Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail and completely with reference to the following specific embodiments of the present application and the accompanying drawings. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a directional structure configuration of a time slot between a network device and a terminal device.
Slot structure indication information, for example, indication information (SFI) of a frame structure implemented by a NR system downlink control signaling (DCI) format 2_0. The network device transmits the DCI format 2 _0of the SFI in the time slot n at time t0, and the indication information arrives at the terminal device side at time t2 and is detected by the terminal device. According to the indication method of DCI format 2_0 in the prior art, the SFI transmitted in slot n indicates the slot structure of L slots starting from slot n, which is illustrated by L =10 in fig. 1 and is represented by a particle with a shaded pattern. In addition, the terminal device needs to transmit the uplink transmission corresponding to the time slot n at time t 0. In order to meet the requirement of uplink synchronous transmission, the uplink timing t0 of the terminal equipment is advanced compared with the time t2, and the advanced time length is called timing advance and is about twice time delay. However, the time slot configuration from time slot n to time slot n +9 reaches the terminal device side at time t2 and is detected by the terminal device. Thus, the terminal device cannot complete the physical layer related processes such as measurement, scheduling, information detection and transmission according to the indication of the SFI before the time t 2.
However, in a system such as ground-to-air communication or satellite communication, the air propagation delay of a signal is large, ranging from several milliseconds to hundreds of milliseconds, and if the indication method of DCI format 2 \ u 0 in the prior art is still used, because the delay is large (for example, 20 ms), the terminal device cannot transmit uplink data when uplink data should be transmitted and receive downlink data when downlink data should be received in L time slots (for example, 10 ms) consecutive from the time t 2. When the terminal device is likely to send uplink data, the terminal device has not obtained an information indication that a symbol corresponding to the uplink data is an uplink symbol; it is also possible that when the terminal device should receive the downlink data, the terminal device has not obtained an information indication that the symbol corresponding to the downlink data is a downlink symbol. That is, the terminal device cannot correctly identify and/or use the directional structure configuration of the slot indicated by the SFI.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the directional configuration of the time slot between the network device and the terminal device according to the present invention.
The embodiment of the application provides a transmission time slot format indicating method, which comprises time slot structure indicating information, wherein the time slot structure indicating information is used for indicating the directional structure configuration of L time slots from the second time slot (L is an integer larger than 0, namely L is more than or equal to 1); receiving the slot structure indication information in a first slot; the time interval between the second time slot and the first time slot is not less than the set duration; the set time length is not less than the length of 1 time slot.
The directional structure configuration of the present application is used to indicate a combination manner of an uplink symbol, a downlink symbol, and a flexible symbol in a timeslot structure combination. For example, one timeslot structure combination includes L (the number of timeslots of DCI format 2 _0standard is denoted as maxnrof slot format combining pserset, and the maxnrof slot format combining pserset may be 5, 10, 20, etc.) timeslot structures, each timeslot structure includes 14 symbols, and each symbol is configured as an uplink symbol, a downlink symbol, or a flexible symbol.
In order to fully utilize the transmission resources, the value of L may be greater than or equal to the period of the terminal device detecting the timeslot structure indicator information. For example, if the slot structure indication information is DCI format 2 \, and the value of maxnrof slotsetformationslorsert included in the slot structure indication information is greater than the detection period of the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) related to DCI format 2 \0, L is equal to maxnrof slotsetformationslorsert; if the value of maxnrof slotformatcombinationspersset is smaller than the PDCCH detection period related to DCI format 2_0, then L is taken to be equal to the period. The PDCCH detection period related to DCI format 2_0 may be, for example, 10 slots long.
Preferably, the timeslot structure indicator indicates that symbols in the L timeslots are a combination of an uplink symbol, a downlink symbol, and a flexible symbol. Each slot contains M symbols (e.g., M = 14), and each symbol is used for uplink, downlink, or flexible purposes. For example, as described in 3gpp TS38.213, table 11.1.1, section 11.1-1, the symbols in each slot are divided into three classes: the downlink symbol (marked as D), the uplink symbol (marked as U) and the flexible symbol (marked as F) support at most 256D/U/F configuration modes.
With respect to the time interval (Δ t) between the first and second time slots. Optionally, the Δ t duration is preconfigured by the network device to the terminal device. For example, the network device indicates reference information indicating the Δ t duration to the terminal device by broadcast information. There may be multiple terminal devices in the network, and the network device may determine the reference information according to a maximum value of transmission delay between each terminal device and the network device. Or, the network device determines the indication information of the delta t duration according to the transmission delay between the terminal device and the network device, and indicates the indication information to the terminal device through the information special for the terminal device.
Preferably, the set time duration is not less than twice the time delay, where the time delay refers to the time difference between the time slot structure indication information being received and the time slot structure indication information being transmitted.
Further, the set time length is used as an uplink information Timing Advance (TA); the uplink information timing advance is an advance of a time unit start time for transmitting uplink data relative to a time unit start time for receiving downlink data. The "time unit" herein refers to a standard time duration for carrying uplink data or downlink data, such as a symbol time duration, a time slot or a structure of multiple time slots, and is not particularly limited. For example, when the Δ t is determined according to the timing advance of the terminal device, the network device indicates the timing advance to the terminal device, and the timing advance of the terminal device may be used to determine an advance between the timing time when the terminal device sends the uplink information and the timing time when the terminal device receives the downlink information.
The Δ t duration may be expressed in units of slot length, for example, as how many slots are separated between the first slot and the second time. Assume that the at duration comprises X slot lengths. The SFI sent by the network device to the terminal device includes the timeslot configurations of L timeslots starting from X timeslots after the SFI sending time, and the value of X is related to the air propagation delay of the network device and the terminal device. X is an integer greater than 0.
As shown in fig. 2, when the slot structure indication information of DCI format 2_0 is used, the time difference between the time slot in which the indication information is located and the start position of the time slot of the indicated slot structure is not less than the advance of uplink transmission of the terminal device. That is, it is preferable that Δ t is not less than the timing advance of the terminal device.
Further, the delay is a maximum value of transmission delays between the network device and the plurality of terminal devices, or the delay is a transmission delay between the network device and one terminal device.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the method of the present application for a network device.
Further, the method of the embodiment of the present application is applied to a network device, and includes the following steps 201 to 203.
Step 201, the network device sends the time slot structure indication information.
The time slot structure indication information is used for indicating the direction structure configuration of L time slots from the second time slot; in a first time slot, the time slot structure indication information is received by a terminal device; the time interval between the second time slot and the first time slot is not less than the set duration; the set duration is not less than the length of 1 time slot (L is an integer greater than 0).
Preferably, the timeslot structure indicator indicates that symbols in the L timeslots are combinations of uplink symbols, downlink symbols, and flexible symbols. Specifically, each of the slot structure indicators indicates that at least one symbol in the L slots is an uplink symbol, a downlink symbol, or a flexible symbol.
The time slot structure indication information sent to the terminal equipment by the network equipment comprises time slot configuration of L time slots starting from X time slots after the time slot structure indication sending moment, and the value of X is related to the air propagation delay from the network equipment to the terminal equipment. X is an integer greater than 0.
For example, the slot structure indication information is carried by semi-static configuration (RRC) signaling. The RRC configuration supports two modes, namely cell specific RRC configuration and terminal equipment specific RRC configuration. Wherein the configuration of the UE-specific can only configure the flexible symbols. At least a part of the symbols in the slot structure are configured and/or at least a part of the symbols are not configured by higher layer signaling.
For another example, the timeslot structure indication information is carried by downlink control signaling. Two ways of direct SFI indication and DCI scheduling decision can be implemented by DCI format 2_0. The SFI implements a periodic frame structure configuration mainly according to a supported slot format of a single slot. At least one part of symbols in the time slot structure are configured and/or at least one part of symbols are not configured through downlink control signaling
The timeslot structure indication information may also be combined by a semi-static configuration signaling and a downlink control signaling, and may be, for example:
uplink and downlink symbols of the semi-static uplink and downlink configuration cannot be modified, and flexible symbols of the semi-static uplink and downlink configuration can be configured by semi-static configuration, dynamic SFI and DCI;
or:
uplink and downlink symbols in the semi-static channel quality measurement configuration can be changed by the dynamic SFI and DCI configuration, once the change occurs, the behavior related to the semi-static channel quality measurement is terminated;
or:
the data transmission of the DCI configuration cannot collide with the uplink and downlink symbols of the SFI configuration, but the flexible part of the SFI configuration can be changed.
It should be noted that the symbols allocated by the SFI as uplink shall not be used for other DCI format scheduling to receive PDSCH or CSI-RS. The symbols allocated as downlink by DCI format 2_0 should not be scheduled by other DCI formats for transmitting PUSCH, PUCCH, PRACH or SRS. Symbols configured as uplink or downlink by higher layer signaling are not expected to be configured as reverse direction or flexible symbols by SFI.
It should be noted that, the symbol configured as a flexible symbol or an unconfigured symbol by the higher layer signaling needs to be considered at least as follows:
only when the SFI indication is a downlink symbol, if one or more symbols are configured for PDCCH monitoring, the symbol is used for transmitting PDCCH;
for the flexible symbol indicated by the SFI, the DCI may be used to transmit the PDSCH or CSI-RS, or the DCI may be used to transmit the PUSCH, PUCCH, PRACH, or SRS;
SFI indication is a flexible symbol that may not be used to send or receive data;
type 0SRS, PUCCH, scheduling-free PUSCH or PRACH triggered by a higher layer are only transmitted in the symbols which are configured to be uplink by SFI.
Step 202, the network equipment sends time indication information; the time indication information is used for indicating the time interval.
For example, the network device sends time indication information indicating Δ t duration to the terminal device through broadcast information; alternatively, the network device indicates to the terminal device via information specific to the terminal device.
As an alternative embodiment, the network device uses a preset value as the time interval.
Further, the set time length is used as an uplink information Timing Advance (TA); the uplink information timing advance is an advance of a time unit start time for transmitting uplink data relative to a time unit start time for receiving downlink data. The timing advance may be, for example, a time difference between uplink data transmission by the UE in an uplink symbol and downlink data reception in a downlink symbol, or a time difference between a start time of the directional configuration of the L slots for uplink data transmission by the UE and a start time of the directional configuration of the L slots for downlink data reception.
And when the delta t is determined according to the timing advance of the terminal equipment, the delta t is indicated to the terminal equipment by the network equipment. The timing advance of the terminal device may be used to determine an advance between a timing time when the terminal device transmits the uplink information and a timing time when the terminal device receives the downlink information. When the timing time is the starting time configured for the L time slot direction structures, the timing advance may be an amount of time that is advanced by the starting time configured for the direction structure of the uplink data of the terminal device on the basis of the second time slot. Preferably, the set duration is not less than twice the delay, where the delay refers to a time difference between the time slot structure indication information transmitted by the network device and the time slot structure indication information received by the terminal device.
Further, the delay is a maximum value of transmission delays between the network device and the plurality of terminal devices. There may be multiple terminal devices in the network, and the network device may determine the time indication information according to a maximum value of transmission delay between each terminal device and the network device.
Or, the delay is a transmission delay between the network device and a terminal device. The network equipment determines the delta t duration according to the transmission delay between the terminal equipment and the network equipment, and indicates the time indication information to the terminal equipment through the information special for the terminal equipment.
Step 203, the network device starts to use the directional structure configuration of the L slots after the time interval elapses from the transmission of the slot structure indication information.
After the network device sends the timeslot structure indication information, according to the timeslot structure indication information, the network device uses the directional structure configuration of the L timeslots, that is, according to the directional structure configuration indicated by the timeslot structure indication information, the network device receives uplink data and sends downlink data, or completes the processes of measurement, reporting, and the like.
The time interval for the network equipment to send the time slot structure indication information and the downlink data is not less than the set duration; preferably, the interval between the frame timing of the network device for transmitting the timeslot structure and the frame timing of the downlink data is equal to the time interval between the first timeslot and the second timeslot.
Preferably, the time interval between the network device sending the timeslot structure indication information and receiving the uplink data is not less than the set duration; preferably, the interval between the frame timing of the network device for transmitting the timeslot structure and the frame timing for receiving uplink data is equal to the time interval between the first timeslot and the second timeslot.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the method of the present application for a terminal device.
Further, the method of the embodiment of the present application is applied to a terminal device, and includes steps 301 to 303.
Step 301, the terminal device receives the timeslot structure indication information.
In step 301, the terminal device receives timeslot format indication information in a first timeslot, where the timeslot structure indication information is used to indicate directional structure configuration of L timeslots starting from a second timeslot; the time interval between the second time slot and the first time slot is not less than a set time length.
And the terminal equipment configures indication information of the time slot structure during blind detection according to the PDCCH search space configuration and the CORESET configuration corresponding to the time slot structure indication, and supposing that the time slot structure indication information is detected in the first time slot.
The timeslot structure indication information is the same as the foregoing embodiment, and is not described again here.
Step 302, the terminal device determines a time interval between a first time slot and a second time slot;
as a further optimized embodiment, the terminal device receives time indication information; the time indication information is used for indicating the time interval. As an alternative embodiment, the terminal device uses a preset value as the time interval.
For example, the terminal device receives the broadcast information to obtain time indication information representing the Δ t duration; or the terminal equipment obtains the time indication information through information which is sent by network equipment and is specially used for the terminal equipment.
The time interval between the second time slot and the first time slot is not less than the set duration; the value of the set duration is as in the previous embodiment, and is not described herein again.
For example, the terminal device receives semi-static configuration (RRC) signaling and obtains the timeslot structure indication information. At least a part of the symbols in the slot structure are configured and/or at least a part of the symbols are not configured by higher layer signaling.
For another example, the terminal device receives the downlink control signaling, and obtains the timeslot structure indication information. The downlink control signaling can be implemented by DCI format 2_0 in two ways, namely direct SFI indication and DCI scheduling decision. Through downlink control signaling, at least a part of symbols in the slot structure are configured and/or at least a part of symbols are not configured.
Step 303, the terminal device determines the direction structure configuration according to the timeslot structure indication information.
In step 303, the terminal device determines the directional structure configuration of the L timeslots according to the timeslot structure indication information.
The terminal equipment can determine the structure of the current time slot before sending the uplink data, thereby avoiding the problem that the terminal equipment can not finish the related processes of the physical layer, such as measurement, scheduling, information detection, sending and the like according to the indication of the SFI.
The timeslot structure indication indicates that at least one symbol in the L timeslots is an uplink symbol, a downlink symbol, or a flexible symbol. Preferably, the timeslot structure indicator indicates that each symbol in the L timeslots is an uplink symbol, a downlink symbol, or a flexible symbol, respectively.
Each slot contains M symbols (e.g., M = 14), and the usage of each symbol is classified into three categories, as described in table 11.1.1-1 of section 11.1.1 of 3gpp ts 38.213: downlink symbols (marked as D), uplink symbols (marked as U) and flexible symbols (marked as F), and at most 256D/U/F configuration modes are supported.
When the time slot structure indication information is in a mode of combining the semi-static configuration signaling and the downlink control signaling, the terminal equipment judges the received time slot structure indication information and determines the type of the symbol in each time slot.
For example:
and if the high-layer signaling configures the reception of the CSI-RS or the PDSCH, the terminal equipment receives the CSI-RS and the PDSCH only in the symbol which detects that the SFI is indicated to be downlink. If the higher layer signaling configures type 0SRS, PUCCH, scheduling-free PUSCH or PRACH transmission, the terminal equipment only transmits type 0SRS, PUCCH, scheduling-free PUSCH or PRACH when detecting the symbol indicated as uplink by SFI or the symbol having a part indicated as downlink or flexible by SFI but in a period of time from the last symbol of CORSET carrying SFI. If the terminal device does not detect that the SFI indicates that a plurality of symbols in one slot are flexible or uplink, the terminal device assumes that the symbols in the CORESET, which are configured for the terminal device to perform PDCCH monitoring, are downlink symbols.
When the high-layer signaling is configured to be a flexible symbol or an unconfigured symbol, but the terminal device does not monitor the SFI, at least the following conditions are considered:
the terminal equipment receives the DCI indication or the PDSCH or CSI-RS configured by the high-level signaling, and performs corresponding receiving operation;
and the terminal equipment receives the DCI indication or the PUSCH, PUCCH, PRACH or SRS transmission configured by the high-level signaling, and performs corresponding transmission operation.
And when the terminal equipment is configured by the high-layer signaling to receive the PDCCH, the PDSCH or the CSI-RS, but the DCI is not configured to transmit the PUSCH, the PUCCH, the PRACH or the SRS in an uplink manner, the terminal equipment receives the PDCCH, the PDSCH or the CSI-RS corresponding to the high-layer configuration.
