Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and more particularly to a method performed by a user equipment and a corresponding user equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In existing 5G / NR networks, three typical service models are defined: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine-type communication (mMTC), and ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC). In addition to these, there are also time-sensitive communication (TSC) services.
[0003] A key objective of 5G is to enable interconnected industries. 5G connectivity can act as a catalyst for the next wave of industrial transformation and digitalization, enhancing flexibility, increasing productivity and efficiency, reducing maintenance costs, and improving operational safety. Devices in this environment include pressure sensors, humidity sensors, thermometers, motion sensors, accelerometers, and actuators. These sensors and actuators need to be connected to the 5G wireless access network and core network. Documents such as TR 22.804 describe large-scale industrial wireless sensor network (IWSN) use cases and requirements, encompassing not only the very high-demand URLLC services but also relatively low-end services requiring smaller size and / or several years of battery life in wireless mode. The requirements for these services are higher than LPWA (Low Power Wide Area Network) but lower than URLCC and eMBB.
[0004] Similar to the internet industry, 5G interconnectivity can be a catalyst for the next wave of smart city innovation. As an example, TSR22.804 describes smart city use cases and requirements. Vertical coverage of data collection and processing in smart cities allows for more effective monitoring and control of urban resources and services for city residents. In particular, the deployment of surveillance cameras is a crucial component of smart cities, as well as in factories and industries.
[0005] Finally, examples of wearable devices include smartwatches / rings, eHealth-related devices, and medical monitoring devices. A key characteristic of this scenario is the requirement for compact device size.
[0006] As a baseline, the requirements for these three use cases are:
[0007] General requirements:
[0008] • Equipment complexity: The primary motivation for this new equipment type is to reduce equipment cost and complexity compared to eMBB and URLLC devices, especially in the case of industrial sensors.
[0009] • Device size: Most use cases require a compact device design.
[0010] • Deployment scenario: The system should support all FR1 / FR2 bands of FDD and TDD.
[0011] Specific requirements for use cases:
[0012] • Industrial Wireless Sensors: Use cases and requirements are described in TR 22.832 and TS 22.104: Communication service availability is 99.99%, and end-to-end latency is less than 100 milliseconds. The reference bit rate is less than 2 Mbps (potentially asymmetric, such as under uplink heavy load), and is smooth for all use cases and devices. Battery life should be at least several years. For safety-related sensors, lower latency requirements are needed, 5-10 ms (TR 22.804).
[0013] • Video surveillance: In TSR 22.804, the reference economic video bitrate is 2-4 Mbps, latency is less than 500 ms, and reliability is 99%-99.9%. High-end video, such as in agriculture, requires 7.5-25 Mbps. The business model is likely to be primarily based on UL transmission.
[0014] • Wearable devices: The reference bit rate for smart wearable applications can be 5-50 Mbps, with a minimum of 2-5 Mbps in DL. Devices can achieve higher peak bit rates, such as up to 150 Mbps downlink and up to 50 Mbps uplink. The device's battery should last 1-2 weeks.
[0015] New demand scenarios place higher demands on network transmission, especially as terminal devices need to achieve reception capabilities that match services under constraints such as smaller size, lower processing complexity, fewer antennas, and smaller bandwidth. These all require improvements to existing air interface resource allocation methods and channel transmission methods. Summary of the Invention
[0016] To address at least some of the aforementioned problems, the present invention provides a method and a user equipment executed by a user equipment, enabling terminals with limited bandwidth capabilities to access the network and perform related service transmissions, thereby enhancing the network's service capabilities, expanding network compatibility, and significantly reducing the cost of communication network deployment.

[0020] Preferably, if the BWP corresponding to the BWP configuration information contains all resource blocks (RBs) of CORESET0 and uses the same subcarrier spacing parameter and cyclic prefix parameter, the UE uses the bandwidth of CORESET0 and the subcarrier spacing parameter to determine at least one of the width, value, and location of the frequency domain indication field in the DCI and the location of the scheduled PDSCH resource; if the BWP corresponding to the BWP configuration information does not contain all RBs of CORESET0 or uses different subcarrier spacing parameters or different cyclic prefix parameters, the UE uses the bandwidth of the BWP and the subcarrier spacing parameter to determine at least one of the width, value, and location of the frequency domain indication field in the DCI and the location of the scheduled PDSCH resource.
[0021] Preferably, if the BWP corresponding to the BWP configuration information contains all resource blocks (RBs) of CORESET0 and uses the same subcarrier spacing parameter and cyclic prefix parameter, the UE uses the random access search space on the initial BWP of the cell to receive the PDCCH for the random access procedure of the UE; if the BWP corresponding to the BWP configuration information does not contain all RBs of CORESET0 or uses different subcarrier spacing parameters or different cyclic prefix parameters, the UE uses the random access search space on the BWP to receive the PDCCH for the random access procedure of the UE, and does not receive the PDCCH of the random access search space on the initial BWP of the cell.
[0022] Preferably, if the BWP corresponding to the BWP configuration information contains all resource blocks (RBs) of CORESET0 and uses the same subcarrier spacing parameter and cyclic prefix parameter, the UE uses the bandwidth of CORESET0 and the subcarrier spacing parameter to determine at least one of the width, value, and location of the frequency domain indication field in the DCI, and the location of the scheduled PDSCH resource; if the BWP corresponding to the BWP configuration information does not contain all RBs of CORESET0 and uses the same subcarrier spacing parameter and cyclic prefix parameter, the UE uses the bandwidth of CORESET0, the subcarrier spacing parameter, and the starting position of the BWP to determine at least one of the width, value, and location of the frequency domain indication field in the DCI, and the location of the scheduled PDSCH resource; if the BWP corresponding to the BWP configuration information does not contain all RBs of CORESET0 and uses different subcarrier spacing parameters or different cyclic prefix parameters, the UE uses the bandwidth of the BWP and the subcarrier spacing parameter to determine at least one of the width, value, and location of the frequency domain indication field in the DCI, and the location of the scheduled PDSCH resource.
[0023] Preferably, if the BWP corresponding to the BWP configuration information contains all resource blocks (RBs) of CORESET0 and uses the same subcarrier spacing parameter and cyclic prefix parameter, the UE uses the random access search space on the initial BWP of the cell to receive the PDCCH for the random access procedure of the UE; if the BWP corresponding to the BWP configuration information does not contain all RBs of CORESET0 and uses the same subcarrier spacing parameter and cyclic prefix parameter, the UE uses the CORESET on the BWP with the same size as CORESET0 to receive the PDCCH for the random access procedure of the UE, and does not receive the PDCCH for the random access procedure on the random access search space of the initial BWP of the cell; if the BWP corresponding to the BWP configuration information does not contain all RBs of CORESET0 and uses different subcarrier spacing parameters or different cyclic prefix parameters, the UE uses the CORESET on the BWP to receive the PDCCH for the random access procedure of the UE, and does not receive the PDCCH on the random access search space of the initial BWP of the cell.
[0024] Preferably, if the UE receives a BWP configured for the UE by the network, the UE uses the bandwidth of the BWP to determine at least one of the width, value, and location of the scheduled PDSCH resource in the DCI; if the UE does not receive a BWP configured for the UE by the network, the UE uses a cell-related initial BWP or CORESET0 to determine at least one of the width, value, and location of the scheduled PDSCH resource in the DCI.

[0123] The following is a description of prior art associated with the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the same terms in the specific embodiments have the same meaning as in the prior art.
[0124] It is worth noting that the user equipment and terminal equipment mentioned in this specification have the same meaning, and UE can also refer to a terminal. No specific distinction or limitation will be made thereafter. Similarly, network equipment refers to devices that communicate with terminals, including but not limited to base station equipment, gNB, eNB, wireless AP, etc., without specific distinction or limitation.
[0125] The network uses BWP configuration to determine information such as bandwidth required for service transmission with the terminal. BWP configuration includes parameters such as bandwidth, location, subcarrier spacing, and cyclic prefix. Data transmission between the network and the terminal occurs on the BWP. For example, the network can use scheduling information (DCI) in the PDCCH to indicate which symbols are used on which RBs of the BWP for the scheduled resource blocks, as well as other relevant receive or transmit configuration information, to transmit data with the terminal.
[0126] The network configures the CORESET on the BWP for PDCCH reception. The network also configures search space parameters to determine the CORESET that the terminal needs to detect and the corresponding time domain position and other parameters.
[0127] The network can configure an initial uplink BWP and an initial downlink BWP for the cell, which are used by the terminal for random access or data transmission. If the network does not configure the initial downlink BWP through the fields in the SIB1 signaling, the terminal will use the bandwidth determined by CORESET0 as the initial downlink BWP.
[0128] The terminal device can receive the PDCCH based on the received parameters and related protocol procedures. The PDCCH indicates the transmission configuration information of the scheduled PDSCH, including the PDSCH's time-frequency location, resource configuration, and other necessary parameters. The terminal receives the relevant PDSCH according to the PDSCH configuration parameters.
[0129] Network devices periodically send broadcast information containing parameters used to determine various cell configurations. For example, a cell sends MIB information indicating the CORESET and search space configuration information used to receive the PDCCH. Based on the PDCCH indication, the terminal can obtain the time-frequency position, bandwidth, and other relevant configuration parameters of the channel, such as SIB1 and other information, and obtain more relevant information for accessing the cell and transmitting data.
[0130] A concrete example is that the network indicates the relevant parameters for CORESET0 and Search Space 0 in the MIB, and the terminal can receive the PDCCH on the corresponding time-frequency resources. The PDCCH indicates the parameters of the PDSCH used to transmit SIB1. The terminal receives the PDSCH, obtains the SIB1 information, and acquires the configuration, parameters, and other information used for service transmission. The terminal can also receive other SIB information in a similar manner to obtain more service configuration information.
[0131] The SIB1 information can contain parameters for the terminal to perform random access and data transmission, such as downlink initial BWP parameters, uplink initial BWP parameters, random access channel parameters, and random access search space parameters. In a specific example, if the terminal meets the network access conditions, such as the uplink or downlink bandwidth supported by the terminal being greater than the uplink or downlink BWP bandwidth configured by the network, the terminal can access the network by sending a random access signal through the random access channel. Upon receiving the terminal's random access signal, the network responds and indicates relevant information through the PDCCH and scheduled PDSCH signals in the relevant common search space, such as notifying the UE to configure uplink transmission resources. The terminal initiates a relevant request on the indicated uplink resources, such as a radio network connection request signaling. The network can respond to this request and send appropriate response information through the PDCCH and scheduled PDSCH signals in the common search space, thereby establishing a radio link connection between the network and the terminal.
[0132] The network can also indicate configuration parameters for a certain type of terminal through SIB1 or other RRC signaling, enabling that type of terminal to perform random access or data transmission processes in the network.
[0133] A network can define terminal types or categories. For example, it can define a low-complexity terminal based on a specific physical layer capability or a combination of capabilities, such as the number of channels, processing time limits, maximum bandwidth, and duplex capability. A network can also define a terminal type to identify multiple capability sets with different combinations of capabilities. Terminal type information can be used by the network to allow or prohibit that type of terminal from accessing the network, to configure appropriate parameters for that type of terminal for its access or data transmission, or to restrict the use of certain parameters by that type of terminal.
[0134] For some terminal devices, when accessing a network, the received SIB1 information reveals that their maximum supported bandwidth is less than the bandwidth of the uplink initial BWP or downlink initial BWP indicated by the network, but greater than the maximum bandwidth the network uses to send SIB1 information. In this case, the network can configure these devices with an uplink and / or downlink BWP that is different from the uplink or downlink initial BWP. This BWP's bandwidth is less than or equal to the maximum bandwidth supported by the terminal device, allowing these terminal devices to perform random access within the cell, as well as send and receive relevant information. In this scenario, the network configuration enables terminals with limited bandwidth capabilities to access the network and perform related service transmissions even when the initial BWP bandwidth indicated in the network's SIB1 exceeds the terminal's capability. This improves the network's service capabilities, expands network compatibility, and significantly reduces the cost of communication network deployment. Simultaneously, this solution reduces the bandwidth requirements of the terminals, resulting in significant benefits in terms of terminal cost and compatibility.
[0135] The terminal receives network indication information sent by the system. If the maximum uplink or downlink transmission bandwidth supported by the terminal is less than or equal to the carrier bandwidth of the initial uplink or downlink BWP indicated by the network, and the uplink or downlink bandwidth supported by the terminal is greater than or equal to the BWP bandwidth configured by the network for this type of terminal, the terminal applies a bandwidth greater than or equal to the BWP bandwidth configured for this type as the terminal's transmission bandwidth; otherwise, the terminal considers that the cell prohibits the terminal's access.
[0136] The terminal receives network indication information sent by the system. If the network indication information does not contain the BWP bandwidth configured for this type of terminal, and if the maximum uplink or downlink transmission bandwidth supported by the terminal is greater than or equal to the carrier bandwidth of the initial uplink or downlink BWP indicated by the network, the terminal applies a bandwidth greater than or equal to the initial uplink or downlink BWP bandwidth indicated by the network as the terminal's transmission bandwidth; otherwise, the terminal considers that the cell prohibits the terminal's access.
[0137] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method performed by a user equipment (UE) according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
[0138] like Figure 1 As shown, in step 101, the BWP configuration information configured by the network for the UE type of the UE is received, wherein the BWP corresponding to the BWP configuration information is different from the initial downlink BWP of the cell.
[0139] Then, in step 103, based on the received BWP configuration information, at least one of the following is determined: the PDCCH location in the common search space, the width and value of the frequency domain indication field in the DCI used for data scheduling, and the location of the scheduled PDSCH resource.
[0140] Specifically, the terminal can perform a random access procedure or a data transmission procedure in a cell configured with CORESET0, depending on the terminal type and / or capabilities and network instructions. The terminal determines the PDCCH search location in the relevant common search space, the width and value of the frequency domain indication field in the DCI for data scheduling, the location of the scheduled PDSCH resources, and the reference beam of the DMRS, based on the configuration.
[0141] In the public search space, the DCI carried by the PDCCH uses the Type 1 PDSCH frequency domain resource allocation method to schedule PDSCH data transmission. The network can allocate a frequency domain resource of size [missing information - likely a value]. Within the BWP band, a continuous RB is allocated for data transmission. The frequency resource allocation indication field in the DCI uses the RIV (resource indication value) to indicate the specific time-frequency resource location allocated for data transmission. The RIV value determines the bandwidth covered by the scheduled continuous RB within the indication field. The relative starting position RB in the resources start and length L RBs For example, the following method can be used based on RB. start and length L RBs By determining the RIV value transmitted in the DCI, the corresponding RB can also be derived from that RIV value. start and length L RBs This determines the resource locations used for PDSCH transmission.
[0142] if So
[0143]
[0144] otherwise
[0145]
[0146] Here L RBs ≥1 and not greater than The DCI used for downlink data scheduling includes a frequency domain resource allocation indication field, which indicates the bandwidth configuration of the resources used by the scheduled PDSCH. For example, when using the Type 1 PDSCH resource allocation method, the bit length of the indication field is [insert bit length here]. in This refers to the bandwidth of the BWP used.
[0147] The terminal also needs to determine the mapping position of the resource blocks indicated in the DCI in the actual physical channel using an appropriate method. That is, the terminal maps the indicated resources to the actual transmitted PDSCH resource positions based on the relative positions of the resources indicated by the RIV, the relevant physical resource start positions, and other configuration parameters such as interleaving parameters. For example, the terminal may determine the RB resources indicated by the RIV one by one based on the determined resource start positions, or the terminal may start interleaving the number of RBs in the bandwidth associated with the RIV based on the determined resource start positions and map the resources indicated by the RIV according to the interleaving rules.
[0148] As an example, the network configures a Baseband Window (BWP) for a certain type of terminal for random access or data transmission of that type of terminal. The bandwidth supported by the terminal is greater than or equal to the BWP configured for that terminal by the network. In a cell configured with CORESET0, the terminal determines the positional relationship between the BWP and CORESET0 based on the terminal's type and / or capabilities and network instructions. If the BWP contains all the Baseband RBs (RBs) of CORESET0, the terminal uses the bandwidth of CORESET0 and subcarrier spacing parameters to determine information such as the width and value of the relevant data scheduling DCI intermediate frequency domain indication field and the location of the scheduled PDSCH resources. If the BWP does not contain all the Baseband RBs of CORESET0, the terminal uses the bandwidth of the BWP and subcarrier spacing parameters to determine information such as the width and value of the relevant data scheduling DCI intermediate frequency domain indication field and the location of the scheduled PDSCH resources.
[0149] Optionally, the network configures a BWP for a certain type of terminal for random access or data transmission of that type of terminal. If the BWP contains all RBs of CORESET0, the terminal uses the random access search space on the initial BWP indicated by the network to receive the PDCCH for the random access procedure of that type of terminal. If the BWP does not contain all RBs of CORESET0, the terminal uses the random access search space on that BWP to receive the PDCCH for the random access procedure of that type of terminal, and does not receive the PDCCH on the random access search space of the initial BWP.
[0150] Optionally, the network configures a BWP for a specific type of terminal for random access or data transmission of that type of terminal. If the BWP contains all RBs of CORESET0, the terminal uses the bandwidth of CORESET0 and the subcarrier spacing parameter to determine the width of the DCI intermediate frequency domain indicator field for the relevant data scheduling. The bit length of the DCI intermediate frequency domain indicator field used for the common search space is determined by the bandwidth of CORESET0. The number of RBs determined for the CORESET0 bandwidth and its SCS. If the BWP does not contain all the RBs of CORESET0, the terminal uses the bandwidth of the BWP and the subcarrier spacing parameter to determine the width of the DCI intermediate frequency domain indicator field for the relevant data scheduling. The bit length of the DCI intermediate frequency domain indicator field used for the common search space is determined by the bandwidth of the BWP. The number of RBs determined for the bandwidth of the BWP and its SCS.
[0151] Optionally, the network configures a BWP for a specific type of terminal for random access or data transmission of that type of terminal. If the BWP contains all RBs of CORESET0, the terminal uses the bandwidth of CORESET0 and the subcarrier spacing parameter to determine the value of the DCI intermediate frequency domain indicator field for the relevant data scheduling. The RIV value of the DCI intermediate frequency domain indicator field used for the common search space is determined by the bandwidth of CORESET0.
