Description

A communication method and device

technical field

The present application relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a communication method and device.

Background technique

In the new radio (NR) system in the fifth generation ( ^5th generation, 5G) mobile communication system, in order to reduce the complexity of channel estimation, the existing protocol stipulates that the PDSCH demodulation reference signal (demodulation reference signal, DMRS) and the resources of the control resource set (control-resource set, CORESET) cannot overlap. When the DMRS symbol of the PDSCH overlaps the CORESET symbol, the DMRS symbol needs to be moved backward. Because the terminal can only perform channel estimation after receiving the DMRS, and then can demodulate and decode the PDSCH according to the channel estimation result. Since the backward shift of the DMRS symbol shortens the available processing time of the terminal for the PDSCH, it is likely that the terminal cannot demodulate and decode the PDSCH in time, thereby failing to send the HARQ feedback information normally.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present application provides a communication method and apparatus to avoid the failure to send HARQ feedback information normally due to the backward shift of the DMRS symbols.

A first aspect provides a communication method, the method can be executed by a terminal or a module in the terminal, the method includes: the terminal receives downlink control information DCI from a network device, where the DCI includes hybrid automatic retransmission The HARQ feedback timing indication field is requested, and the HARQ feedback timing indication field indicates the time unit of the interval between the physical uplink control channel PUCCH and the physical downlink shared channel PDSCH scheduled by the DCI, wherein the PUCCH is used to carry the data of the PDSCH. HARQ feedback information; the terminal determines the back-shift distance of the DMRS under the condition that the time-frequency resources of the demodulation reference signal DMRS used to carry the PDSCH overlap with the time-frequency resources of the control resource set CORESET; At least one of the moving distance and the duration of the PDSCH, determine the first time parameter d3; the terminal determines the processing time T according to the first time parameter d3, and the processing time T includes the reception of the terminal from the PDSCH. The time required to generate the corresponding HARQ feedback information; under the condition that the first symbol of the PUCCH is not earlier than the earliest feedback symbol, the terminal sends the HARQ feedback information to the network device, wherein the earliest feedback symbol is based on The last symbol of the PDSCH is the symbol determined by the processing time T, and the HARQ feedback information is determined according to the decoding result of the PDSCH.

The above-mentioned time-frequency resources of the DMRS overlap with the time-frequency resources of the CORESET, which may specifically refer to the overlap of the time-frequency resources of the frontload DMRS and the time-frequency resources of the CORESET. The overlapping may refer to full overlapping or partial overlapping, which is not limited. In the above method, by introducing a new first time parameter d3, the duration of the processing time T can be increased to a certain extent, thereby providing sufficient PDSCH processing time for the terminal before sending the HARQ feedback information, so that the HARQ feedback information can be normal send.

Optionally, under the condition that the first symbol of the PUCCH is earlier than the earliest feedback symbol, the terminal does not send the HARQ feedback information or sends a negative acknowledgement (NACK).

The above-mentioned terminal equipment may also directly discard the DCI for scheduling the PDSCH under the above-mentioned conditions.

In a possible design, under the condition that the duration of the PDSCH is less than or equal to the duration threshold, the value of the first time parameter d3 is 0.

Through the above method, when the duration of the PDSCH is small, no matter how the DMRS is moved back, it is impossible to move out of the PDSCH range. At this time, the back-moving distance of the DMRS is also small, and the impact caused by the back-moving of the DMRS is also small. At this time, the processing time T can also be calculated by setting the first time parameter d3 to 0, that is, without introducing a new time parameter, and continuing to use the original method.

In a possible design, under the condition that the duration of the PDSCH is greater than a duration threshold, the first time parameter d3 is determined according to the backward shift distance of the DMRS.

Optionally, the value of the first time parameter d3 is equal to the backward shift distance of the DMRS.

Optionally, the terminal determines a first numerical value set from a plurality of numerical value sets according to the backward shift distance of the DMRS; and determines the first time parameter d3 according to the first numerical value set.

In a possible design, according to a preconfigured condition, the value of the first time parameter d3 is equal to the first value in the first value set.

In a possible design, the processing time T satisfies the following conditions:

T _proc,1 =(N ₁ +d _1,1 +d ₂ +d ₃ )(2048+144)·κ2− ^μ ·T _C +T _ext

Wherein, the T _proc,1 represents the processing time T, the N ₁ represents the processing time of the PDSCH determined according to the subcarrier spacing, the processing capability of the terminal and whether the additional DMRS is configured, and the d ₁₁ represents the physical The relaxation time introduced by the overlapping of the downlink control channel PDCCH and PDSCH, the d ₂ represents the parameter introduced by considering the overlapping of the uplink channels of different priorities, the d ₃ represents the first time parameter, and the T _C represents the time unit , the _Text takes 1 in the operation of shared spectrum channel access, and takes 0 in other scenarios, κ is a constant 64, and the u indicates the subcarrier spacing.

In another possible design, the processing time T satisfies the following conditions:

T _proc,1 =(N ₁ +max(d _1,1 ,d ₃ )+d ₂ )(2048+144)· _κ2 − ^μ ·T _C +Text

Wherein, the T _proc,1 represents the processing time T, the N ₁ represents the processing time of the PDSCH determined according to the subcarrier spacing, the processing capability of the terminal and whether the additional DMRS is configured, and the d ₁₁ represents the consideration of the PDCCH The relaxation time introduced by the overlap with the PDSCH, the d ₂ represents the parameter introduced by considering the overlapping of uplink channels of different priorities, the d ₃ represents the first time parameter, the T _C represents the time unit, the T _ext takes 1 in the operation of shared spectrum channel access, and takes 0 in other scenarios, κ is represented as a constant 64, and the u indicates the subcarrier spacing.

Through the above, mainly considering the influence of d11 not being zero, and synthesizing the values of d11 and d3, it is also possible to avoid setting the value of the processing time T too large and reduce the communication delay.

In a second aspect, a communication method is provided. The method can be executed by a terminal or a module in the terminal. The method includes: the terminal receives downlink control information DCI from a network device, where the DCI includes hybrid automatic retransmission.

HARQ feedback information; the time-frequency resources of the terminal for carrying the demodulation reference signal DMRS of the PDSCH overlap with the time-frequency resources of the control resource set CORESET, and the terminal supports processing capability 2 and the processing capability 2 is enabled Under the condition of , the processing time T is determined according to the parameter of the processing capability 1, and the processing time T includes the time required by the terminal to generate the corresponding HARQ feedback information from the reception of the PDSCH, wherein, in the same subcarrier interval and Under the DMRS configuration, the processing time T2 determined according to the processing capability 2 is less than the processing time T; the terminal sends HARQ feedback to the network device under the condition that the first symbol of the PUCCH is not earlier than the earliest feedback symbol information, wherein the earliest feedback symbol is a symbol determined according to the last symbol of the PDSCH and the processing time T, and the HARQ feedback information is determined according to a decoding result of the PDSCH.

Through the above method, since the processing time of the PDSCH of the terminal with processing capability 2 is shorter, when the DMRS is shifted backward, the impact on it is greater, and the resulting problem is more significant. Therefore, in this embodiment of the present application, when the DMRS is shifted back, the terminal falls back to processing capability 1 to determine the processing time of the PDSCH, which can increase the processing time of the PDSCH to a certain extent, so that the HARQ feedback information can be sent normally.

In a possible design, the terminal supports the processing capability 2 and the processing capability 2 is enabled, and the DMRS is a front-load DMRS; the backward shift position of the front-load DMRS is equal to or later than the protocol The processing time T is determined according to the parameters in the processing capability 1 when the additional DMRS is configured under the condition of the specified location of the original additional DMRS.

The functions of the terminal device may also be performed by a module (eg, a chip) in the terminal device.

The related technical features involved in the embodiments of the present application are explained below first.

1. PDSCH resource indication in downlink control information (DCI)

In NR, DCI is carried on the PDCCH, and the DCI carried by the PDCCH that schedules the PDSCH contains two domains: frequency domain resource assignment and time domain resource assignment. The UE determines a time-frequency resource block according to the information of these two fields, and the DMRS of PDSCH and PDSCH will be transmitted in this resource block.

2. PDSCH time domain mapping method

In NR, PDSCH has two mapping methods: mapping type A (mapping type A) and mapping type B (mapping type B). The two types of PDSCH have different start symbols S and continuous symbols L, and the positions of the DMRSs are also different.

As shown in Table 1, the starting symbol S of PDSCH of type A may be the first 4 symbols {0, 1, 2, 3} of a slot, and the number L of persistent symbols of PDSCH may be {3,..., 14} et al. For a PDSCH of type B, the starting symbol S may be the first 13 symbols {0, . Of course, the above description takes the symbol of the common cyclic prefix as an example, and the symbols of the extended cyclic prefix are similar to them, and will not be repeated.

Table 1

As shown in FIG. 2a, taking the PDSCH of type A as an example, the start symbol S is 2, and the number L of continuous symbols is 11. As shown in FIG. 2b, taking the PDSCH of type B as an example, the start symbol is 4, and the number of continuous symbols is 2; or the start symbol is 8, and the number of continuous symbols is 4.

3. Resources that cannot be used to send PDSCH

In NR, some resources that cannot be used to transmit PDSCH are defined. If these resources overlap with the PDSCH time-frequency resources scheduled by the DCI, the overlapping resources cannot be used for PDSCH transmission.

At the same time, in order to reduce the complexity of channel estimation, the protocol stipulates that the UE does not expect the DMRS of the PDSCH and the resources that cannot be used to transmit the PDSCH to overlap. There are three main types of resources that cannot be used to transmit PDSCH:

1, resource block (resource block, RB) symbol (symbol) level resources

2. Resources at the resource element (RE) level

3. SSB-level resources.

Among them, the embodiments of the present application mainly involve CORESET resources in the resources at the RB symbol level, which will be mainly introduced in the following embodiments.

4. CORESET

In NR, the time-frequency resources for wireless communication between the base station and the terminal can be divided into two parts, namely the control area and the data area. The control area includes one or more CORESETs, and each control resource set may include one or more CORESETs. For multiple control-channel elements (control-channel elements, CCEs), the base station can map one PDCCH to one or more CCEs for transmission. Therefore, CORESET is specifically a block of time-frequency resources in the control region.

5. DMRS in PDSCH

It can be seen from the above description that in the PDSCH time-domain symbols scheduled by DCI, there will be several symbols carrying DMRS for channel estimation, so that PDSCH demodulation and decoding can be performed according to the channel estimation result.

In NR, the DMRS of PDSCH mainly include two types, namely front-loaded DMRS and additional DMRS. For the front-load DMRS, for the PDSCH of type B, its original position is always on the first symbol or the first two symbols of the PDSCH; for the additional DMRS, only when the time domain length of the PDSCH is greater than or equal to 5 symbols The specific location is specified in the protocol, and the location of the additional DMRS in the PDSCH of different lengths is different. Since the channel changes rapidly with time, more DMRS are needed to ensure the channel estimation performance, and the additional DMRS is mainly used to improve the PDSCH reception performance in the high-speed channel.

When the preload DMRS of the PDSCH overlaps the time-frequency resources of the CORESET, the preload DMRS and the additional DMRS need to be moved backward at the same time. The NR protocol gives the following restrictions on the backward shift of DMRS:

1. For PDSCH of length 2, the DMRS cannot be later than the second symbol;

2. For PDSCH with a length of 5, if an additional DMRS is configured, the additional DMRS cannot be later than the 5th symbol;

3. For PDSCH (ordinary cyclic redundancy prefix) of length 7 or PDSCH (extended cyclic redundancy prefix) of length 6, then

3.1. The preload DMRS cannot be later than the 4th symbol;

3.2. If an additional DMRS is configured, the preload DMRS and the additional DMRS are located in the 1st symbol and the 5th symbol or moved to the 2nd symbol and the 6th symbol, otherwise the additional DMRS will not be sent.

4. For other PDSCHs of length L, the DMRS cannot be later than the L-1 th symbol.

4.1. For a PDSCH with a length of 12 or 13, the DMRS cannot be later than the 12th symbol of the slot (note that this is limited by the absolute position in the slot).

6. Processing time of PDSCH

In NR, two processing capabilities are defined for the processing time of PDSCH, namely UE processing capability 1 (UE processing capability 1) and UE processing capability 2 (UE processing capability 2), hereinafter referred to as processing capability 1 and processing capability 2 respectively. . The PDSCH processing time specifically refers to the time required by the UE from receiving the PDSCH to generating its corresponding hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback.

As shown in Figure 3, specifically, the time from the end of the last symbol of PDSCH to the first symbol of PUCCH carrying the corresponding HARQ is not less than the PDSCH processing time T _proc,1 :

T _proc,1 =(N ₁ +d _1,1 +d ₂ )(2048+144)· _κ2 ^−μ ·T _C +Text ;

That is to say, when the terminal is designed, it must be able to receive the PDSCH and generate the corresponding HARQ within T _proc,1 , so as to meet the strictest scheduling requirements. The parameters in the above formula are described in detail below:

1. N1 is the PDSCH processing time specified by the protocol

Among them, Table 2 is defined for the terminal with PDSCH processing capability 1, the second column is suitable for the scenario where the front-load DMRS is configured and the additional DMRS is not configured, and the third column is suitable for the scenario where the front-load DMRS and the additional DMRS are configured at the same time; Table 3 It is defined for a terminal with PDSCH processing capability 2, and additional DMRS is not allowed to be configured at this time. Wherein, under the same subcarrier spacing and DMRS configuration, the PDSCH processing time of processing capability 2 is less than the PDSCH processing time of processing capability 1.

In Table 2 or 3, u corresponds to different subcarrier spacing, 0 means 15kHz, 1 means 30kHz, 2 means 60kHz, and 3 means 120kHz. Since the whole process involves the PDSCH carrying downlink data, the PDCCH where the DCI that schedules the PDSCH is located, and the PUCCH or PUSCH where the HARQ corresponding to the PDSCH is located, and the subcarrier intervals of the downlink/uplink carriers where these channels are located may be different. In this case, u takes the subcarrier spacing that can maximize the value of T _proc,1 .

Table 2: PDSCH processing time for processing capability 1

Table 3: PDSCH processing time for processing capability 2

2. d _1,1 is the relaxation of the processing time introduced by considering the overlap of PDCCH and PDSCH

Among them, because the terminal must first receive the PDCCH and decode and parse the DCI information carried on the PDCCH, it can know the location of the PDSCH and related physical layer parameters, and then the PDSCH can be demodulated and decoded. Affects the processing speed of PDSCH. For PDSCH of type B, the values of d _1,1 are as follows:

(1) When the number of symbols of PDSCH is greater than or equal to 7, d _1,1 takes the value 0;

(2) When the number of symbols of the PDSCH is greater than or equal to 3 and less than or equal to 6, the value of d _1,1 is equal to the number of symbols overlapping the PDSCH and the PDCCH that schedules the PDSCH;

(3) When the number of symbols of PDSCH is equal to 2,

First, if the PDCCH that schedules the PDSCH is on a CORESET with a length of 3 symbols, and the CORESET is the same as the start symbol of the PDSCH, then d _1,1 is 0;

Second, otherwise d _1,1 is equal to the number of symbols that the PDSCH overlaps with the PDCCH that schedules the PDSCH.

3. d2 is a parameter introduced when the uplink channels of different priorities overlap, and has nothing to do with this design.

In addition to the above, in the above formula, Tc represents a time unit, eg, _Tc = 1/(Δf _max ·N _f ); where Δf _max =480·10 ³ Hz and N _f =4096; κ represents Ts and The ratio between Tc, taking a fixed value κ=T _s /T _c =64. _Text takes 1 in the operation of shared spectrum channel access, and takes 0 in other scenarios.

Because in the current solution, the PDSCH processing time does not consider the influence of the DMRS backward shift. FIG. 4 illustrates several scenarios in which the DMRS is moved backward. For the sake of simplicity, only the influence of the front-loaded DMRS is considered. The CORESET1 in FIG. 4 is the CORESET where the PDCCH1 corresponding to the PDSCH1 is located, and does not overlap with the PDSCH1, so d ₁ and 1 in the processing time requirement are all set to zero.

Referring to the upper right picture in Figure 4, taking the PDSCH of 7 symbols as an example, since CORESET 2 overlaps with PDSCH1, the preload DMRS of PDSCH1 is moved from the first symbol of the PDSCH to the fourth symbol, because the UE must receive The channel estimation can be performed only after the DMRS is obtained, and then the PDSCH1 can be demodulated and decoded by using the channel estimation value. The backward shift of the front-load DMRS shortens the available processing time of the terminal for the PDSCH, which may cause the UE to fail to demodulate and decode the PDSCH, or use a simplified algorithm to complete the process in a short time, thereby affecting the downlink reception performance. Such processing time compression will have a greater impact on a terminal that requires a high processing capability 2 for processing time.

Based on the above, the embodiments of the present application provide the following three solutions to avoid the problem that the processing time of the PDSCH is shortened and the reception performance of the terminal is affected due to the backward shift of the DMRS.

The first solution: a new time parameter d3 is introduced, and the time parameter d3 is involved in calculating the processing time of the PDSCH, thereby increasing the processing time of the PDSCH to a certain extent and ensuring the receiving performance of the terminal.

The second solution: It can be seen from the comparison between Table 2 and Table 3 that for a terminal with capability 2, the PDSCH processing time is shorter. When the terminal is in processing capability 2, and when the DMRS backward shift occurs, the terminal can fall back to processing capability 1 to calculate the processing time of PDSCH, which increases the processing time of PDSCH.

The third solution: design a new capability for the terminal, for example, the terminal can report to the network device whether it supports the capability of DMRS backward shift. If the terminal does not support it, the network device no longer schedules the time-frequency resource overlapping the DMRS of the PDSCH and the CORESET for the terminal.

Example 1

The first embodiment is used to introduce the above-mentioned first solution. The method includes: when the DMRS of the PDSCH overlaps the time-frequency resources of the CORESET, determining the back-shift distance of the DMRS; according to the back-shift distance of the DMRS and the duration of the PDSCH At least one of the first time parameter d3 is determined; the processing time of the PDSCH is determined according to the first time parameter d3. It should be pointed out that in the solution of this embodiment of the present application, the time-frequency resources of the DMRS overlap with the time-frequency resources of the CORESET, which may specifically refer to the overlap of the time-frequency resources of the frontload DMRS and the time-frequency resources of the CORESET. The following Embodiment 2 is similar to Embodiment 3 and will not be further described.

The execution body of the above method may be a terminal or a network device. Optionally, the terminal may also be a module in the terminal, and the network device may be a module in the network device. For the terminal, after the processing time of the PDSCH is determined, the PDSCH can be received, decoded, and corresponding HARQ feedback is generated within the processing time of the PDSCH or less. For the network device, after determining the processing time of the PDSCH, it can be ensured that the time interval between the scheduled PUCCH and the PDSCH is greater than or equal to the processing time of the PDSCH.

Optionally, the value of the first time parameter d3 can be any of the following:

1: The value of the first time parameter d3 is related to the backward distance of the DMRS

1.1: The value of the first time parameter d3 is equal to the backward shift distance of the DMRS. For example, if the backward shift distance of the DMRS is 2, the value of d3 is 2.

1.2: Determine a first numerical value set from a plurality of numerical value sets according to the backward shift distance of the DMRS; determine the first time parameter d3 according to the first numerical value set. For example, according to a preconfigured condition, the value of the first time parameter d3 may be equal to the first value in the first value set. Exemplarily, the above-mentioned multiple value sets may be divided according to gears, and each gear corresponds to a numerical value set. For example, if the value range of the backward shift distance a of the DMRS is 1 to X, the above-mentioned X values of 1-X can be pre-divided into Y gears, and the Y gears can be respectively (1, x1-1 ), (x1, x2-1), (x2, x3-1), up to (X _Y-1 , X). So:

When 1<=a<x1, the value of d3 is a value from 1 to x1-1, and the specific value of d3 from 1 to x1-1 can be specified by the protocol.

When x1<=a<x2, the value of d3 is a value from x1 to x2-1. Similarly, the specific value of x1 to x2-1 for d3 can be specified by the protocol. In other gears, the value of a is similar to that described above, and will not be repeated here.

1.3: The value of the first time parameter d3 is the maximum value of the following two values: 0, last_pos_DMRSshift-last_pos_DMRSconfigured. It should be noted that the sign between the above variable "last_pos_DMRSshift" and the variable "last_pos_DMRSconfigured" is "minus", and the above "last_pos_DMRSshift-last_pos_DMRSconfigured" represents the difference between the two variables. Wherein, last_pos_DMRSshift refers to the OFDM symbol index where the last DMRS after the DMRS backshift operation is located, and last_pos_DMRSconfigured refers to the OFDM symbol index where the last DMRS configured according to the protocol preset or network configuration is located before the DMRS backshift operation.

When the additional DMRS is configured, if the additional DMRS is moved out of the symbol range where the PDSCH is located, the additional DMRS will no longer be sent. At this time, last_pos_DMRSshift is the index of the OFDM symbol where the last preload DMRS is located after the back-shift operation, and last_pos_DMRSconfigured is the The OFDM symbol index where the last additional DMRS of the configuration is obtained according to the protocol preset or network configuration before the DMRS shift operation. At this time, the value of last_pos_DMRSshift-last_pos_DMRSconfigured may be a negative value, and the value of d3 is 0.

2: It is related to the back-shift distance of DMRS and the duration of PDSCH

2.1: Under the condition that the duration of the PDSCH is less than or equal to the duration threshold, the value of the first time parameter d3 is 0.

2.2: Under the condition that the duration of the PDSCH is greater than the duration threshold, determine the first time parameter d3 according to the backward shift distance of the DMRS. For details on how to determine the first time parameter d3 according to the backward shift distance of the DMRS, reference may be made to the introduction of the above case 1.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the processing time of the PDSCH is determined according to the first time parameter d3, and the following conditions may be satisfied:

T _proc,1 =(N ₁ +d _1,1 +d ₂ +d ₃ )(2048+144)·κ2− ^μ ·T _C +T _ext

Wherein, the T _proc,1 represents the processing time of the PDSCH, and the N ₁ represents the processing time of the PDSCH determined according to the subcarrier spacing, the processing capability of the terminal, and whether the additional DMRS is configured, see Table 2 or Table 3 above. In the introduction, the d ₁₁ represents the relaxation time introduced by the overlap of the PDCCH and the PDSCH, the d ₂ represents the parameters introduced by considering the overlap of the uplink channels of different priorities, and the d ₃ represents the first time parameter, The T _C represents the time unit, the _Text is 1 in the operation of shared spectrum channel access, and 0 in other scenarios, κ is a constant 46, and the u indicates the subcarrier spacing.

Alternatively, consider a CORESET where the PDCCH corresponding to the PDSCH is located in the CORESET overlapping the PDSCH time-frequency resource, that is, a scenario where d _1,1 is not zero. Then the influence of PDCCH analysis and DMRS channel estimation can also be considered comprehensively. The above-mentioned determination of the processing time of the PDSCH according to the first time parameter d3 may satisfy the following conditions:

For the meaning of each parameter in this formula, please refer to the above.

It should be pointed out that the solution of the above-mentioned Embodiment 1 can be applied to a terminal with processing capability 1 or a terminal with processing capability 2. Since the original PDSCH processing time of the terminal with processing capability 2 is shorter, the impact caused by the DMRS backward shift is greater. By increasing the above-mentioned first time parameter d3, the improvement effect on the terminal with processing capability 2 is more obvious. If the above solution is applied to the terminal of processing capability 1, since the corresponding PDSCH DMRS of the terminal of processing capability 1 includes at least the frontload DMRS, it may also include additional DMRS. Because in the current solution, if the DMRS is moved backward, the front-loaded DMRS and the additional DMRS move at the same time, and the moving distances of the two are the same. Correspondingly, the DMRS backward shift distance in the above-mentioned first embodiment may specifically refer to the backward shift distance of the front-loaded DMRS, or may specifically refer to the backward shift distance of the additional DMRS. If the above solution is applied to a terminal with processing capability 2, the corresponding PDSCH DMRS of the terminal with processing capability 2 only includes the frontload DMRS. Correspondingly, the DMRS backward shift distance in the above-mentioned first embodiment may specifically refer to the backward shift distance of the front-loaded DMRS.

As shown in FIG. 5 , a flow of a communication method is provided, which can be an example of the method in the above-mentioned Embodiment 1 being applied to a terminal. The terminal is a UE and the network device is a base station as an example for description, which at least includes: :

Step 501: The UE receives DCI from the base station, the DCI includes a HARQ feedback timing indication field, and the HAQR feedback timing field indicates a time unit between PUCCH and PDSCH, and the PUCCH is used to carry HARQ feedback of PDSCH. It can be understood that, the time unit in this embodiment of the present application may be a radio frame, a subframe, a time slot, a micro-time frequency, a symbol, or the like.

For example, when the PDSCH is located in the time unit n, and the HARQ feedback timing indication field indicates k, it means that the PUCCH used for carrying the HARQ feedback of the PDSCH is located in the time unit n+k. Further, if the time unit that bears the PDSCH includes multiple time units, the last time unit of the PDSCH is used as the time unit n, and the k indicated by the HARQ feedback timing indication field is used to determine the location of the PUCCH used for the HARQ feedback of the PDSCH. The time unit of is n+k. Further, if the time unit that bears the PUCCH includes multiple time units, the first time unit that bears the PUCCH is taken as the time unit n+k. The last time unit of PDSCH refers to the time unit where the last OFDM symbol of PDSCH is located, and the first time unit of PUCCH refers to the time unit where the first OFDM symbol of PUCCH is located.

Step 502: Under the condition that the time-frequency resources of the DMRS used to carry the PDSCH overlap with the time-frequency resources of the CORESET, determine the back-shift distance of the DMRS. Optionally, the time-frequency resources of the DMRS of the PDSCH and the time-frequency resources of the CORESET may be completely overlapped or partially overlapped.

In an example, as shown in the upper right diagram of FIG. 4 , since CORESET2 overlaps with PDSCH1, the front-load DMRS of PDSCH1 is moved from the first symbol of the PDSCH to the fourth symbol, then the backward shift distance of the DMRS is 3 symbols.

Step 503: Determine the first time parameter d3 according to at least one of the back-shift distance of the DMRS and the duration of the PDSCH. For the process of determining the first time parameter d3, reference may be made to the foregoing description in the first embodiment.

Step 504: Determine the processing time T according to the first time parameter d3. The processing time T is the aforementioned PDSCH processing time. For the process of determining the processing time T according to the first time parameter d3, please refer to the aforementioned process of determining the PDSCH processing time according to the first time parameter d3. The processing time T includes the time required by the UE from receiving the PDSCH to generating corresponding HARQ feedback information, and the above processing time T may also be understood as the maximum processing time of the PDSCH.

Step 505: Under the condition that the first symbol of the PUCCH is not earlier than the earliest feedback symbol, the UE sends HARQ feedback information to the base station, wherein the earliest feedback symbol is based on the last symbol of the PDSCH and the processing time T. The determined symbol, the HARQ feedback information is determined according to the decoding result of the PDSCH.

Optionally, the above method further includes: under the condition that the first symbol of the PUCCH is earlier than the earliest feedback symbol, the UE may not send the HARQ feedback information, or the UE may send a negative acknowledgement (negative-acknowledgment) to the base station. acknowledgment, NACK), the NACK represents that the PDSCH has not had time to complete the decoding, or the UE may directly discard the DCI received in the above step 501, etc.

Through the above method, when the first symbol of the PUCCH scheduled by the DCI is not earlier than the last feedback symbol, the UE sends the HARQ feedback information to the base station to ensure the UE's reception and feedback performance. At the same time, by increasing the first time parameter d3, the processing time T of the UE can be increased, and the receiving and feedback performance of the UE can be further ensured.

It can be seen from the foregoing description that the method in the first embodiment can be applied to a terminal with capability 1 or a terminal with capability 2. As shown in FIG. 6 , a flow of a communication method is provided, and the flow can be the same as that of the foregoing embodiment. The solution in 1 is applied to an example of a terminal of capability 2. The terminal is a UE and the network device is a base station as an example for description. The process at least includes:

Step 601: The UE reports to the base station whether it supports PDSCH processing capability 2.

In a possible implementation manner, the processing capability 1 is a basic capability and does not need to be reported. If the UE supports processing capability 2, it needs to be reported separately; if the UE does not support processing capability 2, there is no need to report, and the base station does not support it by default.

Step 602: The base station sends configuration information to the UE, where the configuration information includes whether to enable processing capability 2 and CORESET-related configuration parameters.

Step 603: The UE determines whether to enter the processing capability 2 according to the configuration information, and determines the time-frequency resource location of the CORESET.

Step 604: The base station sends the PDCCH1 to the UE on CORESET1, and sends the PDSCH1 corresponding to the DCI1 carried on the PDCCH1.

Step 605: The UE blindly detects PDCCH1 on CORESET1, and after receiving and parsing the information of DCI1 carried on PDCCH1, continues to receive PDSCH1 according to the information of DCI1, and determines the processing time of PDSCH.

Among them, if the UE determines that it has entered the processing capability 2 according to the configuration information in the above step 603, and because the time-frequency resources of CORESET and PDSCH overlap, the front-load DMRS is shifted backward, then for the PDSCH processing time T _proc,1 , the UE A new offset parameter d3 can be introduced, and the value of d3 can be referred to above. For the relationship between PDSCH processing time T _proc,1 and d3, please refer to the following formula:

T _proc,1 =(N ₁ +d _1,1 +d ₂ +d ₃ )(2048+144)· _κ2 − ^μ ·T _C +Text ;

Further, if there is a CORESET1 where the PDCCH1 corresponding to the PDSCH1 is located in the CORESET overlapping with the PDSCH1, that is, a scenario in which d _1,1 is not zero. The influence of PDCCH analysis and DMRS channel estimation may also be comprehensively considered. For the relationship between PDSCH processing time T _proc,1 and d3, please refer to the following formula:

T _proc,1 =(N ₁ +max(d _1,1 ,d ₃ )+d ₂ )(2048+144)· _κ2 − ^μ ·TC+ _Text ;

In the above embodiment, the downlink data processing time requirement is adjusted for the backward shift of the DMRS, thereby ensuring that the user completes data reception within the specified time, ensuring the downlink throughput, and at the same time not increasing the processing complexity of the user.

Embodiment 2

The second embodiment is used to introduce the second solution. The method includes: when the DMRS of the PDSCH overlaps the time-frequency resources of the CORESET, and the terminal is in processing capability 2; the terminal falls back to processing capability 1, and determines the PDSCH processing time.

The execution body of the method may be a terminal or a network device. It can be understood that the terminal may also be a module in the terminal, and the network device may also be a module in the network device. After the terminal or the network device determines the processing time of the PDSCH, the subsequent processing process is similar to the first embodiment above.

Optionally, when the terminal is in processing capability 2, the DMRS of its PDSCH only includes the frontload DMRS. When the backward shift position of the front-loaded DMRS is equal to or later than the position of the original additional DMRS specified in the protocol, it means that the backward shift of the DMRS is serious at this time. As shown in Table 2 above, for a terminal with processing capability 1, under the same subcarrier interval, the time parameter N1 of the additional DMRS is greater than the parameter N1 of the preload DMRS. Therefore, in the case of serious DMRS backward shift, when the terminal falls back to processing capability 1, the PDSCH may be determined according to the time parameter of the additional DMRS configured in processing capability 1 (the time parameter may be N1) Therefore, the processing time of PDSCH is further increased and the receiving performance of the terminal is guaranteed.

As shown in FIG. 7 , a flow of a communication method is provided. This flow is an example in which the solution in the above-mentioned Embodiment 2 is applied to a terminal. Taking the terminal as a UE and the network device as a base station as an example, the flow includes at least:

Step 701: The UE receives the DCI from the base station, the DCI includes a HARQ feedback timing indication field, and the HARQ feedback timing indication field indicates the time unit of the interval between the PUCCH and the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI, wherein the PUCCH uses for the HARQ feedback information carrying the PDSCH;

Step 702: Under the condition that the time-frequency resources of the DMRS used to carry the PDSCH overlap with the time-frequency resources of the CORESET, and the UE supports processing capability 2 and the processing capability 2 is enabled, according to the parameters of the processing capability 1, The processing time T is determined.

The processing time T is the aforementioned PDSCH processing time. The processing time T includes the time required by the UE from the reception of the PDSCH to the generation of corresponding HARQ feedback information. Wherein, under the same subcarrier spacing and DMRS configuration, the processing time T2 determined according to the processing capability 2 is smaller than the processing time T.

Step 703: Under the condition that the first symbol of the PUCCH is not earlier than the earliest feedback symbol, the UE sends HARQ feedback information to the base station, and the earliest feedback symbol is based on the last symbol of the PDSCH and the processing time T. The determined symbol, the HARQ feedback information is determined according to the decoding result of the PDSCH.

Optionally, the above method further includes: under the condition that the first symbol of the PUCCH is earlier than the earliest feedback symbol, the UE no longer sends the HARQ feedback information or sends a negative acknowledgement NACK to the base station, where the NACK indicates The demodulation and decoding of the PDSCH is not completed. Alternatively, the UE directly discards the DCI in the above step 701 .

Exemplarily, the above-mentioned UE determines the processing time T according to the parameters of processing capability 1, including: when the UE supports the processing capability 2 and the processing capability 2 is enabled, the DMRS is a preload DMRS; The processing time T is determined according to the parameters in the processing capability 1 when the additional DMRS is configured under the condition that the backward position of the DMRS is equal to or later than the position of the original additional DMRS specified in the protocol.

As shown in FIG. 8 , a flow of a communication method is provided. This flow is another example in which the method in the second embodiment above is applied to a terminal. Taking the terminal as a UE and the network device as a base station as an example, the flow at least includes:

Step 801: The UE reports to the base station whether it supports PDSCH processing capability 2.

Step 802: The base station sends configuration information to the UE, where the configuration information includes whether to enable processing capability 2 and CORESET-related configuration parameters.

Step 803: The UE determines whether to enter the processing capability 2 according to the configuration information, and determines the time-frequency resource location of the CORESET.

Step 804: The base station sends the PDCCH1 to the UE on the CORESET1, and sends the PDSCH1 corresponding to the DCI1 carried on the PDCCH1.

Step 805: The UE blindly detects PDCCH1 on CORESET, and after receiving and parsing the information of DCI1 carried on PDCCH1, continues to receive PDSCH1 according to DCI1, and determines the processing time of PDSCH.

Among them, if the UE determines that it is in capability processing 2 according to the above configuration information, and because the time-frequency resources of CORESET and PDSCH overlap, the preload DMRS is shifted backward, then it falls back to processing capability 1, and uses the relevant parameters of processing capability 1, Determine the processing time of PDSCH.

Optionally, if the position to which the DMRS is currently loaded is equal to or later than the position of the additional DMRS specified in the original protocol, the value of the additional DMRS in the processing capability 1 can be used (specifically, the third column of the above Table 2 can be used. The value in ) determines the processing time of the PDSCH.

Through the above method, since the processing time of the PDSCH of the terminal with processing capability 2 is shorter, when the DMRS is shifted backward, the impact on it is greater, and the resulting problem is more significant. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, when the DMRS is shifted back, the terminal falls back to processing capability 1 to determine the processing time of the PDSCH, which can increase the processing time of the PDSCH to a certain extent and ensure the receiving performance of the terminal.

Embodiment 3

This embodiment 3 introduces the above-mentioned third solution, the method includes: the network device receives capability information from the terminal, the capability information indicates that the terminal supports or does not support the capability of the DMRS symbol backward shift of the PDSCH; the network device according to The capability information is used to schedule the PDSCH; wherein, when the terminal does not support the ability to move the DMRS symbols of the PDSCH backward, the time-frequency resources used to carry the DMRS of the PDSCH and the time-frequency resources of the CORESET do not overlap. The above-mentioned network device may also be a module in the network device, and the above-mentioned terminal may also be a module in the terminal.

Optionally, the above method further includes: the terminal receives DCI from a network device, the DCI is used to schedule PDSCH, and under the condition that the terminal does not support the ability to move the DMRS symbols of the PDSCH backward, the DMRS of the PDSCH The time-frequency resources of CORESET do not overlap with the time-frequency resources of CORESET.

In this embodiment of the present application, if the capability information reported by the terminal indicates that it supports the ability to move the DMRS symbols of the PDSCH backward, the base station can perform the overlapping scheduling of the CORESET and the PDSCH; if the capability information reported by the terminal indicates that it does not support the DMRS symbols of the PDSCH If the capability of backward shift is used, the base station cannot perform the overlapping scheduling of CORESET and PDSCH. At this time, if the time-frequency resources of the CORESET scheduled by the base station and the PDSCH still overlap, the terminal may not receive the PDSCH, or the terminal may not feed back an acknowledgement (ACK), or the terminal always feeds back NACK.

In the following embodiments, the above method is described in detail by taking the terminal as the UE and the network device as the base station as an example:

In a possible implementation manner, a new UE capability may be introduced, which is the capability of the UE to support DMRS backward shift after CORESET overlaps with PDSCH. The basic capability of the UE is that it does not support DMRS backward shift. If it supports DMRS backward shift, additional reporting is required. For UEs that report this capability, the base station may perform CORESET and PDSCH overlapping scheduling. For UEs that do not report this capability, the base station may not perform CORESET and PDSCH overlapping scheduling. Optionally, the above CORESET does not include the CORESET corresponding to the PDCCH that schedules the PDSCH. or,

The above new capability may be the capability that the UE does not support DMRS backward shift. The basic capability of the UE is to support DMRS, and the new capability is a degraded capability that requires additional reporting. For the UE that reports this capability, the base station cannot perform the overlapping scheduling of CORESET and PDSCH. For UEs that do not report this capability, the base station may perform scheduling in which CORESET and PDSCH overlap.

In the above embodiment, according to the capability distinction of UEs, the base station can perform adaptive scheduling for UEs with different capabilities, which ensures the overall efficiency of the network.

An embodiment of the present application further provides a communication device. Please refer to FIG. 9 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a communication device provided by an embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, the above-mentioned transceiver module 910 is further configured to not send the HARQ feedback information or send a negative acknowledgement NACK under the condition that the first symbol of the PUCCH is earlier than the earliest feedback symbol.
