Detailed ways

Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The following description refers to the same or similar elements in the different figures unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

The technical solution provided by the present disclosure is applicable to a new generation network, such as a 5G network. In order to better support services requiring high reliability and low latency, the NR system supports uplink scheduling (UP GF GF). The data transmission scheme, the user equipment can perform UL GF transmission using the semi-statically allocated periodic transmission time-frequency resources. In the UL GF transmission, the NR system supports the same physical layer transmission block in the same resource period (Transport Block) Multiple repeated transmissions, abbreviated as TB). The number of repeated transmissions K is configured by user-specific RRC signaling. When the number of repeated transmissions is K, the base station configures K transmission time-frequency resources for K times of repeated transmissions for the user equipment, but the actual number of transmissions of the user equipment may be Is a value less than the set transmission number K. In addition, in the NR discussion, for the downlink data transmission and the uplink data transmission based on the uplink scheduling, the K transmission repetition of one TB is also supported, so the actual transmission frequency may be a value smaller than the set transmission number K. In case, the technical solution provided by the present disclosure is applicable to a scenario that supports K times of repeated transmissions of one TB and the actual number of transmissions is less than K times.

1A is a flowchart of a data transmission method according to an exemplary embodiment, and FIG. 1B is a scene diagram of a data transmission method according to an exemplary embodiment; the data transmission method may be applied to a data transmission end. For example, as shown in FIG. 1A, the data transmission method includes the following steps 101-102:

In step 101, the target transmission power and/or the target transmission beam of the data block to be transmitted are determined based on the actual number of transmissions of the data block to be transmitted and the set number of transmissions.

In an embodiment, when the number of transmissions is set to K, if the actual number of transmissions of the data block to be transmitted is less than the set transmission number K, for example, when the initial transmission position is not the first one of the K time-frequency resources The time-frequency resource location (that is, the time-frequency resource used for the first repeated transmission) increases the transmission power used when data is repeatedly transmitted. When the user equipment is the data sending end, the sum of the original sending power and an offset may be calculated to obtain the target sending power, and the calculated target sending power may not exceed the maximum power of the user equipment; when the base station is the data sending end, The transmission power of the data block to be transmitted is transmitted to the receiving end (such as user equipment A) of the data block to be transmitted.

In an embodiment, the original transmission power is the transmission power when the actual transmission times are the same as the set transmission times. The original transmission power can be calculated based on the path loss, and the original transmission power can be used to obtain the original transmission power. Transmit power, and the offset used to calculate the target transmit power can be obtained in the following three ways.

Manner 1: The offset may be a fixed value. For example, when the actual number of transmissions is less than the set number of transmissions, the original transmission power is increased by 1 dB.

Manner 2: The offset may also be a semi-statically configured value. The value of the semi-static configuration may be configured by the base station based on information such as a specific value of the original transmit power and a maximum transmit power.

Manner 3: The offset may also be a value related to the predetermined number of repeated transmissions K and the actual number of repeated transmissions N of the user equipment. For example, the offset can be set to log2(N/K)dB, assuming that the original transmission power when performing K repeated transmissions is P _K , and the target transmission power when performing N repeated transmissions is P _N , when the data transmission end When it is a base station, P _N can be calculated by the formula (1).

In an embodiment, when the data sending end is a user equipment, the target sending power cannot exceed the maximum uplink sending power of the user equipment, and thus can be calculated by using Equation (2).

The P _{CMAX is} used to indicate the maximum transmit power of the user equipment, and thus it can be determined that the target transmit power does not exceed the maximum transmit power of the user equipment.

In an embodiment, based on the actual number of transmissions of the data block to be transmitted and the set number of transmissions, the width and direction of the transmission beam can be appropriately adjusted, and the implementation manner of determining the target transmission beam of the data block to be transmitted can be seen in FIG. 2A and FIG. 3A. The embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is not described in detail herein.

In step 102, the data block to be transmitted is transmitted by the target transmit beam and/or the target transmit power.

In an embodiment, when the actual number of transmissions of the data block to be transmitted is different from the set transmission number, the data block to be transmitted may be transmitted based on the target transmission power determined in step 101; in an embodiment, the data block to be transmitted When the actual number of transmissions is different from the set transmission number, the target transmission power determined in step 101 may be used to transmit the to-be-transmitted data block through the target transmission beam determined in step 101; in an embodiment, the actual transmission of the data block to be transmitted is performed. When the number of times is different from the set number of transmissions, the data block to be transmitted may be transmitted through the target transmission beam determined in step 101.

In an exemplary scenario, as shown in FIG. 1B, a mobile network is used as a new generation network, such as a 5G network, and the base station is a gNB as an example. In the scenario shown in FIG. 1B, gNB10 and UE20 are included. When the data block is transmitted between the gNB 10 and the UE 20, if the number of set transmissions of the data block is different from the actual number of transmissions, the reliability of the data transmission can be improved by increasing the target transmission power and/or adjusting the width of the transmission beam.

In this embodiment, by using the foregoing steps 101-102, the data sending end may adjust the target sending power and/or the target transmitting beam of the to-be-transmitted data block based on the actual number of transmissions of the data block to be transmitted and the set number of transmissions, for example, The actual number of transmissions of the data block is 4 times, and the number of transmissions is set to 8 times. In order to improve the transmission reliability of the data block to be transmitted, the transmission power of the data block to be transmitted may be increased, or the transmission of the data block to be transmitted may be adjusted. The width of the beam, for example by using a narrower transmit beam, yields a higher directional gain. Therefore, the technical solution of the present disclosure realizes that the data transmitting end improves the transmission reliability of the data block to be transmitted by adjusting the target transmitting power and/or the target transmitting beam when the actual number of transmissions is less than the set number of transmissions.

The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure are described below by using specific embodiments.

2A is a flowchart of another data transmission method according to an exemplary embodiment, and FIG. 2B is a schematic diagram of a transmission beam according to an exemplary embodiment. This embodiment utilizes the foregoing method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, when the location of the user equipment is relatively stable, how to determine the target transmission beam is taken as an example. The base station may perform the technical solution of the embodiment when the base station needs to repeatedly transmit a data block to the user equipment. When the user equipment needs to repeatedly transmit one data block to the base station, the technical solution of the embodiment is executed, and the target transmission beam determined by the embodiment is configured to the user equipment. As shown in FIG. 2A, the following steps are included:

In step 201, a difference between the set number of transmissions of the data block to be transmitted and the actual number of transmissions is calculated.

In step 202, the transmit beam adjustment parameter is determined according to the difference value range to which the difference belongs.

In an embodiment, the difference range may be more than one. For different difference ranges, different beam adjustment parameters may be corresponding. For example, the difference range has two, respectively, the first difference range and the second difference. Range, the first difference range is a range in which the difference is relatively small, and is used to indicate that the actual number of transmissions is less than the set transmission number, such as the first difference range is [1, 3], and the set transmission times is 8, the actual number of transmissions is 6, the difference is 2, indicating that the difference is in accordance with the first difference range; the second difference range can be a range where the difference is relatively large, that is, the difference included in the second difference range The value is greater than the difference included in the first difference range, and is used to indicate that the actual number of transmissions is different from the set transmission number, for example, the second difference range is [4, 6], and if the number of transmissions is set to 8, The actual number of transmissions is 4, and the difference is 4, indicating that the difference corresponds to the second difference range.

In an embodiment, the transmit beam adjustment parameters may be different according to different difference ranges. For example, referring to FIG. 2B, if the difference is relatively small, it belongs to a difference range with a small difference, and the transmit beam adjustment parameter is used. The width adjustment value of the transmission beam may be a relatively small first adjustment value. By calculating the difference between the width of the original transmission beam and the first adjustment value, a transmission beam having a relatively small width is obtained, so as to increase the directivity of the beam. Gain, and if the difference is relatively large, it belongs to a difference range with a relatively large difference, and the width adjustment value of the transmission beam in the transmission beam adjustment parameter may be a relatively large second adjustment value, by calculating the original transmission beam. The difference between the width and the second adjustment value is obtained as a transmission beam having a smaller width. As shown in FIG. 2B, beam 0 is the original transmission beam, and beam 1 is used to calculate the difference between the width of the original transmission beam and the first adjustment value. The obtained target transmission beam; and the beam 2 and the beam 3 are target transmission beams obtained by calculating the difference between the width of the original transmission beam and the second adjustment value, and the wave 2 and 3 the beam direction can be obtained based on the direction of the beam offset zero.

In an embodiment, after adjusting the width of the transmit beam, the obtained target transmit beam has a very narrow width, so that the data receiving end is within the range covered by the transmit beam, thereby causing low reliability of data reception at the data receiving end. The number of target transmit beams can be increased. For example, there is only one original transmit beam and two target transmit beams. The transmit directions of the two target transmit beams can be left and right respectively in the direction of the original transmit beam. Offset an angle to get.

In step 203, according to the adjustment parameter, the width of the original transmission beam is reduced, and the angle of the original transmission beam is adjusted to obtain a target transmission beam, and step 204 or step 205 is performed.

In an embodiment, the original transmit beam is a data transmission beam when the actual number of transmissions of the data block to be transmitted is the same as the set transmission number, and the number of original transmission beams is one or more, and the number of original transmission beams is less than or equal to the target. The number of transmit beams.

In an embodiment, by adjusting parameters, such as the first adjustment value and the second adjustment value described in step 202, reducing the width of the original transmission beam and adjusting the angle of the original transmission beam, the target transmission beam can be obtained.

In step 204, each of the repeated transmissions of the data block to be transmitted is performed by the target transmission beam when there is only one target transmission beam.

In an embodiment, if there is only one target transmit beam, the target transmit beam can be used for each repeated transmission of the data block in performing the actual number of transmissions.

For example, the width of the target transmit beam obtained in step 202 is not too small, and the location of the user equipment is relatively stable, so the direction of the target transmit beam may be consistent with the direction of the original transmit beam.

In step 205, when there are multiple target transmission beams, the transmission of the data block to be transmitted is performed using the target transmission beam based on the correspondence between each repeated transmission and the target transmission beam, and the correspondence is configured by the base station.

In an embodiment, when there are multiple target transmission beams, the correspondence between each repeated transmission and the target transmission beam may be based on, for example, if there are two target transmission beams, such as beam 2 and beam 3 in FIG. 2B. The beam 2 corresponds to the first and third repeated transmissions, and the beam 3 corresponds to the second and fourth repetition transmissions, and the first transmission may be performed each time the data block is repeatedly transmitted in the actual number of transmissions. The second and third repetitions of transmission use beam 2 to transmit data, and when the second and fourth repetitions are performed, beam 3 is used to transmit data.

In an embodiment, the correspondence between each repeated transmission and the target transmission beam may be previously agreed by the system, or may be semi-statically configured by the base station.

In this embodiment, an implementation manner in which a base station determines a target transmit beam when the location of the user equipment is relatively stable is disclosed. The base station can obtain a higher directional gain by reducing the width of the target transmit beam, thereby enhancing data transmission. Reliability.

FIG. 3A is a flowchart of another data transmission method according to an exemplary embodiment, and FIG. 3B is a schematic diagram of a transmission beam according to an exemplary embodiment. This embodiment utilizes the foregoing method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, the base station can be used to determine the target transmit beam when the location of the user equipment changes rapidly. The base station can perform the technical solution of the embodiment when the base station needs to repeatedly transmit a data block to the user equipment. When the user equipment needs to repeatedly transmit one data block to the base station, the technical solution of the embodiment is executed, and the target transmission beam determined by the embodiment is configured to be sent to the user equipment. As shown in FIG. 3A, the following steps are included:

In step 301, a difference between the set number of transmissions of the data block to be transmitted and the actual number of transmissions is calculated.

In step 302, the transmit beam adjustment parameter is determined according to the difference value range to which the difference belongs.

In an embodiment, the transmit beam adjustment parameters may be different according to different difference ranges. If the difference is relatively small and belongs to a difference range where the difference is relatively small, the width adjustment value of the transmit beam may be relatively small. If the third adjustment value is used, the sum of the width of the original transmission beam and the third adjustment value is calculated to obtain a transmission beam with a relatively small width to increase the coverage angle of the beam, and if the difference is relatively large, it belongs to a difference comparison. For a large difference range, the width adjustment value of the transmission beam may be relatively small. For the fourth adjustment value, the sum of the width of the original transmission beam and the fourth adjustment value may be calculated to obtain a transmission beam having a larger width.

In step 303, according to the adjustment parameter, the target transmission beam is obtained by increasing the width of the original transmission beam and adjusting the angle of the original transmission beam, and performing step 304 or 305.

In an embodiment, if the coverage angle of the transmit beam is increased according to the adjustment parameter, the width of the transmit beam is very wide. If more transmit beams are still used for transmitting data, the transmit beam overlap may be higher, so The transmit beam is appropriately reduced based on the number of original transmit beams. For example, there are 4 original transmit beams, and the target transmit beam may have two or even one. The transmit direction of the target transmit beam may pass through the original transmit beam. The direction is offset by an angle. Referring to FIG. 3B, it is assumed that the number of transmissions is set to four, and four original transmission beams are beam 0, beam 1, beam 2, and beam 3, respectively, performing the first, second, third, and third Used for four times of repeated transmission, and when the actual number of transmissions is 2, the width of the original transmission beam and the third adjustment value can be calculated by calculating the sum of the original transmission beam width and the third adjustment value, and the width of the target transmission beam 4 and the target transmission beam 5 can be obtained. The direction of the transmit beam is offset by an angle to obtain the direction of the target transmit beam 4 and the target transmit beam 5. When the actual number of transmissions is 1, the sum of the width of the original transmit beam and the fourth adjusted value can be calculated. The target transmits the width of the beam 6, and can be offset by an angle in the direction of the original transmit beam to obtain the direction of the target transmit beam 6.

In an embodiment, the original transmit beam is a data transmission beam when the actual number of transmissions of the data block to be transmitted is the same as the set transmission number. The number of original transmission beams is one or more, and the number of target transmission beams is less than or equal to the original. The number of transmit beams.

In step 304, each of the repeated transmissions of the data block to be transmitted is performed by the target transmission beam when there is only one target transmission beam.

In step 305, when there are multiple target transmission beams, the transmission of the data block to be transmitted is performed using the target transmission beam based on the correspondence between each repeated transmission and the target transmission beam, and the correspondence is configured by the base station.

In an embodiment, the description of step 304 and step 305 can be referred to the description of step 204 and step 205 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2A, which will not be described in detail herein.

In this embodiment, an implementation manner in which a base station determines a target transmit beam when a location of a user equipment moves relatively fast is disclosed. The base station can obtain a higher coverage angle by increasing the width of the target transmit beam, thereby enhancing data transmission. reliability.

The base station determines the transmit beam information and sends the transmit beam information to the user equipment by using the steps 301-303 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3A when determining that the location of the user equipment changes rapidly.

In step 402, a target transmission beam corresponding to the actual number of transmissions is selected from the configured transmission beam information.
