一种上报、接收CSI的方法及对应装置
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求在2020年08月26日提交中国专利局、申请号为202010872738.2、申请名称为“一种上报、接收CSI的方法及对应装置”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,尤其涉及一种上报、接收信道状态信息(Channel State Information,CSI)的方法及对应装置。
背景技术
网络设备对终端设备进行CSI上报配置或者重配置、或者服务小区激活、或者带宽部分(Band Width Part,BWP)切换、或者半持续CSI上报(Semi-Persistent CSI reporting,SP-CSI)激活等过程,一般包括如下步骤:第一步,网络设备下发配置或激活信令;第二步,终端设备正确接收信令;第三步,终端设备根据信令完成相应的配置,能够根据新的配置或激活命令正常工作。在上述三步过程中,第三步的时间对于网络设备是模糊的,因为各个终端设备处理能力不同,完成相应配置所需的时间也各不相同,甚至对于同一个终端设备在不同状态下,完成相应配置所需的时间也会不同。
由于该模糊期的存在,网络设备常常对终端设备的CSI上报状态造成误解。例如,网络设备在下发配置或激活信令一段时间后,网络设备假设终端设备已经完成了相应的配置或激活,所以在上行控制信息(Uplink Control Information,UCI)中上报CSI,但实际终端设备并未完成相应的配置,并未在UCI中上报CSI;或者,网络设备在下发配置或激活信令一段时间后,网络设备假设终端设备未完成相应的配置或激活,所以未在UCI中上报CSI,但实际终端设备已经完成了相应的配置或激活,在UCI中上报了CSI。
无论以上哪一种情况,均会导致网络设备认为的UCI的信息比特位数与实际的UCI的信息比特位数不一致,进而导致网络设备对UCI盲检出错,丢弃UCI。但实际情况中,UCI中除了CSI,还可能包含其它上行数据时,比如混合自动重传请求(Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest,HARQ)反馈,这将导致该其它上行数据也被丢弃,进而对链路性能造成极大的影响。

具体实施方式
第五代(5th generation,5G)无线接入系统标准新空口(New Radio,NR)是基于多入多出(multiple input multiple output,MIMO)技术的,为了提高下行链路性能,即由网络设备到终端设备的链路性能,可以采用闭环MIMO工作方式。
图1为一种可能的闭环MIMO系统的结构示意图。如图1所示,网络设备可以根据终端设备上报的信道状态信息(Channel State Information,CSI),确定发射数据时所使用的参数,从而能够提高频谱效率。
CSI上报(CSI reporting)可以是周期性的,也可以半持续的,也可以非周期的。
1)、周期CSI上报(Periodic CSI reporting,P-CSI):网络设备通过高层信令(如无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令)配置终端设备进行周期的CSI上报,终端设备基于周期CSI-RS资源,进行信道测量和干扰测量,并按照固定的时间间隔,在物理上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel,PUCCH)上上报CSI反馈。在周期CSI上报中,终端设备测量所使用的信道测量资源(Channel Measurement Resource,CMR)和干扰测量资源(Interference Measurement Resource,IMR)都为网络设备周期发送的,周期和资源映射等相关参数都是由RRC信令配置的,CSI上报的周期以及上报所使用的PUCCH资源等参数也是由RRC信令配置的。
2)、半持续CSI上报(Semi-Persistent CSI reporting,SP-CSI):终端设备被配置进行半持续的CSI上报时,终端设备在收到网络设备发送的第一下行信令后才开始进行CSI上报,在收到第二下行信令后结束CSI上报,在这两个下行信令下发时刻之间,终端设备进行周期性的CSI测量与上报。半持续CSI上报所使用的CMR和IMR,可以是周期的,也可以是半持续发送的。半持续CSI可以在PUCCH资源上进行上报,网络设备可以通过下行高层信令(如媒体接入控制层(Media Acess Control,MAC)的控制单元(Control Element,CE)信令)来激活和去激活半持续CSI上报;半持续CSI还可以在物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,PUSCH)资源上进行上报(即SP CSI on PUCCH),网络设备可以通过物理层下行控制信令(Downlink Control Information,DCI)来激活和去激活半持续CSI上报(即SP CSI on PUSCH)。无论是SP CSI on PUCCH还是SP CSI on PUSCH,对于终端设备所需的测量量、测量带宽等测量参数,网络设备都是通过RRC信令配置给终端设备的。
3)、非周期CSI上报(Aperiodic CSI reporting,AP-CSI):网络设备首先通过下行RRC信令半静态地为终端设备配置多个CSI reporting的配置参数,通过DCI触发其中的一个或多个CSI reporting,终端设备根据CSI reporting的配置参数进行CSI测量,并使用PUSCH上报CSI测量结果。需要注意的是:虽然非周期CSI测量与上报与半持续的CSI测量与上报一样,都需要网络设备触发,但是非周期的CSI测量与上报在DCI触发后不需要去激活,并且只进行一次测量与上报。非周期CSI上报所使用的CMR和IMR,可以是周期的或者 半持续的或者非周期发送的。
在上述三类CSI上报中,CSI上报过程中所需的配置参数,例如上报量(等级指示(Rank Indicator,RI)、信道质量指示(Channel Quality Indicator,CQI)、预编码矩阵指示(precoding matrix indicator,PMI))、上报带宽等配置参数都是网络设备通过RRC信令配置给终端设备的。
由于终端设备进行CSI测量和准备上报CSI需要一定时间,为了保证终端设备有足够的时间来计算CSI和准备上报CSI信息,NR还定义了CSI参考资源(CSI reference resource)。
CSI参考资源的时域位置是处于CSI reporting所在时隙(slot)的前若干个slot内。具体来说,一个CSI reporting使用的上行资源位置为n’上行slot,那么这个CSI reporting的参考资源的时域位置为:n-nCSI_ref;
其中,
Figure PCTCN2021092991-appb-000001
μ DL和μ UL分别表示上下行子载波间隔配置参数,例如下行子载波间隔为15kHz的话,那么μ DL=0;若为30kHz,那么μ DL=1;若为60kHz,那么μ DL=2;若为120kHz,那么μ DL=3。
n-nCSI_ref与CSI reporting类型有关。例如,对于周期或者半持续CSI reporting,若CSI reporting绑定的用于信道测量的CSI-RS资源数为1时,那么nCSI_ref为大于或等于
Figure PCTCN2021092991-appb-000002
的最小整数,使得时域位置为n-nCSI_ref的slot为有效的下行slot;而对于周期或者半持续CSI reporting,若CSI reporting绑定的用于信道测量的CSI-RS资源数大于1时,那么nCSI_ref为大于或等于
Figure PCTCN2021092991-appb-000003
的最小整数,使得n-nCSI_ref为有效的下行slot。
在频谱使用方面,NR支持载波聚合(Carrier Aggregation,CA)技术,网络设备与终端设备可以配置多个载波,在这些载波中,有一个载波被定义为主载波,网络设备可以通过MAC CE信令激活或者去激活除主载波以外的任意载波。NR还在每个载波上定义了多个带宽部分(Band Width Part,BWP),每个载波上只有一个激活的BWP,网络设备可以通过下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)变换激活的BWP,还可以通过RRC信令来切换BWP。对于CSI reporting,是按照载波来配置,即在CSI reporting配置信息中会指示该CSI reporting属于哪一个载波;而对于CSI-RS/CSI-IM资源则是按照BWP配置的。
第三代合作伙伴计划组织(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)在NR协议中规定了:在CSI上报配置或者重配置、或者服务小区激活、或者BWP改变、或者SP CSI激活后,若是在不晚于CSI参考资源的位置,终端设备至少能够接收到1次CMR传输和1次IMR传输,那么终端设备上报CSI上报,否则终端设备丢弃这次CSI上报(After the CSI report(re)configuration,serving cell activation,BWP change,or activation of SP-CSI,the UE reports a CSI report only after receiving at least one CSI-RS transmission occasion for channel measurement and CSI-RS and/or CSI-IM occasion for interference measurement no later than CSI reference resource and drops the report otherwise)。
在实际实施时,CSI上报配置或者重配置、或者服务小区激活、或者BWP改变、或者SP CSI激活等过程,包括如下步骤:第一步,网络设备下发配置或激活信令;第二步,终端设备正确接收信令;第三步,终端设备根据信令完成相应的配置,能够根据新的配置或激活命令正常工作。
在上述三步过程中,第三步的时间对于网络设备是模糊的,因为各个终端设备处理能力不同,完成相应配置所需的时间也各不相同,甚至对于同一个终端设备在不同状态下,完成相应配置所需的时间也会不同。
例如,以CSI上报重配置为例,CSI上报重配置是通过RRC信令完成的,RRC是由物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel,PDSCH)承载的,网络设备下发承载RRC的PDSCH给终端设备(即第一步),终端设备正确接收PDSCH,并反馈ACK给网络设备(即第二步),上述两个步骤的时间,无论是网络设备还是终端设备,都是明确的,可以同步的。而终端设备将PDSCH承载的RRC信令解析出来,并且根据RRC信令进行CSI上报重配置,在3GPP的协议中,这个过程却是模糊的,协议规定上述模糊期为5到10毫秒。这个模糊期会造成网络设备可能无法正确接收终端设备上报的上行控制信息(Uplink Control Information,UCI)。
如图2所示,示出了两种CSI上报重配置的场景,即场景(a)和场景(b)。
在场景(a)和场景(b)中,在终端设备完成承载CSI上报重配置的RRC信令的PDSCH接收后,到网络设备配置的用于CSI上报的上行资源之前,网络设备都发送了CMR和IMR,并且CMR和IMR是不晚于CSI参考资源的位置。不同的是:场景(a)中,终端设备更快的完成了CSI上报重配置,能够接收网络设备发送的CMR和IMR;而在场景(b)中,终端设备没有及时的完成CSI上报重配置,无法接收网络设备发送的CMR和IMR。
然而场景(a)和场景(b)这两种情况,在终端设备完成CSI上报重配置之前,对于网络设备和终端设备都是未知的。
若网络设备按照(a)的情况来假设终端设备,实际终端设备并没有及时的完成CSI上报重配置,即终端设备是按照(b)工作的,终端设备将根据协议,在UCI中丢弃了CSI上报,而由于UCI的发送并不是基于调度的,因此网络设备是通过盲检来接收UCI,网络设备盲检时,信息比特位数是重要的盲检参数。
网络设备盲检UCI的过程如下:终端设备在发送UCI时,会根据预设规则,根据有效信息比特生成校验位,并将校验位附加在UCI中,一起发送给网络设备,而网络设备在接收到UCI后,会将接收到的有效信息比特按照相同的预设规则生成校验位,与接收到的校验位进行比较,当校验位一致时,则认为正确接收到了UCI,否则丢弃接收到的UCI。
按照上述情况,若网络设备按照(a)的情况来假设终端设备,而终端设备实际是按照(b)工作的,那么网络设备将丢弃接收到的UCI,进而无法接收终端设备发送的UCI中其他信息,如果这些信息还包含非常重要的HARQ反馈,将对链路性能造成极大的影响。
同样的问题也会出现在网络设备按照(b)来假设终端设备,而终端设备实际是按照(a)工作的情况,这种情况下,UCI中会多出来网络设备预计会丢弃的CSI上报比特,同样会使得网络设备无法正确接收UCI,对链路性能造成极大的影响。
鉴于此,本申请实施例提供一种上报、接收CSI的方法及对应装置,通过对网络设备和终端设备在配置模糊期的行为同时进行约束,可以避免由于配置模糊期而引起的网络设备与终端设备对是否需要丢弃CSI理解不一致而造成的其他重要上行信息(例如HARQ反馈)的接收的问题。例如,在CSI上报配置或者重配置、或者服务小区激活、或者BWP改变、或者SP CSI激活后,无论终端设备是否能够在不晚于CSI参考资源的位置,接收到至少1次CMR传输和1次IMR传输,终端设备都在UCI中上报CSI,网络设备都在UCI中接收CSI。具体方案将在后文详细介绍。

以及,除非有相反的说明,本申请实施例提及“第一”、“第二”等序数词是用于对多个对象进行区分,不用于限定多个对象的顺序、时序、优先级或者重要程度。例如,第一优先级准则和第二优先级准则,只是为了区分不同的准则,而并不是表示这两种准则的内容、优先级或者重要程度等的不同。
此外,本申请实施例和权利要求书及附图中的术语“包括”和“具有”不是排他的。例如,包括了一系列步骤或模块的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备,不限定于已列出的步骤或模块,还可以包括没有列出的步骤或模块。
如图4所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种CSI上报方法的流程图,该方法可以应用于图3所示的通信系统。方法包括:
S401、终端设备确定CSI状态。
在本申请实施例中,对于终端设备来说,CSI状态包括以下两种:1)有效;2)无效。其中,在同一时刻,终端设备的CSI状态是唯一的,即CSI状态是有效或无效。若终端设备的CSI状态未配置,则视同无效。
当CSI状态为有效时,终端设备能够从存储单元中读取到CSI。当CSI状态为无效时,存储单元中没有CSI,终端设备无法从存储单元中读取到CSI。
其中,存储单元的具体实现可以是终端设备内部的一个寄存器(例如可以是中央处理器(Central Processing Unit,CPU)中专门用来存放CSI的小型存储区域),或者是终端设备内的专门用于无线信号处理的调制解调芯片内部的存储单元,本申请对存储单元的具体实现形式不做限制。
可选的,在本申请实施例中,终端设备在CSI测量时机到来时进行CSI测量,例如图2中白色矩形所标识的位置表示CSI测量时机;终端设备完成CSI测量后,将测量获得CSI存储在终端设备的存储单元中;等待CSI上报时机到来后,终端设备从存储单元读取CSI进行CSI上报,例如图2中黑色矩形所标识的位置表示CSI上报时机。
相应的,终端设备确定CSI状态具体包括:终端设备在到达CSI读取时机时,确定CSI状态。
进一步的,在本申请实施例中,CSI测量时机和CSI上报时机相关联,且CSI测量时机在其关联的CSI上报时机之前到达。
对于半持续CSI上报和周期CSI上报,CSI测量时机和CSI上报时机都是周期性存在的,且每个周期内存在一对关联的CSI测量时机和CSI上报时机。不同之处在于,半持续CSI上报中,终端设备在收到网络设备发送的第一下行信令后才开始进行CSI上报,在收到第二下行信令后结束CSI上报,在这两个下行信令下发时刻之间,终端设备进行周期性的CSI测量与上报;而周期CSI上报中,不需要这两个下行信令来触发或停止终端设备进行周期性的CSI测量与上报。
对于非周期CSI上报,CSI测量和CSI上报需要网络设备触发,但每次触发之后仅存在一对关联的CSI测量时机和CSI上报时机,即终端设备只进行一次测量与上报。
应理解,如果终端设备在某个CSI上报时机读取到了存储单元里的CSI并将该CSI进行了上报,则终端设备可以将存储单元中的CSI的状态更新为无效,在下一个CSI测量时机,获得新的CSI测量结果后,更新CSI测量结果并将CSI的状态更新为有效。
上述CSI状态过程也可以是根据CSI的类型进行更新。例如,对于周期CSI和半持续CSI,如果终端设备在某个CSI上报时机读取到了存储单元里的CSI并将该CSI进行了上报后,仍然保持CSI的状态为有效,对于非周期CSI,如果终端设备在某个CSI上报时机读取到了存储单元里的CSI并将该CSI进行了上报后,则终端设备可以将存储单元中的CSI的状态更新为无效,在下一个CSI测量时机,获得新的CSI测量结果后,更新CSI测量结果并将CSI的状态更新为有效。
进一步可选的,在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以在任何无法计算得到CSI的时刻,将CSI状态设置为无效,在计算得到CSI时,再将CSI状态设置为有效。
在本申请实施例中,导致终端设备无法计算得到CSI的场景有多种。
例如,终端设备在进行BWP切换配置时,由于网络设备是通过下行信息(该下行信息可以是RRC信令或者DCI)为终端设备切换BWP,所以终端设备需要将下行信息内容接收解码出来,并根据信息内容进行相应的配置,这个过程存在配置时延,直到BWP切换完成之前,终端设备都无法进行CSI测量,所以在这种场景下,即使终端设备可以确定存在CSI测量时机,但是如果该测量时机正好在配置时延内,那么终端设备也无法完成CSI测量,自然无法生成有效的CSI信息。另外,终端设备在进行BWP切换时,还存在一个切换延迟(switch delay)时间,在切换延迟时间内,终端设备的射频收发功能会被中断,无法执行任何数据收发操作,所以在这种场景下,即便终端设备可以确定存在CSI测量时机,但如果该CSI测量时机刚好位于终端设备执行BWP切换对应的切换延迟时间内(即终端设备正处于BWP切换过程中),那么终端设备也没有能力去接收来自网络设备发送的CMR、IMR,因而无法完成CSI测量,终端设备无法完成CSI测量,自然无法生成有效的CSI信息。所以,终端设备可以在收到BWP切换消息的同时或者在收到BWP切换消息后,将CSI状态设置为无效。
例如,终端设备在进行CSI上报配置时,由于网络设备是通过RRC信令为终端设备配置CSI上报参数,终端设备需要将RRC信令内容接收解码出来,并根据信令内容进行相应的配置,这个过程存在配置时延,在配置完成之前,终端设备无法进行CSI测量,所 以在这种场景下,即使终端设备可以确定存在CSI测量时机,但是如果该测量时机正好在配置时延内,那么终端设备也无法完成CSI测量,自然无法生成有效的CSI信息,所以终端设备在CSI上报时机到来时没有有效的CSI。所以,终端设备可以在收到CSI上报配置消息的同时或者在收到CSI上报配置消息之后,将CSI状态设置为无效。
例如,终端设备在进行CSI上报重配置时,由于网络设备是通过RRC信令为终端设备重配置CSI上报参数,终端设备需要将RRC信令内容接收解码出来,并根据信令内容进行相应的配置,这个过程存在配置时延,在配置完成之前,终端设备无法进行CSI测量,所以在这种场景下,即使终端设备可以确定存在CSI测量时机,但是如果该测量时机正好在配置时延内,那么终端设备也无法完成CSI测量,自然无法生成有效的CSI信息,所以终端设备在CSI上报时机到来时没有有效的CSI。所以,终端设备可以在收到CSI上报重配置消息的同时或者在收到CSI上报重配置消息之后,将CSI状态设置为无效。
例如,终端设备在进行服务小区激活时,由于网络设备是通过下行控制信令为终端设备激活服务小区,终端设备需要根据信令内容进行相应的配置,这个过程存在配置时延,在配置完成之前,终端设备无法进行CSI测量,所以在这种场景下,即使终端设备可以确定存在CSI测量时机,但是如果该测量时机正好在配置时延内,那么终端设备也无法完成CSI测量,自然无法生成有效的CSI信息,所以终端设备在CSI上报时机到来时没有有效的CSI。所以,终端设备可以在收到服务小区激活消息的同时或者在收到服务小区激活消息之后,将CSI状态设置为无效。
例如,终端设备在进行SP CSI激活时,由于网络设备是通过下行控制信令为终端设备激活SP CSI上报,终端设备需要根据信令内容进行相应的配置,这个过程存在配置时延,在配置完成之前,终端设备无法进行CSI测量,所以在这种场景下,即使终端设备可以确定存在CSI测量时机,但是如果该测量时机正好在配置时延内,那么终端设备也无法完成CSI测量,自然无法生成有效的CSI信息,所以终端设备在CSI上报时机到来时没有有效的CSI。所以,终端设备可以在收到SP CSI激活消息的同时或者在收到SP CSI激活消息之后,将CSI状态设置为无效。
当然,以上几种触发终端设备无法计算得到CSI的场景仅为举例而非限制,在实际应用中,还可能存在其它场景导致终端设备无法计算得到CSI,这里不排除其他可能性。
一种可能的设计中,对于收到的预设消息,终端设备将CSI状态设置为无效。换而言之,网络设备下发的预设消息可以触发终端设备将CSI状态设置为无效。预设消息可以是导致上述任意一种场景发生的消息,比如CSI上报配置消息、CSI重配置消息、服务小区激活消息、BWP切换消息或半持续CSI上报激活消息等。
一种具体的实现方式中,终端设备在收到预设消息的同时将CSI状态设置为无效。
另一种具体的实现方式中,终端设备在收到预设消息之后的某个时刻t将CSI状态设置为无效。但是至少保证t是在终端设备收到预设消息的时刻t1与终端设备读取CSI上报的时刻t2之间。进一步的,当收到预设消息的时刻t1与终端设备读取CSI上报的时刻t2之间存在终端设备测量得到有效CSI的时刻t3,则终端设备配置CSI状态为无效的时刻t应该在t1和t3之间,不能在t3以及t3之后。换而言之,如果终端设备在CSI读取之前能够测量到有效CSI,则需要保证设置发生在终端设备能够测量到有效CSI上报之前,如果终端设备在CSI读取之前没有测量到有效CSI,则只需保证设置发生在终端设备读取CSI时机之前。
当然,以上两种实现方式仅仅是对“对于收到的预设消息,将CSI状态设置为无效”的举例而非限定,实际还可以包括其他情形。
进一步的,终端设备无法计算得到CSI的情形包括以下几种:
1)、在CSI上报时机到达之前,不存在终端设备接收用于信道测量的CSI-RS的时机;
2)、在CSI上报时机到达之前,不存在终端设备接收用于干扰测量的CSI-RS和/或CSI-IM的时机;
3)、在CSI上报时机到达之前,既不存在终端设备接收用于信道测量的CSI-RS的时机也不存在终端设备接收用于干扰测量的CSI-RS和/或CSI-IM的时机;
4)、在CSI上报时机到达之前,存在终端设备接收用于信道测量的CSI-RS的时机和终端设备接收用于干扰测量的CSI-RS和/或CSI-IM的时机,但终端设备接收用于信道测量的CSI-RS的时机晚于CSI参考资源的时机;
5)、在CSI上报时机到达之前,存在终端设备接收用于信道测量的CSI-RS的时机和终端设备接收用于干扰测量的CSI-RS和或CSI-IM的时机,但终端设备接收用于干扰测量的CSI-RS和/或CSI-IM的时机晚于CSI参考资源的时机;
6)、在CSI上报时机到达之前,存在终端设备接收用于信道测量的CSI-RS的时机和终端设备接收用于干扰测量的CSI-RS和或CSI-IM的时机,但终端设备接收用于信道测量的CSI-RS的时机以及终端设备接收用于干扰测量的CSI-RS和/或CSI-IM的时机都晚于CSI参考资源的时机。
应理解,以上6种情形的任意一种,都属于终端设备在不晚于CSI参考资源的位置,无法接收到至少1次CMR传输和至少1次IMR传输的情形。
进一步的,若是在不晚于CSI参考资源的位置,终端设备一直无法至少接收到1次CMR传输和1次IMR传输,则可以保持CSI状态为无效不变,或者将CSI状态设置为无效;若是在不晚于CSI参考资源的位置,终端设备至少接收到1次CMR传输和1次IMR传输(即能够计算得到CSI),并且在接收CMR和IMR之前,终端设备完成了相应的配置(如BWP切换或者CSI上报配置或者CSI上报重配置或者服务小区激活或者SP CSI激活等),终端设备能够获得有效的CSI上报,则终端设备在获得有效的CSI信息后,将CSI状态变更为有效,并将测量得到的CSI上报放入存储单元中。
S402、终端设备在CSI状态为无效时,发送预设CSI。
具体的,终端设备在CSI状态为无效时,在CSI上报时机到达时发送预设CSI。示例性的,在CSI上报配置或者重配置、或者服务小区激活、或者BWP改变、或者SP CSI激活后,若是在不晚于CSI参考资源的位置,终端设备无法接收到至少1次CMR传输以及至少1次IMR传输,那么终端设备上报预设CSI。
在本申请实施例中,预设CSI可以有多种设计方式。
一种可能的设计中,该预设CSI可以为缺省(default)CSI。其中,缺省是指默认的意思。例如,预设CSI可以是默认值的序列,例如全1的比特序列,或者全0的比特序列。
另一种可能的设计中,预设CSI可以是CQI的比特位为全0,而其他比特位取值不做限定的比特序列。
当然,以上两种设计仅为示例而非限定,在实际实施时,不排除有其它设计的可能性。
可选的,该预设CSI承载在UCI中。
需要注意的是,在本申请实施例中,在UCI中,除了CSI上报比特还可能包含其它上 行数据,例如上行HARQ反馈。本申请实施例在实现时,不改变UCI中除CSI上报比特以外的其他信息位,以保证其它上行数据传输的可靠性。
可选的,预设CSI的比特位的长度与CSI配置信息所要求的比特位的长度相同。
其中预设CSI的比特位的长度的确定方式可以有多种,这里不做具体限制。
示例1,对于终端设备在接收到CSI上报配置消息后,在执行CSI上报配置的过程中,虽然会涉及CSI配置参数的配置,但是终端设备在前N次CSI上报时机到达时,可能并未完成CSI上报参数配置,所以无法确定本次CSI配置对应的CSI配置参数。在这种情况下,终端设备在前N次CSI上报时机到达时,可以通过预设的CSI配置参数确定CSI上报比特位的长度。
例如,预设的CSI配置参数包括如下配置参数:周期CSI上报、cri-RI-PMI-CQI、宽带CQI、宽带PMI。其中每个配置参数有确定的比特位长度,CSI上报比特位的长度则为所有配置参数的比特位长度之和。
应理解,这里的N是预设的,可以是任意一个正整数,具体取值本申请不做限制。
示例2,对于终端设备在接收到CSI上报重配置消息后,在执行CSI上报重配置的过程中,虽然会涉及CSI配置参数的配置,但是终端设备在前N次CSI上报时机到达时,可能并未完成CSI上报参数配置,所以无法确定本次CSI重配置对应的CSI配置参数。在这种情况下,终端设备在前N次CSI上报时机到达时,也通过预设的CSI配置参数确定CSI上报比特位的长度,或者通过原有的(即本次CSI重配置之前的)CSI配置参数确定CSI上报比特位的长度,例如上一次CSI配置或CSI重配置的CSI配置参数。
示例3,对于终端设备在接收到激活服务小区消息、或者切换BWP消息、或者激活SP CSI消息后,在执行激活服务小区、或者切换BWP、或者激活SP CSI的过程中,并不涉及CSI配置参数配置,所以,终端设备可以根据已配置的CSI配置参数来确定CSI上报比特位的长度。
这里的已配置的CSI配置参数,是指在激活服务小区、或者切换BWP、或者激活SP CSI之前,终端设备已配置的CSI配置参数,例如最近一次CSI配置或CSI重配置的CSI配置参数。
当然,以上几种确定CSI上报比特位的长度的方式仅为举例而非限制,在实际应用中,还可能存在其它确定CSI上报比特位的长度的方式,这里不排除其他可能性。
S403、网络设备接收预设CSI。
在本申请实施例中,网络设备的行为与终端设备的行为对应。例如,网络设备具体可以是在CSI上报时机达到时,接收该预设CSI。
进一步的,网络设备可以接收UCI,并在UCI中接收该预设CSI。
进一步的,网络设备在接收CSI时确定CSI上报比特位的长度的方式和终端设备在上报CSI时确定CSI上报比特位的长度的方式保持一致。
在本申请实施例中,在每一次CSI上报时机到来后,网络设备都会接收CSI,如果该CSI是终端设备是在CSI状态无效时上报的CSI,则该CSI是预设CSI,网络设备可以丢弃该CSI;如果该CSI是终端设备是在CSI状态有效时上报的CSI,则该CSI是有效CSI,网络设备不会丢弃该CSI。
应理解,对于网络设备来说,并不知道每一次CSI上报的CSI是有效CSI还是预设CSI,网络设备只是认为每一次CSI上报时机终端设备都上报了CSI。
例如,网络设备每一次在接收到UCI后,都会假设该UCI中存在CSI上报比特,然后按照预设规则生成校验位,与UCI中接收到的校验位进行比较,当校验位一致时,则认为正确接收到了UCI,进一步读取该UCI中的CSI上报比特,发现该UCI中CSI上报比特上是全1的比特序列,或者全0的比特序列,进而确定该CSI是终端设备在CSI状态为无效时上报的预设CSI,因此可以丢弃该CSI。
通过上述可知,本申请实施例中的终端设备通过对CSI状态进行设置,在配置模糊期到来时将CSI状态设置为无效,且在CSI状态无效时上报预设CSI,而网络设备接收该预设CSI,使得网络设备和终端设备在配置模糊期对是否需要丢弃CSI的理解达成一致(即不丢弃CSI,且终端设备上报预设CSI),可以避免现有技术中网络设备和终端设备在配置模糊期对是否需要丢弃CSI理解不一致所导致其他重要上行信息(例如HARQ反馈)丢失的问题,可以提高上行链路传输的性能。
以上图4所描述的实施例是从终端设备内部实现的角度来描述的,即终端设备基于是否能够从存储单元读取到CSI来确定CSI状态,进而确定在CSI上报时机到达时是上报预设CSI还是有效CSI。另外,本申请实施例还可以外部实现的角度来描述。
参见图5,为本申请实施例提供的另一种CSI上报方法的流程图,该方法可以应用于图3所示的通信系统。方法包括:
S501、网络设备发送预设消息,终端设备接收预设消息。
可选的,预设消息为下列消息之中的一种:CSI上报配置消息;CSI重配置消息;服务小区激活消息;BWP切换消息;版持续CSI上报激活消息。关于上述各种消息的具体实现,可以参考图4所示实施例中的相关描述,这里不再赘述。
S502、终端设备在该预设消息导致无法在CSI上报时机到达之前获得有效CSI时,在CSI上报时机到达时,发送预设CSI。
具体的,终端设备在该预设消息导致无法在CSI上报时机到达之前获得有效CSI是指,从终端设备收到预设消息开始,到终端完成预设消息对应配置或激活之前,终端设备无法进行CSI测量,因而无法在CSI上报时机到达之前生成有效的CSI信息。关于预设消息对应配置或激活场景、预设CSI的具体实现等,可以参考图4所示实施例中的相关描述,这里不再赘述。
S503、网络设备接收该预设CSI。
关于网络设备接收预设CSI的具体实现,可以参考图4所示实施例中的相关描述,这里不再赘述。
通过上述可知,本申请实施例中的终端设备在收到网络设备的预设消息,且在该预设消息导致无法在CSI上报时机到达之前获得有效CSI时,在CSI上报时机到达时,发送预设CSI,而网络设备接收该预设CSI,使得网络设备和终端设备在配置模糊期对是否需要丢弃CSI的理解达成一致(即不丢弃CSI,且上报预设CSI),可以避免现有技术中网络设备和终端设备在配置模糊期对是否需要丢弃CSI理解不一致所导致其他重要上行信息(例如HARQ反馈)丢失的问题,可以提高上行链路传输的性能。
在以上图4和图5所示实施例中,终端设备在CSI状态无效时(或者说终端设备接收到预设消息且该预设消息导致无法在CSI上报时机到达之前获得有效CSI时),只要CSI上报时机到来,就可以上报预设CSI,这样可以很好地保证除了CSI以外的其他上行信息能够准确的被网络设备接收。
可替换的,在本申请实施例中,预设CSI也可以是随路发送的。换而言之,终端设备在CSI状态无效时(或者说终端设备接收到预设消息且该预设消息导致无法在CSI上报时机到达之前获得有效CSI时),在CSI上报时机到来时,只有在该CSI上报时机存在其它上行数据需要上报时,才上报预设CSI,且该预设CSI是承载在该其它上行数据所在的信道上发送;相反,如果在该CSI上报时机不存在其它上行数据的上报需求,则可以不上报预设CSI。
其中,预设CSI随路的方式可以有多种,以下例举其中几种可能的实现方式。
示例1,终端设备在发送HARQ反馈时随路发送预设CSI。
具体的,HARQ反馈是终端设备通过PUCCH发送给网络设备,用于通知网络设备是否正确接收网络设备发送的PDSCH,CSI上报可以与HARQ反馈放在同一个UCI中在PUCCH上由终端设备发送给网络设备。
所以,终端设备在CSI状态无效时(或者说终端设备接收到预设消息且该预设消息导致无法在CSI上报时机到达之前获得有效CSI时),当CSI上报时机到来时,如果存在HARQ反馈需求,则在用于承载HARQ反馈的UCI中携带预设CSI。
示例2,终端设备在发送上行业务数据时随路发送预设CSI。
NR规定当在同一个时隙内同时存在PUCCH和PUSCH时,PUCCH可以被装载到PUSCH上发送。由于CSI是在PUCCH(中的UCI)上发送,所以当PUCCH被装载到PUSCH上发送时,CSI上报也会随之装载到PUSCH的资源上与其他上行数据一起发送给网络设备。
所以,终端设备在CSI状态无效时(或者说终端设备接收到预设消息且该预设消息导致无法在CSI上报时机到达之前获得有效CSI时),当CSI上报时机到来时,如果存在发送上行业务数据的需求,则在用于承载上行业务数据的PUSCH中携带预设CSI。
示例3,终端设备在上报其他CSI时随路发送预设CSI。
在CA下,网络设备可以通过多个载波成分(Carrier Component,CC)与终端设备通信,但并不是每个CC上都有上行链路的。例如,网络设备给终端设备配置了2个CC,CC1是主CC,上面既配置上行频带,也配置了下行频带,而CC2是辅CC,上面只配置了下行频带,这时候,CC2对应的CSI反馈需要在CC1的上行频段通过PUCCH发送给网络设备。当CC1是正常的,而CC2出现了CSI上报配置或者重配置、或者服务小区激活、或者BWP改变、或者SP CSI激活,这时候CC1对应的CSI上报是正常的,网络设备和终端设备之间不存在模糊性的问题,而只有终端设备在上报CC2对应的CSI上报存在模糊性的问题。所以可能会出现,终端设备在同一个UCI中上报的多个CSI上报,而只有某些CSI上报存在模糊性问题,其他CSI上报不存在。
通过这样的随路设计,在CSI上报配置或者重配置、或者服务小区激活、或者BWP改变、或者SP CSI激活后,如果存在除了CSI以外的其他信息上报需求,则可以保证除了CSI以外的其他上行信息能够准确的被网络设备接收,如果没有其他上行信息时,则又能够降低终端设备和网络设备的复杂度,节省系统开销。
应理解,本文中的各实施例可以相互结合以实现不同的技术效果。
