- the channel listening (LBT) before the (PRACH) is blocked.
- the embodiment of the present application provides an uplink signal transmission method.
- the inventive concept of the present application may include:
- the first terminal reserves a first time interval in the uplink data transmission channel (PUSCH), in which the first terminal does not send uplink data, and the first time interval is used by the second terminal to send
- the LBT that is executed before the RA or before the PRACH is named LBT_RA.
- the first time interval is the start time (t1) of the uplink data transmission channel of the first terminal reaching the network device, the end time (t2) of the uplink data transmission channel of the first terminal reaching the network device, and the second terminal performing channel detection.
- the starting time of listening (t3), the ending time at which the second terminal performs channel sounding (t4), the duration of performing channel sounding by the second terminal (T LBT ), and the uplink timing advance amount (TA) of the first terminal One or more related.
- the first time interval is introduced separately for different situations.
- the network device 201 is a base station
- UE1 and UE2 are random access users
- UE0 and UE3 are users that have successfully accessed uplink data transmission requirements.
- UE2 and UE3 are at the cell edge, and the path propagation delay between the two is the same as that of the base station.
- the relative positions of UE0 to UE3 are representative, and it is possible to examine the critical situation (ie, the lightest and heaviest influence) of the impact of the PUSCH of the cell center UE0/cell edge UE3 on the PRACH of the cell center UE1/cell edge UE2, Therefore, the designed method for avoiding the barrier can be applied to various relative positions of users.
- 6A is a schematic diagram of a timing at which a terminal transmits a PUSCH and a timing at which a PUSCH of a terminal arrives at a network device.
- the time t1 and the time t2 are both the start time and the end time of the PUSCH of the UE3 reaching the network device, and the time t7 and the time t8 are the start time and the end time of the actual PUSCH transmission by the UE3 itself.
- the location of the transmission PUSCH allocated by the network device to the UE3 is the slot n and the slot n+1, because there is a path propagation delay between the UE3 and the network device. Therefore, UE3 will advance To transmit PUSCH.
- the starting time t7 at which UE3 actually transmits PUSCH the starting time of slot n
- End time t8 at which UE3 actually transmits PUSCH end time of slot n+1
- the moment when the PUSCH reaches the network device is just the time slot n and the time slot n+1.
- FIG. 6B is a schematic diagram of a first time interval reservation manner provided by the present application.
- FIG. 6B is an example in which the PUSCH transmitted by the UE3 is used to transmit the LBT_RA reserved first time interval, and the UE 1 performs the LBT_RA end time coincidence with the UE3's PUSCH to the UE1.
- the time period in which the network device is configured to transmit the PUSCH for the UE3 is t1 to t2 (for example, t1 to t2 correspond to the time slot n and the time slot n+1), that is, the network device schedules the UE3.
- the time period of the data is t1 to t2.
- t1 is the start time of the PUSCH of the UE3 to reach the network device
- t2 is the end time of the PUSCH of the UE3 to reach the network device. Since UE3 is an edge user, the path transmission delay between UE3 and the network device is Therefore, UE3 needs to be advanced It is necessary to start transmitting the PUSCH to ensure that the PUSCH of the UE3 arrives at the network device just for the time period of t1 to t2. Then, the start time of the UE3 actually transmitting the PUSCH End time at which UE3 actually transmits PUSCH It should be noted that the smaller the value corresponding to the time, that is, the earlier the time for sending.
- the start time of the LBT_RA set by the network device is t3, and the end time of the LBT_RA (that is, the start time of the PRACH sent by the UE1) is t4. Then, since the UE1 is the central user, the path transmission delay between the network device and the network device is 0. Therefore, the start time of the LBT_RA performed by the UE1 is t3, and the end time of the LBT_RA performed by the UE1 is t4.
- the start time of the LBT_RA performed by the UE1 is t3, and the end time of the LBT_RA performed by the UE1 is t4.
- the case where the time t4 coincides with the time t5 is taken as an example, that is, the start time at which the UE1 transmits the PRACH coincides with the start time at which the PUSCH of the UE3 arrives at the UE1.
- T LBT is the length of time required for the UE to perform LBT.
- the UE3 since the time period in which the PUSCH transmitted by the UE3 reaches the UE1 does not overlap with the time period in which the UE1 performs the LBT_RA, it is only necessary to consider the interference of the PUSCH of the UE3 to the LBT_RA of the UE other than the UE1. For example, for the UE2 closest to the UE2, the UE3 reserves at least the TA3 time period to avoid the impact of transmitting the PRACH for the UE2 (ie, avoiding interference to the LBT_RA of the UE2). Obviously, the reserved TA3 time period is also sufficient to avoid interference of the PUSCH of UE3 with the LBT_RA of other users between UE1 and UE2.
- the start time of the first time interval is t7, that is, the start time of the UE3 to transmit the PUSCH
- the first time is the case that the start time of the PU1 of the UE1 coincides with the start time of the PUSCH of the UE3.
- the end time of the interval is t7+TA3, and the duration of the first time interval is equal to TA3, that is, the first TA3 part of the PUSCH of UE3 is reserved, and UE3 starts to transmit the PUSCH only at time t7+TA3.
- the end time of the first time interval can also be changed to It should be noted that the first time interval is indicated by a hatched portion in FIG. 6B.
- FIG. 6C is a schematic diagram of another first time interval reservation manner provided by the present application.
- FIG. 6C considers a case where the PUSCH transmitted by UE0 is used to transmit the LBT_RA reserved first time interval, and the UE 1 performs the LBT_RA end time coincidence with the UE0 PUSCH arrival UE1 start time. Since the path transmission delay of the UE1 is 0, the starting time at which the UE1 transmits the PUSCH is t1, and the ending time at which the UE1 transmits the PUSCH is t2.
- the PUSCH transmitted by UE0 is used to transmit the LBT_RA reserved first time interval
- the UE 1 performs the LBT_RA end time coincidence with the UE0 PUSCH arrival UE1 start time. Since the path transmission delay of the UE1 is 0, the starting time at which the UE1 transmits the PUSCH is t1, and the ending time at which the UE1 transmits the PUSCH is t2.
- the PUSCH of the UE0 since the time period of the PUSCH transmitted by the UE0 does not overlap with the time period in which the UE1 performs the LBT_RA, the PUSCH of the UE0 does not cause interference to the LBT_RA of the UE1.
- the path transmission delay between UE0 and UE2 is The start time of UE0's PUSCH to UE2 The time period in which the PUSCH of UE0 arrives at UE2 does not overlap with the time period in which UE2 performs LBT_RA, and therefore, the PUSCH of UE0 does not cause interference to LBT_RA of UE2. Therefore, UE0 does not need to reserve the first time interval for other terminals.
- the reason why UE0 does not need to reserve the interval for other terminals can also be regarded as because the TA of UE0 is equal to 0. Therefore, the interval reserved by UE0 for other terminals is equivalent to 0.
- the time when UE1 actually performs LBT_RA is the time that the terminal set by the network device performs LBT_RA, because UE2 is The edge user, the time when the UE2 actually executes the LBT_RA is not the time when the terminal set by the network device executes the LBT_RA, but the time that the terminal set by the network device performs the LBT_RA is delayed.
- the start time and end time of the LBT_RA described in this application refer to the start time and end time of the terminal execution LBT_RA set by the network device or specified in the protocol.
- the start time and the end time of the LBT_RA may be derived according to the start time and the end time of the PRACH sent by the terminal set by the network device or specified in the protocol.
- the end time of the execution of the LBT_RA by the UE1 coincides with the start time of the PUSCH of the UE0/UE3 reaching the UE1, the duration of the first time interval that the UE0 needs to reserve is equal to TA0.
- the first terminal delaying TA3 when transmitting the PUSCH to start uplink data transmission and the part of the PUSCH whose beginning length is T LBT is reserved for other terminals to execute LBT_RA. That is to say, the first terminal from The PUSCH is only sent at the moment.
- FIG. 6D is a schematic diagram of another first time interval reservation manner provided by the present application.
- FIG. 6D is an example in which the PUSCH transmitted by the UE3 is used to transmit the LBT_RA reserved first time interval, and the UE 1 performs the LBT_RA end time coincidence with the end time of the PUSCH of the UE3 to reach the UE1 as an example.
- the UE3 since the end time of the LBT_RA performed by the UE1 coincides with the end time of the PUSCH of the UE3 reaching the UE1, the UE3 needs to reserve the T LBT time period at the end of the PUSCH.
- the T LBT refers to the UE1 executing the LBT_RA. The length of time required.

- FIG. 6E is an example in which the PUSCH transmitted by the UE0 is used to transmit the LBT_RA reserved first time interval, and the UE 1 performs the LBT_RA end time coincidence with the UE0 transmission PUSCH end time as an example.
- the time period of the PUSCH transmitted by UE0 overlaps with the time period in which UE1 performs LBT_RA
- the duration of the first time interval that the UE0 needs to reserve is equal to T LBT .
- the start time of the first time interval And the end time of the first time interval The duration of the first time interval that UE3 needs to reserve is equal to T LBT .
- the start time of the first time interval and the end time of the first time interval For the case of FIG. 6D and FIG.
- the first terminal may also terminate the transmission of the uplink data by the T LBT when the PUSCH is transmitted, that is, the transmission of the PUSCH is stopped at the beginning of the first time interval, and the end of the PUSCH is terminated.
- the portion of length T LBT is reserved for other terminals to perform LBT_RA.
- FIG. 6B to FIG. 6E are several special cases given.
- FIG. 6F to FIG. 6K describe other cases in which the UE1 performs the LBT_RA period and the UE3 transmits the PUSCH.

The network device may directly send an index value for indicating the first time interval to the first terminal, where the index value is the foregoing indication information.
- the first terminal After receiving the index value, the first terminal queries the record table shown in Table 1 based on the index value, thereby determining a start position, an end position, or a duration of the first time interval corresponding to the index value. For example, if the index value is 01, the first terminal may determine that the starting position of the first time interval is the starting position of the first symbol of the PUSCH, and the duration of the first time interval is equal to the TA of the first terminal. It should be noted that Table 1 refers to the first time slot of the PUSCH by default.

- the maximum advance or backward offset is one OFDM symbol
- the length of the OFDM symbol is inversely proportional to the subcarrier spacing.
- the duration of LBT on the unlicensed spectrum does not change due to the change of subcarriers. Therefore, when the subcarrier spacing used in PUSCH transmission is large (for example, it is no longer 15KHz, but 30KHz or 60KHz), Table 1 and The maximum offset in Table 2 may correspond to the length of more than one OFDM symbol. For example, when the subcarrier spacing is changed from 15 kHz to 30 kHz, a possible variant of Table 1 is shown in Table 3 because the OFDM symbol length is halved.
- the indication table of the corresponding PUSCH start position and the indication table of the end location may be defined for different subcarrier spacing (SCS), so that the network device may send the table identifier and the index value to the first terminal (for example The network device sends the table identifier and the index value to the first terminal by using DCI signaling. After receiving the table identifier and the index value, the first terminal determines, according to the table identifier, which table is determined, and after determining the table, the first terminal Then, the first time interval corresponding to the index value is queried from the determined table. Therefore, the first terminal can learn the corresponding advance or backward offset of the PUSCH by means of a lookup table. When the first terminal knows the SCS used for its PUSCH transmission, the network device may also not indicate the table identification.
- SCS subcarrier spacing
- the first terminal does not need to adopt an active avoidance manner according to the PRACH slot position to avoid the impact on the LBT before the PRACH, but listens to the signaling of the network device to determine whether to avoid and avoid more. For a long time, in this way, the computational overhead of the first terminal can be reduced, and excessive resource waste caused by the active evasion of the first terminal can be avoided (for example, when the number of PRACH time slots configured in the network is large, but the user actually needs to initiate uplink access) When the number is small).
- the first time interval may also be determined by the first terminal itself, and the embodiment is described in conjunction with FIG. 8C.

Can be used to send PRACH.
- the first terminal can determine whether the uplink transmission affects and affects the LBT before the other users send the PRACH, so that the first terminal can reasonably avoid according to different situations in FIG. 6F to FIG. 6K. .
- the network device also needs to inform the first terminal: the format of the PRACH slot interval (any one in FIG. 7B). That is, let the first terminal explicitly send the relative position of the LBT before the PRACH preamble (before or within the PRACH slot). If an LBT location is defaulted in the standard protocol, the network device does not need to inform the first terminal of the information. Specifically, the network device may notify the first terminal of the format of the PRACH slot interval by separately sending signaling or a broadcast message.
- the slot position used for transmitting the PRACH may be dynamically configured by the network device to the specific user in the manner of L1 control signaling. In this case, other users except the user do not know the dynamic. Configured for the location of the time slot for PRACH transmission. Therefore, when scheduling the uplink transmission of the first terminal, the network device should also determine whether the uplink transmission of the first terminal interferes with one or some dynamically configured PRACH slots. If so, the network device can inform the first terminal of the uplink transmission by using the uplink scheduling grant signaling for the potentially interfered PRACH slot locations.
- the manner of the notification may be to directly inform the specific sequence number of the PRACH time slot, or to inform the relative offset of the PRACH time slot relative to the uplink PUSCH transmission time slot (for example, the offset may be an absolute time interval, or may be an OFDM symbol) The symbol offset of the unit).
- the first terminal can also actively avoid the impact on the LBT before the PRACH is transmitted in the dynamic PRACH slot.
- the network device also needs to inform the first terminal: the duration of the LBT_RA, such as whether to use Cat 2 short LBT or Cat 4 long LBT. If the LBT type is defaulted in the standard protocol, the network device does not need to inform the first terminal of the information.
- the first terminal may also adopt an active avoidance manner according to the location of the PRACH slot to avoid the impact on the LBT before the PRACH, thereby reducing signaling overhead.

Description
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种上行信号传输方法、终端、网络设备及***。
终端或网络设备在非授权频谱上进行数据传输前,通常需要遵守先听后说(Listen Before Talk,LBT)规则,即在发送数据之前需要先进行信道侦听。如果信道空闲,则可以发送数据,反之,则不能发送数据。如图1所示,当第一终端UE0被调度在连续的多个时隙(图1中示例为3个)进行物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,PUSCH)传输时,UE0会在传输开始前进行LBT,如果LBT成功,UE0就可以在信道占用时间(Channel Occupy Time,COT)内连续进行上行传输。但这样一来,如果其他UE(如第二终端UE1)在UE0传输期间发起随机接入(Random Access,RA)过程,需要在物理随机接入信道(Physical Random Access Channel,PRACH)开始前进行LBT,由于UE0此时进行上传传输,会对UE1的LBT造成干扰,使得UE1因为LBT失败而无法发起RA过程,这种现象可以称为上行传输阻隔。PRACH相比PUSCH的优先级或者说重要性更高,如果不对PUSCH对于PRACH的可能产生的阻隔现象加以处理,就会对于用户的上行随机接入造成较大影响。因此,如何避免PUSCH对PRACH的LBT造成干扰是目前需要解决的技术问题。

为了便于了解本申请,首先介绍本申请涉及的无线通信***。
参考图2,图2示出了本申请涉及的无线通信***200。无线通信***200可以工作在授权频段,也可以工作在非授权频段。可以理解的,非授权频段的使用可以提高无线通信***200的***容量。如图2所示,无线通信***200包括:一个或多个网络设备(Base Station)201,一个或多个终端(Terminal)203,以及核心网215。其中:
网络设备201可用于在网络设备控制器(如基站控制器)(未示出)的控制下与终端203通信。在一些实施例中,所述网络设备控制器可以是核心网215的一部分,也可以集成到网络设备201中。
网络设备201可用于通过回程(blackhaul)接口(如S1接口)213向核心网215传输控制信息(control information)或者用户数据(user data)。
网络设备201可以通过一个或多个天线来和终端203进行无线通信。各个网络设备201均可以为各自对应的覆盖范围207提供通信覆盖。网络设备201对应的覆盖范围207可以被划分为多个扇区(sector),其中,一个扇区对应一部分覆盖范围(未示出)。
网络设备201与网络设备201之间也可以通过回程(blackhaul)链接211,直接地或者间接地,相互通信。这里,所述回程链接211可以是有线通信连接,也可以是无线通信连接。
在本申请的一些实施例中,网络设备201可以包括:基站收发台(Base Transceiver Station),无线收发器,一个基本服务集(Basic Service Set,BSS),一个扩展服务集(Extended Service Set,ESS),节点B(Node B),演进的节点B(evolved NodeB,eNB或者eNodeB),下一代节点(next-generation Node B,gNB)等等。无线通信***200可以包括几种不同类型的网络设备201,例如宏基站(macro base station)、微基站(micro base station)等。网络设备201可以应用不同的无线技术,例如小区无线接入技术,或者WLAN无线接入技术。
终端203可以分布在整个无线通信***200中,可以是静止的,也可以是移动的。在本申请的一些实施例中,终端203可以包括:移动设备,移动台(mobile station),移动单元(mobile unit),无线单元,远程单元,用户代理,移动客户端等等。
本申请中,无线通信***200可以是能够工作在非授权频段的LTE通信***,例如LTE-U,也可以是能够工作在非授权频段的5G以及未来新空口等通信***。无线通信***200可以采用授权辅助接入(LAA)方案来处理终端在非授权频段上的接入。在LAA方案中,主小区(Primary Cell)工作在授权频段,传送关键的消息和需要服务质量保证的业务;辅小区(Secondary Cell)工作在非授权频段,用于实现数据平面性能的提升。
本申请中,无线通信***200可以支持多载波(multi-carrier)(不同频率的波形信号)操作。多载波发射器可以在多个载波上同时发射调制信号。例如,每一个通信连接205都可以承载利用不同无线技术调制的多载波信号。每一个调制信号 均可以在不同的载波上发送,也可以承载控制信息(例如参考信号、控制信道等),开销信息(Overhead Information),数据等等。
由于非授权频段属于资源共享频段,因此需要采用一定机制保证使用该频段资源的各个设备之间的公平性。一种竞争资源的方法是基于先听后说(LBT)规则。例如,在无线通信***200中,一些终端203可以向网络设备201发起随机接入过程,终端203发起随机接入过程的第一步也是最关键的一步是向网络设备201发送RA前导(Preamble)。终端203在发送RA前导之前,需要先检测当前信道是否空闲,如果在一段时间内检测到信道空闲,那么该终端203就可以发送RA前导;如果检测到信道被占用,那么该终端203当前就无法发送RA前导。网络设备201可以根据终端203发送的RA前导估计/检测出用户与自身的上行定时偏差,向终端203发送上行定时提前(Timing Advance,TA)量,以便终端203根据所接收到的TA调整其上行传输的起始时刻,从而保证不同用户的上行传输到达网络侧的接收时刻是对齐的。只有当终端203上行传输时间同步之后,才能被网络设备201调度进行上行传输。一些终端203在使用非授权频段时,每个终端203在传输上行数据传输信道(PUSCH)之前,也需要先检测当前信道是否空闲,如果在一段时间内检测到信道空闲,那么该终端203就可以发送PUSCH;如果检测到信道被占用,那么该终端203当前就无法发送PUSCH。
那么,针对图1所示场景,UE0在传输PUSCH的过程中,UE1需要执行PRACH之前的LBT,那么UE0的PUSCH就需要为UE1的LBT预留时间,以便UE1执行LBT成功,避免UE0的PUSCH阻断UE1的随机接入过程,提高了PRACH传输成功率。为了便于描述,在下述实施例中,将PRACH之前进行的LBT命名为LBT_RA,即该LBT_RA是在发送RA之前执行的信道侦听。

基于前述无线通信***200、终端300以及网络设备400分别对应的实施例,在进行上行传输时,为了避免(或者防止)终端的上行数据传输信道(例如PUSCH)对其他终端的物理随机接入信道(PRACH)之前的信道侦听(LBT)造成阻隔,本申请实施例提供了一种上行信号传输方法。
本申请的发明构思可包括:
第一终端在上行数据传输信道(PUSCH)中预留第一时间间隔(spacing),在该第一时间间隔内该第一终端不发送上行数据,该第一时间间隔用于第二终端在发送随机接入前导(RA preamble)之前执行信道侦听(LBT),在本发明实施例中,为了方便描述,将RA之前或PRACH之前执行的LBT命名为LBT_RA。这里,第一时间间隔与第一终端的上行数据传输信道到达网络设备的起始时刻(t1)、第一终端的上行数据传输信道到达网络设备的结束时刻(t2)、第二终端执行信道侦听的起始时刻(t3)、第二终端执行信道侦听的结束时刻(t4)、第二终端执行信道侦听的持续时长(T
LBT)以及第一终端的上行定时提前量(TA)中的一种或多种相关。以下针对不同情况分别介绍第一时间间隔。
以图5为例,假定网络设备201为基站,UE1和UE2是随机接入用户,UE0和UE3是已经接入成功的有上行数据传输需求的用户。位置关系上,UE0和UE1 处于小区中心,假定两者的TA均为0,TA0=TA1=0,即基站到UE0和UE1的路径传播时延为0。UE2和UE3处于小区边缘,且假定两者与基站间的路径传播时延相同(由于上行定时提前量TA等于2倍的路径传播时延,因此,UE2和UE3的TA也相同,分别记作TA2和TA3,TA2=TA3),同时假定UE2和UE3彼此非常邻近(即UE2和UE3之间的相对路径传播时延为0)。显然,UE0~UE3的相对位置具有代表性,能够考察小区中心UE0/小区边缘UE3的PUSCH对于小区中心UE1/小区边缘UE2的PRACH的阻隔影响的临界情况(即最轻和最重的影响),从而使得设计出的避免阻隔的方法能够适用于各种用户相对位置情况。
参见图6A,为终端发送PUSCH的时刻与终端的PUSCH到达网络设备的时刻的示意图。其中,t1时刻和t2时刻均是UE3的PUSCH到达网络设备的起始时刻和结束时刻,t7时刻和t8时刻是UE3自身实际发送PUSCH的起始时刻和结束时刻。例如,网络设备为UE3分配的传输PUSCH的位置为时隙n和时隙n+1,由于UE3与网络设备之间存在路径传播时延
因此,UE3会提前
来传输PUSCH。也即是说,UE3实际发送PUSCH的起始时刻t7=时隙n的起始时刻
UE3实际发送PUSCH的结束时刻t8=时隙n+1的结束时刻
PUSCH达到网络设备的时刻就刚好为时隙n和时隙n+1。
参见图6B,是本申请提供的一种第一时间间隔预留方式的示意图。图6B考虑的是UE3发送的PUSCH为其他终端发送LBT_RA预留第一时间间隔的情况,且以UE1执行LBT_RA的结束时刻与UE3的PUSCH到达UE1的起始时刻重合为例进行的说明。在图6B中,假设网络设备为UE3配置的发送PUSCH的时间段为t1~t2(例如t1~t2对应的是时隙n以及时隙n+1),也即是说,网络设备调度UE3的数据的时间段为t1~t2。其中,t1为UE3的PUSCH到达网络设备的起始时刻,t2为UE3的PUSCH到达网络设备的结束时刻。由于UE3为边缘用户,UE3与网络设备之间的路径传输时延为
因此,UE3需要提前
就要开始发送PUSCH,以保证UE3的PUSCH到达网络设备时刚好为时间段为t1~t2。那么,UE3实际发送PUSCH的起始时刻
UE3实际发送PUSCH的结束时刻
需要说明的是,时刻对应的值越小,也即代表发送的时间越早。对于时隙或符号这些时域单位来说,需要将时刻的值对应到时隙或符号上。假设网络设备设定的LBT_RA的起始时刻为t3,LBT_RA的结束时刻(也就是UE1发送PRACH的起始时刻)为t4。则由于UE1为中心用户,与网 络设备之间的路径传输时延为0,因此,UE1执行LBT_RA的起始时刻为t3,UE1执行LBT_RA的结束时刻为t4。在图6B中,是以t4时刻刚好与t5时刻重合为例进行描述的,也即是说,UE1发送PRACH的起始时刻与UE3的PUSCH到达UE1的起始时刻重合。由于UE2为边缘用户,与网络设备之间的路径传输时延为
并且UE2发送LBT_RA是以自身的下行定时作为基准的,因此,UE2执行LBT_RA的起始时刻=t7+TA3-T
LBT,UE2执行LBT_RA的结束时刻=t7+TA3。这里,T
LBT为UE执行LBT所需要的时长。之所以UE2执行LBT_RA的起始时刻=t7+TA3-T
LBT,UE2执行LBT_RA的结束时刻=t7+TA3是因为:UE3与UE2为邻近用户,且TA3=TA2,UE3自身的下行定时与上行发送PUSCH之间的时长差值为TA3,因此,UE2执行LBT_RA的起始时刻=t7+TA3-T
LBT,UE2执行LBT_RA的结束时刻=t7+TA3。
如图6B所示,由于UE3发送的PUSCH到达UE1的时间段与UE1执行LBT_RA的时间段没有交叠,因此,只需要考虑UE3的PUSCH对除了UE1以外的其他UE的LBT_RA的干扰即可。比如,对于距离最近的UE2,UE3至少预留TA3时间段才能避免对于UE2发送PRACH的影响(即避免对UE2的LBT_RA的干扰)。显然,预留TA3时间段也足以避免UE3的PUSCH对于处于UE1和UE2之间的其他用户的LBT_RA的干扰。因此,针对UE1发送PRACH的起始时刻与UE3的PUSCH到达UE1的起始时刻重合这种情况来说,第一时间间隔的起始时刻为t7,即UE3发送PUSCH的起始时刻,第一时间间隔的结束时刻为t7+TA3,第一时间间隔的持续时长等于TA3,也即是说,UE3的PUSCH的最开始TA3部分被预留出,UE3在t7+TA3时刻才开始发送PUSCH。第一时间间隔的结束时刻也可以换作是
需要说明的是,第一时间间隔在图6B中以阴影部分来表示。
参见图6C,是本申请提供的另一种第一时间间隔预留方式的示意图。图6C考虑的是UE0发送的PUSCH为其他终端发送LBT_RA预留第一时间间隔的情况,且以UE1执行LBT_RA的结束时刻与UE0的PUSCH到达UE1的起始时刻重合为例进行的说明。由于UE1的路径传输时延为0,因此,UE1发送PUSCH的起始时刻是t1,UE1发送PUSCH的结束时刻是t2。在图6C中,由于UE0发送的PUSCH的时间段与UE1执行LBT_RA的时间段没有交叠,因此,UE0的PUSCH对UE1的LBT_RA不造成干扰。并且,UE0到UE2之间的路径传输时延为
UE0的PUSCH到达UE2的起始时刻
UE0的PUSCH到达UE2的时间段与UE2执行LBT_RA的时间段没有交叠,因此,UE0的PUSCH对UE2的LBT_RA不造成干扰。因此,UE0无需为其他终端预留第一时间间隔。UE0无需为其他终端预留间隔的原因也可以看作是因为UE0的TA等于0,因此,UE0为其他终端预留的间隔相当于为0。
需要说明的是,在图6B和图6C中,由于UE1是邻近网络设备的终端,且TA1=0,因此,UE1实际执行LBT_RA的时间就是网络设备设定的终端执行LBT_RA的时间,由于UE2是边缘用户,UE2实际执行LBT_RA的时间并非网络设备设定的终端执行LBT_RA的时间,而是网络设备设定的终端执行LBT_RA的时间再延迟
除非特殊说明,否则本申请中介绍的LBT_RA的起始时刻和结束时刻指的是网络设备设定的或者协议中规定的终端执行LBT_RA的起始时刻和结束时刻。当然,LBT_RA的起始时刻和结束时刻可以根据网络设备设定的或者协议中规定的终端发送PRACH的起始时刻和结束时刻推导出。
结合图6B和图6C来看,如果UE1执行LBT_RA的结束时刻与UE0/UE3的PUSCH到达UE1的起始时刻重合,那么UE0需要预留的第一时间间隔的持续时长等于TA0。且第一时间间隔的起始时刻=t1,且第一时间间隔的结束时间=t1+TA0,第一时间间隔的结束时刻也可以换作是
UE3需要预留的第一时间间隔的持续时长等于TA3。且第一时间间隔的起始时刻=t7,且第一时间间隔的结束时间=t7+TA3,第一时间间隔的结束时刻也可以换作是
针对图6B和图6C的情况,也可以相当于是第一终端在发送PUSCH时延迟TA3才开始上行数据的传输,将PUSCH的开头长度为T
LBT的部分预留出以供其他终端执行LBT_RA,也即是说,第一终端从
时刻才开始发送PUSCH。
参见图6D,是本申请提供的另一种第一时间间隔预留方式的示意图。图6D考虑的是UE3发送的PUSCH为其他终端发送LBT_RA预留第一时间间隔的情况,且以UE1执行LBT_RA的结束时刻与UE3的PUSCH到达UE1的结束时刻重合为例进行的说明。在图6D中,由于UE1执行LBT_RA的结束时刻与UE3的PUSCH到达UE1的结束时刻重合,因此,UE3需要将PUSCH末尾的T
LBT时间段预留出,这里,T
LBT指的是UE1执行LBT_RA所需的时长。并且,由于UE2执行LBT_RA的时间段与UE3发送PUSCH的时间段无交叠,因此,只需考虑UE3的PUSCH对UE1执行LBT_RA的干扰即可。在这种情况下,第一时间间隔的持续时长=T
LBT,第一时间间隔的起始时刻=t8-T
LBT,第一时间间隔的结束时刻=t8。其中,第一时间间隔的起始时刻也可以看作
第一时间间隔的结束时刻也可以看作
参见图6E,是本申请提供的另一种第一时间间隔预留方式的示意图。图6E考虑的是UE0发送的PUSCH为其他终端发送LBT_RA预留第一时间间隔的情 况,且以UE1执行LBT_RA的结束时刻与UE0发送PUSCH的结束时刻重合为例进行的说明。在图6E中,由于UE0发送的PUSCH的时间段与UE1执行LBT_RA的时间段有交叠,并且,UE0到UE2之间的路径传输时延为
UE0的PUSCH到达UE2的时间段与UE2执行LBT_RA的时间段也有交叠,因此,UE0需为其他终端预留第一时间间隔。第一时间间隔的持续时长=T
LBT,第一时间间隔的起始时刻
第一时间间隔的结束时刻=t4。
结合图6D和图6E来看,如果UE1执行LBT_RA的结束时刻与UE0/UE3的PUSCH到达UE1的结束时刻重合,那么UE0需要预留的第一时间间隔的持续时长等于T
LBT。且第一时间间隔的起始时刻
且第一时间间隔的结束时间
UE3需要预留的第一时间间隔的持续时长等于T
LBT。且第一时间间隔的起始时刻
且第一时间间隔的结束时间
针对图6D和图6E的情况,也可以相当于是第一终端在发送PUSCH时提前T
LBT结束上行数据的传输,即在第一时间间隔的起始时刻就会停止PUSCH的传输,将PUSCH的末尾长度为T
LBT的部分预留出以供其他终端执行LBT_RA。
上述图6B~图6E的情况是给出的几种特殊情况,下面结合图6F~图6K来描述UE1执行LBT_RA的时间段与UE3发送PUSCH的时间段的另外几种情况。
参见图6F,如果t1-t4=tF≥TA3,则UE3的PUSCH不会对其他终端的LBT_RA造成干扰,因此,UE3也就无需预留第一时间间隔。同理,对于UE0来说,TA0=0,如果t1-t4=tF≥0,则UE0的PUSCH不会对其他终端的LBT_RA造成干扰,因此,UE0也就无需预留第一时间间隔。
参见图6G,如果t1-t4=tF≥0,且tF<TA3,则UE3的PUSCH会对其他终端的LBT_RA造成干扰,因此,UE3需预留第一时间间隔。且第一时间间隔的起始时刻为t7,第一时间间隔的结束时刻
其中,图6B是图6G的一种特殊情况,即t1-t4=tF=0时,第一时间间隔的起始时刻为
第一时间间隔的结束时刻
参见图6H,如果t4-t1=Tf,且0<Tf≤T
LBT,则UE3的PUSCH会对其他终 端的LBT_RA造成干扰,因此,UE3需预留第一时间间隔。且第一时间间隔的起始时刻为t7,第一时间间隔的结束时刻
参见图6J,如果t4-t1=Tf,且
则UE3需预留第一时间间隔。且第一时间间隔的起始时刻为
第一时间间隔的结束时刻
其中,图6D是图6J的一种特殊情况,即当t4=t2时,第一时间间隔的起始时刻为
第一时间间隔的结束时刻=
参见图6K,如果t4-t1=Tf,且Tf≥t2-t1+T
LBT,则UE3无需预留第一时间间隔。
同理,UE0同样适用上述图6F~图6K所得出的结论。
需要说明的是,上述t3和t4可以是网络设备确定的终端可以进行LBT_RA的时域位置,网络设备确定之后会将这些LBT_RA的时域位置或PRACH时隙的时域位置告知其覆盖范围内的全部终端,因此,该覆盖范围内的所有终端即可获知在时域上的哪些位置可能会进行LBT_RA或哪些位置会发送PRACH。当然,t3和t4也可以是协议规定的,这种情况下,网络设备无需告知终端LBT_RA的时域位置或PRACH时隙的时域位置。
参见图7A,是一种PRACH时隙间隔的格式示意图。RA前导在PRACH上的一个PRACH时隙间隔内发送。通常RA前导的格式一般是由循环前缀(Cyclic Prefix,CP)和前导序列(Sequence)组成。其中,前导序列可以是一个单独的序列,也可以是一个序列的两次或多次重复,还可以是两个或多个序列的组合。一般地,在PRACH时隙间隔末尾会预留保护间隔(Guard Period,GP)。GP的时长TGP(Time of GP)一般不大于CP的时长TCP(Time of CP),而前导序列的时长(Time of Sequence,TSEQ)一般要远大于TCP。TCP和TGP的最小值决定了RA前导所适用的最大小区半径。CP和GP的作用可以理解为,在发起非同步随机接入时,UE只取得了下行时钟同步,尚未对不同UE由于与网络侧距离不同造 成的上行时钟差异进行调整,不同UE的前导序列并不是同时到达网络侧,这样就会造成小区内多用户之间的干扰。因此,RA前导序列前后需要分别添加CP和GP,以消除用户之间的干扰且避免因传播时延对PRACH时隙间隔之后的数据传输造成干扰。
本发明实施例中所描述的“PRACH之前的LBT”,即LBT_RA,是指在发送RA前导(preamble)之前进行的LBT。在一种实施例中,LBT_RA是在PRACH时隙间隔之前进行的,在另一种实施例中,LBT_RA是在PRACH时隙间隔之内进行的。不管是哪种情况,LBT_RA都是在RA前导(preamble)之前进行的。具体的,LBT_RA与PRACH时隙间隔的位置关系可以参考图7B所示。图7B中共示出了LBT_RA与PRACH时隙间隔的5种位置关系。其中,针对第一种位置来说,LBT_RA是在PRACH时隙间隔之前进行的,即LBT_RA不影响PRACH时隙间隔和RA前导的结构。第二种至第四种位置关系中,LBT_RA均是在PRACH时隙间隔之内进行的。针对第二种位置关系来说,LBT_RA是在PRACH时隙间隔内的CP中进行的,此时,LBT_RA会挤占/压缩RA前导的CP长度,也即是说,在进行了LBT_RA成功之后才会发送RA前导,这种情况也可以相当于LBT_RA是在PRACH时隙间隔内且在RA前导前进行的。针对第三种位置关系来说,LBT_RA是在PRACH时隙间隔内且在RA前导前进行,此时CP和前导序列的长度维持不变,而是挤占/压缩GP的长度。针对第四种位置关系来说,LBT_RA在PRACH时隙间隔内进行且在RA前导前进行的,维持前导序列长度不变,同时压缩CP和GP的长度(比如,CP和GP各自缩短0.5*T
LBT,其中T
LBT指发送RA前导前进行LBT的时长)。针对第五种位置关系来说,LBT_RA是在PRACH时隙间隔内进行且在RA前导前进行的,维持CP和GP长度不变,压缩前导序列长度。对于第一种位置关系来说,LBT_RA的起始时刻=PRACH时隙间隔的起始位置-T
LBT,LBT_RA的结束时刻=PRACH时隙间隔的起始位置。对于第二种位置关系至第五种位置关系来说,LBT_RA的起始时刻=PRACH时隙间隔的起始位置,LBT_RA的结束时刻=PRACH时隙间隔的起始位置+T
LBT。
参见图8A,是本申请提供的一种上行信号传输方法的流程示意图。该方法包括但不限于如下步骤:
S101,第一终端确定第一时间间隔。
本发明实施例中,在第一种实施方式中,第一时间间隔是由网络设备确定并发送给第一终端的。在第二种实施方式中,第一时间间隔是由第一终端自己确定的。后续将分别结合图8B和图8C对这两种实施方式进行详细说明。
S102,第一终端在上行数据传输信道中预留第一时间间隔,在第一时间间隔内第一终端不发送上行数据,第一时间间隔用于第二终端在发送随机接入前导之前执行信道侦听。
本发明实施例中,第一时间间隔由以下参数中的一种或多种确定:上行数据传输信道到达网络设备的起始时刻(t1)、上行数据传输信道到达网络设备的结 束时刻(t2)、第二终端执行信道侦听的起始时刻(t3)、第二终端执行信道侦听的结束时刻(t4)、第二终端执行信道侦听的持续时长(T
LBT)以及第一终端的上行定时提前量(TA)。结合图6G~图6J来描述第一时间间隔的四种情况。
在第一种情况,参考图6G所示,第一时间间隔是由上行数据传输信道到达网络设备的起始时刻(t1)、第二终端执行信道侦听的结束时刻(t4)以及第一终端的上行定时提前量(TA)这几个参数确定的。在这种情况下,当满足条件:0≤t1-t4<TA时,可以确定出第一时间间隔的起始时刻
且所述第一时间间隔的结束时刻
在第二种情况中,参考图6H所示,第一时间间隔是由第一时间间隔是由上行数据传输信道到达网络设备的起始时刻(t1)、第二终端执行信道侦听的结束时刻(t4)、第二终端执行信道侦听的持续时长(T
LBT)以及第一终端的上行定时提前量(TA)这几个参数确定的。在这种情况下,当满足条件:0<t4-t1≤T
LBT时,可以确定出
且
在第三种情况中,参考图6I所示,第一时间间隔是由第一时间间隔是由上行数据传输信道到达网络设备的起始时刻(t1)、第一时间间隔是由上行数据传输信道到达网络设备的结束时刻(t2)、第二终端执行信道侦听的结束时刻(t4)、第二终端执行信道侦听的持续时长(T
LBT)以及第一终端的上行定时提前量(TA)这几个参数确定的。在这种情况下,当满足条件:
时,可以确定出
且
在第四种情况中,参考图6J所示,第一时间间隔是由第一时间间隔是由第一时间间隔是由上行数据传输信道到达网络设备的起始时刻(t1)、第一时间间隔是由上行数据传输信道到达网络设备的结束时刻(t2)、第二终端执行信道侦听的结束时刻(t4)、第二终端执行信道侦听的持续时长(T
LBT)以及第一终端的上行定时提前量(TA)这几个参数确定的。在这种情况下,当满足条件:t2
时,可以确定出
且
在一些情况下,第一终端在上行数据传输信道的最开始预留出第一时间间隔,也即是说,第一终端延迟发送上行数据传输信道。预留出的第一时间间隔用于其他终端执行LBT_RA。也即是说,第一终端在第一时间间隔的结束时刻才会开始传输PUSCH。
在另一些情况下,第一终端在上行数据传输信道的末尾预留出第一时间间隔,也即是说,第一终端提前结束上行数据传输信道的发送。预留出的第一时间间隔用于其他终端执行LBT_RA。也即是说,第一终端在第一时间间隔的起始时刻就会停止传输PUSCH。
在另一些情况下,第一终端在上行数据传输信道的中间部分预留出第一时间间隔。预留出的第一时间间隔用于其他终端执行LBT_RA。也即是说,第一终端在第一时间间隔的起始时刻停止传输PUSCH,在第一时间间隔的结束时刻又继续传输PUSCH。
可选的,第一时间间隔是由网络设备确定并发送给第一终端的,结合图8B对该种实施方式进行描述。
如图8B所示,在步骤S101之前,还包括步骤S102和S103。其中,
S102:网络设备向第一终端发送用于指示第一时间间隔的指示信息,第一终端接收网络设备发送的该指示信息。
本发明实施例中,该指示信息可以用于指示第一时间间隔的起始时刻以及第一时间间隔的结束时刻;或者,该指示信息可以用于指示第一时间间隔的起始时刻以及第一时间间隔的持续时长;或者,该指示信息可以用于指示第一时间间隔的结束时刻以及第一时间间隔的持续时长。或者,该指示信息可以用于指示第一时间间隔的起始符号和/或起始时隙以及第一时间间隔的结束符号和/或结束时隙;或者,该指示信息可以用于指示第一时间间隔的起始符号和/或起始时隙以及第一时间间隔的持续时长;或者,该指示信息可以用于指示第一时间间隔的结束符号和/或结束时隙以及第一时间间隔的持续时长。也即是说,网络设备可以将第一时间间隔转换为符号和/或时隙上的位置。针对这几种实现方式,第一终端在接收到该指示信息后,就能够直接获知第一时间间隔。
例如,针对图6G所示的第一种情况来说,第一时间间隔的起始时刻=第一终端发送上行数据传输信道的起始时刻,且第一时间间隔的结束时刻=第二终端执行信道侦听的结束时刻
第一终端的上行定时提前量(TA)。则,网络设备可以直接将第一时间间隔的起始时刻以及第一时间间隔的持续时长发送给第一终端,第一终端就能够直接获知第一时间间隔。或者,网络设备将第一时间间隔的起始时刻所对应的时隙以及符号位置以及第一时间间隔所需的时长:Ceil((第二终端执行信道侦听的结束时刻(t4)+第一终端的上行定时提前量(TA)-t1)/OS_length)个OFDM符号(Ceil操作表示向上取整,OS_length为OFDM符号长度)发送给第一终端,第一终端就能够直接获知第一时间间隔。或者,网络设备将第一时间间隔的结束时刻以及第一时间间隔的持续时长发送给第一终端,第一终端就能够直接获知第一时间间隔。或者,网络设备将第一时间间隔的结束时刻以及第一时间间隔所需的时长:Ceil((第二终端执行信道侦听的结束时刻(t4)+第一终端的上行定时提前量(TA)-t1)/OS_length)个OFDM符 号(Ceil操作表示向上取整,OS_length为OFDM符号长度)发送给第一终端,第一终端就能够直接获知第一时间间隔。或者,网络设备可以直接将第一时间间隔的起始时刻以及第一时间间隔的结束时刻发送给第一终端,第一终端就能够直接获知第一时间间隔。
若网络设备与终端预先协商好第一时间间隔所需的时长,则指示信息也可以仅仅用于指示第一时间间隔的起始时刻或者第一时间间隔的结束时刻即可。
可选的,在执行步骤S102之前,网络设备需要先确定第一时间间隔。
本发明实施例中,网络设备确定第一时间间隔的起始时刻以及第一时间间隔的结束时刻的方式可以参考上述步骤S101中描述的第一种情况~第四种情况,此处不再赘述。
可选的,上述指示信息可以是网络设备通过信令方式告知第一终端的。这里,信令可以包括但不限于下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)。
可选的,第一时间间隔的粒度可以为符号、时隙或者微秒(us)。
可选的,在步骤S102之后,步骤S101之前,还包括:第一终端根据网络设备发送的指示信息确定第一时间间隔。
例如,针对上述图6B或图6C所示实施例来说,网络设备可以直接指示第一终端的PUSCH的起始位置的推迟量TA,或者指示放弃传输最开始的Ceil(TA/OS_length)个OFDM符号(Ceil操作表示向上取整,OS_length为OFDM符号长度),还可以设计如下的表格1加以指示。其中,表1中假定一个上行时隙中包含14个OFDM符号,25us相当于一次Cat2LBT的时长(此处假设终端执行的LBT_RA是Cat2LBT)。表1中,索引值“00”表示不预留间隔,可以从PUSCH的第一个符号开始传输。索引值“01”表示预留TA,即PUSCH的最开始TA部分被丢弃不发送。索引值“10”表示预留(25+TA)us,即PUSCH的最开始前(25+TA)us被丢弃不发送。索引值“11”表示预留一个符号的间隔,从PUSCH的第二个符号开始传输。需要说明的是,第一终端和网络设备处均可以存储表1。网络设备可以直接向第一终端发送用于指示第一时间间隔的索引值,该索引值即为上述指示信息。第一终端收到该索引值后,基于该索引值查询表1所示记录表,从而确定该索引值所对应的第一时间间隔的起始位置、结束位置或持续时长。例如,索引值为01,则第一终端可以确定出第一时间间隔的起始位置是PUSCH的第一个符号的起始位置,第一时间间隔的持续时长等于第一终端的TA。需要说明的是,表1默认参照的是PUSCH的第一个时隙。TA为第一终端在随机接入过程中网络设备发送给第一终端的。
表1
索引值 | PUSCH的起始位置 |
00 | symbol 0 |
01 | TA in symbol 0 |
10 | (25+TA)μs in symbol 0 |
11 | symbol 1 |
针对上述图6D或图6E所示实施例来说,网络设备可以直接指示第一终端的PUSCH的结束位置的提前量T
LBT,或者指示放弃传输最后Ceil(T
LBT/OS_length)个OFDM符号(Ceil操作表示向上取整,OS_length为OFDM符号长度),还可以设计如下的表格1加以指示。其中,表1中假定一个上行时隙中包含14个OFDM符号,25us相当于一次Cat2LBT的时长(此处假设终端执行的LBT_RA是Cat2LBT)。表2中,索引值“00”表示PUSCH在符号13(即第14个符号)的结束时刻结束,即不提前结束。索引值“11”表示PUSCH在符号12(即第13个符号)的结束时刻结束,即提前一个符号结束。索引值“01”表示PUSCH在符号13的结束时刻之前的25us处提前结束。索引值“10”表示PUSCH在符号13的结束时刻之前的(25+TA)us处提前结束。需要说明的是,第一终端和网络设备处均可以存储表2。网络设备可以直接向第一终端发送用于指示第一时间间隔的索引值,第一终端收到该索引值后,基于该索引值查询表2所示记录表,从而确定该索引值所对应的第一时间间隔的起始位置和/或持续时长。例如,索引值为01,则第一终端可以确定出第一时间间隔的起始位置是PUSCH的最后一个时隙中的符号13结束时刻之前的25us处,且第一时间间隔的持续时长为25us。需要说明的是,表2默认参照的是PUSCH的最后一个时隙。
表2
索引值 | PUSCH的结束位置 |
00 | symbol 13 |
01 | -25μs in symbol 13 |
10 | -(25+TA)μs in symbol 13 |
11 | symbol 12 |
需要说明的是,网络设备除了向第一终端发送索引值以外,还需要向第一终端发送表格标识,该表格标识是用于指示该索引值对应的是上述表1还是表2所对应的表格。第一终端接收到该表格标识和索引值之后,根据该表格标识来确定是上述表1还是表2,确定了表格之后,第一终端再从确定的表格中去查询索引 值对应的第一时间间隔。
在表1和表2这种查找表的指示方式中,针对的子载波间隔为15KHz,最大的提前或推后偏移量为一个OFDM符号,而这个OFDM符号的长度与子载波间隔成反比。但非授权频谱上进行LBT的时长却不会因为子载波的变化而变化,所以当PUSCH传输所采用的子载波间隔较大时(比如不再是15KHz,而是30KHz或者60KHz),表1和表2中的最大偏移量可能会对应不止一个OFDM符号的长度。比如,当子载波间隔从15KHz变为30KHz时,由于OFDM符号长度减半,表1的一种可能的变种如表3所示。实现中,可以针对不同的子载波间隔(Sub Carrier Spacing,SCS)定义相应的PUSCH起始位置的指示表格和结束位置的指示表格,从而网络设备可以向第一终端发送表格标识以及索引值(比如,网络设备通过DCI信令向第一终端发送表格标识以及索引值),第一终端接收到该表格标识和索引值之后,根据该表格标识来确定是哪个表格,确定了表格之后,第一终端再从确定的表格中去查询索引值对应的第一时间间隔。因此,第一终端可以通过查找表的方式获知PUSCH相应的提前或推后偏移量。当第一终端已知其PUSCH传输所采用的SCS时,网络设备也可以不予指示表格标识。
表3
索引值 | PUSCH的起始位置 |
00 | symbol 0 |
01 | TA in symbol 0-1 |
10 | (25+TA)μs in symbol 0-1 |
11 | symbol 2 |
在图8B所示实施例中,第一终端无需自行根据PRACH时隙位置采取主动避让的方式来避免对于PRACH之前的LBT的影响,而是听命于网络设备的信令来决定是否避让以及避让多长时间,这样,一来可以减少第一终端的计算开销,还可以避免第一终端主动避让造成的过度资源浪费(比如当网络配置的PRACH时隙较多,但实际需要发起上行接入的用户数较少时)。
可选的,第一时间间隔也可以是由第一终端自己确定的,结合图8C对该种实施方式进行描述。
如图8C所示,在步骤S101之前,还包括步骤S104和S105。其中,
S104:网络设备向第一终端发送用于确定第一时间间隔的参数,该参数包括如下一种或多种:第一终端的上行数据传输信道到达网络设备的起始时刻、上行数据传输信道到达网络设备的结束时刻、用于发送随机接入前导的起始时刻、第二终端执行信道侦听的持续时长以及第一终端的上行定时提前量。
S105:第一终端从网络设备接收上述一种或多种参数。第一终端该一种或多种参数确定出第一时间间隔。
本发明实施例中,第一终端确定第一时间间隔的起始时刻以及第一时间间隔的结束时刻的方式可以参考上述步骤S101中描述的第一种情况~第四种情况,此处不再赘述。
可选的,上行数据传输信道到达网络设备的起始时刻、上行数据传输信道到达网络设备的结束时刻、用于发送随机接入前导的起始时刻、第二终端执行信道侦听的持续时长以及第一终端的上行定时提前量可以是网络设备广播的,也可以是网络设备通过信令方式发送给第一终端的。
可选的,上述信令包括但不限于DCI信令。
可选的,第一时间间隔的粒度可以为符号、时隙或者微秒(us)。
可选的,第一终端在执行步骤S101之前,网络设备还向第一终端发送用于指示是否需要预留间隔的指示信息,该指示信息用于指示第一终端是否需要为其他终端执行LBT_RA避让时间。第一终端接收网络设备发送的该指示信息,若该指示信息指示需要预留间隔,则第一终端根据上述步骤S101中的第一种情况~第四种情况来判断第一时间间隔的起始时刻和结束时刻。若该指示信息指示不需要预留间隔,则第一终端无需为其他终端预留时间。具体的,该指示信息可以通过信令方式告知第一终端。
可选的,用于发送PRACH的时隙位置可以是由网络设备以广播方式配置的,那么在一定范围内的多个用户(比如一个基站覆盖范围内的不同用户)均可以获知哪些时域位置可以用于发送PRACH。
在图8C所示实施例中,第一终端可以自行判断其上行传输是否会影响以及以哪种方式影响到其他用户发送PRACH前的LBT,从而可以按照图6F~图6K的不同情况进行合理避让。此时,网络设备还需要告知第一终端:PRACH时隙间隔的格式(图7B中的任意一种)。即让第一终端明确发送PRACH前导之前的LBT的相对位置(在PRACH时隙之前或之内)。如果标准协议中默认一种LBT位置,则网络设备无需告知第一终端该信息。具体的,网络设备可以通过单独发送信令的方式或者广播消息方式将PRACH时隙间隔的格式告知第一终端。
需要说明的是,用于发送PRACH的时隙位置还可以是由网络设备以L1控制信令的方式动态向特定用户配置的,此时,除所述用户外的其他用户是不知道所述动态配置的用于PRACH传输的时隙位置的。于是,网络设备在调度第一终端的上行传输时,还应该判断该第一终端的上行传输是否会干扰到某个或某些动态配置的PRACH时隙。如果是,则网络设备可以把这些潜在被干扰的PRACH时隙位置通过上行调度授权信令告知给上行传输的第一终端。通知的方式可以是直接告知PRACH时隙的具体序号,或者告知PRACH时隙相对于上行PUSCH传输时隙的相对偏移(比如,该偏移量可以是绝对时间间隔,也可以是以OFDM符号为单位的符号偏移量)。第一终端也可以主动避开对于在动态PRACH时隙内发送PRACH前的LBT的影响。
网络设备还需要告知第一终端:LBT_RA的时长,比如是采用Cat 2短LBT还是采用Cat 4长LBT。如果标准协议中默认一种LBT类型,则网络设备无需告知第一终端该信息。
在图8C所示实施例中,第一终端也可以自行根据PRACH时隙位置采取主动避让的方式来避免对于PRACH之前的LBT的影响,从而减少信令开销。
