In order to facilitate the understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions related to the embodiments of the present application are described below.

As people speed, latency, high-speed mobility, energy efficiency and the future of life in the pursuit of the business of diversity, complexity, for the third Generation Partnership Project ^{(3 rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP} ) ISO began the development of 5G . The main application scenarios of 5G are: Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC), Massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC) ).

On the one hand, eMBB still targets users to obtain multimedia content, services and data, and its demand is growing very rapidly. On the other hand, because eMBB may be deployed in different scenarios, such as indoors, urban areas, rural areas, etc., its capabilities and requirements are also quite different, so it cannot be generalized and must be analyzed in detail in conjunction with specific deployment scenarios. Typical applications of URLLC include: industrial automation, power automation, telemedicine operations (surgery), traffic safety protection, etc. Typical features of mMTC include: high connection density, small data volume, delay-insensitive services, low-cost modules and long service life.

In the early deployment of NR, complete NR coverage is difficult to obtain, so the typical network coverage is wide-area LTE coverage and NR island coverage mode. Moreover, a large amount of LTE is deployed below 6GHz, and there is very little spectrum below 6GHz that can be used for 5G. Therefore, NR must study the spectrum application above 6GHz, and the high frequency band has limited coverage and fast signal fading. At the same time, in order to protect mobile operators' early investment in LTE, a tight interworking mode between LTE and NR is proposed.

In 5G, the maximum channel bandwidth can be 400MHZ (called a wideband carrier). Compared with the maximum 20M bandwidth of LTE, the bandwidth of a wideband carrier is very large. If the terminal device keeps working on a broadband carrier, the power consumption of the terminal device is very large. Therefore, it is recommended that the radio frequency (RF) bandwidth of the terminal device can be adjusted according to the actual throughput of the terminal device. For this reason, the concept of Band Width Part (BWP) is introduced. The motivation of BWP is to optimize the power consumption of terminal devices. For example, if the rate of the terminal device is very low, you can configure the terminal device with a smaller BWP (as shown in Figure 2-1). If the rate requirement of the terminal device is very high, you can configure the terminal device with a larger BWP (as shown in Figure 2). -2 shown). If the terminal device supports a high rate or works in Carrier Aggregation (CA) mode, the terminal device can be configured with multiple BWPs (as shown in Figure 2-3). Another purpose of BWP is to trigger the coexistence of multiple basic parameter sets (numerology) in a cell. As shown in Figure 2-3, BWP1 corresponds to numerology1, and BWP2 corresponds to numerology2.

The terminal device in the idle or inactive state resides on the initial BWP (initial BWP). The initial BWP is visible to the terminal device in the idle or inactive state. The terminal device can obtain the master information block (Master Information) from the initial BWP. Block, MIB), remaining minimum system information (Remaining Minimum System Information, RMSI), other system information (Other System Information, OSI), and paging (paging) information.

For connected terminal devices, a terminal can be configured with up to 4 uplink BWPs and up to 4 downlink BWPs through dedicated radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) signaling, but there can only be one uplink BWP and downlink BWP at the same time Activated. In RRC dedicated signaling, it can indicate the first activated BWP among the configured BWPs. At the same time, while the terminal is in the connected state, it can also switch between different BWPs through Downlink Control Information (DCI). When the carrier in the inactive state enters the activated state, the first activated BWP is the first activated BWP configured in the RRC dedicated signaling. The configuration parameters of each BWP include:

-Subcarrier Spacing (SCS);

-Cyclic Prefix;

-The first physical resource block (PRB) of the BWP and the number of consecutive PRBs (locationAndBandwidth);

-BWP identification (bwp-Id);

-BWP common configuration parameters (bwp-Common) and BWP dedicated configuration parameters (bwp-Dedicated).

In the process of radio link monitoring (Radio Link Monitor, RLM), the terminal device is only executed on the activated BWP, the inactive BWP does not need to be operated, and when switching between different BWPs, it does not need to be reset. RLM related timers and counters. For radio resource management (Radio Resource Management, RRM) measurement, no matter which active BWP the terminal device transmits and receives data on, it does not affect the RRM measurement. For channel quality indication (Channel Quality Indication, CQI) measurement, the terminal device also only needs to perform the measurement on the activated BWP.

When a carrier is deactivated and then activated by the Media Access Control Control Element (MAC CE), the initial first activated BWP is the first configured in RRC dedicated signaling BWP activated.

The value of the BWP identifier (BWP id) in the RRC dedicated signaling is 0 to 4, and the BWP with the BWP identifier of 0 is the initial BWP by default.

The BWP indicator in DCI is 2 bits, as shown in Table 1 below. If the number of configured BWPs is less than or equal to 3, then BWP indicator=1, 2, 3 corresponds to BWP id=1, 2, 3 respectively. If the number of BWPs is 4, then BWP indicator=0, 1, 2, 3 respectively correspond to BWPs configured according to the order index. Moreover, the network side uses continuous BWP id when configuring the BWP.

Table 1

In LTE carrier aggregation, the state of the SCell is divided into an activated state, a deactivated state, and a dormant state. In order to activate the SCell quickly and reduce the activation delay of the SCell in NR, it is decided to introduce the dormancy behavior of the SCell. The dormancy behavior is different from the sleep state and belongs to the activated state.

The SCell dormancy behavior in NR is implemented through the dormant BWP, which is a dedicated downlink BWP configured through RRC dedicated signaling. The terminal device does not monitor the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on the dormant BWP. However, it performs channel state information (Channel State Information, CSI) measurement and reporting, AGC and beam management, etc.

For the downlink, terminal equipment does not perform PDCCH and Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) reception on the Dormant BWP. This needs to be done by not configuring PDCCH resources, PDSCH resources and Semi-Persistent Scheduling (Semi-Persistent Scheduling) on the Dormant BWP. Scheduling, SPS) resources to achieve. However, it is required to implement CSI measurement, beam management, beam failure detection (BFD) and beam failure recovery (BFR) on the dormant BWP. Therefore, the channel state information reference signal (Channel State Information-Reference Signal, CSI-RS) configuration, the transmission configuration indication state (Transmission Configuration Indication-state, TCI-state) configuration, and the BFD-RS and BFR related configurations can be configured on the dormant BWP. Configure to configure.

For the uplink, there are two candidate ways to support dormant BWP. One is to define the uplink dormant BWP, and configure the uplink dormant BWP to constrain the uplink behavior of the dormant BWP; second, do not define the uplink dormant BWP, and use the protocol to constrain the uplink behavior of the dormant BWP. The latter is the preferred choice of agreement.

The types of CSI report (CSI report) are divided into periodic CSI report, semi-continuous CSI report, and aperiodic CSI report. In principle, any CSI report type can be sent in an SCell with non-dormant behavior. However, considering that aperiodic CSI reporting will cause the terminal device to charge electricity, when the terminal device enters the dormant BWP of the SCell, aperiodic CSI reporting is not supported.

The terminal device enters the dormant BWP on the SCell, that is, enters the dormancy behavior. Leaving the dormant BWP means leaving the dormancy behavior and entering the data receiving and sending state. This process is achieved through the BWP handover process. In order to effectively control the dormancy behavior of all SCells of the terminal equipment, the network side can configure different SCell groups through dedicated signaling. All SCells belonging to one SCell group share one network side dormancy indication information, and the network side issues dormancy indication information through DCI. In addition, in order to flexibly control the dormancy behavior of each SCell, the network side can also issue dormancy indication information for each SCell through DCI.

The dormancy behavior is part of the activation state, and the SCell with the dormancy behavior can be inactivated through the activation/deactivation MAC CE command. At the same time, the activation/deactivation MAC CE can also instruct the SCell in the deactivated state to enter the activated state, and further, the SCell that enters the activated state will first enter the initial activated BWP configured by the RRC (that is, the BWP indicated by the firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id).

Dormant BWP can support SRS transmission. Considering the purpose of saving power for terminal equipment, it is expected that Dormant BWP supports long-period SRS transmission. According to the different SCS configured by the dormant BWP, the configurable SRS period of the dormant BWP is different, so how to configure the SRS configuration of the dormant BWP is a clear question. To this end, the following technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are proposed.

FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of the SRS configuration method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3, the SRS configuration method includes the following steps:

Step 301: The network device sends first configuration information to the terminal device, where the first configuration information is used to determine the SRS configuration of the Dormant BWP, the SRS configuration includes a first SRS period, and the first SRS period is used for the terminal The device periodically sends the SRS on the dormant BWP.

In the embodiment of the present application, the network device sends the first configuration information to the terminal device, and correspondingly, the terminal device receives the first configuration information sent by the network device. In an optional manner, the network device may be a base station, such as a gNB.

In the embodiment of this application, the first configuration information is used to determine the SRS configuration of the dormant BWP, and the SRS configuration includes the first SRS period, and the first SRS period is used for the terminal device to cycle on the dormant BWP Send SRS. Here, after receiving the first configuration information, the terminal device may determine the SRS configuration based on the first configuration information. The content of the SRS configuration includes at least the first SRS period, and the terminal device is on the dormant BWP according to the first SRS period. SRS is sent periodically.

In the embodiment of this application, the configuration information of the SRS period can be referred to as shown in Table 2 below.

Table 2

In the foregoing Table 2, the SRS period is configured according to the number of slots, for example, SI80 represents the SRS period is 80 time slots, and SI160 represents the SRS period is 160 time slots.

In the embodiment of the present application, here, the SCS configured by the dormant BWP is determined based on a first SCS set, and the first SCS set includes at least one candidate SCS of the dormant BWP. Specifically, the network device determines a first SCS set, and the first SCS set includes at least one candidate SCS of the Dormant BWP; the network device selects one candidate SCS from the first SCS set, and compares all SCS candidates. The one candidate SCS is configured as the SCS of the Dormant BWP. Here, in an optional manner, the first SCS set is determined based on a protocol.

Here, for a dormant BWP, the configurable SCS (ie, candidate SCS) is restricted to one or more fixed ones, and one or more candidate SRSs form a first SCS set. Optionally, one or more candidate SRSs are stipulated by a protocol. For example, the first SCS set includes 15kHz subcarrier spacing and 30kHz subcarrier spacing, that is, for dormant BWP, the configurable SCS can only be 15kHz subcarrier spacing or 30kHz subcarrier spacing.

In the embodiment of the present application, different SCSs correspond to different timeslot lengths. For example, the timeslot length corresponding to the 15kHz subcarrier interval is 1ms, and the timeslot length corresponding to the 30kHz subcarrier interval is 0.5ms. Since the SRS cycle is configured according to the number of time slots (refer to Table 1 above), however, different SCSs correspond to different time slot lengths. Therefore, it is improper to configure the SRS cycle according to the number of time slots. For this reason, it is necessary to pass the SRS cycle The absolute time is expressed. Refer to Table 3 below. Table 3 shows the absolute time corresponding to various SRS periods (such as SI80 to SI2560) under different SCS configurations:

table 3

Among them, Δf represents SCS,

Indicates the number of slots included in a subframe. Among them, one subframe is 1ms.

In the embodiment of this application, the network device can configure the first SRS period for the Dormant BWP in any of the following ways.

●Method One

The first SRS period is selected from a first SRS period set, and the first SRS period set is the first SCS set or an SRS period set corresponding to each SCS in the first SCS set.

Specifically, the network device determines the first SCS set or the first SRS period set corresponding to each SCS in the first SCS set, and selects the first SRS period from the first SRS period set. Here, in an optional manner, the first SRS period set is determined based on a protocol.

In an optional manner, the protocol specifies the first SRS period set corresponding to the first SCS set, and when configuring the SRS period for the terminal device, the network device selects an appropriate SRS period from the first SRS period set for configuration. For example, the network device selects an SRS period greater than or equal to the first absolute time threshold from the first SRS period set. Here, the first absolute time threshold is, for example, 100 ms.

In another optional manner, the protocol specifies the SRS period set corresponding to each SCS in the first SCS set. The SRS period sets corresponding to all SCSs form the first SRS period set. When the network device configures the SRS period for the terminal device , Select an appropriate SRS period from the first SRS period set for configuration. For example, the network device selects an SRS period greater than or equal to the first absolute time threshold from the first SRS period set. Here, the first absolute time threshold is, for example, 100 ms.

●Method Two

The first SRS period is selected from a second SRS period set, and the second SRS period set is an SRS period set corresponding to the SCS configured by the dormant BWP.

Specifically, the network device determines a second SRS period set corresponding to the SCS configured by the dormant BWP, and selects the first SRS period from the second SRS period set.

Here, the second SRS period set includes one or more SRS periods supported by the SCS configured by the dormant BWP.

In an optional manner, the protocol specifies the SRS period set corresponding to each SCS in the first SCS set. When configuring the SRS period for the terminal device, the network device configures the SCS according to the Dormant BWP, and the second SRS corresponding to the SCS Select the appropriate SRS period from the SRS period set for configuration. For example, the network device selects an SRS period greater than or equal to the first absolute time threshold from the second SRS period set. Here, the first absolute time threshold is, for example, 100 ms.

●Method Three

If the dormant BWP belongs to the first frequency range (Frequency Range 1, FR1), the first SRS period is selected from the third SRS period set corresponding to the FR1; or, if the dormant BWP belongs to the first frequency range If the frequency range is two (Frequency Range 2, FR2), the first SRS period is selected from the fourth SRS period set corresponding to FR2.

Specifically, the network device determines whether the Dormant BWP belongs to FR1 or FR2; A) If the Dormant BWP belongs to FR1, the network device selects the first SRS from the third SRS period set corresponding to the FR1 Period; or, B) If the dormant BWP belongs to FR2, the network device selects the first SRS period from the fourth SRS period set corresponding to the FR2. Here, in an optional manner, the third SRS period set and the fourth SRS period set are determined based on a protocol.

In an optional manner, the protocol specifies a third SRS period set corresponding to FR1 and a fourth SRS period set corresponding to FR2. For example, the third SRS period set corresponding to FR1 includes: {sl320, sl640, sl1280, sl2560}, and the fourth SRS period set corresponding to FR2 includes: {sl1280, sl2560}.

The network device determines whether the FR to which the dormant BWP belongs is FR1 or FR2. If the FR to which the dormant BWP belongs is FR1, a suitable SRS period is selected from the third SRS period set corresponding to FR1 for configuration. For example, the network device selects an SRS period greater than or equal to the first absolute time threshold from the third SRS period set. If the FR to which the dormant BWP belongs is FR2, a suitable SRS period is selected from the fourth SRS period set corresponding to FR2 for configuration. For example, the network device selects an SRS period greater than or equal to the first absolute time threshold from the fourth SRS period set. Here, the first absolute time threshold is, for example, 100 ms.

In the above scheme, the frequency range of FR1 and FR2 is shown in Table 4 below:

To	频段范围Frequency range
FR1FR1	410MHz–7125MHz410MHz–7125MHz
FR2FR2	24250MHz–52600MHz24250MHz–52600MHz

Table 4

●Method Four

The network device determines the first SRS period based on a first absolute time threshold, where the absolute duration of the first SRS period is greater than or equal to the first absolute time threshold. Here, in an optional manner, the first absolute time threshold is determined based on a protocol.

In an example, the first absolute time threshold is 100 ms. It should be noted that the first absolute time threshold may also be other absolute time values greater than 100 ms or less than 100 ms.

It should be noted that the above methods 1 to 4 restrict the configuration of the first SRS cycle of the network device for the dormant BWP, among which the methods 1 to 3 restrict the configuration of the first SRS cycle of the network device through a specific SRS cycle set. , Method 4 is to restrict the configuration of the first SRS period by the network device through the first absolute time threshold.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned mode 1 to mode 4 can be implemented separately, or the above-mentioned mode 4 can also be implemented in combination with the above-mentioned mode 1, or mode 2, or mode 3.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may also report some configuration information that it expects to the network device, which is called auxiliary information, according to its own activation delay requirement and energy saving requirement of the SCell. In an optional manner, the auxiliary information includes at least one of the following: SRS period expected by the terminal device, comb information of the SRS frequency domain expected by the terminal device, and bandwidth of the dormant BWP expected by the terminal device The SCS of the Dormant BWP expected by the terminal device.

Specifically, the terminal device sends auxiliary information to the network device. Correspondingly, the network device receives the auxiliary information sent by the terminal device, and determines the SRS configuration and/or BWP configuration of the Dormant BWP based on the auxiliary information.

The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application provides a solution for restricting the configuration of the SRS period in the Dormant BWP, so that SRS transmission is supported on the Dormant BWP, and at the same time, it can be ensured that the configured SRS period meets the purpose of power saving of the terminal device.
