Detailed Description

The technical solution in the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The technical scheme of the embodiment of the application can be applied to various communication systems, for example: a Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) System, a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) System, a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) System, a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), a Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE) System, an LTE Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) System, an LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD), a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), a Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) communication System, a future fifth Generation (5G) System, or a New Radio Network (NR), etc.

Terminal equipment in the embodiments of the present application may refer to user equipment, access terminals, subscriber units, subscriber stations, mobile stations, remote terminals, mobile devices, user terminals, wireless communication devices, user agents, or user devices. The terminal device may also be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a handheld device with Wireless communication function, a computing device or other processing device connected to a Wireless modem, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a terminal device in a future 5G Network or a terminal device in a future evolved Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), and the like, which are not limited in this embodiment.

The Network device in this embodiment may be a device for communicating with a terminal device, where the Network device may be a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) in a Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) System or a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) System, may also be a Base Station (NodeB, NB) in a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) System, may also be an evolved node b (eNB, or eNodeB) in an LTE System, may also be a wireless controller in a Cloud Radio Access Network (CRAN) scenario, or may be a relay Station, an Access point, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a Network device in a future 5G Network, or a Network device in a future evolved PLMN Network, and the like, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the present application. The communication system in fig. 1 may comprise a user equipment 10 and a network device 20. The network device 20 is used to provide a communication service to the user equipment 10 and access a core network, and the user equipment 10 accesses the network by searching for a synchronization signal, a broadcast signal, or the like transmitted by the network device 20, thereby performing communication with the network. The arrows shown in fig. 1 may represent uplink/downlink transmissions over a cellular link between the user equipment 10 and the network equipment 20.

The NR system supports uplink beamforming to improve the coverage of uplink transmission, but for uplink transmission. In order to ensure that the terminal device can use a correct transmission beam, and the network device can estimate a reception beam which the network device should adopt according to the transmission beam of the terminal device, the concept of beam indication is introduced into the NR, that is, the network device indicates a beam for uplink transmission by an explicit or implicit indication mode, so that the terminal device can acquire the beam for uplink transmission according to the indication mode.

In the NR system, a network device may configure an uplink resource for a terminal device to transmit a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), and the terminal device transmits the SRS on the uplink resource, so that the network device may perform measurement of an uplink channel according to the SRS, that is, may calculate a relevant parameter of the uplink channel. For example, the related parameter may be a Channel Quality Indication (CQI), a Reference Signal Reception Power (RSRP), Channel State Information (CSI), and the like, wherein the CSI generally includes at least one of channel quality information or transmission precoding information or transmission rank information.

The beam may refer to a precoding vector having a certain energy transmission directivity, and the precoding vector may be identified by index information, where the energy transmission directivity is that, in a certain spatial position, a signal subjected to precoding processing by the precoding vector has a better receiving power, such as meeting a receiving demodulation signal-to-noise ratio, and in other spatial positions, a signal subjected to precoding processing by the precoding vector has a lower receiving power, such as not meeting the receiving demodulation signal-to-noise ratio. Different communication devices may have different precoding vectors, i.e. correspond to different beams, and one communication device may use one or more of a plurality of different precoding vectors at the same time, i.e. may form one beam or a plurality of beams at the same time, in view of the configuration or capability of the communication device. The beams may be defined as spatial resources. A beam may be identified by index Information, where the index Information may be configured with a corresponding resource ID of the user, such as an ID of a Channel-State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) configured for a certain user, or an ID of a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) configured for a certain user, or alternatively, the index Information may also be index Information that is displayed or implicitly carried by a specific Signal or Channel carried by the beam, including but not limited to index Information that sends a synchronization Signal through the beam or indicates the beam through a broadcast Channel.

At present, in the NR system, the network device may also perform beam measurement according to the SRS, that is, the network device selects an appropriate receiving beam according to the SRS, and selects an appropriate transmitting beam for the terminal device, and configures the appropriate transmitting beam to the terminal device. In order to improve the coverage of uplink transmission, the terminal device may configure multiple antenna panels, where each antenna panel may form at least one beam at the same time and form different beams at different times. When performing uplink beam training, the network device needs to configure different SRS uplink resources for different uplink beams. In order to reduce the overhead of configuring SRS resources, NR introduces the concept of SRS resource set or resource group (SRS resource group), and for convenience of description, the following embodiments take SRS resource set as an example for illustration, but the invention is not limited thereto. One SRS resource set includes one or more SRS resources, and the network device may configure the one or more SRS resource sets for the terminal device to implement beam measurement.

Specifically, SRS resources in one SRS resource set cannot be used for terminal equipment to transmit SRS at the same time, for example, in one uplink symbol, only one SRS resource in the same SRS resource set can be used for terminal equipment to transmit SRS. However, two SRS resources belonging to different sets of SRS resources may be simultaneously used for transmitting SRS.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a transmission manner of SRS resources in an SRS resource set for terminal equipment to transmit SRS. It is assumed that the terminal device has N antenna panels, each of which can form one transmission beam at the same time, and that one antenna panel can form M beams in different directions at different times. If the network device configures N SRS resource sets for the terminal device, each SRS resource set includes M SRS resources. Since the SRS resources corresponding to different groups of SRS resources can be transmitted simultaneously, the terminal device can transmit at most N SRS at the same time, and transmit one SRS through one beam corresponding to each panel, and the N panels transmit M different SRS simultaneously.

In a conventional scheme, configuration information configuration resources are mainly used for beam training, and how to perform resource configuration needs to be solved urgently under the condition that the configuration information configuration resources may have multiple functions.

Fig. 3 shows a schematic flowchart of uplink data transmission according to an embodiment of the present application.

The uplink signal transmission includes two types, one is uplink Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) transmission based on a codebook, and the other is uplink MIMO transmission not based on a codebook.

301, the network device sends configuration information 1 to the terminal device, where the configuration information 1 is used to indicate SRS resources.

302, the terminal device transmits the SRS on the SRS resource indicated by the configuration information 1.

303, the network device determines an optimal beam according to the SRS.

Wherein, the steps 301-303 can be referred to as a beam training process.

304, the network device may also send configuration information 2 to the terminal device, where the configuration information 2 is used to indicate SRS resources.

The terminal device 305 transmits the SRS on the SRS resource indicated by the configuration information 2.

And 306, the network equipment determines a precoding vector/matrix needed to be used for uplink data transmission according to the SRS.

307, the network device sends control information, where the control information carries optimal beam information and/or precoding vectors/matrices needed for uplink data transmission.

It should be understood that the precoding vector/matrix may also be rank and precoding index information.

Step 304-307 may also be referred to as uplink CSI acquisition, i.e. uplink channel state measurement process.

308, the terminal equipment sends uplink data according to the control information.

In an embodiment, the network device may perform CSI measurement according to the SRS sent by the terminal device in step 302 to obtain a precoding vector/matrix. That is, the beam training process and the uplink channel state measurement process are performed simultaneously. That is, step 304 need not be performed as well as step 306.

In another embodiment, for a codebook-based scheme, the control information directly indicates the precoding vector/matrix that needs to be used for uplink data transmission.

In yet another embodiment, for non-codebook based schemes, the control information indirectly indicates the precoding vector/matrix that needs to be used for uplink data transmission. For example, the control information indicates that precoding required for uplink data transmission is consistent with precoding corresponding to one or more previous SRS resources, and the terminal device performs uplink data transmission according to the precoding vector/matrix.

The embodiment of the present application can be applied to any of the above embodiments.

Fig. 4 shows a schematic flow chart of a method of resource allocation of an embodiment of the present application.

The network device generates 401 first configuration information indicating a type of each of the at least one first set of resources.

Specifically, the plurality of resources in the resource set may be individually indicated, or may be collectively indicated, that is, information indicating only one first resource in the resource set, and the other resources in the resource set are the same as the information of the first resource.

It should be understood that the first resources included in different first resource sets of the at least one first resource set may be the same or different. The types of the at least one first resource set may be all the same, may also be partially the same, may also all be different, and the present application is not limited thereto.

Optionally, the network device may further generate second configuration information indicating the first resources included in each first resource set. This second configuration information may be the same as configuration information 1 in the embodiment shown in fig. 3.

In particular, the first resources may include frequency domain resources and ports.

It should be understood that the first configuration information and the second configuration information may be carried in the same signaling, which is not limited in this application. Optionally, the first configuration information may further include time domain resources, frequency hopping information, and/or the like.

In particular, the time domain resource may include one or more of a periodicity of the first resource transmission, a time unit offset, and the like.

Optionally, the network device may further send, to the terminal device, indication information for indicating a resource identifier of the first resource included in the first resource set.

For example, the indication information is used to indicate that the SRI1 and SRI3 belong to the first set of resources 1 and the SRI2, SRI4, and SRI5 belong to the second set of resources.

It should be understood that the indication information may be carried in the same signaling as the first configuration information, or the indication information and the second configuration information may be carried in the same signaling, or the indication information, the first configuration information, and the second configuration information may all be in the same signaling, which is not limited in this application.

Optionally, the types of the resource set include a first type, a second type and a third type, different resources in the resource set of the first type are used for transmitting uplink signals on different time units, each resource in the resource set of the second type is used for transmitting uplink signals on a first time unit, and a part of resources in the resource set of the third type is used for transmitting uplink signals on a second time unit.

Specifically, the resources in the resource set of the first type cannot simultaneously transmit the uplink signal on one time unit, that is, each resource in the resource set of the first type individually transmits the uplink signal on one time unit. All resources in the set of resources of the second type may transmit uplink signals on the same time unit. The resource set of the third type is applied to a scenario where the resource set includes a plurality of resources, and a part of the plurality of resources of more than one resource may transmit uplink signals on the same time unit.

It should be understood that the first time unit may be the same as or different from the second time unit, and only one time unit is indicated.

It should be noted that the time unit may be at least one of a frame, a subframe, a slot, a mini slot (mini slot) and a symbol.

Optionally, in the beam training process, the at least one first resource set indicated by the first configuration information determined by the network device may be a first resource set of a first type.

Specifically, the first resource is used for transmitting an SRS, and the network device may configure a first resource set of a first type for each panel of the terminal device in the beam training process. I.e. the number of first resource sets is the same as the number of antenna panels of the terminal device, the number of first resources comprised by the first resource sets may be the number of beams supported by the panel corresponding to the first resource sets.

Optionally, in the channel state measurement process, the at least one first resource set indicated by the first configuration information determined by the network device may be a resource set of the second type, or a resource set of the third type.

Specifically, the network device may determine whether the type of the first resource set is the second type or the third type according to an agreement with the terminal device. The at least one first resource set may be partially of the first resource set of the second type and partially of the first resource set of the third type.

Optionally, the network device or the terminal device may also determine the type of the first resource set according to the carrier frequency point.

Specifically, the network device may determine that the type of the first resource set is the second type when the carrier frequency point is less than or equal to 6 GHz.

Optionally, the network device may also agree with the terminal device about a mapping relationship between the type of the first resource set and the carrier frequency point, that is, the terminal device may determine the type of the first resource set according to the carrier frequency point, so that the network device does not need to specially indicate the type of the first resource set, thereby saving overhead of air interface resources.

Optionally, before the network device determines the first configuration information, the network device may further receive capability information sent by the terminal device.

In particular, the capability information comprises the number of the first set of resources, or the number of first resources comprised by the first set of resources.

In an embodiment, the network device sends the capability information to the terminal device, and the terminal device may perform configuration of a resource set according to the capability information in a conventional scheme, or may perform other operations according to the capability information, which is not limited in this application.

Optionally, the capability information may further include a number of ports included in each of the first resources.

Optionally, the capability information may further include a resource set type of the first resource set.

In particular, the network device may determine a resource set type for the first resource set from the capability information. If there is no reciprocal transmission and reception between the terminal device and the network device, the terminal device defaults that the first resource set in the reported capability information is of the first type. And if the terminal equipment and the network equipment have receiving and sending reciprocity, the terminal equipment defaults that the first resource set in the capability information is of a second type.

Optionally, the terminal device may carry the capability information through a high-level signaling, where the high-level signaling may include a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling or a Media Access Control Element (MAC CE) signaling.

402, the network device sends the first configuration information. Accordingly, the terminal device receives the first configuration information.

Optionally, in the beam training process, the first configuration information indicates that the type of each first resource set is a first type.

Specifically, the first configuration information may respectively indicate that the type of each first resource set is a first type, or may only indicate that the type of one of the first resource sets is the first type, and the types of the other first resource sets are the same as the type of the first resource set, which is not limited in this application.

Optionally, the network device may also send, to the terminal device, second configuration information indicating the first resources included in each first resource set.

Optionally, in the channel measurement process, the first configuration information may also indicate that the type of the at least one first resource set is the second type or the third type.

Optionally, the first configuration information includes at least one resource identifier in a plurality of resource identifiers, and the plurality of resource identifiers are in one-to-one correspondence with all first resources included in the at least one first resource set.

In particular, the first configuration information may include at least one resource identifier of the plurality of resource identifiers, i.e. the first configuration information may configure a part of all first resources included in the at least one resource set. All the first resources included in the at least one first resource set respectively correspond to one first resource. The resource identifier may be used to indicate a beam for uplink transmission corresponding to the corresponding first resource, and for a scenario where one antenna panel can only generate one beam in one time unit, the network device may indicate the resource in the first resource set through the resource identifier.

For example, the first resources are SRS resources, the first configuration information is used to indicate each of 2 first resource sets, one first resource set includes 2 first resources, and another first resource set includes 3 first resources. The first configuration information may include 5 SRS Resource Identities (SRIs), SRIs 0, SRIs 1, SRIs 2, SRIs 3, SRIs 4, and SRIs 5, respectively.

Optionally, the first configuration information including the resource identifier may be carried in higher layer signaling. In particular, the higher layer signaling may include RRC signaling or MAC CE signaling.

Optionally, the first configuration information includes at least one resource set identifier in a plurality of resource set identifiers and at least one resource identifier in a plurality of resource identifiers, where the plurality of resource set identifiers correspond to the at least one resource set one to one, and the plurality of resource identifiers correspond to all first resources included in the first resource set one to one.

In particular, the first configuration information may include a resource set identification and a resource identification. The resource set identifier is used for indicating one of the at least one first resource set, and the resource identifier is used for indicating the resources in one first resource set.

For example, the first configuration information is used to indicate each of 2 first resource sets, and one first resource set includes 2 first resources and another first resource set includes 2 first resources. The first configuration information may include resource set identification (group) and resource identification (SRI) and may be indicated as SRS group1+ SRI1, SRS group1+ SRI2, SRS group2+ SRI1, and SRS group2+ SRI2, respectively.

Optionally, the resource set identifier and the resource identifier may be respectively carried in different information, specifically, the resource identifier may be carried in control information (DCI), and the resource set identifier may be carried in higher layer signaling or physical layer signaling.

Optionally, the first configuration Information may further include a Channel State Information Reference Signal resource identity (CRI). The CRI is used to indicate that the downlink receiving beam and the uplink transmitting beam of the terminal device satisfy beam consistency, that is, the uplink receiving beam can be obtained according to the downlink receiving beam, and the optimal uplink transmitting beam is obtained through downlink beam training.

Optionally, the CRI may also indicate that the precoding of the downlink signal is the same as the precoding of the uplink signal. Therefore, the signal transmission efficiency is improved under the scene that the uplink and the downlink are not reciprocal.

For example, if the first resource is used for transmitting SRS, the CRI may indicate that the beam or precoding used when SRS in each SRS resource set is transmitted is the same as the receive beam or precoding used when CSI-RS corresponding to the CRI is received.

Optionally, if the first resource is used for transmitting the SRS, and the resource set type of the first resource set in the at least one first resource set is the first type, the network device sends third configuration information to the terminal device, where the third configuration information is used to indicate that the resource set type of the second resource set in the at least one second resource set is the second type or the third type.

Specifically, the second resource may also be used for transmitting the SRS, the terminal device may transmit the SRS in the second resource, and the network device may perform channel state measurement to obtain precoding for uplink data transmission. That is, the network device performs beam training and channel state measurements, and the network device configures the set of resources for beam training to be of the first type.

Optionally, the second resource includes a plurality of antenna ports, the fourth configuration information includes a plurality of resource identifiers, and at least one antenna port in the at least one second resource set corresponds to a resource identifier included in the first configuration information.

Specifically, the number of antenna ports included in the second resource may be the total number of uplink antenna ports supported by the terminal device, or the number of ports included in each first resource in the capability information reported by the terminal device. The at least one antenna port included in the second resource corresponds to a resource identifier included in the first configuration information, and the antenna port included in the fourth configuration information corresponds to a resource identifier included in the first configuration information.

For example, the first configuration information includes SRI0, SRI1, and SRI 2. The second resource includes 4 antenna ports (ports): port0, port1, port2, port 3. Among them, port0 and port1 correspond to SRI0, and port2 and port3 correspond to SRI 1. I.e., the second configuration information includes at least SRI0 and SRI 1.

It should be understood that the number of antenna ports corresponding to one resource identifier of the first configuration information may be 1, 2, 4, or other values, which is not limited in this application.

It should also be understood that the number of antenna ports corresponding to different resource identifications in the first configuration information may be different.

Optionally, the fifth configuration information includes at least one bit, each value of the at least one bit corresponds to one SRI, and the terminal device determines the selected SRI according to the value of the at least one bit.

Optionally, the network device may further transmit sixth configuration information including the SRS group to the terminal device.

It should be understood that the sixth configuration information may be carried through DCI or may be carried through higher layer signaling.

Optionally, the sixth configuration information may also include at least one bit, where each bit corresponds to one resource set, and if the bit takes 1, the resource included in the resource set corresponding to the bit is selected. If the bit is 0, the resource included in the resource set corresponding to the bit is not selected.

Optionally, the sixth configuration information includes at least one bit, and a value of the at least one bit may also correspond to one resource set, so that the terminal device determines the selected resource set according to the value of the at least one bit.

Optionally, the DCI may further carry a Transmission Precoding Matrix Indicator (TPMI), where the TPMI is used to indicate Precoding used by uplink data.

Optionally, the DCI includes at least one bit, each bit may correspond to one index value, and each index value may correspond to one SRI and one TPMI, respectively, that is, the SRI and the TPMI are jointly indicated by one index value.

Optionally, if the resource configured by the network device for the terminal device to send the uplink data includes multiple SRIs, that is, multiple selected beams, the TPMI indicates precoding between antenna ports corresponding to the multiple beams. The port information of the precoding matrix indicated by the TPMI corresponds to the antenna ports of the plurality of SRSs one-to-one according to predefined or network configuration. One possible predefined way is that the antenna port numbers of multiple SRSs are renumbered according to SRI size, corresponding to the antenna ports in the TPMI. For example, two SRS, each SRS having 2 ports, the precoding matrix indicated by the TMPI has 4 rows, each row corresponding to one antenna port, the first two ports corresponding to antenna ports of SRI1, and the last two ports corresponding to antenna ports of SRI 2.

Optionally, multiple SRIs may be carried in different downlink control information, and each downlink control information is independently carried in one uplink scheduling information.

It should be understood that the uplink scheduling information may be uplink scheduling grants, which are all used for transmitting uplink data. Uplink data may be transmitted through an uplink physical channel, e.g., a physical uplink shared channel. The downlink control information may also be referred to as scheduling information.

Optionally, the number of antenna ports corresponding to the TPMI may be the total number of uplink antenna ports of the terminal device, or may be the number of antenna ports corresponding to the selected SRI.

For example, if m first resources are selected, each resource is an n antenna port, the number of antenna ports for corresponding uplink data transmission is m × n, and accordingly, TPMI is a codeword in a codebook with the number of antenna ports being m × n, that is, row data in a precoding vector or matrix is m × n.
