Currently, in a high-speed railway network deployment, in order to solve the problem that a User Equipment (UE, which may also be referred to as a terminal device) needs to switch network devices frequently under a high-speed moving condition, a single frequency network (Single Frequency Network, SFN) transmission mode can be adopted in both a long term evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE) system and a New Radio (NR) system to perform network deployment, that is, synchronous transmission is performed in a plurality of cells at the same time and with the same frequency, so as to save frequency resources and improve spectrum utilization.
However, when the network deployment is performed by adopting the SFN transmission mode, the UE is affected by multiple doppler frequency offsets in opposite directions, so that the network device is required to perform frequency offset precompensation to eliminate the influence of the doppler frequency offset.

Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is evident that the embodiments described are some, but not all embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
The technical scheme of the invention can be applied to various communication systems, such as: global system for mobile communications (Global System of Mobile communication, GSM), code division multiple access (Code Division Multiple Access, CDMA) systems, wideband code division multiple access (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, WCDMA), general packet radio service (General Packet Radio Service, GPRS), long Term evolution/enhanced Long Term evolution (Long Term EvolutionAdvanced, LTE-a), NR, etc.
The user equipment UE, which may also be referred to as a Terminal equipment (Mobile Terminal), a Mobile user equipment, etc., may communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (Radio Access Network, RAN), and the user equipment may be Terminal equipment, such as Mobile phones (or "cellular" phones) and computers with Terminal equipment, for example, portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-built-in or vehicle-mounted Mobile devices, which exchange speech and/or data with the radio access network.

In the technical scheme of the invention, when the network deployment is carried out by adopting the SFN transmission mode, a plurality of remote radio heads (Remote Radio Head, RRH) are connected to the same baseband processing unit (Building Base band Unit, BBU), so that the UE does not need to frequently switch network equipment in the process of high-speed movement. As shown in fig. 1, multiple RRHs, RRH1 and RRH2, can send the same physical downlink shared channel (Physical downlink shared channel, PDSCH) data to the UE, which can move between RRH1 and RRH 2.
The following describes in detail the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides an information configuration method, which is executed by a network device, and includes the following flow steps:
step 101: and configuring target configuration information, wherein the target configuration information comprises at least one of target standard co-location QCL reference information and time allowance n.
The target QCL reference information corresponds to the demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resource, and is used for carrying out channel estimation and data demodulation by the terminal equipment; the time margin n is used for target handover of the terminal equipment, wherein the target handover comprises at least one of crystal oscillator frequency handover, spatial relation information (spacialrelation info) handover, transmission configuration indication state (Transmission Configuration Indicatorstate, TCI state) handover and transmission receiving point (Transmission Reception Point, TRP) handover.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the target configuration information may be configured, where the target configuration information includes at least one of target standard co-located QCL reference information and a time margin n. When the standard co-located QCL reference information is configured for the demodulation reference signal DMRS resource, the terminal device can refer to correct QCL information when performing channel estimation and data demodulation based on the DMRS resource. When the additional time margin n is configured, the terminal equipment can perform target switching based on the time margin n, that is, sufficient time margin is provided for the terminal equipment to perform target switching, so that the data demodulation capability of the terminal equipment is ensured, wherein the target switching comprises at least one of crystal oscillator frequency switching, spatial relationship information (spacial correlation info) switching, transmission configuration indication state (TCI state) switching and Transmission Receiving Point (TRP) switching. In this way, the system communication efficiency can be improved.
Optionally, the target configuration information may be used by the terminal device in a first process, where the first process is a process in which the terminal device moves from one of the first remote radio head RRH and the second RRH to the other in a network deployed by adopting an SFN transmission manner. Such as a process of moving from one of RRH1 and RRH2 in fig. 1 to the other.
Optionally, in the information configuration method according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the target configuration information includes target standard co-located QCL reference information, the target QCL reference information includes a target QCL reference source and target QCL parameters corresponding to the target QCL reference source. That is, the target QCL reference information can enable the DMRS resource to refer to the correct QCL source and the corresponding target QCL parameters when performing channel estimation and data demodulation.
Further optionally, the target QCL reference information satisfies at least one of the following conditions:
(1) The target QCL reference source is different from a first QCL reference source that includes a first tracking reference signal TRS resource and a second TRS resource.
Alternatively, the first TRS resource may be sent via the first RRH, and the second TRS resource may be sent via the second RRH.
(2) The target QCL parameter is different from a first QCL parameter, where the first QCL parameter is all QCL parameters in a QCL type corresponding to the first TRS resource and all QCL parameters in a QCL type corresponding to the second TRS resource.
It can be appreciated that when the target QCL reference source of the DMRS is configured as a QCL source different from the reference first TRS resource and the second TRS resource in the related art, and/or the target QCL parameter configuration corresponding to the target QCL reference source is different from the QCL parameter configuration corresponding to the QCL source referred to by the DMRS resource in the related art, a situation that the doppler frequency offset value is mismatched can be avoided.
Optionally, in the information configuration method according to the embodiment of the present invention, the specific content included in the target QCL reference information including the target QCL reference source and the corresponding target QCL parameter may be configured in a plurality of different schemes, including, but not limited to, the following cases described in the following specific embodiments:
detailed description of the preferred embodiments
In a first embodiment, the target QCL reference information is indicated to the terminal device based on a code point in a first downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI) signaling, where the code point includes a first TCI state and a second TCI state.
The QCL reference source in the first TCI state is a first TRS resource, and the QCL type in the first TCI state is QCL type A; the QCL reference source in the second TCI state is a second TRS resource, and the QCL type in the second TCI state is a QCL type A or a first QCL type; wherein the QCL parameter in the first QCL type is delay spread.
It may be appreciated that, in this specific embodiment, the target QCL reference information of the DMRS port may be indicated by the DCI as two TCI states contained in a code point in the TCI domain, i.e. the target QCL reference source of the DMRS port is configured as both the first TRS resource and the second TRS resource. The target QCL parameters corresponding to the target QCL reference source may jointly reference the QCL parameters in the QCL type a of the first TRS resource and the QCL parameters in the QCL type a of the second TRS resource. Alternatively, the QCL parameters corresponding to the target QCL type may refer to the QCL parameters in the QCL type a of the first TRS resource in combination with the newly defined QCL parameters in the first QCL type.
Wherein the QCL type A represents a QCL type, and the QCL parameters in the QCL type A are Doppler frequency offset, doppler spread, average time delay and time delay spread.
Further optionally, in this specific embodiment, in a case where the QCL type in the first TCI state and the QCL type in the second TCI state are both QCL type a, the target QCL reference source includes: a primary QCL reference source and a non-primary QCL reference source.
Wherein the main QCL reference source is one of a first TRS resource and a second TRS resource, and the non-main QCL reference source is the other one of the first TRS resource and the second TRS resource; the target QCL parameters include all QCL parameters in QCL type a corresponding to the main QCL reference source and partial QCL parameters in QCL type a corresponding to the non-main QCL reference source, where the partial QCL parameters are delay spread.
It can be appreciated that the target QCL reference source distinguishes between a first TRS resource and a second TRS resource, and that the target QCL parameter corresponding to the target QCL reference source is different from the first QCL parameter, at this time, the UE performs channel estimation and data demodulation by jointly referencing the delay spread of both the first TRS resource and the second TRS resource.
Further optionally, in one example, the first TRS resource or the second TRS resource is configured as a main QCL reference source, and the network device explicitly indicates to the terminal device through the first signaling; wherein the first signaling includes radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) signaling, medium access control (Medium Access ControlControl Element, MAC CE) signaling, or downlink control information, DCI, signaling.
Further optionally, in another example, the first TRS resource or the second TRS resource is configured as a main QCL reference source, and the network device implicitly indicates to the terminal device through a first sequence, where the first sequence is a front-to-back sequence of the first TCI state and the second TCI state in the code point, and the main QCL reference source is a TRS resource in a TCI state arranged in front in the code point.
For example, in the process of frequency offset precompensation shown in fig. 3, the crystal frequency of the network device is fc, and the crystal frequency of the UE is fc+fo. Specifically, the following contents can be included:
step 201: frequency offset estimation based on synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal and PBCH block, SSB) resources.
The network device configures two resource sets SSB1 and SSB2 to be sent from RRH1 and RRH2, respectively, to the UE. And the UE respectively estimates Doppler frequency offsets as delta f1-fo and delta f2-fo according to the received SSB1 and SSB 2. Further, the UE may decide to adjust the crystal oscillator frequency according to the frequency offset estimation result corresponding to SSB1 or SSB2 according to the signaling instruction sent in advance by the network device. If the network equipment indicates to adjust the crystal oscillator frequency according to the frequency offset estimation result delta f1 corresponding to the SSB1, the crystal oscillator frequency is adjusted to fc+delta f1; and if the network equipment indicates to adjust the crystal oscillator frequency according to the frequency offset estimation result delta f2 corresponding to the SSB2, the crystal oscillator frequency is adjusted to fc+delta f2. In this embodiment, a case is specifically described in which the network device instructs to adjust the crystal oscillator frequency according to the frequency offset estimation result Δf1 corresponding to SSB 1.
Step 203: frequency offset estimation based on TRS resources.
The network device configures two TRS resource sets TRS1 and TRS2 to be sent from RRH1 and RRH2, respectively, to the UE. And the UE respectively estimates the Doppler frequency offset to be 0 and delta f 2-delta f1 according to the received TRS1 and TRS 2. Further, the UE may decide to adjust the crystal oscillator frequency according to the frequency offset result corresponding to TRS1 or TRS2 according to the signaling instruction sent in advance by the network device. Then, if the network device indicates to adjust the crystal oscillator frequency according to the frequency offset estimation result 0 corresponding to the TRS1, the crystal oscillator frequency is adjusted to fc+Δf1; and if the network equipment indicates to adjust the crystal oscillator frequency according to the frequency offset estimation result delta f 2-delta f1 corresponding to the TRS2, the crystal oscillator frequency is adjusted to fc+delta f2. In this embodiment, a case is specifically described in which the network device instructs to adjust the crystal oscillator frequency according to the frequency offset estimation result 0 corresponding to TRS 1.
Step 205: and estimating the frequency offset of the uplink network equipment.
The UE transmits an uplink sounding reference signal (Sounding Reference Signal, SRS) at a crystal oscillator frequency fc+Δf1, and the network device estimates doppler frequency offsets Δf1 and Δf2 on RRH1 and RRH2 according to the SRS.
Step 207: after the network device performs frequency offset pre-compensation, the same PDSCH is sent from RRH1 and RRH 2.
When the UE receives the PDSCH, the DMRS carries out channel estimation according to TCI state indicated in advance by RRC, MAC CE and DCI domain, and the specific indication is as follows:
the RRC configures M TCI states from which the MACCE activates N TCI states (N.ltoreq.8), and the DCI indicates one of the N TCI states. For example, QCL reference information of two TCI states represented by code points in the DCI domain at this time is: the QCL reference source of the DMRS in the first TCI state is TRS1, and the QCL type is QCL type A; the QCL reference source of DMRS in the second TCI state is TRS2, and the QCL type is QCL type a.
In addition, the main QCL reference source is signaled as TRS1 in the first TCI state. Or implicitly indicating that TCI state1 with the front sequence in the code point is a main QCL reference source according to the sequence of TCI states in the code point { TCI state1, TCI state2 }. Since the UE can learn from higher layer signaling that it is in the high-speed rail SFN network, it defaults to delay spread of its reference non-primary QCL reference source TRS 2. I.e., DMRS references the average delay, delay spread, doppler frequency offset, and doppler spread of TRS1, but references only the delay spread of TRS2 (part of the QCL parameters in QCL type a). When the UE performs DMRS channel estimation, the UE needs to combine the delay information of TRS1 and TRS 2.
Further optionally, in this specific embodiment, in a case where the QCL type in the first TCI state is QCL type a and the QCL type in the second TCI state is the first QCL type, the target QCL reference source includes a first TRS resource and a second TRS resource; the target QCL parameters include: all QCL parameters in the QCL type corresponding to the first TRS resource, and all QCL parameters in the first QCL type corresponding to the second TRS resource.
It can be appreciated that the target QCL parameters corresponding to the target QCL reference source are different from the first QCL parameters, at which time the UE will jointly reference the delay spread of both the first TRS resource and the second TRS resource for channel estimation and data demodulation.
For example, the frequency offset pre-compensation process shown in fig. 4 includes the steps 301, 303 and 305 substantially the same as the steps 201, 203 and 205 shown in fig. 3, and will not be described herein. The differences are as follows:
step 307: after the network device performs frequency offset pre-compensation, the same PDSCH is sent from RRH1 and RRH 2.
When the UE receives the PDSCH, the DMRS carries out channel estimation according to TCI state indicated in advance by RRC, MAC CE and DCI domain, and the specific indication is as follows:
The RRC configures M TCI states from which the MAC-CE activates N TCI states (N.ltoreq.8), and the DCI indicates one of the N TCI states. For example, QCL reference information corresponding to two TCI states indicated by code points in the DCI domain at this time is: the QCL reference source of the DMRS in the first TCI state is TRS1, and the QCL type is QCL TypeA { Doppler frequency offset, doppler spread, average time delay and time delay spread }; the QCL reference source of the DMRS in the second TCI state is TRS2, and the QCL type is QCL type { delay spread } (i.e., the first QCL type). At this time, the DMRS refers to the average delay, delay spread, doppler frequency offset, and doppler spread of the TRS1, and refers to the delay spread of the TRS 2. When the UE performs DMRS channel estimation, the UE needs to combine the delay information of TRS1 and TRS 2.
Second embodiment
In a second embodiment, the target QCL reference resource is a third TRS resource, the third TRS resource is sent after frequency offset precompensation, the QCL reference source of the third TRS resource is a first TRS resource or a second TRS resource, the QCL type referred to by the third TRS resource is a QCL type c or a second QCL type, and the first TRS resource, the second TRS resource and the third TRS resource are all periodic TRS resources.
Wherein the second QCL type is any QCL type other than QCL type a, QCL type b, QCL type c, and QCL type d; the target QCL parameters are all QCL parameters in the QCL TypeA.
Wherein, the above-mentioned QCL type B, QCL type C and QCL type D all represent QCL types, the QCL parameters in the QCL type B are Doppler frequency offset and Doppler spread, the QCL parameters in the QCL type C are Doppler frequency offset and average time delay, and the QCL parameters in the QCL type D are space receiving parameters.
It may be appreciated that the target QCL reference source is different from the first QCL reference source, and specifically, the periodic TRS resource, that is, the third TRS resource, that is transmitted between performing frequency offset precompensation and transmitting the same PDSCH may be used as the QCL reference source; wherein the third TRS resource references another periodic TRS resource (i.e., the first TRS resource or the second TRS resource) with QCL type c.
Alternatively, the third TRS resource may be transmitted after performing frequency offset pre-compensation via the first RRH and the second RRH, and before transmitting the same physical downlink shared channel PDSCH via the first RRH and the second RRH.
For example, the frequency offset pre-compensation process shown in fig. 5 includes the steps 401, 403 and 405 substantially the same as the steps 201, 203 and 205 shown in fig. 3, and are not described herein. The differences are as follows:
step 407: after the network device performs frequency offset pre-compensation, the same TRS3 is sent from RRH1 and RRH 2. When receiving TRS3, the UE carries out timing and frequency offset adjustment by taking TRS1 as a QCL reference and the QCL type as QCL type C according to the TCI state indicated in advance by RRC, MAC CE and DCI domains, and estimates new timing, time delay expansion, doppler frequency offset and Doppler expansion.
Step 409: after the network device performs frequency offset pre-compensation, the same PDSCH is sent from RRH1 and RRH 2.
When the UE receives the PDSCH, the DMRS carries out channel estimation according to the RRC, the MAC CE and the TCI state indicated in advance by the DCI domain, wherein the TCI state specifically indicated by the DCI is as follows: the QCL reference source of DMRS is TRS3 and the QCL type is QCL type a.
That is, a novel QCL relationship is configured in which one periodic TRS resource is subject to another periodic TRS resource as a target QCL reference source, i.e., the QCL reference of TRS3 is configured as TRS1 or TRS2, the QCL Type can be configured as QCL Type C or other newly defined QCL Type, the QCL reference source of the DMRS is configured as TRS3, and the QCL Type is QCL Type A
Detailed description of the preferred embodiments
In this third embodiment, the target QCL reference source of the DMRS is configured as a specific DMRS resource, and the target QCL parameters are all QCL parameters in QCL type a. The indication information of the specific DMRS resource is configured through a second signaling, where the second signaling includes RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, or DCI signaling.
It is to be appreciated that the target QCL reference source is different from the first QCL reference source, and may specifically be a specific DMRS resource that is pre-specified.
Further optionally, in one example, in a case where the DMRS resource transmitted in one slot (slot) or two consecutive slots is a specific DMRS resource, the target QCL reference source is a specific DMRS resource.
It may be appreciated that the target QCL reference source is different from the first QCL reference source, specifically, the QCL reference source configured for the DMRS resource is itself, that is, is a specific DMRS resource specified in advance.
Alternatively, in the case that the DMRS resource transmitted in one time slot or two consecutive time slots via the first RRH and the second RRH is a specific DMRS resource, the QCL reference source configured for the DMRS resource may be a specific DMRS resource indicated in advance. Further optionally, in another example, in a case where the DMRS resource transmitted in one time slot or two consecutive time slots is not a specific DMRS resource, the target QCL reference source is the specific DMRS resource transmitted last time before the DMRS resource is transmitted.
Alternatively, in the case that the DMRS resource transmitted in the time slot or the two consecutive time slots via the first RRH and the second RRH is not a specific DMRS resource, the QCL reference source configured for the DMRS resource may be a specific DMRS resource indicated in advance.
Optionally, in the information configuration method according to the embodiment of the present invention, the target handover may be indicated to the terminal device in different manners, including but not limited to the following specific embodiments:
detailed description of the preferred embodiments
In a first embodiment of the present invention, the time margin n is used for the terminal device to perform target handover in a handover period after receiving the target signaling, where the handover period is a period corresponding to a time T to a time (t+n), the time T is used for the terminal device to send a positive acknowledgement ACK message corresponding to the target signaling, the target handover is completed after the time (t+n) is agreed by the protocol, and no signal transmission is performed in the time margin n; the target signaling comprises media access control unit (MAC CE) signaling or physical layer control signaling.
The time margin n, the time T, and the time (t+n) are in milliseconds.
It will be appreciated that the above-described target handover is indicated explicitly by the network device to the terminal device by target signaling. Meanwhile, the additional n millisecond time allowance is provided, so that the UE is ensured to have enough time allowance to finish corresponding target switching, and the data demodulation capability of the terminal equipment is ensured.
Optionally, in the first example, in the case where the target signaling is MAC CE signaling or physical layer control signaling and the target signaling is first spatialreactioninfo handover signaling, the target handover is completed after time (t+3+n1) by the protocol convention, where n=3+n1. Optionally, the target handover is the above-mentioned spatlrelationinfo handover.
