Description

一种通信方法及装置
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求在2021年08月06日提交中国专利局、申请号为202110903435.7、申请名称为“一种通信方法及装置”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
本申请实施例涉及无线通信领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法及装置。
背景技术
在第五代无线接入系统标准新空口(new radio,NR)中,探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS)目前支持四种功能包括基于码本的上行传输、基于非码本的上行传输、波束管理以及天线切换。在不同的应用场景下,网络设备可以通过高层参数为终端设备配置一个或多个SRS资源集,每一个SRS资源集的适用性通过高层参数用例(usage)配置。示例性地,usage包括码本(codebook,CB),非码本(nonCodebook,NCB),波束管理(beamManagement,BM)以及天线切换(antennaSwitching,AS)四种用例,分别对应上述SRS可以实现的四种不同功能。其中,对于时分复用(time division duplexing,TDD)系统,考虑到上下行信道的互易性,网络设备可以根据用于天线切换功能的SRS探测到的上行信道信息获取下行信道信息。
通常,终端设备支持用于同时接收信号的天线的数量大于或等于用于同时发送信号的天线的数量。例如,终端设备中设置有2个或更多个天线,终端设备支持2个天线同时接收信号,所述2个天线中在一个时刻只有一个天线可以发送信号。该方式也可以理解为终端设备具有1T2R的能力。如果终端支持一部分天线同时发送信号,不支持所有天线同时发送信号,则为了获得全信道特性,就需要终端设备引入天线切换(antenna switching)特性,在上行能力范围内,多个天线轮流发送SRS,使得终端设备可以在一段时间内完成所有天线的SRS发送。
目前,多输入多输出(multiple-input multiple-output,MIMO)技术已明确至多8根天线的SRS切换(例如,xTyR,x={1,2,4}、y={6,8},xT表示发送天线数为x,R代表接收天线数为y)。为了更好的实现终端设备的节能和网络配置灵活性,终端设备可以上报支持一种或多种xTyR的能力。网络设备可以根据终端设备上报的一种或多种xTyR的能力,选择一种xTyR通过无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令为终端设备配置SRS资源集。然而,当终端设备支持多种xTyR时,终端设备需要节能或网络设备需要获得全信道信息时,网络设备只能通过RRC重配等方式实现为终端设备配置不同的xTyR的SRS资源集。xTyR配置切换时延较大,存在切换不及时的问题。

为了便于本领域技术人员理解,下面对本申请实施例中所涉及的技术概念和部分用语进行解释说明。
1、探测参考信号
从时域行为的角度,一个NR SRS的资源集可以通过高层参数资源类型(resourceType)配置为周期探测参考信号(Periodic SRS,P-SRS),半持续探测参考信号(Semi-persistent SRS,SP-SRS)和非周期探测参考信号(Aperiodic SRS,AP-SRS)三种时域行为方式。
其中,NR的时隙格式中包括下行符号,上行符号和灵活符号,SRS只能在上行符号或者灵活符号上发送。基站通过高层参数资源映射(resourceMapping)对每一个SRS资源配置发送该资源的连续正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,OFDM)符号个数以及该资源在所触发时隙中所占的起始符号位置。对于P-SRS,每一个SRS资源会被配置时隙级的周期和时隙级的偏置,UE会按照周期对SRS进行重复发送。对于SP-SRS,每一个SRS资源也会被配置时隙级的周期和时隙级的偏置,并通过媒体接入控制信元(medium access control-control Element,MAC CE)发送激活或去激活命令,当半持续SRS被激活时,UE会按照周期对SRS进行重复发送,直到接收去激活命令。
其中,对于AP-SRS,基站会为每一个SRS资源集通过高层参数时隙偏置(slotOffset)定义一个时隙级偏置,当UE接收到一个用于下行调度的下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI),或组公共(group common)DCI或上行调度DCI,DCI的SRS请求(SRS request)域中至少存在一个状态用于触发所配置的一个或多个SRS资源集。示例性地,SRS request域有2比特,具体定义如表1所示。其中,对于DCI格式(format)2_3,高层参数探测参考信号传输功率控制下行控制信道组(srs-TPC-PDCCH-Group)可以设为“类型A(typeA)”或“类型B(typeB)”。对于DCI format 0_1,0_2,1_1,1_2,2_3(高层参数srs-TPC-PDCCH-Group设为“typeB”)高层参数非周期探测参考信号资源触发(aperiodicSRS-ResourceTrigger)或高层参数非周期探测参考信号资源触发列表(aperiodicSRS-ResourceTriggerList)可以被配置为1或2或3,定义每个候选值对应一种触发状态,则每个AP-SRS资源集被配置为以上三种触发状态中的一种。
Figure PCTCN2022110026-appb-000001
Figure PCTCN2022110026-appb-000002
表1 SRS request
简单来讲,AP-SRS的发送位置是用于触发SRS的DCI所在的时隙(图2中的slot n)和slotoffset(图2中k)的和,即如图2所示。这里需要注意的是,AP-SRS资源集的触发是以资源集为单位的,因此,高层参数slotOffset,aperiodicSRS-ResourceTrigger和aperiodicSRS-ResourceTriggerList是以资源集为单位配置的。而每一个SRS资源的发送位置是由基站通过高层参数resourceMapping配置的,具体地,由高层参数resourceMapping配置的连续OFDM符号个数以及该资源在所触发时隙中所占的起始符号位置决定。
2、天线切换技术原理
针对TDD系统,可以利用互异性根据SRS获得下行信道质量。需要注意的是,该特性需要探测所有UE天线去获得全信道特性。常规上,UE可以被配置为在下行链路中支持比在上行链路中更高的数据速率。例如,UE可以被配置有一个发送链和两个接收链以支持不同的数据速率。此外,UE的上下行天线能力不同,通常上行天线个数小于或等于下行天线个数。这里上下行天线能力指的是,可以同时进行发送(上行)或接收(下行)的能力,如图3所示,UE的天线个数为2,其中,上行天线个数为1(antenna port 1),下行天线个数为2(antenna port 0和antenna port 1)。
具体来说,例如,假设基站侧发射天线数为4,UE侧发射天线数为2,UE侧接收天线数为4,则根据上行探测信号所能测得的上行信道可以表示为:
Figure PCTCN2022110026-appb-000003
其中, axy可以表示UE侧天线y和基站侧天线x所对应的上行信道。根据信道互异性,可以获得的对应下行信道可以表示为:
Figure PCTCN2022110026-appb-000004
其中, bxy可以表示基站侧天线x和UE侧天线y所对应的下行信道。而实际需要测量的完整下行信道为:
Figure PCTCN2022110026-appb-000005
因此,利用UE的2根发射天线只获得了部分信道信息。为了获得全信道特性,需要在UE的上行能力范围内,在某一个时刻通过部分上行天线进行SRS的传输,并在下一个时刻通过其他部分天线进行SRS的传输,直到UE在一段时间内完成所有天线探测,由此引入天线切换(antenna switching)特性。例如,当UE被配置的用例类型为'antennaSwitching'时,UE可以在第一SRS传输机会期间从第一天线发送SRS,并且在第二SRS传输机会期间从第二天线发送SRS。SRS用于根据信道互异性测量下行信道质量。
3、SRS配置方法。
UE对SRS的传输取决于信令信息,例如RRC连接设置,RRC连接重配置等,即基站通过这些RRC信息将SRS配置通知给UE。在RRC信令中,SRS被配置在信息元素(information element,IE)SRS-配置(Config)中。IE SRS-Config中定义了一个SRS资源(SRS-Resources)的列表和一个SRS资源集(SRS-ResourceSets)的列表。每个SRS资源集中定义一组SRS-Resources。网络利用配置的参数aperiodicSRS-ResourceTrigger,通过DCI触发一组(非周期)SRS-Resources的传输。
根据Rel-15/16协议中的规定,UE可以通过高层参数SRS-ResourceSet被配置一个或多个SRS资源集,每个SRS资源集通过高层参数srs-ResourceSetId被配置一个标识(ID)。对于每一个配置的资源集,UE可以被配置K≥1个SRS资源,其中K的最大值由UE能力指示。当UE被配置高层参数usage为'antennaSwitching'的SRS资源集时,UE只能被配置为以下配置中的一种:
对于1T2R,最多配置两个高层参数资源类型(resourceType)(用于配置资源集的时域行为,时域行为包括周期、半持续、非周期三种)的值不同的SRS资源集,其中每个资源集配置两个SRS资源,两个资源对应不同的符号。一个资源集中的每个SRS资源由一个单独的SRS端口组成,该资源集的第二个资源的SRS端口所关联的UE天线端口与第一个资源的SRS端口所关联的UE天线端口不同。
对于2T4R,最多配置两个高层参数resourceType的值不同的SRS资源集,其中每个资源集配置有两个SRS资源,两个资源对应不同的符号。一个资源集中的每个SRS资源由两个SRS端口组成,该资源集的第二个资源的SRS端口对所关联的UE天线端口对与第一个资源的SRS端口对所关联的UE天线端口对不同。
对于1T4R,可以配置0个或者1个高层参数resourceType的值设为“周期”或“半持续”(时域行为为周期或者半持续)的SRS资源集,其中每个资源集配置有4个SRS资源,每个资源对应不同的符号。一个资源集中的每个SRS资源由一个单独的SRS端口组成,每个资源的SRS端口所关联的UE天线端口不同。
对于1T4R,可以配置0个或者2个高层参数resourceType的值设为“非周期”(时域行为为非周期)的SRS资源集。2个资源集总共配置4个SRS资源,这4个资源对应2个不同时隙的不同符号。2个给出的资源集中的每个资源的SRS端口所关联的UE天线端口不同。可以两个资源集中各自配置两个SRS资源,也可以一个资源集配置一个SRS资源另一个资源集配置三个SRS资源。这两个资源集的触发参数aperiodicSRS-ResourceTrigger或AperiodicSRS-ResourceTriggerList的值相同,且时隙偏移参数slotOffset不同。
对于1T=1R,或2T=2R,或4T=4R,最多配置两个SRS资源集,每个资源集包含一个资源,每个资源的SRS端口数分别对应为1,2,或4。
对于'antennaSwitching'的用例类型,UE期望为一个SRS资源集中的所有SRS资源配置个数相同的SRS端口。对于1T2R,1T4R或2T4R,UE不期望在同一个时隙内被配置或触发多于一个高层参数usage设为'antennaSwitching'的SRS资源集。对于1T=1R,2T=2R,或4T=4R,UE不期望在同一个符号内被配置或触发多于一个高层参数usage设为'antennaSwitching'的SRS资源集。
4、MAC CE信令
现有协议中存在以下两种MAC CE能够用于指示半持续SRS资源集的激活或去激活: SP SRS激活/去激活(Activation/Deactivation)MAC CE和增强SP/AP SRS空间关系指示(Enhanced SP/AP SRS Spatial Relation Indication)MAC CE。具体设计方法如下:
(一)SP SRS Activation/Deactivation。
SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE用于指示半持续SRS资源集的激活或去激活,由MAC子头中的逻辑信道标识(logical channel index,LCID)为50进行标识,如表2所示现有协议中下行共享信道(Downlink Shared Channel,DL-SCH)的LCID值(部分)。

表2
SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE的信令格式如图4A所示,其中Oct表示八位字节(octet),信令包含的具体字段解释如下:
A/D字段:用于指示所被指示的SP SRS资源集是被激活还是被去激活。当该字段被设置为1,用于指示激活;否则,指示去激活。字段长度为1比特。
SRS资源集小区ID(SRS Resource Set's Cell ID):用于指示所要激活/去激活的SP SRS资源集所在的服务小区ID。当C字段设置为0,该字段也用于指示服务小区ID,该服务小区包含Resource IDi字段所指示的所有资源。字段长度为5比特。

SP SRS资源集ID(SP SRS Resource Set ID):用于指示被激活或去激活的SP SRS资源集ID,该资源集ID由高层参数SRS-ResourceSetId配置。SRS-ResourceSetId取值范围 为1~15,该字段长度为4比特。
F i:用于指示参考信号资源的类型,该参考信号资源用于指示SRS资源的空间关系,其中,SRS资源包含在由SP SRS Resource Set ID字段指示的SP SRS资源集中。F 0关联的是SRS资源集中的第一个资源,F 1关联的是SRS资源集中的第二个资源,以此类推。该字段设置为1,指示用非零功率信道状态信息参考信号(Non-Zero-Power Channel State Information Reference Signal,NZP CSI-RS)资源索引作为参考信号;该字段设置为0,指示同步信号块(Synchronization Signal Block,SSB)索引或SRS资源索引作为参考信号。字段长度为1比特。该字段只在该MAC CE用于指示激活的时候存在。
资源(Resource)ID i:包含用于指示SRS资源i的参考信号资源的ID。激活SRS时,指示F i=0时具体RS的ID。Resource ID 0关联的是SRS资源集中的第一个资源,Resource ID 1关联的是SRS资源集中的第二个资源,以此类推。字段长度为7比特。该字段只在该MACCE用于指示激活的时候存在。该字段的第一位是标识位,当F i设置为0时,该字段的第一位设置为1表示该字段的剩余比特包含的是SSB的ID SSB-Index;当F i设置为0时,该字段的第一位设置为0表示该字段的剩余比特包含的是SRS的ID SRS-ResourceId。

表3
Enhanced SP/AP SRS Spatial Relation Indication MAC CE的信令格式如图4B所示,其中包含的具体字段解释与SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE中所包含的具体字段解释类似,相似部分不再赘述,区别点有以下三个:
A/D字段:用于指示所被指示的SP SRS资源集是被激活还是被去激活。当该字段被设置为1,用于指示激活;否则,指示去激活。字段长度为1比特。当被指示的SRS资源 集ID是非周期SRS资源集,MAC实体会忽略该字段。
SRS资源集ID(SRS Resource Set ID):用于指示SP/AP SRS资源集ID,该资源集ID由高层参数SRS-ResourceSetId配置。SRS-ResourceSetId取值范围为1~15,该字段长度为4比特。
Resource ID i:包含用于指示SRS资源i的参考信号资源的ID。激活SRS时,指示F i=0时具体RS的ID。Resource ID 0关联的是SRS资源集中的第一个资源,Resource ID 1关联的是SRS资源集中的第二个资源,以此类推。字段长度为8比特。该字段只在该MAC CE用于指示SP SRS资源集激活或AP SRS资源集的时候存在。该字段的第一位是标识位,当F i设置为0时,该字段的第一位一直设置为0。当F i设置为0时,该字段的第二位设置为1表示该字段的剩余比特包含的是SSB的ID SSB-Index;当F i设置为0时,该字段的第二位设置为0表示该字段的剩余比特包含的是SRS的ID SRS-ResourceId。
5、xTyR配置切换
根据现有协议,UE可以上报支持一种或多种'xTyR'的UE能力,以实现更好的UE节能和网络配置灵活性。因此,UE会上报以下UE能力中的一种:'t1r2','t1r1-t1r2','t2r4','t1r4','t1r1-t1r2-t1r4','t1r4-t2r4','t1r1-t1r2-t2r2-t2r4','t1r1-t1r2-t2r2-t1r4-t2r4','t1r1','t2r2','t1r1-t2r2','t4r4','t1r1-t2r2-t4r4'。
其中,'t1r2'表示1T2R,支持1个发射天线端口2个接收天线端口,即UE总共有2个天线端口,一次最多有1个天线端口用于发射,一次最多有2个天线端口用于接收。't1r1-t1r2'表示1T=1R/1T2R,即UE支持1个发射天线端口1个接收天线端口、或者1个发射天线端口2个接收天线端口。't2r4'表示2T4R,即UE支持2个发射天线端口4个接收天线端口。't1r4'表示1T4R,即UE支持1个发射天线端口4个接收天线端口。't1r1-t1r2-t1r4'表示1T=1R/1T2R/1T4R,即UE支持1个发射天线端口1个接收天线端口、或1个发射天线端口2个接收天线端口、或1个发射天线端口4个接收天线端口。't1r4-t2r4'表示1T4R/2T4R,即UE支持1个发射天线端口4个接收天线端口、或2个发射天线端口4个接收天线端口。't1r1-t1r2-t2r2-t2r4'表示1T=1R/1T2R/2T=2R/2T4R,即UE支持1个发射天线端口1个接收天线端口、或1个发射天线端口2个接收天线端口、或2个发射天线端口2个接收天线端口、或2个发射天线端口4个接收天线端口。't1r1-t1r2-t2r2-t1r4-t2r4'表示1T=1R/1T2R/2T=2R/1T4R/2T4R,即UE支持1个发射天线端口1个接收天线端口、或1个发射天线端口2个接收天线端口、或2个发射天线端口2个接收天线端口、或1个发射天线端口4个接收天线端口、或2个发射天线端口4个接收天线端口。't1r1'表示1T=1R,即UE只支持1个发射天线端口1个接收天线端口。't2r2'表示2T=2R,即UE只支持2个发射天线端口2个接收天线端口。't1r1-t2r2'表示1T=1R/2T=2R,即UE可以支持1个发射天线端口1个接收天线端口,也可以支持2个发射天线端口2个接收天线端口。't4r4'表示4T=4R,即UE只支持4个发射天线端口4个接收天线端口。't1r1-t2r2-t4r4'表示1T=1R/2T=2R/4T=4R,即UE可以支持1个发射天线端口1个接收天线端口、2个发射天线端口2个接收天线端口或者4个发射天线端口4个接收天线端口。
当基站为UE配置高层参数usage为'antennaSwitching'的SRS资源集时,基站会根据UE上报的UE能力supportedSRS-TxPortSwitch的值,为UE进行唯一配置。例如,当supportedSRS-TxPortSwitch的值为't1r1-t1r2-t2r2-t2r4',基站可以按照上述SRS配置方法中所述的1T=1R、1T2R、2T=2R、2T4R中的一种对UE进行配置。其中,如图5所示,其 中gNB表示基站,以1T2R的配置方法为例,此时UE只需要将每个SRS映射到一个功率放大器(power amplifier,PA)如PA1,可以节省功率,但此时只能测得两根接收天线对应的信道,即H1,存在部分信道信息损失,进而影响下行性能。或者,以2T4R的配置方法为例,此时UE需要将每个SRS映射到两个PA(PA1和PA2),此时UE功率消耗较大,但可以测得全部(4根)接收天线对应的信道,即H1和H2,避免信道信息损失。这里需要注意的是,基站每次只能通过RRC信令为UE配置一种xTyR,当UE支持多种xTyR时,基站只能通过RRC重配实现为UE配置不同的xTyR。
由上述内容可知,当UE上报多于一种xTyR能力时,通过RRC重配实现为UE配置不同的xTyR,实现不同xTyR配置的切换,在每次xTyR配置切换时,都需要通过RRC信令重新向UE下发与切换后的xTyR配置所对应的SRS配置(如SRS资源集等),时延较高,可能存在xTyR配置切换不及时、不能满足用户要求的问题。
本申请主要解决这对天线切换功能的SRS,当终端设备(如UE)上报多于一种xTyR能力时,如何实现灵活的天线配置,降低切换时延的问题。主要是通过对MAC CE的信令设计,在不引入新的LCID的情况下,实现在RRC配置的SRS资源集中,通过MAC CE激活其中的部分SRS资源集(或部分SRS资源),进而实现灵活的天线切换配置。

图6为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法示意图,该方法包括:
S601:网络设备向终端设备发送第一指示信息。
该第一指示信息用于指示一个或多个SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态,一个或多个RS资源集中包括资源类型设置为半持续(Semi-persistent,SP)的SRS资源集和/或资源类型设置为非周期(Aperiodic,AP)的SRS资源集。其中资源类型设置为SP的SRS资源集也可以称为SP SPS资源集,资源类型设置为AP的SRS资源集也可以称为AP SPS资源集。
作为一种可能的实施方式,在本申请实施例中,第一指示信息为MAC CE,或者,第一指示信息为MAC CE指示的信息,或者第一指示信息包含在MAC CE中。
其中,一个或多个SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态为以下中的任意一项:

其中,该一个或多个SRS资源集中包含M+N个SRS资源集。该一个或多个SRS资源集由高层配置信令配置,例如,高层信令RRC中包含一个或多个高层参数SRS-ResourceSet,其中,每个SRS-ResourceSet对应一个SRS资源集。
S602:终端设备根据所述第一指示信息控制SRS的传输。
在本申请实施例中,网络设备可以通过高层配置信令,如RRC信令等为终端设备配置一个或多个SRS资源集,如为终端设备配置一个或多个SP SRS资源集,或者一个或多个AP SRS资源集,或者一个或多个SP SRS资源集和一个或多个AP SRS资源集。其中,SRS资源集是用于天线切换的(例如,高层参数usage配置为antennaSwitching),或者SRS资源集是用于波束管理的(例如,高层参数usage配置为beamManagement),或者SRS资 源集是用于基于码本的上行数据传输的(例如,高层参数usage配置为codebook),或者SRS资源集是用于基于非码本的上行数据传输的(例如,高层参数usage配置为nonCodebook),或者SRS资源集是用于定位的。为了便于阐述本申请的方案,下面以用于天线切换的SRS资源集为例,阐述本申请的具体实施。但需要说明的是,本申请方案同样适用于其他功能的RS资源集。
作为一种示例,在终端设备支持多于一种xTyR能力时,终端设备可以将自身所支持的多于一种的xTyR能力均上报给网络设备,网络设备根据终端设备上报的xTyR能力,通过高层配置信令向终端设备下发一个或多个SRS资源集,其中所述一个或多个SRS资源集可以为多个SP SRS资源集,或者多个AP SRS资源集,或者一个或多个SP SRS资源集和一个或多个AP SRS资源集。
以终端设备向网络设备上报支持的xTyR能力为't2r4-t2r8-t4r8'为例,如图7所示,网络设备可以通过高层配置信令向终端设备配置1个SP SRS资源集和2个AP SRS资源集。其中SP SRS资源中配置有两个SRS资源,两个SRS资源对应不同的符号,每个SRS资源由4个单独的SRS端口(port)组成,该SRS资源集的第二个SRS资源的SRS端口对所关联的终端设备天线端口对与第一个SRS资源的SRS端口对所关联的终端设备天线端口对不同。每个AP SRS资源集配置有两个SRS资源,两个SRS资源对应不同的符号,一个SRS资源集中的每个SRS资源由两个SRS端口组成,该SRS资源集的第二个SRS资源的SRS端口对所关联的终端设备天线端口对与第一个SRS资源的SRS端口对所关联的终端设备天线端口对不同。
在一些实施例中,对于用于天线切换的AP SRS资源集(例如,高层参数usage配置为antennaSwitching的AP SRS资源集),所配置的触发状态可以相同,即AP SRS资源集对应的高层参数aperiodicSRS-ResourceTrigger或aperiodicSRS-ResourceTriggerList中的至少一项相同。
对于第一指示信息,终端设备可以根据来自网络设备的LCID的码点或索引为50的MAC子头(如SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE)或eLCID的码点为248且索引为312的MAC子头(如Enhanced SP/AP SRS Spatial Relation Indication MAC CE)所对应的MAC CE来确定,当然也可以LCID的码点大于255和/或索引大于319的MAC子头,也即其它类型的MAC CE来确定。也就是说,第一指示信息包含在MAC CE中,或者,MAC CE指示第一指示信息。
以第一指示信息根据SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE或Enhanced SP/AP SRS Spatial Relation Indication MAC CE来确定为例,如图4A和4B所示,对于以上两种MAC CE来说,八位字节(octet,Oct)2中包含两个比特的预留比特R,SRS Resource Set ID字段长度为4比特,但由于SRS Resource Set ID字段指示的是SRS资源集的ID,一个MAC CE命令指示一个SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。本申请实施例可以针对SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE和Enhanced SP/AP SRS Spatial Relation Indication MAC CE的Oct进行进一步设计,以在不增加这两个MAC CE信令开销的前提下,实现用于SRS资源集的灵活指示,进而实现灵活天线切换的指示。这里的“灵活天线切换的指示”指的是,当终端设备上报支持多种xTyR时,网络设备可以通过高层信令(如MAC CE)、或DCI等指示采用哪种xTyR,也就是说,指示根据哪种xTyR配置发送SRS,或者,进行哪种xTyR的测量,或者,指示x的值和/或y的值,或者,指示xTyR配置。下面以MAC CE 为例,结合不同的对MAC CE设计实现来具体说明。
实现一:第一指示信息包括第一字段和第二字段,第一字段用于指示资源类型设置为SP的一个或多个RS资源集的激活/去激活状态;第二字段用于指示资源类型设置为AP的一个或多个RS资源集的激活/去激活状态。
其中,用于确定第一指示信息的MAC CE信令的格式和指示内容,可以如图8所示,需要注意的是,本实施例只以重新设计SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE为例说明,设计方法同样适用于重新设计其他MAC CE,或者同样适用于单独的MAC CE。此外,图8中只列出了Oct1、Oct2和Oct3,其他Oct的格式及指示内容与现有协议保持一致,或者与现有协议不保持一致。
在图8所示的MAC CE Oct2中,包括第一字段(如图8中S 0、S 1)和第二字段(如图8中A 0、A 1、A 2、A 3)。第一字段和第二字段的长度是预定义的,或者高层配置信令配置的。第一字段和第二字段的长度是预定义的,例如,第一字段的长度为2个比特,第一字段指示SP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态,第二字段的长度为4个比特,第二字段指示AP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。可选的,第一字段用bitmap的方式指示一个或多个SP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。例如,第一字段的每个比特指示对应索引的SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态,或者,第一字段包含的每个字段指示对应索引的SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。可选的,高层配置信令配置两个SRS资源集,第一字段用bitmap的方式指示两个SP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。可选的,如果高层配置信令配置两个SRS资源集,第一字段中包含的第一个比特和第二个比特分别用于指示索引为0和索引为1的SP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态;如果高层配置信令配置一个SP SRS资源集,第一字段中包含的第一个比特用于指示SP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态,MAC实体忽略第二个比特。其中,索引是SP SRS资源集的唯一标识。例如,索引是SP SRS资源集ID,或者,索引是srs-ResourceSetId,或者,索引是SP SRS资源集ID映射的值。第二字段的字段长度为4个比特,第二字段可以用于指示AP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。可选地,高层配置信令配置四个AP SRS资源集,第二字段用bitmap的方式指示4个AP SRS资源集进行指示,即第二字段中包含的4个比特分别用于指示索引为0、索引为1、索引为2及索引为3的AP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。可选地,高层配置信令配置少于四个AP SRS资源集,MAC实体忽略除所配置的AP SRS资源集所对应的比特之外的比特或字段。第一字段和第二字段的长度是高层配置信令配置的,例如,第一字段的长度等于高层配置信令的SP SRS资源集的个数,第二字段的长度等于高层配置信令的AP SRS资源集的个数。可选的,该SP SRS资源集和/或AP SRS资源集的用例配置为天线切换。
应理解,作为一种可选的实现方式,上述第一字段和/或第二字段的长度可以应用于本实施例的所有实现方式。
作为一种可选的实现方式,A/D字段设置为1,第一字段和第二字段中某个比特设置为1,可以指示对应的SRS资源集被激活,第一字段和第二字段中某个比特设置为0,可以指示对应的SRS资源集不被激活(也即状态保持不变)。A/D字段为0,第一字段和第二字段中某个比特设置为1,可以指示对应的SRS资源集被去激活,第一字段和第二字段中某个比特设置为0,可以指示对应的SRS资源集不被去激活(也即状态保持不变)。
作为一种可选的实现方式,A/D字段设置为1,第一字段和第二字段中某个比特设置为0,可以指示对应的SRS资源集被激活,第一字段和第二字段中某个比特设置为1,可 以指示对应的SRS资源集不被激活(也即状态保持不变)。A/D字段为0,第一字段和第二字段中某个比特设置为0,可以指示对应的SRS资源集被去激活,第一字段和第二字段中某个比特设置为1,可以指示对应的SRS资源集不被去激活(也即状态保持不变)。
作为一种可选的实现方式,A/D字段被忽略,如MAC实体忽略A/D字段时,或者MAC CE中不包含A/D字段,第一字段和第二字段中某个比特设置为1,可以指示对应的SRS资源集被激活,第一字段和第二字段中某个比特设置为0,可以指示对应的SRS资源集被去激活。
作为一种可选的实现方式,A/D字段被忽略,如MAC实体忽略A/D字段时,或者MAC CE中不包含A/D字段,第一字段和第二字段中某个比特设置为0,可以指示对应的SRS资源集被激活,第一字段和第二字段中某个比特设置为1,可以指示对应的SRS资源集被去激活。
这里针对第一字段长度的设计,对于用于天线切换功能的SRS,对于同一种xTyR,一个RRC信令最多只能为终端设备配置一个SP SRS资源集,未来可能支持为同一种xTyR配置两个SP SRS资源集,或者支持为两种xTyR各自配置一个SP SRS资源集。因此,用两个比特指示SP SRS资源集是足够且合理的。针对第二字段长度的设计,对于同一种xTyR,一个RRC信令最多只能为UE配置4个AP SRS资源集。因此,用4个比特指示AP SRS资源集是足够且合理的。
另外,在实现方式一中,网络设备通过高层配置信令向终端设备配置SRS资源集时,所述SRS资源集的索引值是高层信令配置的,或者是根据预定义规则判断的。例如,所述字段0(或者比特0,或者第一个比特)用于指示所述第一RS资源集包含的RS资源中,RS资源标识SRS-ResourceId最小的RS资源的激活或去激活状态;所述字段1(或者比特1,或者第二个比特)用于指示所述第一RS资源集包含的RS资源中,SRS-ResourceId第二小的RS资源的激活或去激活状态;所述字段i(或者比特i,或者第i+1个比特)用于指示所述第一RS资源集包含的RS资源中,SRS-ResourceId第i-1小的RS资源的激活或去激活状态;其中,0≤i≤L,i是自然数。又例如,RRC信令为终端设备配置4个用于天线切换的AP SRS资源集,按照所述AP SRS资源集对应的高层参数srs-ResourceSetId从小到大的顺序,所述4个AP SRS资源集的索引值依次为0、1、2、3。又如,RRC信令为终端设备配置4个用于天线切换的AP SRS资源集,且为所述4个AP SRS资源集直接配置各自的索引值。4个AP SRS资源集的索引值可以根据索引值与第二字段中的比特进行对应,如4个AP SRS资源集的索引值依次为0、1、2、3,分别对应于图8中第二字段中的A 0、A 1、A 2、A 3。又如,RRC信令为终端设备配置4个用于天线切换的AP SRS资源集,按照所述AP SRS资源集对应的高层参数srs-ResourceSetId从大到小的顺序,所述4个AP SRS资源集的索引值依次为3、2、1、0。
作为一种示例,网络设备为终端设备配置如图7所示的一个SP SRS资源集和2个AP SRS资源集,对于SP SRS资源集,SP SRS资源集的索引值为0,对应图8中第一字段中的S 0,对于AP时域行为的两个AP SRS资源集,按照所述AP SRS资源集对应的高层参数srs-ResourceSetId从小到大的顺序,2个AP SRS资源集的索引值依次为0、1,分别对应于图8中第二字段中的A 0、A 1。对于图8中第一字段中的S 1和第二字段中的A 2、A 3,MAC实体对其忽略。示例性的,当A/D字段设置为1、第一字段中S 0设置为1、第二字段中A 0和A 1均设置为0,指示SP资源集被激活,两个AP SRS资源集不被激活,终端设 备发送SP资源集包含的SRS,此时对应的是4T8R的测量或配置。示例性的,当A/D字段设置为1、第一字段中S 0设置为0、第二字段中A 0设置为0,A 1设置为1,指示SP资源集不被激活,两个AP SRS资源集中srs-ResourceSetId较大的资源集被激活,此时对应的是2T4R的测量或配置。示例性的,当A/D字段设置为1、第一字段中S 0设置为0、第二字段中A 0设置为1,A 1设置为1,指示SP资源集不被激活,两个AP SRS资源集被激活,此时对应的是2T8R的测量或配置。
另外,需要理解的是,对于SP SRS资源集,终端设备接收到第一指示信息,指示SP SRS资源集被激活,满足一定的时间条件后,终端设备即可以根据SP SRS资源集的周期和偏置发送SP SRS资源集对应的SRS,终端设备接收到第一指示信息,指示SP SRS资源集被去激活,满足一定的时间条件后,停止发送该SRS资源集对应的SRS。例如,一定的时间条件是时隙
Figure PCTCN2022110026-appb-000008
后的第一个时隙,其中,时隙n指的是传输携带了激活或去激活命令的物理下行共享信道PDSCH的时隙,μ是传输携带HARQ-ACK的PUCCH的SCS配置,
Figure PCTCN2022110026-appb-000009
指的是一个子帧中包含的时隙个数。
这里需要说明的是,在本发明实施例中,停止发送SRS资源集对应的SRS指的是,不再发送SRS,直到接收到激活该资源集的命令。
对于AP SRS资源集,终端设备接收到第一指示信息,指示AP SRS资源集被激活后,仅表示该AP SRS资源集可以被触发,终端设备接收到第一指示信息,指示AP SRS资源集被去激活后,表示该AP SRS资源集不可以被触发。
对于可以被触发的AP SRS资源集,终端设备还需要获取来自网络设备的DCI,根据所述DCI的SRS请求(request)字段确定触发的SRS资源集,在触发的SRS资源集包含的SRS资源上发送SRS。作为一种示例,对于可以被触发的AP SRS资源集,当AP SRS资源集的对应的高层参数aperiodicSRS-ResourceTrigger或aperiodicSRS-ResourceTriggerList和DCI中SRS请求字段所属于的比特状态一致时,才发送AP SRS资源集包含的SRS。
需要理解的是本申请实施例中,第一字段和第二字段不局限于2比特和4比特,第一字段和第二字段包括的比特数为自然数,例如第一字段包括1比特、第二字段包括5比特等,也可以是第一字段包括的比特数和第二字段包括的比特数的和为6、为8等,在一些实施例中,也可以是第一字段包括的比特数为0、第二字段包括的比特数不为0,仅用于指示AP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态,还可以是第一字段包括的比特数不为0,第二字段包括的比特数为0,仅用于指示SP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。第一字段和第二字段的长度和可以是固定值,例如,是8比特。
作为一种可能的实施方式,第一指示信息指示激活或去激活的AP SRS资源集可以是满足以下一项或多项条件的AP SRS资源集:该AP SRS资源集的功能是天线切换,即资源集的高层参数usage设为'antennaSwitching';在同一个RRC信令中,配置了多于一个用于天线切换的AP SRS资源集;高层信令指示该AP SRS资源集需要被激活;高层信令指示多于一个AP SRS资源集用于天线切换。作为一种可能的实施方式,当AP SRS资源集满足以上一项或多项条件,且在未接收到激活命令时,不能根据所述DCI的SRS请求(request)字段确定触发的SRS资源集;当AP SRS资源集不满足以上任一条件时,直接根据所述DCI的SRS请求(request)字段确定触发的SRS资源集。
在一些实施中,MAC CE中包含信令用于指示该MAC CE(MAC CE中的第一指示信息)是否用于指示AS SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态的指示信息。或者,MAC CE中包含信令用于指示AS SRS资源集是否需要MAC CE进行激活/去激活。
作为一种可能的实施方式,MAC CE中包含第三字段,所述第三字段用于指示所述MAC CE是否用于指示AP SRS的激活或去激活。当第三字段设置为1,该MAC CE用于指示AP SRS的激活或去激活;当第三字段设置为0,该MAC CE不用于指示AP SRS的激活或去激活,MAC实体忽略该字段。可选的,第三字段即为重新定义的A/D字段。
可选地,所述第三字段用于指示该MAC CE是否用于指示SP SRS的激活或去激活。当第三字段设置为1,该MAC CE用于指示SP SRS的激活或去激活;否则,该MAC CE不用于指示SP SRS的激活或去激活,MAC实体忽略该字段。进一步地,所述第三字段用于指示所述MAC CE的第一字段所指示的内容。当第三字段设置为1,当前MAC CE所包含的第一字段用于指示SP SRS资源集被激活或去激活;当第三字段设置为0,当前MAC CE所包含的第一字段用于指示索引为4和索引为5的AP SRS资源集被激活或去激活。或者,当第三字段设置为0,当前MAC CE所包含的第一字段和第二字段联合指示AP SRS资源集被激活或去激活,第一字段的两个比特对应索引为0和索引为1的AP SRS资源集,第二字段的四个比特对应索引为2、索引为3、索引为4及索引为5的AP SRS资源集。
实现二:第一指示信息包括第一字段;第一字段的比特状态与第二字段或第三字段相关联;或者,第一字段的比特状态与第二字段的部分比特或第三字段的部分比特相关联。也即第一字段的比特状态与第二字段所指示的信息或第二字段部分比特所指示的信息相关联,或者,第一字段的比特状态与第三状态所指示的信息或第三字段部分比特所指示的信息相关联。也就是说,第一字段的比特状态与所述第二字段或第二字段的部分比特相关联,指的是,根据第一字段的比特状态确定第二字段或第二字段的部分比特指示的信息;第一字段的比特状态与所述第三字段或第三字段的部分比特相关联,指的是,根据第一字段的比特状态确定第三字段或第三字段的部分比特指示的信息。
其中,所述第一字段属于第一比特状态集合,所述第一字段与第二字段或第二字段的部分比特相关联,所述第二字段用于指示一个资源类型设置为SP的RS资源集的激活/去激活状态;也就是说,所述第一字段属于第一比特状态集合,按照第一方式确定第二字段(或第二字段指示的信息),例如,所述第二字段用于指示一个资源类型设置为SP的RS资源集的激活/去激活状态。
第一字段的长度可以是1比特,或者是2比特。
所述第一字段属于第二比特状态集合,所述第一字段与第三字段或第三字段的部分比特相关联,所述第三字段或第三字段的部分比特用于指示一个或多个资源类型设置为AP的RS资源集的激活/去激活状态。也就是说,所述第一字段属于第二比特状态集合,按照第二方式确定第三字段(或第三字段指示的信息),例如,所述第三字段用于指示一个资源类型设置为AP的RS资源集的激活/去激活状态。
作为一种可能的实现方式,第三字段用bitmap的方式指示一个或多个AP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。第三段的长度是高层配置信令配置的,或者是预定义的。例如,第三字段的长度等于高层配置信令的AP SRS资源集的个数,例如,高层配置信令配置4个AP SRS资源集,第三字段中包含的4个比特分别用于指示索引为0、索引为1、索引为2及索引为3的AP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。又如,第三字段的长度为固定值。例如,第三字段的长度为4比特。高层配置信令配置4个AP SRS资源集,第三字段中包含的4个比特分别用于指示索引为0、索引为1、索引为2及索引为3的AP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。可选地,高层配置信令配置少于四个AP SRS资源集,MAC实体忽略除所配 置的AP SRS资源集所对应的比特之外的比特或字段。可选的,该AP SRS资源集的用例配置为天线切换。可选的,此时第一字段长度为1比特。作为一种可能的实现方式,第三字段用bitmap的方式指示一个或多个SP SRS资源集和AP SRS资源集进行指示。第三段的长度是高层配置信令配置的,或者是预定义的。例如,第三字段的长度等于高层配置信令的SP SRS资源集和AP SRS资源集的个数,例如,高层配置信令配置1个SP SRS资源集和3个AP SRS资源集,第三字段中包含的4个比特分别用于指示索引为0、索引为1、索引为2及索引为3的SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。又如,第三字段的长度为固定值。例如,第三字段的长度为4比特。可选地,高层配置信令配置少于四个SRS资源集,MAC实体忽略除所配置的AP SRS资源集所对应的比特之外的比特或字段。可选的,该SP SRS资源集和/或AP SRS资源集的用例配置为天线切换。可选的,此时第一字段长度为1比特。
作为一种可能的实现方式,所述第一字段属于第二比特状态集合时,根据发送天线端口个数对AP SRS资源集分组的方法,利用MAC CE信令指示SP SRS资源集和/或AP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态,在不引入新LCID的前提下,设计信令的结构及指示内容。可选的,此时第一字段长度为2比特。
这里需要注意的是,为了保证兼容性,对于用于天线切换的SRS,每个SRS资源集中包含的SRS资源对应的SRS端口个数相同,即对应的Tx天线数相同。
实现二与实现一的主要区别在于可以通过第一字段确定MAC CE中包含第二字段或第三字段,进而MAC CE信令的设计方法不同。具体设计方法可以如下:
其中,用于确定第一指示信息的MAC CE信令的格式和指示内容,可以如图9A和图9B所示,需要注意的是,本实施例只以重新设计SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE为例说明,设计方法同样适用于重新设计其他MAC CE,或者同样适用于单独的MAC CE。此外,图9A和图9B中只列出了Oct1、Oct2和Oct3,其他Oct的格式及指示内容本申请不做限定。
在图9A和图9B所示,在MAC CE Oct2中,可以包括第一字段(如图9A中B 0和B 1)和第二字段(如图9A中SP SRS Resource Set ID),或者包括第一字段(如图9B中B 0和B 1)和第三字段(如图9B中A 0、A 1、A 2、A 3)。可选的,第一字段可以用于指示SRS资源集组,包含两个比特。在一些实施中,当第一字段属于第一比特状态集合(如被设置为00),第一字段与第二字段或第二字段的部分比特相关联,也即第一字段的比特状态与第二字段所指示的信息相关联,MAC CE与原有(R15/R16)中的SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE功能相同。当第一字段属于第二比特状态集合(如被设置为01,或10,或11),第一字段与第三字段或第三字段的部分比特相关联,所述第三字段或第三字段的部分比特用于指示第一个,或第二个,或第三个SRS资源集组中的一个或多个AP SRS资源集被激活或者去激活。
也就是说,当第一字段被设置为00,第二字段为SP SRS Resource Set ID字段,字段长度为4比特,用于指示被激活或去激活的SP SRS资源集ID。当第一字段被设置为01,第三字段中的4个比特依次用于指示索引为0、索引为1、索引为2及索引为3的AP SRS资源集被激活或去激活,其中,所述AP SRS资源集包含在第一个SRS资源集组中。当第一字段被设置为10或11,第三字段分别用于指示第二个或第三个SRS资源集组。可选的,第一个SRS资源集组中包含的资源由第一数值个SRS端口组成,第二个SRS资源集组中包含的资源由第二数值个SRS端口组成,第三个SRS资源集组中包含的资源由第三数值 个SRS端口组成。例如,第一数值为1,第二数值为2,第三数值为3。
其中,在A/D字段为1时,第三字段中某个比特设置为1,可以指示对应的SRS资源集被激活,第三字段中某个比特设置为0,可以指示对应的SRS资源集不被激活(也即状态保持不变)。在A/D字段为0时,第三字段中某个比特设置为1,可以指示对应的SRS资源集被去激活,第三字段中某个比特设置为0,可以指示对应的SRS资源集不被去激活(也即状态保持不变)。在A/D字段被忽略时,如被MAC实体忽略时,第三字段中某个比特设置为1,可以指示对应的SRS资源集被激活,第三字段中某个比特设置为0,可以指示对应的SRS资源集被去激活。一个SRS资源集组内的AP SRS资源集的索引由预定义规则确定,或由高层信息指示。例如,一个SRS资源集组内的AP SRS资源集的ID(即高层参数srs-ResourceSetId)由小到大依次对应为索引0~3。可选地,当第一字段被设置为01,或10,或11时,A/D字段作为预留字段或用于指示其他功能。这里需要说明的是,SRS资源集组是网络设备通过高层信令(例如RRC信令,或MAC CE信令)隐式配置的,或者是网络设备通过高层信令(例如RRC信令,或MAC CE信令)显式配置的。SRS资源集组是网络设备隐式配置的,例如,根据SRS资源集中的SRS资源所对应的SRS端口个数对SRS资源集分组,或者,根据SRS资源集中的SRS资源所对应的SRS端口个数及SRS资源集的资源类型对SRS资源集分组,或者,根据SRS资源集的资源类型对SRS资源集分组。
作为一种示例:对于AP SRS资源集,根据AP SRS资源集中包含的AP SRS资源所对应的SRS端口个数进行分组。例如,第一个SRS资源集组中包含的AP SRS资源集中的SRS资源由1个SRS端口组成,当第一字段被设置为01,第三字段用于指示第一个SRS资源集组中包含的所有SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。又如,第二个SRS资源集组中包含的AP SRS资源集中的SRS资源由2个SRS端口组成,当第一字段被设置为10,第三字段用于指示第二个SRS资源集组中包含的所有SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。再如,第三个SRS资源集组中包含的AP SRS资源集中的SRS资源由4个SRS端口组成,当第一字段被设置为11,第三字段用于指示第三个SRS资源集组中包含的所有SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。
需要理解的是,上述是以SRS资源集中仅包括AP SRS资源集为例,在一些实施中,SRS资源集中即可以包括AP SRS资源集还可以包括SP SRS资源集,也就是说第一字段属于第二比特状态集合,所述第一字段与第三字段或第三字段的部分比特相关联时,第三字段或第三字段的部分比特也可以用于指示包括资源类型设置为AP和资源类型设置为SP的多个SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。
其中,根据第一指示信息指示的多个SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态,控制SRS的传输的实现与实现一类似,不再进行赘述。
实现三:第一指示信息包括第一字段和第二字段,第一字段的比特状态与所述第二字段相关联;第一字段用于指示RS资源集组的ID,第二字段用于指示RS资源集组中的一个或多个RS资源集的激活/去激活状态。
实现三与实现二主要区别在于可以根据时域行为/时域类型分组、或网络设备高层信令配置分组,进而MAC CE信令的设计方法不同。具体设计方法可以如下:
其中,用于确定第一指示信息的MAC CE信令的格式和指示内容,可以如图10所示,需要注意的是,本实施例只以重新设计SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE为例说明, 设计方法同样适用于重新设计其他MAC CE,或者同样适用于单独的MAC CE。此外,图10中只列出了Oct1、Oct2和Oct3,其他Oct的格式及指示内容本申请不做限定。
如图10所示,在MAC CE Oct2中,可以包括第一字段(如图10中组(group)ID)和第二字段(如图10中A 0、A 1、A 2、A 3)。第一字段可以用于指示SRS资源集组的ID,包含两个比特。在一些实施中,当第一字段设置为00,第一字段与第二字段或第二字段的部分比特相关联,所述第二字段或第二字段的部分比特用于指示第一个,或第二个,或第三个SRS资源集组中的一个或多个SRS资源集被激活或者去激活。其中一个SRS资源集组中可以包括AP SRS资源集和/或SP SRS资源集。
具体的,SRS资源集组可以根据SRS资源集的时域类型确定。如SP SRS资源集在资源集组0,即第一字段被设置为00,指示该MAC CE用于SP SRS资源集的激活或去激活。SRS资源集组也可以通过高层信令(例如RRC信令,或MAC CE信令)为每个SRS资源集配置资源集组ID,即指示每个SRS资源集属于唯一的资源集组。
作为一种示例,如图11所示,终端设备上报能力支持(supported)SRS-TxPortSwitch的值为't1r6-t1r8-t2r8-t4r8',也即终端设备向网络设备上报支持的xTyR能力为't1r6-t1r8-t2r8-t4r8',网络设备通过RRC为基站配置了1个SP SRS资源集以及6个AP SRS资源集。并通过高层信令显示或隐式指示了RS资源集组0包含一个SP SRS资源集,该资源集包含两个SRS资源,每个SRS资源由4个SRS端口组成。SRS资源集组1包含两个AP SRS资源集,其中,每个资源集包含两个SRS资源,每个SRS资源由2个SRS端口组成,所述两个资源集中,srs-ResourceSetId较小的为集(set)0,srs-ResourceSetId较大的为set1。SRS资源集组2包含四个AP SRS资源集,其中,每个资源集包含两个SRS资源,每个SRS资源由1个SRS端口组成,所述四个资源集中,srs-ResourceSetId由小到大依次为set0、set1、set2、set3。
如图12所示,网络设备将第一字段设置为00,此时第一字段和第二字段相关联,第二字段用于指示要被激活或去激活的SP SRS资源集的ID,也即用于指示一个资源类型设置为SP的RS资源集的激活/去激活状态。或用于指示SRS资源集组0(即group0)中所包含的SP SRS资源集。按照上述示例,第一字段设置为00,第二字段用于指示SP SRS资源集的ID。A/D字段用于指示所述SP SRS资源集被激活或去激活。当A/D字段设置为1,SP SRS资源集被激活,终端设备发送SP SRS资源集对应的SRS,此时SRS用于实现4T8R的测量。当A/D字段设置为0,SP SRS资源集被去激活,终端设备停止发送SP SRS资源集包含的SRS。
作为另一种可能的实现方式,第一字段设置为00,第二字段用于指示一个或多个SP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。其中第二字段可以用bitmap的方式指示一个或多个SP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态,例如,高层配置信令配置4个SP SRS资源集,第三字段中包含的4个比特分别用于指示索引为0、索引为1、索引为2及索引为3的SP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。第一字段设置为01、10、11中的任一项,第二字段用于指示一组AP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。
在本实施例中,第一字段长度为2比特。第二字段的长度可以是预定义的或者高层参数配置的。其中,高层参数配置的可以是显式配置的,或者隐式配置的。第二字段的长度是预定义的,例如,第二字段的长度是4比特,当SRS资源集组的个数少于4时,MAC实体忽略第二字段中的部分比特。第二字段的长度是高层参数隐式配置的,例如,第二字 段的长度等于高层参数配置的AP SRS资源集组的个数。
如图13所示,网络设备将第一字段设置为01,此时第二字段用于指示SRS资源集组1(即group1)中所包含的AP SRS资源集。第二字段中的前两个比特用于指示SRS资源集组1中所包含的两个AP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。当第二字段中的前两个比特均设置为1,A/D字段设置为1,表示SRS资源集组1中包含的两个AP SRS资源集都被激活,当终端设备接收用于触发该组AP SRS资源集的DCI,终端设备发送对应的SRS,此时SRS用于实现2T8R的测量。当第二字段中的前两个比特均设置为1,A/D字段设置为0,表示SRS资源集组1中包含的两个AP SRS资源集都被去激活,当终端设备接收用于触发该组AP SRS资源集的DCI,终端设备停止发送对应的SRS。同样当第二字段中的前两个比特均设置为1,A/D字段预留,MAC实体忽略,表示SRS资源集组1中包含的两个AP SRS资源集都被激活,当终端设备接收用于触发该组AP SRS资源集的DCI,终端设备发送对应的SRS,此时SRS用于实现2T8R的测量。
如图14所示,网络设备将第一字段设置为10,此时第二字段用于指示SRS资源集组2(即group2)中所包含的AP SRS资源集。第二字段中的4个比特用于指示SRS资源集组2中所包含的4个AP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。当第二字段中的4个比特均设置为1,A/D字段设置为1,表示SRS资源集组2中包含的4个AP SRS资源集都被激活,当终端设备接收用于触发该组AP SRS资源集的DCI,终端设备发送对应的SRS,此时SRS用于实现1T8R的测量。当第二字段中的4个比特均设置为1,A/D字段设置为0,表示SRS资源集组2中包含的4个AP SRS资源集都被去激活,当终端设备接收用于触发该组AP SRS资源集的DCI,终端设备停止发送对应的SRS。同样当第二字段中的前两个比特均设置为1,A/D字段预留,MAC实体忽略,表示SRS资源集组2中包含的4个AP SRS资源集都被激活,当终端设备接收用于触发该组AP SRS资源集的DCI,终端设备发送对应的SRS,此时SRS用于实现1T8R的测量。
如图15所示,网络设备将第一字段设置为10,此时第二字段用于指示SRS资源集组2(即group2)中所包含的AP SRS资源集。第二字段中的4个比特用于指示SRS资源集组2中所包含的4个AP SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。当第二字段中的4个比特中的第一个比特、第二个比特及第四个比特均设置为1,第三个比特设置为0,A/D字段设置为1,表示SRS资源集组2中包含的3个AP SRS资源集被激活,当终端设备接收用于触发该组AP SRS资源集的DCI,终端设备发送对应的AP SRS,此时SRS用于实现1T6R的测量。当第二字段中的4个比特中的第一个比特、第二个比特及第四个比特均设置为1,第三个比特设置为0,A/D字段设置为1,表示SRS资源集组2中包含的3个AP SRS资源集被去激活,当终端设备接收用于触发该组AP SRS资源集的DCI,终端设备停止发送对应的AP SRS。当第二字段中的4个比特中的第一个比特、第二个比特及第四个比特均设置为1,第三个比特设置为0,A/D字段预留,MAC实体忽略,表示SRS资源集组2中包含的3个AP SRS资源集被激活,当终端设备接收用于触发该组AP SRS资源集的DCI,终端设备发送对应的AP SRS,此时SRS用于实现1T6R的测量。
实现四:第一指示信息包括第一字段和第二字段,第一字段的比特状态与第二字段相关联;第一字段用于指示端口数量,第二字段用于指示一个或多个RS资源集的激活/去激活状态,该一个或多个RS资源集包含的SRS资源均由该端口数量的SRS端口组成。
其中,用于确定第一指示信息的MAC CE信令的格式和指示内容,可以如图16所示, 需要注意的是,本实施例只以重新设计SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE为例说明,设计方法同样适用于重新设计其他MAC CE,或者同样适用于单独的MAC CE。此外,图16中只列出了Oct1、Oct2和Oct3,其他Oct的格式及指示内容本申请不做限定。
在图16所示的MAC CE Oct2中,包括第一字段(如图16中N_端口(port))和第二字段(如图16中A 0、A 1、A 2、A 3)。所述第一字段包含两个比特。第一字段用于指示端口数量,所述第二字段用于指示网络设备通过高层信令配置的一个或多个SRS资源集中的激活/去激活状态,该一个或多个RS资源集包含的SRS资源均由该端口数量的SRS端口组成。
其中,在A/D字段为1时,第二字段中某个比特设置为1,可以指示对应的SRS资源集被激活,第二字段中某个比特设置为0,可以指示对应的SRS资源集不被激活(也即状态保持不变)。在A/D字段为0时,第二字段中某个比特设置为1,可以指示对应的SRS资源集被去激活,第二字段中某个比特设置为0,可以指示对应的SRS资源集不被去激活(也即状态保持不变)。在A/D字段被忽略时,如被MAC实体忽略时,第二字段中某个比特设置为1,可以指示对应的SRS资源集被激活,第二字段中某个比特设置为0,可以指示对应的SRS资源集被去激活。网络设备通过高层信令配置的一个或多个SRS资源集中包含的SRS资源均由同一端口数量的SRS端口组成的一个或多个SRS资源集的索引由预定义规则确定,或由高层参数配置,高层参数配置的可以是显式配置的,或者隐式配置的。例如,同一端口数量的SRS端口组成的一个或多个SRS资源集内的SRS资源集的ID(即高层参数srs-ResourceSetId)由小到大依次对应为索引0~3。
需要理解的是,上述第二字段在用于指示多个SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态时,每个比特都可以理解为一个字段,每个字段与一个SRS资源集对应,第二字段是多个字段的集合。
图17为本申请实施例提供的另一种通信方法示意图,该方法包括:
S1701:网络设备向终端设备发送第一指示信息。
第一指示信息用于指示一个或多个SRS资源的激活/去激活状态,其中一个或多个SRS资源的激活/去激活状态为以下中的任意一项:
一个或多个SRS资源中,N个SRS资源被激活,除N个SRS资源之外的M个SRS资源不被激活;
一个或多个SRS资源中,N个SRS资源被激活,除N个SRS资源之外的M个SRS资源被去激活;
一个或多个SRS资源中,N个RS资源被去激活,除N个SRS资源之外的M个SRS资源不被去激活;N、M为自然数;
S1702:终端设备根据所述第一指示信息控制SRS的传输。
在本申请实施例中,网络设备可以通过高层配置信令,如RRC信令等为终端设备配置多个SRS资源集,如为终端设备配置一个或多个SP SRS资源集,或者一个或多个AP SRS资源集,或者一个或多个SP SRS资源集和一个或多个AP SRS资源集。其中一个SP资源集中包括至少一个AP SRS资源、一个SP SRS资源集中包括至少一个SP SRS资源。具体网络设备通过高层配置信令为终端设备配置一个或多个SRS资源集的实现可以参照图6所示的方法实施中的实现不再进行赘述。
对于第一指示信息,终端设备可以根据来自网络设备的LCID的码点或索引为50的 MAC子头(如SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE)或eLCID的码点为248且索引为312的MAC子头(如Enhanced SP/AP SRS Spatial Relation Indication MAC CE)来确定,当然也可以LCID的码点大于255和/或索引大于319的MAC子头,也即其它的MAC CE来确定。其中第一指示信息所指示激活/去激活状态的一个或多个SRS资源包含在一个SRS资源集中,一个SRS资源集的资源类型设置为SP;或,
一个或多个SRS资源包含在一个或多个SRS资源集中,一个或多个SRS资源集的资源类型设置为AP;
一个或多个SRS资源包含在多个SRS资源集中,多个SRS资源集包括资源类型设置为AP的SRS资源集和资源类型设置为SP的SRS资源集。
以第一指示信息根据SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE或Enhanced SP/AP SRS Spatial Relation Indication MAC CE来确定为例,如图4A和4B所示,对于以上两种MAC CE来说,八位字节(octet,Oct)2中包含两个比特的预留比特R,SRS Resource Set ID字段长度为4比特,但由于指示的是SRS资源集的ID,每次只能指示一个SRS资源集。本申请实施例可以针对SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE和Enhanced SP/AP SRS Spatial Relation Indication MAC CE的Oct进行进一步设计,以在不增加这两个MAC CE开销的前提下,实现用于SRS资源集的灵活指示,进而实现灵活天线切换的指示。下面以MCE CE为例,结合不同的对MAC CE设计实现来具体说明。
在一种可能的实施中,第一指示信息中包括L个比特,L个比特中的不同比特与一个或多个SRS资源中的不同SRS资源相关联,所述L个比特中的一个比特用于指示与所述比特关联的SRS资源的激活/去激活状态,其中,L为正整数。
L的值是预定义的或高层配置参数配置的。例如,L是预定义的,例如,L=8。又如,L是高层配置参数配置的,例如,L的值等于高层配置参数中配置的用于天线切换的SRS资源的个数,或者,L的值等于高层配置参数中配置的用于天线切换的AP SRS资源的个数,或者,L的值等于高层配置参数中配置的用于天线切换的SP SRS资源的个数等。
其中,用于确定第一指示信息的MAC CE信令的格式和指示内容,可以如图18所示,需要注意的是,本实施例只以重新设计SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE为例说明,设计方法同样适用于重新设计其他MAC CE,或者同样适用于单独的MAC CE。此外,图8中只列出了Oct1、Oct2和Oct3,其他Oct的格式及指示内容本申请不做限定。
在图18所示的MAC CE Oct2中,包括L个比特(如图18中L 0、L 1、L 2、L 3、L 4、L 5),L个比特可以用bitmap的方式进行指示,即L个比特分别用于指示索引为0、索引为1、索引为2、索引为3、索引为4、索引为5的SRS资源的激活/去激活状态。
其中,在A/D字段为1时,L个比特中某个比特设置为1,可以指示对应的SRS资源被激活,L个比特中某个比特设置为0,可以指示对应的SRS资源不被激活(也即状态保持不变)。在A/D字段为0时,L个比特中某个比特设置为1,可以指示对应的SRS资源被去激活,L个比特中某个比特设置为0,可以指示对应的SRS资源不被去激活(也即状态保持不变)。在A/D字段被忽略时,如被终端设备的MAC实体忽略时,L个比特中某个比特设置为1,可以指示对应的SRS资源被激活,L个比特中某个比特设置为0,可以指示对应的SRS资源被去激活。
网络设备通过高层配置信令向终端设备配置SRS资源集时,在高层配置信令可以包含L个比特与一个或多个SRS资源的关联关系。例如,通过高层配置信令显式指示L个比特 与一个或多个SRS资源的关联关系,或者,通过高层配置信令隐式指示L个比特与一个或多个SRS资源的关联关系。
例如,根据所述SRS资源的SRS资源ID和/或SRS资源所对应的SRS资源集ID为终端设备配置L个比特与所述一个或多个SRS资源的关联关系。
作为一种示例,所述RS资源所对应的RS资源集ID指的是,所述RS资源所在的RS资源集的RS资源集ID。
作为一种示例,可以按照SRS资源所对应的SRS资源集ID升序优先、SRS资源的SRS资源ID升序次之的方式,配置L个比特与所述一个或多个SRS资源的关联关系,也就是说,L个比特中第i个比特关联的RS资源所对应的RS资源集ID小于第i+1个比特关联的SRS资源所对应的SRS资源集ID;或所述L个比特中第i个比特关联的SRS资源的SRS资源ID小于第i+1个比特关联的RS资源的RS资源ID,可选的,该第i个比特关联的SRS资源与该第i+1个比特关联的RS资源包含于同一个RS资源集中,或者,该第i个比特关联的SRS资源与该第i+1个比特关联的RS资源所对应的RS资源集ID相同;其中,1≤i<L,i为整数。即L个比特中的第1个比特(L 0)对应的SRS资源所对应的SRS资源集ID最小且SRS资源的SRS资源ID最小。以网络设备通过高层配置信令向终端设备配置如图19所示的SRS资源集为例,其中SRS Resource Set ID=0的SP SRS资源集中的SRS Resource ID=0的SRS资源对应L个比特中的第1个比特(L 0)、SRS Resource Set ID=0的SP SRS资源集中的SRS Resource ID=1的SP SRS资源对应L个比特中的第2个比特(L 1)、SRS Resource Set ID=1的AP SRS资源集中的SRS Resource ID=0的AP SRS资源对应L个比特中的第3个比特(L 2)、依次类推,直至SRS Resource Set ID=1的AP SRS资源集中的SRS Resource ID=3的AP SRS资源对应L个比特中的第6个比特(L 5)。
作为一种示例,还可以按照SRS资源所对应的SRS资源集ID降序优先、SRS资源的SRS资源ID降序次之的方式配置L个比特与所述一个或多个SRS资源的关联关系,也就是说,L个比特中第i个比特关联的SRS资源所对应的SRS资源集ID大于第i+1个比特关联的SRS资源所对应的SRS资源集ID;或,所述L个比特中第i个比特关联的SRS资源的SRS资源ID大于第i+1个比特关联的SRS资源的SRS资源ID;其中,1≤i<L,i为整数。即L个比特中的第6个比特(L 5)对应的SRS资源所对应的SRS资源集ID最小且SRS资源的SRS资源ID最小。以网络设备通过高层配置信令向终端设备配置如图19所示的SRS资源集为例,其中,SRS Resource Set ID=1的AP SRS资源集中的SRS ResourceID=3的AP SRS资源对应L个比特中的第1个比特(L 0),SRS Resource Set ID=1的AP SRS资源集中的SRS Resource ID=2的AP SRS资源对应L个比特中的第2个比特(L 1)、依次类推,直至SRS Resource Set ID=0的SP SRS资源集中的SRS Resource ID=0的SRS资源对应L个比特中的第6个比特(L 5)。
在一些实施例中,资源类型设置为SP的SRS资源所在的RS资源集的SRS资源集ID小于资源类型设置为AP的SRS资源所在的SRS资源集的SRS资源集ID。即如图19所示,高层参数中,资源类型为半持续的SRS资源集的SRS资源集ID小于资源类型为非周期的SRS资源集的SRS资源集ID。
又例如,根据相同资源类型且相同用例的SRS资源的SRS资源ID为终端设备配置L个比特与所述一个或多个SRS资源的关联关系。
作为一种示例,可以按照用于天线切换的AP SRS资源所对应的SRS资源ID升序的 方式,配置L个比特与所述一个或多个SRS资源的关联关系,也就是说,所述L个比特中第i个比特关联的SRS资源的SRS资源ID小于第i+1个比特关联的RS资源的RS资源ID;其中,1≤i<L,i为整数。即L个比特中的第1个比特(L 0)对应的SRS资源的SRS资源ID最小。以网络设备通过高层配置信令向终端设备配置如图19所示的SRS资源集为例,对AP SRS资源集中的4个AP SRS资源,SRS Resource ID=0的AP SRS资源对应L个比特中的第1个比特(L 0),SRS Resource ID=1的AP SRS资源对应L个比特中的第2个比特(L 1)、依次类推,直至SP SRS资源集中的SRS Resource ID=3的SRS资源对应L个比特中的第4个比特(L 4)。
在一些实施中,L个比特中的前O个比特用于指示资源类型设置为SP的SRS资源的激活/去激活状态,后P个比特用于指示资源类型设置为AP的SRS资源的激活/去激活状态,O、所述P为自然数。以L仍为图18中的6比特为例,在图19的配置下,L比特的前2比特指示SP SRS资源的激活/去激活状态,后4个比特用于指示AP SRS资源的激活/去激活状态。需要理解的是,O与P的和可以与L相等,也可以小于L,在L大于O+P的情况MAC实体忽略L比特的最后L-(O+P)个比特。
在另一种可能的实施中,所述第一指示信息包括第一字段和第二字段,所述第一字段的比特状态与所述第二字段相关联;所述第一字段用于指示端口数量,所述第二字段用于指示所述一个或多个SRS资源集中由端口数量的SRS端口组成的SRS资源的激活/去激活状态。
对于MAC CE信令的格式和指示内容,如图20所示,给出示例性的说明。需要注意的是,本实施例只以重新设计SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE为例说明,设计方法同样适用于重新设计其他MAC CE,或者同样适用于单独的MAC CE。此外,图20中只列出了Oct1、Oct2和Oct3,其他Oct的格式及指示内容本申请不做限定。
如图20所示,在MAC CE Oct2中,可以包括第一字段(如图20中N_port)和第二字段(如图20中A0、A1、A2、A3)。所述第一字段包含两个比特。第一字段用于指示端口数量。
作为一种可能的实现方式,第二字段用于指示由该端口数量的SRS端口组成的AP SRS资源的激活/去激活状态。其中,第二字段的长度可以是预定义的或者高层参数配置的。其中,高层参数配置的可以是显式配置的,或者隐式配置的。
例如,第二字段包含8个比特,第二字段中的8个比特依次用于指示索引为0、索引为1、……、索引为7的由所述端口数量的SRS端口组成的SRS资源的激活/去激活状态。第一字段可以被设置为01,或10,或11,分别表示,第二字段所指示的RS资源由1个,或2个,或4个SRS端口组成。可选的,第一字段被设置为01,对应SRS端口个数为1的SRS资源被激活或者去激活;第一字段被设置为10,对应SRS端口个数为2的SRS资源被激活或者去激活;第一字段被设置为11,对应SRS端口个数为4的SRS资源被激活或者去激活。
另外,第二字段的长度也可以与第一字段指示的端口数量相关,例如第一字段指示的端口数量为1,第二字段的长度为8;第一字段指示的端口数量为2,第二字段的长度为4;第一字段指示的端口数量为2,第二字段的长度为2或3。需要理解的是,这里的第二字段的一个或多个比特与所指示的一个或多个SRS资源的关联关系,可以参照上述L比特与所指示的一个或多个SRS资源的关联关系的实现。例如:第二字段的一个或多个比特与所 述第二比特所指示的一个或多个SRS资源的关联关系,根据SRS资源的SRS资源ID和/或SRS资源所对应的RS资源集ID确定,具体实现参照上述L比特与所指示的一个或多个SRS资源的关联关系的实现,不在重复赘述。
作为一种可能的实现方式,第二字段用于指示一个或多个SRS资源集中,由该端口数的SRS端口组成的AP SRS资源的激活/去激活状态。例如,第二字段包含4个比特。第二字段中的4个比特依次用于指示索引为0、索引为1、索引为2及索引为3的SRS资源集中,由所述端口数量的SRS端口组成的SRS资源的激活/去激活状态。第一字段可以被设置为01,或10,或11,分别表示,第二字段所指示的RS资源集中,由1个,或2个,或4个SRS端口组成的资源的激活/去激活状态。例如,第一字段被设置为01,第二字段中的第1个比特用于指示,索引为0的SRS资源集中的SRS端口个数为1的SRS资源被激活或者去激活;第一字段被设置为10,第二字段中的第1个比特用于指示,索引为0的SRS资源集中的SRS端口个数为2的SRS资源被激活或者去激活;第一字段被设置为11,第二字段中的第1个比特用于指示,索引为0的SRS资源集中的SRS端口个数为4的SRS资源被激活或者去激活。
由于发射端口个数支持1、2、4,需要四种比特状态中的三种比特状态进行指示。四种比特状态中的另一种比特状态可以用于指示第二信息。第二信息可以是以下信息的一项或多项:被指示的SRS资源集的时域行为、被指示的SRS资源集中包含的资源的个数、第二字段指示的内容、被指示的SRS资源所对应的发射端口个数。可选地,当第一字段被设置为00,所述MAC CE与原有(R15/R16)中的SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE功能完全相同。
也就是说,第一字段被设置为00,第二字段为SP SRS Resource Set ID字段,字段长度为4比特,用于指示被激活或去激活的SP SRS资源集ID,该资源集ID由高层参数SRS-ResourceSetId配置。第一字段被设置为01,第二字段中的第一个比特、第二个比特、第三个比特及第四个比特依次用于指示索引为0、索引为1、索引为2及索引为3的SRS资源集中,由1个SRS端口组成的SRS资源被激活/去激活状态;当第一字段被设置为10或11,第二字段中的第一个比特、第二个比特、第三个比特及第四个比特依次用于指示索引为0、索引为1、索引为2及索引为3的SRS资源集中,由2个或4个SRS端口组成的SRS资源被激活/去激活状态;
多个SRS资源集的索引由预定义规则确定,或由高层信息指示。例如,SRS资源集的ID(即高层参数srs-ResourceSetId)由小到大依次对应为索引0~3。
下面给出一个具体实例,以说明本申请实施例。
如图21所示,UE上报能力supportedSRS-TxPortSwitch的值为't1r6-t1r8-t2r8',基站通过RRC配置3个AP SRS资源集。其中,第一个和第二个AP SRS资源集包含4个SRS资源,其中两个SRS资源由1个SRS端口组成,另外两个SRS资源由2个SRS端口组成。第三个AP SRS资源集包含4个SRS资源,其中每个SRS资源由1个SRS端口组成。所述3个SRS资源集中,srs-ResourceSetId由小到大依次为set0、set1、set2,即srs-ResourceSetId由小到大依次为索引为0、索引为1、索引为2的AP SRS资源集。
如图22所示,网络设备将第一字段设置为10,指示被激活的SRS资源包含的SRS端口个数为2。第二字段中的前三个比特用于指示3个AP SRS资源集中由2个SRS端口组成的SRS资源的激活/去激活状态。第二字段中的前两个比特均设置为1,A/D字段设置为 1,表示索引为0和索引为1的AP SRS资源集中,由2个SRS端口组成的SRS资源被激活。当终端设备接收用于触发该组AP SRS资源集的DCI,终端设备发送对应的AP SRS,此时SRS用于实现2T8R的测量。当第二字段中的前两个比特均设置为1,A/D字段设置为0,表示索引为0和索引为1的AP SRS资源集中,由2个SRS端口组成的SRS资源被去激活。当终端设备接收用于触发该组AP SRS资源集的DCI,终端设备停止发送对应的AP SRS。当第二字段中的前两个比特均设置为1,A/D字段被终端设备的MAC实体忽略,表示索引为0和索引为1的AP SRS资源集中,由2个SRS端口组成的SRS资源被激活,索引为2的AP SRS资源集中,由2个SRS端口组成的SRS资源被去激活。当终端设备接收用于触发该组AP SRS资源集的DCI,终端设备发送激活的SRS资源对应的AP SRS。
如图23所示,网络设备将第一字段设置为01,指示被激活的SRS资源包含的SRS端口个数为1。第二字段中的前三个比特用于指示3个AP SRS资源集中由所述端口数量的SRS端口组成的SRS资源的激活/去激活状态。第二字段中的前3个比特均设置为1,A/D字段设置为1,表示索引为0、索引为1和索引2的AP SRS资源集中,由1个SRS端口组成的SRS资源被激活。当终端设备接收用于触发该组AP SRS资源集的DCI,终端设备发送对应的AP SRS,此时SRS用于实现1T6R的测量。当第二字段中的前3个比特均设置为1,A/D字段设置为0,表示索引为0、索引为1和索引为2的AP SRS资源集中,由1个SRS端口组成的SRS资源被去激活。当终端设备接收用于触发该组AP SRS资源集的DCI,终端设备停止发送对应的AP SRS。
需要理解的是,对于AP SRS资源或AP SRS资源集被激活和/或触发后,从技术上来说只发一次,不需要去激活。因此在指示AP SRS资源或AP SRS资源集的激活/或去激活时,A/D字段为0时会被终端设备的MAC实体忽略。
如图24所示,网络设备将第一字段设置为01,指示被激活的SRS资源包含的SRS端口个数为1。第二字段中的前三个比特用于指示3个AP SRS资源集中由所述端口数量的RS端口组成的RS资源的激活/去激活状态。第二字段的比特状态为1010,A/D字段设置为1,表示索引为0和索引2的AP SRS资源集中,由1个SRS端口组成的SRS资源被激活。当终端设备接收用于触发该组AP SRS资源集的DCI,终端设备发送对应的AP SRS,此时SRS用于实现1T4R的测量。可选的,A/D字段设置为0,MAC实体忽略该字段。可选的,A/D字段设置为0表示索引为0和索引为2的AP SRS资源集中,由1个SRS端口组成的SRS资源被去激活。当终端设备接收用于触发该组AP SRS资源集的DCI,终端设备停止发送对应的AP SRS。A/D字段被终端设备的MAC实体忽略,表示索引为0和索引为2的AP SRS资源集中,由1个SRS端口组成的SRS资源被激活,索引为1的AP SRS资源集中,由1个SRS端口组成的SRS资源被去激活。当终端设备接收用于触发该组AP SRS资源集的DCI,终端设备发送激活的SRS资源对应的AP SRS,并停止发送被去激活SRS资源对应的AP SRS。
在一些可能的实施中,第一指示信息包括天线切换指令,所述天线切换指令可以承载在第一指示信息中包括的第一字段中,用于指示一个或多个SRS资源的激活/去激活状态,或者,用于指示一个或多个SRS资源集的激活/去激活状态。
作为一种示例,网络设备通过高层信令为终端设备配置两套SRS资源,其中每套SRS资源中可以包括一个或多个SRS资源,每套SRS资源中可以一个或多个SRS资源可以包含在一个SRS资源集中,也可以包含在多个SRS资源集中。网络设备可以通过第一指示 信息中的切换指令指示终端设备在两套SRS资源之间切换。例如终端设备当前已激活第一套SRS资源中包括的一个或多个SRS资源,发送第一套SRS资源中包括的一个或多个SRS资源对应的SRS,终端设备接收到第一指示信息后,将第二套SRS资源中包括的一个或多个SRS资源激活,发送第二套SRS资源中包括的一个或多个SRS资源对应的SRS。该SRS资源的资源类型可以是非周期的,也可以是半持续的。
在一些可能的实施中,第一指示信息包括端口数量和/或资源数量的指示,所述端口数量和/或资源数量可以承载在第一指示信息中包括的第一字段中,也可以承载在第一指示信息中包括的第一字段和第二字段中,用于指示一个或多个SRS资源的激活/去激活状态。
作为一种示例,网络设备可以通过高层信令等为终端设备配置多套SRS资源,每套SRS资源中的SRS资源均由同一数量的SRS端口组成。网络设备可以通过第一指示信息中的天线数量指示终端设备在多套SRS资源之间切换。或者,网络设备可以通过第一指示信息中的资源数量指示终端设备在多套SRS资源之间切换。例如网络设备为终端设备配置了三套SRS资源,分别对应天线数量1、2、4,终端设备当前已激活第一套SRS资源中包括的一个或多个SRS资源,发送第一套SRS资源中包括的一个或多个SRS资源对应的SRS,终端设备接收到第一指示信息后,第一指示信息中携带天线数量为2的信息,则终端设备将第一套SRS资源中包括的一个或多个SRS资源去激活,将与天线数量2对应的第二套SRS资源中包括的一个或多个SRS资源激活,发送第二套SRS资源中包括的一个或多个SRS资源对应的SRS。
作为一种示例,网络设备可以通过高层信令等为终端设备配置多套SRS资源,每套SRS资源中的SRS资源均由同一数量的SRS端口组成。网络设备可以通过第一指示信息中的天线数量指示被激活的SRS资源或SRS资源集的个数,可选的,对应于第一指示信息中指示的天线数量,被激活的SRS资源或SRS资源集,根据预定义规则确定或由高层信令指示。SRS资源或SRS资源集根据预定义规则确定,例如,优先激活SRS资源集ID小的SRS资源集,或者,优先激活SRS资源ID小的SRS资源集,或者,优先激活SRS资源集ID大的SRS资源集,或者,优先激活SRS资源ID大的SRS资源集。
作为一种示例,网络设备可以通过高层信令等为终端设备配置多套SRS资源,网络设备可以通过第一指示信息中的端口数量指示被激活的SRS资源或SRS资源集。可选的,每套SRS资源中的SRS资源均由同一数量的SRS端口组成。可选的,每套SRS资源中的SRS资源由不同数量的SRS端口组成。例如,第一指示信息指示的端口数量为1,则由1个SRS端口组成的资源被激活,或者,由1个SRS端口组成的资源所在的资源集被激活。
在一种可能的实现中,同一数量的SRS端口组成的SRS资源对应的功控一致。
对于MAC CE信令的格式和指示内容,如图25所示,给出示例性的说明。需要注意的是,本实施例只以重新设计SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE为例说明,设计方法同样适用于重新设计其他MAC CE,或者同样适用于单独的MAC CE。此外,图25中只列出了Oct1、Oct2和Oct3,其他Oct的格式及指示内容与现有保持一致,或者不保持一致。
如图25所示,在MAC CE Oct2中,可以包括第一字段(如图25中N)。第一字段可以为2比特,在承载切换指令时,可以通过00指示切换、通过01、10、11等指示不切换,或通过01指示切换、通过00指示不切换等。或者,第一字段可以为1比特,在承载切换指令时,可以通过状态值1指示切换、通过状态值0指示不切换等。
在端口数量时,可以通过01指示端口数量为1、通过10指示端口数量为2、通过11指示端口数量为4等。
在另一些实施中,对于AP SRS,根据预定义规则或高层配置参数和DCI的指示信息确定被激活的SRS资源或SRS资源集。或者说,可以通过DCI(如用于触发SRS资源集或SRS资源的DCI)来指示一个或多个SRS资源的激活/去激活。或者说,通过预定义规则或高层配置参数确定激活的SRS资源或SRS资源集。
作为一种示例,网络设备可以通过高层信令等为终端设备配置一个或多个SRS资源,所述一个或多个SRS资源可以位于一个SRS资源集中,也可以位于多个SRS资源集中。终端设备接收第一指示信息时,一个或多个AP SRS资源或一个AP SRS资源集被激活,终端设备接收DCI,该DCI触发该一个或多个AP SRS资源或一个AP SRS资源集中的全部或部分,终端设备发送被触发的SRS资源对应的AP SRS;终端设备未接收第一指示信息时,终端设备接收DCI,该DCI触发一个或多个AP SRS资源或一个AP SRS资源集中的全部或部分,上述一个或多个AP SRS资源或一个AP SRS资源集根据预定义规则或高层配置参数确定。例如,上述一个或多个AP SRS资源或一个AP SRS资源集根据预定义规则确定,指的是,上述一个或多个AP SRS资源或一个AP SRS资源集为网络设备通过高层信令配置的全部用于天线切换的资源集,或者,上述一个或多个AP SRS资源或一个AP SRS资源集为网络设备通过高层信令配置的用于天线切换的资源集中的A个。A是自然数。A是预定义的,例如,A=1。或者,A是高层参数配置的。例如高层信令配置了3个SRS资源集,3个SRS资源集的用例配置为天线切换,3个SRS资源集对应的aperiodicSRS-ResourceTrigger或aperiodicSRS-ResourceTriggerList为1,终端设备接收DCI,该DCI的SRS请求字段状态值为01,A=1表示3个SRS资源集中,SRS资源集ID最小的一个资源集被触发。
