为便于理解本申请,首先介绍本申请可能涉及的技术术语。
主小区和辅小区:终端设备可以和多个小区建立连接,这些小区分为两组:主小区组(master cell group,MCG)和辅小区组(secondary cell group,SCG)。MCG包括一个主小区,还可以包括一个或多个辅小区;同样的,SCG包括一个主小区,还可以包括一个或多个辅小区。如果没有特别说明的话,主小区可以是指MCG的主小区或SCG的主小区。
span可以译作“时间跨度”、“时间单元”、“子时间单元”等,是一个时隙里的一组连续的正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing,OFDM)符号。终端设备支持的任何一个PDCCH在监测时机(monitoring occasion)都包含在某一个span内。一个span的起始符号是一个PDCCH监测时机的起始符号,结束符号是一个PDCCH监测时间的结束,一个span的符号数最大为Y。如果一个终端设备在一个小区上使用组合(X,Y)进行PDCCH监测,则两个连续span的起始符号的间隔的最小值为X个符号,这两个连续span可以是同一个时隙内的,或者时隙间的。
子载波间隔(subcarrier spacing,SCS),NR系统中有5种子载波间隔,子载波间隔的配置参数μ的取值0~4,对应的子载波间隔分别为15KHz、30KHz,60KHz,120KHz和240KHz。
小区和载波:小区是高层(例如无线资源控制层、媒体接入控制层等在物理层之上的协议层)从资源管理或移动性管理的角度来描述的。每个网络设备的覆盖范围可以被划分为一个或多个小区。NR系统中,一个小区可以被配置一个下行载波,可选地还被配置至少一个上行载波。小区是一个通用的名称,针对终端设备而言,为其提供服务的小区称为服务小区。本申请中所涉及的小区也可以是服务小区。
跨载波调度:一个小区上的数据用这个小区上的PDCCH进行调度,这称为自调度;一个小区的数据用另一个小区上的PDCCH进行调度,这称为跨载波调度。在跨载波调度中,承载PDCCH的小区被称为主调小区或者调度小区(scheduling cell),承载数据的小区 被称为被调小区(scheduled cell)。
NR系统等系统中,一个终端设备在配置了PDCCH的下行激活带宽部分(bandwidth part,BWP)上会监测一组PDCCH候选(candidates)。监测(monitor)是指在每个PDCCH candidate上根据待检测的下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)格式(format)进行PDCCH译码。接入网设备在一个PDCCH候选中,可能发送PDCCH,也有可能不发送PDCCH,因此终端设备监测的结果可能是检测(detect)到PDCCH,也可能是没检测到PDCCH。
一个PDCCH候选可以包含L={1,2,4,8,16}个控制信道元素(control channel element,CCE)。这里L称为PDCCH的聚合等级(aggregation level,AL)。一个CCE包含6个资源单元组(resource-element group,REG),每个REG对应于一个正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing,OFDM)符号(symbol)上的一个资源块(resource block,RB)。本申请中,可以将OFDM符号简称为符号。
一个AL为L的搜索空间(search space)定义为一组包含若干个大小为L个控制信道单元的PDCCH候选的集合。一个搜索空间集合(search space set)是一组包含不同的AL的search space的集合。一个search space set关联一个控制资源集合(control resource set,CORESET)。
PDCCH监测中有两项工作对终端设备的实现复杂度影响比较大,一个是监测的PDCCH候选个数,有时也称为盲检(blind detection,BD)个数;一个是不重叠的控制信道单元(control channel element,CCE)个数,有时会简称为CCE个数。其中,关联在同一个CORESET上的,时频资源重叠的CCE被认为是重叠的CCE,其他CCE被认为是不重叠的CCE。终端设备需要监测的PDCCH候选越多,终端设备的译码复杂度就越高;PDCCH候选中不重叠的CCE个数越多,终端设备的信道估计复杂度就越高。
协议预设了终端设备在一个小区的一个时间单元上监测的PDCCH候选个数的上限和不重叠的CCE个数的上限,即BD/CCE上限。这里的时间单元可以是指时隙(slot),也可以是指时间跨度(span)。
接入网设备会给终端设备的每个服务小区配置PDCCH监测能力配置(PDCCHMonitoringCapabilityConfig),这个参数可以有两种取值,即第三代伙伴计划(the3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)版本15(release 15,R15)中定义的R15 PDCCH监测能力(R15 PDCCH monitoring capability)和3GPP R16中定义的R16 PDCCH监测能力(R16 PDCCH monitoring capability)。
如果一个服务小区的PDCCHMonitoringCapabilityConfig=R15 PDCCH monitoring capability,或者没有配置PDCCHMonitoringCapabilityConfig,则在一个服务小区的BWP的子载波间隔的配置参数为μ∈{0,1,2,3}时,每个时隙终端设备在这个服务小区上监测PDCCH候选的最大个数为

上面的表1至表4,规定了终端设备在一个小区的一个时间单元上监测的PDCCH候选个数的上限和不重叠的CCE个数的上限,但是终端设备实际的检测能力可能小于上面表格中规定的数量。举例来说,在以下四种场景中,终端设备可以分别确定实际需要在一个小区的一个时间单元上监测的PDCCH候选个数的上限和不重叠的CCE个数的上限。
场景一:
UE的盲检能力,即UE能力以小区数的形式表征,例如终端设备可以上报支持4个小区的盲检能力,或者上报支持6个小区的盲检能力。在R16引入了span后,即引入了monitoringCapabilityConfig-r16后,终端设备会针对基于slot和基于span的盲检能力分别上报。例如终端设备可以上报支持M个基于slot的盲检能力,支持N个基于span的盲检能力。
如果一个终端设备中的没有配置monitoringCapabilityConfig-r16,或者配置了monitoringCapabilityConfig-r16=r15monitoringcapability的小区对应的小区数小于等于终端设备的对应的盲检能力(即基于slot的盲检能力),则在激活下行BWP的子载波间隔为μ的调度小区上:

上面的场景一至场景四,描述的是在一个被调小区只能有一个调度小区的情况下,如何确定在调度小区的一个时间单元上监测的PDCCH候选个数的上限和不重叠的CCE个数的上限。但是如果当两个小区可以共同调度这两个小区中的一个小区,例如第一小区和第二小区共同调度第一小区时,如何确定在一个时间单元上监测的PDCCH候选个数的上限和不重叠的CCE个数的上限,是一个亟待解决的问题。本申请将提供一种方法,解决上述问题。

举例来说,时间单元为时隙时,如果第二子载波间隔的配置参数为μ2,那么第一数量可以为在表1中与μ2对应的

一种实现方式中,如果接入网设备没有配置第一参数或第二参数的取值,那么第一参数或第二参数的取值可以为默认值。另一种实现方式中,第一参数或第二参数的取值不存在对应的默认值,第一参数或第二参数的取值由接入网设备配置。如果接入网设备只指示其中一项,则协议预设了两者之和,例如为1。
如果第一参数和第二参数是被允许由接入网设备配置的,第二方案中,第一参数的取值与第二参数的取值的和为1。本申请中,还可以包括第三参数,第三参数被允许由所述接入网设备配置。接入网设备可以将第一参数的取值配置为等于第三参数的取值,或者第一参数和第三参数作为同一个参数进行配置。本申请中,第一参数采用s1表示,第二参数采用s2表示,第三参数采用α表示,一种实现方式中,s1可以等于α,s2可以等于1-α。

第一场景:
第一小区和第二小区,这两个小区的控制信道接收使用的都是第一子载波间隔对应的BD/CCE能力。
第一小区的子载波间隔对应μ1,第二小区的子载波间隔对应μ2。因为两个小区的控制信道接收实际使用的是第一子载波间隔对应的BD/CCE能力,且两个小区调度的是一个子载波间隔为第一子载波间隔的小区,即第一小区,所以在求子载波间隔对应μ1的所有小区的BD/CCE上限时,s1取值为1;在求子载波间隔对应μ2的所有小区的BD/CCE上限时,s2取值为0,也就是实质上没有用到第二子载波间隔对应的BD/CCE能力,即“s1=1,s2=0”。
而在确定第二小区的子载波对应的一个时间单元上,终端设备的BD/CCE监测上限时,就不需要考虑子载波间隔对应μ2的所有小区的BD/CCE上限

因此在第二小区上,在第二子载波间隔对应的一个时间单元上,终端设备需监测的用来调度第一小区的PDCCH候选的个数的最大值,以及终端设备需监测的用来调度第一小区的PDCCH候选中的不重叠的CCE的个数的最大值,可以采用第一方案确定。
在第一方案中,如果进一步,有一种能力的终端设备,需要接入网设备保证每个时间单元中,配置的搜索空间集都在相同的连续的3个OFDM符号内,那么就需要进一步限制第一方案中是否包括条件1-4至条件1-6中的一项或多项。
如果第二小区和第一小区的子载波间不同,例如第二小区的子载波间为30KHz,第一小区的子载波间为15Khz,那么在第一小区的3个符号内,对应第二小区的6个符号,终端设备在第二小区最多就需要存储6个符号的PDCCH,以进行PDCCH监测。如果限制第二小区的搜索空间在第二小区的3个符号上,即限制在30KHz对应的3个符号上,那么终端设备在每个小区只需要存储3个符号的信号,以进行PDCCH监测,从而节省了终端设备的存储空间。
第二场景:
第一小区和第二小区,在这两个小区的子载波间隔不同时,两个小区的控制信道接收用不同子载波间隔的监测能力实现,即对应不同子载波间隔对应的BD/CCE能力。
第一小区的子载波间隔对应μ1,第二小区的子载波间隔对应μ2。因为两个小区的控制信道接收实际使用不同子载波间隔的监测能力实现,所以在求子载波间隔对应μ1的所有小区的BD/CCE上限时的取值时,s1应该对应于在第一小区上配置的BD/CCE个数,和在求子载波间隔对应μ2的所有小区的BD/CCE上限时,s2应该对应于在第二小区上配置的BD/CCE个数,即“s1由高层配置,s1+s2=1(α和s1独立配置),或者s1=α,s2=1-α”。
而在确定第二小区的子载波对应的一个时间单元上,终端设备的BD/CCE监测上限时,就需要考虑子载波间隔对应μ2的所有小区的BD/CCE上限,因此在第二小区上,在第二子载波间隔对应的一个时间单元上,终端设备需监测的用来调度第一小区的PDCCH候选的个数的最大值,以及终端设备需监测的用来调度第一小区的PDCCH候选中的不重叠的CCE的个数的最大值,可以采用第二方案确定。
