Description

一种触发终端发送测量参考信号的方法、 终端和基站 本申请要求于 2010 年 7 月 13 日提交中国专利局、 申请号为 201010228436.8, 发明名称为"一种触发方法、 终端和基站"的中国专利申请, 以及 2010年 10月 11 日提交中国专利局、 申请号为 201010502725.2、 发明名 称为"一种触发终端发送测量参考信号的方法、终端和基站"的中国专利申请的 优先权, 其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域,具体涉及一种触发终端发送测量参考信号的方 法、 终端和基站。
背景技术
在进一步长期演进 ( LTE-A, Long Term Evolution Advanced )通信系统中, 终端需要向演进基站(eNB, E-UTRAN NodeB )传输测量参考信号 (SRS, Sounding Reference Signal ) , 以帮助演进基站获得上行信道信息, 从而实现频 率选择性调度和链路自适应等功能。
在多天线发射模式中, 演进基站需要对终端的每个天线端口都进行测量, 所以每个天线端口都会周期性地发送 SRS, 这势必会造成 SRS资源的短缺。 而 事实上很多时候终端并不需要一直发送 SRS, 所以现有技术提出使用动态非周 期性发送 SRS来降低资源需求, 即由演进基站根据具体情况, 判断一个终端是 否需要发送 SRS, 如果需要, 则演进基站通过物理层下行控制信道(PDCCH, Physical Downlink Control Channel )发送触发信息, 通知终端发送 SRS, 终端 在被触发之后根据资源信息发送 SRS。其中, 资源信息包括 SRS发送时间、 SRS 所占的频带位置、 带宽、 以及循环移位 ( CS, Cyclic Shift )和梳齿等。
目前, 获取资源信息的方法主要有两种, 第一种是演进基站在下发触发命 令给终端时, 在触发命令中携带资源信息; 第二种是演进基站通过高层信令, 为每个终端预置一个 SRS资源图样(以下简称资源图样), 当终端被触发时, 终端根据触发时间在资源图样中找到合适的资源信息,然后采用该资源信息发 送 SRS。 由于资源信息所涉及的参数较多, 所以如果采用第一种方法的话, PDCCH的负载会较高; 因此, 在现有技术中, 主要采用第二种方法来获取资 源信息。
虽然采用第二种方法可以降低 PDCCH的负载, 但是不够灵活, 比如, 如 果预置的资源图样中的带宽很窄的话, 则在对一个较宽的频段进行测量时, 需 要多次发送 SRS才能覆盖需要测量的频段, 造成 PDCCH开销大, 测量时延高; 而如果预置的资源图样中的带宽很宽的话, 则在对一个较窄的频段进行测量 时, 原本不需要进行测量的频段也会被发送的 SRS覆盖到, 造成资源浪费。
发明内容
本发明实施例提供一种触发终端发送测量参考信号的方法、 终端和基站, 可以灵活地适应不同的测量需求。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清 楚、 完整地描述, 显然, 所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例, 而不是 全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造 性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例, 都属于本发明保护的范围。 本发明实施例提供一种触发方法、 终端和基站。 以下分别进行详细说明。 实施例一、
本实施例将从基站的角度进行描述, 该基站具体可以为演进基站,或者具 有类似功能的其他实体。
一种触发方法, 包括: 获取测量的需求信息; 根据获取到的需求信息在预 置的资源图样中为需要触发的终端选择资源, 其中, 资源图样中预置了各种需 求信息所对应的资源信息; 利用选择的资源触发终端发送 SRS。
参见图 1, 具体流程可以如下:
101、 获取测量的需求信息; 其中, 该需求信息具体可以包括待测量频段 的位置和带宽, 可选的, 还可以包括测量的时延、 需要触发的 PDCCH数以及 测量的质量要求(比如信噪比)等;
102、根据步骤 101中获取到的需求信息在预置的资源图样为需要触发的终 端选择资源;
例如, 可以根据需求信息从预置的多个资源图样中选择一个资源图样, 然 后根据需求信息在选择的资源图样中为需要触发的终端选择资源。
其中,根据需求信息在选择的资源图样中为需要触发的终端选择资源具体 可以如下:
根据获取到的测量的位置和带宽计算吻合系数, 然后将需要触发的 PDCCH数、 完成此次测量的时延和该吻合系数进行加权合并, 得到加权合并 结果,最后根据该加权合并结果通过查找选择的资源图样为需要触发的终端选 择资源。
其中, 这些资源图样中预置了各种需求信息所对应的资源信息, 即不同的 需求信息都配置了相应的资源信息; 比如, 可以由用户根据实际应用的需要直 接在基站上进行预置, 或者, 也可以由其他设备对基站进行预置, 其中, 这些 资源信息用于指示资源, 基站通过这些资源信息可以找到相应的资源。
其中, 资源信息可以包括时间信息、 持续时间、 带宽信息、 频段信息和跳 频信息等信息, 还可以包括循环移位信息和梳齿信息等信息; 具体实现时, 可 以将不同资源图样所对应的资源放置在不同的子帧上,也可以将不同资源图样 所对应的资源放置在相同的子帧上; 因此, 可以将选择资源看作是为需要触发 的终端选择用于发送 SRS的子帧。
当不同资源图样所对应的资源被放置在相同的子帧上,即存在多个资源图 样所对应的资源位于用于发送 SRS的子帧上时,基站可向所述终端指示多个资 源图样中的哪一个资源图样所对应的资源是所述所选资源。当不同资源图样所 对应的资源被放置在不同的子帧上,即不同资源图样对应的资源位于不同子帧 上时,终端可根据所选资源所在子帧确定该子帧上唯一的一套资源作为所选资 源。
需说明的是, 这里的持续时间指的是终端被触发之后, 终端需要发送的 SRS的次数。 另外, 不同资源图样中的资源信息的具体参数值可以相同, 也可 以不同 (可以全部不同, 也可以部分不同), 并且可以在时域上相互错开, 即 在相同的子帧上只有一个资源图样存在。
103、 利用步骤 102中选择的资源触发终端发送 SRS;
具体可以是将步骤 102中选择的子帧通知给终端, 以便终端使用该子帧发 送 SRS;
需说明的是,如果将不同资源图样的资源放置在不同的子帧上, 即每一个 子帧上只有一个资源图样, 则终端只要得知自己在某个子帧上被触发, 就知道 用哪个资源图样, 用哪些参数进行发送。如果将不同资源图样的资源放置在相 同的子帧上, 比如将两个不同资源图样所对应的资源放在相同的子帧上, 则终 端在得知自己在某个子帧上被触发,仍无法确定该使用该子帧上的哪个资源图 样, 所以此时基站除了需要将这些子帧通知给终端之外,还需要指示出终端需 要采用的资源图样, 以便终端根据指示在这些子帧中选择相应的资源图样, 并 采用该资源图样所对应的资源发送 SRS。 也就是说, 当一个子帧上包括至少两 种资源图样所对应的资源时, 则该方法还包括: 向终端指示这些子帧上用于发 送测量参考信号的资源图样。 当然, 如果一个子帧上只有一种资源图样, 该方 法可不包括上述指示过程。
为了降低指示信息的负载, 可以在资源图样配置的时候, 考虑让在相同子 帧上同时出现的资源图样对应的资源数量降低。 例如为一个终端配置 4个资源 图样, 但是每个子帧上最多只有两个资源图样对应的资源出现, 那么用 lbit就 可以指示具体选择的资源图样。
由上可知, 本实施例采用为不同的测量需求预置不同的资源图样, 然后在 获取测量的需求信息后,根据该需求信息在预置的资源图样中为需要触发的终 端选择资源, 并利用所选资源触发终端发送 SRS, 由于在该方案中, 不同的测 量需求都具有与之相应的资源信息,所以在匹配资源时更为灵活, 可以满足不 同测量带宽的需求, 避免了现有技术中出现的 PDCCH开销大或资源浪费的情 况。 实施例二、
在实施例一的基础上, 除了需要在基站上预置至少一个资源图样外,还需 要将这些资源图样配置给终端, 具体可以由用户直接在终端上进行配置,也可 以由基站通过高层信令在终端上进行配置, 即在触发终端之前, 该触发方法还 可以包括:
通过高层信令将预置的至少一个资源图样配置给终端。
这样, 终端在被基站触发后, 就可以根据触发时间在多个资源图样中确定 需要的资源图样, 在该资源图样中确定资源, 然后采用确定的资源发送 SRS。
其中, 这些资源图样中预置了各种需求信息所对应的资源信息, 即不同的 需求信息都配置了相应的资源信息;该资源信息可以包括时间信息、持续时间、 带宽信息、 所在的频段信息、 跳频信息、 使用的循环移位信息和使用的梳齿信 息; 基站通过这些资源信息可以找到相应的资源, 其中, 持续时间指的是终端 被触发之后, 该触发操作有效的保持时间, 即终端需要发送的 SRS的次数。
例如, 步骤 "通过高层信令将预置的资源图样配置给终端"具体可以为下 面方式的任意一种:
( 1 )通过高层信令将各个资源图样中的资源信息分别配置给终端; 例如, 通过高层信令将各个资源图样所对应的时间信息、持续时间、 带宽 信息、 所在的频段信息、 跳频信息、使用的循环移位信息和使用的梳齿信息分 别配置给终端; 或者,
( 2 )若各个资源图样之间具有相同的资源信息和不同的资源信息, 即不 同的资源图样中具有部分相同的资源信息, 则为了节省配置信令的开销, 可以 将相同的资源信息通过高层信令发送一份给终端,并通过高层信令将不同的资 源信息分别配置给终端。
例如, 若各个资源图样所使用的循环移位和梳齿相同, 则可以只发送一份 循环移位信息和梳齿信息给终端, 而其他的资源信息则分别配置给终端, 即可 以将对应的循环移位信息和梳齿信息通过高层信令发送一份给终端,并通过高 层信令将各个带宽所对应的时间信息、 持续时间、 带宽信息、 所在的频段信息 和跳频信息分别配置给终端。
需说明的是, 这里所说的 "在触发终端之前", 指的是在终端被触发之前 的任意时刻, 比如, 可以在步骤 103之前, 或者,也可以在步骤 101之前, 等等。
由上可知, 本实施例采用在基站和终端中均预置多个资源图样, 这些资源 图样中预置了各种需求信息所对应的资源信息,当基站获取到测量的需求信息 后,基站就可以根据该需求信息在预置的至少一个资源图样中为需要触发的终 端选择合适的资源, 然后利用所选资源触发终端, 使得终端在被触发后, 可以 根据预置的资源图样找到相应的资源以发送 SRS, 由于在该方案中, 不同的测 量需求都具有与之相应的资源信息,所以在匹配资源时更为灵活, 可以满足不 同测量的需求, 避免了现有技术中出现的 PDCCH开销大或资源浪费的情况。
在通过高层信令将所述至少两个预置的资源图样配置给终端时,还可以根 据终端对资源图样进行分类。例如, 多个资源图样中的一些资源图样可以为多 个终端统一设置, 另一些为各终端独立设置。 此时, 基站可利用广播的方式通 过高层信令将所述为多个终端的统一设置的一部分资源图样通知所述多个终 端,利用单播方式通过高层信令将所述为各终端独立设置的另一部分资源图样 通知所述各终端。 实际应用中基站可包括很多资源图样,每个终端也可被分配 有多个资源图样,但不同终端可能有一个或多个相同的资源图样,基站为这些 多个终端配置资源图样时,可将多个终端的相同资源图样以广播方式通知这多 个终端, 从而不必用单播方式将同一个资源图样向多个终端发送多次。 实施例三、
本实施例将从终端的角度进行描述。
一种触发方法, 包括: 接收基站的触发, 根据该触发在预置的资源图样中 选择资源, 根据选择的资源发送 SRS, 其中, 这些资源图样中预置了多种带宽 及各种带宽所对应的资源信息。
参见图 2, 具体流程可以如下:
301、 接收基站的触发;
302、 根据步骤 301中的触发在预置的资源图样中选择资源;
例如, 可以根据步骤 301中的触发确定子帧号, 根据确定的子帧号在预置 的多个资源图样中确定一个资源图样, 然后在确定的资源图样中选择资源。
其中,这些预置的多个资源图样中均预置了各种需求信息所对应的资源信 息, 即不同的需求信息都配置了相应的资源信息; 该资源信息可以包括时间信 息、 持续时间、 带宽信息、 频段信息和跳频信息等信息, 还可以包括循环移位 信息和梳齿信息等信息。
需说明的是, 在本发明实施例中, 持续时间指的是终端被触发之后, 终端 需要发送的 SRS的次数。 另外, 还需说明的是, 不同的资源图样中的具体配置 参数可以不同, 比如, 不同的资源图样中的持续时间不同: 资源图样 A的持续 时间为 4, 而资源图样 B的持续时间为 2, 等等。 并且, 不同的资源图样在时域 上相互错开, 即在相同的子帧上只有一个资源图样存在。
具体实现时, 可以将不同资源图样所对应的资源放置在不同的子帧上, 也 可以将不同资源图样所对应的资源放置在相同的子帧上。
如果将不同资源图样所对应的资源放置在不同的子帧上,即每一个子帧上 只有一个资源图样, 则终端只要得知自己在某个子帧上被触发, 就知道用哪个 资源图样, 用该资源图样中的哪些资源进行发送。
如果将不同资源图样所对应的资源放置在相同的子帧上,比如将两个资源 图样所对应的资源放在相同的子帧上, 则终端在得知自己在某个子帧上被触 发,仍无法确定该使用该子帧上的哪个资源图样, 所以此时终端还需要接收基 站所发送的关于终端需要采用哪个资源图样的指示,以便终端根据指示在这些 子帧中选择相应的资源发送 SRS。 也就是说, 当一个子帧上包括至少两种带宽 所对应的资源时, 则该触发方法还可以包括:
接收基站发送的关于子帧上用于发送 SRS的资源图样的指示;
则此时, "根据子帧号在预置的多个资源图样中确定一个资源图样" 具体 为: 根据子帧号确定子帧,根据接收到的指示在该子帧所对应的至少两个资源 图样中确定一个资源图样。
当然,如果一个子帧上只有一种带宽, 该触发方法可以不包括上述指示过 程。
303、根据选择的资源发送 SRS, 具体发送 SRS的过程可参见现有技术, 在 此不再赘述。
在上述触发方法中,资源图样可以由用户根据实际应用的需要直接在终端 上进行预置, 或者, 也可以由基站通过高层信令对终端进行预置, 即可选的, 在终端被触发之前, 该触发方法还可以包括:
接受基站通过高层信令对资源图样的配置,其中,该资源图样至少为一个。 具体可以为下面方式的任意一种:
( 1 )接收基站通过高层信令分别发送的各个资源图样中资源信息; 然后 根据接收到的资源信息分别对各个资源图样进行配置;
例如,接收基站通过高层信令发送的各个资源图样所对应的时间信息、持 续时间、所在的频段信息、跳频信息、使用的循环移位信息和使用的梳齿信息; 根据各个资源图样所对应的时间信息、持续时间、所在的频段信息、跳频信息、 使用的循环移位信息和使用的梳齿信息分别对各个资源图样进行配置; 或者,
( 2 )若各个资源图样之间具有相同的资源信息和不同的资源信息, 即不 同的资源图样中具有部分相同的资源信息, 则为了节省配置信令的开销, 可以 接收基站通过高层信令发送的一份相同的资源信息,并接收基站通过高层信令 分别发送的各个不同的资源信息;然后根据接收到的相同的资源信息对所有资 源图样进行配置;再根据接收到的不同的资源信息分别对各个资源图样进行配 置; 例如,如果各个带宽所使用的循环移位和梳齿相同, 则接受基站通过高层 信令对资源图样的配置可以包括:
接收基站通过高层信令发送的一份循环移位信息和梳齿信息,并接收基站 通过高层信令分别发送的各个带宽所对应的时间信息、 持续时间、 带宽信息、 频段信息和跳频信息;
根据循环移位信息和梳齿信息对所有资源图样进行配置;
根据各个带宽所对应的时间信息、持续时间、 带宽信息、 频段信息和跳频 信息分别对各个资源图样进行配置。
由上可知, 本实施例采用在终端中预置至少一个资源图样, 并且, 这些预 置的资源图样中为不同的测量需求分别预置了对应的资源信息,当终端被基站 触发后, 就可以根据触发在预置的资源图样中选择资源, 并利用所选资源发送
SRS, 由于在该方案中, 终端中预置了多个资源图样, 这些资源图样中又都具 有与各种测量需求对应的资源信息,所以在匹配资源时更为灵活, 可以满足不 同测量带宽的需求, 避免了现有技术中出现的 PDCCH开销大或资源浪费的情 况。 实施例四、
才艮据实施例一、二和三所描述的方法, 以下将以该基站为演进基站为例作 进一步详细说明。 另外, 为了描述方便, 在本发明实施例中, 均以在演进基站 配置两个资源图样为例进行说明,应当理解的是, 该资源图样的数量可以根据 实际应用的需要进行调整。
首先, 需要为演进基站预置两个资源图样, 这两个资源图样中具有不同的 资源信息, 分别对应着不同的测量需求, 这样针对不同的测量需求, eNB可以 根据测量的需求信息选择其中的一种进行测量, 从而增加了灵活性。 其中, 资 源信息可以包括时间信息、持续时间、带宽信息、所在的频段信息、跳频信息、 使用的循环移位信息和使用的梳齿信息。 当然, 这两个资源图样可以在时域上 相互错开, 使得在相同的子帧上只有一个资源图样存在, 这样, 只要确定了子 帧就可以确定需要采用哪个资源图样。
参见图 3, 具体流程可以如下:
401、 演进基站通过高层信令为终端进行资源图样的配置; 具体可以为将 自身预置的两个资源图样配置给终端。
例如, 将资源图样 A和资源图样 B配置给终端, 其中, 资源图样 A配置信息 可以包括:
时间信息、 持续时间、 带宽信息、 所在频段的信息、 跳频的信息、 使用的 循环移位信息和使用的梳齿信息等;
在此假定资源图样 A中的带宽为 W 1, 持续时间为 1;
资源图样 B配置信息可以包括:
时间信息、 持续时间、 带宽信息所在频段的信息、 跳频的信息、 使用的循 环移位信息和使用的梳齿信息等;
在此假定资源图样 B中的带宽为 W2, 持续时间为 4;
具体实施时, 可以将不同资源图样中的部分资源信息配置成相同的值, 这 样就只需传输一份该具有相同值的资源信息即可,例如使用相同的循环移位和 梳齿, 那么就只需要传输一份循环移位信息和梳齿信息即可,从而可以降低信 令的开销。
例如, 参见图 4, 这里配置了两种不同的带宽, 其中, 右斜线 (即长的) 方块表示带宽为 wl, 左斜线 (即短的) 方块表示带宽为 w2, 图的纵向表示频 段, 横向表示子帧 (即相当于时间), 图上方的数字 1 ~ 16为子帧的编号。
402、 有测量需要时, 演进基站首先获取测量的需求信息, 然后执行步骤 403。 其中, 该需求信息具体可以包括待测量频段的位置和带宽, 还可以包括 测量的时延、 需要触发的 PDCCH数以及测量的质量要求等;
403、演进基站根据步骤 402中获取到的需求信息查找对应终端的预置的两 个资源图样,按照需求信息从两个资源图样中选择一个资源图样, 然后在选择 的资源图样中选择资源, 即从资源图样中选择子帧; 选择时可以根据预设规则 选择最优的子帧, 也可以选择多个子帧, 即选择子帧组合;
比如, 基站需要终端在被触发后, 可以连续发送 4次 SRS, 则此时基站可 以选择资源图样 B (因为资源图样 B的持续时间为 4, 即表示终端在被触发后, 可以连续发送 4次 SRS ),然后根据步骤 402中获取到的需求信息在资源图样 B选 择合适的子帧。
需说明的是, 这里所说的预设规则等均可以根据实际应用的需求进行设 置, 比如, 挑选子帧的选择标准可以根据业务要求的不同而进行设置, 参见图 5, 如下:
如果采用图 5中的两个子帧上的资源进行 SRS发送, 则待测量带宽中宽度 为 W1的部分被覆盖到, 带宽为 W2的部分没有覆盖到, 另外有带宽为 W3的非 待测量带宽被覆盖到 (即浪费部分), 此时, 演进基站可以为选择的子帧计算 出一个吻合系数 X: x ~a wl +w2 w, +w2 cwl +w2 其中, a、 b和 c是权重系数, 均为正数, 可以根据具体条件进行不同设置。 在计算出吻合系数后, 演进基站将需要触发的 PDCCH数, 以及此次测量 的时延, 与吻合系数 X进行加权合并, 得到加权合并结果, 然后根据该加权合 并结果通过查找选择的资源图样为需要触发的终端选择需要采用的子帧, 1"列^口, 以^口下:
演进基站针对选择出来的这些子帧或子帧组合,计算以下度量值, 该度量 值即为加权合并结果:
M = l*x - m*N_PDCCH - n*delay
其中, X是吻合度, N_PDCCH是触发 PDCCH的数量, delay是完成测量的 延迟, 1、 m和 n是加权系数且均为正数。
在计算出 M值以后, 演进基站选择 M值最高的子帧或子帧组合。
404、 演进基站在选择的子帧上发送触发 PDCCH给终端;
例如, 如果在步骤 403中, 演进基站选择了 X子帧, 则演进基站在第 X子帧 上发送触发 PDCCH给终端。
具体可以在 PDCCH上用 lbit信息位来代表该终端是否被触发, 比如 "0" 代表没有被触发, " 1 " 代表被触发, 等等, 具体可参见现有技术, 在此不再赘 述。
需说明的是, 具体实施时, 不同资源图样所对应的资源可以放置在不同的 子帧上, 也可以放置在同一个子帧上。
如果将不同资源图样所对应的资源放置在不同的子帧上,即每个子帧只放 置一个资源图样所对应的资源, 则终端只要得知自己在某个子帧上被触发, 就 知道用哪个资源图样, 用该资源图样中的哪些资源进行发送。
如果将不同带宽的资源放置在相同的子帧上,即每个子帧上放置了至少两 个资源图样所对应的资源, 则终端在得知自己在某个子帧上被触发,仍无法确 定该使用该子帧上的哪个资源图样,所以此时基站除了需要将这些子帧通知给 终端之外, 还需要在触发 PDCCH中指示出终端需要采用的资源图样, 以便终 端可以根据该指示在子帧中选择相应的资源图样,并根据该资源图样选择合适 的资源发送 SRS。
例如, 具体可以通过在触发 PDCCH中用新增的信息位来指示终端采用哪 个资源进行 SRS发送。 比如发送 0, 代表让终端使用资源图样 A的资源, 发送 1 代表让终端使用资源图样 B的资源。
需说明的是,如上面所述, 虽然可以将不同资源图样的资源放置在相同的 子帧上,但是最好能保证每一个子帧上同时出现的资源图样数少于全部的资源 图样数。 例如, 基站给一个终端配置了 4个资源图样, 那么, 可以通过配置使 得每个子帧上最多只有 2个资源图样对应的资源, 这样的优点是: 只需使用较 少的比特数就能指示出需要使用哪个资源图样对应的资源来发送 SRS。
另外,还需说明的是,还可以在部分子帧上放置一个资源图样所对应的资 源, 在部分子帧上放置至少两个资源图样所对应的资源, 则, 此时, 仍然需要 在触发 PDCCH中指示出终端需要采用的资源图样, 也就是说, 如果在配置的 资源图样下, 所有子帧都最多只出现一个资源图样对应的资源, 则终端在被触 发后, 可以直接根据子帧号确定用于发送 SRS的资源图样, 此时无需指示出终 端需要采用的资源图样。 而如果在配置的资源图样下, 只要存在有的子帧包括 了至少两个资源图样所对应的资源, 则需要指示出终端需要采用的资源图样, 这样终端在被触发后, 才可以根据指示找出相应的资源图样。 述终端利用所选资源发送测量参考信号,所述触发子帧用于向所述终端指示所 述所选资源所位于的子帧, 这样, 当终端接收到触发 PDCCH后, 根据该触发 PDCCH所在的子帧能够确定出所选资源所在的子帧, 这一过程具体可参见后 续实施例五。
405、 终端接收到触发 PDCCH后, 根据接收到的触发 PDCCH确定子帧 号,根据子帧号在预置的两个资源图样中确定一个资源图样, 然后通过在该确 定的资源图样中进行查找来确定资源;
比如, 终端在此确定的资源图样为资源图样 B, 则终端会在资源图样 B 进行查找, 来确定需要的资源。
具体的查找方式可以是根据预置的查找规则来进行查找, 例如,如果终端 在第 X子帧上接收到触发 PDCCH,则终端会查找第 x+N子帧上的资源,其中, 这里的 N是处理时延, 是演进基站与终端双方均知道的一个值, 比如 N=4, 那么终端会查找第 x+4子帧上的资源。
406、 终端按照步骤 405中确定的资源发送 SRS。
例如, 在步骤 405 中, 终端选择了资源图样 B中的资源, 于是终端根据 选择的资源发送 4次 SRS, 因为该选择的资源的持续时间为 4。
比如, 终端应该在从子帧 x+N开始之后的 4个有资源分配的子帧上发送 由上可知, 本实施例采用在基站和终端中均预置两个资源图样, 并在预置 的资源图样中为不同的测量需求预置对应的资源信息,当基站获取到测量的需 求信息后,基站就可以根据需求信息确定资源图样, 并通过查找确定的资源图 样为需要触发的终端选择合适的资源, 然后根据选择的资源触发终端,使得终 端在被触发后, 可以在预置的两个资源图样找到合适的资源图样, 并在该选择 的资源图样中查找到相应的资源以发送 SRS, 由于在该方案中, 不同的测量需 求都具有与之相应的资源信息, 所以在匹配资源时更为灵活, 可以满足不同测 量的需求, 避免了现有技术中出现的 PDCCH开销大或资源浪费的情况。 而且, 由于资源信息中还包括了持续时间, 使得一次触发可以发送多次 SRS, 所以可 以减少触发 PDCCH的数量, 从而从总体上进一步减小了触发 PDCCH的开销。 实施例五、
实施例四的步骤 404中指出,如果演进基站选择的子帧为第 X子帧, 则演进 基站会在第 X子帧上发送触发 PDCCH, 除此之外, 演进基站也可以不在第 X子 帧上发送触发 PDCCH, 而是在第 k个子帧上发送触发 PDCCH, 但是, 此时演 进基站需要将步骤 404中选择的子帧通过其他途径通知给终端, 使得终端可以 得知具体触发的 SRS应该在哪个子帧上。 所述终端接收到的触发 PDCCH所位于的子帧是触发子帧, 其用于向所述 终端指示所述所选资源所位于的子帧,所选资源所位于的子帧可以是触发子帧 后的第 N个子帧, N为正整数。 也可以在 PDCCH中增加指示信息指示所选资源 所位于的子帧。
例如, 演进基站可以在触发 PDCCH中增加信息位, 用以指示具体触发的 SRS应该在哪个子帧上, 如下:
如果在触发 PDCCH中增加 2bit信息位, 用以指示具体触发的 SRS应该在哪 个子帧上, 则可以用如下的映射方式, 指示终端到底在哪个子帧上发送 SRS,
Figure imgf000017_0001
例如, 如果终端接收到在 k子帧上接收到触发 PDCCH, 且该触发 PDCCH 中用于指示 "具体触发的 SRS应该在哪个子帧上" 的信息位为 "00", 则终端 根据表一可以获知, 从 k+N子帧开始, 第一个有资源分配的子帧上为演进基站 所选择的子帧, 所以终端在根据该子帧获取资源, 并根据该资源发送 SRS, 依 此类推。
该实施例的其他步骤与实施例四相同, 在此不再赘述。
需说明的是, 在本发明所有实施例中, 所描述的用于测量的资源, 既可以 是位于现有的 LTE周期性 SRS的资源上的资源,也可以是 LTE-A新增加的资源, 例如, 可以利用保留的资源块(resource block )来进行测量, 或者利用 DMRS 多余的循环移位来进行测量, 等等。
由上可知, 本实施例除了可以实现实施例四同样的有益效果之外, 进一步 的, 本实施例还提供了另一种让终端获知演进基站所选择的子帧的方式,保证 了在任何场景下, 终端均可以获知演进基站所选择的子帧,避免演进基站由于 某些原因而无法在第 x子帧上发送触发 PDCCH时,终端无法准确确定子帧的情 况的发生。 实施例六、

需说明的是, 在本发明实施例中, 持续时间指的是终端被触发之后, 终端 需要发送的 SRS的次数。 另外, 不同资源图样中的资源信息的具体参数值不同 (可以全部不同, 也可以部分不同), 并且在时域上相互错开, 即在相同的子 帧上只有一个资源图样存在。
触发单元 603, 用于利用选择单元 602选择的资源触发终端发送 SRS。 该触 发单元 603可以是个传输端口。
除了需要在基站上预置资源图样外,还需要将该资源图样配置给终端, 具 体可以由用户直接在终端上进行配置,也可以由基站通过高层信令在终端上进 行配置, 即如图 6b所示, 该基站 600还可以包括配置单元 604; 配置单元 604, 用于通过高层信令将预置的资源图样配置给终端 700, 具体 的配置方式可参见前面实施例, 在此不再赘述。 配置单元 604可以是端口。
需说明的是, 为了更好地说明各单元之间的关系, 图 6b中还给出终端 700。 其中, 如图 6b所示, 选择单元 602可以包括第一选择子单元 6021和第二选 择子单元 6022, 可以分别是不同的处理器单元;

其中, 其中, 该需求信息具体可以包括测量的位置和带宽, 还可以包括测 量的时延、 需要触发的 PDCCH数以及测量的质量要求等; 则第二选择子单元 6022计算子级单元、 处理子级单元和确定子级单元;
计算子级单元, 用于根据获取单元 601获取的待测量频段的位置和带宽计 算吻合系数; 可参见前面实施例;

确定子级单元,用于根据处理子级单元得到的加权合并结果通过查找第一 选择子单元 6021选择的的资源图样为需要触发的终端选择资源。
如图 6b所示,如果将不同资源图样所对应的资源放置在相同的子帧上, 则 还可以向终端指示这些子帧上用于发送 SRS的资源图样, 即该基站 600还可以 包括指示单元 605;
指示单元 605, 向终端 700指示这些子帧上用于发送 SRS的资源图样, 以便 终端 700在被触发单元触发后, 可以根据指示在这些子帧中选择相应的资源发 送 SRS。
该基站 600具体可以为演进基站, 或者具有类似功能的其他实体。
以上各个单元的具体实施可参见前面实施例, 在此不再赘述。
由上可知, 本实施例采用在基站 600和终端 700均预置资源图样, 并在预置 的资源图样中为不同的需求信息分别预置对应的资源信息, 当基站 600的获取 单元 601获取到测量的需求信息后, 基站 600的选择单元 602就可以根据该需求 信息通过查找预置的多个资源图样为需要触发的终端 700选择合适的资源, 然 后由触发单元 603利用选择的资源触发终端 700, 使得终端 700在被触发后, 可 以根据预置的资源图样找到合适的资源图样,并在找到的资源图样中查找到相 应的资源以发送 SRS, 由于在该方案中, 不同的测量需求都具有与之相应的资 源信息, 所以在匹配资源信息时更为灵活, 可以满足不同测量的需求, 避免了 现有技术中出现的 PDCCH开销大或资源浪费的情况。 而且, 由于资源信息中 还包括了持续时间, 使得一次触发可以发送多次 SRS, 所以可以减少触发 PDCCH的数量, 从而从总体上进一步减小了触发 PDCCH的开销。 实施例七、
相应的, 本发明实施例还提供了一种终端 700, 如图 7a所示, 该终端 700 包括被触发单元 701、 选择单元 702和发送单元 703 ;
被触发单元 701, 用于接收基站 600的触发; 被触发单元 701可以是一个接 口, 用于接收触发的信号。
选择单元 702,用于根据被触发单元 701所接收的触发在预置的资源图样中 选择资源, 其中, 资源图样中预置了各种需求信息所对应的资源信息; 该选择 单元 702可以是处理器。
该资源信息可以包括时间信息、持续时间、 带宽信息、 频段信息和跳频信 息等信息, 还可以包括循环移位信息和梳齿信息等信息。 其中, 持续时间指的 是终端 700被触发之后, 终端 700需要发送的 SRS的次数。 具体实现时, 可以将 不同资源图样所对应的资源放置在不同的子帧上,也可以将不同资源图样所对 应的资源放置在相同的子帧上。 另外, 还需说明的是, 不同的资源图样中的具 体配置参数不同, 并且, 不同的资源图样在时域上相互错开, 即在相同的子帧 上只有一个资源图样存在。
发送单元 703,用于根据选择单元 702选择的资源发送 SRS。该发送单元 703 可以是一个传输端口。
资源图样可以由用户根据实际应用的需要直接在终端上进行预置, 或者, 也可以由基站 600通过高层信令对终端 700进行预置, 即可选的, 如图 7b所示, 该终端 700还可以包括被配置单元 704; 被配置单元 704, 可以是另一端口, 其可用于接受基站 600通过高层信令对 资源图样的配置, 其中, 资源图样至少为一个。
则,选择单元 702,还用于根据被触发单元 701所接收的触发在配置单元 704 所配置的资源图样中选择资源。
其中, 如图 7b所示, 选择单元 702可以包括子帧号确定子单元 7021、 资源 图样确定子单元 7022和资源选择子单元 7023, 可以分别是不同的处理器单元; 子帧号确定子单元 7021, 用于根据被触发单元 701所接收的触发确定子帧 号;
资源图样确定子单元 7022,用于根据子帧号确定子单元 7021所确定的子帧 号在预置的多个资源图样中确定一个资源图样; 比如,在根据子帧号确定子单 元 7021所确定的子帧号在配置单元 704所配置的至少一个资源图样中选择资 源;
资源选择子单元 7023,用于在资源图样确定子单元 7022确定的资源图样中 选择资源。
具体实现时, 可以将不同资源图样所对应的资源放置在不同的子帧上, 也 可以将不同资源图样所对应的资源放置在相同的子帧上。
如果将不同资源图样所对应的资源放置在不同的子帧上,即每一个子帧上 只有一个 SRS资源, 则终端 700只要得知自己在某个子帧上被触发, 就知道用 哪个资源图样, 用该资源图样中的哪些参数进行发送。
如果将不同资源图样所对应的资源放置在相同的子帧上,比如将两个资源 图样放在相同的子帧上, 则终端在得知自己在某个子帧上被触发,仍无法确定 该使用该子帧上的哪个资源图样, 所以此时终端 700还需要接收基站所发送的 关于终端 700需要采用哪些资源图样的指示,以便终端 700根据指示在这些子帧 中选择相应的资源图样, 并在该资源图样中选择合适的资源发送 SRS。 也就是 说, 当一个子帧上包括至少两种资源图样所对应的资源时, 则该终端 700还可 以包括:
接收单元, 用于接收基站 600发送的关于子帧上用于发送 SRS的资源图样 的指示;
则此时, 终端 700的选择单元 702,还用于根据接收到的指示在预置的至少 一个资源图样中选择资源图样, 并在选择的资源图样中选择资源。 以上各个单元的具体实施可参见前面实施例, 在此不再赘述。
由上可知, 本实施例采用在终端 700中预置至少一个资源图样, 并且, 这 些预置的资源图样中为不同的测量需求分别预置了对应的资源信息, 当终端 700被基站 600触发后,终端 700的选择单元 702就可以根据触发在预置的至少一 个资源图样中选择资源, 并由发送单元 703利用所选资源发送 SRS, 由于在该 方案中, 终端中预置了多个资源图样,使得不同测量需求都具有与之相应的资 源信息, 所以在匹配资源时更为灵活, 可以满足不同测量的需求, 避免了现有 技术中出现的 PDCCH开销大或资源浪费的情况。 而且, 由于资源信息中还包 括了持续时间, 使得一次触发可以发送多次 SRS, 所以可以减少触发 PDCCH 的数量, 从而从总体上进一步减小了触发 PDCCH的开销。 实施例八、
相应的, 本发明实施例还提供了一种通信系统, 如图 8所示, 该通信系统 包括本发明实施例提供的任一种终端 700和本发明实施例提供的任一种基站 600;
以上各个单元的具体实施可参见前面实施例, 在此不再赘述。
由上可知,本实施例的通信系统采用在基站 600和终端 700中均预置至少一 个资源图样,并在预置的这些资源图样中为不同的测量需求分别预置对应的资 源信息, 当基站 600获取到测量的需求信息后,基站 600就可以根据需求信息选 择合适的资源图样, 然后通过查找选择的资源图样为需要触发的终端 700选择 合适的资源, 然后利用选择的资源触发终端 700, 使得终端 700在被触发后, 可 以根据预置的至少一个资源图样找到相应的资源以发送 SRS, 由于在该方案 中, 不同的需求信息都具有与之相应的资源信息, 所以在匹配资源信息时更为 灵活, 可以满足不同测量的需求, 避免了现有技术中出现的 PDCCH开销大或 资源浪费的情况。 而且, 由于资源信息中还包括了持续时间, 使得一次触发可 以发送多次 SRS,所以可以减少触发 PDCCH的数量,从而从总体上进一步减小 了触发 PDCCH的开销。 本领域普通技术人员可以理解上述实施例的各种方法中的全部或部分步 骤是可以通过程序来指令相关的硬件来完成,该程序可以存储于一计算机可读 存储介质中, 存储介质可以包括: 只读存储器(ROM, Read Only Memory )、 随机存取记忆体 ( RAM, Random Access Memory)、 磁盘或光盘等。
