technical field

The present application belongs to the field of communication technologies, and specifically relates to an information determination method and device, the device includes an information determination device, a terminal, and the like.

Unlicensed frequency bands are shared by a variety of technologies (RATs). Therefore, the use of unlicensed frequency bands must comply with some rules, such as Listen Before Talk (LBT), Maximum Channel Occupancy Time (MCOT) etc. to ensure that all communication nodes can use the resource fairly.

Using the LBT mechanism can solve some of the channel interference problems, but cannot solve the hidden node interference problem. As shown in Figure 1, the next generation Node-B1 (Next Generation Node-B1, gNB1) performs LBT before sending data and detects that the channel is empty, so gNB1 sends data to user terminal 1 (User Equipment 1, UE1), and UE1 receives it. data. At this point, if User Equipment 2 (UE2) has data to send, UE2 performs LBT. Because gNB1 is far away from UE2, UE1 is in the receiving state, so UE2 detects that the channel is empty, and UE2 starts to send data. However, due to the close distance between UE2 and UE1, UE1 can receive the data sent by UE2. At this time, UE2 can be called a hidden node of UE1, and UE1 receiving data from gNB1 will be interfered by the hidden node (UE2).

The method and apparatus for determining information provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

An embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining information, the method is performed by a receiving end, and the method includes the following steps: receiving first information sent by a sending end; the first information is information supported by both the sending end and the receiving end; information determines whether to perform LBT and/or feed back auxiliary information.

Correspondingly, the method at the sending end includes: sending first information, where the first information is used to indicate whether the receiving end performs LBT and/or feeds back auxiliary information; and when receiving the auxiliary information fed back by the receiving end, sending the information to the receiving end.

In this way, whether the receiving end performs LBT and/or whether to feed back auxiliary information is triggered by the first information, and the transmitting end sends information to the receiving end only after receiving the auxiliary information fed back by the receiving end, so as to avoid interference of hidden nodes.

As shown in FIG. 3 , an embodiment of the present application provides a method 300 for determining information. The method can be executed by a terminal. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed in the terminal. The method includes the following steps.

S302: The terminal acquires the first information.

The embodiments of the present application may be applied to scenarios of unlicensed frequency bands (or shared spectrum), and the first information may be information that has been defined or used in NR related technologies, or may be implemented with minor changes to existing protocols. Information, for example, the first information is a media access control control unit (Media Access Control-Control Element, MAC CE) or downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI) and other signaling, such as a specific DCI format (DCI format), etc. .

When the DCI format is an existing DCI format, the network-side device may also configure the terminal, and use the DCI format to trigger the terminal whether to perform Listen Before Talk (LBT) and/or whether to feed back auxiliary information , this example does not need to change the protocol; alternatively, the DCI format may also be newly defined by the protocol, which is used to trigger whether the terminal performs LBT and/or whether to feed back auxiliary information, and the changes to the protocol are minor.

The first information may be used to trigger whether the terminal performs LBT and/or whether to feed back auxiliary information, and the like. Optionally, the first information includes at least one of the following: a field (field) in the DCI, an indication value of the field in the DCI, a radio network temporary identity (Radio Network Temporary Identity, RNTI) that scrambles the DCI, a DCI format, a search Space set (search space set), search space set grouping, downlink channel, downlink signal, channel occupied time information.

It can be understood that, according to the type of the first information, S302 can also obtain the first information through different ways. For example, when the first information is a downlink channel or signal, the terminal in S302 can receive the downlink channel or signal; When a piece of information is a specific DCI format, the terminal can detect the DCI format in S302; and so on.

S304: The terminal determines whether to perform LBT and/or feed back auxiliary information according to the first information.

This embodiment may determine whether to perform LBT according to the first information; or determine whether to feed back auxiliary information according to the first information; or determine whether to perform LBT and whether to feed back auxiliary information according to the first information.

In this embodiment, for example, the first information includes a DCI format, and if the received DCI format is in the first format, LBT is performed and/or the auxiliary information is fed back; otherwise, if the received DCI format is not in the first format In this case, LBT is not performed and no auxiliary information is fed back. Or, in the case where the format of the received DCI is the second format, LBT is not performed and the assistance information is not fed back; on the contrary, in the case where the format of the received DCI is not the second format, LBT and/or feedback assistance is performed information.

Performing LBT and/or feeding back auxiliary information mentioned in the various embodiments of the present application may include one of the following: 1) performing LBT, and feeding back auxiliary information when the listening result of the channel is idle; 2) not performing LBT, directly Feedback auxiliary information.

The auxiliary information mentioned in the various embodiments of the present application may include at least one of the following: 1) the listening result of the channel, that is, the busy/idle state of the channel; 2) the channel state information (Channel State Information, CSI) report.

In an example, the channel mentioned in 1) above includes multiple sub-channels; wherein, the listening result of the channel includes the listening result of each sub-channel in the multiple sub-channels, that is, the free/idle status of each sub-channel state.

In this embodiment of the present application, the first information is used to trigger whether the terminal performs LBT and/or whether to feed back auxiliary information. The network side device only sends information to the terminal after receiving the auxiliary information fed back by the terminal to avoid interference from hidden nodes. In addition, the solution of triggering whether the terminal performs LBT and/or whether to feed back auxiliary information through the first information is easy to implement, and at the same time, the complexity of detecting the first information by the terminal is reduced, and it is convenient to reduce the power consumption of the terminal.

In the information determination method provided by the embodiment of the present application, on the shared spectrum, when the terminal needs to assist the network side device in channel access and transmission, the existing first information can be used to trigger the terminal to perform LBT and/or feed back auxiliary information , reducing the impact on the protocol, reducing the complexity of terminal detection, and saving terminal power consumption.

In order to solve the problem of hidden node interference, a handshake mechanism of Request To Send/Clear To Send (RTS/CTS) is introduced in the related art. The source node sends RTS before data transmission. The RTS carries the network allocation vector (NAV) value and the address of the destination node, indicating how long the node will occupy the channel. Nodes that receive this RTS will not attempt data transmission within the NAV time. After receiving the RTS, the destination node replies with a CTS, which carries the NAV value and the address of the source node. A node that receives a CTS will not attempt to transmit within the NAV time. This avoids the hidden node problem around the destination node. The information fed back by the destination node, such as the above CTS, may be called receiver assisted information.

The New Radio (NR) protocol does not support instructing the terminal to send auxiliary information. Therefore, the above RTS/CTS signaling cannot be directly applied to the NR protocol. One of the technical means available for NR is to introduce new channels and signaling to trigger terminals to send auxiliary information, such as RTS-Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH). This scheme makes great changes to the protocol, and needs to discuss the design of new channels and signaling; at the same time, it increases the type of PDCCH that the terminal needs to detect, and improves the complexity of terminal detection.

In this scenario, the network side device can use the first information as a transmission request (Request To Send, RTS), and the terminal can use the feedback auxiliary information as a transmission confirmation (Clear To Send, CTS), so as to solve the hidden node interference in the related art At the same time, the modification to the existing protocol is small, and the design scheme that does not require new channels and signaling is easy to implement, and the complexity of detecting the first information by the terminal is reduced, which is convenient for reducing the power consumption of the terminal. Of course, it can be understood that the application scenarios of the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this, and can also be applied to other scenarios that require the terminal to assist the network side device in channel access and transmission.

As mentioned in the foregoing embodiment, the first information includes at least one of the following: a field in the DCI, an indication value of the field in the DCI, an RNTI for scrambled DCI, a DCI format, a search space set, a search space set grouping, a downlink channel, Downlink signals, channel occupancy time information, etc., the following describes the information determination method provided by the embodiment of the present application in detail with respect to the above-mentioned different first information.

Option One

The first information includes fields in the DCI. Determining whether to perform LBT and/or feeding back auxiliary information according to the first information mentioned in Embodiment 300 includes at least one of the following.

1) In the case that the received DCI includes the first domain, perform LBT and/or feed back auxiliary information.

2) In the case where the received DCI does not include the first domain, LBT is not performed and the auxiliary information is not fed back.

It is worth noting that the above-mentioned first value of 1 and second value of 0 are only for exemplary illustration, and the first value of 0 and the second value of 1 are also one of the implementation manners of the second solution.

In the two examples of 1) and 2) above, the second field in the DCI may be used to indicate whether the terminal performs LBT and/or feeds back auxiliary information. The second field may use a reserved field in the DCI, or may be a newly defined indication field.

Optionally, in an example, the second field in the DCI of the above 1) and 2) can be specially used to indicate whether the terminal performs LBT and/or feedback auxiliary information, and is not used for other purposes, reducing the complexity of the terminal implementation. .

1) In the case where the format of the received DCI is the first format, LBT is not performed and the auxiliary information is not fed back.

2) If the format of the received DCI is not the first format, perform LBT and/or feed back auxiliary information.

The specific first format may be an existing DCI format or a newly introduced DCI format. If there is an existing DCI format, in addition to performing the behavior indicated by the existing DCI format, the terminal also needs to perform additional LBT and/or feedback auxiliary information.

Optionally, before the implementation of this embodiment, the terminal may further receive second configuration information, where the second configuration information is used to configure DCI in the first format and the like for the terminal.

In order to describe in detail the information determination method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the following will be described with reference to several specific embodiments.

Example 1

In this embodiment, without changing the existing DCI, a specific RNTI can be used to scramble the DCI to instruct a terminal (eg, UE) to perform LBT and/or feed back auxiliary information. For example, when the DCI detected by the UE is scrambled by RTS-RNTI, the UE is triggered to perform LBT and/or feed back auxiliary information. If the DCI detected by the UE is scrambled by an RNTI other than the RTS-RNTI, it means that the UE does not need to feed back auxiliary information and does not need to perform LBT.

In addition, in this embodiment, a specific DCI format may be used to instruct the UE to perform LBT and/or feed back auxiliary information. Once the UE detects the specific DCI format, it starts to do LBT and/or feed back auxiliary information. The specific DCI format may be an existing DCI format or a newly introduced DCI format. If there is an existing DCI format, in addition to performing the behavior indicated by the existing DCI format, the UE additionally performs LBT and/or feeds back auxiliary information.

When the UE performs LBT and/or feeds back auxiliary information, it means that the UE can perform LBT first, and feed back the auxiliary information when the channel is empty. It is also possible to directly feed back auxiliary information without performing LBT, and the following embodiments are similar.

Embodiment 2

In this embodiment, a dedicated field is used in the existing DCI to indicate whether the UE needs to perform LBT and/or feedback auxiliary information. For example, a field in the DCI that triggers one or more aperiodic CSI reports can be simultaneously used to trigger the UE to do LBT and/or feed back auxiliary information. When the UE receives the DCI including the CSI request field, in addition to triggering AP CSI-RS measurement and reporting, it also performs LBT and/or feedback auxiliary information after receiving the CSI request field.

In addition, the above-mentioned dedicated domain can be configured through radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC). When the RRC configures the dedicated domain, there are corresponding bits in the DCI. If the RRC does not configure the dedicated field, there is no corresponding bit in the DCI.

For example, add a 1-bit field in the UE-specific DCI, or use 1 bit in the reserved field, or add a field in the GC-PDCCH, that is, DCI 2_0 (the number of bits in this field can be greater than or equal to 1, respectively Corresponding to the indication of different cells), this field indicates whether the UE needs to do LBT and/or feed back auxiliary information. When the bit value of this field is 1, it indicates that the UE needs to perform LBT and/or feedback auxiliary information. When the bit value of this field is 0, it indicates that the UE does not need to feed back auxiliary information (and therefore does not need to do LBT). The reserved field can be a field reserved when any parameter in the existing DCI is invalid, such as a new data indicator field or a HARQ process number field when DCI 0_0 is scrambled by TC-RNTI; or a padding bit (paddingbits), a part of reserved bits (reserved bits).

Embodiment 3

The UE is triggered to do LBT and/or feed back auxiliary information by setting specific values to certain fields in the existing DCI. For example, at least one of the TDRA, FDRA, MCS, RV, HARQ process number and other fields in the UE-specific DCI is set to be all 0 or all 1, respectively, to trigger the UE to perform LBT and/or feed back auxiliary information.

For DCI 2_0, at least one of the fields such as Slot Format Indicator (SFI), Available Resource Block Set Indicator (Available RB set Indicator), and Channel Occupancy Time Period Indicator (COT duration indicator) can be set to a specific value . According to the agreement, the UE interprets the DCI set with a special value as triggering the UE to perform LBT and/or feed back auxiliary information. In addition, a specific value may also be set for the Search space set group switching flag in DCI 2_0. For example, when the value of the Search space set group switching flag is 1, the UE is triggered to perform LBT and/or feed back auxiliary information. When the Search space set group switching flag is set to 0, the UE does not need to feed back auxiliary information.

Embodiment 4

Can be triggered by detection of DCI in one or more search space sets configured for RTS transmission. For example, the search space set is displayed as configured for RTS transmission or if certain conditions are met, for example, the RTS payload size (payload size) is configured, and after the PDCCH is detected in the search space set, the UE is triggered to perform LBT and/or feedback auxiliary information.

In addition, it is also possible to use different groups of search space sets to indicate whether the UE needs to perform LBT and/or feedback auxiliary information by grouping the search space sets. For example, the search space set is divided into at least two groups, and the UE will receive the group index (group index) corresponding to each search space set. When the UE detects the PDCCH corresponding to the search space set of a specific group number, the UE is triggered to perform LBT and/or feed back auxiliary information.

For example, divide the search space set into two groups. When the UE detects the PDCCH corresponding to the search space set group0, the UE performs LBT and/or feeds back auxiliary information. After the UE has fed back the auxiliary information, it switches to detecting the PDCCH corresponding to the search space set group1. When the UE detects the PDCCH corresponding to the search space set group1, the UE does not feed back auxiliary information (and therefore does not need to do LBT). After the channel occupation time ends, the UE can switch to monitor the PDCCH corresponding to the search space set group0.

Embodiment 5

In this embodiment, the UE may jointly determine whether to perform LBT and/or feed back auxiliary information by detecting any downlink signal and channel occupancy time information (or remaining channel occupancy time).

For example, when the gNB indicates that the UE needs to feed back auxiliary information, if the UE detects a downlink signal for the first time after a COT (gNB or COT initiated by the UE) ends, the UE is triggered to perform LBT and/or feed back the auxiliary information. If the downlink signal detected by the UE contains the channel occupation time information; or the detected downlink signal does not contain the channel occupation time, but the UE subsequently detects the channel occupation time indication, the UE stops feeding back the auxiliary information (so it does not need to do LBT) .

Among them, the gNB can explicitly indicate that the UE needs to feed back auxiliary information through broadcast signaling, RRC signaling, etc.; or implicitly indicate through other information, for example, when the UE works in a specific frequency band, the auxiliary information needs to be fed back.

Embodiment 6

In the foregoing embodiments, the auxiliary information fed back by the UE may include a result of the UE listening to the channel. If there is only one LBT bandwidth (LBT bandwidth), the UE can feed back an ACK indicating that the channel is empty. If the channel has a large bandwidth and contains multiple LBT bandwidths, it needs to listen on multiple LBT bandwidths, and the UE can feed back the listening results of multiple channels. The busy/idle status of each LBT bandwidth needs to be fed back, and the number of bits of feedback information depends on the number of LBT bandwidths. Each bit corresponds to the channel state of one LBT bandwidth. A bit value of 1 indicates an acknowledgment (ACK), or the channel of the LBT is empty, and a bit value of 0 indicates a negation (NACK), or the channel of the LBT is busy.

The LBT bandwidth here can also be called resource block set (RB set), subband (subband), subchannel (subchannel), etc., which can be the bandwidth used for one LBT.

In addition, the auxiliary information fed back by the UE may also include other measurement reports such as the aperiodic CSI report in the second embodiment.
