TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method of allocating radio resources in a wireless communication system.
In order to notify that DL scheduling information is transmitted through the PDCCH for what user equipment, the user equipment identifier (or group identifier), for example, a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) is transmitted. The RNTI can be classified into a dedicated RNTI and a common RNTI. The dedicated RNTI is used or data transmission and reception to and from a user equipment of which information is registered with a base station. The common RNTI is used if communication is performed with user equipments, which are not allocated with dedicated RNTI as their information is not registered with the base station. Alternatively, the common RNTI is used for transmission and reception of information used commonly for a plurality of user equipments, such as system information. For example, examples of the common RNTI include RA-RNTI and T-C-RNTI, which are used during a random access procedure through a random access channel (RACH). The user equipment identifier or group identifier can be transmitted in a type of CRC masking in DL scheduling information transmitted through the PDCCH.
As described above, in order to efficiently use limited radio resources in the wireless communication system, uplink scheduling and downlink scheduling are performed. Particularly, in the system which uses multiple carriers such as OFDMA or SC-FDMA, since a radio resource block formed by a specific time zone and a specific frequency band can be used by only one user equipment, scheduling, which determines how many radio resources are allocated to each user equipment and also determines when the radio resources are allocated to each user equipment, is very important.
For scheduling, the user equipment can perform a buffer status report (BSR) and a channel resource request. The user equipment can allow a network to efficiently perform scheduling by notifying the network of data stored in its butler, through the buffer status report. The network can perform proper scheduling by identifying what user equipment needs how many radio resources, using the buffer status report. Meanwhile, the user equipment can actively request the network to allocate radio resources.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION A buffer status report and a channel resource request performed by a user equipment are very important for proper scheduling. Accordingly, the buffer status report and the channel resource request need to be performed without any error. If an error occurs during the buffer status report and the channel resource request performed by the user equipment, radio resources will not be allocated to the user equipment during scheduling. Since the user equipment is not allocated with radio resources in spite of data to be transmitted, the user equipment fails to perform smooth communication.
Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a method of allocating radio resources in a wireless communication system, which substantially obviates one or more problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art.
An object of the present invention is to provide a method of allocating radio resources in a wireless communication system, in which radio resources can efficiently be used in the wireless communication system.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of allocating radio resources in a wireless communication system, in which reliability in a buffer status report and a channel resource request performed by a user equipment can be enhanced in the wireless communication system.
It is to be understood that the technical solutions to be achieved by the present invention will not be limited to the aforementioned descriptions, and other technical solutions will be apparent to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, from the following detailed description of the present invention.
In one aspect of the present invention, in a wireless communication system, a user equipment requests a base station to allocate radio resources for uplink data transmission of at least one time in accordance with a first radio resource allocation request mode. The user equipment requests the base station to allocate the radio resources for uplink data transmission in accordance with a second radio resource allocation request mode if a predetermined condition is satisfied.
In another aspect of the present invention, in a wireless communication system, a user equipment transmits a first buffer status report to a base station, the first buffer status report indicating a buffer status of a user equipment. The user equipment triggers a transmission procedure of a second buffer status report in case that allocation information indicating allocation of radio resources for uplink data transmission is not received until a predetermined time elapses after the first buffer status report is transmitted. At this time, the transmission procedure of the second buffer status report can be performed through a random access procedure or a transmission procedure of a scheduling request (SR) channel.
According to the present invention, radio resources can efficiently be used in the wireless communication system, and reliability in the buffer status report and the channel resource request performed by the user equipment can be enhanced.
The advantages of the present invention will not be limited to the aforementioned description, and it is to be understood that advantages not described will be apparent to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, from the description of the present invention.

FIG. 3 illustrates a network structure of an E-UMTS. An E-UMTS is a system evolving from the conventional WCDMA UMTS and its basic standardization is currently handled by the 3GPP (3 rd Generation Partnership Project). The E-UMTS can also be called an LTE (Long Term Evolution) system.
Referring to FIG. 3, an E-UTRAN includes base stations (hereinafter, referred to as �eNode B� or �eNB�), wherein respective eNBs are connected with each other through X2 interface. Also, each of eNBs is connected with a user equipment (UE) through a radio interface and connected with EPC (Evolved Packet Core) through Si interface. The EPC includes a mobility management entity/system architecture evolution (MME/SAE) gateway.
Layers of a radio interface protocol between a user equipment and a network can be classified into a first layer L1, a second layer L2 and a third layer L3 based on three lower layers of OSI (open system interconnection) standard model widely known in communication systems. A physical layer belonging to the first layer L1 provides an information transfer service using a physical channel. A radio resource control thereinafter, abbreviated as �RRC�) located at the third layer plays a role in controlling radio resources between the user equipment and the network. For this, the RRC layer enables RRC messages to be exchanged between the UE and the network. The RRC layer can be distributively located at network nodes including Node B, an AG and the like or can be independently located at either the Node B or the AG.
FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B illustrate a structure of a radio interface protocol between the user equipment (UE) and the E-UTRAN, in which FIG. 5A is a schematic view of a control plane protocol and FIG. 5B is a schematic view of a user plane protocol. Referring to FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B, a radio interface protocol horizontally includes a physical layer, a data link layer, and a network layer, and vertically includes a user plane for data information transfer and a control plane for signaling transfer. The protocol layers in FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B can be classified into L1 (first layer), L2 (second layer), and L3 (third layer) based on three lower layers of the open system interconnection (OSI) standard model widely known in the communications systems.
FIG. 6 is a flow chart illustrating a procedure according to one embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 6, a user equipment (UE) requests an eNode B (eNB) to allocate radio resources for uplink data transmission at least one time in accordance with a first radio resource allocation request mode. Then, if a predetermined condition which is previously set is satisfied, the UE requests the eNB to allocate the radio resources for uplink data transmission in accordance with a second radio resource allocation request mode.
In FIG. 6, the first radio resource allocation request mode is a radio resource allocation request mode using a scheduling request (SR) channel, and the second radio resource allocation request mode is a radio resource allocation request mode through a RACH procedure. However, the radio resource allocation request mode will not be limited to the above methods, and the first and second radio resource allocation request modes could be optional radio resource allocation request modes, respectively.
The SR channel is a physical layer channel used in the LTE system, and is comprised of 1 bit information. Me UE which has been allocated with the SR channel from the eNB can request the eNB to allocate uplink radio resources by setting the SR channel to �1�, for example. Since the SR channel is comprised of 1 bit information, error may occur during data transmission. Also, the SR channel can be used in a state that the UE is synchronized with the eNB. Accordingly, even though the UE has been allocated with the SR channel, if the UE is asynchronous with the eNB, the UE fails to successfully perform radio resource request through the SR channel.
Referring to FIG. 6, if data to be transmitted to the eNB are generated, the user equipment (UE) allocated with the SR channel from the eNB transmits the data to the eNB by setting the SR channel to �1� to request uplink radio resources [S61]. If the UE should perform a buffer status report (HSR) in a state that the UE is not allocated with uplink radio resources, the UE can use the SR channel. Also, if data having higher priority than data stored in the buffer are generated, the UE can use the SR channel. Moreover, in spite of uplink radio resources previously allocated to the UE, if data to be transmitted to the eNB are generated additionally or if buffer status is changed, the UE can transmit 1 bit information to the eNB through the SR channel.
After transmitting the 1 bit information through the SR channel, the UE makes a timer T1 operate. The driving time of the timer could be either the transmission time of the 1 bit information or the time when ACK for the 1 bit information is received. If the UE is not allocated with radio resources from the eNB until the timer ends, the UE transmits the 1 bit information to the eNB through the SR channel to request radio resource allocation [S62], and makes the timer operate again.
If the UE is allocated with uplink radio resources from the eNB as above, the UE terminates transmission of the 1 bit information and transmits uplink data to the eNB through the allocated radio resources. If the UE is not allocated with the radio resources from the eNB even after it repeats the above procedure a predetermined number of times which are previously set [S63], the user equipment performs a random access procedure (RACH procedure) to request the eNB to allocate the radio resources [S641]. In this case, the UE releases a call or notifies the eNB that an error has occurred together with or separately from the RACH procedure. The transmission period (or timer (T1) value) of the 1 bit information through the SR channel or the predetermined number of times can be reported to the UE in such a manner that it is included in system information or dedicated RRC message etc, which is previously transmitted from the eNB.
A modification example of FIG. 6 will be described below. In step S61, the UE makes the timer operate after transmitting the SR channel. The UE repeatedly transmits the SR channel until it is allocated with uplink channel resources before the timer ends. At this time, the SR channel can be transmitted periodically. If the UE is not allocated with uplink channel resources before the timer ends, the UE performs the RACH procedure to request allocation of uplink channel resources.
FIG. 7 is a flow chart illustrating a procedure according to another embodiment of the present invention. According to the embodiment of FIG. 7, a user equipment (UE) performs a buffer status report (BSR) to an eNB.
The BSR is performed so that the UE reports its buffer status to the eNB. FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B illustrate data formats of a short BSR and a long BSR, respectively. In FIG. 8A, LCG ID means a logical channel group identifier. The UE can group maximum four logical channels in one logical channel group and report buffer status of the logical channel group. In this way, if the buffer status report is performed for each logical channel group through grouping, overhead that may occur can be reduced. The eNB can notify the LIE of the grouping method for the logical channels. The long BSR of FIG. 8B includes four buffer size fields corresponding to LCG ID #1 to LCG ID #4. Each buffer size field includes a size of all data, which are standby for transmission in the RLC layer and the PDCP layer included in the corresponding logical channel group.
The BSR of FIG. 8A or FIG. 8B can be included in MAC PDU (MAC protocol data unit) to be transmitted. Namely, the BSR is included in a BSR control element, which is one of control elements of a MAC PDU generated in the MAC layer.
FIG. 9A to FIG. 9C are diagrams illustrating a format of the MAC PDU. In FIG. 9A to FIG. 9C, an LCID field includes information indicating a logical channel through which a corresponding MAC SDU (MAC service data unit) is transferred or a type of information in a corresponding MAC control element. An LCID field corresponding to a BSR control element identifies whether the corresponding BSR is a short BSR or a long BSR. An extension (E) field includes information indicating whether another MAC subheader follows right after a corresponding MAC subheader. An F field includes information indicating a length of an L field following the F field. A reserved (R) field is a field which is reserved.
If a certain condition is satisfied, the buffer status report procedure is triggered in the UE. At this time, if there are radio resources allocated to the UE, the UE transmits the BSR through the allocated radio resources. If there are no radio resources allocated to the UE and an SR channel has been established, the UE transmits 1 bit information to the eNB through the SR channel. If the SR channel has not been established, the UE transmits the BSR to the eNB via the RACH procedure. If the UE transmitting uplink data using allocated uplink radio resources shifts to a state in which there are no radio resources, the UE can perform the BSR transmission procedure using the SR channel or the RACH procedure. At this time, it is preferable that the BSR transmission procedure starts after a predetermined time elapses from the time when the UE identifies its buffer status. If the UE is allocated with radio resources from the eNB before the predetermined time elapses, the UE transmits the BSR through the allocated radio resources without performing the SR channel transmission procedure or the RACH procedure.
Referring to FIG. 7, if the MAC layer of the UE commands its physical layer to initiate the random access procedure, the physical layer of the UE first selects an access slot and a signature and then transmits a random access preamble to the eNB [S71].
If the UE transmits the preamble, the eNB transmits a response message through a downlink physical channel (for example, AICH (Acquisition indicator channel)) [S72]. In response to the preamble, a signature corresponding to the preamble is transmitted on the AICH for a first certain length of an access slot corresponding to the access slot to which the preamble is transmitted. The eNB allocates uplink radio resources (UL grant) to the UE through the RACH response message. The uplink radio resource is an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH). The UE transmits the MAC PDU, which includes the BSR, using the allocated radio resources, a message size, and a radio parameter included in the RACH response message [S73]. If the eNB receives the MAC PDU transmitted from the UE, the eNB transmits ACK/NACK or a contention resolution message to the LIE [S74].
If it is identified that the MAC PDU, which includes the BSR, has been successfully transmitted, for example, if the UE receives ACK or a contention resolution message including an identifier of the UE from the eNB, the UE makes a timer (T2) operate. If the uplink radio resources are allocated from the eNB to the UE before the timer terminates, the UE transmits data stored in its buffer to the eNB by using the allocated radio resources.
If the UE is not allocated with the uplink radio resources from the eNB until the timer terminates, the UE realizes that the BSR transmission through the RACH procedure has been failed, and triggers a new BSR procedure. Namely, the UE performs the RACH procedure again [S75] to initiate BSR transmission. Otherwise, if the SR channel is established in the UE, the UE is allocated with radio resources by transmitting the 1 bit information through the established SR channel and then transmits the BSR through the allocated radio resources.
If the UE is informed from the eNB so as not to perform the BSR transmission procedure, the SR channel transmission procedure, or the RACH procedure any more, the UE terminates the timer (T2), or does not trigger the BSR transmission procedure even though the timer expires.
The embodiment of FIG. 7 will be described in more general. The UE transmits a first BSR to the eNB, wherein the first BSR indicates the buffer status of the UE. If the UE fails to receive allocation information until a predetermined time period, which is previously set, passes after successfully transmitting the first BSR, wherein the allocation information indicates allocation of radio resources for uplink data transmission, the UE triggers a transmission procedure of a second BSR. At this time, the transmission procedure of the second BSR can be performed through the RACH procedure or the transmission procedure of the SR channel. If the SR channel is periodically established in the UE, it is preferable that the UE performs the BSR transmission procedure using more quickly allocated radio resources among radio resources for RACH preamble transmission and radio resources for SR channel.
FIG. 10 is a flow chart illustrating a procedure according to another embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 10, a user equipment (UE) transmits 1 bit information to an eNB (eNB) on an SR channel to perform a buffer status report (BSR) [S101]. If the eNB receives the 1 bit information from the UE through the SR channel, the eNB allocates uplink radio resources, for example, UL-SCH, to the UE [S102]. The UE transmits a MAC PDU including the BSR, to the eNB through the allocated radio resources [S103].
If the eNB successfully receives the MAC PDU, the eNB transmits ACK to the UE [S104]. If the UE receives ACK, the UE makes a timer (T3) operate and waits for allocation of uplink radio resources until the timer expires to transmit uplink data stored in its buffer. If the UE is allocated with uplink radio resources from the eNB before the timer expires, the UE transmits uplink data to the eNB through the allocated uplink radio resources. If the UE is not allocated with uplink radio resources from the eNB until the timer expires, the UE transmits the SR channel or the RACH procedure to perform the BSR procedure again [S105]. In FIG. 10, the UE may make the timer (T3) operate from the time when the UE transmits the BSR in step S103.
FIG. 11 is a flow chart illustrating a procedure according to another embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 11, a user equipment (UE) transmits a MAC PDU, which includes the BSR, to an eNB through an SR channel, the RACH procedure, or the previously allocated uplink radio resources [S111]. If the eNB fails to successfully receive the MAC I′DU transmitted from the UE, the eNB transmits NACK to the UE [S112]. If an error occurs during the transmission procedure of NACK, the UE receives ACK [S112]. Although the UE determines that it has successfully transmitted the BSR and waits for allocation of uplink radio resources, since the eNB has been failed to successfully receive the BSR, the uplink radio resources are not allocated to the UE actually. Alternatively, even though the eNB has successfully received the BSR, if there are no available radio resources, the eNB does not allocate radio resources to the UE.
In this case, the UE checks whether there are radio resources allocated to all HARQ processes established in the UE [S114], and drives a timer (T4) if there are no radio resources allocated to the HARQ processes. If the UE is allocated with radio resources from the eNB before the timer expires, the UE terminates the timer. If the UE is not allocated with radio resources from the eNB until the timer expires, the UE transmits 1 bit information through the SR channel or triggers the buffer status report (BSR) by performing the RACH procedure [S115].
In the embodiment of FIG. 11, that there are radio resources allocated to a specific HARQ process means that data to be transmitted to the eNB remain in a HARQ buffer of the corresponding HARQ process. Alternatively, that there are radio resources allocated to the specific HARQ process means that, after radio resources for initial data transmission are allocated to the HARQ process, retransmission does not occur in the HARQ process as much as the maximum number of retransmission times and feedback most recently received with respect to the HARQ process is NACK. Or, that there are radio resources allocated to the specific HARQ process may mean that radio resources for initial data transmission are allocated to the HARQ process.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, it is considered that an SR channel is used for another purpose. Namely, although the SR channel is used to request allocation of radio resources to an eNB, if a predetermined event occurs, a UE can report its status to the eNB by transmitting the 1 bit information to the eNB through the SR channel even though there are radio resources allocated from the eNB. Alternatively, the UE can use the SR channel to transmit a response message to a radio resource allocation message transmitted from the eNB. For the above examples, in addition to the SR channel, another physical channel of at least 1 bit or greater information can be established.
An example of the predetermined event corresponds to a status where data to be transmitted to the eNB do not remain in the buffer of the UE any more in a state that there are radio resources allocated to the UE.
Another example of the predetermined event corresponds to a status where a radio bearer, which does not satisfy quality of service (QoS), exists in the UE. For example, a maximum bit rate (MBR) or a prioritized bit rate (PBR) can be set per logical channel of the UE. In this case, if MBR or PBR set with respect to a specific radio bearer is not satisfied, the UE can report it through the SR channel. The MBR means an amount of maximum data that can be transmitted to a lower layer per transmission time interval (TTI) for each logical channel, and the PBR means an amount of minimum data.
Other example of the predetermined event corresponds to a status where data of a specific logical channel designated by the eNB arrive in the buffer. Namely, if data of a specific logical channel designated by the eNB are generated in the UE, the UE can report it to the eNB through the SR channel.
Another embodiment of the present invention will be described below. Since an SR channel is a channel of 1 bit information, even though the UE has neither requested allocation of radio resources through the SR channel nor transmitted the BSR, the eNB may misunderstand that it has received the 1 bit information for channel resource request through the SR channel, due to error occurred during the transmission procedure. In this case, the eNB transmits an allocation message of uplink radio resources to the UE. If the UE receives the allocation message of uplink radio resources from the eNB, the UE transmits the BSR using the allocated radio resources. Meanwhile, if an extra space exists in the MAC PDU, which includes the BSR, the UE can transmit RRC measurement report or RLC status report to the eNB. In this case, the RRC measurement report and the RLC status report are transmitted in such a manner that they are included in the MAC PDU.
The aforementioned embodiments are achieved by combination of structural elements and features of the present invention in a predetermined type. Each of the structural elements or features should be considered selectively unless specified otherwise. Each of the structural elements or features may be carried out without being combined with other structural elements or features. Also, some structural elements and/or features may be combined with one another to constitute the embodiments of the present invention. The order of operations described in the embodiments of the present invention may be changed. Some structural elements or features of one embodiment may be included in another embodiment, or may be replaced with corresponding structural elements or features of another embodiment. Moreover, it will be apparent that some claims referring to specific claims may be combined with another claims referring to the other claims other than the specific claims to constitute the embodiment or add new claims by means of amendment after the application is filed.
the embodiments of the present invention have been described based on data transmission and reception between the eNB and the UE. A specific operation which has been described as being performed by the eNB may be performed by an upper node of the eNB as the case may be. In other words, it will be apparent that various operations performed for communication with the UE in the network which includes a plurality of network nodes along with the eNB may be performed by the eNB or network nodes other than the eNB. The eNB may be replaced with terms such as a fixed station, base station, Node B, eNode B, and access point. Also, the user equipment (UE) may be replaced with terms such as mobile station (MS) and mobile subscriber station (MSS).
