In wireless communication systems such as Long Term Evolution (LTE), Long Term Evolution-advanced (LTE-a), and New Radio technology (New Radio, NR), a reference signal is needed between a base station and a terminal to estimate a channel, so that the base station preferentially allocates a resource with better quality to the terminal, thereby ensuring the service quality of the terminal.

In the prior art, a reference signal may be carried on resources allocated to a time-frequency unit corresponding to a plurality of scheduling time units (e.g., time slots or subframes), and the allocated resources occupy a full frequency band of the time-frequency unit, so that channels on all subcarriers of the time-frequency unit may be estimated by the reference signal, and accuracy of channel estimation is ensured.

The terminal 102 may also be a cellular phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a handheld device with wireless communication capability, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, and a Mobile station in a future 5G Network or a terminal device in a future evolved Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) Network, etc.

In this embodiment, the network device 101 may allocate a resource for a reference signal, and the network device 101 sends the reference signal to the terminal 102 through the allocated resource, and the terminal 102 estimates a channel on a subcarrier on the allocated resource through the received reference signal; or, the terminal 102 sends the Reference Signal to the network device 101 through the allocated resource, and the network device 101 estimates, for example, a Channel on a subcarrier on the allocated resource through the received Reference Signal, where in this embodiment of the present application, the Reference Signal may be a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS), a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), and the like.

In this embodiment of the application, a time frequency unit may include one or more Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs), and a pilot pattern of the time frequency unit may include a first configuration type, a second configuration type, a third configuration type, and a fourth configuration type.

Specifically, the resource occupied by the port on the time-frequency unit may be according to a function m ═ f (k, n), where m denotes the resource occupied by the port on the time-frequency unit, k denotes an absolute sequence number of a scheduling time unit, n denotes a port number, and the function m ═ f (k, n) may further include a modulo operation.

For another example, f \u_1sttype(k) Is a first order linear function with respect to k, f __1sttype(k)＝k，g__1sttype(n) may be a pseudo-random function:

when port n is 1, g \u_1sttype(n) 1; on the time frequency unit corresponding to the time slot number k ═ 1 of the system, the resource m _ \ occupied by the port n ═ 1_1sttype(k +1) mod 4 ═ 1+1) mod 4 ═ 2; on the time frequency unit corresponding to the time slot number k ═ 2 of the system, the resource m _ \occupiedby the port n ═ 1_1sttype(k +1) mod 4 ═ 2+1) mod 4 ═ 3; on the time frequency unit corresponding to the time slot number k ═ 3 of the system, the resource m _occupiedby the port n ═ 1_1sttype(k +1) mod 4 ═ 3+1) mod 4 ═ 0; on the time frequency unit corresponding to the time slot number k-4 of the system, the resource m _, occupied by the port n-1_1sttype(k + n) mod 4 ═ 4+1) mod 4 ═ 1; on the time frequency unit corresponding to the time slot number k-5 of the system, the resource m _, occupied by the port n-1_1sttype(k + n) mod 4 ═ 5+1) mod 4 ═ 2, and the like.

It can be understood that f \u_1sttype(k) May be a pseudo-random function, and g \u_1sttype(n) may be a linear function of first order with respect to n, or f __1sttype(k)、g__1sttypeThe (n) may be all pseudo random functions, etc., and will not be described herein. In addition, it should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present application, any function that determines resources occupied by a port according to an absolute sequence number of a scheduling time unit, so that a frequency band occupied by the port on a time frequency unit corresponding to N consecutive scheduling time units is a full frequency band of the time frequency unit, which all belongs to the protection scope of the present application, where N may be the number of ports supported by the time frequency unit, and N is greater than 1.

The time frequency unit can support eight ports, and in each PRB, there are two comb teeth, two cyclic shifts, and two sets of Orthogonal cover codes of time domain (TD-OCC). In the ports covered by the first group of TD-OCCs, two ports can share one comb, and in each comb, the two ports are distinguished through two different cyclic shifts. In the ports covered by the second group of TD-OCCs, two ports can share one comb, and in each comb, the two ports are distinguished through two different cyclic shifts.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the determining function (9) of the resources occupied by the ports covered by the first group TD-OCC and the first group FD-OCC on the time frequency unit is the same as the determining function (10) of the resources occupied by the ports covered by the first group TD-OCC and the second group FD-OCC on the time frequency unit; the determined function (11) of the resources occupied by the ports covered by the second group of TD-OCCs and the first group of FD-OCCs on the time-frequency unit is the same as the determined function (12) of the resources occupied by the ports covered by the second group of TD-OCCs and the second group of FD-OCCs on the time-frequency unit. The resource determination function may be the same or different between the first and second sets of TD-OCCs, i.e., (9) (10) and (11) (12) may be the same or different.

Based on the above concept that resources occupied by ports in time frequency units of different configuration types can be determined based on the absolute sequence number of a scheduling time unit, i.e., the timeslot number of the system, the present application provides a time frequency resource configuration method, which refers to the flowchart of the method shown in fig. 2, including but not limited to the following steps.

S201, the network device sends first information to the terminal, where the first information may include an absolute sequence number of a scheduling time unit.

S202, the terminal determines the resources occupied by the target port on the target time frequency unit according to the absolute sequence number of the scheduling time unit. The target port may be scheduled to the terminal by the network device, and the target time-frequency unit may be a time-frequency unit corresponding to the scheduling time unit.

For example, when the type of the time frequency unit is the first configuration type, the determination function that the port occupies the resource in the time frequency unit is equation (1), and the port scheduled by the network device to the terminal is port 1, if the absolute sequence number of the scheduling time unit sent by the network device to the terminal is slot number 1 of the system, the terminal determines, with reference to the embodiment shown in fig. 1A, that the port n-1 occupies the resource in the time frequency unit corresponding to the slot number k-1 of the system, and the resource may be used to carry the reference signal.

For another example, when the type of the time-frequency unit is the second configuration type, the determination function that the port occupies the resource in the time-frequency unit is equation (2), and the port scheduled by the network device to the terminal is port 1, if the absolute sequence number of the scheduling time unit sent by the network device to the terminal is slot number 1 of the system, the terminal determines, with reference to the embodiment shown in fig. 1B, that the port n-1 occupies the resource in the time-frequency unit corresponding to the slot number k-1 of the system, and so on.

It should be noted that, in this application, the network device may only schedule the absolute sequence number of one scheduling time unit each time it schedules, and the terminal may only determine, according to the absolute sequence number of the scheduling time unit, the resource occupied by the port on the target time-frequency unit corresponding to the absolute sequence number of one scheduling time unit each time. For example, the network device may schedule only one absolute sequence number of the scheduling time unit, such as the timeslot number 1 of the system, each time it schedules.

In this embodiment of the present application, the type of the time frequency unit and the determining function of the resource occupied by the port on the time frequency unit may be notified to the terminal by the network device, or may be specified in a standard or a protocol of the system, which is not limited herein.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal can determine the resources occupied by the ports according to the absolute serial numbers of the scheduling time units, so that the network equipment can schedule only one scheduling time unit at each time, and when the network reverse link data is transmitted, the network equipment can schedule the time units in time for reverse transmission, thereby improving the flexibility of scheduling the system resources.

Optionally, the first network device may further determine, according to the absolute sequence number of the scheduling time unit, resources occupied by the target port in the target time-frequency unit, where the target port may be scheduled by the second network device to the terminal, and it may be understood that the second network device may be the same as or different from the first network device. Specifically, the first network device determines, according to the type of the time-frequency unit, the determination function of the resource occupied by the target port in the time-frequency unit, and the absolute sequence number of the scheduling time unit, the resource occupied by the target port in the target time-frequency unit, and the like, where descriptions of the determination method for the resource occupied by the target port in the target time-frequency unit may be shown in fig. 1A to 1F, and are not repeated here.

Optionally, in order to avoid using OCCs for distinguishing between ports as much as possible and ensure performance of channel estimation, if the first network device schedules a target port for a terminal, the first network device preferentially schedules a port consistent with a TD-OCC corresponding to the target port for the terminal again; and if the port which is consistent with the TD-OCC corresponding to the target port is scheduled, the first network equipment schedules the port which is inconsistent with the TD-OCC corresponding to the target port for the terminal. For example, when the type of the time-frequency unit is the second type, if the target port scheduled by the first network device for the terminal is port 1 in fig. 1B, the first network device may preferentially schedule port 2, port 3, or port 4 that is consistent with the TD-OCC corresponding to port 1 for the terminal, and if the port that is consistent with the TD-OCC corresponding to port 1 is scheduled completely, the first network device may schedule port 5, port 6, port 7, or port 8 that is inconsistent with the TD-OCC corresponding to port 1 for the terminal again. When the type of the time-frequency unit is a fourth type, if the target port scheduled by the first network device for the terminal is port 1 in fig. 1E, the first network device may preferentially schedule port 2, port 3, port 4, port 5, or port 6 that are consistent with the TD-OCC corresponding to port 1 for the terminal, and if the port that is consistent with the TD-OCC corresponding to port 1 is scheduled completely, the first network device may schedule port 7, port 8, port 9, port 10, port 11, or port 12 that are inconsistent with the TD-OCC corresponding to port 1 for the terminal again.

The type of the time-frequency unit is a second type, when the first network device schedules a port consistent with the TD-OCC corresponding to the target port for the terminal, the first network device may preferentially schedule a port consistent with the TD-OCC corresponding to the target port and consistent with the cyclic shift for the terminal, and if the port consistent with the TD-OCC corresponding to the target port and consistent with the cyclic shift is scheduled, the first network device schedules a port consistent with the TD-OCC corresponding to the target port and inconsistent with the cyclic shift for the terminal. For example, when the type of the time-frequency unit is the second type, if the target port scheduled by the first network device for the terminal is port 1 in fig. 1B, the first network device may preferentially schedule port 3 for the terminal, which is consistent with the TD-OCC corresponding to port 1 and consistent with the cyclic shift, and if port 3 is already scheduled, the first network device may schedule port 2 or port 4 for the terminal, which is consistent with the TD-OCC corresponding to port 1 and inconsistent with the cyclic shift.

Optionally, in order to avoid using the OCCs for distinguishing between the ports as much as possible and ensure the performance of channel estimation, if the first network device schedules a target port for the terminal, the first network device preferentially schedules a port consistent with the FD-OCC corresponding to the target port for the terminal again; and if the port which is consistent with the FD-OCC corresponding to the target port is scheduled, the first network equipment schedules the port which is inconsistent with the FD-OCC corresponding to the target port for the terminal. For example, when the type of the time-frequency unit is the third type, if the target port scheduled by the first network device for the terminal is port 1 in fig. 1D, the first network device may preferentially schedule port 3 or port 5 that is consistent with the FD-OCC corresponding to port 1 for the terminal, and if the port that is consistent with the FD-OCC corresponding to port 1 is scheduled completely, the first network device may schedule port 2, port 4, or port 6 that is inconsistent with the FD-OCC corresponding to port 1 for the terminal.

Optionally, in order to avoid using OCCs for distinguishing between ports as much as possible and ensure performance of channel estimation, the first network device preferentially schedules a port that is consistent with both TD-OCC and FD-OCC corresponding to the target port for the terminal; if the ports corresponding to the target port and the TD-OCC and the FD-OCC are consistent, the first network equipment schedules the ports corresponding to the target port and the TD-OCC and the FD-OCC which are consistent and the FD-OCC which are inconsistent for the terminal; if the ports corresponding to the target port and the TD-OCC are consistent and the ports corresponding to the FD-OCC are inconsistent are dispatched, the first network equipment dispatches the ports corresponding to the target port and the TD-OCC and the FD-OCC for the terminal; and if the TD-OCC corresponding to the target port is inconsistent and the FD-OCC corresponding to the target port is dispatched, the first network equipment dispatches the port which is inconsistent with the TD-OCC and the FD-OCC corresponding to the target port for the terminal. For example, when the type of the time-frequency unit is a fourth type, if the target port scheduled by the first network device for the terminal is port 1 in fig. 1F, the first network device preferentially schedules port 3 or port 5 that is consistent with both TD-OCC and FD-OCC corresponding to port 1 for the terminal; if the TD-OCC and the FD-OCC corresponding to the port 1 are consistent with the port 3 or the port 5, the first network equipment schedules the port 2, the port 2 or the port 6 which is consistent with the TD-OCC and inconsistent with the FD-OCC corresponding to the port 1 for the terminal; if the ports with consistent TD-OCC and inconsistent FD-OCC corresponding to the port 1 are scheduled, the first network equipment schedules a port 7, a port 9 and a port 11 with inconsistent TD-OCC and consistent FD-OCC corresponding to the port 1 for the terminal; and if the TD-OCC corresponding to the port 1 is inconsistent and the FD-OCC corresponding to the port is scheduled completely, the first network equipment schedules a port 8, a port 10 and a port 12 which are inconsistent with the TD-OCC and the FD-OCC corresponding to the port 1 for the terminal.

Optionally, in order to avoid resource waste on the whole time-frequency unit due to that when a port is continuously scheduled to the user, other ports cannot be utilized, the first network device may further indicate a target comb that is not occupied by the target port in the time-frequency unit of the terminal, where the target port is used for transmitting a reference signal, the time-frequency unit includes a plurality of combs, and the target comb is used for data transmission.

Optionally, the time-frequency unit of the first configuration type has two comb teeth. The first network device may send indication information to the terminal, indicating that there is a target comb in the time-frequency unit, where the target comb is used for data transmission. Referring to table 1, the indication information transmitted by the first network device and the function thereof are described.

For example, as shown in fig. 1A, a target port scheduled by a first network device for transmitting a reference signal is port 1, where port 1 occupies six comb teeth on a time-frequency unit, where the six comb teeth are respectively comb teeth on subcarrier 2, subcarrier 4, subcarrier 6, subcarrier 8, subcarrier 10, and subcarrier 12, the first network device may send indication information 1 to a terminal to indicate other comb teeth on the time-frequency unit, and the comb teeth on subcarrier 1, subcarrier 3, subcarrier 5, subcarrier 7, subcarrier 9, and subcarrier 11 are used for data transmission.

If the comb teeth on the time-frequency unit are all occupied by the target port, the first network device may also send indication information 0 to the terminal, indicating that the target comb teeth are not used for data transmission on the time-frequency unit, and the like.

Optionally, the time-frequency unit of the third configuration type has three comb teeth, the first network device may send indication information to the terminal to indicate an upper comb tooth adjacent to the comb tooth occupied by the target port, or indicate a lower comb tooth adjacent to the comb tooth occupied by the target port, or indicate an upper comb tooth adjacent to the comb tooth occupied by the target port and a lower comb tooth adjacent to the comb tooth occupied by the target port as the target comb tooth, and the target comb tooth is used for data transmission. Referring to table 2, the indication information transmitted by the first network device and the function thereof are described.
