Description

一种通信方法及通信装置 技术领域
本申请实施例涉通信领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法及通信装置。
背景技术
第五代(the fifth generation,5G)通信系统支持各种新的无线业务类型,例如物联网、自动驾驶等。5G通信系统还支持用户协作传输,通过用户协作传输可以显著提高通信系统的容量以及网络的覆盖范围,还可以降低基站端的负载。
现有技术中,基站可以通过搜索空间传输物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH),终端设备可以在搜索空间进行盲检测,获取PDCCH上承载的下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)。现有的搜索空间分为公共搜索空间和用户设备(user equipment,UE)特定的搜索空间。
在协作传输场景下,基站DCI可以使用协作组的标识加扰DCI,终端设备可以根据协作组的标识在所有公共搜索空间、该终端设备所有的UE特定的搜索空间进行盲检,获取基站发送的DCI,终端设备盲检的复杂度较高。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种通信方法及通信装置,能够降低协作传输场景下终端设备盲检的复杂度。
第一方面,提供了一种通信方法,所述方法包括:第一终端设备从网络设备接收第一消息,第一消息包括第一信息以及第二信息;第一信息用于指示第一搜索空间,第二信息用于指示第一协作组标识,其中,第一协作组包括第一终端设备和第二终端设备;第一终端设备根据第一信息和第二信息从第一搜索空间获取第一控制信息,第一控制信息用于调度第二终端设备的下行数据,或者说第一控制信息用于指示第二终端设备的下行数据。需要说明的是,第二终端设备的下行数据指的是该下行数据的目的地址为第二终端设备。本申请中描述的,终端设备的下行数据均表示该下行数据的目的地址为该终端数据,后文不再赘述。
本申请实施例提供的方法中,终端设备可以通过一条消息获取网络设备配置的协作组标识以及搜索空间(例如,本申请实施例所述的第一搜索空间),进而根据协作组的标识在该消息配置的搜索空间中进行盲检获取网络设备发送的下行控制信息。相比于现有技术,本申请实施例提供的方法通过第一消息将协作组和搜索空间关联,终端设备无需在所有公共搜索空间、该终端设备所有的UE特定的搜索空间进行盲检,只需要根据协作组的标识在网络设备指示的第一搜索空间进行盲检就可以获取到网络设备发送的下行控制信息,大大降低了终端设备的盲检复杂度。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的第一种可能的实现方式中,所述方法还包括:第一终端设备根据第一控制信息从网络设备接收第二终端设备的下行数据;第一终端设备向第二终端设备转发从网络设备接收的下行数据。
本申请实施例提供的方法中,第一终端设备可以根据从搜索空间获取到的控制信 息接收网络设备发送的下行数据,协助网络设备向第二终端设备转发下行数据。终端设备通过搜索空间获取下行控制信息,提高了协作传输场景下的传输安全性。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一种可能的实现方式,在第一方面的第二种可能的实现方式中,第一搜索空间为公共搜索空间,或,第一搜索空间为第一协作组专用的搜索空间。
本申请实施例提供还提供了用于协作传输场景的搜索空间的可能示例,可以利用现有的公共搜索空间传输协作传输场景下的DCI,无需定义新的搜索空间。
也可以定义专用于协作传输场景的搜索空间,专用的搜索空间用于传输某个协作组相关的DCI。专用的搜索空间仅用于传输协作组中终端设备的控制信息,相比于通过公共搜索空间传输协作组相关的控制信息,减少了控制信道的碰撞。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一或第二种可能的实现方式,在第一方面的第三种可能的实现方式中,第二信息与第一搜索空间关联。
本申请实施例中,当第一搜索空间是公用搜索空间,可以在RRC消息(例如,本申请实施例所述的第一消息)的一条IE中配置第一搜索空间以及协作组的标识,可以理解的是,第二信息与第一搜索空间是关联的,第一搜索空间可以用于传输第二信息所指示的协作组相关的DCI。通过将第一搜索空间和协作组关联,终端设备只需要在协作组专用的搜索空间进行盲检,可以获取网络设备发送的DCI,降低了盲检的复杂度。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一至第三种可能的实现方式中的任意一种,在第一方面的第四种可能的实现方式中,第一终端设备根据第一信息和第二信息从第一搜索空间获取第一控制信息,包括:第一终端设备在第一信息指示的第一搜索空间接收由第一协作组标识加扰的第一控制信息;第一终端设备根据第二信息解扰由第一协作组标识加扰的第一控制信息。
本申请实施例还提供了第一终端设备根据第一信息和第二信息从第一搜索空间获取控制信息的具体实现。网络设备在一个搜索空间发送控制信息,协作组中的终端设备均可以从一个搜索空间获取到网络设备发送的下行控制信息,节省了信令开销。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一至第四种可能的实现方式中的任意一种,在第一方面的第五种可能的实现方式中,第一控制信息的格式为协作传输专用的。
本申请实施例中,可以定义一种专用于协作传输的控制信息,网络设备可以通过搜索空间传输这种格式的控制信息。现有的控制信息格式可能满足不了协作传输的需求,定义协作传输专用的控制信息,能够更好地进行协作传输。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一至第五种可能的实现方式中的任意一种,在第一方面的第六种可能的实现方式中,第一消息还包括第三信息,第三信息用于指示协作传输专用的控制信息格式。
本申请实施例中,终端设备还可以通过网络设备发送的RRC消息(例如,本申请实施例所述的第一消息)确定第一控制信息的格式。控制信息的格式不同,控制信息的payload(载荷)大小不同,终端设备根据第一控制信息的格式进行盲检,通过这种格式相应的payload大小判断是否接收到第一控制信息。当接收到的消息的payload大小与协作传输专用的控制信息格式相应的payload大小匹配,则确定通过第一搜索空 间接收到了第一控制信息。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一至第六种可能的实现方式中的任意一种,在第一方面的第七种可能的实现方式中,第一协作组标识为无线网络临时标识RNTI;其中,第一协作组标识与第一终端设备的RNTI、第二终端设备的RNTI不同;或,第一协作组标识与第二终端设备的RNTI相同。
本申请实施例提供了协作组标识的可能实现方式,协作组标识可以是RNTI,但是不同于CUE、TUE的RNTI。给协作组分配专用的RNTI,可以避免与终端设备的RNTI产生混淆。或者,协作组标识也可以是TUE的RNTI,不需要额外配置协作组标识,可以节省RNTI的可用序列值。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一至第七种可能的实现方式中的任意一种,在第一方面的第八种可能的实现方式中,第一信息包括第一偏移量以及公共搜索空间的信息,第一偏移量为第一搜索空间与公共搜索空间之间的偏移量。
本申请实施例中,当网络设备通过协作组专用的搜索空间传输控制信息时,终端设备可以根据第一偏移量和公共搜索空间的信息,准确确定协作组专用的搜索空间。
第二方面,提供了一种通信方法,所述方法包括:网络设备第一信息以及第二信息;第一信息用于指示第一搜索空间,第二信息用于指示第一协作组标识,其中,第一协作组包括第一终端设备和第二终端设备;网络设备向第一终端设备发送第一消息,所述第一消息包括所述第一信息和所述第二信息。
结合第二方面,在第二方面的第一种可能的实现方式,第一搜索空间为公共搜索空间,或,第一搜索空间为第一协作组专用的搜索空间。
结合第二方面或第二方面的第一种可能的实现方式,在第二方面的第二种可能的实现方式中,第二信息与第一搜索空间关联。
结合第二方面或第二方面的第一或第二种可能的实现方式,在第二方面的第三种可能的实现方式中,第一控制信息的格式为协作传输专用的。
结合第二方面或第二方面的第一至第三种可能的实现方式,在第二方面的第四种可能的实现方式中,第一消息还包括第三信息,第三信息用于指示协作传输专用的控制信息格式。
结合第二方面或第二方面的第一至第四种可能的实现方式,在第二方面的第五种可能的实现方式中,第一协作组标识为无线网络临时标识RNTI;其中,第一协作组标识与第一终端设备的RNTI、第二终端设备的RNTI不同;或,第一协作组标识与第二终端设备的RNTI相同。

具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
首先,对本申请实施例涉及的术语进行解释说明。
(1)用户协作传输
用户协作传输指的是一个终端设备协助另一个终端设备完成数据传输,可以显著提高系统容量以及网络覆盖范围。例如,终端设备1处于覆盖较弱的小区边缘,基站可以将数据发送给强覆盖区域的终端设备2,由终端设备2将数据转发给终端设备1。
图1是下行用户协作传输的一种场景。基站可以向协作用户设备(cooperation user equipment,CUE)和目标用户设备(target user equipment,TUE)发送数据。CUE可以将接收到的数据通过侧行链路(sidelink)发送给TUE。TUE可以对来自基站的数据、来自CUE的数据进行联合解码,提高数据接收性能。
例如,参考图1,基站准备需要向TUE发送的数据,向TUE、CUE1、CUE2发送 该数据,CUE1、CUE2将接收到的数据发送给TUE,TUE可以对来自基站的数据、来自CUE1的数据、来自CUE2的数据进行联合解码。
图2是下行用户协作传输的另一种场景。基站仅向CUE发送数据,CUE可以将接收到的数据通过侧行链路发送给TUE,TUE从CUE接收数据。
例如,参考图2,基站准备需要向TUE发送的数据,向CUE1、CUE2发送该数据,CUE1、CUE2将接收到的数据发送给TUE,TUE可以对来自CUE1的数据、来自CUE2的数据进行联合解码。
在下行用户协作传输场景中,TUE和为其服务的若干个CUE构成一个用户协作组(cooperation user group,UC group),例如图1或者图2中的TUE和CUE1、CUE2构成一个用户协作组。需要说明的是,一个用户协作组只包括一个TUE。对于一个UE而言,其可以是某个用户协作组中的TUE,同时也可以是其他用户协作组中的CUE。在同一小区中,可以存在多个不同的用户协作组。
(2)RNTI(Radio Network Temporary Identifier,无线网络临时标识)
RNTI是用户设备和基站之间约定的用于区分不同用户设备的标识,可以通过RNTI区分不同的用户设备。C-RNTI(cell-RNTI)是一种常见的RNTI,可以代表用户设备的业务信息。
(3)物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)
通常,终端设备无论是接收下行数据还是发送上行数据都需要网络设备的调度,网络设备可以利用PDCCH对终端设备的上行数据或下行数据进行调度,例如,PDCCH可以承载下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI),终端设备可以根据DCI接收物理下行数据信道(physical downlink,PDSCH);或者,根据DCI发送物理上行数据信道(physical uplink,PUSCH)。
DCI有多种格式(format)。DCI可以指示小区级的信息,也可以指示UE级的信息。其中,小区级的信息是小区下所有UE通用的信息,UE级的信息仅仅适用于某个UE,对小区下的其他UE并不适用。一个PDCCH只能携带一个某种format的DCI,一个PDCCH在n个连续的控制信道元素(control channel element,CCE)上传输,每个CCE由一定数量的资源元组(resource element group,REG)组成。PDCCH承载的DCI的format不同,PDCCH的聚合等级(aggregation level,AL)可能不同。其中,聚合等级表示一个PDCCH占用的连续CCE的个数。示例的,DCI format{0,1,2,3}对应的聚合等级(AL)分别为{1,2,4,8}。
(4)搜索空间
终端设备在成功接收PDCCH之前需要监听一个候选PDCCH集合,即终端设备根据所要监听的DCI format(格式)尝试解码该集合中的每一个PDCCH。如果终端设备在监听过程中成功解码了候选PDCCH集合中的一个PDCCH,意味着终端设备成功接收了该PDCCH。
需要说明的是,上述候选PDCCH集合可以称为搜索空间。搜索空间分为公共搜索空间(common search space,CSS)和UE特定的搜索空间(UE-specific search space,USS)。现有技术中,公共搜索空间用于传输小区级别的DCI,小区下的所有UE都可以在公共搜索空间进行盲检,获取小区级别的DCI,例如,与Paging(寻呼)、随机 接入(Random Access,RA)响应(Response)、广播控制信道(broadcast control channel,BCCH)等相关的控制信息。
UE特定的搜索空间用于传输UE级别的DCI,只有某个UE能通过盲检获取基站向该UE发送的DCI。例如,与下行数据信道(downlink-shared channel,DL-SCH)、上行数据信道(uplink-shared channel,UL-SCH)等相关的控制信息。
基站可以通过无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)消息配置搜索空间相关的参数,例如,搜索空间索引、关联的控制资源集、PDCCH监测周期、每个PDCCH监测周期中PDCCH监测的持续时间、每个CCE聚合等级下的候选PDCCH数量、监测的DCI format等。终端设备可以根据搜索空间相关的参数,确定进行盲检的搜索空间。
此外,终端设备可以通过搜索空间占用的CCE来确定搜索空间。具体地,可以针对整个带宽上分布的CCE进行编号,从而确定某个搜索空间占用的CCE的索引。或者,可以在带宽上划分控制资源集(control resource set,CORESET),针对一个CORESET上分布的CCE单独进行编号。搜索空间可以与某个CORESET关联,终端设备可以通过搜索空间占用的CCE在该CORESET上的索引确定搜索空间。

(5)加扰
现有的单跳传输中,发送端可以利用一个伪随机码序列与待发送的数据相乘,对数据进行加扰,以加密数据防止数据在传输过程中被篡改。其中,所使用的伪随机码序列可以称为扰码序列。
以uu链路的下行传输为例,基站可以利用扰码序列加扰物理下行数据信道(physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH)上映射的数据。扰码序列是长度为31位的比特序列,具体由序列X1和序列X2相加后进行模2运算获得。其中,序列X1根据协议(3GPP TS 38.211)规定来确定,通常序列X1是不变的,序列X2的初始值可以根据c init=n RNTI·2 15+q·2 14+n ID来确定。
其中,n RNTI是与PDSCH传输关联的RNTI,即接收PDSCH的终端的RNTI;
q的取值为0或1,q=0时,基站采用单码字传输,即基站终端发送的数据包括一个传输块(transport block,TB)进行传输;q=1时,基站采用两码字传输,即基站发送的数据包括两个传输块(transport block,TB)进行传输;
n ID为高层配置的参数dataScramblingIdentityPDSCH或

具体实现中,第一终端设备可以根据第一信息中的“控制资源集ID”以及“聚合等级L”确定第一搜索空间占用的CCE。例如,根据“控制资源集ID”确定“控制资源集的索引p”,将“控制资源集的索引p”和“聚合等级L”代入上述公式(1)确定第一搜索空间占用的CCE。
第一终端设备还可以根据第一信息中的DCI format在第一搜索空间占用的CCE进行盲检,获取第一控制信息。示例的,第一终端设备在第一搜索空间占用的CCE上 接收到的控制信息的格式为第一信息中的DCI format指示的格式,第一终端设备则确定该控制信息是网络设备向自己发送的,否则第一终端设备可以丢弃接收的控制信息,继续进行盲检。
第一终端设备还可以根据第二信息指示的协作组标识(例如,本申请实施例所述的第一协作组标识)解扰第一控制信息,确定第一控制信息指示的时频资源,以便在第一控制信息指示的时频资源上接收网络设备发送的第二终端设备的下行数据,从而可以协助网络设备向第二终端设备发送下行数据。

可选的,协作传输场景下,网络设备还可以通过RRC消息指示DCI的格式为协作传输专用的控制信息,使得终端设备可以根据网络设备指示的DCI format在搜索空间进行盲检,例如,当终端设备在RRC消息指示的搜索空间检测到协作传输专用格式的控制信息,则停止盲检测。
