Description

信息处理方法、信息收发方法和装置 技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域。
背景技术
由于NR(新无线)基站需要工作在大带宽(如100MHz),需要使用大量端口(64T/64R),更短的TTI(传输时间间隔)(如1ms),NR基站在基带处理、数字前端等功能上的能耗开销要显著高于LTE(长期演进)基站。而且NR的FR2(频率范围2)工作频率(>6GHz)较高,频点越高时信号的路损越大,因此NR的设计原则是使用较窄的波束使信号传输得更远。这样,NR基站用来做模拟波束赋型的天线单元个数将大大增加,这就导致射频单元和和收发信号的射频通道数也随之增加,每个射频通道设有一个功率放大器(PA),PA的能耗会占到整个基站能耗的80%左右,随着PA数量增大基站的能耗也随之增加。当前FR1(频率范围1)频段AAU(有源天线单元)一般采用192个天线单元,支持64通道,比LTE最多8通道数要大得多。
根据运营商的数据统计,平均一个NR基站的能耗超过LTE基站能耗的三倍,运营商在部署5G(第5代)网络的成本中,有将近五成是电费开销。更重要的是,NR基站即使在没有业务的时间段,能耗开销还是很大,因为即使在没有业务时基站还是需要发送公共信号,例如SSB(同步信号块)、SIB1(第1系统信息块)和SI(系统信息)等,所以大大降低了NR基站的能源使用效率。NR网络节能是亟待解决的问题。
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
在3GPP Rel-15/Rel-16(第三代合作伙伴计划版本15/版本16)中,支持在同频(intra-band)载波聚合(CA)的场景下,终端设备的辅小区(SCell)可以不发送同步信号块(SSB),终端设备由特殊小区(SpCell)发送的SSB获得SCell的下行同步。 在同一站址,至少有一个小区发送SSB,只有发送SSB的小区才能作为终端设备的SpCell。
发明人发现,现有技术中,同一站址的小区中,必须有至少一个小区发送SSB,另外,终端设备的服务小区(至少SpCell)必须发送SSB。这样,即使在该站址没有业务时能量开销也很大,不利于网络节能。
另外,为了网络节能,假使终端设备的所有服务小区停止发送SSB,或延长SSB的发送周期,意味着终端设备失去对服务小区的下行同步和下行信道估计信号,也即终端设备无法基于服务小区的SSB进行测量,因此,终端设备的服务小区无法服务该终端设备。原本连接到该服务小区的终端设备必须切换到相邻小区,原本驻留在该服务小区的终端设备将进行小区重选(cell re-selection)以驻留在相邻小区。图1是网络节能方案示意图,如图1所示,为了网络节能,对于终端设备的SpCell,网络设备可以根据NR小区及其相邻小区的业务量、测量报告等信息动态的激活和去激活,当去激活小区时,停止发送该小区的同步信号块、系统信息等以及停止接收终端设备发送的上行信号。这样,在业务量较低的情况下,可以节省SpCell的能耗。
这样,小区进入节能状态时终端设备会切换到相邻小区,并告知相邻的NR网络设备或LTE网络设备该NR小区已进入节能状态,相邻的NR/LTE网络设备将承担该NR小区的覆盖区域以及业务量。之后,相邻NR/LTE网络设备会根据自己的业务量、测量报告等信息确定是否请求已进入节能状态的NR小区恢复正常工作,例如,当自己的业务量达到一定门限时,触发请求进入节能状态的NR小区恢复正常工作。当NR小区恢复正常工作时,一些之前切换到相邻NR/LTE小区的终端设备可能会切换回该NR小区。
发明人发现,在上述方案中,当NR小区动态地多次进入节能状态,终端设备也将频繁切换出NR小区或频繁小区重选,这样会影响用户体验。另外,节能状态小区的终端设备迁移到相邻小区势必增加相邻小区的负载水平,影响相邻小区终端设备的服务质量。
针对上述问题的至少之一,本申请实施例提供一种信息处理方法、信息收发方法和装置。
根据本申请实施例的一方面,提供一种信息收发装置,配置于第一小区所属的第一网络设备,所述装置包括:
第一发送单元,向第二网络设备发送第三指示信息,所述第三指示信息用于指示所述第一网络设备停止或恢复发送本应发送的所述第一小区的第一同步信号块,或用于指示所述第一网络设备停止或恢复发送本应发送的所述第一同步信号块的承载主信息块(MIB)的物理广播信道(PBCH)。
根据本申请实施例的一方面,提供一种信息收发装置,配置于第二网络设备,所述装置包括:
第一接收单元,其接收第一网络设备发送的第三指示信息,所述第三指示信息用于指示所述第一网络设备停止或恢复发送本应发送的所述第一小区的第一同步信号块,或用于指示所述第一网络设备停止或恢复发送本应发送的所述第一同步信号块的承载主信息块(MIB)的物理广播信道(PBCH)。
根据本申请实施例的另一方面,提供一种信息处理装置,配置于终端设备,所述装置包括:
第二接收单元,其接收网络侧设备发送的发现参考信号;
第一处理单元,其根据所述发现参考信号对所述第一小区参考信号进行下行接收或确定所述第一小区的测量结果;
其中,所述发现参考信号为所述第一小区的第一同步信号块中包含的同步参考信号(SS)。
本申请实施例的有益效果之一在于:终端设备可以根据发现参考信号对节能小区的参考信号进行下行接收或者确定节能小区的测量结果,并且终端设备可以在节能小区进行随机接入、RLM/BFD/RRM测量、小区选择或重选测量,这样,终端设备不必切换到其他小区,原本驻留在节能小区的终端设备也不必进行小区重选,可以避免将节能状态小区的终端设备迁移到相邻小区产生业务中断和增加相邻小区的负载水平,保证了小区进入节能状态时不降低用户体验。
本申请实施例的有益效果之一在于:网络设备间可以交互是否停止发送SSB的指示信息,使节能小区的邻基站将交互的信息通过系统信息广播给终端设备,从而使得终端设备能够检测节能小区,使用发现参考信号或第二小区的参考信号对节能小区进行RRM测量。

下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本申请实施例进行说明。
第一方面的实施例
本申请实施例提供一种信息处理方法,从终端设备侧进行说明。
图3是本申请实施例的信息处理方法的一示意图,应用于终端设备,如图3所示,该方法包括
301,终端设备接收网络侧设备发送的发现参考信号;
302,所述终端设备根据所述发现参考信号对第一小区参考信号进行下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果;
其中,所述发现参考信号为所述第一小区的第一同步信号块中包含的同步参考信号(SS)。
值得注意的是,以上附图3仅示意性地对本申请实施例进行了说明,但本申请不限于此。例如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。
在一些实施例中,在没有业务时,网络侧可以停止发送该终端设备的一个或多个服务小区的同步信号块或者同步信号块的承载主信息块(MIB)的物理广播信道(PBCH),或延长同步信号块的发送周期(例如从20ms延长至320ms),或延长同步信号块的PBCH的发送周期,以下停止发送同步块也可以指延长同步信号块的周期,停止发送PBCH也可以指延长PBCH的周期。以下第一小区(或称为第一载波)的同步信号块称为第一同步信号块,该第一小区即为停止发送同步信号块或者同步信号块的承载主信息块(MIB)的物理广播信道(PBCH)的服务小区,该第一小区可以是终端设备的特殊小区(例如主小区PCell或主辅小区PSCell),也可以是非特殊小区(例如SCell),例如,所述第一小区为所述终端设备在连接状态时的特殊小区(SpCell),或为所述终端设备在空闲或去激活状态时所选择或重选的小区;本申请实施例并不以此作为限制,由此,可以节省网络侧的能耗开销,因此,该第一小区也可以称为节能小区(或SSB-less小区)。该同步信号块(也叫作同步信号和PBCH块,Synchronization Signal and PBCH block,简称SSB)可以包括主同步信号(Primary Synchronization Signal,PSS),辅同步信号(Secondary Synchronization Signal,SSS),和/或物理层广播信道(Physical Broadcast Channel,PBCH)。
在一些实施例中,第二小区(或称为第二载波)的同步信号块称为第二同步信号块,该第二小区可以是终端设备的特殊小区(例如主小区PCell或主辅小区PSCell),也可以是非特殊小区(例如SCell),该第二小区也可以称为参考小区或锚点小区,本 申请实施例并不以此作为限制,在本申请实施例中,该第一小区的第一SSB与相同索引的第二小区的第二SSB之间没有QCL关系,且由于第一SSB停止发送了,因此,终端设备无法根据第一SSB或第二SSB对第一小区参考信号进行下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果。
在一些实施例中,为了对第一小区参考信号进行下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果,网络侧设备可以发送发现参考信号,该发现参考信号为第一小区的第一SSB中包含的同步参考信号(SS),包括PSS和/或SSS。例如,网络侧设备可以停止发送第一SSB,但单独发送该发现参考信号;或者,网络设备可以停止发送第一SSB的承载主信息块(MIB)的物理广播信道(PBCH),但继续发送第一SSB中的同步参考信号。
在一些实施例中,所述第一小区的所述第一同步信号块与该发现参考信号是准共址QCL关系,该QCL关系的类型包括QCL类型C和QCL类型D,有准共址关系的第一同步信号块和该发现参考信号具有相同索引。换句话说,第一SSB与相同索引的发现参考信号是准共址关系,该准共址关系可以由第二指示信息指示,关于该指示方式将在后述进行说明。
在一些实施例中,在所述终端设备无法成功接收网络侧设备发送的所述第一同步信号块(第一小区的第一SSB停止发送)或者无法成功接收到第一同步信号块的PBCH时,该发现参考信号可以为第一小区提供下行信道估计信息,或者说,终端设备根据发现参考信号对第一小区参考信号进行下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果,并且终端设备可以在第一小区进行随机接入、基于CSI-RS或SSB的RLM/BFD/RRM、小区选择或重选测量。这样,终端设备不必切换到其他小区,原本驻留在第一小区的终端设备也不必进行小区重选,可以避免将节能状态小区的终端设备迁移到相邻小区产生业务中断和增加相邻小区的负载水平,保证了小区进入节能状态时不降低用户体验。
在一些实施例中,网络侧设备可以通过发送第一指示信息指示网络侧设备停止发送本应发送的第一小区的第一SSB,或者指示网络侧设备停止发送本应发送的第一SSB的承载MIB的PBCH。在不发送第一指示信息时,表示实际应该发送的SSB都正常发送。,该第一指示信息可以用一位或多位比特表示,还用于指示停止发送的本应发送的第一同步信号的索引或停止发送本应发送的承载MIB的PBCH的所述第一 同步信号块的索引。第一小区的网络设备可以在停止发送第一SSB和系统信息之前或停止发送所述第一同步信号块的承载主信息块(MIB)的物理广播信道(PBCH)和系统信息之前,发送该第一指示信息,该第一指示信息可以由系统信息或专用RRC消息承载。
例如,该第一指示信息可以是系统信息或专用RRC消息中新增的信息元,在该系统信息或专用RRC信令中不包括该新增的信息元时,表示该第一小区本应发送的SSB都正常发送,在该系统信息或专用RRC信令中包括该新增的信息元时,表示本应发送的该第一小区的第一SSB或第一SSB的承载MIB的PBCH停止发送,该信息元的值用于指示停止发送的第一SSB的索引。例如,该信息元可以用比特位图表示,该比特位图的每一个比特对应一个SSB的索引,如果该比特的值为1表示该索引的SSB正常发送,比特的值为0表示该索引的SSB停止发送,反之亦可;或者,该信息元也可以用N位比特的值来表示停止发送的SSB索引值(SSB index),本申请实施例并不以此作为限制。
在一些实施例中,网络侧设备可以通过发送第二指示信息指示终端设备能够通过发现参考信号对所述第一小区参考信号进行下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果。在终端设备接收到第二指示信息时,表示终端设备能通过发现参考信号对所述第一小区参考信号进行下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果。在终端设备未接收到第二指示信息时,表示终端设备不能够通过所述发现参考信号对所述第一小区参考信号进行下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果。如果终端设备需要对所述第一小区参考信号进行下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果,则需要发送唤醒信号,使得第一SSB恢复发送,关于唤醒信号的相关实施例将在第二方面的实施例进行说明。
或者,在一些实施例中,该第二指示信息用于指示所述第一同步信号块与所述发现参考信号是准共址关系,以便于终端设备通过该发现参考信号对第一小区参考信号进行下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果。
在一些实施例中第一小区的网络设备可以在停止发送第一SSB或停止发送第一SSB的承载MIB的PBCH和系统信息之前,发送给第二指示信息,该第二指示信息可以由系统信息或专用RRC消息承载。
例如,该第二指示信息可以是系统信息或专用RRC消息中新增的信息元,在该系统信息或专用RRC信令中不包括该信息元时,表示终端设备不能通过发现参考信 号对所述第一小区参考信号进行下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果。在该系统信息或专用RRC信令中包括该信息元时,表示终端设备能通过发现参考信号对所述第一小区参考信号进行下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果。
例如,该新增信息元可以为准共址标识信息元,包含发现参考信号的标识信息,用于指示所述第一小区的第一同步信号块与所述发现参考信号是准共址关系。在该系统信息或专用RRC信令中包括该信息元时,表示终端设备可以通过该发现参考信号对所述第一小区参考信号进行下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果。
在一些实施例中,所述第二指示信息还包括所述发现参考信号的配置信息,所述发现参考信号的配置信息包括发现参考信号的中心频点、子载波间隔、发送周期、一个发送周期内发送的参考信号的索引中的至少一种。也就是说,网络设备在发送发现参考信号前,还可以发送该发现参考信号的配置信息,终端设备根据该配置信息在对应的资源上接收发现参考信号。
例如,该新增信息元可以为准共址标识信息元,包含发现参考信号的配置信息,用于指示所述第一小区的第一同步信号块与所述发现参考信号是准共址关系。在该系统信息或专用RRC信令中包括该信息元时,表示终端设备可以通过该发现参考信号对所述第一小区参考信号进行下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果。
可选的,在第二指示信息指示的发现参考信号的配置信息是通过第二小区或第一小区的邻小区的系统信息广播时,该发现参考信号的配置信息还可以包括所述第一小区与所述第二小区的同步定时偏移量,或者包括所述第一小区与邻小区的同步定时偏移量,以半帧为单位。
需要说明的是,前述发送/停止发送第一小区的第一SSB或其承载MIB的PBCH的网络侧设备和发送发现参考信号的网络侧设备可以是相同或不同的网络设备。前述发送第一指示信息和第二指示信息以及接收唤醒信号的网络侧设备可以和前述发送发现参考信号的网络侧设备是相同或不同的网络设备。
另外,前述发送发现参考信号的网络侧设备还可以与相邻网络设备交互上述第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息,该相邻网络设备还可以通过系统信息或专用RRC消息将该第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息发送给邻小区的终端设备或者接收发现参考信号的终端设备。本申请实施例并不以此作为限制,具体将在第五方面的实施例进行说明。
在一些实施例中,如前所述,终端设备在接收到第二指示信息时,可以根据所述发现参考信号对第一小区参考信号进行下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果,根据该测量结果在第一小区上进行随机接入,执行RLM/BFD/RRM测量、小区选择和/或重选测量等,也就是说,在终端设备需要在第一小区上进行随机接入,执行RLM/BFD/RRM测量、小区选择和/或重选测量时,可以根据发现参考信号对第一小区参考信号进行下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果。
在一些实施例中,在302中,终端设备可以根据发现参考信号确定第一小区的测量结果,该测量结果包括:接收功率(RSRP)、接收质量(RSRQ)、信干比(SINR)中的一种。其中,所述终端设备根据对所述发现参考信号进行测量的测量结果,在所述第一小区进行随机接入、基于SSB的无线链路监测(RLM)、基于SSB的波束失败检测(BFD)、基于SSB的无线资源管理(RRM)测量、小区选择和/或重选测量。
在一些实施例中,在302中,终端设备可以根据该发现参考信号对第一小区参考信号进行下行接收,该第一小区参考信号包括:CSI-RS,该CSI-RS与第一SSB是QCL关系,即所述终端设备根据所述发现参考信号对与所述第一同步信号块是准共址关系的CSI-RS进行下行接收,并基于接收的CSI-RS执行RLM/BFD/RRM测量,或基于非竞争的随机接入。
一方面,所述终端设备接收与所述第一同步信号块是准共址关系的CSI-RS时,将接收所述发现参考信号的下行接收参数作为接收所述与所述第一同步信号块是准共址关系的CSI-RS的下行接收参数。其中,该下行接收参数包括多普勒偏移、多普勒扩展、平均时延、时延扩展、空间接收参数。
一方面,所述终端设备确定所述CSI-RS与所述第一小区的同步信号块的准共址关系和所述CSI-RS与所述发现参考信号的准共址关系相同,并根据接收所述发现参考信号的下行接收参数接收所述CSI-RS。其中,准共址关系相同是指CSI-RS与第一SSB具有准共址关系,所述发现参考信号与第一SSB具有准共址关系,所述CSI-RS与所述发现参考信号也具有准共址关系。
由此,终端设备可以基于该CSI-RS进行RLM/BFD/RRM测量,或非竞争的随机接入。
由上述实施例可知,终端设备可以根据发现参考信号对节能小区的参考信号进行下行接收或者确定节能小区的测量结果,并且终端设备可以在节能小区进行随机接入、 RLM/BFD/RRM测量、小区选择或重选测量,这样,终端设备不必切换到其他小区,原本驻留在节能小区的终端设备也不必进行小区重选,可以避免将节能状态小区的终端设备迁移到相邻小区产生业务中断和增加相邻小区的负载水平,保证了小区进入节能状态时不降低用户体验。
第二方面的实施例
本申请实施例提供一种信息发送方法。从终端设备侧说明,其中与第一方面的实施例相同的内容不再重复说明。
图4是本申请实施例中信息发送方法一示意图,如图4所示,该方法包括:
401,在所述终端设备在第一小区发起随机接入或基于所述第一小区的第一同步信号块进行RLM/BFD/RRM测量或进行小区选择或重选的测量,且所述终端设备无法成功接收或测量所述第一同步信号块时,向网络侧设备发送第一唤醒信号,所述第一唤醒信号用于指示网络侧设备恢复发送所述第一小区的第一同步信号块或恢复发送第一同步信号块的承载MIB的PBCH;
在一些实施例中,在401中,在所述终端设备没有接收到网络侧设备发送的第二指示信息且在所述终端设备在第一小区发起随机接入或基于所述第一小区的第一同步信号块进行RLM/BFD/RRM测量或小区选择或重选到所述第一小区时,向网络侧设备发送所述第一唤醒信号,例如,用指定的PRACH机会或随机接入前导码承载;关于第二指示信息的实施方式可以参考第一方面的实施例,此处不再赘述。
也就是说,终端设备没有接收到第二指示信息,表示终端设备不能根据发现参考信号进行第一小区参考信号的下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果,如果终端设备需要发起随机接入或基于所述第一小区的第一同步信号块进行RLM/BFD/RRM测量或小区选择或重选到所述第一小区,则需要发送第一唤醒信号,使得第一小区恢复SSB的发送或恢复发送第一同步信号块的承载MIB的PBCH的发送。
在一些实施例中,该方法还可以包括:在所述终端设备无法成功接收或测量所述第二小区的第二同步信号块时,所述终端设备向网络侧设备发送第二唤醒信号,所述第二唤醒信号用于指示网络侧设备恢复发送所述第二小区的第二同步信号块或恢复发送第二同步信号块的承载MIB的PBCH。
其中,所述第一小区的第一同步信号块与所述第二小区的第二同步信号块是准共 址(QCL)关系。
在一些实施例中,该第一小区、第二小区、第一SSB和第二SSB的实施方式请参考第一方面的实施例,此处不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,该方法还可以包括:终端设备接收第一指示信息,关于该第一指示信息的实施方式请参考第一方面的实施例,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,第一、第二唤醒信号的发送对象、以及发送第一指示信息、第二指示信息的执行主体与停止发送第一SSB的网络设备,发送第二SSB的网络设备相同或不同,与发送发现参考信号的网络设备相同或不同。
在一些实施例中,该方法还可以包括:
402,所述终端设备接收网络侧设备恢复发送的所述第一同步信号块或恢复发送的第一同步信号块的承载MIB的PBCH;
403,根据所述第一同步信号块进行随机接入或基于所述第一小区的第一同步信号块进行RLM/BFD/RRM测量或小区选择或重选到所述第一小区。
关于402-403的实施方式可以参考现有技术,此处不再赘述。
另外,如果第二小区也不发送第二SSB或承载MIB的PBCH,终端设备也可以接收网络侧设备恢复发送的第二同步信号块或恢复发送第二同步信号块的承载MIB的PBCH。
由上述实施例可知,终端设备可以发送唤醒信号(Wake-Up signal),使停止发送SSB的节能小区恢复SSB或恢复第一SSB的承载MIB的PBCH的发送,并基于恢复发送的SSB在节能小区进行随机接入、RLM/BFD/RRM测量、小区选择或重选等,这样,终端设备不必切换到其他小区,原本驻留在节能小区的终端设备也不必进行小区重选,可以避免将节能状态小区的终端设备迁移到相邻小区产生业务中断和增加相邻小区的负载水平。
第三方面的实施例
本申请实施例提供一种信息发送方法。该方法是对应第一和第二方面的实施例的方法的网络侧设备的处理,其中与第一方面和第二方面的实施例相同的内容不再重复说明。
图5是本申请实施例的信息发送方法的一示意图,应用于第一小区所属的第一网 络设备,如图5所示,该方法包括:
501,所述第一网络设备停止向终端设备发送本应发送的第一小区的第一同步信号块的承载主信息块(MIB)的物理广播信道(PBCH),或者停止向终端设备发送本应发送的第一小区的第一同步信号块;所述第一网络设备向所述终端设备发送发现参考信号;
其中,所述发现参考信号为所述第一小区的第一同步信号块中包含的同步参考信号(SS)。
在一些实施例中,该发现参考信号,第一小区、第二小区、第一SSB和第二SSB的实施方式请参考第一方面的实施例,此处不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,该方法还可以包括:该第一网络设备向所述终端设备发送第一指示信息,关于该第一指示信息的实施方式可以参考第一方面的实施例,此处不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,该第一网络设备向所述终端设备发送第二指示信息,关于该第二指示信息的实施方式可以参考第一方面的实施例,此处不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,在不发送第二指示信息的情况下,即终端设备不能通过发现参考信号进行第一小区参考信号的下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果,该方法还可以包括:
502,该第一网络设备接收所述终端设备发送的第一唤醒信号,该第一唤醒信号可以参考第二方面的实施例,此处不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,该方法还包括:
503,该第一网络设备向终端设备恢复发送所述第一小区的第一同步信号块或第一SSB的承载MIB的PBCH。
在一些实施例中,所述网络侧设备在发送RRC重配置消息之前恢复发送所述第一小区的第一同步信号块;所述RRC重配置消息是用于主小区组(MCG)或辅小区组(SCG)重新同步(ReSynchronization)的RRC重配置消息。由于用于MCG/SCG重新同步(ReSynchronization)的RRC重配置消息指示的非竞争随机接入是网络侧设备发起的,该用于MCG/SCG重新同步(ReSynchronization)的非竞争随机接入不能基于CSI-RS,只能基于SSB,因此,网络设备需要在发送该RRC重配置消息之前恢复发送第一SSB,终端设备才可以基于恢复发送的第一SSB完成用于MCG/SCG 重新同步(ReSynchronization)的RRC重配置消息指示的非竞争随机接入。
在第二小区也由第一网络设备控制时,该第一网络设备还可以停止向终端设备发送第二小区的第二同步信号块的承载主信息块(MIB)的物理广播信道(PBCH),或者停止向终端设备发送第二小区的第二同步信号块,以及接收第二唤醒信号向终端设备恢复发送所述第二小区的第二同步信号块或第二SSB的承载MIB的PBCH,此处不再一一赘述。
以上各个实施方式仅对本申请实施例进行了示例性说明,但本申请不限于此,还可以在以上各个实施方式的基础上进行适当的变型。例如,可以单独使用上述各个实施方式,也可以将以上各个实施方式中的一种或多种结合起来。
如前所述,如果第一小区的第一SSB和第二小区的参考信号(包括第二SSB和CSI-RS)之间不具有QCL关系,网络设备可以向终端设备发送发现参考信号,第一小区的终端设备根据该发现参考信号对所述第一小区参考信号进行下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果;如果第一小区的第一SSB和第二小区的参考信号(包括第二SSB和CSI-RS)之间具有QCL关系,第一小区的终端设备就可以根据该第二小区的参考信号对所述第一小区参考信号进行下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果。
在网络设备之间,也可以交互是否停止发送SSB的指示信息等,节能小区的邻基站将交互的信息通过系统信息广播给终端设备,从而使得邻小区终端设备也能够检测节能小区,使用发现参考信号或第二小区的参考信号对节能小区进行RRM测量。
以上实施例中,对终端设备和网络设备之间的信息交互(通过空口)以及动作进行了说明,以下结合第四和第五方面的实施例对网络设备之间的信息交互(通过Xn接口)以及动作进行说明。
第四方面的实施例
本申请实施例提供一种信息收发方法。从第一小区所属的第一网络设备侧说明。
图6是本申请实施例中信息收发方法示意图,如图6所示,该方法包括:
601,所述第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送第三指示信息,所述第三指示信息用于指示所述第一网络设备停止或恢复发送本应发送的所述第一小区的第一同步信号块,或用于指示所述第一网络设备停止或恢复发送本应发送的所述第一同步信号块 的承载主信息块(MIB)的物理广播信道(PBCH)(以下简称第一SSB的PBCH)。
在一些实施例中,该第一网络设备可以通过第三指示信息告知第二网络设备其控制的小区是否停止发送第一SSB或第一SSB的PBCH,或者是否恢复发送第一SSB或第一SSB的PBCH,或者是否由停止发送变更为恢复发送第一SSB或第一SSB的PBCH,或者是否由发送变更为停止发送第一SSB或第一SSB的PBCH。
在一些实施例中,该第三指示信息可以重用现有服务小区信息域(Served Cell Information NR)中的信息元隐式地进行指示。例如,可以重用现有的用于指示实际发送的SSB位置的信息元(ssb-PositionsInBurst)隐式地进行指示,在该信息元包含的比特位图中每个比特对应一个SSB(SSB index),如果一个比特位上的比特值为0,指示停止发送该比特对应的SSB或该SSB的PBCH,如果第一小区停止发送所有SSB或所有SSB的PBCH,则该比特位图为全零,如果一个比特位上的比特值为1,指示正常发送该比特对应的SSB或该SSB的PBCH,如果第一小区发送所有SSB或所有SSB的PBCH都正常发送,则该比特位图为全为1。
在一些实施例中,该第三指示信息可以是服务小区信息域中新增的信息元显式地进行指示。例如,在该新增的信息元中,该新增的信息元的比特数可以与信息元(ssb-PositionsInBurst)的比特数相同,该新增的信息元包含的比特位图中每个比特对应一个SSB(SSB index)。如果一个比特位上的比特值为0,指示停止发送该比特对应的本应发送的SSB或该SSB的PBCH,如果第一小区停止发送所有实际应该发送的SSB或所有SSB的PBCH,则该比特位图为全零。如果一个比特位上的比特值为1,指示正常发送该比特对应的SSB或该SSB的PBCH,如果第一小区发送所有SSB或所有SSB的PBCH都正常发送,则该比特位图为全1。可选的,该新增的信息元中的比特位只在信息元(ssb-PositionsInBurst)中对应比特位为1时(1表示实际应发送)才生效,也就是说,如果信息元(ssb-PositionsInBurst)为001,分别对应SSB index 0,1,2,新增的信息元为101,分别对应SSB index 0,1,2,那么SSB index 0在信息元(ssb-PositionsInBurst)为0,则在新增信息元中,SSB index 0对应的比特值1是无效的,只有SSB index 2对应的比特值才有效。或者,该新增的信息元的比特数可以与信息元(ssb-PositionsInBurst)中比特值为1的比特位的数量相同,也就是说,新增的信息元的每个比特依次对应信息元(ssb-PositionsInBurst)中对应比特位为1的SSB index,如果比特位上的比特值为0,指示停止发送该比特对应的本应 发送的SSB或该SSB的PBCH,如果一个比特位上的比特值为1,指示正常发送该比特对应的SSB或该SSB的PBCH。
在一些实施例中,如果第一小区的第一SSB和第二小区的参考信号之间具有QCL关系,该方法还可以包括:
602,所述第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送第四指示信息,所述第四指示信息用于指示所述第一小区对应的第二小区,或用于指示所述第一小区的第一同步信号块与所述第二小区的第二同步信号块是准共址关系,以使终端设备通过所述第二小区的参考信号对所述第一小区参考信号进行下行接收或确定第一小区的测量结果,其中,第二小区的参考信号和第一小区的参考信号包括同步信号块或CSI-RS。
由此,邻小区的终端设备可以通过第二小区的参考信号进行第一小区的下行同步和下行信道估计,或者进行第一小区的RRM测量。
在一些实施例中,该第四指示信息重用现有服务小区信息域(Served Cell Information NR)中的信息元进行指示,例如,可以重用现有的用于传递测量定时辅助信息的测量定时配置(Measurement Timing Configuration)中的测量定时域隐式地进行指示,该测量定时域使用使用抽象语法标记ASN.1数据格式可以表示为:
Figure PCTCN2022110719-appb-000001
其中,physCellId可以指示第二小区,表示第二小区的PCI,carrierFreq可以指示第二小区的第二SSB的绝对频点,以及ssb-MeasurementTimingConfiguration可以指示为用于搜索第二小区的第二SSB的测量定时信息。
在一些实施例中,可以在第一小区的服务小区信息或者在第二小区的服务小区中新增信息元来指示该第二小区,例如,在第一小区的服务小区信息中,新增信息元指 示第二小区的标识(NCGI或PCI),可选的,还可以指示测量定时信息。或者,在第二小区的服务小区信息中新增信息元,指示该小区可以作为哪些第一小区的第二小区。
例如,该信息元可以为准共址小区标识信息元,表示第二小区的标识,用于指示所述第一小区的第一同步信号块与所述第二小区的第二同步信号块是准共址关系。例如,在第一小区的服务小区信息中,新增信息元指示第二小区的标识(NCGI或PCI),则表示第一小区的第一SSB与该标识的第二小区的第二SSB(与第一SSB相同索引)是准共址关系。
