Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a method, apparatus, device, and medium for configuring and determining downlink scheduling information. Background Art

[0002] In the NR (New Radio) protocol, downlink data is carried on the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), and uplink data is carried on the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH). The base station schedules the PDSCH and PUSCH through the Downlink Control Information (DCI) carried on the PDCCH channel.

[0003] The PDCCH channel includes a Common Search Space (CSS) and a User Equipment (UE) specific Search Space (USS). Among them, the CSS is used to carry cell common control information, multicast control information, etc., and can also be used to carry UE specific control information. The USS is used to carry UE specific control information.

[0004] In the R15 protocol, the monitoring ability is defined in terms of a single time unit of a slot. Specifically: according to different SubCarrier spacings (SCS), the monitoring ability of the UE within each slot is specified. The monitoring ability of the UE within a slot includes the maximum number of monitoring times within this slot, and the number of the maximum non-overlapping control channel elements (CCEs) within this slot. This definition applies to frequencies below 52.6 GHz, and the optional subcarrier bandwidths are 15 KHz, 30 KHz, 60 KHz, or 120 KHz. The duration of a slot has different specific values when the subcarrier bandwidth is different. For example: the duration of the slot corresponding to a 15 KHz subcarrier bandwidth is 1 millisecond (ms), the duration of the slot corresponding to a 30 KHz subcarrier bandwidth is 0.5 ms, the duration of the slot corresponding to a 60 KHz subcarrier bandwidth is 0.25 ms, and so on. As the subcarrier bandwidth becomes larger, the duration of the slot becomes shorter. Summary of the Invention

[0072] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0073] Here, the exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and the examples are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementation manners described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementation manners consistent with the embodiments of the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0074] In the high-frequency band (for example, the frequency band around 60 GHz), in order to cope with phase noise, a relatively large subcarrier bandwidth is usually selected, such as 960 KHz. Since a relatively large subcarrier bandwidth corresponds to a relatively short duration (this duration is the duration of a time slot). When the subcarrier bandwidth is 960 KHz, the duration of a corresponding time slot is 1 / 64 millisecond (ms). Within this relatively short duration, the user equipment may not be able to perform monitoring of the PDCCH channel on each time slot. Therefore, a span PDCCH monitoring pattern or a multi-slot span PDCCH monitoring pattern can be introduced. Among them, a multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span in this pattern includes more than one time slot, and the DCI monitoring capability within the span of the user equipment is defined in units of spans in this multi-slot span PDCCH monitoring pattern.

[0075] In a multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span, multiple time slots may be used to carry PDCCH. In this article, the time slots used to carry PDCCH are called PDCCH time slots, so a multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span may include multiple PDCCH time slots.

[0076] In the R15 or R16 protocol, the DCI needs to indicate the interval k0 (in units of time slots) between the time slot where the DCI is located and the time slot where the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI is located. Currently, the value range of k0 in the protocol is {0, 32}, and k0 is an integer between 0 and 32. By setting k0 to 0 or a positive integer, it is ensured that the time slot where the PDSCH is located does not precede the time slot where the DCI scheduling the PDSCH is located.

[0077] Through the DCI, the bearer resources can be flexibly selected within the UE's monitoring capabilities to avoid resource collisions. To achieve flexible PDSCH scheduling, it is possible that the appropriate PDSCH resources scheduled by the DCI are before the time slot where the DCI is located.

[0078] For example, as Figure 1 shown:

[0079] The multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span includes four time slots, which are: the first time slot, the second time slot, the third time slot, and the fourth time slot.

[0080] On the first time slot, there are PDCCH1, PDSCH1, and PDSCH2 corresponding to it.

[0081] On the second time slot, there are PDCCH2 and PDSCH3 corresponding to it.

[0082] The time slot corresponding to a DCI is the second time slot, and the object scheduled by this DCI is PDSCH2. Therefore, the time slot where the PDSCH2 scheduled by this DCI is located (i.e., the first time slot) precedes the time slot where this DCI is located (i.e., the second time slot).

[0083] For example, as Figure 2 shown:

[0084] The multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span includes four time slots, which are: the first time slot, the second time slot, the third time slot, and the fourth time slot.

[0085] On the first time slot, there are PDCCH1, PDSCH1, and PDSCH2 corresponding to it.

[0086] On the second time slot, there are PDCCH2 and PDSCH3 corresponding to it.

[0087] The time slot corresponding to a DCI is the second time slot, and the objects scheduled by this DCI are PDSCH2 and PDSCH3. Therefore, the time slot (i.e., the first time slot) where PDSCH2 is located among all the PDSCHs scheduled by this DCI is ahead of the time slot where this DCI is located (i.e., the second time slot).

[0088] To achieve flexible scheduling and enable the DCI to schedule PDSCH resources before the time slot where this DCI is located, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for configuring downlink scheduling information, which is executed by a network-side device. The network-side device may be a base station device. Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a flowchart of a method for configuring downlink control information shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 3 shown, this method includes:

[0089] Step S31, setting a k0 set of the DCI in the multi-time-slot PDCCH monitoring span; the k0 set includes at least one k0, where the k0 is the interval between the time slot where the DCI in the multi-time-slot PDCCH monitoring span is located and the time slot where the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI is located, and the k0 set contains at least one negative integer less than 0.

[0090] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, by setting the k0 set to include negative integers less than 0, the DCI can schedule PDSCH resources before the time slot where this DCI is located, making full use of the PDSCH resources and achieving flexible scheduling.

[0091] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for configuring downlink scheduling information, which is executed by a network-side device. This method includes:

[0092] Sending a high-layer signaling, where the high-layer signaling includes the k0 set of the DCI in the multi-time-slot PDCCH monitoring span; the k0 set includes at least one k0, where the k0 is the interval between the time slot where the DCI in the multi-time-slot PDCCH monitoring span is located and the time slot where the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI is located, and the k0 set contains at least one negative integer less than 0.

[0093] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the k0 set is set to include negative integers less than 0, and furthermore, the high-layer signaling is sent so that the high-layer signaling carries the k0 set of the DCI in the multi-time-slot PDCCH monitoring span, clearly indicating to the user equipment the k0 set of the DCI in the multi-time-slot PDCCH monitoring span, enabling the user equipment to know this k0 set and use this k0 set appropriately.

[0094] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for configuring downlink scheduling information, which is executed by a network-side device. This method includes:

[0095] Set the set of k0 of the DCI in the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span; the set of k0 includes at least one k0, where k0 is the interval between the time slot where the DCI in the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span is located and the time slot where the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI is located, and the set of k0 contains at least one negative integer less than 0. The set of k0 contains all values between 1 - Y and -1, where Y is the number of PDCCH time slots included in the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span.

[0096] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, setting all values between 1 - Y and -1 in the set of k0 enables the negative integers less than 0 included in the set of k0 to correspond to the time slot coverage capability of the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span, and makes the values of the negative integers less than 0 included in the set of k0 reasonable values.

[0097] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for configuring downlink scheduling information, which is executed by a network-side device, and the method includes:

[0098] Set the set of k0 of the DCI in the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span; the set of k0 includes at least one k0, where k0 is the interval between the time slot where the DCI in the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span is located and the time slot where the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI is located, and the set of k0 contains at least one negative integer less than 0. The set of k0 contains partial values between 1 - Y and -1, where Y is the number of PDCCH time slots included in the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span.

[0099] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, setting partial values between 1 - Y and -1 in the set of k0 enables the negative integers less than 0 included in the set of k0 to correspond to the time slot coverage capability of the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span, and makes the values of the negative integers less than 0 included in the set of k0 reasonable values.

[0100] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for configuring downlink scheduling information, which is executed by a network-side device, and the method includes:

[0101] Send high-layer signaling, where the high-layer signaling includes the set of k0 of the DCI in the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span; the set of k0 includes at least one k0, where k0 is the interval between the time slot where the DCI in the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span is located and the time slot where the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI is located, and the set of k0 contains at least one negative integer less than 0. The set of k0 contains all values or partial values between 1 - Y and -1, where Y is the number of PDCCH time slots included in the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span.

[0102] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the set k0 includes all or some values between 1 - Y and - 1, such that the negative integers less than 0 included in the set k0 correspond to the time - slot coverage capabilities of the multi - time - slot PDCCH monitoring span, and the values of the negative integers less than 0 included in the set k0 are reasonable values. Further, a high - layer signaling is sent, and the set k0 of the DCI in the multi - time - slot PDCCH monitoring span is carried in the high - layer signaling, clearly indicating to the user equipment the set k0 of the DCI in the multi - time - slot PDCCH monitoring span, enabling the user equipment to know this set k0 and use this set k0 appropriately.

[0103] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for configuring downlink scheduling information, which is executed by a network - side device. This network - side device may be a base - station device. Referring to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a flowchart of a method for configuring downlink control information shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 4 shown, this method includes:

[0104] Step S41, set a set k0 of the DCI in the multi - time - slot PDCCH monitoring span; the set k0 includes at least one k0, where k0 is the interval between the time slot where the DCI in the multi - time - slot PDCCH monitoring span is located and the time slot where the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI is located, and the set k0 includes at least one negative integer less than 0.

[0105] Step S42, select a k0 from the set k0 as the k0 corresponding to a DCI in the multi - time - slot PDCCH monitoring span, and the selected k0 is a negative integer less than 0.

[0106] In one embodiment, this method further includes:

[0107] Step S43, send the DCI in the multi - time - slot PDCCH monitoring span, and the DCI includes the k0 corresponding to the DCI.

[0108] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, by setting the set k0 such that the set k0 includes negative integers less than 0, when setting the k0 corresponding to the DCI, a negative integer less than 0 can be selected from the set k0 including negative integers less than 0 as the k0 corresponding to this DCI, so that the DCI can schedule the PDSCH resources before the time slot where this DCI is located, making full use of the PDSCH resources and achieving flexible scheduling.

[0109] In one embodiment, the set of k0 includes all or some values between 1 - Y and - 1, where Y is the number of PDCCH time slots included in the multi - time - slot PDCCH monitoring span. Thus, the negative integers less than 0 included in the set of k0 correspond to the time - slot coverage ability of the multi - time - slot PDCCH monitoring span, and the values of the negative integers less than 0 selected from the set of k0 are reasonable values.

[0110] In the above - mentioned embodiment, setting negative integers less than 0 in the set of k0 may lead to the problem of increased cache overhead of the user equipment. For example, after setting negative integers less than 0 in the set of k0, for a multi - time - slot PDCCH monitoring span, the user equipment may start caching relevant data from the time slot corresponding to the negative integer before the multi - time - slot PDCCH monitoring span.

[0111] For example, as Figure 5 shown, the multi - time - slot PDCCH monitoring span includes four time slots, which are: the first time slot, the second time slot, the third time slot, and the fourth time slot. There is PDSCH0 on a time slot (which can be called the 0th time slot) before the first time slot. On the first time slot, there are PDCCH1, PDSCH1, and PDSCH2 corresponding. On the second time slot, there are PDCCH2 and PDSCH3 corresponding. The time slot where the first DCI is located is the first time slot, and this first DCI schedules PDSCH0. PDSCH0 is located on the 0th time slot before and adjacent to the first time slot, so that the user equipment may start caching relevant data from the 0th time slot for the multi - time - slot PDCCH monitoring span.

[0112] For example, as Figure 6 shown, the multi - time - slot PDCCH monitoring span includes four time slots, which are: the first time slot, the second time slot, the third time slot, and the fourth time slot. When PDSCH0 is located on the Kth time slot before the first time slot, the user equipment may start caching relevant data from the Kth time slot before the first time slot for the multi - time - slot PDCCH monitoring span, where K is a positive integer. The larger the value of K, the greater the cache overhead of the user equipment.

[0113] To save the cache overhead of the user equipment, it is necessary to limit the resource position of the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI in the multi - time - slot PDCCH monitoring span. The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for configuring downlink scheduling information, which is executed by a network - side device. This network - side device may be a base - station device. Referring to Figure 7 , Figure 7 is a flowchart of a method for configuring downlink control information shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 7 shown, this method includes:

[0114] Step S71, set the set of k0 of the DCI in the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span; the set of k0 includes at least one k0, where k0 is the interval between the time slot where the DCI in the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span is located and the time slot where the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI is located, and the set of k0 contains at least one negative integer less than 0.

[0115] Step S72, select a k0 from the set of k0 as the k0 corresponding to a DCI in the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span. The selected k0 is a negative integer less than 0, and the absolute value of the selected k0 is less than or equal to the interval between the starting PDCCH time slot and the PDCCH time slot where the DCI is located in the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span.

[0116] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, by restricting the absolute value of the selected k0 to be no greater than the interval between the starting PDCCH time slot and the PDCCH time slot where the DCI is located in the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span, it is thus restricted that the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI in the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span cannot be earlier than the starting time slot of this multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span. Even if k0 is negative, it is ensured that the user equipment starts caching from the starting time slot of the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span, and the caching overhead of the user equipment is not increased due to the configuration of negative values in the set of k0.

[0117] In an example, as Figure 8 shown, the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span includes four time slots, and these four time slots include: the first time slot, the second time slot, the third time slot, and the fourth time slot. There is a PDSCH0 on the time slot before the first time slot (referred to as the 0th time slot). The first time slot corresponds to PDCCH1, PDSCH1, and PDSCH2. The second time slot corresponds to PDCCH2 and PDSCH3. The third time slot corresponds to PDCCH3.

[0118] The time slot where the first DCI is located is the first time slot. Under the limitation that the absolute value of the k0 corresponding to the first DCI needs to be less than or equal to the interval between the starting PDCCH time slot and the PDCCH time slot where the DCI is located in the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span, the value of k0 corresponding to the first DCI can only be a value greater than or equal to 0.

[0119] The time slot where the second DCI is located is the second time slot. Under the limitation that the absolute value of the k0 corresponding to the second DCI needs to be less than or equal to the interval between the starting PDCCH time slot and the PDCCH time slot where the DCI is located in the multi-slot PDCCH monitoring span, the k0 corresponding to the second DCI can be set to -1 or a value greater than or equal to 0.

[0120] The time slot where the third DCI is located is the third time slot. Under the condition that the absolute value of k0 corresponding to the third DCI needs to be less than or equal to the interval between the starting PDCCH time slot and the PDCCH time slot where the DCI is located in the multi-time slot PDCCH monitoring span, k0 corresponding to the third DCI can be set to -2, -1, or a value greater than or equal to 0.

[0121] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for configuring downlink scheduling information, which is executed by a network-side device. This network-side device can be a base station device. Refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 is a flowchart of a method for configuring downlink control information shown according to an exemplary embodiment.
