Abstract

一种无线通信的方法、终端设备和网络设备,该方法包括:终端设备向网络设备发送第一信息,所述第一信息包括在目标小区下或目标小区组合下所述终端设备支持的间隔信息。

Description

无线通信的方法、终端设备和网络设备 技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信领域,具体涉及一种无线通信的方法、终端设备和网络设备。
背景技术
在一些场景中,终端设备可以向网络设备上报测量间隔需求,用于指示该终端设备是否支持无间隔(no-gap)的异频(inter-frequency)测量。网络控制的小间隔(Network Control Small Gap,NCSG)可以看作是一种增强型的测量间隔(Measurement Gap,MG),基于NCSG在去激活或者休眠(dormant)带宽部分(Band Width Part,BWP)对应的辅小区上的测量是利用分配给该辅小区的射频或基带资源进行测量,因此不会对主小区(Pcell)和其他激活辅小区(Scell)的数据传输造成较长的中断。
在一些场景中,考虑引入NCSG的测量间隔需求上报,但是,NCSG和Scell的状态相关,Scell的状态可以通过动态信令快速触发,如果网络设备频繁请求终端设备上报测量间隔需求,会造成额外的时延和信令交互。

通过上述技术方案,终端设备向网络设备上报在目标小区或目标小区组合下终端设备支持的间隔信息。这样,当网络设备动态激活或去激活一个或多个小区,或者,唤醒或休眠一个或多个小区时,网络设备可以不必频繁请求终端设备可以上报其支持的间隔信息,而只需根据当前激活或唤醒的小区或小区组合,结合终端设备上报的在目标小区或目标小区组合下终端设备支持的间隔信息,即可确定终端设备在当前激活或唤醒的小区或小区组合下所支持的间隔信息,有利于降低信令开销。

为便于理解本申请实施例的技术方案,以下通过具体实施例详述本申请的技术方案。以下相关技术作为可选方案与本申请实施例的技术方案可以进行任意结合,其均属于本申请实施例的保护范围。本申请实施例包括以下内容中的至少部分内容。
在一些场景中,终端设备可以向网络设备上报用户能力指示(或者说,测量间隔需求,MG需求),用于指示该终端设备是否支持无间隔(no-gap)的异频(inter-frequency)测量。
例如,该用户能力指示可以用于判断终端设备是否支持无间隔的异频基于同步信号块(Synchronization Signal Block,SSB)的测量。
作为示例,该用户能力指示通过异频测量无间隔(interFrequencyMeas-Nogap-r16)信息元素(Element Information,IE)携带。
例如,interFrequencyMeas-Nogap-r16IE结构如下所示:
interFrequencyMeas-Nogap-r16 ENUMERATED{supported}OPTIONAL。
在一些场景中,如果终端设备支持动态能力上报,则网络设备可以请求终端设备上报在哪些频段(band)上测量需要测量间隔(Measurement Gap,MG)。例如,网络设备在无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)重配置(RRCReconfiguration)或RRC恢复(RRCResume)消息中通过需求的间隔配置(例如needForGapsConfigNR-r16IE)指示期待终端设备上报MG需求的目标band。
作为示例,needForGapsConfigNR-r16 IE结构如下:
Figure PCTCN2022073762-appb-000001
其中,maxBands表示频段的最大个数,FreqBandIndicatorNR用于指示期待终端设备上报MG需求的目标频段。
在一些场景中,基于网络设备的上述请求,终端设备可以在对应的RRC完成(RRC complete)消息(例如,RRC重配置完成(RRCReconfigurationComplete)或RRC恢复完成(RRCResumeComplete))中通过needForGapsInfoNR-r16IE指示终端设备在目标band上是否需要MG。
在一些场景中,网络设备可以在测量配置(MeasConfig)IE中通过参数来指示是否允许终端设备在MG外测量inter-frequency SSB(SSB需要包含在激活的下行BWP)。
网络控制的小间隔(Network Control Small Gap,NCSG)可以看作是一种增强型的测量间隔(Measurement Gap,MG),NCSG的典型应用场景包括:在去激活的辅小区(deactivated Scell)上的测量,或,在具有休眠BWP的辅小区(Scell with dormant BWP)上的测量,或利用未使用的射频链路(unused RF chain)资源来进行测量,从而到达减小测量中断时间的目的。其中,在去激活或者dormant BWP对应的辅小区上的测量是利用分配给该辅小区的射频或基带资源进行测量,因此不会对主小区(Pcell)和其他激活Scell的数据传输造成较长的中断。
在一些实施例中,Deactivated scell是指辅小区被去激活,此时终端设备无需监听对应辅小区的物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)。
在一些实施例中,具有休眠BWP的辅小区是通过将Scell的BWP切换到预配置的dormant BWP(休眠BWP,该BWP上不配置PDCCH检测)使得整个载波进入休眠状态。网络设备可以通过下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)将该载波上的BWP切换到non-dormant BWP(非休眠态的BWP),从而实现快速唤醒或休眠辅载波的功能。
在dormant Scell上的测量包括无线资源管理(Radio Resource Management,RRM)测量和信道质量指示(Channel Quantity Indicator,CQI)测量,其中,CQI测量是根据网络设备发送的信道状态信息参考信号(Channel State Information Reference Signal,CSI-RS)来测量信道质量,以便网络设备决定下行数据传输的调制方式、码率等信息。
图2所示是同步场景下的MG和NCSG的示意性图。如图所示,NSCG可以包括测量长度(ML)和两个可见中断长度(Visible Interruption Length,VIL),即VIL1和VIL2。对于相同的待测信号,如果采用MG会造成6个子帧(子帧i+1到i+6)的中断,而采用NCSG,只会在测量开始和结束的时刻造成2个子帧(子帧j+1和子帧j+6)的中断(由于RF射频调整),而中间的实际测量时间ML(子帧j+2到j+5)可以同时进行服务小区上的数据收发和邻小区测量。
终端设备是否支持采用NCSG进行测量是一种UE能力,在引入NCSG后,考虑上报UE是否具备基于NCSG测量的能力。而终端设备是否支持NCSG在一定程度上取决于Scell的状态,如是否激活,或者是否休眠(例如是否使用dormant BWP)。但是Scell的激活/去激活,唤醒/休眠等流程可以通过动态信令(例如DCI或媒体接入控制控制元素(Media Access Control Control Element,MAC CE))快速触发,如果网络设备频繁请求终端设备通过RRC信令上报测量间隔需求,会造成额外的时延和信令交互。
图3是根据本申请实施例的无线通信的方法200的示意性交互图,如图3所示,该方法200包括如下内容:
S210,终端设备向网络设备发送第一信息,所述第一信息包括在目标小区下或目标小区组合下所述终端设备支持的间隔信息。
应理解,在本申请实施例中,所述终端设备支持的间隔信息也可以表述为终端设备需求的间隔信息,或者,终端设备的测量间隔需求信息。终端设备支持的间隔信息可以理解为一种用户能力,表示终端设备支持基于该间隔信息进行测量,或者,需要基于该间隔信息进行测量。
在一些实施例中,所述第一信息是终端设备通过RRC消息上报的。例如,通过RRC complete消息上报。可选地,该RRCcomplete消息可以包括但不限于RRCReconfigurationComplete信息和RRCResumeComplete消息。
在一些实施例中,所述终端设备支持的间隔信息包括以下中的至少一种:
测量间隔MG(或称gap),网络可控制的小间隔NCSG,无间隔(no-gap)(或称,无间隔且无中断no-gap-no-interruption)。
例如,第一信息通过needForGapsInfoNR IE承载,needForGapsInfoNR IE中指示的间隔类型可以 包括gap,NCSG和no-gap-no-interruption。即,终端设备是否需要NCSG和是否需要gap的能力上报可以承载在同一个信令中。
在另一些实施例中,所述终端设备支持的间隔信息可以包括NCSG和非NCSG,或者说,终端设备支持的间隔信息也可以指:终端设备是否需要NCSG。
此情况下,终端设备可以通过第二信息向网络设备上报是否需要gap的能力信息,或者说,是否支持no-gap的测量。也就是说,终端设备是否需要NCSG和是否需要gap的能力上报可以承载在不同的信令中。
例如,第一信息通过needForNCSGInfoNR IE承载,needForNCSGInfoNR IE可以用于指示终端设备是否需要NCSG。第二信息通过needForGapsInfoNR IE承载,needForGapsInfoNR IE中指示的间隔类型可以包括gap和no-gap。
应理解,上述承载第一信息和第二信息的IE的命名仅为示例,本申请也可以采用其他命名,只要承载第一信息和第二信息的IE命名有所区分即可,本申请对此不作限定。
在一些实施例中,所述目标小区包括至少一个激活或唤醒状态的小区,或者,至少一个去激活或休眠状态的小区。
应理解,在网络设备给终端设备预配置的小区确定的情况下,指示至少一个激活或唤醒状态的小区,也就相当于隐式指示了去激活或休眠状态的小区,反之亦是如此,本申请对于具体的指示方式不作限定。
例如,所述目标小区可以包括至少一个激活的辅小区,至少一个唤醒状态的辅小区,或者,至少一个去激活的辅小区,或者,至少一个休眠状态的辅小区。
在一些实施例中,唤醒状态的辅小区可以包括使用non-dormant BWP的辅小区,休眠状态的辅小区可以指使用dormant BWP的辅小区。
在一些实施例中,所述目标小区组合包括至少一个激活或唤醒状态的小区组合,或者,至少一个去激活或休眠状态的小区组合。或者,也可以包括至少一个激活的小区和至少一个去激活的小区组成的小区这,或者,也可以包括至少一个唤醒状态的小区和至少一个休眠状态的小区组成的小区组合。
应理解,在网络设备给终端设备预配置的小区确定的情况下,指示至少一个激活或唤醒状态的小区组合,也就相当于隐式指示了去激活或休眠状态的小区组合,反之亦是如此,本申请对于具体的指示方式不作限定。
可选地,激活的小区组合可以为多个激活的小区组成的小区组合,唤醒状态的小区组合可以为多个唤醒状态的小区组成的小区组合。
可选地,去激活的小区组合可以为多个去激活的小区组成的小区组合,休眠状态的小区组合可以为多个休眠状态的小区组成的小区组合。
因此,在本申请实施例中,终端设备向网络设备上报小区或小区组合相关的终端设备支持的间隔信息。这样,当网络设备动态激活或去激活一个或多个小区,或者,唤醒或休眠一个或多个小区时,网络设备可以不必频繁请求终端设备上报其在当前激活或唤醒的小区或小区组合下所支持的间隔信息,网络设备只需根据当前激活或唤醒的小区或小区组合,结合终端设备上报的小区或小区组合相关的终端设备支持的间隔信息,即可确定终端设备在当前激活或唤醒的小区或小区组合下所支持的间隔信息。
应理解,在一些实施例中,目标小区和目标小区组合可以认为是等价的,由于网络设备给终端设备预配置的小区是确定的,激活的小区确定的情况下,去激活的小区也就确定了,在激活的小区(或者,小区组合)下终端设备支持的间隔信息,也可以理解为在剩余的去激活的小区(或小区组合)下终端设备支持的间隔信息,或者,在去激活的小区(或小区组合)下终端设备支持的间隔信息,也可以理解为在剩余激活的小区(或小区组合)下终端设备支持的间隔信息。
在一些实施例中,所述目标小区是所述网络设备配置的。
在另一些实施例中,所述目标小区是根据所述网络设备预配置的小区确定的。换言之,所述目标小区可以为默认小区。
在一些实施例中,所述目标小区组合是所述网络设备配置的。
在另一些实施例中,所述目标小区组合是根据所述网络设备预配置的小区确定的。换言之,所述目标小区组合可以为默认小区组合。

需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,如果终端设备和网络设备对于目标小区或目标小区组合有一致的理解,上述小区组合cellCombination或小区组合列表cellCombinationList为可选参数,例如,可以为默认的小区或小区组合,或者,也可以是网络设备通过第二指示信息所指示的小区或小区组合。例如,该cellCombinationList参数缺省时,可以按照网络设备指示的小区组合顺序来确定gapIndicationList指示与小区组合的对应关系。
例如,网络设备通过前述第二指示信息指示小区组合1,小区组合2和小区组合3,则gapIndicationList可以包括上述三种小区组合下终端设备分别支持的间隔信息,例如,gapIndicationList包括gapIndication-1,gapIndication-2和gapIndication-3,则gapIndication-1对应小区组合1,gapIndication-2对应小区组合2,gapIndication-3对应小区组合3。
还需要说明的是,以上仅以目标频段对应相同的小区或小区组合作为示例,但本申请并不限于此, 在目标频段对应不同的小区或小区组合时,只需调整承载不同频段上支持的间隔信息的IE数量即可。例如,对于第三IE,当不同的频段对应各自的目标小区或目标小区组合时,则每个第三间隔信息IE可以包括一个频段信息、Ni个第三间隔信息和Ni个小区或小区组合的信息,其中Ni为X个同频频段中的第i个频段关联的小区或小区组合的数量,其中,1≤i≤X。
在一些实现方式中,终端设备是否需要MG和是否需要NCSG可以通过单独的信令指示,此情况下,例如,是否支持NCSG通过needForNCSGInfoNR上报,是否支持MG通过needForGapsInfoNR上报,此情况下,needForNCSGInfoNR也可以采用上述needForGapsInfoNR格式设计,区别在于gapIndication包括的类型为NCSG和非NCSG(例如ncsg和no-ncsg),或者说,是否需要ncsg。
综上,终端设备向网络设备上报在目标小区或目标小区组合下终端设备支持的间隔信息。这样,当网络设备动态激活或去激活一个或多个小区,或者,唤醒或休眠一个或多个小区时,网络设备可以不必频繁请求终端设备上报其支持的间隔信息,而只需根据当前激活或唤醒的小区或小区组合,结合终端设备上报的在目标小区或目标小区组合下终端设备支持的间隔信息,即可确定终端设备在当前激活或唤醒的小区或小区组合下所支持的间隔信息。
