Description

Method and auxiliary method for wireless communication management of new carrier type

technical field

The invention relates to wireless communication, in particular to wireless communication management for a new carrier type (New Carrier Type).

Background technique

In Release 11 and Release 12 of LTE-A, a new work item "New Carrier Type" (NCT for short) was introduced to enhance spectral efficiency. Generally speaking, macro base stations use the original carrier to achieve Large coverage, while NCT base stations/cells use new carrier types to achieve high data throughput. In this way, support for heterogeneous networks can be realized, energy saving can be achieved, and backward compatibility to user equipment of previous versions can be provided. Some traditional channels, such as CRS (Cell Specific Reference Signal), PBCH (Physical Broadcast Channel), synchronization channel, etc., are at least partially removed from this new carrier type to improve the efficiency of spectrum utilization, and are different from the Release 11 design The advantage is that the design of the new carrier type does not need to consider the experience of the traditional UE (that is, it does not need to consider the compatibility with the traditional UE). Currently, two scenarios are discussed in NCT, referred to as synchronous (SYNC) NCT and non-synchronous (un-SYNC) NCT, respectively. Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of a synchronous NCT, in which the coverage areas of a traditional carrier cell (such as a cell governed by a macro eNB) and a new type of carrier cell (such as a cell governed by a micro NCT eNB) approximately overlap, and the traditional carrier and The frequency bands of the new types of carriers are relatively close, for example, adjacent and continuous frequency bands. Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of an asynchronous NCT, where the traditional carrier cell and the new type carrier cell have different coverage areas, and the traditional carrier and the new type carrier may also be far apart in the frequency band.

During network operation, the user equipment needs to perform radio communication management, such as radio link monitoring (RLM) for a serving cell and radio resource management (RRM) for neighboring cells. In NCT, the user equipment also needs to monitor the radio link from the base station of the serving NCT cell to the user equipment, and manage the radio resources from the adjacent NCT cell to the user equipment. In order to perform wireless communication management, one implementation method is to use a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) sent by the NCT cell to perform measurement. Some specific CSI-RS ports, eg (TS36.211 based) ports 15 and/or 16 are configured for CSI-RS based RLM/RRM. The disadvantage of this solution is that the measured CSI-RS effective symbols are much less than the traditional CRS symbols, which will cause a certain deviation between the measurement results of the wireless communication management and the link quality of the actual channel. Another method for wireless communication management is to use uplink signaling, such as ranging reference signal (SRS). However, this method is quite different from traditional RLM/RRM measurement, and the process of RLM/RRM measurement needs to be redefined and designed. Also, some coordination must be done between cells when using SRS for RLM/RRM measurements.

Contents of the invention

Based on the aforementioned shortcomings of the prior art, a new method for wireless communication management of NCT is needed in the field of NCT.

For non-synchronous NCT, PSS (Primary Synchronization Signal) and SSS (Secondary Synchronization Signal) are kept in NCT to ensure the initial synchronization of UE, and the position of the PSS/SSS will be changed to avoid the demodulation reference signal (DM-RS). The traditional CRS is retained in a reduced form as Reduced CRS (Reduced-CRS) for time and frequency domain synchronization tracking. In one implementation, the simplified cell-specific reference signal has a cycle of 5 milliseconds and is one reference signal port within a subframe (each physical resource block includes CRS port 0 of version 8 and CRS sequence of version 8 ), while standardization has not yet been specified for the frequency domain, which can occupy the entire frequency band or part of the frequency band. For synchronous NCT, the standardization has not specified PSS/SSS and CRS, but it is more certain that the transmission of CRS in NCT will not be as frequent as in traditional carriers. Therefore, if CRS is configured in synchronous NCT, its CRS The configuration method of also belongs to the category of simplified cell-specific reference signals.

Since the reduced CRS is already configured, there is no need to exclude the reduced CRS from the RLM/RRM measurement. The inventive idea of the present invention is: in order to use reference signals more effectively and improve the accuracy of wireless communication management measurement results: simultaneously measure the simplified CRS and CSI-RS, and combine the two measurement values to obtain the final measurement result.

Description of drawings

Other characteristics, objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent by reading the detailed description of non-limiting embodiments made with reference to the following drawings:

Fig. 1 is a kind of schematic diagram of synchronous NCT;

Fig. 2 is a kind of schematic diagram of asynchronous NCT;

Detailed ways

The present invention provides a method for wireless communication management of a new carrier type in a user equipment, which includes the following steps:

i. Measure the cell-specific reference signal of the new carrier type to obtain a first measurement value;

ii. Measure the channel state information reference signal of the new carrier type to obtain a second measurement value;

iii. Obtain a measurement result of wireless communication management of the new carrier type by combining the first measurement value and the second measurement value.

In a specific case, the new carrier type uses reduced cell-specific reference signals (Reduced-CRS). From the user equipment's point of view, a new carrier type cell (NCT cell) retains a PCID as a cell identifier and exists as an independent cell. In the embodiment of the present invention, the reduced cell-specific reference signal is used as one of the reference signals for RLM/RRM. In addition, since the simplified cell-specific references are sparsely distributed in the time domain and frequency domain, in order to make up for the lack of measurement accuracy, the present invention also proposes to use the channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) configured for the user equipment UE ) as another reference signal for RLM/RRM. Dedicated and non-overlapping CSI-RS ports can be configured to user equipment for RLM/RRM measurements. It can be understood that in an actual system, the user equipment UE can be configured to use multiple channel state information reference signals CSI-RS, some of which are used for other purposes such as CQI measurement, and the main focus of the present invention is to use these multiple CSI-RS Some of the CSI-RS in , are combined with CRS for RLM/RRM measurements. However, other uses of other CSI-RSs among the multiple CSI-RSs may not be very relevant to the present invention, and will not be repeated here.

As shown in FIG. 3, preferably, first, in step S30, the macro base station MeNB or the NCT base station (the control base station of the NCT cell) to which the user equipment UE belongs sends an instruction to perform wireless communication management to the user equipment UE, wherein the The instruction instructs the user equipment UE to combine the first measurement value of the simplified CRS of the NCT and the second measurement value of the CSI-RS of the NCT to obtain the measurement result of RLM/RRM. Preferably, the instruction can be sent through upper layer UE-specific RRC signaling. Correspondingly, in step S40, the user equipment UE receives the instruction.

Preferably, in the case that the simplified CRS can be set by the base station, in step S31, the macro base station MeNB or the NCT base station sends the configuration of the simplified CRS of the new carrier type to the user equipment UE, such as bandwidth, transmission cycle, etc. Preferably, the configuration can be sent through upper layer UE-specific RRC signaling. Correspondingly, in step S41, the user equipment UE receives the configuration of the simplified CRS. In an alternative implementation manner, the configuration of the simplified CRS has already been fixedly stored in the user equipment UE, and the steps S31 and S41 can be omitted.

Preferably, in the case that the CSI-RS can be set by the base station, in step S32, the macro base station MeNB or the NCT base station sends the configuration of the CSI-RS of the new carrier type to the user equipment UE, such as bandwidth, transmission cycle, etc. . Specifically, this configuration can be carried by CSI-RS subframe configuration information (CSI-RS-SubframeConfig), and the user equipment UE can determine the antenna port where the CSI-RS is located and the transmission cycle according to the sent CSI-RS-SubframeConfig information . Preferably, the configuration can be sent through upper layer UE-specific RRC signaling. Correspondingly, in step S42, the user equipment UE receives the configuration of the CSI-RS. The specific definition of the CSI-RS subframe configuration information CSI-RS-SubframeConfig can refer to the TS 36.211 specification, and the present invention will not repeat it here. In an alternative implementation manner, the configuration of the CSI-RS used for RLM/RRM has been fixedly stored in the user equipment UE, and the steps S32 and S42 can be omitted.

It should be noted that the user equipment UE can perform radio link monitoring (RLM) on the NCT cell to which it belongs, or perform radio resource management (RRM) on its adjacent NCT cells. Then the above instruction sent by the base station to the user equipment UE may be to perform RLM or RRM; correspondingly, the configuration of the simplified CRS and CSI-RS of the NCT sent by the base station to the user equipment UE may be for the user equipment UE The serving NCT cell may also be a neighboring NCT cell for the user equipment UE.

Preferably, the manner in which the user equipment UE combines the first measured value of the simplified CRS and the second measured value of the CSI-RS can also be configured by the base station. In this preferred implementation manner, in step S33, the macro base station MeNB or the NCT base station sends a combination manner for combining the first measurement value and the second measurement value to the user equipment. The combination methods provided by the base station can also have multiple implementations:

- the combination is fixed; or

- The combination method is variably determined by the base station according to the configuration of the simplified CRS and/or CSI-RS of the NCT. More specifically, the base station may determine the combination method according to the following conditions:

●According to the bandwidth of the simplified CRS, for example, when the bandwidth is greater than a certain threshold, the first measurement value of the simplified CRS accounts for a larger proportion; on the contrary, the second measurement value of the CSI-RS accounts for a larger proportion;

● According to the number of ports of the CSI-RS, for example, when the number of ports is greater than a certain threshold, the second measurement value of the CSI-RS takes a larger proportion; on the contrary, the first measurement value of the simplified CRS takes a larger proportion.

● According to the ratio between the bandwidth of the reduced CRS and the number of ports of the CSI-RS.

In a specific implementation manner, the combination manner is a weighted ratio α in which the first measurement value and the second measurement value are weighted.

Preferably, the combination manner can be sent to the user equipment through upper layer user equipment specific RRC signaling. In step S43, the user equipment UE receives this combination method. In an alternative implementation manner, the combination manner is determined by the user equipment UE itself, and steps S33 and S43 can be omitted.

Afterwards, the user equipment UE performs RLM/RRM measurement, which will be further described by taking FIG. 2 as an example.

As shown in Figure 2, cells A, B, and C are NCT cells, where the CSI-RS of cell A is configured to use antenna port 15 for RLM/RRM measurement, the CSI-RS of cell B uses antenna port 16, and the CSI-RS of cell C is configured to use antenna port 15 for RLM/RRM measurement. CSI-RS uses antenna port 17. Let the user equipment UE be served by cell B, and cells A and C are neighboring cells of the user equipment UE. Then the user equipment UE will perform RLM on NCT cell B, and perform RRM on NCT cells A and C.

Let the macro base station MeNB or the NCT base station of cell B have performed the aforementioned configuration interaction with the user equipment UE, that is, the base station has notified the user equipment of the CRS configuration and CSI-RS configuration of cells A, B, and C. Or, the CRS configuration and the CSI-RS configuration of the cells A, B and C are fixedly stored in the user equipment UE.

In step S43, the user equipment UE measures the CRS of the NCT according to the bandwidth and period of the CRS of the NCT, and obtains a first measurement value, denoted as Y _CRS . The method of measuring CRS and obtaining the measured value is well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be repeated here.

In step S44, the user equipment UE measures the CSI-RS of the NCT according to the bandwidth and period of the CSI-RS of the NCT, and obtains a second measurement value, denoted as Y _CSI . The method of measuring the CSI-RS and obtaining the measurement value is well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be repeated here.

In step S45, the user equipment UE combines the first measurement value Y _CRS and the second measurement value Y _CSI to obtain the measurement result of the RLM of the new carrier type. Wherein, the weighting method may be configured by the base station, or fixedly stored in the user equipment UE, or flexibly configured by the user equipment UE according to the simplified CRS and/or CSI-RS of the NCT similarly to the aforementioned step S33 And ok.

In one embodiment, the combination is a weighted ratio α. Then the RLM measurement result of the cell B is defined by the following equation with reference to the received signal strength RSRP:

${\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; RSRP</span>}}_{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; RLM</span>}}^{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; B</span>}}<span\; class="notranslate">\; =</span>\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; \&alpha;</span>}<span\; class="notranslate">\; \&Center\; Dot;</span>{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; Y</span>}}_{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; CRS</span>}}<span\; class="notranslate">\; +</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; (</span>\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; 1</span>}<span\; class="notranslate">\; -</span>\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; \&alpha;</span>}<span\; class="notranslate">\; )</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; \&Center\; Dot;</span>{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; Y</span>}}_{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; CSI</span>}}<span\; class="notranslate">\; -</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; -</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; -</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; (</span>\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; 1</span>}<span\; class="notranslate">\; )</span>$

Similarly, the user equipment UE can perform RRM on the cells A and C, let X and Z represent the measurement values of the cells A and C respectively, then the measurement results of the RRM of the cells A and C, the reference signal received strength RSRP are respectively:

${\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; RSRP</span>}}_{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; RRM</span>}}^{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; A</span>}}<span\; class="notranslate">\; =</span>\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; \&alpha;</span>}<span\; class="notranslate">\; \&CenterDot;</span>{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; x</span>}}_{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; CRS</span>}}<span\; class="notranslate">\; +</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; (</span>\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; 1</span>}<span\; class="notranslate">\; -</span>\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; \&alpha;</span>}<span\; class="notranslate">\; )</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; \&CenterDot;</span>{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; x</span>}}_{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; CSI</span>}}$

(2)

${\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; RSRP</span>}}_{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; RRM</span>}}^{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; C</span>}}<span\; class="notranslate">\; =</span>\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; \&alpha;</span>}<span\; class="notranslate">\; \&CenterDot;</span>{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; Z</span>}}_{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; CRS</span>}}<span\; class="notranslate">\; +</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; (</span>\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; 1</span>}<span\; class="notranslate">\; -</span>\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; \&alpha;</span>}<span\; class="notranslate">\; )</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; \&Center\; Dot;</span>{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; Z</span>}}_{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; CSI</span>}}$

Here, the measurement results in equations (1) and (2) are measurement results for each subframe. If it is necessary to further average the measurement results of multiple subframes in the time domain, for example similar to the layer 3 filter, the user equipment UE can average the measurement results of multiple subframes according to equations (1) and (2) . The specific manner is well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be repeated in this specification.

In another embodiment, the user equipment only uses the reduced CRS to perform RLM/RRM. The user equipment UE still uses antenna port 0 or port 1 of the CRS as a reference signal for RSRP and RSRQ measurement. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the base station sends an instruction to the user equipment UE through RRC signaling, and the instruction instructs the user equipment to perform wireless communication management for NCT and simplified CRS. Wherein, the base station performing the configuration may be the macro base station to which the user equipment belongs, or may be a new carrier type base station to which the user equipment belongs. Specifically, the instruction can be carried by a logical value in the RRC signaling. For example, when the logical value is true, it means that the simplified CRS is used for RLM/RRM, and when the logical value is false, it means that the simplified CRS is not used for wireless communication. manage.

Preferably, the wireless communication management performed by the user equipment may be performing radio link monitoring (RLM) on the NCT from the serving NCT cell, or performing radio resource management (RRM) on the NCTs from neighboring NCTs. In this case, two logic values are commanded for the serving NCT cell and the neighboring NCT cell respectively. It should be noted that the way the base station instructs the user equipment UE to perform RLM and RRM may be different, for example, the reduced CRS is used for RLM, but the reduced CRS is not used for RRM.

After receiving the instruction, the user equipment UE measures the simplified cell-specific reference signal of the new carrier type according to the bandwidth of the simplified CRS, and obtains the first measurement value as the measurement of the wireless communication management of the new carrier type result.

In one case, the simplified CRS is fixed, for example, the middle 6 physical resource blocks (PRBs) are fixedly used, and the configuration is pre-saved in the user equipment, then the user equipment reads the saved simplified CRS configuration , and measure the simplified CRS on the corresponding subframe and bandwidth.

Preferably, the bandwidth of the reduced CRS is also configurable. In this embodiment, the base station sends the reduced CRS bandwidth of the NCT to the user equipment through RRC signaling. In the case that the radio communication management performed by the user equipment is performing radio link monitoring (RLM) on the NCT from the serving NCT cell, the base station sends the bandwidth of the simplified CRS of the serving NCT cell. In the case that the user equipment performs radio resource management (RRM) on the NCT from the neighboring NCT cells, the base station sends the bandwidth of the reduced CRS of each neighboring NCT cell respectively.

It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined arbitrarily with each other.

Certainly, the present invention also can have other multiple embodiments, without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and deformations according to the present invention, but these corresponding changes All changes and modifications should belong to the scope of protection of the appended claims of the present invention.
