AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In New Radio (NR) technology, due to the base station's misjudgment of the terminal's detection of PDCCH behavior, the number of PDCCH candidate sets and non-overlapping CCEs in the actual CSS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span is insufficient, resulting in increased unicast service latency and reduced scheduling opportunities.

Method used

The terminal reports first information to the network side, indicating that it is receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive multicast and/or broadcast services. Based on this information, the base station and the terminal determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and/or non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected in a time slot or a span. Only the resources occupied by the actually received services are considered, and the resources of unreceived services are not included, so as to ensure that the USS set scheduled by the base station is more reasonable.

Benefits of technology

It reduces the latency of unicast services, increases the scheduling opportunities for unicast services, and improves the PDCCH detection efficiency of terminals.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wireless technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, terminal, base station and storage medium for channel detection. Background Technology

[0002] New Radio (NR) evolution technology introduces multicast / broadcast technology and supports two delivery modes. Delivery mode 2 (DM2) can provide multicast and / or broadcast services with lower Quality of Service (QoS) requirements to terminals in idle, inactive, and connected Radio Resource Control (RRC) states. In practical applications, the base station transmits the configuration information for multicast and / or broadcast services under delivery mode 2 through logical channels such as the Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) or Multicast Control Channel (MCCH).

[0003] Since multicast and / or broadcast services under distribution method 2 can only be scheduled through the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in the Common Search Space set (CSS set), based on the NR definition of terminal PDCCH detection behavior in related technologies, the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or non-overlapping Control Channel Elements (CCEs) actually detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span may be less than the number of detections understood by the base station. In this case, the number of remaining detectable PDCCH candidate sets and / or non-overlapping Control Channel Elements perceived by the base station within a time slot or a span will be less than the actual number of remaining detectable PDCCHs. This reduces the base station's opportunities to schedule UE-specific Search Space sets (USS set) or unicast services, resulting in increased latency for unicast services. Summary of the Invention

The terminal and the base station determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span based on the first information. Thus, when determining the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span, the terminal and the base station only consider the multicast and / or broadcast services reported by the terminal in the first information. PDCCH candidate sets and non-overlapping CCEs of multicast and / or broadcast services that are not reported will not be included in the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span. Based on this, the number of remaining detectable PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs understood by the base station are consistent with the actual number of remaining detectable PDCCH candidate sets and the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the terminal. The base station can schedule the USS set more reasonably, which reduces the latency of unicast services to a certain extent and increases the scheduling opportunities of unicast services.

[0098] In NR, the search space set for PDCCH is divided into the CSS set and the USS set. To reduce the complexity of PDCCH detection by the terminal, NR introduces restrictions on the number of PDCCHs that the terminal can detect. These restrictions include the maximum number of PDCCH candidate sets that the terminal can detect in one slot of a downlink (DL) bandwidth (BWP) of a serving cell, the maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs that the terminal can detect in one slot of a DL BWP of a serving cell, the maximum number of PDCCH candidate sets that the terminal can detect in one span of a DL BWP of a serving cell, and the maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs that the terminal can detect in one span of a DL BWP of a serving cell. Because the number of PDCCH candidate sets or non-overlapping CCEs detected by the terminal in a time slot or span often exceeds the terminal's maximum detection capacity, NR further defines the terminal's PDCCH detection behavior: The terminal first detects the PDCCHs of all configured CSS sets within a time slot or span, and determines the number of PDCCH candidate sets and non-overlapping CCEs for the CSS sets detected within that time slot or span; then, the terminal continues to detect the PDCCHs of the USS set, and during the detection process, it follows the ascending order of the USS search space set index, targeting each search space set... The system determines the number of candidate PDCCHs to be detected and the number of non-overlapping CCEs in the search space set. If the sum of the number of candidate PDCCHs to be detected and the number of candidate PDCCHs already detected in the search space set does not exceed the maximum number of candidate PDCCHs that the terminal can detect in a time slot or a span, and the sum of the number of non-overlapping CCEs required to detect these candidate PDCCHs and the number of non-overlapping CCEs already detected does not exceed the maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs that the terminal can detect in a time slot or a span, then the terminal detects the search space set; otherwise, the terminal stops detecting PDCCHs in the USS set.

[0099] NR evolution technology introduces multicast / broadcast technology, supporting three RRC states: idle, inactive, and connected, and two delivery modes. Delivery mode 1 provides high Quality of Service (QoS) multicast and / or broadcast services to terminals in the connected RRC state. Delivery mode 2 supports all three RRC states (idle, inactive, and connected) and provides multicast and / or broadcast services with lower QoS requirements. Configuration information for multicast and / or broadcast services in delivery mode 2, such as TMGI, G-RNTI, PDCCH detection location configuration information, the number of PDCCH candidate sets, and the aggregation level of the PDCCH candidate sets, is transmitted through logical channels such as BCCH or MCCH. The two logical channels mentioned above are mapped through physical channels in the form of broadcast, such as (SIB, System Information Block). In this way, terminals in all three RRC states can receive the same configuration information. Furthermore, the search space set of PDCCH for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services is CSS, thereby ensuring that all terminals can detect the same PDCCH.

[0100] Although the configuration information for multicast and / or broadcast services under distribution method 2 is carried through a broadcast-style physical channel, whether the terminal receives multicast and / or broadcast services, or which multicast and / or broadcast services it receives, depends on the terminal. Since multicast and / or broadcast services in distribution method 2 can only be scheduled via the PDCCH of the CSS, based on the definition of terminal PDCCH detection behavior in NR, if the base station believes that the terminal needs to receive all configured multicast and / or broadcast services, then the base station will determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and the number of non-overlapping CCEs for the CSS sets detected by the terminal within a time slot or span, based on all configured CSS sets within a time slot or span. However, in reality, the terminal does not receive all of these multicast and / or broadcast services. This results in the terminal actually detecting fewer PDCCH candidate sets and non-overlapping CCEs in a time slot or span than the base station understands that the terminal needs to detect. This further leads the base station to believe that the terminal has fewer remaining detectable PDCCH candidate sets and non-overlapping CCEs in a time slot or span than the actual number of remaining detectable PDCCH candidate sets and non-overlapping CCEs. As a result, the base station has fewer opportunities to schedule terminal USS or unicast services, and the latency of unicast services increases.

[0101] Based on this, in this embodiment of the application, the terminal reports first information to the network side. This first information indicates that the terminal is receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive multicast and / or broadcast services. The terminal and the base station respectively determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal in a time slot or a span based on the first information. In this way, when the terminal and the base station determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal in a time slot or a span, they only consider the multicast and / or broadcast services reported by the terminal in the first information. PDCCH candidate sets and non-overlapping CCEs of multicast and / or broadcast services that are not reported will not be included in the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal in a time slot or a span. Based on this, the number of remaining detectable PDCCH candidate sets and the number of non-overlapping CCEs understood by the base station are consistent with the actual number of remaining detectable PDCCH candidate sets and the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the terminal. The base station can schedule the USS set more reasonably, which reduces the latency of unicast services to a certain extent and increases the scheduling opportunities of unicast services.

[0102] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0103] This application provides a channel detection method, applied to a terminal, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0104] Step 101: Report the first information to the network side.

[0105] The first information indicates that the terminal is receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive multicast and / or broadcast services.

[0106] In one embodiment, the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0107] An index identifying multicast and / or broadcast services;

[0108] G-RNTI;

[0109] TMGI;

[0110] Information related to the search space for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services;

[0111] Priority information for multicast and / or broadcast services.

[0112] In other words, the terminal can use one or more of the above information contents in the first information to characterize the multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive, as well as their priority order.

[0113] In practical applications, the terminal determines the content of the first information based on the configuration information of multicast and / or broadcast services sent by the network side. Based on this, in one embodiment,

[0114] Before reporting the first information to the network side, the method further includes:

[0115] Receive configuration information for multicast and / or broadcast services sent by the network side.

[0116] In one embodiment, the configuration information for the multicast and / or broadcast services includes at least one of the following:

[0117] Configuration information for multicast and / or broadcast services transmitted via BCCH;

[0118] Configuration information for multicast and / or broadcast services transmitted via MCCH.

[0119] In one embodiment, before reporting the first information to the network side, the method further includes:

[0120] The content of the first information is determined based on the configuration information of the multicast and / or broadcast services.

[0121] In practical applications, the network side sends multicast / broadcast service configuration information to the terminal via BCCH or MCCH. Based on the configuration information sent by the network side, the terminal determines the multicast and / or broadcast services it is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive. Based on the configuration information corresponding to the determined multicast and / or broadcast services, the terminal determines the content of the first information, including at least one of the following: the index of the multicast and / or broadcast services it is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive; G-RNTI; TMGI; priority information; and information related to the search space for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services. Thus, based on the received first information, the network side can determine the multicast and / or broadcast services the terminal is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive.

[0122] In one embodiment, the multicast and / or broadcast services represented in the first information are arranged in a predetermined order in the first information.

[0123] The set order represents the degree of interest of the terminal in multicast and / or broadcast services.

[0124] Here, the multicast and / or broadcast services represented in the first information are arranged in the first information according to the terminal's degree of interest in these multicast and / or broadcast services. In this way, when the terminal and the base station determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal in a time slot or a span based on the first information, it can be guaranteed that the PDCCH candidate sets occupied by the multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is interested in and the required non-overlapping CCEs can be preferentially included in the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal in a time slot or a span.

[0125] Step 102: Based on the first information, determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected in a time slot or a span.

[0126] In one embodiment, determining the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the detected CSS set within a time slot or a span based on the first information includes:

[0127] Based on the first CSS set and the second CSS set, determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS sets detected within a time slot or a span.

[0128] Wherein, the first CSS set represents the CSS set containing the PDCCH used to schedule the multicast and / or broadcast services represented in the first information; the second CSS set represents the CSS set containing the PDCCH not used to schedule multicast and / or broadcast services.

[0129] In practical applications, among all configured CSS sets for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services, a portion of the CSS sets are used to schedule multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive. For ease of description, this portion of the CSS sets is referred to as the first CSS set. The CSS sets for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services that, apart from the first CSS set, do not schedule multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive; this portion of the CSS sets is referred to as the third CSS set. Furthermore, the CSS set used for scheduling system messages, random access responses, paging messages, and group control information is referred to as the second CSS set. The second CSS set is the CSS set containing the PDCCH that is not used for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services. Here, the terminal determines the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS sets detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span based on the first CSS set and the second CSS set. The terminal does not determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS sets detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span based on the PDCCH candidate sets of the third CSS set.

[0130] In one embodiment, determining the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the detected CSS set within a time slot or a span based on the first information includes:

[0131] Based on the first and second PDCCH candidate sets, determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs for the CSS sets detected within a time slot or a span; where,

[0132] The first PDCCH candidate set represents the PDCCH candidate set used for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services represented in the first information; the second PDCCH candidate set represents the PDCCH candidate set not used for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services.

[0133] In practical applications, among all configured CSS sets for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services, a portion of the PDCCH candidate sets in some CSS sets are used to schedule multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive. For ease of description, this portion of the PDCCH candidate sets is referred to as the first PDCCH candidate set. In the CSS sets for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services, other PDCCH candidate sets besides the first PDCCH candidate set schedule multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is not currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive. This portion of the PDCCH candidate sets is referred to as the third PDCCH candidate set. Furthermore, the PDCCH candidate sets used for scheduling system messages, random access responses, paging messages, and group control information are referred to as the second PDCCH candidate set. The second PDCCH candidate set represents the PDCCH candidate sets not used for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services. The terminal determines the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs for the CSS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span based on the first PDCCH candidate set and the second PDCCH candidate set. The terminal does not determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs for the CSS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span based on the third PDCCH candidate set.

[0134] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0135] The first PDCCH candidate set is determined based on second information associated with the multicast / broadcast services represented in the first information; wherein...

[0136] The second information includes at least one of the following:

[0137] Index of the CSS collection;

[0138] The number of PDCCH candidate sets in the CSS collection;

[0139] Aggregation level of the PDCCH candidate set in the CSS collection.

[0140] In practical applications, the terminal determines the first PDCCH candidate set based on second information associated with the multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive. Here, the second information includes at least one of the following: the index of the CSS set of the multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive; the number of PDCCH candidate sets of the multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive; and the aggregation level of the PDCCH candidate sets of the multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive.

[0141] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0142] Based on the first information, determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the USS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span.

[0143] Here, after determining the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs in the CSS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span, the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs in the USS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span can be determined based on the first information. Specifically, the terminal determines the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs in the USS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span based on the PDCCH candidate sets occupied by multicast and / or broadcast services excluded from the multicast and / or broadcast services represented by the first information. That is, in addition to the multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive, and the second CSS set, the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs occupied by other multicast and / or broadcast services can be used to schedule unicast services in the USS set, avoiding the waste of PDCCH detection capabilities.

[0144] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0145] Detect the scheduling PDCCH corresponding to the multicast and / or broadcast services represented in the first information.

[0146] Here, the terminal only detects the scheduling PDCCH corresponding to the multicast and / or broadcast services represented in the first information, and does not detect the scheduling PDCCH corresponding to multicast and / or broadcast services not represented in the first information. In this way, the number of PDCCH candidate sets occupied by multicast and / or broadcast services not represented in the first information and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs can be used to schedule unicast services in the USS set, avoiding the waste of PDCCH detection capability.

[0147] Accordingly, embodiments of this application also provide a channel detection method, applied to a base station, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0148] Step 201: Receive the first information reported by the terminal.

[0149] The first information indicates that the terminal is receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive multicast and / or broadcast services.

[0150] In one embodiment, the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0151] An index identifying multicast and / or broadcast services;

[0152] G-RNTI;

[0153] TMGI;

[0154] Information related to the search space for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services;

[0155] Priority information for multicast and / or broadcast services.

[0156] In practical applications, the terminal determines the content of the first information based on the configuration information of multicast and / or broadcast services sent by the base station. Therefore, in one embodiment, before the first information reported by the receiving terminal, the method further includes:

[0157] Send configuration information for multicast and / or broadcast services to the terminal.

[0158] In one embodiment, sending configuration information for multicast and / or broadcast services to the terminal includes:

[0159] Configuration information for multicast and / or broadcast services transmitted via BCCH; and / or,

[0160] Configuration information for multicast and / or broadcast services transmitted via MCCH.

[0161] In practical applications, the network side sends multicast / broadcast service configuration information to the terminal via BCCH or MCCH. Based on the configuration information sent by the network side, the terminal determines the multicast and / or broadcast services it is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive. Based on the configuration information corresponding to the determined multicast and / or broadcast services, the terminal determines the content of the first information, including at least one of the following: the index of the multicast and / or broadcast services it is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive; G-RNTI; TMGI; priority information; and information related to the search space for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services. Thus, based on the received first information, the network side can determine the multicast and / or broadcast services the terminal is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive.

[0162] In one embodiment, the multicast and / or broadcast services represented in the first information are arranged in a predetermined order in the first information; the predetermined order represents the degree of interest of the terminal in the multicast and / or broadcast services.

[0163] Here, the multicast and / or broadcast services represented in the first information are arranged in the first information according to the degree of interest of the terminal in these multicast and / or broadcast services. In this way, when the terminal and the base station determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal in a time slot or a span based on the first information, it can be guaranteed that the PDCCH candidate sets occupied by the multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is interested in can be preferentially included in the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal in a time slot or a span.

[0164] Step 202: Based on the first information, determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span.

[0165] In one embodiment, determining the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span based on the first information includes:

[0166] Based on the first CSS set and the second CSS set, the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS sets detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span are determined; wherein...

[0167] The first CSS set represents the CSS set containing the PDCCH used to schedule the multicast and / or broadcast services represented in the first information; the second CSS set represents the CSS set containing the PDCCH not used to schedule multicast and / or broadcast services.

[0168] Wherein, the first CSS set represents the CSS set containing the PDCCH used to schedule the multicast and / or broadcast services represented in the first information; the second CSS set represents the CSS set containing the PDCCH not used to schedule multicast and / or broadcast services.

[0169] In practical applications, among all configured CSS sets for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services, a portion of the CSS sets are used to schedule multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive. For ease of description, this portion of the CSS sets is referred to as the first CSS set. The CSS sets for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services that, apart from the first CSS set, do not schedule multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive; this portion of the CSS sets is referred to as the third CSS set. Furthermore, the CSS set used for scheduling system messages, random access responses, paging messages, and group control information is referred to as the second CSS set. The second CSS set is the CSS set containing the PDCCH that is not used for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services. Here, the base station determines the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS sets detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span based on the first CSS set and the second CSS set. The base station does not determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS sets detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span based on the PDCCH candidate sets of the third CSS set.

[0170] In one embodiment, determining the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the detected CSS set within a time slot or a span based on the first information includes:

[0171] Based on the first and second PDCCH candidate sets, determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs for the CSS sets detected within a time slot or a span; where,

[0172] The first PDCCH candidate set represents the PDCCH candidate set used for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services represented in the first information; the second PDCCH candidate set represents the PDCCH candidate set not used for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services.

[0173] In practical applications, among all configured CSS sets for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services, a portion of the PDCCH candidate sets in some CSS sets are used to schedule multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive. For ease of description, this portion of the PDCCH candidate sets is referred to as the first PDCCH candidate set. In the CSS sets for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services, other PDCCH candidate sets besides the first PDCCH candidate set schedule multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is not currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive. This portion of the PDCCH candidate sets is referred to as the third PDCCH candidate set. Furthermore, the PDCCH candidate sets used for scheduling system messages, random access responses, paging messages, and group control information are referred to as the second PDCCH candidate set. The second PDCCH candidate set represents the PDCCH candidate sets not used for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services. The terminal determines the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs for the CSS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span based on the first PDCCH candidate set and the second PDCCH candidate set. The terminal does not determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs for the CSS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span based on the third PDCCH candidate set.

[0174] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0175] The first PDCCH candidate set is determined based on second information associated with the multicast / broadcast services represented in the first information; wherein...

[0176] The second information includes at least one of the following:

[0177] Index of the CSS collection;

[0178] The number of PDCCH candidate sets in the CSS collection;

[0179] Aggregation level of the PDCCH candidate set in the CSS collection.

[0180] In practical applications, the base station determines the first PDCCH candidate set based on second information associated with the multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive. Here, the second information includes at least one of the following: the index of the CSS set of the multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive; the number of PDCCH candidate sets of the multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive; and the aggregation level of the PDCCH candidate sets of the multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive.

[0181] In this way, the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or non-overlapping CCEs occupied by other multicast and / or broadcast services, besides those that the terminal is currently receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive, can be used to schedule unicast services in the USS set, thus avoiding the waste of PDCCH detection capabilities.

[0182] In the above scheme, the terminal reports first information to the network side. This first information indicates that the terminal is receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive multicast and / or broadcast services. The terminal and the base station determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span based on the first information. In this way, when determining the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span, the terminal and the base station only consider the multicast and / or broadcast services reported by the terminal in the first information. PDCCH candidate sets and non-overlapping CCEs of multicast and / or broadcast services that are not reported will not be included in the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span. Based on this, the number of remaining detectable PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs understood by the base station are consistent with the number of remaining detectable PDCCH candidate sets and the number of non-overlapping CCEs. The base station can schedule the USS set more reasonably, which reduces the latency of unicast services to a certain extent and increases the scheduling opportunities of unicast services.

[0183] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to application examples.

[0184] Combination Figure 3 The channel detection method in this application embodiment includes the following steps:

[0185] Step 1: The network side configures two CSSs for scheduling multicast / broadcast services via BCCH and / or MCCH.

[0186] Among them, CSS 1 is used to schedule multicast and / or broadcast service 1, the TMGI corresponding to multicast and / or broadcast service 1 is TMGI 1, and the corresponding G-RNTI is G-RNTI 1; CSS 2 is used to schedule multicast and / or broadcast service 2, the TMGI corresponding to multicast and / or broadcast service 2 is TMGI 2, and the corresponding G-RNTI is G-RNTI 2.

[0187] Step 2: Based on the configuration information transmitted by the network side through BCCH and / or MCCH, the terminal reports the first information to the network side, and uses the first information to indicate to the network side that the multicast and / or broadcast service that the terminal is receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive is multicast and / or broadcast service 2.

[0188] The first information to be reported can be TMGI 2, G-RNTI 2, or CSS 2.

[0189] Step 3: Based on CSS 2 and other CSS, the terminal and base station determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal in a time slot or a span.

[0190] Among them, the CSS in other CSS refers to the CSS configurations other than CSS 1 and CSS 2. Here, the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs in the CSS set detected within a time slot or a span are not determined based on CSS 1. In this way, the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs occupied by CSS 1 can be used to schedule unicast services in the USS set, avoiding the waste of PDCCH detection capabilities.

[0191] Next, the method for determining the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span in Application Implementation 1 will be described in detail:

[0192] First, within time slot n or span n, a set is defined that includes the CSS set associated with multicast and / or broadcast services reported in the first information, and other CSS sets not used for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services. S CSS This is the set of CSS elements that excludes CSS 1, where the set...

It is the maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs that the terminal can detect within one time slot of the activated downlink BWP in the scheduling cell. It is the maximum number of PDCCH candidate sets that the terminal can detect within one time slot of the activated downlink BWP in the scheduling cell. It is the maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs that the terminal can detect within one time slot of the activated downlink BWP in the scheduling cell.

[0204] Combination Figure 4 The channel detection method in this application embodiment includes the following steps:

[0205] Step 1: The network side has configured CSS 1 via BCCH and / or MCCH for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services.

[0206] Among them, the two PDCCH candidate sets of CSS 1 are used to schedule multicast and / or broadcast service 1, and the TMGI corresponding to multicast and / or broadcast service 1 is TMGI 1, and the corresponding G-RNTI is G-RNTI 1; the other two PDCCH candidate sets of CSS 1 are used to schedule multicast and / or broadcast service 2, and the TMGI corresponding to multicast and / or broadcast service 2 is TMGI 2, and the corresponding G-RNTI is G-RNTI 2.

[0207] Step 2: Based on the configuration information transmitted by the network side through BCCH and / or MCCH, the terminal reports the first information to the network side, and uses the first information to indicate to the network side that the multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive are broadcast / broadcast services 2.

[0208] The first information to be reported can be TMGI 2, G-RNTI 2, or CSS 2.

[0209] Step 3: Based on the PDCCH candidate set used for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services 2 in CSS 1 and other CSSs, the terminal and the base station determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal in a time slot or a span.

[0210] Among them, the CSS in other CSSs refers to the CSS configurations other than CSS 1. Here, the terminal does not determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs in the CSS set detected within a time slot or a span based on the two PDCCH candidate sets used in CSS 1 for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast service 1. In this way, the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs occupied by CSS 1 for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast service 1 can be used to schedule unicast services in the USS set, avoiding the waste of PDCCH detection capabilities.

[0211] Next, the method for determining the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span in Application Example 2 will be described in detail:

[0212] For all search space sets within time slot n or span n, the CSS set is defined as follows: S CSS , where set S CSS The number of elements is I CSS Define the set of USS as S USS , where set S USS The number of elements is J USS ,gather S USS set in S j ( Sort in ascending order based on the search space set index.

[0213] definition ( ) is used for detection sets S CSS ( i The number of PDCCH candidate sets is calculated, defined as follows: ( ) is used for detection sets The number of PDCCH candidate sets calculated.

[0214] For CSS collections, terminal detection The total number of PDCCH candidate sets needed is 1 The number of non-overlapping CCEs. Here, for PDCCH candidate sets used for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services that are not reported in the first information, they are not counted. and In other words, the two PDCCH candidate sets used in CSS 1 for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services are not counted in the calculation. and middle.

[0215] definition V CCE ( ) is a set A set of non-overlapping CCEs It is a set V CCE ( The number of elements in a set, where the set is...

It is the maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs that the terminal can detect within one time slot of the activated downlink BWP in the scheduling cell. It is the maximum number of PDCCH candidate sets that the terminal can detect within one time slot of the activated downlink BWP in the scheduling cell. It is the maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs that the terminal can detect within one time slot of the activated downlink BWP in the scheduling cell.

[0224] Combination Figure 5 The channel detection method in this application embodiment includes the following steps:

[0225] Step 1: The network side configures three CSSs for scheduling multicast / broadcast services via BCCH and / or MCCH.

[0226] Among them, CSS 1 is used to schedule multicast and / or broadcast service 1, and the TMGI corresponding to multicast and / or broadcast service 1 is TMGI 1, and the corresponding G-RNTI is G-RNTI 1; CSS 2 is used to schedule multicast and / or broadcast service 2, and the TMGI corresponding to multicast and / or broadcast service 2 is TMGI 2, and the corresponding G-RNTI is G-RNTI 2; two of the PDCCH candidate sets of CSS 3 are used to schedule multicast and / or broadcast service 3, and the TMGI corresponding to multicast and / or broadcast service 3 is TMGI 3, and the corresponding G-RNTI is G-RNTI 3; the other two PDCCH candidate sets of CSS 3 are used to schedule multicast and / or broadcast service 4, and the TMGI corresponding to multicast and / or broadcast service 4 is TMGI 4, and the corresponding G-RNTI is G-RNTI 4.

[0227] Step 2: Based on the configuration information transmitted by the network side through BCCH and / or MCCH, the terminal reports the first information to the network side, and uses the first information to indicate to the network side that the multicast and / or broadcast services that the terminal is receiving, is interested in receiving, or expects to receive are multicast and / or broadcast service 2 and multicast and / or broadcast service 4.

[0228] The first information to be reported can be TMGI 2 and TMGI 4, or G-RNTI 2 and G-RNTI 4, or CSS 2.

[0229] Step 3: Based on CSS 2 and the PDCCH candidate set used for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services 4 in CSS 3, as well as other CSS, the terminal and the base station determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS sets detected by the terminal in a time slot or a span.

[0230] Among them, the other CSSs are CSSs other than CSS 1, CSS 2 and CSS 3. Here, the terminal does not determine the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs in the CSS set to be detected in a time slot or a span based on the PDCCH candidate sets occupied by the PDCCH candidate sets used to schedule multicast and / or broadcast services 3 in CSS 1 and CSS 3. In this way, the number of PDCCH candidate sets occupied by the PDCCH candidate sets used to schedule multicast and / or broadcast services 3 in CSS 1 and CSS 3 and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs can be used to schedule unicast services in the USS set, avoiding the waste of PDCCH detection capabilities.

[0231] Next, the method for determining the number of PDCCH candidate sets and / or the number of non-overlapping CCEs of the CSS set detected by the terminal within a time slot or a span in Application Implementation Example 3 will be described in detail:

[0232] Within time slot n or span n, the set defined as the CSS set associated with multicast and / or broadcast services reported in the first information, and other CSS sets not used for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services, is as follows: S CSS This is the set of CSS elements that excludes CSS 1, where the set...

Here, for PDCCH candidate sets used for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services that are not reported in the first information, they are not counted. and In other words, the two PDCCH candidate sets used in CSS3 for scheduling multicast and / or broadcast services are not counted in the calculation. and middle.

It is the maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs that the terminal can detect within one time slot of the activated downlink BWP in the scheduling cell. It is the maximum number of PDCCH candidate sets that the terminal can detect within one time slot of the activated downlink BWP in the scheduling cell. It is the maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs that the terminal can detect within one time slot of the activated downlink BWP in the scheduling cell.
