Abstract
Description
将来の無線通信システムにおいて、端末のアンテナ/アンテナポート(以下、アンテナポートとも記す)数を増やして通信のスループットの向上を図ることが検討されている。一方で、UEにおけるアンテナポート数を増やす場合、アンテナポート間の距離が必要となるため、アンテナポート数の増加はUEのサイズ等により制限される。
UEは、所定の同期信号に基づいて、UE間/アンテナポート間の同期を行うように制御してもよい。
UEは、UE協調MIMOを適用する他のUEと所定情報を共有するように制御してもよい。所定情報は、送信データ、制御情報、及びチャネル状態情報の少なくとも一つであってもよい。送信データは、送信データ情報、ULデータ、DLデータ、UL-SCH、又はDL-SCHと読み替えられてもよい。
UE協調MIMOを利用して送信/受信が行われる場合、所定のパラメータ/構成がUE間/アンテナポート間で共有されるように制御されてもよい。この場合、あるパラメータ/構成(例えば、第1のパラメータ/構成)は、UE間/アンテナポート間で共通に設定されてもよい。一方で、他のパラメータ/構成(例えば、第2のパラメータ/構成)は、UE間/アンテナポート間で別々に(例えば、異なって)設定されてもよい。
UE協調MIMOを利用して送信/受信が行われる場合、基地局は、所定のDCIを利用して、協調して送信を行う複数のUEのうち少なくとも一つのUEにスケジュールに関する情報を送信する。
UL送信指示/スケジュールに利用されるDCIは、UE固有のDCIであってもよい。つまり、UEは、UE毎に個別のDCIでスケジュールされてもよい(図7A参照)。UEは、自端末宛てのスケジュール情報を利用して、他のUEと協調してデータの送信(例えば、UL間協調MIMO送信)を行う。
図7Aでは、UE#1からUE#2に対して送信データ等の情報を通知(情報共有)する場合を示したが、これに限られない。UE#2からUE#1に対しても送信データ等の情報を通知(情報共有)してもよい(図7B参照)。
UL送信指示/スケジュールに利用されるDCIは、複数のUEのうち一部のUEに対してのみ送信されてもよい。つまり、一部のUEに対してのみUE個別のDCIでスケジュールに関する情報が通知されてもよい(図8A参照)。スケジュールに関する情報は、当該DCIが送信されるUEに対するスケジュールに関する情報に加えて、他の端末に対するスケジュールに関する情報が含まれていてもよい。
図8Aでは、UE#1からUE#2に対して送信データ等の情報を通知(情報共有)する場合を示したが、これに限られない。UE#2からUE#1に対しても送信データ等の情報を通知(情報共有)してもよい(図8B参照)。
UL送信指示/スケジュールに利用されるDCIは、複数UEに共通のDCI(例えば、グループコモンDCI)であってもよい。つまり、グループコモンDCIにより、複数のUE(例えば、UE#1とUE#2)に対してスケジュールに関する情報が通知されてもよい(図9A参照)。
図9Aでは、UE#1からUE#2に対して送信データ等の情報を通知(情報共有)する場合を示したが、これに限られない。UE#2からUE#1に対しても送信データ等の情報を通知(情報共有)してもよい(図9B参照)。
1つのDCIにおいて、UE毎に個別DCIフィールドが規定されてもよい(図10A参照)。図10Aでは、DCIにおいて、TPMIフィールドがUE毎に設定される場合を示している。例えば、既存のDCIフィールドにおいて、TPMIフィールドを拡張して、UE毎に異なるTPMIを指示可能となるフィールドが設定されてもよい。
UE間に共通のDCIフィールドにおいてUE毎に異なる値が通知されてもよい(図10B参照)。例えば、上位レイヤシグナリング等により各DCIのコードポイント(又は、DCIフィールドの各ビット値)に対する情報がUE毎に設定されてもよい。
UE間で協調して送信されるUL送信(例えば、PUSCH送信)用に所定のDCIフォーマットが規定されてもよい。あるいは、UE間の信号送信(例えば、情報共有)に利用するリソース割当て/スケジュール用に所定のDCIフォーマットが規定されてもよい。所定のDCIフォーマットは、既存のDCIフォーマットにおいてビットの読み替え等により構成されてもよい。
第4の実施形態では、1つのDCI(又は、PDCCH)を利用して、下記の動作1、動作2を行う場合を示した。
動作1:UE協調PUSCHのスケジュールとUE間信号送信リソースの割り当て
動作2:UE#1のPUSCH(例えば、PUSCHリソース)のスケジュールとUE#2のPUSCHのスケジュール
UE協調MIMOを利用してUL送信を行う場合、UEは、物理レイヤの送信データを含むデータ/制御情報を、所定単位/所定ユニットに基づいて、他のUEへ報告/通知/転送/情報共有(以下、転送/情報共有とも記す)するように制御してもよい。
UE(例えば、UE#1)が他UE(例えば、UE#2)への転送/情報共有を行う場合、3GPP以外の他の通信システムの仕組み/メカニズムを利用してもよい。例えば、UE#1は、無線RAN(例えば、WiFi)、近距離間データ通信(例えば、Bluetooth)を利用して、UE#2に所定情報を送信するように制御してもよい(図14参照)。UEが他の通信システムの仕組み/メカニズムを利用して所定情報を通知することは、UEがUE間通信を目的とした上位レイヤへ転送する物理レイヤ情報を送信することに相当してもよい。UE#2は、上位レイヤから受信した物理レイヤ情報をUL-SCHで送信するように制御してもよい。
UE-UE間で自律的にリソースを選択して送信が制御される場合、基地局が各UEに上位レイヤシグナリングを利用してリソースプールを設定してもよい。UEは、リソースプールに基づいて自律的にリソースを選択して他のUEへの送信を行ってもよい(図16A、図16B参照)。
基地局がUE-UE間の送信のリソースを選択する場合、基地局は、各UEにUE-UE間送信で利用するリソースを指示/スケジュールしてもよい。UEは、基地局からスケジュールされたリソースを利用してUE-UE間送信を制御してもよい(図17A、図17B参照)。
UE協調MIMOを利用して通信を行う場合、基地局は、UEから送信されるUL信号に基づいて、各UEと当該基地局間のチャネル情報を把握してもよい。UL信号は、所定の参照信号(例えば、SRS)であってもよいし、他の信号であってもよい。
図21では、1つのUL信号/ULチャネルに複数のビーム(例えば、空間関係/TCI状態/疑似コロケーション)を設定する場合を示したがこれに限られない。各UL信号/ULチャネルに1つのビーム(例えば、空間関係/TCI状態/疑似コロケーション)が設定されてもよい(図22参照)。つまり、リソース毎に別々に(例えば、異なる)TCI状態/空間関係/QCLが設定可能であってもよい。
UE協調MIMOを利用して通信を行う場合、各UEが送信するデータ(例えば、TB/CW/CB単位)について送信をミスした場合(例えば、基地局で誤りが検出された場合)、所定の再送制御を行ってもよい。基地局は、CRCチェック又は誤り判定符号に基づいて再送指示をUEに指示してもよい。
どちらのULデータ(又は、どちらのUEが送信したULデータ)が誤ったかに関わらず、データ送信元のUE(例えば、UE#1)がULデータを再送するように制御してもよい(図23参照)。図23では、UE#1のULデータ(例えば、CB#1+CB#2)のうち、CB#1をUE#1(又は、UE#1のアンテナポート)から送信し、CB#2をUE#2(又は、UE#2のアンテナポート)から送信する場合を示している。
どちらのULデータ(又は、どちらのUEが送信したULデータ)が誤ったかに基づいて、再送を行うUEが決定/選択されてもよい。
初回送信時に送信したCBの再送指示(又は、当該CBが誤りである旨)を基地局から通知されたUE(又は、送信をミスしたUE)は、CBを再送するように制御してもよい。
初回送信時に送信したCBの再送指示(又は、当該CBが誤りである旨)を基地局から通知されたUE(又は、送信をミスしたUE)は、CBを再送しない(他のUEが誤ったCBを送信する)ように制御してもよい。
上記実施形態は、UE能力シグナリング(例えば、UE capability signaling)でUEがサポートを報告したUEに限定して適用されてもよい。また、上記実施形態において、UE#1のデータの一部をUE#2からも送信させる構成を示したが、当該構成をベースとして、UE#2からU##1へのデータ転送可否(又は、双方向のデータ転送可否)については、別のUE能力シグナリングによりサポート可否が報告されてもよい。
