- an uplink grant signaling of one downlink subframe can schedule uplink data transmission of one or more uplink subframes.

- some special subframe cannot send an uplink scheduling command due to not having enough resources, this will result in an uplink subframe corresponding to the downlink subframe that cannot be scheduled; through the multi-subframe scheduling technique, this problem can also be solved.
- a grant signaling of the multi-subframe scheduling may actually schedule uplink data transmission of only one uplink subframe, and the timing relationship is different from that of the existing LTE system.
- TDD UL-DL configuration 0 already supports the technique of simultaneously scheduling at most two uplink subframes.
- TDD UL-DL configurations 1 ⁇ 6 multi-subframe scheduling is not supported.
- the multi-subframe scheduling technique is used, how to perform an effective synchronous HARQ transmission for uplink data transmission is a problem that needs to be solved.
- an aspect of the present invention provides a method for transmitting HARQ for uplink data in support of multi-subframe scheduling, which supports a multi-subframe uplink scheduling technique and performs an effective synchronous HARQ control for uplink data transmission.
- a method for transmitting Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) for uplink data in support of multi-frame scheduling in a User Equipment (UE) includes receiving a multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling and Physical HARQ Indicator CHannel (PHICH) information sent from a base station; determining timing positions of a scheduled uplink subframe and a subsequent transmission of a corresponding Synchronous HARQ (SHARQ) process of the scheduled uplink subframe, according to a timing relationship between the multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling and the scheduled uplink subframe; and for a scheduled uplink subframe, determining parameters of uplink transmission according to uplink grant signaling which schedules a SHARQ process of the scheduled uplink subframe and a relative position of a PHICH channel, and performing data transmission or stopping current transmission in the uplink subframe according to the parameters of uplink transmission.

- Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of subframes
- Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a user device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- uplink data transmission is based on a synchronous HARQ (SHARQ) mechanism. That is, after scheduling PUSCH transmission of one SHARQ process, both of PHICH timing position and retransmission timing position corresponding to this SHARQ process are predetermined.
- SHARQ synchronous HARQ
- the basic idea of processing multi-subframe uplink scheduling includes: newly defining a timing relationship from multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling to PUSCH in multiple uplink subframes; and determining a timing position of a subsequent uplink transmission of one SHARQ process by using the same method as that of UE which does not support multi-subframe scheduling before LTE version 11; that is to say, the timing relationship between an initial uplink transmission and retransmission is the same as that of the existing UE which does not support multi-subframe scheduling.
- multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can schedule uplink data transmissions of M uplink subframes, based on a timing relationship from uplink grant signaling to PUSCH of one uplink subframe of the existing single-subframe scheduling, one or two uplink subframes capable of being scheduled by the downlink subframe n in the existing LTE system can be contained in a subset of the above M uplink subframes.
- the above timing relationship from uplink grant signaling to PUSCH of one uplink subframe of the single-subframe scheduling can be determined according to TDD UL-DL configurations transmitted in System Information Block 1 (SIB1); and can also be determined by using a reference UL-DL configuration configured by high-layer signaling.
- SIB1 System Information Block 1
- the reference UL-DL configuration can reuse one of the 7 kinds of existing TDD UL-DL configurations.
- the timing relationship can also be determined according to one TDD UL-DL configuration.
- a timing of a subsequent PUSCH transmission of one SHARQ process can be determined according to a TDD UL-DL configuration transmitted in SIB1; or, one of the 7 kinds of existing TDD UL-DL configurations can be configured by high-layer signaling as a reference UL-DL configuration, and the timing of a subsequent PUSCH transmission of one SHARQ process can be determined based on this reference UL-DL configuration.
- the reference UL-DL configuration can be the same as or different from a UL-DL configuration that a UE which does not support multi-subframe scheduling works in.
- the reference UL-DL configuration for determining the timing relationship from multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling to the PUSCH, and the reference UL-DL configuration for determining the timing relationship between the PUSCH initial transmission and retransmission can be the same TDD UL-DL configuration.
- Adopting the method of the present invention when a new UE supporting multi-subframe scheduling and an existing UE not supporting multi-subframe scheduling simultaneously exist in a cell and they adopt the same timing relationship to determine a timing position of a subsequent uplink transmission of one SHARQ process, then the number of uplink SHARQ processes remains unchanged, which also reduces the complexity of a scheduler.
- both of a PHICH timing relationship of one PUSCH transmission of one SHARQ process and a timing relationship of PUSCH retransmission triggered by the PHICH can be determined by using the same method as that of an existing UE which does not support multi-subframe scheduling.
- the complexity of a scheduler can be further reduced.
- the PHICH timing relationship of PUSCH transmission and the timing relationship of PUSCH retransmission triggered by the PHICH can be determined based on a TDD UL-DL configuration transmitted in SIB1. Also, the PHICH timing relationship of PUSCH transmission and the timing relationship of PUSCH retransmission triggered by the PHICH can be determined by using the aforementioned reference UL-DL configuration.
- the new PHICH timing relationship of PUSCH transmission and the new timing relationship of PUSCH retransmission triggered by the PHICH can be defined; however, the new definition of PHICH does not change the timing of subsequent uplink transmission of one SHARQ process, i.e., the timing relationship between initial PUSCH transmission and retransmission remains unchanged.
- a flow-chart of a method of the present invention is hereinafter described with reference Fig. 2.
- the method includes, in step 201 the UE receiving a multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling and PHICH information sent from a base station.
- step 201 due to use of multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling, PUSCH transmissions of multiple uplink subframes can be scheduled by one downlink subframe. While the PHICH channel generally only sends PHICH information of one SHARQ process in one downlink subframe, when supporting multi-subframe scheduling, the multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling and the PHICH channel generally can be sent in different downlink subframes.
- a multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can schedule uplink transmissions of at most M uplink subframes at a time, and M is greater than or equal to 2.
- M bits can be used to indicate a scheduling state of each uplink subframe one by one.
- each multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling at most supports simultaneously scheduling uplink data transmission of two uplink subframes. In this way, there may be no need to modify TDD UL-DL configuration 0, and it is only needed to define new multi-subframe scheduling for FDD and TDD UL-DL configurations 1 ⁇ 6.
- it can be a method of reusing TDD UL-DL configuration 0 which uses a 2-bit uplink index field to indicate an actual scheduled uplink subframe.
- At least one multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling supports scheduling 3 uplink subframes.
- uplink grant signaling cannot be sent in DwPTS is: in the new carrier type (NCT) discussed in the LTE version 12, if a length of DwPTS is 3 OFDM symbols, then the existing LTE version does not define available DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) structure, and thus uplink grant signaling cannot be sent.
- NCT new carrier type
- DMRS DeModulation Reference Signal
- n M consecutive uplink subframes
- a first uplink subframe can be n+k, where for example, k is equal to 4.
- the downlink subframe n can schedule uplink data transmissions of M uplink subframes
- one or two uplink subframes capable of being scheduled by the downlink subframe n in the existing LTE system can be contained in a subset of the above M uplink subframes.
- one method when defining a timing relationship from multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling to a scheduled uplink subframe, one method is not dependent on an actual TDD UL-DL configuration, and defines a general timing relationship from multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling to an uplink subframe scheduled by the multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling. Specifically, when defining this general timing relationship, it can be defined that multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can be sent only in specific downlink subframes.
- uplink subframe index n+k scheduled by the multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can be defined according to Table 5
- k represents a subframe difference between uplink grant signaling and a scheduled uplink subframe.
- multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can be sent in all downlink subframes. For example, based on TDD UL-DL configuration 0, still assuming that M is equal to 3, then uplink subframe index n+k scheduled by the multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can be defined according to Table 6.
- the table 5 represents values of k of general multi-subframe scheduling.
- the table 6 represents values of k of general multi-subframe scheduling.
- the numbers of bits for indicating a scheduled uplink subframe in different TDD UL-DL configurations can be different. Also, in order to further reduce the number of bits occupied by the uplink grant signaling, for each TDD UL-DL configuration, a maximum number of uplink subframes actually scheduled by each downlink subframe which sends multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can further be distinguished, and the number of bits for indicating the scheduled uplink subframe can be set accordingly. If there is no padding bit, this will cause that for the same TDD UL-DL configuration, the numbers of bits of multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling in different downlink subframes can be different.
- each TDD UL-DL configuration is respectively configured with a timing relationship from multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling to an uplink subframe scheduled by the multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling, and schedules actually existing M uplink subframes.
- sizes of windows M which can be supported by different TDD UL-DL configurations can be different.
- TDD UL-DL configuration 2 has only two SHARQ processes, then, if the window M is equal to 3, this will result in two subsequent transmissions simultaneously scheduling the same SHARQ process.
- M can be configured to be not more than 2.
- the windows M of the variety of different TDD UL-DL configurations can be equal.
- the UE can directly retransmit a same uplink data in more than a second transmission timing scheduled for the same SHARQ process, or can also determine whether an uplink data packet is successful according to feedback PHICH information from a subsequent base station, and then determine whether it is necessary to retransmit or send new data.
- multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can also be configured only in a downlink subframe which can send uplink grant signaling in the LTE version 8. Also, for each TDD UL-DL configuration, multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can be configured in all downlink subframes.
- uplink subframe index n+k scheduled by the multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can be defined according to Table 7, where k represents a subframe difference between uplink grant signaling and a scheduled uplink subframe.
- the table 7 represents values of k of multi-subframe scheduling.
- step 202 for one uplink subframe, UE processes parameters of uplink transmissions according to uplink grant signaling that schedules the SHARQ processes to which the uplink subframes belong and relative positions of PHICH channels.
- a subframe in which an uplink grant signaling configured to schedule a SHARQ process exists is the same as a subframe in which a PHICH exists, or is behind the subframe in which the PHICH exists.
- the UE only needs to perform transmission according to instructions of the uplink grant signaling.
- the UE processes parameters of subsequent uplink transmissions according to the uplink grant signaling which schedules the SHARQ process of the uplink subframe and relative position of PHICH channel. Specific processing can be divided into following situations:
- the UE deems that the base station has completed decoding of the previous data transmission of the SHARQ process before the base station sends the uplink grant signaling and then knows whether the previous uplink transmission is successful or has failed, thus the UE can obtain parameters of transmitting uplink data in the uplink subframe directly according to the uplink grant signaling. That is to say, in this situation, if receiving uplink grant signaling configured to schedule one SHARQ process is received, then subsequently received PHICH information of the same SHARQ process will no longer be processed.
- the UE deems that the base station cannot complete decoding of the previous data transmission of the SHARQ process before the base station sends the uplink grant signaling and then does not know whether the previous uplink transmission is successful or has failed. Thus, the UE needs to further receive PHICH information, determine whether the previous uplink transmission is successful or has failed according to the PHICH information and determine resource configuration of a corresponding uplink subframe according to the uplink grant signaling.
- This process includes three alternative manners A, B and C.
- the UE can report the ACK to a higher layer and stops uplink transmission; if the PHICH indicates a NACK, then the UE can report the NACK to the higher layer, and retransmit uplink data of this SHARQ process under the precondition of not exceeding a maximum retransmission time.
- the UE can obtain parameters, such as allocated PRB resources and a modulation scheme, etc., of transmitting uplink data in the uplink subframe according to the uplink grant signaling for this SHARQ process, so as to perform adaptive retransmission of the uplink data.
- the manner of processing of the SHARQ process is irrelevant with a New Data Indicator (NDI) of the uplink grant signaling.
- the base station can set that the NDI value of the uplink grant signaling has not changed relative to the NDI value of a previous uplink grant signaling. Or, the NDI of the uplink grant signaling can be directly ignored in uplink HARQ operations of the base station and UE.
- the present invention does not limit the ways of processing for a New Data Indicator (NDI) of the above uplink grant signaling.
- the UE can send new uplink data in this SHARQ process; if the PHICH indicates a NACK, then the UE can report the NACK to the higher layer, and retransmit uplink data of this SHARQ process under the precondition of not exceeding a maximum retransmission time.
- the UE can obtain parameters, such as allocated PRB resources and a modulation scheme, etc., of transmitting uplink data in the uplink subframe according to the uplink grant signaling for this SHARQ process, so as to transmit uplink new data or perform adaptive retransmission of the uplink data.
- the manner of processing of the SHARQ process is irrelevant with the NDI of the uplink grant signaling.
- the present invention does not limit the ways of processing for the NDI of the above uplink grant signaling.
- the NDI of the uplink grant signaling can be directly ignored in uplink HARQ operations of the base station and UE.
- the operation method for one SHARQ process is jointly indicated. For example, if the PHICH indicates an ACK, and the NDI of the uplink grant signaling is changed, then the UE can send new uplink data in this SHARQ process; if the PHICH indicates the ACK, and the NDI of the uplink grant signaling is not changed, then the UE can report the ACK to a higher layer and stops uplink transmission; if the PHICH indicates a NACK, and the NDI of the uplink grant signaling is not changed, then the UE can report the NACK to the higher layer, and retransmit uplink data of this SHARQ process under the precondition of not exceeding a maximum retransmission time.
- the base station still modifies the NDI of the uplink grant signaling, which can be used as a kind of indication information. For example, the base station predicts that the previous uplink transmission of this SHARQ process must be successful or is successful with great probability, and the PHICH is very reliable, thus, by modifying the NDI value of the uplink grant signaling, the UE can be indicated to send new data according to an ACK indicated by the PHICH.
- the base station can set that the NDI of the uplink grant signaling is not changed, so as to prohibit the UE from sending new data according to the ACK indicated by the PHICH and to trigger the UE to perform retransmission of the uplink data of this SHARQ process by sending a PHICH NACK.
- the UE can deem this is an illegal situation; or, the UE can report the NACK to the higher layer, and retransmit uplink data of this SHARQ process under the precondition of not exceeding a maximum retransmission time.
- the present invention does not limit the ways of processing for the NDI of the above uplink grant signaling.
- the NDI of the uplink grant signaling can be directly ignored in uplink HARQ operations of the base station and UE.
- the UE can obtain parameters, such as allocated PRB resources and a modulation scheme, etc., of transmitting uplink data in the uplink subframe according to the uplink grant signaling for this SHARQ process, so as to transmit uplink new data or perform adaptive retransmission of the uplink data.
- parameters such as allocated PRB resources and a modulation scheme, etc.
- a third processing method although uplink grant signaling which schedules this SHARQ process is before the timing of the subframe in which the PHICH exists, if there is still enough processing time between the previous uplink transmission of this SHARQ process and the uplink grant signaling for the base station to decode uplink data, then the UE still deems that the base station has completed decoding of the previous data transmission of the SHARQ process before the base station sends the uplink grant signaling, and then knows whether the previous uplink transmission is successful or has failed. Thus, the UE can obtain parameters of transmitting uplink data in the uplink subframe according to the uplink grant signaling.
- the UE needs to further receive PHICH information and determine whether the previous uplink transmission is successful or has failed according to the PHICH information.
- a t ms delay can be used as a threshold. If an interval between the previous uplink transmission of this SHARQ process and the uplink grant signaling is greater than or equal to t ms, then, deeming that the base station can know whether the previous uplink transmission is successful or has failed, the UE can obtain parameters of transmitting uplink data in the uplink subframe according to the uplink grant signaling, i.e., operating according to the above first processing method.
- the UE needs to further receive PHICH information and determine whether the previous uplink transmission is successful or has failed according to the PHICH information, i.e., operating according to the above second processing method.
- the base station can send PHICH information of the same SHARQ or new uplink grant signaling in subframe n+4 at the earliest.
- the above parameter t of the present invention can be equal to 4.
- the base station certainly does not have enough time for decoding.
- t can also be set to a value smaller than 4, such as 3. In this way, for FDD and TDD, the processing time of the base station on the uplink data is likely to be met.
- the UE performs processing according to the PHICH information corresponding to this SHARQ process. For example, when the PHICH information is an ACK, the UE can report the ACK to the higher layer and stop uplink transmission; when the PHICH information is a NACK, the UE can report the NACK to the higher layer, and retransmit uplink data of the same SHARQ process under the precondition of not exceeding a maximum retransmission time.
- the UE can report the ACK to the higher layer and stop uplink transmission.
- the reason why there is no PHICH channel may be that a subframe in which a timing of the PHICH exists is an uplink subframe; or, because a reference UL-DL configuration different from an SIB1 UL-DL configuration is used to process timing of uplink transmission, although what is found in the timing position of the PHICH according to the reference UL-DL configuration is still a downlink subframe, but the downlink subframe is in an SIB1 UL-DL configuration and is not allocated with the PHICH channel.

- a legal situation in which the UE detects uplink grant signaling which schedules a same SHARQ process in multiple downlink subframes can be: before the base station determines whether a previous uplink transmission of one SHARQ process is successful or has failed, the base station sends an uplink grant signaling which schedules the SHARQ process to the UE so as to trigger the UE to perform adaptive retransmission by sending a PHICH NACK in a subsequent downlink subframe. After sending the uplink grant signaling, the base station completes demodulation of the previous PUSCH transmission. If the demodulation is not successful, the base station sends a NACK to the UE through the PHICH, and the UE still performs data retransmission according to the aforementioned uplink grant signaling.

Description
The present invention generally relates to wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method and device for processing Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) transmission for uplink data in a system supporting multi-subframe scheduling.
A Long Term Evolution (LTE) system of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standardization organization may support two duplex modes, that is, Frequency-Division Duplexing (FDD) and Time-Division Duplexing (TDD).
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of subframes.
As shown in Fig. 1, for an FDD system, each radio frame has a length of 10 ms, consisting of 10 subframes each having a length of 1ms. Each radio frame consists two consecutive time slots, the length of which is 0.5 ms. That is, a kth subframe includes time slots 2kth and (2k+1)th. For a TDD system, each radio frame is equally divided into two half-frames, each 5 ms long. Each half-frame includes 8 time slots with a length of 0.5 ms and 3 special fields, i.e., Downlink Pilot Time Slot (DwPTS), Guard Period (GP) and Uplink Pilot Time Slot (UpPTS). A total length of the three special fields is 1 ms long. Each sub-frame consists of two continuous time slots, i.e., the kth subframe includes time slots 2kth and (2k+1)th. One downlink transmission time interval (TTI) is defined in a subframe.
The TDD system supports 7 different LTE uplink-downlink configurations, as shown in Table 1. In Table 1, D represents a downlink subframe, U represents an uplink sub-frame, and S represents the above special subframe consisting of 3 special fields.
The table 1 represents LTE TDD uplink-downlink configurations.
The front n Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) symbols of each subframe can be used to transmit downlink control information including a Physical Downlink Control CHannel (PDCCH), a Physical HARQ Indicator CHannel (PHICH) and other control information, where n is equal to 1, 2 or 3; the remaining OFDM symbols can be used to transmit Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH) or Enhanced PDCCH (ePDCCH). The resource allocation granularity is a Physical Resource Block (PRB). One PRB contains 12 consecutive subcarriers in frequency and corresponds to a time slot in time. In one subframe, two PRBs respectively located in two slots of the subframe while occupying same subcarriers are referred to as a PRB pair. In each PRB pair, each Resource Element (RE) is the smallest unit of time-frequency resources, i.e., a subcarrier in frequency and an OFDM symbol in time.
In the LTE system, the PDCCH carries Downlink Control Information (DCI) allocating uplink channel resource and downlink channel resource, which can be referred as downlink grant signaling and uplink grant signaling, respectively. Grant signaling of different UEs are independently sent, and Downlink grant signaling and uplink grant signaling are independently sent, respectively. Except for uplink data transmission in TDD UL-DL configuration 0, grant signaling in each downlink subframe schedules downlink or uplink transmission of only one subframe. For uplink data transmission in TDD UL-DL configuration 0, since a number of uplink subframes is greater than that of downlink subframes, thus, using one downlink subframe to simultaneously schedule uplink data transmission of at most two uplink subframes can be supported.
In the existing LTE system, for an uplink grant signaling detected in a downlink subframe n, the uplink grant signaling schedules uplink data transmission in uplink subframe n+k. For the FDD system, a value of k is always 4. For a TDD system, a value of k is dependent on TDD UL-DL configurations, as shown in Table 2. For TDD UL-DL configuration 0, scheduling two subframes simultaneously or only one of the subframes can be further distinguished according to an uplink index of DCI.
The table 2 represents Values of k corresponding to different TDD UL-DL configurations.
In the existing LTE system, uplink data transmission is based on synchronous HARQ. Uplink data retransmission can be triggered based on the PHICH. For PHICH information received in downlink subframe n, the PHICH carries HARQ-ACK information for uplink data transmission in uplink subframe n-k. For the FDD system, a value of k is always 4. For the TDD system, a value of k is dependent on TDD UL-DL configurations, as shown in Table 3. For TDD UL-DL configuration 0, two PHICH resource sets are configured in downlink subframes 0 and 5, respectively, and can trigger uplink data transmissions in different uplink subframes.
The table 3 represents Values of k between Physical Uplink Shared Control CHannel (PUSCH) timing and PHICH timing corresponding to different TDD UL-DL configurations.
Further, for PHICH information received in downlink subframe n, the PHICH schedules uplink data transmission in uplink subframe n+k. For the FDD system, a value of k is always 4. For the TDD system, a value of k is dependent on TDD UL-DL configurations, as shown in Table 4. For TDD UL-DL configuration 0, two PHICH resource sets are configured in downlink subframes 0 and 5, respectively, and can trigger uplink data transmissions in different uplink subframes.
The table 4 represents values of k between PHICH timing and retransmission timing corresponding to different TDD UL-DL configurations.
In the follow-up research on LTE, a multi-subframe scheduling technique has attracted more and more attention. As shown in Fig. 1, for uplink multi-subframe scheduling, an uplink grant signaling of one downlink subframe can schedule uplink data transmission of one or more uplink subframes. Through the multi-subframe scheduling technique, resource overhead of scheduling indicators can be saved. Further, if some special subframe cannot send an uplink scheduling command due to not having enough resources, this will result in an uplink subframe corresponding to the downlink subframe that cannot be scheduled; through the multi-subframe scheduling technique, this problem can also be solved. As a special case, a grant signaling of the multi-subframe scheduling may actually schedule uplink data transmission of only one uplink subframe, and the timing relationship is different from that of the existing LTE system.
In fact, in the existing version of LTE, TDD UL-DL configuration 0 already supports the technique of simultaneously scheduling at most two uplink subframes. However, for the FDD system and TDD UL-DL configurations 1~6, multi-subframe scheduling is not supported. Thus, if the multi-subframe scheduling technique is used, how to perform an effective synchronous HARQ transmission for uplink data transmission is a problem that needs to be solved.
The present invention has been made to address at least the above problems and disadvantages, and to provide at least the advantages described below. Accordingly, an aspect of the present invention provides a method for transmitting HARQ for uplink data in support of multi-subframe scheduling, which supports a multi-subframe uplink scheduling technique and performs an effective synchronous HARQ control for uplink data transmission.
According to an aspect of the present invention, a method for transmitting Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) for uplink data in support of multi-frame scheduling in a User Equipment (UE) is provided. The method includes receiving a multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling and Physical HARQ Indicator CHannel (PHICH) information sent from a base station; determining timing positions of a scheduled uplink subframe and a subsequent transmission of a corresponding Synchronous HARQ (SHARQ) process of the scheduled uplink subframe, according to a timing relationship between the multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling and the scheduled uplink subframe; and for a scheduled uplink subframe, determining parameters of uplink transmission according to uplink grant signaling which schedules a SHARQ process of the scheduled uplink subframe and a relative position of a PHICH channel, and performing data transmission or stopping current transmission in the uplink subframe according to the parameters of uplink transmission.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a UE device for transmitting HARQ for uplink data in support of multi-subframe scheduling is provided. The UE device includes a data receiving unit, a processing unit and a data sending unit; wherein the data receiving unit is configured to receive a multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling and PHICH information sent from a base station; the processing unit is configured to, according to a timing relationship between the multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling and a scheduled uplink subframe, determine timing positions of the scheduled uplink subframe and a subsequent transmission of a SHARQ process corresponding to the scheduled uplink subframe; and for the scheduled uplink subframe, the UE determines parameters of uplink transmission according to the uplink grant signaling which schedules the SHARQ process of the scheduled uplink subframe and a relative position of a PHICH channel; the data sending unit is configured to perform data transmission or stop a current transmission in the uplink subframe according to the parameters of uplink transmission.
The above and other aspects, features, and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of subframes;
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method according to an embodiment of the present invention; and
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a user device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The present invention will be described in further detail hereinafter with reference to accompanying drawings.
In the existing LTE system, uplink data transmission is based on a synchronous HARQ (SHARQ) mechanism. That is, after scheduling PUSCH transmission of one SHARQ process, both of PHICH timing position and retransmission timing position corresponding to this SHARQ process are predetermined.
The basic idea of processing multi-subframe uplink scheduling according to the present invention includes: newly defining a timing relationship from multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling to PUSCH in multiple uplink subframes; and determining a timing position of a subsequent uplink transmission of one SHARQ process by using the same method as that of UE which does not support multi-subframe scheduling before LTE version 11; that is to say, the timing relationship between an initial uplink transmission and retransmission is the same as that of the existing UE which does not support multi-subframe scheduling.
In order to reduce complexity, for a multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling of a downlink subframe n, assuming that the multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can schedule uplink data transmissions of M uplink subframes, based on a timing relationship from uplink grant signaling to PUSCH of one uplink subframe of the existing single-subframe scheduling, one or two uplink subframes capable of being scheduled by the downlink subframe n in the existing LTE system can be contained in a subset of the above M uplink subframes. The above timing relationship from uplink grant signaling to PUSCH of one uplink subframe of the single-subframe scheduling can be determined according to TDD UL-DL configurations transmitted in System Information Block 1 (SIB1); and can also be determined by using a reference UL-DL configuration configured by high-layer signaling. Here, the reference UL-DL configuration can reuse one of the 7 kinds of existing TDD UL-DL configurations.
When determining a timing relationship (i.e., timing between an initial uplink transmission and retransmission) of a subsequent uplink transmission according to an existing method of the LTE system, the timing relationship can also be determined according to one TDD UL-DL configuration. For example, a timing of a subsequent PUSCH transmission of one SHARQ process can be determined according to a TDD UL-DL configuration transmitted in SIB1; or, one of the 7 kinds of existing TDD UL-DL configurations can be configured by high-layer signaling as a reference UL-DL configuration, and the timing of a subsequent PUSCH transmission of one SHARQ process can be determined based on this reference UL-DL configuration. The reference UL-DL configuration can be the same as or different from a UL-DL configuration that a UE which does not support multi-subframe scheduling works in. Generally, the reference UL-DL configuration for determining the timing relationship from multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling to the PUSCH, and the reference UL-DL configuration for determining the timing relationship between the PUSCH initial transmission and retransmission can be the same TDD UL-DL configuration. Adopting the method of the present invention, when a new UE supporting multi-subframe scheduling and an existing UE not supporting multi-subframe scheduling simultaneously exist in a cell and they adopt the same timing relationship to determine a timing position of a subsequent uplink transmission of one SHARQ process, then the number of uplink SHARQ processes remains unchanged, which also reduces the complexity of a scheduler.
For multi-subframe uplink scheduling, similar to determining a timing position of a subsequent uplink transmission of one SHARQ process, both of a PHICH timing relationship of one PUSCH transmission of one SHARQ process and a timing relationship of PUSCH retransmission triggered by the PHICH can be determined by using the same method as that of an existing UE which does not support multi-subframe scheduling. In this way, when a new UE supporting multi-subframe scheduling and an existing UE not supporting multi-subframe scheduling simultaneously exist in a cell and they adopt the same PHICH timing relationship of PUSCH transmission and the timing relationship of PUSCH retransmission triggered by the PHICH, the complexity of a scheduler can be further reduced. When specifically determining the PHICH timing of PUSCH transmission and the timing relationship of PUSCH retransmission triggered by the PHICH, it can be performed according to one TDD UL-DL configuration. For example, the PHICH timing relationship of PUSCH transmission and the timing relationship of PUSCH retransmission triggered by the PHICH can be determined based on a TDD UL-DL configuration transmitted in SIB1. Also, the PHICH timing relationship of PUSCH transmission and the timing relationship of PUSCH retransmission triggered by the PHICH can be determined by using the aforementioned reference UL-DL configuration. Also, the new PHICH timing relationship of PUSCH transmission and the new timing relationship of PUSCH retransmission triggered by the PHICH can be defined; however, the new definition of PHICH does not change the timing of subsequent uplink transmission of one SHARQ process, i.e., the timing relationship between initial PUSCH transmission and retransmission remains unchanged.
A flow-chart of a method of the present invention is hereinafter described with reference Fig. 2. As shown in Fig. 2, the method includes, in step 201 the UE receiving a multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling and PHICH information sent from a base station.
In step 201, due to use of multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling, PUSCH transmissions of multiple uplink subframes can be scheduled by one downlink subframe. While the PHICH channel generally only sends PHICH information of one SHARQ process in one downlink subframe, when supporting multi-subframe scheduling, the multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling and the PHICH channel generally can be sent in different downlink subframes.
A multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can schedule uplink transmissions of at most M uplink subframes at a time, and M is greater than or equal to 2. For example, M bits can be used to indicate a scheduling state of each uplink subframe one by one.
In a first method for defining multi-subframe scheduling, each multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling at most supports simultaneously scheduling uplink data transmission of two uplink subframes. In this way, there may be no need to modify TDD UL-DL configuration 0, and it is only needed to define new multi-subframe scheduling for FDD and TDD UL-DL configurations 1~6. Here, it can be a method of reusing TDD UL-DL configuration 0 which uses a 2-bit uplink index field to indicate an actual scheduled uplink subframe.
Further, if considering TDD UL-DL configuration 0 and considering that uplink grant signaling cannot be sent in the DwPTS, in order to be able to schedule all uplink subframes, then in a second method for defining multi-subframe scheduling, at least one multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling supports scheduling 3 uplink subframes. One possible scenario in which uplink grant signaling cannot be sent in DwPTS is: in the new carrier type (NCT) discussed in the LTE version 12, if a length of DwPTS is 3 OFDM symbols, then the existing LTE version does not define available DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) structure, and thus uplink grant signaling cannot be sent.
For the FDD system, since the uplink subframes are consecutive, it can be defined that what is scheduled by a multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling carried in downlink subframe n is M consecutive uplink subframes, and a first uplink subframe can be n+k, where for example, k is equal to 4.
For the TDD system, for a downlink subframe n, assuming that the downlink subframe n can schedule uplink data transmissions of M uplink subframes, one or two uplink subframes capable of being scheduled by the downlink subframe n in the existing LTE system can be contained in a subset of the above M uplink subframes.
In the TDD system, when defining a timing relationship from multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling to a scheduled uplink subframe, one method is not dependent on an actual TDD UL-DL configuration, and defines a general timing relationship from multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling to an uplink subframe scheduled by the multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling. Specifically, when defining this general timing relationship, it can be defined that multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can be sent only in specific downlink subframes. For example, based on TDD UL-DL configuration 0, assuming that M is equal to 3 and only the downlink subframe n (where n is equal to 0, 1, 5 or 6) is configured with multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling, then uplink subframe index n+k scheduled by the multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can be defined according to Table 5, and k represents a subframe difference between uplink grant signaling and a scheduled uplink subframe. Also, when defining the general timing relationship, it can be defined that multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can be sent in all downlink subframes. For example, based on TDD UL-DL configuration 0, still assuming that M is equal to 3, then uplink subframe index n+k scheduled by the multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can be defined according to Table 6.
Under the above general timing relationship between uplink grant signaling and a scheduled uplink subframe, when some subframe is an uplink subframe in an actual UL-DL configuration, then this subframe cannot transmit multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling.
The table 5 represents values of k of general multi-subframe scheduling.
The table 6 represents values of k of general multi-subframe scheduling.
For example, in Table 5 and Table 6, when an actual configuration is not configuration 0, some subframe n+k may actually be a downlink subframe and thus cannot be used for uplink data transmission. In this case, a number of bits for indicating a scheduled uplink subframe in multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling may remain unchanged so as to be consistent with the configuration 0. Also, in order to reduce the number of bits occupied by the uplink grant signaling, the above subframe n+k which actually is a downlink subframe may not be indicated, and thus the number of bits for indicating the scheduled uplink subframe can be set according to a maximum number of uplink subframes which can be actually scheduled by each TDD UL-DL configuration. Therefore, the numbers of bits for indicating a scheduled uplink subframe in different TDD UL-DL configurations can be different. Also, in order to further reduce the number of bits occupied by the uplink grant signaling, for each TDD UL-DL configuration, a maximum number of uplink subframes actually scheduled by each downlink subframe which sends multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can further be distinguished, and the number of bits for indicating the scheduled uplink subframe can be set accordingly. If there is no padding bit, this will cause that for the same TDD UL-DL configuration, the numbers of bits of multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling in different downlink subframes can be different.
For the TDD system, when defining the timing relationship from multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling to a scheduled uplink subframe, in another method each TDD UL-DL configuration is respectively configured with a timing relationship from multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling to an uplink subframe scheduled by the multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling, and schedules actually existing M uplink subframes. Here, sizes of windows M which can be supported by different TDD UL-DL configurations can be different. For example, TDD UL-DL configuration 2 has only two SHARQ processes, then, if the window M is equal to 3, this will result in two subsequent transmissions simultaneously scheduling the same SHARQ process. Thus, for TDD UL-DL configuration 2, M can be configured to be not more than 2. Also, if allowing multiple transmissions scheduling the same SHARQ process in one multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling, then the windows M of the variety of different TDD UL-DL configurations can be equal. Here, the UE can directly retransmit a same uplink data in more than a second transmission timing scheduled for the same SHARQ process, or can also determine whether an uplink data packet is successful according to feedback PHICH information from a subsequent base station, and then determine whether it is necessary to retransmit or send new data.
Specifically, for each TDD UL-DL configuration, multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can also be configured only in a downlink subframe which can send uplink grant signaling in the LTE version 8. Also, for each TDD UL-DL configuration, multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can be configured in all downlink subframes.
For example, taking the configuration of multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling only in a downlink subframe which can send uplink grant signaling in the LTE version 8 as an example, keeping windows M of the variety of TDD UL-DL configurations equal, and assuming that M is equal to 3, then uplink subframe index n+k scheduled by the multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling can be defined according to Table 7, where k represents a subframe difference between uplink grant signaling and a scheduled uplink subframe.
The table 7 represents values of k of multi-subframe scheduling.
Referring back to FIG. 2, in step 202, for one uplink subframe, UE processes parameters of uplink transmissions according to uplink grant signaling that schedules the SHARQ processes to which the uplink subframes belong and relative positions of PHICH channels.
In the existing single-subframe scheduling, a subframe in which an uplink grant signaling configured to schedule a SHARQ process exists is the same as a subframe in which a PHICH exists, or is behind the subframe in which the PHICH exists. Thus, for PUSCH transmission which uses uplink grant signaling for scheduling of a SHARQ process, the UE only needs to perform transmission according to instructions of the uplink grant signaling.
In the method of the present invention, since one downlink subframe schedules multiple uplink PUSCHs, a situation that a subframe in which an uplink grant signaling configured to schedule a SHARQ process exists is before the subframe in which PHICH exists may occur. For this situation, it is necessary to consider how to perform uplink transmissions indicated by this uplink grant signaling. Based on the above consideration, in the present invention, for one uplink subframe, the UE processes parameters of subsequent uplink transmissions according to the uplink grant signaling which schedules the SHARQ process of the uplink subframe and relative position of PHICH channel. Specific processing can be divided into following situations:
1) When an uplink grant signaling which schedules one SHARQ process is detected in a timing of a downlink subframe in which the PHICH channel of the SHARQ process exists or a timing of a subsequent subframe (that is the same as the situation of the existing single-frame scheduling), since a timing of the PHICH channel in relation to a previous PHICH transmission of this SHARQ process must meet a timing relationship in which a base station decodes uplink data, the base station already knows whether a previous uplink transmission of this SHARQ process is successful or has failed when the base station sends uplink grant signaling and the PHICH, thus the UE can obtain parameters of transmitting uplink data in the uplink subframe according to the above uplink grant signaling for this SHARQ process.
2) When the uplink grant signaling which schedules the SHARQ process is detected in a timing of a subframe before the timing of the downlink subframe in which the PHICH channel of the SHARQ process exists, there can be three kinds of processing as follows:
In a first processing method, the UE deems that the base station has completed decoding of the previous data transmission of the SHARQ process before the base station sends the uplink grant signaling and then knows whether the previous uplink transmission is successful or has failed, thus the UE can obtain parameters of transmitting uplink data in the uplink subframe directly according to the uplink grant signaling. That is to say, in this situation, if receiving uplink grant signaling configured to schedule one SHARQ process is received, then subsequently received PHICH information of the same SHARQ process will no longer be processed.
In a second processing method, the UE deems that the base station cannot complete decoding of the previous data transmission of the SHARQ process before the base station sends the uplink grant signaling and then does not know whether the previous uplink transmission is successful or has failed. Thus, the UE needs to further receive PHICH information, determine whether the previous uplink transmission is successful or has failed according to the PHICH information and determine resource configuration of a corresponding uplink subframe according to the uplink grant signaling. This process includes three alternative manners A, B and C.
In the manner A: determining whether the previous uplink transmission is successful or has failed according to PHICH information, determining parameters of transmitting uplink data in the uplink subframe according to the uplink grant signaling, and performing adaptive retransmission of the uplink data.
For example, if the PHICH indicates an ACK, then the UE can report the ACK to a higher layer and stops uplink transmission; if the PHICH indicates a NACK, then the UE can report the NACK to the higher layer, and retransmit uplink data of this SHARQ process under the precondition of not exceeding a maximum retransmission time. Here, the UE can obtain parameters, such as allocated PRB resources and a modulation scheme, etc., of transmitting uplink data in the uplink subframe according to the uplink grant signaling for this SHARQ process, so as to perform adaptive retransmission of the uplink data.
In manner A, the manner of processing of the SHARQ process is irrelevant with a New Data Indicator (NDI) of the uplink grant signaling. The base station can set that the NDI value of the uplink grant signaling has not changed relative to the NDI value of a previous uplink grant signaling. Or, the NDI of the uplink grant signaling can be directly ignored in uplink HARQ operations of the base station and UE. The present invention does not limit the ways of processing for a New Data Indicator (NDI) of the above uplink grant signaling.
In the manner B: determining whether the previous uplink transmission is successful or has failed according to the PHICH information, determining parameters of transmitting uplink data in the uplink subframe according to the uplink grant signaling, and performing adaptive transmission or retransmission of uplink new data.
For example, if the PHICH indicates an ACK, then the UE can send new uplink data in this SHARQ process; if the PHICH indicates a NACK, then the UE can report the NACK to the higher layer, and retransmit uplink data of this SHARQ process under the precondition of not exceeding a maximum retransmission time. Here, the UE can obtain parameters, such as allocated PRB resources and a modulation scheme, etc., of transmitting uplink data in the uplink subframe according to the uplink grant signaling for this SHARQ process, so as to transmit uplink new data or perform adaptive retransmission of the uplink data.
In manner B, the manner of processing of the SHARQ process is irrelevant with the NDI of the uplink grant signaling. The present invention does not limit the ways of processing for the NDI of the above uplink grant signaling. For example, the NDI of the uplink grant signaling can be directly ignored in uplink HARQ operations of the base station and UE.
In the manner C: according to PHICH information and the NDI of uplink grant signaling, the operation method for one SHARQ process is jointly indicated. For example, if the PHICH indicates an ACK, and the NDI of the uplink grant signaling is changed, then the UE can send new uplink data in this SHARQ process; if the PHICH indicates the ACK, and the NDI of the uplink grant signaling is not changed, then the UE can report the ACK to a higher layer and stops uplink transmission; if the PHICH indicates a NACK, and the NDI of the uplink grant signaling is not changed, then the UE can report the NACK to the higher layer, and retransmit uplink data of this SHARQ process under the precondition of not exceeding a maximum retransmission time. Here, in the situation where the base station does not know whether the previous uplink transmission of this SHARQ process is successful or has failed, the base station still modifies the NDI of the uplink grant signaling, which can be used as a kind of indication information. For example, the base station predicts that the previous uplink transmission of this SHARQ process must be successful or is successful with great probability, and the PHICH is very reliable, thus, by modifying the NDI value of the uplink grant signaling, the UE can be indicated to send new data according to an ACK indicated by the PHICH. In a situation where the base station is not sure that the previous uplink transmission of this SHARQ process is successful and PHICH transmission has a poor reliability, the base station can set that the NDI of the uplink grant signaling is not changed, so as to prohibit the UE from sending new data according to the ACK indicated by the PHICH and to trigger the UE to perform retransmission of the uplink data of this SHARQ process by sending a PHICH NACK.
For a situation in which the PHICH indicates the NACK but the NDI of the uplink grant signaling is changed, the UE can deem this is an illegal situation; or, the UE can report the NACK to the higher layer, and retransmit uplink data of this SHARQ process under the precondition of not exceeding a maximum retransmission time. The present invention does not limit the ways of processing for the NDI of the above uplink grant signaling. For example, the NDI of the uplink grant signaling can be directly ignored in uplink HARQ operations of the base station and UE.
Here, the UE can obtain parameters, such as allocated PRB resources and a modulation scheme, etc., of transmitting uplink data in the uplink subframe according to the uplink grant signaling for this SHARQ process, so as to transmit uplink new data or perform adaptive retransmission of the uplink data.
In a third processing method, although uplink grant signaling which schedules this SHARQ process is before the timing of the subframe in which the PHICH exists, if there is still enough processing time between the previous uplink transmission of this SHARQ process and the uplink grant signaling for the base station to decode uplink data, then the UE still deems that the base station has completed decoding of the previous data transmission of the SHARQ process before the base station sends the uplink grant signaling, and then knows whether the previous uplink transmission is successful or has failed. Thus, the UE can obtain parameters of transmitting uplink data in the uplink subframe according to the uplink grant signaling. On the contrary, if there is not enough processing time between the previous uplink transmission of this SHARQ process and the uplink grant signaling for the base station to decode uplink data, and then does not know whether the previous uplink transmission is successful or has failed, thus, the UE needs to further receive PHICH information and determine whether the previous uplink transmission is successful or has failed according to the PHICH information.
For example, when determining whether the base station has time to complete decoding the previous uplink transmission of this SHARQ process in the third processing method, a t ms delay can be used as a threshold. If an interval between the previous uplink transmission of this SHARQ process and the uplink grant signaling is greater than or equal to t ms, then, deeming that the base station can know whether the previous uplink transmission is successful or has failed, the UE can obtain parameters of transmitting uplink data in the uplink subframe according to the uplink grant signaling, i.e., operating according to the above first processing method. Otherwise, deeming that the base station does not know whether the previous uplink transmission is successful or has failed, thus, the UE needs to further receive PHICH information and determine whether the previous uplink transmission is successful or has failed according to the PHICH information, i.e., operating according to the above second processing method.
In the existing LTE system, for a PUSCH sent in subframe n, the base station can send PHICH information of the same SHARQ or new uplink grant signaling in subframe n+4 at the earliest. In this way, the above parameter t of the present invention can be equal to 4. Thus, for the FDD system, the base station certainly does not have enough time for decoding. For the TDD system, since an interval from a PUSCH to a PHICH channel corresponding to the PUSCH is generally greater than 4 subframes, then, it is possible to send the uplink grant signal in a downlink subframe which is earlier than a PHICH subframe and the 4ms delay can be met, so as to know whether the previous uplink transmission is successful or has failed. Or, considering that the processing capacity of the base station can be relatively strong, t can also be set to a value smaller than 4, such as 3. In this way, for FDD and TDD, the processing time of the base station on the uplink data is likely to be met.
3) if the UE does not detect uplink grant signaling which schedules a SHARQ process before a timing position of PUSCH retransmission of the SHARQ process, then the UE performs processing according to the PHICH information corresponding to this SHARQ process. For example, when the PHICH information is an ACK, the UE can report the ACK to the higher layer and stop uplink transmission; when the PHICH information is a NACK, the UE can report the NACK to the higher layer, and retransmit uplink data of the same SHARQ process under the precondition of not exceeding a maximum retransmission time.
4) if the UE does not detect uplink grant signaling which schedules a SHARQ process before a timing position of PUSCH retransmission of the SHARQ process, and there is no PHICH channel in a timing position of the PHICH of this SHARQ process, the UE can report the ACK to the higher layer and stop uplink transmission. Here, the reason why there is no PHICH channel may be that a subframe in which a timing of the PHICH exists is an uplink subframe; or, because a reference UL-DL configuration different from an SIB1 UL-DL configuration is used to process timing of uplink transmission, although what is found in the timing position of the PHICH according to the reference UL-DL configuration is still a downlink subframe, but the downlink subframe is in an SIB1 UL-DL configuration and is not allocated with the PHICH channel.
5) if the UE detects uplink grant signaling which schedules a same SHARQ process in multiple downlink subframes, then the UE can deem this is an illegal situation, or the UE can also perform uplink transmission in a corresponding uplink subframe according to one of them, for example, the latest uplink grant signaling.
A legal situation in which the UE detects uplink grant signaling which schedules a same SHARQ process in multiple downlink subframes can be: before the base station determines whether a previous uplink transmission of one SHARQ process is successful or has failed, the base station sends an uplink grant signaling which schedules the SHARQ process to the UE so as to trigger the UE to perform adaptive retransmission by sending a PHICH NACK in a subsequent downlink subframe. After sending the uplink grant signaling, the base station completes demodulation of the previous PUSCH transmission. If the demodulation is not successful, the base station sends a NACK to the UE through the PHICH, and the UE still performs data retransmission according to the aforementioned uplink grant signaling. If the demodulation is successful, the base station may desire to send new uplink data in this SHARQ process. At this time, the base station can send another new uplink grant signaling aiming at the same SHARQ process, and indicates the UE to perform new data transmission through modification of the NDI. At this time, the situation in which the UE detects uplink grant signaling which schedules a same SHARQ process in multiple downlink subframes will appear.
In step 203 according to the processing of step 202, the UE sends new uplink data, retransmitts data of the SHARQ process to which the uplink subframe belongs, or currently does not send uplink data in the uplink subframe.
At this point, the method of the present invention ends. Corresponding to the above method, the present invention also provides a UE device for transmitting HARQ for uplink data in support of multi-subframe scheduling.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of the user device. As shown in Fig. 3, the UE device includes a data receiving unit, a processing unit and a data sending unit.
The data receiving unit is configured to receive a multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling and PHICH information sent from a base station. The processing unit is configured to, according to a timing relationship between the multi-subframe scheduling uplink grant signaling and a scheduled uplink subframe, determine a timing position of a subsequent transmission of the scheduled uplink subframe and its corresponding SHARQ process. For the scheduled uplink subframe, based on the above method of the present invention, the UE determines parameters of uplink transmission according to the uplink grant signaling which schedules the SHARQ process of the scheduled uplink subframe and the relative position of the PHICH channel. The data sending unit is configured to perform data transmission or stop current transmission in the uplink subframe according to the parameters of uplink transmission determined by the processing unit.
It can be seen from the above implementations of the present invention, adopting the method and device of the present invention, the complexity of standardization work can be reduced. When a new UE supporting multi-subframe scheduling and an existing UE not supporting multi-subframe scheduling simultaneously exist in a cell, the complexity of a scheduler can be reduced.
The foregoing description provides embodiments of the present invention and is not for use in limiting the protection scope thereof. All modifications, equivalent replacements or improvements in accordance with the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of the present invention, as defined by the appended claims.
