Description

通訊系統、基地台、使用者裝置與裝置對裝置通訊的發現方法Communication system, base station, user device and device-to-device communication discovery method

本發明是有關於一種裝置對裝置(Device-to-Device;D2D)通訊技術,且特別是有關於一種通訊系統、基地台、使用者裝置與裝置對裝置通訊的發現方法。 The present invention relates to a device-to-device (D2D) communication technology, and more particularly to a communication system, a base station, a user device, and a device-to-device communication method.

現有技術的無線通訊技術通常需透過核心網路來進行傳遞,將可能造成核心網路壅塞的問題,因此利用毋須透過基地台的直接通訊(Direct Communication)技術便逐漸受到重視。裝置對裝置(Device-to-Device;D2D)(或稱為裝置間)通訊是一種允許使用者裝置(user equipment;UE)彼此間直接通訊的技術,且其不需要基地台(如,eNodeB或增強型NodeB)在其間轉發資料。D2D通訊的應用可被分類為近端服務(proximity-based service;PBS;ProSe)(或稱為鄰近服務),這是因為僅有在彼此附近的使 用者裝置才可應用此服務。D2D通訊主要可區分為三個主要程序:裝置發現(Device Discovery)、裝置之間的相互配對(Peering)以及通訊(Communication)。 The prior art wireless communication technology usually needs to be transmitted through the core network, which may cause congestion of the core network, and thus the use of Direct Communication technology that does not need to pass through the base station has gradually received attention. Device-to-Device (D2D) (or inter-device) communication is a technology that allows user equipment (UE) to communicate directly with each other, and it does not require a base station (eg, eNodeB or Enhanced NodeB) forwards data between them. The application of D2D communication can be classified as proximity-based service (PBS; ProSe) (or proximity service) because only in the vicinity of each other This service is only available to the user device. D2D communication can be mainly divided into three main programs: Device Discovery, Peering between devices, and Communication.

另一方面,每個行動通訊營運商皆會建置公眾行動電話網路(Public land mobile network;PLMN),以向用戶提供通訊服務。每個行動通訊營運商所採用的通訊介面及頻段皆不相同,藉此以避免相互干擾等問題。圖1是一種通訊系統100的示意圖。基地台110與基地台120分別屬於不同行動通訊營運商的公眾行動電話網路。基地台110的通訊範圍R1與基地台120的通訊範圍R2內具有許多使用者裝置11~13、21~23以及31~33。然而,由於每個使用者裝置可能使用不同行動通訊營運商的服務,且每個行動通訊營運商所屬的PLMN具備不同的通訊界面及載波頻段皆有所不同。例如,使用者裝置11與12可能透過載波頻段為1800MHz來使用基地台110所提供的行動網路服務,使用者裝置13則透過載波頻段為700MHz來使用基地台120所提供的行動網路服務,則使用者裝置11無法跨頻段地得知使用者裝置13的相關信息。因此目前僅能使隸屬於相同行動通訊營運商的使用者裝置進行D2D通訊,而無法讓使用者裝置可以跨越行動通訊營運商以及載波頻段的限制來進行D2D通訊。 On the other hand, each mobile communication operator will establish a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) to provide communication services to users. The communication interface and frequency band used by each mobile communication operator are different to avoid mutual interference. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a communication system 100. The base station 110 and the base station 120 belong to a public mobile telephone network of different mobile communication operators, respectively. The communication range R1 of the base station 110 and the communication range R2 of the base station 120 have a plurality of user devices 11 to 13, 21 to 23, and 31 to 33. However, since each user device may use the services of different mobile communication operators, and the PLMN to which each mobile communication operator belongs has different communication interfaces and carrier frequency bands. For example, the user devices 11 and 12 may use the mobile network service provided by the base station 110 through the carrier frequency band of 1800 MHz, and the user device 13 uses the mobile network service provided by the base station 120 through the carrier frequency band of 700 MHz. The user device 11 cannot know the information about the user device 13 across the frequency band. Therefore, at present, only user devices belonging to the same mobile communication carrier can perform D2D communication, and the user device cannot perform D2D communication across the mobile communication operator and the carrier frequency band limitation.

本發明實施例的通訊系統200可統合隸屬於不同行動通訊供應商的使用者裝置11~13、21~23及31~33,使這些使用者裝置11~13、21~23及31~33能夠跨越不同的載波頻段以及公眾行動電話網路設備,進行近端服務裝置對裝置通訊的裝置發現。依照本發明一實施例,基地台210會透過這些行動通訊供應商的多個 載波頻段來獲得這些使用者裝置11~13、21~23及31~33的D2D通訊請求。不同的載波頻段及傳輸參數可隸屬於不同的行動通訊供應商,且每個使用者裝置11~13、21~23及31~33可使用這些行動通訊供應商其中之一的行動通訊服務。因此,為了能夠跨越載波頻段及公眾行動電話網路的區別,基地台210透過全部已知的載波頻段來接收使用者裝置11~13、21~23及31~33的D2D通訊請求。於部分實施例中,基地台210也可由不同公眾行動電話網路(PLMN)中的多個控制節點所組成。這些控制節點會將其所屬之PLMN中的使用者裝置所發出的D2D通訊請求透過核心網路或是網際網路傳送至特定基地台210中。 The communication system 200 of the embodiment of the present invention can integrate the user devices 11~13, 21~23 and 31~33 belonging to different mobile communication providers, so that the user devices 11~13, 21~23 and 31~33 can Device discovery of device communication to the near-end service device is carried out across different carrier frequency bands and public mobile telephone network devices. According to an embodiment of the invention, the base station 210 transmits multiple of these mobile communication providers. The carrier frequency band is used to obtain D2D communication requests of these user devices 11~13, 21~23 and 31~33. Different carrier frequency bands and transmission parameters can belong to different mobile communication providers, and each user device 11~13, 21~23 and 31~33 can use the mobile communication service of one of these mobile communication providers. Therefore, in order to be able to cross the difference between the carrier frequency band and the public mobile telephone network, the base station 210 receives the D2D communication requests of the user devices 11~13, 21~23 and 31~33 through all known carrier frequency bands. In some embodiments, base station 210 may also be comprised of multiple control nodes in different public mobile telephone networks (PLMNs). These control nodes transmit D2D communication requests from user devices in the PLMN to which they belong to the specific base station 210 via the core network or the Internet.

基地台210在收到這些使用者裝置11~13、21~23及31~33的D2D通訊請求之後,便會依據這些使用者裝置11~13、21~23及31~33的地理位置而將這些使用者裝置11~13、21~23及31~33區分為多個群組。本實施例中是以三個群組G1~G3作為舉例。由於D2D通訊屬於近端服務,需要兩使用者裝置相互鄰近,因此基地台210將相互鄰近的使用者裝置區分為相同群組。例如,基地台210將使用者裝置11~13分為群組G1、將使用者裝置21~23分為群組G2,以及將使用者裝置31~33分為群組G3。換句話說,每個群組G1~G3中的使用者裝置在地域上相互鄰近。 After receiving the D2D communication request of the user devices 11~13, 21~23 and 31~33, the base station 210 will according to the geographical locations of the user devices 11~13, 21~23 and 31~33. These user devices 11 to 13, 21 to 23, and 31 to 33 are divided into a plurality of groups. In this embodiment, three groups G1 to G3 are taken as an example. Since the D2D communication belongs to the near-end service, the two user devices are required to be adjacent to each other, so the base station 210 divides the user devices adjacent to each other into the same group. For example, the base station 210 divides the user devices 11 to 13 into groups G1, divides the user devices 21 to 23 into groups G2, and divides the user devices 31 to 33 into groups G3. In other words, the user devices in each of the groups G1 to G3 are geographically adjacent to each other.

將這些使用者裝置依據地域性進行分組之後,基地台210配置位於預定(predefined)載波頻段CF的發現資源池(discovery resource pool)給同一群組中的使用者裝置。圖3繪示預定載波頻 段CF、資源分配信息以及優先權信息一實施例的示意圖。請同時參照圖2及圖3,基地台210可以從上述多個PLMN對應的載波頻段中選擇其中一個來做為預定載波頻段CF,也可以透過公用的載波頻段來作為預定載波頻段CF。於部分實施例中,基地台210也可以利用系統信息區塊(System information block;SIB)、無線資源控制(RRC)協定或是實體下行共享通道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel;PDSCH)來通知各個使用者裝置11~13、21~23及31~33有關於預定載波頻段CF以及相對應之發現資源池的信息。此發現資源池的信息可稱為是資訊池信息。基地台210可在此預定載波頻段CF中選擇其中一個區塊作為資源池RP1並分配給群組G1中的使用者裝置11~13;將資源池RP2分配給群組G2中的使用者裝置21~23;將資源池RP3分配給群組G3中的使用者裝置31~33。由於這些資源池RP1、RP2及RP3是提供給使用者裝置11~13、21~23、31~33傳輸D2D通訊中的發現信息之用,因此這些資源池也可稱為是發現資源池RP1、RP2及RP3。 After grouping these user devices according to regionality, the base station 210 configures a discovery resource pool located in a predetermined carrier frequency band CF to the user devices in the same group. Figure 3 shows the predetermined carrier frequency Schematic diagram of an embodiment of segment CF, resource allocation information, and priority information. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 simultaneously, the base station 210 may select one of the carrier frequency bands corresponding to the plurality of PLMNs as the predetermined carrier frequency band CF, or may use the common carrier frequency band as the predetermined carrier frequency band CF. In some embodiments, the base station 210 may also notify each user by using a system information block (SIB), a radio resource control (RRC) protocol, or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The devices 11~13, 21~23 and 31~33 have information about the predetermined carrier frequency band CF and the corresponding discovery resource pool. The information of this discovery resource pool can be referred to as information pool information. The base station 210 may select one of the predetermined carrier frequency bands CF as the resource pool RP1 and assign it to the user devices 11 to 13 in the group G1; and allocate the resource pool RP2 to the user device 21 in the group G2. ~23; The resource pool RP3 is assigned to the user devices 31-33 in the group G3. Since these resource pools RP1, RP2, and RP3 are provided to the user devices 11~13, 21~23, and 31~33 for transmitting discovery information in the D2D communication, these resource pools may also be referred to as the discovery resource pool RP1. RP2 and RP3.

每個群組中的每個使用者裝置在得知其所屬的資源池之後,便會依據基地台210所提供的資源分配信息來傳遞其使用者裝置所對應的發現信息給其他使用者裝置。一實施例中的基地台210可利用系統信息區塊(SIB)、無線資源控制(RRC)協定或是實體下行共享通道(PDSCH)來將此資源分配信息通知對應的使用者裝置。在此以許組G3以及其中的使用者裝置31~33來做為舉例,圖2實施例中的基地台210將對應資源池RP3的資源分配信 息(如圖3中所繪示的表格320)傳遞給群組G3中的使用者裝置31~33。 Each user device in each group, after knowing the resource pool to which it belongs, transmits the discovery information corresponding to the user device to other user devices according to the resource allocation information provided by the base station 210. The base station 210 in an embodiment may notify the corresponding user equipment of the resource allocation information by using a System Information Block (SIB), a Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol, or a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH). Here, taking the group G3 and the user devices 31-33 therein as an example, the base station 210 in the embodiment of FIG. 2 will allocate resources to the resource pool RP3. The information (such as the table 320 as shown in FIG. 3) is passed to the user devices 31-33 in the group G3.

在此詳細說明資源分配信息(表格320),基地台210所使用的通訊技術可將每個發現資源池區分為多個資源塊,每個資源塊可分配給不同的使用者裝置來傳遞與其對應的發現信息。例如,對應資源池RP3的表格320中依序會讓使用者裝置11、12以及13分別傳遞與其對應的發現信息DM11、DM12以及DM13。藉此,作為傳遞發現信息的使用者裝置便可得知該在何者資源塊上傳播D2D通訊的發現信息,而不致干擾到其他使用者裝置。 The resource allocation information (table 320) is described in detail herein. The communication technology used by the base station 210 can divide each discovery resource pool into multiple resource blocks, and each resource block can be assigned to a different user device to transmit the corresponding information. Discovery information. For example, the table 320 corresponding to the resource pool RP3 sequentially causes the user devices 11, 12, and 13 to respectively transmit the discovery information DM11, DM12, and DM13 corresponding thereto. Thereby, the user device transmitting the discovery information can know the discovery information of the D2D communication on the resource block, without disturbing other user devices.

為了讓使用者裝置可以選擇性地接收及解碼所需的發現訊息且忽略無關的發現信息,本發明一實施例還可針對每個使用者裝置提供對應不同資源池的優先權信息,使用者裝置可依據這些優先權數值來判斷是否接收並解析位於表格320中的各種資源塊的發現信息。優先權信息可如圖3實施例中的表格330所示。優先權信息(表格330)可包括分別針對表格320中各個資源塊所具備的多個優先權數值(例如,表格330中的數值”1”、”2”、”3”、”n”,其中n為正整數)。由於此表格330對應資源池RP3的表格320,因此此優先權信息應提供給使用者裝置31~33其中之一(在此假設提供給使用者裝置31)。在此舉例,當優先權數值越低,則使用者裝置31便會優先地接收及解析此優先權數值所對應資源池RP3的資源塊當中的發現信息。例如,使用者裝置31在參考優先權信息(表格330)之後,便會優先地接收 及解析發現信息DM32,之後第二優先順位才是發現信息DM33。如此一來,使用者裝置31便不需要將資源池RP3中所有資源塊當中的發現信息皆逐一接收及解析,而可選擇性地忽略或延後接收並未具有優先權的發現信息,藉以提升使用者裝置在進行近端服務D2D通訊的使用效能。 In order to enable the user device to selectively receive and decode the required discovery message and ignore the irrelevant discovery information, an embodiment of the present invention may further provide priority information corresponding to different resource pools for each user device, the user device. Whether or not to receive and parse the discovery information of the various resource blocks located in the table 320 can be determined based on these priority values. The priority information can be as shown in table 330 in the embodiment of FIG. The priority information (table 330) may include a plurality of priority values (e.g., values in the table 330) 1", "2", "3", "n", respectively, for each resource block in the table 320, wherein n is a positive integer). Since this table 330 corresponds to the table 320 of the resource pool RP3, this priority information should be provided to one of the user devices 31-33 (provided here to the user device 31). For example, when the priority value is lower, the user device 31 preferentially receives and parses the discovery information among the resource blocks of the resource pool RP3 corresponding to the priority value. For example, the user device 31 will receive the priority information after referring to the priority information (table 330). And the discovery information DM32 is analyzed, and then the second priority is the discovery information DM33. In this way, the user device 31 does not need to receive and parse the discovery information among all the resource blocks in the resource pool RP3 one by one, and can selectively ignore or delay receiving the discovery information that does not have priority, thereby improving The user device is performing the performance of the near-end service D2D communication.

於本發明中,優先權信息可以已經預先設定在使用者裝置當中。舉例來說,使用者裝置31~33可預先設定資源池RP3中前五個資源塊為優先權數值最高者,務必要首先接收並解析。另一方面,本發明的優先權信息也可以依照D2D通訊的現實情況來動態地被調整後由基地台210傳送給不同的使用者裝置。舉例來說,基地台210可查看這些使用者裝置的D2D通訊請求的類型。若為特殊的急難救助類型,基地台210則將此D2D通訊請求所對應的資源塊的優先權數值設定為最高(例如為數值”1”),並透過同步傳輸協定(如系統信息區塊(SIB)、無線資源控制(RRC)協定或是實體下行共享通道(PDSCH))將已修改後的優先權信息提供至各個使用者裝置。本發明的優先權信息可以藉由表格330來呈現,基地台210也可以僅傳輸一個或數個優先權數值(例如,僅傳輸優先權數值”1”、”2”、”n”及其對應的表格欄位)至對應的使用者裝置來更新表格330。換句話說,本發明實施例並未限制優先權信息的呈現方式以及傳輸方法,應用本實施例者可以依其設定來進行資訊傳遞及信息更新。 In the present invention, the priority information may have been previously set in the user device. For example, the user devices 31-33 may preset that the first five resource blocks in the resource pool RP3 have the highest priority value, and must first receive and parse. On the other hand, the priority information of the present invention can also be dynamically adjusted in accordance with the reality of the D2D communication and transmitted by the base station 210 to different user devices. For example, base station 210 can view the type of D2D communication request for these user devices. If it is a special type of emergency rescue, the base station 210 sets the priority value of the resource block corresponding to the D2D communication request to the highest (for example, the value "1"), and transmits the synchronous transmission protocol (such as the system information block ( The SIB), the Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol, or the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH)) provides the modified priority information to each user device. The priority information of the present invention can be presented by table 330. Base station 210 can also transmit only one or several priority values (e.g., only transmit priority values 1", "2", "n" and their corresponding The table field is updated to the corresponding user device to update the table 330. In other words, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the presentation manner and the transmission method of the priority information. The application of the embodiment can perform information transmission and information update according to the setting.

在本發明中,優先權信息中的優先權數值可透過發出發 現信息的使用者裝置的通訊用途類型、公眾行動電話網路的類型或是發現信息的信息強度來決定。使用者裝置的通訊用途類型主要可分為急難救助(Public safety)以及非急難救助兩種類型。當使用者裝置的通訊用途類型為急難救助的話,表示該使用者裝置的用戶有緊急事故發生及需他人協助,因此才會使用D2D通訊來搜尋與發現附近的人員協助。因此,透過通訊用途類型為急難救助來提出D2D通訊的發現信息應為最高優先權數值。公眾行動電話網路的類型則與使用者裝置本身所在的公眾行動電話網路有關。例如,當使用者裝置31位於PLMN1中,且使用者裝置31想要與同屬於PLMN1的使用者裝置(如,使用者裝置32)相互通訊時,則在產生或更新優先權信息時,應可提高與使用者裝置31具備相同PLMM類型的其他使用者裝置的優先權數值,藉以能夠讓相同PLMM類型的多個使用者裝置進行D2D通訊。有關於PLMN的相關信息,基地台210可透過SIB19來傳輸給各個使用者裝置。 In the present invention, the priority value in the priority information can be sent out The type of communication use of the user device of the current information, the type of public mobile telephone network, or the information strength of the discovered information is determined. The types of communication uses of user devices can be mainly divided into two types: public safety and non-emergency assistance. When the communication type of the user device is urgently rescued, it means that the user of the user device has an emergency and needs assistance from others, so the D2D communication is used to search and discover the assistance of nearby people. Therefore, the discovery information for D2D communication through the type of communication use for emergency assistance should be the highest priority value. The type of public mobile telephone network is related to the public mobile telephone network in which the user device itself is located. For example, when the user device 31 is located in the PLMN1 and the user device 31 wants to communicate with the user device (e.g., the user device 32) that belongs to the PLMN1, then the priority information should be generated or updated. It is possible to increase the priority value of the other user devices of the same PLMM type as the user device 31, so that a plurality of user devices of the same PLMM type can perform D2D communication. Regarding the related information of the PLMN, the base station 210 can transmit to each user device through the SIB 19.

優先權信息中的優先權數值還可透過發現信息的信息強度來決定。雖然基地台210已經依照地理上相互鄰近的使用者裝置進行區分,但在同一群組中的各個使用者裝置仍然具備不同的距離。因此,可透過參考信號接收功率(Reference Signal Receiving Power;RSRP)技術或是參考信號接收品質(Reference Signal Receiving Quality;RSRQ)技術來量測發現資源池中各個資源塊的信號強度,進而動態調整優先權信息中的各個優先權數值。使 用者裝置可透過信號強度量測來得知該些發現信息的信息強度。另一方面,由於使用者裝置在接收與離其最近的使用者裝置的發現信息時應可獲得最強的信號強度,因此可讓鄰近的使用者裝置能夠盡速發現到對方,並進而較快地進行D2D通訊。 The priority value in the priority information can also be determined by the information strength of the discovery information. Although the base station 210 has been distinguished according to geographically adjacent user devices, each user device in the same group still has a different distance. Therefore, the reference signal receiving power (RSRP) technology or the reference signal receiving quality (RSRQ) technology can be used to measure the signal strength of each resource block in the resource pool, and then dynamically adjust the priority. Each priority value in the weight information. Make The user device can know the information strength of the discovery information through the signal strength measurement. On the other hand, since the user device should obtain the strongest signal strength when receiving the discovery information of the user device closest to it, the neighboring user device can find the other party as soon as possible, and then quickly Perform D2D communication.

For example, the user devices UE1 and UE2 can access the priority information of the resource pool. Selectively receive discovery information.
