Description

一种控制信息发送、接收方法及相关设备 技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种控制信息发送、接收方法及相关设备。
背景技术
第五代移动通信技术(英文:5th-Generation,简称:5G)是目前正在推进的第四代移动通信技术(英文:4th-Generation,简称:4G)之后的延伸,正处于研究中。根据国际电信联盟(International Telecommunication Union,ITU)对5G的需求,5G未来需要支持各种业务,例如,增强移动宽带(Enhanced Mobile Broadband,eMBB)业务、极高可靠性低时延通信(Ultra-reliable/low latency communication,URLLC)业务、海量机器类型通信(Massive machine-type communication,Massive MTC)业务等,其中,eMBB业务对传输速率、信号覆盖范围、传输时延、移动性等要求较高,如3D/超高清视频等大流量移动宽带业务;URLLC业务对可靠性、移动性和传输时延要求极高,如无人驾驶、工业自动化等需要低时延高可靠连接业务;Massive MTC业务对单位区域连接数目(连接密度)以及信号覆盖范围要求较高,如大规模物联网业务。
在某些5G的场景中,需要同时支持不同类型业务,但通常不同类型的业务对系统的要求不同,因此,常常不能同时满足不同业务的不同需求。又由于目前5G系统的架构和各种设计细节仍在讨论中,因此还未提供如何解决5G不同业务的兼容和灵活调度的问题。
发明内容

通常来说,传统的通信系统支持的连接数有限,也易于实现,然而,随着通信技术的发展,移动通信系统将不仅支持传统的通信,还将支持例如,设备到设备(Device to Device,简称“D2D”)通信,机器到机器(Machine to Machine,简称“M2M”)通信,机器类型通信(Machine Type Communication,简称“MTC”),以及车辆间(Vehicle to Vehicle,简称“V2V”)通信。

首先,提出本申请中在其中一种可以解决技术问题的5G应用场景。在本申请提出的5G的场景中,需要同时支持不同类型业务,如同时支持URLLC业务和eMBB业务,但URLLC业务对时延的要求明显高于eMBB业务,因此URLLC业务所要求的单次传输时间(即一个传输块的传输时间)应明显小于eMBB业务所要求的单次传输时间。如果采用传统调度方法指示eMBB和URLLC业务,则URLLC业务可能需要等待eMBB数据传输完毕之后才能被调度,可能导致URLLC业务尚未被发送或者刚刚被调度就超过了时延要求(超时即传输失败),此时无法满足URLLC的极高可靠性要求。若采用预留频域的方法,即仅使用预留的频域资源为URLLC业务服务,而eMBB业务不在此频域资源进行调度,则为了满足URLLC业务中部分随机到达业务的传输可靠性要求,需要预留足够宽的频域资源(能够保证峰值到达的所有数据包的传输可靠性的时频资源),如此会造成明显的资源浪费。
因此,本申请所要解决的技术问题在于如何通过有效的调度方法使得URLLC业务和eMBB业务高效共存,并且,本申请中主要讨论利用相同或者相近的时域单位作为调度单位调度eMBB和URLLC业务的方法来解决eMBB和URLLC如何高效共存的问题。以下将首先具体分析利用相同或者相近的时域单位作为调度单位的解决方式面临的主要技术问题和难点:
由于URLLC业务所要求的单次传输时间明显小于eMBB业务,因此若eMBB业务和URLLC业务采用相同或者相近,且能够满足URLLC业务对传输时延和可靠性要求的时域单位进行调度,则必定也能满足eMBB业务对传输时延和可靠性的要求。并且可以同时减少URLLC业务数据包的等待时间,进而减小URLLC数据包的传输时延。即最终同时满足eMBB和URLLC共存的传输时延和可靠性要求。具体地请参见图1,图1为本申请实施例提供的采用相同时域单位传输eMBB和URLLC的一个具体应用场景示意图,图1中示出了5个相同的时域单位(如时域符号),eMBB业务和URLLC业务分别采用相同的时域单位进行调度,可以满足URLLC随机到达时的传输时延,即同时满足eMBB和URLLC业 务对传输时延和可靠性的要求。
然而,采用上述调度方法的问题在于,能够满足URLLC数据传输时延要求的时域调度单位必然明显小于通常用于调度eMBB数据的时域调度单位,而采用过小的时域单位调度eMBB数据传输可能造成调度传输的控制信息的开销增加,进而降低了eMBB业务时频资源的使用效率。例如,如果采用1ms时域单位调度eMBB数据传输,而用于承载调度相关控制信息的时频资源占比通常达到20%,当减小调度的时域单位时,例如从1ms减小至0.125ms的,即使采用优化的调度算法(比如尽可能减小一个时域单位内调度的eMBB终端设备数),用于承载调度相关控制信息的时频资源占比也会增长至50%。此外,由于每个时域单位都可能用于调度eMBB数据传输,因此,eMBB终端设备可能需要在逐个时域单位内监测相关调度控制信息,如此一来便会增加eMBB终端设备监测控制信息的次数,进而增加eMBB终端设备的功耗。综上分析,通过减小时域调度单位实现URLLC业务和eMBB业务的高效共存的过程中,如何尽可能减小用于承载控制信息的开销以及减小eMBB终端设备的功耗是本申请主要解决的技术问题和难点。
需要强调说明的是,尽管本申请所解决的是基于实现URLLC业务与eMBB业务高效共存时产生的调度控制信息所占时频资源开销过大的问题,但本申请也可以应用于其它场景中用于减小承载控制信息的时频资源或者为网络设备提供更灵活的调度。例如,在没有URLLC业务时,仅用于调度eMBB业务,采用本申请的实施方法可以有效减小用于承载控制信息的时频资源占总时频资源的比例(相对于逐个时域调度单位发送用于调度的控制信息)。并且,在这种情况下,本申请使用场景不限于较小的时域调度单位,例如,在LTE授权辅助接入(License-assisted Access,LAA)应用场景中可使用的时频资源具有不确定性,采用本申请的实施方法可以为LAA应用场景提供更灵活的调度,同时减小用于承载控制信息的时频资源占总时频资源的比例。又例如,在未来5G部署的高频场景中,天线采用较窄的波瓣(beam)服务终端设备,为了增加覆盖(服务)范围,天线随着时间改变发送beam的方向,每个beam的持续时间较短(如一个或者若干个时域符号)。每个beam的较短的持续时间类似于前述较小的时域调度单位,采用本申请的实施方法可以有效减小用于承载控制信息的时频资源占总时频资源的比例。又例如,还可以利用专用的第一物理层控制信息为终端设备提供一个专用通道,通知终端设备私有的或有安全性要求的控制信息内容,而在公用控制信息时提供一个公用通道,为需求或者调度情形、时机类似的终端设备发送公用的控制信息,则可以减少校验或者传输资源,不仅保证了调度的安全性也节省了相关资源。综上所述,URLLC业务与eMBB业务共存的应用场景仅为示例,本申请的实施方法不以此为限制。
此外,需要理解的是,本申请中的时域单位可以是时域符号、迷你时隙、时隙或者子帧等,本申请对此不作具体限制。需要特别说明的是,迷你时隙的时间长度(即包含时域符号的个数)可以是固定的也可以是灵活变化的。
为了便于理解本申请实施例,基于上述,下面先对本申请实施例所基于的通信系统架构进行描述。请参见图2,图2为本申请实施例提供的通信系统架构图,该通信系统架构中包含了网络设备和终端设备,其中作为示例而非限定,网络设备为接入的终端设备进行 资源调度,终端设备则利用网络设备为其调度的资源进行数据传输,其中
终端设备,可以为该通信系统中用户侧的设备,可以支持eMBB业务,或者支持URLLC业务,或者同时支持eMBB业务和URLLC业务。且该终端设备在通信时使用的资源受网络设备的调度。
网络设备,可以为5G通信系统中网络侧的网元,例如,可以为5G通信系统中gNB。具体地,网络设备可以向终端设备组中的所有终端设备发送第一物理层控制信息为其分配临时识别标识。进一步地,网络设备还可以向终端设备组中的部分或者所有终端设备发送第二物理层控制信息。其中的第一物理层控制信息中可以携带终端设备在有效时间范围内的固定不变的传输调度控制信息,而第二物理层控制信息中则携带可以灵活变化并最终能确定终端设备是否真正进行传输调度的控制信息。例如,在一段有效时间内,通过第一物理层控制信息告知终端设备在该有效时间内使用哪个时频位置、以及使用何种调制与编码策略进行数据传输。但是,由于本申请中URLLC业务的随机到来的时机是不确定的,因此,可能在第一物理层控制信息中预先分配给终端设备的资源需要“让一让位”优先让URLLC业务进行传输,以保证该业务的传输时延要求。因此需要通过第二物理层控制信息实时的告知终端设备是否可以真正在第一物理层控制信息中指示的资源位置处进行调度,亦或者是要根据实际情况进行一些调整再进行调度。并且,由于有效时间范围划分的时域单位的粒度是满足URLLC业务的传输时延的,因此,在第一物理层控制信息将主要的传输调度控制信息发送给终端设备之后,再利用第二物理层控制信息进行实时灵活的调度,最终不仅可以节省需要在每个是域单位上发送控制信息的开销,还可以满足随机业务穿插进来的时延要求,一举两得。更具体的描述参照后述实施例部分的描述。
需要说明的是,本申请涉及的通信系统可以包括LTE系统以及LTE系统的未来演进系统,也可以是5G无线接入(New Radio Access Technology in 3GPP,NR)系统,简称5GNR系统,本申请对此不作具体限定。可以理解的是,图2中的通信系统架构只是本申请实施例中的一种示例性的实施方式,本申请实施例中的通信系统架构包括但不仅限于以上通信系统架构。
结合上述通信系统架构,以下将对本申请中具体如何尽可能减小用于承载控制信息的开销以及减小eMBB终端设备的功耗的总体思路进行分析和阐述:
在现有技术中,终端设备出厂后会有至少一个全球唯一标识,例如IMSI(International mobile subscriber identity)标识或者IMEI(International mobile equipment identity)标识,该全球标识由48位以上二进制数表示。终端设备因为需要被服务而成功接入网络后,或,终端设备被网络设备寻呼成功接入网络后,网络设备会为终端设备指定一个唯一的终端设备标识,该终端设备标识至少在当前网络设备服务的小区内有效。也即是说,在当前网络设备服务的小区内,终端设备标识与终端设备一一对应。作为示例而非限定,该终端设备标识可以为无线网络临时标识(Radio Network Tempory Identity,RNTI),也可以为其它可以在小区内唯一标识该终端设备的标识。一般而言,终端设备标识由16位或者16位以上二进制比特表示。
假设终端设备#1有一个至少在当前小区生效的唯一标识(叙述简单起见,简称为标识#1),和一个全球唯一标识(简称为标识#2)。终端设备#1接收到控制信息之后,可以通过 根据自己的标识#1或者标识#2确定该接收到的控制信息是否为自己的控制信息。例如,网络设备使用标识#1对发送给终端设备#1的控制信息的循环冗余校验(Cyclic Redundancy Check,CRC)比特进行加扰,终端设备使用标识#1对CRC进行解扰,解扰后利用该CRC比特确定接收到的该控制信息中的信息比特接收正确,则终端设备确定该控制信息是网络设备发送给自己的。其中,终端设备#1具体如何通过标识#1来确定自己的控制信息的原理与过程,与现有LTE系统中终端设备确定用于发给自己的PDCCH的方法类似。而如何通过标识#2来确定自己的控制信息的原理与过程与现有LTE系统中终端设备处于非连接态(如IDLE态)时,确定网络设备发送寻呼消息(PAGING)是否发给自己的方法类似,这里不再赘述。可以理解的是,无论终端设备#1是通过上述标识#1还是标识#2识别自身的控制信息,都会产生较大的开销,因为标识#1和标识#2至少都是16位以上的二进制比特,比特数比较大,因此,由标识本身产生的开销就非常明显。又由于前述所分析的,想要实现eMBB业务和URLLC业务的高效共存,需要采用较小的时域调度单位(如时域符号、迷你时隙、时隙或子帧等),而控制信息又是分布在每一个时域调度单位里,因此若标识#1和标识#2的比特数较大,则会严重浪费资源开销。
因此,本申请实施例将通过在控制信息#1中为终端设备#1指示一个临时索引#1,其中,“临时”是指从终端设备接收到控制信息#1开始(或者,控制信息#1指示的起始位置开始),索引#1在一段时间内有效,即在该持续时间内采用索引#1指示的控制信息为发送给终端设备#1的控制信息,和/或采用索引#1指示的传输数据为发送给终端设备#1的数据或者由终端设备#1发送的数据。或者说,在该持续时间内,发送给终端设备#1的控制信息与索引#1相关,和/或用于指示终端设备#1接收数据或者指示终端设备#1发送数据的控制信息与索引#1相关。本申请实施例减小发送相关控制信息时必须使用的终端设备的识别标识的比特数(例如,用索引#1临时代替标识#1或者标识#2),从而减小用于承载控制信息的开销以及减小eMBB终端设备的功耗,最终实现eMBB业务和URLLC业务的高效共存。
可以理解的是,以上只是从减少第一索引的比特数的角度来分析如何减少由于采用过小的时域单位调度eMBB数据传输可能造成调度传输的控制信息的开销增加。本申请中还包括其它实施方式减少控制信息开销的方案,例如将时频资源等在一定时间内固定不变的资源通过在第一物理层控制信息中一次发送,而将灵活可变的实际调度信息包含在共用的第二物理层控制信息中多次发送的方式,避免将重复资源多次传输造成的开销增加等。具体见后续方法实施例的描述,在此不再赘述。
下面结合本申请中提供的控制信息接收和发送方法的实施例,对本申请中提出的技术问题和难点进行具体分析和解决。
请参见图3,是本申请实施例提供的一种控制信息处理方法的流程示意图,可应用于上述图2中所述的通信系统,下面将结合附图3从网络设备和终端设备的交互侧进行描述,该方法可以包括以下步骤S301-步骤S303,可选地还可以包括步骤S304。
步骤S301:网络设备向第一终端设备发送第一物理层控制信息;第一终端设备接收网络设备发送的第一物理层控制信息。
具体地,第一物理层控制信息用于向第一终端设备指示第一索引,以及用于指示第一 终端设备在第一时间段监测第二物理层控制信息,第一索引在第一时间段内与第一终端设备对应,且用于第一终端设备确定第二物理层控制信息中与第一终端设备对应的控制信息字段。
在本申请中,第一终端设备(简述为终端设备#1)为已经接入由网络设备提供服务的服务小区的终端设备。或者说,第一终端设备已经获得了该服务小区内的用户ID,例如,该用户ID可以是上述标识1,更具体地,可以是RNTI。网络设备通过第一物理层控制信息(简述为控制信息#1)为终端设备#1指示第一索引(简述为索引#1),其中的指示方式可以是显示也可以是隐式,本申请对此不作具体限定。该控制信息#1为用户专用(UE-specific)控制信息。即,控制信息#1为网络设备专属发送给终端设备#1的控制信息。控制信息#1与终端设备#1的用户ID相关。终端设备#1根据该用户ID确定该控制信息#1是网络设备发送给该终端设备#1的。
关于第一物理层控制信息具体如何向第一终端设备指示第一索引,可以包括显示指示方式和隐式指示方式。
首先,具体说明显式的指示方式。在控制信息#1中包括用于指示索引#1的字段。例如,包括专用字段指示索引#1,该专用字段包含的比特数与网络设备可以同时支持最大终端设备数相关。所述“同时支持最大终端设备数”也可以是指网络设备可以支持传输数据包个数的峰值。例如,通信标准规定,最大同时支持数为32,则该专用字段则为5比特。进一步地,在实际网络运营中,网络设备能够同时支持的最大终端设备数可以通过无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令进行配置,例如,配置为16或者8个终端设备。或者,也可以重用控制信息#1中其它控制信息字段指示索引#1。在一种可能的实现方式中,第一物理层控制信息包括第一字段,第一物理层控制信息通过重用第一字段向第一终端设备指示第一索引。其中,第一字段包括编码调制方案指示字段、新数据指示字段、冗余版本指示字段、传输功率控制TPC指示字段和HARQ进程号指示字段中的至少一种。由于可以重用的信息字段与控制信息#1除索引#1以外指示给终端设备#1的其它控制信息内容有关,因此重用控制信息指示索引#1的具体实施方式在后续详述控制信息#1的内容的时候进一步说明。网络设备采用显式方式指示索引#1有利于终端设备#1准确理解索引#1。
其次,具体说明隐式的指示方式。网络设备通过控制信息#1隐式指示终端设备可以通过所使用的用于发送控制信息#1的时频资源位置指示索引#1。例如,网络设备可以指定S个控制资源集合(Control resource set)。在一种可能的实现方式中,S与终端设备#1接收控制信息#1的时候网络设备能够支持的最大终端设备数量一致,终端设备#1根据其收到的控制信息#1的第一个控制信道单元(Control Channel Element,CCE)或者第一个资源粒子组(Resource Element Group,REG)所在的控制资源集合索引确定索引#1。例如,终端设备#1接收到的控制信息#1的第一个CCE或者第一个REG在第二个控制资源集合,那么终端设备#1可以确定网络设备通过控制信息#1指示给该终端设备#1的索引#1为2。或者,终端设备#1接收到的控制信息#1的第一个CCE或者第一个REG在第二个控制资源集合,那么终端设备#1可以确定网络设备通过控制信息#1指示给该终端设备#1的索引#1为4,即控制资源集合索引与索引#1一一对应但是不相同,其中,一一对应关系可以由通信标准规定,也可以通过高层信令由网络设备配置给所述终端设备#1。在另一种可能的实现方式中, 每个控制资源集合内可以有L个CCE或者REG起始点,终端设备#1根据其收到的控制信息#1的第一个CCE或者第一个REG所在的控制资源集合索引以及L个起始点中第一个CCE或者第一个REG对应的起始点确定索引#1。例如,终端设备#1接收到的控制信息#1的第一个CCE或者第一个REG在第二个控制资源集合的第三个CCE或者REG起点,那么终端设备#1可以确定网络设备通过控制信息#1指示给该终端设备#1的索引#1为(2-1)*L+(3-1)。或者,终端设备#1接收到的控制信息#1的第一个CCE或者第一个REG在第二个控制资源集合的第三个CCE或者REG起点,那么终端设备#1可以确定网络设备通过控制信息#1指示给该终端设备#1的索引#1为(2-1)*L+3。
可选地,网络设备还可以将索引#1作为扰码计算变量计算生成扰码,并利用该计算得到的扰码对发送给终端设备#1的控制信息#1的信号进行加扰从而将索引#1隐式指示给终端设备#1。例如,网络设备至少通过上述终端设备标识#1或者标识#2,以及索引#1计算扰码序列;或者至少通过索引#1计算扰码序列。然后,网络设备使用该计算得到的扰码对发送给终端设备#1的控制信息#1的CRC比特序列进行加扰,或者对该控制信息#1的信息比特序列进行加扰,或者对该控制信息#1的信息比特和CRC比特进行加扰。网络设备采用隐式方式指示索引#1的方法有利于节省控制信息#1所占用的时频资源。
在一种可能的实现方式中,网络设备通过高层信令配置第一索引的最大取值;或者网络设备通过高层信令配置用于指示第一索引对应的字段包含的比特数或者有效比特数。例如,作为示例而非限制,用于表示索引#1的二进制比特数可以由网络设备通过高层信令配置的2比特、3比特、4比特等,也可以是预定义的。例如,网络设备通过RRC信令向终端设备配置用于指示索引#1的二进制比特;预定义则可以由通信标准预先约定,或者,终端设备/网络设备出厂前预定义的。可以理解的是,用于指示索引#1的二进制比特数也可以表述为在该索引#1的有效期(即第一时间段)内,网络设备同时调度/支持/服务的最大终端设备数。例如,该最大终端设备数为8,等效为采用三个二进制比特指示(表示)索引#1,因此,上述通过高层信令配置或者预定义的索引#1也可以是通过高层信令配置或者预定义的最大终端设备数。需要说明的是,上述网络设备同时调度/支持/服务的最大终端设备数可以是一个小区同时调度/支持/服务的终端设备数,也可以是由网络设备分配的一组由其服务的终端设备组中的最大终端设备数。
在本申请实施方式中,由于用于指示第一索引(索引#1)的二进制比特数可以明显小于上述标识#1或者标识#2,因此在预设时间段内利用所述第一索引区分指示不同终端设备的控制信息可以减小相关的时频资源开销(减小指示控制信息本身的开销),同时满足eMBB和URLLC业务对传输时延和可靠性的要求,实现eMBB业务和URLLC业务的高效共存。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一终端设备属于第一终端设备组;所述第一物理层控制信息还用于指示第一组索引,所述第一组索引用于标识所述第一终端设备组。所述第一终端设备根据所述第一组索引确定自身所在第一终端设备组。即网络设备还可以利用第一物理层控制信息向终端设备指示第一组索引,以使得终端设备根据第一组索引确定自身所在的终端设备组。为了方便叙述,在网络设备为终端设备分组的时候,以网络设备、终端设备#1、控制信息#1和组索引#1(第一组索引的一例)进行说明。同样地,网络设备可 以通过显式或者隐式的方式向终端设备#1指示组索引#1。
在显式指示方法中,网络设备可以通过专用字段或者重用其它字段指示组索引#1,具体可以参照网络设备显式指示索引#1的方式,在此不再赘述。
在隐式指示方法中,网络设备可以通过加扰或者在特定的时频位置发送控制信息#1向终端设备#1指示组索引#1和索引#1。例如至少通过索引#1和组索引#1计算扰码序列;又例如,通过在某个控制资源集合发送控制信息#1指示组索引#1,在该集合的某个位置发送第一个CCE或者REG指示索引#1;或者反之用第一个CCE或者REG所在的控制资源集合指示组索引#1,用第一个CCE或者REG在控制资源集合中的起始位置指示索引#1。具体实施细节与上述显式或者隐式指示索引#1的方法类似,叙述简洁考虑,此处不再赘述。在一种可能的实现方式中,网络设备通过高层信令配置第一组索引的最大取值;或者网络设备通过高层信令配置用于指示第一组索引对应的字段包含的比特数或者有效比特数。
需要说明地是,在网络设备利用控制信息#1向终端设备#1仅指示索引#1的情况下,在某个时间段(例如,某一个或者某几个传输时域单位内)对应不同索引#1的终端设备可以看作是一组终端设备。即,在某个时间段内,该网络设备的该服务小区内,仅有一组被分配了索引#1的终端设备。
此外,第一索引和第一组索引仅为说明示例,还可以为第一标识和第二标识,或者第一设备ID和第二设备ID等。该索引(或者标识,或者设备ID等)仅用于在该索引生效时间范围内(第一时间段内)标识其分配给的终端设备。
需要说明的是当所述至少一个终端设备(即终端设备组)中只包括第一终端设备时,可以认为网络设备是一对一的向第一终端设备发送的,当终端设备组中包括多个终端设备(包含第一终端设备)时,则可以认为是网络设备向终端设备组中的多个终端设备同时发送的。下面具体说明网络设备利用第一物理层控制信息向终端设备指示该终端设备的分组的时候是如何确定终端设备组中具体包括哪些终端设备的,即是如何对终端设备进行分组的。网络设备向终端设备发送控制信道的时候,根据不同终端设备的信道条件为不同终端选择不同聚合水平(Aggregation level)以保证控制信道的传输可靠性。可选地,在本申请实施方法中,网络设备可以根据传输信道质量最差的终端设备选择聚合水平,如此,网络设备可以通过向不同传输质量的终端设备发送同一个第二物理层控制信息,保证组内所有的终端设备对该第二物理层控制信息的正确接收概率超过目标正确接收概率。例如,将聚合等级1和聚合等级2的终端设备编为一组可以采用聚合等级2发送第二物理层控制信息。将聚合等级1和聚合等级8的终端设备编为一组可以采用聚合等级8发送第二物理层控制信息。后一种方法,采用聚合等级8向聚合等级1的终端设备发送第二物理层控制信息会降低用于发送第二物理层控制信息的时频资源的使用效率。因此,进一步地,网络设备可以将对应聚合水平相近的终端设备分配在一个终端设备组中,由此增加用于发送第二物理层控制信息时频资源的使用效率,以避免发送第二物理层控制信息不必要的浪费。可选地,网络设备也可以将业务类型相似的终端设备分为一组,以相似的传输调度频率以及传输时延和传输可靠性服务一组业务传输需求近似的终端设备。网络设备还可以将标识#1或者标识#2接近的终端设备分为一组,便于向终端设备指示组索引#1。例如,仅通过标识#1或者标识#2的若干低位比特指示组索引#1。
下面,具体说明第一时间段是如何定义的,在一种可能的实现方式中,网络设备预先定义第一时间段;或者网络设备通过高层信令(如RRC信令)配置第一时间段;或者网络设备通过第一物理层控制信息中的控制字段明确指示第一时间段。例如由通信标准预定义或者网络设备和/或终端设备#1出厂前预设定,本申请对此不具体限定。例如,通信标准可以预先定义控制信息#1的对应的第一时间段为1ms或者1个子帧或者1个时隙等。
接下来,对其中的网络设备如何通过第一物理层控制信息指示第一时间段进行说明。第一时间段可以是网络设备单独指示给第一终端设备(如终端设备#1)的第一索引(索引#1)的第一时间段;也可以是网络设备同时指示第一索引(索引#1)以及第一组索引(组索引#1)的第一时间段;还可以是指示第一终端设备监测第二物理层控制信息的第一时间段。即终端设备可以在指示的第一时间段内利用索引#1以及组索引#1监测控制信息#2。即本申请中的第一时间段有多种作用,其一,可用于指示第一索引的生效时间范围;其二,可用于指示第一索引以及第一组索引的生效时间范围;其三,可用于指示网络设备可能向第一终端设备发送与第一索引和/或第一组索引相关的第二物理层控制信息的时间范围以及所述第一终端设备监测所述第二物理层控制信息的时间范围。
例如,网络设备可以向终端设备指示时域单位的数量(例如,F个时域单位)。F个时域单位表示从控制信息#1所在的时域单位开始(即该时域单位为第1个时域单位)至第F个时域单位为止的时间段为第一时间段。如果系统采用了时分双工(Time Division Duplexing,TDD)方式,F个时域单位可以表示从控制信息#1所在的时域单位开始(即该时域单位为第1个时域单位)至第F个下行时域单位位置的时间段为第一时间段,关于时域单位的具体含义本申请已有说明,这里不再赘述。又例如,F个时域单位的起始可以是控制信息#1所在时域单位之后的第一个时域单位,还可以是通信标准规定的以控制信息#1为参照点的计算得到的其它时域单位。
需要说明的是,终端设备监测第二物理层控制信息的第一时间段和该第一索引生效的第四时间段可以不一样。例如,当第一物理层控制信息和第二物理层控制信息用于指示终端设备向网络设备发送数据的时候,即第一物理层控制信息和第二物理层控制信息用于调度上行传输的时候,终端设备在第一时间段根据第一索引监测第二物理层控制信息,而在第四时间段根据第二物理层控制信息的指示发送由第一索引指示的数据。此时第一时间段的起始位置在时域上位于第四时间段的起始位置之前。即第二物理层控制信息的发送时间早于终端设备真正需要利用第一索引进行上行数据发送的时间。也就是说,网络设备提前向终端设备发送第二物理层控制信息,让其在接下来的或者是附近的时域单位进行上行数据发送,让其有一小段“充分准备”的时间。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一物理层控制信息可以与一般用于直接调度终端设备接收下行数据或者发送上行数据的控制信息采用相同的控制信息格式。所述“一般用于直接调度终端设备的控制信息”与LTE系统中用于调度终端设备接收下行数据或者发送上行数据的物理下行控制信道类似,即为本领域技术人员可以理解的现有技术,此处不再赘述,以下简称为一般调度控制信息。一般调度控制信息在调度终端设备发送或者接收数据的时候向终端设备指示发送或者接收数据具体的时频资源位置。本发明实施方法的一个例子中,第一物理层控制信息采用与一般调度控制信息相同的方法向终端设备指示时频资源。该时 频资源对应的时域范围,即上述第一索引(或者第一索引和第一组索引)的生效时间范围(第一时间段)。该时频资源对应的频域范围,即终端设备确认第二物理层控制信息包括指示其进行下行数据接收或者上行数据发送的指示信息后,在该第二物理层控制信息对应的时域单位的相应频域范围实施下行数据接收或者上行数据发送。此外,第一物理层控制信息可以通过采用上述重用一般调度控制信息字段的方法(如MCS字段,NDI字段、HARQ进程字段或者RV字段等)向终端设备指示第一索引或者第一索引和第一组索引。
步骤S302:所述网络设备在所述第一时间段内向至少一个终端设备发送所述第二物理层控制信息;所述第一终端设备在所述第一时间段内接收所述网络设备发送的第二物理层控制信息。
具体地,所述至少一个终端设备包括所述第一终端设备,所述第二物理层控制信息包括至少一个控制信息字段,所述至少一个控制信息字段包括第一控制信息字段,所述第一控制信息字段指示所述第一终端设备接收或发送数据,或者所述第一控制信息字段指示所述第一终端设备接收或发送数据或不进行数据的收发。
由于本申请中,网络设备是向至少一个终端设备发送至少一个控制信息字段。因此,终端设备和控制字段之间的数量可能不对等。假设至少一个终端设备包括X个终端设备,至少一个控制信息字段包括Y个控制信息字段,其中,X和Y均为正整数,那么可以分为以下三种情形进行讨论。
情形1:若Y等于X,所述Y个控制信息字段与所述X个终端设备一一对应,且所述第一控制信息字段指示所述第一终端设备接收或发送数据,或者所述第一控制信息字段指示所述第一终端设备接收或发送数据或不进行数据的收发。
具体地,在情形1下终端设备个数等于控制信息字段个数的情况下,又分为两种情况。情况1,X个终端设备均需要业务调度,即都需要进行数据的收或发,此时,控制信息字段的作用就是用于指示收或发。情况2,但是若X个终端设备中不是每一个都需要进行数据收发,但是,X个终端设备中的每一个终端设备又都有对应的控制信息字段,这说明该控制信息字段还用于指示终端设备不进行数据的收发,即说明,在该情况下,每一个终端设备都有对应的控制信息字段,不论是否进行业务调度,都需要针对自身对应的控制信息字段进行读取判断,并根据判断的结果进行业务调度。
情形2:若Y小于X,所述第一控制信息字段指示所述第一终端设备接收或发送数据;
具体地,当Y小于X,则表明接收到第二物理层控制信息的X个终端设备中有终端设备在该第二物理层控制信息中没有其对应的控制信息字段,则此时第一控制信息字段的作用仅仅是指示所述第一终端设备接收或发送数据,而关于指示终端设备不进行数据接收和发送则需要通过其他方式或者其它信息来指示。
在一种可能的实现方式中,可以通过在第二物理层控制信息中不包含终端设备的控制信息字段来指示该终端设备不进行数据的接收或发送。例如,X个终端设备中还包括第二终端设备,网络设备向第二终端设备发送第三物理层控制信息,其中,第三物理层控制信息用于向第二终端设备指示第二索引,以及用于指示第二终端设备在第二时间段监测第四物理层控制信息,第二索引用于第二终端设备确定第四物理层控制信息中与第二终端设备对应的控制信息字段,而第四物理层控制信息在第一时间段和第二时间段重合的第三时间 段内为第二物理层控制信息;在第三时间段内,若Y小于X,且Y个控制信息字段中不包括第二终端设备对应的控制信息字段,则第二物理层控制信息指示第二终端设备不进行数据的收发。即该第二物理层控制信息中有第一终端设备的控制信息字段,没有第二终端设备的控制信息字段,对于第一终端设备来说,则是通过第二物理层控制信息中包含的对应的控制信息字段来指示其进行数据的接收或发送。而对于第二终端设备来说,则是通过在第二物理层控制信息中不包含其对应的控制信息字段来指示其不需要进行数据的收发。需要说明的是,由于本情形是基于第二终端设备也接收到第二物理层控制信息,因此说明,在第二时间段和第一时间段交叠的第三时间段内,第四物理层控制信息实际上就是第二物理层控制信息。
情形3:若Y大于X,所述第一控制信息字段指示所述第一终端设备接收或发送数据或不进行数据的收发。
具体地,Y大于X则表明,控制信息字段个数大于终端设备个数,此时只能说明,控制信息字段是一开始就预设好的,即数目是固定的。即每个终端设备均有一个对应的控制信息字段,而剩下多余的控制信息字段则可能为空也可能是预置比特位。因此在每个终端设备都有对应的控制信息字段的情况下,则可以认为第一控制信息字段可以完整的指示第一终端设备接收或发送数据或不进行数据的收发。
基于上述情形1、2和3中,在一种可能的实现方式中,网络设备预先定义所述Y的值,此时第一控制信息字段指示所述第一终端设备接收或发送数据或不进行数据的收发,原因见上述情形1、2和3的描述,此处不再赘述;或者网络设备向第一终端设备发送高层信令,其中,所述高层信令用于指示所述Y的值,此时Y的值可以是灵活变化的。
在第一终端设备属于第一终端设备组,且第一物理层控制信息还用于指示第一组索引的情况下,在一种可能的实现方式中,所述第二物理层控制信息由第一扰码序列加扰,所述第一扰码序列至少由所述第一组索引或小区ID计算得到。即网络设备可以使用控制信息#2(第二物理层控制信息的一例)的专用标识或者专用扰码指示该控制信息为控制信息#2,以区分控制信息#1或者其它的控制信息。其中,专用标识可以是控制信息格式/索引/指示/标识(control information format index/indication/flag)等;专用扰码则可以为根据小区ID或者载波ID计算出的扰码序列,具体加扰方式可以是对控制信息#2的CRC比特序列进行加扰,或者对该控制信息#2的信息比特序列进行加扰,或者对该控制信息#2的信息比特和CRC比特进行加扰。网络设备也可以根据小区ID(或者载波ID)以及控制信息#2所在的时域单位索引(例如,迷你时隙索引、时隙索引、子帧索引以及帧索引中的一种或者多种)计算扰码序列。终端设备则可以利用从第一物理层控制信息中获得的第一组索引(例如,组索引#1)对第二物理层控制信息进行解扰,识别该第二物理层控制信息是否为发送给该终端设备所在的终端设备组的第二物理层控制信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,网络设备在第一时间段内向至少一个终端设备发送第二物理层控制信息,具体为:网络设备在第一时间段内在公共搜索空间发送第二物理层控制信息,该公共搜索空间为至少一个终端设备公用的或者是服务小区公用的搜索空间。对应地,第一终端设备在第一时间段内接收网络设备在公共搜索空间发送的第二物理层控制信息,公共搜索空间为第一终端设备所在终端设备组所公用的或者是服务小区公用的搜索空间, 终端设备组至少包括第一终端设备。
从终端设备侧来讲,第一终端设备(终端设备#1)根据第一物理层控制信息(控制信息#1)确定第一索引(索引#1)之后,第一终端设备利用索引#1在第一时间段内监测第二物理层控制信息(控制信息#2)。由于控制信息#2至少发给终端设备#1,即控制信息#2也可以发给其它终端设备,如终端设备#2和终端设备#3。也即是说,控制信息#2可以同时发送给多个终端设备。为了接收控制信息的终端设备能判断其接收到的控制信息是否正确,每个控制信息需要添加CRC校验比特,例如16比特CRC校验比特或者24比特CRC校验比特或者其它数量的CRC校验比特。例如,如果控制信息#2仅发送给一个终端设备,参照现有LTE系统,该控制信息2需要添加至少16比特CRC校验比特,以使得接收该控制信息#2的终端设备能够利用该CRC校验比特确定接收到的控制信息是否正确。而采用本申请的实施方式后,控制信息#2可以同时发送给多个终端设备,一个控制信息#2仅需要添加一份CRC校验比特,所有接收该控制信息#2的终端设备都能够利用这一份CRC校验比特确定接收到的控制信息是否正确,如此一来便可以有效地减小发送控制信息#2所使用的时频资源。进一步地,终端设备#1可以通过专用标识或者专用扰码确定控制信息#2是否是发送给自己的或者自己所在的终端设备组的,即终端设备#1可以确定自己是否是控制信息#2的潜在接收终端设备。
进一步地,具体说明终端设备如何监测第一物理层控制信息和第二物理层控制信息。假设第一终端设备以M个时域单位为周期监测所述第一物理层控制信息,且以N个时域单位为周期监测所述第二物理层控制信息,其中,M和N均为大于或者等于1的正整数。M和N的取值可以由网络设备通过高层信令(如RRC信令)进行配置,也可以预先预定,例如由通信标准预定义或者网络设备和/或终端设备出厂前预设定。
在一个具体的应用场景中,例如M个时域单位的总时长为1ms或者0.5ms,N等于1。如M个时域单位总时长为1ms,采用15kHz子载波间隔,一个时域单位为一个包含两个时域符号的迷你时隙,M等于7。又例如,M个时域单位总时长为0.5ms,采用15kHz子载波间隔,一个时域单位为一个迷你时隙,M等于3,每0.5ms里包含的3个迷你时隙分别包含2个、2个和3个时域符号,或者分别包含3个、2个、2个时域符号。又例如M个时域单位总时长为1ms,采用30kHz子载波间隔,一个时域单位为一个时隙,M等于4,每个时隙包含7个时域符号,一个时隙的持续时间为0.25ms。再例如M个时域单位总时长为1ms,采用60kHz子载波间隔,一个时域单位为一个时隙,M等于8,每个时隙包含7个时域符号,一个时隙的持续时间为0.125ms。上述关于M和N的举例仅为了方便理解本申请的申请内容,本申请对此不作具体限制。在又一个例子中,根据通信标准协议规定,终端设备可以理解所述索引#1(或者索引#1和组索引#1)的生效时间范围的截止时间为下一个可能收到第一物理层控制信息时域单位之前(即下一个终端设备监测第一控制信道的时域单位之前),而起始时间可以是第一物理层控制信息所在的时域单位或者第一物理层控制信息所在的时域单位的下一个时域单位或者第一物理层控制信息指定的时域单位。又或者,根据通信标准协议规定,终端设备可以理解所述索引#1(或者索引#1和组索引#1)的生效时间范围的截止时间为下一个收到第一物理层控制信息时域单位之前(即下一个终端设备监测到的第一物理层控制信息所在的时域单位之前),而起始时间可以是第一物理层控制信 息所在的时域单位或者第一物理层控制信息所在的时域单位的下一个时域单位或者第一物理层控制信息指定的时域单位。
可选地,数值M大于数值N。网络设备准备调度终端设备接收下行数据或者发送上行数据,并通过第一物理层控制信息为终端设备配置一部分与调度相关的信息。终端设备接收到第一物理层控制信息后,以比监测第一物理层控制信息更密集的频率监测第二物理层控制信息。也即是说,终端设备监测第二物理层控制信息的周期小于监测第一物理层控制信息的周期。网络设备利用第二物理层控制信息实际调度第一终端设备接收下行数据或者发送上行数据。这样做,即使调度单位为比较小的时域单位,也不会明显增加用于发送控制信息的时频资源。例如,在没有数据传输的时候,第一终端设备以较大的周期监测第一物理层控制信息,在网络设备准备(计划)调度与该终端设备相应的数据传输(发送上行数据或者接收下行数据)的时候,终端设备以较小的监测周期监测第二物理层控制信息及时获得调度信息。如此一来,在保证调度效率相同的情况下,有效节省终端设备用于监测控制信息的能量。或者说,即使调度单位为比较小的时域单位,采用此种调度方法也不会明显提升终端设备监测控制信息时所消耗的能量。更进一步地,M个较小时间调度单位与一个较大时间调度单位相当,上述第一物理层控制信息所使用的时频资源与采用较大时间调度单位时控制信息使用的时频资源相当。上述第二物理层控制信息采用公共控制信息的方法,调度多个终端设备仅花费一份CRC校验比特开销又无需指示终端设备的较长标识(耗费较多的比特信息),有效地节省了第二物理层控制信息使用的时频资源。综上,使用本申请的实施方法可以达到即使采用较小的时间调度单位,用于传输控制信息的时频资源也不会明显上升,终端设备用于监测控制信息能够与采用较大时间调度单位相当,且能提供更好的调度机会。为了更好地减小第二物理层控制信息所占用的时频资源,可以尽可能多地由第一物理层控制信息承载调度相关的指示信息。
以下结合图4-图8,具体说明监测第一物理层控制信息和第二物理层控制信息的具体时序位置,需要说明的是,图4-图8的上下两个图对应同一个时域,只是为了方便说明,分别站在第一物理层控制信息和第二物理层控制信息的角度进行的描述。其中,
图4是本申请实施例提供的一种第一物理层控制信息和第二物理层控制信息的监测时序图;图4中时序图中的第1个时域单位为终端设备监测第一物理层控制信息的位置,在监测到第一物理层控制信息之后,紧接着就在第一时间段内(第2个时域单位-第8个时域单位)监测第二物理层控制信息,之后,又在监测第一物理层控制信息的周期处(第9个时域单位)继续监测第一物理层控制信息。
图5是本申请实施例提供的另一种第一物理层控制信息和第二物理层控制信息的监测时序图;图5与图4的区别在于,在第1个时域单位监测到第一物理层控制信息之后,就可以立即在从该时域单位内的其它频域处开始监测查找对应的第二物理层控制信息,即第一物理层控制信息和第二物理层控制信息可以在同一个时域单位的不同频域上进行发送。
图6是本申请实施例提供的又一种第一物理层控制信息和第二物理层控制信息的监测时序图;图6与图4和图5的区别在于接收第一物理层控制信息的时间和第一时间段的起始时间上可以相隔多个时域单位。
图7是本申请实施例提供的又一种第一物理层控制信息和第二物理层控制信息的监测 时序图;图7和图6的区别在于接收第一物理层控制信息的时间和第一时间段的起始时间上可以相隔更多的时域单位,甚至可以跨度几个监测第一物理层控制信息的周期。
图8是本申请实施例提供的又一种第一物理层控制信息和第二物理层控制信息的监测时序图;图8与图4的区别在于,监测第一物理层控制信息的时间点可以是除了第一时间段以外的其它所有时域单位。即只要监测到第一物理层控制信息,则在对应的第一时间段内无需再监测第一物理层控制信息;而如果没有监测到第二物理层控制信息,则可以在每个时域单位上监测第一物理层控制信息,当然也可以间隔一定的时域单位来监测第一物理层控制信息,本申请对此不作具体限定。
以上为结合附图4-附图8对监测第一物理层控制信息和第二物理层控制信息的具体时序位置的几种可实施的方式进行的说明,可以理解的是,本申请还包含其它可能的实施方式,在此不再一一列举,
综上,可以理解的是,网络设备向第一终端设备发送第一物理层控制信息的目的在于为终端设备分配临时识别标识(索引#1),而向终端设备发送第二物理层控制信息的目的在于指示终端设备接收下行数据或者发送上行数据,或者不进行任何数据的传输。进一步地,该下行数据或者上行数据为该终端设备的专有数据。或者说,该下行数据或者上行数据不是广播信息或者系统信息。
步骤S303:所述第一终端设备根据所述第一索引确定所述第二物理层控制信息中所述第一终端设备对应的所述第一控制信息字段。
具体地,关于第一终端设备如何确定控制信息#2中是否包含发送给自己的控制信息字段需要进行确认。下面结合示例性实现方式具体说明终端设备#1如何根据索引#1确定控制信息#2中是否包含了发送给自己的控制信息字段,以及进一步确定发送给自己的控制信息内容的。
方式1:
在方式1中,所述第二物理层控制信息(控制信息#2)包括所述第一终端设备组中的各个终端设备的控制信息字段,所述控制信息字段个数Y与本次需要指示的终端设备的个数X一致。例如,网络设备确定本次需要指示2个终端设备,控制信息#2包含2个控制信息字段,每个控制信息字段对应一个被指示的终端设备,或者,本次需要指示4个终端设备,则包含4个控制信息字段,每个控制信息字段对应一个被指示的终端设备。采用方式1的有益效果是,当所指示的(所调度的)终端设备数量较少的时候,可以有效节省控制信息#2所占的时频资源,即发送控制信息#2使用的时频资源。方式1对应的一个具体应用场景如图9所示,图9是本申请实施例提供的控制信息发送、接收方法的具体应用场景示意图,当前网络设备能够同时支持的最大终端设备数量为8(或者说控制信息#1中用于指示索引#1的比特数为3,或者索引#1的取值为从0到7的整数),本次调度控制信息#2用于指示与索引0、索引1、索引5、索引7相应的四个终端设备。控制信息#2包含4个控制信息字段,每个集合前面包含终端设备的索引#1字段,即每个控制信息字段由相应的索引#1字段指示。方式1对应的另一个具体应用场景如图10所示,图10是本申请实施例提供的控制信息发送、接收方法的另一个具体应用场景示意图,每个控制信息字段对应的索引#1也可以显式地包含在该控制信息字段里面。或者,每个控制信息字段可以由至少根据其 索引#1进行计算的扰码序列进行加扰。所述扰码序列除根据索引#1进行计算以外,还可以将所指示的终端设备的标识#1或者标识#2作为计算参数。或者,该扰码序列至少根据索引#1以及所指示的终端设备的标识#1或者标识#2以及控制信息#2所在的时域单位索引(例如,迷你时隙索引、时隙索引、子帧索引以及帧索引中的一种或者多种)进行计算。
可选地,在所述控制信息字段个数Y随着本次需要指示的终端设备的个数X改变的情况下,网络设备可以发送第五控制信息,指示第二物理层控制信息所包含的字段数目Y。终端设备可以根据第五控制信息指示的字段数目Y对第二物理层控制信息进行检测。这种实施方法有助于减小终端设备检测第二物理层控制信息时的计算复杂度。
方式2:
在方式2中,所述第二物理层控制信息包括所述第一终端设备组中的各个终端设备的控制信息字段,所述控制信息字段个数Y与当前网络设备能够同时支持的最大终端设备数量一致,或者与网络设备通过RRC信令配置的最大支持终端设备数量一致。即无论网络设备本次调度指示几个终端设备,控制信息#2包含的控制信息字段个数Y的数目是固定不变的。例如,当前网络设备能够同时支持的最大终端设备数量为8,无论本次调度指示几个终端设备,控制信息#2都固定包含8个控制信息字段。方式2对应的一个具体应用场景如图11所示,图11是本申请实施例提供的控制信息发送、接收方法的又一个具体应用场景示意图;各个控制信息字段按顺序排列,当前网络设备能够同时支持的最大终端设备数量为8,本次调度控制信息#2用于指示与索引0、索引1、索引5、索引7相应的四个终端设备。集合0、集合1、集合5和集合7中包含有内容(即发送给相应终端设备的指示信息或指示信息集合),其它集合不包含内容(所有控制信息比特置零或者置为默认值)。图11中,不包含内容的集合由灰色标注。采用方式2的有益效果是,保持控制信息#2的整体信息比特数目一致,有利于减少终端设备盲目检测的次数,进而节省终端设备的电量。
可以理解的是,即使如上述方式2中所述,控制信息字段个数Y与网络设备当前支持的最大终端数目一致,也可以采用方式1中所述的方法显式或者隐式指示该字段索引。
在上述方式1或者方式2中,不同控制信息字段的大小可以相同也可以不同。如果控制信息字段的大小不同,可以在每一个控制信息字段的起始位置有明确标识或者终止位置有明确标识,以便于终端设备接收到控制信息#2之后能够正确的区分各个控制信息字段。无论采用上述方式1或者方式2,终端设备#1均可以根据索引#1,或者索引#1和组索引#1确定上述控制信息#2中是否包含指示给自己的控制信息。例如,网络设备采用方式1发送控制信息#2,终端设备#1可以根据显式或者隐式指示的索引#1(或者索引#1和组索引#1)是否与自己的索引#1(或者索引#1和组索引#1)一致判断该控制信息#2是否包含有发送给自己的控制信息字段。网络设备采用方式2发送控制信息#2,终端设备#1可以根据显式或者隐式指示的索引#1(或者索引#1和组索引#1)定位到与自己的索引#1(或者索引#1和组索引#1)一致的控制信息字段,并根据该字段是否包含内容(具体方法如上所述)判断该控制信息#2是否包含有发送给自己的控制信息字段。
可以理解的是,若终端设备在整个第一时间段内没有接收到或监测到第二物理层控制信息,那么则可以理解为网络设备指示该终端设备不发送且不接收数据。
可选地,本申请实施例还可以包括以下步骤S304。
步骤S304:所述第一终端设备根据所述第一控制信息字段使用所述资源指示信息所指示的资源接收或发送数据。
具体地,所述第一物理层控制信息包括资源指示信息;所述第一控制信息字段指示所述第一终端设备使用所述资源指示信息所指示的资源接收或者发送数据,所述资源包括频域资源,或者时域资源或者时频资源。即,将时域资源和/或频域资源放在专用且在第一时间段内只发送一次的第一物理层控制信息中,避免在后续可能多次发送的第二物理层控制信息中重复发送该资源指示信息,节省控制信息的开销。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一物理层控制信息还包括第一参数集合;第一参数集合包括调制与编码方案MCS索引、混合自动重传请求进程HARQ process索引、新数据指示NDI、冗余版本RV索引、HARQ确认反馈HARQ-ACK feedback时频资源指示、下行分配索引DAI、第一索引和第一时间段中的至少一种;第一控制信息字段指示第一终端设备根据第一传输相关信息接收或发送数据。第一终端设备根据第一控制信息字段以及第一参数集合接收或发送数据。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一物理层控制信息还包括第二传输相关信息;第二参数集合包括调制与编码方案MCS索引、HARQ确认反馈HARQ-ACK feedback时频资源指示、下行分配索引DAI、第一索引和第一时间段中的至少一种;第二物理层控制信息还包括第三参数集合;第三参数集合包括HARQ确认索引HARQ process index、新数据指示NDI、冗余版本RV索引、HARQ确认反馈HARQ-ACK feedback时频资源指示和下行分配索引DAI中的至少一种;第一控制信息字段指示第一终端设备根据第二参数集合和第三参数集合接收或发送数据。第一终端设备根据第一控制信息字段以及第二参数集合和第三参数集合接收或发送数据。
接下来,通过举例来展开说明第一物理层控制信息以及第二物理层控制信息具体承载的内容:
示例1:
第一物理层控制信息承载下述信息中的至少一种:
①时频资源指示信息
②MCS(索引)
③HARQ process(索引)
④NDI
⑤RV(索引)
⑥HARQ-ACK feedback时频资源指示
⑦DAI
⑧分配给所述终端设备的索引(包含第一索引,或者第一索引和第一组索引)
⑨时间范围
其中,所述时频资源指示信息可以是第一时间段内的某一段频域资源。即终端设备接收到第二物理层控制信息之后,即在第二物理层控制信息所在的时域单位内的相应频域资源进行发送或者接收信号。所述时频资源指示信息也可以是第一时间段内的第二物理层控制信息所在时域单位内的一块时频资源。例如,第二物理层控制信息所在时域单位内的一 个迷你时隙内的一段频域资源。即终端设备接收到第二物理层控制信息之后,即在第二物理层控制信息所在的时域单位内的相应的时频资源进行发送或者接收信号。第一物理层控制信息还用于指示此次调度是用于调度终端设备接收下行数据还是发送上行数据。需要说明的是,当第一物理层控制信息中有指示时域资源的话,便可以只在对应的时域单位或者在临近的时域单位监听第二物理层控制信息,而无需在整个第一时间段内进行监听。
若第二物理层控制信息仅仅指示是否调度的时候,第二物理层控制信息可以发送所调度(所指示)的终端设备的第一索引,或者根据第一索引排列比特,可选地,比特为0表示此次没有调度,比特为1表示此次实施调度。例如当前网络设备同时调度终端设备数目为8,第二物理层控制信息包含8比特(不含CRC校验位),从左至右(或者从右至左)每比特对应一个终端设备,对应比特为0时表示此次没有被调度,对应比特为1时表示此次被调度了。其中的“此次”可以表示控制信息#2所在的时域单位,或者由通信标准规定的控制信息#2指示生效的时域单位或者时域单位集合。此种实施方法为上述方式2的一个例子,即索引#1由比特顺序指示,每个控制信息字段仅包含1比特指示信息。
此外,第二物理层控制信息还可以为每次调度指示下行分配索引(Downlink Assignment Index,DAI)比特,例如对于第一终端设备(或者某一个由第二物理层控制信息调度的终端设备)的每个第二物理层控制信息调度的数据独立反馈HARQ确认信息(HARQACKnowledge,HARQ-ACK)比特(每次反馈至少一比特HARQ-ACK比特)或者每几个第二物理层控制信息调度的数据一起反馈HARQ-ACK比特(每次反馈至少一比特HARQ-ACK比特)。这种情况下,在一个第一物理层控制信息调度的第一时间段的范围内(或者说,由第一物理层控制信息指示的索引#1或者索引#1和组索引#1的生效的第一时间段范围内),每个第二物理层控制信息调度的传输可以属于相同HARQ进程。每个第二物理层控制信息调度传输的可以是一个传输块(transport block),或者一个编码块,或者一个编码块组。
示例2:
第一物理层控制信息承载以下信息中的至少一种:
①时频资源指示信息
②MCS索引
③HARQ-ACK feedback时频资源指示
④DAI
⑤分配给所述终端设备的索引(包含第一索引,或者第一索引和第一组索引)
⑥时间范围
第二物理层控制信息承载以下信息中的至少一种:
①HARQ process index
②NDI
③RV索引
④HARQ-ACK feedback时频资源指示
⑤DAI
在示例2的情况下,在一个第一物理层控制信息调度的第一时间段内,每个第二物理 层控制信息调度的传输可以属于不同混合自动重传请求(Hybrid Automatic Repeat Req,HARQ)进程。可以仅由第一物理层控制信息包含HARQ-ACK feedback时频资源指示和DAI信息,也可以是第一物理层控制信息包含HARQ-ACK feedback时频资源指示而第二物理层控制信息包含DAI信息。这种情况下,所有第一物理层控制信息在第一时间段内接收到的数据或者发送的数据在一个HARQ-ACK ACKnowledge消息中反馈。还可以仅由第二物理层控制信息包含HARQ-ACK feedback时频资源指示和DAI信息,如此一来,每个第二物理层控制信息调度的接收数据或者发送数据分别对应不同的HARQ-ACK比特(可以包含在一个HARQ-ACK消息中,也可以包含在不同的HARQ-ACK消息中,取决于网络设备的配置和指示)。如果网络设备调度终端设备发送数据,由终端设备向网络设备反馈与该数据相应的HARQ-ACK比特。如果网络设备调度终端设备接收数据,由网络设备向终端设备反馈与该数据相应的HARQ-ACK比特。
此外,在示例2中,网络设备可以在第一物理层控制信息中重用调制编码方案(Modulation and Coding Scheme,MCS)索引字段、新数据指示(New data indicator,NDI)字段、HARQ进程字段以及冗余版本(Redundancy Version,RV)字段中的一个字段或者一个以上字段指示分配给所述终端设备的第一索引。或者网络设备可以在第一物理层控制信息中重用MCS索引字段、NDI字段、HARQ进程字段以及RV字段中的一个字段或者一个以上字段指示分配给所述终端设备的第一索引和第一组索引。又或者,网络设备可以在第一物理层控制信息中重用MCS索引字段、NDI字段、HARQ进程字段以及RV字段中的一个字段或者一个以上字段指示所述第一物理层控制信息生效的第一时间段范围内(或者第一索引生效的第一时间段,或者该终端设备监测第二物理层控制信息的第一时间段)。
综上描述,并结合本申请中提到的其中一种应用场景(eMBB业务和URLLC业务高效共存),可以理解的是,第一物理层控制信息的主要作用是告知第一终端设备接下来一段时间内若要进行业务传输的话,所需要使用的时频资源以及传输策略等。即网络设备在获知第一终端设备需要进行资源传输的情况下,向第一终端设备发送第一物理层控制信息,告诉终端设备在接下来的时间范围内,在具体哪些资源上以及以何种方式进行数据传输。但是因为考虑到URLLC业务的随机性,因此不确定在接下来的时间范围内,是否一定可以按照“原计划”进行传输,所以还需要在后续更临近对应时域资源的位置处进一步通知确认第一终端设备知否最终按照“原计划”执行数据传输,以满足URLLC业务的随机传输要求。
当然,若没有URLLC业务的随机到来,即只以较小时域单位传输eMBB业务的话,也可以避免由于原有时域单位被划分成n分,而需要将控制信息中的所有控制信息内容重复发送n次,所浪费的控制信息所占用的资源。并且在终端的角度来说,若只是按照现有的技术思路,可能会导致终端设备在n个时域单位上都需要监测是否有自己的控制信息,但是采用本申请中的方案,只需要在接收到第一物理层控制信息后对应的第一时间段内进行监测,节省了终端设备的开销。
