Description

数据传输时的波束确定方法及装置、存储介质、UE、基站
本申请要求2020年4月27日提交中国专利局、申请号为202010345568.2、发明名称为“数据传输时的波束确定方法及装置、存储介质、UE、基站”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。

在第五代通信协议(5Generation,简称5G)新空口(New Radio,简称NR)中,支持多波束(beam)操作,每个波束对应一个同步信号块(Synchronization Signal and PBCH block,简称SSB),都能接入用户设备(User Equipment,简称UE)。在标准文本(release(Rel)-15/Rel-16,简称R15/R16)中,UE在没有数据收发的时候,基站可以指示UE进行不活跃(Inactive)状态,处于Inactive状态的UE可通过随机接入(Random Access,简称RA)过程转入连接态。标准文本Rel-17(简称R17)支持Inactive状态下UE在PUR上进行数据传输,发送上行数据。然而如果基站配置是多SSB操作,UE传完上行数据后,基站需要知道在哪个SSB给UE发送响应消息。如果基站用所有可用的SSB给UE发响应消息,能保证UE收到响应消息。 然而,基站在所有SSB传输响应消息会导致不必要的资源浪费,且增加了基站的功率消耗。

具体实施方式
根据背景技术可知,LTE支持空闲(IDLE)态在预配置上行资源上传输数据。基站可在连接态通过无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,简称RRC)连接释放消息为UE配置进入空闲态进行数据传输的预配置上行资源,基站可对预配置的资源进行更新。UE在预配置的上行资源进行数据传输之后,需要监听对应的响应窗接收基站发送的响应消息。
现有技术中在R15版本中,NR引入不活跃(Inactive)状态,当UE没有数据收发的时候,基站可以指示UE进行Inactive状态。UE在Inactive状态和空闲(IDLE)状态下的行为相同,此时,UE不执行监听PDCCH、不进行测量,只执行参考信号的检测、小区重选,监听寻呼(paging)/***消息(System Information,简称SI)等行为。其中,UE在Inactive状态和idle状态的区别是:在Inactive状态下,基站和UE都保存着UE收发数据的上下文,当有数据需重新收发时,UE可以通过RACH过程进行快速的恢复(resume),无需重新进行安全模式的激活操作、能力上报、信息配置等操作。由此,简化了UE转为激活状态时信令交互过程,降低了信令开销,且降低了UE的功耗。
在R16版本中,不支持UE在Inactive状态进行用户层面的数据传输,如果UE有数据传输,需要转到连接态再进行传输。通过RRC resume过程可以通过4步RACH和2步RACH过程快速的完成RRC恢复,此时UE向基站发送恢复消息,该恢复消息可以为RRC恢复请求(图1至图4中示出的RRC Resume Request),基站收到RRC Resume Request,对应的响应消息如下:请参见图1至图4,图1至图4为现有技术中UE向网络(Network)或基站发送RRC connection  resume消息之后的四种(第一种、第二种、第三种和第四种)情况的示意图;若向其返回恢复成功(图1所示的RRC Resume),UE进入连接态后;基站也可回复RRC连接建立成功(图2所示的RRC Setup),即RRC连接恢复回退到RRC连接态(connection),UE进入连接态;若基站回复包含暂停配置的RRC释放消息(图3所示的RRC Release with Suspend Configuration),UE仍驻留Inactive状态;若网络拒绝RRC恢复请求,可返回拒绝消息(图4所示的RRC Reject),UE仍在Inactive状态。
在NR中,支持多波束(beam)操作,每个波束对应一个同步信号块(Synchronization Signal and PBCH block,简称SSB),都能接入用户终端(UE)。基站通过***信息指示随机接入资源与SSB的关联关系,UE先进行下行参考信号的测量,选择一个合适的SSB进行驻留,UE在选择的SSB关联的物理随机接入信道(Physical Random Access Channel,简称PRACH)资源上传输一个前导码(preamble),基站通过检测到对应PRACH时频域资源上发送的前导码,根据随机接入资源与SSB的关联关系能够确定用户终端合适的SSB,并用此SSB进行随机接入响应的发送。
目前3GPP通过一个R17小数据包传输的立项,在Inactive状态下UE可进行小数据包传输。在立项中,描述支持在预配置的上行资源上进行数据传输。由于NR支持的configured grant主要用于极可靠低延迟通信(Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications,简称URLLC)的场景,且仅支持在连接态使用,基站和UE都知道UE驻留的SSB,所以UE发送上行数据之后基站能够知道在哪个SSB给UE发送响应消息。
NR支持半持续调度(Semi-Persistent Scheduling,简称SPS)用于下行数据传输,基站会根据UE的业务特定配置SPS,具体包括周期,HARQ进程以及MCS等参数。基站通过物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,简称PDCCH)进行SPS激活,PDCCH调度资源为后续传输资源,基站可以通过PDCCH更新调度 资源,也可以通过PDCCH去激活SPS资源。
NR支持配置授权(Configured Grant)用于上行数据传输。基站提前预配置资源或通过PDCCH激活预配置的资源,包括周期,时频域资源,重发(repetition)信息以及调制与编码策略(Modulation and Coding Scheme,简称MCS)等。UE根据配置在对应资源上发送数据。
然而,现有技术中,基站无法确定用哪个SSB给处于非连接态的UE回复响应消息,若用所有可用的SSB给UE发响应消息,会导致不必要的资源浪费,且增加了基站的功率消耗。
为解决该问题,本发明实施例提供了一种数据传输时的波束确定方法,所述方法包括:确定用于响应数据传输的目标SSB;向基站发送上行数据,并在发送所述上行数据时指示所述目标SSB,以使所述基站使用所述目标SSB发送响应于所述上行数据的响应信息;其中,所述SSB和波束一一对应。
通过该方法,基站能够根据UE的指示,在目标SSB上给UE发送响应消息,从而避免不必要的资源浪费,节省基站的功耗。
为使本发明的上述目的、特征和有益效果能够更为明显易懂,下面结合附图对本发明的具体实施例做详细的说明。
请参见图5,本发明实施例提供第一种数据传输时的波束确定方法,所述方法包括:
步骤S501,确定用于响应数据传输的目标SSB;
步骤S502,向基站发送上行数据,并在发送所述上行数据时指示所述目标SSB,以使所述基站使用所述目标SSB发送响应于所述上行数据的响应信息;
其中,所述SSB和波束一一对应。
图5所示的第一种数据传输时的波束确定方法可由NR通信中的UE侧执行。UE在向基站发送上行数据时,将基站用于响应UE的数据传输的目标SSB的指示信息与上行数据一并发送(例如,指示信息可以集成在上行数据中,或者独立于上行数据之外),基站可根据 UE的指示确定其向UE发送响应消息的SSB,并通过目标SSB向UE发送响应消息。
可选的,UE可通过测量下行参考信号确定合适的SSB作为目标SSB。
可选的,上行数据为UE在PUR上向网络侧(或者基站)传输的数据。
可选的,处于Inactive状态的UE在发送上行数据时指示目标SSB,此时UE可根据各个波束(beam)对应的信号强度等情况,选择驻留的SSB作为目标SSB。
通过本实施例的方案,在UE向网络侧发送上行数据时指示目标SSB,则基站可直接通过目标SSB向UE发送与上行数据对应的响应消息,无需对该基站配置的多SSB都发送响应消息,从而避免不必要的资源浪费,节省基站的功耗。
在一个实施例中,请继续参见图5,步骤S502所述在发送上行数据时指示所述目标SSB,包括:在发送上行数据时,通过上行数据关联的解调参考信号(Demodulation Reference Signal,简称DMRS)资源与预设映射关系间接指示所述目标SSB,所述预设映射关系包含DMRS资源与SSB之间的一一对应关系。
其中,预设映射关系为基站配置的多个SSB与DMRS资源之间的映射关系,该预设映射关系在基站与UE端一致。UE可通过预设映射关系在发送上行数据时关联目标SSB对应的DMRS资源以指示目标SSB,基站在解码UE发送的上行数据时,可根据上行数据管理的DMRS资源与预设映射关系解码出UE指示的目标SSB。
可选的,所述在发送上行数据时,通过上行数据关联的DMRS资源与预设映射关系间接指示所述目标SSB,包括:根据所述目标SSB和预设映射关系,确定所述目标SSB对应的目标DMRS资源;在发送所述上行数据时,使用所述目标SSB对应的DMRS资源关联所述上行数据。
UE在发送上行数据时指示目标SSB的具体步骤可以包括:在确 定目标SSB之后,在基站预配置给UE的上行资源上用对应的DRMS资源关联上行数据,基站通过解码上行数据的DRMS资源后能够确定UE指示的目标SSB,用目标SSB给UE发送响应消息。
可选的,所述DMRS资源为DMRS序列(sequence)和/或DMRS端口(port)。
DMRS资源可以是DMRS序列资源或DMRS端口资源,或DMRS序列和DMRS端口结合的资源。根据小区传输SSB的数量,可设置DMRS序列与SSB一一对应;或通过DMRS端口与SSB一一对应;或通过DMRS序列和DMRS端口结合与SSB一一对应。
可选的,若基站传输的SSB数量较少,预设映射关系可通过DMRS序列或DMRS端口来对应不同的SSB。
请参见图6,图6为一个应用实例中DMRS序列或端口与SSB的预设映射关系的示意图;其中,通过DMRS序列对应不同的SSB时,例如,若基站传输4个SSB(称为SSB0、SSB1、SSB2和SSB3),预设映射关系可指示4个不同的DMRS序列(DMRS序列0、DMRS序列1、DMRS序列2和DMRS序列3)需要用于对应不同的SSB。如DMRS序列0对应SSB0,DMRS序列1对应SSB1,DMRS序列2对应SSB2,DMRS序列3对应SSB3。
图6中,通过DMRS端口对应不同的SSB时,例如,预设映射关系可指示4个DMRS端口号(DMRS port0、DMRS port 1、DMRS port 2、DMRS port 3)对应不同的SSB,DMRS port 0对应SSB0,DMRS port 1对应SSB1,DMRS port 2对应SSB2,DMRS port 3对应SSB3。
在上述两个预设映射关系的例子中,当UE确定SSB2为目标的SSB时,则UE在预配置的时频域资源上采用DMRS序列2或DMRS port 2传输上行数据。
可选的,如果SSB数量较多,预设映射关系可通过DMRS序列和DMRS端口结合的方式来对应不同的SSB,可先按DMRS序列再DMRS端口的顺序排序,也可以先DMRS端口再DMRS序列的顺序 排序。
请参见图7,图7为一个应用实例中DMRS序列和端口结合与SSB的预设映射关系的示意图;若基站传输16个SSB(SSB0,SSB1,…,SSB15),如配置8个DMRS序列(DMRS序列0,DMRS序列1,…,DMRS序列7)和2个DMRS端口(DMRS port 0和DMRS port 1),此时预设映射关系可指示DMRS序列0和DMRS port 0对应SSB0,DMRS序列0和DMRS port 1对应SSB1,DMRS序列1和DMRS port 0对应SSB2,DMRS序列1和DMRS port 1对应SSB3…。此时,如果UE确定的目标SSB为SSB2,则对应DMRS序列1和DMRS端口0,UE应在配置给UE的时频资源上用DMRS序列1关联上行数据采用DMRS端口0进行传输。
另外,预设关系也可指示DMRS序列0和DMRS port 0对应SSB0,DMRS序列1和DMRS port 0对应SSB1,DMRS序列2和DMRS port 0对应SSB2…。此时,如果UE确定的目标SSB为SSB2,则对应DMRS端口0和DMRS序列2,UE应在配置给UE的时频资源上用DMRS序列2关联上行数据采用DMRS端口0进行传输。
本实施例中,DMRS资源与SSB之间的预设映射关系可以为DMRS序列和SSB之间的映射关系,或DMRS端口和SSB之间的映射关系,也可以是DMRS序列与DMRS端口结合起来与SSB之间的映射关系,使得UE通过DMRS资源传输上行数据时指示目标SSB。
在一个实施例中,上述数据传输时的波束确定方法还可以包括:接收***信息或专用RRC信令获取DMRS资源配置以及所述预设映射关系。
具体地,网络侧(或基站)可通过***信息或UE专用的无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,简称RRC)信令指示基站配置的DMRS资源、以及DMRS资源与SSB之间的预设映射关系。例如,基站在指示UE进入Inactive状态并给UE配置专用预配置上行资源的RRC信令中指示DMRS资源跟SSB的预设映射关系。
可选的,基站还可以在剩余最小***信息(Remaining Minimum  System Information,简称RMSI)指示小区开启预配置上行资源传输功能的同时配置DMRS资源并指示DMRS资源跟SSB的预设映射关系。
在一个实施例中,请继续参见图5,步骤S502在发送上行数据时指示所述目标SSB,包括:在发送上行数据时,使用上报信令直接指示所述目标SSB。
步骤S502中,UE在发送上行数据时指示目标SSB的方式,还可以为UE在预配置的上行资源上发送上行数据的同时上报目标SSB。
可选的,上报信令可以包括目标SSB的索引,以使得基站根据该索引确定目标SSB。也即,网络侧(或基站)与UE端统一一套SSB的索引机制,以通过SSB的索引指示对应的SSB。
可选的,所述上报信令承载于媒体访问控制层控制单元(Media Access Control-Control Element,简称MAC-CE)或上行控制信息(Uplink Control Link,简称UCI)。
其中,通过新定义一个MAC CE,用于承载目标SSB的索引,以指示UE确定的目标SSB。可根据基站配置的SSB数量或小区支持的SSB数量确定MAC CE的长度。新定义的MAC CE与UE要传输的上行数据复用在预配置的上行资源上传输,预留一个新的逻辑信道标识(逻辑信道标识,简称LCID)用于识别该MAC CE。
可选的,新定义的MAC CE与UE要传输的上行数据复用在预配置的上行资源上传输。
例如:传输8个以下或16个以下SSB可用固定长度为8比特(bits)或16bits的MAC CE指示UE确定的目标SSB,每个比特(bit)代表一个SSB,可从低位到高位或从高位到低位对应按序SSB。当对应bit设置为1时,指示对应索引的SSB为目标SSB。请参见图8,图8为一应用实例中用8个比特的MAC CE指示目标SSB的示意图,比特位从低位到高位指示对应的SSB,若SSB2是目标SSB,则对应SSB2的比特位的值设置为1。请参见图9,图9为一应用实例中用 16个比特的MAC CE指示目标SSB的示意图,若SSB2是目标SSB,对应SSB2的比特位的值设置为1,其余比特位都设置为0。
可选的,基站传输的SSB数量为8个以上时,可采用分组的方式,每组内SSB数量为8个SSB,可以用两行来表示基站传输的SSB的索引,第一行识别组(group)标识,第二行识别组内的SSB位置(以SSB×N表示,其中N为0,1,2,…7,分别表示一组内的8个SSB)。每组内SSB索引按从小到大顺序排列,UE根据目标SSB的索引确定对应SSB所在的对应组以及在组内的位置,确定MAC CE的比特位的设置。请参见图10,图10为一应用实例中MAC CE用分组方式指示目标SSB的示意图;如UE确定的目标SSB索引为SSB28,28mode 8=3余4,所以对应group3的SSBx3位置都设置为1,其余比特位都设置为0。
可选的,还可通过若干字节(bit)直接指示目标SSB的索引,如,可用4个Bit的二进制取值对应16个SSB,即“0000~1111”,或用6个bit的二进制取值对应64个SSB,即“000000~111111”。所需bit数量在此不做限定,适用于任何范围的比特(bit)数量。具体MAC CE格式可参见下图11,图11为一应用实例中MAC CE用二进制取值直接指示目标SSB的示意图;该图所示的MAC CE共包含8个bit,以6个bit指示SSB索引(index),另外2个bit为预留位(即图中的R位),如UE确定的目标SSB索引为SSB8,则对应SSB索引(index)设置为000111。SSB index所需bit数量取决于基站传输的SSB数量,对应bit所在MAC CE的位置在此都不做限定。另外,UE还在预配置的上行资源上发送上行数据时通过UCI指示UE合适的SSB。基站在预配置的上行资源解码收到的上行数据,通过UCI的设置确定目标SSB,并用目标SSB向UE发送下行的响应消息。
可选的,在预配置资源发送的数据头(head)嵌入一个UCI,用于承载目标SSB的索引,以指示目标SSB。UCI中数据(Data)的字节长度取决于基站传输的SSB数量。请参见图12,图12提供了一种UCI的结构示意图;例如,若基站传输8个SSB,可通过3bits的二 进制取值来识别SSB索引;如果SSB3是UE确定的目标SSB,则对应3bits应设置为“011”。若基站传输64个SSB,可通过6bits的二进制取值来识别SSB索引。如SSB3是UE合适的SSB,则对应6bits应设置为“000011”。
本实施例中,UE还可在向基站发送的上行数据中通过上报信令直接指示目标SSB,以使基站根据解码的上行数据确定目标SSB后,并用目标SSB向UE发送下行的响应消息。该上报信令可由MACCE或UCI承载。
请参见图13,本发明实施例还提供第二种数据传输时的波束确定方法,第二种数据传输时的波束确定方法可由网络侧(或基站侧)执行,所述方法包括以下步骤:
