Description

A method and device used in a node for wireless communication Technical Field

The present application relates to a transmission method and device in a wireless communication system, and in particular to a transmission method and device for wireless signals in a wireless communication system supporting a cellular network.

Background Art

In the existing NR (New Radio) system, spectrum resources are statically divided into FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) spectrum and TDD (Time Division Duplex) spectrum. For TDD spectrum, both base stations and UE (User Equipment) operate in half-duplex mode. This half-duplex mode avoids self-interference and can alleviate the impact of cross-link interference (Cross Link Interference, CLI), but it also brings problems such as reduced resource utilization and increased latency. To address these problems, supporting flexible duplex modes or variable link directions (uplink or downlink or flexible) on TDD spectrum or FDD spectrum has become a possible solution. At the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partner Project) RAN (Radio Access Network) 1#103e meeting, it was agreed to study duplex technology, especially the SubBand non-overlapping Full Duplex (SBFD) mode at the gNB (NR Node B) side. In this mode, the same symbol will be used for uplink in part of the frequency resources and for downlink in another part of the frequency resources, so resource utilization is improved and latency is reduced.

3GPP introduced a 2-step RA type procedure in NR Release-16. The MsgA (Message A) of the 2-step random access procedure includes a random access preamble and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) payload. The random access preamble is sent on a PRACH opportunity, and the physical uplink shared channel payload is sent on a PUSCH opportunity. The time-frequency resources used for the transmission of the physical uplink shared channel payload in MsgA are preconfigured, and some PUSCH opportunities may be invalid due to some resource conflicts.

Summary of the invention

After introducing symbols indicated as downlink symbols by uplink and downlink TDD configuration signaling and available for uplink transmission, how to enhance PUSCH opportunities is an important issue to be considered in order to improve random access performance; the present application discloses solutions to the above problems. It should be noted that the present application can be applied to a variety of wireless communication scenarios, such as scenarios using SBFD mode, scenarios using other types of full-duplex modes other than SBFD, scenarios using more flexible duplex modes, scenarios supporting only half-duplex modes, etc., and achieve similar technical effects. In addition, the use of a unified solution for different scenarios (including but not limited to scenarios using SBFD mode, scenarios using other types of full-duplex modes other than SBFD, scenarios using more flexible duplex modes, and scenarios supporting only half-duplex modes) can also help reduce hardware complexity and cost, or improve performance. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in any node of the present application can be applied to any other node. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other arbitrarily.

Example 4

Embodiment 4 shows a schematic diagram of a first communication device and a second communication device according to the present application, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 is a block diagram of a first communication device 410 and a second communication device 450 communicating with each other in an access network.

The first communication device 410 includes a controller/processor 475 , a memory 476 , a receive processor 470 , a transmit processor 416 , a multi-antenna receive processor 472 , a multi-antenna transmit processor 471 , a transmitter/receiver 418 and an antenna 420 .

The second communication device 450 includes a controller/processor 459, a memory 460, a data source 467, a transmit processor 468, a receive processor 456, a multi-antenna transmit processor 457, a multi-antenna receive processor 458, a transmitter/receiver 454 and an antenna 452.

In transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, at the first communication device 410, upper layer data packets from the core network are provided to the controller/processor 475. The controller/processor 475 implements the functionality of the L2 layer. In transmission from the first communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, the controller/processor 475 provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, multiplexing between logical and transport channels, and radio resource allocation to the second communication device 450 based on various priority metrics. The controller/processor 475 is also responsible for retransmission of lost packets and signaling to the second communication device 450. The transmit processor 416 and the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 implement various signal processing functions for the L1 layer (i.e., the physical layer). The transmit processor 416 implements coding and interleaving to facilitate forward error correction (FEC) at the second communication device 450, as well as mapping of signal constellations based on various modulation schemes (e.g., binary phase shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), M-phase shift keying (M-PSK), M-quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM)). The multi-antenna transmit processor 471 performs digital spatial precoding on the coded and modulated symbols, including codebook-based precoding and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming processing to generate one or more spatial streams. The transmit processor 416 then maps each spatial stream to a subcarrier, multiplexes it with a reference signal (e.g., a pilot) in the time domain and/or frequency domain, and then uses an Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) to generate a physical channel carrying a time domain multi-carrier symbol stream. The multi-antenna transmit processor 471 then performs a transmit analog precoding/beamforming operation on the time domain multi-carrier symbol stream. Each transmitter 418 converts the baseband multi-carrier symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 into a radio frequency stream, which is then provided to different antennas 420.

In the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, at the second communication device 450, each receiver 454 receives a signal through its corresponding antenna 452. Each receiver 454 recovers the information modulated onto the RF carrier and converts the RF stream into a baseband multi-carrier symbol stream and provides it to the receiving processor 456. The receiving processor 456 and the multi-antenna receiving processor 458 implement various signal processing functions of the L1 layer. The multi-antenna receiving processor 458 performs a receiving analog precoding/beamforming operation on the baseband multi-carrier symbol stream from the receiver 454. The receiving processor 456 uses Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to convert the baseband multi-carrier symbol stream after the receiving analog precoding/beamforming operation from the time domain to the frequency domain. In the frequency domain, the physical layer data signal and the reference signal are demultiplexed by the receiving processor 456, where the reference signal will be used for channel estimation, and the data signal is recovered after multi-antenna detection in the multi-antenna receiving processor 458 to any spatial stream destined for the second communication device 450. The symbols on each spatial stream are demodulated and recovered in the receiving processor 456, and soft decisions are generated. The receiving processor 456 then decodes and deinterleaves the soft decisions to recover the upper layer data and control signals transmitted by the first communication device 410 on the physical channel. The upper layer data and control signals are then provided to the controller/processor 459. The controller/processor 459 implements the functions of the L2 layer. The controller/processor 459 may be associated with a memory 460 that stores program codes and data. The memory 460 may be referred to as a computer-readable medium. In the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, the controller/processor 459 provides multiplexing between transport and logical channels, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing to recover the upper layer data packets from the core network. The upper layer data packets are then provided to all protocol layers above the L2 layer. Various control signals may also be provided to L3 for L3 processing.

In the transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, at the second communication device 450, a data source 467 is used to provide upper layer data packets to the controller/processor 459. The data source 467 represents all protocol layers above the L2 layer. Similar to the transmission function at the first communication device 410 described in the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, the controller/processor 459 implements header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between logical and transport channels based on radio resource allocation, and implements L2 layer functions for user plane and control plane. The controller/processor 459 is also responsible for the retransmission of lost packets and signaling to the first communication device 410. The transmit processor 468 performs modulation mapping and channel coding processing, and the multi-antenna transmit processor 457 performs digital multi-antenna spatial precoding, including codebook-based precoding and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming processing. Then, the transmit processor 468 modulates the generated spatial stream into a multi-carrier/single-carrier symbol stream, which is then provided to different antennas 452 via the transmitter 454 after analog precoding/beamforming operations in the multi-antenna transmit processor 457. Each transmitter 454 first converts the baseband symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmit processor 457 into a radio frequency symbol stream, and then provides it to the antenna 452.

In the transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, the function at the first communication device 410 is similar to the reception function at the second communication device 450 described in the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450. Each receiver 418 receives the RF signal through its corresponding antenna 420, converts the received RF signal into a baseband signal, and provides the baseband signal to the multi-antenna reception processor 472 and the reception processor 470. The reception processor 470 and the multi-antenna reception processor 472 jointly Implement L1 layer functions. Controller/processor 475 implements L2 layer functions. Controller/processor 475 may be associated with memory 476 that stores program codes and data. Memory 476 may be referred to as a computer-readable medium. In transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, the controller/processor 475 provides demultiplexing between transport and logical channels, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, control signal processing to recover upper layer data packets from UE450.
