Description

Method for sending and receiving uplink control information, terminal and network equipment

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method, a terminal, and a network device for transmitting and receiving uplink control information.

Background

In a communication system, such as a 4G communication system and a 5G communication system, a user needs to feed back some Information to a base station, and the Information fed back is generally referred to as Uplink Control Information (UCI). The UCI in 5G typically contains the following information:

1. scheduling Request (SR);

2. hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) ACK/NACK;

3. channel State Information (CSI);

4. beam management/recovery related information (Beam management/recovery related information).

In addition, the priority (priority) of different information in UCI is different, and generally, the priority of HARQ ACK/NACK is the highest, and the CSI is lower when SR is the second information related to beam management/recovery. The priority here refers to the importance of UCI information, and higher importance indicates higher required demodulation accuracy.

The UCI may be transmitted on a PUCCH (physical uplink control channel) or a PUSCH (physical uplink shared channel) for transmitting uplink control signaling, and when the UCI is transmitted on the PUSCH, the UCI and the uplink data channel are multiplexed and then transmitted, which is beneficial to keep low PAPR (Peak to Average Power Ratio) and small intermodulation distortion of the uplink transmission signal, which is very helpful for an uplink DFT-s-OFDM system (Discrete Fourier Transform-Spread OFDM, i.e., Discrete Fourier Transform Spread OFDM system) to cover, because when the UCI is transmitted on the PUCCH, the PUCCH and the PUSCH are transmitted in a frequency division multiplexing manner, which will raise PAPR of the transmission signal and increase intermodulation distortion, both of which require larger Power backoff, and this will result in coverage reduction.

On the other hand, 5G will support full band access for low frequencies (less than 6GHz band) + high frequencies (6GHz-100 GHz). Phase noise is due to local oscillator non-idealities. Random fluctuations in the output value of a frequency source caused by random white noise, flicker noise, etc. inside the frequency source are called phase noise, and describe all the causes of output frequency variation in a short time, which is a measure of the signal sideband frequency spectrum noise. In a real environment, phase noise cannot be avoided in the output process of a frequency source, and the problem of phase noise in a high frequency band is very prominent. Compared with a low-frequency-band communication system smaller than 6GHz, the 6GHz-100GHz high-frequency-band communication system has the advantages that the frequency multiplication frequency of a reference clock source is greatly increased, and the phase noise is correspondingly and greatly increased due to the influence factors such as the process level and the power consumption of a high-frequency device. The phase noise may deteriorate SNR (signal to noise ratio) or EVM (error vector magnitude) at the receiving end, causing a large amount of bit errors, thereby directly limiting the use of high-order constellation modulation and seriously affecting the system capacity.

Therefore, 5G introduces Phase-Tracking Reference Signal (PTRS) exclusively for high-band communication, and is used for estimation and compensation of Phase noise, Carrier Frequency Offset (CFO), Doppler shift (Doppler shift). Since phase noise is a combined effect caused by instability of both base station and user side frequency sources, PTRS is required both upstream and downstream.

As shown in fig. 1, when DFT-s-OFDM is used for the uplink waveform of 5G high frequency communication, both PTRS and UCI are inserted in the time domain before DFT operation (i.e., Pre-DFT) at the transmitting end.

PTRS are inserted in a block-like manner in the Pre-DFT, called chunk-based, i.e. several PTRSs are consecutive in time domain, called a group of chunks, and then several groups of chunks within one DFT-s-OFDM symbol length.

Let the number of chunk be X, and the number of consecutive PTRS in chunk be K, then when X is 2 and K is 4, insert PTRS in one DFT-s-OFDM symbol length as shown in fig. 2;

in the LTE system, the time domain position of UCI is close to the time domain position of DMRS (demodulation reference signal) to ensure the optimal demodulation performance of UCI.

5G proposes the concept of PTRS (phase tracking reference signal) which is used for estimation and compensation of phase noise, carrier frequency offset. When the DFT-s-OFDM is adopted for the uplink waveform of 5G high-frequency communication, PTRS and UCI are both placed at time domain positions before DFT (discrete Fourier transform) operation is carried out on a transmitting end. However, how to design the temporal location of the UCI is a problem to be solved.

While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may 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 disclosure to those skilled in the art.

In 5G communication, the position of DMRS is changed, namely front-loaded DMRS is introduced, namely the DMRS is placed at the initial position of a subframe to ensure rapid demodulation, and additional DMRS (additional DMRS) can be introduced to track rapid change of a channel in high-speed movement. Meanwhile, in high-frequency communication of more than 6GHz, PTRS is specially introduced by 5G to track the phase change.

The embodiment of the invention provides a UCI (uplink control information) sending method aiming at the problem of UCI sending in an uplink DFT-s-OFDM system of 5G NR high-frequency band communication.

As shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for sending uplink control information, including:

step 31, inserting uplink control information UCI into a symbol for transmitting uplink control information UCI at a time domain position adjacent to a time domain position of a phase tracking reference signal PTRS or a time domain position adjacent to a time domain position of a demodulation reference signal DMRS and a time domain position of the PTRS;

and 42, transmitting the UCI at the time domain position inserted with the UCI.

According to the scheme of the invention, in the symbol for sending the uplink control information UCI, the uplink control information UCI is inserted into the time domain position adjacent to the time domain position of the phase tracking reference signal PTRS or the time domain positions of the demodulation reference signals DMRS and PTRS; transmitting the UCI at the time-domain location where the UCI is inserted. Therefore, the demodulation accuracy of UCI is effectively ensured, and the accuracy of DMRS channel estimation and the accuracy of PTRS phase noise estimation can be simultaneously utilized.

In this embodiment of the present invention, step 31 may be specifically implemented by the following steps:

inserting uplink control information UCI at a time domain position adjacent to a time domain position of a phase tracking reference signal PTRS or a time domain position adjacent to a time domain position of a demodulation reference signal DMRS and the PTRS according to the priority of the UCI;

as shown in fig. 4, according to the priority of information contained in UCI, UCI is simultaneously placed close to DMRS and PTRS; in fig. 4, 4 PTRS drainage patterns are shown from top to bottom, where the PTRS is located in time domain positions including: the starting and ending positions of one DFT-s-OFDM symbol; the middle and end positions of one DFT-s-OFDM symbol; the starting and middle positions of one DFT-s-OFDM symbol; and dividing one DFT-s-OFDM symbol into X equal parts and then placing the PTRS at the middle of each equal part.

In the figure, the time domain positions of UCI in the 4 PTRS emission patterns are located: time domain locations adjacent to the PTRS and/or to the DMRS and PTRS, where the time domain location is one time domain sample point in one DFT-s-OFDM symbol shown in the figure, and in addition, the figure is an example, several PTRS are called a set of chunks, and then several sets of chunks within one DFT-s-OFDM symbol length. Let the number of chunk groups be X and the number of consecutive PTRS in a group be K, then X is 2 and K is 2, but the arrangement of PTRS and UCI is not limited to this.

Specifically, in the UCIs with different priorities, the UCI with the first priority is inserted into the time domain position of the PTRS or the time domain position adjacent to the time domain positions of the DMRS and the PTRS, and the UCI with the second priority is inserted into the time domain position adjacent to the time domain position where the UCI with the first priority is located; the first priority is greater than the second priority, and the first priority and the second priority are respectively any one of a plurality of different priorities. That is, the higher the priority of UCI, the closer to DMRS and/or PTRS; the lower the priority of UCI, the farther away from DMRS and/or PTRS.

As shown in fig. 5, if UCI is to be placed in a DFT-s-OFDM symbol far away from DMRS and the symbol contains PTRS, fig. 5 shows 4 PTRS discharge patterns from top to bottom, respectively the start and end positions of one DFT-s-OFDM symbol; a DFT-s-OFDM symbol middle and end position; one DFT-s-OFDM symbol start and middle position; and dividing one DFT-s-OFDM symbol into X equal parts and then placing the PTRS at the middle of each equal part.

Also, the figure shows the UCI placement pattern in the PTRS discharge pattern in these 5.

In the figure, the time domain position is one time domain sample point in one DFT-s-OFDM symbol shown in the figure, and in addition, the figure is an example that several PTRSs are called a set of chunks (blocks) and then several sets of chunks are within one DFT-s-OFDM symbol length. Let the number of chunk groups be X and the number of consecutive PTRS in a group be K, then X is 2 and K is 2, but the arrangement of PTRS and UCI is not limited to this.

In the figure, when a plurality of UCIs are inserted, a UCI with a high priority is preferentially inserted at a position adjacent to the PTRS, and UCIs with a low priority are sequentially inserted to time domain positions in a direction away from the PTRS;

for example, in two consecutive UCIs, the UCI adjacent to the PTRS has a higher priority than the UCI farther from the PTRS.

The UCI herein may include: one or more of SR/beam management/recovery related information, HARQ ACK/NACK and CSI, wherein the HARQ ACK/NACK has the highest priority, and the SR is next to the beam management/recovery related information and the CSI is lower.

In the above fig. 4 and 5, when the time domain position where the UCI is inserted includes a plurality of time domain sampling points for transmitting the UCI, the plurality of time domain sampling points for transmitting the UCI are inserted in the vicinity of the time domain position of the phase tracking reference signal PTRS or the vicinity of the time domain positions of the demodulation reference signals DMRS and PTRS in a centralized or distributed mapping manner at time domain positions adjacent to the time domain position of the phase tracking reference signal PTRS or the time domain positions of the demodulation reference signals DMRS and PTRS.

For example, two consecutive UCIs are inserted at time domain positions adjacent to the PTRS, which may be referred to as UCI centralized arrangement;

for another example, one of the two UCI is inserted into an adjacent time domain position before the PTRS, and the other UCI is inserted into an adjacent time domain position after the PTRS, which may be referred to as a distributed arrangement of UCI.

In the above embodiment of the present invention, in a symbol of the system frame for transmitting uplink control information UCI, if an original time domain position where the UCI is located is a fixed position, a time domain position shifted by an offset from the original time domain position of the UCI in a direction of a time domain position of a phase tracking reference signal PTRS or time domain positions of demodulation reference signals DMRS and PTRS is used as the time domain position of the UCI; and the offset is less than or equal to the original time domain position of the UCI and the time domain position of the PTRS or the time domain position number between the DMRS and the time domain position of the PTRS. The offset is indicated by an indication signaling sent by the network device, where the indication signaling includes: radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, Medium Access Control (MAC) control unit (MAC CE) signaling and/or Downlink Control Information (DCI) signaling.

For the body, as shown in fig. 6, if the UCI is placed in a fixed manner, such as distributed and equally spaced, an offset is defined, which is used to move the UCI as close to the DMRS and/or PTRS as possible.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the UCI may also be placed at a position close to the DMRS according to the priority of the UCI, and the UCI is inserted into a symbol for transmitting the uplink control information UCI at a time domain position adjacent to a time domain position of the demodulation reference signal DMRS;

as shown in fig. 7 and 8, UCI is inserted into a schematic diagram, where the upper diagram in fig. 7 is the case where DMRS is front-loaded, and fig. 8 is the case of additional DMRS (X ═ 2, K ═ 2)

In the above embodiment of the present invention, if the UCI overlaps or collides with the time domain position of the PTRS at the time domain position of the symbol, the time domain position of the UCI is shifted and/or the time domain position of the PTRS is shifted, or the overlapping or colliding portion of the UCI and the PTRS is deleted and/or the overlapping or colliding portion of the PTRS and the UCI is deleted, so as to avoid collision between the UCI and the PTRS.

In the above embodiment of the present invention, the time domain position of the UCI may be determined by the terminal receiving an indication signaling sent by the network device, where the indication signaling is used to indicate the time domain position of the UCI in a symbol used for sending uplink control information UCI in the system frame; the indication signaling comprises: radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, Medium Access Control (MAC) control unit (MAC CE) signaling and/or Downlink Control Information (DCI) signaling.

Or, a time domain position of the UCI in a symbol for transmitting uplink control information UCI in the system frame may be preset, so that signaling indication overhead may be saved.

The time domain position of the UCI herein is the time domain position of the UCI determined by the method described in each embodiment, that is, the uplink control information UCI is inserted into the time domain position adjacent to the time domain position of the phase tracking reference signal PTRS or the time domain positions of the demodulation reference signals DMRS and PTRS.
