Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a scheduling method, apparatus, device, and readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In wireless communication systems, such as Rel-16 NR systems, the FR2inter-bandCA scenario has been introduced. User equipment (UE) can receive downlink signals from different serving cells through Independent Beam Management (IBM) or Common Beam Management (CBM).

[0003] For UEs that support IBM, they can use independent receive / transmit beams for receiving / transmitting in different serving cells. However, for UEs that only support CBM mode, they can only use the same receive / transmit beam for receiving / transmitting in different serving cells.

[0004] For UEs that only support CBM mode, if the timing difference between the receive or transmit signals between serving cells is greater than the length of the Cycle Prefix (CP), it may cause inter-symbol interference.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to address the problem of inter-symbol interference. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a scheduling method, apparatus, device and storage medium.

[0007] Firstly, a scheduling method is provided, the method being executed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

[0011] In this method, the user equipment sends the maximum reception timing difference to the network equipment, so that both the user equipment and the network equipment determine a reasonable N value based on this maximum reception timing difference. Based on this N value and the reference signal measurement time period, a reasonable first time period is determined. Thus, the network equipment does not send downlink information to the user equipment during the first time period, and the user equipment does not transmit radio information during the first time period, effectively avoiding inter-symbol interference.

[0012] In some possible implementations, the condition for triggering the execution of the scheduling method is that the maximum receive timing difference is greater than or equal to the length of the cyclic prefix.

[0039] In this method, the user equipment sends the maximum reception timing difference to the network equipment, so that both the user equipment and the network equipment determine a reasonable N value based on this maximum reception timing difference. Based on this N value and the reference signal measurement time period, a reasonable first time period is determined.

[0089] This disclosure provides a scheduling method applied to a wireless communication system 100, with reference to... Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a scheduling method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, this method includes:

[0090] Step S21: User equipment 101 sends the maximum reception timing difference to network device 102;

[0091] In step S22, user equipment 101 determines N based on the maximum reception timing difference; where N represents the number of symbols. And, in step S22', network device 102 determines N based on the maximum reception timing difference; where N represents the number of symbols.

[0092] In step S23, user equipment 101 does not transmit radio information during the first time period of the measurement process; wherein, the first time period corresponds to the period between the Nth symbol before the second time period and the Nth symbol after the second time period; the second time period is the reference signal measurement time period corresponding to the measurement process. And, in step S23', network device 102 does not send scheduling information to user equipment 101 during the first time period of the measurement process performed by user equipment 101; wherein, the first time period corresponds to the period between the Nth symbol before the second time period and the Nth symbol after the second time period; the second time period is the reference signal measurement time period corresponding to the measurement process.

[0093] In some possible implementations, N is the rounded-up value of the ratio of the maximum reception timing difference to the symbol duration.

[0102] In this embodiment of the disclosure, user equipment 101 sends the maximum reception timing difference to network device 102, so that both user equipment 101 and network device 102 determine a reasonable N value based on the maximum reception timing difference, and determine a reasonable first time period based on the N value and the reference signal measurement time period. Thus, network device 102 does not send scheduling information to user equipment 101 during the first time period, and user equipment 101 does not transmit wireless information during the first time period, effectively avoiding inter-symbol interference.

[0103] This disclosure provides a scheduling method, which is applied to user equipment 101, with reference to... Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a scheduling method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, this method includes:

[0104] Step S31: Send the maximum reception timing difference to network device 102;

[0105] Step S32: Determine N based on the maximum receiving timing difference; where N represents the number of symbols;

[0109] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the time interval between the Nth symbol before the second time interval and the start time of the second time interval constitutes the left protection boundary to resist the effects caused by the maximum reception timing difference. The time interval between the Nth symbol after the second time interval and the end time of the second time interval constitutes the right protection boundary to resist the effects caused by the maximum reception timing difference.

[0110] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the user equipment 101 sends the maximum reception timing difference to the network device 102, so that both the user equipment 101 and the network device 102 determine a reasonable N value based on this maximum reception timing difference, and determine a reasonable first time period based on this N value and the reference signal measurement time period. Thus, the network device 102 does not send downlink information to the user equipment 101 during the first time period, and the user equipment 101 does not transmit wireless information during the first time period, effectively avoiding inter-symbol interference.

[0111] This disclosure provides a scheduling method applied to user equipment 101. In this method, the condition for triggering the execution of the scheduling method is that the maximum reception timing difference is greater than or equal to the length of the cyclic prefix. This scheduling method includes:

[0112] Step S31: Send the maximum reception timing difference to network device 102;

[0113] Step S32: Determine N based on the maximum receiving timing difference; where N represents the number of symbols;

[0117] In this embodiment of the disclosure, given that inter-symbol interference may occur when the timing difference between the reception or transmission of serving cells is greater than the length of the cyclic prefix, the scheduling method is only executed when the maximum reception timing difference is greater than or equal to the length of the cyclic prefix, thereby saving user equipment processing capacity.

[0118] This disclosure provides a scheduling method, which is applied to user equipment 101, with reference to... Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a scheduling method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 4 As shown, this method includes:

[0119] Step S40: Measure multiple receiving timing differences and determine the maximum receiving timing difference among the multiple receiving timing differences;

[0120] If the maximum receiving timing difference is greater than or equal to the length of the cyclic prefix, then steps S41 to S43 are executed; if the maximum receiving timing difference is less than the length of the cyclic prefix, then steps S41 to S43 are not executed.

[0121] Step S41: Send the maximum reception timing difference to network device 102;

[0122] Step S42: Determine N based on the maximum receiving timing difference; where N represents the number of symbols.

[0128] In some possible implementations, not transmitting radio information includes not performing any of the following operations: transmitting PUCCH, transmitting PUSCH, transmitting SRS signals, receiving PDCCH, receiving PDSCH, receiving TRS signals, or receiving CSI-RS signals for CQI feedback.

[0129] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the user equipment 101 measures multiple reception timing differences and determines the maximum reception timing difference from the multiple reception timing differences to ensure the accuracy of the maximum reception timing difference, thereby making the determined first time period more accurate and effectively avoiding inter-symbol interference.

[0130] This disclosure provides a scheduling method applied to user equipment 101, the method comprising:

[0131] Step S31a: Send the maximum receive timing difference to network device 102;

[0137] In this embodiment, user equipment 101 sends the maximum reception timing difference to network device 102, so that both user equipment 101 and network device 102 determine a reasonable N value based on this maximum reception timing difference. As a result, network device 102 determines a more reasonable first time period based on the SMTC time window and the N value, so that network device 102 does not send downlink information to user equipment 101 during the first time period when user equipment 101 is performing co-frequency measurement, and user equipment 101 does not transmit radio information during the first time period, effectively avoiding inter-symbol interference.

[0142] In some possible implementations, step S30b is included before step S31b, measuring multiple reception timing differences and determining the maximum reception timing difference among the multiple reception timing differences. If the maximum reception timing difference is greater than or equal to the length of the cyclic prefix, steps S31b to S33b are executed; if the maximum reception timing difference is less than the length of the cyclic prefix, the process ends.

[0146] In this embodiment of the disclosure, user equipment 101 sends the maximum reception timing difference to network device 102, so that both user equipment 101 and network device 102 determine a reasonable N value based on this maximum reception timing difference. As a result, network device 102 determines a more reasonable first time period based on the RLM-RS time window and the N value, so that network device 102 does not send downlink information to user equipment 101 during the first time period when user equipment 101 is performing RLM measurement, and user equipment 101 does not transmit radio information during the first time period, effectively avoiding inter-symbol interference.

[0148] Step S31c: Send the maximum receive timing difference to the network device;

[0149] Step S32c: Determine N based on the maximum receiving timing difference; where N represents the number of symbols.
