Description

一种通信方法和通信装置 技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法和通信装置。
背景技术
目前,5G系统中存在增强移动宽带(enhanced mobile broadband,eMBB)用户设备(user equipment,UE),另外,由于物联网业务(如可穿戴、工业传感器、视频监控)对终端设备的低成本、低复杂性诉求,提出了一种降低能力(reduced capability,RedCap)UE,该类型UE被称为低复杂度(或低能力、或低成本)UE。对比于eMBB UE,RedCap UE具有低设备复杂度、低设备尺寸中的一种或多种特点。
基于前述说明,不同类型的UE具有不同的需求,目前没有相关技术适用于RedCap UE与不同网络设备的通信问题。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供了一种通信方法和通信装置,终端设备实现独立的上报支持发送和/或接收的参考信号的能力信息,解决了支持发送和/或接收参考信号的终端设备的通信问题。
为解决上述技术问题,本申请实施例提供以下技术方案:
第一方面,本申请实施例提供一种通信方法,包括:终端设备向第一网络设备传送第一能力信息,其中,所述第一能力信息用于指示所述终端设备至多支持使用第一数量的资源发送和/或接收第一信息,所述第一信息包括参考信号;所述终端设备向第二网络设备传送第二能力信息,其中,所述第二能力信息用于指示所述终端设备至多支持使用第二数量的资源发送和/或接收第二信息,所述第二信息至少包括如下一种:数据、控制信息;所述终端设备获取第一配置信息,所述第一配置信息为所述第一信息配置的资源数量不大于所述第一数量;所述终端设备获取第二配置信息,所述第二配置信息为所述第二信息配置的资源数量不大于所述第二数量。
在上述技术方案中,终端设备可以和至少一个网络设备建立通信连接。例如终端设备向网络设备上报的多个能力信息。终端设备可以向一个网络设备上报多个能力信息,或者,终端设备向不同网络设备分别上报多个能力信息。例如终端设备向第一网络设备传送第一能力信息,第一能力信息用于指示终端设备至多支持使用第一数量的资源发送和/或接收第一信息,第一信息包括参考信号;终端设备向第二网络设备(第二网络设备与第一网络设备可以是同一网络设备)传送第二能力信息,第二能力信息用于指示终端设备至多支持使用第二数量的资源发送和/或接收第二信息,第二信息至少包括如下一种:数据、控制信息。终端设备获取第一配置信息,第一配置信息为第一信息配置的资源数量不大于第一数量;终端设备获取第二配置信息,第二配置信息为第二信息配置的资源数量不大于第二数量。本申请实施例中,终端设备可以通过第一能力信息上报终端设备至多支持使用第一数量的资源发送和/或接收参考信号,终端设备可以通过第二能力信息上报终端设备 至多支持使用第二数量的资源发送和/或接收参第二信息,从而避免终端设备按照第一数量的资源发送和/或接收第二信息,从而降低了终端设备的复杂度和节省终端设备的功耗开销。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一数量大于所述第二数量。
在上述技术方案中,第一数量是第一能力信息中指示的资源数量,第二数量是第二能力信息中指示的资源数量,第一能力信息用于请求第一信息(例如第一信息是参考信号)对应的资源,第二能力信息用于请求第二信息(例如第二信息是数据、控制信息)对应的资源,则第一数量大于第二数量,即终端设备可以请求较多的资源用于发送参考信号,并且请求较少的资源用于发送数据。因此可以避免通过大幅度增加UE的复杂度/成本/功耗的前提下,实现终端设备(如RedCap UE)的高精度定位需求。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一数量属于第一数量集合,所述第一数量集合中存在至少一个数量大于所述第二数量;或,

本申请实施例中,第一数量和第二数量的具体取值是可以预先定义的,终端设备可以通过第一能力信息指示第一数量是否生效,另外,终端设备可以通过第二能力信息指示第二数量是否生效。需要说明的是,终端设备可以单独配置第一能力信息,单独配置第二能力信息。当第一数量大于第二数量时,可以避免通过大幅度增加UE的复杂度/成本/功耗的前提下,实现终端设备(如RedCap UE)的高精度定位需求。当第一数量不大于第二数量时,定位参考信号的传输带宽能力可以小于数据传输的带宽能力,可以不用全带宽发送定位参考信号,能够有效降低UE功耗。

114、第二网络设备向终端设备发送第二配置信息,可选的,第二配置信息为第二信息配置的资源数量不大于第二数量。
本申请实施例中,第二网络设备可以根据第二信息确定第二配置信息,具体的,第二网络设备执行前述步骤112,第二网络设备获取终端设备传送的第二能力信息,第二网络设备解析该第二能力信息,其中,第二能力信息用于指示终端设备至多支持使用第二数量的资源发送和/或接收第二信息,从而第二网络设备可以获取到终端设备发送和/或接收第二信息能够使用的最大资源的能力。第二网络设备可以为第二信息配置资源,例如第二网络设备针对终端设备发送和/或接收第二信息的资源进行配置,第二网络设备生成第二配置信息,第二配置信息为第二信息配置的资源数量不大于第二数量,该第二数量是第二网络设备通过解析第二能力信息得到,或者根据第二能力信息的指示得到。

本申请实施例中,增加射频带宽不会对UE的成本有明显的提升,但UE的成本会随着其数据传输(后续简称为数传)的带宽能力(即基带带宽)明显增加。因此本申请实施例中 在提升定位性能的同时,有效避免大幅度增加UE的复杂度/成本。

其中,但是第一数量和第二数量是终端设备单独确定的。例如第一数量属于第一数量集合,第一数量集合中存在至少一个数量大于第二数量,本申请实施例中对于第一数量集合的实现方式不做限定,例如第一数量集合中可以包括一个组成元素,或者包括多个组成元素,该组成元素是构成第一数量集合中的数量。第一数量集合中存在至少一个数量大于第二数量,因此第一数量存在能够大于第二数量的可能性,第一数量的具体取值此处不做限定。
例如第一数量属于第一数量集合,第二数量是预定义的,第一数量集合中存在至少一个数量大于第二数量,第二数量是终端设备预先定义的,例如终端设备预先定义第二数量的带宽是20MHz或40MHz,或5MHz,或者预先定义第二数量的带宽是51个资源块(或106个资源块,或11个资源块。第一数量集合中可以包括一个组成元素,或者包括多个组成元素,该组成元素是构成第一数量集合中的数量。第一数量集合中存在至少一个数量大于第二数量,因此第一数量存在能够大于第二数量的可能性,第一数量的具体取值此处不做限定。

例如,第一数量是预定义的,第二数量是预定义的,且第一数量不大于第二数量。
本申请实施例中,第一数量和第二数量的具体取值是可以预先定义的,终端设备可以通过第一能力信息指示第一数量是否生效,另外,终端设备可以通过第二能力信息指示第二数量是否生效。需要说明的是,终端设备可以单独配置第一能力信息,单独配置第二能力信息。当第一数量大于第二数量时,可以避免通过大幅度增加UE的复杂度/成本/功耗的前提下,实现终端设备(如RedCap UE)的高精度定位需求。当第一数量不大于第二数量时,定位参考信号的传输带宽能力可以小于数据传输的带宽能力,可以不用全带宽发送定位参考信号,能够有效降低UE功耗。
在本申请的一些实施例中,资源是:带宽、资源块、载波、子带、频率范围、频带、频段、子载波间隔、带宽部分(band width,BWP)、跳频间隔、特定的时间范围内的跳频次数中的一种或多种。本申请实施例中定义的资源有多种实现方式,例如资源可以是带宽,或者资源可以是资源块等。本申请实施例不做限定。对于带宽、资源块、载波、子带、频率范围、频带、频段、子载波间隔、BWP、跳频间隔、特定的时间范围内的跳频次数的相关概念说明,此处不再展开说明。

例如,不同载波之间有重叠,那么终端设备可以通过载波(CC)切换实现在更大的频率资源上发送定位探测参考信号。按照这样的方法,不需要终端设备具备按照载波聚合的方式发送定位探测参考信号,从而降低了UE设备的复杂度。如图2a所示,假设有3个载波,分别为CC 1、CC 2、和CC 3,其中,每个载波是100MHz,不同载波之间有重叠。UE按照联合跳频和载波切换的方法,可以在近300MHz的频率资源上发送定位探测参考信号,从而保持终端设备的低复杂度,即不需要具备按照载波聚合的方式发送定位探测参考信号的能力,还能够实现更高精度的定位。
又如,不同载波之间没有重叠,那么终端设备可以通过联合跳频和载波聚合的方式实现在更大的频率资源上发送定位探测参考信号。如图2b所示,假设有3个载波,分别为CC 1、CC 2、和CC 3。其中,CC 2与CC 1、CC 3有重叠,假设每个载波是100MHz,不同载波之间没有重叠,因此需要进行载波聚合。例如,UE按照联合跳频和载波聚合的方法,可以在近300MHz的频率资源上发送定位探测参考信号,从而实现更高精度的定位。

进一步的,在本申请的一些实施例中,N小于M;或,
N不大于M。
其中,当N小于M时,可以避免通过大幅度增加UE的复杂度/成本/功耗的前提下,实 现终端设备(如RedCap UE)的高精度定位需求。N不大于M,即N小于M,或者N=M。当N小于M时,可以避免通过大幅度增加UE的复杂度/成本/功耗的前提下,实现终端设备(如RedCap UE)的高精度定位需求,当N=M时,定位参考信号的传输带宽能力等于数据传输的带宽能力,简化了定位参考信号的传输带宽和数据传输的带宽的配置方式。

接下来以详细的应用场景例进行说明。
本申请实施例可应用于在避免通过大幅度增加UE的复杂度/成本/功耗的前提下,实现终端设备(如RedCap UE)的高精度定位需求。
本申请实施例中,UE确定UE发送定位参考信号能用的最大资源(称“第一资源”)能力,UE确定数据传输(后续简称为数传)的最大资源(称“第二资源”)能力,该UE是不同于正常UE的一种新形态的UE。第一资源可以大于第二资源,从而实现高精度定位和低复杂度的好处。示例性的说明如下:例如,“定位参考信号的传输带宽能力”不受限于“数据传输的带宽能力”,对定位参考信号的载波聚合(carrier aggregation,CA)能力和数传的CA能力有不同的配置等。具体地:
1)“定位参考信号的传输带宽能力”可以大于“数据传输的带宽能力”,例如,RedCap UE的数据传输的带宽能力为20MHz,其定位参考信号的传输带宽能力可以为40MHz或者60MHz或者80MHz或者100MHz;或者,“定位参考信号的传输带宽能力”也可以小于等于“数据传输的带宽能力”。
2)在上行定位参考信号可以支持CA的情况下,UE的数传(上行发送或下行接收)可以不支持CA。
本申请实施例应用于5G的定位场景,涉及到网元有:LMF、基站(如gNB/ng-eNB)、UE。
本申请实施例应用于5G的定位场景,涉及到的网元的功能包括:
1)、LMF发送LTE定位协议(LTE Positioning Protocol,LPP)消息给UE,UE根据LPP消息的指示完成相应操作,根据情况上报位置测量信息给LMF。该过程涉及的网元有:LMF和UE。

本申请实施例中涉及UE和网络单元的交互,首先从UE侧进行说明。
UE向网络单元(LMF/基站/其他通信实体)上报其上行定位参考信号的(最大)资源能力信息。UE向网络单元上报其数据传输的(最大)资源能力信息。UE可以从网络单元获取上行定位参考信号的配置信息。UE按照从网络单元处接收到的定位参考信号配置信息发送SRS。
其中,UE上报的上行定位参考信号的(最大)资源能力可以大于(或高于)数据传输的(最大)资源能力。当然,UE上报的上行定位参考信号的(最大)资源能力也可以不大于(或不高于)数据传输的(最大)资源能力。
接下来从网络单元(LMF/基站/其他通信实体)侧进行说明。
网络单元可以从UE获取其上行定位参考信号的(最大)资源能力信息。
网络单元可以从UE获取其数据传输的(最大)资源能力信息。
网络单元可以从UE获取其上行定位参考信号的配置信息。
网络单元可以按照参考信号配置信息接收UE传输的探测参考信号SRS。
在基于5G核心网的定位架构中,LMF负责支持有关目标UE的不同类型的位置服务,包括对UE的定位和向UE传递辅助数据,其控制面和用户面分别是增强服务移动位置中心(Enhanced Serving Mobile Location Centre,E-SMLC)和安全用户面定位平台(Secure User Plane Location(SUPL)Location Platform,SLP)。LMF可能与ng-eNB/gNB和UE进行信息交互。
其中,交互的信息可以是LMF与ng-eNB/gNB之间通过NRPPa(NR Positioning Protocol Annex)消息进行信息交互,例如获取PRS配置信息、SRS配置信息、小区定时信息、小区位置信息等。NRPPa为5G系统中的LMF与基站之间的信令协议,NRPPa消息是LMF与基站之间进行信令/信息交互的消息载体。
另外,交互的信息可以是与UE之间通过LTE定位协议(LTE Positioning Protocol,LPP)消息进行UE能力信息传递、辅助信息传递、测量信息传递等。辅助用户进行测量或者位置计算等的信息。
在基于5G核心网的定位架构中,接入及移动性管理功能(Access and Mobility Management Function,AMF)可以从位置服务(LoCation Services,LCS)实体接收与目标UE相关的位置服务请求,或者AMF本身也可代表特定目标UE启动一些位置服务,并将位置服务请求转发给LMF。当得到UE返回的位置信息后,AMF将相关位置信息返回给LCS实体。其中,LCS为核心网外部与核心网交互定位业务的管理模块。
在基于5G核心网的定位架构中,gNB/ng-eNB可以为目标UE提供测量信息,并将此信息传达给LMF。
接下来以两个实施例对本申请实施例涉及的应用场景进行说明,实施例一从UE侧进行说明,实施例二从网络设备侧进行说明。如图3a所示,步骤S01和S02由UE执行,步骤S03和S04由网络设备执行。
本实施例一
为了提高定位精度,UE可以在更多(或更大)的资源上发送定位参考信号,但考虑到避免大幅度增加UE的成本,UE只能在较少(或较小)的资源上与对侧设备进行通信或者进行数据传输。即UE发送定位参考信号能用的资源可以大于UE与对侧设备进行通信或者进行数据传输时能够使用的最大资源。
因为UE只能在较少(或较小)的资源上与对侧设备进行通信或者进行数据传输,其基带处理的能力的复杂度较低。例如,基带处理可以包括数据处理、控制信道处理、信道估计、信道测量、多天线信号处理等。例如,数据处理可以包括:下行数据的接收、译码、检测;上行数据的生成、编码、成型等。但UE可以在更多(或更大)的资源上发送定位参考信号,从而使得UE具备高精度定位能力的同时,不会使得UE的最大基带处理能力与UE的上行定位参考信号支持的最大资源相匹配(如相同,或相当),从而使UE能够实现低复杂度或低成本。并且UE只能在较少(或较小)的资源上与对侧设备进行通信或者进行数据传输, 其功耗开销得到降低,从而实现低功耗。
需要说明的是,上述的资源可以是带宽、子带、一个或多个资源块构成的资源、一个或多个载波资源、频率范围、频带、频段、一种或多种子载波间隔、子载波间隔数、或带宽部分BWP、跳频间隔、跳频的跳数等中的一种或多种。
因此,本申请实施例UE确定UE发送定位参考信号能用的最大资源(称“第一资源”)能力,UE确定数据传输的最大资源(称“第二资源”)能力,该UE是不同于正常UE的一种新形态的UE。第一资源可以大于第二资源,从而实现高精度定位和低复杂度的好处。如图3b所示,给出了UE的第一资源是100MHz,第二资源是20MHz的示意图。
具体地,UE可以向LMF或基站(或其他通信实体)上报其上行定位参考信号的(最大)资源能力信息。下面对实施例一的关键特征进行说明:
步骤S01、UE向LMF或基站(或其他通信实体)上报其上行定位参考信号的(最大)资源能力信息。
例如,上行定位参考信号的资源能力信息包括:UE在单个载波上发送定位参考信号时能够占用的最大带宽、UE是否支持上行定位参考信号的载波聚合CA、UE能够支持几个载波的CA、UE支持定位参考信号CA后的最大带宽、UE的调谐时间等中的一种或多种。主要考虑跳频定位的场景,在进行下一次跳频时,因为需要调整载波的中心频率,因此需要一定的硬件调整时间,称之为“调谐时间”。
例如,上行定位参考信号的资源能力信息可以指示:UE支持按照类型1进行序列生成,或者UE支持按照类型2进行SRS序列生成。或者,上行定位参考信号的资源能力信息还可以指示:UE支持按照类型1进行序列生成,或者UE支持按照类型2进行序列生成,或者UE支持按照类型1和类型2进行序列生成。
例如,上行定位参考信号的资源能力信息可以包括:UE生成上行定位参考信号的扰码信息。扰码信息可以是扰码范围,扰码取值集合中的一种或多种。
例如,上行定位参考信号的资源能力信息可以包括:UE生成上行定位参考信号的位置信息、周期信息、间隔信息、跳频信息、密度信息、预留时间信息、调谐时间信息、不同时发送信息、不同时接收信息中的一种或多种。
位置信息可以是UE能够支持的上行定位参考信号发送的位置。如固定位置或灵活位置。或者,UE发送上行定位参考信号的位置是在同步信号块SSB的一个特定时间内。因为UE发送上行定位参考信号的位置是在SSB的一个特定时间内,UE可以快速地实现同步跟踪,从而节省功耗。UE可以上报期望的特定时间值或范围。
周期信息可以是UE能够支持的上行定位参考信号发送的周期。
间隔信息可以是UE能够支持的两次相邻的上行定位参考信号发送的(最小)间隔。
跳频信息可以是UE的上行定位参考信号是否支持跳频、特定时间内的跳数、每一跳的占据的资源块RB数(或每一跳信号占用的频率宽度)、每一跳的第二资源宽度、跳频偏移、跳频的频率资源范围、子载波间隔信息中的一种或多种。跳频偏移的取值中至少有一个取值能够使得两次相邻的上行定位参考信号的频率资源有重叠。第一资源带宽:UE发送定位参考信号能用的最大资源对应的带宽;第二资源带宽:数据传输的最大资源对应的带宽。
密度信息可以是UE在特定的时间范围内发送上行定位参考信号的次数。
预留时间信息可以是UE在发送上行定位参考信号前要预留的时间长度,或UE在发送上行定位参考信号后要预留的时间长度,或UE在发送两次上行定位参考信号之间要预留的时间长度。
调谐时间信息可以是UE在发送上行定位参考信号后到下一次发送上行定位参考信号的切换时间。
不同时发送信息可以是UE在发送上行定位参考信号时,不支持再发送其他的(一种或多种)上行信号。
不同时接收信息可以是UE在发送上行定位参考信号时,不支持接收其他的(一种或多种)下行信号。
当然也可以预先规定UE的上行定位参考信号的部分资源能力信息,这样UE就不需要上报预先规定的资源能力信息。例如,预先规定预留时间信息,或者预先规定不同时发送的信息,或者预先规定不同时接收的信息。例如,预先规定UE在发送上行定位参考信号前或后时,其要预留的时间。例如,预先规定UE在发送上行定位参考信号时,其不能再发送物理上行共享信道PUSCH和/或物理上行控制信道PUCCH。例如,预先规定UE在发送上行定位参考信号时,其不能再接收PDSCH和/或PDCCH。例如,预先规定UE在发送上行定位参考信号的位置是在SSB之后的n个ms内。如n=5,或n=10。
具体地,预先规定UE的资源能力,或者UE还可以向LMF或基站(或其他通信实体)上报UE的资源能力信息。例如,UE的资源能力信息是数据传输的(最大)资源能力。例如,预先规定UE数据传输的最大带宽,或预先规定UE数据传输不支持CA。例如:
步骤S02、UE向LMF或基站(或其他通信实体)上报其数据传输的(最大)资源能力信息。
例如,数据传输的资源能力信息包括UE数据传输的最大带宽、UE数据传输的最大基带带宽、UE数据传输的最大射频带宽、UE不支持数据传输的载波聚合CA、UE数据传输能够支持几个载波的CA、UE数据传输支持定位参考信号CA后的最大带宽、UE数据传输的调谐时间等中的一种或多种。
最大带宽是指UE数据传输的最大带宽。
接下来对最大基带带宽和最大射频带宽进行说明,先解释“基带带宽”和“射频带宽”。
基带带宽是信源(信息源,也称发终端)发出的没有经过调制(进行频谱搬移和变换)的原始电信号所固有的频带(频率带宽),称为基本频带,简称基带。射频带宽是基带信号经过调制(进行频谱搬移和变换)的频带(频率带宽)。
本申请实施例中,最大数据传输带宽=最大基带带宽<=最大射频带宽。
需要说明的是,UE上报的上行定位参考信号的(最大)资源能力可以大于(或高于)数据传输的(最大)资源能力。当然,UE上报的上行定位参考信号的(最大)资源能力也可以不大于(或不高于)数据传输的(最大)资源能力。
如图3b所示,给出了UE向LMF或基站上报其上行定位参考信号的资源能力信息和UE的资源能力信息的示意图。

例如:UE上报上行定位参考信号的带宽为100MHz,UE的带宽是20MHz。
例如:UE上报上行定位参考信号的带宽为N个RB,UE的带宽是M个RB,其中N>M。
例如:UE上报上行定位参考信号支持载波聚合,UE的数据传输不支持载波聚合。
UE可以从LMF或基站(或其他通信实体)获取上行定位参考信号的配置信息。
例如,上行定位参考信号的配置信息包括以下的一种或多种:a、上行定位参考信号的传输信息,b、跳频(Frequency hopping,FH)相关的配置信息。
a、上行定位参考信号的传输信息。
例如,上行定位参考信号的传输信息包括:上行定位参考信号传输所占用的资源配置和/或传输方式的配置。
如前所述,资源可以是带宽、BWP、RB、子载波中的一种或多种。带宽配置可以包括带宽的大小、带宽的位置、中心频率指示、栅格(raster)大小、绝对频点号等中的一种或多种。BWP配置可以包括BWP大小、BWP位置中的一种或多种。RB配置可以包括占用RB的个数、占用的RB位置、起始RB位置中的一种或多种。子载波配置可以包括支持的子载波间隔。“栅格”是带宽配置参数中的一种,栅格数据就是将空间分割成有规律的网格,每一个网格称为一个单元。在进行带宽配置时,“栅格大小”是指将整个频带划分成多大的颗粒度。
例如,传输方式包括:上行定位参考信号是按照UE的上行定位参考信号的资源能力进行上行定位参考信号的传输,还是按照UE的数据传输的资源能力进行上行定位参考信号的传输。
例如,传输方式包括:上行定位参考信号是按照类型1进行序列生成,还是按照类型2进行序列生成。
例如,上行定位参考信号的传输信息包括可以包括:UE生成上行定位参考信号的扰码信息。扰码信息可以是扰码范围,扰码取值集合中的一种或多种。
例如,上行定位参考信号的传输信息包括可以包括:上行定位参考信号的位置信息、周期信息、间隔信息、跳频信息、密度信息、保护时间信息、调谐时间信息中、不同时发送信息、不同时接收的一种或多种。
位置信息可以是上行定位参考信号发送的位置。例如,发送上行定位参考信号的位置是在SSB的一个特定时间内。规定UE发送上行定位参考信号的位置是在SSB的一个特定时间内,这样UE可以快速地实现同步跟踪,从而节省功耗。
周期信息可以是上行定位参考信号发送的周期。
间隔信息可以是两次相邻的上行定位参考信号发送的(最小)间隔。
密度信息可以是在特定的时间范围内发送上行定位参考信号的次数。

不同时发送信息可以是在发送上行定位参考信号时,其不再发送其他的(一种或多种)上行信号的信息。
不同时接收信息可以是在发送上行定位参考信号时,其不再接收其他的(一种或多种)下行信号的信息。
b、跳频(Frequency hopping,FH)相关的配置信息。
例如,跳频相关的配置信息包括以下的一种或多种:
使能/去使能跳频。
跳频时域配置(起始位置、间隔、周期、每一跳占据的符号个数、帧/时隙(slot)的配置中的一种或多种)。
跳频频域配置(起始RB位置、每一跳的占据的RB数(或每一跳信号占用的频率宽度中的一种或多种)、每一跳的第二资源宽度(如用于相位估计)、特定时间内频率上的跳数、跳频的频率资源范围、子载波间隔信息、跳频偏移中的一种或多种。跳频偏移的取值中至少有一个取值能够使得两次相邻的上行定位参考信号的频率资源有重叠。
跳频传输时:例如,对于FR1,其每一跳包含的最大RB数是100(或50,或106)的整数倍,或1/2、1/4倍。例如,对于,其第一跳的起始RB取值是{0,…,X-1};其中X是根据频率上的有几跳、余数RB、载波带宽、BWP大小size,子载波间隔SCS中的一种或多种确定。特别地,X=19,或X=49。其中,频率上的有几跳在指定的频率上UE进行几次跳频发送;余数RB是指UE在指定的频率上一跳频方式发送完所有SRS后还剩几个RB。
或者,UE可以从LMF或基站(或其他通信实体)获取上行定位参考信号的传输方式的指示信息。
例如:定义如下的第一模式和第二模式:
第一模式:上行定位参考信号是按照UE的上行定位参考信号的资源能力进行上行定位参考信号的传输。
第二模式:上行定位参考信号是按照UE的数据传输的资源能力进行上行定位参考信号的传输。
例如,LMF或基站(或其他通信实体)在以下集合中为UE指示传输方式:
{第一模式,不跳频}、{第二模式,跳频}、{第二模式,不跳频}。
例如,LMF或基站(或其他通信实体)在以下集合中为UE指示传输方式:
{第一模式,不跳频}、{第二模式,跳频}、{第二模式,不跳频}、{第一模式,跳频}。
例如:预先定义传输方式。
