Background
Compared with Long Term Evolution (LTE) and long term evolution advanced (LTE-a) wireless communication systems, a 5G New Radio (NR) wireless communication system obtains a larger communication bandwidth due to a higher deployed frequency band. However, the high frequency band causes larger path loss and penetration loss than the low frequency band, and the large communication bandwidth also increases noise of the wireless system, so that the coverage performance of NR is far inferior to that of LTE and LTE-a. In addition, since the transmission power of the terminal device is much smaller than that of the network device, the uplink communication performance is much worse than the downlink communication performance. Therefore, the uplink coverage performance problem of NR is more prominent than the downlink coverage performance.
In order to improve the coverage performance of NR, especially the uplink coverage performance, the relay device is one of important solutions. The relay device is used as a special node in a wireless communication network, and the quality of signals received by a sink node is improved by forwarding signals of a source node to the sink node.

The embodiment of the application can be applied to a traditional typical network, and can also be applied to a future UE-centric (UE-centric) network. A UE-centric network introduces a network architecture without a cell (Non-cell), that is, a large number of small stations are deployed in a certain area to form a super cell (super cell), each small station is a Transmission Point (TP) or a Transmission and Reception Point (TRP) of the super cell, and is connected to a centralized controller (controller). When the UE moves in the Hyper cell, the network side equipment selects a new sub-cluster for the UE to serve, thereby avoiding real cell switching and realizing the continuity of UE service. The network side device comprises a wireless network device. Or, in a network with UE as the center, multiple network side devices, such as small stations, may have independent controllers, such as distributed controllers, each small station may independently schedule users, and there is interaction information between small stations over a long period of time, so that there is also a certain flexibility when providing cooperative service for UE.
In the embodiment of the present application, different base stations may be base stations with different identities, and may also be base stations with the same identity and deployed in different geographic locations. Since the base station does not know whether the base station relates to the application scenario of the embodiment of the present application before the base station is deployed, the base station or the baseband chip should support the method provided by the embodiment of the present application before the base station is deployed. It is to be understood that the base stations with different identities may be base station identities, cell identities, or other identities.
Some scenarios in the embodiment of the present application are described by taking a scenario of an NR network in a wireless communication network as an example, it should be noted that the scheme in the embodiment of the present application may also be applied to other wireless communication networks, and corresponding names may also be replaced by names of corresponding functions in other wireless communication networks.
For the convenience of understanding the embodiments of the present application, a communication system applicable to the embodiments of the present application will be first described in detail by taking the communication system shown in fig. 1 as an example. As shown in fig. 1, the communication system includes a network device 101, a relay device 102, and a terminal device 106, where the network device 101 may be configured with multiple antennas, and the relay device 102 and the terminal device 106 may also be configured with multiple antennas.
It should be understood that network device 101 may also include a number of components associated with signal transmission and reception (e.g., processors, modulators, multiplexers, demodulators, demultiplexers, etc.).
The network device 101 may be a device with a wireless transceiving function or a chip provided in the device, and the device includes but is not limited to: evolved Node B (eNB), Radio Network Controller (RNC), Node B (NB), Base Station Controller (BSC), Base Transceiver Station (BTS), home base station (e.g., home evolved Node B, or home Node B, HNB), baseband unit (BBU), wireless fidelity (WIFI) system Access Point (AP), wireless relay Node, wireless backhaul Node, transmission point (TRP or transmission point, TP), etc., and may also be 5G, such as NR, a gbb in the system, or a transmission point (TRP or TP), a set (including multiple antennas) of a base station in the 5G system, or a panel of a base station (including multiple antennas, or a BBU) in the 5G system, or, Distributed Units (DUs), etc.
In some deployments, the gNB may include a Centralized Unit (CU) 201 and a DU 202. The gNB may also include a Radio Unit (RU). The CU implements part of the function of the gNB, and the DU implements part of the function of the gNB, for example, the CU implements Radio Resource Control (RRC) and Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layers, and the DU implements Radio Link Control (RLC), Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical (PHY) layers. Since the information of the RRC layer is eventually converted into or from the information of the PHY layer, the higher layer signaling, such as RRC layer signaling or PDCP layer signaling, may also be considered to be transmitted by the DU or DU + CU under this architecture. It is to be understood that the network device may be a CU node, or a DU node, or a device including a CU node and a DU node. In addition, the CU may be divided into network devices in the access network RAN, or may be divided into network devices in the core network CN, which is not limited herein.
Terminal equipment 106 may also be referred to as User Equipment (UE), an access terminal, a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, a wireless communication device, a user agent, or a user equipment.

The embodiments of the present application do not limit the application scenarios.

The relay device 102, which may also be referred to as a network repeater, interworks with homogeneous network segments having the same interface and the same medium access control protocol. It may amplify and retransmit the transmitted signal. Therefore, signal attenuation caused by overlong cable lines of the network segment can be avoided, and the transmission reliability is effectively improved. A relay device may also be understood as an interconnected device that constructively implements a network at the physical level. With the continuous development of computer communication network technology and equipment, the functions of the relay equipment must be greatly increased, and the relay equipment is more efficient and safer.
In this communication system, each of the network device 101 and the relay device 102 can communicate with a plurality of terminal devices (e.g., the terminal device 106 shown in the figure). Network device 101 and relay device 102 may communicate with one or more terminal devices similar to terminal device 106. It should be understood that the terminal device communicating with the network device 101 and the terminal device communicating with the relay device 102 may be the same or different. The terminal device 106 shown in fig. 1 may communicate with the network device 101 and the relay device 102 at the same time, but this only shows one possible scenario, and in some scenarios, the terminal device may also communicate with only the network device 101 or the relay device 102, which is not limited in this application.
It should be understood that fig. 1 is a simplified schematic diagram of an example for the sake of understanding only, and that other network devices 101 or other terminal devices 106, which are not shown in fig. 1, may also be included in the communication system.
At present, fixed gain forwarding of uplink signals is a common method for forwarding uplink signals by relay equipment. The method adopts fixed gain to amplify the transmitting power of the uplink signal of each terminal device forwarded by the relay device, wherein the amplified transmitting power meets the formula (1):
Figure PCTCN2020071544-APPB-000001
wherein, P input,n Indicating the power, P, of the uplink signal of terminal device n received by the relay device n Indicating the transmission power at which the relay device forwards the uplink signal of terminal device n,
Figure PCTCN2020071544-APPB-000002
the gain multiple is shown, N is 1,2,3 …, and N is the number of terminal devices to which the relay device forwards the uplink signal.
In addition, the transmission power of the relay device is usually limited, when the total uplink transmission power is greater than the upper limit at a certain time, i.e. P > P total The relay device will reduce the gain multiple
Figure PCTCN2020071544-APPB-000003
To ensure that P is less than or equal to P total . Wherein, P total The upper limit of the transmission power of the relay equipment is represented, P represents the total uplink transmission power of the relay equipment, and the total uplink transmission power of the relay equipment
Figure PCTCN2020071544-APPB-000004
The fixed gain forwarding method in the prior art has the advantages of simplicity and easy implementation. However, this method has poor flexibility, and cannot meet the uplink coverage requirements of terminal devices located at different positions within the coverage area of the network device. In the following, the fixed gain forwarding method is explained by taking two terminal devices as an example without loss of generality.
The terminal device 1 and the terminal device 2 are both located at the edge of the cell, the distance from the terminal device 1 to the network device is greater than the distance from the terminal device 2 to the network device, and the distance from the terminal device 1 to the relay device is greater than the distance from the terminal device 2 to the relay device. Therefore, the signal power of the relay device reception terminal device 1 is lower than the signal power of the relay device reception terminal device 2. And because the relay device adopts fixed gain forwarding, the signal power of the terminal device 1 forwarded by the network device receiving relay device is also lower than the signal power of the terminal device 2 forwarded by the network device receiving relay device. As can be seen from the maximum ratio combining method, the performance of the terminal apparatus 1 is necessarily inferior to that of the terminal apparatus 2. However, in order to meet uplink coverage requirements of terminal devices in different locations, it is necessary that the performances of the terminal device 1 and the terminal device 2 are similar. It can be seen that the fixed gain forwarding method cannot meet this requirement.
Based on the above requirements, the present application provides a communication method, so as to implement that a relay device forwards, to a network device, a signal sent by a terminal device at different positions by using different gains, thereby meeting uplink coverage requirements of the terminal devices at different positions. In the following, without loss of generality, the embodiment of the present application is described in detail by taking an interaction process between a terminal device and a relay device as an example, where the terminal device may be a terminal device in a wireless communication system and having a wireless connection relationship with the relay device. It is understood that the relay device may transmit the data packet based on the same technical scheme with a plurality of terminal devices having a wireless connection relationship in the wireless communication system. This is not a limitation of the present application.
Fig. 2 is an exemplary flowchart of a communication method provided by the embodiment of the present application, which is shown from the perspective of device interaction. As shown in fig. 2, the method may include the steps of:
step 201: the network device sends the power parameter to the relay device.
The power parameter here may be a power parameter corresponding to the first terminal device. For example, the power parameter may be a power parameter of the first terminal device, and the relay device may forward the first signal of the first terminal device according to the power parameter. Alternatively, the power parameter may also be a power parameter corresponding to at least one second terminal device other than the first terminal device. For example, it may be a power parameter of at least one second terminal device, other than the first terminal device, within the coverage area of the network device. The relay device may forward the first signal of the first terminal device and the at least one second terminal device according to the power parameter.
Step 202: the relay device receives a first signal from a first terminal device. Wherein the first signal carries first information.
The relay device may also receive Downlink Control Information (DCI) from the network device before the relay device receives the first signal from the first terminal device. The DCI is used for instructing the relay device to receive a first signal from the first terminal device and to transmit a second signal to the network device.
In an example, the DCI may include a time domain location indication and a frequency domain resource indication of a received signal of the first terminal device. The relay device receives the first signal according to the time domain position indication and the frequency domain resource indication of the received signal.
In another example, the DCI may include time domain location indications and frequency domain resource indications of received signals of a plurality of terminal devices, and an index of the terminal device. The index of the terminal device may correspond to the time domain location indication and the frequency domain resource indication of the received signal one to one. And the relay equipment receives the first signal of the terminal equipment corresponding to the index according to the index of the terminal equipment and the time domain position indication and the frequency domain resource indication of the received signal corresponding to the index.
Step 203: and the relay equipment determines first transmission power for transmitting a second signal according to the first signal and the power parameter. Wherein the second signal carries the first information.
In an example, the power parameter may include a power target value. Wherein, the power target value refers to the power of the network device expecting to receive the second signal, and can be P o,n . The power target value here relates to a path loss from the first terminal device to the network device, the larger the path loss, the larger the power target value. The path loss may be obtained by the network device through a channel Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) measured and reported by the first terminal device.
It should be understood that, according to the maximum ratio combining method, the power target value of the terminal device with a larger path loss is increased, and the uplink coverage performance of the terminal device with a larger path loss can be improved.
In another example, the power parameter may also include a path loss compensation factor. The path loss compensation factor refers to a compensation factor of at least one path loss from the relay device to the network device, and can be represented by α, and the value range of α is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1. The path loss compensation factor here is predetermined based on an empirical value.
In implementation, the network device may send the power parameter to the relay device through higher layer signaling.
In one possible implementation, the relay device may determine the first transmission power for transmitting the second signal according to the path loss compensation factor, the path loss PL from the relay device to the network device, and the target power value. For example, the first transmission power P n The following formula (3) may be satisfied:
P n ＝P o,n + alpha PL formula (3)
Where PL may represent the relay device to network device path loss. PL here is estimated by the relay device using a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS). Wherein the CSI-RS can be transmitted to the relay device by the network device.
In another possible implementation manner, the relay device may further determine the first transmission power for transmitting the second signal according to the characteristic information and the power parameter of the first signal.
In an example, the characteristic information of the first signal may include a number of Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs) occupied by the first signal, which may be M RB,n And (4) showing. For example, M RB,n May be the number of PRBs used by the first terminal device in transmitting the first signal in the 15KHz subcarrier spacing condition. It should be noted that, the larger the number of PRBs indicates that the signal bandwidth is larger, the larger the first transmission power should be, so as to ensure the stability of the signal to noise ratio (SNS) of the second signal, thereby ensuring the transmission performance of the second signal.
In another example, the characteristic information of the first signal may further include a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) corresponding to the first signal, and may be Δ TF,n And (4) showing. Since the coding rate is faster with larger modulation orders, a high SNR is more necessary to guarantee the transmission performance of the second signal. The larger the MCS, the larger the first transmit power should be.
When the relay equipment determines first transmission power for transmitting a second signal according to the characteristic information and the power parameter of the first signal, the first transmission power P n The following formula (4) can be satisfied:
P n ＝P o,n +α·PL+10log 10 (2 μ ·M RB,n )+△ TF,n formula (4)
Where μ denotes a subcarrier spacing supported by the wireless communication system, μ — 0,1, …, Z, where Z may be a positive integer, e.g., Z may be equal to 4.
In another possible implementation manner, the relay device may further consider a forwarding power offset state value f of the first signal of the first terminal device when determining the first transmission power n . Wherein f is n For the closed loop power control parameter, the f may be adjusted according to the transmission power of the first signal of the first terminal device forwarded by the last relay device n . For example, the first transmission power of the second signal is F when the relay device forwards the first signal of the first terminal device last time 0 The relay device may be according to F 0 Determining fn, the first transmit power at which the second signal is transmitted may be based on f n A first transmit power is determined. Wherein the first transmit power may satisfy the following formula (5):
P n ＝P o,n +α·PL+10log 10 (2 μ ·M RB,n )+△ TF,n +f n formula (5)
In practice, M RB,n 、△ TF,n And f n Since there is a rapid change, the network device may send M to the relay device via the relay device's proprietary DCI RB,n 、△ TF,n And f n . Alternatively, the characteristic information of the first signal may also be obtained by the relay device through detection of the first signal.
Step 204: and the relay equipment adopts the first transmission power to send the second signal to the network equipment.
And the network equipment receives a second signal sent by the relay equipment.
In an example, the DCI may further include a time domain location indication and a frequency domain resource indication of a transmission signal of the first terminal device. And the relay equipment transmits a second signal according to the time domain position indication and the frequency domain resource indication of the transmitted signal.
In another example, the DCI may further include a time domain location indication and a frequency domain resource indication of received signals of a plurality of terminal devices, and an index of the terminal device. The index of the terminal device may correspond to the time domain location indication and the frequency domain resource indication of the transmission signal one to one. And the relay equipment sends the second signal of the terminal equipment corresponding to the index in the time domain position indication and the frequency domain resource indication of the sending signal corresponding to the index.
In a possible implementation manner, when a third signal of a second terminal device sent to the network device overlaps with the second signal in time, if a priority of the third signal is higher than a priority of the second signal, the relay device may determine the first transmission power according to the first signal, the power parameter, and a transmission power of the third signal, where a value of the first transmission power is not greater than a difference between a maximum transmission power and the transmission power of the third signal.
For example, the time when the relay device sends the third signal of the second terminal device to the network device is t 0 -t 3 The time when the relay equipment sends the second signal to the network equipment is t 1 -t 4 Wherein, t 1 At t 0 -t 3 In the meantime. Then, the relay device needs to compare the priority of the second terminal device with the priority of the first terminal device. If the priority of the second terminal device is higher than the priority of the first terminal device, the first transmission power value of the second signal needs to be not greater than the maximum transmission power P of the relay device total With transmission power f of the third signal 3 Difference value P of total -f 3 。
In another possible implementation manner, when the power parameter received by the relay device changes, or the number of the received power parameters changes, the relay device may determine whether the total power for transmitting the uplink signal to the network device is greater than or equal to the maximum transmission power. When the total transmission power of the relay device is greater than or equal to the maximum transmission power, the relay device may reduce the transmission power of the signal of the terminal device with the lower priority according to the priority of each terminal device. For example, the relay device needs to send the second signal of the first terminal device and the third signal of the second terminal device to the network device within a specified duration. If the sum of the first transmission power of the second signal and the transmission power of the third signal is greater than the maximum transmission power, the relay device needs to determine the priorities of the first terminal device and the second terminal device. If the priority of the second terminal device is greater than the priority of the first terminal device, the relay device needs to reduce the first transmission power of the second signal of the first terminal device. Wherein the first transmit power should not be greater than a difference between the maximum transmit power and a transmit power of the third signal.
In another possible implementation manner, when the power parameter received by the relay device changes or the number of the received power parameters changes, the relay device may determine whether the total power of the uplink signals sent to the network device is greater than or equal to the maximum transmission power. When the total transmission power of the relay device is greater than or equal to the maximum transmission power, the relay device may give up sending the signal of the terminal device with the lower priority according to the priority of each terminal device. For example, the relay device needs to send the second signal of the first terminal device and the third signal of the second terminal device to the network device within the specified duration. If the sum of the first transmission power of the second signal and the transmission power of the third signal is greater than the maximum transmission power, the relay device needs to determine the priority of the first terminal device and the priority of the second terminal device. If the priority of the second terminal device is greater than the priority of the first terminal device, the relay device may forgo sending the second signal to the network device.
In an example, the priority can be sent by the network device. The network device may carry the priority of the terminal device in the DCI.
In another example, the priority may be determined according to the MCS of the terminal device. For example, it may be that the larger the MCS, the higher the priority; alternatively, the smaller the MCS, the higher the priority.
In yet another example, the priority may also be determined according to a transmission bandwidth of the terminal device. For example, it may be that the larger the transmission bandwidth, the higher the priority; alternatively, it may be that the smaller the transmission bandwidth, the higher the priority.
In yet another example, the priority may be determined according to a path loss of the terminal device. The path loss may be a path loss from the terminal device to the network device, or the path loss may also be a path loss from the terminal device to the relay device. For example, it may be that the larger the path loss, the larger the priority; alternatively, the smaller the path loss, the higher the priority.
In yet another possible implementation, the priority may also be determined in combination with the MCS, transmission bandwidth, and path loss of the terminal device. For example, the relay device may determine the priority of the terminal device according to the MCS, and if the MCSs of the plurality of terminal devices are the same, the relay device may determine the priority of the terminal device according to the transmission bandwidth. If the transmission bandwidths of the plurality of terminal devices are the same, the relay device may further determine the priority of the terminal device according to the path loss.
It should be understood that the relay device may preferentially determine the priority of the terminal device according to one of the parameters of MCS, transmission bandwidth or path loss, further determine the priority according to another parameter other than the one of the parameters, and further determine the priority of the terminal device according to the remaining one of the parameters. The order of the parameters is not particularly limited in this application.
