Specific implementation mode

It can be related in the mandate frequency spectrum with network to the user equipment (UE) of network communication by evolution node B (eNB) Carrier wave is used under the frequency of connection.In order to improve transmission performance, UE or eNB can be supplemented using exempting to authorize frequency spectrum on mandate frequency spectrum Transmission.For example, UE can send some uplink data transmissions on authorizing frequency spectrum, and sent exempting to authorize on frequency spectrum Some uplink data transmissions.From authorize frequency spectrum different, exempting from mandate frequency spectrum can be by network and equipment not controlled by the network It uses.For example, exempting to authorize frequency spectrum that can be used by network and equipment, such as according to identical wireless access technology (for example, another A operator) or different wireless access technology (for example, WiFi), according to not being to be passed by the scheduling of network settings to send It is defeated.Equipment not controlled by the network may increase noise or interference to exempting to authorize frequency.Increased noise or interference may drop The quality of the low transmission received at eNB.

Some transmission from UE can have priority more higher than other transmission.For example, voice or transmission of video can To have more guaranteed service quality (QoS).In order to provide guaranteed QoS for certain transmission, UE can be with scheduling authorization frequency Transmission in spectrum.For guaranteed qos, UE can transmit the buffer status of particular logical channel, and buffer status instruction will pass through The QoS of the what kind of information of logical channel transmission or logic channel.ENB can send uplink license to UE.On if Line link license is for the cell authorized in frequency spectrum, then UE can be with the uplink data of transmission logic channel, logic letter Road is configured so that the uplink license for authorizing the cell in frequency spectrum.If uplink license is to be directed to exempt to authorize in frequency spectrum Cell, then UE can be configured so that with the uplink data of transmission logic channel, the logic channel exempts from authorize frequency spectrum in The uplink of cell is permitted.

In some embodiments, logic channel is configurable to be permitted using only the uplink of the cell from mandate frequency spectrum Can, it permit using only the uplink from the cell for exempting to authorize frequency spectrum or using from the cell for authorizing and exempt to authorize frequency spectrum Uplink is permitted.In some embodiments, logic channel is configurable to whether the cell authorized in frequency spectrum can be used only Uplink license.Then, it is not limited only to any logic channel using the uplink license for authorizing the cell in frequency spectrum It is allowed to use the uplink license for authorizing and exempting to authorize the cell in frequency spectrum.In some embodiments, UE is based on by eNB The frame structure of configuration come identify cell be authorize frequency spectrum or exempt from authorize frequency spectrum in.For authorizing frequency spectrum, the frame knot of configuration Structure can be the frame structure Class1 (FS1) for frequency division duplex (FDD) or the frame structure type 2 for time division duplex (TDD) (FS2).For exempting to authorize frequency spectrum, the frame structure of configuration be the frame structure type 3 (FS3) for exempting from mandate cell.

It can using long term evolution (LTE) system for the frequency spectrum for being specially assigned to corresponding LTE service provider (or operator) To be referred to as authorizing the LTE or referred to as LTE in frequency spectrum.It is provided in response to the increase in demand to broadband wireless data attached Business is added, it can be by increasing the data throughout of LTE system via exempting from mandate frequency spectrum and authorizing spectrum transmissions data. Exempt to authorize the LTE system operated in frequency spectrum that can be referred to as exempting to authorize the LTE or LTE-U in frequency spectrum.Use carrier aggregation technology The system of integrated LTE and LTE-U can be referred to as using the mandate auxiliary access (LAA) of LTE or referred to as LAA.In LAA, One LTE carrier wave may be used as main serving cell, and one or more LTE-U carrier waves are used as auxiliary serving cell.

Compared with authorizing the wireless environment on frequency spectrum, exempt to authorize the wireless environment in frequency spectrum may be completely different.Exempt to authorize Frequency spectrum may include the various interference sources not controlled by network operator.For example, interference system may include other wireless access Technology (RAT) (for example, WLAN (WLAN) technology etc.), other operators LAA nodes etc..In extreme circumstances, by In strong jamming, high s/n ratio, low channel availability etc., the resource of some LAA cells may not there be use.In addition, some are exempted from Authorizing may support listem-before-talk (LBT) and discontinuous transmission (DTX) to meet regulatory requirements on carrier wave.If in the business of execution The characteristics of LAA cells are not fully considered when mapping, then this may influence some carrying service quality (QoS).For example, it may be possible to not Meet delay to require.In order to manage down link data, business mapping can be controlled by the realization of eNB.For example, eNB can To receive down link data from network to be supplied to UE.ENB can determine downlink chain based on the down link data of reception The buffer status of road logic channel.The additional information of such as QoS or data type can also be provided from network to eNB.Therefore, ENB can carry out priority ranking and mapping to down link data, to authorize or to exempt to be transmitted on mandate frequency spectrum, and Without carrying out additional interaction with UE.Therefore, UE may not have the supplementary features that management is mapped for receiving the business of data, Because business is mapped by eNB processing.

The available each carryings of UE have the one-to-one mapping with logic channel, and are configured to provide setting to UE QoS.In some embodiments, layer 1 frame structure type of the UE layers 1 (physical layer of UE) based on serving cell is accessed to UE media Uplink license of control (MAC) layer instruction from UE layers 1 be in mandate frequency spectrum serving cell or for exempting to award Weigh the serving cell in frequency spectrum.When executing new uplink transmission associated with uplink license, UE MAC layer applications Priority of logical channels sequencer procedure can be applied.Logic channel whether can use from authorize or exempt from authorize frequency spectrum in clothes The uplink license of business cell is configured by wireless heterogeneous networks (RRC) layer application.It is new in authorization service cell for exempting from Transmission, the application of UE MAC layers can arrange on it can use the logic channel for exempting from authorization service cell using priority of logical channels Program process.For exempting from the new transmission in authorization service cell, can not consider to be configured to the uplink using only authorization service cell The logic channel of link license.For the new transmission in authorization service cell, the application of UE MAC layers can select can use award Weigh the logic channel of the uplink license of serving cell.For exempting from the new transmission in authorization service cell, will not consider can be with The logic channel permitted using only the uplink of authorization service cell.Priority of logical channels sequencer procedure can provide UE MAC entity handles logic letter based on the priority assigned by eNB or higher (such as one or more core network elements) The rule of service priority in road set.For example, the mobility management entity (MME) of evolution block core (EPC) can be true Surely it is assigned to the priority level initializing of logic channel.

In LTE system, can from eNB in Transmission Time Interval (TTI) to the uplink data to be sent UE provide uplink license.For TTI uplink license use can based on carrying or logic channel it is preferential (each carrying has 1 to grade with logic channel:1 relationship).UE can select processing or other processing to determine using token bucket How uplink license in use the time and frequency for distributing to UE.Based on priority ranking process, all logic channels The uplink in TTI can be used to permit with MAC control signalings.It authorizes and exempts to determine whether logic channel can use The uplink license of cell is authorized, eNB can configure UE and use to be permitted dedicated for certain uplinks of certain logic channels It can.For example, in order to configure UE using exempting to authorize the uplink in cell to permit, eNB can send one or more RRC to UE Signaling message sends one or more MAC signaling messages to UE, or can send one or more layers 1 and configure message to match Set which logic channel can be used only from authorization service cell uplink license and which logic channel can make Permitted with the uplink from any serving cell.For example, 1 signaling of layer can with indicator to exempt from authorization service cell (for example, LAA auxiliary serving cells) or permitted for the uplink of authorization service cell (for example, main serving cell or authorize auxiliary serving cell) Can, and UE can have the logic that can use the uplink license for exempting from authorization service cell via RRC or MAC signal deployments The logic channel that channel or the uplink that authorization service cell can be used only are permitted.

In some embodiments, logic channel is configurable to permit using different types of uplink.For example, one In a little embodiments, there may be uplink license be used only authorize cell, using only exempt to authorize cell or using authorizing and Exempt from the combination of mandate cell.In the exemplary embodiment, the uplink provided from network to UE may include reference With the signaling of downlink and uplink license description:If, can be by exempting to award (i) based on the qos requirement to carrying or logic channel Weigh the uplink data of the uplink allowed transport logic channel of serving cell or authorization service cell, then be used to carry or The signaling of logic channel can be { useUnlicensedULGrant, useLicensedULGrant };(ii) if based on pair The qos requirement of carrying or logic channel, can be permitted by exempting from the uplink of both authorization service cell and authorization service cell Can transmission logic channel uplink data, then other than the signaling in (i), uplink license can be provided for The signaling { useAllULGrant } of carrying or logic channel;It (iii), can if based on the qos requirement to carrying or logic channel Not permit (for example, audio call and/or other delay-sensitive services) transmission by exempting from the uplink of authorization service cell The uplink data of logic channel, and in addition carrying or logic channel can exempt from authorization service cell and mandate using coming from The uplinks of both serving cells permits, then the signaling for being used for carrying can be notuseUnlicensedULGrant, UseALLULGrant } or { onlyLicensedULGrant, useAllULGrant }.It is used for uplink license in order to provide Signaling, type (i) can with it is every carrying use 1 bit.If type (ii) is added in type (i) signaling, it can 2 bits are used with every carrying.Type (iii) signaling can use the signaling of 1 bit with every carrying.

In order to make eNB determinations provide which type of uplink license, UE can notify eNB which logic channel has Uplink data will be sent.For example, UE sends buffer status reporting (BSR) message to eNB, include about upper in buffering area The information of the QoS amounts of uplink data.BSR may include logic channel group (LCG) ID and its corresponding uplink buffering shape State or buffer size field.After having generated for all Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Units (PDU) of TTI, buffer size Field can identify the total amount of data of the uplink transmission for all logic channels across logic channel group.LCG in BSR Id field identifies the logic channel group for reporting buffer status.In some embodiments, LCG id fields can be eNB configurations ID, in a group ID have the desired logic channels of same or analogous QoS be grouped.ENB can use LCG ID come distinguish can use from authorize and exempt from authorization service cell uplink license logic channel group and can be only The logic channel permitted using the uplink from authorization service cell.Based on the information, eNB may determine whether to carry to UE Uplink for authorizing and/or exempting from authorization service cell is permitted.In some embodiments, the length of LCG id fields can be 2 bits are to indicate four LCG.In some embodiments, may exist less or additional LCG.In some embodiments, ENB can provide LCG ID, based on expected QoS, based on can be permitted by the uplink that logic channel uses or be based on it His parameter is grouped logic channel.There is provided LCG ID to multiple UE can allow eNB for single UE and for more A UE execution priorities sequence.For example, eNB can be based on the QoS of logic channel associated with the LCG of UE, in the uplink of UE Priority ranking is carried out to LCG in link license.In addition, eNB can determine the demand to specific LCG across multiple UE, with determination Whether authorizes to one or more UE licenses are additional or exempt to authorize frequency spectrum.

As the illustrative embodiments for setting (iii) as described above, authorization service cell is used only, and (it can also have Have than other carryings or the higher priority of logic channel) carrying or logic channel can use the LCG ID ' N ', wherein N to be One of multiple available LCG ID.In this case, LCG ID ' N ' can include and transport latency sensitive service (i.e. voice, stream Video etc.) associated all logic channels.Other LCG ID (groupings of other carryings and logic channel) are considered The uplink for both authorizing and exempting from authorization service cell can be used to permit.

In some embodiments, UE can handle the BSR of separation.It is, for example, possible to use exempting to authorize and authorization service cell One BSR of the logic channel of the uplink license of the two, and can be permitted using only the uplink of authorization service cell Can logic channel another BSR.Each BSR can be triggered by the BSR processes detached.For example, UE can use the period 1 Property BSR timers (" periodicBSR-Timer ") are triggered to eNB about the uplink to be transmitted in authorizing frequency spectrum The periodical BSR transmission of data, and triggered to eNB using the 2nd periodicBSR-Timer about exempting to authorize The BSR transmission of the uplink data transmitted in frequency spectrum.UE can also use first to retransmit BSR timers (" retxBSR- Timer ") it is retransmitted about the BSR of the uplink data to be transmitted in authorizing frequency spectrum to trigger to eNB, and use the Two retxBSR-Timer retransmit come the BSR about the uplink data to be transmitted in it exempt from mandate frequency spectrum triggered to eNB. When timer time exhausts, periodicBSR-Timer can trigger UE and generate BSR in setting interval.When BSR is sent out When being sent to eNB, retxBSR-Timer can trigger BSR re-transmissions, but not receive uplink license from eNB.At some In embodiment, eNB can be sent to UE individually clearly to be triggered to generate the one or more BSR for authorizing or exempting to authorize frequency spectrum, Or UE can trigger BSR transmission using single periodicBSR-timer and single retxBSR-Timer.

In some embodiments, BSR may be provided as MAC control elements.MAC control elements can be that MAC signalings disappear A part for breath comprising the data for controlling network communication.It, and can be in terms of the priority of BSR MAC control elements The logic channel or the associated BSR of carrying permitted using only the uplink of authorization service cell will be endowed than with can make With the logic channel or the associated higher priority of BSR of carrying of the uplink for both authorizing and exempting from authorization service cell. In some embodiments, UE can based on logic channel associated with the LCG that BSR includes whether can use exempt from authorize clothes Business cell detaches BSR.For example, UE can also use the logic that the uplink license for exempting from authorization service cell can be used only The additional BSR of channel.In some embodiments, UE can be based on can generate other BSR by being associated with the frequency spectrums that use of LCG.

In some embodiments, UE can be used for uplink license for each buffer status and be provided different BSR Format or additional BSR information.For example, it can provide finer information, such as QoS, logic channel or and buffer status Associated other information.In some embodiments, the buffer status that each uplink in LCG groups is permitted can have can Become size, to accommodate additional information in the processing that uplink is permitted.

In order to make UE MAC layer applications run correctly priority of logical channels sequencer procedure, MAC layer application can determine Uplink license is to be directed to exempt from authorization service cell or be directed to authorization service cell.For example, priority of logical channels sorts Using can between logic channel execution priority handle.For example, when the radio resource that distribution is used to newly transmit, MAC is patrolled Collecting channel priority sequence application can determine that how much data in the logic channel each configured should be included in each MAC In PDU, and MAC multiplexings and demultiplexing application can be indicated to generate MAC PDU according to MAC Service Data Unit (SDU).It should Information can be supplied to MAC to apply by L1/ physical layers.MAC applications can also use the information to determine which logic channel or Carrying can be permitted using uplink, and to that can use the logic channel of uplink license or the uplink of carrying Permit operation logic channel priority sequencer procedure.For example, if uplink license is directed to authorization service cell, logic letter Road priority ranking process is to being configured so that the uplink in the logic channel for the uplink license for authorizing frequency spectrum is permitted The resource execution priority of middle instruction is sorted.If uplink license, which is directed to, exempts from authorization service cell, bgical channel priority The money that grade sequencer procedure indicates in permitting the UL being configured so that in the logic channel of the uplink for exempting to authorize frequency spectrum license Source execution priority sequence.

Fig. 4 show it is according to the embodiment from UE execute with by authorize or exempt from authorize frequency spectrum to network send uplink way According to illustrative methods.Since frame 410, UE can generate BSR, which includes and have the uplink that can be used for transmitting The buffer status of the corresponding one or more logic channels of each LCG ID of data.For example, UE can be generated and with available In the BSR of the corresponding one or more logic channels of the LCG of the uplink data of transmission.Each logic channel can be configured with LCG ID.For example, the qos requirement of logic channel can be mapped to LCG ID by UE based on the eNB mappings provided.Then, UE can To determine the buffer status of each LCG ID based on the buffer status of logic channel associated with each LCG.For example, buffering State can indicate the data volume accumulated in the buffering area of the logic channel of LCG.The BSR of generation can be sent to association by UE ENB.In response to receiving the BSR of UE, eNB can provide one or more uplink licenses to UE.For example, eNB can be with According to similar to the method discussed below with reference to Fig. 5 come determine UE to be supplied to uplink license.

In frame 420, UE can receive uplink license from eNB.For example, uplink license can indicate that UE will be upper Uplink data, which is sent to, to be authorized or exempts to authorize frequency spectrum used in network.Uplink may include that eNB distributes to UE Frequency and time resource instruction.For example, uplink may include UE using the license for authorizing frequency spectrum or exempt to authorize The instruction of the license of frequency spectrum.License can indicate which of indicated frequency spectrum frequency spectrum is to authorize or exempt to authorize so that UE can use the information to determine which uplink license is used for specific logic channel or carrying.In some embodiments In, 1 frame structure based on the serving cell permitted for uplink of UE layers is permitted to uplink of the UE MAC instructions from eNB But exempt to authorize carrier wave for authorizing carrier wave to be still directed to.

In a block 430, UE logical channels priority ranking, to be permitted come really based on the uplink received from eNB How the fixed uplink data from Different Logic channel shares uplink license.For example, the LCG ID that eNB is provided can be with The logic channel for being assigned to LCG ID is can be used only to authorize frequency spectrum or can use to authorize frequency spectrum and exempt to authorize frequency The combination of spectrum.If being used to service from the uplink license that eNB is received exempt to authorize the cell in frequency spectrum, only it is configured to make Permitted or be not limited to be used only to be permitted from the uplink of mandate frequency spectrum with the uplink for exempting from the serving cell in mandate frequency spectrum Can those of logic channel participate in priority of logical channels sequence.If the uplink license received from eNB is for mandate frequency Serving cell in spectrum, then all logic channels can participate in priority of logical channels sequence.For example, according to the configuration of group, it is special Mandate can be used only or exempt from authorization by determining the logic channel in LCG.Then, UE can be based on the configuration requirement of satisfaction group It can determine that uplink to be used is permitted with license.In some embodiments, UE can be to the uplink to be transmitted The logic channel execution priority sequencer procedure of circuit-switched data, so that determination will use the particular logical channel that uplink is permitted. For example, if the first logic channel has higher priority LCG ID, and the second logic channel has more low priority LCG ID, But two logic channels can use the mandate frequency spectrum of uplink license based on the configuration of its LCG, then higher priority is patrolled Collecting channel can be before more low priority logic channel using the uplink license for authorizing frequency spectrum.In some embodiments, It can determine which logic channel will be permitted using which uplink using additional priority sequencer procedure.For example, can be with It is expected based on priority, the size for the uplink data to be sent, QoS, data are delayed in the uplink of logic channel The length or other information for rushing the time in area permit logical channel assignment to uplink.It in some embodiments, can be with Execution priority sequence is handled in the MAC layer of UE.UE can determine license based on the data of MAC layer are supplied to from physical layer Be for authorize frequency spectrum or for exempt from authorize frequency spectrum.

In frame 440, UE can transmit the uplink data of logic channel in the license of selected uplink.For example, If being based on priority ranking process, logic channel is configured so that the uplink license for authorizing frequency spectrum, then UE can be in institute The uplink data of logic channel is transmitted in the uplink license of distribution.In some embodiments, UE can determine logic Channel, which should use, authorizes and exempts to authorize the uplink of frequency spectrum to permit.Then, UE can be in the first uplink for authorizing frequency spectrum Permit and exempt to authorize some uplink datas of transmission logic channel in the second uplink license of frequency spectrum in road.

Fig. 5 shows that according to the embodiment executed from eNB authorizes or exempt to authorize the uplink of frequency spectrum to permit to be provided to UE Illustrative methods.Since frame 510, eNB is sent to UE to set the LCG ID of UE by message is configured.For example, LCG ID can To indicate the priority ranking grade of Different Logic channel or carrying.In some embodiments, LCG ID can be in key group The QoS grades of logic channel.UE can use the QoS grades of LCG ID so that UE can determine each logic letter that UE is used The LCG ID in road.In some embodiments, eNB can be using LCG ID come to the uplink for authorizing frequency spectrum can be used to permit Exempt from authorize frequency spectrum uplink license logic channel or carrying be grouped.It can be determined that based on LCG ID, eNB By the license of the uplink of authorization service cell, the uplink license of authorization service cell or authorization service is small will be exempted from UE is distributed in area and the uplink license for exempting from both authorization service cells.

The LCG ID that eNB is provided can indicate the dibit of LCG to be mapped to the grade of service associated with LCG.One In a little embodiments, highest priority LCG ID can serve to indicate that the QoS of enhancing, and associated with highest priority LCG ID Channel can be used only authorize frequency spectrum.For example, can be to the logic channel with the uplink data for upload of UE Or to provide the QoS of enhancing with the UE for subscribing to associated good service with user.Lowest priority LCG ID can be used for Instruction does not have or the logic channel with low qos requirement.Lowest priority LCG ID can subtract using only mandate frequency spectrum is exempted from The business on frequency spectrum is authorized less.Middle priority LCG ID can serve to indicate that use and authorize frequency spectrum or exempt to authorize frequency spectrum Logic channel, or instruction can use the logic channel for authorizing frequency spectrum and exempting to authorize both frequency spectrums.For example, the second high priority LCG ID can increase the usable spectrum transmitted for uplink using authorizing and exempting to authorize both frequency spectrums, and third is high Priority LCG ID, which can be used only, to authorize or exempts to authorize frequency spectrum, this permits depending on the available uplink of UE and priority row Program process.In some other embodiments, LCG ID can be allocated to each logic channel, it is only to make that this, which depends on it, With authorize frequency spectrum uplink license, using only exempt from authorize frequency spectrum uplink grant or using from authorize and exempt from Authorize the uplink license of both frequency spectrums.

In some embodiments, eNB can trigger the reports of multiple BSR from UE and be authorized with determining and exempt to authorize uplink The state of road license.For example, eNB can trigger the reports of the first BSR from UE to determine using authorized uplink license The LCG ID and buffer status of logic channel, and trigger the 2nd BSR from UE and report to determine that use exempts to authorize uplink The LCG ID and buffer status of the logic channel of road license.In some embodiments, eNB can trigger the BSR from UE, packet Include the additional information for particular logical channel.For example, permitting that BSR can be wrapped for each uplink that each LCG is used It includes and is permitted the workable buffer status detached for uplink.

In frame 520, eNB receives BSR message from one or more UE.It is wanted for example, BSR reports may include having for UE The LCG ID and buffer status of one or more logic channels of the uplink data of transmission, the wherein transmission with by LCG ID It is associated to identify LCG.BSR can also including each LCG UE is used uplink license be about authorize frequency spectrum also It is about the instruction for exempting from mandate frequency spectrum.For example, the instruction or MAC control elements in LCG ID, BSR that UE is used can indicate with Licensing status is exempted from the mandate of uplink license used in the corresponding logic channels of LCG of LCG ID marks.ENB can be solved Code BSR message is to determine the amount of uplink data that UE to be transmitted, the QoS of uplink data.It is only that eNB, which can also be determined, To authorize frequency spectrum to distribute the license of one or more uplinks, being to authorize or exempt from that frequency spectrum distribution uplink is authorized to permit, still To authorize and exempting to authorize the distribution uplink license of both frequency spectrums.

In the block 530, it is that UE generates one or more uplink grant messages that eNB, which is based on BSR,.For example, eNB can be tied The additional BSR for closing other UE determines the usable spectrum of access network using the BSR of UE.ENB is also based on the LCG ID of UE To determine it is to provide authorized uplink license to UE and be also to provide to exempt from authorized uplink with the buffer status of each LCG ID License.For example, if the BSR message instruction from UE will be by UE by authorizing spectrum transmissions mass data, eNB can be to UE The uplink license authorized in frequency spectrum is provided.ENB can be authorized to provide based on the BSR message from UE or be exempted to authorize frequency spectrum One or more of uplink license.

In frame 540, eNB provides uplink license to UE.It is, for example, possible to use physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) uplink license is sent to UE by down link control information (DCI) message on.DCI message can indicate eNB Time and frequency resource used in transfer uplink data.In some embodiments, it can otherwise be provided by UE Uplink is permitted.In some embodiments, be supplied to the uplink of UE may include uplink for authorizing or Exempt from the instruction of mandate frequency spectrum.In some embodiments, the physical layer of UE can to the MAC layer of UE indicate uplink license be It authorizes in frequency spectrum or in exempting from mandate frequency spectrum.
