下面对本申请实施例涉及的相关技术及术语进行说明。
一、V2X通信
V2X支持PC5接口通信和Uu接口通信两种通信模式。其中,PC5接口支持侧行链路SL通信,NR V2X SL通信的物理信道包括携带控制信息的物理层侧行链路控制信道(physical sidelink control channel,PSCCH)、携带数据负载和额外控制信息的PSSCH、携带同步信息的物理层侧行链路广播信道(physical sidelink broadcast channel,PSBCH)和携带反馈信息的物理层侧行链路反馈信道(physical sidelink feedback channel,PSFCH)。
在V2X SL中,数据以传输块(transport block,TB)的形式在PSSCH上承载并与SCI相关联。SCI指示了在PSSCH上用于承载TB的资源和解码TB所需的信息。PSCCH随PSSCH一同发送。SCI的传输分为两级,第一级SCI在PSCCH上承载,而第二级SCI在PSSCH上承载。对于不是接收目标的UE来说,只需要对第一级SCI进行译码来实现感知的目的。第二级SCI则包含了针对接收UE的额外的控制信息。第二级SCI的引入增加了SCI设计的灵活性,从而进一步支持单播、组播和广播传输。第一级SCI包括对所传输TB频域资源、时域资源的指示、对应PSSCH优先级的指示、第二级SCI的格式与大小以及PSSCH所传输数据对应的调制和编码方式(modulation and coding scheme,MCS)。MCS具体通过MCS表中对应的MCS索引指示。在V2X SL中,默认的MCS表和额外的两个MCS表可以在每个资源池中配置或预配置。为了支持不同的信道条件,PSSCH的解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS)可以承载在PSSCH时隙内不同符号上。在资源池内,DMRS的时间图样可以由第一级SCI指示。
二、V2X SL中的链路自适应
V2X SL采用链路自适应来提升单播传输的效率与可靠性。在V2X单播系统中,链路自适应可以根据接收UE向发送UE反馈的信道状态信息来调节,信道状态信息可以包括CQI和秩指示符(rank indicator,RI)等。
链路自适应技术可以根据射频链路质量来调整适合发送的MCS。数据接收UE通过对发送UE在PSSCH上发送的信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information-reference signal,CSI-RS)进行测量来确定CQI。CQI可以根据测量CSI-RS的测量结果和相应的CQI表确定。CQI可以指示适用于该当前信道的最高调制和编码方案,发送端UE可以参考CQI选择待传输数据的MCS。
V2X SL中单播传输还可以通过秩自适应实现调整多天线传输中发送PSSCH的流数, 以提高频谱效率。接收UE根据从发送UE的一个或多个天线端口发送的SL CSI-RS的信道测量信息,可以确定与测量的SL信道的秩对应的RI。信道的秩决定了信道可以支持的流数。目前V2X SL中PSSCH传输最多支持两个流,RI可以等于1或2。但本申请不限于此,本申请实施例也可以应用于PSSCH的多个流传输。RI还可以由CQI确定。CQI和RI的组合表示可以从接收UE反馈给发送UE的CSI,用于单播PSSCH传输的链路和秩自适应。目前V2X SL不支持预编码矩阵指示(precoding matrix indicator,PMI)反馈,发送UE可以根据接收UE反馈的CQI和RI进行开环多天线SL传输。但本申请不限于此,本申请实施例也可以应用于接收UE反馈PMI的场景。
三、单播通信和组播通信
单播通信是指一个发送端与一个接收端之间的点对点的通信方式,发送端发送的信号可以包括发送端的标识(即源设备标识)以及目标接收端的标识,由该目标接收端接收该信号,从而实现点对点的通信。如单播通信可以包括网络设备与终端设备之间的点对点通信,或V2X SL中的终端设备与终端设备之间的点对点通信。但本申请不限于此。
组播通信是指一个发送端与多个接收端之间的点对多点的通信方式,发送端发送的信号可以包括发送端的标识(即源设备标识)以及目标组的标识,由属于该目标组的多个接收端接收该信号,从而实现点到多点的通信。
例如,组播通信可以包括网络设备的组播通信,即网络设备向多个终端设备发送组播信号的点对多点通信,网络设备可以为该多个终端设备分配组标识用于接收组播信号。例如,图2所示的UE1和UE4可以是属于同一组播组,网络设备可以发送带有该终端设备组标识的组播信号,由UE1和UE4基于组标识接收该组播信号。
再例如,组播通信可以包括V2X SL的组播通信,即一个终端设备向多个终端设备发送组播信号的点对多点通信。该发送终端设备与该多个接收终端设备可以属于同一组播组,接收终端设备可以基于组播组的标识接收该组播组内的组播信号。但本申请不限于此。例如,图2所示的UE1、UE2、UE3、UE5可以属于同一组播组,UE2发送带有该组标识的组播信号,UE1、UE3、UE5可以基于组标识接收该组播信号。
组播组的划分可以是基于终端设备位置或终端设备之间的距离进行分组。例如,在同一地理位置范围内的终端设备分为同一组播组。或者终端设备之间的距离小于预设门限值的终端设备分为同一组播组。再或者,可以由组播信号的发送端设备(如网络设备或终端设备)基于接收到的终端设备的信号强度进行组播组的划分,例如,接收信号强度在预设范围内的终端设备分为同一组播组。但本申请不限于此。
目前,主要考虑了单播通信的信道状态信息的反馈方式,而对于组播通信,若简单地沿用单播通信的信道状态信息的反馈方式,当组播通信的接收端数量较大时,信道状态信息的资源开销较大,将影响系统通信数据的吞吐量。由于发送端发送的组播信号的抗干扰能力(如调制方式、编码方式)主要由多个接收端的信道状态中的最差信道状态决定,以使信道状态最差的接收端能够接收到组播信号,因此,本申请实施例提出组播组中的接收端在测量得到的信道状态参数小于组播组对应的信道状态参数的最小值的情况下,向发送端反馈该测量得到的信道状态参数,使得发送端能够更新组播组对应的信道状态参数的最小值,并基于当前第一组播组对应的信道状态参数的最小值,处理待发送的组播信息,以便第一组播组内的终端装置能够成功接收到该组播信息。

情况二,第二终端装置是第一信道状态参数对应的终端装置。
可选地,若第二信道状态参数大于第一信道状态参数,第一终端装置向通信装置发送第二指示信息。
第一终端装置是第一信道状态参数对应的终端装置,在第一终端装置测量得到的信道状态参数大于第一信道状态参数的情况下,可以认为信道状态参数的最小值可能发生改变。第一终端装置需要向通信装置发送第二指示信息,以便通信装置判断信道状态参数的最小值是否发生改变,从而更新信道状态参数的最小值。
例如,第二信道状态参数大于第一信道状态参数,第一终端装置向通信装置发送第二指示信息。通信装置接收到第二指示信息后,确定第一终端装置对应的信道状态参数更新为第二信道状态参数,通信装置根据当前第一组播组对应的信道状态参数,确定信道状态参数的最小值。若第一组播组中还包括至少一个终端装置对应第一信道状态参数,且该第 一信道状态参数为最小值,第一组播组对应的信道状态参数的最小值仍为第一信道状态参数。若第一组播组中不包括与第一信道状态参数对应的终端装置,通信装置可以确定当前第一组播组对应的信道状态参数的最小值,并通知第一组播组。

实施例二
图4是本申请实施例提供的通信方法400的一个示意性流程图。图4所示实施例中以通信装置为RAN节点或配置于RAN节点以实现图4所示实施例提供的方法为例进行说明,应理解本申请不限于此,图4所示实施例中的RAN节点可以替换为通信装置。图4所示实施例中以终端装置为UE或终端装置配置于UE以实现图4所示实施例提供的方法为例进行说明,应理解本申请不限于此,图4所示实施例中的UE可以替换为终端装置,例如,图4所示实施例中的UE1可以替换为终端装置1、UE2可以替换为终端装置2、UE3可以替换为终端装置3等。作为示例非限定,终端装置可以是芯片。
如图4所示的RAN节点作为第一组播组的组播信息的发送端,第一组播组包括5个UE,如UE1、UE2、UE3、UE4和UE5。需要说明的是,图4中仅示出了第一组播组中的UE1和UE2,其他UE在具体实施中可以参考UE1或UE2的实施方式,为了简要,在此不再赘述。
可选地,S401,UE1向RAN节点发送指示信息A,该指示信息A用于指示UE1对应的CQI 1。
相应地,RAN节点接收来自UE1的该指示信息A。图4所示的实施例中CQI为信道状态参数的一个示例。
UE1可以测量RAN节点的参考信号,得到CQI_1。具体地,可以是UE1测量参考信号得到UE1与RAN节点之间的信道信息,并根据信道信息确定信道信息对应的CQI_1。CQI的值越小表征信道状态越差,CQI的值越大表征信道状态越好。一个CQI对应一种调制方式(如调制阶数等)和/或一种编码方式(如信道编码的码率和/或编码效率等)。
可选地,指示信息A可以承载在UE1向RAN节点发送的UCI中。
UE1可以是接入该RAN节点后向RAN节点发送该指示信息A,或者UE1可以是比较CQI_1与当前第一组播组对应的CQI的最小值的大小后,向RAN节点发送该指示信息A。
可选地,S402,UE2向RAN节点发送指示信息B,该指示信息B用于指示UE2对应的CQI_2。
相应地,RAN节点接收来自UE2的该指示信息B。UE2可以是接入该RAN节点后向RAN节点发送该指示信息B,或者UE2可以是比较CQI_2与当前第一组播组对应的CQI的最小值的大小后,向RAN节点发送该指示信息B。
可选地,指示信息B可以承载在UE2向RAN节点发送的UCI中。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例对S401与S402的执行顺序不作限定。
S403,RAN节点向第一组播组发送指示信息C,该指示信息C用于指示CQI_1,CQI_1为第一组播组对应的CQI的最小值。
相应地,第一组播组中的UE接收该指示信息C。
RAN节点通过第一组播组中的UE最近一次发送的指示信息,确定第一组播组中的每个UE对应的CQI,并在其中确定CQI的最小值为CQI_1。
例如,第一组播组中UE1对应的CQI为3(即CQI_1),UE2对应的CQI为5(即CQI_2),UE3对应的CQI为8,UE4对应的CQI为3,UE5对应的CQI为10。其中,最小CQI值为3,即CQI_1,RAN节点通过指示信息C通知第一组播组,第一组播组对应的最小CQI为3。
可选地,RAN节点向第一组播组发送指示信息D,该指示信息D用于指示第一集合,该第一集合包括CQI_1对应的UE。
例如上一示例中,CQI_1=3,UE1、UE4对应的CQI均为3,该CQI_1对应的第一集合包括UE1和UE4,RAN节点可以发送指示信息D,该指示信息D可以包括UE1的标识信息和UE4的标识信息,第一组播组中的UE接收到该指示信息D可以确定最小CQI对应的UE。
可选地,指示信息C可以承载在RAN节点向第一组播组发送的RRC消息、MAC CE或DCI中。
S404,RAN节点向第一组播组发送组播信息,该组播信息的MCS是根据CQI_1确定的。
RAN节点确定第一组播组对应的CQI的最小值为CQI_1后,RAN节点可以根据该CQI_1确定向第一组播组发送的组播信息的MCS。
例如,CQI_1对应的调制方式为正交振幅调制(quadrature amplitude modulation,QAM)中的16QAM,RAN节点可以确定组播信息可以采用16QAM调制方式,以期第一组播组中的信道状态最差的UE可以接收到该组播信息。或者,RAN节点可以确定组播信息选择更小调制阶数的调制方式,提高组播信息的抗信道干扰能力,但本申请不限于此。
S405,UE2测量来自RAN节点的参考信号,得到CQI_3。
S406,UE2确定CQI_3大于CQI_1,UE2不发送用于指示CQI_3的指示信息。
UE2可以根据最近一次发送的CQI,即CQI_2,或者根据第一集合,确定UE2不是CQI1对应的UE,UE2测量得到的CQI_3大于CQI_2,由于第一组播组对应的最小CQI不发生改变,UE2不发送用于指示CQI_3的指示信息。能够减小传输资源的开销,提高资源利用率,且能够减小UE2的功耗。
若UE2测量得到的一个CQI小于或等于CQI_1,则UE2向RAN节点发送指示信息指示该CQI,若该CQI小于CQI_1,RAN节点可以重新确定第一组播组的最小CQI,并通知第一组播组;若该CQI等于CQI_1,RAN节点可以更新最小CQI对应的UE。可选地,可以通知第一组播组更新后的最小CQI对应的UE集合。
S407,UE1测量来自RAN节点的参考信号,得到CQI_4。
S408,UE1向RAN节点发送指示信息E,该指示信息E用于指示CQI_4。
其中,CQI_4大于CQI_1。相应地,RAN节点接收来自UE1的该指示信息E。
UE1可以根据最近一次发送的CQI,即CQI_1,或者根据第一集合,确定UE1是CQI1对应的UE,则当UE1测量得到的CQI_4大于CQI_1时,UE1向RAN节点发送指示信息E,通知UE1对应的CQI变更为CQI_4。
若UE1测量得到的CQI小于CQI_1时,UE1也向RAN节点发送指示信息,也就是说,当最小CQI对应的UE的CQI发生变化,UE将通知RAN节点,以便RAN节点判断是否更新第一组播组对应的最小CQI。
综上,组播组中的UE判断是否发送更新后的CQI的流程可以如图5所示,UEi测量得到CQIi,t,CQIi,t表示UEi第t次测量得到的CQI。当CQIi,t与上一次测量得到的CQIi,t-1不同,或者说UEi测量得到的CQI发生变化时,若UEi为最小CQI,即CQImin对应的UE,UEi发送CQIi,若UEi不是CQImin对应的UE,若CQIi≤CQImin,UEi发送CQIi,若CQIi>CQImin,UE不发送CQIi。
RAN节点接收到该指示信息E后,确定UE1对应的CQI变更为CQI_4。
一种实施方式中,RAN节点当前第一组播组对应的CQI,确定第一组播组对应的CQI的最小值,若最小值不是CQI_1则RAN节点向第一组播组发送指示信息,指示更新后的第一组播组对应的CQI的最小值。若最小值仍为CQI_1则RAN节点不向第一组播组发送指示信息,更新第一组播组对应的CQI的最小值。
另一种实施方式中,RAN节点存储有第一集合,即CQI_1对应的UE的集合,如第一集合中包括UE1和UE4,当RAN节点接收到指示信息E后,确定UE1对应的CQI变更为CQI_4,则RAN节点将UE1从第一集合中移除,而第一集合不为空集,RAN节点确定第一组播组对应的最小CQI不变。
若第一集合移除UE1后变为空集,RAN节点根据第一组播组当前对应的CQI确定第一组播组对应的最小CQI。并确定该最小CQI对应的UE的集合。可选地,RAN节点向第一组播组发送该最小CQI对应的UE集合。
当RAN节点接收到来自UEi的CQIi后,
若CQIi<CQImin,RAN节点更新CQImin,并通知第一组播组。
若CQIi=CQImin,RAN节点增加CQImin对应的UE,例如RAN节点存储有CQImin对应的UE集合,则RAN节点将UEi加入该UE集合中。
若CQIi>CQImin,一种实施方式中,RAN节点根据当前第一组播组对应的CQI确定更新的CQImin,或者,另一种实施方式中,RAN节点存储由CQImin对应的UE集合,RAN节点将UEi从该UE集合中删除,若该UE集合不为空,则CQImin不变;若该UE集合为空,RAN节点更新CQImin,并通知第一组播组,以及CQImin对应的UE集合,可选地,通知第一组播组更新后的CQImin对应的UE集合。
下面介绍当第一组播组中包含的UE发生变化时,RAN节点的操作。
当第一组播组中的UE退出该组播组时,RAN节点将该UE从第一组播组移除得到第二组播组。第二组播组包括多个UE。
RAN节点判断该UE是否为最小CQI(如当前最小CQI为CQI_1)对应的UE,若该UE为最小CQI对应的UE可以采用但不限于以下实施方式。
一种实施方式,RAN节点根据当前第二组播组中的UE对应的CQI,确定第二组播组对应的最小CQI,若该最小CQI不是CQI_1,RAN节点通知第二组播组,若最小CQI仍为CQI_1,则RAN节点不需要通知第二组播组。
另一种实施方式中,RAN节点存储由CQI_1对应的UE集合,如第一集合,若退出组播组的UE不属于该第一集合,则RAN节点确定第二组播组对应的最小CQI仍为CQI_1;若退出组播组的UE属于该第一集合,RAN节点从该第一集合中删除该UE,若删除该UE后第一集合不为空,则第二组播组对应的最小CQI仍为CQI_1;若第一集合中删除该UE后该第一集合为空,则RAN节点根据第二组播组中的UE对应的CQI,确定第二组播组对应的最小CQI,并通知第二组播组。RAN节点还可以确定该最小CQI对应的UE集合,可选地,RAN节点可以通知第二组播组该最小CQI对应的UE集合。
例如,第一组播组中的5个UE中,UE4将退出第一组播组,RAN节点将UE从第一组播组移除得到第二组播组,第二组播组包括UE1、UE2、UE3和UE5。比如,RAN节点存储的最小CQI对应的UE集合包括UE1和UE4,则RAN节点将UE4从该UE集合中移除,该UE集合不为空,则该第二组播组的最小CQI仍为UE1对应的最小CQI。而若RAN节点存储的最小CQI对应的UE集合仅包括UE4,RAN节点将UE4从该UE集合中删除后,该集合变为空集,RAN节点根据第二组播组中UE1、UE2、UE3和UE5当前对应的CQI确定最小CQI,如UE1对应的CQI为7、UE2对应的CQI为5、UE3对应的CQI为5和UE5对应的CQI为8,则RAN节点确定第二组播组对应的最小CQI为5,该最小CQI对应的UE集合为{UE2、UE3}。RAN节点可以通知第二组播组,该第二组播组对应的最小CQI为5。可选地,RAN节点还通知第二组播组该最小CQI对应的UE集合包括UE2和UE3。
当第一组播组中新加入一个UE时,RAN节点将该UE加入第一组播组得到第三组播组。RAN节点接收该UE发送的指示CQI的指示信息,确定该UE对应的CQI,若该UE对应的CQI小于第一组播组对应的最小CQI(如最小CQI为CQI_1),则RAN节点将该UE对应的CQI确定为第三组播组对应的最小CQI,并通知第三组播组。若该UE对应的CQI大于或等于CQI_1,RAN节点确定第三组播组对应的最小CQI为CQI_1,并通知该UE第三组播组对应的最小CQI。

S608,UE2向UE1发送指示信息H,该指示信息H用于指示CQI_5,其中,CQI_5不等于CQI_2。
相应地,UE1接收来自UE2的指示信息H。
UE2可以根据最新一次发送的CQI或者根据UE1指示的最小CQI对应的UE集合,确定UE2是最小CQI(即CQI_2)对应的UE。UE3在测量得到的CQI不等于CQI_2的情况下,发送用于指示该CQI的指示信息;在测量得到的CQI等于CQI_2的情况下,不发送用于指示该CQI的指示信息。
该第一组播组中接收组播信息的UE可以根据图5所示的流程确定是否发送测量得到的CQI。但本申请不限于此。
当UE1接收到来自一个UE的用于指示CQI的指示信息后,可以参考实施例一中通信装置或实施例二中RAN节点的操作流程,为了简要,在此不在赘述。
根据本申请实施例提供的方案,组播组中的接收端在测量得到的信道状态参数小于组播组对应的信道状态参数的最小值时,通知组播信息的发送端,使得发送端能够更新组播组对应的信道状态参数的最小值,并基于当前第一组播组对应的信道状态参数的最小值,处理待发送的组播信息,以期组播组内的接收端均能够成功接收到该组播信息。进一步地,若接收端不是信道状态参数的最小值对应的接收端,当接收端测量得到的信道状态参数大于信道状态参数的最小值时,接收端不反馈信道状态参数。以及,若接收端是信道状态参数的最小值对应的接收端,当该接收端测量得到的信道状态参数等于信道状态参数的最小值时,接收端不反馈信道状态参数。能够减小传输资源开销,提高资源利用率,减小终端 装置功耗。
