Description

DYNAMIC DIRECTION CHANGING IN TIME DIVISION DUPLEX RADIOS Cross-Reference to Related Application
[0001 ] This application claims priority to provisional application 61/589,774 filed January 23, 2012, which application is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
Background
[0002] This relates generally to time division duplex radio systems.
[0003] In time division duplex radio systems, a flexible deployment may not require a pair of spectrum resources. In general, interference between uplink and downlink directions may be considered when different uplink and downlink configurations are used among cells.
[0004] The current long term evolution standard, releases eight, nine and ten support asymmetric uplink and downlink allocations by providing seven different semi- statically configured uplink and downlink configurations. See Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Technical Specification (TS) 36.213a10 and 3GPP TS 36.21 1 a10. These configurations can provide downlink subframe allocations in the range of between 40 to 90 percent.
[0005] The current semi-static allocation may not match the instantaneous traffic situation. A current mechanism for adapting uplink and downlink allocation is based on the system information change procedure. With that mechanism, a minimum latency of about 640 milliseconds is used for reconfiguration. Therefore,
mechanisms that support dynamic allocation of uplink and downlink frames with lower latency would be desirable.

Detailed Description
[0007] In accordance with some embodiments in a time division duplex system, the transmission direction may be changed dynamically, for example in response to instantaneous traffic conditions. Particularly in some embodiments an eNodeB or base station may, in response to instantaneous traffic conditions, change the direction of transmission in certain subframes. In some embodiments this can be done in a way which is backwards compatible with prior generations of Long-Term Evolution (LTE) radio systems.
[0008] Referring to Figure 1 , an eNodeB 12 communications by an antenna 28 with a user equipment (UE) or mobile station 10 through its antenna 20. For example, the eNodeB may basically be a base station which communicates with user equipment or mobile stations such as cellular telephones within its range.
[0009] The eNodeB 12 includes a transceiver 22 for wireless communications pursuant to an appropriate standard such as the standards pertinent to Long-Term Evolution technology, a processor 24 and a memory 26 that stores data and instructions executed by the processor 24 in some embodiments. The user equipment 10 likewise may include a compatible radio transceiver 14 coupled to a processor 16 and a memory 18.
[0010] Referring to Figure 2, certain subframes within a frame transmitted pursuant to an LTE technology may be defined as flexible subframes that support dynamic uplink and downlink reallocation. The user equipment by default may assume the flexible subframe is a downlink subframe in one embodiment. Then the user equipment decodes the physical downlink control channel in the flexible subframes unless explicitly instructed to switch to uplink transmission by the eNodeB. Of course the opposite default direction could also be used in some embodiments.
[001 1 ] The flexible subframes may be transparent to previous generations of user equipment and the uplink and downlink configuration may be changed semi-statically using the system information block type 1 (SIB1 ) information bits. The eNodeB is responsible to properly schedule data transmissions to make sure the corresponding physical uplink shared channel resources (PUSCH) and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement (ACK) resources of the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) are still valid even when the time division duplex configuration is changed to implement dynamic transmission direction shifting.
[0012] When the dynamically configured transmission direction of the flexible subframes is different than the default configuration, as indicated by the system information block type 1 , the flexible subframes may not be used or scheduled for a previous generation user equipment. The eNodeB may dynamically configure the flexible subframes to match the uplink downlink configuration advantageous given the instantaneous traffic situation. The eNodeB also may assure that the flexible subframe with dynamically configured transmission directions can be efficiently utilized by user equipment while maintaining the proper hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback with predefined hybrid automatic repeat request timeline linked and corresponding to the configured uplink and downlink configurations.
[0013] According to some embodiments, an uplink and downlink reconfiguration indication mechanism informs the user equipment of the transmission direction for the flexible subframes in a timely fashion while reducing control overhead, satisfying the instantaneous traffic situation requirements and in some embodiments maintaining backward compatibility. [0014] Thus as shown in Figure 2, there are ten subframes indicated by subframe indices 0-9. Downlink subframes have indices 0, 5, and 6, while uplink subframes have indices 2 and flexible subframes may have indices 3, 4 and 7-9 in one embodiment. In order to change the direction of a flexible subframe, a paired non- flexible or conventional subframe may be used to provide the indication of intent to switch from a default direction to a new direction. Thus each flexible subframe in one embodiment may be paired with a non-flexible subframe which non-flexible subframe may be used to provide the indication of when to switch from the default direction.
[0015] Thus referring to Figure 3, the flexible subframes with indices 3 and 8 are paired with a conventional downlink subframes, namely subframes 4 and 9. More specifically, the flexible subframe 8 may be paired with the downlink subframe 4 and the flexible subframe 3 may be compared with the downlink subframe 9. Of course, any other pairings may also be used and the pairings shown in Figure 3 are for illustration purposes only. Thus for Long-Term Evolution, time division duplex frame structure type 2, two subframe pairings may be predefined for uplink and downlink configuration. For example, the two subframe pairs shown in Figure 3 may be defined as X0=9, Y0=3 for pair 1 and Xi=4,
Figure imgf000005_0001
for pair 2. The subframes 4 and 8 may be in the same radio frame N, while the subframe 9 in radio frame N may be paired with a subframe 3 and the next radio frame N+1 respectively.
[0016] One flexible frame structure may be defined for uplink and downlink configuration and that flexible subframe may be applicable to time division duplex. Subframes 0, 1 , 4, 5, 6, and 9, reserved and fixed for downlink transmission may be referred to as type 1 subframes, while subframes 2 and 7 may be reserved and fixed for uplink transmission and referred to as type 2 subframes, and a third type of subframe, the flexible subframe, is denoted as F and has a flexible transmission direction configured dynamically and referred to as type 3 subframes. Thus as one example, subframes 3 and 8 may be configured as flexible subframes. Then the supported uplink and downlink configurations are listed in Table 1 below where D denotes type 1 , U denotes type 2, and U* denotes type 3 subframes with the changed or uplink direction according to one embodiment. Subframe Backward Subframe number i DL configuration configuration Subframe through 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ratio SIB1

[0017] An exemplary flexible subframe with switchable transmission direction in time domain multiplexing is shown in Figure 4 in pattern A, which is the default, according to one embodiment, in the downlink direction and pattern B, which is the switched pattern based on instantaneous traffic patterns and is in the uplink direction. These two patterns may be used to support the switchable/configurable transmission direction for each flexible subframe.
[0018] In the default pattern A according to one embodiment, the downlink control and data regions have the same direction of transmission. However in pattern B the control region and the data region have different transmission directions. Switching from pattern A to pattern B causes a transmission direction switching in a subset of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols within the subframe. While certain OFDM symbols within the subframe remain the same, others switch. In one embodiment, the switching may involve only the data region symbols and not control region symbols. While two control OFDM symbols are depicted in Figure 4, one to three regions of OFDM control symbols may be used in other embodiments.
[0019] Thus the uplink transmission, namely from the user equipment to the eNodeB is restricted to a subset of OFDM symbols composed of the data region, while the control region remains the same and is used for transmission of physical downlink control channels with the cell-specific reference signals (CRS) contained in the first slot. Thus the pattern B may ensure that no direct impact on measurement accuracy results even when the flexible subframes are reconfigured for the uplink direction. This may be achieved, in one embodiment, by first switching the flexible subframes to Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) single frequency network
(MBMSFN) configuration. This means that the control region of OFDM symbols is always used for CRS transmissions and the data region is not used for CRS transmissions. This avoids the possibility that a user equipment that has not been informed of the committed direction change uses an incorrect assumption about the location of CRS information, and particularly assumes that it might be in the data region when in fact it is not.
[0020] The control regions are semi-statically reserved for downlink transmission through the system information block type 1 information message. Switching between pattern A and pattern B may be triggered when an uplink grant is detected in the corresponding subframe. The uplink grant is issued by the eNodeB to the user equipment in advance of the transition from pattern A to pattern B. The time division duplex configuration indicated through the system information block 1 may be set to be time division duplex frame configuration 2 in order to maximize the hybrid automatic repeat request timing reusing of physical downlink shared channel and physical uplink shared channel predefined for legacy user equipment. The flexible subframes are then dynamically reconfigured for downlink or uplink transmission by the eNodeB scheduler based on instantaneous traffic conditions.
[0021 ] Thus referring to Figure 5, a sequence 30 for implementing dynamic direction changes at the eNodeB may be implemented in software, firmware and/or hardware. In software and firmware embodiments it may be implemented by computer readable instructions stored in one or more non-transitory computer readable media such as magnetic, optical or semiconductor storages. For example, in a software or firmware embodiment, the storage may be in the memory 26 of the eNodeB 12 shown in Figure 1 . A hardware embodiment may be implemented in processor 24.
[0022] The sequence begins in one embodiment by setting the time division duplex (TDD) configuration to configuration 2 as indicated in block 32. Then the flexible subframe structure and pairings may be set in block 34. For example, a non-flexible subframe channel that is paired with the flexible subframe (that will have its direction changed) is set so that the signaling of the direction change may be implemented through the non-flexible symbols. In addition, the designation of which subframes will be flexible, which subframes will be downlink and which subframes will be uplink may be set at this point.
[0023] Then a first flexible subframe may be configured as an MBSFN subframe as indicated in block 36. This may be indicated by a higher keeper parameter mbsfn-SubframeConfigList before an indication signal is transmitted in a second subframe. Finally, the eNodeB issues the uplink (UL) grant (block 38) in the correct, paired second subframe to change the direction of the paired first flexible subframe. The uplink grant may be transmitted with the Downlink Control Information (DCI) format 0 or 4.
[0024] The reverse direction transition to downlink transmission happens
automatically in one embodiment. When no uplink grant is received, the system transitions automatically back to the default mode, in this embodiment, the downlink direction. However, the transition could also be signaled by the eNodeB issuing a downlink grant.
[0025] The corresponding operation of the user equipment for dynamic direction change, shown in Figure 6, may be implemented in software, firmware or hardware. In software and firmware embodiments it may be implemented by computer executed instructions stored in one or more non-transitory computer readable media such as magnetic, optical or semiconductor storages. In one embodiment using software or firmware, the instructions may be stored in the memory 18 of the user equipment 10 as shown in Figure 1 . In another embodiment, the sequence may be implemented in hardware in the processor 16 or in some other component.
[0026] The sequence 40 begins by detecting an uplink grant in the paired non- flexible subframe as indicated in diamond 42. In such case, the corresponding flexible subframe, paired with the non-flexible subframe, is changed to the uplink direction as indicated in block 44.
[0027] In some embodiments, there may be a time delay on the user equipment side inherent in making transmission direction changes dynamically. The user equipment needs to switch its radio frequency chain from receiving to transmission and may need to do some timing advance adjustments so that all uplink transmissions arrive at substantially the same time at eNodeB receiver. Thus the user equipment needs to take to make different uplink transmissions, depending on the distance between the eNodeB and the user equipment. Thus, a guard period, shown in Figure 4, may be provided between uplink transmission and downlink reception at the user equipment to accommodate the timing advance or switching delay. A data period follows the guard period for PUSCH transmission.
[0028] In some embodiments, the user equipment knows from the physical control format indicator (PCFICH) how many symbols will be used for downlink control versus downlink data. This may be signaled at the start of each downlink
transmission in some embodiments. Therefore the user equipment knows how many symbols will change direction.
[0029] Typically, the user equipment needs to make measurements about the radio link quality in order for there to be backward compatibility with prior generations. Then the user equipment reports the results of these measurements to the eNodeB. These measurements include things like the downlink reference signal and the common reference signal, commonly called the cell-specific reference signals (CRS) collectively. Thus, when the direction of transmission is changed, there may be some cases where the user equipment does not know about the change and assumes that the CRS transmitted in a data region is accurate. By switching to the MBSFN mode, all transmissions of control information including those
measurements are always done within the control region and since in some embodiments the direction of the control region never changes, no issues arise with respect to these measurements.
[0030] The following clauses and/or examples pertain to further embodiments:
One example embodiment may be a computer executed method comprising setting a first subframe to be switched between uplink and downlink transmission directions, pairing the first subframe with a second subframe that is not switchable between uplink and downlink transmission directions, and providing an indication signal in said second subframe to indicate a change of transmission direction of the first subframe.
