Combined in this application.

Technical field

Background technique

In a system based on Orthogonal Frequency Duplex Multiplexing (OFDM), the subcarrier spacing in a certain subband is inversely proportional to the length of the OFDM symbol corresponding to the subband, that is, the larger the subcarrier spacing, the OFDM symbol The shorter the length.

In addition, different types of subcarrier spacing can be used to transmit different services. Therefore, the base station can implement transmission of different services by adjusting the slot format of the slot. Taking a time slot containing 7 OFDM symbols as an example, the slot format may be 7 OFDM symbols for downlink transmission (only DL), or both for uplink transmission (only UL), or most symbols for uplink transmission ( UL centric), or most symbols are used for DL centric.

That is to say, in the conventional solution, the terminal device only supports the same seed carrier interval type in a certain time domain resource, that is, corresponds to one slot format, and only one type of service can be transmitted. However, current terminal devices and base stations are capable of supporting types having different subcarrier spacings in different frequency ranges, and therefore a method of determining a slot format in such a scenario is urgently needed.

And may be an evolved base station (eNB or eNodeB) in the LTE system, or may be a wireless controller in a cloud radio access network (CRAN) scenario, or the network device may be The embodiments of the present application are not limited to the relay station, the access point, the in-vehicle device, the wearable device, and the network device in the future 5G network or the network device in the future evolved PLMN network.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the present application. The communication system in FIG. 1 may include at least one terminal device 10 and a network device 20. The network device 20 is configured to provide communication services for each terminal device 10 and access the core network. For example, the network device 20 can be used to send configuration information, a downlink control channel, and a data channel to each terminal device 10, and receive each terminal. The uplink data channel and the uplink control channel and the like sent by the device 10.

The arrows shown in FIG. 1 may represent uplink/downlink transmissions by a cellular link between the terminal device 10 and the network device 20.

In an OFDM-based system, the subcarrier spacing is inversely proportional to the length of the OFDM symbol, ie, the larger the subcarrier spacing, the shorter the OFDM symbol length. FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the correspondence between different subcarrier spacings and OFDM symbols. As shown in FIG. 2, the subcarrier spacing is a correspondence between 15 kHz and 60 kHz and OFDM symbols, respectively. Within the system bandwidth of a serving cell, different subcarrier spacing frequency division multiplexing can be set to meet the needs of different services. For example, the Evolved Mobile Broadband (eMBB) service operates in a frequency range of 15 kHz subcarrier spacing, and the Ultra Reliability Low Latency Communication (URLLC) service operates at a frequency of 30 kHz or 60 kHz. Within the scope. The device capability of the UE determines the type of subcarrier spacing that the UE can support. For example, a certain type of UE can have both eMBB service and URLCC service. The UE can work in the frequency range of the subcarrier spacing type of 15 kHz, and can work. In the frequency range of the subcarrier spacing type of 30 kHz or 60 kHz.

As shown in FIG. 2, the OFDM system uses Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) to transform an OFDM symbol in a time domain to a corresponding subcarrier in the frequency domain, and inverse transform of the subcarrier in the frequency domain by FFT. That is, the Inverse Fast Fourier Transformation (IFFT) is changed into an OFDM symbol in the time domain. In an OFDM-based system, the subcarrier spacing is inversely proportional to the length of the OFDM symbol, that is, the time length of the corresponding one OFDM symbol when the type of the subcarrier spacing is 15 kHz is one OFDM symbol corresponding to the type of the subcarrier spacing of 60 kHz. 4 times the length of time. In a serving cell, the data is transmitted based on a Transmission Time Interval (TTI), that is, one data transmission, and the length of time is 1 TTI. Specifically, one TTI may be one subframe 1 ms, or one slot. The slot can be a relative unit, that is, only the number of OFDM symbols included in the slot is defined. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, one slot contains 7 OFDM symbols. When the type of subcarrier spacing is 15 kHz, the absolute time length of one slot is 0.5 ms, and when the type of subcarrier spacing is 60 kHz, the absolute of one slot. The length of time is 0.125ms.

The serving cell supports dynamic service changes, and the serving cell can dynamically change the format of the time slot. 3 is a schematic diagram of a slot format. As shown in FIG. 3, a slot slot containing 7 OFDM symbols is taken as an example. 7 OFDM symbols in a slot can be used in the downlink, or both can be used in the uplink, and the partial symbols can be used as the downlink, or part of the symbols. For the upside. The change of the slot format can be determined according to the service change of the serving cell, for example, each slot is different.

In the conventional solution, the terminal device receives the indication information sent by the base station at the start time of the time slot corresponding to the certain sub-band, and determines the slot format of the corresponding time slot according to the indication information to transmit the corresponding service. That is to say, in the conventional solution, the terminal device only supports the same seed carrier interval type in a certain time domain resource, that is, corresponds to one slot format, and only one type of service can be transmitted. However, current terminal devices and base stations are capable of supporting types having different subcarrier spacings in different frequency ranges, and therefore a method of determining a slot format in such a scenario is urgently needed.

FIG. 4 is a schematic flowchart of a method for determining a slot format in an embodiment of the present application.

401. The terminal device receives the first indication information sent by the network device, and correspondingly, the network device sends the first indication information to the terminal device. The first indication information is used to indicate a slot format corresponding to the reference subband in the multiple subbands.

Optionally, before receiving the first indication information, the terminal device may further report the capability information to the network device, where the capability information is used to indicate a type of the subcarrier spacing supported by the terminal device. The network device determines, according to the received capability information, the type of the subcarrier spacing supported by the network device and the terminal device in combination with the type of the subcarrier spacing supported by the network device, and sends the third indication information to the network device to notify the terminal device network device. The type of subcarrier spacing for the selected reference.

That is, the network device selects the type of subcarrier spacing that both the terminal device and the network device can support. If there are multiple types of subcarrier spacings that can be supported by both the terminal device and the network device, the network device can arbitrarily select one of the subcarrier spacing types as the reference subcarrier spacing type, or set different subband priorities in advance. Select the type of subcarrier spacing of the reference, and so on. This application does not limit this.

It should be understood that, in this embodiment of the present application, the type of different subcarrier spacing may be different in frequency domain spacing between adjacent subcarriers in a certain subband.

Or the third indication information may be terminal device specific, or terminal device group specific, for example, carried in Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

It should be understood that the network device may support multiple serving cells at the same time, and the corresponding third indication information may be sent for each serving cell, or a third indication information may indicate multiple serving cells, which is not limited in this application.

Optionally, the network device may not send the third indication information to the terminal device, where the terminal device may preset a type of subcarrier spacing that is commonly supported by the network device.

Optionally, the terminal device reports the capability information to the network device, where the capability information may “explicitly” indicate the type of the subcarrier spacing supported by the terminal device. For example, the capability information includes a type of the subcarrier spacing supported by the terminal device. The capability information may also be an "implicit" type indicating the subcarrier spacing supported by the terminal device. For example, the reporting capability information may include a service type supported by the terminal device. The network device can learn the type of subcarrier spacing supported by the terminal device according to the service type supported by the terminal device, because different service types correspond to different types of subcarrier spacing. For example, the eMMB service corresponds to a type of 15 kHz subcarrier spacing, and the URLLC service corresponds to a type of 30 kHz or 60 kHz subcarrier spacing.

Optionally, the system can also set the type of subcarrier spacing that all terminal devices support by default, for example, 15 kHz, so that the terminal device can also report the type of subcarrier spacing of this type, and only report the additional support of the terminal device. The type of carrier spacing.

Optionally, when the terminal device does not receive the third indication information sent by the network device, the terminal device may determine the reference subframe by using a type of the subcarrier spacing supported by the preset network device and a type of the subcarrier spacing supported by the terminal device. band.

Optionally, the terminal device may receive the first indication information in the reference subband. That is, the network device sends the first indication information in the reference subband. That is, regardless of which subband (which may be referred to as a "target subband") the terminal device is prepared to receive data, the first indication information needs to be received on the reference subband.

It should be understood that the network device may send the first indication information in each of a plurality of time slots corresponding to the reference subband, or may send the first indication in any one of a plurality of time slots corresponding to the reference subband. An indication message. Or the terminal device receives the first indication information in a certain time slot of the reference subband by preset with the network device.

Optionally, the network device sends the first indication information in each of a plurality of time slots corresponding to each of the plurality of subbands. Correspondingly, the terminal device can also receive the first indication information in each of the plurality of time slots corresponding to the target sub-band, thereby improving the accuracy of the first indication information received by the terminal device.

Optionally, the terminal device may further receive the first indication information in a first time slot of the multiple time slots corresponding to the target sub-band, thereby saving system power consumption. The first time slot may be any one of the multiple time slots, or may be the first time slot of the multiple time slots, which is not limited in this application.

Optionally, the first indication information may be carried in the downlink control information or in the downlink control channel region, which is not limited in this application.

Optionally, as an embodiment, the network device may send the fifth indication information to the terminal device, where the fifth indication information is used to indicate whether the serving cell where the terminal device is located supports dynamically changing the slot format. The terminal device determines, according to the fifth indication information, whether the first indication information needs to be monitored. When determining that the serving cell where the terminal device is located supports dynamically changing the slot format, the terminal device monitors and receives the first indication information.

402. The terminal device determines, according to the first indication information, a slot format corresponding to the reference subband. The slot format corresponding to the reference subband may be any of the slot formats in FIG.

Optionally, the terminal device may preset the slot format corresponding to the reference subband with the network device, so that the terminal device does not need to perform step 401, that is, the terminal device may directly determine the slot format corresponding to the reference subband.

The terminal device determines, according to the slot format corresponding to the reference subband, a slot format corresponding to the target subband in the multiple subbands, where the type of the subcarrier spacing in the target subband is spaced from the subcarrier in the reference subband.
