Description

Method, device and storage medium for determining duration unit of monitoring capability

technical field

The present disclosure relates to wireless communication technologies, and in particular to a method, device and readable storage medium for determining a duration unit of a monitoring capability.

Background technique

In wireless communication protocols, for example: in the new air interface (New Radio, NR) communication protocol of the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology, 5G), the downlink data is carried on the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, On the PDSCH), the uplink data is carried on the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PDSCH). The PDCCH channel includes a common search space (common search space, CSS) and a user equipment-specific search space (User Equipment-specific search space, USS). Wherein, the CSS is used to carry cell common control information, multicast control information, etc., and may also be used to carry UE-specific control information. The USS is used to carry UE-specific control information.

In a high frequency band (for example, around 60 GHz), in order to cope with phase noise, a larger subcarrier bandwidth is usually selected. A larger subcarrier spacing (SubCarrier Spacing, SCS) corresponds to a smaller slot (slot) duration. For example: when the SCS corresponds to 960 KHz, the duration of one time slot is 0.015625 milliseconds, that is, 1/64 milliseconds. In this case, the terminal may not need to blindly detect the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in each slot (slot), thus introducing the multi-slot group PDCCH monitoring capability (multi-slot group PDCCH monitoring capability), that is, the PDCCH monitoring capability is defined according to a multi-slot group of X time slots as a time unit, where X is the total number of time slots included in a multi-slot group.

The duration of the multi-slot groups corresponding to different types of search spaces may be different, and it is necessary to determine how to successfully complete the sharing of the PDCCH monitoring capability budget.

The user equipment 102 is configured to support carrier aggregation, and the user equipment 102 can be connected to multiple carrier components of the network device 101 , including one primary carrier component and one or more secondary carrier components.

It should be understood that the above wireless communication system 100 may be applicable to both low-frequency scenarios and high-frequency scenarios. Application scenarios of the wireless communication system 100 include but are not limited to long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE) system, LTE frequency division duplex (frequency division duplex, FDD) system, LTE time division duplex (time division duplex, TDD) system, global Interoperability microwave access (worldwide interoperability for micro wave access, WiMAX) communication system, cloud radio access network (cloud radio access network, CRAN) system, future fifth-generation (5th-Generation, 5G) system, new wireless (new radio, NR) communication system or future evolved public land mobile network (public land mobile network, PLMN) system, etc.

The user equipment 102 shown above may be user equipment (user equipment, UE), terminal (terminal), access terminal, terminal unit, terminal station, mobile station (mobile station, MS), remote station, remote terminal, mobile terminal ( mobile terminal), wireless communication equipment, terminal agent or user equipment, etc. The user equipment 102 may have a wireless transceiver function, which can communicate with one or more network devices 101 of one or more communication systems (such as wireless communication), and accept network services provided by the network device 101, where the network device 101 Including but not limited to the illustrated base stations.

Wherein, the user equipment 102 may be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a session initiation protocol (session initiation protocol, SIP) phone, a wireless local loop (wireless local loop, WLL) station, a personal digital assistant (PDA) device, a Handheld devices with wireless communication functions, computing devices or other processing devices connected to wireless modems, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, user equipment in future 5G networks or user equipment in future evolved PLMN networks, etc.

The network device 101 may be an access network device (or called an access network site). Wherein, the access network device refers to a device that provides a network access function, such as a radio access network (radio access network, RAN) base station and the like. Specifically, the network device may include a base station (base station, BS) device, or include a base station device and a radio resource management device for controlling the base station device, and the like. The network device may also include a relay station (relay device), an access point, a base station in a future 5G network, a base station in a future evolved PLMN network or an NR base station, and the like. Network devices can be wearable or in-vehicle. The network device can also be a communication chip with a communication module.

For example, the network device 101 includes but is not limited to: a next-generation base station (gnodeB, gNB) in 5G, an evolved node B (evolved node B, eNB) in an LTE system, a radio network controller (radio network controller, RNC), Node B (node B, NB) in WCDMA system, wireless controller under CRAN system, base station controller (basestation controller, BSC), base transceiver station (base transceiver station, BTS) in GSM system or CDMA system, home Base station (for example, home evolved nodeB, or home node B, HNB), baseband unit (baseband unit, BBU), transmission point (transmitting and receiving point, TRP), transmission point (transmitting point, TP) or mobile switching center, etc.

In view of the fact that subcarrier spacing is different under normal circumstances, a multi-slot group corresponds to a fixed number of time slots. For example: SCS is 480KHz, and the corresponding number of time slots X is 4. The SCS is 960KHz, and the corresponding number of time slots X is 8. However, it is also possible that the UE may report different optional values (such as 2, 4 or 8) that it can support when the subcarrier interval is the same.

Among the different types of search spaces, the first type group search space (may be called Group(1) SS) is the SS configured by the base station in the connected state of the UE, and the second type group search space (may be called Group(2) SS) It is the SS that UE will monitor in idle state and connected state.

For example:

Group (1) SS corresponds to Type 1 CSS of dedicated RRC configuration (that is, Type 1 CSS with dedicated RRC configuration), Type 3 CSS and UE-specific SS.

Group (2) SS corresponds to Type 1 CSS of dedicated RRC configuration (that is, Type 1 CSS with dedicated RRC configuration), Type 0 CSS, Type 0A CSS, and Type 2 CSS.

The time slot duration corresponding to Group (2) SS and the total number of time slots of the multi-slot group corresponding to Group (2) SS are the default values, and since the SCS and the total number of time slots in the connected state can be individually configured by the base station for each UE, Then the time slot duration corresponding to Group (1) SS and the total number of time slots included in the multi-slot group corresponding to Group (1) SS are dynamically configured by the base station, which will result in the time slots of the multi-slot group corresponding to Group (1) SS The total number is different from the total number of time slots of the multi-slot group corresponding to the Group(2) SS, and/or, the time slot duration of the Group(1) SS is different from the time slot length of the Group(2) SS, correspondingly resulting in Group(1) The total duration of the multi-slot groups corresponding to the SS is different.

For example: the bandwidth part (Bandwidth Part, BWP) SCS of Group (1) SS is 480KHZ (corresponding to the duration of one time slot is 1/32 ms or 0.03125 ms), the total number of time slots configured by the base station is X = 2, Group (2 ) SS corresponds to X=4 and SCS=480KHZ by default. Therefore, the total duration of the multi-slot group of the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring capability corresponding to the Group (1) SS is 2*0.03125 or 0.0625 ms, and the total duration of the multi-slot group of the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring capability corresponding to the Group (2) SS is 4 *0.03125 is 0.125ms. Then the duration of the multi-slot group corresponding to the Group (1) SS is different from the duration of the multi-slot group corresponding to the Group (2) SS.

If Group (1) SS and Group (2) SS share the PDCCH monitoring capacity budget, the premise of successfully completing the shared PDCCH monitoring capacity budget is to define the duration unit of the PDCCH monitoring capacity budget, especially in the multi-slot group corresponding to the Group (1) SS The time length of is different from the time length of the multi-slot group corresponding to the Group(2) SS, and defines the time length unit of the PDCCH monitoring capability budget.
