Method and system for non-periodic scheduling through physical downlink control channel
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a method and a system for performing aperiodic scheduling through a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).
Background
In an LTE system, User Equipment (UE) sends a measurement Signal (SRS) using a certain resource at a certain time-frequency position according to configuration Information of a base station (eNB), and the eNB measures Channel State Information (CSI) according to the received SRS Information and performs operations such as dynamic scheduling, power control, resource allocation, and the like according to the measured CSI Information.
In a further evolution of the LTE system, SRS may be transmitted aperiodically through dynamic scheduling of control channels.
In a wireless communication system, data transmission is unreliable due to fading characteristics of a wireless channel, and therefore, aperiodic SRS scheduling command transmission is performed through control channel scheduling. Due to the fact that a certain missed detection error detection probability exists in wireless transmission of the control channel (about 1%, see protocol document 36.101-930 for details, for example, the missed detection error detection probability of a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) is 1%), meanwhile, due to the fact that a retransmission mechanism does not exist in the control channel, an aperiodic SRS scheduling signaling is lost, and further, the UE cannot correctly send the SRS, and therefore service performance is affected.

Detailed Description
According to the embodiment of the invention, in the process of the non-periodic SRS signal scheduling, a retransmission mechanism of the SRS sending indication signaling is added to resist the influence of the fading of a wireless channel on the non-periodic SRS signal scheduling, so that the reliability of the non-periodic SRS scheduling is improved. The invention is illustrated in detail below by means of a number of examples.
The first embodiment is as follows: and the base station eNB realizes the retransmission of the SRS sending indication signaling through an automatic error detection technology.
In the first embodiment, after receiving the SRS transmission instruction signaling, the UE transmits the SRS at the SRS transmission timing specified by the SRS transmission instruction signaling. In the first embodiment, the processing flow of the base station is shown in fig. 1, and includes the following steps:
step 101: and the base station sends an SRS sending indication signaling to the UE, wherein the SRS sending indication signaling specifies the SRS sending time.
Step 102: and the base station detects whether the SRS from the UE is received or not at the SRS sending time, if so, executing step 104, otherwise, executing step 103.
Step 103: the base station sends the same SRS transmission indication signaling to the UE again, and returns to execute step 102.
Step 104: and constructing a new SRS sending indication signaling, and returning to the step 101.
The scheme of the first embodiment can also adopt the following implementation mode: the base station starts a timer when sending the SRS sending indication signaling, and the duration of the timer is greater than or equal to the time difference between the sending time of the SRS and the sending time of the SRS sending indication signaling. And the base station judges whether the timer receives the SRS from the UE before overtime, if so, the flow is ended, otherwise, the base station sends the SRS sending indication signaling to the UE again.
A disadvantage of the first embodiment is that the delay is relatively large.
Example two: and the UE realizes the retransmission of the SRS sending indication signaling through an automatic request retransmission technology.
In the second embodiment, after receiving the SRS transmission instruction signaling, the UE immediately transmits an acknowledgement message ACK to the base station in the next subframe, and then transmits the SRS at the SRS transmission timing specified by the SRS transmission instruction signaling.
The processing flow of the base station in the second embodiment is shown in fig. 2, and includes the following steps:
step 201: and the base station sends an SRS sending indication signaling to the UE. The SRS transmission instruction signaling specifies the SRS transmission time.
Step 202: the base station judges whether the next subframe which sends the SRS sending instruction is received
If the ACK is the acknowledgement message from the UE, go to step 204; otherwise step 203 is performed.
Step 203: the base station sends the same SRS transmission indication signaling to the UE again, and returns to execute step 202.
Step 204: constructs a new SRS transmission indication signaling and returns to step 201.
Compared with the first embodiment, the time delay of the second embodiment is greatly reduced, but the second embodiment needs to increase the acknowledgment message sending signaling, and increases the air interface overhead.
Example three: and the base station eNB realizes the retransmission of the SRS sending indication signaling through a redundancy sending technology.
The third basic idea of the embodiment is that, when the base station eNB determines that the UE signal is lower than a certain threshold, multiple SRS transmission indication signaling of the UE are transmitted in the same PDCCH channel; or, the SRS transmission instruction signaling of the UE is transmitted in PDCCHs of a plurality of consecutive downlink subframes.
The processing flow of the third embodiment is shown in fig. 3, and includes the following steps:
step 301: the base station performs aperiodic SRS scheduling according to the prior art or the manner of the first embodiment or the second embodiment.
Step 302: and the base station receives the SRS signal from the UE, judges whether the quality of the received SRS signal meets the triggering condition of repeatedly transmitting the SRS transmission indicating signal, if so, executes the step 303, otherwise, returns to the step 301.
The triggering condition for repeatedly transmitting the SRS transmission instruction signal may be any one of the following conditions:
whether the strength of the SRS signal is lower than a preset signal strength threshold value or not, and if so, the triggering condition is met;
whether the error rate of the SRS signal exceeds a preset error rate threshold value or not, and if so, meeting the triggering condition; or,
and the base station repeatedly sends the same SRS sending indication signaling for a number of times exceeding a preset maximum number of times according to the mode of the first embodiment or the second embodiment, and the triggering condition is met.
Step 303: the base station repeatedly sends M SRS sending indication signaling in the same subframe through a PDCCH channel, or the base station sends one SRS sending indication signaling in each subframe in continuous N subframes. Preferably, the base station configures a repeat transmission indication before each PDCCH for repeatedly transmitting the SRS transmission indication signaling to notify the UE that the SRS transmission indication signaling is to be repeatedly transmitted; alternatively, the UE is notified by radio resource control signaling (RRC) or other means that the SRS transmission indication signaling is to be repeatedly transmitted.
Preferably, M is 2 or 4. And N is 2, 3 or 4.
