Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wireless communications, and in particular to a method executed by a user equipment and corresponding user equipment. Background Art
[0002] In traditional cellular networks, all communications must go through the base station. In contrast, D2D (Device-to-Device) communication refers to direct communication between two user devices without forwarding through the base station or core network. At the RAN#63 plenary meeting of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) in March 2014, a research project on implementing proximity-based D2D communication services using LTE devices was approved (see Non-Patent Document 1). LTE Release 12 introduces D2D features including:
[0003] 1) Discovery between nearby devices in LTE network coverage scenarios;
[0004] 2) Direct broadcast communication between nearby devices (Broadcast function);
[0005] 3) The upper layer supports unicast and multicast communication functions.
[0006] At the 3GPP RAN#66 plenary meeting in December 2014, the enhanced LTE eD2D (enhanced D2D) research project was approved (see Non-Patent Document 2). The main features introduced in LTE Release 13 eD2D include:
[0007] 1) D2D discovery in scenarios with no network coverage and partial network coverage;
[0008] 2) Priority processing mechanism for D2D communication.
[0009] Based on the design of D2D communication mechanisms, the 3GPP RAN#68 plenary meeting in June 2015 approved a feasibility study on V2X based on D2D communication. V2X, standing for Vehicle to Everything, aims to enable information exchange between vehicles and all entities that may affect them. The goal is to reduce accidents, ease traffic congestion, reduce environmental pollution, and provide other information services. V2X application scenarios primarily include four areas:
[0010] 1) V2V, Vehicle to Vehicle, i.e. vehicle-to-vehicle communication;
[0011] 2) V2P, Vehicle to Pedestrian, where a vehicle sends a warning to a pedestrian or non-motor vehicle;
[0012] 3) V2N, Vehicle to Network, which refers to vehicles connecting to mobile networks;
[0013] 4) V2I, Vehicle to Infrastructure, refers to the communication between vehicles and road infrastructure.
[0014] 3GPP divides the research and standardization work of V2X into three phases. The first phase was completed in September 2016, focusing mainly on V2V, based on LTE Release 12 and Release 13 D2D (also known as sidelink communication), that is, proximity communication technology (see non-patent document 3). V2X stage 1 introduced a new D2D communication interface called the PC5 interface. The PC5 interface is mainly used to solve the communication problems of cellular vehicle networks in high-speed (up to 250 km / h) and high-node density environments. Vehicles can exchange information such as location, speed and direction through the PC5 interface, that is, vehicles can communicate directly through the PC5 interface. Compared with the proximity communication between D2D devices, the functions introduced by LTE Release 14 V2X mainly include:
[0015] 1) Higher density DMRS to support high-speed scenarios;
[0016] 2) Introducing sub-channels to enhance resource allocation;
[0017] 3) Introducing a user equipment sensing mechanism with semi-persistent scheduling.
[0018] The second phase of the V2X research project falls within the scope of LTE Release 15 (see Non-Patent Document 4). The main features introduced include high-order 64QAM modulation, V2X carrier aggregation, short TTI transmission, and feasibility studies of transmit diversity.
[0019] At the 3GPP RAN#80 plenary meeting in June 2018, the corresponding third phase V2X feasibility study topic based on 5G NR network technology (see non-patent document 5) was approved.
[0020] At the 3GPP RAN1#98 meeting in August 2019 (see Non-Patent Document 6), the following conclusions were reached regarding resource reservation and indication for transmission mode 2 in NR sidelink:
[0021] ■ In NR sidelink, at least for transmission mode 2, the maximum number of sidelink communication resources reserved for a single sidelink communication transmission (including the secondary sidelink communication transmission) is [2 or 3 or 4].
[0022] Regardless of whether HARQ retransmission is enabled or disabled in sideline communication, the maximum number of reserved sideline communication resources remains the same. For example, if HARQ retransmission is enabled, the maximum number of sideline communication resources reserved for a single sideline communication transmission is 3. If HARQ retransmission is disabled, the maximum number of sideline communication resources reserved for a single sideline communication transmission is also 3.
[0023] At the 3GPP RAN1#98bis meeting in October 2019 (see Non-Patent Document 7), the following conclusions were reached regarding the maximum number of sideline communication resources reserved for the above-mentioned primary sideline communication transmission:
[0024] ■The maximum number of sidelink communication resources reserved for a sidelink communication transmission is 2 or 3. The value 4 is not supported in NR sidelink.
[0025] ■When the reservation of the initial transmission sideline communication resources of a certain TB through the indication information in the SCI corresponding to another TB is disabled, the maximum number of sideline communication resources reserved for a single sideline communication transmission is 3.
[0026] ■The maximum number of sideline communication resources reserved for a sideline communication transmission is 2 or 3, which is configured in the configuration information of the sideline communication resource pool, or is pre-configured.
[0027] The solution of the present invention mainly includes a method for NR side communication user equipment to determine the time domain resource allocation indication field value in the side communication control information SCI.

[0130] The following is a description of the prior art associated with the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the same terms in the specific embodiments and the prior art have the same meanings.
[0131] It is worth noting that V2X and sidelink in this specification have the same meaning. V2X in this document can also refer to sidelink; similarly, sidelink in this document can also refer to V2X. No specific distinction or limitation is made in the following text.
[0132] The resource allocation mode of V2X (sidelink) communication in the specification of the present invention can be equivalently replaced with the transmission mode of V2X (sidelink) communication. The resource allocation mode mentioned in the specification can represent the transmission mode, and the transmission mode mentioned can represent the resource allocation mode. In NR sidelink communication, transmission mode 1 represents a transmission mode (resource allocation mode) based on base station scheduling; transmission mode 2 represents a transmission mode (resource allocation mode) based on user equipment sensing and resource selection.
[0133] The PSCCH in the specification of the present invention is used to carry SCI. The PSCCH corresponding to, or corresponding to, or related to, or scheduled PSSCH involved in the specification of the present invention have the same meaning, all indicating associated PSSCH or corresponding PSSCH. Similarly, the SCI (including first-level SCI and second-level SCI) corresponding to, or corresponding to, or related to, the PSSCH involved in the specification have the same meaning, all indicating associated SCI or corresponding SCI. It is worth noting that the first-level SCI is called 1st stage SCI or SCI format 0-1, which is transmitted in PSCCH; the second-level SCI is called 2nd stage SCI or SCI format 0-2, which is transmitted in the corresponding PSSCH resources.
[0134] In the description of the present invention It means to perform a sum operation on f(1), f(2), ..., f(m-1).
[0135] In the present invention, the sidelink communication scheduling information transmitted by the base station indicates that the number of sidelink communication time-frequency resources is N. On the i-th (1≤i≤N) sidelink communication resource, if the user equipment transmits the PSCCH and the corresponding PSSCH, the corresponding indication field in the SCI is set according to the method of this patent, such as the time domain resource allocation indication field in SCI format 0-1. It is worth noting that the user equipment may not transmit the PSCCH and the corresponding PSSCH on the sidelink communication resource indicated by a certain base station, and the present invention does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0136] Sidelink communication scenarios
[0137] 1) Out-of-Coverage sidelink communication: Both UEs performing sidelink communication have no network coverage (for example, the UE cannot detect any cell that meets the "cell selection criteria" on the frequency required for sidelink communication, indicating that the UE has no network coverage).
[0138] 2) In-Coverage Sidelink Communication: Both UEs performing sidelink communication have network coverage (for example, the UE detects at least one cell that meets the "cell selection criteria" on the frequency required for sidelink communication, indicating that the UE has network coverage).
[0139] 3) Partial-Coverage Sidelink Communication: One of the UEs performing sidelink communication has no network coverage, while the other UE has network coverage.
[0140] From the UE's perspective, there are only two scenarios: no network coverage and network coverage. Partial network coverage is described from the perspective of sidelink communication.
[0141] The basic process of LTE V2X (sidelink) communication
[0142] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram showing LTE V2X UE sideline communication. First, UE1 sends sideline communication control information (SCI format 1) to UE2, which is carried by the physical layer channel PSCCH. SCI format 1 contains scheduling information of PSSCH, such as the frequency domain resources of PSSCH. Secondly, UE1 sends sideline communication data to UE2, which is carried by the physical layer channel PSSCH. PSCCH and the corresponding PSSCH adopt frequency division multiplexing, that is, PSCCH and the corresponding PSSCH are located in the same subframe in the time domain and in different RBs in the frequency domain. The specific design of PSCCH and PSSCH is as follows:
[0143] 1) The PSCCH occupies one subframe in the time domain and two consecutive RBs in the frequency domain. The scrambling sequence is initialized using a predefined value of 510. The PSCCH can carry SCI format 1, which contains at least the frequency domain resource information of the PSSCH. For example, in the frequency domain resource indication field, SCI format 1 indicates the starting sub-channel number and the number of consecutive sub-channels of the PSSCH corresponding to the PSCCH.
[0144] 2)PSSCH occupies one subframe in the time domain and uses frequency division multiplexing (FDM) with the corresponding PSCCH.PSSCH occupies one or more consecutive sub-channels in the frequency domain. Sub-channel represents n in the frequency domain. subCHsize consecutive RBs, n subCHsizeConfigured by RRC parameters, the starting sub-channel and the number of consecutive sub-channels are indicated by the frequency domain resource indication field of SCI format 1.
[0145] LTE V2X Resource Allocation: Transmission Mode 3 / 4
[0146] Figure 2 Figure 3 shows two resource allocation modes for LTE V2X, namely base station scheduling-based resource allocation (Transmission Mode 3) and UE sensing-based resource allocation (Transmission Mode 4). In NR sideline communications, LTE V2X transmission mode 3 corresponds to NR V2X transmission mode 1, which is a base station scheduling-based transmission mode; LTE V2X transmission mode 4 corresponds to NR V2X transmission mode 2, which is a UE sensing-based transmission mode. In LTE V2X, when there is eNB network coverage, the base station can configure the UE's resource allocation method, or the UE's transmission mode, through UE-level dedicated RRC signaling (SL-V2X-ConfigDedicated), specifically:
[0147] 1) Resource allocation based on base station scheduling (Transmission Mode 3): The resource allocation based on base station scheduling means that the frequency domain resources used for sidelink communication come from the scheduling of the base station. Transmission Mode 3 includes two scheduling modes: dynamic scheduling and semi-persistent scheduling (SPS). For dynamic scheduling, the UL grant (DCI format 5A) includes the frequency domain resources of the PSSCH, and the CRC of the PDCCH or EPDCCH carrying the DCI format 5A is scrambled by the SL-V-RNTI. For SPS semi-persistent scheduling, the base station configures one or more (up to 8) configured scheduling grants (configured grant) through the IE: SPS-ConfigSL-r14. Each configured scheduling grant contains a scheduling grant number (index) and the resource period of the scheduling grant. The UL grant (DCI format 5A) includes the frequency domain resources of the PSSCH, as well as the indication information (3 bits) of the scheduling grant number and the indication information of SPS activation (activation) or release (release, or deactivation). The CRC of the PDCCH or EPDCCH carrying DCI format 5A is scrambled by the SL-SPS-V-RNTI.
[0148] Specifically, when the RRC signaling SL-V2X-ConfigDedicated is set to scheduled-r14, it means that the UE is configured as a transmission mode based on base station scheduling. The base station configures SL-V-RNTI or SL-SPS-V-RNTI through RRC signaling, and sends an uplink scheduling grant UL grant to the UE through PDCCH or EPDCCH (DCI format 5A, CRC is encrypted with SL-V-RNTI or SL-SPS-V-RNTI). The above-mentioned uplink scheduling grant UL grant contains at least the scheduling information of the PSSCH frequency domain resources in the sidelink communication. When the UE successfully monitors the PDCCH or EPDCCH encrypted by SL-V-RNTI or SL-SPS-V-RNTI, the PSSCH frequency domain resource indication field in the uplink scheduling grant UL grant (DCI format 5A) is used as the indication information of the frequency domain resources of the PSSCH in the PSCCH (SCI format 1), and the PSCCH (SCIformat 1) and the corresponding PSSCH are sent.
[0149] For semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) in transmission mode 3, the UE receives DCI format 5A scrambled with SL-SPS-V-RNTI in downlink subframe n. If DCI format 5A contains SPS activation indication information, the UE determines the frequency domain resources of the PSSCH based on the indication information in DCI format 5A and determines the time domain resources of the PSSCH (the subframe in which the PSSCH is transmitted) based on information such as subframe n.
[0150] 2) Resource allocation based on UE sensing (Transmission Mode 4): The resource allocation based on UE sensing means that the resources used for sidelink communication are based on the UE's sensing process of the candidate available resource set. When the RRC signaling SL-V2X-ConfigDedicated is set to ue-Selected-r14, it indicates that the UE is configured for a transmission mode based on UE sensing. In the transmission mode based on UE sensing, the base station configures the available transmission resource pool, and the UE determines the sidelink transmission resources of the PSSCH in the transmission resource pool according to certain rules (for a detailed description of the process, see the LTE V2X UE sensing process section), and sends the PSCCH (SCI format 1) and the corresponding PSSCH.
[0151] Sidelink resource pool
[0152] In sidelink communication, the resources used by the UE for both transmission and reception belong to the resource pool. For example, for a transmission mode based on base station scheduling in sidelink communication, the base station schedules transmission resources for the sidelink UE in the resource pool, or for a transmission mode based on UE perception in sidelink communication, the UE determines transmission resources in the resource pool.
[0153] Parameter set (numerology) in NR (including NR sidelink) and time in NR (including NR sidelink) slot
[0154] The parameter set numerology includes two aspects: subcarrier spacing and cyclic prefix (CP) length. NR supports five subcarrier spacings: 15k, 30k, 60k, 120k, and 240kHz (corresponding to μ = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4). Table 4.2-1 shows the supported transmission parameter sets, as shown below.
[0155] Table 4.2-1 Subcarrier spacing supported by NR
[0156] μ <![CDATA[Δf=2 μ ·15[kHz]]]> CP (Cyclic Prefix) 0 15 normal 1 30 normal 2 60 Normal, Extended 3 120 normal 4 240 normal
[0157] Extended CP is supported only when μ = 2, that is, with a 60kHz subcarrier spacing. For other subcarrier spacings, only normal CP is supported. For normal CP, each slot contains 14 OFDM symbols; for extended CP, each slot contains 12 OFDM symbols. For μ = 0, that is, with a 15kHz subcarrier spacing, 1 slot = 1ms; for μ = 1, that is, with a 30kHz subcarrier spacing, 1 slot = 0.5ms; for μ = 2, that is, with a 60kHz subcarrier spacing, 1 slot = 0.25ms, and so on.
[0158] NR and LTE have the same definition of subframe, which is 1ms. For the subcarrier spacing configuration μ, the slot number within 1 subframe (1ms) can be expressed as Range is 0 to The slot number within a system frame (frame, duration 10ms) can be expressed as Range is 0 to in, and The definitions of different subcarrier spacing μ are shown in the following table.
[0159] Table 4.3.2-1: Number of symbols in each slot, number of slots in each system frame, and number of slots in each subframe under normal CP
[0160]
[0161] Table 4.3.2-2: Number of symbols per slot, number of slots per system frame, and number of slots per subframe when using extended CP (60kHz)
[0162]
[0163] On NR carriers, the system frame (or simply frame) number (SFN) ranges from 0 to 1023. The concept of a direct system frame number (DFN) is introduced for sidelink communications, also ranging from 0 to 1023. The above description of the relationship between system frames and numerology also applies to direct system frames. For example, the duration of a direct system frame is also equal to 10ms. For a 15kHz subcarrier spacing, a direct system frame consists of 10 time slots, and so on. DFN is used for timing on the sidelink carrier.
[0164] LTE (including LTE V2X) parameter sets and LTE (including LTE V2X) slots and subframes
[0165] LTE only supports a subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz. LTE supports both extended and normal carrier spacing (CP). A subframe is 1 ms long and consists of two time slots, each 0.5 ms long.
[0166] For a normal CP, each subframe contains 14 OFDM symbols, and each slot in the subframe contains 7 OFDM symbols; for an extended CP, each subframe contains 12 OFDM symbols, and each slot in the subframe contains 6 OFDM symbols.
[0167] Resource blocks RB and resource elements RE
[0168] Resource blocks RB are defined in the frequency domain as For example, for a subcarrier spacing of 15kHz, the RB is 180kHz in the frequency domain. μ , the resource element RE represents 1 subcarrier in the frequency domain and 1 OFDM symbol in the time domain.
[0169] The maximum number of sideline communication resources reserved for a sideline communication transmission
[0170] In the specification of this patent, the maximum number of sideline communication resources reserved for a sideline communication transmission represents the maximum number of sideline communication resources indicated in the current sideline communication transmission (using N max The maximum number of sideline communication resources includes the current sideline communication resources. max=3, in a certain sideline communication transmission, an additional time-frequency resource of up to two sideline communications can be indicated by SCI, that is, an additional time-frequency resource of one sideline communication, or two time-frequency resources of sideline communication, or no additional time-frequency resource of sideline communication is indicated in SCI. max , there are still the following instructions:
[0171] ■The maximum number of sideline communication resources reserved for a sideline communication transmission is 2 or 3, that is, N max =2,3.
[0172] ■When the initial transmission sideline communication resource reservation of a TB is disabled by the indication information in the SCI corresponding to another TB, the maximum number of sideline communication resources N reserved for a sideline communication transmission is max is 3.
[0173] ■N max =2 or 3 is configured in the configuration information of the sideline communication resource pool, or pre-configured.
[0174] NR sideline communication DCI format (format) 3 0 and the time domain resource indication field in SCI format 0-1 interpretation
[0175] In NR sideline communication, DCI format 3_0 is used to schedule PSCCH and PSSCH for transmission mode 1. SCI format 0-1 is used to schedule PSSCH and the second-level SCI carried on PSSCH. In both DCI format 3_0 and SCI format 0-1, a time domain resource indication field (or field) is included. In addition, the interpretation of the time domain resource indication field in DCI format 3_0 and SCI format 0-1 is the same, as shown below (the value of the time domain resource indication field is expressed as TRIV):
[0176] ■If N=1,
[0177] Then, TRIV = 0;
[0178] ■ Otherwise, if N=2,
[0179] Then, TRIV = T1;
[0180] Otherwise
[0181] If (T2-T1-1)≤15
[0182] Then, TRIV = 30(T2-T1-1)+T1+31;
[0183] ·otherwise,
[0184] ○Then, TRIV=30(31-T2+T1)+62-T1.
[0185] Where N represents the number of resources actually indicated for sideline communication, satisfying N≤N max .
[0186] Wherein, T1 represents the time domain offset of the additional first sideline communication resource, T2 represents the time domain offset of the additional second sideline communication resource, and they satisfy:
[0187] ■For N=2, 1≤T1≤31;
[0188] ■For N=3, 1≤T1≤30, T1<T2≤31.
[0189] The above-mentioned interpretation of the time domain resource indication field is a one-to-one mapping method. That is, when the user equipment receives DCI format 3_0 or SCI format 0-1, based on the value TRIV of the time domain resource indication field, combined with the calculation and mapping relationship between TRIV and T1 and T2, a unique T1 (equivalent to determining N=2) or a unique set (T1, T2) (equivalent to determining N=3) can be determined, or N=1 (indicating no additional sidelink communication resource indication, only the current resource indication). It is worth noting that for N=1, TRIV=0; for N=2, 1≤TRIV≤31; for N=3, TRIV>31.
[0190] NR side communication DCI format (format) 3 0 and SCI format (format) 0-1 in the frequency domain resource indication field interpretation
[0191] For NR sideline communication, similar to LTE V2X, the allocation of frequency domain resources is based on subchannels. A subchannel contains multiple RBs, and the allocation of frequency domain resources is an integer number of subchannels.
[0192] Both DCI format 3_0 and SCI format 0-1 contain a frequency domain resource indication field (or field). Furthermore, the interpretation of the frequency domain resource indication field in DCI format 3_0 and SCI format 0-1 is the same, as shown below (the value of the frequency domain resource indication field is represented by r):
[0193] ■For N max =2,
[0194] ·but,
[0195] ■For N max =3,
[0196] ·but,
[0197]
[0198] in,
[0199] ■ Indicates the number of (pre-)configured subchannels in the resource pool configuration information;
[0200] ■f2 represents the index (or number) of the lowest subchannel of the second sideline communication resource;
[0201] ■f3 represents the index (or number) of the lowest subchannel of the third sideline communication resource;
[0202] ■m represents the number of subchannels allocated in the frequency domain.
[0203] When the user equipment determines N max After taking the value, the UE can determine a unique set of f2 and m, or a unique set of f2, f3 and m, based on the value r of the frequency domain resource indication field in the received DCI format 3_0 or SCI format 0-1, combined with the above calculation method for determining r.
[0204] The difference between the interpretation of the frequency domain resource indication field and the interpretation of the time domain resource indication field
[0205] The differences between the frequency domain resource allocation indication FDRA and the time domain resource allocation indication TDRA in NR sideline communication mainly include the following two points:
[0206] ■ Based on the TDRA indication, the UE obtains the interval indication information in the time domain; based on the FDRA indication, the UE obtains the index (or number) of the starting (or lowest) subcarrier in the frequency domain and the number of allocated subchannels in the frequency domain;
[0207] ■ The method for determining the value r of FDRA (and the method for determining f2, f3 and m based on r) includes N max (Pre) configuration information.
