通常,在智能中继通信场景中,智能中继可以用于转发的终端设备发送给网络设备的上行信号和网络设备发送给终端设备的下行信号,还可以用于向网络设备发送自身产生的上行信号,比如响应网络设备发送的控制信号的反馈信号,或者接收网络设备发送给智能中继的下行信号。当以上四种信号通过TDM技术复用在一起时,需要设计一种上下行控制方法,以指示在特定时间,对各信号的收发行为,以保障收发信息的正确性。下面结合附图对本申请所提供的一种智能中继的控制方法及其装置进行详细地介绍。
请参见图2,图2是本申请实施例提供的一种智能中继的控制方法的流程示意图,该方法由智能中继执行。如图2所示,该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤:
步骤201,接收网络设备发送的时分双工TDD配置信息,其中,配置信息用于指示智能中继在特定时间对第一信号和/或第二信号的收发行为。
其中,第一信号和第二信号可以通过TDM或者频分复用(frequency division multiplexing,FDM)或者空分复用(space division multiplexing,SDM)的方式复用在一起,本方案不做限制。第一信号可以为需要智能中继转发的上下行信号,比如,第一信号可以为以下至少一项:转发的终端设备发送的上行信号,及转发的网络设备发送的下行信号。第二信号可以为用于智能中继直接与网络设备通信的上下行信号,比如,第二信号为以下至少一项:智能中继发送给网络设备用于和网络设备直接通信的上行信 号,及由网络设备发送给智能中继用于和智能中继直接通信的下行信号。
可选的,智能中继收到的TDD配置信息,指示其行为为下行。或者,智能中继收到的TDD配置信息,指示其行为为上行。或者,智能中继收到的TDD配置信息,指示在某几个特定时间的行为为下行和/或在某几个特定时间的行为为上行和/或在某几个特定时间的行为不确定等等,本公开对此不做限定。其中,指示其行为为下行,是指指示智能中继的行为为接收下行信号,指示其行为为上行,是指指示智能中继的行为为发送上行信号。
相应的,智能中继收到指示的下行行为时,对第一信号,则可以在对应的时间执行转发基站的下行信号的行为,对应第二信号,则在对应的时间执行接收基站的信息并进行后续指示解调和/或解码行为。
或者,当智能中继收到的指示为上行时,对于第一信号,智能中继在对应的时间执行转发终端设备的上行信号的行为;对于第二信号,智能中继在对应的时间,执行将自身产生的至少经过调制和/或编码的上行信号向网络设备发送的行为。
通常,智能中继与网络设备建立连接后,就可以接收网络设备发送的TDD配置信息,TDD配置信息中,包括指示智能中继在特定时间对第一信号和/或第二信号的行为的信息。比如,TDD配置信息中,以D表示下行,U表示上行,F表示未固定(既可以上行又可以下行),即该TDD信息对于第一信号和第二信号是通用的。可选的,TDD配置信息中,还可以包括TDM图样信息。比如,以R表示转发信息,即第一信号,S表示用于自身控制的信息,即第二信号,N表示不确定是R还是S。
比如图3所示,图3为网络设备发送的包含TDM图样的TDD配置信息示例图。从而智能中继即可根据该TDD配置信息,在时隙slot#1上接收第二信号,即接收来自网络设备发送的下行信号,在第2-4个slot接收第一信号,即转发网络设备发送的下行信号,在第5个slot发送第二信号,即智能中继自身产生的上行信号,在第8-9个slot上传第一信号,即转发来自终端设备发送的上行信号,在第6-7个slot不确定对应的上下行情况。
本公开中,智能中继可以转发终端设备发送给网络设备的上行信号,或者转发网络设备发送给终端设备的下行信号,还可以向网络设备发送自身产生的上行信号,比如响应网络设备发送的信号的反馈信号,或者接收网络设备发送给智能中继的下行信号,比如网络设备发送给智能中继的控制信号。
本公开中,网络设备可以将指示智能中继在特定时间对第一信号和/或第二信号的收发行为的信息,配置在TDD配置信息,并将TDD配置信息,发送给智能中继。由此,智能中继即可根据TDD配置信息,确定在特定时间进行上行传输,或下行传输。
可选的,当配置信息中未指示任一特定时间对应的信号的上下行情况时,可以确定任一特定时间对应上行信号。或者,当配置信息中未指示任一特定时间对应的信号的上下行情况时,可以确定任一特定时间对应下行信号。比如,图3所示的TDD配置信息中,由于slot#6和#7未固定,则智能中继,可以认为slot#6和#7对应下行信号,或者也可以认为slot#6和#7对应上行信号。
需要说明的是,若图3所示的TDD配置信息中的TDM图样部分,slot#6对应R,则智能中继可以认为slot#6对应下行的转发信号,或者对应上行的转发信号。相应的,若在TDM图样部分,slot#6对应S,则智能中继可以认为slot#6对应下行的自身控制的信号,或者对应上行的自身控制的信号。
另外,TDD配置信息也可能未包含TDM图样,则智能中继可以通过其他的信息,接收网络设备配置的TDM图样,以确定上下行信号到底是第一信号还是第二信号,本公开对此不做限定。
本公开中,智能中继可以接收网络设备发送的用于指示智能中继在特定时间对第一信号和/或第二信号的收发行为的时分双工TDD配置信息,由此,通过根据TDD配置信息,可以确定在特定时间,对各信号的收发行为,从而实现智能中继对各上下行信号的控制,进一步的保障了收发信息的正确性。
请参见图4,图4是本申请实施例提供的一种智能中继的控制方法的流程示意图,该方法由智能中继执行。如图4所示,该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤:
步骤401,通过无线资源控制RRC信令,接收网络设备发送的TDD配置信息。
其中,TDD配置信息用于指示智能中继在特定时间对第一信号和/或第二信号的收发行为。
此外,第一信号和第二信号的具体解释,可参见本公开任一实施例的详细描述,在此不再赘述。
本公开中,网络设备可以将TDD配置信息,配置在RRC信令中,由此,智能中继接收到网络设备发送的RRC信令后,可以确定TDD配置信息,之后,可以根据TDD配置信息,确定在特定时间位置,对第一信号和/或第二信号的收发行为。
可选的,智能中继还可以通过半静态RRC信令,接收网络设备发送的TDD配置信息。
可选的,第一信号及第二信号可以分别对应不同的TDD配置信息,或者,第一信号及第二信号可以对应相同的TDD配置信息。
可选的,RRC信令中还可以包括与每个TDD配置信息对应的第一信号标识和/或第二信号标识,以指示第一信号及第二信号分别与TDD配置信息的对应关系。其中,标识可以为用于发送对应信号的 载频信息等任一可以唯一确定信号的信息,本公开对此不做限制。
本公开中,智能中继与网络设备建立连接后,可以接收网络设备发送包含TDD配置信息的RRC信令,TDD配置信息中,可以包括对应的第一信号标识,或第二信号标识,配置信息中还可以包括TDD配置信息,比如D表示下行,U表示上行,F表示未固定(既可以上行又可以下行)。该TDD配置信息对于第一信号和第二信号是分别适用的。
如图5所示,TDD配置信息中包括用于第一信号和第二信号的载频信息。其中CC#2用于转发,即第一信号的收发,CC#1用于自身信号收发,即用于第二信号的收发。第二信号对应的TDD配置为DFFFFUUFFFFDDUUU,则智能中继在第一个slot接收第二信号,比如物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)信号并解调,在第2-5个slot位置需要等待网络的进一步指示,在第6-7个slot位置发送第二信号,比如应答(acknowledge,ACK)/非应答(not acknowledge,NACK)信号。第一信号对应的TDD配置为DDDDUUUDDDDDDDDU,则智能中继即可在第1-4个slot时间位置接收网络设备发送的上行信号,在第5-7个slot时间位置发送终端设备发送的上行信号。
本公开中,智能中继可以通过无线资源控制RRC信令,接收网络设备发送的TDD配置信息,由此,通过根据TDD配置信息,可以确定在特定时间,对各信号的收发行为,从而实现智能中继对各上下行信号的控制,进一步的保障了收发信息的正确性。
请参见图6,图6是本申请实施例提供的一种智能中继的控制方法的流程示意图,该方法由智能中继执行。如图6所示,该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤:
步骤601,接收网络设备发送的时分双工TDD配置信息,其中,配置信息用于指示智能中继在特定时间对第一信号和/或第二信号的收发行为。
本公开中,步骤601的具体实现过程,可参见本公开任一实施例的详细描述,在此不再赘述。
步骤602,接收网络设备通过媒体接入控制控制单元(media access control,MAC)或下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)发送的指示信息,其中,指示信息用于实现以下任一项:激活TDD配置信息,激活多个TDD配置信息中的至少一个,去激活TDD配置信息,去激活多个TDD配置信息中的至少一个,及向智能中继指示TDD配置信息中部分未指示上下行情况的时间对应的上下行信号。
本公开中,网络设备向智能中继发送TDD配置信息后,还可以通过MAC或DCI发送的指示信息,激活TDD配置信息。其中,指示信息中可以包含待激活TDD配置的标识信息,由此,智能中继即可根据TDD配置的标识确定激活的TDD配置。其中TDD配置的标识可以为TDD配置的编号等任一可以唯一确定TDD配置的信息。
或者,当网络设备为智能中继分配多个TDD配置信息后,还可以通过MAC或DCI发送的指示信息,激活多个TDD配置信息中的至少一个。
或者,当网络设备通过MAC或DCI发送的指示信息,激活TDD配置信息后,还可以MAC或DCI发送的指示信息,去激活TDD配置信息,其中,去激活的TDD配置信息可以是一个或多个。
本公开中,网络设备还可以通过MAC或DCI发送的指示信息,向智能中继指示TDD配置信息中部分未指示上下行情况的时间对应的上下行信号。比如,如图4所示,在第6个slot位置,TDD配置未指示上下行情况,此时可以通过MAC CE和/或DCI命令,指示第6个slot位置上下行情况。
可选的,向智能中继指示TDD配置信息中部分未指示上下行情况的时间对应的上下行信号,可以为1个slot位置对应的上下行信号,或者,还可以为1个slot中连续多个符号symbol位置对应的TDD配置,本公开对此不作限制。
如图7所示,图7a为通过MAC或DCI指示的TDD配置信息中部分未指示上下行情况的时间对应的上下行信号的示例图,图7中,D\U\F标识TDD配置的具体内容,其中,D标识接收下行信号,U表示发送上行信号,F表示不确定上下行情况,则网络设备发送给智能中继的TDD配置为DDDDUFFUUU,其中,在第7个slot时间位置不确定是上下行情况,此时,可以通过MAC或DCI,进一步指示第7个slot时间位置中连续多个符号symbol对应的TDD配置信息,如图7b所示。
本公开中,智能中继在接收网络设备发送的用于指示智能中继在特定时间对第一信号和/或第二信号的收发行为的时分双工TDD配置信息后,还可以接收网络设备通过MAC或DCI发送的指示信息,以进一步对TDD配置进行设置。由此,通过根据TDD配置信息,可以确定特定时间,对各信号的收发行为,从而实现智能中继对各上下行信号的控制,进一步的保障了收发信息的正确性。
本公开中,网络设备可能为第一信号分配一个TDD配置信息,为第二信号分配多个TDD配置信息,因此,网络设备可以只通过RRC信令指示第一信号对应的TDD配置信息,通过RRC信令指示第二信号对应的多个TDD配置信息,并通过MAC或DCI指示第二信号待使用的TDD配置信息。
请参见图8,图8是本申请实施例提供的一种智能中继的控制方法的流程示意图,该方法由智能中 继执行。如图8所示,该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤:

可选的,也可以通过两个半静态RRC信令,分别接收网络设备发送的第一信号对应的TDD配置信息,和第二信号对应的多个TDD配置信息。
步骤802,接收网络设备通过MAC或DCI发送的第二信号对应的指示信息,其中,指示信息用于实现激活多个TDD配置信息中的至少一个。
本公开中,步骤801-步骤802的具体实现过程,可参见本公开任一实施例的详细描述,在此不再赘述。
本公开中,智能中继通过半静态RRC信令,接收网络设备发送的第一信号和第二信号分别对应的TDD配置信息后,可以接收网络设备通过MAC或DCI发送的用于激活多个TDD配置信息中的至少一个的第二信号对应的指示信息。由此,通过根据TDD配置信息,可以确定特定时间,对各信号的收发行为,从而实现智能中继对各上下行信号的控制,进一步的保障了收发信息的正确性。
本公开中,第一信号对应的TDD配置信息中未包含未指示上下行情况的时间,第二信号对应的TDD配置信息中可能包含未指示上下行情况的时间,因此,网络设备可以只通过RRC信令指示第一信号对应的TDD配置信息,通过RRC信令指示第二信号对应的多个TDD配置信息,并通过MAC或DCI指示第二信号对应的TDD配置信息中部分未指示上下行情况的时间对应的上下行信号。
请参见图9,图9是本申请实施例提供的一种智能中继的控制方法的流程示意图,该方法由智能中继执行。如图9所示,该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤:

步骤902,接收网络设备通过MAC或DCI发送的第二信号对应的指示信息,其中,指示信息用于实现向智能中继指示TDD配置信息中部分未指示上下行情况的时间对应的上下行信号。
本公开中,步骤901-步骤902的具体实现过程,可参见本公开任一实施例的详细描述,在此不再赘述。
本公开中,智能中继在通过半静态RRC信令,接收网络设备发送的第一信号和第二信号分别对应的TDD配置信息后,可以接收网络设备通过MAC或DCI发送的用于实现向智能中继指示TDD配置信息中部分未指示上下行情况的时间对应的上下行信号的第二信号对应的指示信息。由此,通过根据TDD配置信息,可以确定特定时间,对各信号的收发行为,从而实现智能中继对各上下行信号的控制,进一步的保障了收发信息的正确性。
本公开中,第一信号和第二信号可能对应的不同的TDD配置信息,且第一信号和第二信号均有需要进一步指示TDD配置的相关信息时,比如,第一信号和第二信号均需进一步指示TDD配置信息中部分未指示上下行情况的时间对应的上下行信号,网络设备可以通过RRC信令指示第一信号与第二信号分别对应的TDD配置信息,并通过MAC或DCI,分别进一步指示第一信号与第二信号对应的TDD配置相关信息。

请参见图13,图13是本申请实施例提供的一种智能中继的控制方法的流程示意图,该方法由网络设备执行。如图13所示,该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤:
步骤1301,向智能中继发送时分双工TDD配置信息,其中,配置信息用于指示智能中继在特定时间对第一信号和/或第二信号的收发行为。
其中,第一信号和第二信号可以通过TDM或者频分复用(frequency division multiplexing,FDM)或者空分复用(space division multiplexing,SDM)的方式复用在一起,本方案不做限制。第一信号可以为需要智能中继转发的上下行信号,比如,第一信号可以为以下至少一项:转发的终端设备发送的上行信号,及转发的网络设备发送的下行信号。第二信号可以为用于智能中继直接与网络设备通信的上下行信号,比如,第二信号为以下至少一项:智能中继发送给网络设备用于和网络设备直接通信的上行信号,及由网络设备发送给智能中继用于和智能中继直接通信的下行信号。
可选的,智能中继收到的TDD配置信息,指示其行为为下行。或者,智能中继收到的TDD配置信息,指示其行为为上行。或者,智能中继收到的TDD配置信息,指示在某几个特定时间的行为为下行和/或在某几个特定时间的行为为上行和/或在某几个特定时间的行为不确定等等,本公开对此不做限定。其中,指示其行为为下行,是指指示智能中继的行为为接收下行信号,指示其行为为上行,是指指示智能中继的行为为发送上行信号。
相应的,智能中继收到指示的下行行为时,对第一信号,则可以在对应的时间执行转发基站的下行信号的行为,对应第二信号,则在对应的时间执行接收基站的信息并进行后续指示解调和/或解码行为。

需要说明的是,若图3所示的TDD配置信息中的TDM图样部分,slot#6对应R,则智能中继可以认为slot#6对应下行的转发信号,或者对应上行的转发信号。相应的,若在TDM图样部分,slot#6对应S,则智能中继可以认为slot#6对应下行的自身控制的信号,或者对应上行的自身控制的信号。
另外,TDD配置信息也可能未包含TDM图样,则智能中继可以通过其他的信息,接收网络设备配置的TDM图样,以确定上下行信号到底是第一信号还是第二信号,本公开对此不做限定。
本公开中,网络设备可以向智能中继发送用于指示智能中继在特定时间对第一信号和/或第二信号 的收发行为的时分双工TDD配置信息,由此,通过根据TDD配置信息,可以确定在特定时间,对各信号的收发行为,从而实现智能中继对各上下行信号的控制,进一步的保障了收发信息的正确性。

可选的,第一信号及第二信号可以分别对应不同的TDD配置信息,或者,第一信号及第二信号可以对应相同的TDD配置信息。
可选的,RRC信令中还可以包括与每个TDD配置信息对应的第一信号标识和/或第二信号标识,以指示第一信号及第二信号分别与TDD配置信息的对应关系。其中,标识可以为用于发送对应信号的载频信息等任一可以唯一确定信号的信息,本公开对此不做限制。
本公开中,网络设备与智能中继建立连接后,可以向智能中继发送包含TDD配置信息的RRC信令,TDD配置信息中,可以包括对应的第一信号标识,或第二信号标识,配置信息中还可以包括TDD配置信息,比如D表示下行,U表示上行,F表示未固定(既可以上行又可以下行)。该TDD配置信息对于第一信号和第二信号是分别适用的。
如图5所示,TDD配置信息中包括用于第一信号和第二信号的载频信息。其中CC#2用于转发,即第一信号的收发,CC#1用于自身信号收发,即用于第二信号的收发。第二信号对应的TDD配置为DFFFFUUFFFFDDUUU,则智能中继在第一个slot接收第二信号,比如物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)信号并解调,在第2-5个slot位置需要等待网络的进一步指示,在第6-7个slot位置发送第二信号,比如应答(acknowledge,ACK)/非应答(not acknowledge,NACK)信号。第一信号对应的TDD配置为DDDDUUUDDDDDDDDU,则智能中继即可在第1-4个slot时间位置接收网络设备发送的上行信号,在第5-7个slot时间位置发送终端设备发送的上行信号。
本公开中,网络设备可以通过无线资源控制RRC信令,向智能中继发送TDD配置信息,由此,通过根据TDD配置信息,可以确定在特定时间,对各信号的收发行为,从而实现智能中继对各上下行信号的控制,进一步的保障了收发信息的正确性。
请参见图15,图15是本申请实施例提供的一种智能中继的控制方法的流程示意图,该方法由智能中继执行。如图15所示,该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤:
步骤1501,向智能中继发送时分双工TDD配置信息,其中,配置信息用于指示智能中继在特定时间对第一信号和/或第二信号的收发行为。
本公开中,步骤1501的具体实现过程,可参见本公开任一实施例的详细描述,在此不再赘述。
步骤1502,通过媒体接入控制控制单元MAC或下行控制信息DCI,向智能中继发送指示信息,其中,指示信息用于实现以下任一项:激活TDD配置信息,激活多个TDD配置信息中的至少一个,去激活TDD配置信息,去激活多个TDD配置信息中的至少一个,及向智能中继指示TDD配置信息中部分未指示上下行情况的时间对应的上下行信号。
本公开中,网络设备向智能中继发送TDD配置信息后,还可以通过MAC或DCI发送的指示信息,激活TDD配置信息。其中,指示信息中可以包含待激活TDD配置的标识信息,由此,智能中继即可根据TDD配置的标识确定激活的TDD配置。其中TDD配置的标识可以为TDD配置的编号等任一可以唯一确定TDD配置的信息。
或者,当网络设备为智能中继分配多个TDD配置信息后,还可以通过MAC或DCI发送的指示信息,激活多个TDD配置信息中的至少一个。
或者,当网络设备通过MAC或DCI发送的指示信息,激活TDD配置信息后,还可以MAC或DCI发送的指示信息,去激活TDD配置信息,其中,去激活的TDD配置信息可以是一个或多个。
本公开中,网络设备还可以通过MAC或DCI发送的指示信息,向智能中继指示TDD配置信息中部分未指示上下行情况的时间对应的上下行信号。比如,如图4所示,在第6个slot位置,TDD配置未指示上下行情况,此时可以通过MAC CE和/或DCI命令,指示第6个slot位置上下行情况。
可选的,向智能中继指示TDD配置信息中部分未指示上下行情况的时间对应的上下行信号,可以为1个slot位置对应的上下行信号,或者,还可以为1个slot中连续多个符号symbol位置对应的TDD 配置,本公开对此不作限制。

本公开中,网络设备在向智能中继发送用于指示智能中继在特定时间对第一信号和/或第二信号的收发行为的时分双工TDD配置信息后,还可以通过MAC或DCI,向智能中继发送指示信息,以进一步对TDD配置进行设置。由此,通过根据TDD配置信息,可以确定在特定时间,对各信号的收发行为,从而实现智能中继对各上下行信号的控制,进一步的保障了收发信息的正确性。
本公开中,网络设备可能为第一信号分配一个TDD配置信息,为第二信号分配多个TDD配置信息,因此,网络设备可以只通过RRC信令指示第一信号对应的TDD配置信息,通过RRC信令指示第二信号对应的多个TDD配置信息,并通过MAC或DCI指示第二信号待使用的TDD配置信息。

本公开中,第一信号对应的TDD配置信息中未包含未指示上下行情况的时间,第二信号对应的TDD配置信息中可能包含未指示上下行情况的时间,因此,网络设备可以只通过RRC信令指示第一信号对应的TDD配置信息,通过RRC信令指示第二信号对应的多个TDD配置信息,并通过MAC或DCI指示第二信号对应的TDD配置信息中部分未指示上下行情况的时间对应的上下行信号。
请参见图17,图17是本申请实施例提供的一种智能中继的控制方法的流程示意图,该方法由智能中继执行。如图17所示,该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤:

步骤1702,通过MAC或DCI,向智能中继发送第二信号对应的指示信息,其中,指示信息用于实现向智能中继指示TDD配置信息中部分未指示上下行情况的时间对应的上下行信号。
本公开中,步骤1701-步骤1702的具体实现过程,可参见本公开任一实施例的详细描述,在此不再赘述。

本公开中,第一信号和第二信号可能对应的不同的TDD配置信息,且第一信号和第二信号均有需要进一步指示TDD配置的相关信息时,比如,第一信号和第二信号均需进一步指示TDD配置信息中部分未指示上下行情况的时间对应的上下行信号,网络设备可以通过RRC信令指示第一信号与第二信号分别对应的TDD配置信息,并通过MAC或DCI,分别进一步指示第一信号与第二信号对应的TDD配置相关信息。
