Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及通信技术领域,具体而言,涉及一种非授权频段上基于动态帧结构的上行HARQ反馈方法、一种非授权频段上基于动态帧结构的上行HARQ反馈装置和一种基站。The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, in particular to an uplink HARQ feedback method based on a dynamic frame structure on an unlicensed frequency band, an uplink HARQ feedback device based on a dynamic frame structure on an unlicensed frequency band, and a base station.
背景技术Background technique
随着通信业务量的急剧增加,3GPP授权频谱显得越来越不足以提供更高的网络容量。为了进一步提高频谱资源的利用,3GPP提出了LAA(LTE Assisted Access,LTE辅助接入)的概念,用于借助LTE(Long Term Evolution,长期演进)授权频谱的帮助来使用未授权频谱。为了使LTE系统与非授权频段上的诸如Wi-Fi等异系统和谐共存,3GPP又提出了LBT(Listen Before Talk,先听后说)机制,以通过竞争信道使用权的方式保证非授权频段上的不同系统使用频谱资源的公平性。其中,LTE系统在非授权频谱的工作方式可以是TDD(Time Division Duplexing,时分双工)模式、补充下行(SDL,Supplemental Downlink)模式或者是动态上下行的模式。With the rapid increase of communication traffic, the 3GPP authorized spectrum is increasingly insufficient to provide higher network capacity. In order to further improve the utilization of spectrum resources, 3GPP proposes the concept of LAA (LTE Assisted Access, LTE Assisted Access), which is used to use unlicensed spectrum with the help of LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) licensed spectrum. In order to make the LTE system coexist harmoniously with different systems such as Wi-Fi on the unlicensed frequency band, 3GPP proposed the LBT (Listen Before Talk, Listen Before Talk) mechanism to ensure that the unlicensed frequency band The fairness of using spectrum resources by different systems. Wherein, the working mode of the LTE system in the unlicensed spectrum may be a TDD (Time Division Duplexing, Time Division Duplexing) mode, a supplemental downlink (SDL, Supplemental Downlink) mode or a dynamic uplink and downlink mode.
其中,TD-LTE的物理层帧结构为10ms,包含了两个5ms的半帧,其上下行子帧配置如表1所示:Among them, the physical layer frame structure of TD-LTE is 10ms, including two half-frames of 5ms, and its uplink and downlink subframe configuration is shown in Table 1:
表1Table 1
如表1所示,对于5ms下行到上行转换周期的TDD结构,1个帧包含8个正常子帧和2个特殊子帧,并且8个正常子帧到底是用于上行还是下行可以参考表1。而对于10ms下行到上行转换周期的TDD结构,1个帧包含9个正常子帧和一个特殊子帧,并且9个正常子帧到底是用于上行还是下行可以参考表1,每个正常子帧又包含14个symbol(符号)。As shown in Table 1, for a TDD structure with a 5ms downlink-to-uplink conversion period, one frame contains 8 normal subframes and 2 special subframes, and whether the 8 normal subframes are used for uplink or downlink can refer to Table 1 . For the TDD structure with a 10ms downlink-to-uplink conversion period, a frame contains 9 normal subframes and a special subframe, and whether the 9 normal subframes are used for uplink or downlink can refer to Table 1. Each normal subframe It also contains 14 symbols (symbols).
HARQ(Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request,混合自动重传请求)机制是LTE系统中保证传输可靠性的重要组成部分,而不同子帧配置中的HARQ进程时序保证了时频资源被高效利用。传统的上行HARQ时序采取的是同步HARQ,一个HARQ进程的传输和重传发生具有固定的时序关系,由于接收端预先已知传输的发生时刻,因此不需要额外的信令来表示HARQ进程号。协议对上行同步HARQ定义了两个时序关系,一个是从基站在PDCCH(PhysicalDownlink Control Channel,物理下行控制信道)上发上行调度指令到终端发送相应上行数据的时序关系,另一个是从终端发送上行数据到基站反馈ACK/NACK的时序关系。其中,表2给出了这两种时序关系:The HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request) mechanism is an important part of ensuring transmission reliability in the LTE system, and the timing of the HARQ process in different subframe configurations ensures efficient use of time-frequency resources. The traditional uplink HARQ timing adopts synchronous HARQ. The transmission and retransmission of a HARQ process have a fixed timing relationship. Since the receiving end knows the time when the transmission occurs in advance, no additional signaling is required to indicate the HARQ process number. The protocol defines two timing relationships for uplink synchronous HARQ, one is the timing relationship from the base station sending the uplink scheduling command on the PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) to the terminal sending the corresponding uplink data, and the other is from the terminal sending the uplink The timing relationship of ACK/NACK feedback from data to the base station. Among them, Table 2 shows the two timing relationships:
表2Table 2
如表2所示,表格中的数字-k1/k2/k3分别代表:如果在子帧号为n的子帧上传输数据,则PUSCH(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,物理上行共享信道)的上行调度信令(即UL grant)在子帧号为n-k1的子帧中传输;PHICH(Physical Hybrid ARQ IndicatorChannel,物理HARQ指示信道)中的ACK/NACK信息在子帧号为n+k2的子帧中传输;同步重传在子帧号为n+k3的子帧上进行。若n-k1<0,则在前一个无线帧中子帧号为n-k1+10的子帧中传输上行调度信令;若出现n+k2>9的情况,则说明应当在当前无线帧之后的第一个无线帧中子帧号为(n+k2)%10的子帧上反馈ACK/NACK信息(%是求余符号);若出现n+k3>9的情况,则说明应当在当前无线帧之后的第一个无线帧中子帧号为(n+k3)%10的子帧上进行同步重传(%是求余符号);当n+k3>19时,则在当前无线帧之后的第二个无线帧中子帧号为(n+k)%10的子帧上进行同步重传。As shown in Table 2, the numbers -k1/k2/k3 in the table respectively represent: if the data is transmitted on the subframe whose subframe number is n, the uplink scheduling signal of PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, physical uplink shared channel) The command (ie UL grant) is transmitted in the subframe with the subframe number n-k1; the ACK/NACK information in the PHICH (Physical Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel, physical HARQ indicator channel) is in the subframe with the subframe number n+k2 Transmission; synchronous retransmission is performed on the subframe whose subframe number is n+k3. If n-k1<0, transmit the uplink scheduling signaling in the subframe whose subframe number is n-k1+10 in the previous radio frame; ACK/NACK information is fed back on the subframe whose subframe number is (n+k2)%10 in the first wireless frame after that (% is the remainder symbol); if n+k3>9 occurs, it means that it should be in Synchronous retransmission is performed on the subframe whose subframe number is (n+k3)%10 in the first radio frame after the current radio frame (% is a remainder symbol); when n+k3>19, then in the current radio frame Synchronous retransmission is performed on the subframe whose subframe number is (n+k)%10 in the second radio frame after the frame.
随着互联网技术的发展,通信业务量会急剧增长,业务类型更加多变。在LAA微型小区的环境下,由于小区内用户数量较少,并且随着数据业务的发展,上下行业务具有突发性的特点,即上下行业务之间很难保持一个稳定的业务比例。在这种情况下,TD-LTE静态配置子帧的方式不能很好的适应这种业务突发性带来的变化,造成资源的浪费,频谱效率的下降。With the development of Internet technology, the volume of communication services will increase dramatically, and the types of services will become more varied. In the LAA micro-cell environment, due to the small number of users in the cell and the development of data services, the uplink and downlink services are bursty, that is, it is difficult to maintain a stable business ratio between uplink and downlink services. In this case, TD-LTE's way of statically configuring subframes cannot well adapt to the changes brought about by the suddenness of such services, resulting in waste of resources and a decrease in spectrum efficiency.
因此,为了更好的解决业务的突发性带来的问题,需要一种小区间灵活、自适应的上下行子帧配置方式,比如可以采用完全动态化的TDD配置,完全动态化的TDD配置是根据小区当前上下行的业务量比例动态确定未来一段时间内的子帧配置。但是,在完全动态化的TDD中,并没有一套完善的上行HARQ反馈时序来保证上行数据稳定有序的传输。Therefore, in order to better solve the problems caused by the suddenness of services, a flexible and adaptive uplink and downlink subframe configuration method between cells is needed. For example, fully dynamic TDD configuration and fully dynamic TDD configuration can be used. It dynamically determines the subframe configuration for a period of time in the future according to the current uplink and downlink business volume ratio of the cell. However, in fully dynamic TDD, there is no complete uplink HARQ feedback sequence to ensure stable and orderly transmission of uplink data.
发明内容Contents of the invention
本发明正是基于上述技术问题至少之一,提出了一种新的非授权频段上基于动态帧结构的上行HARQ反馈方法及装置,可以针对在非授权频段以动态帧结构进行工作的场景,提出完善的上行HARQ反馈方案,进而能够保证上行数据稳定有序的传输。Based on at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention proposes a new uplink HARQ feedback method and device based on a dynamic frame structure in an unlicensed frequency band, which can aim at the scene of working with a dynamic frame structure in an unlicensed frequency band. The perfect uplink HARQ feedback scheme can ensure the stable and orderly transmission of uplink data.
有鉴于此,根据本发明的第一方面,提出了一种非授权频段上基于动态帧结构的上行HARQ反馈方法,其中,在所述非授权频段上采用的每种帧结构中仅包含上行子帧和下行子帧,且所述每种帧结构中包含的同一类型的子帧连续设置,所述上行HARQ反馈方法,包括:判断当前在非授权频段上使用的帧结构是否需要进行重配置;在判定当前在非授权频段上使用的帧结构不需要进行重配置时,根据当前使用的帧结构,确定每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧;在判定当前在非授权频段上使用的帧结构需要进行重配置时,根据重配置时间点之前使用的第一帧结构和将要使用的第二帧结构,确定所述重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧;若接收到终端在任一上行子帧上发送的上行数据,则在所述任一上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧上发送针对所述上行数据的HARQ反馈消息。In view of this, according to the first aspect of the present invention, an uplink HARQ feedback method based on a dynamic frame structure on an unlicensed frequency band is proposed, wherein each frame structure adopted on the unlicensed frequency band only contains uplink frames and downlink subframes, and the subframes of the same type contained in each frame structure are continuously set, and the uplink HARQ feedback method includes: judging whether the frame structure currently used on the unlicensed frequency band needs to be reconfigured; When it is determined that the frame structure currently used in the unlicensed frequency band does not need to be reconfigured, according to the currently used frame structure, determine the downlink subframe corresponding to each uplink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback; When the frame structure used above needs to be reconfigured, according to the first frame structure used before the reconfiguration time point and the second frame structure to be used, determine each uplink in the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point The downlink subframe corresponding to the subframe for uplink HARQ feedback; if the uplink data sent by the terminal on any uplink subframe is received, the downlink subframe corresponding to any uplink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback is sent. The HARQ feedback message of the uplink data.
在该技术方案中,由于在非授权频段上采用的每种帧结构中仅包含上行子帧和下行子帧,即舍弃了由下行到上行转换的特殊子帧,因此使得时频资源能够得到充分利用;由于在非授权频段工作时需要进行信道检测,因此通过将每种帧结构中包含的同一类型的子帧连续设置,即将每种帧结构中的上行子帧和下行子帧分别连续设置,使得每次占用信道资源后能够最大化信道占用时间,进而能够最大化瞬时吞吐量。In this technical solution, because each frame structure adopted on the unlicensed frequency band only includes uplink subframes and downlink subframes, that is, the special subframes converted from downlink to uplink are discarded, so that time-frequency resources can be fully obtained. Utilization; since channel detection is required when working in an unlicensed frequency band, by continuously setting the subframes of the same type contained in each frame structure, that is, the uplink subframes and downlink subframes in each frame structure are respectively continuously set, The channel occupancy time can be maximized each time the channel resources are occupied, and thus the instantaneous throughput can be maximized.
其中,满足上述条件的帧结构有如下几种:UDDDDDDDDD、UUDDDDDDDD、UUUDDDDDDD、UUUUDDDDDD、UUUUUDDDDD、UUUUUUDDDD、UUUUUUUDDD、UUUUUUUUDD、UUUUUUUUUD。Among them, the frame structures that meet the above conditions are as follows: UDDDDDDDDD, UUDDDDDDDDD, UUUDDDDDDD, UUUUDDDDDDD, UUUUUDDDDD, UUUUUUDDDD, UUUUUUUDDD, UUUUUUUUDD, UUUUUUUUUD.
由于本发明在非授权频段上采用的是动态帧结构,即可以根据上下行业务量动态配置帧结构,因此在不需要对帧结构进行重配置时,直接根据当前使用的帧结构来确定每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧;而在需要对帧结构进行重配置时,重配置时间点之前和之后使用的帧结构可能会发生变化,因此在确定重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的上行HARQ反馈时序时,需要考虑到重配置时间点之前和之后使用的帧结构。可见,在本发明的技术方案中,针对非授权频段上需要对帧结构进行重配置和不需要进行重配置的情况,分别提出了确定上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧的方案,即本发明的技术方案针对在非授权频段以动态帧结构进行工作的场景,提出了一种完善的上行HARQ反馈方案,进而能够保证上行数据稳定有序的传输。Since the present invention adopts a dynamic frame structure on the unlicensed frequency band, that is, the frame structure can be dynamically configured according to the uplink and downlink traffic, so when the frame structure does not need to be reconfigured, each frame structure can be determined directly according to the currently used frame structure. The uplink subframe corresponds to the downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback; when the frame structure needs to be reconfigured, the frame structure used before and after the reconfiguration time point may change, so before determining the reconfiguration time point When the uplink HARQ feedback timing in the last radio frame needs to take into account the frame structures used before and after the reconfiguration time point. It can be seen that in the technical solution of the present invention, in view of the situation that the frame structure needs to be reconfigured and does not need to be reconfigured on the unlicensed frequency band, a scheme of determining the downlink subframe corresponding to the uplink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback is proposed , that is, the technical solution of the present invention proposes a perfect uplink HARQ feedback scheme for the scenario of working in an unlicensed frequency band with a dynamic frame structure, thereby ensuring stable and orderly transmission of uplink data.
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述根据当前使用的帧结构,确定每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧的步骤,具体包括:根据与当前使用的帧结构相对应的上行HARQ反馈时序,确定每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。In the above technical solution, preferably, the step of determining the downlink subframe corresponding to each uplink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback according to the currently used frame structure specifically includes: according to the currently used frame structure corresponding to The uplink HARQ feedback timing determines the downlink subframe corresponding to each uplink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback.
在该技术方案中,针对本发明提出的几种帧结构,可以分别定义不同的上行HARQ反馈时序,因此在不需要对帧结构进行重配置时,可以根据与当前使用的帧结构相对应的上行HARQ反馈时序来确定每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。In this technical solution, for several frame structures proposed by the present invention, different uplink HARQ feedback timings can be defined respectively. Therefore, when the frame structure does not need to be reconfigured, the uplink HARQ feedback sequence corresponding to the currently used frame structure can be used. The HARQ feedback timing is used to determine the downlink subframe corresponding to each uplink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback.
在上述任一技术方案中,优选地,所述根据重配置时间点之前使用的第一帧结构和将要使用的第二帧结构,确定所述重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧的步骤,具体包括:根据所述第一帧结构中的下行子帧的个数和所述第二帧结构中的下行子帧的个数,确定所述重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。In any of the above technical solutions, preferably, according to the first frame structure used before the reconfiguration time point and the second frame structure to be used, determine each The step of performing uplink HARQ feedback on downlink subframes corresponding to uplink subframes specifically includes: according to the number of downlink subframes in the first frame structure and the number of downlink subframes in the second frame structure , determining a downlink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback corresponding to each uplink subframe in the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point.
在该技术方案中,当需要进行重配置时,重配置时间点之前和之后使用的帧结构可能会发生变化,即帧结构中的下行子帧和上行子帧的个数会发生变化,因此为了保证上行HARQ反馈时序的稳定有序,避免上行HARQ反馈时序冲突的问题,需要根据重配置时间点之前和之后使用的帧结构中的下行子帧的个数,确定在重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。In this technical solution, when reconfiguration is required, the frame structure used before and after the reconfiguration time point may change, that is, the number of downlink subframes and uplink subframes in the frame structure will change, so for To ensure the stability and order of the uplink HARQ feedback timing and avoid the problem of uplink HARQ feedback timing conflict, it is necessary to determine the last Each uplink subframe in a radio frame corresponds to a downlink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback.
在上述技术方案中,优选地,在所述第一帧结构中的下行子帧的个数小于或等于所述第二帧结构中的下行子帧的个数时,根据与所述第一帧结构相对应的上行HARQ反馈时序,确定所述重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧;以及在所述第一帧结构中的下行子帧的个数大于所述第二帧结构中的下行子帧的个数时,根据与所述第二帧结构相对应的上行HARQ反馈时序,确定所述重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。In the above technical solution, preferably, when the number of downlink subframes in the first frame structure is less than or equal to the number of downlink subframes in the second frame structure, according to the Uplink HARQ feedback timing corresponding to the structure, determining the downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback corresponding to each uplink subframe in the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point; and in the first frame structure When the number of downlink subframes is greater than the number of downlink subframes in the second frame structure, determine the last subframe before the reconfiguration time point according to the uplink HARQ feedback timing corresponding to the second frame structure Each uplink subframe in the radio frame corresponds to a downlink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback.
在该技术方案中,当重配置时间点之前使用的第一帧结构中的下行子帧的个数小于或等于将要使用的第二帧结构中的下行子帧的个数时,则重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧的上行HARQ反馈时序可以仍然采用第一帧结构对应的上行HARQ反馈时序,这样能够保证在重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧都存在与之对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。而在重配置时间点之前使用的第一帧结构中的下行子帧的个数大于将要使用的第二帧结构中的下行子帧的个数时,为了保证重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧都存在与之对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧,则可以根据重配置时间点之后使用的第二帧结构对应的上行HARQ反馈时序,来确定重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。In this technical solution, when the number of downlink subframes in the first frame structure used before the reconfiguration time point is less than or equal to the number of downlink subframes in the second frame structure to be used, the reconfiguration time The uplink HARQ feedback timing of the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point can still use the uplink HARQ feedback timing corresponding to the first frame structure, which can ensure that each uplink subframe in the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point has the same The corresponding downlink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback. When the number of downlink subframes in the first frame structure used before the reconfiguration time point is greater than the number of downlink subframes in the second frame structure to be used, in order to ensure that the last wireless subframe before the reconfiguration time point Each uplink subframe in the frame has a corresponding downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback, then the reconfiguration time point can be determined according to the uplink HARQ feedback timing sequence corresponding to the second frame structure used after the reconfiguration time point Each uplink subframe in the previous last radio frame corresponds to a downlink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback.
在上述任一技术方案中,优选地,所述每个上行子帧与对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧之间的子帧间隔大于或等于3。In any of the above technical solutions, preferably, the subframe interval between each uplink subframe and the corresponding downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback is greater than or equal to 3.
在该技术方案中,由于信息的传输时间加上基站的计算处理时间至少需要3ms,因此每个上行子帧与对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧之间的子帧间隔应大于或等于3,比如子帧号为n的是上行子帧,则子帧n对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的最近的下行子帧应该是n+4(与子帧n之前间隔了3个子帧)。In this technical solution, since the information transmission time plus the calculation and processing time of the base station requires at least 3 ms, the subframe interval between each uplink subframe and the corresponding downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback should be greater than or equal to 3 , for example, the subframe number n is an uplink subframe, then the nearest downlink subframe corresponding to subframe n for uplink HARQ feedback should be n+4 (3 subframes before subframe n).
在上述任一技术方案中,优选地,若在非授权频段上使用的帧结构中包含有多个下行子帧,则在所述多个下行子帧上分别发送的上行HARQ反馈消息的数量均衡。In any of the above technical solutions, preferably, if the frame structure used on the unlicensed frequency band contains multiple downlink subframes, the number of uplink HARQ feedback messages sent on the multiple downlink subframes is balanced .
在该技术方案中,通过使多个下行子帧分别发送的上行HARQ反馈消息的数量均衡,可以避免在某个下行子帧上的HARQ信令开销过大的问题。In this technical solution, the problem of excessive HARQ signaling overhead on a certain downlink subframe can be avoided by balancing the number of uplink HARQ feedback messages respectively sent in multiple downlink subframes.
根据本发明的第二方面,还提出了一种非授权频段上基于动态帧结构的上行HARQ反馈装置,其中,在所述非授权频段上采用的每种帧结构中仅包含上行子帧和下行子帧,且所述每种帧结构中包含的同一类型的子帧连续设置,所述上行HARQ反馈装置,包括:判断单元,用于判断当前在非授权频段上使用的帧结构是否需要进行重配置;第一确定单元,用于在所述判断单元判定当前在非授权频段上使用的帧结构不需要进行重配置时,根据当前使用的帧结构,确定每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧;第二确定单元,用于在所述判断单元判定当前在非授权频段上使用的帧结构需要进行重配置时,根据重配置时间点之前使用的第一帧结构和将要使用的第二帧结构,确定所述重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧;发送单元,用于当接收到终端在任一上行子帧上发送的上行数据时,在所述任一上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧上发送针对所述上行数据的HARQ反馈消息。According to the second aspect of the present invention, an uplink HARQ feedback device based on a dynamic frame structure on an unlicensed frequency band is also proposed, wherein each frame structure adopted on the unlicensed frequency band only includes uplink subframes and downlink Subframes, and the subframes of the same type contained in each frame structure are continuously set, the uplink HARQ feedback device includes: a judging unit, used to judge whether the frame structure currently used on the unlicensed frequency band needs to be re-configured Configuration; the first determining unit is used to determine, according to the currently used frame structure, that each uplink subframe corresponds to the uplink HARQ when the judging unit determines that the frame structure currently used on the unlicensed frequency band does not need to be reconfigured Feedback downlink subframe; a second determining unit, configured to, when the judging unit determines that the frame structure currently used on the unlicensed frequency band needs to be reconfigured, according to the first frame structure used before the reconfiguration time point and the frame structure to be used The second frame structure, determining the downlink subframe corresponding to each uplink subframe in the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point for uplink HARQ feedback; When the uplink data is sent on the frame, the HARQ feedback message for the uplink data is sent on the downlink subframe corresponding to any uplink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback.
在该技术方案中,由于在非授权频段上采用的每种帧结构中仅包含上行子帧和下行子帧,即舍弃了由下行到上行转换的特殊子帧,因此使得时频资源能够得到充分利用;由于在非授权频段工作时需要进行信道检测,因此通过将每种帧结构中包含的同一类型的子帧连续设置,即将每种帧结构中的上行子帧和下行子帧分别连续设置,使得每次占用信道资源后能够最大化信道占用时间,进而能够最大化瞬时吞吐量。In this technical solution, because each frame structure adopted on the unlicensed frequency band only includes uplink subframes and downlink subframes, that is, the special subframes converted from downlink to uplink are discarded, so that time-frequency resources can be fully obtained. Utilization; since channel detection is required when working in an unlicensed frequency band, by continuously setting the subframes of the same type contained in each frame structure, that is, the uplink subframes and downlink subframes in each frame structure are respectively continuously set, The channel occupancy time can be maximized each time the channel resources are occupied, and thus the instantaneous throughput can be maximized.
其中,满足上述条件的帧结构有如下几种:UDDDDDDDDD、UUDDDDDDDD、UUUDDDDDDD、UUUUDDDDDD、UUUUUDDDDD、UUUUUUDDDD、UUUUUUUDDD、UUUUUUUUDD、UUUUUUUUUD。Among them, the frame structures that meet the above conditions are as follows: UDDDDDDDDD, UUDDDDDDDDD, UUUDDDDDDD, UUUUDDDDDDD, UUUUUDDDDD, UUUUUUDDDD, UUUUUUUDDD, UUUUUUUUDD, UUUUUUUUUD.
由于本发明在非授权频段上采用的是动态帧结构,即可以根据上下行业务量动态配置帧结构,因此在不需要对帧结构进行重配置时,直接根据当前使用的帧结构来确定每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧;而在需要对帧结构进行重配置时,重配置时间点之前和之后使用的帧结构可能会发生变化,因此在确定重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的上行HARQ反馈时序时,需要考虑到重配置时间点之前和之后使用的帧结构。可见,在本发明的技术方案中,针对非授权频段上需要对帧结构进行重配置和不需要进行重配置的情况,分别提出了确定上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧的方案,即本发明的技术方案针对在非授权频段以动态帧结构进行工作的场景,提出了一种完善的上行HARQ反馈方案,进而能够保证上行数据稳定有序的传输。Since the present invention adopts a dynamic frame structure on the unlicensed frequency band, that is, the frame structure can be dynamically configured according to the uplink and downlink traffic, so when the frame structure does not need to be reconfigured, each frame structure can be determined directly according to the currently used frame structure. The uplink subframe corresponds to the downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback; when the frame structure needs to be reconfigured, the frame structure used before and after the reconfiguration time point may change, so before determining the reconfiguration time point When the uplink HARQ feedback timing in the last radio frame needs to take into account the frame structures used before and after the reconfiguration time point. It can be seen that in the technical solution of the present invention, in view of the situation that the frame structure needs to be reconfigured and does not need to be reconfigured on the unlicensed frequency band, a scheme of determining the downlink subframe corresponding to the uplink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback is proposed , that is, the technical solution of the present invention proposes a perfect uplink HARQ feedback scheme for the scenario of working in an unlicensed frequency band with a dynamic frame structure, thereby ensuring stable and orderly transmission of uplink data.
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述第一确定单元具体用于:根据与当前使用的帧结构相对应的上行HARQ反馈时序,确定每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。In the above technical solution, preferably, the first determination unit is specifically configured to: determine the downlink subframe corresponding to each uplink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback according to the uplink HARQ feedback timing corresponding to the currently used frame structure .
在该技术方案中,针对本发明提出的几种帧结构,可以分别定义不同的上行HARQ反馈时序,因此在不需要对帧结构进行重配置时,可以根据与当前使用的帧结构相对应的上行HARQ反馈时序来确定每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。In this technical solution, for several frame structures proposed by the present invention, different uplink HARQ feedback timings can be defined respectively. Therefore, when the frame structure does not need to be reconfigured, the uplink HARQ feedback sequence corresponding to the currently used frame structure can be used. The HARQ feedback timing is used to determine the downlink subframe corresponding to each uplink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback.
在上述任一技术方案中,优选地,所述第二确定单元具体用于:根据所述第一帧结构中的下行子帧的个数和所述第二帧结构中的下行子帧的个数,确定所述重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。In any of the above technical solutions, preferably, the second determining unit is specifically configured to: according to the number of downlink subframes in the first frame structure and the number of downlink subframes in the second frame structure Determine the downlink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback corresponding to each uplink subframe in the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point.
在该技术方案中,当需要进行重配置时,重配置时间点之前和之后使用的帧结构可能会发生变化,即帧结构中的下行子帧和上行子帧的个数会发生变化,因此为了保证上行HARQ反馈时序的稳定有序,避免HARQ反馈时序冲突的问题,需要根据重配置时间点之前和之后使用的帧结构中的下行子帧的个数,确定在重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。In this technical solution, when reconfiguration is required, the frame structure used before and after the reconfiguration time point may change, that is, the number of downlink subframes and uplink subframes in the frame structure will change, so for To ensure the stability and order of the uplink HARQ feedback timing and avoid the problem of HARQ feedback timing conflicts, it is necessary to determine the last subframe before the reconfiguration time point according to the number of downlink subframes in the frame structure used before and after the reconfiguration time point. Each uplink subframe in the radio frame corresponds to a downlink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback.
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述第二确定单元具体还用于:在所述第一帧结构中的下行子帧的个数小于或等于所述第二帧结构中的下行子帧的个数时,根据与所述第一帧结构相对应的上行HARQ反馈时序,确定所述重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧;以及In the above technical solution, preferably, the second determining unit is further configured: the number of downlink subframes in the first frame structure is less than or equal to the number of downlink subframes in the second frame structure When the number is large, according to the uplink HARQ feedback timing corresponding to the first frame structure, determine the downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback corresponding to each uplink subframe in the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point ;as well as
在所述第一帧结构中的下行子帧的个数大于所述第二帧结构中的下行子帧的个数时,根据与所述第二帧结构相对应的上行HARQ反馈时序,确定所述重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。When the number of downlink subframes in the first frame structure is greater than the number of downlink subframes in the second frame structure, according to the uplink HARQ feedback timing corresponding to the second frame structure, determine the Each uplink subframe in the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point corresponds to a downlink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback.
在该技术方案中,当重配置时间点之前使用的第一帧结构中的下行子帧的个数小于或等于将要使用的第二帧结构中的下行子帧的个数时,则重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧的上行HARQ反馈时序可以仍然采用第一帧结构对应的上行HARQ反馈时序,这样能够保证在重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧都存在与之对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。而在重配置时间点之前使用的第一帧结构中的下行子帧的个数大于将要使用的第二帧结构中的下行子帧的个数时,为了保证重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧存在与之对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧,则可以根据重配置时间点之后使用的第二帧结构对应的上行HARQ反馈时序,来确定重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。In this technical solution, when the number of downlink subframes in the first frame structure used before the reconfiguration time point is less than or equal to the number of downlink subframes in the second frame structure to be used, the reconfiguration time The uplink HARQ feedback timing of the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point can still use the uplink HARQ feedback timing corresponding to the first frame structure, which can ensure that each uplink subframe in the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point has the same The corresponding downlink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback. When the number of downlink subframes in the first frame structure used before the reconfiguration time point is greater than the number of downlink subframes in the second frame structure to be used, in order to ensure that the last wireless subframe before the reconfiguration time point Each uplink subframe in the frame has a corresponding downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback, then it can be determined according to the uplink HARQ feedback timing corresponding to the second frame structure used after the reconfiguration time point. Each uplink subframe in the last radio frame of , corresponds to a downlink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback.
在上述任一技术方案中,优选地,所述每个上行子帧与对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧之间的子帧间隔大于或等于3。In any of the above technical solutions, preferably, the subframe interval between each uplink subframe and the corresponding downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback is greater than or equal to 3.
在该技术方案中,由于信息的传输时间加上基站的计算处理时间至少需要3ms,因此每个上行子帧与对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧之间的子帧间隔应大于或等于3,比如子帧号为n的是上行子帧,则子帧n对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的最近的下行子帧应该是n+4(与子帧n之前间隔了3个子帧)。In this technical solution, since the information transmission time plus the calculation and processing time of the base station requires at least 3 ms, the subframe interval between each uplink subframe and the corresponding downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback should be greater than or equal to 3 , for example, the subframe number n is an uplink subframe, then the nearest downlink subframe corresponding to subframe n for uplink HARQ feedback should be n+4 (3 subframes before subframe n).
在上述任一技术方案中,优选地,若在非授权频段上使用的帧结构中包含有多个下行子帧,则在所述多个下行子帧上分别发送的上行HARQ反馈消息的数量均衡。In any of the above technical solutions, preferably, if the frame structure used on the unlicensed frequency band contains multiple downlink subframes, the number of uplink HARQ feedback messages sent on the multiple downlink subframes is balanced .
在该技术方案中,通过使多个下行子帧分别发送的上行HARQ反馈消息的数量均衡,可以避免在某个下行子帧上的HARQ信令开销过大的问题。In this technical solution, the problem of excessive HARQ signaling overhead on a certain downlink subframe can be avoided by balancing the number of uplink HARQ feedback messages respectively sent in multiple downlink subframes.
根据本发明的第三方面,还提出了一种基站,包括:如上述技术方案中任一项所述的非授权频段上基于动态帧结构的上行HARQ反馈装置。According to a third aspect of the present invention, a base station is also proposed, including: the uplink HARQ feedback device based on a dynamic frame structure in an unlicensed frequency band as described in any one of the above technical solutions.
通过以上技术方案,可以针对在非授权频段以动态帧结构进行工作的场景,提出完善的上行HARQ反馈方案,进而能够保证上行数据稳定有序的传输。Through the above technical solutions, a complete uplink HARQ feedback solution can be proposed for the scenario of working in an unlicensed frequency band with a dynamic frame structure, thereby ensuring stable and orderly transmission of uplink data.

具体实施方式detailed description
为了能够更清楚地理解本发明的上述目的、特征和优点,下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本发明进行进一步的详细描述。需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下,本申请的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。In order to understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention more clearly, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
在下面的描述中阐述了很多具体细节以便于充分理解本发明,但是,本发明还可以采用其他不同于在此描述的其他方式来实施,因此,本发明的保护范围并不受下面公开的具体实施例的限制。In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described here. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific details disclosed below. EXAMPLE LIMITATIONS.
在本发明的技术方案中,首先提出了非授权频段上采用的动态帧结构。具体地,子帧动态变化的周期可以是动态的,比如可以是10ms、40ms等,这些帧结构主要满足以下要求:In the technical solution of the present invention, a dynamic frame structure adopted on an unlicensed frequency band is first proposed. Specifically, the period of the dynamic change of the subframe can be dynamic, for example, it can be 10ms, 40ms, etc. These frame structures mainly meet the following requirements:
1、为了保证时频资源的充分利用,在新的帧结构中没有下行到上行转换时的特殊子帧。1. In order to ensure full utilization of time-frequency resources, there is no special subframe for downlink to uplink conversion in the new frame structure.
2、由于在非授权频段上存在LBT机制,即在使用信道资源之前要进行信道检测,并且一种情况是在占用信道时遇见传输方向相反的子帧则结束信道占用。因此,新的帧结构中的上、下行子帧是连续出现的,保证每次占用信道资源后最大化信道占用时长,进而最大化上下行瞬时吞吐量。2. Due to the existence of the LBT mechanism on the unlicensed frequency band, channel detection is required before using channel resources, and in one case, the channel occupancy ends when a subframe with the opposite transmission direction is encountered when the channel is occupied. Therefore, the uplink and downlink subframes in the new frame structure appear continuously to ensure that the channel occupation time is maximized after each channel resource is occupied, thereby maximizing the uplink and downlink instantaneous throughput.
3、由于每一个上行子帧“U”都需要基站发送相应的调度信令来确定相应的编码调制方式等信息,并且上行数据对应的ACK/NACK反馈信息需要在下行子帧上发送,所以全是上行子帧的帧结构不可取;下行数据对应的反馈信息ACK/NACK需要在上行子帧中发送,所以全是下行子帧的帧结构也不可取。3. Since each uplink subframe "U" requires the base station to send corresponding scheduling signaling to determine the corresponding coding and modulation mode and other information, and the ACK/NACK feedback information corresponding to the uplink data needs to be sent on the downlink subframe, so all The frame structure of the uplink subframe is not desirable; the feedback information ACK/NACK corresponding to the downlink data needs to be sent in the uplink subframe, so the frame structure of all downlink subframes is also not desirable.
基于上述要求,本发明提出的帧结构具体包括如下几种:UDDDDDDDDD、UUDDDDDDDD、UUUDDDDDDD、UUUUDDDDDD、UUUUUDDDDD、UUUUUUDDDD、UUUUUUUDDD、UUUUUUUUDD、UUUUUUUUUD。Based on the above requirements, the frame structure proposed by the present invention specifically includes the following types: UDDDDDDDDD, UUDDDDDDDDD, UUUDDDDDDD, UUUUDDDDDD, UUUUUDDDDD, UUUUUUDDDD, UUUUUUUDDD, UUUUUUUUDD, UUUUUUUUUD.
由于是基于动态帧结构的上行HARQ反馈方案,因此在子帧重配周期到来时可能需要对后续使用的帧结构进行重配,即根据上下行业务量变化后的比例来确定后续使用的帧结构。在本发明的技术方案中将重配周期到来的时刻称为重配时间点,在非重配时间点子帧配置不做改变。Since it is an uplink HARQ feedback scheme based on a dynamic frame structure, it may be necessary to reconfigure the subsequent frame structure when the subframe reconfiguration period arrives, that is, determine the subsequent frame structure according to the ratio of the uplink and downlink traffic changes. . In the technical solution of the present invention, the moment when the reconfiguration period arrives is called the reconfiguration time point, and the subframe configuration does not change at the non-reconfiguration time point.
基于上述的帧结构,本发明提出的非授权频段上基于动态帧结构的上行HARQ反馈方法具体如图1所示,包括:Based on the above-mentioned frame structure, the uplink HARQ feedback method based on the dynamic frame structure on the unlicensed frequency band proposed by the present invention is specifically shown in Figure 1, including:
步骤S10,判断当前在非授权频段上使用的帧结构是否需要进行重配置。Step S10, judging whether the frame structure currently used in the unlicensed frequency band needs to be reconfigured.
步骤S12,在判定当前在非授权频段上使用的帧结构不需要进行重配置时,根据当前使用的帧结构,确定每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。Step S12, when it is determined that the frame structure currently used in the unlicensed frequency band does not need to be reconfigured, according to the currently used frame structure, determine the downlink subframe corresponding to each uplink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback.
其中,在本发明的一个实施例中,步骤S12具体包括:根据与当前使用的帧结构相对应的上行HARQ反馈时序,确定每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。即在不需要对帧结构进行重配置时,可以根据与当前使用的帧结构相对应的上行HARQ反馈时序来确定每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。Wherein, in one embodiment of the present invention, step S12 specifically includes: according to the uplink HARQ feedback timing corresponding to the currently used frame structure, determining the downlink subframe corresponding to each uplink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback. That is, when the frame structure does not need to be reconfigured, the downlink subframe corresponding to each uplink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback may be determined according to the uplink HARQ feedback timing corresponding to the currently used frame structure.
步骤S14,在判定当前在非授权频段上使用的帧结构需要进行重配置时,根据重配置时间点之前使用的第一帧结构和将要使用的第二帧结构,确定所述重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。Step S14, when it is determined that the frame structure currently used on the unlicensed frequency band needs to be reconfigured, according to the first frame structure used before the reconfiguration time point and the second frame structure to be used, determine the frame structure before the reconfiguration time point Each uplink subframe in the last radio frame of , corresponds to a downlink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback.
其中,在本发明的一个实施例中,步骤S14具体包括:根据所述第一帧结构中的下行子帧的个数和所述第二帧结构中的下行子帧的个数,确定所述重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。Wherein, in one embodiment of the present invention, step S14 specifically includes: according to the number of downlink subframes in the first frame structure and the number of downlink subframes in the second frame structure, determining the Each uplink subframe in the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point corresponds to a downlink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback.
具体地,在所述第一帧结构中的下行子帧的个数小于或等于所述第二帧结构中的下行子帧的个数时,根据与所述第一帧结构相对应的上行HARQ反馈时序,确定所述重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧;以及Specifically, when the number of downlink subframes in the first frame structure is less than or equal to the number of downlink subframes in the second frame structure, according to the uplink HARQ corresponding to the first frame structure Feedback timing, determining the downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback corresponding to each uplink subframe in the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point; and
在所述第一帧结构中的下行子帧的个数大于所述第二帧结构中的下行子帧的个数时,根据与所述第二帧结构相对应的上行HARQ反馈时序,确定所述重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。When the number of downlink subframes in the first frame structure is greater than the number of downlink subframes in the second frame structure, according to the uplink HARQ feedback timing corresponding to the second frame structure, determine the Each uplink subframe in the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point corresponds to a downlink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback.
其中,对于每个上行子帧与对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧之间的间隔,本发明规定如下:每个上行子帧与对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧之间的子帧间隔大于或等于3。Among them, for the interval between each uplink subframe and the corresponding downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback, the present invention stipulates as follows: the subframe between each uplink subframe and the corresponding downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback The interval is greater than or equal to 3.
具体来说,由于信息的传输时间加上基站的计算处理时间至少需要3ms,因此每个上行子帧与对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧之间的子帧间隔应大于或等于3,比如子帧号为n的是上行子帧,则子帧n对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的最近的下行子帧应该是n+4(与子帧n之前间隔了3个子帧)。Specifically, since the information transmission time plus the calculation and processing time of the base station requires at least 3ms, the subframe interval between each uplink subframe and the corresponding downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback should be greater than or equal to 3, for example The subframe number n is an uplink subframe, and the nearest downlink subframe corresponding to subframe n for uplink HARQ feedback should be n+4 (3 subframes before subframe n).
此外,为了避免在某个下行子帧上的HARQ信令开销过大的问题,当在非授权频段上使用的帧结构中包含有多个下行子帧时,在这多个下行子帧上分别发送的上行HARQ反馈消息的数量均衡。In addition, in order to avoid the problem of excessive HARQ signaling overhead on a certain downlink subframe, when the frame structure used on the unlicensed frequency band contains multiple downlink subframes, the multiple downlink subframes are respectively The number of sent uplink HARQ feedback messages is balanced.
图1所示的非授权频段上基于动态帧结构的上行HARQ反馈方法还包括:The uplink HARQ feedback method based on the dynamic frame structure on the unlicensed frequency band shown in Figure 1 also includes:
步骤S16,若接收到终端在任一上行子帧上发送的上行数据,则在所述任一上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧上发送针对所述上行数据的HARQ反馈消息。Step S16, if the uplink data sent by the terminal on any uplink subframe is received, send a HARQ feedback message for the uplink data on the downlink subframe corresponding to any uplink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback.
可见,在本发明的技术方案中,针对非授权频段上需要对帧结构进行重配置和不需要进行重配置的情况,分别提出了确定上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧的方案,即本发明的技术方案针对在非授权频段以动态帧结构进行工作的场景,提出了一种完善的上行HARQ反馈方案,进而能够保证上行数据稳定有序的传输。It can be seen that in the technical solution of the present invention, in view of the situation that the frame structure needs to be reconfigured and does not need to be reconfigured on the unlicensed frequency band, a scheme of determining the downlink subframe corresponding to the uplink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback is proposed , that is, the technical solution of the present invention proposes a perfect uplink HARQ feedback scheme for the scenario of working in an unlicensed frequency band with a dynamic frame structure, thereby ensuring stable and orderly transmission of uplink data.
以下以具体的子帧配置详细对图1中所示的方案进行阐述:The scheme shown in Figure 1 is described in detail below with specific subframe configurations:
本发明提出的9种帧结构依次为:Nine kinds of frame structures proposed by the present invention are as follows:
配置0:UDDDDDDDDD;配置1:UUDDDDDDDD;配置2:UUUDDDDDDD;配置3:UUUUDDDDDD;配置4:UUUUUDDDDD;配置5:UUUUUUDDDD;配置6:UUUUUUUDDD;配置7:UUUUUUUUDD;配置8:UUUUUUUUUD。以下针对非重配点和重配点分别进行说明:Configuration 0: UDDDDDDDDD; Configuration 1: UUDDDDDDDDD; Configuration 2: UUUDDDDDDD; Configuration 3: UUUUDDDDDDD; Configuration 4: UUUUUDDDDD; Configuration 5: UUUUUUDDDD; Configuration 6: UUUUUUUDDD; Configuration 7: UUUUUUUUDD; The following describes the non-reconfiguration point and the reconfiguration point respectively:
一、非重配点1. Non-reassignment point
在非重配点时刻,子帧配置不变,如图2所示:由于是非重配点,因此无线帧1和无线帧2都采用相同的帧结构配置,如都采用配置5。At the time of the non-reconfiguration point, the subframe configuration remains unchanged, as shown in Figure 2: since it is a non-reconfiguration point, both radio frame 1 and radio frame 2 adopt the same frame structure configuration, for example, both adopt configuration 5.
对于上述的9种帧结构,本发明提出了分别针对这9种帧结构的上行HARQ反馈时序,上行HARQ反馈时序满足以下条件:For the above nine frame structures, the present invention proposes uplink HARQ feedback timings for the nine frame structures respectively, and the uplink HARQ feedback timing satisfies the following conditions:
1、由于信息的传输时间加上终端的计算处理时间至少需要3ms,因此发送上行数据的上行子帧与对应的进行上行HARQ反馈(即反馈ACK/NACK信息)的下行子帧之间至少要相隔3个子帧。1. Since the information transmission time plus the calculation and processing time of the terminal requires at least 3ms, the uplink subframe for sending uplink data and the corresponding downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback (that is, feedback of ACK/NACK information) must be separated by at least 3 subframes.
2、在下行子帧大于1的帧结构中,针对上行数据进行的上行HARQ反馈应尽可能平均分配在这些下行子帧中发送,以免某个下行子帧上的上行HARQ反馈信令开销过大。2. In a frame structure with more than 1 downlink subframe, the uplink HARQ feedback for uplink data should be distributed among these downlink subframes as evenly as possible to avoid excessive signaling overhead of uplink HARQ feedback on a certain downlink subframe .
在上述条件的基础上,本发明提出了一种优选的上行HARQ反馈时序,具体如表3所示:On the basis of the above conditions, the present invention proposes a preferred uplink HARQ feedback timing, specifically as shown in Table 3:
表3table 3
如表3所示,表格中的数字k代表:如果PUSCH在子帧号为n的子帧上传输数据,则PHICH中的ACK/NACK信息在子帧号为n+k的子帧中传输。其中,若n+k>9,则在当前无线帧之后的第一个无线帧中子帧号为(n+k)%10的下行子帧中反馈ACK/NACK信息(%是求余符号);当n+k>19时,则在当前无线帧之后的第二个无线帧中子帧号为(n+k)%10的下行子帧中反馈ACK/NACK信息。As shown in Table 3, the number k in the table represents: if the PUSCH transmits data in the subframe with the subframe number n, then the ACK/NACK information in the PHICH is transmitted in the subframe with the subframe number n+k. Wherein, if n+k>9, the ACK/NACK information is fed back in the downlink subframe whose subframe number is (n+k)%10 in the first radio frame after the current radio frame (% is the remainder symbol) ; When n+k>19, feed back ACK/NACK information in the downlink subframe whose subframe number is (n+k)%10 in the second radio frame after the current radio frame.
二、重配点2. Reconfiguration point
在重配点时刻,子帧配置发生该变,如图3所示:重配点之前的无线帧1采用配置5,重配点之后的无线帧2采用配置3。以下将重配点之前的最后一个无线帧称为边界帧。At the time of the reconfiguration point, the subframe configuration changes, as shown in Figure 3: the radio frame 1 before the reconfiguration point adopts the configuration 5, and the radio frame 2 after the reconfiguration point adopts the configuration 3. Hereinafter, the last radio frame before the reconfiguration point is called a boundary frame.
在重配周期过后,重配点前后无线帧的HARQ时序是不一样的(除非重配点之后的子帧配置与重配点之前的一致),在两种子帧配置的过渡期间可能会发生HARQ时序冲突的情况。具体如图4所示,非授权频段上子帧结构由配置6向配置7转换,根据表3中所示的上行HARQ反馈时序可知,重配点前的边界帧中的6号上行子帧发送的上行数据对应的ACK/NACK反馈应该在重配点之后的无线帧中的7号下行子帧中反馈,但由于重配后帧结构中7号子帧变成了上行子帧,故发生了上行HARQ反馈时序的冲突问题。After the reconfiguration period, the HARQ timing of the radio frame before and after the reconfiguration point is different (unless the subframe configuration after the reconfiguration point is consistent with the one before the reconfiguration point), and the HARQ timing conflict may occur during the transition between the two subframe configurations Condition. Specifically as shown in Figure 4, the subframe structure on the unlicensed frequency band is converted from configuration 6 to configuration 7. According to the uplink HARQ feedback timing shown in Table 3, it can be known that the uplink subframe No. 6 in the boundary frame before the reconfiguration point sends The ACK/NACK feedback corresponding to the uplink data should be fed back in the No. 7 downlink subframe in the wireless frame after the reconfiguration point, but because the No. 7 subframe in the frame structure after reconfiguration becomes an uplink subframe, the uplink HARQ occurs. Feedback timing conflicts.
同时,从帧结构的配置来看,上述帧结构中的配置8到配置0的下行子帧数量依次增多,并且除了多出来的下行子帧,其他的下行子帧的位置都一致,具体如图5所示。因此,当下行子帧少的配置重配到下行子帧多的配置时,边界帧中的上行HARQ反馈时序不会受到影响;当下行子帧多的配置重配到下行子帧少的配置时,边界帧中的上行HARQ反馈时序就可能会出现冲突。At the same time, from the configuration of the frame structure, the number of downlink subframes from configuration 8 to configuration 0 in the above frame structure increases sequentially, and except for the extra downlink subframes, the positions of other downlink subframes are the same, as shown in the figure 5. Therefore, when the configuration with fewer downlink subframes is reconfigured to the configuration with more downlink subframes, the uplink HARQ feedback timing in the boundary frame will not be affected; when the configuration with more downlink subframes is reconfigured to the configuration with fewer downlink subframes , the uplink HARQ feedback timing in the boundary frame may conflict.
因此本发明提出的解决方案是:Therefore the solution that the present invention proposes is:
1、当重配点后的帧结构中的下行子帧数量大于或等于重配点前的帧结构中的下行子帧数量时,边界帧的上行HARQ反馈时序不做变化。具体如图6所示,非授权频段上子帧结构由配置7向配置6转换,由于配置6中的下行子帧数量大于配置7中的下行子帧数量,因此边界帧中的上行HARQ反馈时序不做变化(以表3中所示的上行HARQ反馈时序为例)。1. When the number of downlink subframes in the frame structure after the reconfiguration point is greater than or equal to the number of downlink subframes in the frame structure before the reconfiguration point, the uplink HARQ feedback timing of the boundary frame does not change. Specifically as shown in Figure 6, the subframe structure on the unlicensed frequency band is converted from configuration 7 to configuration 6. Since the number of downlink subframes in configuration 6 is greater than the number of downlink subframes in configuration 7, the uplink HARQ feedback timing in the boundary frame No change (take the uplink HARQ feedback timing shown in Table 3 as an example).
2、当重配点后的帧结构中的下行子帧数量小于重配点前的帧结构中的下行子帧数量时,边界帧的上行HARQ反馈时序采用重配点之后的帧结构所对应的上行HARQ反馈时序。具体如图7所示,非授权频段上子帧结构由配置6向配置7转换,由于配置6中的下行子帧数量大于配置7中的下行子帧数量,因此边界帧中的上行HARQ反馈时序采用配置7对应的HARQ反馈时序(以表3中所示的上行HARQ反馈时序为例)。2. When the number of downlink subframes in the frame structure after the reconfiguration point is smaller than the number of downlink subframes in the frame structure before the reconfiguration point, the uplink HARQ feedback timing of the boundary frame adopts the uplink HARQ feedback corresponding to the frame structure after the reconfiguration point timing. Specifically as shown in Figure 7, the subframe structure on the unlicensed frequency band is converted from configuration 6 to configuration 7. Since the number of downlink subframes in configuration 6 is greater than the number of downlink subframes in configuration 7, the uplink HARQ feedback timing in the boundary frame The HARQ feedback timing corresponding to configuration 7 is adopted (taking the uplink HARQ feedback timing shown in Table 3 as an example).
基于本发明上述提出的动态帧结构,本发明还提出了一种非授权频段上基于动态帧结构的上行HARQ反馈装置,具体如图8所示,该上行HARQ反馈装置800包括:判断单元802、第一确定单元804、第二确定单元806和发送单元808。Based on the dynamic frame structure proposed above in the present invention, the present invention also proposes an uplink HARQ feedback device based on a dynamic frame structure in an unlicensed frequency band, specifically as shown in FIG. 8 , the uplink HARQ feedback device 800 includes: a judging unit 802, A first determining unit 804 , a second determining unit 806 and a sending unit 808 .
其中,判断单元802用于判断当前在非授权频段上使用的帧结构是否需要进行重配置;第一确定单元804用于在所述判断单元802判定当前在非授权频段上使用的帧结构不需要进行重配置时,根据当前使用的帧结构,确定每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧;第二确定单元806用于在所述判断单元802判定当前在非授权频段上使用的帧结构需要进行重配置时,根据重配置时间点之前使用的第一帧结构和将要使用的第二帧结构,确定所述重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧;发送单元808用于当接收到终端在任一上行子帧上发送的上行数据时,在所述任一上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧上发送针对所述上行数据的HARQ反馈消息。Among them, the judging unit 802 is used to judge whether the frame structure currently used on the unlicensed frequency band needs to be reconfigured; the first determining unit 804 is used to judge whether the frame structure currently used on the unlicensed frequency band needs to be reconfigured; When reconfiguring, according to the currently used frame structure, determine the downlink subframe corresponding to each uplink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback; the second determination unit 806 is used to determine the current use in the unlicensed frequency band in the judgment unit 802 When the frame structure needs to be reconfigured, determine each uplink subframe in the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point according to the first frame structure used before the reconfiguration time point and the second frame structure to be used The corresponding downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback; the sending unit 808 is configured to, when receiving the uplink data sent by the terminal on any uplink subframe, perform uplink HARQ feedback in the downlink subframe corresponding to any uplink subframe sending a HARQ feedback message for the uplink data.
在该技术方案中,由于在非授权频段上采用的每种帧结构中仅包含上行子帧和下行子帧,即舍弃了由下行到上行转换的特殊子帧,因此使得时频资源能够得到充分利用;由于在非授权频段工作时需要进行信道检测,因此通过将每种帧结构中包含的同一类型的子帧连续设置,即将每种帧结构中的上行子帧和下行子帧分别连续设置,使得每次占用信道资源后能够最大化信道占用时间,进而能够最大化瞬时吞吐量。In this technical solution, because each frame structure adopted on the unlicensed frequency band only includes uplink subframes and downlink subframes, that is, the special subframes converted from downlink to uplink are discarded, so that time-frequency resources can be fully obtained. Utilization; since channel detection is required when working in an unlicensed frequency band, by continuously setting the subframes of the same type contained in each frame structure, that is, the uplink subframes and downlink subframes in each frame structure are respectively continuously set, The channel occupancy time can be maximized each time the channel resources are occupied, and thus the instantaneous throughput can be maximized.
由于本发明在非授权频段上采用的是动态帧结构,即可以根据上下行业务量动态配置帧结构,因此在不需要对帧结构进行重配置时,直接根据当前使用的帧结构来确定每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧;而在需要对帧结构进行重配置时,重配置时间点之前和之后使用的帧结构可能会发生变化,因此在确定重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的上行HARQ反馈时序时,需要考虑到重配置时间点之前和之后使用的帧结构。可见,在本发明的技术方案中,针对非授权频段上需要对帧结构进行重配置和不需要进行重配置的情况,分别提出了确定上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧的方案,即本发明的技术方案针对在非授权频段以动态帧结构进行工作的场景,提出了一种完善的上行HARQ反馈方案,进而能够保证上行数据稳定有序的传输。Since the present invention adopts a dynamic frame structure on the unlicensed frequency band, that is, the frame structure can be dynamically configured according to the uplink and downlink traffic, so when the frame structure does not need to be reconfigured, each frame structure can be determined directly according to the currently used frame structure. The uplink subframe corresponds to the downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback; when the frame structure needs to be reconfigured, the frame structure used before and after the reconfiguration time point may change, so before determining the reconfiguration time point When the uplink HARQ feedback timing in the last radio frame needs to take into account the frame structures used before and after the reconfiguration time point. It can be seen that in the technical solution of the present invention, in view of the situation that the frame structure needs to be reconfigured and does not need to be reconfigured on the unlicensed frequency band, a scheme of determining the downlink subframe corresponding to the uplink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback is proposed , that is, the technical solution of the present invention proposes a perfect uplink HARQ feedback scheme for the scenario of working in an unlicensed frequency band with a dynamic frame structure, thereby ensuring stable and orderly transmission of uplink data.
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述第一确定单元804具体用于:根据与当前使用的帧结构相对应的上行HARQ反馈时序,确定每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。In the above technical solution, preferably, the first determining unit 804 is specifically configured to: determine the downlink subframe corresponding to each uplink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback according to the uplink HARQ feedback timing corresponding to the currently used frame structure. frame.
在该技术方案中,针对本发明提出的几种帧结构,可以分别定义不同的上行HARQ反馈时序,因此在不需要对帧结构进行重配置时,可以根据与当前使用的帧结构相对应的上行HARQ反馈时序来确定每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。In this technical solution, for several frame structures proposed by the present invention, different uplink HARQ feedback timings can be defined respectively. Therefore, when the frame structure does not need to be reconfigured, the uplink HARQ feedback sequence corresponding to the currently used frame structure can be used. The HARQ feedback timing is used to determine the downlink subframe corresponding to each uplink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback.
在上述任一技术方案中,优选地,所述第二确定单元806具体用于:根据所述第一帧结构中的下行子帧的个数和所述第二帧结构中的下行子帧的个数,确定所述重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。In any of the above technical solutions, preferably, the second determining unit 806 is specifically configured to: according to the number of downlink subframes in the first frame structure and the number of downlink subframes in the second frame structure The number determines the downlink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback corresponding to each uplink subframe in the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point.
在该技术方案中,当需要进行重配置时,重配置时间点之前和之后使用的帧结构可能会发生变化,即帧结构中的下行子帧和上行子帧的个数会发生变化,因此为了保证上行HARQ反馈时序的稳定有序,避免HARQ反馈时序冲突的问题,需要根据重配置时间点之前和之后使用的帧结构中的下行子帧的个数,确定在重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。In this technical solution, when reconfiguration is required, the frame structure used before and after the reconfiguration time point may change, that is, the number of downlink subframes and uplink subframes in the frame structure will change, so for To ensure the stability and order of the uplink HARQ feedback timing and avoid the problem of HARQ feedback timing conflicts, it is necessary to determine the last subframe before the reconfiguration time point according to the number of downlink subframes in the frame structure used before and after the reconfiguration time point. Each uplink subframe in the radio frame corresponds to a downlink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback.
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述第二确定单元806具体还用于:在所述第一帧结构中的下行子帧的个数小于或等于所述第二帧结构中的下行子帧的个数时,根据与所述第一帧结构相对应的上行HARQ反馈时序,确定所述重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧;以及In the above technical solution, preferably, the second determining unit 806 is further configured: the number of downlink subframes in the first frame structure is less than or equal to the number of downlink subframes in the second frame structure When the number of uplink HARQ feedback is corresponding to the first frame structure, determine the downlink subframe corresponding to each uplink subframe in the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point for uplink HARQ feedback frame; and
在所述第一帧结构中的下行子帧的个数大于所述第二帧结构中的下行子帧的个数时,根据与所述第二帧结构相对应的上行HARQ反馈时序,确定所述重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。When the number of downlink subframes in the first frame structure is greater than the number of downlink subframes in the second frame structure, according to the uplink HARQ feedback timing corresponding to the second frame structure, determine the Each uplink subframe in the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point corresponds to a downlink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback.
在该技术方案中,当重配置时间点之前使用的第一帧结构中的下行子帧的个数小于或等于将要使用的第二帧结构中的下行子帧的个数时,则重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧的上行HARQ反馈时序可以仍然采用第一帧结构对应的上行HARQ反馈时序,这样能够保证在重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧都存在与之对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。而在重配置时间点之前使用的第一帧结构中的下行子帧的个数大于将要使用的第二帧结构中的下行子帧的个数时,为了保证重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧存在与之对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧,则可以根据重配置时间点之后使用的第二帧结构对应的上行HARQ反馈时序,来确定重配置时间点之前的最后一个无线帧中的每个上行子帧对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧。In this technical solution, when the number of downlink subframes in the first frame structure used before the reconfiguration time point is less than or equal to the number of downlink subframes in the second frame structure to be used, the reconfiguration time The uplink HARQ feedback timing of the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point can still use the uplink HARQ feedback timing corresponding to the first frame structure, which can ensure that each uplink subframe in the last radio frame before the reconfiguration time point has the same The corresponding downlink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback. When the number of downlink subframes in the first frame structure used before the reconfiguration time point is greater than the number of downlink subframes in the second frame structure to be used, in order to ensure that the last wireless subframe before the reconfiguration time point Each uplink subframe in the frame has a corresponding downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback, then it can be determined according to the uplink HARQ feedback timing corresponding to the second frame structure used after the reconfiguration time point. Each uplink subframe in the last radio frame of , corresponds to a downlink subframe for performing uplink HARQ feedback.
在上述任一技术方案中,优选地,所述每个上行子帧与对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧之间的子帧间隔大于或等于3。In any of the above technical solutions, preferably, the subframe interval between each uplink subframe and the corresponding downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback is greater than or equal to 3.
在该技术方案中,由于信息的传输时间加上基站的计算处理时间至少需要3ms,因此每个上行子帧与对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的下行子帧之间的子帧间隔应大于或等于3,比如子帧号为n的是上行子帧,则子帧n对应的进行上行HARQ反馈的最近的下行子帧应该是n+4(与子帧n之前间隔了3个子帧)。In this technical solution, since the information transmission time plus the calculation and processing time of the base station requires at least 3 ms, the subframe interval between each uplink subframe and the corresponding downlink subframe for uplink HARQ feedback should be greater than or equal to 3 , for example, the subframe number n is an uplink subframe, then the nearest downlink subframe corresponding to subframe n for uplink HARQ feedback should be n+4 (3 subframes before subframe n).
在上述任一技术方案中,优选地,若在非授权频段上使用的帧结构中包含有多个下行子帧,则在所述多个下行子帧上分别发送的上行HARQ反馈消息的数量均衡。In any of the above technical solutions, preferably, if the frame structure used on the unlicensed frequency band contains multiple downlink subframes, the number of uplink HARQ feedback messages sent on the multiple downlink subframes is balanced .
在该技术方案中,通过使多个下行子帧分别发送的上行HARQ反馈消息的数量均衡,可以避免在某个下行子帧上的HARQ信令开销过大的问题。In this technical solution, the problem of excessive HARQ signaling overhead on a certain downlink subframe can be avoided by balancing the number of uplink HARQ feedback messages respectively sent in multiple downlink subframes.
