Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a candidate channel mapping method, apparatus, base station, terminal, and storage medium.
- downlink control information is carried by a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).
- PDCH Physical Downlink Control Channel
- the base station selects at least one PDCCH candidate among the plurality of PDCCH candidates as the final PDCCH channel.
- the terminal does not know which of the multiple PDCCH candidates the base station selects which PDCCH candidate is the final PDCCH channel. Therefore, the terminal needs to try PDCCH demodulation and decoding one by one among a plurality of PDCCH candidates.
- each PDCCH candidate is usually distributed on one or more aggregation levels (AL), and for each aggregation level, usually includes multiple PDCCH candidates.
- the aggregation level refers to the number of Control Channel Elements (CCEs) included in one PDCCH candidate. For example, if the aggregation level is 4, then each PDCCH candidate at the aggregation level is composed of 4 CCEs. It can be seen from the foregoing description that the more the number of PDCCH candidates, the more the number of PDCCH candidates that the terminal needs to detect blindly, and therefore, the more the number of CCEs that need channel estimation.
- a set of search spaces which are mainly used to determine which aggregation levels the PDCCH can use, and the number of PDCCH candidates at a specific aggregation level, and the PDCCH period and the time domain location. And other information.

- the number of PDCCH candidates on each search space and/or the number of CCEs that need to perform channel estimation may exceed the capabilities supported by User Equipment (UE).
- UE User Equipment
- a feasible idea is to filter and reserve PDCCH candidates in one slot, so that the number of PDCCH candidates finally reserved on one slot and/or the CCEs that are finally reserved for channel estimation are required.

Description
本公开要求在2018年05月11日提交中国专利局、申请号为201810451265.1的中国专利申请的优先权,该申请的全部内容通过引用结合在本公开中。
本公开涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种候选信道映射方法、装置、基站、终端及存储介质。
在LTE(Long Term Evolution,长期演进)和5G NR中,下行控制信息通过物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)承载。通常情况下,基站会在多个PDCCH候选中至少选择一个PDCCH候选作为最终的PDCCH信道。终端并不知道基站在这多个PDCCH候选中,最终选择的是哪个/哪些PDCCH候选作为最终的PDCCH信道。因此,终端需要在多个PDCCH候选中逐一尝试PDCCH解调和译码。
对于上述多个PDCCH候选,通常分布在一个或多个聚合级别(Aggregation level,AL)上,并且,对于每个聚合级别,通常包含多个PDCCH候选。需要知晓的是,聚合级别是指一个PDCCH候选包含的控制信道单元(Control Channel Element,CCE)的数目。例如,如果聚合级别为4,那么该聚合级别上的每个PDCCH候选都是由4个CCE组成的。从前述描述可以看出,PDCCH候选数目越多,终端需要盲检测的PDCCH候选数目就越多,因此,需要信道估计的CCE数目也就越多。
事实上与PDCCH相关的定义中,存在搜索空间集合这一定义,搜索空间集合主要用于确定PDCCH可以使用那些聚合级别,以及在特定的聚合级别上的PDCCH候选数目,以及PDCCH周期和时域位置等信息。一个搜索空间集合中可以包括多个PDCCH候选,而不同的搜索空间集合其周期也可以不同,这就使得可能存在多个搜索空间集合位于同一个时隙上的情况,例如参见图1所示,时隙11位置和时隙12位置即同时存在有搜索空间集合1和搜索空间集合2。但是当多个搜索空间集合位于同一个时隙上时,该时隙上总的PDCCH候选数目将会明显增加,因此PDCCH的盲检测数目,以及需要进行信道估计CCE的数目也会明显增加。从而,各个搜索空间上的PDCCH候选数目和/或需要进行信道估计的CCE数目,可能会超出用户设备(User equipment,UE)支持的能力范围之外。而为解决这一问题,一种可行的思路是对一个时隙内的PDCCH候选进行 筛选保留,从而使得一个时隙上最终保留的PDCCH候选的数目和/或最终保留的需要进行信道估计的CCE数目处于UE支持的能力范围之内。基于这一可行思路,就需要提供一种行之有效的对PDCCH候选进行筛选保留的机制。

下面通过具体实施方式结合附图对本公开实施例作进一步详细说明。
实施例一:
参见图2所示,图2为本公开实施例一提供的基站侧的一种候选信道映射方法的基本流程示意图,包括:
S201:确定终端的用户特定搜索空间集合。
在本实施例中,用户特定搜索空间集合包含第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和/或第二套用户特定搜索空间集合。
在本实施例中,第一套用户特定搜索空间集合应当包含有一个或多个第一用户特定搜索空间集合;第二套用户特定搜索空间集合应当包含有一个或多个第二用户特定搜索空间集合。
其中,在确定一个用户特定搜索空间集合为第一用户特定搜索空间集合还是为第二用户特定搜索空间集合时,可以遵循以下两种规则来进行确定:
其一:将在一个时隙内PDCCH监测时刻的数目等于1的用户特定搜索空间集合确定为第一用户特定搜索空间集合;将在一个时隙内PDCCH监测时刻的数目大于1的用户特定搜索空间集合确定为第二用户特定搜索空间集合。
其二:将在一个时隙内PDCCH监测时刻的数目等于1或PDDCH监测周期大于1个时隙的用户特定搜索空间集合确定为第一用户特定搜索空间集合;将在一个时隙内PDCCH监测时刻的数目大于1,且PDDCH监测周期等于1个时隙的用户特定搜索空间集合确定为第二用户特定搜索空间集合。
例如参见图3所示,图3中包含一个公共搜索空间集合(Common search space set,CSS set)和三个用户特定搜索空间集合(UE specific search space set, USS set)。其中:用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 1包含两个PDCCH监测时刻,即occasion 0和occasion 1,PDCCH监测时刻的数目大于1,因此USS set 1对应属于第二套用户特定搜索空间集合32;而用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 2和用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3仅包含一个PDCCH监测时刻,即occasion 0,因此USS set 2和USS set 3对应属于第一套用户特定搜索空间集合31。即图3中第一套用户特定搜索空间集合包含用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 2和用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3,第二套用户特定搜索空间集合包含用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 1。
这里需要说明的是,基站除了会为终端配置用户特定搜索空间集合外,还会配置公共搜索空间集合。通常而言,基站会先配置公共搜索空间集合,然后才配置用户特定搜索空间集合。通常而言,公共搜索空间集合中的所有PDCCH候选均会被映射,所有公共搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选映射,在用户特定搜索空间集合的PDCCH映射之前进行。
应当理解的是,本实施例中所述的映射即是指的选择。例如在公共搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选即是指的:在公共搜索空间集合中选择出最终要保留的PDCCH候选。
还需要说明的是,一个用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选可以包括一个或一个以上聚合级别的PDCCH候选。例如图3中USS set 1在PDCCH监测时刻occasion 0和occasion1上,均分别包含2个聚合级别为1(即AL为1)的PDCCH候选和4个聚合级别为2(即AL为2)的PDCCH候选。应当明晰的是,一个聚合级别为1的PDCCH候选是由1个控制信道单元CCE组成,而一个聚合级别为2的PDCCH候选,由2个CCE组成。相对应的,一个聚合级别为4的PDCCH候选是由4个控制信道单元CCE组成。
在实际应用中,基站为终端配置用户特定搜索空间集合可能存在以下实际情况:其一:受基站实际情况的限制,某些基站为其归属终端配置的用户特定搜索空间集合属于第一套用户特定搜索空间集合,而某些基站为其归属的终端配置的特定搜索空间集合属于第二套用户特定搜索空间集合。其二:一个基站可以同时为多个终端配置多个用户特定搜索空间集合,此时基站可以根据配置需求给某些终端配置第一套用户特定搜索空间集合,给某些终端配置第二套用户特定搜索空间集合,给某些终端同时配置第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和第二套用户特定搜索空间集合;其三:基站为每一个终端配置的多个用户特定搜索空间集合,都包含有第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和第二套用户特定搜索空间集合。综上,在本实施例中,基站为终端配置用户特定搜索空间集合的具体情况实质有三种,即分别是仅为终端配置第一套用户特定搜索空间集合;或者 仅为终端配置第二套用户特定搜索空间集合;或者,同时为所述终端配置第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和第二套用户特定搜索空间集合。
S202:使用第一选择规则在第一套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选;使用第二选择规则在第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。
应当理解的是,本实施例中最终映射的PDCCH候选即是最终保留的PDCCH候选。映射的PDCCH候选可以用于承载下行控制信息。
在本实施例中,第一选择规则包括:在从第一套用户特定搜索空间集合中的第一用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选时,将第一用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选全部映射,或者将第一用户特定搜索空间集合中的所有PDCCH候选全部不映射。例如以图3中的USS set 2为例,则要么将USS set 2中的两个PDCCH候选全部映射,要么就将USS set 2中的两个PDCCH候选全部放弃,即都不映射。
在本实施例中,第二选择规则包括:在从第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选时,第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据下述方式中的至少一种进行映射:
方式一:第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引的顺序映射。
具体的,第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引由大到小的顺序映射;例如参见图4所示:按照PDCCH监测时刻索引occasion3-occasion0的顺序依次映射,图4中,1、2、3、4分别为对应PDCCH候选集合的编号,该编号反应映射顺序,映射时按编号由低到高依次映射。
或者,第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引由小到大的顺序映射;例如参见图5所示:按照PDCCH监测时刻索引occasion0-occasion1的顺序依次映射。图5中,1、2、3、4分别为对应PDCCH候选集合的编号,该编号反应映射顺序,映射时按编号由低到高依次映射。
或者,第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序映射。例如参见图6所示:按照PDCCH监测时刻索引occasion0-occasion2-occasion1-occasion3的顺序依次映射,图6中,1、2、3、4分别为对应PDCCH候选集合的编号,该编号反应映射顺序,映射时按编号由低到高依次映射。
值得注意的是,在根据PDCCH监测时刻索引的顺序进行映射时,可以将一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,才会映射下一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的所有PDCCH候选。
方式二:第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引的顺序映射。
应当理解的是,一个PDCCH监测时刻包括1个或多个PDCCH时域符号,不同PDCCH监测时刻的PDCCH起始符号不同,不同PDCCH候选监测时刻之间可以存在重叠的PDCCH时域符号。
在方式二中,其具体的实现方式与方式一类似。具体的,第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引由大到小的顺序映射;或者,第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引由小到大的顺序映射;或者,第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引交织的顺序映射。
值得注意的是,在根据PDCCH起始符号索引的顺序进行映射时,可以将一个PDCCH起始符号索引对应的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,才会映射下一个PDCCH起始符号索引对应的所有PDCCH候选。
方式三:第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别的顺序映射。
具体的,第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别由高到低的顺序映射。在进行映射时,可以先将一个聚合级别映射对应的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一聚合级别对应的所有PDCCH候选。例如参见图7所示,在映射时,先映射AL为4的PDCCH候选,再映射AL为2的PDCCH候选,最后映射AL为1的PDCCH候选。
在本实施例中,还可以同时采用方式一和方式三从第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。具体的,可以根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别由高到低的顺序,依次在不同聚合级别中映射PDCCH候选;在进行映射时,将一个聚合级别映射对应的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一聚合级别对应的所有PDCCH候选。应当注意的是,在同一聚合级别中,根据所述聚合级别中的所有PDCCH候选对应的PDCCH监测时刻索引,按照PDCCH监测时刻索引由大到小的顺序,或者按照PDCCH监测时刻索引由小到大的顺序,或者按照PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序,映射所述聚合级别中的PDCCH候选;在同一聚合级别的PDCCH候选进行映射时,将一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的该聚合级别的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的该聚合级别的所有PDCCH候选。
例如参见图8所示,该第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选有两个AL级别,分别为AL2和AL1,则先映射AL2,再映射AL1。在级别为AL2的 PDCCH候选中,又按照PDCCH监测时刻索引由小到大的顺序映射,在级别为AL1的PDCCH候选中,又按照PDCCH监测时刻索引由小到大的顺序映射,图8中,1-8分别为对应PDCCH候选集合的编号,该编号反应映射顺序,映射时按编号由低到高依次选择。又例如参见图9所示,该第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选有两个AL级别,分别为AL2和AL1,则先映射AL2,再映射AL1。在级别为AL2的PDCCH候选中,又按照PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序映射,在级别为AL1的PDCCH候选中,又按照PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序映射,图9中,1-8分别为对应PDCCH候选集合的编号,该编号反应映射顺序,映射时按编号由低到高依次选择。
在本实施例中,还可以同时采用方式二和方式三从第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。与同时采用方式一和方式三从第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选类似的,可以根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别由高到低的顺序,依次在不同聚合级别中映射PDCCH候选;在进行映射时,将一个聚合级别映射对应的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一聚合级别对应的所有PDCCH候选;而在同一聚合级别中,根据聚合级别中的所有PDCCH候选对应的PDCCH起始符号索引,按照PDCCH起始符号索引由大到小的顺序,或者按照PDCCH起始符号索引由小到大的顺序,或者按照PDCCH起始符号索引交织的顺序,映射所述聚合级别中的PDCCH候选;在同一聚合级别的PDCCH候选进行映射时,将一个PDCCH起始符号索引对应的该聚合级别的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一个PDCCH起始符号索引对应的该聚合级别的所有PDCCH候选。
在本实施例中,第二选择规则还可以是:将第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选划分为第一套PDCCH候选和第二套PDCCH候选,进而使用第三选择规则在第一套PDCCH候选中映射PDCCH候选;使用第四选择规则在第二套PDCCH候选中映射PDCCH候选。
具体的,在本实施例中,可以按照以下方式来划分第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的第一套PDCCH候选和第二套PDCCH候选:
对于第一套PDCCH候选可以通过以下方式选取:
1.可以根据PDCCH监测时刻索引顺序从第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中选择出第一套PDCCH候选。
具体的,可以从所述PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中,选择n(n大于等于1)个PDCCH候选构成第一套PDCCH候选。例如,参见图10所示,在occasion0-occasion3中分别选取了一个PDCCH候选,即图10中的被独立出来的四个PDCCH候选(编号1-4的四个PDCCH 候选),则这四个PDCCH即为第一套PDCCH候选。应当理解的是,此时在occasion0-occasion3中选取的PDCCH候选所对应的聚合级别没有要求,可以是任意聚合级别的。
2.可以根据PDCCH监测时刻索引和PDCCH候选的聚合级别从第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中选择出第一套PDCCH候选。
具体的,可以从所述PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中,选择n(n大于等于1)个聚合级别最高的PDCCH候选构成第一套PDCCH候选。例如,仍旧参见图10所示,occasion0-occasion3中对应的最大聚合级别均为AL2,则在occasion0-occasion3中分别选取了一个AL2级别的PDCCH候选,即图10中occasion0-occasion3中被独立出来的AL2级别的四个PDCCH(编号1-4的四个PDCCH候选),则这四个PDCCH即为第一套PDCCH候选。
3.可以根据PDCCH起始符号索引从第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中选择出第一套PDCCH候选。
具体的,与上述1类似,可以从所述PDCCH起始符号索引对应的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中,选择n(n大于等于1)个PDCCH候选构成第一套PDCCH候选。应当理解的是,此时在各PDCCH起始符号索引对应的PDCCH候选中选取的PDCCH候选所对应的聚合级别没有要求,可以是任意聚合级别的。
4.可以根据PDCCH起始符号索引和PDCCH候选的聚合级别从第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中选择出第一套PDCCH候选。
具体的,与上述2类似,可以从所述PDCCH起始符号索引对应的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中,选择n(n大于等于1)个聚合级别最高的PDCCH候选构成第一套PDCCH候选。
在本实施的一种具体实施方式中,n可以取1或2。
对于第二套PDCCH候选,可以将第二用户特定搜索空间集合中除第一套PDCCH候选之外的其余PDCCH候选作为第二套PDCCH候选。例如参见图10所示,除去第一套PDCCH候选中的四个PDCCH之外剩余的所有PDCCH即构成了第二套PDCCH候选。
在本实施例中,第三选择规则包括:第一套PDCCH候选根据下述方式中的至少一种进行选择:
方式四:第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引的顺序进行映射。
具体的,第一套PDCCH候选可以根据PDCCH监测时刻索引由大到小的顺序映射的PDCCH候选。或者,第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引由小到大的顺序映射的PDCCH候选。或者,第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序映射的PDCCH候选。应当理解的是,在进行映射时,可以将一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选。
例如参见图10所示,第一套PDCCH候选即是根据PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序从第一套PDCCH候选中映射的PDCCH候选,交织的occasion排序为occasion0-occasion2-occasion1-occasion3。图10中,1-4分别为对应PDCCH候选的编号,该编号反应映射顺序,映射时按编号由低到高依次映射。
方式五:第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引的顺序映射。
具体的,与方式四类似,第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引由大到小的顺序映射的PDCCH候选;或者,第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引由小到大的顺序映射的PDCCH候选;或者,第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引交织的顺序映射的PDCCH候选。应当理解的是,在进行映射时,可以将一个PDCCH起始符号索引对应的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一个PDCCH起始符号索引对应的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选。
方式六:第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别的顺序映射。
具体的,第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别由高到低的顺序映射的PDCCH候选;在进行映射时,可以将一个聚合级别映射对应的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一聚合级别对应的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选。此时第一套PDCCH候选的选择方式与图7所示的选择方式类似。例如第一套PDCCH候选包含有AL为4的PDCCH候选、AL为2的PDCCH候选和AL为1的PDCCH候选,则映射的顺序为先选择第一套PDCCH候选中AL为4的PDCCH候选映射,再选择第一套PDCCH候选中AL为2的PDCCH候选映射,再选择第一套PDCCH候选中AL为1的PDCCH候选映射。
或者,第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别由高到低的顺序以及PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序映射的PDCCH候选。在进行映射时,可以将一个聚合级别映射对应的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一聚合级别对应的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选;在同一聚合级别的第一套PDCCH候选进行映射时,将一个PDCCH监测时刻索 引对应的该聚合级别的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的该聚合级别的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选。此时第一套PDCCH候选的选择方式与图8所示的选择方式类似。例如第一套PDCCH候选为:occasion0对应的一个AL为4的PDCCH候选、occasion1对应的一个AL为2的PDCCH候选、occasion2对应的一个AL为4的PDCCH候选和occasion3对应的一个AL为4的PDCCH候选。则映射的顺序为:先选择第一套PDCCH候选中occasion0对应的一个AL为4的PDCCH候选映射,再选择第一套PDCCH候选中occasion2对应的一个AL为4的PDCCH候选映射,再选择第一套PDCCH候选中occasion3对应的一个AL为4的PDCCH候选映射,最后选择第一套PDCCH候选中occasion1对应的一个AL为2的PDCCH候选映射。
应当理解的是,事实上第一套PDCCH候选也可以根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别由高到低的顺序以及PDCCH监测时刻索引由大到小的顺序映射的PDCCH候选。设第一套PDCCH候选为:occasion0对应的一个AL为2的PDCCH候选、occasion1对应的一个AL为4的PDCCH候选、occasion2对应的一个AL为4的PDCCH候选和occasion3对应的一个AL为2的PDCCH候选。则映射的顺序为:先选择第一套PDCCH候选中occasion2对应的一个AL为4的PDCCH候选映射,再选择第一套PDCCH候选中occasion1对应的一个AL为4的PDCCH候选映射,再选择第一套PDCCH候选中occasion3对应的一个AL为2的PDCCH候选映射,最后选择第一套PDCCH候选中occasion0对应的一个AL为2的PDCCH候选映射。
或者根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别由高到低的顺序以及PDCCH监测时刻索引由小到大的顺序映射的PDCCH候选。设第一套PDCCH候选为:occasion0对应的一个AL为2的PDCCH候选、occasion1对应的一个AL为4的PDCCH候选、occasion2对应的一个AL为4的PDCCH候选和occasion3对应的一个AL为2的PDCCH候选。则映射的顺序为:先选择第一套PDCCH候选中occasion1对应的一个AL为4的PDCCH候选映射,再选择第一套PDCCH候选中occasion2对应的一个AL为4的PDCCH候选映射,再选择第一套PDCCH候选中occasion0对应的一个AL为2的PDCCH候选映射,最后选择第一套PDCCH候选中occasion3对应的一个AL为2的PDCCH候选映射。
在本实施例中,第一套PDCCH候选可以优先于第二套PDCCH候选进行选择。即,在第一套PDCCH候选中映射的PDCCH候选之后,才在第二套PDCCH候选中映射的PDCCH候选。
在对第二套PDCCH候选进行选择时,第四选择规则包括:第二套PDCCH 候选根据下述方式中的至少一种进行选择:
方式七:第二套PDCCH候选全部映射。
具体的,可以参见图11所示,第二套PDCCH候选即为编号5对应的28个PDCCH候选。在对这28个PDCCH候选进行选择时,可以选择将编号5对应的这28个PDCCH候选全部映射,也可以将编号5对应的这28个PDCCH候选全部放弃。
方式八:第二套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引的顺序映射。
具体的,第二套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引由大到小的顺序映射的PDCCH候选;或者,第二套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引由小到大的顺序映射的PDCCH候选;或者,第二套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序映射的PDCCH候选。此时在进行映射时,可以将一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的第二套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的第二套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选。
在第二套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序映射时,具体的,可以仅根据PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序映射,例如,参见图10所示,交织的occasion索引顺序为occasion0-occasion2-occasion1-occasion3。图10中,5-8分别为对应PDCCH候选集合的编号,该编号反应映射顺序,映射时按编号由低到高依次映射。
应当理解的是,第二套PDCCH候选也可以根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别由高到低的顺序以及PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序映射的PDCCH候选。交织的occasion索引顺序为occasion0-occasion2-occasion1-occasion3。在进行映射时,可以将一个聚合级别映射对应的第二套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一聚合级别对应的第二套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选;在同一聚合级别的第二套PDCCH候选进行映射时,将一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的该聚合级别的第二套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的该聚合级别的第二套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选。例如参见图12所示,图12中,5-11分别为对应PDCCH候选集合的编号,该编号反应映射顺序,映射时按编号由低到高依次映射。
应当理解的是,在本实施例中对于用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选进行选择时,是按照各用户特定搜索空间集合在当前时隙内,各载波上的预设映射顺序来进行映射的。例如,参见图13所示,基站即先对载波CC1上的第二 套用户特定搜索空间集合的第二用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3进行映射,再对载波CC1上的第一套用户特定搜索空间集合的第一用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 4进行映射,再对载波CC2上的第二套用户特定搜索空间集合的第二用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3进行映射,再对载波CC2上的第一套用户特定搜索空间集合的第一用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 4进行映射。
在本实施例中,基站应当预先知晓终端的对于PDCCH候选监测次数的处理门限值,并知晓终端的对于CCE的处理门限值。在映射过程中,应当保证映射的总PDCCH候选对应的PDCCH候选监测次数小于等于终端的PDCCH候选监测次数的处理门限值,且映射的总PDCCH候选对应的CCE数目小于等于所述终端的CCE处理门限值。应当理解的是,前述映射的总PDCCH候选包含所述用户特定搜索空间集合中映射的PDCCH候选与公共搜索空间集合中映射的PDCCH候选。
需要说明的是,在实际选择过程中,在配置搜索空间集合后,终端对于一个PDCCH候选的监测次数通常是固定的,例如,对于一个用户特定搜索空间集合的一个PDCCH候选通常是两次。基于此,可以通过PDCCH候选监测次数的处理门限值来确定基站最大的映射PDCCH候选的数量。
假设对于给定的配置搜索空间集合参数下,一个PDCCH候选的一个PDCCH候选的监测次数为2,以基站知晓终端的对于PDCCH候选监测次数的处理门限值为2m为例,设公共搜索空间集合中映射的PDCCH候选为m1个,则基站配置的用户特定搜索空间集合中映射的PDCCH候选数目为m-m1,设为20。以图14为例:
先对载波CC1上的第二套用户特定搜索空间集合的第二用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3进行映射:由于载波CC1上USS set 3上的PDCCH候选总数为16,小于20,则对于USS set 3上的PDCCH候选实质会全部映射(注意映射时的过程依据第二选择规则进行)。
再对载波CC1上的第一套用户特定搜索空间集合的第一用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 4进行映射,此时由于USS set 4上的PDCCH候选总数为8,大于了4(20-16)个,则按照第一选择规则将USS set 4上的PDCCH候选全部放弃。
再对载波CC2上的第二套用户特定搜索空间集合的第二用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3进行映射。设第二选择规则是按照AL由高到低的顺序来进行选择的,则先选择载波CC2上USS set 3的AL2级别对应的PDCCH候选,共4个,刚好等于终端对于PDCCH候选的剩余处理能力值(20-16)个,故映射载波CC2上USS set 3的AL2级别对应的PDCCH候选,对于载波CC2上USS set 3的AL1级别对应的PDCCH候选全部放弃。此后对载波CC2上的第一套用户 特定搜索空间集合的第一用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 4也全部放弃。
应当理解的是,由于对于一个PDCCH候选而言,其CCE数量是确定的,因此基于上述相同的选择判别过程,可以控制映射的PDCCH候选的CCE数量不超过终端的CCE处理门限值的PDCCH候选。
在本实施例中,通常对于终端而言,其对于PDCCH候选监测次数的处理门限值和CCE处理门限值是固定的,因此工程师可以预先写入基站中。此外对于特殊的终端的PDCCH候选监测次数的处理门限值和CCE处理门限值有浮动时,终端可以通过通信连接主动告知基站其当前的PDCCH候选监测次数的处理门限值和CCE处理门限值。
应当理解的是,基站在映射完PDCCH候选后,基站会在映射的PDCCH候选上选择一个或多个PDCCH候选,作为承载下行控制信息的PDCCH信道,向终端发送下行控制信息。
相对应的,参见参见图15所示,图15为本公开实施例一提供的终端侧的一种候选信道映射方法的基本流程示意图,包括:
S1501:确定用户特定搜索空间集合。
在本实施例中,用户特定搜索空间集合包括第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和/或第二套用户特定搜索空间集合。在确定一个用户特定搜索空间集合为第一用户特定搜索空间集合还是为第二用户特定搜索空间集合时,可以遵循以下两种规则来进行确定:
其一:将在一个时隙内PDCCH监测时刻的数目等于1的用户特定搜索空间集合确定为第一用户特定搜索空间集合;将在一个时隙内PDCCH监测时刻的数目大于1的用户特定搜索空间集合确定为第二用户特定搜索空间集合。
其二:将在一个时隙内PDCCH监测时刻的数目等于1或PDDCH监测周期大于1个时隙的用户特定搜索空间集合确定为第一用户特定搜索空间集合;将在一个时隙内PDCCH监测时刻的数目大于1,且PDDCH监测周期等于1个时隙的用户特定搜索空间集合确定为第二用户特定搜索空间集合。
这里需要说明的是,基站除了会为终端配置用户特定搜索空间集合外,还会配置公共搜索空间集合。因此终端在监测PDCCH时,除了会在用户特定搜索空间集合监测PDCCH候选外,还会公共搜索空间集合中监测PDCCH候选。通常而言,终端会先映射出公共搜索空间集合中的所有PDCCH候选,再映射出用户特定搜索空间集合的PDCCH候选。
基站为终端配置的用户特定搜索空间集合,存在三种情况,即分别是仅包含第一套用户特定搜索空间集合;或者仅包含第二套用户特定搜索空间集合; 或者,同时包含第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和第二套用户特定搜索空间集合。
应当理解的是,本实施例中所述的映射即是指的选择。例如上述“在公共搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选”即是指的:在公共搜索空间集合中选择出最终要保留的PDCCH候选。
S1502:使用第一选择规则在第一套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选;使用第二选择规则在第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。
在本实施例中,终端采用的第一选择规则和第二选择规则与基站采用的第一选择规则和第二选择规则相同。因此与基站侧相对应的:
第一选择规则包括:将第一用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选全部映射,或者将第一用户特定搜索空间集合中的所有PDCCH候选全部不映射。
第二选择规则包括:第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据下述方式中的至少一种进行映射:
方式一:第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引的顺序映射。
具体的,第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引由大到小的顺序选择PDCCH候选映射。或者,第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引由小到大的顺序选择PDCCH候选映射。或者,第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序选择PDCCH候选映射。
值得注意的是,在根据PDCCH监测时刻索引的顺序进行映射时,可以将一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,才会映射下一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的所有PDCCH候选。
方式二:第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引的顺序映射。
应当理解的是,一个PDCCH监测时刻包括1个或多个PDCCH时域符号,不同PDCCH监测时刻的PDCCH起始符号不同,不同PDCCH候选监测时刻之间可以存在重叠的PDCCH时域符号。
在方式二中,其具体的实现方式与方式一类似。具体的,第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引由大到小的顺序选择PDCCH候选映射;或者,第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引由小到大的顺序选择PDCCH候选映射;或者,第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引交织的顺序选择 PDCCH候选映射。
值得注意的是,在根据PDCCH起始符号索引的顺序进行映射时,可以将一个PDCCH起始符号索引对应的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,才会映射下一个PDCCH起始符号索引对应的所有PDCCH候选。
方式三:第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别的顺序映射。
具体的,第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别由高到低的顺序选择PDCCH候选映射。在进行映射时,可以先将一个聚合级别映射对应的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一聚合级别对应的所有PDCCH候选。
在本实施例中,还可以同时采用方式一和方式三从第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选;具体的,可以根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别由高到低的顺序,依次在不同聚合级别中映射PDCCH候选;在进行映射时,将一个聚合级别映射对应的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一聚合级别对应的所有PDCCH候选。应当注意的是,在同一聚合级别中,根据所述聚合级别中的所有PDCCH候选对应的PDCCH监测时刻索引,按照PDCCH监测时刻索引由大到小的顺序,或者按照PDCCH监测时刻索引由小到大的顺序,或者按照PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序,映射所述聚合级别中的PDCCH候选;在同一聚合级别的PDCCH候选进行映射时,将一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的该聚合级别的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的该聚合级别的所有PDCCH候选。
在本实施例中,还可以同时采用方式二和方式三从第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。与同时采用方式一和方式三从第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选映射类似的,可以根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别由高到低的顺序,依次在不同聚合级别中映射PDCCH候选;在进行映射时,将一个聚合级别映射对应的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一聚合级别对应的所有PDCCH候选;而在同一聚合级别中,根据聚合级别中的所有PDCCH候选对应的PDCCH起始符号索引,按照PDCCH起始符号索引由大到小的顺序,或者按照PDCCH起始符号索引由小到大的顺序,或者按照PDCCH起始符号索引交织的顺序,映射所述聚合级别中的PDCCH候选;在同一聚合级别的PDCCH候选进行映射时,将一个PDCCH起始符号索引对应的该聚合级别的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一个PDCCH起始符号索引对应的该聚合级别的所有PDCCH候选。
在本实施例中,第二选择规则还可以是:将第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选划分为第一套PDCCH候选和第二套PDCCH候选,进而使用第三选择规则在第一套PDCCH候选中映射PDCCH候选;使用第四选择规则在第二套PDCCH候选中映射PDCCH候选。
具体的,在本实施例中,可以按照以下方式来划分第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的第一套PDCCH候选和第二套PDCCH候选:
对于第一套PDCCH候选可以通过以下方式选取:
1.可以根据PDCCH监测时刻索引顺序从第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中选择出第一套PDCCH候选。
具体的,可以从所述PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中,选择n(n大于等于1)个PDCCH候选构成第一套PDCCH候选。
2.可以根据PDCCH监测时刻索引和PDCCH候选的聚合级别从第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中选择出第一套PDCCH候选。
具体的,可以从所述PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中,选择n(n大于等于1)个聚合级别最高的PDCCH候选构成第一套PDCCH候选。
3.可以根据PDCCH起始符号索引从第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中选择出第一套PDCCH候选。
具体的,与上述1类似,可以从所述PDCCH起始符号索引对应的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中,选择n(n大于等于1)个PDCCH候选构成第一套PDCCH候选。应当理解的是,此时在各PDCCH起始符号索引对应的PDCCH候选中选取的PDCCH候选所对应的聚合级别没有要求,可以是任意聚合级别的。
4.可以根据PDCCH起始符号索引和PDCCH候选的聚合级别从第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中选择出第一套PDCCH候选。
具体的,与上述2类似,可以从所述PDCCH起始符号索引对应的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中,选择n(n大于等于1)个聚合级别最高的PDCCH候选构成第一套PDCCH候选。
在本实施的一种具体实施方式中,n可以取1或2。
对于第二套PDCCH候选,可以将第二用户特定搜索空间集合中除第一套PDCCH候选之外的其余PDCCH候选作为第二套PDCCH候选。例如参见图10 所示,除去第一套PDCCH候选中的四个PDCCH之外剩余的所有PDCCH即构成了第二套PDCCH候选。
在本实施例中,第三选择规则包括:第一套PDCCH候选根据下述方式中的至少一种进行选择:
方式四:第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引的顺序映射。
具体的,第一套PDCCH候选可以根据PDCCH监测时刻索引由大到小的顺序映射PDCCH候选。或者,第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引由小到大的顺序映射PDCCH候选。或者,第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序映射PDCCH候选。应当理解的是,在进行映射时,可以将一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选。
方式五:第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引的顺序映射。
具体的,与方式四类似,第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引由大到小的顺序映射PDCCH候选;或者,第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引由小到大的顺序映射PDCCH候选;或者,第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引交织的顺序映射PDCCH候选。应当理解的是,在进行映射时,可以将一个PDCCH起始符号索引对应的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一个PDCCH起始符号索引对应的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选。
方式六:第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别的顺序映射。
具体的,第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别由高到低的顺序映射PDCCH候选;在进行映射时,可以将一个聚合级别映射对应的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一聚合级别对应的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选。
或者,第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别由高到低的顺序以及PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序映射PDCCH候选。在进行映射时,可以将一个聚合级别映射对应的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一聚合级别对应的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选;在同一聚合级别的第一套PDCCH候选进行映射时,将一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的该聚合级别的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的该聚合级别的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选。
应当理解的是,事实上第一套PDCCH候选也可以根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别由高到低的顺序以及PDCCH监测时刻索引由大到小的顺序映射PDCCH候选。或者根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别由高到低的顺序以及PDCCH监测时刻索引由小到大的顺序映射PDCCH候选。
在本实施例中,第一套PDCCH候选可以优先于第二套PDCCH候选进行选择。即,在第一套PDCCH候选中映射PDCCH候选之后,才在第二套PDCCH候选中映射PDCCH候选。
在对第二套PDCCH候选进行选择时,第四选择规则包括:第二套PDCCH候选根据下述方式中的至少一种进行选择:
方式七:第二套PDCCH候选全部选择为映射的PDCCH候选。
方式八:第二套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引的顺序映射PDCCH候选。
具体的,第二套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引由大到小的顺序映射PDCCH候选;或者,第二套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引由小到大的顺序映射PDCCH候选;或者,第二套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序映射PDCCH候选。此时在进行映射时,可以将一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的第二套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的第二套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选。
在第二套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序映射PDCCH候选时,具体的,可以仅根据PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序映射PDCCH候选。
应当理解的是,在本实施例中对于用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选进行映射时,是按照各用户特定搜索空间集合在当前时隙内,各载波上的预设映射顺序来进行映射的。
在本实施例中,终端映射出的PDCCH候选,应当保证映射的总PDCCH候选对应的PDCCH候选监测次数小于等于终端的PDCCH候选监测次数的处理门限值,且映射的总PDCCH候选对应的CCE数目小于等于所述终端的CCE处理门限值。应当理解的是,前述映射的总PDCCH候选包含所述用户特定搜索空间集合中映射的PDCCH候选与公共搜索空间集合中映射的PDCCH候选。
根据本公开实施例提供的候选信道映射方法,通过为终端配置包含第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和/或第二套用户特定搜索空间集合的用户特定搜索空间集合,再使用第一选择规则在第一套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候 选,使用第二选择规则在第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选,从而实现对PDCCH候选进行筛选。在筛选过程中结合终端的PDCCH候选监测次数的处理门限值和CCE处理门限值,从而保证一个时隙上最终保留的PDCCH候选在终端进行处理时,处于UE支持的能力范围之内。
实施例二:
参见图16所示,图16为本公开实施例二提供的基站侧的一种候选信道映射方法的基本流程示意图,包括:
S1601:确定终端的第三套用户特定搜索空间集合。
在本实施例中,第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中包含一个或多个第三用户特定搜索空间集合。第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中的一个或多个第三用户特定搜索空间集合包含了一个时隙上的所有PDCCH候选。
需要说明的是,对于一个时隙而言,其在一个载波上会存在有多个下行带宽部分,其中可能会存在一个初始激活下行带宽部分,一个载波上除了初始激活下行带宽部分之外的剩余的下行用户带宽部分中只会有一个激活,成为激活下行带宽部分。在使用时,终端实质只会在初始激活下行带宽部分和激活下行带宽部分上的用户特定搜索空间集合中监测PDCCH候选,因此,本实施例中第三套用户特定搜索空间集合可以包括:在一个时隙上激活下行带宽部分和/或初始激活下行带宽部分上的终端的所有用户特定搜索空间集合。
S1602:根据载波索引和搜索空间集合索引在第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。
在本实施例中,根据载波索引和搜索空间集合索引在第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选包括:按照载波索引由低到高的顺序,依次对各载波上第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选映射。而在同一载波上,按照搜索空间集合索引由低到高的顺序,依次对各第三用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选映射。例如参见图13所示,先对载波CC1上的用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3和USS set 4进行映射,再对载波CC2上的用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3和USS set 4进行映射。在对载波CC1上的用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3和USS set 4进行映射时,先对载波CC1上的用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3进行映射,再对载波CC1上的用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 4进行映射。在对载波CC2上的用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3和USS set 4进行映射时,先对载波CC2上的用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3进行映射,再对载波CC2上的用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 4进行映射。
在本实施例中,根据当前时隙中的载波索引和搜索空间集合索引在所述第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选包括:按照载波索引由低到高的顺序,依次交替地对所述载波上第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选映射;在同一载波上,按照搜索空间集合索引由低到高的顺序,依次对第三用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选映射。例如参见图17所示,先对载波CC1上的用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3进行映射,再对载波CC2上的用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3进行映射,再对载波CC1上的用户特定搜索空间集合USSset 4进行映射,再对载波CC2上的用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 4进行映射。
或者,按照搜索空间集合索引由低到高的顺序,依次在所述搜索空间集合索引对应的第三用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选;对于相同搜索空间集合索引对应的多个第三用户特定搜索空间集合,按照载波索引由低到高的顺序,依次在第三用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。
在本实施例中,按照搜索空间集合索引由低到高的顺序,依次在第三用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选时,可以是:按照搜索空间集合索引由低到高的顺序,对一个搜索空间集合索引对应的第三用户特定搜索空间集合映射完所有需要映射的PDCCH候选后,再对一个搜索空间集合索引对应的第三用户特定搜索空间集合映射PDCCH候选。
在本实施例中,根据载波索引和搜索空间集合索引在第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选包括以下方式中的至少一种:
方式九:直接根据载波索引和搜索空间集合索引在第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。
例如图13和图17所示的方式即为直接根据载波索引和搜索空间集合索引在第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。
方式十:根据载波索引、搜索空间集合索引以及时隙索引在所述第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。
具体的,根据时隙索引以及第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中各第三用户特定搜索空间集合在各载波上的映射先后顺序设置周期,确定时隙索引对应的时隙内,各载波上的第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中各第三用户特定搜索空间集合的映射先后顺序设置规则;进而根据载波索引和映射先后顺序设置规则,依次对载波上第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选映射PDCCH候选;在同一载波上,按照搜索空间集合索引由低到高的顺序,依次对各第三用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选映射的PDCCH候选。
例如参见图18所示,各载波上的第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中各第三用 户特定搜索空间集合的映射先后顺序设置规则呈周期性,周期为4个时隙。则根据时隙索引n来除以周期4即可通过余数得到时隙索引n在一个周期中的位置,例如以余数为1为例,则对应于一个周期中的第一个时隙,此时该时隙内的映射先后顺序即与图13相同,即根据载波索引和搜索空间集合索引,先对载波CC1上的用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3和USS set 4进行映射,再对载波CC2上的用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3和USS set 4进行映射。在对载波CC1上的用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3和USS set 4进行映射时,先对载波CC1上的用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3进行映射,再对载波CC1上的用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 4进行映射。在对载波CC2上的用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3和USS set 4进行映射时,先对载波CC2上的用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3进行映射,再对载波CC2上的用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 4进行映射。
方式十一:根据载波索引、搜索空间集合索引以及载波类型在第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。
具体的,载波类型包括主小区载波和辅小区载波。在选择方式十一在所述第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射的PDCCH候选时,包括:在对主小区载波上第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选映射的PDCCH候选之后,按照载波索引由低到高的顺序,依次对各辅小区载波上第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选映射的PDCCH候选;在同一载波上,按照搜索空间集合索引由低到高的顺序,依次对各第三用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选映射的PDCCH候选。
应当理解的是,在本实施例中在对各载波上的第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中各第三用户特定搜索空间集合进行映射时,对于各第三用户特定搜索空间集合,可以先按照上述实施例一的方式,确定各第三用户特定搜索空间集合是第一用户特定搜索空间集合还是第二用户特定搜索空间集合,进而将是第一用户特定搜索空间集合的各第三用户特定搜索空间集合按上述实施例一中的第一选择规则进行选择,将是第二用户特定搜索空间集合的各第三用户特定搜索空间集合按上述实施例一中的第二选择规则进行选择。
在本实施例中,基站应当预先知晓终端的对于PDCCH候选监测次数的处理门限值,以及对于CCE的处理门限值。在实际选择过程中,应当保证映射的总PDCCH候选对应的PDCCH候选监测次数小于等于终端的PDCCH候选监测次数的处理门限值,且映射的总PDCCH候选对应的CCE数目小于等于所述终端的CCE处理门限值。应当理解的是,前述映射的总PDCCH候选包含所述用户特定搜索空间集合中映射的PDCCH候选与公共搜索空间集合中映射的PDCCH候选。
应当理解的是,基站在选择完映射的PDCCH候选后,基站会在映射的PDCCH候选上选择一个或多个PDCCH候选,作为承载下行控制信息的PDCCH信道,向终端发送下行控制信息。
相对应的,参见参见图19所示,图19为本公开实施例二提供的终端侧的一种候选信道映射方法的基本流程示意图,包括:
S1901:确定第三套用户特定搜索空间集合。
在本实施例中,第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中包含一个或多个第三用户特定搜索空间集合;且第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中的一个或多个第三用户特定搜索空间集合包含了一个时隙上的所有PDCCH候选。
需要说明的是,对于一个时隙而言,其在一个载波上会存在有多个下行带宽部分,其中可能有一个为初始激活下行带宽部分,剩余的下行用户带宽部分中只会有一个激活,成为激活下行带宽部分。在使用时,终端实质只会对初始激活下行带宽部分和激活下行带宽部分上的用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选进行监测,因此,本实施例中第三套用户特定搜索空间集合可以包括:在一个时隙上激活下行带宽部分和/或初始激活下行带宽部分上的终端的所有用户特定搜索空间集合。
S1902:根据载波索引和搜索空间集合索引在所述第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。
在本实施例中,终端映射PDCCH候选的方式应当与基站映射PDCCH候选的方式相同。具体的,
根据当前时隙中的载波索引和搜索空间集合索引在第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选包括:按照载波索引由低到高的顺序,依次对各载波上第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选进行映射。而在同一载波上,按照搜索空间集合索引由低到高的顺序,依次对第三用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选进行映射。
在本实施例中,根据当前时隙中的载波索引和搜索空间集合索引在所述第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选包括:按照载波索引由低到高的顺序,依次交替地对所述载波上第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选映射;在同一载波上,按照搜索空间集合索引由低到高的顺序,依次对第三用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选映射。
或者,按照搜索空间集合索引由低到高的顺序,依次在所述搜索空间集合索引对应的第三用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选;对于相同搜索空间集合索引对应的多个第三用户特定搜索空间集合,按照载波索引由低到高的顺 序,依次在第三用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。
在本实施例中,按照搜索空间集合索引由低到高的顺序,依次在所述第三用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选时,可以是:按照搜索空间集合索引由低到高的顺序,对一个搜索空间集合索引对应的第三用户特定搜索空间集合映射完所有需要映射的PDCCH候选后,再对一个搜索空间集合索引对应的第三用户特定搜索空间集合映射PDCCH候选。
在本实施例中,根据载波索引和搜索空间集合索引在第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选包括以下方式中的至少一种:
直接根据载波索引和搜索空间集合索引在第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。
或,根据载波索引、搜索空间集合索引以及载波类型在第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选;具体的,载波类型包括主小区载波和辅小区载波。在所述第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选时,包括:在对主小区载波上第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选映射PDCCH候选之后,按照载波索引由低到高的顺序,依次对各辅小区载波上第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选映射PDCCH候选;在同一载波上,按照搜索空间集合索引由低到高的顺序,依次对各第三用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选映射PDCCH候选。
或,根据载波索引、搜索空间集合索引以及时隙索引在所述第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。具体的,根据时隙索引以及第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中各第三用户特定搜索空间集合在各载波上的映射先后顺序设置周期,确定时隙索引对应的时隙内,各载波上的第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中各第三用户特定搜索空间集合的映射先后顺序设置规则;进而根据载波索引和排布映射先后顺序设置规则,依次对载波上第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选映射PDCCH候选;在同一载波上,按照搜索空间集合索引由低到高的顺序,依次对各第三用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选映射PDCCH候选。
应当理解的是,在基站在对各载波上的第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中各第三用户特定搜索空间集合进行映射时,对于各第三用户特定搜索空间集合,先按照上述实施例一的方式,确定各第三用户特定搜索空间集合是第一用户特定搜索空间集合还是第二用户特定搜索空间集合,进而将是第一用户特定搜索空间集合的各第三用户特定搜索空间集合按上述实施例一中的第一选择规则进行选择,将是第二用户特定搜索空间集合的各第三用户特定搜索空间集合按上述实施例一中的第二选择规则进行选择时,终端应当对应的采用上述实施例一 的方式进行PDCCH映射和PDCCH监测。
在本实施例中,终端映射出的PDCCH候选,应当保证映射的总PDCCH候选对应的PDCCH候选监测次数小于等于终端的PDCCH候选监测次数的处理门限值,且映射的总PDCCH候选对应的CCE数目小于等于所述终端的CCE处理门限值。应当理解的是,前述映射的总PDCCH候选包含所述用户特定搜索空间集合中映射的PDCCH候选与公共搜索空间集合中映射的PDCCH候选。
根据本公开实施例提供的候选信道映射方法,通过为终端配置第三套用户特定搜索空间集合,再根据载波索引和搜索空间集合索引在第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选,从而实现对PDCCH候选进行筛选。在筛选过程中结合终端的PDCCH候选处理门限值监测次数的和CCE处理门限值,从而保证一个时隙上最终保留的PDCCH候选和最终保留的需要进行信道估计的CCE数目处于UE支持的能力范围之内。
实施例三:
本实施例在实施例一和/或实施例二的基础上,对本公开的的方案做进一步的示例说明。
在基站侧:
本实施例中,基站从第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。本实施例中,第三套用户特定搜索空间集合包含一个基站为一个终端在一个时隙上配置所有用户特定搜索空间集合中的所有PDCCH候选,如图13所示。
应当理解的是,基站根据基站高层参数的配置,确定第三套用户特定搜索空间集合的。
本实施例中,从第三套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选,基于:按照载波索引由低到高的顺序,选择完一个载波上所有需要映射的PDCCH候选,再对下一个载波映射PDCCH候选。在一个载波内,按照搜索空间集合索引由低到高的顺序,选择用户特定搜索空间集合内所有需要映射的PDCCH候选。
本实施例中,基站为终端配置的搜索空间集合包含公共搜索空间集合和用户特定搜索空间集合。本实施例中,先映射一个时隙上所有公共搜索空间集合中的所有PDCCH候选后,再对用户特定搜索空间集合映射PDCCH候选。
具体的,如图13所示,在载波1上,基站为终端配置的用户特定搜索空间集合包括USS set 3和USS set 4。
载波1上USS set 3的相关配置如下:
USS set 3为用户特定搜索空间集合:PDCCH监测周期为1个时隙;PDCCH监测时隙上有两个PDCCH监测时刻(即指示有两个PDCCH监测(起始)符号位置);聚合级别AL1包含4个PDCCH候选;聚合级别AL2包含4个PDCCH候选;
载波1上USS set 4的相关配置如下:
USS set 4为用户特定搜索空间集合:PDCCH监测周期为5个时隙;PDCCH监测时隙上有1个PDCCH监测时刻(即指示有1个PDCCH监测(起始)符号位置);聚合级别AL1包含4个PDCCH候选;聚合级别AL2包含4个PDCCH候选。

实施例五:
本实施例在实施例一和/或实施例二的基础上,对本公开的的方案做进一步的示例说明。
在基站侧:
本实施例中,基站配置的用户特定搜索空间集合包含第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和第二套用户特定搜索空间集合;使用第一规则在第一套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选;使用第二规则在第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。
应当理解的是,基站根据基站高层参数的配置,配置用户特定搜索空间集合。
上述基站配置的用户特定搜索空间集合包含第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和第二套用户特定搜索空间集合,可以是以下情况实现的配置:
1.有些基站为其归属终端配置的特定搜索空间集合属于第一套用户特定搜索空间集合,另外一些基站为其归属的终端配置的特定搜索空间集合属于第二套用户特定搜索空间集合。
2.一个基站为多个终端配置的多个用户特定搜索空间集合,包含第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和第二套用户特定搜索空间集合。
3.一个基站为一个终端配置的多个用户特定搜索空间集合,包含第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和第二套用户特定搜索空间集合。
本实施例中,基站为一个终端配置多个用户特定搜索空间集合,可能同时包含第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和第二套用户特定搜索空间集合。
本实施例中,一个时隙内PDCCH监测时刻的数目等于1的所有用户特定搜 索空间集合可以定义为第一套用户特定搜索空间集合;一个时隙内PDCCH监测时刻数目大于1的所有用户特定搜索空间集合可以定义为第二套用户特定搜索空间集合。
事实上,基站在分配用户特定搜索空间集合时,存在一个时隙内只有一个PDCCH监测时刻的用户特定搜索空间集合,以及一个时隙内多于一个PDCCH监测时刻的用户特定搜索空间集合。针对非URLLC(Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications,超可靠低延迟通信)业务而言,其实时性要求不高,因此可以分配用户特定搜索空间集合可以是在一个时隙内只有一个PDCCH监测时刻的用户特定搜索空间集合(即第一用户特定搜索空间集合);而对于URLLC业务,由于其具有很高的实时性要求,为了保证在选择过程中对应URLLC业务的用户特定搜索空间集合不会被全部丢掉,因此可以分配一个时隙内多于一个PDCCH监测时刻的用户特定搜索空间集合(即第二用户特定搜索空间集合)。
第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和第二套用户特定搜索空间集合的划分如图3所示。在图3中,包含一个公共搜索空间集合和三个用户特定搜索空间集合。第一套用户特定搜索空间集合包含用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 2和用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 3。第二套用户特定搜索空间集合包含用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 1。以USS set 1为例,包含两个PDCCH监测时刻,即occasion 0和occasion 1。在每个PDCCH监测时刻,包含2个聚合级别为1的PDCCH候选和4个聚合级别为2的PDCCH候选;一个聚合级别为1的PDCCH候选,由1个控制信道单元组成,一个聚合级别为2的PDCCH候选,由2个CCE组成。

本实施例中,映射一个时隙上所有公共搜索空间集合中的所有PDCCH候选后,再对用户特定搜索空间集合映射的PDCCH候选。
本实施例中,一个时隙上,对于属于第一套用户特定搜索空间集合中的用户特定搜索空间集合,PDCCH候选映射使用第一规则。第一规则为:对于第一套用户特定搜索空间集合中的用户特定搜索空间集合,映射一个时隙上所述用户特定搜索空间集合中的所有PDCCH候选;即对于一个时隙上属于第一套搜索空间集合中的一个搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选,要么全部映射,要么全部都不映射。
一个时隙上,对于属于第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中的用户特定搜索空 间集合,映射PDCCH候选使用第二规则。第二规则的特点是,对于第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中的一个用户特定搜索空间集合,可以只映射该用户特定搜索空间集合中部分PDCCH候选。
本实施例中,映射的PDCCH候选需要保证不超过终端的信道估计能力(CCE的处理门限值)和/或盲检测数目能力(PDCCH候选处理门限值)。
本实施例中,基站在所选择的映射的PDCCH候选上选择一个或多个PDCCH候选来作为PDCCH信道承载下行控制信息,并发送给终端。
在终端侧:

应当理解的是,终端是根据基站高层参数的配置,来确定用户特定搜索空间集合的。
上述基站配置的用户特定搜索空间集合包含第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和第二套用户特定搜索空间集合,可以是以下情况实现的配置:
1.有些基站为其归属终端配置的特定搜索空间集合属于第一套用户特定搜索空间集合,另外一些基站为其归属的终端配置的特定搜索空间集合属于第二套用户特定搜索空间集合。
2.一个基站为多个终端配置的多个用户特定搜索空间集合,包含第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和第二套用户特定搜索空间集合。
3.一个基站为一个终端配置的多个用户特定搜索空间集合,包含第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和第二套用户特定搜索空间集合。
本实施例中,基站为一个终端配置多个用户特定搜索空间集合,可能同时包含第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和第二套用户特定搜索空间集合。
本实施例中,一个时隙内PDCCH监测时刻的数目等于1的所有用户特定搜索空间集合可以定义为第一套用户特定搜索空间集合;一个时隙内PDCCH监测时刻数目大于1的所有用户特定搜索空间集合可以定义为第二套用户特定搜索空间集合。
第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和第二套用户特定搜索空间集合的划分如图3所示。在图3中,包含一个公共搜索空间集合和三个用户特定搜索空间集合。第一套用户特定搜索空间集合包含用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 2和用户特定 搜索空间集合USS set 3。第二套用户特定搜索空间集合包含用户特定搜索空间集合USS set 1。以USS set 1为例,包含两个PDCCH监测时刻,即occasion 0和occasion 1。在每个PDCCH监测时刻,包含2个聚合级别为1的PDCCH候选和4个聚合级别为2的PDCCH候选;一个聚合级别为1的PDCCH候选,由1个控制信道单元组成,一个聚合级别为2的PDCCH候选,由2个CCE组成。
本实施例中,一个PDCCH监测时刻包括1个或多个PDCCH时域符号(即PDCCH起始符号),不同PDCCH监测时刻的PDCCH起始符号不同,不同PDCCH候选监测时刻之间可以存在重叠的时域符号。不同PDCCH候选的时频资源位置可以存在重叠。
本实施例中,终端映射一个时隙上所有公共搜索空间集合中的所有PDCCH候选后,再对用户特定搜索空间集合映射PDCCH候选。
本实施例中,一个时隙上,对于属于第一套用户特定搜索空间集合中的用户特定搜索空间集合,PDCCH候选映射使用第一规则。第一规则为:对于第一套用户特定搜索空间集合中的用户特定搜索空间集合,映射一个时隙上所述用户特定搜索空间集合中的所有PDCCH候选;即对于一个时隙上属于第一套搜索空间集合中的一个搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选,要么全部映射,要么全部都不映射。
一个时隙上,对于属于第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中的用户特定搜索空间集合,映射PDCCH候选使用第二规则。第二规则的特点是,对于第二套搜索空间集合中的一个搜索空间集合,可以只映射该搜索空间集合中部分PDCCH候选。
本实施例中,映射的PDCCH候选需要保证不超过终端的信道估计能力和/或盲检测数目能力。
根据上述原则映射的PDCCH候选后,终端的PDCCH盲检测限制在映射的PDCCH候选对应的PDCCH候选集合内。
实施例六:
本实施例在实施例五的基础上,对本公开的的方案做进一步的示例说明。
在基站侧:
本实施例中,基站为终端配置多个用户特定搜索空间集合,包含第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和第二套用户特定搜索空间集合。
本实施例中,一个时隙上,对于属于第一套用户特定搜索空间集合中的第 一用户特定搜索空间集合,映射PDCCH候选时使用第一规则。第一规则为:对于第一套用户特定搜索空间集合中的用户特定搜索空间集合,映射一个时隙上所述用户特定搜索空间集合中的所有PDCCH候选;即对于一个时隙上属于第一套搜索空间集合中的一个搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选,要么全部映射,要么全部都不映射。
一个时隙上,对于属于第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中的用户特定搜索空间集合,映射PDCCH候选使用第二规则。第二规则为,对于一个时隙内第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中的任意一个第二用户特定搜索空间集合,映射PDCCH候选基于下述任意规则进行:
1.基于交织的PDCCH监测时刻索引顺序,映射第二用户特定搜索空间集合在一个PDCCH监测时刻上的所有PDCCH候选。
2.基于由小到大的PDCCH监测时刻索引顺序,映射第二用户特定搜索空间集合在一个PDCCH监测时刻上的所有PDCCH候选。
本实施例中,基站为终端配置的搜索空间集合包含公共搜索空间集合和用户特定搜索空间集合。本实施例中,在映射时,先映射一个时隙上公共搜索空间集合中的所有PDCCH候选,再对用户特定搜索空间集合映射PDCCH候选。
例如参见图5和图6所示,设在载波c上有用户特定搜索空间集合USS set s,USS set s相关配置如下:
PDCCH监测周期为1个时隙;PDCCH监测时隙上有4个PDCCH监测时刻(即指示4个PDCCH监测(起始)符号位置);聚合级别AL1包含4个PDCCH候选;聚合级别AL2包含4个PDCCH候选。
应当理解的是,对于上述配置的PDCCH监测时刻,一个PDCCH监测时刻包括1个或多个PDCCH时域符号,不同PDCCH监测时刻的PDCCH起始符号不同,不同PDCCH候选监测时刻之间可以存在重叠的PDCCH时域符号。
本实施例中,先映射公共搜索空间集合中的所有的PDCCH候选,再对USS set s之前需要映射的用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选进行映射,再对载波c上的USS set s映射PDCCH候选。
设USS set s为第二用户特定搜索空间集合,则PDCCH候选映射使用第二规则。
设第二规则为:按照PDCCH监测时刻索引顺序(或起始符号索引)由低到高的顺序映射USS set s在一个PDCCH监测时刻对应的所有PDCCH候选。如图5所示。在图5中,按照occasion0-occasion3的顺序依次映射各occasion对应的所有PDCCH候选。设在第二次映射后即达到了终端的信道估计的CCE数 目和/或PDCCH盲检测数目,则停止映射,不再进行映射,此时映射效果可以参见图5所示(有阴影的为映射的PDCCH候选),occasion2和occasion3对应的PDCCH候选即没有映射。
又设第二规则为:按照交织的PDCCH监测时刻索引(或起始符号索引)顺序映射USS set s在一个PDCCH监测时刻对应的所有PDCCH候选。如图6所示。在图6中,按照occasion0-occasion2-occasion1-occasion3的顺序依次映射各occasion对应的所有PDCCH候选。设在第二次映射后即达到了终端的信道估计的CCE数目和/或PDCCH盲检测数目,则停止映射,不再进行映射,此时映射效果可以参见图6所示(有阴影的为映射的PDCCH候选),occasion1和occasion3对应的PDCCH候选即没有映射。
本实施例的,对于图6中交织的PDCCH监测时刻索引顺序,基站通过下述方式获得:
1.PDCCH监测时刻索引0~3按行写入2行的交织矩阵,结果如下:
0 | 1 |
2 | 3 |
2.按列读出PDCCH监测时刻索引为0,2,1,3。则交织后的PDCCH监测时刻索引为0,2,1,3。
本实施例中,映射的PDCCH候选需要保证不超过终端的信道估计能力(CCE的处理门限值)和/或盲检测数目能力(PDCCH候选处理门限值)。
本实施例中,基站在所选择的映射的PDCCH候选上选择一个或多个PDCCH候选来作为PDCCH信道承载下行控制信息,并发送给终端。
在终端侧:
本实施例中,终端确定多个用户特定搜索空间集合,包含第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和第二套用户特定搜索空间集合。
本实施例中,一个时隙上,对于属于第一套用户特定搜索空间集合中的第一用户特定搜索空间集合,映射PDCCH候选时使用第一规则。第一规则为:对于第一套用户特定搜索空间集合中的用户特定搜索空间集合,映射一个时隙上所述用户特定搜索空间集合中的所有PDCCH候选;即对于一个时隙上属于第一套搜索空间集合中的一个搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选,要么全部映射,要么全部都不映射。
一个时隙上,对于属于第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中的用户特定搜索空 间集合,映射PDCCH候选使用第二规则。第二规则为,对于一个时隙内第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中的任意一个第二用户特定搜索空间集合,映射PDCCH候选基于下述任意规则进行:
1.基于交织的PDCCH监测时刻索引顺序,映射第二用户特定搜索空间集合在一个PDCCH监测时刻上的所有PDCCH候选;
2.基于由小到大的PDCCH监测时刻索引顺序,映射第二用户特定搜索空间集合在一个PDCCH监测时刻上的所有PDCCH候选。
本实施例中,基站为终端配置的搜索空间集合包含公共搜索空间集合和用户特定搜索空间集合。本实施例中,在映射时,先映射一个时隙上公共搜索空间集合中的所有PDCCH候选,再对用户特定搜索空间集合映射PDCCH候选。
例如参见图5和图6所示,设在载波c上有用户特定搜索空间集合USS set s,USS set s相关配置如下:
PDCCH监测周期为1个时隙;PDCCH监测时隙上有4个PDCCH监测时刻(即指示4个PDCCH监测(起始)符号位置);聚合级别AL1包含4个PDCCH候选;聚合级别AL2包含4个PDCCH候选。
应当理解的是,对于上述配置的PDCCH监测时刻,一个PDCCH监测时刻包括1个或多个PDCCH时域符号,不同PDCCH监测时刻的PDCCH起始符号不同,不同PDCCH候选监测时刻之间可以存在重叠的PDCCH时域符号。
本实施例中,先映射公共搜索空间集合中的所有的PDCCH候选,再对USS set s之前需要映射的用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选进行映射,再对载波c上的USS set s映射PDCCH候选。

对于属于第一套用户特定搜索空间集合中的第一用户特定搜索空间集合,映射PDCCH候选时使用第一规则。第一规则为:对于第一套用户特定搜索空间集合中的用户特定搜索空间集合,映射一个时隙上所述用户特定搜索空间集合中的所有PDCCH候选;即对于一个时隙上属于第一套搜索空间集合中的一个搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选,要么全部映射,要么全部都不映射。
对于属于第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中的用户特定搜索空间集合,映射PDCCH候选使用第二规则。第二规则为:使用第三规则在第一套PDCCH候选中映射PDCCH候选;使用第四规则在第二套PDCCH候选中映射PDCCH候选。
第三规则为,基于交织的PDCCH监测时刻索引顺序,依次在所述PDCCH监测时刻映射一个第一套PDCCH候选。根据该规则,如图10所示,第一套PDCCH候选中映射了4个PDCCH候选,且按照编号1-4的顺序映射。
第四规则为,映射一个时隙上用户特定搜索空间集合中的所有第二套PDCCH候选;即对于一个时隙上属于用户特定搜索空间集合中的的第二套PDCCH候选,要么全部映射,要么全部都不映射。
根据该规则,如图11所示,第二套PDCCH候选(即编号5对应的PDCCH候选)要么都映射,要么都不映射。
上述所述交织的PDCCH监测时刻索引,可以通过对PDCCH监测时刻索引按照输入2行的的交织矩阵,并按列读取PDCCH监测时刻索引的方式获得。本实施例中,交织的PDCCH监测时刻索引排序为0、2、1、3。
本实施例中,先映射公共搜索空间集合中的所有的PDCCH候选,再对图11对应的UUS set之前需要映射的用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选进行映射,再对图11对应的UUS set映射PDCCH候选。
实施例十一:
参见图20,图20为本公开实施例十一提供的一种候选信道映射装置20,包括:用户特定搜索空间集合第一确定模块201和PDCCH候选第一映射模块 202。该候选信道映射装置20可以应用于基站中。
本实施例中,用户特定搜索空间集合第一确定模块201用于确定终端的用户特定搜索空间集合。
在本实施例中,用户特定搜索空间集合包含第一套用户特定搜索空间集合和/或第二套用户特定搜索空间集合。
在本实施例中,第一套用户特定搜索空间集合应当包含有一个或多个第一用户特定搜索空间集合;第二套用户特定搜索空间集合应当包含有一个或多个第二用户特定搜索空间集合。
其中,在确定一个用户特定搜索空间集合为第一用户特定搜索空间集合还是为第二用户特定搜索空间集合时,可以遵循以下两种规则来进行确定:
其一:将在一个时隙内PDCCH监测时刻的数目等于1的用户特定搜索空间集合确定为第一用户特定搜索空间集合;将在一个时隙内PDCCH监测时刻的数目大于1的用户特定搜索空间集合确定为第二用户特定搜索空间集合。
其二:将在一个时隙内PDCCH监测时刻的数目等于1或PDDCH监测周期大于1个时隙的用户特定搜索空间集合确定为第一用户特定搜索空间集合;将在一个时隙内PDCCH监测时刻的数目大于1,且PDDCH监测周期等于1个时隙的用户特定搜索空间集合确定为第二用户特定搜索空间集合。
PDCCH候选第一映射模块202用于使用第一映射规则在第一套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选;以及使用第二映射规则在第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。
应当理解的是,本实施例中所述的映射即是指的选择。例如上述“在公共搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选”即是指的:在公共搜索空间集合中选择出最终要保留的PDCCH候选。
还需要说明的是,一个用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选可以包括一个或一个以上聚合级别的PDCCH候选。
应当理解的是,本实施例中最终映射的PDCCH候选即是最终保留的PDCCH候选。映射的PDCCH候选可以用于承载下行控制信息。
在本实施例中,第一选择规则包括:在从第一套用户特定搜索空间集合中的第一用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选时,将第一用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选全部映射,或者将第一用户特定搜索空间集合中的所有PDCCH候选全部不映射。例如以图3中的USS set 2为例,则要么将USS set 2中的两个PDCCH候选全部映射,要么就将USS set 2中的两个PDCCH候选全 部放弃,即都不映射。
在本实施例中,第二选择规则包括:在从第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选时,第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据下述方式中的至少一种进行映射:

值得注意的是,在根据PDCCH监测时刻索引的顺序进行映射时,可以将一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,才会映射下一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的所有PDCCH候选。
方式二:第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引的顺序映射。
应当理解的是,一个PDCCH监测时刻包括1个或多个PDCCH时域符号,不同PDCCH监测时刻的PDCCH起始符号不同,不同PDCCH候选监测时刻之间可以存在重叠的PDCCH时域符号。
在方式二中,其具体的实现方式与方式一类似。具体的,第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引由大到小的顺序选择PDCCH候选映射;或者,第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引由小到大的顺序选择PDCCH候选映射;或者,第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH起始符号索引交织的顺序选择PDCCH候选映射。
值得注意的是,在根据PDCCH起始符号索引的顺序进行映射时,可以将一个PDCCH起始符号索引对应的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,才会映射下一个PDCCH起始符号索引对应的所有PDCCH候选。
方式三:第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别的顺序映射。

在本实施例中,PDCCH候选第一映射模块202还可以同时采用方式一和方式三从第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选;具体的,可以根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别由高到低的顺序,依次在不同聚合级别中映射PDCCH候选;在进行映射时,将一个聚合级别映射对应的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一聚合级别对应的所有PDCCH候选。应当注意的是,在同一聚合级别中,根据所述聚合级别中的所有PDCCH候选对应的PDCCH监测时刻索引,按照PDCCH监测时刻索引由大到小的顺序,或者按照PDCCH监测时刻索引由小到大的顺序,或者按照PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序,映射所述聚合级别中的PDCCH候选;在同一聚合级别的PDCCH候选进行映射时,将一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的该聚合级别的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的该聚合级别的所有PDCCH候选。
在本实施例中,PDCCH候选第一映射模块202还可以同时采用方式二和方式三从第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。与同时采用方式一和方式三从第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选映射类似的,可以根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别由高到低的顺序,依次在不同聚合级别中映射PDCCH候选;在进行映射时,将一个聚合级别映射对应的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一聚合级别对应的所有PDCCH候选;而在同一聚合级别中,根据聚合级别中的所有PDCCH候选对应的PDCCH起始符号索引,按照PDCCH起始符号索引由大到小的顺序,或者按照PDCCH起始符号索引由小到大的顺序,或者按照PDCCH起始符号索引交织的顺序,映射所述聚合级别中的PDCCH候选;在同一聚合级别的PDCCH候选进行映射时,将一个PDCCH起始符号索引对应的该聚合级别的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一个PDCCH起始符号索引对应的该聚合级别的所有PDCCH候选。

具体的,在本实施例中,PDCCH候选第一映射模块202可以按照以下方式来划分第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的第一套PDCCH候选和第二套PDCCH候选:
对于第一套PDCCH候选可以通过以下方式选取:
1.可以根据PDCCH监测时刻索引顺序从第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中选择出第一套PDCCH候选。

具体的,与上述1类似,PDCCH候选第一映射模块202可以从所述PDCCH起始符号索引对应的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中,选择n(n大于等于1)个PDCCH候选构成第一套PDCCH候选。应当理解的是,此时在各PDCCH起始符号索引对应的PDCCH候选中选取的PDCCH候选所对应的聚合级别没有要求,可以是任意聚合级别的。
4.可以根据PDCCH起始符号索引和PDCCH候选的聚合级别从第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中选择出第一套PDCCH候选。
具体的,与上述2类似,PDCCH候选第一映射模块202可以从所述PDCCH起始符号索引对应的第二用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选中,选择n(n大于等于1)个聚合级别最高的PDCCH候选构成第一套PDCCH候选。
在本实施的一种具体实施方式中,n可以取1或2。
对于第二套PDCCH候选,PDCCH候选第一映射模块202可以将第二用户特定搜索空间集合中除第一套PDCCH候选之外的其余PDCCH候选作为第二套PDCCH候选。例如参见图10所示,除去第一套PDCCH候选中的四个PDCCH之外剩余的所有PDCCH即构成了第二套PDCCH候选。
在本实施例中,第三选择规则包括:第一套PDCCH候选根据下述方式中的至少一种进行选择:
方式四:第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引的顺序映射。

或者,第一套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH候选的聚合级别由高到低的顺序以及PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序映射PDCCH候选。在进行映射时,可以将一个聚合级别映射对应的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一聚合级别对应的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选;在同一聚合级别的第一套PDCCH候选进行映射时,将一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的该聚合级别的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选映射完毕之后,再映射下一个PDCCH监测时刻索引对应的该聚合级别的第一套PDCCH候选中的所有PDCCH候选。

在本实施例中,第一套PDCCH候选可以优先于第二套PDCCH候选进行选择。即,在第一套PDCCH候选中映射PDCCH候选之后,才在第二套PDCCH候选中映射PDCCH候选。
在对第二套PDCCH候选进行选择时,第四选择规则包括:第二套PDCCH候选根据下述方式中的至少一种进行选择:

在第二套PDCCH候选根据PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序映射PDCCH候选时,具体的,可以仅根据PDCCH监测时刻索引交织的顺序映射PDCCH候选。
应当理解的是,在本实施例中PDCCH候选第一映射模块202对于用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选进行映射时,是按照各用户特定搜索空间集合在当前时隙内,各载波上的预设映射顺序来进行映射的。
在本实施例中,候选信道映射装置20应当预先知晓终端的对于PDCCH候选监测次数的处理门限值,并知晓终端的对于CCE的处理门限值。
在本实施例中,参见图21所示,候选信道映射装置20还包括第一门限值控制模块203。第一门限值控制模块203用于控制使得映射的总PDCCH候选对应的PDCCH候选监测次数小于等于所述终端的PDCCH候选监测次数的处理门限值,且映射的总PDCCH候选对应的CCE数目小于等于终端的CCE处理门限值。本实施例中所述的映射的总PDCCH候选包含所述用户特定搜索空间集合中映射的PDCCH候选与公共搜索空间集合中映射的PDCCH候选。

PDCCH候选第二映射模块222用于使用第一映射规则在第一套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选;以及使用第二映射规则在第二套用户特定搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选。
应当理解的是,本实施例中所述的映射即是指的选择。例如上述“在公共搜索空间集合中映射PDCCH候选”即是指的:在公共搜索空间集合中选择出最终要保留的PDCCH候选。
还需要说明的是,一个用户特定搜索空间集合中的PDCCH候选可以包括一个或一个以上聚合级别的PDCCH候选。
