- MTC Machine Type Communication
- 3GPP TS 36.300 “Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) and Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN); Overall description; Stage 2”
- 3GPP TS 36.888 “Study on provision of low-cost Machine-Type Communications (MTC) User Equipments (UEs) based on LTE (Release 12)”
- MTC Machine-Type Communications
- UEs User Equipments
- the low-cost MTC terminal is realized by limiting the use band of the uplink (UL) and the downlink (DL) to a part of the system band (for example, one component carrier).
- CSI Channel State Information
- An object of the present invention is to provide a user terminal, a radio base station, and a radio communication method.
- the user terminal which concerns on 1 aspect of this invention is a user terminal by which the use band was restrict
- the present invention it is possible to appropriately measure and / or report a plurality of narrowband CSIs even when the use band is limited to a narrow band that is a part of the system band.
- the maximum transport block size is limited to 1000 bits in unicast transmission using the downlink data channel (PDSCH: Physical Downlink Shared Channel), and the maximum transport block size is limited to 2216 bits in BCCH transmission using the downlink data channel.
- the bandwidth of the downlink data channel is limited to 6 resource blocks (also referred to as RB (Resource Block) and PRB (Physical Resource Block)).
- the reception RF at the MTC terminal is limited to 1.
- the low cost MTC terminal (LC (Low-Cost) -MTC UE) has a more limited transport block size and resource block than existing user terminals, the LTE Rel-8 to Rel-11 cells can not connect. For this reason, the low-cost MTC terminal is connected only to the cell whose access permission is notified by the broadcast signal. Furthermore, not only the downlink data signal, but also various control signals (system information, downlink control information) transmitted on the downlink, and data signals and various control signals transmitted on the uplink, a specified narrow band (for example, It is considered to limit the frequency to 1.4 MHz.
- a specified narrow band for example, It is considered to limit the frequency to 1.4 MHz.
- the MTC terminal whose band is limited in this way needs to operate in the LTE system band in consideration of the relationship with the existing user terminal. For example, in the system band, frequency multiplexing is supported between an MTC terminal whose band is limited and an existing user terminal whose band is not limited. In addition, a user terminal whose band is limited supports only a predetermined narrow band RF in the uplink and the downlink.
- the MTC terminal is a terminal whose maximum supported band is a part of the system band
- the existing user terminal is a terminal whose maximum supported band is the system band (for example, 20 MHz). is there.
- the upper limit of the use band of the MTC terminal is limited to a narrow band, and the upper limit of the use band of the existing user terminal is set to the system band. Since the MTC terminal is designed on the basis of a narrow band, the hardware configuration is simplified and the processing capability is suppressed as compared with the existing user terminal.
- the MTC terminal may be referred to as a low-cost MTC terminal (LC-MTC UE), an MTC UE, or the like.
- Existing user terminals may be referred to as normal UEs, non-MTC UEs, Category 1 UEs, and the like.
- the use band of the MTC terminal is limited to a part of a narrow band (eg, 1.4 MHz) of the existing LTE band (eg, 20 MHz). If the narrow band is fixed at a predetermined frequency position in the system band, the traffic is concentrated on the center frequency. Moreover, since the frequency diversity effect cannot be obtained, the frequency utilization efficiency may be reduced.
- a narrow band eg, 1.4 MHz
- the existing LTE band eg, 20 MHz
- the MTC terminal preferably has an RF retuning function in consideration of application of frequency hopping and frequency scheduling.
- the MTC terminal since the MTC terminal supports only a narrow band of 1.4 MHz, it cannot detect downlink control information (DCI: Downlink Control Information) transmitted on the wideband PDCCH. Therefore, it is considered that resource allocation for downlink (PDSCH) and uplink (PUSCH: Physical Uplink Shared Channel) is performed for the MTC terminal using EPDCCH (Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel).
- DCI Downlink Control Information
- PUSCH Physical Uplink Shared Channel
- FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of PDSCH allocation in the MTC terminal.
- the EPDCCH is assigned to a predetermined narrow band.
- Information on the frequency position to which the EPDCCH is allocated may be notified by higher layer signaling (for example, RRC signaling, MAC signaling, broadcast signal, etc.), or may be set in advance in the user terminal.
- EPDCCH includes DCI related to PDSCH allocation resources.
- the user terminal is notified of radio resource candidates (also referred to as a narrowband set, a PDSCH set, an EPDCCH set, etc.) to which a downlink signal (for example, PDSCH) can be allocated by higher layer signaling, and the PDSCH set based on DCI Is dynamically specified.
- radio resource candidates also referred to as a narrowband set, a PDSCH set, an EPDCCH set, etc.
- a downlink signal for example, PDSCH
- the user terminal grasps a PDSCH set to be received based on DCI in the next subframe in which the EPDCCH is transmitted, and receives the PDSCH.
- PDSCH reception may be performed in the same subframe as EPDCCH reception.
- the user terminal receives the PDSCH with the allocation resource specified by the EPDCCH.
- a PRB included in a PDSCH to be received can be specified by a DCI resource allocation field (RA (Resource Allocation) field).
- RA Resource Allocation
- the size of the RA field can be reduced, and even in this case, the frequency scheduling gain can be maintained.
- CSI Channel State Information
- causing the LC-MTC terminal to periodically measure CSI has a problem of causing an increase in power consumption in the user terminal. Furthermore, periodically reporting CSI using PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) to LC-MTC terminals with low traffic frequency causes a decrease in uplink transmission efficiency and an increase in power consumption in user terminals. There is a problem.
- PUCCH Physical Uplink Control Channel
- the present inventors have studied to control the execution timing of each narrowband CSI measurement using information on narrowband CSI measurement, and have reached the present invention.
- CSI measurement is started with the reception of a downlink control signal transmitted by PDCCH / EPDCCH as a trigger. Accordingly, it is not necessary for the user terminal to periodically measure CSI (and frequency retuning) for a long period of time, and CSI can be efficiently measured and reported. Therefore, application of frequency scheduling can be facilitated.
- an MTC terminal is illustrated as a user terminal whose use band is limited to a narrow band, but application of the present invention is not limited to an MTC terminal.
- the narrow band is described as 6PRB (1.4 MHz), the present invention can be applied based on the present specification even in other narrow bands.
- a subframe set (CSI measurement subframe set) indicating a subframe group for measuring CSI in each narrow band is set for the user terminal.
- the user terminal measures CSI in a subframe (CSI subframe) belonging to the received subframe set.
- the CSI measurement subframe is preferably set to be different in each narrow band.
- the CSI measurement subframe set may be referred to as a CSI subframe set.
- Information on the narrowband CSI subframe set is notified from the radio base station to the user terminal by higher layer signaling (for example, RRC signaling, MAC signaling, broadcast signal, etc.).
- higher layer signaling for example, RRC signaling, MAC signaling, broadcast signal, etc.
- the CSI subframe set is set in advance for the user terminal and the radio base station, it may not be notified.
- the information related to the narrowband CSI subframe set includes, for example, frequency information (for example, information for specifying a narrowband) to be set in the CSI subframe, timing information for the CSI subframe (for example, the period of the CSI subframe, the sub Information such as a frame offset, a subframe number, and a subframe position).
- the timing information of the CSI subframe may be, for example, a bitmap in which the CSI subframe is indicated by “1” and subframes other than the CSI subframe are indicated by “0”. For example, 20, 40, 60, or 80 bits may be used as the length of the bitmap, but the length is not limited thereto.
- information on the narrowband CSI subframe set may be notified by a control signal (for example, DCI (Downlink Control Information)).

- Different subframe offsets are applied to the CSI subframes in FIG. 3 so that different narrowband measurements are not performed at the same timing.
- the CSI subframe period is the same period (20 subframes) in each narrowband, but is not limited thereto, and may be an integral multiple of another narrowband CSI subframe period, for example.
- the CSI measurement based on the CSI subframe includes a transmission mode in which CSI is measured on a CRS (Cell-specific Reference Signal) basis (for example, transmission mode 4) and a transmission mode in which CSI is measured on a DM-RS (Demodulation Reference Signal) basis (for example, the present invention can be applied to both transmission modes 7 to 9).

- a user terminal for example, an MTC terminal
- data transmission / reception is performed in another narrow band at the timing of a certain narrow band CSI subframe. It is necessary to specify the behavior when it occurs.
- the user terminal When the user terminal is instructed to perform data transmission or reception at the same timing as the CSI subframe, the user terminal skips (does not perform) CSI measurement in the CSI subframe and performs the instructed data transmission or reception It is good. For example, when PDSCH is triggered at the same timing as a CSI subframe in a certain narrow band, PDSCH reception may be preferentially performed in the subframe. Further, even when the user terminal is instructed to perform data transmission or reception in the CSI subframe, the user terminal may be configured to perform CSI measurement in the subframe.

For example, PDSCH may be interrupted in a plurality of subframes including a CSI subframe.

- the information related to the instruction to start / stop periodic CSI measurement may include, for example, 1-bit information indicating “1” for starting measurement and “0” for stopping measurement.
- the information on the start or stop of the periodic CSI measurement in the narrow band further includes frequency information to be set for the periodic CSI measurement, timing information of the CSI subframe (for example, CSI subframe period, subframe offset, Information such as subframe number and subframe position), and duration information of periodic CSI measurement.
