  • the frame rate is generally 30fps, but for some violently changing screens, 60fps is generally required.
  • XR services may arrive earlier than the expected arrival time, or may arrive later than the expected arrival time. This phenomenon can be called jitter.

And the jitter value usually has a certain range, for example, in the 3GPP evaluation model, the jitter range of the video frame is [-4ms, 4ms].

  • the XR service can adopt a semi-static scheduling method. For example, for the 60fps XR service, resources with a period of 16.67ms can be allocated to the XR service. This scheduling method can save signaling overhead. However, due to jitter in the arrival of XR services, if resources are allocated according to the expected arrival period of XR services, if the XR services arrive much earlier than the expected arrival time, you need to wait for a period of time until halfway.

  • the scheduled node when using dynamic scheduling to schedule XR services, does not know whether there is a signaling sent to itself in each transmission interval, so it is necessary to monitor the PDCCH at any time to obtain the physical layer control signaling sent to itself. If the scheduled node does not successfully detect the PDCCH, it is considered that the scheduling node has not sent control signaling to itself. If the PDCCH is successfully detected, the required communication resources and transmission methods are determined according to the content indicated by the PDCCH signaling. This process It is called the PDCCH blind detection process.
  • the total number of bits of control signaling can be as high as dozens to hundreds of bits, and XR services are relatively dense. If the network equipment sends physical layer control signaling every time the XR service is transmitted, The scheduling node uses too many resources for transmitting the physical layer control signaling, which reduces the resources of the scheduling node for data transmission and reduces the efficiency. Moreover, the scheduled node needs to perform PDCCH blind detection according to the PDCCH signaling size of tens to hundreds of bits each time. The larger the PDCCH signaling size, the higher the power consumption of the scheduled node for PDCCH blind detection.

Description

资源指示方法和通信装置
本申请要求于2021年09月02日提交中国专利局、申请号为202111028825.0、申请名称为“资源指示方法和通信装置”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
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种资源指示方法和通信装置。
背景技术
调度节点和被调度节点之间的数据传输方式通常分为半静态调度(semi persistent scheduling,SPS)(也称为配置调度(configured grant,CG)))和动态调度(dynamic grant,DG)。其中,SPS的配置方式为:发送一次资源分配信令后,在一定时间内按照分配的资源进行数据传输,不需要再发送新的资源分配信令,信令冗余比较低。DG的配置方式为:每次数据传输都需要发送资源分配信令,信令冗余比较高。
调度节点和被调度节点之间的传输数据如果采用上述SPS(CG)方式进行数据传输,则需要等待预定义的时间达到后才能够传输,增加了数据传输时延,而且每次传输采用的资源不变,降低了调度灵活性。为了降低传输时延,提升调度灵活性,调度节点和被调度节点之间的传输数据可以采用上述DG方式进行数据传输,但这种方式所需要的控制信令的比特数比较大,一般可以达到几十到几百比特,这种调度方式不仅增加了控制信令的冗余,降低了网络传输效率,而且频繁的、大的控制信道的盲检也会导致被调度节点的功耗过高。

在无线通信系统中,为了合理分配无线资源,满足各个通信节点的需求,通常由调度节点负责确定无线资源的分配情况,并将资源分配结果通知被调度节点,被调度节点按照所分配的资源进行通信。无线资源的分配包括时域、频域、空域、码域、轨道角动量域中的一个或者多个的组合。根据无线资源分配的快慢,无线资源调度包括动态调度和半静态调度两种。在动态调度时,调度节点每个传输时间间隔(传输间隔可以是一个或多个调度单元,调度单元可以是一个或多个符号,一个或多个时隙,一个或多个子帧,一个或多个帧,一个或多个超帧,或者是从几微秒到几毫秒到几十毫秒甚至几秒)确定被调度节点使用的无线资源,调度节点通过物理层控制信令通知被调度节点其要使用的无线资源。在半静态调度时,调度节点通过高层控制信令如无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令通知被调度节点要使用的资源,该资源一旦分配并激活使用,则一直按照高层信令所指示的方式被使用,除非通过高层信令重新配置。
示例性地,动态调度时无线资源分配承载在物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)中,半静态调度时无线资源分配承载在无线资源控制RRC信令中。动态调度由于每次资源分配都需要发送物理层控制信令,故信令冗余(overhead)比较高,半静态调度则发送一次资源分配信令后,在一定时间内按照所分配的资源使用资源, 不需要再发送信令,故信令冗余比较低。动态调度可以在每个传输时间间隔进行调度调整,具有更高的灵活性,因此对于一些突发业务通常采用动态调度,例如,网页浏览业务。半静态调度由于较长时间内都不进行调度调整,因此常用于周期性业务,例如,语音业务。5G系统中,对于下行半静态调度,采用SPS,对于上行半静态调度,也称为CG,或者无调度(grant free)。
示例性地,一些3D视觉交互系统,如虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)、混合现实(mixed reality,MR)和云游戏(cloud gaming)等应用场景(VR/AR/MR/云优秀等统称为扩展现实(extended reality,XR))的业务在信源产生的时候,具有一定的周期特性,即XR业务是按照一定的帧率,周期性传输的视频传输业务。其中,帧率是指视频每秒包含的帧数,单位为帧每秒(frame per second,fps),周期为帧率的倒数。可以理解的是,视频帧率一般最低设置为24fps,当帧率低于24fps时,人眼会感觉到明显的卡顿。对于画面变化比较慢的视频,帧率一般为30fps,但是对于一些剧烈变化的画面一般需要60fps。目前,在XR业务中常见的帧率配置为30fps,60fps,90fps,120fps。以60fps的帧率为例,视频帧的周期为1/60=16.67ms。但由于渲染,信源编码,路由路径选择等因素,XR业务可能相对于预期的到达时刻提前到来,也可能相对于预期的到达时刻延迟到来,这种现象可以称之为抖动。抖动的取值在数学统计上服从特定的概率分布,其中概率分布可以为高斯分布或截断高斯分布,还可以为指数分布,还可以泊松分布,还可以为其他统计分布。且抖动值通常具有一定的范围,例如3GPP评估模型中,视频帧的抖动范围为[-4ms,4ms]。
结合上面的例子,XR业务应用层的数据传输所需的资源比较大,XR业务数据包的平均速率可以达到30百万比特每秒(Mbps),45Mbps甚至到60Mbps。以30Mbps,60fps帧率为例,每个视频帧的平均包大小为62500byte,数据包大小也服从一定的概率分布,例如在3GPP评估模型中,认为XR业务的标准差为平均包大小乘以10.5%也就是6563byte,包最大为平均包大小乘以150%也就是93750byte,最小为平均包大小乘以50%也就是31250byte,即平均包大小的一半。为了满足用户极致流畅的体验要求,XR业务对数据包的速率和时延极其敏感。典型的VR/AR的业务类型,数据包时延预算(packet delay budget,PDB)为10ms,其中,PDB为数据包或视频帧从到达调度节点开始,到被调度节点成功接收的时间阈值。
由于XR业务的具有一定的周期特性,因此XR业务可以采用半静态调度的方式,例如对于60fps的XR业务,可以分配周期为16.67ms的资源给XR业务。这种调度方式可以节省信令overhead,但是,由于XR业务到达存在抖动,因此,如果按照XR业务期望到达的周期分配资源,如果XR业务比期望达到时间早太多,则需要等待一段时间直到半静态调度所分配的无线资源才能传输数据;如果XR业务比期望到达的时间晚时,已经错过了半静态调度所分配的无线资源,则对应于该业务的半静态调度分配的无线资源没有使用被浪费,而晚到的数据只能推迟到半静态调度的下一个XR的无线资源上传输,增加了XR业务的时延,而且即使是之后XR业务早于预期时间到达,但由于其对应的无线资源要用于传输之前晚到的数据,会导致当前XR业务也推迟到下一个XR对应的无线资源上传输。
在一些实施例中,为了避免半静态调度造成XR业务数据传输时延增加的问题,采用动态调度的方式调度XR业务。动态调度需要每次都将所分配的资源通过物理层控制信号 传输下来,这些控制信令包括:用于指示无线资源信息的信令,如部分带宽标识、频域资源、VRB到PRB映射方式、时域资源标识、PRB捆绑大小标识、速率匹配标识;用于指示调制编码方式的信令,如调制编码方式、新数据表述、冗余版本;与HARQ相关的信令,如HARQ进程号、下行分配索引;与多天线相关的信令等等。而且在采用动态调度的方式调度XR业务时,被调度节点并不清楚每个传输间隔是否有发送给自己的信令,故需要随时进行PDCCH的监测以获取发送给自己的物理层控制信令,如果被调度节点没有成功检测到PDCCH,则认为调度节点没有发送控制信令给自己,如果成功检测到PDCCH,则按照PDCCH信令所指示的内容确定所需要通信的资源和传输的方式,这个过程称为PDCCH盲检测过程。
综上可知,动态调度XR业务时,控制信令总的比特数可以高达几十比特到上百比特,而XR业务又比较密集,每次XR业务传输网络设备均发送物理层控制信令的话,调度节点用于传输物理层控制信令的资源过多,造成调度节点用于传输数据的资源减少,效率降低。而且,被调度节点每次要按照几十到上百比特的PDCCH信令大小去进行PDCCH盲检测,PDCCH信令大小越大,被调度节点花在PDCCH盲检测上的功耗也越高。
有鉴于此,本申请实施例提供了一种资源指示方法和通信装置,终端设备接收网络设备在第一搜索空间的监测周期发送的第一指示信息,由于第一搜索空间的监测周期大于第二搜索空间的监测周期,避免在第二搜索空间重复发送频率资源,造成调度信令传输冗余度高的问题。采用本申请的方案,可以减少频域资源信息的接收次数,从而减少调度信令传输冗余度,提高网络的传输效率,降低终端设备的功耗,终端设备通过接收网络设备在第二搜索空间的监测周期发送的第二指示信息,相对于半静态调度而言,可以在数据到在达时,及时触发数据传输,降低传输数据的等待时延。
在介绍本申请提供的资源指示方法之前,先做出以下几点说明。
第一,在本文示出的实施例中,各术语及英文缩略语,如搜索空间、监测周期或物理层信令等,均为方便描述而给出的示例性举例,不应对本申请构成任何限定。本申请并不排除在已有或未来的协议中定义其它能够实现相同或相似功能的术语的可能。
第二,在下文示出的实施例中第一、第二以及各种数字编号仅为描述方便进行的区分,并不用来限制本申请实施例的范围。例如,区分不同的指示信息、区分不同的搜索空间。需要说明的是,本申请实施例使用“第一”、“第二”等序数词是用于对多个对象进行区分,不用于限定多个对象的顺序、时序、优先级或重要程度。
第三,本申请实施例中涉及的“协议”可以是指通信领域的标准协议,例如可以包括LTE协议、NR协议以及应用于未来的通信系统中的相关协议,本申请对此不作限定。
第四,“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”,描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B的情况,其中A,B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达,是指的这些项中的任意组合,包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如,a、b和c中的至少一项(个),可以表示:a,或b,或c,或a和b,或a和c,或b和c,或a、b和c,其中a,b,c可以是单个,也可以是多个。
下面结合图2,对本申请实施例提供的资源指示方法200进行详细说明。该方法200 可以应用于图1所示的通信系统100,但本申请实施例不限于此。在图2中是以调度节点为网络设备、被调度节点为终端设备作为该交互示意的执行主体为例来示意该方法,但本申请并不限制该交互示意的执行主体。
图2示出了本申请实施例提供的一种资源指示方法200,如图2所示,该方法200可以包括以下步骤:
S201,网络设备在第一搜索空间发送第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示第一数据的频域资源。相应地,终端设备在第一搜索空间监测并接收第一指示信息。
上述第一指示信息可以通过物理层信令传输,或者第一指示信息中的一部分信息通过高层信令传输,一部分通过物理层信令传输。可以理解的是,第一指示信息中通过高层信令传输的一部分信息和通过物理层信令传输的一部分信息之和可以是第一指示信息,也可以是第一指示信息中的部分信息,本申请对此不作限定。
按照3GPP规定,物理层控制信令通过在物理下行控制信道候选搜索空间(physical downlink control channel search space candidate)发送。可以理解的是,当第一指示信息中存在通过高层信令传输的部分信息时,网络设备不需要在搜索空间发送第一指示信息中的这部分信息(通过高层信令传输的部分信息)。
示例性地,上述第一指示信息通过物理层信令传输时,可以通过采用特定的下行控制信息格式来表示,或者采用特定无线网络临时标识(radio network tempory identity,RNTI)加扰来表示。
本申请实施例中的第一数据是指网络设备发送给终端设备的下行数据,也可以称为传输数据。
S202,网络设备在第二搜索空间发送第二指示信息,该第二指示信息用于指示第一数据的起始传输时间,相应地,终端设备在第二搜索空间监测并接收该第二指示信息。
上述第一搜索空间的监测周期大于上述第二搜索空间的监测周期。应理解,第一指示信息采用高层信令承载时,第一指示信息的更新时间大于第二搜索空间的监测周期。
示例性地,网络设备在n时隙发送第二指示信息,表示从时隙n+K开始的M个时隙、第一指示信息所指示的频域资源,用于第一数据的传输。其中,K可以在第一指示信息中指示,或者按照预定义的规则确定,或者在第二指示信息中指示。M表示传输数据的时域资源大小,M可以以时隙为单位,或者以子帧为单位,或以微时隙(mini-slot)为单位,或以子时隙(sub-slot)为单位,或者以符号为单位。本申请实施例以M的单位为时隙为例进行示例性说明。M可以在第一指示信息中指示,或者在第二指示信息中指示。本申请实施例中n和K均为大于等于0的整数,M为大于0的整数。
示例性地,第二指示信息可以用于指示不使用或不激活第一指示信息指示的频域资源用于数据传输;或者,网络设备没有发送第二指示信息,则表示不激活或者不使用第一指示信息所指示的频域资源用于数据传输。
应理解,本申请实施例中第一搜索空间的监测时长小于第二搜索空间的监测时长。
S203,网络设备根据频域资源和起始传输时间,向终端设备发送第一数据。相应地,终端设备根据频域资源和起始传输时间,接收来自网络设备的第一数据。
网络设备和终端设备根据第二指示信息指示的起始传输时间,确定激活第一指示信息指示的频域资源生效的时域起始位置,从而确定承载数据的时频资源,使得网络设备可以 在确定的时频资源上发送下行数据,终端设备可以在确定的时频资源上接收下行数据。
可以理解的是,第一指示信息和第二指示信息所指示的时频资源仅用于数据的初始传输,如果终端设备检测到数据发生错误,则发送否定应答(non-acknowledgment,NACK)信号给网络设备,网络设备在接收到NACK后,可以启动重传。示例性地,调度重传的信令可以采用与第一指示信息和第二指示信息不同的第三指示信息,且重传数据所采用的频域资源不限于第一指示信息指示的频域资源。
本申请实施例中,终端设备接收网络设备在第一搜索空间的监测周期发送的第一指示信息,由于第一搜索空间的监测周期大于第二搜索空间的监测周期,避免在第二搜索空间重复发送频率资源,造成调度信令传输冗余度高的问题。采用本申请的方案,可以减少频域资源信息的接收次数,从而减少调度信令传输冗余度,提高网络的传输效率,降低终端设备的功耗,终端设备通过接收网络设备在第二搜索空间的监测周期发送的第二指示信息,相对于半静态调度而言,可以在数据到在达时,及时触发数据传输,降低传输数据的等待时延。
示例性地,网络设备可以根据与终端设备通信的数据包的大小、与终端设备之间的信道状态信息、网络设备的服务负载情况等信息中的一个或多个信息,确定分配给终端设备包括频域资源在内的无线资源。
进一步地,网络设备获得与终端设备通信的业务的平均包大小N average、最大包大小N max、最小包N min大小之间的一个。网络设备获得与该终端设备之间的无线信道状态,确定与该终端设备通信的调制编码方式(modulation and coding scheme,MCS),根据MCS确定频谱效率因子(spectral efficiency,SE),SE为调制阶数与码率之积。网络设备根据当前网络设备的服务负载情况,确定周期服务因子f。如果网络设备处于轻载状态,则f可以取比较大的值,使得f·N average接近于或等于最大包大小;如果网络设备处于重载情况,则f可以取为1。据此,网络设备可以确定分配给该终端设备的资源单元(resource element,RE)约为f·N average/SE,再考虑网络设备发送的各种导频信号(例如,解调参考信号、信道状态信息参考信号等)、系统广播信号(例如,同步信号块(synchronization signal block,SSB)),以及当前的带宽信息,最终确定分配给终端设备的频域资源。
应理解,本申请实施例中的第一指示信息还可以包括下列信息中的至少一个:载波标识、带宽部分标识、冗余版本、新数据标识、HARQ进程号、下行分配索引、PUCCH资源标识、PUCCH的传输功率命令、PDSCH HARQ反馈定时标识、VRB到PRB映射方式、PRB绑定大小标识、速率匹配标识、触发ZP CSI-RS、天线端口、传输配置标识、SRS请求、DMRS序列初始化。
作为一个可选的实施例,上述第一指示信息还用于指示下列信息中的至少一种:第一数据的调制编码方式,或第一数据的时域资源的大小;或者,上述第二指示信息还用于指示下列信息中的至少一种:第一数据的调制编码方式,或第一数据的时域资源的大小。
示例性地,第一指示信息还可以用于指示第一数据的调制编码方式和第一数据的时域资源的大小;或者,第一指示信息还可以用于指示第一数据的调制编码方式,第二指示信息还用于指示第一数据的时域资源的大小;或者,第一指示信息还可以用于指示第一数据的时域资源的大小,第二指示信息还用于指示第一数据的调制编码方式;或者,第二指示信息还可以用于指示第一数据的调制编码方式和第一数据的时域资源的大小。
本申请实施例中,采用第一指示信息指示调制编码方式或第一数据的时域资源的大小的方案,由于第一搜索空间的监测周期大于第二搜索空间的监测周期,可以避免在第二搜索空间发送该信令,造成调度信令传输冗余度高的问题。采用第二指示信息指示调制编码方式或第一数据的时域资源的大小的方案,网络设备可以在数据传输前,可以根据待传输数据当时信道条件、数据包大小中的至少一个因素,确定数据的调制编码方式或数据时域资源大小。例如在信道条件好时,或者数据包短时,可以采用更高频谱效率的调制编码方式或者采用更小的数据时域资源,从而达到提升系统效率的目的。
示例性地,可以根据预定义的规则或者由网络设备配置,来确定第一数据的调制编码方式和第一数据的时域资源大小是在第一指示信息中指示还是在第二指示信息中指示。如在XR业务应用场景中,XR业务一般用在静止或者低速移动场景,XR业务中的视频帧I帧大小要比P帧/B帧包更大,可以约定数据的调制编码方式在第一指示信息中指示,数据的时域资源大小在第二指示信息中指示。再例如,网络设备根据数据包大小、信道环境、网络负载中的至少一个因素确定数据的调制编码方式和数据的时域资源大小在第一指示信息中指示或在第二指示信息中指示。例如信道变化比较慢,如网络设备和终端设备通信场景为静止或者低速移动场景,则数据的调制编码方式可以在第一指示信息中指示。如果信道变化比较快,且当前网络设备负载比较重,则数据的调制编码方式在第二信息中指示。再例如,如果数据包大小变化较小,则数据时域资源大小在第一指示信息中指示,如果数据包变化比较大,则数据时域资源大小在第二指示信息中指示。
可以理解的是,在第二指示信息中指示的信息,在第一指示信息中可以不指示;或者,在第一指示信息中指示的信息,在第二指示信息中可以不指示。还应理解,若传输数据所需要的信息在第一指示信息和第二指示信息中均没有指示,则可以采用缺省值。示例性地,在网络设备发送的指示信息没有指示传输数据的时域资源大小M时,则默认用于传输数据的时域资源大小为1时隙。在网络设备发送的指示信息没有指示传输数据的传输块的个数,则默认数据传输的传输块的个数为1。结合上面的例子,在指示信息指示第一数据的时域资源的大小时,如果待传输的数据包比较大、信道条件比较差时,网络设备可以确定用于该终端设备的数据传输的时域资源大小大于1时隙,即M大于1。如果待传输的数据包比较小、信道条件比较好时,网络设备可以确定用于该终端设备的数据传输的时域资源大小为1时隙即M=1,或者网络设备可以确定用于该终端设备的数据传输的时域资源大小小于1时隙,此时M的单位可以为符号,如M=7符号。
在网络设备发送的指示信息,指示第一数据的时域资源的大小时,此时网络设备还可以确定在所指示的时域资源内,传输块(transport block,TB)的数量,传输块的数量可以小于等于传输时隙(假设传输时间间隔为时隙,即M的单位为时隙),或者传输块的数量可以大于等于传输时隙。在信道条件差时,采用多个时隙传输一个传输块可以获得更好的接收性能,在信道条件比较好时,采用一个时隙传输多个传输块可以获得更高的吞吐量。示例性地,网络设备确定用于数据传输的时域资源大小为M时隙,TB的个数L=k*M,其中,k(k为大于0的整数)的取值可以为1,表示每个时隙传输一个传输块。k的取值为2,表示一个时隙传输2个传输块。k取值为1/M,表示M个时隙传输1个传输块。k取值为2/M,表示M个时隙传输2个传输块。
本申请实施例中,为了进一步降低终端设备的功耗,传输第二指示信息的结束时间和 传输第二指示信息的数据之间至少要大于等于时间G,这个时间可以根据终端设备的处理能力来确定,例如这个时间可以是N1符号,其中N1为终端设备的PDSCH处理时间,或者为约定的值,例如约定为对子载波间隔为15KHz,G=1.5 OFDM符号;对于30KHz子载波间隔,G为3 OFDM符号,对于60KHz子载波间隔,G=6 OFDM符号等。另一方面,为了降低数据传输时延,则可以排除该限定,例如可以直接让G=0,或者第二指示信息指示的传输数据的开始时间与第二指示信息的时域资源重叠。
示例性地,在第一指示信息或第二指示信息指示K或M的取值时,可以直接用二进制数来表示,例如,可以用00表示K=0,用01表示K=1,用10表示K=2,用11表示K=3,再例如,用00表示M=1,用01表示M=2,用10表示M=3,用11表示M=4。还可以选择M的取值的离散值以用较少的比特表示较大的范围,降低承载K或M所需的比特数,节省信令传输冗余,例如用00表示M=1,用01表示M=2,用10表示M=4,用11表示M=8。还可以通过表格索引号来指示M和K的值,例如在现有的时域资源分配(Time domain resource allocation,TDRA)表格中增加一列或者两列用于表示K或M或K和M的取值,通过在第一指示信息或者第二指示信息中指示TDRA表格的序号来指示K的取值或M的取值或K和M的取值。
作为一个可选的实施例,该第二指示信息采用序列或者物理下行控制信道承载。
本申请实施例中,采用序列来承载第二指示信息,可以获得更好的传输可靠性。
示例性地,第二指示信息采用序列承载时,终端设备检测到对应的序列,则认为发送了第二指示信息,会按照对应的规则确定K的取值,K的取值方式可参照上述相关描述,此处不再赘述。相应地,终端设备没有检测到对应的序列,则认为没有发送第二信令。第二指示信息采用PDCCH承载时,终端设备检测到对应的PDCCH时,则认为发送了第二指示信息,会按照对应的规则确定K的取值,K的取值方式可参照上述相关描述,此处不再赘述。相应地,终端设备没有检测到对应的PDCCH,则认为没有发送第二信令。
示例性地,上述序列可以是ZC序列、Gold序列、M序列、Walsh序列或其他随机序列、正交序列等。
示例性地,采用与DMRS相同或相似的序列(Gold序列)表示第二指示信息。示例性地,网络设备采用与参考信号相同或相似的序列承载第二指示信息。
DMRS采用的序列为3GPP协议TS 38.211 V 16.6.0 7.4.1.1.1所采用的序列。根据该协议,DMRS序列的初值c init满足如下公式:

示例性地,承载第二指示信息的序列的初值c init满足如下公式:

本申请实施例采用DMRS序列承载第二指示信息,可配置DRMS序列的频域资源与第一指示信息所指示的频域资源一致,则第二指示信息在指示数据传输的起始位置的同时,还可以用于数据信道的解调,提升了解调性能,同时减少了传输数据时的DMRS,降低了系统传输冗余。
示例性地,本申请实施例为避免第二指示信息与终端设备的正常数据传输的DMRS冲突,还可以配置传输第二指示信息的时域资源与传输数据的DMRS的时域资源不同。示例性地,正常DMRS符号一般不会位于符号13,因此可以将第二指示信息配置在符号13,符号13位于时隙的最后一个符号,这种配置方式可以减少对第二指示信息所在时隙的调度影响。
图3示出了本申请实施例提供的一种承载第二指示信息序列的资源配置方式。如图3所示,第一个黑色长方形阴影区域承载第二指示信息,斜线阴影长方形区域表示用于终端设备传输数据块的时频资源,第二个黑色长方形阴影区域发送该数据块的DMRS。
图4示出了本申请实施例提供的另一种承载第二指示信息序列的资源配置方式。如图4所示,区域1和区域2均为配置为承载第二指示信息序列的频域资源,网络设备在确定发送第二指示信息时,可以在区域1和区域2的黑色阴影区域发送第二指示信息,斜线阴影长方形区域表示用于终端设备传输数据块的时频资源,时隙n+1中的黑色长方形阴影区域发送该数据块的DMRS。
应理解,网络设备可以通过配置信息通知终端设备所采用的序列,或者网络设备和终端设备可以按照预定义的规则确定所采用的序列。
本申请实施例中,承载第二指示信息的序列的频域资源可以是连续的,以降低终端监测功耗,也可以是非连续的,以获得频率分集增益。
下面示出了本申请实施例提供的三种承载第二指示信息的具体实现方式。
方式一,采用序列指示第二指示信息。
示例性地,采用序列1表示“激活或使用”第一指示信息所指示的频域资源,采用序列2表示“不激活或不使用”第一指示信息所指示的频域资源,并按照预定义的规则确定时域资源。或者,采用序列2表示“激活或使用”第一指示信息所指示的频域资源,采用序列1表示“不激活或不使用”第一指示信息所指示的频域资源,并按照预定义的规则确定时域资源。
示例性地,采用序列1表示“激活或使用”第一指示信息所指示的频域资源,不发送序列1表示“不激活或不使用”第一指示信息所指示的频域资源,并按照预定义的规则确定时域资源。或者,采用序列1表示“不激活或不使用”第一指示信息所指示的频域资源,不发送序列1表示第一指示信息所指示的频域资源,并按照预定义的规则确定时域资源。示例性地,网络设备在时隙n发送的第二指示信息表示“激活”或“使用”第一指示信息所指示的频域资源,则表示从时隙n+K开始,持续第一指示信息所指示的时隙资源的大小、第一指示信息所指示的频域资源,用于数据传输。其中,K的取值可以参照上述相关描述,此处 不再赘述。预定义K=1时,网络设备在时隙n发送的第二指示信息可以表示“不激活”或“不使用”第一指示信息所指示的频域资源,则表示从时隙n+1开始,持续指示信息所指示的时隙资源的大小、第一指示信息所指示的频域资源,不用于数据传输。
示例性地,第二指示信息还用于指示时域资源K、数据传输时长M、MCS中的一个或多个时,也可以采用不同的序列来表示不同的取值,如表一所示。
表一
  K M MCS
不发送序列 不激活    
序列1 K1 M1 MCS1
序列2 K1 M2 MCS2
序列3 K2 M1 MCS1
序列4 K2 M2 MCS2
其中,K1和K2表示不同的K的取值,M1,M2表示M的不同取值,MCS1,MCS2表示MCS的不同取值,K,M,MCS的取值范围可以是协议约定,或是通过第一指示信息发送给终端设备。
方式二,采用PDCCH承载第二指示信息。第二指示信息可以是1比特的信令或大于1比特的信令。由于第二指示信息传输比特数小于现有的PDCCH格式0-0/0-1/1-0/1-1中的信令的比特数,故降低了第二指示信息传输冗余,降低了终端设备检测的复杂度和功耗。
1、第二指示信息为1比特的指示信息,1比特的指示信息指示“激活/使用”,或“不激活/不使用”第一的指示信息所指示的频域资源。例如,网络设备在时隙n发送的第二指示信息表示“激活”或“使用”,则表示从时隙n+K开始,持续第一信令所指示的M时隙长度的时隙的、第一指示信息所指示的频域资源,用于与终端设备的数据传输。其中,K可以在第一指示信息中发送给终端设备,或者按照预定义的规则确定K。网络设备在时隙n发送的第二指示信息表示“不激活”或“不使用”,则表示从时隙n+K开始,持续第一指示信息所指示的M时隙长度的时隙的、第一指示信息所指示的频域资源,可以不用于与所述终端设备的数据传输。
2、第二指示信息为大于1比特的指示信息。示例性地,第二指示信息为m比特的指示信息,m比特的指示信息可以指示“激活”或“不激活”第一的指示信息所指示的频域资源,m比特的信令的解释可以按照预定义的规则确定。以m=2为例,表二示出了一种预定义的方法。
表二
Figure PCTCN2022115305-appb-000011
Figure PCTCN2022115305-appb-000012
示例性地,可以用m1比特表示时域资源K,用m2比特指示数据传输时长M,用m3比特指示MCS,其中,m1,m2,m3的取值均为大于等于零的整数。则第二指示信息的比特数可以是m1+m2+m3。
结合上面的例子,m1,m2,m3等于零时,对应的K,M和MCS的取值可以按照约定的规则来取,或者通过第一指示信息确定。m1=0,m2=4,m3=5时,此时,网络设备在n时隙发送了第二指示信息(该第二指示信息指示K、M和MCS),该第二指示信息为二进制比特“111001111”,前4比特“1100”表示M=13(这里对应的规则为二进制数转为十进制后再加1),后5比特表示采用MCS索引(index)为17的调制编码方式,则该第二指示信息表示:激活从n+1开始的13个时隙用于数据传输,这13个时隙的数据采用MCS index为17所对应的调制编码方式。
再例如,第二指示信息还用于指示时域资源K、数据传输时长M、MCS中的一个或多个时,也可以采用2比特的信息来表示不同的取值,如表三所示。
表三
  K M MCS
不发送第二指示信息 不激活    
00 K1 M1 MCS1
01 K1 M2 MCS2
10 K2 M1 MCS1
11 K2 M2 MCS2
其中,K1和K2表示不同的K的取值,M1,M2表示M的不同取值,MCS1,MCS2表示MCS的不同取值,K,M,MCS的取值范围可以是协议约定,或是通过第一指示信息发送给终端设备。
方式三,采用PDCCH信道来承载第二指示信息,多个终端设备的第二指示信息可以合并在一个下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)格式中发送。由于第二指示信息传输比特数小于现有的PDCCH格式0-0/0-1/1-0/1-1中的信令的比特数,故降低了第二指示信息传输冗余,降低了终端设备检测的复杂度和功耗。
进一步的,上述下行控制信道可以采用PDCCH来承载第二指示信息,第二指示信息可以采用polar码进行编码。在本申请实施例中,第二指示信息的比特数很少,通常都小于11比特,则可以采用其他的小码块编码方法。具体的编码方式可以重用在3GPP TS 38.212 V G.6.0 5.3.3所述的信道编码方法。在一些实施例中,TS 38.212 V G.6.0 5.3.3所述的信道编码方法仅用于上行控制信令传输,本申请实施例中将3GPP TS 38.212 V G.6.0 5.3.3中所述的信道编码方法用于下行控制信令传输,可以重用部分上行编码模块,降低了实现复杂度。
作为一个可选的实施例,该方法200还包括:网络设备发送配置信息,该配置信息用 于配置第一搜索空间的监测周期或第二搜索空间的监测周期中的至少一个。相应地,终端设备接收该配置信息。
在本申请实施例中,可以根据通信数据的传输周期性、通信信道环境、终端设备的移动性、网络的负载情况、终端设备的功耗等配置第一搜索空间的监测周期或第二搜索空间的监测周期中的至少一个,以在满足数据传输要求的基础上尽可能节省终端设备的功耗。
示例性地,网络设备可以根据待传输数据的变化、传输信道的变化来确定第一搜索空间的监测周期。在数据包大小变化稳定、信道条件稳定的情况下,设置比较长的第一搜索空间的监测周期;在数据包变化比较快,信道条件变化比较快的情况下,设置比较短的第一搜索空间的监测周期。例如,XR业务在一般情况下数据包大小和信道条件变化相对稳定,因此,网络设备可以设置比较长的第一搜索空间的监测周期(例如,设置为80时隙或者160时隙)。网络设备可以根据数据包的到达时间来设置第二搜索空间的监测周期。例如,XR业务的帧率为30fps时,可以设置第二搜索空间的监测周期为33.3ms接近的数值,例如设置为33ms。XR业务的帧率为60fps时,可以设置第二搜索空间的监测周期为8.3ms接近的数值,例如设置为8ms。为了使得第二搜索空间的监测周期尽可能接近于数据包的到达周期,还可以设置按照一定样式可变的第二搜索空间周期,例如在XR业务的帧率为60fps时,第二搜索空间的周期按照{16.5ms,16.5ms,17ms}的样式循环,在子载波间隔为30kHz时,第二搜索空间的周期为{33时隙,33时隙,34时隙}的样式循环。
示例性地,网络设备确定第一搜索空间的监测周期为160时隙时,第二搜索空间的监测周期可以为33时隙或34时隙。即网络设备确定的第一搜索空间的监测周期要大于网络设备确定的第二搜索空间的监测周期。
下面结合图5,详细说明上述第一搜索空间的监测周期与第二搜索空间监测周期的关系。如图5所示,在一个第一搜索空间的监测周期内包括多个第二搜索空间的监测周期,若一个第一搜索空间的监测周期为80时隙,一个第二搜索空间的监测周期为2时隙,则在一个第一搜索空间的监测周期内包括40个第二搜索空间的监测周期。
结合XR业务特点,对于XR业务为60fps时,网络设备确定第一搜索空间的监测周期为80毫秒,第二搜索空间的监测周期可以为16.5毫秒或17毫秒。即网络设备确定的第一搜索空间的监测周期要大于网络设备确定的第二搜索空间的监测周期。
示例性地,上述配置信息至少可以包括下列信息中的至少一个:第一搜索空间的起始位置、第一搜索空间的频域资源大小、第一搜索空间的频域资源位置、第一搜索空间的监测期持续监测时隙数、第一搜索空间的监测时隙内的监测期起始符号位置、第一搜索空间监测时隙内的一个监测期长度。可选的,第一搜索空间的频域资源大小、第一搜索空间的频域资源位置、和第一搜索空间的一个监测期长度可以用第一搜索空间关联的控制资源集合(control resource set,CORESET)的标识来指示。
示例性地,上述配置信息至少还可以包括下列信息中的至少一个:第二搜索空间的起始位置、第二搜索空间频域资源大小、第二搜索空间的频域资源位置、第二搜索空间的监测期持续监测时隙数、第二搜索空间内相邻两个监测时隙之间的间隔时隙或第二搜索空间的监测时隙内的监测期起始符号位置、第二搜索空间监测时隙内的一个监测期长度。可选的,第二搜索空间的频域资源大小、第二搜索空间的频域资源位置、和第二搜索空间的一个监测期长度可以用第二搜索空间关联的CORESET的标识来指示。本申请实施例在配置 信息中新增第二搜索空间内相邻两个监测时隙之间的间隔时隙,可以减少终端设备在持续监测时长内监测第二指示信息的时间,从而进一步降低终端设备的功耗。
本申请实施例中,将每次第二搜索空间的持续监测时隙数,称为第二搜索空间持续监测期,其对应的时长称为第二搜索空间持续监测时长,相邻两个第二搜索空间持续监测期的间隔称为第二搜索空间的监测周期。
图6示出了本申请实施例提供的一种第二搜索空间的配置方式。如图6所示,包括三个第二搜索空间的监测周期。每个监测周期内包括一个长为持续监测时隙数的连续时隙,即一个第二搜索空间的持续监测时长,每个第二搜索空间的持续监测时长内包括多个第二搜索空间的监测期,每个第二搜索空间的监测期,可以持续1个或者多个符号,称为第二信令监测期长度。在一个第二搜索空间持续监测期内,相邻两个监测期之间的间隔,称为第二搜索空间的监测期间隔。
本申请实施例中,可以根据传输的数据的到达时间的抖动范围确定第二搜索空间的持续监测时长。这种设计可以在数据到达后及时触发数据传输,降低数据传输时延。例如数据达到时间的抖动范围为[-4ms,4ms],则可以设置第二搜索空间的持续监测时长为8ms,如果一个时隙为0.5ms,也就是第二搜索空间的持续监测时长为16时隙;如果一个时隙为1ms,则第二搜索空间的持续监测时长为8时隙。
进一步地,本申请实施例中,配置第一搜索空间的持续监测时长小于第二搜索空间的持续监测时长,例如配置第一搜索空间的持续监测时长为2时隙,配置第二搜索空间持续监测时长为8时隙。通过减少第一搜索空间的持续监测时长,可以降低终端设备监测第一信令的功耗。而第二搜索空间的持续时长可以覆盖数据到达时间的抖动范围,从而降低了数据传输时延。
本申请实施例中,每个第二搜索空间的监测期的长度可以是1个符号或多个符号,网络设备可以根据要求的第二指示信息的检测性能、信道传播条件或第二指示信息的频域资源大小中的一个或多个因素来确定第二搜索空间的监测期的长度。示例性地,第二指示信息要求比较高的检测性能和/或信道条件比较差和/或第二指示信息的频域资源比较小时,第二搜索空间的监测期长度可以取较大的值,例如2个符号。第二指示信息的要求比较低的检测性能和/或信道条件比较好和/或第二信令频域资源比较大时,第二搜索空间的监测期长度可以取较小的值,例如1个符号。
示例性地,第二搜索空间的监测期间隔等于第二搜索空间的监测周期,网络设备可以仅配置第二搜索空间的监测周期或者仅配置第二搜索空间的监测期间隔。或者,网络设备可以为其中的一个或者多个参数定义缺省值,而不再通过信令发送给终端设备。示例性地,网络设备和终端设备可以通过协议约定第二搜索空间的监测期间隔为1时隙。或者,网络设备和终端设备可以通过协议约定第二信令监测期长度为2符号。
在一些实施例中,搜索空间的持续监测时长内的两个相邻监测时隙之间的间隔为1时隙。本申请实施例中,在配置信息中新增第二搜索空间内相邻两个监测时隙之间的间隔期时隙,该间隔期时隙可以配置为大于等于1时隙,可以进一步降低终端设备的功耗。
图7示出了本申请实施例提供的第二搜索空间的监测期间隔的配置方式。如图7所示,配置方式2中相邻两个第二搜索空间的监测期间隔为配置方式1中相邻两个第二搜索空间的监测期间隔的二倍。示例性地,在配置方式1中,相邻两个第二搜索空间的监测期间隔 为1ms,则在配置方式2中,相邻两个第二搜索空间的监测期间隔为2ms。应理解,监测期间隔大,可以降低终端设备监测第二指示信息的功耗。监测期间隔小,可以降低数据传输时延。综上,网络设备可以根据终端设备的节能需求和数据传输时延来配置合适的值,用于数据传输。
作为一个可选的实施例,传输上述第二指示信息的频域资源与传输数据的频域资源相同,或传输上述第二指示信息的频域资源大小小于传输数据的频域资源大小。
本申请实施例中,传输第二指示信息的频域资源与传输数据的频域资源相同,如果第二指示信息用序列承载,则此时第二支持信息的序列还可以用于数据解调,提升数据解调性能,或者,可以降低用于数据解调的DMRS的数量,从而提升系统效率。如果第二指示信息用物理控制信道承载,此时第二指示信息和数据可以共享用于解调的参考信号。传输第二指示信息的频域资源大小小于接收数据的频域资源大小,可以减少传输第二指示信息的传输冗余,降低终端设备的监测功耗。
示例性地,对于支持BWP数量较小的终端设备,网络设备可以将传输第二指示信息的频域资源与传输第一指示信息的频域资源配置为相同的频域资源,该方式可以避免频繁的BWP切换带来的时延和功耗。
作为一个可选的实施例,第二搜索空间的频域资源与第一搜索空间的频域资源相同,或第二搜索空间的频域资源大小小于第一搜索空间的频域资源大小。
作为一个可选的实施例,该方法200还包括:网络设备根据本次在第二搜索空间中发送第二指示信息所在的时隙位置,确定之后的第二搜索空间的起始位置或第二搜索空间的监测周期中的至少一个。相应地,终端设备根据当前在第二搜索空间中接收到第二指示信息所在的时隙位置,确定之后第二搜索空间的起始位置或第二搜索空间的监测周期中的至少一个。
示例性地,本申请实施例中的数据为一些帧周期可能会产生波动的业务(例如XR业务)时,可以采用动态调整第二搜索空间的监测周期的开始时间的方式,以更好地匹配业务的传输。示例性地,在时隙n检测到第二指示信息,则下次第二指示信息检测开始时隙为n+L,其中,L可以由网络设备配置给终端设备,L的取值可以为(P-R/2),其中,P为数据周期(单位:时隙),R为数据到达时间抖动范围(单位:时隙)。设1毫秒=2时隙,以数据周期为16.67ms(即33时隙),数据到达时间抖动范围为8ms(即16时隙)为例,则L的取值为33-8=25时隙,也就是说,在时隙n检测到第二指示信息时,则下次第二指示信息开始检测的时隙为(n+25)时隙。
图8示出了本申请实施例提供的一种第二指示信息的监测方式。如图8所示,在第一个网络设备为终端设备配置的监测时长内,在第三个监测期(第一个黑色阴影区域)监测到第二指示信息(即实际的监测时长为第一个监测期开始位置到第三个监测期的结束位置的时间),则下次监测第二指示信息的监测时长开始时间为第三个监测期之后的25时隙。依次类推。这样,有25时隙的时间不需要终端设备监测第二指示信息,节省了终端设备的功耗。
作为一个可选的实施例,该方法200还包括:网络设备发送第三指示信息,该第三指示信息指示第二搜索空间的起始位置或第二搜索空间的监测周期中的至少一个。相应地,终端设备接收该第三指示信息。
作为一个可选的实施例,该方法200还包括:终端设备停止在第二搜索空间当前监测周期内的剩余持续监测时长对第二指示信息的监测。
示例性地,终端设备在一个第二搜索空间的监测时长内的任一监测期监测到第二指示信息后,可以不在该第二搜索空间的监测时长内剩余的其他监测期继续监测第二指示信息。
本申请实施例的这种处理方式可以进一步降低终端设备监测第二指示信息的功耗。
图9示出了本申请实施例提供的另一种第二指示信息的监测方式。如图9所示,包括3个第二搜索空间的监测周期,每个监测周期配置的持续监测时长内包括4个第二搜索空间的监测期。其中,在第一个监测周期内,终端设备在第一个监测期监测第二指示信息,没有检测到第二指示信息,则在第二个监测期监测第二指示信息,依旧没有检测到第二指示信息,则在第三个监测期(即图中第一个黑色阴影位置)监测第二指示信息,检测到第二指示信息,则终端设备可以不在第四个监测期监测第二指示信息。在第二个监测周期内,终端设备在第一个监测期监测第二信令,检测到第二指示信息(即图中第二个黑色阴影位置),则终端设备可以不在剩余第二、三、四个监测期监测第二信令。在第三个监测周期内,终端设备依次在第一个、第二个、第三个、第四个监测期监测第二指示信息,直到在第四个监测期检测到第二指示信息(图中第三个黑色阴影位置),或者直到第三个监测周期的持续监测时长结束仍未检测到第二指示信息,则停止在该监测周期的监测第二指示信息。
示例性地,当在第二搜索空间的当前监测周期内的持续监测时长结束后未监测到第二指示信息时,停止在第二搜索空间的当前监测周期内的第二指示信息的监测,或者在持续监测时长结束后的时隙继续监测第二指示信息,直到检测到第二指示信息为止或者直到接收到第四指示信息为止,该第四指示信息用于指示停止监测第二指示信息。
示例性地,网络设备和终端设备可以根据网络负载情况、终端设备的节电策略、数据的服务质量要求等其中的至少一个确定是否采用监测期延长的方式。例如,终端设备不需要节电,且数据的传输时延低,可以采用延长监测期的方式来降低数据传输时延。或者,数据可以接收较高的传输时延,且终端希望尽可能节电,则不采用延长监测期的方式。
应理解,第二搜索空间监测延长期(上述持续监测时长结束后的时隙)的检测期的配置,可以采用第二搜索空间的持续监测时长内的相同的配置。
图10示出了本申请实施例提供的再一种第二指示信息的监测方式。如图10所示,包括3个第二搜索空间的监测周期,每个监测周期配置的持续监测时长内包括4个第二搜索空间的监测期。其中,在第一个监测周期内,终端设备在第三个监测期检测到第二指示信息,则停止在当前监测周期内的监测第二指示信息,即终端设备不在第一个监测周期内的第四个监测期继续监测第二指示信息。在第二个监测周期内,终端设备在配置的监测时长内没有检测到第二指示信息,则持续监测时长结束后的时隙(延长期)继续监测第二指示信息,终端设备在延长期的第二个检测期监测到第二指示信息,则停止继续监测,相隔25时隙(一个监测周期)继续监测第二指示信息。
下面结合图11,对本申请实施例提供的资源指示方法1100进行详细说明。该方法1100可以应用于图1所示的通信系统100,但本申请实施例不限于此。在图11中是以调度节点为网络设备、被调度节点为终端设备作为该交互示意的执行主体为例来示意该方法,但本申请并不限制该交互示意的执行主体。
图11示出了本申请实施例提供的另一种资源指示方法1100,如图11所示,该方法1100可以包括以下步骤:
S1101,网络设备在第三搜索空间发送第四指示信息,该第四指示信息用于指示终端设备发送第二数据的频域资源。相应地,终端设备在第三搜索空间接收该第四指示信息。
上述第四指示信息可以通过物理层信令传输,或者第四指示信息中的一部分信息通过高层信令传输,一部分通过物理层信令传输。可以理解的是,第四指示信息中通过高层信令传输的一部分信息和通过物理层信令传输的一部分信息之和可以是第四指示信息,也可以是第四指示信息中的部分信息,本申请对此不作限定。
按照3GPP规定,物理层控制信令通过在物理下行控制信道候选搜索空间发送。可以理解的是,当第四指示信息中存在通过高层信令传输的部分信息时,网络设备不需要在搜索空间发送第四指示信息中的这部分信息。
示例性地,上述第一指示信息通过物理层信令传输时,可以通过采用特定的下行控制信息格式来表示,或者采用特定RNTI加扰来表示。
应理解,S1101的具体实施方式可参照上述方法200中S201的相关描述,此处不再赘述。
本申请实施例中的第二数据是指终端设备发送给网络设备的上行数据,也可以称为传输数据。
S1102,终端设备在第一传输机会发送第五指示信息,该第五指示信息用于指示终端设备发送第二数据的起始传输时间,相应地,网络设备在第一传输机会监测并接收第五指示信息。
上述第三搜索空间的监测周期大于上述第一传输机会的传输机会周期。
终端设备在接收到第四指示信息后,并不立即使用第四指示信息所指示的频域资源,而是等待有上行数据要传输时,才使用第四指示信息所指示的频域资源传输,这样可以避免无线资源不必要的浪费,避免终端设备发送空数据包带来的终端设备功耗的增加和通信系统的干扰增加。
在一种可选的实施方法中,终端设备和网络设备可以不通过在第一传输机会发送的第五指示信息来确定终端设备发送数据的实际起始传输时间。这种实施方法中,由于网络设备并不清楚终端设备何时会使用第四信息所指示的频域资源,网络设备需要在所有可能的时域资源不断的进行盲检测来判断终端设备是否发送了第二数据,这种方式增加了网络设备的复杂度。终端设备确定有上行数据要传输时,向网络设备发送第五指示信息,可以避免网络设备盲检测是否有数据传输带来的复杂度。
网络设备和终端设备可以进一步确定第四指示信息所指示的频域资源所传输的数据的类型,例如只有XR业务才可以使用第四指示信息所指示的频域资源传输。或者可以指示只有优先级高于一定值,或者优先级为确定值的数据可以使用第四指示信息所指示的频域资源传输。这种方式可以避免其他数据占用了第四指示信息所指示的频域资源导致目标类型的数据传输延迟增加。
S1103,终端设备根据频域资源和起始传输时间,向网络设备发送第二数据。相应地,网络设备根据频域资源和起始传输时间,接收来自终端设备的该第二数据。
进一步地,终端设备在发送了第五指示信息后,按照第四指示信息和第五指示信息所 确定的时频资源发送上行数据。相应的,网络设备在接收到第五指示信息后,根据第五指示信息所指示的信息,确定激活第四指示信息指示的频域资源生效的时域,从而确定承载数据的时频资源以接收上行数据。
本申请实施例中,网络设备在第三搜索空间的监测周期发送的第四指示信息,预先分配好终端设备可以使用的上行传输资源,由于第三搜索空间的监测周期大于第一传输机会的传输机会周期,避免了终端设备设备在第一传输机会重复发送期望用于数据传输的频域资源,造成信令传输冗余度高的问题。采用本申请的方案,可以减少频域资源信息的发送次数,从而减少调度信令传输冗余度,提高网络的传输效率,降低终端设备的功耗,之后终端设备在有数据达到后,在第一传输机会的传输周期发送第五指示信息,通知网络设备此时终端设备期望的数据传输的时域资源,避免了为降低时延而带来的传输资源浪费的问题。
应理解,S1102中的第一传输机会的传输机会周期可以参照上述第二搜索空间的监测周期的相关描述,此处不再赘述。相应地,第一传输机会的传输机会可参照上述第二搜索空间的监测期的相关描述,第一传输机会的传输机会周期可参照上述第二搜索空间的监测周期的相关描述,第一传输机会的传输机会持续时长可参照上述第二搜索空间的监测持续时长的相关描述,第一传输机会的传输机会间隔可参照上述第二搜索空间的监测期间隔的相关描述,第一传输机会的传输机会长度可以参照上述第二搜索空间的监测期长度,此处均不再赘述。示例性地,第一传输机会的传输机会时长可以是1个符号或多个符号,或者是1个时隙或多个时隙,或者第一传输机会的传输机会时长可以等于第一传输机会的传输机会间隔。
还可以理解的是,网络设备可以根据信道状态、网络负载情况、终端设备功耗中的至少一个确定第一传输机会时长。
图12示出了本申请实施例提供的一种第一传输机会的配置方式。如图12所示,在配置方式1中,第一传输机会的传输机会长度配置为1个符号或多个符号,在配置方式2中,第一传输机会的传输机会长度配置为1个时隙,在配置方式3中,终端设备配置第一传输机会的传输机会长度配置为2个时隙,在配置方式2和配置方式3中,传输机会时长等于第一传输机会的传输机会间隔。
本申请实施例中,网络设备在第一传输机会的传输机会监测第五指示信息,若网络设备在n时隙检测到第五指示信息,则表示从时隙n+K开始,持续第四指示信息指示的M时隙长度的时隙和频域资源上,用于终端设备的数据传输。若网络设备在n时隙没有监测到第五指示信息,则表示从时隙n+K开始,持续第四指示信息指示的M时隙长度的时隙和频域资源上,不用于终端设备的数据传输。若网络设备在n时隙检测到第五指示信息,该第五指示信息指示从时隙n+K开始,持续第四指示信息指示的M时隙长度的时隙和频域资源上,不用于终端设备的数据传输,则网络设备可以从时隙n+K开始,持续第四指示信息指示的M时隙长度的时隙和频域资源,分配给其他终端设备使用。此时,K的取值要足够大以便网络设备发送新的调度信令给其他终端设备。
示例性地,网络设备还可以在接收到第五指示信息之前,将可能会被第五指示信息指示为激活的全部或部分第四指示信息指示的频域资源分配用于其他数据传输。示例性地,可以用于终端设备2的数据传输,此时,若网络设备接收到第五指示信息指示终端设备使 用被第四指示信息指示的频域资源用于该终端设备的数据传输时,网络设备可以发送向终端设备2发送取消终端设备2的数据传输的信令,以便将该频域资源留给发送第五指示信息的终端设备使用,也就是说,向网络设备发送第五指示信息的终端设备的数据传输具有更高的传输优先级。此时K的取值需要满足网络设备在时隙n+K之前取消其他终端设备的数据传输。
作为一个可选的实施例,上述第四指示信息还用于指示下列信息中的至少一种:第二数据的调制编码方式,或第二数据的时域资源的大小;或者,第五指示信息还用于指示下列信息中的至少一种:第二数据的调制编码方式,或第二数据的时域资源的大小。
示例性地,第四指示信息还可以用于指示第二数据的调制编码方式和发送数据的时域资源的大小;或者,第四指示信息还可以用于指示第二数据的调制编码方式,第五指示信息还用于指示第二数据的时域资源的大小;或者,第四指示信息还可以用于指示第二数据的时域资源的大小,第五指示信息还用于指示第二数据的调制编码方式;或者,第四指示信息还可以用于指示第二数据的调制编码方式和第二数据的时域资源的大小。
本申请实施例中,采用第四指示信息指示调制编码方式或第二数据的时域资源的大小的方案,由于第三搜索空间的监测周期大于第一传输机会的传输机会周期,可以避免在第一传输机会的传输机会周期发送该信令,造成调度信令传输冗余度高的问题。采用第五指示信息指示调制编码方式或第二数据的时域资源的大小的方案,终端设备可以在数据传输前,可以根据待传输数据当时信道条件、数据包大小中的至少一个因素,确定数据的调制编码方式或数据时域资源大小。例如在信道条件好时,或者数据包短时,可以采用更高频谱效率的调制编码方式或者采用更小的数据时域资源,从而达到提升系统效率的目的。
在一种可能的设计中,所述第五指示信息还包括下列信息中的至少一个:下行控制信令格式标识、载波标识、上行载波或补充上行载波标识、带宽部分标识、跳频标识、冗余版本、新数据标识、HARQ进程号、DAI、SRS资源标识、预编码信息和层数、天线端口、SRS请求、CSI请求、CBG传输信息、PTRS和DMRS的关联关系、贝塔偏移标识、DMRS序列初始化。
作为一个可选的实施例,上述第五指示信息采用序列、物理上行控制信道或物理上行共享信道承载。
应理解,上述序列可以为ZC序列、Gold序列、M序列、Walsh序列或其他随机序列、正交序列中的一个或多个。
