Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method for transmitting feedback information, a related device, and a communication system.
- the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system supports two types of duplex modes: Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) and Time Division Duplexing (TDD).
- FDD Frequency Division Duplexing
- TDD Time Division Duplexing
- the FDD means that the uplink and downlink transmissions are performed on different carrier frequency bands, and both the terminal device and the access network device allow simultaneous reception and transmission of signals.
- TDD means that uplink and downlink transmissions are performed on the same carrier frequency band, and the terminal equipment/access network equipment performs transmission/reception or reception/transmission of channels at different times.
- HARQ Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request
- the feedback information of the terminal equipment to a downlink carrier includes an acknowledgement (English: Acknowledgement, ACK) and a non-acknowledgement (NACK). .
- the subframe interval between the subframe in which the terminal device receives the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) and the uplink subframe in which the terminal device feeds back the ACK or NACK corresponding to the PDSCH is Pre-defined, thus guaranteeing the feedback of the terminal device to ACK or NACK and the reception of the ACK or NACK by the access network device.
- PDSCH Physical Downlink Shared Channel
- the terminal device After receiving the downlink data carried by the PDSCH in the downlink subframe n-4, the terminal device feeds back the ACK or NACK corresponding to the PDSCH in the uplink subframe n.
- the uplink and downlink configurations of the radio frame are fixed.
- LTE currently supports 7 different TDD uplink and downlink configurations.
- D is a downlink subframe (English: Downlink Subframe)
- S is a special subframe (English: Special Subrame, SSF)
- U is an uplink subframe (English: Uplink Subframe).
- the timing relationship or timing relationship between the PDSCH and its corresponding ACK or NACK is as shown in FIG. 1B.
- the subframe of the standard number is the uplink subframe n for feeding back ACK or NACK, and the number of the identifier indicates that feedback is needed in the uplink subframe n.
- the PDSCH in the downlink subframe set of nk (k belongs to K)
- the ACK or NACK corresponding to the PDSCH in the frame specifically n-7 is the downlink subframe 5, and n-6 is the downlink subframe 6.
- the spectrum deployed by the serving cell of the existing LTE system is the licensed spectrum, that is, it can only be used by the carrier network that purchased the licensed spectrum.
- Unattended spectrum also known as unlicensed spectrum
- unlicensed spectrum is gaining increasing attention because unlicensed spectrum does not require purchase and can be used by any operator.
- spectrum resources which limits the service capabilities of LTE systems based on licensed spectrum. Therefore, the LTE system uses an unlicensed spectrum as an evolution direction, and an LTE system deployed on an unlicensed spectrum is called an Unlicensed-LTE (U-LTE) system.
- U-LTE Unlicensed-LTE
- Resource sharing on the unlicensed spectrum refers to restrictions on the use of specific spectrum, such as emission power, out-of-band leakage, and some additional coexistence strategies.
- multi-system friendly coexistence on unlicensed spectrum such as between U-LTE and Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) systems, or between multi-operator U-LTE systems, when using unlicensed spectrum
- some coexistence regulations such as sending and detecting (English: Listen-Before-Talk, LBT).
- the access network device or the terminal device needs to perform an idle channel assessment (CCA) on the channel where the serving cell is located.
- CCA idle channel assessment
- the access network device or the terminal device cannot temporarily transmit a signal on the channel. Until the channel is found to be idle, the access network device or the terminal device can send a signal on the channel, and even in some cases, the access network device or the terminal device needs to perform a random backoff, only in the random backoff.
- the channel is idle only during the time before the signal can be sent on the channel. Based on this, it can be known that for the LTE system, whether it is an access network device that transmits downlink data or a terminal device that transmits uplink data, data transmission on the unlicensed spectrum is opportunistic. In addition, on the basis of the unlicensed spectrum opportunistic data transmission, the uplink and downlink configuration of the U-LTE system on the unlicensed spectrum can be flexible in order to adapt to the uplink and downlink service requirements of the LTE system.
- the timing relationship between the predefined PDSCH and the HARQ-ACK in the prior art is difficult to guarantee on the unlicensed spectrum.
- the CCA mechanism it is impossible to guarantee that the uplink device can compete for unlicensed spectrum resources in the uplink subframe determined under the predefined timing relationship;
- the flexible uplink and downlink configuration for example, for the FDD system, the U-LTE system cannot guarantee that the subframe corresponding to the fixed four subframe intervals after the start boundary of the subframe of one downlink subframe is the uplink subframe;
- the U-LTE system cannot use the existing U-LTE system.

For example, taking the Internet telephony service as an example, if the service has a higher priority, the general MCOT can be 2 ms. Therefore, after the base station competes for the unlicensed spectrum resource, the base station can occupy 2 milliseconds continuously; for example, the data transmission service has a lower priority, and generally can occupy 8 or 10 milliseconds continuously.

- the base station can stop transmitting data for a period of time (corresponding to the idle time unit in FIG. 4B) at any time position from the start to the end of the DL Burst, so that other devices in the same system can be connected to the base station.

- a burst of time based on a specific time delay (eg, based on a 4 ms time delay)
- data transmission by the terminal device from the first uplink subframe that can be scheduled to the last uplink subframe that can be scheduled,
- the time range from the first uplink subframe to the last uplink subframe (4 subframes in FIG. 4F) is the UL. burst corresponding to the time range.

Description
本发明涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种反馈信息的传输方法、相关设备及通信系统。
长期演进(英文:Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统支持频分双工(英文:Frequency Division Duplexing,FDD)和时分双工(Time Division Duplexing,TDD)两种双工方式。其中,FDD是指上行和下行传输在不同的载波频段上进行,终端设备和接入网设备都允许同时进行接收和发送信号。TDD是指上行和下行传输在相同的载波频段上进行,终端设备/接入网设备在不同的时间进行信道的发送/接收或者接收/发送。基于混合自动重传请求(英文:Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request,HARQ)机制,终端设备对一个下行载波的反馈信息包括确认应答(英文:Acknowledgement,ACK)和非确认应答(英文:Non-Acknowledgement,NACK)。在现有的LTE系统中,终端设备接收物理下行共享信道(英文:Physical Downlink Shared Channel,PDSCH)的子帧与终端设备反馈该PDSCH相应的ACK或NACK的上行子帧之间的子帧间隔是预先定义好的,因此保证了终端设备对ACK或NACK的反馈以及接入网设备对该ACK或NACK的接收。
其中,对于FDD系统,终端设备在下行子帧n-4接收到PDSCH承载的下行数据之后,会在上行子帧n反馈该PDSCH对应的ACK或NACK。对于TDD系统,无线帧的上下行配置是固定的,如图1A所示,LTE当前支持7种不同的TDD上下行配置。其中,D表示下行子帧(英文:Downlink Subframe),S表示特殊子帧(英文:Special Subrame,SSF)、U表示上行子帧(英文:Uplink Subframe)。PDSCH与其对应的ACK或NACK的时序关系或定时关系如图1B所示,标数字的子帧为用于反馈ACK或NACK的上行子帧n,标识的数字表示在该上行子帧n中需要反馈n-k(k属于K)的下行子帧集合中的PDSCH所对
应的ACK或NACK,例如上下行配置为1的子帧标号n=2中的K={7、6}表示上行子帧n=2用来反馈n-7和n-6这两个下行子帧中的PDSCH所对应的ACK或NACK,具体n-7为下行子帧5,n-6为下行子帧6。
现有LTE系统的服务小区所部署的频谱都是授权频谱,即只可以被购买了该授权频谱的运营商网络使用。非授权频谱(又可称为免许可频谱)的关注度日益提升,因为非授权频谱不需要购买且任何运营商都可以使用。将来频谱资源会越来越短缺,使得基于授权频谱的LTE系统的服务能力受限。因此,LTE系统使用非授权频谱是一个演进方向,部署在非授权频谱上的LTE系统称为非授权长期演进(英文:Unlicensed-LTE,U-LTE)系统。
非授权频谱上的资源共享是指对特定频谱的使用只规定发射功率、带外泄露等指标上的限制,以及有的地域还有一些附加的共存策略等。考虑到非授权频谱上的多系统友好共存,比如U-LTE与无线保真(英文:Wireless Fidelity,WiFi)系统之间,或多运营商的U-LTE系统之间,在使用非授权频谱时需要遵循一些共存法规的限制,比如先检测后发送(英文:Listen-Before-Talk,LBT)。具体的,接入网设备或终端设备在U-LTE服务小区所在的信道上发送信号之前,需要对该服务小区所在的信道进行空闲信道评估(英文:Clear Channel Assessment,CCA),一旦检测到的接收功率超过某阈值,则该接入网设备或终端设备暂时不能在该信道上发送信号。直到发现该信道空闲,接入网设备或终端设备才可以在该信道上发送信号,甚至在某些情况下,接入网设备或终端设备还需要进行随机回退,只有在该随机回退的时间内该信道才是空闲的,才可以在该信道上发送信号。基于此,可以获知,对于LTE系统而言,无论是发送下行数据的接入网设备,还是发送上行数据的终端设备,在非授权频谱上的数据传输都是机会性的。此外,在非授权频谱机会性数据传输的基础上,为了适应LTE系统的上下行业务需求,U-LTE系统在非授权频谱上的上下行配置可以是灵活的。
基于非授权频谱的上述特点(机会性数据传输、灵活的上下行配置),使得现有技术中预定义的PDSCH与HARQ-ACK之间的定时关系在非授权频谱上难以保证。一方面是由于CCA机制的使用,导致无法保证在预定义的定时关系下确定的上行子帧处,终端设备可以竞争到非授权频谱资源;另一方面是
从灵活的上下行配置结构来看,例如对于FDD系统而言,U-LTE系统无法保证在一个下行子帧的子帧起始边界之后的固定4个子帧间隔对应的子帧为上行子帧;又例如,对于TDD系统而言,由于U-LTE系统也不会采用现有图1A中的TDD上下行配置,而是灵活的上下行配置,这样就使得U-LTE系统也没法使用现有图1B中定义的各TDD上下行配置下的上行ACK/NACK反馈定时关系。
如何保证在U-LTE场景下终端设备根据实际调度情况向接入网设备发送ACK/NACK反馈信息,是目前需要解决的技术问题。

本发明的实施方式部分使用的术语仅用于对本发明的具体实施例进行解释,而非旨在限定本发明。下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚地描述。
参见图2,图2示出了本发明实施例涉及的通信系统,其中,本发明实施例中的接入网设备和终端设备可以工作在非授权频谱上。接入网设备与终端设备通过某种空口技术相互通信。所述空口技术可包括:现有的2G(如全球移动通信系统(英文:Global System for Mobile Communications,GSM))、3G(如通用移动通信系统(英文:Universal Mobile Telecommunications System,UMTS)、宽带码分多址(英文:Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,WCDMA)、时分同步码分多址(英文:Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access,TD-SCDMA))、4G(如FDD LTE、TDD LTE)以及未来即将面市的4.5G、5G系统等。
终端设备还可以包括中继(英文:Relay),和基站可以进行数据通信的都可以看为终端设备,本发明中将以一般意义上的用户设备(英文:User Equipment,UE)来介绍。此外,终端设备也可以称为移动台、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、
无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置等。终端设备可以是无线局域网(英文:Wireless Local Area Networks,WLAN)中的站点(英文:Staion,ST),可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(英文:Session Initiation Protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(英文:Wireless Local Loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(英文:Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及未来5G网络中的移动台或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网(英文:Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)网络中的终端设备等。
接入网设备可以是用于与终端设备进行通信的设备,接入网设备可以是WLAN中的接入点(英文:Access Point,AP),GSM或CDMA中的基站(英文:Base Transceiver Station,BTS),也可以是WCDMA中的基站(英文:NodeB,NB),还可以是LTE中的演进型基站(英文:evolved Node B,eNB),或者中继站或接入点,或者车载设备、可穿戴设备以及未来5G网络中的接入网设备或者未来演进的PLMN网络中的接入网设备等。
以下各实施例中提到的小区可以是基站对应的小区,小区可以属于宏基站,也可以属于小小区(英文:Small cell)对应的基站,这里的小小区可以包括:城市小区(英文:Metro cell)、微小区(英文:Micro cell)、微微小区(英文:Pico cell)、毫微微小区(英文:Femto cell)等,这些小小区具有覆盖范围小、发射功率低的特点,适用于提供高速率的数据传输服务。
本发明用于无线通信系统,尤其用于授权频段辅助接入的LTE(英文:Licensed-Assisted Access LTE,LAA-LTE)系统。LAA-LTE系统是指将授权频段和非授权频谱通过载波聚合(英文:Carrier Aggregation,CA)或者非CA的方式(例如双链接(英文:Dual Connectivity,DC))在一起使用的LTE系统。具体的:
主流部署场景是将授权频段和非授权频谱通过CA联合使用的场景,即将授权频段(也可以称为许可频段)包括的载波或工作在授权频段上的小区作为主小区,将非授权频谱(也可以称为非许可频谱)包括的载波或工作在非授权频谱上的小区作为辅小区,其中主小区和辅小区可以共站部署,也可以是非共站部署,两个小区之间有理想的回传路径。
但本发明也不限于上述CA的场景,其他部署场景,还包括两个小区(主小区和辅小区)之间没有理想回传路径的场景,比如回传延迟较大,导致两个小区之间无法快速的协调信息。例如DC场景。
此外,还可以考虑独立部署的工作在非授权频谱上的小区,即此时工作在非授权频谱上的服务小区直接可以提供独立接入功能,不需要通过工作在授权频段上小区的辅助,例如独立的非授权长期演进(英文:Standalone LTE over unlicensed spectrum,Standalone U-LTE)系统。
在本发明实施例中,需要说明一下,LTE系统中的载波与服务小区的概念是等同的,例如终端设备接入一个载波和接入一个服务小区是等同的。在本发明实施例中,统一以服务小区的概念来介绍。
请参见图3,是本发明实施例提供的一种反馈信息的传输方法的流程示意图,该方法包括但不限于以下步骤。
S301、终端设备在至少一个下行突发中的下行子帧中接收接入网设备发送的下行数据。
本发明实施例中,一个下行突发(英文:Downlink Burst,DL Burst)是指在时间上连续占用的多个下行子帧。例如,基站(例如eNB)或基站下的小区(英文:Cell)在抢占到非授权频谱资源之后,不需要再通过竞争机制(例如LBT)而利用该非授权频谱资源进行的数据传输。一个下行突发的时间长度不大于该基站(或该小区)在该非授权频谱资源上不需要再通过竞争机制而可以连续传输的最大时间,该最大时间也可以称为最大信道占用时间(英文:Maximum Channel Occupied Time,MCOT)。MCOT可以与地域法规约束有关,例如在日本,MCOT可以等于4ms,在欧洲,MCOT可以等于8ms,或者10ms,或者13ms;MCOT也可以与侦听设备(例如基站、用户设备)采用的竞争机制有关,一般而言,侦听时间越短,MCOT就越短;MCOT的长度还可以与数据传输的业务等级有关,例如以互联网电话业务为例,该业务优先级较高,则一般MCOT可以为2ms,因此基站在竞争到非授权频谱资源之后,可以连续占用2毫秒;以数传业务为例,该业务优先级较低,则一般可以连续占用8或10毫秒。
需要说明的是,在上述描述中,不需要再通过竞争机制可以包括:基站或小区在抢占到非授权频谱资源之后,在该非授权频谱资源上实际发送数据的时间内或在MCOT内,不需要再通过竞争机制评估该非授权频谱资源是否可用。例如,如图4A所示,在图4A中,DL Burst为:从第二个子帧开始,该基站不需要再通过竞争机制评估该非授权频谱资源是否可用。图4A中,DL burst可以连续占用4个下行子帧,其中最后一个下行子帧用于下行数据传输的时间长度小于1个下行子帧的时间长度。
或者,不需要再通过竞争机制还可以包括:基站或小区在抢占到非授权频谱资源之后,在该非授权频谱资源上实际发送数据的时间内或在MCOT内,可以不需要考虑与异系统的共存而采用竞争机制,但是可以考虑与同系统的共存而采用竞争机制,这里,为了同系统的共存而采用的竞争机制,可以包括在抢占到非授权频谱资源之后,在发送数据的时间或MCOT内,可以包括特定的时间单位(或称空闲的时间单位),在此特定的时间单位内,基站或小区可以停止数据传输(或可以停止发送数据),在此特定的时间单位内,基站或小区可以进行信道侦听来重新评测该非授权频谱资源是否可用,也可以不进行信道侦听而在特定的时间单位内,继续在发送数据的时间内或MCOT内发送数据,如图4B所示。在图4B中,从DL Burst开始到结束的时间范围内,基站可以在任意时间位置停止发送数据一段时间(对应图4B中空闲的时间单位),以便于同系统的其他设备可以和该基站在该非授权频谱资源上实现资源复用。这里,对于LTE系统而言,非LTE系统可以看为异系统,例如WLAN系统,或者采用WiFi技术的系统;LTE系统可以看为同系统,无论是属于相同运营商的LTE系统还是属于不同运营商的LTE系统,都可以看为同系统。
相应地,本发明实施例中,上行突发(英文:Uplink Burst,UL burst)是指在时间上连续占用的多个上行子帧。可选地,这多个上行子帧中可以包括用于其他终端设备进行CCA的时间区域(如图4C所示的空闲的时间单位,该空闲的时间单位至少可以用于其他终端设备进行CCA),也可以不包括用于其他终端设备进行CCA的时间区域(如图4D所示)。
可选地,上行突发可以包括:例如终端设备在抢占到非授权频谱资源之后,不需要再通过竞争机制(例如LBT)而利用该非授权频谱资源进行的数据传
输,一个上行突发的时间长度不大于该终端设备在该非授权频谱资源上的MCOT,这里也不排除对上行突发的时间长度有其他限定;或者,上行突发还可以包括两个相邻的下行突发之间包括的在时间上连续占用的多个上行子帧;或者,上行突发还可以包括:基站在竞争到非授权频谱资源之后,在其MCOT内包括的在时间上连续占用的多个上行子帧,例如图4E所示;或者,基站在抢占到非授权频谱资源之后,在该基站不需要通过竞争机制利用该非授权频谱进行数据传输的时间范围内或者在一个下行突发的时间内,基于特定的时间延迟(例如基于4ms的时间延迟),从可以调度到的第一个上行子帧到可以调度到的最后一个上行子帧之间终端设备进行的数据传输,如图4F所示,相应地,从第一个上行子帧到最后一个上行子帧之间的时间范围(图4F中,为4个子帧),为该UL burst对应的时间范围。
结合上述上行突发、下行突发的描述,在本发明实施例中,非授权频谱上的上下行子帧配置可以是灵活的,可以理解为:例如,在U-LTE系统的一次突发传输可以包括连续N个下行子帧,跟着一个特殊子帧,其中该特殊子帧中用于下行信息或下行数据传输的时间长度小于1个子帧的时间长度。例如如果一个子帧的时间长度为1ms,那么该特殊子帧中用于下行信息或下行数据传输的时间长度小于1ms;或者没有特殊子帧而只有一个保护间隔(英文:Guard Period,GP),然后跟着M个上行子帧,N和M是基站每次突发传输时灵活选取的。其中,一次突发传输又可以称为一次传输机会(英文:Transmission Opportunity,TxOP)。
本发明实施例中,子帧的时间长度为1毫秒。一个子帧对于正常循环前缀(英文:Normal Cyclic Prefix,NCP)情况包括14个正交频分复用(英文:Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)符号,对于扩展循环前缀(英文:Extended Cyclic Prefix,ECP)情况包括12个OFDM符号。当然也不排除将来继续演进的LTE系统或其他无线系统采用更短的子帧,比如将来的子帧的时间长度与当前的一个OFDM符号的时间长度相当。需要说明一下,本发明实施例中,一个时间长度为N个OFDM符号的子帧与一个时间长度为N个OFDM符号的传输时间间隔(英文:Transmission Time Interval,TTI)表达的含义可以一致。对于正常循环前缀情况,N可以不大于14,对于扩展循
环前缀,N可以不大于12。
本发明实施例中,下行子帧是包括接入网设备发送给终端设备的数据或信息的子帧,一个下行子帧中用于下行数据传输或下行信息传输的时间长度可以等于一个下行子帧的时间长度,也可以小于一个下行子帧的时间长度;上行子帧是包括终端设备发送给接入网设备的数据或信息的子帧,一个上行子帧中用于上行数据传输或上行信息传输的时间长度可以等于一个上行子帧的时间长度,也可以小于一个上行子帧的时间长度。
具体的,终端设备在至少一个下行突发中的下行子帧中接收接入网设备发送的下行数据具体可以包括如下步骤:
步骤1:终端设备检测下行控制信道。
终端设备可能会在至少一个下行突发中的每个下行子帧中都检测到下行控制信道,也可能在至少一个下行突发中的一部分下行子帧中都检测到下行控制信道,也可能在第一下行子帧集合中的每个下行子帧都检测到下行控制信道,也可能在第一下行子帧集合中的一部分下行子帧检测到下行控制信道,其中所述第一下行子帧集合属于所述至少一个下行突发,所述第一下行子帧集合包括所述至少一个下行突发中的至少一个下行子帧。这里的下行控制信道可以至少包括:物理下行控制信道(英文:Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)或增强型物理下行控制信道(英文:Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel,EPDCCH)。
步骤2:终端设备在检测到的下行控制信道调度的下行数据信道中接收下行数据,该下行数据信道在LTE系统中,可以称为PDSCH,该下行数据信道承载了下行数据。
其中下行控制信道与其调度的下行数据信道一般在同一个下行子帧中,当然也不排除在不同的下行子帧中。
S302、所述终端设备确定第一下行子帧集合与第一上行子帧相关联。
本发明实施例中,终端设备在下行数据信道中接收下行数据之后,需要反馈这些下行数据对应的ACK或NACK,这样可以保证下行数据传输效率,其中,所述第一上行子帧用于发送所述至少一个下行突发包括的第一下行子帧集合中的下行数据所对应的第一反馈信息,所述第一上行子帧在第一上行突发中,
所述第一下行子帧集合包括所述至少一个下行突发中的一个下行子帧,也可以所述至少一个下行突发中的多个下行子帧,本发明实施例不作具体限定。其中,每个下行数据信道中的下行数据分别对应一份ACK或NACK,当然也不排除多个下行数据信道中分别承载的多份下行数据对应一份ACK或NACK。本发明以每个下行数据信道中的下行数据分别对应一份ACK或NACK这种情况为例进行描述。
考虑到第一上行子帧在第一上行突发中,而该第一上行子帧中发送的反馈信息是对应之前在第一下行子帧集合中接收到的下行数据的,因此所述第一上行突发一定在至少一个下行突发之后。例如,如图4G所示,包括所述第一上行子帧的上行突发可以紧跟着一个下行突发;当下行突发个数大于1时,包括所述第一上行子帧的上行突发可以紧跟着最后一个下行突发。又例如,包括所述第一上行子帧的上行突发与第一下行子帧集合所属于的至少一个下行突发之间还可以包括其他下行突发和/或上行突发,如图4H所示。这些情况本发明并不做具体限定。
本发明实施例中,关联的含义可以理解为所述第一下行子帧集合中的部分或全部下行子帧中的下行数据对应的反馈信息需要在第一上行子帧中进行发送。优选地,在本发明实施例中,关联的含义可以理解为所述第一下行子帧集合中包括的全部下行子帧的下行数据对应的反馈信息需要在第一上行子帧中进行发送,这样做的好处在于,不需要额外的指示信息,辅助终端设备确定第一下行子帧集合中包括的具体哪些下行子帧的下行数据对应的反馈信息需要在第一上行子帧中进行反馈。关联的含义也可以理解为所述第一下行子帧集合中的部分或全部下行子帧对应的反馈信息需要在第一上行子帧进行发送。优选地,在本发明实施例中,关联的含义可以理解为所述第一下行子帧集合中的全部下行子帧对应的反馈信息需要在第一上行子帧进行发送。例如,结合图1B来说,以TDD上下行配置2为例,上行子帧2所关联的下行子帧为配置给终端设备的N个载波中的下行子帧4、5、6、8,因此下行子帧4、5、6、8与上行子帧2相关联,下行子帧4、5、6、8中的下行数据对应的反馈信息需要在上行子帧2中进行发送。其中对于单载波而言,N为1,对于多载波例如CA模式下,N取决于为终端设备配置的载波个数,例如N可以为5。
这里,如果第一下行子帧集合中的下行子帧不包括该终端设备的下行数据,则该下行子帧对应的反馈信息可以用NACK或者不连续发送(英文:Discontinuity Transmission,DTX)来表示。可选的,这种关联关系可以是预配置的,比如由预设的HARQ定时关系来确定,该HARQ定时关系可以为:下行数据所在子帧与发送该下行数据对应的反馈信息的子帧之间的间隔不小于某阈值,在当前LTE系统中,该阈值为4,即UE在子帧n接收到下行数据则最早可以在子帧n+4进行该下行数据的反馈信息的发送,其他阈值的取值也不排除;可选的,这种关联关系也可以由接入网设备确定后再通知UE,比如通过公共信令或UE特定的信令来进行通知,本发明实施例中不做具体限定。
例如,终端设备可以通过信令指示或者预配置的方式,确定第一上行子帧,然后再根据预设的HARQ定时关系确定第一下行子帧集合。亦或者,终端设备可以通过信令指示或者预配置的方式,确定第一下行子帧集合,然后再根据预设的HARQ定时关系,确定第一上行子帧。需要说明的是,这里预设的HARQ定时关系,也可以看为关联的一种形式。更为一般地,在本步骤中,终端设备可以通过确定的第一上行子帧和所述关联关系,确定第一下行子帧集合,或者终端设备可以通过确定的第一下行子帧集合和所述关联关系,确定第一上行子帧。
例如,第一上行子帧为跟在至少一个下行突发之后的第一个上行突发的第一个上行子帧;又例如,如果终端设备在第一下行子帧集合中的下行子帧接收到上行调度指示信息,则该上行调度指示信息对应的上行数据所在的子帧也可以是第一上行子帧。进一步地,如果该终端设备在第一下行子帧集合中的一个下行子帧接收到的上行调度指示信息,且该上行调度指示信息指示该终端设备在至少2个上行子帧传输上行数据,那么至少2个上行子帧中的第一个可以是第一上行子帧,当然也不排除至少2个上行子帧中的其他上行子帧也可以为第一上行子帧;又例如,终端设备在一个下行突发中的多个下行子帧中接收到被调度的下行数据,则最后一个被调度的下行数据所在的下行子帧,按照HARQ定时关系,确定的上行子帧为第一上行子帧;又例如,终端设备在第一下行子帧集合中的多个下行子帧接收到被调度的下行数据,则最后一个被调度的下行数据所在的下行子帧,按照HARQ定时关系,确定的上行子帧为第一上行子
帧;又例如,第一下行子帧集合中包括的最后一个下行子帧,按照HARQ定时关系,确定的上行子帧为第一上行子帧。又例如:终端设备可以根据下行突发或第一下行子帧集合中包括的承载下行调度指示信息(例如DL grant)的下行子帧与HARQ定时关系,确定第一上行子帧;又例如:终端设备可以根据下行突发或第一下行子帧集合中包括的承载上行调度指示信息(例如UL grant)的下行子帧与HARQ定时关系,确定第一上行子帧。这里的DL grant和/或UL grant可以承载在下行控制信息(英文:Downlink Control Information,DCI)中。这些情况本发明并不做具体限定。
又例如:终端设备根据上行调度指示信息,确定第一上行子帧,然后根据HARQ定时关系,确定第一上行子帧对应的第一下行子帧集合。一种可选的方式是:如果终端设备在子帧n收到UL grant信息,则终端设备可以确定在子帧n+4包括该UL grant信息调度的上行数据信道,并且该终端设备可以在该上行数据信道传输上行数据。终端设备可以将子帧n+4确定为第一上行子帧,然后根据HARQ定时关系,将子帧n+4之前且与子帧n+4之间的时间延迟不小于4ms的下行突发中包括的下行子帧都作为第一下行子帧集合中包括的下行子帧。进一步地,可以只将子帧n所在的下行突发中与上行子帧n+4满足HARQ定时关系的下行子帧都作为第一下行子帧集合中的下行子帧。或者,除了可以将子帧n所在的下行突发中与上行子帧n+4满足HARQ定时关系的下行子帧都作为第一下行子帧集合中的下行子帧之外,还可以将子帧n所在的下行突发之前的下行突发中还没有反馈HARQ-ACK的下行数据所在的下行子帧也作为第一下行子帧集合中的下行子帧。在本发明实施例中,HARQ-ACK包括ACK或NACK。可选地,当采用信令指示的方式,确定第一上行子帧和/或第一下行子帧集合时,所述终端设备可以在所述至少一个下行突发中的任意一个或多个下行突发中的任意一个或多个下行子帧接收到所述信令;或者,所述终端设备可以在所述至少一个下行突发中的的任意一个或多个下行突发中的倒数第二和/或倒数第一个下行子帧中接收到所述信令;或者,所述终端设备可以在所述至少一个下行突发中的最后一个下行突发的任意一个或多个下行子帧中接收到所述信令;或者,所述终端设备可以在所述至少一个下行突发中的最后一个下行突发的倒数第二和/或倒数第一个下行子帧中接收到所述信令。进一
步可选地,所述信令可以为公共控制信令,可选地,该公共控制信令还可以用于指示下行突发的结束时刻,优选地,所述公共控制信令可以指示包括该公共控制信令在内的下行突发的结束时刻。
需要说明一下,通过信令指示或者预配置的方法,同样可以应用在终端设备确定下述第二上行子帧和/或第二下行子帧集合;也可以应用在终端设备确定下述第三上行子帧和/或第三下行子帧集合。
S303、所述终端设备确定第一反馈信息码本,并根据所述第一反馈信息码本确定所述第一反馈信息。
具体的,第一反馈信息可以用ACK或NACK表示,还可以用DTX表示。
本发明实施例中,第一下行子帧集合中的下行数据所对应的第一反馈信息,可以包括第一下行子帧集合中的所有下行子帧所对应的反馈信息,对于终端设备而言,如果第一下行子帧集合中只有部分下行子帧包括调度给该终端设备的下行数据,例如通过(E)PDCCH调度PDSCH,那么对于未调度的下行子帧,其所对应的反馈信息可以用NACK表示,对于第一下行子帧集合中包括调度给该终端设备的下行数据的下行子帧而言,其所对应的反馈信息可以用ACK或NACK来表示;或者,第一下行子帧集合中的下行数据所对应的第一反馈信息,对于终端设备而言,可以包括第一下行子帧集合中所有被调度的下行子帧所对应的第一反馈信息。
以单载波或CA模式下的物理上行控制信道(英文:Physical Uplink Control Channel,PUCCH)发送模式包括的码本复用模式为例,说明在本发明实施例中,第一反馈信息码本的含义。单载波或CA模式下的PUCCH发送模式包括多种,比如绑定模式、信道选择模式和码本复用模式等,其中,码本复用模式较为常用。以当前网络中主流部署的TDD上下行配置2为例来阐述码本复用模式,参见图1B,一个载波的上行子帧2可以支持4个ACK或NACK比特的反馈(这里,假设上行子帧2所关联的下行子帧调度的下行数据对应的是一个传输块(英文:Transmission Block,TB),或者对应的是一个下行码字的传输),5个载波的TDD上下行配置2的CA可以支持20个ACK或NACK比特的反馈,此时可以看作此上行子帧2所关联的下行子帧集合为上述配置给该UE的5个载波中的下行子帧4、5、6和8,在码本复用模式下,上行子帧2
中需要反馈的ACK或NACK的码本生成是基于该上行子帧2所关联的下行子帧集合来确定的,该ACK或NACK的码本就是编码前的ACK或NACK的原始比特按照一定的顺序进行排列的比特流,在这里,ACK或NACK的原始比特按照一定的顺序进行排列的比特流,可以看为本发明实施例中的反馈信息码本。该例中与反馈信息ACK或NACK对应的码本大小为20个比特,具体的排序可以是先子帧后载波的顺序,即先排列载波1的子帧4、5、6和8对应的ACK或NACK比特,再排列载波2的子帧4、5、6和8对应的ACK或NACK比特,按照上述方式继续排列剩余载波的子帧对应的ACK或NACK比特。特别的,对于未调度的下行子帧,或对于UE未接收到下行数据的下行子帧对应的ACK或NACK比特位置需进行填充NACK信息。
进一步地,终端设备确定第一反馈信息码本之后,可以确定第一反馈信息。例如,在终端设备确定了反馈信息的码本之后,该终端设备需根据该码本进行信道编码,”。信道编码的类型可以为线性块编码、卷积码或Turbo码等,本发明不限定信道编码的类型。如果采用现行块编码,比如里德穆勒码,一般不需在编码前添加循环冗余校验(英文:Cyclical Redundancy Check,CRC),而如果采用卷积码或Turbo码,则终端设备可以在编码前为反馈信息的码本添加CRC比特。终端设备根据第一反馈信息码本确定第一反馈信息,除了可以包括信道编码,还可以包括数据调制和数据映射。
S304、所述终端设备在所述第一上行子帧中确定第一上行信道。
本发明实施例中,第一上行信道可以是PUCCH,也可以是物理上行共享信道(英文:Physical Uplink Shared Channel,PUSCH)。终端设备在发送所述第一反馈信息之前,还包括确定在第一上行子帧中用于发送所述第一反馈信息的资源,比如,终端设备接收接入网设备发送的高层信令,比如无线资源控制(英文:Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令,从RRC信令中获取接入网设备为终端设备配置的PUCCH资源集合,该PUCCH资源集合中包括至少一个PUCCH资源。PUCCH资源集合中的PUCCH可以具有相同的格式,也可以包括至少两种PUCCH格式。然后,终端设备获取资源集合后,会接收到接入网设备发送的资源指示信息。最后,根据资源指示信息从PUCCH资源集合中确定用于承载反馈信息的物理资源。需要注意的是,上述只是一种资源指示的方
式,其他具体方式都不做限定。
需要说明的是,步骤S303和步骤S304的执行顺序不进行限定,终端设备可以先得到第一反馈信息,再确定第一上行信道,也可以先确定第一上行信道,再得到第一反馈信息。
S305、所述终端设备在所述第一上行信道上向所述接入网设备发送所述第一反馈信息。
作为一种可选的实施方式,所述方法还包括:
所述终端设备确定第二下行子帧集合与第二上行子帧相关联,所述第二下行子帧集合属于所述至少一个下行突发,所述第一下行子帧集合为所述第二下行子帧集合的子集,所述第二上行子帧用于发送所述第二下行子帧集合中的下行数据所对应的第二反馈信息,所述第二上行子帧在所述第一上行突发中,所述第二上行子帧在所述第一上行子帧之后;
所述终端设备确定第二反馈信息码本,并根据所述第二反馈信息码本确定所述第二反馈信息;
所述终端设备在所述第二上行子帧中确定第二上行信道;
所述终端设备在所述第二上行信道上向所述接入网设备发送所述第二反馈信息。
可选地,终端设备确定第二下行子帧集合、第二上行子帧、以及关联关系的方法可以如前所述,也可以采用其他方式确定,在此不做具体限定。
在本发明实施例中,可选地,第一下行子帧集合、第二下行子帧集合之间的关系,以及第一上行子帧与第二上行子帧的关系可以如图4I-图4L所示。
在本发明实施例中,子集包括全集和真子集。具体的,如图4I和图4J所示,第一下行子帧集合与第二下行子帧集合相同,即此时子集就相当于全集;也可以如图4K和图4L所示,第一下行子帧集合为第二下行子帧集合的真子集。
图4I中,第一下行子帧集合与第二下行子帧集合相同,第二上行子帧可以是与所述第一上行子帧在相同上行突发中且在第一上行子帧之后的任意一个上行子帧。相当于,与第一下行子帧集合相关联的上行子帧可以有多个。这样做的好处在于,即使终端设备在第一上行子帧没有竞争到非授权信道使用机
会,也可以在第二上行子帧继续判断是否可以竞争到非授权频谱资源,如果可以竞争到,则可以继续反馈与第一下行子帧集合相关联的反馈信息。与现有技术,只在一个上行子帧反馈与下行被调度的数据相关联的反馈信息相比,可以增强反馈信息的传输机会,从而提高反馈信息的传输成功几率,这尤其适用于基于竞争的工作在非授权频谱上的系统。
此外,采用本发明实施例中,即使终端设备在第一上行子帧竞争到非授权信道使用机会,保证了与第一下行子帧集合相关联的反馈信息的传输,终端设备也可以在第二上行子帧发送的第二反馈信息中包括第一反馈信息。这样做的好处在于,相比于如下技术A,可以保证接入网设备与终端设备对第一上行子帧之后的其他上行子帧传输的反馈信息有一致理解。技术A描述如下:终端设备确定至少2个上行子帧用于传输针对下行数据的反馈信息,并且假设至少2个上行子帧中的第一个上行子帧用于传输下行子帧标号为1/2/3的下行子帧对应的反馈信息,至少2个上行子帧中的另外一个上行子帧用于传输下行子帧标号为4的下行子帧对应的反馈信息,如果该终端设备在该第一个上行子帧没有竞争到非授权频谱资源,那么该终端设备在该第一个上行子帧无法传输下行子帧标号为1/2/3的下行子帧对应的反馈信息,在这种情况下,现有技术A的做法是,如果该终端设备在另外一个上行子帧竞争到非授权频谱资源,则该终端设备在另外一个上行子帧中传输下行子帧标号为1/2/3/4的下行子帧对应的反馈信息;另一方面,如果该终端设备在该第一个上行子帧竞争到非授权频谱资源,则该终端设备仍然在该第一个上行子帧传输下行子帧标号为1/2/3的下行子帧对应的反馈信息,而在另外一个上行子帧中只传输下行子帧标号为4的下行子帧对应的反馈信息。可以观察到,技术A的核心在于,确定的至少2个上行子帧中除该第一个上行子帧外的其他上行子帧传输的反馈信息与第一个上行子帧是否竞争到非授权频谱资源有关。这样就需要接入网设备首先确定终端设备是否在该第一个上行子帧竞争到非授权频谱资源,然后才能确定终端设备在其他上行子帧传输的反馈信息对应的是哪些下行子帧的反馈信息。一种方法是,接入网设备可以通过不连续发送(英文:Discontinuous Transmission,DTX)检测,确定该终端设备是否在该第一个上行子帧竞争到非授权频谱资源,例如,接入网设备可以通过检测该第一个上行子帧是否包括上行解调参考信号
(英文:Demodulation Reference Signal,DMRS),确定终端设备在该第一个上行子帧是否竞争到非授权频谱资源。但是考虑到非授权频谱上可能存在的隐藏节点(英文:Hidden Node)造成的干扰,会使得接入网设备通过检测DMRS的有无,确定终端设备是否在该第一个上行子帧竞争到非授权频谱资源的检测性能不可靠。例如终端设备在该第一个上行子帧竞争到了非授权频谱资源,传输了下行子帧标号为1/2/3的下行子帧对应的反馈信息,在该第一个上行子帧之后的其他上行子帧,只传输子帧标号为4的下行子帧对应的反馈信息。但是由于隐藏节点引入的干扰,会导致接入网设备没有检测到该第一个上行子帧中包括的DMRS,从而使得接入网设备误认为该终端设备会在该第一个上行子帧之后的其他上行子帧反馈下行子帧标号为1/2/3/4的下行子帧对应的反馈信息,进而导致接入网设备与终端设备对该第一个上行子帧之后的其他上行子帧承载的反馈信息判断出错,进而导致数据解调失败。需要说明的是,这里也不排除引起接入网设备检测性能不可靠的原因除了隐藏节点,还可以包括其他因素,也不排除接入网设备除了通过盲检测DMRS的有无,还可以通过其他检测方式确定终端设备在该第一个上行子帧竞争到非授权频谱资源。而采用本发明实施例的方法,无论终端设备在第一上行子帧(可以理解为“现有技术A中的第一个上行子帧)是否竞争到非授权频谱资源,第二上行子帧(可以理解为“现有技术A中的其他上行子帧”)中传输的反馈信息都包括第一上行子帧传输的反馈信息,这样可以保证接入网设备与终端设备对第二上行子帧中传输的反馈信息有一致的理解,保证了反馈信息的可靠传输。
图4J与图4I的区别在于,对于终端设备而言,第一上行子帧只反馈第一下行子帧集合中的部分下行子帧所关联的反馈信息,例如,部分下行子帧可以是包括该终端设备被调度的PDSCH的下行子帧。同样的,第二上行子帧也可以只反馈第二下行子帧集合中的部分下行子帧所关联的反馈信息。例如,图4J中,第一上行子帧包括的反馈信息,可以是针对子帧标号为2/3/4/6的下行子帧,而图4I中,第一上行子帧包括的反馈信息,可以是针对子帧标号为1/2/3/4/5/6的下行子帧。
图4K中,第一下行子帧集合为第二下行子帧集合的真子集。第二上行子帧可以是与所述第一上行子帧在相同上行突发中且在第一上行子帧之后的任
意一个上行子帧。
图4L与图4K的区别在于,第一上行子帧只反馈第一下行子帧集合中的部分下行子帧所关联的反馈信息,同样的,第二上行子帧也可以只反馈第二下行子帧集合中的部分下行子帧所关联的反馈信息。
需要说明的是,在本发明实施例中,第一上行子帧与第一下行子帧集合中的部分还是全部下行子帧相关联,第二上行子帧与第二下行子帧集合中的部分还是全部下行子帧相关联,可以是独立的配置,也可以是相同的配置。优选地,第一上行子帧与第一下行子帧集合中的全部下行子帧相关联,也就是说,无论第一下行子帧集合中包括的全部下行子帧是否都包括调度给该终端设备的PDSCH,第一上行子帧都可以包括第一下行子帧集合中所有下行子帧对应的HARQ-ACK。优选地,第二上行子帧与第二下行子帧集合中的全部下行子帧相关联,也就是说,无论第二下行子帧集合中包括的全部下行子帧是否都包括调度给该终端设备的PDSCH,第二上行子帧都可以包括第二下行子帧集合中所有下行子帧对应的HARQ-ACK。
可选地,在本发明实施例中,第二上行子帧为第一上行子帧所在的上行突发中的最后一个上行子帧。这样做的好处在于,可以为第二反馈信息的发送提供更多的传输机会。例如,对于终端设备而言,即使在包括第一上行子帧的上行突发中从第一个上行子帧到倒数第二个上行子帧都没有竞争到非授权频谱资源,该终端设备仍然可以在该上行突发中的最后一个上行子帧之前确定非授权频谱资源是否可以使用。
或者,可选地,在本发明实施例中,第二上行子帧为第一上行子帧所在的上行突发中的倒数第二个上行子帧。这样做的好处在于,除了可以为第二反馈信息的发送提供较多的传输机会,还可以保证第二反馈信息的传输。这是因为,在某些情况下,第一上行子帧所在的上行突发之后可能紧跟着一个下行突发,如图4M所示。在这种情况下,第一上行子帧所在的上行突发包括的最后一个上行子帧用于上行数据或信息传输的时间长度可能小于一个上行子帧的长度,这样,可以为后续的下行突发预留侦听位置,在这种情况下,为了保证第二反馈信息的传输,第二上行子帧可以是第一上行子帧所在的上行突发中的倒数第二个上行子帧。
或者,可选地,在本发明实施例中,第二上行子帧为除第一上行子帧之外的且用于上行数据或信息传输的时间长度不小于特定阈值的上行子帧,例如考虑到HARQ-ACK的无损传输,需要上行子帧中用于上行信息传输的时间长度为14个OFDM符号,那么在该例中,特定阈值可以设置为14个OFDM符号,也就是说第二上行子帧用于上行信息传输的时间长度为不小于14个OFDM符号,对于正常循环前缀配置而言,第二上行子帧用于上行信息传输的时间长度等于1个子帧的时间长度。
可选地,在本发明实施例中,第二上行子帧与第一上行子帧在同一个上行突发中,即同在所述第一上行突发中。例如图4M所示。这样做的好处在于,不同的上行突发之间,还可能存在一个下行突发,例如图4M所示,在这种情况下,如果第二上行子帧与第一上行子帧在同一个上行突发中,那么在第二个下行突发中,接入网设备就可以获得终端设备对第一个下行突发中被调度的下行数据所反馈的HARQ-ACK,这样接入网设备就可以根据该终端设备反馈的HARQ-ACK,确定在第二个下行突发中是否需要对没有调度成功的数据进行重传或开始进行新数据的传输,还可以确定在第二个下行突发中,对已经调度成功的数据进行新数据的传输,从而可以减少数据处理的时延。
需要说明的是,所述第二上行子帧还可以是在所述第一上行子帧之后,但不在所述第一上行突发中,而是在所述第一上行突发之后的上行突发中。进一步可选地,所述第二上行子帧可以是所述第一上行突发之后的上行突发中最后一个、第一个或者倒数第二个上行子帧,或者是用于上行数据或信息传输的时间长度不小于特定阈值的上行子帧。但是采用这种方式并不优于“所述第二上行子帧在所述第一上行突发”的方式,这是因为,如果第二上行子帧与第一上行子帧不在同一个上行突发中,且第一上行子帧未竞争到非授权频谱资源,则接入网设备需要在第二个下行突发且第二上行子帧之后,才能获取到第一个下行突发调度的下行数据对应的HARQ-ACK。这样相当于增加了接入网设备的数据传输时延(英文:delay)。
可选地,第二上行子帧可以在第二上行突发中,所述第二上行突发在所述第一上行突发之后,且所述第二上行突发与所述第一上行突发相邻,即所述第一上行突发与所述第二上行突发之间不包括其他下行突发,例如图4N所示,
这里需要说明的是,原则上,在时间上连续传输的上行子帧组成的突发都可以看为一个上行突发,但不排除,基于非授权频谱上最大使用时长的考虑例如MCOT,将连续传输的上行子帧划分为多个上行突发。进一步可选地,所述第二上行子帧可以是所述第二上行突发中最后一个、第一个或者倒数第二个上行子帧,或者是用于上行数据或信息传输的时间长度不小于特定阈值的上行子帧,在本发明做不做具体限定。
作为一种可选的实施方式,所述终端设备在所述第二上行信道上向所述接入网设备发送所述第二反馈信息之前,还包括:
所述终端设备接收所述接入网设备发送的重叠码本指示信息;
所述终端设备根据所述重叠码本指示信息确定与所述第二上行子帧相关联的第二下行子帧集合。
在本发明实施例中,所述终端设备根据所述重叠码本指示信息确定与所述第二上行子帧相关联的第二下行子帧集合,可以包括:所述终端设备根据所述重叠码本指示信息,可以确定在所述第二上行子帧反馈的第二反馈信息中是否包括所述第一反馈信息;或者,也可以包括:所述终端设备根据所述重叠码本指示信息,可以确定所述第二上行子帧与所述第二下行子帧集合中的哪些下行子帧对应的反馈信息相关联;或者,也可以包括:所述终端设备根据所述重叠码本指示信息,也可以确定所述第二上行子帧与所述第二下行子帧集合中的哪些下行子帧相关联,这里的哪些子帧可以包括第一下行子帧集合中的部分或全部子帧,也可以不包括第一下行子帧集合中的子帧。
可选地,所述重叠码本指示信息用于指示,在第二上行子帧中反馈的第二反馈信息是否包括第一下行子帧集合中的下行数据对应的反馈信息。所述重叠码本指示信息还可以用于指示,在第二上行子帧中反馈的第二反馈信息具体包括第一下行子帧集合中的哪些下行子帧对应的反馈信息。可选地,第二反馈信息可以包括第一反馈信息的全部内容;或者,第二反馈信息可以包括第一反馈信息的部分内容。
可选地,该重叠码本指示信息可以承载在调度第二上行子帧的上行调度指示信息例如UL grant中。例如,在UL grant中包括1比特指示信息,当该比特置为1或0时,表示在第二上行子帧反馈的第二反馈信息中需要包括第一反
馈信息;或者说,与第二上行子帧相关联的第二下行子帧集合包括第一下行子帧集合中的全部下行子帧或部分下行子帧,进一步地,当包括部分下行子帧时,可以通过预配置或其他信令指示的方式,使终端设备确定与第二上行子帧相关联的第一下行子帧集合中的部分下行子帧。在本发明实施例中,当终端设备根据重叠码本指示信息确定在第二上行子帧中传输的第二反馈信息包括第一反馈信息时,第二反馈信息包括第一反馈信息的所有内容,或者说,第二反馈信息对应第二下行子帧集合中包括的所有下行子帧对应的反馈信息。
或者,在本发明实施例中,重叠码本指示信息也可以不是接入网设备发送的,而是隐式指示地。例如,如果终端设备在所述第一上行子帧之前需要通过CCA确定,在第一上行子帧是否可以发送所述第一反馈信息,那么该终端设备就可以确定与所述第二上行子帧相关联的第二反馈信息需要包括所述第一反馈信息的全部内容;或者,又例如,如果终端设备确定在第一上行子帧传输第一反馈信息之前,需要先通过CCA确定非授权频谱资源是否可用,那么该终端设备就可以确定在第二上行子帧的第二反馈信息中需要包括第一下行子帧集合中的下行数据对应的反馈信息。
进一步地,可选地,所述终端设备根据所述重叠码本指示信息,确定与所述第二上行子帧相关联的第二下行子帧集合,还可以包括,所述终端设备根据所述重叠码本指示信息,确定所述第二下行子帧集合为包括该重叠码本指示信息的下行子帧所在的下行突发中与第二上行子帧满足HARQ定时关系的所有下行子帧,这里的HARQ定时关系可以理解为:假设第二上行子帧用子帧n表示,且下行突发中与第二上行子帧满足HARQ定时关系的子帧用子帧m表示,则n-m的结果不小于4,这里也不排除以后的LTE系统定义更短的HARQ定时关系,例如n-m的结果还可以不小于N,其中N为小于4的自然数;或者,所述终端设备根据所述重叠码本指示信息,确定所述第二上行子帧与所述第二下行子帧集合相关联,还可以包括,所述终端设备根据所述重叠码本指示信息,确定所述第二下行子帧集合为包括该重叠码本指示信息的下行子帧所在的下行突发中与第二上行子帧满足HARQ定时关系的所有下行子帧,以及所述所在的下行突发之前的下行突发中未反馈HARQ-ACK的所有下行子帧,这里未反馈HARQ-ACK的原因可以是由于该终端设备没有竞争到非授权频谱资
源;或者,所述终端设备根据所述重叠码本指示信息,确定所述第二上行子帧与所述第二下行子帧集合相关联,还可以包括,假设所述第二上行子帧所在的上行突发为第一上行突发,那么所述终端设备根据所述重叠码本指示信息,确定除所述第一上行突发中的第一个上行子帧之外关联的所有下行子帧,均为第二下行子帧集合中包括的下行子帧。
通过执行上述步骤,可以根据第一反馈信息传输成功的几率,确定第二反馈信息传输的内容,从而既能保证第一反馈信息的传输,也能尽可能减小第二上行子帧用于传输第二反馈信息的开销。
作为一种可选的实施方式,所述方法还包括:
所述终端设备确定第三下行子帧集合关联的第三上行子帧,所述第三下行子帧集合属于所述至少一个下行突发,所述第三下行子帧集合与所述第一下行子帧集合无重叠,所述第三上行子帧用于发送所述第三下行子帧集合中的下行数据所对应的第三反馈信息,所述第三上行子帧在所述第一上行突发中或所述第三上行子帧在所述第一上行突发之后的上行突发中,所述第三上行子帧在所述第一上行子帧之后;
所述终端设备确定第三反馈信息码本,并根据所述第三反馈信息码本确定所述第三反馈信息;
所述终端设备在所述第三上行子帧中确定第三上行信道;
所述终端设备在所述第三上行信道上向所述接入网设备发送所述第三反馈信息。
本发明实施例中,第一下行子帧集合、第三下行子帧集合之间的关系,以及第一上行子帧与第三上行子帧的关系可以如图4O所示。
通过执行上述步骤,所述至少一个下行突发中包括的下行数据对应的反馈信息除了可以在第一上行子帧反馈,还可以在第三上行子帧反馈,相比于将所述至少一个下行突发中包括的下行数据对应的反馈信息都在第一上行子帧反馈,可以减小第一上行子帧中包括的反馈信息的开销,并且,可以尽可能地保证所述至少一个下行突发中包括的下行数据对应的反馈信息的传输。这是因为,如果将所述至少一个下行突发中包括下行数据对应的反馈信息都在第一上行子帧反馈,那么如果终端设备在第一上行子帧没有竞争到免许可频段资源,那
么所述至少一个下行突发中包括的下行数据对应的反馈信息都无法传输,在这种情况下,终端设备确定第三上行子帧,可以尽可能地保证所述至少一个下行突发中包括的下行数据对应的部分反馈信息的传输。
作为一种可选的实施方式,所述终端设备在所述第三上行信道上向所述接入网设备发送所述第三反馈信息之前,还包括:
所述终端设备接收所述接入网设备发送的重叠码本指示信息;
所述终端设备根据所述重叠码本指示信息确定与所述第三上行子帧相关联的第三下行子帧集合。
可选地,所述终端设备根据所述重叠码本指示信息,确定与所述第三上行子帧相关联的第三下行子帧集合,还可以包括,所述终端设备根据所述重叠码本指示信息,确定所述第三下行子帧集合为包括该重叠码本指示信息的下行子帧所在的下行突发中除去所述第一下行子帧集合且与所述第三上行子帧满足HARQ定时关系的所有下行子帧,这里的HARQ定时关系可以理解为:假设第三上行子帧用子帧n表示,且下行突发中与第三上行子帧满足HARQ定时关系的子帧用子帧m表示,则n-m的结果不小于4,这里也不排除以后的LTE系统定义更短的HARQ定时关系,例如n-m的结果还可以不小于N,其中N为小于4的自然数;或者,所述终端设备根据所述重叠码本指示信息,确定与所述第三上行子帧相关联的第三下行子帧集合,还可以包括,假设所述第三上行子帧所在的上行突发为第一上行突发,那么所述终端设备根据所述重叠码本指示信息,确定除所述第一上行突发中的第一个上行子帧之外关联的所有下行子帧,均为第三下行子帧集合中包括的下行子帧。
可选地,该重叠码本指示信息可以承载在调度第三上行子帧的上行调度指示信息例如UL grant中。例如,在UL grant中包括1比特指示信息,当该比特置为0或1时,表示在第三上行子帧反馈的第三反馈信息中不需要包括第一反馈信息;或者说,与第三上行子帧相关联的第三下行子帧集合不包括第一下行子帧集合中的全部下行子帧。
或者,在本发明实施例中,重叠码本指示信息也可以不是接入网设备发送的,而是隐式指示地。例如,如果终端设备在所述第一上行子帧之前不需要通过CCA确定,在第一上行子帧是否可以发送所述第一反馈信息,那么该终端
设备就可以确定与所述第三上行子帧相关联的第三反馈信息不需要包括所述第一反馈信息的全部内容;或者,又例如,如果终端设备确定在第一上行子帧传输第一反馈信息之前,不需要先通过CCA确定非授权频谱资源是否可用,那么该终端设备就可以确定在第三上行子帧的第三反馈信息中不包括第一下行子帧集合中的下行数据对应的反馈信息。例如,当第一上行子帧为一个下行突发之后的第一个上行子帧时,终端设备在所述第一上行子帧传输第一反馈信息时,可以不执行CCA,这样第一反馈信息的传输机会得以保证,终端设备可以在第三上行子帧不传输第一反馈信息。这里的“一个下行突发“可以是第一下行子帧集合所在的至少一个下行突发中包括的下行突发。
需要说明一下,所述第三上行子帧所在的上行突发与所述第一上行子帧所在的上行突发,可以是相同的,也可以是不同。所述第三上行子帧可以是所述第三上行子帧所在的上行突发中的最后一个或者倒数第二个上行子帧,当所述第三上行子帧所在的上行突发与所述第一上行子帧所在的上行突发不是一个上行突发时,所述第三上行子帧还可以是所述第三上行子帧所在的上行突发中的第一个上行子帧;或者,可选地,所述第三上行子帧是用于上行数据或信息传输的时间长度不小于特定阈值的上行子帧,在本发明做不做具体限定。
通过执行上述步骤,可以根据第一反馈信息传输成功的几率,确定第三反馈信息传输的内容,能尽可能减小第三上行子帧用于传输第三反馈信息的开销。
在本发明实施例中,作为一种可选的实施方式,终端设备确定第四上行子帧,并根据第四上行子帧对应的重叠码本指示信息,确定与第四上行子帧相关联的第四下行子帧集合,是否包括第一下行子帧集合;或者说,终端设备确定第四上行子帧,并根据第四上行子帧对应的重叠码本指示信息,确定在所述第四上行子帧传输的反馈信息中是否包括第一反馈信息。可选地,除了“与所述第二下行子帧集合相关联,第一下行子帧集合为所述第二下行子帧集合的子集”之外,第四上行子帧的特征可以与第二上行子帧特征类似,例如,可以为第一上行子帧所在的下行突发中的最后一个或者倒数第二个子帧;或者,第四上行子帧与第一上行子帧在同一个上行突发中。
需要说明一下,所述第四上行子帧所在的上行突发与所述第一上行子帧所在的上行突发,可以是相同的,也可以是不同的。所述第四上行子帧可以是所
述第四上行子帧所在的上行突发中的最后一个或者倒数第二个上行子帧,当所述第四上行子帧所在的上行突发与所述第一上行子帧所在的上行突发不是一个上行突发时,所述第四上行子帧还可以是所述第四上行子帧所在的上行突发中的第一个上行子帧;或者,可选地,所述第四上行子帧是用于上行数据或信息传输的时间长度不小于特定阈值的上行子帧,在本发明做不做具体限定。
作为一种可选的实施方式,所述终端设备在所述第一上行信道上向所述接入网设备发送所述第一反馈信息之前,还包括:
所述终端设备接收所述接入网设备发送的反馈信息承载指示信息,所述反馈信息承载指示信息用于指示所述终端设备是否在所述第一上行信道上发送所述第一反馈信息。
例如,如果终端设备被调度了几个连续的UL子帧,即使每个上行子帧都可以反馈下行数据对应的HARQ-ACK,也可以通过该反馈信息承载指示信息,指示终端设备在最后的UL子帧反馈。如图4F所示,尽管对应下行突发中的每个下行子帧都有一个对应的上行子帧可以反馈HARQ-ACK,但是从资源开销来看,接入网设备可以通过反馈信息承载指示信息,指示终端设备哪些上行子帧包括HARQ-ACK的反馈资源。当前LTE系统中的反馈信息一般传输在某个上行子帧中的PUCCH中,而该PUCCH在频域上一般占用一个资源块(英文:Resource Block,RB),此时的资源开销不高,考虑到一个20MHz的载波中在频域上有100个资源块。但是,在非授权频谱的载波上的信息发送需要占用一定的频域资源的比例,比如一个接入网设备或一个终端设备在某个非授权频谱的载波上的一次信息发送需要至少占用80%的频域资源范围,以该载波的总共100个资源块为例,则需要占用80%的频域资源范围。此外,非授权频谱上的信息发送还收到功率谱密度的限制,一般在1MHz带宽内的发送功率不可以超过10dBm,因此为了提高信息发送的功率效率,以及上述80%频域资源的占用范围,一种频域资源占用方式为一个物理上行控制信道占用10个资源块,该10个资源块在频域上的相邻资源块间距为10个资源块。这样就导致非授权频谱上的一个物理上行控制信道的资源占用开销较当前LTE系统要显著增加。通过接入网设备指定发送反馈信息的时序位置,可以避免终端设备在所有可以发送反馈信息的上行子帧中都发送反馈信息,从而节省资源。
可选地,该反馈信息承载指示信息可以承载在UL grant中,或者也可以承载在公共控制信令中,例如承载在与第一上行子帧所在的上行突发之前的一个下行突发或多个下行突发包括的下行子帧中;又例如承载在与第一上行子帧所在的上行突发之前的一个下行突发或多个下行突发包括的最后一个或者倒数第二个下行子帧中。可选地,该公共控制信息还可以用于指示包括该公共控制信息在内的下行突发的结束时刻。
通过执行上述步骤,可以节省第一上行子帧中用于传输第一反馈信息的资源开销,保证数据传输效率。
需要说明的是,对于第二上行子帧、第三上行子帧、第四上行子帧也可以有相同的指示信息。也就是说,
作为一种可选的实施方式,所述终端设备在所述第二上行信道上向所述接入网设备发送所述第二反馈信息之前,还包括:
所述终端设备接收所述接入网设备发送的反馈信息承载指示信息,所述反馈信息承载指示信息用于指示所述终端设备是否在所述第二上行信道上发送所述第二反馈信息。
作为一种可选的实施方式,所述终端设备在所述第三上行信道上向所述接入网设备发送所述第三反馈信息之前,还包括:
所述终端设备接收所述接入网设备发送的反馈信息承载指示信息,所述反馈信息承载指示信息用于指示所述终端设备是否在所述第三上行信道上发送所述第三反馈信息。
作为一种可选的实施方式,所述终端设备在所述第四上行信道上向所述接入网设备发送所述第四反馈信息之前,还包括:
所述终端设备接收所述接入网设备发送的反馈信息承载指示信息,所述反馈信息承载指示信息用于指示所述终端设备是否在所述第四上行信道上发送所述第四反馈信息。
此外,下面描述的子帧配置指示信息,同样地对第二上行子帧、第三上行子帧、第四上行子帧也有类似的描述。
作为一种可选的实施方式,所述终端设备确定第一下行子帧集合与第一上行子帧相关联,包括:
所述终端设备根据所述至少一个下行突发中的每个下行突发对应的下行子帧配置指示信息以及下行数据与反馈信息的定时关系确定第一下行子帧集合与第一上行子帧相关联。
作为一种可选的实施方式,所述终端设备确定第二下行子帧集合与第二上行子帧相关联,包括:
所述终端设备根据所述至少一个下行突发中的每个下行突发对应的下行子帧配置指示信息以及下行数据与反馈信息的定时关系确定第二下行子帧集合与第二上行子帧相关联。
作为一种可选的实施方式,所述终端设备确定第三下行子帧集合与第三上行子帧相关联,包括:
所述终端设备根据所述至少一个下行突发中的每个下行突发对应的下行子帧配置指示信息以及下行数据与反馈信息的定时关系确定第三下行子帧集合与第三上行子帧相关联。
下述以所述终端设备根据所述至少一个下行突发中的每个下行突发对应的下行子帧配置指示信息以及下行数据与反馈信息的定时关系确定所述第一下行子帧集合与所述第一上行子帧相关联为例进行说明。
在本发明实施例中,所述终端设备根据所述至少一个下行突发中的每个下行突发对应的下行子帧配置指示信息以及下行数据与反馈信息的定时关系确定第一下行子帧集合与第一上行子帧相关联,可以包括:所述终端设备根据所述至少一个下行突发中的每个下行突发对应的下行子帧配置指示信息以及下行数据与反馈信息的定时关系,确定与所述第一上行子帧相关联的所述第一下行子帧集合;也可以包括:所述终端设备根据所述至少一个下行突发中的每个下行突发对应的下行子帧配置指示信息以及下行数据与反馈信息的定时关系,确定与所述第一下行子帧集合相关联的所述第一上行子帧。
在本发明实施例中,作为一种可选的实施方式,所述下行子帧配置指示信息用于指示该下行子帧配置指示信息所对应的下行突发中包括的全部下行子帧个数,这里,该下行子帧配置指示信息所对应的下行突发,可以是包括该下行子帧配置指示信息在内的下行突发。其中下行突发中包括的下行子帧,用于下行数据传输的时间长度可以等于一个下行子帧的时间长度例如1ms,用于下
行数据传输的时间长度也可以小于一个下行子帧的时间长度例如小于1ms。如图4P和4Q中的下行突发包括的最后一个下行子帧用于下行数据或下行信息传输的时间长度小于1个下行子帧的时间长度。
所述下行子帧配置指示信息用于指示该下行子帧配置指示信息所对应的下行突发中包括的全部下行子帧个数或者全部下行子帧,指示全部下行子帧,可以包括指示下行子帧的时间位置,该下行子帧的时间位置可以用该下行子帧的子帧标号表示。图4P中,终端设备可以在图4P所示的一个下行突发中的一个或多个子帧中接收到该下行子帧配置指示信息,该下行子帧配置指示信息指示该下行突发中包括6个下行子帧。可选地,终端设备确定第一上行子帧之后,可以根据HARQ定时关系,将在第一上行子帧之前且与第一上行子帧之间满足HARQ定时关系的所有下行子帧作为与第一上行子帧相关联的第一下行子帧集合,图4P中,假设终端设备确定一个上行突发中的第一个上行子帧为第一上行子帧,那么终端设备可以确定一个下行突发中包括的第一个、第二个和第三个下行子帧,为与该第一上行子帧相关联的第一下行子帧集合包括的下行子帧。进一步地,终端设备还可以确定与第一上行子帧在同一个上行突发的其他上行子帧,也可以用于反馈图4P中的一个下行突发包括的下行数据对应的反馈信息即HARQ-ACK信息,该上行子帧反馈的HARQ-ACK信息是否包括第一下行子帧集合的下行数据对应的HARQ-ACK信息,可以通过显式信令指示,也可以通过隐式方式获知,例如,终端设备可以根据重叠码本指示信息,确定该上行子帧是第二上行子帧还是第三上行子帧。
又例如,终端设备如果确定第二上行子帧为上行突发中的最后一个上行子帧,那么终端设备根据HARQ定时关系,以及结合下行子帧配置指示信息,可以确定一个下行突发中的包括的第一、二、三、四、五、六个下行子帧均为与该第二上行子帧相关联的第二下行子帧集合包括的下行子帧。或者,可选地,终端设备如果确定第三上行子帧为上行突发中的最后一个上行子帧,那么终端设备根据HARQ定时关系,以及结合下行子帧配置指示信息,可以确定包括该下行子帧配置指示信息的下行突发中包括6个下行子帧,终端设备可以将这6个下行子帧中属于第一下行子帧集合的下行子帧(即第一个、第二个、第三个下行子帧)排除,剩余的下行子帧,即图4P中一个下行突发包括的第四个、
第五个、第六个下行子帧作为与第三上行子帧相关联的第三下行子帧集合。
图4P中,终端设备可以在图4P所示的一个下行突发中的一个或多个子帧中接收到该下行子帧配置指示信息,该下行子帧配置指示信息指示该下行突发中包括6个下行子帧。终端设备根据该下行子帧配置指示信息,确定该下行突发包括6个下行子帧。如果终端设备确定这6个下行子帧中的第一个、第二个、第三个下行子帧为第一下行子帧集合包括的下行子帧,那么考虑到HARQ定时,终端设备可以将与第三个下行子帧满足HARQ定时的最近的上行子帧,确定为第一上行子帧,例如图4P中,考虑HARQ定时为4ms;进一步可选地,如果终端设备确定这6个下行子帧为第二下行子帧集合包括的下行子帧,那么考虑到HARQ定时,终端设备可以将与第六个下行子帧满足HARQ定时的最近的上行子帧确定为第二上行子帧;或者,如果终端设备确定一个下行突发中包括的第四个、第五个、第六个下行子帧为第三下行子帧集合包括的下行子帧,那么考虑到HARQ定时,终端设备可以将与第六个下行子帧满足HARQ定时的最近的上行子帧确定为第三上行子帧。
图4Q给出了另外一种下行子帧集合与上行子帧的关联关系。作为一种可选的实施方式,图4Q中,终端设备根据第一下行突发和第二下行突发分别包括的下行子帧配置指示信息,确定第一下行突发包括2个下行子帧,第二下行突发包括4个下行子帧,如果终端设备可以确定第二上行突发的第一个上行子帧为第一上行子帧,那么终端设备可以根据HARQ定时关系,以及结合下行子帧配置指示信息,确定第一下行突发中包括的2个下行子帧和第二下行突发中包括的第一个下行子帧为与第一上行子帧相关联的第一下行子帧集合中包括的下行子帧;如果终端设备确定第二上行突发中的最后一个上行子帧为可以反馈HARQ-ACK的子帧,那么根据HARQ定时关系,一方面,终端设备可以确定与最后一个上行子帧相关联的下行子帧包括第一下行突发中2个下行子帧和第二下行突发中的4个下行子帧,这种情况下,最后一个上行子帧可以对应本发明实施例中的第二上行子帧;又或者,终端设备可以确定与最后一个上行子帧相关联的下行子帧包括第二下行突发中的第二个、第三个和第四个下行子帧,这种情况下,最后一个上行子帧可以对应本发明实施例中的第三上行子帧。图4Q的结构形式同样也适用于终端设备根据下行子帧配置指示信息以及
HARQ定时关系,确定与第一(二或三)下行子帧集合相关联的第一(二或三)上行子帧,在此不做具体限定。
利用下行子帧配置指示信息确定下行突发包括的下行子帧个数,相对于终端设备通过检测参考信号(例如小区特定参考信号CRS,Cell-specfic reference signal)的有无来确定下行突发包括的下行子帧个数,传输可靠性更高,这样可以保证接入网设备与终端设备对下行突发中包括的下行子帧个数理解一致,从而保证终端设备对于下行子帧的下行数据反馈的HARQ-ACK信息与接入网设备的理解一致。
在本发明实施例中,作为另外一种可选的实施方式,所述下行子帧配置指示信息还用于指示所述下行子帧配置指示信息所对应的下行突发中的一部分下行子帧个数或一部分下行子帧。指示一部分下行子帧,可以包括指示该一部分下行子帧的时间位置,该一部分下行子帧的时间位置可以用该一部分下行子帧分别对应的子帧标号表示。例如,所述下行子帧配置指示信息还可以用于指示,假设包括该下行子帧配置指示信息的下行突发为第一下行突发,包括该下行子帧配置指示信息的子帧为子帧n,那么该下行子帧配置指示信息还可以用于指示在第一下行突发中包括的第一个下行子帧到子帧n所包括的子帧个数。进一步可选地,该下行子帧配置指示信息还可以用于指示第一下行子帧集合。例如图4P中,假设终端设备在一个下行突发中的第四个下行子帧中收到所述下行子帧配置指示信息,则该下行子帧配置指示信息可以用于指示该下行突发中的下行子帧个数为4,进一步可选地,终端设备可以将这4个下行子帧作为第一下行子帧集合;假设终端设备在一个下行突发中的第五个下行子帧中收到所述下行子帧配置指示信息,则该下行子帧配置指示信息可以用于指示该下行突发中的下行子帧个数为5。其他根据该下行子帧配置指示信息以及反馈信息的定时关系(例如HARQ定时关系)同前所述,在此不做赘述。需要说明的是,在本发明实施例中,下行数据与反馈信息的定时关系可以是预配置的,也可以是接入网设备通知的,不做具体限定。
在本发明实施例中,作为另外一种可选的实施方法,所述下行子帧配置指示信息还用于指示该下行子帧配置指示信息所在的下行突发。例如,通过该下行子帧配置指示信息,可以指示该下行子帧配置指示信息所在的下行突发的起
始位置和/或结束位置。终端设备通过接收所述下行子帧配置指示信息,可以识别下行子帧配置指示信息所在的下行突发。例如,如图4P所示,假设终端设备在一个下行突发的最后一个下行子帧接收到该下行子帧配置指示信息,且该下行子帧配置指示信息指示该下行突发中包括6个下行子帧,那么终端设备就可以确定该下行突发的起始位置是位于最后一个下行子帧的子帧起始边界之前且距离该子帧起始边界5个子帧(或者5ms)对应的时间位置。
在本发明实施例中,作为另外一种可选的实施方式,所述下行子帧配置指示信息还用于指示所述第一下行子帧集合。
需要说明的是,通过每个下行突发对应的下行子帧配置指示信息,以及下行数据与反馈信息的定时关系确定所述第一下行子帧集合与所述第一上行子帧相关联,该确定方法也适用于确定所述第二下行子帧集合与所述第二上行子帧相关联,也适用于确定所述第三下行子帧集合与所述第三上行子帧相关联。
通过执行上述步骤,可以实现终端设备对第一下行子帧集合的可靠检测,进而可以在第一上行子帧传输正确的第一反馈信息。
可选的,所述下行子帧配置指示信息包含在所述至少一个下行突发中的每个下行突发中的倒数第一个和/或倒数第二个下行子帧中。这样做的好处在于:可以更好地适用于非授权频谱上灵活的上下行配置,这是因为,将该下行子帧配置指示信息承载在倒数第一个和/或倒数第二个下行子帧,可以使得该下行子帧配置指示信息对应的下行突发的下行子帧个数的变化达到最大。
可选地,所述下行子帧配置指示信息承载在物理层公共控制信令中,进一步可选地,该物理层公共控制信息还可以用于指示所述下行子帧配置指示信息所对应的下行突发的结束时刻,例如可以采用小区公共RNTI无线网络临时识别(英文:Cell Common Radio Network Temporary Identity,CC-RNTI)进行加扰。
可选的,所述下行子帧配置指示信息用于指示所述下行子帧配置指示信息所在的下行突发中的下行子帧数量。
通过执行上述步骤,终端设备根据接收到的第一下行子帧集合来确定与之关联的第一上行子帧,从而在第一上行子帧中传送第一下行子帧集合对应的反馈信息,可以满足U-LTE系统中灵活的上下行配置,能够在U-LTE场景下保
证终端设备合理地发送ACK/NACK反馈信息,并且通过在第一上行子帧中承载多个下行数据对应的反馈信息,可以提高传输的资源利用率,避免资源浪费。
