If the initial CCA detection channel is idle, or the frozen N is decremented to 0, the channel is considered to be usable. If the channel idle is detected on the corresponding Muting pattern, optionally, whether the detected energy on the resource other than the Muting pattern or the entire bandwidth satisfies the CCA detection threshold requirement, and if satisfied, the multiplexed base station may stop the LBT.

- the frequency domain recommendation on the data transmission period (eg, when transmitting PDSCH, or PUSCH, or DRS) is the RE Muting granularity.
- Muting's RE can be configured to occupy 4%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60% of an RB. , 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 100% or, Muting's RE occupies n/12 in an RB, and n is the number of [1, 12].

- w is the number of RBs or RBGs corresponding to the bandwidth.
- Muting's subbands can also be configured to take up the above percentage of the entire bandwidth.
- the resources of Muting in the time domain are also the same.
- the transmission device may be a base station or a user equipment UE.
- This embodiment mainly focuses on multiplexing of DRS signals transmitted by the base station side.
- the base station under the same carrier can be configured with the same Muting pattern for performing CCA detection, or a mutually orthogonal Muting pattern can be configured between different base stations.
- the DMTC window size of the base station transmitting the DRS signal is 40 ms or 50 ms, and the base station has the opportunity to transmit the DRS X times in the corresponding DMTC window.
- the preferred configuration of X is 5 or 6.
- the X-time transmission opportunity utilization is a continuous Xms time period, or a discrete X-time opportunity, and each DRS transmission takes 1 ms time. For example, for a continuous 5 ms (equivalent to 5 subframes) time, each transmission of the DRS signal occupies only the first 12 OFDM symbols in one subframe, and the last two subframes are used to transmit the LBT process of the DRS.
- the last two OFDM symbols may also send a reserved signal, or occupy a signal, and the reserved signal or the time when the occupied signal is transmitted for a maximum duration of 2 OFDM symbols. That is, the base station can perform the LBT process on the last 2 OFDM of the 5 subframes. If the LBT process is successful in the last 2 OFDM symbol times of the previous subframe of the first subframe, the base station can The DRS signal is transmitted on the first subframe. On the other hand, if the LBT process fails, the DRS signal cannot be transmitted on the first subframe, and the base station continues to perform the LBT process on the last 2 OFDM symbols in the first subframe. If successful, the second subframe is succeeded. Send a DRS.
- the base station fails to perform LBT on 5 consecutive subframes, the DRS signal cannot be transmitted in this DMTC.
- the DRS LBT corresponding to the 5 subframes succeeds once, the DRS can be sent on the corresponding subframe. signal.
- the base station can perform the LBT process on the last two OFDM symbols on the X discrete subframes in the DMTC time. If the LBT is successfully executed any time, the DRS signal can be transmitted, occupying the first 12 OFDM symbols in one subframe.
- the multiplexing process when transmitting DRS signals between base stations is mainly described. Assuming that there are two base stations A and B, the base station A performs an LBT process of transmitting a DRS at a corresponding position where the LBT is performed, wherein: the position at which the LBT process is performed is an LBT process performed on the last two OFDM symbols in the subframe. The base station B also performs an LBT process of transmitting the DRS corresponding to the corresponding LBT position within the possible transmission of the DRS signal or the window.
- the Muting pattern used by the base stations A and B in performing the contention access access LBT process of the channel and determining whether the channel is available is the same as the rule in the foregoing embodiment.
- the Muting patterns configured by the base stations A and B may be the same, or may be mutually orthogonal patterns in the frequency domain.
- the same Muting pattern configured by base stations A and B is taken as an example:
- the base station A detects the channel idle on the corresponding Muting pattern when the channel A is competing for access, the base station A considers that the right to use the channel is acquired, so that the DRS can be transmitted. If the time when the base station A successfully completes the LBT procedure does not reach the subframe boundary of the DRS, the base station A needs to transmit a reserved signal or an initial signal.
- the reserved signal or the initial signal sent by the base station A is a reserved signal with a certain Muting resource, and is not sent by the full bandwidth.
- Muting resources (RB level or RE level or RBG level or sub-band level) are used by the base station to be multiplexed to perform CCA detection on the resource.
- the resource of Muting is preferably a pattern of Muting RE, which is a Muting pattern on a resource other than the frequency domain resource used for transmitting the CRS on the symbol for transmitting the CRS (Muting's pattern cannot be Muting off the resource for transmitting the CRS)
- the Muting pattern needs to mutate the base station for CCA detection and determine whether the channel is available on the resources transmitting the PSS and SSS on the resources other than the PSS and SSS resources.
- Muting specific patterns are also required on the spare symbols during the transmission of the DRS.
- the pattern referred to in the present invention for the frequency domain pattern during the PDSCH is also suitable for transmitting DRS.
- the difference is that the pattern with Muting needs to avoid the location of sending CRS, PSS/SSS.
- the base station B and the base station A are configured with the same pattern (or the Muting pattern configured by the base station A is the DRS LBT detection pattern of the base station B). Therefore, the base station B performs detection on the Muting pattern to obtain whether the channel is idle, thereby determining whether it can be recovered. Base station A contends to the channel for DRS transmission.
- the base station B may only detect whether the resource on the corresponding Muting pattern is idle, or may comprehensively determine whether the channel can be multiplexed by using resources other than the Muting pattern and resources other than the Muting pattern. For the former, if the base station B detects that the energy is less than the preset threshold value on the corresponding Muting pattern, and considers that the channel is available, it can transmit its own DRS. For the latter, if the energy detected by the base station B on the corresponding Muting resource is less than the preset threshold, it is considered that the system is different, or is the reserved pattern of the device in the same system under the operator, or , think the channel is idle.
- the CCA detection threshold may be adjusted to improve the probability that the transmission device of the same system in the same carrier accesses the channel.
- the base station B detects whether the energy on the resource outside the Muting resource meets the preset CCA threshold or the adjusted CCA threshold. If the energy is less than the preset CCA threshold, the entire channel is considered to be idle. Alternatively, if the energy is greater than the preset CCA threshold and less than the adjusted CCA threshold, it is considered that the same system transmission device occupies the channel or considers that the channel is available, and multiplexing can be implemented.
- the base station B capable of identifying the interference source can transmit its own DRS signal.
- the duration of the CCA detection is at least the defer period+N*slot time, the defer period duration can be configured as 16 us+n slots, the slot duration is 9 us, and n is greater than or equal to A value of 1, N is a fixed value or a random value greater than or equal to zero. If the time when the detection channel is continuously idle is the duration of the CCA detection, the channel is considered to be idle, and the DRS can be transmitted.
- the defer period+N*slot time does not exceed the time of two OFDM symbols, and the start time of the LBT process in which the base station transmits the DRS is the second to last OFDM symbol start position of the previous subframe, or the previous subframe A random time in the range of two OFDM symbols after the countdown, but it is necessary to ensure that the defer period+N*slot time from the start time of the LBT does not exceed the end time of the two OFDM symbols after the reciprocal of the previous subframe.
- the above processing method is also applicable to the case where multiple base stations are multiplexed.
- Muting patterns are configured, wherein the Muting patterns of different base stations are orthogonal to each other.
- Each base station performs CCA detection on the corresponding Muting pattern. If it is detected that the energy on the corresponding Muting pattern satisfies the preset threshold, the channel is considered to be available, so that the respective DRSs can also be transmitted.
- Different patterns of different base stations or UE configurations are also applicable to PDSCH and PUSCH transmission.
- the base station side that is, different base stations are configured with different patterns, and the patterns are orthogonal to each other, and each base station performs CCA detection on the respective patterns, and if the detection channel is idle, the channel is considered to be available.
- the reserved signal or the initial signal needs to be sent, and the corresponding reserved signal or the initial signal may be a full bandwidth transmission, or a resource reserved for the own pattern, or only in its own pattern.
- the location sends a reserved signal or an initial signal.
- the data transmission and transmission PDSCH may also be full bandwidth transmission, or reserve a resource of its own pattern, or send data only on the resources of its own pattern.

Abstract

Description
本发明涉及通信领域,具体而言,涉及一种信道干净评估检测方法和装置。
随着数据业务的快速增长,授权频谱的载波上承受的数据传输压力也越来越大,因此,通过非授权频谱的载波来分担授权载波中的数据流量成为后续长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)发展的一个重要的演进方向。
非授权频谱具有的特征是:非授权频谱不需要购买,频谱资源零成本,具有免费或者低费用的特征;个人、企业都可以参与部署,设备商的设备可以任意部署,具有准入要求低,成本低的特征;非授权频谱中的5GHz、2.4GHz等频段都可以使用,具有可用带宽大的特征;非授权载波具有共享资源的特征,即多个不同系统都在其中运营时或者同一系统的不同运营商在其中运营时,可以考虑一些共享资源的方式提高频谱利用效率,等等。
基于非授权频谱的上述特征,LTE系统的Rel-13版本于2014年9月份开始立项研究,其中一项重要的研究议题就是LTE系统使用非授权频谱的载波工作。这项技术将使得LTE系统能够使用目前存在的非授权频谱的载波,大大提升LTE系统的潜在频谱资源,使得LTE系统能够获得更低的频谱成本。
基于上述LTE使用非授权载波资源带来的各种益处,授权辅助接入(Licensed-Assisted Access,简称为LAA)系统使用非授权载波时需要考虑与其他技术(如,无线保真(WIreless-Fidelity,简称为Wi-Fi))的公平共存。此外,对于非授权频谱的接入,一些地区的管制要求执行先听后说(Listen Before Talk,简称为LBT)机制,因此,LAA设备,如演进型基站(evolved Node B,简称为eNB)和/或用户设备(User Equipment,简称为UE)需要遵守LBT要求,从而达到与Wi-Fi系统的友好共存。
在Rel-13RAN1#Ad-hoc会议中关于频率重用达成共识,即同运营商下的相邻LAA小区的传输能够实现频率重用将是LAA设计的一个目标,需要考虑LBT的设计。而对于终端侧,同小区下的终端或同运营商下的终端也需要考虑复用问题,同样,也需要考虑相应的LBT检测时频域图样的设计,从而实现或是提高复用效率。
而在Rel-13RAN1#80bis次会议中,对于基站侧,LBE(Load-based equipment,基于负载的装置)方式下LBT机制被用于信道的竞争接入时,可提高下行传输复用效率的候选方法包括:信道干净评估(Clear Channel Assessment,简称为CCA)门限自适应(CCA threshold adaptation);传输开始时刻对齐(Tx start timing alignment);信号消减(Signal subtraction from ED or modified ED);混合选项或其他选项(Combination of those options or other alternatives are not precluded)。基于第82次会议之前的各次会议的讨论上述几种方法的优缺点,最终达成的
共识:通过CCA门限自适应和传输开始时刻对齐的方式来提高基站侧的频率复用。基于此,对于CCA门限自适应方法,LAA设备需要识别在非授权载波上感知到的信号是来自于其他LAA设备或其他系统设备,从而调整(调大或者调小)CCA检测门限来实现同运营商下的设备复用。而对于传输开始时刻对齐方法,为了实现同运营商中的不同LAA设备能够对齐传输时刻点,引入了自延迟,和/或,LBT过程协调(协调参数包括至少之一:随机回退值N、扩展干净信道评估(Extended Clear Channel Assessment,简称为ECCA)开始时刻位置、开始传输时刻),但其会导致信道接入概率降低从而不能实现很好的复用。
针对相关技术中在CCA检测时不能识别干扰源问题,从而导致复用效率低和带来的非授权载波接入概率低的问题,目前尚未提出有效的解决方案。

为了使本发明实施例的描述更加清楚,下面结合可选实施例进行描述和说明。
本发明可选实施例提供了一种干净信道评估图样设计方法及装置。需要说明的是,在本发明可选实施例中提到的设备可以是基站或者是用户设备(如终端)。在特定的Muting RE图样或特定的Muting PRB图样上进行CCA检测,其中,相同的运营商采用相同的Muting RE图样或Muting PRB图样进行CCA检测,不同运营商之间采用不同的Muting RE图样或Muting PRB图样进行CCA检测。此外,同运营商下同系统中不同设备(组)之间可采用不同的Muting RE图样或Muting PRB图样,也可以采用相同的Muting RE图样或Muting PRB图样。
本发明的一个可选实施例提供了下述一种干净信道评估图样设计方法。
在整个带宽上检测到的能量小于门限A的情况下,确定信道空闲,例如,对于LAA系统与Wi-Fi(或LAA)系统共存的场景下,检测门限A设置为-62dBm,或者,可以是在-62dBm基础上偏移一个正负[0,10]或者[0,M]之间的值,其中M是一个正整数,在此种情况下,在整个带宽上检测到的能量是来自于LAA系统和Wi-Fi系统的能量累加,无法区别能量来自于哪个系统。而通过设置特定的LAA系统Muting图样的方法则可以通过在对应Muting RE图样或Muting PRB图样上检测接收到的能量来判断其能量是否来自于异系统,例如,Wi-Fi系统。其中,将在特定的Muting RE图样或Muting PRB图样上检测到的能量,与门限值B进行比较,如果大于门限值B,则认为信道不可用,可能信道正在被其他系统中的节点占用。
在整个带宽上检测到的能量小于门限值B的情况下,确定对应的Muting RE图样或Muting PRB图样上的信道空闲,或者,认为在对应Muting RE图样或Muting PRB图样上检测到的能量是来自于异系统的,则适当的调整CCA检测门限(例如,降低当前CCA检测门限)实现复用;或者,在Muting RE图样或Muting PRB图样补集的资源上检测到能量,与门限值C进行比较,此时,Muting RE图样或Muting PRB图样补集的资源上检测到能量是来自与LAA系统和/或异系统(Wi-Fi系统)的能量累加。如果能量累加值小于门限C,确定信道可用。反之,能量累加值大于门限C,确定信道被占用,或不可用。
其中,门限A,B,C可以设置为不同的值,也可以设置为相同的值,例如,对于门限值B,可以为-70dBm,或者,门限A,B,C可设置为-62dBm加上一个正的或负的[0,10]或者[0,M]之间的正整数值后的值,M为正整数。
对于复用的LAA设备,在对应的Muting RE图样或Muting PRB图样上检测到信道空闲,则认为信道可用。此时,在不考虑异系统的情况下,则LAA设备在对应的Muting RE图样或
Muting PRB图样上检测到的能量为一个接近为零;在考虑异系统的情况下,则需要按照上述的门限B的方法来确定信道是否空闲。可选地,按照上述门限值C来判断在与Muting RE图样或Muting PRB图样互补的资源上的能量是否满足要求,从而确定是否同系统的节点正在使用该信道,从而确定信道是否可以复用。
本发明可选实施例阐述了Muting图样的设计,所述的Muting图样可以应用到在信道的非占用期,发送预留信号或初始信号期,数据传输期。传输设备在对应Muting图样上不进行信息发送或是进行零功率发送,其他传输设备可以在Muting的图样上进行检测,用于识别干扰源(干扰源来自于其他LAA节点或是异系统,可选地,需要确定接收到的信号是来自于运营商内的LAA节点或异运营商中的LAA节点或是异系统中的节点),此外,可以在Muting图样以外的资源或整个带宽上进行检测,为了获知是否可以实现复用。其中,Muting图样可以是Muting RE级的图样或Muting PRB级的或Muting RBG级的或Muting子带级的图样。下面对可选实施例针对Muting图样进行说明和描述。其中,传输设备也可以是传输设备组,可选地,传输设备或传输设备组可以是基站设备或用户设备UE。
可选实施例一
本可选实施例主要阐述传输设备在不同阶段时进行信道空闲检测时的CCA检测图样,以及待复用的传输设备如何识别干扰源是来自与同运营商中的传输设备还是异运营商中的传输设备,或者,干扰源是来自于同运营商下的同系统中的传输设备或是异系统中的节点。此外,在对应的Muting资源上检测到的能量满足预设CCA门限,可选地,可以调整CCA检测门限,有利于同系统中传输设备更容易接入到非授权载波上。可选地,传输设备在对应Muting资源以外的资源上或整个带宽上检测到的能量在特定的CCA检测门限区间内,则传输设备认为获取到信道的使用权,或,传输设备通过在CCA检测图样进行能量判断,识别了干扰源来自于本系统还是异系统,从而提升复用效率。其中:不同阶段包括非占用信道之前的信道竞争接入阶段,竞争信道成功且未到开始传输时刻的预留信号或初始信号阶段,数据传输阶段。
对于不同的运营商,配置不同的CCA检测图样或Muting图样,其中:不同的CCA检测图样或Muting图样之间是频域上相互正交的。对于同运营商下同系统中LAA传输设备配置相同的CCA检测图样或Muting图样。通过在Muting资源上检测能量是否满足预设门限,从而确定是否存在异系统(如:Wi-Fi系统)。可选地,同系统中的不同LAA传输设备也可以配置不同的CCA检测图样。其中,在对应的CCA图样上进行能量检测之间,传输设备首先要接收整个带宽上的能量,然后在通过时频域变化获取频域上的图样,从而再在对应Muting资源上进行能量判断,以及在Muting资源以外的资源或是整个带宽上进行能量判断。这里假定复用的设备之间是同步的。
对于传输设备在非占用信道之前的信道竞争接入阶段,可标记为第一阶段CCA检测,传输设备可以按照下述之一的CCA检测图样执行信道的空闲检测:
设计1:传输设备在整个频域带宽上执行CCA检测。
如果传输设备在整个频域带宽上检测到的能量满足预设的CCA门限值,其评估检测的信
道为空闲,则传输设备认为信道可用。反之,如果在整个带宽上检测到的能量大于预设CCA门限,其评估检测的信道为忙,则传输设备认为信道被占用。
设计2:传输设备在整个频域带宽上的特定Muting的RE或Muting的RB上进行信道空闲评估CCA检测。如果传输设备在对应的Muting RE或RB上检测到的能量满足预设的CCA门限值1,则评估信道为空闲,或,评估信道上无异系统(如:Wi-Fi系统)存在。其中:预设CCA门限值1可配置为Q值,例如:Q值为-62dBm,或者,可设置为Q值加上一个正的或负的[0,20]或者[0,M]之间的正整数值后的值,M为正整数。可选地,当判断对应Muting RE或RB上的能量满足预设CCA门限1时,可调整(如:提升)CCA检测门限为CCA门限值2。即:预设CCA门限1为-62dBm,则提升为CCA门限值2,例如:-52dBm。目的是用于同系统中的传输设备更容易的接入非授权载波。可选地,在整个频域带宽上Muting RE或RB以外的资源上或整个带宽上进行CCA检测,如果评估的能量小于预设门限值1,则认为信道空闲,或,信道上没有设备正在使用。如果评估的能量大于预设CCA门限1,且小于CCA门限值2,则传输设备认为信道可用,或,传输设备认为该信道满足复用条件可以复用。其中,调整CCA检测门限可以按照预设偏移量Offset进行提升或降低。Offset偏移量可以是±1,±2,±3,±4,±5,±6,±7,±8,±9,±10,±11,±12,…±m,m为整数,即CCA门限2可通过预设CCA门限1+Offset偏移量来确定。反之,如果大于门限值2,则认为信道不可用,或者,不满足复用的条件,或者,信道正在被占用。
设计3:传输设备在整个带宽上Muting特定的RBG或者RBG块,在对应Muting的RBG或者RBG块上进行CCA检测,如果检测到信道空闲,则认为信道可用。(其中,在Muting的资源上以及整个带宽或是Muting资源以外的资源上的CCA检测方法同上)。反之,如果在对应的Muting RBG或者RBG块检测到信道不空闲,则认为信道不可用。其中,一个RBG中包含的RB数目与系统带宽有关,一个RBG块中包含的RBG数目可以预定义确定。Muting的特定RBG或者RBG块可以是整个频域带宽上等间隔的,或者,不等间隔的。例如:系统带宽为20MHz(等同于100个RB)对应一个RBG大小为4,即一个RBG中有4个RB,20MHz系统带宽中包含25个RBG。间隔可以是RBG为单位或是RB为单位。
设计4:传输设备在整个带宽上Muting特定的子带,在对应Muting的子带上进行CCA检测,如果检测到信道空闲,则认为信道可用。(其中,在Muting的资源上以及整个带宽或是Muting资源以外的资源上的CCA检测方法同上)。反之,如果检测到信道不空闲,则认为信道不可用。例如:系统带宽10MHz,子带带宽为5MHz,其传输设备可以在整个带宽上Muting上半子带,或下半子带,在对应的子带上执行CCA检测,如果检测到的能量满足对应的预设CCA门限值,则认为信道可用。反之,则认为信道不可用。例如:对于LAA与Wi-Fi系统共存场景,预设CCA门限可以设置为-62dBm。而对于LAA与LAA共存场景,则预设CCA门限可以设置为-62dBm或-52dBm。Wi-Fi与Wi-Fi系统共存场景,预设CCA门限可以设置为-82dBm。
其中,特定的Muting图样可为下述之一:将整个带宽划分为K个连续的PRB块或RE块或RBG块或K个子带,则整个带宽可以配置给K个传输设备,且每个传输设备配置的Muting
图样彼此正交,且它们均在各自的资源块(PRB块或RE块或RBG块或子带)上进行CCA检测;在整个带宽中由等间隔离散的Muting PRB或者PRB块或Muting RE或者RE块组成的图样上进行CCA检测。例如,假定有2个传输设备,每个PRB或者PRB块或者RE块中仅有一个PRB或RE,则PRB索引或RE索引为奇数的频域资源图样为两个设备中一个设备的CCA检测时对应的频域图样,为偶数索引号的PRB或RE组成的图样为另一个设备执行CCA检测时对应的频域图样;在整个带宽上由不等间隔的PRB(或PRB组)或RE(或RE组)组成的资源图样上执行CCA检测;在整个带宽上由等间隔或不等间隔的RBG或者RBG块组成的资源图样上执行CCA检测;在整个带宽上等间隔的或不等间隔的子带组成的资源图样上执行CCA检测。PRB或RE或RBG或子带资源上进行零功率发送。即Muting特定的PRB或RE或RBG或子带图样。用于传输设备在信道的竞争接入时确定信道是否可用,或者,用于提供复用的传输设备进行同运营商或异运营商或异系统的识别,从而确定是否可以复用。
对于传输设备在非占用信道之前的信道竞争接入阶段所采用的CCA检测图样或Muting图样的具体设计详见实施例二和后续的实施例。
此外,在传输设备成功完成先听后说LBT过程的时刻未到子帧边界的情况下,则需要发送预留信号或初始信号。其中,预留信号或初始信号可以在频域上全带宽发送,或者,在频域上按照特定Muting图样进行发送。时域上从LBT执行成功时刻直到传输时刻或者子帧边界开始之前发送预留信号。此外,Muting的图样可以是整个带宽中的连续的PRB(或者PRB块)或RE(或者RE块)组成的资源;或者,整个带宽中的有一定间隔的多个离散的特定PRB(或PRB组)或RE(或RE组)组成的资源。其中,PRB(或PRB组)或RE(或RE组)之间的间隔可以相同或是不同,和/或,每个PRB组或RE组中包含的PRB或RE数目可以相同或是不同;或者,整个带宽中的特定的连续RBG(或者RBG块)组成的资源;或者,整个带宽中的有一定间隔的多个离散的特定RBG(或者RBG块)组成的资源图样;或者,整个带宽中的特定子带组成的资源。其预留信号或初始信号图样是由Muting图样和Muting图样补集组成的。图样可以是RE或RB或RBG或子带级别的。其中:子带可以为包含若干个RB、RE或RBG的资源。预留信号或初始信号期采用的图样可以与非占用信道之前的信道竞争接入阶段的CCA检测图样或Muting图样相同或是不同。此外,待复用的传输设备或继续执行LBT过程的传输设备在已成功完成LBT过程的传输设备发送预留信号或初始信号阶段,继续进行CCA检测的判断信道是否可用或可用复用的准则同上。
传输设备发送预留信号或初始信号(带图样的预留信号或初始信号)的目的,一方面在于占住信道,以免被其他传输设备抢走;另一方面在于同运营商下的传输设备可以识别该信道是否可用或复用,或者,该信道正在被同运营商下的设备占用,从同系统复用角度可认为信道是空闲;此外,可用于提供系统同步或发送特定的参考信号,如:PSS/SSS,CRS,SRS等。
例如,如果按照同运营商中传输设备的预留信号图样进行对应频域上的CCA检测,认为信道可用的方式为:设备(或复用的设备)可以通过解析对应预留信号资源上的信息,判断是否为同运营商中的设备或者同小区中的UE占用了信道。如果能正确解析接收到的信息,则
认为信道可用。或者,接收整个带宽上的能量,并进行时频域变化后获取到频域图样,可选地,传输设备(或复用的设备)在预留信号或初始信号上对应的Muting资源或零功率资源进行信道的空闲检测,如果检测到的能量满足预设的CCA门限值,则认为对应资源上无异运营商传输设备或是无异系统传输设备存在。可选的,在对应Muting资源上或是零功率资源上检测到能量满足预设门限值,则可调整CCA检测门限。其中:调整后的CCA门限使用在时域一个时隙(slot)时间或一个OFDM符号时间或一个子帧时间或一个传输burst时间。可选地,传输设备在Muting图样补集或零功率发送资源补集上进行CCA检测,或者,在整个带宽上进行CCA检测,此时的CCA门限可以采用调整后的CCA门限,或采用预设的CCA检测门限,如果检测到的能量小于调整后的CCA门限且大于预设门限值,则传输设备认为信道可用,或可复用。而当在整个带宽或Muting图样补集或零功率发送资源补集上进行CCA检测小于预设门限,则传输设备认为信号是空闲的。如果在整个带宽或Muting图样补集或零功率发送资源补集上进行CCA检测能量大于预设门限,且也大于可复用的CCA检测门限,则认为信道不可用,或传输设备不可复用当前检测信道。预设CCA门限值可配置为-62dBm,或者,可设置为-62dBm值加上一个正的或负的[0,20]或者[0,M]之间的正整数值后的值,M为正整数,如-70dBm。可选地,当判断到对应Muting RE或RB或RBG或子带上的能量满足预设门限时,则提升CCA检测门限为门限值为-52dBm。调整CCA检测门限可以按照预设偏移量Offset进行提升或降低。Offset偏移量可以是±1,±2,±3,±4,±5,±6,±7,±8,±9,±10,±11,±12,…±m,m为整数。例如:提升后的CCA门限可以是-52dBm+Offset值。
对于传输设备在预留信号或初始信号期所采用的CCA检测图样或Muting图样的具体设计可参见实施例二和后续的实施例。预留信号或初始信号阶段和非占用信道之前的信道竞争接入阶段采用的CCA检测图样或Muting图样可以是RE级或RB级或RBG级或子带级,优选地,配置为RB或RBG或子带级,次选地,配置为RE级图样。时域上可以是连续的资源(块)。但也不限于此。
当下行支持部分子帧(部分子帧位于子帧的最后或最开始)或是浮动(floating)传输时间间隔(Transmission Time Interval,简称为TTI)时,基站一旦完成LBT过程,即可进行数据传输或发送预留信号直到子帧边界开始进行数据传输。。为了提高下行复用效率,在数据传输期增加CCA检测机会,用于同运营商下的基站可以通过数据传输期Muting的时频域图样来进行识别信道正在被同运营商下的基站或是异运营商中的基站或是异系统中的节点占用。通过不同运营商或异运营商中基站间采用不同的时和/或频域数据传输期CCA检测图样来确定是否目前信道可用。同系统的基站采用相同的CCA检测图样,从而在数据传输期对应的特定时域位置上的特定频域资源进行CCA检测,判断信道是否可用或可用复用的准则同上,或,判断是否存在异系统,或是否被占用准则也同上。其中,对于下行采用的LBT Cat4机制,且竞争窗比较大,假如一个基站已经成功占用信道开始进行传输,则未完成LBT Cat4过程或正在执行LBT过程的基站在对应的特定时域位置上的特定频域资源上进行CCA检测,如果基站在CCA检测图样或Muting图样对应的资源上检测到的能量满足第一CCA门限,而在对应的CCA检测图样或Muting图样补集对应的资源上检测到的能量满足大于第一门限值且小于第二门限值的条件,对于执行有随机回退的LBT过程的传输设备可以停止当前的LBT过程,根据
Muting图样的时域时间长度重新配置随机回退值N,或者,立刻执行LBT Cat2机制,或者,继续执行当前的LBT过程。其中,新配置的随机回退值N满足在该Muting图样时域结束的时刻点之前能够递减到0。
对于UE侧,如果完成LBT过程的时刻恰好到子帧边界或在对应的开始传输的时刻,则UE开始进行数据传输。为了实现或提高上行的多用户复用,在数据传输期内增加了一定的CCA检测机会。实现复用或是识别是否为同小区中的UE或是同运营商中的UE正在使用物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,简称为PUSCH)资源,可在数据传输期中的特定的时域资源位置上按照特定的Muting RE或PRB或RBG或子带图样进行CCA检测。或者是将在数据传输期中的特定的时域资源位置上Muting整个带宽上的资源用于待复用的用户设备或正在进行CCA检测的用户设备或准备进行CCA检测的用户设备进行CCA检测。其中,特定的时域资源可以是整个数据传输期,或者,离散的K个OFDM符号(块),或者,离散的K个时间段。时间段是周期的出现或是非周期的出现,即时域时间段是等间隔的或是不等间隔。每个时间段或OFDM符号块的长度可以相同或是不同。
对于传输设备在数据传输期所采用的CCA检测图样的具体设计可参见实施例二和后续的实施例。与非占用信道之前的信道竞争接入阶段,预留信号或初始信号节点不同之处在于,传输burst中或是在传输的子帧中Muting一个或多个特定的时域资源。优选地,每个子帧中的前面或中间或最后一个或两个OFDM符号上特定频域资源进行Muting或零功率发送。或者,在子帧的前半子帧或后半子帧,或子帧的中间,或在子帧中的每个时隙中的特定OFDM符号,或,间隔一定子帧或是一定符号或一定的时间的Muting图样。
数据传输期的频域图样可以与预留信号或初始信号期采用的图样,非占用信道之前的信道竞争接入阶段的CCA检测图样或Muting图样相同或是不同。数据传输期的CCA检测图样或Muting图样优选地为Muting RE级别的图样。

可选实施例二
本可选实施例主要侧重于频域上以每个PRB上Muting特定的RE组成的频域图样,时域上Muting特定的连续k个OFDM符号的时域图样,由不同的时频域Muting位置构成不同的CCA检测时频域图样。其中,时域图样与传输burst长度或子帧数目有关。
由参数:频域起始物理资源块PRB的索引号,频域上每个PRB中的起始资源粒子RE的索引号,频域上连续的RE的数目,频域上一个RE(块)与下一个RE(块)之间包含的RE数目构成频域上的检测图样。时域上图样为起始的子帧索引号,起始子帧中的起始OFDM符号索引,连续OFDM符号数构成时域连续的图样。
图3是根据本发明可选实施例的信道干净评估检测图样的示意图一,如图3所示的是:频域起始物理资源块PRB的索引号为PRB#0,每个PRB中的起始资源粒子RE的索引号为RE#3,频域上连续的RE的数目为1,频域上一个RE与下一个RE之间包含的RE或RB数目分别为11个RE。时域上是连续K个OFDM符号,例如:子帧subframe#0中OFDM#12开始,连续2个OFDM符号。或,从OFDM#13开始,连续一个OFDM符号。由此构成一个CCA检测的时频域图样。即,由上述参数组成Muting区域或零功率发送区域。用于同运营商中的设备进行图样识别,从而确定是否同运营商中的设备正在使用设备或是可以获取到该载波的使用权或可用实现复用。即传输设备在接收整个带宽上的能量,并进行时频域变化后获取到频域图样,可选地,传输设备(或复用的设备)在整个带宽上每个PRB中的RE#3上进行信道的空闲检测,如果检测到的能量满足预设的CCA门限值,如:-62dBm,则认为对应资源上无异系统传输设备存在。可选的,在对应Muting资源上或是零功率资源上(即每个PRB中的RE#3)检测到能量满足预设门限值,则可调整CCA检测门限,如:-52dBm。可选地,传输设备在Muting图样补集或零功率发送资源补集上进行CCA检测,或者,在整个带宽上进行CCA检测,此时的CCA门限可以采用调整后的CCA门限,或采用预设的CCA检测门限,如果检测到的能量小于调整后的CCA门限且大于预设门限值,则传输设备认为信道可用,或可复用。一旦传输设备占用信道后,必须在Muting图样以外的资源上发送信息,占住信道。
对于基站侧,按照LBT Cat4执行信道的竞争接入,且最小竞争窗为7,最大竞争窗为15,按照随机的方式产生一个随机回退值N为10,或者,预定义随机回退值N为10,则按照现有的LBT Cat4流程完成LBT过程最少需要2个OFDM符号,即时域上基站从开始执行LBT过程到至少2个OFDM符号的时间上一直进行CCA检测。而图3给出的仅是一种情况,即频域上按照每个PRB上的第三个RE资源,时域上持续k个OFDM符号的时间上执行CCA检测。其中,对于基站侧,由于最大竞争窗为1024,图3示意的k个连续的OFDM符号的符号数可以配置,或根据LBT Cat4机制中参数决定。而对于跨载波调度,基站不执行LBT过程,为了LAA与Wi-Fi系统之间具有公平的信道接入机会,UE侧也需要执行一个类似于下行LBT Cat4的信道竞争接入过程,但竞争窗小于下行采用的竞争窗大小,因此,对于跨载波调度的情况,UE完成整个LBT过程可能也需要至少一个OFDM符号的时间,可能也会持续多个OFDM符号的时间。而对于自载波调度,由于基站侧已经执行了一个LBT Cat4过程,当UE侧在进行数据开始传输之前优选的需要执行一个简化的LBT过程,如LBT Cat2或增强的LBT Cat2,或者,快速的LBT过程。此时,时域上UE仅需要持续几个OFDM符号的时域长度,优选地,一个OFDM符号或2个OFDM符号时域长度。该种图样上,整个带宽上也可以实现12个不同传输设备的图样配置,即每个传输设备在每个PRB中12个RE中的某个特定RE上进行零功率发送或进行静默Muting。例如:12个传输设备通过所述RE索引号和传输设备数求模所得值确定每个PRB中Muting资源。
图4是根据本发明可选实施例的信道干净评估检测图样的示意图二,图4中所示的是:频域起始物理资源块PRB的索引号为PRB#0,每个PRB中的起始资源粒子RE的索引号为RE#3,频域上连续的RE的数目为M,频域上一个RE块与下一个RE块之间包含的RE数目分别为12-M个RE。时域上是连续K个OFDM符号。例如:频域上,每个PRB中的起始RE
索引x0为3,连续的RE数为3,上一个RE块与下一个RE块之间的RE数为12-3=9,时域上,子帧subframe#0中OFDM#12开始,连续2个OFDM符号。或,从OFDM#13开始,连续一个OFDM符号。由此构成一个CCA检测的时频域图样。即,由上述参数组成Muting区域或零功率发送区域。
其中:时域长度K与设备采用的LBT机制中的参数配置值有关,或是,预定义,或者,基站配置。

图7是根据本发明可选实施例的信道干净评估检测图样的示意图五,图7中所示的是:频域上等间隔的离散RE块且每个RE块大小不同的一个PRB中的Muting图样,即频域起始物理资源块PRB的索引号为PRB#0,每个PRB中的起始资源粒子RE的索引号为RE#2,一个RE上有M为4个离散的Muting RE块,第一个RE块为RE#2,第二个RE块为RE#4~RE#6,第三个RE块为RE#8~RE#9,第四个RE块为RE#11~RE#12,其中,第一个RE块中包含1个RE,第二个RE块中包含3个连续的RE,后面两个RE块均包含连续的2个RE,且每个RE块之间的间隔为1。时域上是连续K个OFDM符号。一个PRB中的离散RE(块)索引号和/或RE块中包括的连续RE长度S可以预先指定,或者,基站配置(或指示);时域长度K与设备采用的LBT机制中的参数配置值有关,或是,预定义配置,或者,基站配置;M值可以预定义,或者,基站配置,或者,根据一个RB中包含的RE总数和连续的RE数目和每个
RE(块)间隔数目来隐式确定。此外,一个PRB中每个RE块中的包含的连续RE的个数可以相同,或者,不同。图7所示为每个RE块中包含的连续RE个数不相同。
下面举例说明:每个PRB中不等间隔的M个离散的RE(块),时域连续的k个OFDM符号构成的CCA检测图样。
图8是根据本发明可选实施例的信道干净评估检测图样的示意图六,图8中所示的是:频域上不等间隔的离散RE的一个PRB中的Muting图样,即频域起始物理资源块PRB的索引号为PRB#0,每个PRB中的起始资源粒子RE的索引号为RE#3,每个PRB中离散的RE数目M为4。其中,4个离散的RE位置索引为RE#3,RE#5,RE#9,RE#12。即传输设备在整个带宽中每个PRB中RE#3,RE#5,RE#9,RE#12上进行零功率发送或是Muting静默。时域上是连续K个OFDM符号。其中,一个PRB中的RE索引可以预先指定,或者,基站配置(或指示);时域长度K与设备采用的LBT机制中的参数配置值有关,或是,预定义配置,或者,基站配置;M值可以预定义,或者,基站配置。
图9是根据本发明可选实施例的信道干净评估检测图样的示意图七,图9中所示的图为每个PRB上每个RE块之间不等间隔,且每个RE块中包含的连续RE数目相同的示意图。即:频域起始物理资源块PRB的索引号为PRB#0,每个PRB中的起始资源粒子RE的索引号为RE#0,每个PRB中离散的RE数目M为3,即一个PRB中有3个离散的Muting RE块,第一个RE块为RE#1~RE#2,第二个RE块为RE#5~RE#6,第三个RE块为RE#11~RE#12,其中,每个RE块中均包含2个连续的RE;每个RE块之间的间隔是不相同的,第一个RE块与第二个RE块之间间隔为2,第二个RE块与第三个RE块之间的间隔为4;一个PRB中的离散RE(块)索引号和/或RE块中包括的连续RE长度S可以预先指定,或者,基站配置(或指示);时域长度K与设备采用的LBT机制中的参数配置值有关,或是,预定义配置,或者,基站配置;M值可以预定义,或者,基站配置。
图10是根据本发明可选实施例的信道干净评估检测图样的示意图八,图10中所示的图为每个PRB上每个RE块之间不等间隔,且每个RE块中包含的连续RE数目不相同的示意图。即:频域起始物理资源块PRB的索引号为PRB#0,每个PRB中的起始资源粒子RE的索引号为RE#1,每个PRB中离散的RE数目M为3,即一个PRB上有3个离散的Muting RE块,第一个RE块为RE#2,第二个RE块为RE#5~RE#7,第三个RE块为RE#11~RE#12,其中,第一个RE块中包含1个RE,第二个RE块中包含3个连续的RE,第三个RE块包含连续的2个RE;每个RE块之间的间隔是不相同的,第一个RE块与第二个RE块之间间隔为2,第二个RE块与第三个RE块之间的间隔为3;一个PRB中的离散RE(块)索引号和/或RE块中包括的连续RE长度S可以预先指定,或者,基站配置(或指示);时域长度K与设备采用的LBT机制中的参数配置值有关,或是,预定义配置,或者,基站配置;M值可以预定义,或者,基站配置。
本实施例中所述CCA检测图样或Muting图样仅是一些特例,但并不拘泥于上述图样。传输设备(指基站或者终端)或设备组按照上述特定的频域图样,而时域为连续的k个OFDM符号时间内执行LBT过程。本可选实施例,尤其适用于在占用信道之前执行LBT过程,原因
在于采用连续的时间段为了让设备充分的完成LBT过程,从而快速接入信道。但其频域图样也同样可以应用于预留信号期和/或数据传输期,原因在于,在预留信号期和/或数据传输期仅Muting特定的RE或PRB资源用于复用的设备进行图样识别,从而确定是同运营商或是异系统正在占用信道。此外,降低了传输资源的浪费,可选提高系统性能。
设备在占用信道之前,执行LBT过程采用的CCA检测频域图样可以为在全带宽上执行CCA检测,例如,如果在整个带宽上接收到的信号能量满足一定的门限值要求,则认为信道空闲;否则,认为信道不可用,或信道已被占用。
在按照同运营商中LAA系统设定的特定Muting RE或PRB或RBG或子带图样进行CCA检测时,由于LAA系统在对应的图样上是静默的,即不发送信号,因此,可以在对应的Muting RE或PRB图样进行检测能量是否满足CCA门限X的要求,此门限是为了判断该资源上是否有来自于异系统的能量,其中,如果判断无来自于异系统的能量,则认为信道空闲可用,仅有本系统存在。可以调整CCA检测门限,例如:降低当前设定的门限值。此外,在Muting RE或PRB或RBG或子带图样互补的资源上或整个带宽上检测到的能量满足CCA门限区间的要求的情况下,则可以认为是本系统的设备正在使用信道或可用复用,否则,不满足门限的情况下,例如,大于门限值Y,则认为信道被占用,本系统目前不可以复用该信道。此外,如果给LAA系统中的设备配置或是LAA系统中的设备具有Wi-Fi模块的功能,LAA设备也可以检测Wi-Fi系统发送的随机接入前导码(Preamble),从而确定是否存在Wi-Fi系统。
另一种情况,可以采用ZP-CSI-RS图样来作为传输设备进行CCA检测是采用的图样。由于目前ZP-CSI-RS图样时频域位置数量少,可以适当增加一些零功率RE资源位置。
其中上述的频域图样也可以是不以PRB为单位设计RE图样,可以以整个带宽中的总RE上根据起始的RE索引号,连续的RE数目,每个Muting RE(块)之间的间隔确定Muting的CCA检测RE图样。其中,可用是整个带宽上的等间隔的RE构成的Muting图样,或,整个带宽上等间隔且相同的RE块大小构成Muting图样,或,整个带宽上的等间隔且不同的RE块大小构成的Muting图样,或,整个带宽上的不等间隔的RE构成的Muting图样,或,整个带宽上不等间隔且相同的RE块大小构成Muting图样,或,整个带宽上的不等间隔且不同的RE块大小构成的Muting图样。图样构成方式同上述一个PRB上的Muting图样方式。
可选实施例三
本可选实施例主要侧重于频域上以每个PRB上Muting特定的RE组成的频域图样,时域上Muting特定的离散的k个OFDM符号(块)的时域图样,由不同的时频域Muting位置构成不同的CCA检测时频域图样。其中,时域图样与传输burst长度或子帧数目有关。
与实施例二不同之处在于,时域图样由离散的OFDM符号或OFDM符号块或时间段组成时域的CCA检测图样位置。频域图样同实施例一。
下面举例说明时域Muting图样:其时域图样由以下参数至少之一确定:时域起始帧号,起始的子帧号,起始的子帧号中的起始OFDM符号索引号,连续的OFDM符号数,每个Muting
OFDM符号(块)或时间段之间的间隔,传输burst长度或子帧长度。
图11是根据本发明可选实施例的信道干净评估检测图样的示意图九,图11中所示为传输设备从时域上t0时刻开始到t1时刻结束,持续t时间长度的示意图。其中:t0,t1时刻可以是一个子帧中的任意时刻,t1>t0。即传输设备在t0时刻开始进行CCA检测,且执行LBT过程的可用使用有t时间。
其中:图12是根据本发明可选实施例的信道干净评估检测图样的示意图十,图12所示时域图样为一个子帧中的最后一个OFDM符号,时域上每个Muting时域资源(块)之间的间隔为k。本实施例中k为一个子帧。例如:一个传输burst中包含4个子帧,按照图12的示意图,每个子帧中的最后一个OFDM符号上用于传输设备进行CCA检测。此外,burst中的第一个子帧中的最后一个OFDM符号,时域上第二个时域Muting位置与第一个时域Muting位置之间间隔为2个子帧,即,第二个时域Muting位置为第三个子帧中的最后一个OFDM符号位置。其中:时域上Muting的资源位置数目与传输burst长度或连续占用子帧数目,起始的时域位置,连续的时域长度有关,两个时域Muting位置之间的间隔有关。此外,Muting的时域位置可以是子帧的第一个OFDM符号或是子帧中的某一OFDM符号。
图13是根据本发明可选实施例的信道干净评估检测图样的示意图十一,图13所示时域图样为时域起始为一个子帧中的第14-S个符号,连续的OFDM符号数为S,每个连续Muting的OFDM符号之间的间隔为14-S个符号或P个子帧+14-S个符号。这里,假定:连续的OFDM符号数S为3,两个连续的Muting的OFDM符号之间的间隔为14-3=11个符号。即每个子帧中的最后3个OFDM符号上用于传输设备进行CCA检测。可选的,时域起始可为一个子帧中的前S个符号,或中间的S个OFDM符号。每个连续的Muting的OFDM符号或时间段可以是周期T出现,或非周期出现的。即,等间隔时域图样,或不等间隔时域图样。
下面主要侧重于时域图样以时隙为周期出现。但一个子帧中每个时隙图样可以相同,但时隙图样也可以是以子帧为单位周期出现,或,以时隙为单位周期出现。下面举例均以一个子帧中的时隙图样进行说明,但不仅局限于此。时隙图样也可以非周期的出现。
图14是根据本发明可选实施例的信道干净评估检测图样的示意图十二,图14所示时域图样为一个子帧中每个时隙的第p个OFDM符号开始,连续的OFDM符号数目S的示意图。其中,p可从[0,7-S]之间选择,S长度取决于p和一个时隙的长度。图14中示意的是从一个时隙的第一个OFDM符号开始,连续的OFDM符号数S为1。即,一个子帧中的时域图样位置:OFDM符号#0,OFDM符号#7。其中,在时域上OFDM符号#0,OFDM符号#7图样可以是以周期T出现,或非周期的出现该图样。周期T可以是一个子帧或是多个子帧。周期T也可以与传输burst长度有关。也就是说,可以每个子帧中都出现Muting OFDM符号#0,OFDM符号#7图样,或间隔多个子帧出现一次Muting OFDM符号#0,OFDM符号#7图样。此外,每个时隙中Muting的图样起始位置可以是从第一个OFDM符号开始,也可以从[0,6]之间的任意一个OFDM符号位置开始,或最后一个OFDM符号开始。而图15是根据本发明可选实施例的信道干净评估检测图样的示意图十三,图15所示时域图样为一个子帧中每个时隙的第0个OFDM符号开始,连续的OFDM符号数目S为2的示意图。
而图16是根据本发明可选实施例的信道干净评估检测图样的示意图十四,图16所示时域图样为一个子帧中每个时隙的第p个OFDM符号开始,连续的OFDM符号数目为S且每个每个时隙中两个时域位置之间的间隔f的示意图。从图16可以看出,时域中一个子帧中每个时隙中从第0个OFDM符号,连续的OFDM符号数目S为1,且一个时隙中两个Muting时域位置间间隔f为5。此外,这个一个子帧中的是时隙图样可以是周期T出现一次,或是非周期的出现。特殊的,每个子帧中出现上述图样。即每个子帧中的OFDM符号#0,#6,#7,#13上进行CCA检测。另一个情况,一个时隙中有6或7个OFDM符号,一个OFDM符号块中包含的连续OFDM符号数目,一个时隙中包含几个OFDM符号块可以确定每个OFDM符号块之间的间隔,也预定义获取,或,基站指示,或DCI通知。当然,一个子帧中的时域图样可以是间隔一定的子帧数目或是OFDM符号数目出现一次上述子帧中的时隙Muting图样。
可选实施例四
本可选实施例主要侧重于频域上以Muting特定的PRB组成的频域图样,时域上Muting特定的离散的k个OFDM符号(块)或连续的k个OFDM符号(块)的时域图样或连续的k个OFDM符号或时间段,由不同的时频域Muting位置构成不同的CCA检测时频域图样。其中,时域图样与传输burst长度或子帧数目有关。
本实施例与实施例二和三之间的区别在于,频域上的图样以PRB为Muting粒度。时域图样可以参考实施例二和三中的介绍。
图17是根据本发明可选实施例的信道干净评估检测图样的示意图十五,图17所示为频域上连续的P个PRB资源的示意图。其中,频域上Muting的PRB位置可以是连续的P个PRB资源,或者,除P个PRB资源之外的资源。假定整个带宽为B为5MHz,等同于25个PRB,设备或设备可以在连续的10个PRB Muting资源上执行CCA检测。其中,连续的P个PRB资源可以为从B MHz带宽的最小频域资源索引号开始的连续的P个PRB上执行CCA检测,或者,从B MHz带宽中的特定一个PRB索引号开始的连续P个PRB上执行CCA检测,或者,从B MHz带宽上的最大频域资源索引号开始向频域资源索引号小的方向的连续的P个PRB上执行CCA检测。此外,还可以将B MHz带宽分为两段,Muting上半部分的连续的P个PRB资源或者下半部分的连续的P个PRB资源,在其对应的资源上执行CCA检测。可选地,当系统带宽为10MHz、15MHz、20MHz同样可以按照上述的连续资源图样进行CCA检测。
图18是根据本发明可选实施例的信道干净评估检测图样的示意图十六,图18所示为频域上离散的P个PRB资源的示意图。即设备或设备组在整个带宽上按照频域上离散的P个PRB,本图为P个离散的PRB之间是等间隔的情况。此外,离散的P个PRB之间也可以是不等间隔的,P的个数可以根据系统带宽和每个PRB之间的间隔和每个PRB(块)中包含的连续PRB数目或起始的PRB或PRB块索引号确定,或预定义,或基站通知,或DCI通知。例如,系统带宽为5MHz,等同于25个PRB,且每个PRB之间的间隔为1,则P的个数即为12。也就是说,如果设备或设备组按照频域的起始位置,以及系统带宽和间隔值和每个PRB(块)中包含的连续PRB数目即可获知频域执行CCA的图样位置。例如,频域PRB最小索引号为1,且设备的Muting图样的频域最小索引号2,且间隔为1,则设备按照在PRB#2,PRB#4,PRB#6,
PRB#8,PRB#10,PRB#12,PRB#14,PRB#16,PRB#18,PRB#20,PRB#22,PRB#24的频域图样位置上执行CCA检测。此外,PRB级的图样可以是配置为等间隔的相同的PRB组大小的Muting PRB图样,或者,等间隔的不同的PRB组大小的Muting PRB图样,或者,不等间隔的相同的PRB组大小的Muting PRB图样,或者,不等间隔的不同的PRB组大小的Muting PRB图样。
可选实施例五
本可选实施例主要侧重于频域上以Muting特定的RBG或子带组成的频域图样,时域上Muting特定的离散的k个OFDM符号(块)或连续的k个OFDM符号(块)的时域图样,由不同的时频域Muting位置构成不同的CCA检测时频域图样。
本实施例与实施例二到四的不同之处在于,频域上Muting的图样是以RBG或子带为单位。
举例RBG为单位的CCA检测图样。其中:一个RBG的大小与系统带宽有关。此时构成RBG的CCA检测图样的参数至少由下述之一构成:频域上RBG的起始索引号,一个RBG块中包含的RBG数目,每个RBG或者RBG块之间间隔的RBG数目,整个带宽中的RBG总数。
例如:系统带宽为10MHz,等同于50个RB,等同于25个RBG,每个RBG中包含2个RB,每个RBG组中包含连续的2个RBG,每个RBG组之间间隔的RBG数目为2,起始的RBG位置索引为0。其构成的频域Muting CCA图样为RBG#0~RBG#1,RBG#4~RBG#5,RBG#8~RBG#9,RBG#12~RBG#13,RBG#16~RBG#17,RBG#20~RBG#21,RBG#24。其系统带宽为5MHz,15MHz,20MHz的RBG级的Muting CCA频域图样也同理,这里不再复述。另外,每个RBG组之间的间隔也可以是不等间隔的,以及每个RBG组内包含的RBG数目可以相同,也可以不同。
举例子带为单位的CCA检测图样。其构成子带的CCA检测图样的参数至少由下述之一构成:频域上子带的起始索引号,一个子带中包含的RE或RB或RBG数目,每个子带之间子带或RE或RB或RBG数目,整个带宽中的子带或RE或RB或RBG总数。假定子带以5MHz为单位,20MHz系统带宽中可以划分为4个5MHz的子带,传输设备可以按照连续的k个子带上进行Muting或整个带宽出连续k个子带以外资源进行Muting。例如:Muting的子带图样为子带#0,子带间隔为1,总的子带数为4,则频域Muting子带图样为子带#0,子带#2。或者,连续的子带数为2,频域上初始的子带索引为0,则频域Muting子带图样为子带#0~子带1,或者,子带#2~子带#3。
可选实施例六
本可选实施例主要侧重于CCA Muting图样以频域索引号递减或递减顺序构成的不同的CCA检测时频域图样。
图19是根据本发明可选实施例的信道干净评估检测图样的示意图十七,图19中所示的
图样对应上述特殊的图样,如图19所示,假定一个RB中有两个离散的RE块,且第一个RE块的起始位置为RE#3,第二个RE块的频域起始位置为RE#10,每个RE块中包含两个连续的RE。对于时域,每个时隙上有两个连续的OFDM符号,且时域符号起始位置为符号#1。此时,一个Muting RE位于RE#3,时域上位于第一个OFDM符号#1,而第二个Muting RE位于RE#4,时域上位于符号#2。此外,一个Muting RE位于RE#3,时域上位于符号#1,第二个Muting RE也可以位于RE#2,时域上位于符号#2。可选的,第一个Muting RE也可以位于RE#4,时域上位于符号#1,第二个Muting RE也可以位于RE#3,时域上位于符号#2。其中,时域上以子帧为单位的图样,也可以按照时隙为单位的图样。即,时域图样离散,频域图样也离散,且频域每个离散的图样可以呈频域递增或递减态。同样也可以时域图样连续,频域图样离散的图样可呈频域递增或递减态,或者,时域图样离散,频域图样连续的图样可呈频域递增或递减态,或者,时域图样连续,频域图样连续的图样可呈频域递增或递减态。
另一种特殊的CCA Muting图样如图20所示,频域图样随着时域的OFDM符号索引号递减频域频域索引也递减或递减。其中,频域上的Muting图样可以是连续的递增或递减图样或是离散的多个递增或递减的RE或PRB或RBG或子带图样。另一种图样为时域上OFDM符号索引号偏移一个offset1,频域上一个RB中的RE索引号或PRB索引号或RBG索引号或子带索引号偏移一个offset2值,其中,offset1和offset2值可以相同,或者,不同。图20中offset1和offset2值相同,随着时域上每偏移一个OFDM符号,频域上Muting RE位置偏移一个RE值,此时,时域图样是连续的,可持续多个OFDM符号。
此外,时域上的图样可以是离散的,同样,频域上的图样也可以是离散的,或者,时域上离散而频域上图样连续,或者,时域上连续而频域上图样离散。可选地,离散的图样之间可以是等间隔,或,不等间隔,或者,每个离散的图样包含有连续的多个OFDM符号或是RE或RBG。可选地,每个离散的图样中包含的符号数或RE或RBG数不同,或者,可以相同。
可选实施例七
本可选实施例主要阐述设备(如基站或者终端等)或设备组根据哪些特定的参数获得特定的CCA图样,以及基站侧和UE侧如何获取执行CCA检测时所采用的CCA Muting图样。
对于整个载波上没有任何基站或UE开始或正在使用的情况或信道的初始接入时,基站或UE按照自身的Muting图样所对应的频域资源上执行CCA检测,如果在对应的Muting图样位置检测能量小于特定门限A,则认为信道空闲,例如,门限A为-62dBm,或者为在-62dBm基础上加上[0~m]之间的数的绝对值(或加上正或负的[0~m]之间的整数),其中:m为整数,例如:m取值为-10,门限A可为-72dBm。可选地,m可以为5,10,15,20,30以内的数。
而另一种情况,当基站或是UE按照自身的Muting图样所对应的频域资源上执行CCA检测,如果在对应的Muting图样位置检测能量小于特定门限A,如果在对应的Muting图样位置检测能量小于特定门限A,则认为信道空闲或同运营商的基站或UE预留的图样(或同运营商中的基站或UE正在使用信道)或该载波上没有异系统存在。此外,如果基站或UE在Muting图样补集的图样上检测到的能量大于门限A且小于门限B,则基站或UE认为可以复用,即
认为同运营商的基站或UE正在使用该信道,且满足同运营商中的基站或UE复用的条件(如:复用的设备之间彼此不会造成很大的干扰或影响),从而检测到可以复用的基站或UE可以复用该信道。此外,基站或UE在整个频域带宽上检测到的能量大于门限A且小于门限B,则同样认为基站或UE可以复用。其中:门限A和门限B均有整数。例如:假定门限A为-62dBm,门限B为-52dBm,如果基站或UE在Muting图样补集的资源上检测到能量为-58dBm,则基站或UE认为可以与已占用信道的同运营商中的基站或UE复用信道。此外,如果在Muting图样对应的资源上检测能量满足门限A,认为信道空闲或者同运营商中的基站或设备正在使用该信道,可选地,如果在Muting图样补集的资源上检测能量依然小于门限A则认为信道本身正处于空闲态。其中,门限A和门限B可以分别为-62dBm加上绝对值[0~m]之间的任意一个数(或加上正或负的[0~m]之间的整数)后获得值,其中:m为整数,例如:m取值为-10,门限A可为-72dBm。可选地,m可以为5,10,15,20,30以内的数。
其次,对于同运营商中的基站或UE采用相同的CCA检测图样,不同运营商之间的CCA检测图样不同。一旦运营商中的基站或UE在对应的Muting图样上检测到信道空闲或者在自身对应的CCA检测图样上检测到信道空闲,则占道后需要在异运营商对应的CCA图样或是Muting的CCA图样上发送占用信息或是数据,或者,在整个带宽上,或者,在自身图样以外的资源上发送信息,防止造成异运营商的设备在对应的Muting资源上检测到信道空闲,认为自身可以使用信道,而造成碰撞。不同运营商之间的图样可以通过实现预定或是后台配置实现。
可选地,CCA检测的时域Muting图样可由下述参数之一获知:时域起始位置,子帧数目或传输burst长度,每个时间段之间的间隔,时间段数目,每个时间段内包含的时间粒子数目,时隙索引号,子帧索引号。其中,时隙索引为0表示子帧的前半时隙,1表示子帧的后半时隙。
而CCA检测的频域Muting图样可由下述参数之一获知:频域起始PRB索引号,每个PRB索引内的RE索引号,连续的RE长度,带宽或可用的PRB或RE数目,每个RE块或PRB块之间的间隔,RE块或PRB块数目,每个RE块或PRB块内包含的连续或离散RE或PRB数目,一个PRB中的RE间偏移量offset,一个PRB中离散的RE索引号或相对位置或相对偏移量和一个PRB中离散的RE或者RE块数目。
可选地,时频域图样可通过上述时域和频域的参数中至少之一获知。
举例说明:
例子1:系统带宽为5MHz(等同于25个PRB,或者,等同于300个子载波),每个PRB中的RE起始索引号为3(标注:索引号1为RE的最小索引号),RE的连续长度为1,则通过这三个参数可以获知CCA频域图样为由25个PRB中索引号为3的所有RE组成的图样。而时域上,假定在整个时域上都可以用于CCA检测,则由时域和频域共同构成的图样为:整体来看是由整个带宽上的25个PRB中索引号为3的所有RE和整个时域组成的窄带。
可选地,如果例子1中的RE的连续长度改为3,其他条件不变,则CCA检测的时域和频域图样为:由整个带宽上的25个PRB中索引号为3开始,连续3个RE,即[RE#3,RE#5]
的所有RE和整个时域组成的窄带。
可选地,如果系统带宽为5MHz(等同于25个PRB,或者,等同于300个子载波),每个PRB中的RE起始索引号为3,RE的连续长度为2,每个RE块之间的间隔为4时,则整个带宽上每个PRB中频域RE图样为[RE#3,RE#4],[RE#9,RE#10]。时域图样可以是整个时域。而当如果知道每个PRB中离散的RE或者RE块数目和起始RE索引号,RE块中连续的RE数目,可以获知PRB中的RE图样信息。
此外,系统带宽为5MHz(等同于25个PRB,或者,等同于300个子载波),一个PRB中的RE图样起始索引号为3,连续RE长度为2,以及RE块之间的间隔5个RE,时域上在一个子帧内的每个时隙上从符号索引号#0和符号索引号#1(注:符号索引号最小值为0),频域上按照RE块中单个RE索引号递减或递增的方向检测,时域索引号递增的方向检测。从而可得一个时频域检测图样如图19所示,其中,时频域均按照索引号递增的方向确定唯一一个图样进行检测。注意,频域上可以按照RE块中单个RE索引号递减或递增的方向检测或Muting对应的RE资源,或者,按照RE块作为一个整体和时域图样共同确定具体的不同时间点或时间段上对应的频域图样。
上述对RE级获取CCA图样的方法,可用于PRB级CCA图样获取,不同之处在于此时连续的是PRB的个数,无RE索引号。
此外,RE索引号可以是每个PRB中的相对索引号,也可以是整个带宽上的RE的索引号。例如:系统带宽为5MHz(等同于300个子载波),RE的最小索引号1,通过RE的起始索引号,连续RE长度,RE或者RE块之间间隔,或RE或者RE块间的偏移量offset,即可获知一个具体的图样。假定,RE的起始索引号3,连续RE长度2,RE或者RE块之间间隔,或RE或者RE块间的偏移量offset为4,则频域图样为[RE#3,RE#4],[RE#9,RE#10],[RE#15,RE#16],[RE#21,RE#22],即从整个5MHz带宽上看是等间隔的RE图样。此外,RE块之间的间隔也可以不同。其中:假定每个RE块中含有至少一个RE时,RE块之间的间隔是从一个RE块的结束RE索引号开始到下一个RE块的开始RE索引号之间的RE数目,或者,从一个RE块的开始RE索引号开始到下一个RE块的开始RE索引号之间的RE数目。RE或者RE块间的偏移量offset同理。这个例子采用前者的定义方式。时域图样可以采用上述描述。
对于基站侧,同运营商中的基站间采用相同的CCA检测图样,可以有一个基站从CCA图样集合中选择或确定待用于CCA检测的图样(可以是一个CCA检测图样,或者是多个不同的CCA检测),通过X2口通知给其他基站,用于CCA检测,或者,用于检测是否可以复用信道时的同运营商复用识别图样。或者,通过预定义确定同一运营商中的基站或UE使用的CCA检测图样,或者,CCA的Muting图样,或者,通过OAM后台配置获取CCA图样所用的参数,从而获知具体CCA检测时所采用的图样。而当基站间采用不同的CCA检测图样,可以通过X2口各个基站间交互各自的CCA图样或Muting图样的构成参数信息,或是直接交互图样,或者,选择一个主基站通过X2口通知邻近基站进行CCA检测是采用的图样参数信息,或者,各个基站间在一个CCA图样集合中选择自身所用的CCA检测图样,然后通过X2口交互其参数信息,其中,可以交互多次,以保证不同基站采用不同的CCA检测图样或Muting
图样。
而对于UE侧,获取CCA图样可以通过基站空口通知,或者,通过DCI指示,或者,通过SIM卡植入CCA图样参数配置,或者,预定义方式获知CCA检测采用的图样。
其中,对于数据传输期的CCA检测图样,或者,Muting的图样可以为RE级图样,或者为PRB级图样。但为了节省数据传输期的资源,如:PDSCH,PUSCH,优选的,在数据传输期采用RE级的Muting图样用于其他复用的设备或是继续执行CCA检测的设备进行信道忙闲检测,而采用PRB级的Muting图样在一定程度上会造成资源浪费,从而降低系统性能。
对于数据传输期,优选的,待复用的基站可以仅执行一个初始CCA检测(或者,LBT Cat4机制中的第一CCA检测),或者,按照之前冻结的N继续执行LBT过程,此时,时域上优选的配置1个或者2个OFDM符号用于复用的基站进行信道空闲检测,如果初始CCA检测信道空闲,或者冻结的N递减到0,则认为信道可以用。如果在对应的Muting图样上检测到信道空闲,则可选地,检测Muting图样以外的资源上或整个带宽上检测到的能量是否满足CCA检测门限要求,如果满足,则复用的基站可停止LBT Cat4过程,立刻执行一个LBT Cat2过程,为了尽快的接入信道,实现复用。而对于上行,如果UE侧需要发送SRS参考信号,而发送SRS参考信号的时域位置位于一个子帧的最后一个OFDM符号上,此时,如果Muting子帧中的最后一个符号上的整个频域资源,则会一定程度上造成SRS信号无法发送的结果。而对于Muting最后一个OFDM符号的子帧不是SRS参考信号的周期性发送子帧,则Muting图样可用于复用的设备进行CCA检测,而不与SRS参考信号的发送冲突。优选地,Muting SRS频域图样以外的资源作为CCA检测的图样。上述所述方式也可以用于其他两个阶段。
对于信道竞争接入初始阶段,预留信号阶段,数据传输阶段采用的Muting图样可以相同,当也可以对于不同的阶段采用不同的Muting图样,本发明中所述的图样均可以用于上述三个阶段。其中:对于同运营商上中的传输设备采用相同的Muting图样进行信道的竞争接入,而对于不同的运营商中的传输设备采用不同的Muting频域同样。可选地,同运营商中的不同传输设备也可以配置不同的Muting频域图样,用于规避设备之间的干扰。但从同运营商下的传输设备复用的角度,同运营商下的传输设备采用相同的Muting频域图样,在对应的Muting的时频域资源上不发送,或是进行零功率发送,而除Muting资源以外的资源上进行信道占用,用于防止不全部占用信道造成空余的资源图样恰好是异运营中的传输设备或是同运营商中哪些不同Muting图样的传输设备的Muting图样,或是CCA检测图样。
其中,Muting的资源上,传输设备可以先在Muting的图样上进行CCA检测,判断其Muting资源上的能量是否满足预设的门限值,如果满足特定的门限值,则可以认为该信道上没有异系统存在(如:异系统为Wi-Fi时,Wi-Fi如果存在,则是全带宽发送的。如果在LAA Muting的资源上检测到能量,要么是邻带泄漏的能量(泄漏的能量应该比较小,可忽略),要么就是来自Wi-Fi的能量。),或是,本系统的图样,或是,认为信道是空闲。可选地,该传输设备再检测Muting图样外的资源上的能量是否满足预设的门限值,或是调整后的门限值,如果满足(能量大于预设门限且小于调整后的门限,或者,能量小于预设门限),则认为信道可以用,或,可以与同运营商下的传输设备复用。
在信道竞争接入初始阶段,信道的竞争接入过程的时域时长优选配置长一些,有利于传输设备能够完成LBT过程,频域上可以采用PRB,RBG或子带,优选的,采用RE级Muting图样。在预留信号或初始信号阶段,由于预留信号或初始信号的发送时间长度有限,其频域的Muting图样主要用于待复用的传输设备进行图样识别或干扰源识别,从而确定是否可以一起传输。此外,在接入信道初始阶段和预留信号或是初始信道阶段,传输设备都没有完成LBT过程,在数据传输阶段也可以根据配置的时域图样的接入机会来可选进行图样识别或是干扰识别,来确认信道是否可用,从而提高复用的效率。优选的,数据传输期,从结合资源浪费和系统效率以及信道接入机会角度考虑,数据传输期(如:发送PDSCH,或,PUSCH,或DRS时)的时域图样,根据传输burst长度和连续使用的子帧情况或是周期的配置或是非周期的配置离散的多个时间段,优选的,时间段占用1个或是2个OFDM符号,至于时间段的位置则可以是子帧中的前面,中间或是最后。数据传输期(如:发送PDSCH,或,PUSCH,或DRS时)的频域上建议是以RE Muting粒度。
此外,Muting的RE可以配置为占用一个RB的4%,5%,10%,15%,20%,25%,30%,35%,40%,45%,50%,55%,60%,65%,70%,75%,80%,85%,90%,95%,100%或者,Muting的RE占用一个RB中n/12,n为[1,12]的数。同理,Muting的RE可以配置为占用整个带宽的上述所述百分比,或d/w,其中,d为Muting的RE数目,w为带宽对应的RE数目。Muting的RB或RBG可以配置为占用整个带宽的上述所述百分比,公式不变,仅改变了d的含义为Muting的RB或RBG的数目。w为带宽对应的RB或RBG的数目。Muting的子带也可以配置为占用整个带宽的上述百分比。时域的Muting的资源也同理。其中,传输设备可以是基站,也可以是用户设备UE。
可选实施例八
本实施例主要侧重于基站侧发送DRS信号的复用。其中,在系统规划时,同运营商下的基站可以配置相同的Muting图样用于进行CCA检测,也可以不同基站之间配置相互正交的Muting图样。
首先,基站发送DRS信号的DMTC窗大小是40ms或50ms,在对应的DMTC窗内基站有X次发送DRS的机会。X优选的配置为5或6。这X次发送机会利用是连续的Xms时间段内,或是离散的X次机会,每次DRS发送占用1ms的时间。例如:对于连续的5ms(等同于5个子帧)时间内,每次发送DRS信号仅占用一个子帧中的前12个OFDM符号,最后两个子帧用于发送DRS的LBT过程。可选地,最后两个OFDM符号上还可以发送预留信号,或占用信号,且预留信号或是占用信号发送的最大时长为2个OFDM符号的时间。也就是说,基站可以在5个子帧中的最后2个OFDM上执行LBT过程,如果在第一个子帧的前一子帧的最后2个OFDM符号时间内执行LBT过程成功,则,基站可以在第一个子帧上发送DRS信号。反之,如果执行LBT过程失败,则第一个子帧上不能发送DRS信号,基站继续在第一个子帧中的最后2个OFDM符号上执行LBT过程,如果成功,则在第二个子帧上发送DRS。依次类推,如果基站在连续5个子帧上都执行LBT失败,则在这个DMTC内不能发送DRS信号。反之,如果对应这5个子帧的DRS LBT有一次成功,则可以在对应子帧上发送DRS
信号。另外,基站可以在DMTC时间内的X个离散的子帧上的最后2个OFDM符号上执行LBT过程,任意一次执行LBT成功,即可发送DRS信号,占用一个子帧中前12个OFDM符号。
其次,主要描述基站之间发送DRS信号时的复用过程。假定有两个基站A和B,基站A在对应的执行LBT的位置执行发送DRS的LBT过程,其中:执行LBT过程的位置是子帧中的最后两个OFDM符号上执行LBT过程。基站B也在对应发送DRS信号可能子帧或是窗内的对应LBT位置执行发送DRS的LBT过程。其中,基站A和B在执行信道的竞争接入LBT过程时采用的Muting图样以及判定信道是否可用同上述实施例中的规则。其中,基站A和B配置的Muting图样可以相同,也可以为频域上相互正交的图样。这里以基站A和B配置相同的Muting图样为例说明:
假定基站A在信道的竞争接入时,在对应的Muting图样上检测到信道空闲,则基站A认为获取到信道的使用权,从而可以发送DRS。如果基站A成功完成LBT过程的时刻未到发送DRS的子帧边界,则基站A需要发送预留信号或初始信号。其中,基站A发送的预留信号或初始信号是具有一定Muting资源的预留信号,不是全带宽发送的。Muting的资源(RB级或是RE级或RBG级或子带级)用于待复用的基站在该资源上进行CCA检测。可选地,在发送DRS期间(DRS占用12个符号,其中:DRS是由CRS、PSS/SSS和空余符号组成,共占用12个连续符号),基站A需要同样Muting特定的资源不发送信息,此时,Muting的资源优选的是Muting RE的图样,此Muting图样在发送CRS的符号上是除发送CRS占用的频域资源以外的资源上的Muting图样(Muting的图样不能Muting掉发送CRS的资源),而Muting图样在发送PSS和SSS的符号上需要在除发送PSS和SSS资源以外的资源上Muting特定的图样用于复用基站做CCA检测和确定是否信道可用。而在发送DRS期间的空余符号上也需要Muting特定的图样。其中本发明提到的图样用于PDSCH期间的频域图样也适用于用于发送DRS。不同之处就在与Muting的图样需要避开发送CRS,PSS/SSS的位置。基站B与基站A配置相同的图样(或者基站A配置的Muting图样,就是基站B的DRS LBT检测图样),因此基站B在Muting的图样上进行检测,就获取信道是否空闲,从而确定是否可以复用基站A竞争到信道进行DRS发送。其中,基站B可以仅检测对应Muting图样上的资源是否空闲,也可以Muting图样的资源和Muting图样以外的资源综合判断信道是否可以复用。对于前者,如果基站B在对应的Muting图样上检测到能量小于预设的门限值,则认为信道可用,则可以发送自身的DRS。对于后者,如果基站B在对应的Muting资源上检测到的能量小于预设的门限值,则认为无异系统存在,或,是同运营商下的同系统中的设备预留图样,或,认为信道空闲。可选地,基站B检测到上述情况时,可调整CCA检测门限,用于提高同运营商中的同系统的传输设备接入信道的机率。可选地,基站B检测Muting资源外的资源上的能量是否满足预设的CCA门限或是调整后的CCA门限,如果能量小于预设的CCA门限,则认为整个信道是空闲。或者,如果能量大于预设的CCA门限且小于调整后的CCA门限,则认为是同系统的传输设备占用信道或认为信道可用,可以实现复用。能够识别干扰源的基站B可以发送自身的DRS信号。其中:如果基站发送DRS所执行的LBT过程,CCA检测的时长至少是defer period+N*slot的时间,defer period时长可配置为16us+n个slot,slot时长为9us,n为大于等于
1的某个值,N为大于等于0的固定值或随机值。如果检测信道连续空闲的时间为所述CCA检测的时长,则认为信道空闲,可以发送DRS。defer period+N*slot的时间不超过两个OFDM符号的时间,且基站发送DRS的LBT过程的开始时刻是前一个子帧的倒数第二个OFDM符号起始位置,或者是前一个子帧的倒数后两个OFDM符号范围内某个随机时刻,但需要保证自LBT开始时刻加上defer period+N*slot时间不超过前一个子帧的倒数后两个OFDM符号结束时刻。上述处理方式,同样适用于多个基站复用的情况。
而对于不同基站配置不同的Muting图样的情况,其中:不同基站的Muting图样是彼此正交。各个基站在对应的Muting图样上进行CCA检测,如果检测到对应Muting图样上的能量满足预设的门限,则认为信道可用,从而也可以发送各自的DRS。
不同基站或UE配置不同的图样也适用于PDSCH和PUSCH传输。以基站侧为例,也就是不同的基站配置不同的图样,且图样间彼此正交,每个基站在各自的图样上进行CCA检测,如果检测信道空闲,则认为信道可用。如果未到开始传输时刻,则需要发送预留信号或是初始信号,对应的预留信号或是初始信号可以是全带宽发送,也可以是预留出自己图样的资源,或是仅在自己图样的位置上发送预留信号或是初始信号,数据传输发送PDSCH也可以是全带宽发送,或,预留出自己图样的资源,或是仅在自己图样的资源上发送数据。每个设备在自己配置的图样上也可以嵌套使用本发明中的图样。也就是说,本发明也支持图样的嵌套。此上述实施例中所述或本发明中的各种时和/或频域图样可以任意组合。
显然,本领域的技术人员应该明白,上述的本发明的各模块或各步骤可以用通用的计算装置来实现,它们可以集中在单个的计算装置上,或者分布在多个计算装置所组成的网络上,可选地,它们可以用计算装置可执行的程序代码来实现,从而,可以将它们存储在存储装置中由计算装置来执行,并且在某些情况下,可以以不同于此处的顺序执行所示出或描述的步骤,或者将它们分别制作成各个集成电路模块,或者将它们中的多个模块或步骤制作成单个集成电路模块来实现。这样,本发明不限制于任何特定的硬件和软件结合。
以上所述仅为本发明的优选实施例而已,并不用于限制本发明,对于本领域的技术人员来说,本发明可以有各种更改和变化。凡在本发明的精神和原则之内,所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
