为方便对本申请实施例的理解,下面对全双工通信作简单介绍。
通信系统中,双工方法通常为频分双工FDD,时分双工TDD或两者结合,然而以上几种双工方式只能利用频谱资源和时间资源中的一种。同时同频全双工(英文:co-frequency co-time full duplex,简称:CCFD)无线通信技术(以下简称“全双工”)则同时利用了频谱资源和时间资源。全双工通信模式下,通信设备在某频段同时发送和接收数据,频谱效率比FDD,TDD等传统双工模式提高了一倍。图1示出了不同双工方式的示意图,其中(a)为TDD系统,TDD系统中上下行链路使用不同的时隙加以区分,例如:节点1的发送信号和接收信号在不同的时间资源上传送,节点2同理;(b)和(c)为FDD系统,FDD系统中上下行链路使用不同的频谱进行区分,例如:节点1的发送信号和接收信号在不同的频谱资源上传送,节点2同理;(d)为CCFD系统,节点1的发送信号和接收信号在相同的时域资源和频域资源上传送,节点2同理。
全双工技术支持收发通路同时使用相同频率进行通信,使频率效率翻倍。但是,在全双工系统中,设备同时同频进行收发,接收天线会接收到来自本设备的发送信号,即自干扰SI。由于同一设备收发天线相距很近甚至是同天线,自干扰信号强度远高于有用信号,这会导致接收机中器件饱和,造成有用信号丢失;另外,接收天线还会接收到来自附近其他设备的发送信号,即互干扰CLI。图2示出了全双工系统中的干扰示意图。如图2所示,网络设备接收信号时受到该基站的发射信号产生的干扰,即网络设备的自干扰;终端接收信号时,受到 该终端的发射信号产生的干扰,即该终端的自干扰,另外还受到附近其他终端的发射信号产生的干扰,即终端间的互干扰。
此外由于终端离基站的距离远近不同,终端接收到的干扰信号和期望信号时间上是异步。用户间互干扰信号,用户自干扰信号,以及干扰信号和期望信号的不同步将引起符号间干扰。
图3为全双工系统中网络设备与不同终端之间的定时关系。图3中网络设备,终端1和终端2均处于全双工模式。
为便于理解,首先对通信系统中的同步作简单介绍:在已有技术中,同步是蜂窝移动通信系统的一个基本需求,特别是在以正交频分复用(英文:Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,简称:OFDM)为基础的LTE和5G系统中:不同步会引起严重的符号间干扰(英文:Inter Symbol Interference,简称:ISI)和载波间干扰(英文:Inter-Carrier Interference,简称:ICI)。在传统的蜂窝移动通信系统中,下行传输时,小区内终端的下行信号均由网络设备发出,因此,下行信号可实现同步。在上行传输过程中,网络设备接收到来自不同终端发送的上行信号,由于终端与网络设备之间的距离可能不同,并且基于信号的传播时间的差异,上行信号到达网络设备的时间可能不同。为了实现上行同步(即同一时隙的上行信号到达基站的时间相同),采用了定时提前机制,即不同终端根据其与网络设备之间的距离,以一定量的时间提前发送,保证各终端到达网络设备的时间一致。
此外,为了对抗复杂的无线传播环境带来的多径效应,OFDM符号前添加的循环前缀(英文:Cyclic Prefix,简称:CP)保证了OFDM的正交性,CP的长度(指CP所占的符号长度)通常与多径的最大传输时延相关。
以图3为例,网络设备向终端1发送下行数据,数据经过t1的传播时延被终端1接收;终端1的上行信号相较于参考时刻提前t1发送,以保证终端1的上行信号和网络设备的上行信号接收窗对齐;同理网络设备向终端2发送下行数据,数据经过t2的传播时延后被终端2接收;终端2的上行信号相较于参考时刻提前t2发送,以保证终端1的上行信号和网络设备的上行信号接收窗对齐;上述所有数据传输均在相同的频域资源上进行。
如图3所示,终端1的下行接收窗中包含了期望的下行信号,又包含了终端1自干扰消除后的残留上行发送信号以及终端2上行发送信号经过传播时延t到达终端1的信号。若终端可以测量出这些干扰信号,则可以使用干扰抑制合并(英文:Interference Rejection Combining,简称:IRC)对干扰进行抑制。但由于有用信号的接收窗内的干扰信号可能包含下一个OFDM符号周期的信号,使得干扰估计的结果受到严重的符号间干扰ISI,从而影响干扰抑制的性能。例如,图3中终端1的下行接收窗中包含了跨越两个OFDM符号周期的自干扰信号和两个OFDM符号周期的互干扰信号。
本申请实施例通过在现有的OFDM符号后添加长度可配置的循环后缀(英文:Cyclic Suffix,简称:CS)的方法,使全双工系统中终端设备的有用信号接收窗内,仅包含一个OFDM符号周期内的干扰信号,避免了干扰信号存在ISI导致的子载波正交性破坏,保证了干扰估计及干扰抑制的效果。
以图4为例,图4为加入循环后缀后的全双工系统中网络设备与不同终端之间的定时关系。加入循环后缀后,一个OFDM符号周期由循环前缀CP,OFDM符号和循环后缀CS组成。与图3相似,网络设备向终端1发送下行数据,数据经过t1的传播时延被终端1接收;终端1的上行信号相较于参考时刻提前t1发送;同理网络设备向终端2发送下行数据,数据经过t2的传播时延后被终端2接收;终端2的上行信号相较于参考时刻提前t2发送;终端2的上行信号经过传播时延到达终端1;上述所有数据传输均在相同的频域资源上进行。
终端1的下行接收窗中包含了期望的下行信号,又包含了终端1自干扰消除后的残留上行发送信号以及终端2上行发送信号经过传播时延t到达终端1的信号。与图3不同的是,加入可变长度的循环后缀之后,可以避免终端1的下行接收窗内存在的干扰信号中包含下一个OFDM符号周期的信号,从而避免了ISI的存在。
下面详细介绍本申请实施例的技术方案。
图5为本申请实施例涉及的应用场景图。网络设备向终端设备提供通信服务,终端可以是全双工终端,也可以是半双工终端。网络设备通过半双工的方式与处于半双工模式的终端通信;网络设备通过全双工的方式与处于全双工模式的终端通信。本申请实施例中所述的终端可以是前述终端中的任意一种或多种,所述的网络设备可以是前述网络设备的任意一种,本申请不做限定。

S601、网络设备确定循环后缀长度。
需要说明的是,S601中网络设备确定循环后缀长度。
一种可能的实现中,网络设备为小区内的所有上下行终端配置相同的循环后缀长度,网络设备可以通过广播向小区内的终端发送循环后缀配置信息。该实现方式中网络设备对小区内用户的循环后缀长度进行统一调整,实现复杂度低。
一种可能的实现中,网络设备为小区内的不同用户配置不同循环后缀长度,或者对小区内的用户进行分组,为不同分组的用户分配不同的循环后缀长度,该种实现方式配置更灵活,但实现复杂度较高。
步骤S601为可选步骤,一种可能的实现中,网络设备和终端设备采用默认配置的循环后缀长度进行通信,该情况下,无需执行步骤S601。
示例性的,网络设备确定第一OFDM循环后缀长度。
在一种可能的实现中,网络设备根据全双工网络内终端的自干扰功率,终端之间的互干扰功率和自干扰信号或互干扰信号相对于期望信号的时间提前量中的一种或多种确定第一OFDM循环后缀长度t
cs。
在一种可能的实现中,网络设备确定OFDM循环后缀长度时还考虑循环后缀开销。如图4所示,加入循环后缀CS后,一个OFDM符号周期由循环前缀CP、OFDM符号和循环后缀CS组成。因此循环后缀CS的长度将影响OFDM符号持续时间(即图4中DATA部分时间)或OFDM符号周期,从而可能影响一个时隙内OFDM符号的个数。因此,网络设备确定第一OFDM循环后缀的长度时还考虑循环后缀长度带来的开销。
下文中将详细说明网络设备确定OFDM循环后缀长度的方法。
S602、网络设备向终端下发配置信息;终端接收网络设备下发的配置信息。该配置信息包含OFDM循环后缀长度信息。
步骤S602为可选步骤,当网络设备和终端设备采用默认配置的循环后缀长度进行通信时,无需执行该步骤。
举例来说,网络设备在第一时刻向终端发送配置信息,该配置信息中包含第一OFDM循环后缀长度信息。
需要说明的是,上述配置信息可以通过信令告知终端。
在一种可能的实现中,网络设备通过无线资源控制(英文:Radio Resource Control,简称:RRC)向终端发送上述配置信息。
一种可能的实现中,网络设备通过广播方式的方式向小区内的终端发送上述配置信息。
一种可能的实现中,网络设备通过系统消息块(System Information Bit,简称SIB)向终端发送上述配置信息。
可能的,该配置信息可以指示一个索引,所述索引对应一个表项,所述表项指示循环后缀配置值;
可能的,该配置信息还可以指示具体的配置值;
可能的,该配置信息还可以指示循环后缀调整值,
终端接收调整值后,通过在上一次循环后缀配置值的基础上,累加调整值,得到当前的循环后缀配置值,其中所述调整值可以为正数或负数。
需要指出的是,网络设备还可以通过其他信令或其他方式向终端设备发送配置信息,本申请不做限制。
一种可能的实现中,终端首次接入网络设备时,所述网络设备下发该配置信息;一种可能的实现中,更新触发条件满足时,网络设备下发该配置信息。
S603、终端设备获取配置信息,该配置信息包含OFDM循环后缀长度信息。
举例来说,终端设备在第一时刻获取配置信息。
一种可能的实现中,该配置信息为网络设备和终端默认配置的OFDM循环后缀长度配置信息。
一种可能的实现中,该配置信息为S602中网络设备在第一时刻发送的配置信息。举例来说,网络设备在系统帧号为10,子帧号为2的无线帧中携带了该配置信息,终端设备从系统帧号为10,子帧号为2的无线帧中获取该配置信息。
S604、终端与网络设备进行通信。
终端设备与网络设备进行通信,包括终端设备使用OFDM循环后缀长度与网络设备进行通信。
示例性的,终端设备在第二时刻,使用第一OFDM循环后缀长度与网络设备通信。在第二时刻之前,终端设备使用第二OFDM循环后缀长度与网络设备通信。其中第二时刻是第一时刻之后的时刻。
一种可能的实现中,该第一OFDM循环后缀长度为默认配置的循环后缀长度;可能的,第二OFDM循环后缀长度也为默认配置的长度,即第一OFDM循环后缀长度与第二OFDM循环后缀长度相同;
一种可能的实现中,该第一OFDM循环后缀长度为步骤S602中网络设备向终端设备发送的配置信息中包含的第一OFDM循环后缀长度。可能的,第二OFDM循环后缀长度为在第一时刻之前,网络设备向终端设备发送的配置信息中包含的OFDM循环后缀长度。第一OFDM循环后缀长度可以与第二OFDM循环后缀长度相同,也可以和第二OFDM循环后缀长度不同,本申请不做限制。
需要说明的是,S604中网络设备和终端使用新循环后缀长度进行通信。具体地,网络设备和终端进行通信的过程中上下行传输信号的OFDM符号周期中包含循环后缀,所述循环后缀的循环后缀长度(即循环后缀持续时间)可以由网络设备下发的循环后缀长度配置信息确定。
一种可能的实现中,网络设备和终端使用新循环后缀通信时,为每个OFDM符号添加满足所述OFDM循环后缀长度的循环后缀。举例来说,图10为每个OFDM符号添加循环后缀后的OFDM信号结构图。如图10所示,每个OFDM符号周期包含循环前缀CP,携带数据的OFDM符号(DATA)以及循环后缀CS。
一种可能的实现中,网络设备和终端使用新循环后缀通信时,为部分OFDM符号添加满足所述OFDM循环后缀长度的循环后缀。
需要指出的是,为部分OFDM符号添加循环后缀时,添加循环后缀的符号可以是携带特定信号的符号,还可以是网络设备与终端协商好的指定符号,本申请不做限制。可能的网络设备与终端协商好的指定符号可以是对误码率要求较高的符号,通过为这些符号添加循环后缀来达到降低干扰,提高接收端译码正确率。举例来说,图11a是一种可能的为部分OFDM符号添加循环后缀后的OFDM信号结构图。如图11a所示,第一个OFDM符号周期由循环前缀CP和OFDM符号构成;第二个OFDM符号周期则由循环前缀CP,OFDM符号和循环后缀CS构成。图11a中第二个OFDM符号周期用于携带干扰测量导频(measure pilot),终端可通过测量导频测得当前其他用户的干扰以及用户间传播时延等信息。
可能的,为部分OFDM添加循环后缀时,可进行周期性配置。网络设备与终端设备协商添加OFDM循环后缀的周期,或网络设备通过广播等方式指定添加OFDM循环后缀的周期。举例来说,图11b是一种可能的为部分OFDM符号添加循环后缀后的OFDM信号结构图。如图11b所示,为每隔2个OFDM周期后的OFDM符号添加循环后缀,即第一个OFDM符号周期以及第四个OFDM符号周期由循环前缀CP,OFDM符号和循环后缀CS构成,而第二个OFDM符号周期以及第三个OFDM符号周期由循环前缀CP和OFDM符号构成。
通过为部分OFDM符号添加循环后缀CS,可以在抑制符号间干扰ISI的同时,降低循环后缀的开销。
上述实施例中,终端设备获取OFDM循环后缀长度配置信息,并在后续的终端与网络设备之间的通信中使用该OFDM循环后缀长度进行通信,降低了全双工网络内由于全双工终端的自干扰以及终端之间的互干扰造成的符号间干扰,提升了系统的吞吐量。
但随着网络设备下属小区内不断有新的终端接入、离开或发起上下行业务,小区内的干扰功率以及终端之间传输时延也相应的发生变化,因此,网络设备将根据需求重新确定循环后缀长度,并更新循环后缀长度配置信息。
参见图7,图7为网络设备更新循环后缀长度的流程示意图。
S701、网络设备判断是否满足更新触发条件。
一种可能的实现中,所述更新触发条件为定时触发。举例来说,在下发循环后缀长度配置信息后,网络设备即启动一个定时器,当定时器定时结束后,基站即更新循环后缀长度;或者,网络设备根据用户测量周期更新循环后缀长度;或者网络设备以其他方式周期性的更新循环后缀长度,本申请不作限定。
一种可能的实现中,所述更新触发条件为事件触发。举例来说,网络设备监测网络内实时干扰水平和/或小区吞吐,当总体干扰水平或小区吞吐触发调整阈值时,网络设备更新循环后缀长度。
S702至S705:当更新触发条件被满足时,网络设备确定新的循环后缀长度并下发更新的循环后缀长度配置信息,接收终端发送的正确获取长度信息的反馈,网络设备和终端使用更新后的新循环后缀长度进行通信。步骤S702和S703的具体内容参见图6中的S601至S602,步骤S704的具体内容参见图6中的S604,此处不再赘述。
本实施例中,网络设备通过判断更新触发条件确定新的循环后缀长度并更新向终端发送的循环后缀长度配置信息,保证了干扰估计和干扰抑制的有效性。
下面详细描述网络设备确定循环后缀长度(S601、S702)。

一种可能的实现中,终端设备可以周期性地对网络内的其他终端进行测量,获取其他设备对该终端的干扰功率以及其他设备到该终端的传输时延,并向网络设备发送测量结果。该种实现方式中,可以使用网路设备在初始接入时配置的或者使用默认配置的测量信号和/或时频资源等进行互干扰功率的测量。
一种可能的实现中,网络设备利用计算参数计算用户间传输时延t

一种可能的实现中,网络设备向终端下发测量消息,以获取用户的自干扰功率P

SI。可 能的,网络设备向终端内全双工用户发送自干扰测量消息。网络设备向终端下发自干扰测量消息以指示终端测量自身上行信号的残留干扰功率,即该终端的自干扰功率,终端接收网络设备发送的自干扰测量消息。与网络设备下发互干扰测量消息类似,网络设备下发的自干扰测量消息可以至少包含测量信号的OFDM符号格式、RS端口号以及时频资源等信息;需要指出的是,由于终端的上行发送信号对该终端而言是已知的,网络设备无需告知详细的测量内容,网络设备下发的自干扰测量消息可以只包含测量使能标记,测量使能标记用于指示终端是否基于某种测量信号进行测量。终端测量自身的自干扰功率并向网络设备反馈测量结果,所述测量反馈结果包含该终端的自干扰功率的信息。终端测量自干扰功率所使用的测量信号可以是终端正常业务流程中使用的上行信号,例如SRS,DMRS;还可以是由网络设备指定的某一测量时刻内所使用的信号,本申请不做限定。
一种可能的实现中,终端设备可以测量自身的自干扰功率,并周期性地向网络设备发送该终端的自干扰功率P

需要指出的是,当终端处于半双工模式时,该终端的下行信号只会受到其他用户上行信号的干扰,不会受到该终端自身发送的信号的干扰,此时,该终端的自干扰功率为0。
一种可能的实现中,网络设备根据终端的自干扰消除能力计算该终端的用户自干扰功率P
i
SI。具体地,网络设备在终端接入该网络时,获取该终端的自干扰消除能力。举例来说,终端将自干扰消除能力作为UE能力(UE capability的子项)。各终端的自干扰消除能力可以按类别静态存储。如表格1所示,可以将用户分为6档,每一档对应不同的消除能力。索引0表示该终端为半双工用户,不支持全双工模式,残留自干扰功率为0。网络设备可以通过查表方式获取各终端的自干扰消除能力,并根据终端的发送信号功率和自干扰消除能力计算终端的残留自干扰功率。具体地,网络设备将发送信号功率减去自干扰消除能力的结果作为用户的残留自干扰功率。

S803、网络设备确定OFDM循环后缀长度。
网络设备根据用户间传输时延,用户间互干扰功率以及用户自干扰功率确定OFDM循环后缀长度。具体地,网络设备根据以下原则中的至少一种进行调度,确定OFDM循环后缀长度:网络设备所覆盖的网络内的总体干扰水平最小,或者整体吞吐量最大,或者某一用户吞吐量最大,或者某些用户吞吐量最大等等。
上述实施例中,网络设备通过指示用户测量或根据计算参数计算的方法获取了用户间互干扰功率,用户自干扰功率以及干扰信号相对于期望信号的时间提前量,并根据上述参数,按照特定原则确定OFDM循环后缀长度,使得网络设备和终端使用所述OFDM循环后缀长度进行通信时,能够降低网络内的干扰水平,提升系统的吞吐量。
有些情况下,网络设备无法通过指示用户测量或根据计算参数计算的方法获取用户间互干扰功率和/或用户自干扰功率,或者网络设备需要对网络内的干扰情况做精确的测量。
本申请提供的一个实施例中,网络设备根据干扰信号相对于期望信号的时间提前量确定OFDM循环后缀长度。其中干扰信号相对于期望信号的时间提前量包括用户间互干扰信号相对于期望信号的时间提前量和用户自干扰信号相对于期望信号的时间提前量。
一种可能的实现中,网络设备根据干扰信号相对于期望信号的时间提前量的最大值确定OFDM循环后缀长度。OFDM循环后缀长度t

根据干扰信号相对于期望信号的时间提前量的最大值作为循环后缀长度,使得系统内网络设备和各终端之间的上下行信号均无符号间干扰。
一种可能的实现中,当网络内用户受到的干扰主要来源于自干扰,且网络设备不考虑或无法获取自干扰功率时,网络设备根据自干扰信号相对于期望信号的时间提前量的最大值确定OFDM循环后缀长度。OFDM循环后缀长度t

OFDM符号后加入循环后缀后,使得网络内可传输资源变少,即存在一定的循环后缀开销。例如,加入循环后缀后,OFDM符号周期将变长,或者一个OFDM符号周期内的OFDM符号持续时间或循环前缀持续时间将变短等等。
本申请提供的一个实施例中,网络设备确定循环后缀的长度时考虑了循环后缀开销。具体地,网络设备在确定循环后缀长度时对需要抑制的自干扰功率,互干扰功率以及循环后缀开销进行了折中。
一种可能的实现中,网络设备确定循环后缀时,在满足干扰抑制需求的条件下尽量降低OFDM循环后缀长度在整个OFDM符号周期中的占比,即增加OFDM符号持续时间在OFDM符号周期中的占比。
举例来说可以采用如下公式确定循环后缀长度t

需要说明的是,本实施例的各个可能的实现中网络设备获取确定OFDM循环后缀长度时使用的参数可参见S801、S802处描述的内容,此处不再赘述。
上述实施例中,网络设备确定循环后缀的长度时,除了用户自干扰功率、用户间互干扰功率、干扰信号相对于期望信号的时间提前量之外,还考虑了循环后缀长度带来的开销,在实现干扰抑制的同时,提高了网络总吞吐量。
当全双工网络内的多径时延扩展、用户间互干扰时间提前量和自干扰时间提前量与网络的覆盖范围相关。当覆盖范围较小时,全双工网络内的多径时延扩展、用户间互干扰时间提前量和自干扰时间提前量也较小。因此,在全双工网络覆盖范围较小的场景下,可以在不增加额外开销的基础上消除符号间干扰ISI,网络设备无需对OFDM循环后缀长度进行动态调整。
本申请提供的一个实施例中,网络设备静态配置OFDM循环后缀长度。该实施例适用于全双工网络覆盖范围较小的场景,例如室内或者厂房等。
一种可能的实现中,网络设备根据其覆盖范围内干扰信号相对于期望信号的时间提前量的最大值作为OFDM循环后缀长度的静态配置值,使得覆盖范围内无符号间干扰ISI。以子载波间隔为15k的场景为例,可以通过以下表格2静态地配置OFDM循环后缀长度。
表格2 15k子载波间隔OFDM循环后缀静态配置表
配置索引 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
符号个数 | 14 | 14 | 14 | 14 | 14 |
OFDM符号持续时间(us) | 66.667 | 66.667 | 66.667 | 66.667 | 66.667 |
CP持续时间(us) | 4.355 | 4.021 | 3.688 | 2.688 | 1.355 |
CS持续时间(us) | 0.333 | 0.667 | 1.000 | 2.000 | 3.333 |
覆盖范围(m) | 50 | 100 | 150 | 300 | 500 |
表格2中所配置的循环后缀长度(CS持续时间)可以满足15k子载波间隔下对应覆盖范围内上下行通信无符号间干扰ISI。举例来说,当覆盖半径为100m时,干扰信号相对于期望信号的时间提前量的最大值为
微秒,循环后缀长度CS大于或等于0.667us时,能够保证该覆盖范围下,网络内无符号间干扰ISI,此处,OFDM符号持续时间为66.667us,循环前缀CP长度为4.021us,循环后缀CS长度为0.667us,OFDM周期为71.355us;当覆盖半径为150m时,循环后缀CS长度为1us时,能够保障该覆盖范围的网络内无ISI,此处,OFDM符号持续时间为66.667us,循环前缀CP长度为3.688us,循环后缀CS长度为1us,OFDM周期为71.355us。
上述可能的实现中,由于覆盖范围较小,多径时延扩展也较小,因此网络设备可以在不改变OFDM符号持续时间和OFDM周期的基础上,将一部分循环前缀CP长度用于循环后缀CS长度,保证网络设备的覆盖范围内无符号间干扰。
一种可能的实现中,该配置可以作为静态配置在用户接入时通过主信息块(英文:main information block,简称:MIB)告知用户。
一种可能的实现中,该配置还可以由小区标识(ID)隐式告知用户,例如用户在初始接入过程中获取小区ID后,用小区ID或者对小区ID做以某个数值取模得到的余数当做静态配置的索引等,本申请不做限制。
需要说明的是,网络设备向终端设备下发的静态配置信息可以是索引信息,该索引信息用于指示OFDM循环后缀长度的配置值,终端设备接收静态配置信息后,根据索引信息获取对应的OFDM循环后缀长度;网络设备向终端下发的静态配置信息可以是具体的配置值,终端设备根据网络设备下发的配置值确定OFDM循环后缀长度。
上述实施例中,在网络覆盖范围小的场景中,网络设备向网络设备下发静态配置的循环后缀长度,在不增加额外开销的基础上,保证网络内无符号间干扰ISI。
本申请提供的一个实施例中,网络设备根据不同干扰水平动态配置循环后缀长度时,事先将循环后缀长度设置成配置项。该配置项对应循环后缀持续时间的范围。网络设备通过上述各个实施例所述的方法动态确定循环后缀长度,并确定所确定的循环后缀长度所属的配置项。网络设备向终端设备下发配置信息时,发送所确定的循环后缀长度所属配置项对应的配置索引,终端设备接收配置信息后,根据配置索引获取对应的OFDM循环后缀长度,该OFDM循环后缀长度为配置索引对应的循环后缀持续时间的最大值。
以子载波间隔为15k的场景为例,可以通过以下表格3动态地配置OFDM循环后缀长度。
表格3 15k子载波间隔OFDM循环后缀动态配置表
配置索引 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
符号个数 | 14 | 12 | 10 | 8 |
OFDM符号持续时间(us) | 66.667 | 66.667 | 66.667 | 66.667 |
CP持续时间(us) | 1.355 | 4.688 | 4.688 | 4.688 |
CS持续时间(us) | 3.407 | 11.979 | 28.646 | 53.646 |
CS持续时间范围(us) | 0~3.407 | 3.407~11.979 | 11.979~28.646 | 11.979~53.646 |
覆盖范围(m) | 0~511 | 511~1796.85 | 1796.85~4,296.9 | 1796.85~8,046.9 |
举例来说,当配置索引为1时,终端设备在OFDM符号后添加,长度为11.979us的循环后缀长度,该循环后缀长度对应网络设备确定的3.407us~11.979us范围内的循环后缀长度。
一种可能的实现中,上述配置信息可以通过RRC消息告知用户,也可以通过其他信息告知用户,本申请不做限制。
上述实施例中,将网络设备动态确定的循环后缀长度作为配置项,网络设备向终端设备下发循环后缀配置信息时,发送配置项对应的配置索引,终端设备根据配置索引获取循环后缀长度,通过上述方法,在保证了网络内无符号间干扰的基础上,减少了配置循环后缀时的比特开销。
本申请实施例提供的为OFDM符号配置循环后缀的方法还适用于全双工频带和半双工频带相邻的场景。如图12a和图12b所示,用户接收的期望下行信号在频域上可以划分为半双工频带和全双工频带,其中半双工频带用于传输同步信号和PBCH块(英文:Synchronization Signal and PBCH Block,简称:SSB),物理下行控制信道(英文:Physical Downlink Control Channel,简称:PDCCH)等控制消息。此外用户还会收到其他用户的上行干扰信号,由于干扰信号和期望信号是异步的,干扰信号在期望信号的接收窗内会因为符号间干扰ISI而产生载波间干扰ICI,从而影响控制消息传输的可靠性。
一种可能的实现中,如图12a所示,当OFDM周期内没有本申请实施例提出的OFDM循环后缀时,需要在半双工频带和全双工频带之间增加保护频带,以保护控制信号不受ICI的影响。其中保护频带的带宽与干扰功率大小相关。
一种可能的实现中,如图12b所示,根据当前干扰情况,通过在OFDM符号后添加循环后缀,使得干扰信号在期望信号的接收窗内无ISI造成的ICI,干扰信号的子载波正交性不会被破坏。采用该种可能的实现时,无需在半双工和全双工传输频带之间添加额外的保护带,提高了网络吞吐量。
