Description
本申请涉及无线通信技术领域,特别涉及一种通信方法及装置。
新无线(new radio,NR)中,终端上报通过物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)向网络设备反馈上行控制信息(uplink control information,UCI)。其中PUCCH资源是网络设备配置的。PUCCH资源分为公共PUCCH资源和专用PUCCH资源,其中公共PUCCH资源是在网络设备没有配置专用PUCCH资源之前,供小区中所有终端设备共同使用的PUCCH资源。专用PUCCH资源是终端设备进入无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接态之后,网络设备给终端设备配置的专属的PUCCH资源。
目前NR系统中,PUCCH支持跳频(frequency hopping)传输,公共PUCCH资源的跳频位置与终端设备的初始上行带宽部分(bandwidth part,BWP)绑定,位于初始上行BWP两端。由于初始上行BWP最大可配置为100MHz,因此对于现有带宽100MHz的终端设备,两次跳频传输可以在100MHz带宽的频域资源上进行。
在NR系统中引入了低能力(Reduced Capability,REDCAP)终端设备,REDCAP终端设备支持的带宽小于100MHz,一般为20MHz。如果沿用现有标准,REDCAP终端设备在100MHz带宽内进行PUCCH的跳频传输,会导致传输性能下降。
综上,当终端设备支持的带宽小于100MHz时,如何为终端设备分配PUCCH资源,是一个亟待解决的问题。

下面将结合附图对本申请实施例作进一步地详细描述。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如: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)、NR系统等,在此不做限制。
本申请实施例中,终端设备,可以为具有无线收发功能的设备或可设置于任一设备中的芯片,也可以称为用户设备(user equipment,UE)、接入终端、用户单元、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。本申请实施例中的终端设备可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(Pad)、虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)终端、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)终端、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程医疗(remote medical)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端等。
网络设备,主要负责为终端设备提供无线连接,保证终端设备的上下行数据的可靠传输等。网络设备可以是NR系统中的下一代基站(next Generation node B,gNB),可以是LTE系统中的演进型节点(evolutional node B,eNB)等。网络设备为gNB时,可以由集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)和分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)构成。
举例来说,本申请实施例提供的方法可以应用于图1所示的通信系统中,其中,网络设备和3个终端设备(分别用UE1~UE3表示)组成一个单小区通信系统,UE1~UE3可以分别或同时发送上行数据给网络设备,网络设备可以分别或同时发送下行数据给UE1~UE3。应理解,图1仅是一种示例性说明,并不对通信系统中包括的终端设备、网络设备的数量、网络设备覆盖的小区数量进行具体限定。
本申请实施例中涉及的终端设备,是用户侧的一种用于接收或发射信号的实体。终端设备可以是一种向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备,例如,具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、车载设备等。终端设备也可以是连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备。终端设备可以与无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)进行通信。终端设备也可以称为无线终端、订户单元(subscriber unit)、订户站(subscriber station),移动站(mobile station)、移动台(mobile)、远程站(remote station)、接入点(access point)、远程终端(remote terminal)、接入终端(access terminal)、用户终端(user terminal)、用户代理(user agent)、用户设备(user device)、或用户设备(user equipment,UE)等等。常见的终端设备例如包括:手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、掌上电脑、移动互联网设备(mobile internet device,MID)、可穿戴设备,例如智能手表、智能手环、计步器等,但本申请实施例不限于此。
本申请中的终端设备可以为第一类型终端设备或第二类型终端设备,第一类型终端设备和第二类型终端设备可以具备下述至少一项区别特征:
1、带宽能力不同。带宽能力可以用载波带宽表示。例如,第一类型终端设备支持的 最大带宽较小,例如为50MHz、40MHz、20MHz、15MHz、10MHz或者5MHz中的至少一种;第二类型终端设备的支持的最大带宽较大,例如为100MHz。
2、收发天线数不同。例如,第一类型终端设备可以支持2收1发(2个接收天线和1个发送天线),或者1收1发(1个接收天线和1个发送天线)。第二类型终端设备可以支持4收2发(4个接收天线和2个发送天线)。可以理解的是,在实现相同的数据传输速率的条件下,由于第一类型终端设备的收发天线个数少于第二类型终端设备的收发天线个数,因此第一类型终端设备与基站之间的数据传输所能实现的最大覆盖范围小于第二类型终端设备与基站之间的数据传输所能实现的最大覆盖范围。
3、上行最大发射功率不同。例如,第一类型终端设备的上行最大发射功率可以为4分贝毫瓦(dBm)~20dBm中的一个值。第二类型终端设备的上行最大发射功率可以为23dBm或者26dBm。
4、协议版本不同。第一类型终端设备可以是NR版本17(release-17,Rel-17)或者NR Rel-17以后版本中的终端设备。第二类型终端设备例如可以是NR版本15(release-15,Rel-15)或NR版本16(release-16,Rel-16)中的终端设备。第二类型终端设备也可以称为NR传统(NR legacy)终端设备。
5、载波聚合能力不同。例如,第一类型终端设备不支持载波聚合,第二类型终端设备可以支持载波聚合。又例如,第一类型终端设备和第二类型终端设备都可以支持载波聚合,但是第一类型终端设备同时支持的载波聚合的最大个数小于第二类型终端设备同时支持的载波聚合的最大个数,例如第一类型终端设备最多同时支持2个载波的聚合,第二类型终端设备可以最多同时支持5个载波或者32个载波的聚合。
6、双工能力不同。例如,第一类型终端设备支持半双工频分双工(frequency division duplexing,FDD)。第二类型终端设备支持全双工FDD。
7、数据的处理时间能力不同。例如,第一类型终端设备接收下行数据与发送对该下行数据的反馈之间的最小时延大于第二类型终端设备接收下行数据与发送对该下行数据的反馈之间的最小时延;和/或,第一类型终端设备发送上行数据与接收对该上行数据的反馈之间的最小时延大于第二类型终端设备发送上行数据与接收对该上行数据的反馈之间的最小时延。
8、处理能力(ability/capability)不同。例如,第一类型终端设备的基带处理能力低于第二类型终端设备的基带处理能力。其中,基带处理能力可以包括以下至少一项:终端设备进行数据传输时支持的最大多输入多输出(multiple input multiple output,MIMO)层数,终端设备支持的混合自动重传请求(hybrid automatic repeat request,HARQ)进程数目,终端设备支持的最大传输块大小(transmission block size,TBS)。
9、上行和/或下行的传输峰值速率不同。传输峰值速率是指终端设备在单位时间内(例如每秒)能够达到的最大数据传输速率。第一类型终端设备支持的上行峰值速率可以低于第二类型终端设备支持的上行峰值速率,和/或第一类型终端设备支持的下行峰值速率可以低于第二类型终端设备支持的下行峰值速率。例如,第一类型终端设备的上行峰值速率小于或等于50Mbps,下行峰值速率小于或等于150Mbps,第二类型终端设备的上行峰值速率大于或等于50Mbps,下行峰值速率大于或等于150Mbps。又例如,第一类型终端设备的上行峰值速率或下行为百Mbps量级,第二类型终端设备的上行峰值速率或下行峰值速率为Gbps量级。
10、缓存(buffer)大小不同。buffer可以理解为层2(Layer 2,L2)缓存总大小,表示终端设备对于所有无线承载,在无线链接控制(radio link control,RLC)发送窗和接收以及重排序窗中缓存的字节数与在数据包汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)重排序窗中缓存的字节数之和。或者,buffer也可以理解为HARQ处理所能使用的软信道比特总数。
以上只是示例,第一类型终端设备和第二类型终端设备还可能存在其他区别,在此不再逐一举例说明。
可选的,在本申请实施例中,第一类型终端设备可以是NR系统中的REDCAP终端设备,或者,第一类型终端设备还可以称为低能力终端设备、降低能力终端设备、REDCAP UE、Reduced Capacity UE、mMTC UE等。第二类型终端设备可以是传统能力或正常能力或高能力的终端设备,也可以称为传统(legacy)终端设备或者常规(normal)终端设备,第二类型终端设备与第一类型终端设备具有上述区别特征。
本申请涉及到PUCCH资源分配,目前在NR系统中,PUCCH资源分为公共PUCCH资源和专用PUCCH资源,其中公共PUCCH资源是在网络设备没有为终端设备配置专用PUCCH资源之前,供小区中所有用户共同使用的PUCCH资源。专用PUCCH资源是终端设备进行RRC连接态之后,网络设备给终端设备配置的专属的PUCCH资源。
目前,网络设备可以通过系统信息块(system information block,SIB)1或者RRC信令为终端设备配置公共PUCCH资源集合,公共PUCCH资源集合中包括16个PUCCH资源,一个终端设备使用一个PUCCH资源反馈UCI信息。网络设备可以通过指示公共PUCCH资源集合的索引(index),配置公共PUCCH资源集合,例如目前协议预定义了公共PUCCH资源集合和索引的关系,具体可以参考表1所示。
表1
其中,
为包括公共PUCCH资源集合的初始上行BWP的大小,即包括的物理资源块(physical resource block,PRB)数量。符号可以是指正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,OFDM)符号等。
公共PUCCH资源集合或者专用PUCCH资源集合包括的PUCCH资源位于在BWP的两侧,并支持跳频(frequency hopping)传输,跳频传输是指将PUCCH在不同时刻通过不同的非连续频域资源上进行传输,以对抗无线信道的频率选择性衰落,获得频率分集增益,改善PUCCH传输性能。具体可以如图2所示,图2中,公共PUCCH资源集合包括的PUCCH资源分布于初始上行BWP的两侧,专用PUCCH资源集合包括的PUCCH资源也分布于专用上行BWP的两侧。终端设备在公共PUCCH资源集合中发送PUCCH时,可以在初始上行BWP的两侧分别确定一个PUCCH资源,并分别通过在两侧的PUCCH资源发送PUCCH。
需要说明的是,网络设备配置的PUCCH资源集合包括多个PUCCH资源,终端设备可以通过以下方式从PUCCH资源集合中确定传输PUCCH的PUCCH资源所在的PRB位置:
其中,N
CCE是接收物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)的控制资源集合(control resource set,CORESET)所包含的控制信道元素(control channel element,CCE)总数,n
CCE,0是接收的PDCCH的第一个CCE索引,Δ
PRI是PDCCH承载的下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)中的PUCCH资源指示域指示的值。该PDCCH用于调度物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH),终端设备需要通过PUCCH传输PDSCH的混合自动重传请求确认(hybrid automatic retransmission quest-acknowledgement,HARQ-ACK)或HARQ-混合自动重传请求否定应答(hybrid automatic retransmission quest-negative acknowledgement,HARQ-NACK)等反馈信息。
进一步的,PUCCH占用的符号可以如图3所示。图3中的(a),表示PUCCH资源集合的索引为0至2时,PUCCH占用的符号示意图。在该情况下,第一次跳频传输时,PUCCH占用一个时隙的倒数第二个符号;第二次跳频传输时,PUCCH占用一个时隙的倒数第一个符号。
图3中的(b),表示PUCCH资源集合的索引为3至6时,PUCCH占用的符号示意图。在该情况下,第一次跳频传输时,PUCCH占用一个时隙的倒数第三个符号和第四个符号;第二次跳频传输时,PUCCH占用一个时隙最后两个符号。
图3中的(c),表示PUCCH资源集合的索引为7至10时,PUCCH占用的符号示意图。在该情况下,第一次跳频传输时,PUCCH占用一个时隙的第五至九个符号;第二次跳频传输时,PUCCH占用一个时隙最后五个符号。
图3中的(d),表示PUCCH资源集合的索引为11至15时,PUCCH占用的符号示意图。在该情况下,第一次跳频传输时,PUCCH占用一个时隙的第一至七个符号;第二次跳频传输时,PUCCH占用一个时隙最后七个符号。
上面描述的PUCCH资源集合,以及传输PUCCH时,PUCCH占用的PRB以及符号的位置,都适用于初始上行BWP和专用上行BWP的带宽最大可配置为100MHz的情况。当终端设备为第一类型终端设备时,支持的最大带宽小于100MHz,此时如果还按照上面的方式传输PUCCH,会导致跳频传输PUCCH时,跳频范围超过终端设备支持的最大带宽,导致传输PUCCH出现问题。为此,本申请提供一种PUCCH资源集合的配置方法,以解决上述问题,下面将详细描述。
本申请实施例描述的网络架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请实施例的技术方案,并不构成对于本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题,同样适用。
本申请实施例中,以终端设备和网络设备之间的交互为例进行说明,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以适用于其他执行主体之间的交互,例如可以是终端设备芯片或模块,与网络设备中的芯片或模块之间的交互,当执行主体为芯片或模块时,可以参考本申请实施例中的描述,在此不再赘述。
结合前面的描述,如图4所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种资源配置方法流程示意图。参见图4,该方法包括:
S401:网络设备确定第一PUCCH资源集合。
网络设备具体如何确定第一PUCCH资源集合,本申请实施例对此并不限定,在此不再赘述。
S402:网络设备向终端设备发送第一指示信息,第一指示信息指示第一PUCCH资源集合。
网络设备可以通过SIB1或RRC信令发送第一指示信息,也可以通过其他方式发送第一指示信息,在此不再逐一举例说明。
S403:终端设备接收来自网络设备的第一指示信息。
S404:终端设备根据第一指示信息,确定第一PUCCH资源集合。
其中,第一PUCCH资源集合与第二PUCCH资源集合相同,或者第一PUCCH资源集合与第二PUCCH资源集合不同,或者第一PUCCH资源集合与第二PUCCH资源集合部分相同。
本申请实施例中,第一PUCCH资源集合包括至少一个PUCCH资源,第一PUCCH资源集合是为第一类型终端设备配置的;第二PUCCH资源集合包括至少一个PUCCH资源,第二PUCCH资源集合是为第二类型终端设备配置的;第一类型终端设备支持的最大带宽小于第二类型终端设备支持的最大带宽。本申请中,终端设备可以为第一类型终端设备,也可以为第二类型终端设备。
第一PUCCH资源集合与第二PUCCH资源集合可以为公共PUCCH资源集合,也可 以为专用PUCCH资源集合,以下均以公共PUCCH资源集合为例进行说明。
前面描述了网络设备如何为终端设备配置第一PUCCH资源集合,由于第一PUCCH资源集合中包括至少一个PUCCH资源,终端设备在传输PUCCH之前,还需要根据网络设备的指示从第一PUCCH资源集合中确定PUCCH资源。
具体的,网络设备还可以向终端设备发送第二指示信息,第二指示信息用于终端设备确定第一PUCCH资源集合中的一个PUCCH资源。第二指示信息可以通过DCI携带,也可以通过其他信令携带,本申请并不限定。
相应的,终端设备可以在第二指示信息指示的PUCCH资源上传输PUCCH,其中PUCCH中可以承载上行控制信息。其中上行控制信息包括但不限于PDSCH的HARQ-ACK、HARQ-NACK、信道状态信息(channel state information,CSI)、调度请求(scheduling request,SR)等信息。
实现方式一:第一PUCCH资源集合与第二PUCCH资源集合相同。
在该实现方式中,第一PUCCH资源集合的时域资源与第二PUCCH资源集合的时域资源相同,第一PUCCH资源集合的频域资源与第二PUCCH资源集合的频域资源相同,第一PUCCH资源集合的码域资源与第二PUCCH资源集合的码域资源相同。其中,所述PUCCH资源集合的码域资源是指传输PUCCH的正交序列资源。在本申请中,所述第一PUCCH资源集合或者第二PUCCH资源集合的时域资源、频域资源或者码域资源是指第一PUCCH资源集合或者第二PUCCH资源集合中所包含的所有PUCCH资源所占用的时域资源、频域资源或者码域资源的集合。在该实现方式中,第一PUCCH资源集合与第二PUCCH资源集合在频域和时域上的位置重合,具体可以参考图5所示。需要说明的是,在频域上重合代表的是第一PUCCH资源集合中的所有PUCCH资源的频域上的总和与第二PUCCH资源集合中的所有PUCCH资源的频域上的总和相同,不代表单个PUCCH资源的频域必须相同。
在该实现方式中,第一指示信息可以同时指示第一PUCCH资源集合和第二PUCCH资源集合。即由于第一PUCCH资源集合与第二PUCCH资源集合相同,网络设备通过一条信令可以同时为第一类型终端设备和第二类型终端设备配置相同的PUCCH资源集合,提高了资源利用效率。
在该实现方式中,第一指示信息可以包括第一PUCCH资源集合的索引,例如可以为表1中第一列所示的索引。通过该索引,可以指示第一PUCCH资源集合中的PUCCH资源的PUCCH格式、起始符号、包括的符号数、物理资源块偏移
初始循环间隔集合N
CS以及第一PUCCH资源集合所处的第一初始上行带宽部分的大小
等参数。
第一指示信息也可以不包括索引,而是包括上面描述的至少一项参数。
在该实现方式中,网络设备可以通过第二指示信息指示终端设备发送PUCCH的PUCCH资源。在一种具体的实施方式中,第二指示信息可以通过DCI承载发送。
具体的,DCI中的PUCCH资源指示域可以携带参数Δ
PRI的取值,终端设备从而可以根据Δ
PRI确定r
PUCCH,具体可以参考前面的描述,在此不再赘述。
进一步的,终端设备可以通过以下方式从第一PUCCH资源集合中确定传输PUCCH的PUCCH资源所在的PRB位置:
在该实现方式中,如果终端设备为第一类型终端设备,在第一PUCCH资源集合当前所处的初始上行BWP的带宽,或者在第一PUCCH资源集合相邻两次跳频传输的频域范围,大于终端设备支持的最大带宽时,终端设备在两次跳频传输之间需要进行射频重调,在射频重调时,终端设备无法正常进行上行控制信息的发送过程,因此第一PUCCH资源集合所在的时域资源中的X个符号不用于传输PUCCH,其中X为正整数,X小于Y,Y为第一PUCCH资源集合占用的符号的个数。X的取值可以和终端设备的能力相关。
需要说明的是,由于射频重调导致不能进行PUCCH传输的时长,也可以称为间隔(gap)或者射频重调时长等,即射频重调时长包括X个符号。相邻两次跳频传输的频域范围,是指第一PUCCH资源集合的最低资源的索引到最高资源的索引的频域范围。
可选的,本申请实施例中,可以通过多种方式确定射频重调的起始位置。一种可能的实现方式中,射频重调的起始位置可以位于第二次跳频传输的起始位置。
另一种可能的实现方式中,第一PUCCH资源集合的索引为0至6时,或者第一PUCCH资源集合占用的符号数小于或等于第一阈值时,射频重调的起始位置可以位于第二次跳频传输的起始位置。第一PUCCH资源集合的索引为7至15时,或者第一PUCCH资源集合占用的符号数大于第一阈值时,射频重调的起始位置可以位于第一次跳频传输的倒数第H个符号的起始位置,H为大于0的整数。第一阈值可以根据实际情况确定,例如第一阈值可以等于4。
举例来说,如图6所示,图6中以X=4,H=2为例。一个符号包括14个符号,分别为符号0至符号13。当第一PUCCH资源集合的索引为0至2时,第一次跳频传输占用一个时隙的倒数第二个符号,第二次跳频传输占用一个时隙的最后一个符号,射频重调的起始位置为该时隙的最后一个符号的起始位置,由于第二次跳频传输占用的符号全部位于射频重调时长内,因此仅进行第一次跳频传输,不进行第二次跳频传输;第一PUCCH资源集合的索引为3至6时,第二次跳频传输占用一个时隙的最后两个符号,射频重调的起始位置为该时隙的倒数第二个符号的起始位置,由于第二次跳频传输占用的符号全部位于射频重调时长内,因此仅进行第一次跳频传输,不进行第二次跳频传输。
第一PUCCH资源集合的索引为7至10时,第一次跳频传输占用一个时隙的符号4至符号8,第二次跳频传输占用一个时隙的符号9至符号13,射频重调的起始位置为该时隙的第7个符号(符号6)的起始位置,由于第一次跳频传输占用的最后的2个符号,以及第二次跳频传输占用的最前的2个符号全部位于射频重调时长内,因此第一次跳频传输实际占用符号4至符号5,第二次跳频传输实际占用符号12至符号13;第一PUCCH资源集合的索引为11至15时,第一次跳频传输占用一个时隙的符号0至符号6,第二次跳频传输占用一个时隙的符号7至符号13,射频重调的起始位置为该时隙的第5个符号(符号4)的起始位置,因此第一次跳频传输实际占用符号0至符号4,第二次跳频传输实际占用符号9至符号13。
可选地,由于射频重调会导致PUCCH一部分资源不能进行传输,进而导致PUCCH 传输性能下降,为了进行PUCCH性能增强,可在多个时隙上重复传输PUCCH,不同的时隙上重复传输的PUCCH进行跳频,以获得频率分集增益。在一种实施方法中,在第一PUCCH资源集合或者第二PUCCH资源集合的预配置信息中预定义所包含的PUCCH资源是否进行重复传输和/或重复传输的次数,终端根据基站发送的第一指示信息确定是否进行PUCCH重复传输和/或PUCCH重复传输的次数。在另一种实施方法中,基站通过DCI动态指示终端是否进行PUCCH重复传输和/或PUCCH重复传输的次数,所述DCI可以与指示PUCCH资源的DCI是同一条DCI,即通过DCI在指示PUCCH资源的同时指示PUCCH重复传输信息。
在实施方式一中,网络设备为第一类型终端设备和第二类型终端配置相同的PUCCH资源集合,使得两种类型终端设备可以复用相同的PUCCH资源集合,达到节省网络或者小区中PUCCH资源开销的目的,提高了网络或者小区中的资源利用率。同时对于第一类型终端设备,当PUCCH资源跳频的范围超过终端最大带宽需进行射频重调时,通过定义射频重调的起始时间或者时域位置,尽可能的保证第一类型终端传输PUCCH的性能,并尽可能的减小对第二类终端传输PUCCH的影响。
实现方式二:第一PUCCH资源集合与第二PUCCH资源集合不相同。
第一种场景,如图7所示,网络设备可以为第一类型终端设备配置第一初始上行BWP,并为第二类型终端设备配置第二初始上行BWP。第一初始上行BWP可以位于第二初始上行BWP的频域范围内,也可以不位于第二初始上行BWP的频域范围内,本申请并不限定。
第一PUCCH资源集合位于第一初始上行BWP的频域范围内,相应的,第二PUCCH资源集合位于第二初始上行BWP的频域范围内。
在该场景中,第一初始上行BWP的带宽可以小于或等于第一类型终端设备支持的最大带宽。通过这种方法,可以使得终端设备在第一PUCCH资源集合中进行PUCCH传输时,相邻两次跳频传输的频域范围,小于或等于终端设备支持的最大带宽,避免PUCCH传输的性能损失。
需要说明的是,在该场景中,第一指示信息的具体实现方式,可以参考前面实现方式一中的描述,在此不再赘述。终端设备具体如何确定第一PUCCH资源集合,以及在第一PUCCH资源集合中确定传输的PUCCH资源以及每一次跳频传输的PRB的起始位置,也可以参考前面实现方式一中的描述,在此不再赘述。
第二种场景,如图8所示,网络设备可以为第二类型终端设备配置第二初始上行BWP。第一PUCCH资源集合以及第二PUCCH资源集合均位于第二初始上行BWP的频域范围内。
需要说明的是,该场景中,第一指示信息中,除了可以包括第一PUCCH资源集合的索引,第一PUCCH资源集合中的PUCCH资源的PUCCH格式、起始符号、包括的符号数、物理资源块偏移
初始循环间隔集合N
CS以及第一初始上行带宽部分的大小
等参数中的至少一项之外,还可以包括以下至少一项:
进一步地,在一种实施方式中,网络设备可以通过第二指示信息指示终端设备使用第一PUCCH资源集合中的一个PUCCH资源进行PUCCH传输。在一种具体的实施方式中,第二指示信息可以通过DCI承载发送。具体的,DCI中的PUCCH资源指示域可以携带参数Δ
PRI的取值,终端设备从而可以根据Δ
PRI确定r
PUCCH,具体可以参考前面的描述,在此 不再赘述。
结合上面的描述,在该场景中,终端设备可以通过以下方式确定所传输的PUCCH资源所在的PRB位置:
在该实现方式中,第一PUCCH资源集合的频域范围可以小于或等于第一类型终端设备支持的最大带宽。如果第一PUCCH资源集合的频域范围大于第一类型终端设备支持的最大带宽,终端设备在第一PUCCH资源集合中进行两次跳频传输之间需要进行射频重调,具体内容可以参考实现方式一中的描述,在此不再赘述。
在该实现方式中,第一PUCCH资源集合的频域资源与第二PUCCH资源集合的频域资源不重叠。可选的,第一PUCCH资源集合的频域资源与第二PUCCH资源集合的频域资源存在部分连续。
举例来说,如图9所示,第一PUCCH资源集合的频域资源包括第一频域资源和第二频域资源,第二PUCCH资源集合的频域资源包括第三频域资源和第四频域资源。第一频域资源的位置索引小于第二频域资源的位置索引,第三频域资源的位置索引小于第四频域资源的位置索引。如图9中的(a)所示,第一频域资源与第三频域资源连续。或者如图9中的(b)所示,第二频域资源与第四频域资源连续。
可选的,在该实现方式中,终端设备的射频链路的中心频点为根据所确定使用的第一PUCCH资源集合中的某一个PUCCH资源确定的。例如,终端设备在确定使用第一PUCCH资源集合中某一PUCCH资源进行传输时,终端的射频链路的中心频点可以调整或者设置为所述PUCCH资源的频域资源的中心频率。需要说明的是,不仅在传输PUCCH过程中,终端设备的射频链路的中心频点设置为所进行传输的PUCCH资源的频域范围的中心频率,在整个随机接入过程的上行传输过程中,包括物理随机接入信道(physical random access channel,PRACH),消息3等,终端设备的射频链路的中心频点也可以设置为所要发送信道的频域资源的中心频率。
需说明的是,射频链路可以包括射频接收通道和射频发射通道。射频接收通道可通过天线接收射频信号,对该射频信号进行处理(如放大、滤波和下变频)以得到基带信号,并传递给基带芯片。射频发射通道可接收来自基带芯片的基带信号,对基带信号进行射频处理(如上变频、放大和滤波)以得到射频信号,并最终通过天线将该射频信号辐射到空间中。具体地,射频链路可包括天线开关,天线调谐器,低噪声放大器(low noise amplifier,LNA),功率放大器(power amplifier,PA),混频器(mixer),本地振荡器(local oscillator,LO)、滤波器(filter)等电子器件,这些器件可以根据需要集成到一个或多个芯片中。天线有时也可以认为是射频链路的一部分。
在实施方式二中,网络设备为第一类型终端设备和第二类型终端配置不同的PUCCH资源集合,扩充了PUCCH资源容量,以支持更多的用户接入到网络设备中。同时对于第一类型终端设备配置不同的PUCCH资源集合,可以保证第一类型终端设备在传输PUCCH时,跳频传输的频域范围不超过其支持的最大带宽,进而保证第一类型终端传输PUCCH 的性能不下降,并尽可能的减小对第二类终端传输PUCCH的影响。同时,优先地,通过配置或者预定义第一PUCCH资源集合与第二PUCCH资源集合的部分频域资源连续,有效地减少或者降低PUCCH资源造成的网络或者小区资源碎片化,提高了网络资源利用率。
实现方式三:第一PUCCH资源集合与第二PUCCH资源集合部分相同。
该实现方式存在至少两种情况,第一种情况,第一PUCCH资源集合的频域资源包括第一频域资源和第二频域资源,第二PUCCH资源集合的频域资源包括第三频域资源和第四频域资源。
如图10所示,第一PUCCH资源集合与第二PUCCH资源集合部分相同,可以是指第一PUCCH资源集合的第一频域资源与第二PUCCH资源集合的第三频域资源相同,第一PUCCH资源集合的第二频域资源与第二PUCCH资源集合的第四频域资源不同,对应图10中的(a);或者第一PUCCH资源集合与第二PUCCH资源集合部分相同,可以是指第一PUCCH资源集合的第一频域资源与第二PUCCH资源集合的第三频域资源不同,第一PUCCH资源集合的第二频域资源与第二PUCCH资源集合的第四频域资源相同,对应图10中的(b)。
在该情况中,第一PUCCH资源集合与第二PUCCH资源集合可以位于相同的初始上行BWP的频域范围内,例如均位于第二初始上行BWP的频域范围内。
此时第一指示信息的具体实现方式,可以参考前面实现方式一中的描述,在此不再赘述。终端设备具体如何确定第一PUCCH资源集合,以及在第一PUCCH资源集合中确定每一次跳频传输的PRB的起始位置,也可以参考前面实现方式一中的描述,在此不再赘述。
在该情况中,第一PUCCH资源集合与第二PUCCH资源集合也可以分别位于不同的初始上行BWP的频域范围内,例如第一PUCCH资源集合位于第一初始上行BWP的频域范围内,第二PUCCH资源集合位于第二初始上行BWP的频域范围内。
此时,第一指示信息的具体实现方式,可以参考前面实现方式一中的描述,在此不再赘述。
进一步地,在一种实施方式中,网络设备可以通过第二指示信息指示终端设备使用第一PUCCH资源集合中的一个PUCCH资源进行PUCCH传输。在一种具体的实施方式中,第二指示信息可以通过DCI承载发送。具体的,DCI中的PUCCH资源指示域可以携带参数Δ
PRI的取值,终端设备从而可以根据Δ
PRI确定r
PUCCH,具体可以参考前面的描述,在此不再赘述。
结合上面的描述,在该情况下,终端设备可以通过以下方式确定所传输的PUCCH资源所在的PRB位置:
其中,UE_BW是指终端设备支持的最大带宽,其他参数可以参考前面的描述,min()表示取最小值运算。
在该情况中,第一初始上行BWP的带宽可以小于或等于第一类型终端设备支持的最大带宽。如果第一PUCCH资源集合的频域范围大于第一类型终端设备支持的最大带宽,终端设备在第一PUCCH资源集合中进行两次跳频传输之间需要进行射频重调,具体内容可以参考实现方式一中的描述,在此不再赘述。
第二种情况,第一PUCCH资源集合的时域资源包括第一时域资源和第二时域资源,第二PUCCH资源集合的时域资源包括第三时域资源和第四时域资源。第一PUCCH资源集合与第二PUCCH资源集合部分相同,是指第一PUCCH资源集合的第一时域资源与第二PUCCH资源集合的第三时域资源相同,第一PUCCH资源集合的第二时域资源与第二PUCCH资源集合的第四时域资源不同;或者第一PUCCH资源集合与第二PUCCH资源集合部分相同,是指第一PUCCH资源集合的第一时域资源与第二PUCCH资源集合的第三时域资源不同,第一PUCCH资源集合的第二时域资源与第二PUCCH资源集合的第四时域资源相同。
其中,第一时域资源和第三时域资源可以是指第一次跳频传输PUCCH时占用的符号,第二时域资源和第四时域资源可以是指第二次跳频传输PUCCH时占用的符号。
举例来说,一个符号包括14个符号,分别为符号0至符号13。第一时域资源和第三时域资源不同,第二时域资源和第四时域资源相同时,存在多种情况,具体可以参考图11。当第一PUCCH资源集合的索引为0至2时,第一次跳频传输占用一个时隙的第9个符号(即符号8),第二次跳频传输占用一个时隙的最后一个符号(即符号13)。相应的,当第二PUCCH资源集合的索引为0至2时,第一次跳频传输占用一个时隙的第13个符号(即符号12),第二次跳频传输占用一个时隙的最后一个符号(即符号13)。
第一PUCCH资源集合的索引为3至6时,第一次跳频传输占用一个时隙的符号6和符号7,第二次跳频传输占用一个时隙的最后两个符号(即符号12和符号13)。相应的,当第二PUCCH资源集合的索引为3至6时,第一次跳频传输占用一个时隙的符号10和符号11,第二次跳频传输占用一个时隙的最后两个符号(即符号12和符号13)。
第一PUCCH资源集合的索引为7至10时,第一次跳频传输占用一个时隙的符号0至符号4,第二次跳频传输占用一个时隙的符号9至符号13。相应的,当第二PUCCH资源集合的索引为7至10时,第一次跳频传输占用一个时隙的符号4至符号8,第二次跳频传输占用一个时隙的符号9至符号13。
第一PUCCH资源集合的索引为11至15时,第一次跳频传输实际占用符号0至符号4,第二次跳频传输实际占用符号9至符号13。相应的,当第二PUCCH资源集合的索引为7至10时,第一次跳频传输占用一个时隙的符号0至符号6,第二次跳频传输占用一个时隙的符号7至符号13。
在该情况中,第一PUCCH资源集合的频域资源与第二PUCCH资源集合的频域资源重叠。此时如果第一PUCCH资源集合的频率范围大于第一类型终端设备支持的最大带宽,则在进行PUCCH跳频传输时,终端设备需进行射频重调。
为了避免射频重调导致PUCCH传输中断而造成PUCCH传输性能下降,可以在两次跳频传输之间引入符号间隔。具体的,终端设备在第一PUCCH资源集合中第一次跳频传输占用的符号的结束位置,与终端设备在第一PUCCH资源中进行第二次跳频传输占用的符号的起始位置之间可以间隔M个符号,M为大于0的整数。这M个符号作为射频重调时长,即作为两次跳频传输之间的间隔,这M个符号不用于数据传输。
举例来说,如果调整第一次跳频传输占用的起始符号的位置,那么表1可以修改为表2。
表2
结合表2,假设M=4,如图12所示,一个符号包括14个符号,分别为符号0至符号13。当第一PUCCH资源集合的索引为0至2时,第一次跳频传输占用一个时隙的第9个符号(即符号8),第二次跳频传输占用一个时隙的最后一个符号(即符号13),射频重调的起始位置(也就是两次跳频传输之间的间隔的起始位置)为该时隙的第9个符号的结束位置或者第10个符号的起始位置,一共包括4个符号;第一PUCCH资源集合的索引为3至6时,第一次跳频传输占用一个时隙的第7个符号和第8个符号,即符号6和符号7,第二次跳频传输占用一个时隙的最后两个符号(即符号12和符号13),射频重调的起始位置为该时隙的第8个符号的结束位置或者第9个符号的起始位置,一共包括4个符号。
第一PUCCH资源集合的索引为7至10时,第一次跳频传输占用一个时隙的符号0至符号4,第二次跳频传输占用一个时隙的符号9至符号13,射频重调的起始位置为该时隙的第5个符号(即符号4)的结束位置或者第6个符号(即符号5)的起始位置,一共包括4个符号。第一PUCCH资源集合的索引为11至15时,由于射频重调时长包括符号5至符号8,也就是说,第一次跳频传输占用的最后的2个符号,以及第二次跳频传输占用的最前的2个符号全部位于射频重调时长内,因此第一次跳频传输实际占用符号0至符号4,第二次跳频传输实际占用符号9至符号13,射频重调的起始位置为该时隙的第5个符号(符号4)的结束位置或者第6个符号(符号5)的起始位置,一共包括4个符号。
对于实施方式三的第一种和第二情况,网络设备为第一类型终端设备和第二类型终端配置两个部分相同的PUCCH资源集合,该两个PUCCH资源集合的部分频域资源相同或者部分时域资源相同,可以在尽可能复用现有PUCCH资源集合的部分资源以降低网络PUCCH资源开销的同时,保证第一类型终端的设备的PUCCH传输性能不下降。
本申请实施例中,第一类型终端设备支持的最大带宽较小,例如20MHz,如果第一类型终端设备工作在100MHz等带宽范围内,则至少需要配置5个20MHz的BWP,如果每个BWP上都配置PUCCH资源集合,则会导致PUCCH资源开销大,以及上行资源碎片化,降低资源利用率。然而,如果只在部分BWP中配置PUCCH资源集合,终端设备如何发送PUCCH,是一个亟待解决的问题。
如图13所示,如图13所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法流程示意图。参见图13,该方法包括:
S1301:网络设备配置P个上行带宽部分。
其中P个上行带宽部分中的Q个上行带宽部分包括专用PUCCH资源集合;Q为大于0且小于P的整数,P为大于0的整数。专用PUCCH资源集合中包括至少一个PUCCH资源。
需要说明的是,网络设备配置专用PUCCH资源集合的具体过程,本申请实施例并不限定,在此不再赘述。
S1302:网络设备向终端设备发送配置指令,配置指令用于指示P个上行带宽部分。
网络设备可以通过RRC信令或者MAC CE信令或者DCI信令发送配置指令。
S1303:终端设备接收来自网络设备的配置指令。
本申请中,终端设备可以为第一类型终端设备,也可以为第二类型终端设备。
S1304:终端设备根据配置指令确定P个上行带宽部分。
本申请实施例中,终端设备可以通过以下方式发送上行控制信息。
情况1:如果终端设备当前使用的第一上行带宽部分中包括专用PUCCH资源集合,则可以从该专用PUCCH资源集合中确定PUCCH资源,并通过该PUCCH资源发送上行控制信息。
其中,当前使用的第一上行带宽部分也可以称为激活第一上行带宽部分,第一上行带宽部分为P个上行带宽部分中的一个上行带宽部分。
情况2:如果终端设备当前使用的第一上行带宽部分中不包括专用PUCCH资源集合,则可以确定需要发送上行控制信息的时刻在第一上行带宽部分中是否有物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH)传输。
如果在第一上行带宽部分中有PUSCH传输,则在第一上行带宽部分中通过PUSCH同时携带上行控制信息。
如果第一上行带宽部分中没有PUSCH传输,则切换到第二上行带宽部分;第二上行带宽部分包括专用PUCCH资源集合;第二上行带宽部分为P个上行带宽部分中的一个上行带宽部分。终端设备通过第二上行带宽部分中的专用PUCCH资源集合中PUCCH资源发送上行控制信息。
需要说明的是,终端设备具体如何切换,本申请实施例并不限定。一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备可以接收来自网络设备的切换命令,切换命令指示终端设备切换到第二上行带宽部分,终端设备可以根据该切换命令切换到第二上行带宽部分。一种可能的实现方 式中,终端设备可以根据预定义规则切换到第二上行带宽部分,预定义规则的具体内容并不限定。
上面的过程中,通过仅在部分BWP上配置专用PUCCH资源,可以降低PUCCH开销,缓解上行资源碎片化的问题。进一步的,当没有PUCCH资源时,通过PUSCH发送上行控制信息或者切换到其他BWP,可以提高PUCCH传输的灵活性,保证PUCCH及时有效的传输。
