Background technology
Space division multiplexing mainly is meant the technology that realizes resource multiplex through the space isolation between the user; Be that the base station is that the user who is in the different separate space distributes identical running time-frequency resource; Thereby improve the utilance of resource, significantly improve the throughput and the user's data transmission rate of system.
The space division multiplexing technology can be widely used in the indoor and outdoors scene, both can be used to promote capacity, message transmission rate and the system spectrum utilance of sub-district, also can be used to improve the covering performance of special screne.The multiplexing identical resource of user that for example can make a plurality of floors in the indoor space division multiplexing of carrying out floor gap, thus power system capacity significantly improved, and switch the sub-district of having reduced simultaneously when the user crosses over floor.Again such as, outdoor, space division multiplexing is applied to the covering of high-speed railway, can reduce the user since in the short time that high-speed mobile causes frequent sub-district switch, effectively improved system's covering performance.
Realize that space division multiplexing just requires the base station can be the user resource allocation position flexibly; Thereby can the pairing user be distributed on the identical running time-frequency resource; And can find out from existing LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) and LTE-A (Long Term Evolution-Advanced, long-term evolution upgrading) standard code; Different with other physical channels; The resource location of PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control channel, Physical Downlink Control Channel) is not through signaling UE's (User Equipment, subscriber equipment); But according to RNTI (the Radio Network Temporary Identifier of each UE; Radio Network Temporary Identifier) confirm the PDCCH search volume of UE, UE PDCCH to various DCI (Downlink Control Information, Downlink Control Information) form on fixing search volume carries out blind check.The control area is to be made up of the set of CCE (Control Channel Element, control channel unit), the numbering of CCE from 0 to N
CCE, k-1, N wherein
CCE, kIt is the number of the total CCE in the control area in subframe k.
Defining of the PDCCH candidate collection that need detect according to the search volume; Be that set through a PDCCH candidate provides with the definition of the search volume
of certain polymerization grade L wherein, the CCEs of the PDCCH candidate channel m in search volume
provides through following formula:
I=0 wherein ..., L-1, and m=0 ..., M
(L)-1, M
(L)It is the number that in given search volume, needs the PDCCH of detection.UE need detect the polymerization size in the common search space be every kind of PDCCH of L=4 or L=8, need in the search volume that UE assigns, detect the polymerization size simultaneously and be every kind of PDCCH of 1,2,4 or 8.The search volume that common search space and UE assign can be overlapping.For the common search space, the polymerization grade is chosen as L=4 and L=8, its Y

The PDCCH resource allocation that is used to transmit the sub-district common control information is in the common search space, and the PDCCH resource that is used for the transmission user dedicated control information then is distributed in user's dedicated search space.Because each user's dedicated search space is overlapping to some extent; When this user's dedicated search space has been taken and common search space when also having vacant resource; The PDCCH that transmits this user's dedicated control information also can be distributed on the common search space, is 4 or 8 situation but this mode only is applicable to the polymerization grade of PDCCH.
Can find out the polymerization grade decision of common search space by the user, all users' common search locus is identical, can be by user's home space information decision; The position, search volume that UE assigns is determined by user's RNTI and polymerization grade jointly, and user's RNTI distributes when the user initially inserts, and can in scheduling process, not change, and therefore plans for realizing that empty branch need distribute user's RNTI.
Yet the deficiency of prior art is: the allocative decision of user RNTI when not having space division multiplexing at present.
