Background
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a frame structure of an FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) mode of an LTE (Long Term Evolution) system according to the related art, where as shown in fig. 1, in the frame structure of the FDD mode, a radio frame (radio frame) of 10ms is composed of twenty slots (slots) with a length of 0.5ms and numbers of 0-19, and slots 2i and 2i +1 constitute a subframe (subframe) i with a length of 1 ms. Fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating a frame structure of a TDD (Time Division Duplex) mode of an LTE (long term Evolution) system according to the related art, where, as shown in fig. 2, a radio frame (radio frame) of 10ms is composed of two half frames (subframes) of 5ms, and a half frame includes 5 subframes (subframes) of 1 ms. Subframe i is defined as 2 slots 2i and 2i +1 of length 0.5 ms. In both frame structures, for Normal CP (Normal Cyclic Prefix), a slot contains 7 symbols with a length of 66.7us, wherein the CP length of the first symbol is 5.21us, and the CP length of the remaining 6 symbols is 4.69 us; for Extended CP, a slot contains 6 symbols, and the CP length of all symbols is 16.67 us.
LTE defines a PDCCH (Physical downlink control channel) to carry scheduling assignments and other control information; a Physical Control Format Indicator Channel (PCFICH) carries information of the number of OFDM symbols used for transmitting a PDCCH in one subframe, and is transmitted on the first OFDM symbol of the subframe, where the frequency position is determined by a system downlink bandwidth and a cell ID. Each PDCCH is composed of a plurality of CCEs (Control Channel elements), and the number of CCEs in each subframe is determined by the number of PDCCHs and a downlink bandwidth. And the CCE of each subframe is numbered according to the sequence of the frequency domain and the time domain.
LTE Release-8 defines 6 bandwidths: 1.4MHz, 3MHz, 5MHz, 10MHz, 15MHz and 20 MHz.
LTE-Advanced (Further Advances for E-UTRA) is an evolved version of LTE Release-8. Unless 3GPP TR 25.913 is met or exceeded: all relevant Requirements of "Requirements for Evolved UTRA (E-UTRA) and Evolved UTRAN (E-UTRAN)" are met or exceeded by IMT-Advanced Requirements proposed by ITU-R. Wherein, the requirement of backward compatibility with LTERElease-8 refers to that: the terminal of the LTE area-8 can work in the network of LTE-Advanced; the terminal of LTE-Advanced can work in the network of LTE Release-8.
In addition, LTE-Advanced should be able to operate with different size spectrum configurations, including wider spectrum configurations (e.g., 100MHz contiguous spectrum resources) than LTE Release-8, to achieve higher performance and target peak rates. Since the LTE-Advanced network needs to be able to access LTE users, its operating band needs to cover the current LTE band, and there is no allocable continuous 100MHz spectrum bandwidth already in this band. One straightforward technique that LTE-Advanced needs to address is to aggregate several contiguous Component carrier frequencies (spectrum) distributed over different frequency bands to form a 100MHz bandwidth that LTE-Advanced can use. That is, for the aggregated spectrum, it is divided into n Component carrier frequencies (spectrum), and the spectrum within each Component carrier frequency (spectrum) is continuous.
Fig. 3 is a diagram of a spectrum arrangement according to the related art, and as shown in fig. 3, there are mainly 3 schemes of the spectrum arrangement, as shown in fig. 3. The square part is the system bandwidth compatible with LTE Release-8, and the oblique line part is the system bandwidth special for LTE-Advanced. Fig. 3a is a spectrum allocation scheme 1, which means that the LTE-Advanced spectrum allocation is composed of 1 LTE-Advanced defined system bandwidth, and the bandwidth is greater than the LTE Release-8 defined system bandwidth. Fig. 3b is a spectrum configuration scheme 2, which means that the LTE-Advanced spectrum configuration is composed of a LTE area-8 defined system bandwidth and a plurality of LTE-Advanced defined system bandwidths through spectrum aggregation (carrier aggregation). Fig. 3c is a spectrum allocation scheme 3, which means that the LTE-Advanced spectrum allocation is composed of multiple system bandwidths defined by LTE Release-8 through spectrum aggregation (carrier aggregation), where the spectrum aggregation may be aggregation of continuous spectrum or aggregation of discontinuous spectrum. The LTE Release-8UE can access a frequency band compatible with the LTE Release-8, and the LTE-A UE can access both the frequency band compatible with the LTE Release-8 and the frequency band compatible with the LTE-Advanced.
Considering the compatibility with LTE Release-8, each component carrier frequency of LTE-Advanced needs to meet the requirement of being able to access to LTE users, which needs to ensure that the channel structure of each component carrier frequency is as consistent as possible with LTE.
At present, in an FDD duplex mode, the number of uplink and downlink available component carrier frequencies may be different in LTE-Advanced, so that each downlink component carrier frequency cannot correspond to a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) one by one, and a PUCCH resource index designed in LTE cannot work correctly.
At present, the PUCCH resource index for transmitting HARQ-ACK in the uplink, which is designed by dynamically scheduling PDSCH in an LTE FDD duplex mode, is implicitly mapped through the minimum CCE of the PDCCH allocated to the user on a scheduled downlink subframe. Namely, it isWhereinIs the PUCCH resource index, n, at which the user sends HARQ-ACKCCEIs the first CCE index corresponding to the transmission PDCCH,configured by higher layers. The PDSCH that is semi-statically scheduled is,configured by higher layers.
For PDSCH dynamically scheduled in an LTE TDD duplex mode, PUCCH resource indexes for sending HARQ-ACK in an uplink mode are obtained by block interleaving CCE of PDCCH allocated to the user on a scheduled downlink subframe. Since there may be a configuration in which the number of downlink subframes is greater than the number of uplink subframes in one radio frame in the TDD mode, the concept of a feedback window is defined. The feedback window is all downlink subframes corresponding to the uplink subframe (it should be noted that "corresponding" here means that the downlink subframes all feed back the acknowledgement information in the uplink subframe).
For TDD duplex mode, since there may be a configuration scenario where a downlink subframe is larger than an uplink subframe in one radio frame, there may be a situation where feedback information of multiple downlink subframes is sent in the same uplink subframe. A plurality of downlink subframes corresponding to such one uplink subframe are referred to as feedback windows.
For TDD ACK/NACK bundling or multiplexing mode, when the feedback window is only 1,the determination method comprises the following steps:
for a PDSCH transmission that is indicated by the PDCCH, or a downlink SPS released transmission indicated by the PDCCH,and obtaining by block interleaving mapping. For PDSCH transmission not indicated by PDCCH, thenDetermined by high-level configuration and table 1, table one shows the relationship of PUCCH resource index corresponding signaling, as shown in table one:
table one, PUCCH resource index corresponding signaling relation
For the semi-static Downlink scheduling activation transmission indicated by Downlink Control Information (DCI) signaling, the method comprisesOne of the four resources configured by the higher layer is indicated by the TPC field and the mapping table is given by table one.
At present, in the continuous evolution process of LTE-Advanced, the requirement for the system capacity expansion to support the number of users is continuously increased, and an existing Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH for short) cannot meet the requirement of a more Advanced wireless communication system, so that an ePDCCH (enhanced PDCCH) Channel is introduced in the discussion of 3GPP to enhance PDCCH performance, and a new PDCCH transmission region is introduced at the same time, at this time, how to obtain a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource for transmitting ACK/NACK corresponding to a PDSCH of the ePDCCH is called a problem to be solved urgently.

in the TDD system, there are three mapping methods: one is Virtual Resource (VR) unit block interleaving; one is to perform other interleaving modes in units of VRs; one is VR unit continuous mapping. These three modes are explained below.
1. Mapping in a block interleaving manner by taking VR as a unit:
fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a VRB of TDD according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 6, it is assumed that a certain uplink subframe corresponds to 4 downlink subframes, and a corresponding VR on each downlink subframe, and a VRBI represents a virtual resource block index formed by VRs. Fig. 7 is a block interleaving diagram according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 7, VRBs may be formed by continuous VRs or discrete VRs. Meanwhile, the resource mapping of PUCCH is also divided into a new resource region designed based on the outside of the R8 system mapping region, and parameters are introduced at the same timeObtaining resource location, and introducing into R8 resource region(the CCE sum of each downlink subframe corresponding to the uplink subframe) to obtain the final mapping resource.
2. Continuous mapping in VR units:
still taking fig. 6 as an example for explanation, that is, it is assumed that a certain uplink subframe corresponds to 4 downlink subframes, and VR and VRBI corresponding to each downlink subframe represent a virtual resource block index formed by VR. Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of continuous mapping according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 8, the resource mapping of PUCCH is also divided into design of new resource regions based on the outside of the R8 system mapping region, and parameters are introduced at the same timeObtaining resource location, and introducing into R8 resource region(the CCE sum of each downlink subframe corresponding to the uplink subframe) to obtain the final mapping resource.
3. Mapping in other interleaving manners in units of VR:
still taking fig. 6 as an example for explanation, it is assumed that a certain uplink subframe corresponds to 4 downlink subframes, and VR corresponding to each downlink subframe, VRBI represents a virtual resource block index formed by VR. Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of mapping in other interleaving manners according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 9, the resource mapping of PUCCH is also based on designing a new resource region outside the R8 system mapping region, and introducing parametersObtaining resource location, and introducing into R8 resource region(the CCE sum of each downlink subframe corresponding to the uplink subframe) to obtain the final mapping resource.
Because the LTE-Advanced needs to be compatible with LTE users, and carriers aggregated by the LTE-Advanced include LTE frequency bands, the LTE users can access the LTE-Advanced network in uplink and downlink frequency bands used by the designed LTE. The mapping method of the LTE user uplink control channel accessed to the LTE-Advanced network is completely the same as the design of the LTE.
The following embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying examples, so that how to apply the technical means to solve the technical problems and achieve the technical effects can be fully understood and implemented.

E.g. higher layer parameters4 available PUCCH resources are configured, the ARI field in the DCI signaling is '00', thenIs the first of 4 available PUCCH resources; also for example, if the higher layer parameters4 available PUCCH resources are configured, the ARI field in the DCI signaling is '10', thenThe third of the 4 available PUCCH resources.
As another example of the present invention,according to higher layer signallingAnd an existing indication field in DCI signaling, such as TPC field determination, wherein,a set of PUCCH resources is configured, and the TPC indicates a specific corresponding PUCCH resource in the PUCCH resource set. E.g. higher layer parameters4 available PUCCH resources are configured, the TPC domain in DCI signaling is '00', thenIs 4 available PUCsA first one of the CH resources; also for example, if the higher layer parameters4 available PUCCH resources are configured, the TPC domain in DCI signaling is '10', thenThe third of the 4 available PUCCH resources.

A schematic diagram of the sequential mapping is shown in fig. 8.
As another example, for LTE-Advanced TDD system users, the channel resource index of PUCCH carrying ACK/NACK for PDSCHThe mapping of a new resource region is designed outside the mapping region based on the R8 system, and the mapping can also be designed outside the mapping region based on the R8 resource region by introducing(the CCE sum of each downlink subframe corresponding to the uplink subframe) to obtain the final mapping resource. The mapping formulas are respectivelyAndwherein,andfor the configuration of the higher layer signaling,is the total number of compatible PDCCH region CCEs in the current downlink subframe, nVRIMapping in other interleaving modes with VR as a unit is adopted, a certain uplink subframe corresponds to 4 downlink subframes, the corresponding VR on each downlink subframe is as shown in FIG. 6, and VRBI represents a virtual resource block index formed by VRs. Then the mapping diagram of other interleaving ways in VR units is shown in fig. 9.
Channel resource index for PUCCHAccording to the common determination mode of the ARI domains in the high-level signaling and the DCI signaling, because the configuration of the main downlink carrier and the configuration of the auxiliary downlink carrier are different, the implementation modes thereof are also different:
for an LTE-Advanced system user, a UE is configured in a carrier aggregation scenario, and it is assumed that at a certain time, the UE is configured to aggregate two downlink CCs, and the UE sends a feedback message in uplink in PUCCH format 3. The primary downlink carrier is configured with ePDCCH or PDCCH, and the secondary downlink carrier is configured with ePDCCH. That is, when the UE receives PDSCH of two carriers in downlink, the UE carries the channel resource index of PUCCH of ACK/NACK of PDSCHAccording to ARI domain common determination in high layer signaling and DCI signaling, wherein, high layer signaling and DCI signaling are combinedThe layer signaling configures a group of PUCCH resources, and the ARI field indicates a specific corresponding PUCCH resource in the PUCCH resource group. The ARI domain is realized by reusing the TPC domain of the ePDCCH of the secondary component carrier. If the system is a TDD system, TPCs of other PDCCHs/ePDCCHs on the main component carrier except for the counter field DAI of 1 are also used as ARIs.
For an LTE-Advanced system user, a UE is configured in a carrier aggregation scenario, and it is assumed that at a certain time, the UE is configured to aggregate two downlink CCs, and the UE sends a feedback message in uplink in PUCCH format 3. The primary downlink carrier is configured with ePDCCH, and the secondary downlink carrier is configured with PDCCH. That is, when the UE receives PDSCH of two carriers in downlink, the UE carries the channel resource index of PUCCH of ACK/NACK of PDSCHAnd jointly determining according to ARI domains in the high-level signaling and the DCI signaling, wherein the high-level signaling configures a group of PUCCH resources, and the ARI domain indicates a specific corresponding PUCCH resource in the PUCCH resource group. The ARI domain reuses the TPC domain implementation of the PDCCH of the secondary component carrier. If the system is a TDD system, TPCs of other PDCCHs/ePDCCHs on the main component carrier except for the counter field DAI of 1 are also used as ARIs.
For an LTE-Advanced FDD system user, a UE is configured in a carrier aggregation scenario, and it is assumed that at a certain time, the UE is configured to aggregate two downlink CCs, and the UE transmits a feedback message in an uplink in a PUCCH format 1 channel selection mode. When the secondary component carrier has no cross-carrier scheduling indication, a group of PUCCH resources are configured through high-level signaling, and one of the resources is indicated through an ARI (uplink control information) domain of the PDCCH/ePDCCH (physical downlink control channel/physical uplink control channel) in the secondary component carrier. For a PDCCH/ePDCCH dynamically scheduled on a primary component carrier, or a PDCCH/ePDCCH without cross-carrier scheduling on a secondary component carrier, or a PDCCH/ePDCCH carrying SPS release messages on the primary component carrier, for downlink transmission modes 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7, PUCCH resources are implicitly mapped through a first CCE carrying the PDCCH/ePDCCH; for downlink transmission modes 1, 3, 4, 8 and 9, the PUCCH resource is implicitly mapped by the first CCE and the first CCE +1 carrying PDCCH/ePDCCH. When the PDSCH of the semi-persistent scheduling on the main carrier is transmitted and transmitted in the modes 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7, the PUCCH resource is SPS resource notified by a high layer; for transmission modes 3, 4, 8 and 9, the first PUCCH resource is SPS resource notified by the higher layer, and the second PUCCH resource is implicitly mapped according to the first SPS resource.
For an LTE-Advanced TDD system user, a UE is configured in a carrier aggregation scenario, and it is assumed that at a certain time, the UE is configured to aggregate two downlink CCs, and the UE transmits a feedback message in an uplink in a PUCCH format 1 channel selection mode. Then, the PUCCH resource carrying the feedback message is determined as follows:
if cross-carrier scheduling exists and PDSCH transmission of the primary component carrier is indicated by the corresponding PDCCH, the first CCE of the PDCCH with the DAI field equal to 1 and 2 in the primary component carrier correspondingly obtains two PUCCH resources, and if the PDSCH transmission is not indicated by the corresponding PDCCH, the two PUCCH resources in the primary component carrier correspond to the first CCE of the PDCCH/ePDCCH with the DAI equal to 1 and from SPS reserved resources. The two PUCCH resources of the secondary component carrier are from the first CCE corresponding to PDCCH/ePDCCH with DAI equal to 1 and 2.
If no cross-carrier scheduling is performed and the PDSCH transmission of the primary component carrier is indicated by the corresponding PDCCH/ePDCCH, the first CCE of the PDCCH/ePDCCH with DAI field equal to 1 and 2 in the primary component carrier corresponds to obtaining two PUCCH resources, or if the PDSCH transmission is indicated by no corresponding PDCCH, the two PUCCH resources in the primary component carrier correspond to the first CCE from the SPS reserved resource and the PDCCH/ePDCCH with DAI equal to 1. The two PUCCH resources of the secondary component carrier are from the indication of the ARI. ARI is the TPC field reusing PDCCH/ePDCCH.
