Abstract
本申请公开了一种物理下行共享信道覆盖增强方法、装置及系统,涉及通信领域,用于用于实现unlicensed频点PDSCH的覆盖增强。物理下行共享信道覆盖增强方法包括:网络设备确定第一子帧中的R组资源块RB,每组RB均用于承载第一数据;所述网络设备向终端设备发送第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示所述R组RB在所述第一子帧中的位置;所述网络设备通过所述第一子帧中的R组RB向所述终端设备发送所述第一数据;其中,每组RB的RB数为N,为所述第一子帧的下行资源中的RB数,R、N均为自然数。本申请实施例应用于非授权频谱上。
Description
本申请涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH)覆盖增强方法和装置。
传统运营商一般都具有专属授权频点,即授权(licensed)频点,但由于频率资源日益稀缺,单纯的licensed频点已经不能满足目前的流量需求。例如随着人工智能、自动化办公的兴起,工厂、港口、仓库等应用场景对无线通信的需求也进一步增加。基于保密性、定制型的需求,这些场景不适宜接入传统运营商的licensed频点。并且由于licensed频点的稀缺,所以基于licensed频点建站成本较高。因此,基于非授权(unlicensed)频点部署LTE(long term evolution,长期演进)基站成为这些企业网络的直接选择。
同时,在工厂、港口、仓库等应用场景中,由于遮挡严重,需要对信号进行覆盖增强。现有技术中licensed频点的PDSCH覆盖增强一般通过时域上在多个连续下行子帧上重复发送相同数据来实现,这种方式会连续占用下行信道。
但是对于unlicensed频点来说,为了保证unlicensed频点可以被高效且公平的使用,频谱法规规定各网元在发送数据之前,需要执行先检测后发送(listen before talk,LBT),即先检测信道空闲后才可以发送。并且每次抢占信道后,最多只能发送有限时长,比如不能超过一个传输机会(transmission opportunity,TXOP)或最大连续占用时长(max continuous occupied time,MCOT)。使得在unlicensed频点上,不能保证PDSCH在连续下行子帧上重复发送。因此现有技术中licensed频点的PDSCH覆盖增强技术并不适用于unlicensed频点。

下面结合附图,对本申请实施例进行描述。
本申请实施例描述的网络架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请实施例的技术方案,并不构成对于本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题,同样适用。
本申请实施例既可以应用于时分双工(time division duplexing,TDD)的场景,也可以适用于频分双工(frequency division duplexing,FDD)的场景。
unlicensed频点的特点之一是允许不同单位和个人、不同制式的系统可以使用同一个频点,目前unlicensed频点主要由无线保真(wireless fidelity,WIFI)系统使用,参照图1中所示为基于unlicensed频点部署的LTE基站和WIFI共存场景之一。
因此为了保证unlicensed频点可以被高效且公平的使用,频谱法规规定各网元在发送数据之前,需要执行LBT(例如空闲信道评测(clear channel assessment,CCA)等),即检测信道空闲后才可以发送,并且每次抢占信道后,最多只能发送有限时长,比如不能超过一个TXOP或MCOT,一个TXOP或MCOT时长可以为10ms,8ms等。因此,虽然工作在unlicensed频点的系统可以采用FDD制式,即采用两个unlicensed频点分别用于上下行业务,但具体到一个unlicensed频点,不同系统之间是采用TDD的方式进行频率资源的复用。参照图2中所示为unlicensed频点上WIFI系统和LTE系统信道占用的示意图。
不同的国家和地区对unlicensed频谱有不同的法规约束,其中ETSI(European telecommunications standards institute,欧洲电信标准协会)频谱法规规定,在unlicensed频点上,各无线发射单元功率谱不能超过门限值,不同频段的法规限制如表1所示。
表1
注1:如果带宽全部落在5150-5250MHz,支持23dBm,否则支持20dBm
注2:如果带宽全部落在5150-5250MHz,支持10dBm,否则支持7dBm
注3:如果没有雷达干扰检测功能,则与5250-5350MHz频段的限制相同
即:对于5150~5350MHz带宽内,在使用TPC(transmit power control,发射功率控制)的场景,最大发射功率不能超过23dBm,最大功率谱密度不能超过10dBm/MHz,其它场景同理。
在LTE系统中,一个调度单位通常是多用户调度。上行用户发送可以通过频率资源离散化保证在满足功率谱的前提下,充分利用满功率发送,即用户上行数据可以尽量满功率发送。但当下行存在多用户调度时,功率在多用户间共享,所以下行单个用户一般无法满功率发送,因此存在用户上下行功率不一致的问题,下行信道覆盖更加受限。
PDSCH信道主要用于传输业务数据,也可以传输信令,其频域资源位置通过物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)或者增强物理下行控制信道(enhanced physical downlink control channel,EPDCCH)信道指示。LTE的PDSCH的资源分配方式分为3种类型,即类型0(type0)、类型1(type1)和类型2(type2),详细参见3GPP TS 36.213协议。
在LTE R13标准中,引入了增强型机器类通信(enhanced machine type communication,eMTC)标准,即在窄带系统中采用不同时间重复发送相同PDSCH数据的方案来实现PDSCH信道覆盖增强。具体参照图3中所示,窄带物理下行控制信道(narrowband physical downlink control channel,MPDCCH)在不同时间进行重复发送后,通过跨子帧调度来指示PDSCH重复发送的次数,使得PDSCH在多个连续下行子帧上重复发送。该方案要求下行信道连续占用,不适用于unlicense频谱的覆盖增强,unlicense频谱需要做LBT,并且每次信道抢占有TXOP的限制,因此不能保证PDSCH信道能够连续重复;另外该方案只有时域重复,且只涉及到窄带频谱,无法做频域重复增强。
可以通过PDSCH时域上重复传输同一数据来实现覆盖增强,也可以通过PDSCH频域上重复传输同一数据来实现覆盖增强。本申请实施例着重对频域上重复传输进行描述。可以解决unlicense频谱下PDSCH信道覆盖增强的问题。MulteFire联盟中所规定的系统带宽支持10MHz或20MHz,因此可以在宽带频谱上通过频域重复进行覆盖增强。另外,由于unlicense频谱关于功率谱密度和总发射功率的限制,比如1MHz带宽上功率不能超过10dBm,总发射功率不能超过23dBm,本申请实施例使得PDSCH信道能够满足功率谱密度法规并能够尽量以满功率发送。
参照图4中所示,为本申请实施例提供的通信系统的架构示意图,该通信系统包括网络设备、以及该网络设备管理的小区内的多个终端设备。其中,网络设备可以与这多个终端设备中的每个终端设备分别进行通信。上述
通信系统可以应用于目前的LTE或者LTE-A(long term evolution advanced,长期演进技术升级版)系统中,也可以应用于未来的其它网络中,比如未来的第五代(5rd-generation,5G)网络,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
具体的,本申请实施例中的终端设备可以是可移动的终端设备,也可以是不可移动的终端设备。该设备可分布于不同的网络中,主要用于接收或者发送业务数据。其中,在不同的网络中终端设备有不同的名称,例如:用户设备(user equipment,UE)、移动台、用户单元、站台、蜂窝电话、个人数字助理、无线调制解调器、无线通信设备、手持设备、膝上型电脑、无绳电话、无线本地环路台等。该终端设备可以经无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)与一个或多个核心网进行通信,例如与无线接入网交换语音和/或数据。
具体的,本申请实施例中的网络设备是一种部署在无线接入网用以提供无线通信功能的装置。例如在LTE系统或者LTE-A系统中提供基站功能的设备包括演进的节点B(evolved nodeB,eNB)。
具体的,图1所示的通信系统中的网络设备和终端设备可以通过图5中的通信设备(或系统)来实现。

通信总线502可包括一通路,在上述组件之间传送信息。
通信接口504,使用任何收发器一类的装置,用于与其他设备或通信网络通信,如以太网,无线接入网(radio access network,RAN),无线局域网(wireless local area networks,WLAN)等。
存储器503可以是只读存储器(read-only memory,ROM)或可存储静态信息和指令的其他类型的静态存储设备,随机存取存储器(random access memory,RAM)或者可存储信息和指令的其他类型的动态存储设备,也可以是电可擦可编程只读存储器(electrically erasable programmable read-only memory,EEPROM)、只读光盘(compact disc read-only memory,CD-ROM)或其他光盘存储、光碟存储(包括压缩光碟、激光碟、光碟、数字通用光碟、蓝光光碟等)、磁盘存储介质或者其他磁存储设备、或者能够用于携带或存储具有指令或数据结构形式的期望的程序代码并能够由计算机存取的任何其他介质,但不限于此。存储器可以是独立存在,通过总线与处理器相连接。存储器也可以和处理器集成在一起。
其中,存储器503用于存储执行本申请方案的应用程序代码,并由处理器501来控制执行。处理器501用于执行存储器503中存储的应用程序代码,从而实现本申请实施例中所述的下行信号传输方法。
在具体实现中,作为一种实施例,处理器501可以包括一个或多个CPU,例如图5中的CPU0和CPU1。
在具体实现中,作为一种实施例,通信设备500可以包括多个处理器,例如图5中的处理器501和处理器508。这些处理器中的每一个可以是一个单核(single-CPU)处理器,也可以是一个多核(multi-CPU)处理器。这里的处理器可以指一个或多个设备、电路、和/或用于处理数据(例如计算机程序指令)的处理核。

本申请实施例提供了一种物理下行共享信道覆盖增强方法,应用于unlicense频谱,参照图6中所示,包括:
本申请实施例所述的第一数据和第一子帧均是针对同一用户来说。R组RB中各组RB中承载的数据相同,并且均为第一数据,即相当于在一个第一子帧中确定将第一数据重复传输R次。
网络设备可以有多种方式来确定R组资源块。具体的,可以根据覆盖增强的需要,所述需要可以是终端设备基于接收信号的强度选择的随机接入的前导码,或者是终端设备通过调度请求消息通知网络设备终端设备移动到需要覆盖增强的区域,网络设备对该终端进行覆盖增强。
S102、网络设备向终端设备发送第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示上述R组RB在第一子帧中的位置。
由于是在同一子帧的不同组RB上进行传输,所以网络设备需要告知终端设备上述R组RB所在的位置,具体的可以通过下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)来指示。上述R组RB可以分布于第一子帧中不同的下行频域资源上。进一步的,上述R组RB可以等间隔分布于第一子帧的下行频域资源上,或者,上述R组RB可以连续分布于第一子帧的下行频域资源上。
S103、终端设备接收第一指示信息。
S104、网络设备通过第一子帧中的R组RB向终端设备发送第一数据。
S105、终端设备通过第一子帧中的R组RB接收第一数据。
本申请实施例提供的物理下行共享信道覆盖增强方法,通过第一子帧中的R组RB来传输第一数据,每组RB均用于承载第一数据,本质上通过PDSCH频域上重复传输同一数据来实现PDSCH覆盖增强。由于通过频域重复,可以减小时域重复次数,甚至可以不使用时域重复,更加适应于unlicensed频谱。
下面着重对步骤S102中所述的R组RB在第一子帧中的位置进行详细描述。
对于第一子帧的下行资源中的RB数为(10M带宽时20M带宽时),将其分为J个簇(cluster),J为自然数。如果能被J整除,则连续的M个RB组成一个簇(cluster),每个cluster内RB标号分别为0~M-1,为向下取整符号。然后将各个cluster中相同编号的RB组成一个交叉资源组(interlace),则每个interlace中有J个RB,interlace索引为0~M-1。其中,interlace为MulteFire联盟引入的资源分配方式;如果不能被J整除,则连续的M个RB组成一个cluster,每个cluster内RB标号分别为0~M-1,剩余的个RB,对其编号为在资源分配上,采用预定义的方式,剩余的个RB中编号为的RB和J个簇内编号为的RB分别构成interlace,即索引为的interlace内包含J+1个RB,索引为的interlace内包含J个RB。
比如20MHz带宽对应100个RB(即),则可以将100个RB平均分成10份(即J=10),每份称为一个cluster,每个cluster内10个RB(即),索引为0~9。也可以将100个RB分成16份(即J=16),每份称为一个cluster,每个cluster内6个RB(即),索引为0~5,剩余4个RB,索引为0~3,则索引为0~3的interlace中包含17个RB,索引为4~5的interlace中包含16个RB。示例性的参照图7中所示,为M=10时上述下行资源分配的一种示例。
第一种方式。一个用户的第一数据固定占用1个interlace,即R组RB占用一个interlace,相当于R组RB等间隔分布于第一子帧的下行频域资源上。根据第一数据的传输块大小(transport block size,TBS)(如表2中的ITBS),调整第一数据的调制与编码策略(modulation and coding scheme,MCS)等级,使第一数据能够在1个RB上承载(即N=1,并且R=J,对应于表2中的NPRB=1),并且能够在1个interlace上重复发送,MCS的选取范围如表2所示:
表2
在DCI中指示MCS等级以及interlace的标识K,其中的MCS等级用于指示第一数据的MCS等级,interlace的标识K用于指示R组RB占用标识为K的interlace,且K为自然数。示例性的,可以修改DCI中的资源块分配指示(resource block assignment)的含义用于指示interlace的标识K,例如对于图7中的下行频域资源来说,当其取值为0时即表示占用交叉资源组0;可以修改DCI中的MCS索引的含义用于指示上述MCS等级,在此不再赘述。
第一种方式更加适应于传输块大小较小的数据包,如ITBS<6时,采用该方式,不仅可以在一个RB上获取编码增益,并可以通过重复R次获取重复增益。
第二种方式。一个用户的第一数据固定占用1个interlace,即R组RB均占用一个interlace,相当于R组RB等间隔分布于第一子帧的下行频域资源上,更进一步的,R组RB按照RB等间隔分布于第一子帧的下行频域资源上,例如,每组内的RB之间的间隔,以及各RB组之间的间隔都是相同的。且固定MCS等级为0(如表3中的MCS),根据第一数据的TBS(如表3中的ITBS),调整第一数据对应的每组RB中的RB个数N,并且N*R=J。对于首次发送未占满的RB,用户可以继续重复发送。假设1个interlace中有16个RB,则RB的选取范围如表3所示:
表3
如果1个interlace中有10个RB,则RB的选取范围如表4所示:
表4
除了如第一种方式所述的在DCI中指示MCS等级以及interlace的标识K以外,还需要DCI还用于指示每组RB中的RB个数N。示例性的,可以修改DCI中的资源块分配指示的含义用于指示每组RB中的RB个数N。
另外,由于N*R=J,而每个interlace中的RB数J是固定的,因此对于20MHz带宽对应100个RB来说,如果1个interlace中含有RB个数J为10,
则可能的每组RB中的RB个数以及RB组数R(即重复次数R)的对应关系如表5所示:
表5
N | 1 | 2 | 5 | 10 |
R | 10 | 5 | 2 | 1 |
对于20MHz带宽对应100个RB来说,如果假设1个interlace中含有RB个数J为16,则可能的每组RB中的RB个数以及RB组数R(即重复次数R)的对应关系如表6所示:
表6
N | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 |
R | 16 | 8 | 4 | 2 |
需要说明的是,对于MCS=0时,可以通过调度算法尽量占满一个interlace中的J个RB,当J-n*N<N(即每个interlace中剩余RB数不能构成一组RB)时,剩余的RB不再用于传输第一数据,其中,n为自然数。
第二种方式与第一种方式的区别在于,第一种方式相当于第二种方式中N=1的特例。示例性的,参照图8中所示,为第二种方式中M=10,J=10,N=2,R=5,K=0的下行资源分配的一种示例。从中可以看出100个RB可以划分为10个簇,每个簇10个RB(M=10),K=0的interlace中有10个RB0(J=10);由于N=2,所以第一簇和第二簇的RB0作为第一组RB,第三簇和第四簇的RB0作为第二组RB,依次类推,共有5组RB(即第一数据可以重复发送5次)。
第一种方式和第二种方式在已有下行资源分配方式外引入了一种新的资源分配方式,在unlicensed频谱上,通过占用不同cluster上资源块,可以在满足频谱法规的要求下实现满功率发送,以满足覆盖要求。第二种方式保证MCS等级始终为0,通过配置每组RB中RB个数N,可以获取编码增益,并通过重复R次获取重复增益,在传输块大小选择上更加灵活。
第三种方式,R组RB不再按照interlace分布,而是等间隔分布于第一子帧的下行频域资源上,更进一步的,R组RB按组等间隔分布于第一子帧的下行频域资源上,具体如图9中所示。此时需要在DCI中指示每组RB中的RB个数N,RB组数R,相邻两组RB之间间隔的RB数IRB,最低频域位置的一组RB的最低RB索引示例性的,参照图10中所示,为第三种方式中N=2,IRB=5,R=4的下行资源分配的一种示例。从中可以看出,最低从RB5开始有数据传输每组有2个RB(N=2),各级之间间隔5个RB(IRB=5,例如第一组RB与第二组RB之间间隔RB7-RB11),一共有4组RB(R=4,即重复发送次数为4)。
第三种方式在unlicensed频谱上,通过网络侧的调度,可以保证下行PDSCH在满足频谱法规的要求下,能够以最大功率发送,并且相比于前两种方式,可以实现更大的灵活性。
第四种方式。R组RB连续分布于第一子帧的下行频域资源上。相当于一共占用N*R个连续的RB,具体如图11中所示。此时需要在DCI中指示每组RB中的RB个数N,RB组数R,最低频域位置的一组RB的最低RB索引参照图12中所示,为第四种方式中N=2,R=4的下行资源分配的一种示例。从中可以看出,最低从RB5开始有数据传输每组有2个RB(N=2),一共有4组RB(R=4,即重复发送次数为4)。
第四种方式在unlicensed频谱上,通过网络侧的调度,可以保证下行PDSCH能够在连续的资源上进行重复,但发送功率谱密度需要满足频谱法规,因此无法保证该用户PDSCH能够以最大功率发送,但同样可以获得频域重复的增益,并且资源块连续分配,可以与上述三种资源分配方式更好的融合,即当需要同时对非覆盖增强用户和覆盖增强用户进行资源分配时,如果余下的下行资源不能满足离散化分配,则可以按照第四种方式所述进行连续资源分配。
第五种方式,第一数据为经过直接序列扩频后的数据,然后对扩频后的数据进行上述任意一种方式的资源分配。本方式由于扩频后需要占用更多的频域资源,从而实现频域重复的目的,同时也可以获得频域分集的增益。
扩频通常包括直接序列扩频、跳频扩频、跳时扩频等。第五种方式结合unlicensed频点上覆盖增强的需求,通过在DCI中指示资源分配方式和扩频码,可以实现同时使用直接序列扩频和跳频扩频。
假设第一数据原始序列为a0,a1,a2,a3…a(A-1),A为原始序列长度,直接序列扩频的扩频码为k0,k1,k2,…k(B-1),B为扩频码序列长度,则扩频后的数据长度LEN=A*B,扩频后数据为c0,c1,c2,c3,…c(LEN-1),其中c0=a0*(k0,k1,k2,…kB-1),c1=a1*(k0,k1,k2,…kB-1)…,对扩频后的数据符号c0,c1,c2,…c(LEN-1)的资源映射方式由第一指示信息(DCI)指示。在与上述每一种方式结合时,第一指示信息除了指示对应信息以外,还需要指示扩频码序列或扩频码序列索引。如果网络设备在系统信息(system information,SI)消息中下发了扩频码序列表格,或者通过协议规定了扩频码序列表格,则在DCI中需要配置扩频码序列索引;如果网络设备在SI消息中没有下发扩频码序列表格,或者没有通过协议规定扩频码序列表格,则在DCI中需要配置扩频码序列。
第五种方式通过扩频码实现频域重复发送,不仅可以实现频域重复发送,并且可以通过在相同资源上使用不同的扩频序列,实现用户数据间的复用。
