Definitions
- the present invention is generally concerned with mobile radiocommunication systems.
- the present invention is more particularly concerned with power control techniques used in such systems to improve performances (in terms of quality of service, of capacity, . . . etc.).
- the present invention is in particular applicable to mobile radiocommunication systems of CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) type.
- the present invention is applicable to UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System).
- the CDMA is a multiple access technique which makes it possible for several users to be simultaneously active, using different spreading codes.
- the quality of the link from a BTS to a MS depends on the ratio of the received signal power and the interference power at the MS (SIR: signal-to-interference ratio).
- SIR signal-to-interference ratio
- some algorithms are usually used in order to keep the SIR of each MS as close as possible to the target SIR at the receiver, like the inner loop power control algorithm.
- the principle of the inner loop power control algorithm is that the MS periodically estimates the SIR of the received signal from the BTS, and compares this SIR to the target SIR (SIR target ). If this estimated SIR is lower than the target SIR, the MS sends a command to the BTS for the BTS to increase its transmit power. Otherwise, the MS sends a command to the BTS for the BTS to decrease its transmit power.
- the target SIR is chosen by the MS (or BTS) in function of the required quality of service.
- Another and usually slower power control algorithm namely outer loop power control algorithm, enables to choose the best value of the target SIR.
- the principle of this algorithm is to regularly evaluate the quality of the transmission (BER, BLER, . . . ) and to compare this quality with the required quality of service (for example BER of 10 ⁇ 3 for speech service, BLER of 0.1 for packet service, . . . ). If this quality is below the required quality of service, the target SIR is increased. Otherwise, the target SIR is decreased.
- This algorithm is usually slow, since the quality needs to be averaged over several frames in order to have a reliable estimate. Of course many variants of this basic algorithm exist.
- the target SIR may change significantly during the transmission. For example, this is the case when the spreading factor of the physical data channel changes. Indeed, the lowest the spreading factor of this channel, the largest the required transmit power. The spreading factor can change frequently in variable rate services such as packet service. Indeed, if the spreading factor changes, the target SIR will vary much (in the ratio of the spreading factor variation). It is also the case if the MS requires to change of service, since each service has a different target SIR.
- Another example is the compressed mode.
- the mobile In an inter-frequency hard handover, the mobile needs to make measurements on a frequency different from the frequency used for the downlink transmission. Thus, the base station needs to stop its transmission towards the concerned mobile, in order to allow this mobile to make measurements on this other frequency.
- this In the UMTS standard, this is known as downlink compressed mode (i.e. the downlink transmission is temporarily stopped).
- Uplink compressed mode is also possible to make measurements on frequencies that are close to the uplink frequency.
- the periods where transmission is stopped are usually called transmission gaps, and the frames including transmission gaps are usually called compressed frames.
- the transmission rate has to be correspondingly increased. Therefore, during compressed mode, since the inner loop power control is regularly stopped, and since the transmission rate is correspondingly increased, the target SIR needs to be larger to reach the same quality of service than during non-compressed, or normal, mode.
- the target SIR will not change immediately and the transmission quality will be degraded during several frames. In extreme cases, this could cause the lost of the call.
- the target SIR needs to be changed only at certain fixed time to enable the mobile to perform measurements and then the target SIR needs to be changed back to the previous value.
- the outer-loop power control algorithm will not be able to track such quick variations of SIR.
- the target SIR increase due to the increased instantaneous bit rate and the target SIR increase due to degraded performances in compressed frames (i.e. due to transmission gaps) may be separated.
- ⁇ SIR 10log(R CF /R)+ ⁇ S IR
- R is the instantaneous net bit rate before and after the compressed frame
- R CF is the instantaneous net bit rate during the compressed frame
- 10log(R cF /R) is equal to 3 dB for UMTS, where the matching rate is the same for compressed and non compressed frames, when compressed mode by reducing the spreading factor by a factor of 2 is used.
- ⁇ SIR Since the bit rate variation will be known by the UE, only the additional target SIR increase ⁇ SIR due to degraded performances during compressed frames may be signaled.
- the signaling overhead can be low if this variation is signaled with other compressed mode parameters (including transmission gap length (or period where transmission is stopped, periodicity, . . . ). For example, 2 bits could enable to signal the following values of ⁇ SIR :
- ⁇ SIR could be directly signaled, but a larger number of bits would be required.
- the UE will have to increase the target SIR by ⁇ SIR just before the compressed frames (or just after the transmission gap of the compressed frames) and decrease it back by the same value just after the compressed frames.
- This target SIR variation is done additionally to the usual downlink outer-loop algorithm that will have to take it into account.
- the Node B may increase simultaneously its transmit power by the same amount before the compressed frame and decrease it just after the compressed frames in order for the downlink received SIR to be as quickly as possible close to this new target SIR.
- the performances in recovery frames can also be degraded because of the power control interruption during the transmission gap. Therefore, it would be also desirable to increase the target SIR in recovery frames and to signal this target SIR increase to the UE.
- the same value ( ⁇ SIR ) as for compressed frames could be used in order to decrease the required signaling.
- Compressed mode by puncturing has some particularities, which can be recalled by reference to the UMTS system for example.
- UMTS One feature of UMTS is the possibility to transport multiple services on a same connection, i.e. multiple transport channels on a same physical channel.
- Transport Channels or TrCHs are separately processed according to a channel coding scheme (including error detecting, error correcting, rate matching, and interleaving) before being time-multiplexed to form a Coded Composite Transport Channel or CCTrCH to be mapped onto one or more physical channels.
- Processing according to this channel coding scheme is on a TTI (Transmission Time Interval) basis.
- rate matching includes the two techniques of puncturing and repeating; besides, an inter-frame interleaving is performed on the TTI length, or interleaving depth.
- each TTI is segmented into frames, and, after that, time-multiplexing and mapping on the physical channlel(s) are performed on a frame basis.
- Puncturing in compressed mode which is included in rate matching, and which an be provided in addition to puncturing or repetition in normal mode, can either be performed on a frame basis or on a TTI basis.
- TTI can be equal to 10, 20, 40, or 80 ms.
- TTIi This is illustrated in FIG.
- TTI 40 ms for TrCH 1
- TTI 20 ms for TrCH 2
- a frame length equal to 10 ms.
- the case of four consecutive frames sent on a physical channel is illustrated by way of example, and the case of a transmission gap TG overlapping two consecutive frames (in the circumstances the second and the third one of the four illustrated frames) is also illustrated by way of example.
- n different TTI lengths in the CCTrCH (i.e. “n” transport channels multiplexed into the CCTrCH)
- DeltaSIR DeltaSIR
- T i is the number of frames in the TTIi
- TGL Fi is the gap length in slots (either from one gap, or a sum of several gaps) within those F i frames
- This method (hereafter also referred to as second method) therefore requires additional signaling compared to the above-recalled one (hereafter also referred to as first method) according to the above-mentioned prior patent application.
- the values DeltaSIRi are signaled for each value of “i”, i.e. for all possible values of TTI for the TrCHs multiplexed into the CCTrCH, therefore up to four values (the four possible values for TTI).
- this second method does not make an efficient use of available radio resources, or needlessly contributes to a traffic increase in the network.
- this second method increases the complexity, compared to the first one.
- What would also be desirable is a method which would not involve a further increase in the amount of signalling and the complexity compared to the first method, while still providing an efficient compensation, in special cases of occurrence of compressed frames, such as when a transmission gap overlaps two consecutive frames.

- the target SIR In compressed mode by reducing the spreading factor, the target SIR needs to be different from the target SIR in normal mode for mainly two reasons:
- the target SIR needs to be increased mainly for compressed and recovery frames as proposed in the above-mentioned first method.
- the target SIR would need to be changed, to compensate for the transmission rate increase provided by a compressed frame, not only during the compressed frame but also in all frames that belong to the TTI containing the transmission gap for each transport channel.
- the target SIR needs to be changed, to compensate for the degradation due to a transmission gap, only during the compressed frame and/or at least one recovery frame following the compressed frame.
- the target SIR increase for the CCTrCh has to be determined accordingly.
- the target SIR increase due to the transmission rate increase in compressed mode by puncturing may be the maximum of the target SIR increase needed for each transport channel of the CCTrCh (obviously, other choices could be done).
- this component of the target SIR increase does not need to be signaled to the UE.
- the other component of this target SIR increase, intended to compensate for the transmission gaps can be determined according to various ways as described below, and may be signaled to the UE.
- it does not need to be signaled for each TTIi (or each TrCHi), thereby enabling to reduce the amount of signaling, as already indicated.
- the present invention proposes for example the following algorithm:
- ⁇ SIR max ( ⁇ SIR 1 _compression, . . . , ⁇ SIRn_compression)+ ⁇ SIR_coding
- n is the number of TTI lengths for all TrChs of the CCTrCh
- F i is the length in number of frames of the i-th TTI
- ⁇ SIR_coding fulfills:
- ⁇ SIR max ( ⁇ SIR 1 _compression, . . . , ⁇ SIRn_compression)+ ⁇ SIR_coding
- n is the number of TTI lengths for all TrChs of the CCTrCh
- F i is the length in number of frames of the i-th Tri
- ⁇ SIR_coding fulfills:
- the invention also proposes, in either of these two algorithms, and also by way of example:
- max ( ⁇ SIR 1 _compression, . . . , ⁇ SIRn_compression) corresponds to said first component of the target SIR offset ⁇ SIRframe (it being noted that, as defined in the last algorithm, it applies to both types of compressed mode, by puncturing or by reducing the spreading factor), and ⁇ SIR_coding corresponds to said second component of this target SIR offset.
- the second component ⁇ SIR_coding of the target SIR offset has different values for the compressed and the recovery frames, respectively a compressed-frame value DeltaSIR, and a recovery-frame value DeltaSIRafter.
- this solution (for the case where the transmission gap overlaps two consecutive frames) also applies to the above-mentioned first method.
- the invention uses the idea of compressed and recovery frames to simplify the signalling and the architecture of the equipments, while still providing an efficient compensation for the compressed mode, in various types of compressed mode and/or various cases of occurrence of compressed frames.
- the UE in downlink for example, the UE will have to increase the target SIR by this offset, and then decrease it back by the same value when this increase no longer applies.
- This target SIR variation is done additionally to the usual downlink outer-loop algorithm that will have to take it into account.
- the Node B may increase simultaneously its transmit power, and then decrease it back by the same value when it no longer applies, in order for the downlink received SIR to be as quickly as possible close to the new target SIR.

In either case, they may be updated during operation. They may also be determined during operation based on previously obtained values, for example by averaging. In any case the obtention mode of said predetermined values should take into account all factors that are likely to influence said component of said offset, or combinations of such factors.
- they may be determined and/or updated in any of said two entities, based on statistics on previously obtained values, available either locally in this entity, or signalled to this entity by the other one of said entities.

Abstract
-
- an offset is applied in an anticipated way to said transmission quality target value to compensate for the effects of a compressed mode whereby transmission is interrupted during transmission gaps in compressed frames, and the transmission rate is correspondingly increased to compensate for said transmission gaps,
- said offset includes a first component intended to compensate for the effects of said transmission rate increase, and a second component intended to compensate for the effects of said transmission gaps,
- said transmission rate increase applies not only for a compressed frame but for a plurality of frames including said compressed frame, and said second component is not applied for all frames of said plurality of frames, but only for said compressed frame and/or for at least one frame, or recovery frame, following said compressed frame.
Description
ΔSIR=10log(RCF/R)+δSIR
where R is the instantaneous net bit rate before and after the compressed frame and RCF is the instantaneous net bit rate during the compressed frame (it being understood that the term “instantaneous bit rate” means that for a compressed frame, the time period used to calculate this rate is not the whole frame period but only the fraction of this frame period where data are transmitted); for example, 10log(RcF/R) is equal to 3 dB for UMTS, where the matching rate is the same for compressed and non compressed frames, when compressed mode by reducing the spreading factor by a factor of 2 is used.
-
- −00: 0 dB
- −01: 0.5 dB
- −10: 1 dB
- −11: 2 dB
-
- reducing the spreading factor in the compressed frame, enabling to increase the instantaneous bit rate and thus to stop the transmission during a few slots,
- using puncturing (i.e. several bits obtained after channel coding are not transmitted, so that the same amount of information bits can be sent over a shorter period, knowing that the channel coding will still enable to decode all information bits).

- means for signalling to said mobile station the occurrence of said compressed mode.
-
- means for signalling said offset to said mobile station, together with the signalling of the occurrence of said compressed mode.
-
- For the compressed frame, the net bit rate is increased and thus the target SIR is increased in the same proportion. The target SIR increase indB is equal to 10 log (RCFR), where R is the instantaneous net bit rate before and after the compressed frame and RCF is the instantaneous net bit rate during the compressed frame (it being understood that the term “instantaneous bit rate” means that for a compressed frame, the time period used to calculate this rate is not the whole frame period but only the fraction of this frame period where data are transmitted); for example, 10log(RcF/R) is equal to 3 dB for UMTS, where the matching rate is the same for compressed and non compressed frames, when compressed mode by reducing the spreading factor by a factor of 2 is used. This increase can be computed in the MS and thus does not need to be signaled.
- Since the inner-loop power control is stopped during the transmission gap, the performance is decreased during several slots after the transmission gap. This effect mainly occurs during the compressed frame and during one frame (called recovery frame) following the compressed frame. It is negligible for other frames.
-
- On the compressed frame when the compressed mode is performed by reducing the spreading factor of the physical channel.
- On the whole TTI containing the transmission gap for each transport channel of the considered CCTrCh when compressed mode is performed by puncturing. Indeed in the UMTS standard, puncturing is performed on a TTI per TTI basis and for each transport channel of the CCTrCh.

- For each transport channel of the CCTrCh: in frames that belong to the TTI where there is a transmission gap, the bit rate is increased and thus the target SIR is increased in the same proportion. Let F be the number of frames in the TTI. Since only (N*F−TGL) slots are used in the TTI where there is a transmission gap compared to N*F slots in other TTIs, the target SIR increase in dB is equal to 10 log (F*N/(F*N−TGL)) for all frames of the TTI (and not only the compressed frame). This increase can be computed in the MS and thus does not need to be signaled.
- Since the inner-loop power control is stopped during the transmission gap, the performance is decreased during several slots after the transmission gap. This effect however mainly occurs during the compressed frame and during one frame (called recovery frame) following the compressed frame, and not for all frames of the TTI, as recognized and advantageously used by the present invention in order to reduce the amount of required signaling. Indeed, if the component of the target SIR offset which is intended to compensate for the effects of the transmission gap is only applied for the compressed frame and for the recovery frame, this component does not need to be different for each of the TrCHi which are multiplexed into the CCTrCH. Besides, these frames are sufficient to compensate for the effects of power control interruption during a transmission gap, and they are also sufficient to compensate for the effects of coding degradation due to a transmission gap for each TrCHi, because this degradation mainly affects the shortest TTIs. This component can only, at least if necessary, be different for each type of frame (i.e. compressed or recovery) for which it is applied, but this, nevertheless, still requires less signaling than in the above-mentioned second method.
- Besides, this still applies to the case of more than one recovery frame, if more than one recovery frame is found necessary to compensate for the effects of a transmission gap, and this also applies to the case where this compensation would be performed on the compressed frame only, or on the recovery frame(s) only.
ΔSIR=max (ΔSIR1_compression, . . . , ΔSIRn_compression)+ΔSIR_coding
where “n” is the number of TTI lengths for all TrChs of the CCTrCh, Fi is the length in number of frames of the i-th TTI and where ΔSIR_coding fulfills:
-
- ΔSIR_coding=DeltaSIR for compressed frames
- ΔSIR_coding=DeltaSIRafter for recovery frames
- ΔSIR_coding=0 otherwise and ΔSIRi_compression is defined by:
- ΔSIRi_compression=10 log (N*Fi/(N*Fi−TGLi)) if there is a transmission gap within the current TTI of length Fi frames, where TGLi is the gap length in number of slots (either from one gap or a sum of gaps) in the current TTI of length Fi frames, and N is the number of slots per frame (N=15 in the UMTS standard)
- ΔSIRi_compression=0 otherwise.
ΔSIR=max (ΔSIR1_compression, . . . , ΔSIRn_compression)+ΔSIR_coding
where “n” is the number of TTI lengths for all TrChs of the CCTrCh, Fi is the length in number of frames of the i-th Tri and where ΔSIR_coding fulfills:
-
- ΔSIR_coding=DeltaSIR for compressed frames
- ΔSIR_coding=DeltaSIRafter for recovery frames
- ΔSIR_coding=0 otherwise and ΔSIRi_compression is defined by:
- ΔSIRi_compression=10 log (N*Fi/(N*Fi−TGLi)) if there is a transmission gap within the current TTI of length Fi frames, where TGLi is the gap length in number of slots (either from one gap or a sum of gaps) in the current TTI of length Fi frames
- ΔSIRi_compression=0 otherwise
- If the frames are compressed by reducing the spreading factor:
- ΔSIRi_compression=10 log (RCF/R) for each compressed frame, where R is the instantaneous net bit rate before and after the compressed frame and RCF is the instantaneous net bit rate during the compressed frame (it being understood that the term “instantaneous bit rate” means that for a compressed frame, the time period used to calculate this rate is not the whole frame period but only the fraction of this frame period where data are transmitted); for example, in downlink, 10log (RCF/R) is equal to 3 dB for UMTS, where the matching rate is the same for compressed and non compressed frames, when compressed mode by reducing the spreading factor by a factor of 2 is used. In uplink, on the contrary, ΔSIRi_compression is equal to 10 log ((15−TGL)/15) because the matching rate is not the same for compressed and non compressed frames. Besides, in the case where the information rate is simply reduced, in order not to have to compress the frames by modifying the repetition/puncturing rate and/or the spreading factor (this method also being referred to as “higher layer scheduling”), the term ΔSIRi_compression is equal to zero.
- ΔSIRi_compression=0 otherwise.
-
- In the particular case where the transmission gap overlaps two frames (case also referred to as “double-frame method” is UMTS), the second compressed frame (with the second part of the transmission gap) is considered as the recovery frame (ΔSIR_coding=DeltaSIRafter). Thus, in this case, the first frame following the two consecutive compressed frames is not considered as a recovery frame (ΔSIR_coding=0).
- Since several compressed mode patterns may be used simultaneously (i.e. one or more frames compressed by reducing the spreading factor may occur in a TTI already including one or more frames compressed by puncturing), it may happen that several target SIR offsets from different compressed mode patterns apply to the same frame. In this case, all offsets are added and the total target SIR offset is applied to the frame.
-
- In the particular case where the transmission gap overlaps two frames, the second compressed frame (with the second part of the transmission gap) could alternatively be considered as a compressed frame (ΔSIR_coding=DeltaSIR) and the first frame following these two consecutive compressed frames could be considered as a recovery frame (ΔSIR_coding=DeltaSiRafter). In yet another alternative, the second compressed frame could be considered as a compressed and recovery frame (ΔSIR_coding=DeltaSIR+DeltaSIRafter, or any other combination). Or more generally, and in order to reduce the amount of signalling and the complexity, the component ΔSIR_coding would be determined based on the values DeltaSIR and DeltaSIRafter, without signalling any further value(s).
-
- Besides, in general, the compressed-frame value and the recovery-frame value may, or not, be different. Only for illustration and without any limitative character, if a transmission gap does not overlap two consecutive frames, the recovery-frame value could rather be chosen inferior to the compressed-frame value, and if a transmission gap overlaps two consecutive frames, the recovery-frame value could rather be chosen superior to the compressed-frame value (though in this last case it could also depend on various parameters such as the transmission gap length and the position of the transmission gap).
- Besides, the transmission gap length may be different for different transmission gaps; in such a case said compressed-frame value and/or recovery frame value may be different for said different transmission gap lengths.
- It can be seen from the last disclosed algorithm that it presents very few differences for the two types of compressed mode (by puncturing and by reducing the spreading factor). These differences could still be reduced by providing that for frames other than compressed and recovery frames, we could always set ΔSIR_compression=0. This would make the scheme a little simpler and is a good approximation. Indeed for the UMTS standard, TGL<8 and F=4 or 8 for these frames (since they are not a compressed or recovery frame). Thus, 10 log (F*N/(F*N−TGL) is about 0.54 dB.
- With these algorithms, as with the above-mentioned first method, ΔSIR_coding is signaled for the compressed and recovery frames. It could also be signaled only for compressed frames, taking a predefined value for the recovery frames (0, the same value as in the compressed frames, . . . ) as in the above-mentioned first method. It could also be signaled only for recovery frame(s), taking a predefined value for the compressed frames (0, the same value as in the recovery frames, . . . )
- For compressed and recovery frames, ΔSIR could be directly signaled to the MS by the BTS (i.e. the two components of this offset, and not only the second one, could be signaled).
- The function “max (ΔSIR1_compression, . . . , ΔSIRn_compression)” could be replaced by another function such as for example “means (ΔSIR1_compression, . . . , ΔSIRn_compression)”, where “mean” stands for any type of averaging function (arithmetic, geometric, harmonic, . . . ), or 0.
- More generally, instead of distinguishing the two methods for compressed mode: compressed mode by puncturing, compressed mode by reducing the spreading factor, the proposed algorithm can rather distinguish two situations:
- the net bit rate is increased on a frame basis and only in the compressed frame (in particular compressed mode by reducing the spreading factor),
- the net bit rate is increased for each transport channel and on a TTI basis (in particular compressed mode by puncturing), or more generally it is increased not only for a compressed frame but for a plurality of frames including the compressed frame.
- The signaled value ΔSIR_coding, or second component of said offset, could have a negative value, which could for example enable to compensate for a too large value of the first component of said offset, in particular in the case where said first component is obtained according to the function max (ΔSIR1_compression, . . . , ΔSIRn_compression).
