Description
交叉引用
本发明要求在2021年10月11日提交中国专利局、申请号为202111189825.9、发明名称为“侧链路通信方法、终端及网络侧设备”的中国专利申请的优先权,该申请的全部内容通过引用结合在本发明中。
本申请属于通信领域,具体涉及一种侧链路通信方法、终端及网络侧设备。
在侧链路(Sidelink,SL,也可称作旁链路或副链路)通信过程中,发送端(Tx UE)和接收端(Rx UE)在进行频段2(Frequency Radio 2,FR2)相关的波束赋形的高频信号传输时,可通过同步信号块(Synchronization Signal and PBCH block,SSB)或信道状态信息-参考信号(Channel State Information reference signal,CSI-RS)等进行波束对齐后再进行侧链路通信。
但是,如果Tx UE和Rx UE之间基于组播方式或广播方式进行通信时,会导致Tx UE无法和Rx UE在一个时隙(Slot)上对齐。在此情况下,Tx UE需要通过重复发送的方式,对不同方向的Rx UE发送相同的数据包。例如,假设Tx UE被配置有M个发送波束、Rx UE被配置有N个接收波束,那么,为了保证所有的Rx UE能够接收Tx UE发送的数据包,Tx UE必须在每个波束方向重复连续发送N个相同的数据包,即,在N个时隙重复连续发送相同的数据包。而每个Rx UE需要在N个时隙连续切换波束方向以进行数据包接收。换言之,为了完成组播或广播数据包的传输,Tx UE必须在M×N个时隙上重复发送M×N次相同的数据包、且每个Rx UE需要在N个时隙连续切换波束方向以进行数据包接收,导致通信资源的利用率低。

如图2所示,为本申请一示例性实施例提供的侧链路通信方法200的流程示意图,该方法200可以但不限于由终端(如第一终端(TX UE))执行,具体可由安装于终端中的硬件和/或软件执行。本实施例中,所述方法200至少可以包括如下步骤。
S210,第一终端从至少一个侧链路资源池中选取目标资源池。
其中,每个所述侧链路资源池中至少配置有空域资源,由此,相对于相关技术中由于资源池中未配置空域资源(如参考波束方位(Reference Beam Direction)),而导致RX UE无法对齐TX UE的发送波束的问题,本申请可基于空域资源,实现TX UE和RX UE在侧链路通信过程中的波束对齐。
一种实现方式中,每个所述侧链路资源池中还可配置有时域资源和频域资源,其中,对于所述第一终端,所述空域资源、所述时域资源和所述频域资源相互对齐且具有一致性。其中,所述时域资源可以包括时隙(slot),所述频域资源可以包括频域子信道(Sub-channel)。
也就是,相对相关技术,本实施例中引入了三个维度的资源,即时域资源、频域资源、空域资源,从而使得在侧链路通信过程中,实现TX UE与RX UE之间的波束对齐。
可选地,所述至少一个侧链路资源池可以通过高层信令(如无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令)配置实现、协议约定或网络侧配置实现。
S220,所述第一终端基于所述目标资源池传输目标数据。
本实施例中,第一终端通过配置有空域资源的目标资源池实现侧链路通信,能够实现侧链路通信过程中的波束对齐,避免相关技术中存在的TX UE需要重复发送目标数据等而导致的资源利用率低的问题。
如图3所示,为本申请一示例性实施例提供的侧链路通信方法300的流程示意图,该方法300可以但不限于由终端(如第一终端(TX UE))执行,具体可由安装于终端中的硬件和/或软件执行。本实施例中,所述方法300至少可以包括如下步骤。
S310,第一终端从至少一个侧链路资源池中选取目标资源池。
其中,每个所述侧链路资源池中至少配置有空域资源。
可以理解,S310的实现过程除了除可参照前述方法实施例200中的相关描述之外,作为一种可能的实现方式,所述空域资源可以包括波束宽度(Beamwidth)、波束偏移量(Beam Offset)、波束数量、波束索引、参考波束方位(Reference Beam Direction)中的至少一项。
所述波束偏移量用于更加有效的增加到达角(Direction of Arrival,DOA)的方向粒度。可选地,所述波束偏移量、所述波束宽度和所述波束数量满足以下关系:
表示所述波束偏移量,
表示波束宽度,l表示所述侧链路资源池的次序。例如,请结合参阅图4a,侧链路资源池(SL-Resource Pool)-1中(左图)的波束偏移被配置为0,而侧链路资源池-2中(右图)的波束偏移量被配置为
在所述空域资源中配置有所述参考波束方位和所述波束索引时,根据参考波束方位(如绝对参考波束方位或相对参考波束方位等),所述侧链路资源 池中的每个波束可通过所述波束索引进行查找。需要注意,所述参考波束方位可以与所述侧链路资源池同时配置、但所述参考波束方位不属于所述侧链路资源池中的信息。
示例性的,假设所述侧链路资源池包括时域资源、频域资源和空域资源、且时域资源包括时隙、频域资源包括子信道、空域资源包括波束带宽,那么,第l个侧链路资源池可以表示为子信道
时隙
和波束宽度
相应的,所述第一终端在利用侧链路控制信息(Sidelink Control Information,SCI)向第二终端指示目标资源池的相关信息时,可以利用三个控制信令相关的指示域(Field,也即领域)来完成,即(频域)子信道
(时域)时隙
和(空域)波束索引k。
作为另一种可能的实现方式,所述终端在选取所述目标资源池时,为了降低相邻波束间的干扰,保证FR2侧链路通信性能,所述第一终端的最大波束宽度(也可以理解为所述终端能够实现的最大波束宽度)小于或等于所述目标资源池中的波束宽度。例如,请参阅图4b,拥有波束宽度θ
t的第一终端可以选择第l个侧链路资源池(即目标资源池)来发送目标数据,其中第l个侧链路资源池被配置的波束宽度
不能小于波束宽度θ
t。
可选地,所述第一终端能够实现的波束宽度θ
t可由所述第一终端根据自身的可行性能力(如所述第一终端所支持的天线数)确定。
需注意,本实施例中所述的侧链路资源池可以为但不限于FR2中的资源池。
基于前述对侧链路资源池的描述,下面进一步结合图4c对侧链路资源池的配置进行说明。
如图4c所示,侧链路资源池-1(左图)被配置有8个波束,即,
其中,侧链路资源池的参数可以被表示为:
B
1(k),其中,
是资源池-1相关的子信道、时隙和波束宽度,
是资源池-1相关 的波束偏移量,B
1(k)是资源池-1相关的波束方位角,k=0,1,…,7,和
再次参阅图4c,侧链路资源池2(右图)被配置有16个波束,即,
其中,侧链路资源池的参数可以被表示为,
其中
是资源池-2相关的子信道、时隙和波束宽度,
是资源池-2相关的波束偏移量,B
2(k)是资源池-2相关的波束方位角,k=0,1,…,15,和
S320,所述第一终端基于所述目标资源池传输目标数据。
其中,S320的实现过程可参照方法实施例200中的实现过程,为避免重复,在此不再赘述。
本实施例中,能够进一步提高侧链路通信过程中的波束对齐的精确性,进而提高侧链路通信的可靠性。
如图5所示,为本申请一示例性实施例提供的侧链路通信方法500的流程示意图,该方法500可以但不限于由终端(如第一终端(TX UE))执行,具体可由安装于终端中的硬件和/或软件执行。本实施例中,所述方法500至少可以包括如下步骤。
S510,第一终端从至少一个侧链路资源池中选取目标资源池。
其中,每个所述侧链路资源池中至少配置有空域资源。
可以理解,S510的实现过程除了可参照前述方法实施例200和/或300中的相关描述之外,作为一种可能的实现方式,S510的实现过程可以包括图5中所示的S511,内容如下。
S511,所述第一终端根据第一信息从至少一个所述侧链路资源池中选取目标资源池。
其中,根据SL通信场景的不同,所述第一信息可以包括绝对参考波束方位、相对参考波束方位、第一指示信号中的至少一项,所述第一指示信号用于指示第一参考波束方位,以用于所述第一终端确定目标资源池。
基于此,下面分别结合不同的第一信息,对所述S511的实现过程进行说 明,内容如下。
实现方式1
如果所述第一信息包括绝对参考波束方位,那么可以理解的是,首先可针对配置的所有侧链路资源池选择一个点作为第一参考坐标,同时制定一个参考方向,使得每个侧链路资源池配置的参考波束方位可以按照其制定的参考方向确定,也就是说,所述第一参考坐标是基于所述至少一个侧链路资源池确定,且所述至少一个侧链路资源池对应一个绝对参考波束方位。
在此情况下,作为一种可能的实现方式,所述绝对参考波束方位的获取过程可以包括:所述第一终端可以根据自身的第一位置坐标和第一参考坐标,确定所述第一参考坐标所在的第一波束方位,进而根据所述第一参考坐标所在的第一波束方位,确定所述绝对参考波束方位;其中,所述第一位置坐标包括所述第一终端的位置坐标(如地理坐标)。
可选的,根据SL通信应用场景的不同,前述的第一参考坐标和参考方向可以是两维度或三维度的坐标。
一种实现方式中,请结合参阅图6a,假设所述第一参考坐标为两维的坐标(x
0,y
0),参考波束方位为θ
R,那么,所述TX UE(即第一终端)可根据自身的第一位置坐标(x
t,y
t)和所述第一参考坐标(x
0,y
0)计算出所述第一参考坐标所在第一波束方位θ,进而根据所述第一波束方位θ确定所述绝对参考波束方位θ
R。
另一种实现方式中,如果所述第一参考坐标为三维空间坐标(x
0,y
0,z
0),所述第一终端确定绝对参考波束方位θ
R的过程与前述基于二维空间坐标确定绝对参考波束方位的规程完全一样。
可以理解,假设第一终端的第一位置坐标为(x
t,y
t,z
t),而第一参考坐标为(x
0,y
0,z
0)。其中,x
t可根据WGS84模型、UE当前位置和地理坐标(0,0,0)之间的经度(Longitude)距离确定,以米表示,在这种情况下,第一参考坐标x
0=0。y
t可根据WGS84模型、UE当前位置和地理坐标(0,0,0)之间的纬度(Latitude)距离,以米表示,在这种情况下,第一参考坐标y
0=0。z
t可根据WGS84模型、UE当前位置和地理坐标(0,0,0)之间的标高(Elevation)距离确定,以米表示。在这种情况下,第一参考坐标z
0=0。
值得注意的是,如图6b所示,WGS-84坐标系的原点在地球质心,Z轴指向BIH1984.0定义的协定地球极(CTP)方向,X轴指向BIH1984.0的零度子午面和CTP赤道的交点,Y轴和Z、X轴构成右手坐标系,也即是,它是一个地固坐标系。
可选地,绝对参考波束方位θ
R可以被定为X方向,也可以被定为Y方向,也可以被定为Z方向。值得注意的是,绝对参考波束方位θ
R不能按侧链路资源池配置,相反,所有的资源池必须参考同样的绝对参考波束方位。
另外,在本实施例中,为了方便起见,绝对参考波束方位θ
R可以被设置为0°
进一步,基于对前述绝对参考波束方位的描述,在所述目标数据对应的发送波束方位为第二波束方位的情况下,所述第一终端根据所述第二波束方位、所述绝对参考波束方位、所述目标资源池确定第三波束方位,所述第一终端基于所述第三波束方位发送所述目标数据。也就是说,如果所述第一终端向方位θ
t发送目标数据,那么,所述第一终端针对目标资源池(如第l个侧链路资源池)找到最佳的发送波束方位,即第三波束方位,并基于第三波束方位发送所述目标数据。
可选地,所述第一终端在根据所述第二波束方位、所述绝对参考波束方位、所述目标资源池确定第三波束方位时,可参考式
计算所述第三波束方位,其中,k
opt表示所述第三波束方位的波束索引,θ
t表示所述第二波束方位,θ
R表示所述绝对参考波束方位,
表示所述目标资源池中的波束偏移量,
所述目标资源池中的波束宽度,
当然,所述第一终端在基于目标资源池传输目标数据之前,还可发送第二SCI给第二终端,所述第二SCI中可以携带有目标资源池的时域资源(如时隙信息)、频域资源(如子信道信息)、空域资源(如波束索引k)等信息,使得该第二终端可根据该第二SCI中携带的目标资源池的信息以及绝对参考波束方位θ
R确定接收波束方位。可以理解,与所述第一终端类似,所述第二终端中被配置有至少一个侧链路资源池以及绝对参考波束方位。
例如,所述第二终端在获知所述第一终端的第一位置坐标后,可根据自身的位置坐标计算出波束索引k所指示的接收波束方位,再根据自己的接收状态判断是否在被指示的接收波束方位、时隙中接收目标数据,如果所述第二终端决定接收波束索引k所指示的目标数据,那么,所述第二终端匹配最佳的接收波束方位,并接收和解码所述目标数据。
可以理解,所述第二终端在判断是否接收目标数据时,除了可根据自己的接收状态确定,还可根据第二SCI中被指示的目标数据的优先级(也即优先度)、其他与波束赋形相关的信息等,综合判断是否在被指示的空域资源、时域资源或频域资源上接收所述目标数据。
一种实现方式,本申请中所提及的第一终端的第一位置坐标(包括位置坐标和/或方位)以及第二终端的位置坐标、第三终端的地理位置等,均可通过自身配置的位置检测装置获取。例如,所述位置检测装置至少可以包括陀螺仪(Gyroscope)、GPS定位装置、北斗定位装置等。其中,所述陀螺仪可利用角动量守恒原理来感测与维持其自身的方位,进而使得终端能够准确把握自身的天线指向。
本实现方式1中,通过绝对参考波束方位进行目标资源池的确定,进而基于目标资源池传输目标数据,其实现简单、且波束方位确定准确,能够进一步确保侧链路通信的可靠性。
实现方式2
如果所述第一信息包括相对参考波束方位,那么,所述第一终端、所述第二终端无需时刻把握自己的天线指向,而是可以通过网络侧设备(如gNB等)、终端与终端间的关系(即相对参考波束方位)进行目标资源池的确定,从而提高侧链路通信的灵活性。
可以理解,当所述第一终端同时支持绝对参考波束方位和相对参考波束方位的情况下,网络侧设备可以根据所述第一终端的第一能力确定所述第一终端是基于绝对参考波束方位还是相对参考波束方位确定目标资源池。也就是,所述网络侧设备可以根据终端的能力灵活的配置资源池的参考波束方位(基于绝对参考波束方位还是相对参考波束方位)。
在此情况下,所述网络侧设备可首先根据所述第一终端的第一能力确定第二指示信号,进而发送所述第二指示信号给所述第一终端,以指示所述第一终端是根据所述绝对参考波束方位还是所述相对参考波束方位从至少一个所述侧链路资源池中选取目标资源池。其中,所述第一能力用于表征所述第一终端是否支持第一位置坐标的获取,所述第一位置坐标包括所述第一终端的位置坐标和/或所述第一终端的方位。
基于此,考虑到NR侧链路的同步可以通过网络侧设备(如gNB)或通过全球导航卫星系统(Global Navigation Satellite System,GNSS)或通过第三终端(SyncRef UE),同步信号(如SSB或CSI-RS等)可以由SyncRef UE在侧链路中传输。如终端可以根据gNB或GNSS的时钟进行同步,这种同步进程相应比较简单。如果UE只能根据SyncRef UE的时钟进行同步,这种同步进程就相对比较复杂。
例如,UE一旦检测到侧链路同步信号(SLSS)并识别出SyncRef UE发 送的侧链路主同步信号(Sidelink-Primary Synchronisation Signal,S-PSS)和侧链路辅同步信号(Sidelink-Secondary Synchronisation Signal,S-SSS),便可以确定SyncRef UE的SLSS标识(ID)。因此,S-SSB内的SLSS传输也传达了SyncRef UE的SLSS ID。作为NR Uu链路中的SSB结构,S-SSB结构支持每个S-SSB使用不同波束的传输。如,使用波束扫描的方法,如果是单播通信,UE间可以相互协商然后对齐波束的方向。但是在组播通信和广播通信中,SyncRef UE不知道Rx UE的接收波束情况,因此如何通过同步进程来决定相对参考波束是决定FR2侧链路通信的关键。值得注意的是,在同步过程中,UE间还无法建立其相关单播通信链路。
基于此,所述相对参考波束方位的确定有以下(11)和(12)两种场景。第一种场景是,UE通过网络侧设备来决定相对参考波束方位。第二种场景是,UE通过自身和SyncRef UE方位的关系来决定所述相对参考波束方位。下面分别对两种场景下的相对参考波束方位确定过程进行说明。
(11)在所述第一终端处于网络侧设备的网络覆盖范围内的情况下,所述第一终端根据网络侧设备的波束方位和波束索引确定所述相对参考波束方位。也就是说,当所述第一终端处于网络覆盖范围内时,可根据网络侧设备发送的波束方位和波束索引确定所述相对参考波束。
例如,网络侧设备(如gNB)可根据自身的地理位置确定所有FR2相关的侧链路资源池的相对波束参考方向,并在FR2中周期性地发送同步信号,如SSB,所述第一终端根据自身的第一位置坐标(如地理位置)和gNB的地理位置、gNB发送的波束方位和波束索引推导出相关侧链路资源池的相对波束参考方向,最后可以使用所选的目标资源池发送物理副链路控制信道(Physical SideLink Control Channel,PSCCH)/物理副链路共享信道(Physical SideLink Shared Channel,PSSCH)信号,以及第二终端可以使用所选的目标资源池接收PSCCH/PSSCH信号。
值得注意的是,为了对齐所有同步UE的发射波束,所述网络侧设备在 发送第一DCI时,该第一DCI中需要包括第一发射波束的传输配置指示(Transmission Configuration Indicator,TCI)以及网络侧设备的地理位置,使得第二终端可基于TCI和网络侧设备的地理位置推导出相对参考波束方位。
也就是,所述第一终端可接收所述网络侧设备发送的第一DCI,所述第一DCI中至少包括第一TCI以及所述网络侧设备的地理位置,所述第一TCI为所述网络侧设备发送所述第一DCI时的第一发射波束的TCI,所述第一发射波束与FR2相关、且由所述网络侧设备根据自身的地理位置确定。所述第一终端根据所述第一发射波束的波束方位和波束索引、第一位置坐标以及所述网络侧设备的地理位置,确定所述相对参考波束方位,所述第一位置坐标至少包括所述第一终端的位置坐标。
示例性的,如图6c所示,gNB通过Uu链路的发送SSB和Tx UE(第一终端)进行波束对齐。Tx UE根据波束索引k
1,同时通过gNB和自身的地理位置决定相对参考波束方位。Tx UE决定FR1信令资源和FR2数据包发送资源(包括侧链路资源池索引m
2和发送波束索引k
2),Rx UE(第二终端)根据FR1上接收到的TX UE发送的SCI控制信令,决定是否在FR2上接收非控制信令,如数据包。
(12)在所述第一终端未处于网络覆盖范围内的情况下,所述第一终端根据第三终端的波束方位和波束索引确定所述相对参考波束方位,所述第三终端为所述第一终端的同步参考终端。也就是说,当所述第一终端不在网络覆盖范围内时,所述相对参考波束方位可以由第三终端(SyncRef UE)自身确定。
例如,SyncRef UE确定所有FR2相关资源池的相对波束参考方向,并在FR2中周期性地发送同步信号,如SSB。此后,SyncRef UE使用所选的侧链路资源池通过PSCCH/PSSCH来传输数据包。第一终端根据自身的地理位置和SyncRef UE的地理位置推导出相关资源池的波束参考方位。最后第一终端可以使用所选的目标资源池发送PSCCH/PSSCH信号,以及第二终端可以使 用所选的目标资源池接收PSCCH/PSSCH信号。
值得注意的是,为了对齐所有同步UE的发射波束,所述SyncRef UE在发送第一SCI时,该第一SCI中至少需要包括所述SyncRef UE的地理位置以及第二TCI,所述第二TCI是所述第三终端发送所述第一SCI时的第二发射波束的TCI;所述第一终端根据所述第二发射波束的波束方位和波束索引、第一位置坐标以及所述第三终端的地理位置,确定所述相对参考波束方位。
示例性的,如图6d所示,SyncRef UE通过发送同步信号,如SSB,所有在SyncRef UE附近的UE(如TX UE)在波束方向k
1通过接收SSB获取相对参考波束方位的信息,进而决定FR1信令资源和FR2数据包发送资源(包括发送波束索引k
2),Rx UE根据接收到TX UE发送的第一SCI控制信令,决定是否在FR2上接收目标数据,如数据包。
值得注意的是,由于SyncRef UE的移动和旋转,所述相对参考波束方位会逐渐变化,因此,通过SyncRef UE同步的UE需要跟随SyncRef UE的移动和旋转,相应地调整相对参考波束方位。
当然,与前述绝对参考波束方位对应,基于对前述两种场景下的相对参考波束方式的描述,在所述目标数据对应的发送波束方位为第二波束方位的情况下,所述第一终端根据所述第二波束方位、所述相对参考波束方位、所述目标资源池确定第三波束方位,所述第一终端基于所述第三波束方位发送所述目标数据。
可选地,所述第一终端可根据式
确定第三波束方位,其中,k
opt表示所述第三波束方位的波束索引,θ
t表示所述第二波束方位,θ
R表示所述相对参考波束方位或所述相对参考波束方位,
表示所述目标资源池中的波束偏移量,
所述目标资源池中的波束宽度,
基于对前述相对参考波束的描述可知,在覆盖范围内的UE可通过接收gNB发送的同步信号(如SSB或CSI-RS信号)、gNB的地理坐标、自身的 第一位置坐标来确定相对参考波束。基于此,一般情况下,考虑到安装在gNB的天线阵是固定的,所有gNB可以决定相对参考波束方位,且gNB根据参考波束方位决定发送波束方位,并通过发送波束索引的方法通知接收UE,如TXUE、RX UE。Rx UE接收SSB或CSI-RS信号并决定相对参考波束方位。如果接收UE判断自己是SyncRef UE,SyncRef UE也会发送SSB信号或CSI-RS信号,Rx UE接收S-SSB或CSI-RS信号并决定参考波束方位。
例如,如图6e所示,gNB发送SSB或CSI-RS信号,Tx UE1和Rx UE1接收SSB或CSI-RS信号,并根据gNB的地理位置、以及自身的第一位置坐标、接收到的波束索引,各自决定自己的相对参考波束方位。
可选地,如果由于Tx UE1从gNB接收到的参考信号接收功率(ReferenceSignal Receiving Power,RSRP)低于设定的阈值,则Tx UE1成为SyncRef UE并发送S-SSB或CSI-RS信号。或者,Rx UE2接收到SyncRef UE发送的S-SSB或CSI-RS信号,根据SyncRef UE和自己的地理位置计算出相对参考波束方位。
本实现方式2中,通过相对参考波束方位进行目标资源池的确定,进而基于目标资源池传输目标数据,不仅能够进一步确保侧链路通信的可靠性,还可以提高侧链路通信的灵活性。
实现方式3
如果所述第一信息包括第一指示信号,那么,所述第一终端在根据第一指示信号确定目标资源池时,需要根据第一终端自身选择的频谱和是否在网络侧设备(如gNB)的覆盖(Coverage)范围内而定。基于此,本实现方式中通过两种场景进行说明,其中,场景1是TX UE(即第一终端)位于gNB的覆盖范围内、且仅在FR2上发送控制信令和非控制信令(如数据包)。场景2是TX UE可以位于gNB的覆盖范围内也可以位于gNB的覆盖范围外,且其使用FR1发送控制信令、使用FR2发送非控制信令。下面分别对两种场景下的目标资源池的确定方过程进行说明。
(21)由于波束赋形后的控制信令的波束方位存在局限性,Rx UE必须对控制信令进行盲检测,只有当Rx UE和Tx UE完成对齐的情况下,Rx UE才有机会获取控制信令中包含的波束方位信息,因此,在所述第一终端在FR2频段上发送控制信令和/或非控制信令、且处于网络覆盖范围内的情况下,如果利用TCI来指示Tx UE和Rx UE的准共址(QCL)关系的成功率不高,且TX UE很难通过自身的控制信令预先通知发送波束方位信息给RX UE。
对此,Tx UE通过Mode-1的方法从gNB获取发送资源信息,即,gNB发送第二DCI给其网络覆盖范围内的UE,如第一终端、第二终端,其中第二DCI包括预约的发送资源信息,如发送波束方位信息(用TCI状态来表示)等。相应的,所述第一终端可根据所述第二DCI中包括的发送资源信息从至少一个侧链路资源池中确定所述目标资源池。
一种实现方式中,所述第二DCI专用于向所述第一终端和/或第二终端指示目标资源,所述目标资源至少包括所述第一终端预约的发送资源信息。也就是说,所述第二DCI是新引入的DCI格式。
另外,所述第二DCI可通过第一无线网络临时标识(Radio Network Temporary Identifier,RNTI,如SL-FR2-RNTI)进行加扰,且所述第一RNTI专用于所述第二DCI、但所述第一RNTI通用于所述第一终端、所述第二终端以及除所述第一终端和所述第二终端之外的其他终端,也就是说,多个终端均可通过第一RNTI对所述第二DCI解扰。
此外,作为另一种实现方式,所述第二DCI中还可包括所述第一终端的终端源层二标识(Source L2-ID);其中,具有相同的所述Source L2-ID的终端能够使用通过所述第二DCI预约的发送资源信息进行侧链路数据的发送;具有不同的所述Source L2-ID的终端能够判断通过第二DCI预约的发送资源信息、但不能使用通过所述第二DCI预约的发送资源信息进行侧链路数据的发送。
也就是说,为了让其他Rx UE也能检测到第二DCI指示的发送资源信息, 所述第二DCI还可包含Tx UE的UE源L2-ID(Source L2-ID),从而使得拥有相同源L2-ID的Tx UE能够判断使用由第二DCI预约的发送资源来发送侧链路数据,而其他UE能够判断由第二DCI预约的发送资源信息。
示例性的,如图6f所示,为本申请一示例性实施例提供的侧链路通信交互流程示意图,内容如下。
S611,gNB通过第二RRC为TX UE和RXUE配置侧链路资源池信息,其中包括参考波束信息。
S612,gNB发送第二DCI给TX UE和RX UE,该第二DCI中包括第一RNTI、TX UE源ID以及相关的TCI状态信息。
S613,TX UE、RXUE根据第二RNTI接收第二DCI,并获取波发送资源信息。
S614,TX UE根据发送资源信息从至少一个侧链路资源池中确定所述目标资源池,如发送资源和发送波束方位等。
S615,TX UE根据目标资源池(也即TCI状态)发送目标数据。
S616,RX UE进行波束对其并接收所述目标数据。
可以理解,本实现方式中给出的侧链路通信交互流程可以包括但不限于前述S611至S616。另外,关于S611至S616的实现过程可以参照前述方法实施例的相关描述,为避免重复,在此不再赘述。
(22)在所述第一终端在FR1频段上发送控制信令、在FR2频段上发送非控制信令、且所述第一终端和第二终端处于网络覆盖范围内的情况下,所述第一指示信号包括第一RRC信令,所述第一RRC信令中至少包括第一参考波束方位。那么,所述第一终端可根据第一位置坐标以及所述第一RRC中携带的第一参考波束方位确定所述目标资源池,如发送波束方位,所述第二终端可根据自身的位置坐标以及所述第一RRC中携带的第一参考波束方位确定所述目标资源池。
也就说,在此场景下,如果TX UE和RX UE均在gNB的覆盖范围内, gNB可通过第一RRC信令配置侧链路资源池的相关信息,如第一参考波束方位等。Tx UE通过第一参考波束方位和自身的第一位置坐标决定发送波束方位,Rx UE通过第一参考波束方位和自身的位置坐标决定接收波束方位。
具体地,Tx UE通过FR1发送SCI控制信令,其中包括FR2相关频域资源和时域资源,也包括FR2相关的波束方位信息。由于Tx UE可以通过FR1全向波束发送信息,因此每个Rx UE都有机会接收到通过FR1发送的SCI控制信令。Tx UE通过FR2发送数据包,而Rx UE根据自身的接收状态决定是否接收Tx UE发来的数据包。如果Rx UE决定接收Tx UE发来的目标数据,Rx UE将对齐Tx UE的发射波束方位,并接收解码目标数据。
示例性的,如图6g所示,为本申请一示例性实施例提供的侧链路通信交互流程示意图,内容如下。
S621,gNB通过第二RRC为TX UE和RXUE配置侧链路资源池信息,其中包括参考波束信息。
S622,TX UE通过FR1发送第二SCI给RX UE,该第二SCI中包括目标资源池的相关信息。
S623,RX UE通过FR1接收第二SCI控制信令,并决定是否接收TX UE发送的目标数据。
S624,TX UE根据目标资源池(也即TCI状态)发送目标数据。
S625,RX UE进行波束对其并接收所述目标数据。
可以理解,本实现方式中给出的侧链路通信交互流程可以包括但不限于前述S621至S625。另外,关于S621至S625的实现过程可以参照前述方法实施例的相关描述,为避免重复,在此不再赘述。

也就是说,如果接收和发送UE在gNB的覆盖范围外,UE通过接收SyncRef UE(同步参考UE)发送的同步信号,如SSB,并根据SyncRef UE和自身的地理位置决定发送和接收的相对参考波束方位。
具体地,当Tx UE获取到相对参考波束方位信的息后,Tx UE可以通过FR1发送第二SCI控制信令给RX UE,第二SCI控制信令中包括FR2相关频域和时域资源,也包括FR2相关波束方位信息。Tx UE在FR2上发送数据包,而Rx UE根据自身的接收状态决定是否接收Tx UE发来的数据包。如果Rx UE决定接收Tx UE发来的数据包,Rx UE将对齐Tx UE的发射波束方位,并接收解码目标数据。
示例性的,如图6h所示,为本申请一示例性实施例提供的侧链路通信交互流程示意图,内容如下。
S631,SyncRef UE发送SSB信号。
S632,TX UE和RX UE接收SSB信号,并根据SSB信号对应的第二接收波束的波束方位以及相关索引确定相对参考波束方位。
S633,TX UE通过FR1发送第二SCI给RX UE。
S634,RX UE通过FR1接收第二SCI控制信令,并决定是否接收TX UE发送的目标数据。
S635,TX UE通过FR2发送目标数据。
S636,RX UE通过FR2接收所述目标数据。
可以理解,本实现方式中给出的侧链路通信交互流程可以包括但不限于前述S631至S636。另外,关于S631至S636的实现过程可以参照前述方法实施例的相关描述,为避免重复,在此不再赘述。
