Abstract

Description

通信方法和网络设备 技术领域
本发明实施例涉及通信领域,并且更具体地,涉及一种通信方法和网络设备。
背景技术
在长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统中,子帧的长度为1ms。现有的物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Share Channel,PUSCH)和物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Share Channel,PDSCH)调度的传输时间间隔(Transmission Time Interval,TTI)的长度为1ms。为了降低系统的时延,以满足低时延业务的要求,可以在物理层将TTI长度缩短,例如采用0.5ms的TTI长度承载用户数据,即PUSCH和PDSCH调度的TTI长度为0.5ms,从而缩短往返时延(Round-Trip Time,RTT),实现更短的物理层数据传输时延。
在1ms TTI的PUSCH的帧结构中,1ms TTI包含两个0.5ms时隙,每个时隙都用一个符号传输解调参考信号(Demodulate Reference Signal,DMRS)。基站根据DMRS对用户设备(User Equipment,UE)传输的上行数据进行解调。并且,基站通过TTI中两个时隙的DMRS,可以较好地对TTI进行信道估计,尤其是可以通过TTI中的两个DMRS对TTI进行频偏估计,以纠正上行的频率偏移。然而当采用0.5ms TTI等短TTI进行PUSCH传输时,在一个TTI中只有一个时隙用来发送PUSCH,即一个TTI中只有一个DMRS,信道估计的效果较差,并且无法实现频偏估计。

应理解,本发明实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile Communication,简称为“GSM”)系统、码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,简称为“CDMA”)系统、宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,简称为“WCDMA”)系统、长期演进(Long Term Evolution,简称为“LTE”)系统、LTE频分双工(Frequency Division Duplex,简称为“FDD”)系统、LTE时分双工(Time Division Duplex,简称为“TDD”)、通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System,简称为“UMTS”)、设备间通信(D2D)、机器间通信(M2M)以及未来的5G通信系统等。
本发明结合网络设备描述了各个实施例,其中网络设备可以是基站,也可以是用户设备。
用户设备也可以称为终端设备,包括接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。接入终端可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、SIP(Session Initiation Protocol,会话启动协议)电话、WLL(Wireless Local Loop,无线本地环路)站、PDA(Personal Digital Assistant,个人数字处理)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及未来网络(如5G网络)中的用户设备。

此外,本发明的各个方面或特征可以实现成方法、装置或使用标准编程和/或工程技术的制品。本申请中使用的术语“制品”涵盖可从任何计算机可读器件、载体或介质访问的计算机程序。例如,计算机可读介质可以包括,但不限于:磁存储器件(例如,硬盘、软盘或磁带等),光盘(例如,CD(Compact  Disk,压缩盘)、DVD(Digital Versatile Disk,数字通用盘)等),智能卡和闪存器件(例如,EPROM(Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory,可擦写可编程只读存储器)、卡、棒或钥匙驱动器等)。另外,本文描述的各种存储介质可代表用于存储信息的一个或多个设备和/或其它机器可读介质。术语“机器可读介质”可包括但不限于,无线信道和能够存储、包含和/或承载指令和/或数据的各种其它介质。
图1示出了应用本发明实施例的一种通信系统的示意性架构图。如图1所示,该通信系统100可以包括基站102和用户设备104~114(图中简称为UE)通过无线连接或有线连接或其它方式连接。图1只是举例的简化示意图,通信系统100中还可以包括其它网络设备,图1中未予以画出。
在现有的LTE系统中,PUSCH调度的TTI的长度为1ms。其中,1ms TTI对应一个子帧,一个子帧包括两个时隙,一个时隙上固定的预留有1个符号用于发送DMRS(该DMRS不需基站指示UE,而是系统本身设置好的,UE被基站调度PUSCH时自动发送该DMRS)。本发明实施例涉及短TTI,短TTI的长度短于1ms,即短于现有的一个子帧,典型的短TTI可以是0.5ms TTI,还可以是包括两个或两个以上符号的长度单元。在图1所示的通信系统100中,在某一时刻与基站102通信连接的用户设备104~114中,可以一部分是基于短TTI传输的UE,另一部分是基于长TTI传输的UE;也可以全部是基于短TTI传输的UE,本发明实施例对此不作限定。
下面对通信系统中的现有的探测参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal,SRS)的发送流程进行简要的介绍。
SRS用于对上行信道的质量进行探测。通过UE发送的SRS,基站可以对UE的上行信道质量进行探测,由此确定UE上行调度分配的资源块的频率位置。SRS在一个子帧的最后一个符号发送,其具体发送过程如下。
基站配置小区中可以用于上行发送SRS的子帧配置周期和子帧偏移量。该小区配置如下表1所示,其中,SRS-SubframeConfig为子帧配置的序号,Binary为序号的二进制表示,TSFC为子帧配置周期(subframe configuration period),
Figure PCTCN2015085145-appb-000001
为子帧偏移量(subframe transmission offset)。在实际应用时,表1配置在UE中,基站为其服务的某一UE分配一个子帧配置的序号(可以以二进制方式通知该UE),例如分配了序号为0的子帧配置。则该UE根据表1和序号0,确定子帧配置对应的子帧配置周期1和子帧偏移量{0},进 而获知其上行时发送SRS的子帧。其中,子帧配置周期1表示以每1个子帧为周期,子帧偏移量{0}表示以0号子帧开始。
表1
SRS-SubframeConfig Binary TSFC ΔSFC
0 0000 1 {0}
1 0001 2 {0}
2 0010 2 {1}
3 0011 5 {0}
4 0100 5 {1}
5 0101 5 {2}
6 0110 5 {3}
7 0111 5 {0,1}
8 1000 5 {2,3}
9 1001 10 {0}
10 1010 10 {1}
11 1011 10 {2}
12 1100 10 {3}
13 1101 10 {0,1,2,3,4,6,8}
14 1110 10 {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,8}
15 1111 reserved reserved
应理解,基站配置可以发送SRS的子帧后,就使得在时域上存在一部分资源是可以有SRS发送的,称之为SRS发送子帧;时域上的另一部分资源是没有SRS发送的,称之为非SRS发送子帧。而子帧与TTI有一定的对应关系,因此一些TTI对应的时域资源上有基站配置的SRS发送,另外一些TTI对应的时域资源上没有基站配置的SRS发送。
基站配置小区的SRS带宽和UE的SRS带宽。例如,表2为当上行带宽为
Figure PCTCN2015085145-appb-000002
时,SRS的带宽配置表。其中,CSRS为小区的SRS带宽配置(SRS bandwidth configuration),BSRS为UE的SRS带宽配置(SRS-Bandwidth),mSRS为UE的SRS发送带宽,N为跳频相关参数,用于确定跳频带宽。
表2
Figure PCTCN2015085145-appb-000003
表2也配置在UE中,基站在为其服务的某一UE分配一个小区的SRS带宽配置和UE的SRS带宽配置。例如基站为UE分配了序号为0的小区的SRS带宽配置,以及UE的SRS带宽配置BSRS=0。则该UE根据序号0对应的小区的SRS带宽配置和BSRS=0对应的mSRS,0为96,N0为1,则可以获知其上行时发送SRS的带宽为96个RB。
基站为UE配置的SRS的相关参数,主要可以包括SRS带宽、频域起始位置、梳齿、循环移位、天线端口等,相关参数的说明如下。
对于小区配置的SRS发送子帧,小区中的不同UE在该子帧的最后一个符号发送SRS。SRS间隔占用子载波,因此SRS占用的子载波在频域上呈梳状。为了保证不同UE发送SRS互相正交,在某个相同的SRS带宽,不同的UE会被配置使用不同的循环移位或梳齿。SRS的序列可以使用其中8个不同的循环移位,2种不同的梳齿,所以在相同的SRS带宽内共有16个可用来发送SRS的资源,也就是说,在这一SRS发送带宽内,最多可以同时发送16个SRS。
频域带宽采用树型结构进行配置。每一种SRS带宽配置(SRS bandwidth configuration)对应一个树形结构,最高层(或称为第一层)的SRS带宽(SRS-Bandwidth)对应该SRS带宽配置的最大SRS带宽,或称为SRS带宽范围。SRS的最大带宽为96个RB,最小带宽为4个RB。
UE根据基站的信令指示,计算得到自身的SRS的带宽后,再根据基站发送的上层信令来确定自身发送SRS的频域起始位置。频域起始位置用5bit 表示,范围为0…23,可以表示最大探测带宽96个RB中以4RB为最小单位的24个可能的位置。
基站除了可以通过表1和表2为UE配置周期性SRS的相关参数,还可以为UE配置非周期性SRS的相关参数。周期SRS和非周期SRS分别对应trigger type 0和trigger type 1。SRS配置索引用于指示SRS发送周期和子帧偏移量,即确定trigger type 0下发送SRS的子帧和trigger type 1下可以发送SRS的子帧。对于trigger type 1下可以发送SRS的子帧,是否发送SRS通过物理下行控制信号(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)中的下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)进行指示。
UE发送周期SRS,即trigger type 0的SRS时,根据基站配置的SRS配置索引,在满足SRS配置索引所指示的子帧配置周期和子帧偏移量的子帧,使用配置的发送带宽、跳频带宽、频域起始位置、梳齿、循环移位以及天线端口等,发送SRS。UE发送非周期SRS,即trigger type 1的SRS时,通过基站发送PDCCH触发UE发送SRS。当UE在子帧n收到触发SRS的PDCCH,UE可以根据SRS配置索引确定子帧n+k,其中k>=4,使用配置的SRS发送带宽、跳频带宽、频域起始位置、梳齿、循环移位以及天线端口等,发送SRS。
下面详细介绍本发明实施例的通信方法,在本发明实施例中第一网络设备可以对应于用户设备,第二网络设备可以对应于基站。应理解,第一网络设备对应于用户设备,第二网络设备对应于基站仅为举例而非限制。第一网络设备和第二网络设备可以分别为具有用户设备或基站类似功能的其它网络设备。
图2示出了本发明一个实施例的通信方法200的示意性流程图。该方法200可以包括:
S230,第一网络设备在一个时间单位上发送解调参考信号DMRS和探测参考信号SRS,其中,该SRS的频域资源和该DMRS的频域资源有重叠。
可选地,该时间单位为一个传输时间间隔TTI。可选地,TTI为短TTI。可选地,TTI的值为0.5ms。
可选地,该时间单位为一个时隙。
可选地,该时间单位为一个子帧。
在S230之前,该方法还可以包括:
S210,该第一网络设备确定第一SRS参数,其中,该第一SRS参数用于表示该第一网络设备在该时间单位上发送SRS所使用的参数,该第一SRS参数为多套SRS参数中的一套,该多套SRS参数所覆盖的频域包括该第二网络设备可为该第一网络设备进行短TTI传输所调度的PUSCH所覆盖的频域;
在S230中,SRS根据S210中所确定的第一SRS参数进行发送。
这样,由于S230中发送的DMRS的频域为该时间单位上调度的PUSCH的频域的部分或全部,从而SRS的频域资源和该DMRS的频域资源有重叠。
S230中,该时间单位对应的时域资源上调度有PUSCH,该时间单位对应的时域资源上有第二网络设备配置的SRS发送。
在S230之前,还可以包括:
S220,该第一网络设备确定发送该DMRS和频域资源与该DMRS有重叠的SRS的该时间单位。
本发明实施例提供的通信方法,第一网络设备在时间单位上既发送DMRS又发送SRS,且DMRS的频域资源和SRS的频域资源重叠,使得第二网络设备可以根据该时间单位上的DMRS和SRS,对该时间单位进行信道估计,并且可以实现该时间单位上的频偏估计。应用于短TTI的场景时,可以实现短TTI情况下的频偏估计。
下面以该时间单位为短TTI为例进行描述。
具体而言,以第一网络设备为UE,第二网络设备为基站为例,描述本发明实施例的方法200。要进行短TTI传输,即通过短TTI传输数据的UE确定第一SRS参数,其中,第一SRS参数为多套SRS参数中特定的一套。多套SRS参数所覆盖的频域包括该第二网络设备可为该第一网络设备进行短TTI传输所调度的PUSCH所覆盖的频域。该第一SRS参数用于UE在进行短TTI传输时,确定短TTI上发送SRS所使用的参数。第一SRS参数对应的频域资源,与基站为UE进行短TTI传输所调度的PUSCH的频域有重叠。这样,UE使用第一SRS参数在合适的短TTI上可以既发送SRS又发送DMRS,以便于基站根据SRS和DMRS对短TTI进行信道估计,尤其是进行频偏估计。
其中,第一SRS参数可以是系统(如基站)专门从用于传输的频域资源中预留的用于在短TTI上发送SRS的多套频域资源(多套SRS参数)中的 一套。系统在配置多套SRS参数时,可以根据基站为UE进行短TTI传输所调度的PUSCH所可能覆盖的频域来配置。系统配置多套SRS参数,使得多套SRS参数所覆盖的频域包括基站为UE进行短TTI传输所调度的PUSCH所可能覆盖的频域。这样无论基站为UE进行短TTI传输调度什么样的PUSCH,基站或UE都可以根据PUSCH的频域从多套SRS参数中选择一套SRS参数,使得发送SRS的频域和PUSCH的频域有重叠。
应理解,本发明实施例中,优选地,系统在设置用于进行短TTI传输的多个PUSCH的频域和多套SRS参数时,其中,应使多个PUSCH和多套SRS参数对应。例如,系统设置用于进行短TTI传输的两个PUSCH,每个PUSCH占用5个RB,两个PUSCH共占用连续10个RB;同时,系统(或基站)设置两套SRS参数,其中第一套SRS参数的频域起始位置可以是10个RB中前5个RB中的一个,第二套SRS参数的频域起始位置可以是10个RB中后5个RB中的一个。这样设置,基站为UE进行短TTI传输时调度第一个PUSCH时,UE可以使用第一套SRS参数发送SRS;基站为UE进行短TTI传输时调度第二个PUSCH时,UE可以使用第二套SRS参数发送SRS,使得UE的PUSCH的频域和UE发送SRS的频域有重叠,基站能够在一个短TTI上既接收到SRS又接收到DMRS,从而进行信道估计,尤其是进行频偏估计。
还应理解,本发明实施例中UE确定第一SRS参数可以根据基站向UE发送的指示,也可以由UE根据相关内容自行确定,这两种方案在下文的具体实施例中详细展开。
以上对S210进行详细地描述,在S210中可以确定发送SRS的频域资源,下面对S220进行详细地描述。
具体地,在S220中,该时间单位符合以下两个条件,第一个条件是该时间单位对应的时域资源上调度有PUSCH,第二个条件是该时间单位对应的时域资源上有基站配置的SRS发送。其中,有基站配置的SRS发送的时域资源,可以理解为上文中描述的SRS发送子帧的后一个时隙。符合第一个条件使得该时间单位上有DMRS发送,符合第二个条件使得该时间单位落在基站配置的SRS发送子帧上,在该时间单位上发送SRS时不会发送数据,从而避免了对数据的干扰。
可选,本发明实施例可以应用于短TTI的场景。则UE可以在确定在哪 个时间单位上发送DMRS和频域资源与该DMRS的频域资源有重叠的SRS前,可以先确定相应的时间单位是否是短TTI的场景中的,比如短TTI场景中的一个时隙。
示例的,现有的SRS发送的时隙为一个子帧的后一个时隙,由于每个时隙为0.5ms,对应一个0.5msTTI,那么在该时隙,如果有PUSCH调度,且有DMRS发送,那么该时隙发送SRS所使用的频域资源可以和PUSCH的频域资源有所重叠。具体的,发送SRS所使用的参数可以为预先配置好的多套SRS参数中的一套,多套SRS参数所覆盖的频域包括基站为UE进行短TTI传输所调度的PUSCH所可能覆盖的频域。这样,网络设备可以根据该TTI对应的时隙上的DMRS和SRS,对该TTI进行信道估计,以提高信道估计的质量,尤其是可以根据该TTI对应的时隙上的DMRS和SRS对TTI作出频偏估计。
应理解,本发明实施例中的信道估计和频偏估计可以采用现有技术中的常规手段,例如,通过计算占据相同子载波的SRS和DMRS信号之间的相位差,将相位差换算成频率偏移量,以进行系统的频偏估计。其具体过程,本发明实施例中不再进行赘述。
可选地,作为一个实施例,S210第一网络设备确定第一SRS参数,可以包括:
该第一网络设备接收该第二网络设备发送的第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示该第一SRS参数;
该第一网络设备根据该第一指示信息,确定该第一SRS参数。
具体而言,第一SRS参数可以由基站确定,并由基站通过第一指示信息通知给UE。基站可以为进行短TTI传输的UE从用于传输的频域资源中预留部分特定的频域资源,以用于SRS配置,供进行短TTI传输的UE发送SRS使用。该预留的特定的频域资源可以分为多套SRS参数。多套SRS参数对应的频域资源所覆盖的频域包括基站为进行短TTI传输的UE调度的PUSCH所覆盖的频域。这样,基站为特定的进行短TTI传输的UE调度的PUSCH时,总能够找到与PUSCH的频域位置有重叠的一套SRS参数。优选地,多套SRS参数所覆盖的频域可以覆盖系统的整个带宽。
基站为进行短TTI传输的UE配置的多套SRS参数与基站为进行非短TTI传输的UE配置的频域资源可以是不重叠的。因此,可以使得进行短TTI 传输的UE发送SRS的频域与进行非短TTI传输的UE发送SRS的频域完全不同而相互之间不会产生干扰。另外,基站可以为进行短TTI传输的不同的UE分配不同的SRS参数,从而使不同的UE发送的SRS也为相互不干扰的。另外,除了为各UE分配不同的SRS参数,基站还可以为不同的UE配置不同的时域资源,以支持更多的UE在发送SRS时相互不干扰。
可选地,在本发明实施例中,该第一网络设备接收该第二网络设备发送的第一指示信息,包括:
该第一网络设备接收该第二网络设备通过物理下行控制信道PDCCH发送的该第一指示信息,该PDCCH中还包括该第二网络设备为该第一网络设备进行短TTI传输所调度的PUSCH的信息。
具体而言,基站在确定为进行短TTI传输的UE调度的PUSCH后,可以根据为该UE调度的PUSCH的频域位置,确定相适应的第一SRS参数。通过同一个PDCCH同时发送指示该第一SRS参数的第一指示信息以及为该UE调度的PUSCH的信息。UE根据该PDCCH,确定发送PUSCH的时频资源,在发送PUSCH的时频资源上,会固定的在一些符号上发送DMRS。UE根据PDCCH上的第一SRS参数发送SRS,使得SRS的频域与PUSCH的频域至少有部分重叠。
应理解,可选地,在本发明实施例中,系统可以为多套SRS参数中的每套SRS参数编制索引,可以通过基站通知或者预配置的方式将,多套SRS参数及其索引的对应关系预先存储在UE中。在基站调度PUSCH对应的PDCCH中,可以将为该UE选定的SRS参数通过第一指示信息指示给UE。其中,第一指示信息可以是该SRS参数的索引,UE根据接收到的索引和多套SRS参数及其索引的对应关系,确定第一SRS参数。或者,UE中可以不存储多套SRS参数的相关内容,基站直接通过第一指示信息向UE指示第一SRS参数的具体内容。例如,第一SRS参数可以包括发送带宽、天线端口、循环移位、梳齿和频域起始位置等,本发明实施例对此不作限定。
可选地,作为一个实施例,S220第一网络设备确定发送该DMRS和频域资源与该DMRS有重叠的SRS的该时间单位,包括:
该第一网络设备根据该第二网络设备为该第一网络设备配置的进行短TTI传输时发送SRS的周期,或者该第一网络设备根据该第二网络设备发送的指示发送SRS的第二指示信息,确定该时间单位,并且该时间单位对应的 时域资源上调度有PUSCH,该时间单位对应的时域资源上有该第二网络设备配置的SRS发送。
具体而言,时间单位可以为短TTI。UE可以根据基站发送的指示发送SRS的第二指示信息确定发送SRS的TTI。其中,该第二指示信息可以隐式地指示发送SRS的TTI,例如UE在接收到该第二指示信息的TTI算起,在相隔一定数目的TTI发送SRS。该第二指示信息也可以显式地指示发送SRS的TTI,例如在第二指示信息中包括一个用于指示TTI的字段或标识,以便于UE在该TTI上发送SRS。应理解,该第二指示信息与上文中方法100的第一指示信息可以合并为一个指示信息,例如,可以将第一SRS参数和指示发送SRS的字段合并在一个指示信息中,或者仅发送第一SRS参数,由第一SRS参数隐式地指示发送SRS的TTI,本发明对具体的实现方式不作限定。
此外,UE还可以根据基站为UE配置的进行短TTI传输时发送SRS的周期来确定发送SRS的TTI。进行短TTI传输时发送SRS的周期可以理解为在进行短TTI传输的PUSCH上,每特定数目的TTI发送一次SRS,该特定数目的TTI即为发送SRS的周期。例如,每间隔2个TTI,确定一个TTI,即以3个TTI为周期,确定发送SRS的TTI。发送SRS的周期还可以理解为在进行短TTI传输的PUSCH上,当达到或超过预设的时间间隔阈值时发送一次SRS。例如,预设的时间间隔阈值为10ms,从发送上一个SRS之后开始计时,当到达10ms时,并且此时还存在PUSCH调度时,将此时可对应的TTI确定为发送SRS的TTI;当此时不存在PUSCH调度时,则等待下次PUSCH调度开始后,将超出10ms的第一个TTI确定为发送SRS的TTI。确定TTI的方式还可以有多种,本发明实施例不再一一赘述。
可选地,作为一个实施例,该SRS参数信息包括发送带宽、天线端口、循环移位、梳齿和频域起始位置。
举例说明,当系统带宽为
Figure PCTCN2015085145-appb-000004
时,进行短TTI传输的UE确定的SRS参数包括:SRS的发送带宽(可以为类似前文中表2中示出的配置),例如具体为发送带宽BSRS=0;频域起始位置为0;梳齿TransmissionComb=0;循环移位为cs0;等等,从而确定出该进行短TTI传输的UE发送SRS的具体的频域位置。通过SRS参数中的天线端口确定发送SRS使用的天线端口。当允许跳频时还可以通过例如跳频带宽为hbw0来进行跳频。应理解,以上 SRS参数的描述仅为举例而非对本发明实施例的限制。
因此,本发明实施例提供的通信方法,通过设置频域包括第一网络设备进行短TTI传输所调度的PUSCH所覆盖的频域的多套SRS参数,使得第一网络设备能够在短TTI上既发送DMRS又发送SRS,第二网络设备根据该短TTI上的DMRS和SRS,可以对短TTI进行信道估计,并且可以实现短TTI情况下的频偏估计。
以上实施例是网络设备指示进行短TTI传输的UE发送与UE的PUSCH的频域相适应的SRS。此外,还可以保持进行短TTI传输的UE的SRS的发送相对于现有技术不作改变,基站将为该UE调度的PUSCH的频域范围进行调整,以使得PUSCH的频域范围适应于SRS。即,对基站的调度进行限制,使得进行短TTI传输的UE的PUSCH的频域至少与该UE在本TTI内发送的SRS的频域有部分重叠。
图3示出了本发明另一个实施例的通信方法300的示意性流程图。该方法300可以包括:
S310,第一网络设备根据第二网络设备为该第一网络设备配置的发送解调参考信号DMRS的周期,或者第一网络设备根据该第二网络设备发送的第三指示信息,在第一时间单位上发送额外DMRS,其中,该第三指示信息用于指示该第一网络设备在该第一时间单位上发送额外的DMRS,该时间单位上存在有另一个DMRS。
可选地,该第一时间单位可以为第一TTI。其中,该第一TTI可以为短TTI。可选地,该短TTI可以为0.5ms,与一个时隙的长度相同。
可选地,该第一时间单位也可以为第一时隙。
可选地,该第一时间单位也可以为第一子帧。
可选地,本发明实施例可以应用于短TTI通信的场景。
本发明实施例提供的通信方法,第一网络设备根据第二网络设备发送的指示信息或按照周期,在特定的时间单位上发送额外的DMRS,以便于基站根据该时间单位上固定的DMRS和该额外的DMRS,对该时间单位进行信道估计,实现该时间单位的频偏估计。当应用于短TTI的场景时,可以实现短TTI情况下的频偏估计。
下面以时间单位为短TTI为例进行描述。
具体而言,对于采用短TTI(例如,0.5ms TTI)进行PUSCH传输的UE, 现有技术中一个TTI中只有一个固定的DMRS,单个DMRS信道估计的效果较差,并且无法实现频偏估计。而本发明实施例中,UE根据基站为该UE配置的TTI周期或者基站发送的第三指示信息,确定用于发送两个DMRS(即用于发送额外DMRS)的短TTI。因此,该UE在该特定的第一TTI上,发送两个DMRS,以便于基站根据该两个DMRS,对该第一TTI进行信道估计,尤其是进行频偏估计。其中,该UE在可以该第一TTI的第一符号上发送额外DMRS,即第一DMRS;在该第一TTI的第二符号上发送固定的DMRS,即第二DMRS。
通常,现有技术中固定的DMRS,即第二DMRS在0.5ms TTI对应的时隙的第四个符号(中间的符号)上发送。本发明实施例的额外DMRS,即第一DMRS可以在除第四个符号以外的其它任一个符号上发送。优选地,额外DMRS,即第一DMRS可以在第一TTI对应的时隙的最后一个符号上发送。
基站为UE配置进行短TTI传输时发送额外DMRS的TTI周期的具体实现方式,可以与上文中描述的方法200中基站为UE设备配置发送SRS的周期的具体实现方式在逻辑上相类似,此处不再赘述。
本发明实施例中根据两个参考信号进行频偏估计的具体实现可以参照现有的一些常规方法。例如,通过计算两个占据相同子载波的DMRS信号之间的相位差,将相位差换算成频率偏移量,以进行系统的频偏估计。
可选地,在本发明实施例中,该第三指示信息可以是该第一网络设备通过物理下行控制信道PDCCH从该第二网络设备接收的,该PDCCH中还可以包括该第二网络设备为该第一网络设备所调度的PUSCH的信息。
具体而言,基站在确定为进行短TTI传输的UE调度的PUSCH后,可以通过同一个PDCCH发送该第三指示信息以及为该UE调度的PUSCH的信息。其中,第三指示信息可以承载于下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)中,例如,通过DCI中的一个或几个比特位来携带第三指示信息。另外,基站还可以通过高层信令向UE发送第三指示信息。该第三指示信息可以指示UE在某个特定的TTI上发送额外DMRS,也可以是通知UE发送额外DMRS的发送频度,如每调度UE两个TTI的上行传输,UE需要在其中一个TTI发送两个DMRS,本发明实施例对第三指示信息的具体形式不作限定。
在一个具体的例子中,UE可以根据基站为其配置的周期发送两个DMRS,即发送额外的DMRS。例如,规定当满足超过连续N个TTI没有调度UE的上行传输时,UE的上行调度的TTI需要发送一次额外DMRS。
应理解,本发明实施例可以不对第一TTI对应的时域资源上是否有基站配置的SRS发送进行限制。
优选地,该第一TTI对应的时域资源上没有该第二网络设备配置的探测参考信号SRS发送。换而言之,以现有的子帧和时隙的划分方式。该第一TTI对应的时隙为子帧的前一个时隙或非探测参考信号SRS发送子帧的后一个时隙。
如图4所示,在方法300的一个具体的例子方法400中,方法400包括:
S410,第一网络设备根据第二网络设备为该第一网络设备配置的发送额外解调参考信号DMRS的周期,或者第一网络设备根据该第二网络设备发送的第三指示信息,在第一时间单位上发送额外DMRS,其中,该第一时间单位对应的时域资源上没有该第二网络设备配置的探测参考信号SRS发送,该第三指示信息用于指示该第一网络设备在该第一时间单位上发送额外DMRS,该第一时间单位上存在有另一个DMRS;
方法400还可以包括:
S440,该第一网络设备在该第二时间单位上发送DMRS和SRS,其中,该SRS的频域资源和该DMRS的频域资源有重叠。
其中,该第二时间单位对应的时域资源上调度有物理上行共享信道PUSCH,该PUSCH上发送有该DMRS,该第二时间单位对应的时域资源上有第二网络设备配置的SRS发送。
可选地,在S440第一网络设备在第二时间单位上发送DMRS和SRS之前,所述方法400还可以包括:
S420,该第一网络设备确定第一SRS参数,其中,该第一SRS参数用于表示该第一网络设备在第二时间单位上发送SRS的频域资源,该第一SRS参数为多套SRS参数中的一套,该多套SRS参数所覆盖的频域包括该第二网络设备可为该第一网络设备所调度的PUSCH所覆盖的频域。
可选地,在S440第一网络设备在第二时间单位上发送DMRS和SRS之前,所述方法400还可以包括:
S430,该第一网络设备确定发送DMRS和频域资源与该DMRS有重叠 的SRS的该第二时间单位。
可选地,第二时间单位为一个TTI。可选地,TTI为短TTI。可选地,TTI的值为0.5ms。
可选地,第二时间单位为一个时隙。
可选地,第二时间单位为一个子帧。
具体而言,现有技术中,对于基站为UE调度的子帧而言,子帧(包括非小区配置的SRS发送子帧和小区配置的SRS发送子帧)的前一个时隙中会发送一个DMRS,以便于基站根据DMRS进行数据解调。在非小区配置的SRS发送子帧中,后一个时隙中也仅发送一个DMRS。本发明实施例的方法400,在上述时隙(第一时间单位)中再发送一个额外DMRS,以便于基站根据一个时间单位中的两个DMRS进行频偏估计。
对于时域资源上有基站配置的SRS发送的第二时间单位,即小区配置的SRS发送子帧的后一个时隙而言,现有技术中,小区中的UE可以在该时隙的最后一个符号发送SRS。然而,对于任一个UE而言,调度的PUSCH所在的频域与SRS发送的频域可能并没有重叠,即在PUSCH所在的频域的时隙上没有SRS发送。本发明实施例的方法400,当该第二时间单位对应的时域资源上调度有PUSCH时,在第二时间单位上发送SRS。这样,UE在第二时间单位的最后一个符号上发送SRS,UE还可以在第二时间单位的第四个符号上发送固定的DMRS。由此,基站可以根据该第二时间单位的符号上的DMRS和SRS,对该第二时间单位进行信道估计,尤其是进行频偏估计。
可选地,在本发明实施例中,S420第一网络设备确定第一SRS参数,包括:
该第一网络设备接收该第二网络设备发送的第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示该第一SRS参数;
该第一网络设备根据该第一指示信息,确定该第一SRS参数。
可选地,在本发明实施例中,该第一网络设备接收该第二网络设备发送的第一指示信息,包括:
该第一网络设备接收该第二网络设备通过物理下行控制信道PDCCH发送的该第一指示信息,该PDCCH中还包括该第二网络设备为该第一网络设备所调度的PUSCH的信息。
可选地,在本发明实施例中,该第一网络设备中配置有该多套SRS参数,
S420第一网络设备确定第一SRS参数,包括:
该第一网络设备根据该第二网络设备为该第一网络设备所调度的PUSCH的频域,从该多套SRS参数中选择该第一SRS参数。
可选地,在本发明实施例中,S430第一网络设备确定发送DMRS和频域资源与该DMRS有重叠的SRS的该第二时间单位,包括:
该第一网络设备根据该第二网络设备为该第一网络设备配置的发送SRS的周期,或者该第一网络设备根据该第二网络设备发送的指示发送SRS的第二指示信息,确定该第二时间单位,并且该第二时间单位对应的时域资源上调度有PUSCH,该第二时间单位对应的时域资源上有该第二网络设备配置的SRS发送。
可选地,在本发明实施例中,该第一SRS参数包括发送带宽、天线端口、循环移位、梳齿和频域起始位置。
应理解,本发明实施例的方法400的具体实现方式与方法200和方法300的具体实现方式相对应,在此不再赘述。

可选地,该时间单位为一个子帧。
可选地,该时间单位对应的时域资源上调度有物理上行共享信道PUSCH,该PUSCH上发送有DMRS,该时间单位对应的时域资源上有该第二网络设备配置的SRS发送。
