值得指出的是,本申请实施例所描述的技术不限于长期演进型(Long Term Evolution,LTE)/LTE的演进(LTE-Advanced,LTE-A)系统,还可用于其他无线通信系统,诸如码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)、时分多址(Time Division Multiple Access,TDMA)、频分多址(Frequency Division Multiple Access,FDMA)、正交频分多址(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access,OFDMA)、单载波频分多址(Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access,SC-FDMA)和其他系统。本申请实施例中的术语“系统”和“网络”常被可互换地使用,所描述的技术既可用于以上提及的系统和无线电技术,也可用于其他系统和无线电技术。以下描述出于示例目的描述了新空口(New Radio,NR)系统,并且在以下大部分描述中使用NR术语,但是这些技术也可应用于NR系统应用以外的应用,如第6代(6th Generation,6G)通信系统。
图1示出本申请实施例可应用的一种无线通信系统的框图。无线通信系统包括终端11和网络侧设备12。其中,终端11也可以称作终端设备或者用户终端(User Equipment,UE),终端11可以是手机、平板电脑(Tablet Personal Computer)、膝上型电脑(Laptop Computer)或称为笔记本电脑、个人数字助理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)、掌上电脑、上网本、超级移动个人计算机(ultra-mobile personal computer,UMPC)、移动上网装置(Mobile Internet Device,MID)、可穿戴式设备(Wearable Device)或车载设备(VUE)、行人终端(PUE)等终端侧设备,可穿戴式设备包括:手环、耳机、眼镜等。需要说明的是,在本申请实施例并不限定终端11的具体类型。网络侧设备12可以是基站或核心网,其中,基站可被称为节点B、演进节点B、接入点、基收发机站(Base Transceiver Station,BTS)、无线电基站、无线电收发机、 基本服务集(Basic Service Set,BSS)、扩展服务集(Extended Service Set,ESS)、B节点、演进型B节点(eNB)、家用B节点、家用演进型B节点、WLAN接入点、WiFi节点、发送接收点(Transmitting Receiving Point,TRP)或所述领域中其他某个合适的术语,只要达到相同的技术效果,所述基站不限于特定技术词汇,需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中仅以NR系统中的基站为例,但是并不限定基站的具体类型。
下面将对本申请中的术语进行相应的说明;
一、人工智能(Artificial Intelligence,AI)
人工智能,目前在各个领域获得了广泛的应用。AI有多种实现方式,例如神经网络、决策树、支持向量机、贝叶斯分类器等。本申请以神经网络为例进行说明,但是并不限定AI网络的具体类型。一个神经网络如图2所示,其中,神经网络由神经元组成,神经元的示意如图3所示,其中,a1,a2,…aK为输入,w为权值(乘性系数),b为偏置(加性系数),σ(.)为激活函数;其中,常见的激活函数包括Sigmoid、tanh、线性整流函数,修正线性单元(Rectified Linear Unit,ReLU)等等。
神经网络的参数通过优化算法进行优化,其中,优化算法就是一种能够帮我们最小化或者最大化目标函数(有时候也叫损失函数)的一类算法。而目标函数往往是模型参数和数据的数学组合。例如,给定数据X和其对应的标签Y,构建一个神经网络模型f(.),有了模型后,根据输入x就可以得到预测输出f(x),并且可以计算出预测值和真实值之间的差距(f(x)-Y),这个就是损失函数。目的是找到合适的W,b使上述的损失函数的值达到最小,损失值越小,则说明模型越接近于真实情况。
目前常见的优化算法,基本都是基于误差反向传播(error Back Propagation,BP)算法。BP算法的基本思想是,学习过程由信号的正向传播与误差的反向传播两个过程组成。正向传播时,输入样本从输入层传入,经各隐层逐层处理后,传向输出层。若输出层的实际输出与期望的输出不符,则转入误差的反向传播阶段。误差反传是将输出误差以某种形式通过隐层向输入层逐层反传,并将误差分摊给各层的所有单元,从而获得各层单元的误差信号,此误差信号即作为修正各单元权值的依据。这种信号正向传播与误 差反向传播的各层权值调整过程,是周而复始地进行的。权值不断调整的过程,也就是网络的学习训练过程。此过程一直进行到网络输出的误差减少到可接受的程度,或进行到预先设定的学习次数为止。
常见的优化算法有梯度下降(Gradient Descent,GD)、随机梯度下降(Stochastic Gradient Descent,SGD)、小批量梯度下降(mini-batch gradient descent)、动量法(Momentum)、带动量的随机梯度下降(Nesterov)、自适应梯度下降(ADAptive GRADient descent,Adagrad)、自适应学习率(Adadelta)、均方根误差降速(root mean square prop,RMSprop)、自适应动量估计(Adaptive Moment Estimation,Adam)等。
这些优化算法在误差反向传播时,都是根据损失函数得到的误差/损失,对当前神经元求导数/偏导,加上学习速率、之前的梯度/导数/偏导等影响,得到梯度,将梯度传给上一层。
二、关于多天线
长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)/长期演进技术升级版(LTE-Advanced,LTE-A)等无线接入技术标准都是以多进多出(multiple-in multiple-out,MIMO)+正交频分复用技术(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)技术为基础构建起来的。其中,MIMO技术利用多天线系统所能获得的空间自由度,来提高峰值速率与系统频谱利用率。
在标准化发展过程中MIMO技术的维度不断扩展。在LTE Rel-8中,最多可以支持4层的MIMO传输。在Rel-9中增强MU-MIMO(Multi-User MIMO)技术,TM(Transmission Mode)-8的MU-MIMO传输中最多可以支持4个下行数据层。在Rel-10中将SU-MIMO(Single-User MIMO)的传输能力扩展至最多8个数据层。
产业界正在进一步地将MIMO技术向着三维化和大规模化的方向推进。目前,3GPP已经完成了3D信道建模的研究项目,并且正在开展eFD-MIMO和NR MIMO的研究和标准化工作。可以预见,在未来的5G移动通信系统中,更大规模、更多天线端口的MIMO技术将被引入。
Massive MIMO技术使用大规模天线阵列,能够极大地提升系统频带利用效率,支持更大数量的接入用户。因此各大研究组织均将massive MIMO技 术视为下一代移动通信系统中最有潜力的物理层技术之一。
在massive MIMO技术中如果采用全数字阵列,可以实现最大化的空间分辨率以及最优MU-MIMO性能,但是这种结构需要大量的AD/DA转换器件以及大量完整的射频-基带处理通道,无论是设备成本还是基带处理复杂度都将是巨大的负担。
为了避免上述的实现成本与设备复杂度,数模混合波束赋形技术应运而生,即在传统的数字域波束赋形基础上,在靠近天线系统的前端,在射频信号上增加一级波束赋形。模拟赋形能够通过较为简单的方式,使发送信号与信道实现较为粗略的匹配。模拟赋形后形成的等效信道的维度小于实际的天线数量,因此其后所需的AD/DA转换器件、数字通道数以及相应的基带处理复杂度都可以大为降低。模拟赋形部分残余的干扰可以在数字域再进行一次处理,从而保证MU-MIMO传输的质量。相对于全数字赋形而言,数模混合波束赋形是性能与复杂度的一种折中方案,在高频段大带宽或天线数量很大的系统中具有较高的实用前景。
三、关于高频段
在对4G以后的下一代通信系统研究中,将系统支持的工作频段提升至6GHz以上,最高约达100GHz。高频段具有较为丰富的空闲频率资源,可以为数据传输提供更大的吞吐量。目前3GPP已经完成了高频信道建模工作,高频信号的波长短,同低频段相比,能够在同样大小的面板上布置更多的天线阵元,利用波束赋形技术形成指向性更强、波瓣更窄的波束。因此,将大规模天线和高频通信相结合,也是未来的趋势之一。
四、关于波束测量和报告(beam measurement and beam reporting)
模拟波束赋形是全带宽发射的,并且每个高频天线阵列的面板上每个极化方向阵元仅能以时分复用的方式发送模拟波束。模拟波束的赋形权值是通过调整射频前端移相器等设备的参数来实现。
目前在学术界和工业界,通常是使用轮询的方式进行模拟波束赋形向量的训练,即每个天线面板每个极化方向的阵元以时分复用方式依次在约定时间发送训练信号(即候选的赋形向量),终端经过测量后反馈波束报告,供网络侧在下一次传输业务时采用该训练信号来实现模拟波束发射。波束报告的 内容通常包括最优的若干个发射波束标识以及测量出的每个发射波束的接收功率。
在做波束测量时,网络会配置参考信号资源集合(RS resource set),其中包括至少一个参考信号资源,例如SSB resource或CSI-RS resource。UE测量每个RS resource的L1-RSRP/L1-SINR,并将最优的至少一个测量结果上报给网络,上报内容包括SSBRI或CRI、及L1-RSRP/L1-SINR。该报告内容反映了至少一个最优的波束及其质量,供网络确定用来向UE发送信道或信号的波束。
五、关于波束指示(beam indication)机制
在经过波束测量和波束报告后,网络可以对下行与上行链路的信道或参考信号做波束指示,用于网络与UE之间建立波束链路,实现信道或参考信号的传输。
对于物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)的波束指示,网络使用无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令为每个控制资源集CORESET配置K个传输配置指示(Transmission Configuration Indication,TCI)state,当K>1时,由媒体接入控制层控制单元(Media Access Control Control Element,MAC CE)指示或激活1个TCI state,当K=1时,不需要额外的MAC CE命令。UE在监听PDCCH时,对CORESET内全部search space使用相同准共址(Quasi-colocation,QCL),即相同的TCI state来监听PDCCH。该TCI状态中的参考信号(Reference Signal,RS),例如周期信道状态信息参考信号(Channel State Information Reference Signal,CSI-RS)resource、半持续CSI-RS resource、SS block等,与UE-specific PDCCH DMRS端口是空间QCL的。UE根据该TCI状态即可获知使用哪个接收波束来接收PDCCH。
对于PDSCH的波束指示,网络通过RRC信令配置M个TCI state,再使用MAC CE命令激活2N个TCI state,然后通过DCI的N-bit TCI field来通知TCI状态,该TCI状态中的RS与要调度的PDSCH的DMRS端口是QCL的。UE根据该TCI状态即可获知使用哪个接收波束来接收PDSCH。
对于CSI-RS的波束指示,当CSI-RS类型为周期CSI-RS时,网络通过 RRC信令为CSI-RS resource配置QCL信息。当CSI-RS类型为半持续CSI-RS时,网络通过MAC CE命令来从RRC配置的CSI-RS resource set中激活一个CSI-RS resource时指示其QCL信息。当CSI-RS类型为非周期CSI-RS时,网络通过RRC信令为CSI-RS resource配置QCL,并使用DCI来触发CSI-RS。
对于PUCCH的波束指示,网络使用RRC信令通过参数PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo为每个PUCCH resource配置空间关系信息(spatial relation information),当为物理上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel,PUCCH)resource配置的空间关系信息包含多个时,使用MAC-CE指示或激活其中一个空间关系信息。当为PUCCH resource配置的空间关系信息只包含1个时,不需要额外的MAC CE命令。
对于物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,PUSCH)的波束指示,PUSCH的空间关系信息是当PDCCH承载的DCI调度PUSCH时,DCI中的SRI field的每个SRI codepoint指示一个SRI,该SRI用于指示PUSCH的空间关系信息。
对于SRS的波束指示,当SRS类型为周期SRS时,网络通过RRC信令为SRS resource配置空间关系信息。当SRS类型为半持续SRS时,网络通过MAC CE命令来从RRC配置的一组空间关系信息中激活一个。当SRS类型为非周期SRS时,网络通过RRC信令为SRS resource配置空间关系信息。
需要说明的是,本申请中所涉及的波束信息、空间关系信息、空间域传输滤波器(spatial domain transmission filter)信息、空间滤波器(spatial filter)信息、TCI state信息、QCL信息、QCL参数、空间关系信息等,其含义是相近似的。
其中,下行波束信息通常可使用TCI state信息、QCL信息表示。上行波束信息通常可使用空间关系信息表示。
六、波束失败恢复(beam failure recovery)机制
在高频段通信系统中,由于无线信号的波长较短,较容易发生信号传播被阻挡等情况,导致信号传播中断。如果采用相关技术中的无线链路重建,则耗时较长,因此引入了波束失败恢复机制,该机制分为下面四个内容:
光束故障检测(Beam failure detection):终端在物理层对波束失败检测参 考信号(Beam Failure Detection Reference Signal,BFD RS)进行测量,并根据测量结果来判断是否发生波束失败事件。判断的条件是:如果检测出全部服务梁(serving beam)的metric(hypothetical PDCCH BLER)满足预设条件(超过预设阈值),则确定为一次波束失败实例(Beam Failure Instance,BFI),UE物理层上报给UE高层(MAC层)一个指示,该上报过程是周期的,BFI上报周期为BFD RS的最短周期,下界是2ms。反之,如果UE物理层确定没有发生BFI(beam failure instance),则不向高层发送指示。UE高层使用计数器(counter)和定时器(timer)对物理层上报的BFI进行计数,每收到BFI则重启定时器(timer),定时器超时则计数器(counter)重新计数,当计数器达到网络配置的最大次数时,UE声明发生了波束失败事件。相关技术中UE的MAC层的定时器和计数器是对每个active BWP配置的,每个BWP上的定时器和计数器的启动和维护是独立的,即每个BWP的定时器和计数器独立工作,包括启动、重置、计数、计时等。
新的候选波束识别(New candidate beam identification):终端物理层测量候选波束参考信号(candidate beam RS),寻找新的候选波束。本步骤不强制在波束失败事件(beam failure event)发生后,也可以在之前。当UE物理层收到来自UE高层(MAC层)的请求或指示或通知时,将满足预设条件(对候选波束参考信号(candidate beam RS)的测量L1-RSRP超过预设门限)的测量结果上报给UE高层,上报内容为{beam RS index,L1-RSRP},UE高层基于物理层的上报,来选择候选波束(candidate beam)。
波束失败恢复请求(Beam failure recovery request,BFRQ):UE高层(MAC层)根据所选候选波束来确定PRACH resource。如果UE找到了候选波束且配置了无竞争PRACH资源,则使用无竞争的PRACH上向基站发送上述BFRQ。否则,UE可以使用基于竞争的PRACH资源。当BFRQ超时后只能使用基于竞争的PRACH资源。两种PRACH资源使用的总次数不能超过预设计数值。此处的无竞争PRACH资源,与其它PRACH资源(如用于初始接入的PRACH资源)可以是FDM或CDM。此外,相关技术中,也支持PUCCH发送BFRQ。
波束失败恢复响应(Beam failure recovery response,BFRR):基站接收 到该BFRQ后,会在配置的CORESET-BFR上的dedicated PDCCH中发送响应(response),并携带小区无线网络临时标识(Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier,C-RNTI),并还有可能包括切换至新候选波束、或重新启动波束搜索、或其它指示。CORESET-BFR与UE找到的候选波束的下行RS是空间QCL的。如果波束失败恢复不成功,则UE物理层向UE高层发送一个指示,供高层确定后续的无线链路失败过程。
对于多载波的场景,如载波聚合(Carrier Aggregation,CA),有多个载波(carrier),或多个成员载波CC,或多个小区(cell),其中,存在一个主小区,如主小区组(master cell group,MCG)中的主小区(Primary cell,PCell),或辅小区组(secondary cell group,SCG)中的主辅小区(Primary secondary cell,PSCell)和至少一个辅小区(Secondary cell,Scell)。
