Abstract
Description
NRにおいては、物理レイヤ制御信号(例えば、下り制御情報(DCI:Downlink Control Information))を、基地局からユーザ端末(UE:User Equipment)に対して送信するために、制御リソースセット(CORESET:COntrol REsource SET)が利用される。
NRでは、送信設定指示状態(TCI状態(Transmission Configuration Indication state))に基づいて、信号及びチャネルの少なくとも一方(信号/チャネルと表現する)の受信処理(例えば、受信、デマッピング、復調、復号の少なくとも1つ)を制御することが検討されている。
・QCLタイプA:ドップラーシフト、ドップラースプレッド、平均遅延及び遅延スプレッド、
・QCLタイプB:ドップラーシフト及びドップラースプレッド、
・QCLタイプC:ドップラーシフト及び平均遅延、
・QCLタイプD:空間受信パラメータ。
ところで、これまでRel-15 NRにおいては、ビーム管理(BM:Beam Management)の方法が検討されてきた。当該ビーム管理においては、UEが報告したL1-RSRPをベースに、ビーム選択を行うことが検討されている。ある信号/チャネルのビームを変更する(切り替える)ことは、当該信号/チャネルのTCL状態(QCL)を変更することに相当する。
<低遅延ビーム選択の設定>
一実施形態において、UEは、低遅延ビーム選択を上位レイヤシグナリングによって設定される場合には、PDCCH用のTCI状態を設定されないと想定してもよい。
図2のようにTCI状態を設定されない場合であっても、UEは、例えば想定されるTCI状態についてPDCCHのブラインド復号を試行することによって、PDCCHの復号を行ってもよい。UEは、特定の信号/チャネル(例えば、設定されるSS/PBCHブロック及びCSI-RSの少なくとも1つ)とPDCCHのDMRSとがQCLであると想定してPDCCHの受信処理(復調、復号など)を行ってもよい。
ステップS302の測定報告の一例について説明する。UEは、CSI測定用のリソース及び干渉測定用のリソースの少なくとも1つに基づいて、チャネル品質測定及び干渉測定の少なくとも一方を行って、測定結果(例えば、CSI)をPUCCH又はPUSCHを用いて報告(送信)してもよい。
本開示の低遅延ビーム選択関連の制御(例えば、TCI状態を設定しない制御)は、PDCCHのみに適用されてもよい。ビーム選択について上述した課題(遅延)は主にPDCCHに関し、他のチャネルについてのRel-15 NRのビーム選択は機能していると想定されるためである。この場合、UEの実装の複雑化を抑制できる。
UEは、低遅延ビーム選択を上位レイヤシグナリングによって設定される場合には、PDCCH及びPDSCHが基地局から同じ送信ビームを用いて送信されると想定してもよい。
UEは、低遅延ビーム選択を上位レイヤシグナリングによって設定される場合には、PDCCH、PDSCH及びPUCCHの送受信のために、基地局が同じビーム(同じ送受信ビーム)を用いると想定してもよい。
[PDCCHの受信処理の変形例]
なお、上記PDCCHの受信処理で説明した想定における「報告した最新のビーム測定結果」は、特定の種類のCSI報告に限定されてもよい。当該特定の種類のCSI報告は、例えば、周期的なCSI(P-CSI:Periodic CSI)報告、非周期的なCSI(A-CSI:Aperiodic CSI)報告、半永続的(半持続的、セミパーシステント(Semi-Persistent))なCSI(SP-CSI:Semi-Persistent CSI)報告のいずれか、又はこれらの組み合わせであってもよい。
UEは、低遅延ビーム選択を上位レイヤシグナリングによって設定される場合には、時刻TにおけるPDSCHの基地局送信ビームが、時刻TよりToffset2以上前の時刻の(最新の)PDCCHの基地局送信ビームと同じであると想定してもよい。
上述の各実施形態では、低遅延ビーム選択を設定されたUEは、PDCCH(又はPDSCH)用のUE受信ビーム又は基地局送信ビーム(又は、PUCCH用のUE送信ビーム又は基地局受信ビーム)が、UEが報告した最新のビーム測定結果に対応するUE受信ビーム又は基地局送信ビームと同じであると無条件に想定する(例えば、L1-RSRP測定結果に基づいてUEが自律的にQCLの想定を更新する)例を示した。
・UE固有サーチスペースセット(UE-specific search space set)において送信されるDCI、
・ノンフォールバックDCI、
・DCIフォーマット0_1又は1_1、
・当該DCIを検出したリソース位置に関連する値(例えば、CCE(Control Channel Element)インデックス)が特定の値(例えば、偶数)、
・当該DCIを検出したPDCCH候補のアグリゲーションレベルが特定の値(例えば、偶数)。
・共通サーチスペースセット(common search space set)において送信されるDCI、
・フォールバックDCI、
・DCIフォーマット0_0又は1_0、
・当該DCIを検出したリソース位置に関連する値(例えば、CCEインデックス)が特定の値(例えば、奇数)、
・当該DCIを検出したPDCCH候補のアグリゲーションレベルが特定の値(例えば、奇数)。
UEは、ビーム測定結果を送信してから所定の時間(例えば、T3と呼ぶ)が経過した場合、当該ビーム測定結果に基づくQCL想定を適用してもよい。つまり、UEは、ビーム測定結果を基地局に報告した時刻からT3が経過した場合には、当該基地局から確認情報を受信していなくても、当該ビーム測定結果に基づくQCL想定を適用してもよい。T3の値は、T1又はT2の値より大きくてもよいし、同じでもよいし、小さくてもよい。
以下、本開示の一実施形態に係る無線通信システムの構成について説明する。この無線通信システムでは、本開示の上記各実施形態に係る無線通信方法のいずれか又はこれらの組み合わせを用いて通信が行われる。
図13は、一実施形態に係る基地局の構成の一例を示す図である。基地局10は、制御部110、送受信部120、送受信アンテナ130及び伝送路インターフェース(transmission line interface)140を備えている。なお、制御部110、送受信部120及び送受信アンテナ130及び伝送路インターフェース140は、それぞれ1つ以上が備えられてもよい。
図14は、一実施形態に係るユーザ端末の構成の一例を示す図である。ユーザ端末20は、制御部210、送受信部220及び送受信アンテナ230を備えている。なお、制御部210、送受信部220及び送受信アンテナ230は、それぞれ1つ以上が備えられてもよい。
なお、上記実施形態の説明に用いたブロック図は、機能単位のブロックを示している。これらの機能ブロック(構成部)は、ハードウェア及びソフトウェアの少なくとも一方の任意の組み合わせによって実現される。また、各機能ブロックの実現方法は特に限定されない。すなわち、各機能ブロックは、物理的又は論理的に結合した1つの装置を用いて実現されてもよいし、物理的又は論理的に分離した2つ以上の装置を直接的又は間接的に(例えば、有線、無線などを用いて)接続し、これら複数の装置を用いて実現されてもよい。機能ブロックは、上記1つの装置又は上記複数の装置にソフトウェアを組み合わせて実現されてもよい。
なお、本開示において説明した用語及び本開示の理解に必要な用語については、同一の又は類似する意味を有する用語と置き換えてもよい。例えば、チャネル、シンボル及び信号(シグナル又はシグナリング)は、互いに読み替えられてもよい。また、信号はメッセージであってもよい。参照信号は、RS(Reference Signal)と略称することもでき、適用される標準によってパイロット(Pilot)、パイロット信号などと呼ばれてもよい。また、コンポーネントキャリア(CC:Component Carrier)は、セル、周波数キャリア、キャリア周波数などと呼ばれてもよい。
