Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information transmission method and device. Background Art
[0002] In the Rel-17 dynamic spectrum sharing project, the scheduling of the primary cell (PCell) by the secondary cell (SCell) was studied. From the perspective of configuration flexibility and network deployment adaptability, it is allowed to configure the user equipment-specific search space (USS) on the SCell that schedules the PCell and the scheduled PCell. However, considering the complexity of the terminal, the capacity of the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and the detection of the USS on the SCell and PCell at the same time, there is currently no clear solution on how to detect the downlink control information (DCI) sent in the USS on the SCell used to schedule the PCell and the scheduled PCell.
[0003] In the prior art, the network side can configure multiple service cells for the terminal in order to increase the data transmission rate and improve the user experience. In the Rel-15 / 16 version of the new radio access technology (New RAT, NR) system, PCell can only be used as a scheduling carrier, that is, it is not allowed to be scheduled by SCell. In version 17 (Rel-17), it is determined to support SCell scheduling of PCell. In addition, USS is allowed to be configured on the scheduled PCell. Although the configuration problem of USS has been solved, there are currently different ideas on how to detect USS on PCell and SCell. There is no relevant solution for how to ensure that USS on PCell / PSCell and SCell do not appear at the same time.
[0004] In summary, in the current network, USS can only be configured and detected on the scheduled carrier, which restricts the flexibility and adaptability of network deployment. When PCell / PSCell is scheduled by SCell, USS is allowed to be configured on the scheduled carrier as well as the scheduling carrier. Considering that the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is only transmitted on the scheduled carrier, the base station will not send two DCIs in different USSs at the same time. Therefore, when the terminal needs to monitor the USS on two carriers at the same time, it will increase the complexity of terminal-side blind detection. Summary of the invention

[0071] The following is a detailed description of each embodiment of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the display order of the embodiments of the present application only represents the order of the embodiments, and does not represent the advantages and disadvantages of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments.
[0072] The embodiment of the present application realizes that the USS on the scheduling carrier and the scheduled carrier will not overlap or conflict in the time domain through explicit and / or implicit methods. The scheduling carrier is a carrier used to send a PDCCH that schedules a data channel on another carrier. The scheduled carrier refers to a carrier on which a data channel is scheduled through a PDCCH transmitted on another carrier or the carrier itself.
[0073] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described below from different aspects.
[0074] Terminal side:
[0075] The terminal detects and receives the USS at different time domain monitoring positions on the scheduling carrier (hereinafter also referred to as the first carrier) and the scheduled carrier (hereinafter also referred to as the second carrier) according to the configuration of the network side or the predefined rule. Specifically, it can be implemented by at least one of the following methods:
[0076] Method 1: Determine the USS time domain monitoring position on the second carrier through the USS configuration on the first carrier.
[0077] The first carrier and the second carrier are both configured with USS. When the monitoring positions of the USS of the first carrier and the second carrier overlap in the time domain, that is, at least one orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol overlaps, the terminal only monitors the USS of the first carrier (or the USS of the second carrier, that is, only monitors the USS of one of the carriers) at this moment. Among them, the USS is semi-statically configured through RRC signaling, that is, the UE already knows the time domain monitoring position of the USS before detecting and receiving the PDCCH. Based on this prior information, the terminal can know whether the monitoring positions of the USS on the first carrier and the second carrier overlap in the time domain.
[0078] When the monitoring positions of the USSs of the first carrier and the second carrier overlap in the time domain, the terminal determines the monitoring time domain monitoring position of the USS on the second carrier according to the USS configured on the first carrier.
[0079] For example, a time domain offset is performed according to the USS monitoring position on the first carrier, and it is ensured that the USS on the second carrier after the offset does not overlap with the USS on the first carrier in the time domain.
[0080] The time domain offset value is determined by predefinition or high-level signaling configuration, such as a slot-level offset, a cycle-level offset, or an OFDM symbol offset.
[0081] Method 2: When the USSs on the first carrier and the second carrier overlap in the time domain, the USS on the second carrier is delayed until a time domain monitoring position is found that can transmit the downlink control channel and does not overlap with the USS on the first carrier (i.e., the USS on one of the carriers is delayed for monitoring so that it does not overlap with the monitoring time of the USS on the other carrier).
[0082] The USS is configured on both the first carrier and the second carrier. When the monitoring positions of the USSs of the first carrier and the second carrier overlap in the time domain, that is, at least one OFDM symbol overlaps, the terminal only monitors the USS of the first carrier (or the USS of the second carrier, that is, only monitors the USS of one of the carriers) at this moment (that is, the overlapping time domain position).
[0083] When the monitoring positions of the USSs of the first carrier and the second carrier overlap in the time domain, the terminal does not monitor the USS on the second carrier at this moment (i.e., the overlapping time domain monitoring position), and monitors the USS on the second carrier at the nearest downlink symbol after this moment (i.e., does not monitor the USS of one of the carriers at the overlapping time domain monitoring position, but monitors it at the nearest downlink symbol thereafter).
[0084] Furthermore, the USS on the second carrier can only be delayed within its configured period. If the time domain monitoring position for transmitting the USS on the second carrier still cannot be found within a transmission period, no delay will be performed and the USS will be discarded (i.e., the UE no longer monitors the USS).
[0085] Method 3: Determine how to monitor USS on the first carrier and the second carrier according to the USS monitoring pattern (USS monitoring pattern) of the first carrier and / or the second carrier configured on the network side. Among them, regarding the USS monitoring pattern of the first carrier and / or the second carrier configured on the network side, it can be a USS monitoring pattern configured for the two carriers respectively, or it can be a USS monitoring pattern configured for only one of the carriers. Both methods can achieve that the USS on the two carriers do not overlap in the time domain.
[0086] The base station configures a USS monitoring pattern for the first carrier and / or the second carrier, and the USS monitoring pattern notifies the terminal of a time domain range in which the USS needs to be monitored on the first carrier and / or the second carrier.
[0087] The USS monitoring pattern of the first carrier and / or the second carrier ensures that the USS monitoring positions on the two carriers do not overlap in the time domain.
[0088] Furthermore, the USS monitoring pattern is effective only for USSs that conflict in the time domain (ie, overlap in the time domain monitoring positions) between the first carrier and the second carrier, and the terminal ignores the monitoring pattern for USS monitoring positions that do not conflict in the time domain.
[0089] Base station side:
[0090] The base station ensures that the USS monitoring positions configured on the first carrier and the second carrier do not overlap in the time domain by the following method.
[0091] Method 1: Determine the USS time domain monitoring position on the second carrier through the USS configuration on the first carrier.
[0092] Method 2: When the USSs on the first carrier and the second carrier overlap in the time domain, the USS on the second carrier is delayed until a time domain monitoring position is found that can transmit the downlink control channel and does not overlap with the USS on the first carrier.
[0093] Method 3: configure the first carrier and / or the second carrier to configure a USS monitoring pattern to inform the terminal how to monitor the USS on the first carrier and the second carrier.
[0094] Embodiment 1:
[0095] Assume that the PCell of the NR UE and the LTE base station are deployed on the same frequency band. In order to avoid interference from the Cell Reference Signal (CRS) of the LTE system, the base station (gNB) needs to avoid the resource elements (RE) occupied by the LTE CRS when sending the NR PDCCH. In order to ensure the flexibility of network deployment and scheduling, and reduce the blocking possibility of PDCCH on the NR PCell / PSCell, the SCell is allowed to schedule the PCell.
[0096] In this embodiment, it is assumed that USS is configured on both the scheduling SCell and the scheduled PCell / PSCell. Monitoring the USS on the scheduling carrier and the scheduled carrier at the same time will cause a huge burden on the terminal side. This embodiment implements the time division multiplexing (TDM) transmission of USS on the scheduling SCell and the scheduled PCell / PSCell through a configuration method.
[0097] In this embodiment, the USS time domain monitoring position on the second carrier is determined by USS configuration on the first carrier. The first carrier and the second carrier may be determined by Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration or in a predefined manner.
[0098] In this embodiment, it is assumed that the first carrier is the SCell that schedules the PCell, and the second carrier is the scheduled PCell. When the first carrier and the second carrier are both configured with USS, and the monitoring positions of the USS of the first carrier and the second carrier overlap in the time domain, the terminal only monitors the USS on the first carrier at this moment, and determines the actual monitoring position of the USS on the second carrier based on the USS of the first carrier.
[0099] In this embodiment, it is assumed that the period of the USS on the first carrier and the USS on the second carrier are both 1, and the CORESET (control-resource set, a set of physical resource sets, consisting of multiple resource blocks (RBs) in the frequency domain and 1, 2 or 3 OFDM symbols in the time domain) associated with the USS is 3 OFDM symbols, that is, the USS on the first carrier and the second carrier are transmitted on the first three OFDM symbols of each slot, such as Figure 1 This embodiment assumes that the USS on the first carrier and the USS on the second carrier have different search space numbers.
[0100] In order to realize TDM transmission of USS on the first carrier and the second carrier, this embodiment determines the actual time domain monitoring position of USS transmission on the second carrier by the following method: performing time domain offset according to the USS monitoring position on the first carrier, and ensuring that the USS on the second carrier after the offset does not overlap with the USS on the first carrier in the time domain.
[0101] In this embodiment, it is assumed that the time domain offset value is 3 OFDM symbols. Figure 2 As shown, that is, the terminal no longer attempts to detect the USS on the first three symbols according to the original configuration, but detects the USS according to the actual time domain listening position after the shift.
[0102] Embodiment 2:
[0103] Assume that the PCell of the NR UE and the LTE base station are deployed on the same frequency band. To avoid CRS interference from the LTE system, the gNB needs to avoid the REs occupied by the LTE CRS when sending the NR PDCCH. To ensure the flexibility of network deployment and scheduling, and to reduce the PDCCH blockage on the NR PCell / PSCell, the SCell is allowed to schedule the PCell.
[0104] In this embodiment, it is assumed that USS is configured on both the scheduling SCell and the scheduled PCell / PSCell. Monitoring the USS on the scheduling carrier and the scheduled carrier at the same time will cause a huge burden on the terminal side. This embodiment implements TDM transmission of USS on the scheduling SCell and the scheduled PCell / PSCell through a configuration method.
[0105] In this embodiment, the USS time domain monitoring position on the second carrier is determined by configuring the USS on the first carrier. The first carrier and the second carrier can be determined by RRC configuration or a predefined method. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the first carrier is the SCell that schedules the PCell, and the second carrier is the scheduled PCell. When the first carrier and the second carrier are both configured with USS, and the monitoring positions of the USS of the first carrier and the second carrier overlap in the time domain, the terminal only monitors the USS on the first carrier at this moment, and determines the actual monitoring position of the USS on the second carrier based on the USS of the first carrier.
[0106] In this embodiment, it is assumed that the USS numbers on the first carrier and the second carrier are the same, and accordingly, the two have the same monitoring period and the same time domain monitoring position.
[0107] Similar to the method in Example 1, the USS on the second carrier determines the actual monitoring position according to the USS on the first carrier. The specific method is to perform a certain time domain offset according to the actual transmission position of the USS on the first carrier, such as Figure 3 The offset value (offset) is N slots or M symbols (symbol), and after the offset, it is ensured that the USS on the second carrier does not overlap with the USS on the first carrier in the time domain.
[0108] Embodiment 3:
[0109] Assume that the PCell of the NR UE and the LTE base station are deployed on the same frequency band. In order to avoid CRS interference from the LTE system, the gNB needs to avoid the REs occupied by the LTE CRS when sending the NR PDCCH. In order to ensure the flexibility of network deployment and scheduling, and to reduce the PDCCH collision probability (blocking possibility) on the NR PCell / PSCell, the SCell is allowed to schedule the PCell.
[0110] In this embodiment, it is assumed that USS is configured on both the scheduling SCell and the scheduled PCell / PSCell. Monitoring the USS on the scheduling carrier and the scheduled carrier at the same time will cause a huge burden on the terminal side. This embodiment implements TDM transmission of USS on the scheduling SCell and the scheduled PCell / PSCell through a configuration method.
[0111] In this embodiment, it is assumed that the first carrier is the SCell that schedules the PCell, and the second carrier is the scheduled PCell. When the first carrier and the second carrier are both configured with USS, and the monitoring positions of the USS of the first carrier and the second carrier overlap in the time domain, the terminal only monitors the USS on the first carrier at this moment, and delays the actual monitoring position of the USS on the second carrier. That is, the USS on the second carrier is monitored on the nearest downlink symbol after this moment. The first carrier and the second carrier can be determined by RRC configuration or predefined method. Figure 4 As a specific example. Figure 4 In the example, it is assumed that the USS monitoring period of the first carrier is 2 slots, and the USS of the second carrier is 4 slots. The USSs of the first carrier and the second carrier overlap in slot#1 and slot#4. At this time, the terminal detects the USS on the first carrier in slot#1 and slot#4, and delays the USS on the second carrier.
[0112] In this embodiment, the USS of the second carrier is delayed by one slot. Of course, the specific delay time may be N OFDM symbols, N slots, or N cycles, and this application does not impose any limitation.
[0113] It should be noted that the present application does not impose any limitation on various configurations such as the period of the USS on the first carrier and the second carrier.
[0114] Furthermore, the USS on the second carrier can only be delayed within its configured period. If the time domain monitoring position for transmitting the USS on the second carrier still cannot be found within a transmission period, no further delay is performed and the USS is discarded.
[0115] Embodiment 4:
[0116] Assume that the PCell of the NR UE and the LTE base station are deployed on the same frequency band. To avoid CRS interference from the LTE system, the gNB needs to avoid the REs occupied by the LTE CRS when sending the NR PDCCH. To ensure the flexibility of network deployment and scheduling, and to reduce the PDCCH blockage on the NR PCell / PSCell, the SCell is allowed to schedule the PCell.
[0117] In this embodiment, it is assumed that USS is configured on both the scheduling SCell and the scheduled PCell / PSCell. Monitoring the USS on the scheduling carrier and the scheduled carrier at the same time will cause a huge burden on the terminal side. This embodiment implements TDM transmission of USS on the scheduling SCell and the scheduled PCell / PSCell through a configuration method.
[0118] In this embodiment, the network side configures the first carrier and / or the second carrier USS monitoring pattern for the terminal to inform the terminal how to monitor the USS on the first carrier and the second carrier. Specifically, the base station configures the USS monitoring pattern for the first carrier and / or the second carrier, and the pattern informs the terminal of the time domain range in which the USS needs to be monitored on the carrier. The USS monitoring pattern of the first carrier and / or the second carrier ensures that the USS monitoring positions on the two carriers do not overlap in the time domain.
[0119] As a specific example, assume that the network side configures USS#1 on the first carrier and USS#2 on the second carrier. Additionally, USS monitoring patterns are configured for the first carrier and the second carrier, respectively. The terminal determines how to monitor USS on the first carrier and the second carrier according to the USS configuration and the USS monitoring pattern. The specific configuration method of the USS monitoring pattern can be implemented by, but not limited to, the following methods:
[0120] Method 1: Configure the starting slot and duration of the USS monitoring pattern, and specify whether to monitor or not monitor the USS during the time period.
[0121] Method 2: Configure the starting number of the monitoring location (MO, Monitoring Occasion) included in the USS monitoring pattern and the number of MOs included, and specify whether to monitor or not monitor the USS within the time period.
[0122] like Figure 5 As shown, the broken line shows the USS monitoring pattern.
[0123] Embodiment 5:
[0124] As described in the method of embodiment 4, a USS monitoring pattern is configured for the first carrier and / or the second carrier. The USSs on the first carrier and the second carrier have different periods.
[0125] Based on the method described in Embodiment 4, in this embodiment, the monitoring pattern is effective only when the USSs of the first carrier and the second carrier collide in the time domain.
