Description

Terminal

The present disclosure relates to a terminal that executes wireless communication, particularly a terminal that executes wireless communication using a large number of component carriers.

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specifies the 5th generation mobile communication system (also called 5G, New Radio (NR) or Next Generation (NG)), and next-generation specifications called Beyond 5G, 5G Evolution or 6G. We are also proceeding with the conversion.

Release 15 and Release 16 (NR) of 3GPP specify the operation of multiple frequency ranges, specifically, bands including FR1 (410MHz to 7.125GHz) and FR2 (24.25GHz to 52.6GHz). ..

In addition, studies are underway on NR that supports up to 71 GHz beyond 52.6 GHz (Non-Patent Document 1). In addition, Beyond 5G, 5G Evolution or 6G (Release-18 or later) aims to support frequency bands above 71GHz.

As mentioned above, it is expected that the possibility that more component carriers (CC) will be set will increase as the usable frequency band is expanded.

Carrier Aggregation (CA) stipulates the number of CCs that can be set. For example, in 3GPP Release 15 and Release 16, the maximum number of CCs that can be set for a terminal (User Equipment, UE) is 16 for downlink (DL) and uplink (UL), respectively.

Against this background, the inventors can improve the flexibility of communication control using a plurality of CCs by paying attention to the assumption that the channel qualities of a large number of CCs are similar as a result of diligent studies. I found that.

Therefore, the following disclosure was made in view of such a situation, and aims to provide a terminal capable of improving the flexibility of communication control when a large number of component carriers (CC) are set. do.

One aspect of the present disclosure is a terminal comprising a communication unit that executes data communication via one or more component carriers, the communication unit being based on the setting of one or more physical uplink control channels. The gist is to use one or more component carriers to perform predetermined transmission to transmit uplink control information to the network.

[Embodiment]
(1) Overall Schematic Configuration of Wireless Communication System FIG. 1 is an overall schematic configuration diagram of the wireless communication system 10 according to the present embodiment. The wireless communication system 10 is a wireless communication system according to 5G New Radio (NR), and includes a Next Generation-Radio Access Network 20 (hereinafter, NG-RAN20) and a terminal 200 (hereinafter, UE200).

Note that the wireless communication system 10 may be a wireless communication system according to a method called Beyond 5G, 5G Evolution or 6G.

NG-RAN20 includes a radio base station 100A (hereinafter, gNB100A) and a radio base station 100B (hereinafter, gNB100B). The specific configuration of the wireless communication system 10 including the number of gNBs and UEs is not limited to the example shown in FIG.

The NG-RAN20 actually includes multiple NG-RANNodes, specifically gNB (or ng-eNB), and is connected to a core network (5GC, not shown) according to 5G. In addition, NG-RAN20 and 5GC may be simply expressed as "network".

GNB100 and gNB100B are radio base stations that comply with 5G, and execute wireless communication according to UE200 and 5G. The gNB100, gNB100B and UE200 are Massive MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) and multiple component carriers (CC) that generate more directional beam BM by controlling radio signals transmitted from multiple antenna elements. ) Can be bundled and used for carrier aggregation (CA), and dual connectivity (DC) for simultaneous communication between the UE and each of the two NG-RAN Nodes.

In addition, the wireless communication system 10 supports a plurality of frequency ranges (FR). FIG. 2 shows the frequency range used in the wireless communication system 10.

As shown in FIG. 2, the wireless communication system 10 corresponds to FR1 and FR2. The frequency bands of each FR are as follows.

・ FR1: 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz
・ FR2: 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz
In FR1, Sub-Carrier Spacing (SCS) of 15, 30 or 60kHz is used, and a bandwidth (BW) of 5 to 100MHz may be used. FR2 has a higher frequency than FR1, SCS of 60, or 120kHz (240kHz may be included) is used, and a bandwidth (BW) of 50 to 400MHz may be used.

SCS may be interpreted as numerology. Numerology is defined in 3GPP TS38.300 and corresponds to one subcarrier spacing in the frequency domain.

Furthermore, the wireless communication system 10 also supports a higher frequency band than the FR2 frequency band. Specifically, the wireless communication system 10 corresponds to a frequency band exceeding 52.6 GHz and up to 114.25 GHz. Such a high frequency band may be referred to as "FR2x" for convenience.

To solve this problem, when using a band exceeding 52.6 GHz, Cyclic Prefix-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CP-OFDM) / Discrete Fourier Transform-Spread (DFT-) with a larger Sub-Carrier Spacing (SCS) S-OFDM) may be applied.

FIG. 3 shows a configuration example of a wireless frame, a subframe, and a slot used in the wireless communication system 10.

As shown in FIG. 3, one slot is composed of 14 symbols, and the larger (wider) the SCS, the shorter the symbol period (and slot period). The SCS is not limited to the interval (frequency) shown in FIG. For example, 480kHz, 960kHz and the like may be used.

Further, the number of symbols constituting one slot does not necessarily have to be 14 symbols (for example, 28, 56 symbols). In addition, the number of slots per subframe may vary from SCS to SCS.

The time direction (t) shown in FIG. 3 may be referred to as a time domain, a symbol period, a symbol time, or the like. Further, the frequency direction may be referred to as a frequency domain, a resource block, a subcarrier, a BWP (Bandwidth part), or the like.

(2) Functional block configuration of the wireless communication system Next, the functional block configuration of the wireless communication system 10 will be described. Specifically, the functional block configuration of UE200 will be described.

FIG. 4 is a functional block configuration diagram of the UE 200. As shown in FIG. 4, the UE 200 includes a radio signal transmission / reception unit 210, an amplifier unit 220, a modulation / demodulation unit 230, a control signal / reference signal processing unit 240, a coding / decoding unit 250, a data transmission / reception unit 260, and a control unit 270. ..

The wireless signal transmitter / receiver 210 transmits / receives a wireless signal according to NR. The radio signal transmitter / receiver 210 corresponds to Massive MIMO, a CA that bundles a plurality of CCs, and a DC that simultaneously communicates between the UE and each of the two NG-RAN Nodes.

The amplifier unit 220 is composed of PA (Power Amplifier) / LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) and the like. The amplifier unit 220 amplifies the signal output from the modulation / demodulation unit 230 to a predetermined power level. Further, the amplifier unit 220 amplifies the RF signal output from the radio signal transmission / reception unit 210.

The modulation / demodulation unit 230 executes data modulation / demodulation, transmission power setting, resource block allocation, etc. for each predetermined communication destination (gNB100 or other gNB). Cyclic Prefix-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CP-OFDM) / Discrete Fourier Transform-Spread (DFT-S-OFDM) may be applied to the modulation / demodulation unit 230. Further, DFT-S-OFDM may be used not only for uplink (UL) but also for downlink (DL).

The control signal / reference signal processing unit 240 executes processing related to various control signals transmitted / received by the UE 200 and processing related to various reference signals transmitted / received by the UE 200.

Specifically, the control signal / reference signal processing unit 240 receives various control signals transmitted from the gNB 100 via a predetermined control channel, for example, control signals of the radio resource control layer (RRC). Further, the control signal / reference signal processing unit 240 transmits various control signals to the gNB 100 via a predetermined control channel.

The control signal / reference signal processing unit 240 executes processing using a reference signal (RS) such as Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) and Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PTRS).

DMRS is a known reference signal (pilot signal) between the base station and the terminal of each terminal for estimating the fading channel used for data demodulation. PTRS is a terminal-specific reference signal for the purpose of estimating phase noise, which is a problem in high frequency bands.

In addition to DMRS and PTRS, the reference signal may include ChannelStateInformation-ReferenceSignal (CSI-RS), SoundingReferenceSignal (SRS), and PositioningReferenceSignal (PRS) for position information.

In addition, the channel includes a control channel and a data channel. Control channels include PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel), PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel), RACH (Random Access Channel), Random Access Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RA-RNTI), Downlink Control Information (DCI), and Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) etc. are included.

The data channels include PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) and PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel). Data means data transmitted over a data channel. The data channel may be read as a shared channel.

In the embodiment, the control signal / reference signal processing unit 240 constitutes a communication unit that executes data communication via one or more CCs. The control signal / reference signal processing unit 240 uses one or more CCs to execute predetermined transmission for transmitting uplink control information (UCI: Uplink Control Information) to a network (for example, NG-RAN20). The UCI may include an acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) for one or more TBs. The UCI may include an SR (Scheduling Request) that requests resource scheduling, or may include a CSI (Channel State Information) that indicates the state of the channel. The UCI may be transmitted via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH: Physical Uplink Control Channel) or may be transmitted via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH: Physical Uplink Shared Channel).

The coding / decoding unit 250 executes data division / concatenation and channel coding / decoding for each predetermined communication destination (gNB100 or other gNB).

Specifically, the coding / decoding unit 250 divides the data output from the data transmitting / receiving unit 260 into a predetermined size, and executes channel coding for the divided data. Further, the coding / decoding unit 250 decodes the data output from the modulation / demodulation unit 230 and concatenates the decoded data.

The data transmission / reception unit 260 executes transmission / reception of Protocol Data Unit (PDU) and Service Data Unit (SDU). Specifically, the data transmitter / receiver 260 is a PDU / SDU in a plurality of layers (such as a medium access control layer (MAC), a wireless link control layer (RLC), and a packet data convergence protocol layer (PDCP)). Assemble / disassemble. Further, the data transmission / reception unit 260 executes data error correction and retransmission control based on the hybrid ARQ (Hybrid automatic repeat request).

The control unit 270 controls each functional block constituting the UE 200. In particular, in the present embodiment, the control unit 270 controls the communication of one or more CCs by using one or more DCIs received via a predetermined CC. The predetermined CC may be one or more CCs included in the plurality of CCs. Communication of one or more CCs may include transmission of UCI using one or more CCs.

(3) PUCCH resource settings FIGS. 5 to 7 are diagrams showing PUCCH resource settings in a case where UCI is transmitted via PUCCH or PUSCH. 5 to 7 illustrate a case where UCI is transmitted via CC # 0 and CC # 1. The resources used for PUCCH (hereinafter referred to as PUCCH resources) are set by the upper layer. PUCCH resource is set by the information element contained in the RRC message. Such an information element may be referred to as PUCCH-Config. In PUCCH-Config., One or more PUCCH resource sets and one or more PUCCH resources are set, and one or more PUCCH resource sets include information elements that specify one or more PUCCH resources. The upper layer parameter that sets the PUCCH resource for SR and CSI transmission may be set separately from the above PUCCH resource set. In this disclosure, PUCCH-Config. Or PUCCH resource may be replaced by PUCCH resource set.

First, as shown in FIG. 5, PUCCH-Config. May be an information element capable of specifying a PUCCH resource that spans a plurality of CCs. In PUCCH-Config., One or more PUCCH resource sets may be set, and one or more PUCCH resource may be set. Each PUCCH resource may be set for one or more CCs of a plurality of CCs, and a PUCCH resource straddling a plurality of CCs can be specified. In the example shown in FIG. 5, PUCCH-Config. May be a setting that targets the PUCCH resource of CC # 0, or may be a setting that targets the PUCCH resource of CC # 1. PUCCH-Config. May be a setting for PUCCH resource that straddles both CC # 0 and CC # 1. In such cases, the UCI is transmitted via PUCCH across CC # 0 and CC # 1. In the present disclosure, the fact that a PUCCH straddles a plurality of CCs may mean that a certain PUCCH is mapped to a plurality of CCs, and may be transmitted or received via the plurality of CCs.

Secondly, as shown in FIG. 6, PUCCH-Config. May be an information element that cannot specify a PUCCH resource that spans a plurality of CCs. In PUCCH-Config., One or more PUCCH resource sets may be set, and one or more PUCCH resource may be set. Each PUCCH resource may be set for any one CC of a plurality of CCs, and may not span a plurality of CCs. The CC of any one of the plurality of CCs may be any CC or may be limited to a specific CC. In the example shown in FIG. 6, PUCCH-Config. Is a setting that targets the PUCCH resource of CC # 0. In the setting of PUCCH resource, PUCCH resource is not allowed to span multiple CCs, but in UCI transmission, PUCCH based on the PUCCH resource may span multiple CCs. For example, UE200 and NG-RAN20 are based on one or more parameters selected from the UCI payload size, UCI coding rate, UCI modulation sequence, and Indication indicating transmission across multiple CCs. It may be decided whether or not to straddle a plurality of CCs.

Third, as shown in FIG. 7, PUCCH-Config. May be an information element that cannot specify a PUCCH resource that spans a plurality of CCs. In PUCCH-Config., One or more PUCCH resource sets may be set, and one or more PUCCH resource may be set. Each PUCCH resource may be set for any one CC of a plurality of CCs, and may not span a plurality of CCs. The CC of any one of the plurality of CCs may be any CC or may be limited to a specific CC. In the example shown in FIG. 7, PUCCH-Config. Is a setting that targets the PUCCH resource of CC # 0. It is not necessary to allow PUCCH resource to span multiple CCs in the setting of PUCCH resource. In such cases, transmission of UCI via PUCCH across CC # 0 and CC # 1 may not be allowed. That is, UCI is transmitted via PUCCH, which is mapped to CC # 0.

Here, whether or not to apply PUCCH-Config. And / or PUCCH resource related to a plurality of CCs may be applied to UE200 by the information element included in the RRC message, and UE200 by the information element included in DCI. May be applied to. The application may be referred to as enable or activate. Non-application may be referred to as disable or inactivate.

Also, two upper layer parameter groups may be set. For example, one upper layer parameter group is PUCCH-Config. Related to a plurality of CCs, and may include a parameter that specifies a PUCCH resource in different CCs, and a parameter that specifies a PUCCH resource that spans a plurality of CCs. It may be included. The other upper layer parameter group is PUCCH-Config. Associated with a single CC and may include parameters that specify PUCCH resources in a single CC (ie, similar to traditional PUCCH-Config.). ).

Note that the plurality of CCs may be consecutive CCs in the intra-band. The plurality of CCs may be CCs included in the scheduling cell or CCs included in the search space of PDCCH. PDCCH search space is SI (System Information) -RNTI (Radio Network Temporary Identifier), RA (Random Access) -RNTI, TC (Temporary Cell) -RNTI, C (Cell) -RNTI, P (Paging) -RNTI, INT (Interruption) -RNTI, SFI (Slot Format Indication) -RNTI, TPC (Transmit Power Control) -PUSCH-RNTI, TPC-PUCCH-RNTI, TPC-SRS-RNTI, SP (Semi Persistent) -CSI (Channel State Information) )-May be defined by an RNTI such as RNTI. The plurality of CCs may be CCs to which the serving cell settings are commonly applied. Serving cell settings may include TDD DL / UL Configuration, SCS specific carrier list.

Under such a background, the UE 200 may receive an RRC message from the NG-RAN 20 containing an information element instructing the application of PUCCH-Config. And / or PUCCH resource related to a plurality of CCs. The information elements that indicate the application of PUCCH-Config. And / or PUCCH resource related to multiple CCs are the identification information of the CC to which PUCCH-Config. And / or PUCCH resource is applied and the PUCCH-related to multiple CCs. It may include the fact that Config. And / or PUCCH resource is applied (for example, enable). The UE 200 may receive an RRC message from the NG-RAN 20 containing an information element indicating the non-application of PUCCH-Config. And / or PUCCH resource related to a plurality of CCs. The information element that indicates the non-application of PUCCH-Config. And / or PUCCH resource related to multiple CCs is PUCCH-Config. And / or PUCCH-related to CCs to which PUCCH resource is not applied and multiple CCs. It may include the fact that Config. And / or PUCCH resource is not applied (for example, disable). The above table elements that indicate the application or non-application of PUCCH-Config. And / or PUCCH resource are bitmap information that can specify CC by bit position, and each bit has multiple CCs corresponding to bit positions. It may be an information element indicating whether or not PUCCH-Config. And / or PUCCH resource related to is applicable.

UE200 may specify the CC to which PUCCH-Config. And / or PUCCH resource related to a plurality of CCs is applied based on the information element included in DCI. For example, UE200 identifies the CC to which PUCCH-Config. And / or PUCCH resource is applied based on the CI stored in the CI (Channel Indicator) field included in DCI. For example, in the case shown in FIG. 5, when CI is a value indicating CC # 0 and CC # 1, PUCCH-Config. And / or CC to which PUCCH resource is applied is CC # 0. And CC # 1.

Furthermore, when two CCs included in a plurality of CCs are adjacent to each other in the frequency domain, PUCCH mapping may be executed for the Guard Subcarrier (s) between the two CCs. In other words, Guard Subcarrier (s) between consecutive CCs may be used as a resource. Alternatively, the Guard Subcarrier (s) between the two CCs may be Rate Matched. That is, PUCCH may not be mapped to Guard Subcarrier (s), but may be mapped in order beyond Guard Subcarrier (s).

(4) TDD setting In the case where PUCCH-Config. Related to multiple CCs and / or PUCCH resource spanning multiple CCs can be applied, the TDD setting may be defined as follows.

First, it may be expected that the same TDD (Time Division Duplex) settings will be applied to multiple CCs. That is, only when the same TDD (Time Division Duplex) setting is applied to multiple CCs, PUCCH-Config. Related to multiple CCs and / or PUCCH resource spanning multiple CCs is applied. May be good. The TDD setting is an example of an information element (upper layer parameter) of an RRC message, and may be called TDD UL / DL Common Configuration or TDD UL / DL Dedicated Configuration. Alternatively, the TDD setting may be dictated by a particular DCI (eg SFI).

Second, the symbol pattern (hereinafter, D / U Type) to which DL and UL are assigned in the time domain may be the same among a plurality of CCs. The PUCCH that can be used may be limited to resources that span one or more CCs with the same D / U Type. When CCs of different D / U Type are included in a plurality of CCs, the existing control for mapping PUCCH to one CC may be executed.

(5) Mapping The order of mapping PUCCH to multiple CCs is n + 1 included in the time domain after mapping PUCCH to the frequency domain across multiple CCs in the nth unit included in the time domain. In the second unit, PUCCH may be mapped to a frequency domain across multiple CCs (see, eg, FIG. 9). Alternatively, the order of mapping PUCCH to multiple CCs is to map PUCCH to the frequency domain in the nth unit contained in the time domain in the mth CC, and then PUCCH in the n + 1th unit contained in the time domain. May be mapped to the frequency domain, and this may be repeated in the m + 1th CC.

When PUCCH is mapped to multiple CCs, different UCI types may be mapped to different CCs. UCI type may include types such as HARQ-ACK, SR, and CSI. For example, in PUCCH mapped to CC # 0 and CC # 1, HARQ-ACK may be transmitted via CC # 0 and SR and CSI may be transmitted via CC # 1.

(6) Frequency hopping In the case where PUCCH-Config. Is related to a plurality of CCs and / or the case where the PUCCH resource spans a plurality of CCs, the frequency hopping (FH) may not be set. Moreover, even if FH is set, FH does not have to be applied. The information element that sets FH is an example of the information element (upper layer parameter) included in the RRC message.

In cases where PUCCH-Config. Is related to multiple CCs and / or PUCCH resources span multiple CCs, if FH is supported, the PRB Index will be in a format that spans multiple CCs. It may be defined by. For example, in the case shown in FIG. 8, the PRB Index included in CC # 0 and CC # 1 may be defined in a continuous format between CCs instead of being independent for each CC. Alternatively, the PRB that initiates FH may be defined by the CC Index of the CC and the PRB Index within the CC.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, in step S30, the UE 200 transmits (reports) a UE capability including an information element indicating whether or not it has the ability to execute a predetermined transmission to the NG-RAN 20.

Although not particularly limited, UE200 may execute step S30 when an RRC connection is set with NG-RAN20. In other words, step S30 may be executed before the process shown in FIG. 8 or 9.

[Change example 2]
Hereinafter, modification 2 of the embodiment will be described. The differences from the embodiments will be described below. In the second modification, a predetermined condition to which the predetermined transmission is applied will be described.

The predetermined condition may be that a plurality of CCs are controlled based on one or more DCIs received via the predetermined CCs included in the plurality of CCs.

The predetermined condition may be to instruct that one or more DCIs received via the predetermined CC apply the predetermined transmission (first predetermined condition). The predetermined transmission may be applied to a plurality of CCs used for receiving the DCI instructing that the predetermined transmission is applied. The DCI may include an information element (enable) indicating that the predetermined transmission is applied. The DCI may include an information element (disable) indicating that the predetermined transmission is not applied. The plurality of CCs to which the predetermined transmission can be applied may be set by the RRC message or may be predetermined.

The predetermined condition may be that the RRC message indicates that the predetermined transmission is applied (second predetermined condition). The RRC message may include an information element (enable) indicating that the predetermined transmission is applied. The RRC message may include an information element (disable) indicating that the predetermined transmission is not applied. The RRC message is bitmap information that can identify the CC by the bit position, and each bit may include an information element indicating whether or not a predetermined transmission is applied to the CC corresponding to the bit position. The RRC message may include the identification information of the CC to which the predetermined transmission is applied. The plurality of CCs to which the predetermined transmission can be applied may be set by the RRC message or may be predetermined.

As described above, whether the UE 200 (control unit 270) satisfies the predetermined conditions (for example, the first predetermined condition described above) based on the RRC message including the information element indicating whether or not the predetermined transmission is applied. You may decide whether or not. The UE200 (control unit 270) determines whether or not a predetermined condition (for example, the second predetermined condition described above) is satisfied based on an RRC message including an information element indicating whether or not to apply the predetermined transmission. You may.

Further, the UE 200 (control unit 270) may determine whether or not the predetermined conditions are satisfied based on the RRC message and DCI. For example, the UE 200 may set a plurality of CCs to which the predetermined transmission can be applied by the RRC message, and specify the CC to which the predetermined transmission is applied based on the DCI from the set CCs.

[Change example 3]
Hereinafter, modification 3 of the embodiment will be described. The differences from the embodiments will be described below.

In the embodiment, the case where UCI is transmitted via PUCCH is illustrated. On the other hand, in the third modification, a case where the UCI is transmitted via the PUSCH straddling a plurality of CCs will be described. The case where the UCI is transmitted via the PUSCH across multiple CCs may be the case where the PUCCH to be used for UCI transmission collides with the PUSCH in the time domain and the UCI is multiplexed with the PUSCH. It may be the case instructed to send the UCI via.

As a first option, the UCI may be mapped to and transmitted to a specific CC of the PUSCH. The specific CC may be one CC.

As a second option, the UCI may be mapped and transmitted across multiple CCs of the PUSCH.

In the second option, the order of mapping UCI (RE of PUSCH used for UCI transmission) to multiple CCs may be considered in the same order as mapping PUCCH (UCI) to multiple CCs. That is, the order of mapping UCI to multiple CCs is the n + 1th unit included in the time domain after mapping UCI to the frequency domain across multiple CCs in the nth unit included in the time domain. The order may be such that UCI is mapped to a frequency domain across multiple CCs in units. Alternatively, the order of mapping UCI to multiple CCs is to map UCI to the frequency domain in the nth unit contained in the time domain at the mth CC, and then UCI in the n + 1th unit contained in the time domain. May be mapped to the frequency domain, and this may be repeated in the m + 1th CC.

In the second option, the number of REs in each CC of PUSCH used for UCI transmission may be limited to a predetermined number or less. The PUSCH RE used for UCI transmission may be discretely mapped or locally mapped in the frequency domains contained in the plurality of CCs.

The first option and the second option may be switched by the upper layer parameter. For example, the first option and the second option may be switched by an RRC message containing an information element that specifies either the first option or the second option.

The first and second options are whether or not the PUCCH spans multiple CCs in the case where the PUCCH to be used to transmit the UCI collides with the PUSCH in the time domain and the UCI is multiplexed over the PUSCH.
