[0036] The uplink power determination method and device provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to some embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an uplink power determination method 200, which can be executed by a terminal. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed in the terminal, and the method includes the following steps.

[0038] S202: The terminal determines the uplink power based on the first information; the first information includes at least one of the following: the transmission direction of at least one subband on the first time unit; whether there is a protection band on the first time unit; the positional relationship between the uplink transmission resource and the downlink subband or flexible subband; the position of the uplink transmission resource in the subband; and the power control parameter.

[0039] In one example, the first information includes a transmission direction of at least one subband in a first time unit and / or whether a guard band exists in the first time unit. The transmission direction of the subband may include downlink (D), uplink (U), or flexible (F), and the first time unit may include at least one symbol, at least one time slot, at least one subslot, or at least one subframe.

[0040] In this example, for example, there are multiple subbands on the first time unit and these multiple subbands include downlink or flexible subbands, and / or there is a protection band on the first time unit, then the terminal determines to use the second transmission power; wherein, the second transmission power is less than or equal to the first transmission power, and the first transmission power can be a transmission power determined according to the uplink power determination method in the relevant technology.

[0041] In this example, the second transmission power used by the terminal is less than or equal to the first transmission power. This example is equivalent to reducing the transmission power, avoiding interference of uplink transmission on reception of other terminals on the downlink subband, and improving communication system performance.

[0042] In another example, the first information includes a positional relationship between an uplink transmission resource and a downlink subband or a flexible subband. In S202, if the frequency interval between the subband where the uplink transmission resource is located and the downlink subband or the flexible subband is less than or equal to a preset frequency threshold, determining to use a third transmission power; wherein the third transmission power is less than or equal to the first transmission power.

[0043] In this example, the third transmission power used by the terminal is less than or equal to the first transmission power. This example is equivalent to reducing the transmission power, avoiding interference of uplink transmission on reception of other terminals on the downlink subband, and improving communication system performance.

[0044] In another example, the first information includes a location of an uplink transmission resource in a subband. In S202, if the uplink transmission resource includes at least one resource block or resource element at a subband edge, determining to use a fourth transmission power is performed; wherein the fourth transmission power is less than or equal to the first transmission power.

[0045] In this example, the fourth transmission power used by the terminal is less than or equal to the first transmission power. This example is equivalent to reducing the transmission power, avoiding interference of uplink transmission on reception of other terminals on the downlink subband, and improving communication system performance.

[0046] In another example, the first information includes a power control parameter. In S202, the terminal may determine the uplink power according to the power control parameter.

[0047] As mentioned above, the first information includes at least one of the following five information 1) to 5): 1) the transmission direction of at least one subband on the first time unit; 2) whether there is a protection band on the first time unit; 3) the positional relationship between the uplink transmission resource and the downlink subband or flexible subband; 4) the position of the uplink transmission resource in the subband; 5) power control parameters.

[0048] The above examples all use one or two of the five types of information as examples to describe how the terminal determines the uplink power. In practice, the terminal may also determine the uplink power based on a combination of two, three, four or five types of information.

[0049] For example, the terminal determines the uplink power based on 4) the position of the uplink transmission resource in the subband and 5) the power control parameter; for another example, the terminal determines the uplink power based on 2) whether there is a protection band on the first time unit, 3) the positional relationship between the uplink transmission resource and the downlink subband or flexible subband, and 5) the power control parameter.

[0050] S204: Send an uplink channel or signal according to the uplink power.

[0051] In this example, the terminal can send uplink channels or signals on the uplink subband based on the determined uplink power. The uplink channels may include the Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH), the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), etc.; the uplink signals may include the Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), etc.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, a terminal provides an uplink power determination method, wherein the terminal determines uplink power based on first information; the first information includes at least one of the following: the transmission direction of at least one subband in a first time unit; the presence of a guard band in the first time unit; the positional relationship between an uplink transmission resource and a downlink subband or a flexible subband; the position of the uplink transmission resource within a subband; and a power control parameter. This embodiment of the present application can determine the transmission power based on the specific conditions of the subband, thereby reducing cross-link interference in the system and improving communication system performance.

[0053] In embodiment 200, the terminal determines the uplink power according to the first information, which will be described below with reference to several specific examples. Before introducing specific examples, the time unit, subband, guard band, etc. mentioned in various embodiments of the present application are first introduced.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The diagram schematically shows a spectrum diagram when the network side device is flexible / full duplex. Figure 3 For the symmetrical spectrum of Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD), the uplink or downlink spectrum of FDD can be semi-statically configured or dynamically indicated as downlink or uplink transmission in certain time units (such as slot / symbol).

[0055] In the third to fifth time units, the uplink spectrum is configured as downlink; in the sixth time unit, the downlink spectrum is configured as uplink. Figure 3 Two sub-bands are schematically shown, but in practice, the number of sub-bands is not limited thereto. In addition, in the frequency domain, guard bands are provided between these sub-bands.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The diagram schematically shows a spectrum diagram when the network side device is flexible / full duplex. Figure 4 For the asymmetric spectrum of Time Division Duplexing (TDD), different frequency domain resources on certain time units (such as slot / symbol) of TDD can be semi-statically configured or dynamically indicated to have both uplink transmission and downlink reception.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown in the 3rd to 7th time units of FIG, there are both uplink sub-bands and downlink sub-bands in these 5 time units. Figure 4Four sub-bands are schematically shown, but in practice, the number of sub-bands is not limited to this. In addition, in the frequency domain, guard bands can be set between these sub-bands. Figure 4 Guard bands are not shown.

[0058] Regarding the above-mentioned symmetric spectrum or asymmetric spectrum, before S202, the terminal can also receive indication information, which is used to notify the terminal of the transmission / reception direction on the time unit, that is, which time slots / symbols; on the frequency, that is, which subbands (subband), sub-carriers (sub-carrier), resource blocks (RB), that is, uplink (U), downlink (D) or flexible (flexible, F), etc.

[0059] The indication information may be higher layer signaling, Media Access Control-Control Element (MAC CE) signaling, or downlink control information (DCI).

[0060] In various embodiments of the present application, a subband may include one or more resource blocks (RBs), which may also be referred to as a resource block set (RB set). The subbands mentioned in various embodiments of the present application may represent multiple consecutive RBs, and therefore, the subbands may also be described by RB sets. The guard bands mentioned in various embodiments of the present application represent frequency domain resources where the terminal does not transmit or receive signals / channels. The frequency domain resources may be described by the number of RBs / resource elements (REs), the position of RBs / REs, or a frequency range.

[0061] It should also be noted that for different time units (such as slot / symbol / subframe), the subband direction configuration may be different, and the subband size may also be different. The first time unit in each embodiment of the present application can be one or more determined time units, where "first" is only for the convenience of distinction and does not represent any other specific meaning.

[0062] Example 1

[0063] The first information includes a transmission direction of at least one subband in a first time unit and / or whether a guard band exists in the first time unit.

[0068] 3) Transmit power when the first time unit is an uplink time unit.

[0069] 4) The transmit power is determined according to the power control parameters configured in the uplink bandwidth part (BandWidth Part, BWP).

[0070] As mentioned above, the second transmit power is less than or equal to the first transmit power. Optionally, the second transmit power can be obtained by subtracting a preset value from the first transmit power.

[0071] Optionally, the difference between the second transmit power and the first transmit power is determined based on at least one of the following 1) to 4).

[0076] In this example, the second transmission power used by the terminal is less than or equal to the first transmission power. This example is equivalent to reducing the transmission power, avoiding interference of uplink transmission on reception of other terminals on the downlink subband, and improving communication system performance.

[0077] Example 2

[0078] The first information includes a positional relationship between an uplink transmission resource and a downlink subband or a flexible subband. The terminal determines the uplink power based on the first information, including: if a frequency interval between the subband where the uplink transmission resource is located and the downlink subband or the flexible subband is less than or equal to a preset frequency threshold, determining to use a third transmission power; wherein the third transmission power is less than or equal to the first transmission power.

[0079] In this example, if there is a downlink or flexible subband in the first time unit, and the frequency interval between the subband for transmission by the terminal and the downlink subband is less than or equal to the preset frequency threshold, the third transmission power is used for transmission.

[0080] Optionally, the frequency interval includes one of the following: at least one subcarrier, at least one resource block, at least one subband, and an absolute frequency width.

[0081] For details about the first transmission power, please refer to the introduction of the above embodiment.

[0086] 3) A value determined according to the number and / or position of downlink subbands or flexible subbands.

[0087] 4) A value determined according to the size of the guard band.

[0088] In this example, the third transmission power used by the terminal is less than or equal to the first transmission power. This example is equivalent to reducing the transmission power, avoiding interference of uplink transmission on reception of other terminals on the downlink subband, and improving communication system performance.

[0089] Example 3

[0090] The first information includes a position of an uplink transmission resource in a subband. The terminal determines the uplink power according to the first information, including: if the uplink transmission resource includes at least one resource block or resource element at a subband edge, determining to use a fourth transmission power; wherein the fourth transmission power is less than or equal to the first transmission power.

[0091] In this example, if the frequency domain resources for uplink transmission include X RBs or REs at the edge of a subband, the terminal uses the fourth transmission power for transmission, where X is a positive integer.

[0092] For details about the first transmission power, please refer to the introduction of the above embodiment.

[0093] As mentioned above, the fourth transmit power is less than or equal to the first transmit power. Optionally, the fourth transmit power can be obtained by subtracting a preset value from the first transmit power.

[0097] 3) A value determined according to the number and / or position of downlink subbands or flexible subbands.

[0098] 4) A value determined according to the size of the guard band.

[0099] In this example, the fourth transmission power used by the terminal is less than or equal to the first transmission power. This example is equivalent to reducing the transmission power, avoiding interference of uplink transmission on reception of other terminals on the downlink subband, and improving communication system performance.

That is, the network-side device configures the subband or subband set-specific power control parameters, and the terminal determines the transmit power based on the subband-specific power control parameters.

[0104] To illustrate the uplink power determination method provided in the embodiments of the present application in detail, several specific embodiments will be described below.

[0105] exist Figures 5 to 8 In the diagram, the horizontal direction is the time domain, and the vertical direction is the frequency domain. Squares filled with diagonal lines represent uplinks, and squares filled with small black dots represent downlinks. The time domain length of each square can be one time slot. Figure 5In , we can think of it as having two time units (i.e., 5 squares constitute one time unit), or we can think of it as each square representing one time unit. Figure 5 In the frequency domain, there are four sub-bands, and the sub-bands are guard bands.

[0106] Example 1

[0107] In this embodiment, the terminal determines the transmit power according to the subband / guardband configuration.

[0108] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, under the condition that at least one of the following conditions is met, the terminal reduces the transmission power, that is, uses the second transmission power.

[0109] Condition 1: If there are multiple subbands in a time unit, and there are downlink or flexible subbands in the multiple subbands.

[0112] Example 2

[0113] In this embodiment, the terminal determines the transmit power according to the positional relationship between the uplink transmission and downlink subbands.

[0115] The frequency interval may be X subcarriers, RBs, subbands, or an absolute frequency width. The third transmit power is less than or equal to the first / second transmit power.

[0116] like Figure 6As described above, multiple uplink subbands exist within a carrier or BWP. Some subbands have larger frequency separations from downlink / flexible subbands, while others have smaller frequency separations. One implementation is to use a third transmit power if the adjacent subbands of the subband in which the transmitted signal resides include downlink or flexible subbands. The third transmit power is less than or equal to the first / second transmit power. For details on the first / second transmit power, see the description of the previous embodiment.

[0117] Example 3

[0119] In this embodiment, the terminal determines the transmit power of the terminal according to the frequency domain resource position of the uplink transmission in the subband.

[0120] If the frequency domain resource for uplink transmission includes the edge X RBs or REs of the subband, the terminal uses the fourth transmission power for transmission, and the fourth transmission power is less than or equal to the first transmission power. Figure 7 As shown, within a subband bandwidth, if the terminal sends a signal in the edge area of the subband, or at least part of the resources overlap with the frequency domain range, the terminal should reduce the transmission power and use the fourth transmission power.

[0121] In the above embodiments 1-3, after the terminal determines the relative power difference, the actual transmit power can be expressed by the following formula:

[0122] For example, for PUSCH, P PUSCH,,c,x (i,j,q d ,)= PUSCH,,c,y (i,j,q d ,)-elta where x>y, x and y are both integers greater than 1, y can be equal to 1, P PUSCH,,, Corresponding to the above-mentioned first transmission power, x can be equal to 2, 3 or 4, corresponding to the above-mentioned second / third / fourth transmission power respectively.

[0123] Alternatively, the transmission power in the related art is determined by taking the smaller value of the two to determine the terminal transmission power, that is, The power backoff value delta can be A fallback of at least one of or

[0124] The methods for determining the transmit power of SRS, PUCCH, and PRACH are similar.

[0126] In this embodiment, the network-side device configures power control parameters for each subband or subband set.

When multiple subbands are configured within the BWP, the network side device can also configure the power control parameters persubband (subband combination) specific, and the terminal determines the transmission power based on the subband (combination) specific power control parameters.

[0128] For example, by configuring a smaller open-loop power control parameter target receive power value or changing the configuration of the path loss compensation factor, the transmit power on a specific subband (combination) is reduced.

[0129] like Figure 8 As shown, different subband combinations are configured with different power control configurations, and the terminal adaptively determines the applicable power control parameters according to the uplink, downlink, and flexible subband conditions of the current time unit.
