Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to code-multiplexed control channels, and more particularly to a method and apparatus in a wireless system for code-multiplexing multiple control signals onto a shared control channel using time-varying bit-level spreading sequences with a common OVSF (orthogonal variable spreading factor) channelization code.
- OVSF orthogonal variable spreading factor
- a base station In wireless systems, such as Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) systems or CDMA2000 systems, a base station encodes and transmits data frames or packets on a downlink channel to a user equipment (UE) terminal, i.e., a mobile station.
- the mobile station transmits encoded data frames or packets to the base station on an uplink channel.
- the base station decodes the received data frames or packets to recover the encoded block of information transmitted by the mobile station.
- WCDMA and CDMA2000 evolve, enhancing uplink dedicated transport channels, e.g., those used to reduce air-interface delays, to improve system capacity, and to increase cell coverage of high bit-rate services, becomes increasingly important.
- Hybrid Auto- Retransmission Request which provides fast retransmissions and soft combining on the uplink transport channels
- FRC Fast Rate Control
- E-DCHs Enhanced Dedicated Channels
- the base station uses E-DCH related HARQ Indicator Channels (E-HICHs) on the downlink channel to send an acknowledgement (ACK) or non-acknowledgement (NACK) signal to the mobile station in every transmission time interval (TTI).
- E-HICHs E-DCH related HARQ Indicator Channels
- ACK acknowledgement
- NACK non-acknowledgement
- TTI transmission time interval
- FRC operations the base station uses E-DCH related Relative Grant
- E-RGCHs E-RGCHs
- FRC allows the base station to fine-tune the cell-wide uplink interference (uplink noise rise) to meet target cell-wide quality of service in terms of delays, throughput, and/or call blockage.
- the serving base station sends a rate control signal on the downlink channel in every TTI to command the mobile station to increase or decrease the uplink transmission data rate.
- the rate control signal may contain any number of bits, and typically comprises either a 1-bit binary or ternary (up, down, or hold) signal.
- Bit-level spreading sequences ' spread the rate control signals and/or the ack/nack signals across a predetermined time interval. The spread signals achieve orthogonality, and therefore achieve a desired performance, when the signal is integrated over an entire slot. As such, the channel must stay constant over the entire slot in order for orthogonality to be maintained.
- the orthogonality of the spread signals holds at the receiver when the fading channel is non-dispersive and constant within a slot.
- high Doppler channels may compromise the orthogonality.
- additional factors such as a near-far problem, may also aggravate the problems caused by a lack of orthogonality.
- the near-far problem arises when the base station simultaneously transmits to a mobile station near the base station at a significantly lower transmit power than used to transmit to a mobile station far away from the base station. When orthogonality is not maintained, this near-far problem may cause significant interference at the near mobile station's receiver.
- the present invention comprises a method and apparatus for code multiplexing one or more control signals onto a shared control channel.
- each slot of a predetermined time interval associated with a particular mobile station is assigned a unique bit-level spreading sequence.
- the bit-level spreading sequence varies from slot to slot according to a predefined sequence-hopping pattern.
- a different bit-level spreading sequence spreads a control signal in each slot of the predetermined time interval.
- the base station combines the spread control signals from multiple mobile stations and transmits the combined signal using a common channelization code.
- the bit-level spreading of the control signals enables the mobile stations to separate the control signal intended for it from the control signals intended for other mobile stations.
- the present invention generates the set of sequence-hopping patterns according to one or more exemplary methods described further herein.
- a cyclic process generates the set of sequence-hopping patterns.
- a pseudo-random process generates the set of sequence-hopping patterns.
- an intelligent sequence assignment process generates the set of sequence-hopping patterns.

- Figure 12 illustrates a block diagram of one exemplary CDM system that IQ-multiplexes the E-HICH and E-RGCH control signals onto the same bit-level Hadamard sequence.
- Figure 13 illustrates a block diagram of an exemplary CDM system that IQ multiplexes E-HICH and E-RGCH control signals with bit-level spreading sequences referenced by selected sequence-hopping patterns according to the present invention.
- the following description uses the term "OVSF channelization code” for the spreading sequence that spreads an input signal to the WCDMA chip rate (3.84 Mcps). Further, the following description uses the term “Hadamard sequence” or “bit-level spreading sequence” or “bit-level Hadamard sequence” interchangeably to represent the spreading sequence applied to the control signal at the bit-rate.
- the bit rate for example, is equal to the chip rate divided by the spreading factor for BPSK and is equal to two times the chip rate divided by the spreading factor for QPSK.
- an OVSF channelization code having a spreading tactor of 128 gives rise to 20 symbols in a WC DMA-slot. The resulting bit-level spreading sequence is thus based on Hadamard sequences of length 20.
- a mobile station may transmit in the uplink without scheduling grant as long as the transmission data-rate is not exceedingly high. This prevents undesirable scheduling delays.
- many mobile stations may simultaneously transmit on the uplink using the HARQ-protocol.
- the base station needs to provide many E-HICH and E-RGCH signals per TTI of the downlink.
- CDM code-division multiplexed
- FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary set ⁇ c o ...c 19 ⁇ of length-20 Hadamard spreading sequences.
- the set of Hadamard sequences shown in Figure 1 are for illustrative purposes only and are not limiting. Other possible sets that related to this exemplary set may be achieved by permuting the columns or rows.
- the aforementioned approach for a CDM architecture may in principle be applied to any low-rate (e.g. 1 or more bits per TTI) downlink control signalling.
- the same OVSF channelization code may code division multiplex both the E-HICH and the E-RGCH, as shown in the exemplary CDM system of Figure 2.
- separate OVSF channelization codes may code-division multiplex the E-HICH and the E-RGCH.
- one OVSF channelization code spreads the E-HICH and one OVSF-code spreads the E-RGCH, as shown in the exemplary CDM system of Figure 3.
- the spread ACK/NACK and rate control signals for the E-HICH and E-RGCH are scaled by ⁇ and ⁇ , respectively, before being combined as shown in Figures 2 and 3. This amplitude scaling is used to guarantee sufficient performance for each signalling channel.
- the aforementioned concept for Enhanced Uplink implies that the orthogonality of the spread signals holds at the receiver if the fading channel is non-dispersive and constant within a slot.
- the orthogonality With multi-path propagation, the orthogonality is very much intact as long as the channel is constant within a slot due to the large processing gain against the inter ⁇ chip interference.
- high Doppler channels in which multi-path fading varies noticeably during a slot interval, may severely compromise the orthogonality. In some situations, loss of orthogonality may result in severe performance penalty. Further, additional factors associated with the wireless transmissions may aggravate the performance penalty problem.
- the near-far problem, illustrated in Figure 4 represents one aggravating factor.
- near-far problem refers to situations when signals of high transmission power are code-division multiplexed (CDM) on an OVSF-channelization code also used to spread signals of small transmission power. This situation arises, for example, when the base station simultaneously transmits to a far mobile station located near the cell boundary and to a near mobile station located near the center of a cell. The situation may also arise when the base station simultaneously transmits signals to mobile stations having widely different error requirements.
- CDM code-division multiplexed
- the near-far problem in combination with the loss of orthogonality causes an increase in co-channel interference at the near mobile station (mobile station 2).
- the amount of interference due to loss of orthogonality depends on the cross-correlation between the pair of bit-level spreading sequences assigned to the near and far mobile stations. Some pairs of sequences exhibit relatively weak cross-correlation, and are therefore more resistant to the near-far problems than other pairs of sequences. Other sequence pairs exhibit relatively strong cross-correlation, and are therefore less resistant to the near-far problem. Sequence pairs having a strong cross-correlation amplify the near-far problem. Further, if two near mobile stations are assigned sequence pairs having strong cross-correlations, the performance at the near mobile stations will be bad all the time. Because this results in a consistently bad performance, this situation is undesirable.
- the present invention addresses the near-far problem by using a different bit-level spreading sequence for each slot of a TTI to initially spread the control signal.
- the present invention changes the bit-level spreading sequence assignments of a control sub ⁇ channel from slot to slot in a system that allows a number of control sub-channels to share a common control channel/OVSF channelization code.
- a sequence-hopping pattern assigned to each sub-channel indexes a different bit-level spreading sequence for each slot of a pre- determined time interval.
- Figure 5 shows a 3-slot TTI 12 having a 1-bit ACK signal in each slot and a 3-slot sequence-hopping pattern 14.
- Sequence-hopping pattern 14 references sequence 12 for slot 1, sequence 5 for slot 2, and sequence 17 for slot 3.
- multiplier 20 may spread the 1 -bit ACK signal in slots 1 , 2, and 3 using bit-level spreading sequences Ci 2 , C 5 , and C 17 , respectively (see Figure 1).
- the sequence-hopping patterns described below include cyclic sequence-hopping patterns, pseudo-random sequence-hopping patterns, and intelligent sequence-hopping patterns.
- the sequence-hopping pattern comprises a pattern of sequence indices, wherein each element represents an index that identifies a particular Hadamard sequence for bit-level spreading.
- Figure 6 illustrates an exemplary set of cyclic sequence-hopping patterns. This exemplary set comprises forty sequence-hopping patterns, with each sequence-hopping pattern comprising fifteen sequence indices.
- a total of forty sequence indices are available for any given sequence-hopping pattern. These sequence indices may reference any known bit-level spreading sequences. For example, indices 0 through 19 may reference the bit-level spreading sequences 0 through 19 shown in Figure 1.
- the remaining bit-level spreading sequences (20 through 39) may, for example, be generated by multiplying each of the 0 through 19 sequences byy, where/ is the square root of -1. In other words, sequence /c+20 may be obtained by multiplying j time sequence k.
- Each sequence-hopping pattern corresponds to one sub ⁇ channel, and therefore, corresponds to one mobile station or one control sub-channel. As shown in Figure 6, each successive sequence-hopping pattern of the set of sequence-hopping patterns comprises a cyclic shift of a base sequence-hopping pattern.
- the first row of the set of sequence- hopping patterns in Figure 6 corresponds to the base sequence-hopping pattern.
- cyclic shifts of the base sequence-hopping pattern of the first row generate subsequent sequence-hopping patterns.
- Figure 6 shows a base sequence-hopping pattern that comprises sequential sequence indices (e.g., 1 , 2, 3, 4, ...)
- the cyclic process of the present invention is not so limited.
- the cyclic process also applies to a pseudo-random base sequence- hopping pattern, where cyclic shifts of the base pseudo-random sequence-hopping pattern generate successive rows of the set of sequence hopping patterns.
- a pseudo-random process that satisfies the following properties generates the set of sequence-hopping patterns.
- the sequence-hopping pattern repeats after a predetermined number of slots.
- Figure 7 illustrates one exemplary procedure for generating a sequence-hopping pattern satisfying these four properties.
- the generated random permutation is added to the set of existing permutation patterns (block 120) unless the obtained permutation is identical to any already existing permutation pattern in the table (block 110).
- These steps repeat until the set of sequence hopping patterns includes a sufficient number of permutation patterns (block 130).
- Each mobile station or one control sub-channel uses one of the permutation patterns from the set of patterns.
- An exemplary pseudo-random hopping pattern may be obtained by Galois field operation using a primitive element.
- Figure 8 illustrates a pseudo-random sequence-hopping pattern satisfying all the aforementioned properties.
- the illustrated set of sequence-hopping patterns supports forty control sub-channels each having a fifteen slot TTI. Each control sub-channel corresponds to a different mobile station and may provide control signals to the corresponding mobile station.
- sub-channel 1 uses bit-level Hadamard sequence 12 in slot 1 , sequence 23 in slot 2, sequence 37 in slot 3, etc.
- the hopping pattern repeats itself after 15 slots.
- the above-described pseudo-random process generates a set of sequence-hopping patterns where a particular index only appears once in a given sequence- hopping pattern. Further, a particular index only appears once in a given column of the set of sequence-hopping patterns. In other words, a particular index is unique for a given sequence- hopping pattern and for corresponding slots of the set of sequence-hopping patterns. As a result, the generated set of sequence-hopping patterns prevents a mobile station from using a bad sequence more than once.
- an intelligent sequence assignment process generates the sequence-hopping pattern.
- the intelligent process exploits the fact that different pairs of bit-level Hadamard sequences exhibit different performance parameters, i.e., mutual near-far resistant ratios.
- Figure 9 lists the mutual near-far resistant ratios between pairs of length-20 Hadamard sequences of Figure 6 in a flat fading channel with 200Hz Doppler spread. As shown in Figure 9, sequences C 0 and C 2 have a mutual near-far resistant ratio of 25 dB, while sequences C 4 and C 6 only have an 8 dB mutual near-far resistant ratio.
- the following steps may construct an intelligent sequence-hopping pattern matrix:
- Acceptable pairs (c n ;c m ) of sequences correspond to pairs having a mutual near-far resistant ratio above a certain threshold value, and for which any other sequence pair, i.e. (c n ;C
- a threshold value e.g., -11 ,5dB.
- Figure 11 illustrates an exemplary sequence-hopping pattern generated using the above-described cyclic pseudo-random and intelligent processes for an E-HICH.
- the table presented in Figure 9 reveals that the following pairs of sequences satisfy the above-described threshold requirements: (c o ;c 5 ), (C 1 JC 16 ), (c 2 ;c 10 ), (C 3 ICi 1 ), (C 4 JCi 4 ), (c 5 ;c 7 ), (c 6 ;c 5 ), (c 7 ;c 16 ), (c 8 ;c 12 ), (c 9 ;c 4 ), (c 10 ;ci 8 ), (C 11 IC 19 ), (c 12 ;c ⁇ ), (C 18 Ic 11 ), and (c 19 ;c 15 ).
- the intelligent process modifies the sequence-hopping pattern of sub ⁇ channels 1 and 2 as shown in Figure 6 as follows: For slot number 1 , (c o ;c 5 ) represent the desired pair of sequences for sub-channels 1 and 2. This is achieved by swapping the sequence assignment reference number in slot 1 of sub-channel 6 with the sequence reference number in slot 1 of sub-channel 2. A repetition of this procedure for the remaining slots (2 to 15) results in the intelligent sequence-hopping patterns shown in Figure 11.
- the resulting table comprises a set of sequence-hopping patterns, where the sequence- hopping patterns for sub-channels 1 and 2 are assigned to signals with high transmit power.
- this intelligent process provides two or more sequence-hopping patterns for multiple sub-channels that do not all result in a bad near-far resistant ration with the sequence-hopping patterns in the remaining sub-channels.
- the base station After generating the set of sequence-hopping patterns using the intelligent process, the base station assigns selected sequence-hopping patterns based on transmit power. For example, the base station may assign a pair of sequence-hopping patterns with weak correlation, and thus strong near-far resistant characteristics, to mobile stations with relatively large transmit power.
- the present invention may also apply an intelligent sequence-hopping pattern assignment process.
- the base station evaluates pairs of adjacent or non-adjacent sequence-hopping patterns to determine an overall performance parameter, i.e., an overall near-far resistant ratio, of the sequences associated with the pair(s) of sequence-hopping patterns. Based on the overall performance parameters, pairs of sequence-hopping patterns having a sufficiently acceptable overall performance parameter are reserved for transmitting high power control signals. In other words, it is advantageous to assign sequence-hopping patterns in such a way that no sequence-hopping pattern has a poor overall near-far resistant ratio relative to the sequence-hopping pattern(s) assigned to higher power control signals.
- a set of sequence-hopping patterns may be generated according to the intelligent process using performance parameters different from the mutual near-far resistant ratio discussed above. Further, it will also be appreciated that the intelligent pseudo-random process may use multiple performance parameters to determine how best to pair sequences in adjacent channels.
- sequence-hopping patterns generated according to any of the above-described processes may be used to IQ-multiplex control signals in the E- HICH and the E-RGCH.
- sequence k spreads the control signal in the E-HICH for a given user in a particular slot
- the E-RGCH addressed to the same user uses the sequence (k+20) in the same slot for the E-RGCH control signal.
- Figure 12 illustrates an exemplary block diagram for implementing this I/Q multiplexing. As shown in Figure 12, this I/Q multiplexing technique may simplify the implementation of the receiver.
- sequence-hopping patterns suitable for one hop per TTI may be used to obtain sequence-hopping patterns suitable for one hop per TTI.
- the present invention is not so limited. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the processes described herein also apply to systems that use a sequence-hopping pattern suitable for one hop per any desired time interval.
- a different bit-level Hadamard sequence referenced by the corresponding sequence-hopping pattern spreads each control signal in each slot of a TTI or predetermined time interval.
- Figure 13 illustrates one exemplary code-multiplexer for implementing any or all of the above-described CDM processes. For purposes of illustration, Figure 13 only illustrates 3 sub ⁇ channels each having a TTI of 3 slots. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is not limited to the illustrated implementation.
- the CDM system 10 comprises a control processor 30, an ACK/NACK control signal 12, a rate control signal 14, and a sequence-hopping pattern 16 for each mobile station 18.
- Multipliers 19 and 21 scale the control signals 12, 14, while multiplier 20 and summer 22 I/O rnultiplex " the "" sc ⁇ aled ACK/NACK control signal 12 with the corresponding scaled rate control signal 14 to generate a combined I/Q control signal 24.
- Control processor 30 comprises a memory 32 and an assignment processor 34.
- Memory 32 stores a set of sequence-hopping patterns generated according to any of the above- described methods. Based on the generated set of sequence-hopping patterns, assignment processor 34 selects and assigns a sequence-hopping pattern to each mobile station 18.
- assignment processor 34 may select and assign the sequence-hopping pattern 16 sequentially, i.e., sequence-hopping pattern 1 to mobile station 1 , sequence-hopping pattern 2 to mobile station 2, sequence-hopping pattern 3 to mobile station 3, etc.
- assignment processor 34 may select and assign the sequence-hopping patterns 16 based on one or more variables provided by control signal 36.
- control signal 36 may indicate to assignment processor 34 which mobile stations 18 are associated with high transmission powers (far mobile stations) and which mobile stations 18 are associated with low transmission powers (near mobile stations). Based on this, assignment processor 34 may assign sequence-hopping patterns 16 having an acceptable mutual near-far resistant ratio (as discussed above) to the mobile stations 18 associated with high transmission powers.
- multiplier 26 multiplexes each assigned sequence-hopping pattern 16 with combined I/Q control signal 24.
- the sequence indexed by slot 1 of sequence-hopping pattern 16 spreads the control signal in slot 1.
- sequence 2 spreads the combined I/Q control signal 24 in slot 1.
- sequence 3 spreads the combined I/Q control signal 24 in slot 2
- sequence 4 spreads the combined I/Q control signal 24 in slot 3. This occurs for each mobile station 18.
- Combiner 40 then combines the spread control signals 28.
- Multiplier 42 spreads the output of combiner 40 using a common OVSF channelization code 44 to generate the output control signal to be transmitted to each mobile station 18.
