system through a UE (for example, UE 130) is the same as the procedure of cold occurrences in synchronism described in the "Physical layer procedures (FDD)" ("physical layer Procedures (FDD)") technical requirements TS 25.214 3GPP. In the context of many of bearing, however, only a subset of the carrier downlink (the smallest subset is a single carrier out of the set of N carrier), you must carry the P-SCH/S-SCH and P-CCPCH to give UE the ability to perform the three-step procedure occurrence in synchronism with the system. Of course, the invention is not necessarily exclude the possibility of each of the subcarriers downlink containing P-SCH/S-SCH and P-CCPCH.

To facilitate hot-occurrence in synchronism in one of the embodiments the reference signal is the temporal reference for the newly added carrier communication line is the same as the reference signal, the temporal reference of the reference carrier, which reinforced concrete is s UE in the same cell. In some embodiments, all bearing downlink within a cell share the same reference signal temporal reference. Synchronization of different bearing from the same cell by using a common reference signal temporal reference gives the possibility of failure of stages 1 and 2 in sequence of occurrence in synchronism described in the specifications TS 3GPP 25.214 (relevant to capture the temporal reference interval and frame, and identify the scrambling code group to which belongs the honeycomb, through the capture of P-SCH and identification of S-SCH). Synchronization of supporting downlink makes this simplification at little or no cost to the system.

If only some, but not all, carrying downlink share the reference signal temporal reference, the alarm message can be used to indicate the UE (which adds a new carrier), whether jointly or not the new carrier reference signal temporal reference with the reference carrier. If the new carrier has known the time offset from the reference carrier, the alarm message can be used to signal to the UE time zone offset value, in addition to simplifying the procedure of hot entry into synchronism. This alarm can occur, n is the sample, using the P-CCPCH and/or S-CCPCH.

Moreover, using the same scrambling code for all bearing downlink within a cell gives the possibility of failure of stage 3 of the procedure of entering into synchronism. The use of a common code scramblase within a cell has the additional advantage of providing opportunities for the sharing of a single descrambler for demodulation many or even all bearing downlink. Therefore, in certain embodiments of the exercise of all or many selected carriers downlink within a cell share a common scrambling code.

If the scrambling code of the new carrier is different from the scrambling code of the current anchor carrier, the radio network may signal UE which scrambling code is used on the new carrier. This alarm can be performed, for example, using P-CCPCH and/or S-CCPCH.

Technical specifications TS 25.214 3GPP define two phases to synchronize the selected channels DL: the first phase and second phase. These phases are illustrated in figure 5. TS 25.214 additionally defines two procedures synchronization for the selected channels, namely the procedure A and procedure B. Procedure A procedure is established, and the re-configuration is iravani "separation and establishment" (for example, strict relay transmission service to another frequency, and relay transmission service between RAT (remote terminal access)). Procedure B is the procedure to add/reconfigure radio link (for example, adding additional cells in the active set in UE).

Since the procedure B, the synchronization does not directly involve UE, it does not require changes to support work on many carriers. Procedure A, however, can be modified to work on many carriers. For example, the phase "b" of A procedure prescribes that the initial transmit power for the DPCCH or F-DPCH DL is set higher levels on the same carrier. In some embodiments, implementation, allowing work on many of bearing, the initial transmit power is set to be the same as the current transmit power level for one of the installed bearing, thereby simplifying synchronization.

In some embodiments, the implementation with many carriers, synchronization symbols psevdochumoy sequence and personnel described in stage "c", simplified common temporal reference different carrier downlink within a cell.

Step "d" A procedure prescribes the initial transmission of the UE. For systems with single-carrier transmission of DPCCH begins with an initial transmit power, which sets the I higher levels of communication protocols. In certain embodiments, with many bearing this initial DPCCH power can also be set on the same level as the power level DPCCH another active carrier uplink communication. The preamble power control, thus, can be shortened to speed up the synchronization procedure.

The random access procedure for a system with many carriers can be the same or essentially the same, such as for a system with a single carrier, as the initial access to the system running on a single carrier, and the addition of bearing is establishing or reconfiguring the selected channel.

In certain embodiments rigorous system with many carriers retransmission HARQ PHY data HS-PDSCH are produced on a carrier other than the carrier, which had made the original transfer.

In certain embodiments of the implementation of the system with many carriers retransmission HARQ PHY data E-DPCH occur only at frequencies for which the honeycomb is serving hundredth UE.

In variants of the implementation of the system with many carriers, planning, carrying downlink may be performed in different ways. 6 illustrates a joint planning of bearing. In this embodiment, the data payload downlink the office of each UE, such as a buffer 610 UE, are scheduled according to the scheduler, many of bearing, such as shared scheduler 620 of many carriers. The scheduler 620, located in the controller (for example, the controller 110 of figure 1), data plans for all transmitters carrying downlink (630-1 through 630-N) in the set of active device-specific UE. The scheduler 620 may execute either all available supporting downlink, or a subset of the available carrier downlink. Mainly, the scheduler 620 may schedule transmission of the downlink, whereas the quality of the channel and the available bandwidth of each carrier together. For example, when a freeze signal restricts or delays the transmission of downlink on one of the bearing, the scheduler 620 may reduce or even cancel UE data intended for transmission to this carrier, and planned to increase data throughput on the other bearing, which are not experiencing a freeze at the same point in time.

Fig.7 illustrates the independent (or individual) planning supporting downlink. In this embodiment, the data in the shared buffer 710 UE data are split into N parallel streams demultiple what carom 715. Threads can have the same volume or different volumes, for example, depending on the bandwidth of each of the bearing and from the other parameters. When strict on many bearing the splitting may occur in the controller (for example, the controller 110 of figure 1) or in the Node B (e.g., node 125 communication). When working with numerous cells splitting may occur in the controller.

Each of the individual threads is served in a separate buffer carrier corresponding to the carrier flow. Separate buffers bearing is marked with the numbers from 720-1 through 720-N links. The data in each buffer carrier then planned to send downlink corresponding scheduler carrier. Planners carrier, which is marked with the numbers from 725-1 on 725-N may be located in the Node B, such as node 125 communication. Data from each of the buffers 720 bearing then passed on to its carrier corresponding transmitter carrier downlink. Transmitters carrying downlink designated rooms with 730-1 through 730-N links.

It should be clear that the concept of joint and independent planning of bearing exists in addition to the concepts of modes strict work on many of bearing and with numerous cells.

Characteristics of rigorous work in many bearing these include:

1. One cell is served by what she HS-DSCH and E-DCH for all bearing supported UE.

2. Splitting on many bearing buffer user data is performed in the Node B.

3. The node B may perform individual planning of bearing or bearing joint planning.

4. Re-transmitting the PHY HARQ can use the same or another carrier.

Fig additionally illustrates the concept of strict work on many carriers. Here, the device 810 of the user equipment shown during soft relay transmission service. The 820 controller radio network controls the operation of the three nodes of Node B: node 830A communication Node B, node 830B communication Node B and node 830C communication Node B. the Solid line 840 represent data bearing on many a site 830B communication, coupled with the fact that the dotted lines 850A and 850C indicate transmission of service data with nodes 830A and 830C communication, respectively. Transmission of service data may carry control information, for example, the power regulation, E-HICH and E-rgch field ascending line. In this way many nodes have the ability to instruct the UE 810 reduce power, for example, in order to reduce interference in their associated sectors.

Features of work with numerous cells include the following:

different cells may be serving HS-DSCH and E-DCH for different bearing supported UE.

The splitting of mn is shM bearing buffer user data is performed in the radio network controller; if the Node B contains more than one serving cell for a given UE, additional splitting can be performed in the Node B.

The node B may schedule specified UE within the set of frequencies for which the Node B contains the serving UE cell; if this set is more than one can be an individual or joint planning of load-bearing.

Figure 9 additionally illustrates the concept of multiple cells. In this figure, the device 910 of the user equipment also shown during soft relay transmission service. The controller 920 radio network controls the operation of the three nodes of Node B: node 930A communications Node B, node 930B communication Node B and node 930C communication Node B. the Solid line 930 represent data downlink, whereas the dotted line 950 indicate transmission of service data. Note that in mode numerous cells, illustrated in figure 9, the data downlink maintained with both nodes, 930A and 930B: solid lines 940A represent data on two frequencies from a node 930A communications, and the solid line 940B indicates data transfer to another carrier, from a node 930B communication. Transmission of service data downlink, which are indicated by dashed lines 950, go with all three nodes 930 communication. Send a service the data, for example, can carry control information, power control, E-HICH and E-rgch field ascending line.
