The SCOPE of the INVENTION

The present invention relates to a method of encoding and transmitting feedback information in a wireless telecommunications network with multiple carriers, network node, working with implementation of this method, and computer program product.

The LEVEL of TECHNOLOGY

Known wireless telecommunications system with a single carrier. In these known systems, the radio coverage provided to user equipment such as mobile phones, by geographical area. The base station is located in each geographic area to provide the required coverage. User equipment in the area served by the base station, receives information and data from the base station and transmits information and data to the base station. In telecommunications networks with high-speed packet transmission in the downlink (HSDPA) data and information sent between the user equipment and the base station in the data packets on the radio frequency carrier.

Information and data sent by the base station to the user equipment, occurring on the radio frequency carrier, known as bearing downlink. The information and data transmitted by the user equipment bases on the first station, occur on a radio frequency carrier, known as bearing the ascending line.

In known wireless telecommunications systems operating in single carrier, the user equipment can move between the geographic coverage areas of base stations. For service provided to user equipment, supervise through a radio network controller (RNC). The radio network controller communicates with the user equipment and base stations, and determines which base station is initially connected user equipment. In addition, the radio network controller operates to control and communicate with the base station and the user equipment when the user equipment moves from the geographical area served by one base station within the geographic area served by another base station.

It was proposed to provide the opportunity for base stations and user equipment for each, to transmit simultaneously on more than one carrier. Moreover, it was proposed to provide opportunity for user equipment and base stations to receive simultaneously on more than one carrier frequency. Each carrier as the uplink communication, and the downward side of the ligature, usually independently control the power supply and each carrier independently plan by the base station. Supply more than one carrier downlink, for example, four frequency carrier, provides the opportunity to increase data throughput on the user equipment. Network with more than two carriers, can be termed as a network of high-speed packet downlink with multiple cells" (MC-HSDPA). The term network "multi-carrier", as used herein, is intended to cover cases where two, three, four or more bearing descending (ascending) lines provide in the network.

Providing the functionality of multiple bearing may have associated problems. Therefore, it is desirable to improve the operation of a wireless telecommunications network having a functionality of multiple carriers.

The INVENTION

Therefore, the first aspect provides a method of encoding and transmitting feedback information from the first network node to a second network node in a wireless telecommunications network with multiple carriers, and the first network node operates with the opportunity to: receive signals from the second network node on two or more bearing reception, and each n the am reception is passed within the associated range, and

data transmission to the second network node on one or more carrier transmission, the method comprises the steps are:

(i) monitor the signal on at least two of the bearing receiving;

(ii) generate feedback information for at least two of these carrier reception on the basis of received signals;

(iii) group information feedback for bearing receiving transmitted within the same radio band; and encoding the grouped information feedback for two or more bearing receiving transmitted within the same radio band; and

(iv) transmit the encoded feedback information to the second network node on one or more load-bearing gear.

You should realize that in a wireless telecommunications network multi-carrier downlink provide feedback, likely required for each carrier downlink. Such feedback, for example, may contain: feedback confirming receipt for the implemented Protocol with acknowledgement of receipt, the signs of the channel quality (CQI) and the pointer control precoded (PCI), is used to indicate the appropriate transmission parameters for a data transmission on each carrier downlink. It should be understood that this inverse is th link can help to ensure that the network operates efficiently. For example, feedback associated with the use of data-transfer mode, running the Protocol with acknowledgement of receipt, and enables re-transmission of erroneously decoded packet data or traffic data blocks and provides the ability to minimize unnecessary data packets or transport data blocks. Feedback in this Protocol (ACK or NACK) may inform the network about the fact that you have successfully accepted the packet data, and sent back and is confirmation of successful reception, there is no need to resend the data packet. Conversely, if a negative acknowledgement sent back and accepted, the data packet may be re-sent. Protocols types of HARQ (hybrid automatic request for repetition of the transmission) are examples of such a Protocol with acknowledgement of receipt.

If the HSDPA system is operating in single carrier, the necessary information feedback related to the carrying downlink, according to the carrier uplink communication. The feedback report in a known format of the signaling path of the ascending line, known as high-speed dedicated physical control channel (HS-DPCCH).

Formats HS-DPCCH can use canalobre the code distribution factor 256. This format provides the possibility of a time slot 10 bits for 0,666 MS. These formats HS-DPCCH can provide the opportunity to channel uplink communication HS-DPCCH on the carrier uplink connection to transfer the feedback signal for no more than 2 bearing downlink by multiplexing relevant management information for carrying two available bits SF256.

For HSDPA systems, able to operate in multiple frequencies can be supplied on more than two carrier downlink. You should realize that in HSDPA networks with multiple bearing number bearing downlink may not coincide with the number of bearing the upward communication line or channel of the ascending line connection HS-DPCCH. In addition, the number of supplied carrying downlink may not be exactly double the number of supplied bearing upward communication lines or channels of upward communication line HS-DPCCH.

Each carrier uplink communication or transmission may contain one or more data channel, which can transmit feedback. Information feedback according to the first aspect may be sent to a specified second network node on one or more transmission channel to one or more carrier transmission.

The first aspect reveals that technological methods for before the provision of feedback carrier network with multiple carriers may be subject to disadvantages.

For example, the possibility to transfer feedback system with 4-carrier downlink include the use of a channel code SF128. Such a channel with a channel forming code SF128 provides 20 bits per timeslot and could therefore provide the possibility to display all of the required information feedback in single channel HS-DPCCH single carrier uplink communication. This arrangement is subject to the disadvantage of the requirements of the new format, multiplexing and coding. In the implementation that uses the architecture and processes of the existing systems can be complex.

An alternative possibility is the use of multiple channels ID SF256. Under this scheme requires a rule to determine how to display feedback corresponding to each carrier downlink, channel HS-DPCCH, provided one or more carrier uplink communication. Moreover, owing to the disadvantages associated with the use of single channel code SF128, the use of multiple channels ID SF256 may be preferable, when provided with more than two carrier downlink.

The first aspect reveals that the rule that implements the use of channels code allocation SF256 for systems with multiple carriers, can the advantages to the public to consider, different bearing downlink can be activated and deactivated dynamically.

In a system with multiple carriers may be provided N carrying downlink. These bearing downlink can be denoted by: C(1)C(2) ...C(n)... C(N). In such a system may also be provided and set HS-DPCCH. These dedicated data channels can be provided on a single carrier uplink communication or can be provided on one or more carrier uplink communication. Every available HS-DPCCH denote: H(1), H(2)...H(m)H(M) (where M may be equal to N/2, since each HS-DPCCH may carry feedback for 2 bearing downlink).

If M=N/2, one possibility regarding the mapping rules for the implementation and use code distribution SF256 is displaying feedback for carrier C(n) downlink channel HS-DPCCH H((n/2)), where (n/2) here denotes rounding to the nearest whole number (the "upper limit").

However, this display may lead to more code HS-DPCCH than is strictly necessary. For example, if N=4, and C(2) and C(3) is deactivated, then according to this rule, you will need two HS-DPCCH. A more efficient rule can account for the activation of the carrier. More HS-DPCCH than required, it is no lack of volumetric increase of metric (CM) of the transmitted signal and, as a result, the cost of implementation. This rule also does not take into account the fact that different carriers may be in different frequency bands with possibly different coverage areas and to experience different radioslave.

The first aspect reveals that it may be advantageous to display feedback regarding carrying downlink in a single range, the same HS-DPCCH. For example, if C(1) and C(3) are in the same range, while C(2) and C(4) are in a different range, the first aspect reveals that it may be better to display feedback for C(1) and C(3) H(1) and feedback for C(2) and C(4) H(2).

According to the first aspect of displaying feedback carrier on the channel HS-DPCCH first groups feedback corresponding bearing in the same range. In some embodiments, the implementation of this grouping can be a pairing. The pairing may be particularly preferred when use code distribution SF256.

In one embodiment, N=6 and carrier C(1)C(2)C(3) and C(6) is activated, and the bearing C(4) C(5) is deactivated, where C(1) and C(3) are in the same range. In this embodiment, the grouping system and reports about the feedback according to the first aspect may operate to display the C(1) and C(3) H(1), C(2) H(2) and C(6) H(3). You should realize that according to the SNO to the first aspect, the radio, inside of which transmit carrier downlink is crucial. Therefore, C(4) will also be displayed on the H(2)and C(5) H(3), but since they are not activated, the feedback signal is not passed in.

In one embodiment, step (i) includes the steps of receiving instructions activated carrier reception and monitoring of the signal on at least one of these activated carrier reception.

In one embodiment, the rule display additionally includes activated carriers. Thus, the feedback group first or combine in pairs according to the bearing downlink, which is transmitted within the same radio range, and then group or form pairs according to which the bearing is activated at the moment. In one embodiment, N=6 and carrier C(1)C(2)C(3) and C(6) is activated, where C(1) and C(3) are in the same range. This implementation shows the C(1) and C(3) H(1), C(2) H(2) and C(6) H(2).

In one embodiment, step (iii) includes grouping said information feedback for activated carrier receiving transmitted within the same radio band; and encoding specified grouped feedback information for two or more activated carrier receiving transmitted within the od of the CSOs and the same radio range.

You should realize that the signal can not be adopted in relation to the carrier, and that the feedback generated in respect of such carrier reception, may reflect that the signal was not accepted.

In one embodiment, step (ii) is carried out only for these bearing reception, which take a signal.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION of DRAWINGS

Embodiments of the present invention will now be additionally described with reference to the drawing, which illustrates the basic components of a telecommunication network according to one variant of implementation.

DESCRIPTION of embodiments

The drawing illustrates a wireless telecommunications system 10 according to one variant of implementation. The user equipment 50 is moved through a wireless telecommunication system. Provided by the base station 20, which support the radio coverage 30. Provided a number of such base stations 20 and distributed geographically in order to provide wide area coverage of the user equipment 50. When the user equipment is located within the area served by the base station 30, the connection can be established between the user equipment and the base station connected through a radio link. Each base station typically supports a number of sectors is s within the geographic service area 30.

Typically another antenna inside the base station supports each related sector. Therefore, each base station 20 has multiple antennas, and the signals sent by different antennas are electronically balanced to ensure sektorowego approach. Of course, you should realize that the drawing illustrates a small subset of the total number of user equipment and base stations, which may be present in a typical communication system.

The radio access network of a wireless communication system is managed by the radio network controller (RNC) 40. The radio network controller 40 controls the operation of the wireless communication system through communication with multiple base stations via a transit line 60 connected. The network controller also communicates with the user equipment 50 via each base station.

In HSDPA mode multiple bearing each sector served by the base station may have multiple carrier frequencies or "bearing"associated with them. Carrier or honeycomb-supported carrier covers the same geographic area as the sector. Each cell is served by a different carrier frequency. Consequently, it will be clear that in a system with a single carrier cell is equivalent to the sector,as the sector has only one cell or carrier frequency. However, in a network with multiple carriers each sector can contain multiple cells, and each cell is served by a different carrier frequency.

The radio network controller 60 contains a list of neighbors, which includes information on the geographic relationship between the sectors supported by the base stations 20. In addition, the radio network controller 60 includes location information, which provides information about the location of the user equipment 50 within the wireless communication system 10. The radio network controller works with the ability to route traffic through the network circuit-switched and packet-switched. Hence provide a mobile switching center with which the radio network controller can communicate. The mobile switching center may communicate with the network switching channels, such as the public switched telephone network (PSTN) 70. Similarly, the network controller may communicate with a serving node to support the General packet radio service (SGSN) and gateway support node General packet radio service (GGSN). The GGSN may communicate with the control network packet, such as, for example, the Internet.

The user equipment 50 is typically transmits and the information and data to the base station 20, so that they can be routed within a wireless telecommunications network. The user equipment may, for example, require data transmission to the base station to relay text messages, voice information when the user uses the equipment to make a phone call, or other data. The base station 20 in combination with the parameters set by the controller 40 of the radio network, allocates resources to the user equipment a manner that is aimed at optimizing the performance of a wireless telecommunications network 10.

The wireless link is a connection between the user equipment 50 and a hundredth of a base station. A dedicated radio link form, when the user equipment is in the status "cell-DCH". When the user equipment does not transmit information, such as text messages or voice information to the base station, it is in the so-called "stand by"mode. When the user equipment has information to transmit to the base station, it selects an attached state in which to work. When in this state the cell-DCH user equipment is able to use high speed packet access radioresource upward communication and/or downward l the Institute of communication to achieve high throughput for uplink communication and/or downlink.

In a system with multiple carriers, each carrier will have an independent downstream radio link from the base station to the user equipment. These descending lines radio controlled independently, as each carrier is likely to have different ways of propagation to the user equipment.

In a wireless telecommunications network, working with multi-carrier downlink, provide feedback, likely required for each carrier downlink. Such feedback, for example, may contain: feedback confirming receipt for the implemented Protocol with acknowledgement of receipt, the signs of the channel quality (CQI) and the pointer control precoded (PCI), is used to indicate the appropriate transmission parameters for a data transmission on each carrier downlink. It should be understood that such feedback can help to ensure that the network operates efficiently. For example, feedback associated with the use of data-transfer mode, running the Protocol with acknowledgement of receipt, provides the ability to transmit redundant data packets, or transport blocks of data that are subject to minimization. Feedback in this Protocol (in the ideal ACK or NACK) may inform the network about you have successfully passed the data packet and sent back and is confirmation of successful reception.

There is no need to resend the data packet. Protocols types of HARQ (hybrid automatic request for repetition of the transmission) are examples of such a Protocol with acknowledgement of receipt.

In the system, working only with a single carrier, the necessary information feedback related to the carrying downlink, according to the carrier uplink communication. The feedback report in a known format channel uplink communication signal transmission, known as high-speed dedicated physical control channel (HS-DPCCH).

Formats HS-DPCCH can use a channelization code with a distribution factor of 256. This format provides the possibility of a time slot 10 bits for 0,666 MS. These formats HS-DPCCH can provide the possibility of carrying uplink communication to carry feedback for not more than 2 bearing downlink by multiplexing relevant management information for carrying two available bits SF256.

For HSDPA systems, able to operate in multiple frequencies can be supplied on more than two carrier downlink. You should realize that in a network with multiple carriers, the number of bearing the outgoing communication lines may not coincide with the number of supporting uplink communication. In addition, the number of supplied carrying downlink may not be exactly double the number provided supporting uplink connection.

According to one variant of implementation, the feedback rule that implements the use of codes distribution SF256 for systems with multiple carriers, can mostly be taken into account that different bearing downlink can experience different radioslave, and that different bearing downlink can be activated and deactivated dynamically.

In a system with multiple carriers may be provided N carrying downlink. These bearing downlink can be denoted by: C(1)C(2) ...C(n)... C(N). In such a system may also be provided and set HS-DPCCH. These dedicated data channels can be provided on a single carrier uplink communication or can be provided on one or more carrier uplink communication. Every available HS-DPCCH denote: H(1), H(2)...H(m)H(M) (where M may be equal to N/2, since each HS-DPCCH may carry feedback signal for 2 bearing downlink).

For systems, where M is chosen equal to N/2, one possibility regarding the mapping rules for the implementation and use code distribution SF256 is displaying feedback for carrier nicholaspillai relation C(n) on the HS-DPCCH H((n/2)), where (n/2) denote rounding to the nearest whole number ("function "upper limit").

However, this display may lead to more code HS-DPCCH than is strictly necessary. For example: if N=4, and C(2) and C(3) is deactivated, then according to this rule, you will need two HS-DPCCH. A more efficient rule can account for the activation of the carrier. More HS-DPCCH than required, has the disadvantage of increasing the bulk metric (CM) of the transmitted signal and, consequently, the cost of implementation. This rule also does not take into account the fact that different carriers may be in different frequency bands with possibly different coverage areas and to experience different radioslave.

In one embodiment, reveal that it may be advantageous to display feedback regarding carrying downlink in a single range, the same HS-DPCCH. For example, if C(1) and C(3) are in the same range, while C(2) and C(4) are in a different range, the first aspect reveals that it may be better to display feedback for C(1) and C(3) H(1) and feedback for C(2) and C(4) H(2).

According to one variant of implementation, the display feedback carrier on the channel HS-DPCCH first groups feedback corresponding bearing in the same range. In some var is the ants implementation of this grouping can be a pairing. The pairing may be particularly preferred when use code distribution SF256.

In one embodiment, N=6 and carrier C(1)C(2)C(3) and C(6) is activated, and the bearing C(4) C(5) is deactivated, where C(1) and C(3) are in the same range. In this embodiment, the grouping system and reports about the feedback according to the first aspect may operate to display the C(1) and C(3) H(1), C(2) H(2) and C(6) H(3). You should realize that according to the first aspect of the radio, inside of which transmit carrier downlink is crucial. Therefore, C(4) will also be displayed on the H(2)and C(5) H(3), but since they are not activated, the feedback signal is not passed in.

In one embodiment, the rule display additionally includes activated carriers. Thus feedback first group or form pairs according to the bearing downlink transmitted within the same radio range, and then group or form pairs according to which the bearing is activated at the moment. In one embodiment, N=6 and carrier C(1)C(2)C(3) and C(6) is activated, where C(1) and C(3) are in the same range. This implementation shows the C(1) and C(3) H(1), C(2) H(2) and C(6) H(2).
