It should be understood that the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably herein. The term "and/or" in this article is just an association relationship that describes an associated object, which means that there can be three kinds of relationships, for example, A and/or B, which can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, exist alone B these three cases. In addition, the character "/" in this article generally indicates that the related objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

The self-interference signals in the terminal equipment can be roughly divided into the following three categories according to their sources.

The first type of self-interfering signal may be harmonic or intermodulation interference generated by one or several transmitted signals of the communication system. For example, it may be harmonic or intermodulation interference generated by one or several transmitted signals of a cellular communication system.

The second type of self-interference signal comes from the interference between different wireless communication modules inside the mobile phone, for example, the interference between WiFi signals and cellular signals.

The third type of self-interference signal mainly originates from the electromagnetic waves generated by some active electronic devices inside the terminal. For example, the electromagnetic waves generated by devices such as the display screen of the terminal device, the memory reading operation of the terminal device, the camera and the electric motor of the terminal device. The frequency range of the electromagnetic wave may be tens of MHz to hundreds of MHz. When its harmonic falls on the cellular frequency band or its harmonic intermodulates with the transmitted signal of the cellular frequency band, the electromagnetic wave will receive the cellular frequency band Interference.

It should be understood that the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the type of self-interference of the terminal device. That is to say, when the terminal device in the embodiment of the present application performs self-interference cancellation, it may be performed on at least one of the first-type self-interference signal, the second-type self-interference signal, and the third-type self-interference signal. eliminate.

Specifically, taking the first type of self-interference signal as an example. When the terminal device works on two or more carriers in different frequency bands at the same time, the uplink signals of these carriers may interfere with the downlink received signals of some carriers. Assuming that carrier F1 works in the low frequency band and carrier F2 works in the high frequency band, there may be the following three different types of mutual interference.

First, the frequency of a certain order intermodulation signal (IM) of the uplink carrier of F1 and the uplink carrier of F2 overlaps or partially overlaps with the frequency of the downlink signal of a carrier F3, then carriers F1 and F2 constitute F3 interference. Here F3 may be one of the carriers F1 or F2, or another carrier different from F1 and F2 (in this case, the terminal may work on more than two carriers at the same time).

An example is that a UE is configured with LTE carrier and NR carrier (3400-3800MHz) of Band 1 and Band 7 at the same time, if the UL of band 7 and the UL of NR are transmitted at the same time, the resulting 5th order intermodulation effect will affect band 1. DL receiver sensitivity.

Secondly, the frequency multiplication of the uplink carrier of F1 overlaps or partially overlaps with the frequency of the downlink signal of F2, then the carrier F1 constitutes harmonic interference to F2. For example, the uplink carrier range of LTE Band 3 is 1710-1785MHz, and its 2nd order harmonic range is 3420-3570MHz. If a terminal device simultaneously performs LTE uplink transmission on band 3 and DL reception on the NR band 3400-3800 MHz, the second-order harmonics may interfere with the sensitivity of NR's DL receiver.

Third, the frequency multiplier of F1's downlink carrier overlaps or partially overlaps with F2's uplink signal frequency (and its adjacent frequencies), then carrier F2 constitutes harmonic intermodulation interference to F1. For example, the downlink carrier range of LTE Band 3 is 1805-1880MHz, and its 2nd order harmonic range is 3610-3760MHz. If a terminal device simultaneously performs LTE downlink reception on band 3 and uplink transmission on the NR band 3400-3800 MHz, the second-order harmonic intermodulation of NR may interfere with the sensitivity of the LTE DL receiver.

Since the above-mentioned interference is generated inside the terminal device, if the terminal device can eliminate the above-mentioned self-interference, the performance of the terminal and the system will be greatly improved.

The basic principle of self-interference cancellation on the terminal device side is to couple or sample a part of the transmitted signal as a reference signal, and then apply corresponding gain, delay and phase adjustments to the reference signal to construct the same power as the actual self-interference signal and opposite phase Of the cancellation signal, and finally achieve destructive interference cancellation of the self-interference signal at the receiving end. The above process is essentially to implement a self-interference reconstruction model inside the terminal equipment.

The self-interference cancellation technology on the terminal device side can be divided into digital and analog. For the simulated self-interference cancellation technology, the radio frequency signal transmitted from the terminal side is directly sampled, the interference signal is reconstructed by the sampling signal, and then eliminated at the radio frequency front end. For digital self-interference cancellation technology, the transmitted signal is sampled through the baseband signal, the interference signal is reconstructed on the baseband, and then eliminated on the baseband. Regardless of which technique is used, it depends on sampling the transmitted signal and then reconstructing it into an interference signal in some way to cancel the actual interference signal.

For LTE or NR signals, uplink signals usually have an advance in time than downlink signals, as shown in Figure 2. Specifically, in order to allow signals transmitted by different terminal devices to reach the network device at about the same time, the network device configures TA values for the different terminal devices, and the TA value represents the advance time of the uplink signal relative to the downlink signal. For example, for the LTE system, the TA value can be determined by the following formula (1):

TA=(N _TA +N _{TA offset} )×T _s (1)

Among them, T _s = 1/(15000×2048); N _TA is the time advance in units of Ts, and some network equipment is configured for the terminal equipment; N _{TA offset} has different values in different systems, for example, in the TDD system In, N _{TA offset} = 614, and in FDD system, N _{TA offset} = 0.

However, due to the introduction of TA, the transmission and reception signals are not synchronized in time on the terminal device side. For example, as shown in Figure 2, the difference in time between the upstream and downstream signals. In practice, this difference exists between the uplink and downlink signals between different frequency bands.

On the terminal device side, due to the introduction of TA as shown in FIG. 2, the asynchronization of the uplink and downlink times will cause one downlink symbol (symbol) to overlap with two uplink symbols. From the perspective of self-interference, one downlink symbol is subject to interference from two uplink symbols in time sequence. For example, as shown in Fig. 3, the downstream symbol i is interfered by the upstream symbols j and j+1. For an analog or digital self-interference cancellation algorithm, in order to eliminate the interference received by a downlink symbol i, two uplink interference symbols, upstream symbols j and j+1, are sampled before and after, and then two interference signals are reconstructed. Greatly increased the complexity of self-interference cancellation. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt an appropriate method to adjust the time difference between the uplink and downlink symbols to simplify the complexity of the self-interference cancellation algorithm.

Therefore, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for self-interference cancellation, which can be used by a terminal device to synchronize uplink symbols and downlink symbols, thereby simplifying the complexity of the self-interference cancellation algorithm.

FIG. 4 shows a schematic flowchart of a method 200 for self-interference cancellation according to an embodiment of the present application. The method 200 may be executed by a terminal device, for example, any terminal device shown in FIG. 1. Specifically, the uplink signal carried by the first uplink symbol of the terminal device and the downlink signal carried by the first downlink symbol may cause self-interference. The first uplink symbol may be any uplink symbol, and the first downlink symbol may also be Any downstream symbol. As shown in FIG. 4, the method 200 includes: S210. The terminal device sends time information to the network device, where the time information includes a first duration, where the first duration indicates that the start time of the first uplink symbol is greater than that of the first The start time of the downlink symbol is earlier than the first duration.

It should be understood that the duration of the uplink symbol and the duration of the downlink symbol in the embodiment of the present application are equal, and the duration of multiple uplink symbols is also equal, and the duration of multiple downlink symbols is also equal. For example, in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 3, the duration of each uplink symbol and downlink symbol is represented as T here.

In the embodiment of the present application, since the network device configures the TA value for the terminal device, the uplink signal and the downlink signal are not synchronized, and for an uplink symbol and a downlink symbol that may cause self-interference, the starting time of the two There will be a time difference between them, and the terminal device may send time information to the network device, and the time information is used to indicate the time difference.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device determines one uplink symbol and one downlink symbol that generate self-interference, that is, the first uplink symbol and the first downlink symbol, where the first uplink symbol may be any uplink symbol, corresponding to the downlink The symbol is a downstream symbol that generates self-interference with the first upstream symbol.

In S210, the time information sent by the terminal device to the network device includes a first duration, and the first duration refers to that the start time of the first uplink symbol is earlier than the start time of the first downlink symbol, so , For selecting any one of the uplink symbols as the first uplink symbol, if the first uplink symbol corresponds to two downlink symbols causing self-interference, the downlink symbol whose start time is later than the first uplink symbol is selected as the first downlink symbol .

As shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed here that the first uplink symbol is selected as the uplink symbol j+1 in FIG. 3. Correspondingly, both the downlink symbols i and i+1 in FIG. 3 generate self-interference with the uplink symbol j+1, Here, the downlink symbol whose starting time is later than the uplink symbol j+1 is selected as the first downlink symbol, that is, the downlink symbol i+1 bit is the first downlink symbol. Or, if the first uplink symbol is selected as the uplink symbol j in FIG. 3, correspondingly, the first downlink symbol is the downlink symbol i in FIG. 3; if the first uplink symbol is selected as the uplink symbol j+2 in FIG. Correspondingly, the first downlink symbol is the downlink symbol i+2 in FIG. 3.

For ease of explanation, the uplink symbol j in FIG. 3 is used as the first uplink symbol, and the downlink symbol i is used as the first downlink symbol as an example for illustration. The difference T _{1 between} the starting times of the two is the first duration.

It should be understood that the first duration in the embodiment of the present application is less than or equal to the duration T of the uplink symbol or the downlink symbol.

Optionally, the time information sent by the terminal device to the network device may further include first position sub-information and/or second position sub-information, where the first position sub-information indicates the position of the first uplink symbol in the time domain , The second position sub-information indicates the position of the first downlink symbol in the time domain.

Specifically, the terminal device may determine the number of the time slot where the first uplink symbol is located, and the position or number of the first uplink symbol in the time slot. Here, the time slot is referred to as an uplink time slot, and the first position The sub-information may include the number of the uplink time slot where the first uplink symbol is located and/or the number of the first uplink symbol in the uplink time slot. Similarly, the terminal device may also correspondingly determine the number of the time slot in which the first downlink symbol is located, and the position or number of the first downlink symbol in the time slot. Here, this time slot is called a downlink time slot, then The second location sub-information may include the number of the downlink time slot where the first downlink symbol is located and/or the number of the first downlink symbol in the downlink time slot, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

In the embodiment of the present application, after the terminal device sends time information to the network device, the method 200 may further include: the terminal device receives indication information sent by the network device, and the indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to adjust and send the The starting moment of the first uplink symbol.

It should be understood that the indication information may be used to indicate the adjustment duration, so that the terminal device adjusts the start time of the first uplink symbol according to the adjustment duration, that is, advances or delays the start time of the first uplink symbol; or, The indication information may also be used to indicate a TA value, where the TA value is the updated TA value configured by the network device for the terminal device, and the starting time of the first uplink symbol is adjusted by adjusting the TA value.

Optionally, as an embodiment, the indication information may be used to indicate an adjustment duration, which is less than the duration of the first uplink symbol. Specifically, the network device acquires the first duration sent by the terminal device; determines the adjustment duration based on the first duration, where the adjustment duration is less than or equal to the first duration; the terminal device acquires the adjustment duration, and based on the adjustment duration, Adjust the start time of the first uplink symbol transmission.

Specifically, the terminal device may postpone the start time of the first uplink symbol according to the adjustment duration, that is, send the first uplink symbol postponed, so that after the delayed transmission, the start time of the first uplink symbol and the first The time difference between the starting moments of a downlink symbol is reduced. Wherein, the terminal device determines the adjustment duration, and at the same time, it can also determine to delay sending the first uplink symbol by itself, or the network device instructs the terminal device to delay sending the first uplink symbol through the sent indication information.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the first uplink symbol is the uplink symbol j, and the first downlink symbol is the downlink symbol i. Before the adjustment, that is, in FIG. 3, the start time of the uplink symbol j and the downlink symbol The difference between the starting moments of i is the first duration; assuming that the adjustment duration is equal to the first duration T ₁ , that is, the terminal device delays sending the uplink symbol j after the delay is equal to the first duration T ₁ , then after the delayed transmission, that is As shown in FIG. 5, there is no time difference between the start time of the uplink symbol j and the start time of the downlink symbol i, that is, the uplink symbol j is aligned with the downlink symbol i. In this way, when performing self-interference cancellation, the downlink symbol i is only interfered by the uplink symbol j. For analog or digital self-interference cancellation algorithms, in order to eliminate the interference received by a downlink symbol i, only the uplink symbol j needs to be sampled, which reduces the complexity of self-interference cancellation.

It should be understood that the terminal device may adjust the start time of the first uplink symbol by adjusting the start time of the time slot in which the first uplink symbol is located. Specifically, if the network device configures a TA value for the terminal device, the TA value is the difference between the start time of the time slot where the first uplink symbol is located and the start time of the time slot where the lower row symbol is located, that is The TA value results in a time difference of a first duration between the start time of the first uplink symbol and the start time of the first downlink symbol, then the terminal device may subtract the value TA' after adjusting the TA for the TA value As the adjusted TA value, and according to the adjusted TA value TA′, the time slot in which the first uplink symbol is located is sent, so that the delayed time of the adjusted first uplink symbol is equal to the adjusted duration Δ.

Optionally, the terminal device may also advance the start time of the first uplink symbol according to the adjustment duration, that is, send the first uplink symbol in advance, so that after the early transmission, the end time of the first uplink symbol and the first downlink symbol The time difference between the start times of the symbols decreases, that is, the time difference between the start time of the next uplink symbol adjacent to the first uplink symbol and the start time of the first downlink symbol decreases. Wherein, the terminal device determines the adjustment duration, and at the same time, can also determine to send the first uplink symbol in advance by itself, or the network device instructs the terminal device to send the first uplink symbol in advance through the sent indication information.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the first uplink symbol is the uplink symbol j, and the first downlink symbol is the downlink symbol i. Before the adjustment, that is, in FIG. 3, the start time of the uplink symbol j and the downlink symbol The difference between the starting moments of i is the first duration; assuming that the adjustment duration is equal to the first duration and the terminal device sends the uplink symbol j in advance, then the duration of the advance transmission is equal to the duration T of the first uplink symbol and the first duration the difference T _1, then after transmitting in advance, i.e., as shown in FIG. 6, the difference does not exist between the start time and end time of the uplink symbol j downlink symbol i, i.e., the start time of uplink symbols and downlink j + 1 The beginning of the symbol i is aligned. In this way, when performing self-interference cancellation, the downlink symbol i is only interfered by the uplink symbol j+1. For analog or digital self-interference cancellation algorithms, in order to eliminate the interference received by a downlink symbol i, only the uplink symbol j+1 needs to be sampled, which reduces the complexity of self-interference cancellation.

Similarly, the terminal device may also adjust the start time of the first uplink symbol by adjusting the start time of the time slot where the first uplink symbol is located. Specifically, if the network device configures a TA value for the terminal device, the TA value is the difference between the start time of the time slot where the first uplink symbol is located and the start time of the time slot where the lower row symbol is located, that is The TA value results in a time difference of a first duration between the start time of the first uplink symbol and the start time of the first downlink symbol, then the terminal device may add the TA value to the uplink symbol duration T and then subtract the adjustment The value TA′ after the duration Δ is taken as the adjusted TA value, that is, TA′=TA+T-Δ shown in FIG. 6, and the time slot where the first uplink symbol is located is delayed according to the adjusted TA value TA′, so that The length of time before the start time of the adjusted first uplink symbol is equal to the difference between the uplink symbol duration T and the adjusted duration Δ.

The above embodiments of FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 take the adjustment duration equal to the first duration as an example for description, but because the adjustment of the uplink TA involves uplink synchronization, the uplink synchronization often involves multiple uplink terminal devices, and sometimes involves Due to the uplink synchronization process to multiple cells, the network device may not agree to adjust according to the size of the first duration reported by the terminal device. Therefore, the network device may set the adjustment duration to be slightly smaller than the first duration, so that the adjustment duration is as small as possible from the first duration.

Specifically, if the adjustment duration is equal to the first duration, the network device may send indication information to the terminal device to include the first duration, or may also include instructing the terminal device to send the uplink symbol in advance or later; or, the indication The information may not include the first duration, that is, the indication information is only used to instruct the terminal device to send the uplink symbol in advance or later. At this time, the indication information indicates that the adjustment duration is equal to the first duration. If the adjustment duration is less than the first duration, the indication information sent by the network device to the terminal device includes the adjustment duration, or it may also include instructions to the terminal device to send the uplink symbol earlier or later.

Optionally, as an embodiment, the indication information may also be used to indicate a TA value, and the TA value is determined by the network device according to the first duration. Specifically, the terminal device obtains the TA value configured by the network device, determines the first duration between the first uplink symbol and the first downlink symbol according to the TA value, and sends the first duration to the network device. The TA value is updated for a period of time; the terminal device receives the instruction information sent by the network device, obtains the updated TA value according to the instruction information, and sends the first uplink symbol according to the updated TA value. It can also be said that according to the update The time slot where the first uplink symbol is sent after the last TA value is not limited to this embodiment of the present application.

Specifically, in order to facilitate the distinction between the above two TA values, another TA value used by the terminal device to determine the first duration is referred to as the original TA value; the TA value indicated by the indication information sent by the network device is referred to as the updated TA value. Value, the updated TA value is determined by the network device according to the first duration.

Optionally, the network device may increase or decrease the original TA value according to the first duration, and then determine the updated TA value.

An embodiment is similar to the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 5, the network device can reduce the size of the original TA value, that is, the updated TA value is less than the original TA value, and the updated TA value TA′ satisfies TA′=TA-Δ, where , TA represents the original TA value, and Δ represents the adjustment duration related to the first duration, which is smaller than the duration T of the first uplink symbol. Assuming that the adjustment duration is equal to the first duration, the terminal device adjusts according to the updated TA value, and the adjusted start time of the first uplink symbol coincides with the start time of the first downlink symbol.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the first uplink symbol is the uplink symbol j, and the first downlink symbol is the downlink symbol i. Before adjustment, that is, in FIG. 3, according to the original TA value, the terminal device can determine the uplink The difference between the start time of symbol j and the start time of downlink symbol i is the first duration; assuming that the adjustment duration is equal to the first duration T ₁ and the updated TA value is less than the original TA value, the terminal device adjusts according to the updated TA value After that, as shown in FIG. 5, there is no time difference between the start time of the uplink symbol j and the start time of the downlink symbol i, that is, the uplink symbol j is aligned with the downlink symbol i. In this way, when performing self-interference cancellation, the downlink symbol i is only interfered by the uplink symbol j. For analog or digital self-interference cancellation algorithms, in order to eliminate the interference received by a downlink symbol i, only the uplink symbol j needs to be sampled, which reduces the complexity of self-interference cancellation.

Another embodiment is similar to the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 6, the network device may increase the original TA value, that is, the updated TA value may be greater than the original TA value, and the updated TA value TA' satisfies TA'=TA+T -Δ, where TA also represents the original TA value, and Δ also represents the adjustment duration related to the first duration, which is less than the duration T of the first uplink symbol. Assuming that the adjustment duration is equal to the first duration, the terminal device adjusts according to the updated TA value, and the adjusted end time of the first uplink symbol coincides with the start time of the first downlink symbol.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the first uplink symbol is the uplink symbol j, and the first downlink symbol is the downlink symbol i. Before the adjustment, that is, in FIG. 3, the start time of the uplink symbol j and the downlink symbol The difference between the starting moments of i is the first duration; assuming that the adjustment duration is equal to the first duration T ₁ and the updated TA value is greater than the original TA value, after the terminal device adjusts according to the updated TA value, as shown in FIG. 6, There is no time difference between the end time of the uplink symbol j and the start time of the downlink symbol i, that is, the start time of the uplink symbol j+1 is aligned with the start time of the downlink symbol i. In this way, when performing self-interference cancellation, the downlink symbol i is only interfered by the uplink symbol j+1. For analog or digital self-interference cancellation algorithms, in order to eliminate the interference received by a downlink symbol i, only the uplink symbol j+1 needs to be sampled, which reduces the complexity of self-interference cancellation.

It should be understood that, in the above two embodiments, the adjustment duration may be equal to the first duration as an example. However, because the adjustment of the uplink TA involves uplink synchronization, the uplink synchronization often involves multiple uplink terminal devices, and sometimes The uplink synchronization process of multiple cells is involved, so the network device may not agree to adjust the TA value according to the size of the first time duration reported by the terminal device. Therefore, when determining the updated TA value, the network device may set the adjustment duration to be slightly smaller than the first duration, so that the adjustment duration is as small as possible from the first duration.

It should be understood that configuring the TA value (including either the original TA value or the updated TA value) of the terminal device by the network device in this document may include: the network device directly configuring the specific TA value for the terminal device; or may also indicate the network The device configures the terminal device with relevant parameters for calculating the TA value, and the terminal device can calculate the TA value according to the formula. For example, the network device configures the value of N _TA in formula (1) for the terminal device, and the terminal device calculates the TA value according to formula (1). The embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

In the embodiment of the present application, after adjusting the starting time of the first uplink symbol, the terminal device may sample and reconstruct the interference signal according to the adjusted positions of the first uplink symbol and the first downlink symbol, and then perform self-interference cancellation .

Specifically, if the start time of the first uplink symbol is delayed, and the start time of the delayed first uplink symbol and the start time of the first downlink symbol substantially coincide, the terminal device responds to the first uplink symbol The symbol is sampled; according to the sampling result, the interference signal is reconstructed; and according to the reconstructed interference signal, the uplink signal carried by the first uplink symbol and the downlink signal carried by the first downlink symbol are subjected to self-interference cancellation.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the first uplink symbol is the uplink symbol j, and the first downlink symbol is the downlink symbol i, and the delay time of the start time of the uplink symbol j is equal to the adjustment duration, so that the start of the uplink symbol j The time basically coincides with the start time of the downlink symbol i. When self-interference cancellation is performed, the downlink symbol i is only interfered by the uplink symbol j. For analog or digital self-interference cancellation algorithms, in order to eliminate the interference received by a downlink symbol i, only the uplink symbol j needs to be sampled, which reduces the complexity of self-interference cancellation.

If the start time of the first uplink symbol advances, the end time of the first uplink symbol after the advance basically coincides with the start time of the first downlink symbol, that is, the next uplink symbol adjacent to the first uplink symbol The start time and the start time of the first downlink symbol basically coincide, then the terminal device samples the next uplink symbol of the first uplink symbol, the next uplink symbol is located after the first uplink symbol and is The uplink symbol adjacent to the first uplink symbol; according to the sampling result, reconstruct the interference signal; based on the reconstructed interference signal, perform self-interference cancellation on the uplink signal carried by the next uplink symbol and the downlink signal carried by the first downlink symbol.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the first uplink symbol is the uplink symbol j, the first downlink symbol is the downlink symbol i, and the start time of the start timing of the uplink symbol j is equal to the difference between the first uplink symbol duration T and the adjusted duration , So that the end time of the uplink symbol j basically coincides with the start time of the downlink symbol i, then when self-interference cancellation is performed, the downlink symbol i is only interfered by the uplink symbol j+1. For analog or digital self-interference cancellation algorithms, in order to eliminate the interference received by a downlink symbol i, only the uplink symbol j+1 needs to be sampled, which also reduces the complexity of self-interference cancellation.

Therefore, in the method for self-interference cancellation according to an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device determines the time difference between the start time of the uplink symbol and the downlink symbol that generate self-interference, and sends the time difference to the network device, so that the network device can indicate the The terminal device adjusts the start position of the uplink symbol so that after the adjustment, the start time or end time of the uplink symbol coincides with the start time of the downlink symbol as much as possible, so as to achieve the effect of time synchronization, thus self-interference for analog or digital In terms of the cancellation algorithm, in order to eliminate the interference received by a downlink symbol, only one uplink symbol needs to be sampled, which reduces the complexity of self-interference cancellation.
