Description

由用户设备执行的方法及用户设备 技术领域
本发明涉及无线通信技术领域，更具体地，本发明涉及由用户设备执行的方法以及相应的用户设备。
背景技术
随着移动通信的快速增长和技术的巨大进步，世界将走向一个完全互联互通的网络社会，即任何人或任何东西在任何时间和任何地方都可以获得信息和共享数据。预计到2020年，互联设备的数量将达到500亿部，其中仅有100亿部左右可能是手机和平板电脑，其它的则不是与人对话的机器，而是彼此对话的机器。因此，如何设计系统以更好地支持万物互联是一项需要深入研究的课题。
为此，在2016年3月举行的第三代合作伙伴计划(3GPP)RAN#64次全会上，提出了新5G无线接入技术的研究课题(参见非专利文献：RP-160671 New SID Proposal：Study on New Radio Access Technology)。在该工作项目的描述中，未来新的通信制式的工作频段可扩展至100GHz，同时将至少满足增强的移动宽带业务需求、海量物联网UE的通信需求、以及高可靠性要求的业务需求等，该项目研究工作已于2018年结束。
在该课题的研究中，计划使用波束(beam)/波束赋形(beam forming)来进行信息的传输，具体包括在使用高频进行通信的时候，为了应对高频信道衰落过快的特性，采用发射比较细的波束。但是，利用较细的波束来进行信息传输容易受到外界变化的影响，比如手机的旋转，其他物体的遮挡等等。
在采用波束赋形的传输场景下，如果发生了波束传输失败(beam failure)，UE将向网络发送相关的请求信息，例如，波束传输失败恢复请求beam failure recovery request，或者是波束失败报告beam failure report，以请求重新配置，或者恢复有效的工作波束。这样的请求信息可以包含在 MAC CE中，这里称为“BFR MAC CE”，这个MAC CE被包含在MAC PDU中，通过PUSCH发送给基站。当波束传输失败被UE检测到时，UE会触发BFR，如果此时没有可以使用的PUSCH资源用于传输携带BFR MAC CE，UE可以通过PUCCH发送调度请求，请求基站调度上行资源，用于发送BFR MAC CE。
当调度请求被发送后，UE需要监听PDCCH，以接收基站的上行调度；当获得上行调度资源发送了BFR MAC CE后，UE还需要监听PDCCH，以确认基站是否正确接收了发送的BFR MAC CE。
而另外一方面，为了节能，UE可以被配置了不连续接收(DRX)功能。不连续接收(DRX)是指当UE的业务不繁忙时，可以不持续监听PDCCH，而是周期性的醒来，持续监听一段时间，在这段时间内没有收到对UE的调度，那么UE将不再监听PDCCH直至下一个醒来的时刻。
DRX允许UE不持续监听PDCCH，从而达到节能的效果。但是BFR可以在任何时刻被触发，一旦触发，无论为了获得请求的上行资源，还是是为了确认基站是否正确收到BFR MAC CE，都要求UE持续地监听PDCCH。因此，在DRX模式下如何进行BFR的传输，以避免额外的能量消耗，从而实现节能，这是需要解决的问题。
此外，在BFR被触发后，UE有可能接收到来自基站的、可以改变波束方向的指令，改变后的波束方向有可能克服了之前检测的波束传输失败，如果继续上报BFR MAC CE，将会带来无效的资源占用以及能源消耗，那么如何处理这些之前触发的BFR和SR以实现节能，也是需要解决的问题。
发明内容
本发明的各实施例是为了至少解决上述问题和/或缺点，并且至少提供以下描述的优点。
本发明的目的在于针对在DRX模式下如何进行BFR的传输的问题以及如何处理这些之前触发的BFR和SR的问题提出了解决方法。

下文以NR移动通信系统及其后续的演进版本作为示例应用环境，以支持NR的基站和UE设备为例，具体描述了根据本发明的多个实施方式。然而，需要指出的是，本发明不限于以下实施方式，而是可适用于更多其它的无线通信系统，例如eLTE通信系统，而且可以适用于其他基站和UE设备，例如支持eLTE的基站和UE设备。同时本发明不限于由于波束/波束赋形导致的无线链路中断的场景，还可以用于由于其他原因导致的无线链路中断场景下。
由于服务小区包括主小区和辅小区，在下文中提到的服务小区主要是指辅小区，因此在下文中服务小区和辅小区可以相互替换。
BFR的触发
对于采用波束赋形的传输的小区Scell，一旦UE检测到对应于该Scell的测量参考信号的测量结果(例如，下行控制信道的解码错误概率，或者是下行控制信道的假设性错误率)变弱或者超过了预配置的阈值，或者是当测量的L1-RSRP低于一个配置的门限，UE的物理层会向MAC层指示，这类指示被称为波束失败实例(beam failure instance，BFI)；
在MAC层，UE利用计数器BFI_COUNTER来统计收到的BFI的个数，每一个需要检测beam failure的Scell都有一个对应的计数器BFI_COUNTER：
每次收到一个指示，就将启动或者重新启动检测定时器beamFailureDetectionTimer，并将BFI_COUNTER值加1，类似的，每一个需要检测beam failure的Scell都有一个对应的检测定时器beamFailureDetectionTimer；
当BFI_COUNTER的值等于(或者超过)特定值时，例如BFI_COUNTER的数值等于配置的BFI的最大值加一(beamFailureInstanceMaxCount+1)，或者是BFI_COUNTER的数值大于等于配置的、所允许的BFI的最大值，那么MAC层会触发波束失败报告/波束失败恢复(beam failure report/beam failure recovery，BFR)这一过程，简称触发BFR。通过这一过程，UE可以向网络侧报告Scell的波束失败相关的信息，还可以请求恢复波束失败或者请求链路重配置。可以认为，当BFI_COUNTER满足上述条件时，UE会向网络侧报告Scell的波束失败相关的信息，以及可选的请求恢复波束失败或者请求链路重配置。
当检测定时器beamFailureDetectionTimer超时的时候，UE将BFI_COUNTER置为初始值(例如，BFI_COUNTER的初始值可以为零)。
当BFR被触发时，如果UE存在可用的上行资源，那么UE可以指示复用和组装实体(Multiplexing and assembly entity)生成BFR MAC CE。
如果UE没有可用的上行资源以及存在至少一个被触发的BFR，那么UE可以触发调度请求。
当包含了BFR MAC CE的MAC PDU被发送后，UE需要监听PDCCH，以确认基站是否正确接收了发送的BFR MAC CE。在监听过程中，当UE接收到一个PDCCH，该PDCCH上传输的DCI调度了一个上行授权(UL grant)用于新传(new transmission)，且该UL grant采用的HARQ进程(HARQ process)与之前用于传输BFR MAC CE的MAC PDU的HARQ进程相同，那么这样的PDCCH可以被认为是一种BFR的确认信息或者是BFR的响应信息。基于BFR的响应信息，UE可以认为基站正确收到了BFR MAC CE，以及认为BFR的过程成功完成。
关于DRX
本文中的DRX模式DRX mode是指UE被配置了DRX功能，或者是 指进行DRX操作。本文中的非DRX模式Non-DRX mode是指UE未被配置DRX功能或者未进行DRX操作。
UE在DRX模式下，周期性的监听PDCCH，这里的周期为DRX cycle。当UE遵循DRX cycle醒来监听PDCCH时，UE会启动定时器drx-onDurationTimer，在这个定时器运行期间，UE会监听PDCCH。这里所说的“监听PDCCH”是指在PDCCH可能出现的所有时刻接收PDCCH，并且检测该PDCCH是否是被该UE的C-RNTI加扰，即该PDCCH是否指向UE的C-RNTI(PDCCH addressed to the C-RNTI)。如果是，则解码该PDCCH，从而获取其中指示的信息。
在DRX mode下UE可以处于活跃时期(ACTIVE time)或者非活跃时期(Non-ACTIVE time)。本文中的非ACTIVE time是指UE不处于ACTIVE time的时期，或者是不属于ACTIVE time的时间。
当UE被配置了DRX cycle，ACTIVE time指的是下述时刻：
-定时器drx-onDurationTimer，drx-InactivityTimer或者drx-RetransmissionTimerDL或者drx-RetransmissionTimerUL或者ra-ContentionResolutionTimer运行期间；
-在PUCCH上发送的调度请求(Scheduling Request，SR)处于挂起(pending)的时候；
-在一个随机接入过程中，如果发送的前导序列不是从基于竞争冲突的随机接入前导序列中选择的，那么在成功收到RAR之后，还没有收到一个指向UE的C-RNTI的PDCCH的时候。
在DRX模式下，当UE接收到PDCCH指示了一个上行的传输(UL transmission)，无论是新传还是重传，UE在完成该上行传输后会启动定时器drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL。当定时器drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL运行超时时，启动定时器drx-RetransmissionTimerUL，从而进入ACTIVE time。
在定时器drx-RetransmissionTimerUL运行期间，如果接收到PDCCH指示一个上行传输(可以是用于新传，也可以是用于重传)，则重复上述步骤，以及停止定时器drx-RetransmissionTimerUL；如果接收到的PDCCH指示的是一个上行新传，那么还将启动定时器drx-InactivityTimer；
当定时期drx-RetransmissionTimerUL运行超时，如果没有其他条件使得 UE继续处于ACTIVE time，那么UE就会进入non-ACTIVE time。
以下，详细描述本发明的若干实施例。
实施例1
当UE被配置了DRX功能，并且处于non-ACTIVE time，BFR可能被触发。被触发的BFR可以进一步触发调度请求。当一个调度请求被触发后，如果没有被取消，那么可以认为这个调度请求是一个pending SR。在现有技术中，UE在PUCCH上发送了调度请求，且该调度请求还没有被取消，是一个pending SR，那么UE进入了ACTIVE time，开始持续监听(monitor)下行PDCCH。
在监听的过程中，当UE接收到一个PDCCH，在该PDCCH上传输的下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information，DCI)中指示了一个上行授权(UL grant)，且该UL grant用于上行传输中的首次传输，或者新传(new transmission)，那么UE可以在该UL grant上传输BFR MAC CE。
在现有技术中，当UE接收到一个PDCCH指示一个上行的新传，UE会启动(start)或者重新启动(re-start)定时器drx-InactivityTimer。在定时器drx-InactivityTimer运行期间，UE被认为处于ACTIVE time，需要持续监听下行PDCCH。
然而UE此时可能仅仅需要传输BFR，并没有其他数据要传输，所以UE可以在向基站发送BFR成功之后重新进入Non-ACTIVE状态。从而实现节能。
为了实现上述操作，如图1所示，一种可能的方式是
S101：UE接收一个PDCCH，在该PDCCH上传输的DCI中指示了一个UL grant，该UL grant用于首次传输/新传。UL grant是一种上行授权，对应着上行资源。在DCI指示了一个UL grant，是指在DCI中包含了用于上行传输的资源的相关时间、频率或者其他的信息，该上行资源用于UE的上行传输。
S102：在一种情况下，这种情况是指：UE不仅存在被触发的BFR还存在上行数据需要传输，即至少还有一个逻辑信道或者逻辑信道组存在或者含有数据需要发送，那么UE在接收到上述PDCCH时，启动或者重新启 动定时器drx-InactivityTimer；
S103：在另外一种情况下，这种情况是指：UE仅存在被触发的BFR而不存在上行数据需要传输，即没有任何一个逻辑信道或者逻辑信道组存在或者含有需要发送的上行数据，那么UE在接收到上述PDCCH时，不启动或者不重新启动(re-start)定时器drx-InactivityTimer；以及优选的，在UE仅存在被触发的BFR而不存在上行数据需要传输，并且所有在MAC PDU组包之前触发的BFR都能够被接收到的UL grant容纳(accommodate)，那么在这种情况下UE在接收到上述PDCCH时，不启动或者不重新启动(re-start)定时器drx-InactivityTimer。这里“所有在MAC PDU组包之前触发的BFR都能够被接收到的UL grant容纳”是指生成的BFR MAC CE可以包含所有发生了beam failure的服务小区的相关信息，以及该BFR MAC CE和MAC PDU的头(hearer)构成的MAC PDU可以在这个上行授权对应的上行资源上传输，而不发生溢出的情况。
如图2所示，上述操作的又一种实现方式可以是
S201：UE接收一个PDCCH，在该PDCCH上传输的DCI中指示了一个UL grant，该UL grant用于首次传输/新传：
S202：在一种情况下，这种情况是指：UE在接收到该UL grant时能够确定在该UL grant上传输的MAC PDU中仅包含了BFR MAC CE，或者是仅包含了BFR MAC CE以及填充比特(padding bits)，那么，UE在接收到上述PDCCH时，不启动或者不重新启动(re-start)定时器drx-InactivityTimer。
S203：在另外一些情况下，这些情况是例如，UE在接收到该UL grant时能够确定在该UL grant上传输的MAC PDU中不仅包含了BFR MAC CE还包含BSR MAC CE，或者是确定在该UL grant上传输的MAC PDU中包含来自逻辑信道/逻辑信道组的数据，那么UE在接收到上述PDCCH时，启动(start)或者重新启动(re-start)定时器drx-InactivityTimer。
实施例2
由于在现有技术中，“BFR的确认信息”是一个调度上行新传的PDCCH，如前所述，在DRX模式下，当接收到这样一个调度上行新传的PDCCH时，UE会启动(start)或者重新启动(re-start)定时器drx-InactivityTimer。在 定时器drx-InactivityTimer运行期间，UE被认为处于ACTIVE time，需要持续监听下行PDCCH。
这样的“BFR确认信息”在UE有数据需要发送的情况下，可以发挥作用，然而，当UE没有数据需要传输时，反而延长了UE处于ACTIVE状态的时间。为了避免这样的情况，可以采用不发送“BFR响应信息”而使得UE获得隐式确认的方法。
如图3所示，具体是实现方法可以是：
S301：当UE向基站发送了BFR MAC CE，或者是向基站发送了携带BFR MAC CE的MAC PDU，或者是一个BFR被触发之后，或者是在BFR执行过程中，如果UE处于DRX模式下，那么当定时器drx-RetransmissionTimerUL运行超时后，UE认为BFR过程成功完成。以及可选的，取消触发的BFR。
通过上述操作，基站在成功接收到BFR MAC CE之后，如果不需要进一步调度UE，可以不向UE发送现有技术中所述的PDCCH作为确认信息，而是默认接收到了BFR MAC CE；而UE通过定时器drx-RetransmissionTimerUL运行超时可以获得这样的BFR确认信息。
实施例3
实施例2通过避免提供PDCCH作为“BFR确认信息”，来避免启动定时器drx-InactivityTimer，从而避免UE进入ACTIVE time，以达到节能的目的。
实施例3则是限定了定时器drx-InactivityTimer的启动条件，从而避免UE进入ACTIVE time。
现有技术中当UE接收到一个PDCCH指示一个上行的新传，UE会启动(start)或者重新启动(re-start)定时器drx-InactivityTimer。如果这个PDCCH仅仅是作为“BFR确认信息”发送给UE，那么在UE没有数据需要发送给基站的情况下，当UE接收到作为“BFR确认信息”的PDCCH时，可以不启动定时器drx-InactivityTimer，从而不进入ACTIVEtime。
如图4所示，具体的实施方式可以是：
S401：UE接收一个PDCCH，
-S402：如果该PDCCH上传输的DCI调度了一个上行授权(UL grant)用于新传(new transmission)，且该UL grant采用的HARQ进程(process)与之前用于传输BFR MAC CE的MAC PDU的进程相同，如果此时没有任何一个逻辑信道或者逻辑信道组拥有/包含需要发送的上行数据，那么UE在接收到上述PDCCH时，不启动或者不重新启动(re-start)定时器drx-InactivityTimer；
-S403：如果该PDCCH不属于上述情况，例如
●该PDCCH上传输的DCI调度了一个下行传输(DL transmission)；或者是
●该PDCCH上传输的DCI虽然调度了一个上行传输(UL transmission)，但是DCI中指示的HARQ进程与之前用于传输携带BFR MAC CE的MAC PDU的进程不相同；又或者是
●该PDCCH虽然指示了在与之前用于传输携带着BFR MAC CE的MAC PDU的进程相同的HARQ进程上进行的上行新传，但是此时UE有上行数据需要发送，
那么UE启动或者重新启动(re-start)定时器drx-InactivityTimer。
实施例4
实施例1和实施例2可以结合使用。
实施例1和实施例3可以结合使用。
实施例5
当一个BFR被触发之后，UE可以接收到基站发送的MAC CE，用来调整/激活PDCCH的TCI状态(TCI state)，通过调整/激活TCI状态，可以克服之前发生的beam failure，重新恢复链路的正常工作。因此UE可以基于调整后的beam进行链路检测，而不需要报告在调整发生之前生成的BFR。
如图5所示，具体的实施方式可以是
S501：UE接收基站发送的MAC CE，该MAC CE包含用于调整/激活PDCCH的TCI状态的相关信息。这样的MAC CE中通常会携带小区序号 (cell Index)。小区序号对应的小区可以称为该MAC CE所适用的服务小区。
S502：对于这样的MAC CE所适用的服务小区，如果该服务小区有触发的BFR，或者是有pending SR，且该pending SR是由BFR触发的，那么可以取消触发的BFR，或者是取消pending SR，或者是两者都取消。以及可选的，可以将beam failure检测相关的计数器(BFI_COUNTER)的取值置为零或者设置为初始值。
用于调整/激活PDCCH的TCI状态的MAC CE可以是UE专有PDCCH TCI状态指示MAC CE(TCI State Indication for UE-specific PDCCH MAC CE)，或者是单PDCCH多TRP TCI状态激活MAC CE(TCI states activation MAC CE for single-PDCCH Mtrp)，还可以是多PDCCH多TRP TCI状态激活MAC CE(TCI states activation MAC CE for multi-PDCCH mTRP)等。
实施例6
一个服务小区上可以配置多个BWP(Bandwidth Part，部分带宽)。BWP可以被激活或者去激活。Beam Failure的检测通常在被激活的BWP上进行。BWP可以被切换，所谓的BWP切换，就是把当前激活的BWP去激活，同时激活另外一个BWP。由于不同BWP的beam的配置可以是不同的，当UE在这个服务小区进行BWP切换时，也可能发生beam方向的调整，从而克服已经触发的beam failure。在这种情况，UE可以基于调整后的beam进行链路检测，而不需要报告在调整发生之前生成的BFR。
如图6所示，具体实施方式可以是
S601：在UE发生BWP切换(switching)时，如果该BWP所属的服务小区有触发的BFR，或者是有pending SR，且该pending SR是由BFR触发的，那么可以取消触发的BFR，或者是取消pending SR，或者是两者都取消。以及可选的，可以将beam failure检测相关的计数器(BFI_COUNTER)的取值置为零或者初始值。
UE可以在下述情况之一或多发生BWP切换：
UE接收到PDCCH，该PDCCH上携带的DCI指示了一个下行指派或者上行传输，且该DCI中指示的BWP ID与当前激活的BWP(active BWP)的BWP ID不同；
与当前激活的BWP相关联的定时器bwp-InactivityTimer运行超时，UE 切换到默认的BWP或者初始的BWP上；
当UE接收到RRC重配置消息指示UE切换激活的BWP。
实施例7
BFR MAC CE中至少包含了发生了Beam failure的服务小区的信息，例如小区序号(Cell index)。这里，发生beam failure的服务小区可以简称为失败的小区(failed cell)。此外，如果该failed cell还存在候选参考信号，还可以携带该候选参考信号的信息，例如参考信号的标识(identity，ID)，这也可以被称为是发生了beam failure的服务小区的信息。
由于基站调度的的上行资源有限，不是所有发生beam failure的服务小区的相关信息都能在一个MAC PDU中携带。
因此在BFR MAC CE中可以设置一个指示，指示是否还有发生beam failure的服务小区的信息没有上报，或者是指示是否需要额外的/补充的上行传输或者上行资源，以用来传输没有在当前MAC CE或者当前MAC PDU中上报的、发生beam failure的服务小区的信息。
通过该指示，基站可以判断是否还需要进一步给该UE调度上行资源。例如在BFR MAC CE中，该指示位设置为0，表示在该MAC PDU组包之前(prior to the MAC PDU assembly)发生beam failure的小区的信息都被携带在该MAC PDU中，或者是不存在已经被触发且还未上报的BFR，又或者是指示所有在该MAC PDU组包之前触发的BFR都被上报；如果该指示位设置为1，那么表示不是所有的在该MAC PDU组包之前(或者之时)发生beam failure的小区的信息都被携带在该MAC PDU中，或者是还存在已经被触发且还未上报的BFR，又或者是指示不是所有在该MAC PDU组包之前触发的BFR都被上报。
当基站接收到指示位为0时，可以不需要进一步调度该UE的上行传输；当基站接收到指示位为1时，则可以进一步调度该UE的上行传输。
可选的，当该指示位为1时，在那些没有被当前MAC PDU中携带的BFR MAC CE上报的、发生beam failure的服务小区上触发的pending SR可以被取消。
根据BFR MAC CE中报告的、发生beam failure的服务小区的个数，BFR MAC CE可以采用单记录(single entry)或者多记录(multiple entries) 的格式。当只有一个服务小区发生beam failure时，采用single entry；如果多于一个服务小区发生beam failure时，采用multiple entries的格式。
上述的指示位可以仅设置在multiple entries的格式中。如果BFR MAC CE采用了single entry，则隐含着只有一个服务小区发生了beam failure，或者是所有发生beam failure的服务小区的信息都已经上报了。
实施例8
在BFR MAC CE中可以设置一个指示位，指示是否有缓存区状态报告(Buffer Status report，BSR)需要上报。通过该指示，基站可以判断是否还需要进一步给该UE调度上行资源或者是分配上行资源以用于BSR的传输。例如在BFR MAC CE中，该指示位可以设置为0，表示在该MAC PDU组包之前没有触发的BSR；如果该指示位设置为1，那么表示在该MAC PDU组包之前存在被触发的、没有被取消的BSR。
当基站接收到指示位为0时，可以不需要进一步调度该UE的上行传输；当基站接收到指示位为1时，则可以进一步调度该UE的上行传输。
可选的，当该指示位为1时，由BSR触发的pending SR可以被取消。
实施例9
实施例7和8可以结合使用。
例如可以在BFR MAC CE中分别设置指示位，一个指示位用于指示是否存在发生beam failure的服务小区没有上报的情况，另外一个指示位用于指示是否有触发的BSR。具体指示的内容可以参考实施7和8中的描述。
又例如还可以是联合指示，设置指示位有两个比特，其中
00表示既不存在触发BSR又不存在没有上报的BFR
01表示存在BSR
10表示存在没有上报的BFR
11表示既存在BSR又存在没有上报的BFR
又例如，可以是在BFR MAC CE中设置一个公共的指示位：
-当不存在触发的BSR(或者是BSR触发的pending SR)，也不存在触发且还未上报的BFR时，可以设置该指示位为0，从基站的角度，可以将该指示位被设置为0理解为UE指示了不需要额外的上行调 度或者上行传输，或者是不需要补充的上行传输。
-当存在触发的BSR(或者是BSR触发的pending SR)时，或者是存在触发且还未上报的BFR时，或者是两者都存在时，UE可以设置该指示位为1，从基站的角度，可以将该指示位被设置为1理解为UE指示了需要额外的上行调度或者上行传输，或者是需要补充的上行传输。
-可选的，当该指示位被设置为1时，由BSR触发的pending SR可以被取消。
-可选的，当该指示位被设置为1时，在那些没有被当前MAC PDU中携带的BFR MAC CE上报的、发生beam failure的服务小区上触发的pending SR可以被取消
需要说明的是，以上过程中描述的“存在”或者“不存在”触发的BFR或者BSR时，是相对于一个具体的时间点而言，例如，在MAC PDU组包之前(prior to the MAC PDU assembly)“存在”或者“不存在”触发的BFR或者BSR；又例如，在UE指示复用和组装实体生成BFR MAC CE时或者之前“存在”或者“不存在”触发的BFR或者BSR。
