Fig. 1 illustrates an example wireless communication network and/or system 100 in which the disclosed techniques may be implemented, according to an embodiment of the invention. In the discussion that follows, the wireless communication network 100 may be any wireless network, such as a cellular network or a narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT) network, and is referred to herein as the "network 100". Such an example network 100 includes a base station 102 (also referred to as a "communication point 102" or "BS 102" or "Transmit Receive Point (TRP)" or "communication node") and a user equipment device 104 (hereinafter "UE 104") that may communicate with each other via a communication link 110 (e.g., a wireless communication channel), as well as a cluster of cells 126, 130, 132, 134, 136, 138, and 140 covering a geographic area 101. In fig. 1, communication point 102 and UE 104 are contained within respective geographic boundaries of cell 126. Each of the other cells 130, 132, 134, 136, 138, and 140 may include at least one base station that operates at its allocated bandwidth to provide adequate wireless coverage to its intended users.
For example, the communication point 102 may operate on an allocated channel transmission bandwidth to provide adequate coverage to the UE 104. Communication point 102 and UE 104 may communicate via downlink radio frames 118 and uplink radio frames 124, respectively. Each radio frame 118/124 may be further divided into subframes 120/127, which may include data symbols 122/128. In the present invention, the communication point 102 and the UE 104 are described herein as non-limiting examples of "communication nodes" that may generally practice the methods disclosed herein. Such communication nodes may be capable of wireless and/or wired communication according to various embodiments of the present solution.
Fig. 2 illustrates a block diagram of an example wireless communication system 200 for transmitting and receiving wireless communication signals, such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)/Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) signals, in accordance with some embodiments of the present solution. System 200 may include components and units configured to support known or conventional operating features that need not be described in detail herein. In one illustrative embodiment, as described above, the system 200 can be employed to communicate (e.g., transmit and receive) data symbols in a wireless communication environment, such as the wireless communication environment 100 of fig. 1.
The system 200 generally includes a base station 202 (also referred to as a "communication point 202") and a user equipment device 204 (hereinafter "UE 204"). The communication point 202 includes a communication point (base station) transceiver module 210, a communication point antenna 212, a communication point processor module 214, a communication point memory module 216, and a network communication module 218, each coupled and interconnected to each other as needed via a data communication bus 220. The UE 204 includes a UE (user equipment) transceiver module 230, a UE antenna 232, a UE memory module 234, and a UE processor module 236, each coupled and interconnected with each other as needed via a data communication bus 240. The communication point 202 communicates with the UE 204 via a communication channel 250, which may be any wireless channel or other medium suitable for data transmission as described herein.
As understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, the system 200 may further include any number of modules other than those shown in fig. 2. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that the various illustrative blocks, modules, circuits, and processing logic described in connection with the embodiments disclosed herein may be implemented as hardware, computer readable software, firmware, or any practical combination thereof. To clearly illustrate this interchangeability and compatibility of hardware, firmware, and software, various illustrative components, blocks, modules, circuits, and steps have been described above generally in terms of their functionality. Whether such functionality is implemented as hardware, firmware, or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system. Persons familiar with the concepts described herein may implement such functionality in an appropriate manner for each specific application, but such implementation decisions should not be interpreted as limiting the scope of the present invention.
According to some embodiments, UE transceiver 230 may be referred to herein as an "uplink" transceiver 230, which includes a Radio Frequency (RF) transmitter and an RF receiver, each including circuitry coupled to an antenna 232. A duplex switch (not shown) may alternatively couple the uplink transmitter or receiver to the uplink antenna in a time-duplex manner. Similarly, according to some embodiments, the communication point transceiver 210 may be referred to herein as a "downlink" transceiver 210, which includes an RF transmitter and an RF receiver, each including circuitry coupled to an antenna 212. The downlink duplex switch may alternatively couple the downlink transmitter or receiver to the downlink antenna 212 in a time-duplex manner. The operation of the two transceiver modules 210 and 230 may be coordinated in time such that while the downlink transmitter is coupled to the downlink antenna 212, the uplink receiver circuit is coupled to the uplink antenna 232 for receiving transmissions over the wireless transmission 250. In some embodiments, there is tight time synchronization with minimal guard time between changes in the duplex direction.
UE transceiver 230 and base station transceiver 210 are configured to communicate via a wireless data communication link 250 and cooperate with a suitably configured RF antenna arrangement 212/232 that may support a dedicated wireless communication protocol and modulation scheme. In some demonstrative embodiments, UE transceiver 210 and base station transceiver 210 are configured to support industry standards, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) and emerging 5G standards. It should be understood, however, that the present invention is not necessarily limited in its application to proprietary standards and related protocols. Rather, UE transceiver 230 and base station transceiver 210 may be configured to support alternative or additional wireless data communication protocols, including future standards or variations thereof.
According to various embodiments, for example, communication point 202 may be an evolved node b (eNB), a serving eNB, a target eNB, a femto station, or a pico station. In some embodiments, the UE 204 may be embodied in various types of user equipment, such as a mobile phone, a smartphone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a tablet, a laptop, a wearable computing device, and so forth. The processor modules 214 and 236 may be implemented or embodied with a general purpose processor, a content addressable memory, a digital signal processor, an application specific integrated circuit, a field programmable gate array, any suitable programmable logic device, discrete gate or transistor logic, discrete hardware components, or any combination thereof designed to perform the functions described herein. In this manner, the processor may be implemented as a microprocessor, controller, microcontroller, state machine, or the like. A processor may also be implemented as a combination of computing devices, e.g., a combination of a digital signal processor and a microprocessor, a plurality of microprocessors, one or more microprocessors in conjunction with a digital signal processor core, or any other such configuration.
Furthermore, the steps of a method or algorithm described in connection with the embodiments disclosed herein may be embodied directly in hardware, in firmware, in a software module executed by the processor modules 214 and 236, respectively, or in any practical combination thereof. Memory modules 216 and 234 may be implemented as RAM memory, flash memory, ROM memory, EPROM memory, EEPROM memory, registers, a hard disk, a removable disk, a CD-ROM, or any other form of storage medium known in the art. In this regard, the memory modules 216 and 234 may be coupled to the processor modules 210 and 230, respectively, such that the processor modules 210 and 230 may read information from and write information to the memory modules 216 and 234, respectively. The memory modules 216 and 234 may also be integrated into their respective processor modules 210 and 230. In some embodiments, the memory modules 216 and 234 may each include a cache memory for storing temporary variables or other intermediate information during execution of instructions to be executed by the processor modules 210 and 230, respectively. The memory modules 216 and 234 may also each include non-volatile memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processor modules 210 and 230, respectively.
The network communication module 218 generally represents the hardware, software, firmware, processing logic, and/or other components of the base station 202 that enable bi-directional communication between the base station transceiver 210 and other network components and communication nodes configured to communicate with the base station 202. For example, the network communication module 218 may be configured to support internet or WiMAX services. In a typical deployment, but not limited to, the network communication module 218 provides an 802.3 ethernet interface so that the base station transceiver 210 can communicate with a conventional ethernet-based computer network. In this manner, the network communication module 218 may include a physical interface for connecting to a computer network (e.g., a Mobile Switching Center (MSC)). As used herein, the terms "configured to," "configured to," and their equivalents, refer to a particular operation or function, and refer to a device, component, circuit, structure, machine, signal, etc., as physically constructed, programmed, patterned, and/or arranged to perform the particular operation or function.
Having discussed aspects of network environments and devices that may be used to implement the systems, methods, and apparatus of the present invention, additional details are described below.
Fig. 3 illustrates a wireless communication system including a UE in communication with two communication points (e.g., one or more BSs, one or more RRUs in a BS). In particular, the UE 306 communicates with a first communication point 302 and a second communication point 304 in the same cell. There may not be a backhaul communication link between the first communication point and the second communication point. A first communication point may transmit DCI1 (downlink control information) and PDSCH1 (physical downlink shared channel) to a UE, where DCI1 includes scheduling information for PDSCH1, while a second communication point may transmit DCI2 and PDSCH2 to the same UE, where DCI2 includes scheduling information for PDSCH 2. The use of two communication points may on the one hand improve link robustness and may improve spectral efficiency, but on the other hand may create complications with respect to supporting two independently scheduled terminals within the same network.
Each communication point may transmit a PDCCH during a downlink symbol in a slot in the NR. The search space set is a set of search spaces, where a search space includes PDCCH candidates that occupy some CCEs (control channel elements) at a given aggregation level, which the UE should attempt to blindly decode. Blind detection is the process by which the UE attempts to detect any PDCCH (physical downlink control channel) candidate transmitted by one or more communication points. There may be multiple sets of search spaces associated with the same CORESET (control resource set). When the number of candidate PDCCHs configured in a slot or the number of non-overlapping CCEs for monitoring the candidate PDCCHs is greater than a predetermined value, some search space sets may have to be discarded based on a predetermined rule. Each set of search spaces is retained or discarded according to the order of priority. The UE needs to detect the PDCCH candidates in the reserved search space set and perform channel and/or signal transmission according to the detected PDCCH candidates. The UE does not desire to detect the PDCCH candidate in the discarded search space set. The predetermined rule needs to consider a balance of PDCCH candidates reserved between the plurality of first communication points.
Referring again to fig. 3, two communication points transmit downlink data channels to the UE. In particular, there is no ideal backhaul between the two communication points. The two communication points independently schedule downlink data channels, with DCI1 scheduling a channel or signal for a first communication point and DCI2 scheduling a channel or signal for a second communication point. Of course, this embodiment does not exclude the possibility of an ideal backhaul between two communication points, but the channel characteristics of the two channels between the two communication points and the UE are independent, and the two communication points schedule data independently, or one of the communication points dynamically selects one or both communication points to transmit a channel or signal to the UE. The time-frequency resources occupied by PDSCH1 and PDSCH2 may be empty (non-overlapping), partially overlapping, or fully overlapping.
In NR-Rel 15, parameters for PDCCH are included in CORESET and search space sets, where one search space set may be associated with one CORESET, but one CORESET may be associated with multiple search space sets. A plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs) may be configured in one downlink serving cell, and up to three CORESET may be configured in each BWP, and up to 10 search space sets may be configured in each BWP.
The following parameters may be configured in CORESET: the frequency domain resources that the candidate PDCCH can occupy, the quasi-co-location reference signal of the demodulation reference signal of the PDCCH in CORESET, and the time domain symbol number occupied by the candidate PDCCH in a PDCCH occasion. For example, different sets of quasi-co-located reference signals represent different transmit beams used by the base station to transmit PDCCH, while CORESET corresponds to a set of quasi-co-located reference signals, i.e., CORESET has only one transmit beam.
The following parameters are configured in each search space set: the PDCCH occasion is offset by the period and period of the time unit of the slot, the starting time domain symbol occupied by each PDCCH occasion in the slot, and the number of candidate PDCCHs included in each aggregation level.
Fig. 4 shows an example configuration of CORESET and search space. In particular, fig. 4 shows a time slot n400 that includes a set of sets 2402 associated with a set of search spaces 2404 and a set of search spaces 3406. Configuring the time domain symbol number of one PDCCH occasion in CORESET2 as 1, one PDCCH occasion of search space set 2408 (or search space set 3410) occupies the frequency domain resource and time domain symbol number 1 allocated/configured by CORESET 2. In each PDDCH occasion of each search space set, the number of PDDCH candidates is equal to the number of PDCCH candidates included/configured in the search space set. For example, in fig. 4, for three PDCCH occasions, search space set2 in the slot has a starting time domain symbol of {0,4,10 }. And if the slot cycle of search space set2 is 2 slots, then there is search space set2 in every 2 slots that occupies a 0,4,10 time domain symbol. For four PDCCH occasions, search space set3 in the slot has a starting time domain symbol of 2,6,8, 9. If the search space set3 has a slot period of 4 slots, the search space set3 in one of every 4 slots occupies a time domain symbol of {2,6,8,9} in each PDCCH occasion having one time domain symbol. In fig. 4, search space set2 and search space set3 in one slot have zero overlapping time domain symbols. Different sets of search spaces associated with the same CORESET may also occupy non-zero/non-null overlapping time domain symbols.
As can be seen from the foregoing description, in CORESET, the configuration includes time-frequency resources corresponding to one PDCCH occasion. And configuring a time domain mode of a PDCCH occasion of each search space in each search space set, wherein the time domain mode comprises a PDCCH occasion mode in a time slot and a mode comprising the time slot of the PDCCH occasion. Each set of search spaces associated with the same CORESET shares parameters configured in the CORESET.
As can be seen from the above description, different search space sets may have different PDCCH occasion patterns, and thus the sets of search space sets contained in different slots may be different. For example, slot n includes a set of search spaces {1-8 }; slot n +1 includes only the set of search spaces {1,3,6 }; and slot n +2 includes only the search space set 7. Therefore, there are cases where some slots include too many search space sets or too many candidate PDCCHs of a search space set having a large candidate PDCCH, but the UE has limited capability of processing PDCCHs in one slot, and some candidate PDCCHs must be discarded according to a predetermined rule for this purpose. The complexity of processing the PDCCH includes detection of PDCCH candidates, the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the PDCCH candidates.
As shown in fig. 3, the predetermined rule may consider the case of multiple communication points to avoid the case where the terminal monitors only candidate PDCCHs corresponding to one communication point at times, and the number of candidate PDCCHs reserved in one communication point may be much greater than that reserved in another communication point at times. To this end, the retention policy/implementation for the set of search spaces should also take into account the multiple communication point scenario.
As shown in fig. 3, communication between the UE and two communication points can improve link robustness and improve spectrum efficiency on one hand. However, how to support independent scheduling of two communication points and UE, especially independent scheduling of two communication points in the same serving cell and UE in the cell, and simultaneously minimize the amount of communication/coordination between the two communication points, thereby effectively supporting a scenario where two communication points without ideal backhaul communicate with the same UE.
As discussed herein, the frequency domain bandwidth may be one of: serving cell, BWP in serving cell and contiguous PRB (physical resource block). One search space set includes one or more aggregation level (also referred to as aggregation level) search spaces, and each aggregation level search space corresponds to one aggregation level and PDCCH candidates included in the aggregation level search space. A set of search spaces may be referred to as/refer to a set of search spaces, i.e., a set of aggregated search spaces. In the following description, a serving cell may be (or correspond to) a CC (component carrier). In the present embodiment, the detected PDCCH candidates may be determined according to the CORESET group. For example, each CORESET group corresponds to a communication point. In particular, the following two CORESET groups may be considered as examples. Of course, this does not exclude the case where the number of CORESET groups included in one frequency domain bandwidth may be other positive integers greater than or equal to 1.

The UE does not expect the number of monitored PDCCH candidates and non-overlapping CCEs configured per slot to exceed the corresponding maximum number of CSS sets per slot.
The monitored state of the search space may be determined according to at least one of the following methods: method 1-method 5. When the monitoring state is not monitoring, the UE does not monitor PDCH candidates in the search space set, i.e., discards the search space set. When the monitoring state is monitoring, the UE monitors PDCH candidates in the search space set, i.e., the reserved search space set, and the UE detects PDCH candidates in the search space set.
Step 1:
firstly, a candidate PDCCH of a serving cell is determined by using a subcarrier spacing parameter mu in a time slotMaximum number of (i.e., D1) and non-overlapping CCEs of the candidate PDCCHI.e., E1. Largest candidate PDCCH in CORESET group 1(i.e., D2 of CORESET group 1) and PDCCH candidateMaximum value of non-overlapping CCES (i.e., E2 of CORESET group 1), PDCCH candidate in CORESET group 2Maximum number of (i.e., D2 of CORESET group 2) and PDCCH candidates(i.e., E2 of CORESET 1) of non-overlapping CCEs. Obtained from the following information A subcarrier spacing parameter mu, a predetermined value, a capability value reported by a terminal (i.e., UE), and the number of serving cells for the subcarrier spacing parameter mu.
ForTheir acquisition/association parameters also include the number of communication points of the serving cell, the number of communication points corresponding to a serving cell being acquired according to one of the following methods: a CORESET group included in a serving cell; scheduling a number of CORESET groups included in a serving cell of the serving cell; a number of same type parameter sets of a PDSCH configured in a serving cell. The number of CORESET groups included in one serving cell is the number of CORESETs included in the active BWP in the serving cell. If the serving cell is an inactive serving cell, it is the number of CORESET groups in the predetermined BWP. The same type of parameters for PDSCH include one or more of: a channel scrambling sequence parameter, a set of process numbers, and a set of PUCCH resources. Other parameters are also possible.
The set of reserved search spaces is determined using the following pseudo-code:
it is determined to detect a PDCCH candidate in a common search space set,
wherein the monitoring is to be performedCandidate PDCCH assignment to USS set Suss(j) Representing a set of search spaces SUSS(j)The monitoring state of (2) is monitoring, and the UE detects the PDCCH candidates in the search space set.The number of PDCCH candidates counted in the CSS set in the core set i of the scheduling cell in the slot,the number i of non-overlapping CCEs of the PDCCH candidate monitored in the CSS set in the CORESET group i for the scheduling cell in the slot is 1, 2.
In summary, the reservation strategy of the PDCCH search space set in method 1 is shown in fig. 5, and the D _ Cell in fig. 5 includes the above-mentioned informationAndthe D _ CORESET group (i) in FIG. 5 includes the above D _ USS (j) includesAnd C (V)CCE(Suss(j)))。
Specifically, as shown in fig. 6-8, the CORESET group 1 includes { CORESET1, CORESET2, CORESET3} corresponding to the first communication point 1 in fig. 3, and the CORESET group 2 includes { CORESET4, CORESET5} corresponding to the first communication point 2 in fig. 3. For simplicity, only candidate PDCCHs of the search space set are considered in FIGS. 6-8The number of (2). Suppose thatAndeach of which is 40, of the total weight of the material,at 60, and fig. 6 to 8 show schematic diagrams of the search space sets contained in different time slots. After using the scheme for reserving the search space set discussed in method 1, the search space set reserved in slot n1 of fig. 6 is { USS1, USS3, USS4, USS5} (in this case, 40 PDCCH candidates are reserved in CORESET1 and 20 PDCCH candidates are reserved in CORESET 2), and the search space set reserved in slot n2 of fig. 7 is { USS1 }. It can be seen that USS2 is not reserved at this point, otherwise, CORESET1 would be exceeded although the serving cell did not. The set of search spaces reserved in the slot n3 in FIG. 8 is { USS1, USS3, USS8, USS9 }.
Step 1:
For all search space sets, S, within a time slot ncssRepresenting a set of cardinality as IcssCSS set and SUSS,CORESET group 1Representing a set of cardinality JUSS,CORESET group 1The USS set of CORESET group 1.

And SUSS,CORESET group 2Representing a set of cardinality JUSS,CORESET group 2The USS set of CORESET group 2.

Step 2:
in method 2, it is determined sequentially whether the monitored states of the search space set are determined in two CORESET groups, unlike scheme 1, in which the monitored states of the search space set are determined only according to the search space set index order. Method 2 employs fig. 6: in slot n, the set of reserved search spaces is { USS1, USS5, USS6, USS3} (at this time, 30 PDCCH candidates are reserved in CORESET1, and 30 PDCCH candidates are reserved in CORESET 2). FIG. 7 shows that the set of search spaces for { USS1} in slot n2 is reserved, and the USS2 is not reserved at this time, otherwise it would exceedThe set of search spaces reserved in the slot n3 in FIG. 8 is { USS1, USS8, USS3, USS9 }.
In method 3, each CORESET group independently determines the reservation of the search space set, i.e. it is only required to ensure that the number of candidate PDCCHs and the number of non-overlapping CCEs in the reserved search space set in each CORESET group does not exceed the maximum threshold of these numbers for this CORESET group. In this process, we do not calculate/consider the maximum threshold of the cell when determining the monitored state of the search space.
With method 3, the set of search spaces reserved in slot n1 of fig. 6 is { USS1, USS3, USS4, USS5, USS6, USS7} (at this time, 40 PDCCH candidates remain in CORESET group 1, and CORESET group 2 reserves 40 PDCCH candidates). In FIG. 7, the set of search spaces reserved for slot n2 is { USS1 }. As can be seen, USS2 is also not reserved at this time, and otherwise would be exceededThe set of search spaces reserved in the slot n3 in FIG. 8 is { USS1, USS3, USS9, USS8 }.
In the above solution, the problem of keeping the USS2 in the time slot n2 cannot be solved. When USS2 is reserved, the total number of cells for slot n2 does not exceed the cell level threshold, but would exceed the CORESET1 threshold. To this end, we may first determine the monitoring status of all USS sets of cells in a timeslot using method 2 or method 1, then determine the monitoring status of search space sets that have been discarded in the first cycle, and then check whether the total number of cells exceeds a cell level threshold. If not, the set of search spaces may be retained; here we do not care whether the restriction of the CORESET group is exceeded or not.
Method 4
As shown in fig. 9, after the operation of method 1 is completed, i.e., J ═ J is reached firstUSSThereafter, if the number of reserved search space sets is less than the maximum threshold for that Cell, we can continue to check if the number exceeds the threshold for the Cell (D _ Cell) and check whether to reserve or discard within the search space set of the USS _1 search space set. After the method 4 shown in fig. 9 is adopted, and referring to fig. 6, the reserved search space set in slot n1 in fig. 6 is { USS1, USS3, USS4, USS5} (at this time, 40 PDCCH candidates are reserved in CORESET1, and 20 PDCCH candidates are reserved in CORESET 2), and the reserved search space set in slot n2 in fig. 7 is { USS1, USS2}, and it can be seen that USS2 is reserved at this time. The set of search spaces reserved in the slot n3 in FIG. 8 is { USS1, USS3, USS8, USS9}。
Method 5
Similar to method 4, after the operation of method 2, if the number of candidate PDCCHs in the reserved search space set is less than the maximum threshold of the cell, we may continue to check the monitoring status of the USS group discarded in the above operation of method 2. According to method 5, and referring to fig. 6, the set of search spaces reserved in slot n1 of fig. 6 is { USS1, USS3, USS4, USS5, USS6, USS7} (at this time, 40 PDCCH candidates remain in CORESET1, 40 PDCCH candidates remain in CORESET 2), and the set of search spaces reserved by slot n2 in fig. 7 is { USS1, USS2 }. At this point USS2 is retained, otherwise it will be exceededThe set of search spaces remaining in slot n3 in fig. 8 is { USS1, USS8, USS3, USS9 }.
Reserving the above PDCCH search space set
When the PDCCH and the PDCCH scheduled channel and/or signal are in different serving cells, i.e., when scheduling across serving cells (cross-CCs), each serving cell (where the scheduled channel and/or signal resides) is independently checked to determine whether its search space set is reserved. Or may determine whether to retain/discard only the set of search spaces for the SPcell (dedicated primary cell). When configuring the search space set for Scell, the terminal does not expect the number of candidate PDCCHs/non-overlapping CCEs of the search space set in the slot to exceed the maximum allowed for the cell, or exceed the maximum threshold of the corresponding CORESET group.
Or when the number of the communication points in the Spcell is higher than the predefined number, determining the reservation of the search space set in the serving cell. When performing the configuration, the terminal does not want the number of candidate PDCCHs/non-overlapping CCEs in the search space set in the slot to exceed the maximum value allowed by the cell and the maximum value allowed by the CORESET group.
Assume that one communication point corresponds to one CORESET group to handle the methods 1-5 discussed above. Assuming that one communication point corresponds to one BWP group/BWP, the methods 1-5 are similarly processed using the BWP group/BWP in the cell instead of the CORESET group. That is, the monitoring state of the search space is determined according to the BWP group/BWP in the cell. The CORESET includes CORESET for a cell. The number of CORESET groups includes CORESET of cells. Multiple BWPs are used for a cell. The monitoring state may be monitoring or not monitoring.

Two communication points of the same cell
As shown in fig. 3, in order to effectively support communication between two communication points and one terminal, reduce the amount of coordination required between the two communication points, and reduce the influence of interaction delay between the communication points on system performance, the following method may be used.
The two communication points are represented by two CORESET groups in the BWP under the serving cell. The first or second predetermined condition must be met when the channels and/or signals are scheduled by the same communication point, i.e. when the channels and/or signals are scheduled by the same CORESET group in the serving cell. The first or second predetermined condition need not be met when the channels and/or signals are scheduled by different communication points, i.e. the channels and/or signals are scheduled via different sets of CORESET in the serving cell.
The two communication points are represented by two BWPs or two BWP groups under one serving cell. When channels and/or signals are scheduled by the same communication point, i.e. the channels and/or signals are located in one BWP in the serving cell or in the same BWP group, the first or second predetermined condition must be satisfied. When channels and/or signals are scheduled by different communication points, i.e. the channels and/or signals are located in different BWPs in the serving cell or in different BWP groups in the serving cell, the first or second predetermined condition need not be met.
Wherein the first predetermined condition comprises one or more of the conditions:
there is no overlap between time domain resources occupied by two channels and/or signals, wherein the two channels and/or signals correspond to the same process or different processes;
in the case where the end position of the PDCCH scheduling the first channel and/or signal is later than the end position of the PDCCH scheduling the second channel and/or signal, the start position of the first channel cannot be earlier than the end position of the second channel and/or signal, where the two channels and/or signals correspond to the same process or different processes;
for two channels corresponding to the same process number, the start position of one channel cannot be earlier than the end position of the last channel under the same process number.
Wherein the second predetermined condition comprises one or more of the following conditions:
under the condition that the end position of the PDCCH for scheduling the uplink channel and/or the signal falls in a preset time window before the start symbol of the transmission opportunity of the PUSCH with the authorization, the time domain resource occupied by the uplink channel and/or the signal is not overlapped with the time domain resource of the transmission opportunity of the PUSCH with the authorization;
if the transmission opportunities of the PDCCH for scheduling the uplink channel and the PUSCH for configuring the authorization have the same process number, the end position of the PDCCH cannot fall in a preset time window before the start symbol of the transmission opportunity for configuring the PUSCH for the authorization;
the PUSCH in which the grant is configured is (or may also be referred to as) an unlicensed PUSCH.
Two communication points from two serving cells
The parameters of the two communication points need to meet certain constraint conditions, so that the robustness or the frequency efficiency of the link can be improved, the complexity of the terminal is reduced, and the interference between the two links corresponding to the two communication points can be effectively reduced. The following method was used for this purpose.
Specifically, if two communication points are respectively represented by two CCs (i.e., serving cells), the two CCs may be one of the following: CC in one MCG and CC in one SCG; two CCs in two CC groups, respectively from an MCG (master cell group) (or an SCG secondary cell group), where each of the two CC groups in the MCG corresponds to one uplink serving CC comprising a PUCCH, or different CC groups correspond to different serving cells comprising a PUCCH.
For example, a first CC set in the MCG includes Pcell and a second CC set includes PUCCH-Scell, i.e., two CC sets in the MCG correspond to cells including PUCCH, respectively. The HARQ-ACK information for the PDSCH in each CC group is in feedback in the cell that includes the PUCCH corresponding to the CC group.
In particular, when the frequency domain resources between two serving cells representing two communication points actually overlap, the parameters in the two serving cells are correlated.
For example, the BWPs (in active state) of the two serving cells should be the same, or the CP of the active BWP should be the same, or the numerical parameters should be the same. The numerical parameters may include at least one of: CP, subcarrier spacing, number of time domain symbols included in one slot.
For example, the uplink BWPs in the two serving cells have a correspondence between the uplink BWPs. For example, serving cell 1 may correspond to a first communication point and serving cell 2 may correspond to a second communication point. Serving cell 1 may include { BWP1-1, BWP1-2, BWP1-3}, and serving cell 2 may include { BWP2-1, BWP2-2, BWP2-3 }. There is then a correspondence between BWPi-1 and BWPi-2, and a correlation or relationship between the parameters of these related BWPS. Similarly, there is a correspondence between downlink BWPs in the two serving cells. The above method uses index information of BWPs in a BWP group contained in a serving cell to determine a correspondence relationship between the BWPs. The present embodiment does not exclude whether two frequency domain resources respectively belonging to two CCs overlap to determine the relationship between BWPs. For example, when two BWPs are involved in overlap, it is determined that there is a correspondence between them. Or there may be no overlap but each BWP is active, then we can determine that there is a correspondence between them.
In the existing correspondence, the parameter configuration in one BWP may be related to the parameter configuration of another BWP. The correspondence may include that some parameter values of the two BWPs are the same, and/or some combined values of some parameters of the two BWPs cannot occur at the same time, a value range of parameters in one BWP may be determined according to the parameter values of the other BWP, or the two BWPs may share one parameter indication signaling.
For example, one of the two serving cells may configure the time domain location for uplink transmissions, while the other serving cell may not be configured for downlink transmissions. One serving cell may configure the time domain location for downlink transmissions, while another serving cell may not be configured for uplink transmissions. Or two serving cells may share a set of time domain structure configuration information, where the slot structure configuration information may include an uplink time domain symbol, a downlink time domain symbol, and flexible time domain symbol configuration information included in each slot. The slot structure configuration information may be transmitted through one or more of system messages, RRC signaling, MAC-CE signaling, and PDCCH signaling.
For example, when two serving cells include two pcells and one PUCCH-Scell, PUCCH transmitted in the two cells cannot occupy the same time domain resource, time division based transmission should be used, or when PUCCH time domain overlap in the two cells is not empty, information contained in PUCCH with time domain overlap in the two cells is combined into one PUCCH or one PUSCH and transmitted in one of Pcell or PUCCH-Scell after combination.
For example, if there are two CCs having a correspondence relationship, the parameters may be configured independently, but if one of the CC parameters is not configured, the configuration in the other CC may be shared with the first CC. In another embodiment, some parameters of the serving cell or BWP having the correspondence may be independently configured, and some parameters may share one configuration signal, and the parameter values may be the same.
