detailed description

For a clear and concise description of the following embodiments, a brief introduction of the related art is first given:

First, HARQ

Due to the time-varying characteristics of the wireless channel and the impact of multipath fading on signal transmission, and some unpredictable interference will lead to signal transmission failure, the HARQ mechanism is used in LTE, which will automatically retransmit the request (English full name: automatic repeat) -request, English abbreviation: ARQ) and forward error correction (English full name: forward error correction, English abbreviation: FEC) mixed use. In the FEC technique, by adding a certain check bit to an information bit (English: bit), the coding rate is lowered, thereby ensuring quality of service. In the ARQ technology, the receiving end determines the correctness of the received data packet by using the CRC information. If the data packet is received correctly, send a response (English full name: acknowledgement, English abbreviation: ACK) information Inform the sender; if the packet fails to receive, send a non-response (English full name: not-acknowledgement, English abbreviation: NACK) information to the sender, the sender will resend the corresponding packet.

Among them, the use of FEC in HARQ reduces the number of retransmissions and reduces the bit error rate; the ARQ retransmission and CRC check are used to ensure a lower bit error rate requirement. This mechanism is a compromise solution that automatically corrects errors within the scope of error correction capability. Exceeding the error correction range requires the sender to resend, which increases the reliability of the system and improves the transmission efficiency of the system.

Second, the classification of HARQ

According to the time when retransmission occurs, HARQ can be divided into two types: synchronous and asynchronous. This is also one of the topics discussed in the LTE of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (English: 3GPP). Synchronous HARQ means that the transmission (retransmission) of a HARQ process occurs at a fixed time. Since the receiving end knows the occurrence time of the transmission in advance, no additional signaling overhead is required to indicate the sequence number of the HARQ process. At this time, HARQ The sequence number of the process can be obtained from the subframe number. The asynchronous HARQ means that the transmission of one HARQ process can occur at any time. The receiving end does not know the time of occurrence of the transmission in advance. Therefore, the processing sequence number of the HARQ process needs to be sent together with the data.

According to whether the data characteristics at the time of retransmission are changed, HARQ can be divided into two types: non-adaptive and adaptive. The transmission parameters include resource allocation, modulation mode, length of the transport block, and duration of transmission. Adaptive transmission means that in each retransmission process, the transmitting end can change part of the transmission parameters according to the actual channel state information. Therefore, the control signaling of the transmission parameters is sent together in the process of each transmission. The changeable transmission parameters include the modulation mode, the allocation of resources, and the duration of transmission. In a non-adaptive system, these transmission parameters are known in advance with respect to the receiving end, and therefore control signaling information containing transmission parameters does not need to be transmitted in the non-adaptive system.

Third, the HARQ mechanism in LTE

The LTE downlink system uses asynchronous adaptive HARQ technology because of synchronization For non-adaptive HARQ technology, asynchronous HARQ can make full use of the channel state information to improve the system throughput. On the other hand, asynchronous HARQ can avoid resource allocation conflicts during retransmission and cause performance loss. For example, in synchronous HARQ, if a higher priority process needs to be scheduled, but resources at that time have been allocated to a certain HARQ process, resource allocation will conflict; and asynchronous HARQ retransmission does not occur at a fixed time. At the moment, this problem can be effectively avoided. At the same time, according to the actual requirements of the physical layer/media access control (English full name: MAC) layer in LTE, asynchronous HARQ has the advantages of large scheduling flexibility and can support multiple processes in one subframe.

The process of LTE mid-downlink asynchronous HARQ is completed by uplink ACK/NACK signaling transmission, new data indication, downlink resource allocation signaling transmission, and retransmission of downlink data. The channel coding redundancy version of each retransmission is predefined and does not require additional signaling support. Wherein, since the channel coding rate of the downlink HARQ retransmission has been determined, that is, the channel coding efficiency of each retransmission is unchanged, the complete modulation and coding scheme (English name: modulation and coding scheme, English abbreviation: MCS) is not performed. The selection, but the modulation mode can still be selected, that is, due to the environmental change of the channel, the amount of data that the channel can receive is reduced, and the modulation mode needs to be changed to adapt to the channel change. The change of the modulation mode will cause the difference of the number of resource blocks (English name: resource block, English abbreviation: RB). Therefore, it is necessary to allocate the indication to the UE through the downlink signaling resource. In addition, a data indicator of one bit is required. English full name: new data indication, English abbreviation: NDI) indicates whether the transmission is new data or data that has not been translated before retransmission. When the bit is a preset value, it indicates that the data transmitted before is not translated, and when the bit is inverted, it indicates that the new data is transmitted. Exemplarily, when NDI is non-zero, it indicates that the data is not previously translated, and when NDI is 0, it indicates that the new data is transmitted; or, when NDI is 0, it indicates that the transmission is before There is no data translated, and when NDI is non-zero, it means that the new data is transmitted.

As shown in Figure 2, the base station sends a downlink data on the physical downlink shared channel (English short name: PDSCH) at time 0. After the UE listens, it first decodes and finds that the decoding fails. , it will be at time 4 The physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) feeds back the last transmitted NACK information to the base station, and the base station demodulates and processes the NACK information in the PUCCH, and then retransmits the data according to the downlink resource allocation situation. Scheduling, the scheduling time at this time is not specified, the base station schedules according to the situation. It is assumed that the retransmission is sent on the PDSCH at time 6. If the UE successfully decodes at this time, it sends an ACK at time 10, then a transmission is performed. ended.

Fourth, the redundancy version (English full name: redundancy version, English abbreviation: RV)

In the LTE HARQ mechanism, if the MAC protocol data unit (English name: protocol data unit, English abbreviation: PDU) needs to be retransmitted, regardless of the amount of error, the physical layer should be correctly translated in the LTE network architecture. The code resource has a bit error, and the physical layer will not deliver it upwards. Therefore, regardless of the number of wrong bits, it is fed back to the sender, and the sender retransmits the redundancy of the error data.

RV is designed to implement incremental redundancy (English full name: incremental redundancy, English abbreviation: IR) HARQ transmission, that is, the redundant bits generated by the encoder are divided into several groups, each RV has an initial position (also known as: transmission start Point), the first transmission and each HARQ retransmission use different RVs respectively to realize the gradual accumulation of redundant bits and complete the IR HARQ operation. In the LTE research process, two RV numbers were considered: 4 and 8, after discussion, 4 RVs were determined. The definition of RV is related to the size of the soft buffer. The smaller of the sender-side loop buffer and the receiver-side soft buffer is selected, and the four RVs are evenly distributed within this range.

表示RV0发送时，发送的系统比特的偏移量，也即RV0发送的系统比特，是从第

个比特开始的，不是从第一个比特开始的。3 is a schematic diagram of RV for a certain transport block. A circle formed by a circumference of radius r1 and a circle of radius r2 is filled with two parts, one part is a systematic bit, and one part is a parity bit, because one is encoded. The information bit generates two parity bits, so the system bits: parity bits = 1:2. When the RV is RV0 (assumed to be the first transmission), more system bits are transmitted. When the receiving end fails to decode this time, the transmitting end is notified to perform the first retransmission (assumed to be RV1), which will transmit more. More new redundant bits. The last failed data receiving end is not discarded, but is further decoded in combination with the retransmitted new redundant bits. If it is still wrong, it will continue to inform the transmitting end of the second retransmission (assumed to be RV2), and transmit more new ones. Redundant bits; similarly, if there is still an error, continue to inform the sender of the third retransmission (assumed to be RV3), and transmit more new redundant bits. The more the number of retransmissions, the lower the code rate after the combination of the receivers, the more likely the decoding is correct, until the receiver decodes correctly, and the sender is notified to send new data.

Indicates the offset of the transmitted system bit when RV0 is transmitted, that is, the system bit transmitted by RV0.

The start of a bit does not start with the first bit.

As can be seen from FIG. 3, the existing HARQ mechanism fills the retransmitted data with the currently available physical resources during retransmission, which is characterized by a large amount of delay-insensitive service data, which causes excessive redundancy in transmission. Information also leads to waste of physical resources and reduces resource utilization.

As shown in FIG. 4, it is a schematic diagram of a system architecture based on HARQ transmission applicable to an embodiment of the present invention. The system based on HARQ transmission includes: a base station, and multiple UEs in a cell managed by the base station. The base station can separately communicate with each of the multiple UEs.

Based on the HARQ transmission-based system shown in FIG. 4, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for performing HARQ transmission, and the interaction between the base station and the UE1 is taken as an example. The UE1 is any UE in the cell managed by the base station. . As shown in FIG. 5, the method includes:

S501. The base station performs physical layer framing to obtain a physical layer frame, where the physical layer frame includes a redundancy version of each of the M codewords to be retransmitted and/or a codeword of the first new data.

The codeword of the first new data is obtained by the base station after performing error estimation coding (English full name: error estimating coding, English abbreviation: EEC), and then performing channel coding, and the code of the first new data is obtained. The word is used to fill the remaining resources of the currently available physical resources except for the resources occupied by the redundancy versions of the M codewords that need to be retransmitted, and M is a positive integer not less than 1.

S502. The base station modulates the physical layer frame.

S503. The base station sends the modulated physical layer frame to the UE1.

S504. The UE1 receives a physical layer frame sent by the base station.

S505. The UE1 demodulates the physical layer frame to obtain a demodulated physical layer frame.

S506. The UE1 performs data separation on the demodulated physical layer frame, and obtains a redundancy version of each of the M codewords to be retransmitted and/or a codeword of the first new transmission data.

S507a. If the physical layer frame includes a redundancy version of each of the M codewords that need to be retransmitted, the UE1 performs channel decoding on each of the M codewords that need to be retransmitted according to respective redundancy versions of the M codewords that need to be retransmitted. And the error position estimation check, and obtain the corresponding error position estimation check result.

S507b. If the physical layer frame includes the codeword of the first new transmission data, the UE1 performs channel decoding and error location estimation verification on the codeword of the first new transmission data, and obtains a corresponding error position estimation verification result.

S507c. If the physical layer frame includes a redundancy version of each of the M codewords that need to be retransmitted and a codeword of the first new data, the UE1 needs to be heavy according to the redundancy versions of the M codewords that need to be retransmitted. The transmitted codeword performs channel decoding and error position estimation check respectively, obtains a corresponding error position estimation check result, and UE1 performs channel decoding and error position estimation check on the codeword of the first new data, and obtains a corresponding correspondence. The error location estimates the verification result.

S508. The UE1 sends the error location estimation verification result to the base station.

Specifically, in step S501 of the embodiment of the present invention:

The physical layer frame includes a redundancy version of each of the M codewords to be retransmitted and/or a codeword of the first new data. Specifically, the physical layer frame includes M codewords that need to be retransmitted. a redundancy version; or, the physical layer frame includes a codeword of the first new data; or the physical layer frame includes a redundancy version of each of the M codewords to be retransmitted and the first new data. Codeword. The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the specific transmission scenario.

When the physical layer frame includes the codeword of the first new transmission data, performing error estimation coding on the first new transmission data is a key to the embodiment of the present invention. An example of providing an error estimation coding method is as follows: first, performing CRC check on the first new transmission data, adding the obtained CRC check code to the first new transmission data, and then performing error estimation coding, that is, according to The n bits are grouped, the first new data is divided into several groups, each group is subjected to parity check, and the obtained check code is added to the back of the packet to obtain the error estimation code. result.

It should be noted that only an error estimation coding method is provided herein by way of example. Of course, the error estimation coding method is not limited thereto, and is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Then channel coding is performed, and Turbo coding is used for channel coding in LTE. Turbo coding in LTE reuses two WCDMA/(English full name: high-speed packet access, English abbreviation: HSPA) 1/2 code rate, 8 The encoder of the state, so the total code rate is R=1/3. However, in LTE, the interleaver based on quadratic polynomial permutation (QPP) is used instead of the internal interleaver of the WCDMA/HSPA Turbo encoder used, which reduces the complexity of Turbo coding/decoding. degree. At the same time, in order to fully utilize the processing gain of the channel code when decoding at the receiving end, one bit level scrambling is performed in the bit block of the HARQ transmission, and the interference signal is randomly allocated after the descrambling code is received at the receiving end, thereby ensuring the true use of the channel code. Processing gain.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the existing low-density parity check code (English name: LDPC) channel coding mode may be selected for channel coding, and the present invention may be referred to the existing implementation manner. The embodiments are not described herein again.

Certainly, the embodiment of the present invention may also use other channel coding methods for channel coding, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

Specifically, in steps S507a, S507b, and S507c of the embodiment of the present invention:

The UE1 performs channel decoding and error position estimation check on the codeword of the first new transmission data and/or the codewords to be retransmitted respectively, and obtains the corresponding error position estimation verification result, and the error estimation verification result is obtained. Specifically, it can include the following three situations:

Case 1, the verification has no errors;

Case 2, the verification has an error, and the location of the error can be estimated;

In the third case, the verification has an error and the location of the error cannot be estimated.

Among them, for case three, this is related to the error estimation method, and the reasons for the inability to estimate the error location may include the following:

First, caused by a large amount of errors, for example, the EEC estimates that more than 25% of the packets are wrong. At this time, the low code rate is not good for encoding these packets, and the possibility of packet miss detection is greater; or,

Second, there is an even number of errors in a packet. At this time, the EEC estimates that there is no error, and the packet is considered correct, but an error is verified in the CRC check.

Of course, there may be other reasons for the error in the verification, but the error location cannot be estimated. The embodiments of the present invention are not illustrated here.

The method for performing the HARQ transmission according to the embodiment of the present invention, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the base station performs physical layer framing, the obtained physical layer frame includes the redundancy versions of the M codewords that need to be retransmitted and/or Or a codeword of the first new data, where the codeword of the first new data is used to fill the resources of the currently available physical resources except for the redundancy versions of the M codewords that need to be retransmitted. Remaining resources outside. That is to say, unlike in the prior art, the retransmission data occupies all the resources scheduled for the UE next time, that is, the data to be retransmitted needs to fill the currently available physical resources during retransmission, thereby causing excessive transmission. Redundant information. In the embodiment of the present invention, when the redundancy versions of the M codewords that need to be retransmitted are not filled with the currently available physical resources, the codewords of the newly transmitted data are used to fill the currently available physical resources, except for the M. The remaining resources other than the resources occupied by the respective redundant versions of the transmitted codewords will reduce the transmission of redundant resources, thereby reducing the waste of physical resources and improving the utilization of resources. Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the base station further performs error estimation coding on the first new transmission data, so that the UE may feedback the corresponding error position estimation verification result after performing error estimation verification, and may estimate the error when the error estimation verification is performed. In the location, only the new redundancy version of the error portion of the codeword can be retransmitted, which will greatly reduce the amount of retransmitted data, reduce the waste of physical resources, and enable more transmissions on the current physical resources. New data is being transmitted, which further improves the utilization of resources.

The following describes the method for expanding the HARQ transmission based on the MAC PDU transmission scenario. First, consider the first transmission scenario of the MAC PDU. As shown in FIG. 6, the method includes steps S601-S608:

S708. The UE1 sends an error location estimation verification result to the base station.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the data transmission of the jth time is incorrect, the physical layer frame includes a redundancy version of each of the M codewords to be retransmitted and a codeword of the newly transmitted data 2.

It should be noted that the “redundant version of the M codewords that need to be retransmitted” herein refers specifically to the data that needs to be retransmitted during the j+1th transmission of the MAC PDU.

For details, the description of the steps S701-S708 may refer to the related description in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, and details are not described herein again.

Optionally, when j is a positive integer not less than 1, if the jth data transmission is incorrect, the j+1th transmission scenario of the MAC PDU, as shown in FIG. 8, may further include steps S801-S808. :

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 9 , in the transmission scenario corresponding to the embodiment shown in FIG. 7 or FIG. 8 , before the physical layer framing is performed by the base station to obtain the physical layer frame (step S701 ), the method may further include:

The error location estimation verification result may specifically include three situations as described in the foregoing embodiment shown in FIG. 5, and details are not described herein again.

It should be noted that the “redundant version of the codewords that need to be retransmitted” herein refers specifically to the data that needs to be retransmitted during the jth transmission of the MAC PDU.

S710. If the error location estimation check result indicates that the check has an error, the base station determines, according to the error location estimation check result, the data amount of each of the redundancy versions of the M codewords that need to be retransmitted.

The performing, by the base station, the physical layer framing, and obtaining the physical layer frame (step S701) may specifically include:

S701a. The base station determines the available resources of the newly transmitted data 2 according to the data amount of the redundancy versions of the M codewords that need to be retransmitted, and then performs physical layer framing to obtain a physical layer frame.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the base station performs physical layer framing, the data amount of the current transmission, that is, the currently available physical resources, is first determined according to a signal to noise ratio (English full name: signal noise ratio, English abbreviation: SNR). And then performing MAC layer framing according to the currently available physical resources and the data amount according to the redundancy version of each of the M codewords that need to be retransmitted.

For example, if the current physical resource is 2M, the base station determines, according to the error estimation check result, that the data volume of each of the M versions of the codewords to be retransmitted is 1.3M, and the base station performs physical layer framing. The new data to be transmitted is allocated 2M-1.3M=0.7M physical resources. at this time, The physical layer frame contains the redundancy versions of the M codewords to be retransmitted and the codewords of the newly transmitted data.

Or, for example, if the current physical resource is 2M, the base station determines, according to the error estimation check result, that the data volume of each of the M versions of the codewords to be retransmitted is 2M, and the base station performs a physical layer framing The data is allocated with 2M-2M=0 physical resources, that is, the current transmission will transmit all retransmission data, and no new data will be transmitted. At this time, the physical layer frame contains only the redundancy versions of the M codewords that need to be retransmitted.

Or, for example, if the current physical resource is 2M, the base station determines, according to the error estimation check result, that the data volume of each of the M versions of the codewords that need to be retransmitted is 2.3M, and the base station performs the physical layer framing, because the data is retransmitted. If the amount is greater than the current physical resource, the current physical resource will be used to transmit the retransmitted data, and can only be used to transmit 2M retransmission data, and the remaining retransmission data will be transmitted in the next transmission process. Specifically limited. At this time, the physical layer frame contains only the redundancy versions of the M codewords that need to be retransmitted.

It should be noted that the embodiment shown in FIG. 9 is only exemplarily described based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 7. Of course, the above steps S709-S710 and step S701a may be further included in FIG. The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit this.

Optionally, in the foregoing embodiments, the base station performs the physical layer framing to obtain the physical layer frame, and specifically includes:

The base station performs physical layer framing according to the preset rule to obtain a physical layer frame, and the preset rule includes:

When the physical layer framing is performed, the redundancy versions of the codewords that need to be retransmitted are in the front, and the codewords of the newly transmitted data are in the back. If M>1, the M codewords that need to be retransmitted are used. The respective redundancy versions are sorted in the order in which the corresponding error data is transmitted.

Exemplarily, the data structure of the physical layer frame in the embodiment of the present invention may be as shown in FIG. Here, in FIG. 10, the redundancy version of the codeword 1, the redundancy version of the codeword 2, ..., the redundancy version of the codeword M are sorted in the chronological order of the previous transmission.

Preferably, the redundancy version of the mth codeword to be retransmitted in each of the M redundant versions of the codewords to be retransmitted includes at least the Km packets of the _mth codeword to be retransmitted a redundancy version of the packet, K _m is the m-th codeword the number of packets to be retransmitted, K _m is a positive integer not less than 2.

That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the error estimation check result is as shown in the above case 2 (ie, the check has an error and the error can be estimated), only the new redundancy of the error portion of the code word may be generated. The remaining versions are retransmitted, which greatly reduces the amount of data retransmitted, reduces the waste of physical resources, and enables more new data to be transmitted on the current physical resources, thereby improving resource utilization.

Of course, when the error estimation check result is as shown in the above case three (ie, the check has an error and the position where the error cannot be estimated), it is necessary to retransmit all the redundancy of the code word. The overall redundancy of a codeword specifically refers to the redundancy generated by the coding of the entire information bits of the codeword. However, since the current physical resources are limited, it is possible to transmit only a part of the retransmissions, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, whether the transmitted codeword is a retransmission codeword can be indicated as follows:

In the first mode, the base station sends a retransmission data identifier (English full name: RTDI) to the UE1, and the RTDI is used to indicate whether each transmitted codeword is a retransmission codeword.

Specifically, in this implementation manner, for each transmitted codeword, the base station may use RTDI to indicate whether the transmitted codeword is a retransmission codeword on the control plane, and then the base station sends the RTDI to the UE1 through the PDCCH. For example, RTDI equal to 0 may be used to indicate that the codeword is a new codeword, and RTDI is a non-zero real number to indicate that the codeword is a retransmitted codeword; of course, RTDI equal to 0 may be used to indicate that the codeword is retransmitted. The code word, which is a non-zero real number, indicates that the code word is a new code word, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 11, NACK indicates that the previously transmitted data has an error; ACK indicates that the previously transmitted data is correctly decoded. PDU 1 is the data transmitted for the first time. At this time, the control plane allocates RTDI=0, indicating that this is a new data, and the base station transmits PDU 1 with The body transmission details are as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 6, and are not described herein again. UE1 feeds back a NACK of a PDU 1 when it finds an error, indicating that PDU 1 has an error message. After receiving this feedback, UE1 performs physical layer framing according to the procedure of the embodiment shown in FIG. When the physical layer is framing, the error partial redundancy version RV1 (redundant version 1 of PDU 1) obtained according to the error position estimation check result is filled in before the PDU 2, and a new physical layer frame is formed and transmitted. At this time, the control plane allocates RTDI=1 to the redundant version of the retransmitted PDU 1 erroneous packet, indicating that this is a retransmission packet, RTDI=1 will always represent the erroneous packet retransmission of PDU 1, until the PDU 1 packet error is Correct, then assign RTDI=1 to other retransmission packets. In Figure 11, the same filled boxes represent information for the same codeword.

After the second transmission, it is assumed that the codeword transmitted for the first time is still not translated, and a new error occurs in the codeword transmitted for the second time. At this time, UE1 feeds back the two errors at the same time, that is, PDU 1NACK, PDU 2NACK, and after receiving the feedback, the base station performs physical layer framing according to the process of the embodiment shown in FIG. 9. When the physical layer framing is performed, the new redundancy version RV2 of the error portion of the first transmitted codeword and the redundancy version RV1 of the error portion of the second transmitted codeword are filled in before the PDU 3 to form a new one. The physical layer frame is sent. The transmission time order of the new redundancy version RV2 of the error portion of the first transmitted codeword and the redundancy version RV1 of the error portion of the second transmitted codeword are sorted according to the time sequence of the previous codeword transmission. That is, the error part of the first transmitted code word is the new redundancy version RV2, and the redundancy version RV1 of the error part of the second transmission code word is after. Among them, RTDI=1 indicates that RV2 is still the retransmission part of PDU 1, and RTDI=2 indicates that RV1 is the retransmission data of PDU 2.

After the third data transmission, it is assumed that UE1 can correctly decode the previous PDU 1 and PDU 2 data error parts, but the data part of PDU 3 has an error. At this time, UE1 feeds back PDU 1ACK, PDU 2ACK, PDU 3NACK, indicating PDU. The data of 1 and PDU 2 have been correctly decoded, no need to retransmit again, PDU 3 has an error and needs to be retransmitted, so RTDI=1 is assigned to the retransmission packet of PDU3, and RTDI=0 is assigned to PDU 4, indicating This is a new data.

The subsequent process is deduced by analogy and will not be described in detail here.

In the second mode, the physical layer frame sent by the base station to the UE1 includes a header header, and the RTDI is included in the header, and the RTDI is used to indicate whether each transmitted codeword is a retransmission codeword.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, in the implementation manner, when performing physical layer framing, a header may be added in front of the physical layer frame according to the group of each transmitted codeword, and the RTDI is allocated in the header. Space, that is, the part of RTDI is placed on the user side, not on the control side. Since the header part of the data is very important, and the data part has been channel-encoded, it can be coded separately with a low bit rate to ensure correct transmission of the header part (this scheme uses 1/4 of the code rate).

As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the codeword may be indicated as a new codeword by using RTDI equal to 0, and the codeword may be a retransmitted codeword by using a real number whose RTDI is non-zero; of course, RTDI is equal to 0. The codeword is instructed to be a retransmitted codeword, and the real number indicating that the codeword is non-zero is a new codeword, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 13, NACK indicates that the previously transmitted data has an error; ACK indicates that the previously transmitted data is correctly decoded. PDU 1 is the data transmitted for the first time. When the physical layer is framing, a header is added in front of the data, and RTDI=0 is allocated in the header, indicating that this is a new data, and the base station transmits the PDU 1 with specific transmission details. The embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is not described here. UE1 feeds back a NACK of a PDU 1 when it finds an error, indicating that PDU 1 has an error message. After receiving this feedback, UE1 performs physical layer framing according to the procedure of the embodiment shown in FIG. When the physical layer is framing, the error partial redundancy version RV1 (redundant version 1 of PDU 1) obtained according to the error position estimation check result is filled in before the PDU 2 to form a new physical layer frame, and then in the new The physical frame is added to the Header, where RTDI=1 is assigned to the redundant version of the retransmitted PDU 1 erroneous packet, indicating that this is a retransmission packet, and RTDI=1 will always retransmit the erroneous packet representing PDU 1 until PDU 1 is grouped. The error is corrected and RTDI=1 is assigned to the other retransmission packets. In Figure 13, the equally filled boxes represent information for the same codeword.

After the second transmission, it is assumed that the codeword transmitted for the first time is still not translated, and a new error occurs in the codeword transmitted for the second time. At this time, UE1 feeds back the two errors at the same time, that is, PDU 1 NACK, PDU 2 NACK, and after receiving the feedback, the base station performs physical layer framing according to the process of the embodiment shown in FIG. 9 . When the physical layer framing is performed, the new redundancy version RV2 of the error portion of the first transmitted codeword and the redundancy version RV1 of the error portion of the second transmitted codeword are filled in before the PDU 3 to form a new one. The physical layer frame is sent. The transmission time order of the new redundancy version RV2 of the error portion of the first transmitted codeword and the redundancy version RV1 of the error portion of the second transmitted codeword are sorted according to the time sequence of the previous codeword transmission. That is, the error part of the first transmitted code word is the new redundancy version RV2, and the redundancy version RV1 of the error part of the second transmission code word is after. In the Header RTDI=1 indicates that RV2 is still a retransmission part of PDU 1; in Header RTDI=2 indicates that RV1 is the retransmission data of PDU 2.

After the third data transmission, it is assumed that UE1 can correctly decode the previous PDU 1 and PDU 2 data error parts, but the data part of PDU 3 has an error. At this time, UE1 feeds back PDU 1 ACK, PDU 2 ACK, PDU 3 NACK. , indicating that the data of PDU 1 and PDU 2 has been correctly decoded, does not need to be retransmitted again, PDU 3 has an error and needs to be retransmitted, so RTDI=1 is assigned to the retransmission packet of PDU3 in the Header added by the physical layer. At the same time, PDU 4 is assigned RTDI=0, indicating that this is a new data.

The subsequent process is deduced by analogy and will not be described in detail here.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the RTDI of the HARQ is set to 3 bits, that is, the redundancy version of the error part of the 7 code words can be retransmitted in at most one retransmission, and the maximum number of segments accumulated in each transmission is 7 segments. Retransmit the data.

The experiment shows that, based on the HARQ transmission based method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, when the first transmission success rate is 84%, the probability of a retransmission success is 99.3%. This is a very high retransmission success rate. At the same time, the experiment shows that when retransmitting, there is a maximum of 4 pieces of retransmission data in one transmission, and the average number of times is slightly larger than 1.

The comparison results between the existing HARQ mechanism in LTE and the technical solution of the present invention are given below. as follows:

FIG. 14 is a comparison diagram of retransmission times of the HARQ mechanism (abbreviated as the original HARQ scheme in FIG. 14) and the technical solution of the present invention (referred to as the new HARQ scheme in FIG. 14) in the existing LTE. It is assumed that the retransmission of the two schemes is 100-bit redundancy. As can be seen from FIG. 14, the technical solution of the present invention can effectively control the increase of the number of retransmissions. Since the technical solution of the present invention effectively reduces the amount of data retransmitted in the HARQ mechanism, it can effectively save physical resources and improve resource utilization.

Considering the transmission of the video service, a simulation experiment of a 149-frame video stream is performed, and the results are shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing the number of decoded frames and the transmission symbol, and FIG. 16 is a peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and a transmission symbol performance map. The original schemes in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 correspond to the existing HARQ mechanism in the LTE, and the enhancement scheme 0 corresponds to the case where the redundant error location is not considered in the technical solution of the present invention, and all the redundancy is retransmitted; In the technical solution of the present invention, the redundant error location is considered, and only the case of erroneous packet redundancy can be transmitted.

As can be seen from Figure 15, the entire video is transmitted. The original scheme uses 2.13*10^6 16QAM symbols to decode all video frames, while the enhanced scheme 1 uses 1.75*10^6 16 (English full name). :quadrature amplitude modulation, English abbreviation: QAM) symbol, you can translate all video frames, saving 17.8% of resources.

In FIG. 16, although x=1.2e+06, the PSNR value of the enhancement scheme 1 is only 35, and the original scheme can reach 42, but it can be seen in conjunction with FIG. 15 that when x=1.2e+06, the original scheme Only 80 frames are translated, and enhancement 1 can be decoded 149 frames. In addition, when x=1.702e+06, the PSNR value of the original scheme can be considered to be equivalent to the PSNR value of the enhancement scheme 1, however, as can be seen from FIG. 15, when x=1.702e+06, the enhancement scheme 1 can All 149 frames were translated, while the original scheme only translated 120 frames. It can be seen that under the condition of poor channel quality, the enhanced scheme 1 can see all the videos, and the original scheme may only see part of the video, which reduces the user experience.

In addition, as can be seen from FIG. 16, the enhancement scheme 1 is in the transmission phase with respect to the enhancement scheme 0. When the same number of symbols, the performance can be improved.

In summary, the method for the HARQ transmission based on the embodiment of the present invention, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the base station performs physical layer framing, the obtained physical layer frame includes redundancy of M codewords that need to be retransmitted. a codeword of the version and/or the first new data, wherein the codeword of the first new data is used to fill a redundancy version of each of the currently available physical resources except the M codewords that need to be retransmitted The remaining resources beyond the resources. That is to say, unlike in the prior art, the retransmission data occupies all the resources scheduled for the UE next time, that is, the data to be retransmitted needs to fill the currently available physical resources during retransmission, thereby causing excessive transmission. Redundant information. In the embodiment of the present invention, when the redundancy versions of the M codewords that need to be retransmitted are not filled with the currently available physical resources, the codewords of the newly transmitted data are used to fill the currently available physical resources, except for the M. The remaining resources other than the resources occupied by the respective redundant versions of the transmitted codewords will reduce the transmission of redundant resources, thereby reducing the waste of physical resources and improving the utilization of resources. Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the base station further performs error estimation coding on the first new transmission data, so that the UE may feedback the corresponding error position estimation verification result after performing error estimation verification, and may estimate the error when the error estimation verification is performed. In the location, only the new redundancy version of the error portion of the codeword can be retransmitted, which will greatly reduce the amount of retransmitted data, reduce the waste of physical resources, and enable more transmissions on the current physical resources. New data is being transmitted, which further improves the utilization of resources.
