Description

Technical Field

[0001]

[0006] In general, some aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications and to techniques and apparatus for uplink control information (UCI) multiplexing on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for multiple panel ("multi-panel") uplink transmissions. Background Art

[0002] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may utilize multiple access technologies that are capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, etc.). Examples of these multiple access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and long term evolution (LTE). LTE / LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0003] A wireless communication network may include multiple base stations (BS) that support communications for multiple user equipments (UEs). A UE may communicate with a base station (BS) via a downlink and an uplink. A downlink (or forward link) refers to a communication link from a BS to a UE, while an uplink (or reverse link) refers to a communication link from a UE to a BS. As will be described in more detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a Node B, gNB, access point (AP), radio head, transmit receive point (TRP), new radio (NR) BS, 5G Node B, and the like.

[0004] The above-mentioned multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different user devices to communicate at the city, country, region and even global level. New Radio (NR) (also known as 5G) is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard released by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). NR is designed to better integrate with other open standards using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) (CP-OFDM) with cyclic prefix (CP) on the downlink (DL), CP-OFDM and / or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), and support beamforming, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation to better support mobile broadband Internet access. However, as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, further improvements to LTE and NR technologies are needed. Preferably, these improvements should be applicable to other multiple access technologies and telecommunication standards that use these technologies. Summary of the invention

[0005] In some aspects, a method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) may include: determining a resource allocation indication for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission opportunity that overlaps with time domain resources of a first resource allocation for a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission opportunity and a second resource allocation for a second PUSCH transmission opportunity; and multiplexing uplink control information (UCI) associated with the PUCCH transmission opportunity on a selected PUSCH transmission opportunity, the selected PUSCH transmission opportunity including at least one of the following: the first PUSCH transmission opportunity, the second PUSCH transmission opportunity, or a combination thereof.

[0006] In some aspects, a UE for wireless communication may include a memory and one or more processors operably coupled to the memory. The memory and the one or more processors may be configured to: determine that a resource allocation for a PUCCH transmission opportunity indicates time domain resources that overlap with time domain resources of a first resource allocation for a first PUSCH transmission opportunity and a second resource allocation for a second PUSCH transmission opportunity; and multiplex UCI associated with the PUCCH transmission opportunity on a selected PUSCH transmission opportunity, the selected PUSCH transmission opportunity including at least one of the following: the first PUSCH transmission opportunity, the second PUSCH transmission opportunity, or a combination thereof.

[0007] In some aspects, a non-transitory computer-readable medium may store one or more instructions for wireless communication. The one or more instructions, when executed by one or more processors of a UE, may cause the one or more processors to: determine that a resource allocation for a PUCCH transmission opportunity indicates time domain resources that overlap with time domain resources of a first resource allocation for a first PUSCH transmission opportunity and a second resource allocation for a second PUSCH transmission opportunity; and multiplex UCI associated with the PUCCH transmission opportunity on a selected PUSCH transmission opportunity, the selected PUSCH transmission opportunity including at least one of the following: the first PUSCH transmission opportunity, the second PUSCH transmission opportunity, or a combination thereof.

[0008] In some aspects, an apparatus for wireless communication may include: a unit for determining that a resource allocation indication for a PUCCH transmission opportunity overlaps with time domain resources of a first resource allocation for a first PUSCH transmission opportunity and a second resource allocation for a second PUSCH transmission opportunity; and a unit for multiplexing UCI associated with the PUCCH transmission opportunity on a selected PUSCH transmission opportunity, wherein the selected PUSCH transmission opportunity includes at least one of the following: the first PUSCH transmission opportunity, the second PUSCH transmission opportunity, or a combination thereof.

[0009] Aspects generally include methods, apparatuses, systems, computer program products, non-transitory computer-readable media, user equipment, base stations, wireless communication devices, and / or processing systems as generally described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings and as illustrated in the drawings and the description.

[0017] The various aspects of the present disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure can be implemented in a variety of different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to any specific structure or function given throughout the present disclosure. Instead, these aspects are provided so that the present disclosure will be thorough and complete, and the scope of the present disclosure will be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the content disclosed herein, whether it is implemented independently of any other aspect of the present disclosure or combined with any other aspect of the present disclosure. For example, any number of aspects set forth herein can be used to implement a device or implementation method. In addition, the scope of the present application is intended to cover such a device or method implemented using other structures, functions, or structures and functions other than or different from the various aspects of the disclosure given herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein can be embodied by one or more elements in the claims.

[0018] Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various devices and techniques. These devices and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as "elements"). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether these elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0019] It should be noted that although various aspects may be described herein using terms generally associated with 3G and / or 4G wireless technologies, aspects of the present disclosure may be applied to other generation-based communication systems (such as 5G and later versions), including NR technology.

[0020] Figure 1 is a diagram of a wireless network 100 in which aspects of the present disclosure may be implemented. The wireless network 100 may be an LTE network or some other wireless network, such as a 5G or NR network. The wireless network 100 may include multiple BSs 110 (shown as BS 110a, BS 110b, BS 110c, and BS 110d) and other network entities. A BS is an entity that communicates with a user equipment (UE) and may also be referred to as a base station, NR BS, Node B, gNB, 5G Node B (NB), access point, transmit receive point (TRP), and the like. Each BS may provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In 3GPP, the term "cell" may refer to a coverage area of ​​a BS and / or a BS subsystem serving the coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0021] A BS may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, and / or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and allow restricted access by UEs associated with the femto cell (e.g., UEs in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). A BS for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro BS. A BS for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico BS. A BS for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto BS or a home BS. In Figure 1In the example shown, BS 110a may be a macro BS of macro cell 102a; BS 110b may be a pico BS of pico cell 102b; and BS 110c may be a femto BS of femto cell 102c. A BS may support one or more (e.g., three) cells. The terms "eNB", "base station", "NR BS", "gNB", "TRP", "AP", "Node B", "5G NB", and "cell" may be used interchangeably herein.

[0022] In some aspects, the cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of ​​the cell may move depending on the location of the mobile BS. In some aspects, the BSs may be interconnected to each other and / or one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 through various types of backhaul interfaces (e.g., direct physical connections, virtual networks, etc.) using any suitable transport network.

[0023] The wireless network 100 may also include a relay station. A relay station is an entity that can receive data transmissions from an uplink station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and send data transmissions to a downlink station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station may also be a UE that can relay transmissions for other UEs. Figure 1 In the example shown in , a relay station 110d may communicate with a macro BS 110a and a UE 120d to facilitate communication between the BS 110a and the UE 120d. A relay station may also be referred to as a relay BS, a relay base station, a relay, or the like.

[0024] The wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network including different types of BSs (e.g., macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, etc.). These different types of BSs may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different effects on interference in the wireless network 100. For example, a macro BS may have a higher transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 watts), while a pico BS, a femto BS, and a relay BS may have a lower transmit power level (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

[0025] The network controller 130 may be coupled to a group of BSs and may provide coordination and control for the BSs. The network controller 130 may communicate with the BSs via a backhaul. The BSs may also communicate with each other, for example, directly or indirectly via a wireless or wired backhaul.

[0026] UE 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) can be dispersed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE can be fixed or mobile. UE can also be referred to as a terminal, a mobile station, a subscriber unit, a station, etc. UE can be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet computer, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device or equipment, a biometric sensor / device, a wearable device (smart watch, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, or a satellite radio), a vehicle component or sensor, a smart meter / sensor, an industrial manufacturing device, a global positioning system device, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium.

[0027] Some UEs may be considered machine type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, location tags, and the like that can communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. A wireless node may provide, for example, a connection to a network or to a network (e.g., a wide area network such as the Internet or a cellular network) via a wired or wireless communication link. Some UEs may be considered Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and / or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband Internet of Things) devices. Some UEs may be considered customer premises equipment (CPE). UE 120 may be included in a housing that houses components of UE 120 (such as a processor component, a memory component, etc.).

[0028] In general, any number of wireless networks can be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network can support a specific radio access technology (RAT) and can operate on one or more frequencies. RAT can also be referred to as radio technology, air interface, etc. Frequency can also be referred to as carrier, frequency channel, etc. Each frequency can support a single RAT in a given geographic area to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks can be deployed.

[0029] In some aspects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly (e.g., without using base station 110 as an intermediary to communicate with each other) using one or more side link channels. For example, UE 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols, etc.), mesh networks, etc. In this case, UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein performed by base station 110.

[0030] As mentioned above, providing Figure 1 As an example. Other examples may be different from the Figure 1 Examples described.

[0031] Figure 2 A block diagram of a design 200 of a base station 110 and a UE 120 is shown, which may be Figure 1 Base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234a through 234t, and UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252a through 452r, where in general T≧1 and R≧1.

[0032] At base station 110, transmit processor 220 may receive data for one or more UEs from data source 212, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on a channel quality indicator (CQI) received from the UE, process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for each UE based at least in part on the MCS selected for the UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmit processor 220 may also process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI), etc.) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, upper layer signaling, etc.), and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor 220 may also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signals (PSS) and secondary synchronization signals (SSS)). If applicable, the transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 can perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on ​​data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, and can provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MOD) 232a to 232t. Each modulator 232 can process its own output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM, etc.) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 can further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and up-convert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. The T downlink signals from modulators 232a to 232t can be sent out via T antennas 234a to 234t, respectively. According to various aspects described in more detail below, position coding can be used to generate synchronization signals to transmit additional information.

[0033] At UE 120, antennas 252a to 252r may receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations and may provide received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254a to 254r, respectively. Each demodulator 254 may condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) the received signal to obtain input samples. Each demodulator 254 may further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM, etc.) to obtain received symbols. MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from all R demodulators 254a to 254r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, and provide detected symbols. Receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE 120 to data sink 260, and provide decoded control information and system information to controller / processor 280. The channel processor may determine reference signal received power (RSRP), received signal strength indicator (RSSI), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), channel quality indicator (CQI), etc. In some aspects, one or more components of UE 120 may be included in a housing.

[0034] On the uplink, at the UE 120, a transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from a data source 262 and control information from a controller / processor 280 (e.g., for reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, CQI, etc.). The transmit processor 264 may also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from the transmit processor 264 may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor 266 if applicable, further processed by modulators 254a through 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM, CP-OFDM, etc.), and transmitted to the base station 110. At the base station 110, uplink signals from the UE 120 and other UEs may be received by the antenna 234, processed by the demodulator 232, detected by the MIMO detector 236 if applicable, and further processed by the receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information transmitted by the UE 120. The receive processor 238 may provide decoded data to a data sink 239 and decoded control information to the controller / processor 240. The base station 110 may include a communication unit 244 and communicate to the network controller 130 via the communication unit 244. The network controller 130 may include a communication unit 294, a controller / processor 290, and a memory 292.

[0035] As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the controller / processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or any other component of FIG2 may perform one or more techniques associated with multiplexing uplink control information (UCI) on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for multi-panel uplink transmissions. For example, the controller / processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component may perform or direct e.g. Figure 7 The operations of process 700 and / or other processes as described herein. Memories 242 and 282 may store data and program codes for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some aspects, memory 242 and / or memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions for wireless communication. For example, when one or more instructions are executed by one or more processors of base station 110 and / or UE 120, they may perform or direct, for example, Figure 7 The scheduler 246 may schedule UEs for data transmission on the downlink and / or uplink.

[0036] In some aspects, the UE 120 may include means for determining that a resource allocation indication for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission opportunity overlaps time domain resources of a first resource allocation for a first PUSCH transmission opportunity and a second resource allocation for a second PUSCH transmission opportunity; and means for multiplexing UCI associated with the PUCCH transmission opportunity on a selected PUSCH transmission opportunity, the selected PUSCH transmission opportunity including at least one of the following: the first PUSCH transmission opportunity, the second PUSCH transmission opportunity, or a combination thereof, etc. In some aspects, such means may include combining Figure 2 One or more components of UE 120 are depicted, such as controller / processor 280, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, MOD 254, antenna 252, DEMOD 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, and the like.

[0037] As mentioned above, providing Figure 2 As an example. Other examples may be different from the Figure 2 Examples described.

[0038] Figure 33 is a diagram illustrating an example 300 of multi-panel uplink transmission according to various aspects of the present disclosure. UE 120 and BS 110 may communicate in conjunction with uplink multi-panel transmission of UE 120. UE 120 may employ multiple transmit antenna panels. An antenna panel may be a group of antenna ports or an antenna group. Uplink multi-panel transmission may use space division multiplexing, time division multiplexing, or frequency division multiplexing.

[0039] Figure 3 Spatial division multiplexing (SDM) 310 of the first PUSCH transmission opportunity 320 and the second PUSCH transmission opportunity 330, time division multiplexing (TDM) 340 of the PUSCH transmission opportunities 320 and 330, and frequency division multiplexing (FDM) 350 of the PUSCH transmission opportunities 320 and 330 are shown.

[0040] According to SDM 310 (e.g., non-coherent joint transmission), UE 120 may send a first PUSCH transmission opportunity 320 (shown as a first layer) and a second PUSCH transmission opportunity 330 (shown as a second layer overlaid on the first layer) in the same time and frequency resources but in different spatial resources. According to TDM 340, UE 120 may send a first PUSCH transmission opportunity 320 and a second PUSCH transmission opportunity 330 in the same frequency resources but in different time resources. According to FDM 350, UE 120 may send a first PUSCH transmission opportunity 320 and a second PUSCH transmission opportunity 330 in the same time resources but in different frequency resources.

[0041] In some aspects, UE 120 may transmit a first PUSCH transmission opportunity 320 using a first antenna panel 360, and UE 120 may transmit a second PUSCH transmission opportunity 330 using a second antenna panel 370. In other words, UE 120 may form a first beam on the first antenna panel 360 and UE 120 may form a second beam on the second antenna panel 370.

[0042] For codebook-based MIMO, the transmitted precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) index of each antenna panel can be identified by DCI, the uplink transmission configuration indicator (TCI) of each antenna panel can be identified by DCI, and the codebook sounding reference signal (SRS) set for each panel can be configured via radio resource control (RRC). For non-codebook-based MIMO, the SRS resource indicator (SRI) index of each antenna panel can be identified by DCI, the uplink TCI of each antenna panel can be identified by DCI, and the non-codebook SRS set for each panel can be configured by RRC. The uplink TCI is used to indicate the beam used for the antenna panel, which can be a beam associated with the indicated reference signal ID. And the SRS set ID can be used to indicate the antenna panel ID, where each antenna panel is associated with an SRS set.

[0043] 3GPP TS 38.213 Section 9 specifies that if a UE sends multiple PUSCH transmission opportunities in a timeslot on each serving cell and the PUCCH resource allocation overlaps with the PUSCH resource allocation, the UE multiplexes the UCI in the PUSCH transmission opportunity with the smallest cell index. Section 9 also specifies that if a UE sends multiple PUSCH transmission opportunities in a timeslot on the serving cell with the smallest cell index, the UE multiplexes the UCI in the earliest PUSCH transmission opportunity in which the UE transmits in that timeslot.

[0044] However, MIMO communication technology can implement multi-panel ("multi-panel") transmission, in which a UE (e.g., UE 120) sends multiple PUSCH transmission opportunities in a time slot on a serving cell using overlapping time resources, so that there is no earliest PUSCH transmission opportunity in the time slot, and so that the PUCCH transmission opportunity carrying UCI also uses overlapping time resources. 3GPP TS38.213 does not address this situation.

[0045] In some aspects described herein, techniques are provided for selecting PUSCH transmission opportunities for multiplexing UCI, where multiple PUSCH transmission opportunities share time and cell index resources. In this way, UCI can be reported during uplink transmissions from multiple panels simultaneously, thereby enabling more efficient use of time and frequency resources.

[0046] As mentioned above, providing Figure 3 As an example. Other examples may be different from the Figure 3 Examples described.

[0047] Figure 4is a diagram illustrating an example 400 of UCI multiplexing on a PUSCH for multi-panel uplink transmissions in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. As shown, a base station 110 and a UE 120 may communicate with each other.

[0048] As indicated by reference numeral 405, the base station 110 may transmit and the UE 120 may receive a DCI including a resource allocation 410 for uplink communication. The UE 120 may determine that the resource allocation for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission opportunity 415 indicates time domain resources that overlap with the time domain resources of the first resource allocation for a first PUSCH transmission opportunity 420 (shown as PUSCH 1) and the second resource allocation for a second PUSCH transmission opportunity 425 (shown as PUSCH 2). The indication of the resource allocation for the first and second PUSCH transmission opportunities 420 and 425 may be sent in a single DCI transmission, multiple DCI transmissions, etc.

[0049] The first resource allocation may indicate a first start time of the first PUSCH transmission opportunity 420 and a first cell index of the first PUSCH transmission opportunity 420. The second resource allocation may indicate a second start time of the second PUSCH transmission opportunity 425 and a second cell index of the second PUSCH transmission opportunity 425. Figure 4 As shown, the first start time is the second start time, and the first cell index is the second cell index.

[0050] As shown, PUCCH transmission opportunity 415 may be scheduled for transmission in first serving cell 430, and PUSCH transmission opportunities 420 and 425 may be scheduled for transmission in second serving cell 435. PUCCH transmission opportunity 415 and first PUSCH transmission opportunity 420 may be scheduled for transmission using first antenna panel 440. Second PUSCH transmission opportunity 425 may be scheduled for transmission using second antenna panel 445.

[0051] As indicated by reference numeral 450, UE 120 may transmit and BS 110 may receive a multi-panel uplink (UL) transmission. UE 120 may multiplex a first PUSCH transmission opportunity 420 with a second PUSCH transmission opportunity 425 using FDM. UE 120 may multiplex UCI associated with PUCCH transmission opportunity 415 on a selected PUSCH transmission opportunity. The selected PUSCH transmission opportunity may include the first PUSCH transmission opportunity 420, the second PUSCH transmission opportunity 425, or a combination thereof.

[0052] As indicated by reference numeral 455, for example, the selected PUSCH transmission opportunity may include the first PUSCH transmission opportunity 420. Figure 4 As shown, the selected PUSCH transmission opportunity may include a lowest frequency domain resource allocation index among a plurality of frequency domain resource allocation indexes associated with the plurality of PUSCH transmission opportunities 420 and 425. The lowest frequency domain allocation index may include a lowest resource block (RB) index.

[0053] In some aspects, the selected PUSCH transmission opportunity may include a lowest beam identifier among a plurality of beam identifiers associated with the plurality of PUSCH transmission opportunities 420 and 425. The lowest beam identifier may include a lowest UL transmission configuration indicator (TCI) identifier (ID). In some aspects, the lowest beam identifier may include a lowest sounding reference signal (SRS) set ID.

[0054] In some aspects, the selected PUSCH transmission opportunity may include a first transmitted precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) of a plurality of TPMIs associated with the plurality of PUSCH transmission opportunities 420 and 425.
