Abstract
A method, system, base station, network node, and user equipment for implementing macro diversity combining (MDC) are disclosed. In the method, a base station judges whether user equipment service data meets a condition for allocating demodulation resources. The base station allocates demodulation resources for service data meeting the condition, demodulates the service data and forwards the demodulated service data to a network node for implementing MDC.
Claims18
A method for implementing macro diversity combining (MDC), comprising:
- receiving, by a base station, service data from a user equipment (UE);
- determining, by the base station, the service data comprising a part of service data which needs to undergo MDC according to indication information received from a network node for implementing MDC, or according to preset configuration;
- judging, by the base station, whether the part of service data which needs to undergo MDC meets a condition for allocating demodulation resources;
- if the part of service data meets the condition for allocating demodulation resources, allocating, by the base station, demodulation resources for the part of service data,
- demodulating the part of service data;
- and
- forwarding the demodulated service data to the network node for implementing MDC.
A base station, for implementing macro diversity combining (MDC), comprising:
- a data receiving unit, configured to receive service data from a user equipment (UE);
- an MDC service determining unit, configured to determine that the service data comprises a part of service data that needs to undergo MDC according to a preset configuration or an indication from a network node for implementing MDC;
- a judging unit, configured to judge whether the part of service data that needs to undergo MDC meets condition for allocating demodulation resources;
- and
- a processing unit, configured to when the part of service data meets the condition for allocating demodulation resources, allocate demodulation resources for the part of service data, to demodulate the part of service data, and to forward the demodulated service data to the network node for implementing MDC.
A network node, for implementing macro diversity combining (MDC), comprising:
- an indicating unit, configured to send a first indication message to a base station, wherein the first indication message indicates whether service data received by the base station from a user equipment (UE) needs to undergo MDC;
- and
- an MDC unit, configured to receive demodulated service data forwarded by the base station after the base station determines a part of the service data received from the UE needs to undergo MDC and the part of the service data meets the condition for allocating demodulation resources, allocates demodulation resources for the part of service data and demodulates the part of service data, and implement MDC for the received demodulated service data.
A user equipment (UE) for implementing macro diversity combining (MDC), comprising:
- an indication receiving unit, configured to receive an indication message from a network node for implementing MDC, wherein the indication message indicates that a part of high-speed packet access service data that needs to undergo MDC and another part of high-speed packet access service data that does not need to undergo MDC need to be contained into different transport blocks of air interface;
- a processing unit, configured to contain the part of high-speed packet access service data that needs to and the another part that does not need to undergo MDC into different transport blocks of air interface according to the indication message received by the indication receiving unit;
- and
- a sending unit, configured to send the transport blocks of air interface processed by the processing unit to a base station.
