Background technology
TD-SCDMA is the main standard in the present 3G technology system.From duplex technology, TD-SCDMA belongs to time division duplex (TDD) pattern, also is the 3-G (Generation Three mobile communication system) of unique employing synchronization CDMA (SCDMA) technology and ins and outs sheet speed (LCR).Tdd mode is distinguished uplink and downlink by time slot, can adjust the distribution of resource between uplink and downlink neatly, is suitable for asymmetric traffic, and advanced technologies such as TDD joint-detection also easy to use and smart antenna improve spectrum efficiency simultaneously.In recent years, in order further to improve 3G technology, provide more powerful data service ability, the corresponding research work that starts 3G technology Long Term Evolution (LTE-Long Term Evolution) of 3GPP and 3GPP2.The technology of 3GPP LTE has higher message transmission rate and spectrum utilization efficiency.
In the LTE framework, Radio Link control (RLC) layer merges with medium access control layer (MAC) layer.Error-control technique in the communication system is divided into two classes: error correction coding and ARQ.Error correction coding and ARQ characteristics are combined together to form a kind of new error-control technique mixing automaticdata repeat requests (HARQ).In the LTE framework, because rlc layer and MAC layer merge, ARQ of RLC AM pattern (being Outer ARQ) and bottom HARQ will keep jointly.Outer ARQ is used to solve the residual error of HARQ layer.When ARQ PDU retransmits, carry out segmentation/beading process again, to adapt to current channel condition.The process of the ARQ of initial transmission formation in the prior art PDU as shown in Figure 1, in Fig. 1, according to current current control (flow control), stream service quality (flow QoS), buffer status (Buffer Status) and channel quality (channel Quality) etc., under the control of dispatching algorithm, IP packet 1 and IP Packet 2 in the IP bag buffer (IP packet buffer), be Block#1, Block#2 is not by segmentation, IP packet 3 has then carried out segmentation, promptly has been divided into Block#3 and Block#4.IPpacket 1, and the payload that next TTI sends HARQPDU has been formed in the last segmentation of IP packet 2 and IP packet 3.
The structure of the ARQ PDU that produces according to above-mentioned mechanism as shown in Figure 2, the TrBlk among the figure is ARQPDU.LI wherein: the length of indicating each Block; LCID: the logic channel ID that indicates each IP packet; TSN: the transmission sequence number of expression ARQ PDU is used for the re-transmission of ARQ and in the reorganization of receiving end; SI:2bit, the segmentation situation that is used for indicating each first Block of ARQ PDU and last Block.Concrete implication such as the following table of SI:
The implication of table 1 SI field
When ARQ PDU taking place retransmit, different ARQ PDU is serially connected forms new ARQ PDU if desired, needs then to guarantee that the TSN of first Block among the TSN of last Block among the previous ARQ PDU and the back ARQ PDU is continuous.Because TSN is numbered at its Block that comprises, TSN is the TSN of first Block among each ARQ PDU, and the TSN of continuous two ARQ PDU may be also discontinuous when retransmitting.In the serial connection process, require the TSN of first Block among the TSN of last Block among the previous ARQPDU and the ARQ PDU in back continuous in the prior art, otherwise can't realize serial connection.This has reduced the flexibility that ARQ PDU retransmits undoubtedly, has reduced the utilization ratio of channel resource.
