下面结合说明书附图对本申请实施例做详细描述。
本申请实施例可以应用于各种移动通信系统,例如:新无线(new radio,NR)系统、长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统以及未来通信系统等其它通信系统,具体的,在此不做限制。其中,NR系统还可以称为5G系统。
本申请实施例中,以终端设备和接入网设备之间的交互为例进行描述。其中,终端设备:可以简称为终端,为具有无线收发功能的设备或可设置于该设备的芯片。其中,终端设备也可以称为用户设备(user equipment,UE)、接入终端等。在实际应用中,本申请的实施例中的终端设备可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)终端、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)终端、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端等。本申请实施例中,用于实现终端设备的功能的装置可以是终端设备;可以是能够应用于终端设备的模块或单元;或者可以是能够支持终端设备实现该功能的装置,例如芯片系统,该装置可以被安装在终端设备中或者与终端设备匹配使用。本申请实施例中,芯片系统可以由芯片构成,也可以包括芯片和其他分立器件。以用于实现终端设备的功能的装置是终端设备为例,描述本申请实施例提供的技术方案。
接入网设备:可以是无线网络中各种制式下无线接入设备,例如接入网设备可以是将终端设备接入到无线网络的RAN节点,又可以称为RAN设备或基站。一些接入网设备的举例为:下一代基站(generation Node B,gNodeB)、传输接收点(transmission reception point,TRP)、演进型节点B(evolved node B,eNB)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller,RNC)、节点B(node B,NB)、基站控制器(base station controller,BSC)、基站收发台(base transceiver station,BTS)、家庭基站(例如,home evolved Node B,或home Node B,HNB)、基带单元(base band unit,BBU)、或无线保真(wireless fidelity,Wi-Fi)接入点(access point,AP)等。在一种网络结构中,接入网设备可以是集中单元(centralized unit,CU)节点、分布单元(distributed unit,DU)节点、或包括CU节点和DU节点的接入网设备。作为示例,CU和DU之间的接口可以称为F1接口。可选的,该CU节点可以是CU-CP(control plane,控制面)节点、CU-UP(user plane,用户面)节点、或包括CU-CP节点和CU-UP节点的节点。DU和CU-CP之间的接口可以称为F1-C接口,DU和CU-UP之间的接口可以称为F1-U接口。在其它可能的情况下,接入网设备可以是其它为终端设备提供无线通信功能的装置。本申请的实施例对接入网设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。为方便描述,本申请实施例中,为终端设备提供无线通信功能的装置称为接入网设备。本申请实施例中,用于实现接入网设备的功能的装置可以是接入网设备;可以是能够应用于接入网设备的模块或单元;或者可以是能够支持接入网设备实现该功能的装置,例如芯片系统,该装置可以被安装在接入网设备中或者与接入网设备匹配使用。
可选的,上述DU、CU、CU-CP和CU-UP可以是功能模块、硬件结构、或者功能模块+硬件结构,不予限制。
可选的,CU和DU可以根据无线网络的协议层划分:比如,分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层及以上协议层的功能设置在CU,PDCP层以下协议层的功能设置在DU,例如,DU可以包括无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层和物理(physical,PHY)层。
在一种可能的设计中,CU-CP可以包括无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)层和PDCP层,CU-UP可以包括业务数据适配(service data adaptation protocol,SDAP)层和PDCP层。CU-CP中的PDCP层可以称为PDCP-C,CU-UP中的PDCP层可以称为PDCP-U。
在一种可能的设计中,DU可以包括RLC层和MAC层的功能,和,PHY层的部分功能。示例性地,DU可以包括PHY层中高层的功能或者软件模块实现的功能。其中,PHY层中高层的功能可以包括CRC校验、信道编码、速率匹配、加扰、调制、和层映射;或者,PHY层中高层的功能可以包括CRC校验、信道编码、速率匹配、加扰、调制、层映射和预编码。PHY层中低层的功能可以通过另一个与DU独立的网元实现,其中,PHY层中低层的功能可以包括预编码、资源映射、物理天线映射和射频功能;或者,PHY层中低层的功能可以包括资源映射、物理天线映射和射频功能。本申请实施例对PHY层中高层和底层的功能划分不作限制。
可以理解的,上述对CU和DU的处理功能按照协议层的划分仅仅是一些举例,也可以按照其他的方式进行划分,比如RLC层以上协议层的功能设置在CU,RLC层及以下协议层的功能设置在DU,又比如可以将CU或者DU划分为具有更多协议层的功能,又比如CU或DU还可以划分为具有协议层的部分处理功能。在一种设计中,将RLC层的部分功能和RLC层以上的协议层的功能设置在CU,将RLC层的剩余功能和RLC层以下的协议层的功能设置在DU。在另一种设计中,还可以按照业务类型或者其他系统需求对CU或者DU的功能进行划分,例如按时延划分,将处理时间需要满足时延要求的功能设置在DU,不需要满足该时延要求的功能设置在CU。在另一种设计中,CU也可以具有核心网的一个或多个功能。示例性地,CU可以设置在网络侧方便集中管理;DU可以具有多个射频功能,也可以将射频功能拉远设置。本申请实施例对此并不进行限定。
上述CU、DU、CU-CP、或CU-UP等既可以是软件模块,也可以是硬件结构,或者是软件模块+硬件结构,不予限制。
为便于理解本申请实施例,首先说明适用于本申请实施例的通信系统。如图1所示,图1为本申请实施例适用的一种网络架构示意图。图1中,终端设备可通过接入网设备接入到无线网络,以通过无线网络获取外网(例如因特网)的服务,或者通过无线网络与其它设备通信,如可以与其它终端设备通信。
图1中,接入网设备可以向终端设备发送下行参考信号,终端设备可以根据下行参考信号实现与接入网设备的同步,以及获取系统信息等。
以下行参考信号为同步信号广播信道块(synchronous signal/physical broadcast channel block,SS/PBCH block,SSB)为例,针对于一个小区(或者说载波),接入网设备可以通过不同的发射波束发送SSB,来完成小区的广播波束覆盖。可选的,每个发射波束的发射时刻不同。如图1所示,接入网设备通过发射波束0发送SSB#0,通过发射波束1发送SSB#1, 通过发射波束2发送SSB#2等,可以理解为,发射波束0对应SSB#0,发射波束1对应SSB#1,发射波束2对应SSB#2。
接入网设备在一次波束扫描过程中所发送的SSB的集合可以称为一个SSB突发集(burst set)。SSB突发集的周期相当于一个特定波束对应的SSB的周期,可以被配置为5ms(毫秒)、10ms、20ms、40ms、80ms或160ms等。例如,5G系统中,频率范围(frequency range,FR)1对应的SSB突发集最多可以配置8个SSB,FR2对应的SSB突发集最多可以配置64个SSB,接入网设备在1个SSB突发集中发送一轮所有的SSB。
示例性地,一个SSB突发集内包括多个SSB,每个SSB的波束可以相同或不同。例如,当载波频段小于或等于3GHz时,一个SSB突发集内最多有4个SSB。
本申请实施例可以应用于多种场景,例如可以应用于终端设备处于RRC非激活态时,进行小包数据(small data)传输的场景。小包数据传输场景可以有多种,具体可以涵盖智能手机相关业务,比如应用程序(application,APP)的心跳包或推送消息;以及非智能手机的相关业务,比如可穿戴设备的周期性数据(例如心跳包)、工业无线传感器网络所发送的周期性数据等等。此外,本申请实施例中对小包数据的具体大小可以不做限定,比如100~300字节的数据包可以认为是小包数据,又比如能在一个时隙中发送完的数据包可以认为是小包数据(例如带宽资源为5M、子载波间隔为30kHz的一个时隙,若以正交相移键控(quadrature phase shift keying,QPSK)调制,则大约可传500个字节),又比如在RRC非激活态时发送的用户面数据包和/或控制面数据包可以认为是小包数据。
进一步可选地,本申请实施例可以应用于基于免授权的上行小包数据传输场景。该场景中,接入网设备通过半静态的方式为终端设备预配置用于上行数据传输的PUSCH资源以及传输参数,当终端设备有上行数据需要发送时,直接使用预配置的PUSCH资源和参数向接入网设备发送数据,而不必接收接入网设备的动态授权,也不必进行随机接入过程。例如,LTE系统中预配置上行资源(pre-configured uplink resource,PUR)传输和NR系统中基于配置授权(configured grant,CG)的传输都属于上行免授权传输范畴。基于PUR的传输和基于CG的传输都是接入网设备通过信令为终端设备配置资源和传输参数配置,例如以下配置中的一种或多种:时域资源的周期、开环功控相关参数、波形、冗余版本序列、重复次数、跳频模式、资源分配类型、混合自动重传请求(hybrid automatic repeat request,HARQ)进程数、解调用参考信号相关参数、调制编码方案表格、资源块组大小、以及时域资源、频域资源、调制和编码方案(modulation and coding scheme,MCS)等。
基于免授权的小包数据传输中,针对终端设备在RRC非激活态时进行小包数据传输的场景,终端设备不用进行状态转换,就可以进行数据传输,从而显著降低信令开销和终端设备的功耗。在该场景中,接入网设备可以为终端设备配置用于携带上行数据的上行信道(例如PUSCH)传输的配置授权(configured grant,CG)资源。当终端设备有上行数据需要发送时,可以直接使用CG资源向接入网设备发送数据,而不必接收接入网设备的动态授权(dynamic grant),也不必发送前导码。基于CG资源的数据传输也可以称作免授权(grant free,GF)数据传输。由于终端设备不需要通过发送前导码转入RRC连接态,可以进一步节省信令开销和终端设备的功耗。
然而,在基于CG资源的数据传输中,由于RRC非激活态的终端设备没有类似RRC连接态的波束管理(beam management)过程,因此,接入网设备不知晓RRC非激活态的终端设备的位置信息(或信道信息),进而也不知晓使用什么样的接收波束去接收终端设 备在CG资源上发送的上行数据。当接入网设备不知晓终端设备的信道信息时,会显著增加接入网设备的接收复杂度,而且,接入网设备无法准确确定向终端设备发送该上行数据的反馈信息的波束,造成终端设备接收反馈信息的性能损失。
基于此,本申请实施例将针对基于CG资源的数据传输进行优化,降低接入网设备的接收复杂度的同时,提高数据传输的灵活度。
下面先对本申请实施例所涉及的相关技术特征进行解释说明。需要说明的是,这些解释是为了让本申请实施例更容易被理解,而不应该视为对本申请所要求的保护范围的限定。
一、终端设备的RRC状态:
终端设备的RRC状态可以在以下状态中进行转换:RRC空闲态、RRC连接态和RRC非激活态。
(1)RRC连接态:
当终端设备处于RRC连接态时,存在终端设备和接入网设备之间的RRC连接。此时,接入网设备知道该终端设备在该接入网设备的覆盖范围内或者在该接入网设备的管理范围内,例如接入网设备知道该终端设备在该接入网设备所管理的小区的覆盖范围内;核心网知道该终端设备在哪个接入网设备的覆盖范围内或者管理范围内,核心网知道通过哪个接入网设备可以定位到或者找到该终端设备。
进一步地,当终端设备处于RRC连接态时,接入网设备可以向终端设备发送终端设备特定的物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)和/或物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH),和/或终端设备可以向接入网设备发送终端设备特定的物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH)和/或物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)。终端设备可以通过PDCCH来接收接入网设备发送的上行调度指示或下行调度指示。终端设备可以通过PUCCH向接入网设备发送混合自动重传请求(hybrid automatic repeat request,HARQ)信息,用于指示终端设备对下行数据的解调情况。
(2)RRC空闲态:
当终端设备处于RRC空闲态时,释放了终端设备和接入网之间的RRC连接。此时,终端设备可以从接入网设备接收寻呼消息、广播信道、和/或系统信息等。
进一步地,当终端设备处于RRC空闲态时,接入网设备可能不知道该终端设备是否在该接入网设备的覆盖范围内或者是否在该接入网设备的管理范围内,例如接入网设备可能不知道该终端设备是否在该接入网设备所管理的小区的覆盖范围内;核心网可能不知道终端设备在哪个接入网设备的覆盖范围内或者管理范围内,核心网可能不知道通过哪个接入网设备可以定位到或者找到该终端设备。
(3)RRC非激活态:
当终端设备处于RRC非激活态时,没有终端设备和接入网设备之间的RRC连接。此时,接入网设备可能不知道该终端设备是否在该接入网设备的覆盖范围内或者是否在该接入网设备的管理范围内,例如接入网设备可能不知道该终端设备是否在该接入网设备所管理的小区的覆盖范围内;核心网可能知道终端设备在哪个或哪些接入网设备的覆盖范围内或者管理范围内,核心网可能知道通过哪个或哪些接入网设备可以定位到或者找到该终端设备。
进一步地,当终端设备处于RRC非激活态时,终端设备可以从接入网设备接收寻呼 消息、同步信号、广播消息、和/或系统信息等。
在本申请实施例中,RRC非激活态和RRC空闲态可以统称为非连接态或RRC非连接态。如图2所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种RRC状态转换的示例图。图2中,可以包含以下几种可能的转换情形:
(1)RRC连接态转换到RRC空闲态;
示例性地,接入网设备可以向终端设备发送RRC连接释放(RRC connection release)消息,使终端设备由RRC连接态转换为RRC空闲态。
(2)RRC连接态转换到RRC非激活态;
示例性地,接入网设备可以向终端设备发送RRC连接暂停(RRC connection suspend)消息或RRC连接释放消息,使终端设备由RRC连接态转换为RRC非激活态。
(3)RRC空闲态转换到RRC连接态;
示例性地,终端设备可以通过与接入网设备的RRC连接建立过程,使终端设备由RRC空闲态转换为RRC连接态。其中,RRC建立过程可以是由终端设备的高层触发的,例如,终端设备有上行数据的发送需求时,由终端设备的高层触发RRC建立过程。或者,RRC建立过程也可以是由接入网设备触发的,例如,在终端设备处于RRC空闲态时,接入网设备向终端设备发送寻呼消息,该寻呼消息包含该终端设备的标识。相应地,终端设备从接入网设备接收到该寻呼消息后,触发RRC建立过程。
(4)RRC非激活态转换到RRC连接态;
示例性地,终端设备处于RRC非激活态时,可以通过RRC连接建立或RRC连接恢复过程,使终端设备的RRC状态转换为RRC连接态。
(5)RRC非激活态转换到RRC空闲态;
示例性地,终端设备处于RRC非激活态时,接入网设备可以通过释放过程,使得终端设备由RRC非激活态转换为RRC空闲态。
二、波束:
5G通信系统或者未来的通信系统中,可以采用波束赋形(beamforming,BF)技术来获得具有良好方向性的波束,以提升天线增益,提高信号在发射方向上的接收功率。该通信系统中的波束赋形不限于高频段,也可应用于小于6GHz的低频段。
波束可以理解为一种通信信道,波束可以是宽波束,也可为窄波束,或其它类型的波束。不同的波束可认为是不同的通信信道,通过不同的波束可发送相同的信息或不同的信息。波束包括发射波束和接收波束,发射波束可以是指信号经天线发射出去时在空间不同方向上形成的信号强度的分布,接收波束可以是指天线阵列对无线信号在空间不同方向上进行加强或削弱接收的分布。可选的,发射波束可以通过配置发射滤波器来实现,接收波束可以通过配置接收滤波器来实现,本申请实施例中所述的滤波器可以包括数字滤波器、模拟滤波或数字模拟混合滤波器,具体不做限定。
三、SSB:
本申请实施例中,SSB可以包括主同步信号(primary synchronisation signal,PSS)、辅同步信号(secondary synchronisation signal,SSS)和物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel,PBCH)中至少一项。如图3所示,在时域上,1个SSB占用4个正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,OFDM)符号(symbol),记为符号0~符号3,在频域上,1个SSB占用20个资源块(resource block,RB)(一个RB包括12个子载波), 也就是240个子载波,子载波编号为0~239。PSS位于符号0的中间的127个子载波上,SSS位于符号2的中间的127个子载波上。为了保护PSS和SSS,分别有各自的保护子载波。保护子载波不用于承载信号,在PSS和SSS两侧分别留有子载波作为保护子载波,如图3中的SSS两侧的空白区域就是保护子载波。PBCH占用符号1和符号3的全部子载波,以及占用符号2的全部子载波中除了SSS所占用的子载波之外的剩余的子载波中的一部分子载波(即剩余的子载波中除了保护子载波之外的子载波)。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例后面的描述中,将OFDM符号简称为符号。
四、CG资源配置:
本申请实施例中,接入网设备可以为终端设备配置至少一套CG资源配置(configuration)。一套CG资源配置可以包括以下至少一项:(1)CG周期(period)的时长;(2)一个CG周期内的重复次数,或者说,一个CG周期内所包括的重复机会的个数,又或者说,一个CG周期内所包括的CG资源(或重复时频资源)的个数;(3)一个CG周期内各CG资源的时频位置信息。其中,一个CG周期内可以包括一个或多个CG资源。一个CG周期内所包括的多个CG资源可以用于重复传输相同的数据,该多个CG资源所传输的数据的冗余版本可以相同或不同。一个CG周期内所包括的多个CG资源,也可以称为多个重复时频资源。该一个CG周期内的多个CG资源中的任意2个不同的CG资源可以是时分的、和/或频分的,不予限制。
一种实现方式中,一套CG资源配置还可以包括其它可能的信息,比如PUSCH的以下一项或多项参数:跳频指示信息(用于指示时隙内或时隙间跳频)、DMRS的配置信息(用于指示DMRS的类型、位置、长度、和/或是否预编码等)、调制和编码方案(modulation and coding scheme,MCS)表格、资源分配方式(可以为类型0(type0)、类型1(type1)或动态切换的资源分配方式)、功控指示信息、混合自动重传请求(hybrid automatic repeat request,HARQ)进程数(比如可以为1~16的一种)和重复传输时使用的冗余版本等,具体不做限定。
五、CG时机(occasion):
CG时机可以是指一个资源单元(时间、频率、DMRS三个维度表示的资源)。一个CG时机对应一个DMRS资源以及一个CG周期中的至少一个CG资源(也可以称为重复时频资源或重复机会)。DMRS资源可以包括DMRS端口和/或DMRS序列。
CG时机可用于终端设备在非连接态时向接入网设备发送上行信息。比如,CG时机可以专用于终端设备在非连接态时发送上行信息;又比如,CG时机可用于终端设备在连接态时发送上行信息,也可用于终端设备在非连接态时发送上行信息。上行信息可以包括上行数据和/或上行信令,上行信令可以包括以下至少一项:物理层的信令、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层的信令、RRC层的信令。这些上行数据和/或上行信令可以携带于终端设备特定的PUSCH上。
一种可能的实现方式中,一个CG时机对应一个CG周期中所有CG资源。举例来说,如图4所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种CG时机分布示意图。假设接入网设备配置的DMRS资源的数量为4,一个CG周期包括8个CG资源,一个CG时机对应一个DMRS资源以及一个CG周期中的8个CG资源,那么如图4所示,一个CG周期中可以包括4个CG时机,分别为CG时机1至CG时机4。
需要说明的是,图4中,是以DMRS资源和时域两个维度去展示CG时机,实际上在 一个CG周期中包括8个CG资源,每个CG时机都对应这8个CG资源,但对应不同的DMRS资源,为了表示清楚,把不同CG时机对应的CG资源分开示意,后面的其它CG时机示意图也是同理。
一种可能的实现方式中,一个CG时机可以对应一个CG周期中的部分CG资源。举例来说,如图5(a)所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种CG时机分布示意图。假设接入网设备配置的DMRS资源的数量为4,一个CG周期包括8个CG资源,一个CG时机对应一个DMRS资源以及一个CG周期中的4个CG资源,那么如图5(a)所示,一个CG周期中可以包括8个CG时机,分别为CG时机1至CG时机8。以CG时机1和CG时机2为例,分别对应相同的DMRS资源,但对应的CG资源不同。
一种可能的实现方式中,一个CG周期中的CG资源,可以平均划分给多个CG时机,类似于图5(a)所示的那样,每个CG时机对应4个CG资源;一个CG周期中的CG资源,也可以不平均划分给多个CG时机,例如,如图5(b)所示,一个CG周期包括8个CG资源,其中的5个CG资源对应一个CG时机,另外3个CG资源对应另一个CG时机。

本申请实施例中,为解决接入网设备不知晓终端设备的信道信息,而造成接收性能损失、接收复杂度高、和/或反馈波束不明确等问题,建立CG资源与下行参考信号之间的对应关系,如此,终端设备可以根据下行参考信号确定CG资源,并在下行参考信号对应的CG资源发送上行数据。接入网设备可以采用相应的接收波束在CG资源上接收上行数据,从而提高上行数据的接收性能,下面将详细描述。
实施例一:
如图6所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种数据传输方法流程示意图。图6中,以接入网设备与终端设备之间交互为例进行说明,接入网设备执行的操作也可以由接入网设备内部的芯片或模块执行,终端设备执行的操作也可以由终端设备内部的芯片或模块执行。参见图6,该方法包括:
S601:接入网设备向终端设备发送第一配置信息。
相应的,S602:终端设备接收来自接入网设备的第一配置信息。
本申请实施例中,第一配置信息用于指示第一套CG资源配置以及第一对应关系;其中,第一对应关系为第一套CG资源配置中的X个CG时机与N1个下行参考信号的对应关系;X、N1为大于0的整数。可选的,第一配置信息还用于指示N1个下行参考信号的配置信息。
需要说明的是,第一配置信息可以指示多套CG资源配置,这里以指示第一套CG资 源配置为例进行说明,并不代表第一配置信息只指示了第一套CG资源配置。
下面分别详细介绍第一配置信息指示的第一套CG资源配置,N1个下行参考信号以及第一对应关系。
1,关于第一套CG资源配置:
如前文所述,第一套CG资源配置可以包括但不限于以下一项或多项信息:
CG周期的时长;一个CG周期内所包括的CG资源(或重复时频资源)的个数,例如可以为1或2或4或8等;一个CG周期内各CG资源的时频位置信息等信息;跳频指示信息,用于指示PUSCH在时隙内或时隙间跳频;PUSCH的DMRS的配置信息,用于指示DMRS的类型、位置、长度、端口、序列和/或是否预编码等;PUSCH的MCS表格,指示所用的调制编码方案表格;PUSCH的资源分配方式,可以为类型0(type0)、类型1(type1)或动态切换的资源分配方式;PUSCH的功控指示信息;PUSCH的HARQ进程数,比如可以为1~16的一种;PUSCH重复传输时使用的冗余版本;CG资源配置的有效时间;和,CG PUSCH配置信息,包括但不限于时频资源、天线端口、上行预编码和层数、和/或MCS指示等,具体不做限定。
上述PUSCH用于承载上行数据。可选的,用于承载上行数据的信道还可以是其它名称,本申请不予限制。
2,关于下行参考信号:
本申请实施例中,下行参考信号包括但不限于SSB,信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS)、定位参考信号(positioning reference signal,PRS)、下行解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS)或其它可能的下行参考信号,具体不做限定。本申请实施例中,将以下行参考信号为SSB为例进行描述,其他情况不再赘述。
参考信号的一个发送周期内可以包括多个下行参考信号,N1个下行参考信号可以为一个发送周期内的部分或全部下行参考信号。例如,以下行参考信号为SSB为例,一个SSB burst set内可以包括多个SSB,N1个下行参考信号可以为一个SSB burst set内的部分或全部SSB。比如若一个SSB burst set内包括4个SSB,分别为SSB1、SSB2、SSB3、SSB4,则N1可以为小于或等于4的正整数,也就是说,N1个下行参考信号可以包括SSB1、SSB2、SSB3、SSB4中的至少一个。又比如,若一个SSB burst set内包括8个SSB,分别为SSB1、SSB2、……、SSB8,则N1可以为小于或等于8的正整数,也就是说,N1个下行参考信号可以包括SSB1、SSB2、……、SSB8中的至少一个。
一种可能的实现方式中,N1个下行参考信号中包括终端设备在进入非激活态时关联的下行参考信号。举例来说,终端设备在RRC连接态时,可以测量下行参考信号(例如SSB、CSI-RS等)并向接入网设备上报测量结果,测量结果中可以包括以下至少一项:参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP)、参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality,RSRQ)、和信号干扰噪声比(signal to interference plus noise ratio,SINR),具体不做限定。接入网设备可以将测量结果大于或等于预设阈值的下行参考信号,或者将测量结果最好的下行参考信号,确定为终端设备在进入非激活态时或者进入非激活态前关联的下行参考信号。当然,终端设备也可以在测量下行参考信号之后,将测量结果大于或等于预设阈值的下行参考信号、或测量结果最好的下行参考信号上报给接入网设备。
本申请实施例中,第一配置信息可以包括第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示N1 个下行参考信号的信息。一种实现方式中,第一指示信息指示N1个下行参考信号的索引;例如,一个参考信号发送周期内包括8下行参考信号,对应的索引分别为1~8,假设N1等于4,N1个下行参考信号的索引分别为2~5,那么第一指示信息包括的索引为2、3、4和5。
另一种实现方式中,第一指示信息指示N1以及目标下行参考信号的索引中的至少一项,目标下行参考信号为N1个下行参考信号中指定位置的下行参考信号。例如,N1个下行参考信号可以根据预设拓展顺序以及目标下行参考信号的索引确定。第一指示信息还可以指示下行参考信号的索引是否循环,如果第一指示信息指示索引是循环的,那么最大索引之后的索引为0,例如最大索引为63,那么63之后的索引为0。
举例来说,以一个参考信号发送周期内包括64个下行参考信号,对应的索引分别为0~63,N1的取值为4为例。示例一,如图7所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种下行参考信号位置示意图。目标下行参考信号的索引为0,目标下行参考信号为4个下行参考信号的起始位置的下行参考信号,如果预设拓展顺序为从左向右或者从小到大,那么第一指示信息指示的4个下行参考信号的索引分别为0、1、2和3。
如果第一指示信息指示索引是循环的,预设拓展顺序为从右向左或者从大到小(循环),那么第一指示信息指示的N1个下行参考信号的索引分别为0、63、62和61。
示例二,如图7所示,目标下行参考信号的索引为21,目标下行参考信号为4个下行参考信号的中间位置的下行参考信号,如果预设拓展顺序为先右后左或者先大后小,那么第一指示信息指示的4个下行参考信号的索引分别为21、22、20和23。
如果预设拓展顺序为先左后右或者先小后大,那么第一指示信息指示的4个下行参考信号的索引分别为21、20、22和19。
示例三,如图7所示,目标下行参考信号的索引为62,目标下行参考信号为4个下行参考信号的起始位置的下行参考信号,如果第一指示信息指示索引是循环的,预设拓展顺序为从左向右或者从小到大(循环),那么第一指示信息指示的4个下行参考信号的索引分别为62、63、0和1。
需要说明的是,目标下行参考信号的索引,可以是协议中约定的,接入网设备配置的,或者可以是终端设备向接入网设备上报的,本申请实施例对此并不限定。示例一到示例三中,指定位置、拓展顺序、是否循环等规则,既可以在第一信息中指示,还可以在协议中约定,或者通过系统消息等其他消息指示。其中,协议中约定还可描述为协议中预定义。
3,关于第一关系:
如前文所述,第一对应关系为第一套CG资源配置中的X个CG时机与N1个下行参考信号的对应关系。其中,X个CG时机位于T1个CG周期中,T1为大于0的整数,一个CG周期包括X/T1个CG时机。这T1个CG周期可以称为CG小包数据传输(small data transmission,SDT)周期或者特殊CG SDT周期等。第一套CG资源配置中包括多个CG SDT周期或者特殊CG SDT周期,每个CG SDT周期或者特殊CG SDT周期均可以与N1个下行参考信号存在第一关系。
本申请实施例中,可以按照预设规则为X个CG时机进行编号,每个CG时机对应一个编号。预设规则可以是指按照CG时机对应的DMRS资源的索引从高到低(或者从低到高)、时域资源的索引从低到高(或者从高到低)、和/或频域资源的索引从低到高(或者从高到低)的顺序为CG时机进行编号。一种可能的实现方式中,每个CG周期中的CG时机独立编 号,也就是说不同CG周期中的CG时机的编号可能互相重复。例如,如图8所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种编号示意图。图8中,以X=8,T1=2,每个CG周期中包括4个CG资源为例,一个CG时机对应一个CG周期中的4个CG资源。每个CG周期中的CG时机的编号依次为1、2、3和4,其中,对于第1个CG周期,编号为1的CG时机对应4个CG资源和一个DMRS资源,编号为1的CG时机对应4个CG资源和一个DMRS资源,其它情况不再赘述。
另一种可能的实现方式中,T1个CG周期中的CG时机统一编号,也就是说不同CG周期中的CG时机的编号可能不重复。例如,如图9所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种编号示意图。图9中,以X=8,T1=4,每个CG周期中包括4个CG资源为例,一个CG时机对应一个CG周期中所有CG资源。第1个CG周期中的CG时机的编号依次为1和2;第2个CG周期中的CG时机的编号依次为3和4,第3个CG周期中的CG时机的编号依次为5和6;第4个CG周期中的CG时机的编号依次为7和8。其中,对于第1个CG周期,编号为1的CG时机对应4个CG资源和一个DMRS资源,编号为2的CG时机对应4个CG资源和一个DMRS资源,其它情况不再赘述。
本申请实施例中,一个CG时机对应N1个下行参考信号中的一个或多个下行参考信号,或者说一个下行参考信号对应一个或多个CG时机,下面分不同情况讨论。
情况一:T1个CG周期中的每个CG周期对应N1个下行参考信号,每个下行参考信号对应相同数量的CG时机,即1个下行参考信号在一个CG周期中对应(X/T1)/N1个CG时机。
在该情况中,T1个CG周期中的每个CG周期可以对应N1个下行参考信号,假设每个CG周期包括M个CG时机,一个CG时机对应P个下行参考信号,那么P*M=N1。只需要配置P、M、N1三个参数中的任意两个,即可推算出剩余一个参数。对于该三个参数中的任意一个参数,该参数可以是协议约定的,或者是接入网设备通过信令通知终端设备的,不予限制。不同参数的配置方法可以相同,也可以不同,不予限制。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,可以将一个CG时机对应的下行参考信号的数量称为映射率(mapping ratio)。
举例来说,假设配置的N1=2个下行参考信号为SSB1和SSB2,X=4,T1=2,每个CG周期中的CG时机独立编号,即每个CG周期中包括CG时机1和CG时机2,此时每个CG周期对应这2个下行参考信号,每个CG周期中的CG时机1可以对应SSB1,每个CG周期中的CG时机2可以对应SSB2。
情况二:T1个CG周期中的每个CG周期对应N1个下行参考信号,不同下行参考信号可能对应不同数量的CG时机。
方法一:配置各个下行参考信号对应的CG周期或CG时机,其中至少存在两个下行参考信号对应的CG周期或CG时机的数量不同;
或者,配置N1个下行参考信号中的至少一个下行参考信号与X个CG时机中第一数量的CG时机对应,且至少一个下行参考信号中的每个下行参考信号对应不同数量的CG时机;N1个下行参考信号中除该至少一个下行参考信号之外的下行参考信号,与X个CG时机中除第一数量的CG时机之外的CG时机对应,且每个下行参考信号对应相同数量的CG时机。
举例来说,假设配置的N1=2个下行参考信号为SSB1和SSB2,X=8,T1=2,每个CG周期中的CG时机独立编号,即每个CG周期中包括的CG时机的编号均为CG时机1至CG时机4,此时可以配置每个CG周期中的CG时机1至CG时机3对应SSB1,每个CG周期中的CG时机4对应SSB2。
方法二:N1个下行参考信号中各个下行参考信号对应的CG周期或CG时机数量的比值为预设比值,其中至少两个下行参考信号对应的CG周期或CG时机数量的比值不等于1。
举例来说,假设配置的N1=2个下行参考信号为SSB1和SSB2,SSB1和SSB2对应的CG时机数量的比值为1:3。例如,X=8,T1=2,每个CG周期中的CG时机独立编号,即每个CG周期中包括CG时机1至CG时机4,每个CG周期中的CG时机1对应SSB1,每个CG周期中的CG时机2至CG时机4对应SSB2。
情况三:T1个CG周期对应N1个下行参考信号,每个下行参考信号对应相同数量的CG时机,即一个CG时机对应N1/X个下行参考信号。
在该情况中,假设每个CG周期包括M个CG时机,一个CG时机对应P个下行参考信号,那么P*M*T1=N1。接入网设备只需要配置P、M、T1、N1四个参数中的任意三个,即可推算出剩余一个参数。对于该四个参数中的任意一个参数,该参数可以是协议约定的,或者是接入网设备通过信令通知终端设备的,不予限制。不同参数的配置方法可以相同,也可以不同,不予限制。
举例来说,假设配置的N1=2个下行参考信号为SSB1和SSB2,X=8,T1=2,T1个CG周期中的CG时机统一编号,即X个CG时机分别为CG时机1至CG时机8,此时,CG时机1至CG时机4可以对应SSB1,CG时机5至CG时机8对应SSB2。
情况四:T1个CG周期对应N1个下行参考信号,不同下行参考信号可能对应不同数量的CG时机。
和情况二类似,可以配置不同下行参考信号对应的CG周期或CG时机的数量,其中至少存在两个下行参考信号对应的CG周期或CG时机的数量不同;或者配置不同下行参考信号对应的CG周期或CG时机的数量的比值,其中至少两个下行参考信号对应的CG周期或CG时机数量的比值不等于1。
举例来说,假设配置的N1=3个下行参考信号为SSB1、SSB2和SSB3,如图10所示,配置SSB1、SSB2和SSB3对应的CG周期的比值为1:2:4,那么SSB1可以对应1个CG周期,即对应CG周期1;SSB2可以对应2个CG周期,即对应CG周期2至CG周期3;SSB3可以对应3个CG周期,即对应CG周期4至CG周期7。
以上只是示例,还可能存在其他对应情况,在此不再一一列举。
本申请实施例中,接入网设备可以配置多个对应关系,例如接入网设备发送第二配置信息,第二配置信息用于指示N2个下行参考信号以及第二对应关系;第二对应关系为第一套CG资源配置中的Y个CG时机与N2个下行参考信号的对应关系。Y个CG时机位于T2个CG周期中,Y、T2为大于0的整数,一个CG周期包括Y/T2个CG时机,第一套CG资源配置中,可以每T2个周期中的Y个CG时机与N2个下行参考信号存在第二关系。第二对应关系的具体内容,可以参考第一关系的描述,在此不再赘述。第一配置信息和第二配置信息可以通过同一个消息发送,也可以通过不同消息发送,本申请实施例对此并不限定。
T2个CG周期与T1个CG周期为不同的周期。举例来说,如图11所示,以X=8,T1=4,Y=8,T2=2为例,X个CG时机位于CG周期1至CG周期4中,Y个CG时机位于CG周期5至CG周期6中,T2个CG周期与T1个CG周期为相邻的周期。
另外,N2可以大于N1,也可以小于N1,N2个下行参考信号和N1个下行参考信号可以存在相同的下行参考信号,也可以不存在相同的下行参考信号。
当接入网设备同时配置第一对应关系和第二对应关系时,包括X个CG时机的T1个CG 周期与包括Y个CG时机的T2个CG周期之间的比例并不限定,例如可以为1:1,举例来说,如图12所示,T1个CG周期包括1个CG周期,T2个CG周期包括2个CG周期,T1个CG周期和T2个CG周期之间交错排列。当然,第一套CG资源配置中T1个CG周期和T2个CG周期之间的比例还可以为其它情况,在此不再逐一举例。
T2个CG周期中每个CG周期包括的CG时机的数量,可以与T1个CG周期中每个CG周期包括的CG时机的数量相同,也可以不同,本申请实施例对此并不限定。例如,还是参考图12所示,T2个CG周期中每个CG周期包括4个CG时机,T1个CG周期中每个CG周期包括2个CG时机。
可选的,S603:接入网设备向终端设备发送N1个下行参考信号。
接入网设备在一个下行参考信号发送周期中发送的下行参考信号的数量大于或等于N1,比如,下行参考信号为SSB,若一个SSB burst set内包括8个SSB,分别为SSB1、SSB2、……、SSB8,N1可以为小于或等于8的正整数,例如N1=4,那么N1个下行参考信号可以包括SSB1、SSB2、SSB3、SSB4。
需要说明的是,一个下行参考信号可以对应一个发射波束。例如,如图13所示,SSB1对应发射波束1,SSB2对应发射波束2,SSB3对应发射波束3,SSB4对应发射波束4,其中,下行参考信号和发射波束的对应关系,可以是接入网设备预先配置的。该对应关系可以告知给终端设备,也可以不告知。
可选的,S604:终端设备接收来自接入网设备的N1个下行参考信号,并从N1个下行参考信号中确定第一下行参考信号,通过第一对应关系中与第一下行参考信号对应的CG时机发送上行数据。
需要说明的是,终端设备此时可以处于非连接态,例如终端设备为RRC非激活态。
终端设备可以通过对N1个下行参考信号进行测量,可以得到N1个下行参考信号的测量值。其中,每个下行参考信号的测量值可以包括以下至少一项:RSRP、RSRQ、和SINR。
示例性地,终端设备根据N1个下行参考信号的测量值,从N1个下行参考信号中选择第一下行参考信号的方式可以有多种。比如,终端设备根据N1个下行参考信号的测量值,确定出N1个下行参考信号中测量值大于或等于第一阈值的一个或多个下行参考信号(比如下行参考信号1和下行参考信号2),进而从这些下行参考信号中选择其中一个下行参考信号(比如下行参考信号1)作为第一下行参考信号;其中,第一阈值可以根据实际需要进行设置,可以为接入网设备配置的,也可以为终端设备自主设置的,具体不做限定。
一种可能的实现方式中,如果存在多个下行参考信号中测量值大于或等于第一阈值,也可以通过多个下行参考信号对应的CG时机发送上行数据。例如,存在2个下行参考信号,分别为SSB1和SSB2,其中CG时机1对应SSB1,CG时机2对应SSB2。若终端设备确定SSB1和SSB2的测量值均高于第一阈值,则可以通过CG时机1和CG时机2发送上行数据。
又比如,终端设备根据N1个下行参考信号的测量值,从N1个下行参考信号中选择测量值最大的下行参考信号作为第一下行参考信号。该N1个下行参考信号的测量值都小于第一阈值,或者该N1个下行参考信号中至少一个下行参考信号的测量值大于等于第一阈值。
需要说明的是,如果第一下行参考信号对应多个CG时机,可以从该多个CG时机中选择一个CG时机发送上行数据,也可以选择至少两个CG时机发送上行数据,本申请并 不限定。另外,终端设备通过CG时机发送上行数据时,可以使用CG时机中的部分或全部CG资源发送上行数据,例如一个CG时机包括8个CG资源,终端设备可以只使用其中的4个CG资源发送上行数据。终端设备具体使用几个CG资源以及使用哪几个CG资源,可以由协议约定,也可以由终端设备自主确定,还可以根据其他方式确定,本申请实施例对此并不限定。
一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备还可以通过与第一下行参考信号对应的CG时机发送测量结果,测量结果包括N1个下行参考信号的测量值,或者测量结果包括第一下行参考信号的测量值。
S605:接入网设备接收来自终端设备的上行数据。
接入网设备可以在N1个下行参考信号对应的CG时机中,采用相应的接收波束接收终端设备的上行数据。例如,若终端设备测量得到SSB1的测量值最高或较高,则可以在SSB1对应的CG时机1上采用SSB1对应的发射波束1发送上行数据。相应地,接入网设备可以在所配置的CG时机上采用相应波束去尝试接收。比如接入网设备可以采用发射波束1关联的接收波束1在CG时机1上去尝试接收,从而可以接收到终端设备发送的上行数据。其中,由于接收波束1与发射波束1具有较高关联度,从而能够有效提高接入网设备的接收性能。
采用上述方式,由于接入网设备可以为终端设备配置X个CG时机对应N1个下行参考信号,因此,当终端设备在某个下行参考信号对应的CG时机上发送上行数据时,接入网设备可以采用相应的接收波束在该CG时机上接收上行数据,从而能够有效提高接入网设备的接收性能。另一方面,由于N1个下行参考信号可能只是一个发送周期中的下行部分参考信号,因此可以降低配置的复杂度,减少配置的信令开销。
本申请实施例中,还可以对第一对应关系进行更新,一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备向接入网设备发送请求消息,该请求消息可以用于请求更新第一对应关系。接入网设备接收到该请求消息,则可以向终端设备发送重配置信息,重配置信息用于更新第一对应关系。本申请实施例中,重配置信息可以承载于DCI、MAC控制元素(control element CE)或者RRC消息中,具体并不限定。
另一种可能的实现方式中,接入网设备也可以主动发送重配置信息,此种情形下,终端设备无需向接入网设备发送请求消息。
本申请实施例中,触发终端设备向接入网设备发送请求消息的原因可以有多种。举个例子,一个下行参考信号发送周期中包括下行参考信号1和下行参考信号2,还包括其它可能的下行参考信号。终端设备确定下行参考信号2的测量值大于下行参考信号发送周期中其它下行参考信号的测量值(即下行参考信号2的测量值最大)后,若确定符合以下情形1和情形2中的至少一种,则可以向接入网设备发送请求消息。其中,情形1:下行参考信号2没有对应的CG资源,也就是说,下行参考信号2不属于N1个下行参考信号。情形2:下行参考信号2对应的CG资源的数量较少,比如下行参考信号2对应的CG资源的数量小于N1个下行参考信号中其它参考信号对应的CG资源的数量。
采用上述方式,由于接入网设备可以向终端设备发送重配置信息,来更新第一对应关系,从而当终端设备在非连接态下移动时,能够及时灵活地调整CG时机与下行参考信号的对应关系,使得终端设备在选择当前下行参考信号后,能够有更多的CG时机来发送上行数据,以保证终端设备在非连接态时的数据传输。
实施例二:
终端设备和接入网设备之间可以采用多个HARQ进程来进行数据传输,以支持多个数据包的并行传输。一个HARQ进程可以包括从初始传输到最终收到确认(acknowledge,ACK)(即收到接收方确认正确接收数据包的信息)的全部过程,或者包括从初始传输到超过最大重传次数的全部过程。可选地,这两个过程中可以包括接收否定应答(negative acknowledgement,NACK)、发送重传等过程。这一全部过程可以用一个HARQ进程号来标记,这样由于初传与重传的HARQ进程号相同,从而可以建立起初传数据包与重传数据包之间的关系,便于接收方正确接收。当终端设备和接入网设备之间采用多个HARQ进程时,意味着可以有多个这样的过程并行,即在一个HARQ进程的过程未结束时,可同时进行其他HARQ进程的传输过程。
在动态调度的数据传输中,接入网设备可以使用下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)调度一个PUSCH/PDSCH,该DCI中可以包括一个用于指示HARQ进程号的字段。例如,可以用4个比特来指示HARQ进程号(HARQ进程号的取值范围为0~15),标记该PUSCH/PDSCH上传输的数据包的HARQ进程号。
然而,在基于CG资源的数据传输中,由于没有DCI动态调度,因此,接入网设备与终端设备之间没有动态显式指示HARQ进程号的方法,为此,本申请实施例中提供至少三种确定HARQ进程号的方法,下面以包括X个CG时机的T1个CG周期为例,分别进行描述,其它情况不再赘述。
方法一:T1个CG周期中,所有CG时机的HARQ进程号相同,即X个CG时机对应相同的HARQ进程号。
例如,对于与N1个下行参考信号存在第一对应关系的X个CG时机,所有CG时机对应的HARQ进程号,均根据T1个CG周期中第i个CG周期包括的PUSCH的起始时间位置(比如起始符号或第一个符号)确定,i为大于等于1且小于等于T1的整数。举例来说,终端设备与接入网设备可以通过如下公式来确定HARQ进程号:
HARQ Process ID=[floor(CURRENT_symbol/periodicity)]modulo nrofHARQ-Processes+harq-ProcID-Offset2;
其中,HARQ Process ID表示HARQ进程号,CURRENT_symbol表示PUSCH的起始符号;
CURRENT_symbol=(SFN×numberOfSlotsPerFrame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot+slot number in the frame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot+symbol number in the slot)。其中,CURRENT_symbol具体表示哪个CG周期包括的PUSCH的起始符号由参数SFN、参数slot number in the frame和参数symbol number in the slot确定。当CURRENT_symbol表示第i个CG周期包括的PUSCH的起始符号时,参数SFN的取值为第i个CG周期包括的CG时机的起始符号所在的系统帧帧号,参数slot number in the frame的取值为第i个CG周期包括的CG时机的起始符号所在的时隙在系统帧中的时隙号,参数symbol number in the slot的取值为第i个CG周期包括的CG时机的起始符号在时隙中的符号编号。
上述公式中各个参数的含义,可以参见表1所示。
表1:各个参数的含义
需要说明的是,在方法一中,每个CG时机对应的下行参考信号的数量可以大于1。
在该方法中,由于一个HARQ进程号可以对应多个CG时机,当终端设备需要使用HARQ进程号时,可以根据对应的下行参考信号使用该X个CG时机中的任意一个CG时机。
方法二:T1个CG周期中,每个CG周期对应一个独立的HARQ进程号,不同CG周期对应的HARQ进程号大概率不同,即X个CG时机中,位于相同CG周期的CG时机对应相同的HARQ进程号。
具体的,对于与N1个下行参考信号存在第一对应关系的X个CG时机,这X个CG时机位于T1个CG周期,对于T1个CG周期中的任一CG周期,该CG周期中包括的CG时机对应的HARQ进程号是根据该CG周期中PUSCH的起始时间位置(比如起始符号或第一个符号)确定。举例来说,终端设备与接入网设备可以通过如下公式来确定HARQ进程号:
HARQ Process ID=[floor(CURRENT_symbol/periodicity)]modulo nrofHARQ-Processes+harq-ProcID-Offset2;
其中,HARQ Process ID表示HARQ进程号,CURRENT_symbol表示PUSCH的起始符号;
CURRENT_symbol=(SFN×numberOfSlotsPerFrame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot+slot number in the frame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot+symbol number in the slot)。其中,参数SFN的取值为该CG周期包括的CG时机的起始符号所在的系统帧帧号,参数slot number in the frame的取值为该CG周期包括的CG时机的起始符号所在的时隙在系统帧中的时隙号,参数symbol number in the slot的取值为该CG周期包括的CG时机的起始符号在时隙中的符号编号。
上述公式中各个参数的含义可以参考前面的描述,在此不再赘述。
一种实现方式中,该CG周期中包括的每个CG时机对应一个下行参考信号。
上面的方法中,X个CG时机对应多个HARQ进程号,终端设备选择的下行参考信号对应的CG时机可以对应多个HARQ进程号,如果终端设备需要选用特定的HARQ进程号,从而有较大机会获得需要的HARQ进程,提高数据传输的灵活性。
方法三:T1个CG周期中,每个CG周期对应多个HARQ进程号,一个CG周期中不同CG时机对应的HARQ进程号独立设置(大概率不同),即X个CG时机中,不同CG时机对应各自的HARQ进程号。
具体的,对于与N1个下行参考信号存在第一对应关系的X个CG时机,这X个CG时机位于T1个CG周期,对于T1个CG周期中的任一CG周期,该CG周期中任一CG时机对应的HARQ进程号是根据该CG周期中PUSCH的起始时间位置(比如起始符号或第一个符号)以及该CG时机包括的DMRS资源确定的。举例来说,终端设备与接入网设备可以通过如下公式来确定HARQ进程号:
HARQ Process ID={[floor(CURRENT_symbol/periodicity)]+f(DMRS-Index)}modulo nrofHARQ-Processes+harq-ProcID-Offset2;
其中,HARQ Process ID表示HARQ进程号,CURRENT_symbol表示PUSCH的起始符号;
CURRENT_symbol=(SFN×numberOfSlotsPerFrame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot+slot number in the frame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot+symbol number in the slot);其中,参数SFN的取值为该CG周期包括的CG时机的起始符号所在的系统帧帧号,参数slot number in the frame的取值为该CG周期包括的CG时机的起始符号所在的时隙在系统帧中的时隙号,参数symbol number in the slot的取值为该CG周期包括的CG时机的起始符号在时隙中的符号编号。
DMRS-Index为CG时机包括的DMRS资源的DMRS索引,f(DMRS-Index)为关于DMRS索引的函数,例如,f(DMRS-Index)=k*DMRS-Index+b,k、b为系数,例如k和b为正整数。
一种实现方式中,该CG周期中包括的CG时机对应多个下行参考信号。
上面的方法中,每个CG时机对应至少一个HARQ进程号,每个CG周期中对应多个HARQ进程号,可以提高终端设备选择HARQ进程号的灵活性,避免在需要传输时,无法获得需要的HARQ进程,提高数据传输的灵活性。
针对于上述实施例一至实施例二,需要说明的是:
