具体实施方式
为使本申请实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本 申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
本申请实施例的说明书、权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”等是用于区别类似的对象,而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。应该理解这样使用的数据在适当情况下可以互换,以便这里描述的本申请的实施例能够以除了在这里图示或描述的那些以外的顺序实施。此外,术语“包括”和“具有”以及他们的任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含,例如,包含了一系列步骤或单元的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备不必限于清楚地列出的那些步骤或单元,而是可包括没有清楚地列出的或对于这些过程、方法、产品或设备固有的其它步骤或单元。
图1是适用于本申请实施例的通信系统100的示意图。
该通信系统可以包括至少一个第二装置,第二装置可以是如图1所示的阅读器101,该通信系统还可以包括多个第一装置,第一装置可以是如图1所示的标签102,第一装置与第二装置之间可以实现射频信号的传递,从而实现能量的传递和数据交换。
应理解,图1仅为一个示例,本申请实施例提供的第二装置,可以是阅读器、读出装置、扫描器、读头、通信器或读写器(基于标签是否可以无线改写数据),或者,第二装置还可以是移动通信系统中的接入网设备,例如,可以是第四代、第五代(5 th gerneration,5G)或未来的移动通信系统中的基站等。但本申请不限于此。
本申请实施例提供的第一装置,可以是标签、终端、终端设备、用户设备,其中,标签可以称为电子标签、智能标签、射频标签、应答器或数据载体等,通常由耦合元件及芯片组成,每个标签可以具有唯一的电子编码。在一些场景中,标签可以附着在物体上用于标识该物体。标签102又可以称射频标签、应答器、数据载体。阅读器101向标签102发送下行信令,具体地,阅读器101可以通过向标签102发送激励信号,该激励信号可以承载阅读器101向标签102发送的下行信令,标签102接收阅读器101发送的下行信令后,可以将该激励信号作为反射载波,向阅读器101发送上行信令。对于无源标签,阅读器向标签提供的激励信号的部分能量用于标签的编解码、调制解调等内部处理,同时该激励信号还作为载波,承载标签的上行信令,反射给阅读器;对于半无源标签,标签的内部包含储能装置(如可以是电池),编解码、调制解调等内部处理可借助于储能装置功能,但仍需要阅读器发送激励信号作为反射载波。
阅读器可以采用集中式架构,例如图1所示的阅读器,在一些实施方式中,阅读器可以采用分离架构,例如,阅读器可以包括接收器(receiver)和辅助器(helper)。图2是适用于本申请实施例的通信系统200的示意图。如图2所示,阅读器包括接收器201和辅助器202,接收器201与辅助器202之间为前传链路,前传链路包括前传下行链路,用于接收器201向辅助器202发送前传下行信息或下行数据;以及前传链路还包括前传上行链路,用于辅助器202向接收器201发送前传上行信息或上行数据。辅助器202与标签203之间为前向链路(或称为下行链路),辅助器202负责通过前向链路向标签203发送下行信息或下行数据。接收器201与标签203之间为反向链路(或称为上行链路),接收器201还负责通过反向链路接收来自标签203的反射信号。
辅助器与接收器之间的前传链路可以考虑采用5G移动通信系统新无线(new radio,NR)技术或者5G侧行链路(sidelink)技术进行信号传输,即接收器生成信息或数据,通过5G NR空口技术作为前传链路发送给辅助器,辅助器再在前向链路上转发该信息或 数据。
如图3所示,在阅读器采用集中式架构的情况下,阅读器除了与标签间通过前向链路和反向链路传输激励信号和反射信号外,阅读器还与集中控制单元(如基站)进行通信,集中控制单元可以对阅读器使用的前向链路的资源和发送行为进行一定的调度、控制等。集中控制单元与reader间的通信考虑采用5G NR技术或者5G sidelink(侧行链路)技术。
图4是标签的盘存流程的一个示意性流程图。在一些场景中,标签可以附着在物体上用于标识物体,盘存流程可以应用于仓库中的库存盘点。或者标签可以附着在动物的耳部或身体上,该盘存流程可以应用于智能养殖场中的牲畜盘点等。
1.阅读器发送选择(Select)信息。
阅读器可以通过向多个标签发送选择信息,该选择信息可以在该多个标签中选择部分或全部标签。阅读器可以通过该选择信息修改标签的一个会话(一个标签可以有4个会话)的盘存标识位,使得阅读器通过步骤2中的盘存询问信息可以通过标签的会话的盘存标志位选择要盘存的标签。该盘存标识位可以是1个比特,用于指示此次盘存中要选择哪些标签。
2.阅读器发送盘存询问(query)信息。
标签可以有4个会话(session),一个标签在一次盘存过程中只能处于一个会话,一个询问信令可以从该4个会话中选择一个,并对与该会话中的盘存标志位相匹配的标签子集初始化盘存流程,该标签子集中的每个标签运行一个计数器,该计数器的初始值是由标签选择的随机数。
3.标签1向阅读器发送RN16信息。
当启动盘存流程的一个标签的计数器的计数值为0,则该标签将选择一个16位随机数(random number,RN)作为该标签的临时标识信息。该16位随机数也称为RN16信息,或称为RN16。标签1再采用阅读器配置的上行资源向阅读器发送RN16信息。
4.阅读器向标签1发送盘存确认(acknowledge,ACK)信息。
当阅读器成功接收到来自标签1的临时标识,阅读器向标签1发送盘存ACK信息,该盘存ACK信息中包含了来自标签1的临时标识。作为对标签反馈的临时标识的确认。
5.标签1向阅读器发送电子产品编码(electronic product code,EPC)。
标签1接收到来自阅读器的盘存ACK信息后,确定阅读器接收到了临时标识,则标签1向阅读器发送真实标识信息,如EPC,或EPC的一部分,或其他标识(identifier,ID)。
若阅读器接收到的标签1反馈的EPC无效,例如,阅读器对接收到的EPC进行循环冗余校验(cyclic redundancy check,CRC)为失败,则阅读器可以认为该EPC无效。阅读器向标签反馈盘存否定确认(negative acknowledge,NAK)信息。
6.阅读器发送盘存询问重复(QueryRep)信息(或者盘存询问调节(QueryAdjust)信息)。
若标签接收到来自阅读器的盘存询问重复信息,所有计数器的计数值不为0的标签将计数值减1,若减1后一个标签的计数器的计数值为0,则该标签向阅读器发送临时标识(16位随机数)信息。若标签接收到来自阅读器的盘存询问调节信息,所有标签重新选择一个随机数作为计数器的初始值。
若阅读器在图4所示的步骤3中接收到单个标签反馈的RN16信息,说明盘存正常;若多个标签均反馈了RN16信息,阅读器无法解出得到标签的临时标识,说明标签冲突, 则阅读器不会发送盘存ACK信息,而是直接发送盘存QueryRep信息,如图5所示,继续进行后续的盘存流程。另一方面,若阅读器发送盘存Query信息或盘存QueryRep信息后,没有在上行资源上接收到标签反馈的临时标识,则阅读器等待一段时间后再次发送盘存QueryRep信息。
图4、图5所示的流程图中,T1为阅读器发送信息结束到标签开始发送信息之间的时间间隔;T2为标签发送信息结束到阅读器开始发送信息之间的时间间隔;T3为阅读器盘存时若没有标签响应,阅读器需要额外要等待的时间间隔;T4为阅读器发送一条信息结束到下一条信息开始之间的时间间隔(中间标签无反馈信息)。
以上介绍的盘存流程可知,阅读器为需要盘存的标签子集配置一个上行资源,标签逐个利用上行资源发送标识信息,通过由随机数初始化的计数器来尽量避免在上行资源的信息冲突。目前这种对标签逐个盘存的方式,盘存周期较长,盘存效率较低。
目前,为了保证标签的上行信息的覆盖范围,标签发送的上行信息的带宽较窄,如上行信息可能仅占用几kHz的带宽资源,然而上行实际可用的信道带宽可以有几百kHz,本申请提出可以利用信道带宽中的可用资源,使得信道带宽中包括用于传输上行信息的多个上行频域资源,该多个上行频域资源使得不同标签的盘存流程可以并行进行,以提高盘存的效率。
下面将结合附图,对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
实施例一:
图6是本申请实施例提供的通信方法的一个示意性流程图。图6所示的第二装置可以是阅读器,或第二装置配置于阅读器,第一装置可以是标签,或第一装置配置于标签。该通信方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤:
S601,第二装置向第一装置发送第一信令,该第一信令包括多个盘存信息,每个盘存信息对应多个候选频域资源中的至少一个频域资源。
其中,信道带宽中包括用于传输上行信息的多个频域资源,该多个频域资源可以称为上行信息的多个候选频域资源。该信道带宽为上行最大可用带宽,即第一装置向第二装置发送上行信息的最大可用带宽。相应地,第一装置接收来自第二装置的该第一信令。
该第一信令中的多个盘存信息的类型可以相同也可以不同,作为示例限定,盘存信息可以是选择(select)信息、盘存询问(Query)信息、盘存确认(ACK)信息、盘存询问重复(QueryRep)信息或盘存询问调节(QueryAdjust)信息,以及其他类型的信息。
上述盘存不同类型的盘存信息的具体功能可以参见图4中盘存流程中的介绍,为了简要,在此不再赘述。
作为示例非限定,该第一信令为公共信令。
在该第一信令中一个盘存信息对应的频域资源可以包括用于承载该盘存信息的响应信息。但本申请不限于此,在本申请实施例的一些实施方式中,一个盘存信息对应的频域资源可以包括该盘存信息确认接收到上行信息的频域资源,如该盘存信息可以是盘存确认信息,或者可以包括该盘存信息确认未成功接收到上行信息的频域资源,如该盘存信息可以是盘存否定确认(NACK)信息,具体实施方式可以参考下文中的描述。包含第一装置在内的多个通信装置(如多个标签)可以接收该第一信令,获取第一信令内的多个盘存信息,并且通信装置根据各自所处的状态,确认是否需要响应该多个盘存信息中的盘存信息。例如多个通信装置中的一个通信装置在接收到该第一信令之前发送了RN16信息,该RN16 信息包括该通信装置的临时标识信息。当该通信装置接收到该第一信令后,确定该第一信令中的多个盘存信息中可以包括盘存确认信息,且该盘存确认信息确认接收到了该通信装置的临时标识信息,则该通信装置可以响应该盘存确认信息,若该确认信息对应频域资源1,则该通信装置可以在频域资源1上向第二装置发送该身份信息。该第一信令还可以包括盘存询问重复信息,如果该多个通信装置中的一个通信装置之前未发送过RN16,或者已发送过RN16但第一信令中未包括盘存确认信息,或者包括了盘存确认信息,但该盘存确认信息中未包含该通信装置之前发送的RN16,则该通信装置接收到该第一信令后根据该盘存询问重复信息将计数值减1后计数值为0,则该通信装置可以向第二装置发送RN16信息。比如,该盘存询问重复信息对应频域资源2,该通信装置可以在频域资源2上发送该RN16信息,以反馈该通信装置的临时标识信息。
根据本申请的方案,信道带宽可以包括多个频域资源用于传输上行信息,使得阅读器可以向标签发送包含多个盘存信息的复用信令,使得不同标签可以在不同盘存信息对应的频域资源上执行盘存流程。能够提高资源利用率,减小盘存时延,提高盘存效率。
可选地,该多个盘存信息与第一信令中的多个第三指示信息一一对应,一个第三指示信息用于指示对应的盘存信息的信息类型。
实施方式一,该多个盘存信息中的每个盘存信息包括一个第三指示信息。
一个示例中,该多个盘存信息中的每个盘存信息包括一个头部(header)字段,一个盘存信息的头部字段包括一个第三指示信息。
需要说明的是,头部字段是信息(或信令)中承载指示信息(或称为控制信息)的专用字段,包含至少一个指示信息,使得接收装置基于接收到的信息(或信令)的头部字段中的指示信息可以正确读取该信息(或信令)。
作为示例非限定,第三指示信息可以是逻辑信道标识(logic channel identifier,LCID)信息。
例如,该第一信令的信令格式可以如图7所示,第一信令包括n个盘存信息,每个盘存信息可以是一个媒体接入控制(medium access control,MAC)控制元素(control element,CE),每个盘存信息包括一个MAC头部字段,一个MAC头部字段包括一个LCID信息(即第三指示信息的一个示例),LCID信息用于指示盘存信息的信息类型。如图7所示,盘存信息1中的MAC头部字段包括LCID1信息,该LCID1信息用于指示该盘存信息1的信息类型,盘存信息1还包括信息字段1,信息字段1包括盘存信息1的信息内容。盘存信息2中的MAC头部字段包括LCID2信息,以及该盘存信息2还包括信息字段2;盘存信息n中的MAC头部字段包括LCIDn信息,以及该盘存信息n还包括信息字段n。可选地,每个盘存信息的MAC头部字段还可以包括一个或多个预留比特(图7中记作R)。需要说明的是,第一信令中不同盘存信息的LCID字段指示的盘存信息的信息类型可以相同也可以不同,相同类型的盘存信息可以是对应的频域资源不同。
第一信令可以如图8所示,第一信令包括2个盘存信息,一个盘存信息可以是盘存确认信息,该盘存确认信息的MAC头部字段包括LCID1信息,该LCID1信息为盘存确认信息对应的逻辑信道的LCID,第一装置接收到该第一信令后,可以根据LCID1信息,确定包含该LCID1信息的盘存信息为盘存确认(ACK)信息。该盘存确认信息可以用于确认第二装置接收到的标识信息(如RN16)。第一信令中的另一个盘存信息可以是盘存询问重复(QueryRep)信息,该盘存询问重复信息的MAC头部字段包括LCID2信息,该 LCID2信息为盘存询问重复信息对应的逻辑信道的LCID,第一装置接收到该第一信令后,可以根据该LCID2信息,确定包含该LCID2信息的盘存信息为盘存询问重复信息。对于计数值不为0的通信装置接收到该盘存询问重复信息后可以将计数值减1。但本申请不限于此。
需要说明的是,第一信令中的不同盘存信息可以基于信息类型、信息内容等的不同而具有相同或不同的信息长度。应理解,本申请实施例提供的信令格式的示例中,如上述图7、图8所示示例以及下文中的附图示例均为示意图,本申请对第一信令中的不同盘存信息的长度是否相同不作限定。
另一个示例中,该第一信令包括一个头部字段,每个盘存信息中包括一个第三指示信息。
例如图9所示,第一信令包括一个头部字段,该第一信令中的每个盘存信息包括一个第三指示信息,如第一信令中的盘存信息1包括第三指示信息1,该第三指示信息1用于指示盘存信息1的信息类型,盘存信息2包括第三指示信息2,该第三指示信息2用于指示盘存信息2的信息类型,第一信令中的盘存信息n包括第三指示信息n,该第三指示信息n用于指示盘存信息n的信息类型。
在一个具体示例中,第一信令可以如图10所示,第一信令包括1个头部字段和2个盘存信息,其中,每个盘存信息中的第三指示信息包括3比特,该3比特的不同取值指示不同的盘存信息的信息类型。例如,“000”指示信息类型为盘存询问;“001”指示信息类型为盘存确认;“010”指示信息类型为盘存询问重复;“011”指示信息类型为盘存询问调节;“100”指示信息类型为盘存否定确认。第一装置接收到如图10所示的第一信令后,根据第一个盘存信息中第三指示信息的3比特指示“001”,可以确定该盘存信息为盘存确认信息,该盘存确认信息的信息内容可以包含在信息字段1中。第一装置还可以根据该第二个盘存信息中第三指示信息的3比特指示“000”,确定该盘存信息为盘存询问信息,该盘存询问信息的信息内容可以包含在信息字段2中。可选地,第一信令中的头部字段可以包括LCID信息,该LCID信息可以指示该第一信令包括多个盘存信息,或者该LCID信息指示一个逻辑信道的标识,该逻辑信道的标识可以表示该第一信令包括多个盘存信息(或者表示第一信令为多信息复用信令)。该头部字段还可以包括至少一个预留比特(图10中记作R)。
实施方式二,该第一信令包括一个头部(header)字段,该头部字段包括多个第三指示信息,该多个第三指示信息按照排列顺序与多个盘存信息按照排列顺序依次对应。
例如图11所示,第一信令的头部字段包括LCID信息,LCID信息之后包括4个第三指示信息,每3比特为一个第三指示信息,该4个第三指示信息与头部字段之后的4个盘存信息按照在第一信令中的排列顺序依次对应。如第一个第三指示信息的3比特为“010”,指示该第三指示信息对应的第一信令中的第一个盘存信息(即盘存信息1)为盘存询问重复信息;第二个3比特为“001”指示其对应的第二个盘存信息(即盘存信息2)为盘存确认信息;第三个3比特也为“001”,指示盘存信息3为盘存确认信息,该盘存信息2和该盘存信息3可以是对应不同频域资源的盘存确认信息;第四个3比特为“100”,指示盘存信息4为盘存否定确认信息。
可选地,该第一信令还可以包括第二指示信息,该第二指示信息用于指示第一数量,该第一数量为第一信令包含的盘存信息的数量。
第一装置接收到第一信令后可以根据第一数量确定该第一信令中包含的盘存信息的 个数。例如在图11A所示的示例中,LCID信息之后的2个比特为第二指示信息,该第二指示信息的2个比特用于指示在该第二指示信息之后包含的第三指示信息的数量,如该2个比特为“00”指示数量为1,“01”指示数量为2,“10”指示数量为3,“11”指示数量为4。第一装置接收到如图11A所示的第一信令后,根据该第一信令中的第二指示信息指示“11”确定第一数量为4,从而可以确定该第一信令中包括4个第三指示信息和4个盘存信息,也就是说,第一装置可以根据第一数量,确定该第二指示信息之后的12比特为4个第三指示信息。第一装置可以根据该4个第三指示信息,分别确定4个盘存信息的信息类型。
一种实施方式中,盘存信息的信息字段的长度可以基于盘存信息的信息类型确定。
即一种类型的盘存信息中其信息字段的长度为固定值。第一装置基于第三指示信息,可以确定该第三指示信息对应的盘存信息的信息类型,以及第一装置基于该第三指示信息指示的信息类型,还可以确定该第三指示信息对应的盘存信息中信息字段的长度。
例如,第一类型的盘存信息中信息字段的长度为K个比特,第二类型的盘存信息中信息字段的长度为L个比特等。若第一信令中的一个第三指示信息指示相应的盘存信息为第二类型的盘存信息,第一装置基于该第三指示信息可以确定相应的盘存信息的信息类型为第二类型,以及该盘存信息中信息字段的长度为L个比特。
另一种实施方式中,第一信令中还可以包括每个盘存信息对应的长度指示字段,一个盘存信息长度指示字段用于指示相应的盘存信息中的信息字段的长度。
盘存信息对应的长度指示字段可以包含在第一信令中的头部字段中。或者,盘存信息对应的长度指示字段可以包含在第一信令中每个盘存信息之前。第一装置可以基于一个长度指示字段确定在该长度指示字段之后的盘存信息(即该长度指示字段对应的盘存信息)中信息字段的长度。
应理解,本申请实施例包括但并不限于上述确定盘存信息中的信息字段的长度的方式。
可选地,信道带宽包括的多个频域资源可以是预定义的,或者,第二装置可以通知第一装置信道带宽包含的多个频域资源。
例如,第二装置可以向第一装置发送第二信息,该第二信息用于指示信道带宽中可以用于上行信息的多个频域资源。第一装置接收到该第二信息后可以确定该多个频域资源在信道带宽中的位置。可选地,该第二信息可以指示的该多个频域资源可以是信道带宽中包含的所有频域资源。或者,第二信息指示的该多个频域资源可以是信道带宽中的部分频域资源,如第二信息指示的该多个频域资源可以是第一装置(或者第一装置所在的装置组)的可用的频域资源。
第一信令中的每个盘存信息可以对应该多个频域资源中的至少一个频域资源。具体地,第一信令中的盘存信息与频域资源的对应关系可以包括但不限于以下实施方式。
实施方式A,该多个盘存信息按照在第一信令中的排列顺序与该多个频域资源按照频率顺序依次对应。
例如,信道带宽中包括2个频域资源,第一信令包括2个盘存信息,该2个盘存信息按照在第一信令中的排列顺序与该2个频域资源按照频率由低到高的顺序或由高到低的顺序依次对应。比如,频域资源1的最低频率低于频域资源2的最低频率。该2个盘存信息按照在第一信令中的排列顺序与该2个频域资源按照频率由低到高的顺序依次对应,第一信令中的第一个盘存信息对应频率较低的频域资源1,第二个盘存信息对应频率较高的频域资源2。
可选地,该实施方式A可以与前文中信息类型指示的实施方式二相结合实施,第一信令中的每个第三指示信息对应一个频域资源。该第一信令中的多个第三指示信息按照在第一信令中的排列顺序与信道带宽的多个频域资源按照频率顺序依次对应。
例如图11所示的示例中,信道带宽可以包括4个频域资源,第一信令包括4个第三指示信息,该4个第三指示信息可以与该4个频域资源一一对应,该4个第三指示信息按照在第一信令中的排列顺序与4个频域资源按照频率由低到高的顺序依次对应。比如,频域资源1至频域资源4依次频率由低到高,则第一个第三指示信息“010”对应频域资源1,则该第三指示信息即指示了盘存信息1的信息类型,又指示了该盘存信息1对应的频域资源为频域资源1。需要响应该盘存信息1的通信装置可以在该盘存信息1对应的频域资源1上发送该盘存信息1的响应信息。例如,该盘存信息1可以是盘存确认信息,则响应该盘存确认信息的通信装置可以在该频域资源1上发送用于响应该盘存信息1的身份信息。再例如,该盘存信息1可以是盘存询问信息,若一个通信装置接收到该盘存询问信息后计数值减1后为0,则该通信装置响应于该盘存询问信息,在该盘存询问信息对应的频域资源1上发送RN16信息。
可选地,该第三指示信息的一个指示值可以指示第一信令中是否包含相应的频域资源对应的盘存信息。
例如,第三指示信息包括3比特,该3比特为“000”时表示第一信令中不包含相应的频域资源对应的盘存信息。如图12所示示例中,信道带宽包括4个频域资源,则该第一信令中的头部字段可以包括与该4个频域资源依次对应的4个第三指示信息,如该4个第三指示信息为LCID信息之后的12比特,其中,第一个第三指示信息指示“010”表示第一信令中的第一个盘存信息为盘存询问重复信息,根据该第三指示信息为4个第三指示信息中排列在第一个的第三指示信息,则表示该盘存询问重复信息对应的频域资源为频域资源1,若一个通信装置(例如第一装置)根据该盘存询问重复信息,将计数值减1后计数值为0,则该通信装置可以在该盘存询问重复信息对应的频域资源1上发送该通信装置的临时标识信息。该第一信令中的第二个和第三个第三指示信息指示“000”,则表示第一信令中不包含与频域资源2、频域资源3对应的盘存信息,第四个第三指示信息指示“001”,表示第二个盘存信息为盘存确认信息,且该盘存确认信息对应频域资源4。该盘存确认信息对应频域资源4可以表示第二装置在频域资源4接收到了RN16信息,该盘存确认信息可以包括该RN16信息中的通信装置的临时标识信息,在频域资源4上发送该临时标识信息的通信装置可以基于该盘存确认信息,在该频域资源4上再发送身份信息(如该通信装置的EPC)。
实施方式B,该多个盘存信息中的一个盘存信息包括一个第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示该一个该盘存信息对应的频域资源。
例如图13所示的第一信令中每个盘存信息可以包括一个头部字段,头部字段可以包括用于指示该盘存信息的信息类型的第三指示信息(如图13所示的LCID信息),以及,每个盘存信息中还包括第一指示信息,用于指示该盘存信息对应的频域资源。比如,盘存信息1中包括第一指示信息1,第一指示信息1可以指示盘存信息1对应的一个或多个频域资源。盘存信息2中的第一指示信息2可以指示盘存信息2对应的一个或多个频域资源。盘存信息n中的第一指示信息n可以指示盘存信息n对应的一个或多个频域资源。
再例如图14所示的第一信令中可以包括一个头部字段,以及每个盘存信息可以包括 一个第一指示信息,用于指示该盘存信息对应的一个或多个频域资源。如图14所示的第一信令中的头部字段可以包括指示每个盘存信息的信息类型的多个第三指示信息,或者,每个盘存信息可以包括一个第三指示信息,本申请对此不作限定。
一个示例中,第一指示信息可以包括2比特,该2比特可以指示盘存信息对应的4个频域资源中的一个频域资源,该盘存信息对应的频域资源用于承载该盘存信息的响应信息。如“00”可以指示频域资源1,“01”可以指示频域资源2,“10”可以指示频域资源3,“11”可以指示频域资源4。
另一个示例中,第一指示信息可以包括4比特,其中每2个比特指示盘存信息对应的4个频域资源中的一个频域资源,第一指示信息可以指示盘存信息对应的2个频域资源。
可选地,每个盘存信息中还可以包括用于指示该盘存信息对应的频域资源的数量的指示信息,第一装置可以基于一个盘存信息对应的频域资源的数量,确定该盘存信息对应的第一指示信息包含的比特数。例如,盘存信息1中指示了该盘存信息对应的频域资源的数量为1,则该盘存信息1可以包括2个比特,该2个比特指示一个频域资源,若盘存信息k中指示了该盘存信息对应的频域资源的数量为2,则该盘存信息k可以包括4个比特,其中,每2个比特指示一个频域资源。但本申请不限于此。
另一个示例中,一个第一指示信息可以是一个比特组(如位图(bitmap)),该比特组中的一个比特对应信道带宽中多个频域资源中的一个频域资源,用于指示盘存信息是否与该比特对应的频域资源相对应。
例如,图13或图14中的该第一信令中的第一指示信息1为4个比特的bitmap,该4个比特与信道带宽中的4个频域资源一一对应,其中,一个比特为“0”表示盘存信息1与该比特对应的频域资源不对应。比如,该第一指示信息1的bitmap为“0110”,其中第一个比特对应频域资源1,且该比特指示“0”表示盘存信息1与频域资源1不对应,bitmap中的第二个比特对应频域资源2,第三个比特对应频域资源3,且该两个比特均指示“1”,表示盘存信息1与频域资源2、频域资源3相对应,以及第四个比特指示“0”表示盘存信息1与频域资源4不对应。第一装置若接收到该第一信令,可以基于第一指示信息1确定盘存信息1对应的频域资源为频域资源2和频域资源3。其他盘存信息对应的第一指示信息也可以采用该方式指示盘存信息对应的频域资源,为了简要在此不再赘述。
可选地,该第一信令还可以包括上述用于指示第一数量的第二指示信息。
例如图15所示,该第二指示信息在第一信令的头部字段中,第一装置接收到该第一信令后可以根据该第一数量确定第一信令中包含的盘存信息的数量,以及该第一信令中的每个盘存信息还包括一个第一指示信息和一个第三指示信息,第一装置根据每个盘存信息的第一指示信息确定该盘存信息对应的频域资源,根据第三指示信息确定该盘存信息的信息类型。图16示出了一个具体示例,第一信令头部字段中的第二指示信息指示“10”表示该第一信令中包括2个盘存信息,该第一信令中的第一指示信息包含2比特,一种方式中,该2比特指示频域资源的索引,如“00”指示频域资源1,“01”指示频域资源2,“10”指示频域资源3,“11”指示频域资源4,则盘存信息1中的第一指示信息指示“01”表示盘存信息1对应频域资源2,盘存信息2中的第一指示信息指示“10”表示该盘存信息2对应频域资源3。另一种方式中,该第一指示信息的2比特为bitmap,如第一比特对应频域资源1,第二比特对应频域资源2,则盘存信息1中的第一指示信息指示“01”表示盘存信息1对应频域资源2,盘存信息2中的第一指示信息指示“10”表示该盘存信息2对应频域资源1。以 及,盘存信息中的第三指示信息指示了盘存信息的类型,如盘存信息1中的第三指示信息指示“010”可以表示盘存信息1为盘存询问重复信息,以及盘存信息2中的第三指示信息指示“100”可以表示盘存信息1为盘存否定确认信息。但本申请不限于此。
实施方式C,该第一信令还包括第一比特组,该第一比特组中的多个比特与该多个频域资源相对应,该第一比特组中的一个比特用于指示该第一信令中包括该一个比特对应的频域资源对应的盘存信息,或者,用于指示该第一信令中不包括该一个比特对应的频域资源对应的盘存信息。
例如,第一信令包括一个头部字段,该第一比特组可以包括在第一信令的头部字段中,如图17所示,该第一比特组位于LCID信息之后,例如该第一比特组为4个比特的bitmap,每个比特对应4个频域资源中的一个资源,如该4个比特与频域资源1至频域资源4依次对应,如4个比特为“1011”,第一个比特指示“1”表示该第一信令中的第一个盘存信息对应的频域资源为频域资源1,第二个比特指示“0”表示该第一信令不包括频域资源2对应的盘存信息,第三个比特、第四比特均指示“1”表示该第一信令中的第二个盘存信息、第三个盘存信息分别对应频域资源3、频域资源4。第一装置接收到该第一信令后,根据该第一比特组中指示“1”的比特数可以确定该第一信令中包含的盘存信息的个数,以及根据第一比特组中指示“1”的比特的排序可以确定每个盘存信息对应的频域资源。可选地,图17所示该第一信令中的每个盘存信息可以包括用于指示信息类型的一个第一指示信息和一个第三指示信息。或者,与多个盘存信息对应的多个第三指示信息可以包含在第一信令的头部字段,且本申请对该多个第三指示信息与该第一比特组在头部字段中的排列顺序不作限定。实施方式D,基于盘存信息的信息类型不同,第一信令中的盘存信息可以包括或不包括第一指示信息。
可选地,信息类型为询问类型的盘存信息可以不包括第一指示信息,询问类型的盘存信息可以包括盘存询问信息、盘存询问重复信息、盘存询问调节信息。第一信令中的询问类型的盘存信息对应的频域资源可以是第一信令中其他类型(如盘存确认信息、盘存否定信息)的盘存信息对应的频域资源以外的频域资源。
一个示例中,询问类型的盘存信息可以不包括第一指示信息。而询问类型以外的信息类型的盘存信息包括第一指示信息,如盘存确认信息、盘存否定确认信息。第一装置接收到第一信令后,可以根据第一信令中包含第一指示信息的盘存信息确定包含第一指示信息的盘存信息对应的频域资源,而第一信令中的第一指示信息指示的频域资源以外的频域资源为不包含第一指示信息的盘存信息对应的频域资源。
例如,信道带宽中包括4个频域资源,第一信令中包括两个盘存确认信息,每个盘存确认信息对应的一个第一指示信息,其中,一个第一指示信息指示相应的盘存确认信息对应频域资源1,另一个第一指示信息指示相应的盘存确认信息对应频域资源3。比如,其中一个盘存确认信息确认第二装置在频域资源1上接收到的RN16信息1,另一个盘存确认信息确认第二装置在频域资源3上接收到的RN16信息2。若一个通信装置在接收到第一信令之前,在频域资源1上发送了该RN16信息1,则该通信装置在接收到该第一信令后可以在频域资源1向第二装置反馈身份信息(如EPC),或一个通信装置在接收到第一信令之前,在频域资源3上发送了该RN16信息2,则该通信装置在接收到该第一信令后可以在频域资源3向第二装置反馈身份信息(如EPC)。
第一信令除上述两个盘存信息以外还包括一个盘存询问重复信息,共包括3个盘存信 息。该第一信令可以不包括该盘存询问重复信息对应的第一指示信息,该盘存询问重复信息对应频域资源为该第一信令中的两个盘存确认信息对应的频域资源以外的频域资源,即该盘存重复询问信息对应频域资源2和频域资源4。由于非询问类的盘存信息(如盘存确认信息)需要相应地通信装置在对应的频域资源上发送响应信息,因此,询问类的盘存信息可以与非询问类的盘存信息对应的频域资源以外的频域资源相对应。若一个通信装置在接收到询问类的盘存信息后计数值为0,则可以在该盘存信息对应的频域资源中的一个频域资源上发送RN16信息,可选地,若该询问类的盘存信息对应多个频域资源,该通信装置可以随机选择一个频域资源发送RN16信息。
在上述实施方式中,盘存确认信息对应的频域资源可以是第二装置确认接收到临时标识信息的频域资源,并且可以规定一个通信装置(如一个标签)在盘存过程中仅在一个频域资源上发送上行信息,如一个标签在频域资源2上发送了RN16信息,则该通信装置接收到盘存确认信息后,也将在该频域资源2上发送身份信息。但本申请不限于此,在另一种实施方式中,第一信令包括盘存确认信息,该盘存确认信息可以对应多个频域资源,该多个频域资源中包括确认已接收到RN16信息的频域资源,以及通信装置发送身份信息的频域资源。
例如,一个盘存确认信息对应2个频域资源,比如第一指示信息可以包括4比特,前2个比特用于指示确认已接收到RN16信息的频域资源,后2个比特用于指示通信装置发送身份信息的频域资源。如该第一指示信息指示“1000”,则前2个比特为“10”表示第二装置在频域资源3接收到了RN16信息,具体接收到的RN16信息中的标识信息可以包含在该盘存确认信息的信息字段中,比如第一装置接收第一信令前在频域资源3上发送了RN16信息,该RN16信息包括该第一装置的标识信息,该盘存确认信息中的信息字段包括该第一装置的标识信息,第一装置确定第二装置接收到了其发送的RN16信息,则第一装置在后2个比特“00”指示频域资源1上发送身份信息。在该实施方式中,若第一信令还包括询问类盘存信息,该询问类的盘存信息对应的频域资源为盘存确认信息中指示发送身份信息的频域资源1以外的频域资源。
询问类型的盘存信息对应的频域资源可以是通信装置发送该询问类型的盘存信息的响应信息的频域资源。另外,第一信令中的盘存信息还可以是盘存否定(NACK)信息,该盘存否定信息对应的频域资源可以是第二装置未成功解出身份信息的频域资源。例如,通信装置向第二装置在频域资源A上发送了EPC,但是第二装置并未成功解出该EPC,如CRC校验未成功等。该第二装置可以向该通信装置发送盘存否定信息,该盘存否定信息对应的频域资源为频域资源A,表示第二装置在频域资源A未成功解出EPC。发送该EPC的通信装置接收到该盘存否定信息后,可以确定第二装置为未成功接收到其发送的EPC,则该通信装置将参与下一轮盘存。
S602,第一装置在第一频域资源上发送第一信息,该第一信息为第一盘存信息的响应信息。
相应地,第二装置在第一频域资源接收来自第一装置的该第一信息。
例如,第一盘存信息可以是盘存询问信息,该盘存询问信息可以对应该第一频域资源,或者,该盘存询问信息可以对应多个频域资源,该多个频域资源中包括该第一频域资源,第一装置接收到该第一信令后,基于该盘存询问信息将计数值减1后计数值为0,则第一装置在该第一频域资源上发送RN16信息(即第一信息的一个示例),以响应第二装置的 盘存询问信息。若盘存询问信息对应多个频域资源,第一装置可以在该多个频域资源中随机选择到第一频域资源发送RN16信息。该RN16信息包括第一装置的标识信息。或者,第一盘存信息还可以是其他询问类的盘存信息,本申请对此不作限定。
再例如,第一盘存信息可以是盘存确认信息。第一装置在接收第一信令之前,在第一频域资源上发送了RN16信息,该RN16信息包括该第一装置的标识信息。第一装置接收到该第一信令,该盘存确认信息指示第二装置在第一频域资源上接收到了第一装置的标识信息,则该第一装置在第一频域资源上发送身份信息(即第一信息),以响应第二装置的盘存确认信息。
可选地,第一信令中包括第二盘存信息,第三装置在第二频域资源上发送该第二盘存信息的响应信息。
信道带宽划分了用于承载上行信息的多个频域资源,使得多个装置的可以并行的执行盘存流程。能够提高资源利用率,减小了上行信息资源冲突的概率以及盘存流程的时延,能够提高盘存的效率。
可选地,第一信令可以包括多个询问类型的盘存信息,计数值不为0的通信装置基于第一信令中询问类型的盘存信息的个数K,确定计数值减1的次数K,或者确定计数值减K。当计数值减到0或者计数值减K后不为正数,则通信装置发送RN16信息。
例如,第一信令中包括2个盘存询问重复信息,则计数值不为0的通信装置接收到该第一信令后可以确定执行2次计数值减1,若其中一次减1后计数值为0,则该通信装置确定向第二装置发送RN16信息。或者,计数值不为0的通信装置将计数值减2,若得到的计数值不是正数,则通信装置确定向第二装置发送RN16信息。
一个示例中,该多个询问类型的盘存信息在第一信令中依次排列,且对应不同的频域资源,通信装置若第一次将计数值减1后计数值为0,则该通信装置在第一个询问类型的盘存信息对应的频域资源上发送RN16信息;若第二次将计数值减1后计数值为0,则该通信装置在第二个询问类型的盘存信息对应的频域资源上发送RN16信息,其他以此类推。
另一个示例中,该多个询问类型的盘存信息对应多个频域资源,如该多个询问类型的盘存信息不包括第一指示信息,其对应非询问类盘存信息以外的多个频域资源,发送RN16信息的通信装置可以在多个询问类型的盘存信息对应的多个频域资源中随机选择一个频域资源发送RN16信息。可选地,多个询问类型的盘存信息的个数可以少于对应的频域资源的个数,能够减小冲突的概率,但本申请不限于此。
可选地,若第一信令中仅包含一个询问类型的盘存信息,该询问类型的盘存信息对应多个频域资源。多个通信装置中的通信装置可以根据多个频域资源中的频域资源的个数减少计数器的计数值。
例如,该多个频域资源中频域资源的个数为4,若一个通信装置计数值减1后计数值为0,则该通信装置在该4个频域资源中按照频率顺序排列的第一个频域资源上发送RN16信息;若另一个通信装置计数值减2后计数值为0,则该通信装置在该4个频域资源中按照频率顺序排列的第二个频域资源上发送RN16信息。而在第三个频域资源上,可以承载计数值减3后计数值为0的通信装置发送的RN16信息,而在第四个频域资源上,可以承载计数值减4后计数值为0的通信装置发送的RN16信息。但本申请不限于此,通信装置还可以按照频率资源的标识信息的由大到小或由小到大的顺序,确定相应的发送RN16信息的频域资源,或者基于其他方式确定。
或者,一个通信装置的计数值减1后计数值为0,该通信装置在第一个和第二个频域资源上发送RN16信息,一个通信装置的计数值减2后计数值为0,该通信装置在第三个和第四个频域资源上发送RN16信息。但本申请不限于此。
可选地,第一信令中仅包含一个询问类型的盘存信息,该询问类型的盘存信息对应多个频域资源,则该第一信令可以一个指示信息,用于指示发送RN16信息的方式。比如该指示信息包括1比特,该1比特为0时,计数值减1后计数值为0的通信装置发送RN16信息。该1比特为1时,计数值减1后计数值为0的通信装置以及计数值减2后计数值为0的通信设备均发送RN16信息。这些通信装置可以在该询问类型的盘存信息对应的多个频域资源上随机选择一个频域资源发送RN16信息。
或者,该第一信令中也可以不包含该指示信息,可以基于响应盘存信息的方式定义两个种类的询问类型的盘存信息,其中一个种类的询问类型的盘存信息,需要由计数值减1后计数值为0的通信装置响应该盘存信息,发送RN16信息;另一个种类的询问类型的盘存信息,可以由计数值减1后计数值为0的通信装置,计数值减2后计数值为0的通信装置响应该盘存信息,发送RN16信息。该两个种类的询问类型的盘存信息可以通过第三指示信息指示,如可以通过不同的LCID信息指示。应理解,上述需要多个通信装置响应的询问类型的盘存信息,可以基于具体实施确定需要响应的通信装置计数值减小的数值,上述仅以计数值减1后为0的通信装置和计数值减2后为0的通信装置均响应该种类的询问类型的盘存信息为例进行说明,但本申请不限于此。
在一种实施方式中,第二装置可以对一个通信装置组进行盘存,该通信装置组的盘存信息可以复用(或者说承载在)同一个信令(如第一信令),该通信装置组中的一个通信装置可以在多个频域资源中的一个频域资源发送上行信息,例如,通信装置可以在盘存询问信息对应的一个或多个频域资源中随机选择一个频域资源发送上行信息,且在盘存流程中选定一个频域资源后,上行信息均在该频域资源上发送。或者通信装置可以基于盘存信息的指示,确定发送上行信息的频域资源。本申请对此不作限定。
例如图17A所示,信道带宽包括用于发送上行信息的多个频域资源,第二装置为阅读器。该阅读器向一个标签组发送盘存询问信息后,该标签组中的标签1的计数值为0,则标签1可以在多个频域资源中的频域资源1上发送RN16信息,该RN16信息包括第一装置的临时标识信息。阅读器在频域资源1上接收到RN16信息后,发送第一信令,该第一信令包括2个盘存信息,其中一个为盘存确认信息,该盘存确认信息用于指示第二装置确认在频域资源1上接收到了第一装置的临时标识信息,则标签1接收到第一信令后响应于盘存确认信息在频域资源1上发送EPC信息。该第一信令还包括盘存询问重复信息,该标签组中计数值不为0的标签接收到该第一信令后,基于盘存询问重复信息,将计数值减1,其中标签2的计数值减1后为0,则标签2可以在频域资源2上发送RN16信息。
一个示例中,阅读器发送的询问信息可以对应一个或多个频域资源,该一个或多个频域资源包括频域资源1,标签1在该一个或多个频域资源中选择频域资源1发送上行信息,例如可以是随机选择的,但本申请不限于此。这种实施方式中,标签可以在多个频域资源中随机选择一个频域资源发送RN16信息,若该标签组中的多个标签的计数值为0时,可以减小标签资源碰撞的概率,提高盘存的效率。第一信令中的盘存询问重复信息可以对应一个或多个频域资源,如第一信令包括该盘存询问重复信息对应的第一指示信息,该第一指示信息指示了该盘存询问重复信息对应的频域资源(如频域资源1以外的频域资源), 标签2可以在盘存询问重复信息对应的频域资源中选择频域资源2发送RN16信息。实现了不同标签可以同时执行盘存流程,提高了阅读器对标签盘存的效率。
在该实施方式中,阅读器可以将该标签组的多个盘存信息承载在同一信令中发送给该标签组,而对于不同标签组,第二装置可以在不同时刻发送不同标签组的盘存信息。
在另一种实施方式中,第二装置可以对多个通信装置组进行盘存,其中,每个通信装置组对应一个或多个频域资源。不同通信装置组的盘存信息可以复用(或者说承载在)一个信令(如第一信令)中。每个通信装置组中的通信装置在该通信装置组对应的频域资源上发送上行信息。第一信令可以包括一个或多个通信装置组的盘存信息,具体每个通信装置组中的通信装置可以根据盘存信息对应的频域资源确定是否为该通信装置组的盘存信息。
例如,该多个通信装置组中的通信装置配置有该通信装置所属的通信装置组的组号与频域资源的对应关系,比如,通信装置组1对应频域资源1和频域资源2,通信装置组2对应频域资源3和4。一个通信装置接收到一个信令后,可以基于盘存信息对应的频域资源2,通信装置组1中的通信装置可以确定该盘存信息为该通信装置组1的盘存信息。通信装置组2中的通信装置可以确定盘存信息不是该通信装置组2的盘存信息。
可选地,第二装置可以通过通知信息(例如,选择(select)信息)通知该通信装置组中通信装置,该通信装置组对应的频域资源。
例如图18所示,信道带宽包括用于发送上行信息的多个频域资源,第二装置为阅读器,标签组1用于发送上行信息的频域资源为频域资源1,标签组2用于发送上行信息的频域资源为频域资源2。该阅读器发送信令1(即第一信令的一个示例),该信令1包括盘存询问信息1和盘存询问信息2,其中盘存询问信息1对应频域资源1,盘存询问信息2对应频域资源2,标签组1中的标签可以确定信令1中的盘存询问信息1为该标签组1的盘存信息,该标签组1中包含计数值为0的标签,则该标签在频域资源1上发送RN16信息,标签组2中的标签1可以确定盘存询问信息2为该标签组2的盘存信息,该标签组2中包含计数值为0的标签2,则该标签在频域资源2上发送RN16信息,若该标签组1或标签组2中不包含计数值为0的标签,则相应的频域资源上不承载RN16信息。阅读器分别在频域资源1、频域资源2上接收到RN16信息后,发送信令2(即第一信令的另一个示例),该信令2中可以包括频域资源1对应的盘存确认信息1(即ACK1)和频域资源2对应的盘存确认信息2(即ACK2)。每组标签基于盘存信息对应的频域资源,确定属于该标签组的盘存信息并在相应地频域资源上发送相应地响应信息。如标签1响应于盘存确认信息1发送该标签1的EPC信息,标签2响应于盘存确认信息2发送该标签2的EPC信息。
以上示例中通信装置基于盘存信息对应的频域资源是否与通信装置组对应的频域资源一致,判断该盘存信息是否为该通信装置组的盘存信息。但本申请不限于此,可选地,盘存信息可以包括通信装置组的标识信息,通信装置接收到盘存信息后,可以基于盘存信息中的通信装置组的标识信息确定该盘存信息是否为该通信装置组的盘存信息。
根据本申请实施例的方案,阅读器可以在一个信令中发送多个盘存信息,每个盘存信息对应至少一个频域资源,能够实现多个标签在不同频域资源上并行执行盘存流程,提高了资源利用率,减小了盘存的时延,提高了阅读器盘存的效率。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例一以盘存信息为例说明了当信道带宽包含多个频域资源 时,多个下行信息可以复用在同一信令(如第一信令)中,应理解本申请提供的技术方案并不限于盘存信息,对于非盘存相关的信息(如读(read)信息、写(write)信息等)也可以采用类似的方式复用在同一信令中,该信令中的每个信息(可以是盘存信息,也可以是非盘存相关的信息)可以对应信道带宽中的至少一个频域资源。具体实施方式可以参考前文中的描述,为了简要,在此不再赘述。

在该示例中,该盘存确认信息可以不包括第一指示信息,第一装置可以是在第一频域资源上发送了RN16信息,则第一装置接收到该盘存确认信息后,继续使用该第一频域资源发送身份信息。例如,可以预先规定通信装置在同一频域资源上发送不同的上行信息,使得第一装置与第二装置达成共识,第二装置在接收到第一装置的RN16信息的第一频域资源上,接收第一装置的身份信息。或者,该盘存确认信息中包括第一指示信息,该第一指示信息指示了该第一频域资源,该第一频域资源用于传输盘存确认信息的响应信息,则第一装置根据该第一指示信息,在第一频域资源上发送身份信息。
另一个示例中,该盘存信息可以是盘存询问信息,盘存询问重复信息或盘存询问调节信息,第一装置根据该盘存信息,将计数值减1后计数值为0,则第一装置发送RN16信息,该RN16信息包括该第一装置的临时标识信息(即第一标识信息的一个示例),比如第一装置可以生成的16位随机数作为该第一装置的临时标识信息。第一装置可以在第二信息指示的多个频域资源中随机选择了该第一频域资源发送该RN16信息,或者,该盘存询问信息包括第一指示信息,该第一指示信息指示了该盘存询问信息对应的第一频域资源,则第一装置在该第一频域资源上发送该RN16信息,或者第一指示信息指示了盘存询问信息对应的多个频域资源,该多个频域资源包括第一频域资源,第一装置在第一指示信息指示的多个频域资源中随机选择了该第一频域资源发送该RN16信息。
可选地,该第二装置向第一装置发送盘存确认信息,该盘存确认信息包括至少一个标识信息,该至少一个标识信息为第二装置确认在多个频域资源中接收到的标识信息,该至少一个标识信息包括该第一标识信息。
例如,该第一标识信息为该第一装置的临时标识信息,第二装置在第一频域资源接收 到该第一标识信息后,发送该盘存确认信息,该盘存确认信息包括第二装置在该多个频域资源上接收到的至少一个标识信息,如第二装置除了在第一频域资源接收到该第一标识信息以外,还在第二频域资源接收到了第二标识信息,则该盘存确认信息还包括第二频域资源接收到的该第二标识信息。如第二装置在第三频域资源上未接收到(或未成功接收到)标识信息,则该盘存确认信息中不包括第三频域资源对应的标识信息。
可选地,该盘存确认信息可以不包括频域资源的指示信息,通信装置接收到来自该盘存确认信息后,若盘存确认信息中包含了该通信装置在接收到该盘存确认信息之前发送的标识信息,则该通信装置可以确定第二装置确认接收到了其发送的标识信息,该通信装置可以向第二装置发送身份信息;若盘存确认信息中不包含该通信装置发送的标识信息,则该通信装置确定第二装置未接收到其发送的标识信息。
可选地,该盘存确认信息包括第二数量,该第二数量为该盘存确认信息中包含的标识信息的数量。第一装置可以根据该第二数量确定该盘存确认信息的长度。
可选地,该盘存确认信息还可以包括第四指示信息,该第四指示信息用于指示盘存确认信息中的每个标识信息对应的多个频域资源中的一个频域资源。
第四指示信息可以包括但不限于如下两种指示方式:
方式一,该第四指示信息包括第二比特组(如位图(bitmap)),该第二比特组中的多个比特与该多个频域资源一一对应,该第二比特组中的一个比特用于指示该盘存确认信息中包括在该一个比特对应的频域资源上接收到的标识信息,或者用于指示该盘存确认信息中不包括在该一个比特对应的频域资源接收到的标识信息。
该盘存确认信息可以包括如图20所示的第二比特组和n个标识信息。例如,第二信息指示了4个频域资源,该第二比特组包括4个比特,其中该4个比特与4个频域资源依次对应,一个比特指示“1”表示该盘存确认信息中包括该比特对应的频域资源上接收到的标识信息,指示“0”表示该盘存确认信息中不包括该比特对应的频域资源上接收到的标识信息。比如该第二比特组的4个比特为“1011”,第一装置可以根据该第二比特组中指示“1”的比特个数,确定该盘存确认信息中包含的标识信息的个数。并且根据指示“1”的比特的位置,确定接收到标识信息的频域资源,如根据第一个比特指示“1”确定盘存确认信息中的第一个标识信息,即标识信息1为频域资源1上接收到的标识信息,第二个比特指示“0”表示未在频域资源2上接收到标识信息,第三个比特指示“1”表示盘存确认信息中的第二个标识信息(即第三个比特为第二个指示“1”的比特)为频域资源3上接收到的标识信息,同理,根据第四个比特指示“1”可以确定盘存确认信息中的第三个标识信息为频域资源4上接收到的标识信息。
方式二,该第四指示信息包括至少一个指示域,该盘存至少一个指示域与该至少一个标识信息一一对应,一个该指示域用于指示接收到该一个该指示域对应的该标识信息的频域资源。
该盘存确认信息可以包括如图21所示的n个指示域以及每个指示域对应的标识信息。例如,第二信息指示了4个频域资源,第二装置在第一频域资源接收到了第一装置发送的第一标识信息,以及在第二频域资源接收到了第二标识信息,则该盘存确认信息包括2个指示域和2个标识信息,其中,指示域1可以指示第一频域资源,如第一频域资源的索引为00,则指示域1指示00,且指示域1对应的标识信息为第一标识信息,第一装置接收到该盘存确认信息后可以确定第二装置接收到了其发送的第一标识信息。该盘存确认信息 还包括指示域2,如第二频域资源的索引为01,则指示域2指示01,且指示域2对应的标识信息为第二标识信息。
