Background technology
Mobile and broadband becomes the developing direction of modern communication technology, 3GPP (3rd GenerationPartnership Project, third generation partner program) is devoted to LTE (Long TermEvolution, Long Term Evolution) system is as the evolution of 3G system, and target is that development 3GPP wireless access technology is towards high data rate, the low delay and the evolution of optimization packet data application direction.In the mobile communication system in future, for example among back three generations (B3G:Beyond three Generation) or the LTE-A, system will provide higher peak data rate and cell data throughput, so system also needs wideer transmission bandwidth.At present the following unappropriated radio frequency resources of 2GHz seldom, the part or all of bandwidth that the B3G system needs can only be on higher frequency range, for example the frequency more than 3GHz is sought.Frequency range is more high, and it is more fast that radio wave propagation is decayed, and transmission range is more short, therefore under the condition of same overlay area, guarantee continuous covering, needs more base station.Because the base station is the higher cost of cost usually, this can increase the cost of arranging net of communication system undoubtedly.In order to reduce the cost of arranging net, each manufacturer and standardization body begin one's study RN (Relay Node, via node) are incorporated in the cellular system, wish that the signal of energy expanding system covers and increase the capacity of system.Because via node RN only realizes simple data processing function usually, so the cost cost is lower than the base station, reasonably uses RN to arrange net, and can reach the purpose that reduces the cost of arranging net.
Relay transmission scheme in the LTE-A system studying with design process in, main design object comprises the RN of (In-band) transmission in half-duplex and the band.So-called half-duplex, i.e. the RN operation that on same frequency, can not receive simultaneously and send out.In the so-called band, be that identical frequency resource is used with transfer of data and the transfer of data between base station and Macro UE and Relay and the Relay-UE between the Relay in the base station, in relay system, the UE that is directly served by the base station is called Macro UE, and the UE that is directly served by Relay is called Relay-UE.
In relay system, frame structure can be divided into each following zone:
Descending access zone, base station and RN send data to Macro UE and Relay UE respectively;
Down mixing zone, base station send data to RN and Macro UE;
Up access zone, Macro UE and Relay UE send data to base station and RN respectively;
Up Mixed Zone, Macro UE and RN send data to the base station.
In order to make the Relay network can compatible Rel-8UE, keep Relay UE with Macro UE identical frame structure to be arranged, just some subframe does not send or receives, adopted the mode of MBSFN subframe to realize the transfer of data of repeated link, as shown in Figure 1, for the MBSFN subframe is used for the schematic diagram that the Relay frame transmits, this scheme is as follows:
In up Mixed Zone, when namely RN sent data to the base station, Relay UE mourned in silence and does not namely transmit any upward signal; In the down mixing zone, when to be the base station to RN send data, the frame structure of Relay is configured to the MBSFN subframe, the descending control signaling zone that namely has 1 or 2 OFDM symbol, being used for Relay sends descending control signaling to the UE of its service (Relay can not receive and come from signal of base station this moment, Relay receives the repeated link data that send the base station after this, and at this moment Relay does not send data to the UE of its service.Fig. 1 has provided the Relay transmission plan based on the tdd frame structure.In the down mixing zone, the repeated link data that the base station is transferred to Relay are that transmit the multiplexing data area of together passing through the MBSFN subframe with the control signaling.
At present the channel architecture of a kind of transmission of possible relay system and indication as shown in Figure 2, descending backhaul (backhaul) subframe by the definition relaying realizes.The descending backhaul subframe of relaying refers to the base station sends downlink data to RN subframe.RN can become this sub-frame configuration the MBSFN subframe.On the OFDM of preceding several control areas symbol, the base station can send PCFICH (PhysicalControl Format Indication Channel, Physical Control Format Indicator Channel), PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel, Physical Downlink Control Channel), PHICH (PhysicalHARQ Indication Channel, the automatic request retransmission indicating channel of physical mixed), RN sends PDCCH for its UE simultaneously, these signals can be and the system compatible of 3GPP Rel-8 that this moment, RN can not receive the PDCCH that the base station sends at identical OFDM symbol.Be to be used for transmitting PDSCH at the later OFDM symbol of the OFDM of preceding several control areas symbol, also can be used for the descending back haul link of relaying simultaneously.Transmission for the descending back haul link of relaying, need be at descending PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, one section special area on the frequency domain is set Physical Downlink Shared Channel), special area as shown in Figure 2, in this inner control zone, zone, it is the R-PCFICH/R-PDCCH/R-PHICH part, with the data area be R-PDSCH (Relay-Physical Downlink Shared Channel, the relaying Physical Downlink Shared Channel) is time-multiplexed, wherein is designated the channel of communicating by letter with via node with R-for the ease of understanding.Control area length is indicated by R-PCFICH.What wherein R-PCFICH took is first OFDM symbol of special area, and the position of its transmission and the band resource of special area have fixing mapping relations.It is right that special area takies continuous or discrete M PRB at frequency domain, and the frequency domain position that this M PRB is right can be that prenotice to Relay the base station, also can adjust by semi-static method.
Yet usually the descending back haul link of relaying has adopted the mode of semi-static resource reservation to transmit, and the descending back haul link that relaying occurs through regular meeting can not take the situation of all reserved resources, for example situation as shown in Figure 3.Therefore be necessary to propose corresponding technical scheme, carry out the reasonable distribution utilization for the unappropriated resource in the descending back haul link resource of relaying, thereby effectively improve systematic function.

In order to realize the present invention's purpose, the present invention proposes a kind of method of transmission and indication of relay system, may further comprise the steps: the base station sends indication information to terminal, is used to indicate the band resource information of the special area of the descending backhaul transport of relaying; Described base station sends the dispatch of downlink data transmission to described terminal; Described base station sends downlink data to described terminal at corresponding band resource.
As shown in Figure 4, the flow chart for the method base station side of a kind of transmission of relay system and indication may further comprise the steps:
S101: the base station sends indication information to terminal, is used to indicate the band resource information of the special area of the descending backhaul transport of relaying.
As shown in Figure 5, be the schematic diagram of transmission and the indication of relay system.Below in conjunction with Fig. 5 various embodiment are described.
In step S101, the base station sends indication information, and indication information comprises by S-PDCCH (Special Physical Downlink Shared Channel, special-purpose Physical Downlink Control Channel) or high-level signaling transmission to be realized.As shown in Figure 5, for example send S-PDCCH to terminal, indication is at the particular location of the band resource M of the special area of the descending backhaul transport of relaying.
Particularly, all R10 terminals need be notified in the base station, the terminal of LTE-A system just, the operating position of the band resource of the special area that is used for the descending backhaul transport of relaying of system configuration in the current subframe.
For example, in control information zone, base station, introduce a new control channel S-PDCCH, be used for notifying the particular location of band resource M of the special area that is used for the descending backhaul transport of relaying of the current subframe system configuration of all R10 terminals.For the R8 terminal, the terminal of LTE system just, this terminal is to cannot see newly-increased S-PDCCH.S-PDCCH can be put into the common search space of PDCCH, adopt a predefined RNTI (Radio Network TemporaryIdentifier, Radio Network Temporary Identifier) to carry out scrambling simultaneously, make all R10 terminals all obtain this information.
In addition, also available by adopting high-level signaling to notify all R10 terminals, the band resource of the special area that is used for the descending backhaul transport of relaying of system configuration in the current subframe.

For example, when base station specified data bag is carried by common PDSCH and/or S-PDSCH, judge that bearing mode adopts following any one mode that comprises:
A ≠ 0 and b=0, the expression packet is dispatched fully at common PDSCH and is transmitted;
A=0 and b ≠ 0, the expression packet is dispatched at S-PDSCH fully and is carried;
A ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0, the expression packet carries at common PDSCH and S-PDSCH simultaneously.
Owing to can resource be different from common PDSCH channel on the S-PDSCH, be the resource section after the brachymemma, i.e. the Physical Resource Block PRB of brachymemma is right, as shown in Figure 5, therefore, needs to determine the numerical value of transmission block size TBS of the special area of the descending backhaul transport of relaying.

N ' wherein
PRBRepresent the right number of PRB that takies among the corresponding S-PDSCH.
Be example with conventional CP, wherein the calculating of β can be:
Perhaps also can be
