Description
本申请要求于2017年03月24日提交中国专利局、申请号为201710184796.4、发明名称为“资源处理方法和装置”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。
本申请涉及通信技术,尤其涉及一种资源处理方法和装置。
在波束成型技术中,可以通过控制射频(Radio frequency,RF)链路在空间上朝向特定的方向发送波束,来实现更高的天线阵列增益。因此,波束成型技术成为减少通信传输时的损耗的研究热点。但是,波束成型技术中,在一个正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)符号对应的时间范围内,一个RF链路打出的波束只能朝向一个方向。即,在一个符号对应的时间范围内,一个RF链路无法向两个方向发送波束。
在通信系统中,终端设备在接收或发送数据之前,需要获取网络设备配置给该终端设备的承载在公共搜索空间中的下行控制信息。公共搜索空间占用的时频资源被划分为多个控制信道单元(Control Channel Element,CCE),且构成公共搜索空间的CCE通常分布在不同的符号对应的频域资源上。即公共搜索空间中承载的下行控制信息可能分布在不同符号对应的频域资源上。
因此,当将波束成型技术应用在通信系统中时,以网络设备仅有一个RF链路发送波束为例,当公共搜索空间占用的符号所对应的波束均朝向第一方向时,仅第一方向上的终端设备可以检测到公共搜索空间,其他方向上的终端设备无法检测到公共搜索空间;当公共搜索空间占用的符号所对应的波束朝向不同的方向时,分布在不同方向上的每个终端设备都检测不到完整的公共搜索空间。但是,网络设备的RF链路的数目远小于终端设备可能所在的方向的数目,即使不同的RF链路朝向不同的方向,仍存在无法覆盖所有可能的方向的问题。因此,现有技术中,当终端设备分布在不同的方向上时,存在部分方向上的终端设备检测不到完整公共搜索空间,进而无法接收到承载在公共搜索空间中的下行控制信息的问题。
发明内容
本申请提供一种资源处理方法和装置,用于解决在将波束成型技术应用到现有通信系统中时,存在部分方向上的终端设备检测不到完整公共搜索空间,进而无法接收到承载在公共搜索空间中的下行控制信息的问题。
本申请一方面提供一种资源处理方法,应用于网络设备,包括:
网络设备根据终端设备所在的方向的信息,确定需要发送的至少两个波束;
确定至少两个波束中每个波束对应的时频资源;
在各波束对应的时频资源中划定作为公共搜索空间的时频资源,公共搜索空间对应的部分时频资源, 用于承载向终端设备发送的控制信息。
网络设备根据需要接收到控制信息的终端设备的方向信息,确定需要发送的至少两个波束,所述至少两个波束用于保证各需要接收控制信息的终端设备都能接收到控制信息。网络设备根据终端设备所在的方向的数量,适应性的调整波束的数量。通过为各波束分配一个公共搜索空间,使得终端设备分布在不同方向时,各终端设备均可检测到完整的公共搜索空间。同时,使得网络设备在不增加射频链路的情况下,可在一个子帧内发送更多的波束,增加了覆盖范围,加快了控制信息的发送速度,减少了控制信息的传输延时。
在一种可能的实施方式中,资源处理方法还包括:
网络设备向终端设备发送资源位置信息;资源位置信息用于指示公共搜索空间在时频资源上的位置。
通过将公共搜索空间的资源位置信息直接发送给终端设备,使得终端设备可直接根据资源位置信息,确定公共搜索空间,无需计算公共搜索空间的位置,减少了终端设备的工作量,提高了终端设备接收承载在公共搜索空间中的控制信息的速度。
在一种可能的实施方式中,资源位置信息用于指示,承载在公共搜索空间中的控制信息在公共搜索空间中占用的物理下行控制信道在公共搜索空间对应的时频资源上的位置。
通过将公共搜索空间中承载有多个终端设备待接收的下行控制信息的物理下行控制信道的资源位置信息直接发送给终端设备,使得终端设备可直接进行校验,获取承载在物理下行控制信道中的下行控制,而无需进行盲检,可以减少终端设备的盲检次数、降低下行控制信息检测的复杂度。
在一种可能的实施方式中,控制信息中包含下行控制信息,下行控制信息用于指示终端设备的上下行数据传输的配置参数。
在一种可能的实施方式中,下行控制信息还中包含控制信道符号信息。
通过在公共搜索空间中承载下行控制信息,并将控制信道符号信息作为下行控制信息的一部分,使得终端设备可根据接收到的控制信道符号信息确定网络设备发送参考信号、下行控制信息及混合自动重传请求反馈信息占用的符号的信息,以及网络设备发送数据信息时占用的符号的信息。
在一种可能的实施方式中,资源处理方法还包括:
网络设备在每个公共搜索空间中都映射一个下行控制信息。
在一种可能的实施方式中,映射在各公共搜索空间中的下行控制信息为小区中至少一个终端设备通用的下行控制信息。示例性的,如系统信息或寻呼信息。
在一种可能的实施方式中,映射在各公共搜索空间中的下行控制信息可以为特定终端设备的下行控制信息。此时,网络设备通过高层信令通知终端设备该下行控制信息占用的资源位置信息,以及进行冗余循环检查校验的标识,以使终端设备根据资源位置信息和标识,来接收该下行控制信息。
通过在所有公共搜索空间中都映射一个下行控制信息,使得各波束对应的方向上的终端设备均可检测到公共搜索空间,并可进一步接收到承载公共搜索空间中的下行控制信息。
在一种可能的实施方式中,网络设备确定需要发送的至少两个波束,包括:
网络设备根据控制信息的类型,确定需要发送的至少两个波束;或者,
网络设备根据终端设备所在的方向信息,确定需要发送的至少两个波束;或者,
网络设备根据波束的宽度,确定需要发送的至少两个波束。
在一种可能的实施方式中,网络设备确定至少两个波束中每个波束对应的时频资源,具体包括:
网络设备确定至少两个波束中每个波束对应的符号组,根据符号组对应的时频资源得到至少两个波束中每个波束对应的时频资源,每个符号组包括至少一个符号;
各公共搜索空间对应的部分时频资源分布在各符号组内的至少一个符号上。
在一种可能的实施方式中,符号为时域中划分时频资源的最小单位。
在一种可能的实施方式中,资源位置信息包括至少一个符号组信息,以及与各符号组信息对应的频域资源信息。
通过向终端设备发送各公共搜索空间的符号组信息和对应的频域资源信息,使得终端设备可直接根据符号组信息和频域资源信息确定公共搜索空间的位置信息,也使得网络设备在时频资源中确定各波束对应的公共搜索空间时,可灵活设置不同波束对应的公共搜索空间的位置。
在一种可能的实施方式中,资源处理方法还包括:
网络设备在每个波束对应的时频资源中确定部分时频资源,用于承载控制帧格式指示信息,控制帧格式指示信息用于指示控制信道符号信息,用于承载控制帧格式指示信息的部分时频资源与公共搜索空间对应的部分时频资源不重叠。
由于各波束对应的时频资源中承载有控制帧格式指示信息,方便了终端设备根据控制帧格式指示信息获取各波束对应时频资源中的公共搜索空间的资源位置信息,因此,各符号对应的公共搜索空间在时频资源中的位置可以不同,具有较高的灵活性。也避免了网络设备向终端设备发送各符号对应的公共搜索空间的资源位置信息,减少了信令开销。
在一种可能的实施方式中,资源处理方法还包括:
网络设备在每个波束对应的时频资源中确定部分时频资源,作为专用搜索空间;专用搜索空间对应的部分时频资源,用于承载需要一个终端设备接收的控制信息。

图1为本申请实施例适用的网络架构实施例一的示意图。如图1所示,本实施例提供的网络架构包括网络设备10和至少一个终端设备20。
其中,网络设备10是一种将终端设备20接入到无线网络的设备,可以是全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile communication,简称GSM)或码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,简称CDMA)中的基站(Base Transceiver Station,简称BTS),也可以是宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,简称WCDMA)中的基站(NodeB,简称NB),还可以是长期演进(Long Term Evolution,简称LTE)中的演进型基站(Evolutional Node B,简称eNB或eNodeB),或者中继站或接入点,或者未来第五代移动通信(the 5th Generation Mobile Communication,5G)网络中的基站等,本申请在此并不限定。图1示意性的绘出了一种可能的示意,以网络设备10为基站为例进行了绘示。
终端设备20可以是无线终端也可以是有线终端,无线终端可以为向用户提供语音和/或其他业务数据连通性的设备,具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备。无线终 端可以经无线接入网(Radio Access Network,简称RAN)与一个或多个核心网进行通信,无线终端可以是移动终端,如移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)和具有移动终端的计算机,例如,可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置,它们与无线接入网交换语言和/或数据。例如,个人通信业务(Personal Communication Service,简称PCS)电话、无绳电话、会话发起协议(Session Initiation Protocol,简称SIP)话机、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop,简称WLL)站、个人数字助理(Personal Digital Assistant,简称PDA)等设备。无线终端也可以称为系统、订户单元(Subscriber Unit)、订户站(Subscriber Station),移动站(Mobile Station)、移动台(Mobile)、远程站(Remote Station)、远程终端(Remote Terminal)、接入终端(Access Terminal)、用户终端(User Terminal)、用户代理(User Agent),本申请在此不作限定。图1示意性的绘出了一种可能的示意,以终端设备20为移动电话为例进行了绘示。
在LTE系统或5G系统中,终端设备20在接收或发送数据信息之前,需要获知网络设备10配置给该终端设备20的下行控制信息(Downlink control information,DCI)。DCI用于指示终端设备如何进行下行的数据接收以及上行的数据传输。DCI示例性的可以包括终端设备进行上下行数据传输时使用的资源、调制方式,码率等信息。网络设备10在发送DCI时,通常将DCI承载在物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control channel,PDCCH)上发送,下面对DCI传输的具体实现方式及本申请涉及到的相关基础概念进行详细说明。
在LTE系统或5G系统中,信息在发送时占用一定时间和带宽,可被信息占用的所有时间和带宽称为时频资源。时频资源在时域上,以无线帧(radio frame)为单位进行划分。信息的发送以无线帧为单位,一个无线帧包括10个子帧(subframe),每一个子帧的长度为1毫秒(ms),每个子帧均包括两个时隙(slot),每个slot为0.5ms。每个slot包括的符号的个数与子帧中循环前缀(cyclic prefix,CP)长度相关。如果CP为normal(普通)CP,则每个slot包括7个符号,每个子帧由14个符号组成,例如,每个子帧由序号分别为#0,#1,#2,#3,#4,#5,#6,#7,#8,#9,#10,#11,#12,#13的符号组成。如果CP为extended(长)CP,每个slot包括6个符号,每个子帧由12个符号组成,例如每个子帧由序号分别为#0,#1,#2,#3,#4,#5,#6,#7,#8,#9,#10,#11的符号组成。时频资源在频域上的最小单元为子载波,分布在一个符号对应的时间范围内的子载波,构成了该符号对应的频域资源,所有符号对应的频域资源构成时频资源。资源单元(Resource Element,RE)是划分时频资源的最小的单元,由索引对(k,l)唯一标识。其中,k为子载波索引,l为符号索引。当然,资源单元也可以通过其他形式的标识来标识。4个连续的RE(不计算参考信号所占用的时频资源在内)构成1个资源元素组(Resource Element Group,REG)。构成REG的RE可占用不同的符号。
网络设备10在发送DCI的同时,通常还发送控制格式指示(Control Formation Indication,CFI)信息,参考信号(Reference signal,RS)和混合自动重传请求(Hybrid auto repeat request,HARQ)反馈信息等信息。DCI、RS、CFI、HARQ反馈信息等信息在发送时通常占用一个子帧的前N个符号,N的取值示例性的可以为1、2或3。本申请以下各实施例中将上述DCI、RS、CFI、HARQ反馈信息等信息占用的符号称为控制信道所在符号。所有控制信道所在符号对应的频域资源构成控制资源。
示例性的,网络设备10还可在控制信道所在符号对应的时间范围内,同时发送数据信息。此时,本申请以下各实施例中的资源处理方法仍适用,只是仅针对除数据信息占用的时频资源外的其他时频资源进行分析。此时,在所有控制信道所在符号对应的频域资源中,除数据信息占用的频域资源外,剩余的频域资源构成控制资源。各符号对应的频域资源也仅指示除数据信息占用的频域资源外,剩余的频域资源。本申请以下各实施例以控制信道所在符号对应的时间范围内,仅发送DCI、RS、CFI、HARQ反 馈信息等信息为例,对本申请提出的资源处理方法进行示例性的说明。
其中,CFI承载在物理控制格式指示信道(Physical Control Formation Indication Channel,PCFICH)上。CFI用于指示网络设备10发送CFI、RS、DCI、HARQ反馈等信息时所占的符号数,即控制信道所在符号总数。CFI的取值示例性的可以为{1,2,3}中的任一个。终端设备20在接收到CFI后,可根据CFI确定控制信道所在符号总数。还可根据CFI确定数据信息的起始符号,即一个子帧中从第几个符号开始传输数据信息。承载CFI的PCFICH通常映射在子帧的第一个符号对应的频域资源上,使得CFI在子帧的第一个符号对应的时间范围内发送。终端设备20接收到CFI,从而可根据CFI确定控制信道所在符号总数,进而确定总控制资源。
其中,HARQ反馈信息承载在物理混合自动重传请求信道指示信道(Physical HARQ indication channel,PHICH)上。HARQ反馈信息为网络设备10对终端设备20之前发送的上行数据的接收的反馈。承载HARQ反馈信息的PHICH通常映射在子帧的第一个符号对应的频域资源上,使得HARQ反馈信息在子帧的第一个符号对应的时间范围内发送。
其中,RS用于帮助终端设备20解调得到CFI、DCI、HARQ反馈信息等承载在信道上传输的信息。终端设备20在接收到RS时,根据RS测量发送信息的信道的质量。信道质量用于辅助终端设备解调出承载在信道上的信息。RS通常映射在子帧的第一个符号对应的频域资源上,一个RS占用至少一个RE。控制资源内映射的RS的数量由网络设备10的天线数目、标识等因素决定。此处,天线可以为天线端口,或实际的物理天线。天线端口是指用于传输的逻辑端口,它可以对应一个或多个实际的物理天线。
综上,在控制资源中,映射有PCFICH、PHICH、RS和PDCCH。PCFICH、PHICH和RS占用部分控制资源,剩余的控制资源中的部分或全部可以作为PDCCH的可用资源。控制信道元素(control channel element,CCE)是PDCCH占用控制资源时的最小单元。一个PDCCH占用至少一个CCE。1个CCE包括9个REG。由于构成CCE的REG可分布在不同的符号对应的频域资源上;或者,当构成CCE的REG分布在同一个符号对应的频域资源上时,PDCCH可占用分布在不同的符号对应的频域资源上的CCE;因此PDCCH可占用不同的符号对应的频域资源。
终端设备20在接收DCI之前,可首先根据CFI确定控制信道所在符号总数,进而确定总控制资源。在总控制资源中减去RS、PHICH和PCFICH分别占用的控制资源,即可确定可供PDCCH占用的控制资源,即PDCCH的可用资源。LTE系统在PDCCH可占用的控制资源中划定了两种搜索空间,分别是公共搜索空间和专用搜索空间。
其中,公共搜索空间是指小区内所有终端设备20都需要监听的空间,各终端设备20监听公共搜索空间,检测其中是否承载有自己期待的承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI。公共搜索空间中承载的DCI主要用于指示一些小区内所有终端设备20共同的或者多个终端设备20通用的信息,如系统信息、寻呼信息等。公共搜索空间中包括至少一个PDCCH,承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI具体承载在公共搜索空间包括的PDCCH中的任一PDCCH上。
各终端设备20分别监听自己的专用搜索空间,检测其中是否承载有自己期待的承载在专用搜索空间中的DCI。专用搜索空间中承载的DCI是为了指示针对特定终端设备20的信息,例如下行资源分配指示信息、上行调度授权信息。专用搜索空间也包括至少一个PDCCH,承载在专用搜索空间中的DCI同样具体承载在专用搜索空间包括的PDCCH中的任一PDCCH上。
值得注意的是,公共搜索空间和专用搜索空间包括的PDCCH可能重叠,也即可能存在公共PDCCH即属于公共搜索空间,也属于专用搜索空间。网络设备10可将计划在公共搜索空间中承载的DCI设置为由该公共PDCCH承载,也可将计划在专用搜索空间中承载的DCI设置为由该公共PDCCH承载。示 例性的,当终端设备20进行DCI接收时,终端设备20在检测公共搜索空间时,需检测该公共PDCCH中是否承载有DCI。若该公共PDCCH中已承载有DCI,则终端设备20在检测专用搜索空间时,则无需检测该公共PDCCH。若该公共PDCCH中未承载有DCI,则终端设备20在检测专用搜索空间时,还需检测该公共PDCCH中是否承载有DCI。可选的,网络设备20还可直接对专用搜索空间中包括的所有PDCCH进行检测。可选的,公共PDCCH的数量可以为多个。
LTE系统中,公共搜索空间包括16个CCE,并且约定公共搜索空间中CCE的聚合等级(Aggregation level,AL)只有4和8两种。聚合等级用于指示公共搜索空间中以多少个CCE为一个单元来承载信息,即一个PDCCH占用的CCE数量。例如,当AL设置为8时,一个PDCCH包括8个CCE,一个公共搜索空间中可包括两个PDCCH,两个PDCCH分别占用编号为0至7的CCE,以及编号为8至15的CCE。终端设备20在检索公共搜索空间时,也不清楚公共搜索空间的AL,因此,需分别以4个和8个CCE为单位在公共搜索空间中进行检索。当认为AL=8时,只需在编号为0至7的CCE,以及编号为8至15的CCE上进行两次冗余循环检查(Cyclic redundancy check,CRC)校验。当认为AL=4时,只需在编号为0至3的CCE、4至7的CCE、8至11的CCE,以及编号为12至15的CCE上进行四次CRC校验。这一过程可称为终端设备20的盲检过程。终端设备20只需最多进行6次CRC校验即可检索完公共搜索空间。
专用搜索空间的聚合级别可以为1、2、4、8中任一种,对应的专用搜索空间的CCE总数分别为6、12、8、16。参考上述公共搜索空间中的盲检工作量的计算,可知,终端设备20为获取承载在专用搜索空间中的DCI信息,需最多进行(6/1+12/2+8/4+16/8)=16次盲检。一个专用搜索空间中也可包括至少一个PDCCH。一个PDCCH占用的CCE数量取决于聚合等级。
故LTE系统中,可供PDCCH占用的控制资源中包括一个公共搜索空间和各终端设备20各自对应的专用搜索空间。
其中,CRC校验过程具体如下:
在接收DCI时,终端设备20知道自己当前处于何种状态以及在该状态下期待收到的DCI信息。例如当终端设备20在空闲状态时,期待收到的DCI信息为寻呼信息(Paging);终端设备20在发起随机接入请求后,期待接收到的DCI信息是随机接入响应信息(Random Access Channel Response,RACH Response);终端设备20在有上行数据待发送时期待接收到的DCI信息为上行调度授权等。对于不同的期望信息,终端设备20用相应的X-RNTI(Radio Network Temporary Identifier,无线网络临时身份认证),根据上述盲检方式,进行CRC校验。其中X指示终端设备20期待接收的信息的类型,如当终端设备20期待接收到RACH Response(RA)时,终端设备采用RA-RNTI进行CRC校验。如果CRC校验成功,那么终端设备20可确定当前DCI信息是自己期待的,也知道了相应的DCI格式,从而进一步获取DCI信息中指示的内容。其中,当终端设备20期待接收到的DCI承载在公共搜索空间中时,DCI采用用户组(小区、小区内分组)性质的RNTI,如RA-RNTI。当终端设备20期待接收到承载在专用搜索空间中的DCI时,X可采用终端设备20的标识。
结合上述介绍,下面对DCI的传输方法进行简单说明。图2为通信系统中一种控制资源映射结构示意图。
图2示意性的示出了通信系统中一种控制资源映射结构。其中,横轴方向为时域,一个小方格在时域上表示一个符号,纵轴方向上为频域,一个符号对应的频域资源取决于系统带宽。图2中纵轴方向上仅示意性的对频域进行了划分,也仅示出了部分频域资源。如图2所示,参考信号RS、承载CFI的PCFICH,以及PHICH均映射在子帧的第一个符号对应的频域资源上。PDCCH的可用资源分布在不同的符号上, 参考图2,分布在3个符号上。因此,公共搜索空间同样可能分布在3个符号对应的频域资源上。
示例性的,终端设备20基于上述控制资源的映射关系,在进行DCI的接收时,具体包括:
S201、终端设备20接收RS,承载在PHICH上的HARQ反馈信息,以及承载在PCFICH上的CFI。
S202、终端设备20根据CFI,以及PCFICH、RS、PHICH各自占用的资源信息,获取CCE索引。
具体的,终端设备20首先根据系统带宽和CFI的取值计算出第L个子帧中控制信道所在符号所对应的可用REG数N
REG,L,即该子帧的总控制资源数。然后在N
REG,L中减去PCFICH和PHICH所占用的REG数,即可得到第L个子帧中PDCCH的可用CCE数
其中,L为大于0的正整数,
表示对*进行向下取整。终端设备20可根据N
REG,L以及LTE协议中的约定,得到PDCCH的可用CCE的索引,即N
REG,L中每个CCE的编号。
S203、终端设备20根据CCE的索引,在第L个子帧的公共搜索空间中盲检,获取承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI。
具体的,终端设备20根据CCE的索引及LTE协议约定,确定公共搜索空间所占用的16个CCE各自的编号,然后在该16个CCE内进行最多6次盲检,以获取承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI。
S204、终端设备20在盲检成功后,在专用搜索空间中盲检,获取承载在专用搜索空间中的DCI。
具体的,终端设备20根据CCE索引及LTE协议约定,确定专用搜索空间的起始CCE的编号。然后从该CCE处起,进行最多16次盲检,以获取承载在专用搜索空间中的DCI。例如,当AL=2时,对应的专用搜索空间的CCE总数为12。则从该编号为n的CCE处起,在编号为n至n+11的CCE上,检索是否存在承载在专用搜索空间中的DCI。且检索过程中将编号为n和n+1的CCE聚合为一个检索单元,编号为n+2和n+3的CCE聚合为一个检索单元,编号为n+4和n+5的CCE聚合为一个检索单元,依此类推,当AL=2时共检索6次。其中,n为非负整数。
终端设备20在得到承载在公共搜索空间和专用搜索空间中的DCI后,可根据接收到的DCI进行数据信息的接收和/或发送。
波束成型技术是一种,通过控制RF链路在空间上朝向特定的方向发送波束,来实现更高的天线阵列增益的技术。波束成型技术可减少高频通信传输中的损耗,是未来通信系统的发展方向。在波束成型技术中,在同一时刻,一个RF链路打出的波束只能朝向一个方向。即,在同一时刻,一个RF链路无法向两个方向发送波束。本申请以下实施例中仅以符号为最小时间单位进行示例性说明,即在同一符号对应的时间范围内,一个RF链路无法向两个方向发送波束。当最小时间单位发生改变时,本申请以下各实施例仍可适用。
终端设备20的位置可能在网络设备10的任意方向上,且网络设备10通常需要服务分布在不同方向的多个终端设备20,如,向一个小区内的所有终端设备20发送DCI。但是,LTE系统中,仅在时频资源上约定了一个公共搜索空间。且该公共搜索空间可能跨符号分布,即构成公共搜索空间的CCE分布在不同符号对应的频域资源上。构成CCE的REG也可能分布在不同符号对应的频域资源上。因此,公共搜索空间中承载的DCI可能分布在不同符号对应的频域资源上。
当RF链路在一个子帧对应的时间范围内均朝向第一方向发送波束时,仅第一方向上的终端设备20可以成功检测到公共搜索空间,其他方向上的终端设备20无法检测到公共搜索空间。进一步地,即使存在多个RF链路,各RF链路朝向不同的方向,网络设备的RF链路的数目远小于终端设备可能所在的方向的数目,仍存在部分方向上的终端设备20无法检测到公共搜索空间。
当RF链路在一个子帧对应的时间范围内朝向不同的方向发送波束时,由于公共搜索空间跨符号分布,以及公共搜索空间中承载的DCI可能分布在不同符号对应的频域资源上,因此分布在不同方向上 的每个终端设备20可能无法检测到完整的公共搜索空间,从而导致无法成功接收承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI。
示例性的,参照图2,当网络设备10的RF链路在符号#0、#1、#2对应的时间范围内保持波束发送方向一致,则仅位于该发送方向上的终端设备20可能检测到公共搜索空间和专用搜索空间。当RF链路在符号#0、#1、#2对应的时间范围内改变波束发送方向时,由于公共搜索空间占用的资源通常分布在符号#0、#1、#2对应的频域资源上,则没有终端设备20可正确检测到公共搜索空间。
因此,在LTE系统中应用波束成型技术时,当终端设备20分布在不同的方向上时,存在部分方向上的终端设备检测不到公共搜索空间,进而导致无法接收到承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI的问题。
若将波束成型技术与第五代移动通信技术(5G)系统相结合,由于5G系统中不设置公共搜索空间,而是为每一个终端设备20设置专用搜索空间,因此,在通知多个终端设备20通用的一些信息时,需要为每一个终端设备20分别设置单独的专用搜索空间。5G系统中,专用搜索空间占用的控制资源开销很大。
针对上述问题,为实现在一个子帧对应的时间范围内,分布在多个方向上的终端设备20可检测到公共搜索空间,本申请实施例提供一种资源处理方法。下面对本申请实施例提供的资源处理方法进行详细说明。
图3为本申请实施例提供的资源处理方法的流程示意图。本实施例涉及的是,在资源分配时,为每个波束对应的方向上的终端设备均分配一个公共搜索空间。如图3所示,该方法包括:
S301、网络设备确定需要发送的至少两个波束。
示例性的,当网络设备10需要向终端设备20发送控制信息时,网络设备10确定需要发送的至少两个波束。可选的,网络设备10可根据需要发送的控制信息来确定需要发送的波束的个数。例如当网络设备10需寻呼服务小区内的所有空闲状态的终端设备20时,由于网络设备10不清楚终端设备20所在的方向,网络设备10需向所有可能的方向发送波束。进一步地,当需要发送的波束数量较多时,网络设备10还可确定波束在不同的子帧对应的时间范围内发送。通过将需要发送的波束在多个子帧内分别发送,实现波束的轮转发送。为进一步提高网络设备10发送控制信息的轮转速度,通常限定一个波束对应一个符号。
可选的,网络设备10还可根据需要服务的终端设备20所在的方向来确定需要发送的波束的个数。当网络设备10清楚需要服务的终端设备20所在的方向时,网络设备10可根据终端设备20所在的方向确定需要发送的波束。当终端设备所在的方向数量较少时,可为一个波束分配一个符号组。一个符号组可包括至少一个符号。
可选的,还可根据波束的宽度确定需要发送的波束的数量。例如,当网络设备10发送的波束的宽度较宽,即波束具有较大的覆盖角度时,网络设备10只需要发送较少数量的波束,即可覆盖所有可能的方向。同样的,可为一个波束分配一个符号组,一个符号组可包括至少一个符号。
可选的,网络设备10还可根据其他配置确定需要发送的波束,本申请对此不做限定。
S302、网络设备确定至少两个波束中每个波束对应的时频资源。
示例性的,网络设备为每个波束确定对应的时频资源。可选的,网络设备可以通过为每个波束确定对应符号组,来确定对应的时频资源。一个符号组内所有符号对应的频域资源构成了该符号组对应的波束的时频资源。其中,一个符号组可以包括至少一个符号。可选的,网络设备通过为每个波束确定一个对应的符号,确定了每个波束对应的时频资源为各波束对应的符号对应的频域资源。当为每个波束确定对应的符号组或符号后,网络设备10便在符号组或符号对应的时间范围内,发送对应的波束,波束对 应的方向上的终端设备20即可接收到该波束。
S303、网络设备在每个波束对应的时频资源中确定部分时频资源,作为公共搜索空间。
其中,所述公共搜索空间对应的部分时频资源,用于承载向终端设备发送的控制信息。
示例性的,网络设备10在每个波束对应的时频资源中选择部分时频资源。例如,可在时频资源包括的所有可用CCE中选择部分CCE作为部分时频资源。所述部分CCE构成公共搜索空间,可用于承载网络设备10向终端设备20发送的控制信息。CCE数量可根据待发送的控制信息决定。即每个波束对应的时频资源包括一个公共搜索空间,每个波束对应的时频资源中包括的公共搜索空间可承载控制信息。
本申请实施例提供一种资源处理方法,在确定需要发送的至少两个波束后,为每个波束分配各自的时频资源。并在各波束对应的时频资源中划定作为公共搜索空间的时频资源。本申请实施例提供的资源处理方法,可在终端设备分布在不同方向时,保证各终端设备均可检测到完整的公共搜索空间。同时,由于在一个子帧对应的时间范围内网络设备10发送了至少两个波束,使得网络设备10在不增加RF链路的情况下,可在一个子帧内发送更多的波束,增加了覆盖范围。
进一步地,在上述资源处理方法实施例中,当网络设备10需要同时向分布在多个方向的终端设备20发送控制信息时,网络设备10确定每个子帧内需要发送的波束。网络设备10在每个波束对应的时频资源上的公共搜索空间中均承载控制信息,即将控制信息进行复制,使得每个波束均携带有控制信息。其中,控制信息为多个终端设备10均需接收的信息,例如,需要承载在公共搜索空间中的下行控制信息。因此,各波束对应的方向上的终端设备20,可以检测到公共搜索空间,进而可以接收到承载公共搜索空间中的控制信息。
参照上述资源处理方法,下面对网络设备10发送承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI时,承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI在时频资源上的映射流程进行详细说明。示例性的,将DCI映射在时频资源上的物理层流程,可以包括:
S001:网络设备获取需映射在时频资源上的DCI,此时DCI为二进制形式的比特流。
S002:在DCI比特流中添加CRC。
示例性的,网络设备对DCI比特流添加CRC校验比特,CRC长度是可参照LTE系统中的协议约定。
S003:对添加了CRC的DCI进行信道编码,得到编码数据。
信道编码过程可采用咬尾卷积码(Tail-biting convolutional coding,TBCC码)、极化码(Polar码),或LTE系统中的任一编码方式,本申请不做限定。信道编码用于为信息传输提供检错和纠错能力。
S004:对编码数据进行速率匹配,得到待传输比特序列。
示例性的,速率匹配用于从编码数据中选择真正需要传输的比特序列。
S005:确定各比特序列对应的CCE。
示例性的,一个比特序列可在多个CCE聚合传输。CCE的个数即为聚合等级,聚合等级示例性的可以为{1,2,4,8}。
S006:将多个待传输比特序列整合在一起,得到复用比特序列。
例如第i个比特序列b
(i)的长度记为M
(i),比特序列表示为b
(i)(0),···,b
(i)(M
(i)-1),其中,i为非负整数。那么,将P个比特序列整合之后得到的比特序列可以表示为b
(0)(0),···,b
(0)(M
(0)-1),···,b
(P-1)(0),···,b
(P-1)(M
(P-1)-1)。本申请中将这个序列定义为复用比特序列,复用比特序列的总长度为
其中N
REG指示时频资源中的总控 制资源数。
适应性的,根据上述整合方式可确定各比特数据对应的CCE。
S007:对S006中得到的复用比特序列进行加扰,得到加扰数据。
示例性的,加扰是指用一个序列(示例性的,可选用与小区标识相关的序列)对复用得到的比特流进行模二加的操作,用于随机化相邻小区之间的干扰。
S008:对加扰数据进行调制,得到QPSK符号序列或QAM符号序列。
示例性的,可以对得到加扰数据采用正交相移键控(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying,QPSK)的调制方式,即2个比特调制成一个QPSK符号。示例性的,若采用正交幅度调制(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation,QAM)方式,则将加扰数据调制成一个QAM符号序列。可选的,还可采用其他调制方式,本申请对此不做限制。
S009:对QPSK符号序列或QAM符号序列进行交织和循环移位。
S010:根据QPSK符号序列或QAM符号序列与RE映射关系,将QPSK符号或QAM符号映射天线端口和物理时频资源上。
示例性的,可根据CCE与各比特数据的对应关系、各比特数据与各QPSK符号或各QAM符号的对应关系,以及RE与CCE的映射关系,可得到各QPSK符号或各QAM符号与RE的映射关系。
在LTE系统中,在进行DCI映射时,通常优先将各QPSK符号或各QAM符号依次映射到子载波相同,符号不同的RE中。即,DCI分布在不同符号对应的频域资源上,且仅映射一次DCI。因此,当终端设备20分布在不同符号上时,存在部分方向上的终端设备接收不到承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI的问题。
本申请实施例中,当网络设备10确定需要发送的至少两个波束,以及每个波束对应的时频资源后,网络设备10在每个波束对应的时频资源中的公共搜索空间中,映射QPSK符号序列或QAM符号序列。可选的,当一个波束对应一个符号,自该符号对应的公共搜索空间的第一个RE起,将各QPSK符号或各QAM符号依次映射在符号相同,子载波不同的RE中。可选的,当一个波束对应一个符号组,以符号组中包括两个符号为例,自该符号对应的公共搜索空间的第一个RE起,可优先将各QPSK符号或各QAM符号依次映射在符号相同,子载波不同的RE中,当一个符号对应的频域资源中的RE数量不足时,再将QPSK符号或QAM符号映射在第二个符号对应的频域资源中的RE中;或者,还可优先将各QPSK符号或各QAM符号依次映射子载波相同,符号不同的RE中。当一个波束对应的QPSK符号序列或QAM符号序列映射结束后,再在第二个波束对应的时频资源中映射QPSK符号序列或QAM符号序列,直至所有波束对应的时频资源中的公共搜索空间中的QPSK符号序列或QAM符号序列映射完成。
本申请实施例中在每一个波束对应的时频资源中映射一份DCI,保证了各波束对应的方向上的终端设备可接收到DCI。
S011:对映射结果进行反傅里叶变换。
示例性的,通过反傅里叶变换可将所有的子载波上的QPSK符号调制成波形发送,从而实现了二进制形式的DCI在LTE系统中的发送。
对应的,终端设备20在接收DCI时,接收流程示例性的包括与上述映射流程相反的操作。终端设备的DCI接收的物理层流程主要包括:
终端设备20将接收到的波形进行傅里叶变换、解交织和循环移位、解调、解扰等操作,得到如图2所示的资源映射结构。然后终端设备20在接收得到的资源映射结构中进行公共搜索空间的盲检,以得到下行控制信息。
下面结合多个具体的DCI的传输实施例对本申请提供的资源处理方法进行详细说明。
图4为本申请实施例一提供的控制资源映射结构示意图。如图4所示,本实施例中需发送的波束为3个,即本实施例以网络设备10需同时服务位于3个不同波束对应的方向上的终端设备20为例,对资源处理方法进行示例性说明。其中,各波束对应的方向上的终端设备20的数量可以相同,也可以不同。参照图4,本申请实施例提供一种资源处理方法,包括:
S401:网络设备确定需要发送的波束,在每个波束对应的频域资源中确定部分频域资源,作为公共搜索空间。
示例性的,网络设备10通过RF射频发送信息时,在确定需要发送的波束后,为一个波束分配对应的一个符号。在一个符号对应的时间范围内,网络设备10控制RF链路发送该符号对应的波束,以使该符号对应的波束对应的方向上的终端设备20可接收到网络设备10在该符号对应的时间范围内发送的信息。本实施例中,网络设备10在确定三个波束后,为三个波束分别确定对应的时频资源。如图4所示,一个波束对应的时频资源为该波束对应的符号所对应的频域资源。网络设备10进一步为每个波束,在频域资源上划定部分频域资源,作为公共搜索空间。如图4所示,每个公共搜索空间占用的部分频域资源在不同符号上具有相同的位置。为使一个公共搜索空间只分布在一个符号对应的频域资源上,本实施例中构成公共搜索空间的多个CCE分布在同一个符号对应的频域资源上。即公共搜索空间选用分布在同一个符号对应的频域资源上的CCE,构成各CCE的REG分布在同一个符号对应的频域资源上。
S402:网络设备将DCI映射到公共搜索空间中。
示例性的,网络设备10向终端设备20发送DCI,当该DCI为小区中至少一个终端设备通用的DCI,如系统信息或寻呼信息时,网络设备10在每个公共搜索空间中都映射一个DCI。以保证三个波束对应的方向上的终端设备20均可接收到承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI。
示例性的,当网络设备10无需向终端设备20发送承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI,仅发送特定终端设备对应的DCI时,网络设备10同样可在每个公共搜索空间中都映射一个特定终端设备对应的DCI。此时,为保证终端设备20可检测到该DCI。网络设备10可通过高层信令通知终端设备该DCI占用的资源位置信息,以及进行CRC校验所需的标识,以使终端设备根据资源位置信息和标识,来接收该DCI。
可选的,在每个波束对应的符号对应的频域资源上,网络设备10还确定用于映射RS的部分频域资源和/或用于映射HARQ反馈信息的部分频域资源。公共搜索空间对应的部分频域资源、映射RS的部分频域资源、映射HARQ反馈信息的部分频域资源相互之间均不交叠。可选的,各波束对应的符号对应的频域资源上承载有至少一个RS。通过在每个波束对应的频域资源上,均映射有RS和HARQ反馈信息,使得每个波束对应的方向上的终端设备20可成功接收到RS和HARQ反馈信息。相比LTE系统中RS和HARQ反馈信息通常只映射在一个子帧中的第一个符号对应的频域资源上,仅第一个符号对应的波束对应的方向上的终端设备20可接收到RS和HARQ反馈信息,本实施例避免了分布在其他符号对应的方向上的终端设备20由于未接收RS和HARQ反馈信息,而存在无法完成DCI的接收的问题。
可选的,本申请实施例中,网路设备10在各波束对应的符号对应的频域资源上还确定部分频域资源,作为专用搜索空间。网络设备10将单独分配给每个终端设备20的DCI,分别承载在每个终端设备所在的方向对应的波束所对应的频域资源上的专用搜索空间中。专用搜索空间对应的部分频域资源、映射RS的部分频域资源、映射HARQ反馈信息的部分频域资源相互之间均不交叠。示例性的,专用搜索空间对应的部分时频资源可与公共搜索空间对应的部分时频资源重叠。重叠部分称为重叠资源,在具 体映射过程中,网络设备10可将承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI映射在该重叠资源上,或者,将承载在专用搜索空间中的DCI映射在该重叠资源上。
S403、网络设备10向终端设备20发送公共搜索空间的资源位置信息。
与LTE系统中的控制资源映射结构不同的是,本实施例中,控制资源上未映射PCFICH。由于终端设备20未接收到承载在PCFICH上的CFI,因此无法按照上述S202中的方法计算CCE索引,来获取公共搜索空间的资源位置信息。为解决上述问题,本实施例中,网络设备10直接向终端设备20发送公共搜索空间的资源位置信息。
示例性的,终端设备20通过高层信令配置得到每一个符号对应的公共搜索空间的REG或CCE位置信息。可选的,还可以是终端设备20初始接入网络时,接收网络设备10通过广播方式发送的公共搜索空间的资源位置信息。
其中,高层信令示例性的可以为介质接入控制-控制单元(Medium Access Control–Control Element,MAC-CE)信令、非接入层(Non-Access Stratum,NAS)信令、无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令、分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)信令或无线链路控制层协议(Radio Link Control,RLC)信令。
可选的,终端设备20可获取各符号对应的公共搜索空间占用各自符号对应的频域资源的资源位置信息。例如,终端设备20接收到每个公共搜索空间占用的资源的符号信息和频域资源信息,频域资源信息例如可以为子载波信息。可选的,终端设备20可获取一个资源位置信息,作为各个符号对应的公共搜索空间的资源位置信息。此时,不同符号对应的频域资源上的公共搜索空间占用的资源位置一致。通过将不同符号对应的频域资源上的公共搜索空间设置在同一位置处,可减少信令开销。例如,终端设备20接收每个公共搜索空间占用的资源的子载波信息。当不同子帧中各符号对应的频域资源上的公共搜索空间的资源位置均相同,则可进一步减少信令开销。可选的,终端设备20接收到的资源位置信息,可以为第一个符号对应的公共搜索空间占用的第一资源位置信息,以及其他各符号对应的公共搜索空间占用的资源位置信息与第一资源位置信息的偏移量。或者,终端设备20接收到的资源位置信息,可以为第一个符号对应的公共搜索空间占用的第一资源位置信息,以及后一个符号对应的公共搜索空间占用的资源位置信息与前一个符号对应的公共搜索空间占用的资源位置信息的关联关系,关联关系可以为偏移量。
示例性的,公共搜索空间的资源位置信息包括如下可能的实施方式:
一种实施方式中,网络设备10直接将公共搜索空间在各符号对应的频域资源上占用的资源位置信息告知终端设备20。公共搜索空间的资源位置信息为公共搜索空间占用的CCE或REG的位置信息。此时公共搜索空间可与LTE协议中相同占用16个CCE,聚合级别可以为4或8。终端设备20根据CCE的位置信息,经过最多6次盲检获取承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI。公共搜索空间还可根据实际需求占用其他数量的CCE,设置其他聚合级别,本申请对此不做限定。通过将公共搜索空间的资源位置信息直接发送给终端设备,使得终端设备可直接根据资源位置信息,确定公共搜索空间,无需计算公共搜索空间的位置,减少了终端设备的工作量,提高了终端设备接收承载在公共搜索空间中的控制信息的速度。
另一种实施方式中,网络设备10可直接将承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI在该公共搜索空间中占用的PDCCH在各符号对应的频域资源上占用的资源位置信息,发送给终端设备20。公共搜索空间的资源位置信息为公共搜索空间占用的REG或CCE的位置信息。因此,与LTE系统中的公共搜索空间不同的是,本实施例中的公共搜索空间占用的CCE的数量可以不是16个CCE,可根据承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI进行适应性设置。同时,本实施例中的公共搜索空间也可不再设置聚合级别。终端设备 20可直接根据REG或CCE的位置信息,进行CRC校验,获取承载在PDCCH中的DCI,而无需进行盲检。可以减少终端设备的盲检次数、降低DCI检测的复杂度。
值得注意的是,当网络设备10在不同子帧中配置的各公共搜索空间的资源位置信息一致时,网络设备10可仅发送一次公共搜索空间的资源位置信息。此时,S403也可在S401之前执行。
S404:终端设备20根据接收到的公共搜索空间的资源位置信息,获取承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI。
示例性的,终端设备20根据接收到的资源位置信息,从当前子帧的第一个符号开始,在第一个符号对应的频域资源上所述资源位置信息指示的位置处,确定公共搜索空间,再尝试在公共搜索空间中检测是否承载有DCI。当终端设备20位于网络设备10在第一个符号发送的波束对应的方向上,且该符号对应的公共搜索空间中承载有该终端设备20的DCI时,终端设备20可接收到承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI。终端设备20在检测到承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI时,停止尝试检测承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI。当终端设备20在第一个符号对应的时间范围内未检测到承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI时,终端设备20继续在第二符号对应的频域资源上,根据资源位置信息,尝试检测承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI。终端设备20中预设有最大符号数,最大符号数可在终端设备20生产时配置在终端设备20上。也可由网络设备10通过高层信令为终端设备20配置。还可在终端设备20初始接入网络时,由网络设备10通过广播方式发送。当终端设备20在最大符号数包括的所有符号对应的时间范围内都未检测到承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI时,终端设备20停止检测承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI。
可选的,在各符号对应的公共搜索空间中,还承载有控制信道符号信息,控制信道符号信息用于指示网络设备10发送RS、DCI和HARQ反馈信息所需的符号数,即控制信道所在符号总数。示例性的,控制信道符号信息可以为LTE系统中的CFI信息。示例性的,控制信道符号信息可作为DCI的一个新字段,承载在PDCCH上。
示例性的,控制信道符号信息可以为如下中的至少一项:
控制信道符号总数、剩余控制信道符号数、当前子帧内的控制信道符号总数、当前子帧内剩余控制信道符号数、当前波束控制信道符号总数、当前波束剩余控制信道符号数、数据信道开始符号数。
上述控制信道符号信息中,除数据信道开始符号数外,指示的数目都不大于最大符号数。数据信道指示网络设备10传输数据信息时占用的时频资源。
其中,控制信道符号总数用于指示网络设备10占用多少个符号来发送RS、DCI和HARQ反馈信息。可选的,终端设备20在接收到控制信道符号总数M后,在当前子帧的前M个符号对应的频域资源上检索DCI,在当前子帧的第M+1个符号开始接收数据信息。其中M为大于0的正整数。
剩余控制信道符号数用于指示网络设备10从当前符号处起,还需占用多少个符号来发送RS、DCI和HARQ反馈信息。可选的,终端设备20在接收到控制信道符号总数M后,在当前子帧的前M个符号对应的频域资源上检索DCI,在当前子帧的第M+1个符号开始接收数据信息。
当前子帧内的控制信道符号总数用于指示当前子帧内网络设备10占用多少个符号来发送RS、DCI和HARQ反馈信息。
当前子帧内剩余控制信道符号数用于指示当前子帧内网络设备10从当前符号处起,还需占用多少个符号来发送RS、DCI和HARQ反馈信息。
当前波束控制信道符号总数用于指示网络设备10在当前波束上,占用多少个符号来发送RS、DCI和HARQ反馈信息。在本实施例中,网络设备10在各个波束上只占用一个符号来发送RS、DCI和HARQ反馈信息。
当前波束剩余控制信道符号数用于指示网络设备10在当前波束上,从当前符号处起,还需占用多 少个符号来发送RS、DCI和HARQ反馈信息。在本实施例中,网络设备10在各个波束上只占用一个符号来发送RS、DCI和HARQ反馈信息,故当前波束剩余控制信道符号数取值为0。
数据信道开始符号数用于指示终端设备20在当前子帧的第几个符号处开始接收数据信息。
示例性的,当一个符号对应的频域资源上既承载了DCI也承载了数据信息,则控制信道符号信息需既指示网络设备10占用哪些符号来发送RS、DCI和HARQ反馈信息,也指示占用哪些符号发送数据信息。
示例性的,参照图4,当终端设备20在符号#0上检测到DCI后,可同时接收到控制信道符号信息,当控制信道符号信息为控制信道符号总数时,例如,控制信道符号总数为3,指示当前子帧内网络设备10发送RS、DCI和HARQ反馈信息需占用的总符号数为3。当控制信道符号信息为剩余控制信道符号数时,剩余控制信道符号数为2,指示网络设备10还需占用2个符号来发送RS、DCI和HARQ反馈信息。
可选的,还可由网络设备10通过高层信令配置控制信道符号信息。
本申请实施例中,网络设备根据确定的需要发送的波束,在各波束对应的符号对应的时频资源上设置一个公共搜索空间,且一个公共搜索空间占用一个符号,将多个终端设备都需要接收的DCI在各公共搜索空间中均进行映射。网络设备通过在每一个波束对应的符号对应的时频资源上设置公共搜索空间,保证了位于不同波束对应的方向上的终端设备均能检测到公共搜索空间,进一步可以在公共搜索空间中检测是否承载有DCI,提高了基于波束成型技术的通信系统的覆盖能力。
进一步地,在上述实施例的基础上,本申请实施例还提供一种资源处理方法,在终端设备20获取到承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI之后,还包括:
S405:在检测到承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI的符号对应的时间范围和频域资源上,终端设备20获取专用搜索空间资源位置信息,并尝试盲检承载在专用搜索空间中的DCI。
一种实施方式中,专用搜索空间的构成方式,可以与LTE系统中的专用搜索空间的构成方式类似。例如,专用搜索空间的聚合级别可以为1、2、4、8中任一种,对应的专用搜索空间的CCE总数分别为6、12、8、16。构成专用搜索空间的CCE分布在同一个符号对应的频域资源上,且构成一个CCE的REG分布在同一个符号对应的频域资源上。专用搜索空间在当前符号包括的CCE中的起始点,示例性的可以取决于终端设备20的标识、当前子帧编号等。终端设备20可在检测到承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI后,计算得到当前符号对应的频域资源上,专用搜索空间的起始点位置,然后从该起始点位置处起,进行16次盲检,以获取承载在专用搜索空间中的DCI。
另一种实施方式中,专用搜索空间的构成方式,还可以与5G中的专用搜索空间的构成方式类似。其中,专用搜索空间的CCE总数为16,专用搜索空间的聚合级别可以为2、4、8、16中任一种。构成专用搜索空间的CCE同样分布在一个符号上。此种情况下,在当前符号对应的时间范围内,终端设备20需最多进行(16/2+16/4+16/8+16/16)=15次盲检。专用搜索空间在当前符号包括的CCE中的起始点可采用5G中的确定专用搜索空间的起始点的方法。
再一种实施方式中,专用搜索空间还可根据实际需求占用其他数量的CCE,设置其他聚合级别,本申请对此不做限定。
本申请还提供一种资源处理方法实施例,图5为本申请实施例二提供的控制资源映射结构示意图。如图5所示,与图4所示实施例不同的是,本实施例中网络设备10在每个波束对应的方向上发送RS、DCI和HARQ反馈信息占用的符号数不同。本实施例中网络设备10确定需要发送的波束为两个,即以需服务位于两个不同波束对应的方向上的终端设备20为例,对RS、DCI和HARQ反馈信息在控制资 源上的映射方式进行示例性说明。其中,各波束对应的方向上的终端设备20的数量可以相同,也可以不同。下面仅对图5所示实施例与图4所示实施例中不一致的地方进行详细说明。
参照图5,本申请实施例提供一种资源处理方法,包括:
S501:网络设备确定需要发送的波束,在每个波束对应的频域资源中确定部分频域资源,作为公共搜索空间。
示例性的,网络设备10通过RF射频发送信息时,一个波束对应一个符号组,各符号组中包括的符号数可以不同,即每个波束占用的符号数可以不同。在一个符号组内,网络设备10控制RF链路发送该符号组对应的波束,以使该波束对应的方向上的终端设备20可接收到在该符号组对应的时间范围内发送的信息。本实施例中,网络设备10在确定两个波束后,为两个波束分别确定对应的时频资源。示例性的,网络设备10确定波束1和波束2各自对应的符号组。参照图5,波束1对应的符号组包括符号#0和符号#1。波束2对应的符号组包括符号#2。各波束对应的时频资源为对应的符号组所对应的频域资源。网络设备10进一步为每个波束,在频域资源上划定公共搜索空间对应的频域资源。如图5所示,波束1对应的频域资源上的公共搜索空间可占用一个符号。可选的,波束1对应的频域资源上的公共搜索空间也可占用两个符号,此时,可以为构成CCE的REG占用两个符号,公共搜索空间由至少一个CCE构成;也可以为构成CCE的REG占用一个符号,公共搜索空间由分布在不同符号对应的频域资源上的CCE构成。
S502:网络设备将DCI映射到公共搜索空间中。
示例性的,当网络设备10向终端设备20发送DCI时,网络设备10在每个公共搜索空间中都映射一个DCI。以保证两个波束对应的方向上的终端设备20均可接收到承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI。示例性的,当公共搜索空间分布在两个符号对应的频域资源上时,承载在该公共搜索空间中的DCI可映射在两个符号对应的频域资源上,也可映射在两个符号中任一个符号对应的频域资源上。
可选的,当一个波束对应的符号组包括至少两个符号时,网络设备10通常在符号组的第一个符号中确定用于映射RS的部分频域资源、用于映射HARQ反馈信息的部分频域资源。公共搜索空间对应的部分频域资源、映射RS的部分频域资源、映射HARQ反馈信息的部分频域资源相互之间均不交叠。可选的,各波束对应的符号组对应的频域资源上承载有至少一个RS。
可选的,网路设备10在各波束对应的符号组对应的频域资源上还确定部分频域资源,作为专用搜索空间。当波束对应的符号组包括至少两个符号时,专用搜索空间可分布在至少两个符号对应的频域资源上。示例性的,可以为构成CCE的REG占用至少两个符号,专用搜索空间由至少一个CCE构成;也可以为构成CCE的REG占用一个符号,专用搜索空间由分布在至少两个符号对应的频域资源上的CCE构成。
S503、网络设备10向终端设备20发送公共搜索空间的资源位置信息。
示例性的,终端设备20获取公共搜索空间在对应的符号组对应的频域资源上的资源位置信息。例如,终端设备20接收到每个公共搜索空间占用的资源的符号信息和频域资源信息,频域资源信息例如可以为子载波信息。当符号组包括至少两个符号时,公共搜索空间可分布在符号组包括的至少一个符号对应的频域资源上。可选的,为减少信令开销,可如图5所示,将公共搜索空间均设置在每个符号组的第一个符号对应的频域资源上,且各公共搜索空间在的各符号组对应的时频资源上占用的频域资源位置相同。此时,网络设备10可仅发送一个资源位置信息,如子载波信息,以使终端设备20可将获取到的资源位置信息,作为各个符号对应的频域资源上的公共搜索空间的资源位置信息。
S504:终端设备20根据接收到的公共搜索空间的资源位置信息,获取承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI。
示例性的,当终端设备20接收到每个公共搜索空间占用的CCE或REG的资源位置信息,资源位置信息包括符号信息和子载波信息,此时一个公共搜索空间对应的符号信息中指示的符号可以不同。则按各符号对应的时间的先后顺序,在各符号对应的子载波处,确定公共搜索空间,再尝试在公共搜索空间中检测是否承载有DCI。若终端设备20检测到承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI,则停止尝试检测,或直至尝试了资源位置信息指示的所有资源位置。
示例性的,当终端设备20接收到每个公共搜索空间占用的频域资源信息,如子载波信息,则根据资源位置信息,从第一个符号开始,在每个符号对应的时间范围内,资源位置信息指示的位置处,确定公共搜索空间,再尝试在公共搜索空间中检测是否承载有DCI。若终端设备20检测到DCI,则停止尝试检测,或直至遍历了最大符号数所指示的所有符号。
在各符号组对应的公共搜索空间中,还承载有控制信道符号信息。与图4所示实施例相似,控制信道符号信息可以为如下中的至少一项:
控制信道符号总数、剩余控制信道符号数、当前子帧内的控制信道符号总数、当前子帧内剩余控制信道符号数、当前波束控制信道符号总数、当前波束剩余控制信道符号数、数据信道开始符号数。
在本实施例中,网路设备10可发送当前波束控制信道符号总数或当前波束剩余控制信道符号数作为控制信道符号信息。结合图5,当当前波束为波束1,且当前符号为符号#0时,当前波束控制信道符号总数取值为2,当前波束剩余控制信道符号数取值为1。
本申请实施例中,网络设备确定的需要发送的波束,在各波束对应的符号组对应的时频资源上设置一个公共搜索空间,且一个公共搜索空间占用一个符号组,一个符号组对应至少一个符号,将多个终端设备都需要接收的DCI在各公共搜索空间中均进行映射。网络设备通过在每一个波束对应的符号组对应的时频资源上设置公共搜索空间,保证了位于不同波束对应的方向上的终端设备均能检测到公共搜索空间,进一步可以在公共搜索空间中检测是否承载有DCI,提高了基于波束成型技术的通信系统的覆盖能力。本实施例中网络设备可根据实际需求,在包含不同符号数的符号组对应的时间范围内发送波束,使得共搜索空间、以及承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI在时频资源上分布更具有灵活性。
进一步地,在上述实施例的基础上,本申请实施例还提供一种资源处理方法,在终端设备20获取到承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI之后,还包括:
S505:在检测到公共搜索空间中的DCI的符号组对应的时间范围和频域资源上,终端设备20获取专用搜索空间资源位置信息,并尝试盲检承载在专用搜索空间中的DCI。
可选的,本实施例中的任一符号组中的专用搜索空间的构成方式,均可以与LTE系统中的专用搜索空间的构成方式类似,或与5G中的专用搜索空间的构成方式类似。可选的,专用搜索空间还可根据实际需求占用其他数量的CCE,设置其他聚合级别,本申请对此不做限定。
本申请还提供一种资源处理方法实施例,图6为本申请实施例三提供的控制资源映射结构示意图。如图6所示,与图5所示实施例不同的是,本实施例中只有朝向一个方向的波束,即本申请提供的资源处理方法也适用于当网络设备确定的波束数目为1的情况。相比图5所示实施例,本实施例中网络设备10不再发送波束2。其中,本实施例中的波束对应的符号组包括至少一个符号。下面仅对图6所示实施例与图5所示实施例中不一致的地方进行详细说明。
参照图6,本申请实施例提供一种资源处理方法,包括:
S601:网络设备确定需要发送的波束,在每个波束对应的频域资源中确定部分频域资源,作为公共搜索空间。
本实施例中,以网络设备10确定只需要发送一个波束为例。示例性的,可能为网络设备10确定各 终端设备20处于同一波束对应的方向,也可以为只有一个需服务的终端设备20,该波束的方向与该需要服务的终端设备20的方向一致。当只需发送一个波束时,该波束对应一个符号组,符号组中包括至少一个符号。示例性的,图6中以波束1对应3个符号为例进行绘示。
S602:网络设备将DCI映射到公共搜索空间中。
具体的,本实施例中网络设备10首先确定需要发送的波束,即波束1。然后确定波束1对应的时频资源,在时频资源中确定公共搜索空间占用的部分时频资源。将需要承载在公共搜索空间中发送的DCI承载在该公共搜索空间中发送。公共搜索空间占用的时频资源可以如图6所示,占用3个符号。承载在该公共搜索空间中的DCI也可分布在3个符号对应的频域资源上。
S603、网络设备10向终端设备20发送公共搜索空间的资源位置信息。
S604:终端设备20根据接收到的公共搜索空间的资源位置信息,获取承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI。
S605:在检测到公共搜索空间中的DCI的符号组对应的时间范围和频域资源上,终端设备20获取专用搜索空间资源位置信息,并尝试盲检承载在专用搜索空间中的DCI。
其中,S603至S605与图5所示实施例中的S505至S505相似,本申请不再赘述。
本实施例中,网络设备根据需要发送的一个波束,控制波束在一个符号组对应的时频资源中确定公共搜索空间,再在公共搜索空间中承载DCI。网络设备在符号组对应的时间范围内发送该波束,保证了位于该波束对应的方向上的终端设备能检测到公共搜索空间,进一步可以在公共搜索空间中检测是否承载有DCI。同时,网络设备在一个子帧内只需要发送一个波束时,将公共搜索空间跨符号分布,可减少频域资源占用。
本申请还提供一种资源处理方法实施例,图7为本申请实施例四提供的控制资源映射结构示意图。如图7所示,与图4所示实施例不同的是,本实施例中每个波束对应的符号对应的频域资源上,还映射有PCFICH,PCFICH上承载有CFI。下面仅对图7所示实施例与图4所示实施例中不一致的地方进行详细说明。
参照图7,本申请实施例提供一种资源处理方法,包括:
S701:网络设备确定需要发送的波束,在每个波束对应的频域资源中确定部分频域资源,作为公共搜索空间。
本步骤与图4所示实施例中的S401相似,本申请不再赘述。
S702:网络设备在时频中映射DCI和CFI。
示例性的,网络设备10将DCI映射到公共搜索空间中,映射方式与S702中相似,本申请不再赘述。
与图4所示实施例不同的是,本实施例中,在每个波束对应的符号对应的频域资源上,网络设备10还确定用于映射CFI的部分频域资源。CFI承载在PCFICH上。映射CFI的部分频域资源与公共搜索空间对应的部分频域资源、映射RS的部分频域资源、映射HARQ反馈信息的部分频域资源以及专用搜索空间对应的部分频域资源均不交叠。网络设备10在每个波束对应符号对应的频域资源上,均映射有CFI,且CFI承载在PCFICH中。本实施例中公共搜索空间中不再承载控制信道符号信息。可选的,各波束对应的符号也可以多个。
可选的,PCFICH的配置信息由网络设备10通过高层信令配置。CFI与上述图4至图6所示实施例中的控制信道符号信息相同,均用于指示网络设备10发送RS、DCI、HARQ反馈信息所占用的符号数。示例性的,CFI与控制信道符号信息相同,也可以为如下中的至少一项:
控制信道符号总数、剩余控制信道符号数、当前子帧内的控制信道符号总数、当前子帧内剩余控制 信道符号数、当前波束控制信道符号总数、当前波束剩余控制信道符号数、数据信道开始符号数。本申请对此不再赘述。
S703、终端设备20在各符号上尝试接收RS,承载在PHICH上的HARQ反馈信息,以及承载在PCFICH上的CFI。
S704、当终端设备20接收到RS、HARQ反馈信息、CFI时,在当前符号对应的时间范围内,终端设备20根据CFI,以及PCFICH、RS、PHICH各自占用的资源信息,获取CCE索引。
示例性的,获取CCE索引的方式可以与图2所示实施例中的S202相似,本申请不再赘述。
S705、在当前符号对应的时间范围内,终端设备20根据CCE的索引,确定当前符号对应的频域资源中的公共搜索空间,在公共搜索空间中进行盲检,获取承载在公共搜索空间中的DCI。
S706、在当前符号对应的时间范围和频域资源上,终端设备20获取专用搜索空间资源位置信息,并尝试盲检承载在专用搜索空间中的DCI。
其中,S705和S706与图2所示实施例中的S203至S204相似,本申请不再赘述。
本实施例中,网络设备根据需要发送的波束,控制波束在一个符号或符号组对应的时频资源中确定公共搜索空间,再在公共搜索空间中承载DCI。同时,在一个符号或符号组对应的时频资源中确定用于承载CFI的时频资源,CFI承载在PCFICH上。由于各波束对应的时频资源中承载有CFI,方便了终端设备20根据CFI获取各波束对应时频资源中的公共搜索空间的资源位置信息,因此,各符号对应的公共搜索空间在时频资源中的位置可以不同,具有较高的灵活性。也避免了网络设备向终端设备发送各符号对应的公共搜索空间的资源位置信息,减少了信令开销。
本申请实施例另一方面还提供一种资源处理装置,用于执行上述实施例中的网络设备侧的资源处理方法,具有相同的技术特征和技术效果,本申请不再赘述。
