Description

转发器及其传输方法、网络设备和通信系统 技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域。
背景技术
与传统的3G(第三代移动通信技术)、4G(第四代移动通信技术)系统相比，5G(第五代移动通信技术)系统能够提供更大的带宽以及更高的数据率，并且能够支持更多类型的终端和垂直业务。为此，5G系统的部署频率通常明显高于3G和4G系统。例如，5G系统可以部署在毫米波波段。
然而，承载频率越高，信号在传输过程中遇到的衰落越严重。因此，在5G系统的实际部署中，特别是在毫米波段，如何更好的增强小区覆盖，成为亟待解决的问题。
应该注意，上面对技术背景的介绍只是为了方便对本申请的技术方案进行清楚、完整的说明，并方便本领域技术人员的理解而阐述的。不能仅仅因为这些方案在本申请的背景技术部分进行了阐述而认为上述技术方案为本领域技术人员所公知。
发明内容
为了更好的解决蜂窝移动通信系统在实际部署中的覆盖问题，采用射频转发器(RF Relay/Repeater)放大和转发终端设备与网络设备之间的通信信号，是比较常用的部署手段。射频转发器在3G系统和4G系统的实际部署中具有较为广泛的应用。通常来说，射频转发器是一种在射频域放大和转发网络设备与终端设备往来信号的设备。
发明人发现，针对5G系统在部署中遇到的覆盖问题，采用射频转发器进行覆盖增强是可行的解决方案之一。但是，传统转发器不具备与网络设备通信的能力，不能从网络设备处直接获得上下行配置的相关信息。因此，这样的转发器配置在5G系统中，虽然能够帮助增强信号强度，但是不够灵活而无法应对复杂的环境变化，进而无法达到在3G系统和4G系统中部署相同射频转发器的同等效果。
针对上述问题的至少之一，本申请实施例提供了一种转发器及其传输方法、网络设备和通信系统。转发器具有与网络设备通信的能力，能够接收来自网络设备的时分双工(TDD)配置信息和/或参考子载波间隔(SCS)配置信息。本申请实施例的转发器能够在网络配置下更好地加强信号覆盖并应对环境变化，由此能够提高整个网络的传输效率。
根据本申请实施例的一方面，提供一种转发器的传输方法，包括：
转发器接收来自网络设备的时分双工(TDD)配置信息和/或参考子载波间隔(SCS)配置信息；以及
所述转发器根据所述时分双工(TDD)配置信息和/或参考子载波间隔(SCS)配置信息，确定在某一时间单元内进行上行转发或者下行转发或者不进行转发。
根据本申请实施例的另一方面，提供一种转发器，包括：
通信部，其接收来自网络设备的时分双工(TDD)配置信息和/或参考子载波间隔(SCS)配置信息；以及
处理部，其根据所述时分双工(TDD)配置信息和/或参考子载波间隔(SCS)配置信息，确定在某一时间单元内进行上行转发或者下行转发或者不进行转发。
根据本申请实施例的另一方面，提供一种转发器的配置方法，包括：
网络设备向转发器发送时分双工(TDD)配置信息和/或参考子载波间隔(SCS)配置信息；其中，所述时分双工(TDD)配置信息和/或参考子载波间隔(SCS)配置信息被所述转发器用于确定在某一时间单元内进行上行转发或者下行转发或者不进行转发。
根据本申请实施例的另一方面，提供一种网络设备，包括：
配置部，其向转发器发送时分双工(TDD)配置信息和/或参考子载波间隔(SCS)配置信息；其中，所述时分双工(TDD)配置信息和/或参考子载波间隔(SCS)配置信息被所述转发器用于确定在某一时间单元内进行上行转发或者下行转发或者不进行转发。
根据本申请实施例的另一方面，提供一种通信系统，包括：
网络设备，其向转发器发送时分双工(TDD)配置信息和/或参考子载波间隔(SCS)配置信息；以及
转发器，其根据所述时分双工(TDD)配置信息和/或参考子载波间隔(SCS)配置信息确定在某一时间单元内进行上行转发或者下行转发或者不进行转发。
本申请实施例的有益效果之一在于：转发器接收来自网络设备的时分双工(TDD)配置信息和/或参考子载波间隔(SCS)配置信息。由此能够根据网络情况配置转发器的转发，可以更好地加强信号覆盖并应对环境与小区内主要业务的变化等，从而能够提高整个网络的传输效率。

在本申请实施例中，术语“第一”、“第二”等用于对不同元素从称谓上进行区分，但并不表示这些元素的空间排列或时间顺序等，这些元素不应被这些术语所限制。术语“和/或”包括相关联列出的术语的一种或多个中的任何一个和所有组合。术语“包含”、“包括”、“具有”等是指所陈述的特征、元素、元件或组件的存在，但并不排除存在或添加一个或多个其他特征、元素、元件或组件。
在本申请实施例中，单数形式“一”、“该”等包括复数形式，应广义地理解为“一种”或“一类”而并不是限定为“一个”的含义；此外术语“所述”应理解为既包括单数形式也包括复数形式，除非上下文另外明确指出。此外术语“根据”应理解为“至少部分根据……”，术语“基于”应理解为“至少部分基于……”，除非上下文另外明确指出。
在本申请实施例中，术语“通信网络”或“无线通信网络”可以指符合如下任意通信标准的网络，例如长期演进(LTE，Long Term Evolution)、增强的长期演进(LTE-A，LTE-Advanced)、宽带码分多址接入(WCDMA，Wideband Code Division Multiple Access)、高速报文接入(HSPA，High-Speed Packet Access)等等。
并且，通信系统中设备之间的通信可以根据任意阶段的通信协议进行，例如可以包括但不限于如下通信协议：1G(generation)、2G、2.5G、2.75G、3G、4G、4.5G以及未来的5G、新无线(NR，New Radio)等等，和/或其他目前已知或未来将被开发的通信协议。
在本申请实施例中，术语“网络设备”例如是指通信系统中将终端设备接入通信网络并为该终端设备提供服务的设备。网络设备可以包括但不限于如下设备：基站(BS，Base Station)、接入点(AP、Access Point)、收发节点(TRP，Transmission Reception Point)、 广播发射机、移动管理实体(MME、Mobile Management Entity)、网关、服务器、无线网络控制器(RNC，Radio Network Controller)、基站控制器(BSC，Base Station Controller)等等。

为了增强覆盖，3GPP Rel-17研究中引入RF repeater来转发终端设备(UE)和网络设备(基站)之间的传输。对于基站和UE来说，Rel-17中引入的RF repeater是透明的，即基站和UE并不知道RF repeater的存在。
图1是本申请实施例的应用场景的一示意图，如图1所示，为了方便说明，以一个网络设备(例如5G基站gNB)101、一个转发器(Repeater)102和一个终端设备(UE)103为例进行说明，本申请不限于此。如图1所示，终端设备103与网络设备101建立连接并与其通信。为了增加通信质量，终端设备103与网络设备101之间传输的信道/信号经由转发器102进行转发。网络设备101，终端设备103与转发器102之间的信道/信号交互均采用基于波束的接收和发送方法。
如图1所示，网络设备101可以具有小区/载波，网络设备101、转发器102和终端设备103可以在该小区进行转发/通信；但本申请不限于此，例如网络设备101还可以具有其他小区/载波。
在本申请实施例中，网络设备和终端设备之间可以进行现有的业务或者未来可实施的业务传输。例如，这些业务可以包括但不限于：增强的移动宽带(eMBB)、大规模机器类型通信(mMTC)、高可靠低时延通信(URLLC)和车联网(V2X)通信，等等。
图1中以转发器可以转发网络设备和终端设备之间传输的信道/信号为例进行说明，但本申请不限于此。例如，转发器可以作为第二设备，在第一设备和第三设备之间进行信道/信号转发，并能够与第一设备和/或第三设备直接进行通信；第一设备至第三设备可以是前述的网络中的任意设备。以下的实施例中，以第一设备为网络设备，第三设备为终端设备为例进行说明。
图2是TDD转发器的一示意图。如图2所示，时分双工(TDD，Time Division Duplex)转发器有两条通路。转发器的两侧天线分别对准网络设备和需要被服务的终端设备可能存在的区域，通过时分方式在网络设备和终端设备之间转发信号。
传统转发器在转发过程中，不对转发信号进行解调/解码。传统转发器的天线方向基本是固定的，通常在初始安装的时候人工进行设置和调整，以使得网络设备侧的天线指向网络设备来波方向，终端设备侧的天线指向需要增强部署的地方。在传统转发器工作的过程中，天线方向不发生改变。此外，传统转发器不具备通信功能，不能够和网络设备进行信息交互，因此也不支持网络设备对其进行自适应和/或较为动态的配置。
相比于3G和4G系统，部署在较高频段和毫米波频段的5G系统采用了更为高级和复杂的MIMO(多进多出)技术。在5G系统中，有向天线成为网络设备与终端设备的基本部件，基于波束赋形(Beam forming)技术发送和接收信号是5G系统中基本的信号传输方式。
特别是毫米波波段频率高、小波长的特点，更利于在网络设备和终端设备中设置包含较多阵子的天线面板。天线阵子个数的增加有助于更为精准的波束赋形，即更容易形成窄波束。窄波束汇聚能量有助于增强信号，并同时减小对其它设备的干扰。另一方面，由于窄波束的指向精准，对信道测量和波束管理的要求非常高，因此5G系统支持较为复杂但精准的信道测量、天线校准和波束管理方案，网络设备可以通过这些方案有效而精准地控制终端设备的接收波束和发送波束，以达到更好的通信效果。
传统转发器不具备与网络设备通信的能力，转发器需要自行探测/确定网络中相关的 上下行配置(TDD UL/DL config)。而后，在网络的下行时间单位，转发器切换至下行转发位置，即从网络设备侧接收信号，经过放大等处理后，从终端设备侧将信号发送出去；在网络的上行时间单位，转发器切换至上行转发位置，即从终端设备侧接收信号，经过放大等处理后，从网络设备侧将信号发送出去。
因此，传统转发器虽然能够帮助增强信号强度，但是不够灵活而无法应对复杂的环境变化，进而降低整个网络的吞吐量。为了使得转发器的转发能够更为灵活以适应5G网络的特点，网络设备需要对转发器进行协助，并能够根据网络情况对转发器的转发进行配置；而转发器需要具有与网络设备通信的能力，能够从网络设备处接收辅助信息和/或配置信息等(例如TDD UL/DL配置，参考子载波间隔等)。如何使得转发器能与网络设备高效通信成为亟待解决的问题。
下面结合附图对本申请实施例的各种实施方式进行说明。这些实施方式只是示例性的，不是对本申请的限制。
在本申请实施例中，转发器还可以表述为直放站、射频转发器、中继器、射频中继器；或者也可以表述为直放站节点、转发器节点、中继器节点；或者还可以表述为智能直放站、智能转发器、智能中继器、智能直放站节点、智能转发器节点、智能中继器节点，等等，本申请不限于此。
在本申请实施例中，网络设备可以是终端设备的服务小区的设备，也可以是转发器所在小区的设备，还可以是转发器的服务小区的设备，也可以是转发器的父节点(Parent node)，本申请对该转发器的名称不做限制，只要能实现上述功能的设备，都包含于本申请的转发器的范围内。
第一方面的实施例
本申请实施例提供一种转发器的传输方法，从转发器一侧进行说明。
图3是本申请实施例的转发器的通信方法的一示意图，如图3所示，该方法包括：
301，转发器接收来自网络设备的时分双工(TDD)配置信息和/或参考子载波间隔(SCS)配置信息；以及
302，所述转发器根据所述时分双工(TDD)配置信息和/或参考子载波间隔(SCS)配置信息，确定在某一时间单元内进行上行转发或者下行转发或者不进行转发。
例如，转发器基于TDD配置信息，在一段时间内进行上行转发，即向网络设备转发来自终端设备的第一信道或信号(上行信道或信号)，在另一段时间内进行下行转发， 即转发器向终端设备转发来自网络设备的第二信道或信号(下行信道或信号)。此外，也可以在一段时间内不进行转发。
再例如，转发器基于参考SCS配置信息，可以使转发器所服务的不同终端设备的传输对齐或者不同频点上的上下行转发对齐，从而保证不同子载波间隔的传输在转发器完成上行转发或下行转发后再进行切换。
值得注意的是，以上附图3仅对本申请实施例进行了示意性说明，但本申请不限于此。例如可以适当地调整各个操作之间的执行顺序，此外还可以增加其他的一些操作或者减少其中的某些操作。本领域的技术人员可以根据上述内容进行适当地变型，而不仅限于上述附图3的记载。
在本申请实施例中，转发器可以与网络设备通信，转发器可以接收网络设备发送的通信信道/信号，并进行信道/信号的解调/解码，由此获得网络设备发给该转发器的信息，以下将该信号处理过程称为“通信”。转发器还可以转发网络设备和终端设备之间传输的信道/信号，转发器不对该信道/信号进行解调/解码，可以进行放大等处理，以下将该信号处理过程称为“转发”。将“通信”和“转发”合称为“传输”。以上术语仅为了方便说明，并不构成对本申请的限制。
为方便起见，可以将网络设备和转发器之间或者第三设备(例如终端设备)和转发器之间进行直接通信的信道/信号称为通信信号，在发送通信信号时，转发器需要进行编码和/或调制，在接收通信信号时，转发器需要进行解码和/或解调。此外，可以将经由转发器转发的信道/信号称为转发信号，转发器对转发信号可以进行放大等信号处理，但不会进行解码和/或解调。
此外，与之前的转发器不同，本申请实施例的转发器可以与网络设备通信，因此可以具有部分网络控制的功能，本申请实施例的转发器也可以称为网络控制(NC，Network Control)转发器，即NC-repeater。
在一些实施例中，由时分双工配置信息配置的时域资源包括如下至少之一：下行时间单元、灵活时间单元、上行时间单元。
图4A是本申请实施例的TDD配置的一示意图。如图4A所示，对于NC-repeater用于转发的UL/DL TDD配置格式，在一个UL/DL TDD周期内，可以以下行区域+灵活区域+上行区域的方式进行配置。以上所述的“区域”或“时间单元”例如是时域上的一段时间，可以是一个或多个时隙，和/或，一个或多个符号，本申请不限于此。

在信令中可以指示灵活时隙/符号个数，也可以不指示灵活时隙/符号个数。在不指示灵活时隙/符号个数的情况下，可以认为除了上行时间单元和下行时间单元的其他时间单元为灵活时隙/符号。
在一些实施例中，在配置了第一模式时，每两个帧长(20ms)/P个周期的第一个符号与偶数帧的第一个符号对齐，或者，每两个帧长(20ms)/P个周期的第一个符号是偶数帧的第一个符号。
在一些实施例中，小区公共上下行配置包括所述第一模式(pattern 1)和第二模式(pattern 2)。该第二模式(pattern 2)由如下至少之一的信令配置：无线资源控制(RRC)信令、介质访问控制(MAC)信令、或者物理层信令。

在信令中可以指示灵活时隙/符号个数，也可以不指示灵活时隙/符号个数。在不指示灵活时隙/符号个数的情况下，可以认为除了上行时间单元和下行时间单元的其他时间单元为灵活时隙/符号。
以上为便于说明，对第一模式和第二模式分别进行了说明，本申请不限于此，第一模式和第二模式可以在同一信令或同一配置信息中一起被配置。例如，小区公共上下行配置可以包括第一模式和第二模式，其中第二模式是可选的。

在一些实施例中，设备专用上下行配置能够对小区公共上下行配置中的灵活时间单元进行配置。例如，只能在小区公共上下行TDD配置的灵活区域进行设备专用上下行的配置；即，只能改变小区公共上下行TDD配置的上下行区域，不能改变小区公共上下行TDD配置的上下行区域。
设备专用上下行配置可以由如下至少之一的信令针对一个时隙进行配置：无线资源控制(RRC)信令、介质访问控制(MAC)信令、或者物理层信令。其中，可以通过第一信令指示周期中的时隙位置，通过第二信令配置所述第一信令指示的时隙中的符号配置。

再例如，如果未配置下行符号数，则该时隙内没有下行符号；如果未配置上行符号数，则该时隙内没有上行符号；配置上行符号和/或下行符号数后，该时隙内剩余符号为灵活符号。
在一些实施例中，动态配置能够对半静态配置中的灵活时间单元进行配置。例如，可以对半静态配置的灵活区域指示相应的时隙格式(slot format)，从而进行动态配置，但是不能修改半静态指示的上下行区域。例如，可以使用DCI format 2_0来动态地指示某一时隙的格式；本申请不限于此。
在一些实施例中，可以由如下至少之一的信令指示所述动态配置应用的小区标识和/或所述动态配置对应的时隙格式索引(SFI)和/或所述动态配置应用的时隙格式：无线资源控制(RRC)信令、介质访问控制(MAC)信令、或者物理层信令。
在一些实施例中，所述动态配置应用的时隙格式包括：单一结构的格式、时隙内有一个灵活时间单元的格式、时隙内有两个灵活时间单元的格式、或者指示SFI的配置对半静态配置的信号/信道传输没有影响的格式。
例如，在单一结构的格式中，所述时隙中的符号全部为上行符号，或者所述时隙中的符号全部为下行符号，或者所述时隙中的符号全部为灵活符号。
例如，在时隙内有一个灵活时间单元的格式中，所述时隙从前到后依次包括：零个或一个以上的下行符号、一个以上的灵活符号、零个或一个以上的上行符号。
例如，在时隙内有两个灵活时间单元的格式中，所述时隙从前到后依次包括：零个或一个以上的下行符号、一个以上的灵活符号、零个或一个以上的上行符号、零个或一个以上的下行符号、一个以上的灵活符号、零个或一个以上的上行符号。例如，两个灵活区域分别位于一个时隙里前7个symbol和后7个symbol里。
再例如，指示SFI的配置对半静态配置的信号/信道传输没有影响的格式可称为255格式，该格式不能修改灵活区域。
