可以理解的是,本公开实施例描述的通信系统是为了更加清楚的说明本公开实施例的技术方案,并不构成对于本公开实施例提出的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着系统架构的演变和新 业务场景的出现,本公开实施例提出的技术方案对于类似的技术问题同样适用。
下述本公开实施例可以应用于图1所示的通信系统100、或部分主体,但不限于此。图1所示的各主体是例示,通信系统可以包括图1中的全部或部分主体,也可以包括图1以外的其他主体,各主体数量和形态为任意,各主体可以是实体的也可以是虚拟的,各主体之间的连接关系是例示,各主体之间可以不连接也可以连接,其连接可以是任意方式,可以是直接连接也可以是间接连接,可以是有线连接也可以是无线连接。
本公开各实施例可以应用于长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)、LTE-Advanced(LTE-A)、LTE-Beyond(LTE-B)、SUPER 3G、IMT-Advanced、第四代移动通信系统(4th generation mobile communication system,4G)、)、第五代移动通信系统(5th generation mobile communication system,5G)、5G新空口(new radio,NR)、未来无线接入(Future Radio Access,FRA)、新无线接入技术(New-Radio Access Technology,RAT)、新无线(New Radio,NR)、新无线接入(New radio access,NX)、未来一代无线接入(Future generation radio access,FX)、Global System for Mobile communications(GSM(注册商标))、CDMA2000、超移动宽带(Ultra Mobile Broadband,UMB)、IEEE 802.11(Wi-Fi(注册商标))、IEEE 802.16(WiMAX(注册商标))、IEEE 802.20、超宽带(Ultra-WideBand,UWB)、蓝牙(Bluetooth(注册商标))、陆上公用移动通信网(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)网络、设备到设备(Device-to-Device,D2D)系统、机器到机器(Machine to Machine,M2M)系统、物联网(Internet of Things,IoT)系统、车联网(Vehicle-to-Everything,V2X)、利用其他通信方法的系统、基于它们而扩展的下一代系统等。此外,也可以将多个系统组合(例如,LTE或者LTE-A与5G的组合等)应用。
在一些实施例中,终端与终端之间直接通信的链路,终端与终端之间的接口为PC-5。根据发送和接收终端的对应关系,在Sidelink上支持三种传输方式,单播,组播和广播。发送终端在物理侧行链路控制信道(Physical Sidelink Control Channel,PSCCH)上发送侧行链路控制信息(Sidelink Control Information,SCI)以及在物理侧行链路共享信道(Physical Sidelink Shared Channel,PSSCH)信道上发送第二阶段SCI,其中携带传输数据的资源位置以及源和目标标识等。对于混合自动重传请求(Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request,HARQ)反馈使能的数据包,接收终端在物理侧行链路反馈信道(Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel,PSFCH)上对PSSCH做混合自动重传请求确认(Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request-Acknowledgement,HARQ-ACK)反馈。
在一些实施例中,Sidelink通信有两种发送资源分配方式,一种是网络动态调度的方式(mode 1),另一种是终端在网络配置或者预配置的资源池中自主选择的方式(mode 2)。其中动态调度是网络根据终端的缓存数据上报,动态给终端分配Sidelink上的发送资源,而自主选择是终端自行在网络配置或者预配置的资源池中随机选择发送资源。网络可以在一个BWP(Bandwidth Part,带宽部分)上给终端配置多个资源池。具体使用哪种分配方式是网络侧通过RRC(Radio Resource Control,无线资源控制)信令配置的。
载波聚合是LTE-A中的关键技术。为了满足单用户峰值速率和系统容量提升的要求,一种最直接的办法就是增加系统传输带宽。因此LTE-Advanced系统引入一项增加传输带宽的技术,也就是CA(Carrier  Aggregation,载波聚合)。CA技术可以将多个载波(ComponentCarrier,CC)聚合在一起,有效提高了上下行传输速率。可选的,参与载波聚合的每一个载波,也可以叫做分量载波(Component Carrier,简称CC)。
在一些实施例中,发送终端MAC(Media Access Control,媒体接入控制)层的复用功能将多个逻辑信道的数据装入一个传输信道,即将多个MAC SDU(MAC Service Data Unit,媒体接入控制服务数据单元)复用到一个MAC PDU(MAC Protocol Data Unit,媒体接入控制协议数据单元)内,通过物理层信道发送出去。当多个逻辑信道都有数据发送,且数据总量超过当前授权的传输能力时,就出现了应该让哪个逻辑信道优先发送的问题,称为逻辑信道优先级处理(Logical Channel Prioritization,也叫LCP)。每个逻辑信道都有一个优先级用于逻辑信道调度,这个优先级是由网络配置的,网络根据逻辑信道承载数据的QoS(Quality of Service,服务质量)为这个逻辑信道配置优先级。当终端得到调度机会,即得到某个载波上的侧行传输数据的资源后,终端首先选择目标地址,然后选择属于目标地址并且满足一些条件的SL LCH(SidelinkLogical Channel,侧行链路逻辑信道)复用到SL MAC PDU(SidelinkMAC Protocol Data Unit,侧行链路媒体接入控制协议数据单元)里。
在一些实施例中,NR(New Radio,新空口)Sidelink对于广播和/或组播业务,高层(如V2X(vehicle to everything,车用无线通信技术)层)会给AS(access stratum,接入层)层提供Service(业务)到frequency(载波/频带)的映射关系,高层会给AS层提供Service到目的层2ID(Destination L2ID)的映射关系。AS层可以根据这两个映射关系得到层2ID到frequency的映射关系。
在一些实施例中,网络设备可以配置给终端支持的frequency列表。对于载波聚合场景下,该列表中可以包括一个或多个entry(条目),每个entry关联一个frequency。
在一些实施例中,对于一个目标层2地址,终端通过高层配置和网络配置的交集确定可以使用的frequency(载波/频带)。
LTE V2X就已经支持了侧行链路载波聚合技术,接收终端由于发送接收能力限制,可能只能在某一个或者某几个载波上接收侧行链路业务,发送终端由于发送能力受限,可能只在某一个或者几个载波上发送侧行链路业务,LTE V2X里针对终端受限的发送/接收能力没有引入任何载波选择/重选的增强方案,理由是LTE V2X只支持广播业务,可以依赖高层实现确定对哪个业务感兴趣并只在感兴趣的业务关联的载波上接收数据。
NR sidelink也支持载波聚合。相关技术中,NR sidelink载波聚合场景下,默认的是支持载波聚合的终端支持在所有载波上收发。但是,这种方式没有考虑受限的终端能力,即存在受限的接收终端能力对LCP过程的影响不清楚的问题,可能导致数据传输质量变差。
为此,本公开实施例提供一种侧行链路通信方法及其装置,可以解决受限的接收终端能力对LCP过程的影响不清楚的问题,提高传输速率,并保障数据传输质量。
