Description

Method and device for acquiring control channel resources

Technical Field

The present invention relates to Device-to-Device (D2D) mobile communication technologies, and in particular, to a method and Device for acquiring control channel resources.

Background

In a D2D communication system, when D2D data needs to be transmitted between User Equipments (UEs), the UE at the transmitting end that transmits the D2D data is directly transmitted to the UE at the receiving end through an air interface, as shown in fig. 1, where a radio link between D2D UEs is called a side link (Sidelink). For the close range communication UE applying the D2D communication mode, the D2D transmission not only saves wireless spectrum resources, but also reduces the data transmission pressure of a core network, can reduce the occupation of system resources, increase the spectrum efficiency of a cellular communication system, reduce the transmission power consumption of a terminal and save the network operation cost to a great extent.

When data transmission is directly performed between D2D UEs, a sending end UE may obtain Physical side link Control Channel (PSCCH) resources and Physical side link Shared Channel (pscsch) resources for D2D communication according to scheduling configuration of a network side, and may also compete in a given PSCCH resource pool and a PSCCH resource pool to select resources for D2D communication Control and data information transmission.

However, when the D2D UE transmits data based on PSCCH and PSCCH resources, only one-way broadcast/multicast communication is possible, the transmitting end UE blindly transmits the D2D data, and cannot know the receiving condition of the receiving end UE for the D2D data, so that the utilization rate of the side link channel resources is low.

The following describes a method for acquiring control channel resources according to an embodiment of the present invention in detail.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for acquiring control channel resources according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method for acquiring the control channel resource provided in this embodiment may be specifically executed by the receiving end UE, and specifically, the method provided in this embodiment may include:

step 101, a first UE acquires PSSCCH resources;

and 102, the first UE sends side link feedback control information on the acquired PSSCCH resource.

In step 101, the acquiring, by the first UE, the PSSCCH resource may specifically include:

the first UE receives a high-level signaling sent by a second UE or a network side device, wherein the high-level signaling comprises PSSCCH resource indication information; the first UE acquires the PSSCCH resource according to the PSSCCH resource indication information; or, the first UE receives side link Control Information (SCI) sent by the second UE, where the SCI includes PSSCCH resource indication Information; the first UE acquires the PSSCCH resource according to the PSSCCH resource indication information; or, the first UE receives the SCI sent by the second UE on the PSCCH resource, and acquires the PSCCH resource corresponding to the PSCCH resource according to a predefined PSCCH resource-PSCCH resource index relationship; or, the first UE receives data information sent by the second UE on the PSSCH resource, and acquires the PSSCCH resource corresponding to the PSSCH resource according to a predefined PSSCH resource and PSSCCH resource index relationship.

It should be noted that the higher layer signaling sent by the second UE or the network side device to the first UE may be a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message or a System Information Block (SIB) message sent by the network side device.

In this embodiment, the network side device may specifically include any one of the following devices: an Evolved Node B (eNB), a Relay Node (RN), a cell Coordination Entity (MCE), a GateWay (GateWay, GW), a Mobility Management Entity (MME), and an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (EUTRAN) Operation Management and Maintenance (OAM) manager.

When the RRC message indicates the PSSCCH resource, the PSSCCH resource indication information may be specifically included in the prosecomm config information element; when the PSSCCH resource is indicated by the SIB, the indication of the PSSCCH resource is contained in a dedicated SIB. The above-mentioned methods for acquiring the PSSCCH resource by the first UE may be combined arbitrarily without collision, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

In practical application, the PSSCCH resource indication information indicates a subframe and/or RB where the PSSCCH resource is located; or, the PSSCCH resource indication information indicates a channel index number of the PSSCCH resource.

For the case that the PSSCCH resource indication information indicates the sub-frame where the PSSCCH resource is located, optionally, the PSSCCH resource indication information may directly indicate the sub-frame number of the sub-frame where the PSSCCH resource is located, for example, indicate that the sub-frame number of the sub-frame where the PSSCCH resource is located is #2 or #8, and when a PSSCCH resource pool exists, the sub-frame indicated by the PSSCCH resource indication information should be the sub-frame in the PSSCCH resource pool.

For the case that the PSSCCH resource indication information indicates the sub-frame where the PSSCCH resource is located, optionally, the PSSCCH resource indication information may indicate a timing relationship between the sub-frame where the PSSCCH resource is located and the corresponding PSCCH resource or the sub-frame where the PSSCH resource is located.

In this embodiment, the PSCCH resource is used to carry side link feedback control information, where the side link feedback control information is directly related to side link data transmission or control indication information, for example, if the first UE indicates that it is required to report channel measurement feedback in the SCI received on the PSCCH resource, the first UE sends a CSI feedback report on the corresponding PSCCH resource; the first UE indicates PSSCH resources for side link data transmission in SCI received on PSCCH resources, and receives a D2D communication data packet on corresponding PSSCH resources according to the indication in the SCI, so that the first UE sends A/N feedback on corresponding PSSCCH resources and is used for feeding back a receiving result of the data packet to a second UE of a data sending end.

Therefore, the PSSCCH resource has a certain corresponding relation with the PSCCH resource or the PSSCH resource, and the sub-frame where the corresponding PSSCCH resource is located can be indicated through indicating the time sequence relation between the PSCCH resource and the sub-frame where the corresponding PSSCH resource or the PSSCH resource is located in the high-level signaling or SCI.

For example, the PSCCH resource or the PSCCH resource is transmitted on the subframe # n, the corresponding PSCCH resource is transmitted on the subframe # m, and the subframe interval between the subframe # n and the subframe # m is k, so that the timing relationship between the two is embodied by indicating the value of k in the RRC message or the SCI, that is, the subframe where the corresponding PSCCH resource is located can be indicated; when the PSSCCH resource pool exists, the indicated PSSCCH sub-frame should be a sub-frame included in the PSSCCH resource pool, and the above timing relationship may be described as that the indicated PSSCCH sub-frame is the sub-frame # n + k, and is subsequent to the sub-frame # n + k and is included in the first sub-frame in the PSSCCH resource pool.

Assuming that the timing relationship between the PSCCH resource of the first UE and the corresponding PSCCH resource indicated by the second UE in the RRC message is k equal to 4, that is, the subframe # m where the PSCCH resource is located is the 4 th subframe after the subframe # n where the PSCCH resource is located, as shown in fig. 3, the subframe #6 where the PSCCH resource is located, and the subframe where the corresponding PSCCH resource is located is # 0; the sub-frame #2 where the PSCCH resource is located, the sub-frame where the corresponding PSSCCH resource is located is # 6; in this embodiment, the subframe numbers are #0 to #9, # m is # n + k, and when n + k is greater than 9, m is equal to n + k, and modulo 10 is taken.

Assuming that a PSSCCH resource pool configured in the system includes a plurality of subframes, and a timing relationship between a subframe in which a PSSCCH resource of a first UE is indicated by a network side through an RRC message and a subframe in which the corresponding PSSCH resource is located is k equal to 3, a subframe # m in which the PSSCCH resource is located is a 3 rd subframe and later subframes after a subframe # n in which the PSSCH resource is located, and the subframe is included in the first subframe in the PSSCCH resource pool. As shown in fig. 4, the pscscch resource pool includes subframe #2/3 in the first radio frame, subframe #6/7 in the second radio frame, and subframe #0/1 in the 4 th radio frame. When the PSSCH resource is in the sub-frame #1 of the first radio frame, according to the time sequence relationship that k is 3, in the sub-frame #4 and the following sub-frames, the first sub-frame contained in the PSSCCH resource pool is the sub-frame where the corresponding PSSCCH resource is located, namely the sub-frame #6 in the second radio frame; when the PSSCH resource is in the sub-frame #7 of the third radio frame, according to the time sequence relationship that k is 3, in the sub-frame #0 and the following sub-frames in the 4 th radio frame, the first sub-frame contained in the PSSCCH resource pool is the sub-frame where the corresponding PSSCCH resource is located, and the sub-frame #0 in the 4 th radio frame is the sub-frame in the PSSCCH resource pool, so that the corresponding PSSCCH sub-frame is the sub-frame # 0.

For the case that the PSSCCH resource indication information indicates the RB where the PSSCCH resource is located, optionally, the PSSCCH resource indication information indicates the RB index number of the RB where the PSSCCH resource is locatedWherein, the RB index refers to that, on the system frequency domain resource, all frequency domain resources are divided by taking RB as a unit and numbered sequentially, and each RB uniquely corresponds to one RB index (index); RB index number for PSSCCH resourcesI.e. representing RBs in the system bandwidthIs used as the pscscch resource.

For example, the second UE communicates in SCIOver-indication RB index numberThe RB where the PSSCCH resource is located is indicated to the first UE, and the first UE obtains the corresponding SCI from the RB after receiving the corresponding SCIIndicating and using within system bandwidthAs PSSCCH resources, the RB in (1) carries corresponding feedback control information and sends the feedback control information to the second UE, as shown in fig. 5.

For the case that the PSSCCH resource indication information indicates the RB where the PSSCCH resource is located, optionally, the PSSCCH resource indication information indicates the relative RB index number of the PSSCCH resource in the PSSCCH resource poolThe relative RB index in the pschs resource pool means that the defined pschs resource pool includes one or more RBs, the plurality of RBs in the resource pool may be continuous or discrete RBs in the frequency domain, and each RB uniquely corresponds to an RB index by sequentially numbering the RBs included in the pschs resource pool; relative RB index number for PSSCCH resourcesI.e. in all RBs in the pscscch resource pool,is used as the pscscch resource.

For example, the second UE indexes the relative RB index number by indicating the relative RB in the SCIIndicating the RB configuration of PSSCCH resources in a PSSCCH resource pool to the first UE, and obtaining the corresponding SCI from the first UE after the first UE receives the corresponding SCIIndicating and determining the RB of the PSSCCH resource pool As PSSCCH resources, the RB in (1) carries corresponding feedback control information and sends the feedback control information to the second UE, as shown in fig. 6.

And for the condition that the PSSCCH resource indication information indicates the channel index number of the PSSCCH resource, the first UE determines the sub-frame and/or RB where the PSSCCH resource is located according to the channel index number of the PSSCCH resource.

It should be noted that, with all available PSSCCH subframes and available RBs on each PSSCCH subframe, each PSSCCH resource includes one RB pair on one subframe, and the channel index number of each PSSCCH resource can be defined, so that the corresponding subframe and/or RB of the PSSCCH resource can be uniquely determined by the channel index number of one PSSCCH resource.

For the case that the first UE determines the sub-frame where the PSSCCH resource is located according to the channel index of the PSSCCH resource, optionally, the first UE may use the channel index of the PSSCCH resource_PSSCCHi is divided by T and carries out the operation of rounding down, and the sub-frame where the PSSCCH resource is located is determined

For the case that the first UE determines the sub-frame where the PSSCCH resource is located according to the channel index of the PSSCCH resource, optionally, the first UE may use the channel index of the PSSCCH resource_PSSCCHi is divided by T and rounded up operation is carried out to determine the sub-frame where the PSSCCH resource is located

Further, according to PSSCCH resource index number index_PSSCCHi, and system defined index_PSSCCHi and corresponding PSSCCH sub-frame # m_iRule between, i value, subframe # m can be determined as described above_iThe meaning of (b) is related to the value mode of T, and specifically comprises:

when T represents the number of sub-frames in the PSSCCH resource pool in a period, all sub-frames contained in the PSSCCH resource pool in one period are numbered as sub-frames #0, #1, # …, # T-1 in sequence, and then the PSSCCH sub-frame # m_iI.e. to subframe # i in the resource pool. The resource pool used for D2D communication may be configured according to a period, the resource pool configuration in each period is the same or is mapped cyclically according to a certain rule, and for the PSCCH and/or PSCCH resource pools, the same period is generally configured, that is, a uniform period is configured for the above three channel resource pools, and the same period starting subframe position, and in a case that no additional description is made, the period in D2D communication refers to the uniform period configuration, and may be referred to as a PSCCH resource pool period, or a PSCCH resource pool period. In addition, it is not excluded that different periods or starting positions are configured for the three channel resource pools in a special scenario.

When T denotes the number of subframes used for sidelink transmission, the subframes available for sidelink transmission are numbered sequentially as subframes #0, #1, # …, # T-1, and then PSSCCH subframe # m_iI.e. to subframe # i therein.

When T represents the number of the sub-frames in the PSCCH resource pool in the period, all the sub-frames contained in the PSCCH resource pool in one period are numbered as sub-frames #0, #1, # …, # T-1 in sequence, and then the PSSCCH sub-frame # m_iI.e. to subframe # i in the resource pool.

When T represents the number of sub-frames in the PSSCH resource pool in a period, all sub-frames contained in the PSSCH resource pool in one period are numbered as sub-frames #0, #1, # …, # T-1 in sequence, and then the PSSCCH sub-frame # m_iI.e. to subframe # i in the resource pool.

For example, the network side device indicates, by means of an RRC message, the first UE that the channel index number of the configured PSSCCH resource is index_PSSCCHi, use index in the system_PSSCCHi carries out modular operation on T and determines a sub-frame # m corresponding to the PSSCCH resource_iWherein, T is the number of sub-frames in the PSSCCH resource pool, and the first UE obtains index from the RRC message indication of the network side after receiving the RRC message indication of the network side_PSSCCHi-14 and the pscscch resource pool contains 8 subframes, as shown in fig. 7, i.e. T-8, then subframe # m of the configured pscscch resource may be determined_iComprises the following steps: i ═ index_PSSCCHimod T＝14mod 8＝6。

That is, the subframe in which the configured PSSCCH resource is located is the 7 th subframe in the PSSCCH resource pool, that is, subframe #3 in the last radio frame in fig. 7, and further, the first UE carries and sends the side link feedback control information to the second UE on the indicated PSSCCH resource.

For the case that the first UE determines the RB in which the PSSCCH resource is located according to the channel index of the PSSCCH resource, optionally, the first UE uses the channel index of the PSSCCH resource_PSSCCHi, carrying out modular operation on the F, and determining the RB index number of the PSSCCH resourceOr, determining the relative RB index number of the PSSCCH resource in a PSSCCH resource pool

Or,

for the case that the first UE determines the RB in which the PSSCCH resource is located according to the channel index of the PSSCCH resource, optionally, the first UE uses the channel index of the PSSCCH resource_PSSCCHi is divided by F and carries out the operation of rounding down, and the RB index number where the PSSCCH resource is positioned is determinedOr, determining the relative RB index number of the PSSCCH resource in a PSSCCH resource pool

Or,

Or,

For example, the second UE indicates in the SCI that the channel index number of the configured pschs resource is index for the first UE_PSSCCHi, use index in the system_PSSCCHDividing i by F rounding-down operation to determine RB of PSSCCH resource, wherein F is the number of RBs in a PSSCCH resource pool, and after receiving SCI information, the first UE obtains index from the SCI information_PSSCCHi-27 and the PSSCCH resource pool contains 10 RBs as shown in fig. 8, i.e. F-10, then the relative RB index of the configured PSSCCH resource can be determinedComprises the following steps:that is, the RB in which the pscscch resource is located is an RB with an RB index of 2 in the pscscch resource pool.

In the technical scheme, the sub-frame and/or RB resource of the configured PSSCCH resource is indicated by the channel index number indicating the PSSCCH resource, so that the resource indication overhead can be reduced, flexible resource configuration is provided, the PSSCCH resource requirement of the UE is met, and the effects of fully utilizing system resources, coordinating interference and improving the resource utilization rate are achieved.

In another implementation manner, the index relationship between the PSCCH resource and the corresponding PSCCH resource or PSCCH resource may be predefined, so that the corresponding PSCCH resource may be obtained according to the PSCCH resource or PSCCH resource; namely, the sub-frame and/or RB resource of the PSSCCH resource is determined according to the predefined index relation between the PSCCH/PSSCH resource and the corresponding PSSCCH resource, so that the corresponding PSSCCH resource can be implicitly indicated for the first UE without any signaling indication overhead, the resource indication overhead is greatly reduced, meanwhile, more flexible resource configuration is provided, the PSSCCH resource requirement of the UE is met, the system resource is fully utilized, the interference is coordinated, and the resource utilization rate is improved.

Optionally, the first UE may determine, according to the PSCCH/PSCCH resource-PSSCCH resource index relationship, a subframe where the PSCCH resource is located, corresponding to the subframe where the PSCCH resource is located.

Specifically, the system predefines a one-to-one corresponding index relationship between a sub-frame # n where the PSCCH/PSCCH resource is located and a sub-frame # m where the PSCCH resource is located, so as to form a fixed index relationship, and after the sub-frame # n receives information on the PSCCH/PSCCH resource, the first UE correspondingly carries and sends corresponding side link feedback control information on the PSCCH resource on the sub-frame # m.

Optionally, the first UE obtains a timing relationship between a subframe where the PSCCH resource is located and a subframe where the PSCCH resource is located according to the index relationship between the PSCCH/PSCCH resource and the PSCCH resource, and determines the subframe where the PSCCH resource is located according to the timing relationship.

Specifically, a relative timing relationship is predefined by the system between a sub-frame # m in which the PSCCH resource is located and a sub-frame # n in which the corresponding PSCCH/PSCCH resource is located, that is, a sub-frame interval k between the sub-frame # m and the sub-frame # n, and the sub-frame # m is the kth sub-frame after the sub-frame # n. Further, when there is a PSSCCH resource pool configuration, the indicated PSSCCH sub-frame should be a sub-frame included in the PSSCCH resource pool, and the timing relationship may be described as that the indicated PSSCCH sub-frame is the sub-frame # n + k, and is subsequent to the sub-frame # n + k and is included in the first sub-frame in the PSSCCH resource pool; and n and m are subframe serial numbers, and take a value of [ 0-9 ], so that when n + k is greater than 9, m is equal to n + k and modulo 10 is taken.

It will be appreciated that when the corresponding pscch resource comprises a plurality of sub-frames, a corresponding pscch sub-frame # m is further determined, with the first or last pscch sub-frame as sub-frame # n, among the plurality of pscch sub-frames; when multiple repeated transmissions of the same data packet are carried on corresponding PSSCH resources, the first or last PSSCH sub-frame is taken as a sub-frame # n in a plurality of corresponding PSSCH sub-frames used for carrying multiple transmissions of the same data packet, and a corresponding PSSCCH sub-frame # m is further determined.

For example, in the TDD system, an index relationship between subframe # n and subframe # m is predefined, as shown in table one.
