Description

信号传输方法、相关设备及系统 技术领域
本申请涉及无线通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种信号传输方法、相关设备及系统。
背景技术
作为新一代无线接入技术(new radio access technology,NR)关键技术之一,高频(high frequency,HF)可以提供更多的频谱资源、支持更多的天线数目,提升系统容量,已经得到了广泛研究。随着频率的提升,无线信号的波长相应地变短,短波长可以使得收发两端的天线尺寸大为缩减,多个天线因而能够被容易的集成在一个空间有限的面板之内。通过多天线的波束赋性技术,将发送信号能量汇集在某一方向上进行发送,可以有效提升覆盖,进而提高通信的性能。相应地,接收机可以形成具有方向性的接收波束,实现高增益的接收某一空间方向上到达的无线信号。伴随着天线封装技术的不断演进,多个天线阵子可以更容易地与芯片嵌套结合,形成一个天线面板或者天线阵列,这使得在发射机配置多个低相关性的天线面板(或天线阵列)成为可能。多个天线面板可以独立的形成发送波束,从而一个发射机可以通过不同的波束发送数据流,以提升传输的容量或可靠性。
其中,上行信号传输的功率控制对于整个无线通信系统至为重要。
上行功率控制是整个无线通信传输系统的关键,一方面要满足为了达到服务质量(QoS)所需的足够的每比特发送能量,另一方面是最小化对系统其他用户的干扰。为了实现这些目的,上行功率控制必须自适应无线传播信道特性。
传统的针对用户设备(user equipment,UE)端的功率控制方法可分为开环功率控制和闭环功率控制。开环功率控制中基站用固定的功率发射下行参考信号并通过SIB2告知UE该发射功率,UE根据接收到的参考信号强度推测出下行路径损耗(PL)并认为上行路径损耗与之相当,基站通过SIB2告知UE其希望的接收功率(P0),UE依据P0和PL来设置发送功率。而在闭环功率控制中,接收端通过实际接收的信噪比(SINR)和目标值比较,得到闭环功率控制命令(TPC,Transmit Power Control),并由PDCCH反馈给发送端。当SINR高于目标值时,命令发送端降低功率,当SINR低于目标值时,命令发送端提高功率。一般来讲,刚开机时,UE与TRP之间尚未建立起对话的通道,会采用开环功控。随着对话通道的建立成功,闭环功控开始发挥作用。
现有UE端功率控制集中在上行多个载波传输的信道上,通过载波间的功率协调来进行控制。然而,在LTE中,一个UE仅具有一个Antenna port/beam,而在NR中,一个UE可以具有多个天线面板,对应着多个Antenna port/beam,而针对于同一个UE上不同天线面板发射信号在UE侧的功率控制,现有协议内容并没有涉及。

在第i(i是正整数,i小于等于H)轮功率分配中,从未被确定第二发射功率的上行信号中确定当前路径损耗最小的上行信号,可表示为S i-minPL。分配给S i-minPL的实际发射功率可以为min{P′ i,Pmax}。这里,S i-minPL的实际发射功率即S i-minPL对应的第二发射功率,Pmax表示终端的最大传输功率,min表示取最小值。P i-r表示终端的最大发射功率中除去前面i-1轮中已分配的发射功率后剩余的发射功率。P′ i表示S i-minPL对应的第一发射功率。
具体的,在第i轮功率分配可以通过下述算法表示:
P i=min{P r,P′ i},
其中,当i=1时,Pr=Pmax,当i>1时,Pr=Pmax-P i-1-…-P 1
其中,P i表示S i-minPL对应的第二发射功率,P′ i表示S i-minPL对应的第一发射功率;Pmax表示终端的最大传输功率,Pr是所述终端的最大发射功率中除去前面i-1轮功率分配中已分配的发射功率后剩余的发射功率,0≤Pr≤Pmax;S i-minPL表示第i轮功率分配中路径损耗最小的未被确定第二发射功率的天线面板。
可选的,各个panel传输的上行信号各自相关的路径损耗可以根据各个panel传输的上行信号对应的用于估计路径损耗的参考信号计算得到。
结合第三方面或第四方面,在一些可选实施例中,M个uplink resource/resource set可仅配置1套功率控制参数。此时,H个上行信号各自对应的功率控制参数均为同一套功率控制参数。
在M个uplink resource/resource set仅配置1套功率控制参数的场景下,终端可以根据这一套功率控制参数确定H个panel各自传输的上行信号对应的第一发射功率,但需要考虑到各个panel各自对应路径损耗不同。
具体的,H个天线面板各自传输的上行信号对应的第一发射功率可以基于以下参数确定:这一套功率控制参数中包括上行信号的目标接收功率p0、路径损耗补偿因子alpha,以及基于H个panel各自传输的上行信号的spatial relation信息指示的参考信号测量得到的路径损耗。
在M个uplink resource/resource set仅配置1套功率控制参数的场景下,终端同样可以根据各上行信号相关的路径损耗,优先为路径损耗较小的上行信号对应的上行信号分配发射功率。具体实现可参考前述M个uplink resource/resource set配置有N套功率控制参数的场景下的功率分配方式,这里不再赘述。
结合第三方面或第四方面,在一些可选实施例中,panel的个数可以由以下一项或多项确定:M个uplink resource/resource set的spatial relation信息的个数、spatial relation信息指示的参考信号的个数、spatial relation信息指示的参考信号(如用于波束训练的SRS)所属的资源或资源集合或资源分组。
结合第三方面或第四方面,在一些可选实施例中,各个panel各自传输的上行信号相关 的路径损耗可以根据各个panel各自传输的上行信号对应的用于估计路径损耗的参考信号计算得到。可选的,一个panel传输的上行信号对应的用于估计路径损耗的参考信号可以是该上行信号spatial relation信息指示的参考信号。在可选的,一个panel传输的上行信号对应的用于估计路径损耗的参考信号可以是该panel传输的上行信号对应的功率控制参数中包括的路径损耗参考信号。
第三方面和第四方面描述的方案通过优先为PL较小的panel对应的上行信号分配发射功率,PL较小的传输路径的传输质量可以得到保障,可提高系统鲁棒性、稳定性。

具体实施方式
本申请的实施方式部分使用的术语仅用于对本申请的具体实施例进行解释,而非旨在限定本申请。
图1示出了本申请涉及的无线通信系统100。无线通信系统100可以工作在高频频段上,不限于长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统,还可以是第五代移动通信(the 5th Generation,5G)系统、新空口(NR)系统,机器与机器通信(Machine to Machine,M2M)系统、未来的通信系统,如第六代移动通信系统等。如图1所示,无线通信系统100可包 括:一个或多个网络设备101,一个或多个终端103,以及核心网(未示出)。其中:
网络设备101可以为基站,基站可以用于与一个或多个终端进行通信,也可以用于与一个或多个具有部分终端功能的基站进行通信(比如宏基站与微基站,如接入点,之间的通信)。基站可以是时分同步码分多址(Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access,TD-SCDMA)系统中的基站收发台(Base Transceiver Station,BTS),也可以是LTE系统中的演进型基站(Evolutional Node B,eNB),以及5G系统、新空口(NR)系统中的基站。另外,基站也可以为传输点(Transmission and Reception Point,TRP)、接入点(Access Point,AP)、中心单元(Central Unit,CU)或其他网络实体,并且可以包括以上网络实体的功能中的一些或所有功能。
终端103可以分布在整个无线通信系统100中,可以是静止的,也可以是移动的。在本申请的一些实施例中,终端103可以是用户设备(user equipment,UE)、移动设备、移动台(mobile station)、移动单元(mobile unit)、M2M终端、无线单元,远程单元、终端代理、移动客户端等等。
本申请中,无线通信系统100是多波束通信系统。其中:
如图1所示,网络设备101被配置有多个天线面板105,一个天线面板105包括多个天线阵子(antenna element)107。终端103被配置有多个天线面板105,一个天线面板105包括多个天线阵子107。网络设备101被配置的天线面板105的个数与终端103被配置的天线面板105的个数可以不同,也可以相同。网络设备101的单个天线面板105包括的天线阵子107的数量与终端103的单个天线面板105包括的天线阵子107的数量可以不同,也可以相同。
随着天线封装技术的不断演进,网络设备101或终端103的多个天线面板能够呈现出低相关性,多个天线面板可以独立形成发射波束,从而网络设备101或终端103的一个发射机可以通过不同的发射波束发送数据流。
本申请将主要讨论无线通信系统100中的上行信号传输的功率控制。上行信号传输的功率控制是整个无线通信系统的关键,一方面需要达到满足服务质量(QoS)所需的足够的每比特发送能量,另一方面需要最小化对系统其他用户的干扰。为了实现这些目的,上行功率控制必须自适应无线传播信道特性。
但是,针对于同一个终端的不同天线面板发射信号在终端侧的功率控制,现有协议内容并没有涉及。
下面简单介绍现有协议3gpp 38.331 R15版本、3gpp 38.213 R15版本中针对于上行信号,如探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS)、物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH)、物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)等,规定的功率控制。
1.SRS的功率控制
图2示出了现有协议3gpp 38.331 R15版本中定义的SRS-config IE中的SRS-ResourceSet域。如图2所示,现有协议中,SRS的功率分配方式是每个SRS资源集合(SRS resource set)中的参考信号共享同一套功率控制参数。这里,功率控制参数包括:alpha、p0、pathlossReferenceRS。其中,alpha表示路径损耗补偿因子,p0表示目标接收功 率,pathlossReferenceRS表示用于估计路径损耗的参考信号。
基于SRS-ResourceSet域中定义的功率控制参数,现有协议3gpp 38.213 R15版本中规定了SRS传输功率,具体如下:
如果UE在服务小区c的载波f使用索引值为l的SRS功率控制调整状态值,UE在SRS传输时机i发送的SRS传输功率为P SRS,b,f,c(i,q,l):
Figure PCTCN2019108759-appb-000001
其中,
-P CMAX,f,c(i)是为服务小区c的载波f在SRS传输时机i配置的UE传输功率。
-P O_SRS,b,f,c(q s)是通过高层参数p0为服务小区c的载波f上行BWP b配置的。SRS资源集合q s是通过高层参数SRS-ResourceSet和SRS-ResourceSetId配置的。P O_SRS,b,f,c(q s)用来表征目标接收功率。
-M SRS,b,f,c(i)是为服务小区c和μ的载波f上行BWP b在SRS传输时机i配置的SRS的传输带宽,用资源块个数表示。
SRS,b,f,c(q s)是通过高层参数alpha为服务小区c的载波f上行BWP b的SRS资源集合q s配置的,是路径损耗补偿因子。
-PL b,f,c(q d)是UE通过下行BWP上的参考信号索引q d计算得到的路径损耗,该参考信号与服务小区c的载波f上行BWP b的SRS资源集合q s配对。其中,与SRS资源集合q s关联的参考信号索引q d是由高层参数pathlossReferenceRS中的ssb-Index(用于指示SS/PBCH的资源索引)或者高层参数pathlossReferenceRS中的csi-RS-Index(用于指示CSI-RS的资源索引)。是终端基于RSRP的路径损耗测量值。
上述算法中涉及的其他参数以及其取值的计算方法都可以参考协议3gpp 38.213 R15,这里不再赘述。
可以看出,现有协议中规定,每个SRS资源集合(SRS resource set)共用一套功控参 数。也即是说,一个SRS资源集合中的每一个参考信号的发送功率是相同的。SRS的开环功率控制参数是通过高层信令配置的。当UE使用多个panel向一个TRP的多个panel或者多个TRP发射SRS时,UE的这多个panel的路径是不同的,信道情况也不同,若仍然使用相同的功控参数,那么功率利用效率就低。此外,当一个SRS资源集合承载的SRS通过多个panel发送时,如果每个panel均采用现有协议规定的功率控制参数,则这多个panel的总发送功率可能会超过UE的最大发送功率。
2.PUSCH的功率控制
现有技术中,PUSCH的功率分配是通过高层信令,或者高层信令(RRC)和物理层信令(DCI)共同决定。RRC信令配置的是开环功率控制参数,DCI指示的是闭环功率控制参数。但是,在某个特定场景(如初始接入场景、grant free场景、with grant场景)下,一份PUSCH资源只对应一套功率控制参数。
图3示出了现有协议3gpp 38.331 R15版本中定义的PUSCH-config IE,其中定义了PUSCH的功率控制参数。这里,功率控制参数包括:msg3-Alpha、p0-NominalWithoutGrant、P0-PUSCH-AlphaSet、ConfiguredGrantConfig指示P0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId,PUSCH-PathlossReferenceRS。其中,msg3-Alpha表示路径损耗补偿因子,p0-NominalWithoutGrant表示目标接收功率,PUSCH-PathlossReferenceRS表示用于估计路径损耗的参考信号。
基于PUSCH-config IE中定义的功率控制参数,现有协议3gpp 38.213 R15版本中规定了PUSCH传输功率,具体如下:
如果UE在服务小区c的载波f使用索引值为j的集合配置和索引值为l的SRS功率控制调整状态值,那么UE确定PUSCH在传输时机i的传输功率为P PUSCH,b,f,c(i,j,q d,l):
Figure PCTCN2019108759-appb-000002
[dBm]
其中
-P CMAX,f,c(i)是为服务小区c的载波f在PUSCH传输时机i配置的UE传输功率。
-P O_PUSCH,b,f,c(j)是由成员P O_NOMINAL_PUSCH,f,c(j)和成员P O_UE_PUSCH,b,f,c(j)的和构成的一个参数,其中j∈{0,1,...,,J-1}。
-
Figure PCTCN2019108759-appb-000003
是为服务小区c和μ的载波f上行BWP b在PUSCH传输时机i配置的PUSCH资源分配的带宽,用资源块个数表示。
-PL b,f,c(q d)是UE通过下行BWP上的参考信号索引q d计算得到的路径损耗,该参考信号与服务小区c的载波f上行BWP b的SRS资源集合q s配对。
上述算法中涉及的其他参数以及其取值的计算方法都可以参考协议3gpp 38.213 R15,这里不再赘述。
可以看出,PUSCH的功率控制参数是通过高层信令配置,或者高层信令与物理层信令结合配置的,但是每一份PUSCH资源只对应一套功率控制参数。当UE使用多个panel向一个TRP的多个panel或者多个TRP发射PUSCH时,UE的这多个panel的传输路径是不同的,信道情况也不同,若仍然使用相同的功率控制参数,那么功率利用效率就低。此外,当一个PUSCH资源承载的PUSCH通过多个panel发送时,如果每个panel均采用现有协议规定的功率控制参数,则这多个panel的总发送功率可能会超过UE的最大发送功率。
3.PUCCH的功率控制
图4A-图4B示出了现有协议3gpp 38.331 R15版本中定义的PUCCH-config IE和PUCCH-PowerControl IE,其中定义了PUCCH的功率控制参数。可以看出,现有协议中,高层参数resourceSetToAddModList/resourceSetToReleaseList表示的PUCCH resource set list对应一套功率控制参数,即一个PUCCH resource set list中包括的一个或多个PUCCH resource set对应一套功率控制参数。高层参数resourceToAddModList/resourceToReleaseList表示的PUCCH resource list对应一套功率控制参数,即一个PUCCH resource list中包括的一个或多个PUCCH resource对应一套功率控制参数。概括的说,现有协议中,一个PUCCH resource set list或resource list只对应一套功率控制参数。
PUCCH-PowerControl IE中定义了功率控制参数,具体包括:P0-PUCCH、PUCCH-PathlossReferenceRS。其中,P0-PUCCH表示目标接收功率,PUCCH-PathlossReferenceRS表示用于估计路径损耗的参考信号。对于PUCCH来说,路径损耗补偿因子的取值范围可为0至1。为了保证PUCCH的高可靠性,会尽量使PUCCH的发射功率较大,可根据实际情况确定路径损耗补偿因子的取值。
现有协议对基于PUCCH功率控制参数确定PUCCH发射功率的方式类似于SRS和PUSCH的功率控制机制,具体可参考3gpp 38.331 R15版本、3gpp 38.213 R15版本,此处不再赘述。PUCCH也有与SRS、PUSCH一样的问题。
另外,现有协议对PRACH等上行信道也定义了类似SRS、PUSCH和PUCCH的功率控制机制,具体可参考3gpp 38.331 R15版本、3gpp 38.213 R15版本,此处不再赘述。PRACH也有与SRS、PUSCH、PUCCH一样的问题。
为了解决现有的技术问题,适应多panel终端的上行功率控制,本申请提供了一种信号传输方法。下面将详细说明。
首先,介绍本申请涉及的概念。
(1)空间相关(Spatial Relation)信息:用于辅助描述终端发射侧波束赋形信息以及发射流程。
Spatial Relation信息用于指示两种参考信号或信道之间的空间接收参数或空间发送参数关系。这两种参考信号或信道包括目标参考信号或信道,源参考信号或信道。其中,目标参考信号或信道是终端发射的上行参考信号或信道,一般是可以是解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS),探测参考信号(SRS)、PUSCH、PUCCH等;源参考信号或信道(又可称为被引用的参考信号或信道)一般可以是信道状态信息参考信号 (channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS)、探测参考信号(SRS)、同步信号广播信道块(synchronous signal/PBCH block,SS/PBCH block)等。
满足Spatial Relation信息的两个参考信号或信道的空间特性参数是相同的,从而基于源参考信号的资源索引可推断出目标参考信号的空间特性参数。
可选地,空间特性参数包括以下参数中的一种或多种:入射角(angle of arrival,AoA)、主(Dominant)入射角AoA、平均入射角、入射角的功率角度谱(power angular spectrum,PAS)、出射角(angle of departure,AoD)、主出射角、平均出射角、出射角的功率角度谱、终端发送波束成型、终端接收波束成型、空间信道相关性、基站发送波束成型、基站接收波束成型、平均信道增益、平均信道时延(average delay)、时延扩展(delay spread)、多普勒扩展(Doppler spread)、多普勒频移(Doppler shift)、空间接收参数(spatial Rx parameters)、空间发送参数(spatial Tx parameters)等。
这些空间特性参数描述了源参考信号与目标参考信号的天线端口间的空间信道特性,有助于终端设备根据Spatial Relation信息完成发射侧波束赋形或发射处理过程。终端可以根据Spatial Relation信息指示的源参考信号的发射波束信息,发射目标参考信号或信道。
(2)波束(beam)
波束是一种通信资源。波束可以是宽波束,或者窄波束,或者其他类型波束。形成波束的技术可以是波束赋形技术或者其他技术手段。波束赋形技术可以具体为数字波束赋形技术,模拟波束赋形技术,混合数字/模拟波束赋形技术。不同的波束可以认为是不同的资源。通过不同的波束可以发送相同的信息或者不同的信息。可选的,可以将具有相同或者类似的通信特征的多个波束视为是一个波束。一个波束内可以包括一个或多个天线端口,用于传输数据信道,控制信道和探测信号等,例如,发射波束可以是指信号经天线发射出去后在空间不同方向上形成的信号强度的分布,接收波束可以是指从天线上接收到的无线信号在空间不同方向上的信号强度分布。可以理解的是,形成一个波束的一个或多个天线端口也可以看作是一个天线端口集。
波束可以分为网络设备的发送波束和接收波束,与终端设备的发送波束和接收波束。网络设备的发送波束用于描述网络设备发送侧波束赋形信息,基站接收波束用于描述网络设备接收侧波束赋形信息,终端设备的发送波束用于描述终端设备发送侧波束赋形信息,终端接收波束用于描述终端设备接收侧波束赋形信息。也即波束用于描述波束赋形信息。
波束可以对应时间资源和或空间资源和或频域资源。
可选地,波束还可以与参考信号资源(例如,波束赋形的参考信号资源),或者波束赋形信息对应。也即是说,指示波束等同于指示参考信号资源或波束赋形信息。
可选地,波束还可以与参考信号资源关联的信息对应,其中参考信号可以为CSI-RS,SSB,DMRS,相位跟踪参考信号(phase tracking reference signal,PTRS),跟踪参考信号(tracking reference signal或者CSI-RS for tracking,TRS),SRS等,参考信号资源关联的信息可以是参考信号资源标识,或者QCL信息(特别是type D类型的QCL),空间相关信息等。其中,参考信号资源标识对应了之前基于该参考信号资源测量时建立的一个收发波束对,通过该参考信号资源索引,终端可推断波束信息。也即是说,指示波束等同于指示参 考信号关联的信息,如参考信号资源标识,或者QCL信息,空间相关信息等。
可选地,波束还可以与空域滤波器(spatial filter/spatial domain filter),空域传输滤波器(spatial domain transmission filter)对应。也即是说,指示波束等同于指示空域滤波器,空域传输滤波器。
其次,介绍本申请提供的技术方案。
(1)方案1:在终端具有L(L>1,L是正整数)个panel的场景下,为M(M≥1,M是正整数)个上行信号资源或上行信号资源集合(uplink resource/resource set)配置N(N>1,N是正整数)套功率控制参数。这N套功率控制参数是基于终端的K(K≤L,K是正整数)个panel配置的。也即是说,这N套功率控制参数与终端的多个panel之间存在映射关系。
可选的,M个uplink resource/resource set中的每一个uplink resource/resource set均关联这N套功率控制参数。这里,M个uplink resource/resource set中的每一个uplink resource/resource set均关联这N套功率控制参数是指M个uplink resource/resource set中的每一个uplink resource/resource set对应的功率控制参数均可选自N套功率控制参数。换句话说,这N套功率控制参数为M个uplink resource/resource set中的每一个uplink resource/resource set的候选(candidate)功率控制参数。
可选的,M个uplink resource/resource set中有至少一个uplink resource/resource set关联这N套功率控制参数。这里,至少一个uplink resource/resource set关联这N套功率控制参数是指至少一个uplink resource/resource set各自对应的功率控制参数都可选自N套功率控制参数。换句话说,这N套功率控制参数为至少一个uplink resource/resource set的候选(candidate)功率控制参数。
可选的,M个uplink resource/resource set中有至少一个uplink resource/resource set关联这N套功率控制参数中至少一套功率控制参数。这里,至少一个uplink resource/resource set关联该至少一套功率控制参数是指至少一个uplink resource/resource set各自对应的功率控制参数都可选自该至少一套功率控制参数。换句话说,该至少一套功率控制参数为该至少一个uplink resource/resource set的候选(candidate)功率控制参数。
方案1考虑了终端的多个panel对应的多个传输路径,为M个uplink resource/resource set配置了多套功率控制参数。这样,这样终端便可以基于spatial relation信息或其他下行信息(如panel开关指示或者panel ID信息或传输方式)来灵活确定采用哪一套或哪些套功控参数,可实现更加灵活的上行发射功率的调整,可实现上行传输的功率效率和上行传输性能的最大化。后续内容会详细介绍方案1的具体内容,这里先不赘述。
(2)方案2:在多panel传输SRS/PUCCH/PUSCH等上行信号的场景下,根据路径损耗(path loss,PL)为各个panel对应的上行信号分配发射功率,具体优先为PL较小的panel对应的上行信号分配发射功率。Panel对应的上行信号是指panel传输的上行信号。通过优先为PL较小的panel对应的上行信号分配发射功率,PL较小的传输路径的传输质量可以得到保障,可提高系统鲁棒性、稳定性。后续内容会详细介绍方案2的具体内容,这里先不赘述。
本申请中,功率控制参数可包括以下一项或多项:上行信号的目标接收功率、路径损耗补偿因子、路径损耗参考信号。其中,目标接收功率P0是指网络设备能够解调上行信号的最低信号强度,或者说是网络设备期望接受上行信号时的接收功率;路径损耗补偿因子alpha/α是指网络设备通过该补偿因子来决定路径损耗在上行功率控制中的权重;路径损耗参考信号pathloss RS是指终端根据接收到的用于估计路径损耗的参考信号的强度推测出下行路径损耗(PL)并认为上行路径损耗与之相当。可选的,对于SRS、PUSCH来说,功率控制参数可包括上行信号的目标接收功率、路径损耗补偿因子、路径损耗参考信号这三项。可选的,对于PUCCH来说,功率控制参数可包括上行信号的目标接收功率、路径损耗参考信号这两项。
下面详细介绍方案1,方案1主要讨论如何为多panel终端配置传输上行信号的功率控制参数。图5示出了方案1描述的信号传输方法的总体流程图,该方法可包括:
S101,网络设备为M个uplink resource/resource set配置N套功率控制参数。这N套功率控制参数是基于终端的多个panel配置的。这多个panel可以是终端的部分或全部panel,这多个panel的数量为K,K≤L,K是正整数。
可选的,终端可以向网络设备上报终端具有的panel或panel数量,或者终端通过终端能力参数上报其panel ID或panel个数。
S102,网络设备向终端发送配置信息。该配置信息指示为M个uplink resource/resource set配置N套功率控制参数。相应的,终端设备接收到网络设备发送的该配置信息。
可选的,该配置信息可以指示panel与功率控制参数之间的映射。可选的,该配置信息也可以仅指示N套功率控制参数,N套功率控制参数与panel之间的映射可以遵循预设映射规则,该预设映射规则为终端所知。例如,该预设映射规则可以为:功率控制参数与panel按序映射,即:第1套功率控制参数对应第1个panel,第2套功率控制参数对应第2个panel,以此类推。在该示例中,该配置信息仅指示N套功率控制参数即可,无需指示功率控制参数与panel之间的映射,终端根据预设映射规则便知道功率控制参数与panel之间的映射,可以节约信令开销。示例仅仅用于解释本申请,关于该预设映射规则,本申请不做限制。
可选的,该预设映射规则可以通过协议预定义,也可以通过网络设备发送信令指示。当该预设映射规则通过网络设备发送的信令指示时,该信令可以与网络设备指示N套功率控制参数的信令是同一个信令或者是不同的信令。
可选的,网络设备可以通过无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)等信令传输该配置信息,即网络设备可以通过静态配置的方式配置N套功率控制参数。网络设备也可以通过MAC CE等信令传输该配置信息,即网络设备可以通过半静态配置的方式配置N套功率控制参数。
S103,网络设备向终端发送spatial relation信息或其他下行信息(如panel的开关指示信息或者panel ID或传输方式的指示信息)。相应的,终端设备接收到网络设备发送的spatial relation信息或其他下行信息。这些信息可用来确定终端在M个uplink resource/resource set上传输上行信号时使用的功率控制参数。
S104,终端设备在M个uplink resource/resource set上传输上行信号,在该M个uplink  resource/resource set上传输上行信号的发射功率依据第一功率控制参数确定,第一功率控制参数选自N套功率控制参数。
第一功率控制参数为终端在该M个uplink resource/resource set上传输上行信号时使用的功率控制参数。第一功率控制参数可以为N套功率控制参数中的一套或多套功率控制参数。
可选的,第一功率控制参数可以根据网络设备发送的spatial relation信息或其他下行信息确定。关于如何确定第一功率控制参数,在后续描述的本申请涉及的方面(二)中会详细介绍,这里先不赘述。
图5中的S103可以是可选步骤。第一功率控制参数也可以是协议预定义的,网络设备不需要进行指示。终端也可以根据终端先前上报的信息,如信道质量测量报告、信道质量优良的panel的标识信息等确定第一功率控制参数,无需网络设备进行指示。终端也可以根据终端侧的测量结果确定第一功率控制参数,无需网络设备进行指示。
对于不同的上行信号,为M个uplink resource/resource set配置N套功率控制参数具体可为:
1.为一个SRS resource set配置N套功率控制参数,此时M=1。与现有技术不同的是,一个SRS resource set不再只对应一套功率控制参数,而是对应多套功率控制参数。不限于此,也可以将多个SRS resource set绑定在一起,为这多个SRSresource set配置N套功率控制参数,此时M>1。
为这多个SRS resource set配置N套功率控制参数具体可包括以下几种情况:
情况1,可选的,这多个SRS resource set中每一个SRS resource set各自对应的功率控制参数均可以选自N套功率控制参数。
情况2,可选的,这多个SRS resource set中至少有一个SRS resource set各自对应的功率控制参数均可以选自N套功率控制参数。
情况3,可选的,这多个SRS resource set中至少有一个SRS resource set各自对应的功率控制参数可以选自N套功率控制参数中的至少两套功率控制参数。
举例说明,假定这多个SRS resource set是SRS resource set 0,SRS resource set 1,SRS resource set 2,N套功率控制参数为参数0至参数3。那么,情况1可如表1示例性所示,情况2可如表2示例性所示,情况3可如表3示例性所示:
Figure PCTCN2019108759-appb-000004
表1
从表1可以看出,SRS resource set 0,SRS resource set 1,SRS resource set 2中每一个SRS resource set对应的功率控制参数均可选自参数0至参数3。
Figure PCTCN2019108759-appb-000005
Figure PCTCN2019108759-appb-000006
表2
从表2可以看出,SRS resource set 0,SRS resource set 1,SRS resource set 2中的SRS resource set 0和SRS resource set 1对应的功率控制参数均可选自参数0至参数3,SRS resource set 2对应的功率控制参数为参数2。
Figure PCTCN2019108759-appb-000007
表3
从表3可以看出,SRS resource set 0,SRS resource set 1,SRS resource set 2中的SRS resource set 0和SRS resource set 1对应的功率控制参数均可选自参数0和参数1,SRS resource set 2对应的功率控制参数为参数1。
2.为一个PUSCH resource配置N套功率控制参数,此时M=1。与现有技术不同的是,一个PUSCH resource不再只对应一套功率控制参数,而是对应多套功率控制参数。不限于此,也可以将多个PUSCH resource绑定在一起,为这多个PUSCH resource配置N套功率控制参数,此时M>1。
类似的,为这多个PUSCH resource配置N套功率控制参数具体可包括以下几种情况:
情况1,可选的,这多个PUSCH resource中每一个PUSCH resource各自对应的功率控制参数均可以选自N套功率控制参数。
情况2,可选的,这多个PUSCH resourcet中至少有一个PUSCH resource各自对应的功率控制参数均可以选自N套功率控制参数。
情况3,可选的,这多个PUSCH resource中至少有一个PUSCH resource各自对应的功率控制参数可以选自N套功率控制参数中的至少两套功率控制参数。
3.为一个PUCCH resource set list或resource list配置N套功率控制参数。其中,一个PUCCH resource set list包括M(M≥1,M是正整数)个PUCCH resource set,一个PUCCH resource list包括M(M≥1,M是正整数)个PUCCH resource。与现有技术不同的是,一个PUCCH resource set list或resource list不再只对应一套功率控制参数,而是对应多套功率控制参数。
对于其他上行信号(如PARCH)的功率控制来说,为M个uplink resource/resource set配置N套功率控制参数的具体实现可以类似于上述1-3的描述,这里不再赘述。
可以看出,方案1考虑了终端的多个panel对应的多个传输路径,为M个uplink resource/resource set配置了多套功率控制参数。这样,终端便可以根据spatial relation信息或其他下行信息(如panel的开关指示信息或者panel ID或传输方式的指示信息)选择合适的功率控制参数,灵活确定上行发射功率,提高终端功率利用效率。
以SRS为例进行说明,假设网络设备基于终端的panel-0和panel-1为每一个SRS  resource set配置的功率控制参数如表4所示(M=1,N=3):
天线面板 SRS功率控制参数
panel-0 参数0
panel-1 参数1
panel-0和panel-1 参数2
表4
其中,表4的含义为:终端仅采用panel-0传输SRS所使用的功率控制参数为参数0,终端仅采用panel-1传输SRS所使用的功率控制参数为参数1,终端采用panel-0和panel-1传输SRS所使用的功率控制参数为参数2。
从上述示例可以看出,终端传输SRS时使用的功率控制参数依据终端传输SRS采用的panel确定,区别考虑了3种panel使用情况。终端可以根据实际的panel使用情况从3套功率控制参数中选择相应的功率控制参数,可以更加灵活的适应实际信道情况,提高功率利用效率。
本申请中,单panel传输就是指,终端设备在第一时间单元内,使用一个panel传输一个或多个上行信号。多panel传输就是指,终端设备在第一时间单元内,使用至少两个panel传输一个或多个上行信号。可选地,当多panel传输多个上行信号时,该多个上行信号至少有部分在时间上重叠。第一时间单元可以为一个或多个符号(symbol)、一个或多个时隙(slot)、一个或多个子帧(subframe)等。
下面结合图6进行举例说明:若第一时间单元为1个slot,那么,slot 0属于单panel传输SRS,slot 1-4均属于多panel传输。若第一时间单元为ofdm symbol,那么,slot0、slot1属于单panel传输,slot2和slot4属于多panel传输。slot3中,panel-0传输的SRS和panel-1传输的SRS不重叠的symbol属于单panel传输,panel-0传输的SRS和panel-1传输的SRS重叠的symbol属于多panel传输。
下面详细说明方案1涉及的几个方面(一)至(二)。
(一)配置N套功率控制参数的方式
方式1.针对每个panel分别配置功率控制参数(per panel配置方式)
具体的,为M个uplink resource/resource set配置(K+Q)套功率控制参数,即N=K+Q,其中K套功率控制参数分别配置给K个panel单独传输上行信号时使用,Q套功率控制参数配置给多panel传输上行信号时使用。Q≥1,Q是正整数。K个panel是指终端的多个panel,K≤L,L表示终端的panel数量。
以SRS为例进行说明,假设K个panel为panel-0和panel-1,那么方式1为每一个SRS resource set配置的N套功率控制参数可以如表5示例性所示:
天线面板 SRS功率控制参数
panel-0 参数0
panel-1 参数1
panel-0和panel-1 参数2
表5
其中:
参数0是一套功率控制参数,配置给仅采用panel-0传输SRS时使用;
参数1是一套功率控制参数,配置给仅采用panel-1传输SRS时使用;
参数2可以是一套功率控制参数(Q=1),配置给panel-0和panel-1传输SRS时使用,此时panel-0的发射功率控制和panel-1的发射功率控制都遵循这一套功率控制参数;参数2也可以是两套功率控制参数(Q=2),配置给panel-0和panel-1传输SRS时使用,此时panel-0的发射功率控制遵循其中一套功率控制参数,panel-1的发射功率控制遵循其中另一套功率控制参数。
在参数2是两套功率控制参数(Q=2)的情况下,可选的,参数2中用于panel-0的一套功率控制参数通常可以不同于参数0(即仅采用panel-0传输SRS时使用的功率控制参数)。因为在仅采用panel-0传输SRS时使用的参数0对应的发射功率会接近或等于终端的最大发射功率,以提高功率利用率,而在panel-0和panel-1传输SRS时参数2包括的两套功率控制参数各自对应的发射功率总和才会接近或等于终端的最大发射功率,因此,参数2中用于panel-0的一套功率控制参数对应的发射功率会小于参数0对应的发射功率。同理,可选的,参数2中用于panel-1的一套功率控制参数通常可以不同于参数1,参数2中用于panel-1的一套功率控制参数对应的发射功率会小于参数1对应的发射功率。
表5仅仅用于解释本申请,表5和其他表格中的相同命名的参数并不代表其取值也一样。实际应用中,当K>2时,多panel传输SRS的情况会更多,包括2个panel传输SRS的情况,3个panel传输SRS的情况,4个panel传输SRS的情况等等。对于多于2个panel传输SRS的情况,配置的功率控制参数的实现可参考表5中参数2的实现。例如,对于3个panel传输SRS的情况,配置给3个panel传输SRS的功率控制参数可以只是一套功率控制参数,此时3个panel的发射功率控制共同遵循这一套功率控制参数;配置给3个panel传输SRS的功率控制参数也可以是三套功率控制参数,此时3个panel的发射功率控制各自遵循一套功率控制参数;配置给3个panel传输SRS的功率控制参数还可以是两套功率控制参数,此时3个panel中的某2个panel的发射功率控制共同遵循一套功率控制参数,剩余1个panel的发射功率控制遵循另一套功率控制参数。
可以看出,在采用方式1配置N套功率控制参数的情况下,终端在确定出传输上行信号所采用的panel的条件下,便可以从该N套功率控制参数中选择出用于传输上行信号的功率控制参数,即第一功率控制参数。
方式2.依据传输方式配置功率控制参数
具体的,可以根据传输方式为M个uplink resource/resource set配置N套功率控制参数,一种传输方式可以对应一套或多套功率控制参数。
这里,传输方式可以包括:单panel传输,多panel传输,单站传输,多站传输。其中,多panel传输可以具体包括:双panel传输、三panel传输、四panel传输等。单站点传输可能会包括DPS(dynamic point switching)传输方式;多站传输主要描述多点协作传输(coordinated multipoint transmission/reception,CoMP),其中CoMP可以包括非相干联合发送(non coherent joint transmission,NCJT)、相干联合发送(coherent joint transmission,CJT)、 联合发送(joint transmission,JT)等。
以SRS为例进行说明,方式2为每一个SRS resource set配置的N套功率控制参数可以如表6示例性所示:
传输方式 SRS功率控制参数
单panel传输 参数0
双panel传输 参数1
三panel传输 参数2
DPS 参数3
NCJT 参数4
CJT 参数5
JT 参数6
表6
其中:
参数0是配置给单panel传输SRS时使用的功率控制参数;可选的,参数0可以是一套功率控制参数,可选的,参数0也可以是多套功率控制参数;
参数1是配置给双panel传输SRS时使用功率控制参数;可选的,参数1可以是一套功率控制参数,可选的,参数1也可以是多套功率控制参数;
参数2是配置给三panel传输SRS时使用功率控制参数;可选的,参数2可以是一套功率控制参数,可选的,参数2也可以是多套功率控制参数;
参数3是配置给采用DSP传输方式传输SRS时使用功率控制参数;可选的,参数3可以是一套功率控制参数,可选的,参数3也可以是多套功率控制参数;
参数4是配置给采用NCJT传输方式传输SRS时使用功率控制参数;可选的,参数4可以是一套功率控制参数,可选的,参数4也可以是多套功率控制参数;
参数5是配置给采用CJT传输方式传输SRS时使用功率控制参数;可选的,参数5可以是一套功率控制参数,可选的,参数5也可以是多套功率控制参数;
参数6是配置给采用JT传输方式传输SRS时使用功率控制参数;可选的,参数6可以是一套功率控制参数,可选的,参数6也可以是多套功率控制参数。
可选的,可以为M个uplink resource/resource set共配置2套功率控制参数,即N=2。在这2套功率控制参数中,一套功率控制参数配置给单panel传输上行信号时使用,另一套功率控制参数配置给多panel传输上行信号时使用。
以SRS为例进行说明,假设基于终端的4个panel(panel-0至panel-3)配置功率控制参数,那么为每一个SRS resource set配置的2套功率控制参数可以如表9示例性所示:
Figure PCTCN2019108759-appb-000008
Figure PCTCN2019108759-appb-000009
表7
其中:
参数0是一套功率控制参数,配置给单panel传输SRS时使用;
参数1是一套功率控制参数,配置给多panel传输SRS时使用,此时各个panel的发射功率控制都遵循这一套功率控制参数;
表7中,单panel传输SRS包括4种情况:仅采用panel-0传输SRS,仅采用panel-1传输SRS,仅采用panel-2传输SRS,仅采用panel-3传输SRS。这4种情况的单panel传输的发射功率控制均遵循参数0。多panel传输SRS包括3种情况:panel-0和panel-2传输SRS,panel-1和panel-3传输SRS,panel-0至panel-3这4个panel传输SRS。这3种情况的多panel传输的发射功率控制均遵循参数1。表7仅用于解释本申请,不应构成限定。
可以看出,在采用方式2配置2套功率控制参数的情况下,终端仅在确定出传输上行信号所采用的panel数量的条件下,便可以确定出传输上行信号使用的功率控制参数,即第一功率控制参数。
方式3.类似方式1,但不为多panel传输上行信号配置功率控制参数
具体的,为M个uplink resource/resource set配置K套功率控制参数,即N=K,这K套功率控制参数分别配置给K个panel单独传输上行信号时使用。其中,K套功率控制参数分别对应K个天线面板。至少2个panel传输上行信号时采用的功率控制参数包括该至少2个panel分别单独传输上行信号时采用的功率控制参数。终端可以在各个天线面板上根据各个天线面板各自对应的功率控制参数传输上行信号。
也即是说,多个panel传输上行信号时使用的功率控制参数复用这多个panel各自对应的单panel传输上行信号时使用的功率控制参数。可选地,多个panel传输上行信号时使用的功率控制参数还可以配合缩放因子(scaling factor)以确保各panel的发射功率总和不超过终端的最大传输功率。K个panel是指终端的多个panel,K≤L,L表示终端的panel数量。
以SRS为例进行说明,假设基于终端的4(即K=4)个panel(panel-0至panel-3)配置功率控制参数,那么方式3为每一个SRS resource set配置的功率控制参数可以如表8示例性所示:
天线面板 SRS功率控制参数
panel-0 参数0
panel-1 参数1
panel-2 参数2
panel-3 参数3
panel-0和panel-2 参数0和参数2(配合缩放因子)
panel-1和panel-3 参数1和参数3(配合缩放因子)
panel-0,panel-1,panel-2和panel-3 参数0至参数3(配合缩放因子)
表8
从表8可以看出,针对单panel传输SRS的情况,方式3和方式1是相同的,都是为每一个panel配置功率控制参数。但是,针对多panel传输SRS的情况,方式3没有为多panel传输SRS额外配置功率控制参数,而是复用了单panel传输时使用的功率控制参数。如表8所示,panel-0和panel-2传输SRS使用的功率控制参数为仅panel-0传输SRS时使用的参数0和仅panel-2传输SRS时使用的参数2,另外还需要缩放因子。当panel-0和panel-2传输SRS时,panel-0的发射功率依据参数0和缩放因子确定,panel-2的发射功率依据参数2和缩放因子确定。缩放因子用于确保多panel传输SRS时,多panel的发射功率总和不超过终端的最大传输功率。多panel可以共享一个缩放因子,也可以对应不同的缩放因子,本申请对此不做限制。
上述方式1至方式3描述的3种配置N套功率控制参数的方式可以结合实施,即对不同的资源可以采用不同方式配置N套功率控制参数。例如,可以采用上述方式1为SRS resource set 1配置N套功率控制参数,可以采用上述方式2为SRS resource set 2配置N套功率控制参数,可以采用上述方式3为SRS resource set 3配置N套功率控制参数。即,不一定针对每一个SRS resource set都采用相同方式配置功率控制参数。示例仅仅用于解释本申请,不应构成限定。
(二)确定第一功率控制参数的方式
1.基于网络设备的隐式指示确定第一功率控制参数
具体的,网络设备可以向终端发送M个uplink resource/resource set的spatial relation信息。相应的,终端可以接收网络设备发送的该spatial relation信息。一个uplink resource/resource set的spatial relation信息指示的参考信号和该uplink resource/resource set承载的上行信号具有相同空间特性参数。该spatial relation信息指示的参考信号即前面空间相关(Spatial Relation)信息的介绍内容中提及的源参考信号,可以包括SRS、CSI-RS等。
可选的,终端可以基于spatial relation信息确定出第一功率控制参数。
可选的,终端基于spatial relation信息确定出第一功率控制参数可以包括以下几种实现方式:
(1)第1种实现方式,第一功率控制参数可以根据M个uplink resource/resource set的spatial relation信息指示的参考信号所采用的panel来确定。
例子1,假设网络设备为每一个SRS resource set配置的N套功率控制参数如上述表5所示。假设某一个SRS resource set的spatial relation信息指示的参考信号为CSI-RS 1,且假设终端接收CSI-RS1所采用的panel或终端上报的CSI-RS1的测量结果所采用的panel如表9所示:
CSI-RS 天线面板
CSI-RS 0 panel-0
CSI-RS 1 panel-1
表9
可选的,表9中CSI-RS对应的panel可以是最近一次接收或测量或上报CSI-RS使用的panel,也可以是某一段时间内多次接收或测量或上报的CSI-RS信道质量最高的一次,或CSI-RS平均信道质量最高时使用的panel。可选地,表9中CSI-RS对应的panel也有可能是终端使用每种panel组合在一段时间内进行信道质量测量,平均质量最高的panel组合。
在例子1中,根据该SRS resource set的spatial relation信息可知,该SRS resource set承载的SRS与CSI-RS 1具有相同的空间特性参数,因此在该SRS resource set上传输SRS时使用的panel与CSI-RS 1采用的panel相同,为panel-1。由于经过波束训练或直接测量CSI确定CSI-RS 1采用panel-1的传输质量良好,因此在该SRS resource set使用panel-1传输SRS的传输质量也良好。
结合上述表5所示的N套功率控制参数,终端便可以依据panel-1确定在该SRS resource set上传输SRS时采用的功率控制参数为参数1,即第一功率控制参数为参数1。
例子2,假设网络设备为每一个SRS resource set配置的N套功率控制参数如上述表5所示。假设某一个SRS resource set包括SRS resource 0和SRS resource 1,其spatial relation信息指示的参考信号包括:CSI-RS 0和CSI-RS 1,其中,CSI-RS 0对应SRS resource 0,CSI-RS 1对应SRS resource 1。且假设终端接收CSI所采用的panel如上述表9所示。
在例子2中,根据该SRS resource set的spatial relation信息可知,SRS resource 1承载的SRS与CSI-RS 1具有相同的空间特性参数,因此SRS resource 0对应的panel与CSI-RS0采用的panel相同,为panel-0。由于经过波束训练确定CSI-RS 0采用panel-0的传输质量良好,因此在SRS resource 0使用panel-0传输SRS的传输质量也良好。类似可知,SRS resource 1对应的panel与CSI-RS 1采用的panel相同,为panel-1。这里,一个SRS resource对应的panel是指在该SRS resource上传输SRS所采用的panel。
在例子2中,假定第一时间单元为一个slot,该SRS resource set上传输SRS所使用的功率控制参数,具体可包括下面几种情况:
如图7A所示,如果该SRS resource set中包括的SRS resource 0和SRS resource 1在时间上不重叠,则在该SRS resource set中传输SRS属于单panel传输SRS:先仅采用panel-0传输SRS,然后仅采用panel-1传输SRS。此时,终端根据前述表5可以确定在SRS resource0上通过panel-0传输SRS使用的功率控制参数为参数0;终端也可以确定在SRS resource 1上通过panel-1传输SRS使用的功率控制参数为参数1。也即是说,第一功率控制参数包括对应SRS resource 0的参数0和对应SRS resource 1的参数1。
如图7B所示,如果该SRS resource set中包括的SRS resource 0和SRS resource 1在时间上全部重叠,则在该SRS resource set中传输SRS属于panel-0和panel-1传输SRS。此时,终端根据前述表5可以确定在该SRS resource set上传输SRS时使用的功率控制参数为参数2。
如图7C所示,如果该SRS resource set中包括的SRS resource 0和SRS resource 1在时间上部分重叠,则在该SRS resource set中传输SRS属于panel-0和panel-1传输SRS。此时,终端根据前述表5可以确定在该SRS resource set上传输SRS时使用的功率控制参数为参数 2。
(2)第2种实现方式,第一功率控制参数可以根据M个uplink resource/resource set的
spatial relation信息指示的参考信号所属的资源或资源集合或资源分组(resource/resource set/resource group)来确定。
这里,源参考信号所属的资源或资源集合或资源分组是指承载源参考信号的资源或资源集合或资源分组。
可选的,资源集合或资源分组的划分规则可以包括以下方式:
方式1:不同资源集合或资源组中的参考信号可以同时发送。
例如:SRS resource set中有参考信号SRS1,SRS2,SRS3,SRS4;其spatial relation分别对应上行波束管理(UL beam management)中的SRS7,SRS8,SRS9,SRS10。其中,SRS7,SRS8是属于set 1(或group1)的参考信号使用panel 1发送,SRS9,SRS10是属于set 2(或group2)的参考信号使用panel 2发送。其中set 1(或group1),set 2(或group2)的划分规则是set 1(或group1)中的参考信号可以与set 2(或group2)中的参考信号可以同时发送。
方式2:同一个资源集合或资源组内的参考信号可以同时发送。
例如,SRS resource set中有参考信号SRS1,SRS2,SRS3,SRS4;其spatial relation分别对应上行波束管理(UL beam management)中的SRS7,SRS8,SRS9,SRS10。其中,SRS7是属于set 1(或group1)的参考信号使用panel1发送,SRS8是属于set 1(或group1)的参考信号使用panel2发送,SRS8属于set 2(或group2)的参考信号使用panel1发送,SRS9属于set 2(或group2)的参考信号使用panel2发送。其中set 1(或group1),set 2(或group2)的划分规则是set 1(或group1)内的参考信号可以同时发送,set 2(或group2)内的参考信号可以同时发送,set 1(或group1)的参考信号和set 2(或group2)内的参考信号不可以同时发送。
可选的,spatial relation信息指示的参考信号(即源参考信号)可以为CSI-RS。具体实现中,在下行传输CSI-RS时,在接收CSI-RS的resource/resource set/resource group上,终端通过波束训练可以确定接收CSI-RS所采用的一个或多个panel,并记录CSI-RS对应的resource/resource set/resource group与CSI-RS所采用的panel之间的映射。这样,在获知源参考信号CSI-RS所属的resource/resource set/resource group后,终端便可以确定接收CSI-RS的一个或多个panel,然后从N套功率控制参数中确定出该panel对应的功率控制参数,即第一功率控制参数。
例如,网络设备在波束训练前会配置多个参考信号资源集合或参考信号资源组,如resource set 1包括{CSI-RS ID 1,CSI-RS ID 2,CSI-RS ID 3,CSI-RS ID 4},resource set 2包括{CSI-RS ID 5,CSI-RS ID 6,CSI-RS ID 7,CSI-RS ID 8}。resource set 1用于panel 1的接收波束训练,resource set 2用于panel 2的接收波束训练。这样,终端便可以确定接收CSI-RS ID1至CSI-RS ID 8中任意一个或一些CSI-RS的panel,从而确定出第一功率控制参数。
因为源参考信号CSI-RS的空间特性参数和上行信号的空间特性参数相同,传输上行信号采用的panel和接收源参考信号CSI-RS采用的panel相同。
可选的,spatial relation信息指示的参考信号(即源参考信号)可以为SRS。在上行传输SRS时,终端可以记录源参考信号SRS对应的resource/resource set/resource group与SRS所采用的一个或多个panel之间的映射。这样,在获知源参考信号SRS所属的resource/resource set/resource group后,终端便可以确定发射源参考信号SRS的一个或多个panel,然后从N套功率控制参数中确定出该panel对应的功率控制参数,即第一功率控制参数。
例如,网络设备在波束训练前会配置多个参考信号资源集合或参考信号资源组,如resource set 1包括{SRS ID 1,SRS ID 2,SRS ID 3,SRS ID 4},resource set 2包括{SRS ID 5,SRS ID 6,SRS ID 7,SRS ID 8}。resource set 1用于panel 1的发射波束训练,resource set 2用于panel 2的发射波束训练。这样,终端便可以确定发射SRS ID 1至SRS ID 8中任意一个或一些SRS的panel,从而确定出第一功率控制参数。
因为源参考信号SRS的空间特性参数和上行信号的空间特性参数相同,传输上行信号采用的panel和传输源参考信号SRS采用的panel相同。
本申请中,指示panel可等同于指示resource set或resource group。
可选的,上行信号的spatial relation信息的个数可以有一个或多个(多panel传输时)。每个spatial relation信息中可包括一个参考信号索引。可选的,上行信号的spatial relation信息的个数可以只有一个,每个spatial relation信息中可包括一个或多个参考信号(多panel传输时)。
(3)第3种实现方式,第一功率控制参数可以根据M个uplink resource/resource set的spatial relation信息指示的参考信号的个数来确定。
具体的,第3种实现方式适用前述配置N套功率控制参数的方式2。如果一个参考信号对应一个panel,则终端可以根据spatial relation信息指示的参考信号的个数确定出panel的个数,从而确定出传输方式。如果panel的个数等于1,则终端可以确定第一功率控制参数为用于单panel传输SRS的功率控制参数;如果panel的个数≥2,则终端可以确定第一功率控制参数为用于多panel传输SRS的功率控制参数。
例如,在non-codebook传输场景下,1个CSI-RS对应1个panel。假设为M个uplink resource/resource set配置的功率控制参数如前述表6所示。那么,当CSI-RS的个数=1时,则第一功率控制参数为参数0;当CSI-RS的个数等于2时,则第一功率控制参数为参数1。
不限于上述(1)-(3)描述的3种实现方式,终端基于spatial relation信息确定出第一功率控制参数还可以包括其他实现方式。例如,如果一个resource set/resource对应一个panel,一个resource set/resource对应一个spatial relation信息,那么在前述配置N套功率控制参数的方式2下,终端还可以根据spatial relation信息的个数确定第一功率控制参数。可选地,该spatial relation可以是指激活的(active)spatial relation。
本申请中提及的spatial relation信息扩展了现有协议中定义的描述空间相关信息的高层参数(如pucch-SpatialRelationInfo)。不限于该高层参数指示的参考信号(如SRS或CSI-RS),本申请中提及的spatial relation信息指示的参考信号还可以包括:用于非码本non-coodebook传输的uplink resource/resource set(如non-codebook usage的SRS resource set)所关联的参考信号(如CSI-RS)。这里,用于非码本non-coodebook传输的uplink resource/resource set 所关联的参考信号是指与用于非码本non-coodebook传输的uplink resource/resource set承载的上行信号具有QCL关系或者空间相关关系的参考信号。
本申请中,该spatial relation信息可以称为第一指示信息。
2.基于网络设备的显示指示确定第一功率控制参数
具体的,网络设备可以向终端发送以下一项或多项指示信息:天线面板的开关指示信息、天线面板的标识信息(panel ID)或上行信号的传输方式的指示信息。相应的,终端可以接收网络设备发送的指示信息。其中,上行信号的传输方式可包括单panel传输上行信号和多panel传输上行信号。这些信息直接指示出了终端在M个uplink resource/resource set上传输上行信号应该采用的panel或panel个数。终端根据这些信息中的一项或多项便可以确定上行信号传输需要使用的第一功率控制参数。也即是说,终端可以基于网络设备的显式指示确定采用哪一套或哪些套功率控制参数。
天线面板的开关指示信息可指示开启哪些panel,或关闭哪些panel。若该开关指示信息指示关闭哪些panel,则开启的panel即关闭的panel之外的终端panel。第一功率控制参数即N套功率控制参数中开启的panel对应的功率控制参数。具体实现中,天线面板的开关指示信息可以是多个比特,其中一个比特对应一个panel,指示这个panel的开启或关闭。实际应用中,该开关指示信息的实现还可以有其他方式,本申请对此不作限制。
天线面板的标识信息(panel ID)表示的panel即终端在M个uplink resource/resource set上传输上行信号应该采用的panel。第一功率控制参数即N套功率控制参数中该标识信息表示的panel对应的功率控制参数。
通过上行信号的传输方式的指示信息确定第一功率控制参数的实现方式适用前述配置N套功率控制参数的方式2。第一功率控制参数为上行信号的传输方式对应的那一套功率控制参数。
本申请中,天线面板的开关指示信息、天线面板的标识信息(panel ID)或上行信号的传输方式的指示信息中的一项或多项指示信息可称为第二指示信息。
上面内容描述了终端基于网络设备的隐式指示或显示指示确定第一功率控制参数的方式,不限于此,第一功率控制参数可以通过协议预定义,或者根据终端先前上报的信息(如信道质量测量报告、信道质量优良的panel的信息等)确定,或者根据终端侧的测量结果确定。
下面详细介绍方案2,方案2主要讨论在多panel传输上行信号的场景下,如何为多个panel对应的上行信号分配发射功率。图8示出了方案2描述的信号传输方法的总体流程图,该方法可包括:
S201,网络设备可以向终端发送配置信息,该配置信息指示为H个上行信号配置的功率控制参数。H≥2,H是正整数。这H个上行信号分别通过终端的H个panel传输。这H个上行信号承载于第一时间单元内。关于第一时间单元的说明,请参考前述内容,这里不再赘述。
S202,终端可以基于H个上行信号各自对应的功率控制参数确定H个上行信号各自对 应的第一发射功率。
关于各个上行信号各自对应的第一发射功率的确定方式,后续内容中将详细说明,这里先不赘述。
S203,终端判断H个上行信号各自对应的第一发射功率的总和是否大于终端的最大发射功率,如果大于,则执行S204-S205,否则执行S206。
S204,如果H个上行信号各自对应的第一发射功率的总和大于终端的最大发射功率,则终端确定H个上行信号中至少一个上行信号各自对应的第二发射功率。该至少一个上行信号各自对应的第二发射功率的总和小于或等于终端的最大发射功率。
S205,在第一时间单元内,终端可以基于该至少一个上行信号各自对应的第二发射功率传输该至少一个上行信号。
相应的,网络设备在第一时间单元内接收该至少一个上行信号,该至少一个上行信号各自对应的第二发射功率的总和小于或等于所述终端的最大传输功率,该至少一个上行信号各自对应的第二发射功率是根据H个上行信号各自相关的参考信号的信道质量信息确定的。
这里,相关的参考信号可以包括以下一项或多项:H个上行信号的空间相关信息包括的或指示的参考信号、H个上行信号各自对应的功率控制参数中包括的用于估计路径损耗的参考信号。该相关的参考信号的信道质量信息是之前终端上报的。可选的,该相关的参考信号的信道质量信息可以是终端最近一次上报的。其中信道质量信息包括参考信号接收功率RSRP,CQI,RSRQ,SINR,SNR等。
例如,相关的参考信号可以为功控参数中包括的下行参考信号,终端在发送H个信号之前上报过H个上行信号各自相关的该下行参考信号的接收功率。而下行参考信号的发送功率基站是知道的,因此网络设备可以推算其下行路径损耗。相关的参考信号可以该空间相关信息中包括的参考信号。终端可以在之前做过信道测量,并上报给基站。
这样,网络设备能够根据终端先前上报的该相关的参考信号的质量,来判断哪个信号的传输路径更好,进而确定哪个信号是按照网络设备指示的功率发送的,哪个信号是使用剩余功率发送的。
S206,如果H个上行信号l各自对应的第一发射功率的总和小于或等于终端的最大发射功率,则在第一时间单元内,终端可以基于H个上行信号各自对应的第一发射功率传输H个上行信号。
可选的,配置信息可以具体指示为M个uplink resource/resource set配置的功率控制参数。为M个uplink resource/resource set配置的功率控制参数可包括为H个上行信号配置的功率控制参数。M个uplink resource/resource set可以被配置有多套功率控制参数(参考方案1),也可以仅被配置1套功率控制参数。
可以看出,方案2考虑了在多panel传输上行信号的场景下,多个panel各自基于功率控制参数确定的发射功率(即第一发射功率)的总和可能会超过终端的最大传输功率的问题。对此,终端可以根据H个panel各自相关的路径损耗来为H个panel对应的上行信号分配发射功率,具体优先为路径损耗较小的panel对应的上行信号分配发射功率。一种可能的情况是,H个panel中有部分panel不会被分配到发射功率护着该部分panel上不会发射 信号。
下面详细说明方案2涉及的几个方面(一)至(二)。
(一)如何为各个panel对应的上行信号分配发射功率。
1.场景一:M个uplink resource/resource set配置有多套功率控制参数的场景(多套功率控制参数的配置可参考方案1)
(1)首先,说明如何确定H个上行信号各自对应的第一发射功率。
具体的,参考前述方案1可知,终端可以基于网络设备的隐式指示(即spatial relation信息)或显示指示(即panel的开关指示信息、panel ID等)确定终端传输H个上行信号时使用的功率控制参数,即前述方案1中提及的第一功率控制参数。然后,终端可以根据第一功率控制参数确定H个上行信号各自对应的第一发射功率。
例子1,以SRS为例进行说明,假设为每一个SRS resource set配置的多套功率控制参数如表10示例性所示:
天线面板 SRS功率控制参数
panel-0 参数0
panel-1 参数1
panel-2 参数2
panel-3 参数3
panel-0和panel-2 参数4
panel-1和panel-3 参数5
panel-0,panel-1,panel-2和panel-3 参数6
表10
又假设,某一个SRS resource set的spatial relation信息指示的参考信号包括:CSI-RS 0和CSI-RS 2。且假设终端采用panel-0接收CSI-RS 0,采用panel-2接收CSI-RS 2。那么,H个上行信号是panel-0传输的SRS和panel-2传输的SRS。根据表10可确定H个SRS对应的功率控制参数是参数5。
在一种可能的实现方式中,参数5可以是两套功率控制参数,配置给panel-0和panel-2传输SRS时使用,此时panel-0传输的SRS对应的第一发射功率P′ panel-0根据其中一套功率控制参数(p0 1,alpha 1,RS 1)确定,panel-2传输的SRS对应的第一发射功率P′ panel-2根据其中另一套功率控制参数(p0 2,alpha 2,RS 2)确定。RS 1、RS 2为路径损耗参考信号。此时,P′ panel-0=p0 1+alpha 1*PL(RS 1);P′ panel-2=p0 2+alpha 2*PL(RS 2)。PL(RS 1)为根据RS 1计算的路径损耗,PL(RS 2)为根据RS 2计算的路径损耗。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,参数5也可以是一套功率控制参数,配置给panel-0和panel-2传输SRS时使用。此时panel-0传输的SRS对应的第一发射功率P′ panel-0和panel-2传输的SRS对应的第一发射功率P′ panel-2都根据这一套功率控制参数(p0,alpha,RS PL)确定。此时,P′ panel-0=p0+alpha*PL(CSI-RS 0);P′ panel-2=p0+alpha*PL(CSI-RS 2)。PL(CSI-RS0)为根据CSI-RS 0计算的路径损耗,PL(CSI-RS 2)为根据CSI-RS 2计算的路径损耗。这一 套功率控制参数(p0,alpha,RS PL)中的路径损耗参考信号RS PL没有考虑多panel对应的多传输路径的信道状况,不适用计算panel-0传输的SRS和panel-2传输的SRS各自相关的路径损耗。因此终端可以基于panel-0传输的SRS和panel-2传输的SRS各自对应的源参考信号CSI-RS 0、CSI-RS 2重新测量得到panel-0传输的SRS和panel-2传输的SRS各自相关的路径损耗。
例子2,以SRS为例进行说明,假设为每一个SRS resource set配置的多套功率控制参数如表11示例性所示:
Figure PCTCN2019108759-appb-000010
表11
其中:
参数0是一套功率控制参数,配置给单panel传输SRS时使用;
参数1是一套功率控制参数,配置给多panel传输SRS时使用,此时各个panel的发射功率控制都遵循这一套功率控制参数。
又假设,某一个SRS resource set的spatial relation信息指示的参考信号包括:CSI-RS 1和CSI-RS 3。且假设终端采用panel-1接收CSI-RS 1,采用panel-3接收CSI-RS 3。那么,H个上行信号是panel-1传输的SRS和panel-3传输的SRS。根据表7可确定H个panel对应的功率控制参数是参数1。
此时,panel-1传输的SRS对应的第一发射功率P′ panel-1和panel-3传输的SRS对应的第一发射功率P′ panel-3都根据参数1(p0,alpha,RS PL)确定。此时,P′ panel-1=p0+alpha*PL(CSI-RS 1);P′ panel-3=p0+alpha*PL(CSI-RS 3)。PL(CSI-RS 1)为根据CSI-RS 1计算的路径损耗,PL(CSI-RS 3)为根据CSI-RS 3计算的路径损耗。这一套功率控制参数(p0,alpha,RS PL)中的路径损耗参考信号RS PL没有考虑多panel对应的多传输路径的信道状况,不适用计算panel-1传输的SRS和panel-3传输的SRS各自相关的路径损耗。因此终端可以基于panel-1传输的SRS和panel-3传输的SRS各自对应的源参考信号CSI-RS 1、CSI-RS 3重新测量得到panel-1传输的SRS和panel-3传输的SRS各自相关的路径损耗。
(2)其次,说明如何为H个上行信号确定第二发射功率。
在H个上行信号各自基于功率控制参数确定的第一发射功率的总和超过终端的最大传输功率的情况下,终端可以根据各上行信号相关的路径损耗,优先为路径损耗较小的上行信号对应的上行信号分配发射功率。也即是说,路径损耗较小的上行信号优先于路径损耗 较大的上行信号被分配功率。
以2个上行信号(panel-1传输的上行信号和panel-2传输的上行信号)为例,假设P′ panel-1+P′ panel-2>Pmax,且PL(panel-1)<PL(panel-3)。其中,P′ panel-1表示panel-1传输的上行信号对应的第一发射功率,P′ panel-3表示panel-2传输的上行信号对应的第一发射功率,Pmax表示终端的最大传输功率,PL(panel-1)表示panel-1传输的上行信号相关的路径损耗,PL(panel-3)表示panel-3传输的上行信号的路径损耗。那么:
如果P′ panel-1<Pmax,则P panel-1=P′ panel-1,P panel-2=Pmax-P panel-1
如果P′ panel-1>Pmax,则P panel-1=Pmax,P panel-2=0。
其中,P panel-1表示panel-1传输的上行信号对应的第二发射功率,P panel-2表示panel-2传输的上行信号对应的第二发射功率。
从该示例可以看出,优先为路径损耗较小的上行信号分配发射功率。一种可能的情况是,H个panel中有部分panel传输的上行信号不会被分配到发射功率,例如panel-2传输的上行信号对应第二发射功率可能为0。
上述示例仅仅用于解释本申请,实际可以为更多panel(H>2)传输的上行信号分配发射功率。
概括地说,根据上行信号相关的路径损耗从小到大的顺序,终端可以执行至少一轮功率分配。其中:
在第i(i是正整数,i小于等于H)轮功率分配中,从未被确定第二发射功率的上行信号中确定当前路径损耗最小的上行信号,可表示为S i-minPL。分配给S i-minPL的实际发射功率可以为min{P′ i,Pmax}。这里,S i-minPL的实际发射功率即S i-minPL对应的第二发射功率,Pmax表示终端的最大传输功率,min表示取最小值。P i-r表示终端的最大发射功率中除去前面i-1轮中已分配的发射功率后剩余的发射功率。P′ i表示S i-minPL对应的第一发射功率。
具体的,在第i轮功率分配可以通过下述算法表示:
P i=min{P r,P′ i},
其中,当i=1时,Pr=Pmax,当i>1时,Pr=Pmax-P i-1-…-P 1
其中,P i表示S i-minPL对应的第二发射功率,P′ i表示S i-minPL对应的第一发射功率;Pmax表示终端的最大传输功率,Pr是所述终端的最大发射功率中除去前面i-1轮功率分配中已分配的发射功率后剩余的发射功率,0≤Pr≤Pmax;S i-minPL表示第i轮功率分配中路径损耗最小的未被确定第二发射功率的天线面板。
在方案2中,各个panel传输的上行信号各自相关的路径损耗可以根据各个panel传输的上行信号对应的用于估计路径损耗的参考信号计算得到。
在一种实现方式中,一个panel传输的上行信号对应的用于估计路径损耗的参考信号可以是该上行信号的spatial relation信息指示的参考信号。
例如,某一个SRS resource set的spatial relation信息指示的参考信号包括:CSI-RS 0和CSI-RS 2。且假设终端采用panel-0接收CSI-RS 0,采用panel-2接收CSI-RS 2。那么,CSI-RS 0为panel-0传输的SRS相关的路径损耗参考信号,CSI-RS 2为panel-2传输的SRS 相关的路径损耗参考信号。示例仅仅用于解释本申请,不应构成限定。
在另一种实现方式中,一个panel对应的用于估计路径损耗的参考信号可以是该panel传输的上行信号对应的功率控制参数中包括的路径损耗参考信号。
例如,假设panel-2传输的上行信号对应的第一发射功率P′ panel-2根据功率控制参数(p0 2,alpha 2,RS 2)确定。那么,panel-2传输的上行信号相关的路径损耗参考信号可以为RS 2。示例仅仅用于解释本申请,不应构成限定。
2.场景二:M个uplink resource/resource set仅配置有1套功率控制参数的场景
在为M个uplink resource/resource set仅配置一套功率控制参数的场景下,终端可以根据这一套功率控制参数确定H个panel各自传输的上行信号对应的第一发射功率,但需要考虑到各个panel各自对应路径损耗不同。
(1)首先,说明如何确定H个上行信号各自对应的第一发射功率。
具体的,H个天线面板各自传输的上行信号对应的第一发射功率可以基于以下参数确定:这一套功率控制参数中包括上行信号的目标接收功率p0、路径损耗补偿因子alpha,以及基于H个panel各自传输的上行信号的spatial relation信息指示的参考信号测量得到的路径损耗。
举例说明,假设为M个uplink resource/resource set仅配置一套功率控制参数为(p0,alpha,RS PL)。且假设某一个SRS resource set的spatial relation信息指示的参考信号包括:CSI-RS 0和CSI-RS 2,且终端采用panel-0接收CSI-RS 0,采用panel-2接收CSI-RS 2。那么:
panel-0传输的上行信号对应的第一发射功率可以根据以下参数确定:p0,alpha,以及基于CSI-RS 0测量得到的路径损耗。即=p0+alpha*PL(CSI-RS 0)。
panel-2传输的上行信号对应的第一发射功率可以根据以下参数确定:p0,alpha,以及基于CSI-RS 2测量得到的路径损耗。即=p0+alpha*PL(CSI-RS 2)。
由于仅配置的一套功率控制参数(p0,alpha,RS PL)中的路径损耗参考信号RS PL没有考虑多panel各自相关的路径损耗不同,不适用计算panel-0传输的上行信号和panel-2传输的上行信号相关的路径损耗。因此终端可以基于panel-0传输的上行信号和panel-2传输的上行信号各自对应的源参考信号CSI-RS 0、CSI-RS 2重新测量得到panel-0传输的上行信号和panel-2传输的上行信号各自相关的路径损耗,并基于重新计算的路径损耗确定各个panel各自传输的上行信号对应的第一发射功率。
(2)其次,说明如何为H个上行信号确定第二发射功率。
具体的,与场景一中确定H个上行信号中至少一个上行信号对应的第二发射功率的方式相同,具体可参考前述场景一中的相关内容,这里不再赘述。
(二)如何确定在M个uplink resource/resource set上传输上行信号的panel个数
可选的,终端可以根据spatial relation信息确定在M个uplink resource/resource set上传输上行信号时采用的panel的个数,如果panel个数≥2,则确定上行信号的传输方式属于多panel传输上行信号。panel个数等于上行信号的个数。可以理解的,前述H个上行信号为 H个panel采用多panel传输模式传输的。
可选的,panel的个数可以由以下一项或多项确定:M个uplink resource/resource set的spatial relation信息的个数、spatial relation信息指示的参考信号的个数、spatial relation信息指示的参考信号(如用于波束训练的SRS)所属的资源或资源集合或资源分组。下面分别进行说明。
1.根据spatial relation信息的个数确定panel个数。
可选的,如果一个resource set/resource对应一个panel,一个resource set/resource对应一个spatial relation信息,则终端可以根据spatial relation信息的个数确定出panel个数。
2.根据spatial relation信息指示的参考信号的个数确定panel个数。
可选的,如果一个参考信号对应一个panel,则终端可以根据spatial relation信息指示的参考信号的个数确定出panel的个数。例如,在non-codebook传输场景下,1个CSI-RS对应1个panel,因此终端根据spatial relation信息指示的参考信号CSI-RS的个数能够确定出panel个数。
3.根据spatial relation信息指示的参考信号(即源参考信号)所属的资源或资源集合或资源分组的数量确定panel个数。
这里,源参考信号所属的资源或资源集合或资源分组是指承载源参考信号的资源或资源集合或资源分组。
可选的,spatial relation信息指示的参考信号(即源参考信号)可以为CSI-RS。在下行传输CSI-RS时,在接收CSI-RS的resource/resource set/resource group上,终端通过波束训练可以确定接收CSI-RS所采用的panel,并记录CSI-RS对应的resource/resource set/resource group与CSI-RS所采用的panel之间的映射。这样,在获知源参考信号CSI-RS所属的resource/resource set/resource group有哪些之后,终端便可以确定接收CSI-RS的一个或多个panel。因为源参考信号CSI-RS的空间特性参数和上行信号空间特性参数相同,传输上行信号采用的panel和接收源参考信号CSI-RS采用的panel相同。这样便可以确定传输上行信号时采用的panel的个数。
可选的,spatial relation信息指示的参考信号(即源参考信号)可以为SRS。在上行传输SRS时,在发射SRS的resource/resource set/resource group上,终端通过波束训练可以确定发射源参考信号SRS采用的panel,并记录源参考信号SRS对应的resource/resource set/resource group与源参考信号SRS所采用的panel之间的映射。这样,在获知源参考信号SRS所属的resource/resource set/resource group有哪些之后,终端便可以确定发射源参考信号SRS的一个或多个panel。因为源参考信号SRS的空间特性参数和上行信号的空间特性参数相同,传输上行信号采用的panel和传输源参考信号SRS采用的panel相同。这样便可以确定传输上行信号时采用的panel的个数。
不限于基于spatial relation信息确定panel个数。可选的,终端也可以基于网络设备发送的其他指示信息,如panel的开关指示信息,panel ID,上行信号的传输方式的指示信息等,确定panel个数。
例如,panel的开关指示信息指示开启panel-0和panel-2,则终端便可以确定panel个数为2。又例如,panel ID指示panel-0至panel-2,则终端便可以确定panel个数为4。再例 如,上行信号的传输方式的指示信息指示4panel传输上行信号,则终端可以确定panel个数为4。示例仅仅用于解释本申请,不应构成限定。

可以理解的,终端500和网络设备600各自包括的各个功能单元的具体实现可参考前述上述方案1,这里不再赘述。
下面说明上述方案2中终端500和网络设备600的具体实现。
在前述方案2中,终端500包括的各个功能可具体实现如下:
处理单元501可用于如果在M个上行信号资源或上行信号资源集合上采用终端的H个天线面板传输上行信号,且基于这H个天线面板各自对应的功率控制参数确定出的这H个天线面板各自对应的第一发射功率的总和大于终端的最大发射功率,则确定这H个天线面板中至少一个天线面板各自对应的第二发射功率。
通信单元503可用于在M个上行信号资源或上行信号资源集合上,基于至少一个天线面板各自对应的第二发射功率采用所述至少一个天线面板传输上行信号。这至少一个天线面板各自对应的第二发射功率的总和小于或等于终端的最大传输功率。H≥2,H是正整数。
在前述方案2中,网络设备600包括的各个功能可具体实现如下:
通信单元601可用于向终端500发送配置信息,该配置信息可指示终端500的H个天线面板各自对应的功率控制参数。
通信单元601还可用于在这M个上行信号资源或上行信号资源集合上接收终端500发送的上行信号。
在前述方案2中,H个panel中有部分panel不会被分配到发射功率或者该部分panel上不会发射信号。即该至少一个天线面板的数量小于H。
在一些可选实施例中,M个uplink resource/resource set可配置有多套功率控制参数,即前述方案1中配置的N套功率控制参数。此时,H个天线面板各自对应的功率控制参数为N套功率控制参数。
在M个uplink resource/resource set配置有多套功率控制参数的场景下,处理单元501可以通过下述方法为各个panel对应的上行信号分配发射功率:
(1)首先,确定H个panel各自对应的第一发射功率。
具体的,参考前述方案1可知,处理单元501可用于基于网络设备600的隐式指示(即spatial relation信息)或显示指示(即panel的开关指示信息、panel ID等)确定终端500采用H个panel传输上行信号时使用的功率控制参数,即前述方案1中提及的第一功率控制参数。处理单元501可用于根据第一功率控制参数确定H个panel各自对应的第一发射功率。
(2)其次,确定H个panel中的至少一个panel对应的第二发射功率。
处理单元501可用于根据各panel相关的路径损耗,优先为路径损耗较小的panel对应的上行信号分配发射功率。也即是说,路径损耗较小的panel优先于路径损耗较大的panel被分配功率。
具体的,处理单元501可用于根据panel相关的路径损耗从小到大的顺序,执行至少一轮功率分配。其中:
在第i(i是正整数,i小于等于H)轮功率分配中,从未被确定第二发射功率的panel中确定当前路径损耗最小的panel,可表示为panel i-minPL。如果当前剩余的待分配功率P i-r大于或等于panel i-minPL对应的第一发射功率P′ i,则分配给panel i-minPL的实际发射功率可以为min{P′ i,Pmax};否则分配给panel i-minPL的实际发射功率可以为min{P′ i,P i-r}。这里,panel i-minPL的实际发射功率即panel i-minPL对应的第二发射功率,Pmax表示终端的最大传输功率,min表示取最小值。P i-r表示终端的最大发射功率中除去前面i-1轮中已分配的发射功率后剩余的发射功率。
具体的,在第i轮功率分配可以通过下述算法表示:
P i=min{P r,P′ i},
其中,当i=1时,Pr=Pmax,当i>1时,Pr=Pmax-P i-1-…-P 1
其中,P i表示panel i-minPL对应的第二发射功率,P′ i表示panel i-minPL对应的第一发射功率;Pmax表示终端的最大传输功率,Pr是所述终端的最大发射功率中除去前面i-1轮功率分配中已分配的发射功率后剩余的发射功率,0≤Pr≤Pmax;panel i-minPL表示第i轮功率分配中路径损耗最小的未被确定第二发射功率的天线面板。
在一些可选实施例中,M个uplink resource/resource set可仅配置1套功率控制参数。此时,H个天线面板各自对应的功率控制参数均为同一套功率控制参数。
在M个uplink resource/resource set仅配置1套功率控制参数的场景下,处理单元501可用于根据这仅一套功率控制参数确定H个panel各自对应的第一发射功率,但需要考虑到各个panel各自对应路径损耗不同。具体的,H个天线面板各自对应的第一发射功率可以基于以下参数确定:这一套功率控制参数中包括上行信号的目标接收功率p0、路径损耗补偿因子alpha,以及基于H个panel在spatial relation信息指示的参考信号中各自对应的参考信号测量得到的路径损耗。
在M个uplink resource/resource set仅配置1套功率控制参数的场景下,处理单元501可用于根据各panel相关的路径损耗,优先为路径损耗较小的panel对应的上行信号分配发射功率。具体实现可参考前述M个uplink resource/resource set配置有N套功率控制参数的场景下的功率分配方式,这里不再赘述。
