Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a connection link between a relay device, a terminal device, and a network device according to an embodiment of the present application. See Figure 1, including the control link, backhaul link, and access link.

The control link is used to link network devices and relay devices, and carries control data from network devices to relay devices. Control data from the network device to the relay device can be transmitted through the control link to instruct some behaviors of the relay device. For example, configuration information can be transmitted over the control link.

In order to facilitate understanding, the application scenarios of the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to Figure 2 .

Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario provided by the embodiment of the present application. Please refer to Figure 2, including network device 201, relay device 202a, relay device 202b, terminal device 203a and terminal device 203b. The relay device 202a and the relay device 202b are located within the coverage of the network device 201, and the terminal device 203a and the terminal device 203b may be located within the coverage of the network device 201, or may be located outside the coverage of the network device 201.

The relay device 202a can receive the data and/or signals sent by the network device 201 and forward them to the terminal device 203a. The relay device 202a can also receive the data and/or signals sent by the terminal device 203a and forward them to the terminal device 203a. Directed forwarding to network device 201.

The relay device 202b can receive data and/or signals sent by the network device 201 and forward them to the terminal device 203b. The relay device 202b can also receive the data and/or signals sent by the terminal device 203b and forward them to the terminal device 203b. Directed forwarding to network device 201.

As an example, only 2 relay devices and 2 terminal devices are shown here, but the application is not limited to this. The number of relay devices located under the coverage of the network device 201 can be more, with each relay device The number of communicating terminal devices can also be larger.

When relay equipment forwards data and/or signals in a directional manner, it may cause interference to other terminal equipment or relay equipment. As shown in Figure 2, when the relay device 202b forwards data and/or signals to the terminal device 203b, it may interfere with the forwarding of downlink data by the relay device 202a, and may also interfere with the reception of downlink data by the terminal device 203a.

In view of this, embodiments of the present application provide a communication method. The network device configures different on-off patterns (ON-OFF patterns) for relay devices participating in interference control. The relay devices participating in interference control are configured according to their respective on-off patterns. The pattern determines its own closed state, and each relay device works in a different closed state, which can reduce the interference of the interference source relay device to the interfered relay device and/or terminal device.

Below, the technical solution shown in this application will be described through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments can exist independently or can be combined with each other. The same or similar content will not be repeatedly described in different embodiments.

Figure 3 is a schematic flowchart 1 of a communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application. See Figure 3, the method can include:

S301. The network device determines the configuration information.

The configuration information may be used to indicate a disconnection pattern of the first relay device.

The network device may determine configuration information based on the number of relay devices participating in interference control.

The configuration information may include multiple sub-configuration information, and each sub-configuration information may be used to indicate the opening and closing pattern of the relay device. For multiple relay devices participating in interference control, the configuration information received by each relay device may be the same.

For example, the configuration information includes three sub-configuration information, and the relay device can determine the opening and closing pattern of the relay device based on any one of the three sub-configuration information.

The configuration information may also include only one sub-configuration information. For multiple relay devices participating in interference control, the configuration information received by each relay device may be different.

The configuration information of each relay device can be determined according to the number of terminal devices served by the relay device.

For example, if there are three relay devices participating in interference control, they are relay device 1, relay device Device 2 and relay device 3. If relay device 1 serves the largest number of terminal devices, you can configure a shorter shutdown duration for relay device 1.

S302. The network device sends configuration information to the first relay device.

The first relay device may be a relay device participating in interference control. The relay device participating in interference control includes an interference source relay device and an interfered relay device. The interfered relay device may be a directly interfered relay device, or may be a relay device served by the interfered terminal device.

Network devices can predefine configuration information according to protocols, or they can preconfigure configuration information for relay devices through radio resource control (RRC).

S303. The relay device determines the first breaking pattern according to the configuration information.

The first on-off pattern may be used to indicate the period of the first relay device's open state and the period of its closed state. The open state may refer to the first relay device performing uplink and downlink data forwarding, and the closed state may refer to the first relay device's uplink and downlink data forwarding. Stop uplink and downlink data forwarding or stop downlink data forwarding.

The duration of the open state can be the same as the duration of the closed state, the duration of the open state can also be shorter than the duration of the closed state, and the duration of the open state can also be greater than the duration of the closed state.

In a breaking pattern, the period of the open state can be one continuous period, and the period of the closed state can be one continuous period, or multiple discontinuous periods. The duration of multiple discontinuous periods can be the same. It can also be different.

For ease of understanding, the breaking pattern will be described in detail below with reference to Figures 4a, 4b and 4c.

Figure 4a is a schematic diagram of the time domain structure of a switching pattern provided by an embodiment of the present application. Please refer to Figure 4a. The open state is a continuous period from time t1 to time t2, and the closed state is a continuous period from time t2 to time t3, where t1<t2<t3.

Figure 4b is a schematic diagram of the time domain structure of another switching pattern provided by an embodiment of the present application. Please refer to Figure 4b. The open state is a continuous period from time t2 to time t3, and the closed state is two discontinuous periods, which are a continuous period from time t1 to time t2, and from time t3 to time t4. A continuous period of time. Among them, the time length from time t1 to time t2 is the same as the time length from time t3 to time t4, t1<t2<t3<t4.

Figure 4c is a schematic diagram of the time domain structure of yet another on-off pattern provided by the embodiment of the present application. Please refer to Figure 4c. The open state is a continuous period from time t2 to time t3, and the closed state is two discontinuous periods, which are a continuous period from time t1 to time t2, and from time t3 to time t4. A continuous period of time. Among them, the time from t1 to t2 is longer than the time from t3 to t4, t1<t2<t3<t4.

The breaking pattern may be a periodically repeating pattern. The period of the opening and closing pattern can be obtained from the network device The periodic configuration information may include the period of the opening pattern and the offset value. The cycle refers to how many time slots (slots) the opening and closing pattern is repeated each time, and the offset value refers to the time slot at which the opening and closing pattern starts for a cycle.

For example, if the periodic configuration information is (slot 4,2), it means that the interruption pattern is repeated every 4 time slots, and the interruption pattern starts on the time slot numbered 2.

The relay device can start interference control after receiving the instruction information, and periodically repeats the on-off pattern during the interference control period, and does not stop interference control until it receives the instruction information to stop interference control.

In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the network device determines the configuration information and sends the configuration information to the first relay device. The first relay device determines the first disconnection pattern based on the configuration information. The first disconnection pattern is used to indicate The first relay device has an open state period and a closed state period. Relay devices participating in interference control can determine their respective on-off patterns based on the configuration information, and determine their own shutdown status based on the on-off patterns. Each relay device works in a different shutdown status, which can reduce interference source relay equipment's Interference from interfering relay equipment and/or terminal equipment.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the above communication method will be described in detail in several specific ways below. Among them, the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is a multiple display configuration mode, the embodiment shown in FIG. 8 is a single display configuration mode, and the embodiment shown in FIG. 9 is an implicit configuration mode.

S501. The network device determines the configuration information.

Network devices can determine configuration information in the following ways:

A first number of relay devices participating in interference control is determined according to the locations of the multiple relay devices; and the configuration information is determined according to the first number.

Optionally, the first number of relay devices participating in interference control may also be determined according to the frequency resources allocated by the network device to each relay device, and the first number of relay devices participating in interference control may also be determined according to the beam direction indicated by the network device for each relay device. The first number of relay devices is not specifically limited in this application.

There are two ways to configure configuration information, one is uniform configuration, and the other is non-uniform configuration; among them, uniform configuration can indicate that multiple relay devices participating in interference control, within the total duration of the interruption pattern, occupy the open state. The durations are all the same; non-uniform configuration can indicate that multiple relay devices participating in interference control have different open states within the total duration of the interruption pattern.

In a possible implementation, non-uniform configuration can also indicate multiple relay devices participating in interference control. Within the total duration of the interruption pattern, the duration of the open state is the same, but in the configuration information Features included are different from features included in a uniform configuration.

When the configuration is uniform, the configuration information may include: identification of multiple disconnection patterns, the total duration of the disconnection patterns, and the first number of relay devices participating in interference control.

Among them, the identification of the breaking pattern can not only indicate different breaking patterns, but also indicate the position of the open state in the breaking pattern.

The first number of relay devices participating in interference control may be used to determine the length of time each relay device's open state accounts for in the total duration of the interruption pattern.

When it is a non-uniform configuration, the configuration information may include: the identification of multiple breaking patterns, the total duration of the breaking patterns, and the status information corresponding to the open state in each breaking pattern. The state information includes the opening time of the open state. and the duration of activation.

S502. The network device sends configuration information to the first relay device.

It should be noted that the execution process of S502 can be referred to the execution process of S302, which will not be described again here.

S503. The network device sends first indication information to the first relay device, where the first indication information includes a first disconnect pattern identifier.

The first indication information may be media access control-control element (MAC-CE) signaling or downlink control information (DCI), which is not specifically limited in this application.

The first indication information received by multiple relay devices participating in interference control is different, and the identity of the on-off pattern indicated by each first indication information is different.

In the first indication information, the bit width N ₂ occupied by the first disconnection pattern identifier is determined based on the first number M of relay devices participating in interference control, and the first number is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

In one possible implementation, N ₂ =log ₂ M bits.
