Description

一种配置载波的方法及装置、终端设备、网络设备A method and device for configuring a carrier, terminal equipment, and network equipment

技术领域technical field

本申请实施例涉及移动通信技术领域，具体涉及一种配置载波的方法及装置、终端设备、网络设备。The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of mobile communication technologies, and in particular to a method and device for configuring a carrier, a terminal device, and a network device.

背景技术Background technique

载波聚合可以为业务提供较大的带宽，进而提高业务的吞吐量。在载波聚合中，由于传统业务是下行的业务量较大，因而下行载波的数量要比上行载波的数量多。Carrier aggregation can provide larger bandwidth for services, thereby improving the throughput of services. In carrier aggregation, since traditional services have a large amount of downlink traffic, the number of downlink carriers is greater than that of uplink carriers.

在移动通信技术演进的过程中，会出现各种各样的新型业务，上行的业务量也会越来越大，可以通过增加上行载波的数量的方式来提高上行吞吐量。由于上行载波的数量较多，所以可能会存在上行载波没有对应的下行载波的情况，这将导致上行载波的下行调度无法解决。During the evolution of mobile communication technology, various new services will appear, and the uplink traffic will also increase. The uplink throughput can be improved by increasing the number of uplink carriers. Due to the large number of uplink carriers, there may be a situation that an uplink carrier does not have a corresponding downlink carrier, which will lead to an inability to solve the downlink scheduling of the uplink carrier.

The following related technologies can be combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and all of them belong to the embodiments of the present application. protected range.

随着人们对速率、延迟、高速移动性、能效的追求以及未来生活中业务的多样性、复杂性，为此第三代合作伙伴计划(3 ^rd Generation Partnership Project，3GPP)国际标准组织开始研发5G。5G的主要应用场景为：增强移动超宽带(enhanced Mobile Broadband，eMBB)、低时延高可靠通信(Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications，URLLC)、大规模机器类通信(massive Machine-Type Communications，mMTC)。 With people's pursuit of speed, delay, high-speed mobility, energy efficiency, and the diversity and complexity of business in future life, the ^3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) international standards organization began to develop 5G . The main application scenarios of 5G are: Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC), Massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC) ).

一方面，eMBB仍然以用户获得多媒体内容、服务和数据为目标，其需求增长十分迅速。另一方面，由于eMBB可能部署在不同的场景中，例如室内，市区，农村等，其能力和需求的差别也比较大，所以不能一概而论，必须结合具体的部署场景详细分析。URLLC的典型应用包括：工业自动化，电力自动化，远程医疗操作(手术)，交通安全保障等。mMTC的典型特点包括：高连接密度，小数据量，时延不敏感业务，模块的低成本和长使用寿命等。On the one hand, eMBB still aims at users obtaining multimedia content, services and data, and its demand is growing rapidly. On the other hand, since eMBB may be deployed in different scenarios, such as indoors, urban areas, and rural areas, the capabilities and requirements vary greatly, so it cannot be generalized, and detailed analysis must be combined with specific deployment scenarios. Typical applications of URLLC include: industrial automation, electric power automation, telemedicine operations (surgery), traffic safety guarantee, etc. The typical characteristics of mMTC include: high connection density, small data volume, delay-insensitive services, low cost and long service life of modules, etc.

在NR早期部署时，完整的NR覆盖很难获取，所以典型的网络覆盖是广域的LTE覆盖和NR的孤岛覆盖模式。而且大量的LTE部署在6GHz以下，可用于5G的6GHz以下频谱很少。所以NR必须研究6GHz以上的频谱应用，而高频段覆盖有限、信号衰落快。同时为了保护移动运营商前期在LTE投资，提出了LTE和NR之间紧密合作(tight interworking)的工作模式。In the early deployment of NR, it is difficult to obtain complete NR coverage, so the typical network coverage is wide-area LTE coverage and NR island coverage mode. Moreover, a large number of LTE deployments are below 6GHz, and there is very little spectrum below 6GHz that can be used for 5G. Therefore, NR must study the spectrum application above 6GHz, while the coverage of high frequency bands is limited and the signal fades quickly. At the same time, in order to protect mobile operators' investment in LTE in the early stage, a working mode of tight interworking between LTE and NR is proposed.

为了能够尽快实现5G网络部署和商业应用，3GPP首先完成第一个5G版本，即EN-DC(LTE-NR Dual Connectivity)。在EN-DC中，LTE基站(eNB)作为主节点(Master Node，MN)，NR基站(gNB 或en-gNB)作为辅节点(Secondary Node，SN)，连接EPC核心网。在R15后期，将支持其他DC模式，即NE-DC，5GC-EN-DC，NR DC。在NE-DC中，NR基站作为MN，eLTE基站作为SN，连接5GC核心网。在5GC-EN-DC中，eLTE基站作为MN，NR基站作为SN，连接5GC核心网。在NR DC中，NR基站作为MN，NR基站作为SN，连接5GC核心网。In order to realize 5G network deployment and commercial application as soon as possible, 3GPP first completed the first 5G version, namely EN-DC (LTE-NR Dual Connectivity). In EN-DC, the LTE base station (eNB) acts as the master node (Master Node, MN), and the NR base station (gNB or en-gNB) acts as the secondary node (Secondary Node, SN), connecting to the EPC core network. In the later stage of R15, other DC modes will be supported, namely NE-DC, 5GC-EN-DC, NR DC. In NE-DC, the NR base station serves as the MN, and the eLTE base station serves as the SN, connecting to the 5GC core network. In 5GC-EN-DC, the eLTE base station serves as the MN, and the NR base station serves as the SN, connecting to the 5GC core network. In NR DC, the NR base station acts as the MN, and the NR base station acts as the SN, connecting to the 5GC core network.

在5G中，最大的信道带宽可以是400MHZ(称为宽带载波(wideband carrier))，相比于LTE最大20M带宽来说，宽带载波的带宽很大。为了满足高速率的需求，5G中支持载波聚合(Carrier Aggregation，CA)技术。CA即通过联合调度和使用多个成员载波(Component Carrier，CC)上的资源，使得NR***可以支持更大的带宽，从而能够实现更高的***峰值速率。根据所聚合载波的在频谱上的连续性可以分为，连续性载波聚合和非连续性载波聚合；根据聚合的载波所在的频段(band)是否相同，分为频段内(Intra-band)载波聚合和频段间(inter-band)载波聚合。In 5G, the maximum channel bandwidth can be 400MHZ (called wideband carrier), which is much larger than the maximum 20M bandwidth of LTE. In order to meet the high-speed requirements, 5G supports carrier aggregation (Carrier Aggregation, CA) technology. CA enables the NR system to support a larger bandwidth through joint scheduling and use of resources on multiple component carriers (Component Carriers, CCs), thereby achieving a higher system peak rate. According to the continuity of the aggregated carrier in the spectrum, it can be divided into continuous carrier aggregation and non-continuous carrier aggregation; according to whether the frequency band (band) of the aggregated carrier is the same, it can be divided into Intra-band carrier aggregation and inter-band carrier aggregation.

在CA中，有且只有一个主载波(Primary Cell Component，PCC)，PCC提供RRC信令连接，非接入层(Non-Access Stratrum，NAS)功能，安全等。物理上行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel，PUCCH)在PCC上且只在PCC上存在。在CA中，可以有一个或多个辅载波(Secondary Cell Component，SCC)，SCC只提供额外的无线资源。PCC和SCC同称为服务小区(Serving Cell)，其中，PCC上的小区为主小区(PCell)，SCC上的小区为辅小区(SCell)。In CA, there is one and only one Primary Cell Component (PCC), which provides RRC signaling connection, Non-Access Stratrum (Non-Access Stratrum, NAS) function, security, etc. A physical uplink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel, PUCCH) exists on the PCC and only on the PCC. In CA, there can be one or more secondary carriers (Secondary Cell Component, SCC), and the SCC only provides additional radio resources. The PCC and the SCC are both called serving cells (Serving Cell), wherein the cell on the PCC is the primary cell (PCell), and the cell on the SCC is the secondary cell (SCell).

图2和图3是载波聚合场景下的协议栈架构图，其中，图2是针对下行的协议栈架构图，图3是针对上行的协议栈架构图，可以看出，一个CC与一个HARQ实体对应。Figure 2 and Figure 3 are the protocol stack architecture diagrams in the carrier aggregation scenario, where Figure 2 is the protocol stack architecture diagram for the downlink, and Figure 3 is the protocol stack architecture diagram for the uplink, it can be seen that a CC and a HARQ entity correspond.

在载波聚合中，由于传统业务是下行的业务量较大，因而下行载波的数量要比上行载波的数量多。此外，在配置载波的时候，关联的下行载波和上行载波同时配置。In carrier aggregation, since traditional services have a large amount of downlink traffic, the number of downlink carriers is greater than that of uplink carriers. In addition, when configuring the carrier, the associated downlink carrier and uplink carrier are configured at the same time.

在5G以及后期的演进过程中，会出现各种各样的新型业务，上行的业务量也会越来越大，可以通过增加上行载波的数量的方式来提高上行吞吐量。由于上行载波的数量较多，所以可能会存在上行载波没有对应的下行载波的情况，这将导致上行载波的下行调度无法解决。此外，传统配置载波的方式，会固定配置一个上行载波关联一个下行载波，限制了数据调度的灵活性。In the 5G and later evolution process, various new services will appear, and the uplink business volume will also increase. The uplink throughput can be improved by increasing the number of uplink carriers. Due to the large number of uplink carriers, there may be a situation that an uplink carrier does not have a corresponding downlink carrier, which will lead to an inability to solve the downlink scheduling of the uplink carrier. In addition, in the traditional way of configuring carriers, one uplink carrier is fixedly configured to be associated with one downlink carrier, which limits the flexibility of data scheduling.
