可选的,所述第一参考信号为信道解调第一参考信号DMRS。
可选的,所述第一参考信号承载于物理侧行链路共享信道,或者物理侧行链路控制信道。
可选的,所述方法,还包括:

具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
在本申请实施例的描述中,除非另有说明,“/”表示或的意思,例如,A/B可以表示A或B;本文中的“和/或”仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,在本申请实施例的描述中,“多个”是指两个或多于两个。
以下,术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此,限定有“第一”、“第二”的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征。在本实施例的描述中,除非另有说明,“多个”的含义是两个或两个以上。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:车辆对其他设备(vehicle to everything,V2X)、设备到设备(device to device,D2D)通信系统、长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统、LTE频分双工(Frequency Division Duplex,FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(Time Division Duplex,TDD)、通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System,UMTS)、全球互联微波接入(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,WiMAX)通信系统、第五代(5th Generation,5G)系统或新无线(New Radio,NR)等。
本申请实施例中的终端设备可以指用户设备、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。V2X通信系统中的汽车、车载设备、路边装置(road site unit,RSU)等。终端设备还可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(Session Initiation Protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备。例如,可以是作为一个或多个部件或者单元而内置于车辆的车载模块、车载模组、车载部件、车载芯片或者车载单元,车辆通过内置的该车载模块、车载模组、车载部件、车载芯片、车载单元或者路边站等。或者还可以是未来5G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公用陆地移动通信网络(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)中的终端设备等,本申请实施例对此并不限定。
本申请实施例中的网络设备(或者可以称为无线接入网设备)可以具有能够为终端设备提供随机接入功能的设备或可设置于该设备的芯片,该设备包括但不限于: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),无线保真(wireless fidelity,WIFI)系统中的接入点(access point,AP)、无线中继节点、无线回传节点、传输点(transmission and reception point, TRP或者transmission point,TP)等,还可以为5G,如,NR,系统中的gNB,或,传输点(TRP或TP),5G系统中的基站的一个或一组(包括多个天线面板)天线面板,或者,还可以为构成gNB或传输点的网络节点,如基带单元(BBU),或,分布式单元(DU,distributed unit)、未来5G网络中的网络设备或者未来演进的PLMN网络中的网络设备等,本申请实施例并不限定。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备或网络设备包括硬件层、运行在硬件层之上的操作系统层,以及运行在操作系统层上的应用层。该硬件层包括中央处理器(central processing unit,CPU)、内存管理单元(memory management unit,MMU)和内存(也称为主存)等硬件。该操作系统可以是任意一种或多种通过进程(process)实现业务处理的计算机操作系统,例如,Linux操作系统、Unix操作系统、Android操作系统、iOS操作系统或windows操作系统等。该应用层包含浏览器、通讯录、文字处理软件、即时通信软件等应用。并且,本申请实施例并未对本申请实施例提供的方法的执行主体的具体结构特别限定,只要能够通过运行记录有本申请实施例的提供的方法的代码的程序,以根据本申请实施例提供的方法进行通信即可,例如,本申请实施例提供的方法的执行主体可以是终端设备或网络设备,或者,是终端设备或网络设备中能够调用程序并执行程序的功能模块。
另外,本申请的各个方面或特征可以实现成方法、装置或使用标准编程和/或工程技术的制品。本申请中使用的术语“制品”涵盖可从任何计算机可读器件、载体或介质访问的计算机程序。例如,计算机可读介质可以包括,但不限于:磁存储器件(例如,硬盘、软盘或磁带等),光盘(例如,压缩盘(compact disc,CD)、数字通用盘(digital versatile disc,DVD)等),智能卡和闪存器件(例如,可擦写可编程只读存储器(erasable programmable read-only memory,EPROM)、卡、棒或钥匙驱动器等)。另外,本文描述的各种存储介质可代表用于存储信息的一个或多个设备和/或其它机器可读介质。术语“机器可读介质”可包括但不限于,无线信道和能够存储、包含和/或承载指令和/或数据的各种其它介质。
V2X通信是车联网中实现环境感知、信息交互的重要关键技术,这里的其他设备可以是其他车辆、其他基础设施、行人、终端设备等。V2X通信可以看成是设备到设备(device to device,D2D)通信的一种特殊情形。不同终端设备之间的通信链路可以称之为侧行链路(Sidelink,SL)。
在V2X通信中,相互通信的两个终端设备利用PC5接口进行控制信息和数据的传输。PC5接口也可以称为PC5参考点,是两个终端设备之间通信的接口。PC5接口信令(PC5 signalling,PC5-S)可以包括:直接通信请求/接受(Direct Communication Request/Accept)、链路标识符(Link Identifier)、更新请求/响应/确认(Update Request/Response/Ack)、断开连接请求/响应(Disconnect Request/Response),链路修改请求/接受(Link Modification Request/Accept)等。
V2X是基于侧行链路(sidelink)的架构进行的场景的扩展和技术演进。由于sidelink占用的授权(License)频谱,需要与LTE/NR网络的频谱资源进行协调,导致使用的场景可能受限,速率也无法进一步提高。而非授权(Unlicense)频谱是开放的,可以通过有效的利用来提升性能和速率。Unlicense频谱的非授权性,使得所有系统都可以在上面进行 传输、竞争资源,这种称之为非授权侧行链路(sidelink-unlicense,SL-U)技术。
在SL-U的场景中,以组(group)为单位运行,可以支持局部组队场景。例如SL-U的场景中可以包括:组头(group header,GH)和组成员(group member,GM)。SL-U具有多种应用场景,例如,在家庭场景下,手机、电视、个人电脑、平板、音响、手环、耳机等终端设备都加入到一个组中,以通过SL-U进行家庭场景下的通信。在会议室场景下,大屏设备、个人电脑、手机、平板等终端设备可以加入到一个组中,以通过SL-U进行会议场景下的通信。在组队游戏场景下,个人电脑、平板、手机等终端设备可以加入到一个组中,以通过SL-U进行组队游戏场景下的通信。
如图1所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种SL-U的场景的示意图。可以包括:GH1、GM1、GM2、GM3。其中,GH1可以是手机,GM1可以是手表,GM2可以是眼镜,GM3可以是耳机,例如图1可以应用于前述的家庭场景下。如图2所示,为本申请实施例提供的另一种SL-U的场景的示意图。可以包括:GH2、GM4、GM5、GM6。其中,GH2可以是大屏设备,GM4可以是手机,GM5可以是平板,GM6可以是音响,例如图2可以应用于前述的会议场景下。
在上述的SL-U场景中以组为单位运行,不仅可以很好的支持局部组队场景,还能够减少资源碰撞概率,例如在重负载(heavy traffic load)场景、用户数较多场景,如果用户设备(user equipment,UE)全部自主竞争资源,则产生资源冲突碰撞的概率很高。如果存在一个组头来统筹资源分配,则可以极大的降低资源碰撞事件。另外,还可以提高资源分配效率,在组间大颗粒度地协商好资源,群组内的组头可以进行统一分配。另外,还可以提升侧链路的通信性能,组头可以测量组内每个成员的信道信息、业务负载(load)、成员间相互信息,可以做到更好的链路控制。另外,还可以降低时延,减少组头或组员,与基站的信息交互,降低空口时延。
在上述的SL-U场景中组机制的运转,需要有一套完整的流程机制,其中关键流程和技术有:组流程的建立、组头的选择、群组维护(group maintain)的机制、组间和组内的资源分配等。
然而,目前的SL-U机制未考虑到组头的能力增强、以及两个组成员距离较远的情况,未能重复利用组内空间重用。
同时,目前SL-U传输的CS测量到的能量包括了当前时刻能够测量的所有接收信号能量,无法区分组内干扰和组外干扰,当Group内造成的接收信号能量较强时,会导致UE进行CS失败,此时UE会进行退避,从而使得组内空间重用(intra-group spatial reuse)失败。
有鉴于此,本申请提供了一种信息传输方法,当组头具有多天线能力,或组头具有较强的侧行链路控制信息(sidelink control information,SCI)接收能力,或者两个组成员距离较远时,可以使能组内空间重用(intra-group spatial reuse),以提升网络容量和资源效率。
本申请实施例提供的方法可以由第一设备来执行,例如该第一设备可以是组成员,组成员可以是前述的各种终端设备。组成员可以确定该组成员发送消息所用的信道的第一干扰信号强度,其中,该组成员发送的消息可以是数据消息和/或控制消息,参考信号为组成员所在组内的除组成员以外的设备发送,组成员确定的第一干扰信号强度不包含第二干扰 信号强度,第二干扰信号强度为第二设备对组成员造成的干扰信号强度,第二设备是与组成员具有相同组标识的设备,因此组成员确定的第一干扰信号强度可以表示组间的干扰信号强度,而排除了组内传输造成的接收能量,组成员根据第一干扰信号强度判断信道是否处于空闲状态,使用该第一干扰信号强度判断出的信道是否空闲可以表示真实的信道闲忙状态,组成员可以在信道空闲时进行组内空间重用(intra-group spatial reuse),以提升网络容量和资源效率。
不限定的是,本申请实施例提供的信息传输方法也可以由组头来执行,具体方式与上述类似,这里不做赘述。接下来仍以组成员执行上述信息传输方法进行示例说明。
本申请提供的方法可以应用在图1或图2所示的场景中,当然,也可以应用在其他具有组成员和组头的场景中。如图3所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种移动通信系统的示意图。该移动通信系统100可以包括至少一个组头110和至少一个组成员(如图3中所示的组成员120、130、140、150,160)。其中,组成员130、150、以及160可以为远端组成员,组成员130通过组成员120与组头110之间进行通信。组成员140或者组成员160通过组成员140与组头110之间进行通信。至少一个组成员可以发送上行数据或者信息给组头110,组头110也可以将下行数据或者信息发送给至少一个组成员。并且,多个组成员也可以组成一个通信系统,例如,组成员140、150,160可以组成一个通信系统,组成员140也可以将下行数据或者信息发送给组成员150和160,组成员150和160也可以将上行数据或者信息发送给组成员140。
其中,图3所示的至少一个组头110和图3所示的至少一个组成员(如图3中所示的组成员120、130、140、150,160),具体可以是本申请实施例中后续说明的第一设备和第二设备,例如组头110可以是第一设备,组成员120可以是第二设备。或者,组成员130可以是第一设备,组成员150可以是第二设备。或者,组成员160可以是第二设备,组头110可以是第一设备。此处不做限定。
下面简单介绍第一设备和第二设备建立通信连接过程,在第一设备和第二设备建立通信连接后,第一设备便可以通过第二设备与网络设备之间传输数据或者控制信令。
当第一设备需要组建群组时,例如,用户使用第一设备时,用户需要使用第一设备和其它设备组建群组,如图4中的a图所示的,用户可以点击第一设备上界面上的“设置”菜单,显示的界面如图4中的b图所示的,显示“搜索组设备”菜单。“搜索组设备”表示希望通过其他的设备与网络设备之间进行通信。用户打开“搜索组设备”菜单后,如图4中的c图所示,在第一设备的界面上可以向用户显示可以作为组设备的其他设备的信息。例如,第一设备可以通过现有的无线网络通信协议等通信技术进行其他设备的搜索,将可以作为第一设备的组设备的其他设备的信息显示给用户,其他设备可以是第二设备、手机2、平板电脑等。用户可以点击可连接的其他设备中的一个,在用户点击该设备(例如为第二设备)后,表示第一设备确定通过第二设备与网络设备之间进行数据和/或控制信令的传输。即第二设备将作为第一设备的组设备。
可选的,将可以作为第一设备的组设备的其他设备的信息显示给用户时,可以显示其他设备的标识、序列号或者型号等。例如,该序列号可以为进网许可编号等。本申请实施例在此不作限制。
可选的,在本申请实施例中,另一种第一设备搜索组设备并与组设备建立连接的过程为:在第一设备的系统设置里面有个菜单,例如该菜单的名称为“连接组设备”或者其他名称等,如图5中的a图所示的为第一设备显示的主界面示意图,用户点击“设置”,出现如图5中的b图所示,用户打开“连接组设备”,意味着用户需要连接组设备,并通过组设备与网络设备之间进行数据和/或控制信令的传输。用户点击“连接组设备”后,第一设备可以自动搜索或者连接附近可用的其他设备,在连接成功后,如图5中的图c所示,第一设备可以向用户显示“组设备已经连接”的提示,用于向用户通知已经连接上了组设备。这样,可以实现用户的无感知连接组设备,提高用户体验。
可选的,在用户操作第一设备,希望第二设备作为第一设备的组成员时,进一步的,在第二设备的显示界面上,还可以向第二设备的用户显示“是否作为第一设备的组成员”的提示。如图6中所示的,第二设备的用户点击“确定”,则表示允许作为第一设备的组成员。如果不同意,则用户可以点击“取消”,则第一设备不能将该第二设备作为组成员。例如图6所示的应用场景可以是车辆编队场景,第一设备和第二设备可以是车辆编队场景中的车辆终端。
可选的,在本申请实施例中的,第一设备可以是用户使用的智能可穿戴设备,例如为:智能手表、智能手环等,第二设备可以为:用户使用的手机、便携电脑、上网本、PDA等设备。在这种情况下,在第二设备的显示界面上,可以向用户显示“是否作为第一设备的组设备”的提示信息。
可选的,在本申请实施例中,第一设备可以通过:无线局域网(wireless local area networks,WLAN)(如无线保真(wireless fidelity,Wi-Fi)网络),蓝牙(bluetooth,BT),调频(frequency modulation,FM),近距离无线通信技术(near field communication,NFC),红外技术(infrared,IR)等无线通信技术搜索可与作为组设备的其他设备。本申请实施例在此不作限制。
可选的,在第一设备自动搜索并连接其他设备作为组设备的过程中,第一设备还可根据之前与其他设备的连接情况,自动向用户推荐可作为组设备的其他设备。例如,假设第一设备经过搜索后发现:与第一设备可连接的、并且可作为组设备的其他设备与用户上次使用组设备相同,则自动连接与上次相同的组设备,即实现自动连接。
接下来对本申请实施例的应用场景进行举例说明,如图7a和图7b所示,由于在Sidelink中UE之间对等的关系,因此在Sidelink中不区分下行(uplink,简称U)和上行(downlink,简称D),都叫做Sidelink。基于已经设置了GH-GM的关系,为了区分GH->GM还是GM->GH的链路,这里将GH->GM链路记为S-DL,将GM->GH链路记为S-UL。
如图7a所示,为场景1,D-U结构为包括下行(uplink,简称U)时间单元和上行(downlink,简称D)时间单元,其中,在D时间单元和U时间单元之间设置有间隔(Gap)。通信系统中包括:GH、GM1和GM2。其中,GM1的上行(UL)业务已经存在,GM2半途加入。GM1正与GH进行上行侧行链路(sidelink-uplink,S-UL)传输,例如GM1可以基于调度或无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)配置进行S-UL传输,该传输跨越多个时间单元(slot)。
根据GH的SCI调度或RRC配置,在第二个S-UL时间单元上,GM2需要进行S-UL传输。 例如在GM2之前存在一个U slot,该U slot左侧的中间方块表示为SCI,该U slot的右边表示最后一个slot,U slot的右侧中间方块表示信道状态信息干扰测量(channel state information-interference measurement,CSI-IM)导频。
在GM2发送前,需要进行载波侦听(carrier sensing,CS)。现有技术中CS如LBT会把组内GM1的信号当成干扰,会导致GM2的CS失败,进行退避,导致可能无法使能Intra-group Spatial Reuse。而本申请实施例中GM2不会把组内GM1的信号当成干扰,即不将GM1的信号的功率作为干扰,因此可以避免GM2的CS失败,从而可以使能Intra-group Spatial Reuse。
如图7b所示,为场景2,GM1和GM2在下行时间单元(例如D slot)后,紧接着同时发起上行(UL)业务,GM1与GM2同时与GH进行S-UL传输。发起业务的时刻在D slot之后的第1个U slot,例如可以基于GH调度或者RRC配置发起业务。
D-U结构为包括下行(uplink,简称U)时间单元和上行(downlink,简称D)时间单元,其中,在D时间单元和U时间单元之间设置有间隔(Gap)。例如在Gap前的最后一个D slot,该D slot左侧的中间方块表示为SCI,该D slot的右边表示最后一个slot,D slot的右侧中间方块表示CSI-IM导频。
在GM1和GM2发送数据前,需要进行CS。现有技术中CS会把D slot的信号能量当成干扰,当Group内造成的接收信号能量较强时,会导致UE CS失败,进行退避,可能导致无法使能Intra-group Spatial Reuse。而本申请实施例中GM1、GM2不会把组内GH的信号当成干扰,即不将GH的信号的功率作为干扰,因此可以避免GM1、GM2的CS失败,从而可以使能Intra-group Spatial Reuse。
在本申请的一些可选的实施例中,第一设备可以采用直接或者间接的方式确定组间干扰信号强度,从而第一设备可以根据所述组间干扰信号强度判断信道的空闲状态。其中,直接方式是指第一设备可以通过直接测量获取组间干扰信号强度,间接方式是指第一设备先得到信道总能量和信道上的参考信号的接收功率,最后通过信道总能量和参考信号的接收功率计算出组间干扰信号强度。本申请实施例中根据组间干扰信号强度可用于判断信道是否空闲,信道空闲具体指的是组间信道空闲,进而可以使用组间空闲的信道进行数据传输,以提升网络容量和资源效率。
首先对直接确定组间干扰信号强度的方式进行详细说明。以第一设备、第二设备组成一个通信系统为例,第一设备可以进行干扰信号的测量,第二设备可以发送非零功率信号。例如,非零功率信号,可以是组头发送的,也可以是其他组成员发送的,此处不做限定。
本申请实施例提供的直接测量干扰的方案主要包括如下流程:
第二设备配置第一时频资源,所述第一时频资源是干扰测量IM参考信号的配置信息;所述IM参考信号用于测量信道的干扰情况;
第二设备生成非零功率信号,向第一设备发送非零功率信号;所述非零功率信号的时频资源与所述IM参考信号的时频资源与不重叠;
第一设备在第一时间资源上测量干扰信息,确定第一干扰信息强度,其中,第一时间资源是第一设备发送数据消息或者控制消息时刻的前n个子时间单位,n取值小于或等于N/2,N为第一设备发送数据消息或控制消息的时间单位中的子时间单位个数,且N的取值 为正整数;第一干扰信息强度不包含第二干扰信息强度,第二干扰信息强度为第二设备对第一设备造成的干扰,第二设备是与第一设备具有相同组标识的设备;
当干扰信息大于预设的阈值时,第一设备判断信道处于非空闲状态;
当干扰信息小于或等于阈值时,第一设备判断信道处于空闲状态。
在本申请实施例中,第一设备在第一时频资源上进行干扰测量,以确定干扰信息,其中,第一时频资源是根据干扰测量(interference measurement,IM)参考信号的配置信息确定的,IM参考信号用于测量信道的干扰情况,IM参考信号的时频资源与非零功率信号的时频资源不重叠,非零功率信号由第二设备发送,第二设备是与第一设备具有相同组标识的设备;第一设备根据干扰信息判断信道是否处于空闲状态。本申请实施例中,IM参考信号的时频资源与非零功率信号的时频资源不重叠,该IM参考信号可用于确定第一时频资源,第一设备在该第一时频资源上进行干扰测量,从而确定干扰信息,该干扰信息是第一设备和第二设备所在组的组间干扰,该干扰信息能够用于判断出信道是否处于空闲状态,因此本申请实施例中第一设备可以判断信道是否空闲。第一设备可以是组成员,也可以是组头。不限定的,这里的时频资源也可以是时频码资源,此处不做限定。
接下来对间接方式确定组间干扰信号强度的方法进行详细说明。以第一设备、第二设备组成一个通信系统为例,第二设备可以发送第一参考信号,第一设备可以获取第一参考信号所在时间单位内的接收功率,以及测量第一参考信号所在时间单位的最后M个子时间单位内的信道总能量。
本申请实施例提供的间接测量干扰的方案主要包括如下流程:
第二设备向第一设备发送第一参考信号;
第一设备接收来自第二设备的第一参考信号,并测量第一参考信号所在时间单位的最后M个子时间单位内的信道总能量,M的取值为正整数;
第一设备获取第一参考信号在时间单位内的接收功率;
第一设备根据第一参考信号所在时间单位的最后M个子时间单位内的信道总能量和第一参考信号在时间单位内的接收功率确定第一干扰信号强度;
当第一干扰信号强度大于预设的阈值时,第一设备判断信道处于非空闲状态;
当第一干扰信号强度小于或等于阈值时,第一设备判断信道处于空闲状态。
在本申请实施例中,第一设备接收来自第二设备的第一参考信号,并测量第一参考信号所在时间单位的最后M个子时间单位内的信道总能量,其中M的取值为正整数;第一设备获取第一参考信号在时间单位内的接收功率;第一设备根据第一参考信号所在时间单位的最后M个子时间单位内的信道总能量和第一参考信号在时间单位内的接收功率确定第一干扰信号强度;第一设备根据第一干扰信号强度判断信道是否处于空闲状态。本申请实施例中,第一设备获取到了第一参考信号所在时间单位的最后M个子时间单位内的信道总能量,该总能量是信道上第一设备接收到的总能量;第一设备获取到了第一参考信号的接收功率,该接收功率是信道上的第一参考信号的有效功率,因此通过上述的总能量和上述的接收功率可以确定第一干扰信号强度,该第一干扰信号强度是第一设备和第二设备所在组的组间干扰,该第一干扰信号强度能够用于判断信道是否处于空闲状态,因此本申请实施例中第一设备可以判断信道是否空闲。可以理解的是,上述第一设备可以是组头,第二设 备可以是组成员。或者第一设备可以组成员,第二设备可以是组头。
本申请实施例中,为了更好的利用Group,当组头具有多天线能力,或组头具有较强的SIC接收机能力,或者两个组成员的物理距离相距较远时,可以使能组内空间重用(Intra-group Spatial Reuse)来提升网络容量和资源效率。
下面结合图8详细说明本申请提供的信息传输方法,该方法可以应用在图1至图7a、图7b所示的场景中,本申请实施例在此不作限制。
应理解,下文的描述中,以第一设备、第二设备作为各个实施例的执行方法的执行主体为例,对各个实施例的方法进行说明。作为示例而非限定,执行方法的执行主体也可以是应用于第一设备、第二设备中的芯片。
如图8所示,本申请的一些实施例提供的信息传输方法,应用于通信系统,通信系统包括第一设备和第二设备,第二设备是与第一设备具有相同组标识的设备,图8所示的方法为第一设备直接进行干扰测量,以得到干扰信息的方案,该方法包括:步骤801至步骤804。
801、配置CSI-IM图案(Pattern)。
例如,组内的CSI-IM图案由组头配置。其中,同一个组内的CSI-IM图案相同,不同组的CSI-IM图案不同。
第二设备和第一设备处于同一个组内,第一设备和第二设备都可以是组成员,或者一个为组头另外一个为组成员。图8中以第二设备为组头、第一设备为组成员进行示例说明。
在本申请的一些可选的实施例中,该CSI-IM可以是本申请实施例中的一种IM参考信号,该IM参考信号的时频资源是组特定(group specific)的,即同一个组内的IM参考信号配置的时频资源图案是相同的,对于不同组的IM参考信号配置的时频资源图案是不相同的。通过上述配置,使得第一设备可以根据接收到的IM参考信号对应的时频资源确定该IM参考信号对应于哪个组。不限定的,这里的时频资源也可以是时频码资源。
802、第一设备获取到CSI-IM的配置信息。
其中,第一设备可以获取到组头配置的CSI图案,例如,第一设备可以从第二设备获取到第二设备配置的CSI图案。从而第一设备可以通过该CSI图案获取到CSI-IM的配置信息。
例如CSI-IM可以是本申请实施例中的一种IM参考信号。第一设备可以获取到IM参考信号的配置信息,IM参考信号的时频资源与非零功率信号的时频资源不重叠,或者IM参考信号的时频码资源与非零功率信号的时频码资源不重叠。其中,非零功率信号由第二设备发送,非零功率信号是指发射功率不为零的信号。
在本申请实施例中,第二设备和第一设备处于同一个组内,由于业务需求,第二设备向第二设备所在组内的其它设备发送该非零功率信号。例如第二设备可以通过广播的方式发送该非零功率信号。另外,第二设备还可以向第一设备发送该非零功率信号。因此第二设备发送的非零功率信号对于第一设备而言不是组间干扰信号,而是第一设备所在组内的有效接收能量。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中是第一设备只需要在CSI-IM上测量组间干扰,而组内干扰可以是第一设备所在组内的组头或者其它组员造成的。因此第一设备可以先获取到 CSI-IM的配置信息,再根据该CSI-IM进行组间干扰的测量。
在本申请的一些可选的实施例中,第二设备为第一设备配置的干扰测量IM参考信号是根据第二设备的组标识确定的。
其中,不同组标识对应于不同的参考信号,第二设备根据该第二设备的组标识配置上述IM参考信号,第一设备和第二设备具有相同的组标识,第一设备根据该第一设备所在的组标识可以识别出该组对应的IM参考信号,从而使得第一设备可以识别出不同组标识对应的IM参考信号。
803、第一设备在第一时频资源上进行干扰测量,以确定干扰信息。
其中,第一时频资源是根据干扰测量IM参考信号的配置信息确定的,IM参考信号用于测量信道的干扰情况;IM参考信号的时频资源与非零功率信号的时频资源不重叠。
其中,第一设备根据该IM参考信号的配置信息确定第一时频资源,第一设备可以在第一时频资源上进行干扰测量,以确定干扰信息,该干扰信息具体可以是组间干扰信号强度。
第二设备和第一设备处于同一个组内,第一设备和第二设备可以是组成员,第一设备可以根据IM参考信号测量信道的干扰情况。如果有业务需求,第二设备可以发送非零功率信号,该非零功率信号是指发射功率不为零的信号,第一设备可以获取到IM参考信号的配置信息,IM参考信号的时频资源与非零功率信号的时频资源不重叠,此处的不重叠可以指的是IM参考信号的时频资源图案与非零功率信号的时频资源图案不相同。
在本申请的一些可选的实施例中,IM参考信号是根据第二设备的组标识确定的。即不同组标识对应于不同的IM参考信号,第二设备根据该第二设备的组标识配置上述IM参考信号,第一设备和第二设备具有相同的组标识,第一设备根据该第一设备所在的组标识可以识别出该组对应的IM参考信号,从而使得第一设备可以识别出不同组标识对应的IM参考信号。
在本申请的一些可选的实施例中,IM参考信号为零功率参考信号。
其中,IM参考信号是零功率(zero power)参考信号。此时第一设备在该第一时频资源上测量到的能量就是干扰信息,即在第一时频资源上测量得到的干扰信号为组间干扰强度,该组间干扰强度可以称为组间和系统间(inter-group/system)干扰。
在本申请的一些可选的实施例中,IM参考信号具体可以是信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS),即该IM参考信号可以表示为“CSI-RS IM”,由于CSI-RS IM是零功率的,第一设备在对应的时频资源上测量到的能量就是组间信号干扰强度。
在本申请的一些可选的实施例中,第一时频资源,在时域上只包括IM参考信号所在时间单位中的最后n个子时间单位,n取值小于或等于N/2,N为时间单位中的子时间单位个数,且N的取值为正整数。
其中,本申请实施例可以用于适配增强型先听后说(enhanced listen before talk,e-LBT)或者先听后说(listen before talk,LBT)场景,例如e-LBT增强了群组场景下的资源利用率,利用空间复用来提升效率。第一时频资源在时域上可以只包括IM参考信号所在时间单位中的最后n个子时间单位,即IM参考信号不在该时间单位的前(N-n)个子时间单元上传输。例如时间单元可以是时隙(slot),子时间单元可以是符号(symbol)。不 限定的是,时间单元和子时间单元的实现方式不局限于上述举例,只要满足时间单元大于子时间单元的情况,都可以适用。例如,第一时频资源,在时域上只包括IM参考信号所在时间单位中的最后1个子时间单位,即n的取值可以为1,本申请实施例中不限定n的取值可以为其它值,例如n的取值为2。
本申请实施例中,第一时频资源的实现方式可以如后续图12a至图12c中任意一个图例,如图12a至图12c,示意说明了三种可能的时频资源图案,例如图12a至图12c中,每个图中所有的格子表示1个物理资源块(physical resource block,PRB),其中包含14个符号(symbol)和12个资源单元(resource element,RE),即14列12行。一种可选的时频资源图案,时域位置在最后一个symbol,可能的pattern的频域为4个RE,可以分布在上、中、下三种位置。
在本申请的一些可选的实施例中,IM参考信号为信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS)。该CSI-RS为零功率(zero power)信号,即在对应的时频位置发送功率为0。不限定的是,本申请实施例提供的IM参考信号也可以是其它信号,此处不做限定。
在本申请的一些可选的实施例中,步骤803第一设备确定干扰信息,包括:
第一设备根据如下方式确定干扰信息:
P 2=P 1+10log10(M 2/M 1);
其中,P 1表示第一设备在第一时频资源上测量得到的干扰功率,P 2表示干扰信息,M 2为信道竞争机制中的测量带宽,M 1为IM参考信号所占的带宽;
当P 2大于预设的阈值时,信道处于非空闲状态;
当P 2小于或等于阈值时,信道处于空闲状态。
例如,在IM参考信号占用的RE上,进行干扰功率的平均,或者求和等,获得P1。
例如,M 1为IM参考信号所占的带宽,即第一设备根据IM参考信号的配置信息,可以得到IM参考信号所占的带宽。M 2为信道竞争机制中的测量带宽,该信道竞争机制中的测量带宽为预先规定的带宽,例如信道竞争机制中的测量带宽可以是LBT定义的测量带宽。可以理解的是,本申请实施例中带宽还可以表示为资源单元(RE)个数、频域资源大小等,此处不做限定。
可选的,M 1可以为IM参考信号所占用的RE个数,M 2可以为LBT定义测量带宽所对应的RE数。又或者,M 1可以为IM参考信号所占用的频率资源,M 2可以为LBT测量带宽所占用的频率资源。
本申请实施例中,第一设备在第一时频资源上测量得到的干扰功率P 1,按照上述公式进行转换,以得到干扰信息P 2,通过上述公式,可以获得最终的干扰信息,基于该干扰信息可以判断信道是否空闲。
804、第一设备根据干扰信息判断信道是否处于空闲状态。
在本申请实施例中,第一设备确定干扰信息之后,第一设备可以确定该第一设备的组间干扰信号强度,由此第一设备可以判断出信道是否处于空闲状态,其中,信道处于空闲状态与信道空闲为相同含义。
可选的,当所述干扰信息大于预设的阈值时,所述第一设备判断所述信道处于非空闲 状态;
当所述干扰信息小于或等于所述阈值时,所述第一设备判断所述信道处于空闲状态。
其中,若信道处于空闲状态,第一设备可以在该信道上进行组内空间重用,以提升资源利用率。相反的,若信道不空闲,第一设备无法在该信道上进行组内空间复用。上述举例说明中,信道空闲具体指的是组间信道空闲,进而可以使用组间空闲的信道进行数据传输,以提升网络容量和资源效率。
下面结合图9详细说明本申请提供的信息传输方法,该方法可以应用在图1至图7a、图7b所示的场景中,本申请实施例在此不作限制。
应理解,下文的描述中,以第一设备、第二设备作为各个实施例的执行方法的执行主体为例,对各个实施例的方法进行说明。作为示例而非限定,执行方法的执行主体也可以是应用于第一设备、第二设备中的芯片。
如图9所示,本申请的一些实施例提供的信息传输方法,应用于通信系统,通信系统包括第一设备和第二设备,第二设备是与第一设备具有相同组标识的设备,图9所示的方案为第一设备通过间接测量得到组间信号干扰强度的方案,该方法包括:步骤901至步骤904。
901、第二设备向第一设备发送第一参考信号。
其中,第二设备和第一设备属于同一个组,第一设备和第二设备可以都是组成员,或者一个为组头另外一个为组成员。例如第二设备可以通过广播的方式在该组内发送第一参考信号,第一设备接收该第一参考信号,并通过该第一参考信号确定信道是否空闲。详见后续实施例针对第一设备一侧的说明。
在本申请的一些可选的实施例中,第二设备可以广播侧行链路控制信息(sidelink control information,SCI),该SCI中携带前述的第一参考信号的配置信息,例如SCI携带第一参考信号的时频资源图案(pattern),则第一设备可以接收该SCI,并通过该SCI确定第一参考信号的时频资源图案,进而接收第二设备发送的第一参考信号。
在本申请的一些可选的实施例中,第一参考信号为解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS)。不限定的是,本申请实施例提供的第一参考信号也可以是其它信号,只要第一设备可以测量该第一参考信号即可,此处不做限定。
在本申请的一些可选的实施例中,第一参考信号的发送方式有多种,例如第一参考信号可以承载于物理侧行链路共享信道(physical sidelink share channel,PSSCH),或者物理侧行链路控制信道(physical sidelink control channel,PSCCH)。后续实施例分别针对PSSCH和PSCCH上的参考信号的测量过程进行举例说明。
902、第一设备接收来自第二设备的第一参考信号,并测量第一参考信号所在时间单位的最后M个子时间单位内的信道总能量,M的取值为正整数。
在本申请实施例中,第一设备和第二设备属于同一个组,第一设备和第二设备可以都是组成员,或者一个为组头另外一个为组成员。第二设备可以发送第一参考信号,第一设备接收该第一参考信号。为了适配e-LBT或者LBT场景,第一设备在接收第一参考信号时,需要测量第一参考信号所在时间单位的最后M个子时间单位内的信道总能量,该信道总能量是信道上第一设备接收到的总能量。其中,该时间单位是时隙(slot),子时间单位可以 是符号。不限定的是,时间单元和子时间单元的实现方式不局限于上述举例,只要满足时间单元大于子时间单元的情况,都可以适用。例如,测量第一参考信号所在时间单位的最后1个子时间单位内的总能量,即M的取值可以为1,本申请实施例中不限定M的取值可以为其它值,例如M的取值为2。
在本申请实施例中,第一设备测量第一参考信号所在时间单位的最后M个子时间单位内的信道总能量,该总能量具体可以是第一设备测量得到的参考信号接收强度(reference signal strength indicate,RSSI)。不限定的是,本申请实施例中第一设备在测量出前述的总能量之后,第一设备还可以对该总能量进行归一化处理,例如可以将该总能量归一化到每个资源单元(resource element,RE)。
903、第一设备获取第一参考信号在时间单位内的接收功率。
其中,第一设备在接收第一参考信号时,第一设备还可以获取该第一参考信号在时间单位内的接收功率,例如该接收功率可以是参考信号接收功率(reference signal receive power,RSRP)。第一参考信号在时间单位内的接收功率是第一设备所在组内的有效接收能量。
在本申请的一些可选的实施例中,步骤903第一设备获取第一参考信号在时间单位内的接收功率,包括:
A1、第一设备确定第一参考信号所在时间单位对应的频率资源;
A2、第一设备在第一参考信号所在时间单位对应的频率资源上进行参考信号测量,以得到第一参考信号在时间单位内的接收功率。
其中,第一设备可以通过第一参考信号的配置信息得到第一参考信号所在时间单位对应的频率资源,然后第一设备在第一参考信号所在时间单位对应的频率资源上进行参考信号测量,通过测量结果得到第一参考信号在时间单位内的接收功率。对于参考信号的测量过程,本申请实施例不再给出详细过程。本申请实施例通过上述在第一参考信号对应的频率资源上进行参考信号测量,可以获取到第一参考信号的接收功率,解决了无法获取第一参考信号的接收功率的问题。
904、第一设备根据第一参考信号所在时间单位的最后M个子时间单位内的信道总能量和第一参考信号在时间单位内的接收功率确定第一干扰信号强度。
在本申请实施例中,第一设备通过前述步骤902确定第一参考信号所在时间单位的最后M个子时间单位内的信道总能量,基于前述分析可知,该总能量是承载第一参考信号的信道的总能量。通过前述步骤903确定第一参考信号在时间单位内的接收功率,基于前述分析可知,该接收功率是第一设备所在组内的有效接收能量,因此通过两者就可以确定第一干扰信号强度,该第一干扰信号强度是第一设备所在组的组间干扰信号强度。
在本申请的一些可选的实施例中,步骤904第一设备根据第一参考信号所在时间单位的最后M个子时间单位内的信道总能量和第一参考信号在时间单位内的接收功率确定第一干扰信号强度,包括:
在第一设备和第二设备所在的组内有数据传输的频率资源上,第一设备确定第一干扰信号强度等于第一参考信号所在时间单位的最后M个子时间单位内的信道总能量,减去第一参考信号在时间单位内的接收功率;或者,
在第一设备和第二设备所在的组内没有数据传输的频率资源上,第一设备确定第一干扰信号强度等于第一参考信号所在时间单位的最后M个子时间单位内的信道总能量。
其中,第一设备所在组的频率资源可以分为两种:一种是组内有数据传输的频率资源,另一种是组内有没有数据传输的频率资源。对于组内有数据传输的频率资源的情况,通过前述的总能量和接收功率之间进行相减运算,可以得到第一干扰信号强度。对于组内有没有数据传输的频率资源的情况,第一设备接收到信道的总能量就是第一干扰信号强度。本申请实施例中通过针对组内是否有数据传输的频率资源的情况,都可以确定第一干扰信号强度。
在本申请的一些可选的实施例中,步骤904第一设备确定第一干扰信号强度之后,本申请实施例提供的信息传输方法还包括:
B1、第一设备根据参考信号与数据信号的功率对应关系对第一干扰信号强度进行调整,得到调整后的第一干扰信号强度。
其中,通过前述步骤904的说明可知,第一设备确定的第一干扰信号强度是通过第一参考信号所在最后M个子时间单元的总能量,以及第一参考信号对应的接收功率得到的,为了得到更真实的信道环境干扰情况,还需要对第一干扰信号强度进行调整,例如可以将参考信号的功率向数据(data)信号的功率拉齐,获取到参考信号与数据信号的功率对应关系,例如该对应关系可以是参考信号与数据信号之间的比例关系,该比例关系可以通过配置信息获取。最后根据参考信号与数据信号的功率对应关系对第一干扰信号强度进行调整,从而使得获取到的调整后的第一干扰信号强度能够表示更真实的信道环境干扰情况。
905、第一设备根据第一干扰信号强度判断信道是否处于空闲状态。
在本申请实施例中,第一设备确定第一干扰信号强度之后,第一设备可以确定该第一设备的组间干扰信号强度,由此第一设备可以判断出信道是否处于空闲状态,其中,信道处于空闲状态与信道空闲为相同含义。进一步的,若信道处于空闲状态,第一设备可以在该信道上进行组内空间重用,以提升资源利用率。相反的,若信道不空闲,第一设备无法在该信道上进行组内空间复用。
可选的,当所述第一信号干扰强度大于预设的阈值时,所述第一设备判断所述信道处于非空闲状态;
当所述第一信号干扰强度小于或等于所述阈值时,所述第一设备判断所述信道处于空闲状态。
其中,若信道处于空闲状态,第一设备可以在该信道上进行组内空间重用,以提升资源利用率。相反的,若信道不空闲,第一设备无法在该信道上进行组内空间复用。上述举例说明中,信道空闲具体指的是组间信道空闲,进而可以使用组间空闲的信道进行数据传输,以提升网络容量和资源效率。
相应的,在执行步骤B1的实现场景下,步骤905第一设备根据第一干扰信号强度判断信道是否处于空闲状态,包括:
C1、第一设备根据调整后的第一干扰信号强度判断信道是否处于空闲状态。
其中,第一设备可以根据参考信号与数据信号的功率对应关系对第一干扰信号强度进行调整,从而使得获取到的调整后的第一干扰信号强度能够表示更真实的信道环境干扰情 况,使用该调整后的第一干扰信号强度判断信道是否处于空闲状态,从而可以更准确的判断出信道是否空闲。
在本申请的一些可选的实施例中,步骤905第一设备根据第一干扰信号强度判断信道是否处于空闲状态,包括:
第一设备通过如下方式将第一干扰信号强度转换为组间干扰功率:
P 2=P 1+10log10(M 2/M 1);
其中,P 1表示第一干扰信号强度,P 2表示组间干扰功率,M 2为信道竞争机制中的测量带宽,M 1为第一参考信号所占的带宽;
当组间干扰功率大于预设的阈值时,第一设备确定信道处于非空闲状态;
当组间干扰功率小于或等于阈值时,第一设备确定信道处于空闲状态。
例如,M 1为IM参考信号所占的带宽,即第一设备根据IM参考信号的配置信息,可以得到IM参考信号所占的带宽。M 2为信道竞争机制中的测量带宽,该信道竞争机制中的测量带宽为预先规定的带宽,例如信道竞争机制中的测量带宽可以是LBT定义的测量带宽。
可选的,M 1可以为IM参考信号所占用的RE个数,M 2可以为LBT定义测量带宽所对应的RE数。又或者,M 1可以为IM参考信号所占用的频率资源,M 2可以为LBT测量带宽所占用的频率资源。
本申请实施例中,第一设备在第一时频资源上测量得到的干扰功率P 1,按照上述公式进行转换,以得到干扰信息P 2,通过上述公式,可以生成干扰信息,基于该干扰信息可以判断信道是否空闲。
为便于更好的理解和实施本申请实施例的上述方案,下面举例相应的应用场景来进行具体说明。
本申请实施例可以适用于增强LBT场景,终端设备在载波侦听(carrier sensing,CS)时排除组内传输产生的接收能量,只计算组间干扰强度(和系统间干扰强度),即组间(和系统间)(inter-group/system)干扰强度,将得到的组间干扰强度用作LBT门限对比值,使能组内空间复用,提升资源利用率。
本申请实施例分为如下3个实施例来分别描述信息传输方法的具体应用场景。
为了使能组内空间复用,可以从以下多种实现方式来考虑计算组间干扰强度(或者系统间干扰强度),一种是直接计算组间干扰强度(和系统间干扰强度)的方式,详见后续实施例一,另一种是间接计算组间干扰强度(和系统间干扰强度)的方式,详见后续实施例二和三,即通过获取信道总能量和组内有效能量,两者相减,便可以得到组间干扰强度(或者系统间干扰强度)。
首先对本申请实施例应用的系统架构进行说明,图10为本申请实施例提供的一种UE进行侧链路通信的场景示意图,在如图10所示的场景中,用户设备(user equipment,UE)之间可以通过侧链路(Sidelink)相互通信发送数据。图11为本申请实施例提供的一种侧链路通信中采用组机制的场景示意图,多个UE也以组(group)的形式来加强通信效率。在组中,组头可以充当部分基站的角色,来统筹协调整个群组的管理。UE是具备传输能力的设备,例如UE可以是终端设备,如手机、电脑、手环、智能手表、数据卡、传感器等设备。而充当组头的UE,从产品形态上来看,也是UE的一种实现方式,只是充当组头的UE 具备了部分基站的能力,具有中心控制功能、能够配置资源和接收数据的设备。
实施例一
在本申请实施例提供的一种LBT增强场景下,支持组间干扰强度(和系统间干扰强度)测量的方法为直接测量获取干扰,具体过程说明如下。
对于配置了CSI-RS IM参考信号的UE,利用IM参考信号的零功率特性,UE在对应CSI-RS IM的图案上测量得到的信号能量,即为组间干扰强度(和系统间干扰强度)。具体的,第一设备获取IM参考信号的第一时频资源,由于IM参考信号的功率为零,则在第一时频资源上测量得到总功率,该总功率即为组间干扰(和系统间干扰),记为P 1
CSI-RS IM的时频资源的图案是组特定(specific)的。一种可选的方法包括:组内的时频资源图案配置一致,不同组的CSI-RS IM时频资源图案错开。时频资源的图案整体遵循新无线(new radio,NR)系统已有的CSI-RS IM的时频资源的图案,适配e-LBT的应用场景。可选的,该时域资源可以位于每个时隙的最后1个symbol。例如,CSI-RS IM时频资源的图案与NR的目前CSI-RS IM图案1相同。
如图12a至图12c,示意说明了三种可能的时频资源图案,例如在图12a至图12c中,每个图中所有的格子表示1个物理资源块(physical resource block,PRB),其中包含14个symbol和12个RE,即14列12行。一种可选的时频资源图案中,时域位置在最后一个symbol,可能的pattern的频域为4个RE,可以分布在上、中、下三种位置。其中,Symbol是时间单位,RE是频域单位。
可选的,时频资源图案的频域带宽具有多种实现方式,例如,时频资源图案的频域带宽可以是GH和GM所支持的所有带宽。又如,时频资源图案的频域带宽可以是UE特定的子信道(specific subchannel)的带宽,或者时频资源图案的频域带宽是组特定的子信道的带宽。
可选的,P 1与LBT门限P 2转换过程如下:
统一归一化到LBT门限:P 2=P 1+10log10(M 2/M 1)。
上述公式中各个参数的含义详见前述实施例的说明。
例如,当前协议中LBT的门限都是以LBT带宽(如20M)为单位,M 2为LBT定义的测量带宽所占的频谱资源,M1为CSI-IM实际测量带宽所占的频谱资源。
可选的,M 1可以为IM参考信号所占用的RE个数,M 2可以为LBT定义测量带宽所对应的RE数。又或者,M 1可以为IM参考信号所占用的频率资源,M 2可以为LBT测量带宽所占用的频率资源。
实施例二
在本申请实施例提供的一种LBT增强场景下,支持组间干扰强度(和系统间干扰强度)测量的方法为间接获取干扰,具体过程说明如下。
解码(Decode)组内的SCI,测量组内PSSCH的DMRS的RSRP。例如可以解调SCI,得到DMRS位置,对DMRS的信道进行估计得到信道信息H,对H求模方,从而可以得到RSRP。
基于测量得到的信道总能量,减去组内的有效能量得到的即为组间干扰强度(和系统间干扰强度),其中,组内的有效能量指的是组内的DMRS RSRP。
具体过程如下,在组内广播SCI,任意UE都能检测该SCI。若无法检测得到本组的SCI, 则表示组间干扰很严重。
计算方式如下,在有组内数据传输的频带上,根据SCI中指示的PSSCH DMRS图案,测量DMRS的RSRP。若PSSCH具有多个DMRS符号,可以对多个符号进行线性平均;RSRP归一化到每RE。例如一个RB中有12个RE。一个数据调度的RB个数根据业务来定,例如RB个数可能是1个,也可能是多个,此处不做限定。
其中,DMRS的发送功率可能和数据(Data)的发送功率不一致。为了保证测量得到的功率表征的是Data功率,因此DMRS的功率需要向Data功率拉齐。以保障测量到的信号能量代表的是数据的能量。
在没有组内数据传输的频带上,SumDmrsRsrp为0,测量到的RSSI即为组间或系统间组间干扰强度(和系统间干扰强度);归一化到每RE。
在slot的最后一个符号测量总的能量RSSI,归一化到每RE。为了进行LBT,可以限定需要在最后1个slot测量总能量。
组间/系统间干扰记为P 1,为P 1=RSSI–SumDmrsRsrp。
其中,SumDmrsRsrp为组内所有DMRS端口(Port)的RSRP之和。RSSI是测量得到的信道总能量,包含组内有效能量和组间/系统间干扰的总能量。
如图13所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种计算组间干扰信号强度的应用场景示意图,一个UE可能被配置了多个DMRS,例如图13中的2列表示在两个端口上测量DMRS图13表示了3组正交的DMRS Port。
可选的,P 1与LBT门限P 2转换过程如下:
统一归一化到LBT门限:P 2=P 1+10log10(M 2/M 1)。
上述公式中各个参数的含义详见前述实施例的说明。
例如,当前协议中LBT的门限都是以LBT带宽(如20M)为单位,M 2为LBT定义的测量带宽所占的频谱资源,M 1为CSI-IM实际测量带宽所占的频谱资源。
可选的,M 1可以为IM参考信号所占用的RE个数,M 2可以为LBT定义测量带宽所对应的RE数。又或者,M 1可以为IM参考信号所占用的频率资源,M 2可以为LBT测量带宽所占用的频率资源。
实施例三
在本申请实施例提供的一种LBT增强场景下,支持组间干扰强度(或者系统间干扰强度)测量的方法为间接获取干扰,具体过程说明如下。
解码组内SCI,测量组内PSCCH的DMRS RSRP,基于测量得到的信道总能量,减去组内的有效能量,得到的即为组间干扰强度(或者系统间干扰强度)。
实施例三与实施例二的区别在于,实施例二是测量组内PSSCH的DMRS RSRP,但是实施例三是测量组内PSCCH的DMRS RSRP。
具体过程如下,组内广播SCI,任意UE都能检测该SCI。若无法检测得到本组的SCI,则表示组间干扰很严重了。
计算方式如下,在有组内数据传输的频带上,根据检测SCI得到的PSCCH DMRS RSRP对多个符号,进行线性平均;RSRP归一化到每RE。PSCCH DMRS的功率需要向PSSCH拉齐,保障测量到的信号能量代表的是PSSCH的能量。
在没有组内数据传输的频带上,SumDmrsRsrp为0,测量到的RSSI即为组间干扰强度(或者系统间干扰强度);归一化到每RE。
在slot的最后一个symbol测量总的能量RSSI,归一化到每RE。
组间/系统间干扰记为P 1,为P 1=RSSI–SumDmrsRsrp。
其中,SumDmrsRsrp为组内所有DMRS端口(Port)的RSRP之和。RSSI是测量得到的信道总能量,包含组内有效能量和组间/系统间干扰的总能量。
如图14所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种计算组间干扰信号强度的应用场景示意图,3个箭头所指的深色方块是PSCCH的DMRS,浅色方块表示PSCCH。
可选的,P 1与LBT门限P 2转换过程如下:
统一归一化到LBT门限:P 2=P 1+10log10(M 2/M 1)。
上述公式中各个参数的含义详见前述实施例的说明。
例如,当前协议中LBT的门限都是以LBT带宽(如20M)为单位,M 2为LBT定义的测量带宽所占的频谱资源,M 1为CSI-IM实际测量带宽所占的频谱资源。
可选的,M 1可以为IM参考信号所占用的RE个数,M 2可以为LBT定义测量带宽所对应的RE数。又或者,M 1可以为IM参考信号所占用的频率资源,M 2可以为LBT测量带宽所占用的频率资源。
通过前述举例说明可知,为了使能组内空间复用,增强了LBT的方式,在进行干扰测量时,排除组内能量造成的干扰,只计算组间干扰强度(或者系统间干扰强度),用作LBT门限对比值。提升网络容量和资源效率。
