Description

重复传输的方法、装置
本申请要求于2020年7月31日提交中国专利局、申请号为202010761996.3、申请名称为“重复传输的方法、装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,以及2021年2月8日提交中国专利局、申请号为202110170410.0、申请名称为“重复传输的方法、装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,上述全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,并且,更具体地,涉及重复传输的方法和装置。
背景技术
在无线通信系统中,用户设备(user equipment,UE)和基站(base station,或g Node B,gNB)之间交互的信息通过物理信道进行承载。因此,可以通过重复传输数据进行合并检测,提升信道估计性能,提升数据解调性能。对于一些深覆盖场景,如小区边沿,或者地下室等,无线信号传播的路径损耗非常严重。在这种情况下,需要考虑覆盖增强手段,这对于上行传输尤为重要,因为UE的发送功率往往较低,例如为23dBm,远低于gNB的发送功率(例如,一个带宽为20MHz的gNB,其典型发送功率为46dBm)。一种增强覆盖性能的方法是重复发送数据,例如,UE重复发送物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH)数据,而gNB对重复发送的数据进行合并检测,可以提升信道估计性能,提升数据解调性能,从而提升小区覆盖能力。
然而,在一些场景下,如新无线(new radio,NR)通信系统中,考虑到跨时隙边界或上行、下行数据切换时会导致重复传输被切断,会导致实际的传输码率过高,从而造成信息比特无法完整传输的情况,此外,由于重复传输被切断后,实际传输中会进行两次独立的信道估计,因为一次独立信道估计时采用的解调参考信号(Demodulation Reference Signal,DMRS)较少,可能估计的信道不准确。同时,当待传输块的比特太小时,会导致信道编码的增益较小,降低当前重复传输的译码性能。

具体实施方式
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:第五代(5th generation,5G)系统或NR系统、长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统、LTE频分双工(frequency division duplex,FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(time division duplex,TDD)、通用移动通信系统(universal mobile telecommunication system,UMTS)等。
图1是适用于本申请实施例的无线通信系统100的另一示意图。如图1所示,该无线通信系统100可以包括至少一个终端设备,例如图1中的终端设备121和122;该无线通信系统100还可以包括多个网络设备,例如图1中的网络设备111和网络设备112。图1中的终端设备121可以同时与终端设备122、网络设备121和网络设备112进行通信,网络设备121可以同时与终端设备121、终端设备122和网络设备112进行通信。网络设备和终端设备均可配置多个天线,网络设备与终端设备可使用多天线技术通信。
应理解,图1仅是示例性说明,本申请并未限定于此。
应理解,该无线通信系统中的网络设备可以是任意一种具有无线收发功能的设备。该设备包括但不限于:演进型节点B(evolved Node B,eNB)、无线网络控制器(Radio Network Controller,RNC)、节点B(Node B,NB)、基站控制器(Base Station Controller,BSC)、基站收发台(Base Transceiver Station,BTS)、家庭基站(例如,Home evolved NodeB, 或Home Node B,HNB)、基带单元(Base Band Unit,BBU),无线保真(Wireless Fidelity,WIFI)系统中的接入点(Access Point,AP)、无线中继节点、无线回传节点、传输点(transmission point,TP)或者发送接收点(transmission and reception point,TRP)等,还可以为5G,如,NR,系统中的gNB,或,传输点(TRP或TP),5G系统中的基站的一个或一组(包括多个天线面板)天线面板,或者,还可以为构成gNB或传输点的网络节点,如基带单元(BBU),或,分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)等。
在一些部署中,gNB可以包括集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)和DU。gNB还可以包括有源天线单元(active antenna unit,简称AAU)。CU实现gNB的部分功能,DU实现gNB的部分功能。比如,CU负责处理非实时协议和服务,实现无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC),分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层的功能。DU负责处理物理层协议和实时服务,实现无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层和物理(physical,PHY)层的功能。AAU实现部分物理层处理功能、射频处理及有源天线的相关功能。由于RRC层的信息最终会变成PHY层的信息,或者,由PHY层的信息转变而来,因而,在这种架构下,高层信令,如RRC层信令,也可以认为是由DU发送的,或者,由DU+AAU发送的。可以理解的是,网络设备可以为包括CU节点、DU节点、AAU节点中一项或多项的设备。此外,可以将CU划分为接入网(radio access network,RAN)中的网络设备,也可以将CU划分为核心网(core network,CN)中的网络设备,本申请对此不做限定。
为便于理解本申请实施例,下面首先对本申请中涉及的几个术语做简单介绍。
1、冗余版本
冗余版本:冗余版的设计用于实现增量冗余(Incremental redundancy,IR)混合自动重传请求(Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest,HARQ)传输,即将编码器生成的冗余比特分成若干组,每个RV定义一个传输开始点,首次传送和各次HARQ重传分别使用不同的RV,以实现冗余比特的逐步积累,完成增量冗余HARQ操作。在LTE研究过程中,曾考虑过两种RV数量:4个和8个,经过讨论后确定采用4个RV。RV的定义与软缓存(SoftBuffer)的大小有关,选择发送端循环缓存和接收端软缓存二者中较小者,将4个RV均匀分布在这个范围内。
2、低密度校验码
低密度校验码(Low Density Parity Coding,LDPC),它是一类具有稀疏校验矩阵的线性分组码,不仅有逼近Shannon限的良好性能,而且译码复杂度较低,结构灵活。
LDPC码的译码算法包括以下三大类:硬判决译码,软判决译码和混合译码。
(1)硬判决译码将接收的实数序列先通过解调器进行解调,再进行硬判决,得到硬判决0,1序列,最后将得到的硬判决序列输送到硬判决译码器进行译码。这种方式的计算复杂度固然很低,但是硬判决操作会损失掉大部分的信道信息,导致信道信息利用率很低,硬判决译码的信道信息利用率和译码复杂度是三大类译码中最低的。常见的硬判决译码算法有比特翻转(bit-flipping,BF)算法、一步大数逻辑(one-step majority-logic,OSMLG)译码算法。
(2)软判决译码可以看成是无穷比特量化译码,它充分利用接收的信道信息(软信息),信道信息利用率得到了极大的提高,软判决译码利用的信道信息不仅包括信道信息 的符号,也包括信道信息的幅度值。信道信息的充分利用,极大地提高了译码性能,使得译码可以迭代进行,充分挖掘接收的信道信息,最终获得出色的误码性能。软判决译码的信道信息利用率和译码复杂度是三大类译码中最高的。最常用的软判决译码算法是和积译码算法,又称置信传播(belief propagation,BP)算法。
(3)与上述的硬判决译码和软判决译码相比,混合译码结合了软判决译码和硬判决译码的特点,是一类基于可靠度的译码算法,它在硬判决译码的基础上,利用部分信道信息进行可靠度的计算。常用的混合译码算法有、加权比特翻转(weighted BF,WBF)算法、加权OSMLG(weighted OSMLG,WMLG)译码算法。
3、传输块
传输块(Transport block,TB),一个传输块就是包含MAC PDU的一个数据块,这个数据块会在一个TTI上传输,也是HARQ重传的单位。LTE规定:对于每个终端一个TTI最多可以发送两个传输块。这个是针对某个UE,而对于eNodeB,每个TTI调度的传输块就不止两个,因为可以同时调度多个UE。TB是MAC的概念。
4、时隙
时隙(slot):在NR中,时隙为时间的最小调度单元。一种时隙的格式为包含14个正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)符号,每个OFDM符号的CP为正常CP(normal CP);一种时隙的格式为包含12个OFDM符号,每个OFDM符号的CP为扩展CP(extended CP);一种时隙的格式为包含7个OFDM符号,每个OFDM符号的CP为正常CP。一个时隙中的OFDM符号可以全用于上行传输;可以全用于下行传输;也可以一部分用于下行传输,一部分用于上行传输,一部分预留不进行传输。应理解,以上举例仅为示例性说明,不应对本申请构成任何限定。出于系统前向兼容性考虑,时隙格式不限于以上示例。
5、时频资源:在本申请实施例中,数据或信息可以通过时频资源来承载,其中,该时频资源可以包括时域上的资源和频域上的资源。其中,在时域上,时频资源可以包括一个或多个时域单元(或者,也可以称为时间单位),在频域上,时频资源可以包括频域单元。
其中,一个时域单元(也可称为时间单元)可以是一个符号或者几个符号,或者一个迷你时隙(mini-slot),或者一个时隙(slot),或者一个子帧(subframe),其中,一个子帧在时域上的持续时间可以是1毫秒(ms),一个时隙由7个或者14个符号组成,一个迷你时隙可以包括至少一个符号(例如,2个符号或7个符号或者14个符号,或者小于等于14个符号的任意数目符号)。列举的上述时域单元大小仅仅是为了方便理解本申请的方案,不应理解对本申请的限定,可以理解的是,上述时域单元大小可以为其它值,本申请不做限定。
一个频域单元可以是一个资源块(resource block,RB),或者一个资源块组(resource block group,RBG),或者一个预定义的子带(subband)。
6、解调参考信号
解调参考信号(Demodulation Reference Signal,DMRS),在数据传输过程中,用于上下行数据解调。
在无线通信系统,如NR通信系统中,UE和gNB之间交互的信息通过物理信道进 行承载。其中,UE发送的数据,也即上行数据,通常通过PUSCH承载;UE发送的控制信息,即:上行控制信息,通常通过物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)承载。此外,UE还可以发送探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS),gNB通过接收UE的SRS,可以估计UE在不同频率上的信道质量。
例如,对上行SRS,当前NR协议支持{1,2,4}不同次数的重复传输;针对PUSCH传输,当前NR协议支持{1,2,4,8}不同次数的重复传输。当前,对SRS和PUSCH的重复传输次数,通过无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令进行配置。例如,PUSCH通过RRC的“ConfiguredGrantConfig::RepK={n1,n2,n4,n8}”字段进行配置,SRS通过RRC的“SRS-Resource::RepetitionFactor={n1,n2,n4}”字段进行配置。当UE收到上述RRC信令配置后,进行相应的重复次数的传输。
通常,RRC还包含了连接管理、无线承载控制和连接移动性等诸多过程,RRC信令从高层传达给终端需要经历较长时间(例如,百毫秒),因此无法灵活动态的适配传输信道的变化。因此,在后续NR讨论中,在38.214协议中针对PUSCH引入了通过下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)来动态指示PUSCH的重复传输次数,来灵活的匹配当前PUSCH传输的信道质量。具体的,通过DCI中的时域资源分配(Time Domain Resource Allocation,TDRA)表格的索引来确定重复传输的次数。如下,以PUSCH传输为例,说明本申请技术方案,但本申请技术方案也适用于下行的重复传输。
当终端设备被调度为发送传输块而没有信道状态信息CSI报告,或者终端设备被调度为通过DCI在PUSCH上发送传输块和CSI报告时,DCI的时域资源分配字段值m提供行索引m+1到分配的表。索引行定义时隙偏移量K 2,起始和长度指示符SLIV,或直接定义起始符号S和分配长度L,以及要在PUSCH传输中应用的PUSCH映射类型。具体地,通过DCI中的TDRA表格的索引来确定重复传输的次数。因此,当前PUSCH的重复传输次数可以通过DCI指示来确定PUSCH的重复传输次数。
因此,当前PUSCH的重复传输次数可以通过DCI指示(动态调度以及Type2PUSCH的免授权调度)或者RRC消息的RepK(Type1的免授权调度)来确定PUSCH的重复传输次数。
在R15中,不允许一个PUSCH的传输跨过时隙边界,因此,为了避免跨时隙边界的传输PUSCH,UE可以在连续的可用时隙中通过UL grant或者RRC信令配置PUSCH的重复传输,称为PUSCH repetition typeA,其中,PUSCH在各个时隙的重复传输的时域资源相同(预留)。
图2为一种PUSCH重复发送的时域资源分配的示意图。如图所示,通常情况下,基站每次传输调度的时域资源不会大于或者等于14个时域单元,基站每次都按相同的时域资源分配,所以,时域资源所占用的时域位置是相同的。同时,一次传输调度的时域资源占用一个时隙,在避免出现被时隙边界切割的同时,会造成传输资源断断续续的现象。
在Rel-16协议新增PUSCH repetition typeB,对于PUSCH repetition typeB,DCI中的TDRA字段或type1免授权调度中的TDRA参数指示第一个“nominal”重复的资源,剩余重复传输的时域资源基于第一个PUSCH的时域资源和UL/DL时隙配置计算出来的。如果“nominal”传输跨越了时隙边界或DL/UL切换点,则“nominal”传输在时隙边界或切换点处分裂为多个PUSCH重复,因此实际的重复次数可以大于指示值。
图3为一种PUSCH重复发送跨时隙边界的示意图。如图所示,如果一次传输的时域资源全部为UL(DL)资源且小于一个时隙大小,则不会发生跨边界传输的情况,实际重复次数(actual repetitions)等于预配置的重复次数(nominal repetitions)。如果一次传输的时域资源跨越了UL/DL切换点,则所述的一次传输资源会在切换点被切割为多个PUSCH重复,此时实际重复次数大于预配置重复次数。如果一次传输的时域资源跨越了时隙边界(slot boundary),则所述的一次传输资源会在时隙边界被切割为多个PUSCH重复,此时实际重复次数大于预配置的重复次数。
当前重复传输时会进行RV循环,即在多次重复传输时会按照配置的RV编号的循环顺序,从编码后比特序列的不同起点位置,选择出连续的待发送的比特序列,完成速率匹配并进行重复发送,尽可能传输不同的信息比特和校验比特,改善接收端的合并译码的增益。
图4为一种PUSCH重复发送跨时隙边界的RV循环的示意图。如图所示,在一个RV循环中,第一次重复传输为Rep#1,重复传输的起始位置为RV0;第二次重复传输为Rep#2,重复传输的起始位置为RV2;第三次重复传输为Rep#3,重复传输的起始位置为RV3。通过尽可能的选择不同的起始位置,以此传输不同的信息比特和校验比特,提高接收端合并译码的增益。
图5为一种LDPC编码后的RV编号和起点选择的示意图。如图所示,传输块大小(Transport block size,TBS)为一个完整的传输资源块大小,经过LDPC编码后,RV编号方式为RV0、RV1、RV2、RV3。
重复传输在跨时隙边界时可能会被切换,导致当前重复传输的实际可用时域单元的数目变少,而在传输块大小TBS依旧不变的情况,会导致实际传输的码率过高,降低当前重复传输的译码正确率。
图6为一种PUSCH跨时隙边界的重复传输的示意图。如图所示,当前gNB配置了>2次的TypeB的PUSCH的重复传输,每次传输调度的时域资源为14个时域单元,第一次传输需要跨时隙边界,因此第一次传输被切断为两次重复传输,即第一次传输实际只占用4个时域单元资源,从LDPC编码后比特序列的RV0位置进行速率匹配和重复发送。而剩下的10个时域单元资源将进行第二次的重复传输,从LDPC编码后比特序列的RV2位置进行速率匹配和重复发送。存在两个问题:
(1)第一次传输:虽然预配置了14个时域单元资源,并以此计算TBS,但因为跨slot边界导致当前传输被切断为两次传输,因此在第一次实际传输时只占用了4个时域单元,导致实际传输码率很高,实际码率为gNB初始配置的码率的14/4倍,实际码率过高导致译码失败可能性极大,其中,实际传输码率为当跨slot边界导致当前传输被切断为两次传输时,实际的传输码率,gNB初始配置的码率为配置的调制阶数的码率;
(2)第二次传输:占用10个时域单元资源,并从LDPC编码后比特序列的RV2对应的位置进行比特选择。而原本不跨slot边界的一次传输中,当前第二次传输的比特序列应该和第一次传输的比特序列,在LDPC编码后的比特序列中的位置连续,即第二次传输的比特序列的起点在LDPC编码后比特序列的位置,应该沿着第一次传输的比特序列的末尾在LDPC编码后比特序列的位置。然而,在一次重复传输跨slot边界被切断之后,第二次传输从LDPC编码后比特序列中的RV2对应的位置进行比特选择,可能导致LDPC编 码后比特序列中第一次传输的比特序列和第二次传输的比特序列中间的部分信息比特和或校验比特无法传输的情况,使得接收端的译码性能显著下降。
在无线通信中,对于一些深覆盖场景,如小区边沿,或者地下室等,无线信号传播的路径损耗非常严重。在这种情况下,需要考虑覆盖增强手段,这对于上行传输尤为重要,因为UE的发送功率往往较低,例如为23dBm,远低于gNB的发送功率(例如,一个带宽为20MHz的gNB,其典型发送功率为46dBm)。一种增强覆盖性能的方法是重复发送数据,例如,UE重复发送PUSCH数据,而gNB对重复发送的数据进行合并检测,可以提升信道估计性能,提升数据解调性能,从而提升小区覆盖能力。
如上所述,当前NR协议支持上行的重复传输,即通过UE重复的发送数据,gNB对重复发送的数据进行接收合并,提升接收信号的信噪比,有效改善信道估计能力和解调性能,从而提升小区的覆盖能力。
介于上述问题,本申请通过gNB和UE之间协定一种重复传输时的RV的起点选择,解决现有技术中因为存在重复传输跨时隙边界导致实际码率过高而译码失败的问题。
应理解,在本申请实施例中出现的时域单元,可以是时域符号、子帧、半帧,或帧等,本申请在此不做限定。
图7为一种适用本申请的重复传输的方法的一例的示意性流程图。该方法包括:
下文实施例,为区分且不失一般性,用第一设备表示网络设备,第二设备表示终端设备。
应理解,第一设备和第二设备还可能有其他形式,例如,第一设备与第二设备均可以为网络设备,或,第一设备与第二设备均可以为终端设备,或,第一设备可以为终端设备,第二设备可以为网络设备,此处不做限定。
S710,第一设备进行预设条件判断。
可选地,第一设备在初始配置时域资源的过程中,配置的用于重复传输的时域单元传输的比特序列的起点以及长度等基本参数由第一设备进行配置,其中,该配置的用于重复传输包括第一传输与第二传输,第一传输与第二传输承载相同的传输块,第二传输为所述第一传输前一次的传输,也就是说,第二传输为第一传输在时间上相邻,且在时间上先于第一传输。第一传输和第二传输可以占用不同的时隙或者在一个时隙内不连续,例如,当在一个时隙中,传输跨越了上行数据与下行数据的切换点,会造成第一传输和第二传输在一个时隙内不连续,或者,当在不同时隙时,第一传输和第二传输被时隙边界间隔开。因此,第一设备可以在预设过程中计算出该时域单元是否存在占用至少两个时隙或者在一个时隙内不连续的情况。
具体地,第一设备在得知上述计算结果后,会进行条件判断,即:第一传输的时域单元是否满足第一预设条件,或,第二传输的时域单元是否满足第二预设条件。
可选地,第一预设条件可以包括第一传输的第一比特序列的实际传输码率是否大于或者等于第一预设阈值,该第一传输的第一比特序列的实际传输码率为配置的用于重复传输的时域单元传输的比特序列的初始码率和第一比值的乘积,该初始码率为配置的一次重复传输的码率,该第一比值为该配置的一次重复传输的时域单元的数目与该第一传输的时域单元的数目的比值。

可选地,第一设备与第二设备均会确定第一比特序列与第二比特序列中的至少一个参数相等,其中,所述参数包括:功率,预编码和天线端口。
当第一传输的时域单元和第二传输的时域单元占用不同的时隙或者在一个时隙内不连续,会分以两次独立的重复传输的形式进行数据传输。第一传输与第二传输的相关参数配置是相互独立的,接收端会对两次传输的数据进行独立的信道估计,再分别对两次传输的数据进行解调和译码。然而,由于数据被分为两次独立的传输,会导致当接收端对每次传输的数据进行信道估计时,采用的DMRS序列较少,造成信道估计不准确。因此,通过确定第一比特序列和第二比特序列中的至少一个参数相等,可以在接收到两个比特序列之后,统一进行联合信道估计,以此提高信道估计的准确性,从而,提升两次传输的数据解调和译码的准确性。由于,在实际实现的过程中,因为两次的数据传输是独立的,参数的不一致,依然会导致联合信道估计的失败。例如,当第二次传输的功率发生较大的变化,可能会在第二次传输过程中产生一个相对于第一次传输的随机相位,在估计的信道中耦合了这个随机相位,由于无法消除,导致估计的信道不准确;当发送天线端口不是同一个端口,通过DMRS估计出的信道也会不一致;此外,在数据传输中,两次传输的预编码也应相同,有助于接收端做联合信道估计。
通过确定第一比特序列与第二比特序列中的至少一个参数相等,可以基于两次重复传输的所有DMRS时域单元,一起做信道估计,相比于每次重复传输中利用当前重复传输的DMRS时域单元进行信道估计,可以利用更多的DMRS时域单元来提升信道估计的准确性,从而提高传输的数据解调和译码的可靠性。

示例地,在进行多次上行传输之后,第一设备在接收S1240中的在多个时间单元上发送的序列,需要4个时隙的比特序列均接收,再做该比特序列相应的信道译码与解调。
由于未给时隙的第二待编码块都是单独的LDPC信道编码,当第二待编码块的比特大 小太小时,会导致信道编码的增益较小。通过确定第一待编码块为至少两个第二该待编码块,对第一待编码块进行信道编码和速率匹配,可以增强信道编码增益,改善传输能力。同时重新确定第一比特序列的起始比特与第二比特序列的结束比特在编码后的比特序列中的位置连续,可以降低传输的实际码率,即使存在跨时隙边界或上行数据/下行数据切换点的情况,多次重复传输时依然能够保证较好的合并译码的准确性。

示例地,第二设备在接收第一指示信息后,确定第一待编码块包括至少两个第二待编码块。
该第一待编码块包括至少两个第二待编码块的具体形式,可以参考方法1200中的S1230的描述,为了简洁,此处不再赘述。

S1350,进行第二预设条件判断。
可选地,第一设备会根据预设规则或第二预设条件判断,确定第一比特序列的起始比特与第二比特序列的结束比特在编码后的比特序列中的位置连续。
该第二预设条件的具体内容,可以参考方法1200中的S1250的描述,为了简洁,此处不再赘述。

可选地,当第一传输的时域单元的数目和/或第二传输的时域单元的数目满足S1250中的第二预设条件时,第一设备会通过发送第二指示信息,告知第二设备第一比特序列的起始比特与第二比特序列的结束比特在编码后的比特序列中的位置连续。

图14为一种适用本申请的重复传输的方法的另一例的示意性流程图。该方法包括:
下文实施例,为区分且不失一般性,用第一设备表示网络设备,第二设备表示终端设备。
应理解,第一设备和第二设备还可能有其他形式,例如,第一设备与第二设备均可以为网络设备,或,第一设备与第二设备均可以为终端设备,或,第一设备可以为终端设备,第二设备可以为网络设备,此处不做限定。
S1410,进行预设条件判断。
示例地,第一设备在初始配置时域资源的过程中,配置的一次重复传输的时隙单元传输的比特序列的起点以及长度等基本参数由第一设备进行配置,其中,该配置的一次重复传输包括第一传输与第二传输,第一传输与第二传输承载相同的传输块,第二传输为第一传输前一次的传输,也就是说,第二传输为第一传输在时间上相邻,且在时间上先于第一传输。例如,当在一个时隙中,传输跨越了上行数据与下行数据的切换点,会造成第一传输和第二传输在一个时隙内不连续。因此,第一设备可以在预设过程中可以计算出该次传输是否存在占用至少两个时隙或者在一个时隙内不连续的情况。
具体地,第一设备在得知上述计算结果后,会进行条件判断,即:第一传输的时域单元是否满足第一预设条件,或第二传输的时域单元是否满足第二预设条件。具体判断过程可参考S710步骤,为了简洁,此处不再赘述。
S1420,确定第一比特序列与第二比特序列中的至少一个参数相等,
示例地,第一设备与第二设备均会确定第一比特序列与第二比特序列中的至少一个参数相等,其中,所述参数包括:功率,预编码和天线端口。
当第一传输和第二传输占用不同的时隙或者在一个时隙内不连续,会分以两次独立的重复传输的形式进行数据传输。第一传输与第二传输的相关参数配置是相互独立的,接收端会对两次传输的数据进行独立的信道估计,再分别对两次传输的数据进行解调和译码。然而,由于数据被分为两次独立的传输,会导致当接收端对每次传输的数据进行信道估计时,采用的DMRS序列较少,造成信道估计不准确。因此,通过确定第一比特序列和第 二比特序列中的至少一个参数相等,可以在接收到两个比特序列之后,统一进行联合信道估计,以此提高信道估计的准确性,从而,提升两次传输的数据解调和译码的准确性。由于,在实际实现的过程中,因为两次的数据传输是独立的,参数的不一致,依然会导致联合信道估计的失败。例如,当第二次传输的功率发生较大的变化,可能会在第二次传输过程中产生一个相对于第一次传输的随机相位,在估计的信道中耦合了这个随机相位,由于无法消除,导致估计的信道不准确;当发送天线端口不是同一个端口,通过DMRS估计出的信道也会不一致;此外,在数据传输中,两次传输的预编码参数也应相同,有助于接收端做联合信道估计。
S1430,进行多次上行传输。
示例地,第二设备会进行多次上行重复传输。示例地,第一设备会将两次重复传输的比特序列均接收之后,再做比特序列相应的联合信道估计,完成数据解调与译码的操作。
重复传输在跨时隙边界或上行数据/下行数据切换点时可能会造成时域资源的不连续,导致一次重复传输被分为两次独立的重复传输。由于两次独立的重复传输的参数是独立的,会导致对两次重复传输进行独立的信道估计。介于每次信道估计采用的DMRS较少,会降低信道估计的准确性。因此,通过方法1400的实施,可以基于两次重复传输的所有DMRS时域单元,一起做信道估计,相比于每次重复传输中利用当前重复传输的DMRS时域单元进行信道估计,可以利用更多的DMRS时域单元来提升信道估计的准确性,从而提高传输的数据解调和译码的可靠性。

下文实施例,为区分且不失一般性,用第一设备表示网络设备,第二设备表示终端设备。
应理解,第一设备和第二设备还可能有其他形式,例如,第一设备与第二设备均可以为网络设备,或,第一设备与第二设备均可以为终端设备,或,第一设备可以为终端设备,第二设备可以为网络设备,此处不做限定。
S1510,进行预设条件判断。
示例地,第一设备会进行预设条件判断,具体判断过程可参考S710步骤,为了简洁,此处不再赘述。
S1520,确定第一比特序列与第二比特序列中的至少一个参数相等。
示例地,第一设备与第二设备均会确定第一比特序列与第二比特序列中的至少一个参数相等,其中,所述参数包括:功率,预编码和天线端口。 第一传输和第二传输占用不同的时隙或者在一个时隙内不连续,会分以两次独立的重复传输的形式进行数据传输。第一传输与第二传输的相关参数配置是相互独立的,接收端会对两次传输的数据进行独立的信道估计,再分别对两次传输的数据进行解调和译码。然而,由于数据被分为两次独立的传输,会导致当接收端对每次传输的数据进行信道估计时,采用的DMRS序列较少,造成信道估计不准确。因此,通过确定第一比特序列和第二比特序列中的至少一个参数相等,可以在接收到两个比特序列之后,统一进行联合信道估计,以此提高信道估计的准确性,从而,提升两次传输的数据解调和译码的准确性。由于,在实际实现的过程中,因为两次的数据传输是独立的,参数的不一致,依然会导致联合信道估计的失败。例如,当第二次传输的功率发生较大的变化,可能会在第二次传输过程中产生一个相对于第一次传输的随 机相位,在估计的信道中耦合了这个随机相位,由于无法消除,导致估计的信道不准确;当发送天线端口不是同一个端口,通过DMRS估计出的信道也会不一致;此外,在数据传输中,两次传输的预编码参数也应相同,有助于接收端做联合信道估计。
S1530,进行多次下行传输。
示例地,第一设备会进行多次下行重复传输。示例地,第二设备会将两次重复传输的比特序列均接收之后,再做比特序列相应的联合信道估计,完成数据解调与译码的操作。
通过确定第一比特序列与第二比特序列中的至少一个发送参数相等,可以基于两次重复传输的所有DMRS时域单元,一起做信道估计,相比于每次重复传输中利用当前重复传输的DMRS时域单元进行信道估计,可以利用更多的DMRS时域单元来提升信道估计的准确性,从而提高传输的数据解调和译码的可靠性。
