具体实施方式
为了能够更加详尽地了解本发明实施例的特点与技术内容,下面结合附图对本发明实施例的实现进行详细阐述,所附附图仅供参考说明之用,并非用来限定本发明实施例。
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile communication,GSM)系统、码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)系统、宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,WCDMA)系统、通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service,GPRS)、长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统、LTE频分双工(Frequency Division Duplex,FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(Time Division Duplex,TDD)、通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System,UMTS)、全球互联微波接入(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,WiMAX)通信系统或5G系统等。
示例性的,本申请实施例应用的通信系统100可以如图1所示。该通信系统100可以包括网络设备110,网络设备110可以是与UE120(或称为通信终端设备、终端设备)通信的设备。网络设备110可以为特定的地理区域提供通信覆盖,并且可以与位于该覆盖区域内的UE进行通信。可选地,该网络设备110可以是GSM系统或CDMA系统中的网络设备(Base Transceiver Station,BTS),也可以是WCDMA系统中的网络设备(NodeB,NB),还可以是LTE系统中的演进型网络设备(Evolutional Node B,eNB或eNodeB),或者是云无线接入网络(Cloud Radio Access Network,CRAN)中的无线控制器,或者该网络设备可以为移动交换中心、中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备、集线器、交换机、网桥、路由器、5G网络中的网络侧设备或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)中的网络设备等。
该通信系统100还包括位于网络设备110覆盖范围内的至少一个UE120。作为在此使用的“UE” 包括但不限于经由有线线路连接,如经由公共交换电话网络(Public Switched Telephone Networks,PSTN)、数字用户线路(Digital Subscriber Line,DSL)、数字电缆、直接电缆连接;和/或另一数据连接/网络;和/或经由无线接口,如,针对蜂窝网络、无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Network,WLAN)、诸如DVB-H网络的数字电视网络、卫星网络、AM-FM广播发送器;和/或另一UE的被设置成接收/发送通信信号的装置;和/或物联网(Internet of Things,IoT)设备。被设置成通过无线接口通信的UE可以被称为“无线通信终端设备”、“无线终端设备”或“移动终端设备”。
可选地,UE120之间可以进行终端设备直连(Device to Device,D2D)通信。
在相关技术中,采用NR HARQ机制。具体来说,NR有两级重传机制:介质访问控制(MAC,Medium Access Control)层的HARQ机制和RLC层的ARQ机制。丢失或出错的数据的重传主要是由MAC层的HARQ机制处理的,并由RLC层的重传功能进行补充。MAC层的HARQ机制能够提供快速重传,RLC层的ARQ机制能够提供可靠的数据传输。
HARQ使用停等协议(Stop-and-Wait Protocol)来发送数据。在停等协议中,发送端发送一个TB后,就停下来等待确认信息。这样,每次传输后发送端就停下来等待确认,会导致用户吞吐量很低。因此,NR使用多个并行的HARQ进程,当一个HARQ进程在等待确认信息时,发送端可以使用另一个HARQ进程来继续发送数据。这些HARQ进程共同组成了一个HARQ实体,这个实体结合了停等协议,允许数据连续传输。HARQ有上行HARQ和下行HARQ之分。上行HARQ针对上行数据传输,下行HARQ针对下行数据传输。两者相互独立。
基于NR协议的规定,终端对应每个服务小区都有各自的HARQ实体。每个HARQ实体维护一组并行的下行HARQ进程和一组并行的上行HARQ进程。目前每个上下行载波均支持最大16个HARQ进程。基站可以根据网络部署情况通过RRC信令半静态配置向UE指示最大的HARQ进程数。如果网络没有提供相应的配置参数,则下行缺省的HARQ进程数为8,上行每个载波支持的最大HARQ进程数始终为16。每个HARQ进程对应一个HARQ进程ID。对于下行,BCCH使用一个专用的广播HARQ进程。对于上行,随机过程中的Msg3传输使用HARQ ID 0。
对于不支持下行空分复用的终端,每个下行HARQ进程只能同时处理1个TB;对于支持下行空分复用的终端,每个下行HARQ进程可以同时处理1个或者2个TB。终端的每个上行HARQ进程同时处理1个TB。
HARQ在时域上分为同步和异步两类,在频域上分为非自适应和自适应两类。NR上下行均使用异步自适应HARQ机制。异步HARQ即重传可以发生在任意时刻,同一个TB的重传与上一次传输的时间间隔是不固定的。自适应HARQ即可以改变重传所使用的频域资源和MCS。
为了更好地服务于周期性的业务,引入了预配置的资源的概念,下行称为半持续调度(SPS,Semi-Persistent Scheduling),上行称为配置授权(CG,Configured Grant)。
NR支持以下两类上行配置授权的传输:
基于第一类配置授权(configured grant Type 1)的PUSCH传输:由网络RRC配置包括时域资源,频域资源,时域资源的周期,MCS,重复次数,跳频,HARQ进程数等在内的全部传输资源和传输参数。终端接收该RRC配置后,可立即使用所配置的传输参数在配置的时频资源上进行PUSCH传输。
基于第二类配置授权(configured grant Type 2)的PUSCH传输:采用两步资源配置的方式:首先,由网络RRC配置包括时域资源的周期,重复次数,跳频,HARQ进程数等在内的传输资源和传输参数;然后由使用CS-RNTI加扰的PDCCH激活第二类基于配置授权的PUSCH传输,并同时配置包括时域资源,频域资源,MCS等在内的其他传输资源和传输参数。UE在接收RRC配置参数时,不能立即使用该配参数配置的资源和参数进行PUSCH传输,而必须等接收相应的PDCCH激活并配置其他资源和参数后,才能进行PUSCH传输。
由于对UE来说最大HARQ进程个数为16,对每个CG配置来说,网络为其配置有限个数的HARQ进程号,UE采用轮询的方式使用这些HARQ进程号在CG资源上进行上行传输。假设t0时刻的CG资源的HARQ进程号与t1时刻的CG资源的HARQ进程都为HARQ ID i,当t0时刻UE组包MAC PDU1后,将MAC PDU1存在HARQ ID i中,到t1时刻,由于与t0时刻使用的HARQ进程相同,MAC PDU1将被flush,即使此时MAC PDU1还没有正确传输。因此,引入了per HARQ进程的配置授权定时器configuredGrantTimer。configuredGrantTimer的维护方式为:
如果UE在PDCCH调度的资源上进行上行传输,并且该上行传输使用的HARQ进程可用于配置授权的传输,则UE启动或重启该HARQ进程对应的configuredGrantTimer。
如果UE在配置授权资源上进行上行传输,则UE启动或重启该HARQ进程对应的configuredGrantTimer。
如果UE收到PDCCH指示configured grant Type 2激活,则UE停止正在运行的configuredGrantTimer。
在某个HARQ进程对应的configuredGrantTimer超时前,该HARQ进程中保存的MAC PDU不能被flush。
应理解,本文中术语“系统”和“网络”在本文中常被可互换使用。本文中术语“和/或”,仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A, 同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,本文中字符“/”,一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
为了能够更加详尽地了解本发明实施例的特点与技术内容,下面结合附图对本发明实施例的实现进行详细阐述,所附附图仅供参考说明之用,并非用来限定本发明实施例。
本实施例提供一种定时器控制方法,如图2所示,包括:
步骤21:在上行混合自动重传请求(Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest,HARQ)进程的HARQ功能的状态发生改变的情况下,终端设备对所述上行HARQ进程所对应的CG(Configured Grant,配置授权)定时器进行控制;
其中,对CG定时器进行控制的方式,包括以下至少之一:
将所述上行HARQ进程所对应的CG定时器的时长增加;
将所述上行HARQ进程所对应的CG定时器的时长减少;
开启所述上行HARQ进程所对应的CG定时器;
关闭或停止所述上行HARQ进程所对应的CG定时器。
相应的,网络设备侧,本实施例提供的一种定时器控制方法,如图3所示,包括:
步骤31:网络设备发送指示信息;其中,所述指示信息用于对CG定时器进行控制;
其中,对CG定时器进行控制的方式,包括以下至少之一:
将所述上行HARQ进程所对应的CG定时器的时长增加;
将所述上行HARQ进程所对应的CG定时器的时长减少;
开启所述上行HARQ进程所对应的CG定时器;
关闭或停止所述上行HARQ进程所对应的CG定时器。
本实施例提供的终端设备为可以在NTN场景中进行通信的终端设备;所述网络设备可以为NTN中的卫星。
本申请提供的实施例,可以应用于Non Terrestrial Network(NTN,非地面通信网络)中。其中,所述NTN采用卫星通信的方式向地面用户提供通信服务。相比地面蜂窝网通信,卫星通信具有很多独特的优点。首先,卫星通信不受用户地域的限制,例如一般的陆地通信不能覆盖海洋、高山、沙漠等无法搭设通信设备或由于人口稀少而不做通信覆盖的区域,而对于卫星通信来说,由于一颗卫星即可以覆盖较大的地面,加之卫星可以围绕地球做轨道运动,因此理论上地球上每一个角落都可以被卫星通信覆盖。其次,卫星通信有较大的社会价值。卫星通信在边远山区、贫穷落后的国家或地区都可以以较低的成本覆盖到,从而使这些地区的人们享受到先进的语音通信和移动互联网技术,有利于缩小与发达地区的数字鸿沟,促进这些地区的发展。再次,卫星通信距离远,且通信距离增大通讯的成本没有明显增加;最后,卫星通信的稳定性高,不受自然灾害的限制。
通信卫星按照轨道高度的不同分为LEO(Low-Earth Orbit,低地球轨道)卫星、MEO(Medium-Earth Orbit,中地球轨道)卫星、GEO(Geostationary Earth Orbit,地球同步轨道)卫星、HEO(High Elliptical Orbit,高椭圆轨道)卫星等等。其中,
LEO,低轨道卫星高度范围为500km~1500km,相应轨道周期约为1.5小时~2小时。用户间单跳通信的信号传播延迟一般小于20ms。最大卫星可视时间20分钟。信号传播距离短,链路损耗少,对用户终端的发射功率要求不高。
GEO,地球同步轨道卫星,轨道高度为35786km,围绕地球旋转周期为24小时。用户间单跳通信的信号传播延迟一般为250ms。
为了保证卫星的覆盖以及提升整个卫星通信系统的系统容量,卫星采用多波束覆盖地面,一颗卫星可以形成几十甚至数百个波束来覆盖地面;一个卫星波束可以覆盖直径几十至上百公里的地面区域。
与传统NR采用的蜂窝网络相比,NTN中终端设备与网络设备(也就是卫星)之间的信号传播时延大幅增加,为了在不增加HARQ进程数目的情况下保证数据传输连续性,开启/关闭HARQ的方案提出以下结论:
网络可以配置是否开启HARQ功能;如果HARQ功能关闭,则终端设备不需要向网络发送针对PDSCH的HARQ反馈;在关闭HARQ反馈的情况下,为了保证数据传输可靠性,仍然支持HARQ重传。可以基于UE或者基于HARQ进程、进行HARQ功能开启或关闭的配置。对于基于UE的配置的方式,即配置UE的所有HARQ进程的HARQ功能同时处于开启或关闭状态。对于基于HARQ进程的配置方式,即对于一个UE的多个HARQ进程,可以配置其中一部分HARQ进程的HARQ功能为开启状态,另一个部分HARQ进程的HARQ功能为关闭状态。
由于NR中支持HARQ机制,configuredGrantTimer的配置主要根据终端设备与网络之间信号传输的往返时间RTT以及调度时延。在NTN中,如果要支持基于HARQ配置HARQ功能开启或关闭,那么对于关闭HARQ功能的HARQ进程和开启HARQ功能的HARQ进程,等待重传调度所需要的时间是不一样的,因此需要研究该特性对configuredGrantTimer的配置方式和使用方法的影响。
基于此,本实施例提供相关的方案进行定时器控制的处理。前述对CG定时器进行控制的方式,包括以下至少之一:
将所述上行HARQ进程所对应的CG定时器的时长增加;
将所述上行HARQ进程所对应的CG定时器的时长减少;
开启所述上行HARQ进程所对应的CG定时器;
关闭或停止所述上行HARQ进程所对应的CG定时器。
下面结合不同的示例,对前述CG定时器的控制方式分别进行详细说明:
示例1、
针对关闭HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器时长小于开启HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器时长的场景,对于关闭HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程,如果接收网络指示开启该上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能,则终端设备扩展(或增加)该上行HARQ进程对应的正在运行的配置授权定时器时长或者根据网络指示扩展(或增加)该上行HARQ进程对应的正在运行的配置授权定时器时长。
需要指出的是,本示例虽然更加适用于关闭HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器时长小于开启HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器时长的场景;但是,对于关闭HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器时长不小于开启HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器时长的场景也可以适用。
具体的处理过程如图4所示,可以包括:
步骤41:终端设备接收第一配置信息。
相应的,网络设备向终端设备发送所述第一配置信息。
其中,所述第一配置信息由无线资源控制(RRC,Radio Resource Control)信令携带;也就是可以由网络设备通过RRC信令向终端设备发送所述第一配置信息。
其中,所述第一配置信息中至少包括:CG的配置参数;所述CG的配置参数中至少包括:CG定时器的第一时长、CG定时器的第二时长;所述CG定时器的第二时长大于所述CG定时器的第一时长。
具体来说,所述第一配置信息中可以包括如下信息:
上行HARQ进程配置参数;包括上行HARQ进程数,每个上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能所处的状态(是开启HARQ功能还是关闭HARQ功能);
对于终端设备的每个服务小区,配置至少一个UL BWP,并且对于所述配置的至少一个UL BWP中的每一个UL BWP,可选地,可以为该UL BWP配置CG;
配置授权CG的配置参数:包括CS-RNTI,为CG预留的上行HARQ进程数,CG资源周期等;
其中,CG配置参数还包括2个配置授权定时器(或者两个CG定时器的时长),分别为configuredGrantTimer1(第一时长)和configuredGrantTimer2(第二时长);其中,configuredGrantTimer2大于configuredGrantTimer1,configuredGrantTimer2的配置主要考虑终端设备和网络之间信号传输的RTT和网络调度时延,configuredGrantTimer1的配置主要考虑网络调度时延。
这里需要理解的是,CG的配置参数中,可以配置2个CG定时器,分别采用两个时长,比如,第一CG定时器为第一时长,另一个为第二CG定时器为第二时长;又或者,可以为配置CG定时器的2个时长,即前述第一时长以及第二时长。具体采用哪种方式可以根据实际情况来确定。
步骤42:如果终端设备接收指示调度上行初传或者重传的PDCCH,并且本次上行传输使用的上行HARQ进程可用于配置上行授权的上行传输,或者如果在配置授权上进行上行传输,则终端设备确定(或判断)本次上行传输所使用的上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能所处的状态。可以包括:
在所述上行HARQ进程所对应的HARQ功能处于开启的情况下,针对所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器的时长为第二时长。也就是说,如果终端设备本次上行传输所使用的上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能处于开启状态,则终端设备启动或重启该HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器,所述配置授权定时器时长为configuredGrantTimer2(也就是第二时长)。
或者,在所述上行HARQ进程所对应的HARQ功能处于关闭的情况下,针对所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器的时长为第一时长。也就是说,如果终端设备本次上行传输所使用的上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能处于关闭状态,则UE启动或重启该HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器,所述配置授权定时器时长为configuredGrantTimer1。
进一步地,前述上行HARQ进程可以理解为本次传输使用的HARQ进程,可以为多个HARQ进程中之一。
步骤43:在所述上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能处于关闭状态的情况下,所述终端设备接收第一指示信息;其中,所述第一指示信息用于指示开启所述上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能;所述终端设备根据所述第一指示信息控制所述上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能为开启状态;将针对所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器的时长由所述第一时长调整为第二时长。
具体的,对于某个HARQ功能处于关闭状态的上行HARQ进程,如果在其对应的配置授权定时器的第一时长正在运行期间,网络设备向所述终端设备发送开启所述上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能的第一指示信息。
其中,所述开启该上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能的第一指示信息,可以通过RRC信令承载或者通过PDCCH(所述PDCCH不是指示上行调度的PDCCH)指示。
此时终端设备的行为是将针对所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器的时长由所述第一时长调整为第二时长,具体的处理存在以下两种方式:
方式1:所述终端设备自身将正在运行的配置授权定时器时长由所述第一时长调整为第二时长;
其中,所述第二时长大于所述第一时长。
可以理解为终端设备根据前述第一配置信息中包含的CG配置参数,将所述上行HARQ进行在HARQ功能关闭期间使用的configuredGrantTimer1调整为configuredGrantTimer2。
方式2、所述终端设备接收第二指示信息,所述第二指示信息为网络指示将所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器的时长增加为第二时长;所述终端设备根据所述第二指示信息,将针对所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器的时长由所述第一时长调整为第二时长;其中,第二时长大于第一时长。
也就是说,网络设备向所述终端设备发送所述第二指示信息,通过所述第二指示信息,使得所述终端设备将针对所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器的时长由所述第一时长调整为第二时长。
比如,终端设备根据网络设备的指示确定是维持正在运行的配置授权定时器时长还是将正在运行的配置授权定时器时长扩展为configuredGrantTimer2。
这里需要指出的是,将上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器进行时长调整,比如本示例中的增加时长的处理中,可以为针对同一个CG定时器进行定时的时长的调整;或者,还可以为配置有两个CG定时器,比如,在HARQ进程对应的HARQ功能开启的时候,使用第一CG定时器,也就是采用第一时长;在接收到第一指示信息后,确定HARQ功能关闭的时候,可以替换为上行HARQ进程所对应的第二CG定时器,即第二时长的定时器。这样来实现定时时长的改变。
其中,所述第二指示信息可以通过RRC信令或者MAC CE或者PDCCH承载。
还需要指出的是,前述第一指示信息、第二指示信息为指示内容不同的指示信息,但是可以采用同一个信令承载,比如采用同一个RRC信令承载、或者同一个MAC CE承载、或者同一个PDCCH承载。
或者,所述第一指示信息以及第二指示信息为不同的内容的指示信息,并且采用不同的信令承载;比如,第一指示信息采用第一RRC信令承载,第二指示信息采用第二PDCCH承载;又或者,第一指示信息采用第一MAC CE承载,第二指示信息采用第二MAC CE承载等等,这里不再穷举。
再进一步地,结合图5对本实施例终端设备进行定时器的调整的处理进行说明:
第一种处理方式中,所述终端设备将接收第一指示信息的时刻之前的最后一次启动所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器的时刻,作为开启所述CG定时器的第二时长的起点;比如图5中上方第一种处理方式所示,其中,终端设备根据RRC配置,将所述HARQ进程的HARQ功能关闭,然后上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器采用第一时长,并在每次通过上行HARQ进程传输是启动或重启对应的CG定时器,保持采用第一时长;当接收前述第一指示信息之后,确定将CG定时器调整为第二时长,并且将接收第一指示信息的时刻之前的最后一次启动所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器的时刻,作为开启所述CG定时器的第二时长的起点,直至下一次或多次重启所述CG定时器,其中重启CG定时器仍然保持所述第二时长。
或者,
第二种处理方式中,所述终端设备将接收第一指示信息的时刻之后、并且所述CG定时器的第一时长结束后的第一次启动所述上行HARQ进程的CG定时器的时刻,作为开启所述CG定时器的第二时长的起点。比如图5中下方第二种处理方式所示,其中,终端设备根据RRC配置,将所述HARQ进程的HARQ功能关闭,然后上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器采用第一时长,并在每次通过上行HARQ进程传输是启动或重启对应的CG定时器,保持采用第一时长;当接收前述第一指示信息之后,确定将接收第一指示信息的时刻之后、并且所述CG定时器的第一时长结束后的第一次启动所述上行HARQ进程的CG定时器的时刻,作为开启所述CG定时器的第二时长的起点,直至下一次或多次重启所述CG定时器,其中重启CG定时器仍然保持所述第二时长。
示例2、
针对仅对于HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程使用配置授权定时器,对于关闭HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程不使用配置授权定时器的场景下,对于关闭HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程,如果终端设备接收网络指示开启该上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能,则终端设备启动该上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器或者根据网络指示启动该上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器。
具体处理过程,参见图6所示,包括:
步骤61:终端设备接收第二配置信息。
相应的,网络设备向所述终端设备发送所述第二配置信息。
其中,所述第二配置信息由RRC信令携带,所述第二配置信息中至少包括:CG的配置参数;所述CG的配置参数中至少包括:CG定时器的第三时长。
具体来说,所述第二配置信息中包括如下信息:
上行HARQ进程配置参数,包括上行HARQ进程数,每个上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能所处的状态(是开启HARQ功能还是关闭HARQ功能);
对于UE的每个服务小区,配置至少一个UL BWP,并且对于所述配置的至少一个UL BWP中 的每一个UL BWP,可选地,可以为该UL BWP配置CG。
CG配置参数:包括CS-RNTI,为CG预留的上行HARQ进程数,CG资源周期等;
其中,所述CG配置参数还包括1个配置授权定时器,该CG定时器的时长为第三时长。
需要指出的是,该第三时长可以与前述示例中的第一时长(或第二时长)相同,比如,第三时长可以与第二时长configuredGrantTimer2相同;其中,所述configuredGrantTimer2的配置主要考虑终端设备和网络之间信号传输的RTT和网络调度时延。
步骤62:如果终端设备接收指示调度上行初传或者重传的PDCCH,并且本次上行传输使用的上行HARQ进程可用于配置上行授权的上行传输,或者如果终端设备在配置授权上进行上行传输,则终端设备确定(或判断)本次上行传输所使用的上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能所处的状态。可以包括:
在所述上行HARQ进程所对应的HARQ功能处于开启状态的情况下,所述终端设备启动或重启所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器;其中,所述CG定时器的时长为第三时长。也就是说,如果终端设备本次上行传输所使用的上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能处于开启状态,则终端设备启动或重启该上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器,所述配置授权定时器时长为前述第三时长。
在所述上行HARQ进程所对应的HARQ功能处于关闭状态的情况下,针对所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器关闭。也就是说,如果终端设备本次上行传输所使用的上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能处于关闭状态,则终端设备不会启动该上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器。
步骤63:在所述上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能处于关闭状态的情况下,所述终端设备接收第一指示信息;其中,所述第一指示信息用于指示开启所述上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能;所述终端设备根据所述第一指示信息控制所述上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能为开启状态;开启针对所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器,并且将所述CG定时器的时长设置为第三时长。
具体来说,对于某个HARQ功能处于关闭状态的上行HARQ进程(可以为多个上行HARQ进程中之一,需要理解的是,每一个上行HARQ进程可以采用与本实施例提供的多种方案中相同的处理方式,因此不对多个上行HARQ进程的处理进行穷举),终端设备接收来自网络的开启所述上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能的第一指示信息:
所述开启该上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能的第一指示信息通过RRC信令承载或者通过PDCCH(所述PDCCH不是指示上行调度的PDCCH)指示。
开启针对所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器,并且将所述CG定时器的时长设置为第三时长的处理也可以为以下两种处理方式:
方式一、终端设备自身开启针对所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器,并且将所述CG定时器的时长设置为第三时长。
方式二、所述终端设备接收第五指示信息,所述第五指示信息用于指示启动所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器;
所述终端设备根据所述第五指示信息,开启针对所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器,并且将所述CG定时器的时长配置为第三时长。
其中,所述第五指示信息可以通过RRC信令或者MAC CE或者PDCCH承载。
还需要指出的是,前述第一指示信息、第五指示信息为指示内容不同的指示信息,但是可以采用同一个信令承载,比如采用同一个RRC信令承载、或者同一个MAC CE承载、或者同一个PDCCH承载。
或者,所述第一指示信息以及第五指示信息为不同的内容的指示信息,并且采用不同的信令承载;比如,第一指示信息采用第一RRC信令承载,第五指示信息采用第二PDCCH承载;又或者,第一指示信息采用第一MAC CE承载,第五指示信息采用第二MAC CE承载等等,这里不再穷举。
也就是,终端设备根据网络设备发送的第一指示信息,确定是否启动该HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器。所述网络设备发送的第一指示信息通过RRC信令或者MAC CE或者PDCCH承载。如果网络指示UE此时启动该HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器,则终端设备基于网络指示启动配置授权定时器,并且所述配置授权定时器时长为configuredGrantTimer2(第三时长)与time_interval的差值。
如果终端设备接收所述开启该上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能的第一指示信息的时刻,距离UE最近一次使用该上行HARQ进程进行上行传输的时间间隔time_interval小于configuredGrantTimer2时长(第三时长),则如图7所示,可以包括:
Option1:所述终端设备将接收第一指示信息的时刻之前的最后一次启动所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器的时刻,作为开启所述CG定时器的第三时长的起点;
或者,可以理解为第一次开启CG定时器,可以为UE启动该上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器,所述配置CG定时器时长为第三时长减去时间间隔(time_interval)的差值;其中,时间间隔即为接收第一指示信息的时刻与接收第一指示信息的时刻之前的最后一次启动所述上行HARQ进程之间的间隔。
或者,
Option2:所述终端设备将接收第一指示信息的时刻之后的第一次启动所述HARQ进程的CG定 时器的时刻,作为开启所述CG定时器的第三时长的起点。
示例3、
针对关闭HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器时长小于开启HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器时长的场景,对于开启HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程,如果UE接收网络指示关闭该上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能,则UE缩短该上行HARQ进程对应的正在运行的配置授权定时器时长或者根据网络指示缩短该上行HARQ进程对应的正在运行的配置授权定时器时长。
需要指出的是,本示例虽然更加适用于关闭HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器时长小于开启HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器时长的场景;但是,对于关闭HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器时长不小于开启HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器时长的场景也可以适用。
参见图8,具体处理过程可以包括:
步骤81~步骤82:与前述示例1的步骤41~步骤42相同,不再赘述。
步骤83:在所述上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能处于开启状态的情况下,所述终端设备接收第三指示信息;其中,所述第三指示信息用于指示关闭所述上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能;所述终端设备根据所述第三指示信息控制所述上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能为关闭状态;将针对所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器的时长由所述第二时长调整为第一时长。
相应的,网络设备向终端设备发送第三指示信息。
也就是说,对于某个HARQ功能处于开启状态的上行HARQ进程,如果在其对应的配置授权定时器(第二时长)正在运行期间,终端设备接收来自网络的关闭所述上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能的第三指示信息。
其中,所述关闭该上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能的第三指示信息通过RRC信令承载或者通过PDCCH(所述PDCCH不是指示上行调度的PDCCH)指示
此时将针对所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器的时长由所述第二时长调整为第一时长,包括以下几种情况:
情况1:所述终端设备将针对所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器的时长由所述第二时长调整为第一时长;
其中,所述第二时长大于所述第一时长。
也就是说,终端设备将正在运行的该上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器时长缩短为configuredGrantTimer1。
情况2:所述终端设备接收第四指示信息,所述第四指示信息为网络指示将所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器的时长减少为第一时长;
所述终端设备根据所述第四指示信息,将针对所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器的时长由所述第二时长调整为第一时长;其中,第二时长大于第一时长。
也就是说,终端设备根据网络发送的第四指示信息确定是维持正在运行的配置授权定时器时长还是将正在运行的配置授权定时器时长缩短为configuredGrantTimer1。
这里需要指出的是,将上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器进行时长调整,比如本示例中的减少时长的处理中,可以为针对同一个CG定时器进行定时的时长的调整,也就是在接收到第三指示之后,将CG定时器的时长由第二时长调整为第一时长;
或者,还可以为配置有两个CG定时器,比如,在所述上行HARQ进程对应的HARQ功能关闭的时候,使用第二CG定时器,也就是采用第二时长;在接收到第三指示信息后,确定所述上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能开启的时候,可以将第二CG定时器替换为上行HARQ进程所对应的第一CG定时器,即采用第一时长的定时器。这样来实现定时时长的改变。
所述第四指示信息通过RRC信令或者MAC CE或者PDCCH承载。
还需要指出的是,前述第三指示信息、第四指示信息为指示内容不同的指示信息,但是可以采用同一个信令承载,比如采用同一个RRC信令承载、或者同一个MAC CE承载、或者同一个PDCCH承载。
或者,所述第三指示信息、第四指示信息为不同的内容的指示信息,并且采用不同的信令承载;比如,第三指示信息采用第三RRC信令承载,第四指示信息采用第四PDCCH承载;又或者,第三指示信息采用第三MAC CE承载,第四指示信息采用第四MAC CE承载等等,这里不再穷举。
再进一步地,结合图9对本实施例终端设备进行定时器的调整的处理进行说明:
第一种处理方式中,所述终端设备将接收第三指示信息的时刻之前的最后一次启动所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器的时刻,作为开启所述CG定时器的第一时长的起点;比如图9中上方option 1所示,其中,终端设备根据RRC配置,将所述HARQ进程的HARQ功能开启,然后上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器采用第二时长,并在每次通过上行HARQ进程传输是启动或重启对应的CG定时器,保持采用第二时长;当接收前述第三指示信息之后,确定将CG定时器调整为第一时长,并且将接收第三指示信息的时刻之前的最后一次启动所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器的时刻,作为开启所述CG定时器的第一时长的起点,直至下一次或多次重启所述CG定时器, 重启CG定时器同样保持采用第一时长。
或者,
第二种处理方式中,所述终端设备将接收第三指示信息的时刻之后、并且所述CG定时器的第二时长结束之后的第一次启动所述HARQ进程的CG定时器的时刻,作为开启所述CG定时器的第一时长的起点。比如图9中option 2所示,其中,终端设备根据RRC配置,将所述HARQ进程(比如HARQ进程的ID为0的HARQ进程)的HARQ功能开启,然后上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器采用第二时长,并在每次通过上行HARQ进程传输是启动或重启对应的CG定时器,保持采用第二时长;当接收前述第三指示信息之后,确定将接收第三指示信息的时刻之后、并且所述CG定时器的第二时长结束之后的第一次启动所述HARQ进程的CG定时器的时刻,作为开启所述CG定时器的第一时长的起点,直至下一次或多次重启所述CG定时器,重启CG定时器同样保持采用第一时长。
示例4、
针对仅对于HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程使用配置授权定时器,对于关闭HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程不使用配置授权定时器的场景,对于开启HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程,如果终端设备接收网络指示关闭该上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能,则终端设备停止该上行HARQ进程对应的正在运行的配置授权定时器或者根据网络指示停止该上行HARQ进程对应的正在运行的配置授权定时器。
具体实施过程如图10所示,包括:
步骤1001~步骤1002:与前述示例2中的步骤61~步骤62相同,不再赘述。
步骤1003:在所述上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能处于开启状态的情况下,所述终端设备接收第三指示信息;其中,所述第三指示信息用于指示关闭所述上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能;所述终端设备根据所述第三指示信息控制所述上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能为关闭状态;所述终端设备关闭或停止针对所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器。
也就是说,对于某个HARQ功能处于开启状态的上行HARQ进程,终端设备接收来自网络的关闭所述上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能的第三指示信息;然后可以执行以下处理中之一:
所述终端设备关闭或停止针对所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器。
或者,所述终端设备接收第六指示信息,所述第六指示信息用于指示停止所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器;所述终端设备根据所述第六指示信息,关闭或停止针对所述上行HARQ进程对应的CG定时器。
相应的,网络设备还可以向终端设备发送所述第六指示信息。
前述第三指示信息、第六指示信息,可以为通过RRC信令承载或者通过PDCCH(所述PDCCH不是指示上行调度的PDCCH)指示。其中,所述第六指示信息可以通过RRC信令或者MAC CE或者PDCCH承载。
还需要指出的是,前述第三指示信息、第六指示信息为指示内容不同的指示信息,但是可以采用同一个信令承载,比如采用同一个RRC信令承载、或者同一个MAC CE承载、或者同一个PDCCH承载。
或者,所述第三指示信息、第六指示信息为不同的内容的指示信息,并且采用不同的信令承载;比如,第一指示信息采用第一RRC信令承载,第六指示信息采用第二PDCCH承载;又或者,第一指示信息采用第一MAC CE承载,第六指示信息采用第二MAC CE承载等等,这里不再穷举。
结合图11,本实施例中终端设备进行CG定时器的控制的处理可以包括以下之一:
如图中option1所示,所述终端设备在接收第三指示信息的时刻,关闭或停止所述CG定时器;
或者,
如图中option2所示,所述终端设备在接收第三指示信息的时刻之后的第一次启动所述HARQ进程的CG定时器的时刻,关闭或停止所述CG定时器。
可见,通过采用本实施例提供的方案,对于上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能发生从关闭到开启、或者从开启到关闭的状态变化的情况下,终端设备能够对上行HARQ进程所对应的CG定时器进行相应的控制。如此,使得配置授权资源的使用能适配网络对HARQ功能的开启/关闭控制,既能充分利用配置授权资源,又能有效保证上行传输性能,提升用户体验。

针对关闭HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器时长小于开启HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器时长的场景,对于关闭HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程,如果接收网络指示开启该上行HARQ进程的HARQ功能,则终端设备扩展(或增加)该上行HARQ进程对应的正在运行的配置授权定时器时长或者根据网络指示扩展(或增加)该上行HARQ进程对应的正在运行的配置授权定时器时长。
需要指出的是,本示例虽然更加适用于关闭HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器时长小于开启HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器时长的场景;但是,对于关闭HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器时长不小于开启HARQ功能的上行HARQ进程对应的配置授权定时器时长的场景也可以适用。
