Description

一种传输配置信息的方法、装置以及可读存储介质 技术领域
本公开涉及无线通信技术,尤其涉及一种传输配置信息的方法、装置以及可读存储介质。
背景技术
相关技术中,基于载波聚合(Carrier Aggregation,CA)或双链接(Dual Connectivity,DC)等技术的通信系统中,用户设备能够支持同时接入多个小区,对于用户设备接入的辅小区,3GPP(The 3rd Generation Partner Project,第三代合作伙伴计划)标准中定义了辅小区(Secondary Cell,SCell)激活时延。
辅小区激活包括已知辅小区激活和未知辅小区激活。在辅小区激活前,当用户设备在协议约定的一段时间内向网络设备上报过该辅小区的测量信息,且在协议约定的小区识别时间内该辅小区是可检测到的,则认为该辅小区是已知辅小区。另外对于FR2(Frequency Range2,频率范围2)即毫米波频段的辅小区,在辅小区激活流程中的传输配置指示(Transmission Configuration Indicator,TCI)激活是基于用户设备上报的同步块(Synchronization Signal/PBCH block,SSB)的索引值(index)或信道状态信息参考信号(Channel State Information-Reference Signal,CSI-RS)index确定的,则认为该辅小区是已知辅小区。在不满足上述条件时,认为该辅小区是未知辅小区。
基于SSB执行辅小区激活时,由于SSB测量受限于SSB测量定时配置(SSB Measurement Timing Configuration,SMTC),并且SMTC的周期时间比较长,一般为20ms、40ms或80ms。特别是对于FR2未知辅小区(unknown SCell)激活来说,用户设备还需要进行接收波束扫描(RX beam sweeping)来确定最优波束,由此导致FR2未知辅小区激活时延很长。

针对未知辅小区的激活流程和已知辅小区的激活流程有所不同。
如图2所示,在激活未知辅小区时,用户设备接收到用于激活辅小区的激活命令后,需执行自动增益控制(Automatic Gain Control,AGC)、小区搜索(synchronization)、L1-RSRP测量和上报、时频精同步(fine time/frequency tracking)和CSI上报。其中,激活命令可采用媒体接入控制层控制单元(Media Access Control Control Element,MAC CE)信令。其中,在小区搜索过程中,用户设备可进行层3波束级测量。
如图3所示,在激活已知辅小区时,用户设备接收到用于激活辅小区的激活命令后,只需执行时频同步和CSI上报。
在未知辅小区的流程中,用户设备需进行接收波束扫描(RX beam sweeping)执行层一(Layer 1,L1)测量来确定最优波束,波束扫描需扫描8个方向,FR2未知辅小区的L1 测量的测量时延较长,从而导致激活时延很长。
本公开实施例中提供了一种传输配置信息的方法,该方法可应用于未知辅小区激活的场景中。图4是根据一示例性实施例示出的一种传输配置信息的方法的流程图。如图4所示,该方法包括步骤S401~S403,具体的:
步骤S401,网络设备102向用户设备发送第一配置信息,第一配置信息包括测量配置。

在一些可能的实施方式中,用户设备101可根据L3测量结果是否大于或等于设定阈值,确定是否进行第一辅小区激活流程中的L1测量。
在一示例中,在至少一个L3测量结果中,若存在任一个L3测量结果大于或等于设定阈值,则表明此时宽波束对应的信号质量足够好,UE可不进行L1测量,结合该大于或等于设定阈值的L3波束级测量结果对应的宽波束作为最优接收波束。由此可节省L1测量步骤,有效减少测量时延。
在一示例中,若全部L3测量结果均小于设定阈值,虽需要进行L1测量,但结合网络设备102的指令或配置,用户设备101可仅在最优L3测量结果对应的宽波束内执行L1测量,即仅扫描宽波束R内的几个波束r进行L1测量,仍可以减少测量时延。
在一些可能的实施方式中,第一能力用于表征用户设备101的L3测量结果能够支持网络设备102选取最优波束。即用户设备101支持该第一能力时,表明用户设备101能力较强,其L3测量结果足够支持网络设备102进行波束选择。
在一些可能的实施方式中,用户设备101可根据自身是否支持第一能力,确定是否需要执行L1测量。
在一示例中,若用户设备101支持第一能力,则不需进行L1测量,以最优L3测量结果对应的宽波束作为最优接收波束。由此可节省L1测量步骤,有效减少测量时延。
在一示例中,若用户设备101不支持第一能力,则需要进行L1测量。结合网络设备102的指令或配置,用户设备101可仅在最优L3测量结果对应的宽波束内执行L1测量,即仅扫描宽波束R内的几个波束r进行L1测量,仍可以减少测量时延。
本公开实施例中,用户设备101根据第一配置信息进行层3测量,再结合自身能力或层3测量结果,选择性的省去层1测量的步骤,或者仅在宽波束范围内进行层1测量,从而有效节约辅小区激活流程中的测量时延,有利于节约辅小区激活时延。

在一些可能的实施方式中,设定阈值可包含L3-RSRP对应的阈值、L3-RSRQ对应的阈值或L3-SINR对应的阈值。
在一示例中,以L3测量结果为L3-RSRP为例进行说明。结合图5所对应的示例,若用户设备101获得2~3个L3-RSRP值,用户设备101可确定该2~3个L3-RSRP值与对应阈值的关系。确定是否存在一L3-RSRP大于或等于对应的设定阈值。
本示例中,当在L3测量结果中存在任一个L3-RSRP,则表明此时宽波束对应的信号质量足够好,UE不需进行层1测量,以L3测量结果对应的宽波束作为最优接收波束。由此可节省L1测量步骤,有效减少测量时延。
在一示例中,若全部L3测量结果均小于设定阈值,用户设备101仍可向网络设备102上报L3测量报告。结合网络设备102的指令或配置,在最优L3测量结果对应的宽波束内执行L1测量,即仅扫描宽波束R内的几个波束r进行L1测量,仍可以减少测量时延。
在一些可能的实施方式中,L1测量可以是采用不同波束r测量获得L1-RSRP、L1-RSRQ或L1-SINR。

对于FR2中的辅小区,额外要求在辅小区激活流程中的TCI激活是基于用户设备上报的SSB或CSI-RS index确定的。
步骤S1006,用户设备101根据第一配置信息,基于SSB进行第一辅小区的L3-RSRP测量。
步骤S1007,用户设备101向网络设备102上报第一测量报告。该第一测量报告包含用户设备101基于SSB进行L3测量过程中的全部L3-RSRP,结合图5所示,每个L3-RSRP对应于一个UE侧的宽波束。

步骤S1012,网络设备102下发激活第二配置信息即CSI-RS资源TCI状态的信息。
在一些可能的实施方式中,网络设备可通过相同的MAC CE发送步骤S1009~S1011的激活消息。以节约传输时延以及节约网络信令。
在一些可能的实施方式中,用户设备101在接收到网络设备102发送的用于激活TRS的TCI状态的信息后,可以根据所述TRS激活第一辅小区。在接收到用于激活CSI-RS资源的TCI状态的信息后,可以上报CSI。在接收到用于激活PDCCH和PDSCH的TCI状态的信息后,可以在激活第一辅小区后,接收对应的物理下行信道。
在一些可能的实施方式中,PDCCH和PDSCH的TCI状态可与CSI-RS资源TCI状态或者TRS的TCI状态相同。

步骤S1109,用户设备101根据第三配置信息,在宽波束R1范围内进行L1-RSRP测量。该步骤在宽波束R1范围内进行接收波束扫描,以进行CSI-RS/SSB的L1-RSRP测量。
可以理解的,结合图5所示,在宽波束R1范围内进行接收波束扫描时,相对于相关技术进行8个波束扫描的方式,时延可有效降低,进一步地可以体现在终端接收波束扫描系数的减少,比如由8减少到6或者4等等。
步骤S1110,用户设备101基于L1-RSRP向网络设备102上报第二测量报告。
步骤S1111,网络设备102确定第二测量报告中最优L1-RSRP对应的第二波束(preferred beam)。

步骤S1115,用户设备101根据第四配置信息接收CSI-RS,并执行激活的后续步骤:时频同步以及CSI上报。
在一些可能的实施方式中,用户设备101采用最优L1-RSRP对应的波束接收CSI-RS。
本示例中,对于不支持第一能力的用户设备101,在辅小区激活流程中,根据网络设备102的第三配置信息,用户设备101在一个宽波束范围内执行L1-RSRP测量,可以有效介于测量时延,进而降低辅小区激活时延,实现快速辅小区激活。
