Detailed ways

In the prior art, there is no clear solution to indicate which symbols are used when generating the cyclic prefix extension.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the number N of target symbols is determined from the received configuration information. According to the configuration information, it can be determined which target symbols are used, and then a cyclic prefix extension is generated according to the determined target symbols. Thus, the scheme in this application can determine the target symbol used and generate a cyclic prefix extension.

In order to make the above objects, features and beneficial effects of the present invention more clearly understood, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for generating a cyclic prefix extension. Referring to FIG. 1 , the following describes in detail through specific steps.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the cyclic prefix extension generation method provided by the following steps S101 to S102 may be executed by the user equipment. Specifically, the following steps S101 to S102 may be performed by a baseband chip in the user equipment, or performed by a chip module including a baseband chip in the user equipment.

Step S101, receiving configuration information.

In a specific implementation, the configuration information may be used to indicate the number N of borrowed symbols. The configuration information can be issued by the base station through high-level signaling, can also be issued by downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI), or can be issued by other types of signaling such as MAC CE. The high-layer signaling may be radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) signaling.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the borrowed symbol may be a symbol used for transmitting data information. In side link communication, one slot (slot) contains 14 symbols, which may include one gap symbol (Gap symbol) or two gap symbols. When one time slot does not include the Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH), one time slot can include one gap symbol; when one time slot includes PSFCH, one time slot can Includes 2 gap symbols.

Therefore, in 1 slot, not necessarily all 14 symbols can be used for sidelink transmission. Specifically, the number of symbols that can be configured for side link communication can be configured by high-layer signaling. For the convenience of discussion, these symbols that can be used for sidelink communication are referred to as sidelink symbols in the present invention. Specifically, in addition to the gap symbols, other side link symbols in 1 slot can be used for side link information transmission.

In the following discussion, for the convenience of discussion, it is assumed that all 14 symbols in a time slot are configured as side link symbols. However, the embodiment can also be simply extended to the case of other side link symbols.

Specifically, when one time slot does not include the PSFCH, except for one gap symbol, the remaining 13 symbols are used to carry the Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH). When 1 time slot includes PSFCH, except for 2 gap symbols, part of the remaining 12 symbols can be used to transmit PSSCH, and the other part is used to transmit PSFCH.

Referring to FIG. 2 , a schematic diagram of symbol distribution corresponding to one time slot in side link communication is given. Referring to FIG. 3 , a schematic diagram of symbol distribution corresponding to a time slot in another side link communication is given.

In FIG. 2, one time slot in side link communication includes 1 gap symbol (Gap), and the remaining 13 symbols are used to carry PSSCH. In FIG. 3 , one time slot in the side link communication includes 2 gap symbols (Gap), two symbols are used to carry the PSFCH, and the remaining 10 symbols are used to carry the PSSCH.

In a specific implementation, when cyclic prefix extension is introduced in side link communication, the use of gap symbols may be prioritized. If the duration of the gap symbol is not long enough to perform the listen-before-talk operation, the symbol adjacent to the gap symbol for transmitting data information may be borrowed, and the above-mentioned borrowed symbol is simply referred to as the target symbol.

Step S102: Generate the cyclic prefix extension according to the configuration information.

In a specific implementation, the cyclic prefix extension may be generated according to the received configuration information. It can be known from the above embodiment that the number of gap symbols corresponding to one time slot in side link communication may be one or two, therefore, the number of gap symbols corresponding to one time slot may be obtained first. Afterwards, the cyclic prefix extension is generated according to the configuration information, the cyclic prefix extension type and the number of gap symbols.

In this embodiment of the present invention, when the number of gap symbols corresponding to one time slot is 1, the number of target symbols is determined according to the value of Ci carried in the configuration information, and which symbols need to be borrowed. Adjacent to the gap symbol, and both are located before the gap symbol, or both are located after the gap symbol.

According to the cyclic prefix extension type, the duration of listening before talking (LBT) can be determined. In practical applications, the cyclic prefix extension types may include the following types: C1 type, C2 type, C3 type and C4 type, where the time domain length (duration) corresponding to the C1 type is symbol_length-16μs, and the time corresponding to the C2 type The domain length is symbol_length-25μs, the time domain length corresponding to the C3 type is symbol_length-16μs-TA, and the time domain length corresponding to the C4 type is symbol_length-25μs-TA. All of the above CPE types may be supported in sidelink, or only some of them may be supported. Which Ci type cyclic prefix extension is supported can be indicated by higher layer signaling, or DCI, or MAC-CE.

In this embodiment of the present invention, a corresponding listening-before-speaking duration may be determined according to the cyclic prefix extension type. For example, corresponding to the cyclic prefix extension of type C1, the corresponding listening-before-speaking duration is 16 μs; correspondingly, corresponding to the cyclic prefix extension of C2 type, the corresponding listening-before-speaking duration is 25 μs; corresponding to C3 Type cyclic prefix extension, the corresponding listening-before-speaking duration is 16 μs; correspondingly, corresponding to the C4 type cyclic prefix extension, the corresponding listening-before-speaking duration is 25 μs.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the configuration information delivered by the base station may carry values corresponding to different cyclic prefix extension types. When the value corresponding to a certain cyclic prefix extension type is 3, it means that the number of target symbols is N=3-1=2. When the value corresponding to a certain cyclic prefix extension type is 2, it means that the number of target symbols is N=1. When the value corresponding to a certain cyclic prefix extension type is 1, the number of target symbols is 0, that is, no target symbols are required. It should be noted that the target symbol can no longer be used to transmit PSSCH or PSFCH.

In a specific implementation, after the number N of the borrowed target symbols is determined, the total duration T corresponding to the gap symbols and the target symbols can be determined. Set the duration of listening before speaking as T1. In the total duration T, the first T1 duration is used for listening before speaking, and the remaining T-T1 duration is compared with the cyclic prefix in the next symbol used to transmit data information. combined to generate a cyclic prefix extension. Furthermore, the target symbol cannot be used for PSSCH or PSFCH transmission.

In this embodiment of the present invention, if the gap symbol is located in the last symbol of a time slot, the target symbol may be the N symbols before the last symbol, or the first N symbols of the adjacent next time slot. If the target symbol is the N symbols before the last symbol, in the total duration of the gap symbol and the adjacent N symbols before it, remove the duration occupied by listen-before-talk and/or TA, and the remaining The duration is combined with the cyclic prefix of the first symbol of the next time slot to generate a cyclic prefix extension; if the target symbol is the first N symbols of the adjacent next time slot, when the gap symbol and the adjacent next time slot From the total duration of the first N symbols of the slot, remove the duration occupied by listen-before-talk and/or TA, and combine the remaining duration with the cyclic prefix of the N+1th symbol of the next slot to generate a cyclic prefix extension .

For example, when the cyclic prefix extension type used is C1 type, the gap symbol is set to be the last symbol of slot 1, and the target symbol is one symbol before the last symbol, that is, the gap symbol is the one in slot 1. The 14th symbol, the target symbol is the 13th symbol in slot 1. In the total duration corresponding to the 13th symbol and the 14th symbol, the duration occupied by listening first and then speaking, and listening first and then speaking is 16 μs, and the remaining time is the same as that of the first symbol of the adjacent next slot. The cyclic prefixes are combined to generate a cyclic prefix extension. At this time, the thirteenth symbol in the time slot may not be used to carry data information.

For another example, when the cyclic prefix extension type used is the C2 type, the gap symbol is set to be located in the last symbol of time slot 1, and the target symbol is the first symbol of the adjacent next time slot, that is, the gap symbol is the 14th symbol in slot 1, and the target symbol is the 1st symbol in slot 2. Within the total duration corresponding to the gap symbol and the first symbol of time slot 2, the time occupied by listening first and then talking, listening first and then talking is 25 μs, and the remaining time is the same as the cyclic prefix of the second symbol of time slot 2. Combined to generate cyclic prefix extension.

In a specific implementation, when the number of gap symbols corresponding to one time slot is 2, the number of target symbols is determined according to the specific value of the Ci type carried in the configuration information, and then it is determined which symbols need to be borrowed. The target symbol is adjacent to the gap symbol, either before the gap symbol, or both after the gap symbol.

In this embodiment of the present invention, when the number of gap symbols corresponding to one time slot is 2, the target symbol may be adjacent to and before the first gap symbol, and the target symbol may also be the same as the first gap symbol. adjacent to and after the first gap symbol. Correspondingly, the target symbol may also be adjacent to the second gap symbol and located before the second gap symbol, and the target symbol may also be adjacent to the second gap symbol and located after the second gap symbol.

The specific case where the number of slot symbols corresponding to one time slot is 1 will be described below by way of example.

The subcarrier spacing is set to 60KHz, and the cyclic prefix extension type is C2 type. In practical applications, when the subcarrier spacing is 60KHz, among the 14 symbols corresponding to one time slot, the duration of the first symbol is 18.36 μs, and the duration of the remaining 13 symbols is 17.84 μs.

Referring to FIG. 14, a schematic diagram of generating a cyclic prefix extension in an embodiment of the present invention is given. Referring to FIG. 15 , a schematic diagram of another cyclic prefix extension generation in an embodiment of the present invention is given.

In FIG. 14 , the value of the C2 type carried in the configuration information is set to 2, and then the number of target symbols is determined to be 1. The gap symbol is located in the 14th symbol of slot 1, and the target symbol is determined to be the 13th symbol of slot 1. In the total duration corresponding to the 13th symbol and the 14th symbol in slot 1, the first 25μs duration is used for LBT operation, and the remaining time is generated with the cyclic prefix in the first symbol of slot 2. Cyclic prefix extension .

In FIG. 15 , the value of the C2 type carried in the configuration information is set to 2, and then the number of target symbols is determined to be 1. The slot symbol is located in the 14th symbol of slot 1, and the target symbol is determined to be the first symbol of slot 2. In the total duration corresponding to the 14th symbol in slot 1 and the first symbol in slot 2, the first 25μs duration is used for LBT operation, and the remaining time corresponds to the cyclic prefix in the second symbol in slot 2 Generate cyclic prefix expansion.

It can be understood that, for different subcarrier intervals and different cyclic prefix extension types, the generation of the corresponding cyclic prefix extension may refer to the foregoing FIG. 14 and the foregoing FIG.

The specific situation when the number of gap symbols corresponding to one time slot is 2 is described below.

The subcarrier spacing is set to 60KHz, and the cyclic prefix extension type is C3 type. In practical applications, when the subcarrier spacing is 60KHz, among the 14 symbols corresponding to one time slot, the duration of the first symbol is 18.36 μs, and the duration of the remaining 13 symbols is 17.84 μs.
