- One embodiment of the invention is implemented in a wireless telecommunications system that is designed in accordance with a WCDMA (wideband code division multiple access) standard. It will therefore be helpful to describe the basic structure and operation of such a system in order to aid in the understanding of the invention. It should be noted that, while the following description focuses primarily upon a system that follows this standard, alternative embodiments may be implemented in systems that follow other standards as well.
- WCDMA wideband code division multiple access
- System 100 includes a base station controller 110, a base station 120 that is coupled to base station controller 110 through a backhaul network 130, and a mobile station 140.
- System 100 may include additional base stations and mobile stations which, for purposes of clarity, are not shown in the figure.
- base station controller 110 may be referred to as a radio network controller (RNC)
- base station 120 may be referred to as a "Node-B”
- mobile station 140 may be referred to as user equipment (UE).
- RNC radio network controller
- UE user equipment
- references to the different components of the systems should be interpreted broadly, and references to particular components using terminology applicable to a particular type of system should not be construed to imply that the embodiments of the invention are limited to that particular type of system.
- base station 120 and mobile station 140 may vary significantly, each serves as a wireless transceiver for communicating over the forward and reverse links.
- Base station 120 and mobile station 140 therefore have the same general structure. This structure is illustrated in FIGURE 2.
- FIGURE 2 a functional block diagram illustrating the basic structural components of a wireless transceiver system in accordance with one embodiment is shown.
- the system comprises a transmit subsystem 222 and a receive subsystem 224, each of which is coupled to an antenna 226.
- Transmit subsystem 222 and receive subsystem 224 may be collectively referred to as a transceiver subsystem.
- Transmit subsystem 222 and receive subsystem 224 access the forward and/or reverse link through antenna 226.
- Transmit subsystem 222 and receive subsystem 224 are also coupled to processor 228, which is configured to control transmit and receive subsystems 222 and 224.
- Memory 230 is coupled to processor 228 to provide working space and local storage for the processor. Processor 228 and memory 230 may be collectively referred to as a processing subsystem.
- a data source 232 is coupled to processor 228 to provide data for transmission by the system. Data source 232 may, for example, comprise a microphone or an input from a network device. The data is processed by processor 228 and then forwarded to transmit subsystem 222, which transmits the data via antenna 226. Data received by receive subsystem 224 through antenna 226 is forwarded to processor 228 for processing and then to data output 234 for presentation to a user. Data output 234 may comprise such devices as a speaker, a visual display, or an output to a network device.
- processor 228, which may be a general-purpose microprocessor, a digital signal processor (DSP) or a special-purpose processor, may perform some or all of the functions of other components of the transceiver, or any other processing required by the transceiver.
- DSP digital signal processor
- Mobile station 140 typically is not stationary (although, in some instances, it may be.) Mobile station 140 is instead likely to move with respect to base station 120. The changing position of mobile station 140 typically causes the channel conditions for the wireless link between mobile station 140 and base station 120 to vary. The channel conditions may also be affected by other factors, such as atmospheric conditions, movement of other objects between mobile station 140 and base station 120, interference from other transmitters, and so on.
- the data rate and corresponding data format for one or more channels may, in some embodiments, be referred to as a transport format (TF) or transport format combination (TFC).
- TF transport format
- TFC transport format combination
- individual transport formats as well as transport format combinations may be referred to below simply as data rates.
- the mobile station of the wireless telecommunications system is configured to transmit information to the base station on three channels.
- the first of these channels is a dedicated data channel.
- This data channel may carry various types of data, including such high priority data as voice data, streaming video or the like, and lower priority data, the delivery of which is not delay-sensitive.
- This dedicated data channel may be referred to herein as the primary data channel.
- the second of the channels is a control channel.
- the control channel carries control information that is needed by the base station in order to properly decode the data transmitted on the primary data channel.
- This control information may, for example, include pilot channel information, power control information and data rate information. These different types of information may also be characterized as different logical channels within the physical control channel.
- the primary data channel and the control channel are found in conventional WCDMA systems. Typically, for each frame that is transmitted on the primary data channel, there is a corresponding frame that is transmitted on the control channel. The information contained in the frame of the control channel is received by the base station, decoded, and then used to decode the information in the data channel frame.
- the control channel frame may be transmitted synchronously with the corresponding data channel frame, or it may be transmitted prior to transmission of the corresponding data channel frame.
- a third channel (an enhanced dedicated data channel) is transmitted from the mobile station to the base station.
- the enhanced data channel is used in this embodiment to transmit data for high-speed, non-delay-sensitive services.
- other types of data may be transmitted. While it is necessary to transmit control information for the enhanced data channel to the base station so that the base station can decode the data received via the enhanced data channel, this control information is not transmitted in a control channel that is separate from the control channel described above. Instead, the control information for the enhanced data channel is combined with the control information for the primary data channel, and the combined control information is transmitted from the mobile station to the base station on the one control channel. The manner in which this is accomplished is described in detail below.
- FIGURE 3 shows two frames, 300 and 310. As shown in this figure, each frame spans ten milliseconds. Each frame is further broken down into 15 slots.
- the control channel is used in this embodiment to transmit control information including pilot data, power control data and data rate information.
- FIGURE 4 depicts a single slot 400. Contained within slot 400 is pilot data 410, power control data 420 and data rate information 430. Slot 400 consists of ten data bits. Six of these ten bits are used to convey pilot data 410, while two bits are used as power control data 420 and two bits are used for data rate information 430. The data rate information is shown in the figure as the TFCI, or transport format combination indicator.
- the allocation of the bits of the slot as shown in FIGURE 4 is referred to as the slot format. The same slot format is conventionally used for every slot.
- TFCI information 430 comprises only two bits of the slot format
- 30 bits are available to communicate the TFCI value for each frame because the selected transport formats used by the mobile station to transmit data on the primary and enhanced data channels are updated on a frame by frame basis.
- the transport format remains unchanged during the frame.
- all of the 30 TFCI bits in the frame are available to communicate the selected TFCI value.
- the 30 bits of TFCI information transmitted in a frame are encoded data, rather than raw TFCI data. Because the encoding process used in a wireless communication system such as the system of the present embodiment typically increases the number of bits of data, less than 30 bits of raw transport format information are communicated. The encoding (and the corresponding increased number of bits) is intended to increase the reliability with which the data is communicated.
- FIGURE 5 a flow diagram illustrating the process through which data rate information is encoded in accordance with one embodiment is shown.
- data rate information (TFCI) is encoded (block 510.)
- the encoder implements a 1/3 encoding scheme.
- the encoding consists of covering the original data rate information with spreading codes in a manner which is well known to persons of skill in the field of WCDMA communications.
- the encoding of the original data rate information which consists of ten data bits, results in 32 bits of encoded rate information data.
- the rate matching function may simply consist of "puncturing" the encoded data, or dropping the last two bits.
- 30 bits of encoded data rate information are generated from the ten bits of the original data rate information.
- the 30 bits of encoded data rate information can then be transmitted from the mobile station to the base station by transmitting the first two bits in the first slot of the frame, the next two bits in the second slot of the frame, and so on, until all 30 bits have been transmitted.
- the bits that are not used to identify the data rate for the primary data channel are instead used to identify the data rate of the enhanced data channel.
- the bits that are not used to identify the data rate for the primary data channel are instead used to identify the data rate of the enhanced data channel.
- six of the ten bits are available for use in identifying the data rate of the enhanced data channel. These six bits can serve to identify which data rate is selected from among 64 (2 ) possible rates.
- FIGURE 6 One embodiment of this alternating slot format is illustrated in FIGURE 6.
- a first slot 610 includes six bits of pilot data, one bit of power control data and three bits of TFCI data.
- a second slot 620 includes five bits of pilot data, two bits of power control data and three bits of TFCI data.
- a third slot 630 is identical to slot 610 and includes six bits of pilot data, one bit of power control data and three bits of TFCI data. Thus, slot 630 therefore begins repeating the pattern of slots 610 and 620. This pattern is continued through slots 640-650 and the remainder of the slots in the frame. '
- each frame includes fifteen slots, the two-slot pattern of FIGURE 6 cannot be repeated an integer number of times.
- the number of slots identical to slot 610 will not be the same as the number of slots identical to slot 620.
- the slots of each frame are identical. That is, the number of slots identical to slot 610 and the number of slots identical to slot 620 will be the same in each frame.
- succeeding frames may not be identical, but may instead continue the repeating pattern of slots 610 and 620.
- one frame would have eight slots identical to slot 610 and seven slots identical to slot 620, while the next frame would have seven slots identical to slot 610 and eight slots identical to slot 620.
- a first slot 710 in this embodiment includes six bits of pilot data, one bit of power control data and three bits of TFCI data.
- a second slot 720 includes five bits of pilot data, two bits of power control data and three bits of TFCI data.
- a third slot 730 includes six bits of pilot data, two bits of power control data and two bits of TFCI data. This pattern is repeated beginning with fourth and fifth slots 740 and 750.
- the channel estimation performance of the system is improved with respect to the slot formats of FIGURE 6 because, instead of every other slot being reduced by one bit, only every third slot has a reduced number of bits. More pilot data is therefore communicated to the base station. The same is true for the power control performance of the system. The number of power control bits is reduced in every third slot instead of every second slot, so more power control data is communicated to the base station. The performance of the system is therefore improved in regard to both channel estimation and power control.
- the data rate information that is transmitted in the confrol frames identifies the data rates for two different data channels.
- the mobile station selects appropriate data rates for the two data channels, combines data rate indicators corresponding to these data rates, and then processes the combined data and transmits the data.
- the control data is transmitted using multiple slot formats. When the frame of control data is received by the base station, the information in the multiple slot formats is decoded and the data rate information corresponding to each of the primary and enhanced data channels is extracted and used in the decoding of the corresponding data channels.
- FIGURE 8 is a flow diagram illustrating the process of communicating control information for two data channels over a single control channel using multiple slot formats.
- the method depicted in the figure includes a first portion on the left side of the figure and a second portion on the right side of the figure.
- the first portion corresponds generally to the portion of the method that is performed by a mobile station.
- the second portion corresponds generally to the portion of the method that is performed by a base station. It should be noted that, in addition to the entire method depicted in the figure, the first and second portions of the method may, in themselves, be considered alternative embodiments.
- the method begins with selection of data rate information for the first and second data channels (block 805.)
- the data rate selection for each of the data channels may be performed in any suitable manner, such as those methods that are known in the wireless telecommunications art.
- a corresponding data rate indicator is also selected.
- the selected rate can be represented by an n-bit value.
- the data rate information (e.g., data rate indicators) for the two data channels is then combined (block 810.)
- the two data rate indicators are combined simply by appending one to the other.
- the data rate indicator for the first data channel consists of a nine-bit value
- the data rate indicator for the second data channel consists of a six-bit value
- the first nine of fifteen data rate bits may contain the first data rate indicator
- the last six of the data rate bits may contain the second data rate indicator.
- the data rate indicators for the two data channels may be combined (multiplexed) in a different manner.
- the combined information is encoded (block 815.)
- the fifteen bits of combined data rate information are encoded in the same manner that the data rate information for the primary data channel is conventionally encoded.
- the encoding consists of using a 1/3 encoding scheme and then rate matching (e.g., puncturing) the data to generate the number of bits (e.g., 45) that can be transmitted in the control frame.
- each slot contains three bits of data rate information and varying numbers of pilot and power control data.
- the variably formatted data is then transmitted in a frame on the confrol channel (block 825,) with the first three bits of the encoded data rate information being transmitted in slot 0, the next three bits transmitted in slot 1, and so on.
- the frame of control data is transmitted by the mobile station, it is communicated to and received by the base station via the dedicated control channel (block 830.)
- the slot format of the control information varies from one slot to another, the slot formats that are used are known to the base station, either because this information is predetermined or because the information is communicated through higher layer signaling.
- the received frame of control information is then decoded (block 835.) In one embodiment, the decoding of the confrol information is performed in the same manner as if only control data for one data channel were included, fri other embodiments, the decoding of the control information maybe performed in other ways.
- the fifteen bits of control information are available to the base station.
- the base station therefore extracts the data rate information for each of the first and second data channels (block 840.) If the mobile station combined to the data rate indicators by simply appending one to the other, the base station extracts the indicators by parsing the bits into the respective data rate indicators for the first and second data channels. If the mobile station multiplexed the data rate indicators in a more complex manner, a corresponding demultiplexing method is used by the base station to extract the indicators.
- the base station uses these data rate indicators to determine the data rates at which the first and second data channels are transmitted and then the codes the first data channel and the second data channel using the respective data rate information (blocks 845, 850.)
- the fiuictionality described above may be implemented in the mobile stations and base stations described above by providing suitable programs that are executed in the respective processing subsystems of these devices.
- These program instructions are typically embodied in a storage medium that is readable by the respective processing subsystems.
- Exemplary storage media may include RAM memory, flash memory, ROM memory, EPROM memory, EEPROM memory, registers, hard disk, a removable disk, a CD-ROM, or any other form of storage media known in the art.
- Such a storage medium embodying program instructions for implementing the functionality described above comprises an alternative embodiment of the invention.
- DSP digital signal processor
- ASIC application specific integrated circuit
- FPGA field programmable gate array
- a general purpose processor may be a microprocessor, but in the alternative, the processor may be any conventional processor, controller, microcontroller, or state machine.
- a processor may also be implemented as a combination of computing devices, e.g., a combination of a DSP and a microprocessor, a plurality of microprocessors, one or more microprocessors in conjunction with a DSP core, or any other such configuration.
