下面参考附图对本申请提供的上行覆盖增强方法、装置、通信设备及存储介质进行详细描述。
图1为本申请实施例所提供的一种上行覆盖增强方法的流程示意图，应用于用户设备。
如图1所示，该上行覆盖增强方法，包括以下步骤：
步骤101，接收基站发送的与重复传输相关的重复指示消息。
本申请实施例的上行覆盖增强方法可以应用在任意的用户设备中。用户设备可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备。用户设备可以经无线接入网(Radio Access Network，简称RAN)与一个或多个核心网进行通信，用户设备可以是物联网终端，如传感器设备、移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)和具有物联网终端的计算机，例如，可以是固定式、便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的装置。例如，站(Station，简称STA)、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、远程用户设备(remoteterminal)、接入终端(access terminal)、用户装置(user terminal)、用户代理(useragent)、或用户终端(User Equipment，简称UE)。或者，用户设备也可以是无人飞行器的设备。或者，用户设备也可以是车载设备，比如，可以是具有无线通信功能的行车电脑，或者是外接行车电脑的无线用户设备。或者，用户设备也可以是路边设备，比如，可以是具有无线通信功能的路灯、信号灯或者其它路边设备 等。
基站可以包括多个为用户设备提供服务的小区。根据具体应用场合不同，基站又可以称为接入点，或者可以是接入网中在空中接口上通过一个或多个扇区与无线用户设备通信的设备，或者其它名称。基站可用于将收到的空中帧与网际协议(Internet Protocol，IP)分组进行相互更换，作为无线用户设备与接入网的其余部分之间的路由器，其中接入网的其余部分可包括网际协议(IP)通信网络。基站还可协调对空中接口的属性管理。例如，本申请实施例涉及的基站可以是全球移动通信系统(Global System for Mobile communications，GSM)或码分多址接入(Code Division Multiple Access，CDMA)中的网络设备(Base Transceiver Station，BTS)，也可以是带宽码分多址接入(Wide-band Code Division Multiple Access，WCDMA)中的基站(NodeB)，还可以是长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)系统中的演进型基站(evolutional Node B，eNB或e-NodeB)、5G网络架构(next generation system)中的5G基站(gNB)，也可以是家庭演进基站(Home evolved Node B，HeNB)、中继节点(relay node)、家庭基站(femto)、微微基站(pico)等，本申请实施例中并不限定。在一些网络结构中，基站可以包括集中单元(centralized unit，CU)节点和分布单元(distributed unit，DU)节点，集中单元和分布单元也可以地理上分开布置。
本实施例中，用户设备接收基站发送的重复指示消息，其中，重复指示消息是基站根据PUSCH(Physical Uplink Shared Channel，物理上行共享信道)的信道质量或信道测量，和/或，根据从PUSCH获取到的上行传输确定的解码和译码情况来确定的，指示了用户设备当前需要发送的RV(Redundancy Version，冗余版本)。本实施例中，是在相关的固定RV版本重复方案的基础上，由基站根据测量得到的信道质量，和/或解码和译码的成功情况来确定的动态的RV版本重复方案，并将该动态的RV重复方案，以重复指示消息的方式发送至用户设备，用户设备根据获取的重复指示消息中包含的RV版本重复方案，不仅可以获取足够的冗余信息，实现上行增强覆盖，也提高了传输效率和可靠性。
作为一种可能的实现方式，重复指示消息，可以是基站通过DCI(Downlink Control Information，下行控制信息)显示或隐式方式发送给用户设备的，其中，下行控制信息DCI由PDCCH(Physical Downlink Control Channel，下行物理控制信道)承载。
作为另一种可能的实现方式，重复指示消息，可以是基站通过MAC信令(Media Access Control，介质访问控制)发送给用户设备的。
步骤102，根据与重复传输相关的重复指示消息，通过上行信道向基站发送重复指示消息对应的RV版本。
在本申请的所有实施例中，RV版本是指对应于RV的版本号的传输。
在NR通信业务中，为了提升URLLC(Ultra-relaible and Low Latency Communication, 极可靠低时延通信)的可靠性，用户设备通过上行链路(例如PUSCH)向基站发送上行传输；可通过重复多次以提高可靠性，而每次通过上行链路发送上行传输，都会对应于相应的RV版本，该RV版本是基于基站发送的重复指示消息确定的。其中，用户设备向基站发送RV版本的顺序是基于预设的冗余版本RV序列发送的，冗余版本RV序列中，包含多个RV版本，多个RV版本是按照预设的冗余版本RV序列中各个RV版本的排列顺序依次发送的，也就是说用户设备发送的RV版本是预设冗余版本RV序列中的一个RV版本号所对应的RV版本，其中，不同的RV版本号所对应的RV版本中包含的冗余信息可以相同，也可以不同。
作为一种可能的实现方式，预设冗余版本RV序列中包含的多个RV版本号，例如：包含第一至第N个RV版本号，且第一至第N个版本号按照预设顺序排列，其中，N为正整数，例如，N为4或6等，本实施例中不进行限定。
为了便于说明，本实施例中，以预设冗余版本RV序列中包含的版本号为4个为例，进行说明，对于版本号N为其它数量的情况，原理相同，本实施例中不再赘述。
作为一种实现方式，RV的版本数量N为4，则预设冗余版本RV序列为[0、2、3、1]，其中，0、2、3和1分别对应不同的RV的版本号，用户设备在向基站发送RV版本时，则是以该预设顺序排列的RV版本发送的；在一些可能的环境中，[0、2、3、1]的RV序列具有较好的译码性能，但是自解码能力较差。
作为另一种实现方式，RV的版本数量N为4，则预设冗余版本RV序列为[0、3、0、3]，其中，0和3分别对应不同的RV的版本号，用户设备在向基站发送RV序列时，则是以该预设顺序排列的RV版本发送的。
本领域内技术人员可以理解，上述预设顺序只是举例说明，而并非对本申请的保护范围的限定。
在一些可能的环境中，[0、3、0、3]的RV序列译码性能和自解码性能较为均衡，其中不同的RV序列的解码和译码性能可以是通过仿真实验确定，也可以是实际应用中基于历史记录确定的，本实施例中不进行限定。
而一些实施例中，用户设备以预设冗余版本RV序列向基站发送时，会将预设冗余版本中包含的RV版本进行重复发送，以提高接收机频率跟踪的效果，或提升信道估计的精度。也就是说，用户设备通过上行链路(例如PUSCH)发送至基站的实际的RV序列中存在RV版本重复发送的情况，称为RV重复序列。而相关技术中，RV重复序列中各版本的重复次数是相同的，并不是动态变化的。例如，对于RV重复序列中包含的16次重复，RV重复序列为{0，0，0，0，2，2，2，2，3，3，3，3，1，1，1，1}。然而，本申请中用户设备发送至基站的RV重复序列中的RV版本，是根据基站发送的重复指示消息确定的，即 传输过程中的一个或多个的RV版本是动态变化的，并不是预先设定的固定RV版本。在一些实施方式中，一个或多个RV版本的重复次数也是由从基站获取到的重复指示消息确定的，也就是说RV重复序列中每一个RV版本重复的次数可以相同，也可以不同；RV重复序列中每一个RV版本重复的次数可以是预先设定的，也可以是基站动态配置的。例如，RV版本0重复发送了5次，RV版本2重复发送了3次，RV版本3重复发送了2次，RV版本1重复发送了6次，从而RV重复序列表示为{0，0，0，0，0，2，2，2，3，3，1，1，1，1，1，1}。
本实施例中，用户设备通过物理上行共享信道PUSCH向基站发送重复指示消息对应的RV版本，其中，用户设备发送对应的RV版本是基于每一次的发送时刻发送的；例如，上一发送时刻，用户设备发送给基站的RV版本号为3，上一时刻对应的用户设备已经发送给基站的RV重复序列为：0、0、0、2、3、3，当前时刻用户设备发送给基站的RV版本号为1，则当前时刻用户设备已经发送给基站的RV重复序列为0、0、0、2、3、3、1，从而实现了基于基站发送的重复指示消息，设置动态变化的RV版本；由于基站发送的重复指示消息是基于解码和译码的成功情况，和/或信道质量确定的，从而提高了RV版本发送和重复次数确定的准确性，并提高了上行增强覆盖。
本申请实施例的上行覆盖增强方法，用户设备接收基站发送的重复指示消息，进而通过物理上行共享信道PUSCH向基站发送重复指示消息对应的RV版本。从而实现了基于基站发送的重复指示消息，设置动态变化的RV版本，由于基站发送的重复指示消息是基于解码和译码的成功情况，以及信道质量确定的，从而提高了RV重复方案的准确性，并提高了上行增强覆盖。
在一种可能的应用中，用户设备向基站发送RV版本时，会先确定RV起始版本信息，进而根据接收到的基站发送的重复指示消息，确定RV版本是否进行重复发送；如果进行重复发送，则确定重复发送的次数；如果不进行重复发送，则切换至下一个RV版本发送；这样可以提高RV版本重复发送的可靠性。为此，本申请实施例提供了另一种上行覆盖增强方法。具体说明了如何确定RV的起始版本以及RV版本的重复方案，并降低基站的开销。
如图2所示，该方法包含以下步骤：
步骤201，确定起始RV版本。
在本申请的所有实施例中，RV版本是指对应于RV的版本号的传输。
在一些实施例中，可以通过从基站接收到的起始RV版本指示消息，确定起始RV版本。在另一些实施例中，可以通过相关的通信标准确定起始RV版本；例如，相关的通信标准中确定了RV版本的发送顺序，则可以通过通信标准确定RV版本的发送顺序，当然也就可以确定起始RV版本。在又一些实施例中，可以通过基站与用户设备UE协商确定的发送顺 序，确定起始RV版本。在一些实施例中，可以通过存储在UE中的配置信息确定各版本RV的发送顺序；其中该配置信息可以是基站预先发送给UE的，也可以是预先就存储在UE中的。
在一些实施例中，可以通过从基站接收到的起始RV版本指示消息确定起始RV版本。其中，起始RV版本指示消息，指示了用户设备根据预设冗余版本RV序列向基站发送时，初始发送的RV版本；也就是说起始RV版本指示消息指示了用户设备根据冗余版本RV序列向基站发送时，是从哪一个RV版本开始发送的。
需要说明的是，本申请的一个实施例中，起始RV版本指示消息是基站根据检测得到的与用户设备的传输状态确定的，而传输状态可以分为新传状态和重传状态，而起始RV版本指示消息和传输状态具有对应关系，因此，为了便于区分，可在传输状态为新传状态时，向用户设备发送第一起始RV版本指示消息，其中，第一起始RV版本指示消息用于指示用户设备在第一发送时刻发送RV0；在传输状态为重传状态，则根据重传次数向用户设备发送非第一起始RV版本指示消息。
本实施例中，如果终端向基站发送新的包，则是新传状态，如果该包接收或者译码失败，则可以进行多次包重传，即进入重传状态，而重传次数和采用的预设冗余版本RV序列中的RV版本具有对应关系。为了便于区分，本实施例中，将基站与用户设备之间的新传状态，对应的起始RV版本指示消息称为第一起始RV版本指示消息；如果重传次数为一次，即第二次重传，则对应的起始RV版本指示消息称为第二起始RV版本指示消息；如果重传次数为二次，即第三次重传，则将第三次重传对应的起始RV版本指示消息称为第三起始RV版本指示消息，依次类推，本实施例中不一一列举。其中，不同起始RV版本指示消息指示的RV版本可以相同，也可以不同。
作为一种可能的实现方式，起始RV版本指示消息可以是基站通过下行控制信息DCI发送给用户设备的，其中，下行控制信息DCI由下行物理控制信道PDCCH承载。基站通过DCI中预留的2bit，发送RV起始版本指示消息。
例如，预设冗余版本RV序列为[0、2、3、1]，则RV起始版本指示消息为4种，例如，用户设备接收到基站通过DCI发送的为DCI00，则对应的是第一起始RV版本指示消息，用户设备接收到基站通过DCI发送的为DCI01，则对应的是第二起始RV版本指示消息，用户设备接收到基站通过DCI发送的为DCI10，则对应的是第三起始RV版本指示消息，用户设备接收到基站通过DCI发送的为DCI11，则对应的是第四起始RV版本指示消息。
需要说明的是，预设冗余版本RV序列中包含的RV版本数量为其它数量时，和上述RV版本为4个时，原理相同，本实施例中不再一一赘述。
步骤202，响应于确定起始RV版本，并在第一发送时刻发送起始RV版本。
在本申请的一个实施例中，预设冗余版本RV序列为[0、2、3、1]，例如，若用户设备与基站之间的连接为新传状态，则起始RV版本指示消息确定起始RV版本为RV0，则，则用户设备在第一发送时刻向基站发送的起始RV版本为RV0；若用户设备与基站之间新传失败，进行第一次重传，即重传次数为一次，RV版本指示消息确定起始RV版本为RV2，则用户设备向基站发送的起始RV版本为RV2；若用户设备与基站之间进行第二次重传，即重传次数为二次，起始RV版本指示消息确定起始RV版本为RV3，则用户设备向基站发送的起始RV版本为RV3；若用户设备与基站之间进行第三次重传，即重传次数为三次，起始RV版本指示消息确定起始RV版本为RV1，则用户设备向基站发送的起始RV版本为RV1。
需要说明的是，预设冗余版本RV序列为[0、3、0、3]时，和上述预设冗余版本RV序列为[0、2、3、1]时，确定起始RV版本的原理相同，本实施例中不再赘述。
步骤203，接收基站发送的与重复传输相关的重复指示消息。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例的上行覆盖增强方法可以应用在任意的用户设备中。用户设备可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备。用户设备可以经无线接入网(Radio Access Network，简称RAN)与一个或多个核心网进行通信，用户设备可以是物联网终端，如传感器设备、移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)和具有物联网终端的计算机，例如，可以是固定式、便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的装置。例如，站(Station，简称STA)、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、远程用户设备(remoteterminal)、接入终端(access terminal)、用户装置(user terminal)、用户代理(useragent)、或用户终端(User Equipment，简称UE)。或者，用户设备也可以是无人飞行器的设备。或者，用户设备也可以是车载设备，比如，可以是具有无线通信功能的行车电脑，或者是外接行车电脑的无线用户设备。或者，用户设备也可以是路边设备，比如，可以是具有无线通信功能的路灯、信号灯或者其它路边设备等。
本实施例中，用户设备接收基站发送的重复指示消息，其中，重复指示消息是基站根据物理上行共享信道PUSCH的信道质量，和/或PUSCH解码和译码是否成功来确定的，指示了当前需要发送的RV版本。本实施例中，是在现有的固定RV版本重复方案的基础上，由基站根据测量得到的信道质量，以及解码和译码的成功情况来确定的动态的RV版本重复方案，并将该动态的RV重复方案，以重复指示消息的方式发送至用户设备，用户设备根据获取的重复指示消息中包含的RV版本重复方案，不仅可以获取足够的冗余信息，实现上行增强覆盖，也提高了效率。
作为一种可能的实现方式，重复指示消息，可以是基站通过下行控制信息DCI发送给 用户设备的，其中，下行控制信息DCI由下行物理控制信道PDCCH承载。
作为另一种可能的实现方式，重复指示消息，可以是基站通过介质访问控制信令MAC发送给用户设备的。
步骤204，根据确定的接收基站发送的与重复传输相关的重复指示消息，通过上行信道向基站发送重复指示消息对应的RV版本。
在NR中，为了提升URLLC(Ultra-relaible and Low Latency Communication,极可靠低时延通信)的可靠性，用户设备通过上行信道(例如PUSCH)向基站发送上行传输；可通过重复多次以提高可靠性，而每次通过PUSCH发送上行传输，都会包含相应的RV版本，该RV版本是基于基站发送的重复指示消息确定的。其中，用户设备向基站发送RV版本是按照预设的冗余版本RV序列发送的，冗余版本RV序列中，包含多个RV版本号，多个RV版本是按照多个RV版本号预设的排列顺序发送的，也就是说发送的RV版本可以是预设冗余版本RV序列中的一个RV版本号所对应的RV版本。其中，不同的RV版本号所对应的RV版本中包含的冗余信息可以相同，也可以不同，本实施例中不进行限定。
作为一种可能的实现方式，预设冗余版本RV序列中包含的多个RV版本包含第一至第N个RV版本号，且第一至第N个版本号按照预设顺序排列，其中，N为正整数，例如，N为4或6等，本实施例中不进行限定。
为了便于说明，本实施例中，以预设冗余版本RV序列中包含的版本号为4个为例，进行说明，对于版本号N为其它数量的情况，原理相同，本实施例中不再赘述。
作为一种实现方式，版本数量N为4，则预设冗余版本RV序列为[0、2、3、1]，其中，0、2、3和1分别对应不同的RV的版本号，用户设备在向基站发送RV版本时，则是以该预设顺序排列的RV版本发送的。在一些可能的环境中，[0、2、3、1]的RV序列具有较好的译码性能，但是自解码能力较差。
作为示例性说明，RV的版本数量N为4，则预设冗余版本RV序列为[0、3、0、3]，其中，0和3分别对应不同的RV的版本号，用户设备在向基站发送RV版本时，则是以该预设顺序排列的RV版本发送的。在一些可能的环境中，[0、3、0、3]的RV序列译码性能和自解码性能较为均衡，其中不同的RV序列的解码和译码性能可以是通过仿真实验确定，也可以是实际应用中基于历史记录确定的，本实施例中不进行限定。
需要说明的是，本领域内技术人员可以理解，本实施例中的预设顺序只是举例说明，而并非对本申请的保护范围的限定。
而一些场景下，用户设备以预设冗余版本RV序列向基站发送时，会将预设冗余版本中包含的RV版本进行重复发送。在一些场景下，这种方式能够提高接收机频率跟踪的效果，或提升信道估计的精度；也就是说，用户设备通过PUSCH发送至基站的实际的RV序 列中存在RV版本重复发送的情况，称为RV重复序列。而相关技术中，RV重复序列中各版本的重复次数是相同的，并不是动态变化的。例如，对于RV重复序列中包含的16次重复，RV重复序列为{0，0，0，0，2，2，2，2，3，3，3，3，1，1，1，1}。然而，本申请中用户设备发送至基站的RV重复序列中的RV版本，是根据基站发送的重复指示消息确定的，即传输过程中的一个或多个的RV版本是动态变化的，并不是预先设定的固定RV版本。在一些实施方式中，一个或多个RV版本的重复次数也是由从基站获取到的重复指示消息确定的，也就是说RV重复序列中每一个RV版本重复的次数可以相同，也可以不同；RV重复序列中每一个RV版本重复的次数可以是预先设定的，也可以是基站动态配置的。例如，RV版本0重复发送了5次，RV版本2重复发送了3次，RV版本3重复发送了2次，RV版本1重复发送了6次，从而RV重复序列表示为{0，0，0，0，0，2，2，2，3，3，1，1，1，1，1，1}。
本实施例中，用户设备通过物理上行共享信道PUSCH向基站发送重复指示消息对应的RV版本，其中，用户设备发送对应的RV版本是基于每一次的发送时刻发送的，例如，上一发送时刻，用户设备发送给基站的RV版本为3，上一时刻对应的用户设备已经发送给基站的RV重复序列为：0、0、0、2、3、3，当前时刻用户设备发送给基站的RV版本为1，则当前时刻用户设备已经发送给基站的RV重复序列为0、0、0、2、3、3、1，从而实现了基于基站发送的重复指示消息，设置动态变化的RV版本，由于基站发送的重复指示消息是基于解码和译码的成功情况，和/或信道质量确定的，从而提高了RV版本发送和重复次数确定的准确性，并提高了上行增强覆盖。
需要理解的是，在用户设备通过物理上行共享信道PUSCH向基站发送起始RV版本指示消息对应的起始RV版本后，起始RV版本是重复发送还是按照RV序列中预设的RV版本顺序，切换至下一个RV版本，是根据获取的基站发送的与重复传输相关的指示消息确定的。
在本申请的一个实施例中，可根据获取的基站发送的与重复传输相关的指示消息来确定。基站每次发送与重复传输相关的指示消息，与重复传输相关的指示消息携带了当前要发送的RV版本的信息。在一些实施例中，该与重复传输相关的指示消息中可以直接的指示出当前用户设备需要传输至基站的相应RV版本号对应的RV版本，其中，RV版本中包含了冗余信息。
作为一种可能的实现方式，重复指示消息是通过DCI中的2个比特位发送的，例如，重复指示消息指示了RV版本号为3的RV版本，则DCI中的2个比特位的取值为11，之后，基站每次发送重复指示消息均消耗2比特的信令，例如，如果基站发送了16次重复指示消息，即RV版本重复次数为16次，基站的开销则为16*2＝32比特，则基站的开销较大， 会影响基站的整体性能。
从而，在本申请实施例的另一种可能的实现方式中，为了降低基站的信令开销，基站可通过设置重复指示标识来指示当前时刻对应的RV版本，其中，重复指示标识指示了当前要发送的RV版本是重复发送上一时刻对应的RV版本，还是切换至下一个RV版本。重复指示标识可通过一个比特位来实现，例如，标识为1，指示当前不重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本，即依顺序切换至下一个RV版本；标识为0，指示当前重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本，例如，如果基站发送了16次重复指示消息，即RV版本重复次数为16次，则基站的开销为1*16＝16比特，则降低了基站的信令开销，提高了基站的整体性能。
本实施例中，对于用户设备获取到的重复指示标识，作为一种可能的实现方式，可以是获取到的重复指示消息中包含的，即重复指示消息包括重复指示标识。作为另一种可能的实现方式，重复指示标识，也可以是在DCI触发或者是MAC触发时发送的。
下面通过不同的实现方式具体说明。
在本申请实施例的一种可能的实现方式中，重复指示消息包括重复指示标识，用户设备获取上一发送时刻发送的第i个RV版本，其中，i为小于或等于N的正整数，如果重复指示标识指示重复，则在当前发送时刻重复发送第i个RV版本，如果重复指示标识指示停止重复，则根据预设顺序确定第i+1个RV版本，并在当前发送时刻发送第i+1个RV版本。
作为一种可能的实现方式，重复指示标识可以是通过DCI中的一个预设比特位来指示，以指示用户设备是否重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本，例如，重复指示消息，采用DCI中预设的2比特位A和B来发送，而重复指示标识可以是DCI中的一个比特位D来指示，通过一个比特位降低了基站的信令消耗。例如比特位D标识为第一值(例如1或0)，指示当前不重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本，即依顺序切换至下一个RV版本；比特位D标识为第二值(例如0或1，不同于第一值)，指示当前重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本，从而实现了基于基站的指示确定是否重复发送RV版本，并可以确定RV版本重复的次数，提高了RV版本发送的灵活性和准确性。
作为一种可能的实现方式，重复指示标识可以是通过DCI中的一个预设比特位来指示，以指示用户设备是否重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本，例如，重复指示消息，采用DCI中预设的2比特位A和B来发送，而重复指示标识可以采用DCI中的一个比特位A或B来指示，通过一个比特位降低了基站的信令消耗。
需要说明的是，DCI中用于指示重复指示标识的一个比特位和DCI中用于指示起始RV版本指示消息的比特位不同。
在本申请实施例的另一种可能的实现方式中，重复指示标识是在DCI触发或者是MAC触发时发送的新的信令携带的，该新的信令即为重复指示消息，获取上一发送时刻发送的 第i个RV版本，其中，i为小于或等于N的正整数；在一些实施例中，判断当前发送时刻是否收到重复指示标识，如果收到重复指示标识，则根据预设顺序确定第i+1个RV版本，并在当前发送时刻发生第i+1个RV版本。在另一些实施例中，如果未收到重复指示标识，则在当前发送时刻重复发送第i个RV版本。上述方案实现了基于基站的指示确定是否重复发送RV版本，并可以确定RV版本重复的次数，提高了RV版本发送的灵活性和准确性。
需要说明的是，上述收到重复指示标识的实施例，以及上述未收到重复指示标识的实施例，是两个独立的实施例；这两个实施例可以各自独自被实施，也可以在一起被实施，本公开实施例并不对此做出限定。
其中，用户设备收到的重复指示标识，可以是基于DCI触发消息指示的，或者是基于MAC触发消息指示的，下面通过不同的实现方式具体说明。
作为一种可能的实现方式，用户设备收到的基站发送的重复指示标识，可以是基于DCI的触发消息来获取。在一些实施例中，若收到了触发消息，即收到重复指示标识，则认为指示当前不重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本，即依顺序切换至下一个RV版本。在另一些实施例中，若未收到触发消息，即未收到重复指示标识，则指示当前重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本。上述方案实现了基于基站的指示确定是否重复发送RV版本，并可以确定RV版本重复的次数，提高了RV版本发送的灵活性和准确性。
需要说明的是，上述收到重复指示标识的实施例，以及上述未收到重复指示标识的实施例，是两个独立的实施例；这两个实施例可以各自独自被实施，也可以在一起被实施，本公开实施例并不对此做出限定。
作为一种可能的实现方式，用户设备收到的基站发送的重复指示标识，可以是基于MAC的触发消息来获取。在一些实施例中，若收到了触发消息，即收到重复指示标识，则认为指示当前不重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本，即依顺序切换至下一个RV版本。在另一些实施例中，若未收到触发消息，即未收到重复指示标识，则指示当前重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本。在又一些实施例中，若收到了预设消息，则确定当前重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本，即依顺序切换至下一个RV版本。在再一些实施例中，若未收到预设消息，则确定当前重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本。上述方案实现了基于基站的指示确定是否重复发送RV版本，并可以确定RV版本重复的次数，提高了RV版本发送的灵活性和准确性。
需要理解的是，基站发送的重复指示消息是指示重复发送上一次发送的RV版本，还是顺序切换至下一个RV版本，是基于PUSCH解码译码性能和/或信道的质量确定的。
在本申请实施例中，用户设备在获取基站发送的重复指示消息之前，基站会检测用户设备的PUSCH信道的质量，用户设备的PUSCH信道质量由SNR(SIGNAL NOISE RATIO， 信噪比)、CQI(Channel Quality Indication,信道质量指示)或MCS(Modulation and Coding Scheme，调制编码方式)评估。
作为一种可能的实现方式，基站会检测用户设备的PUSCH信道的质量，并根据检测结果确定PUSCH信道的SNR，以根据SNR的取值确定PUSCH信道的质量，确定PUSCH信道质量大于或等于预设阈值，则发送第一重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备切换至下一个RV版本，以获取更多的冗余信息；确定PUSCH信道质量小于预设阈值，则发送第二重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备重复发送当前RV版本。
作为第二种可能的实现方式，基站根据获取到的用户设备发送的PUSCH的上行传输，确定解码是否成功，并根据检测结果确定PUSCH信道的SNR，根据SNR的取值确定PUSCH信道的质量。作为一种示例，若解码未成功，确定PUSCH信道质量大于或等于预设阈值，则发送第一重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备切换至下一个RV版本，以获取更多的冗余信息；作为另一种示例，确定PUSCH信道质量小于预设阈值，则发送第二重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备重复发送当前RV版本。
作为第三种可能的实现方式，基站根据获取到的用户设备发送的PUSCH的上行传输，获取BLER(block error rate，即误块率)传输，根据BLER确定译码性能，并根据检测结果确定PUSCH信道的SNR。作为一种示例，若根据SNR的取值确定PUSCH信道质量大于或等于预设阈值，若译码能力较差，则发送第一重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备切换至下一个RV版本，以获取更多的冗余信息；作为另一种示例，确定PUSCH信道质量小于预设阈值，则发送第二重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备重复发送当前RV版本。
作为第四种可能的实现方式，基站根据获取到的用户设备发送的PUSCH的上行传输，确定解码是否成功，并检测用户设备的PUSCH信道的质量，根据检测结果确定PUSCH信道的CQI或MCS，以根据CQI或MCS的取值确定PUSCH信道的质量，作为一种示例，若解码未成功，确定PUSCH信道质量大于或等于预设阈值，则发送第一重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备切换至下一个RV版本，以获取更多的冗余信息；作为另一种示例，确定PUSCH信道质量小于预设阈值，则发送第二重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备重复发送当前RV版本。
作为第五种可能的实现方式，基站根据获取到的用户设备发送的PUSCH的上行传输，获取BLER(block error rate，即误块率)传输，根据BLER确定译码性能，并根据检测结果确定PUSCH信道的CQI或MCS，作为一种示例，若根据CQI或MCS的取值确定PUSCH信道质量大于或等于预设阈值，若译码能力较差，则发送第一重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备切换至下一个RV版本，以获取更多的冗余信息；作为另一种示例，确定PUSCH信道质量小于预设阈值，则发送第二重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备重复发送当前RV版 本。
需要说明的是，本实施例中为了便于说明，将重复指示消息划分为第一重复指示消息和第二重复指示消息，是为了标识当前需要发送的RV版本，该RV版本可以是重复发送的上一时刻发送的RV版本，也可以是切换至的下一个RV版本。其中，上述针对重复指示消息的解释说明，也适用于第一重复指示消息和第二重复指示消息，不再赘述。
需要理解的是，基站确定已经解码成功，则基站指示用户设备不需要再发送RV版本，即停止继续发送RV版本，以避免重复发送，浪费信道资源。
本申请实施例的上行覆盖增强方法中，用户设备根据获取的基站发送的起始RV版本的指示消息，确定需要向基站发送的RV的起始版本，以实现在新传传输时，从RV序列的起始RV版本开始发送，并基于重传的次数，确定需要发送的RV版本，以提高获取到的冗余信息的数量，提高解码的成功率。进而，在确定用户设备发送的RV起始版本后，根据基站测量到的PUSCH信道的质量，在未解码成功的情况下，若信道质量好，则发送重复指示信息指示用户设备切换至下一个RV版本，以提高获取到的冗余信息的数量，提高后续基站解码的成功率，若信道质量不好，则发送重复指示信息指示用户设备继续重复发送上一次发送的RV版本，通过重复发送以确保基站获取到RV版本，以提高基站解码的成功率，同时，实现了灵活确定RV重复的情况，实现了RV重复方案的动态确定，提高了基站的覆盖性能。而重复指示信息可以通过DCI或MAC发送，并占用一个比特位指示，降低了基站发送的重复指示消息的开销，提高了整体的性能。
图3为本申请实施例所提供的又一种上行覆盖增强方法的流程示意图，应用于基站。
如图3所示，该方法包含以下步骤：
步骤301，检测用户设备的PUSCH信道质量。
申请实施例的上行覆盖增强方法可以应用在任意的基站中，基站可以包括多个为用户设备提供服务的小区。根据具体应用场合不同，基站又可以称为接入点，或者可以是接入网中在空中接口上通过一个或多个扇区与无线用户设备设备通信的设备，或者其它名称。基站可用于将收到的空中帧与网际协议(Internet Protocol，IP)分组进行相互更换，作为无线用户设备设备与接入网的其余部分之间的路由器，其中接入网的其余部分可包括网际协议(IP)通信网络。基站还可协调对空中接口的属性管理。例如，本申请实施例涉及的基站可以是全球移动通信系统(Global System for Mobile communications，GSM)或码分多址接入(Code Division Multiple Access，CDMA)中的网络设备(Base Transceiver Station，BTS)，也可以是带宽码分多址接入(Wide-band Code Division Multiple Access，WCDMA)中的基站(NodeB)，还可以是长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)系统中的演进型基站(evolutional Node B，eNB或e-NodeB)、5G网络架构(next generation system)中的5G基站(gNB)， 也可以是家庭演进基站(Home evolved Node B，HeNB)、中继节点(relay node)、家庭基站(femto)、微微基站(pico)等，本申请实施例中并不限定。在一些网络结构中，基站可以包括集中单元(centralized unit，CU)节点和分布单元(distributed unit，DU)节点，集中单元和分布单元也可以地理上分开布置。
其中，用户设备可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备。用户设备可以经无线接入网(Radio Access Network，简称RAN)与一个或多个核心网进行通信，用户设备可以是物联网用户设备，如传感器设备、移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)和具有物联网用户设备的计算机，例如，可以是固定式、便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的装置。例如，站(Station，简称STA)、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、远程用户设备(remoteterminal)、接入用户设备(access terminal)、用户装置(user terminal)、用户代理(useragent)、用户设备(user device)、或用户用户设备(User Equipment，简称UE)。或者，用户设备也可以是无人飞行器的设备。或者，用户设备也可以是车载设备，比如，可以是具有无线通信功能的行车电脑，或者是外接行车电脑的无线用户设备。或者，用户设备也可以是路边设备，比如，可以是具有无线通信功能的路灯、信号灯或者其它路边设备等。
本申请实施例中，基站会检测用户设备的PUSCH信道的质量，用户设备的PUSCH信道质量由SNR(SIGNAL NOISE RATIO，信噪比)、CQI(Channel Quality Indication，信道质量指示)或MCS(Modulation and Coding Scheme，调制编码方式)反应。
需要说明的是，本实施例的一种实现方式中，也可以根据SNR、CQI和MCS的任意两组或多种组合来确定PUSCH信道的质量，以提高信道质量确定的可靠性。
步骤302，根据PUSCH信道质量生成重复指示消息，并向用户设备发送重复指示消息。
其中，重复指示消息是基站根据物理上行共享信道PUSCH的信道质量，和/或根据从PUSCH获取到的传输确定解码或译码是否成功来确定的，指示了用户设备当前需要发送的RV版本。其中，RV版本是指对应于RV的版本号的传输。本实施例中，是在相关的固定RV版本重复方案的基础上，由基站根据测量得到的信道质量，和/或解码和译码的成功情况来确定的动态的RV版本重复方案，并将该动态的RV重复方案，以重复指示消息的方式发送至用户设备，用户设备根据获取的重复指示消息中包含的RV版本重复方案，不仅可以获取足够的冗余信息，实现上行增强覆盖，也提高了效率。
作为一种可能的实现方式，基站会检测用户设备的PUSCH信道的质量，并根据检测结果确定PUSCH信道的SNR，以根据SNR的取值确定PUSCH信道的质量，在一个实施例中，确定PUSCH信道质量大于或等于预设阈值，则发送第一重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备切换至下一个RV版本，以获取更多的冗余信息；在另一个实施例中，确定PUSCH 信道质量小于预设阈值，则发送第二重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备重复发送当前RV版本。
作为第二种可能的实现方式，基站根据获取到的用户设备发送的PUSCH的上行传输，确定解码是否成功，并根据检测结果确定PUSCH信道的SNR，根据SNR的取值确定PUSCH信道的质量。作为一种示例，若解码未成功，确定PUSCH信道质量大于或等于预设阈值，则发送第一重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备切换至下一个RV版本，以获取更多的冗余信息；作为另一种示例，确定PUSCH信道质量小于预设阈值，则发送第二重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备重复发送当前RV版本。
作为第三种可能的实现方式，基站根据获取到的用户设备发送的PUSCH的上行传输，获取BLER(block error rate，即误块率)传输，根据BLER确定译码性能，并根据检测结果确定PUSCH信道的SNR。作为一种示例，若根据SNR的取值确定PUSCH信道质量大于或等于预设阈值，若译码能力较差，则发送第一重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备切换至下一个RV版本，以获取更多的冗余信息；作为另一种示例，确定PUSCH信道质量小于预设阈值，则发送第二重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备重复发送当前RV版本。
作为第四种可能的实现方式，基站根据获取到的用户设备发送的PUSCH的上行传输，确定解码是否成功，并检测用户设备的PUSCH信道的质量，根据检测结果确定PUSCH信道的CQI或MCS，以根据CQI或MCS的取值确定PUSCH信道的质量，作为一种示例，若解码未成功，确定PUSCH信道质量大于或等于预设阈值，则发送第一重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备切换至下一个RV版本，以获取更多的冗余信息；作为另一种示例，确定PUSCH信道质量小于预设阈值，则发送第二重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备重复发送当前RV版本。
作为第五种可能的实现方式，基站根据获取到的用户设备发送的PUSCH的上行传输，获取BLER(block error rate，即误块率)传输，根据BLER确定译码性能，并根据检测结果确定PUSCH信道的CQI或MCS，作为一种示例，若根据CQI或MCS的取值确定PUSCH信道质量大于或等于预设阈值，若译码能力较差，则发送第一重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备切换至下一个RV版本，以获取更多的冗余信息；作为另一种示例，确定PUSCH信道质量小于预设阈值，则发送第二重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备重复发送当前RV版本。
作为一种可能的实现方式，重复指示消息，可以是基站通过下行控制信息DCI发送给用户设备的，其中，下行控制信息DCI由下行物理控制信道PDCCH承载。
作为另一种可能的实现方式，重复指示消息，可以是基站通过介质访问控制信令MAC发送给用户设备的。
需要说明的是，本实施例中为了便于说明，将重复指示消息划分为第一重复指示消息和第二重复指示消息，是为了标识当前需要发送的RV版本，该RV版本可以是重复发送的上一时刻发送的RV版本，也可以是切换至下一个RV版本。
需要理解的是，基站确定已经解码成功，则基站指示用户设备不需要再发送RV版本，即停止继续发送RV版本，以避免重复发送，浪费信道资源。
步骤303，接收用户设备根据重复指示消息发送的RV版本。
在本申请的所有实施例中，RV版本是指对应于RV的版本号的传输。
在NR通信业务中，为了提升URLLC(Ultra-relaible and Low Latency Communication,极可靠低时延通信)的可靠性，基站获取用户设备通过PUSCH发送上行传输，可通过重复多次以提高可靠性；而基站能够从接收到的用户设备通过上行信道(例如PUSCH)发送的上行传输，确定其所对应的RV版本，，该RV版本是用户设备基于基站发送的重复指示消息确定的。而基站获取的用户设备发送的RV版本的顺序是基于预设的冗余版本RV序列发送的，冗余版本RV序列中，包含多个RV版本，多个RV版本在预设冗余版本RV序列中按照预设顺序排列，也就是说基站获取到的RV版本是预设冗余版本RV序列中的一个版本。
作为一种可能的实现方式，预设冗余版本RV序列中包含的多个RV版本包含第一至第N个RV版本号，且第一至第N个版本号按照预设顺序排列，其中，N为正整数，例如，N为4或6等，本实施例中不进行限定。
为了便于说明，本实施例中，以预设冗余版本RV序列中包含的版本号为4个为例，进行说明，对于版本N为其它数量的情况，原理相同，本实施例中不再赘述。
作为一种实现方式，RV的版本数量N为4，则预设冗余版本RV序列为[0、2、3、1]，其中，0、2、3和1分别对应不同的RV的版本号，用户设备在向基站发送RV序列时，则是以该预设顺序排列的RV版本发送的。需要说明的是[0、2、3、1]的RV序列具有较好的译码性能，但是自解码能力较差。
作为另一种实现方式，RV的版本数量N为4，则预设冗余版本RV序列为[0、3、0、3]，其中，0和3分别对应不同的RV的版本号，用户设备在向基站发送RV序列时，则是以该预设顺序排列的RV版本发送的。
需要说明的是[0、3、0、3]的RV序列译码性能和自解码性能较为均衡，其中不同的RV序列的解码和译码性能可以是通过仿真实验确定，也可以是实际应用中基于历史记录确定的，本实施例中不进行限定。
而一些实施例中，基站获取到的用户设备发送的RV序列中，包含重复发送的RV版本，通过重复发送RV版本，以提高接收机频率跟踪的效果，或提升信道估计的精度。也就是 说，基站实际接收到的RV序列中存在RV版本重复发送的情况，称为RV重复序列。而相关技术中，RV重复序列中各版本的重复次数是相同的，并不是动态变化的。例如，对于RV重复序列中包含的16次重复，RV重复序列为{0，0，0，0，2，2，2，2，3，3，3，3，1，1，1，1}。然而，本申请中用户设备发送至基站的RV重复序列中的RV版本，是根据基站发送的重复指示消息确定的，即传输过程中的一个或多个的RV版本是动态变化的，一个或多个RV版本的重复次数也是由从基站获取到的重复指示消息确定的，也就是说RV重复序列中每一个RV版本重复的次数可以相同，也可以不同；RV重复序列中每一个RV版本重复的次数可以是预先设定的，也可以是基站动态配置的。例如，RV版本0重复发送了5次，RV版本2重复发送了3次，RV版本3重复发送了2次，RV版本1重复发送了6次，从而RV重复序列表示为{0，0，0，0，0，2，2，2，3，3，1，1，1，1，1，1}。
本实施例中，基站获取用户设备通过物理上行共享信道PUSCH发送的重复指示消息对应的RV版本，其中，用户设备发送对应的RV版本是基于每一次的发送时刻发送的，例如，上一发送时刻，基站获取到的RV版本为3，则上一时刻对应的基站获取到的RV重复序列为：0、0、0、2、3、3，当前时刻基站获取到的用户设备发送的RV版本为1，则当前时刻基站获取到的用户设备发送的RV重复序列为0、0、0、2、3、3、1，从而实现了基于基站发送的重复指示消息，设置动态变化的RV版本，由于基站发送的重复指示消息是基于解码和译码的成功情况，和/或信道质量确定的，从而提高了RV版本发送和重复次数确定的准确性，并提高了基站的增强覆盖。
本申请实施例的上行覆盖增强方法中，检测用户设备的PUSCH信道质量，根据PUSCH信道质量生成重复指示消息，并向用户设备发送重复指示消息，以及接收用户设备根据重复指示消息发送的RV版本，根据基站测量到的PUSCH信道的质量，生成对应的重复指示消息，以使得用户设备根据重复指示消息中指示的RV版本，以确定是否重复发送上一次发送的RV版本，或者是切换至下一个RV版本，实现了灵活确定RV重复的情况，实现了RV重复方案的动态确定，提高了基站的覆盖性能。
在一个实施例中，基站在获取用户设备发送的RV版本时，会先确定用户设备需要发送的RV起始版本信息，进而根据测量得到的信道的质量，确定重复指示消息，以使得用户设备根据重复指示信息确定RV版本是重复发送，或者是切换至下一个RV版本发送，以提高RV版本重复发送的可靠性，为此，本申请实施例提供了另一种上行覆盖增强方法。具体说明了如何确定RV的起始版本以及RV版本的重复情况，并降低基站的开销。
如图4所示，该方法包含以下步骤：
步骤401，检测与用户设备的传输状态。
其中，传输状态包含新传状态和重传状态。如果终端向基站发送新的包，则是新传状 态，如果该包接收或者译码失败，则可以进行多次包重传，即进入重传状态，而重传次数和采用的预设冗余版本RV序列中的RV版本具有对应关系。
步骤402，根据传输状态向用户设备发送起始RV版本指示消息。
其中，起始RV版本指示消息，指示了用户设备根据预设冗余版本RV序列向基站发送时，初始发送的RV版本，也就是说起始RV版本指示消息指示了用户设备根据冗余版本RV序列向基站发送时，是从哪一个RV版本开始发送的。其中，RV版本是指对应于RV的版本号的传输。
需要说明的是，本申请的一个实施例中，起始RV版本指示消息是基站根据检测得到的与用户设备的传输状态确定的，而传输状态可以分为新传状态和重传状态，而起始RV版本指示消息和传输状态具有对应关系，因此，为了便于区分，可在传输状态为新传状态时，向用户设备发送第一起始RV版本指示消息，其中，第一起始RV版本指示消息用于指示用户设备在第一发送时刻发送RV0；在连接状态为重传状态，则根据重传次数向用户设备发送非第一起始RV版本指示消息。
本实施例中，如果终端向基站发送新的包，则是新传状态，如果该包接收或者译码失败，则可以进行多次包重传，即进入重传状态，而重传次数和采用的预设冗余版本RV序列中的RV版本具有对应关系。为了便于区分，本实施例中，将基站与用户设备之间的新传状态，对应的起始RV版本指示消息称为第一起始RV版本指示消息；如果重传次数为一次，即第二次重传，则对应的起始RV版本指示消息称为第二起始RV版本指示消息；如果重传次数为二次，即第三次重传，则将第三次重传对应的起始RV版本指示消息称为第三起始RV版本指示消息，依次类推，本实施例中不一一列举。其中，不同起始RV版本指示消息指示的RV版本可以相同，也可以不同。作为一种可能的实现方式，上述起始RV版本指示消息可以是基站通过下行控制信息DCI发送给用户设备的，其中，下行控制信息DCI由下行物理控制信道PDCCH承载。基站通过DCI中预留的2bit，发送相应的RV起始版本指示消息。
例如，预设冗余版本RV序列为[0、2、3、1]，则RV起始版本指示消息为4种，例如，用户设备接收到基站通过DCI发送的为DCI00，则对应的是第一起始RV版本指示消息，用户设备接收到基站通过DCI发送的为DCI01，则对应的是第二起始RV版本指示消息，用户设备接收到基站通过DCI发送的为DCI10，则对应的是第三起始RV版本指示消息，用户设备接收到基站通过DCI发送的为DCI11，则对应的是第四起始RV版本指示消息。
需要说明的是，预设冗余版本RV序列中包含的RV版本号数量为其它数量时，和上述RV版本号为4个时，原理相同，本实施例中不再一一赘述。
在本申请的一个实施例中，预设冗余版本RV序列为[0、2、3、1]，例如，若用户设备 与基站之间的连接为新传状态，则起始RV版本指示消息确定起始RV版本为RV0，则，则用户设备在第一发送时刻向基站发送的起始RV版本为RV0；若用户设备与基站之间新传失败，进行第一次重传，即重传次数为一次，RV版本指示消息确定起始RV版本为RV2，则用户设备向基站发送的起始RV版本为RV2；若用户设备与基站之间进行第二次重传，即重传次数为二次，起始RV版本指示消息确定起始RV版本为RV3，则用户设备向基站发送的起始RV版本为RV3；若用户设备与基站之间进行第三次重传，即重传次数为三次，起始RV版本指示消息确定起始RV版本为RV1，则用户设备向基站发送的起始RV版本为RV1。
需要说明的是，预设冗余版本RV序列为[0、3、0、3]时，和上述预设冗余版本RV序列为[0、2、3、1]时，确定起始RV版本的原理相同，本实施例中不再赘述。
步骤403，检测用户设备的PUSCH信道质量。
申请实施例的上行覆盖增强方法可以应用在任意的基站中，基站可以包括多个为用户设备提供服务的小区。根据具体应用场合不同，基站又可以称为接入点，或者可以是接入网中在空中接口上通过一个或多个扇区与无线用户设备设备通信的设备，或者其它名称。基站可用于将收到的空中帧与网际协议(Internet Protocol，IP)分组进行相互更换，作为无线用户设备设备与接入网的其余部分之间的路由器，其中接入网的其余部分可包括网际协议(IP)通信网络。基站还可协调对空中接口的属性管理。例如，本申请实施例涉及的基站可以是全球移动通信系统(Global System for Mobile communications，GSM)或码分多址接入(Code Division Multiple Access，CDMA)中的网络设备(Base Transceiver Station，BTS)，也可以是带宽码分多址接入(Wide-band Code Division Multiple Access，WCDMA)中的基站(NodeB)，还可以是长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)系统中的演进型基站(evolutional Node B，eNB或e-NodeB)、5G网络架构(next generation system)中的5G基站(gNB)，也可以是家庭演进基站(Home evolved Node B，HeNB)、中继节点(relay node)、家庭基站(femto)、微微基站(pico)等，本申请实施例中并不限定。在一些网络结构中，基站可以包括集中单元(centralized unit，CU)节点和分布单元(distributed unit，DU)节点，集中单元和分布单元也可以地理上分开布置。
其中，用户设备可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备。
本申请实施例中，基站在向用户设备发送起始版本指示消息后，为了确定发送的重复指示消息，如何指示终端发送对应的RV版本，即是指示重复发送上一次发送的RV版本，还是顺序切换至下一个RV版本，基站会检测用户设备的PUSCH信道的质量，用户设备的PUSCH信道质量由SNR(SIGNAL NOISE RATIO，信噪比)、CQI(Channel Quality Indication,信道质量指示)或MCS(Modulation and Coding Scheme，调制编码方式)反应。
需要说明的是，本实施例的一种实现方式中，也可以根据SNR、CQI和MCS的任意两组或多种组合来确定PUSCH信道的质量，以提高信道质量确定的可靠性。步骤404，根据PUSCH信道质量生成重复指示消息，并向用户设备发送重复指示消息。
其中，重复指示消息是基站根据物理上行共享信道PUSCH的信道质量，和/或根据从PUSCH获取到的传输确定解码和译码是否成功来确定的，指示了用户设备当前需要发送的RV版本。在本申请的所有实施例中，RV版本是指对应于RV的版本号的传输。
作为一种可能的实现方式，基站会检测用户设备的PUSCH信道的质量，并根据检测结果确定PUSCH信道的SNR，以根据SNR的取值确定PUSCH信道的质量，在一个示例中，确定PUSCH信道质量大于或等于预设阈值，则发送第一重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备切换至下一个RV版本，以获取更多的冗余信息；在另一个示例中，确定PUSCH信道质量小于预设阈值，则发送第二重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备重复发送当前RV版本。
作为第二种可能的实现方式，基站根据获取到的用户设备发送的PUSCH的上行传输，确定解码是否成功，并根据检测结果确定PUSCH信道的SNR，根据SNR的取值确定PUSCH信道的质量。作为一种示例，若解码未成功，确定PUSCH信道质量大于或等于预设阈值，则发送第一重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备切换至下一个RV版本，以获取更多的冗余信息；作为另一种示例，确定PUSCH信道质量小于预设阈值，则发送第二重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备重复发送当前RV版本。
作为第三种可能的实现方式，基站根据获取到的用户设备发送的PUSCH的上行传输，获取BLER(block error rate，即误块率)传输，根据BLER确定译码性能，并根据检测结果确定PUSCH信道的SNR。作为一种示例，若根据SNR的取值确定PUSCH信道质量大于或等于预设阈值，若译码能力较差，则发送第一重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备切换至下一个RV版本，以获取更多的冗余信息；作为另一种示例，确定PUSCH信道质量小于预设阈值，则发送第二重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备重复发送当前RV版本。
作为第四种可能的实现方式，基站根据获取到的用户设备发送的PUSCH的上行传输，确定解码是否成功，并检测用户设备的PUSCH信道的质量，根据检测结果确定PUSCH信道的CQI或MCS，以根据CQI或MCS的取值确定PUSCH信道的质量，作为一种示例，若解码未成功，确定PUSCH信道质量大于或等于预设阈值，则发送第一重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备切换至下一个RV版本，以获取更多的冗余信息；作为另一种示例，确定PUSCH信道质量小于预设阈值，则发送第二重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备重复发送当前RV版本。
作为第五种可能的实现方式，基站根据获取到的用户设备发送的PUSCH的上行传输， 获取BLER(block error rate，即误块率)传输，根据BLER确定译码性能，并根据检测结果确定PUSCH信道的CQI或MCS，作为一种示例，若根据CQI或MCS的取值确定PUSCH信道质量大于或等于预设阈值，若译码能力较差，则发送第一重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备切换至下一个RV版本，以获取更多的冗余信息；作为另一种示例，确定PUSCH信道质量小于预设阈值，则发送第二重复指示消息，用于指示用户设备重复发送当前RV版本。
本实施例中，是在现有的固定RV版本重复方案的基础上，由基站根据测量得到的信道质量，和/或解码和译码的成功情况来确定的动态的RV版本重复方案，并将该动态的RV重复方案，以重复指示消息的方式发送至用户设备，用户设备根据获取的重复指示消息中包含的RV版本重复方案，不仅可以获取足够的冗余信息，实现上行增强覆盖，也提高了传输效率和可靠性。
作为一种可能的实现方式，重复指示消息，可以是基站通过下行控制信息DCI显示或隐式方式发送给用户设备的，其中，下行控制信息DCI由下行物理控制信道PDCCH承载。
作为另一种可能的实现方式，重复指示消息，可以是基站通过介质访问控制信令MAC发送给用户设备的。
需要说明的是，本实施例中为了便于说明，将重复指示消息划分为第一重复指示消息和第二重复指示消息，是为了标识当前需要发送的RV版本，该RV版本可以是重复发送的上一时刻发送的RV版本，也可以是切换至的下一个RV版本。
需要理解的是，基站确定已经解码成功，则基站指示用户设备不不需要再发送RV版本，即停止继续发送RV版本，以避免重复发送，浪费信道资源。
在本申请的一个实施例中，重复指示消息是通过DCI中的2个比特位发送的，例如，重复指示消息指示了RV版本号为3的RV版本，则DCI中的2个比特位的取值为11，之后，基站每次发送重复指示消息均消耗2比特的信令，例如，如果基站发送了16次重复指示消息，即RV版本重复次数为16次，基站的开销则为16*2＝32比特，则基站的开销较大，会影响基站的整体性能。。
从而，在本申请实施例的另一种可能的实现方式中，为了降低基站的信令开销，基站可通过设置重复指示标识来指示当前时刻对应的RV版本，其中，重复指示标识指示了当前要发送的RV版本是重复发送上一时刻对应的RV版本，还是切换至下一个RV版本。重复指示标识可通过一个比特位来实现，例如，标识为1，指示当前不重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本，即依顺序切换至下一个RV版本；标识为0，指示当前重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本，例如，如果基站发送了16次重复指示消息，即RV版本重复次数为16次，，则基站的开销为1*16＝16比特，则降低了基站的信令开销，提高了基站的整体性能。
本实施例中，对于用户设备获取到的重复指示标识，作为一种可能的实现方式，可以是获取到的重复指示消息中包含的，即重复指示消息包括重复指示标识。作为另一种可能的实现方式，重复指示标识，也可以是在DCI触发或者是MAC触发时发送的。
下面通过不同的实现方式具体说明。
在本申请实施例的一种可能的实现方式中，重复指示消息包括重复指示标识，用户设备获取上一发送时刻发送的第i个RV版本，其中，i为小于或等于N的正整数，如果重复指示标识指示重复，则在当前发送时刻重复发送第i个RV版本，如果重复指示标识指示停止重复，则根据预设顺序确定第i+1个RV版本，并在当前发送时刻发送第i+1个RV版本。
作为一种可能的实现方式，重复指示标识可以是通过DCI中的一个预设比特位来指示，以指示用户设备是否重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本；例如，重复指示消息，采用DCI中预设的2比特位A和B来发送，而重复指示标识可以是DCI中的一个比特位D来指示，通过一个比特位降低了基站的信令消耗。例如比特位D标识为第一值(例如1或0)，指示当前不重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本，即依顺序切换至下一个RV版本；比特位D标识为第二值(例如0或1，不同于第一值)，指示当前重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本，从而实现了基于基站的指示确定是否重复发送RV版本，并可以确定RV版本重复的次数，提高了RV版本发送的灵活性和准确性。
作为一种可能的实现方式，重复指示标识可以是通过DCI中的一个预设比特位来指示，以指示用户设备是否重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本，例如，重复指示消息，采用DCI中预设的2比特位A和B来发送，而重复指示标识可以采用DCI中的一个比特位A或B来指示，通过一个比特位降低了基站的信令消耗。
需要说明的是，DCI中用于指示重复指示标识的一个比特位和DCI中用于指示起始RV版本指示消息的比特位不同。
在本申请实施例的另一种可能的实现方式中，重复指示标识是在DCI触发或者是MAC触发时发送的新的信令携带的，该新的信令即为重复指示消息，获取上一发送时刻发送的第i个RV版本，其中，i为小于或等于N的正整数；在一些实施例中，判断当前发送时刻是否收到重复指示标识，如果收到重复指示标识，则根据预设顺序确定第i+1个RV版本，并在当前发送时刻发生第i+1个RV版本。在另一些实施例中，如果未收到重复指示标识，则在当前发送时刻重复发送第i个RV版本。上述方案实现了基于基站的指示确定是否重复发送RV版本，并可以确定RV版本重复的次数，提高了RV版本发送的灵活性和准确性。需要说明的是，上述收到重复指示标识的实施例，以及上述未收到重复指示标识的实施例，是两个独立的实施例；这两个实施例可以各自独自被实施，也可以在一起被实施，本公开实施例并不对此做出限定。
其中，用户设备收到的重复指示标识，可以是基于DCI触发消息指示的，或者是基于MAC触发消息指示的，下面通过不同的实现方式具体说明。
作为一种可能的实现方式，用户设备收到的基站发送的重复指示标识，可以是基于DCI的触发消息来获取。在一些实施例中，若收到了触发消息，即收到重复指示标识，则认为指示当前不重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本，即依顺序切换至下一个RV版本。在另一些实施例中，若未收到触发消息，即未收到重复指示标识，则指示当前重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本。上述方案实现了基于基站的指示确定是否重复发送RV版本，并可以确定RV版本重复的次数，提高了RV版本发送的灵活性和准确性。需要说明的是，上述收到重复指示标识的实施例，以及上述未收到重复指示标识的实施例，是两个独立的实施例；这两个实施例可以各自独自被实施，也可以在一起被实施，本公开实施例并不对此做出限定。
作为一种可能的实现方式，用户设备收到的基站发送的重复指示标识，可以是基于MAC的触发消息来获取。在一些实施例中，若收到了触发消息，即收到重复指示标识，则认为指示当前不重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本，即依顺序切换至下一个RV版本。在另一些实施例中，若未收到触发消息，即未收到重复指示标识，则指示当前重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本。在又一些实施例中，若收到了预设消息，则确定当前重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本，即依顺序切换至下一个RV版本。在再一些实施例中，若未收到预设消息，则确定当前重复发送上一时刻发送的RV版本。上述方案实现了基于基站的指示确定是否重复发送RV版本，并可以确定RV版本重复的次数，提高了RV版本发送的灵活性和准确性。
步骤405，确定用户设备根据重复指示消息发送的RV版本。
在NR通信业务中，为了提升URLLC(Ultra-relaible and Low Latency Communication,极可靠低时延通信)的可靠性，基站获取用户设备通过PUSCH发送上行传输，可通过重复多次以提高可靠性；而基站能够从接收到的用户设备通过上行信道(例如PUSCH)发送的上行传输，确定其所对应的RV版本，该RV版本是用户设备基于基站发送的重复指示消息确定的。而基站获取的用户设备发送的RV版本的顺序是基于预设的冗余版本RV序列发送的，冗余版本RV序列中，包含多个RV版本，多个RV版本在预设冗余版本RV序列中按照预设顺序排列，也就是说基站获取到的用户设备发送的RV版本是预设冗余版本RV序列中的一个版本。
作为一种可能的实现方式，预设冗余版本RV序列中包含的多个RV版本包含第一至第N个RV版本号，且第一至第N个版本号按照预设顺序排列，其中，N为正整数；例如，N为4或6等，本实施例中不进行限定。
为了便于说明，本实施例中，以预设冗余版本RV序列中包含的版本号为4个为例， 进行说明，对于版本N为其它数量的情况，原理相同，本实施例中不再赘述。
作为一种实现方式，RV的版本数量N为4，则预设冗余版本RV序列为[0、2、3、1]，其中，0、2、3和1分别对应不同的RV的版本号，用户设备在向基站发送RV序列时，则是以该预设顺序排列的RV版本发送的。本领域内技术人员可以理解，该预设顺序只是举例说明，而并非对本申请的保护范围的限定。在一些可能的环境中，[0、2、3、1]的RV序列具有较好的译码性能，但是自解码能力较差。
作为另一种实现方式，RV的版本数量N为4，则预设冗余版本RV序列为[0、3、0、3]，其中，0和3分别对应不同的RV的版本号，用户设备在向基站发送RV序列时，则是以该预设顺序排列的RV版本发送的。需要说明的是[0、3、0、3]的RV序列译码性能和自解码性能较为均衡，其中不同的RV序列的解码和译码性能可以是通过仿真实验确定，也可以是实际应用中基于历史记录确定的，本实施例中不进行限定。
在一种实现方式中，基站获取到的用户设备发送的RV序列中，包含重复发送的RV版本，通过重复发送RV版本，以提高接收机频率跟踪的效果，以及提升信道估计的精度，也就是说，基站实际接收到的RV序列中存在RV版本重复发送的情况，称为RV重复序列。而相关技术中，RV重复序列中各版本的重复次数是相同的，并不是动态变化的。例如，对于RV重复序列中包含的16次重复，RV重复序列为{0，0，0，0，2，2，2，2，3，3，3，3，1，1，1，1}。然而，本申请中用户设备发送至基站的RV重复序列中的RV版本，是根据基站发送的重复指示消息确定的，即传输过程中的一个或多个的RV版本是动态变化的，并不是预先设定的固定RV版本。在一些实施方式中，一个或多个RV版本的重复次数也是由从基站获取到的重复指示消息确定的，也就是说RV重复序列中每一个RV版本重复的次数可以相同，也可以不同；RV重复序列中每一个RV版本重复的次数可以是预先设定的，也可以是基站动态配置的。例如，RV版本0重复发送了5次，RV版本2重复发送了3次，RV版本3重复发送了2次，RV版本1重复发送了6次，从而RV重复序列表示为{0，0，0，0，0，2，2，2，3，3，1，1，1，1，1，1}。
本实施例中，基站获取用户设备通过物理上行共享信道PUSCH发送的重复指示消息对应的RV版本，其中，用户设备发送对应的RV版本是基于每一次的发送时刻发送的，例如，上一发送时刻，基站获取到的RV版本号为3，则上一时刻对应的基站获取到的RV重复序列为：0、0、0、2、3、3，当前时刻基站获取到的用户设备发送的RV版本号为1，则当前时刻基站获取到的用户设备发送的RV重复序列为0、0、0、2、3、3、1，从而实现了基于基站发送的重复指示消息，设置动态变化的RV版本，由于基站发送的重复指示消息是基于解码和译码的成功情况，和/或信道质量确定的，从而提高了RV版本发送和重复次数确定的准确性，并提高了基站的增强覆盖。
本申请实施例的上行覆盖增强方法中，用户设备根据获取的基站发送的起始RV版本的指示消息，确定需要向基站发送的RV的起始版本，以实现在建立新连接时，从RV序列的起始RV版本开始发送，并在连接断开需要重新连接时，基于连接的次数，确定需要发送的RV版本，以提高获取到的冗余信息的数量，提高解码的成功率。进而，在确定用户设备发送的RV起始版本后，根据基站测量到的PUSCH信道的质量，在未解码成功的情况下，若信道质量好，则发送重复指示信息指示用户设备切换至下一个RV版本，以提高获取到的冗余信息的数量，提高后续基站解码的成功率，若信道质量不好，则发送重复指示信息指示用户设备继续重复发送上一次发送的RV版本，通过重复发送以确保基站获取到RV版本，以提高基站解码的成功率，同时，实现了灵活确定RV重复的情况，实现了RV重复方案的动态确定，提高了基站的覆盖性能。而重复指示信息可以通过DCI或MAC发送，并占用一个比特位指示，降低了基站发送的重复指示消息的开销，提高了整体的性能。
为了实现上述实施例，本申请还提出一种上行覆盖增强装置。
图5为本申请实施例提供的一种上行覆盖增强装置的结构示意图，应用于用户设备。
如图5所示，该装置，包括：

其中，RV版本是指对应于RV的版本号的传输。
本申请实施例的上行覆盖增强装置，通过用户设备接收基站发送的重复指示消息，进而通过上行共享信道向基站发送重复指示消息对应的RV版本。从而实现了基于基站发送的重复指示消息，设置动态变化的RV版本，由于基站发送的重复指示消息是基于解码和译码的成功情况，以及信道质量确定的，从而提高了RV重复方案的准确性，并提高了基站的增强覆盖。

在本申请实施例的另一种可能的实现方式中，该装置还包括：确定模块。
确定模块，还用于确定起始RV版本。
发送模块52，还用于根据所述起始RV版本指示消息确定起始RV版本，并发送所述起始RV版本。
需要说明的是，前述对图1和图2所示的上行覆盖增强方法实施例的解释说明也适用于该实施例的上行覆盖增强装置，原理相同，此处不再赘述。
本申请实施例的上行覆盖增强装置中，用户设备根据获取的基站发送的起始RV版本的指示消息，确定需要向基站发送的RV的起始版本，以实现在建立新连接时，从RV序列的起始RV版本开始发送，并在连接断开需要重新连接时，基于连接的次数，确定需要发送的RV版本，以提高获取到的冗余信息的数量，提高解码的成功率。进而，在确定用户设备发送的RV起始版本后，根据基站测量到的PUSCH信道的质量，在未解码成功的情况下，若信道质量好，则发送重复指示信息指示用户设备切换至下一个RV版本，以提高获取到的冗余信息的数量，提高后续基站解码的成功率，若信道质量不好，则发送重复指示信息指示用户设备继续重复发送上一次发送的RV版本，通过重复发送以确保基站获取到RV版本，以提高基站解码的成功率，同时，实现了灵活确定RV重复的情况，实现了RV重复方案的动态确定，提高了基站的覆盖性能。而重复指示信息可以通过DCI或MAC发送，并占用一个比特位指示，降低了基站发送的重复指示消息的开销，提高了整体的性能。
为了实现上述实施例，本申请还提出一种上行覆盖增强装置。

其中，RV版本是指对应于RV的版本号的传输。
在实际使用时，本申请实施例提供的上行覆盖增强装置，可以被配置在任意基站中，以执行前述上行覆盖增强方法。
本申请实施例的上行覆盖增强装置中，检测用户设备的PUSCH信道质量，根据PUSCH信道质量生成重复指示消息，并向用户设备发送重复指示消息，以及接收用户设备根据重复指示消息发送的RV版本，根据基站测量到的PUSCH信道的质量，生成对应的重复指示消息，以使得用户设备根据重复指示消息中指示的RV版本，以确定是否重复发送上一次发送的RV版本，或者是切换至下一个RV版本，实现了灵活确定RV重复的情况，实现了RV重复方案的动态确定，提高了基站的覆盖性能。
在本申请一种可能的实现形式中，其中，用户设备以预设冗余版本RV序列向基站发送RV版本，其中，RV序列包括多个RV版本号，每个RV版本号的重复次数由重复指示消息确定。
在本申请一种可能的实现形式中，所述多个RV版本包括第一至第N个RV版本号，且所述第一至第N个版本号按照预设顺序排列，其中，N为正整数。
在本申请一种可能的实现形式中，N为4，所述预设顺序为{0,2,3,1}，其中，0、1、2、3为所述RV的版本号。
在本申请一种可能的实现形式中，上述处理模块62，具体用于：

为了实现上述实施例，本申请还提出一种计算机存储介质。
本申请实施例提供的计算机存储介质，存储有可执行程序；所述可执行程序被处理器执行后，能够实现前述任意技术方案提供的上行覆盖增强方法，例如，如图1至图4的至少其中之一。
如图7所示，是根据本发明实施例的上行覆盖增强设备的框图。通信设备旨在表示各种形式的数字计算机，诸如，膝上型计算机、台式计算机、工作台、个人数字助理、服务 器、刀片式服务器、大型计算机、和其它适合的计算机。通信设备还可以表示各种形式的移动装置，诸如，个人数字处理、蜂窝电话、智能电话、可穿戴设备和其它类似的计算装置。本文所示的部件、它们的连接和关系、以及它们的功能仅仅作为示例，并且不意在限制本文中描述的和/或者要求的本发明的实现。
