Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods and apparatus of transmitting Acknowledgement (ACK) and Category 0 bits in a Wireless communication System, and more particularly, to process and apparatus of transmitting Acknowledgement (ACK)/NonAcknowledgement (NACK) and Category 0 bits minimizing the usage of base-station resources in both transmission power and time-frequency transmission opportunity for a designated target coverage at a designated bit error rate.
- Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing is a technology to multiplex data in frequency domain. Modulation symbols are carried on frequency sub-carriers. The total bandwidth in an OFDM system is divided into narrowband frequency units called subcarriers. The number of subcarriers is equal to the FFT/IFFT size N used in the system. As a general rule, the number of subcarriers used for data is less than N because some of the subcarriers located at the edge of the frequency spectrum are reserved as guard subcarriers. As a general rule, no information may be transmitted on guard subcarriers.
- OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
- a typical cellular radio system includes a collection of fixed base stations (BS) that define a radio coverage area or a cell.
- BS fixed base stations
- NLOS non-line-of-sight
- the radio waves propagate via reflections, diffractions and scattering.
- the arriving waves at the mobile station (MS) in the downlink direction experience constructive and destructive additions because of different phases of the individual waves. This is due the fact that, at high carrier frequencies typically used in the cellular wireless communication, small changes in the differential propagation delays introduces large changes in the phases of the individual waves.
- the spatial variations in the amplitude and phase of the composite received signal will manifest themselves as the time variations known as Rayleigh fading or fast fading.
- the time- varying nature of the wireless channel requires very high signal- to-noise ratio (SNR) in order to provide desired bit error or packet error reliability.
- Diversity is widely used to combat the effects of fast fading.
- the idea is to provide the receiver with multiple faded replicas of the same information-bearing signal.
- the probability that the instantaneous SNR is below a certain threshold on each branch is approximately p L where p is the probability that the instantaneous SNR is below the certain threshold on each antenna branch.
- Space diversity may be achieved by using multiple transmit or receive antennas. The spatial separation between the multiple antennas is chosen so that the diversity branches experience fading with little or no correlation of the signals during the transit between the transmitting and receiving antennas.
- Transmit diversity uses multiple transmitting antennas in order to provide the receiver with multiple uncorrelated replicas of the same signal. Transmit diversity schemes may further be divided into open loop transmit diversity and closed-loop transmit diversity schemes. In an open loop transmit diversity approach, no feedback is required from the receiver. In one known arrangement of a closed loop transmit diversity, the receiver computes the phase and amplitude adjustment that should be applied at the transmitter antennas to maximize the received signal power at the receiver. In another arrangement of the closed loop transmit diversity referred to as selection transmit diversity (STD), the receiver provides feedback information to the transmitter on antenna(s) to be used for transmission.

- a subframe consists of 14 OFDM symbols in a normal CP (cyclic prefix) case, and the OFDM control symbols takes the first 1-3 OFDM symbols. The exact number of OFDM symbols is indicated by CategoryO bits, or the PCFICH channel.
- the orthogonality of the spreading matrix S is preserved and the UE only requires a simple dispreading, in addition to standard SFBC diversity combining operation.
- a diversity order of 2 is achieved with each repetition, and six repetitions may achieve a diversity order of up to 12, if there is enough frequency selectivity in the propagation channel.

- Figure 9 illustrates an example of alternating the mapping of two pairs of symbols in different transmissions and the permutation of the pairs across different pairs of the symbols for the mapping method as shown in Figure 8 according to the principle of another embodiment of the present invention. This issue may be easily rectified by alternating the mapping of these two pairs of symbols in different transmissions, as shown in
- the invention utilizes the following transmit diversity scheme for the transmission of CatO bits.
- QPSK quadrature phase- shift keying
- the CatO bits are always transmitted in the first Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol within a sub-frame.
- OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
- the modulated symbol ⁇ is repeated by 2K times, however, these 2K symbols are mapped to 2x1 resource units (RU) where each RU includes two neighboring subcarriers in one OFDM symbol in the time-frequency resource mapping. Therefore, 2K symbols will be mapped to a number of K resource units (RUs). These RUs should be spread out in the frequency domain in order to obtain maximum frequency diversity gain. The reason for this 2x1 RU granularity is for allowing the CatO resource mapping to easily fit the overall framework of CCE to RE mapping.
- SFTD Frequency selective transmit diversity
- SFBC Space Frequency Block Coding

- vector ⁇ as a whole is allocated at a designated subcarrier instead of being allocated in different subcarriers in the scheme as shown in Figure 10.
- One parameter to be determined is the number of repetitions needed for CatO symbols, which is defined as 2K (K is the number of resource units (RUs)) in the previous sections.
- K is the number of resource units (RUs)
- the "worst-case" scenario performance is evaluated for the CatO symbols, where 98% coverage of BER (bit-error rate) of 0.1% is required for the LTE (Long Term Evolution) Case 3 network configuration.
- the LTE Case 3 is one of the simulation scenarios defined by the LTE studies, and is captured from 3GPP TR 25.814. It is known that the geometry value (Ior/Ioc) at the 98% coverage point is approximately -6.7dB for LTE Case 3.
- Figure 11 The un-coded BER for diversity reception is shown in Figure 11 that is extracted from reference [2].
- Figure 11 is a graph of Logarithmic scale illustrating Bit-error rate (BER) performance with different diversity receptions.
- the AWGN is a white Gaussian noise channel model and system performances with different diversity orders are shown in Figure 11.

- the row-permuted versions of the above matrices are also feasible ortho-normal spread matrices.
- this scheme similar to the scheme as shown in Figure 10, a number of K 2x1 RUs (each spans two neighboring subcarriers and one OFDM symbol) each one of the K 2xlRUs that are used, one of the ortho-normal matrices are used to map the symbol a onto space-frequency resource.
- a designated matrix for example matrix T 0
- the invention utilizes another transmit diversity scheme for the ACK channels such that:
- Either one ACK channel is BPSK-modulated into a symbol or two ACK channels are both BPSK-modulated, but I/Q multiplexed into symbol a . No CDM is used in multiplexing.

- This concatenated bit sequence is the final channel bit sequence to be modulated and mapped into channel symbol.
- the choice of the codeword c x c 2 c 3 is limited to the subset of the codebook, where the size of this subset is three codewords.
- step 200 is a step of modulating the ACK/NACK signal by binary phase shift keying modulation
- step 201 is a step of multiplexing the modulated ACK/NACK signal by code division multiplexing coding (CDM)
- step 203 is a step of mapping, by space-frequency block coding, the multiplexed modulated ACK/NACK signal to a resource unit having a pair of neighboring subcarriers and a predetermined number of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) control symbols
