For common USS is set to a plurality of terminal devices, parameters specific to the terminal apparatus 2 is set to be the same value among the plurality of terminal devices. For example, unit set to the same parameters between the plurality of terminal devices, cell, and the like transmission point or a group of a predetermined terminal device.
[0120]
Search space of aggregation level each is defined by a set of PDCCH candidates. Each PDCCH, are transmitted using a set of one or more CCE (Control Channel Element). The number of CCE used for one PDCCH is also aggregation level is referred. For example, the number of CCE's used for one PDCCH is 1, 2, 4 or 8.
[0121]
Search space of aggregation level each is defined by a set of EPDCCH candidate. Each EPDCCH, is transmitted using a set of one or more ECCE (Enhanced Control Channel Element). The number of ECCE used in one EPDCCH is also aggregation level is referred. For example, the number of ECCE used in one EPDCCH is 1,2,4,8,16 or 32.
[0122]
Count of the number or EPDCCH candidates PDCCH candidates is determined based on at least the search space and aggregation level. For example, in CSS, the number of PDCCH candidates in aggregation level 4, and 8 are respectively 4 and 2. For example, in the USS, the number of PDCCH candidates in aggregation 1, 2, 4, and 8 are each 6,6,2 and 2.
[0123]
Each ECCE is composed of a plurality of EREG (Enhanced resource element group). EREG is used to define the mapping for resource elements EPDCCH. In each RB pair are numbered from 0 to 15, 16 EREG is defined. That is, in each RB pair, EREG0 ~ EREG15 are defined. In each RB pair, EREG0 ~ EREG15, relative to resource elements other than resource elements in which a predetermined signal and / or channel is mapped, in favor of a frequency direction, it is periodically defined. For example, resource elements demodulation reference signal associated with the EPDCCH transmitted on antennas ports 107-110 is mapped does not define the EREG.
[0124]
The number of ECCE used in one EPDCCH depends on EPDCCH format is determined based on other parameters. The number of ECCE used in one EPDCCH is also aggregation level is referred. For example, the number of ECCE used in one EPDCCH the number of resource elements which can be used for EPDCCH transmission in one RB pair based the like on the transmission method of EPDCCH, is determined. For example, the number of ECCE used in one EPDCCH is 1,2,4,8,16 or 32. The number of EREG used in one ECCE is determined based on the type and the type of cyclic prefix sub-frame, 4 or 8. Method of transmitting the EPDCCH, distributed transmission (Distributed Transmission) and localized transmission (the Localized Transmission) is supported.
[0125]
EPDCCH may use distributed transmission or localized transmission. Distributed transmission and localized transmission, the mapping of ECCE is different for EREG and RB pair. For example, in a distributed transmission, one ECCE is constructed of a EREG multiple RB pairs. In localized transmission, one ECCE is constructed of a EREG one RB pair.
[0126]
The base station apparatus 1 to the terminal device 2 performs the setting for EPDCCH. Terminal device 2, based on the setting from the base station apparatus 1, for monitoring a plurality of EPDCCH. Set of RB pairs terminal device 2 for monitoring the EPDCCH can be set. Set of RB pair are referred to as EPDCCH set or EPDCCH-PRB set. To one of the terminal device 2 can be set more than one EPDCCH set. Each EPDCCH set consists of one or more RB pairs. Also, settings for EPDCCH can be performed separately for each EPDCCH set.
[0127]
The base station apparatus 1 to the terminal device 2, can be set EPDCCH set of a predetermined number. For example, EPDCCH set up to two, as EPDCCH set 0 and / or EPDCCH set 1 can be set. Each EPDCCH set, can be constituted by a predetermined number of RB pairs. Each EPDCCH set constitute one set of ECCE. The number of ECCE constructed in one EPDCCH sets, the number of RB pairs is set as the EPDCCH set, and, based on the number of EREG used in one ECCE, it is determined. If the number of ECCE constructed in one EPDCCH sets is N, each EPDCCH set constitutes the ECCE, numbered 0 ~ N-1. For example, when the number of EREG used in one ECCE is 4, the EPDCCH set composed of four RB pairs constituting 16 ECCE.
[0128]
terminal 2 reports the CSI to the base station apparatus 1 (report). Time and frequency resources used for reporting CSI is controlled by the base station apparatus 1. The terminal apparatus 2, settings for CSI is performed by the RRC signaling from the base station apparatus 1. The terminal apparatus 2, at a given transmission mode, one or more CSI process is set. CSI reported by the terminal device 2 corresponds to the CSI process. For example, CSI process is a unit of the control or setting about the CSI. Each CSI process, CSI-RS resource, CSI-IM resource settings for periodic CSI reporting (e.g., reporting period and offset), and / or can be set settings for aperiodic CSI reports independently.
[0129]
CSI is composed of CQI (Channel quality indicator), PMI (Precoding matrix indicator), PTI (Precoding type indicator), RI (Rank indicator), and / or CRI (CSI-RS resource indicator). RI indicates the number of transmission layers (number of ranks). PMI is information indicating a predefined precoding matrix. PMI is a single information or pieces of information, indicating one precoding matrix. PMI in the case of using the two information are referred to as first PMI and the second PMI. CQI is information indicating a combination of a predefined modulation scheme and a coding rate. CRI, when CSI-RS resource is set two or more in one CSI process, it is information indicating a one CSI-RS resource selected from those CSI-RS resource (single instance). Terminal 2 reports the CSI for recommended base station apparatus 1. The terminal apparatus 2, for each transport block (codeword), reports the CQI satisfying a predetermined reception quality.
[0130]
In CRI report, it is selected one CSI-RS resource from CSI-RS resource set. If the CRI is reported, the reported PMI, CQI and RI is calculated (selected) based on the reported CRI. For example, if the CSI-RS resources set are precoded respectively, by the terminal device 2 to report the CRI, suitable precoding (beam) is reported to the terminal device 2.
[0131]
Periodic CSI reporting possible sub-frame (reporting instances), the parameter of the upper layer (CQIPMI index, RI indices, CRI index) is set by, is determined by the period and the sub-frame offset of the report. The parameter of the upper layer can be set independently for the sub-frame set which is set up to measure the CSI. If only one information to a plurality of subframe set not set, the information may be common among the subframe set. In each of the serving cell, one or more periodic CSI report is set by higher layer signaling.
[0132]
CSI report types, supports the PUCCH CSI reporting mode. CSI report type, also referred to as PUCCH report type. Type 1 report supports the CQI feedback for the terminal selected subband. Type 1a report, supports the sub-band CQI and feed bank of the second PMI. Type 2, type 2b, 2c type report, supports the feedback of wideband CQI and PMI. Type 2a report supports a feed bank of the wide-band PMI. Type 3 report, supports the feedback of RI. Type 4 report, supports the feedback of wide band CQI. Type 5 report, supports the feedback of RI and wideband PMI. Type 6 report, supports the feedback of RI and the PTI. Type 7 report, supports the feedback of CRI and RI. Type 8 report, it supports the feedback of CRI and the RI and wideband PMI. Type 9 report, supports the feedback of CRI and the RI and the PTI. Type 10 report, supports the CRI of feedback.
[0133]
The terminal apparatus 2, information about the CSI measurement and CSI report is set from the base station apparatus 1. CSI measurement reference signal and / or reference resource (e.g., CRS, CSI-RS, CSI-IM resource, and / or DRS) is performed based on. Reference signal used for CSI measurement is determined based on such setting of the transmission mode. CSI measurement is carried out based on the interference measurement with the channel measurement. For example, channel measurement measures the power of the desired cell. Interference measurements, measures the non-desired cell power and noise power.
[0134]
For example, the CSI measurement, the terminal device 2 performs the interference measurement with the channel measurement based on the CRS. For example, the CSI measurement, the terminal device 2 performs the channel measurement based on the CSI-RS, perform interference measurements based on CRS. For example, the CSI measurement, the terminal device 2 performs the channel measurement based on the CSI-RS, perform interference measurement based on the CSI-IM resource.
[0135]
CSI process is set as the information unique to the terminal device 2 by higher layer signaling. Terminal device 2, one or more CSI process is set, perform CSI measurement and CSI reporting based on the configuration of the CSI process. For example, the terminal device 2, when a plurality of CSI process is set to report multiple CSI based on their CSI processes independently. Each CSI process set for the cell status information, CSI process identifier, configuration information about CSI-RS, setting information related to CSI-IM, subframe pattern set for CSI reporting, periodic CSI reporting setting information on, and / or contains configuration information about the aperiodic CSI reporting. The setting for the cell state information may be common to a plurality of CSI processes.
[0136]
Terminal device 2 uses the CSI reference resource to perform CSI measurement. For example, the terminal device 2, using a group of downlink physical resource blocks indicated by the CSI reference resource, measures the CSI when the PDSCH is transmitted. If CSI subframe set is set by higher layer signaling, each CSI reference resource belongs to one of the CSI subframe set, it does not belong to both the CSI subframe set.
