具体实施方式
为了方便理解本申请实施例的技术方案,首先给出本申请相关技术或名词的简要介绍如下。
第一,车联网(vehicle to everything,V2X)
在V2X通信中,终端设备与其他终端设备之间进行直连通信的通信链路可以被称为侧行链路或者边链路(sidelink,SL)。从终端设备到网络设备的无线通信链路可以被称为上行链路(uplink,UL);从网络设备到终端设备的无线通信链路可以被称为下行链路(downlink,DL)。由于UL或DL接口可以称之为Uu口,所以UL或者DL可以称之为Uu口链路。
NR V2X中支持单播、组播和广播业务。
需要说明的是,本申请中的终端、终端设备、用户设备、UE之间可以相互替换。
第二,混合自动重传请求(hybrid automatic repeat request,HARQ)
1)HARQ反馈:
一种可能的HARQ反馈机制为:接收端接收数据成功,向发送端反馈肯定确认(acknowledgement,ACK);若接收端接收数据失败,向发送端反馈否定确认(negative acknowledgement,NACK)。
在NR V2X中,对于单播和组播支持SL HARQ反馈。
2)HARQ进程:
HARQ采用停等协议来控制数据的发送。具体地,发送端发送一个传输块(transport block,TB)后,就停下来等待,直到接收到该TB的反馈信息,才进行下一个TB的发送。发送端停止发送,等待反馈信息的过程,会导致吞吐量降低。
为了提高吞吐量,发送端可以使用多个并行的HARQ进程。也就是说,当发送端在等待一个HARQ进程的反馈信息时,可以使用另一个HARQ进程来继续发送数据。示例性地,如图1所示,发送端使用第1个HARQ进程来发送TB1,在T1时刻,TB1的发送完成。发送端等待TB1的反馈信息,直到在T2时刻,发送端接收到TB1的反馈信息。在等待的时间段T1至T2之间,发送端可以采用第2个HARQ进程发送TB2。类似地,发送端在T2时刻完成TB2的发送之后,等待TB2的反馈信息,直到在T3时刻,发送端接收到TB2的反馈信息。在等待的时间段T2至T3之间,发送端可以采用第3个HARQ进程发送TB3。
需要说明的是,Uu口上的HARQ进程可以称为HARQ进程。在UU口,一个HARQ进程可以通过一个HARQ进程标识(process identity,process ID)来标识,或者说,一个HARQ进程可以与一个HARQ process ID相关联。
需要说明的是,在NR V2X中,SL上的HARQ进程可以称为SL进程。
第三,SL进程
在SL上,发送端用户设备(user equipment,UE)可以向一个或多个接收端UE发送侧行链路控制信息(sidelink control information,SCI)和SL数据。其中,SCI用于调度SL数据。
在NR V2X中,SCI可以包括第一级SCI和第二级SCI。
由于SL数据通过物理侧行链路共享信道(physical sidelink shared channel,PSSCH)传输,因此,SL数据也可以被称为PSSCH,在此统一说明,以下不再赘述。下面分别对第一级SCI和第二级SCI进行阐述。
第一级SCI可以用于调度第二级SCI和SL数据/PSSCH。第一级SCI可以通过物理侧行链路控制信道(physical sidelink control channel,PSCCH)传输。
第二级SCI可以用于解码SL数据/PSSCH。
SCI或第二级SCI可以包括SL process ID、第一目的ID(destination ID)、第一源ID(source ID)和通信类型(cast type)。
在NR V2X中,一组ID集合可以标识一个SL进程,或者,一个SL进程可以和一组ID集合相关联。
ID集合可以包括SL process ID、第一目的ID、第一源ID和通信类型,或,ID集合可以包括SL process ID、第一目的ID和第一源ID,或,ID集合可以包括SL process ID、第二目的ID、第二源ID和通信类型,或,ID集合可以包括SL process ID、第二目的ID和第二源ID。
下面分别对SL process ID、第一目的ID、第二目的ID、第一源ID、第二源ID和通信类型进行阐述。
1)SL process ID
SL process ID可以用于标识SL进程。
2)第一目的ID和第二目的ID
第一目的ID可用于标识SCI调度的SL数据的目的(target)。可选的,第一目的ID可以用于接收端UE的物理层进行数据包的过滤。示例性地,第一目的ID可以为目的层1 ID(destination layer-1 ID)。例如,层1可以表示开放式系统互联通信参考模型(open system interconnection reference model,OSI模型)中的第一层——物理层。
示例性地,第一目的ID可以为第二目的ID的部分比特位。例如,若第二目的ID为24比特,那么,第一目的ID可以为第二目的ID的低16位。
第二目的ID可以用于标识数据的目的(例如,target)/接收端/接收终端。示例性的,第二目的ID可以用于标识一个组播或广播业务。示例性的,第二目的ID可以为目的/接收端/接收终端的标识。示例性的,第二目的ID可以为目的层2 ID(Destination Layer-2 ID)。可选的,第二目的ID可以用于接收终端的媒体接入控制(media access contoll,MAC)层进行数据包过滤。例如,层2表示OSI模块中的第二层——数据链路层,数据链路层包含MAC层。
3)第一源ID和第二源ID
第一源ID可用于标识SCI调度的SL数据的源(source)。可选的,第一源ID可以用于接收终端的PHY层进行数据包过滤。示例性地,第一源ID可以为源层1 ID(source layer-1 ID)。
示例性地,第一源ID可以为第二源ID的部分比特位。例如,若第二源ID为24比特,那么,第一源ID可以为第二源ID的低8位。第二源ID可用于标识数据的源或发送端。示例性地,第二源ID可以为源层2 ID(source layer-2 ID)。
4)通信类型
通信类型可以包括单播、组播、广播中的任一个或多个。SCI中的通信类型用于指示当前的通信为单播、组播或广播;或者,SCI中的通信类型用于指示该SCI调度的SL数据为单播数据、组播数据或广播数据。
例如,第二源ID和第二目的ID对可以标识一个单播。
示例性的,对于单播,接收端UE的MAC层进行数据包的过滤时,可以使用第二目的ID和第二源ID。
示例性的,对于单播,接收端UE的物理层进行数据包的过滤时,可以使用第一目的ID和第一源ID。
第四,物理侧行链路反馈信道(physical sidelink feedback channel,PSFCH)的接收与其他传输/接收冲突
示例性地,下面介绍三种PSFCH的接收与其他传输/接收冲突的情况。
例如,冲突可以包括:在时域上冲突,或,在一个时隙(slot)内冲突。
例如,冲突可以理解/替换为overlap或重叠。
其中,PSFCH的接收与SCI1和/或SL数据1相关联。可以理解的是,发送端UE向接收端UE发送SCI1和/或SL数据1后,发送端UE可能在PSFCH资源1上接收接收端UE的SL HARQ反馈(可以理解为PSFCH的接收)。
1)PSFCH的接收与PSFCH的发送冲突
PSFCH的接收(针对SL数据1的传输)与PSFCH的发送(与其他的数据传输相关联)冲突,如果PSFCH的接收的优先级低于或等于PSFCH的发送的优先级(或者说,PSFCH的接收没有被优先),那么,SL数据1的发送端UE执行PSFCH的发送,而不执行PSFCH的接收,从而SL数据1的发送端UE未接收到PSFCH。
需要说明的是,SL数据1的发送端UE也可以作为SL数据2的接收端UE,从而向SL数据2的发送端UE发送PSFCH。
需要说明的是,PSFCH的接收或发送的优先级,是由PSFCH关联的SL数据的优先级决定的。其中,与SL数据对应的SCI或者第一级SCI中的优先级(priority)字段(field)携带有SL数据的优先级信息,优先级字段的值越小,表示SL数据的优先级越高。
2)PSFCH的接收与UL传输冲突
PSFCH的接收(针对SL数据1的传输)与UL传输冲突,如果PSFCH的接收的优先级低于或等于UL传输的优先级(或者说,PSFCH的接收没有被优先),那么,发送端UE执行UL传输,而不执行PSFCH的接收,从而发送端UE未接收到PSFCH。其中,“传输”可以理解为“发送和/或接收”。
例如,PSFCH的接收(针对SL数据1的传输)与UL传输冲突可以包括:PSFCH的接收(针对SL数据1的传输)与UL传输在一个时隙内冲突。需要说明的是,一种可能的实现,一个时隙内PSFCH的接收的优先级可以为该时隙内多个PSFCH对应的SL数据的优先级中最高的优先级。
3)NR SL PSFCH的接收与长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)SL传输冲突
NR SL传输中,在发送端UE,PSFCH的接收与LTE SL传输在时间上冲突,如果PSFCH的接收的优先级低于或等于LTE SL传输的优先级(或者说,PSFCH的接收没有被优先), 那么,发送端UE执行LTE SL传输,而不执行PSFCH的接收,从而发送端UE未接收到PSFCH。
需要说明的是,PSFCH的接收或发送的优先级,是由PSFCH关联的SL数据的优先级决定的。其中,与SL数据对应的SCI或者第一级SCI中的优先级(priority)字段(field)携带有SL数据的优先级信息,优先级字段的值越小,表示SL数据的优先级越高。
需要说明的是,NR系统中和LTE系统中定义了不同的优先级等级。关于上述两个系统中传输的优先级比较,可参考现有技术,在此不再赘述。
需要说明的是,上述冲突可以理解为:一个UE(发送端UE)内的冲突。
需要说明的是,发送端可以理解为:数据的发送端。
需要说明的是,上述冲突情况及其冲突情况下的优先级比较是现有技术,在此不再赘述,具体内容可以参考3GPP TS 38.213:"NR;Physical Layer Procedures for control"和3GPP TS 38.321:"NR;Medium Access Control(MAC)protocol specification"中的描述,此处不再赘述。
第五,基于HARQ的SL无线链路失败(radio link failure,RLF)检测
在NR V2X中,针对单播连接,引入了基于HARQ的SL RLF检测。发送端UE使用计数器统计连续未接收到PFSCH的次数。具体地,若发送端UE未接收到PSFCH,发送端将计数器的计数值增加1;若发送端UE接收到PSFCH,发送端UE将计数器的计数值初始化/置为0。若计数器的计数值达到阈值,发送端UE触发RLF。具体内容可以参考3GPP TS 38.321:"NR;Medium Access Control(MAC)protocol specification的5.22.1.3.3节。
单播连接建立,或阈值被配置或重配置,发送端UE将计数器的计数值初始化/置为0。
其中,该计数器可以为numConsecutiveDTX,该阈值可以为sl-maxNumConsecutiveDTX,该阈值的取值是由网络设备配置的,或者,该阈值的取值是预先配置的。
示例性地,图2示出了基于HARQ的SL RLF检测过程。其中,计数器的初始值为0,触发RLF的阈值为3。例如,PSFCH监听时机可以理解为PSFCH或PSFCH所在的位置或PSFCH所在的时域位置或PSFCH接收时机。需要说明的是,图2中仅示意性地画出11个PSFCH监听时机,实际的PSFCH监听时机在时域上可能是连续的也可能不是连续的,不同的PSFCH监听时机在时域上还可能是重叠的,本申请实施例对此不作任何限定。
其中,发送端UE“接收”PSFCH,表示发送端UE执行“接收”PSFCH的动作。发送端UE“接收”PSFCH的结果可能为发送端UE“接收到”PSFCH,或者,还可能为发送端UE“未接收到”PSFCH。
发送端UE“未接收”PSFCH,表示发送端UE未执行“接收”的动作。当发送端UE“接收”PSFCH与发送端UE的其他传输/接收冲突时,由于“接收”PSFCH的优先级低于其他传输/接收的优先级(或者说,“接收”PSFCH没有被优先),发送端UE执行其他传输/接收,而未执行“接收”PSFCH的动作。发送端UE“未接收”PSFCH的结果为发送端UE“未接收到”PSFCH。
在第1个PSFCH监听时机,由于PSFCH的接收与其他传输冲突且PSFCH的接收没有被优先,发送端UE未接收PSFCH。从而,发送端UE未接收到PSFCH。现有协议中计数器的计数值增加1,由初始值0变成1。
在第2个PSFCH监听时机,发送端UE接收PSFCH,但未接收到PSFCH。现有协议中计数器的计数值增加1,变成2。
在第3个PSFCH监听时机,发送端UE接收到PSFCH。现有协议中计数器的计数值被初始化/置为0。
在第4个PSFCH监听时机,发送端UE接收PSFCH,但未接收到PSFCH。现有协议中计数器的计数值增加1,变成1。
在第5个PSFCH监听时机,发送端UE接收PSFCH,但未接收到PSFCH。现有协议中计数器的计数值增加1,变成2。
在第6个PSFCH监听时机,由于PSFCH的接收与其他传输冲突且PSFCH的接收没有被优先,发送端UE未接收PSFCH,从而,发送端UE未接收到PSFCH。现有协议中计数器的计数值增加1,变成3。由于现有协议中计数器的计数值达到阈值,因此,发送端UE触发RLF。
在第7个PSFCH监听时机,发送端UE接收到PSFCH。现有协议中计数器的计数值被初始化/置为0。
在第8个PSFCH监听时机,由于PSFCH的接收与其他传输冲突且PSFCH的接收没有被优先,发送端UE未接收PSFCH。从而,发送端UE未接收到PSFCH。现有协议中计数器的计数值增加1,由初始值0变成1。
在第9个PSFCH监听时机,由于PSFCH的接收与其他传输冲突且PSFCH的接收没有被优先,发送端UE未接收PSFCH。从而,发送端UE未接收到PSFCH。现有协议中计数器的计数值增加1,变成2。
在第10个PSFCH监听时机,发送端UE接收到PSFCH。现有协议中计数器的计数值被初始化/置为0。
在第11个PSFCH监听时机,发送端UE接收到PSFCH。现有协议中计数器的计数值被初始化/置为0,或者说,第一计数器的计数值不变,仍然为0。
需要理解的是,图2中第7个PSFCH监听时机及之后的PSFCH监听时机可能是单播连接恢复后进行的SL传输对应的PSFCH。可以理解的是,如果触发RLF后,为恢复该单播连接,图2中第7个PSFCH监听时机及之后的PSFCH监听时机可能不存在。
根据上述分析可知,在第5个PSFCH监听时机,计数器的计数值为2。在第6个PSFCH监听时机,由于发送端UE未接收PSFCH导致发送端UE未接收到PSFCH,而并非由于无线链路存在问题导致发送端UE未接收到PSFCH。现有基于HARQ的SL RLF检测中,在第6个PSFCH监听时机,计数器的计数值会增加1,从而导致计数器的计数值达到阈值3,进而导致发送端UE误触发RLF,进而也会增加通信时延、降低通信的质量或可靠性。尤其当阈值为1时,使用现有的基于HARQ的SL RLF检测,发送端UE更容易误触发RLF。
需要说明的是,目前,在NR V2X中,基于HARQ的SL RLF检测是针对单播连接执行的,计数器也是针对每个单播连接单独维护的。这里,可以将连续未接收到PSFCH的次数理解为:针对单播连接(例如,一个单播连接),连续未接收到PSFCH的次数,或,针对单播连接(例如,一个单播连接)的所有sidelink进程,连续未接收到PSFCH的次数。
单播连接还可以被称为SL的无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接,或者,PC5-RRC连接。单播连接可以为一对第二源ID和第二目的ID之间的逻辑连接;或者,单播连接可以为在接入层(access-stratum,AS)层,一对第二源ID和第二目的ID之间的逻辑连接。单播连接可以包括/替换为/对应于以下任一项或多项:单播、单播连接、 目的地址、第二源ID和第二目的ID对(pair)。其中,目的地址(destination)可以理解为对应的第二源ID和第二目的ID对。
示例性地,本申请中的RLF可以包括/理解为SLRLF。
示例性的,本申请中的初始化可以包括/替换为:重新初始化。
示例性的,本申请中的第一用户设备可以包括/替换为:第一用户设备的HARQ实体,或,第一用户设备的SLHARQ实体,或,第一用户设备的MAC实体。

现有技术中,当发送端接收PSFCH的时间与发送端发送或接收其他信息的时间冲突时,如果发送端发送或接收其他信息的优先级高于接收PSFCH的优先级,则发送端执行其他信息的发送或接收,从而无法接收到PSFCH。显然,这并非由于无线链路存在问题导致发送端未接收到PSFCH。但是,由于该情况下发送端也未接收到PSFCH,发送端仍然会将计数 器的计数值增加1,从而可能导致计数器的计数值达到预设阈值,进而将导致发送端误触发RLF,影响通信质量,带来通信时延,影响通信质量。
可以理解的是,根据现有协议中的内容,若误触发了RLF,发送端和接收端之间可能需要一定的时间来恢复/重建连接(例如,单播连接)才能继续正常通信,可以理解的是误触发RLF将会带来了一定的通信时延,也会影响通信的质量。
下面以第一用户设备为相互通信的任意两个用户设备301中的其中一个为例,结合图1至图5对本申请实施例提供的通信方法进行具体阐述。
应理解,下文所描述的方法实施例中仅以执行主体为第一用户设备和第二用户设备为例,但并不限定其一定为第一用户设备和第二用户设备,第一用户设备和第二用户设备可替换为能实现该申请中方法的设备。例如,第一用户设备还可以替换为配置于第一用户设备中的芯片或第一设备,第二用户设备也可以替换为配置于第二用户设备中的芯片或第二设备。
如图6a所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法,该通信方法包括如下步骤:
S601、第一用户设备通过SL向第二用户设备发送第一数据。
可选的,步骤S601可以包括/替换为:针对单播连接,第一用户设备通过SL向第二用户设备发送第一数据。
示例性地,第一数据可以为SL数据。
可选的,步骤S601可以替换为:第一用户设备通过SL向第二用户设备发送第一控制信息,或,第一用户设备通过SL向第二用户设备发送第一控制信息和第一数据。
其中,第一控制信息用于调度第一数据。
例如,第一控制信息可以为SCI,或,第一级SCI。
可以理解的是,第一用户设备通过SL可能仅向第二用户设备发送了第一控制信息,也可能向第二用户设备既发送了第一控制信息又发送了第一数据。例如,第一用户设备通过SL向第二用户设备发送了第一控制信息,但是可能由于一些原因(例如,由于第一数据的发送与其他的传输冲突)未能发送第一数据。
需要说明的是,本申请中的方案还可以适用于除SL之外的其他场景/系统,将步骤S601中的“通过SL”删除(即,不限定发送第一数据和/或第一控制信息的链路),将第一用户设备、第二用户设备替换为第一设备、第二设备进行理解即可。
在步骤S601之后,第一用户设备可以执行以下步骤S602、S603、S604中的任一项或多项。
S602、第一用户设备未接收第一反馈信息,第一用户设备将第一计数器初始化,或者,第一计数器的计数值不变。
可选的,步骤S602可以包括/替换为:针对单播连接,第一用户设备未接收第一反馈信息,第一用户设备将第一计数器初始化,或者,第一计数器的计数值不变。
其中,第一反馈信息可以指示第二用户设备是否成功接收第一数据。
其中,第一计数器可以用于RLF检测。
需要说明的是,第一计数器可以和现有协议中的用于RLF检测的计数器(例如,numConsecutiveDTX)相同,也可以不同。例如,第一计数器为numConsecutiveDTX。
可选的,第一数据、第一控制信息、第一反馈信息、第一反馈资源、第一计数器、第 一指示信息、PSFCH监听时机、RLF中的任一项或多项与单播连接(例如,一个单播连接,或,第一单播连接)和/或SL的RRC连接(例如,一个SL的RRC连接,或,第一SL的RRC连接)相关联。
可选的,可以理解的是,本申请实施例提供的通信方法可以是针对单播连接(例如,一个单播连接)执行的,或者,本申请实施例提供的通信方法可以是针对一个单播连接关联的SL进程(例如,所有SL进程)执行的。
在本申请实施例中,“接收”与“接收到”的含义不同。具体地,“接收”是指执行接收的动作,“接收”的结果可能为“接收到”或者“未接收到”;“未接收”是指没有执行接收的动作,“未接收”的结果为“未接收到”。也就是说,“未接收到”包含两种情形,一是执行接收的动作但未接收到,二是没有执行接收的动作。在此统一说明,以下不再赘述。
可选地,第一反馈信息在第一反馈资源上传输。例如,第一反馈资源可以为PSFCH资源。
示例性地,本申请实施例中的第一反馈信息可以为ACK/NACK信息。
例如,第一反馈信息为ACK,指示第二用户设备成功接收第一数据。
例如,第一反馈信息为NACK,指示第二用户设备未成功接收第一数据。
可选地,第一反馈信息在表述上也可以替换为PSFCH。
