Technical field

The present disclosure relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to an information transmission method, a network device, and a terminal in an unlicensed frequency band.

Background technique

In the future 5th Generation (5G) communication system, or New Radio (NR) system, the unlicensed band can be used as a supplement to the licensed band to help operate. Businesses expand their services. In keeping with NR deployments and maximizing NR-based unlicensed access as much as possible, unlicensed bands can operate in the 5 GHz, 37 GHz, and 60 GHz bands. The large bandwidth (80MHz or 100MHz) of the unlicensed band can reduce the implementation complexity of network devices and terminals. The unlicensed band is shared by a variety of radio access technologies (RATs), such as Wireless Fidelity (WiFi), radar, and Long Term Evolution License Assisted Access (LTE-). LAA), etc. Therefore, in some countries or regions, unlicensed bands must be used in accordance with certain regulations to ensure that all devices can use the resources fairly, such as Listen Before Talk (LBT). Rules such as Maximum Channel Occupancy Time (MCOT).

In the NR system, the maximum channel bandwidth (Channel Bandwidth) of each carrier can reach 400 MHz. However, considering the terminal capability, the maximum bandwidth supported by the terminal can be less than 400 MHz, and the terminal can work on multiple small bandwidth parts (BWP). Each bandwidth portion corresponds to a Numerology, Bandwidth, and Frequency Location. The network device can configure more than one BWP for the terminal. At this time, the network device needs to tell the terminal which BWP to work on, that is, which BWP is activated. The activation or deactivation of the BWP can be indicated by Downlink Control Information (DCI) signaling. After receiving the activation or deactivation command, the terminal transmits on the corresponding active BWP (active BWP). In the unlicensed frequency band, the network device or the terminal needs to perform channel sensing before transmitting on the activated BWP, and the information can be transmitted when the channel is empty. When channel listening is performed only for the activated BWP, if the channel is detected to be busy, the network device or the terminal cannot transmit, but the network device configures other inactive BWPs for the terminal may be idle, and this part of the resources will be waste.

It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged where appropriate, such that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented, for example, in a sequence other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "comprises" and "comprises" and "the" and "the" are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to Those steps or units may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products or devices.

As shown in FIG. 1 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information transmission method in an unlicensed frequency band, which is applied to a network device, and specifically includes the following steps:

Step 11: Listening to the transmission channel of at least one BWP in the first bandwidth part BWP in the unlicensed frequency band, respectively, to obtain a channel sensing result.

The first BWP is a BWP configured by the network device for the terminal, and the first BWP is a BWP configured by the network device for the terminal, which refers to the type of the BWP, not the number, and the network device can configure one or at least two for the terminal. BWP, these BWP can be called the first BWP.

The network device may configure at least two BWPs for the terminal, and respectively perform part or all of the configured at least two BWPs, in order to avoid the problem that the transmission cannot be transmitted only by listening to a specific BWP (such as activating an active BWP). Listening to know the channel listening result of the transmission channel of each BWP, thereby determining the BWP of the transmission channel idle as the active BWP according to the channel sensing result.

Further, the step 11 is specifically: listening to the transmission channel of the first BWP of the secondary cell (Scell) in the unlicensed frequency band to obtain a channel listening result. The first BWP is at least one BWP configured by the network device as a secondary cell of the terminal.

Step 12: If the channel listening result indicates that there is a BWP in which the transmission channel is idle in the first BWP, select at least one BWP in the BWP in which the transmission channel is idle to determine the first active BWP.

If the channel listening result indicates that the BWP in the first BWP is free, the at least one BWP may be selected as the first active BWP in the BWP in which the transport channel is idle, wherein the selected number may be determined according to the terminal capability reported by the terminal. For example, the number of active BWPs supported by the terminal at the same time. It is worth noting that the network device determines, after the first activation of the BWP, which BWPs are the first active BWPs, so that the terminal activates the corresponding BWPs.

Step 13: Send information to the terminal on the first active BWP.

After determining the first active BWP, the network device sends downlink information to the terminal on the BWPs.

It should be noted that the terminal can simultaneously support one active BWP, or at least two activated BWPs for data transmission. The following embodiment will describe the information transmission method in the unlicensed frequency band in combination with different terminal capabilities.

Scene 1: The terminal supports only one active BWP at the same time.

Although the terminal supports only one active BWP at the same time, the network device can still configure at least two BWPs as candidate transmission resources for the terminal.

Specifically, step 11 includes: listening to all BWPs in the first BWP in the unlicensed frequency band, respectively, to obtain a channel listening result. That is, the network device listens to all configured BWPs (configured BWPs) of the terminal.

Step 12 specifically includes: when there is an active BWP used in the last transmission in the BWP in which the transmission channel is idle, then the activated BWP is the first active BWP; or, when the transmission channel is idle, there is no previous transmission used in the BWP. When the BWP is activated, a BWP selected in the BWP in which the transmission channel is idle is determined as the first active BWP.

Specifically, it is assumed that when the terminal can only transmit on one active BWP at the same time, the terminal has an active BWP (or BWPp) in the primary cell (Primary cell, Pcell/Primary Secondary Cell, PScell). The cell, that is, the unlicensed band, has an active BWP (or BWPs). In order to perform downlink transmission on the unlicensed frequency band, the network device listens on all configured BWPs of the terminal. When the BWP that detects the idle of the transmission channel includes the active BWPs used last time, the active BWPs are determined as the first active BWP, and the downlink information is sent on the active BWPs. When the BWP that hears that the transmission channel is idle does not include the active BWP used last time, as shown in Figure 2, BWP1 and BWP2 are idle, BWP3 is busy, and the BWP of the transmission channel idle is not included in the previous time. Using active BWPs (such as BWP3 in Figure 2), the network device can randomly select one of the free BWPs as the first active BWP (such as BWP1 in Figure 2).

Scenario 2: The terminal supports at least two active BWPs at the same time.

Specifically, step 11 includes: listening to all BWPs in the first BWP in the unlicensed frequency band, respectively, to obtain a channel listening result. That is, the network device listens to all configured BWPs (configured BWPs) of the terminal.

If the number of BWPs configured by the network device for the terminal is equal to the active BWP supported by the terminal, step 12 includes: if the channel listening result indicates that the transmission channel of all BWPs in the first BWP is idle, determining all BWPs in the first BWP. For the first activation BWP; or, if the channel listening result indicates that the transmission channel of the partial BWP in the first BWP is idle, then all the BWPs of the transmission channel idle are determined as the first active BWP, and continue to the other in the first BWP. The BWP's transmission channel is listening. If the transmission channel of other BWPs is detected to be idle, the other BWPs are added to the first active BWP. Among them, the other BWP mentioned here refers to the BWP that is temporarily busy in the first BWP.

Specifically, if the terminal can transmit on multiple active BWPs at the same time, the terminal has multiple (such as Np) active BWPs in the Pcell/PScell, and there are Ns active BWPs in the Scell, that is, the unlicensed frequency band. The number of BWPs (configured BWPs) on the Pcell/PScell is Cp, and the number of BWPs configured on the Scell is Cs, that is, the number of BWPs in the first BWP is Cs. Wherein, Np≤Cp, Ns≤Cs.

When Ns=Cs, if the network device detects that the transmission channels of all the BWPs in the first BWP are idle, the network device determines that all BWPs in the first BWP are the first active BWP. As shown in FIG. 3, if the network device detects that the transmission channel of some BWPs in the first BWP is idle (such as BWP1 and BWP2 in FIG. 3) when the network device is first listening, the network device will transmit all BWPs with the channel idle ( For example, BWP1 and BWP2) are determined as the first activated BWP. Further, the network device may continue to listen to the BWP (such as BWP3 in FIG. 3) that is listening to be busy. When the subsequent transmission channel of the BWP is idle, it is determined as a new activated BWP. Added to the first activated BWP. As shown in FIG. 3, at the initial moment, the network device simultaneously listens to the three BWPs of BWP1, BWP2, and BWP3, and the interception result shows that the transmission channels of BWP1 and BWP2 are idle, and the transmission channel of BPW3 is busy. At this time, the network device determines BWP1 and BWP2 as the first active BWP, and continues to listen to BWP3. When the transmission channel of the BWP 3 is detected to be idle, the BWP 3 is determined as a new active BWP and supplemented to the first active BWP. Among them, it is worth pointing out that all BWPs are independent, and the MCOT of each BWP is also independent. In the example of Figure 3, BWP1 and BWP2 will end the MCOT first. If the network device still has data to transmit, it will continue to listen to BWP1 and BWP2. The MCOT of BWP3 will end at a later time, depending on the data transmission situation to decide whether to continue listening. Further, if the BWP3 is intercepted, and the BWP3 is busy for a long time, and the downlink information has been transmitted on the BWP1 and the BWP2, the BWP3 is discarded. In addition, the maximum listening time of each BWP may be preset, and if the transmission channel of a certain BWP is continuously busy during the maximum listening time, the listening of the BWP is abandoned.

If the number of BWPs configured by the network device is less than the maximum number of active BWPs supported by the terminal, the step 12 further includes: if the channel listening result indicates that the number of BWPs in the first BWP that are idle is greater than or equal to the first preset number Ns, Then, the Ns BWPs are selected as the first active BWP in the BWP in which the transmission channel is idle; wherein Ns is a positive integer and is smaller than the total number of the first BWPs in the unlicensed frequency band; or, if the channel listening result indicates the first BWP If the number of BWPs in which the transmission channel is idle is less than the first preset number Ns, the entire BWP of the transmission channel idle is determined as the first active BWP, and the transmission channels of other BWPs in the first BWP are continuously monitored, if the interception is performed. When the transmission channel to other BWPs is idle, the other BWPs are added to the first active BWP.

Specifically, if the terminal can transmit on multiple active BWPs at the same time, the terminal has multiple (such as Np) active BWPs in the Pcell/PScell, and there are Ns active BWPs in the Scell, that is, the unlicensed frequency band. The number of BWPs (configured BWPs) on the Pcell/PScell is Cp, and the number of BWPs configured on the Scell is Cs, that is, the number of BWPs in the first BWP is Cs. Wherein, Np≤Cp, Ns≤Cs.

When Ns<Cs, if the number of BWPs in the first BWP that are idle in the first BWP is greater than or equal to Ns when the network device is listening for the first time, then Ns BWPs are selected in the BWP with the idle channel. Determined to be the first active BWP. If the network device detects that the number of BWPs in which the transmission channel is idle in the first BWP is less than Ns, the network device determines all BWPs whose transmission channels are idle as the first active BWP. Further, the network device may continue to listen to the BWP that is listening to be busy. When the subsequent transmission channel of the BWP is idle, it is determined as a new active BWP and is added to the first active BWP. .

Further, if the number of the BWPs configured by the network device is less than the active BWP supported by the terminal, the step 11 may be implemented by: selecting, in the unlicensed frequency band, the transmission of the first preset number of Ns BWPs in the first BWP. The channel is intercepted to obtain a channel listening result; wherein Ns is a positive integer and less than the total number of BWPs in the first BWP in the unlicensed band.

Step 12 includes: determining Ns BWPs as the first active BWP if the channel listening result indicates that the transmission channels of the Ns BWPs in the first BWP are idle; or, if the channel listening result indicates the Ns BWPs of the first BWP If the transmission channel of the partial BWP is idle, the entire BWP of the transmission channel idle is determined as the first active BWP, and the transmission channels of other BWPs in the other BWPs or Ns BWPs in the first BWP are continuously monitored. When the transmission channel of other BWPs is detected to be idle, the other BWPs are added to the first active BWP.

Specifically, if the terminal can transmit on multiple active BWPs at the same time, the terminal has multiple (such as Np) active BWPs in the Pcell/PScell, and there are Ns active BWPs in the Scell, that is, the unlicensed frequency band. The number of BWPs (configured BWPs) on the Pcell/PScell is Cp, and the number of BWPs configured on the Scell is Cs, that is, the number of BWPs in the first BWP is Cs. Wherein, Np≤Cp, Ns≤Cs. When Ns<Cs, the network device selects Ns BWPs in the first BWP to listen. If the Ns BWPs are all idle, the Ns BWPs are determined as the first active BWP. If it is detected that only the partial BWP (such as Ns') of the Ns BWPs are idle, the entire BWP of the transport channel idle is determined as the first active BWP, and the network device continues to be removed in the first BWP. Listening on other BWPs other than Ns' BWP, or listening on other BWPs other than Ns' BWPs in Ns BWPs, thereby additionally selecting Ns-Ns' BWPs with free transmission channels One activates the BWP.

In the scenario that the terminal only supports one BWP and at least two BWPs, how the network device listens and determines the first activated BWP is described. In addition, after determining the first activated BWP, the network device further includes: at the terminal. The at least one BWP corresponding to the primary cell or the primary and secondary cells sends downlink control information DCI indicating the first active BWP to the terminal. That is, after determining the first activated BWP, the network device needs to notify the terminal of the information of the first activated BWP by using the DCI. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, after determining the first active BWP, the network device sends a reservation signal on the BWP to occupy the channel, and in the next transmission time unit of the Pcell/PScell (such as a slot). The DCI sends the activation instructions of these BWPs, wherein the DCI of the Pcell/PScell needs to add a new field to indicate the BWP activation/deactivation of the Scell. Correspondingly, after receiving the DCI indicating BWP activation/deactivation sent on the Pcell/PScell, the terminal activates the new BWP.

Further, step 13 includes: transmitting information to the terminal on the first active BWP in the next available transmission time unit of the secondary cell with respect to the transmission timing of the DCI. The transmission time unit includes: a slot slot or a mini-slot. After transmitting the DCI, the network device sends downlink information to the terminal on the first active BWP in the next available transmission time unit of the Scell. If the retuning time of the terminal is less than one slot, the network device can also use the mini-slot to start sending downlink information after the DCI is sent to the next mini-slot, that is, the network device can be the same as the DCI according to the terminal capability. The mini-slot scheduling of the terminal begins in the slot.

In the information transmission method in the unlicensed frequency band of the embodiment of the present disclosure, for the downlink transmission, the network device listens to the multiple configured BWPs on the unlicensed frequency band, and determines the BWP whose transmission channel is idle as the first active BWP, and The downlink information is sent to the terminal on the first active BWP. In this way, by listening to multiple BWPs, other BWPs can also be used for transmission when a BWP is busy, thereby improving resource utilization.
