Description

一种通信方法、网络设备及终端 技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法、网络设备及终端。
背景技术
长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)是一种主流的新一代宽带无线通信技术。LTE网络以无线帧(raido frame)为单位传输信号,每个无线帧由子帧(subframe)构成,每个子帧有2个时隙(slot),每个slot由固定个数的正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)符号组成。
随着通信技术的发展,根据不同的通信需求,LTE网络中的子帧结构会发生变化,子帧的传输时间间隔(Transmission Time Interval,TTI)也会发生变化。例如,为了支持上行覆盖增强,上行链路(Uplink,UL)的TTI长度可能长于下行链路(Downlink,DL)的TTI长度。再例如,随着终端业务类型的增多,终端使用较少的时域资源就可以传输数据,子帧的传输时间间隔变短并引入短传输时间间隔(Short Transmission Time Interval,sTTI)。
对于终端而言,业务类型是动态变化的,因此TTI的长度也可以是动态变化的,故在某个时刻,演进的节点B(evolved NodeB,简称:eNB或者eNodeB)可能会向终端发送TTI长度配置变更指令,该TTI长度配置指令可以是针对UL的,也可以是针对DL的。例如,所述TTI长度配置变更指令用于指示DL的TTI在(2os(ofdm symbol),7os)中变化,或者用于指示UL的TTI在(2os,4os,7os)中变化,或者用于指示在sTTI与TTI之间变更。无论所述TTI长度变更指令用于指示何种TTI长度变更,都会导致DL或UL的数据原本传输位置发生变化,产生数据的错发和错收,浪费无线资源,并导致传输速率和***容量的下降。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行详细地描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。
如图1所示,终端通过无线接入网(Radio Access Network,RAN)及核心网(Core Network,CN)接入IP多媒体子***(IP Multimedia Subsystem,IMS)网络。
本发明实施例涉及的通信方法,主要针对终端与无线接入网中的网络设备进行数据传输的过程。所述终端可以包括各种具有无线通信功能的手持设 备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备,以及各种形式的用户设备(User Equipment,UE),移动台(Mobile station,MS),终端设备(Terminal Equipment)等等。所述网络设备可以包括各种在无线接入网中为终端提供通信功能的装置,例如可以是基站,该基站可以包括各种形式的宏基站,微基站,中继站,接入点等等。在采用不同的无线接入技术的***中,基站的名称可能会有所不同,例如在长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)网络中,称为演进的节点B(evolved NodeB,简称:eNB或者eNodeB),在第三代3G网络中,称为节点B(Node B)等等。
本发明实施例描述的技术可以适用于LTE***,或其他采用各种无线接入技术的无线通信***,例如采用码分多址,频分多址,时分多址,正交频分多址,单载波频分多址等接入技术的***。此外,还可以适用于使用LTE***后续的演进***,如第五代5G***等。为清楚起见,本发明实施例以下仅以LTE***为例进行说明,所述终端为UE,所述网络设备为eNB。
图2所示为LTE网络中UE与无线接入网中的eNB进行数据传输的***示意图。UE与eNB进行数据传输过程中通过混合自动重传请求(Hybrid Automatic Repeatre Quest,HARQ)进程来提高数据传输的可靠性。本发明实施例中主要针对DL HARQ进程和ULHARQ进程进行说明,其中,DL HARQ进程中,eNB向UE发送数据包,UE接收到数据包后对接收到的数据包进行HARQ反馈并发送HARQ反馈消息,所述HARQ反馈消息包括正确应答指令(ACKnowledge,ACK)或错误应答指令(Negative ACKnowledge,NACK)信息。UL HARQ进程中,UE向eNB发送数据包,eNB接收UE发送的数据包并发送HARQ反馈消息。
目前,UE与eNB进行数据传输过程中,由于业务需求,可能会出现TTI长度变更的情况,此时会导致DL HARQ进程和ULHARQ进程中产生数据包的错误接收或错误发送,进而导致传输速率和***容量的下降。本发明实施例提供一种通信方法,以在TTI长度变更情况下,保证DL HARQ进程和UL HARQ进程中数据包的正确发送和正确接收。
图3所示为本发明实施例提供的第一种通信方法,如图3所示,包括:
S101:eNB确定通信链路上的TTI长度发生变更。
本发明实施例中TTI长度发生变更的通信链路可以是网络设备与UE之间的链路,也可以是UE与UE之间的链路,所述链路包括上行链路和下行链路,所述上行链路和下行链路可以采用时分双工(Time Division Duplex,TDD)方式传输数据,也可采用频分双工(Frequency division duplex,FDD)方式传输数据。
本发明实施例中所述TTI长度发生变更包括TTI长度在1ms内变更;或者TTI长度在低于1ms的短TTI和1msTTI之间变更;或者TTI长度在低于1ms的短TTI内变更。
具体的,本发明实施例中所述TTI长度发生变更可以是变更为和原有TTI不同的长度,也可以变更为和原有TTI相同的长度。
S102:eNB确定TTI长度变更前的传输块(Transport Block,TB)不能在TTI长度变更后的通信链路上传输。
具体的,每个HARQ进程在上行或下行传输时,占用一个TB或者两个TB。这个TB已经按照变更前的TTI进行了资源分配和编码调制的设置,而变更后的TTI可能不能使用这种资源分配和编码调制方法,即TTI长度变更前的TB不能在TTI长度变更后的通信链路上传输。本发明实施例中若TTI长度变更前的TB不能在TTI长度变更后的通信链路上传输,则可执行S103。
可以理解的是,在具体实施过程中,也可不确定TTI长度变更前的HARQ的TB是否能在TTI长度变更后的通信链路上传输,直接执行S103,即S102为可选步骤。
S103:eNB向UE发送指示信息,所述指示信息用于指示将至少一个HARQ进程的TB清零。
可选的,本发明实施例中将HARQ进程的TB清零,可以将HARQ进程中的所有TB清零,也可以是将HARQ进程中的一个TB或者两个TB清零,还可以是将HARQ进程中指定的TB清零。
可选的,本发明实施例中,所述指示信息指示清零的HARQ进程可以是将一个UE的至少一个HARQ进程的TB清零;或者将一组UE的至少一个HARQ进程的TB清零;或者将小区的至少一个HARQ进程的TB清零。
其中,所述至少一个HARQ进程可以是全部HARQ进程,或者指定的HARQ进程。所述指定的HARQ进程为指定HARQ标识的进程,或者为满足设定服务质量(Quality of Service,QoS)需求的HARQ进程。
可选的,本发明实施例中所述指示信息可通过无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)消息、广播消息、媒体接入控制层(Medium Access Control,MAC)控制元素(Control Element,CE)和物理层信令中的至少之一或者组合,以显式方式发送或者以隐式方式发送。
进一步的,若所述指示信息通过物理层信令发送,则所述指示信息通过物理层信令所在资源隐式发送;或者所述指示信息通过在下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)中包含的新数据到达被翻转指示信息(NDI is toggled)发送。
可选的,本发明实施例中所述eNB可通过显示或者隐式方式,指示所述UE将至少一个HARQ进程的TB清零。
S104:UE接收eNB发送的用于指示将至少一个HARQ进程的TB清零的指示信息,并依据所述指示信息,将所述UE的至少一个HARQ进程的TB清零。
本发明实施例中为使HARQ进程中传输的数据能够正确发送和接收,可在eNB确定TTI长度变更的情况下,向UE发送将HARQ进程的TB清零的指示信息,以使UE将HARQ进程中的TB清零,并在变更后的TTI长度的TB中重新传输数据,保证数据的正确发送和接收。
图4所示为本发明实施例提供的第二种通信方法,如图4所示,包括:
S201:eNB确定通信链路上的TTI长度发生变更。
S202:eNB向UE发送指示信息,所述指示信息用于指示在变更后的TTI长度所在的频域资源上进行通信。
本发明实施例中,所述指示在变更后的TTI长度所在的频域资源上与UE进行通信,是指丢弃TTI长度变更前的频域资源,并在变更后的TTI长度所在的频域资源上与UE进行通信,其中与UE进行通信的数据为TTI长度变更前的HARQ进程的TB相关的发送和/或接收的数据。
S203:UE接收eNB发送的指示信息,并依据所述指示信息在变更后的TTI长度所在的频域资源上进行通信。
本发明实施例中,按照所述指示信息,丢弃eNB已配置给UE的基于TTI长度变更前的频域资源,并在TTI长度变更后的频域资源上与eNB进行通信,其中与eNB进行通信的数据为TTI长度变更前的HARQ进程的TB上发送和/或接收的数据。
本发明实施例中,eNB可通过RRC消息、广播消息、MAC CE和物理层信令中的至少之一或者组合,将用于指示在变更后的TTI长度所在的频域资源上进行通信的指示信息以显式方式发送或者以隐式方式发送。UE则按照相应的方式进行接收。
可选的,若用于指示在变更后的TTI长度所在的频域资源上进行通信的指示信息通过物理层信令发送,则所述指示信息可DCI发送。其中,所述DCI中还携带可HARQ标识和数据信息对应的调制编码方式MCS中的至少之一或组合。
可选的,本发明实施例中eNB与UE按照所述指示信息在变更后的TTI长度所在的频域资源上进行通信后,还可包括如下步骤,如图5所示:
S204:eNB接收UE发送的数据。

S206:UE接收所述eNB发送的HARQ反馈信息以及HARQ反馈信息的HARQ标识信息,并依据所述HARQ反馈信息的HARQ标识信息和TTI长度变更前的所述HARQ进程的状态,进行HARQ处理。
可选的,本发明实施例中HARQ反馈信息的HARQ标识信息和所述TTI 长度变更前的HARQ标识信息可相同或者也可不同。无论相同或者不同,UE都能够将所述变更前的HARQ标识信息和所述HARQ反馈信息的HARQ标识信息关联到一个HARQ进程。
本发明实施例中,所述HARQ反馈信息包括HARQ ACK或HARQ NACK。
可选的,若所述HARQ反馈信息为HARQ NACK,则还可包括如下步骤,如图6所示:
S207:eNB向UE发送上行授权信息,并向UE发送所述上行授权信息对应的HARQ标识信息。
S208:UE接收所述eNB发送的上行授权信息以及上行授权信息的HARQ标识信息,并依据所述上行授权信息的HARQ标识信息和TTI长度变更前的所述HARQ进程的状态,进行HARQ处理。

本发明实施例中,在TTI长度发生变更时,eNB向UE发送用于指示在变更后的TTI长度所在的频域资源上进行通信的指示信息,使得UE可以依据所述指示信息丢弃TTI长度变更前的数据,并在变更后的TTI长度所在的频域资源上进行通信,能够避免数据包的错发和错收。
图7为本发明实施例提供的第三种通信方法,如图7所示,包括:
S301:eNB确定通信链路上的TTI长度发生变更。
S302:eNB向UE发送用于指示UE按照TTI长度变更的生效时间,在所述通信链路上依据变更后的TTI长度进行通信的指示信息。
本发明实施例中所述通信包括数据包的发送、接收或者发送和接收,以下表示为数据包的发送和/或接收。所述生效时间满足使UE在按照变更后的TTI长度进行通信前,能够最大程度的完成和eNB之间进行通信的数据包的发送和/或接收,以避免发送和/或接收数据包的时频资源位置在TTI长度变更前后发生更迭。
本发明实施例中所述生效时间的表现形式可以有多种,例如可以是用于指示UE在所述通信链路上使用所述长度变更后的所述TTI的起始时间,可以是以UE接收到生效时间信息为开始的偏移值所表示的,还可以是以UE接收到生效时间信息为开始的定时时间所表示的。
其中,所述生效时间的起始时间可以通过绝对时间表示,所述生效时间的起始时间也可用无线帧和或子帧号表示。
本发明实施例中,所述生效时间可以是预先配置于UE上,也可以由eNB发送给所述UE。
可选的,本发明实施例中所述生效时间可以是eNB提前发送给UE的,也可以是在确定TTI长度发生变更后,实时发送给UE的。
本发明实施例中,可通过eNB向UE发送用于激活所述生效时间的激活指示信息,激活所述生效时间,以指示UE按照TTI长度变更的生效时间,在所述通信链路上依据变更后的TTI长度进行通信。
本发明实施例中所述生效时间为针对一个UE的生效时间,或者为针对小区的生效时间,或者为针对一组UE的生效时间。
本发明实施例中可以设定多个生效时间,若预设的生效时间的数量不止一个,即生效时间的数量为至少两个,则eNB可以向UE发送指示信息,以指示UE在所述至少两个生效时间中选择一个生效时间,并指示UE按照选择的生效时间,在所述通信链路上依据变更后的TTI长度发送和/或接收数据。
本发明实施例中生效时间的数量为至少两个的情况下,还可以由eNB在所述至少两个生效时间中选择一个生效时间,并将所述选择的生效时间发送和/或指示给所述UE,并指示所述UE按照选择的生效时间,在所述通信链路上依据变更后的TTI长度发送和/或接收数据。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中涉及的eNB指示UE执行相应操作,可以理解为是eNB向UE发送指令或者消息,通过所述指令或者消息指示UE执行相应操作。例如,eNB指示UE按照TTI长度变更的生效时间,在所述通信链路上依据变更后的TTI长度进行通信,可以通过eNB向UE发送一个 消息,通过所述消息指示TTI长度变更的生效时间,并指示UE在该生效时间开始使用变更后的TTI长度进行通信。
本发明实施例中上述涉及的eNB向UE发送生效时间、激活指示信息或者其它指示信息,可以通过RRC消息、广播消息、MAC CE和物理层信令中的至少之一或者组合,以显式方式发送或者以隐式方式发送。
可选的,若通过物理层信令发送所述生效时间和所述激活信息,则所述生效时间和激活指示信息可在下行控制信息DCI中所发送,或者利用DCI的时频资源隐式发送,或者利用DCI的加扰扰码隐式发送。
其中,在DCI上加扰扰码,不占用DCI的物理资源,并能将所需信息传给终端。
可选的,若所述生效时间和激活指示信息是利用DCI的时频资源隐式发送的,则可以利用视频资源位置映射所述生效时间。
例如,可通过公式n=nrumod N;或者公式n=(nru+m)mod N,映射所述生效时间。其中,所述nru是用于UE下行控制信息所在的第一个无线单元的索引值,N用于表示可选的生存时间的数目,n为选择的生存时间的顺序号,m为网络侧分配的固定数值,mod()表示求余运算。
S303:UE接收UE发送的所述指示信息,并按照TTI长度变更的生效时间,在所述通信链路上依据变更后的TTI长度进行通信。
本发明实施例中,所述UE可通过接收eNB发送的激活指示信息,激活预先设置于UE上的所述生效时间或激活eNB发送给所述UE的生效时间。
可选的,若所述生效时间为至少两个生效时间,则所述UE可按照在所述至少两个生效时间中选择的一个生效时间,在所述通信链路上依据变更后的TTI长度发送和/或接收数据。
其中,所述UE可在所述至少两个生效时间中选择一个生效时间,或者接收eNB所选择并发送或指示的生效时间。
本发明实施例中,TTI长度发生变更时,eNB指示UE按照TTI长度变更 的生效时间,在TTI长度变更后的通信链路上进行通信,使得UE能够最大程度的完成和eNB之间进行通信的数据包的发送和/或接收,以避免发送和/或接收数据包的时频资源位置在TTI长度变更前后发生更迭,进而避免数据包的错发和错收。
图8为本发明实施例提供的第四种通信方法,如图8所示,包括:
S401:eNB确定通信链路上TTI长度发生变更。
S402:eNB将TTI长度变更信息发送给UE,并指示UE依据所述TTI长度变更信息,在所述通信链路上更新发送HARQ反馈信息的时频资源,并在更新后的所述时频资源上发送所述HARQ反馈信息。
其中,eNB可通过RRC消息、广播消息、MAC CE和物理层信令中的至少之一或者组合,以显式方式发送或者以隐式方式发送所述TTI长度变更信息。
可选的,所述TTI长度变更消息可包含于所述更新后的所述时频资源内。
可选的,所述TTI长度变更信息为一个UE的至少一个HARQ进程的TTI长度变更信息、一组UE的至少一个HARQ进程的TTI长度变更信息或者小区的至少一个HARQ进程的TTI长度变更信息。
S403:UE接收eNB发送的通信链路上传输时间间隔TTI长度变更信息,并依据所述TTI长度变更信息,在所述通信链路上更新HARQ反馈信息的时频资源,并在更新后的所述时频资源上发送所述HARQ反馈信息。
可选的,所述UE可在确定原本发送HARQ反馈信息的时间,在所述TTI长度变更时间之后情况下,依据所述TTI长度变更信息,在所述通信链路上更新发送HARQ反馈信息的时频资源。
本发明实施例中以下将对依据所述TTI长度变更信息,在所述通信链路上更新HARQ反馈信息的时频资源,并在更新后的所述时频资源上发送所述HARQ反馈信息的具体实现方式进行详细说明。
方式一:eNB和UE协商确定更新后的时频资源为:在所述TTI长度变更后的通信链路上、时频资源位置与所述TTI长度变更前发送所述HARQ反 馈信息的时频资源的TTI的起始位置时间最接近、且在所述时频资源起始时间位置处或者在所述时频资源时间起始位置之后的时频资源。
例如,图9中,TTI长度变更前发送所述HARQ反馈信息的时频资源的TTI的起始位置为标号为1的时域符号,则在TTI长度变更后的时频资源上,与所述标号为1的时域符号起始位置最接近的时域符号为标号为2的时域符号,则更新后的时频资源可以是标号为2以及其之后的标号为3、4等的时域符号对应的时频资源。
方式二:eNB和UE预设所述TTI长度变更后的下行TTI长度与上行TTI长度与所述指示位置之间的对应关系,并协商确定更新后的时频资源为:TTI长度变更后的下行TTI长度与上行TTI长度所对应指示位置处的时频资源。
其中,TTI长度变更后的下行TTI长度与上行TTI长度与所述指示位置之间的对应关系可参考表1所示:
下行/上行 2os/2os 7os/7os 2os/7os 7os/2os 2os/4os 7os/4os 14os/14os
指示位置 N+6 N+3 N+4 N+7 N+K N+K  
表1
其中,表1中指示位置中的数值是指在配置后下行/上行的TTI长度下,若在子帧N获取传输块,在N+6TTI UE向eNB发送HARQ反馈,这里的数值6为TTI的个数,包括现有的1ms的TTI以及短TTI个数。其他数值或者K的含义与上相同。
针对上述方式二,若eNB和UE确定了下行TTI长度与上行TTI长度后,则可根据预设的对应关系中的指示位置,在所述指示位置指示处的时频资源上发送所述HARQ反馈信息。
方式三:eNB和UE预设与所述TTI长度变更后的下行TTI长度与上行TTI长度之间具有对应关系的偏移量,并协商确定更新后的时频资源为:时频资源位置与TTI长度变更后下行TTI长度与上行TTI长度所对应指示位置具有设定偏移量的时频资源。
其中,时频资源位置与TTI长度变更后下行TTI长度与上行TTI长度所对应指示位置具有设定偏移量的时频资源可以理解为是在方式二的基础上再增加设定偏移量的指示位置,如表2所示:
Figure PCTCN2016094990-appb-000001
表2
其中,表2中K1、K2……K7是指偏移量,所述偏移量的取值可如表3所示:
Figure PCTCN2016094990-appb-000002
表3
可选的,本发明实施例中所述偏移量可以由eNB发送给所述UE;或者可以预置于所述UE和所述eNB上;或者可以由所述UE确定并发送给所述eNB;或者由所述UE和所述eNB共同协商。
方式四:eNB和UE预设所述TTI长度变更前的下行TTI长度与上行TTI长度、所述TTI长度变更后的下行TTI长度与上行TTI长度,与所述指示位置之间具有预设的对应关系。eNB和UE确定更新后的时频资源为:所述TTI长度变更前的下行TTI长度与上行TTI长度、所述TTI长度变更后的下行TTI长度与上行TTI长度所对应的指示位置处的时频资源。
本发明实施例中基于TTI长度变更前的下行TTI长度与上行TTI长度、以及所述TTI长度变更后的下行TTI长度与上行TTI长度,可采用合理的偏移量,设置指示位置。其中,所述偏移量是指TTI长度变更前的TTI长度位 置处映射到TTI长度变更后位置处的偏移量。其中,TTI长度变更前的下行TTI长度与上行TTI长度、以及所述TTI长度变更后的下行TTI长度与上行TTI长度对应的偏移量可如下表4所示:
Figure PCTCN2016094990-appb-000003
表4
可选的,表4中偏移量的具体数值可以如表5所示:
Figure PCTCN2016094990-appb-000004
表5
方式五:更新后的时频资源可为:TTI长度变更前发送所述HARQ反馈信息的时频资源在TTI长度变更后的通信链路上映射出的至少两个时频资源中的一个时频资源。
本发明实施例中,若TTI长度变更前发送所述HARQ反馈信息的时频资源在TTI长度变更后的通信链路上映射出的时频资源为多个,例如图9所示的情况,则可在映射出的多个时频资源中选择一个。
可选的,在至少两个时频资源中确定的一个时频资源可以为:所述至少两个时频资源中的任意一个时频资源;或者所述至少两个时频资源中时域位置最靠前的时频资源;或者所述eNB在所述至少两个时频资源中指定的一个时频资源;或者所述至少两个时频资源中时频资源起始位置在所述TTI长度变更前发送所述HARQ反馈信息的时频资源起始位置之后的时频资源。
其中,本发明实施例中可采用对TTI长度变更前发送所述HARQ反馈信息的时频资源在TTI长度变更后的通信链路上映射出的时频资源中的时域符号的标号的取整运算,以在所述至少两个时频资源中确定时频资源起始位置在所述TTI长度变更前发送所述HARQ反馈信息的时频资源起始位置之后的时频资源。例如TTI长度变更前发送所述HARQ反馈信息的时域符号的标号为20,TTI长度变更前发送所述HARQ反馈信息的时频资源在TTI长度变更后的通信链路上映射出的时频资源中的时域符号的标号为19、23,则19和23对20取整运算后,可确定标号为23的时域符号对应的时频资源是时频资源起始位置在所述TTI长度变更前发送所述HARQ反馈信息的时频资源起始位置之后的时频资源。
方式六:若在更新后的所述时频资源上发送的HARQ反馈消息为至少两个HARQ反馈消息,所述至少两个HARQ反馈消息可采用如下方式发送:
所述至少两个HARQ反馈消息通过绑定方式或者复用方式发送;或者所述至少两个HARQ反馈消息中携带有隐式HARQ标识信息或者显式HARQ标识信息;或者所述至少两个HARQ反馈消息为所述eNB预先约定的需要发送的HARQ反馈消息;或者所述至少两个HARQ反馈消息为所用TB的大小与当前TTI长度匹配的HARQ反馈消息;或者所述至少两个HARQ反馈消息为所述UE选择的HARQ反馈消息;或者所述至少两个HARQ反馈消息为TTI长度变更前和/或TTI长度变更后的HARQ反馈消息;或者所述至少两个 HARQ反馈消息为按照预设优先级顺序选择的HARQ反馈消息。
其中,至少两个HARQ反馈消息通过绑定方式或者复用方式在更新后的时频资源中发送的具体时域资源位置可以是在更新后的时频资源中任意选择的,也可以是预定义的,还可以是eNB配置的。
可选的,本发明实施例中可采用表6的方式,确定通过绑定方式或者复用方式在更新后的时频资源中发送HARQ反馈消息的具体时域资源位置:
Figure PCTCN2016094990-appb-000005
Figure PCTCN2016094990-appb-000006
表6
其中,表6中1/2/3中的1表示任意选择,2表示预定义,3表示由eNB配置。
方式七:由eNB向UE发送更新后的时频资源位置给所述UE;或者在所述UE和所述eNB上预置所述更新后的时频资源位置;或者由所述UE确定所述更新后的时频资源位置并发送给所述eNB;或者由所述UE和所述eNB共同协商所述更新后的时频资源位置。
其中,本发明实施例中所述时频资源位置可通过RRC消息、广播消息、 MAC CE和物理层信令中的至少之一或者组合,以显式方式发送或者以隐式方式发送。
进一步的,所述时频资源位置可以是具体的UE的时频资源位置信息,也可以是具体的小区的时频资源位置信息,还可以是UE HARQ进程的具体时频资源位置信息。
方式八:UE在更新后的所述时频资源上发送正确应答(ACK)的HARQ反馈信息,而不发送错误应答(NACK)的HARQ反馈信息。若eNB未接收到UE发送的HARQ反馈信息,则向UE发送清零指示,以将UE的HARQ进程的TB清零,或者将UE的HARQ进程清零,UE接收eNB发送的清零指示,依据所述清零指示将UE的HARQ进程的TB清零,或者将UE的HARQ进程清零。
方式九:eNB选择并发送的HARQ标识,以及TTI长度变更后的下行TTI长度与上行TTI长度信息,以使UE依据TTI长度变更后的下行TTI长度与上行TTI长度信息,确定变更后的时频资源,并在更新后的所述时频资源上发送所述eNB指示的所述HARQ标识对应的HARQ应答信息。
方式十:UE采用异步HARQ形式发送HARQ反馈信息,并在更新后的所述时频资源上发送的所述HARQ反馈信息中显式或者隐式包括HARQ标识信息。
其中,更新后的时频资源包括物理层上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel,PUCCH)或者物理层上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Share Channel,PUSCH)。其中,所述PUCCH和PUSCH包括sTTI上的PUCCH和PUSCH。
其中,HARQ标识在所述时频资源上的映射关系可满足如下公式:
HARQID=f(nPUCCH)=nPUCCHmode number(HARQ);
或者
HARQID=f(nPUSCH)=nPUSCHmode number(HARQ)。
其中,HARQID为HARQ标识,f(nPUCCH)表示以nPUCCH为输入变量的函数,f(nPUSCH)表示以nPUSCH为输入变量的函数,nPUCCH表示PUCCH所在资源位置相关数值,nPUSCH表示PUSCH所在资源位置相关数值,mode表示取模运算,number(HARQ)表示HARQ进程个数。
本发明实施例针对DL HARQ,在TTI变更时刻,UE利用通过上述方式确定的更新后的时频资源反馈HARQ反馈消息,能够避免发送和/或接收数据包的时频资源位置在TTI长度变更前后发生更迭,进而避免数据包的错发和错收。
图10为本发明实施例提供的第五种通信方法,如图10所示,包括:
S501:eNB确定通信链路上TTI长度发生变更。
S502:eNB将TTI长度变更信息发送给UE。
S503:eNB基于TTI长度变更前的HARQ的TB,发送新传TB或者重传TB。
S504:获取所述eNB发送的新传TB或者重传TB,并停止发送HARQ反馈信息。
S505:UE基于所述新传TB或者重传TB、以及TTI长度变更前的TB,进行联合解码获得TTI长度变更后的TB信息。
本发明实施例中eNB向UE发送新传TB或者重传TB,UE基于所述新传TB或者重传TB、以及TTI长度变更前的TB,进行联合解码获得TTI长度变更后的TB信息,在TTI长度变更后的TB信息继续进行通信,能够免发送和/或接收数据包的时频资源位置在TTI长度变更前后发生更迭,进而避免数据包的错发和错收。
针对UL HARQ过程,UE需要向eNB发送数据包的过程主要涉及UE接收eNB发送的上行授权(UL grant),准备发送PUSCH以及UE准备重传TB两个过程。
本发明实施例以下将针对上述两个过程,在TTI长度发生变更的过程中, 避免数据包错发和错收的实施过程进行说明。
一种实施方式中,eNB和UE确定TTI长度发生变更的情况下,eNB向UE发送用于指示UE发送和/或接收数据的通信链路上的TTI长度发生变更的TTI长度变更指令。UE根据接收到网络设备发送的用于指示UE发送和/或接收数据的通信链路上的TTI长度发生变更的TTI长度变更指令以及接收到上行授权的时间,进行相应的处理。其中,若所述UE接收到所述上行授权的时间在接收到所述TTI长度变更指令时间之后,或者所述UE同时接收到所述上行授权和所述TTI长度变更指令,则所述UE依据所述上行授权,在所述TTI长度发生变更的通信链路上发送数据。若所述UE接收到所述上行授权的时间在接收到所述TTI长度变更指令时间之前,则所述UE丢弃所述上行授权对应的时频资源。
另一种实施方式中,eNB和UE确定TTI长度发生变更的情况下,eNB向UE发送用于指示UE发送和/或接收数据的通信链路上的TTI长度发生变更的TTI长度变更指令,UE接收所述TTI长度变更指令并接收所述网络设备发送的、用于指示上行授权有效与否的指示信息,若所述上行授权有效,则利用所述上行授权在所述TTI长度发生变更的通信链路上发送数据。若所述上行授权无效,则丢弃所述上行授权对应的时频资源。
再一种实施方式中,eNB和UE确定TTI长度发生变更的情况下,eNB可向UE发送物理层信息,通过所述物理层信息指示UE依据上行授权发送数据,或者依据长度变更后TTI发送数据。所述UE接收所述网络设备发送的物理层信息,按照所述物理层信息,依据上行授权发送数据,或者依据长度变更后TTI发送数据。
又一种实施方式中,eNB和UE确定TTI长度发生变更的情况下,eNB可向UE重新发送上行授权,所述UE接收网络设备重新发送的上行授权,并依据所述重新发送的上行授权,在TTI长度变更后的通信链路上发送数据。
本发明实施例上述几种实施方式中,UE利用上行授权,在所述TTI长度发生变更的通信链路上发送的数据,可以是携带有HARQ标识的TB数据。
本发明实施例中UE利用上行授权,在所述TTI长度发生变更的通信链路上发送的数据,若发送数据的时频资源位置有多个,则可参阅上述实施例中涉及的方式五的方式进行处理。若发送的数据有多个,则可参阅上述实施例中涉及的方式六的方式进行处理。本发明实施例在此不再赘述。
本发明实施例通过上述几种可能的实施方式,能够避免UL HARQ过程中,TTI长度发生变更造成的数据包错发。
针对UL HARQ过程中,eNB向UE发送HARQ反馈信息时,由于当前标准选择了物理混合自动请求重传指示信道(Physical HARQ Indication Channel,PHICH)减少的异步的UL HARQ,因此,若TTI长度由低于1ms的短TTI变更为1msTTI,UE从监听物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)和短物理下行控制信道(Short Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)转为监听PHICH信道,UE监听每个PHICH,有可能两个sTTI使用了相同的资源分配(Resource Allocation,RA)发送TB,而PHICH是根据UE发送的RA决定HARQ反馈对应的UE信息的,导致PHICH发送HARQ反馈消息时发生冲突,进而使得UE不能确定具体接收到的是哪个进程的HARQ。本发明实施例中所述发生冲突是指低于1ms的短TTI配置时,至少两个TTI在接收网络侧的数据时,在相同的频域资源获得TB,导致UE需要在TTI变更后的1msTTI的eNB的PHICH的同一个位置接收两个TTI的HARQ反馈消息。
本发明实施例中,为使UE能够确定具体接收到的是哪个进程的HARQ,可采用如下方式:
一种实施方式中,eNB发送对接收到的数据进行HARQ反馈的HARQ标识或者对接收到的数据进行HARQ反馈的数据标识,UE接收eNB发送的、对所述数据进行HARQ反馈的HARQ标识或者对所述数据进行HARQ反馈的数据标识,依据所述HARQ反馈的HARQ标识或者数据标识,能够确定出具体的HARQ。
另一种实施方式中,网络设备发送指示信息,所述指示信息用于指示是 否对接收到的数据进行HARQ反馈的HARQ标识或者用于指示是否对接收到的数据进行HARQ反馈的数据标识。所述UE接收网络设备发送的指示信息,根据所述指示信息能够确定对应所述HARQ标识或数据标识的数据是否存在HARQ反馈,进而可确定具体的HARQ。
上述两种实施方式中,所述HARQ标识或所述数据标识可通过DCI发送和接收,所述HARQ标识或所述数据标识还可与PHICH的位置信息关联。
又一种实施方式中,所述网络设备可发送对所述数据进行HARQ反馈的HARQ反馈信息中发生冲突的第一个HARQ的反馈信息或者高优先级的HARQ的反馈,进而避免发生HARQ冲突。
本发明实施例中,所述UE可通过传输HARQ标识和/或HARQ反馈信息相关联的TB的时频资源,获取传输所述HARQ反馈信息的时频资源。可选的,UE将HARQ标识与HARQ反馈信息的时频资源进行映射,UE在HARQ标识对应的HARQ反馈信息的时频资源处获取HARQ反馈信息。或者,可选的,UE在使用HARQ反馈信息对应的TB时频资源时,就在TB时频资源处向eNB隐含指示了它需要的后续接收HARQ反馈的时频资源位置,eNB获得UE发送的TB时,就会在对应的位置发送HARQ反馈信息。其中,所述时频资源中可包括低于1ms的短TTI的时间信息。UE依据获取的时频资源传输所述HARQ反馈信息。其中,UE可以变更后TTI为基准,执行同步HARQ。
