技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,并且更具体地,涉及一种资源调度方法和通信装置。
背景技术
随着移动通信系统的新业务的不断涌现,无线数据流量快速增长。为了支持未来网络容量和传输速率需求,需要更大的传输带宽。载波聚合(carrier aggregation,CA)是解决载波带宽受限问题的关键技术,其通过将多个小区的载波聚合在一起的方式,实现更大的传输带宽。
然而,在目前的CA通信方式中,网络设备需要发送与被调度的小区数量成正比数量的调度信息来实现同时调度多个小区的资源,存在调度信息占用的控制资源开销较大、调度效率较低的问题。
发明内容
本申请提供了一种资源调度方法和通信装置以及通信设备,以提高资源利用率及资源调度效率。

该方法包括:向终端设备发送多个配置信息,该多个配置信息包括第一配置信息和第二配置信息,该第一配置信息用于配置在第一小区中发送多载波联合调度方式的调度信息,该第二配置信息用于配置第二小区的资源采用该多载波联合调度方式被调度。在该第一小区中向该终端设备发送第一调度信息,该第一调度信息用于调度多个小区的资源,该多个小区包括该第二小区或包括该第一小区和该第二小区。
根据上述方案,网络设备通过发送配置信息通知终端设备接收多载波联合调度信息的小区以及能够被多载波联合调度方式调度的小区的资源,使得终端设备确定检测多载波联合调度信息的小区,以及多载波联合调度方式调度的小区的资源,实现了一个调度信息调度多个小区的资源的多载波联合调度方式应用在网络设备与终端设备的通信中,减小了网络设备利用多个小区资源与终端设备通信的调度信息开销。提高了资源调度的效率。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实施方式中,该第二配置信息包括第一组标识信息,该第一组标识信息用于标识该多个小区组成的联合调度小区组,且该第一调度信息包括该第一组标识信息。
根据上述方案,网络设备可以通过配置信息配置小区所属的联合调度小区组的组标识信息,网络设备可以通过多载波联合调度信息指示一个组标识信息的方式通知终端设备被 调度资源的小区组。使得终端设备与网络设备对被调度资源的小区组能够达成共识。

为了更好地理解本申请实施例,下面对本文中涉及到的技术及术语做简单说明。
一、小区和载波
小区可以理解为通过网络设备识别码或全球小区识别码进行标识的无线信号的覆盖区域。小区是从资源管理角度来看对无线通信资源进行管理的单元,小区的物理层资源包括至少一个载波,载波是从物理层角度来说用来承载无线信号的载体,无线信号可以包括控制信息、业务数据和参考信号中的一种或多种信号。载波占用一定的频域资源,以载波频点和载波频带的带宽来表征。一个小区包括至少一个载波,该至少一个载波中包括一个下行载波,下行载波用于承载网络设备向终端发送的无线信号。一个小区的至少一个载波中还可以包括一个或多个上行载波,上行载波用于承载终端向网络发送的无线信号。根据不同的双工方式,例如,小区采用频分双工(frequency division duplex,FDD)方式时,一个小区的下行载波和上行载波可以不同。小区采用时分双工(time division duplex,TDD)方式时,一个小区的下行载波和上行载波可以相同。
一个小区的载波作为频域资源与时间资源组成了该小区的时频资源,或者可以理解为载波随着时间的推移形成时频资源。网络设备与终端设备在该小区的通信信号(包括控制信息、参考信号和数据等)承载在该小区的时频资源上。具体地,下行载波与时间资源组成该小区的下行时频资源,上行载波与时间资源组成了该小区的上行时频资源。
本申请中,一个小区的资源是指该小区的载波频带的带宽范围内的时频资源,一个通信信号承载在一个小区的载波上是指该通信信号在该小区的载波频带内传输,或者说该通信信号承载在该小区的时频资源上。
二、载波聚合
在非载波聚合场景中,终端设备可以与一个小区建立通信连接,由该小区为该终端设备提供网络服务,该小区可以称为该终端设备的服务小区(serving cell)。
在载波聚合(CA)场景中,终端设备可以与多个小区建立通信连接,该多个小区作为终端设备的服务小区为终端设备提供通信服务,该多个小区的载波频率不同,载波频带不重叠,增大了网络设备与终端设备的通信带宽,能够提升数据传输速率。其中,终端设备初始接入的小区称为主小区(primary cell,PCell),用于终端设备与网络建立无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接。网络可以根据终端设备的传输需求,为终端设备配置辅小区(secondary cell,SCell),以为终端设备提供更多的上行传输资源和/或下行传输资源。辅小区可以通过主小区的RRC信令进行配置,并且可以通过媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)控制元素(control element,CE)或下行控制信(downlink control information,DCI)实现辅小区的激活或去激活。
目前,在CA场景中,若接入网设备需要同时调度多个小区的资源(如物理下行共享行道(physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH)或物理上行共享行道(physical uplink shared channel,PDSCH))与终端设备通信。接入网设备需要发送多个下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)进行调度,其中,一个DCI调度一个小区的资源。基于调度一个小区的资源的DCI是否承载在该小区的载波上,分为自载波调度方式与跨载波调度方式。
自载波调度方式是指在一个小区发送调度该小区的资源(PDSCH或PUSCH)的DCI。即承载DCI的资源与该DCI调度的资源属于同一小区。如图2所示,一个终端设备包括两个服务小区,分别为小区1和小区2。对于终端设备的两个服务小区,网络设备均可以采用自载波调度方式,如网络设备在小区1的资源(如物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PUCCH))上发送DCI1,该DCI1用于调度小区1的PDSCH1,以及网络设备在小区2的资源上发送DCI2,该DCI2用于调度小区2的PDSCH2。网络设备可以通过DCI1和DCI2调度时间上重叠的PDSCH1和PDSCH2,能够提高终端设备的数据的传输速率。
跨载波调度方式是指在一个小区发送调度另一个小区到的资源的DCI,即承载DCI的资源与该DCI调度的资源不属于同一小区。如图3所示,网络设备可以采用跨载波调度方式调度小区2的资源,如网络设备在小区1发送DCI3,该DCI3用于调度小区2的PDSCH2。以及网络设备还可以在小区1发送用于调度小区1的PDSCH1的DCI1。该PDSCH2和PDSCH2在时间上重叠,能够提高终端设备的数据的传输速率。
如上述介绍,当网络设备需要同时调度多个小区的资源来提高数据传输速率时,网络设备需要发送与被调度的小区的个数成正比数量的调度信息,来实现同时调度多个小区的资源。调度信息占用的控制资源开销较大、调度效率较低。针对该问题,本申请提出可以通过一个调度信息调度多个小区的资源。例如,图4所示,在一个小区1中发送一个调度信息,如DCI4,该DCI4可以同时调度小区1的PDSCH1和小区2的PDSCH2。
为了实现一个调度信息调度多个小区的资源,本申请提供了一种资源调度方法,网络 设备可以通过配置信息为终端设备配置发送调度多个载波的一个调度信息(称为多载波联合调度信息)的小区以及能够被多载波联合调度信息调度资源的小区。使得终端设备能够基于配置信息确定检测多载波调度信息的小区以及被调度资源的多个小区。能够实现一个调度信息调度多个小区的资源的调度方式,提高资源利用率以及调度效率。
图5是本申请实施例提供的资源调度方法500的一个示意性流程图。
S501,网络设备向终端设备发送多个配置信息,该多个配置信息包括第一配置信息和第二配置信息,该第一配置信息用于配置在第一小区中发送多载波联合调度方式的调度信息,该第二配置信息用于配置第二小区的资源采用多载波联合调度方式被调度。
相应地,终端设备接收来自网络设备的该多个配置信息。
在本申请中,多载波联合调度方式是指一个调度信息指示调度多个小区的资源的调度方式,该多个小区的资源用于承载通信信号(包括参考信号和/或数据)。例如,网络设备可以通过一个调度信息调度多个小区的上行载波上的资源,或者可以通过一个调度信息调度多个小区的下行载波上的资源。多载波联合调度方式的调度信息可以称为多载波联合调度信息。
网络设备需要采用多载波联合调度方式调度多个小区的资源与终端设备通信时,网络设备可以向终端设备发送多个配置信息,其中,网络设备通过该多个配置信息中的第一配置信息通知终端设备多载波联合调度方式的调度信息在第一小区中发送。多载波联合调度方式的调度信息用于调度多个小区的资源,多个小区的资源中的一个小区的资源可以是用于承载数据的数据信道资源(如PDSCH或PUSCH),或者是用于承载参考信号的参考信号资源。
该多个配置信息还包括第二配置信息,网络设备通过第二配置信息通知终端设备第二小区的资源可以采用多载波联合调度方式被调度。
网络设备通过发送配置信息通知终端设备接收多载波联合调度信息的小区以及能够被多载波联合调度方式调度的小区的资源,使得终端设备确定检测多载波联合调度信息的小区,以及多载波联合调度方式调度的小区的资源,实现了一个调度信息调度多个小区的资源的多载波联合调度方式应用在网络设备与终端设备的通信中,减小了网络设备利用多个小区资源与终端设备通信的调度信息开销。
可选地,该多个配置信息承载在RRC消息中,其中,多个配置信息可以承载在同一RRC消息中,或者该多个配置信息可以承载在不同的RRC消息中。
网络设备向终端设备发送多个配置信息的方式包括但不限于以下实施方式:
实施方式一:网络设备向终端设备发送的该多个配置信息是多个小区的配置信息,其中,第一配置信息是第一小区的配置信息,第二配置信息是第二小区的配置信息。
小区的配置信息也可以称为服务小区配置信息,一个服务小区配置信息用于配置终端设备的一个服务小区。在该实施方式中,网络设备通过服务小区配置信息通知终端设备多载波联合调度信息是否在该小区发送,和/或,该小区的资源是否能够采用多载波联合调度方式被调度。
可选地,服务小区配置信息包括一个可选配置信息,记作信息A,该信息A用于配置多载波联合调度方式,若一个服务小区配置信息中包括该信息A,则终端设备可以确定该服务小区参与多载波联合调度。若一个服务小区的配置信息不包括该信息A,则终端设备可以确定该服务小区不参与多载波联合调度。但本申请不限于此,每个服务小区配置信息 均包括一个用于指示该服务小区参与或不参与多载波联合调度的指示信息。
示例性地,服务小区配置信息可以记作“ServingCellConfig”,信息A可以称为多载波调度配置信息,记作“multiCarrierSchedulingConfig”,服务小区配置信息可以表示如下:
其中,“OPTIONAL”表示该信息A为可选配置,“MultiCarrierSchedulingConfig”包括多载波联合调度方式的配置信息。以及,上述服务小区配置信息(ServingCellConfig)中的“…”表示该服务小区配置信息中还可以包括其他信息,本申请对此不作限定。
例如,第一小区的配置信息(即第一配置信息)中包括用于配置多载波联合调度方式的信息A1,该信息A1用于指示第一小区为调度小区,即多载波联合调度信息承载在第一小区的资源(如第一小区的PDCCH)上。第二小区的配置信息(即第二配置信息)中包括用于配置多载波联合调度方式的信息A2,该信息A2用于指示第二小区是多载波联合调度方式的被调度小区,即第二小区的资源可以采用多载波联合调度方式被调度。
需要说明的是,为了更好地理解本申请实施例提供的方案,采用了一些字符(如前文中ServingCellConfig表示服务小区配置信息等)进行示例性说明,应理解,在具体实施中可以采用其他表示方式实现相应的功能,本申请对此不作限定。
可选地,第一小区的配置信息还用于指示第一小区的资源是否采用多载波联合调度方式被调度。
例如,第一小区的配置信息指示第一小区的资源采用多载波联合调度方式被调度,一个示例中,第一小区的配置信息中的信息A还用于指示第一小区的资源采用多载波联合调度方式被调度,则第一小区的资源既承载多载波联合调度信息,又可以采用多载波联合调度方式被调度。网络设备可以在第一小区中发送一个调度信息,该调度信息可以调度第一小区的资源和第二小区的资源。该调度信息可以是上行调度信息,用于调度第一小区的PUSCH和第二小区的PUSCH传输上行数据,终端设备接收到该上行调度信息后,在该上行调度信息调度的第一小区的PUSCH和第二小区的PUSCH上发送上行数据。或者,该调度信息可以是下行调度信息,用于调度第一小区的PDSCH和第二小区的PDSCH传输下行数据,终端设备接收到该下行调度信息后,在该下行调度信息调度的第一小区的PDSCH和第二小区的PDSCH上接收下行数据。或者,第一小区的资源可以被第一小区以外的小区(如第三小区)资源上承载的多载波联合调度信息调度,该第三小区的配置信息也指示了在第三小区发送多载波联合调度信息。
再例如,第一小区的配置信息指示第一小区的资源不采用多载波联合调度方式被调度。网络设备可以在第一小区发送一个调度信息,该调度信息可以调度除第一小区以外的多个小区的资源,比如该多个小区包括第二小区。
可选地,第二小区的配置信息包括第一组标识信息,该第一组标识信息用于标识第二小区所属的联合调度小区组,一个联合调度小区组包括多个小区。
网络设备在调度第一组标识信息标识的多个小区的资源时,网络设备发送的调度信息包括第一组标识信息。终端设备接收到该调度信息后,确定第一组标识信息标识的联合调度小区组的资源被调度。
可选地,第二小区的配置信息包括第一小区的标识信息,该第一小区的标识信息用于指示调度该第二小区的资源的多载波联合调度信息在第一小区中发送。
网络设备在第一小区发送调度第二小区的资源的多载波联合调度信息。终端设备在第一小区检测调度了第二小区的资源的多载波联合调度信息。
在一种实施方式中,第二小区的配置信息可以既包括第一组标识信息又包括第一小区的标识信息。
终端设备接收到该第二小区的配置信息后,根据第二小区的配置信息中的第一组标识信息,确定第二小区所属的联合调度小区组。以及,终端设备根据第二小区的配置信息中的第一小区的标识信息,确定该联合调度小区组的调度信息在第一小区中发送。终端设备在第一小区的资源上检测多载波联合调度信息,若终端设备检测到一个调度信息,该调度信息包括第一组标识信息,终端设备确定该调度信息调度了第一组标识信息标识的联合调度小区组的资源。若终端设备检测到一个调度信息,该调度信息不包括第一组标识信息,则终端设备可以确定该调度信息未调度第一组标识信息标识的联合调度小组的资源。如该调度信息包括第二组标识信息,终端设备可以确定第二组标识信息标识的联合调度小区组,该调度信息调度的该联合调度小区组的资源。
一个示例中,服务小区的配置信息可以包括信息A(记作MultiCarrierSchedulingConfig),该信息A用于配置多载波联合调度方式,该信息A包括调度小区信息(记作SchedulingCellinfo),该调度小区信息用于指示该服务小区是否承载多载波联合调度信息,以及该调度小区信息用于指示该服务小区的资源是否采用多载波联合调度方式被调度。该信息A可以表示如下:
其中,调度小区信息SchedulingCellInfo的配置方式为CHOICE,即选择方式,CHOICE表示择一地选择own或other,own表示该小区为发送多载波联合调度信息的小区,other表示该小区的资源可以采用多载波调度方式被调度。
例如,在第一小区的配置信息中,该SchedulingCellInfo配置了own,终端设备根据第一小区的配置信息中SchedulingCellInfo配置了own,确定第一小区是发送多载波联合调度信息的小区。从而终端设备在第一小区中检测多载波联合调度信息。在第二小区的配置信息中,该SchedulingCellInfo配置了other,终端设备根据第二小区的配置信息中SchedulingCellInfo配置了other,确定第二小区的资源可以采用多载波调度方式被调度。
可选地,上述other配置信息包括调度该小区的资源的多载波调度信息所在的小区的标识信息和/或该小区所在的联合调度小区组的组标识信息。
例如,第二小区的配置信息中的other配置信息包括mif-SchedulingCellId。该mif-SchedulingCellId指示了一个小区的标识信息ServCellIndex,终端设备可以确定网络设备在ServCellIndex对应的小区(如第一小区)中发送调度第二小区的资源的多载波联合调度信息。
再例如,第二小区的配置信息中的other配置信息包括mif-InSchedulingCell。该mif-InSchedulingCell用于指示第二小区所属的联合调度小区组的组标识信息,该组标识信息可以是1至N中的一个整数。比如,该mif-InSchedulingCell指示的组标识信息为n,1≤n≤N。终端设备可以确定第二小区属于联合调度小区组n,当终端设备检测到一个指示了组标识信息为n的多载波联合调度信息时,终端设备确定该调度信息调度了第二小区所属的联合调度小区组。
再例如,第二小区的配置信息other配置信息包括指示第一小区的mif-SchedulingCellId和指示组标识信息n的mif-InSchedulingCell,则终端设备在第一小区检测指示了组标识信息为n的多载波联合调度信息。
可选地,上述own配置信息中可以包括自调度配置信息,记作mif-Presence,用于配置在第一小区发送的多载波联合调度信息是否调度第一小区的资源。
例如,该mif-Presence是上述布尔(BOOLEAN)型配置信息,若mif-Presence指示“真(true)”,表示在第一小区发送的多载波联合调度信息调度第一小区的资源。终端设备可以根据自调度配置信息指示“真”,确定在第一小区检测到的多载波联合调度信息均调度第一小区的资源。若mif-Presence指示“假(false)”,表示在第一小区发送的多载波联合调度信息不调度第一小区的资源。终端设备在第一小区检测到的多载波联合调度信息均不调度第一小区的资源。
另一个示例中,服务小区的配置信息既指示该小区是否是发送多载波联合调度信息的小区,又指示该小区的资源可以采用多载波联合调度方式被调度时调度信息所在的小区和/或所属的联合调度小区组。
例如,上一示例中调度小区信息SchedulingCellinfo不是选择型配置,如可以是序列(SEQUENCE)型,其中,own和other均为可选(OPTIONAL)配置,例如,服务小区的配置信息可以包括MultiCarrierSchedulingConfig(即信息A的一个示例),示例性地,MultiCarrierSchedulingConfig可以表示如下:
其中,own和other均为可选配置,例如,第一小区的配置信息中的信息A可以包括该own配置信息,表示该第一小区是发送多载波联合调度信息的小区。第一小区的配置信息中的信息A还可以包括other配置信息,表示第一小区的资源也可以采用多载波联合调 度方式被调度。other配置信息可以通过Other配置调度小区的标识信息和/或第一小区所属的联合调度小区组,如网络设备可以通过mif-SchedulingCellId指示一个小区的标识信息ServCellIndex,例如,该ServCellIndex可以标识第一小区,则终端设备可以根据ServCellIndex标识第一小区,确定调度包含第一小区的资源的多载波联合调度信息在第一小区中发送。或者,该ServCellIndex可以标识第三小区,终端设备可以确定调度包含第一小区的资源的多载波联合调度信息在第三小区中发送。网络设备可以通过mif-InSchedulingCell指示第一小区所属的联合调度小区组的组标识信息,终端设备可以基于多载波联合调度信息是否指示该组标识信息,确定第一小区所属的联合调度小区组是否被调度。
可选地,一个服务小区可以属于多个联合调度小区组,该服务小区的配置信息可以包括多个组标识信息,该多个组标识信息用于标识该服务小区所属的多个联合调度小区组。
若第二小区属于多个联合调度小区组,则第二配置信息(即第二小区的配置信息)包括多个组标识信息,该多个组标识信息包括上述第一组标识信息。例如,网络设备为终端设备配置了4个服务小区,如第一小区、第二小区、第三小区和第四小区,该4个服务小区组成3个联合调度小区组,该3个联合调度小区组的标识信息分别为0、1、2。其中,联合调度组0和联合调度组2包括第二小区,如联合调度小区组0包括第二小区和第三小区,联合调度小区组2包括第一小区、第二小区和第四小区,则第二小区的配置信息包括2个组标识信息,分别为0和2。以及第三小区的配置信息中包括组标识信息0,第一小区的配置信息和第四小区的配置信息中包括组标识信息2。此外,联合调度小区组1包含的小区的配置信息包括组标识信息1。终端设备根据该4个服务小区的配置信息中的标识信息,确定该3个联合调度小区组中每个联合调度小区组包括的服务小区。
第一小区的配置信息也可以包括至少一个组标识信息,该至少一个组标识信息中一个组标识信息用于标识第一小区所属的一个联合调度小区组。具体可以参考上述第二小区的实施方式实施,在此不再赘述。
在一种实施方式中,可以在目前小区的配置信息中增加用于配置多载波联合调度的信息A。或者,由于多载波调度方式中的至少一个小区的资源是采用跨载波调度方式被调度的,即承载调度信息的资源与该调度信息被调度的资源不属于同一个小区(或者说不属于同一载波),可以认为多载波调度方式属于跨载波调度方式,因此,可以复用目前小区的配置信息的跨载波调度信息配置多载波调度方式,即目前小区的配置信息的跨载波调度信息中可以包括上述信息A。
以上介绍了实施方式一,网络设备发送的多个配置信息为多个小区的配置信息,通过小区的配置信息配置参与多载波联合调度方式的调度小区(即发送多载波联合调度信息的小区)和被调度小区(即小区的资源可以采用多载波联合调度方式被调度的小区)。使得终端设备根据小区的配置信息可以确定调度小区和被调度小区,在调度小区中检测多载波联合调度信息,并基于小区配置信息和检测到的多载波联合调度信息,确定被调度小区。
下面介绍本申请实施例提供的实施方式二,网络设备可以通过多载波调度信息的配置信息配置发送该多载波调度信息的小区和该多载波调度信息能够调度的联合调度小区组。
实施方式二:网络设备向终端设备发送第一信息,该第一信息用于配置第一调度信息,该第一调度信息为多载波联合调度信息,该第一信息包括上述第一配置信息和第二配置信息。
终端设备接收用于配置第一调度信息的第一信息,根据该第一信息中的第一配置信息,确定发送该第一调度信息的小区。以及终端设备根据第一信息中的第二配置信息可以确定该第一调度信息可以调度资源的多个小区。
可选地,该第一配置信息包括一个或多个小区的标识信息,该一个或多个小区的标识信息用于指示发送该第一调度信息的一个或多个小区,该一个或多个小区包括第一小区。
例如,第一配置信息可以配置发送第一调度信息的一个小区,如第一小区,终端设备可以根据第一配置信息确定在第一小区的资源上检测第一调度信息,如终端设备在第一小区的PDCCH上检测网络设备是否发送了第一调度信息。
再例如,第一配置信息可以配置发送第一调度信息的多个小区,如第一小区和第三小区,则终端设备在该第一小区和第三小区的PDCCH上检测网络设备是否发送了第一调度信息。网络设备在第一小区和第三小区中的一个小区中发送第一调度信息。比如,在一次调度中,网络设备可以判断第一小区和第三小区中控制信道资源的利用情况,确定一个小区,如网络设备可以确定可用控制信道资源较多的第一小区,在第一小区发送第一调度信息,该第一调度信息指示调度了多个小区的资源。在另一次调度中,网络设备可以在第三小区发送第一调度信息,通知终端设备被调度的多个小区的资源。
可选地,第二配置信息包括一个或多个组标识信息,该一个或多个组标识信息是该第一调度信息的多个候选联合调度小区组的标识信息。其中,每个候选联合调度小区组包括多个小区。该一个或多个组标识信息包括第一组标识信息,该第一组标识信息标识的候选联合调度小区组包括第二小区。
一个示例中,网络设备向终端设备发送的第一调度信息包括第二配置信息配置的组标识信息中的一个组标识信息。终端设备接收到第一调度信息后,确定该第一调度信息调度的是该组标识信息标识的候选联合调度小区组。
另一个示例中,第二配置信息配置一个组标识信息,如第一组标识信息,该第一信息中还包括该第一调度信息的标识信息,网络设备向终端设备发送的第一调度信息中包括该第一调度信息的标识信息。终端设备接收到一个调度信息后,根据该调度信息中包括第一调度信息的标识信息,确定该调度信息为第一调度信息,并根据第二配置信息,确定该第一调度信息调度的候选联合调度小区组是第一组标识信息标识的候选联合调度小区组。也就是说,网络设备可以向终端设备发送多载波联合调度信息的一个或多个配置信息,该一个或多个配置信息包括第一信息,其中,一个配置信息用于配置一个多载波联合调度信息,且该配置信息配置了该多载波联合调度信息的标识信息和该多载波联合调度信息可以调度的一个候选联合调度小区组。终端设备根据接收到的调度信息中包含的多载波联合调度信息的标识信息和该多载波联合调度信息的配置信息,确定该调度信息调度的候选联合调度小区组。示例性地,该第一调度信息可以是DCI,该第一信息可以记作SingleDCI,该SingleDCI用于配置多载波联合调度方式的DCI,即第一调度信息。该SingleDCI可以表示如下:
其中,singleDCI-Id指示了该第一调度信息的标识信息SingleDCI-Id,SchedulingCarrier为第一配置信息的一个示例,该SchedulingCarrier指示了一个小区的标识信息ServCellIndex,表示该ServCellIndex标识的小区是发送第一调度信息的小区。例如,ServCellIndex标识的小区为第一小区。ScheduledCarriers为第二配置信息的一个示例,该ScheduledCarriers指示一个候选联合调度小区组的组标识信息,该组标识信息为1至N中的一个整数。例如,该ScheduledCarriers指示了第一组标识信息,如第一组标识信息为n,1≤n≤N。该第一组标识信息标识的一个候选联合调度小区组包括第二小区。终端设备接收到该SingleDCI后,确定在第一小区的资源上检测该第一调度信息。若终端设备在第一小区检测到一个调度信息,且该调度信息指示该调度信息的标识信息为SingleDCI-Id,则终端设备可以确定该调度信息为第一调度信息,由于第一调度信息的配置信息中第二配置信息包括第一组标识信息,终端设备确定该第一调度信息调度的是第一组标识信息标识的候选联合调度小区组的资源。
可选地,在实施方式二中,第一调度信息为上行多载波调度信息,第一信息具体可以是上行多载波调度信息的配置信息,例如,第一调度信息是用于调度多个小区的上行资源的上行DCI。或者,第一调度信息为下行多载波调度信息,第一信息可以具体是下行多载波调度信息的配置信息。例如,第一调度信息是用于调度多个小区的下行资源的下行DCI。
实施方式三,该第一配置信息用于配置多载波联合调度方式的调度信息在第一小区发送。该第二配置信息用于配置该调度信息对应的至少一个候选联合调度小区组,该至少一个候选联合调度小组中的一个或多个候选联合调度小区组包括第二小区。
例如,第一配置信息可以包括第一小区的标识信息,终端设备接收到该第一配置信息后,根据该第一配置信息包括第一小区的标识信息,确定在第一小区检测多载波联合调度信息。该第二配置信息配置了能够被第一小区发送的该多载波联合调度信息调度资源的至少一个候选联合调度小区组及每个候选联合调度小区组的组标识信息。网络设备在第一小区发送的多载波联合调度信息可以包括至少一个候选联合调度小区组中的一个小区组的组标识信息。终端设备可以根据该组标识信息,确定被调度资源的小区组。
一个示例中,网络设备向终端设备发送的RRC消息中包括多载波调度配置信息,如记作MultiCarrierSchedulingConfig,该多载波调度配置信息包括上述第一配置信息和第二配置信息,该多载波调度配置信息可以表示如下:
其中,SchedulingCarrier为第一配置信息,其指示一个小区的标识信息ServCellIndex,终端设备根据SchedulingCarrier可以确定网络设备在ServCellIndex对应的小区(如第一小 区)中发送多载波联合调度信息。第二配置信息包括候选联合调度小区组列表信息(即上述ScheduledCellCombinationList)和至少一个候选联合调度小区组配置信息(即上述ScheduledCellCombination)。其中,一个候选联合调度小区组配置信息用于配置一个候选联合调度小区组,如ScheduledCellCombination具体配置了该候选联合调度小区组的组标识信息CellCombinationID,以及ScheduledCarriers通过指示小区的标识信息ServCellIndex配置了该候选联合调度小区组包含的小区。其中,maxScheduledCellCombination表示一个多载波联合调度信息对应的候选调度小区组的最大数量,maxScheduledCell表示一个多载波联合调度信息能够调度的小区的最大数量。
以上介绍了网络设备通过发送配置信息通知终端设备接收多载波联合调度信息的小区以及能够被多载波联合调度方式调度的小区的资源的具体实施方式。下面介绍网络设备可以基于终端设备的能力信息为终端设备配置联合调度小区组。
可选地,在网络设备为终端设备配置多载波联合调度方式之前,终端设备向网络设备发送第二信息,该第二信息用于指示终端设备支持多载波联合调度的至少一个频段,上述第一小区和第二小区的载波在该至少一个频段内。
该第二信息可以承载在终端设备向网络设备发送的终端设备的能力信息中。终端设备通过第二信息通知网络设备终端设备能够支持多载波联合调度的至少一个频段。网络设备接收到该第二信息后,可以基于终端设备的能力,在该至少一个频段内为终端设备配置参与多载波联合调度的小区。
例如,第二信息指示终端设备支持多载波联合调度的一个频段,如频段1,网络设备接收到该第二信息后可以确定在该频段1内确定联合调度小区组。比如,网络设备在该频段1内为终端设备配置了3个服务小区,如小区1、小区2和小区3,那么该3个服务小区均可以被一个调度信息联合调度。网络设备可以在该3个服务小区中确定联合调度小区组,如一个联合调度小区组可以包括小区1、小区2和小区3,或者可以包括小区1和小区2等。
再例如,第二信息指示终端设备支持多载波联合调度的多个频段,如频段1和频段2,网络设备接收到该第二信息后可以确定在该频段1和频段2内确定参与多载波联合调度的小区。比如,网络设备在该频段1内为终端设备配置了2个服务小区,如小区1、小区2,在频段2内为终端设备配置了2个服务小区,如小区3和小区4。终端设备可以在该4个服务小区中确定联合调度小区组。如一个联合调度小区组包括小区1、小区2和小区3,或者包括小区1和小区4,或者包括小区3和小区4等。
作为示例非限定,该第二信息承载在RRC消息中。示例性地,该第二信息可以记作multicarrierscheduling-bandList,该第二信息可以表示如下:
multicarrierscheduling-bandList SEQUENCE(SIZE(1..maxSimultaneousBands2))OF 
MultiCarrierSchedulingBandParameters
其中,该第二信息包括至少一个频段信息MultiCarrierSchedulingBandParameters,每个频段信息用于指示终端设备支持多载波联合调度的一个频段。上述maxSimultaneousBands2为终端设备能够上报的支持多载波联合调度的频段的最大个数M。该最大个数可以是预定义的。第二信息指示的至少一个频段的个数小于或等于M。
可选地,该第二信息还指示该至少一个频段中每个频段支持上行多载波联合调度和/或下行多载波联合调度。
网络设备接收到该第二信息后,确定终端设备支持的上行多载波联合调度的频段,和/或,支持的下行多载波联合调度的频段。若网络设备为终端设备配置上行多载波联合调度,网络设备在终端设备支持的上行多载波联合调度的频段内确定上行联合调度小区组并通知终端设备。若网络设备为终端设备配置下行多载波联合调度,网络设备在终端设备支持的下行多载波联合频段内确定下行联合调度小区组并通知终端设备。
例如,网络设备可以在每个频段对应的上述频段信息还用于指示该频段是否支持上行多载波联合调度以及指示该频段是否支持下行多载波联合调度。终端设备向网络设备发送的第二信息中包括3个频段信息,该3个频段信息指示终端设备支持多载波联合调度的3个频段,每个频段信息包括相应的频段的标识信息,如该3个频段为频段1、频段2、频段3。频段1的频段信息指示频段1支持下行多载波调度,频段2的频段信息既支持下行多载波调度又支持上行多载波调度,频段3的频段信息指示频段3支持上行多载波调度。网络设备接收到该第二信息后,可以确定终端设备在频段1和频段2支持下行多载波调度,网络设备可以在频段1和频段2内的确定终端设备的上行联合调度小区组。以及网络设备可以确定终端设备在频段2和频段3支持上行多载波调度,网络设备可以在频段2和频段3内确定终端设备的下行联合调度小区组。
示例性地,该频段信息可以表示如下:
其中,该频段信息中包括频段指示信息用于指示终端设备支持多载波调度的频段的标识信息FreqBandIndicator,以及该频段信息可以包括可选配置MCS-BandwidthClassDL和/或MCS-BandwidthClassUL。若该频段信息中包括MCS-BandwidthClassDL,则表示该FreqBandIndicator标识的频段支持下行多载波调度,若该频段信息中不包括MCS-BandwidthClassDL,则表示该频段不支持下行多载波调度。同样,终端设备可以根据该频段信息中是否包括MCS-BandwidthClassUL,确定该频段是否支持上行多载波调度。
S502,网络设备在第一小区中向终端设备发送第一调度信息,第一调度信息用于调度多个小区的资源,该多个小区包括第二小区或包括第一小区和第二小区。
相应地,终端设备在第一小区接收来自网络设备的该第一调度信息。
例如,第一调度信息中包括第一组标识信息,终端设备可以确定第一调度信息调度的是第一组标识信息标识的联合调度小区组中的多个小区,联合调度小区组包括第二小区,则第二小区被调度。若联合调度小区组还包括第一小区,则第一小区和第二小区被调度。
可选地,网络设备还向终端设备发送第二调度信息,该第二调度信息用于调度至少一个小区的资源。其中,第一调度信息为上行调度信息,第二调度信息为下行调度信息。或者,第一调度信息为下行调度信息,第二调度信息为上行调度信息。
一种实施方式中,网络设备在第一小区向终端设备发送第二调度信息,
网络设备可以配置上行多载波联合调度信息和下行多载波联合调度信息在同一小区发送,使得终端设备仅需要在一个小区上检测多载波联合调度方式的调度信息。避免在多个小区的资源上检测多载波联合调度信息,能够减小终端设备检测调度信息的功率消耗。
可选地,第一调度信息的信息长度与第二调度信息的信息长度相等。第一调度信息和第二调度信息包括格式指示域,该格式指示域用于指示该调度信息是上行多载波联合调度信息或下行多载波联合调度信息。
上行多载波联合调度信息和下行多载波联合调度信息的长度相等能够避免增加终端设备盲检测调度信息的长度种类,能够减小终端设备的盲检测次数,从而减小终端设备的功率消耗。
例如,确定上行多载波调度信息和下行多载波调度信息中的有效指示域较短的调度信息,通过对有效指示域较短的调度信息进行比特填充的方式使得上行多载波调度信息和下行多载波调度信息的长度相等。其中,有效指示域是指示了调度参数的指示信息。比如,上行多载波调度信息中包含的有效指示域的总长度为X,下行多载波调度信息中包含的有效指示域的总长度为Y,若X<Y,上行多载波调度信息中的有效指示域后包括Y-X个置0比特,若X>Y,上行多载波调度信息中的有效指示域后包括X-Y个填充比特,使得上行多载波调度信息与下行多载波调度信息的长度相等。网络设备与终端设备能够对填充比特的长度达成共识,终端设备不读取填充比特,或者终端设备可以通过填充比特校验调度信息是否正确接收,如网络设备与终端设备默认填充比特置0,终端设备可以基于填充比特是否全为0确定是否正确接收该调度信息,但本申请不限于此。
另一种实施方式中,网络设备在第三小区发送上述第二调度信息。其中,该第三小区为该第一调度信息调度的多个小区以外的小区。
例如,网络设备为终端设备配置了4个服务小区,分别为小区1、小区2、小区3和小区4,其中,小区1和小区2即包括上行载波又包括下行载波,小区3和小区4仅包括下行载波。网络设备可以为终端设备配置在小区1(即第一小区的一个示例)发送下行多载波联合调度信息和在小区4(即第三小区的一个示例)发送上行多载波联合调度信息,下行多载波调度信息用于调度包括小区1、小区2和小区3的联合调度小区组的资源,上行多载波联合调度信息用于调度包括小区1和小区2的联合调度小区组的资源。
为了提高控制资源的资源利用率,其中控制资源用于承载调度信息,可以规定除主小区以外的小区的资源不可以同时承载跨载波调度其他小区的资源的调度信息又被其他载波上的调度信息调度该小区的资源。因此,可以规定上行多载波调度信息和下行多载波调度信息中的至少一个不在属于联合调度小区组的小区中发送。例如,上述第一小区可以是主小区,第三小区不属于联合调度小区组的小区。
可选地,上述第一信息包括第三配置信息,该第三配置信息用于配置第一调度信息中包含的指示域。
该第三配置信息配置第一调度信息包括一个第一指示域,该一个第一指示域适用于该多个小区的多载波联合调度资源。或者,该第三配置信息用于指示第一调度信息包括多个第一指示域,该多个第一指示域分别适用于多载波联合调度的多个小区。
第三配置信息可以称为指示域配置信息,第三配置信息可以配置第一调度信息中的一个或多个指示域是适用于第一调度信息调度的多个小区的多载波联合调度资源共用或独立的。若第三配置信息指示指示域1(即第一指示域的一个示例)是多个小区的多载波联合调度资源共用的,则第一调度信息包括一个该指示域1,该指示域1指示的内容适用于多个小区的多载波联合调度资源。若第三配置信息指示指示域2是多个小区的多载波联合调度资源独立的,则第一调度信息中包括多个小区中每个小区对应的一个指示域2,一个 指示域2仅适用于相对应的小区。
例如,第三配置信息可以记作SingleDCIFieldConfig,该SingleDCIFieldConfig可以表示如下:
如上,第三配置信息中指示域配置为枚举(ENUMERATED)类型的配置信息,网络设备可以在公共(common)和独立(independent)两种可选状态中指示一种状态。示例性地,Field1为时域资源分配域,该时域资源分配域用于指示调度的时域资源。网络设备发送的该SingleDCIFieldConfig中Field1的枚举状态为common,即公共的。Field2可以是调制编码方式(modulation and coding scheme,MCS)指示域,该MCS指示域用于指示调制阶数及信道编码的码率。网络设备发送的该SingleDCIFieldConfig中Field2的枚举状态为independent,即独立的。终端设备根据该配置信息,确定第一调度信息中包括一个时域资源分配域以及包括多个MCS指示域。对于独立状态的指示域,第一调度信息中包含的该指示域的个数,如MCS指示域的个数,可以根据网络设备配置的第一调度信息可以调度的多个小区的最大个数确定。比如,网络设备配置的第一调度信息可以调度的联合调度小区组中包含的小区的最大个数为N,则终端设备确定第一调度信息中包括N个MSC指示域。当终端设备接收到第一调度信息后,可以根据第一调度信息中的一个时域资源分配域确定第一调度信息调度的多个小区的资源的时间资源均为时域资源分配域指示的时间资源。以及,第一调度信息中包括N个MCS指示域,终端设备根据每个MCS指示域确定每个MCS指示域对应的小区的资源上传输的数据采用的MCS。该第一指示域可以包括但不限于以下指示域中的一项或多项:
MCS指示域,用于指示被调度的数据采用的调制阶数及信道编码的码率;
时域资源分配域,用于指示被调度的传输资源的时域位置;
频域资源分配域,用于指示被调度的传输资源的频域位置;
天线端口指示域,用于指示被调度的天线端口;
探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS)资源指示域,用于指示承载SRS的资源;
预编码信息和传输层数指示域,用于指示数据传输采用的预编码信息和数据传输的传输层数;
上行(uplink,UL)/补充上行(supplementary UL,SUL)指示域,用于指示被调度的小区的资源是上行资源或补充上行资源。
根据上述方案,当采用多载波调度方式调度多个小区的资源时,网络设备可以配置调度信息中的指示域为公共的或独立的,针对多个小区的相同调度信息通过一个指示域指示,能够减小调度信息的信息开销,提高资源利用率。
终端设备可以向网络设备发送第三信息,该第三信息用于指示终端设备是否支持在同一个小区内既检测多载波调度信息又检测第三调度信息。其中,该第三调度信息是采用跨载波调度方式进行资源调度的单载波调度信息,第三调度信息用于调度该第三调度信息所 在的小区以外的小区的资源,即承载该第三调度信息的资源与该第三调度信息调度的资源不属于同一小区。
示例性地,第三调度信息可以是DCI格式1_1、DCI格式0_1、DCI格式0_2或DCI格式1_2中的一种或多种格式的DCI。
若第三信息指示终端设备不支持在同一个小区内既检测多载波调度信息又检测第三调度信息。网络设备仅能够配置终端设备在一个小区内检测多载波调度信息或第三调度信息中的一种调度信息。若第三信息指示终端设备支持在同一个小区内既检测多载波调度信息又检测第三调度信息,则网络设备可以配置终端设备在一个小区内检测多载波调度信息和第三调度信息中的一种或多种调度信息。
终端设备可以向网络设备发送第四信息,该第四信息用于指示在终端设备支持检测多载波调度信息的情况下检测第四调度信息的能力。其中,第四调度信息是采用自载波调度方式进行资源调度的单载波调度信息,该第四调度信息用于调度该第四调度信息所在的小区中的资源,即承载该第四调度信息的资源与该第四调度信息调度的资源属于同一小区。
协议可以规定若终端设备支持检测多载波调度信息,则终端设备支持同一小区内既检测多载波调度信息又检测回退(fallback)格式的第四调度信息,而终端设备通过第四信息通知网络设备是否还支持在检测多载波调度信息的小区内检测非回退格式的第四调度信息,表示终端设备除能够在同一小区内既检测多载波调度信息又检测回退格式的第四调度信息以外,还支持在该小区检测非回退格式的第四调度信息。网络设备可以在终端设备检测多载波调度信息的小区,配置终端设备在该小区检测非回退格式的第四调度信息。
示例性地,回退格式的第四调度信息可以是DCI格式0_0和/或DCI格式1_0的DCI,非回退格式的第四调度信息可以是DCI格式1_1、DCI格式0_1、DCI格式0_2或DCI格式1_2中的一种或多种格式的DCI。
一种实施方式中,第四信息用于指示终端设备支持或不支持在检测多载波调度信息的小区内检测非回退格式的第四调度信息。例如,该第四信息可以包括1比特,该1比特为“1”表示支持,为“0”表示不支持,反之亦然。
另一种实施方式中,第四信息用于指示第四调度信息的一种或多种非回退格式。该一种或多种非回退格式是终端设备在检测多载波调度信息的小区内支持检测的第四调度信息的非回退格式。例如,该第四信息可以包括终端设备支持的第四调度信息的非回退格式的标识。网络设备可以根据第四信息,在终端设备检测多载波调度信息的小区,配置终端设备在该小区检测终端设备支持的非回退格式的第四调度信息。
又一种实施方式中,第四信息在指示终端设备支持在检测多载波调度信息的小区内检测非回退格式的第四调度信息的情况下,该第四信息还指示终端设备支持检测的第四调度信息的一种或多种非回退格式。
回退格式的第四调度信息相较于非回退格式的调度信息的载荷较小,终端设备至少支持在同一小区检测多载波调度信息及回退格式的第四调度信息,使得在通信质量较差的情况下通过回退格式的第四调度信息能够保持终端设备与网络设备之间的通信连接,以便实现链路失败恢复、RRC重配置等。
根据上述方案,终端设备可以向网络设备通知其检测调度信息的能力,使得网络设备可以基于终端设备能力配置终端设备检测终端设备支持的调度信息。
