Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of communications and particularly to a method and device for allocating a dedicated scheduling request resource.
- the Long Term Evolution (LTE)/Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LIE-A) system is a scheduling-based communication system, that is, if there is data to be transmitted in the transmission buffer of a User Equipment (UE), the UE firstly transmits a Buffer Status Report (BSR) to a base station to notify the base station of information of the data to be transmitted in the transmission buffer of the UE.
- BSR Buffer Status Report
- the base station Upon reception of the BSR transmitted from the UE, the base station will allocate the related Uplink-Shared Channel (UL-SCH) resource to the UE according to the amount of the data to be transmitted of the UE and the service type and instruct the UE to transmit the data on the allocated UL-SCH resource.
- UL-SCH Uplink-Shared Channel
- the UE transmits the BSR to the base station also on the Uplink-Shared Channel (UL-SCH) resource, and if there is a BSR to be transmitted but no uplink-shared channel resource is available, a Scheduling Request will be triggered to request the base station to allocate an uplink-shared channel resource for the BSR to be transmitted.
- UL-SCH Uplink-Shared Channel
- the SR may be transmitted in either of two ways, i.e., the SR is transmitted on a Dedicated Scheduling Request (D-SR) resource or in a Random Access procedure (RA-SR).
- D-SR Dedicated Scheduling Request
- RA-SR Random Access procedure
- D-SR resource is allocated by RRC signaling and transmits on Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH).
- an SR is transmitted under such a fundamental principle that no RA-SR will be used so long as the D-SR resource is available. And the SR can be transmitted repeatedly on the D-SR resource until the UE gets the uplink-shared channel resource allocated by the base station.

Abstract
Description
- The present application is a US National Stage of International Application No. PCT/CN2010/072318, filed 29 Apr. 2010, designating the United States, and claiming priorities to Chinese Patent Applications No. 200910083408.9 filed 30 Apr. 2009 and No. 201010158488.2 filed 28 Apr. 2010.
- The present invention relates to the field of communications and particularly to a method and device for allocating a dedicated scheduling request resource.
- The Long Term Evolution (LTE)/Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LIE-A) system is a scheduling-based communication system, that is, if there is data to be transmitted in the transmission buffer of a User Equipment (UE), the UE firstly transmits a Buffer Status Report (BSR) to a base station to notify the base station of information of the data to be transmitted in the transmission buffer of the UE. Upon reception of the BSR transmitted from the UE, the base station will allocate the related Uplink-Shared Channel (UL-SCH) resource to the UE according to the amount of the data to be transmitted of the UE and the service type and instruct the UE to transmit the data on the allocated UL-SCH resource.
- The UE transmits the BSR to the base station also on the Uplink-Shared Channel (UL-SCH) resource, and if there is a BSR to be transmitted but no uplink-shared channel resource is available, a Scheduling Request will be triggered to request the base station to allocate an uplink-shared channel resource for the BSR to be transmitted.
- After the SR is triggered, the SR may be transmitted in either of two ways, i.e., the SR is transmitted on a Dedicated Scheduling Request (D-SR) resource or in a Random Access procedure (RA-SR). When the LTE and the base station are synchronized, there may be no available D-SR resource, and when they are unsynchronized, there must be no D-SR resource. D-SR resource is allocated by RRC signaling and transmits on Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH).
- Generally, an SR is transmitted under such a fundamental principle that no RA-SR will be used so long as the D-SR resource is available. And the SR can be transmitted repeatedly on the D-SR resource until the UE gets the uplink-shared channel resource allocated by the base station.
- In the LTE system, an uplink dedicated scheduling request is transmitted on PUCCH according to PUCCH format1/1a/1b for which a symbol is spread in the frequency domain by being multiplied with a 12-bit cyclic shift sequence to form a 12-bit sequence of symbols, which is in turn spread in the time domain by being multiplied with a 4-bit orthogonal sequence and mapped onto 12×4 time and frequency locations of a Physical Resource Block (PRB) on a timeslot, where three symbols are used for transmission of a Reference Signal (RS), and different users borne on the same PRB are distinguished with different cyclic shift values for a fundamental sequence.
- In the system, a part of the PUCCH resource is typically reserved for each subframe as a cell-specific SR resource so that the PUCCH resource is shared amongst UEs in the cell and the base station allocates the cell-specific SR resource to the UEs in the cell according to a specific resource allocation strategy and notifies the D-SR PUCCH resource index, period and subframe offset to the UE by RRC signaling. The meanings of parameters in the RRC signaling are depicted in Table 1, where the RRC signaling includes sr-PUCCH-ResourceIndex, sr-ConfigurationIndex and dsr-TransMax, with their meanings as depicted in the table.
-
TABLE 1 Parameter The Meaning of Parameter sr-PUCCH- This parameter designates a resource index of a ResourceIndex PUCCH resource in a subframe, which is allocated to the UE for transmission of a D-SR. sr-ConfigurationIndex This parameter represents the period and subframe offset by which a D-SR is transmitted, UE can determine its D-SR resource according to this parameter and the starting subframe of the D-SR resource. dsr-TransMax This parameter represents the maximum number of transmissions that a D-SR can be transmitted, and the purpose of introducing this parameter is to improve the reliability of the D-SR. - The peak rates of the LTE-A are significantly increased compared with the LTE system, and 1 Gbps in the downlink and 500 Mbps in the uplink are required. Also the LTE-A system is required to be well compatible with the LTE system. Carrier Aggregation (CA) has been introduced to the LTE-A system in order to reach the increased peak rates, compatible with the LTE system and full use of the spectrum resource.
- Carrier aggregation means that UE can aggregate more than one cell simultaneously, which is different from the legacy radio systems who can only aggregate one cell at a time. In a system supporting carrier aggregation, component carriers may or may not be continuous, and for compatibility with the LTE system, the maximum bandwidth of each component carriers is 20 MHz, and the bandwidths of different component carriers may be same or not.
- As for the definition of a primary carrier, a plurality of component carriers may be supported in the uplink in the LTE-A system, and there is no definite concept of a primary carrier so far, which may be cell-specific or UE-specific.

- Referring to
FIG. 1 , a method according to an embodiment of the invention includes the following steps. - In a
step 101, in a system supporting carrier aggregation, a carrier resource is configured for a user equipment according to a preset scheduling criterion, and time and frequency resources are allocated on the configured carrier resource, where the carrier resource and/or the time and frequency resources are regarded as a dedicated scheduling request resource. - Here a carrier resource may be chosen for the user equipment according to a preset scheduling criterion as follows: a carrier resource may be chosen randomly according to UE capability information of the user equipment, a carrier resource may be chosen according to a load balance criterion, or a primary carrier may be chosen as a dedicated scheduling request resource of the user equipment. The chosen carrier resource may include one or more uplink component carriers.
- The dedicated scheduling request resource may include information on time and frequency resources of one uplink component carrier allocated to the user equipment at any moment of time or information on time and frequency resources of a plurality of uplink component carriers allocated for the user equipment at any preset moment of time.
- When a plurality of uplink component carriers are chosen, the user equipment may be configured to transmit a dedicated scheduling request on each of the uplink component carriers, or the user equipment may be configured to transmit a dedicated scheduling request on only one uplink component carrier in one subframe and the chosen uplink component carriers can be used in turn at different subframes.
- In a
step 102, the user equipment is notified of the carrier resource and/or the time and frequency resources. - Implementation solutions of the invention are detailed below in connection with embodiments thereof.
- Reference is made to
FIG. 2 illustrating such an implementation solution that a base station chooses an uplink component carrier according to the capability of the user equipment in the present embodiment as follows. - In a
step 201, a base station determines uplink component carriers supported by the user equipment according to capability information reported from the user equipment. The capability information reported from the user equipment includes information of the uplink component carriers supported by the user equipment. - In a
step 202, one uplink component carrier is chosen randomly from the uplink component carriers supported by the user equipment as a carrier resource of a dedicated scheduling request of the user equipment. - In a
step 203, a resource index of a PUCCH resource on which the dedicated scheduling request is borne is allocated on the chosen uplink component carrier to the user equipment. - In a
step 204, a period and an offset at which the user equipment transmits the dedicated scheduling request are determined for the user equipment. The resource index of the PUCCH resource allocated in thestep 203 and the period and offset determined in thestep 204 are used as information on time and frequency resources configured for the user equipment. - In a
step 205, the user equipment is notified in an extended RRC signaling of the chosen uplink component carrier and/or the information on the configured time and frequency resources. - A component carrier indication field may be added to an existing RRC signaling so that the extended RRC signaling includes a frequency resource indication field and a time-frequency resource indication filed, and the frequency resource indication field is used to store the carrier information for the dedicated scheduling request, and the time-frequency resource indication filed is used to store the time and frequency resources for the dedicated scheduling request. The time and frequency resources include the resource index of the PUCCH resource, the period and offset for the dedicated scheduling request. The carrier information includes the index of the carrier on which the dedicated scheduling request is transmitted or the frequency of the uplink component carrier. Furthermore, the RRC signaling may include the maximum number of transmissions that the dedicated scheduling request can be transmitted.
- For example, the extended RRC signaling is depicted in Table 2. Referring to Table 2, in an embodiment of the invention, a parameter, i.e., an index of a UE-specific D-SR resource (sr-Componentcarrier), can be added optionally compared with the SR configuration information elements in the protocol of LTE Release 8 (R8), so that the extended RRC signaling includes at least the UE-specific D-SR resource index (sr-Componetcarrier), and the period and offset (sr-ConfigurationIndex). Where sr-Componentcarrier represents the component carrier index assigned for the D-SR, sr-ConfigurationIndex represents the period and the subframe offset for transmission of a D-SR. The specific subframe in which a UE transmits a D-SR can be determined according to the parameter of sr-ConfigurationIndex and the starting subframe of a configured D-SR resource.
- The RRC signaling may further include dsr-TransMax, which represents the maximum number of transmissions that a D-SR can be transmitted, and the purpose of this parameter is to improve the reliability of the D-SR.
- It shall be noted that if the chosen carrier resource is the primary carrier, information indicating the carrier may not be carried in RRC signaling.

TABLE 2 Parameter The Meaning of Parameter sr-PUCCH- The parameter designates a resource index of a ResourceIndex PUCCH resource in a subframe, which is allocated to the UE for transmission of a D-SR. sr-ConfigurationIndex The parameter represents a period and a subframe offset at which a D-SR is transmitted, and a specific subframe in which the UE transmits a D-SR may be determined according to the parameter and a starting subframe of a configured D-SR resource. dsr-TransMax The parameter represents the maximum number of times that a D-SR is transmitted, and the purpose of the parameter is to improve the reliability of the D-SR. sr-Componentcarrier The parameter designates an index of a component carrier for an SR. . . . . . . - Reference is made to
FIG. 3 illustrating an example in which a primary carrier is configured as a dedicated scheduling request resource of a user equipment in the present embodiment particularly as follows. - In a
step 301, a base station configures a primary carrier as a carrier resource of a dedicated scheduling request of a user equipment. - If the uplink primary carrier is UE-specific, the base station may determine it per UE and use it as the D-SR sending carrier for this UE. If the uplink primary carrier is cell-specific, the eNB can assign the cell-specific primary carrier as the UE-specific dedicated scheduling resource.
- In a
step 302, a resource index of a PUCCH resource used for carrying dedicated scheduling request will be allocated to the user equipment on the primary carrier. - In a
step 303, the period and offset used to carry the dedicated scheduling request will be determined for the user equipment. - The allocated resource index of the PUCCH resource together with the determined period and offset can be used to deduce the time and frequency resources for transmitting the dedicated scheduling request for this user equipment.
- In a
step 304, the user equipment is notified by an RRC signaling to inform the configured primary cell and/or the time and frequency resources for transmitting the dedicated scheduling request. - If UE already knows which uplink component carrier is the primary carrier, the RRC signaling can only carry the UE-specific D-SR resource index, period and subframe offset. The current RRC signaling is enough, not need to be extended.
- Reference is made to
FIG. 4 illustrating such a solution of the invention that a carrier resource is chosen according to a load balance criterion in the present embodiment will be described by way of an example particularly as follows. - In a
step 401, a base station determines uplink component carriers supported by the user equipment according to capability information reported from the user equipment. - In a
step 402, one uplink component carrier is chosen from the uplink component carriers supported by the user equipment as a dedicated scheduling request resource of the user equipment according to a load balance criterion dependent upon information on loads of the uplink component carriers supported by the user equipment. - In a
step 403, a resource index of a PUCCH resource on which a dedicated scheduling request is borne is allocated on the chosen uplink component carrier to the user equipment. - In a
step 404, a period and an offset at which the user equipment transmits the dedicated scheduling request are determined for the user equipment, that is, a specific subframe is configured in which the user equipment transmits the dedicated scheduling request on the chosen uplink component carrier. - In a
step 405, the user equipment is notified in an RRC signaling of the chosen uplink component carrier and/or information on configured time and frequency resources. - A component carrier indication field may be added into an existing RRC signaling as in the embodiment illustrated in
FIG. 2 , and reference may be made to Table 2 for details thereof. - Reference is made to
FIG. 5 illustrating such a solution of the invention that a dedicated scheduling request resource is allocated in a frequency-hopping mode in the present embodiment will be described by way of an example. In the present embodiment, a dedicated scheduling request may be hopped in frequency in a group of a part or all of uplink component carriers in a temporal order of subframes, but a dedicated scheduling request resource can be allocated on only one uplink component carrier in a subframe. - In a
step 501, a base station determines uplink component carriers supported by a user equipment according to capability information reported from the user equipment. - In a
step 502, more than one uplink component carriers are chosen from the uplink component carriers supported by the user equipment. - In a
step 503, a resource index of a PUCCH resource on which a dedicated scheduling request is borne is allocated on the chosen uplink component carriers to the user equipment. - In a
step 504, a period and an offset at which the user equipment transmits the dedicated scheduling request are determined for the user equipment. - The resource index of the PUCCH resource allocated in the
step 503 and the period and offset determined in thestep 504 are used as information on time and frequency resources configured for the user equipment. - For example, the base station chooses a number N of ones from the uplink component carriers supported by the UE, where N is larger than one and smaller than or equal to the number of uplink component carriers supported by the UE, and determines a carrier allocating in a subframe an SR resource according to such a criterion that only one component carrier is used in a subframe and switching is performed between the component carriers in the different subframes.
- Referring to
FIG. 6 , the base station chooses four uplink component carriers, e.g., CC1, CC2, CC3 and CC4, as a dedicated scheduling request resource, and configures CC1 with subframes of anuplink subframe 1, anuplink subframe 5 and anuplink subframe 9, configures CC2 with subframes of anuplink subframe 2 and anuplink subframe 6, configures CC3 with subframes of anuplink subframe 3 and anuplink subframe 7 and configures CC4 with subframes of anuplink subframe 4 and anuplink subframe 8. - That is, the user equipment may transmit a dedicated scheduling request on CC1 in the
uplink subframes uplink subframes uplink subframes - In a
step 505, the user equipment is notified in an RRC signaling of the chosen carriers and/or information on the configured time and frequency resources. Stated otherwise, the base station notifies in an RRC signaling the location, period and offset of the UE-specific D-SR resource. - Referring to Table 3, an existing RRC signaling may be extended in the present embodiment so that the extended RRC signaling includes a frequency-hopping mode indication (hopping-mode) field and a group of hop component carriers indication (cc-group) field, where the group of hop component carriers indication field is used to store a group of hop component carriers of the user equipment, and the frequency-hopping mode indication field is used to store time and frequency information corresponding to each of the carriers in the group of hop component carriers. The carrier information includes the indexs of the carriers of the dedicated scheduling request resource or information on frequency points of the uplink component carriers as the dedicated scheduling request resource of the user equipment. Of course, the frequency-hopping mode indication field may be omitted if there is only one predefined hopping mode.
