Description

Method and device for measuring interference

Technical field

This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an interference measurement method and device.

Background technique

With the continuous development of mobile communication technology, spectrum resources are becoming increasingly scarce. In order to improve spectrum utilization, future base station deployment will be more intensive. In addition, dense deployment can also avoid the appearance of coverage holes. Under the traditional cellular network architecture, the base station establishes a connection with the core network through optical fiber. However, the deployment cost of optical fiber is very high. The wireless relay node (RN) establishes a connection with the core network through a wireless backhaul link, which can save part of the fiber deployment cost.

Generally, the wireless relay node establishes a wireless backhaul link with one or more upper-level nodes, and accesses the core network through the upper-level nodes. The wireless relay node can provide services for multiple subordinate nodes. The upper node of the relay node may be a base station or another relay node; the lower node of the relay node may be a terminal device or another wireless relay node.

The IAB node in NR includes two parts of functions, the mobile terminal (Mobile Termination, MT) function and the Distributed Unit (DU). Among them, the MT is used for the communication between the IAB node and the upper-level node, and the DU is used for the communication between the IAB node and the lower-level node. The link between the MT and the upper-level node is called the parent BackHaul link, the link between the DU and the lower-level IAB node is called the child BackHaul link, and the DU and the subordinate terminal The link through which the device communicates is called an access link. In some cases, the lower-level backhaul link and the access link may be collectively referred to as the access link.

Both the backhaul link and the access link of the IAB node may transmit in both the uplink and downlink directions. Therefore, there may be multiple types of inter-link interference between multiple IAB nodes, or cross-link interference (cross-link interference). link interference, CLI) interference. CLI may deteriorate the communication quality of the backhaul link and the access link of the IAB node, resulting in a decrease in network throughput.

However, the CLI measurement of the NR protocol mainly considers the interference measurement between the UE and the UE in the dynamic TDD scenario, and does not apply to various CLI measurements in the IAB network.

Detailed ways

1. Quasi-collocation (QCL):

Quasi co-location can also be referred to as quasi co-location or co-location.

The signals corresponding to the antenna ports with the QCL relationship may have the same or similar spatial characteristic parameters (or called parameters), or the spatial characteristic parameters (or called parameters) of an antenna port may be used to determine the relationship with the antenna The spatial characteristic parameter (or called parameter) of another antenna port whose port has a QCL relationship, or two antenna ports have the same or similar spatial characteristic parameter (or called parameter), or, the difference between the two antenna ports The spatial characteristic parameter (or called the parameter) difference is smaller than a certain threshold.

It should be understood that the spatial characteristic parameters of two reference signals or channels satisfying the QCL relationship are the same (or similar or similar), so that the spatial characteristic parameters of the target reference signal can be inferred based on the source reference signal resource index.

It should also be understood that the spatial characteristics of the two reference signals or channels that satisfy the spatial correlation information are the same (or similar or similar), so that the spatial characteristics of the target reference signal can be inferred based on the source reference signal resource index parameter.

Among them, the spatial characteristic parameters include one or more of the following parameters:

Angle of incidence (AoA), dominant (dominant) incident angle AoA, average incident angle, power angular spectrum (PAS) of incident angle, exit angle (angle of departure, AoD), main exit angle, Average exit angle, power angle spectrum of exit angle, terminal device transmit beamforming, terminal device receive beamforming, spatial channel correlation, network device transmit beamforming, network device receive beamforming, average channel gain, average channel delay (average delay), delay spread (delay spread), Doppler spread (Doppler spread), Doppler shift (doppler shift), spatial reception parameters (spatial Rx parameters), etc.

Wherein, the above-mentioned angles may be decomposition values of different dimensions, or a combination of decomposition values of different dimensions.

There are four types of QCL defined in the existing standards. Network equipment can configure one or more types of QCL for terminal equipment at the same time, such as QCL type A+D, C+D:

QCL types A: Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread

QCL types B: Doppler shift, Doppler spread

QCL types C: average delay, Doppler shift

QCL types D: Spatial Rx parameter

When the QCL relationship refers to the QCL relationship of type D, it can be considered as an airspace QCL. When the antenna port meets the spatial QCL relationship, it can be the QCL relationship between the downlink signal port and the downlink signal port, or the QCL relationship between the uplink signal port and the uplink signal port (also called spatial relation), which can be two The two signals have the same AoA or AoD, which is used to indicate that they have the same receiving beam or transmitting beam. For another example, for the QCL relationship between the downlink signal and the uplink signal or between the ports of the uplink signal and the downlink signal, the AOA and AOD of the two signals may have a corresponding relationship, or the AOD and AOA of the two signals may have a corresponding relationship, that is, the beam can be used Reciprocity, the uplink transmit beam is determined according to the downlink receive beam, or the downlink receive beam is determined according to the uplink transmit beam.

The signal transmitted on the port with the spatial QCL relationship can also be understood as using the same spatial filter to receive or transmit the signal. The spatial filter may be at least one of the following: precoding, weight of the antenna port, phase deflection of the antenna port, and amplitude gain of the antenna port.

The signal transmitted on the port with the spatial QCL relationship can also be understood as having a corresponding beam pair link (BPL), and the corresponding BPL includes at least one of the following: the same downlink BPL, the same uplink BPL, and the downlink BPL The corresponding uplink BPL, the downlink BPL corresponding to the uplink BPL.

Therefore, the spatial reception parameter (ie, QCL of type D) can be understood as a parameter for indicating the direction information of the reception beam.

2. Transmission configuration indicator (TCI) status:

TCI is used to indicate the QCL information of a signal or channel. The channel can be a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH)/control resource set (CORESET) or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The signal may be a channel state information reference signal (channel state information reference signal, CSI-RS), a demodulation reference signal (demodulation reference signal, DMRS), a tracking reference signal (tracking reference signal, TRS), etc. TCI information means that the reference signal included in the TCI satisfies the QCL relationship with the channel or signal. It is mainly used to indicate that when a signal or channel is received, its spatial characteristic parameters and other information are the same as the spatial characteristic parameters of the reference signal included in the TCI. Similar, similar.

A TCI state (TCI state) can be configured with one or more reference signals that are referenced, and the associated QCL type (QCL type). QCL types can be divided into four categories: A/B/C/D, which are different combinations or choices of {Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread, and spatial Rx parameter}. The TCI status includes QCL information, or the TCI status is used to indicate QCL information.

3. Synchronous signal broadcast channel block (synchronous signal/PBCH block, SS/PBCH block):

SS/PBCH block can also be called SSB. Among them, PBCH is the abbreviation of physical broadcast channel. The SSB includes at least one of a primary synchronization signal (primary synchronization signal, PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (secondary synchronization signal, SSS), and a PBCH. It is mainly used for cell search, cell synchronization, and signals that carry broadcast information.

The convergence protocol (PDCP) layer, the radio link control (RLC) layer, the media access control sublayer (media access control, MAC) layer, and the physical layer. Among them, exemplarily, the CU may be used to implement the functions of the RRC layer, the SDAP layer, and the PDCP layer, and the DU may be used to implement the functions of the RLC layer, the MAC layer, and the physical layer. The embodiment of this application does not specifically limit the protocol stack included in the CU and DU. CU and DU can be defined and connected by the F1AP interface protocol. For example, taking gNB as an example, the structure of gNB may be as shown in FIG. 3.

Exemplarily, the CU in the embodiment of the present application may be further divided into a control plane (CU-control plane, CU-CP) network element and at least one user plane (CU-user plane, CU-UP) network element. Among them, CU-CP can be used for control plane management, and CU-UP can be used for user plane data transmission. The application protocol layer (application protocol, AP) interface between the CU-CP and the CU-UP may be an E1 port. The application protocol layer interface between CU-CP and DU can be F1-C, which is used for the transmission of control plane signaling. The application protocol layer interface between CU-UP and DU can be F1-U, which is used for user plane data transmission. CU-UP and CU-UP can communicate through the application protocol layer Xn-U interface for user plane data transmission. For example, taking gNB as an example, the structure of gNB may be as shown in FIG. 4. In an architecture with separate protocol stacks (such as CU-DU, etc.), in an implementation manner, the IAB node can be configured as a DU, and the IAB host can be configured as a CU.

Refer to Figure 5, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of an IAB node. The IAB node is composed of two parts: a mobile terminal (MT) and a DU. The MT function can be understood as a logical module similar to the UE. In the IAB node, the MT is called a function (or module) that resides on the IAB node. Since the MT is similar to the function of an ordinary UE, it can be considered that the IAB node accesses the upper node or the IAB host through the MT. The DU function is the same as the DU of a normal base station, and can be understood as a logic module similar to a base station. In IAB, DU is called a function (or module) that resides on the IAB node. Since the DU is similar to the function or part of the function of an ordinary base station, it can be considered that the IAB node can allow the access of lower-level nodes and terminal equipment through the DU. The application protocol layer interface between the IAB host CU and the IAB node DU is the F1 interface, and the air interface between the IAB host DU or the IAB node DU and the downstream IAB node MT is the Uu interface, as shown in FIG. 6. It should be understood that the backhaul link communication between the IAB node and the IAB host is based on the Uu interface to realize the F1 interface communication at the application protocol layer.

Both the MT and DU of the IAB node have a complete transceiver unit, and there is an interface between the two. However, it should be noted that MT and DU are logical modules. In practice, they can share some sub-modules, for example, they can share transceiver antennas, baseband processing units, etc., as shown in Figure 7.

In a dynamic TDD scenario, when a base station performs downlink transmission, neighboring base stations may perform uplink reception. At this time, two types of CLI interference may occur in the network:

1. The interference of the downlink transmitting base station to the uplink receiving base station;

2. The interference of the uplink sending UE to the downlink receiving UE.

The existing NR protocol only standardizes the interference measurement between the UE and the UE, and the interference measurement between the base station and the base station is reserved for equipment vendors to implement.

The interference measurement between the UE and the UE is performed through SRS. Specifically, the potentially interfering UE performs SRS transmission under the scheduling of the base station, and the potentially interfered UE is configured with the SRS-based interference measurement process.

At present, the CLI measurement of NR mainly considers the interference measurement between UE and UE in the dynamic TDD scenario. However, since the IAB network has two types of links, backhaul and access, there are more complex inter-link interferences in the IAB network. For example, the following four types of inter-link interference may occur in the IAB network:

Case 1: Interference from MT transmission to MT reception, as shown in Figure 8 (a);

Case 2: The interference of DU transmission to MT reception, as shown in Figure 8 (b);

Case 3: Interference from MT transmission to DU reception, as shown in Figure 8 (c);

Case 4: Interference from DU transmission to DU reception, as shown in (d) in Figure 8.

Therefore, the interference measurement mechanism between the UE and the UE cannot be adapted to measure various CLIs in the IAB network.

Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide an interference measurement method and device, which are used to implement various CLI measurements in an IAB network. Among them, the method and the device are based on the same technical concept. Since the principles of the method and the device to solve the problem are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can be referred to each other, and the repetition will not be repeated.

It should be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "multiple" refers to two or more than two. "And/or" describes the association relationship of the associated object, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and/or B, which can mean: A alone exists, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone, where A, B can be singular or plural. The character "/" generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship. "The following at least one (item)" or similar expressions refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of a single item (a) or a plurality of items (a). For example, at least one of a, b, or c can mean: a, b, c, a and b, a and c, b and c, or a, b and c, where a, b, c It can be single or multiple.

The IAB node is a specific name of a relay node, which does not constitute a limitation to the solution of this application. It can be one of the aforementioned base stations or terminal devices with a forwarding function, or it can be an independent device form. For example, the IAB node of the present application may also be called a relay node (RN), a transmission and reception point (transmission and reception point), a relay transmission and reception point (relaying TRP), etc.

In addition, it should be understood that in the description of this application, words such as "first" and "second" are only used for the purpose of distinguishing description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance, nor can it be understood as indicating Or imply the order.

The interference measurement method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 9, a flowchart of an interference measurement method provided by this application, the method includes:

S901: The third node sends first configuration information to the first node, where the first configuration information is used to instruct the first node to perform interference measurement on the interfered link, and the third node is a host node or an upper-level node of the first node. Correspondingly, the first node receives the first configuration information sent by the third node.

The first configuration information may also be understood as being used to configure the first node to perform interference measurement and report on the interfered link.

The first node may be an IAB node, or a common base station or UE.

In an exemplary description, the interfered link may be a receiving backhaul link, or it may be understood as a link received by the MT. The interfered link is the receiving access link, which can also be understood as the link receiving the DU.

The first reference signal may be SSB or CSI-RS or sounding reference signal (SRS) or DMRS. Of course, the first reference signal may also be other, which will not be listed here.

Exemplarily, the first configuration information may include QCL information of the first reference signal, and the quasi-QCL information includes the reference signal identifier of the interfered link. For example, when measuring the interference received by the first node's receive backhaul link, the configuration information may include the TCI state configuration of the first reference signal.

As an example, the QCL information of the first reference signal may be indicated by the reference signal identifier of the reference signal received or sent by the first node, and the reference signal may be sent or received by the upper node of the first node, such as SS/PBCH index. , CSI-RS resource identifier, SRS resource identifier, etc.

Alternatively, the first configuration information may also include a measurement purpose configuration, and the measurement purpose configuration is used to instruct the first node to perform interference measurement on the interfered link. For example, the configuration information may include a measurement purpose, and the measurement purpose may include the first parameter. When the measurement purpose includes the first parameter, the measurement purpose may be used to instruct the first node to perform interference measurement on the interfered link. In addition, the measurement purpose may also be the second parameter, and when the measurement purpose includes the second parameter, the measurement purpose may be used to instruct the first node to perform RRM measurement. In a possible implementation manner, when the first parameter is defaulted, the measurement purpose may be used to instruct the first node to perform RRM measurement, that is, the RRM measurement may be the default measurement purpose.

Alternatively, the first configuration information may include QCL information of the interfered link and a measurement purpose configuration, and the measurement purpose configuration is used to instruct the first node to perform interference measurement on the interfered link.

In an implementation manner, the first configuration information may be included in at least one of the following configuration information:

Synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block measurement configuration (SS/PBCH Block measurement timing configuration, SMTC);

Mobility measurement CSI-RS configuration (CSI-RS-ResourceConfigMobility);

Measurement object (MO) configuration;

Measurement configuration (measurement configuration, MeasConfig);

Measurement report configuration (reporting configuration, reportConfig).

For example, the first configuration information may be included in the MO. Exemplarily, the configuration information element (information element, IE) of the MO may be as follows:

For another example, the first configuration information may be included in MeasConfig. Exemplarily, the configuration information element of MeasConfig may be as follows:

In some embodiments, if the first configuration information includes the QCL information of the first reference signal and the measurement purpose configuration, the quasi-QCL information includes the reference signal identifier of the interfered link. The QCL information of the interfered link and the measurement purpose configuration may be included in different configuration information. For example, the QCL information of the interfered link may be included in the MO, and the measurement purpose configuration may be included in the MeasConfig.

E.g:

In a possible implementation manner, the first configuration information implicitly indicates the measurement purpose, or the first configuration information implicitly indicates the QCL information for interference measurement. For example, the first configuration information indicates the identifier of the interfered link, and when the first node receives the identifier of the interfered link, the foregoing interference measurement is performed. The interfered link can be identified in the following ways: upper-level node identifier, serving cell ID identifier, cell PCI, UE identifier, RNTI identifier, MT identifier, subordinate node identifier, etc.

In addition, the third node may also configure the interference measurement report configuration for the interference measurement report for the interfered link for the first node. This interference measurement report configuration instructs the first node to perform interference measurement. At this time, the first node reuses some or all of the RRM measurement parameters when performing interference measurement.

In a possible implementation manner, the third node may also configure RRM measurement to the first node. For example, SMTC, MO, MeasConfig or reportConfig, etc. may include RRM measurement configuration information. That is, the CLI and RRM measurement performed by the first node can share part of the configuration information.

Through the above configuration method, the first node can select a suitable beam for interference measurement. For example, suppose that the first configuration information includes QCL information of the first reference signal, and the quasi-QCL information includes the reference signal identifier of the interfered link. The first node may select a beam having a QCL relationship with the interfered link to perform interference measurement.

In some embodiments, the first configuration information may carry first identification information, and the first identification information is used to identify the interfered link.

In an implementation manner, the first identification information may include at least one of the following information: node information of the fifth node, beam information of the transmission beam used when the first node sends a signal to the fifth node, and the link corresponding to the interference The beam information of the beam, where the fifth node and the first node are two end points of the interfered link. For example, assuming that the interfered link is a receiving backhaul link, the fifth node may be an upper node of the first node, and the first identification information may include at least one of the following information: node information of the fifth node, the first node The beam information of the transmitting beam used when the MT of one node transmits a signal, and the beam information of the receiving beam used when the MT of the first node receives the signal.

If the first identification information includes the beam information of the transmission beam when the MT of the first node transmits, it can be understood that the spatial filter for the MT of the first node to receive the first reference signal is the same as the spatial filter for the MT to send the signal to the fifth node. .

If the first identification information includes the beam information of the receiving beam when the MT of the first node receives, it can be understood as a spatial filter for the MT of the first node to receive the first reference signal and a spatial filter for the MT to receive the signal sent by the fifth node same.

For another example, assuming that the interfered link is a receiving access link, the fifth node may be a subordinate node of the first node, such as a terminal device, and the first identification information may include at least one of the following information: The node information, the beam information of the transmitting beam when the DU of the first node sends a signal, and the beam information of the receiving beam when the DU of the first node receives a signal.

If the first identification information includes the beam information of the transmission beam when the DU of the first node is sent, it can be understood that the spatial filter for the MT of the first node to receive the first reference signal is the same as the spatial filter for the DU to send the signal to the fifth node. .

If the first identification information includes the beam information of the receiving beam when the DU of the first node is received, it can be understood as a spatial filter for the MT of the first node to receive the first reference signal and a spatial filter for the DU to receive the signal sent by the fifth node same.

Exemplarily, the beam information may include at least one of the following information: QCL information, TCI state, spatial relationship (spatialRelationInfo), and reference signal information.

The node information of the fifth node may be, but is not limited to, node identification, interfered cell or cell group information, and so on. For example, if the interfered link is a receiving backhaul link, the node identifier may be the identifier of the superior node corresponding to the interfered link. For another example, if the interfered link is a receiving access link, the node identifier may be the identification of the terminal device corresponding to the interfered link. Exemplarily, the node identification may be a node number, cell ID, cell physical ID, RNTI, cell group identification, etc.

In some implementation scenarios, the first node may need to measure the interference on multiple interfered links, where the multiple interfered links may respectively correspond to multiple upper-level nodes and/or lower-level nodes. Therefore, through the above method, it is possible to distinguish the interference measurement on different interfered links in the multi-link scenario.

Taking the interfered link as the receiving backhaul link as an example, suppose the first node includes two upper-level nodes, and the first node uses different beams to measure the interference on the corresponding links of different upper-level nodes. Therefore, the first configuration information may include The node identifier of the first upper-level node indicates that the link between the first upper-level node and the first node is the interfered link to be measured; the first configuration information may include the node identifier of the second upper-level node, indicating the second upper-level node The link with the first node is the interfered link to be measured, so that the first node can distinguish the first configuration information of the two upper-level nodes, so that it can choose when measuring the interference on the corresponding links of the two upper-level nodes The right beam.

S902: The first node receives, according to the first configuration information, a first reference signal sent by at least one second node.

The second node may be an IAB node, or may be a common base station or UE. In the following description, the second node is an IAB node as an example.

In an implementation manner, the first node may select an appropriate beam according to the first configuration information, for example, select a beam corresponding to the interfered link as a receiving beam to receive the first reference signal sent by at least one second node. Compared with receiving the reference signal in the manner of beam scanning, in the foregoing implementation manner, the beam corresponding to the interfered link is used to receive the reference signal, which can more accurately determine the device that interferes with the interfered link.

For example, when measuring the interference on the receive backhaul link of the first node, the first node can use the beam corresponding to the receive backhaul link to receive the first reference signal sent by at least one second node, so that the The interference received in the beam direction corresponding to the transmission link.

For example, if the first node uses beam scanning to receive the reference signal, the determined high-interference beam may not necessarily be a beam that causes high interference to the first node's reception. Taking FIG. 10 as an example, the IAB node 1 receives the reference signals of the IAB node 2 and the IAB node 3 when the reference signal is received in the beam scanning mode, and the received signal strength of the IAB node 2 is greater. However, the receiving beam used by the IAB node 1 when measuring the signal strength of the IAB node 3 is closer to the beam used by the IAB node 3 to receive the backhaul link. Therefore, the IAB node 3 interferes more with the MT reception of the IAB node 1. With the method provided by the implementation of this application, the first node can select the beam received by the MT as the reference signal of the IAB node 2 and the IAB node 3, so that it can be more accurately determined that the IAB node 3 interferes with the interfered link. equipment.

S903: The first node performs interference measurement based on the first reference signal sent by the at least one second node.

In one implementation, the first node can measure the signal quality of the interfered link and the signal quality of the first reference signal sent by each second node, and according to the signal quality of the interfered link and the signal quality of each second node The signal quality of the first reference signal determines the nodes and beams that cause greater interference to the interfered link. For example, when the difference between the signal quality value of the interfered link minus the signal quality value of the first reference signal is less than the threshold value, it can be considered that the first reference signal causes greater interference to the interfered link.

Among them, the parameter used to characterize signal quality can be but not limited to reference signal received power (RSRP), and the parameter used to characterize signal quality can be, but not limited to reference signal received quality (RSRP). ).

For example, suppose that the first node MT measures that the RSRP of the first reference signal sent by node i is RSRP_i, and records the superior node of the first node as node 0. When the difference of RSRP_0 minus RSRP_i is less than the threshold, it can be considered that node i Interference will occur when the first node receives the backhaul link.

In a possible implementation manner, the first node may send report information to the third node after performing interference measurement based on the first reference signal sent by at least one second node.

In a possible implementation manner, when the RSRP_i measured by the first node exceeds a certain preset threshold, the first node reports the interference measurement result.

In a possible implementation manner, when the difference between RSRP_i and RSRP_0 measured by the first node exceeds a preset threshold, the first node reports the interference measurement result.

In another possible implementation manner, the first node reports several measurement results with the largest RSRP_i and the corresponding node identifier i.

In some embodiments, the first node may carry the above-mentioned first identification information in the reported information.

Taking the interfered link as the receiving backhaul link as an example, suppose the first node includes two upper-level nodes, and the first node uses different beams to measure the interference on the corresponding links of different upper-level nodes, so the first-level node reports information The node identifier of the first upper-level node may be included in the first upper-level node, and the report information of the second upper-level node may include the node identifier of the second upper-level node, so that the third node can distinguish the reported information of the two upper-level nodes.

An IAB network interference method is proposed in the embodiments of this application. By this method, interference measurement in the IAB network can be implemented. In addition, most of the parameters and parameters of radio resource management (RRM) can be used in the embodiments of this application. The process realizes the CLI measurement in the IAB network.

In an implementation manner, after the first node performs the interference measurement based on the first reference signal sent by the at least one second node, the first node may also repeat the interference measurement. The beam for sending data by the second node may not completely overlap with the beam for sending the first reference signal. For example, the beam for sending data is narrower than the beam for sending the first reference signal. In the above method, the first node can repeat interference measurement. Improve the accuracy of interference measurement, so that the interference beam can be determined more accurately.

For example, after the first node performs interference measurement based on the first reference signal sent by at least one second node, the first node may receive the second reference signal sent by one or more of the at least one second node, and Perform interference measurement according to the second reference signal sent by the one or more second nodes. Wherein, the second reference signal has an associated relationship with the first reference signal, for example, the second reference signal has a QCL relationship with the first reference signal.

Wherein, the second reference signal may be SSB or CSI-RS or SRS or DMRS. Of course, the second reference signal may also be other, which will not be listed here. In an exemplary illustration, the second reference signal may be different from the first reference signal. For example, the beam for transmitting the second reference signal has a narrower width than the beam for transmitting the first reference signal.

As an example, in the first interference measurement process, the interference measured by the first node is the interference of the second node sending the first reference signal beam. However, in subsequent transmissions, the second node may use the same The beams with different signal beams perform downlink channel and signal transmission such as PDSCH. In order to measure the interference of the actual transmission beam to the first node, the second node may further send a second reference signal, and the first node may perform a corresponding second reference signal interference measurement.

In a possible implementation manner, the second node may send the first reference signal according to the second configuration information sent by the fourth node when sending the first reference signal, and the second configuration information is used to configure the second node to send the first reference signal. When the second node sends the second reference signal, the sending may be performed according to the third configuration information sent by the fourth node, and the third configuration information is used to configure the second node to send the second reference signal.

In an exemplary illustration, the third configuration information may include the identifier of the first reference signal. Among them, the fourth node is a host node or an upper-level node of the second node. In an example, when the second node and the first node access the same host node or access the same upper-level node, the fourth node and the third node may be the same node.

In some embodiments, the second configuration information and/or the third configuration information may carry second identification information, and the second identification information is used to identify the interference link.

In an implementation manner, the second identification information may include at least one of the following information: node information of the sixth node, beam information of the receiving beam used when the second node receives the signal sent by the sixth node, interference link location The beam information of the corresponding beam, where the sixth node and the second node are two end points of the interference link.

For example, assuming that the interference link is a transmission backhaul link, the sixth node may be an upper-level node of the second node, and the second identification information may include at least one of the following information: node information of the sixth node, second The beam information of the transmission beam used when the MT of the node transmits a signal, and the beam information of the reception beam used when the MT of the second node receives the signal.

If the second identification information includes the beam information of the transmission beam when the MT of the second node transmits, it can be understood that the spatial filter for the DU of the second node to send the reference signal is the same as the spatial filter for the MT to send the signal to the sixth node.

If the second identification information includes the beam information of the receiving beam when the MT of the second node receives the MT, it can be understood that the spatial filter for the DU of the second node to send the reference signal is the same as the spatial filter for the MT to receive the signal from the sixth node.

For another example, assuming that the interference link is a transmission access link, the sixth node may be a subordinate node of the second node, such as a terminal device, and the second identification information may include at least one of the following information: the node of the sixth node Information, the beam information of the transmitting beam when the DU of the second node sends a signal, and the beam information of the receiving beam when the DU of the second node receives a signal.

If the second identification information includes the beam information of the sending beam when the DU of the second node is sent, it can be understood that the spatial filter for sending the reference signal by the DU of the second node is the same as the spatial filter for sending the signal to the sixth node by the DU.

If the second identification information includes the beam information of the receiving beam when the DU of the second node is received, it can be understood that the spatial filter for the DU of the second node to send the reference signal is the same as the spatial filter for the DU to receive the signal from the sixth node.

Exemplarily, the beam information may include at least one of the following information: QCL information, TCI state, spatialRelationInfo, and reference signal information.

The node information of the sixth node is similar to the node information of the above-mentioned fifth node, and the repetition is not repeated here.

In some embodiments, before the first node receives the second reference signal sent by the second node, the first node may report the identification of the first reference signal sent by the one or more second nodes to the third node. Therefore, the fourth node can configure the third configuration information for the one or more second nodes according to the identifier. Wherein, if the fourth node and the third node are the same node, the fourth node may receive the identifier reported by the first node, so that the third configuration information may be configured according to the identifier. If the fourth node and the third node are different nodes, the fourth node may obtain the identifier from the third node, so that the third configuration information may be configured according to the identifier.

Exemplarily, the first node may report the one or more second node identifiers and the second node's transmission when the first reference signal sent by the one or more second nodes has greater interference to the interfered link. The identification of the first reference signal. For example, suppose that the first node MT measures that the RSRP of the first reference signal sent by node i is RSRP_i, and records the superior node of the first node as node 0. When the difference of RSRP_0 minus RSRP_i is less than the threshold, it can be considered that node i It will cause greater interference to the first node to receive the backhaul link, and thus report the identity of node i and the first reference signal sent by node i to the third node.

In some embodiments, the beam for sending the first reference signal by the second node is different from the beam for sending the second reference signal, and due to the difference in beam width and beam direction, one beam for sending the first reference signal may correspond to multiple beams. The beam for transmitting the second reference signal, or one first reference signal resource may correspond to multiple second reference signal resources. When the fourth node instructs the second node to send a second reference signal associated with a first reference signal, multiple second reference signal resources, such as M, may be configured for the second node, where M is greater than or equal to 1. An integer, that is, the third configuration information may be used to instruct the second node to send M second reference signals, or the third configuration information may configure M second reference signal sending resources for the second node.

In an example, the configuration information of the M second reference signal resources includes the associated first reference signal information, and the first reference signal may be an SSB, that is, the third configuration information may carry an SSB identifier. After receiving the third configuration information, the second node may send M transmission beams of the second reference signal that are close to the transmission beam of the first reference signal. Wherein, the sending beams of the M second reference signals may include beams that may be used by the second node to transmit the PDSCH.

In an exemplary description, the value of M may be the number of fixed split beams of the transmission beam of the first reference signal, that is, the transmission beam of the first reference signal of the second node can always be split into M beams. Since the PDSCH of the second node may use one or more of these M beams, the beam that interferes with the interfered link can be determined more accurately through the above method.

In another exemplary illustration, the value of M may not be fixed. For example, the second node may have a different value of M according to the scheduling situation.

In a possible implementation manner, different first reference signals correspond to different values of M, and in another possible implementation, different first reference signals correspond to the same value of M.

In some embodiments, before the second node receives the third configuration information sent by the fourth node, it may also report the number of second reference signals associated with the first reference signal to the fourth node. Therefore, the fourth node can configure the third configuration information according to the number. For example, if the number of second reference signals that are associated with the first reference signal reported by the second node is K, the third configuration information can be used to configure the first reference signal. The two nodes send M second reference signals. Optionally, the value of M can be less than or equal to K. Through the above method, the fourth node can obtain the accurate value of M.

In a possible implementation manner, the second node may only report one value of K, and any SSB of the second node corresponds to K CSI-RS resources.

In another possible implementation manner, the second node may determine the K value corresponding to the first reference signal according to the identifier of the first reference signal, so as to report the K value corresponding to the first reference signal to the fourth node.

In a specific implementation, the value of K corresponding to the same SSB may change, so the second node may update and report the value of K corresponding to the first reference signal. For example, the fourth node may configure several first reference signal identifiers for the second node. When the value of K corresponding to the configured first reference signal identifier changes, the second node may update and report the K corresponding to the first reference signal identifier. The value of.

After the fourth node configures the second node to send the M second reference signal resources associated with the first reference signal, the third node can configure the first node to perform the corresponding second reference signal measurement, and the second reference signal measurement The configuration can be similar to the measurement configuration method of the first reference signal, and the repetition is not repeated here. Wherein, when the third node configures the first node to perform interference measurement on the second reference signal, the configuration information may carry information of the associated first reference signal, such as the identifier of the first reference signal.

In an implementation manner, the fourth node may send configuration information, such as first configuration information, second configuration information, etc., to the second node through interface signaling such as F1-AP, or air interface signaling such as RRC.

The third node may send configuration information, such as first configuration information, to the first node through interface signaling such as F1-AP, or air interface signaling such as RRC.

In an implementation manner, if the first reference signal or the second reference signal is an SSB, the fourth node can reuse the existing SSB transmission configuration (SSB transmission configuration, STC) configuration.

In order to better understand the solution provided by the embodiments of this application, a scenario where the link sent by the DU of the IAB node 2 interferes with the link received by the MT of the IAB node 1, as shown in Figure 8 (b) as an example, The interference measurement process is described in detail, where the IAB node 2 and the IAB node 1 can access the same host node.

Referring to Fig. 8 (b), when the MT of the IAB node 1 receives a downlink signal from an upper-level node, the DU of the IAB node 2 is sending a downlink signal for a lower-level node (such as a UE or a lower-level IAB node). Therefore, the DU transmission of the IAB node 2 may interfere with the MT reception of the IAB node 1.

Example 1: Based on the scenario shown in (b) in Figure 8, the interference measurement process can be as shown in Figure 11:

S1101: The host node sends second configuration information to the IAB node 2. Wherein, the second configuration information tool can refer to the above related description, which will not be repeated here.

S1102: The IAB node 2 sends the first reference signal.

S1103: The host node sends first configuration information to the IAB node 1. Among them, the first configuration information tool can refer to the above related description, which will not be repeated here.

S1104: The IAB node 1 receives the first reference signal sent by the IAB node 2 according to the first configuration information, and performs interference measurement.

In an implementation manner, the IAB node 1 may select an appropriate beam to receive the first reference signal sent by the IAB node 2 according to the first configuration information. For example, the IAB node 1 may select the beam corresponding to the MT receiving link as the receiving beam to receive the first reference signal sent by the IAB node 2 according to the first configuration information.

For the process of the IAB node 1 performing interference measurement on the first reference signal, reference may be made to the related description of step S904 above, and details are not repeated here.
