Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a method, apparatus, and readable storage medium for transmitting time-domain resource configuration information. Background Art

[0002] The sounding reference signal (SRS) can provide a reference for the base station to determine the uplink channel quality, and is used as an auxiliary to judge the quality of the radio frequency transmission path between the mobile terminal antenna and the base station antenna. A user equipment (UE) can be configured with multiple different SRS resource sets, and each SRS resource set is transmitted in different time slots.

[0003] Before Release 17 of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), each SRS resource set was configured at a time-domain position set in a single time slot, so there was a certain time difference between the SRS resource sets in adjacent time slots. In 3GPP Rel-17, each SRS resource set can be configured at any position in a single time slot, and 3GPP can configure a set protection interval for the SRS resource sets on two consecutive time slots to prevent the number of symbols between the SRS resource sets in adjacent time slots from being 0. In this scenario, the problem of how to improve the time slot utilization efficiency needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

Among them, the access network device refers to a device with a network access function, such as a radio access network (RAN) base station, etc. The network device 103 may specifically include a base station (BS), or include a base station and a radio resource management device for controlling the base station, etc. The network device 102 may also include a relay station (relay device), an access point, and base stations in future 5G networks, base stations in future evolved PLMN networks, or NR base stations, etc. The network device 102 may be a wearable device or a vehicle-mounted device.

[0075] For example, the network device 102 includes but is not limited to: the next-generation base station (gnodeB, gNB) in 5G, the evolved node B (eNB) in the LTE system, the radio network controller (RNC), the node B (NB) in the WCDMA system, the radio controller under the CRAN system, the base station controller (BSC), the base transceiver station (BTS) in the GSM system or the CDMA system, the home base station (for example, home evolved nodeB, or home node B, HNB), the baseband unit (BBU), the transmitting and receiving point (TRP), the transmitting point (TP), or the mobile switching center, etc.

[0076] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for transmitting time-domain resource configuration information. Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a method for transmitting time-domain resource configuration information shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 2 shown, the method includes steps S201 to S203. Specifically:

[0077] Step S201, the network device 102 sends time-domain transmission configuration information to the user equipment 101;

[0078] Step S202, the user equipment 101 receives the time-domain transmission configuration information sent by the network device 102;

[0079] Among them, the time-domain transmission configuration information includes a first position, a second position, a third position, and a fourth position. The first position is used to indicate the time-domain position of the last time-domain unit occupied by the first SRS resource set in the first time slot. The second position is used to indicate the time-domain position of the first time-domain unit occupied by the second SRS resource set in the second time slot. The third position is used to indicate the start position of the time-domain interval for uplink channel transmission located between the first position and the second position. The fourth position is used to indicate the end position of the time-domain interval for uplink channel transmission located between the first position and the second position.

[0080] In some possible implementation manners, the first time slot and the second time slot are two consecutive time slots.

[0081] In an example, the first time slot is SlotN, and the second time slot is SlotN + 1.

[0082] In some possible implementation manners, the interval between the first SRS resource set in the first time slot and the second SRS resource set in the second time slot is T1 symbols, that is, the interval T1 between the first position and the second position satisfies: T1 is greater than or equal to the guard interval Y. It can be understood that if the interval between the first position and the second position is too large, it will cause waste of transmission time resources.

[0083] In an example, referring to Table 1, there is a mapping correspondence between the value of the guard interval Y and the value of the subcarrier spacing (SCS).

[0084] Table 1

[0085]

[0086]

[0087] Among them, according to different SCSs, the value of the guard interval Y ranges from 1 to 2 symbols, and the interval between the first position and the second position is greater than or equal to Y.

[0088] In some possible implementation manners, the user equipment 101 can perform signal transmission of the uplink channel between the third position and the fourth position.

[0089] In an example, the user equipment 101 transmits a signal of the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) between the third position and the fourth position.

[0090] In one example, the user equipment 101 transmits a signal of a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) between a third position and a fourth position.

[0091] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the network device 102 configures the third position and the fourth position respectively in the interval between the first position and the second position, so that the user equipment 101 can perform uplink transmission by using the interval between the SRS resource sets in two consecutive time slots, effectively and reasonably utilize the interval between the SRS resource sets in two adjacent time slots for signal transmission of the uplink channel, improve the utilization efficiency of the time slots, and reduce the waste of transmission time resources.

[0092] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for receiving time-domain resource configuration information, and this method is executed by the user equipment 101. Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a method for receiving time-domain resource configuration information shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 3 shown, this method includes step S301. Specifically:

[0093] Step S301, receiving time-domain transmission configuration information sent by the network device;

[0094] Wherein, the time-domain transmission configuration information includes a first position, a second position, a third position, and a fourth position. The first position is used to indicate the time-domain position of the last time-domain unit occupied by the first SRS resource set in the first time slot. The second position is used to indicate the time-domain position of the first time-domain unit occupied by the second SRS resource set in the second time slot. The third position is used to indicate the start position of the time-domain interval for uplink channel transmission located between the first position and the second position. The fourth position is used to indicate the end position of the time-domain interval for uplink channel transmission located between the first position and the second position.

[0095] In some possible implementation manners, the interval T1 between the first position and the second position is greater than or equal to the guard interval Y.

[0096] In some possible implementation manners, the network device 102 can determine the first position and the second position in combination with the configured SRS resource sets, and configure the first position and the second position in the time-domain transmission configuration information.

[0097] In some possible implementation manners, the user equipment 101 can transmit the first SRS resource set before the first position in the first time slot and transmit the second SRS resource set after the second position in the second time slot.

[0098] In some possible embodiments, in addition to the SRS resource set that can be transmitted in a time slot, the user equipment 101 can also perform signal transmission of the uplink channel between the third position and the fourth position.

[0099] In one example, the user equipment 101 transmits signals of the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) between the third position and the fourth position.

[0100] In one example, the user equipment 101 transmits signals of the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) between the third position and the fourth position.

[0101] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the user equipment 101 can obtain the start and end positions of the uplink channel between the first position and the second position according to the time-domain transmission configuration information configured by the network device 102. Thus, the user equipment 101 can reasonably utilize the interval between the SRS resource sets in two adjacent time slots for signal transmission of the uplink channel, improve the utilization efficiency of the time slot, and reduce the waste of transmission time resources.

[0102] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for receiving time-domain resource configuration information, which is executed by the user equipment 101. The method includes step S301, wherein

[0103] In response to the transmission antenna at the first position being the same as the transmission antenna of the uplink channel, the time-domain interval between the first position and the third position is greater than the first interval and greater than the guard interval;

[0104] In response to the transmission antenna at the first position being different from the transmission antenna of the uplink channel, the time-domain interval between the first position and the third position is greater than the second interval and greater than the guard interval;

[0105] In response to the transmission antenna of the uplink channel being the same as the transmission antenna at the second position, the time-domain interval between the fourth position and the second position is greater than the first interval and greater than the guard interval;

[0106] In response to the transmission antenna of the uplink channel being different from the transmission antenna at the second position, the time-domain interval between the fourth position and the second position is greater than the second interval and greater than the guard interval.

[0107] In some possible embodiments, referring to Table 1, there is a mapping correspondence between the value of the guard interval Y and the subcarrier interval.

[0108] In some possible embodiments, the user equipment 101 may use different transmission antennas when transmitting the SRS resource set and the signal of the uplink channel.

[0109] In one example, the user equipment 101 uses the first antenna to transmit the first set of SRS resources in the first time slot, and the first antenna is the transmission antenna at the first position.

[0110] In one example, the user equipment 101 uses the second antenna to transmit the signal of the uplink channel between the third position and the fourth position, and the second antenna is the transmission antenna of the uplink channel.

[0111] In one example, the user equipment 101 uses the third antenna to transmit the second set of SRS resources in the second time slot, and the third antenna is the transmission antenna at the second position.

[0112] In some possible embodiments, when the user equipment 101 changes the type of the transmitted signal, such as when changing from transmitting the first set of SRS resources to transmitting the PUSCH signal or the PUCCH signal of the uplink channel, or when changing from transmitting the PUSCH signal or the PUCCH signal of the uplink channel to transmitting the second set of SRS resources, the user equipment 101 can switch the transmission antenna for uplink transmission.

[0113] In one example, when the first antenna is the same as the second antenna, the time domain interval between the first position and the third position needs to satisfy: being greater than the switching time SRSResourceSetSwitch-SA required for the user equipment 101 to switch from transmitting the set of SRS resources to the uplink channel signal under the same antenna port, and this switching time is denoted as the first interval.

[0114] In one example, when the first antenna is different from the second antenna, the time domain interval between the first position and the third position needs to satisfy: being greater than the switching time SRSResourceSetSwitch-DA required for the user equipment 101 to switch from transmitting the set of SRS resources to the uplink channel signal under different antenna ports, and this switching time is denoted as the second interval.

[0115] In one example, when the second antenna is the same as the third antenna, the time domain interval between the fourth position and the second position needs to satisfy: being greater than the switching time required for the user equipment 101 to switch from transmitting the uplink channel signal to the set of SRS resources under the same antenna port, and this switching time is still the first interval.

[0116] In one example, when the second antenna is different from the third antenna, the time domain interval between the fourth position and the second position needs to satisfy: being greater than the switching time required for the user equipment 101 to switch from transmitting the uplink channel signal to the set of SRS resources under different antenna ports, and this switching time is still the second interval.

[0117] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, according to the switching time when the user equipment 101 transmits different types of uplink signals on the same antenna port or different antenna ports, the network device 102 can adaptively configure the time domain interval between the first position and the third position, and the time domain interval between the second position and the fourth position. Thus, the user equipment 101 can complete the switching of different types of uplink signals on the same antenna port or different antenna ports within the configured time domain interval, make full use of the guard interval, and improve the utilization rate of time slots.

[0118] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for receiving time domain resource configuration information, which is executed by the user equipment 101. The method includes step S300 and step S301, specifically:

[0119] Step S300, the first interval and the second interval are pre-configured, or determined according to protocol agreements.

Refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a method for receiving time-domain resource configuration information shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 4 shown, the method includes steps S401 to S402. Specifically:

The first capability is used to indicate the time-domain interval required for switching between the SRS resource set and the uplink channel under the same antenna, and the second capability is used to indicate the time-domain interval required for switching between the SRS resource set and the uplink channel under different antennas.

[0132] Step S402, receive the time-domain transmission configuration information sent by the network device;

[0133] Among them, the time-domain transmission configuration information includes a first position, a second position, a third position, and a fourth position.

[0134] In some possible embodiments, the user equipment 101 reports the switching capabilities through radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

[0135] In an example, the user equipment 101 reports the switching capabilities through the RRC signaling SRSResourceSetSwitch.

[0136] In some possible embodiments, the time-domain resource configuration information may further indicate: the transmission antennas used by the user equipment 101 before and after switching the signal types to be transmitted.

[0137] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the user equipment 101 may report its handover capability to the network device 102, so that the network device 102 can adaptively configure the time-domain transmission configuration information according to the handover capability of the user equipment 101. Thus, the time-domain transmission configuration information can be applicable to user equipments 101 with different handover capabilities. Furthermore, user equipments 101 with different handover capabilities can perform different types of uplink signal transmissions based on their own handover capabilities.

[0138] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for receiving time-domain resource configuration information, which is executed by the user equipment 101. The method includes steps S401 to S402, specifically:

[0139] Step S401, the user equipment 101 sends a handover capability to the network device 102. The handover capability includes a first capability and a second capability. The first capability is used to indicate the time-domain interval required for switching the SRS resource set and the uplink channel under the same antenna, and the second capability is used to indicate the time-domain interval required for switching the SRS resource set and the uplink channel under different antennas.

[0140] Step S402, receiving the time-domain transmission configuration information sent by the network device;

[0141] Wherein, the time-domain transmission configuration information includes a first position, a second position, a third position, and a fourth position. The first position is used to indicate the time-domain position of the last time-domain unit occupied by the first SRS resource set in the first time slot. The second position is used to indicate the time-domain position of the first time-domain unit occupied by the second SRS resource set in the second time slot. The third position is used to indicate the start position of the time-domain interval for uplink channel transmission located between the first position and the second position. The fourth position is used to indicate the end position of the time-domain interval for uplink channel transmission located between the first position and the second position.

[0142] In this method, in response to the transmission antenna of the first position being the same as the transmission antenna of the uplink channel, the time-domain interval between the first position and the third position is greater than the time-domain interval indicated by the first capability and greater than the guard interval;

[0143] In response to the transmission antenna of the first position being different from the transmission antenna of the uplink channel, the time-domain interval between the first position and the third position is greater than the time-domain interval indicated by the second capability and greater than the guard interval;

[0144] In response to the transmission antenna of the uplink channel being the same as the transmission antenna of the second position, the time-domain interval between the fourth position and the second position is greater than the time-domain interval indicated by the first capability and greater than the guard interval;

[0145] In response to different transmission antennas at the second position of the transmission antenna for the uplink channel, the time domain interval between the fourth position and the second position is greater than the time domain interval indicated by the second capability and greater than the guard interval.

[0146] In some possible implementation manners, referring to Table 1, there is a mapping correspondence between the value of the guard interval Y and the subcarrier interval.

[0147] In some possible implementation manners, the uplink channel includes a PUSCH or a PUCCH.

[0148] In one example, the first capability indication: the switching time SRSResourceSetSwitch-SA required for the user equipment 101 to switch between the SRS resource set and the PUSCH or PUCCH signal under the same antenna port.

[0149] In one example, the second capability indication: the switching time SRSResourceSetSwitch-DA required for the user equipment 101 to switch between the SRS resource set and the PUSCH or PUCCH signal under different antenna ports.

[0150] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, according to the switching capabilities of the user equipment 101 when transmitting different types of uplink signals under the same antenna port or different antenna ports, the network device 102 can adaptively configure the time domain interval between the first position and the third position, and the time domain interval between the second position and the fourth position. Thus, the user equipment 101 can complete the switching of different types of uplink signals under the same antenna port or different antenna ports within the configured time domain interval, make full use of the guard interval, and improve the utilization rate of time slots.

[0151] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following specific examples are listed for description:

[0152] Example 1:

[0153] Combined with Figure 5 As shown, the first time slot is SlotN, and the second time slot is SlotN+1. This example may include the following steps S11 to S12, specifically:

[0154] Step S11, the network device 102 configures time domain transmission configuration information and sends the time domain transmission configuration information to the user equipment 101.

[0155] Among them, the time-domain transmission configuration information indicates the following information: the time-domain position of the last time-domain unit occupied by the first SRS resource set on the first time slot SlotN, that is, the first position is S1; the time-domain position of the first time-domain unit occupied by the second SRS resource set on the second time slot SlotN+1, that is, the second position is S2; the third position is t1; and the fourth position is t2.

[0156] Among them, the time-domain transmission configuration information also indicates: the first interval SRSResourceSetSwitch-SA and the second interval SRSResourceSetSwitch-DA in the same or different scenarios between the first antenna and the second antenna; and the first interval and the second interval in the same or different scenarios between the second antenna and the third antenna. Among them, the transmission antenna for transmitting the first SRS resource set at the first position is the first antenna, the transmission antenna for transmitting the PUSCH signal or the PUCCH signal between the third position and the fourth position is the second antenna, and the transmission antenna for transmitting the second SRS resource set at the second position is the third antenna.

[0157] Step S12, the user equipment 101 transmits a PUSCH signal or a PUCCH signal between the third position t1 and the fourth position t2 according to the time-domain transmission configuration information of the network device 102, and can determine whether to switch the antenna according to the indication of the time-domain transmission configuration information.

[0158] In this example, through the multiple positions, the first interval, and the second interval configured by the network device 102 in the time-domain transmission configuration information, the user equipment 101 can transmit a PUSCH signal or a PUCCH signal within the interval of transmitting the SRS resource set according to the time-domain transmission configuration information, and make full use of the interval between the first position S1 and the second position S2. In this example, on the basis of improving the time slot utilization rate, the system overhead is effectively saved.

[0159] Example 2:

[0160] Combined with Figure 5 As shown, the first time slot is SlotN, and the second time slot is SlotN+1. This example may include the following steps S21 to S23, specifically:

[0161] Step S21, the user equipment 101 sends an RRC signaling SRSResourceSetSwitch to the network device 102 to report the handover capability.

[0162] Among them, the switching ability may include a first ability and a second ability. The first ability is used to indicate the time-domain interval SRSResourceSetSwitch-SA required for switching the SRS resource set and the uplink channel under the same antenna, and the second ability is used to indicate the time-domain interval SRSResourceSetSwitch-DA required for switching the SRS resource set and the uplink channel under different antennas.

[0163] Step 22: The network device 102 configures the time-domain transmission configuration information according to the switching ability and sends the time-domain transmission configuration information to the user equipment 101.

[0164] Among them, the time-domain transmission configuration information indicates the following information: the time-domain position of the last time-domain unit occupied by the first SRS resource set in the first time slot SlotN, that is, the first position is S1; the time-domain position of the first time-domain unit occupied by the second SRS resource set in the second time slot SlotN+1, that is, the second position is S2; the third position is t1; and the fourth position is t2.

[0165] In addition, according to the first ability and the second ability, the network device 102 also configures in the time-domain transmission configuration information: the relationship between the time-domain intervals in the same or different scenarios of the first antenna and the second antenna and the intervals indicated by the first ability or the second ability; and the relationship between the time-domain intervals in the same or different scenarios of the second antenna and the third antenna and the intervals indicated by the first ability or the second ability. Among them, the transmission antenna for transmitting the first SRS resource set at the first position is the first antenna, the transmission antenna for transmitting the PUSCH signal or the PUCCH signal between the third position and the fourth position is the second antenna, and the transmission antenna for transmitting the second SRS resource set at the second position is the third antenna.

[0166] Step S23: The user equipment 101 transmits the PUSCH signal or the PUCCH signal between the third position t1 and the fourth position t2 according to the time-domain transmission configuration information and can determine whether to switch the antenna according to the indication of the time-domain transmission configuration information.

[0167] In this example, the network device 102 can adaptively configure the time-domain transmission configuration information according to the switching ability of the user equipment 101, so that the user equipment 101 can make full use of the interval between the first position S1 and the second position S2 to transmit the PUSCH signal or the PUCCH signal within its own switching ability range. On the basis of improving the time-slot utilization rate, it is ensured that the user equipment 101 can transmit the signal of the uplink channel according to its own ability and the configuration of the network device 102. Combining the time-domain transmission configuration information adapted to the switching ability of the user equipment 101 can also avoid the problem of too long configured switching time and further save the transmission time resource.
