- the base station allocates an uplink control channel based on the quality information of the downlink control channel, if the terminal fails to receive the downlink data due to channel reciprocity, the base station may fail to receive the ACK / NACK of the HARQ. The probability can also be high.
- format 1 is a format for transmitting a scheduling request
- format 2 is a format for transmitting ACK / NACK of HARQ
- format 3 is a format of scheduling request and HARQ. It can be set as a format for transmitting ACK / NACK.
- format 4 may be set as a format for transmitting CQI.
- Control channel 2 includes uplink control information having a periodic characteristic. This is to estimate an uplink channel for data transmission using a reference signal transmitted on control channel 2.
- Control channel 2 is transmitted in a partial band where the uplink channel quality is expected to be excellent when the base station can predict the uplink channel quality of the terminal. Therefore, it is possible to perform channel estimation for uplink data transmission in detail using a reference signal during control channel 2 transmission.
- uplink control information signal
- channel state information such as CQI, PMI, RI
- format 1 is set as a format for transmitting channel state information (CSI) such as CQI, PMI, and RI
- format 2 is channel state information and scheduling request. You can set the format for the transfer.
- format 3 may be set as a format for transmitting channel state information and ACK / NACK of HARQ
- format 4 may be set as a format for transmitting scheduling request and ACK / NACK of HARQ.
- FIG. 13 illustrates an example of differentially configuring a frequency hopping interval of resource region 1 according to an embodiment of the present specification.
- 14 illustrates an example of equally configuring a frequency hopping interval of resource region 1 according to an embodiment of the present specification.
- Resource region 1 is composed of a resource block.
- frequency hopping is performed in units of resource blocks within the same subframe.
- Resource region 1 aims to obtain a frequency diversity gain in transmitting a single signal. Therefore, it is necessary to perform frequency hopping in the same subframe so that frequency diversity can be obtained during signal transmission.
- hopping is performed in units of slots.
- the slot length may be n OFDM symbols.
- n may have a value of 1/2 ⁇ x as well as an integer such as 0.5, 0.25, and 0.125.
- x is an integer.
- the uplink control channel may consist of one OFDM symbol.
- the length of the slot in order to perform slot unit frequency hopping in a single subframe, the length of the slot must be shorter than the length of the OFDM symbol.
- the length of an OFDM symbol constituting a slot should be 1/2 ⁇ x due to the nature of FFT / IFFT.
- the frequency hopping intervals of all resources are set equally or differentially. As shown in FIG. 14, if the frequency hopping intervals of all resources are set to be the same, terminals allocated to the resource region 1 have an advantage of obtaining the same level of frequency diversity on average. On the other hand, if the frequency hopping interval of the resource is configured differentially (for example, PUCCH in the LTE system) as shown in FIG. Therefore, a resource having a maximum value of frequency diversity can be allocated to a terminal having a poor channel situation.
- the frequency hopping interval of the resource is configured differentially (for example, PUCCH in the LTE system) as shown in FIG. Therefore, a resource having a maximum value of frequency diversity can be allocated to a terminal having a poor channel situation.
- 15 shows an example of configuring a frequency hopping interval of resource region 2 according to an embodiment of the present specification.
- the resource region 2 is composed of partial bands, and the partial band is composed of resource blocks.
- frequency hopping is performed in units of resource blocks within the same subband.
- the partial band of the resource region 2 to which control channel 2 is allocated in the system may be in units of several tens of MHz. Therefore, the UE may set a partial band for transmitting the uplink control channel and perform frequency hopping in the partial band.
- Performing frequency hopping in the partial band has the advantage of obtaining frequency diversity, but also has the purpose of precisely performing the uplink channel estimation in the partial band.
- the frequency hopping of the resource region 2 may be performed in a slot unit, in a subframe unit, or in both a slot and subframe unit in a subframe.
- the resource region 2 Since the resource region 2 has a purpose for uplink channel estimation, it is necessary to shorten a subcarrier interval for transmitting an uplink reference signal.
- the frequency interval for performing hopping should be tight. Therefore, it is necessary to perform frequency hopping not only in the subframe but also in the subframe unit. 15 is an embodiment where frequency hopping is performed in both slots and subframes.
- the frequency hopping interval of all resources may be set equally or differentially. If the frequency hopping intervals of all resources are set to be the same, uplink channel estimation is easy because the reference signals are transmitted at equal intervals.
- the UEs allocated to the resource region 2 have an advantage of obtaining the same level of frequency diversity on average.
- the differential configuration of the frequency hopping interval (for example, PUCCH in LTE system) has the advantage that the maximum value of the frequency diversity that the terminal can obtain. Therefore, a resource having a maximum value of frequency diversity can be allocated to a terminal having a poor channel situation.
- the operation of the base station for resource allocation of control channel 2 is as follows.
- the base station transmits downlink channel information estimated by the terminal using the downlink reference signal
- the base station transmits a signal for allocating a partial band of the control channel 2 to the terminal using the downlink channel information.
- the base station transmits a full-band sounding reference signal (SRS) to the terminal and collects uplink control channel information. Thereafter, based on the collected information, a signal for subband allocation of control channel 2 is transmitted.
- SRS sounding reference signal
- the terminal may be allocated resource region 1 and resource region 2 simultaneously from the base station. For example, the UE may transmit a scheduling request and an ACK / NACK signal of HARQ on control channel 1 and transmit channel state information on control channel 2. In this case, the terminal is allocated control channel 1 to resource region 1 and control channel 2 to resource region 2 through device specific signaling.
- a sounding reference signal (SRS) whose primary purpose is uplink channel estimation may be set in both resource region 1 and resource region 2.
- uplink data can be transmitted in all subcarriers in which resource region 1 and resource region 2 are transmitted. Therefore, the SRS for uplink channel estimation needs to be transmitted in both resource region 1 and resource region 2.
- 16 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure for transmitting uplink control information according to an embodiment of the present specification.
- the first UL control information may correspond to uplink control information transmitted through control channel 1, but may be used in combination with control channel 1.
- the second UL control information may correspond to uplink control information transmitted through control channel 2 but may be used in combination with control channel 2.
- DL control information can be used interchangeably with a downlink channel.
- the first resource zone may correspond to resource zone 1, and the second resource zone may correspond to resource zone 2.
- the uplink channel may include an uplink control channel or an uplink data channel.
- the downlink channel may include a downlink control channel or a downlink data channel.
- step S1610 the terminal receives allocation information of the first resource region and the second resource region from the base station.
- step S1620 the terminal transmits the first UL control information through the first resource region to the base station.
- step S1630 the terminal transmits the second UL control information through the second resource region to the base station.
- Frequency hopping is performed in the first resource region in a first band which is both end bands of the entire band of the subframe. Alternatively, frequency hopping may be performed in the first resource region in a first band that is both ends of the entire band of the slot or the mini slot. Frequency hopping is performed in the second resource region in a second band which is a subband of the entire band of the subframe. Alternatively, frequency hopping may be performed in the second resource region in the second band, which is both ends of the entire band of the slot or the mini slot. That is, the second resource region is disposed in the band between the first resource region. When a random access resource exists, the random access resource may be disposed between the second resource regions. In this case, the entire band may correspond to the system band.
- the subframe may correspond to a self-contained frame. That is, in the subframe, a symbol for transmitting downlink (DL) control information, a symbol for transmitting data, and a symbol for transmitting first UL control information or second UL control information are arranged in a time division multiplex (TDM) scheme. .
- TDM time division multiplex
- the first UL control information is used when the quality of an uplink channel cannot be estimated using the DL control information. Accordingly, frequency hopping is performed in both end bands of the entire band of the subframe in the first resource region in which the first UL control information is transmitted, so as to obtain the maximum frequency diversity gain.
- the second UL control information is used when estimating the quality of the uplink channel using the DL control information. This is because the similarity between the uplink control channel and the downlink data channel according to the channel reciprocity characteristic by the self-contained frame is increased.
- the base station allocates a second resource region by roughly estimating the quality information of the uplink channel of the terminal, and views the uplink channel using a reference signal included in the second UL control information transmitted through the second resource region. It can be estimated in detail.
- data may be transmitted through an estimated uplink channel using the second UL control information.
- the second UL control information includes a reference signal used to estimate the uplink channel.
- a sounding reference signal used to estimate the uplink channel is transmitted in the first resource region and the second resource region. That is, the sounding reference signal is used to estimate the uplink channel regardless of the resource region.
- the uplink channel may be estimated using the reference signal included in the second UL control information, the transmission frequency of the sounding reference signal may be reduced.
- allocation information of the second resource region may be received using information on a downlink channel estimated using the DL control information.
- the first UL control information includes scheduling request information or ACK / NACK information of HARQ.
- the second UL control information includes ACK / NACK information of CSI or HARQ. Since CSI has a characteristic of being periodically transmitted, a reference signal of a resource block through which CSI is transmitted is used for estimating an uplink channel. To this end, frequency hopping is performed on a resource block in which CSI is transmitted in a partial band (second band).
- the frequency hopping interval of the first resource region is set equally or differentially. Also, the frequency hopping interval of the second resource region is equally or differentially set. If the frequency hopping interval is set equally, terminals allocated to resource region 1 or resource region 2 may obtain the same level of frequency diversity gain. If the frequency hopping interval is differentially set, a resource region 1 or resource region 2 having the largest frequency hopping interval (the largest frequency diversity gain) may be allocated to a terminal having a poor channel state.
- frequency hopping in the second band is performed in the slot or mini slot unit of the subframe, in the subframe unit, or in the slot unit and the subframe unit of the subframe. Can be performed.
- frequency hopping may be performed by narrowing the frequency interval as described above.
