  • This invention relates generally to reducing air interface latency in a wireless communication system and, more specifically, relates to reducing air interface latency by providing uplink control signaling support for UEs configured to operate in a low-latency configuration.
  • This invention relates to LTE evolution towards reduced air interface latency, which is part of LTE Rel-13/14. More specifically, the invention provides a needed uplink control signalling support, especially HARQ-ACK channel support, for UEs configured to operate in low-latency configuration.
  • a related Rel-13 study item (RP-150465) has been approved at the TSG RAN#67, March 2015.
  • RAN1 #83 notes that with regards to TTI shortening and reduced processing times the performance of TTI lengths between 0.5ms and one OFDM symbol should be studied taking into account an impact on reference signals and physical layer control signalling. It is also noted that backwards compatibility shall be preserved to allow normal operation of pre-Rel 13 UEs on the same carrier.
  • a solution has been proposed for 1 or 2 bit HARQ ACK transmission utilizing two PUCCH format 2 resources, one on each edge of the spectrum, and applying frequency hopping between those resources.
  • this solution does not cover the cases where larger HARQ-ACK payloads need to be supported.
  • PUCCH with 1 -symbol TTI could be constructed by summing a base sequence with a cyclically shifted and QPSK modulated version of the same sequence. Furthermore, it was noted that multiple QPSK symbols could be transmitted by summing to the base sequence multiple modulated and cyclically shifted base sequences.
  • the 1 -symbol scheme could be applied separately to each of the two symbol in the TTI, which would allow obtaining frequency diversity by making a frequency hop between the symbols.
  • the preferred solution should support TTI lengths between 0.5ms and two DFT-S-OFDM symbols, and preserve backwards compatibility. That is, the solution should allow for multiplexing of short TTI and normal TTI UEs on the same physical resource blocks and maximize the performance in considered operation scenarios.
  • PUCCH consists of frequency resource of one resource block (12 subcarriers) and time resource of one subframe.
  • the transmission of ACK/NACK spans the full 1 ms subframe.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates slot-based (i.e. per 0.5 millisecond) frequency hopping on the band edges symmetrically over the center frequency as is typically used on PUCCH. Frequency hopping provides the necessary frequency diversity needed for delivering critical control signaling.
  • Format 11 ⁇ a/1 b is used to convey SR and HARQ-ACK. It is based on the
  • Format 2/2a 2b is used to convey periodic CSI (with (2a, 2b) or without (2) HARQ- ACK). It utilizes only CAZAC sequence modulation and is capable of conveying 5 symbols per slot (20 coded bits + 1 or 2 ACK/NACK bits per subframe).
  • Format 3 introduced in Rel-10 is used to convey Carrier Aggregation HARQ-ACK (with and without CQI / SR). Format 3 based on the combination of DFT-S-OFDMA and block-wise spreading and conveys 12 information symbols (24 bits) per slot, i.e. 48 bits per subframe. 4) Format 4 introduced in Rel-13 utilizes DFT-S-OFDMA without any spreading.
  • the bandwidth is configurable and can be up to 10 PRBs. This allows for support of large payloads in the order of hundreds of bits.
  • Format 5 introduced in Rel-13 utilizes 1 PRB and spreading with Orthogonal Cover Codes of length 2 within each DFT-S-OFDM symbol to allow for CDM multiplexing of two users. Format 5 is suitable for payload sizes in the order of 50 bits.
  • FIG. 3 shows the logical split between different PUCCH formats and the way in which the PUCCH is configured in the LTE Rel-8 specifications.
