为方便理解，首先介绍一下本申请实施例中涉及到的部分概念和用语。To facilitate understanding, first introduce some concepts and terms used in the embodiments of the present application.
1)射频链路，在上行方向的射频链路可以称为射频发射链路，下行方向上的射频链路可以称为射频接收链路。如图1所示，终端在基带生成的基带信号，经过射频发射链路生成射频信号，将射频信号经过天线发送。类似的，终端从天线接收的信号经过射频接收链路进行接收，到达基带进行处理。射频链路包括射频集成电路、功率放大器、和双工器/滤波器。终端可以接入多个网络设备，终端通过多个射频链路与多个网络设备进行通信，一个射频链路可以对应一个网络设备，例如，终端可以接入2个或4个网络设备。具体的，终端可以通过DC的方式接入多个网络设备，也可以通过CA的方式接入多个网络设备。射频链路可以是集成在射频芯片中，或者也可以与基带处理电路一同集成在同一芯片中。1) Radio frequency link. The radio frequency link in the uplink direction can be called a radio frequency transmission link, and the radio frequency link in the downlink direction can be called a radio frequency reception link. As shown in FIG. 1, the baseband signal generated by the terminal in baseband is generated through a radio frequency transmission link, and the radio frequency signal is transmitted through an antenna. Similarly, the signal received by the terminal from the antenna is received via the radio frequency receiving link and reaches the baseband for processing. The RF link includes a radio frequency integrated circuit, a power amplifier, and a duplexer / filter. The terminal can access multiple network devices, and the terminal communicates with multiple network devices through multiple radio frequency links. One radio frequency link can correspond to one network device. For example, the terminal can access two or four network devices. Specifically, the terminal can access multiple network devices through DC, and can also access multiple network devices through CA. The radio frequency link may be integrated in a radio frequency chip, or may be integrated in the same chip together with the baseband processing circuit.
2)DC，DC是终端在无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)连接态(即RRC_CONNECTED态)下的一种模式，网络设备为终端配置了一个主小区组(master cell group，MCG)和一个辅小区组(secondary cell group，SCG)。如果网络设备支持DC，RRC_CONNECTED态的终端可以配置为使用两个不同的网络设备提供的无线资源。例如，如图3a所示，在长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)中，终端被配置为使用两个eNB提供的无线资源，两个eNB由X2接口连接，一个作为主基站(Master eNB，MeNB)，一个作为辅基站(Secondary eNB，SeNB)。DC中一个终端与一个MeNB和一个SeNB相连接。又如图3b所示，在新无线(new radio，NR)中，可以采用LTE-NR双连接的方式，终端被配置为使用LTE中的eNB和NR中的gNB提供的无线资源，可选的，eNB作为主基站，gNB作为辅基站。如图3c所示，当然也可以采用NR-LTE双连接的方式，gNB作为主基站，eNB作为辅基站。如图3d所示，还可以采用NR-NR双连接的方式，终端被配置为使用两个gNB提供的无线资源，一个作为主基站，一个作为辅基站。2) DC, DC is a mode in which the terminal is in a radio resource control (RRC) connection state (ie, RRC_CONNECTED state). The network device configures a terminal with a master cell group (MCG) and a Secondary cell group (SCG). If the network device supports DC, the terminal in the RRC_CONNECTED state can be configured to use the wireless resources provided by two different network devices. For example, as shown in FIG. 3a, in long term evolution (LTE), a terminal is configured to use wireless resources provided by two eNBs, two eNBs are connected by an X2 interface, and one is a master base station (Master eNB, MeNB). ), One as a secondary base station (Secondary eNB, SeNB). A terminal in DC is connected to a MeNB and a SeNB. As shown in FIG. 3b, in the new radio (NR), the LTE-NR dual connection method can be adopted. The terminal is configured to use the wireless resources provided by the eNB in LTE and the gNB in NR. Optional The eNB serves as the primary base station and the gNB serves as the secondary base station. As shown in FIG. 3c, of course, an NR-LTE dual connection mode can also be adopted, with gNB as the primary base station and eNB as the secondary base station. As shown in FIG. 3d, the NR-NR dual connection mode may also be adopted, and the terminal is configured to use the radio resources provided by two gNBs, one as a primary base station and one as a secondary base station.
3)天线端口，在网络侧，射频链路和天线可以抽象为天线端口的概念。当终端具有N个射频链路时，该终端最多支持同时使用N个天线端口与网络设备进行通信。例如，N＝2，终端具有两个射频链路，该终端最多支持同时使用两个天线端口与网络设备进行通信。实际应用中，可以是每个射频链路对应一个天线端口，也可以是多个射频链路对应一个天线端口。如果终端使用一个天线端口与网络设备进行通信，则终端可以使用两个射频链路中的任意一个链路对应到这个天线端口，也可以同时使用两个射频链路模拟成一个天线端口，这取决于终端侧的具体实现，对网络设备而言是透明的，网络设备只需要调度终端在哪些天线端口上发送上行信号。3) Antenna port. On the network side, the RF link and antenna can be abstracted as the concept of an antenna port. When a terminal has N radio frequency links, the terminal supports a maximum of N antenna ports to communicate with network equipment at the same time. For example, N = 2, the terminal has two radio frequency links, and the terminal supports a maximum of two antenna ports to communicate with the network device at the same time. In practical applications, each radio frequency link may correspond to one antenna port, or multiple radio frequency links may correspond to one antenna port. If the terminal uses one antenna port to communicate with the network equipment, the terminal can use either one of the two radio frequency links to correspond to this antenna port, or it can simultaneously use two radio frequency links to simulate an antenna port, which depends on The specific implementation on the terminal side is transparent to the network equipment, and the network equipment only needs to schedule which antenna ports the terminal sends uplink signals on.
4)天线能力，天线能力包括：天线端口数量、层数、射频链路数量、天线数量、最大天线端口数 量、最大层数、最大射频链路数量或最大天线数量。其中，层数指的是发送数据做预编码的时候，其中包含的互不相关的信号的流数。比如终端使用四个天线端口发送数据，但是使用该四个天线端口发送的是相同的数据，或者说是相关的数据，那么可以理解为终端使用该四个天线端口发送了一流数据，或者说发送了一层数据。再比如，四个天线端口包括端口0、端口1、端口2和端口3，终端使用端口0和端口1发送相同或相关的一流数据，终端使用端口2和端口3发送相同或相关的另一流数据，那么可以理解为终端发送两层数据。本申请实施例的描述中，涉及到天线端口为示例性描述的，其方法也可以应用到其它天线能力的表现形式中。本申请中当描述“上行通信能力包括”时，可以替换为“上行通信能力指示”，两者表述的意思等价，当描述“上行通信能力指示”时，可以替换为“上行通信能力包括”，两者表述的意思等价。4) Antenna capabilities. Antenna capabilities include: number of antenna ports, number of layers, number of RF links, number of antennas, maximum number of antenna ports, maximum number of layers, maximum number of RF links, or maximum number of antennas. The number of layers refers to the number of streams of signals that are not related to each other when the data is sent for precoding. For example, the terminal uses four antenna ports to send data, but uses the four antenna ports to send the same data, or related data, then it can be understood that the terminal uses the four antenna ports to send first-class data, or to send A layer of data. For another example, the four antenna ports include port 0, port 1, port 2 and port 3. The terminal uses port 0 and port 1 to send the same or related first-class data, and the terminal uses port 2 and port 3 to send the same or related another stream data. , Then it can be understood that the terminal sends two layers of data. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the antenna port is described as an example, and the method may also be applied to other forms of antenna capability. When describing "uplink communication capability includes" in this application, it can be replaced by "uplink communication capability indication", which is equivalent in meaning. When describing "uplink communication capability indication", it can be replaced by "uplink communication capability include" , The meaning of the two expressions is equivalent.
5)时分复用模式，是网络设备向终端配置的，用于指示终端在时域上的通信模式。如图4所示，时分复用模式指示交替排列的多个时长，例如，时分复用模式指示交替排列的两个时长，包括第一时长和第二时长，第一时长和第二时长相邻，在时域上交替排列，第一时长和第二时长可以相等，也可以不等。网络设备还向终端配置时分复用模式的功能信息，用于向该终端指示该时分复用模式的用途，终端根据该时分复用模式的功能信息，按照该时分复用模式进行通信。例如，时分复用模式的功能可以配置为是否允许终端向网络设备发送上行信号，如第一时长为允许终端向网络设备发送上行信号的时间资源，第二时长为不允许向网络设备发送信号的时间资源。若终端接入第一网络设备和第二网络设备，则第一时长为允许终端向第二网络设备发送上行信号的时间资源，同时第一时长为不允许向第一网络设备发送上行信号的资源；类似的，第二时长为不允许向第二网络设备发送上行信号的时间资源，也为允许向第一网络设备发送上行信号的资源。又例如，时分复用模式的功能还可以配置为终端向网络设备发送信号时天线能力取值的转换，如第一时长为终端向网络设备发送信号时的天线能力的取值为第一值，第二时长为终端向网络设备发送信号时的天线能力的取值为第二值。5) The time division multiplexing mode is configured by the network device to the terminal, and is used to indicate the communication mode of the terminal in the time domain. As shown in FIG. 4, the time division multiplexing mode indicates multiple durations that are alternately arranged. For example, the time division multiplexing mode indicates two durations that are alternately arranged, including a first duration and a second duration, and the first duration and the second duration are adjacent to each other. , Arranged alternately in the time domain, the first duration and the second duration may be equal or different. The network device also configures the terminal with function information of the time division multiplexing mode for indicating to the terminal the purpose of the time division multiplexing mode. The terminal communicates according to the time division multiplexing mode according to the function information of the time division multiplexing mode. For example, the function of the time division multiplexing mode can be configured as to whether the terminal is allowed to send uplink signals to the network device. For example, the first duration is a time resource that allows the terminal to send uplink signals to the network device, and the second duration is that the terminal is not allowed to send signals to the network device Time resources. If the terminal accesses the first network device and the second network device, the first duration is a time resource that allows the terminal to send an uplink signal to the second network device, and the first duration is a resource that does not allow the uplink signal to be sent to the first network device ; Similarly, the second duration is a time resource that is not allowed to send an uplink signal to the second network device, and is also a resource that is allowed to send an uplink signal to the first network device. For another example, the function of the time division multiplexing mode may also be configured as a conversion of the antenna capability value when the terminal sends a signal to a network device. For example, the first duration is the value of the antenna capability when the terminal sends a signal to the network device. The second duration is a second value of the antenna capability when the terminal sends a signal to the network device.
举例来说，终端通过LTE-NR双连接的方式接入第一网络设备和第二网络设备，第一网络设备为NR中的网络设备，第二网络设备为LTE中的网络设备，在这种场景下，某些频段的组合可能存在交调干扰。比如，LTE工作在1.8GHz频段，NR工作在3.5GHz频段时，NR系统的工作频率约为LTE系统的工作频率的两倍，LTE发送的信号产生的二次谐波会对NR产生交调干扰。在LTE-NR双连接的场景下，主基站会给终端配置时分复用模式(time division multiplexing，TDM)pattern，该TDM pattern指示为下行子帧或者特殊子帧的时间资源内，终端不能向第二网络设备发送上行信号，那么在这些时间资源内终端是可以向第一网络设备发送上行信号的；在该TDM pattern指示为上行子帧的时间资源内，终端可以向第二网络设备发送上行信号，那么在这些时间资源内终端是不允许向第一网络设备发送上行信号的。该TDM pattern可以保证终端在同一时间只向LTE侧或者只向NR侧发送上行信号，从而避免了交调干扰。该TDM pattern是通过参数subframeAssignment-r15来指示的。第一网络设备或第二网络设备向终端发送参数subframeAssignment-r15，终端接收参数subframeAssignment-r15，根据接收到的该参数subframeAssignment-r15来确定TDM pattern。For example, the terminal accesses the first network device and the second network device through LTE-NR dual connection. The first network device is a network device in NR, and the second network device is a network device in LTE. In the scenario, some combinations of frequency bands may have intermodulation interference. For example, when LTE works in the 1.8GHz frequency band and NR works in the 3.5GHz frequency band, the working frequency of the NR system is about twice the working frequency of the LTE system. The second harmonic generated by the signal sent by the LTE will cause intermodulation interference to the NR. . In the LTE-NR dual connection scenario, the master base station will configure the terminal with a time division multiplexing (TDM) pattern. The TDM pattern indicates the downlink sub-frame or special sub-frame time resources. If the two network devices send uplink signals, the terminal can send uplink signals to the first network device within these time resources. Within the time resources indicated by the TDM pattern as uplink subframes, the terminal can send uplink signals to the second network device. , Then the terminal is not allowed to send an uplink signal to the first network device within these time resources. The TDM pattern can ensure that the terminal sends uplink signals only to the LTE side or only to the NR side at the same time, thereby avoiding intermodulation interference. The TDM pattern is indicated by the parameter subframeAssignment-r15. The first network device or the second network device sends a parameter subframeAssignment-r15 to the terminal, and the terminal receives the parameter subframeAssignment-r15, and determines the TDM pattern according to the received parameter subframeAssignment-r15.
subframeAssignment-r15的取值如下所示：The values of subframeAssignment-r15 are as follows:
SubframeAssignment-r15::＝ENUMERATED{sa0,sa1,sa2,sa3,sa4,sa5,sa6}。SubframeAssignment-r15 :: = ENUMERATED {sa0, sa1, sa2, sa3, sa4, sa5, sa6}.
其中，saX代表LTE中的上下行配置X。LTE共有7种上下行配置，具体配置如表1所示，D代表下行子帧，U代表上行子帧，S代表特殊子帧。Among them, saX represents the uplink and downlink configuration X in LTE. There are 7 uplink and downlink configurations in LTE. The specific configurations are shown in Table 1. D represents a downlink subframe, U represents an uplink subframe, and S represents a special subframe.

For convenience of description, the two network devices are represented by a first network device and a second network device. The second network devices can communicate with each other through an X2 interface. For example, the first network device and the second network device are network devices in different communication standard systems, and the terminal establishes a dual connection with the first network device and the second network device through a DC connection method; for example, the first network device and the second network device The two network devices are network devices in the same communication standard system, and the terminal accesses the first network device and the second network device through a carrier aggregation (CA) method. No matter which way the two network devices are accessed, one of the two network devices is a primary base station and the other network device is a secondary base station. Before executing the communication method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal needs to establish a connection with the first network device or the second network device, and establishing the connection may refer to establishing an RRC connection. If the terminal establishes a connection with the first network device, the first network device is the primary base station and the second network device is the secondary base station. The terminal can directly send a signal to the first network device. If the terminal needs to send a signal to the second network device, The terminal needs to send the signal to the first network device first, and the signal is transmitted from the first network device to the second network device, and the signal may be RRC signaling. Similarly, if the terminal establishes a connection with the second network device, the second network device is the primary base station and the first network device is the secondary base station. The terminal can directly send a signal to the second network device. If the terminal needs to send a signal to the first network device Signal, the terminal needs to send the signal to the second network device first, and the second network device transmits the signal to the first network device, and the signal may be RRC signaling.
本申请实施例中，终端与第一网络设备进行通信的射频链路以及终端与第二网络设备进行通信的射频链路不同，假设终端向第一网络设备发送信号时使用第一射频链路，终端与第二网络设备发送信号时使用第二射频链路，当终端不向第二网络设备发送信号时，第二射频链路为闲置的射频链路，终端可以联合使用第一射频链路和闲置的第二射频链路向第一网络设备发送信号，这样能够提高向第一网络设备发送信号的功率，实现射频链路共享，提高射频链路的使用率，提升上行传输速率。当然，第一射频链路的数量可以是一个，也可以是多个。同样，第二射频链路的数量可以是一个，也可以是多个。射频链路是终端的天线能力的一种表现形式，基于上述应用背景，终端向第一网络设备发送信号时的天线能力的取值包括两种取值，一种取值对应终端使用第一射频链路的数量，另一种取值对应终端使用第一射频链路和闲置的第二射频链路的总数量。In the embodiment of the present application, the radio frequency link that the terminal uses to communicate with the first network device and the radio frequency link that the terminal uses to communicate with the second network device are different. It is assumed that the terminal uses the first radio frequency link when sending a signal to the first network device. When the terminal sends a signal with the second network device, the second radio frequency link is used. When the terminal does not send a signal to the second network device, the second radio frequency link is an idle radio frequency link. The terminal can use the first radio frequency link and The idle second radio frequency link sends a signal to the first network device, so that the power of sending the signal to the first network device can be increased, the radio frequency link sharing can be realized, the utilization rate of the radio frequency link can be increased, and the uplink transmission rate can be improved. Of course, the number of the first radio frequency links may be one or multiple. Similarly, the number of the second radio frequency links may be one or multiple. A radio frequency link is a manifestation of the antenna capability of a terminal. Based on the above application background, the antenna capability value when the terminal sends a signal to the first network device includes two values, one value corresponds to the terminal using the first radio frequency. The number of links. Another value corresponds to the total number of first radio frequency links and idle second radio frequency links used by the terminal.
本申请实施例的基本思想是，终端需要向第一网络设备上报终端的天线能力的两种取值，并上报两种取值的应用场景，即应用场景与天线能力取值的对应关系，这样第一网络设备才能获知终端具备天线能力的取值变换的能力，才能够确定在不同的应用场景下终端的天线能力的取值，使用正确的取值来接收上行信号，从而正确接收并解析数据，。The basic idea of the embodiment of the present application is that the terminal needs to report the two values of the antenna capability of the terminal to the first network device, and report the two application scenarios of the two values, that is, the correspondence between the application scenario and the antenna capability value. Only the first network device can know that the terminal has the ability to change the value of the antenna capability, can it determine the value of the terminal's antenna capability in different application scenarios, use the correct value to receive the uplink signal, and then correctly receive and parse the data .
基于上述描述和图2所示的通信系统架构，结合图5所示，下面详细介绍一下本申请实施例提供的通信方法之一。Based on the above description and the communication system architecture shown in FIG. 2, and in combination with FIG. 5, one of the communication methods provided by the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below.

为方便描述，这里的网络设备为第一网络设备。For ease of description, the network device here is a first network device.
如上所述，当第一网络设备为主基站时，终端向第一网络设备上报该终端的上行通信能力是指： 终端直接向第一网络设备上报该终端的上行通信能力，第一网络设备直接接收该终端上报的上行通信能力。当第二网络设备为主基站时，终端向第一网络设备上报该终端的上行通信能力是指：终端通过第二网络设备向第一网络设备上报该终端的上行通信能力。第一网络设备接收终端上报的该终端的上行通信能力是指：第一网络设备通过第二网络设备接收终端上报的该终端的上行通信能力。具体的，终端先向第二网络设备上报该终端的上行通信能力，第二网络设备接收该终端的上行通信能力后，将该终端的上行通信能力通过X2接口传递给第一网络设备。As described above, when the first network device is the master base station, the terminal reporting the terminal's uplink communication capability to the first network device means that the terminal directly reports the terminal's uplink communication capability to the first network device, and the first network device directly Receive the uplink communication capability reported by the terminal. When the second network device is the master base station, the terminal reporting the uplink communication capability of the terminal to the first network device means that the terminal reports the uplink communication capability of the terminal to the first network device through the second network device. The uplink communication capability of the terminal received by the first network device from the terminal refers to: the first network device receives the uplink communication capability of the terminal from the terminal through the second network device. Specifically, the terminal first reports the uplink communication capability of the terminal to the second network device, and after receiving the uplink communication capability of the terminal, the second network device transmits the uplink communication capability of the terminal to the first network device through the X2 interface.
终端的上行通信能力包括：终端向第一网络设备发送信号时的天线能力，以及该天线能力的应用场景。天线能力的取值包括第一取值和第二取值，天线能力的应用场景包括：终端被配置时分复用模式以及终端未被配置时分复用模式。终端如果接收到第一网络设备或第二网络设备发送的配置信息，则表明终端被配置时分复用模式；终端若未接收到第一网络设备或第二网络设备发送的配置信息，则表明终端未被配置时分复用模式。其中，配置信息用于配置时分复用模式。具体地，该终端的上行通信能力指示：在该终端未被配置时分复用模式时，该终端向第一网络设备发送信号时的天线能力包括第一取值；在该终端被配置时分复用模式时，该终端向第一网络设备发送信号时的天线能力包括第二取值。其中，第一取值和第二取值为数量值，该终端向第一网络设备发送信号时的天线能力包括第一取值，还包括该第一取值的含义，比如该第一取值用于天线端口数，或用于层数等；类似的，该终端向第一网络设备发送信号时的天线能力包括第二取值，还包括第二取值的含义，比如该第二取值用于天线端口数，或用于层数等。举例来说，第一取值为1，终端上报的上行通信能力指示：该终端向第一网络设备发送信号时的天线能力为1端口(即one port)、或者为1层(即one layer)；第二取值为2，终端上报的上行通信能力指示：该终端向第一网络设备发送信号时的天线能力为2端口(即two ports)、或者为2层(即two layers)。The uplink communication capability of the terminal includes an antenna capability when the terminal sends a signal to the first network device, and an application scenario of the antenna capability. The antenna capability values include the first and second values. Application scenarios of the antenna capability include: the terminal is configured with a time division multiplexing mode and the terminal is not configured with a time division multiplexing mode. If the terminal receives the configuration information sent by the first network device or the second network device, it indicates that the terminal is configured with the time division multiplexing mode; if the terminal does not receive the configuration information sent by the first network device or the second network device, it indicates that the terminal The time division multiplexing mode is not configured. The configuration information is used to configure a time division multiplexing mode. Specifically, the terminal's uplink communication capability indication: when the terminal is not configured with a time division multiplexing mode, the antenna capability when the terminal sends a signal to the first network device includes a first value; when the terminal is configured with time division multiplexing In the mode, the antenna capability when the terminal sends a signal to the first network device includes a second value. The first value and the second value are quantity values. The antenna capability when the terminal sends a signal to the first network device includes the first value, and also includes the meaning of the first value, such as the first value. Used for the number of antenna ports, or for the number of layers, etc. Similarly, the antenna capability of the terminal when sending signals to the first network device includes a second value, and also includes the meaning of the second value, such as the second value Used for the number of antenna ports, or for the number of layers. For example, the first value is 1, and the uplink communication capability reported by the terminal indicates that the antenna capability of the terminal when transmitting signals to the first network device is port 1 (ie, one port), or layer 1 (ie, one layer). ; The second value is 2, and the uplink communication capability reported by the terminal indicates that the antenna capability of the terminal when transmitting signals to the first network device is 2 ports (ie, two ports), or layer 2 (ie, two layers).
天线能力的表现形式可以包括但不限于：天线端口数量、层数、射频链路数量、天线数量、最大天线端口数量、最大层数、最大射频链路数量或最大天线数量，在一个可能的实现方式中，天线能力的第一取值可以是多种表现形式的取值的组合，类似的，天线能力的第二取值也可以是多种表现形式的取值的组合。其中，该第一取值包括：天线端口数量、层数、射频链路数量、天线数量、最大天线端口数量、最大层数、最大射频链路数量或最大天线数量的取值，该第二取值包括：天线端口数量、层数、射频链路数量、天线数量、最大天线端口数量、最大层数、最大射频链路数量或最大天线数量的取值。第一取值包括的多种表现形式可以与第二取值包括的多种表现形式的范围相同，也可以不同。第一取值和第二取值可以是相同表现形式的取值，例如都是最大天线端口数量的取值，或都是最大层数的取值；也可以是不同表现形式的取值，例如第一取值是最大天线端口数量的取值，第二取值是最大层数的取值。The manifestation of the antenna capability may include, but is not limited to: the number of antenna ports, the number of layers, the number of RF links, the number of antennas, the maximum number of antenna ports, the maximum number of layers, the maximum number of RF links, or the maximum number of antennas. In the method, the first value of the antenna capability may be a combination of values of multiple expressions. Similarly, the second value of the antenna capability may be a combination of values of multiple expressions. The first value includes: the number of antenna ports, the number of layers, the number of radio frequency links, the number of antennas, the maximum number of antenna ports, the maximum number of layers, the maximum number of radio frequency links, or the maximum number of antennas. The second value Values include: the number of antenna ports, the number of layers, the number of RF links, the number of antennas, the maximum number of antenna ports, the maximum number of layers, the maximum number of RF links, or the maximum number of antennas. The range of the multiple expressions included in the first value may be the same as or different from the range of the multiple expressions included in the second value. The first value and the second value can be values of the same expression, for example, both the value of the maximum antenna port number, or both of the maximum number of layers; they can also be the values of different expressions, such as The first value is the maximum number of antenna ports, and the second value is the maximum number of layers.
步骤502、终端使用该天线能力向该第一网络设备发送信号，第一网络设备接收该终端发送的信号。Step 502: The terminal uses the antenna capability to send a signal to the first network device, and the first network device receives a signal sent by the terminal.
具体的，在该终端未被配置时分复用模式时，终端使用第一取值的天线能力向第一网络设备发送信号。例如，第一取值为最大天线端口数量的取值，第一取值为1，那么终端最多使用一个天线端口向第一网络设备发送信号；又例如，第一取值为最大层数的取值，第一取值为1，那么终端进行上行传输时最多向第一网络设备发送一层数据。Specifically, when the terminal is not configured with the time division multiplexing mode, the terminal sends a signal to the first network device by using the antenna capability of the first value. For example, if the first value is the maximum number of antenna ports and the first value is 1, then the terminal uses a maximum of one antenna port to send signals to the first network device; for example, the first value is the maximum number of layers Value, the first value is 1, then the terminal sends up to one layer of data to the first network device during uplink transmission.
在该终端被配置时分复用模式时，终端使用第二取值的天线能力向第一网络设备发送信号。例如，第二取值为最大天线端口数量的取值，第二取值为2，那么终端最多使用两个天线端口向第一网络设备发送信号；又例如，第二取值为最大层数的取值，第二取值为2，那么终端进行上行传输时最多向第一网络设备发送两层数据。When the terminal is configured in the time division multiplexing mode, the terminal sends a signal to the first network device by using the second-valued antenna capability. For example, if the second value is the maximum number of antenna ports, and the second value is 2, the terminal uses a maximum of two antenna ports to send signals to the first network device; for example, the second value is the maximum number of layers Value, the second value is 2, then the terminal sends up to two layers of data to the first network device during uplink transmission.
上述通信方法之一描述的时分复用模式是主基站给终端配置的，具体的为第一网络设备或第二网络设备给终端配置的。该时分复用模式用于向终端指示允许向第二网络设备发送信号的时间资源和不允 许向第二网络设备发送信号的时间资源，为避免干扰，终端在允许向第二网络设备发送信号的时间资源上不会向第一网络设备发送信号，终端在不允许向第二网络设备发送信号的时间资源上可以向第一网络设备发送信号。这样，终端可以根据该时分复用模式在同一时间资源上只向第一网络设备和第二网络设备中的一个网络设备发送信号，从而避免交调干扰。所谓交调干扰是指终端向第一网络设备和第二网络设备同时发送信号时，向第二网络设备发送的信号可能会对向第一网络设备发送的信号产生的干扰。The time division multiplexing mode described in one of the above communication methods is configured by the master base station to the terminal, and specifically configured by the first network device or the second network device to the terminal. This time division multiplexing mode is used to indicate to the terminal time resources that are allowed to send signals to the second network device and time resources that are not allowed to send signals to the second network device. In order to avoid interference, the terminal is allowed to send signals to the second network device. The time resource does not send a signal to the first network device, and the terminal may send a signal to the first network device on a time resource that is not allowed to send a signal to the second network device. In this way, the terminal can send signals to only one of the first network device and the second network device on the same time resource according to the time division multiplexing mode, thereby avoiding intermodulation interference. The so-called intermodulation interference refers to the interference that a signal sent to a second network device may generate on a signal sent to a first network device when a terminal sends signals to a first network device and a second network device at the same time.
基于此，在终端未被配置时分复用模式的应用场景下，终端的天线能力的取值包括第一取值，即终端始终使用第一网络设备对应的射频链路向第一网络设备发送信号。例如，第一取值为1，终端使用与第一网络设备对应的一条射频链路向第一网络设备发送信号，也就是，终端使用第一网络设备对应的一个天线端口向第一网络设备发送信号。Based on this, in an application scenario where the terminal is not configured with a time division multiplexing mode, the value of the antenna capability of the terminal includes a first value, that is, the terminal always sends a signal to the first network device using a radio frequency link corresponding to the first network device. . For example, if the first value is 1, the terminal sends a signal to the first network device using a radio frequency link corresponding to the first network device, that is, the terminal sends to the first network device using an antenna port corresponding to the first network device. signal.
在终端被配置时分复用模式的应用场景下，终端的天线能力的取值包括第二取值，第二取值大于第一取值，即终端联合使用第一网络设备对应的射频链路和第二网络设备闲置的射频链路向第一网络设备发送信号。具体的，在终端被配置时分复用模式的应用场景下，终端向第一网络设备发送信号的时间资源上均不会向第二网络设备发送信号，因此终端与第二网络设备之间的射频链路是闲置的，终端可以将与第二网络设备之间的射频链路与第一网络设备对应的射频链路联合向第一网络设备发送信号。射频链路与天线端口对应，例如，第二取值为2，在终端允许向第二网络设备发送信号的时间资源上，终端使用一个天线端口(假设为天线端口2)向第二网络设备发送信号；在终端不允许向第二网络设备发送信号的时间资源上，终端使用两个天线端口向第一网络设备发送信号，该两个天线端口包括天线端口2和天线端口1。也就是说，在终端被配置时分复用模式的应用场景下，终端向第一网络设备发送信号时的天线能力的取值为2。该取值可以意味着，终端始终使用两个天线端口(包括天线端口1和天线端口2)向第一网络设备发送信号，也可以意味着，终端最多使用两个天线端口向第一网络设备发送信号。最多使用两个天线端口时，终端可以只使用天线端口1来向第一网络设备发送信号。In an application scenario in which the terminal is configured with a time division multiplexing mode, the value of the antenna capability of the terminal includes a second value, and the second value is greater than the first value, that is, the terminal jointly uses the radio frequency link corresponding to the first network device and The idle radio frequency link of the second network device sends a signal to the first network device. Specifically, in an application scenario in which the terminal is configured with a time division multiplexing mode, the terminal does not send a signal to the second network device on the time resource of the signal sent by the terminal to the first network device, so the radio frequency between the terminal and the second network device The link is idle, and the terminal may send a signal to the first network device jointly by the radio frequency link between the second network device and the radio frequency link corresponding to the first network device. The radio frequency link corresponds to the antenna port. For example, the second value is 2. On the time resource that the terminal is allowed to send signals to the second network device, the terminal uses one antenna port (assuming antenna port 2) to send to the second network device. Signal; on a time resource where the terminal is not allowed to send a signal to the second network device, the terminal uses two antenna ports to send a signal to the first network device, and the two antenna ports include antenna port 2 and antenna port 1. In other words, in an application scenario in which the terminal is configured with a time division multiplexing mode, the value of the antenna capability when the terminal sends a signal to the first network device is 2. This value can mean that the terminal always uses two antenna ports (including antenna port 1 and antenna port 2) to send signals to the first network device, or it can mean that the terminal uses up to two antenna ports to send signals to the first network device. signal. When a maximum of two antenna ports are used, the terminal may use only antenna port 1 to send signals to the first network device.
上述第一取值和第二取值仅仅是举例，当然第一取值还可以为其它值，例如第一取值为2，4、8……；同样，第二取值也可以为其它值，例如第二取值为4、8、16、……。The above first and second values are just examples, of course, the first value can also be other values, for example, the first value can be 2, 4, 8 ...; Similarly, the second value can also be other values. For example, the second value is 4, 8, 16, ...

The terminal receives the configuration information sent by the first network device or the second network device. The configuration information includes the parameter subframeAssignment-r15, which is used to indicate the TDM pattern. The terminal TDM pattern is determined according to the parameter subframeAssignment-r15.

需要说明的是，第二IE和第三IE可以携带于第二消息中发送，也可以携带于两条消息中发送。It should be noted that the second IE and the third IE may be carried in the second message and sent, or carried in two messages.
举个例子，终端向第一网络设备发送信号的天线能力的表现形式为层数，在MIMO相关的能力上报中，终端可以通过以下方法向第一网络设备上报上行通信能力。终端上报maxNumberMIMO-LayersCB-PUSCH和maxNumberMIMO-LayersNonCB-PUSCH的取值为twoLayers，并附加说明，该能力是用于终端配置TDM pattern时的通信能力。终端还会上报另外一套参数，配置maxNumberMIMO-LayersCB-PUSCH和maxNumberMIMO-LayersNonCB-PUSCH的取值为oneLayer，并附加说明，该能力是用于终端未被配置TDM pattern时的通信能力。该说明可以通过文字方式描述，也可以通过新增加一个RRC参数来指示。比如新增加一个RRC参数为usage ENUMRATED{TDM,nonTDM}。For example, the expression of the antenna capability of the terminal sending signals to the first network device is the number of layers.

The description can be described in text, or it can be indicated by adding a new RRC parameter. For example, a newly added RRC parameter is usage ENUMRATED {TDM, nonTDM}.
在上述通信方法之一中，终端向网络设备上报的上行通信能力包括天线能力的两种取值。以终端向第一网络设备发送信号时的天线能力为最大天线端口数量为例，两种取值为1和2，即单端口和双端口。若采用现有技术的手段，终端向网络设备上报的天线能力为单端口，则终端始终最多支持单端口发送上行信号，终端向网络设备上报的天线能力为双端口，则终端始终最多支持双端口发送上行信号。本申请实施例提供的通信方法之一中，终端向第一网络设备发送信号时天线能力的取值是在单端口和双端口之间变化的，若终端采用现有技术的上报方式，在上报天线能力为单端口时，网络设备不会调度终端进行双端口的发送，即不能实现本申请实施例要求达到的使用闲置射频链路的有益效果，若终端采用现有技术的上报方式，在上报天线能力为双端口时，网络设备不能区分终端始终可以使用双端口发送信号还是机会性的可以使用双端口发送。因此，采用上述通信方法之一所描述的上报方法，终端能够向第一网络设备上报两种取值的天线能力，以及两种取值的天线能力的应用场景。In one of the above communication methods, the uplink communication capability reported by the terminal to the network device includes two values of the antenna capability. Taking the antenna capability when the terminal sends a signal to the first network device as an example, the maximum number of antenna ports is used. The two values are 1 and 2, that is, a single port and a dual port. If the antenna technology reported by the terminal to the network device is a single port, the terminal always supports a single port to send uplink signals at most, and the antenna capability reported by the terminal to the network device is a dual port, and the terminal always supports a maximum of two ports. Send an upstream signal. In one of the communication methods provided in the embodiments of the present application, when the terminal sends a signal to the first network device, the value of the antenna capability is changed between a single port and a dual port. If the terminal uses the prior art reporting method, When the antenna capability is a single port, the network device does not schedule the terminal to perform dual-port transmission, that is, the beneficial effect of using an idle radio frequency link required by the embodiments of this application cannot be achieved. If the terminal uses the reporting method of the prior art, When the antenna capability is dual-port, the network device cannot distinguish whether the terminal can always use dual-port to send signals or opportunistically can use dual-port to send. Therefore, by using the reporting method described in one of the above communication methods, the terminal can report the two types of antenna capabilities and the application scenarios of the two types of antenna capabilities to the first network device.
进一步的，如图6所示，若终端被配置了时分复用模式，那么终端在同一时间内只能向第一网络设备和第二网络设备中的其中一个发送上行信号，所以在允许向第一网络设备发送信号的时长内，天线能力的取值始终为第二取值，在不允许向第一网络设备发送信号的时长内，可以认为天线能力的取值为0。若终端未被配置时分复用模式，则终端始终使用第一取值的天线能力来向第一网络设备发送信号，即天线能力的取值为第一取值。一般来说第二取值大于第一取值。Further, as shown in FIG. 6, if the terminal is configured with a time division multiplexing mode, the terminal can only send an uplink signal to one of the first network device and the second network device at the same time. The value of the antenna capability is always the second value during the length of time that a network device sends a signal, and the value of the antenna capability may be considered to be 0 when the time is not allowed to send a signal to the first network device. If the terminal is not configured with a time-division multiplexing mode, the terminal always uses the antenna capability of the first value to send a signal to the first network device, that is, the antenna capability value is the first value. Generally the second value is greater than the first value.

为方便描述，本步骤的网络设备为第一网络设备。当第一网络设备为主基站时，终端向第一网络设备上报该终端的上行通信能力是指：终端直接向第一网络设备上报该终端的上行通信能力，第一网络设备直接接收该终端上报的上行通信能力。当第二网络设备为主基站时，终端向第一网络设备上报该终端的上行通信能力是指：终端通过第二网络设备向第一网络设备上报该终端的上行通信能力。第一网络设备接收终端上报的该终端的上行通信能力是指：第一网络设备通过第二网络设备接收终端上报的该终端的上行通信能力。具体的，终端先向第二网络设备上报该终端的上行通信能力，第二网络设备接收该终端的上行通信能力后，将该终端的上行通信能力通过X2接口传递给第一网络设备。For ease of description, the network device in this step is a first network device. When the first network device is the master base station, the terminal reporting the terminal's uplink communication capability to the first network device means that the terminal directly reports the terminal's uplink communication capability to the first network device, and the first network device directly receives the terminal's report Uplink communication capabilities. When the second network device is the master base station, the terminal reporting the uplink communication capability of the terminal to the first network device means that the terminal reports the uplink communication capability of the terminal to the first network device through the second network device. The uplink communication capability of the terminal received by the first network device from the terminal refers to: the first network device receives the uplink communication capability of the terminal from the terminal through the second network device. Specifically, the terminal first reports the uplink communication capability of the terminal to the second network device, and after receiving the uplink communication capability of the terminal, the second network device transmits the uplink communication capability of the terminal to the first network device through the X2 interface.
终端的上行通信能力包括：在时分复用模式指示的第一时间资源上，终端向第一网络设备发送信号时的天线能力为第一取值；在时分复用模式指示的第二时间资源上，终端向第一网络设备发送信号时的天线能力为第二取值。其中，第一取值和第二取值为数量值，该终端向第一网络设备发送信号时的天线能力包括第一取值，还包括该第一取值的含义，比如该第一取值用于天线端口数，或用于层数等；类 似的，该终端向第一网络设备发送信号时的天线能力包括第二取值，还包括第二取值的含义，比如该第二取值用于天线端口数，或用于层数等。举例来说，第一取值为1，终端上报的上行通信能力指示：该终端向第一网络设备发送信号时的天线能力为1端口(即one port)、或者为1层(即one layer)；第二取值为2，终端上报的上行通信能力指示：该终端向第一网络设备发送信号时的天线能力为2端口(即two ports)、或者为2层(即two layers)。The uplink communication capability of the terminal includes: on the first time resource indicated by the time division multiplexing mode, the antenna capability when the terminal sends a signal to the first network device is the first value; on the second time resource indicated by the time division multiplexing mode , The antenna capability when the terminal sends a signal to the first network device is a second value.

For example, the first value is 1, and the uplink communication capability reported by the terminal indicates that the antenna capability of the terminal when transmitting signals to the first network device is port 1 (ie, one port), or layer 1 (ie, one layer). ; The second value is 2, and the uplink communication capability reported by the terminal indicates that the antenna capability of the terminal when transmitting signals to the first network device is 2 ports (ie, two ports), or layer 2 (ie, two layers).
天线能力的表现形式可以包括但不限于：天线端口数量、层数、射频链路数量、天线数量、最大天线端口数量、最大层数、最大射频链路数量或最大天线数量，在一个可能的实现方式中，天线能力的第一取值可以是多种表现形式的取值的组合，类似的，天线能力的第二取值也可以是多种表现形式的取值的组合。其中，该第一取值包括：天线端口数量、层数、射频链路数量、天线数量、最大天线端口数量、最大层数、最大射频链路数量或最大天线数量的取值，该第二取值包括：天线端口数量、层数、射频链路数量、天线数量、最大天线端口数量、最大层数、最大射频链路数量或最大天线数量的取值。第一取值包括的多种表现形式可以与第二取值包括的多种表现形式的范围相同，也可以不同。第一取值和第二取值可以是相同表现形式的取值，例如都是最大天线端口数量的取值，或都是最大层数的取值；也可以是不同表现形式的取值，例如第一取值是最大天线端口数量的取值，第二取值是最大层数的取值。The manifestation of the antenna capability may include, but is not limited to: the number of antenna ports, the number of layers, the number of RF links, the number of antennas, the maximum number of antenna ports, the maximum number of layers, the maximum number of RF links, or the maximum number of antennas.

The first value and the second value can be values of the same expression, for example, both the value of the maximum antenna port number, or both of the maximum number of layers; they can also be the values of different expressions, such as The first value is the maximum number of antenna ports, and the second value is the maximum number of layers.
步骤702、终端使用该天线能力向该第一网络设备发送信号，第一网络设备接收该终端发送的信号。Step 702: The terminal uses the antenna capability to send a signal to the first network device, and the first network device receives a signal sent by the terminal.
具体的，在时分复用模式指示的第一时间资源上，终端使用第一取值的天线能力向第一网络设备发送信号。例如，第一取值为最大天线端口数量的取值，第一取值为1，那么终端最多使用一个天线端口向第一网络设备发送信号；又例如，第一取值为最大层数的取值，第一取值为1，那么终端使用进行上行传输时最多向第一网络设备发送一层数据。Specifically, on the first time resource indicated by the time division multiplexing mode, the terminal sends a signal to the first network device by using the antenna capability of the first value. For example, if the first value is the maximum number of antenna ports and the first value is 1, then the terminal uses a maximum of one antenna port to send signals to the first network device; for example, the first value is the maximum number of layers Value, the first value is 1, then the terminal sends up to one layer of data to the first network device during uplink transmission.
在时分复用模式指示的第二时间资源上，终端使用第二取值的天线能力向第一网络设备发送信号。例如，第二取值为最大天线端口数量的取值，第二取值为2，那么终端最多使用两个天线端口向第一网络设备发送信号；又例如，第二取值为最大层数的取值，第二取值为2，那么终端进行上行传输时最多向第一网络设备发送两层数据。On the second time resource indicated by the time division multiplexing mode, the terminal sends a signal to the first network device by using the antenna value of the second value. For example, if the second value is the maximum number of antenna ports, and the second value is 2, the terminal uses a maximum of two antenna ports to send signals to the first network device; for example, the second value is the maximum number of layers Value, the second value is 2, then the terminal sends up to two layers of data to the first network device during uplink transmission.
通信方法之二中所述的时分复用模式可以参照上述第5)点介绍。通信方法之二中所述的时分复用模式是主基站给终端配置的，具体的为第一网络设备或第二网络设备给终端配置的。The time division multiplexing mode described in the second communication method may be introduced with reference to point 5) above. The time division multiplexing mode described in the second communication method is configured by the master base station to the terminal, and is specifically configured by the first network device or the second network device to the terminal.
一种可能的实现方式中，通信方法之二中所述的时分复用模式用于向终端指示允许向第二网络设备发送信号的时间资源和不允许向第二网络设备发送信号的时间资源，为避免干扰，终端在允许向第二网络设备发送信号的时间资源上不会向第一网络设备发送信号，终端在不允许向第二网络设备发送信号的时间资源上可以向第一网络设备发送信号。这样，终端可以根据该时分复用模式在同一时间资源上只向第一网络设备和第二网络设备中的一个网络设备发送信号，从而避免交调干扰。举例来说，如上述第5)点中的例子，TDM pattern是通过参数subframeAssignment-r15来指示的，TDM pattern可以保证终端在同一时间只向LTE侧或者只向NR侧发送上行信号。在这种可能的实现方式中，时分复用模式的功能包括向终端指示是否允许向第二网络设备发送信号，本申请实施例的通信方法之二中对该时分复用模式的作用或功能进行了扩展，该时分复用模式的功能还包括天线能力取值的变换。具体的，第一网络设备或第二网络设备向终端发送配置信息，该配置信息用于指示该时分复用模式以及该时分复用模式的功能为天线能力取值的变换。所述的功能还可以称为用途或作用。例如，该配置信息指示时分复用模式的功能为用于层数的取值的变换，该配置信息可以为：BOOLEAN RRC参数，usedForLayerChange。或者，该配置信息还可以为：ENUMERATED RRC参数，useOfSubframeAssignment-r15，取值为{LayerChange，IMD}，当取值为LayerChange时，表示该配置信息的功能用于层数取值的变换，当取值为IMD时，表示该配置信息的功能用于避免互调干扰。该TDM pattern用于向终端指示允许向第二网络设备发送信号 的时间资源(记为第一时间资源)、以及不允许向第二网络设备发送信号的时间资源(记为第二时间资源)。例如，该TDM pattern指示为上行的子帧上，终端可以向第二网络设备发送信号，该TDM pattern指示为下行的子帧上，终端就不可以向第二网络设备发送信号。在终端允许向第二网络设备发送信号的第一时间资源上，终端与第二网络设备之间的射频链路并不是闲置的，这是终端使用第一取值的天线能力向第一网络设备发送信号。在终端不允许向第二网络设备发送信号的第二时间资源上，终端与第二网络设备之间的射频链路闲置，那么终端可以联合使用第二网络设备对应的射频链路联合第一网络设备对应的射频链路向第一网络设备发送信号，射频链路对应天线端口，则终端可以使用第二取值的天线能力向第一网络设备发送信号。第二取值包括第一取值与第二网络设备对应射频链路取值的和。例如，第一取值为1，第二取值为2，在第一时间资源上，终端使用单端口向第一网络设备发送信号，在第二时间资源上，终端使用双端口向第一网络设备发送信号。又例如，第一取值为2，第二取值为4，在第一时间资源上，终端使用两个天线端口向第一网络设备发送信号，在第二时间资源上，终端使用四个天线端口向第一网络设备发送信号。In a possible implementation manner, the time division multiplexing mode described in the second communication method is used to indicate to the terminal a time resource that is allowed to send signals to the second network device and a time resource that is not allowed to send signals to the second network device. To avoid interference, the terminal will not send a signal to the first network device on the time resources that are allowed to send signals to the second network device, and the terminal may send to the first network device on the time resources that are not allowed to send signals to the second network device signal. In this way, the terminal can send signals to only one of the first network device and the second network device on the same time resource according to the time division multiplexing mode, thereby avoiding intermodulation interference. For example, as in the example in point 5) above, the TDM pattern is indicated by the parameter subframeAssignment-r15. The TDM pattern can ensure that the terminal sends uplink signals only to the LTE side or only to the NR side at the same time. In this possible implementation manner, the function of the time division multiplexing mode includes indicating to the terminal whether to allow signals to be sent to the second network device. The function or function of the time division multiplexing mode is performed in the second communication method of the embodiment of the present application. The function of this time division multiplexing mode also includes the transformation of antenna capability value. Specifically, the first network device or the second network device sends configuration information to the terminal, where the configuration information is used to indicate that the time division multiplexing mode and a function of the time division multiplexing mode are transformations of antenna capability values. The described functions may also be referred to as uses or effects. For example, the configuration information indicates that the function of the time division multiplexing mode is a transformation for the value of the number of layers. The configuration information may be: BOOLEAN RRC parameters, usedForLayerChange. Alternatively, the configuration information may also be: ENUMERATEDRRC parameter, useOfSubframeAssignment-r15, with a value of {LayerChange, IMD}. When the value is LayerChange, it indicates that the function of the configuration information is used to change the value of the layer number. When the value is IMD, it means that the function of the configuration information is used to avoid intermodulation interference. The TDM pattern is used to indicate to the terminal a time resource (recorded as a first time resource) that is allowed to send a signal to the second network device, and a time resource (recorded as a second time resource) that is not allowed to send a signal to the second network device. For example, on the subframe where the TDM pattern is indicated as an uplink, the terminal may send a signal to the second network device, and on the subframe where the TDM pattern is indicated as a downlink, the terminal may not send a signal to the second network device. On the first time resource that the terminal is allowed to send a signal to the second network device, the radio frequency link between the terminal and the second network device is not idle. This is the terminal's ability to use the antenna with the first value to the first network device. Send a signal. On a second time resource where the terminal is not allowed to send a signal to the second network device, the radio frequency link between the terminal and the second network device is idle, then the terminal may jointly use the radio frequency link corresponding to the second network device to join the first network The radio frequency link corresponding to the device sends a signal to the first network device, and the radio frequency link corresponds to the antenna port, then the terminal can send a signal to the first network device using the antenna value of the second value. The second value includes the sum of the first value and the value of the corresponding radio frequency link of the second network device. For example, the first value is 1, and the second value is 2. On the first time resource, the terminal uses a single port to send a signal to the first network device. On the second time resource, the terminal uses a dual port to send to the first network. The device sends a signal. For another example, the first value is 2 and the second value is 4. On the first time resource, the terminal uses two antenna ports to send signals to the first network device. On the second time resource, the terminal uses four antennas. The port sends a signal to the first network device.
另一种可能的实现方式中，通信方法之二中所述的时分复用模式专门通过新的参数来指示，而非复用现有技术中的参数subframeAssignment-r15。在这种可能的实现方式中，该时分复用模式专门用于向终端指示天线能力取值的变换。例如，该配置信息指示时分复用模式的功能为用于层数的取值的变换，该配置信息可以为：BOOLEAN RRC参数，usedForLayerChange。In another possible implementation manner, the time division multiplexing mode described in the second communication method is specifically indicated by a new parameter instead of multiplexing the parameter subframeAssignment-r15 in the prior art. In this possible implementation manner, the time division multiplexing mode is specifically used to indicate to the terminal a change in antenna capability value. For example, the configuration information indicates that the function of the time division multiplexing mode is a transformation for the value of the number of layers. The configuration information may be: BOOLEAN RRC parameters, usedForLayerChange.
基于此，在时分复用模式指示的第一时间资源上，终端的天线能力的取值包括第一取值，即终端始终使用第一网络设备对应的射频链路向第一网络设备发送信号。例如，第一取值为1，终端使用与第一网络设备对应的一条射频链路向第一网络设备发送信号，也就是，终端使用第一网络设备对应的一个天线端口向第一网络设备发送信号。可选的，若时分复用模式的功能不包括避免交调干扰，那么在该第一时间资源上，终端还可以使用第二网络设备对应的射频链路向第二网络设备发送信号。Based on this, on the first time resource indicated by the time division multiplexing mode, the value of the antenna capability of the terminal includes the first value, that is, the terminal always uses a radio frequency link corresponding to the first network device to send a signal to the first network device. For example, if the first value is 1, the terminal sends a signal to the first network device using a radio frequency link corresponding to the first network device, that is, the terminal sends to the first network device using an antenna port corresponding to the first network device. signal. Optionally, if the function of the time division multiplexing mode does not include avoiding intermodulation interference, then on the first time resource, the terminal may also use a radio frequency link corresponding to the second network device to send a signal to the second network device.
在时分复用模式指示的第二时间资源上，终端的天线能力的取值包括第二取值，第二取值大于第一取值，即终端联合使用第一网络设备对应的射频链路和第二网络设备闲置的射频链路向第一网络设备发送信号。射频链路与天线端口对应，例如，第二取值为2，在时分复用模式指示的第一时间资源上，终端使用一个天线端口(假设为天线端口1)向第一网络设备发送信号，使用一个天线端口(假设为天线端口2)向第二网络设备发送信号；在时分复用模式指示的第二时间资源上，终端使用两个天线端口(包括天线端口1和天线端口2)向第一网络设备发送信号。也就是说，在时分复用模式指示的第二时间资源上，终端向第一网络设备发送信号时的天线能力的取值为2。该取值可以意味着，终端始终使用两个天线端口(包括天线端口1和天线端口2)向第一网络设备发送信号，也可以意味着，终端最多使用两个天线端口向第一网络设备发送信号。最多使用两个天线端口时，终端可以只使用天线端口1来向第一网络设备发送信号。On the second time resource indicated by the time division multiplexing mode, the value of the antenna capability of the terminal includes a second value, and the second value is greater than the first value, that is, the terminal jointly uses the radio frequency link corresponding to the first network device and The idle radio frequency link of the second network device sends a signal to the first network device. The radio frequency link corresponds to an antenna port. For example, the second value is 2. On the first time resource indicated by the time division multiplexing mode, the terminal uses one antenna port (assuming antenna port 1) to send a signal to the first network device. Use one antenna port (assume antenna port 2) to send signals to the second network device; on the second time resource indicated by the time division multiplexing mode, the terminal uses two antenna ports (including antenna port 1 and antenna port 2) to send signals to the second network device. A network device sends a signal. That is, on the second time resource indicated by the time division multiplexing mode, the value of the antenna capability when the terminal sends a signal to the first network device is 2. This value can mean that the terminal always uses two antenna ports (including antenna port 1 and antenna port 2) to send signals to the first network device, or it can mean that the terminal uses up to two antenna ports to send signals to the first network device. signal. When a maximum of two antenna ports are used, the terminal may use only antenna port 1 to send signals to the first network device.
上述第一取值和第二取值仅仅是举例，当然第一取值还可以为其它值，例如第一取值为2，4、8……；同样，第二取值也可以为其它值，例如第二取值为4、8、16、……。The above first and second values are just examples, of course, the first value can also be other values, for example, the first value can be 2, 4, 8 ...; Similarly, the second value can also be other values. For example, the second value is 4, 8, 16, ...
上述时间资源可以是指子帧、或时隙、或符号。The foregoing time resource may refer to a subframe, a time slot, or a symbol.
通信方法之二的步骤701中终端上报该终端的上行通信能力的具体方法可以采用上述方法一和方法二，具体细节参考上述通信方法之一中的描述，不再赘述。The specific method for the terminal to report the uplink communication capability of the terminal in step 701 of the second communication method may be the first method and the second method. For details, refer to the description in one of the above communication methods, and details are not described again.
在上述通信方法之二中，终端向第一网络设备上报的上行通信能力包括天线能力的两种取值。以终端向第一网络设备发送信号时的天线能力为最大天线端口数量为例，两种取值为1和2，即单端口和双端口。若采用现有技术的手段，终端向网络设备上报的天线能力为单端口，则终端始终最多支持单端口发送上行信号，终端向网络设备上报的天线能力为双端口，则终端始终最多支持双端口发送上行信号。 本申请实施例提供的通信方法之二中，终端向第一网络设备发送信号时天线能力的取值是在单端口和双端口之间变化的，若终端采用现有技术的上报方式，在上报天线能力为单端口时，网络设备不会调度终端进行双端口的发送，即不能实现本申请实施例要求达到的使用闲置射频链路的有益效果，若终端采用现有技术的上报方式，在上报天线能力为双端口时，网络设备不能区分终端始终使用双端口发送信号还是机会性的使用双端口发送。因此，采用上述通信方法之二所描述的上报方法，终端能够向第一网络设备上报两种取值的天线能力，以及两种取值的天线能力的应用场景。In the second communication method, the uplink communication capability reported by the terminal to the first network device includes two values of the antenna capability. Taking the antenna capability when the terminal sends a signal to the first network device as an example, the maximum number of antenna ports is used. The two values are 1 and 2, that is, a single port and a dual port. If the antenna technology reported by the terminal to the network device is a single port, the terminal always supports a single port to send uplink signals at most, and the antenna capability reported by the terminal to the network device is a dual port, and the terminal always supports a maximum of two ports. Send an upstream signal. In the second communication method provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal sends a signal to the first network device, the value of the antenna capability is changed between a single port and a dual port. If the terminal uses a reporting method in the prior art, When the antenna capability is a single port, the network device does not schedule the terminal to perform dual-port transmission, that is, the beneficial effect of using an idle radio frequency link required by the embodiments of this application cannot be achieved. If the terminal uses the reporting method of the prior art, When the antenna capability is dual-port, the network device cannot distinguish whether the terminal always uses dual-port transmission signals or opportunistically uses dual-port transmission. Therefore, by using the reporting method described in the second communication method, the terminal can report the two types of antenna capabilities and the application scenarios of the two types of antenna capabilities to the first network device.
进一步的，如图8所示，终端被配置了时分复用模式，在时分复用模式指示的第一时间资源上，天线能力的取值始终为第一取值，在时分复用模式指示的第二时间资源上，天线能力的取值为第二取值。若终端未被配置时分复用模式，则终端始终使用第一取值的天线能力来向第一网络设备发送信号，即天线能力的取值为第一取值。一般来说第二取值大于第一取值。Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the terminal is configured with a time division multiplexing mode. On the first time resource indicated by the time division multiplexing mode, the value of the antenna capability is always the first value. On the second time resource, the value of the antenna capability is the second value. If the terminal is not configured with a time-division multiplexing mode, the terminal always uses the antenna capability of the first value to send a signal to the first network device, that is, the antenna capability value is the first value. Generally the second value is greater than the first value.
通过上述通信方法之一和通信方法之二，终端向网络设备上报自身的上行通信能力，网络设备通过终端上报的上行通信能力，确定终端支持由一种天线能力的取值转换为另一种天线能力的取值。例如，终端使用第一天线端口向第一网络设备发送信号，使用第二天线端口向第二网络设备发送信号，若终端支持天线能力由单端口转换为双端口，当第二天线端口闲置时，终端可以机会性的使用第二天线端口联合第一天线端口共同向第一网络设备发送信号。这样，能够达到射频链路或天线端口的共享，提高射频链路或天线端口的使用率，提升上行传输速率，从而提升通信能力。Through one of the above communication methods and the second communication method, the terminal reports its uplink communication capability to the network device. The network device determines, through the uplink communication capability reported by the terminal, that the terminal supports conversion from one antenna capability value to another antenna. The value of the capability. For example, the terminal uses a first antenna port to send signals to a first network device, and uses a second antenna port to send signals to a second network device. If the terminal supports antenna capability conversion from a single port to a dual port, when the second antenna port is idle, The terminal may use the second antenna port in conjunction with the first antenna port to send a signal to the first network device. In this way, sharing of the radio frequency link or antenna port can be achieved, the utilization rate of the radio frequency link or antenna port can be improved, the uplink transmission rate can be improved, and thus the communication capability can be improved.
