Description

链路失败恢复方法及相关设备 技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种链路失败恢复方法及相关设备。
背景技术
随着智能终端设备的发展,特别是视频业务的出现,当前的频谱资源已经难以满足用户对容量需求的爆炸式增长。具有更大的可用带宽的高频频段,成为下一代通信系统的候选频段。另外,现代通信系统通常使用多天线技术来提高系统的容量、覆盖,因此,采用高频频段还可以大大减小多天线配置的尺寸,从而便于站址获得更多天线的步骤。
然而,高频频段会因为大气、植被等因素的影响,会进一步加剧无线传播的损耗。为了克服无线传播的损耗,一种基于波束赋形技术的信号传输机制被采用,以通过较大的天线增益来补偿信号传播过程中的上述损耗。其中,基于波束赋形技术的信号可包括广播信号、同步信号以及小区特定的参考信号等。
然而,信号基于波束赋形技术进行传输时,一旦用户发生移动,可能出现传输信号对应的赋形波束的方向不再匹配移动后的用户位置,从而出现接收的信号频繁中断的问题。为了解决该问题,涉及相应的链路失败恢复方法,基站会为每个载波配置上行资源集合,该上行资源集合中每个上行资源关联一个参考信号,当终端设备发现链路失败后,可以利用该上行资源集合中新识别的参考信号对应的上行资源来发送链路失败恢复请求信息,从而使得基站重建新的链路。
然而,该链路失败恢复方法需要基站为每个载波配置用于发送链路失败请求信息的上行资源集合,资源开销较大。
发明内容
本申请提供一种链路失败恢复方法及相关设备,能够降低链路失败恢复所需的资源开销。
一方面,本申请实施例提供一种链路失败恢复方法,该方法中,终端设备根据空间相关参数的信息,在第一上行资源上发送第一指示信息;其中,所述空间相关参数的信息为用于发送或接收第一小区的信道和/或信号的空间相关参数的信息;所述第一指示信息用于指示N个第二小区中的第i个小区的链路失败,所述第一上行资源为所述第一小区的上行资源。
其中,所述N为大于或等于1的整数,所述i为大于或等于1且小于或等于所述N的整数。
可见,该实施方式中,终端设备在第一小区的上行资源上,利用第一小区发送或接收信道的空间相关参数的信息来发送N个第二小区中第i个小区的链路失败,避免了网络设备需要配置第二小区的多个参考信号资源关联的用于指示第二小区的链路失败的多个上行资源,因此,本申请实施例降低了链路失败恢复所需的资源开销。
该实施方式,在上下行有互易性时,避免了网络设备配置第二小区的多个候选的下行参考信号关联的用于发送第二小区的链路失败请求信息的多个上行资源,从而节省了资源开销。在上下行没有互易性时,该实施方式避免了网络设备配置第二小区的多个上行参考信号关联的用于发送第二小区的链路失败请求信息的多个上行资源,从而节省了资源开销。
也就是说,链路失败是一个突发事件,避免网络设备周期性分配每个第二小区的多个参考信号资源关联的上行资源,而是采用用于发送或接收第一小区的信道和/或信号的空间相关参数的信息和上行资源来发送第二小区的链路失败的相关信息,从而节省了资源开销。本申请实施例中,空间相关参数的信息包括准共址(Quasi-collocation,QCL)假设信息、空间相关信息(Spatial Relation)等。以下对该空间相关参数的信息的可选的实施方式进行阐述。
在一种可选的实施方式中,空间相关参数的信息可以为一个泛指的概念,即并不配置空间相关参数的信息具体为什么,而是终端设备可以轮询多个发送波束,或者多个接收波束对应的发送波束,来发送第一指示信息;或者,终端设备可以采用波束赋形方法来发送第一指示信息,即终端设备在第一上行资源上发送第一指示信息。再或者,该空间相关参数的信息可以为网络设备指定的一个参考信号关联的QCL信息或空间相关信息,本申请实施例不做限定。
在一种可选的实施方式中,空间相关参数的信息为用于接收所述第一小区的物理下行控制信道PDCCH的准共址QCL假设信息。也就是说,该空间相关参数的信息为终端设备接收第一小区的PDCCH所采用的接收波束对应的发送波束。
在一种示例中,该QCL假设信息为所述第一小区的控制资源集合中索引值或标识最小的控制资源集合的QCL假设信息。第一小区的PDCCH有一个或多个,该一个或多个PDCCH可以承载在一个或多个CORESET上,该示例中,将用于PDCCH检测的多个CORESET资源中的索引值或标识最小的控制资源集合的QCL假设信息作为用于发送第一指示信息的空间相关参数的信息。
在另一种示例中,该QCL假设信息为所述第一小区的公共搜索空间集合CSS的QCL假设信息,或者为所述第一小区的公共搜索空间集合CSS所在的控制资源集合的QCL假设信息。
在另一种可选的实施方式中,所述空间相关参数的信息为用于发送所述第一小区的物理上行控制信道PUCCH的空间相关信息。也就是说,该空间相关参数的信息为终端设备发送第一小区的PUCCH所采用的发送波束。可选的,该PUCCH的空间相关信息为所述第一小区的PUCCH中索引值或标识最小的PUCCH的空间相关信息,或者为用于发送对所述第i个小区的调度请求信息的PUCCH的空间相关信息。
在又一种可选的实施方式中,所述空间相关参数的信息为所述第一小区的同步信号广播信道块SSB资源的空间相关参数的信息,也就是说,该空间相关参数的信息为终端设备接收给SSB所采用的接收波束对应的发送波束。可选的,该SSB为终端设备初始接入第一小区时所接收的SSB。
在又一种可选的实施方式中,所述空间相关参数的信息为用于承载所述第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的信道的空间相关信息。
可见,上述各种实施方式所述的空间相关参数的信息,能够增加网络设备接收到该第 一指示信息的概率。
其中,除上述可选的实施方式外,空间相关参数的信息在第一小区也发生了链路失败时,在具体不同的情况下可以有不同的实施方式。比如,可包括的情况:情况一,第一小区和第i个小区可能同时发生了链路失败;情况二,第一小区先发生了链路失败,第i个小区后发生了链路失败;情况三,第i个小区先发生了链路失败,但还未接收到网络设备返回的响应信息,第一小区也发生了链路失败,涉及的可选的实施方式包括:
在一种示例中,终端设备可以在发送了第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息后,再发送第一指示信息。该情况下,终端设备可以利用终端设备承载第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的信道的空间相关信息来发送第一指示信息。即空间相关参数的信息为用于发送第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的信道的空间相关信息。该示例可适应于上述三种情况中的情况一和情况二。
在另一种示例中,终端设备可以在接收到第一小区的链路失败恢复响应信息之后,再发送第一指示信息。该情况下,终端设备利用终端设备能够接收到第一小区的链路失败恢复响应信息的信道的空间相关信息来发送第一指示信息。即空间相关参数的信息为用于承载第一小区的链路失败响应信息的信道的空间相关信息。也可以说,该空间相关参数的信息为用于承载第一小区链路失败恢复请求信息的信道的空间相关信息且网络设备能够接收到该链路失败恢复请求信息并返回第一小区的链路失败响应信息。该示例可适应于上述三种情况中的情况一和情况二。该示例中,终端设备可能多次发送了第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息,但能够收到网络设备返回的链路失败恢复响应信息的信道的空间相关信息可靠性可能更好,因此,该示例相比于上述示例,能够进一步的增加网络设备接收到第一指示信息的概率。
在又一种示例中,终端设备可以在接收到第一小区的重配信息之后,再发送第一指示信息。其中,终端设备利用网络设备发送的重配信息,可以成功恢复第一小区的链路。该情况下,终端设备可以利用该重配信息来发送第一指示信息;或者,第一小区已重建链路,终端设备可利用上述各种实施方式所述的空间相关参数的信息,比如,空间相关参数的信息为第一小区激活的QCL假设信息或空间相关信息,如为用于接收所述第一小区的PDCCH的QCL假设信息,或者为用于发送所述第一小区的PUCCH的空间相关信息,或者为第一小区的SSB资源的空间相关参数的信息等等。该示例可适应于上述三种情况中情况一和情况二。
在又一种示例中,终端设备可以在确定了第i个小区发生了链路失败,就采用之前所述的空间相关参数的信息的实施方式来发送第一指示信息,不必考虑第一小区是否发生了链路失败,或者第一小区的链路失败恢复过程,该示例可以适应于上述三种情况中的任一种。该示例能够更加及时的上报第一指示信息。
其中,针对情况三,终端设备确定了第i个小区发生了链路失败后,采用之前所述的空间相关参数的信息的实施方式发送第一指示信息,但还没收到网络设备针对该第i个小区返回的响应信息,就发现第一小区也发生了链路失败,此时,空间相关参数的信息可以采用上述各种示例所述的方式。
本申请实施例中,第一上行资源为用于发送第一指示信息的上行资源,而不是限定第 一上行资源为第一上行资源集合中的上行资源。
其中,第一上行资源也可以包括多种实施方式,以下进行详细阐述。
在一种可选的实施方式中,所述第一上行资源为第一上行资源集合中的物理随机接入信道PRACH资源,所述第一上行资源集合为配置的用于发送所述第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的资源的集合。
在另一种可选的实施方式中,所述第一上行资源为第一上行资源集合中第一参考信号关联的PRACH资源,所述第一参考信号为与所述第一小区激活的QCL假设信息或空间相关信息相关联的参考信号,所述第一上行资源集合为配置的用于发送所述第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的资源的集合。由于激活的QCL信息或空间相关信息相关联的参考信号的信道质量相对较好,从而,可以增加第一指示信息发送成功的概率。
进一步的,所述第一上行资源集合中第二参考信号关联的PRACH资源用于发送所述第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息,所述第二参考信号为与所述第一小区非激活的QCL假设信息或空间相关信息相关联的参考信号。
也就是说,可以预先协议约定或信令配置,用于发送N个第二小区的链路失败所采用的第一上行资源为第一上行资源集合中激活的QCL信息或空间相关信息相关联的参考信号所关联的PRACH资源;并且,预先协议约定或信令配置,用于发送第一小区的链路失败所采用的上行资源为第一上行资源集合中非激活的QCL信息或空间相关信息相关联的参考信号所关联的PRACH资源。这样,网络设备在接收到激活的QCL信息或空间相关信息相关联的参考信号所关联的PRACH资源发送的链路失败时,可以确定是第二小区中的小区发生了链路失败;网络设备在接收到非激活的QCL信息或空间相关信息相关联的参考信号所关联的PRACH资源发送的链路失败时,可以确定是第一小区发生了链路失败。
在又一种可选的实施方式中,第一小区也发生链路失败的情况,比如上文所述的情况一至三,该第一上行资源可以为第一上行资源集合中用于发送第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的PRACH资源。
在又一种可选的实施方式中,所述第二上行资源集合为在所述第一小区的上行资源中为所述N个第二小区配置的M个用于发送链路失败恢复请求信息的PRACH资源的集合。即网络设备可以在第一小区的上行资源上配置M个用于发送该N个第二小区的链路失败恢复的PRACH资源,该M个PRACH资源称为第二上行资源集合。故第一上行资源为第二上行资源集合中的物理随机接入信道PRACH资源。其中,所述M为大于或等于1,且小于或等于所述N的整数。
在一种示例中,当M=1,即网络设备可以在第一小区的上行资源上配置一个用于发送该N个第二小区的链路失败恢复的PRACH资源,则该N个第二小区中的小区发生链路失败时,都可以利用该PRACH资源来发送链路失败恢复请求的信息,比如第一指示信息。
在另一种示例中,当所述N等于所述M时,所述第二上行资源集合的一个PRACH资源与所述N个第二小区中的一个第二小区一一对应;所述第一上行资源为所述第二上行资源集合中所述第i个小区对应的PRACH资源。
该示例中,由于网络设备接收到该第一指示信息,就能够基于该第一上行资源获知发生了链路失败的为具体哪个小区,因此,所述第一指示信息还用于指示所述第i个小区的 标识信息。
在又一种示例中,当所述N大于所述M时,所述第二上行资源集合中的一个PRACH资源与P个第二小区组中的一个第二小区组相对应,所述N个第二小区包括所述P个第二小区组,一个第二小区组包含一个或多个第二小区,所述P为大于等于1且小于所述N的整数;所述第一上行资源为所述第二上行资源集合中所述第i个小区所属的第二小区组对应的PRACH资源。
其中,P个第二小区组中一个第二小区组与第二上行资源集合中一个PRACH资源一一对应,所述第一指示信息还用于指示所述第i个小区所属的第二小区组的标识信息。即网络设备接收第一指示信息,就能够基于该第一上行资源获知发生链路失败的小区为N个第二小区中的哪个第二小区组。
在又一种可选的实施方式中,所述第一上行资源为在所述第一小区的上行资源上配置的专用于发送所述N个第二小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的物理上行控制信道PUCCH资源。
在一种示例中,该第一指示信息包含所述第i个小区的标识信息、第三参考信号信息和第四参考信号信息中的至少一个;其中,所述第三参考信号信息为信道质量大于或等于第一门限的参考信号的信息,所述第四参考信号信息为信道质量小于或等于第二门限的参考信号的信息。这样,终端设备利用该专用的PUCCH资源来发送第一指示信息,能够更加及时的告知网络设备发生了链路失败的小区的上述相关信息。
本申请实施例中,第一上行资源为第一上行资源集合中的PRACH资源,或者第二上行资源集合中的PRACH资源时,若网络设备接收到第一指示信息后,还需要终端设备上报链路失败的第i个小区的候选参考信号,故该链路失败恢复方法还可以包括以下步骤:终端设备接收第一信令,所述第一信令用于指示第三上行资源;所述终端设备在所述第三上行资源上发送第二指示信息,所述第二指示信息用于指示所述第i个小区的标识信息、第三参考信号信息和第四参考信号信息中的至少一个;其中,所述第三参考信号信息为信道质量大于或等于第一门限的参考信号的信息,所述第四参考信号信息为信道质量小于或等于第二门限的参考信号的信息。
本申请实施例中,网络设备接收到第一指示信息后,根据第一指示信息所采用的第一上行资源,能够识别出发生链路失败的小区为N个第二小区中的小区、发生链路失败的小区所在的第二小区组或者发生链路失败的小区,因此,网络设备还可以通过第一信令触发所述N个第二小区、所述第i个小区所在的第二小区组或者所述第i个小区的候选参考信号资源集合。从而避免现有技术中,网络设备周期性触发每个小区的候选参考信号资源集合,发送各参考信号所导致的资源开销。其中,第一信令触发候选参考信号资源集合,可以理解为第一信令指示候选参考信号资源集合的发送。
本申请实施例中,所述第三上行资源为物理上行共享信道PUSCH资源或PRACH资源。
其中,该PUSCH资源是专用于发送N个第二小区的链路失败的资源,比如,专用于发送第二指示信息的。
其中,第三上行资源为PRACH资源时,该PRACH资源为第一小区的第一上行资源集合中的PRACH资源。此时,第一上行资源集合中每个PRACH资源不仅要与第一小区的候 选参考信号资源集合中的下行参考信号关联,还会与N个第二小区中每个小区的候选参考信号资源集合中的下行参考信号关联,从而使得终端设备利用第三上行资源上报第二指示信息时,网络设备能够基于第一指示信息和该第三上行资源关联的下行参考信号,获知终端设备针对发生链路失败的小区确定的候选的下行参考信号。其中,第一指示信息就需要采用上述实施方式中能够告知网络设备发生链路失败的小区的标识信息的实施方式。可见,该实施方式与现有技术中配置第二小区的多个参考信号资源关联的用于指示该第二小区链路失败的多个上行资源相比,依旧能够节省资源开销。
比如,上述实施方式中N=M时,一个PRACH资源对应一个第二小区,网络设备能够基于第一指示信息采用的第二上行资源集合中的PRACH资源获知第二小区的标识信息,进一步通过上述第三上行资源为第一上行资源集合中的一个PRACH资源,获知终端设备针对该第二小区确定的候选的下行参考信号。假设该第二小区的候选参考信号资源集合中包括X个下行参考信号,则现有技术中,网络设备需要为该第二小区配置X个PRACH资源,而该实施方式如上所述为该一个第二小区配置一个PRACH资源即可上报上述信息,因此,该实施方式依旧能够节省资源开销。
本申请实施例中,所述第一信令为MAC-CE信令或DCI信令。
在一种示例中,该MAC-CE信令或该DCI信令为专用于指示该第三上行资源的信令。
其中,该DCI信令可由专用的无线网络临时标识加扰,或者,该DCI信令中携带专用指示,以通知终端设备该DCI调度的PUSCH资源为用于发送链路失败恢复请求信息的资源。
可选的,网络设备为终端设备配置的第一上行资源集合和第二上行资源集合中的PRACH资源也可以替换为PUCCH资源,即第一上行资源集合为用于发送第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的PUCCH资源的集合,第二上行资源集合为用于发送N个第二小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的PUCCH资源的集合。该实施方式可以结合上述第一上行资源对应的各种实施方式中的任一种,比如,上述第一上行资源为第一上行资源集合中的PRACH资源就可以相应的替换为:第一上行资源为第一上行资源集合中的PUCCH资源。另外,该实施方式与专用于发送N个第二小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的PUCCH资源的不同之处在于,该实施方式的PUCCH资源可以不携带候选的参考信号信息,如第三参考信号信息和/或第四参考信号信息,故该实施方式还需结合上述所述的第一信令的相关内容,即利用第一信令指示的第三上行资源来上报的参考信号信息,如第三参考信号信息和/或第四参考信号信息。
在上述一些实施方式中,所述第一指示信息或所述第二指示信息用于指示所述第i个小区的标识信息,还用于指示所述第三参考信号信息和/或所述第四参考信号信息时,所述第i个小区的标识信息与所述第三参考信号信息和/或所述第四参考信号信息独立编码。
其中,独立编码是指标识信息与所述第三参考信号信息和/或所述第四参考信号信息是分别进行编码获得的第一指示信息或第二指示信息,网络设备需要识别出标识信息,才能获知第三参考信号信息和/或所述第四参考信号信息的比特数,即才能识别出第三参考信号信息和/或所述第四参考信号信息。比如,标识信息由Q1个比特表示,第三参考信号信息和/或第四参考信息由Q2个比特表示,所述终端设备对该Q1个比特进行编码获得第一信 息,对该Q2个比特进行编码获得第二信息,所述第一指示信息或所述第二指示信息包括所述第一信息与第二信息。网络设备根据所述第一指示信息或第二指示信息中承载标识信息的Q1比特进行解码获得标识信息;网络设备根据标识信息,对所述第一指示信息或第二指示信息中的用于承载第三参考信息和或第四参考信息的Q2比特进行解码获得所述第三参考信息和/或第四参考信息。
本申请实施例中,所述第一指示信息的负载的大小和/或所述第二指示信息的负载的大小与所述第一上行资源相关,以下从不同的实施方式进行阐述。
在一种实施方式中,发送第一指示信息的第一上行资源为网络设备为N个第二小区配置的专用于发送链路失败恢复请求信息的PUCCH资源,则:
该第一指示信息需要指示第i个小区的标识信息,以及第三参考信号信息和/或第四参考信号信息。由于终端设备和网络设备均知道第二小区的数量,故该第i个小区的标识信息的比特数为固定值,比如
Figure PCTCN2019099468-appb-000001
而第三参考信号信息和/或第四参考信号信息的比特数与该标识信息标识的各小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号的个数有关。
因此,第一指示信息的负载大小为固定值时,第三参考信号信息的比特数基于N个第二小区对应的多个候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数最多的候选参考信号资源集合来确定,第四参考信号信息的比特数基于N个第二小区对应的多个波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中的下行参考信号个数最多的失败检测参考信号资源集合来确定。假设下行参考信号个数最多的候选参考信号资源集合包含Y个,可选地,第一指示信息的负载可根据
Figure PCTCN2019099468-appb-000002
来确定。
第一指示信息的负载大小为非固定值时,第三参考信号信息的比特数随着标识信息所指示的小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数的变化而变化。第四参考信号信息的比特数基于标识信息所指示的小区的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数的变化而变化。
在另一种可选的实施方式中,第一上行资源为第一上行资源集合中的PRACH资源的情况,或者当第一上行资源为第一上行资源集合中的激活的QCL假设信息或空间相关信息关联的下行参考信号关联的PRACH资源的情况,第一指示信息无法告知网络设备发生链路失败的小区的标识信息。
因此,第二指示信息中标识信息的比特数与终端设备连接的小区的总数有关;若第二指示信息的负载的大小为固定值,则第二指示信息中第三参考信号信息的比特数是根据终端设备所有小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数最多的候选参考信号资源集合相关,第四参考信号信息的比特数是根据终端设备所有小区的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数最多的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合相关;若第二指示信息的负载的大小为非固定值,则第二指示信息中第三参考信号信息的比特数是根据标识信息所指示的小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数的变化而变化,第四参考信号信息的比特数是根据标识信息所指示的小区的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数的变化而变化。
其中,该实施方式中,该小区的总数可以为终端设备中需要进行链路失败恢复的小区的个数。或者,针对共享相同的空间相关参数的信息的多个小区称为小区组,该小区的总 数可以为不同的空间相关参数的信息对应的多个小区组的个数。或者,该小区的总数可以为没有上行资源的小区的个数,或者可以为高频的小区的个数。
在又一种可选的实施方式中,当第一上行资源为第一上行资源集合中的激活的QCL或空间相关信息关联的下行参考信号关联的PRACH资源,且用于发送所述第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的上行资源为第一上行资源集合中非激活的QCL信息或空间相关信息关联的参考信号所关联的PRACH资源的情况;或者第一上行资源为第二上行资源集合中的PRACH资源的情况,由于第一指示信息能够指示是N个第二小区中的小区发生了链路失败,此时,第二指示信息中标识信息的比特数与N相关,比如为
Figure PCTCN2019099468-appb-000003
相应的,若第二指示信息的负载的大小为固定值,则第二指示信息中第三参考信号信息的比特数是根据N个第二小区中每个小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数最多的候选参考信号资源集合相关,第四参考信号信息的比特数是根据N个第二小区中每个小区的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数最多的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合相关;若第二指示信息的负载的大小为非固定值,则第二指示信息中第三参考信号信息的比特数是根据标识信息所指示的第二小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数的变化而变化,第四参考信号信息的比特数是根据标识信息所指示的第二小区的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数的变化而变化。
在又一种可选的实施方式中,当N等于所述M时,第一上行资源为所述第二上行资源集合中所述第i个小区对应的PRACH资源,即第一指示信息还用于指示所述第i个小区的标识信息,第二指示信息就不必包含第i个小区的标识信息,只需包含第三参考信号信息和/或第四参考信号信息。其中,第一指示信息还用于指示所述第i个小区的标识信息,也就是说,该实施方式中,由于第二上行资源集合中PRACH资源与每个第二小区之间的关联关系,使得网络设备可以根据接收该第一指示信息的PRACH资源来确定小区的标识信息,而不是第一指示信息包含小区的标识信息。
因此,若第二指示信息的负载大小为固定值,则第三参考信号信息的比特数与N个第二小区中每个小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数最多的候选参考信号资源集合相关,第四参考信号信息的比特数与N个第二小区中每个小区的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数最多的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合相关;若该第二指示信息的负载大小为非固定值,则第三参考信号信息的比特数与第i个小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号的个数相关,第四参考信号信息的比特数与第i个小区的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号的个数相关。
在又一种可选的实施方式中,当第一上行资源为第二上行资源集合中所述第i个小区所属第二小区组对应的PRACH资源的情况,即第一指示信息还用于指示所述第i个小区所属第二小区组的标识信息,第二指示信息中标识信息可以为第i个小区在该第二小区组的组内标识信息。当第二指示信息的负载的大小为固定值时,该标识信息的比特数根据P个第二小区组中包含第二小区的个数最多的第二小区组来确定,第三参考信号信息的比特数与该第i个小区所属第二小区组对应的多个候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数最多的候选参考信号资源集合相关,第四参考信号信息的比特数与该第i个小区所属第二小区组对应的多个波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数最多的波束失败检测 参考信号资源集合相关。当第二指示信息的负载的大小为非固定值时,该标识信息的比特数根据所述第i个小区所属第二小区组包含的第二小区的个数来确定,第三参考信号信息的比特数与该第i个小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数相关,即与标识信息指示的小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数相关;第四参考信号信息的比特数与该第i个小区的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数相关,即与标识信息指示的小区的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数相关。

本申请涉及的网络设备可以是指网络侧的一种用来发送或接收信息的实体,比如可以是基站,或者可以是传输点(transmission point,缩写:TP)、传输接收点(transmission and receptionpoint,缩写:TRP)、中继设备,或者具备基站功能的其他网络设备等等,本申请不做限定。而本申请涉及的通信设备可以是集中控制模块,或者是其他的网络设备。该通信设备能够为终端设备配置与下行控制信息配置信息或下行控制参数相关联的一个加扰标识;或配置与不同的下行控制信息配置信息或下行控制参数相关联的多个加扰标识。其中,本申请中,通信设备与网络设备可以为同一个设备,也可以为不同的设备。
在本申请中,终端设备是一种具有通信功能的设备,其可以包括具有无线通信功能的手持设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备等。在不同的网络中终端设备可以叫做不同的名称,例如:终端设备(terminal),用户设备(user equipment,缩写:UE),移动台,用户单元,中继(Relay),站台,蜂窝电话,个人数字助理,无线调制解调器,无线通信设备,手持设备,膝上型电脑,无绳电话,无线本地环路台等。该终端设备可以是指无线终端设备、有线终端设备。该无线终端设备可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备,具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备,其可以经无线接入网(如RAN,radio access network)与一个或多个核心网进行通信。
首先,对提出本申请所要解决的技术问题和应用场景进行介绍。
目前,为了实现链路失败恢复,网络设备需要给每个小区配置一个上行资源集合,该上行资源集合包括多个物理随机接入信道(Physical Random Access Channel,PRACH)资源,该小区的候选参考信号资源集合中的参考信号与该上行资源集合中的PRACH资源一一对应,用于发送该小区的链路失败恢复请求信息。
例如,利用一个小区的上行资源集合,终端设备针对该小区进行链路失败恢复的过程,可以包括以下步骤:终端设备确定链路失败;终端设备检测候选参考信号资源集合中参考信号的信道质量,确定信道质量大于预设门限的下行参考信号;终端设备利用上行资源集合中该下行参考信号关联的PRACH资源发送链路失败恢复请求信息;网络设备根据该链路失败恢复请求信息发送链路失败响应信息;终端设备检测控制资源集合,获得链路失败响应信息。
其中,终端设备是利用上行资源集合中确定的下行参考信号关联的PRACH资源来发送链路失败恢复请求信息的,可见,目前的链路失败恢复方法中,针对每个小区,网络设备需要为该小区的候选参考信号资源集合中每个下行参考信号配置一个上行资源,假设该小区的候选参考信号资源集合中包括16个下行参考信号,则需要为该小区配置16个上行资源,而该16个上行资源只能用于链路失败恢复请求信息的发送。每个载波对应一个小区,每个小区对应一个候选参考信号资源集合,需要配置每个小区的多个参考信号资源关联的 用于指示该第二小区链路失败的多个上行资源将更多,导致资源开销巨大。
为了解决上述问题,本申请实施例提供了一种链路失败恢复方法及相关设备,该链路失败恢复方法中,终端设备可以根据空间相关参数的信息,在第一上行资源上发送第一指示信息以指示N个第二小区中的第i个小区的链路失败;相应的,网络设备可以根据该空间相关参数的信息,在第一上行资源上接收第一指示信息,并根据该第一指示信息发送链路失败恢复响应信息,来实现链路失败的恢复。由于空间相关参数的信息为用于发送第一小区的信道和/或信号的空间相关参数的信息,第一上行资源为第一小区的上行资源。这样,网络设备不需要配置第二小区的多个参考信号资源关联的用于指示该第二小区链路失败的多个上行资源,从而降低了资源开销。
图1是本申请实施例提供的一种通信系统100的结构示意图。该通信系统100处于载波聚合场景(carrier aggregation,CA)或双链接场景(DC)中,该通信系统100包括网络设备110和终端设备120,网络设备110与终端设备120通过无线网络进行通信,当终端设备120检测到网络设备110和终端设备120之间的链路发生故障后,终端设备120向网络设备110发送链路失败恢复请求(beam failure recovery request,BFRQ),网络设备110接收到该BFRQ后,向终端设备120发送链路失败恢复响应(beam failure recovery response,BFRR)。
应理解,图1中网络设备110下可以包括多个小区,例如,包括第一小区和第二小区,若终端设备和该网络设备在第二小区的链路发生故障,该第一小区可以辅助该第二小区进行链路恢复,例如,该终端设备可以在属于该第一小区的上行资源上向该网络设备发送该BFRQ信息,该终端设备可以在属于该第二小区的下行资源上接收该网络设备发送的该BFRR信息。
当通信系统100的传输方向为上行传输时,终端设备120为发送端,网络设备110为接收端,当通信系统100的传输方向为下行传输时,网络设备110为发送端,终端设备120为接收端。
图2是本申请实施例提供的另一种通信系统200的结构示意图。该通信系统200处于双链接(dual connectivity,DC)、载波聚合(CA)或多点协作传输(coordinated multipoint transmission/reception,CoMP)的场景中,该通信系统200包括网络设备210、网络设备220和终端设备230,网络设备210为终端设备230初始接入时的网络设备,负责与终端设备230之间的RRC通信,网络设备220是在RRC重配置时添加的,用于提供额外的无线资源。配置了载波聚合(CA)的终端设备230与网络设备210和网络设备220相连,网络设备210和终端设备230之间的链路可以为称之为第一链路,网络设备220和终端设备230之间的链路可以称之为第二链路。
当网络设备210和网络设备220可以都向终端设备230配置用于传输BFRQ的上行资源时,当该第一链路或者第二链路发生故障,则终端设备230可以在用于传输BFRQ的上行资源上向网络设备210或者网络设备220发送BFRQ,网络设备210或者网络设备220收到该BFRQ后,向终端设备230发送BFRR。
当该网络设备220没有配置用于传输BFRQ的上行资源,那么当该第二链路发生故障 时,该终端设备230可以通过该网络设备210恢复该第二链路。
可选地,通信系统200中的网络设备210可以为该终端设备的主网络设备,网络设备220可以为该终端设备的多个辅网络设备中的一个。
一个实施例中,网络设备210可以是主基站,网络设备220可以是辅基站;或者网络设备210可以是辅基站,网络设备220可以是主基站。
本申请实施例中,网络设备210可以为主小区/主服务小区(primary cell/primary serving cell,PCell)所在的基站,辅助主小区(primary secondary cell,PSCell)所在的基站,特殊小区(special cell,SpCell)所在的基站,或者可以是传输接收节点(transmission and reception point,TRP),辅小区/辅服务小区(secondary cell/secondary serving cell,SCell)所在的基站,该第二网络设备可以为SCell所在的基站,或者可以是TRP。或者,网络设备210可以为TRP,SCell所在的基站,网络设备220可以为PCell,PSCell,SpCell,TRP,SCell所在的基站。
本申请实施例中,第一小区可以为PCell,PSCell,SpCell或者SCell,第二小区可以为SCell;或者,第一小区可以为SCell,第二小区可以为PCell,PSCell,SpCell或者SCell。
其中,有关PCell,PSCell,SCell和SpCell的解释如下:
PCell:CA场景中终端设备驻留的主小区。PSCell:主网络设备通过RRC连接信令配置给终端设备的在辅网络设备上的一个特殊辅助主小区。
SCell:通过RRC连接信令配置给终端设备的小区,工作在辅载波(SCC)上,可以为终端设备提供更多的无线资源。SCell可以只有下行,也可以上下行同时存在。
SpCell:对于DC场景,SpCell指主小区组(master cell group,MSG)的PCell或者辅小区组(secondary cell group,SCG)的PSCell;否则,如CA场景,SpCell指PCell。
应理解,本申请实施例中的技术方案可以适用于主小区(PCell)是高频或者低频,辅小区(SCell)是高频或者低频的情况,例如,当PCell是低频,SCell是高频,此时由于SCell没有配置上行资源,PCell是低频也没配置用于链路失败检测的PRACH资源或者PUCCH资源。通常低频和高频是相对而言的,也可以以某一特定频率为分界,例如6GHz。
一个实施例中,本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于载波聚合(carrier aggregation,CA)场景下的一个小区辅助另一个小区或者多个小区恢复链路。或者是DC场景下,一个小区组内的一个小区辅助另一个小区或者多个小区恢复链路。
本申请实施例中,“一个小区”可以和“另一个小区”属于相同的小区组,或者,属于不同的小区组,不同小区组主要描述DC场景下,小区组1的一个小区可以辅助小区组2的另一个小区恢复链路。
可选地,MCG中的小区辅助SCG中的小区恢复链路。
可选地,SCG中的小区辅助MCG中的小区恢复链路。
还应理解,本申请中,“小区”可以理解为“服务小区”、“载波”。
上述适用本申请的通信系统仅是举例说明,适用本申请的通信系统不限于此,例如,通信系统中包括的网络设备和终端设备的数量还可以是其它的数量,或者采用单基站、多载波聚合的场景、双链接的场景或设备到设备(device to device,D2D)通信场景。
本申请实施例中,为了检测和恢复链路失败,网络设备需要给终端设备配置用于波束 失败检测的参考信号资源集合(例如,beam failure detection RS resourceconfig或beam failure detection RS或failure detection resources)和用于恢复终端设备与网络设备链路的参考信号资源集合(candidate beam RS list或candidate beam RS identification resource或beam failure candidate beam resource或candidate beam identification RS)(也称为候选参考信号资源集合)。此外用于检测链路失败的参考信号还可以通过隐式方式指示,将指示PDCCH的TCI中关联的参考信号作为检测链路失败的参考信号,该参考信号是与PDCCH的DMRS满足QCL关系的参考信号,且为周期发送的参考信号。其中,beam failure detection RS set中的RS与下行物理控制信道PDCCH的解调参考信号满足QCL关系或者与PDCCH使用相同的TCI状态,当该集合中的部分或者所有参考信号的信道质量信息(如参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP),信道质量指示(channel quality indicator,CQI),块差错率(block error ratio,BLER),信号与干扰加噪声比(signal to Interference plus noise ratio,SINR),信噪比(signal noise ratio,SNR)等)低于预定门限,则判定为链路失败。其中低于预定门限可以是连续W次低于预定门限或者一定时间段内W次低于预定门限。可选的,该预定门限可以和无线链路失败失步门限(radio link failure(out of sync)OOS)相同。
可选的,链路失败是指用于PDCCH的波束失败检测的参考信号的信号质量小于或者等于预设门限。在本申请实施例中,这些概念是相同的含义。链路失败后,终端设备需要从参考信号资源集合中选出信道质量信息(如RSRP、RSRQ、CQI等)高于预定门限的参考信号资源,用于恢复链路。
可选的,该预定门限可以由网络设备配置。这里,beam failure detection RS是用于终端设备检测网络设备的某一发射波束的信道质量,该发射波束是网络设备与该终端设备进行通信时所使用的波束。
Candidate beam identification RS用于终端设备在判断出网络设备的该发射波束发生通信链路故障后,用于发起链路重配的参考信号集合。
在本申请实施例中,链路失败也可以称为通信故障、通信失败、链路故障、波束失败、波束故障、通信链路失败、通信链路故障等。
在本申请实施例中,链路失败恢复也可以称为恢复网络设备与终端设备通信,通信故障恢复、链路失败恢复、链路故障恢复、波束失败恢复、波束故障恢复通信链路失败恢复、通信链路故障恢复、链路重配等。
在具体实现中,用于波束失败检测的参考信号资源集合以及用于恢复终端设备与网络设备链路的参考信号资源集合这两个集合的名称还可以有其他叫法,本申请对此不作具体限定。
本申请实施例中,链路失败恢复请求信息又可以称为通信故障恢复请求信息、通信失败恢复请求信息、链路故障恢复请求信息、波束失败恢复请求信息、波束故障恢复请求信息、通信链路失败恢复请求信息、通信链路故障恢复请求信息、链路重配请求信息、重配请求信息等。
本申请实施例中,链路失败响应信息又可以称为链路失败恢复响应信息、通信失败响应信息、波束失败恢复响应信息、波束失败响应信息、通信链路故障恢复响应信息、通信 链路故障响应信息、通信失败恢复响应信息、通信链路失败响应信息、波束故障恢复响应信息、波束故障响应信息、链路重配响应信息、链路故障恢复响应信息、链路故障响应信息、链路失败恢复响应信息、链路失败响应信息、通信故障恢复响应信息、通信故障响应信息、重配响应信息等。
本申请实施例中,可选地,链路失败恢复请求可以是指在用于承载通信失败恢复请求的资源上发送信号,链路失败恢复响应信息可以是指在用于发送通信失败恢复响应的控制资源集合和/或搜索空间集合上接收循环冗余校验(cyclic redundancy check,CRC)由小区无线网络临时标识(cell radio network temporary identifier,C-RNTI)加扰的下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI),该通信失败恢复响应信息还可以由其他信息加扰,本申请实施例对此并不作限定。
应理解,本申请实施例中的通信失败、通信失败恢复、通信失败恢复请求信息和通信失败恢复响应信息的名称还可以有其他叫法,本申请对此不作具体限定。
本申请实施例中,网络设备为第一小区配置的用于发送所述第一小区的链路失败的上行资源集合,称为第一上行资源集合。该第一上行资源集合中包括的PRACH资源的个数等于第一小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号的个数,即一个PRACH资源与一个下行参考信号相关联。在上下行有互易性时,终端设备在一个PRACH资源上发送信息时的发送波束即为该PRACH资源关联的下行参考信号的接收波束对应的发送波束,即终端设备可以利用该接收波束对应的发送波束在该PRACH资源上发送信息。而上下行没有互易性时,一种可选的实施方式是,该第一上行资源集合中,一个PRACH资源与一个下行参考信号和一个上行参考信号关联,终端设备可以根据确定的下行参考信号关联的PRACH资源,进而确定该PRACH资源关联的上行参考信号,从而利用该上行参考信号的发送波束在该PRACH资源上发送信息。另一种可选的实施方式是,该PRACH资源可不与下行参考信号关联,而是可以利用专门配置的PUSCH资源再次上报下行参考信号的信息。
也就是说,上下行互易性场景,下行链路失败,上行链路也发生失败,此时终端设备会使用识别的下行参考信号的接收波束对应的发送波束发送PRACH,所以才需要配置多个PRACH资源。而在上下行非互易性场景,下行链路失败,上行链路可能失败也可能没有失败。
若上行链路也发生失败,那么需要寻找相应的上行参考信号才能发送PRACH,此时可以要不同的PRACH资源关联不同的上行参考信号,但是此时不一定要关联下行参考信号,下行参考信号可能使用下文实施例中的第三上行资源即PUSCH再一次上报。若上行链路没有发生失败,那么可以使用激活的PUCCH的波束或其他可用的上行波束发送PRACH,此时是PRACH可以关联下行参考信号,且不需要PUSCH资源再一次上报。
但是,下行链路失败时,终端设备是不知道上行链路是否失败的,所以在上下行没有互易性的场景,将PRACH资源关联上行参考信号,然后通过专用的PUSCH资源上报下行参考信号的信息。
本申请实施例中,空间相关参数的信息可以包括准共址(Quasi-collocation,QCL)假设信息、空间相关信息(Spatial Relation)等。本申请实施例中,空间相关参数的信息为用于发送或接收第一小区的信道和/或信号的空间相关参数的信息。该信道可以包括控制信道、数 据信道、携带参考信号的信道,等等。其中,该信道可以为PUCCH,PDCCH,PUSCH,PRACH以及物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel,PDSCH)等等。其中,信号可以为信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS)、探测参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal,SRS)、同步信号广播信道块(synchronous signal/PBCH block,SSB)等,或者,该信号可以为是信道状态信息参考信号、追踪参考信号(tracking reference signal,TRS)、同步信号广播信道块(synchronous signal/PBCH block,SSB)等。
其中,准共址(Quasi-collocation,QCL)信息也可以称为同位置假设信息或准共站假设信息。QCL假设信息用于辅助描述终端设备接收侧波束赋形信息以及接收流程等信息。应理解满足QCL关系的两个参考信号或信道的空间特性参数是相同的,从而基于该源参考信号资源标识可推断出目标参考信号的空间特性参数。
其中,空间相关信息用于辅助描述终端设备发射侧波束赋形信息以及发射流程等信息。应理解,满足空间相关信息的两个参考信号或信道的空间特性参数是相同的,从而基于该源参考信号资源标识可推断出目标参考信号的空间特性参数。终端设备可以根据空间相关信息关联的参考信号资源标识的发射波束,发射目标参考信号。
其中,接收波束等价于空间传输滤波器,空域传输滤波器,空域接收滤波器,空间接收滤波器;发送波束可以等价于空域滤波器,空域传输滤波器,空域发送滤波器,空间发送滤波器。空间相关参数的信息等价于空间滤波器(spatial dimain transmission/receive filter)。可选地,空间滤波器一般包括空间发送滤波器,和/或空间接收滤波器。该空间滤波器还可以称之为空域发送滤波器,空域接收滤波器,空间传输滤波器,空域传输滤波器等。其中,终端设备侧的接收波束和网络设备侧的发送波束可以为下行空间滤波器,终端设备侧的发送波束和网络设备侧的接收波束可以为上行空间滤波器。
其中,空间特性参数包括以下参数中的一种或多种:入射角(angle of arrival,AoA)、主(Dominant)入射角AoA、平均入射角、入射角的功率角度谱(power angular spectrum,PAS)、出射角(angle of departure,AoD)、主出射角、平均出射角、出射角的功率角度谱、终端设备发送波束成型、终端设备接收波束成型、空间信道相关性、基站发送波束成型、基站接收波束成型、平均信道增益、平均信道时延(average delay)、时延扩展(delay spread)、多普勒扩展(Doppler spread)、多普勒频移(Doppler shift)、空间接收参数(spatial Rx parameters),空间发送参数(spatial Tx parameters)等。这些空间特性参数描述了源参考信号与目标参考信号的天线端口间的空间信道特性,有助于终端设备根据该QCL假设信息确定接收侧波束赋形或接收处理过程等信息,或者,终端设备根据空间相关信息确定发射侧波束赋形或发射处理过程等信息。
其中,传输配置指示(transmission configuration indicator,TCI)状态是指一个TCI状态(TCI state)可以包含一个或两个被引用的参考信号,及所关联的QCL类型(QCL type)。QCL类型又可以分为A/B/C/D四个类别,分别是{Doppler shift,Doppler spread,average delay,delay spread,spatial Rx parameter}的不同组合或选择。TCI状态包括QCL信息,或者TCI状态用于指示QCL信息。
本申请实施例中,控制资源集合(control resource set,CORESET)是网络设备为终端 设备配置的一个或多个资源集合,用于发送PDCCH。网络设备可以在控制资源集合上,向终端设备发送控制信道。此外,网络设备还可以为终端设备配置控制资源集合关联的其他配置,例如搜索空间集合等。每个控制资源集合的配置信息存在差异,例如频域宽度差异、时域长度差异等。可扩展地,该控制资源集合可以是5G移动通信系统定义的CORESET或控制区域(control region)或增强物理下行控制信道(Enhanced-Physical Downlink Control Channel,E-PDCCH)集合(set)等。
本申请实施例中,公共搜索空间集合(common search space set,CSS)中配置的PDCCH主要用于调度剩余系统信息(remaining system information,RMSI),其它系统信息(other system information,OSI),寻呼(Paging)消息,随机接入消息(包括:第二消息(Message2)或第四消息(Message4))中的一种或多种信息。
本申请实施例中,“关联”是指网络设备为终端设备配置的不同信息之间是互为包含关系,或者其中一个信息包含另一信息的索引、标识,或者两个信息之间存在对应关系,等等。例如,如图4所示,第一上行资源集合包括网络设备为第一小区配置的用于发送所述第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的PRACH资源,还包括每个PRACH资源对应的下行参考信号。再例如,如图6所示,第二上行资源集合包括的M个PRACH资源,该M个PRACH资源没有对应的下行参考信号。再例如,如图7所示,QCL假设信息或空间相关信息关联的参考信号,可为QCL假设信息或空间相关信息包含参考信号信息,比如参考信号的索引或标识等,或者可为某个配置信息中包括QCL假设信息或空间相关信息与参考信号信息之间的对应关系等,本申请实施例不做限定。其中,该配置信息可以为控制资源集合等。
可选的,该第一上行资源集合中可以包括多个用于发送第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的PRACH资源,每个PRACH资源对应的下行参考信号,以及每个PRACH资源对应的上行参数信号。可选的,第二上行资源集合可以包括M个用于发送N个第二小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的PRACH资源,每个PRACH资源可以有对应的下行参考信号,但可以为无效状态。其中,无效或不配置关联的参考信号也即不配置该PRACH资源的beam信息,使得第一指示信息的发送波束随着第一小区的服务波束(即激活的QCL信息或空间相关信息)动态或半静态的配置。其中,这些关联关系可以为网络设备配置的,也可以是预定义的方式确定的。
本申请实施例中,第一指示信息用于指示N个第二小区中的第i个小区的链路失败。其中,第一指示信息基于第一上行资源的不同,能够指示的信息也不同。比如,第一上行资源为第一上行资源集合中的PRACH资源,则第一指示信息指示终端设备存在小区发生了链路失败。第一上行资源为第一上行资源集合中第一小区激活的QCL信息或空间相关信息对应的PRACH资源且约定在第一上行资源集合中第一小区非激活的QCL信息或空间相关信息对应的PRACH资源用来发送第一小区的链路失败请求信息,则第一指示信息可以指示N个第二小区中存在小区发生了链路失败;第一上行资源为第二上行资源集合中该第i个小区对应的PRACH资源,则该第一指示信息可以指示第i个小区发生了链路失败;或者第一上行资源为网络设备配置的用于发送N个第二小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的PUCCH资源,则第一指示信息就为链路失败恢复请求信息,等等,以下会进行相关阐述。
其中,链路失败恢复请求信息包括了发生链路失败的小区的标识信息、参考信号信息 中的至少一个。链路失败响应信息用于告知终端设备,网络设备已接收到第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息等。
以下结合图1所示的通信系统对本申请提供的多种实施例进行阐述。假设通信系统100中,网络设备110包括第一小区和N个第二小区,第i个小区为N个第二小区中的其中一个,N为大于或等于1的整数。可选的,该第一小区可以为用于发送对所述第i个小区的调度请求信息的资源所在的小区。
其中,本申请提供的链路失败恢复网络设备应用到图2所示的通信系统,比如第i个小区为网络设备220中的小区,第一小区为网络设备210中的小区时,与图1所示的通信系统的不同之处在于,网络设备210接收到第i个小区的标识信息和候选的参考信号信息(如第三参考信号信息和/第四参考信号信息)时,可将该标识信息和候选的参考信号信息发送给网络设备220,由网络设备220利用该候选的参考信号信息在该第i个小区的下行资源上发送链路失败响应信息。而图1所示的通信系统,网络设备110接收到第i个小区的标识信息和候选的参考信号信息(如第三参考信号信息和/第四参考信号信息)时,可由网络设备110利用该候选的参考信号信息在该第i个小区的下行资源上发送链路失败响应信息。因此,以下结合图1所示的通信系统所阐述的内容中,除了两种通信系统中,发送链路失败响应信息的执行主体可能不同外,其他内容,比如可选的实施方式,也适用于图2所示的通信系统。
请参阅图3,图3是本申请实施例提供的一种链路失败恢复方法的流程示意图。基于图1所示的通信系统,终端设备确定第i个小区发生了链路失败时,可以执行以下步骤,恢复第i个小区的链路。
101、终端设备120根据空间相关参数的信息,在第一上行资源上发送第一指示信息;
其中,所述空间相关参数的信息为用于发送或接收第一小区的信道和/或信号的空间相关参数的信息;所述第一指示信息用于指示N个第二小区中的第i个小区的链路失败;所述第一上行资源为所述第一小区的上行资源。
102、网络设备110根据空间相关参数的信息,在第一上行资源上接收第一指示信息,并根据所述第一指示信息发送链路失败响应信息。
其中,该链路失败响应信息用于通知终端设备,网络设备已获知存在链路失败的小区的标识信息以及候选的参考信号的信息。
可见,该实施方式中,网络设备不需要配置第二小区的多个参考信号资源关联的用于指示第二小区的链路失败的多个上行资源,终端设备可利用第一小区的空间相关参数的信息以及第一小区的上行资源即可通知网络设备发生了链路失败,使得网络设备能够返回链路失败响应信息,从而降低了资源开销。
其中,图3所示的实施方式中,第一指示信息还需要指示第i个小区的标识信息、第三参考信号信息和第四参考信号信息中的至少一个。从而,使得网络设备可以根据该第一指示信息发送链路失败响应信息。本申请实施例中,第三参考信号信息为候选参考信号资源集合中信道质量大于或等于第一门限的参考信号的信息,所述第四参考信号信息为候选参考信号资源集合中信道质量小于或等于第二门限的参考信号的信息。其中,该参考信号资源集合为第i个小区对应的参考信号资源集合。可选地,该第三参考信号信息对应的第 三参考信号和该第四参考信号信息对应的第四参考信号为该第i个小区上的参考信号。
可选地,该第三参考信号为在下行链路(该终端设备和该网络设备之间的链路)上新识别的下行参考信号,该第三参考信号信息包括该第三参考信号的资源索引和/或该第三参考信号的质量信息。
还应理解,该第三参考信号可以用于网络设备恢复下行链路(网络设备与该终端设备之间的链路)。
还应理解,该下行链路还可以理解为该终端设备与该第二网络设备在该第i个小区的链路。
可选地,该第四参考信号为检测下行链路(该终端设备和网络设备之间的链路)失败的参考信号,或者该第四参考信号为对应于该第一下行资源关联的空间相关参数或者该空间相关参数中包含的参考信号,该第四参考信号信息包括该第四参考信号的资源索引和/或该第四参考信号的质量信息。
应理解,该第四参考信号可以为波束失败检测参考信号集合beam failure detection RS set中的一个或多个参考信号。
还应理解,可选地,该第三参考信号和该第四参考信号为该第二小区的参考信号。
还应理解,该第三参考信号和该第四参考信号可以为下行参考信号。
例如,该第三参考信号和该第四参考信号为CSI RS,SSB,DMRS或者TRS等。
在一种可选的实施例中,链路失败恢复过程中,终端设备会维护一个波束失败恢复的计时器或计数器以便于及时停止链路失败恢复过程。其中,波束失败恢复的计时器用于控制链路失败恢复的时间,波束失败恢复的计数器用于控制链路失败恢复的请求次数。也就是说,终端设备根据空间相关参数的信息,在第一上行资源上发送第一指示信息后,网络设备有可能接收不到该第一指示信息,或者,无法发送链路失败恢复响应消息,此时,终端设备在上述计时器设定的时长内继续等待,和/或在上述计数器设定的次数内,多次发送第一指示信息,即多次执行步骤101。因此,本申请实施例还提供的一种链路失败恢复方法,可以不包括步骤102-103。
请参阅图4,图4是本申请实施例提供的另一种链路失败恢复方法的流程示意图,与图3所示的链路失败恢复方法相比,图4所示的链路失败恢复方法中,终端设备可以利用网络设备配置的专用的物理上行共享信道PUSCH资源来发送第i个小区的标识信息、第三参考信号信息和第四参考信号信息中的至少一个。相比于图3所示的链路失败恢复方法,图4所示的链路失败恢复方法可以减小第一指示信息的负载,特别是,链路失败是突发事件,需要周期性的预留资源,以随时发送第一指示信息,告知网络设备发生了链路失败,该实施方式不需要周期性的预留PUCCH资源,从而能够节省上行资源。
具体的,如图4所示,该链路失败恢复方法可以包括以下步骤:
201、终端设备120根据空间相关参数的信息,在第一上行资源上发送第一指示信息;
其中,所述空间相关参数的信息为用于发送或接收第一小区的信道和/或信号的空间相关参数的信息;所述第一指示信息用于指示N个第二小区中的第i个小区的链路失败;所述第一上行资源为所述第一小区的上行资源。
202、网络设备110接收第一指示信息,并发送第一信令,所述第一信令用于指示第三上行资源;
可选地,第三上行资源是第一小区的上行资源;可选地,第三上行资源还可以是其他没有发生下行链路失败的小区或者没有发生上行链路失败的小区。
在一种可选的实施方式中,所述第一信令为媒体接入控制层控制元素MAC-CE信令或下行控制信息(Downlink control information,DCI)信令。
在另一种可选的实施方式中,所述媒体接入控制层控制元素(Media Access Control control element,MAC-CE)信令或所述DCI信令为专用于指示所述第三上行资源的信令。
其中,该DCI信令的循环冗余校验(Cyclic Redundancy Check,CRC)可由专用的无线网络临时标识加扰,或者,该DCI信令中携带专用指示,用于通知终端设备该DCI调度的PUSCH资源为用于发送链路失败恢复请求信息的资源。比如,该专用的无线网络临时标识为除小区系统信息无线网络临时标识(system information Network Temporary Identifier,SI-RNTI)、随机接入无线网络临时标识(random access Radio Network Temporary Identifier,RA-RNTI)、小区临时无线网络临时标识(temporary cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier,TC-RANTI)、小区无线网络临时标识(cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier,C-RNTI),寻呼临时无线网络临时标识(Paging Radio Network Temporary Identifier,P-RNTI)、中断无线网络临时标识(interruption Radio Network Temporary Identifier,INT-RNTI)、时隙格式指示无线网络临时标识(slot format indication Radio Network Temporary Identifier,SFI-RNTI)、上行共享功控无线网络临时标识(transmit power control physical uplink shared channel Radio Network Temporary Identifier,TPC-PUSCH-RNTI)、上行控制功控无线网络临时标识(transmit power control physical uplink control channel Radio Network Temporary Identifier,TPC-PUCCH-RNTI)探测参考信号功控无线网络临时标识(transmit power control sounding reference symbols Radio Network Temporary Identifier,TPC-SRS-RNTI)、配置调度无线网络临时标识(configured scheduling Radio Network Temporary Identifier,CS-RNTI)和半静态信道状态信息无线网络临时标识(semi-persistent channel state information Radio Network Temporary Identifier,SP-CSI-RNTI)以外的无线网络临时标识加扰,如波束失败恢复无线网络临时标识(Beam failure recovery Radio Network Temporary Identifier,BFR-RNTI)。这样,终端设备根据该DCI信令就知道网络设备收到了波束失败请求,且网络设备通过第一信令分配的PUSCH资源,是用于波束失败恢复的相关信息的上报的。再比如,该专用指示可以由DCI中的其他状态位,来使得总段设备区分收到的PUSCH资源是用于波束失败恢复的相关信息的上报,还是用于正常的数据上报。
203、终端设备120接收第一信令,并在所述第三上行资源上发送第二指示信息;
其中,所述第二指示信息用于指示所述第i个小区的标识信息、第三参考信号信息和第四参考信号信息中的至少一个;
204、网络设备110在所述第三上行资源上接收第二指示信息,并根据所述第二指示信息发送链路失败响应信息。
同样,所述第三参考信号信息为所述第i个小区的候选参考信号资源集合中信道质量大于或等于第一门限的参考信号的信息,所述第四参考信号信息为所述第i个小区的候选 参考信号资源集合中信道质量小于或等于第二门限的参考信号的信息。
可见,该实施方式中,终端设备先发送第一指示信息,告知网络设备发生了链路失败,再由网络设备通过第一信令为终端设备配置第三上行资源,从而终端设备可以利用该第三上行资源将第i个小区的标识信息、第三参考信号信息、第四参考信号信息中的至少一个上报给网络设备,以便于网络设备恢复第i个小区的链路。可见,该实施方式也不需要网络设备为第i个小区的候选参考信号资源集合中的每个下行参考信号配置上行资源,来实现链路恢复,而是配置一个第三上行资源即可,从而能够大大降低资源开销。也可以说,该实施方式不需要周期性的配置大容量的资源来随时等待终端上报链路失败的相关信息,而是可以由终端设备先将小区存在链路失败的信息上报之后,再指示非周期信令分配大容量的资源,以上报链路失败的相关信息。
其中,本申请除了图3、图4所示的实施例外,还可以包括其他实施例,比如,终端设备执行链路失败恢复方法时,可能发送了第一指示信息后,可能由于网络状况整体比较恶劣,故终端设备无法收到网络设备的响应信息,即使该种情况下,该链路失败恢复方法也比现有技术中,需要为小区的每个下行参考信号配置上行资源的方式相比,能够大大的降低上行资源开销。总之,本申请实施例不做限定。
本申请实施例中,发送第一指示信息所采用的空间相关参数的信息可以包括多种实施方式,发送第一指示信息所采用的第一上行资源也可以包括多种实施方式,第一信令也包括多种实施方式,第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息的负载的大小也包括多种实施方式,等等,以下进行相关阐述。
本申请实施例还涉及一部分内容,即发送第一指示信息采用的空间相关参数的信息,可以包括多种实施方式,以下进行阐述。
在一种可选的实施方式中,所述空间相关参数的信息为用于接收第一小区的物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)的准共址QCL假设信息。
也就是说,发送第一指示信息的发送波束可以采用接收第一小区的PDCCH的接收波束对应的发送波束。一般情况下,该方法适用于有互易性的场景,例如,形成接收波束的滤波器与形成发送波束的滤波器相同。该实施方式中,根据用于接收第一小区的PDCCH的QCL假设信息在第一上行资源上发送第一指示信息,避免如现有技术采用候选参考信号集合中的一个下行参考信号关联的QCL假设信息,所导致的需要为每个下行参考信号配置关联的上行资源,来发送链路失败,从而节省了资源开销。
在一种示例中,终端设备可以在CORESET ID1、CORESET ID 2,CORESET ID3等资源关联的搜索空间集合内检测PDCCH,不同时频资源上可以检测相同的或者不同的PDCCH,因此,该示例可以采用上述控制资源集合中索引值或标识最小的控制资源集合的QCL假设信息,来发送第一指示信息。
在一种示例中,QCL信息是以CORESET为单元配置的,而不是以PDCCH,search space set来配置或激活的。所以,PDCCH是在哪个CORESET上检测的,那就使用对应CORESET的QCL信息接收PDCCH,相应的,该QCL信息还用于发送第一指示信息。
在另一种示例中,该PDCCH可以为公共搜索空间集合及其关联的CORESET共同确定的时频资源上检测的PDCCH。即用于发送第一指示信息的QCL假设信息可以为所述第一小区的公共搜索空间集合CSS的QCL假设信息,该CSS的QCL假设信息关联的发射波束的覆盖好,采用该发射波束来发送第一指示信息,能够增加网络设备接收到该第一指示信息的概率。或者,用于发送第一指示信息的QCL假设信息可以为所述第一小区的公共搜索空间CSS所在的控制资源集合的QCL假设信息。
在另一种可选的实施方式中,发送第一指示信息的空间相关参数的信息为用于发送第一小区的物理上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel,PUCCH)的空间相关信息。一般情况,当上下行没有互易性时,可以采用该实施方式来发送第一指示信息。
在一种示例中,该PUCCH的空间相关信息可以为第一小区的一个或多个PUCCH中索引值或标识最小的PUCCH的空间相关信息。
在另一种示例中,该PUCCH的空间相关信息可以为用于发送对第i个小区的调度请求信息的PUCCH的空间相关信息;也就是说,终端设备确定第i个小区发生了链路失败时,可以采用用于发送该第i个小区的调度请求信息的PUCCH的空间相关信息,来发送第一指示信息。
在又一种可选的实施方式中,发送第一指示信息的空间相关参数的信息为第一小区的同步信号广播信道块(synchronous signal/physical broadcast channel block,SSB)资源的空间相关参数的信息,即采用在SSB资源接收SSB所采用的接收波束对应的发送波束,来发送第一指示信息。可选地,该SSB资源为终端设备初始接入该第一小区时的SSB资源。一般情况下,该方法适用于有互易性的场景,例如,形成接收波束的滤波器与形成发送波束的滤波器相同。
在又一种可选的实施方式中,发送第一指示信息的空间相关参数的信息为用于承载第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的信道的空间相关信息。
其中,发送第一指示信息的空间相关参数的信息为用于承载第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的信道的空间相关信息的实施方式中,第一小区发生链路失败时,可以包括以下情况:
情况一、终端设备先确定第一小区发生了链路失败,再确定N个第二小区中的第i个小区发生了链路失败;
针对这种情况,还包括以下几个时间点:
时间点1:终端设备在接收到第一小区的链路失败恢复响应信息之前,确定第i个小区发生了链路失败;
时间点2:终端设备在接收到第一小区的链路失败恢复响应信息之后,确定第i个小区发生了链路失败;
时间点3:终端设备在接收到第一小区的重配信令之后,确定第i个小区发生了链路失败。
实施方式一
终端设备确定第一小区发生了链路失败时,会根据第一小区对应的候选参考信号资源集合中的参考信号的信道质量,确定大于预设门限的参考信号,利用该参考信号关联的空 间相关信息,在该参考信号关联的PRACH资源上发送第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息。
此时,终端设备在发送了第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息之后,可以使用承载第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的信道的空间相关信息来发送第一指示信息。
该实施方式一可以适应于时间点1和时间点2的场景,即在终端设备确定了用于发送第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息后,就可以发送该第一指示信息。
实施方式二
终端设备可以在接收到第一小区的链路失败恢复响应信息之后,再发送第一指示信息。其中,终端设备可以使用承载该第一小区的链路失败恢复响应信息的信道的空间相关信息,来发送第一指示信息。
由于终端设备确定第一小区发生了链路失败时,在用于链路失败恢复的计时器和/计数器的时间和/或次数内,可以采用多个下行参考信号关联的空间相关信息来发送第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息,而能够接收到第一小区的链路失败恢复响应信息的接收波束或者空间相关参数的信息可能更好,故利用承载第一小区的链路失败恢复响应信息的空间相关信息来发送第一指示信息,可以提高网络设备接收到该第一指示信息的概率。
因此,该实施方式二可以适应于时间点1和时间2,即终端设备会在接收到第一小区的链路失败恢复响应信息后,再发送第一指示信息。
实施方式三
终端设备可以在接收到第一小区的控制信道的重配信息后,使用该重配信息确定第一小区的链路恢复成功后,再发送第一指示信息。此时,终端设备可以利用该重配信息来发送第一指示信息,也就是说,第一小区已重建链路,可利用第一小区激活的QCL假设信息或空间相关信息来发送第一指示信息,如上述空间相关参数的信息的各种实施方式,比如用于接收第一小区的PDCCH的QCL信息,或者,用于发送第一小区的PUCCH的空间相关信息,等等。
可见,终端设备利用该重配信息来发送第一指示信息,相比上述实施方式,能够大大的增加网络设备接收到第一指示信息的概率。因此,该实施方式三适应于时间点1-3时,需要等到第一小区完全恢复成功后,再恢复第i个小区的链路,即再发送第一指示信息。
实施方式四
终端设备恢复第一小区的链路和恢复第二小区的链路的时间点可以不相关,比如,终端设备确定了第一小区发送链路失败时,就针对第一小区执行链路失败恢复的相关操作,终端设备确定第i个小区发生了链路失败时,也针对第二小区执行链路失败恢复的相关操作。
其中,终端设备针对第i个小区发送第一指示信息所采用的空间相关参数的信息可以为上述用于承载第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的信道的空间相关信息。
该实施方式就不需要考虑上述各时间点,故能够更加及时的告知网络设备小区发生了链路失败,以便于网络设备能够尽快返回相关的响应信息。
情况二、终端设备同时确定了第一小区和第i个小区发生了链路失败,此时,可以采用上述实施方式一至四中的任一种。
情况三、终端设备先确定了第i个小区发生了链路失败,然后确定了第一小区发生了 链路失败
比如,终端设备确定了第i个小区发生了链路失败后,采用第一小区激活的QCL假设信息或空间相关信息来发送第一指示信息,但还没收到网络设备针对该第i个小区返回的响应信息时,第一小区也发生了链路失败,此时,终端设备可以执行上述实施方式一至四任一项所述的方法,来发送第一指示信息。也可以结合上述空间相关参数的信息的各种实施方式,比如用于接收第一小区的PDCCH的QCL信息,或者,用于发送第一小区的PUCCH的空间相关信息,等等,来多次发送第一指示信息,直到接收到网络设备的响应信息。
可见,该部分内容中,阐述了发送第一指示信息所采用的空间相关参数的信息中的各种实施方式,以便于终端设备及时告知网络设备,小区发生了链路失败。
本申请实施例还涉及一部分内容,即发送第一指示信息所采用的第一上行资源,可以包括多种实施方式,以下进行详细阐述。
在一种可选的实施方式中,如图3所示的实施例中,第一指示信息包含所述第i个小区的标识信息、第三参考信号信息和第四参考信号信息中的至少一个,故该第一上行资源可以为在所述第一小区的上行资源上配置的专用于发送所述N个第二小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的物理上行控制信道PUCCH资源。
可选的,网络设备为N个第二小区配置的该PUCCH资源可以只有一个,这样所有的第二小区均采用该PUCCH资源来发送链路失败恢复请求信息,与现有技术中需要为每个小区配置每个下行参考信号关联的上行资源相比,能够大大的降低资源开销。例如,N个第二小区中哪个小区发生了链路失败,就可以利用该PUCCH资源来上报链路失败的相关信息。再例如,当N个第二小区中多个小区同时发生了链路失败,则可以先选择恢复一个小区的链路,再恢复另一个小区的链路。
可选的,网络设备为N个第二小区配置的该PUCCH资源可以为多个,但多个PUCCH资源所占的总资源小于现有技术中为每个小区配置每个下行参考信号关联的上行资源的总资源。比如,可以根据第二小区的个数为第二小区配置相应数量的PUCCH。再比如,根据网络的可靠性,来定时设定所配置的PUCCH的数量。
在另一种可选的实施方式中,如图4所示的实施例中,可由第二指示信息来指示所述第i个小区的标识信息、第三参考信号信息和第四参考信号信息中的至少一个,故第一指示信息的负载较小。
在一种示例中,第一上行资源可以为第一上行资源集合中的物理随机接入信道PRACH资源,所述第一上行资源集合为所述第一小区配置的用于发送所述第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的资源的集合。该示例可以使得快速的发送第一指示信息。
其中,第一小区也发生链路失败的情况,比如上文所述的情况一至三,该第一上行资源可以为第一上行资源集合中用于发送第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的PRACH资源。
在另一种示例中,第一小区没有发生链路失败,或者第一小区已接收到重配信息成功恢复了链路,则该第一上行资源可以为第一上行资源集合中第一参考信号关联的PRACH资源,所述第一参考信号为与所述第一小区激活的QCL信息或空间相关信息相关联的参考信号。该示例中,由于激活的QCL信息或空间相关信息相关联的参考信号的信道质量相对 较好,从而,可以增加第一指示信息发送成功的概率。
其中,第一参考信号可以为下行参考信号,如CSI-RS、SSB、TRS等;可选地,该参考信号可以为上行参考信号,如SRS。第二参考信号可以为下行参考信号,如CSI-RS、SSB、TRS等;可选地,该参考信号可以为上行参考信号,如SRS。
进一步的,在上述示例限定第一上行资源为第一小区激活的QCL信息或空间相关信息相关联的参考信号所关联的上行资源,则所述第一上行资源集合中第二参考信号关联的PRACH资源用于发送所述第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息,所述第二参考信号为与所述第一小区非激活的QCL信息或空间相关信息相关联的参考信号。也就是说,可以预先协议约定或信令配置,用于发送N个第二小区的链路失败所采用的第一上行资源为第一上行资源集合中激活的QCL信息或空间相关信息相关联的参考信号所关联的PRACH资源;同时预先协议约定或信令配置,用于发送第一小区的链路失败所采用的上行资源为第一上行资源集合中非激活的QCL信息或空间相关信息相关联的参考信号所关联的PRACH资源。这样,网络设备在接收到激活的QCL信息或空间相关信息相关联的参考信号所关联的PRACH资源发送的链路失败时,可以确定是第二小区中的小区发生了链路失败;网络设备在接收到非激活的QCL信息或空间相关信息相关联的参考信号所关联的PRACH资源发送的链路失败时,可以确定是第一小区发生了链路失败。
其中,激活的QCL信息指的是用于接收第一小区的PDCCH的激活的QCL信息,激活的空间相关信息指的是用于发送第一小区的PUCCH的激活的空间相关信息。非激活的QCL信息指的是用于接收第一小区的PDCCH的非激活的QCL信息,非激活的空间相关信息指的是用于发送第一小区的PUCCH的非激活的空间相关信息。也就是说,激活的QCL信息为从多个候选的QCL信息中确定实际使用的QCL信息,非激活的QCL信息为预设时间段中没有被实际使用的QCL信息。相应的,激活的空间相关信息为从多个候选的QCL信息中确定实际使用的空间相关信息,非激活的空间相关信息为预设时间段中没有被实际使用的空间相关信息。
比如,第一上行资源集合包括16个PRACH资源,分别关联了16个下行参考信号(CSI-RS1~CSI-RS16)。网络设备配置用于接收第一小区的PDCCH的QCL信息中包括的参考信号为CSI-RS1。当终端设备确定第一小区发生波束失败时,终端设备会在CSI-RS2~CSI-RS16中寻找大于预设门限的下行参考信号,并在该下行参考信号对应的PRACH资源上发送对第一小区的波束失败恢复请求信息,此时网络设备就知道第一小区发生了波束失败,且知道终端设备推荐的新的下行波束为该PRACH资源关联的下行参考信号。当终端确定第i个小区发送波束失败时,终端设备会在第一小区的服务波束对应的PRACH资源上(也即CSI-RS1资源关联的PRACH资源上)发送对第i个小区的第一指示信息。
另外,该示例与图3所示的实施例相结合,网络设备可以根据第一指示信息确定N个第二小区中的小区发送了链路失败,使得第一信令能够触发N个第二小区的候选参考信号资源集合,而不必周期性的触发或发送N个第二小区的候选参考信号资源集合中的各参考信号,从而,能够节省资源开销。
而在另一种可选的实施方式中,网络设备可以在第一小区的上行资源中为N个第二小 区配置M个用于发送第二小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的PRACH资源,称为所述第二上行资源集合,N大于或等于所述M。该第二上行资源集合包括的PRACH资源与第一上行资源集合包括的PRACH资源的不同之处在于,第二上行资源集合包括的PRACH资源不与下行参考信号相关联,或者与下行参考信号关联但为无效的,即不同于现有技术中为每个小区的每个下行参考信号配置的上行资源,因此,该实施方式与现有技术相比,依旧能够降低资源开销。
并且,终端设备利用第二上行资源集合中的PRACH资源来发送第一指示信息,可以使得网络设备在该PRACH资源上接收到第一指示信息时,就能够获知是N个第二小区中的小区发生了链路失败。
比如,与图4所示的实施例相结合,第一信令还能够触发N个第二小区的候选参考信号资源集合中的各参考信号,避免网络设备周期性触发该候选参考信号资源集合,从而能够节省资源开销。
该实施方式中,N等于所述M时,所述第二上行资源集合的一个PRACH资源与所述N个第二小区中的一个第二小区一一对应;则终端设备发送第一指示信息所采用的第一上行资源为所述第二上行资源集合中所述第i个小区对应的PRACH资源。
另外,由于所述第二上行资源集合的一个PRACH资源与所述N个第二小区中的一个第二小区一一对应,故网络设备根据接收的第一指示信息所采用的PRACH资源,就能够获知相应的第二小区,故第一指示信息还用于指示所述第i个小区的标识信息。可见,该种情况下,图3所示的实施例中第二指示信息就不必指示第i个小区的标识信息。另外,该种情况下,网络设备可以触发该第i个小区的候选参考信号资源集合,而不需要触发所有第二小区的候选参考信号资源集合。
该实施方式中,N大于所述M时,所述第二上行资源集合中的一个PRACH资源与P个第二小区组中的一个第二小区组相对应,所述N个第二小区包括所述P个第二小区组,一个第二小区组包含一个或多个第二小区,所述P为大于等于1且小于所述N的整数。则第一上行资源为所述第二上行资源集合中所述第i个小区所属的第二小区组对应的PRACH资源。
若不同的第二小区组对应的PRACH资源不同,则终端设备发送第一指示信息时,可以采用第i个小区所属的第二小区组对应的PRACH资源,相应的,网络设备可以在接收到第一指示信息时,根据该PRACH资源获知对应的第二小区组,从而第一信令可以触发该第二小区组对应的候选参考信号资源集合,而不需要触发所有第二小区的候选参考信号资源集合,或者不必周期性的触发所有第二小区的候选参考信号资源集合,从而节省资源开销。
比如,P个第二小区组与M个PRACH资源一一对应,则第一指示信息还能够指示发生链路失败的第i个小区所在的第二小区组的标识信息。相应的,第一信令可以触发该第二小区组的候选参考信号资源集合。
再比如,M=1时,即网络设备为N个第二小区配置一个PRACH资源,即第二上行资源集合中包含一个PRACH资源,此时终端设备利用该PRACH资源发送第一指示信息时,网络设备接收到该第一指示信息,能够获知是N个第二小区中的小区发生了链路失败。
本申请实施例还涉及一部分内容,即第一指示信息和/或所述第二指示信息的负载大小可以包括多种实施方式,以下进行详细阐述。
在一种可选的实施方式中,所述第一指示信息或所述第二指示信息用于指示所述第i个小区的标识信息,还用于指示所述第三参考信号信息和/或所述第四参考信号信息时,所述第i个小区的标识信息与所述第三参考信号信息和/或所述第四参考信号信息独立编码。
其中,独立编码是指标识信息与所述第三参考信号信息和/或所述第四参考信号信息是采用不同部分的比特位分开指示的,网络设备需要识别出标识信息,才能获知第三参考信号信息和/或所述第四参考信号信息的比特数,即才能识别出第三参考信号信息和/或所述第四参考信号信息。
本申请实施例中,所述第一指示信息的负载的大小和/或所述第二指示信息的负载的大小与所述第一上行资源相关,以下从不同的实施方式进行阐述。
在一种实施方式中,发送第一指示信息的第一上行资源为网络设备为N个第二小区配置的专用于发送链路失败恢复请求信息的PUCCH资源,则:
该第一指示信息需要指示第i个小区的标识信息,以及第三参考信号信息和/或第四参考信号信息。由于终端设备和网络设备均知道第二小区的数量,故该第i个小区的标识信息的比特数为固定值,比如
Figure PCTCN2019099468-appb-000004
而第三参考信号信息和/或第四参考信号信息的比特数与该标识信息标识的各小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号的个数有关。
因此,第一指示信息的负载大小为固定值时,第三参考信号信息的比特数基于N个第二小区对应的多个候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数最多的候选参考信号资源集合来确定,第四参考信号信息的比特数基于N个第二小区对应的多个波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中的下行参考信号个数最多的失败检测参考信号资源集合来确定。假设下行参考信号个数最多的候选参考信号资源集合包含Y个,可选地,第一指示信息的负载可根据
Figure PCTCN2019099468-appb-000005
来确定。
第一指示信息的负载大小为非固定值时,第三参考信号信息的比特数随着标识信息所指示的小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数的变化而变化。,第四参考信号信息的比特数基于标识信息所指示的小区的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数的变化而变化。
在另一种可选的实施方式中,第一上行资源为第一上行资源集合中的PRACH资源的情况,或者当第一上行资源为第一上行资源集合中的激活的QCL假设信息或空间相关信息关联的下行参考信号关联的PRACH资源的情况,第一指示信息无法告知网络设备发生链路失败的小区的标识信息。
因此,第二指示信息中标识信息的比特数与终端设备连接的小区的总数有关;若第二指示信息的负载的大小为固定值,则第二指示信息中第三参考信号信息的比特数是根据终端设备所有小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数最多的候选参考信号资源集合相关,第四参考信号信息的比特数是根据终端设备所有小区的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数最多的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合相关;若第二指示信息的负载的大小为非固定值,则第二指示信息中第三参考信号信息的比特数是根据标识信息 所指示的小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数的变化而变化,第四参考信号信息的比特数是根据标识信息所指示的小区的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数的变化而变化。
在又一种可选的实施方式中,当第一上行资源为第一上行资源集合中的激活的QCL或空间相关信息关联的下行参考信号关联的PRACH资源,且用于发送所述第一小区的链路失败恢复请求信息的上行资源为第一上行资源集合中非激活的QCL信息或空间相关信息关联的参考信号所关联的PRACH资源的情况;或者第一上行资源为第二上行资源集合中的PRACH资源的情况,由于第一指示信息能够指示是N个第二小区中的小区发生了链路失败,此时,第二指示信息中标识信息的比特数与N相关,比如为
Figure PCTCN2019099468-appb-000006
相应的,若第二指示信息的负载的大小为固定值,则第二指示信息中第三参考信号信息的比特数是根据N个第二小区中每个小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数最多的候选参考信号资源集合相关,第四参考信号信息的比特数是根据N个第二小区中每个小区的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数最多的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合相关;若第二指示信息的负载的大小为非固定值,则第二指示信息中第三参考信号信息的比特数是根据标识信息所指示的第二小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数的变化而变化,第四参考信号信息的比特数是根据标识信息所指示的第二小区的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数的变化而变化。
在又一种可选的实施方式中,当N等于所述M时,第一上行资源为所述第二上行资源集合中所述第i个小区对应的PRACH资源,即第一指示信息还用于指示所述第i个小区的标识信息,第二指示信息就不必包含第i个小区的标识信息,只需包含第三参考信号信息和/或第四参考信号信息。其中,第一指示信息还用于指示所述第i个小区的标识信息,也就是说,该实施方式中,由于第二上行资源集合中PRACH资源与每个第二小区之间的关联关系,使得网络设备可以根据接收该第一指示信息的PRACH资源来确定小区的标识信息,而不是第一指示信息包含小区的标识信息。
因此,若第二指示信息的负载大小为固定值,则第三参考信号信息的比特数与N个第二小区中每个小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数最多的候选参考信号资源集合相关,第四参考信号信息的比特数与N个第二小区中每个小区的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数最多的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合相关;若该第二指示信息的负载大小为非固定值,则第三参考信号信息的比特数与第i个小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号的个数相关,第四参考信号信息的比特数与第i个小区的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号的个数相关。
在又一种可选的实施方式中,当第一上行资源为第二上行资源集合中所述第i个小区所属第二小区组对应的PRACH资源的情况,即第一指示信息还用于指示所述第i个小区所属第二小区组的标识信息,第二指示信息中标识信息可以为第i个小区在该第二小区组的组内标识信息。当第二指示信息的负载的大小为固定值时,该标识信息的比特数根据P个第二小区组中包含第二小区的个数最多的第二小区组来确定,第三参考信号信息的比特数与该第i个小区所属第二小区组对应的多个候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数最多的候选参考信号资源集合相关,第四参考信号信息的比特数与该第i个小区所属第二小 区组对应的多个波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数最多的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合相关。当第二指示信息的负载的大小为非固定值时,该标识信息的比特数根据所述第i个小区所属第二小区组包含的第二小区的个数来确定,第三参考信号信息的比特数与该第i个小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数相关,即与标识信息指示的小区的候选参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数相关;第四参考信号信息的比特数与该第i个小区的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数相关,即与标识信息指示的小区的波束失败检测参考信号资源集合中下行参考信号个数相关。
