Description

无线通信系统中的电子设备和无线通信方法
本申请要求于2016年4月1日提交中国专利局、申请号为201610202724.3、发明名称为“无线通信系统中的电子设备和无线通信方法”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
本公开涉及无线通信的技术领域，具体地涉及无线通信系统中的电子设备和用于在无线通信系统中进行无线通信的方法。
背景技术
这个部分提供了与本公开有关的背景信息，这不一定是现有技术。
随着无线网络的发展演进，其承载的服务越来越多，因此需要额外的频谱资源来支持大量的数据传输。蜂窝无线网络运营商在使用现有LTE(Long Term Evolution，长期演进)网络的基础上，开始探讨如何使用非授权频谱资源例如5GHz ISM(Industrial Scientific Medical，工业、科学与医疗)频段。本公开涉及无线通信网络中的LAA(Licensed Assisted Access，授权辅助接入)通信。
在传统的TDD(Time Division Duplexing，时分双工)和FDD(Frequency Division Duplexing，频分双工)无线通信方案中，承载UL grant(上行调度授权)信令的SF(SubFrame，子帧)和承载由UL grant调度的PUSCH(Physical Uplink Shared Channel，物理上行共享信道)传输的SF之间的映射关系是确定且已知的。然而在LAA通信中，上行传输和下行传输存在着差异，无法利用下行确定的映射关系来规定下行传输。因此，当UE(User Equipment，用户设备)在非授权信道上进行PUSCH传输时，UL grant和对应调度的PUSCH传输之间的映射关系有待进一步讨论。
另外，UE在非授权信道上进行上行传输时，均需要首先进行信道检测过程来检测信道是否空闲，然而，何时采用何种类型的信道检测过程以及信道检测参数在不同的上行传输时段是否需要调整均是在未授权信道进行传输亟待解决的问题。
因此，针对以上问题中的至少一个，有必要提出一种新的无线通信技术方案，以解决UE在非授权信道上的PUSCH传输问题，从而实现对非授权信道的有效利用。

根据本公开的另一方面，提供了一种用于在无线通信系统中进行无线通信的方法，该方法包括：获取来自所述无线通信系统中的基站的下行信令；以及从所述下行信令中提取承载上行调度授权信令的下行子帧和承载由所述上行调度授权信令调度的在非授权信道上进行的包括物理上行共享信道PUSCH传输的上行传输的上行子帧之间的时间映射信息。

具体实施方式
现在参考附图来更加充分地描述本公开的例子。以下描述实质上只是示例性的，而不旨在限制本公开、应用或用途。
提供了示例实施例，以便本公开将会变得详尽，并且将会向本领域技术人员充分地传达其范围。阐述了众多的特定细节如特定部件、装置和方法的例子，以提供对本公开的实施例的详尽理解。对于本领域技术人员而言将会明显的是，不需要使用特定的细节，示例实施例可以用许多不同的形式来实施，它们都不应当被解释为限制本公开的范围。在某些示例实施例中，没有详细地描述众所周知的过程、众所周知的结构和众所周知的技术。
本公开所涉及的UE(User Equipment，用户设备)包括但不限于移动终端、计算机、车载设备等具有无线通信功能的终端。进一步，取决于具体所描述的功能，本公开所涉及的UE还可以是UE本身或其中的部件如芯片。此外，类似地，本公开中所涉及的基站可以例如是eNB(evolution Node Base Station，演进节点基站)或者是eNB中的部件如芯片。
在本公开中，信道和载波被认为是对应的，即一个载波对应于一个信道。在下文的描述中，对于载波和信道的使用不特意区分。此外，根据本公开的实施例，信道检测过程用于检测信道是否空闲，可以是LBT (Listen Before Transmit，先听后发)过程。在下文的某些实施例中，以LBT过程为例对根据本公开的多载波信道检测过程进行说明。值得注意的是，在本公开中，信道检测过程并不限于LBT过程，而是包括了其他类型的信道检测过程。对于这些其他类型的信道检测过程，在实施根据本公开的电子设备和方法时是类似的。
对于eLAA(Enhanced Licensed Assisted Access，增强授权辅助接入)PUSCH(Physical Uplink Shared Channel，物理上行共享信道)而言，可以支持至少RB(Resource Block，资源块)水平的多簇传输(大于2)，其详细设计有待进一步讨论。另外，针对PUSCH的传统资源分配(legacy resource allocation)的支持也有待进一步讨论。
对于eLAA而言，可以支持UL(UpLink，上行链路)grant和UL传输之间的灵活时间映射(timing mapping)。
对于使得UE在LAA的SCell(辅服务小区)中的多个子帧中的PUSCH传输成为可能的子帧中的针对UE的(一个或多个)UL grant的细节，至少可以考虑以下选项：
选项1)：针对UE的一个子帧中的单个UL grant可以调度N(N≥1)个子帧中的针对UE的N个PUSCH传输，其中每个子帧用于单个PUSCH。这里，N个子帧可以是连续的，也可以是不连续的。
选项2)：针对UE的子帧中的单个UL grant可以调度单个子帧中的单个PUSCH传输，然而UE可以在一个子帧中接收多个UL grant，用于不同子帧中的PUSCH传输。
选项3)：根据UL LBT结果，针对UE的子帧中的单个UL grant可以使得UE能够在多个子帧中之一当中进行单个PUSCH传输。
另外，还可以进行两个阶段的授权。公共半持久性的授权可以提供高级信息如RB(Resource Block，资源块)分配、MCS(Modulation and Coding Scheme，调制与编码方案)等。针对UE的子帧中的第二授权可以调度PUSCH传输，其对于某些UL子帧遵循上面提到的选项1)和2)。
对于eLAA的SCell中的UL传输而言，可以支持承载UL grant的子帧和相应的(一个或多个)PUSCH的(一个或多个)子帧之间的灵活时间映射。例如，可以假定最小延迟为4毫秒。
子帧中的针对UE的(一个或多个)UL grant可以使得LAA的SCell中的多个子帧中的针对UE的PUSCH传输成为可能，这对于跨载波调度 情形和自调度情形两者都成立。
图1示出了以自载波调度为例的未授权频段上的PUSCH传输的场景。如图1所示，围绕eNB的虚线表示eNB感测到的覆盖范围，而围绕eNB的实线则表示小区覆盖范围。eNB在进行自载波调度时需要进行信道感测以给用户设备在未授权频段上发送上行调度授权，小区内的各个用户设备UE1至UE5在上行调度授权的调度下可以经由未授权频段进行PUSCH传输。跨载波调度情形下，同样地，用户设备在上行调度授权的调度下可以经由未授权频段进行PUSCH传输。
关于未授权频段上的PUSCH传输，存在两种候选情形。图2示出了eNB在未授权频段信道检测空闲的情况下，在eNB的同一MCOT(Maximum Channel Occupancy Time，最大信道占用时间)之内的UL grant和UL传输突发(transmission burst)之间关系的情形。所述最大信道占用时间MCOT是指在未授权频段上允许连续传输的最大时间。所述MCOT的大小可根据信道使用优先级来确定。所述传输突发可以定义如下：每个传输突发是来自UE/eNB的连续传输，其中在同一CC(Component Carrier，分量载波)上没有紧接着来自同一UE/eNB的之前或之后的传输。
如图2所示，首先，eNB执行复杂的信道检测过程(Cat-4：如包含随机退避且竞争窗口大小可变的能量检测过程)以访问未授权频段。在信道检测空闲的情况下，eNB在编号为0的SF(SubFrame，子帧)中发送(一个或多个)UL grant。这里，假定SF0至SF3用于DL(DownLink，下行链路)传输突发，而SF4至SF9则用于UL传输突发。在进行UL传输之前，UE需要执行信道检测过程。
在图2中，承载UL grant的SF和包括PUSCH传输的UL传输处于同一MCOT中。因此可以认为，DL传输突发与全部UL传输突发之和小于等于MCOT。
图3示出了eNB在未授权频段信道检测空闲的情况下，超出eNB的同一MCOT之外的UL grant和UL传输突发之间关系的情形。
如图3所示，首先，eNB执行复杂的信道检测过程(如包含随机退避且竞争窗口大小可变的能量检测过程)以访问未授权频段。在信道检测成功的情况下，eNB在编号为0的SF中发送(一个或多个)UL grant。这里，假定SF0至SF3用于DL传输突发，而SF4至SF15则用于UL传 输突发。在进行UL传输之前，UE需要执行信道检测过程。
在图3中，第一个MCOT(MCOT#1)包括DL传输突发和部分的UL传输突发，而第二个MCOT(MCOT#2)则只包括UL传输突发。如在图3中可以看到的那样，承载UL grant和PUSCH传输的(一个或多个)SF超出了eNB的同一MCOT之外。即，DL传输突发与全部UL传输突发之和大于MCOT#1。
承载UL grant的SF和相应的(一个或多个)PUSCH传输的(一个或多个)SF之间可以灵活地进行时间映射。特别地，一个UL grant可以调度多个PUSCH传输，其中每个PUSCH传输由一个SF承载，并且不同的PUSCH传输由不同的SF承载。进一步，承载这个UL grant的SF和承载多个PUSCH传输的多个SF之间的时间映射关系是可以灵活地配置的，并且配置后的时间映射关系可以包含在时间映射信息中。另一方面，一个UL grant也可以仅调度一个PUSCH传输。同样地，承载这个UL grant的SF和承载这个PUSCH传输的SF之间的时间映射关系也是可以灵活地配置的，并且配置后的时间映射关系也可以包含在时间映射信息中。
另外，如果UE在非授权信道上的全部PUSCH传输都落在eNB的MCOT之内(如图2所示)，则UE可以执行简单的信道检测过程(cat-2：如不包含随机退避的能量检测过程)。如果检测到信道空闲，则UE可以进行PUSCH传输。但是，如果UE在非授权信道上的PUSCH传输落在eNB的MCOT之外(如图3所示)，则UE(例如在SF10之前)执行复杂的信道检测过程(cat-4：如包含随机退避且竞争窗口大小可变的能量检测过程)。
进一步，当UE需要在至少一个未授权载波上执行复杂的信道检测过程时，UE可能需要进行CWS(Contention Window Size，竞争窗口大小)调整，以便基于调整后的CWS来生成在复杂的信道检测过程中使用的计数器，以解决UE在非授权信道上的PUSCH传输问题，并且实现对非授权信道的有效利用。
在下文中，进一步以自载波调度的情形为例进行描述，但本公开并不仅仅限于自载波调度的情形。
首先描述根据本公开的实施例的UL grant的时间映射设计。图4图示了根据本公开的实施例的无线通信系统中的电子设备400的结构。
如图4所示，电子设备400可以包括处理电路410。需要说明的是，电子设备400既可以包括一个处理电路410，也可以包括多个处理电路410。另外，电子设备400还可以包括作为收发机的通信单元420等。
进一步，处理电路410可以包括各种分立的功能单元以执行各种不同的功能和/或操作。需要说明的是，这些功能单元可以是物理实体或逻辑实体，并且不同称谓的单元可能由同一个物理实体实现。
例如，如图4所示，处理电路410可以包括配置单元411。另外，处理电路410还可以包括添加单元412。
配置单元411可以配置承载上行调度授权信令的下行子帧和承载由所述上行调度授权信令调度的UE在非授权信道上进行的包括PUSCH传输的上行传输的上行子帧之间的时间映射信息。在本公开中，上行调度授权信令可以是上面提到的UL grant信令。
使用根据本公开的实施例的电子设备400，可以确定承载上行调度授权信令的下行子帧和承载包括PUSCH传输的上行传输的上行子帧之间的时间映射关系，从而实现了对非授权信道的有效利用。
根据本公开的优选实施例，添加单元412可以将时间映射信息添加到物理层信令或MAC(Media Access Control,介质访问控制)层信令中，以通知给UE。
根据本公开的优选实施例，在配置时间映射信息时，配置单元411可以将承载一个上行调度授权信令的一个下行子帧映射到承载由这个上行调度授权信令调度的包括PUSCH传输的上行传输的多个上行子帧。在这之后，添加单元412可以将时间映射信息添加到上行调度授权信令中。
在根据本公开的优选实施例中，L1信令指示了承载一个UL grant及其相应的PUSCH传输的SF之间的清楚的时间映射信息。在一个SF中，一个单一的UL grant可以包括对于多个SF有效的调度信息。可以在每个载波的基础上生成这种显式信令。
图5图示了根据本公开的优选实施例的UL grant设计的示意图。如图5所示，首先，eNB执行复杂的信道检测过程(如包含随机退避且竞争窗口大小可变的能量检测过程)以访问未授权频段。在信道检测成功的情况下，eNB在未授权频段上具有一MCOT。eNB在编号为0的SF中发送一个UL grant。这里，假定SF0至SF3用于DL传输突发，而SF4至SF15则用于UL传输突发。在进行UL传输之前，UE需要执行信道检测 过程。
与图3类似，在图5中，第一个MCOT(MCOT#1)包括DL传输突发和部分的UL传输突发，而第二个MCOT(MCOT#2)则只包括UL传输突发。
在图5中，UE会在SF0中接收到一个UL grant，而这个UL grant包括信息，所述信息指示这个UL grant对于SF4、SF5、SF6和SF10有效。如果在经历LBT过程后可以传输PUSCH，并且UE需要进行PUSCH传输，则UE将会在SF4、SF5、SF6和SF10中进行PUSCH传输。
为了将时间映射信息添加到上行调度授权信令中，添加单元412例如可以对UL grant中的10个填充比特进行重用，每个比特指示在即将到来的SF中是否对特定UE进行调度。
例如，在Bit0,Bit1,Bit2,…,Bit9中，“0”指示UE被调度，而“1”则指示UE未被调度。如果UE在子帧N中接收到一个UL grant，则Bit0指示在子帧N+4中这个UE是否被调度，Bit1指示在子帧N+5中这个UE是否被调度，以此类推，并且Bit9指示在子帧N+13中这个UE是否被调度。
这样一来，就可以确定承载UL grant的一个下行子帧如SF0和承载PUSCH传输的多个上行子帧如SF4、SF5、SF6和SF10之间的时间映射关系，并且承载PUSCH传输的多个上行子帧的位置是灵活可调的，从而实现了对非授权信道的有效利用。
根据本公开的另一优选实施例，一个下行子帧可以承载多个上行调度授权信令。在这种情况下，配置单元411可以配置承载多个上行调度授权信令中的每一个的下行子帧和承载由多个上行调度授权信令中的每一个调度的包括PUSCH传输的上行传输的一个上行子帧之间的每个时间映射信息。在这之后，添加单元412可以将每个时间映射信息添加到多个上行调度授权信令中的每一个中，以通知给UE。
在根据本公开的另一优选实施例中，L1信令指示了承载多个UL grant及其相应的包括PUSCH传输的上行传输的SF之间的清楚的时间映射信息。在一个SF中，UE可以接收到多个UL grant，并且每个UL grant由一个SF使用(进行PUSCH传输)。可以在每个载波的基础上生成这种显式信令。
图6图示了根据本公开的另一优选实施例的UL grant设计的示意 图。如图6所示，首先，eNB执行复杂的信道检测过程(如包含随机退避且竞争窗口大小可变的能量检测过程)以访问未授权频段。在信道检测成功的情况下，eNB在编号为0的SF中发送4个UL grant。这里，假定SF0至SF3用于DL传输突发，而SF4至SF15则用于UL传输突发。在进行UL传输之前，UE需要执行信道检测过程。
与图3和5类似，在图6中，第一个MCOT(MCOT#1)包括DL传输突发和部分的UL传输突发，而第二个MCOT(MCOT#2)则只包括UL传输突发。
在图6中，UE会在SF0中接收到多个(4个)UL grant。在每个UL grant中，都会添加清楚的映射信息。例如，UL grant 1对于SF4有效，UL grant 2对于SF5有效，UL grant 3对于SF6有效，UL grant 4对于SF10有效，等等。
如果在经历LBT过程后可以传输PUSCH，并且UE需要进行PUSCH传输，则UE将会在SF4、SF5、SF6和SF10中进行PUSCH传输。
对于多个UL grant的格式设计例如可以如下。对于常规的UL grant，可以解码N次，以得到UL grant 1，UL grant 2，…，UL grant N。对于被级联的UL grant，可以解码一次就得到UL grant 1+UL grant 2+,…,+UL grant N。
这样一来，就可以确定承载多个UL grant如UL grant 1、UL grant 2、UL grant 3和UL grant 4的一个下行子帧如SF0和承载PUSCH传输的多个上行子帧如SF4、SF5、SF6和SF10之间的时间映射关系，从而实现了对非授权信道的有效利用。
图7图示了根据本公开的另一实施例的无线通信系统中的电子设备700的结构。
如图7所示，电子设备700可以包括处理电路710。需要说明的是，电子设备700既可以包括一个处理电路710，也可以包括多个处理电路710。另外，电子设备700还可以包括作为收发机的通信单元720等。
进一步，处理电路710可以包括各种分立的功能单元以执行各种不同的功能和/或操作。需要说明的是，这些功能单元可以是物理实体或逻辑实体，并且不同称谓的单元可能由同一个物理实体实现。
例如，如图7所示，处理电路710可以包括设置单元711、配置单元 712和添加单元713。
设置单元711可以将一个上行调度授权信令设置成能够调度在承载下一个上行调度授权信令的下一个下行子帧之前的全部上行子帧所承载的PUSCH传输。
配置单元712可以配置承载一个上行调度授权信令的下行子帧和实际承载由一个上行调度授权信令调度的包括PUSCH传输的上行传输的上行子帧之间的实际时间映射信息。
添加单元713可以将实际时间映射信息添加到物理层信令或MAC层信令中，以通知给UE。
在如图7所示的技术方案中，在一个SF中，UE可以接收到一个单一的UL grant，但是这个UL grant对于全部的即将到来的上行SF都有效，直到UE接收到下一个新的UL grant为止。可以在每个载波的基础上生成这种隐式信令。并且，UE还可以(经由L1或MAC信令)接收到指示是否在即将到来的多个上行SF中进行调度的显式映射信息。
在第一阶段，UE假定一个UL grant对于全部的即将到来的上行SF都有效，直到它接收到另一个UL grant为止。图8示出了根据本公开的实施例的隐式信令设计的示意图。
如图8所示，首先，eNB执行复杂的信道检测过程(如包含随机退避且竞争窗口大小可变的能量检测过程)以访问未授权频段。在信道检测成功的情况下，UE会在编号为0的SF中接收到一个UL grant 1。这里，假定SF0至SF3用于DL传输突发，而SF4至SF11则用于UL传输突发。在当前的实施例中，UL grant 1对于SF4至SF11全都有效。
接下来，在SF12中，UE会接收到另一个UL grant 2，此时，UL grant1的效力终止。这里，假定SF12至SF15用于DL传输突发，而SF16至SF18则用于UL传输突发。在当前的实施例中，UL grant 2对于SF16至SF18全都有效，直到UE接收到下一个UL grant为止。
在第二阶段，UE可以接收调度信息，该调度信息指示在即将到来的SF中是否进行调度。
为了获得调度信息，例如可以对UL grant中的填充比特(也可以是其它物理层信令或MAC层信令中的比特)进行重用，每个比特指示在即将到来的SF中是否对特定UE进行调度。表1示出了比特位和SF是否被调度之间的关系。
表1
Figure PCTCN2017076930-appb-000001
在表1中，在Bit0,Bit1,Bit2,…,Bit9中，“0”指示未UE被调度，而“1”则指示UE被调度。如果UE在子帧N中接收到一个UL grant，则Bit0指示在子帧N+4中这个UE是否被调度，Bit1指示在子帧N+5中这个UE是否被调度，以此类推，并且Bit9指示在子帧N+13中这个UE是否被调度。
表1表明，UE将会在SF4、SF5、SF6和SF10中被调度。
通过这样的方式，同样可以确定承载UL grant的下行子帧和承载PUSCH传输的多个上行子帧之间的时间映射关系，从而实现对非授权信道的有效利用。
上面描述了根据本公开的实施例的UL grant的时间映射设计。接下来描述根据本公开的实施例的信道检测类型指示信令的设计。图9图示了根据本公开的实施例的无线通信系统中的电子设备900的结构。
如图9所示，电子设备900可以包括处理电路910。需要说明的是，电子设备900既可以包括一个处理电路910，也可以包括多个处理电路910。另外，电子设备900还可以包括作为收发机的通信单元920等。
进一步，处理电路910可以包括各种分立的功能单元以执行各种不同的功能和/或操作。需要说明的是，这些功能单元可以是物理实体或逻 辑实体，并且不同称谓的单元可能由同一个物理实体实现。
例如，如图9所示，处理电路910可以包括生成单元911和添加单元912。
生成单元911可以生成关于UE在非授权信道上进行包括PUSCH传输的上行传输之前执行信道检测过程的信道检测类型的配置信息。
添加单元912可以将生成单元911生成的配置信息添加到物理层信令中，以通知给UE。
使用根据本公开的实施例的电子设备900，可以确定UE在非授权信道上进行包括PUSCH传输的上行传输之前执行信道检测过程的信道检测类型，从而实现了对非授权信道的有效利用。
图10图示了图9的电子设备900中包括的生成单元911的结构的例子。如图10所示，生成单元911可以包括设置单元9111以及配置单元9112和9113。
根据本公开的优选实施例，设置单元9111可以将非授权信道上的多个非授权载波设置成彼此独立。
针对多个非授权载波中的每一个，当承载PUSCH传输的上行子帧落在MCOT之内时，配置单元9112可以将信道检测类型配置为第一信道检测过程(Cat-2)。
另一方面，针对多个非授权载波中的每一个，当承载PUSCH传输的上行子帧落在MCOT之外时，配置单元9113可以将信道检测类型配置为第二信道检测过程(Cat-4)。
根据本公开的实施例，信道检测可以包括特征检测和能量检测。在信道检测是特征检测的情况下，包括前导序列检测(preamble detection)和PLMN(Public Land Mobile Network，公共陆地移动网络)+PSS(primary synchronization signal，主同步信号)/SSS(secondary synchronization signal，辅同步信号)检测。在信道检测是能量检测的情况下，信道检测过程可以包括：(a)不包含随机退避的能量检测；(b)包含随机退避但是CWS固定的能量检测；以及(c)包含随机退避且竞争窗口大小可变的能量检测。在类别(a)中，能量检测指示空闲后直接进行数据传输。在类别(b)和(c)中，信道检测过程分为两个阶段，其中，第一个阶段包括初始检测时段和随机退避(random backoff)时段，第二个阶段包括自我延迟(self-deferral)时段(可选)。在初始检测时段结束 后进入随机退避时段，其中在随机退避时段中，仍进行能量检测，在该时段中通过设定随机退避计数器(也简称为计数器)来进行退避。当能量检测指示信道被占用时，随机退避计数器的计数被打断，其中随机退避计数器基于CWS来设定，信道检测进入defer阶段进一步感测信道是否空闲，如果信道空闲则随机退避计数器继续倒数，直到计数结束。在检测到信道空闲时，如果即将执行数据传输的时隙还未到来，则进入自我延迟时段以等待执行数据传输的时隙到来。在自我延迟时段中仍然在进行能量检测，当检测到信道被占用时，也不能使用该信道执行数据传输。换言之，在类别(b)和(c)中，在信道检测过程的两个阶段，即初始检测时段、随机退避时段和自我延迟时段，都在执行能量检测。类别(b)和(c)的主要区别是：在类别(b)中，CWS是固定的，而在类别(c)中，CWS是可变的。能量检测具有一检测期，以类别(b)和(c)为例，该检测期包括初始检测时段、随机退避时段以及自我延迟阶段。当检测期过后，称为能量检测或信道检测完成。
在本公开的实施例中，类别(a)的信道检测过程不包含随机退避，只包括一段时间的能量检测过程。例如，在能量检测过程期间，如果感测到非授权载波是空闲的，则可以在该非授权载波上传输数据。其中，感测过程的维持时间可以根据需求进行选取，例如可以为大于25μs。在这个实施例中，可以根据任何现有的或者已知的方法来判断非授权载波是否空闲。例如，能量检测的方式为：如果在能量检测过程期间在非授权载波上检测到的能量小于能量检测的门限，说明该非授权载波处于空闲状态。
根据本公开的实施例，eNB可以根据实际的需求和传输的内容从上述几种信道检测过程中选择不同的信道检测过程。优选地，eNB可以选择第一信道检测过程和第二信道检测过程以使得第一信道检测过程比第二信道检测过程简单。
根据本公开的实施例，第一信道检测过程可以为不包含随机退避的能量检测，换言之，第一信道检测过程为一段时间的能量检测过程，在能量检测过程期间，如果感测到非授权载波是空闲的，则可以在该非授权载波上传输数据。
根据本公开的实施例，第二信道检测过程可以为包含随机退避且CWS可变的能量检测，换言之，第二信道检测过程可以包括初始检测时段、随机退避时段和自我延迟时段，并且CWS可变。
根据本公开的实施例，第一信道检测过程可以只包括一次能量检测 过程。第二信道检测过程可以包括多次能量检测过程。前文中提到，第二信道检测过程可以分为两个阶段，在这两个阶段中，都在执行能量检测过程，换言之，第二信道检测过程包括多次能量检测过程。第一信道检测过程为一段时间的能量检测过程，在能量检测过程期间，如果感测到非授权载波是空闲的，则可以在该非授权载波上传输数据。换言之，第一信道检测过程只包括一次能量检测过程。
根据本公开的实施例，第一信道检测过程比第二信道检测过程简单，因此功耗也少。如果电子设备在未授权载波上只执行第一信道检测过程，则可以大大减少电子设备的功耗。
根据本公开的实施例，eNB可以确定并指示在未授权频段之上的多个载波上进行UL传输之前UE执行信道检测过程(如LBT过程)时的信道检测类型。例如，eNB可以经由对DCI(Downlink Control Information，下行控制信息)format 1C进行重用来指示信道检测类型，这将在稍后进行详细描述。
eNB确定UE在多个载波上的信道检测类型的方式如下。首先，eNB需要选择多载波感测过程的类型。例如，类型A多载波操作指的是在每个配置的载波上独立地进行感测过程(亦即非授权信道上的多个非授权载波被设置成彼此独立)，并且通常使用上面提到的第二信道检测过程。进一步，类型B多载波操作指的是非授权信道上的多个非授权载波中的一个被设置成主要信道，并且其它非授权载波被设置成次要信道。主要信道通常使用上面提到的第二信道检测过程，而次要信道则通常使用上面提到的第一信道检测过程。
在eNB选择类型A多载波操作的情况下，如果UE的PUSCH传输落在eNB的MCOT之外，则UE应当使用第二信道检测过程，以确保信道检测过程的有效性。另一方面，如果UE的PUSCH传输落在eNB的MCOT之内，则UE可以使用第一信道检测过程，以减少电子设备的功耗。
基于上述规则，eNB可以配置UE应当在每个配置的载波上执行的信道检测过程的类型。
图11图示了在自载波调度的情况下使用类型A多载波操作时的信道检测类型配置的流程图。
如图11所示，在步骤S110中，eNB选择UL类型A多载波感测。
接下来，在步骤S120中，eNB确定UE的PUSCH传输是否将会落在eNB的MCOT之内。
如果eNB确定UE的PUSCH传输将会落在eNB的MCOT之内，则在步骤S140中，UE将会执行第一信道检测过程。
另一方面，如果eNB确定UE的PUSCH传输将会落在eNB的MCOT之外，则在步骤S130中，UE将会执行第二信道检测过程。
最后，在步骤S150中，eNB将信道检测类型配置的结果通知给UE，以对UE进行配置。
图12图示了使用类型A多载波操作时的信道检测类型配置的结果的例子。
如图12所示，载波C1是Pcell(主服务小区)，载波C2至C5是Scell(从服务小区)。在载波C2上，首先，eNB执行LBT 2(第二信道检测过程)。在信道检测成功的情况下，在进行UL传输之前，UE需要执行信道检测过程。
如图12所示，在载波C2上，在eNB的MCOT之内，UE可以执行LBT 1(第一信道检测过程)。而在eNB的MCOT之外，UE则执行LBT 2(第二信道检测过程)。在其它载波C3、C4和C5上，UE独立地执行LBT 2(第二信道检测过程)。
根据本公开的另一实施例，设置单元9111可以将非授权信道上的多个非授权载波中的一个设置成主要信道，并且将其它非授权载波设置成次要信道。从上面的描述可以看出，eNB在本实施例中选择了类型B多载波操作。在这种情况下，配置单元9112可以将针对次要信道的信道检测类型配置为第一信道检测过程。
针对主要信道，当承载PUSCH传输的上行子帧落在MCOT之内时，配置单元9112可以将信道检测类型配置为第一信道检测过程。
另一方面，针对主要信道，当承载PUSCH传输的上行子帧落在MCOT之外时，配置单元9113可以将信道检测类型配置为第二信道检测过程。
根据本公开的实施例，在eNB选择类型B多载波操作的情况下，如果UE的PUSCH传输发生在主要信道上，那么，如果UE的PUSCH传输落在eNB的MCOT之内，则UE应当使用第一信道检测过程，以减少 电子设备的功耗；而如果UE的PUSCH传输落在eNB的MCOT之外，则UE应当使用第二信道检测过程，以确保信道检测过程的有效性。另一方面，如果UE的PUSCH传输发生在次要信道上，则UE只使用第一信道检测过程。
基于上述规则，eNB可以配置UE应当在每个配置的载波上执行的信道检测过程的类型。
图13图示了使用类型B多载波操作时的信道检测类型配置的流程图。
如图13所示，在步骤S210中，eNB选择UL类型B多载波感测。
接下来，在步骤S220中，eNB确定UE的PUSCH传输是否发生在主要信道上。
如果eNB确定UE的PUSCH传输不是发生在主要信道上，则在步骤S230中，UE将会执行第一信道检测过程。
另一方面，如果eNB确定UE的PUSCH传输发生在主要信道上，则在步骤S240中，eNB确定UE的PUSCH传输是否落在eNB的MCOT之内。
如果eNB确定UE的PUSCH传输将会落在eNB的MCOT之内，则在步骤S260中，UE将会执行第一信道检测过程。
另一方面，如果eNB确定UE的PUSCH传输将会落在eNB的MCOT之外，则在步骤S250中，UE将会执行第二信道检测过程。
最后，在步骤S270中，eNB将信道检测类型配置的结果通知给UE，以对UE进行配置。
图14图示了使用类型B多载波操作时的信道检测类型配置的结果的例子。
如图14所示，载波C1是Pcell，并且载波C2至C5是Scell。进一步，载波C2是主要信道，并且载波C3至C5是次要信道。
如图14所示，在载波C2上，在eNB的MCOT之内，UE可以执行LBT 1(第一信道检测过程)。而在eNB的MCOT之外，UE则执行LBT 2(第二信道检测过程)。在其它载波C3、C4和C5上，UE总是执行LBT 1(第一信道检测过程)。
上面提到了eNB可以经由对DCI format 1C进行重用来指示信道检测类型。换言之，如图9所示的添加单元912可以对DCI format 1C进行重用，以将生成的配置信息添加到物理层信令中。
具体地，在DCI format 1C中，比特位b0b1b2用于Pcell，比特位b3b4b5用于Scell 1，比特位b6b7b8用于Scell 2，比特位b9b10b11用于Scell 3，比特位b12b13b14用于Scell 4，另外还包括填充比特位等等。
可以对用于Scell 1-4的比特位进行重用。作为例子，如果用于Scell1-4中的一个的3个比特位为“000”，则指示执行第二信道检测过程。另一方面，如果用于Scell 1-4中的一个的3个比特位为“111”，则指示执行第一信道检测过程。另外，还可以规定这对于预定长度的时期(例如6ms)有效。
作为另一个例子，针对用于Scell 1-4中的一个的3个比特位中的每一个，可以规定“0”指示执行第二信道检测过程，而“1”则指示第一信道检测过程。另外，还可以规定这对于预定长度的时期(例如2ms)有效。例如，如果用于Scell 1-4中的一个的3个比特位为“000”，则表明在3个2ms内都执行第二信道检测过程。如果用于Scell 1-4中的一个的3个比特位为“110”，则表明在第一个和第二个2ms内执行第一信道检测过程，而在第三个2ms内则执行第二信道检测过程。
图15图示了根据如上所述的本公开的实施例的信道检测类型指示信令的设计流程图。
如图15所示，首先，eNB向UE传输针对每个配置载波的UL grant。
接下来，eNB向UE传输用于UL grant对应的每个配置载波上的PUSCH传输的信道检测类型指示。具体地，可以根据本公开的实施例生成关于信道检测类型的配置信息，并且将生成的配置信息添加到物理层信令中，以通知给UE。
接下来，基于eNB传输的信道检测类型指示，UE在多个载波上执行信道检测过程。
最后，在信道检测成功的情况下，UE在每个配置载波上向eNB进行PUSCH传输。
根据本公开的另一实施例，如图9所示的生成单元911可以生成子帧边界信息作为配置信息。子帧边界信息可以指示落在无线通信系统中的基站端的信道检测成功之后的MCOT之内的最后一个子帧。图16图示了 根据该实施例的信道检测类型指示信令的设计的示意图。
如图16所示，UE将会接收到UL grant，并且将会知道UL grant针对SF4、SF6、SF9和SF10有效。
另外，UE还将会接收到SF边界信息。这里的SF边界为SF9。
因此，UE将会知道SF4、SF6和SF9落在MCOT之内，因此UE在这些子帧上将会执行第一信道检测过程。另一方面，UE将会知道SF10落在MCOT之外，因此UE在SF10上将会执行第二信道检测过程。
对于多载波而言，eNB同样可以向UE通知多载波信道感测类型过程(亦即上面提到的类型A或类型B)。
如果eNB选择了类型A，eNB也可以在每个配置载波上通知SF边界信息。
在UE接收到SF边界信息之后，如果UE判断即将到来的SF标号小于或等于SF边界，则UE将会使用第一信道检测过程来访问未授权载波。另一方面，如果UE判断即将到来的SF标号大于SF边界，则UE将会使用第二信道检测过程来访问未授权载波。另外，如果UE没有接收到SF边界信息，则UE可以使用第二信道检测过程来访问未授权载波。图17图示了根据当前实施例的信道检测类型指示信令的设计流程图。
如图17所示，首先eNB向UE传输关于多载波感测利用类型A的信息。
接下来，eNB向UE传输针对每个配置载波的UL grant。
在这之后，eNB可以向UE传输每个配置载波上的SF边界信息。
接下来，基于接收到的SF边界信息，UE可以确定每个配置载波上的信道检测类型。
接下来，基于确定的信道检测类型，UE在多个载波上执行信道检测过程。
最后，在信道检测成功的情况下，UE在每个配置载波上向eNB进行PUSCH传输。
另一方面，如果eNB选择了类型B，eNB也可以向UE通知SF边界信息以供主要信道使用。
在UE接收到SF边界信息之后，如果UE判断即将到来的SF标号 小于或等于SF边界，则UE将会使用第一信道检测过程来访问主要信道。另一方面，如果UE判断即将到来的SF标号大于SF边界，则UE将会使用第二信道检测过程来访问主要信道。另外，如果UE没有接收到SF边界信息，则UE可以使用第二信道检测过程来访问主要信道。图18图示了根据当前实施例的信道检测类型指示信令的设计流程图。
如图18所示，首先eNB向UE传输关于多载波感测利用类型B的信息。
接下来，eNB向UE传输关于主要信道和次要信道指示的信息。
在这之后，eNB可以向UE传输主要信道上的SF边界信息。
接下来，eNB向UE传输针对每个配置载波的UL grant。
接下来，基于关于主要信道和次要信道指示的信息以及主要信道上的SF边界信息，UE可以确定每个配置载波上的信道检测类型。
接下来，基于确定的信道检测类型，UE在多个载波上执行信道检测过程。
最后，在信道检测成功的情况下，UE在每个配置载波上向eNB进行PUSCH传输。
上面描述了根据本公开的实施例的信道检测类型指示信令的设计。接下来描述根据本公开的实施例的信道检测参数设计。图19图示了根据本公开的实施例的无线通信系统中的电子设备800的结构。
如图19所示，电子设备800可以包括处理电路810。需要说明的是，电子设备800既可以包括一个处理电路810，也可以包括多个处理电路810。另外，电子设备800还可以包括作为收发机的通信单元820等。
进一步，处理电路810可以包括各种分立的功能单元以执行各种不同的功能和/或操作。需要说明的是，这些功能单元可以是物理实体或逻辑实体，并且不同称谓的单元可能由同一个物理实体实现。
例如，如图19所示，处理电路810可以包括配置单元811和添加单元812。
配置单元811可以为非授权信道上的非授权载波配置信道检测参数。
添加单元812可以将配置的信道检测参数添加到物理层信令中，以通知给UE。
使用根据本公开的实施例的电子设备800，可以确定为非授权信道上的非授权载波配置的信道检测参数，从而实现了对非授权信道的有效利用。
根据本公开的实施例，信道检测参数可以是在包含随机退避且竞争窗口大小可变的能量检测过程中使用的竞争窗口大小。
根据本公开的优选实施例，基于在先的由同一上行调度授权信令调度的PUSCH传输的结果，配置单元811可以为非授权载波配置UE进行由同一上行调度授权信令调度的包括PUSCH传输的上行传输之前执行信道检测过程时使用的信道检测参数。
根据本公开的另一优选实施例，基于在先的由同一下行子帧承载的上行调度授权信令调度的PUSCH传输的结果，配置单元811可以为非授权载波配置UE进行由同一下行子帧承载的上行调度授权信令调度的包括PUSCH传输的上行传输之前执行信道检测过程时使用的信道检测参数。
具体地，eNB可以基于一定的PUSCH传输来进行CWS调整(亦即信道检测参数配置)，这些PUSCH传输要么共享同一UL grant，要么使用在同一SF中发送的不同UL grant。如果没有前面提到的PUSCH传输，则eNB可以基于全部的在先PUSCH传输来进行CWS调整。图20示出了根据当前实施例的信道检测参数设计的示意图。
如图20所示，根据本公开的实施例，SF12之前的CWS可以基于SF8和SF11中的PUSCH传输来进行调整，SF15之前的CWS可以基于SF8、SF11和SF12中的PUSCH传输来进行调整，并且SF16之前的CWS可以基于SF8、SF11、SF12和SF15中的PUSCH传输来进行调整。例如，可以基于PUSCH传输的成功率来调整CWS。作为PUSCH传输的响应的NACK的数目越多，则表明PUSCH传输的成功率越低，因此需要调大CWS。相反地，如果NACK的数目越少，则表明PUSCH传输的成功率越高，因此可以调小CWS。
