Specific embodiment

The detailed description of system and method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is provided below.Although describing several implementations Example, it should be appreciated that the present disclosure is not limited to any one embodiments, but including largely replacing, modification and equivalent.In addition, Although giving a large amount of details in the following description in order to provide the thorough understanding to embodiments disclosed herein, Some embodiments can be practiced in the case where some or all of without these details.In addition, for the sake of clarity, not having Known some technology materials in related fields are described in detail, in order to avoid unnecessarily obscure the disclosure.

Disclose so that user equipment (UE) can by honeycomb combination ability (frequency band such as, supported, wave beam and/or The combination of parameter set) it is transmitted to technology, device and the method for wireless access network (RAN) node.For example, in order to match for single UE Several carrier waves are set to receive or send data, Web vector graphic UE ability determines how offer data.For new radio (NR Or next-generation radio or 5G system), NR is capable of providing the support to carrier wave polymerization (CA), including with identical or different parameter The different carrier waves of collection.Other than the case where carrier wave polymerize, dual link (DC) and NR+LTE combination also can be NR scenes.

For traditional carrier wave polymerization and doubly-linked welding system, UE by carrier combination capability reporting to network, also, then, Network can configure supported carrier wave for the UE.In NR system, UE can be by the capability reporting of UE to network, for example, carrying Wave/frequency band combination ability, parameter set combination ability and/or beam combination ability.Allow to individually report frequency band/ginseng to network Manifold/beam combination ability, it is also critically important to establish some relationships between these three dimensions.

For example, there are two frequency band A and B (being only called " band " sometimes) and two possible parameter set n1 and n2.It is existing Solution allows system individually to report (frequency band: A and B；Parameter set: nl and n2).However, the combination that target UE is supported is frequency band A It is upper be n1 and frequency band B on be n2.In addition, the combination that target UE is not supported: to be on n1 and frequency band A on frequency band B be, and n2 seems is to have Effect.In the example, UE only reports the ability supported A and B and support n1 and n2.This, which is reported, does not allow network to have institute State the accurate ability information of UE.Reporting mechanism can include more information (the cellular capacity group that such as UE is supported of NR system Close), to solve the problems, such as individually to report.Capability reporting from UE may include the combined information of frequency band, parameter set and wave beam.

Fig. 1 is the ladder diagram 100 for showing parameter set capability query.The network 104 of such as gNB can incite somebody to action UENumerologyCapabilityEnquiry message 106 is sent to UE 102.UE 102 uses UENumerologyCapabil ItyInformation message 108 carrys out response to network 104.Message 106 and 108 can include in following embodiment and/or example The information of description.

In embodiment 1, it is reported using individual parameter set combination ability.For example, UE can be on different carrier waves on Report the combination of supported parameter set.If the UE supports the specific combination (for example, subcarrier spacing) of parameter set, UE can be with The combination that may be supported is reported on downlink (DL) and/or uplink (UL).

Network can send parameter set capability query to UE to request UE ability (for example, the subcarrier spacing supported). After receiving the query messages, UE reports the ability of its parameter set to network.

In the first example, UE can be reported { n1, n2 } to network, and n1 and n2 are two different parameter sets, such as sub Carrier wave interval.UE can be supported on the different carrier waves at CA or DC with n1 and n2 while be received and/or be sent.If nk (k >=1) is subcarrier spacing parameter set, then it can indicate (but being not limited to) 3.75kHz or 7.5kHz or 15kHz or 30kHz Or 60kHz etc..

In the second example, UE can report { n1, n2 ... nk } to network, and wherein n1, n2 and nk (k >=1) are different Parameter set (such as, subcarrier spacing), it means that UE can be supported on the different carrier waves at CA or DC with nl, n2 and nk (k >=1) is received and/or is sent simultaneously.If nk (k >=1) is subcarrier spacing parameter set, it can be indicated (but not It is limited to) 3.75kHz or 7.5kHz or 15kHz or 30kHz or 60kHz etc..

In third example, UE can be reported only for downlink or/and only for uplink to network n1, N2 ... nk }, wherein n1, n2 and nk (k >=1) are different parameter set (such as subcarrier spacing), it means that UE can be propped up Hold on the different carrier waves at CA or DC with n1, n2 and nk (k >=1) come and meanwhile received and/or sent.If nk (k >=1) It is subcarrier spacing parameter set, then it can indicate (but being not limited to) 3.75kHz or 7.5kHz or 15kHz or 30kHz or 60kHz Etc..
