Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention can be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
The terms first, second and the like in the description and in the claims of the present application are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the application described herein are, for example, capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
The embodiment of the invention provides an uplink multi-beam transmission method, which is applied to a terminal side and specifically comprises the following steps as shown in fig. 1:
step 101: and reporting the terminal capability information carrying the maximum number of the transmission beams or the maximum number of the ports to the network equipment.
Since the terminal supports multi-beam transmission, when accessing the network device, the terminal transmits terminal capability information indicating the maximum number of transmission beams or the maximum number of supported ports of the terminal to the network device. The terminal capability information may further indicate other wireless capabilities of the terminal, in addition to the maximum number of transmit beams or the maximum number of supported ports of the terminal.
A terminal may be a wireless terminal or a wired terminal, and a wireless terminal may be a device providing voice and/or other service data connectivity to a user, a handheld device having a wireless connection function, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem. A wireless terminal, which may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile telephone (or "cellular" telephone) and a computer having a mobile terminal, e.g., a portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-included, or vehicle-mounted mobile device, may communicate with one or more core networks via a Radio Access Network (RAN), and may exchange language and/or data with the RAN. For example, devices such as Personal Communication Service (PCS) phones, cordless phones, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phones, Wireless Local Loop (WLL) stations, and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) are used. A wireless Terminal may also be referred to as a system, a Subscriber Unit (Subscriber Unit), a Subscriber Station (Subscriber Station), a Mobile Station (Mobile), a Remote Station (Remote Station), a Remote Terminal (Remote Terminal), an Access Terminal (Access Terminal), a User Terminal (User Terminal), a User Agent (User Agent), and a User Device or User Equipment (User Equipment), which are not limited herein.
Step 102: and receiving the beam resource identification information sent by the network equipment according to the terminal capability information.
The beam resource identification information is used for indicating a transmission beam corresponding to an uplink channel or a signal. Specifically, the beam resource identification information is used to indicate: the Physical uplink shared Channel NR-PUSCH, the Physical uplink control Channel NR-PUCCH, a Physical Random Access Channel (NR-PRACH) and the beam resource identification information of the uplink beam actually used by the Channel sounding reference signal NR-SRS. The network equipment can schedule a plurality of uplink beams actually used by the NR-PUSCH, the NR-PUCCH, the NR-PRACH and the NR-SRS for the terminal according to the terminal capability information, and send the beam resource identification information of the plurality of uplink beams to the terminal.
Step 103: and sending corresponding uplink information to the network equipment through the plurality of uplink beams indicated by the beam resource identification information.
After receiving the beam resource identification information sent by the network equipment, the terminal determines a plurality of uplink beams actually used by the NR-PUSCH, the NR-PUCCH, the NR-PRACH and the NR-SRS according to the beam resource identification information, and sends corresponding uplink information to the network equipment through the corresponding plurality of uplink beams.
In this way, in the uplink multi-beam transmission of the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal reports the terminal capability information of the terminal to the network device side, so that the network device schedules the terminal for transmitting the plurality of beams for the uplink information according to the terminal capability information, and the terminal sends the corresponding uplink information to the network device through the plurality of beams, thereby improving the reliability of the uplink transmission.
Specifically, step 102 may be implemented by: and receiving the beam resource identification information of the actually used transmission beam of the physical uplink shared channel NR-PUSCH and/or the physical uplink control channel NR-PUCCH transmitted by the network equipment through the physical downlink control channel NR-PDCCH.
And the actual used transmission beam of the NR-PUSCH and/or the NR-PUCCH is scheduled for the terminal by the network equipment according to the terminal capability information.
Specifically, first beam resource identification information of different beams corresponding to a single NR-PUSCH is carried through a single or multiple NR-PDCCHs. Wherein, the transmission beams corresponding to a plurality of code words of the NR-PUSCH are different. That is, multi-beam transmission of a single NR-PUSCH may be scheduled by a single or multiple NR-PDCCHs, with different layers (or referred to as streams or codewords) of the single NR-PUSCH corresponding to different uplink transmission beams.
Alternatively, the second beam resource identification information of different beams corresponding to the multiple NR-PUSCHs is carried by a single or multiple NR-PDCCHs. Wherein, the transmission beams corresponding to a plurality of code words of the NR-PUSCH are different. That is, multi-beam transmission of multiple NR-PUSCHs, each corresponding to a different uplink transmission beam, may be scheduled by a single or multiple NR-PDCCHs.
Further, the plurality of beams corresponding to a single NR-PUCCH corresponds to a single or a plurality of NR-PDSCHs. The transmission beams corresponding to a plurality of code words of the NR-PUCCH are different, and the code words of the NR-PDSCH corresponding to a plurality of code words of the NR-PUCCH are different. That is, multi-beam transmission of a single NR-PUCCH may correspond to a single or multiple NR-PDSCHs, with different layers (or streams) of a single NR-PUCCH corresponding to different uplink transmission beams and a single NR PDSCH codeword.
Alternatively, multiple beams for multiple NR-PUCCHs correspond to a single or multiple NR-PDSCHs. The transmission beams corresponding to a plurality of code words of the NR-PUCCH are different, and the code words of the NR-PDSCH corresponding to a plurality of code words of the NR-PUCCH are different. That is, multi-beam transmission of multiple NR-PUCCHs may correspond to a single or multiple NR-PDSCHs, where each NR-PUCCH corresponds to a different uplink transmit beam and a single NR-PDSCH codeword.
Further, step 102 specifically includes: receiving the beam resource identification information transmitted by the network equipment through the radio resource control RRC signaling or the media access control MAC layer control unit CE or the physical layer downlink control indication DCI information. And the beam resource identification information is the resource identification information of the uplink beam scheduled by the network equipment for the terminal according to the terminal capability information. That is, after receiving the report of the maximum transmission beam number capability reported by the terminal side, the network device may transmit the Resource identification information of the uplink beam actually used through an NR-PUSCH, an NR-PUCCH, a Physical Random Access Channel (NR-PRACH), and/or a Channel Sounding Signal (NR SRS) in an information indication of a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling or a Media Access Control (MAC) layer Control unit (CE, Control Element, or a Physical Downlink Control Indicator (DCI).
The foregoing describes a transmission method of uplink multi-beam, and how to ensure normal beam transmission in a beam failure or out-of-step scenario will be further described with reference to specific examples.
Specifically, before step 103, the method further includes: detecting the beam quality of a Reference Signal (RS) related to the NR-PDCCH; and if the beam quality of the RS is lower than a preset threshold value, determining that the beam of the NR-PUCCH corresponding to the NR-PDCCH fails or is out of step. That is, the terminal can determine the beam quality of a plurality of beams of the NR-PUCCH corresponding to the NR-PDCCH by monitoring the beam quality of the NR-PDCCH related Reference Signal (RS, Reference Signal) of a plurality of beams. Specifically, when the terminal monitors that the beam quality of one or more beams of the NR-PDCCH is lower than a preset threshold but does not trigger a downlink beam failure event, the terminal determines that the beam quality of the corresponding NR-PUCCH beam is also lower than the preset threshold, and the NR-PUCCH beam fails or is out of step.
It should be noted that, if the beam link pair between the terminal and the network device has reciprocity or consistency of transceiving, the NR-PDCCH and the NR-PUCCH have a default correspondence relationship. If the beam link pair between the terminal and the network device does not have reciprocity or transceiving consistency, and if the beam quality of the RS is lower than a preset threshold, before the step of determining that the beam of the NR-PUCCH corresponding to the NR-PDCCH fails or is out of synchronization, the method further includes: and acquiring the corresponding relation between the NR-PDCCH actually used beam and the NR-PUCCH actually used beam.
In the case of a beam failure or out-of-synchronization of the NR-PUCCH, step 13 includes: and transmitting indication information of beam failure or out-of-synchronization and the candidate beams of the uplink beams to the network equipment through the NR-PUCCH or the NR-PRACH in the form of beam scanning. Here, in a scenario of a beam failure or out-of-synchronization of the NR-PUCCH, the terminal sends an uplink beam failure indication or out-of-synchronization indication and a candidate NR PUCCH beam to the network device side in a form of beam scanning through the NR-PUCCH or the NR-PRACH. Preferably, the terminal performs scanning transmission by using a beam of the NR-PUCCH corresponding to the NR-PDCCH beam higher than a preset threshold value.
Or, in a scenario of a beam failure or out-of-synchronization of the NR-PUCCH, step 103 includes: and sending corresponding uplink information to the network equipment through the uplink wave beam corresponding to the NR-PDCCH which is higher than the preset threshold value. That is, in a scenario where a beam of an NR-PUCCH fails or is out of synchronization, the terminal actively switches to a beam of an NR-PUCCH corresponding to an NR-PDCCH beam higher than a preset threshold value to transmit uplink information.
As shown in fig. 2, it is assumed that the uplink and downlink between the terminal and the network device have transceiving consistency, that is, the network device or the terminal may determine a transmission beam according to a reception beam. The downlink NR-PDCCH is transmitted using beams 0, 1, 2, 3, where beams 0, 2 are serving beams and the remaining beams are monitoring beams. According to the transceiving consistency of the uplink and the downlink, the terminal determines that the corresponding transmitting wave beams of the NR-PUCCH are 0, 1, 2 and 3 in sequence, wherein the wave beam 0 is a service wave beam.
If the reference signal received power corresponding to the NR-PDCCH beam 0 is lower than the predetermined threshold, the beam 0 is blocked. Meanwhile, the receiving power of the reference signals corresponding to the NR- PDCCH beams 1, 2, and 3 is higher than a preset threshold, and the terminal may not trigger a downlink beam failure event. However, since the NR-PUCCH is transmitted using beam 0 corresponding to NR-PDCCH beam 0, an uplink beam failure phenomenon occurs if the NR-PUCCH is still transmitted using beam 0. At this time, the terminal may switch the transmission beam to beam 1, 2, or 3 for NR-PUCCH transmission; or the NR-PRACH or the NR-PUCCH is used for scanning and sending on the beams 1, 2 and 3, and the uplink beam failure indication or the out-of-step indication and the candidate beams of the NR-PUCCH are explicitly or implicitly sent to the network equipment, so that the fast recovery of the uplink beams is realized and the reliability of uplink transmission is improved under the condition that the uplink beam failure occurs.
In the uplink beam transmission method of the embodiment of the invention, the terminal reports the terminal capability information of the terminal to the network equipment side, so that the network equipment schedules the terminal for transmitting a plurality of beams for the uplink information according to the terminal capability information, and the terminal sends corresponding uplink information to the network equipment through the plurality of beams, thereby improving the reliability of uplink transmission.
