Definitions
- the exemplary and non-limiting embodiments of this invention relate generally to wireless communication systems, methods, devices and computer programs, and more specifically relate to signaling multiple resource assignments or schedules into a single downlink control information message.
- the future release 11 is expected to support inter-band carrier aggregation for at least TDD downlink, to include the case where the different bands have different UL/DL configurations.
- RP-091440 by Nokia entitled CARRIER AGGREGATION FOR LTE [3 GPP TSG RAN#46; Sanya, P.R. China; 1-4 December 2009] and RP-110451 by Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks entitled LTE CARRIER AGGREGATION ENHANCEMENTS [3 GPP TSG RAN#51; Kansas City, USA; 15-18 March 2011]
- the primary component carrier or PCell is scheduling the secondary component carrier or SCell.
- the UL/DL configuration tells whether a given subframe is DL or UL as shown by example at Figures 1 A-B.
- a subframe #4, #7, #8, #9 cannot be scheduled in the SCell using cross carrier scheduling from the PCell since those subframes for the PCell configuration #0 are all UL subframes.
- the switching subframes denoted as "S" in Figures 1A-B are downlink.
- Time domain bundling scheduling provides a promising way to avoid wasting radio resources due to inefficient scheduling which is inherent in the Figure 1A example.
- multiple DL subframes may be scheduled by one PDCCH.
- Time domain bundling being actively considered for reducing the PDCCH overhead; see for example document Rl-112427 by NTT and Docomo entitled VIEWS ON
- Figure 1 A illustrates one example of how scheduling bundling can work for the Figure 1A example so that subframe #4, #7, #8 and #9 in the SCell can be scheduled from the PCell.
- a PDCCH in subframe #1 on the PDCCH can schedule subframe #1 and #4 in the SCell
- a PDCCH in subframe #6 of the PCell could schedule subframe #6, #7, #8, #9 in the SCell.
- all the DL subframes in the scheduled SCell could be scheduled by the PCell in which the scheduling information is sent, even though the TDD configurations on these two cells are different.
- a method comprising: indicating in a downlink control information message which N radio resources on a second component carrier are being scheduled, where N is an integer greater than one; and sending the downlink control information message on a first com onent carrier to schedule the plurality of radio resources.
- an apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory storing a computer program.
- the at least one memory with the computer program is configured with the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to at least: indicate in a downlink control information message which N radio resources on a second component carrier are being scheduled, where N is an integer greater than one; and send the downlink control information message on a first component carrier to schedule the plurality of radio resources.
- a computer readable memory tangibly storing a computer program executable by at least one processor for causing an apparatus to: indicate in a downlink control information message which N radio resources on a second component carrier are being scheduled, where N is an integer greater than one; and send the downlink control information message on a first component carrier to schedule the plurality of radio resources.
- an apparatus comprising: scheduling means for indicating in a downlink control information message which N radio resources on a second component carrier are being scheduled, where N is an integer greater than one; and sending means for sending the downlink control information message on a first component carrier to schedule the plurality of radio resources.
- Figure 1A is a schematic timing diagram showing scheduling inefficiencies when a PCell on which scheduling allocations are sent is using a different DL UL configuration than a SCell on which the scheduled resources lie, and is an exemplary environment in which these teachings can be practiced to advantage,
- Figure I B is similar to Figure 1 A but showing scheduling bundling to resolve the inefficiencies shown at Figure I B.
- Figure 2A is a table illustrating bit values and exemplary meanings for signaling associated with scheduling bundling according to an example for one embodiment of these teachings.
- Figure 2B is a table similar to Figure 2 A but according to an example for a different embodiment of these teachings.
- Figure 3 is a timing diagram similar to Figure 1 B but further showing results of different offset values signaled to different user equipments according to an exemplary embodiment of these teachings.
- Figure 4 is a timing diagram similar to Figure IB but illustrating how the value N for the maximum number of downlink subframes that are bundled may be implicitly signaled according to an exemplary embodiment of these teachings.
- Figure 5 is a logic flow diagram that illustrates from the perspective of the network/eNB the operation of a method, and a result of execution of computer program instructions embodied on a computer readable memory, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of this invention.
- FIG. 6 is a simplified block diagram of a UE and an eNB which are exemplary electronic devices suitable for use in practicing the exemplary embodiments of the invention.
- overlapped subframe is defined as a subframe for which the TDD configurations on the two different carriers have different transmission direction, For example, in Figure IB subframe #4, #6, #7, #8 and #9 are overlapped subframes while all the others are consistent subframes,
- the size of the bundling window is N.
- the number of added bits is N.
- the eNB scheduler may have flexibility to change the size N of the bundling window, or the size of the bundling window may be fixed (for example, by a published technical standard for the wireless system). These added bits indicate which DL subframe is scheduled.
- the table at Figure 2B illustrates an example of four of the different bit values and their meaning for the case where N bits are added to the PDCCH to indicate which DL subframe(s) are being scheduled.
- the larger number of bits in this alternative gives a bit greater flexibility than the alternative of Figure 2A.
- the bit value 0101 for the Figure 2B embodiment can indicate two DL subframes which are being scheduled, the subframe of the PDCCH and the second subframe after then PDCCH, which the Figure 2A embodiment cannot do unless also the first subframe after the PDCCH is also scheduled.
- a second aspect of these teachings is signaling to indicate for each subframe being scheduled whether it is for a new transmission or for a retransmission.
- an NDI which indicates whether the resource being allocated is for a new transmission or for a re-transmission (for example, in response to a negative acknowledgement of the original/new transmission).
- the NDI of the PDCCH is also extended to N bits total. This may be considered as a size N bitmap to indicate for each of the subframes in the bundling window whether the scheduled subframe is to carry a new transmission or a re-transmission.
- the UE can be signaled via RRC signaling such as when attaching to the cell, or when the SCell is activated for it, or the UE can learn TD scheduling bundling is in use from system information or the master information block.
- such a relevant wireless standard might state that for inter-band TDD carrier aggregation with different TDD configurations between the PCell and the SCell, for those consistent DL subframes that are followed by an overlapped subframe, time domain bundling scheduling is enabled.
- subframes #1 and #6 in Figure IB are the only such a consistent DL subframes in that figure.
- the network configures the different UE's with a specific offset which the network and the UE will use to determine which DL subframe in which to send a PDCCH to that UE.
- the network will configure different offset value for the different UEs, enabling the network to better distribute the PDCCH load in the time domain.
- the location of the PDCCH for each of these four UEs is shown at Figure 3.
- the fifth aspect of these teachings concern the value for N; it is also either explicitly configured by higher layers or in another embodiment is implicitly determined by a predefined rule such as may be stipulated in a wireless standard.
- the value of N is the size of the bundling window, the maximum number of DL subframes that could be scheduled by one PDCCH.
- the value of N is in one embodiment predefined in the specification; in another embodiment it is explicitly configured by higher layer signaling such as RRC signaling; and in still another embodiment the value of N is implicitly configured depending on TDD configuration on the scheduling cell PCell in combination with the TDD configuration on the other cell/SCell.
- the rule may set the value for N as equal to the DL subframe number from the current scheduling subframe to the next consistent DL subframe.
- TDD configuration #0 on the PCell
- TDD configuration #4 on the SCell
- the SCell is configured to be scheduled by that PCell.
- Embodiments of the invention detailed above provide certain technical effects such as for example it is a design with reasonable signaling bits for time domain bundling scheduling. Additionally these teachings enable independent re-transmission for different DL subframes for time domain bundling scheduling, and also provide functionality for PDCCH load balancing for time domain bundling scheduling.
- Figure 5 may be performed by the whole eNB, or by one or several components thereof such as a modem.
- the network indicates in a downlink control information DCI message which N radio resources on a second component carrier are being scheduled, where N is an integer greater than one.
- the network sends the downlink control information message on a first component carrier to schedule the plurality of radio resources.
- the first component carrier is the PCell and the second component carrier is the SCell.
- Block 506 provides that the N radio resources are indicated in the DCI message by a total of either N bits or ceil(log2(N)) bits.
- Block 508 provides the 3. The method according to claim 1 , in which the downlink control information message further comprises an indication for each of the N radio resources whether data in the respective radio resource is new data or re-transmitted data.
- Block 510 summarizes the embodiment above in which the first and second component carriers have different uplink/downlink subframe configurations.
- Block 512 provides that the DCI message is sent in a subframe indicated by a user-equipment specific offset which is specific for a user equipment to which the which N radio resources are allocated by the downlink control information message.
