Description

Method and device for triggering SRS transmission
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for triggering SRS transmission.
Background
In the Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard, aperiodic Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission is indicated by Downlink control signaling (DCI) for scheduling data transmission.
In a New Radio Access Technology (NR) system, due to an increase in system BandWidth, in order to adapt BandWidth capabilities of different User terminals (UEs) and reduce energy consumption for UE detection, the NR system divides a plurality of BandWidth Segments (BWPs) in the system BandWidth.
In the 3GPP NR 15 standard, it is specified that only one active BWP can be used per UE at the same time. Meanwhile, in order to support more flexible bandwidth adaptation, a DCI-based BWP handover mechanism is supported in the NR standard, that is, a base station indicates to a UE that DCI is resource allocation scheduling for a currently active BWP or a target BWP through a BWP indication (indicator) bit field in the DCI. After receiving the DCI, if it is determined that the BWP identifier indicated by the BWP indicator bit field is not the currently active BWP, the UE performs BWP handover and transmits/receives data on the target BWP according to the scheduling information in the DCI.
The NR standard specifies that the SRS frequency domain transmission range of the UE is limited to the frequency domain range of the currently active BWP, i.e. the base station can only obtain the uplink channel quality information in the frequency domain range of the currently active BWP by measuring the SRS transmitted by the UE. When the base station triggers BWP handover by using DCI, it needs to schedule frequency domain resources on the target BWP, however, the base station cannot obtain the complete uplink channel quality information on the target BWP through the SRS transmitted on the currently activated BWP, and therefore, effective resource scheduling, transmission scheme selection, and the like cannot be achieved.
In view of the above, a new SRS transmission scheme is needed to overcome the above drawbacks.

Detailed Description
In order to successfully obtain the uplink channel quality information of the target BWP when BWP handover is required, in the embodiment of the present invention, in the 5G NR system, when the base station determines that the UE needs to perform BWP handover, the base station sends DCI to the UE and triggers the UE to send SRS in a frequency domain range outside the currently activated BWP, so that the base station performs uplink channel quality measurement on the frequency domain range outside the currently activated BWP based on the obtained SRS, thereby selecting an appropriate target BWP for handover.
Optionally, the SRS is a periodic SRS or an aperiodic SRS, and preferably, the aperiodic SRS may be selected, and details will not be described in the following embodiments.
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, in the embodiment of the present invention, in the 5G NR system, a detailed flow of the base station triggering SRS transmission is as follows:
step 100: the base station determines that uplink channel quality measurements need to be made for BWP.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when step 100 is executed, at least the following two cases are included but not limited to:
the first case is: when the base station judges that the data volume of the data to be transmitted aiming at the UE is not matched with the bandwidth of the current activated BWP used by the UE, the base station determines that the uplink channel quality measurement aiming at the BWP is needed.
At this time, the currently active BWP used by the UE already meets the transmission requirement of the data to be transmitted, and needs to find a new target BWP.
For example, assume that BWP1 has a bandwidth less than BWP2, and the currently active BWP used by the UE is BWP1,
Then, when the base station determines that the base station will interact with the UE in the subsequent flow (the base station may actively send a large amount of data to the UE, or the UE may report a large amount of data to the base station), the base station may determine to switch the indication UE from BWP1 to BWP2, so that the UE can successfully complete data interaction using sufficient bandwidth resources.
Accordingly, after the UE is switched to BWP2, when the bs determines that the bs will not interact with the UE with a large amount of data in the subsequent flow for a certain period of time, the bs may determine to switch the UE from BWP2 to BWP1, so that the power consumption of the UE may be effectively reduced.
The second case is: and when the base station judges that the uplink channel quality measurement is not carried out for more than the set time length, determining that the uplink channel quality measurement needs to be carried out aiming at the BWP.
In this case, the current service condition of the UE may be stable, and BWP handover does not need to be performed immediately, but the base station only detects the uplink channel quality of the inactive BWP periodically, and if a more ideal inactive BWP is found, the UE may also be notified to perform BWP handover, or of course, the specific operation may be configured flexibly according to the application environment in order to ensure the service stability without performing BWP handover, which is not described herein again.
Step 120: and the base station sends DCI to the UE, and triggers the UE to send SRS to the base station in the frequency domain range outside the current active BWP, wherein the SRS is used for carrying out uplink channel quality measurement on the frequency domain range outside the current active BWP.
The base station sends DCI to the UE, where the DCI does not carry identification information of a target BWP, and the UE may determine that the base station is to instruct itself to perform BWP handover when receiving such DCI, and currently enters a dedicated measurement gap (measurement gap) for sending an aperiodic SRS outside a frequency domain range of a currently active BWP (i.e., on all inactive BWPs).
In this way, before formally instructing the UE to perform BWP handover, the base station may perform uplink channel quality measurement on the frequency domain outside the currently active BWP (i.e. for all inactive BWPs) based on the SRS transmitted by the UE in the measurement interval, so as to select an appropriate target BWP and corresponding transmission scheme.
By using the DCI to trigger SRS transmission outside the frequency domain range of the currently activated BWP, the resource overhead of the measurement interval can be effectively reduced.
Optionally, the DCI for triggering SRS transmission on the inactive BWP sent by the base station is consistent with the signaling format of the DCI for uplink data scheduling, that is, the DCI and the signaling format are the same, so that the existing interactive process does not need to be modified greatly.
Of course, the base station may also redesign the dedicated signaling format for the DCI triggering SRS transmission on the inactive BWP, which is not described herein again.
Optionally, the base station sends the DCI for triggering SRS transmission in step 120, where the BWPindicator bit field is used to indicate an identifier of a target BWP, and the SRS request bit field is used to indicate configuration information of an SRS.
In the embodiment of the present invention, before receiving the SRS transmitted by the UE on the inactive BWP, the base station may also indicate the target BWP to the UE through the BWP indicator bit field, so that the UE may preferentially select the frequency domain range of the target BWP for transmission when transmitting the SRS signal, and further, if the uplink channel quality on the target BWP meets the requirement, the UE may not transmit the SRS on other inactive BWPs, so as to further reduce the operation load of the UE and avoid wasting system resources. On the other hand, the SRS request bit field is used to indicate the configuration information of the SRS, and may include the SRS transmission power configured semi-statically, the bandwidth range of the SRS transmission, the designated sequence configuration adopted by the SRS, and the like.
Optionally, in the DCI for triggering SRS transmission sent by the base station in step 120, one or more bit fields adopt a preset specific sequence, where the specific sequence is a sequence in which a predetermined function is set in advance, and the specific sequences adopted in different bit fields are the same or different.
For example, a bit field adopts all 1 specific sequences of "11111", and the base station and the UE may pre-agree with a specific function represented by such specific sequence, so that the UE can perform the corresponding specific function after parsing the bit field from the DCI.
The correspondence between the specific sequence and the designated function can be flexibly configured according to a specific application environment, and is not described herein again.
Further, the one or more bit fields are one or any combination of the following bit fields:
a frequency domain resource allocation bit field, a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) bit field, a Redundancy Version (RV) bit field, a New Data Indicator (NDI) bit field, a Hybrid Automatic repeat request (HARQ) process number (HARQ) bit field.
Optionally, in the DCI for triggering SRS transmission sent by the base station in step 120, the time domain resource allocation bit field is set to a specific sequence or an effective bit sequence, and is used to indicate a time domain resource position for SRS transmission by the UE. The special bit sequence is a sequence with a corresponding time-frequency resource position set in advance, and the effective bit sequence is used for directly indicating a corresponding time-domain resource position.
And when the UE receives the DCI and determines that a time domain resource allocation bit domain carried by the DCI is a specific sequence, the UE sends an SRS signal at a fixed time domain resource position corresponding to the specific sequence. The time-domain resource location and the DCI timing relationship may be set in a standard or configured through RRC signaling.
And when the UE receives the DCI and determines that the time domain resource allocation bit field is an effective bit sequence, the UE transmits an SRS signal at the time domain resource position indicated by the DCI.
Optionally, in the DCI for triggering SRS transmission sent in step 120, the base station uses a Transmission Power Control (TPC) bit field to dynamically indicate the SRS transmission power.
The above embodiments are further described in detail with reference to specific application scenarios.

In summary, in the embodiments of the present invention, when it is determined that uplink channel quality is not to be measured for BWP, the base station sends DCI to the UE, and triggers the UE to send SRS to the base station in a frequency domain range outside the currently active BWP in a measurement interval before BWP is switched, so that the base station can use the received SRS to perform effective uplink channel quality measurement for the inactive BWP, thereby achieving effective resource scheduling, transmission scheme selection, and the like, thereby greatly improving user experience, and also effectively reducing resource overhead of the measurement interval, thereby reducing system load.
On the other hand, the DCI triggering the UE to transmit the SRS at the measurement interval and the DCI for uplink data scheduling adopt the same signaling format, and at the same time, the DCI may be indicated to be used for the conventional data or trigger SRS transmission by an implicit value (i.e., a specific sequence) of a DCI specific bit field, so that the UE blind detection complexity and overhead may be reduced to a certain extent.
