Description

Method, terminal and network device for determining uplink transmission resources

This application claims the priority of the Chinese Patent Application entitled "Methods for Determining Uplink Transmission Resources, Terminals and Network Equipment" submitted to the China Patent Office on August 11, 2017, application number: 201710687634.2, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference. In this application.

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method, a terminal, and a network device for determining an uplink transmission resource.

Background technique

Mobile communication technology has profoundly changed people's lives, but the pursuit of higher performance mobile communication technology has never stopped. In order to cope with the explosive growth of mobile data traffic in the future, the connection of devices for mass mobile communication, and the emerging new services and application scenarios, the fifth generation (5G) mobile communication system emerged. The international telecommunication union (ITU) defines three types of application scenarios for 5G and future mobile communication systems: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), high reliable low latency communication (ultra reliable and low latency). Communications, URLLC) and massive machine type communications (mMTC).

The URLLC service requires extremely high latency. The transmission delay is required to be within 0.5 milliseconds (millisecond, ms) without considering reliability. Under the premise of 99.999% reliability, the transmission delay is required to be within 1 ms. . In a long term evolution (LTE) system, the smallest time scheduling unit is a transmission time interval (TTI) of 1 ms duration. In order to meet the transmission delay requirement of the URLLC service, the air interface data transmission can use a shorter time scheduling unit, for example, using a mini-slot. Wherein, a mini-slot includes one or more symbols (also referred to as time domain symbols), where the symbols may be orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. For a slot with a subcarrier spacing of 15 kilohertz (kHz), the length of time is 0.5 ms, which may include 6 or 7 symbols.

For the URLLC service, the location of the downlink transmission resource for downlink data transmission and the location of the uplink transmission resource for uplink control signaling transmission are flexible. Moreover, the range of the location of these uplink and downlink transmission resources is relatively large. If the location of the uplink transmission resource is to be accurately indicated, more bits need to be occupied, thereby affecting the reception reliability of downlink control information (DCI). The location of the uplink transmission resource for performing uplink control signaling transmission may be timing information of uplink control signaling. If the timing information of the uplink control signaling is given during the downlink data transmission, the flexible allocation of the next uplink and downlink resources is inevitably limited, which may affect the flexibility of uplink and downlink resource configuration.

Detailed ways

As shown in FIG. 1, the mobile communication system includes a core network device, a radio access network device, and at least one terminal (such as terminal 1 and terminal 2 in FIG. 1). The terminal is connected to the wireless access network device by means of a wireless connection, and the wireless access network device is connected to the core network device by wireless or wired. The core network device and the wireless access network device may be independent physical devices, or may integrate the functions of the core network device with the logical functions of the wireless access network device on the same physical device, or may be a physical device. The functions of some core network devices and the functions of some wireless access network devices are integrated. The terminal can be fixed or mobile. FIG. 1 is only a schematic diagram, and the network system may further include other network devices, such as a wireless relay device and a wireless backhaul device. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of core network devices, radio access network devices, and terminals included in the mobile communication system.

The radio access network device is an access device that the terminal accesses to the mobile communication system by using a wireless method, and may be a base station, an evolved base station, a base station in a 5G mobile communication system, a base station in a future mobile communication system, or a WiFi system. Access nodes, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific technologies and specific device modes adopted by the radio access network device.

A terminal may also be called a terminal device, a user equipment (UE), a mobile station (MS), a mobile terminal (MT), or the like. The terminal can be a mobile phone, a tablet, a computer with wireless transceiver function, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, industrial control (industrial control) Wireless terminal, wireless terminal in self driving, wireless terminal in remote medical surgery, wireless terminal in smart grid, wireless terminal in transportation safety Wireless terminals in smart cities, wireless terminals in smart homes, and so on.

Radio access network equipment and terminals can be deployed on land, indoors or outdoors, hand-held or on-board; they can also be deployed on the water; they can also be deployed on aircraft, balloons and satellites in the air. The application scenarios of the radio access network device and the terminal are not limited.

In the present application, a core network device and a radio access network device are collectively referred to as a network device.

In the URLLC scenario, the uplink and downlink transmission resources are flexible and configurable. Therefore, it is necessary to design a determination scheme of an uplink transmission resource that can satisfy the URLLC requirement. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application proposes a method for determining an uplink transmission resource. This method can be used for URLLC scenarios. Specifically, in the downlink transmission process of the URLLC, configuration signaling is sent. The terminal determines, according to the configuration signaling, a starting location of the uplink transmission resource, and further determines an uplink transmission resource according to the number of symbols occupied by the uplink transmission. Further, the starting position of the uplink transmission resource refers to a starting symbol of the uplink transmission resource. The finally determined uplink transmission resource refers to a time resource for performing uplink transmission, for example, a symbol for performing uplink transmission.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a method for determining an uplink transmission resource according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes the following steps.

Step 201: The terminal receives, from the network device, signaling that carries symbol interval information, where the symbol interval information is used to indicate the number of symbols of the terminal from the end of the downlink transmission to the start of the uplink transmission.

The number of symbols indicated by the symbol interval information can be represented by N. Fig. 3a is a schematic diagram showing the meaning of the symbol interval information N. As shown in FIG. 3a, k indicates that the last symbol of the downlink transmission of the terminal is the kth symbol, and k+N indicates that the first symbol for performing the uplink transmission is the k+Nth symbol. N symbols are separated between the kth symbol and the k+Nth symbol. These N symbols are the symbols of the interval between the end of the downlink transmission and the start of the uplink transmission.

The symbol interval information can be sent to the terminal through high layer signaling. For example, it can be sent to the terminal through RRC signaling or MAC signaling. The symbol interval information can be sent to the terminal through physical layer signaling. For example, it can be sent to the terminal through DCI.

Further, the unit of N may be a mini-slot or a slot in addition to the symbol. That is, the symbol interval information may be used to indicate the number of mini-slots or slots of the terminal from the end of the downlink transmission to the start of the uplink transmission. Specifically, the meaning of N is slightly different depending on the unit of N. When the unit of N is a symbol, then N means that if the downlink transmission is the end symbol of the kth symbol, the uplink transmission can start transmission at the k+Nth symbol. When the unit of N is a mini-slot or a slot, then N indicates that if the downlink transmission is performed on the kth mini-slot or slot, the uplink transmission can be performed on the k+N mini-slot or slot.

The network device can determine N according to the capabilities of the terminal. Specifically, the terminal can report its own capabilities first. The capability of the terminal herein refers to the demodulation and decoding capability of the terminal. The terminal can be used to quantize the demodulation and decoding capability of the terminal from the time interval between receiving the downlink data and the uplink transmission. For example, the interval time can be characterized by the number of spaced time slots or the number of spaced symbols.

The embodiment of the present application describes an embodiment of the present application by taking the unit of N as a symbol. The unit of N is a mini-slot or a slot, which can be similarly obtained, and will not be described here.

Step 202: The terminal receives, from the network device, signaling that carries the first slot format information, where the first slot format information is used to indicate a symbol that allows uplink transmission in the first slot.

The first slot format information may be slot format related information (SFI) of the first slot. SFI can be dynamically sent through DCI. The SFI includes the downlink symbol in the first slot, the guard interval GP (Guard Period), the number of uplink symbols, and the location. Wherein, the downlink symbol indicates a symbol for downlink transmission in the first slot, and the uplink symbol indicates a symbol for uplink transmission in the first slot. That is to say, the first slot format information indicates the distribution of symbols for uplink transmission and the symbols for downlink transmission in the first slot. This distribution is applicable to all terminals under the network device. Based on the first slot format information, it may be determined which symbols in the first slot are symbols for uplink transmission. Therefore, the terminal can only select some or all of the symbols for uplink transmission in those symbols that can be used for uplink transmission.

The terminal may determine the first uplink transmission resource of the terminal according to the symbol interval information and the first slot interval information. For example, the terminal searches for the Nth symbol after the end of the downlink transmission, and finds the first symbol that can be uplinked by the user in the first time slot, and the symbols that can be used for uplink transmission after the symbol can be It is considered to be the first uplink transmission resource. The terminal may perform uplink transmission on the first uplink transmission resource.

FIG. 3b is a schematic diagram of a slot format provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 3b, the figure includes two time slots (slot1 and slot2). Each of the time slots includes 7 symbols. Each symbol of each time slot has a corresponding number above it. A symbol with a horizontal line as a padding indicates that it is a down symbol, and a symbol with a padded pad indicates that it is an up symbol. Unfilled symbols (such as the fifth symbol in slot 1) indicate that it is the guard interval between upstream transmissions. For example, the first to fourth symbols in slot 1 shown in FIG. 3b are downlink symbols and can be used for downlink transmission. The 6-7th symbols in slot1 are uplink symbols and can be used for uplink transmission. Of course, the configuration of the uplink and downlink symbols of each time slot may be arbitrary, and the number of time slots may be more, which is not limited in this application. The slot format similar to that shown in FIG. 3b will be described below as an example, but the configuration of the uplink and downlink symbols of each slot may be slightly different. However, the meanings of the related graphic representations can be similarly obtained, so they will not be described one by one.

In addition, the downlink transmission end position of the terminal is not necessarily the last downlink symbol of one slot. For example, in the scenario of FIG. 3b, the terminal performs downlink transmission on the 2-3th symbol of slot 1. The location where the downlink transmission ends of the terminal is the third symbol of slot 1. When N is 4, the starting symbol of the first uplink transmission resource of the terminal is the 7th symbol of slot1. Because the seventh symbol of slot 1 is followed by an uplink symbol, it can be used for uplink transmission of the terminal. Therefore, the first uplink transmission resource determined by the terminal may be the 7th symbol of slot 1 to the 7th symbol of slot 2.

Step 203: The terminal receives, from the network device, signaling that carries the symbol quantity information, where the symbol quantity information is used to indicate the number of symbols occupied by the terminal for uplink transmission.

The symbol quantity information may be sent by the network device to the terminal through a high layer signaling configuration. Using the symbol quantity information, the first uplink transmission resource determined by step 204 can be used. It is possible to determine which symbols are used by the terminal for uplink transmission.

Step 204: The terminal determines the first uplink transmission resource of the terminal according to the symbol interval information, the first slot format information, and the symbol quantity information.

Specifically, by N and SFI, a start symbol used to start searching for an uplink transmission resource can be determined. Then, according to the number M of symbols indicated by the symbol quantity information, M symbols (including the start symbol) after the start symbol are determined as the first uplink transmission resource. If the start symbol is the first symbol and there are no consecutive M uplink symbols, the search is continued until the consecutive M uplink symbols are found as the first uplink transmission symbol.

When M is greater than 1, some special restrictions on the uplink transmission resources need to be considered. For example, in some systems, uplink transmission resources cannot cross slots. When M is greater than 1, there may be a case where the determined first uplink transmission resource spans the slot. This requires special handling, such as continuing to look backwards until it finds that the non-slot is an upstream transmission resource. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a method for determining an uplink transmission resource according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, the 3-4th symbol of slot 1 is used for downlink transmission of the terminal, and the location where the downlink transmission of the terminal ends is the fourth symbol. Let N be equal to 3 and M be greater than 1 (such as 2). The first available uplink transmission resource that is determined to be determined is the seventh symbol of slot 1 and the first symbol of slot 2. Then the determined uplink transmission resources span slot1 and slot2. The uplink transmission resources determined at this time are not satisfactory. Therefore, it is necessary to start backward search from the next symbol of the start symbol of the determined uplink transmission resource for the first time. The search starts from the next symbol of the seventh symbol of slot 1 (the first symbol of slot 2). The first uplink resource that satisfies SFI, N, and M can be used as the first uplink transmission resource of the terminal. For example, if the first 1-2 symbols of slot 2 shown in the lower half of FIG. 4 satisfy SFI, N, and M, the 1-2th symbol of slot 2 is determined as the first uplink transmission resource. At this time, the terminal may perform uplink transmission on the first uplink transmission resource.

In addition, the starting position of the uplink transmission may not be arbitrary. For example, you can only start with some special symbols. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a method for determining an uplink transmission resource according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, the 1-2th symbol of slot 1 is used for downlink transmission of the terminal. The last four symbols of slot1 are the upstream symbols. If the four symbols can only be used in two groups, the condition is not satisfied when the starting symbol of the determined uplink transmission resource is the fifth symbol. It is still necessary to start looking backwards from the determined uplink transmission resources. The first uplink resource that satisfies SFI, N, and M can be used as the first uplink transmission resource, for example, the sixth to seventh symbols of slot 1 shown in the lower half of FIG.

Step 205: The network device determines, according to the symbol interval information, the first slot format information, and the symbol quantity information, the first uplink transmission resource of the terminal.

The network device also needs to know the resources for the uplink transmission of the terminal, so that the network device can receive the data transmitted by the terminal on the corresponding resource. Therefore, the network device determines that the first uplink transmission resource of the terminal is the same as or similar to that of the terminal in step 205, and details are not described herein again. The following description will be made by taking FIG. 6 as an example.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a method for determining an uplink transmission resource according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, the terminal performs downlink transmission on the 3-4th symbol of slot 1. The location where the downlink transmission ends of the terminal is the fourth symbol of slot 1. In the case where the number of symbols occupied by the uplink transmission is 2, the search is started at the position indicated by N equal to 3. As shown in the upper part of Fig. 6, there is not enough symbol for the uplink transmission after the first position of the search, that is, there is not enough uplink symbol after the 7th symbol of slot1. Therefore, you can only continue to look backwards, and always find the last two symbols of the next slot to meet the condition, that is, the 6-7th symbol of slot 2 shown in the lower part of Figure 6. Therefore, these two symbols can be used as the first uplink transmission resource of the terminal.

The first uplink transmission resource is located in the first time slot when the requirement of not spanning the time slot is met. That is to say, the network device or the terminal may have searched for one or more time slots before finding the first time slot, but first finds uplink transmission resources satisfying SFI, N and M in the first time slot. Of course, the network device or the terminal needs to know the SFI of the previous one or more time slots. For example, slot 2 in Figure 6 can be considered as the first time slot.

Step 206: The terminal receives, from the network device, signaling that carries the offset information, where the offset information is used to indicate the number of symbols that the terminal offsets the first uplink transmission resource.

The offset information can be represented by one or more bits. For example, add 1bit to DCI. 0 means no offset, 1 means offset by n symbols. The value of n is a positive integer.

Step 207: The terminal receives, from the network device, signaling that carries the second slot format information, where the second slot format information is used to indicate a symbol that allows uplink transmission in the second slot.

The second slot format information is similar to the physical meaning of the first slot format information, and may be determined by referring to the above, and details are not described herein again.

Step 208: The terminal determines the second uplink transmission resource of the terminal according to the offset information, the first uplink transmission resource, and the second slot format information.

The terminal continues to search for uplink transmission resources satisfying N, SFI, and M after offsetting n symbols based on the first uplink transmission resource determined by the foregoing steps. Specifically, starting from the symbol after the n symbols of the first uplink transmission resource is offset, the uplink transmission resources satisfying SFI, N, and M are searched for. The first uplink transmission resource found is used as the second uplink transmission resource. In the process of searching, the uplink transmission resources satisfying SFI, N and M can be found up to the second time slot. Therefore, the terminal needs to know the second slot format information. If the uplink transmission resources satisfying SFI, N and M can also be found in the first time slot, step 207 can be omitted.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a method for determining an uplink transmission resource according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7 , the first time slot indicated by the first time slot format information may be slot 1 , and the second time slot indicated by the second time slot format information may be slot 2 . Let N be equal to 2 and M equal to 2. The terminal may determine that the sixth to seventh symbols of slot 1 are the first uplink transmission resources. When the terminal receives the offset information, and the offset information indicates that the terminal is offset by one symbol, the terminal can find the 6th-7th symbol of slot2 as the second uplink transmission resource by the manner described above. When a plurality of terminals determine the first uplink transmission resource as the 6th to 7th symbols of slot 1, the uplink transmission resource of the part of the terminal may be offset to other locations by sending offset information to some terminals. The purpose of resource balance.

Step 209: The network device determines, according to the offset information, the first uplink transmission resource, and the second slot format information, a second uplink transmission resource of the terminal.

The network device determines that the second uplink transmission resource of the terminal is the same as or similar to that of the terminal in step 208, and details are not described herein again.

Step 210: The terminal performs uplink transmission on the second uplink transmission resource.

Of course, the steps 206-209 can be omitted. At this time, the terminal performs uplink transmission on the first uplink transmission resource.

In the process of determining, by the foregoing method, the first uplink transmission resource or the second uplink transmission resource, the terminal may further receive signaling carrying the threshold information from the network device. The threshold information is used to indicate the maximum number of symbols of the terminal from the end of the downlink transmission to the start of the uplink transmission. When the uplink transmission resource is used for the terminal to feed back ACK/NACK, the threshold information is used to indicate that the terminal receives the maximum number of symbols between the downlink data and the feedback ACK/NACK. Through the indication of the threshold information, the terminal can be configured to not need to feed back ACK/NACK when the uplink transmission resource that has not been available before the threshold is exceeded. Further, a threshold mode may be introduced, and the RRC configuration turns the threshold mode on or off. You can also increase the infinity in an optional set of thresholds. If the RRC configuration threshold is infinite, it is equivalent to the network device requiring the terminal to always look up resources until it finds an uplink transmission resource that can be used for reporting ACK/NACK.

Further, the network device can configure the terminal with a set indicated by symbol interval information. That is to say, the network device does not send N to the terminal, but configures a set {N ₀ , N ₁ , N ₂ ..., N _(M-1) }, M>=1. Let N ₀ <N ₁ <N ₂ <...<N _(M-1) . The physical meaning of each element in the set is the same or similar to the physical meaning of N. For example, Nx can be interpreted as the last symbol of the downlink transmission is the kth symbol (which may also be a slot or a mini-slot), and the ACK/NACK is fed back at the k+Nx symbols. Of course, you can also select an element from the set as N. That is to say, the number of symbols of the interval indicated by the symbol interval information is one of a preset number of sets of symbols. The minimum value N0 of this set is configured to take into account the demodulation and decoding capabilities of the terminal. The remaining Nx values may be determined by the base station according to factors such as the load of the cell and the service requirements of the user (such as delay, reliability requirements, etc.). There is no fixed relationship between multiple Nx.

When the set is configured, the network device and the terminal may perform the second search by using N1 as N, and then analogously, if the available uplink transmission resource is not found after the first search is performed by using N0 as N. Until the available upstream transmission resources are found. Of course, in this case, the threshold information can also be used to terminate the search for the uplink transmission resource.

For example, the terminal determines whether k+Nx is a symbol that can be used for uplink transmission. The terminal can be obtained through SFI. If the k+Nxth symbol is a symbol that can be used for uplink transmission, and the symbol that can be used for uplink transmission after the k+Nxth symbol satisfies the number of symbols to be uplink transmitted, the terminal feeds back ACK/NACK at k+Nx. ;

If the k+Nxth symbol is not a symbol that can be used for uplink transmission, or the symbol that can be used for uplink transmission after the k+Nxth symbol does not satisfy the number of symbols to be uplinked, the terminal is at the k+N (x) +1) symbols repeat the above process. .

The terminal sequentially performs the above-mentioned attempts in order according to the set {N ₀ , N ₁ , N ₂ ..., N _(M-1) }. If after trying all the elements in the set {N ₀ , N ₁ , N ₂ ..., N _(M-1) }, the uplink transmission resource is still not determined, the terminal gives up this feedback.

The information carried by the high-layer signaling/physical layer signaling enables the terminal to find the uplink transmission resource in a flexible environment where the uplink and downlink resources are variable. In this embodiment, the flexibility of the network device for resource allocation is ensured without increasing the physical layer control signaling overhead.
