本申请实施例结合终端设备和网络设备描述了各个实施例,其中:终端设备也可以称为用户设备(User Equipment,UE)、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置等。终端设备可以是WLAN中的站点(STAION,ST),可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(Session Initiation Protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)设备、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及下一代通信系统,例如,NR网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)网络中的终端设备等。
作为示例而非限定,在本申请实施例中,该终端设备还可以是可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备,是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称,如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上,或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备,更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能,例如:智能手表或智能眼镜等,以及只专注于某一类应用功能,需要和其它设备如智能手机配合使用,如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能首饰等。
网络设备可以是用于与移动设备通信的设备,网络设备可以是WLAN中的接入点(Access Point,AP),GSM或CDMA中的基站(Base Transceiver Station,BTS),也可以是WCDMA中的基站(NodeB,NB),还可以是LTE中的演进型基站(Evolutional Node B,eNB或eNodeB),或者中继站或接入 点,或者车载设备、可穿戴设备以及NR网络中的网络设备(gNB)或者未来演进的PLMN网络中的网络设备等。
在本申请实施例中,网络设备为小区提供服务,终端设备通过该小区使用的传输资源(例如,频域资源,或者说,频谱资源)与网络设备进行通信,该小区可以是网络设备(例如基站)对应的小区,小区可以属于宏基站,也可以属于小小区(Small cell)对应的基站,这里的小小区可以包括:城市小区(Metro cell)、微小区(Micro cell)、微微小区(Pico cell)、毫微微小区(Femto cell)等,这些小小区具有覆盖范围小、发射功率低的特点,适用于提供高速率的数据传输服务。
NR系统中,系统带宽与终端带宽可能都会达到数百MHz甚至数GHz的带宽以支持高速移动数据传输,但在实际数据传输时,并非时时刻刻都需要如此大的带宽。例如,在仅需支持低数据速率传输的工作场景时(如微信聊天),终端仅需要采用较小的工作带宽,例如10MHz的带宽就已经足够。为了灵活支持上述不同场景的不同带宽需求,5G引入了BWP的概念。BWP可以是系统带宽的一部分,例如系统带宽为100MHz,终端可以采用小于100MHz的带宽,例如20、50MHz的带宽部分在系统带宽内部进行数据传输。NR支持向终端同时配置最多4个BWP,不同的BWP可以具有不同的带宽大小、不同的频率位置以及不同的子载波间隔。网络可以根据终端的业务需求使得终端在多个BWP之间进行切换,例如较高业务速率传输时,使用较大带宽的BWP,较小的业务数据速率传输时使用较小带宽的BWP。
目前NR系统支持如下两个BWP切换方式:
方式一,通过下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)方式对终端的BWP进行切换,网络在对终端进行数据调度的DCI中携带BWP指示域(Bandwidth part indicator),在需要对终端的BWP进行切换时,网络在向终端发送的DCI中的BWP指示域中指示与终端当前所在的BWP不同的BWP的,终端收到该BWP后执行BWP的切换。
方式二,基于定时器(timer)的方式来控制BWP的切换,终端在当前BWP每接收到一次物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)调度,则所述timer重置,此后持续计时,当所述timer超时时,终端切换至缺省(default)BWP。
在NR系统中,考虑采用卫星通信为用户提供通信服务,多色部署为通信卫星部署的典型方式,多色部署可以有效避免相邻两个波束之间的干扰问题。然而,基于NR系统的卫星通信,如果采用多色部署,可能会带来一些新的问题。对于近地轨道卫星,由于卫星的移动速度很快,终端设备在一个波束的停留时间可能仅仅有几秒钟至数十秒钟,因此,终端设备面临快速的波束切换;另一方面,多色部署情况下,相邻的波束采用了不同的频率,因此波束切换也会导致频率的切换。对于处于连接态的NR终端,工作频率的切换可能意味着需要对终端的BWP进行切换。对应上述卫星通信的场景,卫星通信的波束切换时,终端的可能从对应原波束的工作频率的BWP切换至对应新波束的工作频率的另一BWP。例如,如图2所示,假设终端当前位于波束4中(采用频率F4,假设对应BWP1),卫星波束按照箭头与线段所示方向移动,那么终端后续分别被采用工作频率F1和F4,F1假设对应BWP2,以及终端后续分别需要从F4的BWP1切换至F1的BWP2,在从F1的BWP2切换至F4的BWP1…。由此可见,卫星波束的切换导致了终端的BWP的频繁被动切换。
基于timer的方式无法应用于卫星波束的切换导致BWP的频繁被动切换的场景,
其一,波束切换的时间与timer超时的时间无法确保一致;其二,波束切换期望切换至的BWP不一定是default BWP。
基于DCI的BWP切换方式也无法应用于卫星波束的切换导致BWP的频繁被动切换的场景,
其一,波束的切换导致波束中服务的终端都需要进行BWP切换,不管在波束切换时终端有没有数据传输都需要发送BWP切换的DCI,这会导致DCI开销问题,在用户较多时,还可能导致DCI不足的情况;
其二,BWP切换前,终端需要上报测量结果,网络根据终端测量结果的变化,判断波束是否发生变化,是否进行BWP切换。当判断需要BWP切换时,向终端发送BWP切换的DCI,这一过程中,如果由于原波束信号的快速变弱导致终端不能及时正确的上报测量结果,则网络不能正确判断是否进行BWP切换,进而导致BWP切换的延误,影响终端的正常通信。
基于上述问题,本申请提出一种终端设备基于下行参考信号的测量,自主切换下行BWP和/或上行BWP的方案,满足卫星通信中由于卫星波束的快速切换导致的BWP快速切换的需求,可以有效节省网络侧的DCI开销,且由于减少了基于终端上报进行的切换流程,可以保证更加及时的BWP切换。
以下详细阐述本申请针对上述技术问题而设计的BWP切换方案。
图3是根据本申请实施例的BWP切换方法200的示意性流程图,如图3所示,该方法200可以 包括如下内容:
S210,终端设备测量多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号;
S220,该终端设备根据该多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号的测量结果,确定是否从第一下行BWP切换至第二下行BWP,其中,该第一下行BWP为激活的BWP,该第一下行BWP和该第二下行BWP属于该多个下行BWP。
可选地,该多个下行BWP可以分别对应卫星通信中多色部署场景下的一个频率。例如,多色部署场景下的卫星通信采用4个不同的频率进行对地面进行覆盖,4个频率分别记为F1、F2、F3和F4,以及F1对应BWP1,F2对应BWP2,F3对应BWP3,F4对应BWP4。
需要说明的是,该多个下行BWP可以是网络设备配置的,且该多个下行BWP的数量小于或者等于4,每一个下行BWP分别位于一个卫星波束所对应的载波带宽中。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,该多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号包括同步信号块或者信道状态信息参考信号(Channel State Information Reference Signal,CSI-RS)。该同步信号块可以是同步信号块(Synchronization Signal Block,SSB)或者物理层广播信道(Physical Broadcast Channel,PBCH)信号块。
需要说明的是,该多个下行BWP中每个下行BWP对应一个下行参考信号。即该多个下行BWP与该多个下行参考信号一一对应。当然,该多个下行BWP与该多个下行参考信号的对应关系也可以是多对一的,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选地,该多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号为预设的,或者,该多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号为网络设备预先通过信令配置的。
例如,网络设备预先通过信令向终端设备发送第一配置信息,该第一配置信息用于配置该多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,该测量结果包括但不限于以下中的至少一种:
BWP所对应的参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Receiving Power,RSRP),BWP所对应的参考信号接收质量(Reference Signal Receiving Quality,RSRQ),BWP所对应的参考信号载波干扰噪声比(Reference Signal Carrier to Interference plus Noise Ratio,RS-SINR),BWP所对应的信道质量指示(Channel Quantity Indicator,CQI)。
可选地,上述步骤S210具体可以是:
该终端设备周期性测量该多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号。
可选地,该多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号的测量周期为预设的,或者,该多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号的测量周期为网络设备通过信令预先配置的。
例如,网络设备预先通过信令向终端设备发送第二配置信息,该第二配置信息用于配置该多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号的测量周期。
需要说明的是,终端设备可以基于对多个卫星波束对应的多个下行BWP所分别对应的下行参考信号的周期性测量,评估各个下行BWP信号强度的变化趋势,进而判断卫星波束的切换趋势,如图4所示,随着卫星的快速移动,波束1的下行BWP所对应的RSRP信号强度在逐渐下降,而波束2的下行BWP所对应的RSRP信号强度在逐渐上升。因此,终端设备可基于多个下行BWP的测量结果之间的相对关系进行下行BWP的切换。
可选地,该第二下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果在该多个下行BWP中对应的多个下行参考信号的测量结果中最大。
可选地,上述步骤S220具体可以是:
若该第二下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果大于该第一下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果,该终端设备从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP。
当然,若该第二下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果小于或者等于该第一下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果,该终端设备不从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP。
例如,该多个下行BWP包括下行BWP1、下行BWP2、下行BWP3和下行BWP4,下行BWP1为激活BWP,该下行BWP1所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果为A,该下行BWP2所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果为B,该下行BWP3所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果为C,该下行BWP4所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果为D。若B大于A,该终端设备确定从下行BWP1切换至下行BWP2;若C大于A,该终端设备确定从下行BWP1切换至下行BWP3;若D大于A,该终端设备确定从下行BWP1切换至下行BWP4。若B和C都大于A,且C大于B,该终端设备确定从下行BWP1切换至下行BWP3。
可选地,上述步骤S220具体可以是:
若该第二下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果与该第一下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果的差值大于第一阈值,该终端设备从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP。
当然,若该第二下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果与该第一下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果的差值小于或者等于第一阈值,该终端设备不从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP。
应理解,该第二下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果与该第一下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果的差值,可以理解为,该第二下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果减去该第一下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果的差值。
可选地,该第一阈值为预设的,或者,该第一阈值为网络设备通过信令预先配置的。
例如,网络设备预先通过信令向终端设备发送第三配置信息,该第三配置信息用于配置该第一阈值。
例如,该多个下行BWP包括下行BWP1、下行BWP2、下行BWP3和下行BWP4,下行BWP1为激活BWP,该下行BWP1所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果为A,该下行BWP2所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果为B,该下行BWP3所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果为C,该下行BWP4所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果为D。若B-A>第一阈值,该终端设备确定从下行BWP1切换至下行BWP2;若C-A>第一阈值,该终端设备确定从下行BWP1切换至下行BWP3;若D-A>第一阈值,该终端设备确定从下行BWP1切换至下行BWP4。若B-A>第一阈值,C-A>第一阈值,且C>B,该终端设备确定从下行BWP1切换至下行BWP3。
在本申请实施例中,卫星波束的变化不但会导致下行频率的变化和下行BWP的变化,也会导致上行频率变化和上行BWP的切换。因此,为了确保上行BWP与下行BWP都正确是进行切换,可以将卫星波束的上行BWP与下行BWP进行关联,例如在频分双工(Frequency Division Duplexing)频段,将上行BWP与下行BWP进行关联。当卫星的下行BWP发生切换时,其对应的上行BWP也发生相对应的切换。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,在该终端设备确定是否进行下行BWP切换之后,该终端设备还可以确定是否进行上行BWP切换。
可选地,若该终端设备确定从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP,该终端设备可以根据第三对应关系,确定从该第一下行BWP对应的上行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP,其中,该第三对应关系为该多个下行BWP与多个上行BWP的对应关系。

可选地,该第三对应关系为预设的,或者,该第三对应关系为网络设备通过信令预先配置的。
例如,网络设备预先通过信令向终端设备发送第四配置信息,该第四配置信息用于配置该第三对应关系。
在本申请实施例中,由于是终端设备自主的进行上行BWP和/或下行BWP的切换,网络设备未知终端设备的BWP切换情况,为保证网络设备与终端设备的正确通信,终端设备需要及时将BWP切换的情况向网络设备上报。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,若终端设备确定从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP,以及在该终端设备从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP之前,该终端设备向该网络设备发送第一上行信号,以指示该第二下行BWP的信息,和/或,指示该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP的信息。

例如,该第一对应关系可以如下表2或者表3所示。

可选地,该第一上行信号为以下中的一种:
随机接入前导码(preamble)、专用的调度请求(Scheduling Request,SR)、专用的探测参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal,SRS)、媒体接入控制控制元素(Media Access Control Control Element,MAC CE)信令或者无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)消息。
可选地,该终端设备接收网络设备发送的所述第一上行信号的配置信息。从而,可以确定该第一上行信号和发送该第一上行信号的资源。
例如,在该第一下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果小于第二阈值的情况下,该终端设备接收网络设备发送的该第一上行信号的配置信息。即在条件触发之后,该网络设备才会发送该第一上行信号的配置信息。
可选地,该第二阈值可以是预设的,也可以是网络设备通过信令预先配置的。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,若该终端设备确定从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP,以及在该终端设备从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP之后,该终端设备向网络设备发送第二上行信号,以指示该第二下行BWP的信息,和/或,指示该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP的信息。
可选地,该第二上行信号包括该第二下行BWP的索引信息和/或该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP的索引信息。即该终端设备可以通过该第二下行BWP的索引信息显式指示该终端设备从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP。进一步地,由于下行BWP与上行BWP之间存在上述第三对应关系,即该终端设备也可以通过该第二下行BWP的索引信息显式指示该终端设备从该第一下行BWP对应的上行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP。
可选地,该终端设备在该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP上发送该第二上行信号。即该终端设备可以通过在该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP上发送该第二上行信号,隐式指示该终端设备从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP,以及隐式指示该终端设备从该第一下行BWP对应的上行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP。
可选地,该终端设备根据第二对应关系,在该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP上发送该第二上行信号,其中,该第二上行信号对应该第二下行BWP的索引信息,该第二对应关系为多个上行信息与该多个下行BWP的索引之间的对应关系,该多个上行信息包括该第二上行信号。
即该终端设备可以通过该第二上行信号的发送隐式指示该终端设备从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP。进一步地,由于下行BWP与上行BWP之间存在上述第三对应关系,即该终端设备也可以通过该第二上行信号的发送隐式指示该终端设备从该第一下行BWP对应的上行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP。
例如,该第二对应关系可以如上表4或者表5所示。

可选地,该第二对应关系为预设的,或者,该第二对应关系为网络设备通过信令预先配置的。
例如,网络设备预先通过信令向终端设备发送第六配置信息,该第六配置信息用于配置该第二对应关系。
可选地,该第二上行信号为以下中的一种:
随机接入前导码、专用的SR、专用的SRS、MAC CE信令或者RRC消息。
可选地,该终端设备接收该第二上行信号的配置信息。从而,可以确定该第二上行信号和发送该第二上行信号的资源。
例如,在该第一下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果小于第三阈值的情况下,该终端设备接收该第二上行信号的配置信息。即在条件触发之后,该网络设备才会发送该第二上行信号的配置信息。
在本申请实施例中,由于网络设备所配置的第二上行信号不能确保在每一个上行时隙中均出现,因此,终端设备确定可进行BWP切换的时间点与该第二上行信号的发送时间点可能存在一定的间隔。如果终端设备在确定可进行BWP切换的时间即执行BWP切换,则可能导致在BWP切换的时间点与该第二上行信号的发送时间点之间存在一定的时间间隔,该时间间隔内网络设备与终端设备对当前工作的BWP的理解不一致。因此,为了保持网络设备与终端设备对激活BWP的理解一致性,终端设备需要在向网络设备发送该第二上行信号之前间隔一个时段开始执行BWP切换。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,该终端设备从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP的开始时间与发送该第二上行信号的开始时间之间间隔第一时长。例如,如图5所示,该终端设备在T1时刻确定从下行BWP 1切换至下行BWP 2,以及在T2时刻开始从下行BWP 1切换至下行BWP 2,在T2时刻之后间隔第一时长向网络设备开始发送该第二上行信号。
需要说明的是,该第一时长可以是保证该终端设备开始下行BWP切换到下行BWP切换结束的最大时间。
可选地,该第一时长为预设的,或者,该第一时长为网络设备通过信令预先配置的。
例如,该网络设备预先通过信令向该终端设备发送第七配置信息,该第七配置信息用于配置该第一时长。
因此,在本申请实施例中,终端设备基于下行参考信号的测量,自主切换下行BWP和/或上行BWP的方案,满足卫星通信中由于卫星波束的快速切换导致的BWP快速切换的需求,可以有效节省网络侧的DCI开销,且由于减少了基于终端上报进行的切换流程,可以保证更加及时的BWP切换。
