Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication processing technology, and in particular to a method for confirming HARQ-ACK feedback time and related products. Background Art

[0002] HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat request) is a technology that combines FEC (Forward Error Correction) and ARQ (Automatic Repeat request) methods. FEC adds redundant information so that the receiving end can correct some errors, thereby reducing the number of retransmissions. For errors that FEC cannot correct, the receiving end will request the sending end to resend the data through the ARQ mechanism. The receiving end uses an error detection code, usually a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) check, to detect whether the received data packet is erroneous. If there is no error, the receiving end will send a positive acknowledgment (ACK) to the sending end. After receiving the ACK, the sending end will continue to send the next data packet. If there is an error, the receiving end will discard the data packet and send a negative acknowledgment (NACK) to the sending end. After receiving the NACK, the sending end will resend the same data.

There is no order, nor does it represent a special limitation on the number of devices in the embodiments of the present application, and cannot constitute any limitation on the embodiments of the present application. The "connection" that appears in the embodiments of the present application refers to various connection methods such as direct connection or indirect connection to achieve communication between devices, and the embodiments of the present application do not make any limitations on this.

[0028] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1 The exemplary communication system 100 shown includes a terminal 110 and a network device 120 , wherein the terminal 110 is in communication connection with the network device 120 .

[0029] The example communication system 100 can be, for example: a Global System of Mobilecommunication (GSM) system, a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system, a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, an Advanced Long Term Evolution (LTE-A) system, a New Radio (NR) system, an evolved system of an NR system, an LTE system on an unlicensed spectrum (LTE-based access to unlicensed spectrum, LTE-U), an NR system on an unlicensed spectrum (NR-based access to unlicensed spectrum, NR-U), a Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), a next generation communication system or other communication systems, etc.

[0030] Generally speaking, the number of connections supported by traditional communication systems is limited and easy to implement. However, with the development of communication technology, mobile communication systems will not only support traditional communications, but will also support, for example, device to device (Device to Device, D2D) communication, machine to machine (Machine to Machine, M2M) communication, machine type communication (MachineType Communication, MTC), and vehicle to vehicle (Vehicle to Vehicle, V2V) communication, etc. The embodiments of the present application can also be applied to these communication systems. Optionally, the communication system in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to carrier aggregation (Carrier Aggregation, CA) scenarios, dual connectivity (Dual Connectivity, DC) scenarios, and standalone (Standalone, SA) networking scenarios.

[0031] The terminal 110 in the embodiment of the present application may refer to a user device, an access terminal, a user unit, a user station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a wireless communication device, a user agent or a user device. The terminal may also be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a session initiation protocol (SIP) phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a handheld device with wireless communication function, a computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, a relay device, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a terminal in a future 5G network or a terminal in a future evolved public land mobile communication network (PLMN), etc., and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0032] The network device 120 in the embodiment of the present application may be a device for communicating with a terminal. The network device may be an evolved NodeB (eNB or eNodeB) in an LTE system, or a wireless controller in a cloud radio access network (CRAN) scenario, or the network device may be a relay device, an access point, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, and a network device in a future 5G network or a network device in a future evolved PLMN network, one or a group of antenna panels (including multiple antenna panels) of a base station in a 5G system, or a network node constituting a gNB or a transmission point, such as a baseband unit (BBU) or a distributed unit (DU), etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0033] In some deployments, the gNB may include a centralized unit (CU) and a DU. The gNB may also include an active antenna unit (AAU). The CU implements some of the functions of the gNB, and the DU implements some of the functions of the gNB. For example, the CU is responsible for processing non-real-time protocols and services, and implements the functions of the radio resource control (RRC) and packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layers. The DU is responsible for processing physical layer protocols and real-time services, and implements the functions of the radio link control (RLC) layer, the media access control (MAC) layer, and the physical (PHY) layer.

[0034] HARQ-ACK timing (downlink data scheduling time). The control information indicates the transmission time and transmission position of the data channel. One transmission position scheme is that the feedback time of the data channel HARQ-ACK is a fixed time, and the other is the time indicated by the control information.

[0035] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 A method for confirming HARQ-ACK feedback time is provided, the method being applied to a user equipment UE, and the method comprising the following steps:

[0036] Step S201: UE obtains downlink control information of a service channel;

[0037] In an optional solution, the downlink control information may be DCI (Downlink Control Information) of a PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel).

[0038] Step S202: The UE determines the radio frame number where the HARQ-ACK is located according to the downlink control information and the configuration value P;

[0039] In an optional solution, the above configuration value P can be specifically determined by pre-configuration information. Of course, in actual applications, the above configuration value P can also be determined by high-level signaling, which includes but is not limited to: RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling or MAC CE (media access control-Control Element).

[0040] Step S203: The UE transmits the HARQ-ACK in a specific symbol of the radio frame number.

[0041] The first overhead symbol indicated by physical layer signaling or higher layer signaling in the radio frame in the above step S203.

[0042] The technical solution provided by the present application determines the radio frame number where the HARQ-ACK is located according to the downlink control information and the configuration value after acquiring the downlink control information of the service channel, and then transmits the HARQ-ACK in a specific symbol of the above radio frame number. The technical solution provided by the present application can directly determine the radio frame number where the HARQ-ACK is located according to the DCI and the configuration value, so that the feedback time of the HARQ-ACK can be directly determined, thereby realizing the determination of the feedback time of the HARQ-ACK.

[0043] In an optional solution, the implementation method of the above step S202 may specifically include:

[0044] If the downlink control information includes a Q bit indication, the UE determines the radio frame number where the HARQ-ACK is located according to the downlink control information and the configuration value P, specifically including:

[0045] Determine the indication value T according to the Q bit indication, and the UE determines the radio frame number where the HARQ-ACK is located as: the end radio frame number + T*P;

[0046] The superframe where the radio frame number is located is: traffic channel end superframe + floor (end radio frame number + T*P) / I;

[0047] I is the number of radio frames included in the end superframe of the service channel.

[0048] For example, if the preconfigured value P=6, according to Q=3 in the Q bit contained in the DCI, if the value represented by the 3-bit in the DCI is T=4, the end wireless frame is 7, and the wireless frame 31 is determined, the superframe can be the end superframe of the service signal, then it is transmitted within a specific symbol within the wireless frame 31 of the end superframe.

[0049] In another optional solution, the implementation method of the above step S202 may specifically include:

[0050] Determine the indication value T according to the Q bit indication, the UE obtains the processing time interval R, and the UE determines that the radio frame number where the HARQ-ACK is located is: the end radio frame number + R + T*P;

[0051] The superframe where the radio frame number is located is: traffic channel end superframe + floor (end radio frame number + R + T*P) / I;

[0052] I is the number of radio frames included in the end superframe of the service channel.

[0053] The above R may be a preset value, reported by a node, or obtained by high-level node configuration.

[0054] For example, if the RRC configuration value P=6, according to Q=3 in the Q bit contained in the DCI, if the value represented by the 3-bit in the DCI is T=4, the end wireless frame is 7, R=2, and the wireless frame 33 is determined, and the transmission is performed within a specific symbol within the wireless frame 33 of the end superframe.

[0055] In another optional solution, the implementation method of the above step S202 may specifically include:

[0056] If the downlink control information includes a Q bit indication and an S bit indication, the UE determining the radio frame number where the HARQ-ACK is located according to the downlink control information and the configuration value P may specifically include:

[0057] Determine whether to transmit the HARQ-ACK across superframes based on the S-bit indication. If the HARQ-ACK is determined to be transmitted across superframes based on the S-bit indication, determine the indication value T based on the Q-bit indication, and determine that the wireless frame number of the HARQ-ACK is T*P within the superframe where the service channel ends.

[0058] The S bit may specifically be 1 bit. If the S bit value is 0, it indicates the end superframe of the service channel. If the S bit value is 1, it indicates the next superframe of the end superframe of the service signal. Of course, in practical applications, the S bit value may be reversed, that is, if the S bit value is 1, it indicates the end superframe of the service channel. If the S bit value is 0, it indicates the next superframe of the end superframe of the service signal.

[0072] The calculation formula of step S402 may specifically include:

[0073] Radio frame number = end radio frame + R + T*P; that is, radio frame number = 7 + 2 + 4 * 6 = 33. Superframe = traffic channel end superframe + floor (end radio frame + T*P) / I)
