Background technique

The device-to-device (D2D) technology is a direct connection technology for terminal devices. Currently, D2D communication is allowed to reuse the uplink resources of cellular communication, but this method cannot utilize the full bandwidth or must wait for uplink subframe scheduling before performing D2D transmission, resulting in low spectrum utilization. In addition, since D2D users and cellular users performing resource multiplexing respectively use beamforming technology according to their respective measured channel qualities, beams of D2D communication and beams transmitted by cellular users inevitably cause interference with each other.

Summary of the invention

The present application provides a communication method and a communication device, which are beneficial to reducing or avoiding the interference of D2D communication to cellular communication while improving the utilization rate of the spectrum.

In a first aspect, a communication method is provided, the method includes: a network device determines a first target beam, the first target beam is a beam used by the first device when transmitting to the second device on the target transmission resource, and the target transmission resource is The time-frequency resource used during transmission between the network device and the third device; the network device sends first beam indication information to the first device, and the first beam indication information is used to indicate the first target beam.

The interference of the first target beam to the third device being lower than the first threshold value means that the beam quality of the first target beam measured by the third device is lower than the first threshold value, which is also referred to as: The beam interference of the first target beam is lower than the first threshold value. In this application, since the first target beam interferes with the third device for the third device, the beam quality of the first target beam is better. For example, the higher the power of the beam, the higher the power of the first target beam. The greater the beam interference, the greater the interference to the third device; the worse the beam quality of the first target beam, for example, the smaller the beam power, the smaller the beam interference of the first target beam, and the greater the interference to the third device small.

This application can be applied to a variety of application scenarios, such as D2D, Relay, Mesh, Integrated Access & Backhaul (IAB), Vehicle to Everything (V2X), UE collaboration, high-frequency transmission, industrial scenarios, robot collaboration, Internet of Things and other scenarios.

It should be noted that, in order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the application, the application will be introduced below by taking the first device, the second device, and the third device as the UE, and the network device as the base station as examples. However, it should be understood that the UE can be replaced with other forms of terminal equipment (or chips or circuits in the terminal equipment), such as vehicle-mounted equipment, wearable equipment, etc., and similarly, the base station can also be replaced with other forms of network equipment, such as Chip or circuit in gNB, eNodeB, eNodeB, etc.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a communication system applied to this application. As shown in FIG. 1, the communication system includes at least one base station (e.g., base station 110) and multiple UEs (e.g., UE120, UE130, and UE140). The multiple UEs include at least two UEs that can be used for D2D communication (e.g., UE120 and UE130) and at least one UE that can be used for cellular communications (e.g., UE140).

Among them, D2D communication refers to direct communication between two UEs through a sidelink or PC5 port. A UE performing D2D communication is hereinafter referred to as a D2D UE, where the D2D UE as the transmitting end is the first device, hereinafter referred to as the D2D originating UE, and the D2D UE as the receiving end is the second device, hereinafter referred to as the D2D receiving UE. The D2D UE may also have a cellular communication function. If there is a communication requirement with the base station, the D2D UE may also perform cellular communication.

Cellular communication refers to the communication between the UE and the base station through downlink (downlink) or uplink (uplink). The UE performing cellular communication is a third device, which is referred to herein as a cellular UE, and the cellular UE has the function of performing cellular downlink or uplink communication with the base station. The cellular UE may also have a D2D communication function. If there is a communication requirement with other D2D UEs, the cellular UE may also perform D2D communication with other D2D UEs.

Currently, when the D2D originating UE multiplexes the uplink resources of cellular communication and transmits to the D2D receiving UE, it can only use the frequency division duplex (FDD) system uplink or the time division duplex (TDD) uplink For subframes, the full bandwidth cannot be used or the D2D transmission must be performed when there is an uplink subframe scheduling, resulting in low spectrum utilization.

In addition, since the channel state information (channel state information, CSI) between the D2D UEs can only be obtained by the D2D receiving UE based on the measurement signals sent by the D2D originating UE, the base station cannot obtain the channel state information between the D2D UEs, and can only obtain the channel state information between the D2D UEs. For the channel state information between it and the cellular UE, the D2D UE and the cellular UE that perform resource multiplexing respectively use beamforming technology according to their respective measured channel qualities. The D2D communication beam and the cellular communication beam inevitably cause interference with each other.

In order to solve the above problems, this application provides a communication method that not only allows D2D communication and cellular communication to reuse cellular communication uplink resources, but also allows D2D communication and cellular communication to reuse cellular communication downlink resources. On the other hand, it can be The base station configures the beam for D2D communication. In this way, the spectrum utilization rate can be improved, and the interference of the D2D communication to the cellular communication and/or the interference of the cellular communication to the D2D communication can be reduced or even avoided. For example, the base station can configure beams that can be used for D2D communication and will not cause interference to cellular UEs to the D2D originating UE, so that when the D2D originating UE uses the beam configured by the base station to transmit, it can ensure the reception success rate of the D2D receiving UE. It can also avoid causing interference to cellular UEs.

In the embodiments of the present application, a beam can be understood as a spatial resource, or can refer to a transmission or reception precoding vector with energy transmission directivity, and the transmission or reception precoding vector can be identified by index information. Wherein, the energy transmission directivity may refer to a signal that has been pre-encoded by the pre-encoding vector within a certain spatial position and has better received power, such as meeting the signal-to-noise ratio of receiving demodulation, etc.; the energy transmission Directivity can also mean that the same signal sent from different spatial locations received through the precoding vector has different received power.

Optionally, the same communication device (such as a terminal device or a network device) may have different precoding vectors, and different devices may also have different precoding vectors, that is, corresponding to different beams.

Regarding the configuration or capability of the communication device, a communication device can use one or more of multiple different precoding vectors at the same time, that is, one or more beams can be formed at the same time. The same beam can mean that the information of the beam is the same, or it can mean that the beam has the same spatial resources. In some descriptions, the same beam can also cover resources with a quasi co-location (QCL) relationship or a spatial reference relationship. The information of the beam can be identified by index information. Optionally, the index information may correspond to the resource identity (ID) of the configuration terminal device (such as user equipment UE), for example, the index information may correspond to the configured channel state information reference signal (channel state information reference signal, The ID or resource of the CSI-RS may also correspond to the ID or resource of the configured uplink sounding reference signal (SRS). Or, optionally, the index information may be index information that is displayed or implicitly carried by a signal or channel carried by a beam. For example, the index information may be a synchronization signal sent by a beam or a broadcast channel indicating the index of the beam. information. How the specific beam information is indicated is not limited in the embodiment of this application.

In the following, the solution provided by this application will be described in detail.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a communication method provided by the present application. As shown in FIG. 2, the method 200 includes S210 and S220. Hereinafter, each step will be described in detail.

S210: The base station determines the first target beam.

The first target beam is a beam used when the D2D originating UE transmits to the D2D receiving UE on the target transmission resource, and the target transmission resource is a time-frequency resource used during transmission between the base station and the cellular UE. That is, the first target beam is the beam configured by the base station for the D2D originating UE when the D2D originating UE multiplexes the time-frequency resources of cellular communication for D2D communication. Wherein, the target transmission resource may be an uplink time-frequency resource (abbreviated as: uplink resource), or a downlink time-frequency resource (abbreviated as: downlink resource). That is to say, D2D communication can use the uplink resources of cellular communication, that is, the time-frequency resources used when the cellular UE transmits to the base station; D2D communication can also use the downlink resources of cellular communication, that is, the time when the base station transmits to the cellular UE. Frequency resources.

It should be understood that in this text, one or more of the downlink subframes/slots/symbols used in the time division duplex transmission mode and the downlink frequency domain resources used in the frequency division duplex transmission mode may be collectively referred to as downlink resources. Similarly, one or more of the uplink subframes/slots/symbols used in time division duplex transmission and the uplink frequency domain resources used in frequency division duplex transmission can be collectively referred to as uplink resources.

S220: The base station sends first beam indication information to the D2D originating UE, where the first beam indication information is used to indicate the first target beam. The first target beam includes one or more beams.

Correspondingly, the D2D originating UE receives the first beam indication information, and can determine the first target beam according to the first beam indication information. After that, the D2D originating UE can use the first target beam on the target transmission resource to transmit to the D2D receiving UE.

The communication method provided by the present application not only allows D2D communication to reuse cellular communication uplink resources, but also allows D2D communication to reuse cellular communication downlink resources. On the other hand, the base station can configure D2D communication beams. In this way, the spectrum utilization rate can be improved, and the interference of D2D communication to cellular communication can be reduced or even avoided.

The method shown in FIG. 2 will be described in detail below in conjunction with FIG. 3 to FIG. 8.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a communication method provided by the present application. This method can be applied to scenarios where D2D communication and cellular communication multiplex the downlink resources of cellular communication.

Referring to FIG. 3, in this method, the D2D originating UE sends a measurement signal, and the D2D receiving UE can obtain the available beam information and/or unavailable beam information of the D2D communication by measuring the measurement signal, and the obtained beam The information is reported to the base station. The cellular UE can obtain interference beam information and/or non-interference beam information by measuring the measurement signal, and report the obtained beam information to the base station. The base station may determine the first target beam according to the beam information reported by the D2D receiving UE and the cellular UE.

Hereinafter, this will be described in detail with reference to the communication method 300 shown in FIG. 4.

FIG. 4 is an exemplary flow chart of the communication method 300 provided by the present application. The steps shown in FIG. 4 will be described below.

S301: The base station configures a downlink resource (that is, an example of a target transmission resource) for the cellular UE, and schedules the D2D originating UE to perform D2D transmission on the downlink resource.

For example, the base station may send the first configuration information to the cellular UE, and send the second configuration information to the D2D originating UE. Correspondingly, the cellular UE receives the first configuration information, and the D2D originating UE receives the second configuration information. Among them, the first configuration information is used to configure the downlink resource for the cellular UE, and the second configuration information is used to configure the downlink resource for the D2D originating UE.

Next, the base station can configure the transmission resource of the measurement signal, the detection resource of the measurement signal, the report resource of the beam measurement report, and the report parameter. See S302 to S304 for details. It should be understood that this application does not limit the configuration of measurement signal transmission resources, measurement signal detection resources, beam measurement report reporting resources, and the order of reporting parameters, nor does it limit the configuration of the same type of parameters (for example, measurement signal detection resources) At this time, the configuration sequence of the D2D receiving end UE and the cellular UE. The configuration can be achieved through one message, or more than one message.

S302: The base station configures the transmission resource of the first measurement signal to the D2D originating UE.

For example, the base station may send the first indication information to the D2D originating UE, and the first indication information may indicate the transmission resource of the first measurement.

The measurement signal in this application (eg, the first measurement signal, the second measurement signal, the third measurement signal, etc.) may be a beam reference signal (BRS) or a beamformed channel state The information reference signal (channel state information reference signal, CSI-RS) may also be other types of measurement signals, and this application does not limit the types of measurement signals.

Those skilled in the art can understand that the first indication information may indicate multiple measurement signal resources. For example, the first indication information may be multiple CSI-RS resource indicators (CSI-RS resource indicators, CRIs), and each CRI may indicate one CSI-RS resource. The D2D originating UE sending the first measurement signal actually means that the D2D originating UE sends the measurement signal according to the multiple measurement signal resources. It should be understood that a measurement signal resource may be regarded as a beam, and the information used to indicate the measurement signal resource (such as the index of the measurement signal resource) may also be regarded as the information of the beam represented by the measurement signal resource. Alternatively, the information used to indicate the measurement signal resource may also have a corresponding relationship with the information of the beam represented by the measurement signal resource, such as a synchronization signal block index (SSB index). Among them, the synchronization signal block may include a primary synchronization signal, a secondary synchronization signal and a physical broadcast channel.

S303: The base station configures the detection resource of the first measurement signal, the report resource of the measurement report, and the report parameter to the D2D receiving UE and the cellular UE.

(1) The base station configures the detection resources of the first measurement signal

Exemplarily, the base station may send second indication information to the D2D receiving end UE and the cellular UE, the second indication information indicates the detection resource of the first measurement signal, and the detection resource of the first measurement signal is used for the D2D receiving end UE and the cellular UE pair The D2D originator UE sends the first measurement signal for measurement.

It should be understood that the second indication information is the same as the first indication information. For example, if the first indication information is multiple CRIs, then the second indication information is also the multiple CRIs.

(2) The base station configures the reporting resources of the measurement report

For example, the base station may send the first reported resource information to the D2D receiving end UE, and send the second reported resource information to the cellular UE. Wherein, the first reported resource information indicates the first reported resource, and the D2D receiving end UE may report the beam measurement report obtained by measuring the first measurement signal to the base station on the first reported resource. The second reported resource information indicates the second reported resource, and the cellular UE may report the beam measurement report obtained by measuring the first measurement signal to the base station on the second reported resource.

In this application, any one of measurement signal transmission resources, measurement signal detection resources, and measurement report reporting resources can be used by the base station through downlink control information (DCI) and downlink data in the downlink control channel. One or more configurations of channel, radio resource control (radio resource control, RRC), and media access control control element (media access control control element, MAC CE). It should be understood that the measurement signal here is a general term, which may be the first measurement signal, or the second measurement signal, the third measurement signal, etc. hereinafter. In addition, the downlink control channel may be, for example, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) or other types of downlink control channels. The downlink data channel may be, for example, a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or other types of downlink data channels.

It should be noted that, in this application, any one of the transmission resource of the measurement signal (such as the first measurement signal, the second measurement signal, etc.), the detection resource of the measurement signal, and the reporting resource of the measurement report can also be determined by The corresponding UE is determined by itself from the resource pool, and does not need to be configured by the base station. For example, the transmission resource of the first measurement signal may be determined by the D2D originating UE from the resource pool. The resource pool can be pre-configured or sent by the base station to the UE in the form of broadcast.

It should also be noted that in this application, the relevant information that needs to be sent by the base station to the D2D receiving end UE, such as one or more of the first indication information and the second indication information, can be directly sent by the base station to the D2D receiving end. The end UE may also be first sent by the base station to the D2D originating UE, and then forwarded by the D2D originating UE to the D2D receiving UE. Correspondingly, relevant information that needs to be sent by the D2D receiving UE to the base station, such as the beam measurement report sent by the D2D receiving UE in the following text, can be directly sent to the base station by the D2D receiving UE, or it can be sent to the base station by the D2D receiving UE first. The D2D originating UE is then forwarded to the base station by the D2D originating UE.

(3) Base station configuration report parameters

For example, the base station may send the first reported parameter information to the D2D receiving end UE, and send the second reported parameter information to the cellular UE. The first reported parameter information is used by the D2D receiving end UE to determine the content that needs to be reported after measuring the first measurement signal. The second reported parameter information is used by the cellular UE to determine the content that needs to be reported after measuring the first measurement signal.

The first reported parameter information may include one or more of the following: beam attribute information; beam quality threshold; number of beams or maximum number of beams.

Among them, the beam attribute information is used to indicate whether the D2D receiving UE needs to report a beam with a better beam quality, or a beam with a poor beam quality, or both. According to the beam attribute information, the D2D receiving UE can determine whether it needs to report a beam with a better beam quality, a beam with a poor beam quality, or both. Exemplarily, the beam reported by the terminal device may specifically be that the terminal device reports the CRI.

The beam quality can be measured by one or more of the parameters such as reference signal receiving power (reference signal receiving power, RSRP) and reference signal receiving quality (reference signal receiving quality, RSRQ). Correspondingly, the beam quality threshold value may be one or more of the threshold values such as RSRP and RSRQ. According to the beam attribute information, the D2D receiving UE reports a beam whose corresponding beam quality (such as RSRP or RSRQ) is greater than the beam quality threshold, or reports a beam whose corresponding beam quality is not greater than the beam quality threshold. Or, report both of the foregoing, and specify whether each beam is specifically a beam with a beam quality greater than a beam quality threshold or a beam with a beam quality not greater than the beam quality threshold.

The number of beams refers to the number of beams with better beam quality that need to be fed back by the D2D receiving UE, or the number of beams with poor beam quality that needs to be fed back, or the number of beams with better beam quality that needs to be fed back, and the beam quality is better. The number of poor beams. For example, assuming that the number of beams here is N, then if the base station instructs the D2D receiving end UE to feed back beams with better beam quality, the D2D receiving end UE feeds back the N beams with the best beam quality; if the base station instructs the D2D receiving end The UE feeds back beams with poor beam quality, and the D2D receiving UE feeds back the N beams with the worst beam quality. Exemplarily, assuming that the number of beams here is (P, Q), then the D2D receiving UE feeds back P beams with the best beam quality and Q beams with the worst beam quality.

The maximum number of beams refers to the maximum number of beams that are allowed to be fed back by the D2D receiving UE. For example, if the base station instructs the D2D receiving end UE to feed back beams with better beam quality, and the maximum number of beams is M, then the D2D receiving end UE can only feed back M beams with better beam quality at most.

Here, for the D2D receiving end UE, the corresponding beam quality is greater than the beam quality threshold, and the D2D receiving end UE feedbacks based on the number of beams or the maximum number of beams to feedback one or more beams with the best beam quality. Called: Available beam.

Correspondingly, the corresponding beam quality is not greater than the beam quality threshold, and the D2D receiving UE based on the number of beams or the maximum number of beams feedback beam quality one or more beams with the worst beam quality can be called: unavailable beam .

It should be understood that the first reported parameter information may only include two of the three of the beam attribute information, the beam quality threshold, and the number of beams (or the maximum number of beams). For example, the first reported parameter information may only include the beam attribute information and the number of beams (or the maximum number of beams). In this case, the D2D receiving UE reports the required number of beams with the largest or smallest beam quality corresponding to the instructions of the beam attribute information. For another example, the first reported parameter information may only include the beam attribute information and the beam quality threshold. At this time, the D2D receiving end UE reports the beam with the corresponding beam quality greater than or not greater than the beam quality threshold according to the indication of the beam attribute information. .

The second reported parameter information is similar to the content included in the first reported parameter information. The second reported parameter information may include one or more of the following: beam attribute information; beam interference threshold; number of beams or maximum number of beams.

The meaning of the beam attribute information is similar to the meaning of the beam attribute information in the first reported parameter information. For details, reference may be made to the above description.

Correspondingly, the beam interference threshold may be one or more of the thresholds such as RSRP and RSRQ. According to the beam attribute information, the D2D receiving UE reports a beam whose corresponding beam interference (for example, RSRP or RSRQ) is greater than the beam interference threshold, or reports a beam whose corresponding beam interference is not greater than the beam interference threshold. Or report both of the foregoing, and specify whether each beam is specifically a beam whose beam interference is greater than the beam interference threshold or a beam whose beam interference is not greater than the beam interference threshold. The beam interference threshold may be equal to or different from the wave speed quality threshold, which is not limited in this application.

The meaning of the number of beams is similar to the meaning of the number of beams in the first reported parameter information. For details, reference may be made to the above description. The meaning of the maximum number of beams is also similar, and you can refer to the above description.

Here, for the cellular UE, the corresponding beam interference is greater than the beam interference threshold, and the one or more beams with the largest beam interference fed back by the cellular UE based on the number of beams or the maximum number of beams can all be called: interference beams .

Correspondingly, the corresponding beam interference is not greater than the beam interference threshold, and the one or more beams with the smallest beam interference fed back by the cellular UE based on the number of beams or the maximum number of beams can all be referred to as non-interference beams.

It should be noted that the base station, D2D receiving end UE, and cellular UE may also pre-arrange the content of the reported parameter information (for example, the first reported parameter information, the second reported parameter information, the third reported parameter information below, etc.) One or more of. For example, the base station may agree on the beam quality threshold with the D2D receiving end UE, and pre-appoint the beam interference threshold with the cellular UE. For another example, the base station may pre-appoint the number of beams or the maximum number of beams with the D2D receiving UE and the cellular UE.

In this application, report parameter information (for example, report parameter information #1, report parameter information #2, report parameter information #3 below, etc.) can be reported through the signal state information reference signal (CSI-RS) The reporting settings (Reporting Settings) can also be sent in other ways, such as sending through RRC signaling, which is not limited in this application.

It should be noted that the content of the reported parameter information may also be notified separately through multiple pieces of signaling. For example, the beam attribute information in the first reported parameter information may be carried by the CSI-RS report configuration, and the beam quality threshold may be carried by RRC signaling, and vice versa, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Then, the D2D originating UE sends the first measurement signal, and the D2D receiving UE and the cellular UE measure the first measurement signal and report a beam measurement report. The base station can determine the first target beam according to the beam measurement reports reported by the D2D receiving UE and the cellular UE. See S304 to S306 for details.

S304: The D2D originating UE sends the first measurement signal on the transmission resource of the first measurement signal.

The D2D receiving UE and the cellular UE measure the first measurement signal on the detection resource of the first measurement signal. The D2D receiving UE measures the first measurement signal, and based on the first reported parameter information, can determine the first beam measurement report. The cellular UE can determine the second beam measurement report based on the second reported parameter information by measuring the first measurement signal.

Wherein, the first beam measurement report includes available beam information and/or unavailable beam information. For example, the first beam measurement report includes available beam information and unavailable beam information, or may include only one of available beam information and unavailable beam information. Among them, the available beam information is used to indicate an available beam, and the unavailable beam information is used to indicate an unavailable beam. The second beam measurement report includes interference beam information and/or non-interference beam information. Among them, the interference beam information is used to indicate the interference beam, and the non-interference beam is used to indicate the non-interference beam.

S305: The D2D receiving end UE sends a first beam measurement report to the base station, and the cellular UE sends a second beam measurement report to the base station.

It should be understood that the present application does not limit the feedback sequence of the first beam measurement report and the second beam measurement report.

S306: The base station determines the first target beam according to the first beam measurement report and the second beam measurement report.

In a possible manner, the first target beam belongs to the available beam indicated by the first beam measurement report and does not belong to the interference beam indicated by the second beam measurement report.

In a possible manner, the first target beam belongs to the available beam indicated by the first beam measurement report and belongs to the non-interfering beam indicated by the second beam measurement report.

In a possible manner, the first target beam does not belong to the unusable beam indicated by the first beam measurement report and does not belong to the interference beam indicated by the second beam measurement report.

In a possible manner, the first target beam does not belong to the unusable beam indicated by the first beam measurement report and belongs to the non-interfering beam indicated by the second beam measurement report.

Based on the foregoing method of selecting the first target beam, the first target beam selected by the base station can be used for D2D communication without causing interference to cellular communication. Or, the first target beam selected by the base station can be used for D2D communication and the interference to the cellular UE is lower than the first threshold.

S307: The base station sends the first beam indication information to the D2D originating UE.

This step is the same as S220. For details, please refer to the description of S220 above. For example, the first beam indication information is used to indicate the first target beam, and the first target beam may include one or more beams.

According to the communication method provided in this application, the base station can schedule the D2D originating UE to reuse the downlink resources of cellular communication. In addition, the D2D receiving UE and the cellular UE can respectively measure the measurement signals sent by the D2D originating UE and report beam measurement reports respectively. The base station can be based on the available or unavailable beams of D2D communication and the interfering beams or non-interfering beams of cellular communication, The D2D originating UE is configured with a beam that is finally used for D2D communication (ie, the first target beam). This can improve spectrum utilization on the one hand, and reduce or avoid interference caused by D2D communication to cellular communications on the other hand.

It should be understood that when describing other embodiments provided in the present application below, the parts that have been explained above will not be repeated.

S404: The D2D originating UE sends the first measurement signal on the transmission resource of the first measurement signal.

The D2D receiving end UE measures the first measurement signal, and determines the first beam measurement report based on the first reported parameter information.

In this application, the D2D receiving UE may measure the first positioning information based on the positioning reference signals (positioning reference signals, PRS) sent by the D2D sending UE or the positioning reference signals sent by the base station. For details on how the D2D receiving end UE measures the positioning reference signal, and how to determine the location information of the D2D receiving end UE according to the measurement result, reference may be made to the prior art.

Exemplarily, the cellular UE can determine its location information by measuring the positioning reference signal sent by the base station, and can report its location information to the base station. It should be understood that the location information of the cellular UE may also be obtained by other positioning methods.
