Description

Method, device and equipment for determining status of HARQ process

Technical field

Background technique

Non-terrestrial communication network (non-terrestrial network, NTN) refers to a communication network between terminal equipment and satellites (also called network equipment).

In the NTN system, retransmission can be performed through a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) mechanism. In the HARQ mechanism, in the downlink process, after the terminal device receives the downlink data corresponding to a HARQ process sent by the network device, the terminal device decodes the downlink data and sends HARQ feedback to the network device according to the decoding result. After the network device receives the HARQ-ACK feedback sent by the terminal device, the network device sends other downlink data corresponding to the HARQ process to the terminal device. In the uplink process, within the preset time period after the terminal device sends uplink data to the network device through the HARQ process, if the network device schedules the terminal device to transmit uplink data through the HARQ process, the terminal device ignores the HARQ process. Scheduling, that is, the terminal device does not transmit uplink data through the HARQ process. However, because the transmission delay between the terminal device and the network device is relatively large, and the number of interactions for data transmission through the HARQ mechanism is relatively large, the efficiency of data transmission through the HARQ mechanism is low.

In order to better describe the principles and specific implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the relevant technical content of the embodiments of the present application will be described below.

Downlink control information (DCI): For terminal devices with downlink services, the network device can schedule the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission for the terminal device through the downlink authorized DCI. The downlink authorized DCI includes physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource indication information. After the terminal device receives the PDSCH, the terminal device can determine the decoding result (ACK or NACK information) of the PDSCH, and pass the The PUCCH resource feeds back the decoding result to the network device. In the NR system, the DCI format for PDSCH scheduling includes DCI format 1_0, DCI format 1_1, and DCI format 1_2. In the following, the information fields and bit sizes included in the DCI of each DCI format are introduced in conjunction with Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3 respectively.

Table 1

In Table 1, the downlink allocation index, the TPC command of the predetermined PUCCH, the PUCCH resource indication, and the PDSCH to HARQ feedback timing indication information field are used to feed back the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the PDSCH transmission.

Table 2

In Table 2, the downlink allocation index, TPC command of the scheduled PUCCH, PUCCH resource indicator, PDSCH to HARQ feedback timing indicator, single HARQ-ACK request, PDSCH group index, new feedback indicator, requested PDSCH group number information field It is used to feed back the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to PDSCH transmission.

table 3

In Table 3, the downlink allocation index, the TPC command of the predetermined PUCCH, the PUCCH resource indicator, and the PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indication information field are used to feed back the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the PDSCH transmission.

In Table 2 to Table 3 above, for DCI format 1_1 and DCI format 1_2, the size of most information fields included in DCI can be configured by network equipment through high-level parameters (for example, radio resource control (RRC) signaling) of. For example, when the number of bits corresponding to the information field in the DCI format is 0, it means that the information field may not be included in the DCI format.

In Table 1 to Table 3 above, if the communication transmission between the network device and the terminal device occurs on a shared spectrum (for example, on an unlicensed spectrum), or when the terminal device sends PUCCH through resources on the unlicensed spectrum, the above The DCI may include the channel access indication (ChannelAccess-CPext) information field; if the communication between the network device and the terminal device occurs on the licensed spectrum, the above DCI does not include the channel access indication (ChannelAccess-CPext) information area.

For terminal devices with uplink services, the network device can schedule physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission for the terminal device through the uplink authorization DCI. The uplink authorized DCI may include indication information for determining the PUSCH resource, and the terminal device may transmit the PUSCH on the determined PUSCH resource according to the uplink authorized DCI. In the NR system, the DCI format for scheduling PUSCH transmission includes DCI format 0_0, DCI format 0_1, or DCI format 0_2.

Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) mechanism: The HARQ mechanism is a medium access control (MAC) layer retransmission mechanism. The HARQ mechanism can retransmit data that has been lost or transmitted incorrectly. . The HARQ process includes an uplink HARQ process and a downlink HARQ process, and the uplink HARQ process and the downlink HARQ process are independent of each other.

In related technologies (for example, in the NR system), a stop-and-wait protocol (stop-and-wait protocol) is usually used for HARQ retransmission. When using the wait-stop protocol for HARQ retransmission, after the sender sends a transport block (TB) through a HARQ process, it stops and waits for the confirmation message sent by the receiver (the confirmation message is used to indicate whether the receiver receives the transmission correctly Block TB). During the waiting process, the sender cannot send other TBs to the terminal device through the HARQ process. After the receiving end receives a TB corresponding to the HARQ process, the receiving end decodes the TB. If the decoding is successful, the receiving end sends an acknowledgement message (ACK) to the sending end. If the decoding fails, the receiving end sends an acknowledgement message (ACK) to the sending end. The sender sends a negative acknowledgement (NACK). If the sending end receives the ACK information corresponding to the HARQ process, the sending end can send other TBs to the receiving end through the HARQ process. If the sender receives the NACK corresponding to the HARQ process, or the sender does not receive any response for a long time, the sender can retransmit the TB through the HARQ process. In the above process, when the sending end is a network device, the receiving end may be a terminal device. When the sending end is a terminal device, the receiving end may be a network device or another terminal device.

In related technologies, the network device can indicate the maximum number of HARQ processes in uplink and downlink to the terminal device by means of, for example, radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) signaling semi-static configuration. If the network device does not provide corresponding configuration parameters, the number of downlink HARQ processes may be a default value of 8, for example. The maximum number of HARQ processes supported by each carrier in the uplink can be 16. Among them, each HARQ process corresponds to a HARQ process number (HARQ process number, HPN), and the HARQ process number is also called HARQID (Identity, identification).

Figure 1 illustrates how the number of HARQ processes and the round-trip transmission time RTT affect the throughput of data transmission. As shown in Figure 1, the maximum number of HARQ processes configured by the terminal device is 16. The 16 HARQ processes include HARQ0 to HARQ15, and the 16 HARQ processes can be continuously scheduled within 16ms. Among them, for a HARQ process such as HARQ0, after it is scheduled, the HARQ process HARQ0 is in a stopped state during the data round-trip process and cannot be used to transmit other data. Therefore, the maximum number of HARQ processes in the terminal device shown in Figure 1 is In the scenario of 16, there may be the following situations:

If the RTT is less than 16ms, within the RTT range after HARQ0 is scheduled, when there is service data to be transmitted, the terminal device can always have parallel HARQ processes (one or more of HARQ1 to HARQ15) for data transmission; When the time after HARQ0 is scheduled exceeds RTT, HARQ0 can be used to transmit data again. Therefore, data can be continuously transmitted on the HARQ entity composed of HARQ0 to HARQ15 without affecting the maximum throughput of the terminal device. In addition, if the RTT is equal to 16ms and the maximum number of HARQ processes configured for the terminal device is 16, it can be seen that there are always HARQ processes that can transmit service data; however, if the maximum number of HARQ processes configured for the terminal device is less than 16, then When there is service data to be transmitted, it is possible that all HARQ processes are in a state of waiting for feedback from the network equipment, and then no HARQ process is available at this time, which affects the throughput of terminal equipment data transmission.

If the RTT is much greater than 16ms, for example, the RTT in the NTN system can reach 600ms. In practice, it is possible that all HARQ processes of the terminal device are in a state of not receiving feedback from the network device, and the terminal device has business data to be transmitted when , There will be no HARQ process available for a long time, which will seriously affect the throughput of terminal equipment data transmission.

That is to say, in the application scenario of the NTN system or other similar scenarios, due to the substantial increase in the RTT, the number of HARQ processes configured by the terminal device does not match the system RTT, and ultimately the system performance is degraded.

In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present application proposes a method for determining the state of the HARQ process. In order to facilitate the understanding of the method for determining the state of the HARQ process shown in this application, first, in conjunction with FIG. 2A-2B, the communication system in this application is The architecture is explained.

FIG. 2A is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication system provided by an embodiment of this application. Please refer to FIG. 2A, which includes a terminal device 201 and a satellite 202, and wireless communication can be performed between the terminal device 201 and the satellite 202. The network formed between the terminal device 201 and the satellite 202 may also be referred to as NTN. In the architecture of the communication system shown in FIG. 1, the satellite 202 has the function of a base station, and the terminal device 201 and the satellite 202 can directly communicate with each other. Under the system architecture, the satellite 202 can be referred to as a network device.

FIG. 2B is a schematic diagram of the architecture of another communication system provided by an embodiment of this application. Refer to FIG. 2B, which includes a terminal device 301, a satellite 302, and a base station 303. The terminal device 301 and the satellite 302 can communicate wirelessly, and the satellite 302 and the base station 303 can communicate. The network formed between the terminal device 301, the satellite 302, and the base station 303 may also be referred to as NTN. In the architecture of the communication system shown in FIG. 2, the satellite 302 does not have the function of a base station, and the communication between the terminal device 101 and the base station 303 needs to be relayed by the satellite 302. Under this type of system architecture, the base station 103 can be referred to as a network device.

It should be noted that FIGS. 2A-2B are only examples of the systems applicable to this application. Of course, the methods shown in the embodiments of this application can also be applied to other systems, such as 5G communication systems, LTE communication systems, etc. The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit this. The embodiments of the present application may include at least part of the following content.

In this application, in a scenario with a large RTT (such as NTN), in order to improve the data transmission efficiency between the terminal device and the network device, for the downlink HARQ process of the terminal device, the network device can configure or instruct the downlink to the terminal device The HARQ feedback function status corresponding to the HARQ process. For example, the HARQ feedback function state corresponding to the downlink HARQ process is configured as the disabled state. Correspondingly, if the terminal device determines that the HARQ feedback function status corresponding to the downlink HARQ process is in the disabled state, the terminal device is scheduled by the downlink authorization to receive data on the downlink HARQ process, and does not perform the HARQ process according to the downlink authorization. Perform HARQ-ACK information feedback. The network device does not need to wait for the HARQ-ACK information feedback corresponding to the HARQ process, and can continue to schedule other data to the terminal device through the HARQ process, so that the network device does not need to wait, and the data transmission efficiency between the terminal device and the network device is improved.

Or, for the uplink HARQ process of the terminal device, the network device may configure or indicate the HARQ feedback function status corresponding to the uplink HARQ process to the terminal device. For example, the HARQ feedback function state corresponding to the uplink HARQ process is configured as the disabled state. Correspondingly, if the terminal device determines that the HARQ feedback function status corresponding to the uplink HARQ process is in the disabled state, the terminal device is scheduled to be uplink authorized to send the TB on the uplink HARQ process without waiting for the network device’s feedback for the TB. With feedback, the uplink HARQ process can be used to transmit another TB again according to the instructions of the network device, which improves the efficiency of data transmission between the terminal device and the network device.

In this application, the state of the HARQ feedback function corresponding to the downlink HARQ process or the uplink HARQ process of the terminal device may be in the disabled state. For example, the network device may configure the HARQ feedback function state corresponding to part or all of the HARQ process of the terminal device to an enabled state or a non-enabled state. Among them, the non-enable state is also called the disabled state.

Optionally, for the downlink HARQ process, if the HARQ feedback function status corresponding to a HARQ process is enabled, the terminal device needs to send the HARQ-ACK corresponding to the TB to the network device after receiving the transport block TB through the HARQ process Information; or, the terminal device needs to receive feedback from the network device on the TB before it can use the HARQ process again; or, the terminal device needs to perform corresponding HARQ-ACK information feedback according to the DCI that schedules the TB; or, the terminal device passes the schedule according to the schedule The HARQ process transmits the DCI of the first physical channel to send the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first physical channel transmitted in the HARQ process to the network device.

Optionally, for the downlink HARQ process, if the HARQ feedback function status corresponding to a HARQ process is in the disabled state, then the terminal device does not need to send the HARQ-ACK corresponding to the TB to the network device after receiving the TB through the HARQ process Information; or, the terminal device can reuse the HARQ process without receiving feedback from the network device on the TB; or, the terminal device does not need to perform corresponding HARQ-ACK information feedback according to the DCI that schedules the TB; or, the terminal device The DCI of the first physical channel is transmitted through the HARQ process without scheduling, and the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first physical channel transmitted in the HARQ process is sent to the network device.

Optionally, in this application, the HARQ-ACK information includes ACK information or NACK information corresponding to the decoding result of the TB.

Optionally, for the uplink HARQ process, if the HARQ feedback function status corresponding to a HARQ process is enabled, then after the terminal device sends the transport block TB through the HARQ process, it needs to receive feedback from the network device on the TB before it can be used again The HARQ process (for example, the HARQ process is used to send a new TB or the TB is sent again); or, the terminal device waits for the network device's feedback of the first physical channel transmitted in the HARQ process.

Optionally, for the uplink HARQ process, if the HARQ feedback function status corresponding to a HARQ process is in the disabled state, it means that after the terminal device sends the TB through the HARQ process, it does not need to receive feedback from the network device on the TB. Use the HARQ process again (for example, use the HARQ process to send a new TB or send the TB again); or, the terminal device does not wait for the network device's feedback on the first physical channel transmitted in the HARQ process.

Optionally, the time interval between two uses of the same HARQ process is greater than or equal to the first time length, and/or the time interval between two uses of the same HARQ process may be less than the second time length. The first time length is determined according to the decoding time of the receiving device, and the second time length is determined according to RTT. Wherein, the first time length is less than the second time length.

Optionally, for downlink transmission, the feedback includes the terminal device sending HARQ-ACK information to the network device.

Optionally, for uplink transmission, the feedback includes the network device sending HARQ-ACK information to the terminal device, or the network device sending the uplink authorized DCI to the terminal device.

Optionally, for the downlink process:

When the HARQ process feedback function status of the HARQ process is disabled, the terminal device does not feedback the HARQ process (it can also be understood that the terminal device does not respond to the HARQ process). That is, after the network device sends the TB to the terminal device through the HARQ process, the terminal device does not need to send the feedback message (ACK, NACK or CSI) corresponding to the HARQ process to the network device, and the network device does not need to wait for the feedback message of the terminal device to pass the The HARQ process sends the TB again, for example, a new TB is transmitted through the HARQ process. It should be noted that the aforementioned non-enabled state may also be referred to as a disabled state.

Below, in conjunction with FIG. 3, the HARQ process in the non-enabled state will be described.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of processing a HARQ process in a non-enabled state according to an embodiment of the application. Referring to FIG. 3, it is assumed that the terminal device includes multiple HARQ processes, and HARQ process 7 of the multiple HARQ processes is a non-enabled HARQ process. The network device sends the downlink data corresponding to the PDSCH 0 to the terminal device through the HARQ process 7, and the NDI is 0. Since the HARQ process 7 is a non-enabled HARQ process, after the terminal device receives the downlink data corresponding to the HARQ process 7, the terminal device does not need to send the feedback message of the HARQ process 7 to the network device, and the network device does not need to wait for the terminal device to send The HARQ process 7 can send other data to the terminal device through the HARQ process 7. For example, the network device may send downlink data corresponding to PSDCH 1 to the terminal device through the HARQ process 7 and reverse the NDI to 1, where the reversal of the NDI indicates that the downlink data transmitted through the HARQ process 7 is a new downlink data packet. After the network device sends the downlink data corresponding to the PDSCH 1 to the terminal device, the network device can continue to send the new downlink data packet corresponding to the PDSCH 2 to the terminal device, and reverse the NDI to 0.

When the HARQ process feedback function status of the HARQ process is enabled, the terminal device feeds back the HARQ process (it can also be understood that the terminal device responds to the HARQ process). That is, after the network device sends the TB to the terminal device through the HARQ process, the terminal device needs to send a HARQ feedback message (ACK, NACK, or CSI) to the network device. After the network device receives the feedback message, the network device can send the TB through the HARQ process. If the retransmission is performed through the HARQ process, the TB is the retransmitted TB, and if the new data is transmitted through the HARQ process, the TB is the new TB.

Optionally, for the uplink process:

When the HARQ feedback function state of the HARQ process is in the disabled state, the terminal device does not wait for the network device to feedback the first physical channel transmitted in the HARQ process. The network device's feedback on the first physical channel in the first HARQ process includes at least one of the following: the network device sends HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first physical channel; and the network device sends an uplink grant for scheduling the first HARQ process for transmission. In this case, within the preset time period after the terminal device sends uplink data to the network device through the HARQ process, if the network device schedules the terminal device to perform uplink data transmission again through the HARQ process, the terminal device can pass The HARQ process performs uplink data transmission.

When the HARQ feedback function state of the HARQ process is in the enabled state, the terminal device waits for the feedback of the first physical channel transmitted in the HARQ process by the network device. In this case, within the preset time period after the terminal device sends uplink data to the network device through the HARQ process, if the network device schedules the terminal device to perform uplink data transmission again through the HARQ process, the terminal device ignores the Scheduling of HARQ process. In other words, the terminal device does not expect the network device to schedule the HARQ process again within the preset time period.

In this application, the network device may configure part or all of the HARQ processes in the terminal device to be in a disabled state, or the network device may also indicate the HARQ feedback function status of the HARQ process in the terminal device through DCI. Correspondingly, the terminal device can determine the HARQ feedback function status of the HARQ process according to the instruction information sent by the network device. In the downlink process, when the HARQ process is in the disabled state, the terminal device does not need to feedback the HARQ process to the network device, and the network device can continue to transmit other data to the terminal device through the HARQ process, so that the network device does not need to wait. Improve the efficiency of data transmission between terminal equipment and network equipment. In the uplink process, when the HARQ process is in the disabled state, after the terminal device transmits uplink data through the HARQ process, the terminal device does not need to wait for the preset time, and the terminal device can perform the uplink data transmission through the HARQ process again, which improves Improve the efficiency of data transmission between terminal equipment and network equipment.

Hereinafter, the method for determining the status of the HARQ process between the network device and the terminal device when the indication information may also include two or more of the first indication information, the second indication information, or the third indication information will be described. It can include the following multiple methods:

Manner 1. The indication information includes first indication information and second indication information.

In this manner, the network device may first send the first indication information to the terminal device, and the first indication information may configure the non-enabled HARQ process and/or the enabled HARQ process in the terminal device. After the terminal device receives the first indication information, the non-enabled HARQ process in the terminal device is not activated. The network device also sends second indication information to the terminal device, where the second indication information is used to activate or deactivate the non-enabled HARQ process configured by the first indication information. Of course, the network device may also send the first instruction information and the second instruction information to the terminal device at the same time, which is not limited in this application.

In the following, this method will be described with reference to FIG. 8 through a specific example.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of the HARQ feedback state of a HARQ process provided by an embodiment of the application. Assume that the terminal device includes 16 HARQ processes. Referring to Figure 8, at time t1, the network device may first send first indication information to the terminal device. The first indication information is used to configure the 16 HARQ processes in the terminal device as a set of two HARQ processes, and the two HARQ processes The sets are HARQ process set 1 and HARQ process set 2, respectively, HARQ process set 1 includes HARQ process 0 to HARQ process 11, and HARQ process set 2 includes HARQ process 12 to HARQ process 15. The first indication information is also used to configure the HARQ process set 2 as a non-enabled HARQ process.

At time t2, the network device also sends second indication information to the terminal device. The second indication information is used to activate the HARQ process set 2 or to activate the HARQ process set 2 in the first time period (from time t3 to time t4). Enable state. For example, the first time period may be determined according to activation or deactivation signaling (or second indication information), or may be determined according to preset or configured duration parameters and second indication information. If the HARQ process in HARQ process set 2 is a downlink HARQ process, after the terminal device receives the second indication information, in the first period, the terminal device does not feedback the HARQ process in HARQ process set 2. In other periods, the terminal The device feeds back the HARQ process in the HARQ process set 2. For example, suppose that in the first time period, if the terminal device receives the downlink data corresponding to PDSCH 0 (corresponding to HARQ process 13) sent by the network device, the terminal device does not feed back the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the TB in the HARQ process 13.

Manner 2: The indication information includes first indication information and third indication information.

In this manner, the network device may first send the first indication information to the terminal device, and the first indication information may configure the non-enabled HARQ process and/or the enabled HARQ process in the terminal device. After the terminal device receives the first indication information, the non-enabled HARQ process in the terminal device is not activated. The network device also sends third indication information to the terminal device, where the third indication information is used to dynamically indicate that the first HARQ process is in the disabled state or in the enabled state. Wherein, the non-enabled HARQ process dynamically indicated by the third indication information belongs to the non-enabled HARQ process configured by the first indication information.

Referring to Figure 9, at time t1, the network device may first send first indication information to the terminal device. The first indication information is used to configure the 16 HARQ processes in the terminal device as a set of two HARQ processes, and the two HARQ processes The sets are HARQ process set 1 and HARQ process set 2, respectively, HARQ process set 1 includes HARQ process 0 to HARQ process 11, and HARQ process set 2 includes HARQ process 12 to HARQ process 15. The first indication information is also used to configure the HARQ process set 2 as a non-enabled HARQ process.

At time t2, it is assumed that the terminal device receives the third indication information, for example, the third indication information is DCI, the DCI is used to schedule the PDSCH, and the HARQ process corresponding to the PDSCH belongs to HARQ process set 2. Assume that the HARQ process in HARQ process set 2 is a downlink HARQ process. For example, when the PDSCH scheduled by DCI is PDSCH 0, PDSCH 0 corresponds to HARQ process 12, and the feedback time indicator field from PDSCH to HARQ in DCI (hereinafter referred to as K1 indicator) Or when K1) is an invalid value (the invalid value indicates that the terminal device does not feed back the corresponding HARQ process), the terminal device does not need to feed back the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the TB in the HARQ process 12. For another example, when the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI is PDSCH 0, the PDSCH corresponds to the HARQ process 13, and the K1 indication in the DCI is a valid value, the terminal device feeds back the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the TB in the HARQ process 13.

After the terminal device receives the first indication information, the non-enabled HARQ process in the terminal device is not activated. The network device also sends second indication information to the terminal device, where the second indication information is used to activate or deactivate the non-enabled HARQ process configured by the first indication information. The network device also sends third indication information to the terminal device, where the third indication information is used to dynamically indicate that the first HARQ process is in the disabled state or in the enabled state. The non-enabled HARQ process dynamically indicated by the third indication information belongs to the non-enabled HARQ process configured by the first indication information and the non-enabled HARQ process activated by the second indication information.

The first indication information is also used to configure the HARQ process set 2 as a non-enabled HARQ process.

At time t2, the network device also sends second indication information to the terminal device. The second indication information is used to activate the disabled state of the HARQ process set 2 in the first time period (time t3 to time t4). The first time period may be determined according to activation or deactivation signaling (or second indication information), or may be determined according to preset or configured duration parameters and second indication information.

In the first time period, it is assumed that the terminal device receives the third indication information, for example, the third indication information is DCI, the DCI is used to schedule the PDSCH, and the HARQ process corresponding to the PDSCH belongs to HARQ process set 2. Assume that the HARQ process in HARQ process set 2 is a downlink HARQ process. For example, when the PDSCH scheduled by DCI is PDSCH 0, PDSCH 0 corresponds to HARQ process 12, and the feedback time indicator field from PDSCH to HARQ in DCI (hereinafter referred to as K1 indicator) Or when K1) is an invalid value (the invalid value indicates that the terminal device does not feed back the corresponding HARQ process), the terminal device does not need to feed back the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the TB in the HARQ process 12. For example, when the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI is PDSCH 0, the PDSCH corresponds to the HARQ process 13, and the K1 indication in the DCI is a valid value, the terminal device feeds back the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the TB in the HARQ process 13.
