Method and device for configuring conversion interval in communication system
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for configuring a transition interval in a communication system using an OFDM (Orthogonal frequency division Multiplexing) technology.
Background
With the development of mobile internet and the popularization of smart phones, the demand of mobile data traffic is rapidly increasing, and the rapidly increasing data traffic poses a serious challenge to the transmission capability of a mobile communication network. Mobile data traffic will also double each year and ten years will double by one thousand times as predicted by authorities within the next decade (2011-.
Most mobile data services mainly occur in indoor and hot spot environments, and are reflected in a nomadic/local wireless access scene. Statistically, nearly 70% of the mobile data traffic currently occurs indoors, and this proportion will continue to increase, with an expectation that it will exceed 80% by 2012. The data service is mainly internet service, and has a single requirement on the service quality, which is far lower than the requirement on the service quality of the traditional telecommunication service. The cellular mobile communication system is mainly designed for the traditional telecommunication service of high-speed movement and seamless switching, and when the cellular mobile communication system bears the large-flow low-speed IP (internet protocol) data packet service, the efficiency is low and the cost is overhigh.
Currently, the existing solutions suitable for nomadic/local wireless data access mainly include IEEE (Institute of electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.11 series standards, and the new shore line company in China dominates the NUHT (Next Ultra-High throughput) standard. The NUHT standard employs OFDM technology and configures a frame structure of TDD, and a transition interval (DGI) from downlink to uplink and a transition interval (UGI) from uplink to downlink are described using an integer multiple of an OFDM symbol length. Considering that the requirements of the base station (Access Point, AP, Access Point) and the terminal for the transition delay are not consistent, the DGI time length is generally required to be greater than UGI. Since the types of terminals in indoor and hot spot environments are very different and the requirements for conversion delay are not the same, if the length of an OFDM symbol is taken as the minimum time unit for describing DGI and UGI, a part of resources are wasted due to excessively large quantization granularity, as shown in fig. 1, a reasonable DGI value is T1 after the terminal is considered to have the requirements for conversion delay, but since the DGI is configured to be an integer multiple of the length of the OFDM symbol, only 2 OFDM symbols can be allocated to the DGI, which causes waste of resources. When a frame structure with a fixed length is used, a time-frequency resource smaller than the OFDM symbol length is generated because the length of the frame is not necessarily an integer multiple of the OFDM symbol length, and the use of the resource is considered in the design of the DGI and the UGI.
Based on the above analysis, the present invention provides a method for designing an uplink/downlink transition interval in a communication system, which can flexibly meet the requirements of a base station and a terminal for transition delay in different scenarios, and can use time-frequency resources to the maximum extent without causing resource waste.
