This application is a Continuation application of U.S. application Ser. No. 14/074,327, which was filed in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Nov. 7, 2013, which is a Continuation application of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/155,910, which was filed in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Jun. 8, 2011, and issued as U.S. Pat. No. 8,605,810 on Dec. 10, 2013, and claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application Nos. 61/352,631 and 61/408,293, which were filed in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Jun. 8, 2010, and Oct. 29, 2010, respectively, the content of each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates generally to wireless communication systems and, more specifically, to the multiplexing of control information and data information in a physical channel transmitted in the uplink of a communication system.
A communication system includes a DownLink (DL) that conveys transmission of signals from a Base Station (BS or Node B) to User Equipment (UEs) and an UpLink (UL) that conveys transmission of signals from UEs to a Node B. A UE, also commonly referred to as a terminal or a mobile station, may be fixed or mobile and may be a wireless device, cellular phone, personal computer device, and the like. A Node B is generally a fixed station and may also be referred to as a Base Transceiver System (BTS), an access point, or the like.
The UL supports the transmission of data signals carrying information content, control signals providing information associated with the transmission of data signals in the DL, and Reference Signals (RSs), which are commonly referred to as pilot signals. The DL also supports the transmission of data signals, control signals, and RSs.
DL data signals are conveyed through a Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH). UL data signals are conveyed through a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH).
DL control signals may be broadcast or sent in a UE-specific nature. Accordingly, UE-specific control signals can be used, among other purposes, to provide UEs with Scheduling Assignments (SAs) for PDSCH reception (DL SAs) or PUSCH transmission (UL SAs). The SAs are transmitted from Node B to respective UEs using Downlink Control Information (DCI) formats through respective Physical Downlink Control CHannels (PDCCHs).
In the absence of a PUSCH transmission, a UE conveys Uplink Control Information (UCI) through a Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH). However, when it has a PUSCH transmission, the UE may convey UCI together with data information through the PUSCH.
The UCI includes ACKnowledgment (ACK) information associated with the use of a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) process. The HARQ-ACK information is sent in response to the reception of Transport Blocks (TBs) by the UE conveyed by the PDSCH.
The UCI may also include a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), or a Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), or a Rank Indicator (RI), which may be jointly referred to as Channel State Information (CSI). The CQI provides Node B with a measure of the Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR) the UE experiences over sub-bands or over the whole operating DL BandWidth (BW). This measure is typically in the form of the highest Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) for which a predetermined BLock Error Rate (BLER) can be achieved for the transmission of TBs. The MCS represents the product of the modulation order (number of data bits per modulation symbol) and of the coding rate applied to the transmission of data information. The PMI/RI informs Node B how to combine the signal transmission to the UE from multiple Node B antennas using the Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) principle.
FIG. 1 illustrates a conventional PUSCH transmission structure. For simplicity, the Transmission Time Interval (TTI) is one sub-frame 110 which includes two slots. Each slot 120 includes Nsymb UL symbols used for the transmission of data signals, UCI signals, or RSs. Each symbol 130 includes a Cyclic Prefix (CP) to mitigate interference due to channel propagation effects. The PUSCH transmission in one slot may be either at a same or different BW as the PUSCH transmission in the other slot. Some symbols in each slot are used to transmit RS 140, which enables channel estimation and coherent demodulation of the received data and/or UCI signals. The transmission BW includes frequency resource units that will be referred to herein as Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs). Each PRB includes Nsc RB, sub-carriers, or Resource Elements (REs), and a UE is allocated MPUSCH PRBs 150 for a total of Msc PUSCH=MPUSCH·Nsc RB REs for the PUSCH transmission BW. The last sub-frame symbol may be used for the transmission of Sounding RS (SRS) 160 from one or more UEs. The SRS provides Node B with a CQI estimate for the UL channel medium for the respective UE. The SRS transmission parameters are semi-statically configured by Node B to each UE through higher layer signaling such as, for example, Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling. The number of sub-frame symbols available for data transmission is Nsymb PUSCH=2·(Nsymb UL−1)−NSRS, where NSRS=1 if the last sub-frame symbol is used for SRS transmission having overlapping BW with PUSCH BW, and NSRS=0 otherwise.
FIG. 2 illustrates a conventional transmitter for transmitting data, CSI, and HARQ-ACK signals in a PUSCH. Coded CSI bits 205 and coded data bits 210 are multiplexed 220. HARQ-ACK bits are then inserted by puncturing data bits and/or CSI bits 230. The Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is then performed by the DFT unit 240, the REs are then selected by the sub-carrier mapping unit 250 corresponding to the PUSCH transmission BW from controller 255, the Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) is performed by an IFFT unit 260 and finally CP insertion is performed by a CP insertion unit 270, and time windowing is performed by filter 280, thereby generating a transmitted signal 290. The PUSCH transmission is assumed to be over clusters of contiguous REs in accordance to the DFT Spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (DFT-S-OFDMA) method for signal transmission over one cluster 295A (also known as Single-Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA)), or over multiple non-contiguous clusters 295B.
FIG. 3 illustrates a conventional receiver for receiving a transmission signal as illustrated in FIG. 2. After an antenna receives the Radio-Frequency (RF) analog signal and after further processing units (such as filters, amplifiers, frequency down-converters, and analog-to-digital converters) which are not illustrated for brevity, the received digital signal 310 is filtered by filter 320 and the CP is removed by CP removal unit 330. Subsequently, the receiver unit applies a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) by an FFT unit 340, selects the REs used by the transmitter using a sub-carrier demapping unit 350 under a control of controller 355, applies an Inverse DFT (IDFT) using an IDFT unit 360, an extraction unit 370 extracts the HARQ-ACK bits, and a de-multiplexing unit 380 de-multiplexes the data bits 390 and CSI bits 395.
For HARQ-ACK or RI transmission in a PUSCH, a UE determines the respective number of coded symbols Q′ as shown in Equation (1):
Q ′ = min ( ⌈ O · β offset PUSCH Q m · R ⌉ , 4 · M sc PUSCH ) ( 1 )
where O is a number of HARQ-ACK information bits or RI information bits, βoffset PUSCH is informed to the UE through RRC signaling, Qm is a number of data bits per modulation symbol (Qm=2, 4, 6 for QPSK, QAM16, QAM64, respectively), R a data code rate for an initial PUSCH transmission for the same TB, Msc PUSCH is a PUSCH transmission BW in a current sub-frame, and ┌ ┐ indicates a ceiling operation that rounds a number to its next integer. The maximum number of HARQ-ACK or RI REs is limited to the REs of 4 DFT-S-OFDM symbols (4·Msc PUSCH).
The number of HARQ-ACK or RI coded symbols in Equation (1) is derived subject to achieving the respective reception reliability target (BLER) depending on the data reception reliability target (BLER). For given UL channel conditions, the data BLER depends on the data MCS, as defined by the product Qm·R, and the link between the HARQ-ACK BLER or RI BLER and the data BLER is established by the βoffset PUSCH parameter. For a fixed UCI BLER target, the βoffset PUSCH parameter allows Node B scheduler to vary the data BLER by also varying the βoffset PUSCH value. For example, from Equation (1), Node B scheduler can increase the data BLER target (by increasing Qm·R) and maintain the same UCI BLER target by applying a same increase to the βoffset PUSCH value.
The reason for dimensioning the number of coded HARQ-ACK or RI symbols in Equation (1) relative to the initial PUSCH transmission for the same TB is because the respective target BLER is determined relative to the data BLER for the initial PUSCH transmission of the same TB. Moreover, HARQ retransmissions of the same TB may be non-adaptive.
The data code rate R for the initial PUSCH transmission of the same TB is defined as in Equation (2):
R = ( ∑ r = 0 C - 1 ⁢ K r ) / ( Q m · M sc PUSCH - initial · N symb PUSCH - initial ) ( 2 )
where C is a total number of data code blocks of the TB, Kr is a number of bits for data code block number r, and Msc PUSCH-initial and Nsymb PUSCH-initial are respectively a PUSCH BW (number of sub-carriers) and a number of DFT-S-OFDM symbols. Therefore, Equation (1) is equivalent to Equation (3):
Q ′ = min ( ⌈ O · β offset PUSCH · M sc PUSCH - initial ⁣ · N symb PUSCH - initial ∑ r = 0 C - 1 ⁢ K r ⌉ , 4 · M sc PUSCH ) ( 3 )
When the UE receives one TB, the HARQ-ACK includes 1 bit which is encoded as a binary ‘1’ if the TB is correctly received (positive acknowledgement or ACK), or as a binary ‘0’ if the TB is incorrectly received (negative acknowledgment or NACK). When the UE receives two TBs, the HARQ-ACK includes 2 bits [o0 ACK o1 ACK] with o0 ACK for TB 0 and o1 ACK for TB 1. The encoding for the HARQ-ACK bits is given in Table 1 below, where o2 ACK=(o0 ACK+o1 ACK) mod 2 to provide a (3, 2) simplex code for the 2-bit HARQ-ACK transmission.
TABLE 1 Encoding for 1-bit and 2-bits of HARQ-ACK m Encoded HARQ-ACK - 1 bit Encoded HARQ-ACK - 2 bits [o0 ACK y] [o0 ACK o1 ACK o2 ACK o0 ACK o1 ACK o2 ACK] [o0 ACK y x x] [o0 ACK o1 ACK x x o2 ACK o0 ACK x x o1 ACK o2 ACK x x] [o0 ACK y x x x x ] [o0 ACK o1 ACK x x x x o2 ACK o0 ACK x x x x o1 ACK o2 ACKx x x x
For CQI/PMI multiplexing in a PUSCH, a UE determines a respective number of coded symbols Q′ as shown in Equation (4):
Q ′ = min ( ⌈ ( O + L ) · β offset PUSCH Q m · R ⌉ , M sc PUSCH · N symb PUSCH - Q RI Q m ) ( 4 )
or Equation (5):
Q ′ = min ( ⌈ ( O + L ) · β offset PUSCH · M sc PUSCH - initial ⁣ · N symb PUSCH - initial ∑ r = 0 C - 1 ⁢ K r ⌉ , M sc PUSCH · N symb PUSCH - Q RI Q m ) ( 5 )
where O is a number of CQI/PMI information bits and L is a number of Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) bits given by
L = { 0 O ≤ 11 8 otherwise ,
and QCQI=Qm·Q′. If RI is not transmitted, then QRI=0. For CQI/PMI channel coding, convolutional coding is used if O>11 bits and (32, O) Reed-Mueller (RM) block coding is used if O≤11 bits. The code words of the (32, O) block code are a linear combination of the 11 basis sequences denoted by Mi,n. Denoting the input sequence by o0, o1, o2, . . . , oO-1 and the encoded CQI/PMI block by b0, b1, b2, b3, . . . , bB-1 B=32, it is
b i = ∑ n = 0 O - 1 ⁢ ( o n · M i , n ) ⁢ mod ⁢ ⁢ ⁢ 2 ,
i=0, 1, 2, . . . , B−1. The output sequence q0, q1, q2, q3, . . . , qQ CQI -1, is obtained by circular repetition of the encoded CQI/PMI block as qi=b(i mod B), i=0, 1, 2, . . . , QCQI−1.
Among the UCI, HARQ-ACK has the highest reliability requirements and the respective REs are located next to the RS in each slot in order to obtain the most accurate channel estimate for their demodulation. When there is no CQI/PMI transmission, RI is placed at the symbols after the HARQ-ACK, while CQI/PMI transmission is uniformly multiplexed throughout the sub-frame.
FIG. 4 illustrates UCI multiplexing in a PUSCH sub-frame. The HARQ-ACK bits 410 are placed next to the RS 420 in each slot of the PUSCH sub-frame. The CQI/PMI 430 is multiplexed across all DFT-S-OFDM symbols and the remaining bits of the sub-frame carries transmission of data bits 440. As the multiplexing is prior to the DFT, a virtual frequency dimension is used for the UCI placement.
MIMO techniques are associated with signal transmissions from multiple antennas in at least partially (if not fully) overlapping time-frequency resources. The rank S of a MIMO transmission is defined as the number of spatial layers and is always smaller than or equal to the number of UE transmitter antennas T. In the UL, when the transmitter antennas are from the same UE, the MIMO technique is referred to as Single-User MIMO (SU-MIMO). When the transmitter antennas are from different UEs, the MIMO technique is referred to as Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO). UL SU-MIMO is typically associated with T=2 or T=4.
Different SU-MIMO techniques can be used to target different operating environments. For example, precoding with rank-1 can be used to improve coverage while spatial multiplexing with rank-4 can be used to improve Spectral Efficiency (SE) and increase data rates. The precoder is a S×T matrix. Multiple spatial streams can be encoded either jointly in a single Code Word (CW) or separately in multiple (typically two) CWs. The tradeoff of using multiple CWs is that the MCS for the respective multiple sets of spatial streams can be individually adjusted and Serial Interference Cancellation (SIC) receivers can be used which can improve SE over Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) receivers at the expense of increased feedback overhead over using a single CW.
FIG. 5 illustrates a CW-to-layer mapping. At most 2 CWs exist and each CW is associated with a TB (one TB can be segmented into multiple code blocks C). Each TB is associated with one HARQ process and one MCS. For rank-1 transmission 510, a single CW, CW0, corresponding to a single spatial layer is precoded, either for 2 (1×2 precoder) or for 4 (1×4 precoder) UE transmitter antennas. For rank-2 transmission 520, two CWs, CW0 and CW1, corresponding to two spatial layers are precoded, either for 2 (2×2 precoder matrix) or for 4 (2×4 precoder matrix) UE transmitter antennas. For rank-3 transmission 530 (applicable only for 4 UE transmitter antennas), two CWs, CW0 and CW1, corresponding to three spatial layers are precoded (3×4 precoder matrix) where CW0 is transmitted using one spatial layer and CW1 is transmitted using two spatial layers. For rank-4 transmission 540 (applicable only for 4 UE transmitter antennas), two CWs, CW0 and CW1, corresponding to four spatial layers are precoded (4×4 precoder matrix) where each CW is transmitted using two spatial layers.
For UCI multiplexing in a PUSCH with SU-MIMO transmission, the only practical choices are to either multiplex UCI in one CW or in both CWs. The present invention considers the case that both CWs are used. The UCI is equally replicated across all spatial layers of both CWs and Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) between UCI and data is such that the UCI symbols are time-aligned across all layers.
FIG. 6 illustrates the above principle for the case of HARQ-ACK and 2 layers (corresponding to 2 CWs). The same REs and DFT-S-OFDM symbols are used for multiplexing HARQ-ACK 610 in the first spatial layer (Layer 0 620) and for multiplexing HARQ-ACK 630 in the second spatial layer (Layer 1 640).
When UCI is multiplexed into multiple spatial layers and multiple CWs (multiple TBs) of the same PUSCH transmission with SU-MIMO, the previous expressions for determining the number of REs used for UCI transmission are no longer applicable. Moreover, Node B scheduler may assign different BLER operating points to the different TBs conveyed respectively by the different CWs (for example, in order to improve the performance of a SIC receiver, the initial reception of CW0 may be more reliable than of CW1).
Therefore, there is a need to determine the number of coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer in a PUSCH with SU-MIMO transmission.
There is another need to allow reliable reception of UCI transmitted in multiple TBs when these TBs have different reception reliability characteristics.
There is another need to simplify the processing for the reception of UCI transmitted in multiple TBs.
Finally, there is another need to determine the number of coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer in a PUSCH with transmission of a single TB corresponding to a retransmission of a HARQ process having multiple TBs in the initial PUSCH transmission that include the single TB.
Accordingly, an aspect of the present invention is to address at least the aforementioned limitations and problems in the prior art and to provide at least the advantages described below.
Accordingly, an aspect of the present invention provides methods and apparatuses for a UE to multiplex control information in a PUSCH conveying data information over multiple spatial layers using a MIMO transmission principle.
In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, a UE is assigned by a base station PUSCH transmission from multiple transmitter antennas in multiple spatial layers over a number of sub-carriers Msc PUSCH in the frequency domain and over a number of symbols in the time domain. The PUSCH transmission includes two CWs, CW0 and CW1, with each CW conveying a corresponding TB of data information, TB0 and TB1 with the transmission of each TB being associated with a respective HARQ process, and with CW0 having a first MCS, MCS0, and CW1 having a second MCS, MCS1. The UE computes the average MCS from the first MCS and the second MCS for the initial PUSCH transmissions of TB0 and TB1 for the respective HARQ processes and determines the number of coded control information symbols Q′ in each spatial layer to be proportional to the product of the number of control information bits O and a parameter βoffset PUSCH assigned to the UE by the base station through radio resource control signaling and to be inversely proportional to the average MCS or, equivalently,
Q ′ = min ( ⌈ O · β offset PUSCH ∑ r = 0 C 0 - 1 ⁢ K r 0 M sc PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 0 ) ⁣ · N symb PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 0 ) + ∑ r = 0 C 1 - 1 ⁢ K r 1 M sc PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 1 ) ⁣ · N symb PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 1 ) ⌉ , 4 · M sc PUSCH ) ,
wherein the ┌ ┐ function is a ceiling operation that rounds a number to its next integer and, for j=0,1, MCSj=Qm j·Rj with Qm j and Rj being respectively the modulation order and coding rate for the initial PUSCH transmission of TBj for the respective HARQ process and
R j = ( ∑ r = 0 C j - 1 ⁢ K r 0 ) / ( Q m j · M sc PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( j ) · N symb PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( j ) )
where Cj is the total number of code blocks for TBj, Kr j is the number of bits for code block r in TBj, Msc PUSCH-initial(j) is the number of sub-carriers in the initial PUSCH, and Nsymb PUSCH-initial(j) is the number of symbols in the initial PUSCH.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a UE determines the same number of coded control information symbols when it is assigned by the base station initial PUSCH transmission from multiple transmitter antennas in a single spatial layer and when it is assigned by the base station initial PUSCH transmission from a single transmitter antenna.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the base station assigns to a UE a first parameter value βoffset,SU-MIMO PUSCH to use for computing the number of coded control information symbols in each spatial layer of a PUSCH transmission conveying multiple TBs and a second parameter value βoffset PUSCH to use for computing the number of coded control information symbols in each spatial layer of a PUSCH transmission conveying a single TB.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the modulation of the coded control information symbols in each spatial layer of a PUSCH transmission conveying multiple TBs is the modulation with the smaller order of the data information in the multiple TBs.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a UE is assigned by a base station a first PUSCH transmission from multiple transmitter antennas to convey data information in multiple spatial layers and in two CWs, CW0 and CW1, with each CW conveying a corresponding TB, TB0 and TB1, of data information, and is assigned a second PUSCH to convey data information in a single spatial layer or in multiple spatial layers (from a single or from multiple transmitter antennas) for a retransmission of either TB0 or TB1 for the respective HARQ process, and the UE multiplexes control information of O bits with data information in the second PUSCH over a number of sub-carriers Msc PUSCH. The UE determines the number of coded control information symbols Q′ in each spatial layer by applying a first parameter value βoffset,CW 0 PUSCH if the retransmission is for the first TB from the two TBs and by applying a second parameter value βoffset,CW 1 PUSCH if the retransmission is for the second TB from the two TBs, wherein the first parameter value βoffset,CW 0 PUSCH and the second parameter value βoffset,CW i PUSCH are assigned to the UE by the base station using radio resource control signaling. The number of coded control information symbols in each spatial layer if the retransmission is for TBj, j=0,1, is obtained as
Q ′ = min ( ⌈ O · M sc PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( j ) · N symb PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( j ) · β offset , ⁢ CW 1 PUSCH ∑ r = 0 C j - 1 ⁢ K r j ⌉ , 4 · M sc PUSCH )
wherein ┌ ┐ is a ceiling function that rounds a number to its next integer and, for the initial PUSCH transmission of TBj, Cj is the total number of code blocks, Kr j is the number of bits for code block r, Msc PUSCH-initial(j) is the number of sub-carriers, and Nsymb PUSCH-initial(j) is the number of symbols.

Various embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
Additionally, although the present invention is described for a Discrete Fourier Transform Spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (DFT-S-OFDMA) transmission, it also applies to all Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) transmissions in general and to Single-Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) and OFDM in particular.
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the number of coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer is derived for a PUSCH with SU-MIMO transmission of the data information over two CWs, CW0 and CW1 (transmissions of data information with rank-2, rank-3, and rank-4) conveying, respectively, two TBs, TB0 and TB1. For rank-1 transmission (single spatial layer), the same derivation for the number of coded UCI symbols as for the case of a single UE transmitter antenna applies. The description primarily considers the HARQ-ACK or RI control information but the same principles can be directly extended to the CQI/PMI.
FIG. 7 illustrates the general principle for the determination of the number of coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer of a PUSCH with SU-MIMO transmission in order to achieve the desired target for the UCI reception reliability. Depending on the transmission rank of the data information 710 (for the initial PUSCH transmission), the UE determines a first number of coded UCI symbols if the transmission rank is 1, as in 720 and determines a second number of coded UCI symbols (for each spatial layer) if the transmission rank is larger than 1, as in 730.
The data information in CW0 (TB0) has modulation order Qm 0 and coding rate
R 0 = ( ∑ r = 0 C 0 - 1 ⁢ K r 0 ) / ( Q m 0 · M sc PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 0 ) · N symb PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 0 ) )
while the data information in CW1 (TB1) has modulation order Qm 1 and coding rate
R 1 = ( ∑ r = 0 C 1 - 1 ⁢ K r 1 ) / ( Q m 1 · M sc PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 1 ) · N symb PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 1 ) )
where, for the initial transmission of TBj, (j=0,1), Cj is the total number of code blocks for TBj, Kr j is the number of bits for code block r and, Msc PUSCH-initial(j) is the number of sub-carriers, and Nsymb PUSCH-initial(j) is the number of symbols.
If only CW0 (TB0) is transmitted, the number of coded UCI symbols (per spatial layer) is
Q 0 ′ = min ( ⌈ O · β offset PUSCH Q m 0 · R 0 ⌉ , 4 · M sc PUSCH ) .
If only CW1 (TB1) is transmitted, the number of coded UCI symbols is
Q 1 ′ = min ( ⌈ O · β offset PUSCH Q m 1 · R 1 ⌉ , 4 · M sc PUSCH ) .
It assumed that the data information can have different MCS for the two TBs, that is MCS0=Qm 0·R0 can be different than MCS1=Qm 1·R1.
The objective is to determine the number of coded UCI symbols where both CWs (TBs) are transmitted in a PUSCH subject to the design constraint that the UCI is replicated across all layers of both CWs and the coded UCI symbols are time-aligned across all layers as illustrated in FIG. 6.
For rank-2 or rank-4 transmission of the data information, it is assumed that the same number of spatial layers is allocated among the CWs (TBs) as illustrated in FIG. 5. For a rank-3 transmission of the data information, CW0 (TB0) is allocated one spatial layer while CW1 (TB1) is allocated two spatial layers but the precoder is such that the transmission power is twice for the single spatial layer allocated to CW0 (TB1). For example, one precoder W for rank-3 can be as in the matrix Equation (6):
W = [ 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 ] . ( 6 )
Since the transmission power per CW is the same regardless if rank-2, rank-3, or rank-4 SU-MIMO is used, assuming that the capacity curve is linear between the SINR operating points for the two CWs, the virtual MCS, MCSvirtual, of the combined transmission of the data information in the two TBs for the respective two CWs can be viewed as the average of the individual MCS. Consequently, subject to the previously mentioned design constraint and considering that the number of coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer is inversely proportional to the MCS of the data information, the coded UCI symbols used in each of the spatial layers of the two CWs are determined as in Equation (7):
Q SU - MIMO ′ = ⁢ min ( ⌈ O · β offset PUSCH MCS virtual ⌉ , 4 · M sc PUSCH ) = ⁢ min ( ⌈ O · β offset PUSCH ( Q m 0 · R ⁢ 0 + Q m 1 · R 1 ) / 2 ⌉ , 4 · M sc PUSCH ) ( 7 )
or equivalently, by absorbing the factor of 2 in the βoffset PUSCH value, as in Equation (8):
Q SU - MIMO ′ = min ( ⌈ O · β offset PUSCH ∑ r = 0 C 0 - 1 ⁢ K r 0 M sc PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 0 ) · N symb PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 0 ) + ∑ r = 0 C 1 - 1 ⁢ K r 1 M sc PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 1 ) · N symb PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 1 ) ⌉ , 4 · M sc PUSCH ) ( 8 )
FIG. 8 illustrates the concept of using a virtual MCS which is determined as the average of the MCS used for the transmission of data information in CW0 (for TB0), MCS0, and the MCS used for the transmission of data information in CW1 (for TB1), MCS1. The average 830 of the MCS for CW0 810 and the MCS for CW1 820 are computed to provide the virtual MCS, MCSvirtual, for the data transmission with CW0 and CW1 840. This virtual MCS can then be used to compute the number of coded UCI symbols in spatial layer 850 as in Equation (8).
In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, the accuracy for the required number of coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer is further improved where the data information in each CW (TB) can have different target BLER. Then, assuming that the UCI target BLER is predetermined and independent of the data information BLER in each CW (TB), the βoffset,CW 0 PUSCH offset value that would be used to determine the coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer where only CW0 (TB0) was transmitted would be different than the βoffset,CW 1 PUSCH offset value that would be used to determine the number of coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer where only CW1 (TB1) was transmitted. Then, the number of coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer for SU-MIMO transmission with 2 CWs is determined based on the average of the total number of coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer corresponding to individual CW transmissions as in Equation (9):
Q SU - MIMO ′ = ⁢ min ( ⌈ O ( Q m 0 · R 0 β offset , ⁢ CW 0 PUSCH + Q m 1 · R 1 β offset , ⁢ CW ⁢ ⁢ 1 PUSCH ) / 2 ⌉ , 4 · M sc PUSCH ) = ⁢ min ( ⌈ 2 · O · β offset , ⁢ CW 0 PUSCH Q m 0 · R ⁢ 0 + Q m 1 · R 1 · β offset , ⁢ CW 0 PUSCH β offset , ⁢ CW 1 PUSCH ⌉ , 4 · M sc PUSCH ) ( 9 )
or equivalently, by absorbing the factor of 2 in the βoffset PUSCH values, as in Equation (10):
Q SU - MIMO ′ = min ( ⌈ O · β offset , ⁢ CW 0 PUSCH ∑ r = 0 C 0 - 1 ⁢ K r 0 M sc PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 0 ) · N symb PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 0 ) + ∑ r = 0 C 1 - 1 ⁢ K r 1 M sc PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 1 ) · N symb PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 1 ) · β offset , ⁢ CW 0 PUSCH β offset , ⁢ CW 1 PUSCH ⌉ , 4 · M sc PUSCH ) ( 10 )
FIG. 9 illustrates determining the number of coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer in a PUSCH using SU-MIMO transmission with 2 CWs (2 TBs) for the data information while accounting for the possibility to have different BLER targets for the data information in each CW (TB). The MCS for CW1 910 is scaled by βoffset,CW 0 PUSCH/βoffset,CW 1 PUSCH 920 and the result is added to the MCS for CW0 930. The output is then scaled by ½940 (may be omitted by absorbing the factor of 2 in the βoffset PUSCH values) and the result is then used as a new virtual MCS for obtaining the number of coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer based on the βoffset,CW 0 PUSCH offset value 950 as described in Equation (10).
Alternatively, assuming that the capacity curve is linear between the two SINR points corresponding to the BLER targets for the data information in the two CWs (TBs), a new βoffset PUSCH offset value that is common to both CWs (TBs) can be defined where of SU-MIMO PUSCH transmissions, for example as βoffset,SU-MIMO PUSCH=(βoffset,CW 0 PUSCH+βoffset,CW 1 PUSCH)/2, and the number of coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer can be obtained as in Equation (11):
Q SU - MIMO ′ = min ( ⌈ O · β offset , SU - MIMO PUSCH ∑ r = 0 C 0 - 1 ⁢ K r 0 M sc PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 0 ) · N symb PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 0 ) + ∑ r = 0 C 1 - 1 ⁢ K r 1 M sc PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 1 ) · N symb PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 1 ) ⌉ , 4 · M sc PUSCH ) ( 11 )
The factor of 2 is now absorbed in the new βoffset,SU-MIMO PUSCH parameter.
In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, the number of coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer is determined where only a single CW (TB) is used (in a single spatial layer or in multiple spatial layers) for the PUSCH transmission of data information corresponding to a TB retransmission for the same HARQ process (the TB corresponding to the data information in the other CW is assumed to be correctly received in the previous PUSCH transmission for the same HARQ process). Then, the number of coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer is determined using a same approach as for a PUSCH transmission from a single UE antenna for the respective CW. Therefore, if only CW0 (TB0) is included in a PUSCH transmission corresponding to a TB retransmission for the same HARQ process, the number of coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer is determined as in Equation (12):
Q CW 0 ′ = min ( ⁢ ⌈ O · M sc PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 0 ) · N symb PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 0 ) · β offset , ⁢ CW 0 PUSCH ∑ r = 0 C 0 - 1 ⁢ K r 0 ⌉ , 4 · M sc PUSCH ) ( 12 )
If only CW1 (TB1) is included in a PUSCH transmission corresponding to a TB retransmission for the same HARQ process, the number of coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer is determined as in Equation (13):
Q CW 1 ′ = min ( ⁢ ⌈ O · M sc PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 1 ) · N symb PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 1 ) · β offset , ⁢ CW 1 PUSCH ∑ r = 0 C 1 - 1 ⁢ K r 1 ⌉ , 4 · M sc PUSCH ) ( 13 )
FIG. 10 illustrates the determination for the number of coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer for the case of a single CW (TB) transmission in a PUSCH corresponding to a HARQ retransmission for the TB for which the initial PUSCH transmission was with SU-MIMO and two CWs (two TBs). If UCI is included in the PUSCH during a HARQ retransmission with a single CW (TB), either CW0 (TB0) or CW1 (TB1) as in 1010, then if only CW0 (TB0) is retransmitted the number of coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer is determined according to the MCS of the data information and the offset for CW0 (TB0) as in 1020 while if only CW1 (TB1) is retransmitted the number of coded UCI symbols in each spatial layer is determined according to the MCS of the data information and the offset for CW1 (TB1) 1030.
In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a simplified Node B receiver processing is considered, particularly if coding is used for a multi-bit HARQ-ACK or RI transmission (such as for example block coding). In order to avoid interference among UCI transmissions in different spatial layers corresponding to different CWs (TBs) which may use different data modulation orders and to minimize UCI decoding latency, the constellation points of the same modulation order, Qm, can be used for the transmission of the coded UCI symbols even when different data modulation orders are used in each of the two CWs (TBs). In this manner, the receiver can consider a single set of constellation points, corresponding to a single Qm, for joint UCI detection across all spatial layers. The Qm for the transmission of the coded UCI symbols may correspond to the lower modulation order of the two data modulation orders for the respective two CWs (TBs). For example, if QAM64 (Qm=6) is used for data transmission in CW0 (TB0) and QAM16 (Qm=4) is used for data transmission in CW1 (TB1), then the transmission of coded UCI symbols in all spatial layers (in both CWs) uses the constellation points for Qm=4 as described in Table 1. If QAM16 (Qm=4) is used for data transmission in CW0 (TB0) and QPSK (Qm=2) is used for data transmission in CW1 (TB1), then the transmission of coded UCI symbols in all spatial layers (in both CWs/TBs) uses the constellation points for (Qm=2) as described in Table 1.
FIG. 11 illustrates the determination of Qm for the coded UCI symbols based on the data information modulation order Qm 0 for CW0 (TB0) and Qm 1 for CW1 (TB1). The UE determines whether Qm 0≤Qm 1 1110 and selects Qm 0 for the modulation of the coded UCI symbols if Qm 0≤Qm 1 1120 while it selects Qm 1 for the modulation of the coded UCI symbols if Qm 0>Qm 1, as in 1130.
If Qm 0≠Qm 1 and the modulation for the coded UCI symbol is the smaller of Qm 0 and Qm 1, the number of coded UCI symbols in previous equations may need to be adjusted accordingly (increased) in order to maintain the same UCI BER (unless the UCI performance loss from using a lower value for one of the two MCS can be considered to be offset by the performance gain provided by the spatial beam-forming gain from SU-MIMO). For example, if Qm 0>Qm 1, Equation (11) may be modified as in Equation (14):
Q SU - MIMO ′ = min ( ⌈ O · β offset , SU - MIMO PUSCH ( Q m 1 Q m 0 ) · ∑ r = 0 C 0 - 1 ⁢ K r 0 M sc PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 0 ) · N symb PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 0 ) + ∑ r = 0 C 1 - 1 ⁢ K r 1 M sc PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 1 ) · N symb PUSCH - initial ⁡ ( 1 ) ⌉ , 4 · M sc PUSCH ) ( 14 )
Nevertheless, the principles for determining the number of coded UCI symbols remain the same.
