Description

信息传输方法、设备和系统 技术领域
本发明实施例涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种信息传输方法、设备和系统。
背景技术
为了满足移动宽带对高速数据传输的需求,人们将目光投向了毫米波频段。当前,学术界将30GHz~100GHz的频段称作毫米波频段。由于毫米波频段具有很大的可用带宽,比如在60GHz频段范围内,各国无需许可就可免费使用的带宽大约为7GHz~9GHz;同时在毫米波频段可以较容易地实现定向传输,因此毫米波频段可以以极高的数据传输速率实现低干扰、高保密的通信。基站在毫米波频段可以使用广播波束或者单播波束与用户设备(英文:User Equipment,简称:UE)进行通信,其中,广播波束可以扫描到的区域称为广播覆盖区,单播波束扫描到的区域通常大于广播覆盖区,单播波束扫描到的区域与广播覆盖区之间的区域称为单播覆盖区。由于毫米波传输信号衰减得很快,因此基站向UE发送的广播信息不适合用全向天线进行传输,从而UE在上述广播覆盖区或者单播覆盖区时如何接收广播信息亟需解决。

本实施例中,当UE确定该UE处于第一覆盖区时,网络设备可以通过广播波束向该广播波束能覆盖的区域内的所有UE发送广播信息,UE可以通过广播波束接收网络设备发送的广播信息,从而实现UE在第一覆盖区可以接收到网络设备发送的广播信息。该广播波束的发散角度可以大于预设角度,例如也可以将广播波束称为宽波束。
本实施例中,当UE确定该UE处于第二覆盖区时,UE接收不到网络设备通过广播波束发送的广播信息,因此,为了使UE可以接收到广播信息以保证该UE与该网络设备之间的正常通信,网络设备可以通过单播波束向该UE发送广播信息,UE通过单播波束接收广播信息,从而实现了UE在第二覆盖区可以接收到网络设备发送的广播信息,也保证了UE与网络设备之间的正常通信。该单播波束的发散角度不大于该广播波束的发散角度,如该单播波束的发散角度可以小于或等于上述的预设角度,在同一发射功率的情况下,单播波束的传输距离大于广播波束的传输距离,例如也可以将单播波束称为窄波束。

本实施例中,该网络设备接收该UE发送的第一单播波束的标识,该网络设备可以确定该第一单播波束的标识为上述H个单播波束中UE接收的质量最好的单播波束;可选地,该网络设备接收的第一单播波束的标识与该网络设备当前与该UE通信使用的单播波束的标识不相同。然后,网络设备根据该第一单播波束的标识,通过该第一单播波束向该UE发送单播信息,UE也通过该第一单播波束接收该网络设备发送的单播信息。从而实现从多个单 播波束中确定一个与该UE进行通信的单播波束,实现UE处于第一覆盖区时单播波束的跟踪与测量。
需要说明的是,S505-S508中所提及的单播波束为下行单播波束,相应地,采用类似S505-S508的步骤可以进行上行单播波束的跟踪与测量,从而确定质量最好的上行单播波束,进而可以在UE处于第一覆盖区时确定UE与网络设备之间通信所使用的质量最好的单播波束对。
本实施例,当UE在第一覆盖区时,由网络设备向通过多个广播波束向UE发送同步信号和/或训练导频,UE从中确定质量最好的广播波束并上报给网络设备,从而网络设备与UE使用该质量最好的广播波束进行广播信息传输,从而实现了的广播波束跟踪与测量,以及网络设备通过多个单播波束向UE发送同步信号和/或训练导频,UE从中确定质量最好的单播波束并上报给网络设备,从而网络设备与UE使用该质量最好的单播波束进行单播信息传输,从而实现了单播波束跟踪与测量。
图13为本发明信息传输方法实施例六的流程图,如图13所示,本实施例在本发明方法实施例一至五任一实施例的基础上,本实施例的方法可以包括:
S601、当UE处于第二覆盖区时,所述网络设备通过H个单播波束向所述UE发送同步信号和/或训练导频,H≥2。
当UE处于第二覆盖区时,UE接收不到网络设备发送的广播波束,因此本实施例对单播波束进行说明。可选地,该H个单播波束包括该UE的服务波束以及N个相邻单播波束,N为大于或等于1的整数。UE的服务波束属于单播波束。
S602、所述UE根据所述同步信号和/或所述训练导频进行下行同步,以及确定所述H个单播波束中各单播波束的质量。
S603、所述UE向所述网络设备发送第一单播波束的标识,所述第一单播波束为所述H个单播波束中质量最好的单播波束。
S604、所述网络设备通过所述第一单播波束向所述UE发送单播信息和广播信息。
S601-S604的具体实现过程可以参见本发明方法实施例五中S505-S508的相关记载,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,当UE处于第二覆盖区时,UE接收不到网络设备通过广播波束发送的广播信息,因此网络设备通过第一单播波束向UE发送广播信息;S604中指的“所述网络设备通过所述第一单播波束向所述UE发送单播信息和广播信息”表示:网络设备在某一时间通过第一单播波束向UE发送单播信息,网络设备在另一时间通过第一单播波束向UE发送广播信息;或者,网络设备在同一时间通过第一单播波束向UE发送广播信息和单播信息。
需要说明的是,S601-S604中所提及的单播波束为下行单播波束,相应地,采用类似S601-S604的步骤可以进行上行单播波束的跟踪与测量,从而确定质量最好的上行单播波束,进而可以在UE处于第二覆盖区时确定UE与网络设备之间通信所使用的质量最好的单播波束对。
本实施例,当UE在第二覆盖区时,由网络设备通过多个单播波束向UE发送同步信号和/或训练导频,UE从中确定质量最好的单播波束并上报给网络设备,从而网络设备与UE使用该质量最好的单播波束进行单播信息传输,从而实现了单播波束跟踪与测量。
可选地,本发明方法实施例五或六中,同步信号和/或训练导频的传输占用一个TTI的部分OFDM符号,比如,一个TTI宽14个OFDM符号,若H个单播波束为4个单播波束,则该同步信号和/或训练导频在该TTI上的传输只占开头4个正交频分复用技术(英文:Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,简称:OFDM)符号。这样,对传输同步信号和/或训练导频的TTI,UE接收数据时需要排除开头4个OFDM符号或排除开头4个OFDM符号中同步信号和/或训练导频所占的资源位置。
在本发明方法实施例五或六的基础上,可选地,网络设备在执行S505或者S601之前,还可以向所述UE发送所述UE对所述H个单播波束进行测量的配置信息,所述配置信息包括所述H个单播波束中各单播波束的标识和/或发送时间,相应地,UE会接收网络设备发送的该UE对该H个单播波束进行测量的配置信息。然后UE根据该配置信息,在该H个单播波束中各单播波束的发送时间通过各标识对应的单播波束接收同步信号和/或训练导频。
可选地,S507或S603中的所述UE向所述网络设备发送第一单播波束的标识,具体为:UE在确定第一单播波束的标识后均将该标识上报给该网络设备。或者,在第一单播波束与UE当前与网络设备通信使用的单播波束的标 识不相同时,该UE将该第一单播波束的标识上报给该网络设备;具体地,UE在确定第一单播波束的标识后,该UE判断该第一单播波束的标识与该UE当前与该网络设备通信使用的单播波束的标识是否相同;当该第一单播波束的标识与该UE当前与该网络设备通信所使用的单播波束的标识相同时,则UE停止向该网络设备发送该第一单播波束的标识,即UE不向该网络设备发送该第一单播波束的标识;当该第一单播波束的标识与该UE当前与该网络设备通信使用的单播波束的标识不相同时,该UE向该网络设备发送该第一单播波束的标识。
可选地,S507或S603中的所述UE向所述网络设备发送所述第一单播波束的标识,包括:所述UE根据质量从高到低的顺序,或者,从低到高的顺序,向所述网络设备发送Y个单播波束的标识,所述Y为大于或等于1,并且,小于或等于所述N的整数,即向网络设备发送H个单播波束的全部或部分单播波束的标识;或者所述UE向所述网络设备发送所述Y个单播波束质量的排序信息,该排序信息例如为21345,表示UE发送了5个单播波束质量的排序信息,其中质量最好的单播波束的标识为2,质量第二的单播波束的标识为1,以此类推;或者表示UE发送了5个单播波束质量的排序信息,其中第一个单播波束的质量排序为第2位,第二个单播波束的质量排序为第1位(即质量最好),以此类推。相应地,网络设备接收UE根据质量从高到低的顺序,或者,从低到高的顺序,发送的Y个单播波束的标识,或者所述网络设备接收所述UE发送所述Y个单播波束质量的排序信息。例如:当UE根据质量从高到低的顺序向网络设备发送H个单播波束的标识时,网络设备将第一个单播波束的标识作为第一单播波束的标识;当UE根据质量从低到高的顺序向网络设备发送H个单播波束的标识,网络设备将第H个单播波束的标识作为第一单播波束的标识。
可选地,在网络设备接收到UE发送的第一单播波束的标识之后,该网络设备可以向UE发送第一信令,该第一信令包括第二单播波束的标识。例如:网络设备可以根据第一单播波束的标识向该UE发送第一信令。或者,网络设备可以根据接收的UE根据质量从高到低的顺序,或者,从低到高的顺序,发送的所述H个单播波束的标识,向UE发送第一信令。该第二单播波束可以与第一单播波束相同,也可以是与第一单播波束不相同,其中,该 第二单播波束可以是这H个单播波束中除第一单播波束之外的一个单播波束,或者,该第二单播波束也可以是除这H个单播波束之外的一个单播波束。并且,网络设备还将UE的服务波束切换为该第二单播波束。相应地,UE在向网络设备发送第一单播波束的标识后,接收该网络设备发送的该第一信令,该UE根据该第一信令,将该UE的服务波束切换为该第二单播波束。可选地,该第一信令可以是专用信令,比如物理层或介质访问控制(英文:Media Access Control,简称:MAC)层控制信令或无线资源控制(英文:Radio Resource Control,简称:RRC)消息。
在本发明上述各方法实施例的基础上,可选地,该UE确定该UE处于该第二覆盖区之后,还包括:该UE停止向该网络设备发起随机接入过程或停止正在进行的随机接入过程。处于第二覆盖区的UE通过上行传输维持上行同步,如果处于第二覆盖区的UE失去上行同步,则UE进入无线链路失败状态。
可选地,所述网络设备确定所述UE处于所述第一覆盖区之后,该网络设备通过一个广播波束发送的PRACH配置信息;UE接收该网络设备通过一个广播波束发送的PRACH配置信息,然后UE通过一个上行波束、在所述PRACH配置信息指示的时频资源上向该网络设备发送随机接入前导,该上行波束与UE接收PRACH配置信息的广播波束存在关联关系或该上行波束的发送方向与网络设备发送PRACH配置信息所使用的广播波束的发送方向相反。网络设备指定上下行波束的关联关系或协议约定它们的关联关系,比如约定波束标识相同的上下行波束相关联。该随机接入前导可以是网络设备所指定的;网络设备接收UE通过一个上行波束、在所述PRACH配置信息指示的时频资源上发送的随机接入前导后,该网络设备向该UE发送RAR消息,该RAR消息包括所述随机接入前导的标识和上行授权信息,所述上行授权信息用于授权所述UE与所述网络设备通信使用的上行时频资源和上行波束,可选地,该RAR消息还可以包括所述上行波束的标识,还可以包括上行定时提前量。其中,该上行授权信息授权的上行波束可以是UE发送随机接入前导使用的上行波束。
UE接收网络设备发送的RAR消息,还可以确定该RAR消息中包括的随机接入前导的标识与UE向网络设备发送的随机接入前导的标识是否相同, 若该RAR消息中包括的随机接入前导的标识与UE向网络设备发送的随机接入前导的标识相同时,UE通过该上行授权信息授权的上行波束在该上行授权信息授权的上行时频资源上向该网络设备发送随机接入消息3,该随机接入消息包括该UE的标识信息,以实现唯一识别该UE;网络设备接收该UE通过该上行授权信息授权的上行波束在该上行授权信息授权的上行时频资源上发送的该随机接入消息3。若该RAR消息中包括的随机接入前导的标识与UE向网络设备发送的随机接入前导的标识不相同时,则UE继续向网络设备发送随机接入前导并继续接收网络设备发送的RAR消息。在一次随机接入过程中,UE发送随机接入前导的次数超过设定次数后会进入随机接入失败处理过程。
可选地,为了UE省电,UE发送随机接入消息3的子帧位置可以通过UE发送随机接入前导的子帧确定,比如UE发送随机接入消息3的子帧位置为UE发送随机接入前导的子帧加7个TTI之后的连续第一个控制子帧。
可选地,所述上行授权信息用于授权所述UE与所述网络设备通信使用的上行波束,包括:所述上行授权信息用于授权所述UE使用所有上行波束与所述网络设备通信。由于终端移动,随机接入过程中可能需要切换波束。为了解决这个问题,随机接入消息3中的上行授权信息可以不限定在终端发送随机接入前导的上行波束上,可以扩展为:随机接入消息3中的上行授权信息适用于所有上行波束。对适用于所有上行波束的情况,网络设备需要在上行授权信息对应控制子帧的所有上行波束上为UE预留无线时频资源,即确保不再分配这些预留无线时频资源给别的UE适用。类似地,对网络设备指定给终端的专用随机接入前导的传输,既指定适用的上行波束,也可适用于所有上行波束。
可选地,在上下行数据子帧,基站或终端使用低功率、单播波束发射,数据子帧的传输覆盖可以大于控制子帧的传输覆盖。在下行控制子帧上传输主同步信号(英文:Primary Synchronization Signal,简称:PSS)/辅助同步信号(英文:Secondary Synchronization Signal,简称:SSS)、公共参考信号(英文:Common Reference Signal,简称:CRS)、系统信息(英文:System Information,简称:SI)、RAR等广播信息,上行控制子帧传输随机接入前导(英文:Preamble)。在控制子帧,网络设备或UE使用高功率、广播波束 发射,通常传输覆盖较小。每个子帧为一个TTI。为了避免下行控制子帧功率过大,可以适当压缩发射频率带宽,既可以如图14所示集中在中间频带,也可以分散以获取测量频选增益。按照约定的混合自动重传请求(英文:Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request,简称:HARQ)重传时序关系,如果上行单播数据传输的HARQ重传所在子帧为控制子帧,则UE需要采用LTE协议中HARQ重传所在子帧为测量间隔一样的处理,即跳过本次HARQ重传。
在本发明方法实施例七中,当该UE与该网络设备需要跨载波调度时,该网络设备在调度小区的第一TTI向该UE发送DCI,该DCI指示被调度小区上连续K个第二TTI中的无线资源分配信息,所述K为大于或等于2的整数。相应地,该UE接收该网络设备在调度小区的第一TTI发送的该DCI。通常该第一TTI的大小为该第二TTI的大小的K倍。
现有的第三代移动通信伙伴组织(英文:3rd Generation Partnership Project,简称:3GPP)长期演进(英文:Long Term Evolution,简称LTE)LTE系统中的TTI的大小为1ms。在毫米波频段通信的情况下,由于可用频率带宽很大,一个载波的带宽可以到达GHz级别,继续使用1ms的TTI会由于资源粒度过大而导致资源浪费的情况,因此,在毫米波频段下,TTI小于1ms。在通过载波聚合(英文:Carrier Aggregation,简称:CA)的方式将小于1ms的TTI的毫米波频段载波作为辅载波配置给UE,而主载波为采用1ms的TTI的低频段载波,在进行跨载波调度时如何通过1ms的TTI的载波对小于1ms的毫米波载波进行跨载波调度亟需解决。因此,在本发明实施例中,若第一TTI为1ms,而第二TTI为0.1ms,那么在1ms的TTI中来调度连续10个第二TTI中的无线资源分配置信息,从而解决了上述问题。
可选地,所述无线资源分配信息根据连续K个第二TTI中的PRB的统一编号来指示。即将连续K个TTI内的子帧划分为一组,再将毫米波小区的频率带宽划分为Y等分(频带边缘可能不使用而不计入Y等分内)。这样处理后,可以得到K×Y个PRB,然后将这K×Y个PRB进行编一编号。若K×Y为100,则这100个PRB的统一编号可以为0~99。上述的DCI指示被调度小区上连续K个第二TTI中的无线资源分配信息,即DCI可以包括编号1、3、11、13…91、93,该DCI指示在这K个第二TTI中调度编号为1、3、11、13…91、93的PRB。
可选地,所述PRB的统一编号在时域上的顺序为:时间从早到晚;所述PRB的统一编号在频域上的顺序为:频率从高到低。如图15所示,若第一TTI的大小为4个第二TTI的大小,K为4,Y为7,则可以将4个第二TTI中的PRB进行编号。
可选地,所述PRB的统一编号在时域上的顺序为:时间从早到晚;所述PRB的统一编号在频域上的顺序为:频率从低到高。如图16所示,若第一TTI的大小为4个第二TTI的大小,K为4,Y为7,将4个第二TTI中的PRB进行编号。
本发明实施例提供的将毫米波小区多个子帧的无线资源进行统一编号,并通过一个传统下行控制信息调度多个毫米波子帧的方式也适用于毫米波自调度的场景,还可以减少下行控制信息开销和节省UE的耗电。
可选地,只要PRB最大编号不大于100,就可以用LTE现有小区的一个DCI调度毫米波小区上的多个TTI传输。如果PRB最大编号大于100,则需要引入新的DCI格式来支持更大PRB数目的调度。对这种一个DCI调度K个连续子帧的情况,被调度PRB可能属于多个第二TTI。通常情况,一个传输块(英文:Transport Block,简称:TB)只在一个TTI内所有被调度的PRB上传输。一个TB需要一个HARQ反馈。由于LTE现有小区最多支持跨载波调度4个其他小区,每个被调度小区最多一个HARQ反馈,这时HARQ反馈可以采用跨载波调度多个辅组小区SCell的情况类似处理。如果所述LTE传统小区的TTI超过其调度的毫米波小区TTI的4倍,则需要扩展所述LTE传统小区中用于HARQ反馈的资源,或者扩展可以跨载波调度的小区数量。
图17为本发明信息传输系统实施例的结构示意图,如图17所示,本实施例的系统包括:UE10和网络设备20,UE10与网络设备20通信连接,其中,UE10可以采用图1~图3任一装置实施例的结构,其对应地,可以执行本发明上述各方法实施例中UE所执行的技术方案,其实现原理和技术效果类似,此处不再赘述;网络设备20可以采用采用图4~图6任一装置实施例的结构,其对应地,可以执行本发明上述各方法实施例中网络设备所执行的技术方案,其实现原理和技术效果类似,此处不再赘述。
