其中,预分配的时频资源,例如用于上行Grant free的传输资源,是由高层信令,如无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令半静态配置的,具体包括:
1)、配置时间资源(也称时域资源),包括半静态传输资源的周期大小,以及相对于系统帧号SFN=0的偏移值。
2)、配置频率资源(也称频域资源),即配置预留的用于Grant free上行传输的频率资源,即从分配给终端的频率资源中预留一部分用于Grant free上行传输。
目前,上述通过半静态配置用于上行Grant free传输的时间资源的方法,存在的主要问题是:当有低时延业务,如低时延高可靠场景(Ultra-reliable and low latency communications,URLLC)业务到来时,如果当前子帧或时隙无半静态配置的用于Grant free上行传输的时间资源,则将导致业务数据的发送时延增大,无法满足低时延业务的低时延要求,并且,当低时延业务增多时,还会导致资源不够用,传输竞争和冲突增大,不能满足终端某些业务的的高可靠性要求。
发明内容
本申请提供一种无线通信方法及装置,有助于满足终端某些业务的低时延和高可靠性要求。
为达到上述目的,本申请提供如下技术方案:
第一方面,提供一种无线通信方法,该方法可由终端或终端内的芯片执行。该方法包括:接收来自基站的第一高层信令,所述第一高层信令用于配置第一时间资源和第一频率资源,所述第一时间资源和第一频率资源能够用于免调度的上行传输;接收下行控制信息,所述下行控制信息用于指示时隙的格式,所述格式指示了所述时隙中的符号的传输方向;其中,所述时隙中的上行符号为能够用于免调度的上行传输的时间资源。该方法中,接收基站通过下行控制信息为终端动态分配的能够用于免调度的上行传输的时间资源,当第一时间资源不能使用或不够使用时,可使用该动态分配的时间资源用于免调度的上行传输,有助于满足终端某些业务的低时延和高可靠性要求。
可选地,针对时隙中能够用于免调度的上行传输的上行符号,可以是使用这些上行符号中的所有符号进行免调度的上行传输,也可以只使用这些符号中的部分符号进行免调度的上行传输。
可选地,时间资源包括固定时间资源和灵活时间资源,固定时间资源中的每个符号的传输方向由基站通过高层信令半静态配置,灵活时间资源中的每个符号的传输方向由基站通过下行控制信息动态指示。

可选地,有以下三种类型的Grant free传输:

类型2:上行数据传输不需要基站下发的Grant信息,需要基于RRC配置信息和物理层信令(比如,L1信令(signalling))指示激活/去激活Grant free传输。
类型3:上行数据传输不需要基站下发的Grant信息,基于RRC配置/重配置的信息,允许物理层信令(如,L1 signalling)修改RRC信令半静态配置的一些参数,但不需要物理层信令(如,L1 signalling)激活/去激活Grant free传输。

可选地,当Grant free是类型2时,第一高层信令则需要指示第一时间资源,不需要指示第一频率资源。对于第一频率资源,可由基站通过L1层的信令指示。
可选地,当Grant free是类型3时,第一高层信令则需要指示第一时间资源,不需要指示第一频率资源。对于第一频率资源,可由基站通过L1层的信令指示。
其中,第一时间资源,例如可以是时隙中的固定上行符号,即第一时间资源为传输方向固定为上行的符号。
在一种可能的设计中,接收来自所述基站的第二高层信令,所述第二高层信令用于指示候选时间资源的集合,所述时隙属于所述候选时间资源的集合。该方法中,基站通过第二高层信令,指示了候选时间资源的集合,该集合中的时隙为终端用于免调度的上行传输的候选时隙,即该集合中的任一时隙都可以由终端用于免调度的上行传输,也可以理解为,如果集合中的任一时隙中的部分或全部符号被基站配置为上行符号,则该上行符号可用于免调度的上行传输。

可选地,所述候选时间资源的集合包括一个或多个时隙。该实现方式中,候选时间资源的集合也可以称为候选时隙的集合。
在一种可能的设计中,上述候选时间资源的集合还可以不是由基站通过高层信令指示的,而是预定义的,或者是由终端自己确定的。
可选地,终端或终端的芯片将除了第一时间资源之外的所有时间资源,或除了第一时间资源和预留资源之外的所有时间资源中的第一时隙构成该候选时间资源的集合,其中,第一时隙指的是包含的符号的传输方向可配置的时隙,也可以理解为,第一时隙为时隙格式可配置的时隙,其中,时隙格式(slot format)指的是时隙中的符号的传输方向。
可选地,终端或终端的芯片将终端当前所在的系统帧中,除了第一时间资源之外的其它时间资源,或除了第一时间资源和预留资源之外的其他时间资源,中的第二时隙构成该候选时间资源的集合,其中,第二时隙指的是包含的符号的传输方向可配置的时隙。
可选地,终端或终端的芯片将分配给终端的时间资源中,除了第一时间资源之外的其它时间资源,或除了第一时间资源和预留资源之外的其他时间资源,中的第三时隙构成该候选时间资源的集合,其中,第三时隙指的是包含的符号的传输方向可配置的时隙。
在一种可能的设计中,接收来自所述基站的第三高层信令,所述第三高层信令用于指示第二频率资源,所述第二频率资源为所述第一频率资源的子集;所述时隙中的上行符号和所述第二频率资源能够用于免调度的上行传输。终端在时间维度上,可在时隙的上行符号上免调度的上行传输,在频率维度上,可选地,可以在第一频率资源上免调度的上行传输,可选地,还可以是在第二频率资源上免调度的上行传输,该第二频率资源是由基站通过第三高层信令指示的,该第二频率资源为第一频率资源的子集,即第二频率资源可以与第一频率资源相等,也可以是第一频率资源中的部分(即真子集)。可选地,当第二频率资源等于第一频率资源时,基站还可以不发送上述第三高层信令,即当基站不发送上述第三高层信令时,则可以预定义终端的第二频率资源等于第一频率资源。
在一种可能的设计中,接收来自所述基站的指示信息,所述指示信息用于指示第二时间资源,所述时间资源和所述第一频率资源之外的频率资源能够用于免调度的上 行传输。该方法中,基站通过指示信息,指示了第二时间资源,终端则在第二时间资源和第一频率资源之外的频率资源用于免调度的上行传输,从而在第一频率之外,增加了用于免调度的上行传输的频率资源,进一步增加了用于免调度的上行传输的资源,可进一步降低时延和提高业务可靠性。
在一种可能的设计中,接收上行调度授权,所述上行调度授权用于指示调度的第三时间资源和第三频率资源;其中,所述第三时间资源所在的时隙中未使用的上行符号和所述第三频率资源也能够用于免调度的上行传输。该方法中,给出了另一种确定能够用于免调度的上行传输的方法,即由基站向终端发送上行调度授权,用于指示调度的第三时间资源和第三频率资源,当第三时间资源有时隙的上行符号未使用时,则可以通过该未使用的上行符号,以及第三频率资源,免调度的上行传输,因而,进一步地增加了用于免调度的上行传输的资源,可进一步降低时延和提高业务可靠性。
在一种可能的设计中在所述能够用于免调度的上行传输的资源上发送数据。
第二方面,提供一种无线通信方法,该方法可由基站或基站内的芯片执行。该方法包括:向终端发送第一高层信令,所述第一高层信令用于配置第一时间资源和第一频率资源,所述第一时间资源和第一频率资源能够用于免调度的上行传输;向所述终端发送下行控制信息,所述下行控制信息用于指示时隙的格式,所述格式指示了所述时隙中的符号的传输方向;其中,所述时隙中的上行符号为能够用于免调度的上行传输的时间资源。

具体实施方式
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请作进一步地详细描述。
需要说明的的是,本申请的无线通信方法可由装置执行。在网络侧,该装置可以是基站或基站内的芯片,即可以由基站或基站内的芯片执行本申请的无线通信方法;在终端侧,该装置可以是终端或终端内的芯片,即可以由终端或终端内的芯片执行本申请的无线通信方法。
为方便说明,本申请,以装置为基站或终端为例,对无线通信方法进行说明,对于装置为基站内的芯片或终端内的芯片的实现方法,可参考基站或终端的无线通信方法的具体说明,不再重复介绍。
需要说明的是,本申请在提到高层信令时,可以是系统消息(主消息块(Master Information Block,MIB)或系统消息块(System Information Block,SIB),广播信令,RRC信令,媒体接入控制(Media Access Control,MAC)控制单元(Control Element,CE)等)。例如,本申请下文中出现的第一高层信令、第二高层信令、第三高层信令,均可以是上述几种信令中的一种或几种,此处做统一说明,后续不再赘述。
在长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)中,通常1个时隙中所有符号固定的用于上行或者下行。尤其对于时分双工(Time Division Duplexing,TDD)系统,整个时隙 (slot)用于上行或者下行,比较欠缺灵活,尤其是对于短时延业务局限较大。
在5G新空口(New Radio,NR)标准化工作中,为满足短时延业务的要求,支持灵活的时隙结构,即在1个时隙可全部用于上行或者下行,或有些符号用于上行,有些符号用于下行。并可使用终端组公共物理下行控制信道(Group Common Physical DownLink Control Channel,Group Common PDCCH)指示时隙结构,时隙结构也可理解为时隙格式(Slot Format),或时隙格式相关信息(Slot format related information),基站发送Group Common PDCCH,终端检测Group Common PDCCH,获取时隙格式,其中,时隙格式指示了在slot内哪些符号是上行,哪些符号是下行,哪些符号是其它,其它指的是不为上行或下行的信息,如空白资源、保护时间(Guard Period,GP)、保留资源或未知资源等。并且,一个Group Common PDCCH可以指示一个或多个slot的时隙格式。
为方便说明,本申请,时间资源包括固定时间资源和灵活时间资源,例如,以时隙为单位,则固定时间资源包括固定时隙,灵活时间资源包括灵活时隙。其中,固定时隙中的所有符号固定的用于上行或下行,也可以理解为,固定时隙中的每个符号的传输方向由基站通过高层信令半静态配置的。灵活时隙中的每个符号的传输方向是可变的,具体地,是由基站通过下行控制信息动态指示每次传输时所使用的时隙中每个符号的传输方向。
例如,固定时隙中包括固定上行符号(fixed uplink symbol)或固定下行符号(fixed downlink symbol)。灵活时隙可称为flexible slot,flexible slot中的每个符号的传输方向是在使用时由基站动态指示。
上述固定时间资源和灵活时间资源也可以以符号为单位,例如一个时隙中部分符号由高层信令半静态的配置固定用于下行,或者一个时隙中部分符号由高层信令半静态的配置固定用于上行,或者一个时隙中部分符号由高层信令半静态的配置固定用于下行,部分符号由高层信令半静态的配置固定用于上行。上述固定时间资源和灵活时间资源还可以以多个时隙为单位,本发明对此不做限定。
除了上述固定时间资源和灵活时间资源,还可以有预留资源(reserved resource)。如果终端被配置了预留资源,则终端在该预留资源上不做任何假设。不做任何假设的意思是终端认为在该预留资源上不会发生下行的传输和上行的传输。该预留资源可以由基站通过高层信令(例如,系统信息块(System Information Block,SIB)或RRC无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC))、广播信令(例如,物理广播信道(Physical Broadcast Channel,PBCH)承载的信令、MAC层信令、物理层信令(例如,下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI))配置给终端,本发明对此不做限定。
因此,基于背景技术中分配免调度的上行传输的资源的方法,可为终端配置固定上行时隙,即为终端固定上行时间资源,以及为终端分配某段固定的频率资源,用于传输在分配的时频资源上进行免调度的上行数据的传输。
如图1所示,为根据背景技术的方法分配时频资源的示意图。其中,分配的时间维度的时间资源为固定上行时间资源,例如为固定上行时隙,本申请中,也称为第一时间资源;分配的频率维度的频率资源为第一频率资源。
需要说明的是,图中只是示出了第一时间资源中的一部分,实际上,第一时间资 源可以是周期性的资源,在其他时间上,也可包括第一时间资源,为方便说明,本申请只是示出了部分第一时间资源,后续不再赘述。
因此,基于背景技术中的时频资源分配方法,只能在第一时间资源和第一频率资源构成的时频资源,即图1中的时频资源“1”上进行免调度的上行数据的传输。
基于图1所示的方法,当终端当前处于时频资源“2”所在的时间区间,且需要进行Grant free的上行传输,即进行免调度的上行传输,由于时频资源“2”并没有被配置为可进行Grant free的上行传输,因此,终端需要等待下一个周期到达,在其中的被配置为可进行Grant free的上行传输的时频资源上进行Grant free的上行传输,例如,如图2所示,为根据背景技术的方法分配时频资源的另一示意图,其中的时频资源“5”为下一周期的被配置为可进行Grant free的上行传输的时频资源,该时频资源在时间维度上称为第一时间资源,在频率维度上称为第一频率资源。因此,终端可在时频资源“5”上进行Grant free的上行传输,但造成了终端进行Grant free的上行传输的时延。甚至是,如果后续周期中没有可用于Grant free的上行传输的时频资源,则还会导致资源不够用,传输竞争和冲突增大,无法保证可靠性业务的高可靠性要求。
为解决上述问题,提高终端业务对低时延和高可靠的要求,本申请提出一种无线通信方法,终端接收来自基站的第一高层信令,所述第一高层信令用于配置第一时间资源和第一频率资源,所述第一时间资源和第一频率资源能够用于免调度的上行传输;所述终端接收下行控制信息,所述下行控制信息用于指示时隙的格式,所述格式指示了所述时隙中的符号的传输方向;其中,所述时隙中的上行符号为能够用于免调度的上行传输的时间资源。该方法中,基站除了通过第一高层信令指示了能够用于免调度的上行传输的第一时间资源和第一频率资源之外,还通过下行控制信息指示了时隙的格式,且时隙中的上行符号也能够用于免调度的上行传输,因而,基站可以通过下行控制信息为终端动态分配能够用于免调度的上行传输的时间资源,当第一时间资源不能使用或不够使用时,可使用该动态分配的时间资源,用于免调度的上行传输,从而可保证业务的低时延要求和高可靠性要求。
下面结合附图,对本申请提供的无线通信方法做具体描述。
如图3所示,为本申请的一种可能的网络架构示意图。包括至少一个终端10,通过无线接口与基站20通信,为清楚起见,图中只示出一个基站和一个终端。
其中,终端是一种具有无线收发功能的设备,可以部署在陆地上,包括室内或室外、手持或车载;也可以部署在水面上(如轮船等);还可以部署在空中(例如飞机、气球和卫星上等)。所述终端可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)终端、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)终端、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程医疗(remote medical)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端等等。
基站,是一种将终端接入到无线网络的设备,包括但不限于:5G中的gNB、演进型节点B(evolved node B,eNB)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller,RNC)、节点B(node B,NB)、基站控制器(base station controller,BSC)、基站收发台(base transceiver station,BTS)、家庭基站(例如,home evolved nodeB,或home node B, HNB)、基带单元(BaseBand Unit,BBU)、基站(g nodeB,gNB)、传输点(transmitting and receiving point,TRP)、发射点(transmitting point,TP)、移动交换中心等,此外,还可以包括Wifi接入点(access point,AP)等。
本申请各个实施例可以用于免调度(英文可以为Grant Free)传输。Grant free传输可以解决未来网络大量的MTC类业务,以及满足低时延、高可靠的业务传输。Grant free传输可以针对的是上行数据传输。本领域技术人员可以知道,Grant free传输也可以叫做其他名称,比如叫做自发接入、自发多址接入、或者基于竞争的多址接入等。本申请各个实施例可以运用于使用非正交多址接入的通信系统中。
例如有如下三种的Grant free传输:
类型1:上行数据传输不需要基站下发的Grant信息,只基于RRC配置/重配置的信息。
类型2:上行数据传输不需要基站下发的Grant信息,需要基于RRC配置信息和物理层信令(比如,L1信令(signalling))指示激活/去激活Grant free传输。
类型3:上行数据传输不需要基站下发的Grant信息,基于RRC配置/重配置的信息,允许物理层信令(如,L1 signalling)修改RRC信令半静态配置的一些参数,但不需要物理层信令(如,L1 signalling)激活/去激活Grant free传输。
如图4所示,本申请提供一种无线通信方法,该方法适用于图3所示的网络架构,该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤401、基站向终端发送第一高层信令,终端接收来自基站的第一高层信令。
在一种实现方式中,当Grant free是类型1或类型3时,该第一高层信令用于配置第一时间资源和第一频率资源,所述第一时间资源和第一频率资源能够用于免调度的上行传输。其中,第一时间资源,例如可以是时隙中的固定上行符号,即第一时间资源为传输方向固定为上行的符号。
如图1和图2所示,其中的时频资源“1”和“5”在时间维度上即为第一时间资源,在频率维度上即为第一频率资源。
即,通过上述步骤401,基站为终端分配了能够用于免调度的上行传输的时频资源,并且分配的时间资源为第一时间资源,第一时间资源中的符号固定为上行。
在另一种实现方式中,当Grant free是类型2时,第一高层信令则需要指示第一时间资源,不需要指示第一频率资源。对于第一频率资源,可由基站通过L1层的信令指示。
另外对于Grant free是类型3时的另一种实现方式中,第一高层信令也可以指示第一时间资源而不指示第一频率资源。对于第一频率资源,可由基站通过L1层的信令指示。
步骤402、基站向终端发送下行控制信息,终端接收来自基站的下行控制信息。
该下行控制信息用于指示时隙的格式,该格式(format)也可称为slot format,所述格式指示了时隙中的符号的传输方向,并且,时隙中的上行符号为能够用于免调度的上行传输的时间资源。
其中,可以是时隙中的所有上行符号能够用于免调度的上行传输,也可以是时隙中的部分上行符号能够用于免调度的上行传输。
以及,针对时隙中能够用于免调度的上行传输的上行符号,可以是使用这些上行 符号中的所有符号进行免调度的上行传输,也可以只使用这些符号中的部分符号进行免调度的上行传输。
通过图4所示的无线通信方法,基站除了通过第一高层信令指示了能够用于免调度的上行传输的第一时间资源和第一频率资源之外,还通过下行控制信息指示了时隙的格式,且时隙中的上行符号也能够用于免调度的上行传输,因而,基站可以通过下行控制信息为终端动态分配能够用于免调度的上行传输的时间资源,当第一时间资源不能使用或不够使用时,可使用该动态分配的时间资源,用于免调度的上行传输,从而可保证业务的低时延要求和高可靠性要求。
上述步骤402中,基站通过下行控制信息指示的时隙的格式可根据实际情况而定,以一个时隙包括7个符号为例,每个符号的传输方向可以是上行、下行或未知(即unknown或reserved或GP中的至少一种),因而,针对每个时隙,有3 7种格式,具体地,一个时隙使用哪种格式,是由基站进行指示的;再比如,若一个时隙包括14个符号,则每个时隙有3 14种格式。
当然,实际使用中,不是所有的格式都会使用,一般地,会预先定义好使用的哪几种格式,然后由基站通过指示信息指示选择哪种格式。
例如,参考图5,为本申请提供的一种时隙格式示例图,其中,假设协议定义了使用的四种时隙格式,其中,第一种时隙格式为:所有符号均为下行符号,用“00”表示,第二种时隙格式为:所有符号均为上行符号,用“01”表示,第三种时隙格式为:连续L个下行符号+连接M个未知符号+连续N个上行符号,L+M+N等于一个时隙中包含的符号数,且L>N,L,M,N的取值都是协议定义的,用“10”表示,第四种时隙格式为:连续L个下行符号+连接M个未知符号+连续N个上行符号,L+M+N等于一个时隙中包含的符号数,且L<N,L,M,N的取值都是协议定义的,用“11”表示。
基站和终端均预配置这几种格式信息,因此针对一个时隙,例如,当基站指示的时隙格式为“00”时,则终端知道该时隙的格式为:所有符号用于下行;再比如,当基站指示的时隙格式为“11”时,则终端知道该时隙的格式为:连续L个下行符号+连接M个未知符号+连续N个上行符号,且L<N,L,M,N的取值都是协议定义的。
上述步骤402中,基站通过下行控制信息指示了时隙的格式,具体指示的是候选时间资源集合中时隙的格式。在实际应用中,有多种确定时间资源的集合的方法,下面示例性地介绍几种。
其中,候选时间资源的集合可以是一个或多个无线帧的集合,每个无线帧包括多个子帧,每个子帧包括多个时隙,从而,候选时间资源的集合可看做是包括多个时隙。
候选时间资源的集合还可以是一个或多个子帧的集合,每个子帧包括多个时隙,从而,候选时间资源的集合可看做是包括多个时隙。
候选时间资源的集合还可以直接是一个或多个时隙的集合,该情形下,候选时间资源的集合也可以称为候选时隙的集合。
方法一、基站指示候选时间资源的集合
若使用该方法一,则在上述步骤402之前或之后,还包括:基站向终端发送第二高层信令,所述第二高层信令用于指示候选时间资源的集合,并且,上述步骤402中,下行控制信息指示的时隙的格式,即为该候选时间资源的集合中的时隙的格式,也可 以理解为,基站下发的控制信息,指示了第二高层信令指示的候选时间资源的集合中的时隙的格式。
因此,该方法一中,基站显示地通知终端,通过下行控制信息指示的时隙的格式,是候选时间资源的集合中的时隙的格式。
方法二、预定义候选时间资源的集合
该方法二,基站和终端预定义,候选时间资源的集合中的时隙为除第一时间资源之外的时间资源上的时隙,因此,当终端确定第一时间资源时,即可确定候选时间资源的集合。在方法二的另一种实现方式中,基站和终端预定义,候选时间资源的集合中的时隙为除第一时间资源和预留资源之外的时间资源上的时隙,因此,当终端确定第一时间资源和预留资源时,即可确定候选时间资源的集合。该方法具体还可以分为以下几种实现方式:
实现方式一、终端将除了第一时间资源之外的所有时间资源,或除了第一时间资源和预留资源之外的所有时间资源,中的第一时隙构成该候选时间资源的集合,其中,第一时隙指的是包含的符号的传输方向可灵活配置的时隙,也可以理解为,第一时隙为时隙格式可灵活配置的时隙,即,其时隙格式是由基站通过下行控制信息动态指示的,例如通过终端组公用的下行控制信道携带所述时隙格式的指示信息,其中,时隙格式(slot format)指的是时隙中的符号的传输方向。
实现方式二、终端将终端当前所在的系统帧中,除了第一时间资源之外的其它时间资源,或除了第一时间资源和预留资源之外的其他时间资源,中的第二时隙构成该候选时间资源的集合,其中,第二时隙指的是包含的符号的传输方向可灵活配置的时隙,即,其时隙格式是由基站通过下行控制信息动态指示的,例如通过终端组公用的下行控制信道携带所述时隙格式的指示信息。
实现方式三、终端将分配给终端的时间资源中,除了第一时间资源之外的其它时间资源,或除了第一时间资源和预留资源之外的其他时间资源,中的第三时隙构成该候选时间资源的集合,其中,第三时隙指的是包含的符号的传输方向可灵活配置的时隙,即,其时隙格式是由基站通过下行控制信息动态指示的,例如通过终端组公用的下行控制信道携带所述时隙格式的指示信息。
因此,通过上述方法一或方法二,终端可以确定下行控制信息中指示的是哪些时隙的格式。具体地,指示每个时隙的格式时,可以使用比特位来表示,例如,如图5所示,当时隙格式预定义只有4种时,指示的每个时隙的格式,可以是“00”、“01”、“10”、“11”中的一种。当然,如果预定义的格式有K种,K大于1,则指示每个时隙需要的比特位数为
Figure PCTCN2018100114-appb-000001
终端根据基站指示的时隙的格式,即可确定候选时间资源的集合中的每个时隙的格式,进而确定每个时隙中哪些符号被基站指示为上行符号,并将该上行符号用于免调度的上行传输。
通过上述各方法实施例,指示了终端可进行免调度的上行传输的时间资源,对于与该时间资源相对应的频率资源,则也可以有多种实现方式,下面分别介绍。
为方便说明,与下行控制信息指示的时间资源所对应的频率资源,本申请称为第二频率资源,有以下两种实现方式。
实现方式一、第二频率资源等于第一频率资源。
该实现方式中,通过下行控制信息指示的时间资源所对应的频率资源与第一频率资源相同。则终端确定第二频率资源的方法可以有以下两种具体实现方式,一种是预定义第二频率资源就是等于第一频率资源,因此终端可根据第一频率资源确定第二频率资源,或者也可以理解为,终端直接使用第一频率资源,另一种则是由基站通过第三高层信令指示,即在上述步骤402之前或之后,还包括:终端接收来自基站的第三高层信令,所述第三高层信令用于指示第二频率资源,所述第二频率资源等于第一频率资源。
基于实现方式一,则终端可在下行控制信息指示的时隙中的上行符号,以及该第二频率资源上,进行免调度的上行传输。
如图6(a)所示,为本申请提供的一种分配时频资源的示意图,其中,第二频率资源等于第一频率资源,基站通过下行控制信息指示的时间资源为灵活时间资源中被指示为上行传输的符号。例如,如图6(a)所示,基站指示的时间资源的格式为图5所示的第四种时隙格式。当然,图中只出了指示的一个时隙的时间资源,基站也可以指示候选时间资源的集合中的多个时隙的格式。
参照图6(b),为本申请提供的另一种分配时频资源的示意图,其中,基站通过下行控制信息指示了能够用于免调度的上行传输的时间资源,具体地为上行符号,结合第二频率资源,构成可用于上行Grant free的时频资源,如图6(b)所示,为时频资源“2”中的上行符号和第二频率构成的时频资源、时频资源“5”的全部(即时频资源“5”中的时隙均为上行符号)及时频资源“6”中的上行符号和第二频率构成的时频资源。
通过上述实现方式一,通过基站指示第二频率资源或者预定义第二频率资源,与第一频率资源相同,再结合基站通过下行控制信息指示的时间资源的格式,确定上行符号,从而构成可用于免调度的上行传输的时频资源。
实现方式二、第二频率资源为第一频率资源的子集。
该实现方式中,通过下行控制信息指示的时间资源所对应的频率资源,即第二频率资源,为第一频率资源的子集,这里,子集的含义为:第二频率资源与第一频率资源相同,或者,第二频率资源为第一频率资源的真子集。
当第二频率资源与第一频率资源相同时,可参考上述实现方式一,这里不再赘述。
当第二频率资源为第一频率资源的真子集时,则由基站通过第三高层信令指示,即在上述步骤402之前或之后,还包括:终端接收来自基站的第三高层信令,所述第三高层信令用于指示第二频率资源,所述第二频率资源为第一频率资源的真子集。
基于实现方式二,则终端可在下行控制信息指示的时隙中的上行符号,以及该第二频率资源上,进行免调度的上行传输。
如图7(a)所示,为本申请提供的另一种分配时频资源的示意图,其中,第二频率资源为第一频率资源真子集,基站通过下行控制信息指示的时间资源为灵活时间资源中被指示为上行传输的符号。例如,如图7(a)所示,基站指示的时间资源的格式为图5所示的第四种时隙格式。当然,图中只出了指示的一个时隙的时间资源,基站也可以指示候选时间资源的集合中的多个时隙的格式。
参照图7(b),为本申请提供的另一种分配时频资源的示意图,其中,基站通过下行控制信息指示了能够用于免调度的上行传输的时间资源,具体地为上行符号,结合第二频率资源,构成可用于上行Grant free的时频资源,如图7(b)所示,为时频资源“2” 中的上行符号和第二频率构成的时频资源、时频资源“5”中的上行符号和第二频率构成的时频资源及时频资源“6”中的上行符号和第二频率构成的时频资源。
当然,在另一种实现方式中,基站通过第三高层信令指示的第二频率资源,还可以是针对下行控制信息中指示的每个时隙,都有一个对应的第二频率资源,也可以理解为,不同时隙的第二频率资源可以相同,也可以不同,如图7(c),为本申请提供的另一种分配时频资源的示意图,其中,在时频资源“2”上指示的第二频率资源、在时频资源“5”上指示的第二频率资源、在时频资源“6”上指示的第二频率资源,互不相同。
需要说明的是,在实际使用中,如果采用该实现方式二,则采用如图7(b)的实现方式还是采用如图7(c)所示的实现方式,可根据需要而定,本申请不做限定。
通过上述实现方式二,通过基站指示第二频率资源,再结合基站通过下行控制信息指示的时间资源的格式,确定上行符号,从而构成可用于免调度的上行传输的时频资源。
在另外的可能的设计方式中,本申请,进一步地,还提供一种确定可用于免调度的上行传输的时频资源的确定方法,可选地,在上述步骤402之前或之后,还包括:基站向发送指示信息,所述指示信息用于指示第二时间资源,所述时间资源和所述第一频率资源之外的频率资源能够用于免调度的上行传输,其中,为方便说明,将第一频率资源之外的频率资源,称为第四频率资源。该第四频率资源可以理解为,基站为终端分配的可用频率资源中除了第一频率资源之外的其它频率资源。
其中,该指示信息可以是显示的指示信息,如由Group Common PDCCH携带,或者由隐式指示的方式,由Group Common的搜索空间(Search Space)的第一个控制信道单元(control channel element,CCE)隐式指示。
当终端接收到指示信息后,获取其中指示的第二时间资源,并根据预先预定,确定该第二时间资源对应所使用的频率资源为第四频率资源,因此,终端确定第二时间资源与第四频率资源构成的时频资源,为可用于免调度的上行传输的时频资源。
如图8(a)所示,为本申请提供的另一种分配时频资源的示意图,其中,第二时间资源与第一时间资源存在部分重叠,当然,也可以没有重叠。
在另外的实现方式中,还可以将该实现方式与上述实现方式一和实现方式二进行结合使用。例如,可以是通过基站下发高层信令,额外指示第四频率资源中的部分频率资源,称为第五频率资源,作为第二时间资源对应所使用的频率资源。如图8(b)所示,为本申请提供的另一种分配时频资源的示意图,其中,终端确定第二时间资源与第五频率资源构成的时频资源,为可用于免调度的上行传输的时频资源。
当然,基站下发高层信令指示第五频率资源,还可以是针对第二时间资源中的每个时隙,都有一个对应的第五频率资源,也可以理解为,不同时隙的第五频率资源可以相同,也可以不同,如图8(c),为本申请提供的另一种分配时频资源的示意图,其中,在时频资源“4”上指示的第五频率资源与在时频资源“3”上指示的第五频率资源互不相同。
在另外的实现方式中,还可以是将图8(a)~图8(c)所示的实现方式与图7(a)~图7(c)、图6(a)~图6(b)所示的实现方式相结合,形成新的实现方式。例如,如图9所示,为本申请提供的另一种分配时频资源的示意图,该实现方式是由图8(a)与图6(a)所示的实 现方式相结合形成的实现方式。对于其它结合的实现方式,本申请不做进行图示。
在另外的可能的设计方式中,本申请,进一步地,还提供一种确定可用于免调度的上行传输的时频资源的确定方法,可选地,在上述步骤402之前或之后,还包括:基站向终端发送上行调度授权,所述上行调度授权用于指示调度的第三时间资源和第三频率资源;其中,所述第三时间资源所在的时隙中未使用的上行符号和所述第三频率资源也能够用于免调度的上行传输。
在该实现方式中,基站通过上行调度,指示终端可使用的上行资源,如果其中有部分上行时频资源未使用,则可以将该未使用的上行时频资源,用于进行免调度的上行传输。
该实现方式可以与上述任一实现方式结合来使用,即可以与图6(a)~图6(b)、图7(a)~图7(c)、图8(a)~图8(c)中的任一实现方式相结合来使用。
如图10所示,为本申请提供的另一种分配时频资源的示意图,该实现方式可与上述图6(a)~图6(b)、图7(a)~图7(c)、图8(a)~图8(c)、图9中的任一实现方式相结合来使用,其中,图10是以与图7(a)所示的方式相结合为例进行说明。其中,基站通过上行调度授权,指示了三个时隙中的部分符号作为上行调度资源,具体地,分别在时频资源“2”、“3”、“4”中指示了第三时间资源和第三频率资源。
其中,第三时间资源所在的时隙均由未使用的上行符号,因此,该三个时隙中未使用的上行符号,可由终端作为免调度的上行资源,来传输上行数据。
该方式,给出了另一种确定能够用于免调度的上行传输的方法,即由基站向终端发送上行调度授权,用于指示调度的第三时间资源和第三频率资源,当第三时间资源所在的时隙中存在未使用的上行符号时,则可以通过该未使用的上行的符号,以及第三频率资源,免调度的上行传输,因而,进一步地增加了用于免调度的上行传输的资源,可进一步降低时延和提高业务可靠性。
本申请提供了多种为终端动态分配免调度的上行资源的方法,可以是图6(a)~图6(b)、图7(a)~图7(c)、图8(a)~图8(c)、图9、图10中的任一实现方式,也可以是任两种或多种实现方式的结合。基于这些实现方式,可为终端动态分配免调度的上行资源,从而可以满足终端的某些业务对于低时延和高可靠性的需求。
本申请通过以上任一实现方式或多种实现方式的组合,为终端动态分配能够用于免调度的上行传输的资源之后,终端可在所述能够用于免调度的上行传输的资源上发送数据。
如图11所示,为本申请提供的一种装置示意图,该装置可以是上述任一实施例中的终端,也可以是上述任一实施例中的基站,该装置可以是图3所示的系统架构中的终端或终端内的芯片,还可以是图3所示的系统架构中的基站或基站内的芯片。
