下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图,对本公开实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本公开一部分实施例,并不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
6G无线通信以广覆盖、全频谱、强安全、全应用作为愿景。未来6G需要支持Tbps数据量级的高吞吐,在支持高吞吐的同时还需要支持类似于超可靠和低时延通信(Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications,URLLC)的极低端到端时延用于满足类似于元宇宙业务的裸眼3D业务需求,需要进一步增强高速移动例如高铁的用户体验等,需要支持工业物联网的海量节点传输要求。总之,6G设计需要比5G传输方案具有更高的频谱效率、功率效率。
通信的最终目标,即是任何人无论何时、何地都能实现与其他任何人进 行任何形式的信息交换。为了实现该目标,从2G到5G移动通信传输***都是基于蜂窝的通信***,每个小区都有固定的频率使用范围、预先规划好的小区覆盖,多个小区协作完成无缝覆盖。
无线接入网络(Radio Access Network,RAN)侧/核心网为每个小区分配一个物理层小区标识(Physical layer cell identity,PCI),基站发送携带物理层小区标识的同步信号;用户设备或称为终端(User Equipment,UE)侧接收基站发送的专属小区(Cell specific)的同步信号进行小区搜索,当UE识别出该Cell specific信号携带的小区信息,并执行下行同步过程,完成小区发现过程。
UE向当前驻留的小区发起随机接入过程,基站利用随机接入响应信令分配终端标识(UE ID)。例如:无线网络临时标识(如T-RNTI)/小区无线网络临时标识(Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier,C-RNTI),UE进入连接态信息握手,并且辅助UE完成上行同步;然后基站会向UE会发起数据与参考信号的传输过程,UE侧根据基站的指示对信道进行测量对信道质量信息(Channel Quality Information,CQI)进行上报辅助基站调度与MIMO传输过程。
UE在基站配置参考信号(Reference Signal,RS)发送机会上还可以进行RMM测量,用于无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)空闲态(Idle mode)下小区选择和小区重选、连接态下小区切换过程;连接态的UE还需要根据参考信号的执行无线电链路监测过程,并周期性将同步/失步状态上报给高层,从而触发无线链路失败过程而关闭发射机,并且启动RRC连接重建过程。从上述Uu口通信的基本过程,可以看到UE与基站的通信自始至终是以基站为中心,基于固定的小区规划进行数据传输。
本公开实施例提供了信息处理方法、网路侧设备和终端,用以解决目前的通信机制还不能支持灵活、动态地的小区覆盖的问题。
其中,一种信息处理方法和网络侧设备,以及另一种信息处理方法和终端是基于同一申请构思的,由于一种信息处理方法和网络侧设备、另一种信息处理方法和终端解决问题的原理相似,因此网络侧设备和对应的方法、终端和对应的方法的实施可以相互参见,重复之处不再赘述。
如图1所示,本公开的实施例提供了一种信息处理方法,具体包括以下步骤:

可选地,所述虚拟小区由所述目标终端的专属TRP集合确定;或者,所述虚拟小区由所述网络侧设备以半静态或者动态方式确定的TRP集合确定。
上述方案中,通过网络侧设备获取第一信息;并根据所述第一信息,确定服务于目标终端的虚拟小区或目标TRP集合。这样,基于网络侧设备为目标终端确定为其服务的专属的虚拟小区或专属的目标TRP集合,如该虚拟小区或目标TRP集合是以半静态或者动态方式确定的,且该虚拟小区或目标TRP集合可以跟随时间的变化和/或跟随终端的移动而动态变化,从而实现了将固定小区传输变换为移动小区传输,并且还可以实现灵活的小区覆盖,能够解决目前的通信机制还不能支持灵活、动态地的小区覆盖的问题。
可选地,所述网络侧设备获取第一信息,包括:
所述网络侧设备接收所述目标终端发送的参考信号,通过所述参考信号携带所述第一信息;其中,所述第一信息包括:所述目标终端的唯一标识信息,和/或,接入请求序列;

所述网络侧设备在检测到所述参考信号携带的所述目标终端的唯一标识信息的情况下,确定服务于所述目标终端的虚拟小区或目标TRP集合。
具体的,所述网络侧设备接收所述目标终端发送的参考信号;其中,所述参考信号携带所述目标终端的唯一标识信息,以便于网络侧设备识别该目标终端,进而可以为所述目标终端配置其专属的虚拟小区或目标TRP集合。

可选地,所述参考信号由唯一序列生成;其中,所述唯一序列与所述目标终端的唯一标识信息相关联,或者所述唯一序列是所述目标终端的唯一标识信息的函数。
例如:所述参考信号为AP-RS,该AP-RS为一个全球唯一的序列。可选地,所述全球唯一的序列可以由至少一个伪随机序列构成,如图2所示,其包括但不限于以下至少一项:地理位置信息、节点属性信息、业务类型信息等。该伪随机序列可以为gold序列,或者正交序列,或者除此之外的其他序列等,本公开实施例不以为限。
可选地,所述目标终端的唯一标识信息可以直接携带在所述AP-RS上,如AP-RS的至少部分序列用于表征所述目标终端的唯一标识信息,或者所述目标终端的唯一标识信息与所述AP-RS间接关联,如所述唯一序列是所述目 标终端的唯一标识信息的函数,如目标终端的唯一标识信息可以作为一个或者多个gold序列的扰码,即循环移位寄存器的初始输入状态值。
可选地,AP-RS也可以是一个在预定第一区域内具有唯一标识的序列,所述预定的第一区域覆盖范围远大于一个固定小区的覆盖范围,也可以根据预定规则定义的一个区域,如跟踪区域(tracking area,TA),也可以是一个国家/地区。该区域包含多个固定小区,所述固定小区指的是目前移动通信架构下的预先规划好覆盖且配置PCI的实体小区;或者网络定义的虚拟小区及区域内是是时间的函数,例如:3个小时内AP-RS具有唯一的标识信息。所述唯一标识信息,如果是全球标识则任何两个UE不能具有相同的AP-RS标识。
可选地,网络侧设备基于目标终端的AP-RS序列,或者预先约定的AP-RS序列携带的全球或者区域唯一标识信息,作为目标终端标识/虚拟小区标识/TRP集合标识,虚拟小区的数据信道或者参考信号可以利用该目标终端标识/虚拟小区标识进行扰码。
例如:网络侧设备可以利用高层信令或者物理层信令向目标终端配置虚拟小区标识,或者利用预先约定(如协议约定)的方法,确定配置虚拟小区标识。其中,所述高层信可以为RRC信令,所述物理层信令可以为目标TRP集合发送的AP-RS序列。如虚拟小区对应的多个TRP发送相同的AP-RS序列,用于UE识别虚拟小区标识;所述预先约定的方法可以是根据UE的AP-RS,确定与该UE关联的虚拟小区标识。需要指出的是,该虚拟小区标识未必显式存在,如虚拟小区向目标终端发送的信号所关联的目标终端的唯一标识信息也可以等价视为虚拟小区标识等,本公开实施例不以为限。
可选地,所述虚拟小区对应的至少一个TRP或所述目标TRP集合中的至少一个TRP向所述目标终端发送的信息与所述唯一标识信息相关联。
例如:虚拟小区对应的至少一个TRP或所述TRP集合中的至少一个TRP向所述目标终端发送的信息,可以是与该AP-RS信息相关联的数据传输或者数据调度信息等,本公开实施例不以为限。

所述至少一个TRP发送的信息中扰码序列为所述唯一标识信息的函数。
例如:网络侧设备可以接收目标终端发送的唯一标识信息,或者基于目标终端发送的参考信号确定所述目标终端对应的唯一标识信息。这样,网络侧设备在确定或接收目标终端的唯一标识信息的情况下,基于该唯一标识信息,以半静态或者动态方式确定为所述目标终端配置专属的虚拟小区或专属的目标TRP集合,所述虚拟小区对应的至少一个TRP或所述目标TRP集合中的至少一个TRP向所述目标终端发送的信息与所述唯一标识信息相关联。
例如:所述至少一个TRP发送的信息以所述唯一标识信息作为扰码序列;或者,所述至少一个TRP发送的信息中扰码序列为所述唯一标识信息的函数。所述目标终端接收虚拟小区或TRP集合对应的至少一个TRP发送的下行数据时,可以利用前述唯一标识信息进行解扰码操作;相应地,所述目标终端侧发送的上行数据也可以利用该唯一标识信息进行加扰操作等。
该实施例中,通过目标终端侧发送的携带唯一标识信息的AP-RS,辅助网络侧设备识别该目标终端,并由网络侧设备确定时变或基于终端位置变化的目标TRS集合或虚拟小区,可以避免基站与终端频繁握手,且TRP与UE间的理解不存在歧义,保证网络侧设备能够动态或半静态为所述目标终端配置专属的虚拟小区或专属的目标TRP集合,且便于操作实现,并具有较高的鲁棒性。

例如:在网络侧设备不存在CU的情况下,可以由第一TRP与第一TRP集合中各TRP的交互信息,来确定服务于目标终端的虚拟小区或目标TRP集合。
其中,所述第一TRP集合可以包括与所述第一TRP相邻的一个或多个 TRP。如目标终端在可以在AP-RS发送时机向第一TRP集合中的各TRP发送AP-RS,该第一TRP集合中各TRP接收所述AP-RS,并对其信号接收质量进行测量,得到AP-RS的信号接收质量测量结果(即第二测量结果),并将所述第二测量结果发送至所述第一TRP;或者,所述终端还可以在AP-RS发送时机检测该第一TRP集合中各TRP的AP-RS,并进行信道质量的测量,得到信道质量测量结果(即第一测量结果),所述目标终端可以将该信道质量的测量结果上报给相应TRP,并由其反馈给该第一TRP,或者所述目标终端将所述第一测量结果上报给该第一TRP等。
又如所述目标终端可以在AP-RS发送时机向预配置的TRP列表中的各TRP发送AP-RS,预配置的TRP列表中的TRP接收所述AP-RS,并对其信号接收质量进行测量,得到AP-RS的信号接收质量测量结果(即第二测量结果),该预配置的TRP列表中的各TRP之间可以信息交互,从而可以通过该第一TRP集合中的TRP将预配置的TRP列表中的各TRP进行测量得到的第二测量结果反馈给该第一TRP,即该第一TRP可以获知该预配置的TRP列表中各TRP对所述目标终端的信号接收质量;或者所述终端还可以在AP-RS发送时机检测该预配置的TRP列表中各TRP的AP-RS,并进行信道质量的测量,得到信道质量测量结果(即第一测量结果),所述目标终端可以将该信道质量的测量结果上报给相应TRP,并基于TRP列表中各TRP之间的信息交互,从而可以通过该第一TRP集合中的TRP将所述目标终端测量得到的第一测量结果反馈给该第一TRP,或者所述目标终端可以将所述第一测量结果上报给该第一TRP等。
这样,该第一TRP可以根据该信号接收质量测量结果和/或目标终端上报的信道质量测量结果,将所述预配置的TRP列表中满足预定规则的TRP确定为目标终端的专属目标TRP集合,如TRP个数与类别;或者,根据所述预配置的TRP列表中满足预定规则的TRP确定的目标TRP集合,确定所述目标终端的专属虚拟小区。其中,该预设规则可以是信号接收质量和/或信道质量超过预设门限,或者除此之外的其他规则等,本公开实施例不以为限。
可选地,目标终端发送的AP-RS中可以携带唯一标识信息,以辅助网络侧设备识别该目标终端,和/或,目标终端发送的AP-RS中还可以接入请求序 列,如网络侧设备在检测到携带该接入请求序列的AP-RS时,为所述目标终端配置其专属的虚拟小区或专属的目标TRP集合。
上述实施例中,通过CU为目标终端选择最优的专属目标TRP集合或专属虚拟小区,或者通过TRP之间的信息交互,为目标终端选择最优的专属目标TRP集合或专属虚拟小区,以保证最优的传输波束,使得基站与终端间利用最佳传输路径进行传输,将传输转换为短距离通信,有利于提高终端的传输容量,更好的为终端服务。
可选地,所述虚拟小区可以由一个或多个TRP构成,虚拟小区向目标终端进行信号传输;该虚拟小区对应的TRP或目标TRP集合中的TRP的个数,TRP的标识,虚拟小区覆盖范围,虚拟小区覆盖面积中的至少一个,可以是所述目标终端位置的函数,或者与目标终端位置相关联。更具体的,虚拟小区由至少一个TRP构成,随着目标终端位置的移动,构成虚拟小区的TRP或者所述目标TRP集合中TRP的个数、TRP的种类、TRP标识(如所述标识用于识别不同的硬件,如48比特的MAC地址或5G-S-TMSI)中的至少一个,对应改变;或者,随着时间的变化而对应改变等。虚拟小区覆盖范围和/或虚拟小区覆盖面积,随着目标终端位置的变化对应改变,或者随着时间的变化而对应改变。
需要指出的是,上述小区是虚拟的,因此实际上并不存在传统意义上的物理层小区,因此该虚拟小区/flexible cell不配置PCI。即RAN侧不为该虚拟小区配置ID范围为0-1007的物理层小区标识。更具体的,终端不期望在虚拟小区向终端发送的信号中检测到RAN侧配置的PCI或者与该PCI对应的主同步信号(Primary Synchronisation Signal,PSS)和/或辅同步信号(Secondary Synchronisation Signal,SSS)。
还需要特别指出的是,所述PCI是3G/4G/5G移动通信中的物理层小区标识,其小区ID范围是0-1008,即可以表示1008个物理层小区,作为小区标识只有物理层才能识别,且所述PCI由基站发送的PSS/SSS携带用于UE小区搜索过程。
所述虚拟小区对应的至少一个TRP或所述目标TRP集合中的至少一个TRP向目标终端发送的信号与目标终端对应的唯一标识信息相关联。例如, 虚拟小区向目标终端进行下行数据传输或者信令传输时以目标终端的唯一标识信息标识作为扰码序列,或者扰码序列是目标终端的唯一标识信息的函数。相应的,目标终端向虚拟小区或所述目标TRP集合进行的上行传输,可以等价该虚拟小区具有一个虚拟小区标识。可选地,该虚拟小区标识与目标终端对应的唯一标识信息相关联,或者是目标终端对应的唯一标识信息的函数,且该虚拟小区的标识,并不随着虚拟小区内TRP类别,TRP标识,TRP个数,覆盖范围,覆盖面积中的至少一个的改变而改变。
可选地,所述方法还包括:
所述网络侧设备向所述目标终端发送预配置的TRP列表的配置信息;其中,所述配置信息包括以下至少一项:所述预配置的TRP列表中每个TRP的标识信息、每个TRP对应的参考信号、每个TRP对应的参考信号发送时机。
具体的,在所述网路侧设备为所述目标终端配置所述TRP列表的情况下,所述网络侧设备获取所述第一信息可以包括:所述网络侧设备接收所述目标终端在所述参考信号发送时机上发送的参考信号,和/或,接收所述目标终端发送的对所述预配置的TEP列表中的TRP的参考信号进行测量的第一测量结果;所述网络侧设备对所述目标终端发送的参考信号进行测量,得到第二测量结果。其中,所述第一信息包括所述第一测量结果和/或所述第二测量结果。
例如:由网络侧设备配置TRP列表和/或TRP列表中各TRP对应的AP-RS时机。可选地,网络侧设备可以利用高层信令为目标终端配置TRP列表的信息,所述信息可以包含TRP的标识、每个TRP对应的AP-RS信息、每个TRP对应的AP-RS时机中的至少一个。
这样,目标终端可以基于网络侧设备配置TRP列表和/或TRP列表中各TRP对应的AP-RS时机,向TRP列表内各TRP发送参考信号,由该TRP列表中的TRP对该参考信号进行信号质量的测量,得到第二测量结果。或者,目标终端还可以在该AP-RS时机上检测TRP列表中各TRP的AP-RS,并进行信道质量的测量,得到第一测量结果。这样网络侧设备即可获得包括第一测量结果和/或第二测量结果的第一信息。
可选地,所述预配置的TRP列表由所述目标终端基于在参考信号发送时机上检测到TRP发送的参考信号确定;其中,所述参考信号发送时机由所述 目标终端基于预设规则确定。
具体的,在所述预配置的TRP列表和/或参考信号发送时机由所述终端确定的情况下,所述网络侧设备获取第一信息,包括:所述网络侧设备接收所述目标终端在其确定的参考信号发送时机上发送的参考信号,和/或,接收所述目标终端发送的对TRP列表中TRP的参考信号进行测量的第一测量结果;所述网络侧设备对所述目标终端发送的参考信号进行测量,得到第二测量结果。这样网络侧设备即可获得包括第一测量结果和/或第二测量结果的第一信息。
可选地,所述参考信号发送时机由所述目标终端基于预设规则确定,包括:
所述参考信号发送时机由所述目标终端基于周期性的预定图样确定;其中,所述预定图样用于指示参考信号的资源占用情况。
例如:目标终端可以根据预定规则,确定AP-RS发送时机与对应的TRP列表。如基于协议约定的方式,确定BS-AP和/或UE-AP对应的AP-RS的发送时机。在对应AP-RS时机上,如果检测到TRP对应AP-RS,则维护到相应的TRP列表。如图4所示,BS-AP与UE-AP对应的AP-RS在AP-RS发送时机上周期发送且具有不同的预定义的模式。如图4给出了一个周期的预设预设,其中不同线条的矩形框可以可以对应不同AP-RS的发送patter,可以通过周期性的该预设图样确定周期性的AP-RS发送时机。如果基站或者UE没有检测到发送pattern对应的AP-RS,则认为其附近不存在该AP。当AP是BS-AP时,BS-AP可以获得附近传输的AP-RS包括目标UE发送的AP-RS;当AP是UE-AP时,UE-AP可以获得附近BS-AP传输的AP-RS的测量结果。
进一步地,目标终端根据网络侧配置TRP列表与对应的AP-RS时机,测量TRP对应的AP-RS,并向网络侧设备反馈上述测量结果;或者UE侧根据预定规则确定AP-RS时机与对应的TRP列表,根据对TRP的测量结果向网络侧设备上报测量结果;或者BS-AP向邻近的BS-AP或者中心控制单元发送BS-AP对UE对应的AP-RS的测量结果。
这样,网络侧设备可以根据目标终端上报的测量结果,和/或,TRP上报的对目标终端对应的AP-RS测量结果,确定服务于该目标终端的虚拟小区或 目标TRP集合,例如TRP个数与类别。可选地,虚拟小区的数据信道或者参考信号可以利用目标终端的唯一标识信息/虚拟小区标识进行扰码(虽然该目标终端对应的唯一标识信息是固定的,但是该唯一标识信息对应的目标TRS集合是不断变化的)。
该实施例中,网络侧设备为目标终端配置TRP列表,或者目标终端根据预定规则确定AP-RS时机及对应的TRP列表,以及目标终端测量TRP列表中各TRP对应AP-RS并向虚拟小区或目标TRP集合反馈信道质量,和/或,相邻基站测量目标终端对应的AP-RS接收质量,这样网络侧设备可以根据BS-AP测量结果和/或UE-AP测量结果上报共同确定目标UE对应的虚拟小区内的TRP集合,有利于网络侧及时精准的更新虚拟小区对应的TRP或者更新所述目标TRP集合。
可选地,所述的信息处理方法,还包括:
所述网络侧设备接收所述目标终端发送的能力信息;
所述网络侧设备根据所述能力信息,执行与所述目标终端的虚拟小区或目标TRP集合相关的处理;
其中,所述与所述目标终端的虚拟小区或目标TRP集合相关的处理,包括如下至少一项:
为所述目标终端配置所述虚拟小区或所述目标TRP集合的处理;
执行释放所述虚拟小区或所述目标TRP集合的处理;
其中,所述能力信息包括以下至少一项:
所述目标终端是否支持配置所述虚拟小区或所述目标TRP集合的指示信息;
虚拟小区或目标TRP集合请求消息;
虚拟小区或目标TRP集合释放消息;
虚拟小区或目标TRP集合对应的下行控制信道资源配置信息;
虚拟小区或目标TRP集合的下行传输对应的频域相关信息。
例如:目标终端可以向网络侧设备上报其支持虚拟小区的能力信息,如目标终端至少需要上报其是否支持虚拟小区或目标TRP集合的配置,以便网络侧设备执行是否为所述目标终端配置所述虚拟小区或所述目标TRP集合的 处理;或者所述能力信息还可以包括:虚拟小区或目标TRP集合请求信息,虚拟小区或TRP集合释放消息等,则所述网络侧设备可以根据该请求信息,执行为所述目标终端配置所述虚拟小区或所述目标TRP集合的处理;以及根据所述释放消息,执行释放所述虚拟小区或所述目标TRP集合的处理等;除此之外,目标终端还可以向网络侧设备上报该目标终端偏好的虚拟小区对应的下行控制信道资源配置信息,如搜索空间/CORESET的时域和/或频域信息;该目标终端偏好的虚拟小区下行传输对应的带宽信息,如带宽信息包括带宽大小,带宽部分(BWP)的配置信息等,该目标终端偏好的发送与接收天线数目相关的信息,以便网络侧设备为所述目标终端配置更优的专属虚拟小区或专属目标TRP集合等,本公开实施例不以为限。
上述终端能力上报途径可以是,通过终端发送的AP-RS序列携带该能力信息;可选地,终端也可以通过物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,PUSCH)/物理上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel,PUCCH)向网络侧设备上报此能力信息,例如:终端与虚拟小区和固定小区(如现有的物理小区)同时保持双链接,或者终端与目标TRP集合和固定小区同时保持双连接等,本公开实施例不以为限。
该实施例中,考虑未来的6G网络可能与4G/5G网络并存,或者未来6G网络也可能兼容4G/5G网络的实体小区,而不只存在虚拟小区,例如存在终端与固定小区以及虚拟小区保持双链接,或者终端与目标TRP集合和固定小区同时保持双连接的情况。这样,在支持虚拟小区的终端向网络侧固定小区发送支持虚拟小区的能力信息,且发送虚拟小区请求信息,基站才会提供虚拟小区服务;并且终端反馈偏好的虚拟小区配置信息也有利于网络侧灵活配置虚拟小区,以及当终端完成数据传输例如从元宇宙退出后,可以向网络侧发送虚拟小区释放请求,以及时释放连接。
可选地,所述网络侧设备获取第一信息,包括:
所述网络侧设备接收所述目标终端在接入信道发送机会上发送的参考信号,通过所述参考信号携带所述第一信息;
所述网络侧设备根据所述第一信息,确定服务于目标终端的虚拟小区或目标传输接收点TRP集合,包括:
所述网络侧设备检测到所述参考信号携带的第一信息包含接入请求序列的情况下,确定服务于目标终端的虚拟小区或目标TRP集合。
可选地,所述接入信道发送机会由所述目标终端基于预定规则确定,或者所述接入信道发送机会由所述网络侧设备配置。
例如:目标终端可以向网络侧设备发送AP-RS,该AP-RS可以携带请求序列。具体的,终端可以根据预定规则,确定对应的接入信道发送机会;或者终端接收并解析网络发送的广播消息承载的虚拟小区对应的接入信道发送机会的配置信息,来确定接入信道发送机会;目标终端在上述接入信道发送机会上发送AP-RS序列,该AP-RS序列中至少包含目标终端对应的接入请求序列,和/或,目标终端的唯一标识信息。可选地,接入请求序列与目标终端对应的虚拟小区相关联。可选地,所述接入序列可以是AP-RS序列的一部分。
网络侧检测到包含接入请求序列的AP-RS后,可以为请求接入的目标终端分配虚拟小区,如通过包含唯一标识信息的AP-RS向该目标终端发起进行数据传输过程,从而减少了目标终端的接入过程。
可选地,目标终端根据预定规则确定接入序列发送机会时,也可以采用周期性的预设图样来确定,如图3所示,这里不再赘述。
可选地,所述网络侧设备根据所述第一信息,确定服务于目标终端的虚拟小区或目标传输接收点TRP集合之后,还包括:
所述网络侧设备向所述目标终端发送第一配置信息和/或第二配置信息;其中,所述第一配置信息是:所述目标终端接入所述虚拟小区或所述目标TRP集合的接入信道机会的配置信息;所述第二配置信息是:所述目标终端向物理小区发起接入的物理随机接入信道机会的配置信息。
例如:在6G***中也可以存在4G/5G***中类似的RRC空闲(Idle)/非激活(Inactive)/关联(connected)模式。当UE处于RRC Idle/Inactive mode时,目标终端可以检测小区PCI,并接收本小区传输的广播消息如寻呼消息与***消息;如广播消息为处于RRC空闲态的终端配置虚拟小区接入资源,例如***消息为终端配置虚拟小区接入信道机会和/或向本小区发起接入的PRACH机会。
需要指出的是,本小区的PRACH机会对应本小区的PCI,而虚拟小区的 接入信道机会则对应一个虚拟小区,不配置PCI。
目标终端可以选择向虚拟小区或者接收广播消息的小区发起接入过程。具体的,如果目标终端向虚拟小区发起接入过程,即接收虚拟小区的数据传输,该数据与目标终端的AP-RS相关;如果目标终端向接收广播消息的小区发起接入过程,目标终端可以遵循传统的4步或者2步PRACH接入过程,接收的数据与该小区PCI相关。
该实施例中,目标终端根据预定规则或由***消息携带虚拟小区的接入时机,当目标终端通过携带唯一标识信息的AP-RS接入信道后,虚拟小区可以通过该唯一标识信息作为UE ID进行数据传输,避免了基站向终端通知T-CNTI与C-RNTI的四步随机接入过程。
上述方案中,网络侧设备为目标终端配置其专属的虚拟小区或目标TRP集合,可以时间将固定小区传输变换为短距离通信,有利于提高接收信噪比,并且降低小区切换时延,支持低时延、高吞吐、传输。
本公开实施例涉及的网络侧设备,可以是基站,该基站可以包括多个为终端提供服务的小区。根据具体应用场合不同,基站又可以称为接入点,或者可以是接入网中在空中接口上通过一个或多个扇区与无线终端设备通信的设备,或者其它名称。网络设备可用于将收到的空中帧与网际协议(Internet Protocol,IP)分组进行相互更换,作为无线终端设备与接入网的其余部分之间的路由器,其中接入网的其余部分可包括网际协议(IP)通信网络。网络设备还可协调对空中接口的属性管理。例如,本公开实施例涉及的网络设备可以是全球移动通信***(Global System for Mobile communications,GSM)或码分多址接入(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)中的网络设备(Base Transceiver Station,BTS),也可以是带宽码分多址接入(Wide-band Code Division Multiple Access,WCDMA)中的网络设备(NodeB),还可以是长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)***中的演进型网络设备(evolutional Node B,eNB或e-NodeB)、5G网络架构(next generation system)中的5G基站(gNB),也可以是家庭演进基站(Home evolved Node B,HeNB)、中继节点(relay node)、家庭基站(femto)、微微基站(pico)等,本公开实施例中并不限定。在一些网络结构中,网络设备可以包括集中单元(centralized unit,CU)节点和分布 单元(distributed unit,DU)节点,集中单元和分布单元也可以地理上分开布置。

以上从网络侧介绍了本公开实施例的信息处理方法,下面将结合附图对终端侧的信息处理方法做进一步说明。

步骤72:所述终端接收服务于所述终端的虚拟小区对应的至少一个TRP或目标TRP集合中的至少一个TRP发送的信号;其中,所述虚拟小区或所述目标TRP集合是所述网络侧设备根据所述第一信息确定的。
可选地,所述目标TRP集合是所述网络侧设备为所述目标终端确定的专属TRP集合,或者所述目标TRP集合由所述网络侧设备以半静态或者动态方式为所述目标终端确定的专属TRP集合;
可选第,所述虚拟小区由所述网络侧设备为所述目标终端确定的专属TRP集合确定;或者,所述虚拟小区由所述网络侧设备以半静态或者动态方式为所述目标终端确定的TRP集合确定。
本公开实施例中,通过终端向网络侧设备发送第一信息,网络侧设备根据所述第一信息,确定服务于目标终端的虚拟小区或目标TRP集合,所述终端接收服务于所述终端的虚拟小区对应的至少一个TRP或TRP集合中的至少一个TRP发送的信号。这样,基于网络侧设备为目标终端确定其专属的虚拟小区或目标TRP集合,有利于将固定小区传输变换为移动小区传输,并且可以实现灵活的小区覆盖,能够解决目前的通信机制还不能支持灵活、动态地的小区覆盖的问题。
可选地,所述终端向网络侧设备发送第一信息,包括:
所述终端向所述网络侧设备发送参考信号;通过所述参考信号携带所述 第一信息;其中,所述第一信息携带所述终端的唯一标识信息,和/或,接入请求序列。
具体的,所述终端向所述网络侧设备发送携带所述第一信息的参考信号,且所述第一信息包括所述终端的唯一标识信息;所述网络侧设备接收所述目标终端发送的参考信号,以便于网络侧设备识别该目标终端,进而可以为所述目标终端配置其专属的虚拟小区或目标TRP集合。
例如:该参考信号可以是AP-RS。可选地,目标终端可以确定AP-RS的发送资源,目标终端可以在该发送资源上向网络侧设备发送该AP-RS,该AP-RS可以携带该目标终端对应的唯一标识信息。可选地,该唯一标识信息可以是全球唯一标识,或者是区域唯一标识等,本公开实施例不以为限。
可选地,所述参考信号由唯一序列生成;其中,所述唯一序列与所述终端的唯一标识信息相关联,或者所述唯一序列是所述终端的唯一标识信息的函数。
例如:所述参考信号为AP-RS,该AP-RS为一个全球唯一的序列。可选地,所述全球唯一的序列可以由至少一个伪随机序列构成,如图2所示,其包括但不限于以下至少一项:地理位置信息、节点属性信息、业务类型信息等。该伪随机序列可以为gold序列,或者正交序列,或者除此之外的其他序列等,本公开实施例不以为限。
可选地,所述目标终端的唯一标识信息可以直接携带在所述AP-RS上,如AP-RS的至少部分序列用于表征所述目标终端的唯一标识信息,或者所述目标终端的唯一标识信息与所述AP-RS间接关联,如所述唯一序列是所述目标终端的唯一标识信息的函数,如目标终端的唯一标识信息可以作为一个或者多个gold序列的扰码,即循环移位寄存器的初始输入状态值。
可选地,AP-RS也可以是一个在预定第一区域内具有唯一标识的序列,所述预定的第一区域覆盖范围远大于一个固定小区的覆盖范围,也可以根据预定规则定义的一个区域,如跟踪区域(tracking area,TA),也可以是一个国家/地区。该区域包含多个固定小区,所述固定小区指的是目前移动通信架构下的预先规划好覆盖且配置PCI的实体小区;或者网络定义的虚拟小区及区域内是是时间的函数,例如:3个小时内AP-RS具有唯一的标识信息。所 述唯一标识信息,如果是全球标识则任何两个UE不能具有相同的AP-RS标识。
可选地,所述至少一个TRP发送的信息与所述唯一标识信息相关联。
例如:虚拟小区对应的至少一个TRP或所述TRP集合中的至少一个TRP向所述目标终端发送的信息,可以是与该AP-RS信息相关联的数据传输或者数据调度信息等,本公开实施例不以为限。
可选地,所述至少一个TRP发送的信息与所述唯一标识信息相关联,包括以下一项:
所述至少一个TRP发送的信息以所述唯一标识信息作为扰码序列;
所述至少一个TRP发送的信息中扰码序列为所述唯一标识信息的函数。
其中,至少一个TRP发送的信息可以包括至少一个TRP发送的信号。
例如:网络侧设备可以接收目标终端发送的唯一标识信息,或者基于目标终端发送的参考信号确定所述目标终端对应的唯一标识信息。这样,网络侧设备在确定或接收目标终端的唯一标识信息的情况下,基于该唯一标识信息,以半静态或者动态方式确定为所述目标终端配置专属的虚拟小区或专属的目标TRP集合,所述虚拟小区对应的至少一个TRP或所述目标TRP集合中的至少一个TRP向所述目标终端发送的信号与所述唯一标识信息相关联。
例如:所述至少一个TRP发送的信号以所述唯一标识信息作为扰码序列;或者,所述至少一个TRP发送的信号中扰码序列为所述唯一标识信息的函数。所述目标终端接收虚拟小区或TRP集合对应的至少一个TRP发送的下行数据时,可以利用前述唯一标识信息进行解扰码操作;相应地,所述目标终端侧发送的上行数据也可以利用该唯一标识信息进行加扰操作等。
该实施例中,通过目标终端侧发送的携带唯一标识信息的AP-RS,辅助网络侧设备识别该目标终端,并由网络侧设备确定时变或基于终端位置变化的目标TRS集合或虚拟小区,可以避免基站与终端频繁握手,且TRP与UE间的理解不存在歧义,保证网络侧设备能够动态或半静态为所述目标终端配置专属的虚拟小区或专属的目标TRP集合,且便于操作实现,并具有较高的鲁棒性。
可选地,所述终端向网络侧设备发送第一信息,包括:
所述终端向预配置的TRP列表中的TRP发送参考信号,和/或,检测所述预配置的TRP列表中TRP发送的参考信号;
所述终端对所述TRP发送的参考信号进行测量,得到第一测量结果;
所述终端向所述网络侧设备发送所述第一测量结果。
例如:目标终端在AP-RS发送时机(occasion)发送AP-RS,网络侧设备接收AP-RS对其信号接收质量进行测量,得到AP-RS的信号接收质量测量结果(即第二测量结果),如预配置的TRP列表中的各TRP对目标终端发送的AP-RS进行测量,且各TRP测量得到的第二测量结果分别反馈至CU,由CU为所述终端配置专属虚拟小区或目标TRP集合。或者,所述终端还可以在AP-RS发送时机检测网络侧设备发送的AP-RS,并进行信道质量的测量,得到信道质量测量结果(即第一测量结果),并将该信道质量的测量结果上报给该网络侧设备,如目标终端将对各TRP的参考信号进行测量的第一测量结果反馈给CU,或者目标终端将对各TRP的参考信号进行测量的第一测量结果反馈给相应的TRP,且该TRP将该第一测量结果发送至CU等,由CU为所述终端配置专属虚拟小区或目标TRP集合。
网络侧设备(如CU)根据该信号接收质量测量结果和/或目标终端上报的信道质量测量结果,从所述预配置的TRP列表中确定所述目标终端的专属目标TRP集合,如TRP个数与类别;或者,根据从所述预配置的TRP列表中确定的目标TRP集合,确定所述目标终端的专属虚拟小区。
又例如:目标终端在可以在AP-RS发送时机向第一TRP集合(如所述第一TRP集合可以包括与第一TRP相邻的一个或多个TRP)中的各TRP发送AP-RS,该第一TRP集合中各TRP接收所述AP-RS,并对其信号接收质量进行测量,得到AP-RS的信号接收质量测量结果(即第二测量结果),并将所述第二测量结果发送至第一TRP;或者,所述终端还可以在AP-RS发送时机检测该第一TRP集合中各TRP的AP-RS,并进行信道质量的测量,得到信道质量测量结果(即第一测量结果),所述目标终端可以将该信道质量的测量结果上报给相应TRP,并由其反馈给该第一TRP,或者所述目标终端将所述第一测量结果上报给该第一TRP等,由所述第一TRP为所述终端配置专属虚拟小区或目标TRP集合。
或者,所述目标终端可以在AP-RS发送时机向预配置的TRP列表中的各TRP发送AP-RS,预配置的TRP列表中的TRP接收所述AP-RS,并对其信号接收质量进行测量,得到AP-RS的信号接收质量测量结果(即第二测量结果),该预配置的TRP列表中的各TRP之间可以信息交互,从而可以通过该第一TRP集合中的TRP将预配置的TRP列表中的各TRP进行测量得到的第二测量结果反馈给该第一TRP,即该第一TRP可以获知该预配置的TRP列表中各TRP对所述目标终端的信号接收质量;或者所述终端还可以在AP-RS发送时机检测该预配置的TRP列表中各TRP的AP-RS,并进行信道质量的测量,得到信道质量测量结果(即第一测量结果),所述目标终端可以将该信道质量的测量结果上报给相应TRP,并基于TRP列表中各TRP之间的信息交互,从而可以通过该第一TRP集合中的TRP将所述目标终端测量得到的第一测量结果反馈给该第一TRP,或者所述目标终端可以将所述第一测量结果上报给该第一TRP等,由所述第一TRP为所述终端配置专属虚拟小区或目标TRP集合。
这样,该第一TRP可以根据该信号接收质量测量结果和/或目标终端上报的信道质量测量结果,将所述预配置的TRP列表中满足预定规则的TRP确定为目标终端的专属目标TRP集合,如TRP个数与类别;或者,根据所述预配置的TRP列表中满足预定规则的TRP确定的目标TRP集合,确定所述目标终端的专属虚拟小区。其中,该预设规则可以是信号接收质量和/或信道质量超过预设门限,或者除此之外的其他规则等,本公开实施例不以为限。
可选地,目标终端发送的AP-RS中可以携带唯一标识信息,以辅助网络侧设备识别该目标终端,和/或,目标终端发送的AP-RS中还可以接入请求序列,如网络侧设备在检测到携带该接入请求序列的AP-RS时,为所述目标终端配置其专属的虚拟小区或专属的目标TRP集合。
可选地,所述终端接收所述网络侧设备发送的所述预配置的TRP列表的配置信息;其中,所述配置信息包括以下至少一项:所述预配置的TRP列表中每个TRP的标识信息、每个TRP对应的参考信号、每个TRP对应的参考信号发送时机;所述终端根据所述配置信息,确定所述预配置的TRP列表。
例如:由网络侧设备配置TRP列表和/或TRP列表中各TRP对应的AP-RS 时机。可选地,网络侧设备可以利用高层信令为目标终端配置TRP列表的信息,所述信息可以包含TRP的标识、每个TRP对应的AP-RS信息、每个TRP对应的AP-RS时机中的至少一个。
这样,目标终端可以基于网络侧设备配置TRP列表和/或TRP列表中各TRP对应的AP-RS时机,向TRP列表内各TRP发送参考信号,由该TRP列表中的TRP对该参考信号进行信号质量的测量,得到第二测量结果。或者,目标终端还可以在该AP-RS时机上检测TRP列表中各TRP的AP-RS,并进行信道质量的测量,得到第一测量结果。这样网络侧设备即可获得包括第一测量结果和/或第二测量结果的第一信息,进而可以基于该第一信息为所述终端配置专属虚拟小区或目标TRP集合。
可选地,所述终端向网络侧设备发送第一信息之前,还包括:
所述终端基于预定规则,确定参考信号发送时机;
所述终端在所述参考信号发送时机上检测到TRP发送的参考信号,则将所述TRP记录至所述预配置的TRP列表。
也即该实施例中,所述预配置的TRP列表可以由终端侧确定。
可选地,所述终端基于预定规则,确定参考信号发送时机,包括:
所述终端基于周期性的预设图样,确定参考信号发送时机;其中,所述预定图样用于指示参考信号的资源占用情况。
例如:目标终端可以根据预定规则,确定AP-RS发送时机与对应的TRP列表。如基于协议约定的方式,确定BS-AP和/或UE-AP对应的AP-RS的发送时机。在对应AP-RS时机上,如果检测到TRP对应AP-RS,则维护到相应的TRP列表。如图4所示,BS-AP与UE-AP对应的AP-RS在AP-RS发送时机上周期发送且具有不同的预定义的模式。如图4给出了一个周期的预设预设,其中不同线条的矩形框可以可以对应不同AP-RS的发送patter,可以通过周期性的该预设图样确定周期性的AP-RS发送时机。如果基站或者UE没有检测到发送pattern对应的AP-RS,则认为其附近不存在该AP。当AP是BS-AP时,BS-AP可以获得附近传输的AP-RS包括目标UE发送的AP-RS;当AP是UE-AP时,UE-AP可以获得附近BS-AP传输的AP-RS的测量结果。
进一步地,目标终端根据网络侧配置TRP列表与对应的AP-RS时机,测 量TRP对应的AP-RS,并向网络侧设备反馈上述测量结果;或者UE侧根据预定规则确定AP-RS时机与对应的TRP列表,根据对TRP的测量结果向网络侧设备上报测量结果;或者BS-AP向邻近的BS-AP或者中心控制单元发送BS-AP对UE对应的AP-RS的测量结果。
这样,网络侧设备可以根据目标终端上报的测量结果,和/或,TRP上报的对目标终端对应的AP-RS测量结果,确定服务于该目标终端的虚拟小区或目标TRP集合,例如TRP个数与类别。可选地,虚拟小区的数据信道或者参考信号可以利用目标终端的唯一标识信息/虚拟小区标识进行扰码(虽然该目标终端对应的唯一标识信息是固定的,但是该唯一标识信息对应的目标TRS集合是不断变化的)。
该实施例中,网络侧设备为目标终端配置TRP列表,或者目标终端根据预定规则确定AP-RS时机及对应的TRP列表,以及目标终端测量TRP列表中各TRP对应AP-RS并向虚拟小区或目标TRP集合反馈信道质量,和/或,相邻基站测量目标终端对应的AP-RS接收质量,这样网络侧设备可以根据BS-AP测量结果和/或UE-AP测量结果上报共同确定目标UE对应的虚拟小区内的TRP集合,有利于网络侧及时精准的更新虚拟小区对应的TRP或者更新所述目标TRP集合。
可选地,所述信息处理方法还包括:
所述终端向所述网络侧设备发送能力信息;其中,所述能力信息包括以下至少一项:
所述终端是否支持配置所述虚拟小区或所述目标TRP集合的指示信息;
虚拟小区或目标TRP集合请求消息;
虚拟小区或目标TRP集合释放消息;
虚拟小区或目标TRP集合对应的下行控制信道资源配置信息;
虚拟小区或目标TRP集合的下行传输对应的频域相关信息。
例如:目标终端可以向网络侧设备上报其支持虚拟小区的能力信息,如目标终端至少需要上报其是否支持虚拟小区或目标TRP集合的配置,以便网络侧设备执行是否为所述目标终端配置所述虚拟小区或所述目标TRP集合的处理;或者所述能力信息还可以包括:虚拟小区或目标TRP集合请求信息, 虚拟小区或TRP集合释放消息等,则所述网络侧设备可以根据该请求信息,执行为所述目标终端配置所述虚拟小区或所述目标TRP集合的处理;以及根据所述释放消息,执行释放所述虚拟小区或所述目标TRP集合的处理等;除此之外,目标终端还可以向网络侧设备上报该目标终端偏好的虚拟小区对应的下行控制信道资源配置信息,如搜索空间/CORESET的时域和/或频域信息;该目标终端偏好的虚拟小区下行传输对应的带宽信息,如带宽信息包括带宽大小,带宽部分(BWP)的配置信息等,该目标终端偏好的发送与接收天线数目相关的信息,以便网络侧设备为所述目标终端配置更优的专属虚拟小区或专属目标TRP集合等,本公开实施例不以为限。
上述终端能力上报途径可以是,通过终端发送的AP-RS序列携带该能力信息;可选地,终端也可以通过物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,PUSCH)/物理上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel,PUCCH)向网络侧设备上报此能力信息,例如:终端与虚拟小区和固定小区(如现有的物理小区)同时保持双链接,或者终端与目标TRP集合和固定小区同时保持双连接等,本公开实施例不以为限。
该实施例中,考虑未来的6G网络可能与4G/5G网络并存,或者未来6G网络也可能兼容4G/5G网络的实体小区,而不只存在虚拟小区,例如存在终端与固定小区以及虚拟小区保持双链接,或者终端与目标TRP集合和固定小区同时保持双连接的情况。这样,在支持虚拟小区的终端向网络侧固定小区发送支持虚拟小区的能力信息,且发送虚拟小区请求信息,基站才会提供虚拟小区服务;并且终端反馈偏好的虚拟小区配置信息也有利于网络侧灵活配置虚拟小区,以及当终端完成数据传输例如从元宇宙退出后,可以向网络侧发送虚拟小区释放请求,以及时释放连接。
可选地,所述终端向网络侧设备发送第一信息,包括:
所述终端在接入信道发送机会上发送参考信号;其中,所述参考信号包含接入请求序列,所述接入信道发送机会由所述终端基于预设规则确定,或者所述接入信道发送机会由所述网络侧设备配置。
例如:目标终端可以向网络侧设备发送AP-RS,该AP-RS可以携带请求序列。具体的,终端可以根据预定规则,确定对应的接入信道发送机会;或 者终端接收并解析网络发送的广播消息承载的虚拟小区对应的接入信道发送机会的配置信息,来确定接入信道发送机会;目标终端在上述接入信道发送机会上发送AP-RS序列,该AP-RS序列中至少包含目标终端对应的接入请求序列,和/或,目标终端的唯一标识信息。可选地,接入请求序列与目标终端对应的虚拟小区相关联。可选地,所述接入序列可以是AP-RS序列的一部分。
网络侧检测到包含接入请求序列的AP-RS后,可以为请求接入的目标终端分配虚拟小区,如通过包含唯一标识信息的AP-RS向该目标终端发起进行数据传输过程,从而减少了目标终端的接入过程。
可选地,所述终端接收服务于所述终端的虚拟小区对应的至少一个TRP或目标TRP集合中的至少一个TRP发送的信号之前,还包括:
所述终端接收所述网络侧设备发送的第一配置信息和/或第二配置信息;其中,所述第一配置信息是:所述终端接入所述虚拟小区或所述目标TRP集合的接入信道机会的配置信息;所述第二配置信息是:所述终端向物理小区发起接入的物理随机接入信道机会的配置信息;
所述终端根据所述第一配置信息,在所述接入信道机会上发起所述虚拟小区或所述目标TRP集合的接入过程,和/或,所述终端根据所述第二配置信息,在所述物理随机接入信道机会上发起所述物理小区的接入过程。
例如:在6G***中也可以存在4G/5G***中类似的RRC空闲(Idle)/非激活(Inactive)/关联(connected)模式。当UE处于RRC Idle/Inactive mode时,目标终端可以检测小区PCI,并接收本小区传输的广播消息如寻呼消息与***消息;如广播消息为处于RRC空闲态的终端配置虚拟小区接入资源,例如***消息为终端配置虚拟小区接入信道机会和/或向本小区发起接入的PRACH机会。
需要指出的是,本小区的PRACH机会对应本小区的PCI,而虚拟小区的接入信道机会则对应一个虚拟小区,不配置PCI。
目标终端可以选择向虚拟小区或者接收广播消息的小区发起接入过程。具体的,如果目标终端向虚拟小区发起接入过程,即接收虚拟小区的数据传输,该数据与目标终端的AP-RS相关;如果目标终端向接收广播消息的小区发起接入过程,目标终端可以遵循传统的4步或者2步PRACH接入过程, 接收的数据与该小区PCI相关。
该实施例中,目标终端根据预定规则或由***消息携带虚拟小区的接入时机,当目标终端通过携带唯一标识信息的AP-RS接入信道后,虚拟小区可以通过该唯一标识信息作为UE ID进行数据传输,避免了基站向终端通知T-CNTI与C-RNTI的四步随机接入过程。
上述方案中,网络侧设备为目标终端配置其专属的虚拟小区或目标TRP集合,可以时间将固定小区传输变换为短距离通信,有利于提高接收信噪比,并且降低小区切换时延,支持低时延、高吞吐、传输。
