detailed description

First, the system architecture of the embodiment of the present application is briefly introduced with reference to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a system schematic diagram of the signal amplification method provided by the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 1:

It includes a network device 101, a terminal device 102, and a first device 103.

Among them, the network device 101 is an entity used to transmit or receive signals on the network side, which may be, for example, the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) or Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). Base Station (BS), it can also be the base station NodeB in Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA), or the evolution in Long Term Evolution (LTE) Type base stations eNB, gNB, etc., the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific implementation manner of the network device 101.

Among them, the terminal device 102 may be a mobile terminal, mobile user equipment, computer equipment, tablet computer, or smart phone, etc., or the mobile terminal may also be a mobile phone (or called a "cellular" phone), a vehicle-mounted processing device, or a mobile For example, portable computers, portable computers, or handheld computers, etc., portable computers, etc., which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

It is worth noting that the embodiments of this application can be applied to 5G communication systems, or can also be applied to any other communication systems such as 4G, 3G, etc., as long as the communication system includes network equipment and terminal equipment, where the network equipment and terminal equipment can pass through The wireless signal can be used for information exchange.

Specifically, in a wireless communication system, such as a new radio (NR) communication system, information exchanged between a terminal device and a network device is carried through a physical channel. Among them, the data sent by the terminal device, that is, uplink data, is usually carried through the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); the control information sent by the terminal device, that is, the uplink control information, is usually carried through the physical uplink control channel (physical uplink shared channel, PUSCH). uplink control channel (PUCCH) bearer. In addition, the terminal device can also send a sounding reference signal (SRS), and the network device can estimate the channel quality of the terminal device on different frequencies by receiving the SRS of the terminal device. Correspondingly, the data sent by the network device to the terminal device can be referred to as downlink data.

In a wireless communication system, for some deep coverage scenarios, such as the edge of a cell, or a basement, the path loss of wireless signal propagation is very serious. In this case, it is necessary to consider enhancing the coverage of the wireless signal, because when the terminal device transmits uplink data, its transmission power is often low, which causes the uplink signal sent by the terminal device in the deep coverage scenario to reach the network device. The time is very weak, and it is difficult for the network equipment to correctly detect or demodulate the uplink signal sent by the terminal device, so it is particularly important to enhance the coverage of the uplink wireless signal.

Specifically, by deploying the first device 103 in the area where coverage enhancement is required in the wireless communication system to amplify and forward the signal sent by the network device and/or terminal device, it can effectively play a role in enhancing the coverage of the signal. The first device 103 is an entity that can receive signals and forward the received signals, and it can also be a terminal device capable of receiving and forwarding. Specifically, the first device 103 can be, for example, a repeater, a relay, or a special terminal. For devices (special devices with signal receiving and signal forwarding functions), etc., it can be understood that as long as the first device 103 can amplify and forward the received signal, this embodiment does not specifically limit its implementation.

Referring to FIG. 1, the network device 101, the terminal device 102, and the first device 103 form a communication system. In this communication system, the terminal device 102 can send uplink data to the network device 101, and the network device 101 can send downlink data to the terminal device 102. The downlink data sent by the network device 101 may also be forwarded to the terminal device 102 through the first device 103, and the uplink data sent by the terminal device 102 may also be forwarded to the network device 101 through the first device 103. It can be considered that in this communication system, the network device 101 can send downlink information to the terminal device 102, the first device 103 can also send downlink information to the terminal device 102, and the first device 103 can also receive the uplink information sent by the terminal device 102.

The first device in the above communication system may be a repeater or a relay device.

The following is a brief description of the working principle of the repeater. The repeater can receive the downlink signal sent by the network device through the forward antenna, and send it to the terminal device from the backward antenna after filtering, noise reduction and signal amplification. The repeater can also amplify the uplink signal sent by the terminal device in a similar manner and send it to the network device.

Next, the working principle of the relay is briefly introduced. The relay can receive the downlink signal of the network device through the forward antenna, demodulate and/or decode the received downlink signal to obtain the original bit stream, and then re-create the original bit stream. Carry out modulation and/or coding, and send to the terminal device through the backward antenna. The relay can also amplify the uplink signal sent by the terminal device in a similar manner and send it to the network device.

It should be noted that both the repeater and the relay can amplify and send one of the uplink signal or the downlink signal, and can also amplify and send both the uplink signal and the downlink signal.

However, in the prior art, whether it is a repeater or a relay, the first device will be continuously activated after being turned on. That is to say, for the wireless signal currently received by the first device, regardless of whether the wireless signal needs to be amplified, the first device A device will always amplify the received signal. The specific implementations of the uplink signal and the downlink signal will be described below with reference to Fig. 2A and Fig. 2B. Fig. 2A is a schematic diagram of amplifying the uplink signal provided by an embodiment of the application, and Fig. 2B is a downlink signal provided by an embodiment of the application Enlarged schematic diagram.

First, an implementation manner of amplifying the uplink signal by the first device will be described with reference to FIG. 2A.

Referring to FIG. 2A, the terminal device 1-2 in this cell is not currently sending an uplink signal, and the terminal device 2-1 in a neighboring cell is sending an uplink signal, and the uplink signal sent by the terminal device 2-1 can be directly sent to the network device 2. However, because the first device 0 of the two-way amplification (that is, both the downlink signal and the uplink signal) is always active, even if there is no uplink signal that needs to be amplified in the current cell, the first device will still amplify the signal from the neighboring cell. The same frequency uplink signal of the terminal equipment 2-1 causes interference to the uplink signal of the cell.

At the same time, in Figure 2A, because the distance between the terminal device 1-1 and the first device 0 is relatively long, the uplink signal sent by the terminal device 1-1 may not pass through the first device 0, but can be directly sent to the network device 1. In other words, the network device 1 can receive the uplink signal directly sent by the terminal device 1-1.

The implementation manner of amplifying the downlink signal by the first device will be described below with reference to FIG. 2B.

Referring to Figure 2B, the downlink signal that the network device 1 can directly send to the terminal device 1-2, because the network device has a higher transmission power, the downlink channel of the cell where the network device 1 is located does not require coverage enhancement, but because the first device 0 is always in the active state, it will amplify all the received signals, thereby amplifying the same-frequency downlink signal sent by the base station 2 from the neighboring cell, which will cause interference to the downlink signal received by the terminal device 1-2.

When the first device is in the active state, the first device always amplifies the received signal unconditionally, which will cause the received signal to be amplified during some time when the signal is not required to be amplified, resulting in network equipment and terminals The interference to the equipment increases, which reduces the communication quality.

In view of the problems in the prior art, an embodiment of the present application provides a signal amplification method, which can effectively improve communication quality. The signal amplification method provided by the embodiment of the present application will be introduced below in conjunction with FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a first flowchart of a signal amplification method provided by an embodiment of this application. The content in the following embodiments is introduced using a Time Division Duplex (TDD) system as an example. The implementation of the Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) system is similar to that described in the TDD system. This embodiment will explain the differences. The rest of the implementations are similar. The implementation of the FDD system is the same as the TDD system. The place is no longer described.

As shown in Figure 3, the method includes the following steps.

S301. Obtain indication information, where the indication information is used to indicate the first duration.

The method provided in this embodiment may be executed by the foregoing first device, or may be implemented by a chip in the first device, for example, a baseband processor, or a baseband processor and a radio frequency unit are implemented together. Wherein, when the method provided in this embodiment is implemented by a baseband processor, the above-mentioned receiving action can be understood as the operation of decoding the received signal to obtain indication information, or it can be understood as reading the signal input by the radio frequency unit. operating.

When the above method is implemented by the baseband processor and the radio frequency unit together, the above receiving action can be understood as the radio frequency unit receiving the signal and performing down-conversion processing on the received signal, and the baseband processor decodes the signal output by the radio frequency unit. The operation of obtaining instructions.

The execution subject in this embodiment takes the first device as an example for description.

In this embodiment, the indication information is used to indicate the first period (first period). There are many ways to indicate that the information is only the first duration. For example, it is indicated by carrying identification information corresponding to the first duration in the message, or the first duration is directly sent in the message. This embodiment does not limit this, as long as the indication information can indicate the first time length, it can be specific.

In a possible implementation, the indication information may be sent by the network device or the terminal device. Specifically, the radio resource control (radio resource control) sent by the network device/terminal device to the first device in real time control, RRC) signaling to configure the first duration.

For example, the first duration can be configured as N time slots, subframes, frames, milliseconds, seconds, etc. through RRC signaling. In an alternative embodiment, for the TDD system, since there is an uplink-downlink switching period, the first duration may also be the unit of the uplink-downlink switching period. For example, the first duration is N uplink-downlink switching periods, etc., where N is an integer,

In another possible implementation manner, the instruction information may also be pre-arranged between the first device and the network device/terminal device through a protocol, for example, the first device and the network device terminal device pre-appoint the first duration through a protocol If it is 10 milliseconds, then the instruction information can be obtained directly from the agreed protocol at this time.

Alternatively, a plurality of first durations may be pre-appointed between the first device and the network device terminal device, where each first duration corresponds to its own identifier, and then the identifier corresponding to the first duration can be indicated through the indication information. In order to determine the first duration of the target.

This embodiment does not limit the specific implementation of the indication information, as long as the information can indicate the first duration. At the same time, this embodiment also does not limit the specific implementation of the first duration, as long as the first duration is a period of time. That's it.

S302: When the first reference signal sent by the network device is detected, amplify the first signal received in the first duration to obtain the second signal.

In this embodiment, the first device amplifies the signal received in the first time period, and does not amplify the signal received in other times than the first time period.

In this embodiment, the network device may also send a first reference signal to the first device, where the first reference signal is used to trigger the first device to amplify the signal received in the first duration. It is understandable that the first device can detect multiple first reference signals, where different first reference signals can be amplified corresponding to different signals, so that the first device can amplify based on the detected first reference signal. To the signal corresponding to the first reference signal. Among them, different signals may be signals in different frequency bands, or uplink signals and downlink signals, or signals corresponding to different services.

In a possible implementation manner, the indication information is used to indicate the first duration corresponding to the first device. The multiple first reference signals detected by the first device correspond to the same first duration, for example, the first duration is 20 milliseconds. Then when the first reference signal A is detected, from the moment when the first reference signal A is detected, the received uplink signal can be amplified within the next 20 milliseconds. When the first reference signal B is detected, From the moment when the first reference signal B is detected, the received uplink signal can be amplified within the next 20 milliseconds.

In another possible implementation manner, the indication information is used to indicate the first duration corresponding to the first reference signal, that is, different first reference signals correspond to respective indication information, and thus correspond to respective first durations. For example, when the first device detects the first reference signal C, it first determines that the first time length corresponding to the first reference signal C is 30 frames according to the indication information corresponding to the first reference signal C, and then determines the first time length In the next 30 frames at the moment, the first device can amplify the received first signal. When detecting the first reference signal D, first determine the first reference signal D according to the indication information corresponding to the first reference signal D The corresponding first duration is 20 frames, and the first device may amplify the received first signal in the next 20 frames at the time when the first duration is determined.

In an optional embodiment, there may also be a predefined first time interval between the first reference signal and the first duration, and the first device receives the first reference signal after the first time interval has elapsed. Then, the received uplink signal is amplified within the first time period, so that the first device can have a more sufficient hardware device startup time and ensure the amplification quality.

In this embodiment, the first reference signal may be a reference signal generated in any manner, for example, it may be a reference signal generated based on a Gold sequence. Specifically, different reference signals may be generated through different initial phases; or may be based on The reference signal generated by the Zadoff-Chu (Zadoff-Chu, ZC) sequence, specifically, different reference signals can be generated through different roots or cyclic shifts, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific implementation manner of generating the first reference signal .

Those skilled in the art can understand the above process as that the first device that receives the first reference signal is in the activated state for the first time period, and the first device that is in the activated state can amplify and send the received first signal; If the first device does not receive any first reference signal, the first device remains in the deactivated state. The first device in the deactivated state will not receive and amplify the forwarded signal, and the first signal is amplified by setting for the first device This avoids the interference caused by the amplification of any signal received by the first device. However, it is worth noting that the above explanation of the activation state is only for ease of understanding. In the actual implementation process, it is not necessary to There is an act of setting the first device to an active state.

In an optional embodiment, the foregoing first reference signal may also be sent by a terminal device. In this case, the specific implementation of the first device is similar to the foregoing description, and details are not described herein again.

S303. Send a second signal.

The first device sends the amplified second signal. Specifically, if the first signal is an uplink signal sent by a terminal device, the first device sends the amplified second signal to the network device; if the first signal is a downlink signal sent by the network device, the first device will amplify The obtained second signal is sent to the terminal device.

In the signal amplification method provided in this embodiment, the first device determines the first duration according to the instruction information, so that the first device amplifies and transmits the received first signal within the first duration, thereby avoiding the first device from ignoring Amplify all the received signals at all times, effectively reducing the interference generated during the time when the signal is not needed to be amplified, and improving the communication quality.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, it is set that the received first signal can be amplified within the first time period. In an actual communication network, the uplink signal may be amplified, but the downlink signal may not be amplified; or, It is possible to amplify the downstream signal, but not to amplify the upstream signal. Or, it is also possible to amplify the signal in a specific period of time in the first time length, and not to amplify the signal in other periods of time. Therefore, in addition to setting the first time length, the first time period can also be set to indicate that those times within the first time length are the time periods during which the first signal really needs to be amplified, so as to achieve selective amplification of only the first signal that needs to be amplified .

In a possible implementation manner, the indication information provided in this embodiment is also used to indicate the first period (duration) in the first duration. Specifically, when amplifying the received first signal, it is the first time period. The first signal received in the first period of time is amplified.

For example, according to actual needs, the first time period can be divided into any number of first time periods, where the time lengths corresponding to each first time period may be the same or different. Among them, the specific number of the first time periods and the time length corresponding to each first time period It can be selected according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not limit this.

In this embodiment, by setting the indication information to indicate the first time period in the first time length, the first device can be instructed to amplify the first signal received in the specified first time period according to actual needs, thereby enhancing the first time period. The accuracy and flexibility of a device to amplify the first signal.

In another possible implementation manner, the indication information is also used to indicate the first period and the first period, where the first period includes at least one first period, and each first period includes the first period, specifically When the received first signal is amplified, the first signal received in the first period of each first period in the first duration is amplified.

By setting the first period and the first time period, the signal in the first time period can be periodically amplified, which is described below with reference to FIG. 4, which is a first time period schematic diagram of the signal amplifying method provided by the embodiment of the application.

Specifically, referring to Fig. 4, Fig. 4 exemplarily introduces the indication information 1 corresponding to the first reference signal 1 indicating a relationship between the first period and the first time period. According to Fig. 4, it can be seen that the first reference signal 1 Instruct the first device to amplify the first signal received in the first period of each first period in the first duration. At the same time, it can be understood with reference to FIG. 4 that the horizontal axis of the coordinate axis indicates time, and the vertical axis The axis indicates the magnification of the first signal. The first reference signal is received at time t1, and the received first signal is amplified within the first time period according to the first reference signal. Specifically, in each first period Within the corresponding time length range, the received signal is amplified, and outside the first time length and in the time period outside each first time period in the first time length, the operation of amplifying the received signal is not performed.

In the actual implementation process, different first reference signals can correspond to their respective first periods and first time periods. Therefore, FIG. 4 also exemplarily introduces another type of first reference signal 2 indicated by the corresponding indication information 2 The corresponding relationship between the first period and the first duration is similar to that when the first signal is amplified, except that the division of the first period and the first duration is different. Those skilled in the art can understand that the specific first period and the first The time length can be selected according to actual needs, and there is no restriction on this here. By dividing different first periods and first time lengths, the signals in different time periods can be correspondingly amplified.

In this embodiment, by setting the indication information to indicate the first period and the first period, the first signal in the first period can be periodically amplified, and the periodical amplification may not need to separately set each first signal that needs to amplify the first signal. Time period, thereby enhancing the convenience of amplifying the first signal by the device. At the same time, this embodiment can only amplify the first signal in the first time period that needs to be amplified, thereby enhancing the first device to amplify the first signal. Accuracy.

On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the first period in the first period is the uplink period and/or the downlink period in the first period, which will be described below with reference to FIG. 5, which is a schematic diagram of the signal amplification method provided by an embodiment of the application. Time period diagram two.

Specifically, the first period may be an uplink-downlink switching period. Referring to FIG. 5, an uplink-downlink switching period includes an uplink period (UL) and a downlink period (DL). Correspondingly, the first period may be an uplink period, then The corresponding first device amplifies the first signal in the uplink period, and does not amplify the signal in other periods, so as to achieve the effect of only amplifying the uplink signal; or, the corresponding first period can be the downlink period, then the corresponding The first device only amplifies the first signal in the downlink period, so as to achieve the effect of only amplifying the downlink signal; or, the first period can include both the uplink period and the downlink period, then it will receive in the first period All signals received are amplified.

In a possible actual scenario, when a terminal device sends an uplink signal to a network device, because the transmission power of the terminal device is often relatively low, when the uplink signal sent by the terminal device reaches the network device, the signal is always very weak. At this time, only the first signal in the uplink period can be amplified, so that the weak uplink signal sent by the terminal device to the network device can be amplified in a targeted manner.

In this embodiment, because the transmission strength of the uplink signal and the downlink signal are often different, the degree of amplification required for the uplink signal and the downlink signal is also different. The indication information corresponding to each first reference signal can be correspondingly set to indicate the uplink period and The respective magnifications of the downlink period, so as to achieve different magnifications in different periods.

In this embodiment, by setting the first period in the first period as the uplink period and/or downlink period in the first period, the uplink signal and/or downlink signal can be flexibly configured to amplify, thereby specifically amplifying the weak Useful signals reduce communication interference and improve communication quality.

It is worth noting that if the indication information does not indicate any first time period, all received first signals are amplified within the time range of the first time length by default.

On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, since when performing uplink signal transmission or downlink signal transmission, it is very likely that only a part of the full bandwidth of the network device is used for signal transmission, so the bandwidth corresponding to the actual transmission frequency range is Receive and amplify the first signal below. At this time, amplifying the first signal in other frequency ranges may increase the interference of the signal. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first reference signal and a specific frequency can also be set. The corresponding relationship of the ranges is such that when the first device receives different first reference signals, it only needs to receive and amplify the first signal in the frequency range corresponding to the first reference signal.

Specifically, the indication information in this embodiment also indicates the frequency range, and specifically when amplifying the received first signal, the first signal received within the frequency range in the first duration is amplified.

The following describes with reference to FIG. 6, which is a schematic diagram of the frequency range of the signal amplification method provided by an embodiment of the application.

Assuming that the indication information 1 corresponding to the first reference signal 1 indicates the frequency range 1, the indication information 2 corresponding to the first reference signal 2 indicates the frequency range 2, and the indication information 3 corresponding to the first reference signal 3 indicates the frequency range 3, it corresponds to FIG. 6 The indication information 1 in indicates that the first signal received in the frequency range 1 is amplified in the first duration, where the horizontal axis of the coordinate in FIG. 6 is the frequency.

Specifically, the frequency ranges indicated by the indication information may overlap, or they may not overlap with each other. This embodiment does not limit this, and the frequency range corresponding to each indication information can be selected according to actual needs. The example does not limit this.

It is worth noting that if the indication information does not indicate any frequency range, it can default to amplify the first signal received in all frequency ranges within the time range of the first duration; or, it can also work on the network device The first signals received in the frequency range are all amplified.

In this embodiment, by setting the indication information to indicate the frequency range, it is possible to selectively amplify the first signal in a part of the frequency range, thereby avoiding the amplification of the signal in the frequency range that does not need to be amplified, and reducing the interference in the communication process. .

On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the signal amplifying method provided in the embodiment of the present application may also specifically indicate the degree of amplification for amplifying the first signal.

Specifically, the indication information also indicates power indication information, where the power indication information may indicate the absolute power value of sending the second signal, for example, the power indication information instructs the first device to transmit the second signal at 29dBm; or, the power indication information also The power amplification factor for amplifying the first signal may be indicated, for example, the power indication information indicates that the first signal is amplified by 10 times (that is, 10 dB) to obtain the second signal.

In a possible implementation, the power indication information may also be separately configured information independent of the indication information, that is to say, the power indication information and the indication information are two independent pieces of information, and the power indication information is specifically used to indicate the pair The absolute power value or power amplification multiple of the first signal to be amplified.

In an optional embodiment, if the indication information does not indicate power indication information, or the first device does not receive power indication information, the first signal may be amplified according to a predefined absolute power value or power amplification factor.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the specific implementation of the first reference signal in this embodiment will be described in detail below in conjunction with Table 1.

Specifically, the first reference signal in this embodiment is determined according to first reference signal configuration information, and the first reference signal configuration information includes first sequence information, first frequency domain candidate resource information, and first time domain candidate resource information One or more of.

The first reference signal configuration information may be information independent of the indication information, or the first reference information may also be a piece of information in the indication information, which is not limited in this embodiment.

The following describes each content included in the first reference signal configuration information with reference to Table 1:

Table 1:

To	说明Description
第一参考信号标识First reference signal identification	用于唯一的指示一个第一参考信号Used to uniquely indicate a first reference signal

第一序列信息First sequence information	用于指示第一参考信号的序列Used to indicate the sequence of the first reference signal
第一频域候选资源Candidate resources in the first frequency domain	用于指示第一设备检测第一参考信号的频域资源Frequency domain resource used to instruct the first device to detect the first reference signal
第一时域候选资源Candidate resources in the first time domain	用于指示第一设备检测第一参考信号的时域资源Time domain resource for instructing the first device to detect the first reference signal

The first reference signal identifier is used to uniquely indicate a first reference signal, and the specific implementation of the first reference signal identifier can be selected according to actual requirements, which is not limited in this embodiment.

The first sequence information is used to indicate the sequence of the first reference signal. Specifically, the first sequence information may be, for example, the sequence generated based on the Gold sequence introduced in the above embodiment, or may be based on Zad-off Chu (ZC ) Sequence generated by sequence.

Wherein, the first frequency domain candidate resource is used to instruct the first device to detect the frequency domain resource of the first reference signal, and the first time domain candidate resource is used to instruct the first device to detect the time domain resource of the first reference signal. It can be understood that , The first reference signal is also a signal, which corresponds to the transmission period and frequency range, so the first frequency domain candidate resource actually indicates the possible frequency range of the first reference signal, and the first time domain candidate resource actually The above indicates the possible time domain position of the first reference signal.

In the actual implementation process, the network device can configure one or more first reference signals for the first device, so the first device can determine the specific first reference signal according to the identifier of the first reference signal, and according to the first reference signal A frequency domain candidate resource and a first time domain candidate resource, within the frequency domain resource range indicated by the first frequency domain candidate resource, and within the time domain resource range indicated by the first time domain candidate resource, compare the first reference signal The detection avoids the energy consumption and complexity overhead caused by large-scale blind detection, so as to improve the efficiency and accuracy of detecting the first reference signal.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, in addition to the first reference signal used to trigger the first device to amplify the signal received in the first duration, the embodiment of the present application also provides a signal used to trigger the signal received by the first device The second reference signal whose amplification is stopped, the implementation of the second reference signal will be described below with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is the second flowchart of the signal amplification method provided by the embodiment of the application.

As shown in Figure 7, the method further includes:

S701. Receive a second reference signal.

Specifically, the implementation of the second reference signal is similar to that of the first reference signal. The difference is that the second reference signal is used to trigger the signal received by the first device to stop amplifying. Those skilled in the art can understand that the second reference signal Used to set the first device to the deactivated state.

In this embodiment, the second reference signal is determined according to the second reference signal configuration information, and the second reference signal configuration information includes the second sequence information, the second frequency domain candidate resource information, and the second time domain candidate resource information. one or more;

Wherein, the second reference signal configuration information and the first reference signal configuration information are implemented in similar manners, and the specific implementation manner can be referred to the introduction in the foregoing embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

In an optional implementation manner, the second reference signal may be a signal corresponding to the first device, that is to say, the first reference signals of the first device all correspond to the same second reference signal; or, the second reference signal It may be a signal corresponding to the first reference signal, that is, the first reference signal of the first device corresponds to the respective second reference signal.

S702. Stop amplifying the received signal according to the second reference signal.

When the second reference signal is received, it is necessary to stop amplifying the received signal. However, as to when to stop amplifying the signal, the stop time needs to be determined according to the second reference signal.

Specifically, the stop time is determined according to the second reference signal, where the stop time is the smaller of the first end time corresponding to the second reference signal and the end time of the first duration; the first device starts at the stop time and stops Amplification of the received signal.

That is to say, the stop time is the first end time, or the stop time is the end time of the first duration. The two implementations will be described below with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. FIG. 8 is the stop zoom provided by the embodiment of this application. The first schematic diagram of the signal. FIG. 9 is the second schematic diagram of the stop amplifying signal provided by an embodiment of the application:

As shown in Figure 8, the first reference signal 1 corresponds to the first duration 1, the first reference signal 2 corresponds to the first duration 2, and the first reference signal 3 corresponds to the first duration 3. On the time axis, that is, the horizontal axis, the first The end time corresponding to duration 1 is t1, the end time corresponding to the first duration 2 is t2, the end time corresponding to the first duration 3 is t3, and the first end time corresponding to the second reference signal is t4. The correspondence between time points, it can be determined that the first end time is compared with the end time of the first duration, and the end time t3 of the first duration is the minimum value. Then the first device starts from t3 and stops receiving large The signal is amplified.

It is understandable that the situation shown in FIG. 8 is actually to stop the amplification of the received signal after the first duration indicated by each indication information ends. In the situation shown in FIG. 8, there is actually no A second reference signal is also required.

As shown in Figure 9, according to the corresponding relationship of each time point on the time axis, it can be determined that the first end time is compared with the end time of the first duration, and the first end time is t4 which is the minimum value, then the first device Starting from t4, stop amplifying the received large signal.

In a possible implementation manner, there may also be a predefined second time interval between the second reference signal and the end time, and the first device receives the second reference signal after the second time interval has elapsed. Then stop amplifying the received uplink signal, so that the first device can have more hardware device shutdown time, and prevent the sudden change of current or voltage from causing damage to the device.

It is understandable that the situation shown in FIG. 9 is actually that after the second reference signal is received, no matter whether the first duration indicated by the current indication information is over, it will directly respond to the second reference signal and stop receiving the second reference signal. Amplification of the received signal.

Or, in another possible way, the first duration can be configured to be infinite through the indication information, that is, after the first reference signal is received, the received reference signal will continue to be amplified until the second reference signal is received. Signal, it stops amplifying and sending the received first signal.

The signal amplification method provided in this embodiment includes: receiving a second reference signal. According to the second reference signal, the amplification of the received signal is stopped. By stopping the amplification of the received signal according to the second reference signal, the amplification of the signal can be stopped accurately and effectively, so that whether to amplify the first signal can be realized flexibly and effectively, so as to effectively reduce the need to amplify the signal. Interference generated within time enhances communication efficiency.

Based on the introduction of the foregoing embodiments, in the exemplary description, a complete indication information may include the following content:

Indication information={first reference signal identification, first duration, first time period, frequency range, power indication information, second reference signal identification}

The first device detects the first reference signal in the frequency domain resource of the first reference signal and the time domain resource of the first reference signal according to the first reference signal identifier in the indication information, and then triggers after detecting the first reference signal The first device amplifies the signal received in the first time period. Specifically, the first signal in the frequency range is amplified in the first time period in the first time period to the absolute power value indicated by the power indication information. , Or amplify the first signal according to the amplification factor indicated by the power indication information to obtain the second signal and send the second signal.

At the same time, the second reference signal is detected according to the second reference signal identifier, and after the second reference signal is detected, the amplification of the received signal is stopped according to the second reference signal.

At the same time, the network device can configure multiple instructions described above for the first device:

{Instruction information 1, instruction information 2, instruction information 3}

If any item in the instruction information is not configured, it can be understood as pre-defined, and no notification or configuration is required.

10, a specific implementation process is taken as an example to give a complete introduction to the signal amplification method provided in this embodiment. FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of amplifying signals of uplink data provided by an embodiment of this application, and FIG. 8 is an implementation of this application. The second schematic diagram of the stop amplifying signal provided by the example is shown in Figure 10:

The network device sends the first reference signal to the first device. After receiving the first reference signal, the first device determines the indication information corresponding to the first reference signal, and compares the received first reference signal according to the content indicated by the indication information. The signal is amplified, assuming that the indication information at this time indicates to amplify the first signal received in the uplink period.

For example, at time t1, the network device schedules the terminal device to transmit uplink data through PUSCH. Specifically, the network device sends Downlink Control Information (DCI) to the terminal device to instruct the terminal device to send it to the network device through the PUSCH according to the DCI signaling. Uplink data, specifically, the first device receives the first signal (uplink signal) sent by the terminal device, amplifies the first signal to obtain the second signal, and sends the second signal to the network device. The network device can After receiving the amplified second signal, it effectively solves the problem of signal attenuation caused by the low transmission power of uplink data in deep coverage scenarios. At the same time, the first device only amplifies the uplink signal for the first period of time to achieve In order to amplify only the required uplink signals, the interference caused by amplifying all the signals is avoided.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the following describes the differences between the FDD system and the TDD system:

For the TDD system, because its uplink transmission and downlink transmission are carried out on the same frequency band according to the cross-allocation of time, in the TDD system, only the uplink signal or only the downlink signal can be amplified by configuring the uplink period or the downlink period. , But for Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) systems, because the uplink transmission and downlink transmission of the FDD system are differentiated in different frequency ranges, the FDD system cannot only pass the uplink period or the downlink The time period is set to achieve the effect of "enlarge only upstream" or "enlarge only downstream".

Therefore, for the FDD system, it is also necessary to set a separate uplink or downlink frequency band to indicate how to amplify the first signal. Specifically, the indication information corresponds to the frequency band that needs to be amplified, and the indication information needs to indicate that the amplified frequency band is the uplink. The frequency band is also the downlink frequency band.

Specifically, the indication information is also used to indicate frequency band information, where the frequency band information may be an uplink frequency band or a downlink frequency band, and the indication information in the FDD system may be as follows:

The configuration information includes DL or UL frequency band information, for example:

Indication information={first reference signal ID, first duration, first time period, uplink frequency band or downlink frequency band, frequency range, power indication information, second reference signal ID}

To sum up, in this embodiment, through the flexible configuration and on-demand activation of the working interval of the first device, the cell coverage is effectively improved while avoiding the useless amplification of the first device, which not only reduces energy consumption, but also Reduced interference.
