具体实施方式
在下文中，将参照附图详细地描述本公开的优选实施例。注意，在本说明书和附图中，用相同的附图标记来表示具有基本上相同的功能和结构的结构元件，并且省略对这些结构元件的重复说明。
SFN传输方案要求网络(NW)从两个发送接收点(TRP)同时给UE传输相同内容的数据或控制信息，且完全占用相同的时频资源。这就要求给从多个TRP的发送出来的CORESET进行2个传输配置信息(TCI)状态的激活。图1是示出高速移动场景中的SFN传输方式的示意图。如图1所示，高铁上的UE 130与TRP 110和TRP 120进行SFN传输。UE 130的天线面板同时朝向不同的TRP。
本公开提供了适用于SFN传输模式的波束失败恢复(BFR)过程，包括波束失败检测以及新波束的发现和上报。本公开的波束失败恢复过程包括4个步骤。第一步是UE对下行链路的波束失败检测，即BFD。第二步是UE进行波束失败上报，即BFRQ。如果该步骤是基于上行媒体接入控制(MAC)控制元素(CE)的上报，那么它可以被进一步地拆分为2个子步骤，因为UE还需要为承载MAC CE的物理上行共享信道(PUSCH)来申请资源，即UE向NW发送调度请求。如果该步骤是基于物理随机接入信道(PRACH)的过程，那么从物理层的角度看，只需要一个步骤即可。第三步是NW对于波束失败上报的请求的响应，即BFRR。第四步是波束失败的恢复，即UE将失败的波束恢复成新上报的波束。
在实际的SFN传输过程中，除了非UE专用PDCCH信道，其他的UE专用PDCCH都是通过SFN传输方式传输的。在原始的SFN传输方式中，当UE接入网络之后，由NW通过RRC信令对UE进行配置。UE完成RRC配置后往往仅使用UE专用信道。这些UE专用信道在SFN模式下要使用2个激活的TCI状态。
另外，需要说明的是，对于PDCCH来说，如果它所在的CORESET关联的搜索空间集如果是Type0/0a/1/2的类型的话，那么该PDCCH以及它所调度的信道和信号属于非UE专用的类型，一般不使用SFN传输。
图2是示出非UE专用BFD RS和UE专用BFD RS的示意图。如图2所示，网络设备210和网络设备220利用UE专用CORESET与UE 230进行SFN传输。在该UE专用CORESET上承载了BFD参考信号(RS)对#1，包括BFD RS#1和BFD RS#2。此 外，网络设备220还利用非UE专用CORESET(例如，与特定CSS关联的CORESET#0)进行非SFN传输，其上承载了BFD RS#0。
下面将描述根据本公开的实施例的网络设备和UE中的波束失败恢复过程。在本公开的实施例中，网络设备和/或UE中的处理可以由其自身或其部件(例如，诸如芯片的电子设备)执行。该电子设备可以包括处理电路。该处理电路可以向网络设备和/或UE中的其它部件输出信号(数字或模拟)，也可以从网络设备和/或UE中的其它部件接收信号(数字或模拟)。此外，处理电路还可以网络设备和/或UE中的其它部件的部分或全部操作。
处理电路可以是通用处理器的形式，也可以是专用处理电路，例如ASIC。例如，处理电路能够由电路(硬件)或中央处理设备(诸如，中央处理单元(CPU))构造。此外，处理电路上可以承载用于使电路(硬件)或中央处理设备工作的程序(软件)。该程序能够存储在存储器(诸如，布置在分布式节点和/或中央处理装置或电子设备中)或从外面连接的外部存储介质中，以及经网络(诸如，互联网)下载。
图3是示出根据本公开的实施例的波束失败恢复过程300的流程图。UE以单载频网络的模式与包括多个网络设备的网络设备组通信。
在步骤S302，UE确定用于进行波束失败检测的参考信号组(BFD RS组)，并利用该参考信号组进行波束失败检测。该参考信号组中的参考信号与网络设备组中的网络设备对应。在本公开的一些实施例中，网络设备组中的网络设备的数量和参考信号组中的参考信号的数量均为2。图4是示出利用两个网络设备进行SFN传输的示意图。在图4中，UE 430与两个网络设备(网络设备410和网络设备420)进行SFN传输。
可以通过显式或隐式的方式确定BFD RS组。如果选择显式BFD RS的话，网络设备通过无线电资源控制(RRC)信令为UE配置K个BFD RS组，每个BFD RS组中的RS分别来自于各自所对应的网络设备。UE从网络设备组接收RRC信令，该RRC信令指示BFD RS组。
如果选择隐式的BFD RS的话，那么UE需要根据UE专用PDCCH所在的CORESET中的TCI状态的下行链路(DL)RS作为BFD RS。UE将与网络设备组对应的两个或更多个TCI状态中的两个或更多个下行链路参考信号作为BFD RS组。
在本公开的一些实施例中，可以选择周期性的信道状态信息参考信号(CSI-RS)或同步信号块(SSB(本身就是周期性的))作为BFD RS。
在步骤S304，UE判断是否检测到波束失败。UE可以通过评估BFD RS组的下行 链路信道的质量来判断是否检测到波束失败。在BFD RS组的下行链路信道的质量差的情况下确定检测到波束失败。
在本公开的一些实施例中，UE计算BFD RS组的联合接收信号质量来评估下行链路信道。联合接收信号质量是指将BFD RS组中的BFD RS信号均作为有用信号而计算出的接收信号质量。例如，UE计算联合BLER来表征下行SFN传输模式下的信道质量。需要注意的是在这种SFN模式下，UE认为来自网络设备组的信号都是有用信号，而不是干扰。举例来说，在两个网络设备进行SFN传输的情况下，首先测量来自两个网络设备的有用信号强度，如S1和S2，然后测量总体的干扰加噪声(I+N)，从而得出信干噪比SINR＝(S1+S2)/(I+N)。随后，UE可以通过自己的接收机结构得到一个SINR到BLER的映射关系。例如，SINR＝0dB的时候，BLER为0.01。从而UE可以从1个BFD RS组中计算出联合的一个BLER。
在本公开的一些实施例中，UE计算BFD RS组中的每个BFD RS的单独的接收信号质量来评估下行链路信道。例如，UE根据BFD RS组中的每个BFD RS来分别计算单独的BLER，并根据所有计算出的BLER来评估下行链路信道的质量。例如，UE可以选择所有计算出的BLER中的最小值作为该SFN传输模式的信道质量。
当UE支持联合BLER时，UE可以计算联合BLER，并根据联合BLER评估下行链路信道。当UE不支持联合BLER时，UE可以计算每个BFD RS的单独的BLER，并通过预设算法利用所有计算出的BLER评估下行链路信道。
在本公开的一些实施例中，UE向网络设备组发送能力信息，该能力信息指示UE对于每个带宽部分、每个分量载波或者每个UE能够检测的最大数量的BFD RS组。网络设备能够根据UE的能力信息为UE配置其能力范围内的BFD RS。
在检测到波束失败的情况下，处理流程300前进到步骤S306。在步骤S306，US通过向网络设备发送波束失败恢复请求来执行波束失败上报(BFRQ)过程。
在本公开的一些实施例中，UE在物理上行控制信道调度请求(PUCCH-SR)中请求PUSCH资源，并且在媒体接入控制控制元素(MAC CE)中指示一个或多个新波束。这里所说的PUCCH-SR是用来承载SR的PUCCH资源，它的作用是向网络设备申请上行资源(即PUSCH)来承载MAC CE。
PUCCH-SR可以有两种模式。第一种模式是PUCCH-SR按照SFN的模式来传输。UE以SFN模式向网络设备组发送PUCCH-SR。图5是示出以SFN模式传输PUCCH-SR的示意图。如图5所示，UE 530使用上行SFN的方式来将PUCCH-SR发送给包括网络 设备510和网络设备520的多个网络设备。这样做的好处是在多个网络设备处，PUCCH的发送具有空间分集的增益。第二种模式是UE向网络设备组的其中一个来发送PUCCH-SR，这个网络设备是UE从多个网络设备中选择的、自认为性能较好的，或者是由网络指定的。
图6是示出在BFR过程的BFRQ过程中利用PUCCH-SR的示意图。在图6中，BFRQ过程通过UE 620向网络设备610发送PUCCH-SR，网络设备610向UE 620发送UL许可作为响应以及UE在接收到UL许可之后向网络设备610发送MAC CE来实现。
MAC CE可以指示一个或多个新波束。在MAC CE指示与一个DL RS对应的一个新波束的情况下，UE不再与网络设备组中的多个网络设备进行SFN通信，而是与网络设备组中的单个网络设备进行非SFN通信。在MAC CE指示与多个DL RS对应的多个新波束的情况下，UE继续与网络设备组中的多个网络设备进行SFN通信。因此，恢复到SFN模式还是非SFN模式是由UE自己决定的。另外，除了从正在为UE服务的小区内选择可以恢复的波束外，我们也可以考虑UE告知网络设备它想恢复到一些当前的非服务小区(这些非服务的小区可以让UE进行一定的测量，且激活了部分的TCI状态)。
此外，UE还可以在MAC CE中上报比网络设备组中的网络设备数量更多的新波束。网络设备通过后续的特定搜索空间中PDCCH的确认来告知UE应该恢复到一个波束的单个网络设备模式，还是SFN模式。具体来说，网络设备可以在DCI中TCI字段中直接给出恢复后的DL RS。DL RS如果是1个，则UE恢复到单个网络设备模式。DL RS如果是2个，则UE恢复到多个网络设备的SFN模式。
在本公开的一些实施例中，UE发送与一个或多个新波束对应的前导码。当UE被配置为可以恢复到SFN模式的时候，UE可以发送与多个新波束对应的前导码。当UE被配置为只能恢复到单个网络设备模式的时候，UE可以发送与一个新波束对应的前导码。如果两种模式都可行的时候，UE可以自行决定到底是要恢复到哪种模式。
在步骤S308，UE从网络设备组中的网络设备接收波束失败恢复响应，该波束失败恢复响应指示至少一个新波束。对于恢复到SFN模式的响应，可以通过多个网络设备以SFN的模式来发送DCI来和UE进行确认。对于恢复到单个网络设备模式的响应，可以通过UE选定的网络设备来发送对应的DCI来和UE进行确认。这里的确认DCI当中本身并不需要包含特定的TCI状态，只需要是从特定搜索空间中发出就可以了。
在步骤S310，UE使用至少一个新波束与TPR组中的至少一个网络设备通信。在恢复到SFN模式的情况下，UE与多个网络设备以SFN模式通信。在恢复到单个网络设备 模式的情况下，UE与选定的网络设备进行非SFN通信。
如果在BFD过程中使用隐式的BFD RS，则UE通过CORESET中的TCI状态中的DL RS来确定BFD RS。由于CORESET中的TCI状态可以通过DCI动态地更新，所以在波束失败恢复之后，CORESET的TCI状态也能够动态更新为新的波束。自然地，BFD RS也就跟着得到了更新。
然而，如果在BFD过程中使用显式的BFD RS，则BFD RS是由RRC信令来配置的。如果通过RRC信令来动态更新BFD RS，则开销会比较大。考虑到Rel.17中新定义了统一TCI状态，本公开提出利用DCI中的统一TCI状态来更新BFD RS。
图7是示出根据本公开的实施例的利用统一TCI状态的波束失败恢复过程700。
在步骤S702，UE利用配置的参考信号进行波束失败检测。该配置的参考信号可以根据统一TCI状态来更新。在步骤S704，UE判断是否检测到波束失败。如果检测到波束失败，则在步骤S706，UE向网络设备发送波束失败恢复请求，所述波束失败恢复请求指示UE希望使用的新波束。在步骤S708，UE从网络设备接收波束失败恢复响应，所述波束失败恢复响应指示网络设备确认的新波束。在步骤S709，UE使用网络设备确认的新波束与网络设备通信。
在本公开的一些实施例中，波束失败恢复请求指示统一TCI状态。在第一种情况下，波束失败恢复请求指示的统一DCI状态可以是上行链路TCI状态，以仅恢复上行链路信道和/或信号到该上行链路TCI状态。在第二种情况下，波束失败恢复请求指示的统一DCI状态可以是下行链路TCI状态，以仅恢复下行链路信道和/或信号到该下行链路TCI状态。在第三种情况下，波束失败恢复请求指示的统一DCI状态可以是上行链路TCI状态和下行链路TCI状态，以恢复上行链路信道和/或信号到该上行链路TCI状态，并且恢复下行链路信道和/或信号到该下行链路TCI状态。在第三种情况下，下行链路和伤心过脸露可以恢复到不同的波束方向。在第四种情况下，波束失败恢复请求指示的统一DCI状态可以是联合TCI状态，以恢复下行链路和上行链路信道/信号到该联合TCI状态。
在本公开的一些实施例中，波束失败恢复请求包括TCI域的激活的码点。这样可以避免TCI状态重新激活所带来的时间消耗。图8是示出TCI状态的示意图。在图8中，最左边是RRC配置的TCI状态的池子，最多可以有128个TCI状态。因为TCI状态太多，DCI没有办法直接进行指示。所以需要MAC CE从最多128个TCI状态中激活8个TCI状态。DCI中的TCI状态域最多包含3个比特，相当于8个码 点。每一个码点都一一对应着MAC CE激活的TCI状态。因为这8个码点对应的TCI状态都是激活的状态，所以如果UE直接上报8个TCI状态中的1个TCI状态，那么不需要去激活新的TCI状态，从而减少了一定的延时。
在本公开的一些实施例中，对被配置为共享统一TCI状态的信道、信号和分量载波中的一个或多个使用网络设备确认的新波束与网络设备通信。网络设备通过配置来决定哪些信道、信号和分量载波可以共享网络设备指示的统一TCI状态。共享统一TCI状态的信道、信号和/或分量载波在BFR之后可以恢复到相同的波束上。例如，PDCCH、PDSCH和/或CSI-RS可以共享下行链路的统一TCI状态。PUSCH、PUCCH和/或SRS可以共享上行链路的统一TCI状态。PDCCH、PDSCH、CSI-RS、PUSCH、PUCCH和/或SRS可以共享联合TCI状态。
另外，还可以将一些CC恢复到相同的波束上。基于配置的CC列表，当发生BFRR之后，UE可以认为该列表中的CC上的所有对应的波束都恢复到了新的波束上。
