[0047] In the related research of low-capability terminals, namely RedCap terminals, in order to reduce the terminal cost, the means adopted include but are not limited to: reducing the number of terminal receiving antennas, reducing the maximum bandwidth of the terminal, supporting half-duplex frequency division duplexing (FDD, Frequency Division Duplexing), reducing the terminal processing time requirements, and reducing the terminal processing capacity requirements. The fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G, 5 thThe 1st Generation (2nd Generation) system defines the system bandwidth of terminals in different frequency bands, and puts forward high requirements on terminal capabilities. Reducing the maximum bandwidth of the terminal means reducing the maximum bandwidth of the terminal from 100 MHz to 20 MHz for frequency range 1 (FR1) and from 200 MHz to 100 MHz for frequency range 2 (FR2). Therefore, if the maximum bandwidth of the terminal can be reduced, the cost and complexity of the terminal will be reduced from both the RF and baseband perspectives.

[0048] Taking FR1 as an example, the bandwidth of 20MHz is the maximum bandwidth of the RedCap terminal. For the non-RedCap terminal, although the maximum bandwidth of the control resource set 0 (COREST#0, Control Resource Set 0) during the access process is also 20MHz, the network side can reconfigure the initial uplink (Uplink) BWP through the system information block 1 (SIB1, System Information Block 1) message, that is, the initial uplink BWP used in the random access process of the non-RedCap terminal can be the initial uplink BWP after the SIB1 reconfiguration.

[0049] In the initial random access process, when the terminal initiates a random access request, it will receive a random access response (RAR) from the network side. RAR is used to schedule the terminal to transmit the PUSCH of MSG.3. In the related art, the network side can configure whether to use frequency hopping when scheduling MSG.3 or when MSG.3 is retransmitted. When frequency hopping is enabled, the frequency domain offset value of the second hop is determined based on Table 8.3-1 in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) protocol.

[0050] Table 1

[0051]

[0052]

[0053] It can be seen from Table 1 that when the number of RBs corresponding to the initial uplink BWP is greater than or equal to 50 RBs, the frequency domain offset value of the second hop can be or

[0054] In the related art, when intra-slot frequency hopping is used, the starting RB of the terminal in each hop is determined according to the following formula:

[0055]

[0056] Where i=0 represents the first hop during frequency hopping; i=1 represents the second hop during frequency hopping; RB offset Characterizes the RB interval between the first hop and the second hop during frequency hopping; Indicates the number of RBs corresponding to the initial uplink BWP configured on the network side.

[0057] When inter-slot frequency hopping is used, The starting RB is determined according to the following formula:

[0058]

[0059] in, It is the sequence number of the time slot in which the current multi-slot PUSCH transmission occurs within a radio frame.

[0060] At the same time, in the related technology, for MSG.3 scheduled by RAR, the frequency hopping offset is not configured by the radio resource control (RRC), and the frequency domain offset value of the second hop during frequency hopping is determined by 1 or 2 bit values ​​of the frequency hopping bit in the protocol-related table. In addition, for non-RedCap terminals, there is a situation where the bandwidth of the initial uplink BWP after reconfiguration on the network side is greater than 20MHz. Based on the above situation, when the RedCap terminal coexists with the non-RedCap terminal, the base station schedules the MSG.3 of the RedCap terminal through RAR, and the current initial uplink BWP is reconfigured to 100MHz by the network side. When the subcarrier is 30KHz, the number of RBs corresponding to the initial uplink BWP is 273, and The corresponding RB numbers are 136 and 68 respectively. When the 20MHz bandwidth corresponds to a 30KHz subcarrier spacing, the corresponding RB number is 51. At this time, the base station cannot enable frequency hopping for the RedCap terminal, otherwise the RedCap terminal will jump out of the maximum bandwidth of the RedCap terminal.

[0061] For example, if the initial uplink BPW is configured to be 100 MHz, the current indicated starting RB position is 20, and the frequency domain offset value of the second hop is Then the RB starting position of the second hop calculated by the above formula is 156. In this way, the span of the two frequency hops has obviously exceeded 20MHz, that is, it exceeds the maximum bandwidth of the RedCap terminal. In other words, if the RedCap terminal coexists with the non-RedCap terminal and the network side reconfigures a larger initial uplink BWP for the non-RedCap terminal, the Msg.3 transmission of the RedCap terminal will not be possible.

[0062] Based on this, in an embodiment of the present application, the terminal determines the starting RB for PUSCH frequency hopping; wherein the starting RB is determined based on a first parameter of the terminal; the first parameter characterizes the number of RBs corresponding to the maximum bandwidth of the terminal or the number of RBs corresponding to the terminal type. Based on the above-mentioned frequency hopping configuration method, the RedCap terminal can determine the starting RB for PUSCH frequency hopping according to the number of RBs corresponding to the maximum bandwidth or the number of RBs corresponding to the terminal type. Such a configuration can avoid the situation where the RedCap terminal jumps out of the maximum bandwidth when the RedCap terminal coexists with the non-RedCap terminal, and the RedCap terminal can enjoy the frequency domain diversity gain through PUSCH frequency hopping.

[0063] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0064] The present application embodiment provides a frequency hopping configuration method, which is applied to a terminal, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0065] Step 101: The terminal determines the starting RB for PUSCH frequency hopping; wherein:

[0066] The starting RB is determined based on a first parameter of the terminal; the first parameter represents the number of RBs corresponding to the maximum bandwidth of the terminal or the number of RBs corresponding to the terminal type.

[0067] Here, the first parameter may be the maximum bandwidth of the terminal or the terminal type, that is, the first parameter can characterize the number of RBs corresponding to the maximum bandwidth of the terminal or the number of RBs corresponding to the terminal type. When the first parameter is the maximum bandwidth of the terminal, the corresponding number of RBs can be determined according to the maximum bandwidth of the terminal; when the first parameter is the terminal type of the terminal, the maximum bandwidth of the terminal can be determined according to the terminal type, and then the number of RBs corresponding to the maximum bandwidth of the terminal can be determined. For example, if the terminal type characterized by the first parameter is a low-capability terminal, i.e., a RedCap terminal, then it can be determined that the maximum bandwidth of the RedCap terminal is 20MHz, and when the subcarrier spacing is 30KHz, the number of RBs corresponding to the 20MHz bandwidth is 51.

[0068] Considering that the bandwidth of the initial uplink BWP configured on the network side is large, the RedCap terminal may jump out of the maximum bandwidth when performing PUSCH frequency hopping. Therefore, when the initial uplink BWP configured in the physical broadcast channel (PBCH, Physical Broadcast Channel) or SIB 1 message is greater than the maximum bandwidth of the terminal, the starting RB for PUSCH frequency hopping of the terminal is configured.

[0069] In one embodiment, when determining the starting RB, the method includes:

[0070] A modulo operation is performed on the number of RBs corresponding to the maximum bandwidth of the terminal or the number of RBs corresponding to the terminal type.

[0071] Wherein, when the terminal enables frequency hopping within a timeslot, the terminal determines the starting RB for PUSCH frequency hopping based on one of the following formulas:

[0072]

[0073]

[0074] Where i=0 represents the first hop during frequency hopping; i=1 represents the second hop during frequency hopping; RB start Indicates the starting RB in the uplink BWP; RB offset Characterizes the RB interval between the first hop and the second hop during frequency hopping; Characterizes the number of RBs corresponding to the maximum bandwidth of the terminal or the number of RBs corresponding to the terminal type.

[0075] The terminal determines the starting RB of PUSCH frequency hopping based on formula (1), and the base station ensures that the starting RB of each hop of PUSCH frequency hopping allocated to the terminal during resource allocation is located at the lowest initial uplink BWP configured on the network side. RB. Figure 2 , the number of RBs corresponding to the initial uplink BWP configured on the network side is The number of RBs corresponding to the maximum bandwidth of the RedCap terminal is That is to say, the bandwidth of the initial uplink BWP configured by the network side is greater than the maximum bandwidth of the RedCap terminal. In the left figure, the starting RB of the second hop of the terminal during frequency hopping is located at the lowest RB in the initial uplink BWP configured by the network side. Based on the above formula (1), as shown in the figure on the right, the starting RB of the second hop when the terminal frequency hops is still located at the lowest RB in the initial uplink BWP configured on the network side. RBs, and does not exceed the maximum bandwidth of the RedCap terminal.

[0076] In actual application, if the base station wants to schedule the transmission of MSG3 in multiple subbands of the initial uplink BWP, the terminal determines the starting RB of PUSCH frequency hopping based on formula (2). Figure 3 For example, if the initial uplink BWP configured by the network side is 100MHz, then when the maximum bandwidth of the RedCap terminal is 20MHz, the RedCap terminal can be scheduled to work in any of the five 20MHz sub-bands. In the left figure, the terminal works in a 20MHz sub-band before the second hop of the frequency hopping, and works in another 20MHz sub-band after the second hop. Based on the above formula (2), see the right figure, the terminal works in the same 20MHz sub-band before and after the second hop, and does not exceed the range of one 20MHz sub-band.

[0077] Based on the ideas of the above formula (1) and formula (2), when the terminal enables inter-time slot frequency hopping, the terminal determines the starting RB of the first time slot during PUSCH frequency hopping based on one of the following formulas:

[0078]

[0079]

[0080] in, The number of the time slot in which the current PUSCH transmission occurs within a radio frame; RB start Indicates the starting RB in the uplink BWP; RB offset Represents the RB interval between two adjacent hops in a wireless frame; Characterizes the number of RBs corresponding to the maximum bandwidth of the terminal or the number of RBs corresponding to the terminal type.

[0081] In actual application, frequency hopping also needs to ensure that the transmissions of different two hops are evenly distributed in the current frequency domain resources, otherwise the effect of frequency hopping will be affected. For example, assuming that the current initial uplink BWP is reconfigured to 100MHz, when the subcarrier is 30KHz, the number of RBs corresponding to the initial uplink BWP is 273. and The corresponding number of RBs is 136 and 68 respectively. Assuming that the maximum bandwidth of the RedCap terminal is 20MHz, the corresponding number of RBs is 51. By indicating different frequency hopping offset values, the transmission of the second hop with a different transmission interval from the first hop can be achieved. Table 2 shows the frequency domain interval of the two hops when the number of RBs of the frequency hopping interval is 136 and 68 respectively when the starting RB of each hop configured by the network side is different. In it, it is assumed that the network side only wants the terminal to use the lowest position in the current frequency domain resource position. RBs, so the starting position of each hop RB ranges from 0 to 50:

[0082] Table 2

[0083]

[0084]

[0085] It can be seen from Table 2 that although different frequency hopping intervals are indicated, the frequency domain interval between two hops is either 17 or 34 RBs. To achieve a relatively even distribution of transmissions of different two hops in the current frequency domain resources, the frequency domain offset value of each hop needs to be updated.

[0086] Based on this, in one embodiment, the terminal determines the starting RB for PUSCH frequency hopping, including:

[0087] The terminal determines a frequency domain offset value of a second hop during PUSCH frequency hopping.

[0088] In actual application, when the bandwidth of the initial uplink BWP configured by the network side indicated in the PBCH or SIB 1 is greater than the maximum bandwidth of the terminal, the terminal determines the frequency domain offset value of the second hop when the PUSCH frequency hops.

[0089] In one embodiment, the frequency domain offset value of the second hop determined by the terminal is one of a plurality of first candidate values.

[0090] In one embodiment, the method further comprises:

[0091] The terminal receives the multiple first candidate values ​​configured by the network side.

[0092] Here, the network side may configure multiple first candidate values ​​of the frequency domain offset value of the second hop for the terminal. In one embodiment, the terminal determines the frequency domain offset value of the second hop when the PUSCH frequency hops, including:

[0093] The terminal determines the frequency domain offset value of two adjacent hops during PUSCH frequency hopping from the multiple first candidate values ​​through the bit values ​​of M frequency hopping bits in the uplink scheduling grant; M is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0094] In actual application, one more column may be added based on Table 1, so that the network side can indicate multiple first candidate values ​​to the terminal through the bit values ​​of the M frequency hopping bits in the uplink scheduling grant. UL,hop .

[0095] Here, several methods for determining the frequency domain offset value of the second hop during PUSCH frequency hopping are given:

[0096] Method 1:

[0097] In one embodiment, the frequency domain offset value of the second hop is related to the first coefficient; the first coefficient is determined based on the first parameter of the terminal and the number of RBs corresponding to the initial uplink BWP configured on the network side.

[0098] Here, the frequency domain offset value of the second hop during PUSCH frequency hopping is determined by multiplying the original frequency domain offset value of the second hop by a first coefficient. The original frequency domain offset value of the second hop may be the frequency domain offset value of the second hop indicated by the bit value of the frequency hopping bit in Table 1.

[0099] For example, when the network side configures an initial uplink BWP of 100 MHz for the terminal and the maximum bandwidth of the terminal is 20 MHz, the bandwidth of the initial uplink BWP configured by the network side is 5 times the maximum bandwidth of the terminal. Then the first coefficient can be set to 1 / 5, and the terminal multiplies the frequency domain offset value indicated by the bit value of the frequency hopping bit in Table 1 by 1 / 5 to determine the frequency domain offset value of the second hop during PUSCH frequency hopping.

[0100] In actual application, during the initial access phase of the terminal, for FR1, the available subcarrier spacing of the terminal during data transmission is 15KHz or 30KHz, and for FR2, the available subcarrier spacing is 60KHz or 120KHz. Then, when the number of RBs corresponding to the initial uplink BWP configured on the network side is less than 50, for FR1, the total bandwidth is less than 20MH, and for FR2, the total bandwidth is less than 100MHz, both of which are within the maximum bandwidth of the RedCap terminal. In other words, when the number of RBs corresponding to the initial uplink BWP configured on the network side is less than 50, the frequency domain offset value of the second hop does not need to be changed. When the number of RBs corresponding to the initial uplink BWP configured on the network side is greater than or equal to 50, the frequency domain offset value needs to be adjusted. Therefore, in order to set a first coefficient with a more flexible value, in one embodiment, the first coefficient F is determined based on the following formula:

[0101]

[0102] in, Characterize the number of RBs corresponding to the maximum bandwidth of the terminal or the number of RBs corresponding to the terminal type; Indicates the number of RBs corresponding to the initial uplink BWP configured on the network side.

[0103] When a plurality of first candidate values ​​are sent to the terminal by adding corresponding columns on the basis of Table 1, Mode 1 corresponds to the example of Table 3, wherein a column of "frequency domain offset of the second hop of a specific terminal type" is added on the basis of Table 1:

[0104] Table 3

[0105]

[0106] In actual application, since the initial uplink BWP configured by the network side is flexible and variable, the above method of determining the first coefficient based on the number of RBs corresponding to the initial uplink BWP configured by the network side cannot match the bandwidth well. Based on this, in one embodiment, the multiple first candidate values ​​are determined based on the product of the number of RBs corresponding to the maximum bandwidth of the terminal and different constant factors, or based on the product of the number of RBs corresponding to the terminal type of the terminal and different constant factors.

[0107] Here, predefined This value corresponds to the number of RBs corresponding to the maximum bandwidth of the terminal in the current frequency band. If the maximum bandwidth of the terminal in FR1 is 20MHz and the subcarrier spacing is 30KHz, is 51, when the maximum bandwidth of the terminal in FR2 is 100MHz and the subcarrier spacing is 60KHz, is 132.

[0108] When a plurality of first candidate values ​​are sent to the terminal by adding corresponding columns on the basis of Table 1, Mode 2 corresponds to the example of Table 4, wherein a column of "frequency domain offset of the second hop of a specific terminal type" is added on the basis of Table 1:

[0109] Table 4

[0110]

[0111] Method 3:

[0112] The network side configures the frequency domain offset value through the reserved field indicated when the bit value corresponding to the frequency hopping bit is 11. Mode 3 corresponds to the example of Table 5:

[0113] Table 5

[0114]

[0115] Method 4:

[0116] A plurality of first candidate values ​​exclusive to the RedCap terminal are configured through the SIB1 message.

[0117] In actual application, when the bandwidth of the initial uplink BWP configured by the network side for a non-RedCap terminal is greater than the maximum bandwidth of a RedCap terminal, the network side configures up to 4 first candidate values ​​for the terminal at the same time through the SIB1 message. Similarly, the terminal determines the frequency domain offset value of the second hop through the bit value of the frequency hopping bit in the RAR.

[0118] The frequency hopping configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application determines the starting RB of PUSCH frequency hopping according to the number of RBs corresponding to the maximum bandwidth of the terminal. Among them, the starting RB is determined based on the first parameter of the terminal; the first parameter characterizes the number of RBs corresponding to the maximum bandwidth of the terminal or the number of RBs corresponding to the terminal type. Further, the frequency domain offset value of the second hop of PUSCH frequency hopping is determined according to the first parameter of the terminal. Based on the above-mentioned frequency hopping configuration method, the RedCap terminal can determine the RB starting position of PUSCH frequency hopping according to the number of RBs corresponding to the maximum bandwidth or the number of RBs corresponding to the terminal type. When the RedCap terminal coexists with the non-RedCap terminal and the bandwidth of the initial uplink BWP reconfigured by the network side is greater than the maximum bandwidth of the RedCap terminal, such a configuration can avoid the situation where the RedCap terminal jumps out of the maximum bandwidth, and the RedCap terminal can enjoy the frequency domain diversity gain through PUSCH frequency hopping.

[0119] In order to implement the method of the embodiment of the present application, the embodiment of the present application also provides a frequency hopping configuration device, which is set on the terminal. Figure 4 As shown, the device comprises:

[0128] In one embodiment, when the terminal enables inter-slot frequency hopping, the determining unit 501 determines the starting RB during PUSCH frequency hopping based on one of the following formulas:

[0129]

[0130]

[0131] in, The number of the time slot in which the current PUSCH transmission occurs within a radio frame; RB start Indicates the starting RB in the uplink BWP; RB offset Characterizes the RB interval between two adjacent hops; Characterizes the number of RBs corresponding to the maximum bandwidth of the terminal or the number of RBs corresponding to the terminal type.

[0132] In one embodiment, the determining unit 401 is used to determine a frequency domain offset value of a second hop during PUSCH frequency hopping.

[0133] In one embodiment, the frequency domain offset value of the second hop determined by the determining unit 401 is one of a plurality of first candidate values.

[0134] In one embodiment, the device further comprises:

[0135] A receiving unit is used for the terminal to receive the multiple first candidate values ​​configured by the network side.

[0136] In one embodiment, the determining unit 401 is used to:

[0137] The frequency domain offset value of two adjacent hops during PUSCH frequency hopping is determined from the multiple first candidate values ​​through the bit values ​​of the M frequency hopping bits in the uplink scheduling grant; and M is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0138] In one embodiment, the frequency domain offset value of the second hop is related to the first coefficient; the first coefficient is determined based on the first parameter of the terminal and the number of RBs corresponding to the initial uplink BWP of the terminal configured on the network side.

[0139] In one embodiment, the first coefficient F is determined based on the following formula:

[0141] in, Characterize the number of RBs corresponding to the maximum bandwidth of the terminal or the number of RBs corresponding to the terminal type; It represents the number of RBs corresponding to the initial uplink BWP configured on the network side.
