Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technologies, and particularly to a data processing method and related devices. Background Art

[0002] In the unlicensed New Radio (NR-U) system of Frame Based Equipment (FBE), a communication device has a Listen Before Talk (LBT) opportunity at the beginning of a fixed frame period. If the LBT is successful, data can be sent in this fixed frame period; if the LBT fails, data cannot be sent in this fixed frame period. That is to say, the channel resources available for a communication device to send services appear periodically, but the services to be transmitted by the communication device may not appear periodically. Therefore, there may be a situation where in a certain fixed frame period, the communication device does not need to transmit services. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In a third aspect, an embodiment of this application provides a communication device, including a processor, a memory, a transceiver, and one or more programs.

[0028] The terms used in the implementation manner part of the present application are only used to explain the specific embodiments of the present application, rather than aiming to limit the present application. The terms "first", "second", "third", and "fourth" in the specification, claims, and drawings of the present application are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0029] Embodiments of the present application can be applied to various communication systems, such as: Global System of Mobile communication (GSM) system, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, Advanced long term evolution (LTE-A) system, New Radio (NR) system, evolved system of NR system, LTE-based access to unlicensed spectrum (LTE-U) system, NR-based access to unlicensed spectrum (NR-U) system, FBE's NR-U system, Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), Wireless Fidelity (WiFi), next-generation communication system or other communication systems, etc.

[0030] Generally speaking, traditional communication systems support a limited number of connections and are easy to implement. However, with the development of communication technologies, mobile communication systems will not only support traditional communications, but also support, for example, Device to Device (D2D) communication, Machine to Machine (M2M) communication, Machine Type Communication (MTC), and Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication, etc. Embodiments of the present application can also be applied to these communication systems.

[0031] Optionally, the communication system in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to a Carrier Aggregation (CA) scenario, can also be applied to a Dual Connectivity (DC) scenario, and can also be applied to a Standalone (SA) networking scenario.

[0032] The spectrum applied in the embodiments of the present application is not limited. For example, the embodiments of the present application can be applied to licensed spectrum or unlicensed spectrum.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1A , Figure 1A which is a schematic diagram of a communication system architecture provided by the embodiments of the present application. The communication system includes a network device and a terminal device. As Figure 1A shown, the network device can communicate with the terminal device. The communication system can be a 5G communication system (such as New Radio (NR)), a communication system integrating multiple communication technologies (such as a communication system integrating LTE technology and NR technology), or a subsequent evolved communication system. Figure 1A The forms and numbers of the network device and the terminal device shown in

[0034] are only for illustration and do not limit the embodiments of the present application. The terminal device in the present application is a device with wireless communication functions. It can be deployed on land, including indoors or outdoors, handheld, wearable or vehicle-mounted; it can also be deployed on water (such as a ship, etc.); it can also be deployed in the air (such as an airplane, a balloon, a satellite, etc.). The terminal device can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer (Pad), a computer with wireless transceiver functions, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal in industrial control, a wireless terminal in self-driving, a wireless terminal in remote medical, a wireless terminal in smart grid, a wireless terminal in smart home, etc. The terminal device can also be a handheld device, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a computer device with wireless communication functions, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, etc. In different networks, the terminal device can be called different names, such as: terminal device, access terminal, user unit, user station, mobile station, mobile device, remote station, remote terminal, mobile device, user terminal, terminal, wireless communication device, user agent or user device, cellular phone, cordless phone, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a terminal device in a 5G network or a future evolved network, etc.

[0035] The network device in this application is a device deployed in a radio access network to provide wireless communication functions. For example, the network device can be a radio access network (RAN) device on the access network side in a cellular network. A so-called RAN device is a device that connects a terminal device to a wireless network, including but not limited to: evolved Node B (eNB), radio network controller (RNC), Node B (NB), Base Station Controller (BSC), Base Transceiver Station (BTS), home base station (for example, Home evolved Node B, or Home Node B, HNB), Base Band Unit (BBU), Mobility Management Entity (MME); for another example, the network device can also be a node device in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), such as an access controller (AC), a gateway, or a WIFI access point (Access Point, AP); for another example, the network device can also be a transmission node or transmission reception point (TRP or TP) in an NR system, etc.

[0036] Unlicensed spectrum is the spectrum allocated by a country or region for use by radio devices in communication. This spectrum is generally considered shared spectrum, that is, as long as the communication devices in different communication systems meet the regulatory requirements set by the country or region on this spectrum, they can use this spectrum without applying to the government for exclusive spectrum authorization.

[0037] In order to enable various communication systems using unlicensed spectrum for wireless communication to coexist amicably on this spectrum, some countries or regions have stipulated the regulatory requirements that must be met for using unlicensed spectrum. For example, communication devices follow the "LBT" principle, that is, before a communication device sends a signal on a channel of unlicensed spectrum, it needs to first perform channel sensing. Only when the channel sensing result indicates that the channel is idle can the communication device send a signal; if the channel sensing result of the communication device on a channel of unlicensed spectrum indicates that the channel is busy, the communication device cannot send a signal. To ensure fairness, in one transmission, the duration for which a communication device uses a channel of unlicensed spectrum for signal transmission cannot exceed the Maximum Channel Occupancy Time (MCOT).

[0038] On unlicensed spectrum, before a network device transmits a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), it needs to perform Listen Before Talk (LBT). Only when LBT is successful can it transmit; if LBT fails, it cannot transmit. Therefore, on unlicensed spectrum, it is opportunistic transmission.

[0039] From the perspective of network deployment, there are two types of LBT methods. One is the channel access method of Load based equipment (LBE), that is, a communication device can detect the channel on unlicensed spectrum after traffic arrives and start transmitting signals after successful channel detection; the other is the channel access method of FBE.

[0040] As Figure 1B shown, in the channel access method of FBE, the frame structure appears periodically. Within one frame structure, it includes a Fixed Frame Period (the length ranges from, for example, 1 to 10 ms), a Channel Occupancy Time (COT) (the length does not exceed 95% of the fixed frame period), and an idle time (the length is at least 5% of the channel occupancy time, with a minimum value of 100 us and located at the end of the fixed frame period).

[0041] A communication device performs LBT channel detection (or Clear Channel Assessment (CCA)) on the channel during the idle time. If the channel detection is successful, the channel occupancy time in the next fixed frame period can be used to transmit signals; if the channel detection fails, the channel occupancy time in the next fixed frame period cannot be used to transmit signals, that is, the channel resources available for a communication device to send traffic appear periodically.

[0042] The way a communication device performs LBT channel detection on the channel during the idle time is Cat-2 LBT. Among them, Cat-2 LBT means detecting a detection time slot, also known as LBT without random backoff; or, Cat-2 LBT means detecting a detection time slot. If the channel is idle within this detection time slot, signals can be transmitted, and if the channel is occupied within this detection time slot, signals cannot be transmitted.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 2A , Figure 2A which is a schematic flowchart of a data processing method provided by an embodiment of this application, applied to a communication device. The communication device includes a user equipment or a network device, and includes the following steps:

[0044] Step 201: If the resources in the frame period are not used for user data transmission, and the resources in the frame period include preconfigured resources for periodic signal and / or channel transmission, then transmit the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resources, or abandon transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resources.

[0045] Wherein, if the communication device includes a user equipment, the preconfigured resources are preconfigured uplink resources; if the communication device includes a network device, the preconfigured resources are preconfigured downlink resources.

[0046] Wherein, if the communication device includes a user equipment, the periodic signal and / or channel includes at least one of the following: Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH), Configured Grant (CG)-Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) for uplink resources, Sounding Reference Signal (SRS).

[0047] Wherein, the communication device includes a network device, and the periodic signal and / or channel includes at least one of the following: Synchronization Signal / PBCH Block (SSB), Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH), Discovery Reference Signal (DRS), CG-Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), Remaining minimum system information (RMSI), System Information (SI), Paging, Channel State Information (CSI)-Reference Signal (RS).

[0048] In an implementation of the present application, the starting position of the frame period is at a first offset length from the starting position of the preconfigured resource, the first offset length is greater than 0, and the communication device successfully detects the channel on the first channel detection time slot corresponding to the frame period; the transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, or abandoning the transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, includes:

[0049] If the communication device successfully detects the channel on the second channel detection time slot within the first time interval, then transmit the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, the starting position of the first time interval is at a first delay length from the starting position of the frame period, the first delay length is less than the first offset length, the ending position of the first time interval is the starting position of the preconfigured resource, and the second channel detection time slot is after the first channel detection time slot;

[0050] If the communication device fails to detect the channel on the second channel detection time slot, then abandon transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource.

[0051] Wherein, the channel detection includes single-slot channel detection, such as Cat-2 LBT.

[0052] Wherein, the detection duration of the channel detection includes 25 microseconds or 16 microseconds.

[0053] For example, the communication device starts to perform channel detection at the starting position of the first channel detection time slot. If the channel detection is successful before the ending position of the first channel detection time slot, then the communication device starts to perform channel detection at the starting position of the second channel detection time slot. If the channel detection is successful before the ending position of the second channel detection time slot, then the communication device transmits the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, as Figure 2B shown; if the channel detection fails before the ending position of the second channel detection time slot, then the communication device abandons transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, as Figure 2C shown.

[0054] In an implementation of the present application, the communication device successfully detects the channel on the third channel detection time slot corresponding to the frame period; the transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, or abandoning the transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, includes:

[0055] If the communication device continuously succeeds in channel detection within the second time interval, then the periodic signal and / or channel is transmitted on the pre-configured resource. The starting position of the second time interval is the starting position of the frame period, and the ending position of the second time interval is the starting position of the pre-configured resource;

[0056] If the communication device fails in channel detection at least once within the second time interval, then the transmission of the periodic signal and / or channel on the pre-configured resource is abandoned.

[0057] For example, the communication device starts channel detection at the starting position of the third channel detection time slot. If the channel detection is successful before the ending position of the third channel detection time slot, then the communication device starts continuous channel detection at the starting position of the second time interval. If the continuous channel detection is successful before the ending position of the second time interval, then the periodic signal and / or channel is transmitted on the pre-configured resource, as Figure 2D shown; if the channel detection fails at least once before the ending position of the second time interval, then the transmission of the periodic signal and / or channel on the pre-configured resource is abandoned, as Figure 2E shown.

[0058] Wherein, the second time interval includes at least one channel detection time slot.

[0059] Wherein, the at least one channel detection failure means that at least one of the at least one channel detection time slots detects that the channel is occupied.

[0060] In an implementation manner of the present application, the starting position of the frame period is the same as the starting position of the pre-configured resource; the transmission of the periodic signal and / or channel on the pre-configured resource, or the abandonment of the transmission of the periodic signal and / or channel on the pre-configured resource, includes:

[0061] If the communication device succeeds in channel detection on the fourth channel detection time slot corresponding to the frame period, then the periodic signal and / or channel is transmitted on the pre-configured resource;

[0062] If the communication device fails in channel detection on the fourth channel detection time slot, then the transmission of the periodic signal and / or channel on the pre-configured resource is abandoned.

[0063] For example, the communication device starts channel detection at the starting position of the fourth channel detection time slot. If the channel detection is successful before the ending position of the fourth channel detection time slot, then the periodic signal and / or channel is transmitted on the pre-configured resource, as Figure 2FAs shown; if channel detection fails before the termination position of the fourth channel detection time slot, transmission of the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource is abandoned, as Figure 2G shown.

[0064] Wherein, the communication device includes a user equipment, and the start position of the frame period is determined based on the start position of at least one preconfigured resource configured by the network device.

[0065] Wherein, the at least one preconfigured resource includes the preconfigured resource.

[0066] Wherein, the start positions at which the periodic signal and / or channel are transmitted in different frame periods may be the same or different. For example, an SSB is transmitted at the start position of a frame period, and a CSI-RS is transmitted at the start position of a second frame period. Another example is that a GC-PDCCH is transmitted at the start positions of both the frame period and the second frame period.

[0067] In an implementation manner of the present application, the communication device successfully detects a channel on a fifth channel detection time slot corresponding to the frame period; the transmission of the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, or the abandonment of the transmission of the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, includes:

[0068] If the communication device determines that the channel corresponding to the third time interval is continuously occupied by the communication device, the periodic signal and / or channel are transmitted on the preconfigured resource, the start position of the third time interval is the start position of the frame period, and the termination position of the third time interval is the start position of the preconfigured resource;

[0069] If the communication device determines that the channel corresponding to the third time interval is not continuously occupied by the communication device, the transmission of the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource is abandoned.

[0070] Wherein, the communication device sends a reservation signal on the channel corresponding to the third time interval to occupy the channel.

[0071] For example, the communication device starts channel detection at the start position of the fifth channel detection time slot. If channel detection is successful before the termination position of the fifth channel detection time slot, the communication device determines whether there is a reservation signal sent by the communication device on the channel corresponding to the third time interval. If there is a reservation signal sent by the communication device on the channel corresponding to the third time interval, the periodic signal and / or channel are transmitted on the preconfigured resource, as Figure 2H shown; if there is no reservation signal sent by the communication device on the channel corresponding to the third time interval, the periodic signal and / or channel are transmitted on the preconfigured resource, as Figure 2I shown.

[0072] In one implementation of the present application, the frame period includes at least two preconfigured resources, and the preconfigured resource is the preconfigured resource with the earliest starting position within the at least two preconfigured resources during the frame period, as Figure 2J shown.

[0073] In the present application, the abandonment of transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource means that the communication device does not transmit the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource within the frame period.

[0074] In one implementation of the present application, after abandoning the transmission of the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, the method further includes:

[0075] Attempting to transmit the periodic signal and / or channel in at least one frame period after the frame period until the periodic signal and / or channel is successfully transmitted.

[0076] Wherein, the communication device attempting to transmit the periodic signal and / or channel in a certain frame period means that the communication device determines whether the periodic signal and / or channel can be transmitted in the certain frame period (for the determination method, please refer to the above content and will not be described herein again). If it can be transmitted, the periodic signal and / or channel is transmitted in the certain frame period. If it cannot be transmitted, the transmission of the periodic signal and / or channel is abandoned in the certain frame period, that is, the attempt to transmit fails.

[0077] For example, after the communication device does not transmit the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource within the frame period, the communication device attempts to transmit the periodic signal and / or channel in the next frame period of the frame period. If the attempt to transmit fails, the communication device attempts to transmit the periodic signal and / or channel in the next frame period of the next frame period, and so on until the periodic signal and / or channel is successfully transmitted.

[0078] It can be seen that in the embodiments of the present application, in the case where user data transmission is not included in the frame period and the frame period includes preconfigured resources for transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel, the communication device can transmit the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, or abandon the transmission of the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, which can not only ensure resource sharing but also make the resources be utilized more efficiently.

[0079] It should be noted that the lengths of the first channel detection time slot, the third channel detection time slot, the fourth channel detection time slot, and the fifth channel detection time slot may be the same or different.

[0080] Please refer toFigure 3 , Figure 3 Figure 3 is a communication device provided by an embodiment of the present application. The communication device includes a user equipment or a network equipment, and the communication device includes: one or more processors, one or more memories, one or more transceivers, and one or more programs;

[0082] If the resources in the frame period are not used for user data transmission, and the frame period includes preconfigured resources for periodic signal and / or channel transmission, then transmit the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resources, or abandon transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resources.

[0083] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, when the frame period does not include user data transmission and the frame period includes preconfigured resources for periodic signal and / or channel transmission, the communication device can transmit the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resources, or abandon transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resources, which can not only ensure resource sharing but also make the resources be utilized more efficiently.

[0084] In an implementation manner of the present application, the start position of the frame period is at a first offset length from the start position of the preconfigured resources, the first offset length is greater than 0, and the communication device successfully performs channel detection on a first channel detection time slot corresponding to the frame period; in terms of transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resources, or abandoning transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resources, the programs include instructions specifically for performing the following steps:

[0085] If the communication device successfully performs channel detection on a second channel detection time slot within a first time interval, then transmit the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resources. The start position of the first time interval is at a first delay length from the start position of the frame period, the first delay length is less than the first offset length, the end position of the first time interval is the start position of the preconfigured resources, and the second channel detection time slot is after the first channel detection time slot;

[0086] If the communication device fails to perform channel detection on the second channel detection time slot, then abandon transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resources.

[0087] In an implementation manner of the present application, the channel detection includes single-slot channel detection.

[0088] In an implementation manner of the present application, the detection duration of the channel detection includes 25 microseconds or 16 microseconds.

[0089] In an implementation manner of the present application, the communication device successfully performs channel detection in the third channel detection time slot corresponding to the frame period; in terms of transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, or abandoning the transmission of the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, the program includes instructions specifically for performing the following steps:

[0090] If the communication device continuously detects the channel successfully within the second time interval, transmit the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, where the starting position of the second time interval is the starting position of the frame period, and the ending position of the second time interval is the starting position of the preconfigured resource;

[0091] If the communication device fails to detect the channel at least once within the second time interval, abandon transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource.

[0092] In an implementation manner of the present application, the starting position of the frame period is the same as the starting position of the preconfigured resource; in terms of transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, or abandoning the transmission of the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, the program includes instructions specifically for performing the following steps:

[0093] If the communication device successfully performs channel detection in the fourth channel detection time slot corresponding to the frame period, transmit the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource;

[0094] If the communication device fails to detect the channel in the fourth channel detection time slot, abandon transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource.

[0095] In an implementation manner of the present application, the communication device includes a user equipment, and the starting position of the frame period is determined based on the starting position of at least one preconfigured resource configured by a network device.

[0096] In an implementation manner of the present application, the communication device successfully performs channel detection in the fifth channel detection time slot corresponding to the frame period; in terms of transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, or abandoning the transmission of the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, the program includes instructions specifically for performing the following steps:

[0097] If the communication device determines that the channel corresponding to the third time interval is continuously occupied by the communication device, then the periodic signal and / or channel is transmitted on the preconfigured resource. The starting position of the third time interval is the starting position of the frame period, and the ending position of the third time interval is the starting position of the preconfigured resource;

[0098] If the communication device determines that the channel corresponding to the third time interval is not continuously occupied by the communication device, then the transmission of the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource is abandoned.

[0099] In one implementation manner of the present application, the communication device sends a reservation signal on the channel corresponding to the third time interval to occupy the channel.

[0100] In one implementation manner of the present application, after abandoning the transmission of the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resource, the program further includes instructions for performing the following steps:

[0105] It should be noted that for the specific implementation process of this embodiment, reference may be made to the specific implementation process described in the above method embodiment, which will not be elaborated here.

[0106] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 which is a data processing device provided by an embodiment of the present application, applied to a communication device. The communication device includes a user equipment or a network device. The device includes:

[0107] A data processing unit 401, configured to, if resources in a frame period are not used for user data transmission and the resources in the frame period include preconfigured resources for periodic signal and / or channel transmission, transmit the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resources, or abandon transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resources.

[0108] It can be seen that in the embodiments of the present application, in the case where user data transmission is not included in the frame period and the frame period includes preconfigured resources for periodic signal and / or channel transmission, the communication device can transmit the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resources, or abandon transmitting the periodic signal and / or channel on the preconfigured resources, which can not only ensure resource sharing but also make the resources be utilized more efficiently.
