- eNB evolved-NodeB
- BTS base transceiver system
- access point have.
- a terminal usually belongs to one cell, and a cell to which the terminal belongs is called a serving cell.
- a base station providing a communication service to a serving cell is called a serving BS. Since the wireless communication system is a cellular system, there are other cells adjacent to the serving cell. Another cell adjacent to the serving cell is called a neighbor cell.
- a base station that provides communication services to neighbor cells is called a neighbor BS. The serving cell and the neighboring cell are relatively determined based on the terminal.

- FIG. 2 shows a structure of a radio frame in 3GPP LTE.
- a radio frame is composed of 10 subframes, and one subframe is composed of two slots. Slots in radio frames are numbered from # 0 to # 19.
- the transmission time interval (TTI) is the basic scheduling unit for data transmission. In 3GPP LTE, one TTI may be equal to the time it takes for one subframe to be transmitted.
- the length of one radio frame is 10 ms, the length of one subframe is 1 ms, and the length of one slot may be 0.5 ms.
- One slot includes a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in a time domain and includes a plurality of subcarriers in the frequency domain.
- the OFDM symbol is used to represent one symbol period because 3GPP LTE uses OFDMA in the downlink and may be called another name according to the multiple access scheme.
- SC-FDMA when SC-FDMA is used in an uplink multiple access scheme, it may be referred to as an SC-FDMA symbol.
- a resource block (RB) is a resource allocation unit and includes a plurality of consecutive subcarriers in one slot.
- the structure of the radio frame is merely an example. Therefore, the number of subframes included in a radio frame, the number of slots included in a subframe, or the number of OFDM symbols included in a slot can be variously changed.
- 3GPP LTE defines seven OFDM symbols in a normal cyclic prefix (CP), and one slot in an extended CP includes six OFDM symbols in a cyclic prefix (CP) .
- the wireless communication system can be roughly classified into a frequency division duplex (FDD) system and a time division duplex (TDD) system.
- FDD frequency division duplex
- TDD time division duplex
- uplink transmission and downlink transmission occupy different frequency bands.
- uplink transmission and downlink transmission occupy the same frequency band and are performed at different times.
- the channel response of the TDD scheme is substantially reciprocal. This is because the downlink channel response and the uplink channel response are almost the same in a given frequency domain. Therefore, in the TDD-based wireless communication system, the downlink channel response has an advantage that it can be obtained from the uplink channel response.
- the TDD scheme can not simultaneously perform downlink transmission by a base station and uplink transmission by a UE because the uplink transmission and the downlink transmission are time-divided in the entire frequency band.
- uplink transmission and downlink transmission are performed in different subframes.
- FIG 3 shows an example of a resource grid for one downlink slot.
- the downlink slot includes a plurality of OFDM symbols in the time domain and N RB resource blocks in the frequency domain.
- the number N RB of resource blocks included in the downlink slot depends on the downlink transmission bandwidth set in the cell. For example, in an LTE system, N RB may be any of 6 to 110.
- One resource block includes a plurality of subcarriers in the frequency domain.
- the structure of the uplink slot may be the same as the structure of the downlink slot.
- Each element on the resource grid is called a resource element.
- the resource element on the resource grid can be identified by an in-slot index pair (k, l).
- one resource block exemplarily includes 7 ⁇ 12 resource elements including 7 OFDM symbols in the time domain and 12 subcarriers in the frequency domain, but the number of OFDM symbols and the number of subcarriers in the resource block are But is not limited to.
- the number of OFDM symbols and the number of subcarriers can be changed variously according to the length of CP, frequency spacing, and the like. For example, the number of OFDM symbols in a normal CP is 7, and the number of OFDM symbols in an extended CP is 6.
- the number of subcarriers in one OFDM symbol can be selected from one of 128, 256, 512, 1024, 1536, and 2048.
- the downlink subframe includes two slots in the time domain, and each slot includes seven OFDM symbols in a normal CP.
- the maximum 3 OFDM symbols preceding the first slot in the subframe (up to 4 OFDM symbols for the 1.4 MHZ bandwidth) are control regions to which the control channels are allocated, and the remaining OFDM symbols are PDSCH (physical downlink shared channel) Is a data area to be allocated.
- PDSCH physical downlink shared channel
- the PDCCH includes a resource allocation and transmission format of a downlink-shared channel (DL-SCH), resource allocation information of an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH), paging information on a PCH, system information on a DL- Resource allocation of upper layer control messages such as responses, aggregation of transmission power control commands for individual UEs in any UE group, and activation of voice over internet protocol (VoIP).

- the CCE corresponds to nine resource element groups (REGs) each including four resource elements.
- QPSK quadrature phase shift keying
- the resource element occupied by the reference signal RS is not included in the REG and the total number of REGs in a given OFDM symbol can be determined depending on whether or not a cell specific RS (CRS) exists .
- CRS cell specific RS
- the format of the PDCCH and the number of bits of the possible PDCCH are determined according to the relationship between the number of CCEs and the coding rate provided by the CCEs.
- the number of CCEs used for transmission of a specific PDCCH can be determined by the base station according to channel conditions.
- a PDCCH for a UE having a good channel state can use only one CCE.
- the PDCCH for a terminal with bad channel conditions may require eight CCEs to obtain sufficient robustness.
- the transmission power of the PDCCH can be adjusted according to the channel condition. Table 1 shows a supported PDCCH format and the number of CCEs corresponding to each PDCCH format.
- PDCCH format Number of CCEs Number of resource-element groups Number of PDCCH bits 0 One 9 72 One 2 18 144 2 4 36 288 3 8 72 576
- the base station determines the PDCCH format according to the DCI to be transmitted to the UE, and attaches a CRC (cyclic redundancy check) to the control information.
- the CRC is scrambled or masked with a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) according to the owner or use of the PDCCH. If the PDCCH is for a particular UE, the UE's unique identifier, e.g., C-RNTI (cell-RNTI), can be scrambled into the CRC.

- a PUCCH for one UE is allocated as a resource block pair (RB pair) in a subframe.
- the resource blocks belonging to the resource block pair occupy different subcarriers in the first slot and the second slot.
- the frequency occupied by the resource blocks belonging to the resource block pair allocated to the PUCCH is changed based on the slot boundary. It is assumed that the RB pair allocated to the PUCCH is frequency-hopped at the slot boundary.
- the UE transmits the uplink control information through different subcarriers according to time, thereby obtaining a frequency diversity gain.
- m is a position index indicating the logical frequency domain position of the resource block pair allocated to the PUCCH in the subframe.
