Description

一种通信方法及装置
本申请要求在2017年11月2日提交中华人民共和国知识产权局、申请号为201711066692.X、发明名称为“一种通信方法及装置”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
本发明涉及通信技术领域,特别涉及一种通信方法及装置。
背景技术
在无线通信系统中,按照发送节点和接收节点种类的不同,可以将通信分为不同的类型。通常,将网络设备向终端设备发送信息称为下行通信,将终端设备向网络设备发送信息称为上行通信。在长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)/长期演进高级(long term evolution advanced,LTE-A)通信系统中,按照双工模式的不同主要可以分为频分双工(frequency division duplex,FDD)模式和时分双工(time division duplex,TDD)模式。
对于工作在TDD模式下的无线通信系统,下行载波和上行载波为同一载波频率的载波。而在第五代(the 5th generation,5G)移动通信系统的新空口(new RAT,NR)技术中,可以应用上下行解耦技术,即除了可以使用TDD载波进行上、下行通信外,还可以使用一个额外的上行载波进行上行通信,该额外的上行载波通常被称为上行增补(supplementary uplink,SUL)载波,即NR的终端设备可以同时拥有两个上行载波进行上行通信。
现有技术中,网络设备会在一些预先确定的下行资源上向终端设备发送下行控制信息(downlink control infornation,DCI),相应地,终端设备在这些下行资源上通过盲检测的方式检测并获取DCI,即终端设备会在多个可能的承载DCI的控制资源上尝试检测DCI。而针对终端设备能够被调度在两个或多个上行载波上发送PUSCH的情况,具体的技术方案仍然需要深入的探索研究。
发明内容

一种可能的场景中,参见图2a,设终端设备a1使用频率为F1和F2的载波分别进行下行、上行通信(FDD),网络设备b1配置了上行增补载波(载波F3),并为终端设备a配置动态调度上行载波的功能后,终端设备a可以使用载波F1进行下行信号传输,以及使用载波F2或载波F3进行上行信号传输。此时,下行载波F1、上行载波F2和上行载波F3属于同一个小区,或者说,下行载波F1、上行载波F2和上行载波F3属于同一个带宽组合,又或者说,下行载波F1对应上行载波F2和上行载波F3。
另一种可能的场景中,参见图2b,设终端设备a2使用频率为F4的TDD载波分别进行上行、下行通信,网络设备b2配置了上行增补载波(载波F5),并为终端设备a2配置动态调度上行载波的功能后,终端设备a2可以使用载波F4的下行时隙进行下行信号传输,以及使用载波F4的上行时隙进行上行信号传输或者使用载波F5进行上行信号传输。此时,载波F4和上行载波F5属于同一个小区。
现有技术中,针对终端设备能够被调度在两个或多个上行载波上发送上行信号的情况,以两个上行载波(第一上行载波和第二上行载波)为例,当网络设备调度终端设备在第一上行载波上发送上行信号时,网络设备会向终端设备发送DCI1;当网络设备调度终端设备在第二上行载波上发送上行信号时,网络设备会向终端设备发送DCI2,DCI1和DCI2的比特数可能不同,从而使得终端设备需要分别按照DCI1的比特数和DCI2的比特数来盲检测DCI,即终端设备需要分别按照两个不同的DCI比特数来进行盲检测,导致盲检测 DCI的时间较长、效率较低。
基于此,本申请提供一种通信方法,包括:终端设备在第一下行载波上从网络设备接收下行控制信息DCI,并根据所述DCI确定所述第一上行载波或所述第二上行载波,其中,所述DCI用于指示所述终端设备在第一上行载波或第二上行载波上向所述网络设备发送上行信号;第一比特数与第二比特数相等,所述第一比特数为所述DCI指示所述终端设备在所述第一上行载波上向所述网络设备发送上行信号时所述DCI的比特数,所述第二比特数为所述DCI指示所述终端设备在所述第二上行载波上向所述网络设备发送上行信号时所述DCI的比特数。本申请中,由于第一比特数和第二比特数相等,因此终端设备可按照第一比特数(或第二比特数)在搜索空间上盲检测DCI,即在搜索空间上按照一个DCI比特数进行盲检测即可,从而提高了终端设备盲检测DCI的效率,有效避免了现有技术中终端设备可能需要分别按照多个不同的DCI比特数来盲检测DCI的问题。
需要说明的是:(1)本申请中所涉及的上行载波可以称为上行资源或上行频率或上行,同样地,下行载波可以是指下行资源或下行频率或下行。应理解,载波的技术实质为频率域上的一段频率资源,该频率资源在通信领域可以被称为载波,当然也可以用其他名称进行描述,本申请不对其进行限定。(2)本申请中的通信方法是以终端设备能够被调度在第一上行载波和第二上行载波上的情形为例来描述的,该方法同样适用于终端设备能够被调度在多个上行载波上的情形,当终端设备能够被调度在多个上行载波上时,DCI指示所述终端设备在不同的上行载波上向网络设备发送上行信号时DCI的比特数是相等的。(3)DCI的比特数也可以理解为DCI的大小或长度,该DCI的比特数可以是DCI的有效负荷(payload)的比特数,也可以是DCI的总负荷的比特数,例如,该DCI的总负荷可以包括填充(padding)比特,也可以不包括填充比特。
图3为本申请提供的一种通信方法对应的流程示意图,如图3所示,包括:
步骤301,网络设备确定DCI。
此处,网络设备确定将要调度的上行载波为第一上行载波或第二上行载波,进而根据确定出的第一上行载波或第二上行载波生成DCI。具体来说,若网络设备确定将要调度的上行载波为第一上行载波,则生成的DCI用于指示终端设备在第一上行载波向网络设备发送上行信号;若网络设备确定将要调度的上行载波为第二上行载波,则生成的DCI用于指示终端设备在第二上行载波向网络设备发送上行信号。
进一步地,网络设备可以依据多种因素来确定将要调度的上行载波,比如,网络设备可以根据当前第一上行载波和第二上行载波的利用率来确定,具体不做限定。
本申请中,第一上行载波和第二上行载波中的任一个可以为上行增补载波。在一个示例中,第一上行载波为NR TDD上行载波,第二上行载波为上行增补载波。
步骤302,网络设备在第一下行载波上向终端设备发送所述DCI。
其中,所述DCI用于指示所述终端设备在第一上行载波或第二上行载波上向所述网络设备发送上行信号;第一比特数与第二比特数相等,所述第一比特数为所述DCI指示所述终端设备在所述第一上行载波上向所述网络设备发送上行信号时所述DCI的比特数,所述第二比特数为所述DCI指示所述终端设备在所述第二上行载波上向所述网络设备发送上行信号时所述DCI的比特数。此处,上行信号可以是上行数据信号,也可以是上行控制信号,或者上行测量信号,此处不对上行信号的类型进行限定。具体的,上行数据信号具体可以 是指物理上行共享信道(physical-layer uplink shared channel,PUSCH),也可以是其他名称,只要是与上行数据信号实质相同的信号都在本申请的保护范围内;上行测量信号具体可以是探测导频信号(sounding reference signal,SRS),当然也可以是其他名称。
本申请中,第一下行载波、第一上行载波和第二上行载波属于同一个小区,或者,第一下行载波、第一上行载波和第二上行载波属于同一个带宽组合,又或者说,第一下行载波对应第一上行载波和第二上行载波,或者第一上行载波和第二上行载波对应与第一下行载波。在一个示例中,若第一上行载波为NR TDD上行载波,第二上行载波为上行增补载波,则第一下行载波为NR TDD下行载波,当然也可以反过来。
步骤303,终端设备在第一下行载波上从网络设备接收DCI。
此处,由于第一比特数与第二比特数相等,因此,终端设备可按照第一比特数(或第二比特数)在搜索空间上盲检测并获取DCI。
步骤304,终端设备根据所述DCI确定第一上行载波或第二上行载波。
此处,若终端设备根据DCI确定出第一上行载波,则可在第一上行载波向网络设备发送上行信号;若终端设备根据DCI确定出第二上行载波,则可在第二上行载波向网络设备发送上行信号。
下面对本申请中的DCI所包括的内容进行具体说明。
DCI中可以包括第一指示域,第一指示域用于指示所述第一上行载波或所述第二上行载波,如此,在上述步骤304中,终端设备可根据第一指示域确定第一上行载波或第二上行载波。需要说明的是,终端设备根据所述DCI确定第一上行载波或第二上行载波的方式可以有多种,此处仅为一种可能的确定方式。
进一步地,针对第一指示域,一种可能的实现方式:针对于网络设备可在第一上行载波或第二上行载波的带宽范围内为终端设备分配资源的场景,第一指示域可用于指示出第一上行载波或第二上行载波,终端设备可在第一指示域所指示的上行载波或第二上行载波上向网络设备发送上行信号。
具体来说,可以预先设置第一指示域的状态与所指示的上行载波之间的对应关系,或者,预先由网络设备配置好对应关系并发送给终端设备。如此,终端设备接收到DCI后,可通过解析得到第一指示域的状态,进而根据第一指示域的状态与所指示的上行载波之间的对应关系,确定出第一上行载波或第二上行载波。
在一个示例中,第一指示域可以包括1比特,第一指示域的状态与所指示的上行载波之间的对应关系可以如表1a或表1b所示。
表1a:第一种可能的实现方式中的对应关系示例1
第一指示域的状态 所指示的上行载波
0 第一上行载波
1 第二上行载波
表1b:第一种可能的实现方式中的对应关系示例2
第一指示域的状态 所指示的上行载波
1 第一上行载波
0 第二上行载波
如表1a所示,当第一指示域的状态为“0”时,则指示第一上行载波,当第一指示域的 状态为“1”时,则指示第二上行载波。如表1b所示,当第一指示域的状态为“0”时,则指示第二上行载波,当第一指示域的状态为“1”时,则指示第一上行载波。
可选地,第一指示域可以是小区公共(cell common或cell specific)的域,应理解,小区内的所有终端设备对第一指示域有相同的理解。例如,对于任一终端设备,第一指示域的状态为0时,其指示的上行载波为NR TDD上行载波,第一指示域的状态为1时,其指示的上行载波为SUL。当然,第一指示域也可以是终端设备专用(UE specific)的域,应理解,小区内的终端设备对第一指示域可以有不同的理解。例如,对于第一终端设备,第一指示域的状态为0时,其指示上行载波为NR TDD上行载波,第一指示域的状态为1时,其指示的上行载波为SUL;对于第二终端设备,第一指示域的状态为0时,其指示上行载波为SUL,第一指示域的状态为1时,其指示的上行载波为NR TDD上行载波。
需要说明的,网络设备给终端设备发送的DCI的种类可以有多种,这些DCI中包括第一指示域的DCI也可以有多种,对于某些类型的DCI,其包括的第一指示域可以是小区公共的域,对于另一些类型的DCI,其包括的第一指示域可以是终端设备专用的域。
另一种可能的实现方式:考虑到在5G NR系统中,一个载波的最大带宽可以到400MHz,但是终端设备支持的最大带宽能力可能达不到如此大的带宽。当终端设备不支持一个载波的带宽能力的时候,网络设备需要先在载波内为终端设备配置一个或多个带宽部分(bandwidth part,BWP),然后在BWP的范围内向该终端设备分配资源。此种情形下,第一上行载波中可以包括至少一个上行BWP,第二上行载波中可以包括至少一个上行BWP,在一个示例中,第一上行载波中包括两个上行BWP,分别为上行BWP1a、上行BWP1b;第二上行载波中包括两个上行BWP,分别为上行BWP2a、上行BWP2b。需要说明的是,1a,1b,2a,2b只是用于区分四个不同的BWP,并不限定BWP的编号方法,这四个BWP也可以编号为BWP0,BWP1,BWP2和BWP3,当然也可以采用其他的编号方式。DCI需要指示出所述第一上行载波中的一个上行BWP或所述第二上行载波中的一个上行BWP,如此,终端设备可在DCI所指示的第一上行载波中的一个上行BWP或所述第二上行载波中的一个上行BWP上向网络设备发送上行信号。
可选地,DCI中包括第一指示域,第一指示域用于指示所述第一上行载波中的一个上行BWP或所述第二上行载波中的一个上行BWP。
同样地,可以预先设置第一指示域的状态与所指示的上行载波之间的对应关系,或者,预先由网络设备配置好对应关系并发送给终端设备。
在一个示例中,第一指示域中可以包括两部分,第一部分用于指示出目标上行载波,第二部分用于指示出目标上行载波中的一个BWP。基于上述示例,可设置第一指示域的第一部分包含1比特,第二部分包含1比特,第一部分为高比特位,第二部分为低比特位,如此,第一指示域的状态与所指示的内容之间的对应关系可以如表2a所示。
表2a:第二种可能的实现方式中的对应关系示例1
第一指示域的状态 所指示的内容
10 BWP1a
11 BWP1b
00 BWP2a
01 BWP2b
需要说明的是,表2a仅为一种可能的示例性表示,在其它的示例中,也可以是第一指示域中的低比特位用于指示目标上行载波,而高比特位用于指示目标上行载波中的一个BWP。
在另一个示例中,第一指示域中不区分用于指示出目标上行载波的部分和用于指示出目标上行载波中的一个BWP部分。基于上述示例,可设置第一指示域中包含2比特,第一指示域的状态与所指示的内容之间的对应关系可以如表2b所示。
表2b:第二种可能的实现方式中的对应关系示例2
第一指示域的状态 所指示的内容
10 BWP1a
11 BWP2a
00 BWP1b
01 BWP2b
需要说明的是,表2b仅为一种可能的示例性表示,在其它的示例中,可以灵活设置上述对应关系。
还需要说明的是,第一上行载波或第二上行载波中包含的BWP个数不限于本实施例中的2个,也可以是3个或者4个,或更多,并且第一上行载波中包括的BWP的个数与第二上行载波中包括的BWP的个数也可以不同,例如第一上行载波中的BWP个数为4个,第二上行载波中BWP的个数为1个。
第一指示域的比特数也不限于2比特,也可以是3比特或者更多比特。
可选地,DCI中包括第一指示域和第四指示域,第一指示域用于指示目标上行载波,第四指示域用于指示目标上行载波中的目标BWP。第一指示域和第四指示域可以是两个独立的指示域。基于上述示例,可设置第一指示域中包含1比特,第四指示域中包含1比特,第一指示域的状态与所指示的内容之间的对应关系可以如表2c所示,第四指示域的状态与所指示的内容之间的对应关系可以如表2d所示。
表2c:第二种可能的实现方式中的对应关系示例3
第一指示域的状态 所指示的内容
1 第一上行载波
0 第二上行载波
表2d:第二种可能的实现方式中的对应关系示例4
第四指示域的状态 所指示的内容

0 BWP1b或BWP2b
又一种可能的实现方式:终端设备支持载波聚合,即终端设备拥有至少两个服务小区,第一上行载波和第二上行载波属于至少两个服务小区中的一个服务小区。在一个示例中,终端设备拥有两个服务小区,分别为服务小区a和服务小区b,服务小区a中包括上行载波a1和上行载波a2,服务小区b中包括上行载波b1和上行载波b2。针对于服务小区a,若上行载波a1为第一上行载波,则上行载波a2为第二上行载波,当然也可以反过来;针对于服务小区b,若上行载波b1为第一上行载波,则上行载波b2为第二上行载波,当然 也可以反过来。需要说明的是,a1,a2,b1,b2只是用于区分四个不同的上行载波,并不限定上行载波的编号方法,这四个上行载波也可以编号为上行载波0,上行载波1,上行载波2和上行载波3,当然也可以采用其他的编号方式。同样地,a,b只是用于区分两个不同的服务小区,并不限定服务小区的编号方法,这两个服务小区也可以编号为服务小区0,服务小区1,当然也可以采用其他的编号方式。此种情形下,DCI需要指示出至少两个服务小区中的一个服务小区中的一个上行载波,如此,终端设备可根据DCI指示出的一个服务小区的一个上行载波上向网络设备发送上行信号。
可选地,DCI中包括第一指示域,第一指示域用于指示至少两个服务小区中的一个服务小区中的一个上行载波。
同样地,可以预先设置第一指示域的状态与所指示的上行载波之间的对应关系,或者,预先由网络设备配置好对应关系并发送给终端设备。
在一个示例中,第一指示域中可以包括两部分,第一部分用于指示两个服务小区中的目标服务小区,第二部分用于目标服务小区中的目标上行载波。基于上述示例,可设置第一指示域的第一部分包含1比特,第二部分包含1比特,第一部分为高比特位,第二部分为低比特位,如此,第一指示域的状态与所指示的内容之间的对应关系可以如表3a所示。
表3a:第三种可能的实现方式中的对应关系示例1
第一指示域的状态 所指示的内容
10 上行载波a1
11 上行载波a2
00 上行载波b1
01 上行载波b2
需要说明的是,表3a仅为一种可能的示例性表示,在其它的示例中,也可以是第一指示域中的低比特位用于指示目标服务小区,而高比特位用于指示目标服务小区中的目标上行载波。
在另一个示例中,第一指示域中不区分用于指示出目标服务小区的部分和用于指示出目标服务小区中的一个上行载波的部分。基于上述示例,可设置第一指示域中包含2比特,第一指示域的状态与所指示的内容之间的对应关系可以如表3b所示。
表3b:第二种可能的实现方式中的对应关系示例2
第一指示域的状态 所指示的内容
10 上行载波a1
11 上行载波b1
00 上行载波a2
01 上行载波b2
需要说明的是,表3b仅为一种可能的示例性表示,在其它的示例中,可以灵活设置上述对应关系。
还需要说明的是,服务小区a或服务小区b中包含的上行载波个数不限于本实施例中的2个,也可以是3个或者4个,或更多,并且服务小区a中包括的上行载波的个数与服务小区b中包括的上行载波的个数也可以不同,例如服务小区a中的上行载波个数为4个,服务小区b中的上行载波个数为2个。
第一指示域的比特数也不限于2比特,也可以是3比特或者更多比特。
可选地,DCI中包括第一指示域和第三指示域,第一指示域用于指示目标服务小区,第四指示域用于指示目标服务小区中的目标上行载波。第一指示域和第三指示域可以是两个独立的指示域。基于上述示例,可设置第一指示域中包含1比特,第三指示域中包含1比特,第一指示域的状态与所指示的内容之间的对应关系可以如表3c所示,第三指示域的状态与所指示的内容之间的对应关系可以如表3d所示。
表3c:第三种可能的实现方式中的对应关系示例3
第一指示域的状态 所指示的内容
0 服务小区a
1 服务小区b
表3d:第三种可能的实现方式中的对应关系示例4
第三指示域的状态 所指示的内容
0 上行载波a1或上行载波b1
1 上行载波a2或上行载波b2
DCI中还可以包括第二指示域,第二指示域用于指示所述终端设备在所述第一上行载波或所述第二上行载波上向所述网络设备发送上行信号的频率资源。第三比特数与第四比特数相等,所述第三比特数为所述DCI指示所述终端设备在第一上行载波上向所述网络设备发送上行信号时所述第二指示域的比特数,所述第四比特数为所述DCI指示所述终端设备在第二上行载波上向所述网络设备发送上行信号时所述第二指示域的比特数。
其中,第二指示域的比特数(即为第三比特数或第四比特数)可以是由网络设备预先确定好的,具体确定方式可以有多种,比如,第二指示域的比特数可以由第一上行载波的配置信息和第二上行载波的配置信息联合来确定。其中,第一上行载波的配置信息包括第一上行载波的带宽中包含的资源块个数,第二上行载波的配置信息包括第二上行资源的带宽中包含的资源块个数。
第一种可能的实现方式:第二指示域的比特数是由第一上行载波的带宽中包含的资源块个数和第二上行载波的带宽中包含的资源块个数中的最大值来确定。例如,当第二指示域指示第一上行载波的带宽中的资源块时需要X1比特,当第二指示域指示第二上行载波的带宽中的资源块时需要X2比特,且X1大于X2,则可确定第二指示域的比特数为X1比特。此种情形下,当DCI用于指示终端设备在第二上行载波上向网络设备发送上行信号时,第二指示域中的前X2个比特用于指示频域资源位置,后X1-X2个比特为填充比特。
第二种可能的实现方式:第二指示域的比特数是由第一上行载波的带宽中包含的资源块个数和第二上行载波的带宽中包含的资源块个数中的最小值来确定。例如,当第二指示域指示第一上行载波的带宽中的资源块时需要X1比特,当第二指示域指示第二上行载波的带宽中的资源块时需要X2比特,且X1大于X2,则可确定第二指示域的比特数为X2比特,从而限制网络设备在第一上行载波的带宽中只能调度X2比特对应的资源块个数,或者,增大网络设备在第一上行载波带宽中调度的频域资源粒度。
需要说明的是,上述内容中所涉及的上行载波的带宽具体可以是指网络设备配置的初始上行带宽(initial UL BWP),或者,也可以是指默认上行带宽(default UL BWP)。
还需要说明的是,本申请实施例中对于第一指示域,第二指示域和第三指示域的所有可能的实现方式并不限于应用在本申请实施例中第一比特数和第二比特数相等的情况下,还可以应用在第一比特数和第二比特数不相等的情况。
针对于上述方法流程,本申请中还可以包括如下步骤:
步骤300a,网络设备向终端设备发送第一消息,第一消息用于指示DCI中包括第一指示域。
步骤300b,终端设备从所述网络设备接收第一消息。
此处,第一消息可以为系统消息或广播消息。当第一消息中配置了上行增补载波时,第一消息指示DCI中包括第一指示域。在其它实施方式中,若第一消息中未配置上行增补载波,则第一消息可以指示DCI中包括第一指示域或者不包括第一指示域。
或者,第一消息也可以为网络设备发送给某一特定终端设备的高层信令。当第一消息中配置了终端设备支持动态调度上行载波的功能时,第一消息指示DCI中包括第一指示域。在其它实施方式中,当第一消息中未配置终端设备支持动态调度上行载波的功能时,第一消息可以指示DCI中包括第一指示域或者不包括第一指示域;此种情形下,第一消息可以指示一个固定的上行载波,或者,也可以是网络设备向终端设备发送的其它消息指示一个固定的上行载波,该固定的上行载波可以为第一上行载波或第二上行载波。举例说明,当该固定的上行载波为第一上行载波时,网络设备向终端设备发送的用于调度上行数据传输的DCI只能调度该终端设备在第一上行载波上发送上行数据。这种情况下,DCI中可以包括第一指示域也可以不包括第一指示域。当DCI中包括第一指示域时,该第一指示域的状态可以为固定状态,例如总是为0或者总是为1,当然也可以为随机状态,例如随机为0或1,此时终端设备可以不根据DCI中的第一指示域来确定上行载波,而直接确定第一上行载波用于发送上行数据。上述特征也适用于回退DCI。
针对于本申请中的DCI,需要说明的以下几点:
(1)DCI的比特数(即第一比特数或第二比特数)可以是由网络设备预先确定好的。具体来说,网络设备配置好第一上行载波和第二上行载波后,可根据第一上行载波和第二上行载波的带宽或子载波间隔或其他配置参数来确定DCI的比特数,后续网络设备可根据确定好的DCI的比特数来向终端设备发送DCI。
(2)本申请中的DCI可以为回退DCI,回退DCI可以理解为默认DCI或缺省状态下的DCI,或者理解为终端设备在小区公共搜索空间中检测的DCI,并不限定DCI的名称。接入网络设备的终端设备在符合特定条件(比如没有接收到网络设备通过RRC信令发送的配置信息),只能去检测回退DCI,并根据检测到的回退DCI向网络设备发送上行信号。本申请中,针对于回退DCI来说,由于第一比特数和第二比特数相等,从而能够有效保证网络设备在RRC重配过程中保持不变,避免出现网络设备和终端设备对DCI的比特数理解不一致的情况;其中,所述回退DCI可以是指专门用于上行调度的回退DCI,或者,也可以是下行调度和上行调度统一设计的回退DCI。
本申请中,若网络设备配置了上行增补载波,则网络设备发送的回退DCI中包括上述第一指示域(及上述第三指示域或第四指示域);若网络设备未配置上行增补载波,则网络设备发送的回退DCI中可以包括上述第一指示域(及上述第三指示域或第四指示域),或者,也可以不包括上述第一指示域(及上述第三指示域或第四指示域)。
本申请中,在网络设备给终端设备进行RRC配置或者重配置的过程中,网络设备给 终端设备发送的回退DCI的比特数保持不变,从而,终端设备可以在RRC配置或者重配置的过程中从网络设备接收回退DCI,并且可以按照一种DCI的比特数对DCI进行盲检测。这样能够使得终端设备在RRC配置或者重配的过程中,确定回退DCI的比特数,以对该回退DCI进行盲检测。
本申请中的DCI也可以为非回退DCI,即针对于某一特定终端设备的DCI。若网络设备为终端设备配置支持动态调度上行载波的功能,则网络设备发送给该终端设备的DCI中包括上述第一指示域(及上述第三指示域或第四指示域)。若网络设备为终端设备未配置支持动态调度上行载波的功能,则网络设备发送给该终端设备的DCI中可以包括上述第一指示域(及上述第三指示域或第四指示域),或者,也可以不包括上述第一指示域(及上述第三指示域或第四指示域)。
针对于网络设备为终端设备未配置支持动态调度上行载波的功能的情形,第一比特数和第二比特数可以相等,也可以不相等;第二指示域的比特数可以相等,也可以不相等。在一个示例中,当网络设备配置第一上行载波为PUSCH载波时,DCI的第二指示域的比特数第一上行载波的配置信息决定;当网络设备配置第二上行载波为PUSCH载波时,DCI的第二指示域的比特数由第二上行载波的配置信息决定。
本申请中,第一DCI的搜索空间和第二DCI的搜索空间可以相同,或者,也可以不相同,其中,第一DCI是指用于指示所述终端设备在所述第一上行载波上向所述网络设备发送上行信号的DCI,第二DCI是指用于指示所述终端设备在所述第二上行载波上向所述网络设备发送上行信号的DCI。
第一DCI的搜索空间与第一DCI调度的上行载波之间没有关联关系,也就是说,网络设备可以在第一搜索空间上向终端设备发送第一DCI或第二DCI;或者,网络设备可以在第一搜索空间上向终端设备发送第一DCI,在第二搜索空间上向终端设备发送第二DCI;又或者,网络设备可以在第二搜索空间上向终端设备发送第一DCI,在第一搜索空间上向终端设备发送第二DCI。
具体来说,对于回退DCI,第一DCI的搜索空间与第二DCI的搜索空间相同。对于非回退DCI,第一DCI的搜索空间与第二DCI的搜索空间可以相同,也可以不同。
针对上述方法流程,本申请还提供一种终端设备和网络设备,该终端设备和网络设备的具体实现可参照上述方法流程。
