Description

Method and apparatus in a node used for wireless communication

Technical Field

The present application relates to a transmission method and apparatus in a wireless communication system, and in particular, to a transmission method of a PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) under Release 17 in wireless communication.

Background

In the future, the application scenes of the wireless communication system are more and more diversified, and different application scenes put different performance requirements on the system. In the conventional LTE (Long-Term Evolution ) and LTE-a (Long-Term Evolution Advanced, enhanced Long-Term Evolution) systems, in order to improve transmission bandwidth and increase the capacity of a PDCCH, a Carrier Aggregation (Carrier Aggregation) technology is introduced, that is, a Scheduling Carrier can schedule another Carrier in a cross-Carrier Scheduling manner, and in consideration of system stability and realizability, a primary cell (PCell) can only be Self-scheduled (Self-Scheduling).

In 5G and subsequent Release 17 edition evolution, DSS (Dynamic Spectrum Sharing) technology realizes Sharing of LTE and 5G Spectrum; further, when a primary cell of the terminal is an NR (New Radio Access Technology) carrier and a secondary cell (SCell) is an LTE carrier, the NR carrier can be scheduled through the LTE carrier. Research on DSS related technologies is decided at # 86-time congress of RAN (Radio Access Network), and standardization is started.

Disclosure of Invention

In the conventional PDCCH blind detection of Release 16, a terminal may maintain a maximum number of Control Channel candidates (PDCCH candidates) Monitored (Monitored) for a Serving Cell (Serving Cell) in a Downlink Bandwidth Part (DL BWP, Downlink Bandwidth Part) in a Slot (Slot) and a maximum number of Control Channel Elements (CCE) of Non-Overlapped (Non-Overlapped); when the total control channel alternatives and the total number of non-overlapping CCEs that the terminal needs to monitor exceed the upper limit, the terminal performs blind detection according to the Search Space Set identifier (Search Space Set ID) from small to large under the condition of ensuring the blind detection times of the CSS (Common Search Space), and a Search Space Set with a larger Search Space Set identifier is more easily discarded (Dropping).

In the DSS scenario, when one Scheduled Cell (Scheduled Cell) can be Scheduled by multiple Scheduling Cells (Scheduling Cells), and the Scheduling Cell and the Scheduled Cell respectively employ different SCS (sub-carrier Spacing), the above discarding mechanism needs to be redefined.

In view of the above, the present application provides a solution. It should be noted that, in the above problem description, the multi-carrier is only used as a typical application scenario or example.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment of radio protocol architecture for the user plane 350 and the control plane 300, fig. 3 showing the radio protocol architecture for the control plane 300 between a first communication node device (UE, RSU in gbb or V2X) and a second communication node device (gbb, RSU in UE or V2X) in three layers: layer 1, layer 2 and layer 3. Layer 1(L1 layer) is the lowest layer and implements various PHY (physical layer) signal processing functions. The L1 layer will be referred to herein as PHY 301. Layer 2(L2 layer) 305 is above PHY301 and is responsible for the link between the first communication node device and the second communication node device through PHY 301.

Example 4

Embodiment 4 shows a schematic diagram of a first communication device and a second communication device according to the present application, as shown in fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a block diagram of a first communication device 450 and a second communication device 410 communicating with each other in an access network.

The first communications device 450 includes a controller/processor 459, a memory 460, a data source 467, a transmit processor 468, a receive processor 456, a multi-antenna transmit processor 457, a multi-antenna receive processor 458, a transmitter/receiver 454, and an antenna 452.

The second communication device 410 includes a controller/processor 475, a memory 476, a receive processor 470, a transmit processor 416, a multiple antenna receive processor 472, a multiple antenna transmit processor 471, a transmitter/receiver 418, and an antenna 420.

In the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, at the second communication device 410, upper layer data packets from the core network are provided to the controller/processor 475. The controller/processor 475 implements the functionality of layer L2. In transmissions from the second communications device 410 to the first communications device 450, the controller/processor 475 provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, multiplexing between logical and transport channels, and radio resource allocation to the first communications device 450 based on various priority metrics. The controller/processor 475 is also responsible for retransmission of lost packets, and signaling to the first communication device 450. The transmit processor 416 and the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 implement various signal processing functions for the L1 layer (i.e., the physical layer). The transmit processor 416 implements coding and interleaving to facilitate Forward Error Correction (FEC) at the second communication device 410, as well as mapping of signal constellation based on various modulation schemes (e.g., Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), M-phase shift keying (M-PSK), M-quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM)). The multi-antenna transmit processor 471 performs digital spatial precoding, including codebook-based precoding and non-codebook based precoding, and beamforming processing on the coded and modulated symbols to generate one or more spatial streams. Transmit processor 416 then maps each spatial stream to subcarriers, multiplexes with reference signals (e.g., pilots) in the time and/or frequency domain, and then uses an Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) to generate the physical channels carrying the time-domain multicarrier symbol streams. The multi-antenna transmit processor 471 then performs transmit analog precoding/beamforming operations on the time domain multi-carrier symbol stream. Each transmitter 418 converts the baseband multicarrier symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 into a radio frequency stream that is then provided to a different antenna 420.

In a transmission from the second communications apparatus 410 to the first communications apparatus 450, each receiver 454 receives a signal through its respective antenna 452 at the first communications apparatus 450. Each receiver 454 recovers information modulated onto a radio frequency carrier and converts the radio frequency stream into a baseband multi-carrier symbol stream that is provided to a receive processor 456. Receive processor 456 and multi-antenna receive processor 458 implement the various signal processing functions of the L1 layer. A multi-antenna receive processor 458 performs receive analog precoding/beamforming operations on the baseband multi-carrier symbol stream from the receiver 454. Receive processor 456 converts the baseband multicarrier symbol stream after the receive analog precoding/beamforming operation from the time domain to the frequency domain using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). In the frequency domain, the physical layer data signals and the reference signals to be used for channel estimation are demultiplexed by the receive processor 456, and the data signals are subjected to multi-antenna detection in the multi-antenna receive processor 458 to recover any spatial streams destined for the first communication device 450. The symbols on each spatial stream are demodulated and recovered at a receive processor 456 and soft decisions are generated. The receive processor 456 then decodes and deinterleaves the soft decisions to recover the upper layer data and control signals transmitted by the second communications device 410 on the physical channel. The upper layer data and control signals are then provided to a controller/processor 459. The controller/processor 459 implements the functionality of the L2 layer. The controller/processor 459 may be associated with a memory 460 that stores program codes and data. Memory 460 may be referred to as a computer-readable medium. In transmissions from the second communications device 410 to the second communications device 450, the controller/processor 459 provides demultiplexing between transport and logical channels, packet reassembly, deciphering, header decompression, control signal processing to recover upper layer packets from the core network. The upper layer packet is then provided to all protocol layers above the L2 layer. Various control signals may also be provided to L3 for L3 processing.

In a transmission from the first communications device 450 to the second communications device 410, a data source 467 is used at the first communications device 450 to provide upper layer data packets to a controller/processor 459. Data source 467 represents all protocol layers above the L2 layer. Similar to the send function at the second communications apparatus 410 described in the transmission from the second communications apparatus 410 to the first communications apparatus 450, the controller/processor 459 implements header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between logical and transport channels based on radio resource allocation, implementing L2 layer functions for the user plane and control plane. The controller/processor 459 is also responsible for retransmission of lost packets and signaling to said second communications device 410. A transmit processor 468 performs modulation mapping, channel coding, and digital multi-antenna spatial precoding by a multi-antenna transmit processor 457 including codebook-based precoding and non-codebook based precoding, and beamforming, and the transmit processor 468 then modulates the resulting spatial streams into multi-carrier/single-carrier symbol streams, which are provided to different antennas 452 via a transmitter 454 after analog precoding/beamforming in the multi-antenna transmit processor 457. Each transmitter 454 first converts the baseband symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmit processor 457 into a radio frequency symbol stream and provides the radio frequency symbol stream to the antenna 452.

In a transmission from the first communication device 450 to the second communication device 410, the functionality at the second communication device 410 is similar to the receiving functionality at the first communication device 450 described in the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450. Each receiver 418 receives an rf signal through its respective antenna 420, converts the received rf signal to a baseband signal, and provides the baseband signal to a multi-antenna receive processor 472 and a receive processor 470. The receive processor 470 and the multiple antenna receive processor 472 collectively implement the functionality of the L1 layer. Controller/processor 475 implements the L2 layer functions. The controller/processor 475 can be associated with a memory 476 that stores program codes and data. Memory 476 may be referred to as a computer-readable medium. In transmission from the first communications device 450 to the second communications device 410, the controller/processor 475 provides demultiplexing between transport and logical channels, packet reassembly, deciphering, header decompression, control signal processing to recover upper layer packets from the UE 450. Upper layer data packets from the controller/processor 475 may be provided to a core network.
