Embodiment
The embodiment of the invention provides data transmission method and the system under a kind of tdd mode, in order to realize transmitting between base station and subscriber equipment by via node the technical scheme of data.
In the LTE-A system, via node (RN) is used for transmitting data between base station and subscriber equipment, owing to increased via node, therefore need in the multi-hop cellular mobile communication networks system that forms, provide corresponding frame structure configuration, to realize the transfer of data in the multi-hop cellular mobile communication networks system.
Via node can adopt semiduplex working method, also can adopt the isolated full-duplex mode that avoids interference of physics, therefore is divided into half-duplex and two kinds of schemes of full duplex at the frame structure design aspect:
In half-duplex scheme, because the introducing of via node makes the Radio Link based on the cell mobile communication systems of via node be divided into three: the access link of (RN-Relay UE) between the repeated link and via node and subscriber equipment of (eNB-RN) between access link, base station and the via node of (eNB-Macro UE) between base station and the subscriber equipment.Consider the signal interference-limited of radio communication, therefore these three links need use the Radio Resource of quadrature, the transceiver of via node is the TDD mode of operation simultaneously, so the eNB-RN repeated link needs to take different time slots in the tdd frame structure with RN-Relay UE access link, so separate in the crack in the access of RN uplink downlink zone and relaying zone on time.But eNB-MacroUE access link zone and eNB-RN relaying zone can coexist, because for base station (eNB), RN is equivalent to subscriber equipment (UE), so in order fully effectively to utilize Radio Resource, eNB-MacroUE access link zone and eNB-RN relaying zone can be time slot coexistences, as long as its running time-frequency resource quadrature just can, so constituted a Mixed Zone.So, have following time slot zone in each the radio half frame structure based on the advanced person's of Relay Long Term Evolution (LTE-A) tdd frame structure:
Descending access zone: RN adopts this zone that the data of eNB are sent to UE.
Down mixing zone: eNB adopts this zone to send data to RN.
Up access zone: UE adopts this zone to send the data to RN.
Up Mixed Zone: RN adopts this zone to send data to eNB.
Special time slot (S): the same with LTE tdd frame structure, form by DwPTS, GP and UpPTS.DwPTS can transmit master sync signal, and DwPTS can be configured to descending access zone or down mixing zone; UpPTS can transmit uplink synchronizing signals and uplink detection reference signal (sounding), UpPTS can be configured to up access zone or up Mixed Zone, when UpPTS is configured to up access zone, be used to receive the signal of UE, but this signal can not be transmitted to eNB; When UpPTS is configured to up Mixed Zone, that RN sends to eNB is synchronizing signal and the sounding that self produces, rather than from the signal of UE.As shown in Figure 3, TX wherein represents sending mode, and RX represents receiving mode.
In the full duplex scheme, RN can transmit and receive data simultaneously in each subframe, therefore inserts or the Mixed Zone without differentiating uplink and downlink, can adopt the various configurations of current tdd frame structure.
Referring to Fig. 4, the data transmission method under a kind of tdd mode that the embodiment of the invention provides comprises step:
S101, via node determine that according to the corresponding relation of pre-configured down mixing zone with downgoing time unit the base station sends the time quantum that data adopted, and receive in this time quantum the data from the base station.
Wherein, described time quantum is subframe or time slot, and a plurality of time quantums constitute the Preset Time section described in the embodiment of the invention, and the length of this Preset Time section can be identical with the length of a radio frames, also can be different.
S102, via node are according to the pre-configured descending corresponding relation that inserts zone and downgoing time unit, be identified for to the downgoing time unit of subscriber equipment forwarding, and give subscriber equipment (Relay UE) from the data of base station by this downgoing time unit forwards from the data of base station.
S103, via node determine that according to the pre-configured up corresponding relation that inserts zone and up time quantum subscriber equipment sends the up time quantum that data adopted, and receive in this up time quantum the data from subscriber equipment.
S104, via node are according to the pre-configured up Mixed Zone and the corresponding relation of up time quantum, be identified for to the up time quantum of base station forwarding, and give the base station from the data of subscriber equipment by this up time quantum forwarding from the data of subscriber equipment.
Need to prove that the execution sequence of above-mentioned four steps is not fixed.Down direction, execution in step S101 and step S102 respectively; Up direction, execution in step S103 and step S104 respectively.The transfer of data of up direction and down direction can be carried out simultaneously.
Preferably, comprise regional with descending access respectively, the regional and corresponding time quantum in up Mixed Zone of regional, the up access of down mixing in each Preset Time section at least.
Preferably, directly under the situation of service data transmission, the time quantum that is used for synchronous signal transmission and/or broadcast singal in each Preset Time section is corresponding with descending access zone at base station and subscriber equipment.In addition, being used for the time quantum of synchronous signal transmission and/or broadcast singal in each Preset Time section also can be corresponding with the down mixing zone.
Preferably, described Preset Time section is more than or equal to section cycle time of each frame, and is the integral multiple of described cycle time of section.
Section cycle time described in the embodiment of the invention, for example the subframe 0 under the frame structure configuration 0 is identical to the frame structure of subframe 9 with subframe 5 to subframe 4 frame structures among Fig. 2, all be " DSUUU ", promptly be followed successively by descending sub frame, special subframe, sub-frame of uplink, sub-frame of uplink, sub-frame of uplink.Therefore, the time period that this subframe structure is repeated is called section cycle time, frame structure configuration 0 for example shown in Figure 2, and from subframe 0, every 5ms is the one-period time period; Frame structure configuration 5, from subframe 0, every 10ms is the one-period time period.
The length of the Preset Time section described in the embodiment of the invention can equal the length of section cycle time, can be the integral multiple of section cycle time still greater than the length of section cycle time also.
Preferably, the time corresponding unit, down mixing zone in each Preset Time section and the ratio of the quantity of the regional time corresponding of descending access unit, the ratio of time corresponding unit, perhaps up Mixed Zone and the quantity of the regional time corresponding of up access unit is the ratio of the access link data carried by data amount between data carried by data amount and via node and the subscriber equipment on the repeated link between base station and the via node.
