Response processing method, response configuration method, information transmission method, device, terminal and base station

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a terminal, and a base station for response processing, response configuration, and information transmission.

Background

In a wireless communication system, a transmitting end and a receiving end generally use multiple antennas to transmit and receive to obtain a higher rate. One principle of the multi-antenna technology is to utilize some characteristics of a channel to form transmission matched with the characteristics of the channel, the radiation direction of a signal is very targeted, the system performance can be effectively improved, and remarkable performance improvement can be obtained on the basis of not increasing the bandwidth and the power. With the development of multi-antenna technology, it is a trend to use Beamforming (Beamforming) technology to enhance coverage of various channel signals, and especially in a high-frequency large-scale antenna system, because the path loss is large, the Beamforming technology generally needs to be adopted to ensure the basic coverage requirements of various channels; one characteristic of the beamforming technology is that the energy is very concentrated in space, and although the performance is very good when the energy is accurate, the performance is degraded once the beam direction is inaccurate, especially the beam formed in a large-scale antenna system is narrow, and although the gain is very high when the energy is very concentrated and the beam is aligned, the performance is seriously degraded when the beam is slightly deviated, and even the signal may not be completely received.

The beam forming technology is mainly applied to a data channel in a 4G LTE system, because the data channel has the characteristics that the transmission efficiency is regarded as important, the robustness can be slightly poor, a control channel is arranged in front of the data channel to perform dynamic adjustment of a transmission strategy of an indication data channel, when the beam is found out to be out of order, the beam is rapidly adjusted to a wide beam or switched to the beam, so that the serious influence is not caused, the target block error rate requirement of the data channel is not very strict, and the data channel can be retransmitted, so that the serious problem is not caused; for a Control Channel, in a low-Frequency LTE system, a Physical Control Channel generally adopts a relatively robust transmission mechanism, and does not depend on feedback of Channel State Information (abbreviated as Channel State Information), for example, a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of LTE adopts a transmission method of Space Frequency Block Code (SFBC) or a Diversity transmission mechanism of SFBC + Frequency Switching Transmit Diversity (FSTD), so that robustness is high, and high robustness is further ensured by adopting low-order modulation coding. Because the control channel does not depend on the channel information, the transmission robustness is high, the low-frequency system can work well, and the problem that the control information and the data information can not be solved completely when the communication is completely cut off (the control link and the data link can not normally communicate) generally can not occur. If only the data channel is in problem, the transmission strategy can be quickly adjusted through the control channel.

However, as the number of antennas increases, if Beamforming is used for a data channel, coverage of the data channel is greatly enhanced, but for a control channel, if a wide beam or diversity technology (e.g., SFBC) is still used for transmission in a communication system that ensures robustness, the problem of coverage asymmetry is obvious, and for a high-frequency system, the problem of coverage of high frequency is very obvious, because the coverage of high frequency is a big problem in the past, which requires using Beamforming gain of a large-scale antenna to combat a large path loss, and therefore, the control channel also needs to use a narrower beam for Beamforming transmission by using channel state information, which means that robustness of the control channel is greatly challenged; if the control also uses beamforming transmission of narrow beams, once the beams are misaligned, such as the situation of terminal moving (moving) and rotating (rotating) and because the direct Line of Sight (LOS, abbreviated as LOS) physically blocks (Blocking) the currently transmitted beams, the overall link breaking is caused, and the system performance is seriously degraded.

Multi-antenna narrow beam forming transmission may be widely applied to transmission of various channels and signals in a 5G system, such as: sending a downlink control channel; sending downlink measurement pilot frequency; sending downlink data; sending an uplink random access signal; sending an uplink measurement pilot frequency; sending an uplink control channel; uplink data channel transmission, etc.; at this time, there are several problems to be solved:

(1) Some control information which possibly causes great influence on the subsequent long-time transmission exists in the control information, and when the information is lost, a sending end does not realize that the information is lost, so that the information of the sending and receiving end is inconsistent in the subsequent transmission process in a period of time, errors are consistent and continuous, and more serious performance loss is caused;

one example is that, during beam switching, the base station notifies a switching signaling through Downlink Control Information (DCI), and if this Information is not received, an understanding error occurs in a transmission beam in a later period of time;

another example is that the base station performs uplink power control through DCI, and when this information is not received, the base station considers that the terminal has adjusted the transmission power, but actually the terminal is not adjusted, and at this time, some transmission decisions made by the base station for the uplink will cause problems, and erroneous uplink scheduling, MCS decision, and layer decision may occur;

(2) When the transmission chain breakage occurs in the system, the position and the degree of the chain breakage can not be accurately judged; when a transmission problem occurs at a sending end, whether a control channel or a data channel has a problem or whether an uplink problem or a downlink problem or all the problems have a problem cannot be accurately judged;

for example, in one case, the base station triggers the terminal to perform uplink data transmission, but the base station does not receive uplink transmission data, and at this time, there may be a problem with a downlink control channel or a problem with an uplink data channel, but the base station does not know where the problem occurs;

in another case, the base station performs downlink transmission, but does not receive terminal feedback Acknowledgement information (ACK)/Negative Acknowledgement information (NACK), and at this time, the base station does not know whether downlink authorization information of a downlink control channel is not detected correctly or whether an ACK/NACK is fed back on an uplink control channel, which both may cause the base station not to receive the ACK/NACK information;

in addition, there are some similar situations, for example, the base station triggers the uplink CSI feedback but does not receive the uplink CSI feedback, at this time, the base station does not know that the downlink triggering signaling terminal does not receive the uplink CSI feedback, or that a problem occurs when the uplink CSI feedback is received, for example, the terminal sends a Scheduling Request (Scheduling Request, abbreviated as SR) Request but does not receive Scheduling information, and the terminal does not know that the problem occurs when the SR Request is sent or that the Scheduling information cannot be received due to downlink control channel link loss.

For the convenience of understanding the above embodiments, the following detailed description is given.

In step S204, the receiving end detects physical layer control information; the receiving end can be a terminal or a base station, and the control information corresponds to downlink control information or uplink control information respectively at the moment;

if the downlink control information is the downlink control information, the terminal can preferably perform blind detection, and the terminal detects the downlink control information of the physical layer according to an agreed blind detection method and searches in different search spaces; if the uplink control information exists, blind detection on the position is not needed, the searching space is fixed, and whether the uplink control information exists or not is detected directly at the corresponding position;

there are many kinds of information with different functions in the Physical Control information, taking LTE as an example, the Downlink Control information mainly includes the following categories (1) that transmit Downlink scheduling information (referred to as DL Assignment in 36.321) to the UE, so that the UE receives a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDSCH for short); (2) Sending uplink scheduling information (called UL Grant in 36.321) to the UE so that the UE can send PUSCH; (3) Sending a request for reporting an aperiodic Channel Quality Indicator (CQI); (4) notifying the multipoint control channel MCCH change; (5) sending an uplink power control command; (6) Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) related information; (7) pilot frequency configuration; the uplink control information mainly includes HARQ related information, CSI feedback information, including beam index (BI for short), precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI for short), rank Indicator (RI for short), CQI, etc., and scheduling request SR information, etc.;

it should be noted that, as LTE evolves, control information may continuously increase, and some control information with new action may also appear in 5G, and the new action control information is also applicable to the above embodiments.

In step S204, the receiving end determines whether a response needs to be sent to the sending end according to the predetermined information; wherein the predetermined information may be a type of the control information; the types of control information include: public control information; proprietary control information; alternative methods of judgment are shown in table 1 below:

table 1 correspondence table i for type of control information and response determination result

Type of control information	Answer judgment result
		Public control information	Without requiring an answer
Proprietary control information	Need to respond

Whether or not the proprietary control information requires a response may also be combined with other conditions, for example, as shown in table 2 below:

table 2 correspondence table ii of types of control information and response determination results

In step 206, when the determination result is that a response is required, a physical layer response signaling is sent; the physical layer acknowledgement signaling may be sent on a physical control channel or may be sent on some resources in a physical shared (data) channel

It should be noted that, in step 204, it is determined whether a response needs to be sent to the sending end according to the predetermined information; the predetermined condition may also be a Format of control information (DCI Format); some of the more common DCI formats for control information in LTE, for example, include the following:

TABLE 3 DCI Format for Downlink grant

/>

/>

DCI Format of uplink grant: the method mainly comprises DCI Format0 and DCI Format 4; the former is used for single antenna transmission, and the latter is used for uplink multi-antenna transmission.

According to the above common DCI format, the optional determination method is shown in table 4, table 5, and table 6 below:

table 4 correspondence table i for control information format and response determination result

Control information format	Answer judgment result
		DCI Fromat 1,1A,1D	Without requiring an answer
DCI format 2，2A,2B,2C	Need to respond

TABLE 5 control information format and answer judgment result correspondence table II

Control information format	Answer judgment result
		DCI Format0	Without requiring an answer
DCI Format 4	Need to respond

TABLE 6 control information Format and answer judgment result correspondence table III

In general, whether a response is required may be determined according to the Format of the control information; which format needs to be responded may be configured by the sending end through signaling or predetermined by the sending and receiving ends

In addition to the above-mentioned Format of the downlink control information, the Format may be used to determine whether an acknowledgement is required, and the Format of the uplink control information UCI may also be used to determine whether an acknowledgement is required.

It should be noted that, in step 204, it is determined whether a response needs to be sent to the sending end according to the predetermined information; the predetermined condition may also be content included in the control information; if some contents are contained, the answer is judged, for example, the contents can be: uplink authorization control information; power control information; feeding back trigger control information; pilot frequency triggering control information; and (4) random access control.

For example, it may be determined whether a response is required in some manner as follows:

setting a condition that the content of the control information comprises uplink authorization control information, and if the condition is met, responding to a sending end;

setting a condition that the content of the control information comprises power control information, and if the condition is met, responding to a sending end;

setting a condition that the content of the control information comprises feedback trigger control information, and if the condition is met, responding to a sending end;

the condition that the control information content comprises pilot frequency trigger control is set, and if the condition is met, a response needs to be sent to a sending end

Setting a condition that the content of the control information comprises random access control, and if the condition is met, responding to a sending end;

some combination of the above conditions is also possible; what control information content needs to be responded may be configured by the sending end through signaling or may be predetermined by the sending and receiving ends.

It should be noted that, in step 204, it is determined whether a response needs to be sent to the sending end according to the predetermined information; the predetermined condition may also be a scrambling mode of the control information;

scrambling can be carried out in different modes when the control information is sent, the common scrambling mode is scrambling by using RNTI, and DCI can indicate information at a cell level (scrambling by using SI-RNTI/P-RNTI/RA-RNTI) and information at a UE level (scrambling by using C-RNTI/SPS C-RNTI/Temporary C-RNTI);

the receiving end needs descrambling during detection, so that if the control information can be correctly detected, the scrambling information can be correctly obtained, and the scrambling information can be used for judging whether response is needed or not;

in the above embodiment, which scrambling modes of the control information need to be responded may be configured by the sending end through signaling, or may be predetermined by the receiving and sending ends.

It should be noted that, in step 204, it is determined whether a response needs to be sent to the sending end according to the predetermined information; the predetermined condition may also be a control area to which the control information belongs; the system has a plurality of control areas, the plurality of control areas can be different time-frequency resource positions, different transmission technologies, different transmission parameters, different transmission structures and the like, different sending/receiving modes and the like, and a receiving end can determine whether to answer or not according to the control area where the control information is located;

generally, transmitting a more robust region may not require a response, and transmitting a less robust region may require feedback of response information in some cases, for example, the alternative determination method is shown in table 7 or table 8 below:

TABLE 7 control information area and control information area correspondence table one

Control information area	Control information area
		Control area 1	Without requiring an answer
Control area 2	Need to respond

Table 8 control information area and control information area correspondence table two

The predetermined condition may refer to some conditions mentioned in other embodiments, and what control information of the control region needs to be responded may be configured by the sending end through signaling, or may be predetermined by the transceiving end.

It should be noted that, in step 204, it is determined whether a response needs to be sent to the sending end according to the predetermined information; wherein, the predetermined condition may also be an aggregation level of the control information; the aggregation level refers to the number of control transmission resource units used in control information transmission, and the higher the aggregation level is used, the more important the information is likely to be transmitted, wherein the optional determination method is shown in table 9 below:

table 9 control information aggregation level and response determination result correspondence table one

Control information aggregation level	Answer judgment result
		1,2,4	Without requiring an answer
8,16	Need to respond

Yet another consideration is that errors are likely to occur when using smaller aggregation level transmissions, so it is also possible that as shown in table 10:

table 10 control information aggregation level and response determination result correspondence table two

Control information aggregation level	Answer judgment result
		1,2	Need to respond
4,8,16	Without requiring an answer

Similarly, whether or not a response is required may be determined according to the coding or modulation scheme, as shown in table 11 or table 12:

TABLE 11 control information coding type and response judgment result correspondence table one

Control information coding type	Answer judgment result
		Convolutional code	Without requiring an answer
Polarization code	Need to respond

TABLE 12 control information coding type and answer judging result correspondence table II

Control information coding rate	Answer judgment result
		Code rate 1/3	Without requiring an answer
Code rate 1/2	Need to respond

Similarly, whether or not a response is required may be determined according to the modulation scheme, as shown in table 13:

table 13 modulation method of control information and response judgment result correspondence table

Modulation mode of control information	Answer judgment result
		QPSK	Without requiring an answer
BPSK	Need to respond

In the above embodiment, which aggregation levels of the control information need to be responded may be configured by the sending end through signaling, or may be predetermined by the receiving and sending end; the modulation mode of which control information needs to be responded can be configured by a sending end through signaling or can be predetermined by a receiving end; the coding mode of the control information to be responded may be configured by the sending end through signaling, or may be predetermined by the receiving and sending ends.

It should be noted that, in step 204, it is determined whether a response needs to be sent to the sending end according to the predetermined information; the predetermined condition may also be a time domain unit to which the control information belongs; the optional determination method is shown in table 14, table 15, table 16, or table 17 below:

table 14 time domain unit to which control information belongs and response determination result correspondence table one

Time domain unit to which control information belongs	Answer judgment result
		Odd number of time slots	Without requiring an answer

Time domain unit to which control information belongs	Answer judgment result
		TTI/subframe group 1	Without requiring an answer

		TTI/subframe group 3	Need to respond

In the foregoing embodiment, which subframe groups of the control information need to be responded may be configured by the sending end through signaling, or may be predetermined by the receiving and sending ends.

It should be noted that, in step 204, it is determined whether a response needs to be sent to the sending end according to the predetermined information; the predetermined condition may also be a transmission technology or a transmission mode; the robustness of different transmission technologies/transmission modes is different, therefore, some non-robust transmission technologies/transmission modes need to respond, because the error probability is higher, and the optional judgment method is as shown in table 18, table 19 or table 20 below:

table 18 transmission technique/mode of control information and response judgment result correspondence table one

Transmission techniques/modes of control information	Answer judgment result
		Diversity	Without requiring an answer
Beam forming	Need to respond

TABLE 19 transmission technique/mode of control information and answer judgment result correspondence table II

Multi-layer transmission	Need to respond

Table 20 transmission technique/mode of control information and response determination result correspondence table three

Transmission techniques/modes of control information	Answer judgment result
		Single beam transmission	Need to respond
Multi-beam transmission	Without requiring an answer

In the above embodiment, which transmission technologies/modes of the control information need to be responded may be configured by the sending end through signaling, or may be predetermined by the receiving and sending end;

for uplink, the UE also needs to send necessary uplink L1/L2 control information to support uplink and downlink data transmission. The Uplink Control Information (UCI) includes

SR (Scheduling Request): for requesting uplink UL-SCH resources from the eNodeB.

HARQ ACK/NACK: HARQ acknowledgement is performed for downlink data transmitted on the PDSCH.

CSI: the Channel State Information includes CQI, PMI, RI and other Information. To inform the eNodeB of the downlink channel quality, etc., to assist the eNodeB in downlink scheduling.

The UCI Format mainly comprises the above components; different PUCCH formats may also exist, for example, there are some PUCCH formats in LTE, where the formats are not UCI formats, but have some relationship with them, and different PUCCH formats correspond to different transmission technologies, and may also be understood as different transmission modes, as shown in table 21:

table 21 PUCCH Format and transmission technology correspondence table

According to the transmission mode shown in table 21, a judgment manner is shown in table 22 below;

table 22 correspondence table of transmission technique/mode of control information and result of response judgment

Transmission techniques/modes of control information	Answer judgment result
		PUCCH 1/1a/1b/3	Need to respond
PUCCH 2/2a/2b	Without requiring an answer

It should be noted that, in step 204, it is determined whether a response needs to be sent to the sending end according to the predetermined information; the predetermined condition may also be an overhead of the control information; alternative judgment methods are shown in table 23 below;

table 23 correspondence table of overhead of control information and response determination result

Overhead of control information	Answer judgment result
		Less than N bit	Without requiring an answer
Nbit or more	Need to respond

In the above embodiment, what overhead size needs to be responded may be configured by the sending end through signaling, for example, where N may be configured by the base station, or may be predetermined by the sending and receiving end

It should be noted that, in step 304, the receiving end determines whether a predetermined condition is satisfied, where the predetermined condition may be set as the following condition, and if satisfied, the receiving end needs to respond to the sending end;

the conditions may be set as: the control message does not trigger the data information from the receiving end to the transmitting end; that is, after the sending end sends the control signaling, the receiving end does not receive the indication of the information and starts some uplink transmission, such as the transmission of uplink data information or the transmission of uplink control information, so the base station does not determine whether the downlink control information is received according to the receiving condition of the uplink information, and at this time, a response needs to be made to the downlink control information

It should be noted that, in step 304, the receiving end determines whether the predetermined condition is satisfied, wherein the predetermined condition may be set as the following condition, and if so, the receiving end needs to respond to the sending end;

the conditions may be set as: the control message comprises a transmission mode switching indication; the transmission mode comprises a sending mode and a receiving mode, wherein the sending mode comprises sending beams; the receiving mode comprises receiving beams

The time unit affected by the transmission mode switching indication is not only the time unit where the current control information is transmitted, but also the transmission in a subsequent time range may be affected, so that if the control information is lost, the transmission in a longer time period has problems, and whether the control information is correctly received needs to be confirmed;

in order to better guarantee the reliability of transmission, if the response information corresponding to the control message containing the beam switching indication information is on the beam after switching; that is, the beam switching indication information is also used to determine the transmission resource of the uplink response message;

the conditions may be set as: the control message is the aggregation of a plurality of control information corresponding to a plurality of time domain transmission units;

at this time, because the control information corresponding to the multiple time domain transmission units is aggregated, for example, an indication message indicating whether the detection of the multiple data blocks is correct or not, or channel quality information on the multiple time domain units, etc., because the number is large, the influence is large if the transmission is lost, and a response needs to be made to the transmission;

similarly, the conditions may be set as: the control message is the aggregation of a plurality of control messages corresponding to a plurality of frequency domain carriers;

similarly, the conditions may be set as follows: the control message is the aggregation of a plurality of control messages corresponding to a plurality of transmission nodes;

similarly, the conditions may be set as follows: the control message is the aggregation of a plurality of control messages corresponding to a plurality of cells;

when one or more of the above conditions are met, a response is required;

it should be noted that, in step 306, when the determination result is that a response is required, a physical layer response signaling is sent; the physical layer acknowledgement signaling may be sent on a physical control channel or may be sent on some resources in a physical shared (data) channel; wherein the state set of the response signaling comprises: { ACK }; or { ACK, NACK }

For some control information, the receiving end cannot know whether the control information is transmitted or not, so the receiving end feeds back the ACK information only when the control information is detected; the receiving end can not distinguish that the sending end does not send or the sending end sends but the receiving end does not have a detection pair, so that response indication information is not fed back in both cases;

for some control information, at a specific position, the receiving end can know in advance that the sending end sends the control information, but does not detect the control information, which means that the receiving end does not determine the right, and needs to feed back NACK information at the moment, and if the right is determined, feeds back ACK information;

the determination of the set of answer states may be determined from some of the information mentioned above;

it should be noted that, in step 306, when the determination result is that a response is required, a physical layer response signaling is sent; the physical layer acknowledgement signaling may be sent on a physical control channel or may be sent on some resources in a physical shared (data) channel;

how to send the response message of control also has multiple modes, correspond to different transmission parameters, including transmission resource parameter; a transmission power; a transmission technique; a multiplexing mode; the number of transmissions, etc.;

these transmission parameters, preferably related to predetermined information, are different for different predetermined information;

such as: the location of the transmission resources may be different, and the amount of the used resources is different;

the magnitude of the transmission power may also be different;

some transmission techniques use single-beam, some use multi-beam transmission; it is also possible to have diversity transmission and beam mode transmission;

there are also many multiplexing methods, such as frequency division multiplexing, code division multiplexing, time division multiplexing, etc.;

there may be a plurality of transmission times, some are single transmission, some are multiple-shot (multi-shot);

the transmission parameter of the response message can be determined according to the preset message;

the method comprises the following steps: determining transmission parameters of the response message according to the type of the control information; the types of different control information correspond to different response message transmission parameters;

determining transmission parameters of the response message according to a Format (DCI/UCI Format) of the control information; different control information formats correspond to different response message transmission parameters;

determining transmission parameters of the response message according to the content contained in the control information; the content contained in different control information corresponds to different response message transmission parameters;

determining transmission parameters of the response message according to the scrambling mode of the control information; different control information scrambling modes correspond to different response message transmission parameters;

determining a transmission parameter of the response message according to the control area to which the control information belongs; the control areas to which different control information belongs correspond to different response message transmission parameters;

determining transmission parameters of the response message according to the aggregation level of the control information; the aggregation levels of different control information correspond to different response message transmission parameters;

determining the transmission parameters of the response message according to the modulation and/or coding mode of the control information; the contents contained in the modulation and/or coding modes of different control information correspond to different response message transmission parameters;

determining the transmission parameter of the response message according to the time domain unit (e.g TTI) to which the control information belongs; the time domain units to which different control information belongs correspond to different response message transmission parameters;

determining transmission parameters of the response message according to the overhead of the control information; the overhead of different control information corresponds to different response message transmission parameters;

and determining the transmission parameters of the response message according to the combination of the information.

The embodiment provides a solution for the problem that the broken link position cannot be accurately known and the problem that the subsequent transmission is influenced by the loss of important information cannot be accurately known in the high-frequency communication based on beam transmission, so that the optimal recovery can be rapidly and accurately carried out on the broken link position and degree, and the continuous performance loss caused by the loss of the important information can be avoided.
