[0137]
The base station apparatus 1, as a method for resource allocation of PDSCH and / or PUSCH to the terminal device 2, can be used several ways. The method of resource allocation include dynamic scheduling, semi-persistent scheduling, multi-subframe scheduling, and cross subframe scheduling.
[0138]
In dynamic scheduling, one DCI performs resource allocation in one subframe. Specifically, PDCCH or EPDCCH in a certain sub-frame, performs scheduling for PDSCH in that subframe. PDCCH or EPDCCH in a certain sub-frame, performs scheduling for PUSCH in a given subframe after that sub-frame.
[0139]
In the multi-subframe scheduling, one DCI performs resource allocation in one or more sub-frames. Specifically, PDCCH or EPDCCH in a certain sub-frame, performs scheduling for PDSCH in one or more sub-frames after the predetermined number than the sub-frame. PDCCH or EPDCCH in a certain sub-frame, performs scheduling for PUSCH in one or more sub-frames after the predetermined number than the sub-frame. The predetermined number may be an integer greater than or equal to zero. The predetermined number may be predefined, may be determined on the basis of the physical layer signaling and / or RRC signaling. In the multi-subframe scheduling may be contiguous subframes Scheduling, subframe having a predetermined period may be scheduled. The number of subframes to be scheduled may be predefined, may be determined on the basis of the physical layer signaling and / or RRC signaling.
[0140]
In cross subframe scheduling, one DCI performs resource allocation in one subframe. Specifically, PDCCH or EPDCCH in a certain sub-frame, performs scheduling for PDSCH in one sub-frame after the predetermined number than the sub-frame. PDCCH or EPDCCH in a certain sub-frame, performs scheduling for PUSCH in one subframe after the predetermined number than the sub-frame. The predetermined number may be an integer greater than or equal to zero. The predetermined number may be predefined, may be determined on the basis of the physical layer signaling and / or RRC signaling. In cross subframe scheduling may be contiguous subframes Scheduling, subframe having a predetermined period may be scheduled.
[0141]
In semi-persistent scheduling (SPS), one DCI performs resource allocation in one or more sub-frames. The terminal apparatus 2, information about the SPS is configured by RRC signaling, when detecting a PDCCH or EPDCCH to enable SPS, to enable processing regarding SPS, given PDSCH and / or on the basis of the settings relating to SPS PUSCH to receive. Terminal device 2, if the SPS finds the PDCCH or EPDCCH to release the SPS when it is effective, the SPS release (disable) to stop the reception of the predetermined PDSCH and / or PUSCH. SPS release may be performed on the basis of when a predetermined condition is satisfied. For example, when receiving the data of a predetermined number of empty transmission, SPS is released. Empty transmission of data to release the SPS corresponds to MAC PDU including zero MAC SDU (Service Data Unit) (Protocol Data Unit).
[0142]
Information about the SPS by RRC signaling, SPS C-RNTI is an RNTI of SPS, information about the period (interval) to be scheduled for PDSCH, information on the period (interval) to be scheduled for PUSCH, on setting for releasing the SPS information, and / or a number of HARQ processes in SPS. SPS is supported only on the primary cell and / or primary secondary cell.
[0143]
In the present embodiment, HARQ has various features. HARQ is to transmit and retransmit the transport block. In HARQ, a predetermined number of processes (HARQ process) is used (set), each process operates independently in stop-and-wait method.
[0144]
In downlink, HARQ is asynchronous, operates adaptively. That is, in the downlink, retransmissions are always scheduled via PDCCH. Uplink HARQ-ACK corresponding to the transmission downlink (response information) is transmitted on PUCCH or PUSCH. In the downlink, PDCCH is, HARQ process number indicating the HARQ process, and notifies the information indicating whether retransmission thereof or transmission initial transmission.
[0145]
In uplink, HARQ operates synchronously or asynchronously. Downlink HARQ-ACK corresponding to uplink transmission (response information) is transmitted in PHICH. In uplink HARQ, operation of the terminal device is determined based on the PDCCH received by the HARQ feedback and / or the terminal device is received by the terminal device. For example, PDCCH is not received, if HARQ feedback is ACK, the terminal apparatus does not perform transmission (retransmission), holds the data in the HARQ buffer. In that case, it may PDCCH is sent to resume retransmission. Further, for example, PDCCH is not received, if HARQ feedback is NACK, the terminal device performs a non-adaptive retransmission in a given uplink subframe. For example, when the PDCCH is received, regardless of the content of the HARQ feedback, the terminal device based on the content to be notified by the PDCCH, performs transmission or retransmission.
[0146]
Incidentally, in the uplink, when a predetermined condition is satisfied (setting), HARQ may be operated only asynchronously. In other words, the downlink HARQ-ACK is not sent may be scheduled through always PDCCH retransmission in the uplink.
[0147]
In HARQ-ACK report, HARQ-ACK indicates the ACK, NACK or DTX,. If HARQ-ACK is ACK, the transport block corresponding to the HARQ-ACK (codeword, channels) indicates that the correctly received (decoded). If HARQ-ACK is NACK, indicating that the HARQ-ACK in the corresponding transport block (codeword, channels) that could not be correctly received (decoded). If HARQ-ACK is DTX, indicating that the transport block corresponding to the HARQ-ACK (codewords, channel) does not exist (not transmitted).
[0148]
In each of the downlink and uplink, a predetermined number of HARQ processes is set (defined). For example, in FDD, up to eight HARQ process is used for each serving cell. Further, for example, in TDD, the maximum number of HARQ processes is determined by the uplink / downlink configuration. The maximum number of HARQ processes may be determined based on the RTT (Round Trip Time). For example, if the RTT is 8 TTIs, the maximum number of HARQ processes can be 8.
[0149]
In the present embodiment, HARQ information consists of at least NDI (New Data Indicator) and TBS (transport block size). NDI is information indicating whether retransmission transport block is initially transmitted corresponding to the HARQ information. TBS is the size of the transport block. Transport block is a block of data in the transport channels (Transport Layer) can be a unit of HARQ. In DL-SCH transmission, HARQ information includes a further HARQ process ID (HARQ process number). In UL-SCH transmission, HARQ information further comprises an RV (Redundancy Version) is information for specifying the information bits and parity bits after encoding for the transport block. For spatial multiplexing in DL-SCH, the HARQ information includes a set of NDI and TBS for each transport block.

[0160]
In NR, a physical channel and / or physical signal may be transmitted by the self-contained transmission (self-contained transmission). Figure 13 shows an example of a frame structure of a self-contained transmission in the present embodiment. The self-contained transmission, one transmission and reception, the downlink successive transmissions from the head, GP, and consists of consecutive downlink transmission order. The successive downlink transmission includes at least one downlink control information and DMRS. As downlink control information instructing transmission of the uplink physical channel included in the uplink transmission to reception, or continuous downlink physical channels included in a downlink transmission to the continuous. If the downlink control information instructs the receiving of the downlink physical channel, the terminal device 2 attempts to receive the downlink physical channel based on the downlink control information. Then, the terminal apparatus 2, the reception success or failure of the downlink physical channel (decoding success or failure), and transmits the uplink control channel included in the uplink transmission to be allocated after GP. On the other hand, if the downlink control information instructs the transmission of the uplink physical channels, for transmission, including the uplink physical channel transmitted based on the downlink control information on uplink transmission. Thus, the downlink control information, by switching flexibly transmit the transmission and downlink data uplink data, it is possible to respond immediately to changes in the traffic ratio of uplink and downlink. Further, by notifying in uplink transmission immediately after the reception success or failure of the downlink, it is possible to realize low delay communication of the downlink.
[0161]
Unit slot time, downlink transmission, the smallest time unit to define a GP or uplink transmission. Unit slot time, downlink transmission, is reserved for either the GP or uplink transmission. Some unit slot time, both the downlink transmission and uplink transmission is not included. Unit slot time may be the minimum transmission time of the channel associated with the DMRS included in the unit slot time. One unit slot time is, for example, the sampling interval (T a NR s is defined as an integer multiple of) or symbol length.
[0162]
A unit frame time may be a minimum time specified by the scheduling. A unit frame time may be a minimum unit which a transport block is transmitted. Unit slot time may have a maximum transmission time of the channel associated with the DMRS included in the unit slot time. A unit frame time may be a unit time for determining the uplink transmission power in the terminal device 2. A unit frame period, may be referred to as a subframe. Units frame time, downlink transmission only, uplink transmission only, three types of combinations of uplink transmission and downlink transmission are present. One unit frame time, for example, the sampling interval of the NR (T s ), is defined as an integer multiple of the symbol length or unit slot time.
[0163]
Reception time is the one reception time. One transceiver and another between the transmission and reception, which physical channels and physical signals also occupied by the time not transmitted (the gap). The terminal apparatus 2, do not mean the CSI measurements between different transceiver. Receiving time may also be referred to as TTI.

orthogonal multiple access: In (Orthogonal Multiple Access OMA), performs transmission and reception using a frequency axis and a time axis for example orthogonal. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, a frame configuration of frequency and time resources are determined by the subcarrier spacing can not be used more than the number of resources a resource element. On the other hand, in the NOMA, in addition to the frequency axis and time axis orthogonal, non-orthogonal axes, for example, Interleave PatternV axis, Spreading Pattern axis, Scrambling Pattern axis, Codebook axis, by adding such Power shaft, a frame construction There are determined. For example, Figure 14 is a resource to be multiplexed in multiplexed transmission signal in a non-orthogonal axes in the transmitting apparatus, and a non-orthogonal axis represents all cases the same parameter set. Here, the transmitting device indicates one of the base station apparatus 1 or the terminal apparatus 2. Transmitting device, providing a plurality of transmission signal set for the multiplex. In Figure 14, it is assumed that two transmission signal set is multiplexed. Although here it is two and the number of transmission signal set may be three or more transmission signal set. Also, each of the transmission signal set may be a transmission signal for the separate receiving device may be a transmission signal for the same receiver. Here, the receiving device indicates one of the base station apparatus 1 or the terminal apparatus 2. Each transmission signal set corresponding NOMA Pattern Vector is applied. Here, the NOMA Pattern Vector, for example, Interleave pattern, Spreading Pattern, Scrambling Pattern, Codebook, Power Allocation, and the like. NOMA Pattern Vector after application of signals are multiplexed on the same frequency and time resource are sent to the same antenna port. Although multiplexed transmission signal set of the same parameter set 14, it may be multiplexed transmission signal set for the different parameter sets.
[0165]
Figure 15 is an example of the receiving apparatus. As shown in FIG. 15, the reception signal, a plurality of transmission signals on the same frequency and time resources are received in a state of being multiplexed. Receiver, for decoding the multiplexed transmitted signal set, to apply the applied NOMA Pattern Vector at the transmitter, the channel equalization and interference signal canceller retrieve a desired signal. At this time, if you've multiple used the same NOMA Pattern Vector, the influence of interference between multiplexed signals becomes large, it becomes difficult to decode.
[0166]
As described above, in the NOMA sends share NOMA Pattern Vector applied by the transmission apparatus and the receiving apparatus between the transmitter and receiver, and it is necessary to NOMA Pattern Vector is applied without overlapping.

In the downlink, each subframe includes a PDCCH and PDSCH. In the uplink, each subframe includes a PUCCH. PDCCH is transmitted containing information about the scheduling of PDSCH in the subframe or the subsequent subframe. PUCCH is transmitted contains information for reporting HARQ-ACK for PDSCH transmitted in the previous downlink sub-frame than the uplink subframe.
[0173]
In FIG. 18, PUCCH is reporting the HARQ-ACK for the PDSCH in the previous sub-frame, it is not limited thereto, HARQ-ACK is a predetermined number of subframes for receiving PDSCH It can report PUCCH after the sub-frame. The predetermined number may be predefined or may be set in the terminal-specific or base station-specific.
[0174]
Figure 19 shows a configuration example of a Self-contained, sub frame when the PDSCH transmission. Figure 19 shows the four sub-frames in the downlink and uplink. In the downlink, each subframe includes a PDCCH and PDSCH. In the uplink, each subframe includes a PUCCH. PDCCH is transmitted containing information about the scheduling of PDSCH in the subframe or the subsequent subframe. PUCCH is transmitted contains information for reporting HARQ-ACK for the uplink sent in the same downlink subframe as the subframe PDSCH.
[0175]
The frame structure in FIG. 19, the transmission time of the PDSCH (the last symbols), and the processing time to generate information for reporting HARQ-ACK of PDSCH, in consideration of the time (symbol) to transmit the PUCCH determined.
[0176]
Frame structure shown in the frame structure and 19 shown in FIG. 18, respectively when the PDSCH transmission (i.e., PDCCH may notify the scheduling information PDSCH) has been described, if the PUSCH transmission (i.e., PDCCH is PUSCH when notifying scheduling information) even it can take the same variety of frame configurations.
[0177]
Figure 20 shows a configuration example of a Non self-contained, subframes in the case of PUSCH transmission. Figure 20 shows the four sub-frames in the downlink and uplink. In the downlink, each subframe includes a PDCCH. In the uplink, each subframe includes a PUCCH and PUSCH. PDCCH is transmitted containing information about the scheduling of PUSCH in that subframe subsequent uplink subframe.
[0178]
In FIG. 20, PUSCH has been scheduled by the PDCCH in the previous sub-frame, it is not limited to this, a predetermined number of subframes before the PDCCH the uplink subframe to transmit the PUSCH in can be scheduled. The predetermined number may be predefined or may be set in the terminal-specific or base station-specific.
[0179]
Figure 21 shows a configuration example of a Self-contained, subframes in the case of PUSCH transmission. Figure 21 shows the four sub-frames in the downlink and uplink. In the downlink, each subframe includes a PDCCH. In the uplink, each subframe includes a PUCCH and PUSCH. PDCCH is transmitted containing information about the scheduling of PUSCH in the uplink subframe.
[0180]
The frame structure in FIG. 21, the transmission time of the PUSCH (the first symbol) of a processing time to generate a PUSCH based on the scheduling of the PDCCH, determined in consideration of the time (symbol) to transmit the PDCCH.
[0181]
In the following description, illustrating a case of PDSCH transmission as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 can be applied the same description in the case of PUSCH transmission as shown in FIGS. 20 and 21. Therefore, unless otherwise specified, the technical and contents in PDSCH transmission can be replaced with PUSCH transmission.
[0182]
Further, in the frame structure shown in FIG. 19, the last symbol of the PDSCH becomes before the last symbol of the downlink subframe. In the downlink subframe, the last rear of symbols (hereinafter, also GAP region downlink are referred.) Than a symbol of the PDSCH, nothing may be configured not to transmit, the other downlink channels and / or it may send a downlink signal.
[0183]
For example, GAP area of downlink, PBCH for transmitting MIB (Master Information Block), used to map the channel for notifying PDSCH or a plurality of terminal devices, transmits a SIB (System Information Block). Further, for example, GAP area of downlink, used for transmission of the CSI-RS used for performing synchronization signals such as PSS or SSS, the detection signal is used to perform RRM measurement (Discovery Signal), a CSI measurement It is.
[0184]
Further, in the frame structure shown in FIG. 21, the first symbol of the PUSCH it is made later than the first symbol of the uplink sub-frame. In the uplink subframe, the first previous symbol from the symbol of the PUSCH (hereinafter. To be also referred to as GAP region uplink), nothing may be configured not to transmit, the other uplink channel and / or it may transmit the uplink signal.
[0185]
For example, GAP region uplink, PUCCH for transmitting sounding RS for measuring the channel state of the uplink, DMRS for PUSCH transmitted in the uplink sub-frame, a predetermined UCI the (Uplink Control Information) it can be used to map and PUCCH to report HARQ-ACK for the previous transmitted PDSCH in the downlink subframe.
[0186]
In the above description it has been described in different drawings to FIGS. 18 to 21, these frame structure may be used in combination with each other (at the same time). That is, it is possible to more PDCCH is multiplexed and transmitted by a predetermined method, depending on the DCI (Downlink Control Information) notified by the PDCCH, performs PDSCH transmission and / or PUSCH transmission.
[0187]
For example, both the PDSCH transmission and PUSCH transmission may be either a Non self-contained, the sub-frame or Self-contained, subframe. That is, FIG. 18 and FIG. 20 can be used at the same time, 19 and 21 can be used simultaneously.
[0188]
Further, for example, each of the PDSCH transmission and PUSCH transmission may be Non self-contained, the sub-frame or Self-contained, subframe different from each other. That is, FIG. 18 and FIG. 21 can be used at the same time, 19 and 20 can be used simultaneously.
[0189]
Note that the LTE and NR, since the frequency band used is different it is assumed, for example, a region for transmitting the HARQ-ACK in the LTE and NR collide is avoided. Also, in the LTE and NR, as the frequency band used is duplicated by dividing the region for transmitting the HARQ-ACK in the LTE and NR (e.g., such as using different RB), avoiding collisions can.
[0190]

[0192]
For the transmission of the PDSCH, the first direction is downlink, the first channel is a data channel (e.g., PDSCH), the second direction is uplink, the second channel control channel (e.g. , a PUCCH). Then, the base station apparatus 1 (e.g., the communication control unit 1013) controls the transmission and reception of the PUCCH PDSCH. The terminal device 2 (e.g., the communication control unit 2013) controls the transmission and reception of the PDSCH PUCCH. Here, PUCCH is, in that it includes a HARQ-ACK for the PDSCH, and corresponds to the PDSCH and the PUCCH.
[0193]
For the transmission of the PUSCH, the first direction is downlink, the first channel is a control channel (e.g., PDCCH), the second direction is uplink, the second channel data channel (e.g. , it is a PUSCH). Then, the base station apparatus 1 (e.g., the communication control unit 1013) controls the transmission and reception of the PUSCH of the PDCCH. The terminal device 2 (e.g., the communication control unit 2013) controls the transmission and reception of PDCCH of PUSCH. Here, PUSCH is, a point that is transmitted and received in accordance with the scheduling information included in the PDCCH, and corresponds to the PDCCH and PUSCH.
[0194]
Besides, the first direction and the second direction may be a direction of each facing in the side links. The first direction and the second direction may be a direction of each of the opposing the link established in D2D (device to device) communication or MTC (Machine Type Communication).
[0195]
The communication apparatus according to this embodiment, the control mode for the transmission and reception of the first channel and a second channel of the set to the first mode or the second mode. For example, the base station apparatus 1 (e.g., setting unit 1011), the other communication device of the communication partner (e.g., the terminal device 2) to notify the setting information indicating whether to set which control mode. The terminal device 2 (e.g., the setting unit 2011), the other communication device of the communication partner (e.g., base station apparatus 1) to set the control mode based on the notified configuration information from. Configuration information, other information representing a control mode, for example (information indicating the position of the Self-contained, the last PDSCH in a subframe first symbol position information or PUSCH indicating symbols, etc.) information indicating the sub-frame configuration, etc. It may include. The setting information may be notified by various means. For example, setting information, static or semi-statically by means of RRC signaling or MAC signaling, or may be dynamically notified using DCI.
[0196]
The first mode is a control mode using the frame structure shown in the frame configuration or 20 shown in FIG. 18. That is, the first mode is a control mode using Non self-contained, subframe. Communication device, in a first mode, transmitting and receiving the first and second channels at different sub-frames. For example, with respect to FIG. 18, the base station apparatus 1 and the terminal device 2 transmits and receives PDSCH, for transmitting and receiving PUCCH corresponding to the PDSCH in a subframe after one sub-frame containing the PDSCH. For example, with respect to FIG. 20, the base station apparatus 1 and the terminal device 2 transmits and receives PDCCH, to send and receive the PUSCH corresponding to the PDCCH in sub-frame one frame after sub-frame containing the PDCCH. Incidentally, the sub-frame here is a kind of frame, may be the same as the sub-frame in LTE, it may be different.
[0197]
The second mode is a control mode using the frame structure shown in the frame configuration or 21 shown in FIG. 19. That is, the second mode is a control mode using Self-contained, subframe. Communication device, in the second mode, transmitting and receiving a first channel and a second channel in the same subframe. For example, with respect to FIG. 19, the base station apparatus 1 and the terminal device 2 transmits and receives PDSCH, the same sub-frame containing the PDSCH (e.g., the same frame number) a PUCCH corresponding to the PDSCH in subframe to send and receive. For example, with respect to FIG. 21, the base station apparatus 1 and the terminal device 2 transmits and receives PDCCH, to send and receive the PUSCH corresponding to the PDCCH in the same subframe as the subframe including the PDCCH.
[0198]
Incidentally, for each of the PDSCH transmission and PUSCH transmission may be set the same control mode may be different control modes set.
[0199]
As explained above, the timing of the communication to be controlled in the present embodiment, as in the frame structure shown in the frame configuration or 19 shown in FIG. 18, includes a transmission timing of the HARQ-ACK report corresponding to PDSCH . Further, the timing of the communication to be controlled in the present embodiment, as in the frame structure shown in the frame configuration or 21 shown in FIG. 20, a transmission timing of the PUSCH to be scheduled by the PDCCH.
[0200]
· First mode and the difference from the second mode
the first mode (i.e., the frame structure shown in the frame configuration or 20 shown in FIG. 18) and a second mode (i.e., the frame configuration shown in FIG. 19 or describe the differences from the frame structure) shown in FIG. 21.
[0201]
The first difference relates to the distance between the first and second channels. Specifically, the first difference is from the reception of the PDSCH, about time to generate information for reporting HARQ-ACK for the PDSCH. The first difference is that after receiving the PDCCH, about time to generate uplink data to transmit a PUSCH to be scheduled by the PDCCH.
[0202]
First, in the second mode, including PDSCH and HARQ-ACK report, or including PDCCH and PUSCH, since the completed in one sub-frame, so as not to affect the transmission and reception of the other sub-frame it is possible to be. The second mode, the processing time from the reception of the PDSCH to the generation of the HARQ-ACK, or the processing time from the reception of the PDCCH until generating a PUSCH is shorter than the first mode , is relatively large processing load on the terminal apparatus 2.
[0203]
On the other hand, in the first mode, the processing time from the reception of the PDSCH to the generation of the HARQ-ACK, or the processing time from the reception of the PDCCH until generating a PUSCH as compared to the second mode long, the load of the processing of the terminal device 2 is relatively small. In the first mode, in consideration of the sub-frame for transmitting the subframe or the PUSCH to report the HARQ-ACK, it determined the use of uplink sub-frame.
[0204]
Therefore, the control mode, the processing capability of the terminal device 2, or depending on the use case to the base station apparatus 1 is supported, the terminal device 2-specific, or the base station device 1 may be specific to the set.
[0205]
The second difference is the last symbol of the PDSCH, and, for the first symbol of the PUSCH.
[0206]
First, in the second mode, in the same subframe, PUCCH including HARQ-ACK for the PDSCH and the PDSCH is transmitted. Therefore, the last symbol of the PDSCH, and thus determined on the basis of the processing time to generate information for reporting HARQ-ACK, the time to transmit the PUCCH including the HARQ-ACK (symbol) for at least PDSCH . Thus, at least in a second mode, PDSCH (i.e., a first channel) the last symbol of the is set to the previous position than the last symbol of the downlink sub-frame including the PDSCH. Incidentally, the last symbol of the PDSCH, for example may be statically or semi-statically notified and set by RRC signaling, for example may be dynamically notified and set by DCI.
[0207]
In the second mode, in the same subframe, scheduled PUSCH is transmitted by the PDCCH and the PDCCH. Therefore, the first symbol of the PUSCH, and the time for transmitting at least PDCCH (symbols), so that the determined based on the processing time to generate the PUSCH including the uplink data based on the PDCCH. Thus, at least in a second mode, PUSCH (i.e., second channel) first symbol of is set to a position later than the first symbol of the uplink sub-frame including the PUSCH. Note that the first symbol of the PUSCH, for example may be statically or semi-statically notified and set by RRC signaling, for example may be dynamically notified and set by DCI.
[0208]
Here, the first symbol of the last symbol or PUSCH of the PDSCH, the processing capability terminal device 2, or depending on the use case that the base station apparatus 1 is supported, each terminal device 2-specific, or the base station apparatus 1 specific to may be set.
[0209]
On the other hand, in the first mode, PUCCH for HARQ report corresponds to the PDSCH sent by a certain downlink subframe is transmitted behind the uplink subframe than its downlink subframe. Thus, in the first mode, PDSCH (i.e., a first channel) the last symbol of may be set to the same position as the last symbol of the downlink sub-frame including the PDSCH.
[0210]
In the first mode, PUSCH including uplink data to be scheduled by the PDCCH to be transmitted in the downlink sub-frame that is transmitted in the uplink sub-frame after than its downlink subframe. Thus, in the first mode, PUSCH (i.e., second channel) first symbol of may be set to the same position as the first symbol of the uplink sub-frame including the PUSCH.
[0211]
· Processing Flow
Referring to FIG. 22, an example of the flow of setting processing of the control modes described above in the terminal apparatus 2. Figure 22 is a flowchart showing an exemplary flow of a control mode setting processing executed in the terminal apparatus 2 according to the present embodiment.
[0212]
As shown in FIG. 22, first, the terminal apparatus 2 sets the control mode to the first mode or the second mode (step S102). For example, the terminal device 2 according to the setting information received via the RRC signaling from the base station apparatus 1 is set to the first mode or the second mode.
[0213]
Then, when the control mode set is the first mode (step S104 / first mode), the terminal apparatus 2 performs transmission at a timing according to the first mode (step S106). For example, the terminal device 2 transmits the PUCCH corresponding to the PDSCH in one or more subsequent subframes of a subframe including the received PDSCH. Further, for example, the terminal device 2, in one or more subsequent subframes of a subframe including the received PDCCH, and transmits a PUSCH that is scheduled by the PDCCH.
[0214]
On the other hand, if the control mode set is the second mode (step S104 / second mode), the terminal apparatus 2 performs transmission at a timing according to the second mode (step S108). For example, the terminal device 2 transmits the PUCCH corresponding to the PDSCH in the same subframe as the subframe including the received PDSCH. Further, for example, the terminal device 2 in the same subframe as the subframe including the received PDCCH, and transmits a PUSCH that is scheduled by the PDCCH.
[0215]
Thus, the process ends.
[0216]
Further processing, such as may also be carried out separately for each cell or parameter set. That is, the control mode described above in the terminal apparatus 2 can be set individually for each cell or parameter set.
[0217]
- terminal capability information
, where the second mode is shorter processing time until the transmission of the PUCCH or PUSCH, the terminal device 2 that supports the second mode is likely to be required high throughput. Therefore, the base station apparatus 1, when the terminal device 2 has a supportable high throughput the second mode may be enabled setting the second mode.
[0218]
For example, the terminal device 2, the information indicating its own processing capabilities, more specifically the terminal capability information is information that indicates whether or not to support the second mode (e.g., UE capability information), the base station apparatus to notify the 1. Then, the base station apparatus 1, based on the terminal capability information from the terminal device 2 sets the control mode. For example, the terminal apparatus 2 may set the first mode unless it receives the setting information is from the base station apparatus 1 to set the second mode. Then, the terminal device 2, the second mode may be set when receiving the setting information is to be set a second mode from the base station apparatus 1. The terminal capability information such as described above, may be able to notify individually for each parameter set. Also, in certain parameter set, the terminal capability such as above may be defined as an essential function (Mandatori function).
[0219]
The flow of processing in this case will be described with reference to FIG. 23.
[0220]
Figure 23 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the flow control mode setting processing executed in the wireless communication system according to this embodiment. This sequence, the base station apparatus 1 and terminal apparatus 2 is involved.
[0221]
As shown in FIG. 23, first, the base station apparatus 1 transmits an inquiry of the terminal capability information to the terminal device 2 (step S202). Then, the terminal device 2 transmits a terminal capability information including information that indicates whether or not to support the second mode to the base station apparatus 1 (step S204). Then, the base station apparatus 1, when the terminal device 2 supports the second mode, and transmits the setting information to the effect that setting the second mode of the terminal device 2 (step S206). Messages so far is transmitted and received in accordance with the first mode. The terminal device 2 sets the second mode, to transmit at the timing according to the second mode (step S208).
[0222]
(2) Variation of setting
the terminal device 2 (e.g., the setting unit 2011) may employ a variety of setting methods. For example, in the above, the control mode has been described as being set explicitly with the base station apparatus 1 to notify the setting information to the terminal device 2 (Explicit), setting the control mode limited thereto not. For example, the control mode may be set implicitly (Implicit) based on the setting or state of the base station apparatus 1 or the terminal apparatus 2.
[0223]
Further, by setting the control mode, to switch between the first mode and the second mode it may be regarded as.
[0224]
The terminal device 2, the setting of the control mode may be set the time until enabled. For example, the terminal device 2, set the control mode, the time until the setting is enabled, it may be set to a predetermined time may be set separately. Further, the time until the setting takes effect may be set, for example, the sub-frame as a unit.
[0225]
An example of a - set reference
Hereinafter, an example of criteria for setting the control mode.
[0226]
For example, the control mode may be set according to the information of the terminal device 2. Specifically, control mode, whether status of the terminal device 2 is a predetermined status, based state of the terminal 2, the application operating on the terminal apparatus 2, the use case and / or settings, it may be set to the first mode or the second mode.
[0227]
For example, the control mode, there are default settings may be switched as necessary. Specifically, the control mode is the default first mode is set, the second mode may be set when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The predetermined condition is such that it has received the setting information for example from the base station apparatus 1 to the effect that setting the second mode. For example, the terminal device 2, until the second mode is set to operate in a first mode, operating in the second mode after the second mode is set.
[0228]
For example, the control mode may be set according to the capability of the base station apparatus 1. Specifically, the control mode, at the time of initial access by the terminal apparatus 2 is set the first mode, if it is connected to the base station apparatus 1 to support the second mode be set a second mode good.
[0229]
For example, the control mode may be set according to the RRC state. Specifically, the control mode, the RRC connection (RRC Connected) state is set the first mode, it may be set a second mode in RRC idle (RRC Idle) state. Conversely, the control mode, the RRC idle state is set the first mode, it may be set a second mode in RRC connected state.
[0230]
For example, the control mode may be set according to the access method. Specifically, the control mode, when the uplink transmission is orthogonal access scheme is set the first mode, when the uplink transmission is in a non-orthogonal access method may be set a second mode. For example, the terminal device 2, based on the RRC signaling, sets the use of orthogonal access method or non-orthogonal access scheme, sets the implicitly control mode accordingly.
[0231]
For example, the control mode may be set according to the type of sub-frame used. Specifically, the control mode, the first mode is set when a Non self-contained, the sub-frame is used, the second mode may be set when the Self-contained, subframes are used . Further, in a case where if the Self-contained, subframe Non self-contained, the sub-frame is used is used, may be a parameter for determining the value of the timing advance individually set.
[0232]
For example, the control mode may be set according to the duplex scheme. Specifically, the control mode, in the case of TDD is set the first mode, in the case of FDD may be set the second mode.
[0233]
For example, the control mode may be set according to the application or use case. Specifically, in the case of the first application or the first use case is set the first mode, in the case of the second application or the second use case may be set the second mode. For example, the first application or the first use case is an application or use case of high-speed and broadband communication, a second application or the second use case is the low-latency communication applications or use cases.
[0234]
For example, the control mode may be set according to the sub-carrier interval. Specifically, the control mode, the first mode is set when the subcarrier interval is less or if the first sub-carrier interval threshold, or if the second subcarrier subcarrier spacing exceeds the threshold second mode may be set when an interval. The threshold may be a 15kHz is subcarrier spacing for example in LTE. Incidentally, when part of a set of parameters subcarrier interval is set, the control mode may be set according to the parameter set.
[0235]
For example, the control mode, TTI (Transmission Time Interval) may be set depending on the length. Specifically, the control mode, the first mode is set when the TTI length in case of the threshold value or less or the first TTI length, first in the case of the case or the second TTI length TTI length exceeds the threshold 2 of the mode may be set. The threshold may be, for example, 1 millisecond. Incidentally, when part of a set of parameters TTI length is set, the control mode may be set according to the parameter set.
[0236]
The above setting criteria may be combined appropriately. For example, the control mode may be set according to the combination of RRC states and access method. If the non-orthogonal access scheme is used, even without performing the timing advance to be made in order to obtain orthogonality becomes RRC connected state, the terminal apparatus 2 is for possible transmission.
[0237]
Further, in the above description, a specific example of a case where when the second mode in which the first mode is set is set, the first mode and the second mode is reversed in each of the embodiments settings may be.
[0238]
- Exception
terminal device 2 (e.g., the setting unit 2011), even if you set the control mode based on the setting information from the base station apparatus 1, exceptionally the control mode under a predetermined condition it may be switched. For example, the terminal device 2, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, for a given situation, if the transmission of the predetermined channel, and / or transmission of a predetermined signal may be switched control mode. For example, the terminal device 2, the second even if you set the mode, if any of the following may be switched to the first mode based on the setting information from the base station apparatus 1.
[0239]
For example, the terminal apparatus 2 may switch the control mode depending on the stage of the access process. For example, the terminal device 2, when performing a random access process, switching to the first mode.
[0240]
For example, the terminal apparatus 2 may switch the control mode according to the type of channel to be transmitted. For example, the terminal device 2, when transmitting a random access channel, switches to the first mode.
[0241]
For example, the terminal device 2, depending on the size of data to be transmitted or received, may switch the control mode to the first mode. Specifically, the terminal device 2, when the data size to be transmitted or received is greater than the threshold, switch to the first mode. Here, the data size can mean size of the transport block size or codeword.
[0242]
For example, the terminal device 2, in accordance with the order (Modulation order) in the number of allocated resource blocks and / or modulation scheme may be switched to the control mode to the first mode. Specifically, the terminal device 2, when the number of allocated resource blocks is greater than the threshold value, and / or when the order of the modulation scheme is greater than the threshold value, switches to the first mode. This has the same meaning as to switch depending on the data size.
[0243]
For example, the terminal device 2, when it is notified from the base station apparatus 1 to set explicitly or implicitly first mode by DCI, may switch the control mode to the first mode. That is, the terminal device 2, while setting the second mode of statically or quasi-static based on the notification using the RRC signaling, dynamically switches to the first mode based on the notification using DCI .
[0244]
For example, the terminal apparatus 2, according to the value of the timing advance to be set (Timing Advance), may switch the control mode to the first mode. Specifically, the terminal device 2, when the value of the timing advance to be set is equal to or less than the first threshold value or more or the second threshold value, switches to the first mode. Note that the first threshold and the second threshold value may be the same or may be different. The value of the timing advance, the more the timing of the uplink transmission is advanced large, directly connected for example from the reception of the PDSCH of the length of the processing time to generate the HARQ-ACK. Therefore, the terminal device 2, when the processing time is too short, it is possible to secure a longer processing time than it is switched to the first mode.
[0245]
For example, the terminal device 2, a downlink control channel including scheduling information (e.g., PDCCH) according to RNTI used for scrambling may be switching the control mode to the first mode. Specifically, the terminal device 2, when the control channel of the downlink includes a scheduling information is scrambled using a predetermined RNTI, it switches to the first mode. Here, the predetermined RNTI, an RNTI not specific to the terminal device 2. For example, the predetermined RNTI, may be RNTI used to transmit broadcast information.
[0246]
For example, the terminal device 2, a downlink control channel including scheduling information (e.g., PDCCH) according to the search space is mapped, it may switch the control mode to the first mode. Specifically, the terminal device 2, when the control channel of the downlink includes a scheduling information is mapped to a predetermined search space, it switches the first mode. Here, the predetermined search spaces may be, for example, a common search space. Be switched in response to the search space, the control channel is a point as a reference whether the terminal apparatus 2 itself for the same as the to switch depending on the RNTI.
[0247]
For example, the terminal device 2, depending on whether to perform multi-subframe scheduling for scheduling for a plurality of sub-frame (TTI) (Multi-TTI scheduling), may switch the control mode to the first mode. Specifically, the terminal device 2, when performing single subframe scheduling of scheduling for one sub-frame (single TTI scheduling) uses the second mode, when performing multi-subframe scheduling, first using a mode of.
[0248]
The reference exception handling described above, it can be combined as appropriate. The reference exception handling described above, the first mode and the second mode may be reversed. That is, the first mode is set based on the setting information, it may be switched to the exceptionally second mode based on the reference.
[0249]
<2.4.
More> of PUCCH configuration PUCCH is used to notify the UCI. The UCI, including HARQ-ACK, CSI, the SR. The physical resources for mapping the PUCCH can be shared by multiple terminals 2. That is, the physical resource of the PUCCH, a plurality of PUCCH may be multiplexed. For example, PUCCH shown in FIGS. 18 to 21 may represent a physical resource of PUCCH, can send another terminal apparatus even PUCCH 2 in the physical resources.
[0250]
The following describes the details of the PUCCH configuration.
[0251]
Uplink control channel (e.g., PUCCH) physical resources, in the uplink subframe, uplink data channel (e.g., PUSCH) and may be multiplexed in the frequency domain or the time domain. This point will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS. 24 and 25. Incidentally, the physical resources of the PUCCH, for multiplexing a plurality of PUCCH, may constitute a logical resource of PUCCH. For example, physical resources of a PUCCH is time, constituting a frequency, code, space, or by an antenna port, a logical resource of a plurality of PUCCH. The base station apparatus 1 and terminal apparatus 2, (and later, just with PUCCH resources are referred) thereof PUCCH logic resources using, can be transmitted and received PUCCH.
[0252]
Figure 24 is an example of PUCCH configuration. In the example shown in FIG. 24, the physical resources of the PUCCH is multiplexed in the PUSCH and the time domain. In PUCCH configuration shown in FIG. 24, the physical resources of the PUCCH is composed of some of the symbols in the uplink sub-frame. The physical resources of the PUCCH may be over the system bandwidth in the uplink sub-frame. Further, PUCCH physical resource, in the frequency domain, in order to multiplex a plurality of PUCCH, the unit of a predetermined frequency range (e.g., resource blocks, etc.) based on, may be divided. For example, PUCCH configuration shown in FIG. 24 is suitable for the first mode (Non self-contained sub-frame structure) and a second mode (Self-contained, subframe configuration).
[0253]
Figure 25 is an example of PUCCH configuration. In the example shown in FIG. 25, the physical resources of the PUCCH is multiplexed in the PUSCH and a frequency domain. In PUCCH configuration shown in FIG. 25, the physical resources of the PUCCH is composed of part of the resource blocks in the uplink subframe. The physical resources of the PUCCH may be over all symbols in the uplink sub-frame. For example, PUCCH configuration shown in FIG. 25 is suitable only in the first mode (Non self-contained sub-frame configuration). In the second mode, it is requiring it to send PUCCH the PUCCH including the HARQ-ACK, it is requiring to transmit in the same subframe and the PDSCH, i.e. in the time after the sub-frame for example for PDSCH This is because.
[0254]
For example, PUCCH configuration shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, predetermined parameters, states, on the basis of such settings may be used by switching. For example, in the first mode, PUCCH configuration is used as shown in Figure 25, in the second mode, PUCCH configuration shown in Figure 24 is used. Further, for example, in the first mode, PUCCH configuration shown in PUCCH configuration or 25 shown in Figure 24 based on the RRC signaling is used, in the second mode, the PUCCH configuration shown in FIG. 24 used.
[0255]
<2.5. Supplementary>
In the above has been described for controlling the transmission timing in the uplink, the present technology is not limited thereto. For example, the present technique can also be applied to the control of transmission timing in the side links. Here, transmission timing in the side link is adjusted based on the timing reference frame. That is, the terminal device 2, the transmission of the i-th radio frame in side links, based on the corresponding i-th timing reference radio frame is performed at a timing before or after a predetermined timing advance time.
