The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to an information confirmation method, device and communication equipment.

Background technique

In the 5th Generation New Radio Access Technology (5G NR), there are a large number of Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communication (URLLC) services, and URLLC services have very high requirements for delay. (That is, the delay is required to be small enough), but considering that the uplink transmission and downlink transmission on the unpaired spectrum share the same spectrum resource, the uplink and downlink need to perform time division multiplexing (Time Division Multiplexing, TDM) transmission, so in a In the carrier group, the carrier configured to transmit the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) may be limited by the uplink and downlink ratio, and cannot find available uplink resources in the time domain position that satisfies the shortest processing time for downlink transmission (such as The position that satisfies the processing delay is just the time domain position of the downlink transmission), at this time, if the available uplink resources on the carrier for transmitting the PUCCH are waited, the transmission delay will be caused and the URLLC performance will be affected.

Specifically, one of the two indicators of URLLC is highly reliable transmission, such as a block error rate (BLER) performance of 10-5 or even lower, and the other indicator is low latency, such as the one-way transmission time of the air interface is short More than 0.5ms or 1ms etc. URLLC uplink control information (Uplink Control Information, UCI) transmission delay will affect the transmission delay of URLLC services, such as hybrid automatic repeat request confirmation (Hybrid Automatic Repeat request-ACKnowledgment, HARQ-ACK) feedback delay will affect the physical The retransmission of the physical downlink shared channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, PDSCH), the delay of the channel state information (Channel State Information, CSI) feedback will affect the scheduling of the PDSCH, thereby affecting the delay of the downlink service; the scheduling request (Scheduling Request, SR ) delay will affect the delay of the physical uplink shared channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUSCH), thereby affecting the delay of the uplink service. When PUCCH can only be transmitted on the primary cell (Primary Cell, PCell) or PUCCH secondary cell (Secondary Cell, SCell) or primary secondary cell (Primary Secondary Cell, PSCell) configured in the related art, for HARQ-ACK transmission, if There is no available uplink resource at the feedback time determined by the minimum K1 value determined according to the PDSCH processing delay, then the PUCCH cannot be transmitted, and it needs to be delayed until the later time when there is an available uplink resource by changing the K1 value. It will increase the delay of PUCCH transmission. Among them, K1 is used to refer to the feedback timing relationship between PDSCH and its corresponding HARQ-ACK (HARQ-ACK timing, namely K1). On the other hand, the interference and transmission performance on different carriers may be different, and the transmission of a fixed PUCCH on a certain carrier may cause the PUCCH to fail to achieve the best performance.

It can be known from the above that the PUCCH transmission in the related art has the problem of increasing service transmission delay or poor transmission performance.

The content involved in the solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be firstly introduced below.

UCI includes HARQ-ACK, CSI, SR and other information. Among them, HARQ-ACK is a general term for positive acknowledgment (ACKnowledgment, ACK) and negative acknowledgment (Non-ACKnowledgment, NACK), which is used for the physical downlink control channel for PDSCH or indicating semi-persistent scheduling (Semi-Persistent Scheduling, SPS) resource release (Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH) (SPS PDSCH release) and other feedback, inform the base station PDSCH or indicate whether the PDCCH released by SPS PDSCH is received correctly; CSI is used to feed back the quality of the downlink channel, thereby helping the base station to perform better downlink scheduling, for example According to the CSI, the modulation and coding level (Modulation and Coding Scheme, MCS) is selected, and the appropriate resource block (Resource Block, RB) resource is configured; SR is used to request the base station to carry the PUSCH of the uplink service when the terminal has uplink service to be transmitted transmission resources. UCI is transmitted on PUCCH. PUCCH is always transmitted on a fixed carrier.

For the carrier aggregation (Carrier aggregation, CA) scenario, the PUCCH is transmitted on the primary carrier (Primary Component Carrier, PCC) or PCell. When the CA scenario is configured to transmit the PUCCH on the secondary carrier (Secondary Component Carrier, SCC) or SCell, The aggregated carriers can be divided into two PUCCH carrier groups. There is a designated carrier in each PUCCH carrier group to transmit PUCCH. The carrier group containing PCC is the primary PUCCH carrier group. PUCCH is transmitted on the PCC. The secondary PUCCH carrier group is both SCC, high-level signaling configures one of the SCCs to transmit PUCCH, which is called a PUCCH SCell, and the HARQ-ACK for downlink transmission on all carriers in each carrier group is transmitted in the PUCCH on a designated carrier. For Dual-connective (DC) scenarios, there are two carrier groups, Master Carrier Group (MCG) and Secondary Carrier Group (SCG), on a designated carrier in each carrier group The PUCCH is transmitted, wherein the MCG includes the PCC, the PUCCH is transmitted on the PCC, all the SCGs are SCCs, and the PUCCH is transmitted on one of the pre-configured SCCs (or called PSCells).

Flexible timing relationships are supported in 5G NR. For downlink transmission with dynamic scheduling (that is, transmission scheduled by PDCCH or downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI)), including PDSCH scheduled by PDCCH, the PDCCH itself that needs to perform HARQ-ACK, such as the PDCCH indicating the release of downlink SPS resources, Indicates the PDCCH of SCell dormancy, the type (type) 3 HARQ-ACK codebook transmission triggered by DCI, and the time slot or sub-slot where the HARQ-ACK transmission is located can be based on the corresponding PDCCH or DCI (PDCCH and DCI can be considered Equivalently, DCI is the specific transmission format of the PDCCH, and the PDCCH is the transmission channel of the DCI) is determined by the feedback timing indication field. Taking PDSCH as an example, the PDCCH carrying its scheduling information indicates the scheduling timing relationship between PDSCH and PDCCH (Scheduling timing, K0) and the feedback timing relationship between PDSCH and its corresponding HARQ-ACK (HARQ-ACK timing, K0). K1). Specifically, the time domain resource allocation indication field in the DCI format used by the PDCCH indicates the time slot offset K0 between the time slot where the PDSCH is located and the time slot where the DCI is located; the PDSCH to HARQ-ACK feedback timing indication field in the DCI format indicates the end of the PDSCH The number of time slots K1 between the start of HARQ-ACK, that is, assuming that the uplink and downlink sub-carrier spaces (sub-carrier space, SCS) are the same, the PDSCH transmitted in time slot n is HARQ- ACK transmission, as shown in Figure 2.

The full set of K1 is {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15}, which are usually configured for terminals with up to 8 values. In Release-15 (Release-15, Rel-15), the value of K1 is in units of slots (slots), that is, K1=1 means that the interval is 1 slot. In Rel-16, the value of K1 can be in units of time slots or sub-slots (sub-slots), where sub-slots can be pre-configured as 2 symbol lengths (that is, there are 7 sub-slots in sequence in a slot ), or 7 symbol lengths (that is, there are 2 sub-slots sequentially in one slot), etc. Whether there is a feedback timing indication field in the DCI can be obtained according to whether the number of indication bits configured by high-layer signaling is greater than 0, or can be determined according to the number of elements in the feedback timing candidate value K1 set configured by high-layer signaling. When the number of elements When the number is greater than 1, the number of indicated bits is determined according to the number of elements (for example, ceil(log2N), N is the number of elements, and ceil is rounded up). When the number of elements is only one, there is no indication field in DCI. Use this value directly to determine feedback timing.

For semi-static UCI, such as CSI, SR, and HARQ-ACK corresponding to SPS PDSCH (SPS HARQ-ACK for short), the time slot or sub-slot where the PUCCH transmission of semi-static UCI is located is determined semi-statically, called Semi-static feedback timing. For example, CSI and SR determine the time slot and the symbol position in the time slot of each transmission opportunity according to the period and offset value configured by the high-level signaling, so that they are periodically used in the corresponding time slot and the corresponding symbol position The PUCCH resources configured by high-layer signaling are used for transmission. SPS HARQ-ACK can determine the HARQ-ACK feedback position (that is, the time slot or sub-slot) according to the K1 value indicated by the feedback timing indication field in the PDCCH indicating the activation of the SPS PDSCH. Of course, if the activation of the SPS PDSCH is indicated If there is no feedback timing indication field in the PDCCH, the HARQ-ACK feedback position is determined according to a K1 value configured in high layer signaling.

The PUCCH resource carrying CSI or SR is a PUCCH resource configured by higher layer signaling for each CSI report (report) or SR configuration. In the system, one or more PUCCH resource sets can be configured for the HARQ-ACK bearing the downlink transmission with dynamic scheduling. If only one PUCCH resource set is configured, the PUCCH resource bearing the HARQ-ACK with the downlink transmission with dynamic scheduling can be according to The PUCCH resource indication field in the scheduling PDCCH selects a resource from multiple resources in this resource set. If a resource set contains more than 8 resources, it can be combined with the control channel element (Control Channel Element, CCE) information of the PDCCH and The PUCCH resource indication field is a resource selected among multiple resources; if multiple PUCCH resource sets are configured, each PUCCH resource set corresponds to a different number of UCI transmission bits, and first select one of them according to the number of UCI bits carried by the PUCCH A PUCCH resource set, in the selected PUCCH resource set, a resource selected from multiple resources in the resource set according to the PUCCH resource indication field in the scheduling PDCCH. If there is only one PUCCH resource in a resource set, the PUCCH resource indication field may not exist in the PDCCH, and this resource can be directly used for transmission.

On the one hand, multiple time slots included in a period of time can be semi-statically configured through high-level signaling. Which are downlink time slots, which are uplink time slots, and which are mixed time slots containing both uplink and downlink. For example, high-level signaling can configure the starting point of all downlink time slots, the number of consecutive full The number of downlink symbols in a time slot after the first full uplink time slot, the number of uplink symbols in the time slot before the first full uplink time slot, the number of consecutive full uplink time slots or the end position, etc.; where there is no indication The symbol position of the uplink or downlink symbol is regarded as a flexible symbol, and the flexible symbol can be dynamically used for downlink transmission or uplink transmission. In addition, it is also possible to change the uplink and downlink ratio through dynamic instructions, for example, by periodically sending DCI indicating slot format (Slot Format Indication, SFI) to notify one or more consecutive time slots, each time slot The uplink and downlink symbols are divided, so as to adjust the number of uplink and downlink symbols in each time slot.

The channels involved in this manner may all belong to the same carrier group.

In addition, the solutions involved in the above methods can:

(1) Wherein, when the PUCCH transmission determines that carrier switching needs to be performed in the current time unit according to predetermined rules or signaling notifications, the above behavior of determining whether to perform carrier switching is performed. (That is to say, it is determined to perform carrier switching according to rules or signaling notifications, and the above-mentioned conditions for carrier switching to be performed must be satisfied at the same time before carrier switching can be actually performed; otherwise, carrier switching is not performed); corresponding to the above when according to predetermined rules or When the signaling notification determines that the transmission of the PUCCH requires carrier switching in the current time unit, it is determined whether carrier switching of the physical uplink control channel PUCCH can be performed according to the first condition. The channels involved may all belong to the same carrier group.

And/or, (2) Wherein, the above-mentioned PUSCH and PUCCH have the same or different priorities (preferably, they have the same priority, if they have different priorities, they can support PUCCH and PUSCH multiplexing transmission with different priorities, that is The UCI on the PUCCH can be transferred to the PUSCH for transmission, if the PUSCH cannot carry the UCI on the PUCCH, whether such a PUSCH overlaps with the PUCCH will not affect the carrier switching of the PUCCH); the channels involved can all belong to the same carrier group.

And/or, (3) Wherein, the other PUCCH and the PUCCH have the same or different priorities (if they are different priorities, multiplexing transmission between PUCCHs with different priorities can be supported, that is, one can be obtained The PUCCH resource transmits the UCI on these PUCCHs at the same time, if the UCI on the PUCCH will be discarded during the multiplexing process, then this PUCCH can be switched); the channels involved may all belong to the same carrier group.

And/or, (4) wherein, the other PUCCH may be a PUCCH with a corresponding PDCCH, or a PUCCH without a corresponding PDCCH; a PUCCH with a corresponding PDCCH is, for example, a PUCCH that bears dynamic UCI, and the dynamic UCI is a PUCCH corresponding to a PDSCH with PDCCH scheduling HARQ-ACK or HARQ-ACK of PDCCH that needs HARQ-ACK; there is no PUCCH corresponding to PDCCH, such as PUCCH carrying semi-static UCI, semi-static UCI includes: at least one of HARQ-ACK, CSI, and SR corresponding to SPS PDSCH types; the channels involved may all belong to the same carrier group.

And/or, (5) where, if there is a definition of a carrier group (including MCG and SCG in the DC scenario, or a PUCCH group (group)), the above behavior is performed internally for a carrier group; corresponding to the above when configured When there are multiple carrier groups, the operation of determining whether carrier switching of the physical uplink control channel PUCCH can be performed according to the first condition is performed in the same carrier group. For example: the first carrier and the second carrier belong to the same carrier group; and/or, at least one of the other uplink channel, the downlink channel scheduling the other uplink channel, and the downlink channel corresponding to the other uplink channel item, which corresponds to the same carrier group as the PUCCH.

The solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure are illustrated below.

Example 1: According to a predetermined rule or signaling indication (that is, the above-mentioned signaling notification), it is determined that the PUCCH transmitted in the time slot n (corresponding to the above-mentioned current time unit) of the first carrier is a PUCCH that requires carrier switching, and then further according to The above method determines whether carrier switching is possible, for example:

Because the PUCCH on the first carrier does not overlap with the PUSCH in the time domain (that is, the corresponding PUCCH resource on the first carrier does not overlap with the PUSCH in the time domain), handover can be performed, and then the second carrier can be determined according to specific rules. The PUCCH transmission resource on the carrier, the PUCCH transmission is performed on the corresponding resource on the second carrier, as shown in Figure 4 (A in the figure represents the first carrier, SCS=15kHz; B represents the second carrier, SCS=15kHz); or ,

Because PUCCH overlaps with PUSCH on the first carrier in the time domain, PUCCH carrier switching cannot be performed, and the overlap of PUCCH and PUSCH on the first carrier is directly processed according to existing regulations. For example, when multiplexing of PUCCH and PUSCH is supported, Perform the operation of UCI on PUSCH, that is, the UCI carried on the PUCCH on the first carrier is transferred to an overlapping PUSCH for transmission, so that the PUCCH on the first carrier is not transmitted, as shown in Figure 5 (A in the figure represents the first One carrier, SCS=15kHz; B represents the second carrier, SCS=15kHz); Of course, it is also possible that the first carrier does not support multiplexing transmission between PUCCH and PUSCH, for example, PUCCH carries SR, and PUSCH carries SP-CSI And there is no transport block (Transport Block, TB) transmission. At this time, the PUSCH will be discarded and only the PUCCH will be transmitted. If the resources of the PUCCH on the first carrier are not available, the PUCCH cannot be transmitted; for example, the priorities of the PUCCH and the PUSCH are different. , and does not support multiplexed transmission between channels of different priorities, then according to the priorities, discard low-priority channels and only transmit high-priority channels.

In the above example 1, replacing the PUSCH with the first-type semi-static PUSCH or the PUSCH with PDCCH scheduling is also applicable. The PUSCH and the PUCCH may both be on the first carrier, or the PUSCH and the PUCCH may be on different carriers, for example, the PUSCH is on the second carrier or even on other carriers, such as the third carrier. When performing UCI on PUSCH operation, if there are multiple PUSCHs overlapping with PUCCHs, one of the PUSCHs can be selected to carry UCI according to the established PUSCH selection rules.

Example 2: According to a predetermined rule or signaling indication (that is, the above-mentioned signaling notification), it is determined that the PUCCH1 transmitted in the time slot n (corresponding to the above-mentioned current time unit) of the first carrier is a PUCCH that requires carrier switching, and then further according to The above method determines whether carrier switching is possible, for example:

Because PUCCH1 overlaps with PUCCH2 on the first carrier in the time domain, and the PUCCH resource (PUCCH1') corresponding to PUCCH1 on the second carrier determined in the above manner does not overlap with PUCCH2 on the first carrier in the time domain (corresponding to If the above-mentioned PUCCH resources corresponding to the first carrier overlap with other PUCCHs in the time domain, and the PUCCH resources corresponding to the second carrier do not overlap with other PUCCHs in the time domain), it is determined that PUCCH1 can be switched, so that Transmit PUCCH1 and PUCCH2 at different time domain positions on the second carrier and the first carrier, as shown in Figure 6 (A in the figure represents the first carrier, SCS=15kHz; B represents the second carrier, SCS=15kHz); or ,

Because PUCCH1 on the first carrier overlaps with PUCCH2 on the first carrier in the time domain, and the PUCCH resource (PUCCH1') corresponding to PUCCH1 on the second carrier is determined in the time domain with PUCCH2 on the first carrier according to the above method If there is also overlap, even if carrier switching is performed, there is still a conflict, and it can be determined that PUCCH1 does not perform carrier switching; subsequently, the overlap between PUCCHs will be processed on the first carrier according to the established scheme, for example, multiplexing transmission between PUCCHs is supported , directly perform multiplexed transmission with PUCCH2 on the first carrier, and if the resource (PUCCH3) after the multiplexed transmission is available (for example, there is no conflict with the symbols occupied by DL symbols or SSB), then the determined PUCCH The UCI on PUCCH1 and PUCCH2 is simultaneously transmitted on the resources, as shown in Figure 7 (A in the figure represents the first carrier, SCS=15kHz; B represents the second carrier, SCS=15kHz), if the resources after multiplexed transmission are not available, Then PUCCH1 and PUCCH2 are not transmitted on the first carrier; for another example, if the multiplexed transmission between PUCCH1 and PUCCH2 is not supported (for example, PUCCH1 and PUCCH2 have different priorities and do not support multiplexed transmission, or PUCCH1 and PUCCH2 have the same Priority, but it is stipulated that the two cannot be multiplexed and transmitted in the case of using a specific PUCCH format to transmit a specific UCI), then discard one of them according to the rules.

In the above example 2, for example, HARQ-ACK is carried on PUCCH1, and CSI and/or SR can be carried on PUCCH2, and it is assumed that the priorities of PUCCHs are the same; of course, it can also be assumed that the priorities of PUCCH1 and PUCCH2 are different For example, HARQ-ACK with low priority on PUCCH1 and HARQ-ACK with high priority on PUCCH2, if it is determined that PUCCH1 cannot be switched, whether the multiplexed transmission behavior of PUCCH1 and PUCCH2 on the first carrier can be performed depends on Whether to support PUCCH multiplexing transmission with different priorities. If yes, find a PUCCH resource to transmit HARQ-ACK with different priorities on PUCCH1 and PUCCH2 at the same time. If not, discard low-priority PUCCH1 and only transmit high-priority Level PUCCH2. In the case of replacing the UCIs on PUCCH1 and PUCCH2 with other UCIs, changing the priorities of PUCCH1 and PUCCH2, etc., the above methods are also applicable and will not be described again. The above replaces PUCCH2 with PUSCH, and the related methods are also applicable, except that when it is determined that PUCCH1 does not perform carrier switching, the UCI on PUCCH1 is multiplexed on PUSCH on the first carrier (if this multiplexing behavior is supported), Thus PUCCH1 is not transmitted.

Example 3: According to predetermined rules or signaling indications (that is, the above-mentioned signaling notification), it is determined that the PUCCH transmitted in the time slot n (corresponding to the above-mentioned current time unit) of the first carrier is a PUCCH that needs to be switched between carriers, and then further according to The above method determines whether carrier switching is possible, for example:

Because it is determined according to specific rules that the PUCCH transmission resource on the second carrier is available (corresponding to the above-mentioned PUCCH resource on the second carrier is an available resource; for example, it does not overlap with the DL symbol or the symbol occupied by the SSB on the second carrier), Then it is determined that carrier switching can be performed. After the switching, PUCCH transmission is performed on the corresponding resource on the second carrier, as shown in FIG. 8 (A in the figure represents the first carrier, SCS=15kHz; B represents the second carrier, SCS=15kHz) or, because it is determined according to specific rules that the PUCCH transmission resource on the second carrier is unavailable (for example, overlaps with a DL symbol on the second carrier or a symbol occupied by SSB), it is determined that no carrier switching is performed, and the PUCCH in the first If the resources on the carrier are not available, the PUCCH is not transmitted, as shown in Figure 9 (A in the figure represents the first carrier, SCS=15kHz; B represents the second carrier, SCS=15kHz);

In the above example 3, the rule for judging whether carrier switching is possible is replaced by whether the PUCCH resources on the second carrier meet the processing delay, or whether the PUCCH resources on the second carrier overlap with other uplink channels on the second carrier, or Whether the PUCCH resource on the second carrier overlaps with the PUSCH on any carrier is also applicable and will not be repeated here.

In the above examples 1-3, only the SCSs of the first carrier and the second carrier are the same as an example, and this method is also applicable when the SCSs of the two are different; only when the transmission units of the PUCCH on the first carrier and the second carrier are both For example, if the first carrier is a time slot, one carrier is a sub-slot, or both carriers are sub-slots, and the symbols contained in the sub-slots are the same or different, this method is applicable ,No longer.

It can be seen from the above that this solution mainly involves: judging whether the PUCCH that needs to be switched by the PUCCH carrier can be switched according to a specific condition, so as to reduce unnecessary switching.

Specifically, this solution provides a method for determining whether to perform PUCCH carrier switching, according to the channel overlap situation of PUCCH on the pre-switching carrier and/or on the post-switching carrier, and/or whether the resources after switching are available, etc. It is judged whether PUCCH carrier switching can be performed, so as to avoid unnecessary carrier switching behavior, save UE power, and simplify the implementation process.

An embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a communication device, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 , including a memory 101, a transceiver 102, and a processor 103:

The memory 101 is used to store computer programs; the transceiver 102 is used to send and receive data under the control of the processor 103; the processor 103 is used to read the computer programs in the memory 101 and perform the following operations:

According to the first condition, determine whether the carrier switching of the physical uplink control channel PUCCH can be performed;

Wherein, the first condition includes at least one of the following:
