Description

一种通信方法及装置
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求在2020年07月31日提交中国专利局、申请号为202010763590.9、申请名称为“一种通信方法及装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,特别涉及一种通信方法及装置。
背景技术
与长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)相比,5G新无线(new radio,NR)的工作频率更高,上行信号传输的穿透损耗和距离损耗更大,因此NR上行(NR uplink,NUL)载波的覆盖范围比NR下行(NR downlink,NDL)载波的覆盖范围小14dB左右,这会导致小区边缘用户无法利用上行链路接入小区,从而降低小区边缘用户接入小区的成功率。为了增强上行覆盖,5G NR引入了辅助上行(supplementary uplink,SUL)载波。SUL载波的频率比较低,能够一定程度上地补充上行覆盖。
未来网络部署中,为了节省成本,可能将NUL载波和SUL载波异站址部署。例如,站点A部署了NUL#1载波和NDL#1载波,站点B部署了NUL#2载波、SUL载波和NDL#2载波,站点B的SUL载波覆盖范围比较大,使得接入NUL#1载波的用户设备(user equipment,UE)可以接入SUL载波。
UE在上行传输时一般需要根据路损信息获得上行载波的发送功率。由于上行载波和下行载波覆盖范围大致相同,UE可以通过接收下行载波传输的下行参考信号测量下行路损值,作为上行路损估计值。但是,对于没有对应下行载波的上行载波,由于没有对应的下行路损值可以作为上行路损估计值使用,从而无法获得该上行载波的上行发送功率。例如,在NUL载波和SUL载波异站址部署的场景下,SUL载波没有相应的下行载波,无法接收用于测量路损值的下行参考信号、获取相应的上行路损信息。例如,以上述站点A和站点B为例,假设UE上行可以接入站点A的NUL#1载波和站点B的SUL载波,下行可以接入站点A的NDL#1载波,由于NUL#1载波和SUL载波的对应基站站址不同,SUL载波没有相应的下行载波,UE无法接收SUL载波对应的下行参考信号,无法测量下行路损,以至于无法获取上行路损估计值,从而无法对SUL载波进行功率控制。

与LTE相比,5G NR的工作频率更高,上行信号传输的穿透损耗和距离损耗更大,其上行覆盖比下行覆盖小14dB左右。如图3所示,NR上行链路(uplink,UL)的覆盖范围 比NR下行链路(downlink,DL)的覆盖范围小,这会导致小区边缘用户无法利用上行链路接入小区,从而降低小区边缘用户接入小区的成功率。为了增强上行覆盖,5G NR引入了辅助上行(supplementary uplink,SUL)载波。SUL载波的频率比较低,能够一定程度上地补充上行覆盖,如图4所示。5G NR针对SUL载波与时分双工(time division duplex,TDD)载波组合,定义了一种小区类型,包括一个下行载波和两个上行载波,如图5所示。
未来网络部署中,为了节省成本,可能将NUL载波和SUL载波异站址部署。例如,如图6所示,站点A部署了NUL#1载波和NDL#1载波,站点B部署了NUL#2载波、SUL载波和NDL#2载波,站点B的SUL载波覆盖范围比较大,使得接入NUL#1载波的用户设备(user equipment,UE)可以接入SUL载波。
UE在上行传输时根据上行载波的路径损耗进行上行功率控制,如计算上行传输的发送功率或者上行载波的功率余量等。在LTE中,由于上行载波和下行载波覆盖范围大致相同,UE可以根据路损参考信号(例如,物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH)-pathlossReferenceRS)计算得到的下行路径损耗估计值,作为上行功率控制的路径损耗补偿值。路损参考信号可以有如下几种确定方式:
方式一、如果UE没有配置PUSCH-pathlossReferenceRS,或者在UE配置用于测量路径损耗的参数之前,UE可以利用同步信号/物理广播信道块(SS/PBCH block,SSB)计算下行路径损耗估计值,该SSB用于获取主信息块(master information block,MIB)。
方式二、如果PUSCH传输是由随机接入响应(random access response,RAR)UL授权(grant)调度的,UE可以采用和相关的物理随机接入信道(physical random access channel,PRACH)传输相同的参考信号索引来计算下行路径损耗估计值。
方式三、当配置了多个路损参考信号标识(identification,ID),基站可以进一步配置多个路损参考信号ID和探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS)资源指示(SRS resource indicator,SRI)字段不同指示值之间的关联关系。UE可以根据SRI指示信息确定当前PUSCH的路径损耗估计值采用哪个参考信号确定。路损参考信号可以为SSB或下行信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS)等等。
但是,在NUL载波和SUL载波异站址部署的场景下,SUL载波没有相应的下行载波,无法获取相应的路损信息。例如,以图6为例,UE上行可以接入站点A的NUL#1载波和站点B的SUL载波,下行可以接入站点A的NDL#1载波,由于NUL#1载波和SUL载波对应的站址不同,SUL载波没有相应的下行载波,UE无法获取下行参考信号,无法获取下行路损值作为SUL载波的上行路损估计值,从而无法对SUL载波进行功率控制。
基于此,本申请实施例提供一种通信方法及装置,用于解决没有对应下行载波的上行载波如何确定上行发送功率的问题。其中,方法和装置是基于同一发明构思的,由于方法及装置解决问题的原理相似,因此装置与方法的实施可以相互参见,重复之处不再赘述。
应理解,本申请实施例中“至少一个”是指一个或者多个,“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”,描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B的情况,其中A、B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。“以下至少一(项)个”或其类似表达,是指的这些项中的任意组合,包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如,a、b或c中的至少一项(个),可以表示:a,b,c,a和b,a和c,b和c,或a、b和c,其中a、b、c可以是单个,也可以是多个。
本申请实施例中,SUL载波可以但不限于包括如下三种:
第一种,SUL载波的定义可以为R15协议规定的SUL载波,例如LTE频分双工(frequency division dual,FDD)上行载波。
第二种,TDD载波。
第三种,TDD载波的上行时隙单元。
异站址部署的NUL载波和SUL载波可能的频谱组合可以但不限于包括如下5种组合:
组合1,6GHz+2.1GHz/2.3GHz,6GHz频段带宽足够大,下行容量大,NUL载波和SUL载波异站址部署用于提升上行覆盖和容量。
组合2,2.6GHz+6GHz+sub 1GHz,6GHz用于解决室外覆盖问题,sub 1GHz带宽小、覆盖大,用于增强室内覆盖/容量。
组合3,2.6GHz+4.9GHz,两个频点都是TDD载波,低频2.6GHz可以作为NUL,4.9GHz频段仅利用上行资源,2.6GHz上行可辅助4.9GHz上行。
组合4,2.6GHz+28GHz,NUL和SUL频段上行时隙互补,低频为主站,高频为辅站。两个频段DL频点差距大,路损测不准,NUL载波和SUL载波异站址部署用于提高容量。
组合5,2.6GHz+1.9GHz/2.0GHz,LTE为主力频谱,上行载波通过动态频谱共享(dynamic spectrum sharing,DSS)与NR频谱共享。
另外,需要理解的是,在本申请的描述中,“第一”、“第二”等词汇,仅用于区分描述的目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性,也不能理解为指示或暗示顺序,也不代表个数。
下面结合附图对本申请实施例提供的方法进行具体说明。本申请实施例提供的方法可以应用于图6所示的场景中。UE可以通过本申请实施例提供的方法对没有对应下行载波的上行载波确定上行发送功率或功率余量。
实施例一:参见图7,为本申请提供的一种通信方法的流程示意图。该方法包括:
S701,第一网络设备确定第一信息,第一信息可以为第一上行载波的路径损耗值,第一信息也可以为功率偏移值,第一信息用于确定第一上行载波上的第一上行传输的发送功率。
示例性的,第一上行载波可以是第二上行载波的SUL载波,第一网络设备可以为部署第一上行载波的网络设备,第二网络设备可以为部署第二上行载波的网络设备。例如,以图6所示,第一上行载波可以为SUL载波,第二上行载波可以为NUL#1载波,第一网络设备可以为站点B,第二网络设备可以为站点A。
其中,第一上行载波所在的服务小区与第二上行载波所在的服务小区可以为同一服务小区。或者,第一上行载波和第二上行载波可以由系统消息块1(system information block 1,SIB1)配置。
第一上行传输可以但不限于为:PRACH、SRS、物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)、用于传输数据或者消息3(msg3)的PUSCH。
在一些实施例中,第一网络设备确定第一信息,可以通过如下方式实现:终端设备在第一上行载波上向第一网络设备发送第二上行传输。第一网络设备根据第二上行传输确定第一信息。
示例性的,第二上行传输可以但不限于为:PRACH,msg3,PUSCH或者SRS。
一种实现方式中,第一网络设备还可以接收第二上行传输的发送功率信息。第一网络设备根据第二上行传输确定第一信息时,可以根据第二上行传输的发送功率信息和测量值确定第一信息。其中,第二上行传输的发送功率信息可以是终端设备发送的;或者,第二上行传输的发送功率也可以是网络设备预配置的。例如,第二上行传输的发送功率也可以是第一网络设备预配置的。又例如,第二上行传输的发送功率也可以是第二网络设备预配置的,并由第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送。
其中,第二上行传输的测量值可以根据参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power,RSRP)、接收信号强度指示(received signal strength indicator,RSSI)、参考信号接收质量(reference signal received quality,RSRQ)或信号干扰噪声比(signal to interference plus noise ratio,SINR)确定。
其中,RSRP为小区下行参考信号测量带宽内功率的线性值(每个资源元素(resource element,RE)上的功率),用于反映当前信道的路径损耗强度。
RSSI为UE探测带宽内一个正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,OFDM)符号所有RE上的总接收功率,包括服务小区和非服务小区信号、相邻信道干扰,系统内部热噪声等,用于反应当前信道的接收信号强度和干扰程度。
RSRQ=M*RSRP/RSSI,其中M为RSSI测量带宽内的资源块(resource block,RB)数,即为系统带宽内的RB总数,用户反映和指示当前信道质量的信噪比和干扰水平。
SINR为UE探测带宽内的参考信号功率与干扰噪声功率的比值,用于反应当前信道的链路质量。
举例说明,第一网络设备可以将第二上行传输的发送功率与第一网络设备接收到该第二上行传输的功率RSRP相减得到第一上行载波的路径损耗值PL#1或者功率偏移值delta#1。
在一种可能的实施方式中,终端设备可以实施上行切换。例如,终端设备在第一上行载波上向第一网络设备发送第二上行传输之前,可以发送第三上行传输,第三上行传输是在第二上行载波上向第二网络设备发送的。其中,第三上行传输可以是第二上行传输的前一个上行传输,第二上行传输可以是终端设备上行切换后的在第一上行载波上发送的第一个上行传输。
S702,第一网络设备发送该第一信息。相应的,终端设备获得该第一信息。
一种实现方式中,第一网络设备可以向第二网络设备发送第一信息,第二网络设备通过下行载波向终端设备发送该第一信息。例如,以图6所示的通信系统,站点B可以向站点A发送第一信息,站点A通过下行载波NDL#1向终端设备发送第一信息。
可选的,第一信息可以承载在下行控制信息中,其中下行控制信息可以为UE专用DCI,如上行调度信令,包括:DCI格式0_1,0_2,以及其他格式的上行调度信令;或者,下行控制信息可以为公共DCI,该公共DCI可以用于指示多个服务小区或者多个载波或多个终端设备的上行路损值。
可选的,第一信息也可以承载在媒体介入控制(media access control,MAC)层控制元素(MAC control element,MAC CE)上。或者,所述第一信息承载在无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令中。
S703,终端设备采用第一发送功率在第一上行载波上发送第一上行传输。
示例性的,第一发送功率可以由目标功率值、路径损耗值、路径损耗补偿因子、传输 资源块的数量、调制编码方式和闭环功率控制参数确定,其中,路径损耗值为第一上行载波的路径损耗值。
例如,第一发送功率可以符合如下公式,或者,也可以理解为第一发送功率可以通过如下公式确定:

PL b,f,c(q d)为终端设备接收到第一上行载波的路径损耗值。

Δ TF,b,f,c(i)由调制编码方式确定,Δ TF,b,f,c(i)根据第一上行传输承载的信息类型(例如承载UL-共享信道(shared channel,SCH)数据信息,或者信道状态信息(channel state information,CSI)等)、占用的物理资源位置、数量等因素确定。
f b,f,c(i,l)是闭环功率控制参数,即第一网络设备的服务小区(serving cell)c的载波f的上行激活部分带宽b上的传输时机i上的第一上行传输功率控制调整状态,该信息可以是由第一网络设备下发DCI信令通知终端设备的,可以使得第一网络设备根据当前传输的信道状态、调度情况实时调整上行传输发送功率。
在一种可能的实施方式中,终端设备在发送第一上行传输之后在一段时间内可以根据步骤S702中接收到第一信息确定第一上行载波上的上行传输的发送功率。例如,终端设备接收第一上行载波的路径损耗值之后,可以根据路径损耗值确定第一上行载波上的第四 上行传输的第二发送功率,并采用第二发送功率在第一上行载波上发送第四上行传输,其中,路径损耗值的接收时刻与第四上行传输的发送时刻之间的时间间隔不超过预设阈值。或者,第四上行传输的发送时刻与第四上行传输的发送时刻之间的时间间隔不超过预设阈值。其中,预设域值可以是预定义的,网络设备和终端设备事先约定好的;或者,预设值可以是高层参数配置的;或者,预设值可以是MAC CE激活的;或者预设值可以是下行控制信息DCI指示的。
在另一种可能的实施方式中,终端设备在发送第一上行传输之后可以切换到第二上行载波进行上行传输,当终端设备由第二上行载波重新切换到第一上行载波后,可以根据步骤S702中接收到第一信息确定重新切换到第一上行载波后第一个上行传输的发送功率,如图8所示。
例如,终端设备在第一上行载波上发送第一上行传输之后,在第二上行载波上发送上行传输。第一上行传输为终端设备在第二上行载波发送上行传输之前,在第一上行载波上发送的最后一个上行传输。终端设备在第二上行载波上发上行传输之前,终端设备可以保存第一信息。终端设备在第二上行载波上发送上行传输之后,在第一上行载波上发送上行传输,其中,该上行传输的发送功率根据第一信息确定。

可选地,PRACH可以是UE在SUL载波上发往站点B的第一个上行传输。
S902,站点B收到PRACH之后,获取PRACH的接收功率。
S903,站点B根据PRACH的发送功率和接收功率计算出SUL载波的路径损耗值PL#1。或者,站点B根据PRACH的发送功率和接收功率确定功率偏移值delta#1。
S904,站点B向站点A发送PL#1或者delta#1。
S905,站点A通过下行载波NDL#1将PL#1或者delta#1发送给UE。
可选的,PL#1或者delta#1可以承载在下行控制信息中,其中下行控制信息可以为UE专用DCI,如上行调度信令,包括:DCI格式0_1,0_2,以及其他格式的上行调度信令;或者,下行控制信息可以为公共DCI,该公共DCI可以用于指示多个服务小区或者多个载波或多个终端设备的上行路损值。

可选的,PL#1或者delta#1也可以承载在MAC CE上。或者,所述第一信息承载在RRC信令中。
S1006,终端设备根据PL#1或者delta#1确定SUL载波上的第一上行传输的发送功率。
第一上行传输可以为PRACH、SRS、PUCCH、用于传输数据或者msg3的PUSCH等等。
S1007,终端设备以该发送功率在定SUL载波上发送第一上行传输。
本申请实施例一中,通过第一网络设备确定上行路径损耗值或者上行功率偏移值,并通知给终端设备,使得终端设备可以使用第一网络设备通知的路径损耗值或者功率偏移值确定其他上行传输的发送功率,对于没有对应下行载波的上行载波,能够获得上行发送功率。
当本申请提供的方法应用于异站址部署的NUL载波和SUL载波场景中时,可以减少UL切换失败导致的UL业务中断,并且可以降低部署SUL站址数量,降低UL传输时延,改善上行容量,并且可以更好地支持移动性。
