Detailed Description

Technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application are within the scope of the protection of the present application.

The terms first, second and the like in the description and in the claims, are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the terms so used are interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the application are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein, and that the terms "first" and "second" are generally intended to be used in a generic sense and not to limit the number of objects, for example, the first object may be one or more. Furthermore, in the description and claims, "and" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character "/" generally indicates that the associated object is an "or" relationship.

It is noted that the techniques described in embodiments of the present application are not limited to long term evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE)/LTE evolution (LTE-Advanced, LTE-a) systems, but may also be used in other wireless communication systems, such as code division multiple access (Code Division Multiple Access, CDMA), time division multiple access (Time Division Multiple Access, TDMA), frequency division multiple access (Frequency Division Multiple Access, FDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access, OFDMA), single-carrier frequency division multiple access (Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access, SC-FDMA), and other systems. The terms "system" and "network" in embodiments of the present application are often used interchangeably, and the techniques described may be used for both the above-mentioned systems and radio technologies, as well as other systems and radio technologies. The following description describes a New air interface (New Radio, NR ) System and NR terminology is used in much of the description below, but these techniques are also applicable to applications other than NR system applications, such as generation 6 (6) ^th Generation, 6G) communication system.

In order to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the following technical points are first described:

1. a signal amplifier.

The signal amplifier is used for expanding the coverage of a cell, and comprises receiving and amplifying a downlink signal from an upstream base station, so that the signal strength of a reaching terminal (such as a User Equipment (UE)) is increased; the uplink signal from the UE is amplified such that the strength of the uplink signal from the UE to the upstream base station increases.

The signal amplifier/smart signal amplification may receive control from an upstream base station, i.e., the base station may control transmit parameters of the smart amplifier, such as switching and transmit beams of the smart amplifier, to improve the operational efficiency of the amplifier and reduce interference. In the network structure shown in fig. 1, which includes 3 network nodes, the intermediate network node is a signal amplifier that includes a terminal module (or called a mobile terminal (Mobile Termination, MT)) and a Repeater Unit (RU), and the signal amplifier is not excluded from including only one module of the MT or RU. Wherein the MT can establish a connection with an upstream base station, and the base station can instruct the transmission/reception related parameters of the MT/RU of the signal amplifier through the MT and the signal amplifier interaction control signaling.

2. Transmit (TX)/Receive (RX) switching.

The switching of the device between the transmission and the reception cannot be completed instantaneously, and a processing time is required. For signal amplifiers, switching from downstream signal amplification to upstream signal amplification (or vice versa) may involve switching between transmit and receive. The switching time may be attributed to the downstream/upstream portion, or a portion of the switching time may be in the upstream portion and a portion of the switching time in the downstream portion. As shown in fig. 2, the signal amplification output power of the signal amplifier is significantly reduced during the downlink to uplink switching, and during this period of power reduction, the signal amplifier cannot perform normal signal amplification.

3. Signal amplification processing delay of signal amplifier

The signal amplifier cannot be instantaneously completed from receiving an input signal to transmitting an output signal, and requires a processing time. As shown in fig. 3a and 3b, there is a relay unit processing delay (RU processing delay) between the input signal and the output signal of the amplifier, which is the amplification processing delay of the amplifier.

4. Timing Advance (Timing Advance, TA)

Referring to fig. 4, when the ue transmits a signal to the base station, the transmission timing of the signal needs to be advanced by a period of time (TA time) with respect to the reception timing thereof, so that the transmission signal reaches the base station side through the air interface delay and is aligned with the uplink and downlink timings of the base station.

Referring to fig. 5, a schematic diagram of a wireless communication system to which embodiments of the present application are applicable is shown. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 51, a signal amplifier 52, and a network-side device 53. The terminal 51 may also be referred to as a terminal Device or a User Equipment (UE), the terminal 51 may be a mobile phone, a Tablet Computer (Tablet Computer), a Laptop (Laptop Computer), a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), a palm Computer, a netbook, an ultra-mobile personal Computer (UMPC), a mobile internet Device (Mobile Internet Device, MID), a Wearable Device (VUE), a vehicle-mounted Device (VUE), a pedestrian terminal (PUE), or other terminal-side devices, and the Wearable Device includes: smart watches, bracelets, headphones, eyeglasses, etc. Note that, the specific type of the terminal 51 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

The network side device 53 may be a Base station or a core network, where the Base station may be referred to as a control node, a node B, an evolved node B, an access point, a Base transceiver station (Base TransceiverStation, BTS), a Radio Base station, a Radio transceiver, a basic service set (BasicServiceSet, BSS), an extended service set (ExtendedServiceSet, ESS), a node B, an evolved node B (gNB), a home node B, a home evolved node B, a WLAN access point, a WiFi node, a transmission and reception point (Transmitting Receiving Point, TRP), a Radio access network node, or some other suitable terminology in the field, and the Base station is not limited to a specified technical vocabulary, and it should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, only a Base station in a New Radio, NR system is taken as an example, but a specific type of the Base station is not limited.

Embodiment one: conversion from downstream amplification to upstream amplification

1. For the transition time of RU downlink amplification to uplink amplification (or on time of uplink amplification or off time of downlink amplification), see fig. 8a and 8b.

Optionally, before the RU determines the transition time, a reference time is determined (e.g., the reference point is a TDD indicating a downlink to uplink switching time).

(1) And taking a relay unit or the mobile terminal downlink receiving timing (RU/MT DL RX timing) as a reference, wherein the reference time is TDD and indicates the switching time from DL to UL.

2. Assistance information regarding base station scheduling.

a. The base station determines the overlap time/guard interval length based at least on one or more of the following information:

(1) Amplifying processing time delay of RU;

alternatively, RU may report the amplification processing delay, or set a limit value for the amplification processing delay.

(2) Transceiver switching time of RU.

Optionally, the RU may report the transceiving switching time, or set a limit value of the transceiving switching time.

Optionally, the location of the resource overlap is agreed by the base station according to a protocol, or the base station is determined based on information reported by the RU.

Optionally, the reference time determined by the bits of the resource overlap is the aforementioned reference time/transition time.

Embodiment two: conversion from upstream amplification to downstream amplification.

1. The transition time from RU up-amplification to down-amplification (or the on time of up-amplification or the off time of down-amplification).

Optionally, before the RU determines the transition time, a reference time (for example, the reference point is an uplink to downlink switching time in the TDD indication) is determined.

(1) Taking RU/MT DL RX timing as a reference, wherein the reference time is TDD and indicates the switching time from UL to DL.

(2) Taking RU DL TX timing as a reference, and the reference time is TDD to indicate the switching time from UL to DL.

(3) With RU/MT UL TX timing as a reference, reference point time TDD indicates the UL to DL switching time.

The conversion time from the up amplification to the down amplification is x time units from the reference time, and x is greater than or equal to zero.

Optionally, the switching time is a time when switching from uplink to downlink is started.

2. Assistance information regarding base station scheduling.

The base station acquires the resource overlapping time (or acquires the guard interval of the conversion) caused by the conversion from uplink amplification to downlink amplification, so as to avoid uplink and downlink scheduling conflict (for example, the base station schedules downlink in the overlapping part, and the amplification direction of the RU is uplink amplification).

(1) Amplifying processing time delay of RU;

(2) Transceiver switching time of RU.

And the base station acquires the position of the resource overlapping when the downlink amplification is converted to the uplink amplification, so that the base station gives up the DL scheduling at the position of the resource overlapping, or gives up the UL scheduling at the position of the resource overlapping, or gives up the partial UL and partial DL scheduling at the position of the resource overlapping.

Optionally, the RU reports the location where the resources overlap.

For example, the location of resource overlap includes one of:

(1) A y time unit before the reference time;

(2) A y time unit after the reference time;
