Description

一种通信方法和装置
本申请要求于2022年01月30日提交中国专利局、申请号为202210114486.6、申请名称为“一种通信方法和装置”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。
技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法和装置。
背景技术
第五代(the 5th generation,5G)移动通信技术新无线(new radio,NR),是基于正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,OFDM)的全新空口设计的全球性5G标准,也是下一代非常重要的蜂窝移动技术基础。目前NR中引入了带宽部分(bandwidth part,BWP)的概念。根据NR协议,网络设备可以为终端设备配置BWP。当BWP的带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的最大带宽时,终端设备可以与网络设备之间进行通信。
终端设备的带宽包括射频带宽和基带带宽。对于终端设备的射频带宽和基带带宽相同的场景,网络设备为终端设备配置BWP的带宽时,可以参考射频带宽和基带带宽中的其中之一,例如,BWP的带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽时,也不会大于终端设备的最大基带带宽。然而,随着技术发展,出现了终端设备的射频带宽和基带带宽不同的场景,此时关于BWP的带宽配置是参考射频带宽还是参考基带带宽是不明确的。因此,如何配置BWP的带宽使得其能够适用于不同带宽能力的终端设备是亟需解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请提供一种通信方法和装置,从而网络设备可以为射频带宽和基带带宽不相同的终端设备配置BWP。
第一方面,本申请提供了一种通信方法,该方法的执行主体可以是终端设备,也可以是应用于终端设备中的芯片。下面以执行主体是终端设备为例进行描述。
该方法可以包括:终端设备接收来自网络设备的BWP的配置信息,该BWP至少包括第一带宽和第二带宽,该第一带宽根据该终端设备的射频带宽确定,该第二带宽根据该终端设备的基带带宽确定。该终端设备通过该BWP与该网络设备通信。
基于上述技术方案,网络设备为终端设备配置的BWP的带宽可以包括两部分,如分别记为第一带宽和第二带宽,并且第一带宽根据终端设备的射频带宽确定,第二带宽根据终端设备的基带带宽确定,即第一带宽可以基于射频带宽配置,第二带宽可以基于基带带宽配置。通过该方式,网络设备为终端设备配置的BWP可以同时兼顾射频带宽和基带带宽,使得该BWP不仅可以适用于射频带宽和基带带宽相同的终端设备,也可以适用于射 频带宽和基带带宽不相同的终端设备。因此,通过上述方案,能够将多种带宽能力的终端设备接入到网络设备中,进而与网络设备之间进行通信。
在一种可能的设计中,该第一带宽用于指示该终端设备接收或者发送信号所使用的频域资源的最大范围;该第二带宽用于指示该终端设备接收或者发送信号所使用的频域资源的最大传输带宽。
在一种可能的设计中,该第一带宽的大小小于或等于该终端设备的最大射频带宽,该第二带宽的大小小于或等于该终端设备的最大基带带宽;或者,该第一带宽的大小和该第二带宽的大小均小于或等于该终端设备的最大射频带宽、且均大于该终端设备的最大基带带宽;或者,该第一带宽的大小和该第二带宽的大小均小于或等于该终端设备的最大射频带宽、且均小于或等于该终端设备的最大基带带宽;或者,该第一带宽的大小和该第二带宽的大小均大于该终端设备的最大射频带宽、且均大于该终端设备的最大基带带宽。
基于上述技术方案,第一带宽与第二带宽和终端设备的最大射频带宽与最大基带带宽之间的大小关系可以有以下四种情况:
第一种情况,当第一带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽、第二带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的最大基带带宽时,终端设备传输信号所使用的频域资源的带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的最大基带带宽,此时终端设备的基带不需要处理超过其带宽能力的数据块,因而不会增加处理时延,也有利于降低信号的整体传输时延。
第二种情况,当第一带宽的大小和第二带宽的大小均小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽、且均大于终端设备的最大基带带宽时,终端设备传输信号所使用的频域资源的带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽、且可以大于终端设备的最大基带带宽。在该情况下,终端设备的射频可以接收全部信号,不会造成数据的丢失。
第三种情况,当第一带宽的大小和第二带宽的大小均小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽、且均小于或等于终端设备的最大基带带宽时,终端设备传输信号所使用的频域资源的带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽,且小于或等于终端设备的最大基带带宽。在该情况下,终端设备可以直接复用现有的BWP机制,对NR协议改动也较小,性能损失也会降低。
第四种情况,当第一带宽的大小和第二带宽的大小均大于终端设备的最大射频带宽,且均大于终端设备的最大基带带宽时,终端设备传输信号所使用的频域资源的带宽的大小可以大于终端设备的最大射频带宽,也可以大于终端设备的最大基带带宽。在该情况下,终端设备可以直接复用现有的信号与网络设备通信,例如,终端设备复用现有的同步广播块(synchronization signal block,SSB)与网络设备通信,从而可以降低资源的开销。
在一种可能的设计中,该BWP的配置信息至少包括该第一带宽的频域位置,该第二带宽的频域位置可以根据该第一带宽的频域位置确定。基于上述技术方案,终端设备可以在第一带宽的频域资源上动态发送或者接收信号。考虑到第二带宽的频域位置是可以根据该第一带宽的频域位置确定的,并且当第一带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽时,终端设备在第二带宽的频域位置上进行切换可以不重新调整射频,从而降低终端设备的切换时延,同时终端设备也能够获得更大的频率分集增益。
在一种可能的设计中,该第二带宽的频域位置可以根据该第一带宽的频域位置确定,包括:该第二带宽的频域位置可以根据偏移量与该第一带宽的频域位置确定。示例性的,该偏移量可以为该第二带宽的频域位置相对于该第一带宽的频域位置的偏移量。

此外,在本申请实施例中,终端设备还可以是IoT***中的终端设备,IoT是未来信息技术发展的重要组成部分,其主要技术特点是将物品通过通信技术与网络连接,从而实现人机互连,物物互连的智能化网络。

在一些部署中,gNB可以包括集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)和DU。gNB还可以包括有源天线单元(active antenna unit,AAU)。CU实现gNB的部分功能,DU实现gNB的部分功能。比如,CU负责处理非实时协议和服务,实现无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC),分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层的功 能。DU负责处理物理层协议和实时服务,实现无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层和物理(physical,PHY)层的功能。AAU实现部分物理层处理功能、射频处理及有源天线的相关功能。由于RRC层的信息最终会变成PHY层的信息,或者,由PHY层的信息转变而来,因而,在这种架构下,高层信令,如RRC层信令,也可以认为是由DU发送的,或者,由DU+AAU发送的。可以理解的是,网络设备可以为包括CU节点、DU节点、AAU节点中一项或多项的设备。此外,可以将CU划分为接入网(radio access network,RAN)中的网络设备,也可以将CU划分为核心网(core network,CN)中的网络设备,本申请对此不做限定。

图1示出了适用于本申请实施例的一种通信场景的示意图。图1中的通信***可以包括至少一个终端设备(例如终端设备110、终端设备120、终端设备130、终端设备140、终端设备150和终端设备160)和网络设备170。网络设备170用于为终端设备提供通信服务并接入核心网,终端设备可以通过搜索网络设备170发送的同步信号、广播信号等接入网络,从而建立与网络设备之间的通信。图1中的终端设备110、终端设备120、终端设备130、终端设备140和终端设备160可以与网络设备170进行上下行传输。例如,网络设备170可以向终端设备110、终端设备120、终端设备130、终端设备140和终端设备160发送下行信号,也可以接收终端设备110、终端设备120、终端设备130、终端设备140和终端设备160发送的上行信号。
此外,终端设备140、终端设备150和终端设备160也可以看作一个通信***,终端设备160可以向终端设备140和终端设备150发送下行信号,也可以接收终端设备140和终端设备150发送的上行信号。
应理解,该通信***中包括的网络设备可以是一个或多个。一个网络设备可以向一个或多个终端发送信号。多个网络设备也可以同时向一个或多个终端发送信号。
目前NR中引入了带宽部分(bandwidth part,BWP)的概念。BWP是一个载波上的一部分连续的频域资源,通常以资源块(resource block,RB)作为最小频域单元,并且一个RB可以包括多个子载波(subcarrier),一个资源块组(resource block group,RBG)由一个或多个资源块组成。NR中通过高层参数配置RBG的大小。需要说明的是,本申请中提及的RBG的大小,理解为RBG包括的资源块的数量。根据数据的上行传输和下行传输,BWP可以分为上行BWP和下行BWP,其中,用于传输上行数据的BWP称为上行BWP,用于传输下行数据的BWP称为下行BWP。
网络设备可以向终端设备发送BWP的配置信息,从而为终端设备配置多个BWP。通 常情况下基于复杂度的考虑,网络设备能够为终端设备配置的BWP的数量是有限的,例如,对于一个终端设备来说,网络设备最大可以配置4个BWP,并且不同BWP的频域资源可以有重叠,也可以没有重叠。当网络设备为终端设备配置的BWP的数量大于1的情况下,只有一个BWP是被激活的,当被激活的BWP的带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的最大带宽时,终端设备可以根据激活的BWP与网络设备进行通信。
终端设备的带宽可以包括射频(radio frequency,RF)带宽和基带(baseband,BB)带宽。射频带宽可以是射频处理部分的带宽,其中,射频处理部分可以至少包括以下一项或多项:天线阵列、功放、滤波器、RF收发器、双工器或转换器等功能块。射频带宽还可以是射频链路的一个或者多个功能块的带宽。基带带宽可以为基带处理部分的带宽,其中,基带处理部分可以至少包括以下一项或多项:模数转换器(analog-to-digital converter,ADC)/数模转换器(digital-to-analog converter,DAC)、信道编码/译码、快速傅里叶变换(fast fourier transform,FFT)/逆快速傅里叶变换(inverse fast fourier transform,FFT)IFFF、Post-FFT数据缓存、接收处理块、混合自动重传请求(hybrid auto retransmission request,HARQ)缓存、下行控制处理以及编码/译码、同步/小区搜索块、上行处理块或多入多出(multiple input multiple output,MIMO)专属处理块等功能块。基带带宽还可以是基带处理部分的一个或者多个功能块的带宽。
对于射频带宽和基带带宽相同的终端设备,BWP的带宽配置可以参考射频带宽和基带带宽中的其中之一,例如,BWP的带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽时,也小于或等于终端设备的最大基带带宽。然而,对于射频带宽和基带带宽不相同的终端设备,网络设备为终端设备配置BWP的带宽时,参考射频带宽还是参考基带带宽是不明确的。以参考终端设备的射频带宽配置BWP的带宽为例,当BWP的带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的射频带宽时,此时BWP的带宽有可能大于终端设备的基带带宽,也有可能小于BWP的基带带宽。当BWP的带宽大于终端设备的基带带宽时,终端设备和网络设备进行数据传输时的带宽超过终端设备的基带处理能力,导致出现传输错误,因而终端设备无法与网络设备之间进行通信。
鉴于上述技术问题,本申请提供了一种通信方法。通过该方法,本申请能够在网络设备为终端设备配置BWP的带宽时,同时兼顾终端设备的射频带宽和基带带宽,进而使得终端设备能够与网络设备之间进行信号的传输。
下面将结合附图详细说明本申请提供的各个实施例。
图2示出了本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法200的示意图。如图2所示,方法200可以包括如下步骤。
210,网络设备向终端设备发送BWP的配置信息。
示例性的,该BWP可以至少包括第一带宽和第二带宽,其中,该第一带宽根据该终端设备的射频带宽确定,该第二带宽根据该终端设备的基带带宽确定。
也就是说,网络设备为终端设备配置的BWP的带宽可以分为两个,如分别记为第一带宽和第二带宽,第一带宽可以基于射频带宽配置,第二带宽可以基于基带带宽配置。在该情况下,BWP的带宽配置可以兼顾多种带宽能力的终端设备,例如,该终端设备的射频带宽可以与终端设备的基带带宽相同,又如,该终端设备的射频带宽可以与终端设备的基带带宽不相同。
一种可能的方式,终端设备的射频带宽与终端设备的基带带宽相同。在该方式下,第 一带宽的大小小于终端设备的射频带宽时,也会小于终端设备的基带带宽;第二带宽的大小小于终端设备的射频带宽时,也会小于终端设备的基带带宽。
另一种可能的方式,终端设备的射频带宽与终端设备的基带带宽不相同。在该方式下,第一带宽的大小小于终端设备的射频带宽时,有可能会大于终端设备的基带带宽;第二带宽的大小小于终端设备的射频带宽时,也有可能大于终端设备的基带带宽。
220,终端设备接收来自网络设备的BWP的配置信息。
230,终端设备通过BWP与网络设备通信。
基于上述技术方案,网络设备为终端设备配置的BWP可以同时兼顾射频带宽和基带带宽,使得该BWP不仅可以适用于射频带宽和基带带宽相同的终端设备,也可以适用于射频带宽和基带带宽不相同的终端设备。因此,通过上述方案,能够将不同带宽能力的终端设备接入到网络设备中,进而与网络设备之间进行通信。
示例性地,第一带宽可以用于指示终端设备接收或者发送信号所使用的频域资源的最大范围;第二带宽可以用于指示终端设备接收或者发送信号所使用的频域资源的最大传输带宽。
其中,最大范围限定了终端设备接收或者发送的信号所使用的频域资源的范围;最大传输带宽限定了终端设备接收或者发送的信号的带宽的最大值。例如,假设终端设备接收或者发送信号所使用的频域资源的最大传输带宽为5MHz,则终端设备接收或者发送信号的带宽应该小于或等于5MHz;再例如,假设终端设备接收或者发送信号所使用的频域资源的最大传输带宽为10MHz,则终端设备接收或者发送信号的带宽应该小于或等于10MHz。
示例性地,第二带宽基于终端设备配置;或者,第二带宽基于终端设备接收或发送的信号配置。
一种可能的方式,第二带宽基于终端设备配置。此时终端设备接收或者发送的信号的带宽都是根据该第二带宽确定的,并且终端设备接收或者发送的信号的带宽小于或等于该第二带宽。例如,当第二带宽的大小大于终端设备的射频带宽时,终端设备接收或者发送的信号的带宽也可以大于终端设备的射频带宽。
另一种可能的方式,第二带宽基于终端设备接收或发送的信号配置。由于不同的信号可以对应不同的带宽,因此第二带宽的配置也是不同的。例如,对于带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的射频带宽的信号,如下行物理共享信道(physical downlink share channel,PDSCH)上传输的信号,又如上行物理共享信道(physical uplink share channel,PUSCH)上传输的信号,此时第二带宽的大小也小于或等于终端设备的射频带宽;再例如,对于带宽大于终端设备的射频带宽的信号,如物理广播信道(physicalbroadcast channel,PBCH)上传输的信号,此时第二带宽也大于终端设备的射频带宽。应理解,无论该信号的带宽是否大于终端设备的基带带宽,该信号的带宽始终不会大于该第二带宽。
示例性地,BWP的配置信息至少包括第一带宽的频域位置,其中,第二带宽的频域位置根据第一带宽的频域位置确定。
一种可能的方式,第二带宽的频域位置根据偏移量与第一带宽的频域位置确定,其中,该偏移量为第二带宽的频域位置相对于第一带宽的频域位置的偏移量。
应理解,该BWP的配置信息可以包括第二带宽的频域位置,也可以不包括第二带宽的频域位置。当BWP的配置信息不包括第二带宽的频域位置时,该偏移量可以是网络设 备通过信令指示的,例如,该偏移量可以是通过下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)指示的,也可以是通过无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)指示的。该偏移量也可以是终端设备的能力值,也可以是协议预定义的,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
示例性地,第二带宽位于第一带宽与第一带宽的频域位置确定的频域资源范围内。
示例性地,第二带宽的频域位置包括一个或多个频域位置。
示例性地,第二带宽和第二带宽的N个频域位置确定的M个频域资源为BWP中的M个子BWP,其中,N、M为正整数。
应理解,N可以大于M,也可以等于M,也可以小于M,本申请实施例并不限定N和M的大小。当N等于M时,根据第二带宽和第二带宽的N个频域位置确定N个频域资源为一种优选方式。
一种可能的方式,第二带宽存在一个频域位置,可以基于第二带宽和第二带宽的频域位置确定一个频域资源,并且该频域资源可以是BWP中的一个子BWP。
另一种可能的方式,第二带宽存在多个频域位置,可以基于第二带宽和第二带宽的频域位置确定多个频域资源。该多个频域资源可以定义为BWP中的多个子BWP。例如,第二带宽存在五个频域位置,此时可以基于第二带宽和第二带宽的频域位置确定五个频域资源,并且每个频域资源可以是BWP中的一个子BWP;再例如,第二带宽存在五个频域位置,此时可以基于第二带宽和第二带宽的频域位置确定大于或者小于五个频域资源,并且每个频域资源可以是BWP中的一个子BWP。
根据步骤210,第一带宽和第二带宽与终端设备的射频带宽和终端设备的基带带宽之间的大小关系可以包括以下四种方式。
方式#1:第一带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽,第二带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的最大基带带宽。
也就是说,此时终端设备接收或发送的信号的带宽小于或等于终端设备的最大基带带宽。例如,假设终端设备的最大射频带宽为20MHz,终端设备的最大基带带宽为5MHz,此时第一带宽的大小应该小于或等于20MHz,第二带宽的大小应该小于或等于5MHz,并且终端设备接收或发送的信号的带宽小于或等于5MHz。
示例性地,第二带宽基于终端设备配置;或者,第二带宽基于终端设备接收或发送的信号配置。关于第二带宽的两种配置方式的示例性说明可参考步骤230中的描述,在此不再进行赘述。
基于上述技术方案,当第一带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽、第二带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的最大基带带宽时,终端设备传输信号所使用的频域资源的带宽小于或等于终端设备的最大基带带宽,此时终端设备的基带不需要处理超过其带宽能力的数据块,因而不会增加处理时延,也有利于降低信号的整体传输时延。
方式#2:第一带宽的大小和第二带宽的大小均小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽、且均大于终端设备的最大基带带宽。
也就是说,此时终端设备接收或发送的信号的带宽小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽,并可以大于终端设备的最大基带带宽。例如,假设终端设备的最大射频带宽为20MHz,终端设备的最大基带带宽为5MHz,此时第一带宽的大小和第二带宽的大小均应该小于或等于20MHz,且均可以大于5MHz,此时终端设备接收或发送的信号的带宽可以大于5MHz,并小于或等于20MHz。
示例性地,终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的处理时延大于第二终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的处理时延,其中,该终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的带宽大于该终端设备的最大基带带宽、且该终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的带宽小于或等于该终端设备的最大射频带宽,该第二终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的带宽小于或等于该第二终端设备的最大基带带宽、且该第二终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的带宽小于或等于该第二终端设备的最大射频带宽。
其中,第一信道可以是终端设备或第二终端设备的所有信道中的其中之一。第一信号可以为参考信号。例如,该第一信号可以是终端设备或第二终端设备的所有参考信号中的其中之一。本申请实施例对第一信道/第一信号的具体形式不作限定。例如,第一信道可以是PDSCH,第一信道还可以是PUSCH;再例如,第一信号可以是信道状态指示参考信号(channel state information–reference signal,CSI-RS),第一信号还可以是探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS)。
其中,终端设备的最大基带带宽小于第二终端设备的最大基带带宽,终端设备的最大射频带宽可以与第二终端设备的最大射频带宽的处理能力相当;或者,终端设备的最大基带带宽小于第二终端设备的最大基带带宽,终端设备的最大射频带宽也小于第二终端设备的最大射频带宽。
应理解,对于第一信道/第一信号的带宽大于最大基带带宽、且第一信道/第一信号的带宽小于或等于最大射频带宽的终端设备,由于第一信道/第一信号的带宽小于或等于最大射频带宽,因此该终端设备可以将在第一信道/第一信号上传输的信号在同一时刻完全接收;由于第一信道/第一信号的带宽大于最大基带带宽,因此该终端设备的基带处理该信号时的时延便会增加。
例如,终端设备的最大射频带宽为20MHz,终端设备的最大基带带宽为5MHz,第二终端设备的最大射频带宽为20MHz,第二终端设备的最大基带带宽为20MHz。
以第一信道是PDSCH为例,假设PDSCH带宽为10MHz。对于第二终端设备来说,PDSCH的带宽(10MHz)小于第二终端设备的最大射频带宽(20MHz),此时第二终端设备的射频部分可以将在PDSCH上传输的信号完全接收。PDSCH的带宽(10MHz)小于第二终端设备的最大基带带宽(20MHz),此时第二终端设备的基带部分可以完成对该信号的处理。对于终端设备来说,PDSCH的带宽(10MHz)小于终端设备的最大射频带宽(20MHz),此时终端设备可以将在PDSCH上传输的信号完全接收。PDSCH的带宽(10MHz)大于终端设备的最大基带带宽(5MHz),相比于第二终端设备的基带部分的处理时延,此时终端设备的基带部分需要通过增加处理时延来完成对该信号的处理,示例性地,该处理时延可以是终端设备接收到PDSCH到发送承载该PDSCH的HARQ-ACK的PUCCH之间的处理时延。以第二终端设备处理该信号时的时延T1为例,终端设备处理该信号时的时延为T1+delta1,其中delta1为终端设备处理该信号时的时延相比于第二终端设备处理该信号时的时延所增加的时间。
以第一信道是PUSCH为例,假设PUSCH带宽为8MHz。对于第二终端设备来说,PUSCH的带宽(8MHz)小于第二终端设备的最大射频带宽(20MHz),此时第二终端设备的射频部分可以将在PUSCH上传输的信号完全发送。PUSCH的带宽(8MHz)小于第二终端设备的最大基带带宽(20MHz),此时第二终端设备的基带部分可以完成对该信号的处理。对于终端设备来说,PUSCH的带宽(8MHz)小于终端设备的最大射频带宽 (20MHz),此时终端设备可以将在PUSCH上传输的信号完全发送。PUSCH的带宽(8MHz)大于终端设备的最大基带带宽(5MHz),相比于第二终端设备的基带部分的时延,此时终端设备的基带部分需要通过增加处理时延来完成对该信号的处理。示例性地,该处理时延可以是终端设备接收到承载PUSCH的DCI的下行物理控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH),到发送该PUSCH之间的处理时延。以第二终端设备处理该信号时的时延T2为例,终端设备处理该信号时的时延为T2+delta2,其中delta2为终端设备处理该信号时的时延相比于第二终端设备处理该信号时的时延所增加的时间。
以第一信号是CSI-RS为例,假设CSI-RS带宽为15MHz。对于第二终端设备来说,CSI-RS的带宽(15MHz)小于第二终端设备的最大射频带宽(20MHz),此时第二终端设备的射频部分可以将在CSI-RS上传输的信号完全接收。CSI-RS的带宽(15MHz)小于第二终端设备的最大基带带宽(20MHz),此时第二终端设备的基带部分可以完成对该信号的处理。对于终端设备来说,CSI-RS的带宽(15MHz)小于终端设备的最大射频带宽(20MHz),此时终端设备可以将在CSI-RS上传输的信号完全接收。CSI-RS的带宽(15MHz)大于终端设备的最大基带带宽(5MHz),相比于第二终端设备的基带部分的时延,此时终端设备的基带部分需要通过增加处理时延来完成对该信号的处理,示例性地,该处理时延可以是终端设备接收到触发CSI测量反馈的DCI,到上报信道状态信息之间的处理时延,该信道状态信息可以包括以下一种或多种:参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP)、信号与干扰加噪声比(signal to interference plus noise ratio,SINR)、信道质量指示(channel quality indication,CQI)、秩指示(rank indicator,RI)、预编码矩阵指示(precoding matrix indicator,PMI)或乘指示(linearindicator,LI)。以第二终端设备处理该信号时的时延T3为例,终端设备处理该信号时的时延为T3+delta3,其中delta3为终端设备处理该信号时的时延相比于第二终端设备处理该信号时的时延所增加的时间。
应理解,对于不同带宽能力的第二终端设备来说,终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的处理时延相比于第二终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的处理时延所增加的时间可以是不同的,具体取决于第二终端设备的处理能力。例如,假设有两个第二终端设备,它们的基带带宽分别为20MHz和50MHz,终端设备的基带带宽为5MHz,若基带带宽为50MHz的第二终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的处理时延为T4,则基带带宽为20MHz的第二终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的处理时延为T4+delta4,终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的处理时延为T4+delta5,并且delta4小于delta5。
示例性地,第二带宽基于终端设备配置;或者,第二带宽基于终端设备接收或发送的信号配置。关于第二带宽的两种配置方式的示例性说明可参考步骤230中的描述,在此不再进行赘述。
基于上述技术方案,当第一带宽的大小和第二带宽的大小均小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽、且均大于终端设备的最大基带带宽时,终端设备传输信号所使用的频域资源的带宽在小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽的前提下,是可以大于终端设备的最大基带带宽的。在该情况下,终端设备的射频可以接收全部信号,不会造成数据的丢失,并且终端设备的基带可以通过增加时延完成对大数据块的处理。
方式#3:第一带宽的大小和第二带宽的大小均小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽、且均小于或等于终端设备的最大基带带宽。
也就是说,此时第一带宽的大小和第二带宽的大小均应该小于或等于终端设备的最大 射频带宽与最大基带带宽的最小值,并且终端设备接收或发送的信号的带宽小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽,也小于或等于终端设备的最大基带带宽,即终端设备接收或发送的信号的带宽小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽与最大基带带宽的最小值。例如,假设终端设备的最大射频带宽为20MHz,终端设备的最大基带带宽为5MHz,此时第一带宽的大小和第二带宽的大小均应该小于或等于20MHz,且均应该小于或等于5MHz,即,第一带宽的大小和第二带宽的大小均应该小于或等于5MHz(20MHz与5MHz的最小值),终端设备接收或发送的信号的带宽小于或等于5MHz(20MHz与5MHz的最小值)。
示例性地,第二带宽基于终端设备配置;或者,第二带宽基于终端设备接收或发送的信号配置。关于第二带宽的两种配置方式的示例性说明可参考步骤230中的描述,在此不再进行赘述。
应理解,在该方式下,第一带宽和第二带宽可以只配置其中之一,也可以将第一带宽和第二带宽分别配置,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
基于上述技术方案,当第一带宽的大小和第二带宽的大小均小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽、且均小于或等于终端设备的最大基带带宽时,终端设备传输信号所使用的频域资源的带宽不会大于终端设备的最大射频带宽,也不会大于终端设备的最大基带带宽。在该情况下,终端设备可以直接复用现有的BWP机制,对NR协议改动也较小,性能损失也会降低。
方式#4:第一带宽的大小和第二带宽的大小均大于终端设备的最大射频带宽、且均大于终端设备的最大基带带宽。
也就是说,此时第一带宽的大小和第二带宽的大小均可以大于终端设备的最大射频带宽与最大基带带宽的最大值,并且终端设备接收或发送的信号的带宽可以大于终端设备的最大射频带宽,也可以大于终端设备的最大基带带宽,即终端设备接收或发送的信号的带宽可以大于终端设备的最大射频带宽与终端设备的最大基带带宽的最大值。例如,假设终端设备的最大射频带宽为20MHz,终端设备的最大基带带宽为5MHz,此时第一带宽的大小和第二带宽的大小均可以大于20MHz,且均可以大于5MHz,即,第一带宽和第二带宽均可以大于20MHz(20MHz与5MHz的最大值),终端设备接收或发送的信号的带宽可以大于20MHz。
示例性地,终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的处理时延大于第二终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的处理时延,其中,该终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的带宽大于该终端设备的最大基带带宽、且该终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的带宽大于该终端设备的最大射频带宽,该第二终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的带宽小于或等于该第二终端设备的最大基带带宽、且该第二终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的带宽小于或等于该第二终端设备的最大射频带宽。
其中,第一信道可以是终端设备或第二终端设备的所有信道中的其中之一,第一信号可以为参考信号,该第一信号可以是终端设备或第二终端设备的所有参考信号中的其中之一,本申请实施例对第一信道/第一信号的具体形式不作限定。例如,第一信道可以是PBCH。
其中,终端设备的最大基带带宽小于第二终端设备的最大基带带宽,或者,终端设备的最大射频带宽小于第二终端设备的最大射频带宽。
应理解,对于第一信道/第一信号的带宽大于最大基带带宽、且第一信道/第一信号的带宽大于最大射频带宽的终端设备,该终端设备不能够将在第一信道/第一信号传输的信 号在同一时刻完全接收,而在该时刻只能接收该信号的一部分。对于重复发送的信号来说,终端设备可以在不同时刻不同频域资源上分别接收部分信号,并将接收到的部分信号进行合并处理,即可完成对该信号的完全接收,在这种情况下,终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的处理时延便会增加。
下面描述方式#4下终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的处理时延大于第二终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的处理时延时的示例性说明。
例如,终端设备的最大射频带宽为5MHz,终端设备的最大基带带宽为5MHz,第二终端设备的最大射频带宽为20MHz,第二终端设备的最大基带带宽为20MHz。
以第一信道是PBCH为例,假设PBCH的带宽为7.2MHz。对于第二终端设备来说,PBCH的带宽(7.2MHz)小于第二终端设备的最大射频带宽(20MHz),此时第二终端设备可以将在PBCH上传输的信号完全接收;PBCH的带宽(7.2MHz)也小于第二终端设备的最大基带带宽(20MHz),此时第二终端设备的基带部分可以完成对该信号的处理。对于终端设备来说,PBCH的带宽(7.2MHz)大于终端设备的最大射频带宽(5MHz),PBCH的带宽(7.2MHz)也大于终端设备的最大基带带宽(5MHz),因此该终端设备不能够将在PBCH上传输的信号在同一时刻完全接收,而在该时刻只能接收该信号的一部分。对于重复发送的信号来说,终端设备可以通过合并处理多次接收到的部分信号,从而完成对该信号的完全接收。相比于第二终端设备的处理该信号时的时延,此时终端设备需要通过增加处理时延来完成对该信号的处理。以第二终端设备处理该信号时的时延T6为例,终端设备处理该信号时的时延为T6+delta6,其中delta6为终端设备处理该信号时的时延相比于第二终端设备处理该信号时的时延所增加的时间。
应理解,对于不同带宽能力的第二终端设备来说,终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的处理时延相比于第二终端设备的第一信道/第一信号的处理时延所增加的时间可以是不同的,具体取决于第二终端设备的处理能力。具体示例性说明可参考方式#2中的描述,在此不再进行赘述。
示例性地,第二带宽基于终端设备配置;或者,第二带宽基于终端设备接收或发送的信号配置。关于第二带宽的两种配置方式的示例性说明可参考步骤230中的描述,在此不再进行赘述。
应理解,在该方式下,第一带宽和第二带宽可以只配置其中之一,也可以将第一带宽和第二带宽分别配置,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
基于上述技术方案,当第一带宽的大小和第二带宽的大小均大于终端设备的最大射频带宽、且均大于终端设备的最大基带带宽时,终端设备传输信号所使用的频域资源的带宽可以大于终端设备的最大射频带宽,也可以大于终端设备的最大基带带宽。在该情况下,终端设备可以直接复用现有的信号与网络设备通信,例如,终端设备复用现有的同步广播块(synchronization signal/PBCH block,SSB)、***信息块(system information block,SIB)与网络设备通信,从而可以降低资源的开销。
应理解,第一带宽和第二带宽与终端设备的射频带宽和终端设备的基带带宽之间的大小关系除了包括上述四种方式外,还可以包括其它方式,例如,第一带宽的大小大于终端设备的最大射频带宽、且大于终端设备的最大基带带宽,第二带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽、且小于或等于终端设备的最大基带带宽。本申请实施例对此并不限定。
示例性地,根据第一带宽和第二带宽确定物理下行共享信道PDSCH/物理上行共享信道PUSCH的频域资源分配。
其中,PDSCH/PUSCH的频域资源分配可以有两种类型,分别为type 0频域资源分配和type 1频域资源分配。
对于类型为type 0的频域资源分配,该类型的频域资源分配为非连续频域资源分配,该频域资源分配的方式为:将BWP中的资源块分为N RBG个资源块组,使得每个资源块组中含有Y个连续的资源块,并且N RBG个资源块组与N RBG个比特一一对应。当网络设备预使用某个资源块组与终端设备通信时,终端设备将与该资源块组相对应的比特设置为“1”,否则设置为“0”。因此,type 0类型可通过比特图或位图指示BWP中分配给PDSCH/PUSCH使用的资源块组。
示例性地,对于类型为type 0的频域资源分配,根据第一带宽和第二带宽确定BWP所包含的资源块组的个数,其中,该BWP所包含的资源块的个数根据该第一带宽确定,该资源块组的大小根据所述第二带宽确定。
其中,该BWP中所包含的资源块组的个数(即资源指示域的长度)满足公式(1):
Figure PCTCN2023071343-appb-000001
其中,N RBG为资源块组的个数,
Figure PCTCN2023071343-appb-000002
为第一带宽的大小,
Figure PCTCN2023071343-appb-000003
为该BWP的起始资源块,mod为取模运算,P为资源块组的大小。关于资源块组的大小的确定可根据下面描述。
第一个资源块组的大小满足公式(2):
Figure PCTCN2023071343-appb-000004
最后一个资源块组的大小满足公式(3):
如果
Figure PCTCN2023071343-appb-000005
否则
Figure PCTCN2023071343-appb-000006
其它资源块组的大小等于P。
其中,P的取值可以根据表1确定。如表1所示,第一列给出了第二带宽的大小的范围,第二列(资源块组的大小1)和第三列(资源块组的大小2)可以是网络设备通过RRC信令配置的,当第二带宽的大小确定时,此时对应的资源块组的大小可以取第二列和第三列中的其中之一。例如,当第二带宽的大小为100时,此时资源块组的大小可以为资源块组的大小1对应的8,也可以为资源块组的大小2对应的16。
表1
第二带宽的大小 资源块组的大小1 资源块组的大小2
1-36 2 4
37-72 4 8
73-144 8 16
145-275 16 16
因此,如果频域资源分配仅配置为type 0类型时,频域资源分配指示域的比特长度或者个数为通过上述过程确定的N RBG
对于类型为type 1的频域资源分配,该类型的频域资源分配为连续频域资源分配,其资源指示域包括一个资源指示值(resource indication value,RIV),该RIV与一个起始资源块和一个连续分配的资源块的长度相关。
示例性地,对于类型为type 1的频域资源分配,根据第一带宽和第二带宽确定RIV。
其中,该RIV可根据以下公式确定:
如果
Figure PCTCN2023071343-appb-000007
则RIV的值满足公式(4):
Figure PCTCN2023071343-appb-000008
否则,RIV的值满足公式(5):
Figure PCTCN2023071343-appb-000009
其中,
Figure PCTCN2023071343-appb-000010
为第一带宽的大小,L RBs为连续分配的资源块的长度,RB start为起始资源块,且
Figure PCTCN2023071343-appb-000011
Figure PCTCN2023071343-appb-000012
为第二带宽的大小。
因此,如果频域资源分配配置仅为type 1类型时,频域资源分配指示域的比特长度或者个数满足公式(6):
Figure PCTCN2023071343-appb-000013
其中,
Figure PCTCN2023071343-appb-000014
为第一带宽的大小,
Figure PCTCN2023071343-appb-000015
为第二带宽的大小。
进一步地,通过对公式(1)和公式(6)的分析,如果频域资源分配配置为‘dynamicSwitch’,则频域资源分配指示域的比特长度或者个数满足公式(7):
Figure PCTCN2023071343-appb-000016
其中,该频域资源分配指示域的最高位比特用于指示该资源分配是type 0资源分配还是type 1资源分配。例如,当最高位比特指示为type 0类型的资源分配时,低位的N RBG个比特提供频域资源分配;再例如,当最高位比特指示为type 1类型的资源分配时,低位的
Figure PCTCN2023071343-appb-000017
个比特提供频域资源分配。
基于上述技术方案,PDSCH/PUSCH的频域资源分配可以同时根据第一带宽和第二带宽确定,从而能够在保证频率分集增益或者频率选择性调度增益的同时,降低资源块组粒度,提高频域资源利用率,并改善PDSCH/PUSCH的频域资源的检测性能。
为便于理解,下面结合图3至图5介绍适用于本申请实施例的几种频域位置的示意图。图3主要介绍当BWP的配置信息不包括第二带宽的频域位置时,关于第二带宽的频域位置的确定方法;图4主要介绍当BWP的配置信息包括第二带宽的一个频域位置时,关于第二带宽的频域位置的确定方法;图5主要介绍当BWP的配置信息包括第二带宽的多个频域位置时,关于第二带宽的频域位置的确定方法。其中,图3、图4以及图5所示的关于频域位置的确定可以用于步骤210中涉及的四种方式(即方式#1、方式#2、方式#3和方式#4)中的任意一种,以便使得终端设备可以在第一带宽的频域资源上动态发送或者接收信号,并且当第一带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽时,终端设备在第二带宽的频域位置上进行切换可以不重新调整射频,从而降低终端设备的切换时延,同时终端设备也能够获得更大的频率分集增益。
图3示出了本申请实施例提供的一种频域位置300的示意图。
示例性地,BWP的配置信息至少包括第一带宽的频域位置,其中,第二带宽的频域位置根据第一带宽的频域位置确定。
一种可能的方式,第二带宽的频域位置根据偏移量与第一带宽的频域位置确定,其中,该偏移量为第二带宽的频域位置相对于第一带宽的频域位置的偏移量。
示例性地,该偏移量可以是网络设备通过信令指示的,例如,该偏移量可以是网络设备通过DCI指示,具体的,该偏移量可以是网络设备通过DCI中的频域资源指示域(frequency domain resource allocation,FDRA)指示;再例如,该偏移量可以是网络设备通过RRC指示,再例如,该偏移量可以是网络设备通过多媒体接入控制层控制单元(media access control control element,MAC CE)指示。该偏移量也可以是终端设备的能力值,也可以是协议预定义的,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
示例性地,第二带宽位于第一带宽与第一带宽的频域位置确定的频域资源范围内。
一种可能的方式,第二带宽存在一个频域位置,可以基于第二带宽和第二带宽的频域位置确定一个频域资源,并且该频域资源可以是BWP中的一个子BWP。
基于上述技术方案,终端设备可以在第一带宽的频域资源上动态发送或者接收信号,当通过多次信令指示、或者终端设备的能力值、或者协议预定义确定的第二带宽的频域位置有所不同时,第二带宽的频域位置会有一个切换过程。考虑到第二带宽的频域位置是根据该第一带宽的频域位置确定的,并且当第一带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽时,终端设备在第二带宽的频域位置上进行切换可以不重新调整射频,从而降低终端设备的切换时延,同时终端设备也能够获得更大的频率分集增益。
图4示出了本申请实施例提供的又一种频域位置400的示意图。
示例性地,BWP的配置信息至少包括第一带宽的频域位置,其中,第二带宽的频域位置根据第一带宽的频域位置确定。
一种可能的方式,第二带宽的频域位置根据偏移量与第一带宽的频域位置确定,其中,该偏移量为第二带宽的频域位置相对于第一带宽的频域位置的偏移量。
示例性地,该BWP的配置信息还包括第二带宽的频域位置相对于第一带宽的频域位置的偏移量。
示例性地,第二带宽位于第一带宽与第一带宽的频域位置确定的频域资源范围内。
一种可能的方式,第二带宽存在一个频域位置,可以基于第二带宽和第二带宽的频域位置确定一个频域资源,并且该频域资源可以是BWP中的一个子BWP。
基于上述技术方案,终端设备可以在第一带宽的频域资源上动态发送或者接收信号,当通过多个BWP的配置信息确定的第二带宽的频域位置有所不同时,第二带宽的频域位置会有一个切换过程。考虑到第二带宽的频域位置是根据该第一带宽的频域位置确定的,并且当第一带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽时,终端设备在第二带宽的频域位置上进行切换可以不重新调整射频,从而降低终端设备的切换时延,同时终端设备也能够获得更大的频率分集增益。
图5示出了本申请实施例提供的又一种频域位置500的示意图。
示例性地,BWP的配置信息至少包括第一带宽的频域位置,其中,第二带宽的频域位置根据第一带宽的频域位置确定。
一种可能的方式,第二带宽的频域位置根据偏移量与第一带宽的频域位置确定,其中,该偏移量为第二带宽的频域位置相对于第一带宽的频域位置的偏移量。
示例性地,该BWP的配置信息还包括第二带宽的频域位置相对于第一带宽的频域位置的偏移量。
示例性地,第二带宽位于第一带宽与第一带宽的频域位置确定的频域资源范围内。
示例性地,第二带宽的频域位置包括多个频域位置。
示例性地,第二带宽和第二带宽的N个频域位置确定的M个频域资源为BWP中的M个子BWP,其中,N、M为大于1的正整数。
应理解,N可以大于M,也可以等于M,也可以小于M,本申请实施例并不限定N和M的大小。当N等于M时,根据第二带宽和第二带宽的N个频域位置确定N个频域资源为一种优选方式。
一种可能的方式,第二带宽存在多个频域位置,可以基于第二带宽和第二带宽的频域位置确定多个频域资源有,并且该多个频域资源可以定义为BWP中的多个子BWP。例如,第二带宽存在五个频域位置,此时可以基于第二带宽和第二带宽的频域位置所确定五个频域资源,并且每个频域资源可以是BWP中的一个子BWP;再例如,第二带宽存在五个频域位置,此时可以基于第二带宽和第二带宽的频域位置确定大于或者小于五个频域资源,并且每个频域资源可以是BWP中的一个子BWP。
基于上述技术方案,可以将第一带宽与第一带宽的频域位置确定的一个频域资源记为第一BWP,将第二带宽和第二带宽的频域位置确定的多个频域资源记为第二BWP。此时该第一BWP可以看作是该多个第二BWP的父BWP,该多个第二BWP可以看作是该第一BWP的子BWP。例如,第一BWP记为BWP#X时,该第二BWP可以分别记为BWP#X_0,BWP#X_1,…,BWP#X_Z,其中Z为该第二BWP的个数。
关于在一个BWP中配置多个子BWP的方式可以有以下三种。
方式#A:步骤1,网络设备通过信令(如RRC、又如MAC CE、又如DCI)为终端设备配置子BWP的个数M;步骤2,终端设备确定每个子BWP的带宽为BWP的带宽除以M;步骤3,当终端设备确定的每个子BWP的带宽不是正整数时,最后一个子BWP的带宽为:BWP的带宽-(M-1)*floor(BWP的带宽除以M),其中,floor为向下取整运算。
方式#B:网络设备通过信令(如RRC、又如MAC CE)为终端设备配置每个子BWP的带宽。
方式#C:协议预定义子BWP。关于子BWP的个数M的确定以及每个子BWP的带宽的确定方法与方式#A类似,在此不再赘述。
示例性地,终端设备通过DCI指示多个子BWP中的其中之一为激活BWP。基于此,终端设备可以根据激活的子BWP与网络设备之间进行通信。例如,终端设备通过复用现有的DCI中的指示域(如BWP指示域,又如FDRA指示域)或者引入新的指示域来激活其中一个子BWP,从而与网络设备之间建立通信连接。
基于上述技术方案,终端设备可以在第一BWP的频域资源上动态发送或者接收信号。在第一BWP中配置多个第二BWP,可以使得多个第二BWP中的频域资源分配可以参考第一BWP的频域资源分配。并且当第一带宽的大小小于或等于终端设备的最大射频带宽时,终端设备在第二BWP的频域位置上进行切换可以不重新调整射频,从而能够降低终端设备的切换时延,提升终端设备的传输效率,同时也能够使得终端设备获得更大的频率分集增益。进一步扩展,该多个第二BWP可以共享全部或者部分相同的RRC配置参数(如 物理信道配置参数、又如信号配置参数),从而能够降低终端设备的内存开销,进而降低终端设备的复杂度和成本。
可以理解,步骤210中限定了网络设备发送至终端设备的BWP的配置信息中,BWP至少包括第一带宽和第二带宽,然而本申请实施例并不限于此。例如,网络设备发送至终端设备的BWP的配置信息中,BWP可以包括第一带宽,在BWP的配置信息中包括指示信息,该指示信息用于指示终端设备接收或者发送信号所使用的频域资源的最大传输带宽。也就是说,本申请实施例并不限制BWP是否必须包括第二带宽,终端设备根据BWP的配置信息能够获知终端设备接收或者发送信号所使用的频域资源的最大传输带宽的其它方式,本申请实施例也包括在内。
还可以理解,本申请实施例中的图2至图5中的例子仅仅是为了便于本领域技术人员理解本申请实施例,并非要将本申请实施例限于例示的具体场景。本领域技术人员根据图2至图5的例子,显然可以进行各种等价的修改或变化,这样的修改或变化也落入本申请实施例的范围内。例如,图2至图5中的“在第一带宽的频域资源上动态发送或者接收信号”均可替换为“在第一带宽的频域资源上动态传输信号”。
