Description
本發明實施例係總體上有關於無線通訊,以及,更具體地,關於支援5G未授權頻譜新無線電(New Radio in unlicensed spectrum,NR-U)之UE能力信令之方法。 The embodiments of the present invention generally relate to wireless communication, and, more specifically, to support UE capability signaling methods of 5G unlicensed spectrum (New Radio in unlicensed spectrum, NR-U).
多年來,無線通訊網路成指數地增長。長期演進(Long-Term Evolution,LTE)系統由於簡化之網路架構而具有較高之峰值資料速率、較低之時延、改進之系統容量以及較低之運營成本。LTE系統(也稱為4G系統)還提供與舊之無線網路(例如,GSM,CDMA和通用行動電信系統(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System,UMTS))之無縫集成。在LTE系統中,演進之通用陸地無線電進接網路(evolved universal terrestrial radio access network,E-UTRAN)包括與稱為使用者設備(user equipment,UE)之複數個行動台進行通訊之複數個演進節點B(evolved Node-B,eNodeB或eNB)。第三代合作夥伴計畫(The 3rd generation partner project,3GPP)網路通常包括2G/3G/4G系統之融合。隨著網路設計之優化,基於各種標準之發展,已經形成了許多改進。下一代行動網路(Next Generation Mobile Network,NGMN)委員會已決定將未來之NGMN活動重點放在定義5G新無線電(new radio,NR)系統端到端需求上。 Over the years, wireless communication networks have grown exponentially. Long-Term Evolution (LTE) systems have higher peak data rates, lower latency, improved system capacity, and lower operating costs due to simplified network architecture. The LTE system (also known as the 4G system) also provides seamless integration with old wireless networks (for example, GSM, CDMA, and Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS)). In the LTE system, the evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) includes multiple evolutions that communicate with multiple mobile stations called user equipment (UE). Node B (evolved Node-B, eNodeB or eNB). The 3rd generation partner project (3GPP) network usually includes the integration of 2G/3G/4G systems. With the optimization of network design and the development of various standards, many improvements have been formed. The Next Generation Mobile Network (NGMN) committee has decided to focus future NGMN activities on defining the end-to-end requirements of the 5G new radio (NR) system.
在3GPP版本16(release 16)規範中,引入對在未授權(unlicensed)頻譜中運行之5G NR之支援(這種功能也稱為NR-U),從而為5G帶來了靈活利用未授權頻譜之多種選擇。NR-U支援授權輔助(license-assisted)之未授權頻譜使用和未授權頻譜獨立使用。具體地,獨立之NR-U使5G可以透過小型小區部署進行部署,並且可以在無需獲得授權頻譜情況下由任何垂直終端使用者運作。這項新功能將使5G NR可以利用5GHz全球頻段以及6GHz頻段,從而顯著增加5G之頻譜覆蓋範圍。 In the 3GPP version 16 (release 16) specification, support for 5G NR operating in unlicensed spectrum is introduced (this function is also called NR-U), which brings flexible use of unlicensed spectrum to 5G The many choices. NR-U supports license-assisted use of unlicensed spectrum and independent use of unlicensed spectrum. Specifically, independent NR-U enables 5G to be deployed through small cell deployment and can be operated by any vertical end user without obtaining a licensed spectrum. This new feature will allow 5G NR to utilize the 5GHz global frequency band and the 6GHz frequency band, thereby significantly increasing the spectrum coverage of 5G.
與授權頻譜不同,任何運營商只要遵守規定,就可以進接未授權頻段。由於運營商之間沒有協調,因此可能恰巧為由兩個不同運營商部署之兩個小區分配相同之物理小區ID。因此,網路可能需要UE之協助來獲取相鄰小區之系統資訊,以瞭解關於在未授權頻段上部署之小區(也稱為未授權小區)之更多資訊。然而,依據當前之3GPP規範和/或符合5G/NR之要求,網路無法得知UE是否支援獲取未授權小區之系統資訊之UE能力資訊。 Unlike licensed spectrum, any operator can access unlicensed frequency bands as long as they comply with regulations. Since there is no coordination between operators, it may happen that two cells deployed by two different operators are assigned the same physical cell ID. Therefore, the network may need the assistance of the UE to obtain system information of neighboring cells in order to learn more about cells deployed on unlicensed frequency bands (also referred to as unlicensed cells). However, according to the current 3GPP specifications and/or compliance with 5G/NR requirements, the network cannot know whether the UE supports obtaining UE capability information for the system information of unauthorized cells.
尋求一種解決方案。 Seek a solution.
提出一種支援NR-U的UE能力資訊信令方法。由UE向行動通訊網路傳遞與UE能力資訊,其中,該UE能力資訊包括該UE是否支援未授權小區之系統資訊獲取。UE從該行動通訊網路之服務小區接收配置,其中,該配置包括用於頻率上一個或複數個未授權小區之系統資訊獲取之資訊。UE獲取該頻率上該一個或複數個未授權小區之該系統資訊;以及向該服務小區報告所獲取之該系統資訊,或將所獲取之該系統資訊存儲在該UE中。 A method of UE capability information signaling supporting NR-U is proposed. The UE transmits the UE capability information to the mobile communication network, where the UE capability information includes whether the UE supports the acquisition of system information of unauthorized cells. The UE receives the configuration from the serving cell of the mobile communication network, where the configuration includes information obtained from the system information of one or more unauthorized cells on the frequency. The UE obtains the system information of the one or more unauthorized cells on the frequency; and reports the obtained system information to the serving cell, or stores the obtained system information in the UE.
在一個實施例中,執行向服務小區報告所獲取之系統資訊,以回應於服務小區請求UE進行CGI報告。在另一實施例中,執行在UE中存儲所獲 取之系統資訊,以回應於UE從服務小區到未授權小區之切換。在又一實施例中,執行在UE中存儲所獲取之系統資訊,以回應於UE接收到頻率上一個或複數個未授權小區之系統資訊已經變換之指示。 In one embodiment, reporting the acquired system information to the serving cell is performed in response to the serving cell requesting the UE to perform a CGI report. In another embodiment, it is executed to store the obtained data in the UE Get the system information in response to the UE's handover from the serving cell to the unauthorized cell. In another embodiment, storing the acquired system information in the UE is performed in response to the UE receiving an indication that the system information of one or more unauthorized cells on the frequency has been changed.
在一個示例中,按照每個頻帶設置並報告UE能力資訊。系統資訊包括MIB和SIB1中之至少一個。SIB1包括CGI,該CGI包括PLMN ID和PCI中之至少一個。UE能力資訊包括:UE是否支援在未授權小區上獲取MIB之第一指示符,UE是否支援在未授權小區上獲取SIB1之第二指示符,以及UE是否支援來自相鄰未授權小區之CGI資訊獲取之第三指示符。未授權小區係基於NR之未授權相鄰小區,以及服務小區係基於NR之授權小區。 In one example, the UE capability information is set and reported according to each frequency band. The system information includes at least one of MIB and SIB1. SIB1 includes CGI, and the CGI includes at least one of PLMN ID and PCI. UE capability information includes: whether the UE supports obtaining the first indicator of MIB on an unauthorized cell, whether the UE supports obtaining the second indicator of SIB1 on an unauthorized cell, and whether the UE supports CGI information from neighboring unauthorized cells The third indicator of acquisition. Unlicensed cells are unlicensed neighboring cells based on NR, and serving cells are authorized cells based on NR.
在另一示例中,UE從服務小區接收UE能力查詢訊息,並向服務小區發送UE能力資訊訊息,以回應於接收到UE能力查詢訊息,其中,透過UE能力資訊訊息來傳遞該UE能力資訊。 In another example, the UE receives a UE capability query message from the serving cell and sends a UE capability information message to the serving cell in response to receiving the UE capability query message, wherein the UE capability information is transmitted through the UE capability information message.
提出一種支援NR-U之UE能力資訊傳遞之UE。該UE包括發送器,用於向行動通訊網路傳遞UE能力資訊,其中,該UE能力資訊包括:該UE是否支援未授權小區之系統資訊獲取。該UE還包括接收器,用於從該行動通訊網路之服務小區接收配置,其中,該配置包括用於一頻率上一個或複數個未授權小區之系統資訊獲取之資訊。該接收器還用於獲取該頻率上該一個或複數個未授權小區之該系統資訊。該UE進一步包括系統資訊獲取電路,用於向該服務小區報告所獲取之該系統資訊,或將所獲取之該系統資訊存儲在該UE中。 A UE that supports NR-U UE capability information transmission is proposed. The UE includes a transmitter for transmitting UE capability information to the mobile communication network, where the UE capability information includes: whether the UE supports the acquisition of system information of unauthorized cells. The UE also includes a receiver for receiving a configuration from a serving cell of the mobile communication network, wherein the configuration includes information for obtaining system information of one or more unauthorized cells on a frequency. The receiver is also used to obtain the system information of the one or more unauthorized cells on the frequency. The UE further includes a system information acquisition circuit for reporting the acquired system information to the serving cell or storing the acquired system information in the UE.
本發明提出了支援NR-U之UE能力資訊傳遞之方法及其使用者設備,利用UE輔助,實現服務小區獲取未授權小區之該系統資訊以及對UE做合適之未授權小區之配置之有益效果。 The present invention provides a method for supporting NR-U UE capability information transmission and its user equipment.

多資訊,並且可以解決由不同運營商部署之兩個或更多個未授權小區恰巧被分配相同之PCI之問題。
Specifically, the system information includes at least one of a master information block (Master Information Block, MIB) and a system information block type 1 (System Information Block type 1, SIB1). In particular, SIB1 includes Cell Global Identity (CGI), where CGI includes at least one of Public Land Mobile Network Identity (PLMN ID) and Physical Cell Identity (PCI) . Using the CGI included in the reported system information, the
為了進一步闡明,在5G NR中,系統資訊可以分為三類,包括最小系統資訊(Minimum System Information,MSI)和其他系統資訊(Other System Information,OSI)。MSI包括MIB和包括SIB1之剩餘最小系統資訊(Remaining Minimum System Information,RMSI),而OSI包括其餘SIB,包括SIB2~SIB9。 To further clarify, in 5G NR, system information can be divided into three categories, including Minimum System Information (MSI) and Other System Information (OSI). MSI includes MIB and Remaining Minimum System Information (RMSI) including SIB1, while OSI includes other SIBs, including SIB2~SIB9.
在一個實施例中,UE 110可以經由無線電資源控制(radio resource control,RRC)連接重配置訊息從服務小區接收針對頻率上之一個或複數個相鄰未授權小區之系統資訊獲取之配置,並且請求UE 110依據所接收之配置進行CGI報告。

第3圖依據一個新穎方面示出了在UE 301和5G NR網路之間支援NR-U之UE能力信令之序列流。在步驟311中,UE 301從5G NR網路接收UE能力查詢(UECapabilityEnquiry)訊息。當5G NR網路需要(附加的)UE無線電進接能力資訊時,5G NR網路可以向處於RRC連接(RRC_CONNECTED)之UE發起該進程。5G NR網路僅應在進接層(Access Stratum,AS)安全性啟動之後才能獲取UE能力。在步驟321中,UE 301準備UE能力資訊,該UE能力資訊包括UE 301是否支援未授權小區之系統資訊獲取之資訊。具體地,UE能力資訊可以包括:UE 301是否支援在未授權小區上獲取MIB之第一指示符(例如,「mib-Acquisition-r16」IE);UE 301是否支援在未授權小區上獲取SIB1之第二指示符(例如,「sib1-Acquisition-r16」IE),以及UE 301是否支援從相鄰之未授權小區獲取CGI資訊之第三指示符(例如,「cgi-Acquisition-r16」IE)。在步驟331中,UE 301向5G NR網路發送包括UE能力資訊之
UECapabilityInformation訊息。

第4圖依據一個新穎方面示出了在UE 401和5G NR網路之間之用於CGI獲取和報告之序列流。在步驟411中,UE 401接收具有配置之RRC重新配置(RRCReconfiguration)訊息,該配置包括用於頻率上一個或複數個未授權小區之系統資訊獲取之資訊。在一個示例中,該配置可以包括在3GPP TS 38.331(v16.3.1)中規定之「reportCGI-RequestNR」IE或「reportCGI-RequestEUTRA」IE中。在步驟421中,UE 401向5G NR網路發送RRC重新配置完成(RRCReconfigurationComplete)訊息。在步驟431中,UE 401在頻率上獲取未授權小區之系統資訊。在步驟441中,UE 401向5G NR網路報告所獲取之系統資訊。

為了進一步闡明,本文所指之系統資訊獲取旨在讀取SIB1中攜帶之CGI資訊。為了讀取SIB1,UE首先需要讀取攜帶SIB1之物理下行鏈路控制通道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)配置(例如,CORESET # 0和Type0-PDCCH配置)之MIB。請注意,在NR-U中,傳輸受制於先聽後說(Listen Before Talk,LBT)結果。為了增加成功傳輸同步訊號/物理廣播通道(SS/PBCH)區塊之可能性,在NR-U中引入了發現叢發視窗之概念,以增加給定SS/PBCH區塊之傳輸機會。因此,UE需要監測發現叢發視窗內之複數個位置,以讀取給定SS/PBCH區塊之PBCH。與授權頻段相比,這會使UE之PBCH讀取流程變得複雜。 To further clarify, the system information acquisition referred to in this article aims to read the CGI information carried in SIB1. In order to read SIB1, the UE first needs to read the MIB of the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) configuration (for example, CORESET # 0 and Type 0-PDCCH configuration) carrying SIB1. Please note that in NR-U, transmission is subject to Listen Before Talk (LBT) results. In order to increase the possibility of successfully transmitting the synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block, the concept of the discovery burst window is introduced in NR-U to increase the transmission chance of a given SS/PBCH block. Therefore, the UE needs to monitor multiple locations within the burst window to read the PBCH of a given SS/PBCH block. Compared with the licensed frequency band, this will complicate the UE's PBCH reading process.
更具體地,發現叢發是指DL傳輸叢發,其包括被限制在視窗內並且與占空比(duty cycle)相關聯之訊號和/或通道之集合。發現叢發可為以下任意一種:(1)由eNB發起之傳輸,包括主同步訊號(Primary Synchronization Signal,PSS)、輔同步訊號(Secondary Synchronization Signal,SSS)和小區專用參考訊號(Cell-specific Reference Signal,CRS),以及可以包括非零功率CSI 參考訊號(CSI-RS);(2)由gNB發起之傳輸,包括由PSS、SSS、PBCH以及相關之解調參考訊號(De-Modulation Reference Signal,DM-RS)組成之至少一個SS/PBCH區塊,以及還可以包括控制資源集(CORESET),用於具有SIB1之排程PDSCH之PDCCH以及攜帶SIB1和/或非零功率CSI-RS之PDSCH。 More specifically, the discovery burst refers to a DL transmission burst, which includes a collection of signals and/or channels confined in a window and associated with a duty cycle. The discovery burst can be any of the following: (1) Transmission initiated by the eNB, including Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) and Cell-specific Reference Signal (Cell-specific Reference) Signal, CRS), and can include non-zero power CSI Reference signal (CSI-RS); (2) Transmission initiated by gNB, including at least one SS/PBCH area composed of PSS, SSS, PBCH and related demodulation reference signal (De-Modulation Reference Signal, DM-RS) Block, and may also include a control resource set (CORESET), used for PDCCH with SIB1 scheduled PDSCH and PDSCH with SIB1 and/or non-zero power CSI-RS.
當SS/PBCH區塊位於同步栅格(sync-raster)中時,UE以與版本15(R15)授權運作相同之方式確定CORESET # 0頻率位置。具體地,UE讀取SS/PBCH區塊中之PBCH,並使用MIB中攜帶之資訊(kSSB和SSB-CORESET0 PRB)來確定SS/PBCH區塊與CORESET # 0之間之頻率偏移。在一個實施例中,KSSB係SSB之子載波0和CRB之子載波0之間之載波數量偏移,以計算SSB之第一個子載波和CORESET#0(用於排程RMSI)之第一個子載波之間之子載波級別偏移。另一方面,當SS/PBCH區塊不在同步柵格中時,UE不得不以更複雜之方式確定CORESET # 0之頻率位置。具體地,對於給定頻率之偏離同步柵格之SSB,UE確定SSB在哪個LBT子帶內。接下來,UE針對該LBT子帶確定同步柵格上SSB之頻率。然後,UE從偏離同步柵格之SSB中讀取PBCH,並使用所指示之kSSB和SSB-CORESET0 PRB偏移來確定CORESET0之位置,就如同SSB在同步柵格點上發送一樣。 When the SS/PBCH block is located in the sync-raster, the UE determines the CORESET # 0 frequency position in the same way as the version 15 (R15) authorized operation. Specifically, the UE reads the PBCH in the SS/PBCH block, and uses the information carried in the MIB (k SSB and SSB-CORESET0 PRB) to determine the frequency offset between the SS/PBCH block and CORESET #0. In one embodiment, K SSB is the carrier number offset between subcarrier 0 of SSB and subcarrier 0 of CRB to calculate the first subcarrier of SSB and the first subcarrier of CORESET#0 (used to schedule RMSI) Sub-carrier level offset between sub-carriers. On the other hand, when the SS/PBCH block is not in the synchronization grid, the UE has to determine the frequency position of CORESET # 0 in a more complicated way. Specifically, for a given frequency SSB that deviates from the synchronization grid, the UE determines which LBT subband the SSB is in. Next, the UE determines the frequency of the SSB on the synchronization grid for the LBT subband. Then, the UE reads the PBCH from the SSB that deviates from the synchronization grid, and uses the indicated k SSB and SSB-CORESET0 PRB offset to determine the position of CORESET0, just like the SSB is sent on the synchronization grid point.
第5圖依據一個新穎方面示出了在UE 501和5G NR網路之間用於CGI獲取之序列流。在步驟511中,UE 501從授權頻帶上之服務小區(即,源小區)接收具有配置之RRCReconfiguration訊息,其中,該配置包括用於UE 501從服務小區到未授權頻帶上目標小區之切換之資訊。在步驟521中,UE 501對目標小區執行隨機進接進程。在步驟531中,UE 501在成功完成隨機進接進程後向目標小區發送RRC重新配置完成(RRCReconfigurationComplete)訊息。在步驟541中,UE 501獲取未授權頻帶上之目標小區之系統資訊。也就是說,由於系統資訊獲取係由切換資訊之配置觸發的,因此切換資訊之配置也可以解
釋為配置用系統資訊獲取。在步驟551中,UE 501本地存儲所獲取之系統資訊。

在一個示例中,系統資訊獲取至少包括SIB1讀取,從而使得UE 501可以從SIB1獲得CGI,並確定目標小區和源小區是否屬於同一PLMN。如果目標小區和源小區屬於相同之PLMN,則UE 501可以確定切換到目標小區。

在一個示例中,按照每個頻帶或每個頻帶組合設置並報告UE能力資訊。在一個示例中,系統資訊包括MIB和SIB1中之至少一個,並且SIB1包括CGI,該CGI包括PLMN ID和PCI中之至少一個。在一個示例中,UE能力資訊包括:UE是否支援在未授權小區上獲取MIB之第一指示符,UE是否支援在未授權小區上獲取SIB1之第二指示符,以及UE是否支援來自相鄰未授權小區之CGI資訊獲取之第三指示符。在一個示例中,未授權小區係基於NR之未授權相鄰小區,並且服務小區係基於NR之授權小區。在一個示例中,UE從服務小區接收UE能力查詢訊息,並向服務小區發送UE能力資訊訊息,以回應於接收到UE能力查詢訊息,其中,透過UE能力資訊訊息來傳遞該UE能力資訊。 In one example, the UE capability information is set and reported according to each frequency band or each frequency band combination. In an example, the system information includes at least one of MIB and SIB1, and SIB1 includes CGI, and the CGI includes at least one of PLMN ID and PCI. In one example, the UE capability information includes: whether the UE supports obtaining the first indicator of MIB on an unauthorized cell, whether the UE supports obtaining the second indicator of SIB1 on an unauthorized cell, and whether the UE supports the second indicator of SIB1 from a neighboring cell. The third indicator to authorize the acquisition of CGI information of the community. In one example, the unlicensed cell is an unlicensed neighboring cell based on NR, and the serving cell is an authorized cell based on NR. In one example, the UE receives a UE capability query message from the serving cell and sends a UE capability information message to the serving cell in response to receiving the UE capability query message, wherein the UE capability information is transmitted through the UE capability information message.
