Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wireless communications, and in particular to a method, device and communication equipment for processing Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) information. Background Art

[0002] New Radio (NR) multicast broadcast technology introduces HARQ feedback technology to improve the reliability of multicast / broadcast services. There are two HARQ feedback schemes: one is ACK / NACK-based HARQ feedback, in which each terminal is required to provide ACK or NACK feedback for the received Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH). The other HARQ feedback scheme is a negative response (NACK-only) HARQ feedback scheme, in which a terminal only provides a NACK feedback if it fails to correctly receive the PDSCH. The Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources used for NACK-only HARQ feedback by multiple terminals can be shared. If only one bit of NACK information is required in an uplink (UL) timeslot, all terminals can provide this one-bit NACK information on the same PUCCH resource. If the base station detects this PUCCH, it can determine that a terminal did not correctly receive the PDSCH. Therefore, compared with the ACK / NACK HARQ feedback solution, the NACK-only HARQ feedback solution mainly aims to save PUCCH resources for simultaneous HARQ feedback of multiple users.

[0003] However, in the current time division duplexing (TDD) frame structure, for example, a frame structure with 10 time slots, including 7 downlink (DL) time slots, 2 uplink (UL) time slots, and 1 special time slot, the PDSCHs of the 7 DL time slots need to perform HARQ feedback in two UL time slots. In other words, the HARQ feedback of one UL slot needs to carry more than 1 bit of NACK information. One solution is to configure multiple PUCCH resources in one UL slot, with each PUCCH resource corresponding to the HARQ feedback information of one PDSCH. However, considering the limitations of some terminal capabilities, some terminals can only send two PUCCHs in one time slot, which limits the number of PDSCHs that can perform HARQ feedback simultaneously in one time slot to a maximum of 2. Another solution is to construct an HARQ codebook similar to traditional unicast HARQ feedback. Each terminal constructs its own HARQ codebook and feeds it back on its own PUCCH resource. However, this will increase the PUCCH resource overhead, thus defeating the purpose of introducing the NACK-only HARQ feedback solution. Summary of the Invention

The HARQ information is also the HARQ information to be fed back or the HARQ feedback information; the HARQ information can indicate whether the reception or decoding status of each PDSCH is correct reception / decoding or erroneous reception / decoding. In some optional embodiments, the HARQ information may be embodied in the form of a HARQ codebook or a HARQ information bit value.

[0049] By adopting the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal determines the mapping relationship between the parameter value of the PUCCH used to calculate the cyclic shift (Cyclic Shift), the index of the orthogonal cover code (Orthogonal Cover Code) and at least one information in the PUCCH resource index and the HARQ information through a predefined method or a network configuration method, so that multiple terminals can correspond to their respective different HARQ information with different cyclic shifts (or also called sequence cyclic shifts (Sequence Cyclic Shift)), orthogonal cover codes, and at least one information in the PUCCH resource index on the same PUCCH resource, so that multiple terminals can feedback different HARQ information on the shared PUCCH resource according to the correct or erroneous reception or decoding of their respective PDSCHs, and realize the feedback of HARQ information of multiple PDSCHs in one time slot without increasing resource overhead.

[0050] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the method further includes: the terminal determining the HARQ information to be fed back based on the reception status of at least one PDSCH used to carry multicast and / or broadcast services or associated with multicast and / or broadcast services.

[0051] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the method further includes: the terminal determines at least one of the parameter values ​​for calculating the cyclic shift, the index of the orthogonal cover code and the PUCCH resource index of the PUCCH to be transmitted based on the HARQ information to be fed back and the mapping relationship.

[0053] Optionally, the PUCCH is used to report HARQ information of a PDSCH carrying multicast and / or broadcast services or a PDSCH shared by multiple terminals.

[0054] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the method further includes: the terminal obtains the PUCCH resource or resource set configured by the network, and the PUCCH resource or resource set is associated with multicast and / or broadcast services, or is associated with a PDCCH that schedules multicast and / or broadcast services.

[0055] Optionally, the terminal obtains the PUCCH resource or resource set configured by the network, including: the terminal receives first high-layer signaling from a network device, where the first high-layer signaling includes configuration information of the PUCCH resource or resource set.

[0056] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the terminal determines the mapping relationship between the parameter value of PUCCH used to calculate the cyclic shift, the index of the orthogonal cover code and the PUCCH resource index and the HARQ information through network configuration, including: the terminal receives a second high-level signaling from the network device, and the second high-level signaling includes the mapping relationship between the parameter value of PUCCH used to calculate the cyclic shift, the index of the orthogonal cover code and the PUCCH resource index and the HARQ information.

[0057] Based on the above embodiments, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for processing HARQ information. Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the process of the HARQ information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention Figure 2 ;like Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0058] Step 201: The network device determines a mapping relationship between at least one of a parameter value for calculating a cyclic shift of a PUCCH, an index of an orthogonal cover code, and a PUCCH resource index and HARQ information in a predefined manner or by configuring the terminal.

[0059] In this embodiment, the mapping relationship may include at least one of the parameter value for calculating the cyclic shift, the index of the orthogonal cover code and the PUCCH resource index and the corresponding HARQ information. Wherein, the cyclic shift is obtained by calculating multiple parameters, and the parameter value for calculating the cyclic shift may be at least part of the multiple parameters for calculating the cyclic shift. The orthogonal cover code may also be called an orthogonal sequence. The HARQ information is also the HARQ information to be fed back or the HARQ feedback information; the HARQ information can indicate whether the reception / decoding status of each PDSCH is correct reception / decoding or erroneous reception / decoding. In some optional embodiments, the HARQ information may be embodied in the form of a HARQ codebook or a HARQ information bit value.

[0060] By adopting the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, a network device (such as a base station) determines the mapping relationship between the parameter value for calculating the cyclic shift (Cyclic Shift) of the PUCCH, the index of the orthogonal cover code (Orthogonal Cover Code), and at least one of the PUCCH resource indexes and the HARQ information in a predefined manner or by configuring the terminal, so that multiple terminals can correspond to their respective different HARQ information on the same PUCCH resource with different cyclic shifts, orthogonal cover codes, and at least one of the PUCCH resource indexes, so that multiple terminals can feedback different HARQ information on the shared PUCCH resource according to the correct or erroneous reception / decoding of their respective PDSCHs, and feedback of HARQ information of multiple PDSCHs in one time slot without increasing resource overhead; the network device (such as a base station) can, based on the mapping relationship, obtain the HARQ information according to the received parameter value for calculating the cyclic shift, the index of the orthogonal cover code, and the PUCCH resource index, as well as the mapping relationship.

[0061] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the method further includes: the network device receives the PUCCH from the terminal, and determines at least one information of the parameter value of the PUCCH used to calculate the cyclic shift, the index of the orthogonal cover code, and the PUCCH resource index; the network device determines the HARQ information based on at least one information of the parameter value of the PUCCH used to calculate the cyclic shift, the index of the orthogonal cover code, and the PUCCH resource index and the mapping relationship.

[0062] Optionally, the PUCCH is used to report HARQ information of a PDSCH carrying multicast and / or broadcast services or a PDSCH shared by multiple terminals.

[0063] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the method further includes: the network device configures a PUCCH resource or resource set for transmitting the PUCCH to the terminal; the PUCCH resource or resource set is associated with a multicast and / or broadcast service, or is associated with a PDCCH that schedules multicast and / or broadcast services.

[0064] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the network device configures the PUCCH resource or resource set for transmitting the PUCCH to the terminal, including: the network device sends a first high-layer signaling to the terminal, and the first high-layer signaling includes configuration information of the PUCCH resource or resource set.

[0065] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, a network device configures a mapping relationship between a parameter value for calculating a cyclic shift, an index of an orthogonal cover code, and at least one information in a PUCCH resource index and HARQ information to a terminal, including: the network device sends a second high-level signaling to the terminal, wherein the second high-level signaling includes a mapping relationship between a parameter value for calculating a cyclic shift, an index of an orthogonal cover code, and at least one information in a PUCCH resource index and HARQ information.

[0066] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to specific examples.

[0067] Example 1

[0068] This example is based on PUCCH format 0 or format 1 PUCCH transmission. Different cyclic shift values ​​correspond to different HARQ information. Each terminal determines the cyclic shift value based on the HARQ information it needs to transmit and the above mapping relationship.

[0069] Exemplarily, the sequence length of PUCCH format 0 is 12, that is, a maximum of 12 cyclic shifts can be used to indicate 12 combination states of HARQ information.

[0070] For example, PUCCH format 1 of one physical resource block (PRB) (14 symbols) supports a maximum of 12 sequences and 7 orthogonal cover codes, that is, one PRB can carry a maximum of 84 HARQ information.

[0071] For example, for 3 PDSCHs, a total of 2 3 = 8 HARQ information combination states; for 4 PDSCHs, a total of 2 4 = 16 HARQ information combination states.

[0072] The values ​​of HARQ information bits corresponding to different parameter values ​​for calculating cyclic shift or sequence cyclic shift can be determined by protocol pre-defined means or network device configuration. The network device configures the same PUCCH resource for at least one terminal.

[0073] The terminal may determine the parameter value for calculating the cyclic shift of the corresponding PUCCH according to the HARQ information that the terminal needs to transmit.

[0074] Although the PUCCH resources of different terminals are the same, the PUCCH sequences using different cyclic shifts (or sequence cyclic shifts) are orthogonal. The base station can detect which sequence or sequences the terminal has sent on this PUCCH resource, and thus know the HARQ feedback status of different terminals.

[0075] The specific mapping relationship between the cyclic shift of the PUCCH and the HARQ information can be referred to as shown in the following Tables 1-1, 1-2, 2-1 and 2-2. Among them, the first line of Tables 1-1, 1-2, 2-1 and 2-2 is the HARQ information in the aforementioned embodiment of the present invention, or the value of the HARQ information bit. Tables 1-1 and 1-2 are used to indicate the reception status of 3 PDSCHs, and the value of each bit corresponds to the reception status of one PDSCH. Tables 2-1 and 2-2 are used to indicate the reception status of 2 PDSCHs, and the value of each bit corresponds to the reception status of one PDSCH. Among them, for example, 1 can indicate that the corresponding PDSCH is correctly received, that is, feedback HARQ correct feedback (HARQ-ACK); 0 can indicate that the corresponding PDSCH is incorrectly received, that is, feedback HARQ error feedback (HARQ-NACK). Of course, the HARQ information in Table 1-1, Table 1-2, Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 is only an example. 0 can also be used to indicate that the corresponding PDSCH is correctly received, and 1 can be used to indicate that the corresponding PDSCH is incorrectly received. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0076] In this example, Tables 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, and 2-2 list cyclic shift values. The mappings above may represent parameter values ​​used to calculate the cyclic shift. The cyclic shift values ​​are provided as examples only and may be predefined or configured to other values.

[0077] Another difference between Table 1-1 and Table 1-2 is that Table 1-2 does not contain {1,1,1}, which indicates that all three PDSCHs are correctly received (1 can indicate that the corresponding PDSCH is correctly received). When Table 1-2 is applied, if the terminal correctly receives all three PDSCHs, HARQ feedback is not required. HARQ feedback is required in other cases. When Table 1-1 is applied, the terminal provides HARQ feedback for all three PDSCHs, regardless of whether they are correctly received. The difference between Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 is similar.

[0078] Table 1-1

[0079] HARQ-ACK Value {1,1,1} {1,1,0} {1,0,1} {0,1,1} {1,0,0} {0,1,0} {0,0,1} {0,0,0} cyclic shift 0 2 3 4 6 8 10 11

[0084] Table 2-2

[0085] HARQ-ACK Value {0,0} {0,1} {1,0} cyclic shift 0 4 8

[0086] Example 2

[0087] This example is based on PUCCH transmission using PUCCH format 0 or PUCCH format 1. Different combinations of cyclic shift values ​​and PUCCH resource indices correspond to different HARQ information. Each terminal determines the cyclic shift value and PUCCH resource index based on the HARQ information it needs to transmit and the mapping relationship described above.

[0088] In this example, different parameter values ​​for calculating cyclic shift and HARQ information bit values ​​corresponding to PUCCH resource indexes can be determined by protocol pre-defined methods or network device configuration methods. The network device configures the same multiple PUCCH resources for at least one terminal.

[0089] The terminal may determine the parameter value for calculating the cyclic shift and the PUCCH resource index of the corresponding PUCCH according to the HARQ information that the terminal needs to transmit.

[0090] The mapping relationship between the specific PUCCH parameter values ​​used to calculate the cyclic shift and the PUCCH resource index (PUCCH index) and HARQ information can be referred to in Tables 3 and 4 below. In addition, the difference between Tables 3 and 4 is that there is no {1,1,1} in Table 3, which means that all three PDSCHs are correctly received (1 can indicate that the corresponding PDSCH is correctly received). When Table 3 is applied, if the terminal correctly receives 3 PDSCHs, HARQ feedback is not required. In other cases, HARQ feedback is required. When Table 4 is applied, the terminal provides HARQ feedback for all 3 PDSCHs, whether they are correctly received or not.

[0091] The values ​​of the cyclic shift and the PUCCH resource index are only used as an example, and may also be predefined or configured as other values.

[0092] Table 3

[0093] HARQ-ACK Value {1,1,0} {1,0,1} {0,1,1} {1,0,0} {0,1,0} {0,0,1} {0,0,0} cyclic shift 0 3 6 9 0 4 8 PUCCH index 0 0 0 0 1 1 1

[0094] Table 4

[0095] HARQ-ACK Value {1,1,1} {1,1,0} {1,0,1} {0,1,1} {1,0,0} {0,1,0} {0,0,1} {0,0,0} cyclic shift 0 3 6 9 0 3 6 9 PUCCH index 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1

[0096] In this embodiment, different HARQ information is distinguished by cyclic shift (or sequence cyclic shift) and PUCCH resource index. Compared with Example 1, for the same number of PDSCHs, the number of PUCCH resources configured by the base station increases, but the cyclic shift interval between different HARQ information becomes larger, which can increase the accuracy of PUCCH detection.

[0097] It should be noted that this embodiment only lists the case of two PDSCHs or three PDSCHs. The method of this embodiment supports HARQ feedback information of a larger number of PDSCHs, for example, adding more PUCCH resource indexes.

[0098] Example 3

[0099] This example is based on a PUCCH transmission scheme using PUCCH format 0 or PUCCH format 1. Different PUCCH resource indices correspond to different HARQ information. Each terminal determines the PUCCH resource index based on the HARQ information it needs to transmit and the mapping relationship described above.

[0100] In this example, the HARQ information bit values ​​corresponding to different PUCCH resource indices can be determined by a protocol predefined method or a network device configuration method. The network device configures multiple identical PUCCH resources for at least one terminal. The terminal can determine the corresponding PUCCH resource index based on the HARQ information it needs to transmit.

[0101] The specific mapping relationship between the PUCCH resource index (PUCCH index) and HARQ information can be found in Tables 5 and 6 below. Another difference between Tables 5 and 6 is that Table 5 does not contain {1,1,1}, which indicates that all three PDSCHs are correctly received (1 can indicate that the corresponding PDSCH is correctly received). When Table 5 is applied, if the terminal correctly receives all three PDSCHs, HARQ feedback is not required. In other cases, HARQ feedback is required. When Table 6 is applied, the terminal provides HARQ feedback for all three PDSCHs, regardless of whether they are correctly received.

[0102] The value of the PUCCH resource index is only an example and may also be predefined or configured as other values.

[0107] In this embodiment, different HARQ information is distinguished only by the PUCCH resource index. Compared with Example 1 and Example 2, for the same number of PDSCHs, the number of PUCCH resources configured by the base station increases, but one PUCCH resource only corresponds to one cyclic shift (that is, one sequence), which can increase the accuracy of PUCCH detection and reduce the complexity of PUCCH detection in the base station.

[0108] It should be noted that this example only lists the case of three PDSCHs, and the method of this embodiment supports HARQ information of a larger number of PDSCHs, for example, adding more PUCCH resource indexes.

[0109] Example 4

[0110] This example is based on the PUCCH transmission scheme of PUCCH format 1.

[0111] In this example, different HARQ information may be corresponded through combinations of different cyclic shifts and / or time-domain OCCs (ie, orthogonal cover codes or orthogonal sequences).

[0112] For example, PUCCH format 1 of one PRB (14 symbols) supports a maximum of 12 sequences and 7 orthogonal cover codes, that is, one PRB can carry a maximum of 84 HARQ information.

[0113] In this example, different cyclic shift or sequence cyclic shift parameter values ​​and / or HARQ information corresponding to orthogonal cover codes (OCCs) or orthogonal sequences can be determined by protocol pre-definition or network device configuration. The network device configures the same PUCCH resources for at least one terminal.

[0114] The terminal determines the parameter value for calculating the cyclic shift and / or the orthogonal cover code or orthogonal sequence of the PUCCH to be used according to the HARQ information that the terminal needs to transmit.

[0115] The values ​​of the cyclic shift and / or orthogonal cover code or orthogonal sequence are only used as an example and may also be predefined or configured as other values.

[0116] For example, Table 7 shows the mapping relationship between orthogonal sequence and HARQ information.

[0117] Table 7

[0118]

[0119] For example, Tables 8-1 and 8-2 show the mapping relationship between cyclic shift and HARQ information. The difference between Table 8-1 and Table 8-2 lies in whether the case of {1,1,1} exists, that is, the case where all three PDSCHs are correctly received (1 can indicate that the corresponding PDSCH is correctly received). Table 8-1 does not contain {1,1,1}, which means that all three PDSCHs are correctly received (1 can indicate that the corresponding PDSCH is correctly received). When Table 8-1 is applied, if the terminal correctly receives all three PDSCHs, HARQ feedback is not required. In other cases, HARQ feedback is required. When Table 8-2 is applied, the terminal provides HARQ feedback for all three PDSCHs, regardless of whether they are correctly received.

[0120] Table 8-1

[0121] HARQ-ACK Value {1,1,0} {1,0,1} {0,1,1} {1,0,0} {0,1,0} {0,0,1} {0,0,0} cyclic shift 0 2 3 4 6 8 10

[0124] For another example, Table 9-1 and Table 9-2 show the mapping relationship between orthogonal sequence, cyclic shift and HARQ information. The difference between Table 9-1 and Table 9-2 is whether there is a situation of {1,1,1,1}, that is, the situation where all four PDSCHs are correctly received (1 can indicate that the corresponding PDSCH is correctly received). In Table 9-2, there is no {1,1,1,1}, that is, the situation where all four PDSCHs are correctly received (1 can indicate that the corresponding PDSCH is correctly received). When Table 9-2 is applied, if the terminal correctly receives 4 PDSCHs, HARQ feedback is not required, and HARQ feedback is required in other cases. When Table 9-1 is applied, the terminal performs HARQ feedback for all situations whether the 4 PDSCHs are correctly received or not.

[0125] Table 9-1

[0126]

[0127] Table 9-2

[0128]

[0129] It should be noted that this embodiment only lists the case of four PDSCHs, and the method of this embodiment supports HARQ information of a larger number of PDSCHs, such as adding more PUCCH cyclic shifts.

[0130] Example 5

[0131] This example is based on the PUCCH transmission scheme of PUCCH format 1.

[0132] In this example, different HARQ information may be corresponded to by combinations of different cyclic shifts and / or time-domain OCCs (ie, orthogonal cover codes or orthogonal sequences) and / or PUCCH resource indices.

[0133] In this example, different cyclic shift or sequence cyclic shift parameter values ​​and / or orthogonal cover codes (OCCs) or orthogonal sequences and / or HARQ information corresponding to PUCCH resource indices may be determined by protocol pre-definition or network device configuration. The network device configures the same PUCCH resource for at least one terminal.

[0134] The terminal determines the parameter value for calculating the cyclic shift and / or the orthogonal cover code or orthogonal sequence and / or the PUCCH resource index to be used for the PUCCH according to the HARQ information to be transmitted.

[0135] The values ​​of the cyclic shift and / or orthogonal cover code or orthogonal sequence and / or PUCCH resource index are only used as an example and may also be predefined or configured as other values.

[0136] For example, Table 10-1 and Table 10-2 show the mapping relationship between orthogonal sequence, PUCCH resource index and HARQ information. The difference between Table 10-1 and Table 10-2 is whether there is a case of {1,1,1}, that is, the case where all three PDSCHs are correctly received (1 can indicate that the corresponding PDSCH is correctly received). Table 10-1 does not contain {1,1,1}, which means that all three PDSCHs are correctly received (1 can indicate that the corresponding PDSCH is correctly received). When Table 10-1 is applied, if the terminal correctly receives 3 PDSCHs, HARQ feedback is not required, and HARQ feedback is required in other cases. When Table 10-2 is applied, the terminal performs HARQ feedback for all cases whether all 3 PDSCHs are correctly received or not.

[0139] Table 10-2

[0140]

[0141] For another example, Table 11-1 and Table 11-2 show the mapping relationship between orthogonal sequence, cyclic shift, PUCCH resource index and HARQ information. The difference between Table 11-1 and Table 11-2 is whether there is a situation of {1,1,1,1}. That is, the situation where all four PDSCHs are received correctly (1 can indicate that the corresponding PDSCH is received correctly). There is no {1,1,1,1} in Table 11-2, which means that all four PDSCHs are received correctly (1 can indicate that the corresponding PDSCH is received correctly). When Table 11-2 is applied, if the terminal correctly receives 4 PDSCHs, HARQ feedback is not required, and HARQ feedback is required in other cases. When Table 11-1 is applied, the terminal performs HARQ feedback for all situations whether the 4 PDSCHs are received correctly or not.
