Definitions
- the present invention relates to a terminal device and a transmission method.
- OFDMA Orthogonal Frequency Frequency Division Multiple Multiple Access
- SCH Synchronization Channel
- BCH Broadcast Channel
- the terminal first secures synchronization with the base station by capturing the SCH. After that, the terminal acquires parameters (for example, frequency bandwidth) unique to the base station by reading the BCH information (see Non-Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3).
- the terminal establishes communication with the base station by making a connection request to the base station after the acquisition of the parameters unique to the base station is completed.
- the base station transmits control information via a downlink control channel such as PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) as necessary to a terminal with which communication has been established.
- PDCCH Physical Downlink Control Channel
- the terminal “blindly determines” each of a plurality of pieces of control information (downlink assignment control information: DL Assignment (also referred to as Downlink Control Information: DCI)) included in the received PDCCH signal. That is, the control information includes a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) part, and this CRC part is masked by the terminal ID of the transmission target terminal in the base station. Therefore, the terminal cannot determine whether or not the received control information is control information destined for the own device until the CRC part of the received control information is demasked with the terminal ID of the own device. In this blind determination, if the CRC calculation is OK as a result of demasking, it is determined that the control information is addressed to the own device.
- DL Assignment also referred to as Downlink Control Information: DCI
- ARQ Automatic Repeat Request
- the terminal feeds back a response signal indicating an error detection result of downlink data to the base station.
- An uplink control channel such as PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) is used for feedback of this response signal (that is, ACK / NACK signal, which may be simply referred to as “A / N” hereinafter).
- PUCCH Physical Uplink Control Channel
- the control information transmitted from the base station includes resource allocation information including resource information allocated to the terminal by the base station.
- the PDCCH is used for transmitting the control information.
- This PDCCH is composed of one or a plurality of L1 / L2 CCHs (L1 / L2 Control Channel).
- Each L1 / L2CCH is composed of one or a plurality of CCEs (Control Channel Element). That is, CCE is a basic unit for mapping control information to PDCCH.
- one L1 / L2CCH is composed of a plurality (2, 4, 8) of CCEs, a plurality of consecutive CCEs starting from CCEs having even indexes are allocated to the L1 / L2CCH. It is done.
- the base station allocates L1 / L2 CCH to the resource allocation target terminal according to the number of CCEs required for reporting control information to the resource allocation target terminal. Then, the base station maps the physical resource corresponding to the CCE of this L1 / L2CCH and transmits control information.
- each CCE is associated with a PUCCH configuration resource (hereinafter also referred to as a PUCCH resource) in a one-to-one correspondence. Therefore, the terminal that has received the L1 / L2CCH specifies a PUCCH configuration resource corresponding to the CCE that configures the L1 / L2CCH, and transmits a response signal to the base station using this resource.
- a PUCCH configuration resource hereinafter also referred to as a PUCCH resource
- the terminal may use the PUCCH configuration resource corresponding to the CCE having the smallest index among the plurality of PUCCH configuration resources respectively corresponding to the plurality of CCEs (that is, A response signal is transmitted to the base station using a PUCCH configuration resource associated with a CCE having an even-numbered CCE index.
- the terminal may use the PUCCH configuration resource corresponding to the CCE having the smallest index among the plurality of PUCCH configuration resources respectively corresponding to the plurality of CCEs (that is, A response signal is transmitted to the base station using a PUCCH configuration resource associated with a CCE having an even-numbered CCE index.
- downlink communication resources are efficiently used.
- a plurality of response signals transmitted from a plurality of terminals include a ZAC (Zero Auto-correlation) sequence having a Zero Auto-correlation characteristic on the time axis, a Walsh sequence, and a DFT ( Discrete Fourier Transform) sequence and code-multiplexed in PUCCH.
- ZAC Zero Auto-correlation
- W 1 , W 2 , W 3 represents a Walsh sequence with a sequence length of 4
- (F 0 , F 1 , F 2 ) represents a DFT sequence with a sequence length of 3.
- an ACK or NACK response signal is first-order spread to a frequency component corresponding to one SC-FDMA symbol by a ZAC sequence (sequence length 12) on the frequency axis. That is, a response signal component represented by a complex number is multiplied by a ZAC sequence having a sequence length of 12.
- the ZAC sequence as the response signal and the reference signal after the first spreading is a Walsh sequence (sequence length 4: W 0 to W 3, sometimes called a Walsh code sequence), a DFT sequence (sequence length 3 : F 0 to F 3 ) are secondarily diffused corresponding to each.
- a signal having a sequence length of 12 (orthogonal sequence: Walsh sequence or DFT sequence for each component of a response signal after first spreading or a ZAC sequence (Reference Signal Sequence) as a reference signal)
- the second-order spread signal is converted into a signal having a sequence length of 12 on the time axis by IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform), and CP for each of the signals after IFFT. Is added to form a one-slot signal composed of seven SC-FDMA symbols.
- IFFT Inverse Fast Fourier Transform
- Response signals from different terminals are spread using ZAC sequences corresponding to different cyclic shift amounts (Cyclic Shift Index) or orthogonal code sequences corresponding to different sequence numbers (Orthogonal Cover Index: OC index).
- the orthogonal code sequence is a set of a Walsh sequence and a DFT sequence.
- the orthogonal code sequence may also be referred to as a block-wise spreading code sequence. Therefore, the base station can separate these response signals that have been code-multiplexed by using conventional despreading and correlation processing (see Non-Patent Document 4).
- each terminal blindly determines the downlink allocation control signal addressed to itself in each subframe, reception of the downlink allocation control signal is not always successful on the terminal side.
- a terminal fails to receive a downlink assignment control signal addressed to itself in a certain downlink unit band, the terminal cannot even know whether downlink data addressed to itself exists in the downlink unit band. Therefore, if reception of a downlink assignment control signal in a certain downlink unit band fails, the terminal does not generate a response signal for downlink data in the downlink unit band.
- This error case is defined as DTX (DTX (Discontinuous transmission) of ACK / NACK signals) of the response signal in the sense that the response signal is not transmitted on the terminal side.
- LTE system the base station performs resource allocation independently for uplink data and downlink data. Therefore, in the LTE system, in the uplink, a terminal (that is, a terminal compatible with the LTE system (hereinafter referred to as “LTE terminal”)) must simultaneously transmit a response signal to downlink data and uplink data. A situation occurs. In this situation, the response signal and the uplink data from the terminal are transmitted using time-division multiplexing (TDM). As described above, the single carrier characteristic (Single carrier properties) of the transmission waveform of the terminal is maintained by simultaneously transmitting the response signal and the uplink data using TDM.
- TDM time-division multiplexing
- a response signal (“A / N”) transmitted from a terminal is a resource (PUSCH (Physical-Uplink-Shared-CHannel) resource allocated for uplink data).
- PUSCH Physical-Uplink-Shared-CHannel
- “Subcarrier” on the vertical axis in FIG. 2 is sometimes called “Virtual subcarrier” or “Time contiguous signal”, and “time” input to a DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) circuit in the SC-FDMA transmitter.
- DFT Discrete Fourier Transform
- continuous signal is represented as “subcarrier”. That is, in the PUSCH resource, arbitrary data of uplink data is punctured by a response signal. For this reason, the quality (for example, coding gain) of uplink data is significantly degraded by puncturing arbitrary bits of the encoded uplink data. Therefore, the base station, for example, compensates for quality degradation of uplink data due to puncturing by instructing a terminal to a very low coding rate or instructing a very large transmission power.
- 3GPP LTE-Advanced is being standardized to realize higher communication speed than 3GPP LTE.
- the 3GPP LTE-Advanced system (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “LTE-A system”) follows the LTE system.
- LTE-A system a base station and a terminal capable of communicating at a wideband frequency of 40 MHz or more are introduced in order to realize a downlink transmission rate of 1 Gbps or more at the maximum.
- the LTE- The band for the A system is divided into “unit bands” of 20 MHz or less, which is the support bandwidth of the LTE system. That is, the “unit band” is a band having a maximum width of 20 MHz, and is defined as a basic unit of the communication band.
- a “unit band” in the downlink is a band delimited by downlink frequency band information in the BCH broadcast from the base station, or In some cases, it is defined as a band defined by the dispersion width when the downlink control channel (PDCCH) is distributed in the frequency domain.
- the “unit band” (hereinafter referred to as “uplink unit band”) in the uplink is a band delimited by uplink frequency band information in the BCH broadcast from the base station, or a PUSCH (Physical-Uplink) near the center.
- the “unit band” may be expressed in English as “Component Carrier (s)” or “Cell” in 3GPPGLTE-Advanced. Moreover, it may be described as CC (s) as an abbreviation.
- the downlink unit band and the uplink unit band are the same frequency band, and downlink communication and uplink communication are realized by switching between the downlink and the uplink in a time division manner. Therefore, in the case of the TDD system, the downlink unit band can also be expressed as “downlink communication timing in the unit band”. The uplink unit band can also be expressed as “uplink communication timing in the unit band”. Switching between the downlink unit band and the uplink unit band is based on UL-DL configuration as shown in FIG. In the UL-DL configuration shown in FIG.
- UL-DL configuration can construct a communication system that can flexibly cope with the throughput for downlink communication and the throughput requirement for uplink communication by changing the subframe ratio between downlink communication and uplink communication.
- FIG. 3 shows UL-DL Configurations (Config 0 to 6) having different subframe ratios for downlink communication and uplink communication.
- the downlink communication subframe is represented by “D”
- the uplink communication subframe is represented by “U”
- S special subframe
- the special subframe is a subframe at the time of switching from the downlink communication subframe to the uplink communication subframe.
- downlink data communication may be performed as in the downlink communication subframe.
- subframes (20 subframes) for two frames are used for subframes (upper “D” and “S”) used for downlink communication and uplink communication.
- the sub-frame (lower “U”) is divided into two stages.
- the error detection result (ACK / NACK) for downlink data is reported in an uplink communication subframe that is four or more subframes after the subframe to which the downlink data is assigned.
- the LTE-A system supports communication using a band in which several unit bands are bundled, so-called Carrier Aggregation (CA).
- CA Carrier Aggregation
- the UL-DL Configuration can be set for each unit band, but the terminal compatible with the LTE-A system (hereinafter referred to as “LTE-A terminal”) can set the same UL-DL Configuration among multiple unit bands. It is designed on the assumption that
- FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining an asymmetric carrier aggregation applied to individual terminals and a control sequence thereof.
- the terminal 1 is configured to perform carrier aggregation using two downlink unit bands and one uplink unit band on the left side.
- the terminal 2 is set to use the right uplink unit band in the uplink communication, although the setting is made to use the same two downlink unit bands as the terminal 1.
- LTE-A base station When attention is paid to the terminal 1, between the base station constituting the LTE-A system (that is, the base station compatible with the LTE-A system (hereinafter referred to as “LTE-A base station”)) and the LTE-A terminal.
- LTE-A base station the base station compatible with the LTE-A system
- signal transmission / reception is performed.
- Terminal 1 synchronizes with the left downlink unit band at the start of communication with the base station, and transmits information on the uplink unit band paired with the left downlink unit band to SIB2 Read from a notification signal called (System Information Block Type 2).
- SIB2 Service Information Block Type 2
- the base station When determining that it is necessary to assign a plurality of downlink unit bands to the terminal, the base station instructs the terminal to add a downlink unit band. However, in this case, the number of uplink unit bands does not increase, and asymmetric carrier aggregation is started in terminal 1, which is an individual terminal.
- a terminal may receive a plurality of downlink data in a plurality of downlink unit bands at a time.
- LTE-A as a method of transmitting a plurality of response signals for the plurality of downlink data, there are Channel Selection (also referred to as Multiplexing), Bundling, and DFT-S-OFDM (Discrete Fourier Transform spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) format. is there.
- Channel Selection the terminal changes not only the symbol points used for the response signal but also the resources for mapping the response signal, according to the pattern of error detection results for a plurality of downlink data.
- the response signal is transmitted using a predetermined resource (calculating the logical AND of the detection results).
- the terminal collectively encodes response signals for a plurality of downlink data (Joint coding), and transmits the encoded data using the format (non-coding). (See Patent Document 5).
- the terminal may perform feedback of a response signal (ACK / NACK) by either Channel Selection, Bundling, or DFT-S-OFDM according to the number of bits of the error detection result pattern.
- the base station may set the transmission method of the response signal in advance.
- Channel Selection is based on whether the error detection results for a plurality of downlink data for each downlink unit band received in a plurality of downlink unit bands (up to two downlink unit bands) are ACK or NACK, respectively, as shown in FIG.
- PUCCH resource not only the phase point of the response signal (that is, Constellation) point) but also the resource used for transmitting the response signal (hereinafter also referred to as “PUCCH resource”) is changed.
- Bundling is a method of bundling ACK / NACK signals for a plurality of downlink data into one and transmitting them from one predetermined resource (see Non-Patent Documents 6 and 7).
- a signal obtained by bundling ACK / NACK signals for a plurality of downlink data may be referred to as a bundled ACK / NACK signal.
- the following two methods are conceivable as a method of transmitting a response signal on the uplink when the terminal receives downlink allocation control information via the PDCCH and receives downlink data.
- One is a method (Implicit signaling) that transmits a response signal using a PUCCH resource that is associated with a CCE (Control Channel Element) occupied by the PDCCH in a one-to-one relationship (Method 1). That is, when DCI directed to a terminal under the base station is arranged in the PDCCH region, each PDCCH occupies a resource composed of one or a plurality of continuous CCEs. Further, the number of CCEs occupied by the PDCCH (CCE concatenation number: CCE aggregation level) is, for example, one of 1, 2, 4, and 8 depending on the number of information bits of the allocation control information or the channel state of the terminal. Is selected.
- Method 2 Another is a method in which resources for PUCCH are notified from the base station to the terminal in advance (Explicit signaling) (Method 2). That is, in Method 2, the terminal transmits a response signal using the PUCCH resource notified in advance from the base station.
- the terminal transmits a response signal using one of the two unit bands.
- a unit band for transmitting such a response signal is called PCC (Primary Component Carrier) or PCell (Primary Cell).
- PCC Primary Component Carrier
- PCell Primary Cell
- SCC Secondary Component Carrier
- SCell Secondary Cell
- the PCC (PCell) is a unit band that transmits broadcast information (for example, SIB2 (System Information Block type 2)) regarding a unit band that transmits a response signal.
- SIB2 System Information Block type 2
- a resource for PUCCH common to a plurality of terminals may be notified in advance from the base station to the terminal.
- the terminal may adopt a method of selecting one resource for PUCCH that is actually used based on a 2-bit TPC (Transmit Power Control) command (transmission power control command) included in the DCI in the SCell.
- TPC command is also called ARI (Ack / nack Resource Indicator).
- ARI Ack / nack Resource Indicator
- PUCCH resources in the uplink unit band are associated with the first CCE index of the CCE which is occupied by the PDCCH indicating the PDSCH in the PCC (PCell).

- BPSK Binary Phase Shift Shift Keying
- QPSK Quadrature Phase Shift Shift Keying
- error detection results for a plurality of downlink data in unit band 1 (PCell) and error detection results for a plurality of downlink data in unit band 2 (SCell) are combined by combining PUCCH resources and phase points.
- a pattern can be represented.
- FIG. 6A shows a pattern mapping method of error detection results when there are two unit bands (one PCell and one SCell).
- FIG. 6A assumes a case where the transmission mode is set to one of the following (a), (b), and (c).
- FIG. 6A shows a method of mapping a pattern of error detection results when the above (a) to (c) and (1) to (4) are combined.
- the terminal does not bundle the error detection results, but in the order of (a), (b), (c), 4 patterns, 8 patterns, 16 patterns.
- the error detection result patterns are mapped to two, three, and four PUCCH resources, respectively (Step 3 in FIG. 6A). That is, the terminal reports an error detection result of 1 bit per unit band in which a transmission mode (non-MIMO) that supports only 1 CW (codeword) transmission is set in the downlink, and transmits 2 CW in the downlink.
- a 2-bit error detection result is notified per unit band in which a transmission mode (MIMO) that supports the above is set.
- the terminal maps eight error detection result patterns to four PUCCH resources without bundling the error detection results (see FIG. 6A, Step 3). At that time, the terminal notifies an error detection result of 2 bits per downlink unit band.
- the terminal uses a unit band with a transmission mode that supports up to 2 CW transmission on the downlink.
- the error detection result is bundled in the spatial domain (spatial bundling) (Step 1 in FIG. 6A).
- spatial bundling for example, when the error detection result for at least one CW among the error detection results of 2CW is NACK, the error detection result after spatial bundling is determined as NACK. That is, in spatial bundling, a logical AND (Logical And) is taken with respect to the error detection result of 2CW.
- the terminal maps the error detection result patterns after spatial bundling (eight patterns for (2) and (b), 16 patterns for (2) and (c)) to four PUCCH resources. (Step 3 in FIG. 6A). At that time, the terminal notifies an error detection result of 2 bits per downlink unit band.

- the same UL-DL configuration (Config 2) is set for PCell and SCell1, and the same UL-DL configuration (Config 3) is set for SCell2 and SCell3.
- the response signal generation unit 212 of the terminal 200 collects the PCell and SCell1 in which the same UL-DL configuration (Config 2) is set into one group (group 1), and the same UL-DL configuration (Config 3). SCell2 and SCell3 to which are set are grouped into one group (group 2).
- the response signal generation unit 212 generates one response signal representing an error detection result of a plurality of unit bands in each group. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the response signal generation unit 212 generates one response signal by performing space bundling and time domain bundling on the error detection result bits of each unit band in the group. May be.
- one response signal representing an error detection result for the data signal received by the PCell and the SCell1 is generated in the group 1.
- one response signal representing an error detection result for the data signals respectively received by SCell2 and SCell3 is generated.
- the control unit 208 selects one specific unit band per group as a unit band for notifying a response signal generated in each group. For example, when the PCell is included in the group as in the group 1 illustrated in FIG. 11, the control unit 208 may always select the PCell as a specific unit band for notifying the response signal. In addition, as in the case of group 2 shown in FIG. 11, when the PCell is not included in the group (when the group is configured only by SCell), the control unit 208 uses the group as a specific unit band for notifying the response signal. You may select from the inside SCell from the thing with a small index of SCell. That is, in group 2 shown in FIG. 11, SCell2 is selected as a specific unit band for notifying a response signal.
- response signals representing error detection results for all unit bands in group 1 are reported in the UL subframe of PCell.
- a response signal indicating an error detection result for all unit bands in group 2 is reported in the UL subframe of SCell2.
- the base station 100 and the terminal 200 have a common recognition regarding the group numbers (groups 1 and 2 shown in FIG. 11) indicating which group the unit band set for the terminal 200 belongs to. It is necessary to make it. Therefore, a group number may be set in advance from base station 100 to terminal 200 (not shown).
- the response signal generation unit 212 of the terminal 200 generates one response signal for each group based on information indicating a preset group number.
- retransmission control signal generation section 122 of base station 100 determines which group (unit band) the result of synchronous detection by A / N determination section 118 is based on information indicating the group number set in terminal 200 in advance. It is determined whether it is an error detection result, and it is determined whether or not the data (downlink data) transmitted in each unit band should be retransmitted.
- unit bands in which the same UL-DL configuration is set are grouped into one group. Therefore, the UL subframe timing and the DL subframe timing match between the unit bands in the group. Therefore, for example, in the group 1, even when the terminal 200 notifies the error detection result of the SCell1 shown in FIG. 11 by the PCell, the notification timing of the error detection result of the SCell1 is the notification timing of the error detection result at 1 CC (see FIG. 3).
- the notification timing of the error detection result of each unit band set in terminal 200 can always be maintained at the same timing as the notification timing at 1 CC shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 7B, it is possible to prevent the notification timing of the error detection result from being different depending on the combination of UL-DL configuration set in the terminal 200.
- a response signal indicating an error detection result for a data signal received in each unit band in the group is notified in one specific unit band for each group. For this reason, compared with the case where the error detection result is notified independently for each unit band (see FIG. 7A), the increase in the A / N resource amount and the decoding processing amount of the error detection result in the base station 100 is suppressed. be able to.
- group 1 and group 2 are each composed of two unit bands. Therefore, compared to the case where an error detection result is notified independently for each unit band (see FIG. 7A), the A / N resource amount, In addition, the decoding processing amount of the error detection result in the base station 100 can be suppressed to 1 ⁇ 2.
- a maximum of 5 unit bands can be set for one terminal 200. That is, five different UL-DL configurations may be set for the terminal 200 in five unit bands (5CC).
- the five unit bands set in the terminal 200 are grouped into five groups.
- the terminal 200 notifies the error detection result in one unit band for each group. Therefore, in this case, a maximum of 5 CC A / N resources are required for the terminal 200.
- the base station 100 requires decoding processing of error detection results of up to 5 parallels (1 group of error detection results / 1 parallel).
- the SCell error detection result notification timing is determined from the error detection result notification timing when only a single unit band is set. It is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of A / N resources to be used and the amount of decoding processing of the error detection result in the base station without being changed.
- unit bands set in terminal 200 are grouped by paying attention to the inclusion relation of UL subframe timing between UL-DL Configurations of each unit band set in terminal 200.
- Config 0 to 6 shown in FIG. 12 correspond to Config 0 to 6 shown in FIG. 3, respectively. That is, the UL-DL configuration shown in FIG. 12 is a configuration pattern of subframes constituting one frame (10 msec), and includes DL subframes and UL subframes.
- FIG. 12A shows UL-DL Configuration by focusing on UL subframe timing among DL subframe, UL subframe and Special subframe timings for one frame (10 subframes, subframes # 0 to # 9). It is the figure which described the inclusion relationship between.
- FIG. 12B is a diagram that simplifies the description of FIG. 12A and focuses only on the inclusion relationship.
- Config 0 becomes a UL subframe in subframes # 2, # 3, # 4, # 7, # 8, and # 9, and is included in all UL-DL Configurations (Config 0 to 6).
- the ratio of UL subframes in one frame is the highest.
- Config 6 is a UL subframe in subframes # 2, # 3, # 4, # 7, and # 8.
- subframes # 2, # 3, # 4, # 7, and # 8 are UL subframes. Also, it can be said that the subframe # 9 of Config90 is a DL subframe is Config 6, and the subframe # 9 of Config 6 is a UL subframe is Config 0.
- the timing of the UL subframe in Config IV6 is a subset of the timing of the UL subframe in Config IV0. That is, the UL subframe timing of Config 6 is included in the UL subframe timing of Config 0.
- the relationship (inclusion relationship) between such a set (Config 0) and subset (Config 6) is Config 1 and Config 3, Config 2 and Config 4, and Config 3 and Config. Exists between all two UL-DL configurations except for the three combinations of 2.
- a UL-DL configuration having a larger number of UL sub-frames between UL-DL configurations having an inclusion relationship for UL sub-frames is referred to as “upper UL-DL configuration”, and UL sub-frames are used.
- a UL-DL configuration with a smaller number of frames is called a “lower UL-DL configuration”. That is, in FIG. 12B, Config 0 is the highest UL-DL Configuration, and Config 5 is the lowest UL-DL Configuration.
- the UL subframe is set at least at the same timing as the UL subframe set in the lower UL-DL configuration.
- terminal 200 groups unit bands having an inclusion relationship in UL subframe timing among a plurality of unit bands set in terminal 200 into one group.
- terminal 200 reports a response signal indicating an error detection result of a plurality of unit bands in the group in the unit band in which the highest UL-DL configuration is set in the inclusion relation of UL subframe timing. To do.
- FIG. 13A shows a unit band grouping method based on the inclusion relation of the UL subframe timing shown in FIG. 13A.
- four unit bands are set for terminal 200.
- Config 2, Config 5, Config 3, and Config 4 are set for the four unit bands shown in FIG. 13A.
- Config 2 includes Config 5 and Config 3 includes Config 4. Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 13A, the response signal generation unit 212 of the terminal 200 groups the unit band in which Config 2 is set and the unit band in which Config 5 is set to group 1, and Config 3 is set. The unit band and the unit band for which Config 4 is set are grouped to form group 2.
- the control unit 208 notifies the unit band in which Config ⁇ ⁇ 2 including UL subframe timing at the highest level in group 1 is set, and a specific unit for notifying the response signal indicating the error detection result of the unit band in group 1 Select as a band.
- the control unit 208 specifies a unit band in which Config 3 including UL subframe timing at the highest level in group 2 is set, and a response signal indicating an error detection result of the unit band in group 2 Select as unit band.
- the error detection results for all unit bands in group 1 are reported in the unit band in which Config 2 is set, and the error detection results for all unit bands in group 2 are indicated by Config 3 It is notified in the set unit band.
- Config 2 is a UL subframe in subframes # 2 and # 7
- Config 5 is a UL subframe in subframe # 2. Therefore, terminal 200 (control unit 208) has the same UL subframe timing as the UL subframe timing of the unit band in which Config 5 is set in the unit band in which Config 2 in Group 1 shown in FIG. 13A is set. In a certain subframe # 2, one response signal indicating the error detection result of the unit band for which Config 2 is set and the error detection result of the unit band for which Config 5 is set is notified. As a result, as shown in FIG.
- the error detection result of the unit band in which Config 5 is set is the same UL subframe (subframe # 2) as in 1CC (see FIG. 3, that is, 3GPP Release 8 or 10). ). The same applies to group 2 shown in FIG. 13A.
- terminal 200 only detects the error detection result of the unit band in which Config 2 is set in unit band subframe # 7 (DL subframe in Config 5) in which Config 2 is set in group 1 shown in FIG. 13A. To be notified.
- the notification timing of the error detection result of each unit band in the group is maintained at the same timing as in 1CC (see FIG. 3). can do.
- Config 2 and Config 3 include at least UL subframes (subframe # 7 of Config 2, subframes # 3 and # 4 of Config 3) set at different timings, respectively.
- the control unit 208 transmits a response signal including an error detection result for the data signal received in the unit band for which Config 3 is set in the unit band for which Config 3 is set.
- the error detection result of the unit band in which Config-3, which has no inclusive relation with Config-2, which is the highest UL-DL Configuration in Group 1 is the unit other than Group 1 including the unit band in which Config-2 is set. Sent in band.
- the notification timing of the error detection result of the unit band for which Config 3 is set can also be maintained at the same timing as in 1CC (see FIG. 3).
- the terminal 200 groups the unit bands set in the terminal 200 based on the inclusion relation of UL subframe timing. Thereby, even when different UL-DL configurations are set in the terminal 200, the notification timing of the error detection result of each unit band can be maintained at the same timing as in 1CC (see FIG. 3).
- FIG. 14 is used to explain the case where the PCell is reset (FIG. 14A) and the case where the PCell is not reset (FIGS. 14B and C) when a unit band (CC) for the terminal 200 is newly added.
- FIG. 14B the case where the PCell is not reset, the case where the error detection result need not always be notified from the PCell (FIG. 14B) and the case where the error detection result is always notified from the PCell (FIG. 14C) will be described in detail.
- Config 1 includes the UL subframe timing of Config 2 that is the PCell before the CC is added.
- Config 3 has no inclusion relationship with the UL subframe timing of Config 2 that is the PCell before the CC is added.
- the unit band of Config 2 which is the current PCell, “includes UL subframe timing at the highest level. , The unit band with UL-DL configuration is not set. For this reason, “unit band in which UL-DL Configuration is set including UL subframe timing at the highest level” is reset in PCell. That is, as shown in FIG. 14A, the newly set unit band of Config-1 is reset to PCell. In FIG. 14A, the newly set unit band of Config-3 may be reset to PCell.
- Config 1 and Config 2 that are in an inclusive relationship at the UL subframe timing are grouped into the same group 1. Then, a response signal indicating an error detection result for both unit bands of Config 1 and Config 2 is notified in the unit band in which Config 1 is set and includes UL subframe timing at the highest level in group 1. In FIG. 14A, a response signal indicating an error detection result for the unit band of Config 3 is notified in the unit band (group 2) in which Config 3 is set.
- FIG. 14C shows the case where the PCell is not reset and the error detection result is always notified from the PCell.
- the PCell needs to be a “unit band in which UL-DL configuration is set including the UL subframe timing at the highest level”.
- the unit band of Config 2 that is the current PCell is “UL-DL Configuration including UL subframe timing is set at the highest level.
- UL-DL Configuration that can belong to the same group must be Config 5 (or Config 2). That is, the unit band that can belong to the same group as the PCell is a unit band in which the same UL-DL configuration as the UL-DL configuration set in the PCell is set, or the UL-DL configuration configured in the PCell is UL. It must be a unit band with a UL-DL configuration that includes subframe timing (ie, a lower UL-DL configuration).
- the unit bands newly added to the terminal 200 are the unit bands of Config 1 and Config 3. That is, in FIG. 14C, a unit band newly added to terminal 200 is a unit band in which a higher UL-DL configuration is set for PCell (Config 2). For this reason, these unit bands cannot belong to the group 1 to which the PCell belongs. Also, there is no UL subframe timing inclusion relationship between Config-1 and Config-3. For this reason, these unit bands cannot belong to the same group.
- the unit bands set in the terminal 200 are grouped so as to form respective groups (groups 1 to 3). Then, in each of the groups 1 to 3, a response signal (error detection result) is notified in “unit band in which UL-DL configuration is set including the UL subframe timing at the highest level”. 14C, the error detection result is notified in the unit band (PCell) of Config 2 in group 1, the error detection result is notified in the unit band of Config 3 in group 2, and the unit band of Config 1 in group 3. An error detection result is notified.
- unit bands are grouped based on the inclusion relation of UL subframe timing, and error detection is performed in the unit band for which UL-DL Configuration is set that includes UL subframe timing at the highest level for each group.
- the minimum number of groups required to support all UL-DL Configuration combinations is as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 14A, when the PCell is reset to “unit band in which UL-DL Configuration is set including the UL subframe timing at the highest level”, the minimum number of groups is two. Further, when the PCell is not reset as shown in FIG. 14B and when it is not always necessary to notify the error detection result from the PCell, the minimum number of groups is two. As shown in FIG. 14C, when the PCell is not reset, and when the error detection result is always notified from the PCell, the minimum number of groups is three.
- Configs 0 to 6 are grouped into a maximum of two or three groups depending on the method of notifying the response signal (error detection result).
- the grouping method and the error detection result notification method when the PCell is reset and when the PCell is not reset are described in detail with reference to FIG. Note that whether or not to reset the PCell or whether or not to always notify the error detection result from the PCell when the PCell is not reset may be switched by setting.
- group number setting methods 1 to 4 will be described.
- Setting method 1 is a method in which a group number is set for each UL-DL Configuration. That is, in setting method 1, a group number is set for each UL-DL Configuration, and 1 bit is notified per 1 UL-DL Configuration (1bit / 1Config).
- a plurality of correspondence tables in which UL-DL configuration and group number are set in advance are prepared, and a number indicating which correspondence table is used (number of correspondence table) ) Is notified (method 1-2).
- method 1 there is a method in which a group number is fixedly set for each UL-DL configuration (method 1-3). In this case, signaling for reporting the group number from the base station 100 to the terminal 200 becomes unnecessary.
- the group number is set for each UL-DL configuration, so the same UL-DL configuration cannot be set between different groups.
- Setting method 2 is a method in which a group number is set for each unit band set in terminal 200. That is, in setting method 2, a group number is set for each unit band, and 1 bit is notified per unit band (1 bit / 1CC).
- the unit bands in which Configs 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 are set are grouped into one group. That is, the group number “1” is set for each unit band for which Config 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 are set.
- the unit bands for which Config 1 and 2 are set are grouped as group 1
- the unit bands for which Config 3 and 4 are set are grouped as group 2. That is, the group number '1' is set for each unit band for which Config 1 and 2 are set, and the group number '2' is set for each unit band for which Config 3 and 4 are set.
- the base station 100 needs to notify the group number set for each unit band for each terminal 200, the number of bits to be signaled increases compared to the setting method 1.
- Method 2-1 a method for setting a group number for each unit band set in terminal 200 (method 2-1) or a unit band for notifying an error detection result for each terminal 200 is set.
- Method 2-2 only the unit band for notifying the error detection result is notified to the terminal 200. Therefore, whether the unit band to be notified and which other unit band belongs to the same group is fixedly determined between the base station 100 and the terminal 200 or can be changed by setting Must be set in advance.
- Setting method 3 is a method for notifying only switching of grouping on / off (whether or not to perform grouping) for each terminal 200. That is, in setting method 3, only 1 bit is notified. Note that setting method 3 may be set independently between base station 100 and terminal 200, or may be set in combination with setting method 3, and setting method 1 or setting method 2.
- Setting method 4 is a method in which only one group is always set for each terminal 200. At this time, a restriction is imposed that the UL-DL Configuration that cannot include the unit band of the UL-DL Configuration that includes the UL subframe timing at the highest level is not set.
- the group number setting methods 1 to 4 have been described above.
- response signal generation section 212 groups the first unit band and the second unit band.
- the UL subframe is set at the same timing as the UL subframe of the UL-DL configuration set for the second unit band.
- the control unit 208 transmits a response signal including an error detection result for the data signals received in the first unit band and the second unit band, in the first unit band.
- the control unit 208 transmits the one response signal in the UL subframe at the same timing as the UL subframe of the UL-DL configuration set in the second unit band in the first unit band.
- the terminal 200 converts the error detection result of all unit bands in the group into a specific unit band in the group (unit in which UL-DL configuration including UL subframe timing is set at the highest level in the group). Even in the case of notification in (band), the error detection result notification timing of other unit bands can be kept the same as the error detection result notification timing at 1 CC. That is, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7B, it is possible to prevent the notification timing of the error detection result from being different depending on the combination of UL-DL configuration set in terminal 200.
- Configs 0 to 6 are grouped into a maximum of two or three groups. That is, compared with the case where the error detection result is notified independently for each unit band (see FIG. 7A), the A / N resource amount and the base station 100 do not depend on the number of unit bands set in the terminal 200. It is possible to suppress the decoding processing amount of the error detection result of 2 to 3 times or at most, respectively.
- the notification timing of SCell error detection results is notified when only a single unit band is set. It is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of A / N resources to be used and the amount of decoding processing of error detection results in the base station without changing from the timing.
- each group when a unit band for notifying an error detection result is deactivated in each group, a method of deactivating all the remaining unit bands of the group may be adopted.
- each group may adopt a method that does not allow deactivation of a unit band that notifies an error detection result (that is, does not allow deactivation).
- the maximum number of groups for the unit band set in terminal 200 may be set for each terminal 200.
- the maximum number of groups may be set to 1 for low-end terminals and the maximum number of groups to 2 for high-end terminals.
- the upper limit value of the number of groups is equal to the set number of unit bands.
- the unit band grouping method is not limited to the example shown in FIG.
- Config 3, Config 4, and Config 5 may be group 1
- only Config 2 may be group 2.
- UL-DL configuration for example, Config 1, Config 6 or Config 0
- Config 2 and Config 4 that have no inclusion relationship. If it is set to, the UL-DL Configuration, Config 2 and Config 4 may be grouped into the same group.
- Config 3 and Config 5 may be group 1
- Config 2 may be group 2
- Config 4 may be group 3. That is, as the inclusion relationship shown in FIG. 12B, UL-DL Configurations (for example, Config 3 and Config 5) that are not adjacent to each other can be grouped together.
- terminal 200 is only a combination of UL-DL Configurations that have no inclusive relationship in UL subframe timing with each other (in Fig. 12B Config 1 and Config 3, Config 2 and Config 3, and Config 2 and Config 4) What is necessary is just to group so that a group may not be comprised.
- terminal 200 may combine a UL-DL configuration that has no UL subframe timing inclusive of UL subframe timings, and a UL-DL configuration that includes UL subframe timings below each UL-DL configuration that constitutes the combination. (In Fig.
- Grouping may be performed so that a group is not formed.
- terminal 200 includes a combination of UL-DL configurations that are not included in UL subframe timing with each other, and UL-DL configuration that includes both of the two UL-DL configurations that constitute the combination at the upper level (see FIG. 12B, Config0 or Config6 for the combination of Config 1 and Config 3, Config0 or Config6 for the combination of Config 2 and Config 3, Config0, Config6 or Config1 for the combination of Config 2 and Config 4) It is possible to group only to the group to which.
- the PCell when one of the unit bands for which the same UL-DL configuration is set is a PCell, the PCell may be set as a unit band for notifying an error detection result.
- an SCell having a smaller SCell index may be set as a unit band for notifying an error detection result.
- the unit band for notifying the error detection result is “a unit band in which UL-DL configuration including UL subframe timing is set at the highest level” in each group. If the PCell is not “unit band with UL-DL configuration that includes UL subframe timing at the highest level”, the PCell is set with “UL-DL configuration that includes UL subframe timing at the highest level. The unit band may be reset.
- the unit band grouping method is not limited to one.
- Config 3, Config 4 and Config 5 may be group 1 and only Config 2 may be group 2.
- the guideline for determining the grouping method will be described.
- a grouping guideline for example, there is a method of grouping so that the number of bits of the error detection result is equal between groups. As another grouping guideline, there is a method of grouping so that the number of unit bands is equal between groups. As another grouping guideline, there is a method of grouping so that the number of bits of the error detection result is equal between the groups in consideration of the setting of MIMO and non-MIMO. With these guidelines, the energy per bit of the error detection result can be smoothed.
- grouping may be performed so that there are no more than two unit bands per group.
- channel selection which is an error detection result notification method that supports only error detection result notification for a maximum of two unit bands
- different error detection result notification methods Choannel ⁇ Selection or DFT-S-OFDM
- Channel selection or DFT-S-OFDM may be used between groups. Whether to use Channel selection or DFT-S-OFDM may be set for each group.
- error detection is performed for each subframe based on the number of bits of the error detection result before bundling and the number of unit bands to which downlink data associated with the notified error detection result is assigned.
- the result notification method may be switchable. For example, in FIG.
- the number of unit bands to which downlink data associated with the error detection result to be notified is assigned is the unit bands of both Config 2 and 5 in subframe # 2.
- the error detection result notification method may be switchable between subframe # 2 and subframe # 7.
- the conditions for performing cross-carrier scheduling are as follows. That is, when the unit band of the cross carrier scheduling destination is a DL subframe or a special subframe, the unit band of the cross carrier scheduling source is a DL subframe or a special subframe. That is, when there is an area (PDSCH) for reporting downlink data in the unit band of the cross carrier scheduling destination, the area for notifying the downlink control signal so as to indicate the downlink data in the unit band of the cross carrier scheduling source (PDCCH) must be present.
- PDSCH area for reporting downlink data in the unit band of the cross carrier scheduling destination
- the unit carrier of the cross carrier scheduling source may be any of UL subframe, DL subframe, and Special subframe.
- FIG. 17 shows an example when cross-carrier scheduling is performed.
- FIG. 17A is an example when intra-group cross-carrier scheduling is performed.
- FIG. 17B is an example in a case where inter-group cross-carrier scheduling (Inter-group cross-carrier scheduling) is performed.
- FIG. 17A shows a case where cross carrier scheduling is performed from a unit band (PCell) in which Config IV 3 is set to a unit band in which Config IV 4 is set.
- PCell unit band
- Config IV 3 unit band
- Config IV 4 unit band
- FIG. 17A shows a case where cross carrier scheduling is performed from a unit band (PCell) in which Config IV 3 is set to a unit band in which Config IV 4 is set.
- both unit bands are DL subframes
- subframe # 4 shown in FIG. 17A the unit band (Config 3) of the cross carrier scheduling source is the UL subframe
- the unit band (Config 4) of the cross carrier scheduling destination is the DL subframe. Therefore, although the PDSCH of the cross carrier scheduling destination can exist, the cross carrier scheduling cannot be performed because the PDCCH of the cross carrier scheduling source cannot
- FIG. 17B shows that a unit band in which Config 3 is set and a unit band in which Config 4 is set exist in group 1, and a unit band in which Config 2 is set in group 2, and Config The case where there is a unit band in which 5 is set is shown.
- the unit band (Config 3) of the group 1 of the cross carrier scheduling source becomes the UL subframe
- the unit band of the group 2 of the cross carrier scheduling destination (Config 2 and 5) is the DL subframe. Therefore, although a PDSCH that is a cross carrier scheduling destination may exist, a PDCCH that is a cross carrier scheduling source cannot be allocated, and thus cross carrier scheduling cannot be performed.
- unit bands set in terminal 200 are grouped by paying attention to the inclusion relationship of DL subframe timing between UL-DL configurations.
- Config 0 to 6 shown in FIG. 18 correspond to Config 0 to 6 shown in FIG. 3, respectively.
- FIG. 18A shows UL-DL Configuration focusing on DL subframe timing among DL subframe, UL subframe, and Special subframe timings for one frame (10 subframes, subframes # 0 to # 9). It is the figure which described the inclusion relationship between.
- FIG. 18B is a diagram that simplifies the description of FIG. 18A and focuses only on the inclusion relationship.
- Config 5 becomes DL subframes in subframes # 0 and # 3 to # 9, and among all UL-DL Configurations (Config 0 to 6), DL subframes in one frame The highest percentage.
- Config IV4 is a DL subframe in subframes # 0 and # 4 to # 9.
- subframes # 0 and # 4 to # 9 are DL subframes. Also, it can be said that the subframe # 3 of Config 5 is a UL subframe is Config 4, and the subframe # 3 of Config 4 is a DL subframe is Config 5.
- the DL subframe timing in Config IV4 is a subset of the DL subframe timing in Config IV5. That is, the DL subframe timing of Config-4 is included in the DL subframe timing of Config-5.
- the relationship (inclusion relationship) between such a set (Config (5) and subset (Config 4) is Config 1 and Config 3, Config 2 and Config 4, and Config 3 and Config. Exists between all two UL-DL configurations except for the three combinations of 2.
- a UL-DL configuration having a larger number of DL sub-frames between UL-DL configurations having an inclusion relationship for DL sub-frames is called “upper UL-DL configuration,” and A UL-DL configuration with a smaller number of frames is called a “lower UL-DL configuration”. That is, in FIG. 18B, Config 5 is the highest UL-DL configuration, and Config 0 is the lowest UL-DL configuration. That is, the DL subframe timing inclusion relationship shown in FIGS. 18A and 18B is exactly the opposite of the UL subframe timing inclusion relationship shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B.
- the DL subframe is set at least at the same timing as the DL subframe set in the lower UL-DL configuration. That is, no UL subframe is set in the upper UL-DL configuration at the same timing as the DL subframe set in the lower UL-DL configuration.
- the unit band that is the cross-carrier scheduling source within the group (Intra-group) is set to UL-DL Configuration that includes “DL” subframe timing at the “highest” in each group.
- the condition that it is a unit band is given.
- a unit band that is a cross-carrier scheduling source within a group (Intra-group) is a unit band in which UL-DL Configuration including “UL” subframe timing is set in “lowest” in each group. It can also be expressed.
- a condition that a unit band that is a cross-carrier scheduling source between groups is a unit band in which UL-DL configuration including DL subframe timing is set at the highest level in all groups.
- FIG. 19 shows a specific example of the cross carrier scheduling method in the case where the grouping focusing on the inclusion relation shown in FIG. 18 is performed.
- FIG. 19A the unit bands in which Configs 3 and 4 are set are group 1 and the unit bands in which Configs 2 and 5 are set are group 2 respectively.
- FIG. 19B shows cross-carrier scheduling within group 1 (Intra-group)
- FIG. 19C shows cross-carrier scheduling between groups (Inter-group).
- Config 4 is a higher-order UL-DL configuration than Config 3.
- the unit band for which Config 4 is set is the cross carrier scheduling source
- the unit band for which Config 3 is set is the cross carrier scheduling destination.
- the DL subframe (PDCCH is always present in the crosscarrier scheduling source).
- Subframe since the cross carrier scheduling destination unit band (Config 3) is a UL subframe, it is not necessary to perform cross carrier scheduling.
- Config 5 is a higher UL-DL configuration than Configs 2-4.
- the unit band for which Config 5 is set is the cross carrier scheduling source
- the unit band for which Config 2 to 4 is set is the cross carrier scheduling destination.
- the DL It becomes a frame (subframe in which PDCCH exists).
- the cross-carrier scheduling destination unit band (Config 3 or 4) is a UL subframe, so cross-carrier scheduling is performed. There is no need.
- FIGS. 19B and 19C there is no subframe in which cross carrier scheduling cannot be performed as shown in FIG. That is, cross carrier scheduling can be performed in any of the subframes shown in FIGS. 19B and 19C.
- a unit band in which a higher UL-DL configuration is set in the inclusion relation of DL subframe timing between UL-DL configurations is set as a cross-carrier scheduling source.
- a unit band in which UL-DL configuration with a higher DL subframe ratio is set is set as a cross-carrier scheduling source.
- the grouping of unit bands is described as group 1, group 2, etc.
- the UL-DL configuration belongs to which group does not match between the base station 100 and the terminal 200
- PDSCH allocation by PDCCH cannot be correctly reported. That is, it is necessary for the base station 100 and the terminal 200 to have a common recognition regarding the group number indicating which group the unit band set for the terminal 200 belongs to. For this reason, it is necessary to set a group number in advance from the base station 100 to the terminal 200.
- Setting method 1 is a method in which a group number is set for each UL-DL Configuration. That is, in setting method 1, a group number is set for each UL-DL Configuration, and 1 bit is notified per 1 UL-DL Configuration (1bit / 1Config).
- a plurality of correspondence tables in which UL-DL configuration and group number are set in advance are prepared, and a number indicating which correspondence table is used (number of correspondence table) ) Is notified (method 1-2).
- method 1 there is a method in which a group number is fixedly set for each UL-DL configuration (method 1-3). In this case, signaling for reporting the group number from the base station 100 to the terminal 200 becomes unnecessary.
- the group number is set for each UL-DL configuration, so the same UL-DL configuration cannot be set between different groups.
- Setting method 2 is a method in which a group number is set for each unit band set in terminal 200. That is, in setting method 2, a group number is set for each unit band, and 1 bit is notified per unit band (1 bit / 1CC).
- the base station 100 needs to notify the group number set for each unit band for each terminal 200, the number of bits to be signaled increases compared to the setting method 1.
- a method of setting a group number for each unit band set in terminal 200 (method 2-1), or a cross carrier scheduling source between groups or within a group for each terminal 200 And a unit band (method 2-2) is set.
- method 2-2 only the unit band that is the source of cross-carrier scheduling between groups or within the group is notified to the terminal 200. Therefore, whether the unit band to be notified and which other unit band belongs to the same group is fixedly determined between the base station 100 and the terminal 200 or can be changed by setting Must be set in advance.
- Setting method 3 is a method for notifying only switching of grouping on / off (whether or not to perform grouping) for each terminal 200. That is, in setting method 3, only 1 bit is notified. Note that setting method 3 may be set independently between base station 100 and terminal 200, or may be set in combination with setting method 3, and setting method 1 or setting method 2.
- Setting method 4 is a method in which only one group is always set for each terminal 200. At this time, a restriction is imposed that the UL-DL Configuration that cannot include the unit band of the UL-DL Configuration including the DL subframe timing at the highest level is not set.
- the group number setting methods 1 to 4 have been described above.
- base station 100 and terminal 200 group the first unit band and the second unit band.
- the base station 100 uses the PDCCH (downlink control channel) allocated to the first unit band at the time of cross carrier scheduling, and resource allocation information for the PDSCH of both the first unit band and the second unit band To the terminal 200.
- terminal 200 identifies PDSCH resources received respectively in the first unit band and the second unit band, based on the PDCCH received in the first unit band. That is, the first unit band is a cross carrier scheduling source, and the second unit band is a cross carrier scheduling destination.
- a specific unit band a unit band in which UL-DL configuration including the DL subframe timing is set at the highest level within a group or between groups
- PDSCH allocation can be instructed at any subframe timing.
- a PDCCH indicating the PDSCH of another unit band is allocated in the specific unit band (the unit band having the highest DL subframe ratio among the unit bands set in terminal 200).
- the possibility of PDCCH becoming tight becomes low.
- the unit band grouping method is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 19A.
- Config 3, Config 4, and Config 5 may be group 1 and only Config 2 may be group 2.
- Config 5 and Config 2 And Config IV 4 may be grouped into the same group.
- Config 3 and Config 5 may be group 1
- Config 2 may be group 2
- Config 4 may be group 3. That is, as the inclusion relationship shown in FIG. 18B, UL-DL Configurations (for example, Config 3 and Config 5) that are not adjacent to each other can be grouped together.
- the unit band UL-DL configuration (Config 2, 3, 4, 5) set in the terminal 200 in FIG. 19A includes the highest UL-DL configuration in the UL-DL configuration shown in FIG. Config 5 is included. Therefore, all UL-DL configurations (Configs 2, 3, 4, 5) may be grouped into group 1.
- terminal 200 is only a combination of UL-DL Configurations that have no inclusive relationship with each other in DL subframe timing (in FIG. 18B, Config 1 and Config 3, Config 2 and Config 3, and Config 2 and Config 4). What is necessary is just to group so that a group may not be comprised.
- the PCell may be set as a cross carrier scheduling source.
- an SCell having a smaller SCell index may be set as a cross-carrier scheduling source.
- a unit band that is a source of cross-carrier scheduling between groups (Inter-group) is not necessarily a PCell.
- a unit band that is a cross carrier scheduling source in an intra-group is not necessarily a PCell.
- the PCell when the PCell is not a unit band that becomes a cross carrier scheduling source between groups or within a group, the PCell may be reset to a unit band that becomes a cross carrier scheduling source.
- the unit band grouping method related to the method of determining the unit band for notifying an error detection result using the UL subframe timing inclusion relationship is a common grouping method. It may be adopted, or an individual grouping method may be adopted. In the case of adopting a common grouping method, the number of signaling bits from the base station 100 to the terminal 200 can be reduced by sharing the signaling. Further, by adopting a common grouping method, it is possible to simplify the operation at the time of processing when a new unit band is added as shown in FIG. 14, and thus the configurations of the base station 100 and the terminal 200 are simplified. it can.
- grouping related to error detection result notification (grouping using the inclusion relationship of UL subframe timing) is changed to grouping related to cross-carrier scheduling.
- grouping related to error detection result notification (grouping using the inclusion relationship of UL subframe timing) is changed to grouping related to cross-carrier scheduling.
- multiple UL-DL configurations that have no inclusion relationship may become the highest UL-DL configuration in the group.
- Config 1, 2, and 4 are grouped, in the UL subframe timing inclusion relationship (FIG. 12), Config 1 is the highest UL-DL configuration, whereas DL subframe timing In the inclusive relationship (FIG. 18), Config 2 and 4 having no inclusive relationship are the highest UL-DL Configuration.
- a unit band of a UL-DL configuration with a larger number of DL subframes (Config 4 in the above example) is defined as a cross-carrier scheduling source. It is good also as a unit band.
- a common grouping method may be employed so that a plurality of UL-DL configurations that are not inclusive of each other are not allowed to be the highest UL-DL configuration in notification of error detection results and cross-carrier scheduling. .

That is, as UL-DL configuration set in one unit band, one UL-DL configuration notified by a broadcast signal and the same UL-DL configuration notified by the broadcast signal are notified by terminal-specific RRC signaling. In addition to the UL-DL configuration, it is considered to manage the UL-DL configuration notified by terminal-specific RRC, which is different from the UL-DL configuration notified by the notification signal. Further, the base station notifies the terminal of one UL-DL configuration as a UL-DL configuration for the unit band by a broadcast signal or RRC, while the UL-DL configuration notified to the terminal is different between terminals.

- the “UL-DL Configuration notified by the base station using the broadcast signal (SIB1) in the PCell is Config # 1
- the UL-DL Configuration of the SCell used by the terminal is Config # 1, Config # 2.
- Config # 4 or Config # 5 and the terminal always notifies the response signal indicating the error detection result using only the PCell.
- the “UL-DL configuration of the SCell used by the terminal” may be one notified to the terminal by RRC for each terminal in the PCell, or dynamically notified to each terminal. Also good.
- the “UL-DL configuration of the SCell used by the terminal” is different from the UL-DL configuration that the base station notifies to other terminals by a broadcast signal (SIB1) in the unit band used by the terminal as the SCell. Also good. The same applies thereafter.

- a Non-CA terminal in particular, a legacy terminal (for example, a terminal of Rel-8 or Rel-9) in which no restriction is imposed on a subframe for performing CRS (Cell-specific Reference Signal) measurement). Therefore, CRS measurement is performed in the DL subframe. That is, in a subframe in which UL and DL compete, there is a terminal that performs reception processing in the DL subframe even if the base station uses it as the UL subframe so that downlink communication does not occur. In this case, the Inter-band CA terminal that performs uplink communication interferes with the Non-CA terminal that performs CRS measurement.

That is, the base station uses the UL-DL configuration notified by the base station as a broadcast signal (SIB1) in the unit band used by the terminal as the PCell, and the base station uses the broadcast signal (SIB1) in the unit band used by the terminal as the SCell.

- the base station notifies the Inter-band CA terminal of which subframe the SRS is transmitted from, for example, RRC. Then, based on the information, the Inter-band ⁇ CA terminal determines whether or not an SRS is transmitted from another terminal in the corresponding subframe. Since the SRS is always transmitted only in the last 2 symbols of 14 symbols in one subframe, the terminal receives at most 12 symbols excluding the latter 2 symbols in the subframe. . However, in the subframe, the base station needs to perform both downlink transmission and uplink SRS reception, and in consideration of the transmission / reception switching time in the base station or the propagation delay between the base station and the terminal, However, less than 12 symbols can be used for downlink communication. The operation is similar to the operation in the Special subframe. Therefore, the Inter-band-CA terminal may regard the subframe as a Special subframe.

It is possible to avoid interference with CRS measurement given to a Rel-8 or Rel-9 terminal while making a notification using only (PCell). At the same time, it is possible to avoid interference due to Periodic ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ SRS transmission by notifying the terminal of information indicating in which subframe the SRS is transmitted from another terminal.
- the UL-DL configuration of the PCell used by the terminal is transmitted from the base station in the unit band used as the PCell by the base station (SIB1 ) Based on the assumption that it is the same as the UL-DL configuration reported in Therefore, the base station determines the UL-DL configuration of the SCell used by the terminal based on the UL-DL configuration that the base station notifies with a broadcast signal (SIB1) at least in the unit band used as the PCell by the terminal.
- SIB1 broadcast signal
- the UL-DL configuration set in the unit band used by the terminal as the PCell is not the UL-DL configuration that the base station notifies with the broadcast signal (SIB1), but the UL of the PCell used by the terminal.
- -It is a DL Configuration.
- the same problem can be solved by determining the UL-DL configuration of the SCell used by the terminal based on at least the UL-DL configuration of the PCell used by the terminal. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the UL-DL configuration of the PCell used by the terminal is different from the UL-DL configuration that the base station notifies in the unit band used by the terminal as the PCell, the base station uses, for example, the terminal (SIB1). This is also possible when the UL-DL configuration of the PCell used by is notified by RRC or dynamically instead of SIB1.
