Description

传输控制信息的方法和通信装置
本申请要求于2022年8月11日提交中国专利局、申请号为202210961974.0、申请名称为“传输控制信息的方法和通信装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,并且更具体地,涉及一种传输控制信息的方法和通信装置。
背景技术
目前,终端设备与终端设备之间的传输可以称为侧行链路(sidelink,SL)传输。当前sidelink通信资源调度以子信道为单位,且物理sidelink控制信道(Physical Sidelink Control Channel,PSCCH)和物理sidelink共享信道(Physical Sidelink Shared Channel,PSSCH)的频域起始(或者说最低)资源块(Resource block,RB)索引是相同的。
在定位场景下,为了提高定位性能,不同的终端设备之间需要考虑资源相互复用(如,时分、频分或者梳分复用),以期尽可能的占满系统带宽。如果PSCCH仍然与PSSCH的频域最低RB索引相同,那么当多个终端设备在同一个时隙内发送定位参考信号的时候,不同终端设备的PSCCH承载的控制信息会相互冲突。因此,如何避免不同终端设备的PSCCH承载的控制信息成为亟待解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种传输控制信息的方法,以期降低不同终端设备的PSCCH承载的控制信息发生冲突的概率。
第一方面,提供了一种传输控制信息的方法。该方法可以由第一终端设备执行,也可以由第一终端设备的组成部件(例如芯片或者电路)执行,本申请对此不作限定。为了便于描述,下面以第一终端执行为例进行说明。
该传输控制信息的方法包括:第一终端设备根据配置的参考信号资源的个数确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置,所述控制信道用于承载控制信息,所述配置的参考信号资源包括多个参考信号资源;该第一终端设备根据所述频域资源的起始位置在所述控制信道上发送所述控制信息。
其中,第一终端设备可以根据所述频域资源的起始位置在所述控制信道上向第二终端设备发送所述控制信息。本申请中第二终端设备包括路边单元或SL场景下其他能够实现接收并解调第一终端设备发送的控制信息的功能的设备。
第二方面,提供了一种传输控制信息的方法。该方法可以由第二终端设备执行,也可以由第二终端设备的组成部件(例如芯片或者电路)执行,本申请对此不作限定。为了便于描述,下面以第二终端设备执行为例进行说明。
该传输控制信息的方法包括:第二终端设备根据配置的参考信号资源的个数确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置,所述控制信道用于承载控制信息,所述配置的参考信号资源包括多个参考信号资源;第二终端设备根据所述频域资源的起始位置在所述控制信道上接收所述控制信息。
示例性地,终端设备(第一终端设备或第二终端设备)根据配置的参考信号资源的个数确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置,可以理解为:终端设备确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置,该控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置与配置的参考信号资源的个数相关。
上述的配置的参考信号资源的个数可以是预配置的还可以是配置的,该配置的参考信号资源可以为一个时隙或多个时隙中配置的参考信号资源。
具体地,多个参考信号资源分别用于发送多个参考信号,参考信号和参考信号资源一一对应。例如,第一终端设备占用多个参考信号资源中的一个参考信号资源发送第一参考信号,该第一参考信号为多个参考信号中待第一终端设备发送的参考信号。
基于上述技术方案,第一终端设备可以根据配置的参考信号资源的个数确定控制信道(如,PSCCH) 占用的频域资源的起始位置,也就是说控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置不用参考PSSCH与PSCCH的复用的配置方式(如,起始位置与PSSCH一致),而是有了不同的确定方式。对于定位参考信号和控制信息,PSCCH的起始位置可以与侧行链路定位参考信号(Sidelink-Positioning reference signals,SL-PRS)不一致,从而提升PSCCH资源分配的灵活性以及降低终端间的冲突和碰撞,达到提升定位可用性的概率等。
在第一方面或第二方面的某些实现方式中,将所述配置的参考信号资源所在的资源池的带宽的多个子带中的一个子带的起始位置作为所述频域资源的起始位置,所述多个子带的个数与所述配置的参考信号资源的个数相关,其中,所述子带的起始位置包括以下任一项:起始资源块索引、或起始子信道索引、起始频点索引、或起始子载波索引。
示例性地,在第一方面或第二方面的某些实现方式中,终端设备(第一终端设备或第二终端设备)根据配置的参考信号资源的个数确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置,包括:终端设备根据配置的参考信号资源的个数,将所述配置的参考信号资源所在的资源池的带宽划分为多个子带,多个子带的个数与所述配置的参考信号资源的个数相关,其中,所述多个子带中的一个子带的起始位置为所述第一频域资源的起始位置,所述资源池为包括所述配置的参考信号资源的资源池,所述子带的起始位置包括以下任一项:起始资源块索引、或起始子信道索引、起始频点索引、或起始子载波索引。
上述多个子带的个数与所述配置的参考信号资源的个数相关可以是多个子带的个数与所述配置的参考信号资源的个数相等。
另外,在所述配置的参考信号资源所在的资源池的带宽为配置的参考信号资源的个数的整数倍的情况下,终端设备根据配置的参考信号资源的个数,将所述配置的参考信号资源所在的资源池的带宽划分为多个子带,包括:终端设备根据配置的参考信号资源的个数,将所述配置的参考信号资源所在的资源池的带宽等分为多个子带。
基于上述技术方案,终端设备可以将所述配置的参考信号资源所在的资源池的带宽的多个子带中的一个子带的起始位置作为所述频域资源的起始位置,而不同的终端设备将同一个子带的起始位置作为自身对应的控制信道的频域资源的起始位置的概率较低,也就是说可以降低不同终端设备之间在控制信道上发送控制信息发生冲突的概率。
在第一方面或第二方面的某些实现方式中,所述多个子带中各个子带的带宽相同。
在第一方面或第二方面的某些实现方式中,所述配置的参考信号资源的个数、所述频域资源的起始位置和所述频域资源的索引满足以下关系:

在第二方面的某些实现方式中,所述第二终端设备根据所述频域资源的起始位置在所述控制信道上接收所述控制信息,包括:第二终端设备根据所述第一索引对应的子带的起始位置在所述控制信道上接收所述控制信息。
具体地,第一索引为多个参考信号资源分别对应的多个索引中的一个。
基于上述技术方案,终端设备根据终端设备所占用的参考信号资源确定控制信道的频域资源的起始位置,而不同的终端设备所占用的参考信号资源不同,从而不同的终端设备确定的控制信道的频域资源的起始位置不同,且不同的终端设备确定的控制信道的带宽不大于子带的带宽,或者说不同的终端设备确定的控制信道的带宽不大于两个起始位置之间的间隔,可以避免不同终端设备之间在控制信道上发送控制信息发生冲突。
在第一方面或第二方面的某些实现方式中,所述多个参考信号资源中每个参考信号资源的索引由所述多个参考信号资源的标识确定,所述多个子带中每个子带的索引由所述多个子带中每个子带对应的频域位置确定。

其中,参考信号资源的标识用于标识该参考信号资源,该多个参考信号资源的标识可以为大小不同的多个标识,而参考信号资源的索引可以理解为对多个参考信号资源重新编码。
在第一方面或第二方面的某些实现方式中,在所述索引最小值为0的情况下,所述配置的参考信号资源的个数、所述频域资源起始位置和所述频域资源的索引满足以下关系:
或者,

基于上述技术方案,通过对多个时隙内的控制信道进行联合设计,可以有效降低控制信道的资源开销,例如,对两个时隙内的控制信道进行联合设计,每个时隙控制信道占用3个符号,则开销为3/14,两个时隙联合编码,PSCCH的开销为3/28,降低一倍。从而提升参考信号的资源利用率以及参考信号或者终端设备的容量。
在第一方面或第二方面的某些实现方式中,所述多个参考信号资源分别用于发送多个参考信号,所述多个参考信号之间通过以下至少一种复用方式进行资源复用:频分复用、时分复用、或梳分复用。

基于上述技术方案,第一终端设备根据参考信号的资源的配置信息来确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置,由于不同的终端设备的参考信号的资源的配置信息往往不同,从而不同的终端设备对应不同的频域资源的起始位置,可以降低不同终端设备之间在控制信道上发送控制信息发生冲突的概率。

在第三方面的某些实现方式中,所述配置信息包括所述参考信号的资源对应的梳分数和频域偏移值。

具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:第五代(5th generation,5G)系统或NR,无线保真(wireless fidelity,Wi-Fi)系统,第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)相关的蜂窝系统,支持多种无线技术融合的通信系统,或者是面向未来的演进系统等,不予限制。
随着通信技术的发展,移动通信系统将不仅支持传统的通信,还将支持例如,设备到设备(device to device,D2D)通信,机器到机器(machine to machine,M2M)通信,机器类型通信(machine type communication,MTC),车辆与万物(vehicle to everything,V2X)通信(也可以称为车辆网通信),例如,车辆与车辆(vehicle to vehicle,V2V)通信(也可以称为车到车通信)、车辆与基础设施(vehicle to infrastructure,V2I)通信(也可以称为车到基础设施通信),车辆与行人(vehicle to pedestrian,V2P)通信(也可以称为车到人通信),车辆与网络(vehicle to network,V2N)通信(也可以称为车到网络通信)。
图1是适用于本申请实施例的一种通信系统的架构的示意图。
本申请实施例适用的通信系统主要包括终端设备,例如图1所示的终端设备121与终端设备122,以及网络设备,例如图1所示的网络设备110。另外,该通信系统主要包括两种通信接口,例如分别为终端设备121与网络设备110之间的通信接口(Uu口),和终端设备121与终端设备122之间的通信接口(基于邻近的服务通信5(proximity-based services communication 5,PC5)口),其中Uu口用于终端设备与网络设备之间的通信,PC5口用于终端设备与终端设备之间的侧行链路通信。Uu口上终端设备发送数据给网络设备的链路称为上行链路(uplink),而终端设备接收网络设备发送的数据的链路称为下行链路(downlink)。PC5口上的终端设备和终端设备之间传输数据的链路称为侧行链路(sidelink)或直通链路。侧行链路一般用于设备到设备(device to device,D2D)等可以在设备间进行直联通信的场景,在该场景中,设备之间的数据传输不需要经过网络设备。车联网(vehicle to everything,V2X)通信可以看成是D2D通信的一种情形。
在Uu口上,终端设备和网络设备之间通过无线承载来传输数据和无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令中的一项或多项。其中,用于传输数据的无线承载称为数据无线承载(data radio bearer,DRB),用于传输RRC信令的承载称为信令无线承载(signaling radio bearer,SRB)。一个无线承载包括分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)实体和无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)承载。其中,一个RLC承载包括一个RLC实体和对应的逻辑信道(Logical Channel,LCH)。无线承载的配置即为该无线承载的PDCP实体,RLC实体和逻辑信道的配置。无线承载的配置需要能够保证通过该无线承载传输的业务的服务质量(quality of service,QoS)要求。在Uu口,无线承载的配置由网络设备为终端设备配置。
在PC5口上,终端设备和终端设备之间也通过无线承载来传输数据和RRC信令中的一项或多项。PC5口上的无线承载可以称为侧行链路无线承载(sidelink radio bearer,SL RB)。在长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)V2X系统中,PC5口上的无线承载分别由发送端终端设备和接收端终端设备自己建立,无线承载的配置通过标准预定义或者由发送端终端设备和接收端终端设备自己确定。
在未来通信中,Uu口或PC5口这些接口的名称可以不变,或者也可以用其它名称代替,本申请对此不作限定。
本申请实施例中的终端设备可以简称为终端。终端设备可以是一种具有无线收发功能的设备。终端设备可以是移动的,或固定的。终端设备可以部署在陆地上,包括室内或室外,手持或车载;也可以部署在水面上(如轮船等);还可以部署在空中(例如飞机、气球和卫星上等)。所述终端设备可以包括手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality, VR)终端设备、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)终端设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端设备、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端设备、远程医疗(remote medical)中的无线终端设备、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端设备、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端设备、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端设备、和/或智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端设备。终端设备还可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(session initiation protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)站、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备或计算设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备,第五代(the 5th generation,5G)网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公用陆地移动通信网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)中的终端设备等。终端设备有时也可以称为用户设备(user equipment,UE)。可选的,终端设备可以与不同技术的多个接入网设备进行通信,例如,终端设备可以与支持LTE的接入网设备通信,也可以与支持5G的接入网设备通信,又可以与支持LTE的接入网设备以及支持5G的接入网设备的双连接。本申请并不限定。
本申请中,用于实现终端设备的功能的装置可以是终端设备;也可以是能够支持终端设备实现该功能的装置,例如芯片系统、硬件电路、软件模块、或硬件电路加软件模块,该装置可以被安装在终端设备中或可以与终端设备匹配使用。本申请提供的技术方案中,以用于实现终端设备的功能的装置是终端设备,终端设备是UE为例,描述本申请提供的技术方案。
本申请中,芯片系统可以由芯片构成,也可以包括芯片和其他分立器件。
本申请实施例中的网络设备,也可以称为接入网(radio access network,RAN)设备。
RAN设备为将终端设备接入到无线网络的节点或设备,RAN设备又可以称为基站。RAN设备例如包括但不限于:基站、5G中的下一代节点B(generation nodeB,gNB)、演进型节点B(evolved node B,eNB)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller,RNC)、节点B(node B,NB)、基站控制器(base station controller,BSC)、基站收发台(base transceiver station,BTS)、家庭基站(例如,home evolved nodeB,或home node B,HNB)、基带单元(base band unit,BBU)、收发点(transmitting and receiving point,TRP)、发射点(transmitting point,TP)、和/或移动交换中心等。或者,接入网设备还可以是集中单元(centralized unit,CU)、分布单元(distributed unit,DU)、集中单元控制面(CU control plane,CU-CP)节点、集中单元用户面(CU user plane,CU-UP)节点、接入回传一体化(integrated access and backhaul,IAB)、或云无线接入网络(cloud radio access network,CRAN)场景下的无线控制器等中的至少一个。或者,接入网设备可以为中继站、接入点、车载设备、终端设备、可穿戴设备、5G网络中的接入网设备或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)中的接入网设备等。

上述图1所示的本申请实施例能够应用的架构仅是一种举例说明,适用本申请实施例的架构并不局限于此,任何能够实现上述各个设备的功能的架构都适用于本申请实施例。
还应理解,上述命名仅为便于区分不同的功能而定义,不应对本申请构成任何限定。本申请并不排除在5G网络以及未来其它的网络中采用其他命名的可能。例如,在6G网络中,上述各个设备中的部分或全部可以沿用5G中的术语,也可能采用其他名称等。图1中的各个设备之间的接口名称只是一个示例,具体实现中接口的名称可能为其他的名称,本申请对此不作具体限定。此外,上述各个设备之间的所传输的消息(或信令)的名称也仅仅是一个示例,对消息本身的功能不构成任何限定。
为了便于理解本申请实施例,首先对本申请中涉及到的基本概念做以下说明。
1、资源池(resource pool):终端设备可以使用侧行链路资源池中的资源进行数据传输,一个资源池可以在频域上配置一个或多个连续的物理资源块(physical resource block,PRB)(或者称为资源块(resource block,RB)),在时域上配置一个或多个时隙(slot),其中多个时隙可以是连续或者非连续的。
为了便于理解资源池的含义,以下结合图2对侧行链路中的资源池进行示例性说明。图2示出了一种多个资源池的示意图。载波带宽(carrier bandwidth)中的一部分用于SL的频谱可以称为侧行部分 带宽SL BWP(sidelink bandwidth part),SL BWP内可以定义多个资源池,例如图2示出的三个资源池(资源池#1、资源池#2和资源池#3)。以其中一个资源池进行是示例性说明,一个资源池在频域上可以配置有多个连续的PRB,一定数量的连续的PRB可以组成一个子信道,终端设备可以使用一个或多个子信道传输SL数据。换句话说,终端设备发送或者接收SL数据的最小单位粒度可以称为子信道,一个子信道中PRB的数量可以是10、12、15、20、25、50、75或100个。
2、资源:指在资源池中的时频资源。其中,时域资源可以表示为符号(symbol)、时隙(slot)、迷你时隙(mini-slot)、部分时隙(partial slot)、子帧(sub-frame)、无线帧(frame)、感知时隙(sensing slot)等。频域资源可以表示为资源单元(resource element,RE)、资源块(resource block,RB)、子信道(sub-channel)、资源池(resource pool)、带宽(bandwidth)、带宽部分(bandwidth part,BWP)、载波(carrier)、信道(channel)、交错(interlace)等。
为了便于描述,本文以时域资源为时隙,频域资源为RB或者子信道为例描述传输PSCCH的资源。
3、PSCCH和PSSCH:按照Rel-16/Rel-17NR协议,PSCCH和/或PSSCH的调度粒度在时域上的单位为一个时隙,在频域上的单位为连续的一个或多个子信道。
UE可以在该资源上发送侧行信息,在一个资源上可以承载PSCCH和PSSCH以及解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS)、信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS)等信号。其中,PSCCH中承载一阶侧行控制信息(sidelink control information,SCI),PSSCH中承载二阶SCI和/或数据。
1)PSCCH的传输结构:
PSCCH承载一阶SCI。时域上,PSCCH占用从第二个侧行符号开始的两个或三个正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,OFDM)符号;频域上,承载PSCCH的物理资源块(physical resource blocks,PRB)从关联的PSSCH的最低子信道的最低PRB开始,且PSCCH占据的PRB个数在一个PSSCH的子带范围内。PSCCH由{10,12,15,20,25}个资源块(resource block,RB)组成,具体取值由预配置或者网络设备配置,本申请中对此不做限制。
2)PSSCH的传输结构:
PSSCH承载二阶SCI和数据。时域上,有最少2个符号,最多12个符号用于承载PSSCH频域上,占据连续LsubCh个子信道。另外,在一个时隙内,第一个OFDM符号复制第二个符号上发送的信息,用于自动增益控制(Automatic Gain Control,AGC)。
此外,UE可能在连续的两个时隙上分别接收和发送PSSCH。因此,在PSSCH后,可能需要额外增加一个符号(GAP符号),用于UE的收发转换。
图3示出了NR中,PSCCH、PSSCH的传输结构的示意图。该PSCCH、PSSCH可承载于1个时隙、3个子信道上,其中,1个时隙包括14个符号。
另外,从图4中可以看出PSCCH和PSSCH的频域起始(或者说最低)RB索引是相同的。
如果不同的用户占用不同的子信道,不同用户的PSCCH不会相互冲突。如5所示,图5是本申请提供的不同用户频分复用示意图。
从图5中可以看出UE#1占用子信道#6和子信道#5,UE#2占用子信道#2和子信道#1。
4、不同用户的PSCCH冲突:在某些特殊的场景下(如,定位场景)不同的用户之间需要考虑时频正交或梳分的形式相互复用资源,以期尽可能的占满系统带宽。例如,占满资源池的带宽或者BWP带宽等。
这种情况下面临的问题是,如果借鉴PSCCH和PSSCH的设计理念,例如,PSCCH与SL-PRS的最低RB索引相同,那么当多个用户在一个时隙内发送SL-PRS的时候,不同用户之间的PSCCH会相互冲突,导致无法正确解调SCI,进而无法正确接收SL-PRS参考信号,以及其它用户也无法感知资源预留信息。
为了便于理解,结合图6简单介绍不同用户的PSCCH冲突。
从图6中可以看出UE#1和UE#2采用时频复用的方式发送SL-PRS(如,图6中所示的SL-PRS#1和SL-PRS#2),UE#1和UE#2之间的PSCCH会相互冲突(如,图6中所示的PSCCH#1和PSCCH#2)。
本申请实施例涉及SL定位场景。示例性地,sidelink定位包括三种不同的架构,为了便于理解,结合图7进行说明。图7中的(a)至(c)为本申请提供的SL定位场景的示意图。
图7中的(a)所示的为两个用户设备在没有网络覆盖的场景下,通过发送sidelink定位参考信号实现相互定位,例如测距或者测角。
图7中的(b)所示的为一个sidelink用户通过接收多个路侧单元(Road Side Unit,RSU)发送的sidelink定位参考信号实现sidelink定位。
图7中的(c)所示的为两个sidelink用户在网络覆盖范围内,在基站的控制下通过发送sidelink定位参考信号实现相互测距或者测角,并将测量结果通过基站发送给核心网的定位中心。其中,核心网的定位中心可以是定位管理功能(Location management function,LMF)网元。
为了便于理解本申请实施例,做出以下几点说明。
第一,在本申请中,“用于指示”可以包括用于直接指示和用于间接指示。当描述某一指示信息用于指示A时,可以包括该指示信息直接指示A或间接指示A,而并不代表该指示信息中一定携带有A。
将指示信息所指示的信息称为待指示信息,则具体实现过程中,对待指示信息进行指示的方式有很多种,例如但不限于,可以直接指示待指示信息,如待指示信息本身或者该待指示信息的索引等。也可以通过指示其他信息来间接指示待指示信息,其中该其他信息与待指示信息之间存在关联关系。还可以仅仅指示待指示信息的一部分,而待指示信息的其他部分则是已知的或者提前约定的。例如,还可以借助预先约定(例如协议规定)的各个信息的排列顺序来实现对特定信息的指示,从而在一定程度上降低指示开销。同时,还可以识别各个信息的通用部分并统一指示,以降低单独指示同样的信息而带来的指示开销。
第二,在本申请中示出的“至少一个”是指一个或者多个,“多个”是指两个或两个以上。另外,在本申请的实施例中,“第一”、“第二”以及各种数字编号(例如,“#1”、“#2”等)只是为了描述方便进行的区分,并不用来限制本申请实施例的范围。下文各过程的序号的大小并不意味着执行顺序的先后,各过程的执行顺序应以其功能和内在逻辑确定,而不应对本申请实施例的实施过程构成任何限定,应该理解这样描述的对象在适当情况下可以互换,以便能够描述本申请的实施例以外的方案。此外,在本申请实施例中,“S810”、“S820”、等字样仅为了描述方便作出的标识,并不是对执行步骤的次序进行限定。
第三,本申请实施例中,“示例性的”或者“例如”等词用于表示作例子、例证或说明。本申请中被描述为“示例性的”或者“例如”的任何实施例或设计方案不应被解释为比其他实施例或设计方案更优选或更具优势。确切而言,使用“示例性的”或者“例如”等词旨在以具体方式呈现相关概念。
第四,本申请实施例中涉及的“保存”,可以是指的保存在一个或者多个存储器中。该一个或者多个存储器,可以是单独的设置,也可以是集成在编码器或者译码器,处理器、或通信装置中。该一个或者多个存储器,也可以是一部分单独设置,一部分集成在译码器、处理器、或通信装置中。存储器的类型可以是任意形式的存储介质,本申请并不对此限定。
第五,本申请实施例中涉及的“协议”可以是指通信领域的标准协议,例如可以包括NR协议以及应用于未来的通信系统中的相关协议,本申请对此不做限定。
第六,本申请实施例中,“的(of)”,“相应的(corresponding,relevant)”、“对应的(corresponding)”和“关联的(associate)”有时可以混用,应当指出的是,在不强调其区别时,其所要表达的含义是一致的。
第七,本文中术语“和/或”,仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,本文中字符“/”,一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
第八,本申请说明书附图部分的方法流程图中的虚线框表示可选的步骤。
由上述可知,多用户采用时频复用的方式发送SL-PRS的场景下,不同用户的PSCCH挥发生冲突。本申请提出了一种传输控制信息的方法,以期避免不同用户之间的PSCCH冲突。以下对该传输控制信息的方法进行说明。
应理解,本申请实施例提供的传输控制信息的方法可以应用于SL通信的系统,例如,图1所示的通信系统中。
还应理解,下文示出的实施例并未对本申请实施例提供的方法的执行主体的具体结构特别限定,只要能够通过运行记录有本申请实施例的提供的方法的代码的程序,以根据本申请实施例提供的方法 进行通信即可。例如,本申请实施例提供的方法的执行主体可以是终端设备,或者,是终端设备中能够调用程序并执行程序的功能模块。
以下,以某个终端设备进行资源选择为例详细说明本申请实施例提供的传输控制信息的方法。
图8是本申请实施例提供的一种传输控制信息的方法的示意性流程图,包括以下步骤:
S810,第一终端设备根据配置的参考信号资源的个数确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置。
上述的配置的参考信号资源包括多个参考信号资源。多个参考信号资源分别用于传输多个参考信号,参考信号和参考信号资源一一对应。
具体地,该实施例中配置的参考信号资源的个数可以理解为预配置的或者配置的用于传输参考信号的资源,其中,配置的参考信号资源可以理解为针对参考信号的传输配置的相关参数。该实施例中对于配置的参考信号的资源具体形式不做限定,可以为目前协议中定义的参考信号资源相关配置。该实施例中主要涉及配置的参考信号资源的个数,具体配置内容不做限定。
例如,配置的参考信号资源可以为网络设备预配置的用于传输参考信号的资源,如,网络设备预配置了4个参考信号资源,4个参考信号资源分别用于传输4个参考信号。
还例如,配置的参考信号可以为网络设备实时配置的,如,网络设备根据当前系统中的终端设备通信情况,配置了4个参考信号资源,4个参考信号资源分别用于传输4个参考信号。
上述的控制信道用于承载控制信息,该控制信息用于指示第一参考信号相关的信息,例如,控制信息指示第一参考信号的时域资源信息、频域资源信息、占用符号个数或序列标识(identify,ID)等信息。该第一参考信号为第一终端设备占用多个参考信号资源中的某个参考信号资源传输的参考信号,或者说第一参考信号为多个参考信号中待第一终端设备发送的参考信号。
示例性地,控制信息可以为前文所述的SCI或者侧链定位控制信息(Sidelink positioning control information,SPCI),该实施例中对于控制信息的具体形式不做限定,可以为目前协议中定义的控制信道上承载的控制信息。
由于该实施例主要涉及多个终端采用资源复用的方式分别发送多个参考信号的场景下,不同终端设备在不同的控制信道上发送的控制信息可能发生冲突的问题。上述的配置的参考信号资源包括多个参考信号资源,该多个参考信号资源分别用于多个终端设备发送参考信号。该多个终端设备分别在多个控制信道上发送的控制信息,上述的第一终端设备为多个终端设备中的一个,上述的控制信道为多个控制信道中与第一终端设备对应的控制信道,上述的第一参考信号为多个参考信号中待第一终端发送的参考信号。
示例性地,该实施例中涉及的参考信号可以是定位参考信号(如,SL-PRS)或者其他的采用时频正交或梳分的形式发送的参考信号,该实施例中对于参考信号的具体类型不做限定。为了便于描述,下文中以参考信号为SL-PRS为例进行说明。
示例性地,该实施例中涉及的控制信道可以是前文所述的PSCCH或者其他承载控制信息的信道,该实施例中对于控制信道的名称不做限定。为了便于描述,下文中以控制信道为PSCCH为例进行说明。
作为一种可能的实现方式,第一终端设备根据配置的参考信号资源的个数确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置,包括:
第一终端设备根据配置的参考信号资源的个数,将资源池带宽划分为多个子带,多个子带的个数与配置的资源的个数相关,其中,多个子带中的一个子带的起始位置为频域资源的起始位置,而子带的起始位置可以通过起始资源块表示,或者在系统中有子信道的概念的情况下子带的起始位置可以通过起始子信道表示。
或者说:
将所述配置的参考信号资源所在的资源池的带宽的多个子带中的一个子带的起始位置作为频域资源的起始位置,多个子带的个数与配置的参考信号资源的个数相关。可选地,多个子带中各个子带的带宽相同。
作为另一种可能的实现方式,第一终端设备根据配置的参考信号资源的个数可以直接确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置。例如,预配置了参考信号资源的个数和控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置的对应关系。
作为又一种可能的实现方式,第一终端设备根据配置的参考信号资源的个数通过其他设备确定控 制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置。例如,第一终端设备将参考信号资源的个数上报给管理设备,由管理设备确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置并告知第一终端设备。
应理解,上述几种实现方式只是举例说明根据配置的参考信号资源的个数确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置的方式,对本申请的保护范围不构成任何的限定,其他通过配置的参考信号资源的个数确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置的方式也在本申请的保护范围之内,这里不再一一举例说明。
为了便于描述,下文中以第一终端设备根据配置的参考信号资源的个数确定多个子带,并将所述配置的参考信号资源所在的资源池的带宽的多个子带中的一个子带的起始位置作为频域资源的起始位置为例进行说明。
示例性地,上述的多个子带可以理解为控制信道的候选资源位置。
例如,配置的参考信号资源的个数为4,将资源池带宽划分为4个子带。
进一步地,在所述配置的参考信号资源所在的资源池的带宽为配置的参考信号资源的个数的整数倍的情况下,第一终端设备根据配置的参考信号资源的个数,将所述配置的参考信号资源所在的资源池的带宽划分为多个子带,包括:第一终端设备根据配置的参考信号资源的个数,将所述配置的参考信号资源所在的资源池的带宽等分为多个子带。
例如,配置的参考信号资源的个数为4,所述配置的参考信号资源所在的资源池的带宽为20M,则第一终端设备可以将20M带宽等分为4个子带,每个子带占用5M带宽。
还例如,配置的参考信号资源的个数为4,所述配置的参考信号资源所在的资源池的带宽为20M且定义了子信道的概念,如,20M带宽为4个子信道,每个子信道占用5M带宽,则第一终端设备可以将20M带宽等分为4个子带,每个子带5M带宽或者每个子带占用一个子信道。
另外,在所述配置的参考信号资源所在的资源池的带宽不是配置的参考信号资源的个数的整数倍的情况下,第一终端设备根据配置的参考信号资源的个数,将所述配置的参考信号资源所在的资源池带宽划分为多个子带,不同子带的带宽可以不同。
例如,配置的参考信号资源的个数为4,所述配置的参考信号资源所在的资源池的带宽为21M,则第一终端设备可以将20M带宽划分为4个子带,4个子带中的3个子带的带宽为5M,另一个子带的带宽为6M。
需要说明的是,该实施例中多个子带的个数与配置的参考信号资源的个数相关,可以理解为:多个子带的个数与配置的参考信号资源的个数相等,或者子带的个数由配置的参考信号资源的个数计算得到。
例如,配置的参考信号资源的个数为4,子带的个数可以为4个,还可以为5个…等其他取值。也就是说子带的个数参考了配置的参考信号资源的个数。
应理解,上述的资源池带宽的划分方式只是举例,对本申请的保护范围不构成任何的限定,这里不再赘述。
具体地,该实施例中涉及的资源池的可以理解为:侧行链路通信系统中配置有至少一个资源池,每个资源池包括一段频率资源和一组时间资源,例如一组时隙单元。资源池可用的频域资源和时间资源,可以通过信令进行指示。侧行链路通信系统的资源调度按照资源池进行划分,即用户在一个资源池内只能调度,或者指示,或者预留该资源池内的资源,例如时间资源,或者频率资源,或者定位参考信号资源。参考信号资源表示通过参考信号的配置信息指示的用于发送参考信号的时频资源。
示例性地,资源池带宽还可以理解为SL-PRS占用的带宽,或者SL-PRS资源池的带宽,或者是BWP带宽,或者是分量载波(component carrier,CC)带宽等,其中CC带宽表示信号配置在CC上而且独立于BWP或BWP带宽。
为了便于理解,下面将结合具体示例(如,示例一至示例三)说明该实现方式下,第一终端设备确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置的具体实现方式。这里不再赘述。
具体地,在第一终端设备确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置后,能够根据所述频域资源的起始位置在所述控制信道上发送所述控制信息,图8所示的方法流程还包括:
S820,第一终端设备根据频域资源的起始位置在控制信道上向第二终端设备发送控制信息。
该实施例中对于在PSCCH上发送控制信息的具体发送方式不做限定,在确定PSCCH所占频域资 源的起始位置之后,可以进一步地确定PSCCH所占频域资源。而PSCCH上发送控制信息方式可以参考目前相关技术中的描述,这里不再赘述。
示例性地,第二终端设备包括路边单元或SL场景下其他能够实现接收并解调第一终端设备发送的控制信息的功能的设备。该实施例中对于第二终端设备的具体形式不做限定。
应理解,该实施例中就发送端和接收端确定PSCCH所占频域资源的起始位置的逻辑应该一致,也就是说第二终端设备为了能够正确接收到在PSCCH上发送的控制信息,需要确定PSCCH所占频域资源的起始位置,图8所示的方法流程还包括:
S830,第二终端设备根据配置的参考信号资源的个数确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置。
具体地,第二终端设备根据配置的参考信号资源的个数确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置的方式与上述的第一终端设备类似,这里不再赘述。具体地确定方式后续将结合具体示例(如,示例一至示例三)进行说明。
进一步地,第二终端设备接收到控制信息之后,可以解调该控制信息,图8所示的方法流程还包括:
S840,第二终端设备解调控制信息。
应理解,该实施例中第二终端设备解调控制信息的方式可以参考目前相关技术中的描述,这里不再赘述。
图8所示的传输控制信息的方法中,第一终端设备可以根据配置的参考信号资源的个数确定控制信道(如,PSCCH)占用的频域资源的起始位置,不用参考PSSCH与PSCCH的复用的配置方式(如,起始位置与PSSCH一致)和共享信道(如,PSSCH)占用的频域资源的起始位置不再相同,而是有了不同的确定方式。对于定位参考信号和控制信息,PSCCH的起始位置可以与SL-PRS不一致,从而提升PSCCH资源分配的灵活性以及降低终端间的冲突和碰撞,达到提升定位可用性的概率等。
关于PSCCH资源和SL-PRS资源的关联或分配,本申请中提供了以下三种可能的方案:
方案1:同一时隙中的PSCCH资源和关联的SL-PRS资源之间一一对应。PSCCH资源和关联的SL-PRS资源之间一一对应的优点在于:当SL-PRS的资源被保留时,相关联的PSCCH的资源也将被保留。这样,占用不同SL PRS资源的不同UE将利用不同PSCCH资源发送SCI(support a one-to-one mapping relationship between a PSCCH resource and an associated SL-PRS resource in the same slot.The advantage of incurring the one-to-one association between the PSCCH resource and SL-PRS resource is that when a SL-PRS resource is reserved,the associated PSCCH resource will be reserved as well.In this way,different UEs occupying different SL PRS resources will transmit SCI with different PSCCH resources)。
方案2:SL PRS资源的通过显式信令指示,且假设SL PRS和PSCCH资源之间没有关联关系。方案2问题是,即使SL-PRS是正交的,也不能确保正交PSCCH,或者需要专用的PSCCH资源选择(explicit signaling of SL PRS resource in the same slot,this alternative assumes no association between SL PRS and PSCCH resource.The problem of this alternative is that it cannot ensure orthogonal PSCCH even SL-PRS is orthogonal,or that it requires dedicated PSCCH resource selection)。
方案3:支持PSCCH资源与同一时隙中的一个或多个相关联的SL-PRS资源之间相关联关系以及SL PRS资源的通过显式信令指示,该方案3复杂性高和信令开销大。这种一对多映射假设时隙中的SL-PRS资源远远多于PSCCH候选资源。然而,在这种情况下,对于单个时隙,可用的SL-PRS资源无论如何都是PSCCH候选数量的上界,有效地简化为一对一映射。此外,SCI开销将显著增加,这是不合理的(support a mapping relationship between a PSCCH resource and one or more associated SL-PRS resource(s)in the same slot and explicit signaling of SL PRS resource,this alternative will lead to the complexity and overhead increase.This one-to-many mapping assumes that the SL-PRS resources in the slot is way more than PSCCH candidates.However,in this case,our understanding is that for a single slot,the usable SL-PRS resource is upper bounded by the number of PSCCH candidates anyway,effectively reduced to one-to-one mapping.Furthermore,the SCI overhead will significantly increase,which is absolutely unjustified)。
综上,该实施例中主要考虑上述方案1所示的关联方式。支持PSCCH资源与同一时隙中关联的SL-PRS资源之间的一对一映射关系(With regards to the SL-PRS configuration and/or SL-PRS time  assignment information.support a one-to-one mapping relationship between a PSCCH resource and an associated SL-PRS resource in the same slot)。
应理解,在该实现方式下,不需要对同一时隙的哪个SL PRS资源进行明确的信令(In this case,there is no need of an explicit signaling of which SL PRS resource for the same slot),且的PSCCH资源和SL-PRS资源的数量相同(Same number of PSCCH resource(s)and SL-PRS resource(s))。
SL PRS资源和PSCCH资源之间相关联。例如,与SL PRS资源kPRS相关联的PSCCH候选资源的起始子信道起始满足以下关系:(In addition,we propose to simplify the association scheme between the SL PRS resource and PSCCH resource.For example,the starting subchannelof the PSCCH candidate resource associated with SL PRS resource kPRS is given by:)
其中,表示专用资源池内的子信道的数量,KPRS表示SL PRS资源的数量(wheredenotes the number of subchannels within the dedicated resource pool,KPRS denotes the number of SL PRS resources)。另外,本申请中SL-PRS,sl-prs,PRS,prs等符号的含义相同,均表示定位参考信号,仅为大小写的差别,可以相互替代。
下面将结合具体示例(如,示例一至示例三)说明终端设备根据配置的参考信号资源的个数确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置的具体实现方式。
示例一:配置的参考信号资源为一个时隙内配置的SL-PRS资源。
可选地,一个时隙内配置的SL-PRS资源可以理解为某个时隙中配置的SL-PRS资源;或者还可以理解为用于SL-PRS传输的资源池中配置的SL-PRS资源,其中,用于SL-PRS传输的资源池包括多个时隙,该多个时隙中每个时隙中配置的SL-PRS资源可以理解为该用于SL-PRS传输的资源池中配置的SL-PRS资源。
例如,用于SL-PRS传输的资源池为资源池#1,该资源池#1中包括3个时隙(时隙#1、时隙#2和时隙#3),若针对资源池#1配置4个SL-PRS资源,可以理解为时隙#1、时隙#2和时隙#3中每个时隙中配置的SL-PRS资源相同,均为4个。
如图9所示,在时域上PSCCH占据一个时隙中前几个(如,2个或者3个等)符号中除了AGC符号之外的符号,SL-PRS占据该时隙中除了PSCCH,AGC和间隔(GAP)符号之外的符号。
应理解,图9仅是示例性示出时域上一个时隙中不同符号的功能,对本申请的保护范围不构成任何的限定,一个时隙中不同符号的功能还可以有其他的形式,例如,图9中所示的第二个AGC(如,图9中PSCCH和SL-PRS之间的AGC)可以没有。
当该时隙(或者说该时隙所在的资源池)预配置了4个SL-PRS资源时(如,图9中所示的SL-PRS#1、SL-PRS#2、SL-PRS#3和SL-PRS#4),那么可以将资源池带宽划分为4个子带或者划分为4个候选位置(如,图9中所示的PSCCH#1、PSCCH#2、PSCCH#3和PSCCH#4),每个子带(或者候选位置)对应一个PSCCH,每个子带(或者候选位置)用于传输一个PSCCH。
在用户UE#A占用SL-PRS#1资源发送定位参考信号时,UE#A占用PSCCH#1至PSCCH#4中的一个发送SPCI。
例如,UE#A占用PSCCH#1发送SPCI,该SPCI用于指示SL-PRS#1相关信息,如,指示SL-PRS#1的时域资源信息、SL-PRS#1的频域资源信息、SL-PRS#1的占用符号个数或SL-PRS#1的序列ID等。
在UE#B占用SL-PRS#2资源发送定位参考信号时,UE#B占用PSCCH#1至PSCCH#4中的一个发送SPCI。
例如,UE#B占用PSCCH#2发送SPCI,该SPCI用于指示SL-PRS#2相关信息,如,指示SL-PRS#2的时域资源信息、SL-PRS#2的频域资源信息、SL-PRS#2的占用符号个数或SL-PRS#2的序列ID等。
示例性地,PSCCH的位置与预配置的SL-PRS个数相关,不同的PSCCH的频域起始位置,如图10所示,图10是本申请实施例提供的不同PSCCH的频域起始位置的示意图。
从图10中的(a)可以看出,不同PSCCH的频域起始位置以RB粒度示出,不同PSCCH的频域起始位置为不同的RB。
从图10中的(b)可以看出,不同PSCCH的频域起始位置以子信道粒度示出,不同PSCCH的频域起始位置为不同的子信道,某个PSCCH的频域起始位置为该PSCCH对应的子信道的起始(或者说 最低)RB,也就是说不同PSCCH的频域起始位置为不同的RB。
应理解,图10只是示例性指出PSCCH的频域起始位置可能的粒度,对本申请的保护范围不构成任何的限定,例如,还可以是RE粒度,这里不再赘述。
具体地,配置的资源的参考信号个数、频域资源起始位置和频域资源的索引满足以下关系:
或者
其中,RBlowest表示所述频域资源的起始资源块,所述表示所述资源池的带宽,SubCHlowest表示所述频域资源的起始子信道,表示所述资源池包括的子信道个数,Kprs表示所述预配置的资源的个数,kpscch表示所述频域资源的索引,表示取整,所述kpscch大于等于1且小于等于Kprs,fk为偏移值。其中,fk可以为一个固定的偏差,例如,fk取值可以为0,1,2…或者其它自然数,该示例中不做限制。
或者,配置的资源的参考信号个数、频域资源起始位置和频域资源的索引满足以下关系:
或者
其中,RBlowest表示所述频域资源的起始资源块,所述表示所述资源池的带宽,SubCHlowest表示所述频域资源的起始子信道,表示所述资源池包括的子信道个数,Kprs表示所述配置的参考信号资源的个数,kpscch表示所述频域资源的索引,表示取整,所述kpscch大于等于1且小于等于Kprs,fk为偏移值,fk可以为预先设定的常数,例如fk可以为整数,如-1,-2,0,1,2,3等,也可以为根据系统参数计算得到的常数值,如根据子信道数量和参考信号资源数量的比较得到,当子信道数量超过参考信号资源数量时,为第一值;当子信道数量等于参考信号资源数量时,为第二值;当子信道数量小于参考信号资源数量时,为第三值。
或者,配置的资源的参考信号个数、频域资源起始位置和频域资源的索引满足以下关系:
或者
其中,RBlowest表示所述频域资源的起始资源块,所述表示所述资源池的带宽,SubCHlowest表示所述频域资源的起始子信道,表示所述资源池包括的子信道个数,Kprs表示所述配置的参考信号资源的个数,kprs表示参考信号资源的索引,表示取整,fk为偏移值,fk可以为预先设定的常数,例如fk可以为整数,例如-1,-2,0,1,2,3等,也可以为根据系统参数计算得到的常数值,例如根据子信道数量和参考信号资源数量的比较得到,当子信道数量超过参考信号资源数量时,为第一值;当子信道数量等于参考信号资源数量时,为第二值;当子信道数量小于参考信号资源数量时,为第三值。k0为常数,可选的k0为整数,例如-2,-1,0,1,2等;可选的,k0也可以为自然数,例如0,1,2等。
示例性地,参考信号资源的索引可以为参考信号资源的标识符或者ID,或者根据参考信号的配置信息,或者标识符或者ID计算得到的,例如,参考信号资源的索引为根据参考信号资源的ID大小顺序排序得到的。
作为一种可能的实现方式,kprs可以为参考信号的ID。如下表A所示:
表A
作为另一种可能的实现方式,kprs是根据参考信号资源的ID的大小排序得到的。如下表B所示:
表B

其中,k0为固定常数,例如0,1,2,3等。上述控制信道的频域起始位置均为资源池内的频域位置,例如频域起始位置为0,表示资源池的最低频点,最低子信道或者最低RB,即在计算控制信道的绝对频域位置时,需要以资源池的最低频点为基准计算得到。
在示例一中,终端设备可以根据配置的SL-PRS资源个数确定PSCCH的候选频域资源的个数,并可以在发送PSCCH的时候从PSCCH的候选频域资源中选择一个候选资源发送PSCCH,不同终端设备选择到相同的候选资源的概率较低,能够降低不同终端设备的在PSCCH上发送的SCI发生冲突的概率。进一步地,示例一所示的PSCCH的资源确定方法,PSCCH的盲检复杂度比较低。
示例二:预配置的参考信号资源为一个时隙内配置的SL-PRS资源,且SL-PRS资源索引用于确定该SL-PRS对应的PSCCH的位置。
在示例一中,给出了根据配置的SL-PRS资源个数,确定PSCCH的候选资源个数的方法,该示例二中,给出对于多个候选资源位置,进一步根据SL-PRS资源索引,确定SL-PRS对应的PSCCH的位置的方法,即每一个SL-PRS资源与该SL-PRS对应的PSCCH的频域位置相对应。
具体地,终端设备根据多个SL-PRS资源的标识大小,确定多个SL-PRS资源中每个SL-PRS资源的索引,并且终端设备根据多个子带中每个子带对应的频域位置(或者说频点)大小,确定多个子带中每个子带的索引。
或者说,多个SL-PRS资源中每个SL-PRS资源的索引由多个SL-PRS资源的标识确定,多个子带中每个子带的索引由多个子带中每个子带对应的频域位置确定。
例如,配置了3个SL-PRS资源,该3个SL-PRS资源包括SL-PRS#1、SL-PRS#2和SL-PRS#3,SL-PRS#1、SL-PRS#2和SL-PRS#3的标识分别为ID#1,ID#10和ID#11,可以根据SL-PRS#1、SL-PRS#2和SL-PRS#3的标识的大小(如,从大到小或者从小到大)对多个SL-PRS#1、SL-PRS#2和SL-PRS#3重新编码,如,按照SL-PRS资源的标识从大到小对3个参考信号资源重新编码,得到SL-PRS#1、SL-PRS#2和SL-PRS#3的索引分别为1,2和3。进一步地,子带的个数和配置的SL-PRS资源的个数相等,该3个子带包括子带#1、子带#2和子带#3,子带#1、子带#2和子带#3的频域位置分别为2.5M,7.5M和12.5M,可以根据子带#1、子带#2和子带#3的频域位置的大小(如,从大到小或者从小到大)对多个子带#1、子带#2和子带#3编码,如,按照子带的频域位置从大到小对3个子带编码,得到子带#1、子带#2和子带#3的索引分别为1,2和3。
具体地,终端设备在索引为第一索引的资源上发送(或接收)第一参考信号,以及根据第一索引对应的子带的起始位置在控制信道上发送(或接收)控制信息。
作为一种可能的实现方式,第一索引对应的子带可以是该子带的索引为第一索引。
例如,第一索引为1,第一索引对应的子带的索引为1。
作为另一种可能的实现方式,第一索引对应的子带可以是该子带的索引与第一索引相关。例如,SL-PRS资源索引和子带索引存在一一对应关系(SL-PRS资源索引1,对应子带索引3;SL-PRS资源索引2,对应子带索引1;SL-PRS资源索引3,对应子带索引2),当第一索引为1时,第一索引对应的子带的索引为3。
具体地,SL-PRS资源索引和子带索引之间的一一对应关系可以通过预设表格的形式保存在终端设备中。
示例性地,SL-PRS资源索引和子带索引之间的关系如下表1和表2所示。
表1
表1所示的情况表示SL-PRS资源索引和子带索引相同。
表2
表2所示的情况表示SL-PRS资源索引和子带索引一一对应。
为了便于理解,结合图11说明不同的SL-PRS资源对应不同的PSCCH的候选资源位置。如图11所示,不同的SL-PRS资源对应不同的PSCCH的候选资源位置。
从图11中可以看出,SL-PRS#1资源至SL-PRS#4资源分别对应PSCCH的候选资源#1至PSCCH的候选资源#4,且从图11中可以看出PSCCH的候选资源#1上发送的SPCI#1用于指示SL-PRS#1资源相关的信息,PSCCH的候选资源#2上发送的SPCI#2用于指示SL-PRS#2资源相关的信息,PSCCH的候选资源#3上发送的SPCI#3用于指示SL-PRS#3资源相关的信息,PSCCH的候选资源#4上发送的SPCI#4用于指示SL-PRS#4资源相关的信息。
也就是说第一终端根据示例一所示的方法确定4个PSCCH的候选资源位置之后,不再随机从候选资源位置中随机选择一个作为PSCCH的资源,而是根据发送SL-PRS所占用的SL-PRS资源,确定具体哪一个PSCCH的候选资源作为PSCCH的资源。
例如,第一终端可以将配置的4个SL-PRS资源进行联合编码,联合编码方式包括:将不同的SL-PRS资源按照资源ID大小,将索引编码为1,2,3,4或者0,1,2,3或者其他编码,也就是说一个SL-PRS资源对应一个标识。
然后第一终端将确定得到的4个PSCCH的候选资源位置按照频点从低到高,编码为1,2,3,4或者0,1,2,3或者其他编码,也就是说一个PSCCH的候选资源位置对应一个索引。其中,第一终端对于多个SL-PRS资源的编码方式和对于PSCCH的候选资源位置的编码方式相同。
示例性地,若4个SL-PRS资源的索引分别为1,2,3,4,那么4个PSCCH的候选资源位置的索引分别为1,2,3,4。
示例性地,若4个SL-PRS资源的索引分别为0,1,2,3,那么4个PSCCH的候选资源位置的索引分别为0,1,2,3。
当终端在索引为1的SL-PRS资源上发送SL-PRS时,对应的,终端在索引为1的PSSCH候选位置上发送PSCCH上的SCI。或者说,当终端在索引为1的SL-PRS资源上接收SL-PRS时,对应的,终端在索引为1的PSSCH候选位置上接收PSCCH上的SCI。
具体的,PSCCH的频域起始位置的计算公式可以表示如下:
当SL-PRS资源的索引从0开始编码时:
或者,
当SL-PRS资源的索引从1开始编码时:
或者,
其中,kprs表示所述频域资源的索引,RBlowest表示频域资源的起始资源块,所述表示所述资源池的带宽,SubCHlowest表示所述频域资源的起始子信道位置,表示所述资源池包括的子信道个数,Kprs表示所述预配置的资源的个数,表示取整,fk为偏移值。
示例性地,fk标识一个固定的偏差值,该偏差值可以与索引相关,也可以与索引无关,取值可以为0,1,2…或者其它自然数,该示例中不做限制。
相比于上述的示例一,示例二中具体设计了PSCCH的候选资源位置与SL-PRS资源之间的映射关系,通过对配置的SL-PRS的资源进行编码,根据SL-PRS的索引确定具体的PSCCH的起始频点。避免不同终端设备的在PSCCH上发送的SCI发生冲突。
示例三:配置的参考信号资源为多个时隙内配置的SL-PRS资源。
示例一与示例二考虑的是某个时隙内配置的SL-PRS资源个数,确定PSCCH的候选资源位置。示 例三中设计了一种多个时隙的SL-PRS资源联合编码,确定PSCCH的候选资源频域位置方法。
具体地,在多个资源位于多个时隙中的情况下,多个时隙中的至少一个时隙中包括多个PSCCH的分别对应的多个频域资源。
作为一种可能的实现方式,奇数时隙内包括PSCCH的候选资源位置,偶数时隙全部用于SL-PRS发送。
作为另一种可能的实现方式,偶数时隙内包括PSCCH的候选资源位置,奇数时隙全部用于SL-PRS发送。
作为又一种可能的实现方式,第一个时隙内包括PSCCH的候选资源位置,其余时隙全部用于SL-PRS发送。
上述几种实现方式只是举例说明,多个时隙内的PSCCH进行联合设计的情况下,多个时隙中的至少一个内包括PSCCH的候选资源位置即可,具体是哪个或哪几个时隙内包括PSCCH的候选资源位置该实施例中不做限定。
为了便于描述,以两个时隙联合编码为例进行说明:例如,时隙1表示奇数时隙,时隙2表示偶数时隙,如图12所示,时隙1中包括PSCCH资源和SL-PRS资源,时隙2中仅包括SL-PRS资源。时隙2中的SL-PRS对应的SCI在时隙1中的PSCCH资源上发送。
假设时隙1中配置了4个资源,时隙2中配置了两个资源,那么两个时隙总共有6个SL-PRS资源。那么时隙1中共有6个PSCCH候选位置,分别对应SL-PRS#1至SL-PRS#6。
应理解,上述只是以两个时隙作为示例,也可以拓展到其它情况,例如3个或者更多时隙的SL-PRS联合编码,共享同一个时隙中的PSCCH资源。另外,时隙1也可以仅包括PSCCH资源,不包含SL-PRS资源等。
通过对多个时隙内的SL-PRS资源的PSCCH进行联合设计,可以有效降低PSCCH的资源开销,例如每个时隙PSCCH占用3个符号,则开销为3/14,两个时隙联合编码,PSCCH的开销为3/28,降低一倍。提升SL-PRS的资源利用率和SL-PRS或者用户的容量。
示例性地,若是每个时隙内均存在PSCCH资源,对于定位来说会导致PSCCH资源开销太大,示例三给出的多个时隙内的PSCCH进行联合设计的方法,仅在部分时隙中存在PSCCH资源,对本时隙(存在PSCCH资源的时隙)的SL-PRS和非本时隙的SL-PRS进行联合指示,可有效降低PSCCH的资源开销。
另外,本申请实施例中对于多个SL-PRS资源之间的复用方式不做限定,例如,SL-PRS#1至SL-PRS#4可以梳分,也可以频分、时分和梳分等。其中,梳分表示不同的SL-PRS资源之间跟梳子(comb)一样相互正交,可以理解为一种特定的时分和频分的复用方式。如,上述图11中SL-PRS#1至SL-PRS#4为梳分复用方式。
为了便于理解,结合图13简单介绍SL-PRS资源之间的复用方式。
从图13中可以看出多个SL-PRS资源之间采用梳分复用方式。
图8所示的传输控制信息的方法中,考虑的是预配置具体的SL-PRS资源个数下,确定的PSCCH资源位置的方法,本申请中还提供另一种通信方式考虑没有配置的SL-PRS资源个数,而是网络设备根据终端设备的请求,按需给终端配置SL-PRS资源的情况下,终端设备如何确定PSCCH资源的位置。下面结合图14详细说明该传输控制信息的方法。
图14是本申请实施例提供的另一种传输控制信息的方法的示意性流程图,包括以下步骤:
S1410,第一终端设备接收来自网络设备的配置信息。
具体地,该配置信息用于配置参考信号的资源。
S1420,第一终端根据配置信息确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置。
其中,控制信道用于承载控制信息,所述控制信息用于指示所述参考信号相关的信息。
作为一种可能的实现方式,配置信息包括参考信号对应的梳分数和频域偏移值。
作为另一种可能的实现方式,配置信息包括参考信号的资源标识(identify,ID)、参考信号的资源标识、参考信号的资源配置中携带的PSCCH的信息、或参考信号的资源配置中携带的SCI的信息等,其中,PSCCH的信息可以是PSCCH的索引,该PSCCH的索引用于指示PSCCH的频域起始位置;SCI的信息也可以用于指示PSCCH的频域起始位置。
应理解,上述几种实现方式只是举例说明配置信息包括的具体内容,对本申请的保护范围不构成任何的限定,其他能够用于确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置的参考信号的资源的配置信息也在本申请的保护范围之内,这里不再一一举例说明。
为了便于描述,下文中以配置信息包括参考信号对应的梳分数和频域偏移值为例进行说明。
作为一种可能的实现方式,第一终端将所述参考信号的资源所在的资源池的带宽的多个子带中的第一子带的起始位置作为所述频域资源的起始位置,所述多个子带的个数与所述梳分数相关,所述第一子带在所述多个子带中的顺序与所述频域偏移值相关,其中,所述子带的起始位置包括以下任一项:起始资源块索引、或起始子信道索引、起始频点索引、或起始子载波索引。
或者说:所述第一终端根据梳分数将所述参考信号的资源所在的资源池的带宽划分为多个子带,所述多个子带的个数与所述梳分数相关;所述第一终端根据所述频域偏移值确定所述频域资源对应的子带在所述多个子带中的顺序,其中,所述频域资源对应的子带的起始位置为所述频域资源的起始位置。
作为又一种可能的实现方式,第一终端根据参考信号对应的梳分数和频域偏移值可以直接确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置。例如,预配置了参考信号对应的梳分数和频域偏移值和控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置的对应关系。
应理解,上述几种实现方式只是举例说明根据参考信号对应的梳分数和频域偏移值确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置的方式,对本申请的保护范围不构成任何的限定,其他通过参考信号对应的梳分数和频域偏移值确定控制信道占用的频域资源的起始位置的方式也在本申请的保护范围之内,这里不再一一举例说明。
为了便于描述,下文中以第一终端根据参考信号对应的梳分数和频域偏移值确定多个子带,并将所述参考信号的资源所在的资源池的带宽的多个子带中的一个子带的起始位置作为频域资源的起始位置为例进行说明。
示例性地,多个子带中各个子带的带宽相同。
示例性地,在所述参考信号的资源所在的资源池的带宽为梳分数的整数倍的情况下,终端设备根据梳分数,将所述参考信号的资源所在的资源池的带宽划分为多个子带,包括:终端设备根据梳分数,将所述参考信号的资源所在的资源池的带宽等分为多个子带。
例如,网络设备给UE#A配置的SL-PRS资源1,给UE#B配置了SL-PRS资源2。
其中,SL-PRS资源1和SL-PRS资源2的梳分数均为4,SL-PRS资源1的偏移值为0,SL-PRS资源2的偏移值为1。
那么UE#A将资源池带宽(或者说SL-PRS占据带宽、系统带宽、PSCCH可用带宽等)分为4子带,即4个PSCCH的候选资源。由于SL-PRS资源1的偏移值为0,即没有偏移,则4个PSCCH的候选资源中的第一个PSCCH候选资源即为UE#A的PSCCH资源,用于发送SPCI。
由于SL-PRS资源2的频域偏移值为1,则UE#B在4个PSCCH候选资源中的第二个候选PSCCH资源上发送SPCI。
通过上述方式确定PSCCH候选资源,不同终端设备的PSCCH承载的控制信息即可避免冲突。
具体的,PSCCH的频域位置的计算公式可以表示如下:
或者,
其中,krrs′表示所述频域偏移值,RBlowest表示所述频域资源的起始资源块位置,所述表示所述资源池的带宽,SubCHlowest表示所述频域资源的起始子信道位置,表示所述资源池包括的子信道个数,Cprs表示所述梳分数,表示取整,fk为偏移值。其中,fk可以为一个固定的偏差,例如,fk取值可以为0,1,2…或者其它自然数,该示例中不做限制。
当基站并没有给终端预配置SL-PRS资源时,终端无法确定一个时隙内的SL-PRS资源的个数,因此也无法确定对应的PSCCH资源的位置。在这种情况下,给出了一个方法就是根据SL-PRS的梳分数和频域偏移值来确定PSCCH资源的位置,由于不同的用户往往占用不同的梳齿,即不同的频域偏移值,从而对应不同的PSCCH的候选位置,达到避免冲突的效果。
与传统方法确定PSCCH的资源不同,图14所示的实施例给出了根据SL-PRS的配置信息,梳齿 数和偏移值确定PSCCH资源的方法。由于为了避免SL-PRS间的冲突,不同用户的SL-PRS配置需要不同(梳齿,频域偏移值等不同),因此,根据SL-PRS的配置确定的PSCCH也各不相同,可以降低不同终端设备之间在控制信道上发送控制信息发生冲突的概率。
应理解,上述各过程的序号的大小并不意味着执行顺序的先后,各过程的执行顺序应以其功能和内在逻辑确定,而不应对本申请实施例的实施过程构成任何限定。
还应理解,在本申请的各个实施例中,如果没有特殊说明以及逻辑冲突,不同的实施例之间的术语和/或描述具有一致性、且可以相互引用,不同的实施例中的技术特征根据其内在的逻辑关系可以组合形成新的实施例。例如,可以设计固定的PSCCH资源候选位置,根据UE ID确定具体的PSCCH资源位置。
还应理解,在上述一些实施例中,主要以现有的网络架构中的设备为例进行了示例性说明(如网络设备,终端设备等),应理解,对于设备的具体形式本申请实施例不作限定。例如,在未来可以实现同样功能的设备都适用于本申请实施例。
可以理解的是,上述各个方法实施例中,由网络设备实现的方法和操作,也可以由可用于网络设备的部件实现;由终端设备实现的方法和操作,也可以由可用于终端设备的部件实现。
