当前的5G NR系统,支持多点协作的PDSCH传输技术。包括以下几种方案:
PDSCH的SDM(Space Division Multiplex,空分复用)传输的方案,此方案中PDSCH的两个不同的数据流从两个TRP同时发送,占用相同的时频资源;
PDSCH的FDM(Frequency Division Multiplex,频分复用)传输方案,此方案通过PDSCH在频域重复传输以进一步改善URLLC(Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication,低时延高可靠通信)传输的性能;
PDSCH的TDM(Time Division Multiplex,时分复用)传输方案(包括时隙内的TDM和时隙间的TDM),此方案通过PDSCH在时域的重复传输以进一步改善URLLC传输的性能。
图1是本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法的流程示意图之一。如图1所示,本公开实施例提供一种相干联合传输方法,其执行主体可以为终端,例如,手机等。该方法包括:
步骤110、接收网络设备发送的MAC-CE(Media Access Control Control Element,媒体接入控制单元)信令或第一DCI(Downlink Control Information,下行链路控制信息)信令,MAC-CE信令或第一DCI信令用于指示目标TCI(Transmission Configurationin Indicator,传输配置指示)状态信息;
步骤120、基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输;
其中,目标TCI状态信息包括N个目标TCI状态,目标TCI状态为下行TCI状态或者上下行联合TCI状态中的任一种;N为大于1的正整数。
在步骤110中,终端可以接收网络设备发送的MAC-CE信令,该MAC-CE信令可以激活一组或多组TCI状态信息。以表1为例,表1为MAC-CE信令激活的一组TCI状态信息的示例。在表1中,MAC-CE信令激活的一组TCI状态信息包括8个TCI状态信息,其中,每个码点对应一个TCI状态信息,每个TCI状态信息对应1个或2个(也可以是更多个,表1仅用于示例)目标TCI状态。当目标TCI状态为上下行联合TCI状态时,目标TCI状态既可 以用于下行传输,也可以用于上行传输。
表1 MAC-CE信令激活TCI状态信息示例表1
需要说明的是,为了保证网络设备与终端之间的相干联合传输,还需要从MAC-CE激活的该组TCI状态信息中确定用于进行数据的相干联合传输的目标TCI状态信息。
此时,终端仍可以通过接收网络设备发送的MAC-CE来确定将该组TCI状态信息中的哪一个作为目标TCI状态信息。其中,MAC-CE可以是与激活一组或多组TCI状态信息的MAC-CE相同,也可以是网络设备发送给终端的专用MAC-CE。
可选地,终端还可以通过接收网络设备发送的第一DCI信令,来确定将该组TCI状态信息中的哪一个作为目标TCI状态信息。
例如,第一DCI信令可以根据TCI指示域的取值从激活的TCI状态信息组中选择码点进行TCI状态指示。例如,TCI指示域中取值对应码点P3,则网络设备向终端指示了包含两个目标TCI状态TCI_7和TCI_9的目标TCI状态信息。
需要说明的是,当MAC-CE或者第一DCI指示的目标TCI状态信息包括1个目标TCI状态时,例如包含{TCI_2}的目标TCI状态信息、包含{TCI_3}的目标TCI状态信息等,则终端会直接基于目标TCI状态信息中的单个目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输。
当MAC-CE或者第一DCI指示的目标TCI状态信息包括2个或更多个目标TCI状态时,则网络设备会进一步指示终端是否基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输,和/或具体基于目标TCI状态信息中的哪些目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输。网络设备与终端也可以基于预定的方式,来基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输。
在步骤120中,当确定目标TCI状态信息后,终端会基于该目标TCI状态信息,来与网络设备进行数据的相干联合传输。即,终端会基于目标TCI状态信息中的多个目标TCI状态,使用多个TRP同时与网络设备进行同一数据流的传输。
需要说明的是,一个目标TCI状态可以对应一个TRP,当采用多个目标TCI状态进行相干联合传输时,即可实现multi-TRP场景下数据的相干联合传输。
本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法,通过MAC-CE信令或DCI信令向终端指示目标TCI状态信息,以便终端和网络设备基于目标TCI状态信息中的多个目标TCI状态实现multi-TRP场景下数据的相干联合传输,提高了通信系统的数据传输性能和灵活性。
在一个实施例中,当N为2时,即目标TCI状态信息包括2个目标TCI状态时,需要网络设备进一步指示终端是否基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输,和/或具体基于目标TCI状态信息中的哪些目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输,因此在步骤120之前,本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法还可以包括:
接收网络设备发送的第二DCI信令;该第二DCI信令用于通过以下至少一种方式向终端指示进行数据的相干联合传输:
方式1、第二DCI信令包含第一信息域,该第一信息域用于指示基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输。
第二DCI信令可以包含一个第一信息域,该第一信息域可以用于显式指示终端基于目标TCI状态信息进行相干联合传输。
例如,该第一信息域的取值可以用于指示是否采用相干联合传输。该第 一信息域可以使用1比特位宽,当该第一信息域取值为“0”时表示不采用相干联合传输,当该第一信息域取值为“1”时表示采用相干联合传输。或者,当该第一信息域取值为“1”时表示不采用相干联合传输,当该第一信息域取值为“0”时表示采用相干联合传输。
方式2、第二DCI信令包含资源分配域,资源分配域中的目标TCI状态信息的重复次数为1,目标TCI状态信息的重复次数用于指示基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输。
例如,可以利用第二DCI信令中的时域资源分配域(Time Domain Resource Assignment,TDRA)来指示是否基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输。时域资源分配域对应有资源分配参数列表,如表2所示。
表2 资源分配参数列表1
表2中的每一行对应一组参数取值,包括时隙偏移、起始符号和长度、PDSCH映射类型和重复次数等。该资源分配参数列表由高层参数RRC进行配置,或者由系统预定义。需要说明的是,本文表格中涉及的“XXX”表示相关参数取值已由相关的标准协议给出,本公开实施例中不再进行详细介绍。
可以具体利用资源分配参数列表中的重复次数的取值来指示是否基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输。
例如,当重复次数配置为1时,表示此行对应的目标TCI状态信息用于相干联合传输。以表2为例,当时域资源分配域的取值对应码点P1时,则基于目标TCI状态信息进行相干联合传输。当对应其他码点时,则不采用相干联合传输。
当然,也可以将重复次数配置为2、8、4等才进行联合相干传输。本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。
方式3、第二DCI信令包含资源分配域,资源分配域包括目标参数,目标参数的取值用于指示基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输;
可以在时域资源分配域对应的资源分配参数列表中引入目标参数,如表3所示,并基于该目标参数的取值来指示是否基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输。
表3 资源分配参数列表2
其中,目标参数的取值为0表示不采用相干联合传输,取值为1表示采用相干联合传输。例如当时域资源分配域的取值对应码点P2或者P3时,则采用相干联合传输。当对应码点P1或者P4时,则不采用相干联合传输。
当然,还可以将目标参数的取值设置为1时表示不采用相干联合传输,设置为0时表示采用相干联合传输。本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。
方式4、第二DCI信令指示的DMRS(Demodulation Reference Signal,解调参考信号)的CDM(Code Division Multiplexing,码分复用)组数大于2,DMRS的CDM组数用于指示基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输。
需要说明的是,当前的5G系统中,DMRS配置类型2包含3个码分复用组,即CDM组。在DCI的天线端口指示域中,当指示3个及以上DMRS端口时,约束DMRS端口分布在3个CDM组中。
可以设置成当DMRS的CDM组数大于2时,基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输。
方式5、第二DCI信令包含第二信息域,第二信息域用于指示进行数据的相干联合传输所使用的第一TCI状态;第一TCI状态为N个目标TCI状态 中的至少之一;
可以在第二DCI信令中引入第二信息域,该第二信息域的取值除了指示当前是否采用相干联合传输外,还用于指示采用那些目标TCI状态进行相干联合传输。以表4为例,第二信息域可以包含2比特,并且不同取值对应不同的指示。
表4 第二信息域取值示例表
当然,第二信息域还可以包含其他数量的比特,例如4比特、8比特等,并且各种取值可对应采用不同的目标TCI状态进行相干联合传输。本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。
方式6、第二DCI信令包含的一个或多个指定信息域的预设取值用于指示基于所述目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输。
可以将第二DCI信令中的现有的一个或多个信息域的特殊取值,用于指示相干联合传输。例如采用RV域、NDI域、HARQ进程数域中的一个或多个的取值的组合来指示相干联合传输。
需要说明的是,第二DCI信令可以是与指示目标TCI状态信息的第一DCI信令相同的DCI信令,也可以是网络设备发送给终端的专用DCI信令。
即,在N为2的情况下,终端可以接收网络设备发送的第一DCI信令,第一DCI信令用于指示目标TCI状态信息,并且还通过上述至少一种方式向终端指示基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输,和/或基于目标TCI状态信息中的哪些目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输。或者,终端 可以在接收网络设备发送的第一DCI信令之后,再接收网络设备发送的第二DCI信令,该第二DCI信令通过上述至少一种方式向终端指示基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输,和/或基于目标TCI状态信息中的哪些目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输。
本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法,在目标TCI状态信息包括2个目标TCI状态的情况下,通过DCI信令以各种方式向终端指示进行数据的相干联合传输,可以确保在各种场景下都能实现在目标TCI状态信息包括2个目标TCI状态条件下的相干联合传输,有效提高了系统的实用性。
在一个实施例中,当N为2时,即目标TCI状态信息包括2个目标TCI状态时,在步骤120之前,所述方法还包括:
确定2个目标TCI状态的QCL(Quasi Co-Location,准共址)类型不同。
需要说明的是,5G系统中支持4种QCL类型,包括QCL类型A/B/C/D,下行TCI状态中包含最多两个QCL类型。
例如,目标TCI状态包括2个目标TCL状态TCL_1和TCL_2:TCI_1中包含QCL类型A,TCI_2中包含QCL类型B,则此时可以确定目标TCL状态TCL_1的QCL类型与目标TCL状态TCL_2的QCL类型不同,终端会基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输。
又例如,TCI_1中包含QCL类型A+QCL类型D,TCI_2中包含QCL类型B+QCL类型D,则此时同样可以确定目标TCL状态TCL_1的QCL类型与目标TCL状态TCL_2的QCL类型不同,终端会基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输。
本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法,在目标TCI状态信息包括2个目标TCI状态的情况下,通过判断2个目标TCI状态的QCL类型是否相同来进行数据的相干联合传输,可以有效节约信令资源并提高系统的实用性。
在一个实施例中,当N为2时,即目标TCI状态信息包括2个目标TCI状态时,在步骤120之前,本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法还可以包括:
接收网络设备发送的高层信令;该高层信令用于指示基于目标TCI状态 信息进行数据的相干联合传输。
在目标TCI状态信息包括2个目标TCI状态时,终端可以接收网络设备发送的高层信令,例如RRC信令等,来获得基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输的指示。
当高层信令为RRC信令时,可以在RRC信令中引入例如参数“CJTenable”等,并根据该参数的取值来指示采用相干联合传输。
例如,当参数“CJTenable”的取值为“1”时,则指示采用联合相干传输,当参数“CJTenable”的取值为“0”时,则指示不采用联合相干传输。
本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法,在目标TCI状态信息包括2个目标TCI状态的情况下,通过高层信令来向终端指示进行数据的相干联合传输,可以有效提高系统的实用性。
在一个实施例中,当N大于2时,即目标TCI状态信息包括2个以上的目标TCI状态时,步骤120可以如下至少一种方式实现:
方式A:基于目标TCI状态信息中包括的N个目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输,并基于N个目标TCI状态中指定位置的M个第二TCI状态进行目标信道以及参考信号的传输;
方式B:基于目标TCI状态信息中包括的N个目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输,并基于N个目标TCI状态中各目标TCI状态的QCL类型确定M个第二TCI状态,基于第二TCI状态进行目标信道以及参考信号的传输;
其中,M为小于N的正整数;目标信道为除PDSCH之外的信道。
例如,终端可以接收网络设备发送的MAC-CE信令,该MAC-CE信令可以激活一组或多组TCI状态信息。以表5为例,表5为MAC-CE信令激活的一组TCI状态信息的示例。在表5中,MAC-CE信令激活的一组TCI状态信息包括4个TCI状态信息,其中,每个码点对应一个TCI状态信息,每个TCI状态信息对应最多4个下行TCI状态(表示为TCI)和最多2个上行TCI状态(表示为UTCI)。上行TCI状态用于上行传输。
表5 MAC-CE信令激活TCI状态信息示例表2

DCI信令根据TCI指示域的取值从此激活的TCI状态信息组中选择码点进行TCI状态信息指示。例如,TCI指示域中取值对应码点P1,则网络设备向终端指示了4个下行TCI状态TCI_1、TCI_5、TCI_4和TCI_11,以及2个上行TCI状态UTCI_2和UTCI_6。
PDSCH的相干联合传输可以使用4个下行TCI状态,但5G系统中不支持其他信道(PDCCH(Physical Downlink Control Channel,物理下行控制信道)/PUSCH(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,物理上行共享信道)/PUCCH(Physical Uplink Control Channel,物理上行控制信道))和参考信号(CSI-RS(Channel State Information-Reference Signal,信道状态信息参考信号)/SRS(Sounding Reference Signal,信道探测参考信号))使用多于2个TCI状态。
为了区别不同信道使用的TCI状态,终端可以采用方式A来基于目标TCI状态信息与网络设备进行数据的相干联合传输。
即,系统预定义全部的下行TCI状态用于PDSCH的相干联合传输。例如,PDSCH将使用TCI_1、TCI_5、TCI_4和TCI_11进行联合相干传输。而系统预定义码点中的前两个(即指定位置)下行TCI状态用于PDCCH和CSI-RS的传输,即对于PDCCH/CSI-RS将采用TCI_1和TCI_5进行传输。由于P1对应2个上行TCI状态,则PUSCH/PUCCH/SRS将使用UTCI_2和UTCI_6进行传输。
再以表6为例,表6为MAC-CE信令激活的一组TCI状态信息的示例。在表6中,MAC-CE信令激活的一组TCI状态信息包括4个TCI状态信息,其中,每个码点对应一个TCI状态信息,每个TCI状态信息对应最多4个联合上下行TCI状态(表示为TCI)。
表6 MAC-CE信令激活TCI状态信息示例表3

当TCI指示域中取值对应码点P1时,终端采用方式A来基于目标TCI状态信息与网络设备进行数据的相干联合传输的情况如下:
PDSCH将使用TCI_1、TCI_5、TCI_4和TCI_11进行联合相干传输。系统预定义码点中的前两个联合上下行TCI状态用于其他信道/参考信号的传输,即,对于PDCCH/PUSCH/PUCCH/CSI-RS/SRS将采用TCI_1和TCI_5进行传输。
本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法,在目标TCI状态信息包括2个以上目标TCI状态的情况下,通过使全部的目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输,并使指定位置的第二TCI状态进行目标信道以及参考信号的传输,可以保证PDSCH与目标信道以及参考信号的传输的相对独立性,从提高系统数据传输的灵活性。
需要说明的是,5G系统中支持4种QCL类型,包括QCL类型A/B/C/D,下行TCI状态中包含最多两个QCL类型。系统约定QCL类型B/C不能用于除PDSCH之外的其他信道/参考信号传输。基于此,本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法中,终端还可以采用方式B来基于目标TCI状态信息与网络设备进行数据的相干联合传输。
例如,一种网络设备配置为:
TCI_1中包含QCL类型A+QCL类型D;
TCI_5中包含QCL类型B;
TCI_4中包含QCL类型A+QCL类型D;
TCI_11中包含QCL类型B。
则PDCCH/CSI-RS将采用TCI_1和TCI_4进行传输,PDSCH将使用TCI_1、TCI_5、TCI_4和TCI_11进行联合相干传输。
再例如,一种网络设备配置为:
TCI_1中包含QCL类型A+QCL类型D;
TCI_5中包含QCL类型B+QCL类型D;
TCI_4中包含QCL类型A+QCL类型D;
TCI_11中包含QCL类型B+QCL类型D。
则PDCCH/PUSCH/PUCCH/CSI-RS/SRS将采用TCI_1和TCI_4进行传输,PDSCH将使用TCI_1、TCI_5、TCI_4和TCI_11进行联合相干传输。
从以上示例可以总结出,当采用方式B来基于目标TCI状态信息与网络设备进行数据的相干联合传输时,目标TCI状态信息中的M个第二TCI状态的QCL类型,与目标TCI状态信息中的N个目标TCI状态中剩余的N-M个目标TCI状态的QCL类型不同,并且目标TCI状态信息中的N-M个目标TCI状态的QCL类型为QCL类型B或QCL类型C中的至少一项。
本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法,在目标TCI状态信息包括2个以上目标TCI状态的情况下,通过使全部的目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输,并使具有指定QCL类型的第二TCI状态进行目标信道以及参考信号的传输,可以保证PDSCH与目标信道以及参考信号的传输的相对独立性,从而提高系统数据传输的灵活性。
在一个实施例中,当N大于2时,即目标TCI状态信息包括2个以上的目标TCI状态时,在步骤120之前,本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法,还可以包括:
接收网络设备发送的第二DCI信令,该第二DCI信令包括第三信息域,第三信息域用于指示进行数据的相干联合传输所使用的第一TCI状态;第一TCI状态为N个目标TCI状态中的至少之一。
可以在第二DCI信令中引入第三信息域,该信息域的取值除了指示采用目标TCI状态信息进行相干联合传输,还用于指示采用目标TCI状态信息中的哪些目标TCI状态进行相干联合传输。
例如,当TCI指示域中取值对应表6中的码点P1时,第三信息域可以包含4个比特,其取值可以为例如“0111”,用于指示使用TCI_5、TCI_4和TCI_11进行PDSCH的联合相干传输,其中,“1”用于指示对应的目标TCI状态用 于相干联合传输,“0”用于指示对应的目标TCI状态不用于相干联合传输。第三信息域的取值还可以为例如“0110”,用于指示使用TCI_1和TCI_11进行PDSCH的联合相干传输,其中,“0”用于指示对应的目标TCI状态用于相干联合传输,“1”用于指示对应的目标TCI状态不用于相干联合传输。本公开实施例对第三信息域的取值,以及取值对应的是否使用目标TCI状态的指示不做具体限定。
本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法,通过在目标TCI状态信息包括2个以上目标TCI状态的情况下,通过DCI信令向终端直接指示利用哪些目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输,可以确保在各种场景下都能实现相干联合传输,有效提高了系统的实用性。
在一个实施例中,第三信息域还可以用于指示进行目标信道以及参考信号的传输的第二TCI状态;第二TCI状态为N个目标TCI状态中的至少之一,目标信道为除PDSCH之外的信道。
例如,当TCI指示域中取值对应表6中的码点P1时,第三信息域可以包含8个比特,其中,前4个比特对应采用联合传输对应的目标TCI状态,后4个比特对应其他信道/参考信号使用的TCI状态。例如,第三信息域的取值可以为例如“01110011”,则指示PDSCH将使用TCI_5、TCI_4和TCI_11进行联合相干传输,PDCCH/CSI-RS将采用TCI_4和TCI_11进行传输。
本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法,通过在目标TCI状态信息包括2个以上目标TCI状态的情况下,通过DCI信令向终端直接指示利用哪些目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输,以及利用哪些第二TCI状态进行目标信道以及参考信号的传输,可以确保在各种场景下都能实现相干联合传输,可以保证PDSCH与目标信道以及参考信号的传输的相对独立性,从提高系统数据传输的灵活性。
图2是本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法的流程示意图之二。如图2所示,本公开实施例提供一种相干联合传输方法,其执行主体可以为网络设备,例如基站等。该方法包括:
步骤210、向终端发送MAC-CE信令或第一DCI信令,MAC-CE信令或 第一DCI信令用于指示目标TCI状态信息;
步骤220、基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输;
其中,目标TCI状态信息包括N个目标TCI状态,目标TCI状态为下行TCI状态或者上下行联合TCI状态中的任一种;N为大于1的正整数。
在步骤210中,网络设备可以向终端发送MAC-CE信令,该MAC-CE信令可以激活一组或多组TCI状态信息。以表1为例,表1为MAC-CE信令激活的一组TCI状态信息的示例。在表1中,MAC-CE信令激活的一组TCI状态信息包括8个TCI状态信息,其中,每个码点对应一个TCI状态信息,每个TCI状态信息对应1个或2个(也可以是更多个,表1仅用于示例)目标TCI状态。当目标TCI状态为上下行联合TCI状态时,目标TCI状态既可以用于下行传输,也可以用于上行传输。
表1MAC-CE信令激活TCI状态信息示例表1
需要说明的是,为了保证网络设备与终端之间的相干联合传输,还需要从MAC-CE激活的该组TCI状态信息中确定用于进行数据的相干联合传输的目标TCI状态信息。
此时,网络设备仍可以通过向终端发送MAC-CE来确定将该组TCI状态信息中的哪一个作为目标TCI状态信息。其中,MAC-CE可以是与激活一组或多组TCI状态信息的MAC-CE相同,也可以是网络设备发送给终端的专用MAC-CE。
可选地,网路设备还可以通过向终端发送第一DCI信令,来确定将该组TCI状态信息中的哪一个作为目标TCI状态信息。
例如,第一DCI信令可以根据TCI指示域的取值从激活的TCI状态信息组中选择码点进行TCI状态指示。例如,TCI指示域中取值对应码点P3,则网络设备向终端指示了包含两个目标TCI状态TCI_7和TCI_9的目标TCI状态信息。
需要说明的是,当MAC-CE或者第一DCI指示的目标TCI状态信息包括1个目标TCI状态时,例如包含{TCI_2}的目标TCI状态信息、包含{TCI_3}的目标TCI状态信息等,则终端会直接基于目标TCI状态信息中的单个目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输。
当MAC-CE或者第一DCI指示的目标TCI状态信息包括2个或更多个目标TCI状态时,则网络设备会进一步指示终端是否基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输,和/或具体基于目标TCI状态信息中的哪些目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输。网络设备与终端也可以基于预定的方式,来基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输。
在步骤120中,当向终端指示目标TCI状态信息后,网络设备会基于该目标TCI状态信息,来与终端进行数据的相干联合传输。即,网络设备会基于目标TCI状态信息中的一个或多个目标TCI状态,使用多个TRP同时与终端进行同一数据流的传输。
本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法,通过MAC-CE信令或DCI信令向终端指示目标TCI状态信息,以便终端和网络设备基于目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输,可以实现multi-TRP场景下数据的相干联合传输,提高了通信系统的数据传输性能和灵活性。
在一个实施例中,当N为2时,即目标TCI状态信息包括2个目标TCI状态时,需要网络设备进一步指示终端是否基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输,和/或具体基于目标TCI状态信息中的哪些目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输,因此在步骤120之前,本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法还可以包括:

当然,还可以将目标参数的取值设置为1时表示不采用相干联合传输,设置为0时表示采用相干联合传输。本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。

可以将第二DCI信令中的现有的一个或多个信息域的特殊取值,用于指示相干联合传输。例如采用RV域、NDI域、HARQ进程数域中的一个或多个的取值的组合来指示相干联合传输。
需要说明的是,第二DCI信令可以是与指示目标TCI状态信息的第一DCI信令相同的DCI信令,也可以是网络设备发送给终端的专用DCI信令。
即,在N为2的情况下,网络设备可以向终端发送第一DCI信令,第一DCI信令用于指示目标TCI状态信息,并且还通过上述至少一种方式向终端指示基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输,和/或基于目标TCI状态信息中的哪些目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输。或者,网络设备可以在向终端发送第一DCI信令之后,再向终端发送的第二DCI信令,该第二DCI信令通过上述至少一种方式向终端指示基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输,和/或基于目标TCI状态信息中的哪些目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输。
本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法,在目标TCI状态信息包括2个目标TCI状态的情况下,通过DCI信令以各种方式向终端指示进行数据的相干联合传输,可以确保在各种场景下都能实现在目标TCI状态信息包括2个目标TCI状态条件下的相干联合传输,有效提高了系统的实用性。
在一个实施例中,当N为2时,即目标TCI状态信息包括2个目标TCI状态时,在步骤120之前,所述方法还包括:
确定2个目标TCI状态的QCL(Quasi Co-Location,准共址)类型不同。
需要说明的是,5G系统中支持4种QCL类型,包括QCL类型A/B/C/D,下行TCI状态中包含最多两个QCL类型。
例如,目标TCI状态包括2个目标TCL状态TCL_1和TCL_2:TCI_1中包含QCL类型A,TCI_2中包含QCL类型B,则此时可以确定目标TCL状态TCL_1的QCL类型与目标TCL状态TCL_2的QCL类型不同,网络设备会基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输。
又例如,TCI_1中包含QCL类型A+QCL类型D,TCI_2中包含QCL类型B+QCL类型D,则此时同样可以确定目标TCL状态TCL_1的QCL类型与目标TCL状态TCL_2的QCL类型不同,网络设备会基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输。
本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法,在目标TCI状态信息包括2个 目标TCI状态的情况下,通过判断2个目标TCI状态的QCL类型是否相同来进行数据的相干联合传输,可以有效节约信令资源并提高系统的实用性。
在一个实施例中,当N为2时,即目标TCI状态信息包括2个目标TCI状态时,在步骤120之前,本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法还可以包括:
通过高层信令向终端发送高层信令;该高层信令用于指示终端基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输。
在目标TCI状态信息包括2个目标TCI状态时,网络设备可以向终端发送高层信令,例如RRC信令等,来指示基于目标TCI状态信息进行数据的相干联合传输。
当高层信令为RRC信令时,可以在RRC信令中引入例如参数“CJTenable”等,并根据该参数的取值来指示采用相干联合传输。
例如,当参数“CJTenable”的取值为“1”时,则指示采用联合相干传输,当参数“CJTenable”的取值为“0”时,则指示不采用联合相干传输。
本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法,在目标TCI状态信息包括2个目标TCI状态的情况下,通过高层信令来向终端指示进行数据的相干联合传输,可以有效提高系统的实用性。
在一个实施例中,当N大于2时,即目标TCI状态信息包括2个以上的目标TCI状态时,步骤120可以如下至少一种方式实现:
方式A:基于目标TCI状态信息中包括的N个目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输,并基于N个目标TCI状态中指定位置的M个第二TCI状态进行目标信道以及参考信号的传输;
方式B:基于目标TCI状态信息中包括的N个目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输,并基于N个目标TCI状态中各目标TCI状态的QCL(Quasi Co-Location,准共址)类型确定M个第二TCI状态,基于第二TCI状态进行目标信道以及参考信号的传输;
其中,M为小于N的正整数;目标信道为除PDSCH之外的信道。
例如,网络设备可以向终端发送MAC-CE信令,该MAC-CE信令可以 激活一组或多组TCI状态信息。以表5为例,表5为MAC-CE信令激活的一组TCI状态信息的示例。在表5中,MAC-CE信令激活的一组TCI状态信息包括4个TCI状态信息,其中,每个码点对应一个TCI状态信息,每个TCI状态信息对应最多4个下行TCI状态(表示为TCI)和最多2个上行TCI状态(表示为UTCI)。上行TCI状态用于上行传输。
表5MAC-CE信令激活TCI状态信息示例表2
DCI信令根据TCI指示域的取值从此激活的TCI状态信息组中选择码点进行TCI状态信息指示。例如,TCI指示域中取值对应码点P1,则网络设备向终端指示了4个下行TCI状态TCI_1、TCI_5、TCI_4和TCI_11,以及2个上行TCI状态UTCI_2和UTCI_6。
PDSCH的相干联合传输可以使用4个下行TCI状态,但5G系统中不支持其他信道(PDCCH(Physical Downlink Control Channel,物理下行控制信道)/PUSCH(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,物理上行共享信道)/PUCCH(Physical Uplink Control Channel,物理上行控制信道))和参考信号(CSI-RS(Channel State Information-Reference Signal,信道状态信息参考信号)/SRS(Sounding Reference Signal,信道探测参考信号))使用多于2个TCI状态。
为了区别不同信道使用的TCI状态,网络设备可以采用方式A来基于目标TCI状态信息与终端进行数据的相干联合传输。
即,系统预定义全部的下行TCI状态用于PDSCH的相干联合传输。例如,PDSCH将使用TCI_1、TCI_5、TCI_4和TCI_11进行联合相干传输。而系统预定义码点中的前两个(即指定位置)下行TCI状态用于PDCCH和CSI-RS的传输,即对于PDCCH/CSI-RS将采用TCI_1和TCI_5进行传输。由于P1对应2个上行TCI状态,则PUSCH/PUCCH/SRS将使用UTCI_2和 UTCI_6进行传输。
再以表6为例,表6为MAC-CE信令激活的一组TCI状态信息的示例。在表6中,MAC-CE信令激活的一组TCI状态信息包括4个TCI状态信息,其中,每个码点对应一个TCI状态信息,每个TCI状态信息对应最多4个联合上下行TCI状态(表示为TCI)。
表6MAC-CE信令激活TCI状态信息示例表3
当TCI指示域中取值对应码点P1时,网络设备采用方式A来基于目标TCI状态信息与终端进行数据的相干联合传输的情况如下:
PDSCH将使用TCI_1、TCI_5、TCI_4和TCI_11进行联合相干传输。系统预定义码点中的前两个联合上下行TCI状态用于其他信道/参考信号的传输,即,对于PDCCH/PUSCH/PUCCH/CSI-RS/SRS将采用TCI_1和TCI_5进行传输。
本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法,在目标TCI状态信息包括2个以上目标TCI状态的情况下,通过使全部的目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输,并使指定位置的第二TCI状态进行目标信道以及参考信号的传输,可以保证PDSCH与目标信道以及参考信号的传输的相对独立性,从提高系统数据传输的灵活性。
需要说明的是,5G系统中支持4种QCL类型,包括QCL类型A/B/C/D,下行TCI状态中包含最多两个QCL类型。系统约定QCL类型B/C不能用于除PDSCH之外的其他信道/参考信号传输。基于此,本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法中,网络设备还可以采用方式B来基于目标TCI状态信息与终端进行数据的相干联合传输。
例如,一种网络设备配置为:
TCI_1中包含QCL类型A+QCL类型D;
TCI_5中包含QCL类型B;
TCI_4中包含QCL类型A+QCL类型D;
TCI_11中包含QCL类型B。
则PDCCH/CSI-RS将采用TCI_1和TCI_4进行传输,PDSCH将使用TCI_1、TCI_5、TCI_4和TCI_11进行联合相干传输。
再例如,一种网络设备配置为:
TCI_1中包含QCL类型A+QCL类型D;
TCI_5中包含QCL类型B+QCL类型D;
TCI_4中包含QCL类型A+QCL类型D;
TCI_11中包含QCL类型B+QCL类型D。
则PDCCH/PUSCH/PUCCH/CSI-RS/SRS将采用TCI_1和TCI_4进行传输,PDSCH将使用TCI_1、TCI_5、TCI_4和TCI_11进行联合相干传输。
从以上示例可以总结出,当采用方式B来基于目标TCI状态信息与网络设备进行数据的相干联合传输时,目标TCI状态信息中的M个第二TCI状态的QCL类型,与目标TCI状态信息中的N个目标TCI状态中剩余的N-M个目标TCI状态的QCL类型不同,并且目标TCI状态信息中的N-M个目标TCI状态的QCL类型为QCL类型B或QCL类型C中的至少一项。
本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法,在目标TCI状态信息包括2个以上目标TCI状态的情况下,通过使全部的目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输,并使具有指定QCL类型的第二TCI状态进行目标信道以及参考信号的传输,可以保证PDSCH与目标信道以及参考信号的传输的相对独立性,从而提高系统数据传输的灵活性。
在一个实施例中,当N大于2时,即目标TCI状态信息包括2个以上的目标TCI状态时,在步骤120之前,本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法,还可以包括:
向终端发送第二DCI信令,该第二DCI信令包括第三信息域,第三信息域用于指示进行数据的相干联合传输所使用的第一TCI状态;第一TCI状态 为N个目标TCI状态中的至少之一。
可以在第二DCI信令中引入第三信息域,该信息域的取值除了指示采用目标TCI状态信息进行相干联合传输,还用于指示采用目标TCI状态信息中的哪些目标TCI状态进行相干联合传输。
例如,当TCI指示域中取值对应表6中的码点P1时,第三信息域可以包含4个比特,其取值可以为例如“0111”,用于指示使用TCI_5、TCI_4和TCI_11进行PDSCH的联合相干传输,其中,“1”用于指示对应的目标TCI状态用于相干联合传输,“0”用于指示对应的目标TCI状态不用于相干联合传输。第三信息域的取值还可以为例如“0110”,用于指示使用TCI_1和TCI_11进行PDSCH的联合相干传输,其中,“0”用于指示对应的目标TCI状态用于相干联合传输,“1”用于指示对应的目标TCI状态不用于相干联合传输。本公开实施例对第三信息域的取值,以及取值对应的是否使用目标TCI状态的指示不做具体限定。
本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法,通过在目标TCI状态信息包括2个以上目标TCI状态的情况下,通过DCI信令向终端直接指示利用哪些目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输,可以确保在各种场景下都能实现相干联合传输,有效提高了系统的实用性。
在一个实施例中,第三信息域还可以用于指示进行目标信道以及参考信号的传输的第二TCI状态;第二TCI状态为N个目标TCI状态中的至少之一,目标信道为除PDSCH之外的信道。
例如,当TCI指示域中取值对应表6中的码点P1时,第三信息域可以包含8个比特,其中,前4个比特对应采用联合传输对应的目标TCI状态,后4个比特对应其他信道/参考信号使用的TCI状态。例如,第三信息域的取值可以为例如“01110011”,则指示PDSCH将使用TCI_5、TCI_4和TCI_11进行联合相干传输,PDCCH/CSI-RS将采用TCI_4和TCI_11进行传输。
本公开实施例提供的相干联合传输方法,通过在目标TCI状态信息包括2个以上目标TCI状态的情况下,通过DCI信令向终端直接指示利用哪些目标TCI状态进行数据的相干联合传输,以及利用哪些第二TCI状态进行目标 信道以及参考信号的传输,可以确保在各种场景下都能实现相干联合传输,可以保证PDSCH与目标信道以及参考信号的传输的相对独立性,从提高系统数据传输的灵活性。
