Description

无线通信方法和装置
本申请要求于2021年04月02日提交中国专利局、申请号为202110363709.8、申请名称为“无线通信方法和装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,并且更具体地,涉及一种无线通信方法和装置。
背景技术
随着移动通信技术的不断发展,频谱资源日趋紧张。为了提高频谱利用率,未来的接入网设备部署将会更加密集。在传统蜂窝网络架构下,接入网设备通过光纤实现终端设备和核心网之间的连接。然而在很多场景下,光纤的部署成本非常高昂。因此,可以采用接入回传一体化(integrated access and backhaul node,IAB)技术,通过中继设备与接入网设备之间的无线回传链路,实现与核心网之间的连接,从而避免大量的光纤部署所造成的较高的成本。
然而,在新空口(new radio,NR)系统中,中继节点的资源配置较为冗余复杂,并且配置开销和动态指示资源的开销过大。因此,如何对中继节点的资源进行配置,能够降低配置复杂度和信令开销是当前亟需解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请提供一种无线通信方法和装置,能够实现对中继节点的资源配置,降低资源配置的复杂度,同时降低信令开销。
第一方面,提供了一种无线通信方法,包括:接收第一信息,该第一信息包括第一图案的指示信息,该第一图案是多个图案中的一个,该多个图案中的每个图案用于指示至少一种资源在频域上的分布,该至少一种资源包括以下资源中的至少一种:第一资源、第二资源、第三资源,该第一资源是一定可用的资源,该第二资源是不可用的资源,该第三资源是否可用由第一指示信息确定,该第一指示信息是第一网络设备发送的,其中,任意两个图案所指示的资源分布不同;根据该第一图案与第二网络设备和/或终端设备进行通信。
示例性的,针对第三资源的可用性,当该第一网络设备不发送该第一指示信息时,默认DU cell不可用该第三资源。
应理解,本申请适用于包括中继节点的无线通信系统,其中,该中继节点可以是IAB节点,或者还可以是终端设备,即具有无线中继功能的终端设备。其中,该第一资源、第二资源、第三资源是否可用可以是针对第一节点的分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)的小区cell进行配置的,或者是针对第一节点的分布式单元的部分带宽(bandwidth part,BWP)进行配置的,或者是针对第一节点的分布式单元DU的部分频域资源,例如频域资源块组 (resource block group,RBG)进行配置的,该第一网络设备是第一节点的的上级节点,该第二网络设备是第一节点的下级节点。
需要说明的是,该第一资源可以为频域H资源(hard),说明DU cell一定可用的频域资源;第二资源可以为频域NA资源(not available),说明DU cell不可用的资源,此时移动终端(mobile-termination,MT)可用的资源;第三资源可以为频域S资源(soft),说明DU cell是否可用该资源需要根据上级节点发送的指示信息确定。
在本申请实施例中,S资源是否可用在被进一步指示后,可以被确定为“可用”或“不可用”,或者可以被确定为“可用”或“不指示可用”。其中,是否可用的指示可以针对上行、下行、灵活三种TDD传输方向配置中的一种或多种进行配置。例如,通过信令指示S的上行资源指示可用,下行和灵活资源不指示可用等。
示例性的,当该至少一种资源是第一资源时,第一节点可以与终端设备和/或下级中继节点进行通信;当该至少一种资源是第二资源时,第一节点不可以与终端设备进行通信,第一节点可以与第一网络设备进行通信;该至少一种资源是第三资源时,第一节点需要根据第一网络设备的指示确定第三资源是否可用于与终端设备和/或下级中继节点进行通信。
需要说明的是,根据该第一图案与第二网络设备和/或终端设备进行通信,包括:根据该第一图案确定该第一节点与第二网络设备和/或终端设备进行通信的资源,该第一节点是中继节点。
根据本申请提供的方案,通过配置和定义多个频域资源图案,每个图案中包括的资源类型至少包括一定可用、不可用、是否可用依赖于上级节点的进一步指示中的至少一种,并通过第一信息指示第一图案,该第一图案用于实现网络设备与第一节点和/或终端设备之间的通信。通过对频分复用的资源分配进行约束,使得网络(例如,宿主基站和IAB节点)至少可以频分和不频分DU cell的可用带宽,半静态地为终端设备(例如,UE)配置适配的几种带宽下的信号与信道资源等,避免由于频分资源的配置过于复杂,导致信令开销过大,并且UE自身可能不支持保存太多的资源配置而造成负担,所以频分资源的配置不过于灵活能够减少信令开销,提升系统性能。
应理解,不论是在本申请中频分图案pattern配置的方案中,还是按照上述可能的实现方式中半静态的配置频域资源分段的方案,或者是按照目前技术中涉及的配置多个频域资源块组RBG的方案中,都需要考虑MT与DU之间的保护带(guard band)。
示例性的,可以通过协议定义,或者IAB向宿主基站上报:在频分(或频分图案)配置时,对于确定保护带的大小的约束条件,包括:保护带与DU或者MT带宽的关系;保护带与传输定时模式之间的关系;保护带与同步状态之间的关系等。
需要说明的是,IAB向宿主基站上报,可能发生在宿主基站向IAB发送频分配置之前,也有可能发生在宿主基站向IAB发送频分配置之后。
对于发生在宿主基站向IAB发送频分配置之后的情况,可以理解为宿主基站先配置了一套配置下来,IAB收到后发现不满足保护带要求或其硬件能力,所以才触发IAB上报这些约束条件。
还应理解,针对不同的传输模式,协议标准上定义了不同的传输定时方案,包括case1、case6和case7。其中case 1定时模式要求IAB节点DU的发送时间与其他节点包括Donor节点相同,满足TDD系统的站间同步要求;Case6定时模式用于空分发送;case7定时模 式用于空分接收,还有可能用于上行全双工。
上述三种定时类型,规定了IAB节点的MT的上行传输定时的确定规则。其中,在定时类型2和定时类型3中,MT的上行传输定时均与DU的下行传输定时有关。应理解,在本申请实施例中,DU的下行传输定时可以根据任意方法确定。例如,结合定时类型1,DU的下行传输定时可以与IAB宿主节点的下行传输定时对齐。具体地,DU的下行传输定时可以基于空口同步信令(over-the-air synchronization,OTA synchronization)由上级节点进行指示与调整,或者DU的下行传输定时可以基于全球定位系统(global positioning system,GPS)获取,或者根据全球导航卫星系统(global navigation satellite system,GNSS)或北斗等其他支持授时的系统获取。

还应理解,针对不同的传输模式,协议标准上定义了不同的传输定时方案,包括case1、case6和case7。其中case 1定时模式要求IAB节点DU的发送时间与其他节点包括Donor节点相同,满足TDD系统的站间同步要求;Case6定时模式用于空分发送;case7定时模式用于空分接收,还有可能用于上行全双工。
上述三种定时类型,规定了IAB节点的MT的上行传输定时的确定规则。其中,在定时类型2和定时类型3中,MT的上行传输定时均与DU的下行传输定时有关。应理解,在本申请实施例中,DU的下行传输定时可以根据任意方法确定。例如,结合定时类型1,DU的下行传输定时可以与IAB宿主节点的下行传输定时对齐。具体地,DU的下行传输定时可以基于空口同步信令(OTA synchronization)由上级节点进行指示与调整,或者DU的下行传输定时可以基于全球定位系统GPS获取,或者根据全球导航卫星系统GNSS或北斗等其他支持授时的系统获取。
需要说明的是,不同的定时模式即隐式的表征了传输模式,其所需要的保护带大小就可能不同。例如,全双工一般相比于空分复用,需要更多的保护带。一般在空分发送或空分接收时,为了增加MT与DU的隔离度,会采用频分复用。

应理解,不论是在本申请中频分图案pattern配置的方案中,还是按照上述可能的实现方式中半静态的配置频域资源分段的方案,或者是按照目前技术中涉及的配置多个频域资源块组RBG的方案中,都需要考虑MT与DU之间的保护带(guard band)。

需要说明的是,IAB向宿主基站上报,可能发生在宿主基站向IAB发送频分配置之前,也有可能发生在宿主基站向IAB发送频分配置之后。
对于发生在宿主基站向IAB发送频分配置之后的情况,可以理解为宿主基站先配置了一套配置下来,IAB收到后发现不满足保护带要求或其硬件能力,所以才触发IAB上报这些约束条件。
还应理解,针对不同的传输模式,协议标准上定义了不同的传输定时方案,包括case1、case6和case7。其中case 1定时模式要求IAB节点DU的发送时间与其他节点包括Donor节点相同,满足TDD系统的站间同步要求;Case6定时模式用于空分发送;case7定时模式用于空分接收,还有可能用于上行全双工。
上述三种定时类型,规定了IAB节点的MT的上行传输定时的确定规则。其中,在定时类型2和定时类型3中,MT的上行传输定时均与DU的下行传输定时有关。应理解,在本申请实施例中,DU的下行传输定时可以根据任意方法确定。例如,结合定时类型1,DU的下行传输定时可以与IAB宿主节点的下行传输定时对齐。具体地,DU的下行传输定时可以基于空口同步信令(OTA synchronization)由上级节点进行指示与调整,或者DU的下行传输定时可以基于全球定位系统GPS获取,或者根据全球导航卫星系统GNSS或北斗等其他支持授时的系统获取。
需要说明的是,不同的定时模式即隐式的表征了传输模式,其所需要的保护带大小就可能不同。例如,全双工一般相比于空分复用,需要更多的保护带。一般在空分发送或空分接收时,为了增加MT与DU的隔离度,会采用频分复用。
示例性的,一般考虑可以在采用上述定时模式case和定时模式case时进行频分复用。
在本申请中,可以通过协议定义,或者IAB向宿主基站上报频分(或频分图案)的配置约束条件。例如:DU cell的最低频点的RB、DU cell的最高频点的RB、DU cell频分后 至少包括初始部分带宽、DU cell频分后,不能有不连续的频域资源、DU cell频分后,最多被分成X段连续的频域资源、DU cell的最低频点开始的,连续X个RB、DU cell的最高频点往下的,连续X个RB等等。

下面将结合附图,对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile communication,GSM)系统、码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)系统、宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,WCDMA)系统、通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service,GPRS)、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),也可以扩展到类似的无线通信系统中,如无线保真(wireless-fidelity,WIFI),以及第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)相关的蜂窝系统等。
通常来说,传统的通信系统支持的连接数有限,也易于实现。然而,随着通信技术的发展,移动通信系统将不仅支持传统的通信,还将支持例如,设备到设备(device to device,D2D)通信,机器到机器(machine to machine,M2M)通信,机器类型通信(machine type communication,MTC),车联网(vehicle to everything,V2X)通信,例如,车到车(vehicle to vehicle,V2V)通信、车到基础设施(vehicle to infrastructure,V2I)通信、车到行人(vehicle to pedestrian,V2P)通信、车到网络(vehicle to network,V2N)通信等,车间通信长期演进技术(Long Term Evolution-Vehicle,LTE-V)、车联网、机器类通信(machine type communication,MTC)、物联网(Internet of Things,IoT)、机器间通信长期演进技术(Long Term Evolution-Machine,LTE-M),机器到机器(Machine to Machine,M2M)等。
本申请实施例中的终端设备可以称为用户设备(user equipment,UE)、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、软终端等,包括各种具有无线通信功能的手持设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备。终端可以是移动站(Mobile Station,MS)、用户单元(subscriber unit)、蜂窝电话(cellular phone)、智能电话(smart phone)、无线数据卡、个人数字助理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)电脑、平板型电脑、无线调制解调器(modem)、手持设备(handset)、膝上型电脑(laptop computer)、机器类型通信(Machine Type Communication,MTC)终端等。

此外,终端设备还可以是物联网(internet of things,IoT)系统中的终端设备。IoT是未来信息技术发展的重要组成部分,其主要技术特点是将物品通过通信技术与网络连接,从而实现人机互连,物物互连的智能化网络。应理解,本申请对于终端设备的具体形式不作限定。
本申请实施例中的网络设备是一种部署在无线接入网中为终端设备提供无线通信功能的装置。该设备包括但不限于:无线网络控制器(Radio Network Controller,RNC)、基站控制器(Base Station Controller,BSC)、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 point,TP)或者发送接收点(transmission and reception point,TRP)等,还可以为5G(如NR)系统中的gNB或传输点(TRP或TP),或者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(distributed unit,DU)等。
本申请实施例中的网络设备可以包括各种形式的宏基站,微基站(也称为小站),中继站,接入点等,可以是全球移动通讯GSM系统或码分多址CDMA中的基站(Base Transceiver Station,BTS),也可以是宽带码分多址WCDMA系统中的基站(NodeB,NB),还可以是LTE系统中的演进型基站(Evolutional NodeB,eNB或eNodeB),还可以是云无线接入网络(Cloud Radio Access Network,CRAN)场景下的无线控制器,或者该网络设备可以为中继站、接入点、可穿戴设备或车载设备、可穿戴设备以及未来5G网络中的网络设备或者未来演进的公用陆地移动通信网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)网络中的网络设备等。
在一种网络结构中,网络设备可以包括集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)节点、或分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)节点、或包括CU节点和DU节点的RAN设备、或者控制面CU节点(CU-CP节点)和用户面CU节点(CU-UP节点)以及DU节点的RAN设备。网络设备为小区提供服务,终端设备通过网络设备分配的传输资源(例如,频域资源)与小区进行通信,该小区可以属于宏基站,也可以属于小小区(small cell)对应的基站,这里的小小区可以包括:城市小区(metro cell)、微小区(micro cell)、微微小区(pico cell)、毫微微小区(femto cell)等,这些小小区具有覆盖范围小、发射功率低的特点,适用于提供高速率的数据传输服务。
图1是适用本申请的网络架构的一例示意图,如图1所示,该网络架构包括网络设备(例如,宿主基站)、中继设备(例如,IAB节点1和IAB节点2)和终端设备(例如, UE1和UE2)三类设备。其中,中继设备在网络设备计划覆盖范围外。中继设备到网络设备的距离大于终端设备到网络设备的距离。网络设备和中继设备之间的链路可以称为回传(backhaul,BH)链路,中继设备和终端设备之间的链路可以称为接入(access,AC)链路。
需要说明的是,本申请对网络设备和中继设备、中继设备和网络设备之间的链路名称、以及中继设备和终端设备之间的链路名称不进行限定。网络设备还可以称为“供体网络设备”或“宿主网络设备”或“宿主基站”或“中继设备”。其中,宿主基站可以是一个具有完整基站功能的接入网网元,还可以是集中式单元CU和分布式单元DU分离形态的接入网网元。
在本申请实施例中,网络设备可以是IAB节点,或用于中继通信的节点。中继设备可以部署在相比在终端设备离基站或接入设备更远的地方,该接入设备可以是另一个中继设备。另外,中继设备的名称可以是中继节点(relaying node,RN),中继传输接收点(relaying transmission and reception point,rTRP),或者集成接入和回传节点(integrated access and backhaul node,IAB node),中继节点的上级节点可以是gNB(包括gNB-DU,gNB-CU等),也可以是另一个中继节点。
应理解,本申请适用于具有中继节点的无线通信系统。尽管图1给出的是中继设备通过无线空口直接连接到网络设备,但是IAB中继系统可以支持多级中继,即IAB节点可以与一个或多个上级节点建立无线回传链路,并通过该一个或多个上级节点接入宿主基站。同样的,一个IAB节点还可以为一个或多个下级节点提供服务。宿主基站可以与IAB节点1通信,也可以直接与用户设备UE1通信;同样地,IAB节点1可以与IAB节点2通信,也可以与用户设备UE2通信等。
图2是适用本申请的网络架构的另一例示意图,如图2所示,宿主基站从功能、逻辑上可以进一步划分为CU与DU,IAB节点内部从功能、逻辑上可以进一步划分为移动终端(mobile-termination,MT)模块和分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)模块。
MT功能被定义为类似UE的一个组件。在IAB中,MT被称为驻留在IAB节点上的功能。由于MT类似一个普通UE的功能,那么可以理解为IAB节点通过MT接入到上级节点或网络。
DU功能是相对于CU功能而言的。在5G NR中,基站功能被分为两部分,称为CU-DU分离。从协议栈角度,CU包括了原LTE基站的无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)层和分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层,DU包括了无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层和物理(physical,PHY)层。在普通5G基站部署中,CU与DU物理上可以通过光纤连接,逻辑上存在一个专门定义的F1接口,用于CU与DU之间进行通信。从功能的角度,CU主要负责处理非实时协议和服务,如无线资源控制与配置,跨小区移动性管理,承载管理等;DU主要负责处理物理层协议和实时服务,如调度,物理信号生成与发送。这些协议层的功能可以由一个节点实现,或者可以由多个节点实现;例如,在一种演进结构中,RAN设备可以包括集中单元CU和分布单元DU,多个DU可以由一个CU集中控制。
示例性的,CU与DU之间进行下行传输,CU生成的F1-AP数据包被封装成IP包,在空口多跳节点(例如,IAB节点1和IAB节点2)之间传递。数据包到达目标IAB节点 后,在目标IAB的MT模块适配层处理后,将数据包转给本地IAB的DU模块进行处理,最终在DU解析到F1-AP数据包。
在以上网络架构中,CU产生的信令可以通过DU发送给终端设备,或者终端设备产生的信令可以通过DU发送给CU。DU可以不对该信令进行解析而直接通过协议层封装而透传给终端设备或CU。
图3是适用本申请的接入回传一体化IAB节点结构的一例示意图,如图3所示,IAB节点可以分为MT模块和DU模块,其中,可以将IAB节点作为执行终端设备的功能称为移动终端MT侧或MT功能模块,即IAB节点通过MT与上级节点进行通信;将IAB节点作为类似基站的接入网设备称为分布式单元DU侧或DU功能模块,即IAB节点通过DU与下级节点和UE进行通信。IAB节点的MT与DU均具有完整的收发模块,且两者之间具有接口。
需要说明的是,MT与DU为逻辑模块,在实际中,两者可以共享部分子模块,例如可共用收发天线,基带处理模块等。
在通信过程中,IAB节点的回传链路与接入链路的空口资源需要由宿主基站或者上级节点进行配置。IAB节点的资源配置可以包括MT资源配置和DU资源配置。其中,MT资源配置用于指示IAB节点的MT与上级节点进行通信时的资源配置,IAB节点的MT资源可被配置为上行(uplink,UL)、下行(downlink,DL)、灵活(flexible,F)三种类型。DU资源配置用于指示IAB节点的DU与下级节点进行通信时的资源配置,IAB节点的DU资源可被配置为上行(uplink,UL)、下行(downlink,DL)、灵活(flexible,F)三种类型。IAB节点的DU资源配置由上级节点或宿主基站通过接口信令进行指示。
应理解,上述通信系统和网络架构仅是示例性说明,是为了更加清楚的说明本申请实施例的技术方案,并不构成对于本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题同样适用。例如,通信系统还可以包括核心网设备,核心网设备可以与多个接入网设备连接,用于控制接入网设备,并且,可以将从网络侧(例如,互联网)接收到的数据分发至接入网设备。
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;或者是可用于终端设备或网络设备的部件(例如芯片或者电路)。
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。
为了描述方便,下面首先对本申请实施例涉及的术语进行说明。
1、保护带:指MT和DU在频域资源的使用中,预留的部分带宽资源。即MT和DU在该带宽资源上既不发送信号,也不接收信号,这样可以避免MT和DU之间的相关干扰。
2、定时模式:指在协议中针对不同的传输模式,定义的不同的传输定时方案,包括下面三种不同的定时类型。
示例性的,在时分复用(time division multiplexing,TDM)模式中使用标准中的定时类型1:case #1 timing,即DU的发送时间。应理解,IAB节点的MT根据上级节点的定时提前量(timing advance,TA)指示信息,确定上行传输定时。IAB节点的DU的下行发送定时,在不同的节点的DU之间对齐。也就是说,case #1 timing定时模式要求IAB节点DU的发送时间与其他节点包括宿主节点donor相同,满足TDD系统的站间同步要求。
示例性的,定时类型2:case #6 timing定时模式用于空分发送。应理解,IAB节点的MT的上行发送定时与IAB节点的DU的下行发送定时需要对齐。
示例性的,定时类型3:case #7 timing定时模式用于空分接收,还有可能用于上行全双工。应理解,IAB节点的MT的上行接收定时与IAB节点的DU的下行接收定时需要对齐。
需要说明的是,IAB节点的DU和MT实现空分复用是指:DU进行下行发送时,MT进行上行发送。DU进行上行接收时,MT进行下行接收。换句话说,DU进行下行发送时,MT进行上行发送,可以简述为IAB节点同时发送的空分复用场景;DU进行上行接收时,MT进行下行接收,可以简述为IAB节点同时接收的空分复用场景。
进一步地,上述定时类型1可以适用于IAB节点的MT和DU时分复用的情况;上述定时类型2可以适用于IAB节点同时发送的空分复用场景;上述定时类型3可以适用于IAB节点同时接收的空分复用场景。
综上所述,上述三种定时类型,规定了IAB节点的MT的上行传输定时的确定规则。其中,在定时类型2和定时类型3中,MT的上行传输定时均与DU的下行传输定时有关。应理解,在本申请实施例中,DU的下行传输定时可以根据任意方法确定。例如,结合定时类型1,DU的下行传输定时可以与IAB宿主节点的下行传输定时对齐。具体地,DU的下行传输定时可以基于空口同步信令(over-the-air synchronization,OTA synchronization)由上级节点进行指示与调整,或者DU的下行传输定时可以基于全球定位系统(global positioning system,GPS)获取,或者根据全球导航卫星系统(global navigation satellite system,GNSS)或北斗等其他支持授时的系统获取。
所以,不同的定时模式即隐式地表征了传输模式,其所需要的保护带大小也就可能不同。例如,全双工一般相比于空分复用,需要更多的保护带。
3、频分复用的约束定时模式:一般在空分发送或空分接收时,为了增加MT与DU的隔离度,会采用频分复用。
示例性的,一般考虑可以在采用上述定时模式case #6 timing和定时模式case #7 timing时进行频分复用。
4、上级节点:在上行传输时,接收数据或信号的节点,或者下行传输时发送数据或信号的节点;把提供无线回传链路资源的节点、网络设备,称为中继设备的上级点。
5、下级节点:在上行传输时,发送数据或信号的节点,或者下行传输时接收数据或信号的节点;把使用回传链路资源向网络进行数据传输,或者接收来自网络的数据的节点 称为下级节点,例如,中继设备称为网络设备的下级节点,网络为核心网或者其他接入网之上的网络,如因特网,专网等。
6、接入链路:接入链路是指某个节点和它的下级节点进行通信时所使用的无线链路,包括上行传输和下行传输的链路。接入链路上的上行传输也被称为接入链路的上行传输,下行传输也被称为接入链路的下行传输。其中的节点包括但不限于前述IAB节点。
7、回传链路:回传链路是指某个节点和它的上级节点和/或下级节点进行通信时所使用的无线链路,包括上行传输和下行传输的链路。回传链路上的上行传输也被称为回传链路的上行传输,下行传输也被称为回传链路的下行传输。其中的节点包括但不限于前述IAB节点。
8、空分复用(spatial duplex multiplexing,SDM):空分复用可以理解为让同一频段在不同的空间内得到重复利用,利用多路空间上的正交信道来同时传输信号达到扩容的目的。简单来说。就是同时从多个方向接收信号,为了提高频谱效率,空分复用场景被广泛应用。
9、时分复用(time division multiplexing,TDM):时分复用可以理解为采用统一物理连接的不同时段来传输不同的信号,达到多路传输的目的。时分多路复用以时间作为信号分割的参量,故必须使各路信号在时间轴上互不重叠。换句话说,就是将提供给整个信道传输信息的时间划分为若干时隙,将这些时隙分配给每一信号源使用。
10、频分复用(frequency division multiplexing,FDM):频分复用可以理解为将用于传输信道的总带宽划分为若干个子频带(子信道),每个子信道传输一路信号,各子信道之间设立保护带进行隔离,使得传输的信号互不干扰,个子信道传输的信号以并行的方式工作。
11、时分资源和频分资源:时分资源是指对于一个DU cell的一个时隙或符号,其所有的频域资源配置相同的资源类型(H/S/NA)。频分资源是指对于一个DU cell的一个时隙或符号,其频域资源被进一步分为多个RB set,或RB set group。其中,对于每一个RB set,或RB set group可以分别配置或指示资源类型(H/S/NA)。
12、资源可用性指示:资源可用性指示可以由宿主基站配置给IAB MT,用于时域动态指示soft资源的可用性。例如,在3GPP Rel-16中,宿主基站通过RRC信令承载AvailabilityCombinationsPerCell信元,对IAB MT的soft时域资源可用性进行配置,其具体实现方式如下:
Figure PCTCN2022085193-appb-000001
Figure PCTCN2022085193-appb-000002
其中,AvailabilityCombinationsPerCell用于配置IAB DU cell的soft时域资源可用性指示。availabilityCombinationsPerCell包括DU cell ID,以及DCI信令中比特的起始位置。例如,DCI信令中比特的起始位置为第3个位置,则说明IAB MT接收到的DCI 2_5信令中的第三个比特所指示的Value值是该DU cell的soft时域资源的可用性。
具体的,AvailabilityCombinationsPerCell还包括多个AvailabilityCombination-r16,每个AvailabilityCombination-r16包括一个ID,DCI中指示的是一个或多个该ID。每个availabilityCombinationId-r16对应一个resourceAvailability-r16配置,每个resourceAvailability-r16包括取值0~7的序列,每个取值表示一个soft时隙的资源可用性指示。0~7取值的含义对应3GPP标准协议TS 38.213v16.8.0的表格,具体参见下表4所示的资源可用性指示Value与时隙中soft资源可用性类型指示之间的映射关系。
图4是适用本申请的空分复用场景的一例示意图,如图4所示的IAB系统包括宿主基站,IAB节点1,IAB节点2,UE1和UE2。其中,IAB节点2为IAB节点1的子节点,该IAB节点2可以包括但不限于IAB节点、特殊的终端设备。可选的,特殊的终端设备可以是支持特定NR协议版本的终端设备,例如,支持NR Release 16/17的终端设备。
在IAB场景中,与上级节点通信的链路一般称为回传链路;与用户设备UE通信的链路一般被称为接入链路。也就是说,节点之间的传输可以理解为回传链路,涉及用户设备的传输可以理解为接入链路。图中箭头表示IAB的空分接收场景,即IAB节点1可以同时接收回传链路上宿主基站发送的下行信号,接收子节点IAB节点2发送的上/下行信号,以及接收接入链路上用户设备UE发送的下行信号。应理解,若将图中箭头方向都翻转,则表示IAB的空分发送场景,即IAB节点1可以同时向宿主基站发送上行信号,向子节点IAB节点2发送上/下行信号,以及向用户设备UE2发送下行信号。
示例性的,宿主基站和IAB节点1之间的链路,以及IAB节点1和IAB节点2之间的链路为回传链路。UE1和宿主基站之间的链路以及UE2和IAB节点1之间的链路为接入链路。
需要说明的是,在IAB场景中的频分复用主要指IAB的MT模块和IAB的DU模块之间的频分复用。即IAB MT和IAB DU使用不同频域上的资源。由于MT和DU使用的是频分资源,两者收发信号之间的相互影响会被降低。
应理解,MT模块和DU模块的“同时工作”具体包括:IAB MT和IAB DU的接收与发送,两两组合共4种场景,即MT和DU可以同时接收信号,或者同时发送信号,或者MT接收信号时DU发送信号,或者MT发送信号时DU接收信号,具体场景支持与否依赖于设备的硬件实现。这里“同时工作”是指对于MT模块/DU模块来说,可以同时接收/发送两个方向的信号,并非是在同一时间既接收第一信号,又发送第二信号。
除此之外,在IAB语境中,频分复用还可以包括双连接场景的频分复用。示例性的,IAB节点(MT)将与两个设备同时建立连接,即IAB拥有两个上级节点进行回传。当两个上级节点在频域上使用不同频域资源与IAB通信时,也可以被称为频分复用。
图5是适用本申请的频分复用场景的一例示意图,如图5所示,IAB MT与IAB DU之间进行频分复用,二者通过保护带进行隔离。示例性的,假设频域资源共有200M带宽,MT可以占用100M频域资源与上级节点通信,DU可以占用另外100M频域资源与UE或下级IAB节点通信。
图6是适用本申请的频分复用场景的另一例示意图,如图6所示,IAB MT1与IAB MT2之间进行频分复用,二者通过保护带进行隔离。其中,MT可以同时与多个上级节点连接,即IAB MT在回传链路与两个上级节点频分资源,两个上级节点可以同时调度MT传输。示例性的,假设频域资源共有200M带宽,IAB MT1可以占用100M频域资源与上级节点#1通信,IAB MT2可以占用另外100M频域资源与下级IAB节点#2通信。
需要说明的是,IAB MT模块与IAB DU模块使用的是时分资源,二者在不同的正交频分复用技术(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,OFDM)符号上传输资源,可以理解为IAB MT1和IAB MT2在第一时刻传输信号,IAB DU在第二时刻传输信号。
总之,不论是在本申请中频分图案pattern配置的方案中,还是按照上述可能的实现方式中半静态的配置频域资源分段的方案,或者是按照目前技术中涉及的配置多个频域资源块组RBG的方案中,都需要考虑MT与DU之间的保护带(guard band)。对于保护带的大小的约束条件可以通过协议定义,或者是IAB节点向宿主基站上报。具体地,在频分(或频分图案)配置时,对于确定保护带的大小的约束条件,可以从以下方面考虑:
(1)示例性的,保护带与DU或者MT带宽的关系。
例如,当DU cell带宽大于或等于X1RB,或MT CC的带宽大于或等于Y1RB时,那么保护带至少需要Z1RB;再例如,当DU cell带宽大于或等于X2RB,或MT CC的带宽大于或等于Y2RB时,保护带至少需要Z2RB。对于DU cell、MT CC和保护带之间所需要的RB大小,本申请不作具体限定。
需要说明的是,IAB节点上报信令可以采用以下形式:
例如,上报DU cell #1和MT serving cell #1(CC为分量载波,在高层信令配置中体现为服务小区)频分复用时的保护带要求,包括DU的小区标识,MT的服务小区标识,以及至少一个条件。该条件还包括DU的频域带宽配置,MT的频域带宽配置,和至少需要的保护带带宽。其中,频域带宽配置包括以下一种或多种:频域RB数、频域RBG数、频域RB数的范围、频域RBG数的范围、起始频点、结束频点、频域RE数、频域RE数 的范围、子载波间隔等。
例如,信令可以包括但不限于以下的形式:
{DU cell ID:A,
MT cell ID:B,
条件1:X1<DU RB数<X2,Y1<MT RB数<Y2,保护带>=Z
条件2:……
……
}
(2)示例性的,保护带与传输定时模式之间的关系。
例如,当IAB采用case 6定时模式工作时,需要在频分后的MT或者DU资源上预留X RB的保护带;再例如,当IAB采用case 7定时模式工作时,需要在频分后的MT或者DU资源上预留Y RB的保护带;又例如,当IAB MT接收的同时DU进行发送,或者当IAB MT发送的同时DU进行接收,需要在频分后的MT或者DU资源上预留Z RB的保护带。其中,本申请对X RB、Y RB、Z RB的大小不作具体限定。
需要说明的是,上述定时类型2:case 6可以替换一种在协议里的描述为IAB MT发送的同时,DU进行发送;上述定时类型3:case 7可以替换一种在协议里的描述为IAB MT接收的同时,DU进行接收。
(3)示例性的,保护带与同步状态之间的关系。
例如,当MT与DU的时间对齐时,或者说两者的传输定时偏差小于X1时,需要的保护带为Y1RB。这种情况下,DU和MT之间不会有载波间干扰,二者之间的保护带会比较小,即Y1比较小;再例如,当MT与DU的时间没有完全对齐时,或者说两者的传输定时偏差大于X2时,需要的保护带为Y2RB,相比Y1,Y2可以略大一些。其中X1,X2的单位可以是毫秒,微秒,纳秒,或者Ts(协议中的任意一种时间单位)等。
需要说明的是,IAB向宿主基站上报,可以发生在宿主基站向IAB发送频分配置之前,也可以发生在宿主基站向IAB发送频分配置之后。对于发生在宿主基站向IAB发送频分配置之后的情况,可以理解为宿主基站先配置了一套配置下来,IAB收到后发现保护带不满足要求或不符合其硬件能力,所以才触发了IAB上报这些约束约束条件,宿主基站会基于该约束条件重新进行频分(或频分图案)的配置。
另外,在本申请实施例中,可以通过协议定义频分(或频分图案)的配置约束条件,或者IAB节点向宿主基站上报频分(或频分图案)的配置约束条件,宿主基站再根据该约束条件进行频分(或频分图案)的配置。
示例性的,DU cell频分后的可用资源可以包括以下情况的一种或多种:
(1)包括DU cell的最低频点的RB;
(2)包括DU cell的最高频点的RB;
(3)包括DU cell的最低频点开始的,连续X个RB;
(4)包括DU cell的最高频点往下的,连续X个RB;
(5)DU cell频分后至少有连续的X个RB或RE可用(X为正整数);
(6)DU cell频分后至少包括初始部分带宽(initial BWP):
示例性的,初始部分带宽可以是初始上行部分带宽UL BWP;或者,初始部分带宽也 可以是初始下行部分带宽DL BWP;或者,初始部分带宽也可以是DL BWP或UL BWP中较大的一个,或者较小的一个;
(7)DU cell频分后,不能有不连续的频域资源;
(8)DU cell频分后,最多被分成X段连续的频域资源;
示例性的,这里X的取值与DU cell的带宽有关;例如,带宽为100M可以分为2段频域资源;带宽为200M可以分为连续的4段频域资源等。
(9)DU cell频分后至少包括单边带(Single Side Band,SSB)的带宽;
(10)DU cell频分后至少包括物理随机接入信道(physical random access channel,PRACH)资源的带宽;
(11)DU cell频分后至少包括公共上行控制物理信道(common physical uplink control channel,common PUCCH)资源所占用的带宽;
(12)DU cell频分后至少包括控制资源集合(control resource set#0,CORESET 0)#0的带宽;
(13)DU cell频分后至少包括系统消息块1(system information block #1,SIB 1)所占用的带宽。
应理解,上述情况仅是示例性说明,不应该对本申请的方案构成任何限定。
随着移动通信技术的不断发展,频谱资源日趋紧张。为了提高频谱利用率,未来的基站部署将会更加密集。此外,密集部署还可以避免覆盖空洞的出现。在传统蜂窝网络架构下,基站通过光纤与核心网建立连接。然而在很多场景下,光纤的部署成本非常高昂。无线中继节点RN通过无线回传链路与核心网建立连接,可以节省部分光纤部署成本。
一般情况下,中继节点与一个或多个上级节点建立无线回传链路,并通过上级节点接入核心网。上级节点可以通过多种信令对中继节点进行一定的控制(例如,数据调度、定时调制、功率控制等)。同时,中继节点也可以为多个下级节点提供服务。中继节点的上级节点可以是基站,也可以是另一个中继节点;中继节点的下级节点可以是UE,也可以是另一个中继节点。在某些情形下,上级节点也可以称为上游节点,下级节点也可以称为下游节点。
带内中继是回传链路与接入链路共享相同频段的中继方案,由于没有使用额外的频谱资源,带内中继具有频谱效率高及部署成本低等优点。带内中继一般具有半双工的约束,具体地,中继节点在接收其上级节点发送的下行信号时,不能向其下级节点发送下行信号,而中继节点在接收其下级节点发送的上行信号时,不能向其上级节点发送上行信号。NR的带内中继方案被称为接入回传一体化(integrated access and backhaul,IAB),而中继节点被称为IAB节点。
在IAB节点正常工作时,接入链路与回传链路以时分,空分或频分的方式进行资源复用。示例性的,以时分复用TDM场景为例,回传链路与接入链路在不同的时刻工作,因此IAB节点需要在回传链路的收发与接入链路的收发之间切换。当回传与接入链路无间隔切换时,即接入链路符号与回传链路符号连续时,IAB节点具有最高的资源利用率。然而,由于功放的开关时间、传输距离、非理想同步等各种因素,回传链路与接入链路不能实现无间隔切换。此时,IAB节点需要确定回传链路和接入链路中可用和/或不可用符号的集合。
下面首先将协议中与本申请实施例相关的技术方案进行说明。
图7是当前协议Re-16支持的DU时域资源配置下的资源利用的一例示意图,如图7所示,横纵坐标分别表示时间和频率,即时域资源和频域资源。对于整个小区,也就是小区全局标识(cell global ID,CGI)1,分别配置时域H、S、S、NA资源。
需要说明的是,时域的hard(H)资源为DU一定可用的资源,MT一般不会使用该时域资源进行通信;时域的not available(NA)资源为DU不可用的资源,MT可以使用该时域资源进行通信;时域的soft(S)资源为DU是否可用主要依赖于上级节点的进一步指示。
示例性的,横坐标可以看作是该小区四个不同的时域资源的配置情况,即DU cell的第一时域资源是一定可用的,第二、三时域资源是否可用依赖于上级节点的指示,第四时隙资源是不可用的。应理解,MT只有上行/下行传输方向的配置,没有配置H/S/NA资源。因为上级节点知道下级节点的资源配置情况,所以为了避免MT与DU冲突,上级节点就不在第一时域资源对MT进行调度,上级节点DU向下级节点发送下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)信令,来进一步指示DU在第二、三时域资源是否可用,针对第四时域资源,MT可以根据传输需求选择调度或者不调度。
图8是当前协议Rel-17支持的DU时域资源配置下的资源利用的另一例示意图,如图8所示,横纵坐标分别表示时间和频率,即时域资源和频域资源。该方案是先在频域上把原来的整个小区带宽分为多份,带宽大小可以不同,也就是将频域资源分割(例如,资源块组1和资源块组2),细化成频域资源块组RBG的粒度;再在每份更小的频域粒度上分别配置时域H/S/NA。
示例性的,横坐标可以看作是该小区四个不同的时隙资源的配置情况,对于资源块组1来说,第一时域资源是一定可用的,第二、三时域资源是否可用依赖于上级节点的指示,第四时域资源是不可用的;对于资源块组2来说,第一、二时域资源是一定可用的,第三时域资源是否可用依赖于上级节点的指示,第四时域资源是不可用的。
需要说明的是,该方案只需要对时域S资源进行指示,频域S资源转化/等效为时域在RBG上的S资源,可以不需要再定义与指示该频域S资源,也就是说可以重用当前针对时域S资源的物理层DCI信令,对DU频域S资源是否可用进行指示。
应理解,上述图7所示的时域资源配置方案针对的是DU的某一小区,而该实现方式则是针对DU的某一小区上的某一段频域资源,即将原来DU小区的资源类型进一步细化为RBG的粒度。另外,该实现方式并不是真正意义上的动态频分,没有“动态”的频域资源,频域上的部分资源是否可用不是依赖于物理层的信令指示,而是基于原有动态时分的框架,在半静态的频域资源划分的基础上实现的动态频分,物理层信令仅指示时域资源是否可用。换句话说,半静态的频域资源划分是指整个小区的频域资源是已经固定的,并不能真正意义上的指示下级节点某一时隙的某一部分频域资源是否可用,而是指示下级节点某一频域资源块组在某一时隙上是否可用。
图9是当前协议Rel-17支持的DU时域资源配置下的资源利用的又一例示意图,如图9所示,横纵坐标分别表示时间和频率,即时域资源和频域资源。先配置时域资源H/S/NA,对应上述图7所示的方案,在此基础上,再在频域上配置H/S/NA,例如将频域资源分割(例如,资源块组1、资源块组2和资源块组3),细化成资源块组RBG的粒度;再在每 份更小的频域粒度上分别配置频域H/S/NA。所以频域资源H/S/NA可能会覆盖时域资源H/S/NA。
示例性的,横坐标可以看作是该小区四个不同的时隙资源的配置情况,通过时域和频域资源H/S/NA配置后,对于资源块组1来说,第一时域资源H被频域资源NA覆盖,由时域资源一定可用变成频域资源不可用;第二时域资源S被频域资源H覆盖,由时域资源是否可用依赖于上级节点的指示变成频域一定可用;对于资源块组2来说,第三时域资源S被频域资源NA覆盖,由时域资源是否可用依赖于上级节点的指示变成频域不可用等。
需要说明的是,上述图8所示的频域资源配置方案没有频域S资源,频域上的部分资源是否可用不依赖于物理层的信令指示,而图9所示的实现方式需要定义并指示DU频域的H/S/NA资源,因此频域资源配置可以覆盖时域配置。
应理解,图8和图9所述的方案都是将原来DU小区的资源类型进一步细化为RBG的粒度,针对DU的cell上的某一段频域资源,即隐式默认配置频分复用,每一时隙都要分别配置多次H/S/NA。虽然可以通过将同一时隙或符号上的多个资源块组RBG配置为NA/H来实现时分,但是若系统大部分时候不需要进行空分复用或频分复用,上述配置方案针对每一个RBG进行H/S/NA配置,则显得冗余复杂;对于不频分的S资源,则需要进一步信令指示,使得DCI信令开销大。另外,在实际应用中,频分配置与指示不需要过于灵活,频分资源是否支持情况与设备硬件实现等方面有关,过于灵活的频分配置和动态指示S资源是否可用将增加不必要的开销。
综上所述,若系统大部分时候不进行资源时分复用或频分复用,如何降低信令开销,特别是配置开销和动态指示S资源的开销是亟待解决的问题。而且,不同于时域资源固定按时隙划分,频域资源的划分相对比较灵活,如何避免频域资源由于过于灵活的配置,造成配置复杂冗余、开销过大的问题也是亟待解决的问题。
应理解,如果频分复用的资源配置过于灵活,可能会导致以下几方面潜在的问题:
首先,可变带宽可能会导致UE对周期性参考信号测量困难,例如,追踪参考信号(tracking refernece signal,TRS)。TRS可以用于时间和频率偏移跟踪,可以以周期性或非周期性方式传输。当以非周期性方式传输TRS时,可以识别其准共位(quasico-location,QCL)信息。
需要说明的是,TRS一般通过大带宽传输,UE测量TRS作为数据解调的QCL Type-A参考源;其中,QCL-TypeA的配置为:{多普勒偏移、多普勒扩展、平均延迟、延迟扩展};另外,MT与DU频分,导致DU小区带宽发生变化,周期性TRS带宽也发生变化,将对UE造成影响,因为UE的TRS资源是半静态配置的,一般需要大带宽;同样地,还需要考虑对单边带SSB等信号的影响,因为SSB作为小区级信号,必须保证DU cell可以在相应带宽资源上发送该SSB。
其次,可变带宽导致DU对接收UE发送的上行信道探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS),物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)等信号造成影响。
需要说明的是,UE发送PUCCH和SRS往往需要跳频,用于提升UE发送功率,并利用信道多样性来改善其上行覆盖性能;另外,SRS和PUCCH发送的跳频和频域资源均为半静态配置,即CU通过RRC信令为UE配置;而且,频分可能导致DU在UE发送 SRS和PUCCH的资源上无法进行接收信号;如果一开始就给UE按照DU在频分后(窄带的)的频域资源配置PUCCH和SRS,那么会明显影响UE的上行覆盖性能。
总而言之,需要对频分复用的资源分配进行约束,当频分不太灵活时,网络(IAB和宿主基站)至少可以按照频分和不频分这两种方式对DU cell的可用带宽进行处理,半静态地为UE配置适配的几种带宽下的CORESET,PUCCH,TRS,SRS等信号与信道资源,例如,两三种比较少的带宽,避免由于信令开销太大,且UE不支持保存太多的资源配置而影响正常的通信,降低系统性能。
基于此,本申请提供了一种IAB资源频分与指示的方法,基于预定义的频分资源图案pattern,配置部分非TDM时隙上的频域资源的具体分配;并且基于新设计的动态信令,指示每个非TDM时隙上部分或全部资源是否可用。该方案能够实现在部分或全部时域资源上配置与指示预定义和配置的频分资源。通过预配置频域图案pattern,避免了每个FDM时隙上去差异化的配置与指示DU可用的频域资源RBG,而且降低了资源配置的复杂度以及信令的开销。
下面结合附图对本申请实施例中无线通信方法进行详细说明。
图10是适用本申请实施例的IAB资源频分与指示方法的一例示意图,具体实现步骤1000包括:
S1010,网络设备(例如,宿主基站)向第一节点(例如,第一IAB节点)和/或终端设备(例如,UE)发送第一信息;对应的,第一节点接收来自网络设备的第一信息。
其中,该第一信息包括第一图案的指示信息,该第一图案是多个图案中的一个,该多个图案中的每个图案用于指示至少一种资源在频域上的分布,该至少一种资源包括以下资源中的至少一种:第一资源、第二资源、第三资源,该第一资源是一定可用的资源,该第二资源是不可用的资源,该第三资源是否可用由第一指示信息确定,该第一指示信息是第一网络设备发送的,其中,任意两个图案所指示的资源分布不同。
一种可能的实现方式,针对第三资源的可用性,当该第一网络设备不发送该第一指示信息时,默认DU cell不可用该第三资源。
示例性的,该第一资源、第二资源、第三资源是否可用可以是针对第一节点的分布式单元DU的小区cell进行配置的,或者是针对第一节点的分布式单元的部分带宽BWP进行配置的,或者是针对第一节点的分布式单元DU的部分频域资源,例如频域资源块组RBG进行配置的,该第一网络设备是第一节点的的上级节点,该第二网络设备是第一节点的下级节点。
应理解,该多个图案可以是网络设备配置的,或者该多个图案可以是协议预定义的,本申请对此不作限定。
示例性的,该多个图案是宿主(donor)网络设备配置的,即接收宿主网络设备发送的一个或多个图案的配置信息。其中,该一个或多个图案的配置信息可以是宿主网络设备经过一次或多次进行配置的,本申请对此不作具体限定。
一种可能的实现方式,在宿主网络设备配置该多个图案之前,宿主网络设备接收来自第一节点发送的频分复用配置信息,该频分复用配置信息包括该多个图案配置的限制条件。
示例性的,协议定义的频域资源的图案可以指示多段频域资源的属性为H/S/NA,和/或协议定义多种长度的频域资源的图案。
作为示例而非限定,网络设备确定多个频域图案pattern,该第一资源可以为频域H资源(hard),说明DU cell一定可用的频域资源;第二资源可以为频域NA资源(not available),说明DU cell不可用的资源,说明是移动终端(mobile-termination,MT)可用的资源;第三资源可以为频域S资源(soft),说明DU cell是否可用该资源需要根据上级节点发送的指示信息确定。换句话说,每个图案指示的至少一种资源的频域资源属性(attribute)包括以下至少一种:H、S、NA。
在本申请实施例中,S资源是否可用在被进一步指示后,可以被确定为“可用”或“不可用”,或者可以被确定为“可用”或“不指示可用”。其中,是否可用的指示可以针对上行、下行、灵活三种TDD传输方向配置中的一种或多种进行配置。例如,通过信令指示S的上行资源指示可用,下行和灵活资源不指示可用等。
示例性的,当该至少一种资源是第一资源时,第一节点可以与终端设备和/或下级中继节点进行通信;当该至少一种资源是第二资源时,第一节点不可以与终端设备进行通信,第一节点可以与第一网络设备进行通信;该至少一种资源是第三资源时,第一节点需要根据第一网络设备的指示确定第三资源是否可用于与终端设备和/或下级中继节点进行通信。
一种可能的实现方式,该每个图案的配置包括:至少一种资源的频域资源带宽,其中,每个图案具有对应的图案标识信息,而且任意两个图案标识信息不同。
一种可能的实现方式,该每个图案的配置还包括至少一种资源的频域资源属性,该每一频域资源属性为该第一资源、该第二资源、该第三资源中的一种。
应理解,协议定义频域资源的图案可以指示多段频域资源的属性为H/S/NA,和/或协议定义多种长度的频域资源的图案。
示例性的,当第一节点的分布式单元DU的小区cell的频域资源被分为三段,即三个频域资源集合,每个集合包括连续的频域资源,则可以选择对应的频域资源分为三段的图案进行映射。
需要说明的是,对于频域资源划分的粒度与方式,可以是RBG,还可以是RB数,又可以是部分带宽BWP等,本申请不作具体限定。
可选地,当协议只定义了一种长度的频域资源图案,例如频域分为五段的图案,那么只需要映射每个图案中的前三个资源属性的资源,即每个图案的前三个资源属性对应每一段资源的可用性。
一种可能的实现方式,该频域资源带宽的配置包括:至少一种资源的起始资源块编号和至少一种资源的资源块数目。
示例性的,该频域资源带宽可以是网络设备配置的,或该频域资源带宽可以是协议预定义的,例如,DU可以基于cell实际使用的带宽,计算出实际指示的频域带宽。本申请对此不作限定。
例如,当第一节点的分布式单元DU的小区cell的频域资源被分为三段,即三个频域资源集合,每个集合包括连续的频域资源,则可以选择对应的频域资源分为三段的图案进行映射。
一种可能的实现方式,每个图案具有对应的图案标识信息,通过图案的标识可以确定对应的频域资源图案中每段资源的频域大小、以及每段资源对应的频域属性。
例如,当协议只定义了一种长度的频域资源图案,例如频域分为五段的图案,那么只 需要映射每个图案中的前三个资源属性的资源,即每个图案的前三个资源属性对应每一段资源的可用性。
再例如,每个图案具有对应的图案标识信息,通过图案的标识可以确定对应的频域资源图案中每段资源的频域大小、以及每段资源对应的频域属性。
又例如,基于频域资源起始与长度指示配置SLIV,通过协议预定义定义频域带宽资源的起始和持续长度,映射调度的频域资源的起始和结束频域资源的索引。即网络设备通过索引值可以确定对应的频域资源的起始资源块编号以及资源块的数目,从而配置频域H//S/NA的频域长度。
一种可能的实现方式,该第一信息包括至少一个图案集合的标识信息,该至少一个图案集合的标识信息用于确定至少一个目标图案集合,该至少一个目标图案集合包括该第一图案,其中,每个图案集合的配置包括该多个图案中的至少一个图案,该每个图案集合具有对应的图案集合标识信息,任意两个图案集合的标识信息不同。
其中,该第一信息用于指示该多个图案中的第一图案;应理解,该第一信息可以仅指示一个或多个图案,也可以指示一个或多个图案集合,本申请对此不作限定。
一种可能的实现方式,网络设备向第一节点和/或终端设备发送第三信息;对应的,第一节点和/或终端设备接收来自网络设备的第三信息。该第三信息用于配置至少一个第一时隙;在该至少一个第一时隙上映射至少一个第一图案。
示例性的,该第一时隙是第一时域周期内的时隙,或者该第一时隙是第一时域周期内时域资源为第四资源所对应的时隙,其中,该第一时域周期与该第一时域资源配置的周期对应,该第四资源是否可用由第二指示信息确定,该第二指示信息是该第一网络设备发送的。
可选地,该第一时隙还可以包括第一时域周期内的所有时隙。
应理解,这里第一时隙可以是非TDM时隙,或者直接称为FDM时隙,本申请对第一时隙的具体名称不作限定,该第一时隙仅仅是支持一种功能,即允许为部分时隙配置频分的资源配置。另外,本申请对支持该功能的第一时隙的数量也不作限定。
需要说明的是,第一时隙只是时间粒度的一种实现方式,在第一时段也可以确定第一符号等,本申请对具体的时间粒度不作限定。
示例性的,该第一周期可以与第一时段的时域资源H/S/NA配置的周期对应,或者可以单独配置一个周期,单位为时隙数,或绝对时间,又或者可以以一个系统帧为一个周期,本申请对该第一周期的确定方式不作限定。
一种可能的实现方式,根据子载波间隔确定该第一时段和/或该第一周期内的总时隙数;并根据该第一时隙的编号和/或该第一时隙的编号集合确定与该第一时隙对应的时隙数。
例如,DU根据时域资源H/S/NA配置周期,和该配置的子载波间隔,计算出该第一周期内的时隙数,在根据第一时隙的编号确定具体哪些时隙为非TDM时隙。
再例如,以DU的小区cell的初始部分带宽BWP的子载波间隔为参考,确定周期内的总时隙数。由于在一个给定的子载波间隔下,一个系统帧的总时隙数是固定的。
可选地,参考的子载波间隔可以是单独配置的,或者是参考其他当前协议在其他信令或其他应用场景中,已存在的子载波间隔的配置,本申请对此不作限定。
作为示例而非限定,在第一时隙上映射多个图案中的至少一个图案,也就是说,基于确定的多种频域图案,为第一时隙配置频域图案。
可选地,可以通过频域图案的编号进一步指示,或者是频域图案的标识信息。
其中,在映射频域资源H/S/NA时,频域图案的数目与第一时隙的数目之间不作限定。示例性的,该至少一个图案的数目与该第一时隙的数目相同;或者该至少一个图案的数目是该第一时隙的数目的正整数倍,此时频域图案的循环周期就是映射周期的正整数倍;或者该至少一个图案的数目小于该第一时隙的数目,此时未被配置频域图案的第一时隙就默认不进行频分,例如该第一时隙默认回退为TDM时隙。
可选地,在映射频域资源H/S/NA时,可以将不同的频域资源图案映射到该第一时隙上。例如,将频域H资源映射到第一时隙上,或者在该资源配置的基础上,再将频域资源NA映射到该第一时隙上,此时频域NA资源覆盖了频域H资源,即第一节点的DU在该第一时隙上的频域资源可用性从一定可用资源变成不可用资源。即在时域资源上映射频域资源中,可以将频域H/S/NA资源任意组合后映射到第一时隙。本申请对此不作限定,具体以网络设备与第一节点和/或终端设备之间的通信需求为准。
可选地,在映射频域资源H/S/NA时,可以在第一时隙映射频域资源H/S/NA中的任一资源;或者S+NA,即在第一时隙先映射S资源,再在该S资源上映射频域资源NA;或者S+H、H+NA、S+H+NA等,本申请对资源的映射方式不作限定。
可选地,在映射频域资源H/S/NA时,可以将同一频域资源,例如,频域H资源分别映射到不同的时域资源上,例如时域S、NA资源等,本申请对此不作限定。
一种可能的实现方式,网络设备向第一节点和/或终端设备发送第四信息;对应的,第一节点和/或终端设备接收来自网络设备的第四消息。其中,该第四信息用于指示第三资源的资源可用性;可选地,该第四信息还用于指示第四资源的资源可用性,即时域资源属性为S的资源。
换句话说,该第四信息可以用来指示时域S资源和频域S资源的资源可用性,和/或该第四信息可以用来指示第一时隙上频域S资源的资源可用性。

示例性的,通过发送物理层DCI信令,显隐式指示该至少一个频域资源组的资源可用性。例如,DCI信令通过0/1比特进行指示IAB DU的至少一个资源组的资源可用性。其中,0表示该频域资源组的资源不可用,或者表示该频域资源组的资源不指示可用,1表示该资源组的频域资源可用。或者,通过有无比特来隐式指示该至少一个资源组的资源可用性。例如,当与频域资源组对应的比特数值为1,表示该频域资源组的资源是可用的;反之,如果没有比特数值,则表示对应的频域资源组的资源不可用。如果本申请对此不作限定。
一种可能的实现方式,获取第一关系和/或第二关系,该第一关系表示第一参数和第一资源可用性的指示信息之间的对应关系,该第一关系用于指示第一时隙的资源可用性,即soft时隙的上行、下行、灵活资源的可用性;该第二关系用于表示第二参数和第二资源可用性的指示信息之间的对应关系,该第二关系用于指示第一时隙的频域资源的资源可用性,即soft时隙的上行、下行、灵活资源的H/S/NA的资源可用性;根据该第一关系和/或该第二关系确定第一图案。
应理解,该第一关系和该第二关系可以指示所有时域资源的可用性以及所有频域资源的可用性,和/或可以指示第一时隙,也就是需要频分复用的时隙的资源可用性,和/或可以指示第一时隙的频域资源的可用性等,本申请对此不作限定。

进一步地,根据该至少一个目标指示集合确定第三资源和/或第四资源的资源可用性。
S1020,根据该第一图案,网络设备与第一节点和/或终端设备进行通信。
其中,该第一节点为中继节点,应理解,本申请实施例适用于具有中继节点的无线通信系统。其中,该中继节点可以是IAB节点,或者还可以是终端设备,即具有无线中继功能的终端设备。特别地,在NR中,中继节点一般是IAB节点。
示例性的,在第一时域资源,根据该第一图案,网络设备与第一节点和/或终端设备进行通信。
应理解,这里第一时域资源可以理解为时间资源集合,该第一时域资源可以包括一个或多个时隙,该多个时隙可以是连续的时隙,或者是不连续的时隙。将该一个或多个时隙上映射第一图案,用于第一节点和第二网络设备和/或终端设备之间的通信。
可选地,在该第一时域资源的一个或多个时隙上可以映射不同的频域资源图案。
可选地,第一时域资源也可以包括一个或多个符号,对于时间粒度本申请不做限定。
示例性的,网络设备向第一节点和/或终端设备发送第二信息;对应的,第一节点和/或终端设备接收来自网络设备的第二信息。其中,第二信息用于指示该第一时域资源。
需要说明的是,本申请所涉及的指示信息、配置信息等承载方式可以是但不限于:无线资源控制信令、媒体接入控制MAC层信令和物理层PHY信令中的一种或者至少两种的组合。其中,无线资源控制信令包括:无线资源控制RRC信令;MAC层信令包括:MAC控制元素CE;物理层信令包括:下行控制信息DCI等。
根据本申请实施例的方案,提供了一种无线通信方法和装置,通过预定义和配置频分资源的图案,映射到需要进行频分复用的时域资源上,并进一步地通过信令指示每个频分时隙上部分或全部资源的可用性,能够实现对中继节点的资源配置。通过对频分复用的资源分配进行约束,即频分配置不过于灵活,使得网络(例如,宿主基站和IAB节点)至少可以按照频分和不频分两种方式对DU cell的可用带宽进行处理,半静态地为UE配置适配的几种带宽下的信号与信道资源等,进而降低信令开销,更有利于提升系统性能。
图11是适用本申请的IAB资源频分与指示方法的另一例示意图,主要是在部分时隙 上配置频域的H/S/NA,频域的H/S/NA是基于若干图案(pattern)进行配置的。如图11所示,实现步骤1100包括:
S1110,宿主基站(即,网络设备的一例)确定时域H/S/NA资源配置,并向第一IAB节点(即,第一节点的一例)的DU的每个cell发送时域H/S/NA资源配置;对应的,第一IAB节点接收来自宿主基站的时域H/S/NA资源配置。
示例性的,宿主基站的CU向DU发送信令,例如,高层信令RRC,用于指示小区时域资源的配置。具体的信令格式可以参照标准3GPP协议TS 38.473规定,此处不再赘述。因此,DU的每个小区会被配置时域的H资源,S资源(即,第四资源的一例),以及NA资源。第一节点的DU根据资源配置与下级节点(例如,终端设备)进行通信,例如,小区1的时域资源依次被配置为H、S、S、NA等。对应地,可以理解为DU的小区1的第一时域资源一定可用,第二、三时域资源是否可用依赖于上级节点的进一步指示,第四时域资源不可用,即第一IAB节点的DU在第四时域资源不能与下级节点和/或终端设备进行通信。
S1120,宿主基站确定至少一种频域资源H/S/NA的图案pattern。
在一种可能的实现方式中,基站配置或协议预定义一种或多种频域H/S/NA图案pattern。应理解,这里“一种”主要是允许通过信令新增一个配置,或修改其中一个配置,因此存在仅包含一种pattern的情况。
在本申请实施例中,频域资源包括可用资源(H)、非可用资源(NA)和待调度资源(S),(即,第一资源、第二资源、第三资源的一例)这里待调度资源表示资源是否可用依赖于上级节点的进一步指示。需要说明的是,在不强调其区别时,二者所要表达的含义是一致的。
图12示出了频域H/S/NA图案pattern配置的一例示意图,如图12所示,包括N种频域pattern,频域pattern 1可以看作是将一小区的频域资源划分为三段,依次表示频域资源不可用NA、是否可用依赖于上级节点的进一步指示S、一定可用H;频域pattern 2可以看作是将一小区的频域资源划分为四段,依次表示频域资源一定可用H、是否可用依赖于上级节点的进一步指示S、一定可用H、是否可用依赖于上级节点的进一步指示S;频域pattern N可以看作是将一小区的频域资源划分为两段,依次表示频域资源一定可用H、是否可用依赖于上级节点的进一步指示S等。
作为示例而非限定,定义多段频域资源的属性为hard(H),soft(S)或者not available(NA),具体每一段频域资源所指示的带宽,依赖于宿主基站的CU对DU的进一步配置。该配置针对的是DU的某一具体小区cell,即将一个小区的频域资源进一步细分。
示例性的,假设协议定义的频域资源的图案pattern可以指示5段资源的属性为H/S/NA,那么协议可以定义多种pattern组合,并为每一种进行编号标识。表1示出多种pattern组合,如表1所示,编号0代表的pattern图案H、H、S、NA、NA,说明该小区的频域资源被分成5段,依次是频域资源一定可用、一定可用、是否可用依赖于上级节点的进一步指示、不可用、不可用;或者,pattern可以指示5段资源的属性为H/NA,那么协议可以定义多种pattern组合,例如H、H、NA、NA、H,或者NA、H、H、H、H,或者H、H、H、H、H等。应理解,表1仅是示例性说明,实际可能有很多图案形式,在此不一一列举,不应对本申请方案构成任何限定。
可选地,协议可以定义多种长度的pattern。例如,频域资源可以进一步划分为6段、7段等不同长度的频域资源。
表1
编号 图案pattern
0 H、H、S、NA、NA
1 NA、S、H、S、H
2 S、S、S、H、NA
3 H、H、H、H、H
4 NA、NA、NA、NA、NA
...... ......
图13示出了小区频域分段的H/S/NA图案配置的一例示意图。如图13所示,将DU的小区cell分为三段,分别为X个资源块RB,Y个资源块RB和Z个资源块RB。示例性的,RB的配置可以从小区的最低频点开始计数的第一个RB开始,依次排列;也可以存在额外的配置信息,用于配置RB的起始位置物理资源块(physical resource block,PRB)编号。
也就是说,这三个RBG的配置可以是:RBG1为从DU cell起始频点开始计算的连续X个RB,RBG2为从RBG1最后一个RB后的第一个RB开始计算的连续Y个RB,RBG3为从RBG2最后一个RB后的第一个RB开始计算的连续Z个RB,本申请对每个资源块组的频域资源的大小不作限定。
那么针对图12所示的频域分段情况,可以选择对应频域分为三段的pattern。如果协议只定义了一种长度的频域pattern,则取每个pattern的前几个。示例性的,表1定义了5段频域pattern,如果DU的小区频域资源被划分为三段,则每个pattern的前三个资源属性对应每一段资源的可用性。
示例性的,在某一FDM时隙上指示采用表1中编号为1的pattern(NA、S、H、S、H),对应图12所示的频域分段情况,那么编号1中的前三个频域pattern的属性分别对应于该小区的前三段资源的可用性。最终得到的配置为:前X个RB为NA资源(DU不可用),接下来的Y个RB为S资源(DU是否可用依赖上级节点的进一步指示),最后Z个RB为H资源(DU一定可用)。
作为示例而非限定,定义多段频域资源的属性为hard(H),soft(S)或者not available(NA),具体每一段频域资源所指示的带宽由协议规定为一个参考值,IAB DU基于小区实际使用的带宽,计算出实际指示的带宽。
示例性的,协议规定的参考值以频域资源比例的形式确定,例如,规定pattren为H:S:NA=2:1:0,对应具有100Mhz的DU cell,则在该时隙上确定了100Mhz×2/(2+1)=66.7Mhz的hard资源,100Mhz×1/(2+1)=33.3Mhz的soft资源。再例如,规定pattren为NA:H=1:1,对应具有100Mhz的DU cell,则在该时隙上确定了100Mhz×1/2=50Mhz的NA资源,100Mhz×1/2=50Mhz的soft资源。或者,在一种可能的实现方式中,将上述100Mhz带宽替换为资源块RB数进行计算等。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,宿主基站配置频域资源H/S/NA的图案pattern。
需要说明的是,宿主基站可以实现任意形式的频域资源pattern配置,每个pattern可以用一个ID进行标识。Pattern配置包括每段资源的频域大小(即RB长度),以及每段 资源的属性。
示例性的,非TDM时隙的频域pattern配置如下所示,需要说明的是,协议中也可能用包含相同内容的其他方式进行实现。

在又一种可能的实现方式中,基站基于频域资源起始与长度指示配置(start and length indicator value,SLIV)对频域pattern进行配置。
示例性的,SLIV通过协议预定义表格,映射调度的时域资源的起始和结束时隙/符号的索引。同样地,在该实现方式中,通过定义频域带宽资源的起始和持续长度对频域pattern进行配置。需要说明的是,当一个资源类型,例如hard(H)存在两个SLIV值时,就是有两段。
表3示出的是频域资源的pattern配置信息,如表3所示,列举了部分索引以及其指示的带宽的组合。示例性的,索引1表示频域pattern为hard(H,频域资源一定可用)的资源长度为2,即包括2个资源块,资源起始的资源块编号为0;索引13表示频域pattern为soft(S,频域资源是否可用依赖于上级节点的进一步指示)的资源长度为6,即包括6个资源块,资源起始的资源块编号为1;索引18表示频域pattern为not available(NA,频域资源不可用)的资源长度为1,即仅有1个资源块,资源起始的资源块编号为2等。应理解,表3中的数值仅是示例,实际可能有很多种表格的定义形式,在此不一一列举,实际中并不限定其长度,起始编号以及对应索引的取值与取值范围,不应对本申请方案构成任何限定。
表3
Figure PCTCN2022085193-appb-000004
作为示例而非限定,当定义或者配置表3所示的资源起始、长度以及索引时,基站就能基于该索引配置资源起始和频域资源H/S/NA的长度,例如:
Hard:SLIV index X1,SLIV index X2,……
Soft:SLIV index Y1,SLIV index Y2,……
NA:SLIV index Z1,……
总之,通过这样的配置形式,基站就能实现任意长度的,连续或不连续的频域H/S/NA资源的配置。
可选地,宿主基站确定多个图案集合,每个图案集合的配置包括该多个图案中的至少 一个图案,其中,该每个图案集合具有对应的图案集合标识信息,任意两个图案集合标识信息不同;
S1130,宿主基站向第一IAB节点的DU的每个cell发送第一配置信息(即,第三信息的一例),该第一配置信息用于指示非TDM时隙(即,第一时隙的一例)的资源配置;对应的,第一IAB节点接收来自宿主基站的非TDM时隙的资源配置信息。
其中,非TDM时隙(或称为FDM时隙)仅仅是支持一个功能,该功能可以为部分时隙配置频分资源配置。应理解,只要支持该功能的时隙均在保护范围内,本申请对该时隙的名称不作具体限定。
一种可能的实现方式,在时域上,配置部分时隙为非TDM时隙。其中,对于TDM时隙,上述步骤S1110配置的时域H/S/NA资源仍然适用;对于非TDM时隙,则需要进一步根据频域资源H/S/NA pattern,确定其中每一段频域资源是否可用。
另一种可能的实现方式,可以配置在一个时域周期内的部分时隙,为非TDM时隙。
作为示例而非限定,可以与时域H/S/NA配置的周期绑定,即在该周期的内某些时隙为非TDM时隙。具体的,配置非TDM时隙的时隙编号,DU根据H/S/NA配置周期,和该配置的子载波间隔,计算出周期内的时隙数,在根据编号确定具体哪些时隙为非TDM时隙。
作为示例而非限定,单独配置一个周期,单位为时隙数,或绝对时间(例如秒,或毫秒),例如可以称之为频分复用传输周期(FDM transmission periodicity)或者非时分复用传输周期(non-TDM transmission periodicity)。
作为示例而非限定,以一个系统帧(10ms)为一个周期,配置直接指示其中部分时隙为非TDM时隙。由于在一个给定的子载波间隔下,系统帧内的总时隙数是固定的。因此,可以以DU的小区cell的初始部分带宽(bandwidth part,BWP)的子载波间隔作为参考,确定周期内的总时隙数。示例性的,在60kHz子载波间隔内,确定的系统帧内总时隙数为40个;在120kHz子载波间隔内,确定的系统帧总时隙数为80个等。此时,可以仅配置非TDM时隙的编号集合,例如集合{5,9,25,29}表示第5、9、25、29时隙为非TDM时隙。
可选地,参考的子载波间隔单独配置;或者参考其他当前协议在其他信令或其他应用场景中,已经存在的子载波间隔的配置,本申请对此不作限定。
又一种可能的实现方式,默认所有时域S(是否可用依赖于上级节点的进一步指示)时隙都是潜在的非TDM时隙。
S1140,在非TDM时隙上映射频域资源H/S/NA图案pattern(即,第一图案)。
可选地,宿主基站向第一IAB节点DU发送指示信息(即,第一信息的一例),该指示信息包括第一图案的指示信息,用于指示在该非TDM时隙上映射该第一图案;对应的,第一IAB节点接收来自宿主基站的指示信息。
示例性的,宿主基站向第一IAB节点发送F1-AP信令(即,第一信息的一例);对应的,第一IAB节点接收来自宿主基站的F1-AP信令。其中,该F1-AP信令用于指示对应一个时隙上应用多个图案中的第一图案。
在一种可能实现方式中,F1-AP信令可以一次性配置很多个时隙(非TDM时隙)的频域资源H/S/NA图案pattern,例如使用一条信令,配置一个配置周期内所有非TDM时 隙的频域资源H/S/NA图案pattern。
可选地,第一IAB节点接收DCI信令,该第三信息包括至少一个图案集合标识信息,该至少一个图案集合标识信息用于指示至少一个目标图案集合。
也就是说,基于步骤S1120中配置的多种频域pattern,宿主基站为第一IAB节点的DU的每个小区在周期内的每一个非TDM时隙(或统称为部分时隙),分别映射某一个频域pattern。进一步的,可以通过pattern编号进行指示(例如,pattern 1和pattern 2)。
在一种可能的实现方式中,宿主基站为一个周期的所有非TDM时隙都配置一个频域pattern。具体周期的确定的该方法步骤S1130已经说明,此处不再赘述。例如,一个配置周期内有4个非TDM时隙,则宿主基站可以配置4个pattern的编号。这四个编号所对应的频域pattern会被依次对应到周期内的4个非TDM时隙上。按照这个规则,在多个周期往复循环。
图14示出了在周期性的部分时隙映射频域H/S/NA图案的一例示意图。如图14所示,横纵坐标分别表示时间和频率,即时域资源和频域资源。对于整个小区,也就是小区全局标识(cell global ID,CGI)1,分别配置时域H、S、S、NA资源。
在DU的小区cell上,一个配置周期内默认有3个S资源为非TDM时隙,其中第一、二个非TDM时隙配置为频域pattern 1,可以看作是将频域资源细分为三段,对应的资源属性依次为NA、S、H;第3个非TDM时隙配置为频域pattern 2,可以看作是将频域资源细分为四段,对应的资源属性依次为H、S、H、NA。
可选地,宿主基站可以配置三个不同的pattern编号,例如pattern 1、pattern 2和pattern 3,则该3个非TDM时隙依次配置频域pattern 1、pattern 2和pattern 3等。需要说明的是,周期内配置的非TDM时隙映射的频域pattern可以相同,也可以不同,本申请对此不作限定。
应理解,对于配置非TDM的时隙,可以理解为将频域资源进一步细分为RBG粒度,针对的是每一段频域资源;对于未配置非TDM的时隙,则是针对DU的某个小区cell。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,允许宿主基站配置更多的pattern ID,pattern数目为一个周期内的非TDM时隙的整数倍。例如,一个配置周期内有4个非TDM时隙,则宿主基站配置8个pattern的编号,频域pattern的循环周期就是配置周期的两倍。
在又一种可能的实现方式中,宿主基站配置的pattern ID数目小于周期内的非TDM时隙数,此时没有被配置pattern ID的非TDM时隙默认回退为TDM时隙,也就是不进行资源频分。例如,一个配置周期内有3个非TDM时隙,宿主基站配置了2个patternID,那么只有前两个非TDM时隙可以配置频域pattern,第三个非TDM时隙则默认为不进行资源频分复用。
S1150,宿主基站向第一IAB节点发送物理层信令DCI(即,第四信息的一例),用于指示DU的soft(S)资源是否可用;对应的,第一IAB节点接收来自宿主基站的物理层信令DCI。
特别地,第一IAB节点的DU资源配置中的上行资源、下行资源、灵活资源。由于资源属性配置是逐资源类型进行的。一个符号的资源属性由以下条件确定:所属时隙的属性配置和该符号的资源类型。例如,一个时隙可具有如下TDD传输方向配置:{上行(uplink,UL)符号,下行(downlink,DL)符号,灵活(flexible)符号}。
宿主donor节点为IAB节点提供多套资源属性配置,而多套资源属性配置分别关联与多套资源配置。例如,donor节点为IAB节点提供第一资源属性配置和第二资源属性配置,该第一资源属性配置和第二资源属性配置分别与第一资源类型配置和第二资源类型配置相关联。若donor节点为IAB节点的上级节点提供了IAB节点DU的多套DU资源配置,则上级节点需要获知IAB节点的资源属性配置与资源类型配置的关联关系。该关联关系可以由donor节点为上级节点提供,也可以由IAB节点上报上级节点。
由于一个时隙中含有多个OFDM符号,每个OFDM符号可以用于上行,也可以用于下行,IAB节点DU的soft资源的可用性需要由上级节点指示,上级节点对soft资源可用性的指示也是逐时隙逐资源类型进行的。因此,宿主节点可以为IAB节点DU的一个时隙定义如下8种可用状态中的一个或多个,每种情况可以基于3个比特进行指示,用于指示一个时隙内所有或部分传输方向的符号可用,或者不指示可用(no indication of availablity)。需要说明的是,不指示可用不同于不可用,这里没有限制子节点IAB DU在该资源上不可用,协议的要求是IAB DU在该资源上的传输或不传输,不影响共站的IAB MT使用该资源。
具体地,表4(即,第一关系的一例)示出了资源可用性元素的值与时隙可用性类soft资源类型之间的映射关系,如表4所示,value值为0表示所有soft资源不指示可用;value值为3表示上行和下行资源指示可用,且灵活资源不指示可用等。
表4
Figure PCTCN2022085193-appb-000005
在本申请实施例中,可以继续使用表4所示的DCI信令对S资源进行指示。另外,还可以对其新增定义,即上述表4中已有的DCI信令用于指示非TDM时隙上频域S资源的可用性。应理解,协议对S符号或时隙的指示,对于整个带宽都生效。在本申请实施例中,对于部分存在频分的时隙或符号,上述可用性指示只对该时隙或符号中,频域上标识为S的资源生效。
综上所述,在上述实施例中,首先通过配置时域H/S/NA资源,再配置或预定义频域pattern的H/S/NA资源,在周期性的部分时隙上映射频域pattern,最后根据DCI信令对频域S资源是否可用进一步指示。主要区别体现在新增加的频域资源H/S/NA的pattern配置 和定义,以及通过协议规定的或新增的DCI信令指示频域的S资源是否可用。通过预定义频域pattern并指示的方法,避免了配置冗余复杂,降低信令开销。
图15是适用本申请的IAB资源频分与指示方法的又一例示意图,主要涉及对于部分进行频分的时隙,通过pattern动态指示具体频分资源的数量。该具体实现方式和上述实施例中方法1100的主要区别在于通过设计新的DCI信令,指示多个非TDM时隙的DU频域资源的可用性。需要说明的是,该方法1500可以用于上述方法1100的步骤S1150中对于S资源的动态指示,某种程度上两种方案可以叠加使用,本申请对此不作具体限定。如图15所示,实现步骤1500包括:
S1510,宿主基站(即,网络设备的一例)确定时域H/S/NA资源配置,并向第一IAB节点(即,第一节点的一例)的DU的每个小区cell发送时域H/S/NA资源配置;对应的,第一IAB节点接收来自宿主基站的时域H/S/NA资源配置。
示例性的,宿主基站的CU向DU发送信令,用于指示小区时域资源的配置。具体的信令格式可以参照标准3GPP协议TS 38.473规定,此处不再赘述。因此,DU的每个小区会被配置时域的H资源,S资源,以及NA资源。第一节点的DU根据资源配置与下级节点(例如,终端设备)进行通信,具体实现与上述方法1100中S1110类似,为了简洁,此处不再赘述。
S1520,宿主基站向第一IAB节点的DU的每个cell发送配置信息(即,第三信息的一例),该配置信息用于指示非TDM时隙(即,第一时隙的一例)的资源配置;对应的,第一IAB节点接收来自宿主基站的配置信息。
其中,非TDM时隙(或称为FDM时隙)仅仅是支持一个功能,该功能可以为部分时隙配置频分资源配置。应理解,只要支持该功能的时隙均在保护范围内,本申请对该时隙的名称不作具体限定。
一种可能的实现方式,在时域上配置部分时隙为非TDM时隙(slot)。其中,对于TDM时隙,上述步骤S1110配置的时域H/S/NA资源仍然适用;对于非TDM时隙,则需要进一步根据频域资源H/S/NA pattern,确定其中每一段频域资源是否可用。
另一种可能的实现方式,可以配置在一个时域周期内的部分时隙,为非TDM时隙。
示例性的,可以与时域H/S/NA配置的周期绑定,即在该周期的内某些时隙为非TDM时隙;或者,单独配置一个周期,单位为时隙数,或绝对时间(例如秒,或毫秒);又或者,以一个系统帧(10ms)为一个周期,配置直接指示其中部分时隙为非TDM时隙。
又一种可能的实现方式,默认所有时域S(是否可用依赖于上级节点的进一步指示)时隙都是潜在的非TDM时隙。
示例性的,图16示出的是部分时域资源配置为非TDM时隙(或FDM时隙)的一例示意图,如图16所示,时域上第2、3、9、10时隙别配置为FDM时隙。
上述几种可能的实现方式与上述方法1100中S1140类似,为了简洁,此处不再赘述。
S1530,宿主基站向第一IAB节点发送第二配置信息(即,第五信息的一例),该配置信息用于指示DU cell频域资源分段的配置;对应的,第一IAB节点接收来自宿主基站的频域资源分段的配置信息。
一种可能的实现方式,可以半静态地,将DU的小区cell的频域资源细分为多段。即通过高层信令(RRC或者F1-AP信令),对cell的频域资源进行分段。
进一步的,可以允许为每个需要进行频分复用的时隙或符号,配置不同的分段大小。
示例性的,图17示出的是对小区频分复用的时隙或符号进行频域分段的一例示意图,如图17所示,将cell频分时隙进行分段,例如频域资源划分为3段,分别是RBG 1、RBG 2和RBG 3,可选地,对于非频分时隙可以看做是同样分成了3段,也可以看做是没有分组,这并不会对非频分时隙的资源产生影响,本申请对频域资源组的大小不作具体限定。
需要说明的是,对于频域资源划分的粒度与方式,除了上述RBG,还可以是RB数,还可以是部分带宽BWP等等,本申请不作具体限定。
另一种可能的实现方式,可以半静态地,采用上述实施例一中的配置方法1100(例如,步骤S1120和S1140),在部分时隙上(非TDM时隙)配置频分的资源H/S/NA。具体实现过程已经在上述步骤中说明,为了简洁,此处不再赘述。
S1540,宿主基站向第一IAB节点发送DCI信令(即,第六信息的一例),用于指示每一时隙的每一段频域资源的可用性;对应的,第一IAB节点接收来自宿主基站的DCI信令。
一种可能的实现方式,对于每个时隙,IAB DU的每一段频域资源可以通过DCI信令的0/1比特来指示可用或不可用。与DCI 2_5的设计类似,动态频域资源的DCI可以用一段连续的比特指示在某个DU的小区cell上,指示周期内的非TDM资源上每个时隙的频分资源可用性。具体指示已经在上述表4说明,为了简洁,此处不再赘述。
示例性的,图18示出的是通过DCI信令指示频域资源是否可用的一例示意图,如图18所示,DU的小区cell X的频域资源被细分为3段,分别是RBG 1、RBG 2和RBG 3,则需要通过3个比特的DCI信令进一步指示。例如,DU的小区cell X针对FDM资源指示的DCI信令为001 010 011 010,那么FDM资源指示的起始位置对应的DCI信令就是001,称为频域资源配置1,3个比特的0/1分别对应RBG 1、RBG 2和RBG 3频域资源的可用性。其中,0用于指示频域资源不可用,或表示频域资源不指示可用,1用于指示频域资源可用。也就是说,RBG 1的频域资源不可用,RBG 2的频域资源不可用,RBG 3的频域资源可用。
应理解,如果DU的小区cell X的频域资源被细分为2段,那么通过两个比特的DCI信令就可以指示频域资源的可用性。
进一步的,本申请实施例也可以与H/S/NA结合,半静态配置频域资源H/S/NA,那么可以仅通过DCI信令的0/1比特指示频域S资源是否可用。示例性的,图18所示的小区cell X的频域资源被细分为3段,那么基于上述方法1100中步骤S1120中配置或预定义的频域资源H/S/NA的图案pattern,可以选择对应频域分为3段的pattern,仅通过1比特的DCI信令0/1进一步指示S资源是否可用即可。
另一种可能的实现方式,对于每个时隙,每一段频域资源可以通过DCI信令指示预定义的配置索引。
其中,预定义的配置索引包括对多个时隙/符号的资源指示。当子IAB节点收到该指示,则可以确定一个或多个时隙/符号上,DU的小区cell上S资源的可用性,该S资源包括频域上部分带宽为S的资源。具体实现步骤如下:
第一步,协议预定义一个对应表格,用于将指示的比特的值以及其含义相关联。
一种可能的实现方式,使用当前协议已经定义的表格,如上述表4所示,资源可用性 元素的值与时隙中S符号可用性类型之间的映射关系,为了简洁,此处不再赘述。也就是说,表4既可以用于配置soft时域资源可用指示性,也可以用于配置soft频域资源可用指示性。
另一种可能的实现方式,定义一种新的表格,可以指示包括频域资源可用性的更多的情况。由于对于一个时域上配置为soft的符号,可能存在频域H/S/NA,也可能存在不同的传输方向配置,因此需要指示的情况会更多。相应的,每种情况所需要的比特数可能也会更多。
示例性的,图19示出的是时域资源S的频域资源可用性的一例示意图。如图19所示,频域资源被分成3段,对应的属性分别为:频域资源不可用(NA)、是否可用依赖于上级节点的进一步指示(S)、一定可用(H)。
应理解,时域S的频域资源划分的带宽大小不限,且频域资源属性可以考虑H和/或S和/或NA,本申请对具体频域资源的划分情况不作限定。表5(即,第二关系的一例)示出了资源可用性元素的值与soft资源(包括时域和频域资源)可用性类型之间的映射关系,共定义了16种情况,每种情况可以基于4个比特进行指示,用于指示一个时隙内所有或部分传输方向的符号可用,或者不指示可用。其中,value值为0-7表示soft时域资源可用性的指示信息,value值为8-15表示soft频域资源可用性的指示信息。如表5所示,value值为0表示所有soft时域资源不指示可用;value值为9表示下行资源不指示可用;value值为14表示灵活资源指示可用,且上行、下行资源不指示可用等。
表5
Figure PCTCN2022085193-appb-000006
Figure PCTCN2022085193-appb-000007
应理解,表5仅仅是示例,实际可能有很多种表格的定义形式,在此不一一列举。但核心思想是指示S资源的可用性,除了考虑传输方向UL、DL、Flexible之外,还可以考虑频域资源H/S/NA,或者只考虑部分时域资源,例如频域H和S资源的可用性。
第二步,宿主基站通过高层信令(例如,RRC信令)配置多个指示集合。
其中,一个集合中包括第一步预定义的表格中的多个值,每个值依次指示一串需要被指示的时隙资源的可用性,即一个数值对应一个时隙资源,对多个指示集合进行编号标识。例如,1、2、3、…、N。应理解,指示集合中的数字,即为表格中的value列。在实际配置中,也可以换算为二进制进行配置,只要能够保证资源可用性元素的值与时隙中S符号可用性类型之间的映射关系一一对应即可。
示例性的,指示集合配置如下所示:
{集合ID:1
2,3,3,6,7,3,6,…
}
{集合ID:2
4,3,5,6,2,6,9,2,2,…
}
{集合ID:N
5,7,3,2,5,7,3,…
}
具体地,对于集合ID:1来说,对应表5所示的资源可用性元素的值与时隙中S符号可用性类型之间的映射关系,第一时隙对应数字2,即‘0010’,用于指示上行链路的S符号指示可用;第二、三、六时隙对应数字3,即‘0011’,用于指示中上行链路和下行链路的S符号指示可用;第四、七时隙对应数字6,即‘0110’,用于指示上行链路和灵活性的S符号指示可用,下行链路的S符号指示不可用;第五时隙对应的数字7,即‘0111’,用于指示上行、下行链路和灵活性的S符号指示可用等。
应理解,在具体实现过程中,还包括以下两种情况:
(1)配置的指示集合仅有一种类型,也就是说,所有指示集合包括的ID拥有统一的范围。那么,该指示集合可以仅基于目前协议定义的表格,如表4,只能指示时隙S上DL,UL,Flexible的资源可用性;或者该指示集合可以仅基于新定义的表格,如表5,只能指示时隙S上DL,UL,Flexible的频域资源H/S/NA的可用性。
(2)两种配置集合都可能存在,也就是说,基站既可以通过DCI指示一个时隙的时域资源是否可用(即不频分),也可以指示一个时隙的具体频域资源是否可用(即进行频分)。
但是,考虑到频域配置的指示集合与现有标准协议的时域配置的指示集合共存的问题,本申请还提出以下几种可能的实现方式。
图24是适用本申请的无线通信方法的又一例示意图。具体包括如下几个步骤。
S2410,网络设备向第一节点发送配置信息。
对应的,第一节点接收来自网络设备的配置信息。
其中,配置信息用于指示资源的可用性,所述配置信息包括多个指示集合的标识信息,每个指示集合包括多个时域资源和/或频域资源可用性的指示;
S2420,第一节点根据所述配置信息确定所述频域资源和/或所述时域资源的可用性。
一种可能的实现方式,所述频域资源可用性的指示包括至少一个RB集合组的资源可用性指示,每个RB集合组包括至少一个时隙的RB集合组资源的可用性指示。
另一种可能的实现方式,所述频域资源可用性的指示包括至少一个时隙的资源可用性指示,所述至少一个时隙包括第一时隙,所述第一时隙还包括至少一个RB集合组资源的可用性指示。
又一种可能的实现方式,所述多个指示集合包括第一指示集合和第二指示集合,所述第一指示集合与所述时域资源对应,所述第二指示集合与所述频域资源可用性的指示对应,所述第一指示集合的标识信息和所述第二指示集合的标识信息不同。
具体地,作为一种示例,设计一种新的资源可用性指示配置,用于同时支持时分资源的可用性指示和频分资源的可用性指示。
可选的,如果IABMT被配置了用于频分资源可用性指示配置,则IABMT不期望收到或不使用已收到的仅用于时分资源可用性指示配置。其中,所述可用性指示配置包括可用性指示的集合ID(AvailabilityCombinationId),每个ID包括一个或多个资源可用性指示(resourceAvailability)。所述资源可用性指示可以是用于时分资源的可用性指示,也可以是用于频分资源的可用性指示。具体地,若所述可用性指示为用于时分资源的可用性指示,则所述可用性指示的取值Value用于确定Soft时隙资源的可用性。若所述可用性指示为用于频分资源的可用性指示,则所述可用性指示为包括一个或多个取值Value的序列,该序列中的每一个取值Value用于指示一个时隙内至少一个soft频域资源的可用性,所述soft频域资源可以为一个或多RB集合(RB set),或一个或多个RB集合组(RB set group)。
可选的,如果IABMT被配置了用于频分资源可用性指示配置,则可以通过配置或者协议预定义的规则,确定时分资源的可用性。例如,仅配置可支持频分资源的rbSetGroups信元。该信元包括至少一个RB set group的资源可用性指示,还可以包括RB set group的数量。具体地,当配置RB set group的数量为1时,资源可用性指示可以理解为用于指示相应时隙的所有频域资源的可用性,也就是说,可以实现对一个时隙的soft频域资源的可用性指示。再例如,通过协议约束。对于配置用于时分资源的可用性指示时,RB set group的数量被配置为1。又例如,通过协议预定义。若一个时分资源的时隙被配置了多个资源可用性指示,则该时分资源的可用性指示可以基于第一个资源可用性指示确定对应的多个RB set group。
可选的,若一个存在频分资源的soft时隙被配置或指示了一个时分资源的可用性指示,则可以理解为该时隙内所有soft频域资源(即RBsetgroup)均按照所配置的时分资源的可用性指示确定资源可用性。具体包括以下几种可能的实现方式。
方案一:每个频域资源,例如RB set group,分别指示一个或多个时隙的资源可用性。
第一种可能的配置信令形式如下所示:

其中,resourceAvailability-r17 choice表示选择采用时域资源可用性指示的方式或频域资源可用性指示的方式。rbSetGroups-r17可以是由多个RbSetGroup-r17组成的序列,每个RbSetGroup-r17包括该RbSetGroup-r17的频域资源可用性配置情况,即用于表示每个RB set group的资源可用性。maxNrofRbSetGroups-r17表示用于配置若干个(最大)RB set group的资源可用性,例如频域上最多可以分为8个RB set group。进一步,每个RbSetGroup-r17还包括RBsets的数量,以及其相应的在该时隙内的资源可用性情况,由resourceAvailability-r16配置。maxNrofResourceAvailabilityPerCombination-r16表示用于一个RB set group在时间上最大配置的资源可用性指示,INTEGER(0..7)可以表示一个RB set group在一个时隙的资源可用性指示,Value取值(0~7)的含义可参见上述表4,这里不再赘述。
第二种可能的配置信令形式如下所示:

其中,用于频分资源可用性指示的集合,以及用于时分资源可用性指示的集合均包括集合ID,频域RB set groups的资源可用性指示,以及maxNrofRbSetGroups表示最多可包括RB set groups数量的资源可用性指示。对于每个RB set group,进一步包括一个或多个时隙上该RB set group的资源可用性配置(由resourceAvailability进行配置),以及每个RB set group所包括RB set的数量。
应理解,该配置信令与第一种配置信令的区别在于第二种方式可以通过不同大小的group数量相应的配置可用性指示,而第一种方法不同时隙的RB set group数相对不灵活。
第三种可能的配置信令形式如下所示:
Figure PCTCN2022085193-appb-000011
Figure PCTCN2022085193-appb-000012
其中,rbSetGroups-r17可以是由多个RbSetGroups-r17组成的序列,每个RbSetGroups-r17包括一个时隙上一个或多个RB set group的资源可用性配置情况。进一步,每个RbSetGroup-r17还包括RBsets的数量以及其相应的在该时隙内的资源可用性情况,由resourceAvailability-r16配置。maxNrofResourceAvailabilityPerCombination表示长度为时间上最大N个时隙。RbSetGroup-r17表示每个时隙上一个或多个RB set group的可用性配置。resourceAvailabilityRbSetGroup表示一个或多个Value的取值(0~7)。若有多个Value值,则每个值对应一个RB set group的资源可用性。maxNrofRbSetGroups表示最多为8个(0~7)的取值。maxNrofRbSets表示每个group的set数量。
方案二:每个时域资源,例如时隙,分别指示一个或多个RB set group上的资源可用性。即若存在频分,则每个时隙分别指示每个RB set group的资源可用性。
其中,配置资源可用性指示包括时域上多个时间资源的可用性指示,时间资源可以为时隙。对于其中任意一个时隙,若所述时隙为时分资源的时隙,则资源可用性指示为表4中的一个Value值,用于确定该时隙的资源可用性。对于其中任意一个时隙,若所述时隙为频分资源的时隙,则进一步包括一个或多个RB set group的资源可用性指示。对于其中任意一个RB set group的资源可用性指示,又进一步包括资源可用性指示的取值,所述取值为表4中的任意一个Value值。任意一个RB set group的资源可用性指示还可以包括所述RB set group的RB set数。具体的配置信令形式可以如下所示:

具体地,作为另一种示例,设计一种额外的资源可用性指示配置,用于支持频分资源的可用性指示。应理解,该配置独立于已有的时分资源的可用性指示(例如,表4)。在该方式中,时分资源的可用性指示和频分资源的可用性指示可以共用相同的availabilityCombinationId集合,即一个DCI信令既可以指示时分时隙的资源可用性,又可以指示频分时隙的资源可用性。
具体地,可以将时分资源的可用性指示和频分资源的可用性指示配置不同的availabilityCombinationId。也就是说,一个availabilityCombinationId仅用于配置时分资源可用性或频分资源可用性。在该配置信令中,时分资源的可用性配置和频分资源的可用性配置可以是独立的,且均包括一个availabilityCombinationId,具体实现方式如下:
Figure PCTCN2022085193-appb-000015
Figure PCTCN2022085193-appb-000016
其中,上述“资源可用性指示”可以是“先频域后时域”的指示方式。例如,假设有4个资源可用性指示{a,b,c,d},用于指示两个soft时隙的资源可用性,a,b,c,d的取值分别为Value值(0~7)中的一个,每个soft时隙资源又可以进一步分为两个RB集合组(RBsetgroup)。此时,可以认为该4个资源可用性指示中的{a,b}用于指示第一个soft时隙的两个RBsetgroup的soft频域资源是否可用,{c,d}用于指示第二个soft时隙的两个RBsetgroup的soft频域资源是否可用。
需要说明的是,上述“资源可用性指示”的映射方法更易于与现有的时域资源可用性指示(例如,表4)共存,即资源可用性指示不论该soft时隙是否为频分时隙,都是逐时隙进行的。
应理解,上述配置信令中的信元名称仅是示例性说明,本申请对此不做具体限定。
需要说明的是,以上提供的几种可能的实现方式仅是示例性说明,不应构成对本申请技术方案的任何限定。
上述所揭示的方法,通过配置和定义多个频域资源可用性指示,避免现有技术中频分资源的配置过于冗余复杂,能够减少信令开销,进而提升系统性能。特别是针对频域配置指示和时域配置的指示集合共存的问题,提供多种可能实现的资源可用性指示配置,避免时域资源和频域资源可用性指示的混乱和干扰,并且可以基于统一的信令框架对时分的资源和频分的资源配置可用性指示配置。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中所涉及的资源块组可以替换为资源块集合或资源块集合列表(list)或资源块集合组,本申请对此不作具体限定。因此,频域资源块组可以替换为频域资源块集合或频域资源块集合列表(list)或频域资源块集合组,时域资源类似。
对于一个DU cell来说,部分时隙可以配置频分资源,部分时隙可以配置时分资源,本申请所揭示的资源可用性指示既可以配置频分资源,也可以配置时分资源。
第三步,上级节点(例如,宿主基站)向IAB节点发送DCI信令(即,第七信息的一例),该第七信息包括至少一个指示集合的标识信息,用于指示至少一个目标指示集合;对应的,IAB节点接收来自上级节点的DCI信令。
其中,DCI信令承载上述配置的指示集合ID,指示下级DU在多个非TDM时隙的资源可用性。需要说明的是,此处发送的DCI信令包括的是集合的索引值,即集合ID。
综上所述,在上述实施例中,首先通过配置时域H/S/NA资源,再将频域资源分为多段,最后通过DCI信令指示每一段频域资源是否可用。主要区别体现在:通过设计新的DCI信令,进一步指示每个需要频分时隙的DU可用资源,避免了配置冗余复杂,进而降低信令开销。
