Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a data transmission method and apparatus.
Background
Machine Type Communication (MTC) or Machine to Machine (M2M) User Equipment (UE) is the main application form of the internet of things at present. Low power consumption and/or low cost are important guarantees for its large-scale application. The M2M devices currently deployed in the market are mainly based on Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) System. In recent years, as the spectrum efficiency of Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems is higher, and more mobile operators have determined LTE as the Evolution direction of future broadband wireless communication systems, various types of data services of M2M based on LTE will also be more attractive.
The cost of MTC UEs comes mainly from the baseband processing part and the radio frequency part. In order to reduce the cost of the MTC UE, reducing uplink and/or downlink transmission bandwidths (including baseband and radio frequency bandwidths) of the UE is a very effective way to reduce the cost of the MTC UE, for example, when the system bandwidth far exceeds 1.4MHz, all uplink and/or downlink transmission bandwidths of the MTC UE can only be narrow bandwidths such as 1.4 MHz. In addition to the above-described bandwidth reduction method, the mtue cost may be further reduced by a single reception antenna, a reduced transmission power, a reduced maximum Transport Block Size (TBS), and the like.
Since some MTC UEs are installed in basements of houses or in places covered by aluminum alloy windows or conventional thick-wall building structures, these UEs experience considerable penetration loss at the radio frequency interface compared to normal MTC UEs, and thus, in order to ensure normal data transmission of the UEs, it is necessary to enhance the coverage of the MTC UEs. Wherein the enhanced channel types include: a Physical Uplink or Downlink Shared Channel (PUSCH/PDSCH), a Physical Uplink/Downlink Control Channel (PUCCH/PDCCH), and the like. Wherein, the coverage enhancement of the PDSCH includes coverage enhancement of System Information Block (SIB) data, Paging (Paging) message, and coverage enhancement of unicast service data. To accumulate more energy to improve coverage, iterative methods are commonly used to achieve transmission enhancements for various channel types.
At present, unlike unicast service data, a base station configures Paging messages to be transmitted in a limited radio frame and subframe positions in a determined Paging Cycle (Paging Cycle), that is, available subframes for transmitting the Paging messages periodically appear at intervals of the Paging Cycle; if the above method were used along with coverage enhancement/repeated transmission of paging messages, combined reception/decoding across a large number of paging cycles would be employed to achieve coverage enhancement objectives, which would greatly increase the transmission delay of the paging message. On one hand, the longer transmission delay of the paging message causes the determined wireless resource to be occupied by the paging message for a long time, thereby being not beneficial to the cooperative scheduling of the wireless resource; on the other hand, a longer paging message transmission delay will also affect the normal transmission of other broadcast and/or unicast data in addition to the paging message.

Detailed Description
In the embodiment of the invention, the number N of time intervals occupied by the repeated transmission of the paging message under the coverage enhancement level is obtained; determining N time intervals for repeatedly transmitting the paging message according to the UE identification; determining a paging narrow band for repeatedly transmitting the paging message according to the coverage enhancement level; repeatedly transmitting the paging message on the determined paging narrowband and available subframes in the determined N time intervals.
Wherein N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of an implementation of a data transmission method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the data transmission method according to the embodiment of the present invention includes:
step S101: acquiring the number N of time intervals occupied by repeated transmission of paging messages under the coverage enhancement level;
wherein N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.
Specifically, acquiring the number N of time intervals occupied by the repeated transmission of the paging message in the coverage enhancement level includes: acquiring the number N of time intervals occupied by repeated transmission of paging messages under the coverage enhancement level by indicating the broadcasted paging system parameters to the UE; or, the number of time intervals N occupied by the repeated transmission of the paging message in the coverage enhancement level is implicitly determined according to the subframes (available subframes) available for the transmission of the paging message. For example, the different possible examples of subframes available for paging message transmission described above may be bundled with the number of time intervals N occupied by repeated transmissions at the coverage enhancement level, such that all subframes available for paging message transmission or one of the different examples of available subframes (e.g., subframe 0/4/5/9) always corresponds to a unique number of time intervals.
Wherein the time interval includes, but is not limited to: radio frames, half frames. Given the potentially large time span for repeated transmission of paging messages, radio frames and half-frames may be more suitable for use as the minimum granularity for allocation of paging message time domain resources.
Here, the number of time intervals occupied by the repeated transmission of the paging message having the X-th coverage enhancement level is an integer multiple of the number of time intervals occupied by the repeated transmission of the paging message having the Y-th coverage enhancement level; wherein X and Y are positive integers of 1 or more, and X is less than Y. That is, the number of time intervals occupied by the repeated transmission of the paging message of the larger coverage enhancement level is an integer multiple of the number of time intervals occupied by the repeated transmission of the paging message of the smaller coverage enhancement level. The above features or methods facilitate resource alignment of paging messages of different coverage enhancement levels, thereby facilitating an increase in radio resource utilization efficiency.
Wherein, the coverage enhancement level is also called repetition level, and a higher level indicates a larger coverage enhancement degree required by the paging message.
Step S102: determining N time intervals for repeatedly transmitting the paging message according to the UE identification;
specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
partitioning all time intervals in the range of each paging Cycle size P _ Cycle by taking N continuous time intervals as granularity (namely, each partition comprises N continuous time intervals);
determining one of all time interval blocks according to the UE identification;
the N time intervals for repeated transmission of the paging message are N consecutive time intervals contained in the block. The method can realize that the paging messages of different UEs are repeatedly transmitted in different time interval blocks. The value of the P _ Cycle is obtained by a mode of indicating broadcasted system parameters or UE-specific signaling to the UE, and is an integral multiple of the time interval number occupied by the repeated transmission of the paging message with the maximum coverage enhancement grade. That is, the public P _ Cycle is informed by broadcasted system parameters, but does not exclude the possibility of subsequent P _ Cycle adjustments for a specific UE using UE-specific signaling. Thus, complexity reduction and resource alignment convenience are facilitated.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the determining one of all time interval blocks according to the UE identifier includes:
step S1021: determining a first time interval according to the identity of the UE;
here, the calculation expression for determining the first time interval according to the UE identity is as follows:
TIN_1mod P_Cycle＝N*(UE_ID mod(P_Cycle/N))；
alternatively, TIN _1_ Temp mod P _ Cycle ═ N (UE _ ID mod (P _ Cycle/N)), and TIN _1 ═ TIN _1_ Temp + TIN _ O × N) mod P _ Cycle;
wherein, P _ Cycle represents the size of the paging Cycle, UE _ ID represents the identity of the UE, TIN _1 represents the number of the first time interval, TIN _ O represents the bias of the UE-specific time interval block, the value range is 0 to Q-1, wherein Q is the time interval block number with the size of N included in the P _ Cycle, and TIN _1_ Temp represents the intermediate variable for calculating the TIN _ 1. Here, the TIN _ O may be indicated to the UE through UE-specific Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, and the introduction of the TIN _ O further increases flexibility of resource allocation when a paging message is repeatedly transmitted.
Step S1022: determining N consecutive time intervals beginning with the first time interval as time interval blocks of the repeated transmission of the paging message.
Step S103: determining a paging narrow band for repeatedly transmitting the paging message according to the coverage enhancement level;
specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
dividing all coverage classes into K groups, wherein K is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1 and represents the number of narrow bands which can be used for repeatedly transmitting the paging message, and the K different coverage class groups correspond to K different paging narrow bands one by one, wherein the grouping information of all the coverage classes and the paging narrow band information corresponding to different groups are preset or indicated to the UE through broadcasted system parameters;
the paging narrow band used for repeatedly transmitting the paging message is the paging narrow band corresponding to the coverage enhancement level group in which the coverage level is positioned. The method can realize that any paging narrow band for repeatedly transmitting the paging message at least corresponds to one coverage enhancement grade. For example, assuming that the number of narrow bands available for repeated transmission of the paging message is two (K equals 2), and that there are four coverage classes in total, the following may be preset or indicated by broadcasted system parameters: the four coverage classes are divided into two coverage class groups, a first coverage class group comprising first and second coverage classes, a second coverage class group comprising third and fourth coverage classes, the first and second coverage class groups corresponding to first and second paging narrowband, respectively.
Here, the paging narrowband is one of a set of narrowband available for repeatedly transmitting a paging message;
acquiring the narrowband set in a preset mode or in a mode of indicating broadcasted paging system parameters to UE; the narrowband set is independent of or overlaps with a System Information Block (SIB) and Master Information Block (MIB) narrowband set.
Wherein the overlapping includes a full overlap and a partial overlap.
Wherein, when the paging message conflicts with the MIB or SIB1 transmission, the transmission of the paging message is abandoned;
when the paging message collides with the transmission of other SIBs other than SIB1, the transmission of the paging message or the other SIBs is discarded.
Specifically, the set of paging narrow bands includes:
independent of SIB and MIB narrowband sets.
For example, as shown in fig. 3(a), the only one narrowband available for transmission of the paging message, the SIB and the MIB is the single narrowband, and the paging narrowband and the SIB and MIB each use independent narrowbands, without any collision between the three narrowbands, but considering that a small bandwidth scene may not have enough available narrowband number, this approach may not be suitable for a small system bandwidth, such as a case where the system bandwidth takes 3MHz and 1.4 MHz.
Or independent of the MIB narrowband set and overlapping with the SIB narrowband set.
For example, as shown in figure 3(b), the paging message and the SIB employ the same, i.e., two narrowbands that overlap completely and are independent of the central narrowband used for MIB repetition transmission. As shown in fig. 3(c), SIB transmission employs two narrowbands other than the central narrowband, and the paging message employs one of the two narrowbands other than the central narrowband for MIB repetition transmission, where the paging narrowband and the SIB narrowband set are partially overlapped. In this case, when the paging message collides with the transmission of the SIB1, the current transmission of the paging message is abandoned, and when the paging message collides with the transmission of the SIB other than the SIB1, the current transmission of the paging message or the SIB is abandoned; considering the above possibility of abandoning the transmission of paging messages, which may result in a reduction in paging performance or an increase in delay, this approach is not suitable for a small system bandwidth of 1.4 MHz.
Or independent of the SIB narrowband set and overlapping with the MIB narrowband set.
For example, as shown in fig. 3(d), the paging message and the MIB share a unique center narrowband, and two narrowbands other than the center narrowband are used for SIB transmission. As shown in fig. 3(e), the paging message and the MIB share a unique center narrowband, and one of two narrowbands other than the center narrowband is used for SIB transmission. In this case, when the paging message collides with the MIB transmission, the current paging transmission is abandoned; in view of the above-described possibility of forgoing page transmission, paging performance or latency may be incurred. This approach is also not applicable to 1.4MHz system bandwidth and different MIB coverage enhancements may also result in different collision probabilities for paging and MIB transmissions.
Or a unique narrow band shared with the system information block and the system information block.
For example, as shown in fig. 3(f), the narrowband available for transmission of the paging message, the SIB, and the MIB is only one, and the paging message shares a unique central narrowband with the SIB and the MIB, and two narrowbands other than the central narrowband are no longer used for transmission of the SIB and the paging message. In this case, when a paging message collides with the MIB or SIB1 transmission, the transmission of the paging message is abandoned; discarding transmission of the paging message or SIB when the paging message collides with transmission of other SIBs other than SIB 1; in view of the above-described possibility of abandoning the transmission of the paging message, the paging performance may be degraded or the delay may be increased; and coverage enhancements of different MIBs or SIBs may result in different collision probabilities of paging with MIB or SIB transmissions. The only advantage of this approach is that it is applicable to 1.4MHz system bandwidth.
Step S104: repeatedly transmitting the paging message on the determined paging narrowband and available subframes in the determined N time intervals.
Specifically, for a Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) system, the available subframes are subframe 0, subframe 4, subframe 5, and subframe 9, or all available subframes at least including subframe 0, subframe 4, subframe 5, and subframe 9; for a Time Division Duplex (TDD) system, the available subframes are subframe 0, subframe 1, subframe 5, and subframe 6, or all available subframes at least including subframe 0, subframe 1, subframe 5, and subframe 6; wherein, the all available subframes include non-Multicast and Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) downlink subframes and MBSFN subframes without Multicast service transmission.
Here, when the available subframes are all available subframes including at least the 4 subframes, the all available subframes are acquired by indicating broadcasted system parameters to the UE; the broadcasted system parameters comprise MBSFN subframe configuration parameters, MBSFN subframe configuration parameters with multicast service transmission and TDD subframe configuration parameters. Specifically, for an FDD system, the all available subframes are subframes other than MBSFN subframes where multicast service transmission exists; for a TDD system, the all available subframes are subframes other than MBSFN subframes and TDD uplink subframes where multicast service transmission exists. For FDD and TDD systems, the non-MBSFN downlink subframes include at least subframe 0/4/5/9 and subframe 0/1/5/6, respectively.
Here, to reduce the paging transmission delay, the largest paging subframe resource should be preferentially adopted for coverage enhanced transmission of the paging message; in particular, considering that subframe 0/4/5/9 is not always configured as an MBSFN subframe for FDD systems and subframe 0/1/5/6 is always not an uplink subframe and is not configured as an MBSFN subframe for TDD systems, the subframes available for transmission of paging messages should at least include subframe 0/4/5/9 and subframe 0/1/5/6 for FDD and TDD systems, respectively.
In addition, if the UE can obtain the subframe configuration parameters of the current cell (for example, the MBSFN subframe configuration parameters with multicast service transmission, the TDD subframe configuration parameters, and the like), other subframes except the 4 subframes may also be used for repeated transmission of the paging message, and finally, all the available subframes may be used for repeated transmission of the paging message. For example, when a UE in Idle (Idle) state enters a new cell, it will usually wake up in advance to receive the system information of the cell (including the subframe configuration parameters of the current cell), only that the specific receiving or waking up time depends on the UE implementation. However, considering that there may be more or less delay from when the UE in an idle state enters a new cell until system information of the cell is acquired, the UE may not receive all paging subframes during the delay. For example, as shown in fig. 4, the subframes of the paging message transmitted by the current cell include subframe 1 and subframe 6 in addition to subframe 0/4/5/9, but since the UE does not timely acquire the subframe configuration information of the current cell at the time of waking up to receive the paging message, it cannot know that subframe 1 and subframe 6 are also used for the paging message transmission, and thus the UE may not receive or utilize the paging message transmitted in subframe 1 and subframe 6. In addition, if different cells with different paging subframe numbers have different paging retransmission durations, the combining process of the corresponding paging retransmission may also be affected. However, if it is envisaged that different cells in an actual network will typically use the same or uniform paging related system parameters and will not change frequently, the above problem may not be serious or need special consideration.
Here, the repeated transmission of the paging message has the following characteristics: 1) occupying all physical resources within a narrowband where paging messages are repeatedly transmitted; 2) the modulation method is four Phase Shift Keying (QPSK); 3) fixed or restricted Transport Block Size (TBS). Wherein, when the restricted TBS is applied, the UE needs to monitor or blindly detect a different TBS when receiving the paging message. It should be noted that although the UE may monitor or blindly detect different TBSs, it is preferable that the UE always monitor or detect a unique coverage enhancement level in consideration of the limitation of the narrowband transmission and the UE buffer size.
In an embodiment, the method further comprises: in the process of repeatedly transmitting the paging message on the determined available subframes in the N time intervals and the determined paging narrow band, if the paging messages with different coverage enhancement levels are transmitted on the determined paging narrow band and conflict occurs, the paging message with one coverage enhancement level is optionally reserved; or, classifying the paging messages of different coverage enhancement classes into a unique paging message having a maximum coverage enhancement class and at least one paging message having a coverage enhancement class different from the maximum coverage enhancement class; combining the at least one paging message having a coverage enhancement level different from the maximum coverage enhancement level with the unique paging message having the maximum coverage enhancement level to obtain a combined paging message; and then transmitting the synthesized paging message in N time intervals corresponding to the only paging message with the maximum coverage enhancement grade.
In addition, it should be added that, when the paging message is scheduled across subframes through Downlink Control Information (DCI), the DCI data may use the transmission mode of the paging message; the DCI data is carried in an Enhanced downlink control channel (EPDCCH). For example, if the cross-subframe scheduling mode of DCI is implemented, the number of time intervals occupied by the repeated transmission of the paging message in the coverage enhancement level is equal to the number of time intervals occupied by the repeated transmission of the DCI in the coverage enhancement level, and the narrowband for the repeated transmission of the paging message is equal to the EPDCCH narrowband for the repeated transmission of DCI data. For FDD systems, if subframe 0/4/5/9 is used for repeated transmission of paging messages, repeated transmission equivalent to DCI must also be limited to the extent of subframe 0/4/5/9.
Further, the manner of repeatedly transmitting the paging message may be a narrowband frequency hopping manner. Specifically, in the narrowband frequency hopping mode, the narrowband frequency hopping mode needs to be started, and the frequency hopping interval is equal to M time intervals. Wherein, M is a natural number greater than or equal to 1, and the number N of time intervals occupied by the repeated transmission of the paging message under any coverage enhancement level is integral multiple of M; the hopping interval is preset or indicated to the UE by broadcasted system parameters. In practical applications, regardless of the situation of the subframes available for the repeated transmission of the paging message in the time interval, the repeated transmission of the paging message in different coverage enhancement classes usually always occupies N time intervals, so it should be preferable to define the frequency hopping interval for the repeated transmission of the paging message always to be M time intervals.
In an embodiment, when the manner of repeatedly transmitting the paging message is a narrowband frequency hopping manner, the method further includes: for an FDD system, when the narrowband frequency hopping mode is on, if the available subframes are subframe 0, subframe 4, subframe 5, and subframe 9, a new frame timing corresponding to the paging message is determined. For example, as shown in fig. 5, the new radio frame subframe 0 corresponds to the existing radio frame subframe 4, and there is an offset of 3 subframes between the new radio frame and the existing radio frame timing. In this way, when a jump (recovery) for different narrowband transmissions occurs at a radio frame, or half-frame boundary, the duration of three subframes may be used for the recovery operation to ensure sufficient recovery time.
In an embodiment, when the manner of repeatedly transmitting the paging message is a frequency hopping manner, the method further includes: when the narrowband frequency hopping mode is started, if the paging message and the broadcast and/or unicast data except the paging message adopt the overlapped narrowband set, the paging message is repeatedly transmitted in a mode that the paging message and the broadcast and/or unicast data except the paging message share the frequency hopping interval. Therefore, the resource alignment can be further ensured, and the resource utilization efficiency is favorably improved.
Within the frequency hopping interval, multi-subframe channel estimation at the UE side can be applied to improve channel estimation performance even if not all subframes within the frequency hopping interval are used for paging message transmission.
It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the paging narrowband according to the embodiment of the present invention is a physical narrowband. Wherein, in case of turning on a narrowband frequency hopping function for repeatedly transmitting the paging message, the paging message may be transmitted in the same or different physical narrowband for different time intervals.
Therefore, the data transmission method of the embodiment of the invention can greatly reduce the transmission delay of the paging message and avoid the long-time occupation of the radio resources by the repeatedly transmitted paging message, thereby improving the cooperative scheduling capability of the radio resources and reducing the influence on the normal transmission of other broadcast and/or unicast data.
Please revise the device portion based on the revised methods portion.

the acquiring module 601 is configured to acquire a time interval number N occupied by repeated transmission of the paging message in the coverage enhancement level; wherein N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.
Specifically, the obtaining module 601 obtains the number N of time intervals occupied by the repeated transmission of the paging message in the coverage enhancement level in a manner of indicating the broadcasted paging system parameter to the UE; or implicitly determining the number N of time intervals occupied by repeated transmission of the paging message under the coverage enhancement level according to the available subframes;
the determining module 602 specifically partitions all time intervals within the range of each paging Cycle size P _ Cycle by taking N time intervals as granularity; determining one of all time interval blocks according to the UE identification; the N time intervals for repeatedly transmitting the paging message are N continuous time intervals contained in the block; the Paging Cycle value is indicated by a broadcasted system parameter or UE (user equipment) proprietary signaling and is an integral multiple of the time interval number occupied by the repeated transmission of the Paging message with the maximum coverage enhancement level.
Here, the determining module 602 is configured to determine one of all time interval blocks according to the UE identity, and includes:
determining a first time interval according to the coverage enhancement level and the identity of the UE; determining N consecutive time intervals beginning with the first time interval as time interval blocks of the repeated transmission of the paging message.
The transmitting module 603 is configured to repeatedly transmit the paging message on the determined available subframes in the N time intervals and the determined paging narrowband;

Here, the manner used by the transmission module 603 to repeatedly transmit the paging message may be a narrowband frequency hopping manner.
In an application example, as shown in fig. 6, the determining module 602 is further configured to determine, for an FDD system, when the narrowband frequency hopping mode is turned on, if the available subframes are subframe 0, subframe 4, subframe 5, and subframe 9, a new frame timing corresponding to the paging message.
In an application example, as shown in fig. 6, the transmitting module 603 is further configured to, when the narrowband frequency hopping mode is turned on, if the paging message and the broadcast and/or unicast data except for the paging message adopt overlapping narrowband sets, repeatedly transmit the paging message in a manner that the paging message and the broadcast and/or unicast data except for the paging message share a frequency hopping interval.
