Optionally, the communication system 100 may also include other network entities such as a network controller and a mobility management entity, which are not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

The term "and/or" in this article is only an association relationship describing associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and/or B, which can mean: A alone exists, A and B exist at the same time, exist alone B these three situations. In addition, the character "/" in this text generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

The method in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to communication in unlicensed spectrum, and can also be used in communication in licensed spectrum.

Unlicensed spectrum is the spectrum that can be used for radio equipment communication divided by the country and region. This spectrum can be considered as a shared spectrum, that is, the communication equipment in different communication systems can meet the regulatory requirements set by the country or region on the spectrum. Using this spectrum, it is not necessary to apply for a proprietary spectrum authorization from the government. In order to allow various communication systems that use unlicensed spectrum for wireless communication to coexist friendly on this spectrum, communication devices can follow the principle of Listen Before Talk (LBT) when communicating on unlicensed spectrum, that is, Before the communication device transmits signals on the channels of the unlicensed spectrum, it needs to perform channel listening (or called channel detection) first. Only when the channel detection result is that the channel is idle, the communication device can transmit signals; if the communication device is in If the result of channel sensing on the unlicensed spectrum is that the channel is busy, signal transmission cannot be performed. Optionally, the bandwidth of the LBT is 20 MHz, or an integer multiple of 20 MHz. Maximum Channel Occupancy Time (MCOT) can refer to the maximum length of time allowed to use unlicensed spectrum channels for signal transmission after successful LBT. Different channel access schemes have different MCOTs. The maximum value of MCOT may be 10 ms, for example. It should be understood that the MCOT is the time occupied by signal transmission. Channel Occupancy Time (Channel Occupancy Time, COT) may refer to the length of time that a channel of an unlicensed spectrum is used for signal transmission after a successful LBT, and the signal occupation of the channel may be discontinuous within this time length. Wherein, one COT may optionally not exceed 20 ms at the longest, and the length of time occupied by signal transmission in the COT does not exceed MCOT.

Common channels and signals in the NR system (such as synchronization signals and broadcast channels) can cover the entire cell by means of multi-beam scanning, which is convenient for UEs in the cell to receive. The multi-beam transmission of synchronization signal (SS, synchronization signal) and physical broadcast channel (Physical Broadcasting Channel, PBCH) can be done by defining SS/PBCH (SSB) burst set (the cluster set in the embodiment of this application can also be It is called cluster, that is, SS/PBCH cluster can be called SSB cluster).

Among them, an SS/PBCH burst set may include one or more synchronization signal blocks (SS/PBCH block, SSB). One SSB is used to carry the synchronization signal and broadcast channel of one beam. Therefore, the number of SSBs that can be included in an SS burst set can be equal to the SSB beams sent by the cell. The maximum number L of SSB included in an SS burst set may be related to the frequency band of the system.

For example, for a frequency band within 3 GHz, L is equal to 4; for a frequency band between 3 GHz and 6 GHz, L is equal to 8; for a frequency band between 6 GHz and 52.6, L is equal to 64.

Optionally, one SSB may contain one symbol of primary synchronization signal (Primary synchronization signal, PSS), one symbol (Secondary synchronization signal, SSS), and two symbol NR-PBCH (New Radio Access Technology-Physical broadcast channel) , Physical broadcast channel), for example, as shown in Figure 2. Among them, the time-frequency resources occupied by the PBCH may optionally include a demodulation reference signal (Demodulation Reference Signal, DMRS), which is used for demodulation of the PBCH.

Optionally, all SSBs in the SS/PBCH burst set can be sent within a certain time window (for example, 5ms), and sent repeatedly in a certain period, which can be performed by the high-level parameter SSB-timing (SSB-timing) Configuration, for example, the period may include 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, 160ms, etc.

Fig. 3 shows the distribution pattern of SSB under different subcarrier space (SCS) intervals. Taking 15kHz subcarrier spacing, L=4 as an example, one slot contains 14 symbols, which can carry two SSBs. 4 SSBs are distributed in the first two time slots in the 5ms time window.

Among them, L is the largest number of SSBs, and the actual number of SSBs sent can be less than L. The position of the actually sent SSB is notified to the terminal device through system information in the form of bit mapping.

The number and location of the actually sent SSB are determined by the base station. For example, in the frequency band below 6 GHz of the licensed spectrum, there are at most 8 SSBs included in the SSB burst, and the value of the SSB index is 0-7. The base station informs the UE of the specific SSB sending position through 8-bit bit mapping. The 8-bit bit mapping respectively corresponds to SSB index=0-7, and each bit represents whether an SSB is sent or not, for the UE to perform rate matching. As shown in Figure 4, in the SSB pattern, the indexes of the actually sent SSB are 0, 2, 4, 6, and the 8-bit bit mapping carried in the system information is "10101010".

The SSB index can optionally be used for frame synchronization, and can also be used for the terminal device to obtain the QCL relationship of the SSB. The indexes of the SSBs received at different times are the same, and it can be considered that there is a QCL relationship between them.

Among them, when two reference signals (such as SSB) are QCL, it can be considered that the large-scale parameters (such as Doppler delay, average delay, spatial reception parameters, etc.) of the two reference signals can be inferred from each other. Or it can be considered similar. During the measurement, the UE can filter the SSB with the QCL relationship as the measurement result of the beam level.

In the NR-U system, for example, for a primary cell (Pcell), a network device can send a Discovery Reference Signal (DRS) signal for access, measurement, etc. The DRS can include at least SSB. Optionally, the DRS may include SSB, PDCCH corresponding to SIB1, a physical downlink shared channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, PDSCH) carrying SIB1, and may also include a paging cell. Similar to the SSB, the DRS signal can also be sent according to a block, and the signals in the block have a (Quasi Co-Loacted, QCL) relationship. It should be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the DRS may also include other types of information, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

Taking into account the uncertainty of obtaining the channel usage rights on the unlicensed spectrum, in the SSB transmission process, due to the possibility of LBT failure, the SSB may not be successfully transmitted at a predetermined time. The SSB transmission opportunity can be increased. Within a DRS transmission window (also referred to as an SSB transmission window), the number Y of candidate positions of the DRS configured by the network device is greater than the number X of the DRS actually sent by the network device. That is to say, for each DRS transmission window, the network device may determine to use X available candidate positions among the Y candidate positions to transmit the DRS according to the detection result of the LBT in the DRS transmission window.

Assuming that the maximum number of SSB transmissions is 8, there are Y=64 candidate transmission positions in a time window (also called a transmission window or SSB transmission period). As shown in Figure 5, when the LBT performed before the transmission time of SSB index 0 fails, channel listening is continued, and the LBT performed before SSB index 4 is successful, the remaining SSB is sent from SSB index 4, and After the SSB index 7 is sent, the SSB index 0-3 that was not sent successfully before is sent. According to the moment when the LBT is successful, the actual transmission time of the SSB may be at the initial or alternative transmission time. As shown in Figure 5, it is just a method to increase the sending opportunity, and there are other methods, which will not be repeated here.

For the SSB transmission mode defined in New Radio-unlicensed (NR-U) of the unlicensed carrier, since the UE needs to obtain frame synchronization through the SSB received at the candidate transmission position, it is necessary to define an extended SSB for the candidate transmission position Index (extended SSB index). For example, taking L=8 and Y=20 as an example, since the maximum 8 SSBs may be sent in 20 candidate positions, the index carried by the SSB needs to be expanded from 0 to Y-1, so that the terminal device can obtain the received SSB Position to further obtain frame synchronization.

In addition, in NR, QCL information can also be obtained through the SSB index. In NR-U, since the extended SSB index is adopted, one method of obtaining the QCL information of the SSB may be to mod L the extended SSB index, and the SSB corresponding to the extended SSB index with the same result has a QCL relationship. As shown in Figure 6, SSBs with extended SSB indexes of 0, 8, 16, 24 have a QCL relationship.

Under this assumption, for the SSB of a certain beam (wherein the SSB with the same beam has a QCL relationship), its position on the Y candidate transmission positions is also determined. The problem caused by this is that the QCL attribute of the SSB actually sent by the network device has a binding relationship with the candidate sending location, and the SSB with a certain QCL relationship cannot be sent anywhere in the candidate sending location. Since the channel usage on the unlicensed spectrum is based on preemption, the restriction on the transmission time of the SSB will put higher requirements on the channel occupation and reduce the usage efficiency of the occupied channel.

As shown in Figure 7, L=8, Y=20, when the SSB index corresponding to the QCL of the SSB actually sent by the network device is 4, 5, 6, 7, then their positions in the Y candidates are 12, 13, 14,15. If the network device successfully performs LBT, it must wait until the extended SSB index is 12 to start sending, resulting in waste of channel occupation at positions where the extended SSB index is 8, 9, 10, and 11.

For the above problem, LBT can be started before the candidate sending position with an SSB index of 12 is expanded. If the LBT is successful, the SSB can be sent after the expanded SSB index is 12, for example, as shown in FIG. 8. The disadvantage of this method is that it limits the time for the network device to perform LBT and reduces the chance that the network device can perform LBT attempts within the DRS window.

For this reason, the embodiments of the present application provide the following solutions, which can avoid the waste of channels and increase the chances of network equipment to try LBT in the scenario of unlicensed spectrum.

FIG. 9 is a schematic flowchart of a wireless communication method 200 according to an embodiment of the present application. The method 200 includes at least part of the following content. The method in the embodiments of the present application can be used in licensed spectrum and can also be used in unlicensed spectrum.

In 210, the network device sends instruction information to the terminal device, where the instruction information indicates the SSB actually transmitted in the SSB cluster.

Wherein, the SSB cluster mentioned in the embodiment of the present application may refer to the SSB that can be transmitted at most in a single SSB transmission period (which may be referred to as an SSB transmission window or a time window). The maximum number of SSBs included in an SSB cluster can be L mentioned above.

Optionally, the indication information in the embodiment of the present application may be carried in system information.

Specifically, the indication information may be carried in a system information block (System Information Block, SIB) 1 or a master information block (Master Information Block, MIB).

Among them, the system information carrying the indication information in the embodiment of the present application may belong to the DRS to which the SSB belongs, or may not belong to the DRS at the time.

When the indication information is carried in the system information, the terminal device can be in a connected state or in an idle state.

Optionally, when the indication information is carried in the system information, the content of the indication information carried in the system information for a period of time may be unchanged.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the system information is a system information block 1SIB1 or a master information block MIB.

Among them, when the indication information is carried by SIB1, it can be as follows:

ssb-PositionsInBurst SEQUENCE{

inOneGroup BIT STRING(SIZE(8)),

groupPresence BIT STRING(SIZE(8))OPTIONAL

The above method indicates that a maximum of 64 SSBs are divided into 8 groups at most. The groupPresence indicates which groups have actually transmitted SSBs. In the 8-bit bit mapping, 1 represents that there are actually transmitted SSBs in the group, and 0 represents not. inOneGroup indicates the location of the actually transmitted SSB in each group. In the 8-bit bitmap, 1 represents the SSB transmission at that location, and 0 represents no transmission.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, when the terminal device is in an idle state, the indication information is carried in the SIB1.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the indication information may be carried in RRC signaling.

Specifically, the SSB actually transmitted in the SSB cluster may be semi-statically configured, and may be carried in a message for semi-static configuration, for example, may be carried in RRC signaling.

When the indication information is carried in RRC signaling, the terminal device may be in a connected state.

When the indication information is carried in RRC signaling, the specific implementation can be as follows:

ssb-PositionsInBurst CHOICE{

shortBitmap BIT STRING(SIZE(4)),

mediumBitmap BIT STRING(SIZE(8)),

longBitmap BIT STRING(SIZE(64))

}

Among them, according to different frequency bands, the maximum number of SSBs L can be 4, 8, 64, and the corresponding short bitmap, medium bitmap, and long bitmap are used to indicate which The location of the actually transmitted SSB, 1 represents the SSB transmission at that location, and 0 represents no transmission.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the indication information is SSB position (ssb-PositionsInBurst) information in the SSB cluster. At this time, the indication information can be carried in SIB1 or RRC signaling.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the indication information indicates the actually transmitted SSB in the SSB cluster by means of bit mapping.

For example, the number of SSBs in the SSB cluster is 8, and the bits included in the indication information are 11001100, which means that the SSBs with indexes 0, 1, 4, and 5 in the 8 SSBs are actually transmitted.

Of course, in the embodiments of the present application, other methods may be used to indicate the actually transmitted SSB in the SSB cluster. For example, the indication information indicates the actually transmitted SSB in the SSB cluster by carrying the index of the actually transmitted SSB.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the network device may send the indication information in a variety of ways, for example, sending the indication information through SIB1 and also through RRC.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the indication information sent in different ways may have different purposes.

Specifically, the indication information (indicating the actual transmitted SSB) sent by the SIB1 can be used for the measurement of the idle state terminal device. After the terminal device establishes an RRC link with the network, the network device can send the indication information (indicating the actual transmission) through RRC signaling. The transmitted SSB) is used for the terminal equipment to perform rate matching.

For example, the ssb-PositionsInBurst obtained by the UE through SIB1 is mainly used for idle UE measurement. After the UE establishes an RRC link with the network, the base station can configure another ssb-PositionsInBurst through RRC signaling, which is mainly used for rate matching of the UE.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, if the terminal device uses the indication information indicated in a certain way to determine the QCL relationship, the network device may also use the indication information indicated in this way to determine the QCL relationship, so that the network device and the terminal The equipment has the same understanding of the QCL relationship of the SSB.

Optionally, the specific method used to determine the QCL relationship may be preset on the terminal device or configured by the network device, where the configuration information may be carried in the MIB or SIB.

For example, the network device can instruct the terminal device to obtain information about the number of SSBs actually transmitted according to the indication information in SIB1 or RRC signaling, so as to determine the QC relationship of the SSBs.

In 220, the network device determines the QCL relationship of the SSB to be sent according to the number of actually transmitted SSBs indicated in the indication information.

Specifically, the network device may modulo the number of the extended SSB index carried in the SSB to be sent to determine the QCL relationship of the SSB to be sent. Among them, the SSB corresponding to the extended SSB index with the same value obtained by modulating the number has a QCL relationship.

The extended SSB index carried by the SSB in the embodiment of this application represents the candidate transmission position occupied by the SSB, and the terminal device can perform frame synchronization according to the extended SSB index. Wherein, the extended SSB index may also be referred to as a candidate transmission position index.

In 230, the network device sends the SSB to the terminal device.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, before the terminal device sends the SSB, the LBT operation may be performed, and in the case of the success of the LBT, the SSB may be sent.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the sending position of the SSB to be sent is determined according to the QCL relationship of the SSB to be sent.

Wherein, when the network device performs the LBT operation, it can determine the start time of the LBT operation according to the extended SSB index corresponding to the SSB quasi-co-located with the SSB to be sent.

For example, as shown in Figure 10, there are 16 candidate sending positions for SSB, the extended SSB index ranges from 0 to 15, the number of SSBs included in the SSB cluster is 8, and the number of actual transmitted SSBs N is 4, then the extended SSB index 0 and extended SSB index 4 have a QCL relationship, that is, QCL.

In the case where the embodiment of this application is used for unlicensed spectrum, as shown in Figure 10, if the network device successfully performs LBT at time t0 (the starting point of the SSB transmission cycle), it can send the SSB at the position where the extended SSB index is 0, Then, in the subsequent SSB transmission cycle, the SSB can be sent at the candidate sending positions corresponding to the extended SSB index of 0, 4, 8, 12, so as to achieve quasi co-location with the SSB sent at t0.

In 240, the terminal device receives the instruction information sent by the network device, the instruction information indicates the SSB actually transmitted in the synchronization signal block SSB cluster.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, when the indication information is sent in multiple ways, if the actual transmitted SSB and/or the number indicated by the indication information sent in the multiple ways are different, the terminal device can The instruction information sent in one way determines the actual transmitted SSB and/or its quantity.

For example, in the case where the network device sends the indication information through both RRC and SIB1, if the number of actually transmitted SSB indicated by the indication information in RRC is different from the number of actually transmitted SSB indicated by the indication information in SIB1, then The actual number of transmitted SSBs indicated by the indication information in SIB1 shall prevail.

In 250, according to the actually transmitted SSB, the terminal device determines the number of actually transmitted SSB.

According to the actually transmitted SSB indicated by the indication information, the number N of the actually transmitted SSB can be obtained.

For example, when L=8, the bit mapping indicated by ssb-PositionsInBurst is 11001100, then the number of SSBs actually sent N=4 can be determined.

In 260, the terminal device receives the SSB sent by the network device.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may detect the SSB in a blind detection manner.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may perform SSB detection according to the QCL relationship of the SSB to be detected.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may perform SSB detection according to the actual transmitted SSB and/or the number thereof.

Optionally, in the embodiment of this application, the indication information mentioned in the embodiment of this application indicates the SSB actually transmitted in the SSB cluster, which can be used by the terminal device to determine (may roughly judge) which candidates are among the candidate transmission positions of the SSB SSB is sent at the sending location.

In 270, the terminal device determines the QCL relationship of the received SSB according to the actual number of SSBs transmitted.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may modulate the extended SSB index carried in the received SSB to the number to determine the quasi co-located QCL relationship of the received SSB. The SSB corresponding to the same modulus result has a QCL relationship.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, using the extended SSB index to modulate the actual transmitted SSB can be understood as grouping the candidate transmission positions of one SSB transmission period according to the number of actually transmitted SSBs, and each group of candidate transmission positions includes The number of candidate sending locations is equal to the number of SSBs actually transmitted. Each group of candidate sending positions can be used to transmit SSB. If a network device detects that a channel is idle at a certain group of candidate sending positions, it can use the group of candidate sending positions to send SSB.

In any SSB transmission period, a set of candidate transmission positions can be used to transmit the SSB, wherein at least one SSB transmitted in one SSB transmission period and at least one SSB transmitted in another SSB transmission period have a QCL relationship.

For example, as shown in Figure 10, there are 16 candidate sending positions for SSB, the extended SSB index is from 0 to 15, the number of SSBs included in the SSB cluster is 8, and the number of actual transmitted SSBs N is 4, it can be understood as The 16 candidate sending positions can be divided into 4 groups, the extended SSB index of group 1 is 0-3, the extended SSB index of group 2 is 4-7, the SSB index of group 3 is 8-11, and the SSB index of group 4 For 12-15. Each SSB transmission cycle can use a set of candidate transmission positions to send the SSB. In different SSB transmission cycles, the SSBs transmitted at the same position in the candidate transmission position group have a QCL relationship.

It should be understood that the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the above description. For example, the SSB may be sent in a manner similar to that shown in FIG.

For example, assuming that the maximum number of SSB candidate sending positions is 64, and the number of actually transmitted SSBs is 4, then the SSBs sent at the candidate sending positions with the extended SSB index of 0, 4, 8, 12...60 have a QCL relationship, similarly , SSBs sent at candidate sending positions with extended SSB indexes of 1, 5, 9, 13...61 have QCL relations, and SSBs sent at candidate sending positions with extended SSB indexes of 2, 6, 10, 14...62 have QCL relations , The SSB sent at the candidate sending positions with the extended SSB index of 3, 7, 11, 15...63 has a QCL relationship. If the network device detects that the channel is idle before the extended SSB index is 21, the extended SSB index can be 21, SSB is sent at positions 22, 23, and 24.

In the case where the QCL relationship of the SSB is determined according to the number of actually transmitted SSBs, the actual transmitted SSBs may be continuous.

In this case, the indication information may not actually indicate the actual SSB transmitted in the SSB cluster. This is because it is assumed that there are 64 SSB candidate transmission positions in an SSB transmission cycle and the number of actual transmitted SSBs is 4. The 64 candidate sending positions are divided into 16 groups, and each group can send the 4 SSBs. At this time, if the network device detects the SSB before each group of candidate sending positions, it can use the group of candidate sending positions to send the 4 SSBs. SSB: In the next SSB transmission period, if the SSB is detected before any group of candidate sending positions, 4 SSBs can be sent in this group, and the 4 SSBs have a QCL relationship with the SSB of the previous period.

Thus, in the case of using bit mapping to indicate the actually transmitted SSB, a fixed position bit may be used to indicate the actual transmitted SSB.

For example, assuming that the SSB cluster includes 8 SSBs and the number of actually transmitted SSBs is 4, the first 4 bits of the 8 bits can be used to indicate the actual transmitted SSBs. If the number of actually transmitted SSBs is 5, then The first 5 bits of the 8 bits can be used to indicate the actual transmitted SSB.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the terminal device performs filtering processing on the received SSB according to the QCL relationship of the received SSB.

Specifically, during the measurement, the terminal device can filter the SSB with the QCL relationship. As the measurement result of the beam level, the terminal device in the idle state can select the random access channel bound to the SSB of a certain beam according to the measurement result ( Random Access Channel, RACH) resource transmission access. Therefore, the acquisition of the QCL relationship is more important for the results of idle state terminal devices.

From the perspective of the network device, the QCL relationship between the sent SSBs can be guaranteed according to the ssb-PositionsInBurst information indicated in the SIB1, so as to be consistent with the result of the QCL relationship determined by the terminal device.

In the embodiment of this application, the QCL relationship of the SSB is determined according to the number of actually transmitted SSBs. As shown in FIG. 7, if the number of SSBs included in the SSB cluster (L mentioned in the embodiment of this application) is used to determine the QCL relationship, It may cause the network equipment to wait a long time to send the SSB that has a QCL relationship with the sent SSB when detecting that the channel is idle, and the number of SSBs actually transmitted to determine the QCL relationship of the SSB will avoid the need for the network equipment The SSB can be sent after waiting for a long time. For example, in the case shown in FIG. 7, if the actual transmitted SSB is used to determine the QCL relationship of the SSB, the SSB can be sent at the candidate sending position index of 0. While ensuring that the terminal equipment accurately obtains the QCL relationship between the SSBs, it avoids the problem that channel resources between the starting position of the channel occupation and the starting position of the SSB can not be effectively used, thereby improving the utilization of system resources in the unlicensed frequency band effectiveness.

Therefore, in the embodiment of this application, the terminal device obtains the number of actually transmitted SSBs through the actually transmitted SSBs in the SSB cluster indicated in the indication information, and determines the QCL relationship based on the actual number of transmitted SSBs, which can avoid the SSB cluster The number of SSBs in the middle determines the channel waste caused by the QCL relationship, and the use of indication information indicating the actual transmitted SSB to determine the QCL relationship of the SSB can avoid the need to send an additional indication information (for example, carried in MIB, SIB or In the RRC signaling,) is used to indicate the number used to determine the QCL relationship of the SSB, so that the signaling overhead can be reduced.

It should be understood that the order of description or the size of the sequence numbers of the steps in the method shown in FIG. 9 does not represent the order of execution of the various steps.

For example, 210 and 230 may be executed simultaneously. 240 and 260 can be executed simultaneously. 270 can be executed before 260.
