Description

一种DMRS指示和接收方法,发射端和接收端
本申请要求于2017年8月11日提交中国专利局、申请号为201710686645.9、申请名称为“一种DMRS指示和接收方法,发射端和接收端”的中国专利申请,以及于2017年11月17日提交中国专利局、申请号为201711147995.4、申请名称为“一种DMRS指示和接收方法,发射端和接收端”的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS)指示和接收方法,发射端和接收端。
背景技术
多输入多输出(英文全称:Multiple-Input Multiple-Output,英文简称:MIMO)技术利用空间维度的资源,可以在不增加系统带宽的前提下,使信号在空间获得阵列增益、复用和分集增益以及干扰抵消增益,成倍地提升通信系统的容量和频谱效率。例如,在长期演进(英文全称:Long Term Evolution,英文简称:LTE)系统中,单用户(single user,SU)最大支持8层正交DMRS端口复用,DMRS占用24个RE。具体的:在频域上,DMRS端口可以映射在每个资源块(resource block,RB)对(pair)的第0、1、5、6、10、11个子载波上;在时域上,DMRS端口可以映射在每个子帧的5、6、12和13个符号上。如图1所示。
然而随着人们对高速率、高可靠性、低延迟等通信要求的不断提高,现代通信系统将一直面临着更大容量、更广覆盖和更低延迟的挑战,这些需求也成为未来网络(英文全称:new radio,英文简称:NR)的关键需求。
在通信系统的接收端解调过程中,相比于非相干解调,相干解调性能更好,且具有3dB左右的优势,因而相干解调更广泛被现代通信系统所采用。然而OFDM系统对每个载波的调制都是抑制载波的,接收端的相干解调是需要基准信号的,又称作导频信号或者参考信号(英文全称:Reference Signal,英文简称:RS),它们在OFDM符号内分布于时频二维空间中不同的资源单元(英文全称:Resource Element,英文简称:RE)上,具有已知的幅度和相位。同样在MIMO系统中,各根发送天线(虚拟天线或物理天线)具有独立的数据信道,基于预知的RS信号,接收机针对每根发送天线进行信道估计,并基于此还原发送数据。
信道估计指的是为了补偿信道衰落和噪声而重建接收信号的过程,它利用发送机与接收机预知的RS来追踪信道的时域和频域变化。例如,为了实现高阶多天线系统的数据解调,LTE/-A系统定义了解调参考信号(英文全称:Demodulation Reference Signal,英文简称:DMRS),该参考信号用于上下行控制信道和数据信道如物理下 行共享信道(英文全称:Physical Downlink Share Channel,英文简称:PDSCH)的解调。
DMRS和用户数据采用相同的预处理方式,其特点为:
1)用户特定(UE-specific)的,即每个终端数据与其对应的解调参考信号采用相同的预编码矩阵。
2)从网络侧来看,各层传输的DMRS相互正交。
3)DMRS一般被用来支持波束成形和预编码技术,因而只在被调度的资源块上发送,发送的数量与数据流数(或称为层数)相关,与天线端口一一对应,而非物理天线数,前者小于或等于后者,两者通过层映射和预编码联系起来。
在现行标准中,下行采用DMRS的最大可以支持正交数据流数为8个,每个PRB pair里面资源开销为24个Re,DMRS以块状导频形式分布于各个PRB内。各个端口(port)分别占用12个RE,即其port密度相同。同时,DMRS的序列设计依据各个port的密度确定,因而其长度为定值。
然而,新空口(英文全称:New Radio,英文简称:NR)支持的场景更为多样化,因而会支持多种模式(pattern),例如为适应不同频段数据传输,复用方式会有着很大的不同。并且,为了进一步满足更大容量传输需求,数据信道的DMRS的最大可支持正交数据流数会大于8个,如3gpp RAN1 #88bis会议已经支持正交12 DMRS ports。
此外,相比于LTE系统中的收发天线都非常低,因此MU配对时所支持的MU维度较低,如在MU调度时,允许单个用户最大层数为2层,总正交层数为4层。但在未来网络中,4RX终端可能作为收天线维度的基线而存在,此时MU维度将会发生变化。
在实际传输中,基站需要告知终端其分配的层数,DMRS端口号,序列配置,复用方式等信息。在LTE中,这些信息通过DCI进行指示。但是,NR已支持多种pattern,port数、复用方式和映射规则存在多种变化,沿用LTE的DCI指示方式将造成很大的开销,因此在NR中如何指示DMRS是亟待解决的技术问题。
发明内容
为解决上述技术问题,本申请提供一种解调参考信号指示和接收方法及装置。
在NR系统的MU-MIMO场景下,其能支持的CDM复用的正交端口与LTE中不同,最大能够支持到12个正交端口,因此LTE中仅根据一张DMRS配置信息表来告知终端其分配的层数,DMRS正交端口号,序列配置,复用方式等信息的方式不再适用,本申请实施例中,设计多组DMRS配置信息分别匹配未来网络(new radio,NR)的不同场景DMRS传输需求。
一方面,本申请提供的解调参考信号指示和接收的方法,包括:
发射端从多组解调参考信号DMRS配置信息中确定与当前DMRS传输方案对应的DMRS配置信息,并根据DMRS配置信息得到DMRS指示信息;所述每组DMRS配置信息包含多条DMRS配置信息;然后发送DMRS信息至接收端;接收端接收到DMRS指示信息后,辅助数据解调。
本申请实施例中,当前的DMRS传输方案是通过指示信息来指示的;不同的DMRS传输方案对应的最大可支持正交端口数不同,或对应的DMRS图样或对应的DMRS配置 类型不同。
所述不同的DMRS传输方案对应的DMRS配置信息的最大可支持正交端口数不同。
所述不同的DMRS传输方案对应的DMRS指示信息的长度不同。
所述至少一条DMRS配置信息中的多个DMRS端口分属不同的码分多址CDM组,其中不同的CDM组之间满足非准共址QCL关系。
一种实现方式中,针对不同的最大可支持正交端口数,可以配置不同组的DMRS配置信息,该组DMRS配置信息包含多条DMRS配置信息;例如,对于最大可支持正交端口数为4,正交端口数为6,正交端口数为8,正交端口数为12的MIMO场景,分别配置对应的DMRS配置信息,该DMRS配置信息是让接收端知道其能使用的DMRS正交端口号,序列配置,复用方式等等,以进行正确的数据译码。
另一种实现方式中,该DMRS配置信息针对不同的DMRS图样来配置的,一般来讲,一种DMRS图样就对应着一种支持最大可支持正交端口数或者最大可支持正交传输层数的MIMO场景,该DMRS图样示意出其支持多少个正交的正交端口组,每一个正交端口组由多少个资源单元组成,因此针对不同的DMRS图样配置不同的DMRS配置信息,也可以让接收端知道知道其能使用的DMRS正交端口号,序列配置,复用方式等等,以进行正确的数据译码。
在第一方面的一种实现方式中,DMRS配置信息可以是由协议约定表格来呈现的,其具体实现形式可以是下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)表(table),多张DCI table至少含有一组不同的DMRS配置信息;一组DMRS配置信息里面包含多条DMRS配置信息,用一张表格呈现,本文中称作DMRS配置信息表。
与DMRS信息对应的DMRS传输方案是通过高层信令例如例如无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令发送的,当然也可以和场景对应的其他配置参数绑定,如频点,载波间隔、帧结构等。DMRS指示信息即可通过DCI信令或媒体接入控制控制单元(media access control control element,MAC CE)发送。
在具体实现中,每一张DMRS配置信息表对应不同的最大可支持正交端口(port)数,例如最大可支持正交端口数可以是{4、6、8、12}中的至少两种;
在另一种实现方式中,每一张DMRS配置信息表可以对应不同的DMRS图样(pattern)或者DMRS配置类型(configuration type)。
在一种实现方式中,所述DMRS配置信息表中,依据按照正交端口组合进行分列设计,例如小于或等于4层传输层的正交端口组合,与大于4层传输层的正交端口组合分列设计;
在一种实现方式中,所述DMRS配置信息以DMRS配置信息表的形式呈现的时候,可以依据码字数量(codeword number)进行划分,也可以不依据码字数量进行划分,而是依据总的最大可支持正交端口数或依据接收端的传输层数进行分列,具体的可以按照某种比例进行划分。
所述DMRS配置信息表中还包括总正交端口数的指示信息,该指示信息可以指示实际可能出现的所有正交端口数,或者实际可能出现的所有正交端口数的量化值。所有正交端口数的量化值可以是DMRS正交层数信息,或者是DMRS天线正交端口集合指示信息,或者DMRS天线正交端口的CDM组信息,或者是依据CDM大小生成的 信息。应理解的是,总正交端口数与总正交DMRS传输层数相同。所述DMRS天线正交端口的CDM组信息可以为CDM组个数或CDM组号或CDM组状态信息。
需要说明的是,所述的多组DMRS配置信息可以用一张总的信息表来呈现,也即多个DMRS配置信息表可以是一张信息总表,该一张信息总表支持最大可支持正交端口数,多个DMRS配置信息表是该信息总表的子集,从该信息总表中选取子集可以依据最大可支持正交端口数或者DMRS图样或者是高层信令进行选择。
其中,DMRS配置信息中的所述DMRS天线正交端口的CDM组信息为CDM组状态信息或CDM组序号或CDM组编号或CDM组个数;一种实现方式中,所述CDM组个数为系统中被占用/调度(co-scheldued)的CDM组。
其中其中,DMRS配置信息中的所述DMRS配置信息中还包括DMRS的符号信息。
其中,通过RRC信令配置所述DMRS配置信息可使用的范围,该可使用的范围是基于DMRS的符号信息或者DMRS最大符号个数来确定的。
其中,所述DMRS配置信息可使用的范围与无线资源控制信令RRC中指示DMRS最大符号个数的参数绑定。
其中所述DMRS最大符号个数不同时,进行DMRS端口调度的下行控制信信息DCI信令长度不同,或DCI比特个数不同,或DCI域不同。
其中,利用所述DMRS配置信息进行单用户SU调度时,在2个CDM组内先进行FDM调度在NR系统的MIMO场景下,其能支持的CDM复用的正交端口与LTE中不同,最大能够支持到12个正交端口。终端通常需要知道被共同调度的其他终端的端口信息,从而获得哪些RE位置被其他终端的所使用端口的DMRS占用,不会传输自己的数据。如果终端不能获得这些信息,终端会将其他用户的DMRS当作自己的数据进行解调,从而导致译码错误。如何使终端知道哪些端口的DMRS被占用,需要一种有效的DMRS速率匹配指示方式,为了解决这一技术问题,本申请提供一种解调参考信号指示方法和接收方法,包括:
发射端生成解调参考信号DMRS指示信息;所述DMRS指示信息用于指示可用于承载DMRS的资源中未被DMRS占用的资源;发射端向接收端发送所述DMRS指示信息;接收端根据所述DMRS指示信息,在未被DMRS占用的资源上进行数据解调。具体的,接收端需要通过下行控制信息或媒体接入控制控制单元接收所述DMRS指示信息
接收端根据接收到的DMRS指示信息,获得量化的当前正交传输层数,或当前已被使用端口组状态组合,或当前非本接收端使用的正交传输层数或端口组状态,或需被静默的资源单元,以获得可用于承载DMRS的资源中未被DMRS占用的资源。
一种实现方式中,接收端在接收DMRS指示信息之前,还接收指示所述当前DMRS传输方案的DMRS传输方案指示信息;不同的DMRS传输方案对应的最大可支持正交端口数不同,或对应的DMRS图样或对应的DMRS配置类型不同。
应理解的是,DMRS传输方案是通过DMRS图样或DMRS配置类型或最大可支持正交端口数来体现的。
需要说明的是,这里的最大可支持的正交端口数为发射端在当前帧内能够调度的最大正交端口数,比如可以使用12port的DMRS pattern,但是当前的最大端口调度数仅 为4,最大可支持的正交端口数与基站调度有关,小于等于DMRS pattern所支持的最大正交端口数。
例如,对于最大可支持的正交端口数为4、6、8、12的MU-MIMO场景,或者对于非正交端口数为8,12,16,24的场景(2个扰码的场景),也即根据不同的最大可支持正交端口数,分别配置对应的DMRS指示信息,该指示信息是让接收端知道,时频资源内,哪些资源单元被其他用户的DMRS占用,没有自己的数据,接收端在数据解调的时候就可以避开这些资源单元,以进行正确的数据译码。
另一种实现方式中,该DMRS指示信息针对不同的DMRS图样来配置的,也可以对应于DMRS图样中DMRS端口组的个数进行配置(比如可以有两张表格分别对应DMRS图样中含有2个或者3个DMRS端口组。)。
一般来讲,一种DMRS图样就对应着一种支持最大可支持正交端口数的MU-MIMO场景,该DMRS图样示意出其支持多少个正交的CDM端口组,每一个端口组由多少个资源单元组成,因此针对不同的DMRS图样配置不同的指示信息。
再一种实现方式中,指示信息还可以针对DMRS配置类型(congfigration type)来进行配置。
以上方式,都可以让接收端知道,在时频资源内,哪些资源单元被其他用户的DMRS占用,接收端便可以正确的进行数据解调。
一种实现方式中,接收端需要接收以信令的方式发送的所述DMRS指示信息与可用于承载DMRS的资源中未被DMRS占用的资源之间的对应关系。这里所说的信令通常是高层信令,例如RRC信令。
另一种实现方式中,本接收端还存储有DMRS配置信息,也即,DMRS指示信息与可用于承载DMRS的资源中未被DMRS占用的资源之间的对应关系在本地存储的DMRS配置信息中可以查找到。
本申请实施例中的DMRS配置信息还包括总正交端口数的指示信息,该总正交端口数的指示信息可以指示实际可能出现的所有正交端口数,或者实际可能出现的所有正交端口数的量化值。所述所有正交端口数的量化值是DMRS正交层数信息,或者是DMRS天线正交端口集合指示信息,或者DMRS天线正交端口的CDM组信息,或者是依据CDM大小生成的信息。所述DMRS天线正交端口的CDM组信息为CDM组个数或CDM组号或CDM组状态信息。
其中,所述DMRS正交层数信息中,所述的DMRS正交层数是一个CDM组中的DMRS天线端口数量的整数倍;或者是一个CDM组中序号连续的DMRS天线端口数量的整数倍;或者是一个CDM组中的DMRS天线端口的序号的值。在具体的实现中,DMRS层数信息可以是分档量化的DMRS层数信息。所述分档量化的DMRS层数信息中,DMRS层数可以是一个CDM组中的DMRS天线端口数量的整数倍。比如,对于一个含有两个DMRS天线端口组的DMRS图样,假设端口组1包含DMRS端口{1,2,3,4},端口组2包含DMRS端口{5,6,7,8},则可以量化为4层与8层。此外,所述DMRS层数信息中,DMRS层数还可以是一个CDM组中的从小到大排序时序号连续的DMRS天线端口数量的整数倍,比如,对于CDM组{1,2,5,7}和{3,4,6,8},可以量化为2层与4层。这些信息,都可以让接收端识别出哪些资源单元是被本接收端的DMRS占用,哪些资源单元是被 CDM复用的其他接收端的DMRS占用,剩下的资源单元便是用于与本接收端相关的数据传输,因此,本接收端在相应的资源单元上进行数据解调。
之所以用正交传输层数的量化值,是因为如果要指示接收端具体的传输层数,例如如需分别指示传输层数{1,2,3,4},需要2个bits来进行指示,而将传输层数{1,2,3,4}进行量化,例如向上量化成传输层数4,或者向下量化成传输层数1,或者用2或3来表示该组传输层数{1,2,3,4},则指示传输层数的量化值只需要一个bit就可以指示了,例如用0表示传输层数的量化值4,因此可以减少指示开销。
基于上述原理,本申请实施例DMRS指示信息可以指示正交传输层数的量化值,一种方式是隐性指示,另一种方式是显性的方式进行指示。
隐性指示方案中,上述正交传输层数的量化值配置在DMRS配置信息表中,而指示信息采用DMRS配置信息表中的DMRS指示信息(value)来进行指示;该DMRS配置信息表可以与LTE中的类似,例如,LTE中的天线端口数(Antenna ports),扰码指示(scrambling identity)和传输层数指示(number of layers indication),它还可以包含DMRS端口数、端口索引、序列生成信息、CDM类型中的至少一种,在此基础上,添加传输层数的量化值。该DMRS配置信息表可以同时保存在发射端和接收端上,发射端向接收端发送指示信息,应理解的是,发射端向接收端是通过发送LTE中原有的DCI信令(由于沿用LTE的信令,该DCI信令可能不会命名为指示信息,但是其可以指示速率匹配方案),接收端通过该信令同时获得自己的端口信息与系统的量化总传输层数,结合该两个信息,计算出其他接收端使用的端口。也即,接收端识别出哪些资源单元是被用于本接收端的DMRS传输,哪些资源单元是用于CDM复用的其他接收端的DMRS传输,剩下的资源单元便是用于与本接收端相关的数据传输,因此,本接收端在相应的资源单元上进行数据解调。
在显性信令指示方案中,上述的指示信息和正交传输层数的量化值的对应关系通过独立于LTE中的DMRS配置信息表而存在,也即指示信息和传输层数的量化值之间的对应关系没有隐含在DMRS配置信息表中,因此发射端和接收端除了分别保存有DMRS配置信息表之外,还分别保存指示信息和传输层数的量化值的对应关系配置表(或者该信息表可以通过RRC进行配置),该对应关系配置表独立于DMRS配置信息表而存在,发射端通过显性信令的方式,将速率配置指示信息发送给接收端,接收端将该指示信息作为索引,在对应关系配置表中查找对应的传输层数的量化值,接收端将该传输层数的量化值与所述DMRS配置信息表相结合,识别出哪些资源单元是被用于被本接收端的DMRS占用,哪些资源单元是被CDM复用的其他接收端的DMRS占用,剩下的资源单元便是用于与本接收端相关的数据传输,因此,本接收端在相应的资源单元上进行数据解调。
需要说明的是,相同值的指示信息可以对应不同的传输层数的量化值,因此指示信息与传输层数的量化值之间的对应关系还可以通过单独的信令进行指示。
应理解的是,对于显性指示方案,量化的传输层数就是通过指示信息指示的,接收端会收到两个信令,一个是LTE中的DMRS DCI信令,一个是用来传输当前量化传输层数的指示信息(本文中又可以称为rate matching信令)。
可以理解的是,无论是隐性指示还是显性指示的方案中,上述的DMRS指示信息 发送到接收端的时候,可以是以独立信令的方式发送,也可以是携带在下行信令中发送,例如下行控制信息DCI中发送,在此不作限定。
在一种实现方式中,所述DMRS指示信息由码字(codeword)的个数确定是否发送。例如,如1个codeword则触发信令以发送DMRS指示信息,2个codeword则不发送该信令,原因在于,1个codeword时候有SU和MU的场景,但是2个codeword一定是SU场景,在2个codeword对应的SU-MIMO(single user multiple-input multiple-output,SU-MIMO)场景下,发射端,例如基站仅与一个接收端(终端)进行通信,时频资源内仅传输该终端的信息(RS、控制信令、数据等)。此时,终端可以根据自己的信息(如自己的端口、层数等信息)直接得知自己的DMRS的RE位置,在数据译码时避开这些RE。因此在SU时候并不存在DMRS的rate matching问题。
本申请实施例的第二方面,还提供了一种DMRS速率匹配指示和接收方法,其包括:
使用2PDCCH场景下的non-QCL组的2个TRP,每个TRP静默非自己使用的QCL组的DMRS对应的资源单元后进行数据传输,其中一个TRP可以有一个或者多个QCL组的DMRS;这种行为可以为默认操作;
在1PDCCH场景中,则需要发射端向接收端发送DMRS指示信息,该DMRS指示信息指示本发射端使用的一个或多个QCL组内的DMRS对应的资源单元。
2PDCCH场景或1PDCCH场景下,发射端通知接收端也有两种方式:
第一种,发射端给接收端发送DMRS指示信息,在2PDCCH场景下,DMRS指示信息指示该TRP的可使用的DMRS端口内的当前量化的传输层数,或者在1PDCCH场景下,当前系统中协作的TRP可以使用的总层数。
第二种,在2PDCCH场景下,对于不同的DMRS图样,接收端可以使用DMRS图样对应的包含有DMRS指示信息的DMRS配置信息表,进行速率匹配,需要注意的是,这里的DMRS图样是指该TRP可使用的QCL组内的DMRS端口所构成的DMRS图样。或者1PDCCH场景下,协作的TRP可以使用的多个QCL组DMRS端口所构成的DMRS图样。
需要说明的是,所述的多个DMRS配置信息表还可以是一张信息总表,该一张信息总表支持最大端口数,多个DMRS配置信息表是该信息总表的子集,从该信息总表中选取子集可以依据最大可支持端口数或者DMRS图样或者是高层信令进行选择。
在DMRS指示信息指示的是所述DMRS天线端口集合信息这种实现方式中,所述DMRS天线端口集合信息是指根据当前系统所调度的实际DMRS层数,指示被占用的DMRS天线端口组状态,比如端口组1为{1,2,3,4},端口组2为{5,6,7,8},假设基站按照DMRS端口号从小到大顺序调度,当调度层数为4层时,指示端口组1被占用,当大于4层时,指示端口组1和2被占用。这里仅给出例子,具体的端口号分组和基站调度不作限定。
在DMRS指示信息指示的是所述的DMRS天线端口的码分复用CDM组信息这种实现方式中,码分复用CDM组信息包括非所述接收端自身使用的DMRS天线端口的CDM端口组信息,或接收端自身使用的DMRS天线端口组信息和非所述接收端自身使用的DMRS天线端口组信息之和。
其中,非自身使用的DMRS CDM端口组信息,可以包括以下状态的至少一种:
1、所有DMRS RE位置可以传输数据(SU);
2、所有DMRS RE位置被占用(MU),此种情况包括接收端使用1(或2个)DMRS端口CDM组,且另外2个(或1个)被占用,或者接收端使用2个DMRS端口CDM组,且另外1个被占用。
Mute非接收端自身的2个端口组中较大的一个(MU,UE使用1个端口组);
4、Mute非接收端自身的2个端口组中较小的一个(MU,UE使用1个端口组);
应理解的是,“较大、较小”:可以定义为2个CDM端口组内最大或最小的端口号之间的比较(即利用非UE自身DMRS端口组的相对关系)
具体实施中,对于状态3和4,也可以不存在“较大、较小”的比较过程,比如可以为端口组内包含的端口号,或者为端口组的编号。
非自身使用的DMRS CDM端口组信息可以与DMRS类型绑定(DMRS configuration/Type 1/A or 2/B),或者与pattern包含的CDM组个数绑定(2个或者3个)。
这种指示非接收端自身使用的DMRS端口组状态的方式可以进一步减少指令开销,并且这种方式还可以支持多种场景,通用性较好。例如,可以直接支持1PDCCH NC-JT,dynamic TDD;2PDCCH NC-JT,对于现有的指令的改动较少。

在一种可能的设计中,所述多个数据流的数量小于等于4。
总体来说,本发明实施例提供了一种数据发送方法,所述方法用于通过多个解调 参考信号DMRS端口向一个接收端设备发送多个数据流,其中所述多个DMRS端口分属至少两个端口组,每个端口组中的各个DMRS端口之间满足准共址QCL关系,每个端口组中的任一DMRS端口与任一其他端口组中的任一DMRS端口满足非准共址Non-QCL关系,对于每个端口组,所述方法包括:
将一个码字映射为所述多个DMRS端口中处于该端口组中的DMRS端口所对应的数据流;
将所述数据流发送给所述接收端设备。
在一种可能的设计中,所述方法还包括,向所述接收端设备发送一指示信息,所述指示信息用于指示为所述接收端设备分配的所述多个DMRS端口。
在一种可能的设计中,所述多个数据流的数量小于等于4。
在一种可能的设计中,上述多个DMRS端口可以分配给同一发射端设备;也可以分配给同一发射端设备的多块天线面板,其中每块天线面板分配到的DMRS端口属于同一端口组;也可以分配给为为同一接收端设备服务(例如基于CoMP(Coordinated Multi-Point,多点协作)相关技术)的多个发射端设备,每个发射端设备分配到的DMRS端口属于同一端口组。此外,上述DMRS端口也可以采用其他方式分配给一个或者多个发射端设备,例如但不限于上述几种方式的各种可行的组合方式。
相应的,本发明实施例还提供了一种数据接收方法,包括:
通过多个DMRS端口接收多个数据流,其中,所述多个DMRS端口属于同一端口组,或者分属至少两个端口组,每个端口组中的各个DMRS端口之间满足准共址QCL关系,每个端口组中的任一DMRS端口与任一其他端口组中的任一DMRS端口满足非准共址Non-QCL关系;
对于所述同一端口组或者至少两个端口组中的每个端口组,接收端设备根据所述多个DMRS端口中处于该端口组中的DMRS端口所对应的数据流,恢复出一个码字。
在一种可能的设计中,在接收所述多个数据流之前,所述方法还包括:
接收一指示信息,所述指示信息用于指示所述多个DMRS端口。
所述多个数据流的数量小于等于4。
不难理解,在接收端设备一侧,接收端设备可以无需关注上述多个DMRS端口来自一个发射端设备,还是来自一个发射端设备的多块天线面板,还是来自多个发射端设备。
QCL(Quasi-Co-Location,准共址)通常用于描述相似的大尺度衰落,以及相似的空间方向(例如但不限于波束方向)等,因此非准共址(Non-Quasi-Co-Location,Non-QCL)通常用于描述不同的大尺度衰落,以及不同的空间方向等。有关QCL和Non-QCL的相关内容已经在现有技术中进行了清楚的描述,因此此处不再赘述。
在实际传输中,信息比特(bit)通常是以传输块(Transport Block,TB)的形式进行划分的,而一个传输块可以是一个码字(codeword,CW),有关TB和CW的内容可以参考现有技术
通常,可以将系统支持的DMRS端口划分为多个端口组,每个端口组中的各个DMRS端口之间满足QCL关系,每个端口组中的任一DMRS端口与任一其他端口组中的任一DMRS端口满足Non-QCL关系。当多个发射端设备为同一接收端设备服务 时,为每个发射端设备分配的DMRS端口来自同一端口组。例如,可以将DMRS端口0~9划分为2个端口组,分别为端口组1和端口组2,其中DMRS端口0~4属于端口组1,DMRS端口5~9属于端口组2。在为发射端设备分配DMRS端口时,可以将端口组1中的任意数量的DMRS端口分配给发射端设备,也可以将端口组2中的任意数量的DMRS端口分配给发射端设备。此外,无论是多个发射端设备为同一接收端设备服务,还是单个发射端设备为该接收端设备服务,为同一个发射端设备分配的DMRS端口,可以来自相同的端口组,也可以来自不同的端口组。例如,当来自相同的端口组时,可以将上述端口组1中的端口1和端口2分配给该发射端设备;当来自不同的端口组时,可以将上述端口组1中的端口2~3和上述端口组2中的端口8~9分配给该发射端设备。不难理解,当为同一发射端设备分配的DMRS端口来自不同的端口组时,该发射端设备通过不同端口组中的DMRS端口进行的无线传输将具有Non-QCL特性,例如具有不同的大尺度衰落,或者指向不同的空间方向。当为同一发射端设备分配的DMRS端口来自相同的端口组时,该发射端设备通过该相同的端口组中的DMRS端口进行的无线传输将具有QCL特性,例如具有相似的大尺度衰落,或者指向相似的空间方向。
上述将DMRS端口划分为多个端口组的相关内容可以参考现有技术,例如,可以在发射端设备和接收端设备出厂之前,预先在这些设备内设置,也可以由发射端设备将DMRS端口的分组情况提前通知给接收端设备,例如但不限于发射端设备通过RRC(Radio Resource Control,无线资源控制)消息,在例如但不限于接收端设备接入通信网络,或者定期的,通知给接收端设备。在将DMRS端口划分为多个端口组的情况下,可以依照分组情况和具体需要(例如各种应用场景,如CoMP)为发射端设备分配DMRS端口。
多个发射端设备可以为多个发射端设备,也可以为一个同一发射端设备的多块天线面板。上述发射端设备可以是例如但不限于基站。上述接收端设备可以是例如但不限于终端。
码字到数据流的映射过程,以及从数据流恢复出码字的过程,可以参考现有技术。
当多个发射端设备同时为一个接收端设备服务时,上述指示信息可以由多个发射端设备中的一个发射端设备来发送,在这种情况下,发送上述指示信息的发射端设备可以称为服务设备,其他发射端设备可以称为协作设备。
上述数据流又可以称为数据层,其通常可通过对码字进行层映射来获得,具体过程可以参考现有技术。
上述方法中的步骤可以通过一个或者多个处理器来执行,有可以通过一个或者多个处理器执行程序来执行。
上述发射端设备和接收端设备中的各个模块的功能可以集成在一个或者多个处理器上来执行,也可以通过一个或者多个处理器执行程序来执行。

具体实施方式
首先,对本文中涉及的相关术语进行简单介绍,以方便读者理解:
1)、资源单元(resource unit)
类似于LTE标准中的RB和RB对(RB pair),在本申请的一些实施例中提供了一种资源单元,该资源单元可以作为调度终端进行资源分配的基本单位,也可以用于描述多种参考信号的排布方式。
资源单元可以由频域上连续的多个子载波和时域上的一个时间间隔(time interval,TI)组成。不同调度过程中,资源单元的大小可以相同,也可以不同。其中,这里的TI可以是LTE系统中的传输时间间隔(transmission time interval,TTI),也可以是符号级短TTI,或高频系统中的大子载波间隔的短TTI,也可以是5G系统中的slot或微型时隙(mini-slot)等。本申请对此不做限定。
可选的,一个资源单元可以包括一个或多个RB,一个或多个RB pair等,另外还可以是半个RB等。另外还可以是其他的时频资源,本申请对此不进行限定。其中,一个RB pair是由频域上的12个连续的子载波和时域上的一个子帧组成。频域上的一个子载波和时域上的一个符号组成的时频资源为一个资源元素(resource element,RE),如图2所示。其中,图2中的RB pair由频域上的12个连续的子载波(编号为0~11)和时域上的14个符号(编号为0~13)组成。图2中,横坐标表示时域,纵坐标表示频域。需要 说明的是,本申请中的包含表示时域资源的附图均是基于图2所示的RB pair为例进行说明的,本领域技术人员可以理解的,具体实现时,不限于此。可以理解的,本申请中的“符号”可以包括但不限于以下任一种:正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,OFDM)符号、通用滤波多载波(universal filtered multi-carrier,UFMC)信号,滤波器组多载波(filter-band multi-carrier,FBMC)符号,广义频分多工(generalized frequency-division multiplexing,GFDM)符号等。
2)、DMRS端口组
本申请中涉及的“DMRS端口组”是为了清楚地描述本申请提供的技术方案而引入的一个逻辑概念,具体的,是为了清楚地描述本申请中提供的导频图或其变型而引入的一个逻辑概念。可以理解的,在实际实现时,基站和终端可以不执行对DMRS端口分组这一动作,通过任意方式设计出如本申请中描述的导频图或者其变型,均应属于本申请保护范围之内。
一个DMRS端口组可以包括一个或多个DMRS端口。本申请中,DMRS端口组中的各端口对应的DMRS之间通过CDM方式复用相同的时频资源,如正交掩码(orthogonal cover code,OCC)、循环移位(cyclic shift,CS),或循环相位旋转(cyclic phase rotations)等方法,或者以上多种方法的组合,如OCC+CS。有关多个参考信号借助CDM方式复用时频资源的技术方案在现有技术中已经进行了清楚的描述,本文不再赘述。
3)系统支持的DMRS端口port
系统支持的DMRS端口,可以认为是基站可使用的DMRS端口。实际实现时,基站可能使用其支持的部分或全部DMRS端口调度终端。最大可支持的正交端口数,即是指的系统或基站可支持的DMRS正交端口数的最大值。
本申请中,以系统支持的DMRS端口的数目为4、6、8、12为例进行说明。
4)其他术语
本文中的术语“多个”是指两个或两个以上。
本文中的术语“第一”、“第二”等仅是为了区分不同的对象,并不对其顺序进行限定。例如,第一符号组和第二符号组仅仅是为了区分不同的符号组,并不对其先后顺序进行限定。
本文中术语“和/或”,仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,本文中字符“/”,一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
下面结合附图对本申请提供的技术方案进行介绍。
本申请提供的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如当前2G,3G,4G通信系统,以及未来演进网络,如5G通信系统。例如,LTE系统,第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)相关的蜂窝系统等,以及其他此类通信系统。尤其地,可以应用于5G NR系统中。
需要说明的是,5G标准中可以包括机器对机器(machine to machine,M2M)、设备对机器(devoice to machine,D2M)、宏微通信、增强型移动互联网(enhance mobile broadband,eMBB)、超高可靠性与超低时延通信(ultra reliable & low latency communication,uRLLC)以及海量物联网通信(massive machine type communication, mMTC)等场景,这些场景可以包括但不限于:终端与终端之间的通信场景,基站与基站之间的通信场景,基站与终端之间的通信场景等。本申请实施例提供的技术方案也可以应用于5G通信系统中的终端与终端之间的通信,或基站与基站之间的通信等场景中。
本申请实施例提供的技术方案可以应用于如图3所示的系统架构中,该系统架构中可以包括基站100以及与基站100连接的一个或多个终端200。
在一个示例中,基站100可以通过如图4所示的结构实现。
其中,基站100可以是能和终端200通信的设备。基站100可以是中继站或接入点等。基站100可以是全球移动通信系统(global system for mobile communication,GSM)或码分多址(code division multiple access,CDMA)网络中的基站收发信台(base transceiver station,BTS),也可以是宽带码分多址(wideband code division multiple access,WCDMA)中的NB(NodeB),还可以是LTE中的eNB或eNodeB(evolutional NodeB)。基站100还可以是云无线接入网络(cloud radio access network,CRAN)场景下的无线控制器。基站100还可以是未来5G网络中的网络设备或未来演进的PLMN网络中的网络设备;还可以是可穿戴设备或车载设备等。
终端200可以是用户设备(user equipment,UE)、接入终端、UE单元、UE站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、UE终端、终端、无线通信设备、UE代理或UE装置等。接入终端可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(session initiation protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备,未来5G网络中的终端或者未来演进的PLMN网络中的终端等。
基站100的通用硬件架构进行说明。如图4所示,基站可以包括室内基带处理单元(building baseband unit,BBU)和远端射频模块(remote radio unit,RRU),RRU和天馈系统(即天线)连接,BBU和RRU可以根据需要拆开使用。应注意,在具体实现过程中,基站100还可以采用其他通用硬件架构,而并非仅仅局限于图4所示的通用硬件架构。
以终端200为手机为例,对手机的通用硬件架构进行说明。如图5所示,手机可以包括:射频(radio Frequency,RF)电路110、存储器120、其他输入设备130、显示屏140、传感器150、音频电路160、I/O子系统170、处理器180、以及电源190等部件。本领域技术人员可以理解,图5所示的手机的结构并不构成对手机的限定,可以包括比图示更多或者更少的部件,或者组合某些部件,或者拆分某些部件,或者不同的部件布置。本领域技术人员可以理解显示屏140属于用户界面(user Interface,UI),显示屏140可以包括显示面板141和触摸面板142。且手机可以包括比图示更多或者更少的部件。尽管未示出,手机还可以包括摄像头、蓝牙模块等功能模块或器件,在此不再赘述。
进一步地,处理器180分别与RF电路110、存储器120、音频电路160、I/O子系统170、以及电源190均连接。I/O子系统170分别与其他输入设备130、显示屏140、传感器150均连接。其中,RF电路110可用于收发信息或通话过程中,信号的接收和发送,特别地,将基站的下行信息接收后,给处理器180处理。存储器120可用于存储软件程序以 及模块。处理器180通过运行存储在存储器120的软件程序以及模块,从而执行手机的各种功能应用以及数据处理。其他输入设备130可用于接收输入的数字或字符信息,以及产生与手机的用户设置以及功能控制有关的键信号输入。显示屏140可用于显示由用户输入的信息或提供给用户的信息以及手机的各种菜单,还可以接受用户输入。传感器150可以为光传感器、运动传感器或者其他传感器。音频电路160可提供用户与手机之间的音频接口。I/O子系统170用来控制输入输出的外部设备,外部设备可以包括其他设备输入控制器、传感器控制器、显示控制器。处理器180是手机200的控制中心,利用各种接口和线路连接整个手机的各个部分,通过运行或执行存储在存储器120内的软件程序和/或模块,以及调用存储在存储器120内的数据,执行手机200的各种功能和处理数据,从而对手机进行整体监控。电源190(比如电池)用于给上述各个部件供电,优选的,电源可以通过电源管理系统与处理器180逻辑相连,从而通过电源管理系统实现管理充电、放电、以及功耗等功能。
本申请提供的技术方案可以用于单载波传输场景中,也可以用于多载波传输场景中,也可以适用于多种波形混合传输场景;可以应用于上行传输场景中,也可以应用于下行传输场景中,或者上行和下行同时传输的场景。
下面对本申请提供的传输DMRS的方法进行说明,其中,传输DMRS的方法可以包括发射端发送DMRS的方法,以及接收端获取DMRS的方法。
如图6所示,为本申请提供的一种传输DMRS的方法。该方法可以包括:
S101:发射端从多组解调参考信号DMRS配置信息中确定与当前DMRS传输方案对应的DMRS配置信息,并根据DMRS配置信息得到DMRS指示信息;所述每组DMRS配置信息包含多条DMRS配置信息。
其中,该多个DMRS配置信息可以DMRS配置信息表的形式呈现,一种方式是以多张独立的表格的形式呈现,也可以是属于一张信息总表的子集。
S102:发射端通过时频资源发送DMRS指示信息。
S103:接收端接收所述DMRS指示信息。
S104:接收端根据接收的所述DMRS指示信息,进行信道估计或辅助解调数据。
其中,用于承载DMRS的时频资源在时域上可以包括一个或多个符号,在频域上可以包括一个或多个子载波。
若该技术方案应用于上行传输场景中,则发射端可以是终端,接收端可以是基站。若该技术方案应用于下行传输场景中,则发射端可以是基站,接收端可以是终端。
本申请实施例中,当前的DMRS传输方案是通过指示信息来指示的;不同的DMRS传输方案对应的最大可支持正交端口数不同,或对应的DMRS图样或对应的DMRS配置类型不同。
所述不同的DMRS传输方案对应的DMRS配置信息中的最大可支持正交端口数不同。
所述不同的DMRS传输方案对应的DMRS指示信息的长度不同。
所述至少一条DMRS配置信息中的多个DMRS端口分属不同的码分多址CDM组,其中不同的CDM组之间满足非准共址QCL关系。
针对不同的最大可支持正交端口数,可以配置不同的DMRS配置信息,例如,对 于最大可支持正交端口数为4,正交端口数为6,正交端口数为8,正交端口数为12的MIMO场景,分别配置对应的DMRS配置信息,该DMRS配置信息是让接收端知道其能使用的DMRS正交端口号,序列配置,复用方式等等,以进行正确的数据译码。
另一种实现方式中,该DMRS配置信息针对不同的DMRS图样来配置的,一般来讲,一种DMRS图样就对应着一种支持最大可支持正交端口数或者最大可支持正交传输层数的MIMO场景,该DMRS图样示意出其支持多少个正交的正交端口组,每一个正交端口组由多少个资源单元组成,因此针对不同的DMRS图样配置不同的DMRS配置信息,也可以让接收端知道知道其能使用的DMRS正交端口号,序列配置,复用方式等等,以进行正确的数据译码。
在第一方面的一种实现方式中,DMRS配置信息可以是由协议约定表格来呈现的,其具体实现形式可以是下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)表(table),多张DCI table至少含有一种不同的DMRS配置信息;与DMRS配置信息对应的DMRS传输方案是通过高层信令例如例如无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令发送的,当然也可以和场景对应的其他配置参数绑定,如频点,载波间隔、帧结构等。DMRS指示信息即可通过DCI信令或媒体接入控制控制单元(media access control control element,MAC CE)发送。
在具体实现中,每一张DMRS配置信息表对应不同的最大可支持正交端口(port)数,例如最大可支持正交端口数可以是{4、6、8、12}中的至少两种;
在另一种实现方式中,每一张DMRS配置信息表可以对应不同的DMRS图样(pattern)或者DMRS配置类型(configuration type)。
在一种实现方式中,所述信息表中,依据按照正交端口组合进行分列设计,例如小于或等于4层传输层的正交端口组合,与大于4层传输层的正交端口组合分列设计;
在一种实现方式中,所述DMRS配置信息以DMRS配置信息表的形式呈现的时候,可以依据码字数量(codeword number)进行划分,也可以不依据码字数量进行划分,而是依据总的最大可支持正交端口数或依据接收端的传输层数进行分列,具体的可以按照某种比例进行划分。
所述DMRS配置信息中还包括总正交端口数的指示信息,该指示信息可以指示实际可能出现的所有正交端口数,或者实际可能出现的所有正交端口数的量化值。所有正交端口数的量化值可以是DMRS正交层数信息,或者是DMRS天线正交端口集合指示信息,或者DMRS天线正交端口的CDM组信息,或者是依据CDM大小生成的信息。应理解的是,总正交端口数与总正交DMRS传输层数相同。
之所以用DMRS正交传输层数的量化值,是因为如果要指示接收端具体的正交传输层数,例如指示正交传输层数{1,2,3,4},需要4个bits来进行指示,而将正交传输层数{1,2,3,4}量化成一个值,例如向上量化成正交传输层数4,或者向下量化成正交传输层数1,或者用2或3来表示改组正交传输层数{1,2,3,4,}则指示正交传输层数的量化值只需要一个bit就可以指示了,例如用0表示正交传输层数的量化值4,因此可以减少指示开销。
需要说明的是,所述的多个DMRS配置信息表可以是一张信息总表,该一张信息总表支持最大可支持正交端口数,多个DMRS配置信息表是该信息总表的子集,从该 信息总表中选取子集可以依据最大可支持正交端口数或者DMRS图样或者是高层信令进行选择。
需要说明的是,所述的多个DMRS配置信息表可以是一张信息总表,该一张信息总表支持最大可支持正交端口数,多个DMRS配置信息表是该信息总表的子集,从该信息总表中选取子集可以依据最大可支持正交端口数或者DMRS图样或者是高层信令进行选择。
以下将说明本申请提供的发送DMRS和获取DMRS的具体实现过程。
实施例一
本实施例一中设计了多个DMRS配置信息的表,简称为DMRS配置信息表,每一张DMRS配置信息表与最大可支持正交端口数关联,或者针对不同的DMRS pattern,或者针对不同的DMRS配置类型,设计不同的DMRS配置信息表;最大可支持正交端口数,或者DMRS pattern,或者DMRS配置类型都能表示DMRS传输方案;在传输之前,根据不同的pattern配置信息选择或者在不同DMRS配置信息表中进行切换。
如图7所示,该DMRS配置信息表是以SU或MU-MIMO中,单个终端(UE)最大可支持正交端口数为4设计的DMRS配置信息表。
表1
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000001
其中DMRS指示信息或索引用Value表示;当Value=0时,其表示终端支持传输层(表格中用秩Rank来表示)的个数为1,其对应的正交端口索引(port index)为传输层1,端口号为0;又如,DMRS指示信息Value=7时,其表示终端支持传输层(Rank)为4,其对应的正交端口索引(port index)为0-3(port 0-3)。
如表1所示的表格所列port组合基本可以覆盖4port及以下所有配置,其中reserved可以用于额外组合(combination),来增加调度灵活性,尽管已列组合已能满足调度需求。
表1所示的DMRS配置信息表适用于正交DMRS实现最大4流/层数据传输或者图7对应的pattern(如左边部分所示的config.1 1符号或者右边部分所示的config.1 2符号 但采用时域repetition,e.g.,TD-OCC{(1,1),(1,1)})
本实施例中的DMRS配置信息表按照LTE表格设计(即,以codeword个数划分列),对应的value值需要3bit的指示开销。
应理解的是,该DMRS配置信息表中的port index只是一种表示方式,仅为举例说明,还可以根据实际需求以其他数字表示。
如表2所示,该DMRS配置信息表是以SU或MU-MIMO中,单个终端(UE)最大可支持正交端口数为6设计的DMRS配置信息表。
表2
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000002
其中DMRS配置信息的指示信息或索引用Value表示;例如,DMRS配置信息的指示信息Value=0时,其表示终端支持传输层(Rank)的个数为1,其对应的正交端口索引(port index)为0;DMRS配置信息的指示信息Value=10时,其表示的终端支持传输层(Rank)的个数为3,其对应的正交端口索引(port index)为3~5;需要说明的是,这里的正交端口索引仅为举例,具体的正交端口号可以以其他数字表示。
如表2所示的表格所列port组合基本可以覆盖6port及以下所有配置,其中reserved可以用于额外组合(combination),来增加调度灵活性,尽管已列组合已能满足调度需求。
如表2所示的DMRS配置信息表适用于正交DMRS实现最大6流/层数据传输或者图8对应的pattern(如左边部分所示的config.1 1符号或者右边部分所示的config.1 2符号但采用时域repetition,e.g.,TD-OCC{(1,1),(1,1)})。
本实施例中的DMRS配置信息表按照LTE表格设计(即,以codeword个数划分列),对应的value值需要4bit的指示开销。
如表3所示,该DMRS配置信息表是以SU或MU-MIMO中,单个终端(UE)最大可支持正交端口数为8设计的DMRS配置信息表。

实施上述表1~表4所示的实施例,针对每一最大可支持正交端口数设计对应的DMRS配置信息表,可以满足NR系统中不同场景的需求。例如用于极高可靠性极低时延通信(Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communication,URLLC)场景的pattern而不只是用于增强移动宽带(Enhanced Mobile Broadband,eMBB)的pattern,针对其他不同的pattern重新考虑表格的设计。
本实施例中设计了多个DMRS配置信息表还可以是DMRS pattern配置类型,简称DMRS配置类型(configuration type)来设计的不同的DMRS配置信息表,在传输之前,根据不同的configuration type信息选择或者在不同信息表中进行切换。
configuration type分为两种,与其对应的DMRS配置信息表分别如表3所示的最大8port(configuration type1)和如表4所示的最大12port(configuration type2)两张table相同,在此不再赘述。表1~表4所示的DMRS配置信息表与不同的DMRS pattern对应,或者与系统支持的最大可支持的正交端口数对应,或者与不同的DMRS配置类型,其对应的pattern或者最大可支持的正交端口数4、6、8、12或DMRS配置类型等可以通过显性信令如RRC、MAC CE或DCI指示,也可以和场景对应的其他配置参数绑定,如频点,载波间隔、帧结构等。
实施例二
本实施例中,将描述DMRS配置信息表的分列设计方式,不同于LTE的分列方式,本实施例中,不依据codeword number进行划分,而是基于最大可支持正交端口数按照一定比例进行划分或者将大于正交端口数大于一定数值以及小于等于一定数值的分为左右两列,或者依据接收端的传输层数(即UE RANK)进行分列。
如表5所示,以是最大可支持正交端口数等于12为例进行说明的,该信息表的左边一列是正交端口数小于等于8,而右边一列是正交端口数大于8。

实施例三
本实施例中,将多个DMRS配置信息表集成在一张总信息表中,依据最大可支持正交传输层数或者pattern或是高层信令来进行选择,具体如表8-0所示。
表8-0
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000010
表8-0所示的DMRS配置信息表支持的最大正交port数为12,其他的port数,例如4、6、8对应的DMRS配置信息均为该总信息表的子集,在进行DMRS配置信息选择的时候,可以依据最大可支持正交port数或者与pattern绑定,或者根据高层信令 的指示,例如RRC信令,从该总信息表中选择对应的子表。例如,value0-7对应总正交port数为4,value0-13对应总正交port数为6,value0-19对应总正交port数为8,value0-28对应总正交port数为12。
实施本申请提供的上述发送DMRS的方法,通过设计多个DMRS配置信息表,可以为NR DMRS port指示降低开销。
另外,作多个DMRS配置信息表集成在一张总信息表中的具体实现方式,还可以将相同的DMRS配置类型的DMRS配置信息设计到一张总表中,通过DMRS符号信息进行选择。
具体的,在DMRS配置信息表格中可以包含前导(Front-loaded,FL)DMRS的符号信息,如DMRS符号个数,其中表8-1对应FL DMRS configuration type 1,表8-2对应FL DMRS configuration type 2,即每张表格对应不同的FL DMRS type。此外,表格还可以包含CDM组的状态信息(State of CDM group),该CDM组的状态信息可以用作速率匹配信息。
表8-1和表8-2中的符号个数(symbol number)一列,分别对应1符号和2符号的Type 1 FL DMRS。本申请实施例中,相同FL DMRS configuration type的1符号和2符号FLDMRS的DMRS端口指示信息包含于同一张表格中,其有益效果是可以通过DCI指示表格中不同的状态,从而实现动态的1符号与2符号的FL DMRS之间的切换。
此外,下面给出的仅为一种示例,符号个数的状态为1和2,分别对应1符号FL DMRS和2符号FL DMRS。在一种实现中,符号个数可以表示为0和1,如0对应1符号FL DMRS,1对应2符号FL DMRS,或者1符号表示为single symbol而2符号表示为double symbols。具体实现中可以有多种表示方法,本申请实施例不做限定。
在另一种实现方式中,DMRS配置信息表格中可以不添加symbol number一列,而是直接通过value值进行隐含指示。比如,表8-1和8-2中可以将symbol number一列去除,而其他元素不改变。此时,发射端通过向接收端指示value值,仍然可以完成1符号FL DMRS和2符号FL DMRS的动态切换。
例如,表8-1中value=18包含了大于3的DMRS端口号,而1符号的FL DMRS type1的端口号为0-3,这样接收端可以知道调用了2符号DMRS图样。一种实现方法中,接收端和发送端可以预先定义某些value是对应1符号FL DMRS图样,而某些value是对应2符号FL DMRS图样,例如表8-1中,可以预先定义value 0-10对应1符号FL DMRS,value>11对应2符号FL DMRS,此时,对于相同的调度内容,value=0对应1符号FL DMRS,而value=11对应2符号FL DMRS。通过指示value 0和value 11,接收端获知当前调用的是1符号FL DMRS图样或者2符号FL DMRS图样。

在一种实现方法中,发射端,例如网络侧设备可以在某次调度中仅调度表格的一部分,即子表格或表格的subset,从而节省DCI开销。
在一种实现方式中,子表格的选定可以通过RRC信令进行显性配置,即通过RRC信令指示所述DMRS符号信息,动态调度所述1符号对应的DMRS配置类型或2符号对应的DMRS配置类型。
例如,对于表8-2,RRC信令可以指示激活1符号FL DMRS对应的表格,如8-2中value 0-22项(即symbol number=1),或者指示整张表格均可以使用,如表格8-2中所有的行(即symbol number=1和symbol number=2)。具体实现中,RRC的信令配置可以通过多种方式实现,比如可以使用独立的RRC信令进行配置或与其他指示FL DMRS信息的RRC信令绑定进行隐性指示。
对于显性指示,可以通过一个独立的RRC信令进行配置。比如RRC中配置set1、set2对应预定义的某些状态集合(如set1对应symbol number=1的状态,set2对应表格中的全部状态),或者直接指示前某些状态(value)被激活(比如8-1中通过‘1010/二进制’表示前11项的value 0-10被使用,或者直接指示某个value值,其前面的所有value状态被激活),或者配置on/off状态进行使能(如off代表仅symbol number=1的被使用,on代表整张表格被使用),或者使用bitmap对表格中的每个value进行指示独立指示, 具体RRC配置的方法这里不做限定。
另一种实现方式中,子表格的使能可以与其他RRC信令绑定,比如可以与RRC中指示FL DMRS最大符号个数的参数绑定,如与DL-DMRS-max-len或UL-DMRS-max-len绑定。下面以DL进行示例,当DL-DMRS-max-len=1的时候,代表FL DMRS最大的符号个数为1,即系统仅调用1符号的FL DMRS,此时,接收端和发送端仅使用表8-2中1符号FL DMRS对应的状态,如value=0-22。当DL-DMRS-max-len=2的时候,代表FL DMRS最大的符号个数为2,即系统可以调用1符号的FL DMRS图样和2符号的FL DMRS,此时,接收端和发送端可以使用表8-2中1符号和2符号FL DMRS对应的状态,即整张表格中的状态均可以使用。
此外,当FL DMRS最大符号个数不同时(如RRC信令中的DL-DMRS-max-len或UL-DMRS-max-len等于1或2时),对应的DMRS端口调度DCI信令长度不同,或比特个数不同,DCI域不同。实施例四
本实施例中将描述本申请提供的方法应用到各种NR场景的具体实现方式。具体的,为在非相关联合传输(Non-coherent joint transmission,NC-JT)2PDCCH或1PDCCH场景下,为两个传输点(TRPs)设置多张与pattern绑定的DMRS配置信息表。
本实施例从不同的DMRS端口组(port group)中选择port组成port combinations,单PDCCH场景中基站需要将这些端口组合通过一个DCI指示给调度UE,而两PDCCH场景中可以将这些端口组合通过两个DCI指示给UE。DMRS port group的划分和pattern configuration以及端口映射方案有关系。如configuration type 1可能存在两种port mapping方案,如图11或图12所示,而configuration type 2可能存在三种port mapping方案,分贝如图13,图14,图15所示。
上述各种port mapping方式分别依据先进行端口码分复用后频分复用,或者先进行端口频分复用后码分复用得到。各种不同的port mapping会得到不同的DMRS port分组,分组依据为进行同组码分复用的port只能位于同一个group内。
如图11的DMRS分组为{(0,2,4,6),(1,3,5,7)}或各group子集的分组,如{(0,2),(1,3)}。
图12的DMRS分组为{(0,1,4,6),(2,3,5,7)}或各group子集的分组。
图13所示的DMRS分组为{(0,1,6,7),(2,3,4,5,8,9,10,11)}或{(0,1,6,7,4,5,10,11),(2,3,8,9)}或{(0,1,6,7,2,3,8,9),(4,5,10,11)}或各group子集的分组。
图14的DMRS分组为{(0,3,6,9),(1,4,7,10,2,5,8,11)}或{(0,3,6,9,1,4,7,10),(2,5,8,11)}或{(1,4,7,10),(0,3,6,9,2,5,8,11)}或各group子集的分组。
图15的DMRS分组为{(0,1,6,9),(2,3,7,10,4,5,8,11)}或{(0,1,6,9,4,5,8,11),(2,3,7,10)}或{(4,5,8,11),(0,1,6,9,2,3,7,10)}或各group子集的分组。
本实施例需要从不同的group中选择port组成port combinations,因而各个不同的port分组则会形成不同的port组合。下面以各种配置下的其中一种port mapping方案为例来设计DMRS配置信息表。
例如,如图16为NC-JT pattern和port mapping示意图,对应的准共址(quasi co-location,QCL)分组情况为TRP1使用端口{0,1,6,9}组成的端口组,TRP2使用端口{2,3,4,5,7,8,10,11}。

根据前述实施例一至实施例四中任一个实施例,在针对不同的NR场景或传输需求时,发射端在其中选择合适的DMRS配置信息,并根据选择的DMRS配置信息得到DMRS指示信息后发送至接收端。
接收端在接收到表示DMRS指示信息的value值时,根据该value值所表示的正交传输层数或者正交端口号,或者未被DMRS占用的资源,在相应的时频资源位置上解调参考信号。
为了便于基站调度,在MU-MIMO场景下,对于一个特定的接收端,DMRS端口会首先从一个CDM组内调度,然后再跨CDM组调度,这种调度规则可以被称为CDM优先的调度规则。考虑DMRS port指示表格中同时包含SU和MU的状态,特别的,对于SU-MIMO的调度,不同的调度规则有不同的有益处。下面将给出例子进行具体说明。考虑如下端口映射顺序:
对于1符号DMRS type 1,CDM组1包含端口为{0,1},CDM组2包含端口为{2,3};
对于2符号DMRS type 1,CDM组1包含端口为{0,1,4,5},CDM组2包含端口为{2,3,6,7};
对于1符号DMRS type 2,CDM组1包含端口为{0,1},CDM组2包含端口为{2,3},CDM组3包含端口为{4,5}。
对于2符号DMRS type 2,CDM组1包含端口为{0,1,6,7},CDM组2包含端口为{2,3,8,9},CDM组3包含端口为{4,5,10,11}。
对于SU,发送端可以按照如下规则对接收端的DMRS端口进行分配。下面将具体说明,其中值得注意的是,这里仅给出具体的调度规则,当DMRS映射规则改变时,例子中的DMRS端口号分配可能改变,但是调度规则不会改变。
CDM优先调度:对于接收端,DMRS端口优先从一个CDM组中调度,当CDM组中端口号被全部占用后,再从另一个端口组中调度。该方案具有SU调度和MU调度规律相同的优点。下面针对DMRS type给出具体例子,如下例子可以表示为DMRS端口调度表格(如8-1、8-2)中的某一行(value)。
对于1符号DMRS type 1,当接收端被调用2层时,调度端口可以为0,1(或2,3),即调度端口为同一个CDM组内;当接收端被调用3层时,调度端口可以为0,1,2,即CDM组1被全部调度,然后在调度CDM组2内的端口2。具体表16-1中可以体现为如下行状态信息。
表16-1 DMRS类型1示例
value number of co-scheduled CDM groups UE Rank ports symbol number
X 1 2 0,1 1
Y 2 3 0,1,2 1
对于2符号DMRS type 1而言,当接收端被调用4层时,调度端口可以为0,1,4,5,即调度端口为先从同一个CDM组内调度;当接收端被调用5层时,调度端口可以为0,1,4,5,2,即CDM组1被全部调度,然后在调度CDM组2内的端口。具体如表16-2中可以体现为如下行状态信息:
表16-2 DMRS类型1示例
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000026
对于1符号DMRS type 2而言,当接收端被调用3层时,调度端口可以为0,1,2,即CDM组1被全部占用,然后在调度CDM组2内的端口;当接收端被调用5层时,调度端口可以为0,1,2,3,4,即CDM组1、2被全部占用,然后调度CDM组3内的端口,如表16-3所示:
表16-3 DMRS类型2示例
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000027
对于2符号DMRS type 2而言,当接收端被调用3层时,调度端口可以为0,1,6,即CDM组1被占用,即优先从CDM组1中进行调度;当接收端被调用5层时,调度端口可以为0,1,6,7,2,即CDM组1被全部调度,然后在调度CDM组2内的端口,如表16-4所示:
表16-4 DMRS类型2示例
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000028
FDM优先调度:对于接收端,DMRS端口调度首先跨CDM组调度,当每个CDM组均有端口被调度后,然后再从第一个CDM组中进行调度,然后继续跨CDM组调度。其主要思想是使得每个CDM组内被调度的DMRS端口个数尽量平均。比如当3个端口被调用时,对于type 2,3个CDM组内各调用一个端口。该方案具有SU调度时每个CDM组被使用的 DMRS端口平均的特点,使得每个CDM组内功率更加平均。下面给出的端口号顺序仅为示例以便更好地理解,具体实现时,端口号的书写顺序并没有限定,如0,2,1,3,4可以写为0,1,2,3,4
对于1符号DMRS type 1,当接收端被调用2层时,调度端口可以为0,2,即优先跨CDM组调度端口;当接收端被调用3层时,调度端口可以为0,1,2,即CDM组1、2被各调度1个端口,然后再调用CDM组1内的端口。如表16-5所示:
表16-5 DMRS类型1示例
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000029
对于2符号DMRS type 1而言,当接收端被调用2层时,调度端口可以为0,2,即优先跨CDM组调度;当接收端被调用5层时,调度端口可以为0,2,1,3,4,即被调度的DMRS端口在CDM组内尽量平均分配。如表16-6所示:
表16-6 DMRS类型1示例
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000030
对于1符号DMRS type 2而言,当接收端被调用3层时,调度端口可以为0,2,4,即CDM组1、2、3被全部占用1个DMRS端口;当接收端被调用4层时,调度端口可以为0,2,4,1即CDM组1、2、3均被占用过,然后再重新调度CDM组1内的端口。如表16-7所示:
表16-7 DMRS类型2示例
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000031
对于2符号DMRS type 2而言,当接收端被调用3层时,调度端口可以为0,2,4,;当接收端被调用8层时,调度端口可以为0,1,2,3,4,5,6,8。如表16-8所示:
表16-8 DMRS类型1示例
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000032
此外,对于FDM优先的调度方案,具体实现时,可以对FDM优先调度的CDM组的个数进行限定,以提升SU调度时候的频谱效率。比如,对于DMRS type 2中的3个CDM组,可以限定SU时候对于其中2个CDM组进行FDM优先调度。此时,对于type 2来说,当6层(或者4个DMRS端口)被调用时,调度端口可以为0,1,2,3,6,8,即CDM组1、和2被调度,当8层被调度是,调度端口可以为0,1,2,3,6,7,8,9,即CDM组1和2均被调用3个端口。这种方案的好处是CDM组3可以用来传输数据,提升频谱效率。如表16-9所示:
表16-9 DMRS类型2示例
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000033
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000034
连续端口号调度:对于接收端,DMRS端口按照DMRS端口号的大小依次连续进行调度。无关该方案具有表格设计简便的特点。如3层对应DMRS端口号为0-2,5层对应DMRS端口号为0-4,8层对应DMRS端口为0-7。
具体实施时,以上调度规则可以进行组合、补充、或者同时出现。比如如对于同时包含1符号和2符号DMRS type 1(或type 2)的表格,表格中可以存在CDM优先调度、FDM优先调度、连续端口号调度的状态,以增加系统调度的灵活性。
一种实现方法中,对于相同symbol number相同的调度层数,表格中可以同时包含CDM优先调度和FDM优先调度的两种状态,增加调度灵活、或者频谱效率。如表16-10所示:
表16-10 DMRS类型1示例
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000035
或者,在一种实现方式中,表格中可以对于大于特定调度层数使用连续端口号调度的规则,小于特定调度层数使用FDM或者CDM优先调度规则。如表16-11所示:
表16-11 DMRS类型1示例
value number of co-scheduled CDM groups UE Rank ports symbol number
X 3 3 0,2,4 2
Y 2 8 0-7 2
又或者,表格中可以对于1符号或者2符号FL DMRS配置使用不同的调度规则或多种规则的组合。比如对于type 2的1符号使用先FDM的调度规则,而对于type 2的2符号对于两个CDM组使用先FDM的调度规则,以此提升2符号时候SU调度的频谱效率。如表16-12所示:
表16-12 DMRS类型2示例
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000036
需要注意的是,以上实施例仅给出的SU调度的规则,对于具体的端口映射没有限制,可以理解对,对于具体不同的端口映射顺序,相同的调度规则可以得到不同的被调度DMRS端口号。如CDM组1内端口为{0,1,4,5},CDM组2内端口为{2,3,6,7}时,按照FDM调度优先原则,6层对应的端口号为0,1,2,3,4,6;而当CDM组1内端口为{0,1,4,6},CDM组2内端口为{2,3,5,7}时,按照FDM调度优先原则,6层对应的端口号为0,1,2,3,4,5;可以理解的,在不同的端口映射顺序的情况下,以上两种端口号调度的技术本质相同。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供的DMRS配置信息表中,可以添加CDM组信息,或者DMRS的符号信息,或者RMI信息以进行速率匹配。
下面详细对此进行说明。表17-1和表17-2为对应不同DMRS配置(DMRS configuration type)的DMRS端口指示表格(DMRS port assignment table),其中表16-1对应DMRS type 1,表17-2对应DMRS type 2。这里表17-1和17-2按照codeword个 数分为两列以节省bit开销,具体实现中可以按照其他方式设计表格的结构,这里仅为示例。
本实施例中,假设DMRS type 1和type 2的具体DMRS端口映射规则如下:
对于1符号DMRS type 1,CDM组1包含端口为{0,1},CDM组2包含端口为{2,3};
对于2符号DMRS type 1,CDM组1包含端口为{0,1,4,5},CDM组2包含端口为{2,3,6,7};
对于1符号DMRS type 2,CDM组1包含端口为{0,1},CDM组2包含端口为{2,3},CDM组3包含端口为{4,5}。
对于2符号DMRS type 2,CDM组1包含端口为{0,1,6,7},CDM组2包含端口为{2,3,8,9},CDM组3包含端口为{4,5,10,11}。
具体实施中,可以有不同的DMRS端口映射规则,本实施例中仅为便于说明。具体的对于不同的映射规则,表格中调度的规则不会发生改变。
可以看到,对于每种DMRS配置,表格中可以加入DMRS的符号个数信息(symbol number),以及RMI信息以进行DMRS的速率匹配。
可选的,这里的可以用于DMRS速率匹配的RMI信息可以是当前系统内被占用的CDM组的个数,或者可以为当前系统内CDM组被占用的组合状态,或者可以为被占用的CDM组的序号,表17-1和表17-2中给出的CDM组的个数(number of co-scheduled CDM groups)方式仅为示例。对于CDM组个数或CDM被占用的组合状态两种方法,可以使用前述实施例中方法。对于被占用的CDM组序号方式,一种实现方法为,当1个CDM组被占用时,对应表格中RMI为“1”,表示CDM组1被占用,当2个CDM组被占用时,对应表格中RMI为“1,2”,表示CDM组1、2被占用,当3个CDM组被占用时,对应表格中RMI为“1,2,3”,表示CDM组1、2、3被占用,具体实现时,被占用的CDM组的个数可以和CDM组序号的对应关系发生改变,这里给出的仅为示例。
可选的,表格中添加了DMRS的符号信息,一种实现方法中,可以在某次调度中仅使用表格中的一部分,以节省DCI的开销。比如,当系统当前DMRS最大符号个数为1符号时,在某次调度中仅配置表格中1符号对应的状态,即symbol number =1对应的状态,当系统通知当前DMRS最大符号个数为2时,配置表格中的全部状态。该表格配置的方法可以为前面实施例中给出的方案,如使用独立的RRC信令选择表格的一部分,如symbol number =1对应的状态,或者与表格的配置可以与DMRS最大符号个数的信令绑定,具体实现可以使用上面实施例中的方法,这里不再重复。另一种实现方法中,表格中可以不包括DMRS符号个数信息,即symbol number一列,DMRS符号信息通过value值隐性表示,比如,可以预先定义,表格17-1中value=0-10,对应1符号DMRS type 1的信息,value=11-34对应2符号DMRS type 1的信息。
可选的,表格中可以同时包括多种调度规则。比如表17-1中,one codeword下,value=2对应接收端当前正交端口个数(层数)为2,端口号为0,1,即CDM优先的调度规则,value=35对应接收端当前正交端口个数为2,端口号为0,2,及FDM优先的调度规则。具体实现中,可以将value=2和value=35的状态在表格中同时保留,以满足调度的灵活性;或者可以仅保留value=35,去除value=2,保证SU为FDM优先调 度,此时接收端可以根据端口号调度规则隐性获知当前为SU状态;或者可以保留value=2,去除value=35,以CDM优先原则进行调度,提升频谱效率。具体的,表格17-1中,value=0-34为满足基本调度需求的一种方案,value=35-38为不同的调度方法,在一种实现方法中,表格中可以不包含value=35-38以减小开销,或者可以将value=35-38的一个或多个与value=0-34中的一个或多个项进行替换,实现特定的调度需求,或者表格中可以保留value=35-38中的一个或者多个项,以实现灵活调度。相似的,表格17-2中,two codeword下,value=24为6层时CDM优先的调度规则,value=73为6层时连续DMRS端口号调度方案,value=74为6层时2个CDM组内的FDM优先调度规则,具体实现中,可以保留三种方案的任意一种或者多种,满足灵活调度或者节省开销的需求。具体的,表格17-2中,value=0-70为满足基本调度需求的一种方案,value=71-81为不同的调度方法,在具体实施中,表格中可以不包含value=71-81以减小开销,或者可以将value=71-81的一个或多个与value=0-70中的一个或多个项替换,如one codeword下保留value=71的状态而去除value=2的状态,以实现特定的调度需求,或者表格中可以保留value=71-81中的一个或者多个项,以实现灵活调度。可以理解的,表格17-1和17-2中给出的调度方案仅为示例,具体实现中,可以增加其他的调度方案以提升调度灵活性和满足调度需求。
可选的,表格17-1和17-2给出的是一种通过codeword的个数节省DCI开销的方案。具体实现中,可以不通过codeword个数进行分类,比如,可以通过接收端正交端口层数(DMRS正交端口个数)分为多个列,节省DCI开销;或者将表格17-1(或表格17-2)中one codeword和two codeword的状态分为不同的表格,对应不同的bit开销;或者可以将表格17-1(或表格17-2)中one codeword和two codeword的状态一起编码,如表格17-1的value=0-38对应接收端正交层数小于等于4层状态,大于等于39的value值对应表格17-1中two codeword中的状态(接收端正交层数大于4层),一种实现方法见表格16-3和17-4所示,具体实现中可以对指示状态的顺序进行改变,或者某些项进行替换,或者去除,以实现不同调度需求,也可以配置某次调度使用表格中的某些状态以节省开销,具体实现方法见前述实施例。此外,表格中可以包含SU和MU状态的指示,如表17-3和17-3括号中所示,可以理解的,具体实现中可以不包含SU和MU的状态指示信息,该处仅给出一种可能的实现方法。

在LTE中,MU-MIMO时,最大支持4个正交端口,这些端口使用相同的RE资源。这样设计的好处是可以有效的避免MU-MIMO时DMRS的速率匹配(rate matching,RM)问题。简单来说速率匹配就是指终端需要知道其时频资源内哪些RE没有数据传输,从而数据解调时避开这些RE,以进行正确的数据译码。比如,在下行传输时中,终端的时频资源内有些RE可能被控制信道或者RS占用,如果基站没有将这些RE的位置信息通知终端,终端会将这些位置的RS或者控制信息当作数据进行解调,从而引入译码误差。
在单用户MIMO(single user multiple-input multiple-output,SU-MIMO)场景下,基站仅与一个终端进行通信,时频资源内仅传输该终端的信息(RS、控制信令、数据等)。此时,终端可以根据自己的信息(如自己的端口、层数等信息)直接得知自己的DMRS的RE位置,在数据译码时避开这些RE。因此在SU时候并不存在DMRS的rate matching问题。
对于多用户MIMO(multi-user multiple-input multiple-output,MU-MIMO),基站同时与多个终端进行通信,终端之间通过使用正交的DMRS端口(port)保证正交性,端口间的正交性可以使用时分复用(time division multiplexing,TDM)、频分复用(frequency division multiplexing,FDM)、或者码分复用(code division multiplexing,CDM)保证。当使用TDM和FDM时,正交的DMRS端口占用不同的时、频资源。此时,该DMRS端口所占用的RE上就不能传输其他DMRS端口的数据。比如,port1、port2通过FDM或者TDM正交,port1占用RE1,那么基站就不会在RE1上传输port2的数据,以免port2的数据对port1的DMRS产生噪声干扰,影响信道估计精度。然而,当port1与port2通过CDM正交时,就不存在以上问题,这是因为port1与port2的DMRS虽然占用相同的RE,但是两者通过码分复用方式进行复用的,从而保证了两个端口的DMRS之间的正交性。
在MU-MIMO时,终端需要知道被共同调度的其他终端的端口信息,从而获得哪些RE位置被其他终端的所使用端口的DMRS占用,不会传输本终端的数据。如果终端不能获得这些信息,终端会将其他用户的DMRS当作自己的数据进行解调,从而导致译码错误。
在LTE中,MU-MIMO的rate matching问题通过保证调度端口的DMRS通过CDM复用的方式解决,此时,所有终端的DMRS都通过CDM复用与相同的RE上,从而避免了DMRS的rate matching问题,这种设计可以称为对终端透明的MU-MIMO。然而,如前面介绍的,LTE中为了保证这种透明的设计,使得MU-MIMO仅能支持最大4个正交端口。
在NR系统,例如5G中,为了充分发挥MU-MIMO的优势,标准中已经采纳了MU-MIMO支持12个最大正交端口的设计。考虑到现有标准中采纳的DMRS pattern仅能支持最大4个端口的CDM复用,LTE中的透明式的方案不再适用。
因而一种新的MU-MIMO的DMRS rate matching设计十分重要,DMRS的rate matching可以通过如下方式解决:
第一种:DMRS所对应的资源单元,例如:符号(symbol)位置上所有子载波不传输数据:这种方案无需信令指示,但是会造成较大的频谱资源浪费。比如图20中UE0使用端口1~端口4,UE1使用端口5~端口8,端口9~端口12位置对应的RE全部不传输数据,就会造成极大的资源浪费。
第二种,直接通知UE其他UE的端口序号:当其他UE占用较多端口时,会造成较大的信令开销,如UE0使用端口1~2,UE1使用端口5~端口8的时候,就需要向UE0通知UE1所使用的端口5~8,并且向UE1通知UE0所使用的端口1-2,这种方式,需要的信令开销特别大。
具体的,需要1/0bit map指示DMRS port组绝对位置,比如图34中每一个DMRS端口组使用1bit进行单独的指示,对于图20中含有6个端口组,需要6bits进行指示实际发送层数并使用端口分配规则约束:比如直接指示当前基站调度的层数,对于图20,存在需要分别指示1-12层的可能,需要4bits进行指示。
为了实现更有效的数据传输,本申请提出一种和最大可支持端口数或DMRS pattern或者该pattern中的CDM端口组个数或DMRS configuration type对应的速率匹配指示方案,来匹配5G DMRS传输需求。
下面对本申请提供的DMRS速率匹配指示和接收的方法进行说明。
如图21所示,为本申请提供的一种解调参考信号速率匹配指示和接收的方法。该方法可以包括:
S201:发射端生成解调参考信号DMRS指示信息;所述DMRS指示信息用于指示可用于承载DMRS的资源中未被DMRS占用的资源;
其中,所述DMRS指示信息通过指示量化的当前正交传输层数,或当前已被使用端口组状态组合,或当前非本接收端使用的正交传输层数或端口组状态,或需被静默的资源单元,以指示可用于承载DMRS的资源中未被DMRS占用的资源。
在一种实现方式中,发射端发送所述DMRS指示信息之前,还包括:
发送DMRS传输方案指示信息,用于指示所述当前DMRS传输方案;不同的DMRS传输方案对应的最大可支持正交端口数不同,或对应的DMRS图样或对应的DMRS配置类型不同。
具体的,不同的最大可支持端口数或者DMRS图样(或DMRS图样中CDM端口组个数),或者DMRS配置类型使用不同的DMRS指示信息进行指示,例如,对于对于正交端口,最大可支持端口数为4,6,8,12的MU-MIMO场景,或者对于非正交端口,最大可支持端口数分别为8,12,16,24;这些最大可支持的端口数分别有对应的DMRS速率匹配状态信息,这些DMRS速率匹配状态至少有两种是不同的。
DMRS指示信息则是让接收端知道速率匹配状态,也即,时频资源内,哪些资源单元还没有被其他接收端的DMRS占用,而是用于数据传输,接收端在数据解调的时候就可以在这些资源单元上进行正确的数据译码。
另一种实现方式中,该DMRS指示信息针对不同的DMRS图样或DMRS图样中 包含的DMRS端口组的个数(比如可以有两张表格分别对应DMRS图样中含有2个或者3个DMRS端口组)来配置的,一般来讲,一种DMRS图样就对应着一种支持最大可支持端口数的MU-MIMO场景,该DMRS图样示意出其支持多少个正交的CDM端口组,每一个端口组由多少个资源单元组成,因此针对不同的DMRS图样配置不同的DMRS指示信息,也可以让接收端指示,在时频资源内,哪些资源单元还没有被用于DMRS传输,而是用于数据传输,接收端便可以正确的进行数据解调。
再一种实现方式中,DMRS指示信息还可以针对DMRS配置类型(congfigration type)来进行配置。
在具体的实现中,因此,本申请实施例中为描述方便,上述的DMRS指示信息可以用value值来表示,在具体实现的时候,可以为N bits,其中N与DMRS图样中包含的DMRS端口组个数M(CS/OCC/CS+OCC),相关。对于不同pattern或DMRS配置类型(type),X的取值数可以不同。比如,对于包含2个DMRS端口组(M=2)的DMRS configuration type1,N可以是1bit或者2bits,对于包含3个DMRS端口组(M=3)的DMRS configuration type2,N可以是2或3bits。
如下表18所示,这是一个DMRS指示信息的例子,本实施例的DMRS指示信息主要是用作速率匹配的,因此用Rate matching指示信息表示,具体形式并不局限于以下形式,可以是表格,或者数字,或者公式,其中有P中状态,P的个数可以用满Nbits(用满所有信令状态),或者大于N bits(增加系统调度灵活性或其他设计需求),或者小于N bits(量化以节省信令开销)。M_p为速率匹配状态信息(Rate matching information,RMI)或包含DMRS速率匹配信息的参数集合(parameter set),终端可以根据M_p的指示完成关于DMRS的速率匹配。上述速率匹配状态信息在后续和图示中用RMI来表示,仅为描述方便,对其含义不作限定。在具体实现中,该速率匹配状态信息可以用正交传输层数的量化值来表示或端口号或CDM组等前述方法表示。
表18
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000046
Rate matching指示信息与速率匹配状态信息相关,当速率匹配状态信息可以用具体的正交传输层数来表示时,上述的DMRS指示信息是从DMRS配置信息中确定的,所述DMRS配置信息中还包括总正交端口数的指示信息,该总正交端口数的指示信息可以指示实际可能出现的所有正交端口数,或者实际可能出现的所有正交端口数的量化值。所述所有正交端口数的量化值是DMRS正交层数信息,或者是DMRS天线正交端口集合指示信息,或者DMRS天线正交端口的CDM组信息,或者是依据CDM大小生成的信息。
在具体的实现中,正交传输层数的量化值可以是DMRS层数信息,或者是DMRS天线端口集合信息,或者DMRS天线端口的CDM组信息。所述DMRS层数信息中, DMRS层数是一个CDM组中的DMRS天线端口数量的整数倍。比如,对于一个含有两个DMRS天线端口组的DMRS图样,假设端口组1为{1,2,3,4},端口组2为{5,6,7,8},可以量化为4层与8层。此外,所述DMRS层数信息中,DMRS层数还可以是一个CDM组中的从小到大排序时连续的DMRS天线端口数量的整数倍,比如,对于CDM组{1,2,5,7}和{3,4,6,8},可以量化为2层与4层。这些信息,都可以让接收端识别出哪些资源单元是被用于本接收端的DMRS传输,哪些资源单元是用于CDM复用的其他接收端的DMRS传输,剩下的资源单元便是用于与本接收端相关的数据传输,因此,本接收端在相应的资源单元上进行数据解调。
应理解的是,速率匹配状态信息的内容可能根据DMRS pattern的端口映射顺序不同而不同,比如,可以包括但不限定于:
1、DMRS端口组mute状态或者被使用的状态:速率匹配状态信息指示各DMRS端口组的状态,RM内容与端口映射顺序无关,CDM组编号顺序并没有具体限制,比如可以是按照端口组内端口最小序号从小到大进行排序。
2、分档量化的系统当前正交传输层数
假设DMRS端口号为p=y+v,y是端口号偏移量,可以保证p为NR定义的DMRS端口最小值,v=1,2,....是PDSCH当前正交传输层数(LTE中是8ports)。对v进行分档量化,以节省rate matching的DCI信令开销,在具体实现中,可以向上量化,向下量化,
2.1、向上分档量化的系统当前总层数(速率匹配状态信息内容与映射顺序相关)可以等于每个CDM组内连续的端口号个数或最大port序号(假设y=0,仅当每个CDM组内的port编号都是连续的从小到大、或者从大到小),例如{1,2,3,4}{5,6,7,8}{9,10,11,12},对于相同的DMRS pattern,映射顺序改变时会RMI内容发生变化。
2.2、向下分档量化的系统当前总正交传输层数,这种方式中速率匹配状态信息的内容与DMRS pattern的映射顺序无关,可以等于CDM组连续的最小端口号,或其从1开始编号的量化(假设y=0,端口从1开始编号)。
2.3 DMRS组内端口号从小到大排序时,从小开始,连续的DMRS编号个数,比如两个DMRS端口组{1,2,5,6}和{3,4,7,8},可以量化为2和4层。
需要说明的是,之所以用正交传输层数的量化值,是因为如果要指示接收端具体的正交传输层数,例如指示正交传输层数{1,2,3,4},需要2个bits来进行指示,而将正交传输层数{1,2,3,4}量化成一个值,例如向上量化成正交传输层数4,或者向下量化成正交传输层数1,或者用2或3来表示改组正交传输层数{1,2,3,4,}则指示正交传输层数的量化值只需要一个bit就可以指示了,例如用0表示正交传输层数的量化值4,因此可以减少指示开销。
2.4 DMRS组状态信息或DMRS组序号或组编号;或DMRS组个数,其中,所述CDM组个数为系统中被占用/调度(co-scheldued)的CDM组。
S202:发射端通过时频资源发送DMRS指示信息。
具体实现中,本申请实施例将不同最大可支持端口数或不同DMRS图样对应的速率匹配方式通过DMRS指示信息进行指示,一种方式是隐性指示,另一种方式是通过显性信令的方式进行指示。
隐性指示方案中,上述正交传输层数的量化值配置在DMRS配置信息表中,而DMRS指示信息采用DMRS配置信息表中的DMRS指示信息(value)来进行指示;该DMRS配置信息表可以与LTE中的类似,例如,LTE中的天线端口数(Antenna ports),扰码指示(scrambling identity)和正交传输层数指示(number of layers indication),它还可以包含DMRS端口数、端口索引、序列生成信息、CDM类型中的至少一种,在此基础上,添加正交传输层数的量化值。该DMRS配置信息表可以同时保存在发射端和接收端上,发射端向接收端发送指示信息,应理解的是,发射端向接收端发送LTE中原有的DCI信令(由于沿用LTE的信令,该DCI信令可能不会命名为指示信息,但是其可以指示速率匹配方案),接收端通过该信令同时获得自己的端口信息与系统的量化总传输层数,结合该两个信息,计算出其他接收端使用的端口。也即,接收端识别出哪些资源单元是被用于本接收端的DMRS传输,哪些资源单元是用于CDM复用的其他接收端的DMRS传输,剩下的资源单元便是用于与本接收端相关的数据传输,因此,本接收端在相应的资源单元上进行数据解调。
在显性信令指示方案中,上述的DMRS指示信息和速率匹配状态信息的对应关系通过独立于LTE中的DMRS配置信息表而存在,也即DMRS指示信息和速率匹配状态信息之间的对应关系没有隐含在DMRS配置信息表中,因此发射端和接收端除了分别保存有DMRS配置信息表之外,还分别保存DMRS指示信息和速率匹配状态信息的对应关系配置表(或者该信息表可以通过RRC进行配置),该对应关系配置表独立于DMRS配置信息表而存在,发射端通过显性信令的方式,将速率配置指示信息发送给接收端,接收端将该DMRS指示信息作为索引,在对应关系配置表中查找对应的速率匹配状态信息,接收端将该速率匹配状态信息与所述DMRS配置信息表相结合,识别出哪些资源单元是被用于被本接收端的DMRS占用,哪些资源单元是被CDM复用的其他接收端的DMRS占用,剩下的资源单元便是用于与本接收端相关的数据传输,因此,本接收端在相应的资源单元上进行数据解调。
需要说明的是,相同值的DMRS指示信息可以对应不同的正交传输层数的量化值,因此DMRS指示信息与正交传输层数的量化值之间的对应关系还可以通过单独的信令进行指示。应理解的是,对于显性指示方案,量化的正交传输层数就是通过DMRS指示信息指示的,接收端会收到两个信令,一个是LTE中的DMRS DCI信令,一个是用来传输当前量化正交传输层数的DMRS指示信息或者包含DMRS指示信息的信令(本文中又可以称为rate matching指示信令)。
可以理解的是,无论是隐性指示还是显性指示的方案中,上述的DMRS指示信息发送到接收端的时候,可以是以独立信令的方式发送,也可以是携带在下行信令中发送,在此不作限定。
上述的发送DMRS指示信息,以及指示DMRS指示信息和正交传输层数的量化值两者之间对应关系的信令,可以无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)、媒体接入控制控制单元(media access control control element,MAC CE)或DCI向接收端发送,或者这三种信令的任意两种或者三种的组合。
在一种实现方式中,所述信令由码字(codeword)的个数确定是否发送DMRS指示信息。例如,如1个codeword则触发信令以发送DMRSDMRS指示信息,2个 codeword则不发送该信令,原因在于,在2个codeword对应的SU-MIMO(single user multiple-input multiple-output,SU-MIMO)场景下,发射端,例如基站仅与一个接收端(终端)进行通信,时频资源内仅传输该终端的信息(RS、控制信令、数据等)。此时,终端可以根据自己的信息(如自己的端口、层数等信息)直接得知自己的DMRS的RE位置,在数据译码时避开这些RE。因此在SU时候并不存在DMRS的rate matching问题。
S203:接收端接收所述DMRS指示信息。
S204:根据所述DMRS指示信息得到速率匹配信息,在未传输DMRS的资源上进行数据解调。
具体实现中,如果是隐性指示方式,接收端接收到该DMRS指示信息之后,以其value值为索引,在DMRS配置信息表中查找对应的正交传输层数的量化值(进而获知DMRS层数信息,或者DMRS天线端口集合信息,或者也DMRS天线端口的码分复用CDM组信息等等),以及自己使用的层数、DMRS端口号等信息,进而接收端识别出哪些资源单元是被用于本接收端的DMRS传输,哪些资源单元是用于CDM复用的其他接收端的DMRS传输,剩下的资源单元便是用于与本接收端相关的数据传输,因此,本接收端在相应的资源单元上进行数据解调。如果是显性指示方式,在发射端和接收端除了分别保存有DMRS配置信息表之外,还分别保存指示信息配置表情况下(或者该DMRS配置信息表可以通过RRC进行配置),接收端将该指示信息作为索引,在对应关系配置表中查找对应的速率匹配状态,接收端将该速率匹配状态信息与所述DMRS配置信息表相结合,识别出哪些资源单元是被用于本接收端的DMRS传输,哪些资源单元是用于其他接收端的DMRS传输(可选的,在一种实现方法中,该信息可以通过速率匹配信息直接获得),剩下的资源单元便是用于与本接收端相关的数据传输,因此,本接收端在相应的资源单元上进行数据解调。
本申请提供的DMRS指示和接收的方法还可以应用于非相关联合传输(Non-coherent joint transmission,NC-JT)2PDCCH场景,具体的,使用非准共址QCL组的2个发射端,静默非本发射端的DMRS对应的资源单元后进行数据传输。可以理解为,发射端之间相互mute对方DMRS ports group,具体实施中,可以为TRP默认将对方TRP的QCL组内的DMRS对应RE位置进行muting。对于DMRS pattern type1,其中包含两个DMRS端口组,在NC-JT场景下,两个DMRS端口组之间可以为non-QCL的,而每个DMRS端口组内的端口为QCL的,此时,2个TRP可以分别使用一个端口组,因此,该方案可以直接解决,无需额外的信令指示。对于DMRS pattern type2,其中包含3个DMRS端口组,此时可以能存在一个TRP使用1个DMRS端口组,而另一个TRP使用两个DMRS端口组的场景,此时,包含两个DMRS端口组的TPR需要指示信息进行指示,而使用1个DMRS端口组的TPR则可以无需指示信息进行指示。
而在1PDCCH场景下,也可以通过独立指示的方式,具体流程仍可参见图21所示的步骤:
需要说明的是,在步骤S201,是由非相关联合传输的发射端生成DMRS指示信息,该DMRS指示信息根据协作的多个TRP所能够使用的QCL组内的DMRS端口生成;
在步骤S202,发射端向接收端发送DMRS指示信息,对于1PDCCH场景,该DMRS 指示信息指示协作的多个TRP所能够使用的DMRS对应的资源单元,而对于2PDCCH场景,该速率匹配信息指示本发射端使用的DMRS对应的资源单元。
接收端接收到所述DMRS指示信息之后操作与前述实施例的S203和S204相同,在此不再赘述。
若该技术方案应用于上行传输场景中,则发射端可以是终端,接收端可以是网络设备,例如基站。若该技术方案应用于下行传输场景中,则发射端可以是网络设备,例如基站,接收端可以是终端。
本申请提供的DMRS速率匹配的指示的方法,通过DMRS指示信息与最大可支持端口数或者DMRS图样或DMRS配置类型对应,可以与NR的多种场景进行匹配,例如NC-JT或动态TDD或者灵活双工场景,上述方法能应用于NR复杂多变的场景中,另外还可以满足更高层数据传输的需求,并且降低指示开销。
可以理解的,这里的DMRS端口是指系统支持的所有DMRS端口,至于实际实现时,在一次调度过程中是否使用了该所有的DMRS端口,还是使用了该所有的DMRS端口中的部分DMRS端口,本申请不进行限定。
以下将说明本申请提供的DMRS速率匹配的指示方法和DMRS速率匹配的接收方法的具体实施过程。
实施例五
本实施例五主要描述设计显性信令来指示DMRS指示信息。
如图22所示的是以TRP0支持的最大可支持正交端口数为12,其中,给终端0(UE0)分配的端口是1,2,7,8ports,给终端1(UE1)分配的端口是3,4,9,10ports。
在此场景中,UE0和UE1使用的DMRS端口有多种,如图23所示是为12个DMRS端口的一种映射规则的示意图,其中,每种阴影小方格表示一个DMRS端口组被映射至的RE,n=0。12个DMRS端口分为3个DMRS端口组,分别为DMRS端口组1,DMRS端口组2,DMRS端口组3;
每个DMRS端口组包括4个DMRS端口。每个DMRS端口组中的各DMRS端口对应的DMRS之间通过CDM方式复用相同的时频资源。这3个DMRS端口组的映射规则如下:
第一DMRS端口组映射的时频资源在频域上包括资源单元的第12n、12n+1、12n+6、12n+7个子载波。
第二DMRS端口组映射的时频资源在频域上包括资源单元的第12n+2、12n+3、12n+8、12n+9个子载波。
第三DMRS端口组映射的时频资源在频域上包括资源单元的第12n+4、12n+5、12n+10、12n+11个子载波。
其中,n可以取大于等于0,且小于
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000047
的任一个或多个整数。下文中均以资源单元在频域上的子载波数目为M为例进行说明,其中,M是大于或等于1的整数。例如,若资源单元是1个RB pair(即时域方向上的2个RB),则M=12;若资源单元是频域方向的2个RB,则M=24。每个CDM组在时域上占用连续的两个符号。
假设DMRS端口组1包含DMRS端口{1,2,7,8},DMRS端口组2包含DMRS端口{3,4,9,10},DMRS端口组3包含DMRS端口{5,6,11,12}。这里仅作为示例,具体的 DMRS端口映射方式不做限定。值得注意的是,当DMRS端口映射方式改变时,rate matching状态信息也会发生改变。根据本方案介绍的方法,相关领域人员可以简单得到。具体实现中,如果DMRS端口映射方式改变,rate matching状态信息发生改变,则表示rate matching状态信息的正交传输层数的量化值也可以随之变化。因此,DMRS指示信息和正交传输层数的量化值之间的对应关系可以通过一个信令来进行指示。
DMRS指示信息Value的值可以有两种表示方式,一种是十进制,一种是二进制。
当value=0(十进制)或者00(二进制)时,其对应的正交传输层数的量化值(图中以RMI示意)为4,表示当前量化层数为4;当Value=1或01时,其表示RMI=8;当Value=2或10时,对应的RMI=12;当value=3或11时,其表示RMI=reserved(预留值),具体实现时,可以为空置,或者可以放置其他状态,如对应第2和第3端口组(或第1和第3端口组)被占用的量化为4层的传输状态。此时假设基站按照端口组编号顺序调度。
此时,DMRS指示信息用二进制来指示时,用2bits即可表示。
如前表4所示的是支持最大12个正交端口数的SU/MU MIMO DMRS配置信息表,其和LTE的DMRS的DCI signaling表格类似,该表格仅适用于透明的MU-MIMO,接收端通过该表格获得自己的DMRS端口和正交传输层数等信息。此外,接收端还可以根据已经接收到的DMRS指示信息(value的具体值)指示的RMI,获知量化的当前正交传输层数,或当前已被使用端口组状态组合,或当前非本接收端使用的正交传输层数或端口组状态,或需被静默的资源单元,从而获知可用于承载DMRS的资源中未被DMRS占用的资源,从而可以获得其他配对终端的DMRS端口信息,完成速率匹配。
当UE0接收到的DMRS指示信息value的值为1(十进制)或者01(二进制)时,代表当前正交传输层数的量化值为8,从而知道DMRS端口组1和DMRS端口组2均被占用。UE0结合表4中获得的自己的端口信息,知道DMRS端口组1包含自己的DMRS端口,而DMRS端口组2未包含自己的DMRS端口,从而获知DMRS端口组2被其他终端使用,进而不会传输自己的数据。同样的,UE1通过指示,得知正交传输层数的量化值为4,结合表4中获得的自己的端口信息,进而得知DMRS端口组1和DMRS端口组2被占用,从而获知非自己使用的DMRS端口组1位置不会传输自己数据。此外,UE0和UE1通过速率匹配信息,获知DMRS端口组3位置可以传输数据。
以上只是示例,对于不同的DMRS pattern以及不同的端口映射方式,RMI的值和DCI信息表的表现形式可以不同,比如,上面例子中出的RMI为当前量化层数,也可以是DMRS端口组的序号。
图22所示的系统支持的最大可支持端口数是12,在其他的实现方式中,TRP还可以支持例如4、6、8等最大可支持端口数,其支持的最大可支持端口数可以通过显性信令如RRC、MAC CE或DCI指示,也可以和场景对应的其他配置参数绑定,如频点,载波间隔、帧结构等。
如图24所示的是以TRP0支持的最大可支持端口数为6,其中,给终端0(UE0)分配的端口是1,2ports,给终端1(UE1)分配的端口是3,4ports。
在此场景中,UE0和UE1使用的DMRS端口有多种复用方式,如图25所示是为6个DMRS端口的一种映射规则的示意图,其中,每种阴影小方格表示一个DMRS端口组被映射至的RE,n=0。6个DMRS端口分为3个DMRS端口组,分别为DMRS端口组1,DMRS端口组2,DMRS端口组3;
DMRS端口组1映射的时频资源在频域上包括资源单元的第12n、12n+1、12n+6、12n+7个子载波中的至少一个。
DMRS端口组2映射的时频资源在频域上包括资源单元的第12n+2、12n+3、12n+8、12n+9个子载波中的至少一个。
DMRS端口组3映射的时频资源在频域上包括资源单元的第12n+4、12n+5、12n+10、12n+11个子载波中的至少一个。
其中,n可以取大于等于0,且小于
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000048
的任一个或多个整数。3个CDM组在时域上占用1个符号。
当value=0(十进制)或者00(二进制)时,其对应的正交传输层数的量化值(图中以RMI示意)为2,表示当前量化层数为2;当Value=1或01时,其表示RMI=4,当Value=2或10时,对应的RMI=6;当value=3或11时,其表示RMI=reserved(预留值)。
此时,DMRS指示信息用二进制来指示时,用2bits即可表示。
同理,接收端还可以根据已经接收到的DMRS指示信息(value的具体值)指示的RMI,获知量化的当前正交传输层数,或当前已被使用端口组状态组合,或当前非本接收端使用的正交传输层数或端口组状态,或需被静默的资源单元,从而获知可用于承载DMRS的资源中未被DMRS占用的资源,从而可以获得其他配对终端的DMRS端口信息,完成速率匹配。进一步的,结合表2的支持6个正交DMRS端口的SU/MU MIMO DMRS信令表格,可以获得其他配对终端的DMRS端口信息。例如,UE0接收到的DMRS指示信息value的值为1(十进制)或者01(二进制)时,代表当前正交传输层数的量化值为4,假设DMRS端口组1包含DMRS端口{1,2},DMRS端口组2包含DMRS端口{3,4},DMRS端口组3包含DMRS端口{5,6},根据速率匹配信息,可以得知DMRS端口组1和DMRS端口组2被使用,DMRS端口组3未被使用。此时,终端结合自己的DMRS端口信息,可获知其他终端使用的端口组位置。
如图26所示的是以TRP0支持的最大可支持端口数为8,其中,给终端0(UE0)分配的端口是1,2,3,4ports,终端1(UE1)分配的端口是5,6,7,8ports。
在此场景中,UE0和UE1使用的DMRS端口可以有多种复用方式,如图27所示是8个DMRS端口的一种映射规则的示意图,其中,每种阴影小方格表示一个DMRS端口组被映射至的RE,n=0。8个DMRS端口分为2个DMRS端口组,分别为DMRS端口组1,DMRS端口组2;每个DMRS端口组包括4个DMRS端口。
每个DMRS端口组中的各DMRS端口对应的DMRS之间通过CDM方式复用相同的时频资源。这2个DMRS端口组的映射规则如下:
每个DMRS端口组映射的时频资源在时域上映射于连续的2个符号,并且:
DMRS端口组1映射的时频资源在频域上均包括资源单元的第12n、12n+2、12n+4、12n+6、12n+8、12n+10个子载波中的至少一个。
DMRS端口组2映射的时频资源在频域上均包括资源单元的第12n+1、12n+3、12n+5、12n+7、12n+9、12n+11个子载波中的至少一个。
其中,n可以取大于等于0,且小于
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000049
的任一个或多个整数。
当value=0(十进制)或者00(二进制)时,其对应的正交传输层数的量化值(图中以RMI示意)为4,表示当前量化层数为4;当Value=1或01时,其表示RMI=8。此外,可以表示两个CDM组的组合,比如,value=0(十进制)或者00(二进制)时,代表DMRS端口组1被使用,当Value=1或01时,DMRS端口组1和DMRS端口组2均被使用。
此时,DMRS指示信息用二进制来指示时,用1bits即可表示。
同理,接收端还可以根据已经接收到的DMRS指示信息(value的具体值)指示的RMI,获知量化的当前正交传输层数,或当前已被使用端口组状态组合,或当前非本接收端使用的正交传输层数或端口组状态,或需被静默的资源单元,从而获知可用于承载DMRS的资源中未被DMRS占用的资源,从而可以获得其他配对终端的DMRS端口信息,从而进行rate matching。下面以端口组状态组合作为示例,量化参数层数方案可以参照前面的例子。例如,UE0接收到的DMRS指示信息value的值为1(十进制)或者01(二进制)时,代表DMRS端口组1和DMRS端口组2均被占用,UE0根据自己可以获得DMRS端口信息,得知自己使用的DMRS端口组,从而知道其他端口组被其他UE使用,不会传输自己的数据,进而进行速率匹配。
如图28所示的是以TRP0支持的最大可支持端口数为4,其中,给终端0(UE0)分配的端口是1,2ports,终端1(UE1)分配的端口是3,4ports。在此场景中,UE0和UE1使用的DMRS端口可以有多种CDM复用方式,如图29所示是为2个DMRS端口的一种映射规则的示意图,其中,每种阴影小方格表示一个DMRS端口组被映射至的RE,4个DMRS端口分为2个DMRS端口组,分别为DMRS端口组1,DMRS端口组2;每个DMRS端口组包括2个DMRS端口。
每个DMRS端口组中的各DMRS端口对应的DMRS之间通过CDM方式复用相同的时频资源。这2个DMRS端口组的映射规则如下:
每个DMRS端口组映射的时频资源在时域上映射于1个符号,并且:
DMRS端口组1映射的时频资源在频域上包括资源单元的第2n个子载波。
DMRS端口组2映射的时频资源在频域上包括资源单元的第2n+1个子载波。
其中,n可以取大于等于0,且小于
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000050
的任一个或多个整数。
假设DMRS端口组1包含DMRS端口{1,3},DMRS端口组2包含DMRS端口{2,4},此时,当value=0(十进制)或者00(二进制)时,其对应的正交传输层数的量化值(图中以RMI示意)为2,表示当前量化层数为2;当Value=1或01时,其表示RMI=4。
此时,DMRS指示信息用二进制来指示时,用1bits即可表示。
同理,接收端还可以根据已经接收到的DMRS指示信息(value的具体值)指示的RMI,获知量化的当前正交传输层数,或当前已被使用端口组状态组合,或当前非本接收端使用的正交传输层数或端口组状态,或需被静默的资源单元,可以获得其他配对终端的DMRS端口信息,从而进行rate matching。例如,UE0接收到的指示信息value的值为1(十进制)或者01(二进制)时,代表当前正交传输层数的量化值为4, 此时,终端通过速率匹配信息得知DMRS端口组1和DMRS端口组2均被占用,结合自己使用的DMRS端口,可以得知其他终端使用的DMRS端口组,从而进行速率匹配。需要注意的是,当图27和图29的方案也可以根据基站的调度顺序,如先FDM后CDM调度,量化为1和2层,从而,该实施例中的速率匹配信息可以与DMRS图样配置(type)或者DMRS图样包含的端口组个数进行对应,从而简化接收端存储的开销。
上述TRP支持4、6、8、12等最大可支持端口数时,最大可支持正交传输层数对于不同的DMRS pattern和DMRS端口映射方式会不同,总结成规律如下:
量化的正交传输层数可以通过以下方式获得,这里仅给出一个规则,具体实现可以直接存成数值,不需要选取的过程:
假设所有DMRS端口量化为从1开始,那么每个DMRS端口组内,当端口号从小到大排序时,量化层数可以为,
如端口组1{1,2,3,4}端口组2{5,6,7,8},量化为4,8;
如端口组1{1,3,5,7}端口组2{2,4,6,8},量化为1,2;
如端口组1{1,2,5,7}端口组2{3,4,6,8},量化为2,4;
如端口组1{1,2,5,6}端口组2{3,4,7,8},量化为2,4。
如端口组1{1,2,3,4}端口组2{5,6,7,8}端口组3{9,10,11,12},量化为4,8,12;
如端口组1{1,4,7,10}端口组2{2,5,8,11}端口组3{3,6,9,12},量化为1,2,3;
如端口组1{1,2,7,8}端口组2{3,4,9,10}端口组3{5,6,11,12},量化为2,4,6;
如端口组1{1,2,7,10}端口组2{3,4,8,11}端口组3{5,6,9,12},量化为2,4,6;
实施上述实施例,针对每一最大可支持可支持传输层设计对应的DMRS配置信息表,可以满足NR系统中不同场景的需求。
实施例六
针对不同的DMRS pattern,设计不同的信令进行指示。其中对于不同的DMRS端口映射方式,表格中的内容可能不同,可以为量化的当前正交传输层数,也可以为DMRS端口组的状态。
如图30(a)~30(e)所示,其示意的映射顺序为先CDM映射后FDM映射的DMRS pattern。
对于每一个DMRS pattern,对应的指示信息的开销不同,例如:
对于图30(a)所示的支持4个正交端口的pattern而言,需要1bit指示RMI,当RM指示取值Value=0或00时,表示速率匹配状态信息RMI为2,即当前正交传输层数的量化值为2;当Value=1或01时,表示速率匹配状态信息RMI=4;
对于图30(b)所示的支持8个正交端口的pattern而言,需要1bit指示RM,当RM指示取值Value=0/00时,表示速率匹配RMI为4;当Value=1/01时,表示速率匹配RMI=8;
对于图30(c)所示的支持6个正交端口的pattern而言,需要2bits指示RM,当RM指示取值Value=0/00时,表示速率匹配RMI为2;当Value=1/01时,表示速率匹配RMI=4;当Value=2/10时,表示速率匹配RMI=6;
对于图30(d)所示的支持12个正交端口的pattern而言,需要2bits指示RM, 当RM指示取值Value=0/00时,表示速率匹配RMI为4;当Value=1/01时,表示速率匹配RMI=8;当Value=2/10时,表示速率匹配RMI=12;
对于图30(e)所示的支持12个正交端口的pattern而言,需要2bits指示RM,当RM指示取值Value=0/00时,表示速率匹配RMI为2;当Value=1/01时,表示速率匹配RMI=4;当Value=2/10时,表示速率匹配RMI=6。
如图31(a)~31d)所示,其示意的映射顺序为先FDM映射后CDM映射的DMRS pattern。
对于每一个DMRS pattern,对应的指示信息的开销不同,例如:
对于图31(a)所示的支持4个正交端口的pattern而言,需要1bit指示RMI,当RM指示取值Value=0/00时,表示速率匹配RMI为1;当Value=1/01时,表示速率匹配RMI=2;
对于图31(b)所示的支持8个正交端口的pattern而言,需要1bit指示RM,当RM指示取值Value=0/00时,表示速率匹配RMI为1;当Value=1/01时,表示速率匹配RMI=2;
对于图31(c)所示的支持6个正交端口的pattern而言,需要2bits指示RM,当RM指示取值Value=0/00时,表示速率匹配RMI为1;当Value=1/01时,表示速率匹配RMI=2;当Value=2/10时,表示速率匹配RMI=3;当RM指示取值Value=3/11时,表示速率匹配RMI为reserved;
对于图31(d)所示的支持12个正交端口的pattern而言,需要2bits指示RM,当RM指示取值Value=0/00时,表示速率匹配RMI为1;当Value=1/10时,表示速率匹配RMI=2;当Value=2/10时,表示速率匹配RMI=3;当RM指示取值Value=3/11时,表示速率匹配RMI为reserved;
此外,在该种端口映射方案下,多个DMRS图样可以对应于相同的RM表格,比如31(a)与31(b)可以对应相同的速率匹配表格,如31(a)的表格,而31(c)与31(d)可以对应相同的速率匹配表格,如31(c)的表格,及表格可以与DMRS type对应,或DMRS图样中的端口组个数对应。该方法的好处是可以节省终端存储的开销。
如图32(a)~32(d)所示,其示意的映射顺序为CDM与FDM混合端口映射方式。
对于每一个DMRS pattern,对应的指示信息的开销不同,例如:
对于图32(a)所示的支持4个正交端口的pattern而言,需要1bit指示RMI,当RM指示取值Value=0/00时,表示速率匹配RMI为2;当Value=1/01时,表示速率匹配RMI=4;
对于图32(b)所示的支持8个正交端口的pattern而言,需要1bit指示RM,当RM指示取值Value=0/00时,表示速率匹配RMI为2;当Value=1/01时,表示速率匹配RMI=4;
对于图32(c)所示的支持6个正交端口的pattern而言,需要2bits指示RM,当RM指示取值Value=0/00时,表示速率匹配RMI为2;当Value=1/01时,表示速率匹配RMI=4;当Value=2/10时,表示速率匹配RMI=6;当value=3/11时,表示速率匹配RMI的值为reserved;
对于图32(d)所示的支持12个正交端口的pattern而言,需要2bits指示RM,当RM指示取值Value=0/00时,表示速率匹配RMI为2;当Value=1/01时,表示速率匹配RMI=4;当Value=2/10时,表示速率匹配RMI=6;当RM指示取值Value=3/11时,表示速率匹配RMI为reserved;
此外,在该种端口映射方案下,多个DMRS图样可以对应于相同的RM表格,比如32(a)与32(b)可以对应相同的速率匹配表格,如32(a)的表格,而32(c)与32(d)可以对应相同的速率匹配表格,如32(c)的表格,及表格可以与DMRS type对应,或DMRS图样中的端口组个数对应。该方法的好处是可以节省终端存储的开销。
如图33(a)~33(d)所示,其示意的是DMRS pattern的端口组使用状态。
对于每一个DMRS pattern,对应的DMRS指示信息的开销不同,例如:
对于图33(a)所示的支持4个正交端口的pattern而言,需要1bit指示RMI,当RM指示取值Value=0/00时,表示速率匹配RMI为1,即DMRS端口组1被占用;当Value=1/01时,表示速率匹配RMI=2,此时代表DMRS端口组1和2均被占用;
对于图33(b)所示的支持8个正交端口的pattern而言,需要1bit指示RM,当RM指示取值Value=0/00时,表示速率匹配RMI为1,此时DMRS端口组1被占用;当Value=1/10时,表示速率匹配RMI=2,此时表示DMRS端口组1和2均被占用;
可选的,33(a)与33(b)可以对应相同的速率匹配表格,如33(a)的速率匹配表格,此时表格可以与DMRS type对应,或DMRS图样中的端口组个数对应。该方法的好处是可以节省终端存储的开销。
对于图33(c)所示的支持6个正交端口的pattern而言,需要2bits指示RM,当RM指示取值Value=0/00时,表示速率匹配RMI为1,此时表示DMRS端口组1被占用;当Value=1/01时,表示速率匹配RMI=2,表示DMRS端口组1和2被占用;当Value=2/10时,表示速率匹配RMI=3,此时表示DMRS端口组1、2、3均被占用;当value=3/11时,表示速率匹配RMI=4,此时表示DMRS端口组2和3被占用;需要注意的是,对于RMI=4,具体实现时也可以预先定义为DMRS端口组1和3被占用的状态,或者可以为reserved。
对于图33(d)所示的支持12个正交端口的pattern而言,需要2bits指示RM,当RM指示取值Value=0/00时,表示速率匹配RMI为1,此时表示DMRS端口组1被占用;当Value=1/01时,表示速率匹配RMI=2,表示DMRS端口组1和2被占用;当Value=2/10时,表示速率匹配RMI=3,此时表示DMRS端口组1、2、3均被占用;当value=3/11时,表示速率匹配RMI=4,此时表示DMRS端口组2和3被占用;需要注意的是,对于RMI=4,具体实现时也可以预先定义为DMRS端口组1和3被占用的状态,或者可以为reserved。。
可选的,33(c)与33(d)可以对应相同的速率匹配表格,此时表格可以与DMRS type对应,或DMRS图样中的端口组个数对应。该方法的好处是可以节省终端存储的开销。
值得注意的是,该方案中的CDM组合仅为例子,在具体实施过程中,可以减少或增加,或者替换为其他的DMRS状态组合。
需要注意的,在实际的实施过程中,value可以直接对应端口组被占用的状态组合, 无需RMI的表示,比如对于图33(a),可以描述为表19-1。
表19-1
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000051
此外,可选的,可以在表格中加入SU的状态,比如表19-2。
表19-2
value description
0/00 SU或0层被占用
... ....
这里的0层主要用来通知终端当前为SU状态,并不限定具体的表达形式。
实施上述图30~33所示的实施例,针对每一种pattern,或一类DMRS配置(type)或具有相同端口组个数的DMRS pattern,设计对应的DMRS指示信息,可以满足NR系统中不同场景的需求,如用于极高可靠性极低时延通信(Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communication,URLLC)场景的pattern而不只是用于增强移动宽带(Enhanced Mobile Broadband,eMBB)的pattern,针对其他不同的pattern重新考虑表格的设计。
实施例七
DMRS配置信息和DMRS指示信息可以通过为RRC、MAC-CE、DCI的组合,进行分级指示,比如参数设置(parameter set)可以通过RRC进行配置,其中包含量化的正交传输层数信息或CDM组状态信息,用以作DMRS的速率匹配,通过DCI信令选择parameter set通知终端。以上的多种量化的正交传输层数方法均可放置于parameter set内,其中parameter set可以包括其他的信息,比如ZP-CSI-RS或者PDSCH的起始位置、结束位置等等。这里给出的表格仅为示例,具体的表格形式、大小、及描述形式不做限定。具体实现时,parameter set可以通过RRC进行配置,其中parameter set可以包含DMRS相关的速率匹配信息如表20所示。

实施例八
本实施例中,将总正交传输层数或总正交端口数(本文中总正交传输层数和总正交端口数两者在数值上相等)相关信息设计到DMRS配置信息表中,该总正交端口数 相关信息通过一个指示信息来体现,该指示信息可以指示实际可能出现的所有正交端口数,或者实际可能出现的所有正交端口数的量化值,所有正交端口数的量化值可以是DMRS正交层数信息,或者是DMRS天线正交端口集合指示信息,或者DMRS天线正交端口的CDM组信息,或者是依据CDM大小生成的信息。
针对如图34中的34(a),34(b),34(c)和34(d)四种pattern,相对于前述表1到表4中的DMRS配置信息表,本实施例中添加了总正交传输层数的指示信息这一特征,如图表21到表24所示的信息表中的total或total layer number一栏所示的即为总正交传输层数的指示信息。

本实施例考虑了所有可能出现的总正交传输层数,可以适配所有的场景,并且可以用于做MU适配的多个终端进行速率匹配。
本实施例在前述实施例提供的DMRS配置信息表的内容的基础上,添加了总正交传输层数这一特征,即为量化的层数信息,终端结合该信息,可以隐性获得RMI信息。
本实施例考虑了所有可能出现的总正交传输层数,可以适配所有的场景。其中的quantized layer num是对可能的正交传输层数的量化值,并且采用DMRS配置信息表中的DMRS指示信息(value)相同的值来进行指示;该DMRS配置信息表可以与LTE中的类似,例如,LTE中的天线端口数(Antenna ports),扰码指示(scrambling identity)和正交传输层数指示(number of layers indication),它还可以包含DMRS端口数、端口索引、序列生成信息、CDM类型中的至少一种,在此基础上,添加正交传输层数的量化值。该DMRS配置信息表可以同时保存在发射端和接收端上,发射端需要向接收端指示速率匹配方案的时候,只需要发送一个指示信息到接收端即可,接收端接收到该指示信息之后,以其作为索引,在DMRS配置信息表中查找对应的正交传输层数的量化值,同时获知DMRS层数信息,或者DMRS天线端口集合信息,或者也DMRS天线端口的码分复用CDM组信息等等,进而接收端识别出哪些资源单元是被用于本接收端的DMRS传输,哪些资源单元是用于CDM复用的其他接收端的DMRS传输,剩下的资源单元便是用于与本接收端相关的数据传输,因此,本接收端在相应的资源单元上进行数据解调。
另一种实现方式中,本申请实施例的指示信息指示非接收端自身使用的DMRS端口组状态。具体的,可以通过DCI来指示:
针对34(a)和34(b)所示的configration,通过如下表25进行指示:
表25
value MU Description
0   non-mute
1 MU all-mute
该表25可以根据协议配置在发射端和接收端,也可以由发射端通过RRC信令发送至接收端。
其中,与前述实施例不同的是,该表25中,value值对应的不再是正交传输层数的量化值,而是表示非接收端自身使用的DMRS端口组的状态,例如value=0的时候,表示不管是SU还是MU配对,非接收端自身使用的DMRS端口组的状态是非静默(non-mute),而value=1时,表示非接收端自身使用的DMRS端口组的状态是全部静默(all-mute)。接收端接收到该指示信息(value值)之后,即可判断出非自身使用的DMRS端口组的状态,从而完成速率匹配。需要说明的是,表25中MU一栏仅为示例,具体实现的时候可以没有。
针对34(c)和34(d)所示的configration,一种方式也是指示非自身使用的DMRS端口组是否被静默,如下表26所示,其中较大和较小的集合可以根据非接收端自身使用的端口组的相对关系进行确定,例如,对于3个端口组的场景,当终端使用1个端口组时,较大和较小的端口组可以根据剩余的2个端口组内的最大(或最小)端口号的相对关系(如大小)确定,具体实施中,可以不包含比较的过程,直接将较大和较小的端口组预存。
表26
value SU/MU Description
0 SU non-mute
1 MU mute smaller set
2 MU mute larger set
3 MU all-mute
另一种方式是,指示非自身使用的DMRS端口组具体是哪些,例如,当接收端使用端口组1时,value=0时,表示未被静默;value=1时,表示做MU配对的其他接收端使用的是端口组2;value=2时,表示做MU配对的其他接收端使用的是端口组3;value=3时,表示做MU配对的其他接收端使用的是端口组2和端口组3。具体实现中,可以不定义端口组的序号,通过端口组中的端口号来指示端口组,例如端口组2包含端口{5,6,7,8},则可以在表格中直接将端口组2替换为{5,6,7,8},具体如表27所示。
表27
value SU/MU Description
0 SU non-mute
1 MU 端口组2
2 MU 端口组3
3 MU 所有端口组or端口组2,端口组3
再一种方式是,通过RRC+DCI多级指示,方式如下:
DMRS的rate matching信息可以通过RRC+DCI多级指示,或者RRC+MAC CE+DCI多级指示
RRC可以配置多个包含DMRS rate matching参数集合,通过DCI信令动态选择
比如,RRC配置2个parameter set,1bit DCI信令动态进行选择,或者,RRC配置4个parameter set,2bits DCI信令进行动态选择,具体如表28-1和表28-2所示。

parameter set 中包含DMRS的rate matching信息,rate matching状态信息可以有多种表达形式,比如:
可以是上述方案中给出的4种状态,具体的为value值对应的0,1,2,3四种状态;
可以是每个CDM组是否被占用的状态信息,例如可以对CDM组进行编号,比如1、2、3DMRS CDM组;具体实现中,可以不存在对于CDM组编号的状态,可以通过指示CDM组中的端口号实现。
可以是ZP DMRS的具体位置,对应多个CDM组的位置(例如使用bitmap,对于config1 2bits,对于config2 3bits);
可以是rate matching pattern,直接表示DMRS symbol上的哪些RE需要被mute,此时没有CDM组概念。
另一种实现方式中,在DMRS配置信息表中用CDM组信息用来实现DMRS的速率匹配。
一种实现方式中RMI可以表示为CDM组的状态信息,比如8-1和8-2的“State of CDM group”一栏。下面针对具体的DMRS pattern作为示例,其中具体的DMRS port端口号仅为示例。对于不同的端口映射顺序(port mapping),下面实施例中的DMRS端口号(port index)可能发生改变,这里不做限定。
结合图34(图34中端口组即CDM端口组),对于表8-1对应的FL DMRS configuration type 1,状态1(State of CDM group=1)代表CDM端口组1(图34(a)和(b)中的斜划线部分)被占用;状态2代表CDM组1和2被占用(图34(a)和(b)中的斜划线和横线部分);
对于表格8-2对应的DMRS type 2,状态1对应CDM组1被占用(图34(c)和(d)中的斜划线部分),状态2代表CDM组1和2被占用(图34(c)和(d)中的 斜划线和横线部分),状态3代表CDM组1、2、3被占用(图34(c)和(d)中的斜划线和横线部分、竖线部分)。
上面仅给出了一种CDM组占用状态的示例,具体实施中每种状态可以替换成其他的CDM组被占用的状态。此外,具体实现时,表8-1和表8-2中具体指示的CDM组状态(如表中的State of CDM group=1、2、3)可以替换成被占用的CDM组编号(如CDM group 1),或者可以直接表示为CDM组内的全部端口号(如CDM group 1可以表示为端口号0、1或者0、1、4、6)或者占用的CDM组中的至少一个DMRS端口号(如CDM group 1可以表示为端口号0或者0、1)。此外,在表示为CDM组内的全部端口号方式中,表格8-1和表8-2中可以省略symbol number一栏,通过直接指示CDM组内全部的端口号隐性指示1符号或者2符号FL DMRS pattern,比如,对于1符号type1,CDM组1表示为0,1,对于2符号type1,CDM组1表示为0,1,4,6,接收端可以根据CDM组内的端口号隐性获得1符号或者2符号DMRS的信息。
另一种实现方式中,表格的RMI信息可以表示被占用的CDM组个数,即表8-1和8-2中的“State of CDM group”可以替换为‘number of CDM groups’或‘number of co-scheduled CDM groups’,具体文字表达不做限定。
表29-1给出了DMRS type 1对应的一种添加方法,‘number of co-scheduled CDM groups’表示type 1中1个或者2个CDM组被占用。一种实现方法中,CDM组个数可以依据一定调度顺序实现,如依据前述实施例中当前量化的正交端口层数获得。一种实现方法中,CDM组个数信息可以直接对应特定的CDM组序号,或基于一定调度规则。比如对于DMRS type 1,1个CDM组用可以对应CDM组1被占用,2个CDM组用可以理解为CDM组1和CDM组2被占用。对于DMRS type2,1个CDM组用可以对应CDM组1被占用,2个CDM组用可以理解为CDM组1和CDM组2被占用,3个CDM组可以理解为CDM组1、2、3被占用。另一种实现方法中,CDM组个数可以不与CDM组序号绑定,比如对于DMRS type 1,1个CDM组用表示系统中仅有一个CDM组使用,该CDM组可以为CDM组1或者CDM组2,接收端可以根据其具体DMRS端口号获得被占用的CDM组序号,2个CDM组则表示2个CDM组均被占用,接收端可能使用1个或者两个CDM组,若接收端使用CDM组2,那么可以推断CDM组1被其他接收端占用,从而进行速率匹配。

Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000060
此外,另一种实现方式中,表格中添加的CDM组个数,可以不包括接收端自身使用的CDM组个数,即表格中指示系统当前使用的且不包括接收端自身使用的CDM组的个数,或者可以理解为(系统中被占用的CDM组总个数-接收端使用的CDM组个数)。比如,对于Type1,当系统共2个CDM组被调用,接收端使用2个CDM组时,非接收端自身使用的CDM组个数为0;当系统共2个CDM组被调用,接收端使用1个CDM组,非接收端自身使用的CDM组个数为1个;当系统共1个CDM组被调用,接收端使用1个CDM组,非接收端使用的CDM组个数为0。该种方案中的CDM组个数可以替换为表D-1中的number of co-scheduled CDM groups。具体表格本领域研究人员可以根据上述原则直接推导得出表格。
此外,上述DMRS配置信息表格中还可以添加功率增加(power boosting)信息,如29-1中添加一列给出具体每个状态的power boosting数值,具体数值对于type 1可以是0db、3dB,对于type 2可以是0dB、1.77dB、4.77dB。在表格中,power boosting的具体数值可以直接根据当前状态占用的CDM组的个数和接收端port信息直接推断可得,power boosting value与状态具有一一对应关系。
具体原则为,对于DMRS type 1,当接收端使用占用1个CDM端口组,且系统当前仅有1个CDM端口组被占用时,power boosting数值为0dB;当接收端使用占用2个CDM端口组,且系统当前有2个CDM端口组被占用时,power boosting数值为0dB;当接收端使用占用1个CDM端口组,且系统当前有2个CDM端口组被占用时,power  boosting数值为3dB。表29-2中给出一个对应DMRS type 1的一个例子,具体port调用、symbol number不做限定。
表29-2 DMRS端口组合类型1示例
Figure PCTCN2018096201-appb-000061
对于DMRS type 2,当接收端使用占用1个CDM端口组,且系统当前仅有1个CDM端口组被占用时,power boosting数值为0dB;当接收端使用占用2个CDM端口组,且系统当前有2个CDM端口组被占用时,power boosting数值为0dB;当接收端使用占用1个CDM端口组,且系统当前有2个CDM端口组被占用时,power boosting数值为1.77dB;当接收端使用占用1个CDM端口组,且系统当前有3个CDM端口组被占用时,power boosting数值为4.77dB。这里限定MU时候一个接收端最多只能调用1个CDM组中的4个端口,即MU时,一个接收端最多仅能占用1个CDM组。表29-3中给出一个对应DMRS type 2的一个例子,具体port调用、symbol number不做限定。

实施例九
本实施例用于解决非相关联合传输(Non-coherent joint transmission,NC-JT 2PDCCH)场景下的DMRS rate matching问题。
如图35所示,在此Multi-TRP,NC-JT,2 PDCCH场景中支持12ports,TRP0使用{1,2,7,10};TRP1使用{3,4,5,6,8,9,11,12}
本实施例中提供一种解决方式是协议默认解决方案:TRP默认将非TRP自己可使用的一个或多个QCL组内的DMRS对应RE位置进行静默(mute)。例如,对于如图36所示的DMRS pattern,即两个DMRS端口组,则2个TRP将非自身使用的DMRS端口对应的时频资源位置静默,因此该方案可以直接解决,无需额外的信令指示。
另一种解决方式是独立指示方案如图37所示:TRP默认将非TRP自己可使用的一个或多个QCL组内的DMRS对应RE位置进行muting,此外,对于有多个端口组的TRP,其给UE发送RM信号,该速率匹配信令可以根据之前介绍的方案适用,需要注意的是,此时,速率匹配信令是根据当前TRP可使用的DMRS端口或可支持可支持最大层数或自身可使用的DMRS端口对应的DMRS图样进行生成。UE根据自己的 使用收到的速率匹配信令完成速率匹配,方案可以使用之前实施例中方案。这里仅以一种DMRS pattern举例,对于不同的DMRS pattern,可以使用相应的RM信令。
比如,对于图37,TRP0仅能使用DMRS端口组1,TRP1可以使用DMRS端口组2和3,此时,TRP0将DMRS端口组2和3对应时频资源静默,TRP1将DMRS端口组1对应时频资源静默,此外,终端会收到TRP1的速率匹配信令,该信令指示端口组2和3共的量化正交传输层数,即TRP1可使用的DMRS端口的量化正交传输层数,此时TRP0可以没有速率匹配信令,或者速率匹配信令可以发送代表SU的状态。终端接收TRP1的速率匹配信令,完成速率匹配,解调TRP1发送的数据。
需要说明的是,本实施例也可以采用指示信息指示非接收端本身使用的DMRS端口组的方式,例如对于TRP0进入NC-JT模式时,无需信令指示,或者使用原始信令指示,而对于TRP1,通过下表进行指示,当value=0的时候,表示非自身使用的DMRS端口组未被静默,而value=1时,非自身使用的DMRS端口组都被静默,具体如表30所示。

本实施例中提供一种解决方式是协议默认解决方案:TRP默认将非TRP自己可使用的一个或多个QCL组内的DMRS对应RE位置进行静默(mute)。例如,对于如图39所示的DMRS pattern,即两个DMRS端口组,TRP0和TRP1各使用一个DMRS端口组,并将非自己使用的DMRS端口组对应的时频资源位置静默,因此,该方案可以直接解决,无需额外的信令指示。
另一种解决方式是独立指示方案如图40所示:TRP默认将非TRP自己可使用的一个或多个QCL组内的DMRS对应RE位置进行muting,此外,对于有多个端口组的TRP,其给UE发送RM信号,该速率匹配信令可以根据之前介绍的方案适用,需要注意的是,此时,速率匹配信令可以根据当前TRP可使用的DMRS端口或可使用的DMRS端口对应的DMRS图样进行生成。UE根据自己的使用收到的速率匹配信令完成速率匹配,方案可以使用之前实施例中方案。这里仅与一种DMRS pattern举例,对于不同的DMRS pattern,可以使用相应的RM信令。
比如,对于图40,TRP0仅能使用DMRS端口组1,TRP1可以使用DMRS端口组2和3,此时,TRP0将DMRS端口组2和3位置静默,TRP1将DMRS端口组1位置静默,此外,终端会收到TRP1的速率匹配信令,该信令指示DMRS端口组2和3的量化正交传输层数,即TRP1的量化正交传输层数,此时TRP0可以没有速率匹配信令,或者速率匹配信令可以发送代表SU的状态。终端接收TRP1的速率匹配信令,完成速率匹配,解调TRP1发送的数据。
需要说明的是,本实施例也可以采用指示信息指示非接收端本身使用的DMRS端口组的方式,例如对于TRP0进入NC-JT模式时,无需信令指示,或者使用原始信令指示,而对于TRP1,通过下表进行指示,当value=1的时候,非自身使用的DMRS端口组未被静默,而value=1时,非自身使用的DMRS端口组都被静默,具体如表31所示:

总体来说,本发明实施例提供了一种数据发送方法,所述方法用于通过多个解调参考信号DMRS端口向一个接收端设备发送多个数据流,其中所述多个DMRS端口分属至少两个端口组,每个端口组中的各个DMRS端口之间满足准共址QCL关系,每个端口组中的任一DMRS端口与任一其他端口组中的任一DMRS端口满足非准共址Non-QCL关系,对于每个端口组,所述方法包括:
将一个码字映射为所述多个DMRS端口中处于该端口组中的DMRS端口所对应的数据流;
将所述数据流发送给所述接收端设备。
在一种可能的设计中,所述方法还包括,向所述接收端设备发送一指示信息,所述指示信息用于指示为所述接收端设备分配的所述多个DMRS端口。
在一种可能的设计中,所述多个数据流的数量小于等于4。
在一种可能的设计中,上述多个DMRS端口可以分配给同一发射端设备;也可以分配给同一发射端设备的多块天线面板,其中每块天线面板分配到的DMRS端口属于同一端口组;也可以分配给为为同一接收端设备服务(例如基于CoMP(Coordinated Multi-Point,多点协作)相关技术)的多个发射端设备,每个发射端设备分配到的DMRS端口属于同一端口组。此外,上述DMRS端口也可以采用其他方式分配给一个或者多个发射端设备,例如但不限于上述几种方式的各种可行的组合方式。
相应的,本发明实施例还提供了一种数据接收方法,包括:
通过多个DMRS端口接收多个数据流,其中,所述多个DMRS端口属于同一端口组,或者分属至少两个端口组,每个端口组中的各个DMRS端口之间满足准共址QCL关系,每个端口组中的任一DMRS端口与任一其他端口组中的任一DMRS端口满足非准共址Non-QCL关系;
对于所述同一端口组或者至少两个端口组中的每个端口组,接收端设备根据所述多个DMRS端口中处于该端口组中的DMRS端口所对应的数据流,恢复出一个码字。
在一种可能的设计中,在接收所述多个数据流之前,所述方法还包括:
接收一指示信息,所述指示信息用于指示所述多个DMRS端口。
其中,所述多个数据流的数量小于等于4。
不难理解,在接收端设备一侧,接收端设备可以无需关注上述多个DMRS端口来自一个发射端设备,还是来自一个发射端设备的多块天线面板,还是来自多个发射端设备。
QCL(Quasi-Co-Location,准共址)通常用于描述相似的大尺度衰落,以及相似的空间方向(例如但不限于波束方向)等,因此非准共址(Non-Quasi-Co-Location,Non-QCL)通常用于描述不同的大尺度衰落,以及不同的空间方向等。有关QCL和Non-QCL的相关内容已经在现有技术中进行了清楚的描述,因此此处不再赘述。
在实际传输中,信息比特(bit)通常是以传输块(Transport Block,TB)的形式进行划分的,而一个传输块可以是一个码字(codeword,CW),有关TB和CW的内容可以参考现有技术
通常,可以将系统支持的DMRS端口划分为多个端口组,每个端口组中的各个DMRS端口之间满足QCL关系,每个端口组中的任一DMRS端口与任一其他端口组中的任一DMRS端口满足Non-QCL关系。当多个发射端设备为同一接收端设备服务时,为每个发射端设备分配的DMRS端口来自同一端口组。例如,可以将DMRS端口0~9划分为2个端口组,分别为端口组1和端口组2,其中DMRS端口0~4属于端口组1,DMRS端口5~9属于端口组2。在为发射端设备分配DMRS端口时,可以将端口组1中的任意数量的DMRS端口分配给发射端设备,也可以将端口组2中的任意数量的DMRS端口分配给发射端设备。此外,无论是多个发射端设备为同一接收端设备服务,还是单个发射端设备为该接收端设备服务,为同一个发射端设备分配的DMRS 端口,可以来自相同的端口组,也可以来自不同的端口组。例如,当来自相同的端口组时,可以将上述端口组1中的端口1和端口2分配给该发射端设备;当来自不同的端口组时,可以将上述端口组1中的端口2~3和上述端口组2中的端口8~9分配给该发射端设备。不难理解,当为同一发射端设备分配的DMRS端口来自不同的端口组时,该发射端设备通过不同端口组中的DMRS端口进行的无线传输将具有Non-QCL特性,例如具有不同的大尺度衰落,或者指向不同的空间方向。当为同一发射端设备分配的DMRS端口来自相同的端口组时,该发射端设备通过该相同的端口组中的DMRS端口进行的无线传输将具有QCL特性,例如具有相似的大尺度衰落,或者指向相似的空间方向。
上述将DMRS端口划分为多个端口组的相关内容可以参考现有技术,例如,可以在发射端设备和接收端设备出厂之前,预先在这些设备内设置,也可以由发射端设备将DMRS端口的分组情况提前通知给接收端设备,例如但不限于发射端设备通过RRC(Radio Resource Control,无线资源控制)消息,在例如但不限于接收端设备接入通信网络,或者定期的,通知给接收端设备。在将DMRS端口划分为多个端口组的情况下,可以依照分组情况和具体需要(例如各种应用场景,如CoMP)为发射端设备分配DMRS端口。
多个发射端设备可以为多个发射端设备,也可以为一个同一发射端设备的多块天线面板。上述发射端设备可以是例如但不限于基站。上述接收端设备可以是例如但不限于终端。
码字到数据流的映射过程,以及从数据流恢复出码字的过程,可以参考现有技术。
当多个发射端设备同时为一个接收端设备服务时,上述指示信息可以由多个发射端设备中的一个发射端设备来发送,在这种情况下,发送上述指示信息的发射端设备可以称为服务设备,其他发射端设备可以称为协作设备。
上述数据流又可以称为数据层,其通常可通过对码字进行层映射来获得,具体过程可以参考现有技术。
上述方法中的步骤可以通过一个或者多个处理器来执行,有可以通过一个或者多个处理器执行程序来执行。
上述发射端设备和接收端设备中的各个模块的功能可以集成在一个或者多个处理器上来执行,也可以通过一个或者多个处理器执行程序来执行。
在上述实施例中,可以全部或部分地通过软件、硬件、固件或者其任意组合来实现。当使用软件程序实现时,可以全部或部分地以计算机程序产品的形式来实现。该计算机程序产品包括一个或多个计算机指令。在计算机上加载和执行计算机程序指令时,全部或部分地产生按照本申请实施例所述的流程或功能。所述计算机可以是通用计算机、专用计算机、计算机网络、或者其他可编程装置。所述计算机指令可以存储在计算机可读存储介质中,或者从一个计算机可读存储介质向另一个计算机可读存储介质传输,例如,所述计算机指令可以从一个网站站点、计算机、服务器或者数据中心通过有线(例如同轴电缆、光纤、数字用户线(digital subscriber line,DSL))或无线(例如红外、无线、微波等)方式向另一个网站站点、计算机、服务器或数据中心进行传输。所述计算机可读存储介质可以是计算机能够存取的任何可用介质或者是 包含一个或多个可以用介质集成的服务器、数据中心等数据存储设备。所述可用介质可以是磁性介质(例如,软盘、硬盘、磁带),光介质(例如,DVD)、或者半导体介质(例如固态硬盘(solid state disk,SSD))等。
