技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,并且更具体地,涉及通信领域中一种链路失败恢复的方法和装置。
背景技术
在终端设备和网络设备的通信过程中,终端设备需要检测可用波束,并将可用波束的信息传输给网络设备,建立链路连接。当终端设备在检测到链路故障(波束失败)时,可以向网络设备发送波束失败恢复请求消息(beam failure recovery request,BFRQ),用于告知网络设备链路失败,并将检测的新的可用波束信息上报给网络设备,网络设备向终端设备发送波束失败恢复响应消息(beam failure recovery response,BFRR),从而指示终端设备新的链路信息,使得终端设备可以和网络设备建立新的链路连接,从而恢复链路。
如果终端设备无法确定新的链路或者找不到可用波束,会造成链路失败恢复失败,从而使得链路通信中断,通信效率降低。

通过上述方案,当发生链路失败进行链路恢复时,如果终端设备确定没有识别出新的链路,终端设备可以将发生链路失败的小区标识以及小区没有识别到新的链路的信息上报给网络设备,网络设备可以根据该信息重新配置新的资源集合,并将该新的资源集合通过第一请求消息的响应消息通知给终端设备,换言之,通过第一请求消息的响应消息指示其他资源集合中的参考信号,并上报该资源集合中的参考信号,用于链路恢复,从而可以提高链路失败恢复概率,减小链路失败恢复时延,提高链路失败恢复可靠性。

M个第一小区的第一状态的信息可以理解为,该M个第一小区可以共用一个第一状态,该第一状态指示该M个第一小区中的所有第一小区均没有识别到新链路。还可以理解为,该M个第一小区中的每一个第一小区均有一个第一状态(也即有M个第一状态),某个小区对应的第一状态指示该第一小区没有识别到新链路。
可选地,对于没有满足第一预设条件的第一参考信号的情况(1)、(2)、(4)中的至少一种情况,网络设备获知此时终端设备无法获得满足第一预设条件的第一参考信号,也即网络设备隐式知道了此时的第一状态,因此终端设备可以只需要(显示或隐式)上报M个第一小区的小区标识,无需上报该M个第一小区的第一状态的信息(或者说第一请求消息隐式指示了M个第一小区的第一状态的信息)。

为方便理解本申请,下面介绍与本申请相关的术语:
1、控制资源集合(control resource set,CORESET)
为了提高终端设备盲检控制信道的效率,NR标准制定过程中提出了控制资源集合的 概念。网络设备可为终端设备配置一个或多个资源集合,用于发送物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)。网络设备可以在终端设备对应的任一控制资源集合上,向终端设备发送控制信道。此外,网络设备还需要通知终端设备所述控制资源集合的相关联的其他配置,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,本申请中的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,ePDCCH)集合(set)。
PDCCH所占用的时频位置可以称之为下行控制区域。在LTE中,PDCCH始终位于一个子帧的前m个(m可能的取值为1、2、3和4)符号。应注意,LTE中E-PDCCH和R-PDCCH的位置未处于前m个符号。
在NR中,下行控制区域可以由RRC信令通过控制资源集合(control resource set,CORESET)和搜索空间集合(search space set)灵活配置:
控制资源集合可配置PDCCH或控制信道单元(control channel element,CCE)的频域位置,时域的持续符号数(最大值为3)等信息;
搜索空间集合可配置PDCCH的检测周期以及偏移量,在一个时隙内的起始符号等信息。
例如,搜索空间集合可配置PDCCH周期为1个时隙,而时域起始符号为符号0,则终端设备可以在每个时隙的起始位置检测PDCCH。
2、同位置假设(quasi-collocation,QCL)信息
准共站/准共址QCL假设信息也可以称为QCL信息,QCL信息用于辅助描述终端设备接收波束赋形信息以及接收流程。
QCL信息用于指示两种参考信号之间的QCL关系,其中目标参考信号一般是可以是解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS),信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS)等,而被引用的参考信号或者源参考信号一般可以是CSI-RS、追踪参考信号(tracking reference signal,TRS)、同步信号广播信道块(synchronous signal/PBCH block,SSB),探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS)等。
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索引可推断出目标参考信号的空间特性参数。
还应理解,满足空间相关性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索引可推断出目标参考信号的空间特性参数。
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、网络设备发送波束成型、网络设备接收波束成型、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)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信息完成接收侧波束赋形或接收处理过程。应理解,终端设备可以根据QCL信息指示的源参考信号的接收波束信息,接收目标参考信号;这些空间特性参数还有助于终端设备根据该空间相关信息完成发射侧波束赋形或者发射处理过程,应理解,终端设备可以根据空间相关信息指示的源参考信号的发射波束信息,发射目标参考信号。
其中,为了节省网络设备对终端设备的QCL信息指示开销,作为一种可选的实施方式,网络设备可以指示PDCCH或物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH)的解调参考信号与终端设备之前上报的多个参考信号资源中的一个或多个是满足QCL关系的,例如,该参考信号可以是CSI-RS。这里,每一个上报的CSI-RS资源索引对应了一个之前基于该CSI-RS资源测量时建立的一个收发波束对。应理解,满足QCL关系的两个参考信号或信道的接收波束信息是相同的,该终端设备可以根据该参考信号资源索引推断出接收PDCCH或PDSCH的接收波束信息。
现有标准中定义了四种类型的QCL,网络设备可以同时给终端设备配置一个或多种类型的QCL,如QCL type A+D,C+D:
QCL types A:Doppler shift,Doppler spread,average delay,delay spread
QCL types B:Doppler shift,Doppler spread
QCL types C:average delay,Doppler shift
QCL types D:Spatial Rx parameter
在本申请的举例中,某些参数的对应关系也可以应用于QCL描述下的场景。
应理解,本申请中适用于QCL假设的场景,也可以是两个参考信号,进一步或者是传输对象间的关联关系。
应理解,本申请中对于上行信号的发送有类似的概念,如spatial relation信息,该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。
spatial relation信息用于指示两种参考信号之间的空间发送参数关系,其中目标参考信号一般是可以是DMRS,SRS等,而被引用的参考信号或者源参考信号一般可以是CSI-RS、SRS、SSB等。
3、传输配置指示(transmission configuration indicator,TCI)状态
TCI用于指示PDCCH/CORESET或者是PDSCH的QCL信息。TCI信息是指TCI中包括的参考信号与PDCCH/PDSCH的DMRS满足QCL关系,主要用于指示接收PDCCH/PDSCH时,其空间接收参数等信息与TCI中包括的参考信号的空间接收参数等信息相同,相似,相近。
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。
4、同步信号广播信道块(synchronous signal/PBCH block,SS/PBCH block)
SS/PBCH block还可以称为SSB。其中,PBCH为物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel)的缩写。SSB包含主同步信号(primary synchronization signal,PSS)、辅同步信号(secondary synchronization signal,SSS)和PBCH中的至少一个。主要用于小区搜索、 小区同步、承载广播信息的信号。
5、小区载波相关概念:
载波聚合(carrier aggregation,CA):
通过将多个连续的或非连续的单元载波聚合成更大的带宽(例如,达到100MHz),从而满足3GPP对带宽的需求。
单元载波(component carrier,CC):
多载波聚合中的每个载波都可以称为“CC”,每个载波由一个或多个物理资源块(physical resource block,PRB)组成,每个载波上可以有各自对应的物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH),调度各自CC的物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDSCH);还可以没有PDCCH,而是通过其他CC上的PDCCH调度PDSCH。终端设备可以在多个CC上接收数据时,又可以称为分量载波,组成载波,或成员载波等。
主小区(primary cell,Pcell):
Pcell是CA的终端设备驻留的小区,CA的终端设备对应物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH),一般只有Pcell才有PUCCH。
辅助主小区(primary secondary cell,PScell):
PScell是主基站(master eNodeB,MeNB)通过RRC连接信令配置给DC UE的在辅基站(secondary eNodeB,SeNB)上的一个特殊辅小区。
辅小区(secondary cell,Scell):
Scell是指通过RRC连接信令配置给CA的终端设备的小区,工作在SCC(辅载波)上,可以为CA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。
特殊小区(special cell,Spcell):
对于双连接(dual connectivity,DC)场景,Spcell指主小区组(master cell group,MCG)的Pcell或者辅小区组(secondary cell group,SCG)的PScell;否则,如CA场景,Spcell指Pcell。
MCG/SCG:
MCG是指主基站中为终端设备提供服务的小区所在的组为主小区组。在双连接模式下,MeNB关联的一组服务小区,包括Pcell和一个或多个Scell。
SCG是指辅基站中为UE提供服务的小区所在的组为辅小区组。在双链接模式下,包括PSCell和0个或者多个Scell。
MeNB/SeNB:
MeNB是DC终端设备驻留小区所属的基站。
SeNB是MeNB通过RRC连接信令配置给DC UE的另一个基站。
6、波束(beam):
波束是一种通信资源。波束可以是宽波束,或者窄波束,或者其他类型波束。形成波束的技术可以是波束赋形技术或者其他技术手段。波束赋形技术可以具体为数字波束赋形技术,模拟波束赋形技术,混合数字/模拟波束赋形技术。不同的波束可以认为是不同的资源。通过不同的波束可以发送相同的信息或者不同的信息。可选的,可以将具有相同或 者类似的通信特征的多个波束视为是一个波束。一个波束内可以包括一个或多个天线端口,用于传输数据信道,控制信道和探测信号等,例如,发射波束可以是指信号经天线发射出去后在空间不同方向上形成的信号强度的分布,接收波束可以是指从天线上接收到的无线信号在空间不同方向上的信号强度分布。可以理解的是,形成一个波束的一个或多个天线端口也可以看作是一个天线端口集。
波束可以分为网络设备的发送波束和接收波束,与终端设备的发送波束和接收波束。网络设备的发送波束用于描述网络设备发送侧波束赋形信息,基站接收波束用于描述网络设备接收侧波束赋形信息,终端设备的发送波束用于描述终端设备发送侧波束赋形信息,终端接收波束用于描述终端设备接收侧波束赋形信息。也即波束用于描述波束赋形信息。
波束可以对应时间资源和或空间资源和或频域资源。
可选地,波束还可以与参考信号资源(例如,波束赋形的参考信号资源),或者波束赋形信息对应。
可选地,波束还可以与网络设备的参考信号资源关联的信息对应,其中参考信号可以为信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS),SSB,解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS)、相位跟踪信号(phase tracking reference signal,PTRS)跟踪信号(tracking reference signal,TRS)等,参考信号资源关联的信息可以是参考信号资源标识,或者QCL信息(特别是type D类型的QCL)等。其中,参考信号资源标识对应了之前基于该参考信号资源测量时建立的一个收发波束对,通过该参考信号资源索引,终端可推断波束信息。
可选地,波束还可以与空域滤波器(spatial filter或spatial domain filter)、空域传输滤波器(spatial domain transmission filter)对应。
通信系统通常使用不同种类的参考信号:一类参考信号用于估计信道,从而可以对含有控制信息或者数据的接收信号进行相干解调;另一类用于信道状态或信道质量的测量,从而实现对终端设备的调度。终端设备基于对CSI-RS的信道质量测量得到信道状态信息(Channel State Information,CSI),所述CSI包括秩指示(rank indicator,RI),预编码指示(precoding matrix indicator,PMI),信道质量指示(Channel Quality Indicator,CQI)等中的至少一种。这些CSI信息可由终端设备通过物理上行控制信道或物理上行共享信道发送给基站。
随着智能终端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特别是毫米波频段,日益成为下一代通信系统的候选频段。另一方面,现代通信系统通常使用多天线技术来提高系统的容量和覆盖或者改善用户的体验,使用高频频段带来的另一个好处就是可以大大减小多天线配置的尺寸,从而便于站址获取和更多天线的部署。然而,与现有LTE等系统的工作频段不同的是,高频频段将导致更大的路径损耗,特别是大气、植被等因素的影响更进一步加剧了无线传播的损耗。
为克服上述较大的传播损耗,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,波束赋形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。
当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,从而接收信号频繁中断的问题。为跟踪所述信号传输过程中的赋形波束变化,一种基于波束赋形技术的信道质量测量及结果上报被引入。所述信道质量的测量可以基于波束赋形后的同步信号或小区特定参考信号。相比小区切换,用户在不同赋形波束间的切换更加动态和频繁,因此需要一种动态的测量上报机制。可选地,类似于CSI信息的上报,所述赋形波束的信道质量结果的上报也可由终端设备通过物理上行控制信道或物理上行共享信道发送给基站。
终端设备通过对基站发送的多个波束进行测量选择其较优的N个波束,并将较优的N个波束测量信息上报给基站。波束测量信息也即波束状态信息(beam state information,BSI),内容主要包括波束索引,波束的参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power,RSRP)。在波束的训练过程中,网络设备对终端设备发送的多个波束进行测量,并且将终端设备发送的多个波束中较优的波束通知给终端设备,例如通过参考信号资源的形式通知给终端设备,如波束索引1。终端设备的接收波束通过QCL中的spatial RX parameter指示,波束状态信息可以描述为L1-RSRP related information。
具体地,波束训练过程包括:
1)最优的N个波束对(beam pair link,BPL)(一个BPL包括一个基站发射波束和一个终端设备接收波束,或者,一个BPL包括一个终端设备发射波束和一个基站的接收波束)的选择。用于终端设备基于网络设备的波束扫描实现对基站发射波束和/或终端接收波束的选择,以及,网络设备基于终端设备的波束扫描实现对终端发射波束和/或基站接收波束的选择。
2)发射波束的更新,该发射波束可以为基站发射波束,也可以为终端设备发射波束。当该发射波束为基站发射波束时,基站通过不同的发射波束向终端设备发送参考信号,终端设备通过同一个接收波束来接收基站通过不同的发射波束发送的参考信号,并基于接收信号确定基站的最优发射波束,然后将基站的最优发射波束反馈给基站,以便于基站对发射波束进行更新。当该发射波束为终端发射波束时,终端设备通过不同的发射波束向基站发送参考信号,基站通过同一个接收波束来接收终端设备通过不同的发射波束发送的参考信号,并基于接收信号确定终端设备的最优发射波束,然后将终端设备的最优发射波束反馈给终端设备,以便于终端设备对发射波束进行更新。其中,上述通过不同的发射波束发送参考信号的过程可以称为波束扫描,基于接收信号确定最优发射波束的过程可以称为波束匹配。
3)接收波束的更新,该接收波束可以为基站接收波束,也可以为终端设备接收波束。当该接收波束为基站接收波束时,终端设备通过同一个发射波束向基站发送参考信号,基站采用不同的接收波束接收终端设备发送的参考信号,然后基于接收信号确定基站的最优接收波束,以对基站的接收波束进行更新。当该接收波束为终端设备的接收波束时,基站通过同一个发射波束向终端设备发送参考信号,终端设备采用不同的接收波束接收基站发送的参考信号,然后基于接收信号确定终端设备的最优接收波束,以对终端设备的接收波束进行更新。
在下行信号的传输中,基站发射波束和终端设备接收波束均可能发生动态变化,终端设备基于接收信号确定的最优接收波束可能包括多个,为了使终端设备确定自身的接收波束,终端设备可以将多个接收波束的信息反馈给网络设备,网络设备可以通过向终端设备 发送波束指示信息来向终端设备指示终端接收波束。当终端设备采用模拟域的波束赋形时,终端设备可以基于网络设备发送的波束指示信息来精确的确定终端接收波束,从而可以节省终端设备的波束扫描时间,达到省电的效果。
通过上述介绍的波束训练过程,基站获得和终端设备通信较优的N个波束对BPL,所述波束对BPL为<Bx,B’x>,其中Bx代表基站的发送波束,B’x代表终端设备的接收波束,以及<By,B’y>,其中By代表终端设备的发送波束,B’y代表基站的接收波束。基站在后续和终端设备通信过程中会采用这N个BPL进行数据传输。但是由于在通信过程中存在遮挡,高频信道下的绕射能力差,导致当前服务的波束被阻挡,信号无法继续传输。为了防止在出现波束被阻挡的情况下,通信被突然中段,需要引入相应的机制对波束质量进行检测,并在发生阻挡的情况下快速恢复链路。
7、检测链路失败及恢复链路失败所配置的参考信号
为了检测和恢复链路故障,网络设备可以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)(也可以称为链路失败检测参考信号资源集合)。网络设备还可以给终端设备配置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或candidate beam list)(也可以称为候选参考信号资源集合或链路失败恢复参考信号资源集合)。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,则判定为通信链路故障。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 OOS(out of sync))相同。该预定门限可以称为链路失败检测门限,还可以称为链路失败门限。应理解,只要是用于链路失败的检测的门限均可以为该预定门限,本发明不对该预定门限的名称做限定。
波束失败后,终端设备需要从候选参考信号资源集合中选出信道质量信息(如RSRP、CQI等)高于预定门限的参考信号资源,用于恢复通信链路。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。
应理解,在本申请实施例中,通信失败还可以称为通信链路失败、通信链路故障、链路故障、链路失败、通信故障、波束失败、波束故障等。在本申请实施例中,这些概念是相同的含义。该通信失败可以是指用于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。通信链路故障后,终端设备需要从候选参考信号资源集合中选出信道质量信息(如RSRP、RSRQ、CQI、SINR等)高于预定门限的参考信号资源,用于恢复通信链路。
可选的,该预定门限可以由网络设备配置,或者还可以是预定义的门限。例如,当网络设备没有配置该门限时,默认使用用于移动性测量的门限。该预定门限可以称为链路失败恢复门限,还可以称为链路恢复门限。应理解,只要是用于链路失败恢复的门限均可以为该预定门限,本发明不对该预定门限的名称做限定。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,通信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。

应理解,本申请中,某小区的链路恢复失败可以理解为终端设备不再发送该小区对应的第一请求信息和/或第二请求信息和/或第三请求信息,也可以理解为停止链路失败恢复时钟计时,也可以理解为停止链路失败恢复计数器计数等。或者某小区的链路恢复失败可以理解为该小区对应的链路失败恢复时钟超时,和或链路失败恢复计数器计数超过最大次数或达到最大次数仍未收到该小区的响应信息。其中,链路失败恢复计数器用于计数链路失败恢复请求信息的发送次数。可选地,终端设备的媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层会维护一个链路失败恢复计时器(beam failure recovery timer)和链路失败恢复计数器(beam failure recovery counter)。该链路失败恢复计时器用于控制整个链路失败恢复的时间,该链路失败恢复计数器用于限制该终端设备发送链路失败恢复请求的次数,当链路失败恢复计数器达到最大值时,该终端设备认为链路失败恢复不成功,停止链路失败恢复过程。所述恢复计时器的恢复时间和所述恢复计数器的计数值可以是网络设备配置的,也可以是预设值。
应理解,本申请中,某小区的链路恢复成功可以理解为终端设备检测到该小区的响应信息。

应理解,本申请中的“第一参考信号”是第一参考信号的资源集合中对应的参考信号,该第一参考信号的资源集合可以为候选参考信号集合。该第一参考信号的资源集合是用于恢复第一小区的链路的参考信号资源集合。该第一参考信号的资源集合中对应的参考信号可以是第一小区上的参考信号,还可以是其他小区上的参考信号。或者说该第一参考信号的资源集合对应的参考信号资源可以是第一小区上的参考信号资源,还可以是其他小区上的参考信号资源。本申请实施例对此并不作限定。
应理解,本申请各实施中,终端设备与网络设备之间的交互通常是对应的,即终端设备发送信息,相应的网络设备也会接收该信息;或者网络设备发送信息,相应的,终端设备也会接收该信息。进一步的,网络设备与终端设备收发信息所使用的物理资源,或所应用的规则如周期,优先级顺序等也是对应的,本申请各实施例不作限制。
应理解,上述各个术语的定义可以参考现有技术。但随着技术的不断发展,上述定义也有可能发生变化,本申请各实施例不作限制。
图2是一种链路失败恢复方法的示意性流程图。如图2所示,该链路失败恢复方法 200包括以下内容:
201,终端设备检测当前链路的工作状态。例如,终端设备可以检测得到当前链路,确定当前链路失败。
应理解,本申请的链路可以理解为“波束”,即终端采用当前波束进行信号传输失败。
例如,当终端设备判断连续N次beam failure detection RS或者beam failure detection RS set中所有或部分参考信号的信道质量信息小于或等于链路失败检测门限时,该终端设备可以确定该终端设备与网络设备之间的链路发生故障。
应理解,本申请实施例中,该终端设备确定与网络设备之间的链路失败的方式并不限于以上举例,还可以由其他判断方式确定,本申请对此并不作任何限定。
202,终端设备选择新的链路,即终端设备选择新的波束。
例如,该终端设备测量候选参考信号集合(candidate beam identification RS)的信道质量信息,根据该candidate beam identification RS的信道质量信息,确定信道质量大于或者等于第二预设门限的参考信号(new identified beam),即确定新的波束。
203,在选择新的链路之后,终端设备向网络设备发送链路失败请求消息(beam failure recovery request,BFRQ),相应地,网络设备接收终端设备发送的BFRQ。
其中,BFRQ包括步骤202中终端设备选择的新的链路,换言之,BFRQ可以指示终端设备识别的信道质量信息大于链路失败恢复门限的参考信号的信息。终端设备可以通过显式或隐式的方式将新识别的链路信息(例如new beam)或参考信号资源通知给网络设备。
相应地,网络设备接收终端设备发送的BFRQ之后,根据BFRQ中包括的新的链路信息确定新的链路。
应理解,在终端设备向网络设备发送BFRQ的过程中,终端设备的媒体介入控制(media access control,MAC)层会维护一个定时器(beam failure recovery timer)和计数器(beam failure recovery counter)。其中,定时器(beam failure recovery timer)用于控制整个链路失败恢复的时间,计数器(beam failure recovery counter)用于限制终端设备发送链路失败恢复请求的次数。当定时器时间到期或者计数器达到最大值时,终端设备认为链路失败恢复不成功,停止该链路失败恢复过程。
204,网络设备向终端设备发送波束失败恢复响应消息(beam failure recovery response,BFRR),相应地,终端设备接收网络设备发送的BFRR。
其中,BFRR可以根据203指示的新的链路信息或者参考信号的信息进行发送。
终端设备检测网络设备发送的CORESET内的DCI,该CORESET可以是网络设备为终端设备配置的专用的CORESET资源,用于链路失败时,在终端设备发送链路失败请求BFRQ后,网络设备发送给终端设备的链路失败响应消息BFRR的下行控制资源。
终端设备根据BFRQ中包括的新的链路信息接收该BFRR。若终端设备接收到链路失败恢复响应信息,则终端设备确定链路失败恢复成功。
应理解,在上述链路失败恢复方法200中,步骤201可以早于步骤202执行,步骤201还可以和步骤202同时执行,本申请对步骤201和202执行的时间先后顺序不做限定。
还应理解,在上述链路失败恢复方法200中,步骤202可以早于步骤203执行,步骤202也可以晚于步骤203执行,步骤202还可以和步骤203同时执行,本申请对步骤202 和203执行的时间先后顺序不做限定。
以上介绍了在终端设备确定链路失败的情况下,可以识别到新的链路信息或者新的波束信息,可以将新的链路信息通知网络设备,进行链路恢复。但是,如果终端设备在步骤202中,无法确定新的链路或者找不到可用的新链路,换言之,终端设备找不到信道质量大于或者等于第二预设门限的参考信号或者新的波束(new identified beam)。此时,会造成链路失败恢复失败,从而使得链路通信中断,通信效率降低。
为了提高链路恢复的可靠性,本申请提供一种链路恢复的方法,当终端设备无法确定新的链路或者找不到可用的新链路时,可以通过显式或隐式的方式,指示网络设备没有识别出新的链路,再通过其他方式进行链路恢复,提高链路失败恢复概率,进而链路恢复可靠性。
图3是本申请实施例提供的一例链路失败恢复的方法的示意性流程图。
应理解,在本申请实施例的描述中,网络设备可以为终端设备提供一个Pcell、至少一个Scell,以Scell和终端设备之间链路失败为例,以终端设备和网络设备作为执行主体,对方法300的每个步骤进行详细说明。
作为示例而非限定,方法300的执行主体也可以是应用于终端设备的芯片和应用于网络设备的芯片,本申请对此不做限定。
301,终端设备检测当前链路的工作状态。例如,终端设备可以检测得到当前链路,确定当前链路失败。
应理解,该步骤301可参照方法200中的步骤201,具体地,当终端设备判断连续N次beam failure detection RS或者beam failure detection RS set中所有或部分参考信号的信道质量信息小于或等于第一预设门限时,该终端设备可以确定该终端设备与网络设备之间的链路发生故障。
还应理解,本申请实施例中,该终端设备确定与网络设备之间的链路失败的方式并不限于以上举例,还可以由其他判断方式确定,本申请对此并不作任何限定。
302,终端设备确认没有新的链路。
示例性的,在本申请中,终端设备检测当前链路,确定L个Scell发生链路失败,其中有M个Scell没有识别到新链路,换言之,该M个Scell中的每一个Scell都没有新的链路,其中L≥M≥1,且L、M为整数。
应理解,终端设备确认没有新的链路即没有新的可用的波束或者波束对应的第一参考信号,在本申请中,称为no new beam state,即本申请中称为第一状态。可以理解为,该第一状态为所述M个第一小区中的每个小区都没有满足第一预设条件的第一参考信号的状态,其中第一预设条件用于确定M个Scell没有识别到新的链路。
在一种更可能的实现方式中,终端设备可以根据以下方式中的一种或多种确定没有新的链路:
(1)终端设备确认没有配置候选波束列表(candidate beam list),配置了链路恢复门限。
应理解,这里链路恢复门限可以为一个预设门限,本申请对该预设门限与前述第一预设门限、第二预设门限的大小关系和信道质量类型不做限定。可选地,该链路恢复门限可以等于第二预设门限或者第一预设门限。
还应理解,本申请中涉及的预设门限(例如第一预设门限、第二预设门限或者链路恢复门限)可以通过预先配置或者协议预先定义,本申请对预设门限的配置方式不做限定。
(2)终端设备确认配置了候选波束列表(candidate beam list),没有配置链路恢复门限。
(3)终端设备确认配置了候选波束列表(candidate beam list)和链路恢复门限了,但是终端设备在该candidate beam list中没有识别出大于链路恢复门限的参考信号。
(4)终端设备确认候选波束列表(candidate beam list)和链路恢复门限都没有配置。在该种情况中,可以默认为没有新的链路。
303,终端设备向网络设备发送第一请求消息,相应地,网络设备接收终端设备发送的第一请求消息,该第一请求消息指示链路失败的小区的小区信息。
可选地,该第一请求消息可以是第一链路失败请求消息还可以为调度请求信息,还可以是二者的结合信息,本申请对此不做限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该第一指示信息包括第一部分内容和/或第二部分内容,其中,第一部分内容用于指示一个或多个发生链路失败的小区标识,第二部分内容用于指示发生链路失败的每个小区是否识别出新的链路。
应理解,在该种实现方式中,步骤302是可选地步骤。
示例性的,假设网络设备为终端设备提供了Q个Scell(可选地,该Q个SCell是需要链路失败检测的SCell,也就是说网络设备配置了需要链路失败检测的Q个SCell),终端设备确定3个Scell的链路失败,终端设备将该3个链路失败的Scell的标识(identification,ID)上报给网络设备。如下表1所示,3个链路失败的Scell的标识分别为C1、C2和C3,第一部分内容可以包括该链路失败的3个小区的标识,第二部分内容可以包括该3个小区中每一个小区是否识别出新的链路,例如对于C1和C3,没有识别出新的链路,对于C2,识别到新的链路。可选地,第二部分内容可以通过几个比特(bit)的指示信息进行指示,例如“000”指示标识为C1的小区没有识别出新的链路,“001”指示标识为C1的小区识别到新的链路,本申请对第一指示信息的内容不做限定。
表1
Scell的标识(第一部分内容) 是否识别出新的链路(第二部分内容)
C1 no
C2 yes
C3 no
应理解,上述实现方式中,第一部分内容可以指示一个或多个发生链路失败的小区标识,其中第一部分内容指示的发生链路失败的小区个数的最大值可以是网络设备配置的,还可以是终端设备上报的,还可以是终端设备能力上报的,还可以是协议预定义的。
应理解,上述实现方式中,第一指示信息可以具有多种形式,下面将详细描述在某些可能的情况下的第一指示信息,并分情况描述本实现方式中第一部分内容与第二部分内容的可能的资源配置方式。
情况1
第一部分内容与第二部分内容承载在一个资源上。其中,该资源可以是PRACH资源 (竞争的或非竞争的),还可以是PUCCH资源,还可以是半静态的PUSCH资源等。
其中,第一部分内容与第二部分内容可以混合映射(或者称为可以混合编码)。可以理解为一个第一小区的第一部分内容跟着该第一小区的第二部分内容,例如网络设备为终端设备提供了需要链路失败恢复检测的4个Scell(如C1,C2,C3,C4),终端设备确定3个Scell的链路失败(如C1,C2,C3),终端设备将该3个链路失败的Scell的标识对应的二进制状态值(如00,01,10)上报给网络设备。3个链路失败的Scell的标识分别为C1、C2和C3,第一部分内容可以包括该链路失败的3个小区的标识,第二部分内容可以包括该3个小区中每一个小区是否识别出新的链路,例如对于C1和C3,没有识别出新的链路,对于C2,识别到新的链路。例如“0”指示没有识别出新的链路,“1”指示识别到新的链路,本申请对第一指示信息的内容不做限定。如下表2所示,
表2
Scell的标识(第一部分内容) 是否识别出新的链路(第二部分内容)
00 0
01 1
10 0
第一指示信息的内容可以为000011100,其中前三个bit位表示第一个链路失败的小区的第一部分内容(小区标识)和第二部分内容(是否识别出新的链路的状态信息),中间三个bit位表示第二个链路失败的小区的第一部分内容和第二部分内容,同理对于后面的三个bit位有相同的方法。
其中,第一部分内容与第二部分内容可以分别映射。可以理解为所有链路失败的第一小区的第一部分内容跟着所有链路失败的第一小区的第二部分内容,例如网络设备为终端设备提供了需要链路失败恢复检测的4个Scell(如C1,C2,C3,C4),终端设备确定3个Scell的链路失败(如C1,C2,C3),终端设备将该3个链路失败的Scell的标识对应的二进制状态值(如00,01,10)上报给网络设备。3个链路失败的Scell的标识分别为C1、C2和C3,第一部分内容可以包括该链路失败的3个小区的标识,第二部分内容可以包括该3个小区中每一个小区是否识别出新的链路,例如对于C1和C3,没有识别出新的链路,对于C2,识别到新的链路。例如“0”指示没有识别出新的链路,“1”指示识别到新的链路,本申请对第一指示信息的内容不做限定。如表2所示,第一指示信息的内容可以为
000110010,其中前6个bit位指示第一个链路失败的小区的第一部分内容、第二个链路失败的小区的第一部分内容和第三个链路失败的小区的第一部分内容;后面3个bit位指示第二部分内容,其中3个bit位的第一个bit位对应第一个链路失败的小区的第二部分内容,第二个bit位对应第二个链路失败的小区的第二部分内容,第三个bit位对应第三个链路失败的小区的第二部分内容。
通过将第一部分内容与第二部分内容承载在一个资源上,网络设备可以更快的获得链路失败的小区信息。
应理解,情况1中,第一部分内容与第二部分内容可以联合编码。
情况2
第一部分内容与第二部分内容承载在不同资源上,和/或,第一部分内容与第二部分 内容独立编码。其中,该资源可以是PRACH资源(竞争的或非竞争的),还可以是PUCCH资源,还可以是半静态的PUSCH资源等。
示例一
网络设备配置P1个用于承载第一部分内容的第一资源,P2个用于承载第二部分内容的第二资源,其中P1≥1,1≤P2≤P1,且P1、P2为整数。终端设备可以根据资源之间或者资源与小区之间关联关系,隐式上报发生链路失败的小区标识和或该链路失败的小区是否识别出新链路的情况。如该P1第一资源可以与Q个第一小区相关联。进一步地,P1=Q,P1个第一资源中的一个资源可以关联Q个第一小区中的一个第一小区。该P2个第二资源可以与Q个第一小区相关联。进一步地,P2=Q,P2个第二资源中的一个资源可以关联一个Q个第一小区中的一个第一小区。该P2个第二资源还可以与P1个第一资源相关联。
应理解,终端设备在其中一个或多个第一资源上发送第一部分内容的指示信息用于指示该一个或多个第一资源对应的一个或多个小区发生链路失败,在终端设备判断该一个或多个小区是否识别出新的链路后,在该一个或多个小区对应的第二资源上发送是否识别出新的链路的第二部分内容的指示信息。
终端设备确定Q个第一小区中的L个第一小区发生链路失败,终端设备从P1个第一资源中选择至少一个资源用于发送第一部分内容,该第一部分内容指示该发生链路失败的L个第一小区的小区标识或小区组标识。例如,P1个第一资源与Q个第一小区有一一对应关系,那么终端设备选择P1个第一资源中与该发生链路失败的L个第一小区有对应关系或关联关系的L个第一资源发送第一部分内容(用于指示该P1个第一资源对应的L个第一小区发生链路失败)。终端设备可以从P2个第二资源中选择至少一个资源发送第二部分内容,该第二部分内容指示该发生链路失败的该L个第一小区的每个小区是否识别出新的链路的信息。例如,P2个第二资源与Q个第一小区有一一对应关系,那么终端设备选择P2个第二资源中与该发生链路失败的L个第一小区有对应关系或关联关系的L个第二资源发送第二部分内容。再例如,P2个第二资源与L个第一资源一一对应关系(该关联关系是动态的,因为L个第一资源是动态选择的,如协议规定P2个资源可以与终端设备上报第一部分内容中的L个第一资源顺序关联),那么终端设备选择P2个第二资源中与该发生链路失败的L个第一小区有对应关系或关联关系的L个第二资源发送第二部分内容。举个例子来说,网络设备配置5个第一资源分别与小区#1,#2,#3,#4,#5对应,2个第二资源;终端确定小区#1和#5发生链路失败,在第一资源#1和第一资源#5上报第一部分内容,在第二资源#1上报小区#1的新链路识别情况,在第二资源#2上报小区#5的新链路识别情况。
示例二
网络设备配置一个第一资源用于承载第一部分内容,一个第二资源用于承载第二部分内容。终端设备可以通过显示方式上报发生链路失败的第一小区的标识和或该发生链路失败的小区的新链路识别情况。终端设备在该一个第一资源上发送第一部分内容,在该一个第二资源上发送第二部分内容。
示例三
网络设备配置一个第一资源用于承载第一部分内容,多个第二资源用于承载第二部分内容。终端设备可以通过显示方式上报发生链路失败的第一小区的标识和或通过隐式方式 上报该发生链路失败的小区的新链路识别情况。终端设备在该一个第一资源上发送第一部分内容,从该多个第二资源中选择至少一个资源发送第二部分内容。其中,如何通过隐式方式上报小区标识,其方法同示例一,此处不再赘述。
示例四
网络设备配置多个第一资源用于承载第一部分内容,一个第二资源用于承载第二部分内容。终端设备可以通过隐式方式上报发生链路失败的第一小区的标识和或通过显示方式上报该发生链路失败的小区的新链路识别情况。终端设备从该多个第一资源中选择至少一个资源发送第一部分内容,在该一个第二资源上发送第二部分内容。其中,如何通过隐式方式上报第二部分内容,其方法同示例一,此处不再赘述。
通过将第一部分内容与第二部分内容承载在不同资源上,网络设备可以独立解码两部分内容,其资源配置或者编码更加灵活,可以获得更好的解码成功率。此外,若第一部分内容指示的链路失败的小区个数是变化的,那么需要上报的发生链路失败的每个小区是否识别出新的链路的总的比特数也是随之变化的,也即第二部分内容的比特数也是变化的。因此若第一部分内容与第二部分内容承载在不同资源上或者独立编码,网络设备可以不用按照最大比特数分配固定大小资源,可以降低资源开销。
应理解,情况2中,第一资源和第二资源可以是相同的资源,此时第一部分内容与第二部分内容独立编码。第一资源和第二资源还可以是不同的资源。
通过上述实现方式,网络设备可以为终端设备配置一个或多个资源,该资源用于承载第一指示信息,该第一指示信息可以指示一个或多个小区是否发生链路失败,或者指示链路失败的一个或多个小区的小区标识,并且指示该一个或多个小区的每个小区的新链路识别情况(是否识别出新的链路),终端设备上报第一指示信息给网络设备。网络设备可以获知发生链路失败的小区和该小区的新链路识别情况,使得网络设备可以及时根据每个发生链路失败的小区的新链路识别情况,较早触发新的参考信号的资源集合,从而降低链路失败恢复时延。此外,当多个小区发生链路失败时,该方法可以同时进行链路恢复,降低链路失败恢复时延。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该第一指示信息包括第一部分内容和第二部分内容,其中,第一部分内容用于指示一个发生链路失败的小区标识,第二部分内容用于指示该小区是否识别出新的链路。
应理解,在该种实现方式中,步骤302是可选地步骤。
相应地,网络设备可以根据该方法解码或解析第一部分内容和第二部分内容。即根据第一部分内容解码或解析第二部分内容。
可选地,第二部分内容指示第一部分内容指示的一个链路失败的小区对应的新链路的识别情况(是否识别出新链路)。具体地,假设网络设备配置了Q个SCell(可选地,该Q个SCell是需要链路失败检测的SCell,也就是说网络设备配置了需要链路失败检测的Q个SCell),终端设备确定一个或个SCell的链路失败,终端设备将3个链路失败的SCell中的一个SCell的标识上报给网络设备,并将该SCell的新链路识别情况(是否识别出新的链路的信息)上报给网络设备。
应理解,上述实现方式中,第一指示信息可以具有多种形式,下面将详细描述在某些可能的情况下的第一指示信息,并描述本实现方式中第一部分内容与第二部分内容的可能 的资源配置方式。可选地,第一部分内容与第二部分内容承载在不同资源上,和或,第一部分内容与第二部分内容独立编码。其中,该资源可以是PRACH资源(竞争的或非竞争的),还可以是PUCCH资源,还可以是半静态的PUSCH资源等。
示例五
网络设备配置多个第一资源用于承载第一部分内容,一个第二资源用于承载第二部分内容。终端设备可以通过隐式方式上报发生链路失败的一个第一小区的标识,和或上报该发生链路失败的一个第一小区的新链路识别情况。终端设备从该多个第一资源中选择一个资源发送第一部分内容(即发生链路失败的一个第一小区的标识),在该一个第二资源上发送第一部分内容指示的第一小区的新链路识别情况(即第二部分内容)。更具体地,网络设备可以配置P1个用于承载第一部分内容的第一资源,一个用于承载第二部分内容的第二资源,其中P1≥1,且P1为整数。终端设备可以根据资源之间或者资源与小区之间关联关系,隐式上报一个链路失败的小区标识,并根据该第一部分内容指示的一个链路失败的小区标识上报该一个链路失败的小区是否识别出新链路的情况。如该P1第一资源可以与Q个第一小区相关联。进一步地,P1=Q,P1个第一资源中的一个资源可以关联Q个第一小区中的一个第一小区(也可以理解为Q个第一小区中的每个小区关联一个第一资源)。举个例子来说,网络设备配置5个第一资源分别与小区#1,#2,#3,#4,#5对应,1个第二资源;终端确定小区#2发生链路失败,在第一资源#2上报第一部分内容,在第二资源上报小区#2的新链路识别情况。
例如,对发生链路失败的C1小区,第一资源承载的第一部分内容用于指示该小区的标识C1,第二资源承载的第二部分内容用于指示该C1没有识别出新的链路。同理,对于发生链路失败的C2小区,网络设备也为C2配置了一个第一资源,第一资源承载的第一部分内容用于指示该小区的标识C2,第二资源承载的第二部分内容用于指示该C2识别出了新的链路。
示例六
网络设备配置一个第一资源用于承载第一部分内容,一个第二资源用于承载第二部分内容。终端设备可以通过显示方式上报链路失败的一个第一小区的标识(即第一部分内容),并上报该链路失败的一个第一小区的新链路识别情况(即第二部分内容)。终端设备在该一个第一资源上发送第一部分内容,在该一个第二资源上发送第二部分内容。
应理解,上述实现方式中,第一资源和第二资源可以是相同的资源,此时第一部分内容与第二部分内容独立编码,分别占用不同的比特位。第一资源和第二资源还可以是不同的资源。
通过上述实现方式,网络设备可以为终端设备的配置一个或多个资源,该资源用于承载第一指示信息。第一指示信息指示指示发生链路失败的一个小区标识,以及指示该发生链路失败的一个小区是否识别出新的链路的信息,终端设备在对应的资源上上报第一指示信息给网络设备。网络设备可以获知发生链路失败的小区和该小区的新链路识别情况,使得网络设备可以及时根据该发生链路失败的小区的新链路识别情况,较早触发新的资源集合,从而降低链路失败恢复时延。此外,网络设备可以配置一个或多个资源用于指示链路失败的小区标识,再配置一个资源用于指示链路失败的小区的新链路识别情况;或者终端设备可以通过某些比特位上报一个链路失败小区的标识,再通过另一个比特位上报该一个 链路失败小区的新链路的识别情况;也可以理解为终端设备根据第一部分的上报内容确定第二部分内容。该方法可以有效节省资源开销。
此外,当一个小区发生链路失败时,该方法可以针对一个小区单独做链路恢复。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该第一指示信息包括第一部分内容和第二部分内容,其中,第一部分内容用于指示多个发生链路失败的小区标识,第二部分内容用于指示该多个发生链路失败的小区是否全都没有识别出新的链路。
应理解,在该种实现方式中,步骤302是可选地步骤。
其中,第二部分内容用于指示该多个发生链路失败的小区是否全都没有识别出新的链路可以理解为,当第一部分内容指示的多个链路失败的小区的新链路都没有被识别出时,上报第一状态;当第一部分内容指示的多个链路失败的小区的新链路至少有一个被识别出时,上报第二状态。
应理解,这里的第一状态为所述M个第一小区中的每个小区都没有满足第一预设条件的第一参考信号的状态,第二状态为所述M个第一小区中的第j个第一小区有满足所述第一预设条件的第一参考信号的状态,或者第二状态为所述M个第一小区中的至少一个第一小区有满足所述第一预设条件的第一参考信号的状态。
还应理解,在本申请实施例中,第二部分内容的第一状态和第二状态可以通过以下3种方式进行指示。
方式1:通过两个状态值,如状态值0表示第一状态,状态值1表示第二状态。
方式2:通过两个资源,如在一个第二资源上发送信号表示第一状态,在另一个第二资源上发送信号表示第二状态。
方式3:通过一个第二资源上发送或不发送信号表示两个状态,如在该第二资源上不发送信号表示第一状态,在该第二资源上发送信号表示第二状态。
应理解,在本申请实施例中,有发送第二部分内容的场景,和不发送第二部分内容的场景,以上的三种方式都是可能的实现方式,不应对本申请的方案造成影响。
此外,第一指示信息/第一请求消息中的第一状态,或者第二指示信息/第二请求消息中的第一状态还可以通过方法4指示。
方法4:通过某个特殊状态位指示第一状态。如下表3所示,该指示信息包括2比特用于指示参考信号的信息,其中该2比特的最低状态位(可以是00状态)指示第一状态。
表3
取值(参考信号的信息) 指示的参考信号
00 no beam(没有新链路)
01 参考信号#1
10 参考信号#2
11 参考信号#3
具体地,假设网络设备为终端设备提供了Q个Scell,终端设备确定3个Scell的链路失败,终端设备将该3个链路失败的Scell的标识(identification,ID)上报给网络设备。如下表4所示,3个链路失败的Scell的标识分别为C1、C2和C3,第一部分内容可以包括该链路失败的3个小区的标识,第二部分内容可以包括该3个小区是否全都没有识别出 新的链路,例如对于C1、C2和C3,全都没有识别到新的链路,因此,第二部分内容为yes,用于告诉网络设备3个链路失败的Scell都没有识别出新的链路。

应理解,上述实现方式中,第一指示信息可以具有多种形式,下面将详细描述在某些可能的情况下的第一指示信息,并分情况描述本实现方式中第一部分内容与第二部分内容的可能的资源配置方式。
示例七
网络设备配置多个第一资源用于承载第一部分内容,一个第二资源用于承载第二部分内容。终端设备可以通过隐式方式上报发生链路失败的多个第一小区的标识,和或,上报该发生链路失败的多个第一小区的对应的新链路是否均没有被识别出的情况。终端设备从该多个第一资源中选择至少两个资源发送第一部分内容(即发生链路失败的多个第一小区的标识),在该一个第二资源上发送第一部分内容指示的多个第一小区的新链路是否均没有被识别出的情况(即第二部分内容)。
更具体地,网络设备可以配置P1个用于承载第一部分内容的第一资源,一个用于承载第二部分内容的第二资源,其中P1≥1,且P1为整数。终端设备可以根据资源之间或者资源与小区之间关联关系,隐式上报多个链路失败的小区标识,并根据该第一部分内容指示的该多个链路失败的小区标识上报该多个链路失败的小区是否均没有识别出新链路的情况。如该P1第一资源可以与Q个第一小区相关联。进一步地,P1=Q,P1个第一资源中的一个资源可以关联Q个第一小区中的一个第一小区(也可以理解为Q个第一小区中的每个小区关联一个第一资源)。举个例子来说,网络设备配置5个第一资源分别与小区#1,#2,#3,#4,#5对应,1个第二资源;终端确定小区#2和小区#5发生链路失败,在第一资源#2和第一资源#5上报第一部分内容,在第二资源上报小区#2和小区#5的新链路识别情况(例如,若没有识别出小区#2的新链路和小区#5的新链路,则在第二资源上上报状态值0;若小区#2的新链路和小区#5的新链路至少识别出一个,则在第二资源上上报状态值1)。
示例八
网络设备配置一个第一资源用于承载第一部分内容,一个第二资源用于承载第二部分内容。终端设备可以通过显示方式上报链路失败的多个第一小区的标识(即第一部分内容),并上报该链路失败的多个第一小区的是否均没有识别出新链路的情况(即第二部分内容)。终端设备在该一个第一资源上发送第一部分内容,在该一个第二资源上发送第二部分内容。举个例子来说,网络设备配置1个第一资源(该资源可以承载多个比特信息),1个第二资源;终端确定小区#2和小区#5发生链路失败,在第一资源上报小区#2的标识和小区#5的标识(即第一部分内容),在第二资源上报小区#2和小区#5的新链路识别情 况。例如:共有16个小区(小区#1至16)需要链路失败检测,则第一资源上报0001和0100,其中0001指示小区#2,0100指示小区#5;若没有识别出小区#2的新链路和小区#5的新链路,则在第二资源上上报状态值0;若小区#2的新链路和小区#5的新链路至少识别出一个,则在第二资源上上报状态值1。
应理解,上述实现方式中,第一资源和第二资源可以是相同的资源,此时第一部分内容与第二部分内容独立编码,分别占用不同的比特位。第一资源和第二资源还可以是不同的资源。
应理解在示例五和示例七中,网络设备为每个Scell配置对应的第一资源,第一资源用于承载第一部分内容(即指示一个或者多个链路失败的小区标识);并配置一个第二资源用于指示一个或者多个链路失败的小区是否全部都没有识别出新的链路。终端设备可以在其中一个或多个第一资源上发送第一部分内容,用于指示该资源对应的一个或多个小区发生链路失败;终端设备在判断该一个或多个小区是否均全都没有识别出新的链路后,终端设备在第二资源发送第二部分内容或者确定在网络设备配置的第二资源是否发送信号。
应理解在示例六和示例八中,网络设备为配置一个第一资源,该第一资源用于承载第一部分内容(即指示一个或者多个链路失败的小区标识);并配置一个第二资源用于指示一个或者多个链路失败的小区是否全部都没有识别出新的链路。终端设备可以在其中一个或多个第一资源上发送第一部分内容,用于指示该资源对应的一个或多个小区发生链路失败;终端设备在判断该一个或多个小区是否均全都没有识别出新的链路后,终端设备在第二资源发送第二部分内容或者确定在网络设备配置的第二资源是否发送信号。
通过上述实现方式,网络设备可以为终端设备配置一个资源或多个资源,该资源用于承载第一部分内容,该第一部分内容可以指示发生链路失败的一个小区标识,并且为发生链路失败小区配置一个第二资源,该第二资源用于承载第二部分内容,该第二部分内容可以指示发生链路失败的小区是否全都没有识别出新的链路,并将包括该第一部分内容和第二部分内容的第一指示信息上报给网络设备。网络设备可以获知发生链路失败的多个小区和该多个小区的新的链路识别的总体情况,使得网络设备可以及时根据该发生链路失败的多个小区的新的链路的总体识别情况,较早触发新的资源集合,从而降低链路失败恢复时延。
此外,相比于前述为每个Scell配置一个第二资源的技术方案,该实现方式通过为多个发生链路失败的Scell配置一个第二资源,上报发生链路失败的Scell是否全都没有识别出新的链路的指示信息,可以节省资源开销。或者说由于链路失败的多个小区共享一个第二资源指示第二部分内容,或者说由于链路失败的多个小区共享一个比特位指示第二部分内容,可以有效节省资源开销。
可选地,第一资源和第二资源可以是物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)。换言之,第一请求消息可以通过PUCCH发送给网络设备,本申请对此不做限定。
可选地,应理解示例一至示例八中通过显示方法上报的信息一般通过可以承载多个比特信息的PUCCH信道或PUSCH信道发送;可选地,应理解示例一至示例八中通过隐示方法上报的信息一般通过可以承载一个比特信息的PRACH信道或PUCCH信道或某些序 列承载(可以获得更好的可靠性,提高传输正确率)发送,还可以通过PRACH/PUCCH/PUSCH的不同时域/频域/码域资源发送。
304,网络设备根据第一请求信息或第一指示信息,确定发生链路失败的小区和或链路失败的小区的新的链路识别情况,生成下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)。
或者说,网络设备根据第一请求信息,确定发生链路失败的小区和或链路失败的小区的新的链路识别情况,生成第一请求消息的响应消息。
或者说,网络设备根据第一请求信息,生成第一请求消息的响应消息。
应理解,该第一请求消息的响应消息可以为下行控制信息。
可选地,该第一请求消息的响应消息可以用于指示PUSCH资源。
在一种可能的实施方式中,第一请求消息指示第一状态,该DCI用于指示第二参考信号的资源集合。
具体地,终端设备确定没有新的链路,并将发生链路失败的第一小区的标识上报给网络设备,网络设备可以重新为终端设备配置其他参考信号资源集合,即通过DCI为终端设备重新配置第二参考信号的资源集合。
可选地,该第二参考信号的资源集合可以包括周期的、非周期的或者半周期的参考信号,本申请对此不做限定。
应理解,本申请中的“第二参考信号的资源集合”可以包括第一小区上的参考信号资源,或者可以仅包括其他小区上的参考信号资源,或者可以包括第一小区的参考信号和其他小区的参考信号资源(也即该第二参考信号的资源集合可以包括多个小区的参考信号资源)。本申请实施例对此并不作限定。
应理解,本申请中,第二参考信号的资源集合可以是一个资源集合,还可以是多个参考信号资源集合。
在一种可能的实施方式中,若第一指示信息指示第一状态,则该DCI指示的是第二参考信号资源集合,或者该DCI默认关联第二参考信号资源集合;若第一指示信息指示第二状态,则该DCI默认关联第一参考信号资源集合。可选地终端设备在该DCI指示的资源上发送第二请求消息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该第二参考信号的资源集合可以不包括候选波束列表(candidate beam list)。在步骤302中,当配置有candidate beam list时,终端设备已经对该候选波束列表中的参考信号进行检测,确认没有识别出新的链路。因此,该第二参考信号的资源集合不包括该候选波束列表中的资源,可以避免终端设备再次进行检测,从而降低链路恢复的时延。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该DCI是在用于发送通信失败恢复响应的搜索空间集合(beam failure recovery search space,BFR search space)内和/或控制资源集合(CORESET)内的资源发送的。
上述方案在发送DCI的过程中,在网络设备发送BFRR的搜索空间集合和/或控制资源集合发送DCI,可以通过重传步骤继续链路恢复过程,提高链路恢复的可靠性。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该DCI是由链路失败恢复请求的无线网络临时标识(beam failure recovery-radio network temporary identifier,BFR-RNTI)加扰的。
上述方案网络设备向终端设备发送的DCI是经过BFR-RNTI加扰的,当终端设备接收到经过加扰的DCI之后,可以根据该加扰信息判断该DCI是用于链路恢复过程,可以减少终端设备的检测过程,从而降低链路恢复的时延,提高链路恢复可靠性。
可选地,该DCI还可以是经过小区无线网络临时标识(cell radio network temporary identifier,C-RNTI)加扰的,或者经过其他专用无线网络临时标识RNTI加扰的,本申请实施例对此并不作限定。
应理解,本步骤中,承载所述第一请求消息的响应消息的“第二资源”不同于步骤303中的“第二资源”。
305,网络设备向终端设备发送DCI,相应地,终端设备接收网络设备发送的DCI。应理解步骤304和步骤305可以是同一个步骤。
306,终端设备根据网络设备发送的DCI,确定第二参考信号的资源集合,并在第二参考信号的资源集合中识别新的链路信息。
具体地,终端设备接收网络设备发送的DCI,终端设备在该DCI指示的第二参考信号的资源集合中识别新的链路。
示例性的,在终端设备识别新的链路的过程中,当终端设备判断该第二参考信号的资源集合中有参考信号的信道质量信息大于或等于第二预设门限时,该终端设备可以将信道质量信息大于或等于第二预设门限的参考信号确定为新的链路。
可选地,这里的第二预设门限可以为链路恢复门限,也可以为重新配置的门限,本申请对此不做限定。
应理解,该第二预设门限可以为第一预设门限。
307,终端设备向网络设备发送第二请求消息,相应地,网络设备接收终端设备发送的第二请求消息,该第二请求消息包括第二指示信息,该第二指示信息用于指示终端设备识别出的新的链路的状态。
可选地,该第二请求消息可以是第二链路失败请求消息(BFRQ 2)。
在一种可能的实现方式中,在步骤306中,终端设备从第二参考信号的资源集合中确定出新的链路,该新的链路的信道质量信息大于或等于第二预设门限时,该第二指示信息可以包括终端设备识别出的新的链路的信息,并通过第二链路失败请求消息(BFRQ 2)上报给网络设备。
示例性的,第二指示信息的内容可以如下表5所示,其中,2bit的取值(value)用于指示发生链路失败的Scell的标识,每一个发生链路失败的Scell对应一个识别出的新的链路的信息,如beam 0、beam1等。
表5
取值(Scell的标识) 识别出新的链路信息
00 beam 0
10 beam 2
可选的,第二指示信息上报的新的链路的信息按照第一指示信息中指示的Scell的ID从小到大依次排列。
例如,如下表6所示,按照第一指示信息中上报的Scell的ID排列,一次为C1、C2 和C3,将识别出的波束也对应的按照Scell的ID顺序进行排列,即不需要再上报Scell的标识或者取值信息,只需要上报beam0、beam 1、beam2的信息即可,网络设备也可以准确的知道某个链路失败的Scell对应的新的链路,该方法可以节省资源开销。
表6
取值(Scell的标识) 识别出新的链路信息
C1 beam 0
C2 beam 1
C3 beam 2
在另一种可能的实现方式中,在步骤306中,终端设备从第二参考信号的资源集合中,确定没有新的链路满足条件,即第二参考信号的资源集合中的所有链路的信道质量信息小于第二预设门限时,该第二指示信息用于指示没有新的链路(no new beam state),并通过第二链路失败请求消息(BFRQ 2)上报给网络设备。再返回并循环执行步骤304、305、306,直到终端设备识别出新的链路。
示例性的,此时第二指示信息的内容可以如下表7所示,其中,2bit的取值(value)用于指示发生链路失败的Scell的标识,当一个发生链路失败的Scell没有识别出的新的链路时,上报no beam的指示信息,用于指示没有新的链路。
表7
取值(Scell的标识) 识别出新的链路信息
00 no beam
应理解,在终端设备循环执行步骤304、305、306识别新的链路的过程中,可以通过链路失败恢复计时器(beam failure recovery timer)和链路失败恢复计数器(beam failure recovery counter)进行监控。具体地,当终端设备确定no new beam state的次数大于或等于链路失败恢复计数器的最大值,仍然收不到BFRR,即可认为链路恢复失败;或者终端设备开始启动链路恢复的时长大于或等于所述恢复计时器的恢复时间,即可认为链路恢复失败,停止发送链路失败恢复请求消息(BFRQ)和/或恢复链路失败恢复计时器的计时、以及链路失败恢复计数器的计数。
或者,在步骤306中,终端设备从第二参考信号的资源集合中,确定没有新的链路满足条件,即第二参考信号的资源集合中的所有链路的信道质量信息小于第二预设门限时,该第二指示信息用于指示至少一个第一参考信号,并通过第二链路失败请求消息(BFRQ 2)上报给网络设备。
或者,在步骤306中,终端设备从第二参考信号的资源集合中,确定没有新的链路满足条件,即第二参考信号的资源集合中的所有链路的信道质量信息小于第二预设门限时,该第二指示信息用于指示至少一个第二参考信号,并通过第二链路失败请求消息(BFRQ 2)上报给网络设备。
或者,在步骤306中,终端设备从第一参考信号的资源集合中,确定没有新的链路满足条件,即第一参考信号的资源集合中的所有链路的信道质量信息小于第一预设门限时,该第二指示信息用于指示至少一个第二参考信号,并通过第二链路失败请求消息(BFRQ  2)上报给网络设备。
应理解,这里当网络设备没有为Scell配置链路恢复门限时,且终端设备在第二参考信号的资源集合中没有检测到新的链路,终端设备可以通过第二指示信息上报至少一个第一参考信号,该上报的至少一个第一参考信号是原集合内信道质量较好的参考信号,此时上报的至少一个第一参考信号的信道质量可以大于、等于或者小于第二预设门限,本申请对此不做限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中,步骤303中的第一请求消息和步骤307第二请求消息包括的内容为独立编码。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,步骤303中的第一请求消息和步骤307第二请求消息可以为同一个请求消息或不同的请求消息。换言之,该第一指示信息和第二指示信息可以通过同一个请求消息发送到网络设备,或者通过不同的请求消息发送到网络设备。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,步骤303中的第一请求消息和步骤307第二请求消息可以通过相同的信道发送,或者通过不同的信道发送,本申请对此不做限定。
示例性的,终端设备可以通过第一资源向网络设备发送第一请求消息,通过第二资源接收网络设备发送的DCI,在第三资源上接收所述第二请求消息的响应消息。可选地,第一资源可以是物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH),本申请对此不做限定。
应理解,本步骤中,该“第二资源”可以不同于步骤303中的“第二资源”。
在另一种实施方式中,若第一指示信息指示第一状态,则终端设备在预设的第四资源上上报第二参考信号资源集合中的K个第二参考信号的信息,该第二参考信号资源集合是默认的资源集合或者是预设的资源集合;若第一指示信息指示第二状态,则终端设备在预设的第四资源上上报第一参考信号资源集合中的K个第一参考信号的信息。应理解,该预设的第四资源可以是与第一资源和或第二资源关联的资源。该第四资源的配置信息通过广播信道、系统消息、更新的系统消息,层一信令(DCI)、高层信令(例如RRC或MAC-CE)中的一种信令或者多种信令构成的组合信令配置。或该第四资源与第一资源/第二资源的关联关系可以是通过广播信道、系统消息、更新的系统消息,层一信令(DCI)、高层信令(无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令或媒体接入控制单元(medium access control-control element,MAC-CE)信令)中的一种信令或者多种信令构成的组合信令配置。可选地,在该种实施方式中,可以不执行步骤304/305/306。
在一种可能的实现方式中,当第一指示信息用于指示终端设备没有识别出新的链路时,终端设备不生成第二指示信息且不发送第二指示信息,而是等待网络设备发送的用于重新配置资源集合的QCL,进行链路恢复,可以提高链路失败后恢复的概率。否则,当第一指示信息指示终端设备识别出新的链路时,终端设备生成第二指示信息并发送该第二指示信息,向网络设备上报识别出的新的链路。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,当第一指示信息指示终端设备没有识别出新的链路时,第二指示信息指示的参考信号可以是非周期的/周期的/半周期的参考信号资源集合(第二参考信号资源集合)等,或者某个默认的参考信号资源集合(例如用于波束管理BM的参考信号资源集合,或者是用于RRM测量的参考信号资源集合,或者是复用其他功能的某个参考信号资源集合);否则,当第一指示信息指示终端设备识别出新的链路时,第二指 示信息对应的参考信号是候选波束列表中对应的参考信号。
308,网络设备根据第二指示信息或第二请求消息,确定新的链路信息。
309,网络设备向终端设备发送链路失败恢复响应消息(BFRR),相应地,终端设备接收该链路失败恢复响应消息(BFRR)。
310,终端设备检测到链路失败恢复响应消息(BFRR),确认链路恢复成功。
具体地,终端设备根据步骤307中反馈第二指示信息中包括的新的链路的信息,检测BFRR。若终端设备检测到BFRR,则认为链路失败恢复成功;若终端设备检测不到BFRR,终端设备可以重新执行步骤303-307的过程,直到链路失败恢复成功。
应理解,在终端设备可以重新执行步骤303-307的过程中,可以通过链路失败恢复计时器(beam failure recovery timer)和链路失败恢复计数器(beam failure recovery counter)进行监控。具体地,当终端设备发送链路失败恢复请求的次数大于或等于链路失败恢复计数器的最大值,或者链路失败恢复时间超过预设时长,则认为链路失败恢复失败。
需要说明的是,本申请各实施例中,“小区标识”还可以替换为“小区索引”。参考信号信息可以包括参考信号索引/SSB的索引和或参考信号的质量/SSB的质量。
通过上述方案,当发生链路失败进行链路恢复时,如果终端设备确定没有识别出新的链路,终端设备可以将发生链路失败的小区标识和或每个小区是否识别到新的链路的信息上报给网络设备,网络设备可以根据该信息重新配置新的资源集合,并将该新的资源集合通过下行控制信息通知给终端设备,换言之,如通过DCI触发其他资源集合中的参考信号,并上报该资源集合中的参考信号,用于链路恢复,从而可以提高链路失败恢复概率,减小链路失败恢复时延,提高链路失败恢复可靠性。
应理解,在链路失败恢复过程中,可以包括以上介绍的全部步骤或者部分步骤,本申请对此不做限定。示例性的,通信系统可以执行步骤301,303,304,305,306,307,不执行302;或者,还可以执行步骤301,303,不执行中间的步骤,还可以不执行后面的步骤;又或者,还可以执行步骤301,303,307,不执行中间的步骤;又或者,还可以执行上述步骤中的一个或多个步骤,或者执行所有步骤。
需要说明的是,终端设备在步骤302确认没有新链路后可以在第二小区上检测DCI信息,确定新的参考信号资源集合,若终端设备确认有新链路后可以根据新链路在第一小区上检测响应信息。
图4是本申请实施例提供的又一例链路失败恢复的方法的示意性流程图。以Scell和终端设备之间链路失败为例,以终端设备和网络设备作为执行主体,对方法400的每个步骤进行详细说明。
作为示例而非限定,方法400的执行主体也可以是应用于终端设备的芯片和应用于网络设备的芯片,本申请对此不做限定。
401,终端设备检测当前链路的工作状态。例如,终端设备可以检测得到当前链路,确定当前链路失败。
402,终端设备确认没有新的链路。
403,终端设备向网络设备发送第一请求消息,相应地,网络设备接收终端设备发送的第一请求消息,该第一请求消息包括第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示终端设备没有新的链路。
404,网络设备根据第一指示信息,确定发生链路失败的小区和该小区的新的链路识别情况。
应理解,以上步骤401至404可参照方法300中的步骤301至304,为了简便,此处不再赘述。
405,网络设备向终端设备发送传输配置指示(transmission configuration indicator,TCI),相应地,终端设备接收网络设备发送的TCI。
具体地,当网络设备确定M个Scell为没有识别到新的链路的状态时,终端设备不检测链路失败恢复响应信息(BFRR),而是等待TCI重配信令,若收到该TCI重配信令则可以认为链路失败恢复成功,停止链路失败恢复时钟计时。
或者,若终端设备在链路失败恢复时钟超时之前,接收TCI重配信令,若接收到该信息则停止链路失败恢复时钟计时,否则若链路失败恢复时间超过预设时长,则认为链路失败恢复失败。
通过上述技术方案,在确认链路失败的小区识别不出新的链路后,终端设备不需要检测链路失败恢复响应信息,而是低功耗等待TCI重配信令,可以达到省电的效果。
需要说明的是,本申请各实施例中,第一小区可以是Scell,第二小区可以是Pcell或者是有上行资源的Scell。
