相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求在2021年09月07日提交中国专利局、申请号为202111044235.7、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
为了抵抗信道的多径效应,在符号间添加保护间隔的技术被提出。其中,保护间隔可以通过如下方式来抵抗多径效应:
其一,保护间隔可以去除相邻接收符号间的符号间干扰(inter symbol interference,ISI);
其二,在经过多径信道后,保护间隔将信道与符号的线性卷积转换为信道与符号的循环卷积。当接收信号被转换为符号与多径信道的循环卷积后,符号接收端可以采用频域均衡方法消除多径效应。
保护间隔可以为零保护间隔(zero padding,ZP)、或者循环前缀(cyclic prefix,CP)或者循环后缀(cyclic suffix,CS)。通常,循环前缀(cyclic prefix,CP)被用作符号间的保护间隔。现有的CP配置方法可以实现抵抗一部分多径效应的影响,但是实际环境中可能存在与第一条径的时延差超过CP长度的径(以下简称径P)。可以理解为,对于相同的发送信号,经历第一条径到达接收端的时刻与经历径P到达接收端的时刻相差超过CP的持续时间,其中,该发送信号经历第一条径到达接收端的时刻早于该发送信号经历其他径到达接收端的时刻。
其中,径P对应的接收信号不能完整落入常规的快速傅里叶变换(fast Fourier transform,FFT)接收窗,即会丢掉一部分经历径P到达接收端的信号,同时第1个OFDM符号的常规的FFT接收窗内还会接收到上一个时隙经历径P到达接收端的信号。随着径P与第一条径的时延差越长,丢掉的经历径P到达信号越多,同时接收到的经历径P到达的上一个时隙的干扰也越多。当丢掉的信号和受到的干扰足够大时,将会影响第1个OFDM符号的性能。
发明内容

采用上述方法可以实现第1个OFDM符号对应的FFT接收窗相较于常规的FFT接收窗向后延迟,使得经历径P达到的第1个OFDM符号的信号可以完整落入第个FFT接收窗内,降低第1个OFDM符号上的符号间干扰,当第1个OFDM符号是DMRS符号时,保障了基于DMRS估计的信道的估计精度,进而保证了解调性能。

在一种可能的设计中,所述第三类型符号分量的长度为第一预设值;所述第二信息指示所述第二类型符号分量的长度和所述循环前缀的长度之和。

以下对本申请实施例涉及的技术概念进行简要说明:
1.离散傅里叶变换扩展的正交频分复用(discrete fourier transformation-spread-OFDM,DFT-s-OFDM)
在新空口(new radio,NR)系统中,上行传输支持循环前缀正交频分复用(cyclic prefix-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,CP-OFDM)波形和DFT-s-OFDM波形。其中,DFT-s-OFDM继承于长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统,DFT-s-OFDM又称之为单载波波形,DFT-s-OFDM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,在映射至频域子载波前需先做DFT,即:
Figure PCTCN2022116602-appb-000001
其中,y(k)为待映射在子载波上的信号,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/2 shifted 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。
进一步地,发送端将经离散傅里叶变换后的信号映射到子载波上,然后经IFFT和加CP后发出。接收端在频域完成信号均衡之后,会对同一个OFDM符号上调度带宽内的子载波上的N个接收信号做一个IDFT的操作,进而得到QAM调制信号对应的接收信号,并基于此完成译码得到发送端发送的信息。
由于DFT-s-OFDM等单载波波形具有较低的PAPR,因此,在各类通信系统(例如LTE系统,NR系统)中被广泛应用。其中,在相同的功放下,较低的PAPR的波形可以提供更大的输出功率和更高的功放效率,从而达到提升覆盖和降低能耗的目的。而较低的PAPR波形带来的覆盖和功耗优势在终端设备侧尤为明显,进而,在LTE系统和NR系统的现有版本中,单载波波形均应用于上行传输。
在更高频段(例如NR后续演进所支持的52.6GHz以上频段),功放的功耗与线性度指标x更差或线性工作区更小。例如,如图3所示,在越高的频段,线性工作区越小,P1dB对应的输入功率越低,其中,P1dB是指理论增益曲线与实际增益曲线相差1dB的工作点。因此,低PAPR特性将尤为重要,DFT-s-OFDM波形等单载波波形可能得到更广泛的应用。例如,52.6GHz以上频段的NR标准可能在下行引入DFT-s-OFDM波形或单载波正交幅度调制(single carrier-quadrature amplitude modulation,SC-QAM)波形。
2.多径
多径是指无线电信号从发射天线经过多个路径抵达接收天线的传播现象。
3.高频
高频是指6GHz以上频段,主要包括28GHz、39GHz、60GHz、73GHz等,因其丰富的频谱资源成为业界用于解决日益增长的通信需求而研究和开发的热点。特别是52.6~71GHz这段频谱,其显著特点为大带宽,为了充分利用这段频谱资源,提高峰值速率或吞吐,业界提出将单个载波所占用的带宽从现在NR的400MHz增加至约2GHz或更高,同时由于终端设备的硬件等的限制,以及对数据解调时延越来越高的要求,限制了最大的FFT点数和最大资源块数,其中,FFT点数越高,实现FFT的复杂度越高。示例性地,现在支持的最大FFT点数为4096,最大资源块数为275,在这个限制下,子载波间隔分别为120kHz,240kHz,480kHz,960kHz所支持的带宽分别为400MHz、800MHz、1600MHz、3200MHz。因此,为了在有限FFT点数下,尽量增加带宽,大子载波间隔如960kHz甚至1920kHz的研究被提出。
4.CP
CP是指将OFDM符号尾部的信号复制到头部构成的。现有协议中,CP的长度主要有两种,分别为常规循环前缀(normal cyclic prefix,NCP)和扩展循环前缀(extended cyclic prefix,ECP)。其中,NCP的持续时间小于ECP的持续时间,NCP在一个时隙内的开销也小于ECP在一个时隙内的开销。下文如无特殊说明循环前缀是指常规循环前缀,常规循环前缀用NCP表示。由于ECP的持续时间更长,因此可以抵抗时延更长的信道,同时其开销较大,具体的,CP持续时间与子载波映射中的子载波间隔(subcarrier spacing,SCS)有关。 SCS越大,CP持续时间越短,能抵抗的多径时延越短。
各个SCS有关对应的NCP和ECP的时间长度分别如下表1所示:
表1 不同SCS对应的NCP和ECP持续时间
SCS 120kHz 240kHz 480kHz 960kHz 1920kHz 3840kHz
NCP ~586ns ~293ns ~146ns ~73ns ~37ns ~18ns
ECP ~2083ns ~1042ns ~521ns ~260ns ~130ns ~65ns
其中“~”表示约等于,根据公式取四舍五入得到,如:round(x)即对x取四舍五入。NCP的计算公式为:round(144*1e9/(SCS*2048)),单位为纳秒(ns),SCS的单位为Hz;其中,NCP是指不包括特殊符号的CP长度,特殊符号是指每0.5ms的第一个符号。ECP的计算公式为:round(512*1e9/(SCS*2048)),单位为ns。其中,1e9=10 9,上述两个公式中的“/”表示除号,“*”表示乘号。
由上表可知,子载波间隔增加,NCP持续时间变短。当SCS增加至960kHz甚至更高时,其对应的CP持续时间较短,较难抵抗长时延的信道,进而影响数据解调性能。ECP虽可以抵抗长时延的信道,但是由于使用ECP的网络设备必须将ECP应用到其服务的所有终端设备上,使得部分不需要ECP的终端设备因ECP的配置引入的开销比较大,降低了这部分终端设备的吞吐,影响网络整体的数据传输速率。
示例性地,针对DFT-s-OFDM,通过在每两个DFT-s-OFDM符号间加入不同的保护间隔可以实现抵抗信道的多径效应。其中,循环前缀被用作符号间的保护间隔。针对不同的保护间隔,可以将DFT-s-OFDM分为常规的循环前缀DFT-s-OFDM(cyclic prefix-DFT-s-OFDM,CP-DFT-s-OFDM)(即在符号头部添加普通循环前缀),零尾DFT-s-OFDM(zero tail-DFT-s-OFDM,ZT-DFT-s-OFDM)(在符号尾部添加近似零功率的信号),特殊字DFT-s-OFDM(unique word-DFT-s-OFDM,UW-DFT-s-OFDM)(在符号头部添加特殊字生成的信号)等。
以CP-DFT-s-OFDM举例,CP-DFT-s-OFDM的信号生成示意图如图4A所示。CP-DFT-s-OFDM的信号生成及发射过程如下:源比特编码(对应图2B中的信源比特生成模块和编码模块),调制(对应图2B中的QAM调制模块),串并转换(对应图2B中的映射/排列模块),DFT(对应图2B中的DFT模块),子载波映射(对应图2B中的RE映射模块),IFFT,添加CP(复制符号尾部的信号至头部,图4A中示意为复制底部的符号至顶部),在并串转换后经由天线发送。其中,黑色圈可以理解为子载波映射。
另外,循环前缀SC-QAM(cyclic prefix-SC-QAM,CP-SC-QAM)也可以基于CP生成保护间隔,其信号生成示意图如图4B所示。相比CP-DFT-s-OFDM,CP-SC-QAM的信号生成没有DFT、子载波映射和IFFT的操作/模块,而是多了上采样和滤波器的操作/模块。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中所涉及的符号或OFDM符号可以是指CP-DFT-s-OFDM符号,或其他符号,本申请实施例对此不作限定,下文仅以CP-DFT-s-OFDM符号为例进行说明,为了描述简便,将CP-DFT-s-OFDM符号简称为OFDM符号。
如图1所示,每个OFDM符号对应的FFT接收窗的长度为一个OFDM符号的长度,每个OFDM符号对应的FFT接收窗的起始位置是根据CP的结束位置确定的。示例性地,第1个OFDM符号对应的FFT接收窗的起始位置为第一条径对应的接收信号中第1个OFDM符号对应的CP的结束位置。第2个OFDM符号对应的FFT接收窗的起始位置为 第一条径对应的接收信号中第2个OFDM符号对应的CP的结束位置。其中,A点为每个OFDM符号中截取循环前缀的位置,例如,从第1个OFDM符号中A点至第1个OFDM符号的结束位置之间的信号被复制到第1个OFDM符号的起始位置之前,作为第1个OFDM符号对应的CP。又例如,从第2个OFDM符号中A点至第2个OFDM符号的结束位置之间的信号被复制到第2个OFDM符号的起始位置之前,作为第2个OFDM符号对应的CP。
当径P与第一条径的时延差超过CP长度时,径P对应的接收信号不能完整落入采用上述方式确定的FFT接收窗内。具体的,针对第1个OFDM符号,经历径P到达接收端的信号会被丢掉一部分(如图1中的粗线方块所示),其中,粗线方块所示的这部分信号未落入第1个OFDM符号对应的FFT接收窗,且该部分信号位于第1个OFDM符号中的A点之前,即该部分信号未被复制第1个OFDM符号的起始位置之前,因此,该部分信号可以认为是被丢失的有用信号。
同时,第1个OFDM符号对应的FFT接收窗内还会接收到上一个时隙经历径P到达接收端的信号(如图1中的粗线圆圈所示),进而对第1个OFDM符号造成干扰。当丢掉的信号和受到的干扰足够大时,将会影响第1个OFDM符号的性能。尤其是当第1个OFDM符号是DMRS所在的OFDM符号时,会降低基于DMRS估计的信道的估计精度,进而降低解调性能。
其中,径P可以是指与第一条径的时延超过CP的径中的任意一条径,或者径P为与第一条径的时延超过NCP且与第一条径的时延最长的径,或者能量超过第一预设阈值的径且与第一条径的时延超过NCP的径,或者功率超过第二预设阈值且与第一条径的时延超过NCP的径。
因此,本申请实施例提供一种通信方法,可以减少第一个OFDM符号有用信号的丢失以及降低干扰,进而保证第一个OFDM符号的性能,具体的,如图5所示,该方法包括:
步骤500:网络设备向终端设备发送第一信息和第二信息。
其中,第一信息用于确定第一类型的符号分量的长度,第二信息用于确定第二类型的符号分量的长度和第三类型的符号分量的长度中的至少一个,第一类型符号分量的长度大于第三类型符号分量的长度。
可以理解的是,第一信息和第二信息可以分别对应不同的字段,由一个消息携带,例如无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)消息,或者第一信息和第二信息可以由不同消息携带,或者第一信息和/或第二信息是预配置或者由协议预定义,不需要网络设备发送给终端设备。
此外,第一类型符号分量的长度的单位为IFFT后的样点数,或者绝对时间单位,或者指定的FFT点数下IFFT后的样点数,例如,指定的FFT点数为2048,则指定的FFT点数下IFFT后的样点数为288,其长度为NCP长度的两倍。同理,第二类型符号分量的长度的单位为IFFT后的样点数,或者绝对时间单位,或者指定的FFT点数下IFFT后的样点数。第三类型符号分量的长度的单位为IFFT后的样点数,或者绝对时间单位,或者指定的FFT点数下IFFT后的样点数。
可以理解的是,IFFT后的样点数、绝对时间单位、指定的FFT点数下IFFT后的样点数之间可以相互转换。此外,一般地,NCP(或ECP)的长度的单位为ns,即绝对时间单位,因此,可以将NCP(或ECP)的长度的单位转换为IFFT后的样点数,或者指定的FFT 点数下IFFT后的样点数,即可以通过单位换算将NCP(或ECP)的长度的单位与第一类型符号分量的长度单位(或第二类型符号分量的长度的单位或第三类型符号分量的长度的单位)进行统一。
以下对第一信息和第二信息的具体实现方式进行说明:
1、第一信息
在一种实现方式中,第一类型符号分量的长度可以单独配置或通过差值的方式配置。其中差值也可以理解为差分值。
在一示例中,第一类型符号分量的长度进行单独配置。具体的,第一信息可以指示第一类型符号分量的长度或长度的索引。
例如,第一信息可以承载在带宽部分或部分带宽(bandwidth part,BWP)的配置中。具体的,可以在带宽部分的配置中增加新的字段,利用该新的字段来承载第一信息,指示第一类型符号分量的长度。示例性的,该新的字段可以命名为SCPfortheFirstSym,当然,也可以命名为其他名字,本申请不予限制第一类型符号分量。
在另一示例中,第一类型符号分量的长度通过差值的方式配置。具体的,第一信息可以指示第一类型符号分量的长度与第三类型符号分量的长度的差值或第一类型符号分量的长度索引与第三类型符号分量的长度索引的差值,或者第一信息可以指示第一类型符号分量的长度与第二类型符号分量的长度的差值或第一类型符号分量的长度索引与第二类型符号分量的长度索引的差值。
例如,预配置多个第一类型符号分量的长度和多个第三类型符号分量的长度,其中,每个第一类型符号分量的长度对应一个索引,每个第三类型符号分量的长度对应一个索引。第一信息可以指示第一类型符号分量的长度索引与第三类型符号分量的长度索引的差值,第二信息可以指示第三类型符号分量的长度索引。终端设备可以根据第一信息和第二信息确定第一类型符号分量的长度索引,进而确定第一类型符号分量的长度。
又例如,预配置多个第一类型符号分量的长度和多个第二类型符号分量的长度,其中,每个第一类型符号分量的长度对应一个索引,每个第二类型符号分量的长度对应一个索引。第一信息可以指示第一类型符号分量的长度索引与第二类型符号分量的长度索引的差值,第二信息可以指示第二类型符号分量的长度索引。终端设备可以根据第一信息和第二信息确定第一类型符号分量的长度索引,进而确定第一类型符号分量的长度。
需要说明的是,上述预配置的符号分量的长度与对应的索引可以直接存储在网络设备和终端设备,不需要信令通知;可选的,预配置的符号分量的长度与对应的索引也可以通过网络设备信令通知给终端设备,本申请不予限制。
可以理解的是,在第一类型符号分量长度通过差值的方式配置的实现方式下,上述两个例子仅以长度索引差值的方式进行举例,可替换的,长度索引也可以直接替换为长度,作为又一种实现方式,为了简洁,不予赘述。
2、第二信息
在第一种实现方式中,第二信息用于确定第二类型符号分量的长度。其中,第三类型符号分量的长度可以是预配置的或协议预定义的。
示例性地,在指定SCS下,第三类型符号分量的长度为第一预设值,其中,第一预设值可以是预配置或协议预定义的。第二信息指示第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和。其中,第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和可以介于NCP的长度和ECP的长 度之间,或者第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和还可以大于等于ECP的长度(例如2倍ECP)。此外,第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和又可以称为等效CP的长度。可以理解的是,第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和,是在将NCP的长度的单位与第二类型符号分量的长度的单位换算为同一个单位后计算得到的。
终端设备可以根据第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和,以及NCP的长度可以确定第二类型符号分量的长度。
以下仅以示例1和示例2为例说明第二信息的第一种实现方式:
示例1:
第三类型符号分量的长度为第一预设值,第二信息仅用于确定第二类型符号分量的长度。示例性的,可以在物理上行共享信道(physical uplink share channel,PUSCH)的配置信元(例如,PUSCH-Config)中承载第二信息,具体的,可以在PUSCH-Config中复用已有的字段或增加新的字段来承载或指示第二信息。一种可能的实现方式,该新的字段指示第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和,例如,该新的字段可以用SCPHeadandTail表示,SCPHeadandTail的取值可以为(0,1,…,M)中的一个,M为大于等于2的正整数。M的大小取决于将NCP与ECP的长度差值均匀划分得到的份数,以使第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和可以介于NCP的长度和ECP的长度之间。当然,该新的字段也可以命名为其他名字,本申请不予限制。
如图6A所示,当M=15时,NCP与ECP的长度差值被均匀划分16份,当SCPHeadandTail取值为0时,SCPHeadandTail指示第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和为NCP,当SCPHeadandTail取值为15时,SCPHeadandTail指示第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和为NCP+15/16*(ECP-NCP)。其中,当SCPHeadandTail的取值为7时,SCPHeadandTail指示第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和为NCP+7/16*(ECP-NCP)。
如图6B所示,当M=15时,NCP与ECP的长度差值被均匀划分16份,当SCPHeadandTail取值为0时,SCPHeadandTail指示第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和为NCP+1/16*(ECP-NCP),当SCPHeadandTail取值为15时,SCPHeadandTail指示第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和为ECP。其中,当SCPHeadandTail的取值为7时,SCPHeadandTail指示第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和为NCP+8/16*(ECP-NCP)。
如图6C所示,当M=15时,NCP与ECP的长度差值被均匀划分为15份,当SCPHeadandTail取值为0时,SCPHeadandTail指示第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和为NCP长度,当SCPHeadandTail取值为15时,SCPHeadandTail指示第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和为ECP长度。当SCPHeadandTail取值为7时,SCPHeadandTail指示第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和为NCP+7/15*(ECP-NCP)。
如图6D所示,当M=15时,NCP与ECP的长度差值被均匀划分为17份,当SCPHeadandTail取值为0时,SCPHeadandTail指示第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和为NCP+1/17*(ECP-NCP),当SCPHeadandTail取值为15时,SCPHeadandTail指示第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和为NCP+(15+1)/17*(ECP-NCP)。当SCPHeadandTail取值为7时,SCPHeadandTail指示第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长 度之和为NCP+(7+1)/17*(ECP-NCP)。
需要说明的是,如图6A和图6C所示,当SCPHeadandTail取值为0时,SCPHeadandTail指示第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和为NCP,此时,第二类型符号分量的长度为0,一般来说,第二类型符号分量的长度不为0,因此,SCPHeadandTail的取值一般不为0,在这种情况下,0可以作为缺省值。此外,M取值为15仅为举例,还可以是其他值。在上述举例中,以将NCP与ECP的长度差值进行均匀划分为例进行说明,此外,还可以将NCP与2倍ECP的长度差值进行均匀划分,或者,还可以将NCP与0.8倍ECP的长度差值进行均匀划分,本申请对此不作限定。
此外,SCPHeadandTail的取值还可以为(0,1,…,M)中的多个,网络设备还可以进一步指示多种取值中的一种作为终端设备使用的配置。示例性地,网络设备可以向终端设备发送媒体接入控制控制元素(media access control control element,MAC CE)消息或下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)指示多个取值中的一个。例如,网络设备向终端设备发送RRC消息,RRC消息包括PUSCH-Config信元,PUSCH-Config信元包括SCPHeadandTail,SCPHeadandTail的取值为3,5,7。网络设备还可以向终端设备发送DCI,DCI指示SCPHeadandTail的取值为3。进而,终端设备可以根据SCPHeadandTail的取值为3确定第二类型符号分量的长度。
示例性地,当网络设备采用DCI为终端设备直接指示一个SCPHeadandTail的取值时,每个DCI的开销较大,例如,在M=15时,DCI需要采用4比特指示一个SCPHeadandTail的取值。且当信道情况不稳定时,网络设备可能需要经常发送DCI指示新的SCPHeadandTail,DCI的开销问题更为明显。而采用上述方法,网络设备可以先指示多个SCPHeadandTail的取值,然后再通过DCI进一步指示多个SCPHeadandTail的取值中的一个,进而可以实现减小DCI的开销。例如,网络设备可以通过RRC消息或MAC CE消息指示3个SCPHeadandTail的取值,然后再根据当前信道情况向终端设备发送DCI,该DCI用于指示3个SCPHeadandTail的取值中的一个,此时,DCI仅需要2比特就可以实现指示3个SCPHeadandTail的取值中的一个。此外,由于信道情况改变,在网络设备需要指示新的SCPHeadandTail的取值时,网络设备可以向终端设备发送DCI,用以更新SCPHeadandTail的取值,此时的DCI仍可以指示3个SCPHeadandTail的取值中的一个,DCI的开销仍为2比特。因此,采用上述方法能够实现减小DCI的开销。
采用上述示例1提供的方法,通过在PUSCH的配置信元中复用已有的字段或增加新的字段来承载或指示第二信息,可以实现对每个终端设备有针对性地配置第二类型符号分量的长度,该方法灵活度较高,实现简便。
示例2:
第三类型符号分量的长度为第一预设值,第二信息仅用于确定第二类型符号分量的长度。示例性的,第二信息可以承载在带宽部分或部分带宽(bandwidth part,BWP)的配置中,例如增加新的选项,该新的选项用于承载或指示第二信息。示例性的,该新的选项可以用cyclicPrefix选项表示,cyclicPrefix选项可以指示:{extended,SCP1,SCP2,…,SCP K}中的一个,其中,extended表示ECP,SCP1~SCP K为添加的配置,K为正整数,SCP1~SCP K的含义可以通过协议预先定义,例如,SCP1~SCP K为K种第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和。也就是说,第二信息可以通过cyclicPrefix来指示,具体的,指示第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和。
可选的,cyclicPrefix选项还可以指示:{extended,SCP1,SCP2,…,SCP K}中的多个,网络设备还可以进一步指示多个cyclicPrefix选项中的一种作为终端设备使用的配置。例如,网络设备可以向终端设备发送MAC CE或DCI指示具体的cyclicPrefix选项。例如,网络设备向终端设备发送RRC消息,RRC消息包括BWP的配置,BWP的配置包括cyclicPrefix选项(也就是第二信息),cyclicPrefix选项指示SCP1,SCP2。进一步的,网络设备还可以向终端设备发送DCI,DCI指示具体的cyclicPrefix选项,例如SCP1。进而,终端设备可以根据SCP1确定第二类型符号分量的长度。具体效果可以参考上述关于网络设备指示多个SCPHeadandTail的取值的相关描述,重复之处不再赘述。
采用上述示例2提供的方法,相比现有的CP仅能在NCP和ECP中选择,示例2提供了更多种CP长度的选择,例如,SCP1,SCP2,…,SCP K,且同时能够兼容现有系统。
在第二种实现方式中,第二信息用于确定第二类型符号分量的长度和第三类型符号分量的长度。
以下结合方式1至方式4进一步说明第二信息的第二种实现方式:
方式1:第二信息可以分别指示第二类型符号分量的长度和第三类型符号分量的长度。例如,第二信息可以承载在PUSCH的配置信元(例如,PUSCH-Config)中,具体的,可以在PUSCH-Config中增加字段SCPHeadPart和SCPTailPart,用于承载或指示第二信息。示例性的,SCPHeadPart和SCPTailPart分别指示第三类型符号分量的长度或长度的索引和第二类型符号分量的长度或长度的索引。也就是说,SCPHeadPart和SCPTailPart作为第二信息指示第三类型符号分量的长度或长度的索引和第二类型符号分量的长度或长度的索引。
方式2:预配置多个组合,每个组合包括一个第二类型符号分量的长度和一个第三类型符号分量的长度,每个组合对应一个索引,该索引对应一个第二类型符号分量的长度和一个第三类型符号分量的长度,第二信息通过指示组合的索引指示一组第二类型符号分量的长度和第三类型符号分量的长度。
此外,还可以预配置多个组合,每个组合包括一个第一类型符号分量的长度、一个第二类型符号分量的长度和一个第三类型符号分量的长度,每个组合对应一个索引,该索引对应一个第一类型符号分量的长度、一个第二类型符号分量的长度和一个第三类型符号分量的长度。此时第一信息和第二信息可以作为一个信息,该信息通过指示组合的索引指示一组第一类型符号分量的长度、第二类型符号分量的长度和第三类型符号分量的长度对应的索引。
其中,组合的索引与符号分量的长度的对应关系可以提前配置给终端设备,例如以映射关系表的形式体现,当终端设备收到组合的索引时,可以直接通过查表得到对应的符号分量的长度,进一步节省信令开销。
方式3:第二信息可以指示第三类型符号分量的长度,以及第二类型符号分量的长度与NCP的长度之和。
示例性地,第二信息可以承载在PUSCH的配置信元(例如,PUSCH-Config)中,例如,在PUSCH-Config中增加新的字段,该新的字段可以承载或指示第二信息。具体的,该新的字段指示第三类型符号分量的长度以及第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和。例如,该新的字段可以用SCPHeadandTail表示,SCPHeadandTail的取值可以为(0,1,…,M)中的一个,M为大于等于2的正整数。M的大小取决于将NCP与ECP的差值均匀划分 得到的份数,以使第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和可以介于NCP和ECP之间。如图6E所示,当M=15时,NCP与ECP的差值被均匀划分8份,其中,SCPHeadandTail的取值为0~7,均表示第三类型符号分量的长度为H1,SCPHeadandTail的取值为8~15,均表示第三类型符号分量的长度为H2,其中,H1和H2为预配置或协议预定义的。在SCPHeadandTail的取值为0~7时,根据SCPHeadandTail的取值确定第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和的具体方法可以参考上述示例1的相关内容,重复之处不再赘述。在SCPHeadandTail的取值为8~15时,需要首先将SCPHeadandTail的取值转换到0~7的范围内。具体的,在SCPHeadandTail的取值为8~15时,可以先求得SCPHeadandTail的取值与8的差值,并根据该差值确定第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和。
例如,在SCPHeadandTail的取值为12时,SCPHeadandTail指示第三类型符号分量的长度为H2,SCPHeadandTail指示第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和为NCP+(12-8)/8(ECP-NCP)。在SCPHeadandTail的取值为4时,SCPHeadandTail指示第三类型符号分量的长度为H1,SCPHeadandTail指示第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和为NCP+4/8(ECP-NCP)。可见,在SCPHeadandTail的取值为12时,第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和与在SCPHeadandTail的取值为4时,第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和相同,或者描述为在SCPHeadandTail的取值为12时,第二类型符号分量的长度与在SCPHeadandTail的取值为4时,第二类型符号分量的长度相同。同理,在SCPHeadandTail的取值为8+W时,第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和与在SCPHeadandTail的取值为W时,第二类型符号分量的长度和NCP的长度之和相同,或者描述为,在SCPHeadandTail的取值为8+W时,第二类型符号分量的长度与在SCPHeadandTail的取值为W时,第二类型符号分量的长度相同,其中,1≤W≤7,W为整数。
如表2所示,当SCPHeadandTail的取值为0~7时,Dh的取值为H1,当SCPHeadandTail的取值为8~15时,Dh的取值为H2。其中,Dh对应第三类型的符号分类的长度,Dt对应第二类型符号分量的长度。例如,以表2中的第3行为例,当SCPHeadandTail的取值为1时,Dh的取值为H1,当SCPHeadandTail的取值为9时,Dh的取值为H2,当SCPHeadandTail的取值为1时Dt对应的第二类型符号分量的长度,与当SCPHeadandTail的取值为9时Dt对应的第二类型符号分量的长度相同,且Dt的第二类型符号分量的长度可以根据SCPHeadandTail的取值为1进行计算,即Dt的第二类型符号分量的长度为1/8(ECP-NCP)。

方式4:第二信息可以指示第二类型符号分量的长度和第三类型符号分量的长度之和,以及第二类型符号分量的长度;或者,第二信息可以指示第二类型符号分量的长度和第三类型符号分量的长度之和,以及第三类型符号分量的长度。
示例性地,如表3所示,假设0≤Dh+Dt≤7,Dh≤Dt,Dt的取值范围为0~7,Dh的取值范围为0~3,其中,Dh对应第三类型的符号分类的长度,Dt对应第二类型的符号分类的长度。Dh和Dt采用联合编码的方式进行指示,其中,联合编码取值范围为0~19,每个联合编码的取值对应唯一一组Dh与Dt。例如,如表3可知,当联合编码取值为3时,Dt的取值为1,Dh的取值为1,Dh+Dt=2。又例如,当联合编码取值为2时,Dt的取值为0,Dh的取值为2,Dh+Dt=2。可见,相同的Dh与Dt之和可以对应不同的联合编码的取值。示例性地,当Dh+Dt=3时,联合编码的取值可以为4或5;当Dh+Dt=4时,联合编码的取值可以为6或7或8;当Dh+Dt=5时,联合编码的取值可以为9或10或11;当Dh+Dt=6时,联合编码的取值可以为12或13或14或15;当Dh+Dt=7时,联合编码的取值可以为16或17或18或19。
又例如,假设0≤Dh+Dt≤8,Dh≤Dt,Dt的取值范围为0~7,Dh的取值范围为0~3,Dh和Dt采用联合编码的方式指示可以如表4所示;或者,假设0≤Dh+Dt≤8,Dh≤Dt,Dt的取值范围为0~8,Dh的取值范围为0~4,Dh和Dt采用联合编码的方式指示可以如表5所示。需要说明的是,关于Dh和Dt采用联合编码的方式指示不仅限于表3~表5的举例,还有其他的指示方式,例如,假设0≤Dh+Dt≤A max,Dh<=Dt,Dt的取值范围为0~B max,Dh的取值范围为0~C max可类似举例,其中B max<=A max,C max<=floor(A max/2)。
示例性地,网络设备可以为终端设备提前配置表3或表4或表5,Dt的取值与第二类型符号分量的长度的对应关系,以及Dh的取值与第三类型符号分量的长度的对应关系。网络设备向终端设备发送第二信息,第二信息指示联合编码的取值,终端设备根据联合编码的取值以及表3或表4或表5确定Dt的取值和Dh的取值,并根据Dt的取值与第二类型符号分量的长度的对应关系确定第二类型符号分量的长度,以及Dh的取值与第三类型符号分量的长度的对应关系确定第三类型符号分量的长度。
需要说明的是,上述表3或表4或表5、Dt的取值与第二类型符号分量的长度的对应关系,以及Dh的取值与第三类型符号分量的长度的对应关系可以直接存储在网络设备和终端设备,不需要信令通知;可选的,表3或表4或表5、Dt的取值与第二类型符号分量的长度的对应关系,以及Dh的取值与第三类型符号分量的长度的对应关系也可以通过网络设备信令通知给终端设备,本申请不予限制。

需要说明的是,上述第一类型符号分量的长度、第二类型符号分量的长度和第三类型符号分量的长度的配置方式仅为举例,还可以有其他的配置方式,本申请对此不作限定。
步骤510:终端设备根据第一信息和第二信息确定多个块信号,每个块信号包括多个调制符号。
其中,本申请中涉及的调制符号可以是BPSK调制符号,π/2BPSK调制符号,正交相移键控(quaternary phase shift keying,QSPK)调制符号,16QAM调制符号,64QAM调制符号,256QAM调制符号中的任意一种,本申请对此不作限定。
以下结合附图说明确定终端设备根据第一信息和第二信息确定多个块信号的具体过程:
具体的,终端设备可以根据第一信息和第二信息确定传输块的大小。
需要说明的是,由于后一个块信号需要复制前一个块信号中的部分调制符号,相比不存在块间复制的场景(又可称为NCP场景),以上行传输为例,PUSCH除了第一个OFDM符号的每个OFDM符号上的有效资源数会变少。因此,当传输总信息量(如上行数据、测量信息、反馈信息等)不变时,在块间复制的场景下,每个时频资源所承载的信息,多于在 不存在块间复制的场景下,每个时频资源所承载的信息,导致码率升高,即实际码率大于配置码率。其中,配置码率是网络设备为终端设备配置的,例如可以根据MCS查表获得。
因此,为了实际码率和配置码率的差异在一定的范围内,收发信息的两端均需要重新确定的传输块的大小,即根据有效的资源单元数(考虑为块间复制预留的资源)重新确定传输块的大小。可以理解的是,存在块间复制的场景下重新确定的传输块的大小小于不存在块间复制的场景下(例如NCP场景)确定的传输块的大小。
示例性地,终端设备确定传输块的大小可以包括以下步骤:
步骤一,终端设备可以根据第一信息和第二信息确定第一类型符号分量、第二类型符号分量和/或第三类型符号分量的长度,根据第一类型符号分量的长度可以确定第一类型符号分量包括的调制符号数,以及根据第二类型符号分量的长度确定第二类型符号分量包括的调制符号数,以及根据第三类型符号分量的长度确定第三类型符号分量包括的调制符号数。
具体的,以符号分量的长度单位为绝对时间为例,终端设备可以根据第一信息和第二信息确定第一类型符号分量的绝对时间Q1、第二类型符号分量的绝对时间Q2和第三类型符号分量的绝对时间Q3,则第一类型符号分量包括的调制符号数满足QAM1=ceil(Q1*SCS*N RB*N RE/RB),第二类型符号分量包括的调制符号数满足QAM2=ceil(Q2*SCS*N RB*N RE/RB),第三类型符号分量包括的调制符号数满足QAM3=ceil(Q3*SCS*N RB*N RE/RB)。
以符号分量的长度单位为IFFT后的采样点数为例,终端设备可以根据第一信息和第二信息确定第一类型符号分量的IFFT后的采样点数M1、第二类型符号分量的IFFT后的采样点数M2和第三类型符号分量的IFFT后的采样点数M3,则第一类型符号分量包括的调制符号数满足QAM1=ceil(M1/N fft*N RB*N RE/RB),第二类型符号分量包括的调制符号数满足QAM2=ceil(M2/N fft*N RB*N RE/RB),第三类型符号分量包括的调制符号数满足QAM3=ceil(M3/N fft*N RB*N RE/RB)。
以符号分量的长度单位为指定的FFT点数下IFFT后的采样点为例,终端设备可以根据第一信息和第二信息确定第一类型符号分量在指定的FFT点数下IFFT后的采样点数S1、第二类型符号分量在指定的FFT点数下IFFT后的采样点数S2和第三类型符号分量在指定的FFT点数下IFFT后的采样点数S3,则第一类型符号分量包括的调制符号数满足QAM1=ceil(S1/N fft-r*N RB*N RE/RB),第二类型符号分量包括的调制符号数满足QAM2=ceil(S2*/N fft-r*N RB*N RE/RB),第三类型符号分量包括的调制符号数满足QAM3=ceil(S3/N fft-r*N RB*N RE/RB)。
其中,ceil(x)表示对x向上取整,此外,向上取整还可以替换为向下取整或四舍五入。Q1、Q2、Q3单位为秒(s),N RB为分配给终端设备的调度带宽包括的资源块(Resource Block,RB)数,N RE/RB为每个RB在频域包含的RE数,一般取值为12,SCS为子载波间隔,单位为Hz,N fft表示当前BWP下实际的FFT点数,如BWP带宽为1600MHz,SCS为480kHz时,N fft为4096,N fft-r为指定的或参考的FFT点数,如2048,或4096,或512,或256。
步骤二,终端设备可以根据第一类型符号分量包括的调制符号数、第二类型符号分量包括的调制符号数和第三类型符号分量包括的调制符号数确定第一资源单元数N1,第一资源单元数N1指示一个时隙内不同块信号间的相同调制符号对应的资源单元总数。
步骤三,终端设备可以根据第二资源单元数N2和第一资源单元数N1确定传输块的大 小,第二资源单元数N2为一个时隙内用于传输第三信息的资源单元数。
其中,第三信息为终端设备需要发送给网络设备的信息。示例性地,第三信息可以为上行数据或测量信息或反馈信息,如信道质量信息(channel quality information,CQI),参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power,RSRP),发射预编码矩阵信息(transmitted precoding matrix information,TPMI),混合自动重传请求确认信息(hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgment,HARQ-ACK)等。
示例性地,假设一个时隙包括一个用于传输DMRS的符号,S个符号用于传输上行数据或测量信息或反馈信息(不包括DMRS符号)的符号,E个特殊符号(例如,特殊符号是根据包括第一类型符号分量的块信号确定的,在当前的举例中,特殊符号为第一个OFDM符号,即E=1),则整个时隙因块间重复的符号分量减少的有效资源数(即第一资源单元数)为:
N1=QAM3*(S-E)+QAM1*E+QAM2*S
N2为一个时隙内S个符号对应的资源单元数。其中,N2可以参考现有协议中的定义,具体可以参考协议38.214的5.1.2.3节内容。
示例性地,在终端设备根据第二资源单元数N2和第一资源单元数N1确定传输块的大小时,终端设备可以采用但不限于以下方式:
方式1:终端设备根据第二资源单元数N2与第一资源单元数N1的差值确定传输块的大小。采用方式1,在计算传输块的大小时考虑为块间复制预留的资源,可以保证码率与配置码率的差异在一定范围内,进而保证解调性能。第二资源单元数N2与第一资源单元数N1的差值为有效的资源单元数,也可以理解为去掉块间复制预留的资源后的资源单元数。
方式2:终端设备根据第二资源单元数N2和第一量化值的差值确定传输块的大小,第一量化值是第一资源单元数N1按照预设间隔量化后得到的。第二资源单元数N2与第一量化值的差值为有效的资源单元数。
示例性地,第一量化值为q(N1),其中,q(N1)表示对N1按预设间隔量化,q(N1)满足0<=q(N1)<=N1。例如,q(N1)可以为floor(N1/△N)*△N,floor(...)表示向下取整,△N为预设量化间隔,当N1=670,预设量化间隔△N是45时,q(N1)取值为630。当N1=635,预设间隔△N是45时,q(N1)取值为630。
采用方式2可以在计算传输块的大小时考虑为块间复制预留的资源,同时对收发端双方计算N2预留一定的容差范围,在码率提升和传输块减少之间取得较好的折中,同时,还可以允许收发端双方计算N2时有一定的误差。
在确定传输块的大小之后,以下结合图2B说明生成多个块信号的过程:
信源比特生成模块:用于根据传输块的大小将第三信息生成原始信源比特;
编码模块:用于对原始信源比特添加冗余码、校验码等;
QAM调制模块:用于将编码后的比特按调制阶数映射成调制符号;
映射/排列模块:用于将调制符号按映射或排列为多个块信号,或者称之为串并转换。示例性地,QAM调制模块将调制符号按顺序依次映射至块,并完成串并转换,如图7的左图所示,从上至下的箭头表示在一个块内调制符号按照从上往下的顺序依次映射,从左往右的虚线箭头表示多个块之间调制符号的映射过程,即在一个块内的调制信号映射完成后,继续向与该块相邻的右侧的块中映射调制符号。其中黑色粗线部分表示预留给复制操 作的资源或位置,不映射QAM调制符号。在完成调制符号到块的映射后,执行复制操作,即将一个块的部分调制符号复制至相邻的另一个块上,本申请中的复制操作是指“前向复制”,即复制前一个块的调制符号至后一个块。如图7右图所示,箭头1指示的方向表示块1上第一类型符号分量(也就是DMRS块中左斜线所示的阴影部分)被复制到块2上,箭头2指示的方向表示块1上第二类型符号分量(也就是DMRS块中交叉线所示的阴影部分)被复制到块2上,箭头3指示的方向表示块2上第三类型符号分量(也就是数据块0上竖线所示的阴影部分)被复制到块3上,箭头4指示的方向表示块2上第二类型符号分量(也就是数据块0上交叉线所示的阴影部分)被复制到块3上。箭头5指示的方向表示块3上第三类型符号分量(也就是数据块1上竖线所示的阴影部分)被复制到块4上,箭头6指示的方向表示块3上第二类型符号分量(也就是数据块1上交叉线所示的阴影部分)被复制到块4上。
其中,多个块信号具有以下特征:第1个块信号包括第一类型符号分量和第二类型符号分量,第2个块信号包括与第1个块信号中第一类型符号分量和第二类型符号分量相同的调制符号,第k+1个块信号包括与第k个块信号中第二类型符号分量和第三类型符号分量相同的调制符号,k≥2,k为整数。
示例性地,第一类型符号分量为第1个块信号中的前X个调制符号,在第2个块信号中,与第1个块信号中第一类型符号分量相同的调制符号的起始调制符号与第2个块信号的最后一个调制符号相差m-1个调制符号,其中,m的取值是根据NCP的持续时间确定的,m>1,X>1,X为整数,m为整数。其中,m个调制符号的持续时间与NCP的持续时间相同或近似相等。示例性地,m个调制符号的持续时间与NCP的持续时间近似相等可以理解为m个调制符号的持续时间与NCP的持续时间的差值小于预设阈值。
为了描述简便,在第2个块信号中,与第1个块信号中第一类型符号分量相同的调制符号记为第2个块信号中的符号分量P,第2个块信号中的符号分量P的起始调制符号与第2个块信号的最后一个调制符号相差m-1个调制符号,还可以描述为,第2个块信号中的符号分量P的起始符号与第2个块信号的最后一个调制符号间隔m-2个调制符号,其中,这m-2个调制符号不包括第2个块信号中的符号分量P的起始调制符号,也不包括第2个块信号的最后一个调制符号,m-2>=0。
第k-1个块信号中的第二类型符号分量为第k-1个块信号中的最后Y个调制符号,在第k块信号中,与第k-1个块信号中第二类型符号分量相同的调制符号的结束调制符号与第k块信号的最后一个调制符号相差m个调制符号,Y≥1,Y为整数。为了描述简便,在第k个块信号中,与第k-1个块信号中第二类型符号分量相同的调制符号记为第k个块信号中的符号分量Q,第k个块信号中的符号分量Q的结束调制符号与第k个块信号的最后一个调制符号相差m个调制符号,还可以描述为,第k个块信号中的符号分量Q的结束调制符号与第k个块信号的最后一个调制符号间隔m-1个调制符号,其中,这m-1个调制符号不包括第k个块信号中的符号分量Q的结束调制符号,也不包括第k个块信号的最后一个调制符号,m-1>=0。
第k块信号中的第三类型符号分量为第k块信号中的前Z个调制符号,Z<X,Z≥1,Z为整数,在第k+1个块信号中,与第k个块信号中第三类型符号分量相同的调制符号的起始调制符号与第k+1个符号的最后一个调制符号相差m-1个调制符号。为了描述简便,在第k+1个块信号中,与第k个块信号中第三类型符号分量相同的调制符号记为第k+1个 块信号中的符号分量R,第k+1个块信号中的符号分量R的起始调制符号与第k+1个块信号的最后一个调制符号相差m-1个调制符号,还可以描述为,第k+1个块信号中的符号分量R的起始调制符号与第k+1个块信号的最后一个调制符号间隔m-2个调制符号,其中,这m-2个调制符号不包括第k+1个块信号中的符号分量R的起始调制符号,也不包括第k+1个块信号的最后一个调制符号,m-2>=0。
如图8所示,以3个块信号为例说明本申请实施例中获得的块信号的具体结构。
每个块信号中的分界点A与B之间包含m个调制符号,B点为每个块信号的最后一个调制符号的结束位置。其中,m个调制符号的持续时间与NCP的持续时间相同,也可以理解为NCP持续时间对应的调制符号数为m,即每个块的分界点A为CP起始位置对应的调制符号的位置。
其中,第1个块信号的头部边框对应的符号分量为第一类型符号分量(对应图8中的dH0),第一个块信号的尾部边框对应的符号分量为第二类型符号分量(对应图8中的dT0)。
第1个块信号中的第一类型符号分量被复制至第2个块信号的分界点A的右边,即为第2个块信号中的符号分量P,第2个块信号中的符号分量P的起始调制符号与第2个块信号的最后一个调制符号相差m-1个调制符号。第2个块信号中的符号分量P的起始调制符号是指在第2个块信号中A点右侧的第一个调制符号。例如,第2个块信号中的符号分量P的起始调制符号为第2个块信号中的第n+1个调制符号,第2个块信号中的最后一个调制符号为第2个块信号中的第m+n个调制符号,则第2个块信号中的符号分量P的起始调制符号与第2个块信号的最后一个调制符号相差[(m+n)-(n+1)]个调制符号。
第1个块信号中的第二类型符号分量被复制至第2个块信号的分界点A的左边,即为第2个块信号中的符号分量Q,第2个块信号中的符号分量Q的结束调制符号与第2个块信号的最后一个调制符号相差m个调制符号。第2个块信号中的符号分量Q的结束调制符号是指在第2个块信号中A点左侧的第一个调制符号。例如,第2个块信号中的符号分量Q的结束调制符号为第2个块信号中的第n个调制符号,第2个块信号中的最后一个调制符号为第2个块信号中的第m+n个调制符号,则第2个块信号中的符号分量Q的起始调制符号与第2个块信号的最后一个调制符号相差[(m+n)-n]个调制符号。
因此,第2个块信号中的符号分量Q的结束调制符号与第2个块信号中的符号分量P的起始调制符号为相邻的调制符号。
类似地,第2个块信号的头部边框对应的符号分量为第三类型符号分量(对应图8中的dH1),第2个块信号的尾部边框对应的符号分量为第二类型符号分量(对应图8中的dT1)。
第2个块信号中的第三类型符号分量被复制至第3个块信号的分界点A的右边,即为第三个块信号中的符号分量R,第3个块信号中的符号分量R的起始调制符号与第3个块信号的最后一个调制符号相差m-1个调制符号。第3个块信号中的符号分量R的起始调制符号是指在第3个块信号中A点右侧的第一个调制符号。
第2个块信号中的第二类型符号分量被复制至第3个块信号的分界点A的左边,即为第3个块信号中的符号分量Q,第3个块信号中的符号分量Q的结束调制符号与第3个块信号的最后一个调制符号相差m个调制符号。
步骤520:终端设备对多个块信号中的每个块信号进行处理,得到与块信号对应的OFDM符号。
其中,终端设备对多个块信号中的每个块信号进行处理,可以是指每个块信号需要依次执行如下操作:DFT、RE映射、IFFT、添加CP。具体可以参阅图2B所示的相关内容,重复之处不再赘述。
如图9所示为图8所示块信号经DFT、RE映射、IFFT处理后得到OFDM符号,并为OFDM符号添加CP后的时域符号示意图,其中,虚线框表示等效CP对应的信号。
由前述分析可知,图9中粗虚线框对应的信号相同,使得粗实线箭头时间范围内对应的所有信号实现首尾循环特性,且循环长度为NCP的长度与尾部边框对应的信号的长度(即第二类型符号分量的长度)之和,即相当于等效CP持续时间相比于NCP延长了第二类型符号分量对应的持续时间,第二个符号的等效CP的持续时间即一个粗线框的持续时间。因此,当多个终端设备经历的信道有不同时延时,可以通过给多个终端设备配置或设置不同长度的第二类型符号分量的长度,实现持续时间或长度灵活可调的等效CP。
其中,这里的等效CP与上述第二信息指示的第二类型符号分量的长度与NCP的长度之和的含义相同,可以互相参考。
其中,第二类型符号分量用于实现灵活的等效CP,且相比NCP有更长的长度,第一类型符号分量和第三类型符号分量用于保证接收窗(图9中粗虚线箭头时间范围)边缘的相位连续性,使得接收窗边缘的信号相位平滑过渡,不影响邻道泄漏功率比(adjacent channel leakage power ratio,ACLR)的性能。
进一步的,由于第一类型符号分量的长度大于第三类型符号分量长度,可以通过延迟第1个OFDM符号对应的接收窗,使得经历径P到达的第1个OFDM符号的接收信号也能被接收窗完整接收,同时保证经历第一条径到达的接收信号也能被完整接收,以降低超过NCP长度的径对第1个OFDM符号的性能的影响。其中,径P与第一条径的时延差大于NCP的持续时间,此外,径P与第一条径的功率差小于或等于指定阈值P thdB(P p-P 1<=P thdB)或大于或等于-P thdB(P p-P 1>=-P thdB)。其中,P 1为第一条径的平均功率,P p为径P的平均功率,P th的取值可以为15。
此外,需要说明的是,由于上述获取灵活CP的复制操作仅在时隙内的符号间执行,即不会将当前时隙的信号复制至到下一个时隙,也不会将当前时隙的信号复制至前一个时隙。
步骤530:终端设备发送OFDM符号。
示例性地,终端设备可以依次对多个块信号中的每个块信号进行处理,得到与该块信号对应的OFDM符号,并发送该OFDM符号,即每次得到一个OFDM符号就发送一个OFDM符号,不必等待其他块信号处理完成后,与其他信号分别对应的OFDM符号一起发送。或者,终端设备依次对多个块信号中的每个块信号进行处理,得到多个块信号分别对应的OFDM符号,终端设备按时间顺序依次发送多个块信号分别对应的OFDM符号。
步骤540:网络设备确定多个OFDM符号中的每个OFDM符号对应的接收窗。
其中,每个OFDM符号对应的接收窗是指每个OFDM符号对应的FFT接收窗。
网络设备可以采用但不限于以下方式确定第1个OFDM符号对应的接收窗:
方式A:网络设备可以根据第一类型符号分量的长度确定第1个OFDM符号对应的接收窗,第1个OFDM符号对应的接收窗的起始点与第一类型符号分量的长度关联。
示例性地,第1个OFDM符号对应的接收窗的起始点可以为第1个OFDM符号中与第一类型符号分量的最后一个调制符号关联的采样点。如图10所示,第1个OFDM符号 的FFT接收窗相较于常规的FFT接收窗(如虚线框所示)整体延迟了△t1,对应N delay1个IFFT后(或者FFT前)的采样点。其中,△t1和N delay1个IFFT后(或者FFT前)的采样点是根据第一类型符号分量的长度确定的。
方式B:网络设备可以根据第一类型符号分量的长度和第三类型符号分量的长度之差确定第1个OFDM符号对应的第1个接收窗,第1个OFDM符号对应的接收窗的起始点与第一类型符号分量的长度和第三类型符号分量的长度之差关联。
示例性地,第1个接收窗的起始点可以为第1个OFDM符号中与第一类型符号分量的长度和与第三类型符号分量的长度的差值的关联的采样点。第1个OFDM符号的FFT接收窗相较于常规的FFT接收窗整体延迟了△t2,对应N delay2个IFFT后(或者FFT前)的采样点。其中,△t2和N delay2个IFFT后(或者FFT前)的采样点是根据第一类型符号分量的长度和与第三类型符号分量的长度的差值确定的。其中,△t1>△t2,N delay1>N delay2
方式C:网络设备根据第一类型符号分量的长度或第一类型符号分量的长度与第三类型符号分量的长度之差确定多个候选接收窗,网络设备根据预设参数从多个候选接收窗中选择其中一个作为第1个OFDM符号对应的接收窗。
示例性地,多个候选接收窗的起始点中的任意两个相邻的起始点的间隔为△T个采样点,△T为预设值,△T为正整数。其中,预设参数可以包括但不限于噪声功率,误码率,误比特率最低,QAM解调信号的方差(mean squared error,MSE)中的一个或多个。因此,网络设备可以通过多个第1个OFDM符号对应的接收窗分别得到的信号,选择其中噪声功率最小,或误码率或误比特率最低,或QAM解调信号的方差最小的信号所对应的接收窗作为最终确定的第1个OFDM符号对应的接收窗。
例如,针对第1个OFDM符号确定一个滑动FFT接收窗,从常规的FFT接收窗开始,第k次延迟k*△T个IFFT后(或者FFT前)的采样点,△T为滑动FFT接收窗的滑动步长。其中,△T可以根据N delay1确定,△T=N delay1/S,S为滑动次数,其中,滑动FFT接收窗可以不包括常规的FFT接收窗,假设S=3,第1个滑动接收窗为常规的FFT的接收窗延迟N delay1/3个IFFT后(或者FFT前)的采样点,第2个滑动接收窗为常规的FFT的接收窗延迟2N delay1/3个IFFT后(或者FFT前)的采样点,第3个滑动接收窗为常规的FFT的接收窗延迟N delay1个IFFT后(或者FFT前)的采样点。然后,网络设备从其中选择最优的性能的FFT接收窗作为第1个OFDM符号对应的FFT接收窗,例如,通过该最优的性能的FFT接收窗得到的信号的噪声功率最小,误码率或误比特率最低或QAM解调信号的方差最小。或者,网络设备选择首个能够正确解调第1个OFDM符号的FFT接收窗,例如,网络设备可以根据k的取值从小到大的顺序确定的能够正确解调第1个OFDM符号的第一个FFT接收窗作为第1个OFDM符号对应的FFT接收窗。
可以理解的是,上述方式C还可应用于第一类型符号分量的长度与第三类型符号分量的长度相同的场景。
如前分析可知,如果是常规的接收窗,会导致经历径P(与第一条径的时延超过NCP的径)到达的第1个OFDM符号的部分信号落在接收窗外,同时会有一部分经历径P到达的上一个时隙的部分信号落入接收窗内,影响第1个OFDM符号的性能。而采用本申请提供方法可以使得经历径P到达的第1个OFDM符号的接收信号也能被第1个OFDM符号对应的接收窗完整接收,以降低超过NCP长度的径对第1个OFDM符号的性能的影响。
除第1个OFDM符号之外的OFDM符号,网络设备可以根据NCP的持续时间确定每 个OFDM符号对应的接收窗。其中,第1个OFDM符号对应的接收窗的结束点与第2个OFDM符号对应的接收窗的起始点的间隔为T1个采样点,第k个OFDM符号对应的接收窗的结束点与第k+1个OFDM符号对应的接收窗的起始点的间隔为T2个采样点,T1<T2,T1和T2为正整数。可以理解为,由于第1个OFDM符号对应的接收窗的延迟,使得第1个OFDM符号对应的接收窗的结束点与第2个OFDM符号对应的接收窗的起始点的间隔(以下简称为第1个OFDM符号对应的接收窗与第2个OFDM符号对应的接收窗之间的间隔)小于其他相邻接收窗之间的间隔。
步骤550:网络设备根据每个OFDM符号对应的接收窗获取每个OFDM符号的解调信号。
可以理解的是,网络设备在确定每个OFDM符号对应的接收窗之后,可以获得根据每个OFDM符号对应的接收窗确定去CP后的OFDM符号,然后以OFDM符号为单位执行FFT操作,即获取每个OFDM符号的OFDM解调信号,并继续后续的信道均衡、DFT操作,得到以块为单位的接收信号。
进一步地,网络设备根据第一类型符号分量、第二类型符号分量以及第三类型符号分量解调每个块信号的接收信号,获得接收比特信息。
根据前文的描述可知,存在一部分信号在整个时隙上传输了两次,如在第k个块信号和第k+1个块信号上各传输一次。但是,需要说明的是,由于信号在传输过程中受到干扰,第1个块信号的接收信号中对应第一类型符号分量和第二类型符号分量的接收信号与第1个块信号中的第一类型符号分量和第二类型符号分量并非完全相同。同理,由于信号在传输过程中受到干扰,虽然第2个块信号包括与第1个块信号中第一类型符号分量和第二类型符号分量相同的调制符号,但是第2个块信号的接收信号中对应第1个块信号中第一类型符号分量的接收信号,以及对应第1个块信号的第二类型符号分量的接收信号,并非与第1个块信号的接收信号中对应第一类型符号分量的接收信号和对应第二类型符号分量的接收信号完全相同。
可以理解的是,由上文可知,对于发送端,块信号包括多个调制信号,相应的,对于接收端,块信号的接收信号包括与多个调制信号分别对应的接收信号。一般地,在信号传输过程中,不会改变块信号中多个调制符号的排列顺序,因此,块信号的接收信号中与多个调制信号分别对应的接收信号排列顺序与块信号中多个调制符号的排列顺序保持一致,例如,块信号中多个调制符号的排列顺序为调制符号1,调制符号2,调制符号3,则块信号的接收信号中与多个调制信号分别对应的接收信号排列顺序为调制符号1对应的接收信号,调制符号2对应的接收信号,调制符号3对应的接收信号。
例如,接收信号表示为A(i,t)=x(i,t)+n(i,t),x(i,t)为发射端(例如,终端设备)发送的第t个块信号中的第i个QAM调制符号,n(i,t)表示接收端(例如,网络设备)接收到的第t个块信号的接收信号中的在第i个QAM调制符号上对应的噪声;A(i,t)表示第t个块信号的接收信号中对应第i个QAM调制符号的接收信号。
由于不同块信号的接收信号中不同QAM调制符号上的噪声不同,导致在不同块信号的接收信号中对应同一个QAM调制符号的接收信号不同。
为了描述方便,这里将第1个块信号中的第一类型符号分量和第二类型符号分量,记为A 1,第2个块信号中与第1个块信号中的第一类型符号分量和第二类型符号分量相同的QAM调制符号,记为B 1,第1个块信号的接收信号中对应A 1的接收信号,记为A 1 *,第 2个块信号的接收信号中对应B 1的接收信号,记为B 1 *。其中,A 1与B 1相同,由于信号在传输过程中受到干扰和噪声影响,A 1 *与A 1不同,B 1 *与B 1不同,A 1 *与B 1 *不同。
同理,将第k(k>1)个块信号中的第三类型符号分量和第二类型符号分量,记为A k,第k+1个块信号中与第k个块信号中的第三类型符号分量和第二类型符号分量相同的调制符号,记为B k,第k个块信号的接收信号中对应A k的接收信号,记为A k *,第k+1个块信号的接收信号中对应B k的接收信号,记为B k *。其中,A k与B k相同,由于信号在传输过程中受到干扰和噪声影响,A k *与A k不同,B k *与B k不同,A k *与B k *不同。
因此,在恢复出以块为单位的接收信号后,可以采用但不限于以下几种方式对块信号的接收信号进行解映射:
方式1:
网络设备根据A 1 *进行解映射,其中,A 1 *用于对A 1的解调;
网络设备根据A k *进行解映射,其中,A k *用于对A k的解调。
示例性地,在确定多个块信号的接收信号之后,块间以块的接收时间顺序,块内按发射端QAM调制符号的映射顺序依次将多个块信号的接收信号块上的对应QAM调制信号的接收信号解映射(并串转换),其中,在解映射时,依次跳过B 1 *、B 2 *、…B k *…B L *。其中,L为一个时隙内块信号的接收信号的总数。进一步地,根据解映射后的对应QAM调制信号的接收信号进一步完成解调,获取接收比特信息。其中,根据A k *解映射后对应QAM调制信号的接收信号完成对A k的解调,即将A k *解映射得到的信号放置序列S rx中,A k *解映射得到的信号在S rx中的位置与A k对应的QAM调制符号在序列S tx中的位置相同,其中S rx表示解映射整个时隙的块信号得到的信号组成的序列,S tx表示整个时隙上待映射为块信号的所有QAM调制符号组成的序列。
方式2:
网络设备根据B 1 *进行解映射,其中,B 1 *用于对A 1的解调;
网络设备根据B k *进行解映射,其中,B k *用于对A k的解调。
示例性地,在确定多个块信号的接收信号之后,将第k个块上的信号更新A k *为B k *,然后块间以块的接收时间为顺序,块内按发射端QAM调制符号的映射顺序依次将多个块信号的接收信号块上的对应QAM调制信号的接收信号解映射(并串转换),其中,在解映射时,依次跳过B 1 *、B 2 *、…B k *…B L *。其中,L为一个时隙内块信号的接收信号的总数。进一步地,根据解映射后的对应QAM调制信号的接收信号进一步完成解调,获取接收比特信息。其中,根据更新后的A k *解映射后对应QAM调制信号的接收信号完成对A k的解调,即将更新后的A k *解映射得到的信号放置序列S rx中,更新后的A k *解映射得到的信号在S rx中的位置与A k对应的QAM调制符号在序列Sqam中的位置相同,其中S rx表示解映射整个时隙的块信号得到的信号组成的序列,S tx表示整个时隙上待映射为块信号的所有QAM调制符号组成的序列。
因此,上述方式1和方式2表明仅需要解调一次相同的信息内容对应的调制符号的接收信号,不需要解调两次,进而可以提升解调效率。
方式3:
网络设备根据A 1 *与B 1 *的平均值进行解映射,其中,A 1 *与B 1 *的平均值用于对A1的解调;
网络设备根据A k *与B k *的平均值进行解映射,其中,A k *与B k *的平均值用于对A k的 解调。
可以理解的是,这里的平均值还可以替换为加权平均值等,本申请对此不作限定。
示例性地,在确定多个块信号的接收信号之后,以第k个块信号的接收信号为例,第k个块信号的接收信号上的A k *更新为:A k *与B k *的平均值,剩余步骤与方式1同,即块间以块的接收时间为顺序,块内按发射端QAM调制符号的映射顺序依次将多个块信号的接收信号块上的对应QAM调制信号的接收信号解映射(并串转换),其中,在解映射时,依次跳过B 1 *、B 2 *、…B k *…B L *。其中,L为一个时隙内块信号的接收信号的总数。进一步地,根据解映射后的对应QAM调制信号的接收信号进一步完成解调,获取接收比特信息。其中,根据更新后的A k *解映射后对应QAM调制信号的接收信号完成对A k的解调,即将更新后的A k *解映射得到的信号放置序列S rx中,更新后的A k *解映射得到的信号在S rx中的位置与A k对应的QAM调制符号在序列S tx中的位置相同,其中S rx表示解映射整个时隙的块信号得到的信号组成的序列,S tx表示整个时隙上待映射为块信号的所有QAM调制符号组成的序列。
因此,上述方式3结合两部分对应相同的信息内容的调制符号的接收信号进行解调,可以提升解调的成功率。
方式4:在网络设备确定第1个块信号的接收信号的噪声功率低于第2个块信号的接收信号的噪声功率时,网络设备根据A 1 *进行解映射,在网络设备确定第1个块信号的接收信号的噪声功率高于第2个块信号的接收信号的噪声功率时,网络设备根据B 1 *进行解映射,如在解映射前,将A 1 *更新为B 1 *。其中,A 1 *和B 1 *用于对A 1的解调。
在网络设备确定第k个块信号的接收信号的噪声功率低于第k+1个块信号的接收信号的噪声功率时,网络设备根据A k *进行解映射,在网络设备确定第k个块信号的接收信号的噪声功率高于第k+1个块信号的接收信号的噪声功率时,网络设备根据B k *进行解映射,如在解映射前,将A k *更新为B k *。其中,A k *和B k *用于对A k的解调。
因此,上述方式4选择噪声功率较低的那部分调制符号的接收信号进行解调,可以提升解调的成功率。
需要说明的是,上述方式1至方式4还需同时更新第k个块信号对应A k *(k>=1)的补偿因子(用于译码)。每一种的补偿因子更新均与解调方式对应。
方式1:不更新A k *的补偿因子,即保留均衡过程中基于A k *的补偿因子为最终的补偿因子。
方式2:将A k *的补偿因子更新为B k *对应的补偿因子。
方式3:将A k *的补偿因子更新为A k*与B k *的平均值对应的补偿因子。
方式4:在第k个块信号的接收信号的噪声功率低于第k+1个块信号的接收信号的噪声功率时,不更新A k *的补偿因子,在第k个块信号的接收信号的噪声功率高于第k+1个块信号的接收信号的噪声功率时,将A k *的补偿因子更新为B k *对应的补偿因子。
进一步地,网络设备可以采用与终端设备相同的方式确定传输块的大小,并基于传输块的大小确定冗余码、校验码等信息,并基于这些信息完成接收比特信息的译码。
采用本申请实施例提供的方法,可以实现第1个OFDM符号对应的接收窗相较于常规接收窗向后延迟,使得经历径P达到的第1个OFDM符号的信号均可以完整落入第1个接收窗内,降低第1个OFDM符号上的符号间干扰,当第1个OFDM符号是DMRS符号时,保障了基于DMRS估计的信道的估计精度,进而保证了解调性能。
此外,在一些实施例中,通过在第1个块信号上预留第四类型的符号分量,其中,第四类型的符号分量的结束调制符号与第1个块信号的最后一个调制符号相差m个调制符号,m的取值是根据NCP的持续时间确定的,m>1,第四类型的符号分量的位置类似于复制前一个OFDM符号对应的第二类型符号分量的位置,其中,第四类型的符号分量不映射信号。采用上述方法使得在常规接收窗下,不丢失第1个OFDM符号经历径P到达的有用信息。另外,还可以在上一个时隙的最后一个OFDM符号对应第二类型符号分量的位置,不映射信号,以避免其对下一个时隙的第一个符号的影响。此时,所有符号可以有相同长度的头部分量和尾部分量,即此时第一类型符号分量的长度与第三类型符号分量的长度相同。
上述在第1个OFDM符号上预留第四类型的符号分量的方案还可以直接应用于非DMRS的信号,当第1个OFDM符号是DMRS信号时,可以通过设计特殊的DMRS序列,使得其在图11中黑色粗线框对应位置的信号功率较低,达到类似的目的。此外,在图11所示实施例中,接收窗0为常规的FFT接收窗。此外,接收窗0的起始点还可以位于dH0的最后的一个调制符号对应的采样点。或者,接收窗0的起始点还可以位于CP的最后的一个调制符号对应的采样点至dH0的最后的一个调制符号对应的采样点之间的任意一个采样点。
此外,可以理解的是,上述图5所示实施例提供的方法,也可以应用于网络设备向终端设备发送OFDM符号,这里仅以终端设备向网络设备发送OFDM符号为例进行说明。
