Description

一种用于天线切换的探测参考信号SRS触发方法及其装置 技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种用于天线切换的探测参考信号SRS触发方法及其装置。
背景技术
第五代(5th Generation，5G)移动通信系统中，终端设备支持用于SRS(Sounding Reference Signal，探测参考信号)的天线切换传输方式(SRS antenna switching)包括：1T2R；2T4R；1T4R或T＝R等，根据SRS发送周期的不同，SRS可以分为周期性发送、半持续发送和非周期触发送，SRS天线切换传输适用于上下行具有互易性的场景，用于网络设备获取下行信道信息。例如，为了适用当前业务或者场景，终端设备可能需要改变天线配置，比如从2T4R降低为1T4R或者2T2R，或者从2T2R改变为4T4R的情况，这时就需要使用不同的功能为“天线切换”的SRS资源配置用于下行CSI(Channel State Information，信道状态信息)的获取。
在R17版本的SRS增强中，天线数目会增加到6Rx或8Rx，天线切换支持的场景更多，对应SRS配置更为复杂。R15或R16版本并不支持BWP(Bandwidth Part，带宽部分)内灵活动态的天线切换配置，如果引入动态的天线切换配置方案后，触发问题变得更加复杂。因此需要考虑对于多种功能包括多种天线切换配置的SRS触发的相关方法。

具体实施方式
下面详细描述本公开的实施例，所述实施例的示例在附图中示出，其中自始至终相同或类似的标号表示相同或类似的元件或具有相同或类似功能的元件。下面通过参考附图描述的实施例是示例性的，旨在用于解释本公开，而不能理解为对本公开的限制。其中，在本公开的描述中，除非另有说明，“/”表示或的意思，例如，A/B可以表示A或B；本文中的“和/或”仅仅是一种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这三种情况。
需要说明的是，本文中“SRS资源配置”是指网络设备安排要让终端设备遵从的SRS资源参数值；“SRS触发”是指网络设备将网络设备配置的SRS资源参数值通过控制信令传递给终端设备的动作。
在5G NR系统中上行SRS可以是周期、半持续或非周期SRS，窄带或宽带，单端口或多端口。上行SRS参数由网络设备向终端设备可以配置包括端口数目、频域资源位置、时域资源位置、序列、序列循环偏移量等。如图1所示，在5G NR系统中，SRS在一个上行时隙的最多六个符号上映射。例如，网络设备为终端设备可以配置多个上行SRS集合，一 个资源集合包含一个或者多个SRS资源。一个SRS资源可以在N个连续OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing：正交频分复用)符号上，N可以占用1,2,4个符号。
可以理解，NR系统中支持gNB(基站)侧通过信道互易获取下行信道信息以提高下行数据传输性能。为了支持各种终端收发能力下gNB也能通过信道互易有效获取下行信息，NR系统特别设计了SRS参考信号。目前R15/16定义的终端的收发能力可以分为收发天线数目相同(T＝R)以及收天线多于发天线(R>T)，主要有一发一收(1T1R)、两发两收(2T2R)、四发四收(4T4R)；收天线多于发天线主要有几种情况：一发两收(1T2R)、一发四收(1T4R)、两发四收(2T4R)。
对于不同的天线配置，SRS资源配置情况也各不相同，比如下面将给出几种示例：
1)对于收发天线数相同(T＝R)终端，gNB可以最多配置两个SRS资源集合，在一个集合中只有一个SRS资源其中端口数等于终端的发送天线数。两个SRS资源集合中一个可以配置为周期，另一个可以配置为非周期。
2)对于一发两收(1T2R)能力的终端，gNB可以最多配置两个SRS资源集合，在一个集合中有两个SRS资源、每个SRS资源仅有一个端口。
3)对于两发四收(2T4R)能力的终端，gNB可以最多配置两个SRS资源集合，在一个集合中有两个SRS资源、每个SRS资源有两个端口。
4)对于一发四收(1T4R)能力的终端，gNB配置SRS资源需要特殊考虑，周期或半持续SRS资源最多只能配置一个资源集合，其中有4个SRS资源各有1个端口；为非周期SRS资源最多可以配置2个SRS资源集合、两个SRS资源集合里一共有4个SRS资源，而这4个资源在两个slot内发送且这4个资源由不同的物理天线发送。两个资源集合可以每个集合各配置2个资源，或一个集合1个另一个集合3个资源，每个资源只有1端口。
网络设备(如基站)通常是基于终端设备的UE能力上报来为终端配置SRS资源。不同版本的终端所支持的UE能力也会不同。例如，R15版本终端支持的UE能力为：t1r2,t1r4,t2r4,t1r4-t2r4,t1r1,t2r2,t4r4；R16版本终端支持的UE能力为：t1r1-t1r2,t1r1-t1r2-t1r4,t1r1-t1r2-t2r2-t2r4,t1r1-t1r2-t2r2-t1r4-t2r4,t1r1-t2r2,t1r1-t2r2-t4r4。
目前在R17版本的研究中，考虑终端设备的天线数有进一步增加的需求，因此会进一步增加天线数目到最大6天线或者最大8天线。目前定义的典型的天线配置为{1T6R,1T8R,2T6R,2T8R,[4T6R],4T8R}，如下表1所示。
表1：最多到8天线的SRS天线切换配置组合
Tx\Rx 6Rx 8Rx
1T 1T6R 1T8R
2T 2T6R 2T8R
4T 4T6R 4T8R
为了适用当前业务或者场景，终端设备可能需要改变天线配置，例如从2T4R降低为1T4R或者2T2R，或者从2T2R改变为4T4R的情况，这时就需要使用不同的功能为“天线切换”的SRS资源配置用于下行CSI的获取。
在R17版本的SRS增强中，天线数目会增加到6/8Rx,天线切换支持的场景更多，对应SRS配置更为复杂。
当终端设备天线数增加，其中一种用于天线切换配置的SRS就可能需要包含最多4个SRS资源集合，当前的SRS triggering request(触发请求)为3个codepoint(码点)，同时还需要考虑其他功能usage(如“码本”，“非码本”，“波束管理”)的SRS触发。
R15/16版本并不支持BWP内灵活动态的天线切换配置，如果引入动态的天线切换配置方案后，触发问题变得更加复杂。因此需要考虑对于多种功能包括多种天线切换配置的SRS触发的相关方法。
基于上述问题，本申请提供了一种用于天线切换的探测参考信号SRS触发方法。为了更好的理解本申请实施例公开的一种用于天线切换的探测参考信号SRS触发方法，下面首先对本申请实施例使用的通信系统进行描述。
请参见图2，图2为本申请实施例提供的一种通信系统的架构示意图。该通信系统可以包括但不限于一个终端设备和一个网络设备，图2所示的设备数量和形态仅用于举例并不构成对本申请实施例的限定，实际应用中可以包括两个或两个以上的终端设备，两个或两个以上的网络设备。图2所示的通信系统以包括一个网络设备201和一个终端设备202为例。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统。例如：长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)系统、第五代(5th generation，5G)移动通信系统、5G新空口(new radio，NR)系统，或者其他未来的新型移动通信系统等。
本申请实施例中的网络设备201是网络侧的一种用于发射或接收信号的实体。例如，网络设备201可以为演进型基站(evolved NodeB，eNB)、传输点(transmission reception point，TRP)、NR系统中的下一代基站(next generation NodeB，gNB)、其他未来移动通信系统中的基站或无线保真(wireless fidelity，WiFi)系统中的接入节点等。本申请的实施例对网络设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。本申请实施例提供的网络设备可以是由集中单元(central unit，CU)与分布式单元(distributed unit，DU)组成的，其中，CU也可以称为控制单元(control unit)，采用CU-DU的结构可以将网络设备，例如基站的协议层拆分开，部分协议层的功能放在CU集中控制，剩下部分或全部协议层的功能分布在DU中，由CU集中控制DU。
本申请实施例中的终端设备201是用户侧的一种用于接收或发射信号的实体，如手机。终端设备也可以称为终端设备(terminal)、用户设备(user equipment，UE)、移动台(mobile station，MS)、移动终端设备(mobile terminal，MT)等。终端设备可以是具备通信功能的汽车、智能汽车、手机(mobile phone)、穿戴式设备、平板电脑(Pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)终端设备、增强现实(augmented reality，AR)终端设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端设备、无人驾驶(self-driving)中的无线终端设备、远程手术(remote medical surgery)中的无线终端设备、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端设备、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端设备、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端设备、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端设备等等。本申请的实施例对终端设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。
可以理解的是，本申请实施例描述的通信系统是为了更加清楚的说明本申请实施例的技术方案，并不构成对于本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定，本领域普通技术人员可知， 随着系统架构的演变和新业务场景的出现，本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题，同样适用。
下面结合附图对本申请所提供的用于天线切换的探测参考信号SRS触发方法及其装置进行详细地介绍。
请参见图3，图3是本申请实施例提供的一种用于天线切换的探测参考信号SRS触发方法的流程图。需要说明的是，本申请实施例的用于天线切换的探测参考信号SRS触发方法由网络设备执行。如图3所示，该用于天线切换的探测参考信号SRS触发方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤。
步骤301，接收终端设备发送的能力上报信息，能力上报信息用于表示终端设备支持的天线切换配置组合。
可以理解，为了适用当前业务或者场景，终端设备可能需要改变天线配置，例如从2T4R降低为1T4R或者2T2R，或者从2T2R改变为4T4R的情况，这时就需要使用不同的功能为“天线切换”的SRS资源配置用于下行CSI的获取。可选地，终端设备可以根据当前业务或者场景告知网络设备终端设备需要改变天线配置，终端设备可以通过向网络设备发送能力上报信息的方式来告知网络设备。例如，终端设备可以向网络设备发送该终端设备的能力上报信息，以使得网络设备接收到该终端设备发送的能力上报信息，该能力上报信息可以表示该终端设备支持的天线切换配置组合。
在一种实现方式中，不同版本的终端所支持的UE能力也会不同，也就是说终端支持的天线切换配置组合也会不同，为了能够更加灵活和快速的切换或者回退到不同的天线切换配置，本申请实施例可以通过终端设备将自身所支持的天线切换配置组合上报给网络设备，以便网络设备根据终端设备的能力上报信息，在支持的切换配置组合中为该终端设备配置至少一种功能的SRS资源。其中该“至少一种”可理解为一种或多种。
步骤302，根据能力上报信息，在支持的天线切换配置组合中为终端设备配置至少一种功能的SRS资源。
其中，在本申请实施例中，该至少一种功能可以包括天线切换配置。
在一种实现方式中，对于天线切换配置的SRS资源可以允许在同一个带宽部分BWP上由RRC(Radio Resource Control，无线资源控制)信令配置，该天线切换配置的SRS资源可以为终端设备能够支持的不同天线切换配置的SRS资源集合；其中，每种天线切换配置可以包含一个或多个SRS资源集合。
需要说明的是，在5GNR系统中上行SRS可以是半持续SRS或非周期SRS。而半持续SRS和非周期SRS的触发方式并不相同。下面对半持续SRS和非周期SRS的触发方式分别进行介绍。
在一种实现方式中，SRS为半持续SRS(SP-SRS)。在本实现方式中，网络设备可以根据终端设备发送的能力上报信息，向终端设备发送媒体接入控制层控制单元MAC CE信令以触发半持续SRS，其中该MAC CE信令用于同时激活或去激活目标SRS资源集合。
作为一种可能实现方式的示例，该目标SRS资源集合可以包括：一种或多种功能的SRS资源集合。其中，该功能可以相同功能，还可以不同功能。在本实例中，对于功能为天线 切换的SRS资源集合允许激活对应配置的一个或者多个SRS资源集合。
例如，可以使用MAC CE触发半持续SRS(SP-SRS)，用于同时激活/去激活以下情况SRS资源集合：触发某一种或多种不同功能的SRS资源集合；或者，触发某一种或多种相同功能的SRS资源集合。对于其中功能为天线切换的SRS资源集合允许激活对应配置的一个或多个SRS资源集合。
在一种实现方式中，SRS为非周期SRS(A-SRS)，其中，可以通过MAC CE和DCI(Downlink Control Information，下行控制信息)方式来触发非周期SRS。
在一种可能的实现方式中，当SRS为非周期SRS；通过MAC CE和DCI方式来触发非周期SRS的一种方法(下文称为方法1)如下：
可选地，上述根据能力上报信息，在支持的天线切换配置组合中为终端设备配置至少一种功能的SRS资源的实现方式可包括：向终端设备发送RRC信令，RRC信令之中未配置针对非周期SRS资源的触发参数。
可选地，上述根据能力上报信息，在支持的天线切换配置组合中为终端设备配置至少一种功能的SRS资源的实现方式还可包括：根据能力上报信息，向终端设备发送MAC CE信令，MAC CE信令用于激活或更新用以天线切换的SRS，其中，激活一个或多个SRS资源集合，并重新配置每个SRS资源集合的非周期SRS资源触发器列表中的参数写入entry值，同时限制终端设备对于同一天线切换配置对应的多个SRS资源集合entry值相同。
可选地，上述根据能力上报信息，在支持的天线切换配置组合中为终端设备配置至少一种功能的SRS资源的实现方式还可包括：向终端设备发送下行链路控制信息DCI，DCI的非周期SRS资源触发请求域触发不同码点值的非周期SRS资源触发器的配置。
举例而言，上述方法1使用MAC CE和DCI方式来触发非周期SRS的实现方式如下：1)非周期SRS(A-SRS)资源集合在RRC信令中不配置针对非周期SRS资源触发参数，其中，该触发参数可以是高层信令参数aperiodicSRS-ResourceTrigger(非周期SRS资源触发器)。2)对于功能为天线切换的SRS，可以通过MAC CE进行激活/更新，其中可以激活一个或多个SRS资源集合，并重新配置每个SRS资源集合的aperiodicSRS-ResourceTriggerList(非周期SRS资源触发器列表)中的entry值，同时限制终端设备对于同一天线切换配置对应的多个SRS资源集合entry值相同。3)使用现有/扩展的DCI SRS triggering request(SRS触发请求)域，通过codepoints(码点)触发SRS资源集合。例如，利用DCI的SRS触发请求域触发配置不同码点值的非周期SRS资源触发器。
可选地，还可以使用MAC CE和用户分组下行链路控制信息GC-DCI方式来触发非周期SRS，其中，该实现方式中针对RRC信令配置和MAC CE配置与上述方法1中RRC信令配置和MAC CE配置相同，方法1中还使用DCI配置，而本示例是使用GC-DCI配置。也就是说，在本示例中，上述向终端设备发送下行链路控制信息DCI，DCI的非周期SRS资源触发请求域触发不同码点值的非周期SRS资源触发器的配置的实现方式可包括如下步骤：向终端设备发送增强DCI2-3，增强DCI2-3用于指示非周期SRS资源触发请求域对应的触发码点增强触发一组终端设备的SRS；或者，向终端设备发送用户分组下行链路控制信息GC-DCI，GC-DCI用于指示非周期SRS资源触发请求域对应的触发码点增强触发一组终端设备的SRS。
举例而言，使用MAC CE和用户分组下行链路控制信息GC-DCI方式来触发非周期SRS，该实现方式如下：1)非周期SRS(A-SRS)资源集合在RRC信令中不配置针对非周期SRS资源触发参数，其中，该触发参数可以是高层信令参数aperiodicSRS-ResourceTrigger(非周期SRS资源触发器)。2)对于功能为天线切换的SRS，可以通过MAC CE进行激活/更新，其中可以激活一个或多个SRS资源集合，并重新配置每个SRS资源集合的aperiodicSRS-ResourceTriggerList(非周期SRS资源触发器列表)中的entry值，同时限制终端设备对于同一天线切换配置对应的多个SRS资源集合entry值相同。3)使用增强DCI2-3或者设计新的GC-DCI，其中增强DCI2-3或该新的GC-DCI可以用于指示SRS触发请求域对应的触发码点，可用于增强触发一组终端设备的SRS，从而可以减少信令的开销。
在本申请一些实施例中，当SRS为非周期SRS；通过MAC CE和DCI方式来触发非周期SRS的一种方法(下文称为方法2)如下：
可选地，上述根据能力上报信息，在支持的天线切换配置组合中为终端设备配置至少一种功能的SRS资源的实现方式可包括：根据能力上报信息，向终端设备发送MAC CE信令，MAC CE信令用于激活或更新RRC配置的部分非周期SRS资源触发器列表中的部分码点值。
可选地，上述根据能力上报信息，在支持的天线切换配置组合中为终端设备配置至少一种功能的SRS资源的实现方式还可包括：向终端设备发送下行链路控制信息DCI，DCI的非周期SRS资源触发请求域触发一个或多个不同功能的SRS资源集合，该功能可以包含天线切换配置；其中，该一个或多个不同功能的SRS资源集合可以包含对应天线切换配置的一个或多个SRS资源集合。
举例而言，上述方法2使用MAC CE和DCI方式来触发非周期SRS的实现方式如下：1)使用MAC CE激活/更新RRC配置的部分aperiodicSRS-ResourceTriggerList(非周期SRS资源触发器列表)中的部分码点codepoint值；2)使用现有/扩展的DCI SRS triggering request(SRS触发请求)域，通过码点codepoints触发一个或多个不同功能的SRS资源集合，该功能可以包含天线切换配置，其中该一个或多个不同功能的SRS资源集合可以包含对应某种天线切换配置的一个或多个SRS资源集合。
可选地，还可以使用MAC CE和GC-DCI方式来触发非周期SRS，其中，该实现方式中针对RRC信令配置和MAC CE配置与上述方法2中RRC信令配置和MAC CE配置相同，方法2中还使用DCI配置，而本示例是使用GC-DCI配置。也就是说，在本示例中，上述向终端设备发送下行链路控制信息DCI，DCI的非周期SRS资源触发请求域触发一个或多个不同功能的SRS资源集合，功能包含天线切换配置；其中，一个或多个不同功能的SRS资源集合包含对应天线切换配置的一个或多个SRS资源集合的实现方式可包括如下步骤：向终端设备发送增强DCI2-3，增强DCI2-3用于指示非周期SRS资源触发请求域对应的触发码点增强触发一组终端设备的SRS；或者，向终端设备发送用户分组下行链路控制信息GC-DCI，GC-DCI用于指示非周期SRS资源触发请求域对应的触发码点增强触发一组终端设备的SRS。
举例而言，上述方法2使用MAC CE和DCI方式来触发非周期SRS的实现方式如下：1)使用MAC CE激活/更新RRC配置的部分aperiodicSRS-ResourceTriggerList(非周期SRS 资源触发器列表)中的部分码点codepoint值；2)使用增强DCI2-3或者设计新的GC-DCI，增强DCI2-3或该新的GC-DCI用于指示SRS触发请求域对应的触发码点，可用于增强触发一组终端设备的SRS，从而可以减少信令的开销。
通过实施本申请实施例，通过MACCE方式来实现SRS的触发方式，可以节约目前非常紧张的DCI信令开销，并可以直接不修改或简单扩展现有R15/R16版本的SRS触发设计就能够实现，本申请实施例公开的混合控制方案可以更加灵活和快速的切换或者回退到不同的天线切换配置。
可以理解，上述实施例是从网络设备侧描述本申请实施例的用于天线切换的探测参考信号SRS触发方法的实现方式。本申请实施例还提出了一种用于天线切换的探测参考信号SRS触发方法，下面将从终端设备侧描述该用于天线切换的探测参考信号SRS触发方法的实现方式。请参见图4，图4是本申请实施例提供的又一种用于天线切换的探测参考信号SRS触发方法的流程图。需要说明的是，本申请实施例的用于天线切换的探测参考信号SRS触发方法可应用于终端设备。如图4所示，该用于天线切换的探测参考信号SRS触发方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤。
步骤401，向网络设备发送能力上报信息，能力上报信息用于表示终端设备支持的天线切换配置组合。
可以理解，为了适用当前业务或者场景，终端设备可能需要改变天线配置，例如从2T4R降低为1T4R或者2T2R，或者从2T2R改变为4T4R的情况，这时就需要使用不同的功能为“天线切换”的SRS资源配置用于下行CSI的获取。可选地，终端设备可以根据当前业务或者场景告知网络设备终端设备需要改变天线配置，终端设备可以通过向网络设备发送能力上报信息的方式来告知网络设备。例如，终端设备可以向网络设备发送该终端设备的能力上报信息，以使得网络设备接收到该终端设备发送的能力上报信息，该能力上报信息可以表示该终端设备支持的天线切换配置组合。
在一种实现方式中，不同版本的终端所支持的UE能力也会不同，也就是说终端支持的天线切换配置组合也会不同，为了能够更加灵活和快速的切换或者回退到不同的天线切换配置，本申请实施例可以通过终端设备将自身所支持的天线切换配置组合上报给网络设备，以便网络设备根据终端设备的能力上报信息，在支持的切换配置组合中为该终端设备配置至少一种功能的SRS资源，其中，该至少一种功能可以包括天线切换配置。
步骤402，接收网络设备根据能力上报信息发送的SRS资源配置信息。
需要说明的是，在5GNR系统中上行SRS可以是半持续SRS或非周期SRS。而半持续SRS和非周期SRS的触发方式并不相同。下面对半持续SRS和非周期SRS的触发方式分别进行介绍。
在一种实现方式中，SRS为半持续SRS(SP-SRS)。在本实现方式中，网络设备可以根据终端设备发送的能力上报信息，向终端设备发送媒体接入控制层控制单元MAC CE信令以触发半持续SRS。终端设备可以接收网络设备根据能力上报信息发送的媒体接入控制层控制单元MAC CE信令，其中该MAC CE信令用于同时激活或去激活目标SRS资源集合。
作为一种可能实现方式的示例，该目标SRS资源集合可以包括：一种或多种功能的SRS资源集合。其中，该功能可以相同功能，还可以不同功能。在本实例中，对于功能为天线切换的SRS资源集合允许激活对应配置的一个或者多个SRS资源集合。
例如，可以使用MAC CE触发半持续SRS(SP-SRS)，用于同时激活/去激活以下情况SRS资源集合：触发某一种或多种不同功能的SRS资源集合；或者，触发某一种或多种功能的SRS资源集合。对于其中功能为天线切换的SRS资源集合允许激活对应配置的一个或多个SRS资源集合。
在一种实现方式中，SRS为非周期SRS(A-SRS)，其中，可以通过MAC CE和DCI(Downlink Control Information，下行控制信息)方式来触发非周期SRS。
在一种可能的实现方式中，当SRS为非周期SRS；通过MAC CE和DCI方式来触发非周期SRS的一种方法(下文称为方法1)如下：
可选地，上述接收网络设备根据能力上报信息发送的SRS资源配置信息的实现方式可包括：接收网络设备发送的RRC信令，RRC信令之中未配置针对非周期SRS资源的触发参数。
