Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of terminal communication technology, and specifically relates to a time slot configuration method, a terminal, and a network-side device. Background Art

[0002] In a communication system, terminals and network-side devices can use different subcarrier spacings (SCS) to transmit data and control channels. Generally, for different subcarrier spacings, a frame can include multiple time slots. In order to support more flexible scheduling, especially in a time division duplexing (TDD) system, different time slot formats can be designed for the time slots in each frame, and the network-side device can configure the format of the time slots in each frame during communication. Among them, the format of the time slot can specifically include the following three types: a time slot is only used for downlink transmission, or only for uplink transmission, or is a mixed time slot. When configuring the time slot format, the network-side device can configure the number of time slots for uplink transmission and the number of time slots for downlink transmission. The remaining unconfigured time slots can be flexible time slots.

[0003] Currently, higher-frequency SCS has been introduced into communication systems. When the SCS frequency is high, the number of time slots that need to be configured will increase dramatically.

The following description describes a New Radio (NR) system for illustrative purposes, and NR terminology is used in most of the following description, but these technologies can also be applied to applications other than NR system applications, such as 6th generation (6G) systems. thGeneration, 6G) communication system.

[0036] Figure 1 The block diagram of a wireless communication system applicable to the embodiment of the present application is shown. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network side device 12. Among them, the terminal 11 can also be called a terminal device or a user terminal (User Equipment, UE), and the terminal 11 can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a laptop computer (Laptop Computer) or a notebook computer, a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), a handheld computer, a netbook, an ultra-mobile personal computer (ultra-mobile personal computer, UMPC), a mobile Internet device (Mobile Internet Device, MID), a wearable device (Wearable Device) or a vehicle-mounted device (VUE), a pedestrian terminal (PUE) and other terminal-side devices. Wearable devices include: smart watches, bracelets, headphones, glasses, etc. It should be noted that the specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The network side device 12 can be a base station or a core network, where the base station can be called a node B, an evolved node B, an access point, a base transceiver station (Base Transceiver Station, BTS), a radio base station, a radio transceiver, a basic service set (Basic Service Set, BSS), an extended service set (Extended Service Set, ESS), a B node, an evolved B node (eNB), a home B node, a home evolved B node, a WLAN access point, a WiFi node, a transmitting and receiving point (Transmitting Receiving Point, TRP) or other appropriate terms in the field. As long as the same technical effect is achieved, the base station is not limited to a specific technical vocabulary. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, only the base station in the NR system is taken as an example, but the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0037] At present, in the TDD communication system, when the network side device configures the time slot format, it can use TDD-UL-DL-ConfigCommon for configuration. Specifically, the network side device can indicate the number of time slots for downlink transmission through the indication field nrofDownlinkSlots, and use the indication field nrofUplinkSlots to indicate the number of time slots for uplink transmission. The remaining time slots can be flexible time slots (when the transmission cycle and SCS of the uplink / downlink are determined, the number of time slots in each frame is fixed. After the network side device indicates the number of time slots for uplink and downlink transmission, the remaining number of time slots is the number of flexible time slots). Among them, nrofDownlinkSlots and nrofUplinkSlots both include a specific number of bits.

[0038] When the SCS frequency is high, the number of time slots that need to be configured will increase dramatically. In this way, when the network-side device uses nrofDownlinkSlots and nrofUplinkSlots to indicate the number of time slots for downlink transmission and the number of time slots for uplink transmission, respectively, it will be limited by the number of bits in nrofDownlinkSlots and nrofUplinkSlots, and the format of some time slots will not be configured.

[0039] Taking the SCS frequencies of 480KHz and 960KHz and the transmission period of 10ms as an example, when the SCS frequency is 480KHz and the transmission period is 10ms, the number of time slots in a frame is 320. Since the maximum number of time slots for uplink transmission can be 320 (the number of time slots for downlink transmission is 0 at this time), the maximum number of time slots for downlink transmission can also be 320 (the number of time slots for uplink transmission is 0 at this time), therefore, the above two indication fields nrofDownlinkSlots and nrofUplinkSlots can each contain 9 bits, thereby effectively configuring the format of each time slot. However, when the SCS frequency is 960KHz and the transmission period is 10ms, the number of time slots in one frame will increase to 640. In this case, if 9 bits of nrofDownlinkSlots and nrofUplinkSlots are used to refer to the number of time slots for downlink transmission and the number of time slots for uplink transmission respectively, a maximum of 512 time slots for uplink transmission / downlink transmission can be indicated. When the number of time slots for uplink transmission / downlink transmission is greater than 512, nrofDownlinkSlots and nrofUplinkSlots cannot be used for effective indication.

[0040] In response to the current problem of being unable to effectively configure the formats of certain time slots, an embodiment of the present application provides a time slot configuration method, a terminal, and a network-side device. Considering that the number of different uplink and downlink transmission time slots in more scenarios can be indicated by indexing, a unique corresponding first index can be determined in advance for the number of uplink and downlink transmission time slots in different scenarios. When the network-side device configures the format of the time slot, it can indicate the first index through the first indication field in the configuration information, and the terminal determines the number of uplink transmission time slots and the number of downlink transmission time slots based on the first index. In this way, since the format of a larger number of time slots can be indicated by indexing, when the number of time slots that need to be configured is large, the number of time slots of different formats can be effectively indicated through the first index, so that the format of each time slot can be effectively configured.

[0041] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes in detail the time slot configuration method, terminal, and network-side device provided in the embodiments of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a time slot configuration 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.

[0043] S202: The terminal receives configuration information, where the configuration information includes a first indication field, and the first indication field is used to indicate a first index.

[0044] In S202, the network-side device may pre-determine a corresponding first index for the number of time slots for uplink and downlink transmissions in different scenarios. The first index may correspond to unique uplink transmission time slot data and unique downlink transmission time slot number. Thus, when configuring the time slot format, the network-side device may send configuration information to the terminal device. The configuration information includes a first indication field, which is used to indicate the first index.

[0045] The above-mentioned first indication field may consist of one indication domain or multiple indication domains. Optionally, the multiple indication domains may be the two indication domains nrofDownlinkSlots and nrofUplinkSlots in the TDD-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon configuration in the prior art. The first indication field may include multiple bits, which may be used to indicate a first index. Optionally, the maximum value of the multiple bits may be greater than the maximum value of the first index, and the maximum value of the first index may be understood as the number of combinations of the number of time slots for different uplink and downlink transmissions.

[0046] After the network-side device sends the configuration information to the terminal, the terminal can receive the above configuration information from the network-side device.

[0047] S204: Determine a first time slot number for uplink transmission and a second time slot number for downlink transmission based on the first index.

[0048] After receiving the configuration information, the terminal can determine the number of time slots for uplink transmission and the number of time slots for downlink transmission based on the first index indicated by the configuration information. For distinction, the first time slot number can represent the number of time slots for uplink transmission, and the second time slot number can represent the number of time slots for downlink transmission.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the terminal determines the first number of time slots and the second number of time slots based on the first index, it can be implemented in at least two ways, and the following will respectively describe these two implementation ways.

[0050] The first implementation method:

[0051] The terminal may determine the first number of time slots based on the first index and a predefined first function, and determine the second number of time slots based on the first index and a predefined second function.

[0052] The first function may be related to the first number of time slots, the total number of time slots, and the first index, i.e., the first function may represent the functional relationship between the first number of time slots, the total number of time slots, and the first index. The second function may be related to the second number of time slots and the first index, i.e., the second function may represent the functional relationship between the second number of time slots and the first index. The total number of time slots may be determined based on the current SCS and the transmission period of the uplink and downlink.

[0053] Alternatively, the first function may be related to the first number of time slots and the first index, and the first function may represent the functional relationship between the first number of time slots and the first index. The second function may be related to the second number of time slots, the total number of time slots, and the first index, and the second function may represent the functional relationship between the second number of time slots, the total number of time slots, and the first index.

[0054] The first function and the second function may be predefined by a protocol, and a unique first time slot number may be determined based on the first function and the first index, and a unique second time slot number may be determined based on the second function and the first index.

[0055] For ease of understanding, the following takes the example of 640 time slots that need to be configured (which can correspond to an SCS of 960KHz and a transmission period of 10ms) and 18 bits in the first indication field (which can be bits in nrofDownlinkSlots and nrofUplinkSlots) to explain how the network side device determines (or how the protocol predefines) the first function and the second function and how the terminal determines the first number of time slots and the second number of time slots based on the first function and the second function.

[0056] When there are a total of 640 time slots in the dl-UL-TransmissionPeriodicity period, considering the number of time slots for all possible uplink and downlink transmissions, the correspondence between the first index x indicated by 18 bits and the number of time slots for different uplink and downlink transmissions can be obtained, as shown in Table 1 below.

[0057] Table 1

[0058] First index x The first time slot number Y1 Second time slot number Y2 000…00 M 0 000…01 M-1 0 000…10 M-1 1 M-2 0 M-2 1 M-2 2 …… 0 M-1 111…11 0 M

[0059] In Table 1 above, M is 639. As can be seen from Table 1, there are 1+2+...+640=205120 possible combinations of the number of time slots for uplink and downlink transmission. Considering that the maximum index corresponding to 18 bits is 2 18 -1 = 262143, which is greater than 205120. Therefore, 205120 combinations can be represented using an 18-bit first index. Each combination corresponds to a first index, and each first index corresponds to a unique first time slot number Y1 and a unique second time slot number Y2. Therefore, the first time slot number Y1 can be represented as a function containing the first index x, and the second time slot number Y2 can be derived from the first time slot number Y1 and the first index x.

[0060] The derivation process of the first function and the second function can be as follows:

[0061] Assuming that the same first time slot number Y1 in Table 1 corresponds to a group i, the relationship between x and i can be expressed as the following formula:

[0062]

[0063] Based on the above formula, the formula for i can be derived:

[0064]

[0065] Since i is an integer, the following relationship equation between i and the first index x can be determined based on the above formula for i:

[0066]

[0067] Since the same number of first time slots can correspond to a group i, the number of first time slots Y1 can be expressed as the following formula:

[0068] M is the value obtained by subtracting one from the total number of time slots. When the total number of time slots is 640, M is 639.

[0069] For the second time slot number Y2, the relationship between Y2 and the first index x can be expressed as the following formula:

[0070]

[0071] By deducing the above formula for Y2, we can obtain the following lighting relationship between Y2 and the first index x:

[0072]

[0073] Based on the above derivation process, it can be determined that the first function is: The second function is:

[0074] Based on the same derivation method, the first function can also be determined as: The second function is:

[0075] Based on the first and second functions, when the terminal determines the first and second numbers of time slots based on the first index, the terminal may determine a unique first number of time slots based on the first function and determine a unique second number of time slots based on the second function.

[0076] It should be noted that the derivation process of the formulas of the above-mentioned first function and second function is explained using the example of a total number of time slots of 640. When the total number of time slots is other numbers, the first function and second function can also be derived based on the same method. The derivation process of the first function and second function under other total numbers of time slots will not be explained one by one here.

[0077] The second implementation method:

[0078] The terminal may determine the second index based on the first index and a predefined first formula. If the second index is less than the first specified value, the terminal may determine the first number of time slots based on the first index and a predefined third function, and the second number of time slots based on the first index and a predefined fourth function. If the second index is greater than or equal to the first specified value, the terminal may determine the first number of time slots based on the first index and a predefined fifth function, and the second number of time slots based on the first index and a predefined sixth function.

[0079] The first specified value may be determined based on the total number of time slots, which may be pre-configured by the network device or pre-defined by the protocol. The total number of time slots is determined by the SCS and the transmission period of the uplink and downlink. Optionally, the first specified value may be equal to the total number of time slots minus one.

[0080] The first formula is related to the first index and the second specified value. The second specified value may also be determined based on the total number of time slots, which may be pre-configured by the network device or pre-defined by the protocol. The first specified value and the second specified value may be the same or different.

[0081] The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth functions described above are all related to the first index and the second specified value, but the functional relationships between these four functions and the first index and the second specified value are different. Specifically, the third function represents a first functional relationship between the first number of time slots, the first index, and the second specified value; the fourth function represents a second functional relationship between the second number of time slots, the first index, and the second specified value; the fifth function represents a third functional relationship between the first number of time slots, the first index, and the second specified value; and the sixth function represents a fourth functional relationship between the second number of time slots, the first index, and the second specified value.

[0082] The above-mentioned third function, fourth function, fifth function and sixth function can be predefined by the protocol, and based on the third function, the first index and the second specified value, a unique number of first time slots can be determined, based on the fourth function, the first index and the second specified value, a unique number of second time slots can be determined, based on the fifth function, the first index and the second specified value, a unique number of first time slots can be determined, and based on the sixth function, the first index and the second specified value, a unique number of second time slots can be determined.

[0083] In one possible implementation, the first index may be determined by referring to a similar calculation method for index values ​​(starting position and length indicator value, referred to as SLIV), thereby obtaining the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth functions.

[0084] First, a boundary value A can be set for the first number of time slots and the second number of time slots, where A is a positive integer. Alternatively, A can be determined by the total number of time slots, which can be specifically expressed as:

[0085] or B is an integer, and its value can be -1, 0 or 1, etc., which is pre-configured by the network side device or pre-defined by the protocol. M is determined by the total number of time slots. Optionally, M can be equal to the total number of time slots minus one.

[0086] Secondly, referring to the calculation method of SLIV, the first index x can be obtained as follows:

[0087] if 0 <= Y1 <= A

[0088] x = M * (Y1 + Q) + Y2 + N

[0089] Else A < Y1 <= M

[0090] x = M * (M – Y1 + G) + M – Y2 + H。

[0091] Alternatively, it can also be:

[0092] if 0 <= Y2 <= A [[ID=1​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Alternatively, after determining the second index, if the second index is less than the above first specified value, the size relationship between the number of second time slots and the boundary value A can be determined as 0 <= Y2 <= A. At this time, Y1 = x%M - N can be obtained. If the second index is greater than or equal to the above first specified value, the size relationship between the number of first time slots and the boundary value A can be determined as A < Y1 <= M. At this time, Y1 = M + H - x%M can be obtained.

[0104] Through the above steps, the terminal can determine a unique number of first time slots and a unique number of second time slots based on the first index. Among them, the third function is: The fourth function is: Y2 = x%M - N, or, the third function is: Y1 = x%M - N, and the fourth function is: The fifth function is: The sixth function is: Y2 = M + H - x%M, or, the fifth function is: Y1 = M + H - x%M, and the sixth function is:

[0105] In the embodiments of the present application, a unique corresponding first index can be determined in advance for the number of time slots for uplink and downlink transmissions in different scenarios. When the network-side device configures the format of the time slots, it can indicate the first index through the first indication field in the configuration information, and the terminal determines the number of time slots for uplink transmission and the number of time slots for downlink transmission based on the first index. In this way, since the format of a larger number of time slots can be indicated by means of an index, when the number of time slots to be configured is large, the first index can effectively indicate the number of time slots in different formats, so that the format of each time slot can be effectively configured.

[0106] As Figure 3 shown, the embodiments of the present application provide a time slot configuration method 300. This method can be executed by a network-side device. In other words, this method can be executed by software or hardware installed in the network-side device. The method includes the following steps.

[0107] S302: The network-side device sends configuration information, and the configuration information includes a first indication field. The first indication field is used to indicate a first index, and the first index is used to determine the number of first time slots for uplink transmission and the number of second time slots for downlink transmission.

[0108] In S302, the network-side device can determine the corresponding first index for the number of time slots for uplink and downlink transmissions in different scenarios in advance. The first index can correspond to a unique time slot data for uplink transmission and a unique number of time slots for downlink transmission. In this way, when configuring the time slot format, the network-side device can send configuration information to the terminal device. The configuration information includes a first indication field, and the first indication field is used to indicate the first index.

[0109] The above-mentioned first indication field may consist of one indication domain or multiple indication domains. Optionally, the multiple indication domains may be the two indication domains nrofDownlinkSlots and nrofUplinkSlots in the TDD-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon configuration in the prior art. The first indication field may include multiple bits, which may be used to indicate a first index. Optionally, the maximum value of the multiple bits may be greater than the maximum value of the first index, and the maximum value of the first index may be understood as the number of combinations of the number of time slots for different uplink and downlink transmissions.

[0110] In one implementation, the above-mentioned first index is used to determine the first number of time slots and the second number of time slots, and specifically, the first index and a predefined first function are used to determine the first number of time slots, and the first index and a predefined second function are used to determine the second number of time slots. Among them, the first function and the first number of time slots, the total number of time slots and the first index can characterize the functional relationship between the first number of time slots and the total number of time slots and the first index. The second function is related to the second number of time slots and the first index, and can characterize the functional relationship between the second number of time slots and the first index, and the total number of time slots is determined by the transmission period of the SCS. Alternatively, the first function is related to the first number of time slots and the first index, and the first function can characterize the functional relationship between the first number of time slots and the first index. The second function is related to the second number of time slots, the total number of time slots and the first index, and the second function can characterize the functional relationship between the second number of time slots and the total number of time slots and the first index.

[0111] The first function and the second function can be pre-configured by the network side device or pre-defined by the protocol. In a possible implementation, the specific derivation process of the first function and the second function can be found in Figure 2 The corresponding contents in the illustrated embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0112] In another implementation, the above-mentioned first index is also used to determine the second index through a predefined first formula. In this case, the first index is used to determine the first number of time slots and the second number of time slots. Specifically, when the second index is less than the first specified value, the first index and the predefined third function are used to determine the first number of time slots, and the first index and the predefined fourth function are used to determine the second number of time slots. When the second index is greater than or equal to the first specified value, the first index and the predefined fifth function are used to determine the first number of time slots, and the first index and the predefined sixth function are used to determine the second number of time slots. Among them, the first specified value can be determined based on the total number of time slots, specifically pre-configured by the network side device or predefined by the protocol, and the total number of time slots can be determined by the current SCS and transmission period.

[0113] The first formula is related to a first index and a second specified value, where the second specified value is determined based on the total number of time slots.
