Description

调整帧结构的方法、网络设备与终端 技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域,并且更具体地,涉及动态调整帧结构的方法。
背景技术
当前的无线通信技术已经发展到长期演进(英文全称:Long Term Evolut ion;英文缩写:LTE)系统,以附图1为例,现有的LTE系统中包括多个小区,每个小区中都有一个网络设备11和多个终端12,网络设备11向终端12发送公共控制信息和数据,以及用于检测公共控制信息和数据的参考信号。一般地,为了防止互相干扰,网络设备向终端发送信号与终端向网络设备发送信号都利用独立的资源,这个独立的资源可以是相同的时间但不同的频率,即频分双工(英文全称:Frequency Divis ion Duplexing;英文缩写:FDD),或者在相同的频率但不同的时间,即时分双工(英文全称:Time Divis ion Duplexing;英文缩写:TDD)。
随着通信技术的发展,全双工(英文全称:Ful l Duplex;英文缩写:FD)技术应运而生,相比于FDD和TDD,全双工因在同时工作的收发信道上使用相同的频谱,即同时同频,可以使频谱效率最大提升一倍。然而,由于网络设备自身的发射信号与终端发送的信号在频谱上重叠且功率远远大于终端的信号,因此会对终端的信号形成自干扰。现有技术通过天线隔离,模拟消除和数字消除等自干扰消除技术,对自干扰信号进行了有效的抑制。
由于自干扰消除实现较为复杂,在终端侧实现的成本过高,因此一个常用的折中方案是仅在网络设备实现全双工,而在终端侧还是实现传统的半双工。为了利用网络设备侧的全双工处理能力,一个现有的做法是在现有的帧结构中设立一个灵活子帧,放置于上行子帧之后而在下行子帧之前,它既可以作为上行子帧也可以作为下行子帧,如图2所示,在通信过程中,利用特殊子帧S指示该灵活子帧究竟是作为上行子帧还是下行子帧。但这种方式下的灵活子帧要求所有终端必须同时为上行或同时为下行,因此不够灵活。
发明内容

终端收到响应信息后使用新的帧结构与网络设备进行通信。
在一个可能的设计中,终端向网络设备发送帧结构更改请求中还包含终端期望使用的新的帧结构的信息。
网络设备收到该终端发送的帧结构更改请求后可以确定是否同意该终端使用期望的新的帧结构,如果同意,则响应信息中携带表示同意终端使用期望的新的帧结构的信息,如果不同意,则响应信息中携带表示不同意该终端使用期望的新的帧结构的信息。例如,响应信息中以一个比特表示是否同意终端使用 期望的新的帧结构。进一步地,该一个比特表示不同意终端使用期望的新的帧结构的时候,还可以表示不同意终端更改帧结构。这种设计的优势在于信令非常简单,开销较小。
在一个可能的设计中,响应信息中还包括帧结构更改起始的时间,终端在该帧结构更改起始的时间将帧结构更改成新的帧结构与网络设备通信。
在一个可能的设计中,在网络设备不同意更改终端当前使用的帧结构的情况下,终端接收来自网络设备的另一响应信息,该另一响应信息中包括用于指示不同意更改终端当前使用的帧结构的信息。例如,另一响应信息中以一个比特表示不同意终端的帧结构更改请求。终端收到另一响应信息后使用当前的帧结构与网络设备进行通信。
在一个可能的设计中,另一响应信息中包括一个新的帧结构的信息,新的帧结构与终端当前使用的帧结构一致。终端收到该另一响应信息后就知道,网络设备不同意更改该终端当前使用的帧结构。
在一个可能的设计中,新的帧结构的信息为新的帧结构的索引值。由于索引值比较简洁,因此可以节省流量。
在一个可能的设计中,终端向网络设备发送的帧结构更改请求,是在终端确定当前使用的帧结构不满足该终端的需要时发送的。例如,终端当前使用的帧结构不满足终端的需要具体包括:终端当前使用的帧结构不适合终端的业务,或者终端的业务、终端的位置、终端受到的干扰和终端的信道质量中的一个或者多个参数发生变化。这样终端可以有更大的自由度选择自身的帧结构。
在一个可能的设计中,新的帧结构为网络设备收到终端发送的帧结构更改请求后,根据终端需求的业务类型、终端的位置信息、信道质量、终端的干扰、网络设备的负载中的一个或者多个参数为终端确定的。这样网络设备就可以为每一个终端都独立的调度帧结构,使得每个终端都能找到各自合适的帧结构,可以显著提升系统性能。
第二方面,本申请的实施例提供了一种调整帧结构的方法,包括:网络设备接收终端发送的帧结构更改请求,其中该终端为该网络设备服务的一个终端,帧结构更改请求用于请求网络设备更改终端当前使用的帧结构;在网络设备同意更改终端当前使用的帧结构的情况下,网络设备向终端发送响应信息,响应信息中包括用于指示终端使用新的帧结构的信息。
在一个可能的设计中,网络设备在终端收到响应信息后使用新的帧结构与终端进行通信。
在一个可能的设计中,帧结构更改请求中包含终端期望使用的新的帧结构的信息。响应信息携带同意终端期望使用的新的帧结构的信息。例如:响应信息中以一个比特表示是否同意终端使用期望的新的帧结构。进一步地,该一个比特表示不同意终端使用期望的新的帧结构的时候,还可以表示不同意终端更改帧结构。这种设计的优势在于信令非常简单,开销较小。
在一个可能的设计中,网络设备确定新的帧结构为是否同意终端的帧结构更改为终端期望的新的帧结构,如果不同意则还需要确定其它的新的帧结构。
在一个可能的设计中,网络设备还确定帧结构更改起始的时间,响应信息中还包括帧结构更改起始的时间,网络设备在该帧结构更改起始的时间将帧结构更改成新的帧结构与终端通信。
在一个可能的设计中,如果网络设备不同意更改终端当前使用的帧结构,则网络设备使用当前的帧结构与终端进行通信。
在一个可能的设计中,如果网络设备不同意更改终端当前使用的帧结构,网 络设备向终端发送另一响应信息,其中另一响应信息中包括用于指示不同意终端更改当前使用的帧结构的信息。例如,另一响应信息中以一个比特表示不同意终端的帧结构更改请求。
在一个可能的设计中,另一响应信息中包括一个新的帧结构的信息,新的帧结构与终端当前使用的帧结构一致。

具体实施方式
在现有的LTE-TDD中,无论是否采用灵活子帧,网络设备与所有终端的上下行配置都是一致的,即网络设备与每个终端之间都采用相同的帧结构。一般地,网络设备为基站,但也可以是具有类似功能的其他形式的网络侧设备,比如分布式的天线、分布式发射点等。
在本申请的实施例中,网络设备采用全双工,终端采用半双工,同一网络设备服务的不同终端可以用不同的帧结构同时与网络设备通信,对于每个终端使用的帧结构可以独立地进行上下行配置,即不同的终端使用的帧结构中可以存在不同的上下行配置,由于上下行同频,因此更多地可以参考LTE-TDD的模式。在这种场景下,如何协商更改该终端的帧结构以有效地优化系统资源配置,是本发明所解决的问题。
考虑到终端初始接入的需要,可以规定一个默认的帧结构,该帧结构无需网络设备通知终端或网络设备与终端之间进行协商。在该默认的帧结构下,网络设备采用事先约定好的时隙和周期来向终端发送同步信号、接收终端的初始接入、与终端进行能力协商、或与终端进行能力确认等,确保新的终端在没有与网络设备之间经过协商的情况下能通过该默认的帧结构随时接入,默认的帧结构可以是现有的LTE-TDD规定的帧结构,也可以是新定义的,以表1为例,默认的帧结构可为表1中任意一个索引值对应的帧结构,其中帧的长度可以与LTE-TDD中帧的长度相同(当然,也可以根据需要重新定义新的帧长度),即每一帧中包括10个子帧,网络设备和终端都可以保存如表1定义的帧结构和帧结构对应的索引值。当然,还可以根据不同的频段设定不同的默认的帧结构,这里不再赘述。表1中共有n种帧结构,最大的帧结构索引值为n-1。索引值0~6对应的为现有LTE-TDD已有的帧结构,索引值7~(n-1)对应的为未来可能新增的n-7种帧结构,帧结构x和x+1表示这n-1种帧结构中的任意两种相邻帧结构。需要注意的是,n不一定需要大于6,即不一定需要将现有LTE-TDD中所有的帧结构都一并采纳,特别地,n还可以为1,即只规定一种帧结构并将之作为默认的帧结构。优选地,为了终端更好的同步,在同步信号发送的子帧,都配置为下行,例如可在第0子帧和第5子帧配置发送同步信号。不失一般性,假设帧结构x为默认的帧结构且只在#0(其中#表示次序,比如#0即表示0号,即第0个)子帧发送同步信号,则新的终端只在每一帧的#2子帧发送接入请求,接入后网络设备和终端可以进行能力协商或需求协商,确认是否要调整帧结构。这样通过协商,网络设备就可以为每一个终端都独立的调度帧结构,使得每个终端都能找到各自合适的帧结构,可以显著提升系统性能。协商过程一旦结束, 网络设备和终端就按照协商结果确定的帧结构进行通信。
本申请的实施例在网络设备全双工,终端半双工的模式中,网络设备可以根据终端的需求,灵活地调整终端的帧结构。该网络设备可以是网络侧设备,例如基站,也可以是终端,例如,在D2D通信中,由作为发射机的终端承担网络设备的角色。为便于理解,下面均以网络设备为例进行描述。
表1全双工帧结构上下行子帧配置
Figure PCTCN2017083590-appb-000001
一种全双工帧结构灵活调整的方法包括:在按照默认的帧结构建立连接后,或者在通信进行过程中,网络设备和终端协商更改终端的帧结构。比如,当前的帧结构为表1中的帧结构j(0≤j≤n-1,这个帧结构可以是默认的帧结构,也可以是之前已经调整过的帧结构),网络设备和终端协商更改终端的帧结构为表1所示帧结构i(0≤i≤n-1,i≠j),这种更改可以由网络设备触发,也可以由终端触发。
下面通过不同的实施例来具体说明,需要指出的是,无论是哪一个实施例,针对的都是网络设备服务的任一终端,不同的终端可以独立进行更改帧结构,彼此不必强求一致。由于是对每个终端单独进行帧结构的调整,因此无论同意还是不同意更改,如无特别说明,下文中的响应信息或者用于指示终端采用新的帧结构的信息都是对一个终端单独发送。特别地,如果是网络设备对其服务的一组终端(并非全部终端)统一进行更改,则响应信息或者用于指示终端采用新的帧结构的信息中可以包含指示终端组的信息或者通过在该组终端对应的共用资源上传输表示这是对这一组终端统一进行的帧结构的更改,更改帧结构的方法和原则与一个终端更改帧结构的方法和原则一致。不失一般性,本申请均以一个终端为例。
实施例一
网络设备和终端协商更改终端的帧结构时,可由终端发起帧结构更改请求。例如,参见图3所示,图3中的终端100为网络设备200服务的任一终端(注意这里是任一终端,即对网络设备服务的不同终端可以做各自独立的处理),在步骤301,终端100在当前使用的帧结构不满足需要时,向网络设备200发送帧结构更改请求,所述帧结构更改请求用于请求网络设备200更改所述终端当前使用的帧结构,当然也可以命名为其他的信令名称;在步骤302,网络设备200收到终端100发送的帧结构更改请求后确定是否同意更改终端100当前使用的帧结构,在步骤303向终端100发送响应信息,如果网络设备200同意更改,则该响应信息中包括用于指示所述终端100使用新的帧结构的信息,如果网络设备200不同意更改,则该响应信息中包括用于指示所述网络设备200不同意更改所述终端100当前使用的帧结构的信息。随后在步骤304网络设备200与终端100就按照响应信息中确认的帧结构进行 通信。
终端当前的帧结构不满足终端的需要的情况有很多,例如,终端当前使用的默认帧结构不适合终端的业务,或者终端在与网络设备通信的过程中该终端的业务、该终端的位置、该终端受到的干扰和该终端的信道质量中的一个或者多个参数发生变化等等。举个具体的例子来说,假如终端当前使用的默认帧结构是帧结构x+1,在x+1帧结构下大部分子帧都是分配给下行的,但若当前业务是由终端发起的上传视频或者上载软件包等大容量业务,则显然需要更多的上行资源来传输较大数据流量,而对下行资源的要求不是太高,这时候帧结构x+1就不是很合适了,因此需要配置更多上行子帧的帧结构,例如帧结构0,在此种情况下,终端就可以向网络设备发送一个帧结构更改请求,请求网络设备将终端的帧结构更改为终端期望的新的帧结构0或者其他适合终端当前业务的帧结构。再举一例,如图4所示,假如终端A当前使用的帧结构是帧结构x+1,该终端A位置发生移动后,与采用帧结构2通信的另一终端B位置非常靠近,即图4中的临近终端,这样其特殊子帧受到终端B上行通信的严重干扰,即终端A的位置和干扰都发生了变化,相应地,终端B的第3、8个下行子帧也受到终端A的上行通信的严重干扰,图中以斜体标出终端A和终端B受到严重干扰的子帧,这时候,终端A和终端B就可以向网络设备发送一个帧结构更改请求,终端A请求将帧结构更改为帧结构2或者只请求更改帧结构,而终端B也请求将帧结构更改为帧结构x+1或者只请求更改帧结构,网络设备在分别收到终端A和终端B的请求后,可以选择将帧结构统一调为帧结构2,也可以选择将帧结构同意调为帧结构x+1,还可以选择为终端A和终端B选择一个新的相同的帧结构,分别通知终端A和终端B,这样终端A和终端B都以通知的帧结构与网络设备通信,帧结构就可以同步,减小了因位置和干扰的变化而带来的干扰。除此之外,终端还可以根据业务类型的变化,终端自身所受到其他终端的干扰,或者信道质量的变化,或者位置变化,或者其他情形,主动发起帧结构更改请求给网络设备。
上述例子中提到了终端在向网络设备发送的帧结构更改请求中还可以包括该终端期望的新的帧结构的信息,即终端可以主动告诉网络设备自己期望使用哪种帧结构。例如,终端可以在类似表1的帧结构索引表中找到合适的帧结构(即终端期望的新的帧结构),所谓合适的帧结构,是终端根据自身受到的干扰情况、业务类型等因素做出的选择,并将该帧结构的信息(例如,该帧结构的索引值)放在帧结构更改请求中一并发送给网络设备,如图5所示,与图3所示的流程类似,图5中的终端100为网络设备200服务的任一终端(注意这里是任一终端,即对网络设备服务的不同终端可以做各自独立的处理),在步骤401终端100向网络设备200发送包括期望的帧结构的帧结构更改请求,网络设备在步骤402确认是否同意该请求,并在步骤403向终端100发送响应消息,该响应消息可以是一个请求确认(参见图5所示,该响应消息或请求确认可以为1比特,需要说明的是,该请求确认还可以是通过多个比特携带的,例如,考虑编码等因素需要携带更多的信息的情况下就可能不止1个比特了),然后终端100与网络设备200就在步骤404按请求确认的内容对应的帧结构通信,即如果是同意,则按终端期望的帧结构进行通信,如果是不同意,则还是按终端当前的帧结构进行通信。终端也可以不告诉网络设备期望使用哪种帧结构,由网络设备根据终端的业务类型来为终端确定适合的帧结构,例如,终端在发起业务请求的时候,已经知会网络设备所需的业务类型,因此,终端也可以只发送帧结构更改请求而不携带终端期望使用哪种帧结构,网络设备收到终端发送的帧结构更改请求后,可以基于网络设备的负载、终端所需的业务类型、网络设备所获得的终端位置信息、信道质量、终端的干扰等参数中的一个或多个来为终端确定合适的新的帧结构,需要注意的是,不同于终端只需评估自身受到的干扰,网络设备 在评估干扰情况时,不但要考虑该终端受到的干扰,还要评估该终端对其他终端的干扰,因此这里以‘终端的干扰’统称(下同)。网络设备收到终端发送的帧结构更改请求后,不管是否同意更改,都会给终端回复一个响应信息,如果网络设备同意更改,则该响应信息中包括用于指示所述终端使用新的帧结构的信息。若网络设备不同意更改,或者重新确定的新的帧结构还是当前的帧结构,则响应信息中包括用于指示不同意更改所述终端当前使用的帧结构的信息。
网络设备在收到终端发送的帧结构更改请求后如果同意更改,则存在如下几种情况:
(1)如果该帧结构更改请求中没有包含终端期望的新的帧结构,则网络设备为终端确定一种新的帧结构,这种新的帧结构更适合终端当前的业务类型或场景;
(2)如果该帧结构更改请求中包含了终端期望的新的帧结构,并且网络设备同意,则网络设备确定将终端期望的新的帧结构作为新的帧结构;
(3)如果该帧结构更改请求中包含了终端期望的新的帧结构,但是网络设备不同意,则网络设备为终端确定一种新的帧结构;这种新的帧结构更适合终端当前的业务类型或场景。
前面已经描述过网络设备如何为终端确定新的帧结构,因此,此处不再赘述。
网络设备为终端确定好新的帧结构后,发送响应信息给终端。终端收到该响应信息后使用新的帧结构与网络设备之间进行通信。
如果终端发送的帧结构更改请求中已经包含期望的新的帧结构的信息,则网络设备发送给终端的响应信息中可以简单携带表示同意或者不同意终端使用所述期望的新的帧结构的信息即可,比如,采用现有通信协议中ACK/NACK(中文全称:确认/不确认;英文全称:Acknowledged/Not Acknowledged)信号的发送方式,ACK信号表示同意终端建议的帧结构,NACK表示不同意终端期望的新的帧结构。或者将是否采用终端期望的新的帧结构作为一个域放到现有的下行控制信道中,这样,只需要一个比特即可,比如用1表示同意,用0表示不同意。特别地,还有个更简化的响应方式,即网络设备不但用0表示不同意终端期望的帧结构,而且还表示不同意终端更改帧结构,即要么采用终端期望的新的帧结构,要么就继续当前的帧结构,图5就给出了这种响应方式,这种响应方式比较简便,当然在灵活性上有所欠缺,属于一个兼顾复杂度和灵活性的折中方案。
如果终端发送的更改请求不包含期望的新的帧结构,或者网络设备最终确定的新的帧结构不同于终端期望的新的帧结构,那么网络设备在响应信息中则包括新的上下行帧结构或者新的上下行帧结构的索引。响应信息可以通过一条独立的消息发送给终端,也可以包括在其它消息中发送给终端,例如直接包括在PDCCH(中文全称:下行控制物理信道;英文全称:Physical Downlink Control Channel)等上下行调度控制信道或RRC(中文全称:无线资源控制层;英文全称:Radio Resource Control)信令中。
网络设备在收到终端发送的帧结构更改请求后如果不同意更改,也可以拒绝该帧结构更改请求。例如,网络设备根据当前的负载情况、终端的业务、位置、干扰情况或信道信息等参数中的一个或者多个判断不能更改帧结构,则可以拒绝该帧结构更改请求,在这种情况下,终端还是按照原有的帧结构与网络设备通信。或者网络设备确认的新的帧结构与终端原有的帧结构一致时,同样表示网络设备不同意该更改请求。特别地,即使这种情况下,网络设备还是可以通过响应信息将终端当前使用的帧结构的索引发送给终端,终端收到该消息后,发现响应信息中的帧结构的索引值与终端当前使用的帧结构的索引值一样,由此确定网络设备拒绝该终端本次更改帧结构的请求。
对于上述终端只发送帧结构更改请求而不指定期望的新的帧结构的方式,这是由于网络设备有更多的全局信息,有利于做出更适合系统的调度,同时也可以简化终端的处理,有利于延长终端的寿命。
而对于由终端指定期望的新的帧结构的方式,会加大终端处理复杂度,但是可以使终端获得最合适的帧结构,提升用户体验。
进一步地,如果终端发现新的帧结构还不能满足需求,则可以再次发起帧结构更改请求。
通常,网络设备与终端在发送和接收响应信息的下一帧更改为新的帧结构。特别地,网络设备还可以确定帧结构更改起始的时间,并在发送给终端的响应信息中包括该帧结构更改起始的时间,这种情况下,网络设备与终端会在该帧结构更改起始的时间将帧结构更改为新的帧结构进行通信。
实施例二
上面的实施例中是以终端发起帧结构更改请求为例来进行说明的,在实际应用中,也可以由网络设备来发起帧结构更改请求。
网络设备在当前的帧结构不满足终端或者网络设备的需要时为所述终端确定新的帧结构;所述网络设备向所述终端发送用于指示所述终端使用新的帧结构的信息。终端当前的帧结构不满足终端的需要的情况有很多,具体可以参见前面实施例一的描述。终端当前的帧结构不满足网络设备的需要主要是指网络设备的负载不能很好地支持终端当前的帧结构,比如在网络设备已经满负荷的情况下,又有新的业务加入,这时候,网络设备不能很好地维持所有原有终端的帧结构,需要主动调整所有原有终端中的某一个或者某一部分终端的帧结构,达到新的负载平衡。至于网络设备如何为终端确定新的帧结构也可以参见前面实施例一的描述。
比如当前终端A的帧结构是帧结构0,该帧结构下大部分子帧都是分配给上行的,但若网络设备对于终端A附近的其他终端的业务是传输视频等大容量业务,这时候为了控制终端A的上行传输对于其他终端的干扰,网络设备可以主动调整终端A的帧结构,适当减少其上行传输,例如更改为帧结构2。
如图6所示,终端100为网络设备200服务的任一终端(注意这里是任一终端,即对该网络设备服务的不同终端可以做各自独立的处理),网络设备200可以根据终端100当前的业务类型(例如,业务类型的变化)、终端100的位置信息、终端100的信道质量、终端100的干扰、网络设备200的负载或者其他情形中的一个或多个确定该终端100当前的帧结构需要调整,则网络设备200主动发起改变帧结构,例如,在步骤501中直接向终端100发送用于指示终端100使用新的帧结构的信息(例如,新的帧结构对应的索引值)。另外,这个用于指示终端100使用新的帧结构的信息可以通过一条独立的消息发送给终端100,也可以包括在其它消息中发送给终端100,例如直接包括在PDCCH等上下行调度控制信道或RRC信令中。不同于由终端发起的上下行帧结构更改请求需要网络设备同意,由网络设备发起的这种更改直接通知终端即可。当然,终端也可以决定同意或者拒绝更改的响应消息,但考虑到网络设备有更多的全局信息且由网络设备进行资源调度,所以一般不建议这个步骤,这也是图6中在步骤502,终端100的‘对用于指示终端使用新的帧结构的信息的响应’以虚线表示的原因,表示终端一般不采用这个步骤,而是直接接受网络设备更改的上下行帧结构,然后在步骤503终端100与网络设备200就按照所更改的新的帧结构通信。
通常网络设备与终端在发送和接收用于指示所述终端使用新的帧结构的信息的下一帧更改为新的帧结构。特别地,网络设备发送的用于指示所述终端使用新的帧结构的信息中还可以包括帧结构更改起始的时间,这种情况下网络设备与终端会 在该帧结构更改起始的时间将帧结构更改为新的帧结构进行通信。
