Description

信息发送方法以及相关设备
本申请要求于2017年08月11日提交中国专利局、申请号为201710690657.9、申请名称为《信息发送方法以及相关设备》的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种信息发送方法以及相关设备。
背景技术
先听后发(Listen-Before-Talk,LBT)技术是非授权频段(Unlicensed Frequency Bands,UFB)接入技术中的重要一环。LBT技术就是:在进行数据传输之前,终端设备必须先对载波进行信道侦听以确定是否有其他的设备正在占用载波进行数据传输。如果终端设备对载波的侦听成功,则终端设备可以抢占载波进行数据传输,如果终端设备对载波的侦听不成功,终端设备不可以抢占载波进行数据传输。在占用载波后,终端设备可以在最大信道占用时间(Maximum Channel Occupancy Time,MCOT)内持续发送信息。在超过最大信道占用时间之后,终端设备需要主动释放载波以提供给其他设备进行使用。释放信道之后,终端设备需要重新执行LBT才能再次接入载波。LBT技术能够保证共享非授权频段的多个设备之间能够友好共存,减少多个设备之间因为抢占非授权频段的频谱资源而发生冲突的概率。
但是,现时的LBT技术的侦听效率并不高,特别是在通信系统比较繁忙时,大量的设备对信道进行抢占,设备之间发生冲突的概率会大大增加,导致终端设备的侦听效率进一步降低,终端设备需要较长时间才能接入信道以进行数据传输。

具体实施方式
为了便于理解本发明实施例,首先介绍本发明实施例涉及的信道侦听的侦听类型。在申请实施例中,信道侦听的侦听类型可以包括:长侦听类型的信道侦听以及短侦听类型的信道侦听。
长侦听类型的信道侦听通常是指从开始进行信道侦听至信道侦听成功耗时较长的信道侦听。在一具体的实施例中,长侦听类型的信道侦听可以是随机回退(Random Backoff)空闲信道评测(CCA,Clear Channel Assessment)。随机回退空闲信道评测的原理为:终端 设备在0~初始竞争窗口(CWS)之间均匀随机生成一个回退计数器N,并且以侦听时隙(例如时长为9us)为粒度对载波进行信道侦听,如果侦听时隙内检测到信道空闲,则将回退计数器减一,反之,如果侦听时隙内检测到信道忙碌,则将回退计数器挂起,即,回退计数器N在信道忙碌时间内保持不变,直到检测到信道空闲时,才重新对回退计数器进行计数。当回退计数器归零时,则认为信道侦听成功,终端设备可以立即占用该信道发送上行信息。另外,终端设备也可以在回退计数器归零后,不立即发送上行信息而自行等待一段时间,等待结束后,在需要发送上行信息的时刻之前再在一个额外的时隙侦听一次,若该额外的时隙内侦听到信道空闲则认为信道侦听成功,可以立即发送信息。若在该上行信息之前未完成回退计数器归零,或者该额外的侦听时隙为忙碌,则称信道侦听失败。可以理解,上述的例子只是作为一种举例,在其他的实施方式中,长侦听类型的信道侦听还可以是其他耗时较长的信道侦听,此处不作具体限定。
短侦听类型的信道侦听通常是指从开始进行信道侦听至信道侦听成功耗时较短的信道侦听。在一具体的实施例中,短侦听类型的信道侦听可以是单时隙空闲信道评测或者称之为单次(One shot)空闲信道评测。单时隙空闲信道评测的原理为:终端设备执行一次长度为预设时间长度(例如预设时间长度为25us)的单时隙的信道侦听,如果终端设备在该单时隙内检测到信道空闲,则认为信道侦听成功,终端设备可以立即接入信道发送上行信息;如果检测到信道忙碌,终端设备放弃发送上行信息,称信道侦听失败。可以理解,不限于上述空闲信道评测方式,短侦听类型的信道侦听还可以是其他能够快速对载波进行侦听的信道侦听,这里不做限制。并且,信道侦听的侦听时长也不限于为25us,也可以是更多或者更少的时长;信道侦听的次数也不限于为1次,也可以是2次,3次或者更多,此处不作具体限定。
在本申请实施例中,信道状态包括两种:信道空闲、信道忙碌。信道状态的判断准则为:终端设备将侦听时隙内的接收到载波上的功率与能量检测门限(CCA-ED,CCA-Energy Detection)比较,如果高于能量检测门限,则信道状态为信道忙碌,如果低于能量检测门限,则信道状态为信道空闲。
不难理解,长侦听类型的信道侦听需要在多个侦听时隙的信道侦听结果均为信道空闲时,信道侦听才会被认为是成功,而短侦听类型的信道侦听只要在单时隙的信道侦听结果为信道空闲时,信道侦听就能被认为是成功,所以,长侦听类型的信道侦听的侦听结果的可靠性大于短侦听类型的信道侦听的侦听结果的可靠性,但是,长侦听类型的信道侦听的侦听成功率小于短侦听类型的信道侦听的侦听成功率。
在终端设备利用载波向网络设备发送上行信息之前,终端设备可能采用长侦听类型的信道侦听对载波进行信道侦听,也可能采用短侦听类型的信道侦听对载波进行信道侦听。下面将详细介绍终端设备采用不同类型的信道侦听对载波进行侦听的原因。终端设备在利用载波向网络设备发送上行信息之前,一般需要对载波执行长侦听类型的信道侦听,以确保侦听结果的可靠性。但是,在特殊的情况下,终端设备也可以在利用载波向网络设备发送上行信息之前,执行短侦听类型的信道侦听。例如,如果网络设备在抢占载波之后发送的下行信息未占满最大信道占用时间,则网络设备可以不释放信道,而是将剩余的最大信 道占用时间提供给终端设备发送上行信息,以提高终端设备接入载波的机会。例如,最大信道占用时间为8毫秒,网络设备发送下行信息占用的时间为2毫秒,则网络设备可以将剩余的6毫秒共享给终端设备使用,即指示终端设备在剩余的6毫秒上发送上行信息之前可以使用短侦听类型的信道侦听以接入信道。对于终端设备来说,网络设备在抢占载波之前已经执行过了可靠性较高的长侦听类型的信道侦听,故此,终端设备需要发送的上行信息在共享网络设备提供的剩余的最大信道占用时间内时,只需要执行简单的短侦听类型的信道侦听即可占用载波向网络设备发送上行信息。而对于超出网络设备提供的剩余的最大信道占用时间的上行信息,终端设备则必需要执行长侦听类型的信道侦听以保证与周围其他无线节点在非授权频谱上的公平共存。
为了扩展可使用带宽,第四代移动通讯技术(the 4Generation mobile communication technology,4G)引入了增强授权辅助接入(eLAA,enhanced LAA)(Licensed-Assisted Access using Long Term Evolution,LAA-LTE)技术。终端设备通过载波聚合(Carrier Aggregation,CA)技术,将可用的频谱从授权频段扩展至非授权频段以向网络设备发送上行信息,从而提升上行信息的传输速度。在本申请实施例中,可以以子带为单位进行上行信息传输。其中,所述子带(例如,第一子带或者第二子带或者第三子带)为用于承载上行信息的一段频域资源。可选的,所述子带包括至少一个子载波,或者,所述子带包括至少一个物理资源块(PRB)。可选的,所述子带为对应5MHz或10MHz或20MHz带宽的频带,例如,该段频带对应LTE系统中的一个载波所占的频域范围。可选的,所述子带为一个载波(例如,第一子带为第一载波,第二子带为第二载波,第三子带为第三载波)。应理解,所述子带也可以称之为带宽切片(BandWidth Part,BWP)。可选的,所述子带为该终端设备执行信道侦听的频域单元,例如,终端设备在执行LBT时,使用所述子带上的侦听时隙内检测到的功率与所述子带所对应的CCA-ED进行对比以判断信道为忙碌或空闲;再例如,该终端设备针对所述子带执行LBT成功后才能占用所述子带发送上行信息(例如,第一上行信息或第二上行信息或第三上行信息)。为了陈述方便,下面均以所述子带包括一个子载波为例进行描述,例如,第一子带称为第一载波,第二子带称为第二载波,第三子带称为第三载波,子带集合称为载波集合。
如图1所示,终端设备在第一载波CC1以及第二载波CC2两个非授权频段的载波进行载波聚合以发送上行信息。其中,对于第一载波CC1,网络设备在抢占载波第一载波CC1之后发送的下行信息未占满下行最大信道占用时间,但是,终端设备准备发行的上行信息的时长大于剩余的下行最大信道占用时间,终端设备不可以使用网络设备共享的剩余的下行最大信道占用时间发送上行信息,因此,终端设备必须对第一载波CC1执行长侦听类型的信道侦听;对于第二载波CC2,网络设备在抢占第二载波CC2之后发送的下行信息占满了最大信道占用时间,网络设备没有剩余的最大信道占用时间共享给终端设备发送上行信息,因此,终端设备需要对第二载波CC2执行长侦听类型的信道侦听。终端设备只有在对第一载波CC1以及第二载波CC2的信道侦听均成功时,才能成功进行载波聚合以发送上行信息。
在本申请实施例中,最大信道占用时间可以是根据终端设备的信道接入优先级(Priority  Class)而确定的。当终端设备的信道接入优先级越高,则终端设备越容易成功抢占载波进行数据传输,但是,终端设备的最大信道占用时间越短,反之,当终端设备的信道接入优先级越低,则终端设备越难以成功抢占载波进行数据传输,但是,终端设备的最大信道占用时间越长。
现有技术提出了一种信息发送方法,如图2所示,针对于图1所示的场景,终端设备在进行多载波聚合时,可以执行多载波信道侦听,只需要对第一载波CC1执行长侦听类型的信道侦听,对第二载波CC2执行拉齐的短侦听类型的信道侦听即可。即,终端设备将第二载波CC2从长侦听类型的信道侦听转变为短侦听类型的信道侦听,以提高终端设备的侦听成功率。如果终端设备对第一载波CC1以及第二载波CC2的信道侦听均成功,终端设备就可以在第一载波CC1和第二载波CC2上向网络设备发送上行信息。
但是,如果第二载波CC2的信道比较空闲,但是,第一载波CC1的信道比较拥塞的情况下,则终端设备的信道侦听效率同样不高。
为了解决现有技术的问题,本申请提出了一种信息发送方法以及相关设备,能够有效地提高终端设备的侦听效率。下面将分别进行详细的介绍。
图3是本申请实施例提供的一种信息发送方法的交互图。图3所示,本申请实施例的信息发送方法包括如下步骤:
S101:网络设备向终端设备发送指示信息。相应地,终端设备接收网络设备发送的指示信息。
在本申请实施例中,网络设备主要是指连接接入网与核心网之间的中转设备,即,网络设备将从接入网接收到的上行信息发送至核心网,以及,将从核心网接收到的下行消息发送至接入网。网络设备通常可以包括:宏基站(Macro eNodeB/NodeB)、微基站(micro eNodeB/NodeB)、微微基站、家庭基站(home eNodeB/NodeB)、分布式基站、远端射频头以及中继(Relay)等等,此处不作具体限定。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备为逻辑实体,具体可以是用户设备(User Equipment)以及物联网(Internet of Things,IoT)设备等等中的任意一种。其中,用户设备可以是智能手机(smart phone)、智能手表(smart watch),智能平板等等,物联网设备可以是可穿戴设备(Wearable Device,WD),仪表以及环境监控设备等等,此处不作具体限定。
在本申请实施例中,所述终端设备可以通过频分多址接入(frequency division multiple access,FDMA)技术接入到所述网络设备。所述频分多址接入技术包括:单载波频分多址(Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access,SC-FDMA)、正交频分多址(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access,OFDMA)或者其他的频分多址接入技术,此处不作具体的限定。
在本申请实施例中,所述指示信息可以用于指示所述终端设备在发送第一上行信息之前,对第一载波进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为长侦听类型,以及,指示所述终端设备在发送所述第二上行信息之前,对所述第二载波上进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为所述短侦听类型。
S102:终端设备对所述第一载波执行第一信道侦听,对第二载波执行第二信道侦听,其中,所述第一信道侦听为短侦听类型的信道侦听,所述第二信道侦听为所述长侦听类型的信道侦听。也可以理解为,所述第一信道侦听为针对第一上行信息执行的信道侦听,所述第二信道侦听为针对第二上行信息执行的信道侦听。
在本申请实施例中,所述第一载波以及所述第二载波均属于所述载波集合。其中,所述载波集合为所述终端设备进行载波聚合时所使用的载波的集合。应理解,所述载波集合还可以包括所述第一载波以及所述第二载波外,还可以包括其他载波,例如,第三载波等等。应理解,所述载波集合具体包含哪些载波可以由终端设备自行决定,本实施例不做限定。例如图4所示,所述载波集合包括4个载波,其中CC1为第二载波,被网络设备指示使用短侦听类型的信道侦听且实际执行长侦听类型的信道侦听,CC2为第一载波,被网络设备指示使用长侦听类型的信道侦听且实际执行短侦听类型的信道侦听,所述载波集合还包括被网络设备指示使用长侦听类型的信道侦听的CC3以及被网络设备指示使用短侦听类型的信道侦听的CC4(称之为第三载波)。本实施例以载波集合包括第一载波和第二载波为例进行说明,并且在本实施例的某些实施方法中,载波集合还包含第三载波。但是,在其他的实施例中,第一载波也可以替换为第一子带,第二载波也可以替换为第二子带,第三载波也可以替换为第三子带,此时,载波集合也可以被称为子带集合。并且,载波集合中载波的数量也可以是其他,例如,载波集合也可以只包括第一载波以及第二载波,或者,载波集合还可以包括第四载波、第五载波或者更多。
进一步的,所述载波集合为所述终端设备进行多载波信道侦听时所使用的载波的集合。多载波侦听时,终端设备对该载波集合中的其中一个载波执行长侦听类型的信道侦听,对其他载波执行短侦听类型的信道侦听,当长侦听类型的载波的信道侦听成功,且短侦听类型的载波的信道侦听成功时,则终端设备可以占用短侦听类型的载波发送上行信息。
可选的,所述第二载波为所述终端设备在载波集合中随机选择的载波,即,所述第二载波可以是载波集合中任意一个侦听类型被网络设备指示为所述长侦听类型的载波,也可以是载波集合中任意一个侦听类型被网络设备指示为所述短侦听类型的载波。终端设备在载波集合中通过均匀随机的方式选择一个用于执行所述长侦听类型的载波,此时该被选择执行所述长侦听类型信道侦听的载波恰好为第二载波。当然终端设备通过这种均匀随机选择的方式也有可能选择到一个被指示为执行长侦听类型信道侦听的载波,但本实施例仅针对恰好选择为第二载波的情况进行说明。
可选的,所述第二载波为所述终端设备在载波集合中任意选择的载波。也就是说,终端设备将载波集合中的哪个载波作为第二载波以执行所述长侦听类型的信道侦听,是终端设备通过具体实现算法在载波集合中任意选择的,例如,可以选择载波集合中拥塞程度较小的载波,或者信道衰落程度较小的载波,本实施例不做限制。
终端设备选择载波集合中的第二载波执行长侦听类型的信道侦听后,终端设备对该第二载波执行所述长侦听类型的信道侦听,即第二信道侦听,并针对载波集合中的第一载波执行所述短侦听类型的信道侦听,即第一信道侦听。
在本申请实施例中,第一载波、第二载波以及第三载波均为非授权频段中的载波。其 中,非授权频段包括可用的非授权频段和非可用的授权频段。这里,非授权频段主要是指可用的非授权频段。可用的非授权频段包括:2.3GHz频段(欧洲)、3.5GHz频段(美国)、2.4GHz频段/5GHz频段/60GHz频段(全球)等等。可以理解,可用的非授权频段并非绝对不变的,随着社会和技术的发展,可用的非授权频段也可能因为重新规划而发生变化,上述可用的非授权频段的例子只是作为一种举例,而非具体限定。
在本申请实施例中,为了避免载波之间互相干扰,载波之间的保护间隔通常设置为15KHZ,但是,随着抗频偏能力的提高,载波之间的保护间隔可以做得越来越小,以提高频谱的利用效率,上述载波之间的保护间隔的例子只是作为一种举例,而非具体限定。
在本申请实施例中,所述第一上行信息为所述网络设备调度所述终端设备在所述第一载波上发送的上行信息,所述第二上行信息为所述网络设备调度所述终端设备在所述第二载波上发送的上行信息。其中,所述第一上行信息的起始时刻以及所述第二上行信息的起始时刻是相同的。也就是说,当对第一载波以及第二载波的信道侦听成功时,终端设备开始在各自载波的同一时刻发送上行信息。可以理解,终端设备的发送滤波器和接收滤波器均为非理想滤波,若终端设备在同一个时间单元里,在一个载波上发送信息,且在另一个载波上执行侦听,则发送信息的载波上的信息会泄露到执行信道侦听的载波上,导致执行信道侦听的载波无法侦听成功。因此只有当第一上行信息和第二上行信息起始时刻相同时,不会出现不同载波在同一时间分别执行信息发送和信道侦听,终端设备才能同时在第一载波和第二载波上侦听成功并同时开始发送信息。例如,第一上行信息的起始时刻和所述第二上行信息的起始时刻都是上行子帧的起始边界(Subframe boundary)、上行符号的起始边界或者上行符号的中间时刻等等。其中,上行符号的中间时刻可以是上行符号起始边界之后25us处,或上行符号起始边界之后25us+TA(Timing Advance)处等等。可以理解,上述上行符号的中间时刻不限于上述举例,此处不作具体限定。
可选的,所述第一上行信息为所述终端设备在所述第一载波上发送的免调度许可上行传输。应理解,对于基于免调度许可上行传输,终端设备的上行信息不需要由网络设备调度,而是由终端设备自主决定发送。这种不需要调度的传输方式可以称为免调度许可上行(Grant free UpLink或Grant less Uplink,GUL)传输方式,或者称为自主上行(Autonomous UL,AUL)传输方式。区别于基于网络设备调度的上行传输(Schedule based Uplink,SUL)中网络设备通过发送动态的上行授权调度终端设备发送上行信息,用于的GUL传输的GUL无线资源,包括时域和或频域资源,由网络设备半静态配置给终端设备。具体的说,该GUL无线资源通过RRC信令和或动态DCI信令配置给终端设备。具体地说,该GUL时域资源是周期性的,或者说,该GUL时域资源是持续性的时域资源,而基于上行授权调度的上行信息仅针对有限个数的时间单元生效。具体地说,该终端设备在会以GUL方式发送上行信息时会上报免调度许可上行控制信息(Grant free UpLink Control Information,G-UCI),该G-UCI为该上行数据所对应的控制信息。该G-UCI包括与该上行信息对应的HARQ进程的HARQ进程号信息、新数据指示(New Data Indicator,NDI)信息、与该上行信息对应的冗余版本(Redundancy Version,RV)信息以及该终端设备的用户标识(记为UE ID)信息中的至少一种信息。类似于第一上行信息和第二上行信息都是所述网络设备调度所述终端设备在所述第一载波上发送的信息的情况,当第一上行信息所述终端设备在所述第一载波 上发送的免调度许可上行传输时,第一上行信息和第二上行信息的起始时刻相同,其中,第二上行信息可以是免调度许可上行传输,也可以是网络设备调度终端设备发送的上行传输。
应理解,当所述第一上行信息为所述终端设备在所述第一载波上发送的免调度许可上行信息时,终端设备不需要接收网络设备发送的用于指示在第一载波上进行信道侦听的侦听类型的指示信息,或者说网络设备不需要向终端设备发送用于指示在第一载波上进行信道侦听的侦听类型的指示信息,而是可以通过预设的准则确定在第一载波上进行信道侦听的侦听类型为长侦听类型。例如,终端设备以免调度许可方式发送第一上行信息之前,默认规则是使用长侦听类型进行信道侦听。应理解,预设的准则可以是协议或法规所规定的。
可选的,所述第二上行信息为所述终端设备在所述第一载波上发送的免调度许可上行传输。类似的,所述第一上行信息和所述第二上行信息的起始时刻相同,其中,所述第一上行信息可以是免调度许可上行传输,也可以是网络设备调度终端设备发送的上行传输。
在本申请实施例中,所述第一上行信息可以包括该上行数据信息,导频信息以及上行控制信息中的至少一种。其中,所述第一上行信息可以承载在上行业务信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,PUSCH)中,也可以承载在上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel,PUCCH)中。进一步的,所述第一上行信息为所述网络设备通过上行授权调度的上行信息。所述第二上行信息也同样如此。
应理解,该终端设备在针对某一载波执行的信道侦听成功后,立即占用信道发送上行信息;或者说,该上行信息的起始时刻等于该信道侦听的结束时刻。也就是说,当该终端设备在该载波上使用单时隙CCA进行信道侦听时,侦听时隙之后紧跟该上行信息。当该终端设备在该第二载波上使用随机回退CCA进行信道侦听时,最后一个侦听时隙(回退计数器归零的时隙,或者回退计数器归零后额外的时隙)之后紧跟该上行信息。其中,该载波可以是第一载波或者第二载波或者第三载波;该上行信息可以是第一上行信息或者第二上行信息或者第三上行信息。
S103:终端设备根据对第一载波以及第二载波侦听结果选择第一载波以及第二载波进行上行信息的传输。在上述方法中,当第一载波被网络设备指定为长侦听类型的信道侦听,第二载波被网络设备指定为短侦听类型的信道侦听时,终端设备可以通过随机选择载波或者根据第一载波以及第二载波的信道实际情况,对第一载波执行短侦听类型的信道侦听,对第二载波执行长侦听类型的信道侦听,从而有效地提高终端设备进行信道侦听时的成功率。例如,当第一载波比较拥塞,第二载波比较空闲时,通过随机选择(例如,将第二载波加入到执行多载波侦听的载波集合中随机选择执行长侦听类型信道侦听的载波,则有可能选择到该空闲的第二载波执行长侦听类型信道侦听)或者任意选择的方式,对第一载波执行短侦听类型的信道侦听,对第二载波执行长侦听类型的信道侦听,以提高侦听的成功率。
如图5A所示,网络设备向终端设备发送的指示信息用于指示对第一载波CC1进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为长侦听类型,指示第二载波CC2进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为短侦听类型。在所述第一载波和所述第二载波之间满足切换侦听类型条件时,如图5B所示,对应 于图5A,终端设备确定对第一载波CC1执行对短侦听类型的信道侦听,对第二载波CC2执行长侦听类型的信道侦听。终端设备可以根据对第一载波CC1以及第二载波CC2的侦听结果选择第一载波CC1以及第二载波CC2进行上行信息的传输。其中,所述切换侦听类型条件包括以下至少一种:所述第一载波CC1的信道拥塞程度大于所述第二载波CC2的信道拥塞程度;以及,所述第一载波CC1的信道衰落程度大于所述第二载波CC2的信道衰落程度。
在实际应用中,如果终端设备对第一载波CC1进行短侦听类型的信道侦听以及对第二载波CC2进行长侦听类型的信道侦听的侦听结果均为信道侦听成功,则终端设备可以在所述第一载波上发送所述第一上行信息,和/或,在所述第二载波上发送所述第二上行信息。
在实际应用中,如果终端设备对第一载波CC1进行短侦听类型的信道侦听的侦听结果为信道侦听失败,对第二载波CC2进行长侦听类型的信道侦听的侦听结果为信道侦听成功,则终端设备可以在所述第二载波上发送所述第二上行消息。
应理解,终端设备对于一个包括第一载波和第二载波的载波集合中执行的多载波信道侦听,对于执行短侦听类型的第一信道侦听的第一载波,终端设备要在该第一载波上发送第一上行信息,除了需要满足第一信道侦听成功,而且还额外需要满足在第二载波上执行长侦听类型的第二信道侦听成功;如果该第二载波上的第二信道侦听失败,即使该终端设备在该第一载波上侦听到空闲,也不能发送该第一上行信息。同理,后面所提到的终端设备针对包括第三载波在内的多载波信道侦听也是如此,其中对第三载波的操作类似于第一载波。
当终端设备确定在第二载波执行长侦听类型的信道侦听之后,对于如何在载波集合中选择用于执行短侦听类型信道侦听的第一载波,可以包括以下两种方式。
可选的,在第一种方式中,终端设备对该第二载波执行所述长侦听类型的信道侦听,并针对该载波集合中的所有其他载波执行所述短侦听类型的信道侦听,或者说,针对该载波集合中的任意一个(或者说每一个)其他载波所执行的信道侦听类型都执行所述短侦听类型的信道侦听,此时可以称第一载波为载波集合中任意一个与所述第二载波不同的载波。也就是说,除了第一载波使用长侦听类型进行信道侦听外,载波集合中其他载波(不论被网络设备指示为使用何种侦听类型进行信道侦听)都转换为短侦听类型执行信道侦听。
也就是说,第一载波可以是被网络设备指示在发送第一上行信息之前,对第一载波进行的信道侦听类型为长侦听类型的载波,也可以是被网络设备指示在发送第一上行信息之前,对第一载波进行的信道侦听类型为短侦听类型的载波。
应理解,当第一载波是被网络设备指示在发送第一上行信息之前,对第一载波进行的信道侦听类型为短侦听类型的载波时,所述终端设备对所述第一载波执行所述短侦听类型的信道侦听,且对第二载波执行长侦听类型信道侦听的第二信道侦听,在所述第一载波上所述短侦听类型的信道侦听的侦听结果为信道侦听成功,并且,所述第二信道侦听的侦听结果为信道侦听成功时,所述终端设备在所述第一载波上发送所述第一上行信息。由于在一个执行多载波信道侦听的载波集合中,终端设备对其中任意一个实际执行短侦听类型信道侦听的载波(不论该载波被指示为长侦听类型还是短侦听类型),其侦听成功的条件都是实际执行长侦听类型信道侦听的载波(第二载波)的信道侦听成功,且该载波的短侦听类型的信道侦听成功,因此受限于这种侦听方式,即使第一载波被指示为短侦听类型,也要 额外满足第二载波的第二信道侦听成功才能发送第三上行信息。例如,如图4所示,载波集合包括{CC1,CC2,CC3,CC4},第一载波为CC4,第二载波为CC1,指示信息指示终端设备对CC4执行短侦听类型的信道侦听,对CC1也执行短侦听类型的信道侦听。由于载波集合中还包括CC2、CC3,终端设备实际执行的多载波侦听中,将CC1执行长侦听类型的信道侦听,对CC2、CC3、CC4执行短侦听类型的信道侦听,此时由于第一载波CC4和第二载波CC1在同一载波集合中,因此当终端设备对CC1的侦听结果为侦听成功,且对CC4的侦听结果为侦听成功时,终端设备才能在CC4上发送第一上行信息;如果终端设备对CC1的侦听结果为侦听失败,则不能占用CC4发送第一上行信息(不论CC4是否侦听成功)。
可选的,在第二种方式中,终端设备对该第二载波执行所述长侦听类型的信道侦听,并针对该载波集合中的所有其他被网络设备指示为执行所述长侦听类型信道侦听的载波执行所述短侦听类型的信道侦听,或者说,针对该载波集合中的任意一个(或者说每一个)被网络设备指示为执行所述长侦听类型信道侦听的载波所执行的信道侦听类型都执行所述短侦听类型的信道侦听,此时可以称所述第一载波为载波集合中任意一个侦听类型被网络设备指示为所述长侦听类型的载波。也就是说,除了第一载波使用长侦听类型进行信道侦听外,载波集合中其他所有原来被指示为长侦听类型信道侦听的载波都转换为短侦听类型执行信道侦听。
另外,所述指示信息还用于指示所述终端设备在发送第三上行信息之前,对第三载波进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为所述短侦听类型。相应地,所述终端设备还用于对所述第三载波执行第四信道侦听,其中,所述第四信道侦听为所述短侦听类型的信道侦听。也可以说,所述第四信道侦听为针对第三上行信息执行的信道侦听。在所述第四信道侦听的侦听结果为信道侦听成功,并且,所述第二信道侦听的侦听结果为信道侦听成功时,所述终端设备在所述第三载波上发送所述第三上行信息。
考虑到载波集合中除了包括被指示为长侦听类型信道侦听的第一载波和被指示为短侦听类型信道侦听第二载波,还有可能包括另一个被指示为短侦听类型信道侦听的第三载波,由于在一个执行多载波信道侦听的载波集合中,终端设备对其中任意一个实际执行短侦听类型信道侦听的载波(不论该载波被指示为长侦听类型还是短侦听类型),其侦听成功的条件都是实际执行长侦听类型信道侦听的载波(第二载波)的信道侦听成功,且该载波的短侦听类型的信道侦听成功,因此受限于这种侦听方式,即使第三载波被指示为短侦听类型,也要额外满足第二载波的第二信道侦听成功才能发送第三上行信息。
例如如图4所示,所述载波集合包括4个载波,其中CC1为第二载波,被网络设备指示使用短侦听类型的信道侦听,CC2为第一载波,被网络设备指示使用长侦听类型的信道侦听,CC4为第三载波,被网络设备指示使用短侦听类型的信道侦听,终端设备实际对CC1执行长侦听类型的信道侦听,对CC2、CC4执行短侦听类型的信道侦听,但CC2或CC4除了需要满足本载波短侦听类型的信道侦听成功,还需要满足CC1长侦听类型的信道侦听成功,才能发送上行信息。
应理解,所述第三上行信息为所述网络设备调度所述终端设备在所述第三载波上发送的上行消息。在本申请实施例中,所述第一上行信息的起始时刻、所述第二上行信息的起 始时刻以及所述第三上行信息的起始时刻是相同的。也就是说,当对第一载波、第二载波以及第三载波的信道侦听成功时,终端设备开始在各自载波的同一时刻发送上行信息。
应理解,终端设备要在该第三载波上发送第三上行信息,除了需要满足第四信道侦听成功,而且还额外需要满足在第二载波上执行长侦听类型的第二信道侦听成功;如果该第二载波上的第二信道侦听失败,即使该终端设备在该第三载波上侦听到空闲,也不能发送该第三上行信息。
在本申请实施例中,所述第三上行信息可以包括该上行数据信息,导频信息以及上行控制信息中的至少一种。其中,所述第三上行信息可以承载在PUSCH中,也可以承载在PUCCH中。进一步的,所述第三上行信息为所述网络设备通过上行授权调度的上行信息。
可选的,所述第三上行信息为所述终端设备在所述第一载波上发送的免调度许可上行传输。类似的,所述第三上行信息和所述第一上行信息的起始时刻以及所述第二上行信息的起始时刻都是相同的,其中,所述第一上行信息可以是免调度许可上行传输,也可以是网络设备调度终端设备发送的上行传输,所述第二上行信息可以是免调度许可上行传输,也可以是网络设备调度终端设备发送的上行传输。
进一步地,终端设备还可以对第二载波执行短侦听类型的信道侦听,称之为第三信道侦听,如果对第二载波CC2进行的第三信道侦听的侦听结果为信道侦听成功,则终端设备可以在所述第二载波上发送所述第二上行消息。特别地,如果终端设备对第二载波CC2进行长侦听类型的信道侦听(第即二信道侦听)的侦听结果为信道侦听失败,但是,对第二载波CC2进行短侦听类型的信道侦听(即第三信道侦听)的侦听结果为信道侦听成功,则终端设备可以在所述第二载波上发送所述第二上行消息。可以理解,终端设备对第二载波执行短侦听类型的信道侦听与终端设备对第二载波执行长侦听类型的信道侦听可以是同时发生的,即,终端设备在对第二载波执行长侦听类型的信道侦听的同时,也顺带完成了对第二载波执行短侦听类型的信道侦听。
应理解,终端设备原本就被该网络设备指示在第二载波上使用单时隙CCA接入信道,因此若该终端设备在该第二载波上执行长侦听类型信道侦听失败的情况下,可以回退(Fallback)到短侦听类型信道侦听,即在该第二上行信息起始时刻之前执行短侦听类型信道侦听,如果该终端设备在该第二载波上执行短侦听类型信道侦听成功,则可以在该第二载波上发送该第二上行信息。
应理解,当终端设备针对该第二载波执行长侦听类型信道侦听失败,且该终端设备针对该第二载波执行短侦听类型信道侦听成功时,虽然该终端设备可以在该第二载波上发送该第二上行信息,但是终端设备不能占用第一载波发送第一上行信息,或者说放弃在该第一载波上发送第一上行信息。对于多载波侦听中,将一个原来为长侦听类型信道侦听的载波切换为短侦听类型信道侦听,则接入信道发送信息的前提条件除了该载波上完成短侦听类型的信道侦听,还需要载波集合中执行长侦听类型信道侦听的载波(第一载波)完成长侦听类型的信道侦听,因此若该第二载波上未完成长侦听类型的信道侦听,回退到短侦听类型信道侦听并完成信道侦听,终端设备虽然可以在第二载波上发送第二上行信息,但是不满足第一载波信道发送第一上行信息的条件,因此不能在该第一载波上发送第一上行信 息。
如图6所示,载波集合包括{CC1,CC2,CC3},第一载波为CC1,第二载波为CC2,指示信息指示终端设备对CC1执行短侦听类型的信道侦听,对CC2执行长侦听类型的信道侦听,另外网络设备还指示对CC3执行长侦听类型的信道侦听。终端设备在多载波侦听操作中,实际对CC1执行长侦听类型的信道侦听,对CC2、CC3执行短侦听类型的信道侦听。终端设备还可以同时针对CC1执行短侦听类型的信道侦听,当终端设备对CC1的长侦听类型的信道侦听(第一侦听)失败,但是对CC1的短侦听类型的信道侦听(第三侦听)成功时,可以占用CC1发送第一上行信息;但是,考虑到对CC1的长侦听类型的信道侦听失败,不能占用CC2发送上行信息(即使针对CC2的短侦听类型的信道侦听成功)。
下面将从指示信息的数量、指示信息的承载信息以及指示信息的指示方式三个维度详细说明指示信息的具体实现方式。
从指示信息的数量的角度来说,所述指示信息可以是单个指示信息也可以是多个指示信息。
当所述指示信息是单个指示信息时,所述指示信息同时用于指示在发送第一上行信息之前,对第一载波进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为长侦听类型,以及,在发送第二上行信息之前,对第二载波进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为长侦听类型。
当所述指示信息包括多个指示信息时,所述指示信息可以包括第一指示信息以及第二指示信息。其中,所述第一指示信息用于指示在发送第一上行信息之前,对第一载波进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为长侦听类型。所述第二指示信息用于指示在发送所述第二上行信息之前,对所述第二载波上进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为所述短侦听类型。可以理解,当所述第一载波的数量为M个时,所述第一指示信息的数量也可以为M个,其中每个第一指示信息一一对应地指示一个在第一载波上执行信道侦听的侦听类型,当所述第二载波的数量为N个时,所述第二指示信息的数量也可以为N个,其中每个第二指示信息一一对应地指示一个在第二载波上执行信道侦听的侦听类型。
另外,当所述指示信息还用于指示所述终端设备在发送第三上行信息之前,对第三载波进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为所述短侦听类型时,所述指示信息还包括第三指示信息。其中,第三指示信息用于指示所述终端设备在发送第三上行信息之前,对第三载波进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为所述短侦听类型。
应理解,当所述指示信息包括第一指示信息、第二指示信息、第三指示信息中的至少两个指示信息时,分别通过该至少两个指示信息中每个指示信息来指示所述终端设备在该指示信息所对应的载波上发送上行信息之前,对该对应的载波进行的信道侦听的侦听类型。
从指示信息的承载信息的角度来说,所述指示信息或所述第一指示信息或所述第二指示信息或所述第三指示信息可以包括用户特定控制信息或者公共控制信息中的至少一个。
在具体的实施例中,所述用户特定控制信息为承载在下行控制信道中的控制信息。例如,所述用户特定控制信息为用于调度该终端设备发送上行信息的上行授权(UL grant),或者,所述上行授权中的至少一个字段。可以理解,上述例子仅仅是一种举例,而非具体限定,在其他的实施中,用户特定控制信息还可以是其他承载于下行控制信道中的控制信 息。
进一步地,用户特定控制信息还用于调度所述终端设备在所述载波集合的其中一个载波上发送上行信息。也就是说,用户特定控制信息除了调度所述终端设备发送第一上行信息的同时,还指示所述终端设备在发送第一上行信息之前,对第一载波进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为长侦听类型,和/或,用户特定控制信息除了调度所述终端设备发送第二上行信息的同时,还指示所述终端设备在发送所述第二上行信息之前,对所述第二载波上进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为所述短侦听类型,和/或,用户特定控制信息除了调度所述终端设备发送第三上行信息的同时,还指示所述终端设备在发送所述第三上行信息之前,对所述第三载波上进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为所述短侦听类型。
进一步地,当所述用户特定控制信息用于调度所述终端设备发送上行信息时,所述用户特定控制信息还包括上行信息所占的频域资源、调制编码方式(Modulation and Coding Scheme,MCS)、承载上行信息的物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,PUSCH)对应的解调参考信号(Demodulation Reference Signal,DMRS)序列信息中的至少一种。
在具体的实施例中,所述公共控制信息为承载在下行控制信道中的公共控制信息。例如,所述公共控制信息为公共下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,CPDCCH)对应的下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI),或者,下行控制信息中的至少一个字段。其中,CPDCCH中的DCI为小区公共无线网络临时标识(Cell Common-RadioNetworkTemporaryIdentifier,CC-RNTI)加扰的DCI。可以理解,上述例子仅仅是一种举例,而非具体限定,在其他的实施中,公共控制信息还可以是其他承载于下行控制信道中的公共控制信息。
可以理解,所述指示信息可以全部都是用户特定控制信息,可以全部都是公共控制信息,也可以一部分是用户特定控制信息,另一部分是公共控制信息,本申请不作具体限定。例如,所述指示信息包括用于指示终端设备针对第一载波进行信道侦听的侦听类型为长侦听类型的第一指示信息、用于指示终端设备针对第二载波进行信道侦听的侦听类型为短侦听类型的第二指示信息以及用于指示终端设备针对第三载波进行信道侦听的侦听类型为短侦听类型的第三指示信息中的至少两个指示信息,该至少两个指示信息中的至少一个指示信息为用户特定控制信息,另外至少一个指示信息为公共控制信息。
可选的,所述指示信息所包括的上行授权UL grant或公共物理下行控制信道CPDCCH(或者说CPDCCH中承载的公共下行控制信息,Common DCI)用于指示所述终端设备在发送所述第二上行信息之前,对所述第二载波进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为所述短侦听类型。换句话说,所述指示信息包括第二指示信息,其中第二指示信息承载在第二UL grant或者第二CPDCCH中,第二指示信息用于指示所述终端设备在发送所述第二上行信息之前,对所述第二载波进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为所述短侦听类型。
可选的,所述指示信息所包括的上行授权UL grant或公共物理下行控制信道CPDCCH(或者说CPDCCH中承载的公共下行控制信息)用于指示所述终端设备在发送所述第一上行信息之前,对所述第一载波进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为所述长侦听类型。换句话说,所述指示信息包括第一指示信息,其中第一指示信息承载在第一UL grant或者第一 CPDCCH中,第一指示信息用于指示所述终端设备在发送所述第一上行信息之前,对所述第一载波进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为所述长侦听类型。
可选的,所述指示信息所包括的上行授权UL grant或公共物理下行控制信道CPDCCH(或者说CPDCCH中承载的公共下行控制信息)用于指示所述终端设备在发送所述第三上行信息之前,对所述第三载波进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为所述短侦听类型。换句话说,所述指示信息包括第三指示信息,其中第三指示信息承载在第三UL grant或者第三CPDCCH中,第三指示信息用于指示所述终端设备在发送所述第三上行信息之前,对所述第三载波进行的信道侦听的侦听类型为所述短侦听类型。
进一步的,对于所述第一指示信息用于指示所述终端设备对所述第一载波进行的信道侦听的侦听类型,可以通过后面阐述的显式方式或隐式方式指示,其中显式方式对应通过所述第一UL grant进行指示的方式,隐式方式对应通过所述第一CPDCCH进行指示的方式。同样的,所述第二指示信息用于指示所述终端设备对所述第二载波进行的信道侦听的侦听类型,其中显式方式对应通过所述第二UL grant进行指示的方式,隐式方式对应通过所述第二CPDCCH进行指示的方式;述第二指示信息用于指示所述终端设备对所述第二载波进行的信道侦听的侦听类型,其中显式方式对应通过所述第二UL grant进行指示的方式,隐式方式对应通过所述第二CPDCCH进行指示的方式。或者说,对于所述指示信息用于指示所述终端设备对所述第一载波或第二载波或第三载波进行的信道侦听的侦听类型,可以通过后面阐述的显式方式或隐式方式指示,其中显式方式对应通过所述UL grant进行指示的方式,隐式方式对应通过所述CPDCCH进行指示的方式。
从指示信息的指示方式的角度来说,所述指示信息可以采用显式方式或者隐式方式进行指示。
当所述第一指示信息采用显式方式进行指示时,所述第一指示信息可以是用于表明信道侦听类型的预设比特、预设字符或者预设字段等等,本申请不作具体限定。例如,通过第一UL grant中的’Channel Access type’字段对侦听类型进行指示。再例如,第一指示信息可以是承载于上行授权的1个比特,当所述比特的值为“0”时,指示所述第一载波的信道侦听类型为长侦听类型;当所述比特的值为“1”时,指示所述第一载波的信道侦听类型为短侦听类型,或者,当所述比特的值为“1”时,指示所述第一载波的信道侦听类型为长侦听类型;当所述比特的值为“0”时,指示所述第一载波的信道侦听类型为短侦听类型。上述方式同样适用于当该指示信息或第二指示信息指示所述第二载波的信道侦听类型时,或者当该指示信息或第三指示信息指示所述第三载波的信道侦听类型时。
当所述第二指示信息采用隐式方式进行指示时,所述第二指示信息可以指示第二时域资源信息,当第二上行信息所在的时间单元不晚于第二时域资源的结束时间单元时,所述第二指示信息指示终端设备发送第二上行信息前执行短侦听类型的信道侦听,或者说终端设备确定发送第二上行信息前应执行短侦听类型的信道侦。。上述方式同样的可以适用于当所述第一指示信息采用隐式方式进行指示时:所述第一指示信息可以指示第一时域资源信息,当第一上行信息所在的时间单元晚于第一时域资源的结束时间单元时,所述第一指示信息指示终端设备发送第一上行信息前执行长侦听类型的信道侦听,或者说终端设备确定发送第一上行信息前应执行长侦听类型的信道侦听。上述方式同样的可以适用于当所述第 三指示信息采用隐式方式进行指示时:所述第三指示信息可以指示第三时域资源信息,当第三上行信息所在的时间单元不晚于第三时域资源的结束时间单元时,所述第三指示信息指示终端设备发送第三上行信息前执行短侦听类型的信道侦听,或者说终端设备确定发送第三上行信息前应执行短侦听类型的信道侦听。
具体地,称上述第一时域资源信息或第二时域资源信息或第三时域资源信息为时域资源,所述时域资源信息可以体现为以下的任意一种方式:
在第一种方式中,所述时域资源信息包括:所述下行最大信道占用时间的结束时刻,或者,所述下行最大信道占用时间的剩余时间长度。终端设备可以知道下行信息的结束时刻,所以,在接收到所述下行最大信道占用时间的时域资源信息之后,终端设备可以根据所述下行最大信道占用时间的结束时刻,或者,所述下行最大信道占用时间的剩余时间长度直接确定是否能够共享所述下行最大信道占用时间。
在第二种方式中,所述时域资源信息包括:所述下行最大信道占用时间的起始时刻,以及,所述下行最大信道占用时间的持续时长。终端设备可以知道下行信息的结束时刻,所以,在接收到所述下行最大信道占用时间的时域资源信息之后,终端设备可以根据所述下行最大信道占用时间的起始时刻,以及,所述下行最大信道占用时间的持续时长确定所述下行最大信道占用时间的结束时刻,从而确定是否能够共享所述下行最大信道占用时间。
对于第一种方式和第二种方式,当终端设备要发送的上行信息(第一上行信息或第二上行信息或第三上行信息)所在的时间单元不晚于所述下行最大信道占用时间的结束时间单元(结束时刻)时,该指示信息指示该终端设备执行短侦听类型的信道侦听,当终端设备要发送的上行信息所在的时间单元晚于所述下行最大信道占用时间的结束时间单元(结束时刻)时,该指示信息指示该终端设备执行长侦听类型的信道侦听。
在第三种方式中,所述时域资源信息包括:(所述下行最大信道占用时间内)被调度的上行传输的起始时刻,以及,(所述下行最大信道占用时间内)被调度的上行传输的持续时长。
进一步的,该上行传输的起始时刻(或起始时间单元)可以是该上行传输的起始时刻(或起始时间单元)相比于承载该指示信息的下行传输的结束时刻(或结束时间单元)或承载该指示信息的时间单元起始时刻(或时间单元)的时间偏移(或者说时间间隔),上行传输的结束时刻(或结束时间单元)为上行传输的起始时刻(或起始时间单元)加上上行传输的持续时长。其中,当终端设备要发送的上行信息(第一上行信息或第二上行信息或第三上行信息)所在的时间单元不晚于该上行传输的结束时间单元时,该指示信息(或第一指示信息或第二指示信息或第三指示信息)指示该终端设备执行短侦听类型的信道侦听,当终端设备要发送的上行信息所在的时间单元晚于该上行传输的结束时间单元时,该指示信息(或第一指示信息或第二指示信息或第三指示信息)指示该终端设备执行长侦听类型的信道侦听。例如,所述指示信息包括公共下行控制信道中的公共控制信息,该公共下行控制信道中的’UL offset’字段用于指示上行传输的起始时间单元相比于公共下行控制信道所在的时间单元(称为n)的偏移量(称为1),’UL duration’字段用于指示上行传输的持续时长(称为d),则该指示信息指示该终端设备可以在上行时间单元n+1+i上要发送的上行信息前,执行短侦听类型的信道侦听,i=0,1,...,d-1。该指示信息指示终端设备在n+1+d之 后的上行时间单元上要发送的上行信息前,执行长侦听类型的信道侦听。例如图7所示,第二载波CC1的公共下行控制信道承载在子帧#n+4上,指示被调度的上行传输的起始时刻相比于的时间偏移为5ms,上行传输的持续时长为4ms,因此该终端设备可以判断该下行最大信道占用时间的结束时刻为#n+12,因此#n+9~#n+12上的上行信息可以共享该该下行最大信道占用时间而使用短侦听类型的信道侦听;第一载波CC2的公共下行控制信道承载在子帧#n+6上,指示被调度的上行传输的起始时刻相比于的时间偏移为3ms,上行传输的持续时长为2ms,因此该终端设备可以判断下行最大信道占用时间的结束时刻为#n+10,因此#n+9~#n+12上的上行信息不能共享该下行最大信道占用时间,需要使用长侦听类型的信道侦听。应理解,上行信息所在的时间单元,称之为第一时间单元包含在该下行最大信道占用时间内是指,该第一时间单元的结束时间单元不晚于该下行最大信道占用时间或上行传输的结束时间单元。可选的,该下行最大信道占用时间的结束时刻为该下行最大信道占用时间的起始时刻加上该下行最大信道占用时间对应的持续时长。可选的,该下行最大信道占用时间的结束时刻为该下行最大信道占用时间的起始时刻加上该下行最大信道占用时间对应的持续时长加上所有空隙(Gap)的时长。其中,该下行最大信道占用时间的起始时刻为该网络设备执行完成信道侦听并开始发送下行信息的时刻。进一步地,该所有空隙为该下行最大信道占用时间的起始时刻之后,未被该网络设备所占用发送下行信息,且未被该网络设备调度发送上行信息(可以是被该网络设备调度该终端设备,也可以不仅限于该终端设备而包括被该网络设备调度的至少一个终端设备)的时域资源或者说空隙(Gap)。进一步地,任意一个空隙都是持续时间大于第一预设长度的空隙,例如该第一预设长度为25us。该下行最大信道占用时间对应的持续时长为该网络设备执行长侦听类型的信道侦听使用的信道接入优先级所对应的下行最大信道占用时间长度。例如,第一载波CC1的下行最大信道占用时间的时长为6ms,未被该网络设备占用发送下行信息且未被该网络设备调度(接入该网络设备的终端设备)发送上行信息的Gap为6ms,因此下行最大信道占用时间的结束时刻为#n+12,也就是说,上行子帧#n+9~#n+12都在下行最大信道占用时间内。
