In the NR system, a carrier bandwidth can be divided into multiple BWPs. A UE can be configured with multiple BWPs at the same time, but the UE can only have at most one active downlink BWP and one active uplink on a serving cell at the same time BWP (but in the case of a serving cell with two uplink carriers, there can be two activated uplink carriers, and each uplink carrier has an activated uplink BWP). If the UE is configured with multiple carriers, then each carrier can have an activated uplink and downlink BWP. For the paired spectrum including the uplink carrier and the downlink carrier, the uplink BWP and the downlink BWP are independently configured; for the uplink and downlink unpaired spectrum on the same carrier, the uplink BWP and the downlink BWP are the same BWP.

R15NR supports the function of automatically falling back to the default or initial BWP when the activated downlink BWP is inactive for a period of time. The network can configure an initial BWP for each serving cell of the UE, the default BWP, and a BWP inactivity timer. , Are configured per cell. If the BWP inactivity timer is configured for the cell, it means that the function of automatically falling back to the default or initial BWP is enabled. If this function is enabled and the current active BWP on the cell is inactive for a period of time and the BWP inactivation timer is started, the active cell will automatically fall back to the default BWP. If the default BWP is not configured, then fall back to the initial BWP. The default BWP is considered to be a small bandwidth BWP considered for UE power saving.

In the NR-Lite feature of R17, a new type of terminal is introduced to cope with R15/R16's Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB)/high reliability and low latency (Ultra Reliable and Low Latency Communication, URLLC) /Scenarios other than Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC), that is, the required rate, delay, and reliability are not covered by the above scenarios. For example, the rate is lower than eMBB, but higher than mMTC requirements, and the delay and reliability requirements are more relaxed than URLLC. The three typical application scenarios are factory sensors, video surveillance, and wearable devices. Therefore, it can be considered that this feature introduces a light-weight UE. This type of UE has the following characteristics: 1. RX is reduced, from 4 of R15 to 2 or 1; 2. Bandwidth is reduced, the typical value of FR1 is 5MHz/10MHz, and the typical value of FR2 is 40MHz; 3. UE Processing capacity is reduced; it may support smaller transport block size (TBsize) and downlink control information size (DCI size); at this time, frequency hopping transmission needs to be considered to obtain frequency diversity gain. However, in the resource allocation process, the UE can only work on a small bandwidth, that is, 5 MHz or 10 MHz. In fact, the bandwidth configured by the BWP is likely to be much larger than the working bandwidth of the UE. Therefore, it is necessary to consider how the UE works in the current BWP frequency hopping. At this time, the change of the frequency hopping pattern can be indicated in the DCI authorized for the data scheduling of the UE. In the power saving project of R16, a wake-up signal (Wake up signal, WUS) is also introduced to wake up the UE for subsequent PDCCH monitoring.

Based on the above-mentioned wireless communication system, how to realize fast frequency hopping of the UE, various embodiments of the method of the present disclosure are proposed.

Fig. 2 is a first flowchart of a communication method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in Fig. 2, the communication method is used in a network device such as a base station, and the network device can configure at least a user equipment (UE) A bandwidth part (BWP), the communication method includes the following steps:

In step S11, the user equipment (UE) is configured with frequency hopping configuration information corresponding to one or more bandwidth parts (BWP), and the frequency hopping configuration information is related to the frequency hopping used on the one or more BWPs. Is associated with the frequency hopping pattern;

In step S12, the frequency hopping configuration information is carried in a BWP handover command or a wake-up signal and sent to the UE.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the frequency hopping configuration information includes: a set of parameters associated with the frequency hopping pattern, or indication information indicating the frequency hopping pattern.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the frequency hopping pattern includes one or more of where to start frequency hopping, frequency hopping sequence, and frequency hopping interval.

In this way, no special signaling is required to indicate frequency hopping configuration information, and the frequency hopping configuration information is indicated based on the BWP switching command or wake-up signal, which can reduce system signaling overhead; at the same time, the frequency hopping configuration is carried in the BWP switching command or wake-up signal Information, can realize the fast frequency hopping of UE.

In some embodiments, configuring frequency hopping configuration information corresponding to one or more BWPs for the UE includes:

Configure different frequency hopping configuration information for different UEs. In other words, the frequency hopping configuration information corresponding to different UEs may be different. For example, for the same BWP, the frequency hopping configuration information configured for different UEs may be different. In another example, for different BWPs, the frequency hopping configuration information configured for different UEs may also be the same.

Different frequency hopping configuration information is respectively configured for the one or more BWPs.

In other words, the frequency hopping configuration information corresponding to different BWPs of the same UE may be different.

In some embodiments, the frequency hopping configuration information includes a set of parameters associated with the frequency hopping pattern; step S12 includes:

Step S12a (not shown in FIG. 2): Send a BWP switching command or wake-up signal carrying a set of parameters associated with the frequency hopping pattern to the UE.

Among them, each group of parameters includes one or more of the following parameters:

For example, the frequency hopping sequence includes positive sequence hopping or reverse sequence hopping.

Exemplarily, the basic unit of frequency hopping of the UE is a sub-band (may be referred to as a sub-band). If the BWP bandwidth is 100M, the subband size is 5M. At this time, there are 20 subbands on the BWP, marked as 0-19. The UE performs frequency hopping transmission in the BWP according to 5M, and according to a frequency hopping pattern, for example, the subbands are hopped in modulo 4 order, that is, the UE performs frequency hopping transmission at 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 0; A frequency hopping pattern, for example, the subbands are hopped in reverse order in modulo 4, that is, the UE transmits at 16, 12, 8, 4, 0, and 16 frequency hopping. Here, modulo 4 represents the frequency hopping interval.

Exemplarily, if the starting position of the frequency hopping is subband 1, the frequency hopping interval is 4, and the frequency hopping is sequential, then the UE transmits at 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 1 frequency hopping. For another example, if the frequency hopping start position is subband 19, the frequency hopping interval is 4, and the frequency hopping is reversed, that is, the UE transmits at 19, 15, 11, 7, 3, 19 frequency hopping.

In this way, a set of parameters associated with the frequency hopping pattern is carried in the BWP handover command or wake-up signal, and the frequency hopping pattern of the UE is instructed to be adjusted based on the BWP handover command or wake-up signal, and no special signaling is required to indicate the frequency hopping pattern. The system signaling overhead can be reduced, and fast frequency hopping of the UE can also be achieved.

In some embodiments, the frequency hopping configuration information includes indication information indicating the frequency hopping pattern; step S12 includes:

Step S12b (not shown in FIG. 2): Send a BWP handover command or wake-up signal carrying the indication information to the UE.

In this way, the BWP handover command or wake-up signal carries the indication information indicating the frequency hopping pattern, and the BWP handover command or wake-up signal is used to instruct to adjust the UE’s frequency hopping pattern. There is no need to use special signaling to indicate the frequency hopping pattern, which can reduce the system The signaling overhead can also achieve fast frequency hopping of the UE. In some embodiments, the method further includes:

Exemplarily, the frequency hopping candidate parameter set includes two sets of parameters, the first set of parameters corresponds to frequency hopping pattern 1, the second set of parameters corresponds to frequency hopping pattern 2, the first set of parameters corresponds to index value 000, and the second set of parameters corresponds to index value 100, then the UE can determine the frequency hopping pattern as frequency hopping pattern 1 according to the index value of 000, and can determine the frequency hopping pattern as frequency hopping pattern 2 according to the index value of 100.

In this way, it is convenient for the UE to pre-store the frequency hopping candidate parameter set sent by the network device, and upon receiving the BWP switching command or wake-up signal carrying the index value of the frequency hopping pattern sent by the network device, it can be based on the index value and the frequency hopping candidate parameter set Determine the frequency hopping pattern of BWP. At the same time, it is also convenient for the network device to indicate the frequency hopping pattern by carrying the index value of the frequency hopping pattern in the BWP switching command or wake-up signal, further reducing the size of the frequency hopping configuration information carried in the BWP switching command or wake-up signal.

In some embodiments, the indication information includes the index value of the frequency hopping pattern in the frequency hopping candidate parameter set; the step S12b includes:

Step 12b1 (not shown in FIG. 2): Send a BWP handover command or wake-up signal carrying the index value to the UE.

In this way, it is convenient for the UE to determine the frequency hopping pattern corresponding to the indication information indicating the frequency hopping pattern accurately from the set of frequency hopping candidate parameters, thereby improving the reliability of determining the frequency hopping pattern. At the same time, it is also convenient for the network device to indicate the frequency hopping pattern by carrying the index value of the frequency hopping pattern in the BWP switching command or wake-up signal, further reducing the size of the frequency hopping configuration information carried in the BWP switching command or wake-up signal.

In some embodiments, the frequency hopping configuration information further includes at least one of the following indication information:

Instruction information to enable or disable frequency hopping;

It should be noted that the instruction information may include but is not limited to the above-exemplified situations. Of course, the instruction information may specifically include one or a combination of multiple items listed above, which is not limited herein.

In the following, when instructing the UE to perform the BWP handover, the base station can carry the frequency hopping configuration information used on the target BWP in the handover command instructing the UE to perform the BWP handover as an example for description. a) As an embodiment, the BWP handover command carries the index value of a certain set of frequency hopping pattern in the UE's frequency hopping configuration candidate parameter set, so that the UE derives the frequency hopping pattern of the target BWP according to the index value. b) As an embodiment, the UE's frequency hopping pattern related parameters can be directly carried in the BWP handover command. c) As an embodiment, the BWP handover command can directly carry the indication information of the UE's frequency hopping pattern enable (Enable) or not (Disable); d) As an embodiment, the BWP handover command does not carry Any indication information means that frequency hopping is not enabled (Disable) on the target BWP. e) As an embodiment, not carrying any indication information in the BWP handover command means that the frequency hopping pattern on the target BWP follows the frequency hopping pattern of the original BWP. f) As an embodiment, the BWP handover command may carry indication information whether the frequency hopping is for the control channel (PDCCH) or for the traffic channel (PDSCH/PUSCH).

In the following, when waking up the UE, the base station can carry the frequency hopping configuration information used on the currently used BWP in the wakeup command as an example for description. a) As an embodiment, the wake-up command carries the index value (index) of a certain frequency hopping pattern in the UE's frequency hopping configuration candidate parameter set, so that the UE derives the frequency hopping pattern of the target BWP according to the index value. b) As an embodiment, the UE's frequency hopping pattern related parameters can be directly carried in the wake-up command. c) As an embodiment, the wake-up command can directly carry the indication information of whether the frequency hopping pattern of the UE is enabled (Enable) or not (Disable). d) As an embodiment, not carrying any indication information in the wake-up command means that frequency hopping is not enabled (Disable) on the target BWP. e) As an embodiment, the wake-up command may carry indication information whether the frequency hopping is for the control channel (PDCCH) or for the traffic channel (PDSCH/PUSCH).

In some embodiments, the method further includes:

In some embodiments, the first indication information is sent through a broadcast message or dedicated signaling.

In this way, for the scenario of switching to the default BWP or the initial BWP based on the timeout of the inactivation timer, because there is no switching command instructing the UE to perform BWP switching at this time, the UE can be notified in advance of the frequency hopping pattern used by the default BWP or the initial BWP.

Exemplarily, the bandwidth of the default BWP or the initial BWP itself is relatively narrow, and it is very likely that it does not have frequency hopping. Therefore, the UE can be notified in a broadcast message or dedicated signaling to not start frequency hopping in the default BWP or initial BWP scenario. When the UE switches to the default BWP or the initial BWP scenario based on the inactivity timer timeout, frequency hopping is not started.

Using the technical solution described in the present disclosure, the UE is configured with frequency hopping configuration information corresponding to one or more BWPs, the frequency hopping configuration information and the frequency hopping pattern used for frequency hopping on the one or more BWPs Associated; the frequency hopping configuration information is carried on the BWP handover command or the wake-up signal is sent to the UE; in this way, as opposed to sending frequency hopping configuration information through special signaling, the present disclosure carries the frequency hopping configuration information on The BWP handover command or wake-up signal can not only save signaling overhead, but also use non-data scheduling authorized DCI to instruct to change the frequency hopping pattern, which helps to achieve fast frequency hopping of the UE and obtain frequency diversity gain.
