DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0093] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein below with reference to the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0094] The signal demodulation method according to an embodiment of the present application can be applied to an application scenario as shown in Figure 1

[0095] The signal demodulation method according to an embodiment of the present application can be applied to an application scenario as shown in Figure 1 It can be understood that the system for signal demodulation includes a network device and a terminal device. In an application scenario as shown in Figure 1

[0096] The communication link can be established between the terminal device and the network device, and the terminal device can perform data transmission with the network device based on the communication link.

[0097] It is worth noting that Figure 1 The terminal device is exemplarily shown in Figure 1 The network device includes a base station as shown in

[0098] Specifically, Figure 1 ​​The application scenarios can be applicable to different network systems, for example, can be applicable to Global System of Mobile communication (GSM), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA), Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, 5G and the like. Optionally, the communication system can be a system in a scenario of Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC) transmission in a 5G communication system.

[0099] Therefore, the base station can be a base transceiver station (BTS) and / or a base station controller in GSM or CDMA, can be a node B (NB) and / or a radio network controller (RNC) in WCDMA, can be an evolutional node B (eNB or eNodeB) in LTE, or can be a relay station or an access point, or can be a next generation node B (gNB) in a 5G network, and the like, which are not limited herein.

[0100] The terminal device can be a wireless terminal or a wired terminal. The wireless terminal can be a device that provides voice and / or other service data connectivity to a user, a hand-held device having wireless connection capability, or other processing device connected to a wireless modem. The wireless terminal can communicate with one or more core network devices via a Radio Access Network (RAN), and can be a mobile terminal, such as a mobile telephone (also known as a "cellular" telephone) and a computer with a mobile termination, e.g., a portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-included or car-mounted mobile device which can communicate with a radio access network. The wireless terminal can also be a Personal Communication Service (PCS) telephone, a cordless telephone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), or the like. The wireless terminal can also be referred to as a system, a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile, a remote station, a remote terminal, an access terminal, a user terminal, a user agent, a user device, or the like, without limitation. Optionally, the user device can also be a smart watch, a tablet computer, or the like.

[0101] The network device sends a synchronization signal and a physical broadcast channel to the terminal device, and control information sent on the physical broadcast channel, and the terminal device can receive and demodulate the signal carried by the physical downlink shared channel according to the synchronization signal and the control information.

[0102] The above scheme does not consider the state (such as the movement) of the terminal device, resulting in that the signal carried by the physical downlink shared channel cannot be accurately received, so that the signal carried by the physical downlink shared channel cannot be demodulated.

[0103] For example, in the case of Figure 1As shown in the application scenario, the base station sends a synchronization signal and a physical broadcast channel to the mobile phone based on the current direction of the mobile phone. If the mobile phone is in a moving state, the direction of the mobile phone has changed when the mobile phone receives the synchronization signal and the physical broadcast channel. If the mobile phone receives and demodulates the signal from the base station in the changed direction, there may be an inaccurate problem of receiving the signal.

[0104] To solve the above technical problems, the inventors of the present application have, after creative labor, obtained the inventive concept of the embodiments of the present application: receiving and demodulating a signal carried by a physical downlink shared channel based on the state of a terminal device.

[0105] The technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above technical problems will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes can not be described in detail in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0106] According to an aspect of an embodiment of the present application, the embodiment of the present application provides a signal demodulation method applied to a terminal device.

[0107] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 a flowchart of the signal demodulation method of an embodiment of the present application.

[0108] As Figure 2 shown, the method comprises:

[0109] S11: determining the quasi-co-location information of the physical downlink shared channel according to the state of the terminal device.

[0110] In the embodiments of the present application, the execution subject can be a terminal device for data transmission with a network device, such as a user terminal, and the user terminal includes a mobile phone, an iPad, a smart bracelet, a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal, etc. For example, in the application scenario as shown in Figure 1 , the terminal device is a mobile phone.

[0111] The state is used to represent the related information of the motion and / or stillness of the terminal device, that is, if the state is used to represent the related information of the motion of the terminal device, the state can be referred to as a motion state, and if the state is used to represent the related information of the stillness of the terminal device, the state can be referred to as a stillness state. Specifically, when the state is a motion state, the motion state can be used to represent the related information that at least one of the displacement, the speed and the angle of the terminal device changes, such as the moving speed and the moving direction of the terminal device.

[0112] The quasi co-location (QCL) information is used to determine the direction of the physical downlink shared channel, and after the direction of the physical downlink shared channel is determined, the physical downlink shared channel can be received and demodulated based on the determined direction.

[0113] It should be noted that the state of the terminal device is different, and the relative position information between the terminal device and the network device can be different, such as the angle and distance of the terminal device relative to the network device, which can change. The angle mentioned here can be used to represent the angle between the antenna of the terminal device and the beam transmitted by the antenna of the network device.

[0114] In the embodiments of the present application, the quasi co-location information is determined according to the state, which fully considers the difference in the relative position information between the terminal device and the network device due to the different states of the terminal device, and therefore can achieve the technical effect of flexibly determining the quasi co-location information.

[0115] S12: receiving and demodulating the physical downlink shared channel according to the quasi co-location information.

[0116] Based on the above analysis, since the quasi co-location information is determined according to the state, the accuracy of the quasi co-location information can be improved, and therefore the reliability and accuracy of demodulation can be achieved when the physical downlink shared channel is received and demodulated based on the quasi co-location information.

[0117] Based on the above analysis, the embodiments of the present application provide a signal demodulation method, which comprises: determining the quasi co-location information of the physical downlink shared channel according to the state of the terminal device, and receiving and demodulating the physical downlink shared channel according to the quasi co-location information. By determining the quasi co-location information based on the state, the quasi co-location information corresponding to the physical downlink shared channel can be flexibly and accurately determined, and therefore the technical effect of improving the reliability and accuracy of demodulation can be achieved when the physical downlink shared channel is received and demodulated based on the quasi co-location information.

[0118] In some embodiments, the quasi co-location information is used to indicate that the physical downlink shared channel is quasi co-located with a preset reference signal (RS).

[0119] The reference signal can be a reference signal configured and broadcasted by the network device when the terminal device accesses the network device, or a reference signal periodically or aperiodically configured and broadcasted by the network device after the terminal device accesses the network device.

[0120] The reference signal includes a synchronization signal block (SSB) and a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

[0121] In some embodiments, the reference signal is a reference signal with the maximum signal strength and / or the maximum signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) detected by the terminal device when receiving the reference signal.

[0122] In some embodiments, the terminal device can detect the signal strength when receiving the reference signal and select the reference signal with the maximum signal strength, or detect the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) when receiving the reference signal and select the reference signal with the maximum SINR. In the embodiments of the present application, the reference signal with the maximum signal strength and / or the maximum SINR can be selected, and the physical downlink shared channel is determined to be quasi co-located with the reference signal with the maximum signal strength and / or the maximum SINR, so as to realize the accuracy and reliability of the determined quasi co-location information.

[0123] In some embodiments, the quasi co-location information is quasi co-location information in a control resource set carried on a time slot group.

[0124] In some embodiments, the quasi co-location information is quasi co-location information corresponding to a control resource with the minimum index in a control resource set carried on a time slot group.

[0125] In some embodiments, the time slot group includes at least one time slot, and the at least one time slot is closest to the current downlink shared channel in time.

[0126] In some embodiments, the time slot group includes at least two consecutive time slots, the time slot group is closest to the current downlink shared channel in time, and the quasi co-location information is a normalized value of quasi co-location information corresponding to a control resource with the minimum index in a control resource set of each time slot of the time slot group.

[0127] The normalized value can be at least one of an average value, a maximum value, and a minimum value.

[0128] For example, when the normalized value is an average value, quasi co-location information corresponding to a control resource with the minimum index is selected from each time slot, the selected quasi co-location information is averaged to obtain an average value, and the average value is determined as the quasi co-location information.

[0129] For another example, when the normalized value is a maximum value, quasi co-location information corresponding to a control resource with the minimum index is selected from each time slot, and quasi co-location information with the maximum value among the selected quasi co-location information is selected as the quasi co-location information.

[0130] For another example, when the normalization value is the minimum value, then from each time slot, the quasi co-location information corresponding to the control resource with the minimum index is selected, and from the selected quasi co-location information, the quasi co-location information with the minimum value is selected as the quasi co-location information.

[0131] For another example, when the normalization value is the average value and the maximum value, then from each time slot, the quasi co-location information corresponding to the control resource with the minimum index is selected, and the average value of the selected quasi co-location information is obtained, and from each time slot, the quasi co-location information corresponding to the control resource with the minimum index is selected, and from the selected quasi co-location information, the quasi co-location information with the maximum value is selected, and the average value is determined as the quasi co-location information, or the quasi co-location information with the maximum value is determined as the quasi co-location information.

[0132] For another example, when the normalization value is the average value and the minimum value, then from each time slot, the quasi co-location information corresponding to the control resource with the minimum index is selected, and the average value of the selected quasi co-location information is obtained, and from each time slot, the quasi co-location information corresponding to the control resource with the minimum index is selected, and from the selected quasi co-location information, the quasi co-location information with the minimum value is selected, and the average value is determined as the quasi co-location information, or the quasi co-location information with the minimum value is determined as the quasi co-location information.

[0133] For another example, when the normalization value is the average value and the minimum value, then from each time slot, the quasi co-location information corresponding to the control resource with the minimum index is selected, and the average value of the selected quasi co-location information is obtained, and from each time slot, the quasi co-location information corresponding to the control resource with the minimum index is selected, and from the selected quasi co-location information, the quasi co-location information with the minimum value is selected, and the average value is determined as the quasi co-location information, or the quasi co-location information with the minimum value is determined as the quasi co-location information.

[0134] For another example, when the normalization value is the average value, the maximum value and the minimum value, then from each time slot, the quasi co-location information corresponding to the control resource with the minimum index is selected, and the average value of the selected quasi co-location information is obtained, and from each time slot, the quasi co-location information corresponding to the control resource with the minimum index is selected, and from the selected quasi co-location information, the quasi co-location information with the maximum value is selected, and from each time slot, the quasi co-location information corresponding to the control resource with the minimum index is selected, and from the selected quasi co-location information, the quasi co-location information with the minimum value is selected, and the average value is determined as the quasi co-location information, or the quasi co-location information with the maximum value is determined as the quasi co-location information, or the quasi co-location information with the minimum value is determined as the quasi co-location information.

[0135] In some embodiments, when the terminal device is in a stationary state, the quasi co-location information is used to indicate quasi co-location between the physical downlink shared channel and the preset reference signal.

[0136] In some embodiments, the quasi co-location information is not used to indicate quasi co-location between the physical downlink shared channel and the preset reference signal when the terminal device is in a moving state.

[0137] The description about the reference signal can refer to the above examples, which will not be repeated here.

[0138] That is, in the embodiments of the present application, the relationship between the quasi co-location information and the reference signal can be determined based on whether the terminal device is in a stationary state, and specifically, when the terminal device is in a stationary state, the quasi co-location information is used to indicate quasi co-location between the physical downlink shared channel and the preset reference signal, and when the terminal device is in a moving state (i.e., a non-stationary state), the quasi co-location information is not used to indicate quasi co-location between the physical downlink shared channel and the preset reference signal.

[0139] In some embodiments, the quasi co-location information is used to indicate quasi co-location between the physical downlink shared channel and the preset reference signal when the moving speed is less than or equal to a first preset value.

[0140] In some embodiments, the quasi co-location information is not used to indicate quasi co-location between the physical downlink shared channel and the preset reference signal when the moving speed is greater than the first preset value.

[0141] The description about the reference signal can refer to the above examples, which will not be repeated here.

[0142] The first preset value can be set based on demand, experience and experiment, etc.

[0143] That is, in the embodiments of the present application, the relationship between the quasi co-location information and the reference signal can be determined based on the size of the moving speed of the terminal device, and specifically, when the terminal device has a smaller moving speed, the quasi co-location information is used to indicate quasi co-location between the physical downlink shared channel and the preset reference signal, and when the terminal device has a larger moving speed, the quasi co-location information is not used to indicate quasi co-location between the physical downlink shared channel and the preset reference signal.

[0144] The above examples exemplarily list how to determine the quasi co-location information. In order for the reader to more clearly understand how to determine the quasi co-location information according to the state, the following Figure 3 The method of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail. Among them, Figure 3 The flowchart of the signal demodulation method of another embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0145] As Figure 3 shown, the method comprises:

[0146] S21: Obtain the state of the terminal device, and the state includes the moving speed.

[0147] In some embodiments, the step can specifically include: acquiring a detection value of a sensor in the terminal device, wherein the detection value is used to indicate the moving speed. The sensor can include a sensor for detecting speed, such as a displacement sensor, radar, a global positioning system (GPS), location-based services (LBS), and the like.

[0148] S22: determining whether the moving speed is less than or equal to a first preset value, if yes, performing S23, if no, performing S24.

[0149] Based on the above examples, the first preset value can be set based on requirements, experience, and experiments, and the like. For example, the first preset value can be set to a relatively small value, which is used to represent that the terminal device has a relatively small moving distance, or is used to represent that the terminal device has almost no movement (including that the terminal device is in a stationary state). That is, in the case that the terminal device has almost no movement, or in the case that the terminal device has a relatively small moving distance, S23 can be performed.

[0150] S23: the quasi co-location information is used to indicate quasi co-location between the physical downlink shared channel and the reference signal, and S25 is performed.

[0151] The description of S23 can be referred to the above examples, which will not be repeated here.

[0152] S24: the quasi co-location information is quasi co-location information in a control resource set (CORESET) carried on a time slot group, and S25 is performed.

[0153] That is, in the embodiments of the present application, in the case that the moving speed is relatively small, or the terminal device has almost no movement, the quasi co-location information is used to indicate quasi co-location between the physical downlink shared channel and the reference signal, while in the case that the moving speed is relatively large, the quasi co-location information is quasi co-location information in the control resource set carried on the time slot group.

[0154] The quasi co-location information in the control resource set carried on the time slot group is quasi co-location information corresponding to a control resource pair with a smallest index.

[0155] In some embodiments, the moving speed and the determination of the quasi co-location information can be further subdivided.

[0156] For example, on the basis that the moving speed is greater than the first preset value, the moving speed is further compared with a second preset value, if the moving speed is less than the second preset value, the quasi co-location information is the quasi co-location information in the control resource set carried on the time slot group most recently received by the terminal device; if the moving speed is greater than or equal to the second preset value, the quasi co-location information is the quasi co-location information in the control resource set carried on the time slot group received by the terminal device in a preset time period.

[0157] If the moving speed is greater than the first preset value and less than the second preset value, it indicates that the moving speed of the terminal device is relatively slow. In the case that the moving speed of the terminal device is relatively slow, the time slot group most recently received by the terminal device can be determined, and the quasi co-location information can be determined as the quasi co-location information in the control resource set carried on the time slot group most recently received.

[0158] Specifically, if the time slot group includes at least one time slot, the at least one time slot is closest in time to the current downlink shared channel.

[0159] If the moving speed is greater than the first preset value and greater than or equal to the second preset value, it indicates that the moving speed of the terminal device is relatively fast. In the case that the moving speed of the terminal device is relatively fast, the time slot group received by the terminal device in a preset time period can be determined, and the quasi co-location information can be determined as the quasi co-location information in the control resource set carried on the time slot group received in the preset time period.

[0160] Specifically, if the time slot group includes at least two continuous time slots, the time slot group is closest in time to the current downlink shared channel, and the quasi co-location information is the normalized value of the quasi co-location information corresponding to the control resource with the smallest index in the control resource set of each time slot of the time slot group.

[0161] S25: receiving and demodulating the physical downlink shared channel according to the quasi co-location information.

[0162] In some embodiments, S25 can specifically include:

[0163] S251: determining the receiving direction of the signal according to the quasi co-location information.

[0164] S252: receiving and demodulating the physical downlink shared channel in the receiving direction.

[0165] To make the reader more clearly understand the scheme of the embodiments of the present application, especially the triggering condition of the embodiments of the present application, now the signal demodulation method of the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail. Figure 4 The signal demodulation method of the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail. Among them, Figure 4 The flowchart of the signal demodulation method of another embodiment of the present application.

[0166] As Figure 4As shown, the method includes:

[0167] S31: Receive downlink control information (DCI) sent by a network device.

[0168] For example, in Figure 1 In the application scenario shown, the mobile phone receives line control information sent by the base station.

[0169] S32: Determine an offset time for receiving and demodulating a physical downlink shared channel according to the downlink control information.

[0170] The downlink control information carries an offset time, and the offset time is used to represent the time difference between the current moment and the time when the physical downlink shared channel is received.

[0171] S33: Compare the offset time with a preset time threshold. If the offset time is less than the time threshold, execute S34; if the offset time is greater than or equal to the time threshold, return to S31.

[0172] Among them, the time threshold may be a network setting sent to the terminal device when the terminal device accesses the network device; the time threshold may also be carried in the downlink control information.

[0173] As an example, the time threshold is carried in the downlink control information. The offset time and the time threshold carried in the downlink control information may be the same or different. In particular, in the case of multi-transmitter / receiver point (TRP) transmission, the offset time and the time threshold are more likely to be different.

[0174] like Figure 5 As shown, when the terminal device receives downlink control information, it can determine the signal offset time when the terminal device receives the physical downlink shared channel based on the downlink control information, and can also determine the time threshold for receiving the signal of the physical downlink shared channel.

[0175] Combine Figure 5 It can be seen that the time threshold may be greater than the offset time. For example, if the offset time is 0.2 seconds and the time threshold is 0.5 seconds, since the quasi-co-location information in the downlink control information is for receiving and demodulating the physical downlink shared channel after 0.5 seconds, the terminal device cannot receive and demodulate the physical downlink shared channel at 0.2 seconds. Therefore, the solution of the embodiment of the present application can be used to solve this problem.

[0176] S34: determining whether transmission configuration indicator (TCI) information in the downlink control information is in an enabled state, if yes, performing S35-S37, if not, returning to S31.

[0177] The enabled state is also referred to as an excited state, which can be understood as a state of an "allow feeding signal", i.e., a state of the network device for allowing the signal to be sent to the terminal device.

[0178] S35: obtaining a state of the terminal device.

[0179] S36: determining quasi co-location information of the physical downlink shared channel according to the state.

[0180] S37: receiving and demodulating the physical downlink shared channel according to the quasi co-location information.

[0181] The description of S35-S37 can be referred to the description of the above examples, which will not be repeated here.

[0182] According to another aspect of the embodiments of the present application, the embodiments of the present application also provide a terminal device corresponding to the above method.
