Description

移动通信系统中,无线衰落信道时变的特点导致通信过程存在不确定性。随着技术水平的发展和进步,链路自适应技术出现并开始广泛应用。所述链路自适应技术可以实现根据信道状态自适应地调节发射功率、调制编码方式以及数据的帧长等来克服信道的时变特性带来的不确定性,改善通信效果。
长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统中,接入网设备可以根据无线信道质量为物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel,PDSCH)选择不同的调制编码方式。一般来说,信道质量越好,调制阶数和编码速率越高。对于下行链路,接入网设备会以恒定功率发射下行参考信号。用户设备(User Equipment,UE)根据所述下行参考信号做下行链路信道质量估计,得到信道状态信息(Channel State Information,CSI),并通过所述信道状态信息得到对应的信道质量指示(Channel Quality Indicator,CQI)值,并向接入网设备上报CQI值。
例如,信道质量可以被量化成为CQI索引为0-15共16个等级,数值越大,等级越高,则信道质量越好;UE基于最优的秩指示和/或预编码矩阵指示计算出信号与干扰加噪声比(Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio,SINR);然后根据该SINR将估计的结果映射为16个等级中相应的CQI索引,并将CQI索引反馈给接入网设备。接入网设备根据UE上报的CQI索引和网络情况为UE分配调制编码方案(Modulation and Coding Scheme,MCS),所述MCS用于指示当前PDSCH采用的调制方式以及编码方式。
在LTE持续演进系统或者新无线(New Radio,NR)系统中,技术发展带来更多的传输需求,例如超可靠低时延(Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communication,URLLC)。在这种前提下,接入网设备需要UE针对相应的需求更精准地上报信道质量,那么如何实现更灵活、高效的信道状态信息请求以及信道状态上报以满足多种传输需求是亟需解决的技术问题。

本申请实施例中,“一个”意味着单个个体,并不代表只能是一个个体,不能应用于其他个体中。本申请中“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”,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。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
图1示出了本申请实施例中一种可能的应用场景示意图。该应用场景中的通信系统包括:接入网设备,以及一个或者多个终端设备。其中,接入网设备和终端设备可以通过一种或多种空口技术进行通信。
以下,对本申请实施例可能出现的术语进行解释。
通信系统:可以适用于LTE系统,或其他采用各种无线接入技术的无线通信系统,例如采用码分多址,频分多址,时分多址,正交频分多址,单载波频分多址等接入技术的系统。此外,还可以适用于使用LTE系统后续的演进系统,如第五代5G系统或者NR系统等。
接入网设备:可以是基站,或者接入点,或者网络侧设备,或者可以是指接入网中在空中接口上通过一个或多个扇区与无线终端通信的设备。接入网设备可用于将收到的空中帧与IP分组进行相互转换,作为无线终端与接入网的其余部分之间的路由器,其中接入网的其余部分可包括网际协议(IP)网络。接入网设备还可协调对空中接口的属性管理。例如,接入网设备可以是全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile communication,GSM)或码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)中的基站(Base Transceiver Station,BTS),也可以是宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,WCDMA)中的基站(NodeB,NB),还可以是长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)中的演进型基站(Evolutional Node B,eNB或eNodeB),或者中继站或接入点,或者未来5G网络中的基站,例如gNB等,在此并不限定。需要说明的是,对于5G或NR系统,在一个NR基站下,可能存在一个或多个发送接收点(Transmission Reception Point,TRP),所有的TRP属于同一个小区,其中,每个TRP和终端都可以使用本申请实施例所述的测量上报方法。在另一种场景下,接入网设备还可以分为控制单元(Control Unit,CU)和数据单元(Data Unit,DU),在一个CU下,可以存在多个DU,其中,每个DU和终端都可以使用本申请实施例所述的测量上报方法。CU-DU分离场景和多TRP场景的区别在于,TRP只是一个射频单元或一个天线设备,而DU中可以实现协议栈功能,例如DU中可以实现物理层功能。
终端设备:可以是无线终端也可以是有线终端,无线终端可以是指向用户提供语音和/或其他业务数据连通性的设备,具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备。无线终端可以经无线接入网(Radio Access Network,RAN)与一个或多个核心网进行通信,无线终端可以是移动终端,如移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)和具有移动终端的计算机,例如,可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置,它们与无线接入网交换语言和/或数据。例如,个人通信业务(Personal Communication Service,PCS)电话、无绳电话、会话发起协议(Session Initiation Protocol,SIP)话机、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop,WLL)站、个人数字助理(Personal Digital  Assistant,PDA)等设备。无线终端也可以称为系统、订户单元(Subscriber Unit)、订户站(Subscriber Station),移动站(Mobile Station)、移动台(Mobile)、远程站(Remote Station)、远程终端(Remote Terminal)、接入终端(Access Terminal)、用户终端(User Terminal)、用户代理(User Agent)、用户设备(User Device or User Equipment),在此不作限定。
载波:频域上的物理资源,对于终端设备来说,一般称为成员载波(Component Carrier,CC),一个成员载波即为一个服务小区(serving cell)的频域资源。
带宽区域:Bandwidth Part(BWP),频域连续的多个物理资源块,一般由接入网设备为终端设备配置。终端设备在BWP内接收或发送数据。以控制资源传输为例,在一个BWP内包括至少一个控制资源集合,且控制资源集合包括的频域资源不超过BWP在频域上包括的多个物理资源块。
高层信令:区分于物理层信令,可以为主信息块(Master Information Block,MIB),系统信息块(System Information Block,SIB),或无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令,或其他具有类似特征的高层信令。
信道状态信息:通信链路的信道属性。例如,它可以描述信号在每条传输路径上的衰弱因子,即信道增益矩阵中每个元素的值,如信号散射(Scattering),环境衰弱(fading,multipath fading or shadowing fading),距离衰减(power decay of distance)等信息。作为示例而非限定,在本申请实施例中信道状态信息可以包括但不限于以下一种或多种信息:
1.信道质量指示(CQI)信息
CQI可以用来反映信道质量,例如物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel,PDSCH)。作为示例而非限定,在本申请实施例中,可以用0-N来表示信道质量。0表示信道质量最差,N表示信道质量最好,N为正整数,例如15。
2.秩指示(Rank Indication,RI)信息
RI信息可以用于指示信道的有效的数据层数,或者说,RI信息可以用于指示终端设备当前可以支持的码字(Code Word,CW)数。
3.预编码矩阵指示(Precoding Matrix Indicator,PMI)信息
PMI信息可以用于指示码本集合的索引(index)。即,在使用多天线技术,例如,多输入多输出(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output,MIMO)技术中,在信道物理层的基带处理中,会进行基于预编码矩阵的预编码处理(precoding)。例如,终端设备可以通过PMI信息指示预编码矩阵量。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以在物理上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel,PUCCH)或物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,PUSCH)上向接入网设备发送信道状态信息。接入网设备可以根据信道状态信息,确定当前PDSCH或PUSCH的无线信道条件,进而完成针对PDSCH的调度,例如,接入网设备可以基于信道状态信息确定自适应编码调制(Adaptive Modulation and Coding,AMC)、调制与编码策略(Modulation and Coding Scheme,MCS)、上行传输或下行传输的码率或数据量等。
进一步地,上述接入网设备的一种可能的结构示意图可以如图2所示。该接入网设备102能够执行本申请实施例提供的方法。其中,该接入网设备102可以包括:控制器或处 理器201(下文以处理器201为例进行说明)以及收发器202。控制器/处理器201有时也称为调制解调器处理器(modem processor)。调制解调器处理器201可包括基带处理器(baseband processor,BBP)(未示出),该基带处理器处理经数字化的收到信号以提取该信号中传达的信息或数据比特。如此,BBP通常按需或按期望实现在调制解调器处理器201内的一个或多个数字信号处理器(digital signal processor,DSP)中或实现为分开的集成电路(integrated circuit,IC)。

在本申请实施例中,发送下行(上行)信道可以是指发送下行(上行)信道上承载的数据或信息,其中,该数据或信息可以是指经过信道编码后的数据或信息。
LTE系统中存在两种CSI上报方式:周期性和非周期CSI上报。周期性CSI上报时 刻通过高层信令配置,UE通过物理上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel,PUCCH)上报;非周期CSI上报是基站主动请求上报CSI,例如,通过在下行控制信息承载的信道状态请求信息,例如请求域(1-5个比特)实现,UE通过PUSCH上报CSI给基站。可选的,对于非周期CSI报告,下行控制信息中包含2比特的请求域,用来指示根据高层信令上报相应资源的CSI。所述高层信令用于指示终端设备根据相应的CQI表格上报CQI。预定义的CQI表格可以包含以下表1和/或表2,其中表1最高支持的调制方式为64QAM,表2最高支持的调制方式为256QAM。这里需要说明的是,本申请实施例中后续可能涉及到的参数值组合以表格形式体现时,如以下表格中每一行所包含的一组值称为一组参数值组合。

表2
LTE演进系统或者NR系统中提出了新的技术,而新的技术面临更多样的需求。例如URLLC存在多种不同的可靠性需求:目标误块率(Block Error Rate,BLER)为10-4和10-5;又如,无论LTE还是NR系统,都面临更多不同的用例或者更多的天线配置等,这使得UE获得了更大的SINR范围来做CSI测量。较高的SINR值能够支持较高的调制方式,不同的SINR区间支持的调制方式范围可能存在区别,例如SINR的不同范围[-8 0]和 [-8,18]可以支持不同的调制方式范围,最高支持64QAM或者最高支持256QAM;不同的用例也可能在不同的SINR区间。这些新的技术或新的需求带来了CQI表格的多样性,并提高了信道状态信息请求和上报的复杂性,也对接入网设备和UE之间针对特定的信道状态请求和上报提出了更高的要求。因此,高层信令配置方式无法满足在新系统带来更新、更多需求的前提下,接入网设备和终端设备依然能灵活、精准的进行信道状态请求和上报的需求。
本申请实施例提供一种通信方法,在该方法中,终端设备从接入网设备接收下行控制信息,所述下行控制信息包含信道状态请求信息,所述信道状态请求信息用于请求信道状态信息;所述终端设备根据所述下行控制信息,确定多组参数值组合中的至少一组参数值组合,所述参数值组合为信道配置参数的参数值组合;所述终端设备根据所述至少一组参数值组合,获取第一信道状态信息,所述第一信道状态信息用于指示所述至少一组参数值组合中的一组参数值组合;所述接入网设备根据所述第一信道状态信息进行下行数据的发送。根据本申请实施例所提供的方法,接入网设备可以通过下行控制信息指示终端设备进行信道状态信息的确定和上报,提高了系统的处理效率,同时提高了信道状态反馈的灵活性和准确性。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例涉及的“第一”、“第二”等表述方式不代表在顺序上的限定,仅为了方便表述或标识不同的信息而使用。另外,本申请实施例涉及的“预先定义或者配置”,可以为标准或协议中规定的,也可以是接入网设备预先确定的,并根据需要通知给终端设备。

本申请实施例中,在所述步骤401之前还包括步骤400:接入网设备从多组参数值组合中确定所述至少一组参数值组合。所述多组参数值组合的解释参见上文的阐述。
其中,所述至少一组参数值组合可以为所述多组参数值组合的第一子集。所述多组参数值组合可以包含多个子集,所述子集由所述多组参数值组合中的一组或多个参数值组合组成。所述多个子集的划分可以根据资源组合和/或传输特性进行划分。其中,所述资源组合是接入网设备进行信道状态请求所对应的资源组合,所述传输特性是终端设备确定并上报或反馈信道状态信息所依据的传输特性,所述传输特性可以包含但不限于误块率(Block Error Rate,BLER)、调制方式范围等中的一个或多个。所述资源组合可以包含一个或多个资源,所述传输特性可以包含一个或多个传输特性。
需要说明的是,这里的划分只是一种逻辑的划分。根据对应的不同资源组合和/或传输特性,所述多组参数值组合可以以不同的对应方式或者对应规则进行划分,以得到各自包含多个子集的多种不同的集合。即,所述多个子集对应于相同或不同的资源组合和/或一个或多个传输特性,并非进行了实际的划分,而是作为多个候选子集供接入网设备根据实际通信的需要进行选择。例如,子集1和子集2对应不同的资源组合,以及相同的第一传输特性和/或不同的第二传输特性等;又如,子集1和子集2对应相同的资源组合、不同的传输特性。所述对应方式或者对应规则可以是预先定义或者配置的,例如标准或协议中规定的。
第一种可选的设计中,根据资源组合对所述多组参数值组合进行划分,即所述多组参数值组合包含多个子集,所述多个子集中每个子集对应于相应的资源组合,或者,所述多个子集分别对应不同的资源组合,对应关系可以是预先定义或者配置的。所述资源组合的类型可以为载波组合、载波BWP组合以及CSI进程等其它可能的资源组合中的任一种。对于所述CSI进程,当链路自适应在接入网设备侧执行时,通常需要基于终端设备侧所提供的CSI报告进行链路自适应。为了实现协作的链路自适应,接入网设备侧将邻传输点(即相邻接入网设备)的数据传输决策纳入到速率选择的考虑因素当中,那么终端设备需要提 供多份CSI报告分别对应于多个传输点数据传输决策,则对应于上述多份CSI报告的进程称为CSI进程。以下将以举例的方式对本申请实施例进行解释。
第一种实现中,根据载波组合对所述多组参数值组合进行划分。
具体的,所述多个子集分别对应于不同的载波组合。例如,子集1对应第一载波组合,子集2对应于第二载波组合,所述第一载波组合和第二载波组合不同。其中,一个载波组合包含一个或多个载波。

第三种实现中,根据CSI进程组合对所述多组参数值组合进行划分。
具体的,所述多个子集分别对应于不同的CSI进程组合。例如,子集1对应于第一组CSI进程,子集2对应于第二组CSI进程。所述第一组CSI进程和第二组CSI进程不同。其中,一组CSI进程包含一个或多个CSI进程。
第二种可选的设计中,根据传输特性对所述多组参数值组合进行划分,即所述多组参数值组合包含多个子集,所述多个子集每个子集对应于相应的传输特性值,或者,所述多个子集分别对应不同的传输特性值,所述对应关系是预先定义或者配置的。所述传输特性可以为误块率(Block Error Rate,BLER)、调制方式范围等中的一个或多个。可选的,BLER值可以为10 -4、10 -5或者更低的值;调制方式范围可以为最高支持64QAM、256QAM或者更高的调制方式,这里不对传输特性的值做具体的限定,现有技术中的传输特性以及未来的LTE演进系统或NR系统中可能的传输特性以及对应的传输特性值均可以用于本申请实施例。
下面以传输特性为BLER和/或调制方式范围为例进行阐述,不作为对本申请实施例中传输特性的具体限定,其它可能的传输特性仍然属于本申请实施例保护的范围。
第一种实现中,所述传输特性为一个第一传输特性,例如BLER或调制方式范围。不同的第一传输特性值对应相同或不同的子集,所述第一传输特性值与子集的对应关系可以是预先定义或配置的。
以第一传输特性为BLER值为例,若BLER1值为10 -4,BLER2值为10 -5,根据预先定义或配置的规则,所述多组参数值组合中的子集1对应于BLER1,子集2对应于BLER2:
可选的,所述子集1和子集2可以包含一组或多组相同的参数值组合,但是子集1和子集2不相同。进一步的,所述子集1和子集2可以对应相同或不同的第二传输特性。例如,子集1和子集2支持的调制方式范围相同。
以第一传输特性为调制方式范围为例,若第一范围为最高支持64QAM,第二范围为最高支持256QAM,根据预先定义或配置的规则,所述多组参数值组合中的子集1对应于第一范围,子集2对应于第二范围:
可选的,所述所述子集1和子集2可以包含一组或多组相同的参数值组合,但是子集1和子集2不相同。进一步的,所述子集1和子集2可以对应相同或不同的第二传输特性。例如,子集1和子集2对应的BLER值相同。
第二种实现中,所述传输特性为多个传输特性,则用于划分子集的为多个传输特性值的组合,例如第一和第二传输特性值的组合。传输特性值组合与子集的对应关系可以是预先定义或配置的。
以传输特性值组合为BLER值和调制方式范围为例,结合第一种可选的设计中对BLER值和调制方式范围的解释可知,所述多组参数值组合可以包含四个子集,子集1对应于BLER1和第一范围,子集2对应于BLER1和第二范围,子集3对应于BLER2和第一范围,子集4对应于BLER2和第二范围。其中,子集1、2、3、4为不完全相同的4个子集,这里的不完全相同是指至少存在两个不相同的子集。这里需要说明的是,在存在第三传输特性用于与第一和第二传输特性组合进一步用于子集划分的前提下,子集1、2、3、4仍然可以为相同的子集。
第三种可选的设计中,根据资源组合和传输特性对所述多组参数值组合进行划分,即所述多组参数值组合包含多个子集,所述多个子集对应于相应的资源组合和传输特性,或者,所述多个子集分别对应不同的组合,所述组合为资源组合和传输特性的组合,所述对应关系是预先定义或配置的。具体的,所述多个子集分别对应不同的资源组合和传输特性的组合表示每个子集对应的资源组合和传输特性的组合不同于所述多个子集中的其它子集。
在该可选的设计中,所述资源组合和传输特性的含义和解释参见上述第一和第二可选的设计,这里不再赘述。根据上述阐述可知,在存在可用于划分多组参数值组合的多种可能的类型的资源组合以及划分多组参数值组合的多种可能的传输特性的前提下,以资源组合和传输特性为组合进行子集的划分存在多种可能的实现,这里不再一一列举,仅以下面几种可能的实现为例进行阐述,不作为对该可选的设计的可能实施方式的具体限定,例如涉及具体资源类型的特征可以用任意一种或多种资源类型的组合替代,涉及具体传输特性的特征可以用任意一种或多种传输特性替代。

可选的,所述第一子集对应于第一误块率BLER以及第二误块率BLER,所述第一BLER和第二BLER的值不同;进一步可选的,所述第一子集还可以同时对应于多种不同的载波组合或资源组合。
例如,所述多组参数值组合至少包含子集1和子集2。其中,子集1对应于第一载波组合以及BLER1,则子集2可以对应于第二载波组合以及BLER1,或者,对应于第一载波组合和BLER2。可选的,所述子集1还可以同时对应于第三载波组合以及BLER2。所述第三载波组合不同于所述第一载波组合和第二载波组合。
这里需要说明的是,上述三种可选的设计中举例性说明的部分所涉及到的具体的资源组合和/或传输特性均可以用其它可能的资源组合类型或传输特性替代。本申请实施例部 分限于篇幅原因,未对所有可能的实现方式进行一一列举,但是所有可替代或替换的方式均在本申请实施例的范围之内。例如,载波组合可以替换为载波BWP组合,BLER可以替换为调制方式范围等。

进一步,若所述多组参数值组合在一个表格或者多个表格中或者类似的方式(这里类似的方式是指其它可以体现所述多组参数值组合,并可以提供所述多组参数值组合的分组和顺序关系的方式)定义或者体现。为阐述方便,下面均以表格方式为例。
若所述多组参数值组合对应一个表格,则所述下行控制信息指示所述终端设备获取所述表格中的至少一组参数值组合,例如,所述下行控制信息指示的为所述至少一组参数值组合在所述多组参数值组合,即所述表格,中的位置信息,所述位置信息包含以下中的一个或多个:从所述多组参数值组合中获取所述至少一组参数值组合的起始位置;所述至少一组参数值组合在所述多组参数值中的分布信息,所述分布信息用于指示所述至少一组参数值组合为所述多组参数值中等间隔或不等间隔分布的至少一组参数值组合,可选的,还可以包含间隔值;以及所述至少一组参数值组合中包含的参数值组合的组数。这里需要说明的是,所述位置信息中的任一项或多项也可以通过是预先定义或配置的,不需要指示,终端设备能够预先确定,例如,预先定义所述组数为一个常数,如16等。
进一步,所述位置信息的指示可以为隐式或者显示的指示;在隐式指示的情况下,所述位置信息与所述下行控制信息的指示存在对应关系,所述对应关系是预先定义或配置的,终端设备在接收到所述下行控制信息后,根据所述下行控制信息的指示确定所述至少一组参数值组合,并进一步根据所述至少一组参数值组合与上文中阐述的资源组合和/或传输特性的对应关系,确定需要上报或反馈信道状态的资源组合,和/或所依据的传输特性;在显示指示的情况下,可以通过所述下行控制信息指示具体的位置信息,以使得所述 终端设备通过所述位置信息确定所述至少一组参数值组合。
若所述多组参数值组合对应多个表格,且所述多组参数值组合的每个子集分别对应于至少一个表格,则所述下行控制信息需要指示所述终端设备获取所述多个表格中的至少一个表格,所述至少一个表格对应于所述至少一组参数值组合,例如可以指示相应表格的索引,或者其他可能的信息。其中,所述下行控制信息的指示与所述至少一组参数值组合(例如与相应表格的索引或者其他可能的信息)的对应关系是预先定义或配置的,则所述终端设备根据所述对应关系确定所述至少一组参数值组合对应的至少一个表格。
