In the prior art, when performing uplink transmission in an unlicensed frequency band, a base station first transmits scheduling information to a user terminal (e.g., a mobile phone), where the scheduling information carries subframe location information capable of carrying uplink data and time-frequency resource location information allocated to the user terminal, so that the user terminal can transmit uplink data on corresponding time-frequency resources in subframes capable of carrying uplink data, that is, the base station can allocate a subframe to a plurality of user terminals, each user terminal can occupy part of the time-frequency resources of the subframe to transmit uplink data, after receiving the scheduling information, the user terminal performs LBT on the subframe capable of carrying uplink data, and when the user terminal performs LBT on a subframe successfully, the user terminal transmits uplink data to the base station through the corresponding time-frequency resources on the subframe, after the user terminal fails to perform LBT on a subframe, the user terminal does not send uplink data to the base station through the subframe, and after the process, in the subframes capable of bearing the uplink data, the uplink data of the user terminal is borne on the time-frequency resources in some subframes, the uplink data of the user terminal is not borne on the time-frequency resources in some subframes, and the user terminal sends the uplink data to the base station through the corresponding time-frequency resources on the subframes which succeed in LBT.
The base station comprises a CU and a DU, and the CU and the DU correspond to different protocol stack functions respectively according to different splitting modes of a protocol stack, after a user terminal sends uplink data to the base station through a subframe capable of bearing the uplink data, the DU in the base station processes all data on the subframe capable of bearing the uplink data according to the corresponding protocol stack function, wherein the DU does not decode and/or demodulate the data when processing the data, the DU needs to send the processed data to the CU after processing the data, when sending the data to the CU, a forward transmission bandwidth needs to be allocated to each subframe capable of bearing the uplink data, namely, a certain forward transmission bandwidth can be occupied by a time-frequency resource for successfully sending the uplink and a certain forward transmission bandwidth can be occupied by an uplink time-frequency resource for unsuccessfully sending due to unsuccessful LBT, for example, a certain forward transmission bandwidth can be occupied by the uplink time-frequency resource for unsuccessfully sending the uplink time-frequency resource for successfully sending the LBT, specifically, the Uplink time-frequency resource includes an Uplink time-frequency resource which cannot be transmitted by a corresponding PUSCH (Physical Uplink shared Channel) due to an UL grant (Uplink grant) being not transmitted due to a DL (downlink) LBT failure, and an Uplink time-frequency resource which cannot be transmitted by a PUSCH due to a UL LBT failure, and therefore, a certain waste is caused to a forward bandwidth.
In view of the above problems in the prior art, embodiments of the present invention provide a data processing method, in which uplink data on a subframe carrying the uplink data is determined to be uplink fronthaul data, so that time-frequency resources that are not successfully transmitted do not occupy fronthaul bandwidth, thereby saving fronthaul bandwidth resources.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a data processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applied to a base station including a CU and a DU, and as shown in fig. 1, the method includes the following steps:
101. the CU sends scheduling information to the DU. The scheduling information includes subframe location information capable of carrying uplink data and location information of different time-frequency resources in the subframe location.
Specifically, when performing uplink transmission in the unlicensed frequency band, the base station needs to send scheduling information to the user terminal, and the user terminal can bear uplink data on corresponding time-frequency resources according to the scheduling information, so that the scheduling information sent to each user terminal records location information of a subframe capable of bearing the uplink data and time-frequency resource location information of the uplink data bearing the user terminal, and in order to enable the DU to accurately and quickly find a subframe likely to bear the uplink data and a time-frequency resource location likely to bear the uplink data, so as to improve the processing speed of the DU, the CU sends the scheduling information to the DU, and the DU can quickly find the subframe and the time-frequency resource likely to bear the uplink data according to the scheduling information.
In one possible embodiment, the subframe location information includes at least one of the following subframe location information: subframe position information on ePUCCH (Extended Physical Uplink Control Channel), subframe position information on sPUCCH (Short Physical Uplink Control Channel), subframe position information on PUSCH, subframe position information on SRS (Sounding Reference Signal), or subframe position information on scrach (Short Physical Random Access Channel).
It should be noted that, according to different splitting modes of the protocol stack, the CU and the DU respectively correspond to different protocol stack functions, where the protocol stack refers to the sum of protocols of each layer, i.e. CU and DU correspond to different layer protocol functions, respectively, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an uplink data processing flow provided by an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, a plurality of layer protocols are included, and CUs and DUs correspond to different layer protocols respectively, for example, the DU corresponding to the right protocol of the mode Option6, the CU corresponding to the left protocol of the Option6, or DU corresponding to the protocol on the right side of the Option7, CU corresponding to the protocol on the left side of the Option7, after the DU receives the uplink data, the DU processes the uplink data according to the corresponding protocol stack function, and then determining the uplink data as uplink forwarding data and sending the uplink forwarding data to the CU, and processing the uplink forwarding data by the CU according to a corresponding protocol stack of the CU.
Note that the CU and the DU may be connected by a wired method, for example, a wired method such as a copper wire or an optical fiber, or may be connected by a wireless method, and may be specifically set according to actual needs, and are not limited herein.
102. And the DU determines the uplink data on the time-frequency resource bearing the uplink data as uplink forwarding data according to the subframe position information capable of bearing the uplink data and the different time-frequency resource position information in the subframe position.
Specifically, because the DU knows the position information of the subframe capable of carrying the uplink data and the position information of the different time-frequency resources at the subframe position, the DU can directly find the time-frequency resources capable of carrying the uplink data, because some time-frequency resources of the uplink data carry the uplink data and some time-frequency resources of the uplink data do not carry the uplink data in the subframe capable of carrying the uplink data, in order to avoid wasting the forward bandwidth resources, when determining the uplink forward data, in the subframe capable of carrying the uplink data, the uplink data on the time-frequency resources carrying the uplink data is determined to be the uplink forward data, at this time, the uplink forward data only includes the uplink data successfully transmitted by the user terminal and does not include the uplink data not transmitted by the user terminal, that is, only the uplink data of the user terminal which correctly receives the UL grant and successfully receives the UL LBT occupies the forward bandwidth, however, uplink data of the ue that does not transmit the UL grant (e.g., the subframe where the UL grant is located cannot be transmitted due to DL LBT), or that has not received the UL grant correctly or that has failed UL LBT does not occupy the forwarding bandwidth.
103. And the DU sends the uplink forwarding data to the CU.
Specifically, the uplink forwarding data only includes uplink data successfully sent by the user terminal and does not include uplink data not sent by the user terminal, so that when the DU sends the uplink forwarding data to the CU, the uplink data not sent does not occupy the forwarding bandwidth, thereby saving the forwarding bandwidth resource.
In a possible implementation manner, fig. 3 is a flowchart of a method for implementing step 102 according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, when step 102 is implemented, the method may include the following steps:
301. and the DU detects the time-frequency resources at the corresponding position according to the subframe position information capable of bearing the uplink data and the different time-frequency resource position information in the subframe position to obtain a detection result. And the detection result is used for indicating whether each subframe bears uplink data or not and which time-frequency resources in the subframe bearing the uplink data bear the uplink data.
Specifically, the uplink data is carried in the scheduled time-frequency resource, so that the scheduled time-frequency resource can be detected when the time-frequency resource at the corresponding position is detected.
302. And the DU determines the uplink data on the time-frequency resource bearing the uplink data in the subframe bearing the uplink data as uplink forward transmission data according to the detection result.
In a possible implementation manner, fig. 4 is a flowchart of a method for implementing step 301 according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, when step 301 is implemented, the method may include the following steps:
401. and the DU carries out energy detection on the time-frequency resources at the corresponding positions according to the subframe position information capable of bearing the uplink data and the different time-frequency resource position information in the subframe position. When the energy value is higher than or equal to the first preset threshold, step 402 is executed, and when the energy value is lower than the first preset threshold, step 403 is executed.
Specifically, when the energy value is higher than or equal to a first preset threshold, it indicates that the time-frequency resource carries uplink data, and when the energy value is lower than the first preset threshold, it indicates that the time-frequency resource does not carry uplink data.
It should be noted that the value of the first preset threshold is set according to actual needs, and is not specifically limited herein.
402. And the DU determines the time frequency resource with the energy value higher than or equal to a first preset threshold as the time frequency resource carrying the uplink data.
403. And the DU determines the time-frequency resource with the energy value lower than the first preset threshold as the time-frequency resource without bearing the uplink data.
After steps 401 to 403, the DU may determine which time-frequency resources carry uplink data and which time-frequency resources do not carry uplink data, so that the determined uplink fronthaul data only includes uplink data successfully sent by the user terminal and does not include uplink data unsuccessfully sent by the user terminal, and further the unsuccessfully sent uplink data does not occupy fronthaul bandwidth, thereby saving fronthaul bandwidth resources.
In another possible implementation manner, fig. 5 is a flowchart of another method for implementing step 301 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 5, when implementing step 301, the method may include the following steps:
501. and the DU carries out correlation detection on the time-frequency resources at the corresponding positions according to the subframe position information capable of bearing the uplink data and the different time-frequency resource position information in the subframe position to obtain correlation values. When the correlation value is higher than or equal to the second preset threshold, step 502 is performed, and when the correlation value is lower than the second preset threshold, step 503 is performed.
Specifically, during the correlation detection, the DU performs conjugate multiplication operation using a known demodulation reference signal and demodulation reference signals corresponding to different time-frequency resources in each subframe to obtain a correlation value, and when the correlation value is higher than or equal to a second preset threshold, it indicates that uplink data is carried on the time-frequency resource, and when the correlation value is lower than the second preset threshold, it indicates that no uplink data is carried on the time-frequency resource.
It should be noted that the value of the second preset threshold is set according to actual needs, and is not specifically limited herein
502. And the DU determines the time frequency resource with the correlation value higher than or equal to a second preset threshold as the time frequency resource carrying the uplink data.
503. And the DU determines the time frequency resource with the correlation value lower than the second preset threshold as the time frequency resource without bearing the uplink data.
After steps 501 to 503, the DU may determine which time-frequency resources carry uplink data and which time-frequency resources do not carry uplink data, so that the determined uplink fronthaul data only includes uplink data successfully transmitted by the user terminal and does not include uplink data unsuccessfully transmitted by the user terminal, and further the unsuccessfully transmitted uplink data does not occupy fronthaul bandwidth, thereby saving fronthaul bandwidth resources.
In a feasible implementation manner, the scheduling information may further include UL grant transmission time-frequency resource location information and UL grant scheduled uplink time-frequency resource location information, the DU determines whether the time-frequency resource carries uplink data, and may determine whether the subframe where the UL grant is located is successfully transmitted according to the DL LBT condition, and if the subframe where the UL grant is located is not successfully transmitted, the time-frequency resource corresponding to the scheduled uplink data is not in the uplink fronthaul data, and further may determine whether the time-frequency resource carries the uplink data according to this principle.
It should be noted that, it is determined whether uplink data and the energy detection or the related detection are carried on the time-frequency resource for separate use or for combined use according to the DL LBT condition, and the specific condition is set according to the actual requirement.
In a feasible implementation manner, fig. 6 is a flowchart of another data processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, in order to enable a CU to process uplink data on different time-frequency resources in different subframes by using a corresponding processing manner, after step 102 is executed, as shown in fig. 6, the method further includes:
601. and the DU generates indication information according to the position of the time-frequency resource carrying the uplink data. The indication information is used for indicating the position number of the time-frequency resource which is corresponding to the uplink forwarding data and bears the uplink data.
602. The DU sends the indication information to the CUs.
603. And the CU processes the uplink forwarding data by adopting a corresponding processing mode according to the indication information.
Specifically, when processing uplink fronthaul data corresponding to uplink data on different time-frequency resources in different subframes, different processing manners are adopted, for example, in the same subframe, when processing uplink fronthaul data corresponding to uplink data on the time-frequency resource 1 and uplink fronthaul data corresponding to uplink data on the time-frequency resource 2, that is, when processing uplink fronthaul data corresponding to uplink data on the time-frequency resource 1 and uplink fronthaul data corresponding to uplink data on the time-frequency resource 2, different processing manners are adopted, so that when processing uplink fronthaul data corresponding to uplink data on time-frequency resources in different subframes, a CU needs to obtain a position number of the time-frequency resource bearing the uplink data, and determines a corresponding data processing manner according to the position number, so that the CU can indicate information according to the position number, and processing uplink forwarding data corresponding to the uplink data on the time-frequency resources at different positions by adopting corresponding processing modes.
In an embodiment, fig. 7 is a flowchart of another method for implementing step 103 according to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to enable a CU to process uplink data on different time-frequency resources in different subframes by using a corresponding processing method, as shown in fig. 7, when step 103 is implemented, the method includes the following steps:
701. and the DU identifies the uplink forward data according to the position of the time-frequency resource bearing the uplink data. The identifier of the uplink fronthaul data is used for indicating the position number of the time-frequency resource which bears the uplink data and corresponds to the uplink fronthaul data.
Illustratively, when the position number of the time-frequency resource carrying the uplink data is 1, the uplink fronthaul data corresponding to the uplink data on the time-frequency resource carrying the uplink data is marked as 1, and when the position number of the time-frequency resource carrying the uplink data is 2, the uplink fronthaul data corresponding to the uplink data on the time-frequency resource carrying the uplink data is marked as 2.
702. And the DU sends the identified uplink forward data to the CU.
703. And the CU processes the uplink forwarding data by adopting a corresponding processing mode according to the identification on the uplink forwarding data.
Specifically, when processing uplink forwarding data corresponding to uplink data on different time-frequency resources in different subframes, different processing manners are adopted, for example, in the same subframe, the processing modes of uplink forward data corresponding to the uplink data of the time frequency resource 1 and uplink forward data corresponding to the uplink data of the time frequency resource 2 are different, namely, when processing the uplink forwarding data corresponding to the uplink data on the time-frequency resource 1 and the uplink forwarding data corresponding to the uplink data on the time-frequency resource 2, different processing modes are adopted, therefore, when processing uplink fronthaul data corresponding to uplink data on time-frequency resources in different subframes, a CU needs to acquire a position number of the time-frequency resource carrying the uplink data, and determining a corresponding data processing mode according to the position number so as to process the corresponding uplink forwarding data by adopting the corresponding processing mode.
To further illustrate the technical idea of the present invention, a technical solution of the present invention is now described with reference to a specific application scenario, specifically, taking a MulteFire system as an example, a base station in the MulteFire system includes a CU and a DU, fig. 8 is a flowchart of another data processing method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 8, the method includes the following steps:
801. CU sends subframe location of SUL (scheduled uplink, based on scheduled uplink transmission) and time-frequency resource location information of physical uplink channel at each subframe location to DU.
The physical uplink channel comprises: ePUCCH, sPUCCH, PUSCH, SRS, or sRACH.
802. And the DU detects the corresponding time-frequency resources according to the subframe position of the SUL and the time-frequency resource position information of the physical uplink channel at each subframe position.
The corresponding time-frequency resource detection includes energy detection or correlation detection, and the specific implementation method of the energy detection and the correlation detection is described in detail above and will not be described in detail here.
803. And the DU feeds back the detection result to the CU.
For example, as shown in fig. 2, when the DU performs option7, when the DU detects that an energy value on a PUSCH of a certain time-frequency resource is smaller than a preset threshold, the DU feeds back to the CU that the time-frequency resource does not carry uplink data, that is, the user terminal fails LBT on a subframe corresponding to the time-frequency resource, and when the DU detects that the energy value on the PUSCH of the certain time-frequency resource is higher than or equal to the preset threshold, the DU feeds back to the CU that the time-frequency resource carries uplink data, that is, the user terminal succeeds LBT on the subframe. For example, the detection result may be a position number of a time-frequency resource carrying uplink data corresponding to the uplink fronthaul data.
804. And the DU takes the uplink data on the time-frequency resource bearing the uplink data as uplink forward-transmission data to forward the uplink data to the CU.
Specifically, the uplink forwarding data only includes uplink data carried on a subframe where the LBT of the user terminal is successful, so that the waste of the forwarding bandwidth resource can be avoided during forwarding.
805. And the CU processes the uplink forwarding data by adopting a corresponding processing mode according to the detection result.
To further illustrate the technical idea of the present invention, a technical solution of the present invention is now described with reference to a specific application scenario, specifically, taking a MulteFire system as an example, a base station in the MulteFire system includes a CU and a DU, fig. 9 is a flowchart of another data processing method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 9, the method includes the following steps:
901. the CU sends the subframe location of the gu (non-scheduled uplink transmission) of each user terminal, the time-frequency resource location information of the physical uplink channel corresponding to each subframe, and information such as corresponding activation/deactivation.
The physical uplink channel comprises: ePUCCH, sPUCCH, PUSCH, SRS, or sRACH.
902. And the DU detects the corresponding time-frequency resource position in the GUL activated state according to the subframe position of the GUL, the time-frequency resource position information of the physical uplink channel corresponding to each subframe, activation/deactivation and other information.
The detection on the corresponding time-frequency resource position includes energy detection or correlation detection, and the specific implementation method of the energy detection and the correlation detection is described in detail above and is not described in detail herein.
903. And the DU feeds back the detection result to the CU.
For example, as shown in fig. 2, when the DU performs option7, when the DU detects that an energy value on a PUSCH of a certain time-frequency resource is smaller than a preset threshold, the DU feeds back to the CU that the time-frequency resource does not carry uplink data, that is, the user terminal fails LBT on a subframe corresponding to the time-frequency resource, and when the DU detects that the energy value on the PUSCH of the certain time-frequency resource is higher than or equal to the preset threshold, the DU feeds back to the CU that the time-frequency resource carries uplink data, that is, the user terminal succeeds LBT on the subframe. For example, the detection result may be a position number of a time-frequency resource carrying uplink data corresponding to the uplink fronthaul data.
904. And the DU takes the uplink data on the time-frequency resource bearing the uplink data as uplink forward-transmission data to forward the uplink data to the CU.
Specifically, the uplink forwarding data only includes uplink data carried on a subframe where the LBT of the user terminal is successful, so that the waste of the forwarding bandwidth resource can be avoided during forwarding.
905. And the CU processes the uplink forwarding data by adopting a corresponding processing mode according to the detection result.
