This application is a U.S. National Stage of PCT/US2009/032591 which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/025,485, filed Feb. 1, 2008.
This applications claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/025,485 filed on Feb. 1 2008, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
FIG. 2 depicts a more detailed view of the cell 102 12. The network access equipment 20 in cell 102 12 may promote communication via a transmitting antenna 27 connected to a transmitter, a receiving antenna 29 connected to a receiver, and/or other well known equipment. Similar equipment might be present in the other cells 102. A plurality of UEs 10 (10 a, 10 b, 10 c) are present in the cell 102 12, as might be the case in the other cells 102. In the present disclosure, the cellular systems or cells 102 are described as engaged in certain activities, such as transmitting signals; however, as will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, these activities would in fact be conducted by components comprising the cells.
The format of an uplink channel is shown schematically in FIG. 3. The uplink channel is representative of a two dimensional time-frequency resource, in which frequency is indicated along the vertical axis and time, in the form of OFDM symbols, slots, sub-frames and frames are indicated on the horizontal axis. The transmission can be one of a number of different bandwidths (e.g., 1.25, 5, 15, or 20 MHz). In the time domain, the uplink is broken into frames, sub-frames and slots. Each slot 201 (shown as slots 201 1, 201 2, . . . , 201 19, 201 20, collectively slots 201) is made up of seven orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) symbols 203. Two slots 201 make up a sub-frame 205 (sub-frames 205 1, 205 2, . . . , 205 10, collectively are sub-frames 205). A frame is a collection of 10 contiguous sub-frames. Because the exact details of a sub-frame 205 may vary depending upon the exact implementation, the following description is provided as an example only. The UE will transmit using a constant-amplitude and zero-autocorrelation (CAZAC) sequence so that more than one UE may transmit simultaneously. The demodulation (DM) reference symbol (RS) is placed on the fourth symbol 209 of each slot; and a control channel 211 is taken up by at least one resource block on the very outside edges of the frequency band.
In some embodiments, a sounding reference signal (SRS) is considered to be an uplink timing reference signal transmission. SRS are made available at the beginning, or end, of each sub-frame 205 and is broken down into several blocks of 12 sub-carriers (not individually shown) that correspond to the same frequency bandwidth as a resource block. A UE may use one or all of those frequency blocks depending on the transmission bandwidth selected. The UE may also use every other sub-carrier in one or more multiple frequency blocks. In the illustrated example, the SRS is shown in the first symbol 207 of the sub-frame 205 1 and of sub-frame 201 19. The transmission of SRSs is based on the time between subsequent SRS transmission by a single UE. FIG. 3 also shows where in time and frequency that the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), which occurs on control channel 211, is placed. Control signaling takes place in the PUCCH. In one embodiment, the system implements a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement (ACK)/negative acknowledgement (NACK) feedback. An ACK or NACK is sent on the PUCCH 211 by the UE to the eNB to indicate whether a packet transmitted from the eNB was received at that UE. A physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) is used to send user data.
In order to maintain uplink synchronization, it is desirable for the network access equipment 20 (shown in FIG. 1) to calculate the uplink channel conditions by analyzing signals sent from the UE 10. One possible signaling diagram of signals sent between the network access equipment 20 and the UE 10 is shown in FIG. 4, In this embodiment, the network access equipment 20 instructs the UE 10 when to send an uplink timing reference signal transmission (e.g., SRS), through use of an uplink timing reference signal transmission instruction message 241. The uplink timing reference signal transmission instruction message 241 may include any one of a variety of instructions. For example, the network access equipment 20 may instruct the UE 10 via the timing reference signal transmission instruction message 241 to send the timing reference signal transmissions at a constant rate, or in bursts depending on the velocity of the UE 10 relative to the network access equipment 20. In a response 243, the UE 10 may send the timing reference signal transmissions (e.g., SRS) in accordance with the instructions of the network access equipment 20.
SRS Transmission During DRX “On” Periods
For the example of FIG. 5A, the CQI and SRS are both transmitted during DRX “On” Durations, although not necessarily with the same frequency. In another embodiment, to further save battery consumption, transmission of SRS and CQI is configured to be in the same sub-frame whenever feasible. An example of this is shown in FIG. 3 where the CQI 213 is sent in the same sub-frame 201 1 as the SRS 207. For the example of FIG. 5A, this should be possible for every SRS transmission since the SRS period is twice that of the CQI period. For the example of FIG. 5B, the SRS and CQI can be transmitted in the same sub-frame for every second SRS transmission.
In some embodiments, a combination of the above-described methods is employed in which sometimes the UE only transmits SRS during DRX “On” periods, referred to hereinafter as a first operational mode, and other times the UE transmits SRS irrespective of DRX “On” periods, referred to hereinafter as a second operational mode. FIG. 6A illustrates a flow chart of a specific example of such a method for SRS transmission in a UE 10. The method of FIG. 6A might be executed continuously, or when there is a change in SRS period and/or DRX cycle for example. The SRS period may change as a function of mobility of the UE, whereas the DRX cycle may change as a function of level of communications activity involving the UE. In block 6A-1, the UE receives an instruction from the network. If the instruction is to operate in the first operational mode (yes path, block 6A-2), the UE operates in the first operational mode at block 6A-3. If there are no instructions to operate in the first operational mode (no path, block 6A-2), a subsequent decision involves determining whether there is an instruction to operate in the second operational mode. If the instruction is to operate in the second operational mode (yes path, block 6A-4), the UE operates in the second operational mode at block 6A-5. More generally, in a first operational mode, the UE executes block 6A-3 and in a second operational mode, the UE executes block 6A-5. The conditions for executing the first or second operational mode may be as described above, or may be different. In some implementations, only the first operational mode is provided, or only the second operational mode is provided.
In some embodiments, the UE runs an uplink timing alignment timer as described above in which case the UE further comprises an uplink timing alignment timer module 809. The timer is reset upon receipt of a timing alignment update message by the receive module 801. If the timer expires, the UE releases the resource used for SRS transmission by the transmission module 807. In other embodiments, rather than the UE running a timer, the receive module 801 of the UE receives an instruction from the network that indicates timing has been lost in which case the UE releases the resource used for SRS transmission.
In some embodiments, the network runs an uplink timing alignment timer as described above in which case the processor further comprises an uplink timing alignment timer module 907. The timer is reset upon transmission of a timing alignment update message by the transmission module 905. In one embodiment, if the timer expires, the network sends an instruction to the UE to release the resource used for SRS transmission, and the network also releases the resource used for SRS transmission. In another embodiment, if the timer expires, the network released the resource used for SRS transmission without sending a message to the UE. In this second embodiment, the network may have previously sent a timer value to the UE. Because the UE may have used that timer value to start its own uplink alignment timer, the UE would not need a message from the network informing the UE that the timer had expired and the SRS resource is to be released.
RAN1 and RAN2 are standards related to Radio Layer 1 and Radio Layer 2, respectively. Radio Layer 1 generally pertains to, but is not limited to, the physical layer of the radio interface for UE, UTRAN (UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network), Evolved UTRAN, and beyond and may cover both frequency divisional duplex (FDD) and time divisional duplex (TDD) modes of radio interface. Radio Layer 2 generally pertains to, but is not limited to, radio interface architecture and protocols such as media access control (MAC), radio link control (RLC) and packet data convergence protocol (PDCP), specification of the Radio Resource Control protocol, and strategies of Radio Resource Management and the services provided by the physical layer to the upper layers).
In some embodiments, as described above, DRX in Connected Mode will be configured by the eNB. Part of the configuration is the setting of the DRX-cycle “On” Duration, inactivity timers and HARQ timer. During the “On” Duration, UE will monitor the PDCCH or configured resource for the possible downlink transmissions. When a PDCCH is decoded successfully, an inactivity timer will be started. At the end of the active period, UE may go back to sleep according to the configurations.
