Background technology
In 3GPP Long Term Evolution LTE-Advanced system, will adopt the service quality and the Extended Cell of the method raising Cell Edge User of relaying (Relay) cooperation transmission to cover.The introducing of via node makes the Radio Link based on the mobile communication system of Relay have three: eNB (evolution base station)-Hong UE (User Equipment, subscriber equipment) direct projection link (direct link), the access link (access link) of the back haul link of eNB-RN (backhaul link) and RN-relay UE, therefore consider the signal interference-limited of radio communication, three links need use the Radio Resource of quadrature.On same frequency range, for fear of self-interference, via node can not transmit and receive data simultaneously.In LTE-A, via node can as shown in Figure 1, carry out the repeated link downlink transfer for utilizing the MBSFN subframe in the prior art by the mode and the mutual backhaul data of its donor eNB of MFSBN subframe.
Via node (RN) sends PDCCH (grouping Dedicated Control Channel) to the user terminal (being called R-UE) of its service on one or two OFDM symbols in a MBSFN subframe.On back several OFDM symbols of this MBSFN subframe, via node receives control (being called R-PDCCH) and the data (being called R-PDSCH) from donor eNB, as shown in Figure 2, is P-PDCCH and the R-PDSCH distribution schematic diagram of a kind of RN in the prior art.On frequency domain, R-PDCCH can transmission in some Resource Block that sets in advance set.Different via nodes can be shared these R-PDCCH Resource Block, and obtains oneself down dispatch information (DL grant) and uplink scheduling information (UL grant) on this Resource Block by blind check.The resource allocation of the R-PDSCH of a via node is indicated by its down dispatch information.The base station can be dispatched grand UE (macro-UE) and via node simultaneously in a subframe, as long as their resource allocation is a quadrature.The downlink data of Macro-UE is called PDSCH, as shown in Figure 2.
Wherein, R-PDCCH shown in Figure 2 shares (common) by a plurality of via nodes, yet R-PDCCH also can be by a via node special use (RN specific), and the P-PDCCH and the R-PDSCH that are illustrated in figure 3 as another kind of RN in the prior art distribute schematic diagram.Wherein the R-PDCCH Resource Block of RN1 is the R-PDCCH by the special RN1 of giving of base station configuration.On the R-PDCCH of RN1, can transmit control signaling about RN1, comprise DL grant, UL grant, or the like.Other R-PDCCH resource can also exist.These R-PDCCH resources can be shared, and are for example shared by RN2 and RN3, as shown in Figure 3.
Need to prove,, perhaps receive the conversion of transmission, so need be reserved some change-over times because via node will be done a subframe domestic demand and send to reception.On the basis that does not influence the present invention's realization, for brevity, do not consider these change-over times in this article, therefore yet not shown these change-over times in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.
In example as above, there is the relation of Time Division Multiplexing between the R-PDCCH resource of a RN and the R-PDSCH resource, promptly R-PDCCH can take different OFDM symbols with R-PDSCH.
The existing another kind of thinking that has proposed be between one R-PDCCH and the R-PDSCH for the relation of frequency division multiplexing (FDM), be illustrated in fig. 4 shown below, be R-PDSCH in the prior art and R-PDCCH frequency division multiplexing schematic diagram.In this case, R-PDCCH takies all OFDM symbols of one or more complete PRB, and R-PDSCH takies the PRB resource different with R-PDCCH.Equally, R-PDCCH also can be Common's or RN-specific.
At present also not to the detailed design scheme of R-PDCCH.The R-PDCCH design of Common is adopted in some company's suggestions, and benefit is the multiplexing control areas of many RN, and resource overhead is less.And the design of RN-specific also has some companies to be inclined to, and benefit is to select suitable PRB to transmit according to the channel conditions of RN.For the multiplexing problem of R-PDSCH and R-PDCCH, R-PDCCH takies complete PRB in the FDM scheme, designs comparatively simple; R-PDCCH takies preceding several OFDM symbols of each PRB in the TDM scheme, and RN can promptly begin the demodulation sign indicating number after receiving the R-PDCCH symbol like this, does not need sub-frame end by the time, therefore than the FDM mode littler time-delay is arranged.
As can be seen, more existing schemes cut both ways, and therefore also need to be optimized.
