Description

Resource indication method, resource determination method, device, base station and terminal

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a resource indication method, a resource determination method, a device, a base station, and a terminal.

Background

In the PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) resource indication in LTE (long term evolution), an implicit resource indication method is used for a PUCCH (ACK (acknowledgement or response)/NACK (not acknowledgement or not response)), that is, a PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) scheduling a PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) is used, a minimum CCE (Control Channel Element) corresponds to a specific PUCCH resource, the minimum CCE is also referred to as a starting CCE, and when ACK/NACK is fed back, the PUCCH resource is used to transmit an ACK/NACK signal. Therefore, at the time of initial access, the PDCCH scheduling message4 (message 4) is mapped to one PUCCH resource to carry ACK/NACK feedback. As shown in fig. 1, M1-M4 represents 4 steps of initial access, respectively corresponding to 4 messages (message1, message2, message3, and message4), and for message4, ACK/NACK signal is transmitted in the following PUCCH.

In the technical discussion of 5G NR (5G air interface), there are two PUCCH Resource indication methods currently, one is an explicit indication method, that is, a Resource set (Resource set) allocated to a terminal UE is indicated by using an RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling, and then a specific Resource index (index) is notified to the terminal by using downlink Control information DCI; another method is an implicit resource indication method, that is, an LTE method is used, and an index number of the corresponding minimum CCE of the PDCCH is mapped to a specific PUCCH resource. The two methods have advantages and disadvantages respectively, the dominant method is more flexible, and the recessive method can save signaling overhead.

In the PUCCH resource indication of the initially accessed message4, there are some methods currently, but the basic idea is to use system Information in combination with DCI (Downlink Control Information) indication or in combination with a random access response message RAR to indicate, but there is no clear step of how to use an indication field of the system Information, how to use the indication Information of the corresponding DCI, and how to combine implicit indication, so these methods are not complete. If the RAR indication method is adopted, the channel structure of the RAR needs to be adjusted greatly, and only one group of users can be indicated, so that the method has a great defect.

In summary, the existing resource method for message4 has no signaling framework that is the same as the RRC connected state method, or has an ambiguous indication information about RMSI (Remaining minimum system information), or has a large adjustment to the channel structure of RAR, which causes a significant impact on the standard, and thus these methods are not effective resource indication methods.

Detailed Description

In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following detailed description is given with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a resource indication method, including:

step 21, indicating resource configuration parameters of a target uplink control channel PUCCH resource set to a terminal through system information; the target PUCCH resource set can be used for transmitting uplink Acknowledgement (ACK)/non-acknowledgement (NACK) feedback of downlink information in the random access process;

in this step, the resource configuration parameters of the target PUCCH resource set include: a format type of the PUCCH, a starting symbol of the PUCCH, a length of the PUCCH, whether a frequency domain of the PUCCH is frequency hopped, a resource offset value of the PUCCH, a minimum interval of cyclic shift, a number of frequency domain resource blocks available for PUCCH transmission, and at least two of the frequency domain resource blocks available for PUCCH transmission.

It should be noted that the resource configuration parameter needs to be able to determine a unique target PUCCH resource set. The system information may be RMSI (Remaining minimum system information).

And step 22, indicating one PUCCH resource in the target PUCCH resource set to the terminal through a downlink control channel PDCCH.

In the embodiment of the present invention, first, system information is used to indicate a resource configuration parameter of a target PUCCH resource set, and a terminal can determine a target PUCCH resource set according to the resource configuration parameter; and then, one PUCCH resource in the target PUCCH resource set is indicated by the PDCCH, and the terminal can transmit uplink acknowledgement ACK/non-acknowledgement NACK feedback of downlink information in the random access process by using the PUCCH resource indicated by the PDCCH.

Preferably, step 21 includes:

step 211, sending system information to a terminal, where the system information carries resource configuration parameters of the target PUCCH resource set; alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

step 212, sending system information to a terminal, where an index of a preset bit field of the system information is used to indicate a resource configuration parameter of the target PUCCH resource set.

Preferably, in the above embodiments of the present invention, the N bit information field of the system information RMSI is used to indicate the resource configuration parameter of the target PUCCH resource set. N is an integer greater than or equal to 4, preferably N is equal to 4.

The format type (namely, format type) of the PUCCH occupies a 1-bit information domain, and the number of information bits of ACK/NACK is at most 1bit in the initial access stage, so that the format type of the PUCCH has two options; for example, "0" represents format 0; "1" means format 1.

In order to limit the number of bits, in the embodiment of the present invention, the starting symbol of the PUCCH and the length of the PUCCH are indicated together, that is, the starting symbol of the PUCCH and the length of the PUCCH occupy a 1-bit information field. For example, for format 0, since the total subframe length is 14 symbols, 13/1 and 12/2 may be used, where 13/1 denotes that the starting symbol is 13, the PUCCH length is 1 symbol; 12/2 denotes a starting symbol of 12, and a PUCCH length of 2 symbols. For format1, two options are considered, 14/0 and 10/4, which have the same meaning as in format 0.

The indication of whether the frequency domain of the PUCCH is frequency hopping occupies a 1bit information domain, and if the frequency domain is frequency hopping, the PUCCH is generally divided into two parts on the time domain and transmitted on different frequency bands. For example, "0" indicates no frequency hopping and "1" indicates frequency hopping.

The resource deviant of PUCCH occupies 1bit information domain, the information is used for indicating the starting deviant of PUCCH resource; since the PUCCH resource of the initially accessed user may share resources with other accessed users, in order to reserve PUCCH resources of other users, an offset value of the PUCCH resource needs to be set; such as semi-persistently scheduled SPS users.

The minimum interval of the cyclic shift CS occupies a 1bit information domain or a 2bit information domain, and the information is used for indicating the interval of the cyclic shift CS of different users. For a sequence, the maximum number of available CSs is 12, and the interval size determines the number of users supported.

The number of frequency domain resource blocks available for PUCCH transmission or the frequency domain resource blocks available for PUCCH transmission may occupy 1bit information domain, respectively.

It should be noted that, when the system information has a 4-bit information field to indicate the resource configuration parameter, the information included in the resource configuration parameter does not need to be indicated at the same time, so as to ensure that the total length of the information bit field occupied by the resource configuration parameter does not exceed 4.

Further, in the foregoing embodiment of the present invention, when the system information carries the resource configuration parameters of the target PUCCH resource set, each of the resource configuration parameters uses a different bit field indication. I.e. different bit fields (also called information fields) are used to indicate different parameters. When the system information carries the resource configuration parameters of the target PUCCH resource set, the use of the 4-bit information field of the system information is shown in table 1:

TABLE 1

As shown in table 1, the 4-bit information field of the system information is used for carrying resource configuration parameters; the resource configuration parameters carried by the system information 1 include: 1bit indicates the format type of the PUCCH, 1bit indicates the starting symbol and the length of the PUCCH, and 2bit indicates the minimum interval of cyclic shift; the resource configuration parameters carried by the system information 2 include: 1bit indicates the PUCCH format type, 1bit indicates the PUCCH resource deviation value, and 2bit indicates the minimum interval of cyclic shift; the resource configuration parameters carried by the system information 3 include: 1bit indicates the PUCCH format type, 1bit indicates the PUCCH starting symbol and the PUCCH length, 1bit indicates whether frequency hopping is carried out, and 1bit indicates the minimum interval of cyclic shift.

Further, in the foregoing embodiment of the present invention, when an index of a preset bit field of the system information is used to indicate a resource configuration parameter of the target PUCCH resource set, the index of the preset bit field is used to indicate a set of resource configuration parameters associated with each other; it may also be referred to as jointly encoding at least two parameters included in the resource configuration parameters.

When the index of the preset bit field of the system information is used for indicating the resource configuration parameters of the target PUCCH resource set, the preset bit field of the system information has 16 different indexes at most because the preset bit field is 4 bits, and when the PUCCH length is set to be 2 characters, the frequency hopping is always started; alternatively, if a switch supporting frequency hopping is required, this can be achieved by reducing the number of minimum intervals of cyclic shift, for example, setting the minimum interval of cyclic shift to 2 or 3. Preferably, the mapping relationship between the index of the predetermined bit field (i.e. 4-bit information field) of the system information and the resource allocation parameter is shown in table 2:

TABLE 2

As shown in table 2, when the index of the preset bit field of the system information is "0", the resource configuration parameters included in the system information are: PUCCH format is 0, starting symbol is 12, PUCCH length is 2, there is frequency hopping, and the minimum interval of cyclic shift is 1. The other indexes do not correspond to parameters that are enumerated.

Alternatively, the mapping relationship between the index of the preset bit field (i.e. 4-bit information field) of the system information and the resource configuration parameter is shown in table 3 (the minimum interval for setting the cyclic shift is 2 or 3):

TABLE 3

As shown in table 3, when the index of the preset bit field of the system information is "0", the resource configuration parameters included in the system information are: the PUCCH format is 0, the starting symbol is 12, the PUCCH length is 2, the number of configured frequency domain resource blocks is 2 PRBs, and the minimum interval of cyclic shift is 2. The other indexes do not correspond to parameters that are enumerated.

Further, in the above embodiment of the present invention, step 22 includes:

When a specific PUCCH (i.e. a first PUCCH resource) is demapped according to the starting index or the minimum index of the CCE, if the first PUCCH resource conflicts with other users (e.g. is occupied by other users), it is possible to demap another resource through a PUCCH resource indication field carried by the PDCCH; or, the same PUCCH resource cannot be used between users of different beam beams, and at this time, another resource needs to be mapped through a PUCCH resource indication field carried by the PDCCH; namely, step 22 includes:

and indicating an offset value to a terminal through a PUCCH resource indication field (the PUCCH resource indication field is a certain information field of downlink control information DCI) carried by the PDCCH, so that the terminal can determine an index of a second PUCCH resource in the target PUCCH resource set according to the index of the first PUCCH resource and the offset value, wherein a mapping relation exists between the index of the second PUCCH resource and a configuration parameter of the second PUCCH resource. Preferably, the index of the second PUCCH resource is equal to the index of the first PUCCH resource ± offset value.

Preferably, if the network side is configured with the resource offset value of the PUCCH, the mapping relationship between the start index or the minimum index of the CCE and the index of the first PUCCH resource is:

a resource offset value of the PUCCH indicated by the system information;

Note that the PUCCH resource indication field may be indicated by 2 bits, and a specific offset value may be any one of { -1,0,1,2} and {8, 4, 2, 0 }.

It should be further noted that the index of the first PUCCH resource or the index of the second PUCCH resource corresponds to at least the following parameters: the index of the physical resource block PRB contained in the PUCCH, the index of the time domain orthogonal mask OCC (applicable to format1), the initial cyclic shift CS value, and equivalently, the index of the first PUCCH resource or the index of the second PUCCH resource point to a set of above parameter configuration values, which can determine the specific format and physical resource configuration of the PUCCH resource. Further, the index of the first PUCCH resource or the index of the second PUCCH resource may indicate a specific uplink control channel physical resource.

Alternatively, in the above embodiment of the present invention, step 22 includes:

indicating a target subset in the target PUCCH resource set to a terminal through a PUCCH resource indication domain carried by a PDCCH (the PUCCH resource indication domain is a certain information domain of downlink control information DCI); wherein the target PUCCH resource set is divided into a plurality of subsets; if the PUCCH resource indication field is 2 bits, the target PUCCH resource set is divided into 4 subsets, and the PUCCH resource indication field is used to indicate a specific subset (namely the target subset).

Specifically, the mapping relationship between the starting index or the minimum index of the control channel element CCE and the index of the third PUCCH resource is:

n_PUCCH3＝(n_CCE/L) mod N; or, n_PUCCH3＝n_CCEmod N；

Specifically, when the number of PUCCH resources in one target subset is small, the following formula may be used:

n_PUCCH3＝(n_CCE/L) mod N; the mapping is performed, and the main purpose is to improve the resource utilization rate and prevent resource conflict.

Otherwise, when the number of PUCCH resources in one target subset is large or the CCE aggregation level of a user varies greatly, the following formula may be used:

n_PUCCH3＝n_CCEmod N。

for example, when the polymerization level L-2 and N-2, if the formula is used: n is_PUCCH3＝n_CCEmod N, then CCE index 0 and CCE index 2 map to the same PUCCH resource, causing resource collision.

In summary, in the embodiments of the present invention, first, system information is used to indicate a resource configuration parameter of a target PUCCH resource set, and a terminal can determine a target PUCCH resource set according to the resource configuration parameter; then, one PUCCH resource in the target PUCCH resource set is indicated by the PDCCH, and the terminal can transmit uplink acknowledgement ACK/non-acknowledgement NACK feedback of downlink information in the random access process by using the PUCCH resource indicated by the PDCCH; the embodiment of the invention can simply and definitely indicate the allocation of the PUCCH resources, improve the flexibility of resource allocation and save the signaling overhead of resource allocation.

As shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a resource determining method, including:

step 31, receiving system information, and determining a target uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource set according to a resource configuration parameter of the target PUCCH resource set indicated by the system information; the target PUCCH resource set can be used for transmitting uplink Acknowledgement (ACK)/non-acknowledgement (NACK) feedback of downlink information in the random access process.

In this step, the resource configuration parameters of the target PUCCH resource set include: a format type of the PUCCH, a starting symbol of the PUCCH, a length of the PUCCH, whether a frequency domain of the PUCCH is frequency hopped, a resource offset value of the PUCCH, a minimum interval of cyclic shift, a number of frequency domain resource blocks available for PUCCH transmission, and an index of the frequency domain resource blocks available for PUCCH transmission.

And step 32, receiving a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and determining one PUCCH resource in the target PUCCH resource set according to the PDCCH.

The embodiment of the invention firstly determines a target PUCCH resource set according to the resource configuration parameters of the target PUCCH resource set indicated by the system information; and then, one PUCCH resource in the target PUCCH resource set is determined according to the indication of the PDCCH, and the terminal can use the PUCCH resource indicated by the PDCCH to transmit uplink acknowledgement ACK/non-acknowledgement NACK feedback of downlink information in the random access process.

Preferably, in the above embodiment of the present invention, the system information carries a resource configuration parameter of the target PUCCH resource set; alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

Further, in the foregoing embodiment of the present invention, when the system information carries the resource configuration parameters of the target PUCCH resource set, each of the resource configuration parameters uses a different bit field indication. I.e. different bit fields (also called information fields) are used to indicate different parameters. When the system information carries the resource configuration parameters of the target PUCCH resource set, the use of the 4-bit information field of the system information is shown in table 1.

When the index of the preset bit field of the system information is used for indicating the resource configuration parameters of the target PUCCH resource set, the preset bit field of the system information has 16 different indexes at most because the preset bit field is 4 bits, and when the PUCCH length is set to be 2 characters, the frequency hopping is always started; alternatively, if a switch supporting frequency hopping is required, this can be achieved by reducing the number of minimum intervals of cyclic shift, for example, setting the minimum interval of cyclic shift to 2 or 3. Preferably, the mapping relationship between the index of the predetermined bit field (i.e. 4-bit information field) of the system information and the resource allocation parameter is shown in table 2. For example, as shown in table 2, when the index of the preset bit field of the system information is "0", the resource configuration parameters included in the system information are: PUCCH format is 0, starting symbol is 12, PUCCH length is 2, there is frequency hopping, and the minimum interval of cyclic shift is 1. The other indexes do not correspond to parameters that are enumerated.

Alternatively, the mapping relationship between the index of the preset bit field (i.e. 4-bit information field) of the system information and the resource configuration parameter is shown in table 3 (the minimum interval for setting the cyclic shift is 2 or 3). For example, as shown in table 3, when the index of the preset bit field of the system information is "0", the resource configuration parameters included in the system information are: the PUCCH format is 0, the starting symbol is 12, the PUCCH length is 2, the number of configured frequency domain resource blocks is 2 PRBs, and the minimum interval of cyclic shift is 2. The other indexes do not correspond to parameters that are enumerated.

Further, step 32 in the above embodiment of the present invention includes:

When a specific PUCCH (i.e. a first PUCCH resource) is demapped according to the starting index or the minimum index of the CCE, if the first PUCCH resource conflicts with other users (e.g. is occupied by other users), it is possible to demap another resource through a PUCCH resource indication field carried by the PDCCH; or, the same PUCCH resource cannot be used between users of different beam beams, and at this time, another resource needs to be mapped through a PUCCH resource indication field carried by the PDCCH; namely, step 32 includes:

and determining an offset value according to a PUCCH resource indication field (the PUCCH resource indication field is a certain information field of downlink control information DCI) carried by the PDCCH, and determining an index of a second PUCCH resource in the target PUCCH resource set according to the index of the first PUCCH resource and the offset value. Preferably, the index of the second PUCCH resource is equal to the index of the first PUCCH resource ± offset value.

Preferably, the step of determining the index of the first PUCCH resource in the target PUCCH resource set according to the starting index or the minimum index of the control channel element CCE of the PDCCH includes:

Specifically, the step of determining an index of a third PUCCH resource in the target subset according to a starting index or a minimum index of a control channel element CCE of the PDCCH includes:

n_PUCCH3＝(n_CCE/L) mod N; or, n_PUCCH3＝n_CCEmod N；
