Specific embodiment

It is expected that next-generation and mobile and radio system (herein referred as the 5th generation (5G) system) have certain network characterizations, Ability, the purpose is to provide radio network architecture to wirelessly connect everyone and machine.These 5G networks substantially can be with It is the LTE advanced mobile radio access network for connecting user equipment (UE) with NodeB (eNB) network access station of evolution (RAN) and referred to as the combination of the novel RAN of new radio technology (NR) (some to be referred to as future radios access (FRA)), The novel RAN provide to UE, sensor and NR network access station or the next generation base station NodeB (referred to as gNodeB (gNB)) it Between information and data sharing it is more flexible, less concentration, more low latency access.

It is expected that NR is unified network/system, it is intended to meet various completely different performance dimensions and service.This multiplicity The multidimensional demand of change is the requirement drive by supporting different services and application.In general, NR will be advanced based on 3GPP LTE And additional new wireless access technology (" RAT ") development, to pass through improved simple and seamless wireless connection solution To enrich people's lives.The world for making the wireless connection of Internet of Things (IoT) etc. is capable of providing in quick, abundant by NR Hold and services.One of this connection requires to be that NR equipment has powerful uplink controlling mechanism can send to gNB Uplink control information (UCI) and other signalings in NR RAN to carry out the ability suitably and effectively operated.As an example, UCI may include mixed automatic retransfer/request confirmation/negative confirmation (HARQ ACK/NACK), channel quality indicator, such as The MIMO feedback of order designator (RI) or precoding matrix indicators (PMI) etc, and, the scheduling for uplink transmission Request or the relevant information for reporting and connecting control.

In LTE, if UE is just being transmitted using data or radio resource control (RRC) signaling, physics can be passed through Uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmits such UCI in the uplink, or if do not transmit using data or RRC signaling, then in the independent uplink channel of referred to as physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) as transmission UCI.Although the channel architecture and performance between LTE and NR may be dramatically different, but it is desirable to the uplink control channel of NR The link budget similar with LTE is realized in design.It is worth noting that, such as 138 912V14.0.0 of ETSI TR Exemplary NR system (its described in 3GPP TR 38.912version14.0.0, Release 14 disclosed in (2017-05) It is incorporated herein by reference) in, support multiple parameters collection (numerology) within the physical layer.Parameter set is by subcarrier Interval and the definition of cyclic prefix (CP) expense.Multiple subcarriers can be exported by the way that basic subcarrier spacing is scaled Integer N Interval.In this example, the maximum channel bandwidth of each NR carrier wave is 400MHz.Note that each NR carrier wave is at least up to All details of the channel width of 100MHz are specified all in Rel-15.At least for individual integer parameter set situation, each NR The candidate of the maximum number of subcarriers of carrier wave is 3300 or 6600, although the subsequent version that NR channel design may be standardized in 3GPP These parameters may be extended in this, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to any specific specific range.In the exemplary NR In tdd mode, sub-frame duration is fixed as 1ms and frame length is 10ms.Therefore, expansible parameter set allows using extremely Lack the flexibility of 15kHz to 480kHz subcarrier spacing.Regardless of CP expense, with 15kHz and bigger subcarrier spacing All parameter sets are directed at the character boundary of every 1ms in NR carrier wave.Therefore, compared with LTE, NR, which has, uses different sub- loads The flexibility of wave spacing, and uplink control channel used in NR must adapt to the various of referred to as " time slot " that is utilized Potential time resource.

In the various examples, for the up to same sub-carrier interval of 60kHz with common CP, time slot can be defined Time slot, for 7 or 14 OFDM symbols, 14 can be defined as to for the subcarrier spacing higher than 60kHz with common CP OFDM symbol.Time slot may include all downlinks, all uplinks, or 100 institute of example slot as shown in figure 1 Show, includes at least one downlink portion 105 and at least one uplink portion 115.In NR, time slot polymerization is supported, It can the one or more time slots of schedule data transmission leap.In addition, if needing, time slot can be further divided into 1 " small time slot " of symbol (6GHz or more) or it is aggregated to complete -1 symbol of time slot.

About NR physics UL control channel, supports at least two transmission modes: (1) UL can be transmitted in short duration Control channel；(2) UL control channel can be transmitted in long duration, i.e., is transmitted in multiple uplink channel symbols, to change Kind coverage area.In NR, long duration UL control channel is allowed to cross over related with used subcarrier spacing Multiple time slots of duration.Therefore, in various inventive embodiments, the NR PUCCH with long duration can be configured To use frequency division, time-division or code point resource (or combinations thereof) across multiple time slots, more such as following exemplary invention embodiment Described in detailed description.

Fig. 1 shows the new Radio Physics uplink control letter in UL data slot 100 with long duration One example in road (NR PUCCH).Specifically, multiple OFDM symbols can be distributed to improve link for NR PUCCH 115 The uplink coverage of budget and control channel.More specifically, for UL data slot, NR PUCCH and PUSCH can be with It is multiplexed in a manner of frequency division multiplexing (FDM).As shown in Figure 1, in order to adapt to the switching time of DL to UL and UL to DL and roundtrip propagation Delay, in NR physical downlink control channel (NR PDCCH) 105 and NR physical uplink control channel (NR PUCCH) Protective time slot (GP) 110 is inserted between 115.

With reference to Fig. 2, the exemplary NR format 200 for showing the PUCCH that multiple time slots are crossed over given frequency is shown.NR The crucial motivation of UL control channel 215 across multiple time slots is to realize the link budget similar with LTE, especially for operation ratio The system of 15kHz bigger subcarrier spacing.For example, as shown, when 60kHz subcarrier spacing be used for system operatio when, NR PUCCH215 crosses over 4 time slots, and each time slot has 14 symbols, in total the duration of 1ms.

In one embodiment of the invention, the timeslot number of NR PUCCH transmission 215 can be by higher level with UE certain party Formula is configured via radio resource control (RRC) signaling.Alternatively, it is possible in down link control information (DCI) middle finger Show the number of timeslots for NR PUCCH transmission 215.In addition, the combination of semi-static signaling and dynamic instruction can be used for informing use In the number of timeslots of NR PUCCH transmission 215.For example, the set of the number of timeslots for NR PUCCH transmission can be by higher level It is configured via NR Master Information Block (NR MIB), NR system information block (NR SIB) or RRC signaling.In certain embodiments, DCI A field in format can be used for indicating timeslot number from the set for being configured to NR PUCCH transmission 215 by higher level Amount.DCI in certain embodiments can be by NR physical downlink control channel (NR PDCCH) with public search space (CSS) or the specific search space UE (USS) carries.

In another embodiment of the invention, the NR system configured using multistage DCI, the DCI in the first order can be used for Instruction is that single or multiple time slots should be used for NR PUCCH transmission 215, and the DCI in the second level can indicate be used for The exact timeslot number (for example, 2,4 or 8) of NR PUCCH transmission.In some embodiments, multiple PUCCH lattice can be predefined Formula, wherein each format is made of the different configurations of continuous slot, with for a specific purpose or the use as indicated by DCI.It lifts For example, for the PUCCH format of specific UCI, for example, HARQ-ACK is transmitted, can be indicated as DCI grades of the first or second or Both a part of person, to improve the reliability of PUCCH format selection.Using this flexibility, gNB can pass through The instruction in DL DCI in PDCCH the short PUCCH format based on single time slot and the long PUCCH format based on multi-slot it Between dynamically switch UE, with improve coverage area or increase payload.

It in other embodiments of the invention, can be in the NR with specified multi-slot duration or short duration Different UCI types is transmitted in PUCCH, for example, HARQ-ACK feedback, scheduling request (SR) or channel state information (CSI) or Wave beam relevant information.Note that the NR PUCCH with short duration can be across 1 symbol in a time slot, that is, single Small time slot.In one example, CSI report can be in PUCCH with the transmission of 4 time-slot durations, and HARQ-ACK can be with 1 A time-slot duration or even small time slot duration or based on use model, channel/priority/bandwidth condition and select It is transmitted similar to definition scheme.Such NR PUCCH configuration can by system architecture designer predefined, dynamic select or institute It is desired.In another example, CSI report can be transmitted with 2 time-slot durations in PUCCH, and short hold can be used Continuous time (for example, small time slot duration of 1 symbol) refers to (SR) to transmit detection.

The various specific embodiments of long duration NR PUCCH are used for referring now to Fig. 3-Figure 11 description, wherein make NR PUCCH is transmitted with multiple time-slot durations in time, frequency and code domain.

In the time domain with the NR PUCCH of multiple time-slot durations

It is shown in the sequence 300 of Fig. 3 in the time domain across the long duration NR of multiple time slots of resource allocation The embodiment of PUCCH 315.According to various embodiments, the NR when NR PUCCH 315 crosses over multiple time slots, in each time slot The beginning of PUCCH and/or terminating symbol and/or duration can be polymerize based on the time slot of NR PUCCH 315 in it is each when Gap and be specifically designated.This of NR PUCCH starts and/or end point and duration can be informed by higher level (for example, coming from RRC signaling), or be instructed to from the received DCI of gNB, or combinations thereof.As shown in the example of Fig. 3, NR 315 duration of PUCCH or beginning/terminating symbol position can be different the different time-gap in polymerization time slot, this can For example depending on the control area DL size or protective time slot duration.When in one exemplary embodiment, for polymerizeing The NR PUCCH 315 of each time slot in gap starts and/or the bitmap of terminating symbol can be configured or in DCI by higher level Instruction.

In other embodiments, it is opened to reduce the signaling in terms of selecting long duration multi-slot NR PUCCH configuration Pin, the starting of each time slot and/or terminating symbol can be identical in each of polymerization time slot.In such case Under, it is only necessary to inform that one of NR PUCCH starts and/or terminating symbol position is for configuring, and NR PUCCH will for across Each time slot in more NR PUCCH specified polymerization time slot is repeated in same position.It is this to subtract as other embodiments The signaling of few expense can be configured by the higher level of such as RRC etc, or from gNB (LTE eNB or other network access stations, This depends on the RAT that passes through of UE connection) it is instructed in received DCI, or combinations thereof.

In another embodiment of the present invention, UE can from polymerization time slot in each time slot the control area DL and guarantor It protects window duration and exports the NR PUCCH duration.In one example, for the control area DL size (such as 2 Symbol) and the protective time slot duration be semi-statically configured be semi-statically configured or dynamic instruction in the case where (for example, use Similar to the dedicated control channel of LTE physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH)), UE can export NR for each time slot The PUCCH duration.In addition, the case where transmitting NR detection reference signal (SRS) in the last symbol in a time slot Under, UE can not transmit NR PUCCH in the last symbol in corresponding time slot.

In certain embodiments of the present invention, the resource in code domain, time domain and/or frequency domain can pass through higher level signaling (for example, via NR Master Information Block (NR MIB), NR system information block (NR SIB) or radio resource control (RRC) signaling) quilt It is preserved for other purposes, or the downlink control carried in NR physical downlink control channel (NR PDCCH) 305 By dynamic instruction in information (DCI).It can be the information in DL control channel 305 or GP 310 as shown in the example of Fig. 3 Retain these resources.In the case where UE, which is configured as transmission, has the NR PUCCH 315 of multiple time-slot durations, UE will The configuration for retaining resource about these is identified first, and NR PUCCH will not be transmitted on retaining resource.

In some embodiments, specific level or priority can be defined to retain resource or signal transmission, wherein level Instruction or priority rule can be configured via NR MIB, NR SIB or RRC signaling by higher level or dynamically be referred in DCI Show.It, can not be in the guarantor for the signal for being intended for higher levels or higher priority depending on level instruction or priority rule Stay the signal that lower-level or lower priority are transmitted in resource.

In another embodiment of the present invention, for TDD system, plurality of parameter set is with frequency division multiplexing (FDM) side Formula coexists in identical system bandwidth, and the part UL needs to be aligned for different parameter sets.As shown in figure 4, DL, protection Period and the region UL are aligned between the different parameters collection in same system bandwidth.It is answered in frequency in the resource of NR tdd frame In embodiment, known to 410 duration of 405 size of the control area DL and protective time slot and reference parameter sets are in the time When upper alignment, UE can export UL control channel 415,416 duration, even if when applying biggish subcarrier in same frame It is also such when interval.

Alternatively, 415 duration of UL control channel including beginning and/or terminating symbol in polymerization time slot can be with It is configured by higher level or is instructed in DCI.In order to reduce signaling overheads, it is assumed that transmit UL control channel in continuous symbol 415, then the primary sign and/or starting time slots being used in the polymerization time slot that UL control channel 415,416 is transmitted can be accused by gNB Know, is similarly to embodiment discussed above.

In other embodiments, NR can be transmitted using the minimum duration in a time slot with reference to Fig. 5, UE PUCCH 515.Specifically, it is assumed that the maximum control area DL size can be configured by higher level, then UE can be in each time slot NR PUCCH transmission export minimum duration.

As shown, NR PUCCH transmission 515, the size of the maximum control area DL 505 is 2 symbols.Assuming that when protection Section 510 is 1 symbol duration, and UE can export the minimum transfer duration of NR PUCCH515 from symbol #4 to symbol # 14.During time slot #n+2 and #n+3, even if UE also uses this most as shown in the figure when a symbol is only crossed in the control area DL The small duration transmits NR PUCCH 515.This feature may also help in reduction signaling overheads.

In a frequency domain with the NR PUCCH of multiple time-slot durations

It, can be by frequency hopping is applied to UL control channel in time slot and/or between time slot when NR PUCCH crosses over multiple time slots Transmission with using frequency diversity benefit.

Fig. 6 is shown when NR PUCCH 615 is across multiple time slots for hopping in time slot and/or between time slot Various options.Note that design principle can be directly extended to a time slot although a time slot crosses over 14 symbols in figure The case where across 7 symbols.For example, when a time slot crosses over 7 symbols, it may be more desirable to which frequency hopping between time slot is applied to tool There is the transmission of the NR PUCCH of multiple time-slot durations.The case where being embedded in demodulated reference signal (DMRS) in each time slot Under, by using the channel information estimated from the DMRS of each time slot, receiver can be coherently combined due to frequency hopping and Different frequency and time upper received NR PUCCH 615.

It, can be by higher level via NR Master Information Block (NR MIB), NR system for frequency hopping embodiment between time slot or in time slot System block of information (NR SIB) or RRC signaling configure two or more frequency resources, as in other embodiments.This Outside, UE can be by transmitting in time slot or between these frequency resources across the time slot in polymerization time slot using frequency hopping PUCCH 615。

In another embodiment of the present invention, UE can in time slot or across polymerization time slot in time slot system bandwidth Or the frequency hopping of NR PUCCH is executed on the edge of the specific UL transmission bandwidth of UE.The specific UL transmission bandwidth of UE can be believed by such as RRC The higher level enabled etc configures.

It in another embodiment of the present invention, can be the NR PUCCH biography in time slot or across the time slot polymerizeing in time slot Defeated definition frequency-hopping mode.Particularly, frequency-hopping mode can be defined as the function of one or more parameters, for example, physical area ID or virtual subdistrict ID and time slot index.In one example, the possible frequency resource groups for NR PUCCH transmission can To be predefined or be configured via NR MIB, NR SIB or RRC signaling by higher level.Furthermore, it is possible to according to physical district ID and when The definite frequency resource that the function of gap index is transmitted from the possible frequency resource groups export for NR PUCCH.

As an example, Kfr can be configured in NR SIB_eqFrequency resource.Exact frequency resource index can by with Lower equation export:

Wherein, mod is modular arithmetic, c₀, c₁, c₂It is constant, can predefines in specification or be configured by higher level；It is physical district ID；n_sIt is subframe or time slot index；I_freqIt is frequency resource index, K_freqIt is to be transmitted for NR PUCCH Frequency resource quantity.

UE can transmit NR PUCCH in K continuous UL time slots in same frequency resources.Then, UE can be switched to Another frequency resource is to carry out frequency hopping.Value K can as system architecture designer it is desired by higher level via NR MIB, NR SIB or RRC signaling predefine or configuration, or is determined according to the quantity of time slot.In one example, UE is in multiple time slots Intermediate switching frequency resource.When using across non-slotted channel algorithm for estimating, improved channel estimating performance can be obtained.

Fig. 7 shows an example 700 of the frequency hopping for NR PUCCH transmission 715.In this example, UE is being switched to Before another frequency resource, in two continuous slots, NR PUCCH 715 is transmitted in a frequency resource.

With the NR PUCCH of multiple time-slot durations in code domain

When to carry small payload size (for example, 1 or 2) (such as mixed for the UL control channel with long duration Close automatic repeat request-confirmation (HARQ-ACK) feedback or scheduling request (SR)) when, it can be with code division multiplexing (CDM) and/or frequency Multiplexing (FDM) mode is divided to be multiplexed multiple UE.It, can be using the different circulations in frequency domain in order to maximize the capacity of UL control channel Orthogonal covering codes (OCC) in displacement and time domain are multiplexed the UL control channels with long duration to be directed to multiple UE.Note that Since the UL control channel duration can change and have the symbol of different number, should define with variable-length OCC.

When NR PUCCH crosses over multiple time slots, OCC is between the time slot in time domain being applied interior and/or time slot with further Increase the capacity of UL control channel.

Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 is respectively illustrated respectively without and with NR PUCCH815 of frequency hopping in time slot, in 915 time slot The example of 900OCC between 800 and time slot.Particularly, any of 900OCC or both can be answered between 800 and time slot in time slot For the transmission of NR PUCCH 815,915, this makes it possible to increase UL control channel capacity.Moreover, any of which or Their combination can provide the guarantor for the potential orthogonality failure between the UE for sharing identical PRB using different cyclic shifts Shield, the failure may occur in big delay extension scene.As described above, OCC depends on the UL control in a time slot in time slot Channel duration processed.In addition, in time slot in the case where frequency hopping, it can be using OCC in two time slots, as shown in Figure 9.

Note that for OCC between time slot, sequence based on length K DFT can be used or based on Walsh-Hadamard's Sequence.Following table 1, table 2 and table 3 respectively illustrates OCC between the time slot for the NR PUCCH with 2,4 and 8 time slots The example of Walsh-Hadamard sequence.Can be used DFT with corresponding length K generate have other length (for example, 3,5, 6,7) OCC.

OCC can be applied individually to any DMRS and UCI symbol in time slot.For example, the time slot in 7 symbols is accorded with by two DMRS Number and 5 UCI symbols composition in the case where, the OCC that the OCC and length that length is 2 are 5 can be respectively applied to DMRS symbol and UCI symbol.OCC is applied generally to all symbols in time slot between time slot.

The OCC of 3. 8 time slots of table

It in one embodiment of the invention, can be by higher level for OCC index between the time slot of the transmission of NR PUCCH It is semi-statically configured via RRC signaling or dynamic instruction or a combination thereof in DCI.Furthermore, it is possible to from an OCC resource rope Draw the common interior OCC index between time slot of export time slot.

In one example, OCC index in time slotThe OCC index between time slotIt can be given by equation 2 Out:

Wherein, K_OCCIt is the length of OCC between time slot, n_ocOCC index, can by higher level via RRC signaling configure or Person's dynamic instruction or combinations thereof in DCI.

In another embodiment of the present invention, regardless of the number of timeslots distributed for NR PUCCH, can will have There is OCC between the time slot of regular length to transmit applied to NR PUCCH.Figure 10 shows one of OCC between the time slot with regular length A example.In this example, the length of OCC is 2 between time slot.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the nested structure for OCC between time slot can be used for the biography of NR PUCCH It is defeated.Note that UE may need different coverings to extend rank reliably to communicate with gNB in a cell.In such case Under, different UE is distributed can be different for the number of timeslots of the transmission of NR PUCCH.For example, for cell side Edge UE, it may be necessary to relatively great amount of time slot, and for the UE of center of housing estate, a small amount of time slot may be enough.

In this case, the nested structure for OCC between time slot can be used for being multiplexed multiple UE in a manner of CDM to be used for The NR PUCCH of time slot with different number.As shown in figure 11, when NRPUCCH UE#1 and UE#2 crosses over 2 and 4 respectively Gap.In addition, having OCC between [1-1] and the time slot of [1 11 1] to be respectively applied to UE#1 and UE#2.Based on the program, the two The NR PUCCH of UE can be re-used in identical frequency resource in a manner of CDM.Note that although as shown, not applying jump Frequently, the case where but design principle can be directly extended to using frequency hopping.
