In some embodiments, it can be similar to the index to NB, ENB is indexed according to the incremental order of PRB.

In various embodiments, this definition of ENB can be only applied to the LTE system that BW is greater than 1.4MHz.For BW For the LTE system of 1.4MHz, ENB defines the definition (for example, continuous 6 PRB of frequency) that can be degenerated for NB.

The various embodiments being discussed herein can be related to being used for PDSCH and/or PUSCH based on the ENB for CE Mode A Resource allocation option.Various resource allocation mechanisms for PDSCH and PUSCH can combine ENB.

In some embodiments, DCI format 6-1A (distributing with DL) and 6-0A (having UL license) can be used existing Resource block allocation field ceil (log2 (N_ENB ^XL)) a most significant bit (MSB) indicates ENB index, wherein for DCI 6-1A and 6-0A, XL are respectively DL and UL, and N_ENB ^XLIt can be the sum of the ENB in the system BW for XL=DL or UL Mesh.

Further, it is possible to use the next ceil (log2 (N of resource block allocation field_NB ^XL-ENB)) a MSB is using NB as grain Degree is to indicate the assigned frequency domain resource in ENB, wherein N_NB ^XL-ENBIt can indicate the number of the NB in ENB and can be by N_NB ^XL-ENB=floor (N_RB ^XL-ENB/ 6) it provides, wherein N_RB ^XL-ENBIt can indicate the number of the RB in ENB.By N_NB ^XL-ENBInstruction The NB of number can be continuous with frequency and since first (minimum) NB, or can be continuous with frequency and in ENB Finally (highest) NB terminates.In other words, with reference to NB can be first (minimum) NB (as one group be assigned NB beginning NB) or Finally (highest) NB (the end NB of NB is assigned as one group).

Alternatively, it can be any NB in ENB with reference to NB, and assigned NB can be in ENB relative to reference All first NB or all of NB are in rear NB.Ceil (log2 (N can be used with reference to the instruction of NB_NB ^XL-Ref-NB)) position, wherein N_NB ^XL-Ref-NBIt can indicate the possible number with reference to NB.In some exemplary embodiments, N_NB ^XL-Ref-NB=N_NB ^XL-ENB.Phase The selection of " first " NB or " rear " NB for reference NB can predefine or pre-defined (for example, fixed), Huo Zheke With dynamic configuration (for example, via additional 1 in DCI), or can be semi-statically configured (for example, believing via such as RRC The higher level signaling of order).The embodiment for being the first NB or last NB in ENB for reference NB, can be with when instruction is with reference to NB Impliedly indicate the instruction about " first " NB and " rear " NB, " first " for reference NB is last NB, for reference NB " rear " be the first NB.

In addition, in some embodiments, as another alternative of the NB in distribution ENB, can indicate starting NB rope Draw and by the number of the NB of distribution.Starting NB can be the first (minimum) NB or last (highest) NB in ENB.Following table 3 Provide the example of possible starting NB index and NB length.

The illustration of possibility NB distribution in table 3.ENB

The digit of instruction for the NB in ENB can be ceil (log₂((N_NB ^XL-ENB+1)/2*N_NB ^XL-ENB))) position.Example Such as, when ENB includes 4 NB, the digit for the NB distribution in ENB can be 4 in the present embodiment.

In various embodiments, due to DFT size can be limited to 2,3, and/or 5 multiple, it is possible to exclusion can Think the NB of the number of 7 multiple for PUSCH transmission.Therefore, the digit for UL can be further reduced.Alternatively, may be used To reuse including that can indicate that the NB being distributed is distributed by the combination of the NB number of 7 multiple, this can advantageously be improved Dispatching flexibility.

For example, exclusion can be 7 multiple when maximum UE BW is 20MHz and ENB is defined to include 16 NB The resource allocation of NB number can list as follows:

Originating NB can be 0, and NB number can be any in set { 1,2 .., 6,8,9 ..., 13,15,16 } Value.

Originating NB can be 1, and NB number can be any in set { 1,2 ..., 6,8,9 ..., 13,15 } Value.

Originating NB can be 2, and NB number can be the arbitrary value in set { 1,2 ..., 6,8,9 ... 13 }.

Originate NB can be x, wherein x can in set { 3,4 ..., 8 }, and NB number can for gather 1, 2 ..., 6,8 ..., 16-x } in arbitrary value.

Originating NB can be 9, and NB number can be the arbitrary value in set { 1,2 ..., 6 }.

Originate NB can be x, wherein x can in set { 10 ..., 15 }, and NB number can for gather 1, 2 ..., 16-x in arbitrary value.

The number that may be combined above can be 123, thereby indicate that symbol has 7 to be sufficient.There may be can be used for 7 More 5 kinds of resource allocations of resource allocation.This 5 kinds of resource allocations can be retained, and this 5 kinds of resource allocations can be used Indicate be distributed NB distribution.In some embodiments, if supporting the NB of all numbers, the ENB's including 16 NB can The number that can be combined can be 136, therefore digit required for NB indicator can be ceil (log₂((N_NB ^XL-ENB+1)/2* N_NB ^XL-ENB)))=8.

For some embodiments, at least for DL scheduling (for example, the case where for PDSCH), can be used length and be equal to N_NB ^XL-ENBBitmap indicate distributed NB.For example, bitmap 1001 can indicate in ENB for the ENB including four NB First and last NB is assigned.

In some embodiments, it in order to reduce the digit for NB distribution, can be used predetermined or predetermined One group of NB.For example, when ENB includes 4 NB (for example, being the system of 10MHz, 15MHz or 20MHz for BW) in system, The position of instruction NB index is reused to indicate ENB index, this can be left 2 for the NB distribution in ENB.Implement at one In example, this 2 positions can be used to indicate one of following NB distribution: { 0,1 }, { 2,3 }, { 0,1,2 } or { 0,1,2,3 }.

For some embodiments, last 5 of the resource block allocation field in DCI 6-0A and/or DCI 6-1A can be used Position indicates the PRB being assigned in 6-PRB NB, and identical PRB distribution can be carried out in each 6-PRB NB.Although This method can be used for DL, but due to the single-carrier property of transmission of the violation based on SC-FDMA, not into UE distribution NB All PRB in the case where do not expect this method for UL resource allocation.

In some embodiments, the alternative for solving this problem can be last the 5 of resolving resource block allocation field Position come indicate in ENB be assigned the first NB or assigned last NB PRB, and parse in ENB in rear NB All PRB in (if the RB in the first NB of RB distribution instruction) or formerly NB (if RB distribution indicates the RB in last NB) It is assigned.This alternative can be only applied to UL (for example, being used for PUSCH), while previous alternative (for example, ENB Identical PRB distribution in each NB) it can be used for DL (PDSCH), or substitution parsing can be applied to UL (PUSCH) and DL (PDSCH) both resource allocations.

For some embodiments, added field can not be needed in DCI format 6-0A and 6-1A, because UE is via higher Layer signaling can resolving resource block again as described above when being configured to work at " polymerization BW mode " or " higher BW mode " Distribution.Alternatively, support the FeMTC UE greater than 1.4MHz BW that can be designated as always parsing DCI format as described above Resource allocation field in 6-0A and 6-1A is parsed without being defined according to the 3GPP version 13 of corresponding DCI format.

Odd number is directed to if ENB definition includes center PRB (it is not belonging to any 6-PRB NB) according to above method The case where system BW, it is impossible to additional center PRB be explicitly indicated.But it still can be by defining following behavior come implicit Ground distributing center PRB, if NB of the behavior i.e. in the center side PRB is assigned to UE, center PRB can also be recognized To be to be assigned to UE.This method may be particularly suitable for PUSCH scheduling (since single carrier constrains).

Alternatively, 1 new bit field can be used or by the way that existing resource block allocation field is extended 1, to increase Big DCI size be cost come Deictic Center PRB distribution (whether).This method can only be considered for the scheduling of PDSCH (that is, DCI 6-1A), the UL without being considered for PUSCH transmission permit.

The edge PRB that any NB is not belonging in certain system BW may also be included in that in ENB, and can be assigned to UE.The instruction of edge PRB distribution can be specific or implicit (as center PRB is distributed).For implicit indication, Ke Yiding The following behavior of justice: if the first NB or last NB close to the edge PRB for being not belonging to any NB are assigned, close to assigned The edge PRB of NB can also be assigned.For being explicitly indicated, 1 bit field can be added to DCI and be used to indicate.Note that if side Edge PRB can be only used for DL or UL transmission, then can be applied to corresponding DL or UL for this resource allocation of edge PRB and pass It is defeated.

It can other than the parsing again of the resource allocation field in DCI format 6-0A and 6-1A for some embodiments The additional flexibility of the distribution of the frequency domain resource in each NB including ENB is provided to introduce one or more newer fields.

It in some embodiments, can be by using ceil (log2 (N_ENB ^XL)) ENB index in position instruction system BW Frequency domain resource distribution is carried out, and DL resource allocation type 2 can be used with N_NB ^XL-ENBA RB is granularity to indicate the money in ENB Source, wherein N_NB ^XL-ENBIt is the number of the NB in the ENB of corresponding system BW.Therefore, it is possible to use 5 (such as in DCI format 6-1A In) indicate the resource allocation in ENB.It, can for some embodiments based on this method using DL resource allocation type 2 Resource allocation granularity is defined as k RB, wherein k can be predetermined or pre-defined (for example, specified)；For example, K can be previously determined to be 2.

It can also support different groups of the option of the resource allocation in the NB and NB in instruction ENB discussed in this article It closes.

The various embodiments being discussed herein can be related to the resource of PDSCH and PUSCH based on the ENB for CE Mode B Distribution options.

Based on DCI format 6-1B and 6-0B, the resource allocation mechanism for PDSCH and PUSCH be can be used for CE mould The ENB of formula B UE.Digit in the resource allocation field of DCI format 6-1B and 6-0B can be respectively ceil (log2 (N_NB ^DL)) + 1 and ceil (log2 (N_NB ^UL))+3, wherein N_NB ^XLIt can indicate the NB number in XL, for format 6-1B, XL=DL, And for format 6-0B, XL=UL.

Although DL and UL scheduling option is shown below, in some embodiments, there is the UE greater than 1.4MHz to believe The application greater than 6-PRB NB of road BW can only be supported for unicast PDSCH, and cannot be supported for non-unicast PUSCH transmission (when UE is in CE Mode B).

In some embodiments, NB is distributed, it may be considered that various methods.For some embodiments, DCI format 6-1B Ceil (log2 (the N of existing resource block allocation field can be used in (distributing with DL) and 6-0B (with UL license)_ENB ^XL)) A most significant bit (MSB) indicates ENB index, wherein for DCI 6-1B and 6-0B, XL is respectively DL and UL, wherein N_ENB ^XLIt can be the total number of the ENB in the system BW for XL=DL or UL.Using this method, other than ENB index Residue can be able to be ceil (log2 (N with the total number of position_NB ^XL))-ceil(log2(N_ENB ^XL))+y, wherein for DL, y= 1, for UL, y=3.

In addition, the distribution of the NB in ENB can be based on various methods.Note that using the certain methods being discussed herein or Using some maximum UE channel BW (for example, 20MHz), the residue in resource allocation field can be possible not enough with position, and may Need additional position/field.

In some embodiments, the next ceil (log2 (N of resource block allocation field can be used_NB ^XL-ENB)) a MSB, frequency domain resource in ENB is indicated as granularity using NB.N_NB ^XL-ENBIt can indicate the number of the NB in ENB, and can be by N_NB ^XL-ENB=floor (N_RB ^XL-ENB/ 6) it provides, wherein N_RB ^XL-ENBIt can indicate the number of the RB in ENB.By N_RB ^XL-ENBInstruction The NB of number can be that frequency is continuous, and can be since first (minimum) NB in ENB, or can be continuous with frequency And can last (highest) NB in ENB terminate.In other words, it can be first (minimum) NB (as one group of institute with reference to NB The starting NB of the NB of distribution) or last (highest) NB (the end NB of the NB distributed as one group).For the maximum UE of 5MHz Channel BW, residue can be able to be at least 2+y (for ceil (log2 (N with position_NB ^XL-ENB)) for be enough).

For some embodiments, any NB in ENB can be with reference to NB, and the NB distributed can be phase in ENB For all first or all in rear NB of reference NB.Ceil (log2 (N can be used with reference to the instruction of NB_NB ^XL-Ref-NB)) position, Wherein, N_NB ^XL-Ref-NBIt can indicate the possible number with reference to NB, and in one example, N_NB ^XL-Ref-NB=N_NB ^XL-ENB.Phase The selection of " first " or " rear " NB of reference NB can be and predefine or (for example, fixed) predetermined, or Person can be (for example, additional 1 in DCI) of dynamic configuration, or can be semi-statically configured (for example, via such as RRC The higher level signaling of signaling).The embodiment for being the first NB or last NB for reference NB, can be when instruction be with reference to NB impliedly Indicate the instruction about " first " and " rear " NB, " first " NB relative to reference NB is last NB, relative to reference NB's " rear " NB is the first NB.

In some embodiments, for the maximum UE channel BW of 5MHz, residue can be at least 2 with position, refer to NB can use position for ceil (log2 (N for these residues in the case where any NB_NB ^XL-Ref-NB)) be it is enough, and " First " NB or " rear " NB can be predetermined or predetermined, or can be semi-statically configured via higher level signaling. If 2 can be restricted to reference to the possibility set of NB with the selection of DCI instruction " first " or " rear ".

For some embodiments, in order to distribute the NB in ENB, the number of starting NB index and NB to be allocated can be only indicated Mesh.Starting NB can be the first (minimum) NB or last (highest) NB in ENB.The distribution method can distribute continuous NB distribution.

Following table 4 can provide the example of possible starting NB index and NB length.

The illustration of possibility NB distribution in table 4:ENB

The digit of instruction for the NB in ENB can be ceil (log₂((N_NB ^XL-ENB+1)/2*N_NB ^XL-ENB))) position.Example Such as, when ENB includes 4 NB, the digit for the NB distribution in ENB can be 4.Note that the NB of the multiple for 7 can be excluded Number is used for PUSCH transmission, because DFT size is restricted to 2,3 and 5 multiple.Therefore, the digit that UL needs can be further Reduce.Alternatively, it can reuse including that can indicate that the NB being distributed is distributed by the combination of the NB number of 7 multiple, this Dispatching flexibility can advantageously be improved.

For example, then exclusion can be 7 times when maximum UE BW is 20MHz and ENB is defined to include 16 NB The resource allocation of several NB numbers can be listed as follows:

Originating NB can be 0, and NB number can be appointing in set { 1,2 ..., 6,8,9 ..., 13,15,16 } Meaning value.

Originating NB can be 1, and NB number can be any in set { 1,2 ..., 6,8,9 ..., 13,15 } Value.

Originating NB can be 2, and NB number can be the arbitrary value in set { 1,2 ..., 6,8,9 ..., 13 }.

Originate NB can be x, wherein x can in set { 3,4 ..., 8 }, and NB number can for gather 1, 2 ..., 6,8 ..., 16-x } in arbitrary value.

Originating NB can be 9, and NB number can be the arbitrary value in set { 1,2 ..., 6 }.

Originate NB can be x, wherein x can in set { 10 ..., 15 }, and NB number can for gather 1, 2 ..., 16-x in arbitrary value.

The number of above possibility combination can be 123, therefore 7 indicators are sufficient.In the presence of can be used for 7 resources More 5 kinds of resource allocations of distribution.This 5 kinds of resource allocations can be retained or may be used to indicate that be distributed NB points Match.In some embodiments, if supporting the NB of all numbers, the number of the possibility combination for the ENB including 16 NB It can be 136, therefore digit required for NB indicator can be ceil (log₂((N_NB ^XL-ENB+1)/2*N_NB ^XL-ENB)))=8 Position.

It in some embodiments, is 5MHz and N for maximum UE BW_NB ^XL-ENB=4 scene, required digit can Think 4.Residue can be possible not enough with position.Some embodiments can add additional position/field and distribute instruction for NB.

For some embodiments, in order to minimize the digit for NB distribution, can be used predetermined or pre-defined One group of NB.For example, when ENB includes 4 NB (for example, being the system of 10MHz, 15MHz or 20MHz for BW) in system When, the position of instruction NB index is reused to indicate ENB index, can leave 2 for the NB distribution in ENB.Implement at one In example, this 2 positions can be used to indicate one of following NB distribution: { 0,1 }, { 2,3 }, { 0,1,2 } or { 0,1,2,3 }.

For some embodiments, at least for DL scheduling the case where (for example, for PDSCH), length can be used and be equal to N_NB ^XL-ENBBitmap indicate distributed NB.For example, bitmap 1001 can indicate in ENB for the ENB including four NB First NB and last NB is assigned.

In some embodiments, in order to indicate the PRB in NB distribute, it may be considered that various methods.For some embodiments, The PRB being assigned in 6-PRB NB can follow DCI 6-0B and DCI 6-1B design, wherein can be used in DCI 6-0B 3 instruction RB distribution, and can be used in DCI 6-1B 1 to indicate RB { 0,1 ..., 5 } or { 0,1,2,3 }.It can be with The same allocated of PRB is carried out in each 6-PRB NB.Although this method can be used for DL, SC- is based on due to violating The single-carrier property of the transmission of FDMA, in the case where all PRB not into UE distribution NB, this method may not be suitable for UL resource allocation.

For some embodiments, the alternative for solving this problem can be resolving resource block allocation field, with instruction The PRB of first NB or last NB of the distribution for being assigned in ENB, and parse (referring to if RB is distributed in ENB in rear NB Show the RB in the first NB) or formerly all PRB in NB (if RB distribution indicates the RB in last NB) can also be assigned.This Kind of substitution parsing can be applied to UL (PUSCH), and be used for the parsing before DL (PDSCH) (for example, in each NB of ENB Identical PRB distribution) or substitution parsing can be used for both UL (PUSCH) and DL (PDSCH) resource allocation.

In some embodiments, in this case, added field is not needed in DCI format 6-0B and 6-1B, because of UE Institute as above can be parsed again when being configured to work at " aggregation BW mode " or " higher BW mode " via higher level signaling The resource block distribution stated.Alternatively, support the FeMTC UE greater than 1.4MHz BW that can be designated as always parsing as described above DCI format 6-0B and 6-1B in resource allocation field, without according to the 3GPP version 13 of corresponding DCI format definition solved Analysis.

According to the above method, in the case where ENB definition includes center PRB (it is not belonging to any 6-PRB NB), for The case where odd system BW, it is impossible to additional center PRB be explicitly indicated.But still can by define following behavior come Implicitly distributing center PRB, if the behavior is that NB in the center side PRB is assigned to UE, center PRB can also be with It is considered as being assigned to UE.This method may be particularly suitable for PUSCH scheduling (since single carrier constrains).

Alternatively, 1 new bit field can be used or by the way that existing resource block allocation field is extended 1, to increase Big DCI size be cost come Deictic Center PRB distribution (whether).This method can only be considered for the scheduling of PDSCH (that is, DCI 6-1B), the UL without being considered for PUSCH transmission permit.

The edge PRB that any NB is not belonging in certain system BW may also be included in that in ENB, and can be assigned to UE.The instruction of edge PRB distribution can be specific or implicit (as center PRB is distributed).For implicit indication, Ke Yiding The following behavior of justice: if the first NB or last NB close to the edge PRB for being not belonging to any NB are assigned, close to assigned The edge PRB of NB can also be assigned.For being explicitly indicated, 1 bit field can be added to DCI and be used to indicate.Note that if side Edge PRB can be only used for DL or UL transmission, then can be applied to corresponding DL or UL for this resource allocation of edge PRB and pass It is defeated.

It can other than the parsing again of the resource allocation field in DCI format 6-0B and 6-1B for some embodiments The additional flexibility of the distribution of the frequency domain resource in each NB including ENB is provided to introduce one or more newer fields.

It in some embodiments, can be by using ceil (log2 (N_ENB ^XL)) ENB index in position instruction system BW Frequency domain resource distribution is carried out, and DL resource allocation type 2 can be used with N_NB ^XL-ENBA RB is granularity to indicate the money in ENB Source, wherein N_NB ^XL-ENBIt is the number of the NB in the ENB of corresponding system BW.Therefore, other than the remaining bit in the instruction of NB index 3 (such as in DCI format 6-0B), i.e. ceil (log2 (N_NB ^XL))-ceil(log2(N_ENB ^XL)) position, it could be used to indicate that needle To the resource allocation in the ENB of PUSCH.For PDSCH, the digit in resource allocation field can be 2 fewer than PUSCH.It can be with It adopts and reduces required digit in the following method.In another reality based on this method using DL resource allocation type 2 Apply in example, resource allocation granularity can be defined as to k RB, wherein k can be predefine or it is predetermined (for example, by Specification is predetermined or pre-defined).For example, k can be 2.Alternatively, additional position can be added.

It can also support different groups of the option of the resource allocation in the NB and NB in instruction ENB discussed in this article It closes.

The various embodiments being discussed herein can be related to supporting the PDSCH of the FeMTC UE for UE BW greater than 6 PRB With the mechanism and method of the FH of PUSCH.

In some cases for supporting the FeMTC UE greater than 1.4MHz BW, for example, when PDSCH/PUSCH distribution can be with When across more than one 6-PRB NB, since the circulating type of band edge is handled, based on the original allocation and frequency configured While offset determines the NB that will be skipped when configuration FH, there are conducts in question.

For supporting the UE BW of the 5MHz of the FeMTC UE of larger BW, and it is for 10MHz, 15MHz and 20MHz Unite BW, may divide in two both sides of edges of system BW for the resource that PDSCH and/or PUSCH are distributed, therefore entire The only a part of distribution can be accessed by UE.This may be because can define FH with NB granularity.

Fig. 4 shows the physics of the frequency hopping (FH) divided at band edge according to the utilization of some embodiments of the present disclosure Downlink sharied signal channel (PDSCH)/physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) distribution division.The first system BW 410 (it can be 10MHz) may include multiple PRB 412, multiple 6-PRB NB 414 and one or more ENB 416.The Two system BW 420 (it can be 10MHz) may include multiple PRB 422 and multiple 6-PRB NB424.

May the NB subset (and not all NB) only in ENB can be allocated for transmitting.ENB#1 (including NB#4 to NB# 7) PDSCH and/or PUSCH transmission can be allocated for.FH offset for 2 NB, division can occur in band edge.

In some embodiments, the first solution in response to the above problems may rely on eNodeB scheduler embodiment party Formula, wherein the embodiment will ensure that the resulting NB of FH offset for the specific configuration for the FeMTCUE for supporting larger BW will not It will receive the influence of circulating type processing.For example, will lead to those of above-mentioned division distribution for circulating type processing, can be used FH field in DCI disables FH.The defect of first solution is the potential impact for dispatching flexibility, not only for Other UE (for example, 13 BL/CE UE of 3GPP version) that FeMTC UE and the meeting of being directed to conflict with FeMTC distribution (are removed non-used Additional constraint is carefully scheduled (if FH is activated these UE) to these UE, otherwise just not frequency hopping).

In order to cope with this disadvantage, for some embodiments, the second solution in response to the above problems can be for Support the FeMTC UE of larger BW that resource allocation and FH based on ENB is used (to be at least scheduled in these UE with frequency domain resource When more than 6 PRB are used for PDSCH and/or PUSCH).

Correspondingly, in some embodiments, the initial money of PDSCH and/or PUSCH can be used for definition as unit of ENB Source block distributes (as described in previous subdivision), and FH can be deviated and (can indicate that FH is deviated as unit of NB) and determined Justice is the integral multiple (as defined in particular system BW) of the number of the NB in ENB, to avoid the edge surrounding system BW Any problem.Therefore, it is not intended that the FH for configuring the integral multiple of the number of the NB in the ENB for not being correspondence system BW for UE is inclined It moves.

Note that can be applied to 13 BL/CE of 3GPP version and other BL/CE UE supported no more than 1.4MHz UE BW Identical FH offset.Furthermore it is possible to advantageously avoid with rushing between the FeMTC UE and other UE for being greater than 6 PRB distribution It is prominent.

In some embodiments, third solution in response to the above problems is that definition is used for PDSCH as unit of ENB And/or the initial resource block of PUSCH distributes (as described in previous subdivision), and uses and be not confined to ENB size Multiple FH offset.In such embodiments, the application that can define FH allows to true based on the first NB in ENB The fixed ENB jumped to since original allocation, and FH rule can be defined, allow UE according to ENB#i (for example, initial point With) selection ENB#j, so that NB (it can be NB NB_i+FH_offset) can be fallen in ENB#j, wherein NB_i can To be the first NB (or the last NB or NB of any specific designated position) of ENB#i.Therefore, can with NB granularity (rather than ENB granularity) come configure FH offset FH_offset, and UE can according to the reference NB application FH_offset into ENB whether Cause to be transformed into different ENB to determine to jump to (or not jumping to) different ENB.

Fig. 5 is shown to be distributed according to the PDSCH/PUSCH of FH of the utilization based on reference NB of some embodiments of the present disclosure. The first system BW 510 (it can be 10MHz) may include multiple PRB 512, multiple 6-PRB NB 514 and one or Multiple ENB 516.Second system BW 520 (it can be 10MHz) may include multiple PRB 522 and multiple 6-PRB NB 524。

Fig. 5 depicts the scene of the FH for the first NB that NB_i is ENB#i.In this scene, for certain (smaller) values FH_offset, FeMTC UE can not jumped completely.ENodeB scheduler may insure in the subframe that should apply FH, ENB#i Frequency domain resource be not assigned to other UE.Otherwise, it is supporting larger BW and cannot effectively jump to different groups of frequency resource FeMTC UE with there may be conflict between other UE of the practical frequency location for changing them of FH boundary.

In addition, FH unit can be k in some embodiments that may relate to the second solution and third solution A NB rather than ENB.The granularity of frequency-hopping resource can be k continuous NB, while frequency hopping shift can (it can be with for k-NB segmentation It is related to the second solution) or any number of NB (it can be related to third solution).It is tool instead of defining ENB size K-NB piecewise analytic can be to be determined by the maximum number of continuous NB for having the UE of the UE channel BW greater than 1.4MHz that can support Justice is the ENB for including k continuous NB, wherein what k can be supported no more than the UE with the UE channel BW greater than 1.4MHz The maximum number of continuous NB.

Parameter k can be predefine or it is predetermined, (for example, by higher level signaling) is semi-statically configured, or Person can dynamically be indicated by adding extra order in DCI.For example, k can be the arbitrary value in set { 1,2,4,8 }, In this case, it can be set 2 to be added in DCI for dynamic instruction.Alternatively, can impliedly indicate k (for example, K is equal to the number for the NB that distribution is used for transmission).In the scene that the FH method based on ENB never leads to FH This mechanism can be applied.It may be smaller (for example, 3MHz for example, being equally likely to 20MHz or system BW in maximum UE channel BW Or 5MHz) scene in, this mechanism can be applied.

Furthermore it is possible to the combination of various mechanism be specified, so as to specific based on the application such as system BW, maximum UE channel BW Mechanism.

Specifically, at least scheduled with frequency domain resource in the FeMTC UE for supporting larger BW for the second solution When more than six PRB are used for PDSCH and/or PUSCH, the FH based on k-NB can be used for these UE.In this solution, jump The granularity for crossing resource can be k continuous NB, and FH offset may be k continuous NB.It is allocated for passing when k is not less than It, can be to avoid any problem at the edge surrounding system BW when the number of defeated NB.

For third solution, whole frequency resources can be divided into floor (N_NB/ k) a part, wherein N_NBIt can be with The total number of NB in expression system.In this solution, the granularity for skipping resource can be k continuous NB, and FH is inclined Shifting can be any number of NB.The application of FH can be defined, to determine based on the first NB that distribution is used for transmission from initial The k NB jumped to is distributed, and FH rule can be defined, UE is made to select k-NB#j according to k-NB#i (for example, original allocation) (for example, with k continuously j-th of subregion of NB or segmentations).NB (NB_i+FH_offset) can be fallen into k-NB#j, wherein NB_i can be the first NB (or the last NB or NB that position is arbitrarily specifically designated) of k-NB#i.

Therefore, NB granularity configuration FH offset (FH_offset) can be used, and UE can be according to the reference NB into k-NB Whether will lead to using FH_offset and is transformed into different k-NB to determine to jump (or not jumping) to different k-NB.Quilt in k-NB The NB of distribution can be identical before and after FH.ENodeB scheduler can be set to ensure apply FH's Not to other UE distribution frequency domain resource (being at least allocated for the NB of transmission in k-NB#i) in subframe.Otherwise, larger in support The FeMTC UE of the frequency resource that will not effectively jump to different groups of BW in FH boundary can actually change their frequency There may be conflicts between other UE of rate position.Note that k can be set to be equal to or more than distribute the NB's being used for transmission Number.
