Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to frequency hopping technology in the field of mobile communications, and in particular to a method and device for determining channel frequency hopping, and a computer storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) can use frequency hopping technology to obtain frequency domain diversity gain and improve channel transmission performance. In LTE, the first and second steps of PUCCH frequency hopping are mirror-symmetrical with the center of the system bandwidth, such as Figure 1 As shown, the distance between the first step and the lower edge of the system bandwidth is consistent with the distance between the second step and the upper edge of the system bandwidth, both of which are D.

[0003] The above design for PUCCH frequency hopping can distribute PUCCH on both sides of the system bandwidth, so as to leave the central part of the system bandwidth for data channels, such as the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), but it will cause different PUCCH frequency hopping steps for different terminals. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, some terminals use a larger frequency hopping step size, which brings the PUCCH closer to the edge of the system bandwidth, resulting in better frequency diversity and transmission performance. Meanwhile, other terminals use a smaller frequency hopping step size, which brings the PUCCH closer to the center of the system bandwidth, resulting in poorer frequency diversity and transmission performance. This indicates that the traditional PUCCH frequency hopping design results in an unstable PUCCH frequency hopping step size, which, when PUCCH capacity is high, can lead to degraded PUCCH transmission performance for some terminals.

[0095] In order to enable a more detailed understanding of the features and technical contents of the embodiments of the present application, the implementation of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The attached drawings are for reference only and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present application.

[0096] The fifth-generation mobile communication (5G NR) system is the research direction of future mobile communication systems. In the 5G NR system, on the one hand, in order to increase the flexibility of frequency domain resource allocation and reduce terminal power consumption, 5G NR terminals can transmit signals in bandwidth segments (Bandwidth Part) that are smaller than the system bandwidth. When the bandwidth of the bandwidth segment is small, the frequency hopping step size of the PUCCH located in the center will be further reduced, affecting the PUCCH transmission performance. On the other hand, because 5G NR introduces a series of new technologies, such as the new Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology, a larger number of channel state information reports (CSI reports) are required, and the PUCCH load is greatly increased. This will cause the PUCCH to occupy a larger proportion of frequency domain resources in the bandwidth segment. The PUCCH frequency hopping step size near the center of the bandwidth segment becomes smaller, and the transmission performance is further deteriorated.

[0097] To this end, an embodiment of the present application proposes a method for determining channel frequency hopping, which can achieve a stable frequency hopping step size under the broadband size of a given bandwidth segment, thereby obtaining a more stable frequency domain diversity gain and improving the transmission performance of the uplink channel (especially the uplink control channel).

[0098] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for determining channel frequency hopping according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the method for determining channel frequency hopping includes the following steps:

[0099] Step 301: The terminal determines a first bandwidth size corresponding to a bandwidth segment, where the first bandwidth size corresponding to the bandwidth segment is smaller than or equal to a carrier bandwidth size.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present application, the type of terminal is not limited, and the terminal can be any type such as a mobile phone, a notebook, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a car terminal, a smart home terminal, etc.

[0101] In the embodiments of this application, the bandwidth supported by a base station is referred to as the system bandwidth. In LTE, a terminal can transmit signals within the entire system bandwidth. In a 5G NR system, a terminal transmits signals only within a portion of the system bandwidth. Here, a portion of the system bandwidth is called a bandwidth segment. Bandwidth segmentation can effectively improve the resource utilization efficiency of the system bandwidth.

[0102] In an embodiment of the present application, the uplink channel can be transmitted using a frequency hopping method. Taking a two-step frequency hopping as an example, the difference in the frequency domain between the first and second steps of the frequency hopping is the frequency hopping step length. The size of the frequency hopping step length determines the frequency domain diversity gain of the uplink channel. The larger the frequency hopping step length, the greater the frequency domain diversity gain of the uplink channel. Conversely, the smaller the frequency hopping step length, the smaller the frequency domain diversity gain of the uplink channel. To obtain a stable and large frequency domain diversity gain, the embodiment of the present application determines the frequency hopping step length corresponding to the uplink channel based on the first bandwidth size corresponding to the bandwidth segment, thereby improving the transmission performance of the uplink channel (especially the uplink control channel).

[0103] Specifically, the terminal needs to first determine the first bandwidth size corresponding to the bandwidth segment. Obviously, the first bandwidth size corresponding to the bandwidth segment is smaller than or equal to the carrier bandwidth size.

[0104] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal receives first configuration information, and determines a first bandwidth size corresponding to the bandwidth segment based on the first configuration information.

[0105] Here, the terminal may receive the first configuration information in the following two ways:

[0106] Method 1: The terminal receives RRC signaling carrying the first configuration information.

[0107] Method 2: The terminal receives system information carrying the first configuration information.

[0108] In the above solution, the number of first configuration information received by the terminal may be one or more, where more means greater than or equal to two.

[0109] When the terminal receives the first configuration information, it determines the first bandwidth size corresponding to the bandwidth segment based on the first configuration information.

[0110] When the terminal receives multiple first configuration information, it determines multiple candidate first bandwidth sizes corresponding to the bandwidth segment based on the multiple first configuration information; and selects the first bandwidth size corresponding to the bandwidth segment from the multiple candidate first bandwidth sizes.

[0111] Here, the terminal receives a first control signaling, and selects a first bandwidth size corresponding to the bandwidth segment from the multiple candidate first bandwidth sizes according to the first control signaling, wherein the first control signaling is: DCI or MAC CE.

[0112] Step 302: The terminal determines a frequency hopping step corresponding to an uplink channel based on a first bandwidth size corresponding to the bandwidth segment.

[0113] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal determines the frequency hopping step size corresponding to the uplink channel based on the following formula: H =nW,

[0114] Among them, W H is the frequency hopping step corresponding to the uplink channel, W is the first bandwidth size corresponding to the bandwidth segment, n is the proportional coefficient, n=1 / m, and m is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0115] In one embodiment, m=2 or 4.

[0116] Based on the formula W H =nW determines the W H hour, or in, Represents the smallest integer greater than nW, Represents the largest integer less than nW.

[0117] Considering that the frequency hopping step length is equal to an integer multiple of the frequency domain scheduling unit, it is practical, so in the embodiment of the present application, W H The value of is an integer.

[0118] For example, n may be 1 / 2, 1 / 4, etc. Different terminals may correspond to the same n value, or different terminals may correspond to different n values.

[0119] In the above solution, the terminal needs to first determine n or W H Specifically, the terminal determines the n or W based on a preset value. H Or, the terminal receives the second configuration information, and determines the n or W based on the second configuration information H .

[0120] Here, the terminal may receive the second configuration information in the following two ways:

[0121] Method 1: The terminal receives RRC signaling carrying the second configuration information.

[0122] Method 2: The terminal receives system information carrying the second configuration information.

[0123] In one embodiment of the present application, the second configuration information and the first configuration information are the same configuration information.

[0124] In the above solution, the number of second configuration information received by the terminal may be one or more.

[0125] When the terminal receives a second configuration information, it determines the n or W based on the second configuration information. H .

[0126] When the terminal receives multiple second configuration information, it determines multiple candidate n or W based on the multiple second configuration information. H ; From the multiple candidates n or W H Select the n or W H .

[0127] Here, the terminal receives a second control signaling, and selects from the plurality of candidate n or W according to the second control signaling. H Select the n or W H . The second control signaling is: DCI or MAC CE.

[0128] In one embodiment of the present application, the second control signaling and the first control signaling are the same control signaling.

[0129] Step 303: The terminal determines a frequency domain position for transmitting an uplink channel based on the frequency hopping step corresponding to the uplink channel.

[0130] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal determines the frequency domain position of the second frequency hopping step based on the frequency domain position of the first frequency hopping step and the frequency hopping step corresponding to the uplink channel; wherein the frequency domain position of the first frequency hopping step and the frequency domain position of the second frequency hopping step are the frequency domain positions used to transmit the uplink channel.

[0131] Here, the terminal receives a third control signaling, and determines the frequency domain position of the first step of the frequency hopping based on the third control instruction. Wherein, the third control signaling is: DCI or MAC CE.

[0132] In an embodiment of the present application, the third control signaling is the same control signaling as at least one of the following: the first control signaling and the second control signaling.

[0133] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below with reference to specific application examples.

[0134] Application Example 1:

Figure 1 ,like Figure 4 As shown, the bandwidth size of a certain bandwidth segment or a certain bandwidth segment is W, and the frequency hopping step size of the PUCCH frequency domain is W H Corresponding to the bandwidth size W of the bandwidth segment, for example, W H =W / 2.

[0137] In one embodiment, for multiple terminals using the same bandwidth segment, all use the same W H For example, if the bandwidth size of bandwidth segment 1 is W1 and the bandwidth size of bandwidth segment 2 is W2, then multiple terminals in bandwidth segment 1 use the same W. H =W1 / 2, multiple terminals in bandwidth segment 2 use the same W H =W2 / 2.

[0138] In another embodiment, for multiple terminals using bandwidth segments of the same size, the same W H For example, if the bandwidth of bandwidth segment 1 and bandwidth segment 2 are both W, then multiple terminals in bandwidth segment 1 and bandwidth segment 2 all use the same W. H =W / 2.

Figure 2 ,like Figure 5 As shown, the bandwidth size of a certain bandwidth segment or a certain bandwidth segment is W, and the frequency hopping step size of the PUCCH frequency domain is WH Corresponding to the bandwidth size W of the bandwidth segment. For multiple terminals using the same bandwidth segment or bandwidth segments of the same size, different W H Configuration, such as W at terminal 1 H =W / 4, W of terminal 2 H =W / 2, that is, terminal 1 and terminal 2 use different n configurations, that is, n=4 for terminal 1 and n=2 for terminal 2.
