For the convenience of clearly describing the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, in the embodiments of the present application, if words such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish the same items or similar items with basically the same functions and actions, those skilled in the art can understand that the words such as "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity and execution order.
Several background information that is used in the examples of the present application is described below:
in NR (New Radio, New air interface), a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) supports 5 formats, as shown in the following table.
Figure BDA0002622911260000141
Wherein PUCCH format 1, format 3 and format 4 can use a PUCCH length of 14 symbols at maximum and support repeated transmission in multiple slots. When the repeated transmission is performed, the transmission is performed in each slot according to the same transmission length. PUCCH format 2 and format 3 support transmission on multiple RBs, PUCCH format 2 supports transmission on 1-16 Resource Blocks (RBs), and PUCCH format 3 supports transmission on a specific number of RBs as specified in table 1.
In the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system research process, a Precoding Vector Switching (PVS) transmit diversity scheme has been studied, which performs precoding between 2 antenna ports using a precoding Vector [ +1, +1] for a previous slot in a subframe and performs precoding between 2 antenna ports using a precoding Vector [ +1, -1] for a subsequent slot. The precoding vector is fixed, and is an open loop mode, and signaling is not needed to inform the precoding vector.
In order to enhance the coverage of the uplink control channel, the transmit diversity scheme of the uplink control channel may need to be considered in NR Rel-17. At present, uplink channels in NR are transmitted by using a single antenna, a transmit diversity scheme is not defined, and for cell edge users, the transmission performance of PUCCH is poor when the channel condition is poor, and the coverage requirement may not be met. If PVS transmit diversity in LTE is used, since the PUCCH in NR is not transmitted in subframe units, it is not clear how to divide two resource groups into two different precoding vectors, and the division into two resource groups may not be sufficient for round robin of the precoding vectors, and performance improvement is not significant.
In order to solve the problem, the core idea of the embodiments of the present application is: and dividing uplink channel resources into a plurality of resource groups based on a predefined mode, mapping each resource group to different antennas or antenna ports by using different precoding vectors, and transmitting the uplink channels in a diversity mode through an antenna set.
The present application is described in detail below with reference to several embodiments.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a transmission method of an uplink channel according to an embodiment of the present application; as shown in fig. 1, the method comprises the steps of:
step 100, after determining to transmit an uplink channel by using a precoding matrix switching diversity, dividing resources for transmitting the uplink channel into at least two resource groups, and mapping each resource group to an antenna set through precoding based on a precoding matrix; the antenna set comprises a plurality of physical antennas or a plurality of antenna ports;
specifically, the basic principle of diversity is to carry multiple copies of the same information through multiple sets of channel resources, and because the transmission characteristics of the multiple sets of channel resources are different, the fading of the multiple copies of the signal will not be the same. The base station receives a plurality of copies of the information through a plurality of groups of channel resources, and the information contained in the plurality of copies can be used for correctly recovering the original transmission signal.
Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to improve the performance of channel transmission, the uplink channel may be sent through diversity, that is, resources used for transmitting the uplink channel may be divided into at least two resource groups, and the uplink channel is transmitted through the at least two resource groups.
Specifically, when the uplink channel is transmitted through at least two resource groups, each resource group may be mapped to multiple antennas to transmit the uplink channel.
It can be understood that, in this embodiment, after determining to transmit the uplink channel using the precoding matrix switching diversity, the terminal may further divide the resource for transmitting the uplink channel into at least two resource groups, and transmit the uplink channel.
It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the determination of the terminal to transmit the uplink channel using the precoding matrix switching diversity may be determined based on an indication of the base station.
And 101, transmitting the uplink channel in a diversity mode through the antenna set.
Specifically, after the terminal divides the resources for transmitting the uplink channel into at least two resource groups and maps the at least two resource groups to the antenna set, the uplink channel can be sent in a diversity manner through the antenna set.
According to the uplink channel transmission method provided by the embodiment of the application, the resources for transmitting the uplink channel are divided into at least two resource groups, each resource group is mapped to the antenna set through precoding based on the precoding matrix, the uplink channel is sent in a diversity mode through the antenna set, the transmission performance of the uplink channel is improved, the transmission performance of the uplink channel is still good when the channel condition is poor for cell edge users, and the coverage requirement is met.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, the dividing the resource for transmitting the uplink channel into at least two resource groups includes:
dividing the resources for transmitting the uplink channel into at least two resource groups based on the number of the resources for transmitting the uplink channel divided in the time domain and the number of the resources for transmitting the uplink channel divided in the frequency domain;
specifically, in this embodiment, the number of time-domain partitions and the number of frequency-domain partitions of the resource for transmitting the uplink channel may be predefined or determined based on the parameters notified by the base station, and it can be understood that, since the time-domain resource and the frequency-domain resource are determined, the size of each resource group is determined after the number of time-domain partitions and the number of frequency-domain partitions of the uplink channel are determined.
It can be understood that, in this embodiment, when the resource for transmitting the uplink channel is divided into at least two resource groups based on the number X of the resource for transmitting the uplink channel divided in the time domain and the number Y of the resource for transmitting the uplink channel divided in the frequency domain, one group in the time domain and one group in the frequency domain are combined to obtain one resource group, that is, one uplink channel resource is divided into X × Y resource groups altogether.
It can be understood that, in the present embodiment, when X is preset to 1, Y is not preset to 1 in order to ensure that the uplink resources are divided into at least 2 resource groups.
Or dividing the resources for transmitting the uplink channel into at least two resource groups based on the number of the determined resource groups; the number of the resource groups is predefined or notified by the base station; and the resource occupied by each resource group is determined based on the uplink channel resource and the number of the resource groups.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of resource groups for dividing resources used for transmitting the uplink channel may be predetermined, and when the resources are specifically divided, the uplink channel resources may be divided into the resource groups of the determined number.
It is understood that the number of resource groups for dividing resources used for transmitting the uplink channel, that is, the number of the determined resource groups, may be predefined or notified by the base station;
it can be understood that, in this embodiment, in the case that the number of resource groups is determined, the resource occupied by each resource group may be determined based on the uplink channel resource and the number of resource groups.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, the dividing the resource for transmitting the uplink channel into at least two resource groups based on the number of the resource for transmitting the uplink channel divided in the time domain and the number of the resource for transmitting the uplink channel divided in the frequency domain includes:
determining that the resources for transmitting the uplink channel are divided into a preset number X in a time domain, and determining that the resources for transmitting the uplink channel are divided into a preset number Y in a frequency domain;
dividing the resources for transmitting the uplink channel based on the preset number X and the preset number Y to obtain at least two resource groups;
x is a value which is predefined or notified by a base station or a value determined based on the number of DMRS symbols of a demodulation reference signal and/or an uplink channel format, and Y is a value which is predefined or notified by the base station or a value determined based on the number of RB (resource block) contained in an uplink channel.
Specifically, if the resource for transmitting the uplink channel is to be divided into at least two resource groups based on the number of the resources for transmitting the uplink channel divided in the time domain and the number of the resources for transmitting the uplink channel divided in the frequency domain, it may be determined that the resources for transmitting the uplink channel are first divided in the time domain into a preset number X, and the resources for transmitting the uplink channel are determined to be divided in the frequency domain into a preset number Y, for example, X is determined to be 2 and Y is determined to be 2, that is, the uplink channel resources are divided in the time domain into 2, and the uplink channel is divided in the frequency domain into 2, the uplink channel resources are divided into 4 in total.
It can be understood that, in this embodiment, X may be a predefined value or a value notified by a base station or a value determined based on the number of DMRS symbols for demodulation reference signals and/or an uplink channel format, for example, the value of X may be 1, 2, or 4; y may be a predefined or base station notified value or a value determined based on the number of resource blocks RB contained in the uplink channel, for example, assuming that the number of RBs contained in the uplink channel is B, B RBs of the uplink channel resource are divided into Y groups, and each B/Y consecutive PUCCH RBs form a group, where B can be evenly divided by Y.
For example, when the value of X is 1, assuming that the uplink channel resource includes N symbols, the first resource group in the time domain is also the only resource group that includes N symbols, and it can be understood that when X is 1, Y may not be 1 in order to ensure transmission performance.
For example, when the value of X is 2, assuming that the uplink channel resource includes N symbols, the first resource group in the time domain includes floor (N/2) symbols, and the second resource group includes ceil (N/2) symbols.
For example, when the value X is 4, assuming that the uplink channel includes N symbols, a first resource group in the time domain includes ceil (floor (N/2)/2) symbols, a second resource group includes floor (floor (N/2)/2) symbols, a third resource group includes ceil (ceil (N/2)/2) symbols, and a fourth resource group includes floor (ceil (N/2)/2) symbols; where ceil () represents rounded up and floor () represents rounded down.
It is understood that in this embodiment, when resource group division is performed, ceil and floor used may be replaced with each other, but the principle of division is not changed.
For example, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating the partitioning of uplink channel resource groups according to an embodiment of the present application; as shown in fig. 2, when the terminal determines to transmit the uplink channel using precoding matrix switching diversity, for example, after the base station configures the terminal to use a precoding matrix switching based transmission diversity scheme, and the terminal is to transmit an uplink channel resource occupying 2 RBs and 14 symbols, the uplink channel includes 2 DMRS symbols, and the uplink channel resource is predefined to be divided into 2 groups in the time domain and 2 groups in the frequency domain, the terminal may divide the uplink channel resource into 4 resource groups, as shown in fig. 2, where the first 7 symbols of RB #1 are a first resource group Precoder 1, the last 7 symbols of RB #1 are a second resource group Precoder 2, the first 7 symbols of RB #2 are a third resource group Precoder 3, and the last 7 symbols of RB #4 are a fourth resource group Precoder 4, and the terminal maps transmission information on the physical antenna set or the antenna port set using different precoding matrices on the four resource groups, for example, the terminal transmits using two physical antennas, the precoding matrix on the first resource group Precoder 1 is {1,1}, the precoding matrix on the second resource group Precoder 2 is {1, -1}, the precoding matrix on the third resource group Precoder 3 is {1, j }, and the precoding matrix on the fourth resource group Precoder 4 is {1, -j }. And finally, the two physical antennas carry out diversity transmission on the uplink channel.
For example, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating uplink channel resource group division according to another embodiment of the present application; as shown in fig. 3, the base station configures the terminal to use a precoding matrix-based switching transmit diversity scheme, when the terminal transmits an uplink channel resource occupying 1 RB and 14 symbols, where the uplink channel includes 2 DMRS symbols, and assuming that the uplink channel resource is divided into 4 groups in the time domain when additional DMRS symbols are configured are predefined, the terminal may divide the uplink channel resource into 4 resource groups, as shown in fig. 2, where the first 3 symbols of RB #1 are a first resource group Precoder 1, the 4 th to 7 th symbols are a second resource group Precoder 2, the 8 th to 10 th symbols are a third resource group Precoder 3, and the 11 th to 14 th symbols are a fourth resource group Precoder 4, and the terminal uses different precoding matrices to map transmit information on a physical antenna set or an antenna port set on the four resource groups, for example, the terminal uses two physical antennas to transmit, the precoding matrix over the first set of resources is {1,1}, the precoding matrix over the second set of resources is {1, -1}, the precoding matrix over the third set of resources is {1, j }, and the precoding matrix over the third set of resources is {1, -j }. Alternatively, the four resource groups are rotated by precoding matrices {1,1} and {1, -1}, such as a precoding matrix {1,1} on the first resource group Precoder 1, a precoding matrix {1, -1} on the second resource group Precoder 2, a precoding matrix {1,1} on the third resource group Precoder 3, and a precoding matrix {1, -1} on the fourth resource group Precoder 4.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, the method further includes:
if the uplink channel is configured to be repeatedly transmitted, the value of X is an integer value less than or equal to the number of times a of repeated transmission of the uplink channel, or a value that is an even multiple of the number of times a of repeated transmission of the uplink channel.
Specifically, when the uplink channel is configured with repeat transmission, the value of X may be an integer value less than or equal to the number of repeat transmissions of the uplink channel, for example, every two repeat transmissions are transmitted by using the same resource group;
assuming that the repetition number of the uplink channel is a, for example, dividing a repeated transmissions of the uplink channel resource into X groups, and repeating the uplink channel in every a/X time slots/sub-time slots into one group, where a can be divided by X;
specifically, the value of X may also be 2 times or 4 times of the number of times of uplink channel repeat transmission;
for example, the uplink channel in each timeslot/sub-timeslot is divided into 2 or 4 resource groups based on a manner when no repeat transmission is configured, and assuming that the number of times of repetition of the uplink channel is a, the uplink channel is divided into 2 × a or 4 × a groups in the time domain.
For example, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating division of an uplink channel resource group according to another embodiment of the present application; as shown in fig. 4, when the base station configures the terminal to switch the transmit diversity scheme based on the precoding matrix, and the terminal transmits an uplink channel resource occupying 1 RB and 14 symbols, and the uplink channel is configured to repeat transmission 4 times, the terminal may divide the uplink channel resource into 4 resource groups, i.e., Precoder 1, Precoder 2, Precoder 3, and Precoder 4, as shown in fig. 4, where each time of repeated transmission is one resource group, the terminal maps transmission information on the four resource groups onto a physical antenna set or an antenna port set using different precoding matrices, e.g., the terminal transmits using two physical antennas, the precoding matrix on the first resource group, i.e., Precoder 1, the precoding matrix on the second resource group, i.e., Precoder 2, the precoding matrix on the third resource group, i.e., 1, j, and the precoding matrix on the fourth resource group Precoder 4 is {1, -j }. Alternatively, the four resource groups are rotated by precoding matrices {1,1} and {1, -1}, such as a precoding matrix {1,1} on the first resource group Precoder 1, a precoding matrix {1, -1} on the second resource group Precoder 2, a precoding matrix {1,1} on the third resource group Precoder 3, and a precoding matrix {1, -1} on the fourth resource group Precoder 4.
It should be noted that, this embodiment is described by taking as an example that the uplink channel occupies 1 RB and 4 repeated transmissions are divided into 4 resource groups, or 4 repeated transmissions are divided into two resource groups, where the first two repeated transmissions are the first resource group and the second two repeated transmissions are the second resource group. If the uplink channel resources in this embodiment occupy two RBs, it can also be divided into 8 resource groups, where each RB in each repeat transmission is a resource group; or divided into 4 resource groups, and 2 RBs repeatedly transmitted at one time are one resource group; or, the method can also be divided into two resource groups, the first two repeated transmissions are the first resource group, and the second two repeated transmissions are the second resource group.
For example, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating uplink channel resource group division according to still another embodiment of the present application; as shown in fig. 5, when the base station configures the terminal to use a precoding matrix-based switching transmit diversity scheme, and the terminal transmits an uplink channel resource occupying 1 RB and 14 symbols, and the uplink channel is configured to repeat transmission 4 times, the terminal may divide the uplink channel resource into 8 resource groups, i.e., Precoder 1, Precoder 2, Precoder 3, Precoder 4, Precoder 5, Precoder 6, Precoder 7, and Precoder 8, as shown in fig. 5, where each repeat transmission includes 2 resource groups, and the terminal maps transmit information on the 8 resource groups onto a physical antenna set or an antenna port set using different precoding matrices.
It should be noted that, this embodiment is described by taking as an example that the uplink channel occupies 1 RB and 4 times of repeated transmission is divided into 8 resource groups, if the uplink channel resource in this embodiment occupies two RBs, the uplink channel resource may also be divided into 16 resource groups, and each time of repeated transmission is divided into 4 resource groups in a manner similar to that in fig. 2; or the resource can be divided into 8 resource groups, the time domain division mode is unchanged, and two RBs on the frequency domain belong to the same resource group.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, the number of the determined resource groups is a small value taken from the first number and the second number;
and the first number is a preset resource group number Z, and the second number is determined according to the number N of DMRS symbols contained in the uplink channel, the repetition frequency A of the uplink channel and the number B of RBs contained in the uplink channel.
Specifically, if the number of resource groups is determined, the number of the final resource groups into which the resource groups are divided may be determined based on the first number of resource groups, i.e., the number Z, and the second number, i.e., the number N of DMRS symbols included in the uplink channel, the number a of repetitions of the uplink channel, and the number B of RBs included in the uplink channel.
Specifically, the values of the two are compared, if the first number, that is, the preset number Z of resource groups is smaller, the uplink channel resources are divided into Z, and if the second number is smaller, the number of the uplink channel resources is divided into the second number.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, the second number is determined by calculating according to the following formula, where the value of x is 2 or 4;
and if the number of the determined resource groups is the second number, each RB of the uplink channel in each uplink channel repeating time slot comprises min (N, x) resource groups, and each resource group comprises one RB and N/x DMRS symbols.
In particular, a second number min (N, x) a B may be specified, wherein x takes on a value of 2 or 4; if the number of the preset resource groups is Z, the number of DMRS symbols contained in the uplink channel is N, the number of times of repetition of the uplink channel is A, and the number of RBs contained in the uplink channel is B, if Z > -min (N, x) A x B, the uplink channel is divided into min (N, x) A x B resource groups; otherwise, the uplink channel is divided into Z resource groups.
Specifically, when the uplink channel is divided into min (N, x) a by B resource groups, each RB of the uplink channel in each uplink channel repetition slot includes min (N, x) resource groups, each resource group includes one RB and N/x DMRS symbols,
for example, if x is 2, the first resource group of each RB contains floor (N/2) symbols, and the second resource group contains ceil (N/2) symbols;
for example, if the number of DMRS symbols included in the uplink channel is greater than or equal to 4 and x is 4, the first resource group of each RB includes ceil (color (N/2)/2) symbols, the second resource group includes color (N/2)/2) symbols, the third resource group includes ceil (ceil (N/2)/2) symbols, and the fourth resource group includes color (ceil (N/2)/2) symbols.
For example, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating partitioning of uplink channel resource groups according to still another embodiment of the present application; as shown in fig. 6, the base station configuration terminal switches the transmit diversity scheme based on the precoding matrix, and indicates that the number of resource groups is 4. Assuming that x is predefined to be 1, when the terminal sends an uplink channel resource occupying 2 RBs and 14 symbols, and the number of DMRS symbols included in the uplink channel is 4, and no repeated transmission is configured, Z is 4, min (N, x) a × B — min (4,1) 1 × 2 — 2, and since Z > min (N, x) a × B, the terminal may divide the uplink channel resource into 2 resource groups, i.e., Precoder 1 and Precoder 2, as shown in fig. 6, and the terminal maps transmission information on multiple physical antennas or antenna ports using different precoding matrices on the two resource groups.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, if the number of the determined resource groups is the first number, the resource for transmitting the uplink channel is divided into Z resource groups according to a sequence that the repeated transmission is divided into different resource groups first, then the different RBs are divided into different resource groups, and then the resource in each RB is divided into different resource groups.
Specifically, when the uplink channel is divided into Z resource groups, the repeated transmission may be divided into different resource groups, then different RBs may be divided into different resource groups, and finally the resource in each RB may be divided into different resource groups, and the uplink channel may be divided into Z resource groups according to the division sequence.
For example, if Z < ═ a, a repeatedly transmitted uplink channels are divided into Z resource groups, and there may be multiple specific dividing manners, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment; if Z is greater than a and Z < ═ a × B, the a × B repeatedly transmitted uplink channel RB resources are divided into Z resource groups, and the specific division manner may be various, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment; if Z > a × B, the uplink channel resources are divided into Z resource groups, and the specific dividing manner may be various, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
For example, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating partitioning of uplink channel resource groups according to still another embodiment of the present application; as shown in fig. 7, the base station configuration terminal switches the transmit diversity scheme based on the precoding matrix, and indicates that the number of resource groups is 4. Assuming that x is 2 is predefined, when the terminal sends an uplink channel resource occupying 1 RB and 14 symbols, and the number of DMRS symbols included in the uplink channel is 2, and the uplink channel is configured to repeat transmission 4 times, Z is 4, min (N, x) a B min (2,2) 4B 1 — 8, since Z < min (N, x) a B, the terminal may divide the uplink channel resource into Z4 resource groups Precoder 1, Precoder,2, Precoder,3, and Precoder 4, as shown in fig. 7, where each repetition transmission is one resource group, and the terminal uses different precoding matrices to map transmission information on multiple physical antennas or antenna ports.
For example, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating partitioning of uplink channel resource groups according to still another embodiment of the present application; as shown in fig. 8, the base station configuration terminal switches the transmit diversity scheme based on the precoding matrix, and indicates that the number of resource groups is 4. Assuming that x is 4 is predefined, when a terminal sends an uplink channel resource occupying 2 RBs and 14 symbols, and the number of DMRS symbols included in the uplink channel is 2, and the uplink channel is configured to repeat transmission 4 times, Z is 4, min (N, x) a B min (2,4) 4B 2 min (2,4) 16, because Z < min (N, x) a B, the terminal may divide the uplink channel resource into 4 resource groups, i.e., Precoder 1, Precoder,2, Precoder,3, and Precoder 4, as shown in fig. 8, where each repetition transmission is one resource group, and the terminal uses different precoding matrices to map transmission information on multiple physical antennas or antenna ports on the four resource groups.
For example, fig. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating partitioning of an uplink channel resource group according to still another embodiment of the present application; as shown in fig. 9, the base station configuration terminal switches the transmit diversity scheme based on the precoding matrix, and indicates that the number of resource groups is 4. Assuming that x is 4 is predefined, when the terminal sends an uplink channel resource occupying 2 RBs and 14 symbols, and the uplink channel contains 2 DMRS symbols, and is configured to repeat transmission 2 times, Z is 4, min (N, x) a B min (2,4) 2 x 28, since Z < min (N, x) a B, the terminal may divide the uplink channel resource into 4 resource groups, i.e., Precoder 1, Precoder,2, Precoder,3, and Precoder 4, as shown in fig. 9, where two resource groups are divided into two resource groups in each repeat transmission, and the terminal maps transmission information on multiple physical antennas or antenna ports using different precoding matrices on these four groups.
It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the first number may also be equal to the second number, and then the first number is used as the determined number of resource groups or the second number is used as the determined number of resource groups.
For example, fig. 10 is a schematic diagram illustrating partitioning of uplink channel resource groups according to still another embodiment of the present application; as shown in fig. 10, the base station configuration terminal switches the transmit diversity scheme based on the precoding matrix, and indicates that the number of resource groups is 4. Assuming that x is 4 is predefined, when the terminal sends an uplink channel resource occupying 2 RBs and 14 symbols, and the uplink channel contains 2 DMRS symbols, and is not configured with repeated transmission, Z is 4, min (N, x) a × B min (2,4) 1 × 2 — 4, since Z × min (N, x) a × B, the terminal may divide the uplink channel resource into 4 resource groups Precoder 1, Precoder,2, Precoder,3, and Precoder 4, as shown in fig. 10, where each RB contains 2 resource groups, and the terminal uses different precoding matrices to map transmission information on multiple physical antennas or antenna ports on the four resource groups.
For example, fig. 11 is a schematic diagram illustrating partitioning of uplink channel resource groups according to still another embodiment of the present application; as shown in fig. 11, the base station configuration terminal switches the transmit diversity scheme based on the precoding matrix, and indicates that the number of resource groups is 4. Assuming that x is 4 is predefined, when the terminal sends an uplink channel resource occupying 1 RB and 14 symbols, and the number of DMRS symbols included in the uplink channel is 4, and no repeated transmission is configured, Z is 4, min (N, x) a ═ B ═ min (4,4) 1 ═ 4, because Z ═ min (N, x) a ═ B, the terminal may divide the uplink channel resource into 4 resource groups, i.e., precoding 1, precoding, 2, precoding, 3, and precoding 4, as shown in fig. 11, the terminal maps transmission information on multiple physical antennas or antenna ports using different precoding matrices on the four resource groups.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, the mapping each resource group onto an antenna set through precoding based on a precoding matrix includes:
the precoding is digital domain precoding or analog precoding, the digital domain precoding is mapped to an antenna set through a precoding matrix, and the analog precoding is mapped to the antenna set through space domain related information.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the precoding may be a digital domain precoding or an analog precoding.
If the precoding is digital domain precoding, i.e. based on matrix elements in the precoding matrix being mapped onto a set of antennas, for example, for a single-layer transmission uplink channel, when the number of transmit antennas is 2, the length of the precoding vector is 2, where the precoding vector may be {1,1}, {1, -1}, {1, -j }, and {1, j }, where the first element of each vector corresponds to a first antenna and the second element corresponds to a second antenna.
If the precoding is analog precoding, the analog precoding is mapped to the antenna set through the spatial domain related information. For example, the analog precoding is mapped onto a set of physical antennas or antenna ports by spatial correlation information, e.g., beam direction.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, the precoding matrix is randomly selected within at least two resource groups, or the precoding matrix is used within at least two resource groups based on a predefined order.
Specifically, the precoding matrix performs handover transmission in a plurality of resource groups, wherein the precoding matrix can be randomly selected in the plurality of resource groups, that is, each resource group randomly selects which precoding matrix to use when mapping to an antenna set; alternatively, the precoding matrix is used within a plurality of resource groups on a predefined order, i.e. each resource group selects the precoding matrix in a predefined order when mapped to the set of antennas.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, the number of rows/columns of the precoding matrix is greater than or equal to the number of physical antennas or the number of antenna ports in the antenna set.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of rows/columns of the precoding matrix is greater than or equal to the number of antennas or antenna ports for transmission, for example, for single-layer transmission, the number of rows of the precoding matrix is 1, that is, the length of the precoding vector is greater than or equal to the number of antennas or antenna ports for transmission.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, the determining to transmit the uplink channel using precoding matrix switching diversity includes:
based on the instruction of a base station or the stipulation of a protocol, when a common cyclic prefix is used, determining the transmission diversity switched by using a precoding matrix only for an uplink channel with the length of 10-14 symbols; or
Based on the instruction of a base station or the stipulation of a protocol, when an extended cyclic prefix is used, determining the transmission diversity switched by using a precoding matrix only for an uplink channel with the length of 10-12 symbols; or
Determining transmit diversity using precoding matrix switching only for a specific uplink channel format based on an indication of a base station or a specification of a protocol; or
Based on the instruction of the base station or the specification of the protocol, the transmission diversity switched by using the precoding matrix is determined only for the uplink channel hopping within the time slot.
In particular, the base station or protocol may instruct or specify that the terminal diversity transmit only in certain situations, such as only on special channels.
Such as transmit diversity that instructs the terminal to use precoding matrix switching only for uplink channels of a particular length. For example, when a common cyclic prefix is used, the terminal only uses the transmit diversity switched by the precoding matrix for the uplink channels with the length of 10-14 symbols; when the extended cyclic prefix is used, the terminal only uses the transmit diversity switched by the precoding matrix for the uplink channel with the length of 10-12 symbols; the uplink channel of unspecified length uses a single antenna transmission scheme.
Such as transmit diversity, which instructs the terminal to use precoding matrix switching only for certain uplink channel formats, e.g. diversity transmission only for uplink channel PUCCH formats 1, 3 and 4.

It can be understood that, in this embodiment, after determining that the terminal uses the precoding matrix switching diversity to transmit the uplink channel, the base station may divide the resource for transmitting the uplink channel into at least two resource groups for receiving the uplink channel.

Specifically, after the base station divides the resources for transmitting the uplink channel into at least two resource groups, the uplink channel sent by the terminal in diversity can be received on each resource group.
It can be understood that the uplink channel sent by the terminal in diversity is that when the terminal transmits the uplink channel through at least two resource groups, each resource group is mapped onto a different antenna, and the uplink channel is sent through different resource groups by the antenna.
The uplink channel transmission method provided by the embodiment of the application divides resources for transmitting the uplink channel into at least two resource groups, and receives the uplink channel sent by the terminal based on at least two resource group diversity, wherein the uplink channel is sent by the antenna set diversity after the terminal divides the resources for transmitting the uplink channel into at least two resource groups and maps each resource group to the antenna set through precoding based on a precoding matrix; the transmission performance of the uplink channel is improved, and for cell edge users, the transmission performance of the uplink channel is still better when the channel condition is poorer, so that the coverage requirement is met.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, the dividing the resource for transmitting the uplink channel into at least two resource groups includes:
dividing the resources for transmitting the uplink channel into at least two resource groups based on the number of the resources for transmitting the uplink channel divided in the time domain and the number of the resources for transmitting the uplink channel divided in the frequency domain;
specifically, in this embodiment, the number of time-domain partitions and the number of frequency-domain partitions of resources for transmitting the uplink channel may be predefined first, and it can be understood that, since the time-domain resources and the frequency-domain resources are fixed, the size of each resource group is predefined after the number of time-domain partitions and the number of frequency-domain partitions of the uplink channel are predefined.
It can be understood that, in this embodiment, when the resource for transmitting the uplink channel is divided into at least two resource groups based on the number X of the resource for transmitting the uplink channel divided in the time domain and the number Y of the resource for transmitting the uplink channel divided in the frequency domain, one group in the time domain and one group in the frequency domain are combined to obtain one resource group, that is, one uplink channel resource is divided into X × Y resource groups altogether.
It can be understood that, in the present embodiment, when X is preset to 1, Y is not preset to 1 in order to ensure that the uplink resources are divided into at least 2 resource groups.
Or dividing the resources for transmitting the uplink channel into at least two resource groups based on the number of the determined resource groups; the number of the resource groups is predefined or set by the base station, and correspondingly, the number of the set resource groups is sent to the terminal, so that the terminal divides the resources for transmitting the uplink channel into at least two resource groups based on the number of the resource groups; and the resource occupied by each resource group is determined based on the uplink channel resource and the number of the resource groups.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of resource groups for dividing resources used for transmitting the uplink channel may be predetermined, and when the resources are specifically divided, the uplink channel resources may be divided into the resource groups of the determined number.
It can be understood that, the number of resource groups for dividing resources used for transmitting the uplink channel is predefined, that is, the number of the determined resource groups may be predefined, or set by the base station, and it can be understood that, after the base station sets the number of the resource groups, the base station may also notify the number of the resource groups set by the terminal, so that the terminal can divide the resources used for transmitting the uplink channel into at least two resource groups based on the number of the resource groups;
it can be understood that, in this embodiment, in the case that the number of resource groups is determined, the resource occupied by each resource group may be determined based on the uplink channel resource and the number of resource groups.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, the dividing the resource for transmitting the uplink channel into at least two resource groups based on the number of the resource for transmitting the uplink channel divided in the time domain and the number of the resource for transmitting the uplink channel divided in the frequency domain includes:
determining that the resources for transmitting the uplink channel are divided into a preset number X in a time domain, and determining that the resources for transmitting the uplink channel are divided into a preset number Y in a frequency domain;
dividing the resources for transmitting the uplink channel based on the preset number X and the preset number Y to obtain at least two resource groups;
the method comprises the steps that X is predefined, or is a value determined based on the number of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) symbols and/or an uplink channel format, or is a value set by a base station, and correspondingly, the set value of X is sent to a terminal so that the terminal can determine that resources for transmitting the uplink channel are divided into a preset number of X in a time domain; y is predefined, or a value determined based on the number of Resource Blocks (RB) contained in the uplink channel, or a value set by the base station, and accordingly, the set value of Y is sent to the terminal so that the terminal can determine that the resource for transmitting the uplink channel is divided into the preset number Y in the frequency domain.
Specifically, if the resource for transmitting the uplink channel is to be divided into at least two resource groups based on the number of the resources for transmitting the uplink channel divided in the time domain and the number of the resources for transmitting the uplink channel divided in the frequency domain, it may be determined that the resources for transmitting the uplink channel are first divided in the time domain into a preset number X, and the resources for transmitting the uplink channel are determined to be divided in the frequency domain into a preset number Y, for example, X is determined to be 2 and Y is determined to be 2, that is, the uplink channel resources are divided in the time domain into 2, and the uplink channel is divided in the frequency domain into 2, the uplink channel resources are divided into 4 in total.
It can be understood that, in this embodiment, X may be a value predefined or set by a base station or a value determined based on the number of DMRS symbols for demodulation reference signals and/or an uplink channel format, for example, the value of X may be 1, 2, or 4; y may be a value predefined or set by the base station or a value determined based on the number of resource blocks RB contained in the uplink channel, for example, assuming that the number of RBs contained in the uplink channel is B, the B RBs of the uplink channel resource are divided into Y groups, and each B/Y consecutive PUCCH RBs form a group, where B can be evenly divided by Y.
It can be understood that when X or Y is set to a value by the base station, the base station can simultaneously transmit the value to the terminal, so that the terminal can use the same value to divide the same resource group as the base station.
For example, when the value of X is 1, assuming that the uplink channel resource includes N symbols, the first resource group in the time domain is also the only resource group that includes N symbols, and it can be understood that when X is 1, Y may not be 1 in order to ensure transmission performance.
For example, when the value of X is 2, assuming that the uplink channel resource includes N symbols, the first resource group in the time domain includes floor (N/2) symbols, and the second resource group includes ceil (N/2) symbols.
For example, when the value X is 4, assuming that the uplink channel includes N symbols, a first resource group in the time domain includes ceil (floor (N/2)/2) symbols, a second resource group includes floor (floor (N/2)/2) symbols, a third resource group includes ceil (ceil (N/2)/2) symbols, and a fourth resource group includes floor (ceil (N/2)/2) symbols; where ceil () represents rounded up and floor () represents rounded down.
It is understood that in this embodiment, when resource group division is performed, ceil and floor used may be replaced with each other, but the principle of division is not changed.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, the method further includes:
if the uplink channel is configured to be repeatedly transmitted, the value of X is an integer value less than or equal to the number of times a of repeated transmission of the uplink channel, or a value that is an even multiple of the number of times a of repeated transmission of the uplink channel.
Specifically, when the uplink channel is configured with repeat transmission, the value of X may be an integer value smaller than the number of repeat transmissions of the uplink channel, for example, every two repeat transmissions are transmitted by using the same resource group;
assuming that the repetition number of the uplink channel is a, for example, dividing a repeated transmissions of the uplink channel resource into X groups, and repeating the uplink channel in every a/X time slots/sub-time slots into one group, where a can be divided by X;
specifically, the value of X may also be 2 times or 4 times of the number of times of uplink channel repeat transmission;
for example, the uplink channel in each timeslot/sub-timeslot is divided into 2 or 4 resource groups based on a manner when no repeat transmission is configured, and assuming that the number of times of repetition of the uplink channel is a, the uplink channel is divided into 2 × a or 4 × a groups in the time domain.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, the number of the determined resource groups is a small value taken from the first number and the second number;
and the first number is a preset resource group number Z, and the second number is determined according to the number N of DMRS symbols contained in the uplink channel, the repetition frequency A of the uplink channel and the number B of RBs contained in the uplink channel.
Specifically, if the number of resource groups is determined, the number of the final resource groups into which the resource groups are divided may be determined based on the first number of resource groups, i.e., the number Z, and the second number, i.e., the number N of DMRS symbols included in the uplink channel, the number a of repetitions of the uplink channel, and the number B of RBs included in the uplink channel.
Specifically, the values of the two are compared, if the first number, that is, the preset number Z of resource groups is smaller, the uplink channel resources are divided into Z, and if the second number is smaller, the number of the uplink channel resources is divided into the second number.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, the second number is determined by calculating according to the following formula, where the value of x is 2 or 4;
and if the number of the determined resource groups is the second number, each RB of the uplink channel in each uplink channel repeating time slot comprises min (N, x) resource groups, and each resource group comprises one RB and N/x DMRS symbols.
In particular, a second number min (N, x) a B may be specified, wherein x takes on a value of 2 or 4; if the number of the preset resource groups is Z, the number of DMRS symbols contained in the uplink channel is N, the number of times of repetition of the uplink channel is A, and the number of RBs contained in the uplink channel is B, if Z > -min (N, x) A x B, the uplink channel is divided into min (N, x) A x B resource groups; otherwise, the uplink channel is divided into Z resource groups.
Specifically, when the uplink channel is divided into min (N, x) a by B resource groups, each RB of the uplink channel in each uplink channel repetition slot includes min (N, x) resource groups, each resource group includes one RB and N/x DMRS symbols,
for example, if x is 2, the first resource group of each RB contains floor (N/2) symbols, and the second resource group contains ceil (N/2) symbols;
for example, if the number of DMRS symbols included in the uplink channel is greater than or equal to 4 and x is 4, the first resource group of each RB includes ceil (color (N/2)/2) symbols, the second resource group includes color (N/2)/2) symbols, the third resource group includes ceil (ceil (N/2)/2) symbols, and the fourth resource group includes color (ceil (N/2)/2) symbols.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, if the number of the determined resource groups is the first number, the resource for transmitting the uplink channel is divided into Z resource groups according to a sequence that the repeated transmission is divided into different resource groups first, then the different RBs are divided into different resource groups, and then the resource in each RB is divided into different resource groups.
Specifically, when the uplink channel is divided into Z resource groups, the repeated transmission may be divided into different resource groups, then different RBs may be divided into different resource groups, and finally the resource in each RB may be divided into different resource groups, and the uplink channel may be divided into Z resource groups according to the division sequence.
For example, if Z < ═ a, a repeatedly transmitted uplink channels are divided into Z resource groups, and there may be multiple specific dividing manners, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment; if Z is greater than a and Z < ═ a × B, the a × B repeatedly transmitted uplink channel RB resources are divided into Z resource groups, and the specific division manner may be various, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment; if Z > a × B, the uplink channel resources are divided into Z resource groups, and the specific dividing manner may be various, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

And determining the uplink channel of the terminal, which is only subjected to frequency hopping in the time slot, based on the stipulation of a protocol or the indication of the terminal, and determining the transmission diversity switched by using the precoding matrix.
In particular, the base station or protocol may instruct or specify that the terminal diversity transmit only in certain situations, such as only on special channels.
Such as transmit diversity that instructs the terminal to use precoding matrix switching only for uplink channels of a particular length. For example, when a common cyclic prefix is used, the terminal only uses the transmit diversity switched by the precoding matrix for the uplink channels with the length of 10-14 symbols; when the extended cyclic prefix is used, the terminal only uses the transmit diversity switched by the precoding matrix for the uplink channel with the length of 10-12 symbols; the uplink channel of unspecified length uses a single antenna transmission scheme.
Such as transmit diversity, which instructs the terminal to use precoding matrix switching only for certain uplink channel formats, e.g. diversity transmission only for uplink channel PUCCH formats 1, 3 and 4.
Such as transmit diversity that instructs the terminal to use precoding matrix switching only for uplink channels that hop within a time slot.

and performing independent channel estimation on the at least two resource groups.
Specifically, after the base station receives the uplink channels sent by the terminal based on at least two resource group diversity, the base station may perform independent channel estimation on each resource group.
It can be understood that, since the terminal performs precoding operation on both data and pilot included in the uplink channel when performing precoding, the base station does not need to know the precoding matrix used by the terminal in each resource group when performing precoding, the base station can perform channel estimation on each resource block in the received uplink channel based on the pilot, the estimated channel information already includes precoding related information, and the base station processes the received data based on the estimated channel information, thereby removing the influence of channel and precoding.
Optionally, if at least two resource groups divided by the precoding matrix switching transmit diversity method used by the terminal side always perform channel estimation independently, the method may be transparent to the base station side, that is, the base station side does not need to notify the terminal side whether to perform precoding matrix switching transmit diversity, and the base station side normally receives an uplink channel. The at least two resource groups always perform channel estimation independently, and may be that the at least two resource groups belong to different time slots, or belong to different repeated transmissions, or belong to different frequency hopping resources, or belong to different RBs, or the like.
