Background technique

The development of mobile services is increasingly demanding data rates and efficiencies for wireless communications. In future wireless communication systems, beamforming techniques are used to limit the energy of the transmitted signal to a certain beam direction, thereby increasing signal and reception efficiency. Beamforming technology can effectively expand the transmission range of wireless signals and reduce signal interference, thereby achieving higher communication efficiency and higher network capacity. However, in a communication network using beamforming technology, it is first necessary to match the transmit beam and the receive beam so that the gain from the sender to the receiver is maximized, otherwise a relatively high communication efficiency cannot be obtained. In order to achieve full coverage, the network device side is required to scan the beam. Beam scanning will bring many problems, one of which is the increased overhead of broadcast information transmission.

In order to reduce the overhead of broadcast information transmission, the NR system defines a plurality of SS burst set periods, which may be, for example, 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, 80ms or 160ms. The network device can select the period to be transmitted as needed. In the 5G NR system, as shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of sync blocks (SS blocks) constitute one SS burst, and a plurality of SS bursts constitute an SS burst set. Wherein, a sync block refers to a symbol combination of a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS)-Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH)-Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS)-PBCH, and the PSS and the SSS respectively occupy With 144 subcarriers, the PSCH occupies 288 carriers.

Each PBCH symbol includes a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS). The prior art demodulates the DMRS in the PSCH adjacent to the PSS or SSS in the SS block by transmitting pilots in the bandwidth portion (ie, the adjacent bandwidth portion of the PSS and the SSS) that cannot be covered by the PSS or the SS in one SS block. However, this scheme limits the need to use the same port as the transmitting SS block to transmit pilots. In this way, the implementation of the network device is limited, resulting in low spectral efficiency.

Summary of the invention

The present application provides a method and communication apparatus for transmitting a reference signal, which can improve spectral efficiency.

In a first aspect, a method for transmitting a reference signal is provided, comprising:

The first network device sends the first indication information to the terminal device, where the first indication information is used to indicate that the first antenna port sent by the first network device or the second network device is the same as the second antenna port, where The first antenna port is for transmitting a sync block, and the second antenna port is for transmitting a reference signal.

Optionally, the first network device sends the second indication information to the terminal device, where the second indication information is used to indicate a time domain, a frequency domain, a sequence, and a transmit power of the reference signal transmitted by the second port. At least one of them.

In a second aspect, a method for transmitting a reference signal is provided, comprising:

Receiving, by the terminal device, first indication information that is sent by the first network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate that the first antenna port sent by the first network device or the second network device is the same as the second antenna port, where The first antenna port is for transmitting a synchronization block, and the second antenna port is for transmitting a reference signal.

In this embodiment, the network device may further generate a synchronization block and a reference signal, where the synchronization block includes a physical broadcast channel PBCH, and the PBCH includes a demodulation reference signal DMRS, and the first resource particle occupied by the reference signal At least a portion of the resource particles RE in the RE are at the same frequency position as at least a portion of the resource particles RE of the second resource particles RE occupied by the DMRS.

The network device sends the synchronization block and the reference signal to the terminal device through the same antenna port.

Here, the network device may be the first network device or the second network device. The first network is set as a network device in a serving cell of the terminal device, and the second network device is a terminal device of a neighboring cell of the serving cell of the terminal device. That is to say, the network device may send the synchronization block and the reference signal to the serving cell, and may also send the synchronization block and the reference signal to the neighboring cell of the serving cell of the network device. It should be noted that the neighboring cell may be a cell that is in the immediate vicinity of the serving cell, or a cell that is separated from the serving cell by one or more cells, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, a DMRS in the PBCH carries a time index of the synchronization block, and a time index of the synchronization block is used to determine a timing of a cell to which the synchronization block belongs.

Here, the terminal device can acquire the SS block of the current cell and the neighboring cell. When the terminal device acquires the SS block of the neighboring cell, the timing of the neighboring cell may be acquired according to the time index in the SS block. At this time, the terminal device may perform cell handover according to the timing of the neighboring cell.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first antenna port is the same as the second antenna port, and it can be understood that the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol transmitted on the second antenna port and the first antenna port is The same channel is experienced during transmission. That is, the precoding and beamforming of the OFDM symbols transmitted on the first antenna port and the second antenna port are the same.

In this way, the network device can dynamically schedule any data and reference signals to be transmitted on the PSS/SSS adjacent bandwidth (ie, the second time-frequency resource). If the reference signal transmitted on the adjacent bandwidth can assist in the demodulation of the PBCH DMRS, the user is notified to demodulate the PBCH DMRS based on the reference signal. Therefore, embodiments of the present application can improve spectral efficiency.

When the terminal device is notified in an explicit manner, the second indication information may have at least one bit for indicating at least one of a time domain, a frequency domain, a sequence, and a transmission power of the RS.

When the terminal device is notified in an implicit manner, the base station can inform the terminal device of the specific signal used by the second time-frequency resource for transmission, and the terminal device can infer the specific signal of the reference signal according to the transmitted signal. Moreover, when the terminal device is notified in an implicit manner, the signaling overhead of the network device can be saved, and the resource utilization rate can be improved.

After acquiring specific information of the reference signals, for example, the reference signals are used to demodulate the PBCH DMRS in the adjacent SS block to obtain information carried by the DMRS.

Optionally, the PBCH includes a demodulation reference signal DMRS, where the second resource particle RE occupied by the DMRS included in the PBCH is different from the time domain of the RE occupied by the PSS or the SSS. The location of the at least part of the first resource particle RE occupied by the reference signal transmitted by the second port and the frequency position of at least part of the second RE of the second RE occupied by the DMRS included in the PBCH the same.

In this way, the frequency position of at least part of the RS is the same as the frequency position of the PBCH DMRS, or the frequency position of all the PBCH DMRS REs is covered, so that the terminal device can better demodulate the PBCH DMRS according to the reference signal, and improve the channel to the DMRS RE. The accuracy of the estimation further improves the demodulation performance of the DMRS sequence.

It should be understood that FIG. 2 illustrates steps or operations of a method of transmitting a reference signal, but these steps or operations are merely examples, and other embodiments of the present application may also perform other operations or variations of the various operations in FIG. 2. Moreover, the various steps in FIG. 2 may be performed in a different order than that presented in FIG. 2, and it is possible that not all operations in FIG. 2 are to be performed.

210. The network device generates a synchronization block (SS block) and a reference signal (Reference Signal, RS).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the synchronization block includes a primary synchronization signal PSS, a secondary synchronization signal SSS, and a physical broadcast channel PBCH, the PBCH includes a demodulation reference signal DMRS, and the synchronization block is sent on the first time-frequency resource. . Here, the DMRS included in the PBCH is referred to as a PBCH DMRS. Specifically, the synchronization block and the reference signal may be located in one or more OFDM symbols, and the OFDM symbol may specifically be the symbol shown in FIG. 1 above. The second resource particle RE occupied by the demodulation reference signal PBCH DMRS is different from the time domain of the RE occupied by the PSS or the SSS, and the frequency domain location is different. Specifically, the PSS and the SSS occupy 144 subcarriers, and the PBCH occupies 288 subcarriers. The PSS and the SSS cannot cover the entire bandwidth of the PBCH.

Specifically, each PBCH symbol includes a data resource (Resource Element, RE) and a PBCH DMRS RE, where the data RE carries Master Information Block (MIB) information. The PBCH DMRS can be used as a reference signal to demodulate the data RE. In the 5G NR system, the PBCH DMRS can also carry several bits of information.

The DMRS in the PBCH is unknown to the terminal device, and the terminal needs to demodulate the sequence of the DMRS (that is, the information of the above several bits carried in the DMRS), and then demodulate the data RE in the PBCH according to the DMRS. Specifically, the terminal device needs to demodulate the PSS/SSS first, then perform channel estimation on the DMRS RE according to the known PSS/SSS, and then demodulate the PBCH DMRS sequence.

The PSS/SSS/PBCH in one SS block is transmitted using the same antenna port. Thus, the digital or analog precoding and beamforming in an SS block are the same. In this embodiment, the synchronization block may be sent on the first time-frequency resource by using the first antenna port.

In this embodiment of the present application, the network device may generate a reference signal according to the synchronization block, and the reference signal is sent on the second time-frequency resource. The first resource particle RE occupied by the reference signal is the same as the time domain of the RE occupied by the PSS or the SSS, and the frequency domain location is different, and the time domain location of the RE occupied by the PBCH is different. And the frequency domain location is the same, that is, the second time-frequency resource is the same as the time domain location of the RE occupied by the PSS or the SSS in the first time-frequency resource, and the frequency domain location is different. The second time-frequency resource is different from the time domain location of the RE occupied by the PBCH in the first time-frequency resource, and the frequency domain location part is the same.

That is, the second time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource adjacent to the SS block, and the second time-frequency resource is superimposed with the bandwidth of the PSS, that is, the bandwidth of the PBCH, or the second time-frequency resource is superimposed with the bandwidth of the SSS. That is the bandwidth of the PBCH. Specifically, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a first time-frequency resource and a second time-frequency resource (ie, part C) in the embodiment of the present application. The PBCH symbol in FIG. 3 includes three parts B, A, and B, wherein the part A has the same bandwidth as the PSS or the SSS, and the part B has the same bandwidth as the second time-frequency resource.

220. The network device sends the synchronization block and the reference signal to the terminal device.

Specifically, the network device may send the synchronization block and the reference signal to the serving cell, and may also send the synchronization block and the reference signal to the neighboring cell of the serving cell of the network device. It should be noted that the neighboring cell may be a cell that is in the immediate vicinity of the serving cell, or a cell that is separated from the serving cell by one or more cells, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, a DMRS in the PBCH carries a time index of the synchronization block, and a time index of the synchronization block is used to determine a timing of a cell to which the synchronization block belongs.

Here, the terminal device can acquire the SS block of the current cell and the neighboring cell. When the terminal device acquires the SS block of the neighboring cell, the timing of the neighboring cell may be acquired according to the time index in the SS block. At this time, the terminal device may perform cell handover according to the timing of the neighboring cell.

Specifically, the network device may send the synchronization block to the terminal device on the first time-frequency resource, and send the reference signal RS to the terminal device on the second time-frequency resource. The first resource particle RE occupied by the reference signal is the same as the time domain of the RE occupied by the PSS or the SSS, and the frequency domain location is different, and the demodulation reference signal PBCH DMRS occupies the second The resource particle RE is different from the time domain of the RE occupied by the PSS or the SSS and has a different frequency domain position.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, at least part of the resource particles RE of the first resource particle RE occupied by the reference signal and the frequency location of at least part of the second RE of the PBCH DMRS are the same.

Specifically, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the frequency positions of the RE of the reference signal and the RE of the PBCH DMRS in the embodiment of the present application. It can be seen that if the number of the first RE is greater than the number of the second RE, the frequency location of the partial RE of the first resource is the same as the frequency location of the second RE. If the density of the RS is higher than the density of the PBCH DMRS, part of the RS is placed on the same subcarrier of the PBCH DMRS, as shown in part (c) of FIG.

If the number of the first REs is equal to the number of the second REs, the frequency position of the first RE is the same as the location of the partial REs in the second RE. If the density of the RS is equal to the density of the PBCH DMRS, all RSs are placed on the same subcarrier of the PBCH DMRS, as shown in part (b) of FIG.

If the number of the first REs is less than the number of the second REs, the frequency position of the first RE is the same as the location of the partial REs in the second RE. In other words, if the density of the RS is less than the density of the PBCH DMRS, all RSs are placed on the same subcarrier of the PBCH DMRS, as shown in part (a) of FIG.

In addition, one sync block shown in FIG. 3 may have 4 adjacent C resources (each C resource may be considered as one of the above second time-frequency resources). The RS transmitted in the embodiment of the present application may be placed in the four C resources shown in FIG. 3 or the partial C resources in the four C resources. For example, only 1 or 2 or 3 C resource parts are placed in it. For example, when the RS is placed in two of the C resources, only two C resources that are frequency-divided with the PSS or two C resources that are frequency-divided with the SSS are placed.

Specifically, in the protocol, it may be specified in which C resource parts to transmit the RS, and no additional notification by the base station is needed at this time. Alternatively, the base station may also notify the terminal device of which C resource parts transmit the RS. For example, the base station uses the C resource with SSS frequency division to transmit the “control channel PDCCH with minimum system information”, and the default RS is placed in two C resources that are frequency-divided with SSS.

Optionally, when at least part of the resource elements RE in the first resource particle RE occupied by the reference signal and the frequency position of at least part of the second REs occupied by the PBCH DMRS are the same, the network device may pass The same antenna port (ie, the first antenna port described above) transmits the synchronization block and the reference signal to the terminal device. In this way, the frequency position of at least part of the RS is the same as the frequency position of the PBCH DMRS, or the frequency position of all the PBCH DMRS REs is covered, so that the terminal device can better demodulate the PBCH DMRS according to the reference signal, and improve the PBCH DMRS RE. The accuracy of the channel estimation further improves the demodulation performance of the PBCH DMRS sequence.

Alternatively, optionally, the network device may send the synchronization block and the reference signal to the terminal device through the second antenna port.

Specifically, the network device may further send a reference signal to the terminal device on the second time-frequency resource by using the second antenna port (the port number of the second antenna port may be different from the port number of the first antenna port), where the reference signal may be used. The PBCH DMRS sequence is demodulated by the terminal device.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the reference signal is a reference signal sent on the second time-frequency resource, and the reference signal is used to demodulate the PBCH DMRS in the first time-frequency resource.

230. The network device sends the first indication information to the terminal device.

Here, the first indication information is used to indicate that the first antenna port sent by the first network device or the second network device is the same as the second antenna port, where the first antenna port is used to transmit a synchronization block. The second antenna port is used to transmit a reference signal.

Specifically, the first network device is a network device of a serving cell of the terminal device, that is, the first network device is a serving base station or a serving network device of the terminal device. The second network device is a network device of a neighboring cell of the serving cell. For details, the serving cell and the neighboring cell may be referred to in the foregoing description. To avoid repetition, details are not described herein again. Specifically, if the reference signal sent by the neighboring cell on the PSS/SSS adjacent bandwidth resource can assist the demodulation of the PBCH DMRS, the serving network device (for example, the serving base station) of the current terminal device can send the first indication information to the Terminal Equipment.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first antenna port is the same as the second antenna port, and it can be understood that the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol transmitted on the second antenna port and the first antenna port is The same channel is experienced during transmission. That is, the precoding and beamforming of the OFDM symbols transmitted on the first antenna port and the second antenna port are the same.

In this way, the network device can dynamically schedule any data and reference signals to be transmitted on the PSS/SSS adjacent bandwidth (ie, the second time-frequency resource). If the reference signal transmitted on the adjacent bandwidth can assist in the demodulation of the PBCH DMRS, the user is notified to demodulate the PBCH DMRS based on the reference signal.

Specifically, the first indication information may be carried in the PBCH, the RMSI, the broadcast system information (SI), the on demand (on demand) other SI, the downlink control information (Downlink Control Information (DCI) signaling, the media access Control (Medium Access Control, MAC) signaling, Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

Optionally, the network device may further send, to the terminal device, second indication information, where the second indication information is used to indicate at least one of a time domain, a frequency domain, a sequence, and a transmit power of the RS.

Moreover, the second indication information may also be carried in the PBCH, the RMSI, the broadcast other SI, the on demand other SI, the DCI signaling, the MAC signaling, and the RRC signaling. Specifically, the second indication information may use the reserved field in the foregoing signaling or message, or jointly code with other fields in the foregoing signaling, so that the signaling overhead of the system may be reduced, and resource utilization is improved.

Specifically, the second indication information may be notified to the terminal in an explicit or implicit manner. When the terminal device is notified in an explicit manner, the second indication information may have at least one bit for indicating at least one of a time domain, a frequency domain, a sequence, and a transmission power of the RS.

When the terminal device is notified in an implicit manner, the base station can inform the terminal device of the specific signal used by the second time-frequency resource for transmission, and the terminal device can infer the specific signal of the reference signal according to the transmitted signal. Moreover, when the terminal device is notified in an implicit manner, the signaling overhead of the network device can be saved, and the resource utilization rate can be improved.

Optionally, the RS may be carried in a control resource set CORSET, a physical downlink control channel PDCCH, and a physical downlink data channel PDSCH. The CORSET, PDCCH, and PDSCH include DMRS for demodulating data.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the RS may be a DMRS, a CSI-RS, a PTRS, or a TRS.

That is to say, the second time-frequency resource can be used to transmit the CORSET, PDCCH or PDSCH including the DMRS, and can also be used to transmit the CSI-RS, PTRS or TRS.

240. The terminal device demodulates the PBCH DMRS.

Specifically, the terminal device may demodulate the PBCH DMRS according to the reference signal received on the first antenna port. Because the at least part of the resource particles RE in the first resource particle RE occupied by the reference signal and the frequency location of at least part of the second RE in the second RE of the PBCH DMRS are the same, the terminal device can better base the device. The reference signal demodulates the PBCH DMRS, improves the channel estimation accuracy of the PBCH DMRS RE, and further improves the demodulation performance of the PBCH DMRS sequence.

Alternatively, the terminal device may demodulate the PBCH DMRS by using the RS transmitted on the second antenna port after receiving the first indication information.

Moreover, the terminal device may receive the second indication information sent by the network device, and determine specific information of the reference signal, for example, at least one of a time domain, a frequency domain, a sequence, and a transmission power of the reference signal.

Alternatively, after receiving the reference signal on the second time-frequency resource, the terminal device may infer specific information of the reference signal according to the specific signal transmitted, for example, at least one of a time domain, a frequency domain, a sequence, and a transmit power of the reference signal. One.

For example, the reference signal may be carried in the control resource set CORSET, the physical downlink control channel PDCCH, and the physical downlink data channel PDSCH. The CORSET, PDCCH, and PDSCH include DMRS for demodulating data. At this time, the terminal device may determine the specific information of the reference signal according to the resource or channel specifically carried by the reference signal. For example, if the PDCCH is transmitted, for the information of the DMRS carried in the PDCCH, the user may infer the specific information of the reference signal by one or more known information: the time domain in which the PDCCH is located, the frequency location, and the cell identifier ( ID), user identification (ID), DMRS port number, etc.

Alternatively, the reference signal may be DMRS, CSI-RS, PTRS or TRS. The terminal device can determine the specific information of the reference signal according to the specific type of the reference signal (the specific type of the reference signal is, for example, DMRS, CSI-RS, PTRS or TRS). For example, if the CSI-RS is transmitted, the user can infer the specific information of the reference signal CSI-RS by one or more known information: the time domain, the frequency location where the CSI-RS is located, and the cell identifier (ID). , user identification (ID), CSI-RS port number, and so on.

For another example, the network device may use a resource setting, a resource set, a resource, and a port information of the DMRS, the CSI-RS, the PTRS, or the TRS transmitted on the second time-frequency resource. At least one of the notification terminals and informs the terminal device which port has the same channel as the symbol transmitted by the antenna port transmitting the SS block. At this time, the terminal device learns the specific information of the reference signal according to the resource setting and/or resource set and/or resource and/or port information of the RS transmitted on the same port as the transmission SS block. After acquiring the specific information of the reference signals, for example, the reference signals are used to demodulate the PBCH DMRS in the adjacent SS block to obtain the information carried by the PBCH DMRS.

As an example, the network device may notify the terminal device to transmit the DMRS with the port number 5 on the adjacent bandwidth resource of the PSS/SSS, and the port is the same as the port 0 of the adjacent SS block, and the terminal device receives the notification of the network device. The DMRS can be used to demodulate the PBCH DMRS. Or the network device notifies the terminal device that the TRS port number 20 is transmitted on the adjacent bandwidth resource, and the port is the same as the port 0 of the neighboring SS block, and the terminal device can adopt the DMRS after receiving the notification of the network device. To demodulate the PBCH DMRS.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the network device sends a synchronization block to the terminal device through the first antenna port, sends a reference signal to the terminal device through the second antenna port, and sends the second antenna port to the terminal device to indicate the second antenna port and the The first indication information of the first antenna port is the same, so that the terminal device can demodulate the PBCH DMRS in the SS block according to the first indication information and the reference signal. With the method for transmitting a reference signal in the embodiment of the present application, the network device can flexibly select an antenna port to transmit a reference signal to the terminal device in the adjacent bandwidth of the PSS/SSS, thereby improving the spectrum efficiency of the communication system.

And, when the reference resource occupies at least part of the resource particles RE of the first resource particle RE and the at least part of the second RE of the PBCH DMRS, the network device uses the second antenna When the port transmits the reference signal, the demodulation performance of the PBCH DMRS sequence can be further improved while improving the spectral efficiency of the system.
