Abstract
Description
ところで、PDSCHにおける無線リソース割り当ては、通常、物理下りリンク制御チャネル(PDCCH)を介した動的スケジューリングである。具体的には、サブフレーム内のPDSCHの割り当てごとに、当該サブフレーム内のPDCCHを介してユーザ端末にスケジューリング情報が送信される。
以下において、3GPP規格に基づく移動通信システムであるLTEシステムに本出願の内容を適用する場合の実施形態を説明する。
先ず、LTEシステムのシステム構成について説明する。図1は、LTEシステムの構成図である。
図4は、UE100(ユーザ端末)の構成を示すブロック図である。図4に示すように、UE100は、受信部110、送信部120、及び制御部130を備える。
図5は、eNB200(基地局)のブロック図である。図5に示すように、eNB200は、送信部210、受信部220、制御部230、及びバックホール通信部240を備える。
以下において、単一セルPTM伝送(SCPTM)について説明する。SCPTMは、無線リソースの利用効率を高めつつマルチキャスト伝送を実現する。図6は、第1実施形態に係るSCPTM関連動作を説明するための図である。
PDSCHにおける無線リソース割り当ては、通常、PDCCHを介した動的スケジューリングである。具体的には、サブフレーム内のPDSCHの割り当てごとに、当該サブフレーム内のPDCCHを介してUE100にスケジューリング情報が送信される。
以下において、第1実施形態に係るeNB200の動作について説明する。第1実施形態において、eNB200は、複数のUE100を含むUEグループが在圏するセルを管理する。
以下において、第1実施形態に係るUE100の動作について説明する。第1実施形態において、UE100は、複数のUE100を含むUEグループに属する。
以下において、第1実施形態に係る動作シーケンスの一例について説明する。図7は、第1実施形態に係る動作シーケンスの一例を示す図である。本シーケンスにおいて、UE100-1を含む複数のUE100がSCPTMによるグループ通信を開始し、UE100-2がグループ通信に途中参加する場合を想定する。
上述したように、PDSCHを介したマルチキャスト伝送(すなわち、SCPTM)にSPSを適用することにより、効率的なマルチキャスト伝送を実現することができる。
第2実施形態について、第1実施形態との相違点を主として説明する。
以下において、第2実施形態に係るeNB200の動作について説明する。
以下において、第2実施形態に係るUE100の動作について説明する。
以下において、第2実施形態に係る動作シーケンスの一例について説明する。図8は、第2実施形態に係る動作シーケンスの一例を示す図である。本シーケンスにおいて、UE100-1を含む複数のUE100がSCPTMによるグループ通信を開始し、UE100-2がグループ通信に途中参加する場合を想定する。
上述したように、eNB200は、マルチキャストデータの送信を開始した後においてメッセージを送信する場合、SPSが有効化されていることを示す有効化通知情報を当該メッセージに含める。これにより、当該メッセージを受信した途中参加UE100は、SPSを有効化してマルチキャストデータを受信することができる。
上述した第1実施形態及び第2実施形態は、別個独立して実施される場合に限定されない。第1実施形態及び第2実施形態を組み合わせて実施してもよい。
