Description
本申请要求于2018年08月22日提交中国专利局、申请号为201810960888.1、申请名称为“确定上行资源的方法与装置”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。
本申请涉及通信领域,并具体地,涉及一种确定上行资源的方法与装置。。
通常,一个小区由一个下行载波和一个上行载波组成。终端设备进行上行传输时,在一个上行载波上的资源中选择进行上行传输的资源。
有些场景下,终端设备具有多个上行载波用于上行传输。例如,在部署高频小区时,由于运行频段较高,且终端设备的发射功率较低,处于小区边缘区域的终端设备可以接收到网络设备的信号,但是网络设备无法接收到终端设备的信号。针对该问题,新空口(new radio,NR)系统引入补充上行(supplementary uplink,SUL)载波用于辅助终端设备进行上行传输。即在支持SUL载波的小区中,终端设备可以拥有两段频谱进行上行传输,一段频谱可以称为NR上行(NR uplink,NUL)载波,另一段频谱可以称为SUL载波。
目前,尚无在终端设备具有多个上行载波的情况下确定用于上行传输的资源的方案。例如,尚无在终端设备具有多个上行载波的情况下确定用于波束失败恢复(beam failure recovery,BFR)的资源的方案。
发明内容
本申请提供一种确定上行资源的方法与装置,可以使终端设备在具有多个上行载波的情况下,从多个上行载波上确定用于上行传输的资源,例如,确定用于BFR的,以提高BFR的效率。
第一方面,提供一种确定上行资源的方法,该方法由终端设备或用于终端设备的芯片执行。该方法包括:从多个上行载波上的资源中确定目标上行资源;使用目标上行资源,向网络设备发送波束失败恢复请求(beam failure recovery request,BFRQ)消息。
多个上行载波上配置有用于当前小区的波束失败恢复(BFR)的资源,即用于发送BFRQ消息的资源。当前小区表示发生波束失败的小区。用于BFR的上行资源可以为随机接入(random access channel,RACH)资源。
目标上行资源为多个上行载波中的一个上行载波上的用于BFR的资源。
本申请,在具有多个上行载波用于波束失败恢复的情况下,确定用于发送波束失败恢复请求消息的目标上行资源,以期望提高波束失败恢复的效率。
可选地,多个上行载波上的用于BFR的资源可以由网络设备预先配置。例如,网络 设备可以通过无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令,为终端设备预配置多个上行载波上的用于BFR的资源。网络设备还可以通过其它下行信令预配置多个上行载波上的用于BFR的资源,本申请对此不作限定。
可选地,多个上行载波均可以为低频载波,或均可以为高频载波,或其中一部分为高频载波,另一部分为低频载波。本文中提及的“高频”与“低频”是相对的概念,并无严格限制含义。例如,低频载波可以指工作在6GHz以下的载波,高频载波可以指工作在6GHz及以上的载波。再例如,在将来演进的技术中,高频载波与低频载波可能会有新的定义。
在当前小区包括主上行载波与补充上行载波的场景中,多个上行载波包括主上行载波与补充上行载波。例如,在小区支持SUL技术的场景中,主上行载波为NUL载波,补充上行载波为SUL载波。
在载波聚合的场景中,当前小区为主小区,在允许通过辅小区的上行载波用于主小区的BFR的情况下,多个上行载波可以包括主小区的上行载波与辅小区的上行载波。如果主小区支持SUL技术,多个上行载波可以包括主小区的NUL载波与SUL载波,以及辅小区的上行载波。如果辅小区也支持SUL技术,多个上行载波可以包括主小区的NUL载波与SUL载波,以及辅小区的NUL载波与SUL载波。
多个上行载波上可以配置有非竞争资源和/或竞争资源,其中,用于BFR的非竞争资源可以为非竞争随机接入资源(contention-free RACH resource),用于BFR的竞争资源可以为竞争随机接入资源(contention-based RACH resource)。
可选地,多个上行载波上还可以配置用于发送上行调度请求(scheduling request,SR)的资源、预配置的半静态或免授权上行资源、物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)资源或其它上行资源。多个上行载波上还可以配置有除非竞争随机接入资源之外的其它非竞争资源,和/或还可以配置有除竞争接入资源之外的其它竞争资源。
在本申请中,从多个上行载波上的资源中确定目标上行资源,可以有多种实现方式。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,从多个上行载波上的资源中确定目标上行资源,包括:当多个上行载波中至少一个上行载波上具有非竞争资源时,将至少一个上行载波中一个上行载波Y上的非竞争资源确定为目标上行资源。
在当前小区支持SUL技术的场景中,上行载波Y可以是NUL载波,也可以是SUL载波。
在载波聚合场景中,上行载波Y可以是主小区的一个上行载波,也可以是辅小区的一个上行载波。
在本实现方式中,优先选择非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源。在从多个上行载波上选择目标上行资源的过程中,优先判断多个上行载波上是否有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,若是,将其中一个上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源,若否,选择一个上行载波上的竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源。
应理解,终端设备使用非竞争随机接入资源发起随机接入,不会发生冲突(collision),也不需要冲突解决。因此,相对于使用竞争随机接入资源发起随机接入,使用非竞争随机接入资源发起随机接入,终端设备拥有更小的接入时延以及更高的接入成功率。因此,本申请通过从多个上行载波中优先选择非竞争随机接入资源发送波束失败恢复请求消息,可以提高波束失败恢复的效率与成功率。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,多个上行载波包括当前小区的 主上行载波与补充上行载波;将至少一个上行载波中一个上行载波上的非竞争资源确定为目标上行资源,包括:当至少一个上行载波中包括主上行载波时,将主上行载波上的非竞争资源确定为目标上行资源。
在本实现方式中,优先选择主上行载波上的非竞争随机资源作为目标上行资源。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,多个上行载波包括NUL载波与SUL载波;从多个上行载波中确定目标上行资源,包括:优先选择NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源。
在从多个上行载波中选择目标上行资源的过程中,可以优先判断NUL载波上是否有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,若有,将NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源,若否,使用NUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源或SUL载波上的随机接入资源作为目标上行资源。
进一步地,如果NUL载波上没有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,优先判断SUL载波上是否具有非竞争随机接入资源,若有,将SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源,若否,使用SUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源或NUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源。
应理解,由于NUL载波可能工作在高频频段,可以使用协议定义的更大的子载波间隔传输,相应的每个符号时间(绝对时间)更短,所以相比于SUL载波,NUL载波上的随机接入资源的配置可以更加密集,可以使得终端设备在相对较短的时间内使用资源的机会较多,因此,优先选择NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源,可以减少传输时延。
因此,在本申请中,在终端设备具有多个上行载波的情况下,优先选择多个上行载波中NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息,可以减少BFR的时延,从而可以有效提高BFR的效率。
此外,NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源总数较多,可以为下行的窄波束(例如CSI-RS)配置相关联的非竞争随机接入资源,这样使得,终端设备在完成BFR后,可以不用再重新进行波束扫描和波束训练,从而使得终端设备可以经历相对更短的数据传输恢复时延。因此,优先选择NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源,可以减少BFR的时延,从而可以提高BFR的效率。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,多个上行载波包括当前小区的主上行载波与补充上行载波;将至少一个上行载波中一个上行载波上的非竞争资源确定为目标上行资源,包括:当至少一个上行载波中包括补充上行载波时,将补充上行载波上的非竞争资源确定为目标上行资源。
在本实现方式中,优先选择补充上行载波上的非竞争随机资源作为目标上行资源。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,多个上行载波包括NUL载波与SUL载波;从多个上行载波中确定目标上行资源,包括:优先选择SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源。
在从多个上行载波中选择目标上行资源的过程中,可以优先判断SUL载波上是否有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,若有,将SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源,若否,使用SUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源或NUL载波上的随机接入资源作为目标上行资源。
作为一种实现方式,如果SUL载波上没有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,优先判断SUL 载波上是否具有竞争随机接入资源,若有,将SUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源,若否,使用NUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源(非竞争随机接入资源优先)作为目标上行资源。
作为另一种实现方式,如果SUL载波上没有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,优先判断NUL载波上是否具有非竞争随机接入资源,若有,将NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源,若否,使用SUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源或NUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源。
换句话说,优先使用多个上行载波中频段/中心频点相对较低的上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息。
应理解,终端设备发送功率有限,在终端设备使用相同功率发送信号时,低频信号在自由空间中的路径损耗比高频信号小。相对于NUL载波,SUL载波工作在较低频段,SUL载波相比于NUL载波具有更好的上行覆盖。因此,优先使用SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息,可以提高BFRQ消息的传输可靠性,从而可以提高BFR的成功概率。例如,在高频系统波束失败场景中,可以优先使用SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息。
需要说明的是,本申请提出的优先选择多个上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源的方案,并非绝对限制多个上行载波上的所有非竞争随机接入资源的使用优先级均高于多个上行载波上的所有竞争随机接入资源。例如,在优先选择SUL载波上的非竞争随机资源作为目标上行资源的方案中,NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源的使用优先级可以低于SUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源。
因此,在本申请中,在终端设备具有多个上行载波的情况下,优先选择多个上行载波中SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息。应理解,终端设备发送功率有限,在终端设备使用相同功率发送信号时,低频信号在自由空间中的路径损耗比高频信号小。相对于NUL载波,SUL载波工作在较低频段,SUL载波相比于NUL载波具有更好的上行覆盖。因此,优先使用SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息,可以提高BFRQ消息的传输可靠性,从而可以提高BFR的成功概率
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,多个上行载波中包括NUL载波与SUL载波;从多个上行载波中选择目标上行资源,包括:在检测到当前小区的候选波束的质量超过门限的情况下,优先选择NUL载波上的非竞争随机资源作为目标上行资源;在检测到当前小区的候选波束的质量低于门限的情况下,优先选择SUL载波上的非竞争随机资源作为目标上行资源。
终端设备通过测量可以获取候选波束的质量。
候选波束的质量可以是该候选波束的参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP)或参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality,RSRQ)。
用于衡量候选波束的质量的门限可以是协议规定的。或者,用于衡量候选波束的质量的门限可以是网络设备配置的。例如,网络设备可以通过RRC信令或其它下行信令配置该门限。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,从多个上行载波上的资源中确定目标上行资源,包括:当多个上行载波上无可用的非竞争资源时,将多个上行载波中的一个上行载波上的竞争资源确定为目标上行资源。
可选地,在本实现方式中,将多个上行载波中的一个上行载波上的竞争资源确定为目标上行资源,包括:将补充上行载波上的竞争资源确定为目标上行资源。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,多个上行载波包括当前主小区的主上行载波与补充上行载波,以及辅小区的上行载波;从多个上行载波上的资源中确定目标上行资源,包括:当主小区的主上行载波上无可用的非竞争资源时,将辅小区的上行载波上的非竞争资源确定为目标上行资源;或当主小区的主上行载波与补充上行载波均无可用的资源时,将辅小区的上行载波上的资源确定为目标上行资源。
作为一种实现方式,在从多个上行载波中选择目标上行资源的过程中,优先判断主小区的NUL载波上是否有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,若是,将NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源,若否,判断辅小区的上行载波上是否具有可用的非竞争随机接入资源;如果辅小区的上行载波上具有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,选择辅小区的上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源,否则,判断主小区的SUL载波上是否具有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,若是,使用主小区的SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源;如果主小区与辅小区的上行载波上均没有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,使用主小区或辅小区的一个上行载波上的竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源。
作为一种实现方式,在从多个上行载波中选择目标上行资源的过程中,优先判断主小区的NUL载波上是否有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,若是,将NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源,若否,判断主小区的SUL载波上是否具有可用的非竞争随机接入资源;如果主小区的SUL载波上具有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,将其作为目标上行资源,否则,判断辅小区的上行载波上是否具有可用的非竞争随机接入资源;如果辅小区的上行载波上具有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,将其作为目标上行资源;如果主小区与辅小区的上行载波上均没有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,使用主小区或辅小区的一个上行载波上的竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,从多个上行载波上确定目标上行资源,包括:根据预设优先级信息,从多个上行载波中选择目标上行载波,预设优先级信息用于指示多个上行载波上的资源使用先后顺序;在目标上行载波上确定目标上行资源。
例如,该资源使用优先级为:NUL载波的非竞争随机接入资源>SUL载波的非竞争随机接入资源>SUL载波的竞争随机接入资源>NUL载波的竞争随机接入资源。
再例如,该资源使用优先级为:SUL载波的非竞争随机接入资源>SUL载波的竞争随机接入资源>NUL载波的非竞争随机接入资源>NUL载波的竞争随机接入资源。或者,该资源使用优先级为:SUL载波的非竞争随机接入资源>NUL载波的非竞争随机接入资源>SUL载波的竞争随机接入资源>NUL载波的竞争随机接入资源。
再例如,在载波聚合场景中,资源使用优先级为:主小区的NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源>主小区的SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源>辅小区的上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源>主小区的SUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源>主小区的NUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源>辅小区的上行载波上的竞争随机接入资源。或者,资源使用优先级为:主小区的SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源>主小区的NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源>辅小区的上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源>主小区的SUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源>主小区的NUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源>辅小区的上行载波上的竞争随机接入资源。
可选地,该资源使用优先级可以指示多个上行资源的使用优先级顺序,还可以直接指示优先级最高的资源类型。
可选地,该资源使用优先级可以是协议规定的。
可选地,该资源使用优先级可以是网络设备预配置的。例如,网络设备可以通过RRC信令或其它下行信令为终端设备配置该资源使用优先级。
例如,在存在多种上行资源的时候,网络设备可以配置资源的使用优先级顺序,或者可以直接指示优先级最高的资源类型。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,在载波聚合场景下,根据主小区的候选波束的质量与辅小区的候选波束的质量,选择主小区的上行载波上的资源或辅小区的上行载波上的资源作为目标上行资源。
在本实现方式中,通过比较主小区的候选波束的质量与辅小区的候选波束的质量,确定优先使用主小区的上行载波上的资源或优先使用辅小区的上行载波上的资源。
候选波束的质量可以为RSRP或RSRQ。
可选地,在本实现方式中,当主小区的候选波束的质量与预设偏移量之和,大于或等于辅小区的候选波束的质量时,选择主小区的上行载波上的资源作为目标上行资源,即优先使用主小区的上行载波上的资源。当主小区的候选波束的质量与预设偏移量之和,小于辅小区的候选波束的质量时,选择主小区的上行载波上的资源作为目标上行资源,即优先使用辅小区的上行载波上的资源。
该预设偏移量可以是网络设备预配置的,例如,网络设备通过RRC信令或其它下行信令预配置该预设偏移量。
该预设偏移量还可以是协议规定的。
应理解,从多个上行载波中优先选择候选波束的质量较高的小区中的上行载波的资源作为用于BFR的目标上行资源,有助于提高BFR的效率。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,从多个上行载波上的资源中确定目标上行资源,包括:分别根据多个上行载波上的资源关联的波束属性,从多个上行载波中选择目标上行载波;将目标上行载波上的资源确定为目标上行资源。
可选地,本实现方式应用于多个上行载波中的每个上行载波均只具有竞争资源,或均只具有非竞争资源的场景。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,多个上行载波包括第一载波与第二载波,第一载波上的资源关联信道状态信息参考信号CSI-RS,第二载波上的资源关联同步信号块SSB。分别根据多个上行载波上的资源关联的波束属性,从多个上行载波中选择目标上行载,包括:将第一载波确定为目标上行载波。
应理解,通常认为SSB是一个宽波束,CSI-RS是窄波束,例如多个CSI-RS可以认为是准同位(quasi-co-location,QCL)到一个SSB的。如果终端设备波束失败恢复到一个窄波束,可以增大波束赋型增益,从而可以支持更高的数据速率。
因此,本申请实施例在多个上行载波中,通过优先选择资源关联到CSI-RS的上行载波上的资源进行BFR,可以使得恢复到的波束获得更高的天线增益(波束赋型增益),从而可以支持更高的数据速率。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,多个上行载波包括第三载波与第四载波,第三载波上的资源关联的候选波束的数量小于或等于第四载波上的资源所关联 的候选波束的数量;分别根据多个上行载波上的资源关联的波束属性,从多个上行载波中选择目标上行载,包括:将第三载波确定为目标上行载波。
应理解,通过优先选择资源关联的候选波束的数量较少的上行载波上的资源进行BFR,可以为节约网络设备的资源开销,也有利于后续的波束管理。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,NUL载波上配置有波束失败恢复定时器(beam failure recovery timer)。如果该波束失败恢复定时器如果超时,NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源不可用。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,SUL载波上配置有波束失败恢复定时器(beam failure recovery timer)。如果该波束失败恢复定时器如果超时,则SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源不可用。
NUL载波的波束失败恢复定时器与SUL载波的波束失败恢复定时器可以由网络设备配置。例如,网络设备通过RRC信令或其它信令配置NUL载波上的波束失败恢复定时器以及SUL载波上的波束失败恢复定时器。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,目标上行资源为竞争资源;该方法还包括:从网络设备接收上行载波与下行载波的关联关系;使用目标上行资源所在的上行载波所关联的下行载波,接收网络设备发送的波束恢复响应消息。
将第一方面提供的方法中的波束失败恢复请求(BFRQ)消息替换为上行调度请求消息,将波束失败恢复(BFR)替换为上行调度,这样的方案可以应用于在多个上行载波中选择用于上行调度的资源。
将第一方面提供的方法中的波束失败恢复请求(BFRQ)消息替换为上行数据,将波束失败恢复(BFR)替换为上行数据传输,这样的方案可以应用于在多个上行载波中选择用于上行数据传输的资源。
第二方面,提供一种确定上行资源的方法,该方法例如由网络设备或用于网络设备的芯片执行。该方法包:向终端设备发送配置信息,该配置信息中包括用于指示终端设备从多个上行载波上选择用于BFR的目标上行资源的信息;接收终端设备利用目标上行资源发送的BFRQ消息。

结合第二方面,在第二方面的一种可能的实现方式中,该方法还包括:网络设备为终端设备配置多个上行载波上的用于BFR的资源。
例如,网络设备可以通过无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令,为终端设备预配置多个上行载波上的用于BFR的资源。网络设备还可以通过其它下行信令预配置多个上行载波上的用于BFR的资源,本申请对此不作限定。
结合第二方面,在第二方面的一种可能的实现方式中,向终端设备发送的配置信息中包括资源使用优先级,资源使用优先级用于指示多个上行载波上资源使用的先后顺序。
例如,该资源使用优先级为:NUL载波的非竞争随机接入资源>SUL载波的非竞争随机接入资源>SUL载波的竞争随机接入资源>NUL载波的竞争随机接入资源。
再例如,该资源使用优先级为:SUL载波的非竞争随机接入资源>SUL载波的竞争 随机接入资源>NUL载波的非竞争随机接入资源>NUL载波的竞争随机接入资源。或者,该资源使用优先级为:SUL载波的非竞争随机接入资源>NUL载波的非竞争随机接入资源>SUL载波的竞争随机接入资源>NUL载波的竞争随机接入资源。
再例如,在载波聚合场景中,资源使用优先级为:主小区的NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源>主小区的SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源>辅小区的上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源>主小区的SUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源>主小区的NUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源>辅小区的上行载波上的竞争随机接入资源。或者,资源使用优先级为:主小区的SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源>主小区的NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源>辅小区的上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源>主小区的SUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源>主小区的NUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源>辅小区的上行载波上的竞争随机接入资源。
结合第二方面,在第二方面的一种可能的实现方式中,向终端设备发送的配置信息中包括NUL载波上的波束失败恢复定时器的配置信息,如果该波束失败恢复定时器如果超时,NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源不可用。

下面将结合附图,对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如,第五代(5th generation,5G)系统、新无线(new radio,NR)、机器与机器通信(machine to machine,M2M)系统、或者未来演进的其它通信系统等,本申请实施例对此并不限定。
本申请实施例中的终端设备可以指用户设备(user equipment,UE)、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。终端设备还可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(session initiation protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)站、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、或者未来演进的公用陆地移动通信网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)中的终端设备等,本申请实施例对此并不限定。
本申请实施例中的网络设备可以是用于与终端设备通信的设备,可以是任意一种具有无线收发功能的设备或可设置于该设备内的芯片。网络设备可以为基站,基站可以用于与 一个或多个终端设备进行通信,也可以用于与一个或多个具有部分终端设备功能的基站进行通信(例如宏基站与微基站)。网络设备可以是5G系统、NR系统、M2M系统、或者未来演进的其它通信系统中的基站。另外,网络设备也可以为接入点(access point,AP)、传输节点(transport point,TRP)、中心单元(central unit,CU)或其他网络实体,并且可以包括以上网络实体的功能中的一些或所有功能,本申请实施例并不限定。
本申请实施例提供的方案可以应用于终端设备具有多个上行载波的场景。如图1所示,终端设备可以通过上行载波1和上行载波2与网络设备进行通信。应理解,图1仅为示例而非限定,例如,终端设备可以具有2个以上的上行载波。
终端设备具有多个上行载波的场景可以有多种。
场景一,支持补充上行载波(supplementary uplink carrier,SUL carrier)配置的小区。
NR系统支持的工作频段中可用于上行传输的载波频段可以称为NR上行载波(NR uplink carrier,NUL carrier)(下文可称为NUL载波)。在部署高频小区时,由于小区的运行频段较高且终端设备的发射功率较低,处于小区边缘区域的终端设备可以接收到网络设备的信号,但是网络设备可能无法接收到终端设备的信号。针对该问题,NR系统引入补充上行载波(supplementary uplink carrier,SUL carrier)(下文简称为SUL载波)用于辅助终端设备进行上行传输。即在支持SUL载波配置的小区中,有两个上行载波,即NUL载波与SUL载波,可以用于终端设备进行上行传输。
NUL载波的频率高于SUL载波的频率。NUL载波可以为高频载波,例如3GPP标准中的FR1频段或FR2频段。SUL载波可以为低频载波,例如为长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)频段。
作为示例,表1示出SUL载波的频段(表1中所示的频段n80~n86),表2示出NUL载波的频段n257~n261。
表1
表2
需要说明的是,本文提及“高频”与“低频”是相对的概念,并无严格限制含义。
例如,低频载波可以指工作在6GHz以下的载波,高频载波可以指工作在6GHz及以上的载波。
场景二,载波聚合的场景。终端设备可以采用主小区的上行载波和辅小区的上行载波进行上行传输。
主小区可以支持SUL配置,即主小区具有NUL载波与SUL载波;或者,辅小区也可以支持SUL配置,即辅小区具有NUL载波与SUL载波。即终端设备具有的多个上行载波可以包括主小区的NUL载波与SUL载波,以及辅小区的上行载波(例如,辅小区的NUL载波与SUL载波)。
主小区可以为主小区(primary cell,PCell)或主辅小区(primary secondary cell,PSCell)。辅小区可以记为SCell(secondary cell)。
多个上行载波上配置有用于终端设备进行上行传输的上行资源。
例如,当终端设备要向网络设备上报波束失败请求(beam failure recovery request,BFRQ)消息,多个上行载波上配置有用于发送BFRQ消息的上行资源,例如,随机接入信道(random access channel,RACH)资源。
再例如,当终端设备要向网络设备发送上行调度请求(scheduling request,SR)消息时,多个上行载波上配置有用于上行调度请求的资源。
再例如,当终端设备有上行数据向网络设备上报时,多个上行载波上配置有用于传输上行数据的上行资源。
多个上行载波上还可以配置物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)等其它上行资源。
本申请提出一种,在终端设备具有多个上行载波的情形下,从多个上行载波上的资源中确定用于上行传输的目标上行资源的方案。
当终端设备要向网络设备发送上行调度请求消息时,可以采用本申请的方案,从多个上行载波中确定用于传输上行调度请求消息的目标上行资源。
当终端设备要向网络设备发送BFRQ消息时,可以采用本申请的方案,从多个上行载波中确定用于传输波束失败恢复请求的目标上行资源。
如果终端设备有上行数据到达时,可以采用本申请的方案,从多个上行载波中确定用于传输上行数据的目标上行资源。
为了便于理解与描述,下文以本申请提供的方案应用于终端设备向网络设备发送BFRQ消息为例进行描述。但本申请并非限定于此。
通过将下文实施例中的波束失败恢复请求(BFRQ)消息替换为上行调度请求消息,并将波束失败恢复(BFR)替换为上行调度,可以实现多个上行载波中确定用于传输上行调度请求消息的目标上行资源。
通过将下文实施例中的波束失败恢复请求(BFRQ)消息替换为上行数据,并将波束失败恢复(BFR)替换为上行数据传输,可以实现从多个上行载波中确定用于传输上行数据的目标上行资源。
为了更好地理解本申请实施例,下文结合图2示意性介绍一下波束失败恢复相关概念。
如图2所示,波束失败恢复的流程包括如下四部分。
一、波束失败检测
终端设备基于波束失败检测参考信号(beam failure detection reference signal,BFD RS),即图2中所示的服务波束q0,进行波束失败检测。当终端设备检测到BFD RS的质量低于门限,确定波束失败。
二、新可用波束发现
终端设备从候选波束(candidate beam)集合中选择波束质量高于门限的候选波束;从选出的候选波束中选择一个作为新可用波束(可以记为q_new)。
候选波束集合可以由网络设备提前配置给终端设备。
三、波束失败恢复请求(beam failure recovery request,BFRQ)消息的发送
终端设备在新可用波束(q_new)关联的物理随机接入信道(physical random access channel,PRACH)资源上使用新可用波束向网络设备发送BFRQ消息。
候选波束集合(包括新可用波束)中各个候选波束关联的PRACH资源可以由网络设备提前配置给终端设备。
四、接收网络设备对BFRQ消息的响应
例如,在发送BFRQ消息后的第4个时隙(slot)开始,终端设备使用新可用波束(q_new)监听专用的控制信道资源集合(control resource set,CORESET)和其对应的搜索空间(search space),以期获得网络设备对BFRQ消息的响应。例如,该响应为下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)。
应理解,上文结合图2的描述仅为示例而非限定。
图3为本申请实施例提供的确定上行资源的方法的示意性流程图。该方法可以由终端设备实现,或者也可以由可用于终端设备的芯片实现。下文以执行主体为终端设备为例进行描述。如图3所示,该方法包括如下步骤。
S310,终端设备从多个上行载波上的资源中确定目标上行资源。
多个上行载波上配置有用于当前小区的波束失败恢复(BFR)的资源,即用于发送波束失败恢复请求(BFRQ)消息的资源。当前小区表示发生波束失败的小区。目标上行资源为多个上行载波中的一个上行载波上的用于BFR的资源。
多个上行载波上的用于BFR的资源可以由网络设备预先配置。例如,网络设备可以通过无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令,为终端设备预配置多个上行载波上的用于BFR的资源。网络设备还可以通过其它下行信令预配置多个上行载波上的用于BFR的资源,本申请对此不作限定。
用于BFR的上行资源可以为随机接入(random access channel,RACH)资源。
S320,终端设备使用目标上行资源,向网络设备发送BFRQ消息。
假设目标上行资源为上行波束X上的资源,在S320中,终端设备在目标上行资源上使用上行波束X向网络设备发送BFRQ消息。
在本申请实施例中,在具有多个上行载波用于波束失败恢复的情况下,确定用于发送波束失败恢复请求消息的目标上行资源,以期望提高波束失败恢复的效率。
多个上行载波均可以为低频载波,或均可以为高频载波,或其中一部分为高频载波,另一部分为低频载波。本文中提及的“高频”与“低频”是相对的概念,并无严格限制含义。例如,低频载波可以指工作在6GHz以下的载波,高频载波可以指工作在6GHz及以上的载波。再例如,在将来演进的技术中,高频载波与低频载波可能会有新的定义。
在当前小区包括主上行载波与补充上行载波的场景中,多个上行载波包括主上行载波与补充上行载波。主上行载波可以是当前小区主要使用的上行载波,补充上行载波可以作为主上行载波的补充,例如补充上行载波用于在主上行载波传输失败时使用。
主上行载波与补充上行载波可以均为高频载波,或者均为低频载波,又或者主上行载波为高频载波,补充上行载波为低频载波。例如,在高频小区中,主上行载波为高频载波,补充上行载波为低频载波。
应理解,主上行载波与补充上行载波仅为了区分而非限定。例如,还可以通过其它名称来区分同一个小区中的多个不同上行载波。本申请对此不作限定。
例如,当前小区包括主上行载波与补充上行载波的场景可以为前文描述的SUL场景,其中,NUL载波对应于主上行载波,SUL载波对应于补充上行载波。
为了便于描述与理解,下文中以主上行载波为NUL载波,补充下行载波为SUL载波为例进行描述。
在载波聚合的场景中,当前小区为主小区,在允许通过辅小区的上行载波用于主小区的BFR的情况下,多个上行载波可以包括主小区的上行载波与辅小区的上行载波。如果主小区支持SUL技术,多个上行载波可以包括主小区的NUL载波与SUL载波,以及辅小区的上行载波。如果辅小区也支持SUL技术,多个上行载波可以包括主小区的NUL载波与SUL载波,以及辅小区的NUL载波与SUL载波。
多个上行载波上可以配置有非竞争资源和/或竞争资源,其中,用于BFR的非竞争资源可以为非竞争随机接入资源(contention-free RACH resource),用于BFR的竞争资源可 以为竞争随机接入资源(contention-based RACH resource)。
可选地,多个上行载波上还可以配置有上行调度(RS)资源、PUCCH资源或其它上行资源。多个上行载波上还可以配置有除非竞争随机接入资源之外的其它非竞争资源,和/或还可以配置有除竞争接入资源之外的其它竞争资源。
下文实施例中,以非竞争资源为非竞争随机接入资源,以竞争资源为竞争随机接入资源为例进行描述。
在本申请中,从多个上行载波上的资源中确定用于发送BFRQ消息的目标上行资源,可以有多种实现方式。
例如,可以优先选择多个上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源为目标上行资源。再例如,可以优先选择多个上行载波中NUL载波上的资源(非竞争随机接入资源优先)作为目标上行资源。再例如,可以优先选择多个上行载波中SUL载波上的资源(非竞争随机接入资源优先)作为目标资源。再例如,根据多个上行载波上的资源分别关联的波束属性,从多个上行载波中选择目标上行载波,从目标上行载波上的资源(优先非竞争随机接入资源)中确定目标上行资源。再例如,在载波聚合场景下,根据主小区与辅小区的候选波束质量,从多个上行载波中选择一个小区(主小区或辅小区)的上行载波,在所选小区的上行载波上的资源(非竞争随机接入资源优先)中选择目标上行资源。
需要说明的是,上述的从多个上行载波上的资源中确定用于发送BFRQ消息的目标上行资源的每种实现方式,可以独立使用,也可以基于内在逻辑组合使用。
下文将描述从多个上行载波上的资源确定目标上行资源的多种实现方式。
优先选择非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源的方案。
在从多个上行载波上选择目标上行资源的过程中,优先判断多个上行载波上是否有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,若是,将其中一个上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源,若否,选择一个上行载波上的竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源。
例如,当多个上行载波中的至少一个上行载波具有非竞争随机接入资源时,将至少一个上行载波中的一个上行载波(记为上行载波Y)上的非竞争随机接入资源确定为目标上行资源。
在当前小区支持SUL技术的场景中,上行载波Y可以是NUL载波,也可以是SUL载波。
在载波聚合场景中,上行载波Y可以是主小区的一个上行载波,也可以是辅小区的一个上行载波。
应理解,终端设备使用非竞争随机接入资源发起随机接入,不会发生冲突(collision),也不需要冲突解决。因此,相对于使用竞争随机接入资源发起随机接入,使用非竞争随机接入资源发起随机接入,终端设备拥有更小的接入时延以及更高的接入成功率。因此,本申请通过从多个上行载波中优先选择非竞争随机接入资源发送波束失败恢复请求消息,可以提高波束失败恢复的效率与成功率。
可选地,当多个上行载波中的至少一个上行载波具有非竞争随机接入资源时,可以从至少一个上行载波中随机选择一个上行载波,将所选上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源。
可选地,当多个上行载波中的至少一个上行载波具有非竞争随机接入资源时,可以从至少一个上行载波中优先选择某个上行载波,将所选上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作 为目标上行资源。
例如,多个上行载波包括NUL载波与SUL载波。可以优先从至少一个上行载波中选择NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源,或者,优先从至少一个上行载波中选择SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源。
下文将分别描述优先选择NUL载波上的非竞争随机资源的方案,与优先选择SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源的方案。
优先选择NUL载波上的非竞争随机资源作为目标上行资源的方案。
在从多个上行载波中选择目标上行资源的过程中,优先判断NUL载波上是否有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,若有,将NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源,即使用NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息。
应理解,由于NUL载波可能工作在高频频段,可以使用协议定义的更大的子载波间隔传输,相应的每个符号时间(绝对时间)更短,所以相比于SUL载波,NUL载波上的随机接入资源的配置可以更加密集,可以使得终端设备在相对较短的时间内使用资源的机会较多,可以有效减少传输时延。
因此,在本申请中,在终端设备具有多个上行载波的情况下,优先选择多个上行载波中NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息,可以减少BFR的时延,从而可以有效提高BFR的效率。
在优先选择NUL载波上的非竞争随机资源作为目标上行资源的过程中,如果NUL载波上没有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,或者利用NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息失败,判断其它载波上是否有非竞争随机接入资源,若有,使用其发送BFRQ消息,若无,使用多个上行载波上的竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息。
例如,当NUL载波上没有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,或者利用NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息失败时,判断SUL载波上是否具有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,若SUL载波上有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,使用SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息;如果NUL载波与SUL载波上均没有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,或者,使用非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息均失败,则可以考虑使用多个上行载波上的竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息。
可选地,在一些实施例中,NUL载波上配置有波束失败恢复定时器(beam failure recovery timer),该波束失败恢复定时器如果超时,则NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源不可用。
上面实施例中提到的NUL载波上没有可用的非竞争随机接入资源指的是,NUL载波上未配置非竞争随机接入资源,或者NUL载波上的波束失败恢复定时器超时。
可选地,在一些实施例中,SUL载波上配置有波束失败恢复定时器(beam failure recovery timer),该波束失败恢复定时器如果超时,则SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源不可用。
上面实施例中提到的SUL载波上没有可用的非竞争随机接入资源指的是,SUL载波上未配置非竞争随机接入资源,或者NUL载波上的波束失败恢复定时器超时。
NUL载波的波束失败恢复定时器与SUL载波的波束失败恢复定时器可以由网络设备配置。
例如,网络设备可以通过如下配置信息(//后面为注释),定义NUL载波的波束失败 恢复定时器与SUL载波的波束失败恢复定时器。如下的配置信息可以携带在RRC信令或其它下行信令中。
beamFailureRecoveryTimer-CFRA-NUL//为NUL载波配置波束失败恢复定时器。
Timer for beam failure recovery timer on NUL.Upon expiration of the timer the UE does not use CFRA on NUL for BFR.//配置NUL载波的波束失败恢复定时器的功能。
beamFailureRecoveryTimer-CFRA-SUL//为SUL载波配置波束失败恢复定时器。
Timer for beam failure recovery timer on SUL.Upon expiration of the timer the UE does not use CFRA on SUL for BFR.//配置SUL载波的波束失败恢复定时器的功能。
再例如,网络设备可以通过如下配置信息(//后面为注释),定义NUL载波的波束失败恢复定时器的使用方法以及SUL载波的波束失败恢复定时器的使用方法。如下的配置信息可以携带在RRC信令或其它下行信令中。
XXXX condition,the MAC entity shall:
1>if the contention-free Random Access Preamble for beam failure recovery request was configured on NUL:
2>start beamFailureRecoveryTimer-CFRA-NUL timer and start RA procedure on NUL;
3>Till expiration of the timer,BFR is not successfully completed;//如果NUL载波上配置了非竞争随机接入资源,当开始使用NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源进行随机接入时,NUL载波的波束失败恢复定时器开始计时,直到该定时器超时时,若随机接入还未成功,利用NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ失败。
4>if the contention-free Random Access Preamble for beam failure recovery request was configured on SUL:
5>start beamFailureRecoveryTimer-CFRA-SUL timer.//如果SUL载波上配置了非竞争随机接入资源,当开始使用SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源进行随机接入时,SUL载波的波束失败恢复定时器开始计时。
作为示例而非限定,下文结合图4,描述终端设备优先选择NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源的具体流程。如图4所示,包括如下步骤。
S401,检测当前小区波束失败,当前小区具有NUL载波与SUL载波。
S402,判断NUL载波上是否配置有非竞争随机接入资源,若是,转到S403,若否,转到S406。
S403,判断NUL载波的波束失败恢复定时器是否超时,若是,转到S406,若否,转到S404。
S404,使用NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息。
S405,检测使用NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息是否成功,若是,转到S414,若否,转到S406。
S406,判断SUL载波上是否配置有非竞争随机接入资源,若是,转到S407,若否,转到S410。
S407,判断SUL载波的波束失败恢复定时器是否超时,若是,转到S410,若否,转到S408。
S408,使用SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息。
S409,检测使用SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息是否成功,若是, 转到S414,若否,转到S410。
S410,判断SUL载波上是否配置有竞争随机接入资源,若是,转到S411,若否,转到S413。
S411,使用SUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息。
S412,检测使用SUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息是否成功,若是,转到S414,若否,转到S413。
S413,使用NUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息。
S414,接收网络设备发送的波束失败恢复响应消息。
上述步骤S403与步骤S407是可选的,即执行完步骤S402后可以直接执行步骤S404,执行完步骤S406后可以直接执行步骤S408。
可选地,终端设备可以按照预设的资源使用优先级,从多个上行载波上的资源中选择目标上行资源(即用于发送BFRQ的上行资源),该资源使用优先级表示多个上行载波上的资源的使用优先级顺序。
例如,该资源使用优先级为:NUL载波的非竞争随机接入资源>SUL载波的非竞争随机接入资源>SUL载波的竞争随机接入资源>NUL载波的竞争随机接入资源,终端设备可以按照图4所示的操作流程,实现按照该资源使用优先级从多个上行载波中确定目标上行资源。
可选地,该资源使用优先级可以是协议规定的。
可选地,该资源使用优先级可以是网络设备预配置的。例如,网络设备可以通过RRC信令或其它下行信令为终端设备配置该资源使用优先级。
应理解,由于NUL载波可能工作在高频频段,可以使用协议定义的更大的子载波间隔传输,相应的每个符号时间(绝对时间)更短,所以相比于SUL载波,NUL载波上的随机接入资源的配置可以更加密集,可以使得终端设备在相对较短的时间内使用资源的机会较多,可以有效减少传输时延。
因此,在本申请中,在终端设备具有多个上行载波的情况下,优先选择多个上行载波中NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息,可以减少BFR的时延,从而可以有效提高BFR的效率。
此外,NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源总数较多,可以为下行的窄波束(例如CSI-RS)配置相关联的非竞争随机接入资源,这样使得,终端设备在完成BFR后,可以不用再重新进行波束扫描和波束训练,从而使得终端设备可以经历相对更短的数据传输恢复时延。因此,优先选择NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源,可以减少BFR的时延,从而可以提高BFR的效率。
优先选择SUL载波上的非竞争随机资源作为目标上行资源的方案。
在从多个上行载波中选择目标上行资源的过程中,优先判断SUL载波上是否有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,若有,将SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源,即使用SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息。
换句话说,优先使用多个上行载波中频段/中心频点相对较低的上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息。例如,终端设备被网络配置了多个上行载波,其中有一个上行载波工作在28GHz,另一个上行载波工作在39GHz,则终端设备可以优先选择工作在28GHz的上行载波上的资源进行BFR。
应理解,终端设备发送功率有限,在终端设备使用相同功率发送信号时,低频信号在自由空间中的路径损耗比高频信号小。相对于NUL载波,SUL载波工作在较低频段,SUL载波相比于NUL载波具有更好的上行覆盖。因此,优先使用SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息,可以提高BFRQ消息的传输可靠性,从而可以提高BFR的成功概率。
例如,在高频系统波束失败场景中,可以优先使用SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息。
需要说明的是,本申请提出的优先选择多个上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源的方案,并非绝对限制多个上行载波上的所有非竞争随机接入资源的使用优先级均高于多个上行载波上的所有竞争随机接入资源。例如,在优先选择SUL载波上的非竞争随机资源作为目标上行资源的方案中,NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源的使用优先级可以低于SUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源。
例如,在优先选择SUL载波上的非竞争随机资源作为目标上行资源的过程中,如果SUL载波上没有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,或者利用SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息失败,可以优先使用SUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源或NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息。
可选地,在优先选择SUL载波上的非竞争随机资源作为目标上行资源的方案中,SUL载波上也可以配置有波束失败恢复定时器,该波束失败恢复定时器如果超时,则SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源不可用;NUL载波上也可以配置有波束失败恢复定时器,该波束失败恢复定时器如果超时,则NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源不可用。
上面实施例中提到的SUL载波上没有可用的非竞争随机接入资源指的是,SUL载波上未配置非竞争随机接入资源,或者NUL载波上的波束失败恢复定时器超时。上面实施例中提到的NUL载波上没有可用的非竞争随机接入资源指的是,NUL载波上未配置非竞争随机接入资源,或者NUL载波上的波束失败恢复定时器超时。
关于NUL载波上的波束失败恢复定时器以及SUL载波上的波束失败恢复定时器的配置方法,如前文描述,为了简洁,这里不再赘述。
作为示例而非限定,下文结合图5,描述终端设备优先选择SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源的具体流程。如图5所示,包括如下步骤。
S501,检测当前小区波束失败,当前小区具有NUL载波与SUL载波。
S502,判断SUL载波上是否配置有非竞争随机接入资源,若是,转到S503,若否,转到S506。
S503,判断SUL载波的波束失败恢复定时器是否超时,若是,转到S506,若否,转到S504。
S504,使用SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息。
S505,检测使用SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息是否成功,若是,转到S514,若否,转到S506。
S506,判断SUL载波上是否配置有竞争随机接入资源,若是,转到S507,若否,转到S509。
S507,使用SUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息。

在图5中,SUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源的使用优先级高于NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源的使用优先级。
可选地,NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源的使用优先级可以高于SUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源的使用优先级。例如,当SUL载波上没有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,或者,使用SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息失败时,优先使用NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源,次优先使用SUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源。
可选地,终端设备可以按照预设的资源使用优先级,从多个上行载波上的资源中选择目标上行资源(即用于发送BFRQ的上行资源),该资源使用优先级表示多个上行载波上的资源的使用优先级顺序。
例如,该资源使用优先级为:SUL载波的非竞争随机接入资源>SUL载波的竞争随机接入资源>NUL载波的非竞争随机接入资源>NUL载波的竞争随机接入资源。或者,该资源使用优先级为:SUL载波的非竞争随机接入资源>NUL载波的非竞争随机接入资源>SUL载波的竞争随机接入资源>NUL载波的竞争随机接入资源。
可选地,该资源使用优先级可以指示多个上行资源的使用优先级顺序,还可以直接指示优先级最高的资源类型。
可选地,该资源使用优先级可以是协议规定的。
可选地,该资源使用优先级可以是网络设备预配置的。例如,网络设备可以通过RRC信令或其它下行信令为终端设备配置该资源使用优先级。
在本申请实施例中,在终端设备具有多个上行载波的情况下,优先选择多个上行载波中SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息。应理解,终端设备发送功率有限,在终端设备使用相同功率发送信号时,低频信号在自由空间中的路径损耗比高频信号小。相对于NUL载波,SUL载波工作在较低频段,SUL载波相比于NUL载波具有更好的上行覆盖。因此,优先使用SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息,可以提高BFRQ消息的传输可靠性,从而可以提高BFR的成功概率。
上文描述了优先选择NUL载波上的非竞争随机资源作为目标上行资源的方案,与优先选择SUL载波上的非竞争随机资源作为目标上行资源的方案。
可选地,在一些实施例中,在检测到当前小区的候选波束的质量超过门限的情况下,优先选择NUL载波上的非竞争随机资源作为目标上行资源;在检测到当前小区的候选波 束的质量低于门限的情况下,优先选择SUL载波上的非竞争随机资源作为目标上行资源。
终端设备通过测量可以获取候选波束的质量。
例如,候选波束的质量可以是在物理层测量得到的该候选波束对应的可以是该候选波束的参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP)或参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality,RSRQ)。
用于衡量候选波束的质量的门限可以是协议规定的,或者,可以是网络设备配置的。
例如,网络设备可以通过RRC信令或其它下行信令配置该门限。
可选地,在载波聚合场景下,如果辅小区的上行载波也允许用于当前小区的BFR,该多个上行载波除了包括主小区(即当前小区)的NUL载波与SUL载波,还包括辅小区的上行载波,这种情形下,终端设备通过如下方式,从多个上行载波上的资源中确定发送BFRQ消息的目标上行资源。
方式1),优先使用多个上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源,当多个上行载波上无可用的非竞争随机接入资源,或者,使用多个上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息失败时,使用多个上行载波上的竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息。
例如,资源使用优先级为:主小区的NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源>主小区的SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源>辅小区的上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源>主小区的SUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源>主小区的NUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源>辅小区的上行载波上的竞争随机接入资源。
再例如,资源使用优先级为:主小区的SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源>主小区的NUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源>辅小区的上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源>主小区的SUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源>主小区的NUL载波上的竞争随机接入资源>辅小区的上行载波上的竞争随机接入资源。
方式2),优先使用主小区的上行载波上的资源,当主小区的上行载波上无可用于发送BFRQ消息的资源,或者,使用主小区的上行载波上的资源发送BFRQ消息失败时,使用辅小区的上行载波上的资源(优先非竞争随机接入资源)发送BFRQ消息。
可以采用前文描述的优先选择非竞争随机接入资源作为目标上行资源的方案、优先选择NUL载波上的非竞争随机资源作为目标上行资源的方案、或优先选择SUL载波上的非竞争随机资源作为目标上行资源的方案中的任一种方案,优先使用主小区的上行载波上的资源。
可选地,在载波聚合场景下,根据主小区的候选波束的质量与辅小区的候选波束的质量,选择主小区的上行载波上的资源或辅小区的上行载波上的资源作为目标上行资源。
换句话说,通过比较主小区的候选波束的质量与辅小区的候选波束的质量,确定优先使用主小区的上行载波上的资源或优先使用辅小区的上行载波上的资源。
候选波束的质量可以为参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP)或参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality,RSRQ)。
可选地,当主小区的候选波束的质量与预设偏移量之和,大于或等于辅小区的候选波束的质量时,选择主小区的上行载波上的资源作为目标上行资源,即优先使用主小区的上行载波上的资源。
当主小区的候选波束的质量与预设偏移量之和,小于辅小区的候选波束的质量时,选择主小区的上行载波上的资源作为目标上行资源,即优先使用辅小区的上行载波上的资 源。
该预设偏移量可以是网络设备预配置的,例如,网络设备通过RRC信令或其它下行信令预配置该预设偏移量。
该预设偏移量还可以是协议规定的。
可选地,还可以基于主小区的候选波束的质量与辅小区的候选波束的质量,通过其它方式,确定优先使用主小区的上行载波上的资源还是辅小区的上行载波上的资源。本申请对此不作限定。
应理解,在载波聚合场景中,在确定优先使用主小区与辅小区之中的一个小区的上行资源后,可以采用上文提供的任一种目标上行资源的选择方法从所选的小区的上行载波的资源上确定目标上行载波。
本申请还提出一种根据上行载波上的资源关联的波束属性,从多个上行载波中确定目标上行资源的方案。
可选地,在一些实施例中,步骤310包括:分别根据多个上行载波上的资源关联的波束属性,从多个上行载波中选择目标上行载波;将目标上行载波上的资源确定为目标上行资源。
可选地,多个上行载波包括第一载波与第二载波,第一载波上的资源关联信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information-reference signal,CSI-RS),第二载波上的资源关联同步信号块(synchronization signal block,SSB),选择第一载波为目标上行载波。
换句话说,多个上行载波中,任一个资源关联到CSI-RS的上行载波的资源使用优先级高于关联到SSB的上行载波的资源使用优先级。
第一载波与第二载波仅为了区分而非限定。第一载波表示多个上行载波中任一个资源关联到CSI-RS的载波,第二载波表示多个上行载波中任一个资源关联到SSB的载波。
例如,第一载波与第二载波分别为同一小区的NUL载波与SUL载波。再例如,第一载波与第二载波分别为主小区的上行载波与辅小区的上行载波。
应理解,通常认为SSB是一个宽波束,CSI-RS是窄波束,例如多个CSI-RS可以认为是准同位(quasi-co-location,QCL)到一个SSB的。如果终端设备波束失败恢复到一个窄波束,可以增大波束赋型增益,从而可以支持更高的数据速率。
因此,本申请实施例在多个上行载波中,通过优先选择资源关联到CSI-RS的上行载波上的资源进行BFR,可以使得恢复到的波束可以获得更高的天线增益(波束赋型增益),从而支持更高的数据速率。
可选地,优先选择资源关联到CSI-RS的上行载波上的资源进行BFR的方案,可以应用于作比较的两个载波均具有非竞争随机接入资源,或均具有竞争随机接入资源的场景。
可选地,优先选择资源关联到CSI-RS的上行载波上的资源进行BFR的方案,可以应用终端设备具有多个上行载波用于BFR的各种场景。
可选地,优先选择资源关联到CSI-RS的上行载波上的资源进行BFR的方案,还可以应用于上述某些实施例中。
例如,在优先选择多个上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源进行BFR的方案中,如果检测到有两个上行载波上均有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,这时,如果一个上行载波上的资源关联CSI-RS,另一个上行载波上的资源关联SSB,则优先选择关联到CSI-RS的上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源进行BFR。
可选地,多个上行载波包括第三载波与第四载波,第三载波上的资源关联的候选波束的数量小于或等于第四载波上的资源所关联的候选波束的数量;将第三载波确定为目标上行载波。
换句话说,优先使用关联的候选波束的数量较少的上行载波进行BFR。
第三载波与第四载波仅为了区分而非限定。第三载波与第四载波表示多个上行载波中任两个资源关联的候选波束的数量不同的上行载波。
例如,如果多个上行载波中的一个上行载波(可以记为第三载波)上的随机接入资源关联到X个候选波束,另一个上行载波(可以记为第四载波)上的随机接入资源关联到Y个候选波束,且X<Y,则终端设备优先在关联到X个候选波束的第三载波上进行BFR。
以X为2,Y为4为例。如果终端设备使用第三载波上的随机接入资源进行BFR,网络设备需要在2个波束方向上进行波束失败恢复响应;如果终端设备使用第四载波上的随机接入资源进行BFR,网络设备需要在4个保护方向上进行波束恢复响应。因此,相对于使用第四载波上的资源进行BFR,终端设备使用第三载波上的资源进行BFR,可以为网络设备指示一个较小的波束失败恢复响应波束范围,从而可以为节约网络设备的资源开销,也有利于后续的波束管理。
因此,本申请实施例在多个上行载波中,通过优先选择资源关联的候选波束的数量较少的上行载波上的资源进行BFR,可以为节约网络设备的资源开销,也有利于后续的波束管理。
可选地,优先选择资源关联的候选波束的数量较少的上行载波上的资源进行BFR的方案,可以应用于作比较的两个载波均具有非竞争随机接入资源,或均具有竞争随机接入资源的场景。
可选地,优先选择资源关联的候选波束的数量较少的上行载波上的资源进行BFR的方案,可以应用终端设备具有多个上行载波用于BFR的各种场景。
可选地,优先选择资源关联的候选波束的数量较少的上行载波上的资源进行BFR的方案,还可以应用于上述某些实施例中。
例如,在优先选择多个上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源进行BFR的方案中,如果检测到有两个上行载波上均有可用的非竞争随机接入资源,这时,如果这两个上行载波上的资源关联的候选波束的数量不同,则优先选择关联较少数量的候选波束的上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源进行BFR。
上述可知,本申请实施例,在具有多个上行载波用于BFR的情况下,提出多种从多个上行载波上的资源中选择用于发送BFRQ消息的目标上行资源的实现方式。例如,可以优先选择多个上行载波上的非竞争随机接入资源为目标上行资源。再例如,可以优先选择多个上行载波中NUL载波上的资源(非竞争随机接入资源优先)作为目标上行资源。再例如,可以优先选择多个上行载波中SUL载波上的资源(非竞争随机接入资源优先)作为目标资源。再例如,优先选择多个上行载波中资源关联到CSI-RS的上行载波上的资源为目标上行资源。再例如,优先选择多个上行载波中资源关联的候选波束的数量较少的上行载波上的资源为目标上行资源。再例如,在载波聚合场景下,在主小区与辅小区的上行载波中,优先选择候选波束的质量较高的小区的上行载波上的资源(非竞争随机接入资源优先)为目标上行资源。这些实现方式中的每种方式,可以独立使用,也可以基于内在逻辑组合使用。上述这些实现方式,有的可以提高BFR的效率与成功率,有的可以提高恢 复到的波束的数据速率,有的可以节省网络设备的资源开销。
总之,本申请实施例,在具有多个上行载波用于BFR的情况下,提出了一种有助于波束失败恢复的资源选择方案。
上文以波束失败恢复(BFR)场景为例,描述了从多个上行载波中选择目标上行资源进行上行传输的方法。但本申请并非限定于此。本申请提供的从多个上行载波中确定上行资源的方案还可以应用于其它上行传输场景,例如,终端设备向网络设备上报调度请求消息的场景,再例如,终端设备向网络设备上报上行数据的场景。
通过将上文各个实施例中的波束失败恢复请求(BFRQ)消息替换为上行调度请求消息,并将波束失败恢复(BFR)替换为上行调度,可以实现多个上行载波中确定用于传输上行调度请求消息的目标上行资源。
可选地,将上文各个实施例中的非竞争随机接入资源替换为上行调度资源,这样的话,可以优先选择NUL载波上的上行调度资源发送上行调度请求消息,或者,可以优先选择SUL载波上的上行调度资源发送上行调度请求消息,或者,可以根据上行载波上的资源所关联的波束属性,从多个载波上选择目标上行载波,使用目标上行载波上的上行调度资源发送上行调度请求消息。
通过将上文实施例中的波束失败恢复请求(BFRQ)消息替换为上行数据,并将波束失败恢复(BFR)替换为上行数据传输,可以实现从多个上行载波中确定用于传输上行数据的目标上行资源。
可选地,将上文各个实施例中的非竞争随机接入资源替换为上行资源,这样的话,可以优先选择NUL载波上的上行资源发送上行数据,或者,可以优先选择SUL载波上的上行资源发送上行数据,或者,可以根据上行载波上的资源所关联的波束属性,从多个载波上选择目标上行载波,使用目标上行载波上的上行资源发送上行数据。
在一些场景中,终端设备发送BFRQ消息的目标上行资源所在的上行载波对应多个下行载波。例如,终端设备使用SUL载波上的非竞争随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息,SUL载波对应多个下行载波。这种场景中,终端设备需要从多个下行载波中确定用于接收网络设备发送的BFR响应消息的目标下行载波,且在目标下行载波上的载波带宽part(bandwidth part,BWP)中确定用于接收BFR响应的目标BWP。
目前,尚无可以适用于上述场景的确定下行资源的方案。
本申请提出一种确定下行资源的方法。该方法还可应用于终端设备发送BFRQ消息的上行载波对应多个下行载波的场景。如图6所示,该方法包括如下步骤。
S610,终端设备使用目标上行载波上的目标上行资源向网络设备发送BFRQ消息。
例如,目标上行资源为竞争随机接入资源。
可选地,该目标上行载波对应多个下行载波。每个下行载波上可以具有多个BWP,例如具有4个BWP。
S620,终端设备获取上下行载波关联关系,该上下行载波关联关系中包括该目标上行载波与目标下行载波之间的关联关系。
该目标上行载波与目标下行载波之间的关联关系,可以是协议规定的,也可以是网络设备配置的。
S630,终端设备利用该目标下行载波,接收网络设备发送的波束失败恢复响应消息(简称为BFR响应消息)。
本申请提供的方案,有助于中终端设备有效地确定用于监听BFR响应消息的下行资源。
终端设备可以通过多种实现方式,获取上下行载波关联关系,即获取目标下行载波。
可选地,上下行载波关联关系是协议规定的,或者可以称为是默认的。
例如,终端设备使用SUL载波上的随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息,该SUL载波对应多个下行载波,终端设备默认在主小区的一个下行载波上监听BFR响应消息。主小区为PCell或PSCell。换句话说,默认地,SUL载波与主小区的一个下行载波具有关联关系。
再例如,终端设备使用SUL载波上的随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息,该SUL载波对应多个下行载波,终端设备默认在该SUL载波所在的小区的一个下行载波上监听BFR响应消息。换句话说,默认地,SUL载波与同小区的一个下行载波具有关联关系。
可选地,上下行载波关联关系是网络设备预配置的。
例如,网络设备向终端设备发送配置信息,该配置信息中携带上下行载波关联关系的信息。
例如,通过载波所在的小区的索引来指示上下行载波关联关系,例如,通过一个上行载波的ServCellIndex或者SCellIndex,与一个下行载波的ServCellIndex或者SCellIndex,来指示这个上行载波与这个下行载波之间的关联关系。
可选地,上下行载波关联关系指的是,网络设备在配置非竞争随机接入资源时,确定的上行载波与下行载波之间的关联关系。
上文描述了终端设备通过上下行载波关联关系,确定用于接收BFR响应消息的目标下行载波。
应理解,一个下行载波可以包括多个BWP,例如包括4个BWP。确定目标下行载波后,终端设备还需要确定目标下行载波上用于接收BFR响应消息的目标BWP。
终端设备可以通过多种实现方式,确定目标下行载波上用于接收BFR响应消息的目标BWP。
可选地,采用目标下行载波上索引与发送BFRQ消息的BWP的索引相同BWP作为目标BWP。
例如,终端设备在SUL载波使用BWP x(x是BWP的索引(index))上的随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息,则可以在目标下行载波的BWP x上监听BFR响应消息。
可选地,在一些场景中,下行载波只有1个BWP,这时,确定目标下行载波之后,可以直接在目标下行载波的1个BWP上,监听BFR响应消息。
例如,在SUL载波的BWP 0~3上均有随机接入资源,下行载波上只有个BWP 0,无论终端设备在SUL载波的哪个BWP上发送BFRQ消息,终端设备确定目标下行载波之后,在目标下行载波的BWP 0上监听BFR响应消息。
可选地,按照下行载波中的BWP与上行载波中的BWP之间的关联关系,确定目标下行载波上用于接收BFR响应消息的目标BWP。
例如,下行载波中的BWP与上行载波中的BWP之间的关联关系,指的是,下行载波中的BWP的索引与上行载波中的BWP的索引之间的升序关联关系。
如图7所示,SUL载波上包括BWP 0~3,其中,BWP 0和BWP 1上没有随机接入资源,BWP 2和BWP 3上具有随机接入资源,下行载波上具有BWP 0和BWP 1。在图7中,下行载波中的BWP与上行载波中的BWP之间的关联关系为SUL载波的BWP 2与下 行载波的BWP 0关联,SUL载波的BWP 3与下行载波的BWP 1关联。例如,终端设备使用图7中得到SUL载波上的BWP 2上的随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息,则终端设备使用目标下行载波上的BWP 0监听BFR响应消息。再例如,终端设备使用图7中得到SUL载波上的BWP 3上的随机接入资源发送BFRQ消息,则终端设备使用目标下行载波上的BWP 1监听BFR响应消息。
可选地,终端设备通过网络设备的配置信息,确定目标下行载波上用于接收BFR响应消息的目标BWP,该配置信息中包括用于指示目标上行载波中的BWP与目标下行载波中的BWP之间的关联关系的信息,或者,该配置信息中包括用于指示终端设备接收BFR响应消息的BWP的位置。
可选地,在本实施例中,用于监听BFR响应消息的目标下行载波以及目标下行载波上用于监听BFR响应消息的目标BWP,均可以由网络设备为终端设备配置,可以单独分开配置,也可以合在一起配置。
例如,网络设备向终端设备发送配置信息,该配置信息中携带上下行载波关联关系,上下行载波关联关系中包括目标上行载波与目标下行载波之间的关联关系,该配置信息中还包括目标上行载波上的BWP与目标下行载波上的BWP之间的关联关系。
因此,在本申请实施例中,即使在发送BFRQ消息所在的上行载波对应多个下行载波的情况下,终端设备也可以确定出用于监听BFR响应消息的下行载波。
可选地,在某些实施例中,如果终端设备具有的两个上行载波不是QCL的,例如载波1是低频载波,载波2是高频载波,这种情形下的波束失败恢复可以称为是跨载波波束失败恢复。跨载波波束失败恢复可以按照以下流程进行。
1)网络设备配置下行载波与上行RACH资源的关联关系。
例如,网络设备配置载波1上的RACH资源与载波2的下行信号(候选波束)的关联关系。网络设备可以通过RRC消息配置关联关系。
2)载波2上发生了波束失败。
3)终端设备在载波2上寻找新的候选波束。终端设备的物理层会向终端设备的MAC层上报满足条件的波束。
4)终端设备使用载波1上的RACH资源发起BFRQ消息。在发送BFRQ消息后4个时隙,终端设备开始在载波2上监听网络设备的响应,即载波2上的在一个窗口内的一个PDCCH,其中循环冗余码(cyclic redundancy code,CRC)使用小区无线网络临时标识(cell radio network temporary identifier,C-RNTI)进行加扰。
5)网络设备在载波1上收到终端设备的BFRQ消息,可以确定是该终端设备在载波2上发生了波束失败,并且终端设备请求的新波束可以通过之前RACH资源与波束的关联关系确定。
因此,本实施例提出一种在高频载波(或低频载波)上发送BFRQ消息,在低频载波(或高频载波)上检测BFR响应消息的波束失败恢复方案。
上述跨载波波束失败恢复的流程可以适用于如下两个场景。
1)载波2没有相关联的/或相对应的上行载波;或者没有相应的上行传输资源或PRACH资源。
2)载波1为低频的上行载波,由于低频的上行覆盖更好,所以相应的RACH成功率更高。
可选地,在某些实施例中,如果终端设备具有的两个上行载波是QCL的,例如,载波1和载波2是QCL的,且载波1和载波2工作在高频频段,这种情形下的波束失败恢复也可以称为是跨载波波束失败恢复。该跨载波波束失败恢复可以按照以下流程进行。
1)网络设备配置下行载波与上行RACH资源的关联关系。
例如,网络设备配置载波1上的RACH资源与载波2的下行信号(候选波束)的关联关系。网络设备可以通过RRC消息配置关联关系。
2)如果载波1和载波2上的用于波束失败检测(BFD)的参考信号具有QCL关系,那么波束失败检测既可以在载波1上进行,也可以在载波2上进行。波束失败实例(beam failure instance)的计算应该包括两个载波上的波束失败检测结果。
3)当波束失败检测的结果为波束失败时,终端设备在载波1和载波2上均可以进行候选波束检测。
4)终端设备的MAC层选择相应的RACH资源。
可选地,如果有多个波束满足条件,终端设备可以选择时间上最近的随机接入资源(RACH occasion,RO),这样可以加速BFR的过程。
5)终端设备的物理层基于自身MAC层的配置,可以在载波1上发送RACH msg1进行波束失败恢复请求。4个时隙后,终端设备开始在相同的载波上接收网络设备的BFR响应消息。
例如,网络设备的BFR响应消息可以是PDCCH,其中,CRC通过C-RNTI进行加扰。
因此,本实施例提出一种在高频载波上发送BFRQ消息,在高频载波上检测BFR响应消息的波束失败恢复方案。
