Definitions
- the present application relates to the communication field, and more specifically, to a data transmission method and device.
- the altitude difference between the network equipment (such as satellite) and the terminal equipment in the non-terrestrial network (non-terrestrial network, NTN) is relatively large (generally greater than 500km). Therefore, the round-trip delay and the round-trip delay difference of the terminal equipment in the same beam/cell in the satellite communication are much larger than the round-trip delay and the round-trip delay difference of the UE in the same cell on the ground. For example, when the cell diameter in the terrestrial cellular network is 350 km, the maximum round-trip delay in the cell is 1.17 milliseconds (ms). However, when the satellite orbit altitude is 600km and the beam diameter is 350km, the maximum round-trip delay can reach about 13ms (the communication angle of the terminal equipment is 10 degrees).

Description
本申请要求于2021年5月10日提交中国专利局、申请号为202110506524.8、申请名称为“一种数据传输方法和装置”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。
本申请涉及通信领域,并且更具体地,涉及一种数据传输方法和装置。
在卫星通信系统中,由于非陆地网络(non-terrestrial network,NTN)中的网络设备(例如卫星)与终端设备的海拔高度相差较大(一般会大于500km)。因此,卫星通信中同一个波束/小区内终端设备的往返时延和往返时延差远大于地面同一小区中UE的往返时延和往返时延差。例如,当陆地蜂窝网中小区直径为350km时,小区内的最大往返时延为1.17毫秒(ms)。然而,卫星轨道高度为600km,波束直径为350km时,最大的往返时延可以达到约13ms(终端设备的通信仰角为10度)。
为了便于网络设备操作,需要上行信号到达网络设备时与相对应的下行信号的定时对齐,因此不同的终端设备在发送上行信号时要根据与网络设备之间的往返时延而做不同的定时提前(timing advance,TA)调整,使得所有用户同时达到网络设备。例如,终端设备在时隙n收到物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH)数据,而终端设备需要在n+K时隙上反馈确认字符(acknowledge character,ACK)或者否认字符(negative acknowledge,NACK),由于TA的需要,终端设备需要在n+K-TA时隙发送ACK,其中,TA需要转换成与K相同的单位,因此,TA的最大值小于K,目前,K的最大值为15,当子载波宽度(subcarrier spacing,SCS)为30KHz时,一个时隙长度为0.5ms,那么TA最大为7.5ms,又由于NTN网络中的往返时延可以达到几百ms,因此,目前最大的TA值无法满足NTN网络中的终端设备定时提前的需要,据此,引入了K偏移值(也可称为Koffset值),即,网络设备调度对应的ACK在n+K+Koffset时隙上传输,即,网络侧在n+K+Koffset时隙上接收ACK,终端设备需要进行TA调整来发送ACK,Koffset的取值需要保证K+Koffset能够覆盖终端设备的最大TA,然而,同样意味着,网络设备可以在n与n+K+Koffset之间发送下行控制信息,那么大大增加了终端设备监听PDCCH(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)的时长,增大了终端设备的功耗,如果终端设备是物联网(internet of things,IoT)设备,那么IoT设备会对功耗更加的敏感。因此,如何减少在卫星通信系统中终端设备监听下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)的时长成为亟待解决的问题。

为了便于理解,以下将对本申请实施例所涉及的基本概念作简单介绍。
定时提前(timing advance,TA):在通信系统中,为保证基站下的UE发送的上行 数据能够同步到达基站,在上行传输过程中,UE需要维护一个定时提前量(timing advance,TA),基站会根据上行信号的偏移情况为UE调整其定时提前量。在卫星通信系统中,由于UE与卫星基站之间的往返时延较大,相比于陆地系统中的TA,卫星通信系统中的TA值会比较大。例如,如图1所示,图1是适用于本申请实施例的一例应用场景图,UE在子帧(subframe)n接收完PDSCH数据,基站需要在子帧n+K+Koffset上接收UE发送的混合自动重传请求(hybrid automatic repeat request,HARQ)-ACK数据(其中,n、K和Koffset都是正整数),由于往返时延较大,UE需要提前TA个时间单位去发送HARQ-ACK数据,该时间单位还可以是时隙(slot)、符号、毫秒、采样间隔数等。需要说明的是,本申请实施例涉及到TA的地方,也遵从上述TA的说明。
图2是适用于本申请实施例的一例应用场景图。在图2中,地面移动终端通过5G新空口接入网络,5G基站部署在卫星上,并通过无线链路与地面的核心网相连。同时,在卫星之间存在无线链路,完成基站与基站之间的信令交互和用户数据调度。图2中的各个网元以及他们的接口说明如下:
终端:可参见上述有关终端设备的说明,并且该终端可以通过空口接入卫星网络并发起呼叫,上网等业务。
5G基站:在5G系统中,主要提供无线接入服务,调度无线资源给接入终端,提供可靠的无线传输协议和数据加密协议等。
5G核心网:包括用户接入控制,移动性管理,会话管理,用户安全认证,计费等业务。5G核心网有多个功能单元组成,可以分为控制面和数据面的功能实体。其中,接入与移动管理单元(AMF),负责用户接入管理,安全认证,还有移动性管理;用户面单元(UPF)负责管理用户面数据的传输,流量统计等功能。
地面站:负责转发卫星基站和5G核心网之间的信令和业务数据。
5G新空口:终端和基站之间的无线链路。
Xn接口:5G基站和5G基站之间的接口,主要用于切换等信令交互。
NG接口:5G基站和5G核心网之间接口,主要交互核心网的非接入层(non-access stratum,NAS)等信令以及用户的业务数据。
在上述场景中,由于卫星通信系统中,终端设备与网络设备(例如卫星)之间的往返时延较大,为了适应该需求,终端设备定时提前的值需要增加,因此,在目前的时隙的偏移值K的基础上增加了K偏移值(Koffset),导致终端设备需要监听PDCCH数据(即DCI)的时间过长,功耗增加。本申请通过设计卫星通信系统中终端设备监听DCI的规则来减少监听时长,达到减少功耗的效果。
如图3中的方法100所示,图3为本申请实施例的一例数据传输方法示意图。

采用上述方式,使能终端设备在第一时段监听第二PDCCH,在第二时段不监听第二PDCCH,避免了终端设备长时间的监听PDCCH,降低了终端设备的功耗,尤其是在卫星通信系统中,由于往返时延过长,终端设备监听PDCCH的时长较长。

上述方式中,当第二时间间隔较大时,卫星可能在收到第一上行数据后就发送第二DCI,因此终端可以在发送第一上行数据并经过往返时延后监听第二DCI,也可以按照规定再延迟一定的时间开始监听第二DCI,避免了终端设备在其它时间内作无用的监听。
在一种可能的实施方式中,所述根据第三大小关系,确定第一时段或第二时段包括:若所述第二时间间隔大于所述第三阈值,所述第一时段包括自所述第一资源对应的结束时刻并经过第一时延的时刻至所述第三资源对应的结束时刻并经所述第一时延的时刻之间的时段,所述第一时延为第二通信装置与第一通信装置之间的往返时延。

上述方式中,终端设备所做的定时提前的量无法使网络设备的上下行子帧边界对齐,网络设备会推迟Kmac的子帧数来接收所述第一上行数据,因此终端设备可以延迟Kmac的时间来监听DCI,减少终端设备的功耗。

下面,结合具体数据传输方式对方法100进行详细说明,需要说明的是,下面各个实施例采用“子帧”作为传输的时间单位为例进行的说明,应理解,本申请不局限于“子帧”作为传输的时间单位,还可以是时隙、符号、毫秒,采样间隔等。
本申请提供了一例数据传输方法,如图4所示,图4为本申请实施例的一例数据传输方法示意图。图4所示场景为UE先收到两个DCI,再发送两个DCI调度的物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH)数据。
例如图4中的(a)所示,假设进程数为2,一个DCI只能调度一个传输块(transmit block,TB),UE需要先接收两个DCI,分别为DCI1和DCI2,DCI1调度的上行数据PUSCH1为在子帧n+K1+Koffset1上传输,UE提前TA1发送PUSCH1,DCI2调度的上行数据 PUSCH2为在子帧m+K2+Koffset2上传输,UE提前TA2发送PUSCH2。其中,K1、K2、Koffset1、Koffset2、TA1和TA2为大于或等于0的正整数,并且,K1、K2、Koffset1、Koffset2、TA1和TA2遵循上述K、Koffset、TA的说明,其中,TA(TA1和TA2)的单位需要转换成和K、Koffset的单位相同,如果K1+Koffset1-TA1间隔较大,才会允许插入DCI2。针对上述场景,本申请实施例设计的数据传输方法如图5中的方法200所示,图5是本申请实施例的再一例数据传输方法示意图:
S210中,网络设备#1(网络设备#1表示某一个网络设备的意思,其它类似表达参见此处解释)发送DCI1,UE#1在子帧n上接收DCI1,DCI1用于调度上行数据PUSCH1的传输资源。
S220,UE#1确定监听DCI2的方式,DCI2用于调度上行数据PUSCH2的传输资源。
具体地,UE#1根据第一大小关系、第二大小关系中的至少一种确定监听DCI2的方式,第一大小关系为K1+Koffset1-TA1的大小与阈值#1的关系,第二大小关系为K1+Koffset1-TA1的大小与阈值#2的关系,其中,阈值#1和阈值#2大于0,阈值#2大于阈值#1,阈值#1和阈值#2的取值可以是预定义的,也可以是协议约定的,还可以是网络设备通过无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令配置给UE#1的,还可以是UE#1根据上行数据或者下行数据的时长(或者重复次数)计算的,例如,DCI1的时长为1个子帧,那么阈值#1为1+2=3,阈值#2为1+5=6,即,阈值#1和阈值#2的取值为DCI1的时长加上一个值而确定的,又例如,DCI1的重复次数为2,那么阈值#1为2*1=2,阈值#2为2*3=6,即,阈值#1和阈值#2的取值为DCI1的时长乘以一个值而确定的,根据上行数据的时长(或者重复次数)计算的方式类似,在此不再赘述。根据其他计算方法确定阈值#1和阈值#2请参见上述内容,在此不再赘述。需要说明的是,阈值#1和阈值#2本申请以子帧数为例进行说明的,阈值#1和阈值#2还可以是时隙数、符号数、毫秒数,采样间隔数等等,最后转化为子帧数进行计算即可,本申请不再赘述。
UE#1根据第一大小关系、第二大小关系中的至少一种确定监听DCI2的方式有如下几种:
方式a
若K1+Koffset1-TA1的大小小于或等于阈值#1,UE#1在子帧n的结束时刻到子帧p的起始时刻之间不监听DCI2(即,不监听DCI2对应的PDCCH),网络设备#1在该时间内不调度DCI2(即DCI2对应的PDCCH)。
在一种可能的实施方式中,在子帧p的结束时刻开始监听DCI2,直到接收到DCI2为止。
方式b
若K1+Koffset1-TA1的大小大于阈值#1并且小于或等于阈值#2,UE#1在子帧n的结束时刻到子帧n+K1+Koffset1-TA1-1的起始时刻之间监听DCI2,即从接收DCI1的结束时刻到发送PUSCH1的前一个子帧的起始时刻之间监听DCI2,网络设备#1在该时间内可能会调度PDCCH。
本申请中,对某一终端设备而言,调度PDCCH表示调度到该终端设备的传输,因此需要向该终端设备发送PDCCH,在不影响上下文理解的前提下,简称为调度PDCCH,与之相对应的,不调度PDCCH就表示不向该终端设备发送PDCCH。
方式c
若K1+Koffset1-TA1的大小大于阈值#2,UE#1在子帧n的结束时刻到n1时段的结束时刻之间不监听DCI2,网络设备#1在该时间内不调度PDCCH,在n1时段的结束时刻到n+K1+Koffset1-TA1-1的起始时刻之间监听DCI2,网络设备#1在该时间内可能调度PDCCH,如图4中的(b)所示,其中,n1时段的起始时刻即子帧n的结束时刻,n1时段的结束时刻早于子帧p的起始时刻,或者n1时段结束时刻为n1时段的起始时刻加上n1时段的时长,n1时段的时长的确定参见阈值#1或阈值#2的确定方式,在此不再赘述;或者,
若K1+Koffset1-TA1的值大于阈值#2,UE#1在子帧n的结束时刻到n1时段的结束时刻之间监听DCI2,网络设备#1在该时间内可能调度PDCCH,若UE#1在子帧n的结束时刻到n1时段的结束时刻之间收到了DCI2,则在子帧m的起始时刻到子帧p的起始时刻之间不监听PDCCH,若UE#1在子帧n的结束时刻到n1时段的结束时刻之间没有收到DCI2,则UE#1在n1时段的结束时刻到发送上行数据PUSCH1的起始时刻之间不监听PDCCH,并且,网络设备#1在此时间内不调度PDCCH,如图5中的(c)所示,其中,n1时段的起始时刻即子帧n的结束时刻;或者,
若K1+Koffset1-TA1的值大于阈值#2,UE#1在n1时段的起始时刻到n1时段的结束时刻之间监听DCI2,在其余时间不监听DCI2,网络设备#1也只可能在该时间内调度PDCCH,在其余时间不调度PDCCH。
S230中,网络设备#1发送DCI2,UE#1采用上述方式中的一种监听DCI2,并在子帧m上接收DCI2。
S240中,UE#1提前TA1发送PUSCH1,网络设备在子帧n+K1+Koffset1上接收PUSCH1。
在一种可能的实施方式中,S250中,UE#1提前TA2发送PUSCH2,网络设备在子帧m+K1+Koffset1上接收PUSCH1。
在图4所示的场景中,通过方法200使能UE根据PDCCH与其调度的上行数据的间隔大小确定是否监听PDCCH,以及如果监听则按照一定的监听方式,来缩短监听的时长,降低终端的功耗。
本申请还提供了另一例数据传输方法,如图6所示,图6为本申请实施例的又一例数据传输方法示意图。图6所示场景为UE先收到第一个DCI,然后发送第一个DCI调度的PUSCH数据,在这之后收到第二个DCI,然后发送第二个DCI调度的PUSCH数据,其中,第一个DCI和第二个DCI分别位于两个进程上。在此场景中,UE在发送完第一个DCI调度的PUSCH数据后的往返时延(round-trip time,RTT)时间内都不会收到网络设备(例如卫星)针对于第一个DCI调度的PUSCH数据的DCI(该DCI用于调度后续的新数据或者调度重传第一个DCI调度的PUSCH数据,例如该DCI包括新数据指示(new data indicator,NDI))。在此RTT时间内,UE需要监听来自于第二个进程的PDCCH。由于网络设备通信的RTT较长,如果一直监听RTT时间内是否存在第二个进程的PDCCH对应的DCI会引入较大的功耗。
针对上述场景,本申请实施例设计的数据传输方法为方法300,下面结合图6进行说明,S310中,网络设备#1发送DCI1,UE#1在子帧n上接收第一个进程的DCI,即DCI1, DCI1用于调度上行数据PUSCH1传输的资源。
S320中,UE#1确定监听DCI2的方式。
具体地,UE#1根据上述数据调度方式确定时段n2,UE#1只在时段n2上监听第二个进程的DCI,即DCI2,DCI2用于调度上行数据PUSCH2传输的资源,网络设备只在时段n2上调度PDCCH,其中,时段n2的确定有以下几种方式:

如图6中的(a)所示,时段n2的起始时刻即子帧p的结束时刻,时段n2的结束时刻小于或等于RTT1的结束时刻,其中,子帧p是UE#1用于发送DCI1调度的上行数据PUSCH1的子帧,RTT1时段的起始时刻为子帧p的结束时刻,RTT1时段的时长为UE#1与网络设备#1之间的往返时延,换句话说,从RTT1的结束时刻开始,UE#1要监听与上行数据PUSCH1对应的反馈DCI,因此,UE#1可以先确定一个最大监听时长t,t大于或等于0,时段n2的结束时刻为时段n2的起始时刻加上t,时段n2的结束时刻早于子帧q的起始时刻。其中,最大监听时长t可以是协议约定的,也可以是网络设备通过RRC信令配置的,还可以是预配置在UE#1中的,还可以是UE#1根据上行数据或者下行数据的时长(或者重复次数)计算的,具体内容类似方法200中的阈值#1或阈值#2的计算方式,在此不再赘述。在该方式中,UE#1在发送完上行数据PUSCH1数据后,即在n2的起始时刻开始监听第二个进程的DCI,即DCI2,一直到时段n2的结束时刻,网络设备在时段n2内可能会调度PDCCH,在时段n2的结束时刻到RTT1的结束时刻UE#1不再监听DCI2,网络设备也不会调度PDCCH。
方式e
如图6中的(b)所示,时段n2的起始时刻大于子帧p的结束时刻,时段n2的结束时刻即RTT1的结束时刻,其中,子帧p和RTT1的说明参见方式d中的说明,在此不再赘述,从RTT1的结束时刻开始,UE#1要监听与上行数据PUSCH1对应的反馈DCI,因此,UE#1可以先确定一个最大监听时长t,时段n2的起始时刻为时段n2的结束时刻减去t。其中,最大监听时长t的确定方式参见上述方式d,在此不再赘述。在该方式中,UE#1在发送完上行数据PUSCH1数据后,一直到时段n2的起始时刻之前,都不监听DCI2,网络设备也不调度PDCCH,在时段n2内,UE#1监听DCI2,网络设备可能会调度PDCCH。
方式f
如图6中的(c)所示,时段n2的起始时刻大于子帧p的结束时刻,时段n2的结束时刻小于RTT1的结束时刻,即时段n2位于子帧p的结束时刻与RTT1的结束时刻之间,其中,子帧p和RTT1的说明参见方式d中的说明,在此不再赘述,从RTT1的结束时刻开始,UE#1要监听与上行数据PUSCH1对应的反馈DCI,因此,UE#1可以先确定时段n2的起始时刻、时段n2的结束时刻、最大监听时长t中的任意两个或三个,即可确定时段n2。例如,时段n2的起始时刻加上最大监听时长t可得到时段n2的结束时刻,又例如,根据时段n2的起始时刻和时段n2的结束时刻可确定时段n2,又例如,时段n2的结束时刻减去最大监听时长t可得到时段n2的起始时刻。其中,时段n2的起始时刻、时段n2的结束时刻、最大监听时长t的数值的确定方式参见上述方式d,在此不再赘述。在该方式中,UE#1在发送完上行数据PUSCH1数据后,RTT1的结束时刻前,只在n2时段内监听DCI2,网络设备可能在n2时段内调度PDCCH。
S330中,UE#1提前TA1发送上行数据PUSCH1(例如,在图6中的子帧p上发送PUSCH1),网络设备#1在子帧n+K1+Koffset1上接收上行数据PUSCH1。
S340中,UE#1采用上述方式的一种监听DCI2,并在子帧m上接收DCI2。
S350中,UE#1提前TA2发送上行数据PUSCH2(例如,在图6中的子帧q上发送PUSCH2),网络设备#1在子帧m+K2+Koffset2上接收上行数据PUSCH2。
在图6所示的场景中,通过方法300使能UE只在一段时间内监听DCI,其余时间不监听,能够减少监听的时长,降低UE的功耗。
本申请实施例还考虑了UE根据两个DCI的调度发送两个上行数据后,如何监听上行数据对应的反馈DCI的方式。假设UE根据第一个进程的DCI,即DCI1的调度,发送上行数据PUSCH1,根据第二个进程的DCI,即DCI2的调度,发送上行数据PUSCH2,那么发送上行数据PUSCH1的结束时刻到发送上行数据PUSCH2起始时刻之间的时间间隔为Toffset(其中,Toffset的传输时间单位可以是时隙(slot)、子帧(subframe)、符号(symbol)、采样间隔数等,本申请以Toffset为子帧数为例进行说明,并不限定于此),在网络设备通信系统中,Koffset会比较大,导致DCI1和DCI2的时间间隔较大,那么进而会导致Toffset比较大,这样网络设备(例如卫星)接收到上行数据PUSCH1和上行数据PUSCH2之间的时间间隔也比较大,网络设备有可能在收到上行数据PUSCH1结束时刻之后,在收到PUSCH2的起始时刻之前发送PUSCH1的反馈DCI,即网络设备在收到两个PUSCH数据中间下发了第一个PUSCH数据对应的反馈DCI。此时,UE需要在发送PUSCH1的结束时刻之后经过RTT时间再去监听PDCCH。但是若Toffset较小,网络设备会在接收完PUSCH2之后才会下发PUSCH1的反馈DCI,此时,UE需要在发送PUSCH2的结束时刻之后经过RTT时间再去监听PDCCH。
针对上述场景,本申请实施例设计的数据传输方法为方法400,下面结合图7进行说明,图7为本申请实施例的又一例数据传输方法示意图,S410,网络设备#1发送第一个进程的DCI(即DCI1),和第二个进程的DCI(即DCI2),UE#1在子帧n上接收DCI1,在子帧m上接收DCI2。
S420,UE#1确定要发送的上行数据PUSCH1和上行数据PUSCH2各自对应的反馈DCI的监听方式。其中,上行数据PUSCH1的传输资源由DCI1调度,上行数据PUSCH2的传输资源由DCI2调度(换句话说,DCI1调度上行数据PUSCH1,DCI2调度上行数据PUSCH2)。
具体地,UE#1根据上行数据PUSCH1和上行数据PUSCH2之间的时间间隔和阈值#3的大小关系确定两个上行数据各自对应的反馈DCI的监听方式。其中,阈值#3的确定方式参见方法200中的阈值#1或阈值#2的确定方式,本申请在此不再赘述。UE#1确定两个上行数据各自对应的反馈DCI的监听方式有如下几种:
方式g
若Toffset小于或等于阈值#2,UE#1在RTT2的结束时刻开始监听DCI3和DCI4,网络设备#1在收到上行数据PUSCH2之后发送DCI3和DCI4,如图7中的(a)所示。其中,DCI3是网络设备针对上行数据PUSCH1发送的反馈DCI,例如该DCI包括的NDI,DCI4是网络设备针对上行数据PUSCH2发送的反馈DCI,例如该DCI包括的NDI。RTT2时段的起始时刻是子帧q的结束时刻,RTT2的结束时刻早于或等于子帧y的起始时刻,RTT2 的时长为UE#1与网络设备#1的往返时延,RTT2的结束时刻为RTT2时段的起始时刻加上RTT2的时长。
方式h
若Toffset大于阈值#2,UE#1在RTT3的结束时刻开始监听DCI3,网络设备在收到上行数据PUSCH1之后发送DCI3。其中,RTT3的起始时刻为子帧p的结束时刻,RTT3的结束时刻早于或等于子帧y的起始时刻,RTT3的时长为UE#1与网络设备#1的往返时延,RTT3的结束时刻为RTT3时段的起始时刻加上RTT3的时长。
方式i
在方式h的基础上,UE#1可能在子帧q的起始时刻之前收到DCI3,也可能在子帧q的结束时刻之后收到DCI3。如果在RTT3的结束时刻与子帧q的起始时刻之间收到DCI3,那么UE#1在子帧y的结束时刻到RTT4的结束时刻不监听DCI4,其中,RTT4的起始时刻为子帧q的结束时刻,RTT4的结束时刻早于或等于子帧s的起始时刻,RTT4的时长为UE#1与网络设备#1的往返时延,RTT3的结束时刻为RTT3时段的起始时刻加上RTT3的时长,因为DCI4只有在UE#1发送PUSCH2并经过了往返时延之后,UE#1才可能会收到DCI4,UE#1在RTT4的结束时刻之后才监听DCI4,如图7中的(b)所示;如果在RTT3的结束时刻与子帧q的起始时刻之间没有收到DCI3,UE#1在子帧q结束时刻之后开始监听DCI3,并在RTT4的结束时刻之后开始监听DCI4,如图7中的(c)所示。
S430中,UE#1提前TA1发送上行数据PUSCH1(例如,在图7中的子帧p上发送PUSCH1),网络设备#1在子帧n+K1+Koffset1上接收上行数据PUSCH1,网络设备#1收到上行数据PUSCH1后发送DCI3,UE#1通过判断采用上述方式中的一种监听DCI3,并在子帧y上接收DCI3。
S440中,UE#1提前TA2发送上行数据PUSCH2(例如,在图7中的子帧q上发送PUSCH2),网络设备#1在子帧m+K2+Koffset2上接收上行数据PUSCH2,网络设备#1收到上行数据PUSCH2后发送DCI4,UE#1通过判断采用上述方式中的一种监听DCI4,并在子帧s上接收DCI4。
图7所示的场景中,通过方法400使能UE只在一段时间内监听DCI,其余时间不监听,能够减少监听的时长,降低UE的功耗。
本申请实施例还考虑了网络设备发送的DCI调度下行数据并同时调度了对应该PDSCH数据UE进行ACK/NACK反馈的上行数据之后,UE对后续DCI的监听方式。其中,ACK/NACK反馈的上行数据是采用上行数据信道进行发送的。例如在如下场景中,UE在收到第一个进程的DCI(即DCI1)调度的下行数据PDSCH1,会进行ACK/NACK的反馈,如果反馈的是ACK,网络设备在收到之后会下发DCI调度新的数据。如果反馈的是NACK,网络设备在收到之后会下发DCI对PDSCH1进行重传调度。所以,UE在发完PDSCH1对应的ACK/NACK之后,最早可以在经过RTT之后进行DCI的监听,最晚可以在收到第二个进程的DCI调度的下行数据PDSCH2后经过RTT之后进行PDCCH的监听。
针对上述场景,本申请实施例设计的数据传输方法为方法500,下面结合图8进行说明,图8为本申请实施例的又一例数据传输方法示意图,S510,网络设备#1发送第一个进程的DCI(即DCI1),和第二个进程的DCI(即DCI2),UE#1在子帧n上接收DCI1, 在子帧m上接收DCI2。其中,DCI1用于调度网络设备#1发送的下行数据PDSCH1以及UE#1发送的针对PDSCH1的ACK1/NACK1的资源,DCI2用于调度网络设备#1发送的下行数据PDSCH2以及UE#1发送的针对PDSCH2的ACK2/NACK2的资源。
S520,网络设备#1发送PDSCH1和PDSCH2,UE#1在子帧p上接收PDSCH1,UE#1提前TA1发送上行数据ACK1(例如,在图8中的子帧r上发送ACK1),相对应的,网络设备#1在子帧n+K1+Koffset1上接收ACK1,在子帧q上接收PDSCH2,UE#1提前TA2发送上行数据ACK2(例如,在图8中的子帧t上发送ACK2),相对应的,网络设备#1在子帧m+K2+Koffset2上接收ACK2。
S530,UE#1确定针对ACK1/NACK1网络设备反馈的DCI3以及针对ACK2/NACK2网络设备反馈的DCI4的监听方式,下面以ACK1和ACK2为例进行说明,UE#1发送ACK1的时间早于发送ACK2的时间,即网络设备#1收到ACK1的时间早于收到ACK2的时间。
具体地,UE#1根据ACK1和ACK2之间的时间间隔AToffset和阈值#4的关系确定DCI3和DCI4的监听方式。其中,AToffset的时间单位的说明参见Toffset的说明,在此不再赘述,AToffset为大于或等于0的整数,阈值#4的确定方式参见方法200中的阈值#1或阈值#2的确定方式,本申请在此不再赘述。UE#1确定两个上行数据各自对应的反馈DCI的监听方式有如下几种:
方式j
若AToffset小于或等于阈值#4,网络设备#1收到ACK1和ACK2之间的时间间隔也会小于或等于阈值#4,那么网络设备#1在收到ACK1和ACK2之后发送DCI3和DCI4,UE#1在发送完ACK2之后开始监听DCI3和DCI4。
具体地,UE#1在RTT5时段的结束时刻以后才开始监听DCI3和DCI4,如图8中的(a)所示。其中,RTT5时段的起始时刻是子帧t的结束时刻,RTT5时段的结束时刻早于或等于子帧y的结束时刻,RTT5的时长为UE#1与网络设备#1的往返时延,RTT5的结束时刻为RTT5时段的起始时刻加上RTT5的时长。
方式k
若AToffset大于阈值#4,网络设备#1收到ACK1和ACK2之间的时间间隔也会大于阈值#4,那么网络设备#1可能在收到ACK1之后就下发其对应的DCI3,那么UE#1在发送完ACK1之后开始监听DCI3,在发送完ACK2之后开始监听DCI4。
具体地,UE#1在RTT6时段的结束时刻以后开始监听DCI3,在RTT5的结束时刻开始监听DCI4,如图8中的(b)所示。其中,RTT6时段的起始时刻是子帧r的结束时刻,RTT6时段的结束时刻早于或等于子帧y的结束时刻,RTT6的时长为UE#1与网络设备#1的往返时延,RTT6的结束时刻为RTT5时段的起始时刻加上RTT5的时长。
方式m
在方式k的基础上,若UE#1在RTT6的结束时刻之后,RTT5的结束时刻之前收到了DCI3,那么UE#1在子帧y的结束时刻与RTT5的结束时刻之间不监听DCI4,在RTT5的结束时刻之后开始监听DCI4,如图8中的(b)所示。
S540,网络设备#1发送DCI3和DCI4,UE#1通过判断采用上述方式中的一种监听DCI3和DCI4,并在子帧y上接收DCI3,在子帧s上接收DCI4。
图8所示的场景中,通过方法500使能UE根据网络设备反馈的两个ACK/NACK的 间隔和阈值的关系,确定监听DCI和不监听DCI的方式,能够减少监听的时长,降低UE的功耗。
需要说明的是,上述实施例中,网络设备#1调度DCI2的方式与UE#1监听DCI2的方式是相应地,即两者都是按照上述规则进行判断的。
方法200到方法500中的实施例中,都是UE通过判断来确定监听DCI的方式,本申请还提供了网络设备(例如卫星)针对上述不同场景直接规定UE监听DCI方式的实施例。
对应方法200中的场景,本申请还提供了数据传输方法600,下面结合图9进行说明,图9为本申请实施例的又一例数据传输方法示意图。
S610,网络设备#1发送DCI1,UE#1在子帧n上接收DCI1,DCI1用于调度上行数据PUSCH1的传输资源。
S620,网络设备#1确定UE#1监听DCI2的方式。
具体地,网络设备#1通过规定K1+Koffset1的大小来确定UE#1监听DCI2的方式,有如下几种方式。
方式a1
网络设备#1规定K1+Koffset1小于或等于阈值#5,UE#1在子帧n的结束时刻至发送PUSCH1的前一个子帧之前始终监听DCI2(例如,如图9中的(a)所示,UE#1在子帧n的结束时刻至子帧n+K1+Koffset1-TA1-1的起始时刻之间始终监听DCI2),即,网络设备#1在该时间内调度DCI2对应的PDCCH,如图9中的(a)所示。其中,阈值#5的取值可参考方法200中的阈值#1或阈值#2的取值方式,在此不再赘述。
方式a2
网络设备#1规定K1+Koffset1大于阈值#5,并确定n3时段,UE#1只在n3时段中监听DCI2,其余时段不监听DCI2,即网络设备#1只在n3时段调度DCI2对应的PDCCH,如图9中的(b)所示。其中,n3时段的起始时刻大于或等于(不早于)子帧n的结束时刻,时段n3的结束时刻小于或等于(不晚于)子帧n+K1+Koffset1-TA1-1的起始时刻。
网络设备#1可以通过RRC信令告知UE#1采用的监听DCI的方式,也可以将上述方式预配置在网络设备和UE中,网络设备只需告诉UE索引,UE按照索引找到对应的监听DCI的方式即可。
S630,网络设备#1按照规定采用上述方式中的一种调度并发送DCI2,UE#1相应地进行监听DCI2,并在子帧m上接收DCI2,UE#1提前TA1发送上行数据PUSCH1,相应的,网络设备在子帧n+K1+Koffset1上接收上行数据PUSCH1,UE#1提前TA2发送上行数据PUSCH2,相应的,网络设备在子帧m+K2+Koffset2上接收上行数据PUSCH2,其中,上行数据PUSCH2的传输资源由DCI2调度。
应理解,K1+Koffset1的大小也可以是协议约定的,网络设备#1和UE#1按照该协议约定的上述方式进行DCI的调度或者监听。
图9所示的场景中,通过方法600使能网络设备直接规定K1+Koffset1,并确定UE监听DCI和不监听DCI的方式,能够减少监听的时长,降低UE的功耗。

S720,网络设备#1确定UE#1监听DCI2的方式,并发送DCI2。
具体地,网络设备#1确定n4时段,网络设备#1只在n4时段调度DCI2对应的PDCCH,UE#1只在n4时段监听DCI2。其中,n4时段的起始时刻大于或等于(不早于)子帧p的结束时刻,n4时段的结束时刻早于或等于发送PUSCH2的起始时刻(例如图10中的子帧q的起始时刻),n4时段的时长可以是协议约定的,也可以是网络设备通过RRC信令配置的,还可以是预配置的,还可以是网络设备#1根据上行数据或者下行数据的时长(或者重复次数)计算的,具体内容类似方法200中的阈值#1或阈值#2的计算方式,在此不再赘述。n4时段的结束时刻为n4时段的起始时刻加上n4时段的时长。

S910,网络设备#1发送第一个进程的DCI(即DCI1),和第二个进程的DCI(即DCI2),UE#1在子帧n上接收DCI1,在子帧m上接收DCI2。其中,DCI1用于调度网络设备#1发送的下行数据PDSCH1以及UE#1发送的针对PDSCH1的ACK1/NACK1的资源,DCI2用于调度网络设备#1发送的下行数据PDSCH2以及UE#1发送的针对PDSCH2的ACK2/NACK2的资源。

方式j1
网络设备#1通过规定ACK1和ACK2之间的时间间隔AToffset的大小来确定DCI3和DCI4的监听方式。其中,AToffset的取值参见方法200,本申请在此不再赘述。
具体地,网络设备#1规定AToffset的值不超过阈值#7,其中,阈值#7的取值可参见方法200中的阈值#1或阈值#2的确定方式,网络设备#1在收到ACK1和ACK2后发送DCI3和DCI4,因此UE#1在发送完ACK2后(子帧t的结束时刻)开始监听DCI3和DCI4,如图12中的(a)所示。
或者,UE#1在RTT5的结束时刻加上时长t3开始监听DCI3和DCI4,其中,RTT5参见方法500的说明,时长t3的单位也可以是时隙、子帧、符号等其它单位,时长t3的确定方式可以参见方法300中的最大监听时长t,在此不再赘述,其中,时长t3大于或等于0。
例如,当规定t3为0时,UE#1在RTT5的结束时刻开始监听DCI3和DCI4,当规定t3大于0时,UE#1在RTT5的结束时刻再经过t3开始监听DCI3和DCI4,网络设备#1 按照相应的方式调度DCI3和DCI4对应的PDCCH。
方式j2

例如,当规定的时长t4为0时,UE#1在RTT6的结束时刻开始监听DCI3,当规定的t4大于0时,UE#1在RTT6的结束时刻再经过t4开始监听DCI3,若在RTT6的结束时刻再经过t4到发送ACK2的开始时刻之前收到了DCI3,那么UE#1在子帧y的结束时刻到RTT5的结束时刻之间不监听DCI4,网络设备#1按照相应的方式调度DCI3和DCI4对应的PDCCH。
方式j3

S940,网络设备#1按照规定采用上述方式中的一种调度并发送DCI3和DCI4,UE#1相应地监听DCI3和DCI4,并在子帧y上接收DCI3,在子帧s上接收DCI4。
示例性地,方法600~方法900中的不同的监听方式可以预配置在UE#1中,网络设备#1可以在调度数据之前,将调度数据所采用的的数据调度方式所默认的监听方式发给UE#1,UE#1只需按照默认的监听方式监听PDCCH,如果出于不同业务的需要,网络设备#1可以激活其它监听方式,即将需要使用的监听方式的索引或者编号发给UE#1,UE#1按照激活的监听方式来监听PDCCH。
图12所示的场景中,通过方法900使能直接规定UE监听DCI的时域位置,能够减少监听的时长,降低UE的功耗。
本申请实施例还考虑了TA的大小对网络设备(例如卫星)的上下行数据是否对齐存在影响的场景,下面结合图13进行说明,图13为本申请实施例的又一例数据传输方法示意图。当TA较小时,例如小于或等于阈值#8,其中,阈值#8的确定方式可以参考方法200中的阈值#1或阈值#2的确定方式,网络设备的上下行数据可以认为是对齐的,即TA为UE到网络设备的往返传输时延,假设UE在上行子帧n结束上行数据的传输,那么UE在下行子帧n+1的起始时刻到下行子帧n+3的结束时刻的这段时间内不需要监听物理下行控制信道,如图13中的(a);当TA较大时,例如大于阈值#8,但是UE所做的定时提前的量小于TA,即UE实际做的定时提前小于与网络设备的往返时延,那么网络设备需要对上行数据或者下行数据额外的做定时偏移Kmac(即延迟收到上行数据或者发送下行数据的时间,偏移的子帧数Kmac,此处Kmac的时间单位还可以是时隙、符号、采样间隔等,再转换成子帧数即可),其中,Kmac大于或等于0,UE对PDCCH的监听采用方法1000,下面结合图13对方法1000进行说明。
S1010,UE#1在下行子帧n上接收DCI1,UE#1提前TA1发送PUSCH1。
S1020,UE#1确定监听方式。
具体地,UE#1根据TA1与阈值#8的关系确定监听方式,并根据如下方式的一种监听物理下行控制信道。
方式y
当TA1小于或等于阈值#8,此时TA1等于UE#1与网络设备#1的往返时延,UE#1在下行子帧n+1的起始时刻到下行子帧n+3的结束时刻的这段时间内不监听PDCCH,网络设备#1在这段时间内不调度PDCCH,UE#1在下行子帧n+3的结束时刻开始监听PDCCH。
方式z
当TA1大于阈值#8并且小于UE#1与网络设备#1的往返时延,UE#1在下行子帧n+1的起始时刻到下行子帧n+3+Kmac的结束时刻的这段时间内不监听PDCCH,网络设备#1在这段时间内不调度PDCCH,UE#1在下行子帧n+3+Kmac的结束时刻开始监听PDCCH。
S1030,网络设备#1偏移Kmac个子帧后接收PUSCH1。
图13所示的场景中,通过方法1000使能UE根据定时提前的大小确定监听物理下行控制信道的时域位置,能够减少监听的时长,降低UE的功耗。
需要说明的是,本申请中涉及的PDCCH,PDSCH,PUSCH除了可以直接应用于LTE、5G系统外,还可以应用于NB-IoT(Narrowband IoT,窄带IoT)系统,这时PDCCH,PDSCH,PUSCH分别对应NPDCCH,NPDSCH,NPUSCH。
