Description

一种确定PTRS图案的方法和装置
本申请要求于2021年04月27日提交中国专利局、申请号为202110460528.7、申请名称为“一种确定PTRS图案的方法和装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,并且,更具体地,涉及确定PTRS图案的方法和装置。
背景技术
高频(6G以上频段,包括28G、39G、60G、73G等)的频段资源丰富,现成为研究和开发的热点。高频的特点是大带宽、高集成天线阵列,从而实现高吞吐量,与此同时也带来了严重的中射频失真问题。例如相位噪声(phase noise,PHN),中心频率偏移(carrier frequency offset,CFO)、以及多普勒频移,三者均会引入相位误差,导致高频通信系统的性能下降甚至无法工作。
以相位噪声为例,随着频段的增加,相位噪声功率谱密度越高,对接收信号影响越大。也就是说当频段较高时,相噪会恶化,从而导致解调性能变差。因此新空口(new radio,NR)协议中针对循环前缀正交频分复用(cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,CP-OFDM)波形和离散傅里叶变换扩展的正交频分复用(discrete fourier transformation spread OFDM,DFT-s-OFDM)波形均引入了相位跟踪参考信号(phase tracking reference signal,PTRS),用于补偿相噪,改善相噪条件下的解调性能。如何在引入PTRS的同时提高频谱效率是本申请研究的问题。
发明内容
本申请提供一种确定PTRS图案的方法和装置。通过配置满足条件的调度带宽门限或者确定满足条件的PTRS图案,从而保证网络设备和终端设备的解调性能,进一步提升频谱效率。
第一方面,提供了一种确定相位跟踪参考信号PTRS图案的方法。该方法可以由终端设备执行,或者,也可以由配置于终端设备中的芯片或电路执行,本申请对此不作限定。该方法包括:终端设备接收来自网络设备的第一调度带宽门限信息,该第一调度带宽门限信息指示的第一调度带宽门限满足第一条件,该第一条件包括以下至少一项:基于该第一调度带宽门限确定的PTRS图案中不同PTRS的调制符号对应的映射位置不同;基于该第一调度带宽门限确定的PTRS图案中不同PTRS组的PTRS的调制符号对应的映射位置不连续;基于该第一调度带宽门限确定的PTRS图案中的总调制符号数与调度带宽内的子载波数的比值小于等于第一阈值;其中,该PTRS的总调制符号数为PTRS组数与PTRS组内的调制符号数的乘积,该调度带宽为确定的PTRS图案对应的最小调度带宽;终端设备根据该调度带宽门限确定正交频分复用OFDM信号中一个OFDM符号上的PTRS图案, 该PTRS图案包括至少一个PTRS组,每个PTRS组包括至少一个调制符号。
基于上述方案,终端设备根据第一调度带宽门限所定义的调度带宽区间中每个调度带宽区间对应的PTRS图案在属于该调度带宽区间的最小的调度带宽上满足第一条件,从而使得终端设备在确定PTRS图案时不会出现行为模糊的情况,并且可以保证解调性能,提高频谱效率。
可选地,在该终端设备确定一个OFDM符号上的PTRS图案之前,接收来自该网络设备的调度带宽信息,该调度带宽信息指示调度带宽;终端设备根据该调度带宽门限和该调度带宽确定OFDM信号中一个OFDM符号上的PTRS图案。

其中,可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备,是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称,如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上,或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备,更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能,例如:智能手表或智能眼镜等,以及只专注于某一类应用功能,需要和其它设备如智能手机配合使用,如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能首饰等。
此外,终端设备还可以是物联网(internet of things,IoT)系统中的终端设备。IoT是未来信息技术发展的重要组成部分,其主要技术特点是将物品通过通信技术与网络连接,从而实现人机互连,物物互连的智能化网络。本申请对于终端设备的具体形式不作限定。
应理解,本申请实施例中,终端设备可以是用于实现终端设备功能的装置,也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中。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。
本申请实施例中的网络设备可以是任意一种具有无线收发功能的设备。该设备包括但不限于: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 NodeB,或Home Node B,HNB)、基带单元(Base Band Unit,BBU),无线保真(Wireless Fidelity,WIFI)系统中的接入点(Access Point,AP)、无线中继节点、无线回传节点、传输点(transmission point,TP)或者发送接收点(transmission and reception point,TRP)等,还可以为5G,如,NR,系统中的gNB,或,传输点(TRP或TP),5G系统中的基站的一个或一组(包 括多个天线面板)天线面板,或者,还可以为构成gNB或传输点的网络节点,如基带单元(BBU),或,分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)等。基站设备还可以是云无线接入网络(Cloud Radio Access Network,CRAN)场景下的无线控制器,还可以是可穿戴设备或车载设备。

应理解,本申请实施例中,网络设备可以是用于实现网络设备功能的装置,也可以是能够支持网络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网络设备中。

图2是本申请实施例提供的通信系统功能模块示意图。
在新空口(new radio,NR)的协议中,除了有循环前缀正交频分复用(cyclic prefix-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,CP-OFDM)波形以外,上行还支持离散傅里叶变 换扩展的正交频分复用波形(discrete fourier transformation-spread-OFDM,DFT-s-OFDM)(继承于LTE),该波形相比CP-OFDM具有峰均功率比(peak-to-average power ratio,PAPR)低的特点,其调制好的数据排列完成后,映射在资源单元前需先做DFT变化,即:
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000021
其中:N为调度带宽内的子载波个数,x(i)为调制符号,调制方法包括正交幅度调制(quadrature amplitude modulation,QAM)调制、正交相移键控(quadrature phase shift keying,QPSK)调制,π/2相移的二相移项键控(π/2shifted binary phase shift keying,π/2-BPSK)调制,幅度相移键控(amplitude phase shift keying,APSK)调制,非均匀QAM调制等;y(k)为待映射在子载波上的信号。
当波形为DFT-s-OFDM时,本申请实施例提供的通信系统功能模块如图2所示,发射端的操作包括源比特生成、编码、QAM调制、PTRS生成、映射/排序(指DFT前数据QAM符号和PTRS的QAM符号的映射)、DFT、RE映射(DFT-s-OFDM符号映射至指定的频域资源上);接收端的操作包括信道均衡(包含信道估计)、RE解映射、逆离散傅里叶变换(inverse discrete fourier transformation,IDFT)、PTRS获取与相噪估计/补偿、QAM解调、译码等。
图2中的IFFT指逆快速傅立叶变换(inverse fast fourier transformation),图2中的CP仅作为其中一种示例,还可以包括频域频谱成型,串并转换、并串转换、DAC(digital-to-analog-converter数字模拟转换器)、PA(power amplifier,功率放大器)、LNA(low noise amplifier,低噪放)、ADC(analog-to-digital converter,模拟数字转换器)中的至少一种。
在接收端,当在频域完成信号均衡之后,会对同一个OFDM符号上调度带宽上的子载波上的信号做IDFT操作,以恢复发射信号。
当波形为CP-OFDM时,即没有图2中发射端的DFT操作和接收端的IDFT操作。
图3是不同相噪模型下不同频点相位噪声功率谱密度示意图。
图3中的横坐标为频率偏移值,纵坐标为相噪功率谱密度,其中,左图为相噪模型1的相位噪声功率谱密度示意图,右图为相噪模型2的相位噪声功率谱密度示意图。
图4是不同水平的相位噪声对频域接收信号的影响示意图。
图4中,左图为无相噪对频域接收信号的影响示意图,中图为弱相噪对频域接收信号的影响示意图,右图为高相噪对频域接收信号的影响示意图。
由图3和图4可知,频段升高,会导致相噪的恶化,从而解调性能变差。现有NR协议中针对CP-OFDM波形和DFT-s-OFDM波形均引入了PTRS,以补偿相噪带来的影响,从而改善有相噪时解调性能。
图5为本申请实施例提供的一种PTRS图案示意图。
以DFT-s-OFDM波形举例来说,如图5所示,PTRS图案的符号级时域密度为L,即每L个符号有一个符号映射PTRS;例如,映射有PTRS的符号内,PTRS组数为4,即映射PTRS的符号中包括4个PTRS组;PTRS组内采样点数量为4,即每个PTRS组中包括4个PTRS采样点。图5示意的PTRS的组数和PTRS组内的采样点数为图6中示出的4×4情况下的PTRS图案。
本申请实施例中,PTRS组:由1个或以上连续的PTRS信号组成,PTRS采样点(sample) 可以是指一个PTRS信号。
图6为本申请实施例提供的一种PTRS图案的映射位置示意图。
网络设备确定PTRS在一个DFT-s-OFDM符号内的具体位置的具体的步骤包括:
(1)将一个DFT-s-OFDM所包含的所有正交幅度调制(quadrature amplitude modulation,QAM)符号的数量(即子载波数量,表中所示的
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000022
)等分为N(PTRS组数)个间隙;
(2)图6示出了对于不同采样点数目,PTRS组的具体映射位置。例如,若PTRS图案为N×M=4×2,此时PTRS组内的采样点数M为2,每个间隙的中间映射一个PTRS组;若PTRS图案为N×M=4×4,此时PTRS组内的采样点数M为4,则第一个PTRS组映射在第一个间隙的头部,最后一个PTRS组的映射在最后一个间隙的尾部,其他PTRS组映射在间隙的中间。
DFT-s-OFDM的PTRS图案由调度带宽确定,如下表1所示,其中N RBi(i=0,1,2,3,4)为门限值,可由网络设备通过高层信令配置给终端设备,在后续数据的传输过程中,基站和终端设备均根据当前的网络设备配置给终端设备的调度带宽和表1确定当前数据传输中具体的PTRS图案参数。例如,网络设备配置的调度带宽N RB满足条件N RB2≤N RB<N RB3时,则网络设备和终端设备均可根据表1确定PTRS图案中的PTRS组数为4,PTRS组内PTRS采样点数为2。
表1 PTRS图案与调度带宽的关系
调度带宽 PTRS组的数量N 每个PTRS组内采样点的数量M
N RB0≤N RB<N RB1 2 2
N RB1≤N RB<N RB2 2 4
N RB2≤N RB<N RB3 4 2
N RB3≤N RB<N RB4 4 4
N RB4≤N RB 8 4
当PTRS组数,PTRS组内PTRS采样点数这两个参数确定后,网络设备和终端设备均根据协议(TS38.211)预定义的规则确定PTRS在一个DFT-s-OFDM符号内的具体位置,如下表2所示:
表2 PTRS符号映射表
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000023
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000024
协议TS38.331中,网络设备给终端设备发送的高层信令配置的门限取值范围为1~276。在实际情况中可能会出现一个DFT-s-OFDM符号内的PTRS的总采样点数(即N与M的乘积)或PTRS的总QAM符号数与调度带宽中包含的子载波数(此处仅表示一个DFT-s-OFDM符号)的比值较大甚至超过1的问题,此时存在部分位置上的对应的PTRS不唯一的现象,比如一个位置对应多个PTRS信号。
图7是不同调度带宽下映射不同PTRS图案的示意图。
图7中以DFT-s-OFDM波形,调度带宽为1~3个资源块(resource block,RB)举例,如图7所示,当一个RB内的PTRS图案为(N,M)=(4,4)或(N,M)=(8,4)或2个RB内的PTRS图案为(N,M)=(8,4)时,PTRS组间将出现重叠,或同一个位置/资源上存在多个PTRS采样点,即同一个位置/资源上对应的PTRS采样点不唯一,此时终端设备和基站无法进行下一步操作。另外此时调度带宽内没有剩余用于映射数据的位置或资源。
当3个RB内的PTRS图案为(N,M)=(8,4)时,将出现连续的PTRS组,即存在至少两个PTRS组间没有用于映射数据的位置或资源,并且此时调度带宽内用于映射数据的资源远小于PTRS的总采样点数,1个RB内的PTRS图案为(N,M)=(4,2)时,也存在调度带宽内用于映射数据的资源远小于PTRS的总采样点数的问题,即PTRS开销较大。
协议TS38.214中计算TBS前需先计算调度带宽上时频总资源内承载数据的有效RE数,然后根据层数、调制阶数、码率、等确定具体的TBS,其中调度带宽上第一RE数计算公式为:
N RE=min(156,N′ RE)·n PRB    (2)
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000025
其中,N′ RE为一个RB内第一RE数量,n PRB为调度给终端设备的RB数量,
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000026
为一个RB内包括的子载波数量,可取值为12,
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000027
是时域上用于承载数据的DFT-s-OFDM符号数,
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000028
为解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS)在一个RB内占用的RE数,
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000029
为高层信令配置的综合开销,可配置为6,12,18,若没有,则配置为0。
应理解,一个RB内时频域的总资源可以是12*14=168,其中12为一个RB内的子载波的数量,14为一个时隙内的时域符号数量。当然不同系统下一个时隙内的时域符号数量会有所不同,本申请对一个时隙内的时域符号的具体数量不做具体限定。
综合开销是考虑所有非数据的信道或参考信号等的综合开销,与实际开销有区别。即 在计算TBS时不单独考虑PTRS的开销,当PTRS的开销明显高于配置的开销时,按配置开销计算的TBS对应的数据映射到实际有效的资源上时,会导致实际码率明显高于配置的调制编码方案(modulation and coding scheme,MCS)指示的码率,甚至实际码率可能会超过1,使得性能下降,频谱效率降低。
图8为本申请实施例提供的一种确定PTRS图案的流程交互图。图8所示的方法200包括:
步骤S220,网络设备发送第一调度带宽门限信息给终端设备。对应地,终端设备接收来自网络设备的第一调度带宽门限信息,该第一调度带宽门限信息指示的第一调度带宽门限满足第一条件,该第一条件包括以下至少一项:基于该第一调度带宽门限确定的PTRS图案中不同PTRS的调制符号对应的映射位置不同;基于该第一调度带宽门限确定的PTRS图案中不同PTRS组的PTRS的调制符号对应的映射位置不连续;基于该第一调度带宽门限确定的PTRS图案中的总调制符号数与调度带宽内的子载波数的比值小于等于第一阈值;其中,该PTRS的总调制符号数为PTRS组数与PTRS组内的调制符号数的乘积,该调度带宽为确定的PTRS图案对应的最小调度带宽。
应理解,基于该第一调度带宽门限确定的PTRS图案中的总调制符号数与调度带宽内的子载波数的比值小于等于第一阈值是一个OFDM符号上的PTRS图案需要满足的条件,从整个调度资源的角度,上一条件还可以理解为基于第一调度带宽门限确定的PTRS图案中的总调制符号数和映射PTRS的符号数的乘积与调度的时频资源内的总RE数的比值小于等于第三阈值;
可选地,第一调度带宽门限信息可指示第一调度带宽门限,或第一调度带宽门限信息包括该第一调度带宽门限。第一调度带宽门限信息可承载于高层信令中,例如无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令。
以DFT-s-OFDM波形举例:
1)若要满足PTRS图案中不同PTRS组的PTRS调制符号对应的映射位置不同:需要求第一调度带宽门限满足第一条件,例如第一调度带宽门限定义的各调度带宽区间内最小调度带宽包含的RE数≥该调度带宽区间对应的PTRS图案包括的总采样点数。即:

其中,N RBi为表1中第i+1行的左不等式的调度带宽门限,N i为该i+1行对应的PTRS组数,M i为该行对应的PTRS组内的PTRS采样点数,i=0,1,2,3,4,
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000031
为一个RB内包括的子载波数,可取值为12。
以表1中定义的N i和M i的取值为例,则有:
N RB0≥1;N RB1≥1;N RB2≥1;N RB3≥2;N RB4≥3
可选地,可以不单独定义各第一调度带宽门限的最小取值,直接定义一个统一的第一调度带宽门限值,使得最多的PTRS采样点数对应的PTRS图案也不会重叠。例如,所有的第一调度带宽门限值都大于等于3。
2)若要满足PTRS图案中不同PTRS组的PTRS调制符号对应的映射位置不连续:需要求第一调度带宽门限满足第一条件,如第一调度带宽门限定义的各调度带宽区间内最小调度带宽包含的RE数≥该调度带宽区间对应的PTRS图案包括的总采样点数+PTRS组数-1。即:
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000032
以表1中定义的N i和M i的取值为例,则有:
N RB0≥1;N RB1≥1;N RB2≥1;N RB3≥2;N RB4≥4
可选地,可以不单独定义各第一调度带宽门限的最小取值,直接定义一个统一的第一调度带宽门限值,使得最多的PTRS采样点数对应的PTRS图案也不会重叠或连续。例如,所有的第一调度带宽门限值都大于等于4。
3)若要满足PTRS图案中的总调制符号数与该调度带宽内的子载波数的比值小于等于第一阈值或者PTRS图案中的总调制符号数和映射PTRS的符号数的乘积与调度的时频资源内的总RE数的比值小于或等于第三阈值:需要求第一调度带宽门限满足第一条件,如PTRS图案包括的总采样点数/最小带宽包含的RE数≤X,其中X为第一阈值,即:
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000033
以表1中定义的Ni和Mi的取值为例:
当X取值为1/12时则有:
N RB0≥4;N RB1≥8;N RB2≥8;N RB3≥16;N RB4≥32
当X取值为1/24时则有:
N RB0≥8;N RB1≥16;N RB2≥16;N RB3≥32;N RB4≥64
当X取值为10/100时则有:
N RB0≥4;N RB1≥7;N RB2≥7;N RB3≥14;N RB4≥27
当X取值为6/100时则有:
N RB0≥6;N RB1≥12;N RB2≥12;N RB3≥23;N RB4≥45
根据上述三类情况,可以确定出各第一调度带宽门限的最小取值。
可选地,第一调度带宽门限的最小取值可以在终端设备能力上报中,也可以在网络设备配置给终端设备的高层信令中。即,终端设备上报的第二调度带宽门限取值范围和/或网络设备配置给终端设备的第一调度带宽门限取值范围满足第一条件。
应理解,第一调度带宽门限包括多个调度带宽门限,例如N RB0,N RB1,N RB2,N RB3,N RB4
若第一调度带宽门限的最小取值不同,则每个调度带宽门限的取值范围需独立定义,以RRC信令格式示意如下:其中n i-min为所述方法确定的各调度带宽门限N RBi的最小值。
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000034
若第一调度带宽门限的最小取值相同,则可沿用现有协议的格式,改最小值即可,以RRC信令格式示意如下:其中n min为该最小取值。
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000035
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000036
可选地,不限制终端设备能力上报时各调度带宽门限的最小取值以及取值范围。网络设备将max(N RBi-min,N RBi-report)的结果作为终端设备上报的调度带宽门限值,其中N RBi-min为满足上述三类情况中的至少一种情况中所确定的第一调度带宽门限N RBi的最小值,N RBi-report为终端设备作为能力上报的调度带宽门限N RBi的值。
可选地,不限制网络设备配置的各调度带宽门限的最小取值以及取值范围。网络设备和终端设备均将max(N RBi-min,N RBi-config)的结果作为网络设备配置的调度带宽门限值,N RBi-config为网络设备在RRC信令配置的调度带宽门限的取值,N RBi-min同上所述。
可选地,方法200还包括步骤S210,终端设备根据自身能力确定第二调度带宽门限,并向网络设备发送第二调度带宽门限信息,该第二调度带宽门限信息指示第二调度带宽门限。
可选地,第二调度带宽门限中的各调度带宽门限满足上述第一调度带宽门限中的各调度带宽门限的取值范围。
应理解,该方案中终端设备可根据自身能力主动上报第二调度带宽门限,使得网络设备在配置第一调度带宽门限时可以参考第二调度带宽门限,例如终端设备在芯片质量比较差,或者相噪水平比较恶劣时上报一组较小的调度带宽门限值,可以使得调度带宽N RB对应的PTRS总调制符号数较多,大于或等于芯片质量较高,或者相噪水平较优的终端设备上报的调度带宽门限值在同一个调度带宽下对应的PTRS总调制符号数。从而使得网络设备配置的调度带宽门限更匹配当前终端设备的性能。
可选地,方法200还包括步骤S230,网络设备向终端设备发送调度带宽信息,该调度带宽信息用于指示网络设备分配给终端设备的带宽。对应的,终端设备可根据该调度带宽信息确定调度带宽。
可选地,该调度带宽信息可承载于下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)中。
步骤S240,终端设备根据网络设备配置的调度带宽门限确定PTRS图案。
可选地,终端设备根据该调度带宽门限和调度带宽确定OFDM信号中一个OFDM符号上的PTRS图案。
一种可实现方式中,终端设备根据网络设备在高层信令中配置的第一调度带宽门限在表1中确定该调度带宽对应的PTRS图案,第一调度带宽门限满足第一条件。
另一种可实现方式中,终端设备将max(N RBi-min,N RBi-config)的结果作为表1中的调度带宽门限,并根据表1确定该调度带宽对应的PTRS图案。其中N RBi-min为满足第一条件的第一调度带宽门限N RBi的最小值,N RBi-config为网络设备在RRC信令配置的调度带宽门限的取值。
应理解,此方案中网络设备在RRC信令配置的调度带宽门限可以满足第一条件,也可以不满足第一条件,该调度带宽门限区别于上文提及的第一调度带宽门限。
再一种可实现方式中,终端设备根据第三调度带宽门限和调度带宽确定OFDM信号 中一个OFDM符号上的第一PTRS图案,该第一PTRS图案满足第二条件,该第二条件包括以下至少一项:该第一PTRS图案中不同PTRS的调制符号对应的映射位置不同;该第一PTRS图案中不同PTRS组的PTRS的调制符号对应的映射位置不连续;该第一PTRS图案中的总调制符号数与该调度带宽内的子载波数的比值小于等于第一阈值,该第一PTRS图案包括至少一个PTRS组,每个PTRS组包括至少一个调制符号;其中,该PTRS的总调制符号数为PTRS组数与PTRS组内的调制符号数的乘积,该调度带宽为该网络设备分配给该终端设备的带宽。
可选地,在终端设备确定第一PTRS图案前,该终端设备根据该第三调度带宽门限和调度带宽确定第二PTRS图案,若第二PTRS图案不满足所述第二条件;根据该第二PTRS图案确定OFDM信号中的一个OFDM符号上的第一PTRS图案,该第一PTRS图案为减少所述第二PTRS图案中的PTRS组数,和/或减少所述第二PTRS图案中的PTRS组内的调制符号数所得,可选地,第一PTRS图案可以是PTRS图案集合中的一种。
可选地,当终端设备确定第二PTRS图案不满足所述第二条件时,通过依次递减选择PTRS图案集合中的图案,直至获得满足第二条件的第一PTRS图案,或根据调度带宽确定满足第二条件的PTRS的总调制符号,然后选择小于等于该总调制符号的最大PTRS调制符号数对应的第一PTRS图案。
可选地,第三调度带宽门限可根据现有协议确定,例如第三调度带宽门限的取值范围为1~276。
应理解,PTRS图案集合为终端设备根据现有协议的调度带宽门限,也就是第三调度带宽门限确定的调度带宽区间中每个调度带宽区间对应的PTRS图案构成的集合。例如PTRS图案集合包括表1示出的五种PTRS图案,PTRS图案集合为{(2,2);(2,4);(4,2);(4,4);(8,4)},上述仅为示例,本申请对PTRS图案集合不做具体限定。
以DFT-s-OFDM波形举例:
当终端设备根据第三调度带宽门限和调度带宽以及表1确定的第二PTRS图案不满足第二条件。
例如,若按表1确定的PTRS图案配置为(N,M)=(8,4)时,出现以下中的至少一项:第二PTRS图案中不同PTRS的调制符号对应的时频资源相同;该第二PTRS图案中不同PTRS组的PTRS的调制符号对应的时频资源连续;该第二PTRS图案中的总调制符号数与该调度带宽内的子载波数的比值大于第一阈值。
可根据第二PTRS图案确定第一PTRS图案,例如,依次选择新的PTRS图案,如(N,M)=(4,4),(4,2),或(2,2),甚至不发送PTRS,直至新的PTRS图案满足第二条件,此时第一个满足条件的新PTRS图案为第一PTRS图案。若按表1确定的第二PTRS图案配置为(N,M)=(4,4)时,可确定第一PTRS图案为(N,M)=(4,2)或(2,2),甚至不发送PTRS,直至第一PTRS图案满足第二条件。其他可以此类推。
再例如,以调度带宽(N RB)为24个RB,N RB4=20,该第一阈值为1/12举例,若按表1可知,第二PTRS图案应该为(N,M)=(8,4),则PTRS总采样点数与调度带宽内的子载波数的比值为32/(24×12),大于1/12,因此需将第二PTRS图案调整为(N,M)=(4,4),此时PTRS总采样点数与调度带宽内的子载波数的比值为16/(24×12),小于1/12,即满足PTRS采样点数与调度带宽内的子载波数的比值不超过阈值这一条件。或者根据第一阈值和调度带宽确定满足条件的PTRS总采样点数为24,然后从表格中选出总采样点数小于等于24的第 一个PTRS图案,即(N,M)=(4,4)作为第一PTRS图案。
步骤S250,终端设备向网络设备发送数据发送OFDM信号,该OFDM信号包括PTRS。
步骤S260,网络设备根据配置的调度带宽门限确定PTRS图案。并根据接收到的PTRS估计相躁并补偿,完成数据解调。
可选地,网络设备根据配置的调度带宽门限和调度带宽确定PTRS图案。
应理解,网络设备根据调度带宽门限和调度带宽确定PTRS图案的过程与终端设备确定PTRS图案的过程相对应,详细过程可参考步骤S240中对终端设备根据调度带宽门限和调度带宽确定PTRS图案的过程的描述,在此不做赘述。
还应理解,除参数调度带宽门限和调度带宽之外,终端设备和网络设备还可根据其他参数确定PTRS图案,例如调制编码策略(modulation and coding scheme,MCS)门限、MCS等,本申请在此不做具体限定。图9为本申请实施例提供的一种确定第一资源单元的示意图。图9所示的方法300可用于终端设备或网络设备,该方法300包括:
步骤S310,确定PTRS的第一开销,该PTRS的第一开销基于PTRS的总调制符号数,调度给终端设备的资源块数量和PTRS的时域密度确定,其中,该PTRS的总调制符号数为PTRS组数与PTRS组内的调制符号数的乘积。
以DFT-s-OFDM波形举例:
可选地,PTRS的第一开销
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000037
为PTRS的实际开销,PTRS的第一开销满足下列公式:
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000038
其中,L为PTRS的时域密度,L=1表示每1个DFT-s-OFDM符号都映射PTRS,L=2表示每两个DFT-s-OFDM符号中有一个DFT-s-OFDM符号上映射PTRS,以此类推。
若考虑实际的时域密度,PTRS的第一开销
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000039
还可以满足以下公式:
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000040
其中,L real为调度的
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000041
个DFT-s-OFDM符号上映射有PTRS的符号数,
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000042
为时域上用于承载数据的DFT-s-OFDM符号数,n PRB为调度的RB数量。
步骤S320,当该PTRS的第一开销大于或等于第二阈值时,根据该PTRS的第一开销确定PTRS的第二开销。
应理解,该第二阈值可以是预定义或预配置的,还可以根据调制编码方案(modulation and coding scheme,MCS)调整。当PTRS的第一开销小于第二阈值,计算映射数据的有效资源单元的数量不考虑PTRS的开销,PTRS的开销不会使得实际码率对应的等效MCS索引与配置的MCS索引之差大于或等于Z,Z的取值可以为1或者2。也就是说,可根据Z反向确定第二阈值。
可选地,该PTRS的第二开销为PTRS的第一开销或PTRS的量化开销,所述PTRS的量化开销基于所述PTRS的第一开销和量化间隔确定。
步骤S330,终端设备或网络设备根据解调参考信号DMRS的开销,高层信令配置的综合开销,以及该PTRS的第二开销共同确定映射数据的第一资源单元的数量。
应理解,第一RE为可以映射数据的有效资源单元,并且终端设备或网络设备至少根据解调参考信号DMRS的开销,高层信令配置的综合开销和该PTRS的第二开销这三个参数确定第一RE数量,可选地,除上述三个参数外,终端设备或网络设备还可以根据其他 参数来确定第一RE的数量,其他参数可以是预留资源配置,不可用资源配置等。本方案对终端设备或网络设备确定第一RE数量的具体参数的数量不做限定。
可选地,上行数据传输过程中,在终端设备向网络设备发送OFDM信号前,若终端设备判断PTRS采样点数与调度带宽内的子载波数的比值超过阈值时,终端设备需重新确定用于计算TBS的第一RE的数量(下行数据传输以此类推)。
应理解,若在确定第一RE数时未单独考虑PTRS的开销,且PTRS的开销明显大于网络设备配置的开销
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000043
时,导致实际传输码率大于网络设备配置的MCS所指示的码率。因此本实施例则根据PTRS的开销,动态调整计算用于确定TBS的第一RE数量的确定方法,如定义门限Y,当PTRS的开销大于或等于Y时,在确定第一RE数时减去PTRS的开销,该开销可以是PTRS的实际开销,也可以是量化的开销,即第一RE数量N′ RE
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000044
其中,
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000045
为一个资源块RB包括的子载波数量,
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000046
为DMRS的开销,
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000047
为高层信令配置的综合开销,
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000048
为该PTRS的第二开销。
可选地,
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000049
可以为PTRS的实际开销,也就是PTRS的第一开销,PTRS的第一开销可根据公式(7)或公式(8)计算。
可选地,
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000050
也可以为PTRS的量化开销,此时
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000051
的计算如公式(10):
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000052
其中,G为量化间隔,即计算RE数量是减去的PTRS的第二开销为G的整数倍,如G的取值可以为3,或6。
同理,若考虑实际的时域密度,上式(10)还可以为:
Figure PCTCN2022086485-appb-000053
基于上述方案,当终端设备确定的PTRS的第一开销大于或等于第二阈值时,在计算TBS时考虑PTRS的开销,可以避免将过多的数据映射在有限的资源单元上时引起的实际码率偏高,频谱效率低的问题。
应理解,上述公式中的[·]为取整函数,该取整函数可以是向上取整或向下取整或四舍五入取整,本申请对此不作任何限制。还应理解,当PTRS图案不仅与调度带宽关联时,如PTRS图案还与MCS有关,或者PTRS图案还与其他参数有关,上述规则可以以此类推,用于保证所确定的PTRS图案与终端的调度带宽满足第一条件。

还应理解,当上文所述方法应用于下行时,信令的传输过程与上文相同,即终端设备以能力上报调度带宽门限,基站配置调度带宽门限,且基站配置调度带宽等信息。不同的地方为基站根据前文所述规则确定PTRS图案后,按照PTRS图案将PTRS映射至OFDM符号,然后发送OFDM符号至终端设备;终端设备根据配置信息和前文所述规则确定PTRS图案,并按照PTRS图案从OFDM符号中解映射PTRS,然后完成相噪估计与补偿等。

在另一种设计中,收发单元510用于接收或发送正交频分复用OFDM信号,该OFDM信号包括PTRS;该处理单元520用于根据第三调度带宽门限确定该OFDM信号中的一个OFDM符号上的第一PTRS图案,该第一PTRS图案满足第二条件,该第二条件包括以下至少一项:该第一PTRS图案中不同PTRS的调制符号对应的映射位置不同;该第一PTRS图案中不同PTRS组的PTRS的调制符号对应的映射位置不连续;该第一PTRS图案中的总调制符号数与调度带宽内的子载波数的比值小于等于第一阈值;其中,该PTRS的总调制符号数为PTRS组数与PTRS组内的调制符号数的乘积,该调度带宽为该网络设备分配给该终端设备的带宽。
可选地,网络设备根据该调度带宽门限和该调度带宽确定正交频分复用OFDM信号中一个OFDM符号上的第一PTRS图案。应理解,除参数调度带宽门限和调度带宽之外,网络设备还可以根据其他参数确定PTRS图案,例如MCS门限、MCS等,本申请在此不做具体限定。
第三调度带宽门限可根据现有协议确定,网络设备在确定PTRS图案时需保证OFDM信号中一个OFDM符号上的PTRS图案满足第二条件,从而使得网络设备在确定PTRS图案时不会出现行为模糊的情况,并且可以保证解调性能,提高频谱效率。
可选地,该处理单元520还用于根据该第三调度带宽门限和该调度带宽确定第二PTRS图案,当该第二PTRS图案不满足该第二条件;该处理单元520还用于根据该第二PTRS图案确定该OFDM信号中的一个OFDM符号上的该第一PTRS图案,该第一PTRS图案为减少该第二PTRS图案中的PTRS组数,和/或减少该第二PTRS图案中的PTRS组内的调制符号数所得,第一PTRS图案可以是PTRS图案集合中的一种。
可选地,当该处理单元520确定第二PTRS图案不满足所述第二条件时,通过依次递减选择PTRS图案集合中的图案,直至获得满足第二条件的第一PTRS图案,或该处理单元根据调度带宽确定满足第二条件的PTRS的总调制符号,然后选择小于等于该总调制符号的最大PTRS调制符号数对应的第一PTRS图案。
在再一种设计中,处理单元520用于确定PTRS的第一开销,该PTRS的第一开销基于PTRS的总调制符号数,调度给终端设备的资源块数量和PTRS的符号级时域密度确定,其中,该PTRS的总调制符号数为PTRS组数与PTRS组内的调制符号数的乘积;当该PTRS的第一开销大于第二阈值时,该处理单元根据该PTRS的第一开销确定PTRS的第二开销;该处理单元还用于根据解调参考信号DMRS的开销,高层信令配置的综合开销,以及该PTRS的第二开销共同确定映射正交频分复用OFDM信号的第一资源单元的数量。
