Aiming at a scene of cooperative scheduling of NR uRLLC network slices and eMBB slices, the embodiment of the invention provides an eMBB CCE resource allocation method in order to reduce the influence of resource punching on eMBB on the premise of ensuring high-priority processing of the uRLLC.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of an eMBB CCE resource allocation method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where as shown in fig. 1, the flowchart includes the following steps:

step S102, when eMBB CCE resources are allocated, if the required CCE resources can be allocated in the RB resources occupied by the currently allocated CCE, the required CCE resources are allocated in the RB resources.

Before step S102 in this embodiment, the method may further include: and judging whether the required CCE resources can be allocated in the RB resources occupied by the currently allocated CCE.

In step S102 of this embodiment, if the required CCE resource cannot be allocated within the RB resource occupied by the currently allocated CCE, the required CCE resource allocation is performed in a direction from low to high or from high to low, immediately adjacent to the RB occupied by the PDCCH or an edge of a corresponding CORESET.

After step S102 in this embodiment, the method may further include: the eMBB scheduler counts the utilization rate of uRLLC scheduling RB; and if the using rate of the uRLLC RB reaches a threshold value within a preset time length and exceeds n times, the eMBB scheduler controls CCE resource allocation in subsequent z slots, wherein n and z are positive integers.

In this embodiment, the controlling, by the eMBB scheduler, CCE resource allocation within subsequent z slots includes: and judging whether the number of RBs occupied by the allocated PDCCH reaches k, if so, not allocating CCE resources in the subsequent z slots, wherein k is a positive integer.

In this embodiment, the controlling, by the eMBB scheduler, CCE resource allocation within subsequent z slots may further include: or judging whether the CCE polymerization degree of the current scheduling user reaches a threshold value, if so, not allocating CCE resources in the subsequent z slots.

In this embodiment, the method may further include the steps of: through an interaction channel established between the eMBB and the uRLLC, at a downlink scheduling time corresponding to an air interface Minislot0, the eMBB notifies the uRLLC of a PDCCH resource allocation result, wherein the allocation result comprises air interface time and an RB resource set occupied by the PDCCH, and when the uRLLC allocates downlink RB resources, the eMBB PDCCH resources are allocated only on RBs which are not occupied by eMBB PDCCH resources in a BWP bandwidth of the uRLLC, and the condition that PDSCH RBs of the local side are occupied is sent to the eMBB.

In this embodiment, for a scenario where the DMRS of the uRLLC is configured on the first symbol of each minilot and the first symbol is the PDCCH of the eMBB, the method may include the steps of: judging whether the base station transmits uRLLC downlink air interface data of the scheduling user in the RB resource range occupied by the eMBB PDCCH or not in the first t Minislots of the current Minislot 0; if yes, buffering DMRS corresponding to the PDSCH closest to the Minislot0 in t Minislots on the UE side, and demodulating the single-symbol PDSCH which is sent by the base station on the RB of the PDSCH and does not contain the DMRS.

In this embodiment, for a scenario where the DMRS of the uRLLC is configured on the first symbol of each minilot and the first symbol is a PDCCH of the eMBB, the method may further include the steps of: judging whether the base station transmits uRLLC downlink air interface data of the scheduling user in the RB resource range occupied by the eMBB PDCCH or not in the first t Minislots of the current Minislot 0; and if so, the base station transmits the single-symbol PDSCH without the DMRS on the RB resource which is transmitted by the PDSCH before.

In this embodiment, the influence of the urrllc on the eMBB control channel is avoided by a downlink RB scheduling avoidance and DMRS effective time extension strategy, and meanwhile, the urrllc service rate is guaranteed as much as possible.

In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention, the following detailed description will be made with reference to embodiments having application scenarios.

Fig. 2 is a radio resource configuration scenario according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, a Minislot resource configuration of an eMBB PDCCH is as follows: 2 OFDM symbols constitute 1 minilot, and in the urrllc scheduling timing in which 14 symbols within 1Slot are cut into 7 minilots, the first symbol of minilot 0 is the eMBB PDCCH.

In minilot configured with the eMBB PDCCH, if the urrllc data-sending PDSCH collides with the RB position of the PDCCH occupied by the eMBB, the urrllc PDSCH may puncture the eMBB PDCCH, which may cause failure in detecting UE Downlink Control Information (DCI), thereby causing loss of the transmission of the eMBB and abnormal HARQ status. Control channels are punctured, which is more serious than data channel puncturing and should be avoided as much as possible.

More particularly, in the above scenario, if DMRS of uRLLC is configured on the first symbol of each minilot, the second symbol on minilot 0 cannot be used to transmit uRLLC downlink data due to the presence of DMRS at the position where the uRLLC PDSCH and the eMBB PDCCH overlap in frequency domain, because the UE needs to demodulate with DMRS, and transmitting PDSCH is accompanied by transmitting DMRS on the configured first symbol, which will also cause the eMBB PDCCH to be punctured.

The simplest processing scheme for the above situation is to not schedule at Minislot0 or configure eMBB and urrllc frequency division cell bandwidths, and prevent resource collision by adopting a semi-static isolation manner. The former will cause the missing of Minislot0 scheduling, so that the key time delay of uRLLC is increased, and the flow is reduced; the latter can result in the reduction of the available bandwidth of uRLLC, the fragmentation of the message, the increase of the time delay and the reduction of the flow.

In order to solve the problem of eMBB transmission generated by puncturing the eMBB PDCCH resource in the radio air interface resource (including PDSCH and DMRS) occupied by the urlllc bearer in the miniport configured with the eMBB PDCCH, a scheduling strategy is provided in this embodiment to solve the problem. The scheduling strategy mainly comprises the following three strategies:

strategy 1: in order to realize scheduling avoidance of the RB occupied by the eMBB PDCCH and the RB occupied by the uRLLC PDSCH, special processing is required to be carried out on eMBB CCE resource allocation, the CCE resource allocation is not dispersed as much as possible, and the allocated PDCCH resources are aggregated. To ensure high priority transmission of urrllc, eMBB CCE resource usage should also tend to be conservative.

As shown in fig. 3, strategy 1 may adopt the following steps to try to aggregate the allocated PDCCH resources:

step S301, scheduling a user to perform eMBB CCE resource allocation;

step S302, judging whether the needed CCE resource can be distributed in the RB resource occupied by the currently distributed CCE, if so, executing step S303, and if not, executing step S304;

step S303, CCE is distributed in the RB resource range to realize PDCCH resource aggregation;

step S304, judging whether other CCE resources are distributed completely, if so, executing step S305, otherwise, executing step S306;

step S305, performing resource allocation on RBs occupied by the adjacent PDCCH according to the direction from low to high or from high to low so as to realize PDCCH resource aggregation;

in step S306, resource allocation is performed from the edge of the CORESET in the direction from low to high or from high to low, so as to realize PDCCH resource aggregation.

As shown in fig. 4, policy 1 may further include the following steps:

step S401, in the QoS of the eMBB scheduler, a counter of the uRLLC scheduling RB utilization rate is added, m is set as a uRLLC RB utilization rate threshold, and n is set as a threshold for counting the times that the uRLLC scheduling RB exceeds m in a sliding window t. And counting the times that the usage rate of the uRLLC RB exceeds a threshold within the sliding window t.

Step S402, judging whether the use rate of uRLLC RB exceeds a threshold m in a sliding window t and reaches n times, if so, considering that the current time is a heavy load time period of uRLLC service, executing step S403, and if not, executing step S407;

step S403, the eMBB scheduler adopts a strategy for limiting CCE resource allocation in the following z slots;

step S404, judging whether the number of RBs occupied by the allocated PDCCH reaches k, if so, executing step S406, and if not, executing step S405;

step S405, judging whether the CCE polymerization degree of the current user to be scheduled exceeds j, if so, executing step S406, and if not, executing step S407;

in step S406, the eMBB scheduler does not allocate CCE resources in the subsequent z slots, and abandons the eMBB user with poor channel condition in this period of time.

In step S407, the eMBB scheduler normally allocates CCE resources.

In this embodiment, m, n, t, z, k, and j are all configurable parameters.

The eMBB CCE resource allocation is more intensive or limited through the strategy 1, more RB resources are reserved for the uRLLC, and high-priority transmission of the uRLLC is guaranteed to the maximum extent.

Strategy 2: through an interaction channel established between the eMBB and the uRLLC, at the downlink scheduling time corresponding to the air interface Minislot0, the eMBB notifies the uRLLC of the PDCCH channel resource allocation result, the notification content mainly comprises air interface time and an RB resource set occupied by the PDCCH, and when the uRLLC performs downlink RB resource allocation, the RB occupied by the eMBB PDCCH is actively avoided, and only the RB which is not occupied by the eMBB PDCCH resource in the BWP bandwidth is used. Meanwhile, the urrllc needs to send the condition that the PDSCH RB of the local side is occupied to the eMBB to complete the statistics in step S401 of the policy 1.

Strategy 3: DMRS configuration for urlllc is on the first symbol of each minilot, and the first symbol is the common configuration of PDCCH of eMBB, as in fig. 2. After finishing the processing of scheduling strategies 1 and 2 on miniblot 0, the urrllc PDSCH and the eMBB PDCCH do not have RB overlap, and there is no situation that the urrllc punctures the eMBB PDCCH, and at this time, the second symbol of the RB occupied by the eMBB PDCCH is silent, so that the urrllc utilizes the part of air interface resources, the following processing is performed in strategy 3:

processing 1, if there is uRLLC downlink air interface data transmission to the user in the RB resource range occupied by the eMBB PDCCH at the time when the first t Minislot of the current Minislot0, the UE side caches DMRS corresponding to the PDSCH closest to the Minislot0 in t, and the DMRS is used for demodulating the single-symbol PDSCH which is possibly transmitted by the Minislot0 base station on the RBs and does not contain the DMRS.

And (3) treatment 2: if the base station has uRLLC downlink air interface data transmission for the user in the RB resource range occupied by the eMBB PDCCH at the first t Minislot of the current Minislot0, the Minislot0 base station can transmit the single-symbol PDSCH without the DMRS on the RB resources of the PDSCH which is transmitted before.

As shown in fig. 5, both Minislot5/6 have scheduling, and the UE buffers the DMRS closest to Minislot0, i.e., the DMRS of Minislot6 is used to demodulate the urrllc PDSCH of Minislot0, wherein the scheduled RBs of Minislot5/6 overlap with the scheduled RBs of Minislot 0.

In strategy 3, the temporal stability of the channel is exploited. As shown in fig. 5, t in processes 1 and 2 can be allocated, but t should not be set too large for reliability, and should be smaller than the distance between the preamble DMRS and the additional DMRS at the earliest position in the protocol. By the processing, RB resources occupied by eMBB PDCCH on Minislot0 can be fully utilized, especially when the uRLLC is in high-load operation, scheduling exists in the preamble Minislot of a probability Minislot0, so that effective transmission of the uRLLC can be formed in Minislot0, time delay is reduced, flow is increased, and meanwhile, the control channel of the eMBB is not influenced.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the strategies 1 to 3 described above may be used alone or in combination according to actual scenarios.

In this embodiment, by the scheduling policy, service exception caused by preemption of the eMBB control channel by the urrllc is avoided, and a configurable DMRS effective policy is adopted, so that the urrllc utilizes radio resources as much as possible on the premise of not affecting the eMBB, thereby improving downlink throughput of the urrllc.

In the embodiment of the invention, the eMMC special CCE allocation algorithm and the uRLLC pointed RB allocation algorithm are adopted in the scheme, overlapping perforation of downlink RB resources is avoided through the cooperative interaction of the uRLLC and the eMMC, a strategy for prolonging the effective period of the DMRS is further adopted to realize the effective utilization of air interface resources, the influence of the uRLLC on the eMMC control channel resource preemption can be practically reduced, the time delay response and the effective bandwidth capacity of the uRLLC are improved, and the user experience of the uRLLC is optimized.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of the uRLLC is configured on a first symbol of each Minislot, and the first symbol is a PDCCH of the eMBB, and wherein the method further comprises:

judging whether the base station transmits uRLLC downlink air interface data of the scheduling user in the RB resource range occupied by the eMBB PDCCH or not in the first t Minislots of the current Minislot 0;

if yes, buffering DMRS corresponding to the PDSCH closest to the Minislot0 in the t Minislots on the UE side, and demodulating the single-symbol PDSCH which is sent by the base station on the RB of the PDSCH and does not contain the DMRS.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the DMRS for uRLLC is configured on the first symbol of each minilot, and wherein the first symbol is the PDCCH of the eMBB, the method further comprising:

and if the uRLLC downlink air interface data transmission for the scheduling user exists, the base station transmits the single-symbol PDSCH without the DMRS on the RB resource which has transmitted the PDSCH before.

10. An enhanced mobile broadband control channel element (eMBB) CCE resource allocation device, comprising:

the first allocating module is configured to, when eMBB CCE resource allocation is performed, allocate a required CCE resource within an RB resource occupied by a currently allocated CCE, if the required CCE resource can be allocated within the RB resource.

11. A computer-readable storage medium, in which a computer program is stored, wherein the computer program is arranged to perform the method of any of claims 1 to 9 when executed.

12. An electronic device comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the memory has stored therein a computer program, and wherein the processor is arranged to execute the computer program to perform the method of any of claims 1 to 9.
