Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the following original application:

[0002] --The original application was filed on January 21, 2020.

[0003] --Original application number: 202010069306.8

[0004] --Original application title: A method and apparatus used in a node for wireless communication Technical Field

[0005] This application relates to transmission methods and apparatus in wireless communication systems, and more particularly to transmission methods and apparatus in cross-carrier scheduling in wireless communication. Background Technology

[0006] The application scenarios of future wireless communication systems are becoming increasingly diversified, and different application scenarios place different performance requirements on the system. In traditional LTE (Long-Term Evolution) and LTE-A (Long-Term Evolution Advanced) systems, carrier aggregation technology was introduced to improve transmission bandwidth and increase the capacity of PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel). This means that a scheduled carrier can schedule another carrier through cross-carrier scheduling. Considering system stability and feasibility, the primary cell (PCell) can only be self-scheduled.

[0007] In the evolution of 5G and subsequent Release 17, DSS (Dynamic Spectrum Sharing) technology enables the sharing of LTE and 5G spectrum; thus, when the primary cell of a terminal is an NR carrier and the secondary cell (SCell) is an LTE carrier, the NR carrier can be scheduled through the LTE carrier. At the RAN (Radio Access Network) #86 plenary meeting, it was decided to study DSS-related technologies and begin standardization work. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In the DSS (Distributed Signal Processing) project, there will be a scenario where SCell schedules PCell. In traditional CA (Carrier Aggregation), the PCell, as the primary cell of the terminal, needs to have the highest robustness. Correspondingly, when scheduling PCells in blind detection, the positions of the corresponding PDCCH candidates are also the best performing positions. At the same time, if a secondary cell can schedule a primary cell, the performance of the secondary cell itself will obviously be better. To address these issues, how to configure the positions of PDCCH candidates for different cells on the same time-frequency resource will need to be redesigned.

[0009] This application provides a solution for the novel scenarios described above in DSS. It should be noted that the DSS scenario in the above problem description is merely an example of an application scenario for the solution provided in this application; this application is also applicable to scenarios such as unlicensed frequency spectrum, achieving similar technical effects as in the DSS scenario. Similarly, this application is also applicable to scenarios such as networks with cellular networks or IoT devices, to achieve similar technical effects. Furthermore, adopting a unified solution for different scenarios helps reduce hardware complexity and cost.

[0010] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a solution. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the first node of this application can be applied to the second node, and vice versa. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0011] This application discloses a method for a first node in wireless communication, comprising:

[0012] Receive first information, which is used to determine the target carrier;

[0013] Detect the first signaling in the first set of alternative resources;

[0014] When the first signaling is detected, a first signal is received in the first carrier, and the first signaling is used to determine the time-frequency resources occupied by the first signal in the first carrier;

[0015] Wherein, the first signaling carries a first identifier, which is used to identify the first carrier; the first candidate resource set includes a positive integer number of candidate resource groups, and the first signaling occupies one candidate resource group in the first candidate resource set; any candidate resource group in the first candidate resource set belongs to a target time-frequency resource pool, which includes time-frequency resources other than those included in the first candidate resource set; the frequency domain resources occupied by the target time-frequency resource pool belong to the target carrier; the target identifier is a non-negative integer, which is used to determine the first candidate resource set from the target time-frequency resource pool; the target time-frequency resource pool is one of a first time-frequency resource pool and a second time-frequency resource pool; whether the target time-frequency resource pool and the first time-frequency resource pool are the same is used to determine the target identifier from between a first integer and a second integer; the first integer and the second integer are not equal, and both the first integer and the second integer are non-negative integers.

[0016] This application discloses a method for a first node in wireless communication, comprising:

[0017] Receive first information, which is used to determine the target carrier;

[0018] Detect the first signaling in the first set of alternative resources;

[0019] When the first signaling is detected, a first signal is transmitted in the first carrier, and the first signaling is used to determine the time-frequency resources occupied by the first signal in the first carrier;

[0020] Wherein, the first signaling carries a first identifier, which is used to identify the first carrier; the first candidate resource set includes a positive integer number of candidate resource groups, and the first signaling occupies one candidate resource group in the first candidate resource set; any candidate resource group in the first candidate resource set belongs to a target time-frequency resource pool, which includes time-frequency resources other than those included in the first candidate resource set; the frequency domain resources occupied by the target time-frequency resource pool belong to the target carrier; the target identifier is a non-negative integer, which is used to determine the first candidate resource set from the target time-frequency resource pool; the target time-frequency resource pool is one of a first time-frequency resource pool and a second time-frequency resource pool; whether the target time-frequency resource pool and the first time-frequency resource pool are the same is used to determine the target identifier from between a first integer and a second integer; the first integer and the second integer are not equal, and both the first integer and the second integer are non-negative integers.

[0021] As an example, the advantage of the above method is that when the secondary cell can schedule the primary cell and self-schedule, it establishes a connection between the position of the PDCCH candidate of the data channel on the primary cell and the position of the time-frequency resource where the PDCCH candidate is located, thereby flexibly configuring the position of the PDCCH candidate.

[0022] As an example, another advantage of the above method is that the position of the PDCCH candidate corresponding to CIF equal to 0 can be used by both the PDCCH candidate of the primary cell and the PDCCH candidate of the secondary cell. The above distinction is staggered by time and frequency resources to ensure that there is no ambiguity on the first node side.

[0023] As an example, another advantage of the above method is that: if the secondary cell that can be scheduled for the primary cell is defined as the first secondary cell, then the scheduling for the first secondary cell still needs to ensure its robustness; under the above assumption, the base station can use TDM (Time-Division Duplex) to implement the scheduling for the primary cell and the scheduling for the first secondary cell, both of which use the PDCCH candidate position corresponding to CIF equal to 0.

[0025] Receive the second message;

[0026] The second information is used to indicate a first integer and a second integer; the first integer and the second integer are respectively associated with the first time-frequency resource pool and the second time-frequency resource pool.

[0027] As an example, the advantage of the above method is that: the first integer and the second integer are configured for the first carrier, the first integer is used in the first time-frequency resource pool, and the second integer is used in the second time-frequency resource pool; thus, the CIF value used in PDCCH blind detection changes with the time-frequency resources, making it more flexible.

[0028] According to one aspect of this application, the target carrier is a secondary carrier, and the target carrier can be used to schedule the primary carrier.

[0029] According to one aspect of this application, the time-frequency resources occupied by the first time-frequency resource pool and the time-frequency resources occupied by the second time-frequency resource pool are orthogonal.

[0153] As an example, the first set of alternative resources includes K1 alternative resource groups, and the positions of the K1 alternative resource groups in the target time-frequency resource pool are related to the target identifier.

[0154] As an example, the phrase "whether the target time-frequency resource pool and the first time-frequency resource pool are the same" being used to determine the target identifier from between a first integer and a second integer means that: the target time-frequency resource pool is the same as the first time-frequency resource pool, and the target identifier is equal to the first integer; or the target time-frequency resource pool is the same as the second time-frequency resource pool, and the target identifier is equal to the second integer.

[0155] As a sub-implementation of this embodiment, the first integer is equal to 0, and the second integer is greater than 0.

[0161] As an example, the second time-frequency resource pool is a CORESET.

[0162] As an example, any one of the positive integer number of candidate resource groups included in the first candidate resource set is a PDCCH candidate.

[0163] As an example, any one of the positive integer number of candidate resource groups included in the first candidate resource set consists of a positive integer number of CCEs (Control Channel Elements).

[0164] As an example, the meaning of the above phrase, "the target identifier is used to determine the first candidate resource set from the target time-frequency resource pool," includes: the first candidate resource set includes K1 candidate resource groups, each of the K1 candidate resource groups occupies a positive integer number of CCEs, and the target identifier is used to determine the position of the positive integer number of CCEs occupied by each of the K1 candidate resource groups from the target time-frequency resource pool.

[0165] As a sub-example of this embodiment, the relationship between the target identifier and the positions of the positive integer number of CCEs occupied by any of the K1 candidate resource groups is determined by the following formula:

[0166]

[0167] in, The formula above is used to calculate the identifier of one of the K1 candidate resource groups. The candidate resource group includes indexes of CCEs with aggregation level L; s represents the target time-frequency resource pool, which is associated with the control signaling set (CORESET) p. n represents the index of the time slot to which the time-domain resources included in the first set of candidate resources belong.

[0179] Example 3

[0180] Example 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a wireless protocol architecture for a user plane and a control plane according to this application, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 3 As shown. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment of a radio protocol architecture for the user plane 350 and the control plane 300. Figure 3The radio protocol architecture for the control plane 300 between the first communication node device (UE, gNB, or RSU in V2X) and the second communication node device (gNB, UE, or RSU in V2X) is illustrated using three layers: Layer 1, Layer 2, and Layer 3. Layer 1 (L1 layer) is the lowest layer and implements various PHY (Physical Layer) signal processing functions. Layer 1 will be referred to herein as PHY 301. Layer 2 (L2 layer) 305 sits above PHY 301 and is responsible for the link between the first and second communication node devices via PHY 301. Layer 2 305 includes a MAC (Medium Access Control) sublayer 302, an RLC (Radio Link Control) sublayer 303, and a PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) sublayer 304, which terminate at the second communication node device. The PDCP sublayer 304 provides multiplexing between different radio bearers and logical channels. PDCP sublayer 304 also provides security through encrypted data packets and supports cross-cell mobility between the first and second communication node devices. RLC sublayer 303 provides upper-layer data packet segmentation and reassembly, retransmission of lost packets, and packet reordering to compensate for out-of-order reception due to HARQ. MAC sublayer 302 provides multiplexing between the logical and transport channels. MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for allocating various radio resources (e.g., resource blocks) within a cell among the first communication node devices. MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for HARQ operations. The RRC (Radio Resource Control) sublayer 306 in Layer 3 (L3) of the control plane 300 is responsible for acquiring radio resources (i.e., radio bearers) and configuring the lower layers using RRC signaling between the second and first communication node devices. The radio protocol architecture of user plane 350 includes layer 1 (L1 layer) and layer 2 (L2 layer). The radio protocol architecture for the first and second communication node devices in user plane 350 is largely the same as the corresponding layers and sublayers in control plane 300 for physical layer 351, PDCP sublayer 354 in L2 layer 355, RLC sublayer 353 in L2 layer 355 and MAC sublayer 352 in L2 layer 355. However, PDCP sublayer 354 also provides header compression for upper layer data packets to reduce radio transmission overhead.The L2 layer 355 in the user plane 350 also includes an SDAP (Service Data Adaptation Protocol) sublayer 356, which is responsible for mapping between QoS streams and data radio bearers (DRBs) to support service diversity. Although not illustrated, the first communication node device may have several upper layers above the L2 layer 355, including a network layer (e.g., IP layer) terminating at the P-GW on the network side and an application layer terminating at the other end of the connection (e.g., a remote UE, server, etc.).

[0196] Example 4

[0197] Example 4 shows schematic diagrams of a first communication device and a second communication device according to this application, as shown in the appendix. Figure 4 As shown. Figure 4 This is a block diagram of a first communication device 450 and a second communication device 410 communicating with each other in the access network.

[0198] The first communication device 450 includes a controller / processor 459, a memory 460, a data source 467, a transmitting processor 468, a receiving processor 456, a multi-antenna transmitting processor 457, a multi-antenna receiving processor 458, a transmitter / receiver 454, and an antenna 452.

[0199] The second communication device 410 includes a controller / processor 475, a memory 476, a receiver processor 470, a transmitter processor 416, a multi-antenna receiver processor 472, a multi-antenna transmitter processor 471, a transmitter / receiver 418, and an antenna 420.

[0200] In the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, at the second communication device 410, upper-layer data packets from the core network are provided to the controller / processor 475. The controller / processor 475 implements L2 layer functionality. In the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, the controller / processor 475 provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, multiplexing between logical and transport channels, and radio resource allocation to the first communication device 450 based on various priority metrics. The controller / processor 475 is also responsible for retransmitting lost packets and signaling to the first communication device 450. The transmit processor 416 and the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 implement various signal processing functions for the L1 layer (i.e., the physical layer). Transmit processor 416 performs encoding and interleaving to facilitate forward error correction (FEC) at the second communication device 410, and mapping of signal clusters based on various modulation schemes (e.g., Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), M-Phase Shift Keying (M-PSK), M-QAM). Multi-antenna transmit processor 471 performs digital spatial precoding on the encoded and modulated symbols, including codebook-based and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming processing, generating one or more spatial streams. Transmit processor 416 then maps each spatial stream to subcarriers, multiplexes it with a reference signal (e.g., a pilot) in the time and / or frequency domains, and subsequently uses inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) to generate a physical channel carrying the time-domain multicarrier symbol stream. Multi-antenna transmit processor 471 then performs transmit analog precoding / beamforming operations on the time-domain multicarrier symbol stream. Each transmitter 418 converts the baseband multicarrier symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmitter processor 471 into an radio frequency stream, which is then provided to different antennas 420.

[0201] In the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, at the first communication device 450, each receiver 454 receives a signal through its corresponding antenna 452. Each receiver 454 recovers the information modulated onto the radio frequency carrier and converts the radio frequency stream into a baseband multicarrier symbol stream, which is then provided to the receiver processor 456. The receiver processor 456 and the multi-antenna receiver processor 458 implement various signal processing functions of the L1 layer. The multi-antenna receiver processor 458 performs receive analog precoding / beamforming operations on the baseband multicarrier symbol stream from the receiver 454. The receiver processor 456 uses a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to convert the baseband multicarrier symbol stream after the receive analog precoding / beamforming operations from the time domain to the frequency domain. In the frequency domain, the physical layer data signal and the reference signal are demultiplexed by the receiver processor 456, where the reference signal is used for channel estimation, and the data signal is recovered in the multi-antenna receiver processor 458 after multi-antenna detection to recover any spatial stream destined for the first communication device 450. Symbols on each spatial stream are demodulated and recovered in the receive processor 456, generating soft decisions. The receive processor 456 then decodes and deinterleaves the soft decisions to recover the upper-layer data and control signals transmitted by the second communication device 410 over the physical channel. The upper-layer data and control signals are then provided to the controller / processor 459. The controller / processor 459 implements the functions of Layer 2. The controller / processor 459 may be associated with a memory 460 storing program code and data. The memory 460 may be referred to as computer-readable media. In the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, the controller / processor 459 provides multiplexing, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing between the transport and logical channels to recover upper-layer data packets from the core network. The upper-layer data packets are then provided to all protocol layers above Layer 2. Various control signals may also be provided to Layer 3 for Layer 3 processing.

[0202] In the transmission from the first communication device 450 to the second communication device 410, at the first communication device 450, a data source 467 is used to provide upper-layer data packets to the controller / processor 459. The data source 467 represents all protocol layers above the L2 layer. Similar to the transmission functions at the second communication device 410 described in the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, the controller / processor 459 implements header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between logical and transport channels based on radio resource allocation, implementing L2 layer functions for the user plane and control plane. The controller / processor 459 is also responsible for retransmitting lost packets and signaling to the second communication device 410. Transmit processor 468 performs modulation mapping and channel coding processing, while multi-antenna transmit processor 457 performs digital multi-antenna spatial precoding, including codebook-based and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming processing. Subsequently, transmit processor 468 modulates the generated spatial stream into a multi-carrier / single-carrier symbol stream. After analog precoding / beamforming operations in multi-antenna transmit processor 457, the stream is provided to different antennas 452 via transmitter 454. Each transmitter 454 first converts the baseband symbol stream provided by multi-antenna transmit processor 457 into a radio frequency symbol stream before providing it to antenna 452.

[0203] In the transmission from the first communication device 450 to the second communication device 410, the function at the second communication device 410 is similar to the receiving function at the first communication device 450 described in the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450. Each receiver 418 receives radio frequency signals through its corresponding antenna 420, converts the received radio frequency signals into baseband signals, and provides the baseband signals to the multi-antenna receiving processor 472 and the receiving processor 470. The receiving processor 470 and the multi-antenna receiving processor 472 jointly implement the L1 layer functions. The controller / processor 475 implements the L2 layer functions. The controller / processor 475 may be associated with a memory 476 that stores program code and data. The memory 476 may be referred to as computer-readable media. In the transmission from the first communication device 450 to the second communication device 410, the controller / processor 475 provides multiplexing between the transmission and logical channels, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing to recover upper-layer data packets from the UE 450. Upper-layer packets from the controller / processor 475 can be provided to the core network.
