Description

一种信息传输方法、相关设备及系统 技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种信息传输方法、相关设备及系统。
背景技术
物联网(internet of things，IoT)是“物物相连的互联网”。它将互联网的用户端扩展到了任何物品与物品之间，进行信息交换和通信。这样的通信方式也称为机器间通信(machine type communication，MTC)，通信的节点称为MTC终端。典型的物联网应用包括智能电网、智能农业、智能交通、智能家居以及环境检测等各个方面。由于物联网需要应用在多种场景中比如从室外到室内，从地上到地下，因而对物联网的设计提出了很多特殊的要求。
许多MTC应用在覆盖较差的环境下，比如电表水表等通常安装在室内甚至地下室等无线网络信号很差的地方，因此需要覆盖增强技术来解决。窄带物联网(narrow band internet of thing，NB-IoT)系统目前下行针对覆盖增强的主要技术方案是重复。通过重复传输，接收侧做合并提升信噪比。下行除了窄带物理下行控制信道(narrowband physical downlink control channel，NPDCCH)可以支持频分复用(frequency division multiplexing，FDM)，窄带物理下行共享信道(narrowband physical downlink shared channel，NPDSCH)只支持时分复用(time division multiplexing，TDM)。
NB-IoT系统带宽为180kHz，NPDSCH传输占用的带宽为180kHz，NPDCCH传输占用的带宽为90kHz或者180kHz。如图1中NPDCCH和NPDSCH之间的带箭头的曲线示意调度，表示箭头指向的NPDSCH是由无箭头一端的NPDCCH调度的。从图1可以看出，不同用户之间的NPDCCH或者NPDSCH，或者同一个用户的NPDCCH和NPDSCH之间是TDM的。如图1所示UE1的NPDCCH和UE1的NPDSCH之间是TDM的，UE1的NPDCCH和UE2的NPDCCH之间是TDM的，UE1的NPDSCH和UE2的NPDSCH之间是TDM的。
现有技术中，NPDSCH只支持TDM，对于同频组网，下行传输需要大量重复或者占用较长时间时，小区间干扰会比较严重。因此，如何减少下行传输的时长进而降低小区间干扰是目前需要解决的技术问题。

本申请实施例中，网络设备101可以向终端设备102发送参考信号(reference signal，RS)。其中，RS可以包括但不限于：小区特定参考信号(cell-specific reference signal，CRS)或信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal，CSI-RS)。
示例性的，下述各个实施例中所提及的第一通信设备可以为图2所示实施例中的网络设备101，第二通信设备可以为图2所示实施例中的终端设备102。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中的术语“系统”和“网络”可被互换使用。“多个”是指两个或两个以上，鉴于此，本申请实施例中也可以将“多个”理解为“至少两个”。“和/或”，描述关联对象的关联关系，表示可以存在三种关系，例如，A和/或B，可以表示：单独存在A，同时存在A和B，单独存在B这三种情况。另外，字符“/”，如无特殊说明，一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
下面对本申请中涉及的载波、RB、子载波的概念进行说明。载波是指频域上一段连续的资源。示例地，载波的带宽可以为180kHz、200kHz、360kHz、720kHz、1.4MHz、3MHz、5MHz、10MHz、15MHz、20MHz、25MHz、30MHz、40MHz、50MHz、60MHz、80MHz、100MHz、200MHz或者400MHz。在LTE中，一个RB包括时域上一个子帧(例如14个符号(symbol))，频域上12个子载波(Subcarrier，SC)。在NR中，一个RB包括12个子载波。例如，一个子载波的带宽为15kHz，则一个RB的带宽为180kHz，或者，一个子载波的带宽为30kHz，则一个RB的带宽为360kHz。
下面对本申请中涉及的部署模式进行说明。
以NB-IoT系统为例，NB-IoT支持独立部署(standalone operation)、保护带部署(guardband operation)、带内部署(in-band operation)三种部署模式工作。其中，
独立部署：利用独立的频带，比如利用GSM网络一个或者多个载波，来传输NB-IoT。
保护带部署：利用E-UTRA载波保护带中未利用的一个或多个资源块来传输NB-IoT，其中一个资源块的带宽为180kHz。
带内部署：利用一个正常的E-UTRA载波内的一个或多个资源块来传输NB-IoT，其中一个资源块的带宽为180kHz。
结合图3来描述三种部署模式的资源映射图样。参见图3，为一个RB(以时域上14个symbol，频域上12个子载波示意)内三种部署模式参考信号的资源位置示意图，图3中的一个白色小方格表示可用于数据符号映射的资源单元(resource element，RE)，或称可用于资源映射的RE。对于独立部署和保护带部署模式，在图3的左边示例中，时域上一个子帧，频域上一个RB内可用于数据符号映射的RE数为12*14-8*2＝152个。对于带内部署模式，在图3的右边示例中，时域上一个子帧，频域上一个RB内可用于数据符号映射的RE数最多为12*14-3*12-4*4-8*2＝100个。
需要说明的是，上述三种部署模式只是一个示例。保护带部署可以是利用已有通信系统的保护带中未利用的频率资源，带内部署可以是利用已有通信系统载波内的频率资源，比如占用已有通信系统中部分传输带宽的资源。这里的已有系统可以是NR或者LTE或者或者UMTS或者GSM。
NB-IoT系统目前下行针对覆盖增强的主要技术方案是重复。下行除了NPDCCH可以支持FDM，NPDSCH只支持TDM。对于同频组网，或者下行传输需要大量重复或者占用较长时间时，小区间干扰会比较严重。本申请主要提出一种跳频方案，通过频率分集可以提升覆盖性能，减少下行传输的时长，同时针对跳频发生在不同部署模式的载波上时，提出一种资源映射方法，降低终端设备合并译码的复杂度。
基于前述无线通信系统100，本发明实施例提供了一种信息传输方法。参见图4，该信息传输方法包括但不限于如下步骤：
S401：第一通信设备确定N个频率单元，N个频率单元采用跳频模式，频率单元包括M个载波或M个资源块RB或M个子载波，N为大于1的正整数，M为正整数。
S402：第一通信设备向第二通信设备发送N个配置信息，第二通信设备接收第一通信设备发送的N个配置信息，N个配置信息与N个频率单元一一对应，N个配置信息分别包括与其对应的频率单元的频域位置信息。
S403：第二通信设备根据上述N个配置信息确定N个频域单元的频域位置。
S404：第一通信设备在上述N个频率单元上向第二通信设备发送数据，第二通信设备从该N个频率单元接收第一通信设备发送的数据。
其中，例如，N可以为2或者3或者4或者5或者6等大于等于2的正整数。
其中，这里的数据为泛指，包括业务数据和/或信令。信令可以是下行控制信令或上行控制信令。例如，该数据可以包括PDSCH、PDCCH、NPDSCH、NPDCCH等。
本发明实施例中，第一通信设备可以是网络设备(例如基站)，第二通信设备可以是终端(例如MTC终端)。
需要说明的是，上述N个频率单元用于向第二通信设备传输数据符号。针对不同的终端，N的数量可以相同，也可以不相同。例如，对于UE1，用于映射数据符号的频率单元的数量为2，而对于UE2，用于映射数据符号的频率单元的数量为3。
可选的，每个频率单元包括连续的一个或多个载波，或者包括连续的一个或多个 (resource block，RB)，或者包括连续的一个或多个子载波(Subcarrier)，或者包括连续的一个或多个窄带(narrow band，NB)，或者包括连续的一个或多个子带(Subband)。例如参见图5所示，频率单元0和频率单元1的带宽均为1个RB，UE1的PDSCH在频率单元0和频率单元1上进行跳频，且跳频顺序为：频率单元0、频率单元1。UE2的PDSCH也在频率单元0和频率单元1上进行跳频，且跳频顺序为：频率单元1、频率单元0。
关于频域跳频图案，从起始跳频的频率单元开始，后续如何跳频可以是按照预设顺序，比如可以约定从起始跳频的频率单元开始，按照配置的频率单元索引顺序进行跳频，也可以是按照上述配置信息中配置的顺序进行跳频。例如，上述配置信息除了包括与其对应的频率单元的频域位置信息以外，还需要包括频域跳频顺序，以指示上述N个频率单元的跳频顺序，如图5所示，网络设备发送给UE1两个配置信息，其中一个配置信息包括频率单元0的频域位置信息，另一个配置信息包括频率单元1的频域位置信息，此外，这两个配置信息中的一个或两个配置信息中还包括UE1的跳频顺序，且跳频顺序为：频率单元0、频率单元1。网络设备发送给UE2两个配置信息，其中一个配置信息包括频率单元0的频域位置信息，另一个配置信息包括频率单元1的频域位置信息，此外，这两个配置信息中的一个或两个配置信息中还包括UE2的跳频顺序，且跳频顺序为：频率单元1、频率单元0。
可选的，上述N个频率单元中不同的频率单元的带宽可以相同，也可以不同，本申请对此不进行限定。如图5所示，以各个频率单元的带宽相同为例，频率单元0和频率单元1均包括1个RB，且带宽均为180kHz。或者，频率单元0和频率单元1均包括1个RB，且频率单元0的带宽为180kHz，频率单元1的带宽为360kHz。
可选的，上述N个频率单元中不同的频率单元的子载波间隔可以相同，也可以不同，本申请对此不进行限定。如图5所示，以各个频率单元的子载波间隔相同为例，频率单元0和频率单元1均包括1个RB，且子载波间隔均为15kHz。或者，频率单元0和频率单元1均包括1个RB，且频率单元0的子载波间隔为15kHz，频率单元1的子载波间隔为30kHz。
可选的，上述N个频率单元占用不连续的频域资源，也即是说，上述N个频率单元在频域上各不相邻，即N个频率单元中的任意两个频率单元在频域上都不相邻。N个频率单元中的任意两个频率单元在频域上可以间隔若干个子载波，或者若干个RB，或者若干个载波。例如图5中，频率单元0和频率单元1在频域上不相邻，且频率单元0和频率单元1间隔1个RB。
可选的，上述N个频率单元占用连续的频域资源，也即是说，上述N个频率单元在频域上相邻。例如图5中，频率单元0和频率单元1在频域上相邻。当然，上述N个频率单元在频域上也可以是部分相邻，部分不相邻，本申请对此不限定。
可选的，第一通信设备还可以向第二通信设备发送指示信息，该指示信息用于指示上述N个频率单元的时域跳频间隔。时域跳频间隔的含义可以为时域上不发生跳频的时长，也可以为时域上相邻的两次跳频之间间隔的时长。例如，可以只配置一个公共的时域跳频间隔，N个频率单元的时域跳频间隔都等于该公共的时域跳频间隔。该指示信息和上述N个配置信息可以通过同一个消息发送给终端，也可以通过不同的消息分别发送给终端。例如，可以承载在系统消息(system information block，SIB)、无线资源控制(radio resource  control，RRC)消息、媒体接入控制控制单元(media access control control element，MAC CE)消息或者下行控制信息(downlink control information，DCI)中。例如，该指示信息和上述N个配置信息通过系统消息或RRC消息一并发送给UE，也可以通过系统消息或RRC消息将上述N个配置信息发送给UE，再通过DCI将指示信息发送给UE。当然，还可以在协议中预先定义时域跳频间隔，则无需网络设备向终端发送上述N个频率单元的时域跳频间隔，节省信令开销。这种情况，各个频率单元的时域跳频间隔相同。
可选的，时域跳频间隔可以为子帧的整数倍或时隙的整数倍或符号的整数倍。本申请以时域跳频间隔可以为子帧的整数倍为例进行说明。
可选的，上述N个频率单元中不同的频率单元的时域跳频间隔可以相同，也可以不同，本申请对此不进行限定。如图5所示，以各个频率单元的时域跳频间隔相同为例，频率单元0和频率单元1均包括1个RB，且时域跳频间隔均为1个子帧。或者，频率单元0和频率单元1均包括1个RB，且频率单元0的时域跳频间隔为1个子帧，频率单元1的时域跳频间隔为2个子帧。
可选的，第一通信设备还可以向第二通信设备发送指示信息，该指示信息用于指示上述N个频率单元中每个频率单元的时域跳频间隔。例如上述N个频率单元中每个频率单元的时域跳频间隔可以独立配置，比如N个频率单元中的每个频率单元对应一个时域跳频间隔，也即是说，一共需要配置N个时域跳频间隔。
需要说明的是，上述N个频率单元进行跳频的起始时间可以为帧0、子帧0。可以由协议预先定义好时域跳频的起始位置，则网络设备无需向终端发送时域跳频的起始位置。
参见图6，若UE2在时刻t1才收到网络设备发送的时域跳频间隔，则UE2自行根据当前子帧的位置以及时域跳频间隔计算跳频位置，在时刻t1至时刻t2之间在频率单元1上接收数据，在时刻t2进行跳频，切换至从频率单元0接收数据，以此类推。
上述频率单元的频域位置信息可以包括频率单元的绝对频点号，或者频率单元的绝对频点号+偏置信息，或者频率单元的起始频点+终止频点，或者频率单元的起始频点+带宽，或者包括频率单元的终止频点+带宽。如图5所示，频率单元0的带宽为1个RB，且频率单元0的频域位置为RB0，频率单元1的带宽为1个RB，且频率单元1的频域位置为RB2，则网络设备向UE1发送的2个配置信息分别包括RB0和RB2的索引号或者绝对频点号，以指示UE1的PDSCH跳频所占用的频域资源。
可选的，上述N个配置信息中的每个配置信息还可以包括以下信息中至少一项：部署模式、天线端口数、参考信号的映射位置、参考信号的映射RE数、参考信号的类型、有效子帧配置、下行间隔(DL gap)配置。终端设备根据配置信息即可确定出映射图样，进而可以从上述N个频率单元中用于映射数据符号的RE接收数据符号。
实施图4所示方法实施例，网络设备向终端设备发送多个频率单元的配置信息，多个频率单元的带宽、频域位置、时域跳频间隔均可以灵活配置，不局限于窄带跳频，且不局限于系统带宽。终端设备的数据在这多个频率单元之间跳频，可以利用跳频的频率分集增益提升覆盖性能，减少时域传输时长，从而降低小区间干扰。
在实施例一中，上述N个频率单元满足以下至少一项：部署模式相同；参考信号的天线端口数相同；一个子帧或者一个时隙或者一个子帧的第一个时隙内用于数据传输的起始 符号位置相同。其中，部署模式包括独立部署模式、保护带部署模式或带内部署模式。这是为了保障上述N个频率单元的数据符号映射图样相同。
上述实施例中，多个频率单元之间约束满足以下至少一项：采用相同部署模式，参考信号的天线端口数相同，一个子帧内或者一个时隙内或者一个子帧的第一个时隙内用于数据传输的起始符号位置相同，可以保证不同频率单元上可用于数据符号资源映射的RE数相同，，在多个频率单元上使用子帧级重复或者一个传输块需要映射到多个频率单元上的子帧时，可以采用相同的速率匹配方式，进而减少终端设备进行合并译码的复杂度。其中子帧级重复的好处是可以直接复数符号合并，提升性能，另外可以两个子帧上传输的符号完全相同，可以通过差分运算提升频偏估计的精度。
其中，参考信号可以包括用于数据信道的解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal，DMRS)、用于控制信道的解调参考信号、定位参考信号(positioning reference signal，PRS)、信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information-reference signal，CSI-RS)、唤醒信号(wake up signal，WUS)、相位跟踪参考信号(phase-tracking reference signal，PTRS)、小区特定参考信号(cell-specific reference signals，CRS)、窄带参考信号(narrowband reference signal，NRS)、窄带定位参考信号(narrowband positioning reference signal)、窄带唤醒信号(narrowband wake up signal，NWUS)、或者MTC唤醒信号(MTC wake up signal，MWUS)。
实施本发明实施例一，终端设备接收到多个频率单元的配置信息，多个频率单元的带宽、频域位置、时域跳频间隔均可以灵活配置。终端设备的数据在这多个频率单元之间跳频，可以利用跳频的频率分集增益提升覆盖性能，减少时域传输时长，从而降低小区间干扰。多个频率单元之间约束满足以下至少一项：采用相同部署模式，参考信号的天线端口数相同，一个子帧内或者一个时隙内或者一个子帧的第一个时隙内用于数据传输的起始符号位置相同，可以保证不同频率单元上可用于数据符号资源映射的RE数相同，，在多个频率单元上使用子帧级重复或者一个传输块需要映射到多个频率单元上的子帧时，可以采用相同的速率匹配方式，进而减少终端设备进行合并译码的复杂度。
在实施例二中，上述N个频率单元的部署模式可以不同，或者，上述N个频率单元上参考信号的天线端口数可以不同，或者，上述N个频率单元在一个子帧内或者一个时隙内或者一个子帧的第一个时隙内用于数据传输的起始符号位置可以不同。这种方式对于网络部署来说可以在多个不同系统之间部署，更加灵活，但是不同频率单元上可用于数据符号资源映射的RE数可能不同，在多个频率单元上使用子帧级重复或者一个传输块需要映射到多个频率单元上的子帧时，，终端设备需要可以采用不同的速率匹配方式，这样会增加终端设备合并译码的复杂度。为解决降低接收端合并译码的复杂度，本发明实施例提供了如下三种解决方式。
方式一：可以按照一个子帧内可用RE(可用于映射数据符号的RE)数较多的频率单元作为基准，RE数较少的频率单元puncture该频率单元中不可以用于数据符号传输的RE处映射的数据符号。这里，puncture是指被计算但未在映射中使用。如图7所示，频率单元0可用RE数相较于频率单元1可用RE数较多，则以频率单元0为基准，频率单元1按照频率单元0中可用RE的图案进行数据符号映射。图7中示出了一个子帧内可用RE的编号，可以看出通过这种方式，频率单元0和频率单元1便于进行子帧级重复，接收端可以 对频率单元0和频率单元1上RE的索引相同的部分进行合并接收。
方式二：可以按照一个子帧内可用RE(可用于映射数据符号的RE)数较少的频率单元作为基准，不同频率单元按照这个基准进行资源映射。如图8所示，频率单元1可用RE数相较于频率单元0较少，则以频率单元1为基准，频率单元0按照频率单元1中可用RE的图案进行映射，频率单元0在一个子帧内可用于传输数据符号的RE的位置及数量和频率单元1在一个子帧内可用于传输数据符号的RE的位置及数量相同。可以看出相较于方式一，方式二中频率单元0中实际进行数据符号映射使用的RE数变少了。图8中画了一个子帧内可用RE的编号，可以看出通过这种方式，频率单元0和频率单元1便于进行子帧级重复，频率单元0和频率单元1上RE的索引完全相同，因此接收端可以对频率单元0和频率单元1上RE的索引相同的部分进行合并接收。
方式三：为保证子帧级重复在一个频率单元上完成，可将用于传输相同数据符号的连续K个子帧映射在同一频率单元上。例如当子帧级重复需要跨频率单元时，可以延长时域跳频间隔来解决，以保障用于传输相同数据符号的连续K个子帧映射在同一频率单元上，这样接收端可以在同一频率单元上对至少两个子帧传输的相同数据符号进行合并接收。这种情况下，网络设备可以向终端通知偏置信息，以指示延长后的时域跳频间隔。
实施本发明实施例二，终端设备接收到多个频率单元的配置信息，多个频率单元的带宽、频域位置、时域跳频间隔均可以灵活配置。终端设备的数据在这多个频率单元之间跳频，可以利用跳频的频率分集增益提升覆盖性能，减少时域传输时长，从而降低小区间干扰。对多个频率单元的部署模式，多个频率单元上参考信号的天线端口数，多个频率单元在一个子帧内或者一个时隙内或者一个子帧的第一个时隙内用于数据传输的起始符号位置没有约束，可以增加网络部署灵活性，通过对资源映射方式或者时域跳频间隔的约束，降低了子帧级重复复杂度以及终端设备合并译码的复杂度。
需要说明的是，上述实施例中所提及的“子帧”可以是有效子帧。有效子帧的定义和具体的通信系统有关。
以NB-IoT系统为例，有效子帧可称为NB-IoT下行子帧(NB-IoT DL subframe)。在以下情形中，NB-IoT系统中的终端设备应当假设一个子帧为NB-IoT下行子帧：
比如，终端设备确定不包括窄带主同步信号(narrowband primary synchronization signal，NPSS)，或者窄带辅同步信号(narrowband secondary synchronization signal，NSSS)，或者窄带物理广播信道(narrowband physical broadcast channel，NPBCH)，或者NB系统信息块类型(systemInformation block type1-NB)传输的子帧为NB-IoT下行子帧。
或者，终端设备接收配置参数，该配置参数用于配置NB-IoT下行子帧。进而，终端设备根据该配置参数，可以确定NB-IoT下行子帧。其中，该配置参数可以通过系统消息或者RRC信令配置，本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
以eMTC系统为例，有效子帧可称为带宽减少低复杂度或者覆盖增强(bandwidth-reduced Low-complexity or coverage enhanced，BL/CE)下行子帧。其中，BL/CE下行子帧可以通过配置参数进行配置，该配置参数通过系统消息或者RRC信令配置。
