Full Text [DESCRIPTION] METHOD OF ALLOCATING UPLINK TRANSMISSION CHANNELS IN A
COMMUNICATION SYSTEM Technical Field
[0001] The present: invention relates to a method of allocating channelization code, and more particularly, to a method of allocating channelization codes using Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF) in a communication system. Although the present invention is suitable for a wide scope of applications, it is particularly suitable for effectively and efficiently allocating channelization codes of OVSF.
Background Art
[0002] In 3GPP, there continues to be discussions in connection with Enhanced Dedicated Channel (E-DCH) to send high speed uplink transmissions in response to high speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH). More specifically, from the discussions of uplink transmission in Rcl 99/Rel 4/Rcl 5, a consensus was reached to allocate Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH) to the Q branch while allocating Dedicated Physical Data Channel (DPDCH) to the I branch. Both the control channel and the data channel were modulated using dual channel Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK).
[0003] Figure 1 illustrates an Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor code tree. Particularly, transmission of DPCCH b the uplink direction always employs a spreading

factor (SF) of 256 (SF - 256), and the control channel, DPCCH, is allocated to code 0 (CcMse.o) on the Q branch. Furthermore, in a case where HS-DSCH is used in transmission, the spreading factor of 256 is used in transmitting HS-DPCCH in the uplink direction. At the same time, the code allocated for transmission also changes based on maximum number of codes available in the uplink DPDCH. In detail, when the number of codes is one, the DPDCH is allocated to the 64th code on the Q branch, when the numbers of codes are 2, 4, or 6, the DPDCH is allocated to the first code on the I branch, and when the numbers of codes are 3 or 5, the DPDCH is allocated to the 32nd code on the Q branch.
|0004] The uplink DPDCH is different from the downlink DPDCH in that changes in the amount of data affects how the code is allocated. More specifically, as the amount of data increases, a lower spreading factor is used so as to avoid using multicode in transmitting DPDCH in the uplink direction. For example, with increase in data rate, a lower spreading factor is used from 256 to 4. However, when the use of lower spreading factor reaches SF = 4, multicodes are used to transmit high data rate via DPDCH in the uplink direction.
[0005] The chanelization code of the uplink DPDCH is determined by the spreading factor. If only one code is used, the number of the OVSF code tree relating to SF/4 is used (CCh,sF,sF/4)- In addition, if two or more codes are used, the uplink DPDC& is determined not only by OVSF code tree but also the allocation of the I/Q branches. In other words, if the number of multicodes are 1 or 2, then code index 1 of SF=4 (CCh,4.i) is

allocated, if the number of multicodes are 3 or 4, then code index 3 (CCh,4,3) is allocated, and if the number of multicodes are 5 or 6, then code index 2 (Cch|4>2)is allocated. Figure 2 illustrates code allocation of uplink DPCH and HS-DPCCH.
[0006] In simultaneously using the Dedicated Physical Channel (DPCH) and E-DCH for uplink transmission, if the same rule which applies to DPCH is used, a problem can arise from simultaneously occupying the same OVSF code. Furthermore, if E-DCH and DPCH arfi simultaneously transmitted, the code allocation scheme of E-DCH is necessary to prevent code occupancy problem.

In the drawings;

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0020] Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or [ike parts.
[0021] In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, E-DCH and DPCH are simultaneously transmitted. In particular, the allocation of E-DCH and DPCH is explainsd in detail. The allocation of channelization codes of E-DCH and DPCH represent

maintaining orthogonality between channels having different transmission rate and different spreading factors. The spreading factor is determined based on the amount of data.
[0022] In allocating channels when E-DCH and DPCH are simultaneously transmitted, it is DPCH which is allocated. The reason for such a priority allocation is to prevent backward compatibility issues. DPCH is allocated prior to allocating B-DCH because Node B cannot detect DPCH if E-DCH uses the allocated code initially allocated to DPCH. DPCH is allocated first a code which corresponds to SF/4 of the OVSF code tree. For example, if the spreading factor is 4, DPCH is allocated to code 1 (CCh,4,i) of the OVSF code tree. Thereafter, E-DCH is allocated to remaining codes in the OVSF code tree.
[0023] With respect to E-DCH, E-DPDCHs and E-DPCCH are used to control the data channels. These channels are combined with existing uplink physical channel for transmission. In operation, E-DPCCH is allocated and fixed to the I branch and determines the order for allocating codes of E-DPDCH based on configuration of HS-DSCH to attain optimum Pealc-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR).
[0024] Furthermore, if a code for E-DCH is allocated to any one of available code in the OVSF code tree, the PAPR increases affecting the performance of a UE. Therefore, if E-DCH allocated a plurality of codes, the spreading factor is limited to fcur (SF = 4). In the specification, a single code is referred to as a code. Moreover, a term expressed to indicate more than one code is expressed as codes and also can be expressed as multicodes.

(0025) In the present invention, the question of whether HS-DSCH is configured for the UE is important. Therefore, the discussions are based on sets of situations where one set has HS-DSCH configured for the UE while the other set does not. The following situations include HS-DSCH not configured for a UE.
[0026] In a situation where E-DCH and DPCH each use a single code, as explained above, DPCH is first allocated a code from the OVSF code tree. More specifically, Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH) is allocated an OVSF code 0 of SF=256 (CCh,256,o), which is a child code of OVSF code 0 of SF*4 (Coh,4.o). In addition, DPDCH is. allocated a code corresponding to SF/4 (CCh.4,i). With respect to E-DCH, other remaining OVSF code other than the codes corresponding to mother code and child codes of SF/4 of DPCH can be allocated to E-DCH. Here, for example, an OVSF code corresponding to SF/2 (CCh,SF.sF/2)can be used.
H)027| After the OVS11' codes are allocated to respective E-DCH and DPCH, DPDCH is allocated to the I branch while DPCCH is allocated to the Q branch. Moreover, since DPDCH is allocated to the I branch, E-DCH is allocated to the Q branch. Consequently, E-DCH can use the same OVSF codes as used by DPCH.
[0028] Furthermore, if DPCH uses two codes while E-DCH uses one code, two DPDCHs are allocated to a code corresponding to 1 (Cch,4,i) aud allocated to I/Q branches in the order of (I, Q). As explained above, the allocation of DPCCH in the Q branch is same. As for E-DCH, since a code that can be allocated to E-DCH cannot be to a child code

allocated to the DPCH, a code branching from a different mother code is allocated to E-DCH. For example, since the spreading factor is 4 which means DPDCH is allocated to code corresponding to 1 (CCh,4,i)> E-DCH can be allocated to a code corresponding to SF/2 (Cch.SF.sr/2). Here, E-DCH can be allocated to either the I branch or the Q branch.
[0029] If DPCH uses three codes, three DPDCHs are allocated codes corresponding to 1 and 3. More specifically, the allocated OVSF codes are (CCh,4,i, C0h4,i> and Cch/u)-Theses DPDCHs are allocated to the I/Q branches in the order of (i, Q, I). Here, E-DCH can be allocated to a code not associated with a child code of codes corresponding to 1 or 3. For example, E-DCH can be allocated a code corresponding to 2 and can be allocated to either J or Q branch. Moreover, since the third DPDCH is allocated to the T branch, E-DCH can be allocated to a child code of the code corresponding to 3 which is allocated to the Q branch,
[0030] If DPCH uses four codes to one code used by E-DCH, the codes allocated to DPDCH correspond to 1 and 3. In other words, the allocated OVSF codes are (C0t,,4,i, CCh4,i» Cch.4,3, and Cch,4,3). These DPDCHs are allocated to the I/Q branches in the order of (I, Q, I, Q). Here, as same as above, E-DCH can use a code not belonging to a child code corresponding to 1 and 3. For example, E-DCH can be allocated an OVSF code corresponding to 2. Again, E-DCH can be allocated to either the I branch or the Q branch since DPDCH does not occupy any codes corresponding to SF/2.
[0031] In a situation where DPCH uses five codes, five DPDCHs are allocated
.»* •
codes corresponding to 1,3, and 2. In other words, the allocated OVSF codes are (CCh,4,i,

CCh4,i, Cch,4,3, Cch.4,3, and CCh4,2)- These DPDCHs are allocated to the I7Q branches in the order of (I, Q, I, Q, I) branches. Here, since these five DPDCHs occupy all available codes witli DPCC11 occupying code 0, a new code cannot be allocated to E-DCH. However, since the fifth DPDCH having a code corresponding to 2 is allocated to the I branch, E-DCH can be allocated to the Q branch while having an allocated code corresponding to SF/2.
[0032] In the same vein, if DPCH uses six codes, E-DCH cannot use OVSF codes for allocation since all the codes are occupied.
[0033] In contrast to above situations provided above with respect to DPCH using a plurality of codes while E-DCH used a single code, the following situations include E-DCH using a plurality of codes while DPCH uses a single code. Again, the following situations share the same condition as above in which HS-DSCH is not configured a UE.
[0034] If E-DCH uses one code and DPCH also uses one code, as same as the above situations, DPCH is allocated to a code corresponding to SF/4 (CCh,sF,sF/4) and allocated to the I branch since the HS-DSCH is not configured to a UE. In addition, More specifically, Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH) is allocated an OVSF code 0 of SF-256 (Cch.2$; to SF/4 (Q.h.sF.siv.:)- As for E-DCH, other OVSF code other than the codes corresponding to the mother code and the child code of SF/4 of DPCH can be allocated to E-DCH. For example, an OVSF code corresponding to SF/2 (CCh>sF,SF/2)can be used.

[0035] After the OVSF codes are allocated to respective E-DCH arid DPCH, DPDCH is allocated to the I branch while DPCCH is allocated to the Q branch. Moreover, since DPDCH is allocated to the I branch, E-DCH is allocated to the Q branch. Consequently, E-DCH can use the same OVSF codes as used by DPCH. For example, as in DPCH allocation, a first B-DPDCH is allocated to the Q branch. Thereafter, E-DPDCHs are allocated alternately where the second E-DPDCH is then allocated to the I branch.
[0036] In a situation where E-DCH uses two codes and DPCH uses a single code, the spreading factor remains 4 and DPCH occupies the child codes corresponding to codes 0 (Cch.4,o) and 1 (CCh,4,0- The reason is that DPCCH has been allocated to a child code of Cci,,4,o, and DPDCH has been allocated Cch,4,i- Therefore, E-DCHs can be allocated to available OVSF codes belonging to codes that correspond to 2 (CCh,4^) or 3 (Cch/u) and can be allocated the I/Q branches in the order of either (I, Q) or ('Q, I). If E-DCHs are allocated to the branches in order of (I, Q), DPDCH is allocated to the I branch, and therefore, E-DCH allocated to the I branch has to use a different code from that of DPDCH. Subsequently, E-DCH can use all codes except for code that corresponds to 1 of SF=4. In the Q branch, E-DCH can share the code with DPDCH, e.g., using (CCh,4,3, Cchl4,i). On the other hand, if E-DCH is allocated to the (Q, I) branches, an example would be to use (CCh,4,i»
Ccti,4,3).
[0037] If E-DCH uses three codes to one code used by DPCH, E-DCH can be allocated to either (I, Q, I) or (Q, I, Q) branches. Here, E-DCH cannot have been allocated

to the child codes of code corresponding to 1 of SF-4 (Ccll,,,,i) in the 1 branch since E-DPCCH occupies that code. At the same time, li-DCH cannot have been allocated to the child codes of code 0 of SF-4 (CcM,0) in the Q branch since DPCCH occupies that code. For example, if E-DCHs arc allocated to the branches in the order of (I, Q, I), the OVSF allocated codes that correspond accordingly would be (CCh,4,3, Cch|4>i, Cch,4,2). If E-DCHs are allocated to the branches in the order of (Q, I, Q), the corresponding allocated codes are
(Cch/Vu Cch.4,3, Cch.4,3).
[0038] In a situation where E-DCH uses four codes while DPCH uses one code, E-DCHs can be allocated to the I/'Q branches in the order of (I, Q, I, Q) or (Q, I, Q, I). Similar to the explanations of above, E-DCHs can be allocated to available codes except to the child codes of a code corresponding to 1 of SF=4 (Cch,4,i) in the I branch and the child codes of a code that correspond to code 0 (Cch,4,o) in the Q branch. Again, the reason for this is because E-DPCCH occupies (CCM,i) in the I branch when HS-DSCH is not configured, and DPCCH occupies (CCh,4,o) in the Q branch when HS-DSCH is not configured. For example, if E-DCHs are allocated to the branches in the order of (I, Q, I, Q), the corresponding OVSF codes are (CCh,4,3, COM,I, CCM,2, CCM.Z) so as to avoid conflicts with other occupied codes. Moreover, if E-DCHs are allocated to the branches in the order of (Q, T, Q, I), the corresponding OVSF codes are (CCh,4,i, C0h,4,3, C0h,4,3, CCh,4,2) to avoid conflict with occupied codes E-DPCCH in the I branch and DPCCH hi the Q branch.

[0039J If E-DCH uses five codes, E-DCHs can be allocated to the I/Q branches in the order of (Q, I, Q, I, Q). Again, E-DCHs can be allocated to available codes except to the child codes of code corresponding to 1 of SF=4 (CCM,i) in the I branch and the child codes of code that corresponds to code 0 (CcM|0) in the Q branch. For example, code allocation corresponding to the allocated branches would be (CcM,i, CcM,3, Ccl),4,3, CcM,2, CCM,:).
[0040] In a situation where E-DCH uses six codes, OVSF codes cannot be allocated to E-DCH. However, if a codes corresponding to code 0 (CCh,4,o) is allocated to the I branch, it is possible to allocate a code to E-DCH. For example, the allocated OVSF codes can be
(Cch,4,0, Cch,4,I, Cch,4,2» Ccb,4,2, Cch,4,3> Cch,4,3).
[0041] In a situation where both E-DCH and DPCH use a plurality of codes, DPDCH is first allocated to the I branch, followed by allocation of codes of E-DCH. For example, if three codes are allocated to DPDCH and two to E-DCH, the OVSF codes allocated to DPDCH are (CcMli, Cci,,4,i, CcM,3) and are respectively allocated to the I/Q branches in the order of (I, Q, I) while the codes allocated to E-DCH (Cch.4,3, CCh,4,2) are allocated to the I/Q branches in the order of (Q, I).
[0042] In another embodiment of the present invention, HS-DSCH is configured to a UE making it necessary to transmit HS-DPCCH.
[0043] If E-DCH and DPDCH each use one code, DPDCH is allocated to a code corresponding to SF/4 and further allocated to the I branch, HS-DPCCH is allocated to code
»•* -
corresponding to CBh,2s
can be allocated to available OVSF codes except to the mother and child codes of a code corresponding to SF/4. In other words, E-DCH cannot be allocated to the mother and child codes of a code corresponding to CcM,, since DPDCH is first allocated to that code in the I branch. Furthermore, the codes not associated with the mother and child codes of code 0 (Cci,,4,o) and code 64 (CCh,256,6i) of the spreading factor 256 can be allocated. As explained above, HS-DPCCH is allocated to the code 64 (Cch,2S6,64), and DPCCH is allocated to code 0
(Cch,256,o)-
[0044] In a situation where E-DCH uses one code wlJIe DPDCH uses a plurality of codes, the codes are first allocated to DPDCH and HS-DPCCH. As for DPDCH, the OVSF codes are allocated (Cci,,4,i, CCh,4,i, Cetvu, Cci,,4,3, Ccfvj,2, CCM,2) and further allocated to the I/Q branches in the order of (I, Q, I, Q, I, Q). As for HS-DPCCH, DPDCHs are allocated based on the number of codes. If the maximum available number of codes of DPDCH are even numbered, i.e., 2, 4, or 6, the HS-DPCCH is allocated to code corresponding to 1 of SF=256 and further allocated to the I branch. If the maximum available number of codes of DPDCHs are 3 or 5, then the HS-DPCCH is allocated to a code corresponding to 32 of S.F»256 (Cch.256.32) and further allocated to the Q branch. After DPDCHs and HS-DPCCH are allocated in such manners, the codes of E-DCHs are allocated. Here, the first E-DPDCH is allocated to the I branch. For example, if there are four codes of DPDCH, DPDCHs are allocated to the branches in the order of (I, Q, I, Q) having OVSF codes corresponding to (CCh,4.i» Cch.4,1, Cch,4,3. Cch.4,3)- At the same time, HS-DPCCH is allocated to the Q branch.

can
uses
Here, E-DCH can use OVSF codes not based from the mother and child codes of codes corresponding to SF/4 and SF*3/4 in the I branch or the Q branch. For example, E-DCH cc use the child code of code corresponding to SF/2. In the same manner, if DPDCH different number of codes, by using the same principle, OVSF code allocation for E-DCH can be employed.
[0045] Table 1 summarizes the allocation of E-DPDCHs using I/Q branch mapping based on DPDCH and whether HS-DSCH is configured for the UE. Although the number of DPDCH is limited to one in the table, there can be more than one DPDCHs. In Table 1, 'j' relates to designation to the Q branch while ' 1' relates to designation to the I branch.
[Table 1]

(Table Remove)
[0046] In a situation where a user equipment (UE) is configured to HS-DSCH and E-DCH, High Speed Dedicated Physical Control Channel (HS-DPCCH) first allocates OVSF codes according to the existing order of allocation since the UE has to transmit HS-DPCCH in the uplink direction. The existing order of allocation include, for example,
allocating the first DPDCH to the I branch.

[0047] If IIS-DSCH is configured to a UE, E-DPCCH and DPDCH along with E-DPDCH are allocated to the I branch while DPCCH and HS-DPCCH are allocated to the Q branch. However, if HS-DSCH is not configured to a UE and DPDCH are allocated to the I branch while DPCCH and E-DPDCIl are allocated to the Q branch.
[0048] It will be apparent lo those skilled in the ait that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the inventions. Thus, it is intended that the present invention covers the modifications and variations of this invention provided they nome within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
