Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be obtained by a person skilled in the art without inventive step based on the embodiments of the present invention, are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Some of the techniques involved in the embodiments of the present invention are briefly described below:

1. common Rx beam and independent Rx beam for FR2 inter-band Carrier Aggregation (inter-band CA)

For FR2 User Equipment (UE), the manner in which the millimeter wave antenna is implemented determines the form of the transmit and receive beams (beams). For a terminal device supporting inter-band CA, there are two possible Rx beam capabilities (Rx beam capability), which are:

a Common Beam Management (CBM) UE is a UE capable of performing Common beam management for an FR2 inter-band CA, and an Independent Beam Management (IBM) UE is a UE capable of performing independent beam management for an FR2 inter-band CA.

2. UE capability indication: capability signal (capability signaling)

1) UE capability (IBM/CBM capability) introducing independent beams or common beams for each pair of frequency bands (band pairs)

For the subject of further research (For future studio, FFS), band combinations of multiple bands in a band group introduce band gap levels, and do not consider CBM or IBM.

The corresponding english translation is: an interior frequency separation class for bands with one band group, regardless of CBM or IBM, is FFS.

2) UE capability not introducing per band pair whether to support co-sited deployment

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of supporting co-sited and non co-sited deployments in the prior art. The CBM frequency band of the UE correspondingly supports co-station deployment and meets corresponding requirements; the UE IBM frequency band correspondingly supports co-station and non co-station deployment and meets corresponding requirements.

The corresponding english translation is: UE CBM band pair short supported co-located deployment and meet correcting requirement; UE IBM band pair call supported co-located and non-co-located deployment discovery, and meet correlation retrieval.

The measurement behavior is different for the two types of UEs.

3. Interrupt request

For terminal devices supporting NR CA, there are several cases (TS 38133, chapter 8.2) where Primary Cell (PCell)/Secondary Cell (SCell) causes transmission interruption:

1) Up to 7 secondary cells are configured, de-configured, activated or deactivated, or,

2) Configure or de-configure an additional uplink (Up Link, UL) carrier or an UL carrier, or,

3) Measure Secondary Carrier units (SCCs) using deactivated scells in a NR Secondary Cell Group (SCG), or,

4) The PCell or the SCell turns on a UL/Downlink (DL) working Bandwidth (BWP).

5) Inter-frequency System Frame Number (SFN) to Frame time difference (SFN and Frame time difference, SFTD) between PCell in FR1 and adjacent cells in FR 2.

6) When handover of an uplink carrier is supported, or,

7) When supporting a change in the channel bandwidth of the UE-specific configuration.

(1) SCell addition/release, activation/deactivation, and interruption during SCC measurements may not be required by all UEs.

(2) For UEs that do not support every FR measurement interval, the interruption of PCell and activated SCell may be caused by any frequency range of SCell.

(3) For a UE supporting every FR interval, the interruption of PCell and activated SCell may be caused by the SCell being in the same frequency range as the affected cell.

The corresponding english translation is as follows:

up to 7 SCells are configured,de-configured,activated or deactivated,or

a supplementary UL carrier or an UL carrier is configured or de-configured,or

measurements on SCC with deactivated SCell in NR SCG,or

UL/DL BWP is switched on PCell or SCell.

inter-frequency SFTD between PCell in FR1 and neighbour cell in FR2.

Note1：Interruptions at SCell addition/release,activation/deactivation and during measurements on SCC may not be required by all UEs.

Note2：For a UE which does not support per-FR measurement gaps,interruptions to the PCell and activated SCell may be caused by SCells on any frequency range.

Note3：For UE which support per-FR gaps,interruptions to PCell and activated SCell may be caused by SCells on the same frequency range as the victim cell.

for IBM UEs supporting FR2 inter-band CA combination (combination), reuse the interruption index of the existing inter-band CA;

for CBM UEs that support FR2 inter-band CA combination, the standard discussion is still in progress. There are several possible schemes, as follows:

how to define the interruption requirement of FR2 inter-band CA for CBM UEs:

option 1: the existing interrupt requirements of in-band CA can be applied.

Option 2: the interrupt requirement may be defined as a current interrupt, and adds a synchronization signal block measurement timing configuration information (SMTC) duration, which is the longest SMTC duration in all serving cells in the FR2 band pair.

Option 3: for example, in different band combinations, radio Access Network (RAN) 4 Radio Resource Management (RRM) requires feedback from the RF architecture of a common beam UE for a Radio Frequency (RF) session.

The corresponding english translation is as follows:

How to define the interruption requirements for FR2 inter-band CA for CBM UE.

Option 1:the existing interruption requirements of intra-band CA can be applied.

Option 2:the interruption requirements can be defined as the current interruption with adding a SMTC duration which is the longest SMTC duration among all the serving cells in this FR2 band pair.

Option 3:RAN4 RRM need feedback on the RF architectures of common beam UEs from RF session,e.g.in different band combinations.

the following is a description of the interrupt indicators of the existing inter-band CA, as follows:

TABLE 2

The following is a description of the interruption index of the existing intra-band CA, as follows:

TABLE 3

4. Scheduling restriction (scheduling restriction)

In Rel-15, when a network device configures NR UE to perform Radio Link Monitoring (RLM)/Beam Failure Detection (BFD)/candidate beam scanning (CBD)/L1 (layer 1 ) -RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power) measurement or L3 (layer 3) mobility measurement, it is necessary to additionally limit transmission of X Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols before and after a Reference symbol or a measurement window.

The specific behavior of the UE is defined according to whether the UE supports simultaneous reception of data or reference symbols of different SCS's, whether Rx beam scanning (beam sweep) is supported, and whether Time Division Duplex (TDD) band is supported. There is generally no restriction on the UE transmission behavior of another RF link or another FR if the UE has measurement capability of an independent RF link or each FR.

In addition, in Rel-16, for the UE at FR2 Rx beam surfing, the protocol specifies the following:

(1) The scheduling restriction requirements of the FR2 inter-band CA combination of the CBM UE reuse the scheduling restriction method of the corresponding measurement behaviors on the existing FR 2.

(2) Scheduling restriction requirements for IBM UE

Since RLM/BFD/CBD/L1-RSRP measurement is performed on another FR2 band under the following conditions, there is no scheduling restriction on one FR2 band:

if the UE does not have the capability of supporting simultaneous receiving and transmitting of inter-band CA, the network equipment does not configure information of simultaneous uplink and downlink transmission between two FR2 frequency bands;

if the UE does not have the capability of simultaneously receiving data at different subcarrier intervals on any two carrier units during downlink reception, and supports the capability of simultaneously receiving two different data, the network device does not configure and send data information at different subcarrier intervals on any two carrier units;

if the UE does not have the capability of supporting simultaneous reception of different SCS data and SSB in FR2, the network device does not configure information of different subcarrier spacing between the SSB and data on any frequency band;

[ FFS ] whether scheduling restrictions for the following cases are defined for IBM and CBM UEs.

Case 1: if the UE does not have the capability to support simultaneous transmit and receive inter-band CA, the network device configures simultaneous uplink and downlink transmission of information between the two FR2 bands.

Case 2: if the UE does not have the capability of simultaneously receiving data of different subcarrier intervals on any two carrier units during downlink reception, and supports the capability of simultaneously receiving two different data, the network device configures and sends data information of different subcarrier intervals on any two carrier units.

Case 3: if the UE does not have the capability to support simultaneous reception of different SCS data and SSB in FR2, the network device configures information of different subcarrier spacing between the SSB and data on any frequency band.

The corresponding english translation is as follows:

[Agreement]Scheduling restriction requirements for FR2 inter-band CA combination for CBM UE.

reuse the scheduling restriction method corresponding to the measurement behavior in the existing FR 2.

[Agreement]Scheduling restriction requirements for IBM UE.

There are no scheduling restrictions on one FR2 band due to RLM/BFD/CBD/L1-RSRP measurements being performed on another FR2 band under the following conditions:

network does not configure simultaneous UL/DL between two FR2 bands if the UE does not have such capability of simultaneous Rx Tx Inter Band CA.

network does not configure mixed numerology on two FR2 CCs if the UE does not have the capability of supporting simultaneous reception with two different numerologies between FR2 CCs in DL.

network does not configure mixed numerology between SSB and data on two FR2 bands if the UE does not have such capability of simultaneous Rx Data SSB-Diff Numerology in FR2.

The 3 scenarios described above IBM UEs have no scheduling restrictions.

[FFS]whether to define the scheduling restrictions for the following cases for both IBM UE and CBM UE.

Case 1:network configures simultaneous UL/DL between two FR2 bands if the UE does not have the capability of supporting simultaneous Rx Tx Inter Band CA.

Case 2:network configures mixed numerology on two FR2 CCs if the UE does not have the capability of supporting simultaneous reception with two different numerologies between FR2 CCs in DL.

Case 3:network configures mixed numerology between SSB and data on two FR2 bands if the UE does not have the capability of simultaneous Rx Data SSB-Diff Numerology in FR2.

In Rel-16, a brief description is made of the interrupt behavior and scheduling behavior of the terminal device, as follows:

(1) First, the outage behavior is essentially a restriction on the UE's certain serving cell or carrier transmission behavior.

Regarding the UE supporting inter-Band CA activating/deactivating in the secondary cell, or configuring/de-configuring in the secondary cell, or measuring the secondary carrier (corresponding to the deactivated secondary cell), or switching between uplink (Up Link, UL) working bandwidth (Band width Part, BWP) or downlink (Down Link, DL) BWP, which may cause transmission interruption to the primary carrier or other secondary carriers, the behavior of the corresponding UE is discussed as follows:

for IBM UE supporting FR2 inter-band CA combination, reusing the interruption index of the existing inter-band CA; for CBM UEs that support FR2 inter-band CA combination, the standard discussion is still in progress. There are several possible solutions. Wherein the Radio Access Network (RAN) 4RRM requires feedback from the RF architecture of the common beam UE for Radio Frequency (RF) sessions, e.g. in different band combinations, if option3 is selected. However, how the UE should define the behavior is still unclear. Furthermore, it is not excluded that further solutions will be adopted.

(2) Secondly, scheduling behavior, which is actually an additional transmission limitation imposed while scheduling the UE to perform certain actions to the network device.

For the FR2UE of IBM or CBM, whether simultaneous reception or simultaneous transceiving UE capabilities are supported (as follows), the corresponding UE scheduling restrictions are different. When a network device configures a UE to perform Radio Link Monitoring (RLM)/Beam Failure Detection (BFD)/candidate beam scanning (CBD)/L1 (layer 1 ) -RSRP (Reference Signal reception Power) measurement or L3 (layer 3) mobility measurement, the IBM or CBM UE determines its UE behavior according to whether it has the above capability.

The capabilities may include the following:

simultaneous Rx Tx Inter Band CA, i.e., simultaneous Inter-transmit-receive Band CA, or,

simultaneous Rx Data SSB-Diff Numerology, i.e., simultaneous reception of different subcarrier Spacing (SCS) Data and Synchronization Signal Block (SSB), or,

supporting simultaneous channels with two differential managers between FR2 CCs in DL, i.e. in DL, data of different SCS on two FR2 Carrier units (Component carriers, CCs) are received simultaneously.

If the UE has the above capability, the UE has no additional transmission limitation when the general network device triggers the corresponding inter-band to simultaneously perform the transceiving scheduling. In the current protocol discussion, it is only specified that IBM UEs have no scheduling restrictions in which scenarios (e.g., when the above-mentioned capabilities are not supported and the network device is not configured with the corresponding trigger condition), and CBM UEs have scheduling restrictions in which scenarios. However, there is no conclusion as to how to specify scheduling restrictions when the IBM UE or CBM UE configures corresponding trigger conditions when the network does not have the above capability.

Optionally, (1) when any two cells of the inter-band carrier aggregation are synchronized, X1 is 0, and X2 is 0. Illustratively, the timing relationship of cells corresponding to any two carriers of inter-band CA can be considered here, and if the cells corresponding to any two carriers are synchronized, then neither IBM UE nor CBM UE has additional scheduling restrictions.
