Description

Resource allocation method and device

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a resource allocation method and apparatus.

Background

In a mobile communication system, before a terminal device accesses a certain cell in the system, the terminal device obtains a system message of the cell, and then determines how the cell is configured according to the system message, so that the terminal device can normally work in the cell. The System Information mainly comprises basic System Information and other System Information, wherein the basic System Information comprises Master Information Blocks (MIBs) and System Information types 1-9 (System Information Block l-System Information Block 9, SIB 1-SIB 9).

In the standard (3 GPP) of New Radio Access Technology (NR), a network device broadcasts a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB), where the SSB carries a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), and a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH), and the terminal device acquires, through the PBCH, MIB including configuration information (e.g., a bandwidth size of a core 0, a frequency domain position, etc.) of a Control Resource Set 0(Control Resource Set, core 0) and configuration information (e.g., a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH, etc.) of a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of SIB 1.

Further, before performing Radio Resource Control RRC Connection Setup (Radio Resource Control Connection Setup/Resource/Establishment), the network device sends the SIB1 to the terminal device on the PDCCH by using a Bandwidth configured in the Coreset0, where the SIB1 includes Resource configuration information of Downlink data after the RRC Connection is completed, and a Bandwidth of a Downlink (DL) Bandwidth Part (BWP) indicated by the Resource configuration information is greater than a Bandwidth configured in the Coreset 0. And when the terminal equipment determines that the cell normally works according to the acquired MIB and the SIB1, the terminal equipment establishes RRC connection with the network equipment to realize data transmission.

However, the bandwidth of DL BWP indicated by the resource configuration information contained in the SIB1 can not be used after the RRC connection setup, so that before the RRC connection setup is completed (including the RRC connection setup), the network device cannot flexibly configure resource indication information in the SIB1 according to the actual situation of the channel where the terminal device is located, and the network device still sends downlink message to the terminal device using the bandwidth configured in Coreset 0. Due to the small bandwidth configured in Coreset0, the demodulation performance of the downlink message before the RRC connection establishment is completed is poor, and the terminal device cannot correctly unwrap the downlink message after receiving the downlink message.

The network device may also coordinate attribute management for the air interface. For example, the network device may include an evolved Node B (NodeB or eNB or e-NodeB) in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system or an advanced long term evolution (LTE-a), or may also include a next generation Node B (gNB) in a New Radio (NR) system (also referred to as an NR system) of a fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G), or may also include a Centralized Unit (CU) and a Distributed Unit (DU) in a Cloud RAN network (Cloud RAN) system, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

2. A terminal device is a device that provides voice and/or data connectivity to a user. The terminal device may also be referred to as a User Equipment (UE), a Mobile Station (MS), a Mobile Terminal (MT), and so on.

3. In the description of the present application, the terms "first," "second," "third," and the like are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, nor order.

Embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 illustrates a communication system to which a resource allocation method provided in the present application is applied. As shown in the figure, the communication system includes a network device (for example, a base station 101) and a core network 102. The interface between the base station 101 and the core network 102 is referred to as an S1 interface, and the base station 101 and the core network 102 communicate via an S1 interface. The base station 101 may manage a plurality of cells (e.g., cell a and cell B), and the terminal device 103 may access any one of the cells to access the network to implement wireless communication.

In this communication system, before the terminal device 103 accesses a certain cell (taking a cell a as an example), the base station 101 broadcasts a synchronization signal block SSB, where the SSB carries a primary synchronization signal PSS, a secondary synchronization signal SSS, and a Physical broadcast Channel PBCH, the terminal device 103 may obtain configuration information of a primary system information block MIB in a system message and a Physical Downlink control Channel PDCCH of a system message type SIB1 through the PBCH, and the terminal device 103 obtains configuration information of a control resource set Coreset0 according to the MIB and detects the PDCCH in the Coreset0 to determine a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) for carrying the SIB 1.

Further, the terminal device 103 receives the SIB1 on the PDSCH using the bandwidth size configured in Coreset 0. The SIB1 includes information required for the terminal device 103 to access cell a and scheduling information of other SIBs, and the SIB1 also includes resource configuration information required for data transmission when the terminal device 103 is in a connected state. The terminal device 103 determines how the cell a is configured according to the MIB and the SIB1, thereby ensuring that the cell a can work normally.

After determining that the terminal device 103 can normally operate in the cell a, the terminal device 103 initiates an RRC connection establishment request to the base station 101. In the RRC connection establishment process, the terminal device 103 and the base station 101 both use the bandwidth configured in Coreset0 to transmit information. After the RRC connection is established, the base station 101 sends downlink data to the terminal device 103 using the bandwidth indicated by the resource configuration information in the SIB 1.

As can be seen from the above, before the RRC connection is established (including when the RRC connection is established), the base station 101 sends a downlink message to the terminal device 103 using the bandwidth configured in Coreset 0. Since the bandwidth configured in Coreset0 is small, and thus the demodulation performance of the downlink message before the RRC connection is completed is poor, the terminal device 103 cannot correctly unwrap the downlink message after receiving the downlink message.

An embodiment of the present application provides a resource allocation method, which may be applied to a communication system as shown in fig. 1, and a flow of the resource allocation method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail with reference to fig. 2.

S201: the network equipment generates a system message, wherein the system message comprises resource indication information, the resource indication information is used for indicating resources used by a target downlink message, and the target downlink message is a downlink message before the terminal equipment completes Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection.

Optionally, the target downlink message includes at least one or a combination of the following: random access response messages, connection configuration messages, other system messages.

S202: and the network equipment sends the system message to the terminal equipment.

In one embodiment, before the network device sends the system message to the terminal device, the method further includes: the network equipment sends main information to the terminal equipment, wherein the main information comprises first resource configuration information; the system message further includes second resource configuration information, and the bandwidth of the second resource indicated by the second resource configuration information is greater than the bandwidth of the first resource indicated by the first resource configuration information; the resource indication information is used to indicate that the resource used by the target downlink message is the first resource or the second resource.

In an embodiment, the network device sends the target downlink message to the terminal device by using a bandwidth of a resource indicated by the resource indication information.

Specifically, when the resource indication information indicates that the resource used by the target downlink message is a first resource, the network device sends the target downlink message to the terminal device by using the bandwidth of the first resource before the RRC connection is completed; when the resource indication information indicates that the resource used by the target downlink message is a second resource, the network device sends the target downlink message to the terminal device by using the bandwidth of the second resource before the RRC connection is completed.

Optionally, the master information may be a master information block MIB, and the system message may be a system message type SIB 1; the bandwidth of the first resource may be a bandwidth configured in a set of control resources Coreset0 in the MIB, and the bandwidth of the second resource may be a bandwidth of an initial downlink bandwidth part DL BWP included in the SIB 1.

In one embodiment, after completing the RRC connection, the network device sends downlink data to the terminal device using a bandwidth of an activated third resource, where the third resource is a resource configured by the network device in the connection configuration message; or

Specifically, when the RRC connection is established, the network device configures a third resource in the connection configuration message and activates the third resource. After the RRC connection is completed, the network equipment transmits downlink data to the terminal equipment by using the bandwidth of the activated third resource; or

The network device does not configure a third resource in the connection configuration message when the RRC connection is established. After the RRC connection is completed, the network equipment sends downlink data to the terminal equipment by using the bandwidth of the default resource in the connection configuration message; or

When the RRC connection is established, the network equipment does not configure a third resource and does not configure a default resource in the connection configuration message. After the RRC connection is completed, the network device sends downlink data to the terminal device using the bandwidth of the second resource indicated by the second resource configuration information in the system message.

According to the above, in the present application, the network device generates a system message and sends the system message to the terminal device; the system message comprises resource indication information, the resource indication information is used for indicating resources used by a target downlink message, and the target downlink message is a downlink message before the terminal equipment completes Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection. According to the method, before the terminal equipment completes the RRC connection, the network equipment can flexibly configure the resource indication information in the system message, and the target downlink message is transmitted to the terminal equipment by using the resource indicated by the resource indication information.

Based on the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the present application further provides an example of a resource allocation method. Before the RRC connection establishment is completed, the resource indication information in the system message (taking SIB1 information as an example) is used to indicate that the resource used by the target downlink message is a first resource, and the network device sends the target downlink message to the terminal device using a bandwidth of the first resource (taking a bandwidth configured in Coreset0 as an example). The specific flow of this embodiment is shown in fig. 3:

step 301: the network device sends master information (taking MIB information as an example) to the terminal device, and the terminal device receives the MIB information. The MIB message is configured with the bandwidth size and location of Coreset0, and Coreset0 is used for scheduling system information.

Step 302: the network device generates system information (taking SIB1 information as an example), and the resource indication information contained in the SIB1 indicates that target information uses the Coreset0 resource, where the target downlink message is a downlink message before the terminal device completes Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection.

Step 303: the network device sends the SIB1 information to the terminal device using the bandwidth configured in Coreset0, and the terminal device receives the SIB1 information. Wherein, the SIB1 further includes second resource configuration information (for example, an initial DL BWP), and a bandwidth of the initial DL BWP indicated by the second resource configuration information is greater than a bandwidth configured in the Coreset 0.

The above steps S301 to S303 are processes of acquiring the downlink system message before the terminal device establishes the RRC connection.

Step 304: and the terminal equipment sends a random access request msg1 to the network equipment.

Step 305: after receiving the msg1, the network device sends a random access response msg2 to the terminal device, where the msg2 is carried on a PDSCH, and the network device determines that the resource indication information in the SIB1 indicates that target downlink information uses the Coreset0 resource, and then the network device sends the msg2 to the terminal device using the bandwidth configured in the Coreset 0. And the terminal equipment detects the PDSCH on downlink frequency domain resources for bearing the msg2, then determines the position of the PDSCH on a frequency domain according to scheduling information on the PDCCH, and receives the msg2 on the PDSCH.

Step 306: the terminal equipment sends a connection establishment request message msg3 to the network equipment, and the network equipment receives the msg 3.

Step 307: the network equipment determines that the resource indication information contained in the SIB1 indicates that target information uses the Coreset0 resource, the network equipment uses the bandwidth of the Coreset0 to send connection configuration information msg4 to the terminal equipment, and the terminal equipment enters a connected state after receiving the msg 4.

Step 308: the terminal equipment sends a connection establishment completion message msg5 to the network equipment, and the network equipment receives the msg 5.

The above steps S304 to S308 are performed to establish the random access procedure of the RRC connection for the terminal device, and the terminal device enters the RRC connection state from an idle state or an inactive state.

Step 309: and the network equipment uses corresponding bandwidth to send downlink data to the terminal equipment according to the bandwidth condition configured in the msg 4.

Specifically, after the network device determines that the terminal device is in the connected state, the method further includes:

according to Step307, if the network device determines that a third resource (for example, BWP) is configured in the msg4 and is in an active state, the network device sends downlink data to the terminal device using the bandwidth of the BWP; if the network device configures a third resource (for example, BWP) in the msg4 and is in an inactive state, the network device sends downlink data to the terminal device using a default bandwidth of BWP, where the default resource is a resource that is configured by the network device by default in the connection configuration message; if the network device does not configure the third resource (BWP for example) in the msg4 and does not configure the default BWP, the network device sends downlink data to the terminal device using the bandwidth of the second resource (initial DL BWP).

In this embodiment, the bandwidth size used for downlink transmission (the bandwidth configured in Coreset0) is the default bandwidth size used for configuring the downlink bandwidth in the initial access procedure, and is the bandwidth size used by the downlink message executed according to the 3GPP protocol standard, and for a terminal device in poor channel conditions, after SIB1, the bandwidth size configured in Coreset0 is used for the downlink message before the RRC connection is completed, and there is a high possibility that the downlink message demodulation performance is poor.

Based on the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the present application further provides another example of a resource configuration method, before the RRC connection establishment is completed, the resource indication information in the system message (taking SIB1 as an example) is used to indicate that a resource used by the target downlink message is a second resource, and the network device sends the target downlink message to the terminal device by using a bandwidth of the second resource (taking a bandwidth of an initial DL BWP as an example). The specific flow of this embodiment is shown in fig. 4:

step 401: the network device sends master information (taking MIB information as an example) to the terminal device, and the terminal device receives the MIB information. The MIB message configures the bandwidth size and location of Coreset0, and Coreset0 is used for scheduling system information.

Step 402: the network device generates system information (taking SIB1 information as an example), where the resource indication information included in the SIB1 indicates that target downlink information uses resources of the initial DL BWP, and the target downlink information is downlink information of the terminal device before radio resource control RRC connection is completed. The bandwidth of the initial DL BWP is greater than the bandwidth configured in Coreset 0.

Step 403: the network device sends the SIB1 information to the terminal device using the bandwidth configured in Coreset0, and the terminal device receives the SIB1 information.

In steps S401 to S403, the network device sends the MIB information to the terminal device, and sends the SIB1 information to the terminal device using the bandwidth of Coreset0 in the MIB information, so as to provide required transmission resources for messages when the network device and the terminal device establish the RRC connection.

Step 404: and the terminal equipment sends a random access request msg1 to the network equipment.

Step 405: after receiving the msg1, the network device sends a random access response msg2 to the terminal device, wherein the msg2 is carried on a PDSCH, and if the network device determines that the resource indication information in the SIB1 indicates that the target information uses the resources of the initial DL BWP, the network device sends the msg2 to the terminal device using the bandwidth of the initial DL BWP. And the terminal equipment detects the PDSCH on downlink frequency domain resources for bearing the msg2, then determines the position of the PDSCH on a frequency domain according to scheduling information on the PDCCH, and receives the msg2 on the PDSCH.

Step 406: the terminal equipment sends a connection establishment request message msg3 to the network equipment, and the network equipment receives the msg 3.

Step 407: the network device determines that the resource indication information contained in the SIB1 indicates that target information uses the resource of the initial DL BWP, the network device sends connection configuration information msg4 to the terminal device using the bandwidth of the initial DL BWP, and the terminal device enters a connected state after receiving the msg 4.

Step 408: the terminal device sends a connection setup complete message msg5 to the network device, which is receiving the msg 5.

The above steps S404-S408 are a random access procedure for establishing the RRC connection, and the terminal device enters an RRC connected state from an idle state or an inactive state.

Step 409: and the network equipment uses corresponding bandwidth to send downlink data to the terminal equipment according to the bandwidth condition configured in the msg 4.

according to Step407, if the network device configures a third resource (for example, BWP) in the msg4 and is in an active state, the network device sends downlink data to the terminal device using the bandwidth of the BWP;

if the network device configures a third resource (for example, BWP) in the msg4 and is in an inactive state, the network device sends downlink data to the terminal device using a default bandwidth of BWP, where the default resource is a resource that is configured by the network device by default in the connection configuration message.

If the network device does not configure the third resource (BWP for example) in the msg4 and does not configure the default BWP, the network device sends downlink data to the terminal device using the bandwidth of the second resource (initial DL BWP).

In this embodiment, the network device adds resource indication information to the system message, and according to an actual situation, the resource indication information may indicate, according to an actual situation of a channel in which the terminal device is located, a resource used by a downlink message before the terminal device completes RRC connection. In this embodiment, the bandwidth of the initial DL BWP is greater than the bandwidth configured by Coreset0, so that, in a case of a poor channel condition, the resource indication information indicates that the downlink message before the terminal device completes RRC connection uses the bandwidth of the initial DL BWP with a relatively large bandwidth, which may improve demodulation performance of the downlink message, and further ensure that the terminal device can correctly unlock the downlink message after receiving the downlink message.

In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 5, in general, the bandwidth configured in Coreset0 is smaller, and the bandwidth of the initial DL BWP includes and is larger than the bandwidth configured in Coreset 0. By flexibly configuring resource indication information in a system message SIB1, normally, the resource indication information in the system message SIB1 indicates that a target downlink message uses a first resource, namely the Coreset0, so that after SIB1 and before RRC connection is completed, a network device sends a bandwidth used by the target downlink message to a terminal device to the bandwidth configured in Coreset 0. When the channel quality of the terminal device is poor, the resource indication information in the system message SIB1 indicates that the target downlink message uses the second resource, i.e. the initial DL BWP, so that, after SIB1 and before the RRC connection is completed, the network device sends the bandwidth used by the target downlink message to the terminal device to the bandwidth of the initial DL BWP.
