为便于理解本申请实施例的技术方案,以下对本申请实施例的相关技术进行说明,以下相关技术作为可选方案与本申请实施例的技术方案可以进行任意结合,其均属于本申请实施例的保护范围。
下行控制信道包括控制信道单元(CCE,Control-Channel Element)、搜索空间(Search Space)、资源单元组(REG,Resource-Element Group)、资源单元组束(REG bundle)和控制资源集合(CORESET,control resource set)等。
CCE是构成PDCCH的基本单位,占用频域上6个REG。一个给定的PDCCH可由1个、2个、4个、8个和16个CCE构成,构成PDCCH的CCE数量被称为聚合等级(AL,Aggregation Level)。
搜索空间(SS,Search Space)是某个聚合等级下候选PDCCH(PDCCH candidate)的集合,候选PDCCH也可以称为PDCCH候选。基站实际发送的PDCCH的聚合等级随时间可变,而且由于没有相关信令告知UE,因此UE需在不同聚合等级下盲检测(盲检测也可以称为盲检)PDCCH,其中待盲检测的PDCCH称为候选PDCCH。
每个搜索空间关联一个控制资源集合(CORESET,Control Resource Set),不同搜索空间可以关联相同或不同的CORESET。CORESET指定了搜索空间中的候选PDCCH所在的频域位置和时域符号个数。搜索空间和CORESET确定了进行PDCCH盲检测的时频资源范围,PDCCH只会在搜索空间和CORESET确定的时频资源范围内传输。终端设备可以支持多个CORESET,终端设备支持的CORESET通过配置信息确定。
在NR技术中,为终端设备配置的候选PDCCH可以超过UE盲检测能力的上限,此时UE根据预定义的机制在配置的候选PDCCH集合内确定配置的候选PDCCH的子集作为待检测的候选PDCCH集合。
为了在配置的候选PDCCH集合内确定待检测的子集,需要定义UE的最大盲检测能力,其中,最大盲检测能力包括每个时隙或每个时间跨度(span)内终端设备能够检测的最大候选PDCCH数和最大无重叠CCE(non-overlapped CCE)数目。
在已有的技术中,由于每个CORESET同时只能激活一个TCI state,因此每个CORESET所对应的搜索空间只会有一个TRP进行PDCCH的传输。但是对于基于multi-TRP传输的PDCCH,一个CORESET可以关联2个TCI states进行PDCCH传输,因此多个TRP可以通过同一个CORESET进行PDCCH的SFN传输,此时多个TRP占用了相同的CCE;面对这种情况,终端设备在进行盲检测时如何计算这部分的CCE数目,是当前需要解决的问题。
在本申请实施例中,针对基于multi-TRP传输PDCCH的应用场景,终端设备能够确定搜索空间对应的无重叠CCE的数量,并基于此确定进行PDCCH盲检测的搜索空间。
本申请实施例提出一种确定搜索空间的方法,图2是根据本申请实施例的一种确定搜索空间的方法200的示意性流程图,该方法可选地可以应用于图1所示的系统,利用应用于图1中的终端设备,但并不仅限于此。该方法包括以下内容的至少部分内容:
S210:终端设备接收指示信息,该指示信息指示:网络设备在第一时频资源上通过至少2个不同的TCI状态传输第一搜索空间中的至少一个候选PDCCH;该第一搜索空间与第一CORESET关联,该第一CORESET与该至少2个不同的TCI状态关联;
其中,该第一时频资源由该第一搜索空间和该第一CORESET共同确定;
S220:根据指示信息,终端设备确定在第一时间单元上需要侦听的多个搜索空间中,该第一搜索空间中检测的无重叠CCE的数目;其中,该第一时间单元在该第一时频资源范围内。
其中,上述第一搜索空间是仅关联了一个CORESET的搜索空间。
上述第一时间单元可以包括时隙(slot)和/或时间跨度(span)。
终端设备在确定第一搜索空间中检测的无重叠CCE的数目时,除了根据上述指示信息、还可以结合预先收到的配置信息进行确定。该配置信息至少包括以下至少一项:
为终端设备配置的搜索空间;
为终端设备配置的CORESET;
搜索空间与CORESET的对应关系;
为终端设备配置的CORESET中的第一CORESET。
图3是根据本申请实施例的一种确定搜索空间的方法中,第一搜索空间中检测的无重叠CCE的数目的确定方式300流程图。如图3所示,在一些实施方式中,第一搜索空间中检测的无重叠CCE的数目的确定方式包括:
S310:确定第一搜索空间占用的无重叠CCE;其中,该第一搜索空间占用的无重叠CCE的包括:第一搜索空间配置的所有候选PDCCH占用的CCE;
S320:根据上述指示信息,确定第一搜索空间占用的各个无重叠CCE中,每个无重叠CCE对应的TCI状态的个数;
S330:根据上述每个无重叠CCE对应的TCI状态的个数,确定该第一搜索空间中检测的无重叠CCE的数目。
可选地,上述S310中,终端设备确定第一搜索空间占用的无重叠CCE,包括:终端设备确定第一搜索空间中所有候选PDCCH占用的CCE;根据所有候选PDCCH占用的CCE,确定该第一搜索空间占用的无重叠CCE;其中,该第一搜索空间占用的各个无重叠CCE对应不同的CCE索引。
例如,搜索空间SS 0配置有2个候选PDCCH,2个候选PDCCH的标识分别为PDCCH 1和PDCCH 2。其中,PDCCH 1占用8个CCE,其索引分别为CCE 0~CCE 7;PDCCH 2占用4个CCE,其索引分别为CCE 6~CCE 9。那么,搜索空间SS 0占用的无重叠CCE包括其配置的所有候选PDCCH(即PDCCH 1和PDCCH 2)占用的CCE,即CCE 0~CCE 9;其中,各个无重叠CCE对应不同的CCE索引。
再如,搜索空间SS 1配置有3个候选PDCCH,3个候选PDCCH的标识分别为PDCCH 1、PDCCH 2和PDCCH 3。其中,PDCCH 1占用8个CCE,其索引分别为CCE 0~CCE 7;PDCCH 2占用2个CCE,其索引分别为CCE 6~CCE 7;PDCCH 3占用8个CCE,其索引分别为CCE 2~CCE 9;那么,搜索空间SS 1占用的无重叠CCE包括其配置的所有候选PDCCH(即PDCCH 1、PDCCH 2和PDCCH 3)占用的CCE,即CCE 0~CCE 9;其中,各个无重叠CCE对应不同的CCE索引。
进一步地,如果搜索空间SS 0仅与CORESET 1关联,其中CORESET 1与2个TCI状态关联,其标识分别为TCI state 1和TCI state 2。终端设备接收到的指示信息指示:在第一时频资源上,通过TCI state 1和TCI state 2同时传输搜索空间SS 0中的PDCCH 1。其中,前述第一时频资源由SS1和CORESET 1共同确定。另外,根据其他的配置信息,TCI state 1传输搜索空间SS 0中的PDCCH 2。
基于上述指示信息,根据上述图3所示的方式,终端设备首先确定SS 0占用的无重叠CCE中各个无重叠CCE分别对应的TCI状态的个数。具体包括:SS 0占用的CCE 0~CCE 7分别对应的TCI状态的个数为2(CCE 0~CCE 7分别对应TCI state 1和TCI state 2),SS 0占用的CCE 8~CCE 9分别对应的TCI状态的个数为1(CCE 8~CCE 9分别对应TCI state 1)。根据前述个数,终端设备可以确定SS 0中检测的无重叠CCE的数目为8*2+2。即,如果某个无重叠CCE对应N(N为大于或等于2的自然数)个TCI状态,则在计算包含该无重叠CCE的搜索空间中检测的无重叠CCE的数目时,将该无重叠CCE重复计算N次;如果某个无重叠CCE对应1个TCI状态,则在计算包含该无重叠CCE的搜索空间中检测的无重叠CCE的数目时,将该无重叠CCE计算1次。
在一些实施方式中,如果上述指示信息指示对于第一搜索空间中的所有候选PDCCH,分别在第一时频资源上通过2个不同的TCI状态传输各个候选PDCCH,则可以确定第一搜索空间中检测的无重叠CCE的数目为第一搜索空间实际占用的无重叠CCE的数目的2倍。
仍以上述SS 0为例,SS 0实际占用的无重叠CCE的数目为10(包括CCE 0~CCE 9), 如果上述指示信息指示分别在第一时频资源上通过2个不同的TCI状态传输SS 0中的各个候选PDCCH,即通过TCI state 1和TCI state 2同时传输SS 0中的PDCCH 1和PDCCH 2;则可以确定SS 0实际占用的CCE 0~CCE 9分别对应的TCI状态的个数为2,因此可以确定SS 0中检测的无重叠CCE的数目为其实际占用的无重叠CCE的数目(即10)的2倍。
上述指示信息至少可以采用以下三种方式:
第一种,在上述指示信息中,第一搜索空间包括仅与第一CORESET关联的所有搜索空间。
例如,网络设备为终端设备配置了一组搜索空间(包括SS 0~SS 5)和一组CORESET,其中SS 0和SS 2与CORESET 0关联,CORESET 0与至少2个不同的TCI状态关联(即CORESET 0是上述的第一CORESET)。在这种配置下,上述指示信息可以包括:在第一时频资源上通过该至少2个不同的TCI状态传输与CORESET 0关联的所有搜索空间中的候选PDCCH。也就是说,该指示信息中不需要指示出SS 0和SS 2的索引信息。
第二种,在上述指示信息中,第一搜索空间包括仅与第一CORESET关联的部分搜索空间。该部分搜索空间可以包括支持至少2个不同的TCI状态同时传输的搜索空间。
例如,在与上述第一种方式采用同样配置的情况下,上述指示信息可以包括:在第一时频资源上通过该至少2个不同的TCI状态传输与CORESET 0关联的部分搜索空间中的候选PDCCH。也就是说,指示信息中需要明确指示出搜索空间的索引信息;如果指示信息中指示了某个搜索空间的索引信息,并且该搜索空间与关联了至少2个不同TCI状态的CORESET相关联,则在第一时频资源上通过该至少2个不同的TCI状态传输该搜索空间中的候选PDCCH。
在一个示例中,指示信息指示SS 2和SS 3可以在关联的CORESET关联了两个TCI state时通过两个TCI state占用相同的时频资源进行同一个PDCCH的传输。其它SS在关联的CORESET关联了两个TCI state时通过默认的其中一个TCI state进行PDCCH的传输。根据上述配置信息,由于SS 3关联的CORESET仅关联1个TCI state,因此仅通过1个TCI state传输SS 3中的候选PDCCH。
可以看出,上述两种方式的区别在于:第一种方式中,对于一个搜索空间,只要其关联的CORESET同时关联了两个TCI state,则在第一时频资源上通过这2个TCI state传输该搜索空间。第二种方式中,需要搜索空间和CORESET都配置采用2个TCI state;即对于一个搜索空间,只有其关联的CORESET同时关联了两个TCI state、并且该搜索空间是支持2个TCI state同时传输的搜索空间,才会在第一时频资源上通过这2个TCI state传输该搜索空间。
上述两种方式是以搜索空间为粒度进行指示的,本申请实施例还可以以候选PDCCH为粒度进行指示,即如下的第三种方式。
第三种,指示信息可以包括:对于第一搜索空间中的部分候选PDCCH,分别在第一时频资源上通过2个不同的TCI状态传输该候选PDCCH。
例如,在与上述第一种方式采用同样配置的情况下,上述指示信息可以包括:分别在第一时频资源上通过该2个不同的TCI状态传输SS 0中的PDCCH 1。对于SS 0中的其他候选PDCCH,由于该指示信息中没有指示,则默认仅通过一个TCI状态传输这些候选PDCCH。
在上述指示信息中,该部分候选PDCCH的指示方式包括以下至少一项:
采用候选PDCCH的标识进行指示;
采用候选PDCCH对应的聚合等级进行指示。
本申请实施例还可以采用其他的方式指示哪些候选PDCCH属于上述的部分候选PDCCH,本申请实施例对具体的指示方式不做限制。
采用上述指示信息和接收到的配置信息,终端设备可以确定出在该第一时间单元上需 要侦听的多个搜索空间中,各个第一搜索空间中检测的无重叠CCE的数目。图4是根据本申请实施例的一种确定搜索空间的方法400的示意性流程图,如图4所示,在上述步骤S220之后还可以包括:
S430:终端设备确定在第一时间单元上需要侦听的多个搜索空间中,各个搜索空间中需要检测的候选PDCCH的数目,以及除第一搜索空间以外的其他搜索空间中检测的无重叠CCE的数目;
S440:终端设备根据在第一时间单元上需要侦听的多个搜索空间中,各个搜索空间中需要检测的候选PDCCH的数目、各个搜索空间中检测的无重叠CCE的数目以及终端设备的最大盲检测能力,确定可以进行盲检测的搜索空间;
S450:终端设备对可以进行盲检测的搜索空间进行盲检测。
其中,步骤S430的实现方式与现有技术中的实现方式相同,在此不再赘述。
可选地,步骤S440可以包括:
终端设备将在第一时间单元上需要侦听的多个搜索空间按照搜索空间的标识进行排序;可选地,终端设备可以将所有搜索空间进行排序;或者对与具有一组相同标识的CORESET所关联的搜索空间进行排序。
在最大候选PDCCH数大于或等于前N-1个搜索空间中需要检测的候选PDCCH的数目之和、最大无重叠CCE数大于或等于前N-1个搜索空间中检测的无重叠CCE的数目之和,并且最大候选PDCCH数小于前N个搜索空间中需要检测的候选PDCCH的数目之和、或者最大无重叠CCE数小于前N个搜索空间中检测的无重叠CCE的数目之和时,确定可以进行盲检测的搜索空间包括前N-1个搜索空间;其中,N为2至M范围内的整数,M为在第一时间单元上需要侦听的搜索空间的个数。
例如,在第一时间单元上需要侦听5个搜索空间,将这5个搜索空间按照标识进行排序。首先将排序后第一个搜索空间中需要检测的候选PDCCH的数目与最大候选PDCCH数比较,并将第一个搜索空间中检测的无重叠CCE的数目与最大无重叠CCE数比较;如果都没超过,则将排序后第一个搜索空间和第二个搜索空间中需要检测的候选PDCCH的数目之和与最大候选PDCCH数比较,将第一个搜索空间和第二个搜索空间中检测的无重叠CCE的数目之和与最大无重叠CCE数比较,依次进行。如果需要检测的候选PDCCH的数目超过最大候选PDCCH数、或者无重叠CCE的数目超过最大无重叠CCE数,则表明此时已经超出了终端设备的最大盲检测能力,则终止比较,将未超出终端设备最大盲检测能力的前几个搜索空间确定为可以进行盲检测的搜索空间。
需要说明的是,上述步骤S430和步骤S440中,确定搜索空间中需要检测的候选PDCCH的数目和检测的无重叠CCE的数目与确定可以进行盲检测的搜索空间的步骤可以交替执行。例如,在第一时间单元上需要侦听5个搜索空间的情况下,先确定第一个搜索空间中需要检测的候选PDCCH的数目及检测的无重叠CCE的数目,将其与终端设备的最大盲检测能力作比较;如果没有超出终端设备的最大盲检测能力,再确定第二个搜索空间中需要检测的候选PDCCH的数目及检测的无重叠CCE的数目,将第一个搜索空间和第二个搜索空间中需要检测的候选PDCCH的数目之和及中检测的无重叠CCE的数目之和与终端设备的最大盲检测能力作比较;如果没有超出终端设备的最大盲检测能力,再确定第三个搜索空间中需要检测的候选PDCCH的数目及检测的无重叠CCE的数目,如此依次进行。
或者,上述步骤S430和步骤S440中,也可以先将第一时间单元上需要侦听的所有搜索空间中需要检测的候选PDCCH的数目和检测的无重叠CCE的数目分别确定出来,再确定可以进行盲检测的搜索空间。例如,在第一时间单元上需要侦听5个搜索空间的情况下,分别确定排序后第一个至第五个搜索空间中需要检测的候选PDCCH的数目及检测的无重叠CCE的数目。首先将第一个搜索空间中需要检测的候选PDCCH的数目及检测的无重叠CCE的数目与终端设备的最大盲检测能力作比较;如果没有超出终端设备的最大盲检测能 力,则计算第一个搜索空间和第二个搜索空间中需要检测的候选PDCCH的数目之和、以及第一个搜索空间和第二个搜索空间检测的无重叠CCE的数目之和,将其与终端设备的最大盲检测能力作比较;如果没有超出终端设备的最大盲检测能力,则计算第一、二、三个搜索空间中需要检测的候选PDCCH的数目之和、以及第一、二、三个搜索空间检测的无重叠CCE的数目之和,将其与终端设备的最大盲检测能力作比较,如此依次进行。

需要说明的是,在上述实施方式中,是以在第一时频资源上通过2个不同的TCI状态传输第一搜索空间中的候选PDCCH为例进行介绍的。在本申请的其他实施方式中,指示信息可以指示在第一时频资源上通过2个以上不同的TCI状态传输第一搜索空间中的候选PDCCH;在这种情况下,终端设备确定第一搜索空间中检测的无重叠CCE的数目的方式与上述实施例中的方式相同。例如,如果第一搜索空间SS 1包括2个候选PDCCH,即PDCCH 0和PDCCH 1,其中PDCCH 0占用CCE 0~CCE 7,PDCCH 1占用CCE 6~CCE 13;上述指示信息指示在第一时频资源上存在3个不同的TCI状态(包括TCI状态1、TCI状 态2、TCI状态3)传输第一搜索空间SS 1中的PDCCH 0,在第一时频资源上存在2个不同的TCI状态(包括TCI状态3、TCI状态4)传输第一搜索空间SS 1中的PDCCH 1。根据该指示信息,终端设备可以确定CCE 0~CCE 5中的每个CCE分别对应的TCI状态的个数为3(即对应TCI状态1、TCI状态2、TCI状态3),CCE 6~CCE 7中的每个CCE分别对应的TCI状态的个数为4(即对应TCI状态1、TCI状态2、TCI状态3、TCI状态4),CCE 8~CCE 13中的每个CCE分别对应的TCI状态的个数为2(即对应TCI状态3、TCI状态4);根据前述个数,终端设备可以确定出SS 1对应的无重叠CCE的数目=6*3+2*4+6*2,即等于对应3个TCI状态的CCE的个数的3倍、对应4个TCI状态的CCE的个数的4倍、以及对应3个TCI状态的CCE的个数的2倍之和。
以下通过表格来做具体说明:参见表1,表1示出了5个SS(搜索空间),每个SS关联了一个唯一的CORESET id,所有搜索空间的侦听周期为5个slot(每隔5个slot侦听一次),并且偏移相同,也就是都在相同的slot(3,8,13)上进行PDCCH盲检测。因此,第一时间单元上需要侦听的搜索空间的个数为5。终端根据配置先确定每个搜索空间的侦听时刻,然后按照搜索空间的id大小、每个搜索空间内配置的PDCCH candidate(包括所有聚合等级的所有PDCCH candidate数目之和)数目以及每个搜索空间占用的无重叠的CCE数目来确定各个搜索空间中检测的无重叠CCE的数目,并进一步确定盲检测的搜索空间。
表1
Figure PCTCN2020135921-appb-000001
其中,一个搜索空间中不同PDCCH candidate之间占用的CCE可能重叠,本申请实施例将搜索空间中所有PDCCH candidate占用的对应不同CCE索引(index)的CCE作为该搜索空间占用的无重叠的CCE。图5是本申请实施例中SS 1的候选PDCCH所占的CCE示意图。如图5所示,搜索空间SS 1包括4个聚合等级的PDCCH candidate,每个聚合等级对应相应数量的CCE,该搜索空间中的不同PDCCH candidate之间存在CCE的重叠,该搜索空间占用的无重叠CCE的个数为24,即对应CCE 0~CCE 23。
参见表2,表2示出了5个SS(搜索空间),每个SS关联了一个唯一的CORESET id; 与表1不同的是,表5中不同SS的侦听的周期不同,因此此时在每个侦听时间点上需要侦听的SS不是所有的SS,而是需要根据具体的SS的侦听周期配置来确定。例如,在slot3上需要侦听的SS为SS1和SS3,此时仅需要计算SS1和SS3中检测的无重叠CCE的数目及需要检测的候选PDCCH的数目,并进一步确定盲检测的搜索空间。
表2
Figure PCTCN2020135921-appb-000002
另外,上述表1和表2中是以时间单位是slot为例进行介绍的,本申请实施例也可以采用span作为时间单元。例如,如果span的长度为3个符号,则表2中SS 2的侦听位置分别位于slot4、slot9、slot14的第二个span。
