Description

Method and device for reporting transceiving capacity and communication equipment

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for reporting a transceiver capability, and a communications device.

Background

In the New air interface (NR) system, a supporting base station side obtains downlink channel information by measuring an uplink sounding reference signal (Sounding Reference Signal, SRS) by using channel reciprocity. But limited by the hardware limitations of the terminal (UE), the number of UE transmit channels may be less than the number of receive channels, resulting in different UEs having different transceiving capabilities. When the number of the UE transmitting channels is smaller than the number of the receiving channels, the base station cannot obtain complete downlink channel information through channel reciprocity.

In the related art, a terminal reports a transceiving capability supported by the terminal to network side equipment, so that the network side equipment can obtain complete downlink channel information through channel diversity under any transceiving configuration condition of UE. However, the UE can only report a supported transceiving capability, and the network side device can only configure corresponding SRS resources according to the capability reported by the UE, so that the SRS resources cannot be flexibly configured for the terminal.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a block diagram of a wireless communication system to which an embodiment of the present invention is applicable. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network device 12. The terminal 11 may also be referred to as a terminal Device or a User Equipment (UE), and the terminal 11 may be a terminal-side Device such as a mobile phone, a tablet (Tablet Personal Computer), a Laptop (Laptop Computer), a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), a mobile internet Device (Mobile Internet Device, MID), a Wearable Device (Wearable Device), or a vehicle-mounted Device, which is not limited to a specific type of the terminal 11 in the embodiment of the present invention. The network side device 12 may be a base station or a core network, where the base station may be a 5G or later version base station (e.g., a gNB, a 5G NR NB, etc.), or a base station in other communication systems (e.g., an eNB, a WLAN access point, or other access points, etc.), or a location server (e.g., an E-SMLC or LMF (Location Manager Function)), where the base station may be referred to as a node B, an evolved node B, an access point, a base transceiver station (Base Transceiver Station, a BTS), a radio base station, a radio transceiver, a basic service set (Basic Service Set, BSS), an extended service set (Extended Service Set, ESS), a node B, an evolved node B (eNB), a home node B, a home evolved node B, a WLAN access point, a WiFi node, or some other suitable terminology in the field, as long as the same technical effect is achieved, and the base station is not limited to a specific terminology, and the base station in the NR system is merely used as an example in the embodiment of the present invention, but the specific type of the base station is not limited.

The base stations may communicate with the terminal 11 under the control of a base station controller, which may be part of the core network or some base stations in various examples. Some base stations may communicate control information or user data with the core network over a backhaul. In some examples, some of these base stations may communicate with each other directly or indirectly over a backhaul link, which may be a wired or wireless communication link. A wireless communication system may support operation on multiple carriers (waveform signals of different frequencies). A multicarrier transmitter may transmit modulated signals on the multiple carriers simultaneously. For example, each communication link may be a multicarrier signal modulated according to various radio technologies. Each modulated signal may be transmitted on a different carrier and may carry control information (e.g., reference signals, control channels, etc.), overhead information, data, and so on.

The base station may communicate wirelessly with the terminal 11 via one or more access point antennas. Each base station may provide communication coverage for a respective corresponding coverage area. The coverage area of an access point may be partitioned into sectors that form only a portion of that coverage area. A wireless communication system may include different types of base stations (e.g., macro base stations, micro base stations, or pico base stations). The base station may also utilize different radio technologies, such as cellular or WLAN radio access technologies. The base stations may be associated with the same or different access networks or operator deployments. The coverage areas of different base stations, including coverage areas of the same or different types of base stations, coverage areas utilizing the same or different radio technologies, or coverage areas belonging to the same or different access networks, may overlap.

The communication link in the wireless communication system may include an Uplink for carrying Uplink (UL) transmissions (e.g., from the terminal 11 to the network-side device 12) or a Downlink for carrying Downlink (DL) transmissions (e.g., from the network-side device 12 to the terminal 11). UL transmissions may also be referred to as reverse link transmissions, while DL transmissions may also be referred to as forward link transmissions. Downlink transmissions may be made using licensed bands, unlicensed bands, or both. Similarly, uplink transmissions may be made using licensed bands, unlicensed bands, or both.

In order to support the network side equipment to obtain complete downlink channel information through channel interoperability under any configuration condition of the UE, the UE can report the self-supported receiving and transmitting capability to the network side equipment, so that the network side equipment configures corresponding SRS resources for the UE according to the capability reported by the UE.

The transceiving capability of the UE includes the following: the number of the receiving and transmitting channels is the same (tr-equivalent), a transmitting channel two receiving channels (t 12 r), a transmitting channel four receiving channels (t 1r 4), a transmitting channel four receiving channels (t 2r 4), a transmitting channel four receiving channels (t 1r 4), and a transmitting channel four receiving channels (t 2r 4).

The UE reports the enumerated candidate value as the transceiving capacity to the network side equipment, and the network side equipment configures corresponding SRS resources for the UE according to the transceiving capacity reported by the terminal, wherein the configuration of the SRS resources corresponds to the transceiving capacity of the UE.

Therefore, the network side equipment can obtain complete downlink channel information through channel diversity under any receiving and transmitting configuration condition of the UE. However, the UE can only report a supported transceiving capability, and the network side device can only configure corresponding SRS resources according to the capability reported by the UE, so that the SRS resources cannot be flexibly configured for the terminal.

Therefore, the report of various receiving and transmitting capabilities supported by the terminal can be realized through less bit overhead, and further the network side equipment can flexibly configure SRS resources for the terminal.
