本申请涉及无线通信领域,尤其涉及上行功控方法及通信装置。
在下行(downlink,DL)的协作联合传输(coordinated joint transmission,CJT)中,多个网络设备可以同时在同一时频资源上向同一个终端设备发送相同的数据,并且承载该数据的多路信号经过各自的空间传播路径到达终端设备时需要是相干叠加的,从而可以提升终端设备的接收性能。其中,为保证多路信号到达终端设备时是相干叠加的,彼此协作传输的多个网络设备需要获取下行信道信息。
为解决该问题,彼此协作传输的多个网络设备可以在同一个时频资源上接收终端设备发送的参考信号以获取上行信道信息,并根据上行信道信息确定下行信道信息。然而,现有的终端设备的上行功控方案无法满足协作传输的多个网络设备获取信道信息的接收需求。因此,如何优化终端设备的上行功控方案以满足协作传输的多个网络设备获取信道信息的接收需求,是目前亟待解决的问题。

为方便理解本申请实施例提供的技术方案,首先给出本申请相关技术的简要介绍。简要介绍如下:
第一,新无线(new radio,NR)系统的时频域资源
目前,在NR系统的上行(uplink,UL)和DL的传输方案中,均可以使用正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,OFDM)技术。其中,UL传输可以是指终端设备向网络设备发送上行信号。DL传输可以是指网络设备向终端设备发送下行信号。OFDM技术的原理为:在频域内划分多个子信道,将待传输的数据进行串并转换,得到并行传输的多组数据,之后将每组数据调制到每个子信道的子载波(subcarrier)上进行传输。因此在时域上,待传输的数据通过多个在空间中叠加的子载波进行传输,其中多个子载波之间彼此正交,进而接收时可以将多个子载波分离,之后分别对每个子载波进行解调,从而得到待传输的数据。也就是说,NR系统中的最小频域资源为1个子载波,最小的时域资源为1个OFDM符号。
1.1、通用概念
NR系统的时域以时间单位Tc=1/(Δfmax·Nf)表示。其中,Δfmax=480×103Hz,Nf=4096。
常数κ=Ts/Tc=64。其中,Ts=1/(Δfref·Nf,ref),Δfref=15×103Hz,Nf,ref=2048。
1.2、参数集(numerology)
NR系统支持的参数集如表1所示。在表1中,第一列为子载波间隔(subcarrier space,SCS)配置μ,第二列表示子载波间隔。
表1
1.3、时域资源
NR系统中的上行传输可以组成多个无线帧(frame)。其中,每个无线帧的持续时间为Tf=(ΔfmaxNf/100)=10ms。每个无线帧可以由十个持续时间为Tsf=(ΔfmaxNf/1000)=1ms的子帧组
成。一个无线帧内的10个子帧可以顺序排列。示例性的,一个无线帧内的10个子帧的先后排序可以为:子帧#0~子帧#9。可以理解,子帧#0~子帧#9中的编号和先后顺序仅是示例性的,例如编号的起始还可以是#1,进而一个无线帧包括子帧#1~子帧#10。又例如10个子帧的先后排序可以是降序的,进而一个无线帧包括子帧#9~子帧#0,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
在一个时隙内包括14个OFDM符号的情况下,OFDM符号可以按时间先后排序为:OFDM符号#0~OFDM符号#13。
表2
表3
1.4、频域资源
NR系统中,根据频域资源的大小可以分为资源元素(resource element,RE)、资源块(resource block,RB)、以及带宽部分(bandwidth part,BWP),下面分别介绍。
1.4.1、RE
在NR系统中可以将频域上的一个子载波,时域上的一个OFDM符号定义为RE。其中,RE是物理层最小粒度的资源。
1.4.2、RB
在频域内,无论子载波间隔是多少,NR系统可以将12个连续的子载波定义为一个RB。其中,在物理层中,RB可以称为物理资源块(physical resource block,PRB)。
1.4.3、BWP
NR系统可以支持终端设备仅工作在系统带宽中的一部分,即BWP。或者,BWP可以是一个小区支持的一个载波对应的频域资源内的多个RB。示例性的,网络设备(例如NR系统中的下一代无线接入网(next-generation radio access network,NG-RAN)设备)覆盖的一个小区可以支持2个载波频率(以下简称载波#1和载波#2),该小区分别为载波#1分配40MHz的带宽和载波#2分配60MHz的带宽,BWP可以是载波#1对应的40MHz带宽中的20MHz带宽,该20MHz带宽包括多个RB,终端设备可以仅在BWP上工作。
在NR系统中,终端设备通过初始接入过程接入网络之后,网络可以通过高层信令为终端设备配置工作BWP,每个终端设备可以配置1~4个BWP,但在任意时刻仅有一个BWP是激活的。除无线资源管理(radio resource management,RRM)测量之外,终端设备仅在激活BWP上收发数据。
应理解,本申请实施例中,“载波频率”、“载波”、“载频”、以及“频点”之间含义相同。换言之,“载波频率”、“载波”、“载频”、以及“频点”之间可以相互替换表述,在此统一说明,以下不再赘述。
还应理解,本申请实施例中,“编号”与“索引”之间含义相同。换言之,“编号”与“索引”之间可以相互替换表述,在此统一说明,以下不再赘述。
第二,参考信号
本申请实施例中,参考信号可以包括上行参考信号和下行参考信号。其中,上行参考信号可以用于获取上行信道信息,下行参考信号可以用于获取下行信道信息。
可选地,上行参考信号还可以用于确定下行信道信息。其中,对于具有上下行信道互易性的通信系统(例如时分双工(time division duplex,TDD)通信系统),由于上行传输和下行传输采用同一个信道,进而通过上行参考信号获取的上行信道信息,可以确定下行信道信息。
可选地,上行参考信号可以包括:探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS)、定位探测参考信号(positioning SRS)、上行解调参考信号(UL demodulation reference signal,UL-DMRS)、或者未来的其他上行参考信号等,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
可选地,下行参考信号可以包括:同步信号/物理层广播信道块(synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block,SSB)、信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS)、DL-DMRS、跟踪参考信号(tracking reference signal,TRS)、定位参考信号(positioning reference signal,PRS)、或者未来的其他下行参考信号等,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
第三,参考信号配置
本申请实施例中,参考信号配置可以包括接收或发送参考信号的相关参数。其中,参考信号配置可以包括终端设备发送或接收参考信号的资源。该资源可以包括时域资源和/或频域资源。
下面在介绍参考信号资源之前,先介绍波束和天线端口(antenna port)。
在NR系统中,引入波束的概念。其中,波束是一种通信资源。波束可以是宽波束,或者窄波束,或者其他类型波束。形成波束的技术可以是波束成形技术或者其他技术手段。波束成形技术可以具体为数字波束成形技术,模拟波束成形技术,混合数字/模拟波束成形技术。不同的波束可以认为是不同的资源。通过不同的波束可以发送相同的信息或者不同的信息。可选地,可以将具有相同或者类似的通信特征的多个波束视为是一个波束。一个波束可以由一个或多个天线端口所形成,用于传输数据信道,控制信道和参考信号等。例如,发射波束可以是指信号经天线发射出去后在空间不同方向上形成的信号强度的分布,接收波束可以是指天线阵列对无线信号在空间不同方向上进行加强或削弱接收的分布。可以理解,形成一个波束的一个或多个天线端口也可以看作是一个天线端口集。在目前的NR协议中,波束可通过天线端口准共址(quasi colocation,QCL)关系体现,具体地,两个同波束的信号具有关于空域接收参数(spatial Rx parameter)的QCL关系,即协议中的QCL-Type D:{spatial Rx parameter}。波束在协议中具体地可以通过各种信号的标识来表示,例如CSI-RS的资源标识(identity,ID),SSB的资源ID,TRS的资源ID,PRS的资源ID、或者SRS的资源ID等。
还应理解,上述天线端口是一个逻辑上的概念,它与物理天线并没有一一对应的关系,天线端口是由发射一个信号或信号流的一个或多个物理天线形成的逻辑单元。其中,天线端口可以通过参考信号区分:在DL传输中,下行信道与下行参考信号一一对应;在UL传输中,上行信道与上行参考信号一一对应。如果通过多根物理天线来传输一个参考信号,那么该多根物理天线对应同一天线端口;如果两个不同的参考信号通过同一物理根天线传输,那么该天线对应两个独立的天线端口。示例性的,对应CSI-RS的天线端口可以称为CSI-RS端口,对应SRS的天线端口可以称为SRS端口。
也就是说,经由天线端口发送的信号所经历的信道,可以通过天线端口对应的参考信号来估计。
可以理解,由于波束在协议中具体地可以通过各种信号的标识来表示,因此NR系统中可以使用参考信号资源用于表示波束。其中,参考信号可以是以资源的形式配置的,一个参考信号资源即为一个配置单元。参考信号配置可以包括多个配置单元,即多个参考信号资源。下面以SRS配置为例,介绍参考信号配置。
SRS配置:包括一个或多个SRS资源集(resource set),或者一个或多个SRS资源。其中,一个SRS资源集可以包括一个或多个SRS资源。一个SRS资源可以包括以下一项或多项:
(1)、天线端口数:在NR系统中,一个SRS资源可以配置1个、2个、4个、或者8个天线端口(以下称为SRS端口)。
(2)、时域位置:可以包括占用的OFDM符号的索引、或者起始位置等。其中,OFDM符
号的索引可以指示SRS资源占用的OFDM符号的个数,一个SRS资源可以配置1个、2个、4个、8个或者12个OFDM符号,起始位置可以由字段startPosition给出。
(3)、频域位置:可以包括占用的RB的索引。其中,在NR系统中,一个SRS资源可以占用4-272个RB。
(4)、时域类型:在NR系统中,SRS资源可以分为周期(periodic)、半持续(semi-persistent)、或者非周期(aperiodic)几种类型。其中,对于半持续性或者周期性的UL-SRS资源,SRS资源可以包括为终端设备指定的周期以及时隙偏移索引(或者称为时隙偏移量)。
可选地,SRS资源集还可以包括SRS资源集标识(例如SRS resource set ID),SRS资源还包括SRS资源标识(例如SRS resource ID)、SRS传输的重复因子(字段repetitionFactor)、SRS资源在频域上的偏移、以及SRS资源的调频配置等,具体描述可以参见技术规范(technology standard,TS)38.211,在此不再赘述。
应理解,在使用SRS获取下行信道信息的情况下,网络设备需要得到终端设备每个接收天线的信道信息,进而每个SRS端口对应终端设备的一个接收天线。其中,终端设备的天线配置可以包括两种类型,一种是发射天线的个数与接收天线的个数相等,即n个发射天线与n个接收天线(简称为nTnR),另一种是发射天线的个数与接收天线的个数不相等(简称为nTmR,n≠m)。
可选地,对于nTnR配置的终端设备,一个SRS资源可以配置n个SRS端口,每个SRS端口与终端设备的每个接收/发送天线相对应。其中,示例性的,对于4T4R配置的终端设备,一个SRS资源配置包括4个SRS端口。
可选地,对于nTmR配置的终端设备,通常配置m/n个SRS资源,m/n个SRS资源可以对应终端设备的m个接收天线,每个SRS资源可以配置n个SRS端口。其中,示例性的,对于2T4R配置的终端设备,可以配置2个SRS资源,该2个SRS资源可以对应终端设备的4个接收天线,每个SRS资源可以配置2个SRS端口。
应理解,上述参考信号配置可以是由网络配置。其中,网络设备可以通过高层信令向终端设备发送上行参考信号配置和下行参考信号配置。高层信令例如可以是无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令,或者媒体访问控制(media access control,MAC)层信令,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
第四,上行功控方案
终端设备可以在配置的激活BWP上发送上行参考信号。下面以终端设备发送SRS为例,说明现有上行功控方案。
TS 38.213中定义了终端设备发送SRS的发送功率。其中,终端设备在发送时机i、服务小区c、载波频率f、以及激活BWP b上发送SRS的发送功率PSRS,b,f,c(i,qs,l)可以由公式(1)确定。发送时机为SRS资源中SRS的时域位置,i可以为无线帧内SRS的时域位置的索引(例如时隙索引或符号索引)。c可以为服务小区的标识。f为服务小区c的载波频率。b为激活BWP的索引。qs为SRS资源集的索引或SRS资源集ID。l为功控状态的索引。
其中,公式(1)中的各参数定义如下:
PCMAX,f,c(i):表示终端设备在发送时机i、服务小区c、以及载波频率f上配置的最大发送功率,PCMAX,f,c(i)与终端设备的发送能力,以及载波频率/服务小区有关。
PO_SRS,b,f,c(qs):表示标称功率或功率基准值,是网络设备所期望的目标接收功率值。其中,PO_SRS,b,f,c(qs)可以根据高层信令配置的参数集合确定。
μ:表示子载波间隔配置。
MSRS,b,f,c(i):表示在发送时机i、服务小区c、载波频率f、以及激活BWP b上,SRS资源占用的RB个数,MSRS,b,f,c(i)可以由当前激活BWP b的带宽以及μ确定。
αSRS,b,f,c(qs):表示SRS在服务小区c、载波频率f、以及激活BWP b上对应的路损补偿因子。其中,αSRS,b,f,c(qs)取值范围可以是[0,1],例如{0,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,1}。αSRS,b,f,c(qs)可以由RRC
信令配置。示例性的,αSRS,b,f,c(qs)可以由参数Alpha指示,Alpha::=ENUMERATED{alpha0,alpha04,alpha05,alpha06,alpha07,alpha08,alpha09,alpha1},Alpha是RRC变量名称,ENUMERATED表征αSRS,b,f,c(qs)的量化值。可以理解,通过配置αSRS,b,f,c(qs)对应的量化值的方式,可以减少αSRS,b,f,c(qs)的指示开销。
PLb,f,c(qd):表示SRS在服务小区c、载波频率f、以及激活BWP b上对应的路损补偿值,单位为分贝(dB)。其中,PLb,f,c(qd)可以是路损参考信号(path loss reference signal,PL-RS)的索引qd对应的路损测量值,并且PLb,f,c(qd)为大于0的值。路损参考信号可以是上文“参考信号”中的下行参考信号,例如SSB或者CSI-RS。每个路损参考信号的索引qd可以映射到一个路损参考信号资源的索引。示例性的,一个路损参考信号的索引qd可以映射到一个SSB资源的索引,SSB资源的索引可以由参数ssb-Index配置;或者,一个路损参考信号的索引qd可以映射到一个CSI-RS资源的索引,CSI-RS资源的索引可以由参数csi-RS-Index配置。
其中,路损测量值Pathloss可以通过公式(2)确定,公式(2)如下:
Pathloss=referenceSignalPower-higher layer filtered RSRP 公式(2)
Pathloss=referenceSignalPower-higher layer filtered RSRP 公式(2)
在公式(2)中,参数referenceSignalPower表示高层信令配置的路损参考信号对应的下行参考信号的发送功率。参数higher layer filtered RSRP表示终端设备接收该下行参考信号时经过高层滤波后的接收功率。
可以理解,路损参考信号的索引qd与路损参考信号资源ID之间可以一一对应。也就是说,可以根据路损参考信号资源ID确定路损参考信号的索引qd,或者可以根据路损参考信号的索引qd确定路损参考信号资源ID。
αSRS,b,f,c(qs)·PLb,f,c(qd):表示PLb,f,c(qd)对应的实际路损补偿值。
hb,f,c(i,l):表示SRS在服务小区c、载波频率f、激活BWP b上的闭环控制参数。其中,闭环控制参数是网络设备通过下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)指示的动态功率调整量。SRS的功率控制可以遵从物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH)对应的闭环功控指示,也可以通过单独的闭环功控指示确定,具体可以参见TS 38.213中的相关描述,在此不再赘述。
应理解,上述上行功控方案中,路损补偿值PLb,f,c(qd)是根据测量一个小区或者一个网络设备对应的路损参考信号确定的。也就是说,该路损补偿值PLb,f,c(qd)对应的是终端设备与一个网络设备之间的路损补偿值。
第五,下行CJT
本申请实施例中,下行CJT可以是指多个网络设备(还可以称为站点)同时在相同的时频资源上向同一个终端设备发送相同的数据,并且承载该数据的多路信号在经过各自的空间传播路径到达终端设备时需要是相干叠加的,从而提升该终端设备的接收性能。其中,相干叠加可以是指多路信号同向叠加,增加终端设备接收信号的功率,进而获得功率增益,从而可以提升终端设备的接收性能。
可以理解,为保证多路信号的相干叠加,应减小多路信号之间的相位差和/频偏。这就需要彼此协作传输的多个网络设备获取各自对应的下行信道信息,并分别对待发送数据进行处理,以减少多路信号之间的相位差和/或频偏。例如,每个网络设备可以采用预编码技术,借助与各自下行信道信息相匹配的预编码矩阵来对待发送数据进行处理,使得经过预编码的待发送数据与相干叠加的需求相适配,消除相位差和/或频偏的影响,从而保证多路信号到达终端设备时是相干叠加的。此外,考虑到信道对相位和频率的影响会随时间和频率发生变化,每个网络设备对应的下行信道信息需要是测量同一时频资源上的参考信号得到的。
为保证彼此协作传输的多个网络设备可以获取各自对应的下行信道信息,可以利用上下行信道互易性,通过终端设备发送的上行参考信号获取下行信道信息。具体为:终端设备发送用于下行信道测量的上行参考信号(例如SRS),彼此协作传输的多个网络设备可以在同一个时频资源上接收终端设备的上行参考信号,进而获取上行信道信息,并根据上行信道信息确定下行信道信息。
然而,如上文“上行功控方案”所述,现有的上行参考信号的发送功率是由一个小区或网络
设备下发的路损参考信号确定的,仅能满足其中一个网络设备获取信道信息的接收需求,无法满足协作传输的多个网络设备获取信道信息的接收需求,若无法满足协作传输的多个网络设备获取信道信息的接收需求,则无法保证彼此协作传输的多个网络设备可以获取各自对应的信道信息,进而无法保证多路信号是相干叠加的。
进一步的,以图1所示的CJT场景中的SRS传输为例说明。其中,如图1所示,网络设备#1和网络设备#2是CJT场景中的两个协作网络设备,终端设备#1是CJT场景中的目标终端设备,即网络设备#1和网络设备#2同时在相同的时频资源上向终端设备#1发送相同的数据,终端设备#2为不参与CJT的终端设备,但网络设备#1为终端设备#2提供服务。终端设备#1与网络设备#1之间的路损补偿值PLb,f,c(qd)为路损补偿值#1,终端设备#1与网络设备#2之间的路损补偿值PLb,f,c(qd)为路损补偿值#2。假设终端设备#1与网络设备#1之间的无线传播环境较好(路损较小),终端设备#1与网络设备#2之间的无线传播环境较差(路损较大),因此路损补偿值#1小于路损补偿值#2。当终端设备#1发送的SRS经过空口信道分别到达网络设备#1和网络设备#2时,如果终端设备#1根据路损补偿值#1确定SRS的发送功率,该SRS的发送功率可以满足网络设备#1的接收需求,但该SRS的发送功率对于网络设备#2偏小(例如信噪比(signal-to-noise ratio,SNR)过低),不满足网络设备#2的SNR接收需求;如果终端设备#1根据路损补偿值#2确定SRS的发送功率,该SRS的发送功率可以满足网络设备#2的接收需求,但该SRS的发送功率对于网络设备#1偏大,可能会淹没终端设备#2发送的信号,即SRS的发送功率过大会增加网络设备#1接收其他终端设备的信号的干扰,不满足网络设备#1的干扰接收需求。
基于此,本申请实施例提供一种上行功控方法,可以优化终端设备的上行功控方案以满足协作传输的多个网络设备获取信道信息的接收需求。
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述。
为了便于理解本申请实施例,在介绍本申请实施例之前,先做出以下几点说明。
1、为方便理解和说明,首先对本申请实施例中涉及到的主要参数分别说明如下:
PLb,f,c(Qd1,Qd2,…,Qdn):可以表示路损补偿值。其中,Qd1,Qd2,…,Qdn中的Qdi为第i个路损参考信号的索引,i∈{1,2,…,n},n为上行信号关联的多个路损参考信号中路损参考信号的个数,n为大于1的整数。路损补偿值可以是实际路损补偿值,在路损补偿值为实际路损补偿值的情况下,PLb,f,c(Qd1,Qd2,…,Qdn)可以表示实际路损补偿值。
α:可以表示总路损补偿因子,α的取值范围为[0,1]。
α·PLb,f,c(Qd1,Qd2,…,Qdn):在路损补偿值不是实际路损补偿值的情况下,可以表示实际路损补偿值。
P:可以表示目标发送功率。
路损补偿比例系数:路损补偿比例系数包括第一路损补偿比例系数或第二路损补偿比例系数。其中,第i个路损参考信号对应的第一路损补偿比例系数可以使用表示,第i个路损参考信号对应的第二路损补偿比例系数可以使用αi表示。
2、在本申请实施例中,为便于描述,在涉及编号时,可以从1开始连续编号。例如多个路损参考信号的索引为Qd1,Qd2,…,Qdn。以此类推,多个路损参考信号中每个路损参考信号对应的第一路损比例系数为这里不再一一举例说明。当然,具体实现时不限于此,例如,也可以从0开始连续编号。例如多个路损参考信号的索引为Qd0,Qd1,…,Qdn-1。应理解,上文所述均为便于描述本申请实施例提供的技术方案而进行的设置,而并非用于限制本申请的范围。
3、本申请实施例中,多个参数涉及“服务小区c、载波频率f、以及激活BWP b”,例如路损补偿值PLb,f,c(Qd1,Qd2,…,Qdn)。由于“服务小区c、载波频率f、以及激活BWP b”与发送上行信号的时频资源有关,因此在限定为上行信号对应的参数的情况下,对涉及“服务小区c、载波频率f、以及激活BWP b”的参数进行描述时,可以不用对“服务小区c、载波频率f、以及激活BWP b”进行重复描述,例如“PLb,f,c(Qd1,Qd2,…,Qdn)”与“PL(Qd1,Qd2,…,Qdn)”可以相互替换表述。
4、在本申请实施例中,“指示”可以包括直接指示和间接指示,也可以包括显式指示和隐式指示。将某一信息(如下文的第一指示信息)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。
此外,具体的指示方式还可以是现有各种指示方式,例如但不限于,上述指示方式及其各种组合等。各种指示方式的具体细节可以参考现有技术,本文不再赘述。由上文所述可知,举例来说,当需要指示相同类型的多个信息时,可能会出现不同信息的指示方式不相同的情形。具体实现过程中,可以根据具体的需要选择所需的指示方式,本申请实施例对选择的指示方式不做限定,如此一来,本申请实施例涉及的指示方式应理解为涵盖可以使得待指示方获知待指示信息的各种方法。
应理解,待指示信息可以作为一个整体一起发送,也可以分成多个子信息分开发送,而且这些子信息的发送周期和/或发送时机可以相同,也可以不同。具体发送方法本申请实施例不进行限定。其中,这些子信息的发送周期和/或发送时机可以是预先定义的,例如根据协议预先定义的,也可以是发射端设备通过向接收端设备发送配置信息来配置的。其中,该配置信息可以例如但不限于包括无线资源控制信令,例如RRC信令、MAC层信令、物理层信令、或者DCI中的一种或者至少两种的组合。
5、“预先定义”或“预先配置”可以通过在设备(例如,包括终端设备和第一网络设备)中预先保存相应的代码、表格或其他可用于指示相关信息的方式来实现,本申请实施例对于其具体的实现方式不做限定。其中,“保存”可以是指,保存在一个或者多个存储器中。所述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。所述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,本申请实施例并不对此限定。
