Description

一种中继传输方法和装置 技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种中继传输方法和装置。
背景技术
在下一代通信系统中,由于高频通信的引入,由遮挡引起的覆盖范围、覆盖空洞成为新挑战。为了提升基站的覆盖范围,引入了中继传输。通过中继传输将非视线(non-line of sight,NLOS)信道转化为视线(line of sight,LOS)信道,从而提高系统的稳定性和吞吐率。在中继通信过程中,存在着三类网络节点,分别是基站、中继节点及终端。中继节点作为网络中引入的新节点,需要增加一些新的连接链路。在存在中继的基站小区内,根据链路服务对象的不同连接链路可分为以下三种:接入(access,AC)链路、直连链路以及回程(backhaul,BH)链路。直连链路用于基站与附近终端通信,接入链路用于中继节点与中继节点服务的终端相互通信,回程链路用于中继节点与基站间的通信。其中,中继节点从基站接收数据可以认为是BH下行传输,中继节点向基站发送数据可以认为是BH上行传输。BH上行传输和BH下行传输可以统称BH传输。中继节点或基站向终端发送数据可以认为是AC下行传输,中继节点或基站从终端接收数据可以认为是AC上行传输。AC上行传输和AC下行传输可以统称AC传输。
在LTE中,终端无法区别中继节点和基站。中继节点对基站与终端之间传输的数据进行转发。在转发的过程中,每个中继节点有自己的小区标识(identifier,ID),与基站的小区ID可以不同。当终端需要从一个中继节点切换到另一个中继节点时,需要采用与小区间切换相同的方法。
具体地,终端需要基于测量报告,确定当前小区的链路质量低于邻小区的链路质量,从而对邻小区发起初始接入过程。其中测量报告是根据参考信号测量并长期统计获得的。而初始接入的过程包括:
步骤1:接收同步信号。根据同步信号获取邻小区的下行时间同步,以及邻小区的小区广播信息,包括小区ID等。根据邻小区的小区ID确定邻小区的CRS序列,进行邻小区测量。
步骤2:向邻小区的基站发送PRACH。通过PRACH发送,发起上行接入,使基站获得终端的传输往返时延。
步骤3:接收随机接入响应。基站通过随机接入响应为终端分配定时提前(timing advance,TA),并分配临时的小区无线网络临时标识(temporary cell-radio network temporary identifier,TC-RNTI)。
步骤4:终端发送消息3(Msg3)。终端通过消息3上报初始接入的信息。
步骤5:终端接收消息4(Msg4)。消息4用于确认终端进行接入、解决多终端同时接入的冲突,并分配或确认该终端的小区无线网络临时标识(cell-radio network temporary identifier,C-RNTI)。
在下一代通信系统中,频带从低频段扩展到高频段,从而可以获得更大的传输带宽, 提高系统吞吐量。然而在高频段,信道相比低频段稳定性较差,容易出现中断(blockage)。中断的出现是突发性的,而且持续时间较短。中继节点若采用现有的切换方法,则会出现中继节点的切换尚未完而信道中断已经结束的情况。

具体实施方式
图1是本申请的实施例应用的一种无线通信系统的架构示意图。如图1所示,该无线通信系统包括基站、中继节点以及终端。终端可以通过无线的方式与基站连接,并与基站进行数据传输。终端也可以通过无线的方式与中继节点连接,并与中继节点进行数据传输。图1中基站与中继节点1以及中继节点2之间存在回程链路,中继节点1与终端1之间存在接入链路,中继节点3与终端2之间存在接入链路,中继节点2与中继节点3直接存在回程链路。图1中的终端1有可能切换到中继节点2。也就是说终端1断开与中继节点1的接入链路而与中继节点2建立接入链路。终端2也有可能从中继节点3切换到中继节点2。图1只是示意图,该通信系统中还可以包括其它网络设备,如更多的基站,更多的中继节点,更多的终端。
本申请实施例中的基站是终端通过无线方式接入到该无线通信系统中的接入设备,可以是演进型基站、下一代通信系统中的基站或WiFi系统中的接入节点等。本申请实施例的中继节点可以是具有中继功能的节点。具体可以是基站、微基站或收发节点(transmission reception point,TRP)、用户驻地设备(customer premise equipment,CPE),用户设备。中继节点可以工作在低频段也可以工作在高频段。
本申请实施例中的终端也可以称为终端设备、用户设备(user equipment,UE)、移动台(mobile station,MS)、移动终端(mobile terminal,MT)等。终端可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(Pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、以及其他具有无线收发功能的终端等等。
本实施例中涉及的时隙包括一段时间资源,其还可以是传输时间间隔(transmission time internal,TTI)、时间单元、子帧和/或迷你时隙。
现有技术中,波束中断经常发生,极大干扰了正常通信流程。本申请实施例针对现有波束中断的经常发生,提供了一种波束中断恢复的方法。采用波束中断恢复的方法,实现 快速的波束切换。具体的,该波束中断恢复的方法包括如下几个步骤。
步骤1:终端确定是否发生波束中断。终端根据控制信道的波束是否完全中断来确定是否发生了波束中断。
步骤2:若发生波束中断,则终端根据测量信号,例如同步信号块(synchronization signal block,SSB)或者周期的信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information-reference signal,CSI-RS),确定新的波束。当然,测量信号是可以基站预先配置的。
步骤3:终端通过物理随机接入信道(physical random access channel,PRACH)或者上报波束中断恢复请求。该波束中断恢复请求携带新的波束的信息,以及终端自身的标识。
步骤4:终端检测物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH),并接收基站对波束中断恢复请求的响应。终端根据基站的响应进行波束中断恢复。
在下一代通信系统中,尤其在高频场景下,信道中断的经常发生且持续时间短。现有的小区切换过程慢。当终端需要从一个中继节点切换到另一个中继节点时,现有的小区切换方法无法满足需求。例如,如果中继节点之间的切换速度较慢,则会出现中继节点的切换尚未完而信道中断已经结束的情况。因此需要快速地进行中继节点间的切换。
上述波束中断恢复的方法可以认为是一种波束间的切换。例如,由中断的波束切换到可以通信的波束,但是这两个波束都是同一个基站的波束,因此不属于基站间或小区间的切换。中继节点也可以认为是一种基站。因此若要实现快速的中继节点间的切换,需要将多个中继节点的波束统一起来考虑。这样,从一个中继节点的波束切换到另一个中继节点的波束,就相当于完成了从一个中继节点到另一个中继节点的切换。将多个中继节点的波束统一起来考虑,则需要让发生信道中断的中继节点或者其他中继节点的测量信号或相关资源信息。下面将对中继节点间的切换进一步阐述。
图2为本申请实施例提供了一种中继传输方法的流程示意图。如图2所示,该方法包括以下几个步骤。
步骤201:第一中继节点接收第一信息,该第一信息包括第二中继节点的第二资源的信息。
其中,第一中继节点可以从其上级节点接收第一信息,也可以直接从第二中继节点接收第一信息。
步骤202:第一中继节点向终端发送第二信息,该第二信息包括第二资源的信息。进一步地,第二信息还包括第一中继节点的第一资源的信息。
其中,第一资源包括第一中继节点与终端(或其他网络节点)之间用于传输的SSB资源、信道状态信息参考信号CSI-RS资源、PRACH资源、PUCCH资源和前导(preamble)序列中的至少一种。第二资源包括第二中继节点与终端(或其他网络节点)之间用于传输的SSB资源、CSI-RS资源、PRACH资源、PUCCH资源和前导序列中的至少一种。其中前导序列的配置信息还可以包括前导序列的根序列的信息,循环移位的信息,前导序列的标识至少一个。进一步地,第一信息还可以包括第二中继节点的波束失败(或波束中断)的触发门限、最大重传次数(maximum number of transmissions)、最大功率递增次数(maximum number of power rampings)、目标接收功率(target received power)、重传功率步长(retransmission tx power ramping step size)、波束中断测量窗的时间长度(beam  failure recovery timer)和接收波束中断恢复响应的控制资源集合(control resource set,CORESET)。第二信息还可以包括第一中继节点与第二中继节点的波束失败的触发门限、最大重传次数、最大功率递增次数、目标接收功率、重传功率步长、波束中断测量窗的时间长度和接收波束中断恢复响应的CORESET。
作为一种示例,第一中继节点从基站接收第一信息,或者基站向第一中继节点发送第一资源的信息以及第二资源的信息。举例来说,基站对第一中继节点进行配置时,可以想第一中继节点发送第一中继节点和终端之间用于传输的SSB资源、CSI-RS资源、PRACH资源或PUCCH资源的信息,还可以向第一中继节点发送第二中继节点与终端之间用于传输的SSB资源、CSI-RS资源、PRACH资源或PUCCH资源的信息。作为另一种示例,第一中继节点从第二中继节点接收第一信息。或,第一中继节点从基站接收第二资源的信息。
第二信息包含第一资源和第二资源的信息。第一中继节点将第二信息发送给终端。这使得终端获取了第一中继节点可用的资源以及第二中继节点可用的资源。而第一中继节点只在第一资源上与终端进行传输,第一中继节点在第二资源上不传输。具体地,第一中继节点在第二资源上不映射物理下行数据信道(physical downlink share channel,PDSCH)。举例来说,第一中继节点向终端发送SSB资源或CSI-RS资源的信息。该SSB资源或CSI-RS资源包含多于第一中继节点实际与终端进行传输时所需的SSB资源或CSI-RS资源。具体地,第一中继节点可以发送多组SSB资源或CSI-RS资源的信息。第一中继节点在其中一组上发送SSB或CSI-RS,在其余组上不传输数据或不映射PDSCH。
上面从第一中继节点的角度对本申请实施例提供的中继传输方法进行了阐述。下面提供了从终端的角度阐述该中继传输方法。
步骤203:终端从第一中继节点接收第二信息,第二信息包括第二中继节点的第二资源的信息。进一步地,第二信息还包括第一中继节点的第一资源的信息。
步骤204:基于其在第一资源和第二资源上接收到的信号,终端向第二中继节点发送消息,该消息用于携带第二资源中部分资源的信息。因为该消息中携带了第二资源中部分资源的信息,第二中继节点可以获知终端选择了第二中继节点作为与之通信的中继节点。
其中,第二信息还可以包括第一中继节点与第二中继节点的波束失败的触发门限、最大重传次数、最大功率递增次数、目标接收功率、重传功率步长、波束中断测量窗的时间长度和接收响应的CORESET。
在本申请中,基站可以为多个中继节点配置一组SSB资源、CSI-RS资源、PRACH资源或PUCCH资源,并且配置每个中继节点仅在其中的一部分资源上进行传输。通过基站配置,多个中继节点在除配置给自己的资源外的其他资源上不传输信号。其中一个中继节点配置终端对多个中继节点的信号进行联合测量,终端根据测量结果可以在多个中继节点中选择合适的中继节点进行通信。这样终端就可以在需要进行中继节点切换时完成从一个中继节点到另一个中继节点的切换。这种切换方式使终端可以在中继节点间的快速切换,适配高频段中断易发生,持续时间短的特点。下面以图1的场景为例,对本申请实施例提供的中继传输方法进一步说明。其中,终端接入了中继节点1。
图3为本申请实施例提供了一种中继传输方法的流程示意图。如图3所示,该方法包括以下几个步骤。
步骤301:中继节点1和中继节点2向基站上报SSB资源或CSI-RS资源的数量或者位置, 基站根据中继节点1和中继节点2需求的资源数量或者资源位置确定SSB资源或CSI-RS资源的分配。该步骤是可选的,因为中继节点1和中继节点2的SSB资源或CSI-RS资源可以是基站直接配置的。
步骤302:基站为中继节点1和中继节点2配置总的SSB资源、CSI-RS资源、PRACH资源或PUCCH资源,用于波束连接的建立。
基站分别指示中继节点1和中继节点2在配置的总的SSB资源或CSI-RS资源中的部分资源上发送SSB或CSI-RS。基站分别指示中继节点1和中继节点2在配置的总的PRACH资源或PUCCH资源中的部分资源上接收PRACH或PUCCH。其中,部分资源是指中继节点1或中继节点2本来需要发送SSB或CSI-RS以及接收PRACH或PUCCH的资源。该部分资源也可以是基站配置的。而基站配置的总的资源包括了所有可以进行快速切换的中继节点(例如在本实施例中为中继节点1和中继节点2)的SSB资源或CSI-RS资源或PRACH资源或PUCCH资源。其中,可以进行快速切换的中继节点可以是一个或多个中继节点上报自己是否可以用于快速切换,或者基站整体控制一个或多个中继节点是否可以用于快速切换。图4以SSB资源为例进行了说明。
图4为基站配置的中继节点1和中继节点2的总的SSB资源示意图。如图4所示,在整个传输资源上,可以以SSB为例示意。其中斜线框代表中继节点1的SSB资源,点框代表中继节点2的SSB资源,则斜线框和点框加起来表示基站配置的中继节点1和中继节点2的总的SSB资源。中继节点1仅在中继节点1的SSB资源(图4中的斜线框所示)上进行传输,但是基站会将总的SSB资源(包括中继节点2的SSB资源)发送给中继节点1。类似地,中继节点2也可以从基站接收到总的SSB资源(包括中继节点1的SSB资源)。
作为一种示例,中继节点1和中继节点2的信号周期相同。这样对于终端可以仅配置一个周期值。若中继节点1和中继节点2的信号周期不一样,信号测量要依据大的信号周期,这样具有小的信号周期的中继节点的资源就会产生浪费。
作为一种示例,SSB中同步信号的生成是基于小区ID的,CSI-RS的序列生成是基于小区ID或者虚拟小区ID的。因此,基站可以向中继节点1和/或中继节点2发送小区ID或虚拟小区ID,用于生成同步信号或CSI-RS的序列。在每个中继节点独立确定自身的小区ID的情况下,对于同步信号,基站需要指示另一个中继节点的ID,对于CSI-RS,基站需要指示虚拟ID。若每个中继节点的小区ID是基站配置的,则基站可以为每个中继节点配置一样的小区ID。
作为一种示例,在按照CSI-RS联合SSB的方式对中继节点2进行波束质量测量的情况下,还需要中继节点2上报CSI-RS和SSB之间的准共址(quasi co-located,QCL)关系,并由基站配置给中继节点1。因为对于具有QCL关系的CSI-RS和SSB,则可以利用它们进行联合的波束质量测量。也就是说,针对CSI-RS联合SSB的测量方式,终端可以认为一个CSI-RS和一个SSB的测量结果是可以合并的。或者,一个CSI-RS的测量结果可以作为一个SSB测量结果的参考,此时需要基站配置这个CSI-RS和SSB是QCL的。
步骤303:中继节点1向终端发送配置信息。或,中继节点1广播配置信息。该配置信息基站为中继节点1和中继节点2配置总的SSB资源、CSI-RS资源、PRACH资源或PUCCH资源。
其中,该配置信息所指示的资源包含且多于中继节点1实际发送SSB或CSI-RS和接收 的PRACH或PUCCH所需的资源。
作为一种示例,中继节点1配置多种参数信令,例如SSB-transmitted信令。在多种SSB-transmitted信令中,有一种用于中继节点间的快速切换。可选的,还有一种是用于配置中继节点1实际发送SSB的配置,或还有一种是用于中继节点1内的波束中断恢复。
作为一种示例,中继节点1可将所有其可配置的SSB分为不同的集合,分别对应来自中继节点1和中继节点2的SSB。不同集合的SSB对应不同的参数,即可以为不同的中继节点(或不同的信号集合)配置不同的参数。该参数包括PRACH中传输的前导序列、波束中断恢复请求的最大重传次数、最大功率递增次数、目标接收功率、重传功率步长或波束中断测量窗的时间长度中的至少一个。对于不同的小区ID的情况,不同的SSB集合对应不同的小区ID。SSB中同步信号的生成是基于小区ID的,所以中继节点1和中继节点2如果对应不同的小区ID,则可以分为两个集合,分别包含两个中继节点的SSB。每个集合内的同步信号序列相同,集合间同步信号序列不同。
作为一种示例,可配置CSI-RS属于不同的CSI-RS资源集合,分别对应来自中继节点1和中继节点2的CSI-RS。不同的CSI-RS资源集合可以对应不同的参数。
作为一种示例,可以为不同的信号集合(例如,不同的SSB集合或不同的CSI-RS集合)配置不同的门限。根据该门限,确定是否进行中继节点间的切换。举例来说,每个信号集合内的不同信号之间的切换表示中继节点内的波束切换。不同集合间的不同信号之间的切换表示中继节点间切换。为不同集合间的不同信号之间的切换设置一个门限值(例如一个较大的门限值),从而保证不会经常出现中继节点间的切换。
作为一种示例,可以为不同的中继节点(或不同的信号集合)配置不同的参数。因为每个中继节点的参数是根据自身覆盖的小区决定的,可能不同的中继节点决定的参数不同,为不同的中继节点的接入配置不同的PRACH参数。这些参数需要中继节点2上报给基站,再由基站配置给中继节点1。
在基站配置的总的资源中,中继节点1不传输SSB或CSI-RS或PRACH或PUCCH的资源如果被配置为用于中继节点间快速切换,则中继节点在这些资源上不传输任何信号。这些资源可以是资源元素(resource element,RE)级也可以是符号级。以图4所示场景为例,中继节点1在中继节点2的SSB资源上不传输任何信号。
步骤304:终端通过PRACH或PUCCH上报选择的波束。终端根据接收到的总的SSB资源、CSI-RS资源、PRACH资源或PUCCH资源的信息,确定进行通信的波束。若该波束是中继节点2的波束,则终端可以通过过PRACH或PUCCH上报选择的波束以进行中继节点的切换。
步骤305:终端接收中继节点2的波束中断恢复请求的响应。
中继节点1和中继节点2上报可以用于发送波束中断恢复请求的响应的CORESET信息给基站。基站配置给中继节点1和中继节点2用于发送波束中断恢复请求的响应的CORESET,例如是分配给中继节点1的CORESET和中继节点2的CORESET的并集。
中继节点1事先为终端配置用于终端接收波束中断恢复请求的响应的CORESET,可以包括至少2个CORESET,或一个更大的CORESET。该预先配置的CORESET至少包括终端接收中继节点2发送的波束中断恢复请求的响应的资源。为了保证终端能够快速从波束中断中恢复,中继节点1需要事先为终端配置好接收波束中断恢复响应的资源,包括接收来自中继节点2的响应的资源。
通过基站协调,两个中继节点在对方的SSB资源或CSI-RS资源不发送信号,并且通过中继节点配置终端对两个中继节点的信号进行联合测量,从而使终端可以在采用波束中断恢复的方法进行中继节点间的快速切换,适配高频段中断易发生,持续时间短的特点。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中一个中继节点可以从基站接收到其他中继节点的资源也可以直接从其他中继节点接收。例如,图1的中继节点2或中继节点3可以直接将基站为其配置的资源发送给中继节点1。这样的中继节点1可以得到中继节点2或中继节点3的资源。
相应于上述方法实施例,本申请实施例可以对第一中继节点和终端进行功能模块的划分,例如,可以对应各个功能划分各个功能模块,也可以将两个或两个以上的功能集成在一个处理模块中。上述集成的模块既可以采用硬件的形式实现,也可以采用软件功能模块的形式实现。需要说明的是,本申请实施例中对模块的划分是示意性的,仅仅为一种逻辑功能划分,实际实现时可以有另外的划分方式。
