Description

Method and equipment for switching downlink partial bandwidth
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of wireless communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for partial bandwidth handover.
Background
In the existing 5G mobile communication, a terminal may configure a plurality of downlink fractional bandwidths (DL BWPs), including a default DL BWP and an initial DL BWP. The terminal selects one of the configured downlink fractional bandwidths as an active downlink fractional bandwidth (active DL BWP), and receives downlink signaling and downlink transmission data on the bandwidth.
The activated downlink partial bandwidth of the terminal can be switched over a plurality of configured downlink partial bandwidths, and the activated downlink partial bandwidth can be switched over through a physical layer downlink control signaling (DCI), a high layer RRC signaling or a high layer configured bandwidth activation timer (bwp-InactivityTimer).
Based on the prior art, when invalid transmission occurs in data transmission that can trigger a bandwidth activation timer (bwp-inactivity timer) between a base station and a terminal, it may cause the bandwidth activation timer to restart asynchronously between the base station and the terminal. For example, the base station sends a downlink scheduling-free PDSCH to the terminal, the base station restarts the bandwidth activation timer, the terminal does not correctly receive the PDSCH but does not restart the bandwidth activation timer, the base station and the terminal side bandwidth activation timers are not synchronized, the terminal side timer is switched to a default downlink partial bandwidth or an initial downlink partial bandwidth when timeout occurs, and the base station side timer continues to send downlink data on the previous activated downlink partial bandwidth when the timeout does not occur. The currently used downlink bandwidth between the base station and the terminal is inconsistent, which may cause errors in downlink scheduling or downlink data transmission. The base station and the terminal need to realign the current downlink bandwidth to perform effective communication. In general, a terminal may align a downlink partial bandwidth with a base station by initiating a random access or the like. In a remote communication scenario, such as a satellite communication scenario, time delay introduced by random access is large, downlink part of bandwidths are not aligned due to asynchronism of a bandwidth activation timer between a terminal and a base station, and further downlink scheduling or downlink transmission data errors have a large influence on a system, and the bandwidth activation timer needs to be enhanced and designed to reduce the influence of the problems on system transmission efficiency.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail and completely with reference to the following specific embodiments of the present application and the accompanying drawings. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of timer switching. As shown in fig. 1, when the timer expires, the terminal switches from the activated downlink bandwidth to the default downlink bandwidth, and if the default downlink bandwidth is not configured, switches to the initial downlink bandwidth.
Wherein the bandwidth activation timer is valid for an activated downlink portion bandwidth of a non-default downlink portion bandwidth and a non-initial downlink portion bandwidth, and is restarted when the following conditions are met and no random access is performed or the random access is completed according to the existing protocol:
receiving a PDCCH, and scheduling uplink or downlink transmission by the PDCCH;
scheduling-free transmission of uplink without LBT failure;
and receiving downlink scheduling-free transmission.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the method of the present application.
In a first aspect, the present application provides a method for switching downlink fractional bandwidth, which is used for a downlink fractional bandwidth switching mechanism of a mobile communication system, and the embodiment includes the following steps 101 to 104:
step 101, configuring or setting a condition for starting or restarting a timer corresponding to the downlink partial bandwidth.
For each of at least a portion of the downstream portion of bandwidth, a start/restart condition of a corresponding timer is independently configured.
Preferably, the conditions comprise at least one of:
(1) Receiving PDSCH scheduled based on PDCCH
(2) Sending PUSCH based on PDCCH scheduling
(3) And transmitting the PUCCH.
When the condition for restarting or starting the bandwidth activation timer includes the condition (1), which indicates that the terminal receives the PDSCH scheduled based on the PDCCH, the bandwidth activation timer on the downlink partial bandwidth corresponding to the PDSCH is restarted or started. And when the base station side correspondingly transmits the PDSCH scheduled based on the PDCCH, restarting or starting a bandwidth activation timer on a downlink part bandwidth corresponding to the PDSCH transmission.
When the condition for restarting or starting the bandwidth activation timer includes the condition (2), which indicates that the terminal transmits the PUSCH scheduled based on the PDCCH, the bandwidth activation timer on the current downlink partial bandwidth when transmitting the PUSCH is restarted or started. And when the base station side correspondingly receives the PUSCH scheduled based on the PDCCH, restarting or starting the bandwidth activation timer on the current downlink partial bandwidth when receiving the PUSCH. It should be noted that, when the terminal transmits the PUSCH scheduled based on the PDCCH, the terminal restarts or starts the PUSCH transmission time before the uplink timing advance is applied by the bandwidth activation timer on the current downlink partial bandwidth when the PUSCH is transmitted.
When the condition for restarting or starting the bandwidth activation timer includes the condition (3), which indicates that the terminal transmits the PUCCH, the bandwidth activation timer on the current downlink partial bandwidth when transmitting the PUCCH is restarted or started. And when the base station side correspondingly receives the PUCCH, restarting or starting a bandwidth activation timer on the current downlink partial bandwidth when receiving the PUCCH. It should be noted that, when the terminal sends the PUCCH, the terminal restarts or starts sending the PUCCH, and the bandwidth activation timer on the current downlink partial bandwidth does not apply the PUCCH sending time advanced by the uplink timing. Further optionally, the PUCCH may carry a PUCCH for ACK/NACK, or a PUCCH for reporting CSI, or the like. The PUCCH resource may be a higher layer signaling configuration indication or a PDCCH indication.
Optionally, when the terminal transmits the feedback NACK for a PDSCH, the terminal side does not restart or start the bandwidth activation timer when receiving the PDSCH and/or the PDCCH scheduled correspondingly to the PDSCH, and the corresponding base station does not restart or start the bandwidth activation timer when transmitting the PDSCH and/or the PDCCH scheduled correspondingly to the PDSCH.
Optionally, when the terminal obtains the re-scheduling retransmission resource of the base station side for a certain PUSCH, the terminal side correspondingly sends the PUSCH without restarting or starting the bandwidth activation timer, and the corresponding base station correspondingly receives the PUSCH without restarting or starting the bandwidth activation timer.
102, configuring or setting a timer parameter corresponding to a downlink partial bandwidth;
preferably, for each of at least a portion of the downstream portion of bandwidth, the parameters of the corresponding timer are configured independently. And configuring an independent bandwidth activation timer for each downlink part bandwidth, wherein the bandwidth activation timers with different values can be configured for other downlink part bandwidths configured except the default downlink part bandwidth and the initial downlink part bandwidth. The improved design can support the base station to reside in different downlink part bandwidths for different time according to the actual requirement of the terminal. For example, when the downlink traffic transmission volume of the base station and the terminal is large, the downlink bandwidth with a large bandwidth activation timer can be selected for transmission; when the downlink traffic transmission amount of the base station and the terminal is small, the downlink partial bandwidth with the smaller bandwidth activation timer can be selected for transmission.
Preferably, the configuration information of the higher layer signaling includes a parameter of the timer, and the parameter of the timer is modified through the DCI. The value of the bandwidth activation timer may be reconfigured by DCI or other signaling. In the existing protocol, the value of the bandwidth activation timer is configured by a high-level signaling, and dynamic change is not supported. The value of the bandwidth activation timer can be reconfigured through DCI, and the method is suitable for reconfiguring a bandwidth activation timer with a smaller value in the last DCI sent on the downlink bandwidth when a bandwidth activation timer with a larger value is configured by a high layer so as to indicate that the terminal is quickly switched to a default downlink bandwidth or an initial downlink bandwidth after receiving a PDSCH (physical downlink shared channel) of subsequent scheduling. The method is also suitable for the situation that when a bandwidth activation timer with a smaller value is configured at a high layer, when the traffic volume of the next industry is larger, the bandwidth activation timer with a larger value is reconfigured through the DCI so as to support the terminal to stay for a longer time on the currently activated downlink bandwidth, and frequent downlink bandwidth switching is avoided.
And 103, activating or deactivating a timer corresponding to the downlink part bandwidth.
Preferably, the timer is activated or deactivated through DCI;
that is, when the bandwidth activation timer is configured in the higher layer signaling, the bandwidth activation timer may be used according to a specific scenario in practical applications. For example, in a long-distance communication scenario, when DCI is not activated, the bandwidth activation timer is not used to avoid a problem of inconsistency of understanding of downlink fractional bandwidths between a base station and a terminal, where the problem is introduced by the timer, and the timer is activated in a last DCI sent on the downlink bandwidth to instruct the terminal to switch to a default downlink fractional bandwidth or an initial downlink fractional bandwidth after the timer expires, so as to reduce signaling overhead introduced by partial bandwidth switching based on DCI and high-layer signaling.
Step 104, transmitting the current downlink partial bandwidth index through the uplink information.
And transmitting a downlink part bandwidth index through uplink information, and starting/restarting the timer by the network equipment and the terminal equipment when the starting/restarting condition of the timer corresponding to the downlink part bandwidth occurs.
Preferably, the uplink control information includes a currently-resident downlink bandwidth index, or a downlink bandwidth index is carried by the MAC CE; the triggering condition of the uplink information comprises at least one of the following conditions: the timer is overtime, or the downlink bandwidth is switched according to the indication, or the report is triggered periodically.
The terminal reports the current downlink bandwidth index, that is, the terminal reports the currently-resident downlink bandwidth index to the base station through the uplink channel, for example, fig. 3 shows that the report information of the terminal device includes a partial bandwidth index. The uplink channel for reporting the downlink fractional bandwidth index may be a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) or a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH). The downlink fractional bandwidth index may be at least one (or any number of) information bearer in UCI, MAC CE, higher layer signaling. The reporting of the current downlink bandwidth index by the terminal can be event-triggered reporting, wherein the event-triggered reporting can be triggered after the terminal bandwidth activation timer is switched to a default downlink bandwidth or an initial downlink bandwidth after time out; or the terminal may switch to the indicated downlink bandwidth after receiving the command to switch the downlink bandwidth, and then trigger the terminal.
The reporting of the current downlink part bandwidth index by the terminal can be periodic reporting, wherein the resource which is periodically reported is configured through a high-level signaling, or is configured through the high-level signaling and activated or deactivated through a physical-layer signaling. And the terminal reports the current downlink part bandwidth index on the configured periodic resource.
And 105, activating or switching the downlink part of the bandwidth through a timer.
When the condition set in step 101 occurs, when the timer is started, the corresponding downlink fractional bandwidth is activated.
And when the timer is overtime, the terminal equipment is switched from the activated downlink bandwidth to the default downlink bandwidth.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment, partial steps 101 to 105 are in a sum or a sum relationship, for example, when steps 101 and 102 are included, steps 103 and 104 may be optional features. The inventive features of step 101 may be implemented in conjunction with the inventive features of step 102 or step 101 the inventive features may be implemented in conjunction with existing downlink segment bandwidth activation timer parameter configuration techniques. Likewise, the features of the present invention in step 102 may be implemented in conjunction with existing techniques for configuring or setting conditions for starting or restarting timers corresponding to downstream fractional bandwidths, to form a complete solution. Alternatively, the features of the present invention in step 104 may be implemented in conjunction with existing techniques for configuring or setting conditions for starting or restarting timers corresponding to downstream fractional bandwidth, to form a complete solution.
