Definitions
- the present invention relates to a terminal device and a retransmission control method.
- OFDMA Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access
- SCH Synchronization Channel
- BCH Broadcast Channel
- the terminal first secures synchronization with the base station by capturing the SCH. Thereafter, the terminal acquires parameters (eg, frequency bandwidth) unique to the base station by reading the BCH information (see Non-Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3).
- the terminal establishes communication with the base station by making a connection request to the base station after the acquisition of the parameters unique to the base station is completed.
- the base station transmits control information via a PDCCH (Physical ⁇ Downlink Control CHannel) as necessary to a terminal with which communication has been established.
- PDCCH Physical ⁇ Downlink Control CHannel
- the terminal performs “blind determination” for each of the plurality of control information included in the received PDCCH signal. That is, the control information includes a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) part, and this CRC part is masked by the terminal ID of the transmission target terminal in the base station. Therefore, the terminal cannot determine whether or not the received control information is control information destined for the own device until the CRC part of the received control information is demasked with the terminal ID of the own device. In this blind determination, if the CRC calculation is OK as a result of demasking, it is determined that the control information is addressed to the own device.
- CRC Cyclic Redundancy Check
- ARQ Automatic Repeat Request
- the terminal feeds back a response signal indicating an error detection result of downlink data to the base station.
- An uplink control channel such as PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) is used for feedback of this response signal (that is, ACK / NACK signal).
- PUCCH Physical Uplink Control Channel
- the control information transmitted from the base station includes resource allocation information including resource information allocated to the terminal by the base station.
- the PDCCH is used for transmitting the control information.
- This PDCCH is composed of one or a plurality of L1 / L2 CCHs (L1 / L2 Control Channel).
- Each L1 / L2CCH is composed of one or a plurality of CCEs (Control Channel Element). That is, CCE is a basic unit for mapping control information to PDCCH.
- one L1 / L2CCH is composed of a plurality of CCEs, a plurality of continuous CCEs are allocated to the L1 / L2CCH.
- the base station allocates L1 / L2 CCH to the resource allocation target terminal according to the number of CCEs required for reporting control information to the resource allocation target terminal. Then, the base station maps the physical resource corresponding to the CCE of this L1 / L2CCH and transmits control information.
- each CCE is associated with the PUCCH configuration resource on a one-to-one basis. Therefore, the terminal that has received the L1 / L2CCH specifies a PUCCH configuration resource corresponding to the CCE that configures the L1 / L2CCH, and transmits a response signal to the base station using this resource.
- the terminal may select one of a plurality of PUCCH configuration resources corresponding to the plurality of CCEs (for example, PUCCH corresponding to the CCE having the smallest Index). The response signal is transmitted to the base station using the configuration resource.
- downlink communication resources are efficiently used.
- a plurality of response signals transmitted from a plurality of terminals include a ZAC (Zero Auto-correlation) sequence having a Zero Auto-correlation characteristic on the time axis, a Walsh sequence, and a DFT ( Discrete Fourier Transform) sequence and code-multiplexed in PUCCH.
- ZAC Zero Auto-correlation
- W 1 , W 2 , W 3 represents a Walsh sequence with a sequence length of 4
- (F 0 , F 1 , F 2 ) represents a DFT sequence with a sequence length of 3.
- an ACK or NACK response signal is first-order spread to a frequency component corresponding to one SC-FDMA symbol by a ZAC sequence (sequence length 12) on the frequency axis.
- the response signal after the first spreading and the ZAC sequence as the reference signal are associated with the Walsh sequence (sequence length 4: W 0 to W 3 ) and the DFT sequence (sequence length 3: F 0 to F 3 ), respectively.
- the second-order spread signal is converted into a signal having a sequence length of 12 on the time axis by IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform).
- IFFT Inverse Fast Fourier Transform
- the orthogonal code sequence is a set of a Walsh sequence and a DFT sequence.
- the orthogonal code sequence may be referred to as a block-wise spreading code sequence. Therefore, the base station can separate these response signals that have been code-multiplexed by using conventional despreading and correlation processing (see Non-Patent Document 4).
- each terminal blindly determines the downlink allocation control signal addressed to itself in each subframe, reception of the downlink allocation control signal is not always successful on the terminal side.
- a terminal fails to receive a downlink assignment control signal addressed to itself in a certain downlink unit band, the terminal cannot even know whether downlink data addressed to itself exists in the downlink unit band. Therefore, if reception of a downlink assignment control signal in a certain downlink unit band fails, the terminal does not generate a response signal for downlink data in the downlink unit band.
- This error case is defined as DTX (DTX (Discontinuous transmission) of ACK / NACK signals) of the response signal in the sense that the response signal is not transmitted on the terminal side.
- LTE-A system 3GPP LTE-advanced system
- LTE system 3GPP LTE system
- the LTE- The band for the A system is divided into “unit bands” of 20 MHz or less, which is the support bandwidth of the LTE system. That is, the “unit band” is a band having a maximum width of 20 MHz, and is defined as a basic unit of the communication band. Furthermore, the “unit band” (hereinafter referred to as “downlink unit band”) in the downlink is a band delimited by downlink frequency band information in the BCH broadcast from the base station, or the downlink control channel (PDCCH) is a frequency.
- the “unit band” hereinafter referred to as “downlink unit band” in the downlink is a band delimited by downlink frequency band information in the BCH broadcast from the base station, or the downlink control channel (PDCCH) is a frequency.
- the “unit band” in the uplink is a band delimited by uplink frequency band information in the BCH broadcast from the base station, or a PUSCH (Physical-Uplink) near the center. It may be defined as a basic unit of a communication band of 20 MHz or less including a Shared (CHAnel) region and including PUCCH for LTE at both ends.
- the “unit band” may be expressed as “Component Carrier (s)” in English in 3GPP LTE-Advanced.
- the LTE-A system supports communication using a band obtained by bundling several unit bands, so-called Carrier Aggregation.
- Carrier Aggregation In general, an uplink throughput request and a downlink throughput request are different from each other. Therefore, in the LTE-A system, an arbitrary LTE-A system compatible terminal (hereinafter referred to as “LTE-A terminal”) is set.
- LTE-A terminal an arbitrary LTE-A system compatible terminal
- Carrier-aggregation the so-called Asymmetric carrier-aggregation, in which the number of unit bands to be transmitted differs between upstream and downstream, is also being studied. Furthermore, the case where the number of unit bands is asymmetric between upstream and downstream and the frequency bandwidth of each unit band is different is also supported.
- FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining an asymmetric carrier aggregation applied to individual terminals and its control sequence.
- FIG. 2 shows an example in which the uplink and downlink bandwidths and the number of unit bands of the base station are symmetric.
- terminal 1 is configured to perform carrier aggregation using two downlink unit bands and one uplink unit band on the left side. In spite of the setting that uses the same two downlink unit bands as those of the terminal 1, the setting that uses the right uplink unit band is performed in the uplink communication.
- Terminal 1 When attention is paid to the terminal 1, signals are transmitted and received between the LTE-A base station and the LTE-A terminal constituting the LTE-A system according to the sequence diagram shown in FIG. 2A.
- Terminal 1 synchronizes with the left downlink unit band at the start of communication with the base station, and sends information on the uplink unit band paired with the left downlink unit band to SIB2 Read from a notification signal called (System Information Block Type 2).
- SIB2 System Information Block Type 2
- the terminal 1 starts communication with the base station, for example, by transmitting a connection request to the base station.
- the base station instructs the terminal to add a downlink unit band.
- the number of uplink unit bands does not increase, and asymmetric carrier aggregation is started in terminal 1, which is an individual terminal.
- a terminal may receive a plurality of downlink data in a plurality of downlink unit bands at a time.
- Channel Selection also referred to as Multiplexing
- Channel-Selection not only symbols used for response signals but also resources for mapping response signals are changed according to the pattern of error detection results for a plurality of downlink data. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the Channel selection is based on whether the response signal for the plurality of downlink data received in the plurality of downlink unit bands is ACK or NACK, respectively (ie, Constellation point). This is a technique for changing not only the resources used for transmission of response signals but also non-patent documents 5 and 6.
- a unit band group (which may be expressed as “Component carrier set” in English) composed of downlink unit bands 1 and 2 and uplink unit band 1 is set for terminal 1.
- downlink resource allocation information is transmitted from the base station to the terminal 1 via the PDCCH of each of the downlink unit bands 1 and 2, downlink data is transmitted using resources corresponding to the downlink resource allocation information.
- a response signal is mapped to a PUCCH resource included in the PUCCH region 1, and a first phase point (for example, a phase point such as (1,0)) is used as a phase point of the response signal.
- a first phase point for example, a phase point such as (1,0)
- the response signal is mapped to the PUCCH resource included in PUCCH region 2, and A first phase point is used. That is, when there are two downlink unit bands, there are four patterns of error detection results, and therefore, these four patterns can be represented by a combination of two resources and two types of phase points.
- the base station side secures a plurality of PUCCH resources for any terminal. I have to leave.
- the downlink unit band 1 and the uplink unit band 1 in FIG. 3 are associated with each other to form a band pair, and the downlink unit band 2 and the uplink unit band 2 are associated with each other to form a band pair. Therefore, it suffices if a PUCCH corresponding to the downlink unit band 2 is prepared only for the uplink unit band 2.
- the downlink unit band 2 and the uplink unit band 1 are associated with the unit band unique to the LTE-A terminal. Therefore, it is necessary to secure the PUCCH resource for the response signal for the downlink unit band 2 even in the uplink unit band 1. That is, the uplink control channel (PUCCH) of the uplink unit band 1 needs to be provided with an additional region (PUCCH region 2) in addition to the basic region (PUCCH region 1).
- An object of the present invention is to avoid degradation of response signal transmission characteristics and to perform uplink control when ARQ is applied in communication using an uplink unit band and a plurality of downlink unit bands associated with the uplink unit band. To provide a terminal device and a retransmission control method capable of minimizing an increase in channel overhead.

That is, as in Embodiments 1 and 2, the control unit 409 performs basic processing according to the “reception status pattern” defined by the reception success / failure of a plurality of downlink assignment control signals and the error detection results regarding a plurality of downlink data. Which of the PUCCH resource and the additional PUCCH resource is used for transmission of the response signal is determined.
- control unit 409 selects a PUCCH resource based on the operation of Channel Selection even when communication not based on Carrier aggregation is applied to downlink data. Further, the control unit 409 determines which phase point is set in the response signal based on the reception status pattern.
- base station 300 and terminal 400 The operation of base station 300 and terminal 400 having the above configuration will be described.
- 11 and 12 are diagrams for explaining the operation of the base station 300 and the terminal 400.
- control section 301 sets the multiplicity of PUCCH signals independently in each PUCCH region (that is, PUCCH region a and PUCCH region b).
- 18 PUCCH resources # 1 to 18 are defined per unit time frequency resource in the PUCCH region a (that is, a region including a PUCCH resource group associated with the CCE of the priority downlink unit band). ing.
- 36 PUCCH resources # 1 to 36 are defined per unit time frequency resource.
- PUCCH resource 1 for terminal 400 is included in PUCCH region a
- PUCCH resource 2 for terminal 400 is included in PUCCH region b.
- the base station 300 sets the multiplicity per unit time frequency resource independently for each PUCCH region as in the first and second embodiments. Further, the PUCCH resources in the PUCCH region a are associated with the CCEs in the priority downlink unit band on a one-to-one basis, and information regarding this association is shared between the base station 300 and the terminal 400 in advance.
- Base station 300 determines whether to transmit downlink data to terminal 400 every time unit called a subframe. Further, when downlink data is transmitted to terminal 400 in a certain subframe, base station 300 also determines how many downlink unit bands are used (allocated). That is, in a certain subframe, when base station 300 allocates two downlink unit bands for transmitting downlink data to terminal 400, base station 300 sets “priority downlink unit” set in terminal 400. Downlink data is transmitted using both downlink unit bands other than “band” and “priority downlink unit band”. On the other hand, when one downlink unit band is allocated in a certain subframe, base station 300 transmits downlink data using only the “priority downlink unit band” set in terminal 400. However, when there is no downlink data to be transmitted from base station 300 to terminal 400 in a certain subframe, base station 300 does not transmit downlink data in any downlink unit band.
- Terminal 400 identifies a priority downlink unit band based on information previously notified from base station 300.
- the notification information regarding this priority downlink unit band is transmitted on the data channel. Therefore, the control unit 409 acquires information regarding the priority downlink unit band from the reception data received via the CRC unit 212.
- the determination unit 208 determines whether or not downlink allocation control information addressed to itself is included in the downlink control channel of each downlink unit band, and outputs the downlink allocation control information addressed to itself to the extraction unit 204.
- the extraction unit 204 extracts downlink data from the received signal based on the downlink allocation control information received from the determination unit 208.
- terminal 400 can receive downlink data transmitted from base station 300.
- the downlink allocation control information transmitted in downlink unit band 1 includes information on resources used for transmission of downlink data (DL data) transmitted in downlink unit band 1.
- the downlink allocation control information transmitted in the downlink unit band 2 includes information on resources used for transmission of downlink data transmitted in the downlink unit band 2.
- the terminal 400 receives the downlink allocation control information transmitted in the downlink unit band 1 and the downlink allocation control information transmitted in the downlink unit band 2, so that the terminal 400 downloads in both the downlink unit band 1 and the downlink unit band 2.
- Line data can be received.
- the terminal 400 cannot receive downlink allocation control information in a certain downlink unit band, terminal 400 cannot receive downlink data in the downlink unit band.
- CRC section 212 performs error detection on downlink data corresponding to downlink allocation control information that has been successfully received, and outputs an error detection result to control section 409.
- control part 409 performs transmission control of a response signal as follows based on the reception success or failure of the downlink allocation control signal in each downlink unit band and the error detection result received from the CRC part 212.
- the control unit 409 has both error detection results related to downlink data transmitted in the priority downlink unit band and error detection results related to downlink data transmitted in other than the priority downlink unit band.
- the response signal is transmitted using PUCCH resource 1 (that is, the resource of PUCCH region a).
- PUCCH resource 1 is determined in association with the CCE occupied by the downlink allocation control information transmitted to terminal 400 in the priority downlink unit band.
- control unit 409 when the error detection result regarding the downlink data transmitted in the priority downlink unit band is “no error” and the downlink allocation control information is not detected in any other than the priority downlink unit band (that is, ACK / DTX), a response signal is transmitted using PUCCH resource 1 (that is, a resource of PUCCH region a).
- PUCCH resource 1 that is, a resource of PUCCH region a.
- the control unit 409 does not detect downlink allocation control information in the priority downlink unit band, and the error detection result regarding downlink data transmitted in other than the priority downlink unit band is “no error”
- a fourth phase point is set for PUCCH resource 2 (that is, the resource of PUCCH region b), and a response signal is transmitted.
- control unit 409 indicates that the error detection result regarding downlink data transmitted in the priority downlink unit band is “error present” and the error detection result regarding downlink data transmitted other than the priority downlink unit band is Even in the case of “no error” (that is, in the case of NACK / ACK), the fourth phase point is set for the PUCCH resource 2 (that is, the resource in the PUCCH region b), and the response signal is transmitted.
- the control unit 409 does not detect downlink allocation control information in the priority downlink unit band, and the error detection result regarding downlink data transmitted in other than the priority downlink unit band is “with error” (that is, In the case of DTX / NACK), the fifth phase point is set for PUCCH resource 2 (that is, the resource of PUCCH region b), and a response signal is transmitted.
- one or a plurality of reception status patterns are associated with each of the three phase points of the PUCCH resource 1 and the two phase points of the PUCCH resource 2. Therefore, three phase points of QPSK phase points are used in PUCCH resource 1, and two phase points of BPSK are used in PUCCH resource 2.
- the proportion of time (ie, the proportion of subframes) at which the base station 300 has to transmit downlink data to the terminal 400 using Carrier aggregation is not large. This is because, when the number of terminals communicating with the base station 300 is sufficiently large, it is difficult for only a part of the terminals to continuously occupy a plurality of downlink unit bands.
- the frequency of detecting downlink allocation control information in downlink unit bands other than the priority downlink unit band is also reduced. That is, terminal 400 has more opportunities to feed back “DTX” to downlink unit bands other than the priority downlink unit band.
- the base station 300 sets the downlink data so that the assumed error rate (Target Block Error Rate: Target BLER) of the downlink data is about 0% to 30%.
- Control coding rate and modulation scheme Therefore, when downlink allocation control information corresponding to downlink data on the terminal 300 side is detected, there is a higher possibility that the response signal for the downlink data is “ACK”.
- the base station controls the coding rate and modulation scheme of downlink allocation control information so that the assumed error rate of downlink allocation control information is about 0% to 1%. Therefore, when base station 300 actually transmits downlink allocation control information, the probability that terminal 400 fails to receive downlink allocation control information is very low.
- the probability of the state that the response signal can take for the priority downlink unit band is:
- the probability of the state that the response signal can take in the downlink unit bands other than the priority downlink unit band is the magnitude relationship represented by the following formula (2).
- the states of the eight response signals recognized on the terminal 400 side excluding DTX / DTX (that is, A / A, A / N, A / D, N / N, N / D, D / A, N / A, D / N) having the highest occurrence probability is A / D (that is, downlink data transmitted in the priority downlink unit band (downlink unit band 1) among the plurality of downlink unit bands 1 and 2).
- No downlink allocation control information corresponding to the downlink data in the downlink unit band (downlink unit band 2) other than the priority downlink unit band is detected (that is, the downlink data in the downlink unit band 2 is not detected). (Not sent)).
- the one with the lowest occurrence probability is D / N (that is, the downlink allocation control information corresponding to the downlink data in the priority downlink unit band (downlink unit band 1) is not detected, and other than the priority downlink unit band The downlink allocation control information in the downlink unit band (downlink unit band 2) is detected, but an error is detected in the corresponding downlink data (pattern candidate).
- the base station 300 transmits downlink data via the downlink unit band 2 only when performing communication using Carrier aggregation, so that the states of “D / A” and “D / N” are, in other words, the base station Although terminal 300 has transmitted downlink data (and corresponding downlink allocation control information) in downlink unit bands 1 and 2, terminal 300 has failed to receive downlink allocation control information corresponding to downlink unit band 1. It is for expressing.
- downlink allocation control information corresponding to downlink data is detected in the priority downlink unit band, no error is detected in the downlink data, and downlink data is supported in downlink unit bands other than the priority downlink unit band. If no downlink allocation control information to be detected is detected, a bundle response signal (that is, used by the operation of Channel Selection) is used using the PUCCH resource 1 in the PUCCH region a associated with the downlink control channel of the priority downlink unit band. The response signal with the determined resource and phase point) is transmitted. In addition, downlink allocation control information corresponding to downlink data is not detected in the priority downlink unit band, and downlink allocation control information corresponding to downlink data is detected in a unit band other than the priority downlink unit band and downlink.
- a bundle response signal is transmitted using the PUCCH resource 2 in the PUCCH region b.
- region b is utilized can be restrained low. Even if the multiplicity of the unit time frequency resource included in the PUCCH region b is increased in order to minimize an increase in overhead due to the PUCCH region b, the frequency with which the bundle response signal is mapped to the PUCCH region b is suppressed. Therefore, an increase in intersymbol interference is also suppressed. In this way, it is possible to avoid degradation of the response signal transmission characteristics and to minimize an increase in the overhead of the uplink control channel.
- the PUCCH region that is, the PUCCH region b
- the PUCCH region a that is secured in association with the control channel (that is, the CCE resource) of the priority downlink unit band.
- the code resulting from the increase in the maximum number of code multiplexes can be reduced by reducing the probability that the PUCCH resource 2 is used even if the maximum code multiplexable number is increased to significantly reduce the number of time-frequency resources occupied by Can reduce the effect of interference. Note that, as described above, reducing the probability that PUCCH resource 2 is used controls channel selection using PUCCH resource 1 in the case of ACK / DTX and PUCCH resource 2 in the case of DTX / NACK. This is realized.
- a state with a relatively high occurrence probability such as ACK / ACK or NACK / DTX is mapped to PUCCH resource 1
- a state with a relatively low occurrence probability such as NACK / ACK or DTX / ACK is mapped to PUCCH resource 2.
- ACK / * is the PUCCH resource 1 (PUCCH region b associated with the priority downlink unit band)
- * / DTX is the PUCCH resource 1
- DTX / * is the PUCCH resource.
- QPSK symbol points are used for PUCCH resource 1
- BPSK symbol points are used for PUCCH resource 2.
- the accuracy of the channel determination state determination when the PUCCH resource 2 is used is unlikely to deteriorate. Therefore, even if the maximum code multiplexing possible number is increased in order to reduce the overhead of the PUCCH region b, the adverse effect on the system is further reduced.
- control section 409 does not detect an error in downlink data transmitted in the priority downlink unit band, and assigns downlink in downlink unit bands other than the priority downlink unit band.
- the bundle response signal that is, the use resource and the phase is determined by the operation of ChannelionSelection
- a bundle response signal is transmitted using the PUCCH resource 2 in the PUCCH region b. To send.
- the frequency with which the bundle response signal is mapped to the PUCCH region b can be made smaller than that of the PUCCH region a. Since the frequency with which the bundle response signal is mapped to the PUCCH region b can be reduced, the increase in the multiplicity of the PUCCH region b can be prevented while increasing the intersymbol interference, thereby increasing the overhead due to the PUCCH region b. Can be minimized.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and the PUCCH resource 2 is defined in association with the CCE occupied by the downlink allocation control information transmitted in a band other than the priority downlink unit band, similarly to the PUCCH resource 1. May be. That is, signaling for Implicit PUCCH resource 2 may be applied. By doing so, the signaling overhead related to the PUCCH resource 2 can be reduced.
- the priority downlink unit A plurality of CCEs (for example, consecutive m CCEs) in downlink unit bands other than the band may be associated with one PUCCH resource 2 in the PUCCH region b. By doing so, the total number of PUCCH resources 2 to be defined in the PUCCH region b of the uplink control channel is reduced to the number of CCEs / m, so that the PUCCH overhead is further reduced.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and part or all of the PUCCH region a and the PUCCH region b may overlap.
- the base station controls the PUCCH resource 1 and the PUCCH resource 2 that a certain terminal should recognize in a certain subframe.
- the base station 300 prepares the PUCCH region a and the PUCCH region b in an overlapping manner, the PUCCH overhead in this system is reduced to the same level as in the LTE system.
- sequences that can be separated from each other by different cyclic shift amounts other than the ZAC sequence may be used for the first spreading.
- GCL Generalized Chirp like
- CAZAC Constant Amplitude Zero Auto Correlation
- ZC Zero Auto Correlation
- PN sequence such as M sequence and orthogonal gold code sequence
- time randomly generated by a computer A sequence having a sharp autocorrelation characteristic on the axis may be used for the first spreading.

- base sequence in the sense of a sequence to be subjected to cyclic shift and a cyclic shift amount (Cyclic shift index).
- any sequence may be used as the orthogonal code sequence as long as the sequences are orthogonal to each other or sequences that can be regarded as being substantially orthogonal to each other.
- a Walsh sequence or a Fourier sequence can be used for quadratic spreading as an orthogonal code sequence.
- the response signal resource (for example, PUCCH resource) is defined by the cyclic shift amount of the ZAC sequence and the sequence number of the orthogonal code sequence.
- the priority downlink unit band is always used, but the present embodiment is not limited to this. That is, the frequency at which the base station 300 uses the priority downlink unit band when performing communication not based on Carrier-aggregation is sufficiently higher than the frequency at which the base station 300 uses downlink unit bands other than the priority downlink unit band when performing communication not based on Carrier-aggregation. If it is larger, the above formulas (1) and (2) are established, and therefore the effects described in the present embodiment can be obtained.
- the terminal transmits a bundle response signal according to the following response signal transmission rule.
- reception status pattern candidates defined by the reception success / failure of a plurality of downlink assignment control signals and error detection results regarding a plurality of downlink data in the terminal are associated with pairs of PUCCCH resources and phase points. It has been.

- 2 is associated with resources in the PUCCH region.
- the resource of the first PUCCH region is a resource associated with the downlink control channel of the basic unit band in the first and second embodiments, and is associated with the downlink control channel of the priority downlink unit band in the third embodiment. Resource.
- the frequency with which the bundle response signal is mapped to the second PUCCH region can be made smaller than that of the first PUCCH region. Since the frequency with which the bundle response signal is mapped to the second PUCCH region can be reduced, the second PUCCH can be increased by increasing the multiplicity of the second PUCCH region while preventing an increase in intersymbol interference. An increase in overhead due to the area can be minimized.
- Embodiments 1 to 3 attention is paid to the fact that the terminal side is unlikely to fail to receive downlink allocation control information and downlink data.
- the base station further Focusing on the fact that the frequency of carrier aggregation communication is low, the resource use probability of the PUCCH region 1 (or a) is increased as much as possible, and the resource usage frequency of 2 (or b) with a good PUCCH amount can be achieved. Only lowered.
- the same effect can be obtained by mapping that suppresses the difference between the resource use probability of the PUCCH region 1 (or a) and the resource use probability of the PUCCH region 2 (or b) to several times.
- Embodiment 3 will be described as an example.
- the resource of the PUCCH region a and the resource of the PUCCH region b Mapping that keeps the difference in frequency of use within several times is also useful. That is, under the condition that the ACK / DTX having the highest probability of occurrence among the reception status patterns is mapped to the resource of the PUCCH region a, the balance of the difference in the usage frequency of the PUCCH region is optimized while considering various factors Thus, the application of mapping other reception status patterns to any of a plurality of PUCCH regions is possible. It is also applicable to the first and second embodiments that it is useful to optimize the usage frequency balance between the PUCCH regions.
- the maximum code multiplexing possible number in the unit time frequency resource is independently determined for the basic region including the basic PUCCH resource and the additional region including the additional PUCCH resource, and The case has been described where the maximum number of codes that can be multiplexed in the basic area is smaller than that in the additional area. That is, the number of boxes (that is, PUCCH resources) in which PUCCH signals can be placed is more prepared in the unit time frequency resource in the additional region than in the unit time frequency resource in the basic region.

That is, the PUCCH resource is notified to Implicit.
- the resource number to be used from the base station to the terminal is explicitly notified to the PUCCH resource in the additional area.

That is, in the additional area, the base station can allocate all PUCCH resources to different terminals, while in the basic area, one downlink data is used even though one L1 / L2 CCH occupies a plurality of CCEs. This is because some of the CCEs are unused. This situation becomes more prominent when the CCE is used not only for transmission of downlink allocation control information but also for transmission of uplink allocation control information for notifying uplink resources to be used for uplink data from the terminal. .

Abstract
Description
[通信システムの概要]
後述する基地局100及び端末200を含む通信システムでは、上り単位バンド及び上り単位バンドと対応づけられた複数の下り単位バンドを使用した通信、つまり、端末200独自の非対称Carrier aggregationによる通信が行われる。また、この通信システムには、端末200と異なり、Carrier aggregationによる通信を行う能力が無く、1つの下り単位バンドとこれに対応づけられた1つの上り単位バンドによる通信(つまり、Carrier aggregationによらない通信)を行う端末も含まれている。
図4は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る基地局100の構成を示すブロック図である。図4において、基地局100は、制御部101と、制御情報生成部102と、符号化部103と、変調部104と、報知信号生成部105と、符号化部106と、データ送信制御部107と、変調部108と、マッピング部109と、IFFT部110と、CP付加部111と、無線送信部112と、無線受信部113と、CP除去部114と、PUCCH抽出部115と、逆拡散部116と、系列制御部117と、相関処理部118と、判定部119と、再送制御信号生成部120とを有する。
図5は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る端末200の構成を示すブロック図である。図5において、端末200は、無線受信部201と、CP除去部202と、FFT部203と、抽出部204と、報知信号受信部205と、復調部206と、復号部207と、判定部208と、制御部209と、復調部210と、復号部211と、CRC部212と、応答信号生成部213と、変調部214と、1次拡散部215と、2次拡散部216と、IFFT部217と、CP付加部218と、無線送信部219とを有する。
以上の構成を有する基地局100及び端末200の動作について説明する。図6及び図7は、基地局100及び端末200の動作説明に供する図である。
基地局100において、制御部101は、PUCCH信号の多重度を、各PUCCH領域で独立に設定する。
端末200では、報知信号受信部205が、端末200に通知された単位バンドグループを構成する上り単位バンドに関する情報を報知するBCHが送信される下り単位バンドを基本単位バンドとして特定する。
CRC部212は、受信に成功した下り割当制御情報に対応する下り回線データについて誤り検出を行い、誤り検出結果を制御部209へ出力する。
実施の形態1では、端末が応答信号を生成する際に、下り回線データに関して受信失敗した場合と、下り割当制御信号の受信に失敗した場合とは、同様に扱われるものとして説明した。実施の形態2では、端末が応答信号を生成する際に、下り回線データに関して受信失敗した場合と下り割当制御信号の受信に失敗した場合とは区別される。これにより、実施の形態2では、基地局側で、端末が各単位バンドの下り回線データの受信に失敗したのか、下り割当制御信号の受信に失敗したのかを区別できるため、より効果的な再送制御が可能となる。
実施の形態1及び2では、基地局が端末に対してある下り単位バンドにおいて下り回線データを送信したか否かに関する情報(すなわち、DAI)を下り割当制御情報に含んで送信するとしたが、実施の形態3では、基地局がDAIを送信しない点において実施の形態1及び2と相違する。
後述する基地局300及び端末400を含む通信システムでは、上り単位バンド及び上り単位バンドと対応づけられた複数の下り単位バンドを使用した通信、つまり、端末400独自の非対称Carrier aggregationによる通信が行われる。また、実施の形態1及び2と同様、この通信システムには、端末400と異なり、Carrier aggregationによる通信を行う能力が無く、1つの下り単位バンドとこれに対応づけられた1つの上り単位バンドによる通信(つまり、Carrier aggregationによらない通信)を行う端末も含まれている。
図9に示す、基地局300の制御部301は、実施の形態1及び2と同様に、リソース割当対象端末400に対して、制御情報を送信するための下りリソース(つまり、下り制御情報割当リソース)、及び、当該制御情報に含まれる、下り回線データを送信するための下りリソース(つまり、下りデータ割当リソース)を割り当てる(Assignする)。
図10における、端末400の制御部409は、判定部208から受け取るCCE識別情報の示すCCEに対応するPUCCHリソース(周波数・符号)を特定する。すなわち、制御部409は、実施の形態1及び2と同様に、CCE識別情報に基づいて、上り制御チャネルの基本領域内のPUCCHリソース(つまり、「基本PUCCHリソース」)を特定する。ただし、制御部409は、基地局300から端末400宛てに通知された、Channel selection向けの追加領域内のPUCCHリソース(つまり、「追加PUCCHリソース」)に関する情報を予め保持している。
以上の構成を有する基地局300及び端末400の動作について説明する。図11及び図12は、基地局300及び端末400の動作説明に供する図である。
基地局300において、制御部301は、PUCCH信号の多重度を、各PUCCH領域(すなわち、PUCCH領域a及びPUCCH領域b)で独立に設定する。
基地局300は、端末400に対して、サブフレームと呼ばれる時間単位毎に下り回線データを送信するかどうかを決定する。また、基地局300があるサブフレームで端末400に対して下り回線データを送信する場合には、幾つの下り単位バンドを使用するか(割当てるか)も決定する。すなわち、或るサブフレームにおいて、基地局300が端末400に対して、下り回線データを送信するために2つの下り単位バンドを割当てる場合、基地局300は端末400に設定されている「優先下り単位バンド」と「優先下り単位バンド」以外の下り単位バンドの両方を用いて下り回線データを送信する。一方、或るサブフレームにおいて下り単位バンドを1つ割当てる場合、基地局300は端末400に設定されている「優先下り単位バンド」のみを利用して下り回線データを送信する。ただし、或るサブフレームにおいて、基地局300から端末400に送信すべき下り回線データが存在しない場合には、基地局300はいずれの下り単位バンドにおいても下り回線データを送信しない。
端末400は、予め基地局300から通知された情報に基づいて、優先下り単位バンドを特定する。この優先下り単位バンドに関する通知情報は、データチャネルで送信される。従って、制御部409は、CRC部212を介して受け取る受信データから優先下り単位バンドに関する情報を取得する。
CRC部212は、受信に成功した下り割当制御情報に対応する下り回線データについて誤り検出を行い、誤り検出結果を制御部409へ出力する。
ACKとなる確率>NACKとなる確率>DTXとなる確率・・・(1)
DTXとなる確率>ACKとなる確率>NACKとなる確率・・・(2)
(1)実施の形態1乃至3では、下り割当制御情報及び下り回線データの受信を端末側で失敗する可能性が低いことに着眼し、実施の形態3では、さらに、基地局が端末に対してCarrier aggregationによる通信を行う頻度が低いことに着眼して、PUCCH領域1(又はa)のリソースの使用確率を出来るだけ高くすると共に、PUCCH量良い2(又はb)のリソースの使用頻度を出来るだけ低くした。しかしながら、PUCCH領域1(又はa)のリソースの使用確率とPUCCH領域2(又はb)のリソースの使用確率の差を数倍程度に抑えるマッピングによっても、同様の効果を得ることができる。
(a)基本領域内のPUCCHリソースが基本単位バンドのCCEと1対1に関連付けられており、「端末が受信した下り割当制御情報」が占有するCCE番号からPUCCH使用リソースが決定される。つまり、PUCCHリソースが、Implicitに通知されている。
(b)追加領域内のPUCCHリソースに対しては基地局から端末へ使用すべきリソース番号が明示的(Explicit)に通知される。
