Description

控制信道候选个数和盲检次数分配方法、 基站和用户设备 技术领域
本发明实施例涉及无线通信领域, 并且更具体地, 涉及控制信道候选个 数和盲检次数的分配方法、 基站和用户设备。 背景技术
长期演进( Long Term Evolution, LTE ) Rel-8/9/10通信系统采用了动态 调度技术来提高系统的性能, 即演进型基站(evolved NodeB, eNB )根据每 个用户设备 ( User Equipment , UE ) 的信道状况来调度和分配资源, 使得每 个被调度的用户都在该用户最优的信道上进行通信。 在下行传输中, eNB根 据动态调度的结果为每一个被调度的 UE 发送一个物理下行共享信道 ( Physical Downlink Shared Channel, PDSCH )以及与此 PDSCH对应的物理 下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH ), 其中, PDSCH 承载着 eNB发送给 UE的数据,相对应地, PDCCH主要是用来指示 PDSCH 的传输格式或调度信息,例如资源的分配,传输块的大小,调制编码的方式, 传输秩以及预编码矩阵信息等。
在一个子帧中, 用于上下行调度的所有 PDCCH复用在 PDCCH区域的 N个控制信道单元( Control Channel Element, CCE ), N大于 1 , 且编号从 0 开始。 每个 PDCCH是由 L个连续的 CCE聚合而成, L是 1、 2、 4或 8中的 一个,即 PDCCH共有 4个聚合级别。而 PDCCH中信息块的大小以及 PDCCH 所对应的 UE 的信道状况决定了每个 PDCCH 聚合 CCE 的个数。 在发送 PDCCH前,交织 PDCCH区域内的被复用的 N个 CCE,接着把交织后的 CCE 按顺序映射到 PDCCH区域预留的 RE上并发送。
在接收端, UE需要对 N个 CCE进行盲检以获得该 UE对应的 PDCCH。 每个 CCE聚合级别下, PDCCH的候选是有限定的。 候选的 PDCCH越少, UE盲检的次数也就越少。 举例来说, 在现有技术中, 当 CCE 的聚合级别 L=8, PDCCH的候选的个数为 2, 即只需要检测 CCE0~7和 CCE8~15。 尽管 这种 CCE的分配原则可以减少盲检次数, 但是每个聚合级别所对应的盲检 次数仍与 PDCCH区域 CCE的个数 N正相关, 即 N越大,盲检的次数越多。 为了进一步减少盲检的复杂度,在每个 CCE聚合级别下, 限定了 UE需要盲 检的最大次数, 称之为搜索空间。 搜索空间可分为公共搜索空间和 UE特定 搜索空间两种, 二者的区别在于, 公共搜索空间的起始 CCE的位置是固定 的, 而 UE特定搜索空间的起始 CCE由 UE的标识以及 PDCCH所在子帧的 子帧号来确定的。 其中, 公共搜索空间和 UE特定搜索空间是可以重叠的。
LTE Rel- 11对现有的 PDCCH进行了增强, 即在 PDSCH的区域划分出 一部分资源来传输增强物理下行控制信道 (Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel, EPDCCH ),使得分配给控制信道的资源有了很大的灵活度, 而不再受限于三个正交频分多址 ( Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing , OFDM ) 符号。 EPDCCH 可以采用基于解调参考信号 ( Demodulation Reference Signal, DMRS ) 的传输方式实现空间上的重用来 提高控制信道的传输效率, 例如服务于不同的无限拉远单元(Radio Remote Unit, RRU ) 下的 UE的控制信道, 只要在空间上可以 4艮好的隔离, 就可以 占用相同的时频资源, 以此来提高 PDCCH的容量或者同时调度的 UE的个 数。
在 3GPP ( The 3rd Generation Partnership, 第三代合作伙伴计划) RAN
( Radio Access Network, 无线接入网) 1 70bis标准会议上通过的主要结论 如下: UE在 K个 EPDCCH集合内进行盲检, K个 EPDCCH的集合中的每 个 EPDCCH集合由 M个物理资源块对组成, M取值为 2、 4或 8。 在正常子 帧 (正常循环前缀)或特殊子帧 (正常循环前缀)配比 3、 4或 8的情况下, 当每个物理资源块对所包含的有效资源单元数目小于一个预定门限时,
EPDCCH可支持的聚合级别为 2、 4、 8或 16; 其他情况下可支持的聚合级 别为 1、 2、 4、 8或 16。
UE的总盲检次数是 32 (特殊情况,在多入多出( Multiple-Input Multiple
Output, MIMO )情况下, UE的总盲检次数是 48 )。 首先, 将这些盲检次数 分配给 EPDCCH可支持的聚合级别, 然后在每个聚合级别对应的 EPDCCH 集合间进行分配。
EPDCCH可支持的传输格式主要包括下行控制信息 (Downlink Control Information, DCI )格式 IX系列, 包括 1、 1A, 1B、 1C等; DCI格式 2X 系列, 包括 2、 2A、 2B、 2C等; 以及用于上行业务信道数据传输格式指示 的 DCI格式 0、 4等。 其中, DCI格式 2X系列的有效负载通常远大于 DCI 格式 IX系列。 当前标准中, EPDCCH可支持的聚合级别取决于该 EPDCCH所在的搜
时, 以 DCI格式 1A传输的 EPDCCH的传输码率不大于 0.8, 但是此结论并 不适用于一 DCI格式 2X系列传输的 EPDCCH。 例如,根据该预定门限确定 出 EPDCC可支持的聚合级别为 1、 2、 4、 8和 16, 当 EPDCCH采用 DCI 格式 1A以及最低的聚合级别 1进行传输时, EPDCCH的传输码率不大于 0.8。 但是, 当 EPDCCH采用 DCI格式 2X系列以及最低的聚合级别 1进行传输 时, 却无法保证其传输码率在某一个门限内, 甚至可能大于 1。
在一个子帧下, 当 EPDCCH采用上述预定门限来确定其可支持的聚合 级别时,确定出的最低聚合级别可能不能支持 DCI格式 2X系列的数据传输, 此时 UE跳过对最低聚合级别的 DCI格式 2X系列的盲检, 而只检测其它聚 合级别下的以 DCI格式 2X系列传输的 EPDCCH候选。 甚至考虑在一些开 销组合情况下, 各个控制信道单元大小并不均衡, 某个聚合级别对应的 EPDCCH 候选的大小也不均衡。 这样可能会导致相同聚合级别下的某些 EPDCCH候选支持 DCI格式 2X系列传输,而某些 EPDCCH候选不支持 DCI 格式 2X系列传输的现象。 此时, 现有技术中, UE同样跳过这些不支持 DCI 格式 2X系列传输的 EPDCCH候选, 造成了 EPDCCH候选个数以及盲检次 数的利用率降低。 发明内容

下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行 清楚、 完整地描述, 显然, 所描述的实施例是本发明的一部分实施例, 而不 是全部实施例。 基于本发明中的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创 造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例, 都应属于本发明保护的范围。
应理解, 本发明的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统, 例如: 全球移动 通讯 ( Global System of Mobile communication, GSM )系统、码分多址 ( Code Division Multiple Access, CDMA ) 系统、 宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, WCDMA )系统、通用分组无线业务( General Packet Radio Service, GPRS )、 LTE 系统、 先进的长期演进 ( Advanced long term evolution , LTE-A ) 系统、 通用移动通信系统 ( Universal Mobile Telecommunication System, UMTS )等。
还应理解 , 在本发明实施例中, 用户设备( User Equipment, UE ) 包括 但不限于移动台 ( Mobile Station, MS ), 移动终端( Mobile Terminal ), 移动 电话 ( Mobile Telephone )、 手机 ( handset )及便携设备 ( portable equipment ) 等, 该用户设备可以经无线接入网(RAN, Radio Access Network )与一个或 多个核心网进行通信, 例如, 用户设备可以是移动电话(或称为 "蜂窝" 电 话)、 具有无线通信功能的计算机等, 用户设备还可以是便携式、 袖珍式、 手持式、 计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置。
图 1是本发明一个实施例的控制信道候选个数的分配方法的流程图。 图 1的方法由基站执行, 例如, 可以是 LTE技术中的 eNB , 也可以是 WCDMA 技术中的无线网络控制器( RNC , Radio Network Controller )。
101、确定第一聚合级别集合 {Lli} , 并确定聚合级别 {Lli}中的聚合级别 对应的 EPDCCH候选个数, {Lli}由 EPDCCH支持的 N个聚合级别组成, i 为正整数, i取值从 1到 N。
102、确定第二聚合级别集合 {L2j}, 并确定聚合级别 {L2j}中的聚合级别 对应的 EPDCCH候选个数, {L2j}由待检测 EPDCCH支持的 M个聚合级别 组成, j为正整数, j取值从 1到 M, {L2j}是 {Lli}的子集, M N, 且 L2j 在 {L2j}中所对应的 EPDCCH候选的个数大于或等于 L2j在 {Lli}中对应的 EPDCCH候选个数。
本发明的实施例中, 基站将待检测 EPDCCH不支持的聚合等级所对应 的 EPDCCH候选个数进行重分配, 提高了 EPDCCH候选的利用率。
需要说明的是, 本发明实施例中, 基站需要分配的 EPDCCH候选的个 数与 UE盲检的个数可以相同。 例如, 当 UE支持 32次盲检, 基站可以为 UE分配 32个 EPDCCH候选; 当 UE采用上行 MIMO技术, UE可支持的盲 检次数为 48, 基站可为 UE分配 48个 EPDCCH候选。 应理解, 基站所分配 的 EPDCCH候选的个数也可以不同于 UE能够支持的盲检次数,本发明实施 例对此不作限定。
应注意,上述 EPDCCH支持的 N个聚合级别中的 EPDCCH是一个广义 的概念, 可以不特指某一个 EPDCCH, 而且基站可以在实际发送 EPDCCH 之前就确定上述 EPDCCH支持的 N个聚合级别;待检测 EPDCCH可以在某 一个子帧内一个具体的 EPDCCH, 可以是一个即将发送的、 包含控制信息的 实际的物理概念。
可选地, 作为一个实施例, 步骤 102可包括: 确定 {Lu}中除去 {L¾}中的 聚合级别所剩余的 N-M个聚合级别; 确定 N-M个聚合级别在 {Lu}中所对应 的 EPDCCH候选总数 P; 向 {L¾ }中的聚合级别分配 P个 EPDCCH候选。 例 如, {Lu}为 {1,2,4,8,16} , 分别对应 {10,10,5,5,2}个 EPDCCH候选, 且 N=5。
{L2j}为 {2,4,8,16} , M=4, N-M个聚合级别是指聚合级别 1 , 接着确定聚合级 另1 j 1在第一集合中对应的 EPDCCH候选的个数为 10, 也就是说 P=10, 将 10个 EPDCCH候选按照某种规则分配给 {2,4,8,16}。
需要说明的是, 本发明对上述向 {L2j}中的聚合级别分配 P个 EPDCCH 候选的分配的具体方式不作限定, 可以均勾分配, 也可以按比例分配, 还可 以随机分配; 另外, 本发明对分配的顺序也不做限定, 可以按照聚合级别的 高级由高到低分, 也可以按照聚合级别的高低由低到高分配, 可以一次性分 配完, 也可以分多次分配。
可选地, 作为另一个实施例, 向 {L2j}中的聚合级别分配 P个 EPDCCH 候选可包括: 向 {L2j}中的聚合级别初分配 P1个 EPDCCH候选; 向 {L¾}中的 聚合级别再分配 P2个 EPDCCH候选, P1+P2 P。 应理解, 本发明对上述 P1和 P2的选择不作限定, 可以是事先确定一个 P1和 P2; 也可以是事先确 定一个分配规则, 按照该规则分配后还剩余 P2个, 而 P1不是事先确定的, 而是按照该规则分配后才得出的。
可选地,作为另一个实施例,向 {L¾}中的聚合级别初分配 P1个 EPDCCH 候选可包括: 将 P1个 EPDCCH候选均勾地分配给 {L2j}中的聚合级别。
举例说明, {L2j}为 {2,4,8,16} , P=10, 首先将 10个 EPDCCH候选以均 匀分配方式分配给 {L2j}中的 2,4,6,8,那么每个聚合级别分 2.5个 EPDCCH候 选,但由于 EPDCCH候选必须是整数个,所以每个聚合级别分 2个 EPDCCH 候选, 即 Pl=8, 剩余 2个 EPDCCH, 即 P2=2。
可选地,作为另一个实施例,向 {L¾}中的聚合级别初分配 P1个 EPDCCH 候选可包括: 根据 {L2j}中的每一个聚合级别在 {Lu}中对应的 EPDCCH候选 个数与 {L¾}中的所有聚合级别在 {Lu}中对应的 EPDCCH候选总数的比值分 配 P1个 EPDCCH候选。
可选地,作为另一个实施例,向 {L¾}中的聚合级别初分配 P1个 EPDCCH 候选可包括: 根据 N 与 M 的比例关系向 {L2j}中的聚合级别分配 P1 个 EPDCCH候选。
可选地,作为另一个实施例,向 {L¾}中的聚合级别初分配 P1个 EPDCCH 候选可包括: 向 {L2j}中的一个聚合级别分配 PI个 EPDCCH候选。
需要说明的是, 本发明实施例对 P2的分配方式不作限定, 可以按照某 种规则分, 也可以随即分配, 可以先分一部分, 再分剩余的部分, 可以完全 分配, 也可以有剩余。
可选地,作为另一个实施例,向 {L¾ }中的聚合级别再分配 P2个 EPDCCH 候选可包括:按照聚合等级由低到高向 {L2j}中的聚合级别依次循环分配一个 EPDCCH候选; 或者,按照聚合等级由高到低向 {L¾}中的聚合级别依次循环 分配一个 EPDCCH候选。
应理解, 当 P2的个数大于 {L2j}中聚合级别的个数时, 按照上述规则中 的一个向 {L¾}中每一个聚合级别分配了一个 EPDCCH候选后, 可以按照相 同的规则再次分配 P2中剩余的 EPDCCH候选, 即依次循环分配。
可选地, 作为另一个实施例, 确定第二聚合级别集合 {L2j}可包括: 根据 待检测 EPDCCH的 DCI格式和 /或待检测 EPDCCH对应的每物理资源块对 的可用资源单元个数确定 {L2j}。
可选地,作为另一个实施例,根据待检测 EPDCCH的 DCI格式确定 {L2j } 可包括: 根据 EPDCCH的 DCI格式确定至少一个门限值; 根据至少一个门 限值确定 {L¾}。
举例说明, 基站可以为以 DCI格式 1A传输的 EPDCCH确定一个第一 门限值, 以 DCI格式 2X系列传输的 EPDCCH也采用相同的第一门限值。
可选地, 基站还可以为以 DCI格式 2X系列传输的 EPDCCH确定一个第 二门限值, 以 DCI格式 1A传输的 EPDCCH也采用相同的第二门限值; 或 者, 基站重新确定一个以 DCI格式 1A或 DCI格式 2X传输的 EPDCCH都 满足的第三门限值。 应理解, 当采用第二门限值或第三门限值时, 由于这两 个门限值都能保证以 DCI格式 2X系列传输的 EPDCCH满足传输码率的要 求, 所说以 DCI格式 1A传输的 EPDCCH更能满足传输码率的要求。 这样 可以按照预定的规则将总盲检次数分配到根据上述门限值确定出的聚合级 别中。
可选地,作为另一个实施例,基站可以为一 DCI格式 1A传输的 EPDCCH 确定一个第一门限值, 以 DCI格式 2X系列传输的 EPDCCH确定一个第二 门限值,通过为不同传输格式确定不同的门限值,确定出的待检测 EPDDCH 可支持的聚合级别也可以不相同。 需要说明的是, 在本发明实施例中, 还可能出现待检测 EPDCCH支持 的聚合级别中, 某个或某些聚合级别对应的一部分 EPDCCH候选不支持某 个待检测 DCI传输格式的 EPDCCH传输, 剩余部分支持 DCI传输格式的 EPDCCH传输的情况。 此时, 可以将这部分 EPDCCH候选对应的候选数目 也进行重新分配, 本发明实施例对重新分配的原则不作限制, 可以采用本发 明实施例中提到的任何一种原则或多种原则的结合, 也可以采用新的原则。 本发明对重分配的对象也不做限定, 可以包括上述某个或某些聚合级别, 也 可以不包括。
可选地, 作为另一个实施例, N=5, N个聚合级别为 {1 , 2, 4, 8, 16} , 假设聚合级别 1 已分配了 10个候选 EPDCCH。 由于不满足码率要求, 聚合 级别 1不能用于传输 DCI格式 2X系列的 EPDCCH,其余的聚合级别都满足 码率要求。 此时, N-M=l , N-M个聚合级别为 {1} , P=10, M=4, M个聚合 级别为 {2, 4, 8, 16}。 基站可将 EPDCCH候选的个数 10分配给剩余的 4 个聚合级别 {2, 4, 8, 16}。
可选地, 作为另一个实施例, N=4, N个聚合级别为 {2, 4, 8, 16} , 且 都满足码率要求。 假设聚合级别 2 已分配了 4个 EPDCCH候选, 但是聚合 级别 2中的 2个 EPDCCH候选不满足码率要求。 此时, N-M可以为 1 , N-M 个聚合级别为 {2} , P=2, M=3 , M个聚合级别为 {4, 8, 16}。 基站可将候 选 EPDCCH的个数 10分配给剩余的 3个聚合级别 {4, 8, 16}。
可选地, 作为另一个实施例, N=5 , N个聚合级别为 {1 , 2, 4, 8, 16}。 假设聚合级别 1和聚合级别 1分别对应了 10个 EPDCCH候选。 聚合级别 1 不满足码率要求, 聚合级别 2中的 5个 EPDCCH候选不满足码率要求, 那 么 N-M=l , N-M个聚合级别为 {1} , P=15, M=4, M个聚合级别为 {2, 4, 8, 16} , 基站可将 EPDCCH候选的个数 15分配给剩余的 4个聚合级别 {2, 4, 8, 16}。
可选地, 在选择步骤 104中, 将 P1个 EPDCCH候选对应的聚合级别作 为 N-M个聚合级别, 例如 N=5 , N个聚合级别为 {1 , 2, 4, 8, 16}。 此时 聚合级别 1不满足码率要求, 聚合级别 2中的 2个 EPDCCH候选不满足码 率要求, 那么确定 N-M=2, N-M个聚合级别为 {1 , 2}。 图 2是本发明另一个实施例的控制信道候选个数的分配方法的流程图。 图 2方法由基站执行。 图 2的实施例是图 1的实施例的更具体的一种实现形 式, 因此适当省略详细的描述。
201、确定第一聚合级别集合 {Lli} , 并确定聚合级别 {Lli}中的聚合级别 对应的 EPDCCH候选个数, {Lli}由 EPDCCH支持的 N个聚合级别组成, i 为正整数, i取值从 1到 N。

203、 确定 {Lli}中除去 {L2j}中的聚合级别所剩余的 N-M个聚合级别。

图 3是本发明一个实施例的盲检次数的分配方法的流程图。 图 3方法由 UE执行。 图 3的实施例与图 1的实施例相对应, 图 1的执行主体基站和图 3的执行主体 UE区别在于分配的对象不同, 基站分配 EPDCCH候选, UE 分配盲检次数, 而分配的方式可以相同或相应, 因此这里省略详细的描述。
301、确定第一聚合级别集合 {Lli} , 并确定聚合级别 {Lli}中的聚合级别 对应的盲检次数, {Lli}由 EPDCCH支持的 N个聚合级别组成, i为正整数, i取值从 1到 N。

本发明的实施例中, UE将待检测 EPDCCH不支持的聚合等级所对应的 盲检次数进行重分配, 提高了盲检次数的利用率。
可选地, 作为一个实施例, 确定聚合级别 {L¾}中的聚合级别对应的盲检 次数可包括:确定 {Lu}中除去 {L2j }中的聚合级别所剩余的 N-M个聚合级别; 确定 N-M个聚合级别在 {Lu}中所对应的盲检次数 P; 向 {L2j }中的聚合级别 分配 P次盲检。
可选地,作为另一个实施例,向 {L2j}中的聚合级别分配 P次盲检可包括: 向 {L2j}中的聚合级别初分配 P1次盲检;向 {L2j}中的聚合级别再分配 P2次盲 检, P1+P2 < P;
可选地, 作为另一个实施例, 向 {L2j}中的聚合级别初分配 P1次盲检可 包括: 将 P1次盲检均勾地分配给 {L2j}中的聚合级别。
可选地, 作为另一个实施例, 向 {L2j}中的聚合级别初分配 P1次盲检可 包括:根据 {L2j}中的每一个聚合级别在 {Lu}中对应的盲检次数与 {L2j}中的所 有聚合级别在 {Lu}中对应的总盲检次数的比值分配 P1次盲检。
可选地, 作为另一个实施例, 向 {L2j}中的聚合级别初分配 P1次盲检可 包括: 根据 N与 M的比例关系向 {L2j}中的聚合级别分配 P1次盲检。
可选地, 作为另一个实施例, 向 {L2j}中的聚合级别再分配 P2次盲检可 包括: 按照聚合等级由低到高向 {L2j}中的聚合级别依次循环分配一次盲检; 或者, 按照聚合等级由高到低向 {L2j}中的聚合级别依次循环分配一次盲检。
可选地, 作为另一个实施例, 向 {L2j}中的聚合级别初分配 P1次盲检可 包括: 向 {L¾}中的一个聚合级别分配 P1次盲检。

可选地, 作为另一个实施例, 假定 UE可支持的聚合级别总数为 K, 总 盲检次数为 32 ( UL MIMO情况下可以为 48 )。 将总盲检次数按照某个预定 规则分配到上述 K个聚合级别中, 得到 K个聚合级别的分配结果一。 当 UE 实际可支持的聚合级别从 K减少到 T, T K时, 则将不支持的 K-T个聚合 级别对应的盲检次数分配到上述 T个聚合级别,得到 T个聚合级别的分配结 果二。
举例说明, 用户终端在正常子帧, 正常循环前缀或特殊子帧配置 3,4,8 下, 当每物理资源块对内的有效资源单元个数小于 104时, UE可支持的聚 合级别集合为 Sl={2,4,8,16}, 否则可支持的聚合级别为 S2={1,2,4,8,16}, 此 时, S1内的各聚合级别的盲检次数分配基于 S2内的各聚合级别的盲检次数 分配而得到。 即 S2中的聚合级别 1对应的盲检次数按照某个预先设定的规 则分配到 S1 集合中的各个聚合级别上。 该规则可以是本发明实施例中的一 个或多个规则。 按照此方法, 表 1中右侧区域中所有其他情况对应的盲检次 数分配可以作为盲检分配一,表 1的左侧区域的聚合级别 {2,4,8,16}的盲检次 数分配由右侧区域中聚合级别 {1,2,4,8, 16}的盲检分配一得到。

假设 R=3, 那么向聚合级别 16、 8、 4依次分配一个, 则最终将 a的分 配结果为:
更一般化的分配准则可被表达为: 假定根据某门限确定出的增强型控制 信道可支持的聚合级别为 L1,L2,...,Lk,其中每个聚合级别对应的候选个数分 别为 Mu, ML2, ...,MLk。 假定聚合级别 Li不能满足某 DCI格式的增强型控 制信道的码率要求, 则用户终端跳过此聚合级别的检测, 同时将其对应的盲 检次数 Mu分配到满足条件的其他聚合级别上去。 其中所述第 j个聚合级别 初次分配后的盲检次数为:

不同集合大小 {2, 4, 8}下, 总候选个数在各聚合级别间的分配。 由于 不同的集合大小即不同的物理资源块对数目下的总增强控制信道单元 ECCE 个数不同, 如在每物理资源块对对应 4个 ECCE的物理资源单元时, 2个物 理资源块对内的增强控制信道单元 ECCE个数为 8, 因此其可以支持的不同 聚合级别 {1 , 2, 4, 8, 16}的候选总数分别为 {8, 4, 2, 1 , 0} , 而 4个物 理资源块对内的增强控制信道单元总数为 16,因此其可以支持的不同聚合级 别 {1 , 2, 4, 8, 16}的候选总数分别为 {16, 8, 4, 2, 1 }。 相应的 8个物理 资源块对内的增强控制信道单元总数为 32,因此其可以支持的不同聚合级别 {1 , 2, 4, 8, 16}的候选总数分别为 {32, 16, 8, 4, 2}。
总候选个数在不同聚合级别间的分配有如下两个选项:
( 1 )、 总候选个数 M根据最大集合大小, 即最大物理资源块对数目可 支持的不同聚合级别的候选总数确定每个聚合级别的候选分配一; 如根据 8 个物理资源块对可支持的候选总数将 M个候选分配到不同的聚合级别上去, 假定分配完后 {1,2,4,8,16}每聚合级别可支持的候选总数为 {4, 6, 2, 2, 2}, 此时对于 4个物理资源块对的情况,聚合级别 16的候选总数是 2,但是其实际 可支持的候选总数仅为 1,但无论每集合内的物理资源块对数目为 2,4还是 8, 默认在此情况下聚合级别 16的候选总数为 2。在进行每聚合级别在两个集合 间的候选分配时,按照上述候选分配一确定的每聚合级别的候选总数,如上例 中的 {4, 6, 2, 2, 2}进行某种预定规则的多个集合间的进一步分配。
( 2 )、 总候选个数 M根据每集合的实际大小,即集合内的物理资源块对 可支持的不同聚合级别的候选总数分别确定不同集合大小下的每聚合级别 的候选分配二; 其中每聚合级别可支持的候选总数应不超过此集合实际可支 持的候选总数。 如根据 8个物理资源块对可支持的候选总数将 M个候选分 配到不同的聚合级别上去, 假定分配完后 {1,2,4,8,16}每聚合级别可支持的候 选总数为 {4, 6, 2, 2, 2}。 而根据 4个物理资源块对可支持的候选总数将 M个候选分配到不同的聚合级别 {1,2,4,8,16}后每聚合级别的候选总数为 {4, 6, 2, 2, 1 }或 {4,6,3,2,1 }或 {4,7,2,2,1 }或 {5,6,2,2,1 }等。 根据 2个物理资源块 对可支持的候选总数将 M个候选分配到不同的聚合级别 {1,2,4,8,16}后每聚 合级别的候选总数为 {4, 4, 2, 1 , 0}或 {8,4,2,1,0}等. 同理对于可支持的聚 合级别为 {2,4,8,16}的情况类似地根据 8 个物理资源块对可支持的候选总数 将 M个候选分配到不同的聚合级别上去, 假定分配完后 {2,4,8,16}每聚合级 别可支持的候选总数为 {6, 6, 2, 2}。 而根据 4个物理资源块对可支持的候 选总数将 M个候选分配到不同的聚合级别 {2,4,8,16}后每聚合级别的候选总 数为 {6, 6, 2, 1 }或 {6, 7, 2 , 1 }或 {7,6,2,1 }等。 根据 2个物理资源块对可支 持的候选总数将 M个候选分配到不同的聚合级别 {2,4,8,16}后每聚合级别的 候选总数为 {4,2,1,0}等。
每聚合级别在两个集合间的候选分配时,按照上述候选分配二确定的不 同集合大小下每聚合级别的候选总数进行两个集合间的候选分配。 其中, 可 选地, 可根据这两个集合中的最大集合大小确定对应的每聚合级别的候选总 数,如集合大小为 4和 8的两个集合将按照集合大小 8对应的每聚合级别的 候选总数, 像上例中 {1,2,4,8,16}所对应的 {4, 6, 2 , 2 , 2}进行每聚合级别 的候选在两个集合间的分配。
对于选项二, 可归纳出其本质原理为: 每聚合级别的候选总数与每个 DCI格式所对应的总盲检次数, 及每集合实际可支持的此聚合级别的候选数 目等有关。 ( 3 )、 同上述选项(2 ), 根据每集合的实际大小,即集合内的物理资源 块对可支持的不同聚合级别的候选总数分别确定不同集合大小下的每聚合 级别的候选分配二; 其中每聚合级别可支持的候选总数应不超过此集合实际 可支持的候选总数。 每聚合级别在两个集合间的候选分配时, 按照上述候选 分配二确定的最大集合大小下每聚合级别的候选总数进行两个集合间的候 选分配。
上述选项 (2 )和(3 ) 中具体的在不同集合大小下, 每聚合级别的候选 次数分配可以为如下所示:
