Description

Index mapping method and device for physical resource block PRB

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of mobile communication, in particular to an index mapping method and an index mapping method device of a Physical Resource Block (PRB).

Background

With the development of the fifth generation wireless communication technology, 5G will be able to provide access to information and sharing of data for each user and application anywhere and anytime, be able to connect all contents wirelessly, and provide fast and rich contents and services, thereby enriching people's lives.

At present, a user BWP (Bandwidth Part, partial Bandwidth) configured by a MAC layer (media Access Control, media Access Control layer) is in a full Bandwidth manner, so that RBG (Resource Block Group) indexes are absolute indexes, and a calculation scheme is relatively simple to implement, and only needs to traverse each RBG according to the RBG index and the number of RBGs to calculate a corresponding PRB (Physical Resource Block) index.

Since the starting position and size of the BWP are fixed, there is no need to consider the size of the first segment RBG, and the translation of the relative and absolute indices, and the size of each RBG is 16 PRBs in the case of full bandwidth, as specified in the protocol. Only when the full BWP resource is scheduled, the last segment RBG has a size of 1 and an index of 272. The specific flow can be completed only by nesting of two loops in the implementation, and the flow is shown in fig. 1.

For example, the start and size of the parameter BWP of the MAC layer configuration, the size, number, and relative index of RBGs are BWP _ start ═ 0, BWP _ size ═ 273, RBG _ size ═ 16, RBG _ num ═ 18, and RBG _ index [18] = {0, 1 … 17 }. The first three variables are all fixed in the existing case, and only 18 RBGs need to be traversed. Since BWP _ start is 0, the start of the RBG is PRB0, the remaining PRB indices can be sequentially found, the first 17 segments of RBGs occupy 272 PRBs, and the last segment of RBG17 has only one PRB, which is PRB 272. Therefore, the number of PRB _ index is 273 in total, which is {0, 1, 2 … 272 }.

The scheme can be seen that the biggest problem of the scheme is that the supported PRB resource allocation mode is single, and only the calculation when the BWP of a user is full bandwidth can be supported, so that the flexibility of resource allocation TYPE-0 scheduling is seriously hindered; based on the RBG _ size, the value of RBG _ size is also fixed to 16 PRB sizes, and the fixation of a plurality of parameters leads the base station to realize only a certain fixed scheduling form; in addition, in order to ensure the calculation to be correct, the PRB index needs to be judged whether to be overrun or not every time the loop is executed, and the code running time is increased.

Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in further detail below.

Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart illustrating steps of an embodiment of a method for mapping indexes of physical resource blocks PRB is shown, and specifically may include the following steps:

step 201, obtaining the resource status of user UE, and determining the parameter of the partial bandwidth BWP of the UE;

the new BWP (Bandwidth Part) concept in the NR system communication protocol enables RBG (Resource Block Group) to be changed from cell-level parameters to User-level parameters, which facilitates flexible scheduling of UE (User Experience).

Specifically, when performing resource scheduling, the MAC layer (Medium Access Control, media Access Control layer) may obtain a resource status of the UE, and allocate a parameter of a partial bandwidth BWP of the UE according to the resource status of the UE. Wherein the BWP parameters may include BWP size and BWP start position. The BWP starting position may indicate a position of a starting PRB in the BWP.

Wherein the UE resource status is an occupation status of BWP resources when the user transmits data.

Step 202, determining resource block RBG parameters according to the BWP parameters;

the BWP parameters include BWP size and BWP start position.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the RBG parameter may be further determined according to the BWP parameter.

Total number of RBGs N on ith segment BWP as specified by 38.214 communication protocol_RBGIs defined as follows:

wherein P is the size of a parameter RBG determined by the MAC layer,

is the starting PRB of the BWP,

is the number of PRBs on BWP.

Specifically, the size of the first segment RBG is defined as follows:

when the last segment of RBG is not the full size, the size of the last segment of RBG is defined as follows:

that is, the sizes of the first and last RBGs are not necessarily the size of the MAC layer determined parameter RBG, and the sizes of the two RBGs depend on the MAC layer determined parameter RBG

And parameters

Besides, the RBGs at the head and the tail are removed from the BWP, and the sizes of the remaining RBGs (i.e., the RBGs in the middle of the BWP) are the sizes of the parameters RBG determined by the MAC layer, and each of the parameters RBG has P PRBs.

Table of the parameter ranges for BWP and RBG with a full bandwidth of 273PRB is as follows

TABLE 1

According to the 38.214 protocol, different BWP sizes correspond to different RBG sizes, as shown in table 2:

BWP size	RBG size-configuration 1	RBG size-configuration 2
			1～36	2	4
37～72	4	8
			73～144	8	16
145～275	16	16

TABLE 2

Since RBG _ index is a concept relative to BWP, in case of PRB resource allocation TYPE-0, mapping from RBG to PRB is needed in order to obtain the absolute resource location index of PRB over the full bandwidth.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the RBG parameter may include a preset RBG size, where the preset RBG size is used to indicate a size of an RBG of the second segment, and the step 202 may include the following sub-steps:

In this embodiment of the present invention, the preset mapping table may be table 2, where the preset RBG size may default to data corresponding to configuration 1. Of course, when implementing the solution of the embodiment of the present invention, a person skilled in the art may also set the preset RBG size as data corresponding to configuration 2 according to actual needs, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, when the BWP size BWP _ size is 270, the RBG size RBG _ size is 16 by looking up the preset mapping table; when BWP _ size is 140, RBG _ size is 8 by looking up the preset mapping table.

Step 203, determining the relative index of the RBG and the BWP according to the UE resource condition;

in the embodiment of the invention, the relative index of the RBG and the BWP can be determined according to the resource condition of the UE at the MAC layer. For example, in the case of full BWP resource scheduling, the MAC layer determines that the relative index RBG _ index [18] of RBG and BWP is {0, 1 … 17}, and at this time, the number of RBGs RBG _ num is 18; in the case of the resource scheduling of the unsatisfied BWP, the MAC layer determines that the relative index RBG _ index [10] of the RBG and the BWP is {0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14}, and at this time, the number of RBGs RBG _ num is 10.

And step 204, mapping absolute indexes of PRBs in a segmented manner by adopting the parameters of the RBGs and the relative indexes.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the RBGs on the BWP may be divided into three segments for mapping, the sizes of the first segment and the last segment of the RBGs and the starting positions of the first segment and the last segment of the RBGs are respectively calculated, the first segment and the last segment of the RBGs are mapped into absolute indexes of the first segment and the last segment of the PRB, and the absolute indexes of the intermediate segments of the PRB are calculated.

Referring to fig. 3, a schematic diagram of a BWP and RBGs according to the present invention is shown, specifically, the size of the RBGs on the BWP is different from the size of the RBGs in the middle section. The start position of the first segment RBG0 has a positive Offset with respect to BWP _ start, and the end position of the Last segment Last RBG exceeds the edge position BWP _ end of BWP.

Fig. 4 shows a flowchart of absolute index mapping for a segment-mapped PRB according to the present invention. The specific flow of segment mapping the absolute index of the PRB includes the following processes:

1. the existing calculation is compatible, the algorithm is optimized, the judgment is put forward, and the running speed is increased.

2. If the BWP configuration is adopted, new algorithm calculation is entered.

3. Since the MAC layer performs scheduling according to the user resource status when scheduling the RBG _ index of TYPE-0, even the index of the first segment RBG0 is not necessarily from the BWP _ start of the user, and it needs to be distinguished when calculating the size of the first segment RBG 0. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether the relative index of the first segment RBG to BWP is 0 or not.

If the relative index of the first segment RBG and BWP is 0, then the steps are executed: the negative offset of the start of the first segment RBG0 relative to BWP _ start is calculated, the absolute index of the PRBs contained in the first segment RBG0 is further calculated, and then all the indices of the RBG1 to the 2 nd last RBG (i.e., the middle segment RBG) are calculated.

4. If the relative index of the first segment RBG and BWP is not 0, then the steps are executed: the forward offset of the start of the first segment RBG0 relative to BWP _ start is calculated, at which point the start position of the first segment RBG0 can be known, the absolute index of the PRBs contained in the first segment RBG0 is further calculated, and then the absolute indices of all PRBs of the RBG1 to the 2 nd last RBG (i.e., the middle segment RBG) are calculated.

5. Since resource scheduling may not be full of BWP, the size and starting position of the last segment of RBG needs to be calculated for absolute index mapping of PRB. In addition, the starting absolute index of the last RBG in this step cannot be the absolute index of the last PRB in step 3 or 4 plus 1, because the allocation manner of TYPE-0 may be discontinuous, and the absolute index of the last RBG may not be continuous with the previous one, it can only be converted into an absolute index value by the relative index value of the last RBG and BWP _ start, and traverse to BWP _ end.

And calculating PRB absolute indexes of the RBGs in the first section and the middle section, and calculating the RBG in the last section. First, according to the relative index of the last segment of RBG and BWP and the total number of RBG on BWP, it is determined whether PRB of the last segment of RBG exceeds the edge position of BWP. And calculating the PRB absolute index of the last segment of RBG according to the judgment result.

For example, assuming that BWP _ start is 1 and BWP _ size is 270, the MAC layer will derive RBG _ size is 16 according to the BWP size, and RBG _ num is 17 and RBG _ index [18] is {0, 1 … 17} in case of full BWP resource scheduling. I.e., the first segment RBG0 is 15 in size and the last segment RBG is 15 in size, then the corresponding PRB index for RBG0 will no longer be 0-14 but 1-15, the index for the first segment RBG1 for the middle segment RBG will start at 16 and the index for the last segment RBG will start at 256 to the end of the BWP, i.e., PRB 270. Therefore, the number of the last PRB _ index is 270 {1, 2 … 270 }.

If the BWP is not full, the calculation can be carried out in a segmented mode by the calculation mode. Assuming that BWP _ start is 20, BWP _ size is 240, and RBG _ size is 16, from which only RBG _ num is 10 is scheduled, the corresponding RBG _ index is {0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14 }. At this time, the index of the RBG0 is obtained as 20, 21 … 31 according to the algorithm, the PRB index of the middle segment is 80, 81 … 174, 175, 208, 209 … 238, 239, and the PRB index of the last segment is 240, 241 … 255. So the set of the last PRB _ index is {20, 21 … 31, 80, 81 … 175, 208, 209 … 255}, for a total of 156.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step 204 may include the following sub-steps:

The first segment PRB absolute index may be a PRB absolute index of a first segment RBG of the BWP.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the relative index of the first segment RBG and the BWP is 0, it is determined that the starting position of the first segment RBG is the same as the starting position of the BWP, and the size of the first segment RBG is the preset RBG size (i.e., the same as the RBG size of the middle segment), and therefore, when the relative index of the first segment RBG and the BWP is 0, the size of the first segment RBG and the starting position of the first segment RBG can be directly determined according to the obtained parameters, thereby calculating the absolute index of the first segment PRB.

When the relative index of the first segment RBG to the BWP is not 0, the size of the first segment RBG and the start position of the first segment RBG need to be further calculated.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the relative index of the first segment RBG to the BWP is not 0, the size of the first segment RBG may be determined according to the following formula:

RBG0_size＝P–BWP_start mod P。

wherein, RBG0_ size is the size of the first segment RBG, BWP _ start is the starting position of BWP, and P is the size of RBG. For example, if BWP _ start is 20 and P is 16, RBG0_ size is 12 according to the formula.

The starting position of the first RBG segment can be calculated by the following formula:

PRB_index＝RBG_index[0]*RBG_size+(BWP_start/RBG_size)*RBG_size

the PRB _ index refers to the starting position of the first segment RBG, RBG _ index [0] refers to the relative index of the first segment RBG and BWP, RBG _ size refers to the size of the preset RBG, and BWP _ start refers to the starting position of BWP.

BWP _ start/RBG _ size is an integer quotient obtained by dividing BWP _ start by RBG _ size. For example, if RBG _ index [0] is 2, RBG _ size is 16, BWP _ start is 20, the starting position PRB _ index of the first segment RBG is 48 as calculated by the above formula.

Since the PRBs within a segment of RBG are contiguous, determining the size of the first segment of RBG and the starting location of the first segment of RBG can further determine the absolute index of the first segment of PRBs. For example, when RBG0_ size is 12, and the starting position of the first segment RBG is 20, the absolute index of the first segment PRB is {20, 21, …, 31 }.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step 204 may further include the following sub-steps:

In the embodiment of the present invention, the second segment PRB absolute index may be a PRB absolute index of a middle segment RBG of the BWP.

The absolute starting position of the second segment RBG can be obtained using the following equation:

RBG_pos＝BWP_start/BWP_size*BWP_size。

wherein RBG _ pos refers to the absolute start position of the RBG of the second segment, BWP _ start refers to the BWP start position, and BWP _ size refers to the BWP size. BWP _ start/BWP _ size is an integer quotient obtained by dividing BWP _ start by BWP _ size.

The second segment PRB absolute index formula is as follows:

PRB_index[i]＝RBG_index[i]*RBG_size+RBG0_pos+j。

the RBG _ index [ i ] is used for representing the ith RBG on the current BWP, the PRB _ index [ i ] is used for representing the absolute index of the PRB on the ith RBG, j is used for representing the jth PRB on the current RBG, and RBG _ size refers to the size of the preset RBG.

Assuming that BWP _ start is 20, BWP _ size is 240, and RBG _ size is 16, from which only RBG _ num is 10 is scheduled, the corresponding RBG _ index is {0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14 }.

The absolute start position RBG _ pos of the second segment RBG is 20/16 × 16, which is calculated according to the above formula.

PRB _ index [4] ═ 4 × 16+16+ j, cycle j ═ 0, j ═ j + +, j < RBG _ size, and the absolute index of the PRB in the middle segment RBG4 is {80, 81.. 95 }.

PRB _ index [5] ═ 5 × 16+16+ j, cycle j ═ 0, j ═ j + +, j < RBG _ size, and the absolute index of the PRB available for middle segment RBG5 is {96, 97.. 109 }.

...

PRB _ index [9] ═ 9 × 16+16+ j, cycle j ═ 0, j ═ j + +, j < RBG _ size, and the absolute index of the PRB available for middle segment RBG9 is {160, 161.. 175 }.

PRB _ index [12] ═ 12 × 16+16+ j, cycle j ═ 0, j ═ j + +, j < RBG _ size, and the absolute index of the PRB available for the middle segment RBG12 is {208, 209.. 223 }.

PRB _ index [13] ═ 13 × 16+16+ j, cycle j ═ 0, j ═ j + +, j < RBG _ size, and the absolute index of the PRB available for the middle segment RBG13 is {224, 225.. 239 }.

That is, the PRB index of the middle segment is {80, 81 … 174, 175, 208, 209 … 238, 239 }.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the third segment of PRB absolute index may be an absolute index of a PRB on the last segment of RBG.

It can be determined whether the position of the last RBG segment exceeds the edge position of the BWP by determining whether the relative index of the last RBG segment to the BWP is equal to the total number of RBGs minus one (i.e., the reference value). When the relative index of the last segment of RBG and BWP is equal to the reference value, the position of the last segment of RBG exceeds the edge position of BWP, and when the relative index of the last segment of RBG and BWP is not equal to the reference value, the position of the last segment of RBG does not exceed the edge position of BWP.

When the position of the last segment of RBG exceeds the edge position of BWP, the size and the starting position of the last segment of RBG need to be determined, so as to determine the absolute index of the third segment of PRB.

For example, let BWP _ start be 20, BWP _ size 240, and look up table to get RBG _ size 16. From which only RBG _ num is scheduled 11, and the corresponding RBG _ index is {0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15 }. The relative index of the last RBG segment to the BWP is 15, the total number of RBGs is 16 according to the above formula for calculating the total number of RBGs, and the relative index of the last RBG segment to the BWP is equal to the total number of RBGs minus one, and the position of the last RBG segment exceeds the edge position of the BWP.

At this time, the starting position of the last RBG segment can be calculated to be 256 by the formula PRB _ index [15] ═ 15 × 16+16+ j, which is obtained from the above formula for calculating the size of the last RBG segment, lastRBG _ size being 4. Then the absolute index of the last segment PRB is 256, 257, 258, 259.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the relative index of the last RBG segment and the BWP is not equal to the sum of the RBGs minus 1, the last RBG segment is not at the edge of the BWP, and at this time, the absolute index of the PRB in the last RBG segment is calculated in the same manner as the absolute index of the PRB in the second segment.

For example, if BWP _ start is 20, BWP _ size is 240, RBG _ size is 16, from which only RBG _ num is 10, corresponding RBG _ index is {0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14}, and the relative index of the last RBG segment to BWP is 14.

The total number of RBGs is 16 according to the above formula, so that 14<15, the relative index of the last segment of RBGs and BWP is less than the total number of RBGs minus one. At this time, the size of the last segment of RBG is the same as the preset RBG, and is 16; then the starting position of the last segment of RBG can be calculated to be 240 by the formula PRB _ index [14] ═ 14 × 16+16, and then the PRB absolute index of the last segment of RBG is {240, 241.
