[0002] This patent application claims priority to U.S. non-provisional patent application No. 17 / 248,444, filed January 25, 2021, entitled “PHYSICAL UPLINK CONTROLCHANNEL CONFIGURATION FOR MILLIMETER WAVE BANDS”, which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference.

[0003] open field

[0004] Various aspects of this disclosure generally relate to wireless communication, and specifically to techniques and apparatus for configuring physical uplink control channels in millimeter-wave bands. Background Technology

[0005] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunications services such as telephone, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems employ multiple access technologies that can support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power). Examples of such multiple access technologies include Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) systems, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) systems, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) systems, Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) systems, Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE / LTE-Advanced is an enhancement set of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard issued by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0006] A wireless network may include several base stations (BSs) capable of supporting communication between several user equipments (UEs). UEs can communicate with the BS via downlink and uplink. The downlink (or forward link) refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, while the uplink (or reverse link) refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, the BS may be referred to as a B-node, gNB, access point (AP), radio headend, transmit / receive point (TRP), new radio (NR) BS, 5G B-node, etc.

[0007] The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol enabling different user equipment to communicate at the city, country, region, and even global levels. NR (which can also be referred to as 5G) is an enhancement set of the LTE mobile standard issued by 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband Internet access by using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with a Cyclic Prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink (DL), and using CP-OFDM and / or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as Discrete Fourier Transform Extended OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technologies and carrier aggregation to improve spectral efficiency, reduce costs, improve service, utilize new spectrum, and better integrate with other open standards. Further improvements to LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to grow.

[0025] Detailed description

[0026] The various aspects of this disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to any specific structure or function given throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or in combination with any other aspect of this disclosure. For example, any number of aspects set forth herein may be used to implement an apparatus or practice. Furthermore, the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover such apparatuses or methods practiced using additional structures, functionalities, or structures and functionalities that complement or supplement the various aspects of this disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein may be implemented by one or more elements of the claims.

[0027] Several aspects of a telecommunications system will now be described with reference to various devices and techniques. These devices and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and explained in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively, "elements"). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0028] It should be noted that although the aspects herein may be described using terms commonly associated with 5G or NR radio access technology (RAT), the aspects of this disclosure may be applied to other RATs, such as 3G RAT, 4G RAT, and / or RATs after 5G (e.g., 6G).

[0029] Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100 according to various aspects of this disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be a 5G (NR) network and / or an LTE network, etc., or may include elements thereof. The wireless network 100 may include several base stations 110 (shown as BS 110a, BS 110b, BS 110c, and BS 110d) and other network entities. A base station (BS) is an entity that communicates with a user equipment (UE) and may also be referred to as an NRBS, B-node, gNB, 5G B-node (NB), access point, transmit / receive point (TRP), etc. Each BS may provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In 3GPP, the term "cell" may refer to the coverage area of ​​a BS and / or the BS subsystem serving that coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0030] A BS can provide communication coverage for macrocells, picocells, femtocells, and / or another type of cell. Macrocells can cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and allow unrestricted access by UEs with a service subscription. Picocells can cover a relatively small geographic area and allow unrestricted access by UEs with a service subscription. Femtocells can cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a residential area) and allow restricted access by UEs associated with that femtocell (e.g., UEs in a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG)). A BS used for macrocells may be referred to as a macro BS. A BS used for picocells may be referred to as a pico BS. A BS used for femtocells may be referred to as a femto BS or a home BS. Figure 1In the example shown, BS 110a can be a macro BS for macro cell 102a, BS 110b can be a pico BS for pico cell 102b, and BS 110c can be a femto BS for femto cell 102c. A BS can support one or more (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB,” “base station,” “NR BS,” “gNB,” “TRP,” “AP,” “B node,” “5G NB,” and “cell” are used interchangeably herein.

[0031] In some respects, the cell may not be stationary, and the geographical area of ​​the cell may move depending on the location of the mobile BS. In some respects, BSs may interconnect with each other and / or interconnect to one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 via various types of backhaul interfaces (such as direct physical connections or virtual networks, using any suitable transport network).

[0032] The wireless network 100 may also include a relay station. A relay station is an entity capable of receiving data transmissions from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and transmitting those data transmissions to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station may also be a UE capable of relaying transmissions for other UEs. Figure 1 In the example shown, relay BS 110d can communicate with macro BS 110a and UE 120d to facilitate communication between BS 110a and UE 120d. A relay BS can also be referred to as a relay station, relay base station, relay, etc.

[0033] Wireless network 100 can be a heterogeneous network comprising different types of Base Stations (BSs) such as macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, etc. These different types of BSs may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different effects on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro BSs may have high transmit power levels (e.g., 5 to 40 watts), while pico BSs, femto BSs, and relay BSs may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

[0034] Network controller 130 can be coupled to a set of BSs and can provide coordination and control over these BSs. Network controller 130 can communicate with each BS via backhaul. These BSs can also communicate with each other directly or indirectly, for example, via wireless or wired backhaul.

[0035] UE 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) may be distributed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE may be stationary or mobile. UE may also be referred to as an access terminal, terminal, mobile station, subscriber unit, station, etc. UE may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), personal digital assistant (PDA), wireless modem, wireless communication device, handheld device, laptop computer, cordless phone, wireless local loop (WLL) station, tablet, camera, gaming device, netbook, smartbook, ultrabook, medical device or equipment, biometric sensor / device, wearable device (smartwatch, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), entertainment device (e.g., music or video device, or satellite radio), vehicle component or sensor, smart meter / sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, GPS device, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via wireless or wired media.

[0036] Some UEs may be considered machine-type communication (MTC) devices or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, instruments, monitors, and / or location tags that can communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Wireless nodes may provide connectivity to or to a network (e.g., a wide area network, such as the Internet or a cellular network) via wired or wireless communication links, for example. Some UEs may be considered Internet of Things (IoT) devices and / or may be implemented as NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) devices. Some UEs may be considered customer premises equipment (CPE). UE 120 may be included within a housing that houses components of UE 120, such as processor components and / or memory components. In some aspects, the processor components and memory components may be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and memory components (e.g., memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.

[0037] Generally, any number of wireless networks can be deployed in a given geographical area. Each wireless network can support a specific RAT and can operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT can also be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. A frequency can also be referred to as a carrier, frequency channel, etc. Each frequency can support a single RAT in a given geographical area to avoid interference between wireless networks using different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks can be deployed.

[0038] In some respects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using base station 110 as an intermediary). For example, UEs 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols or vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols), and / or mesh networks. In this scenario, UEs 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein as performed by base station 110.

[0039] Devices in the wireless network 100 can communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which can be subdivided into various categories, bands, channels, etc., based on frequency or wavelength. For example, devices in the wireless network 100 can communicate using an operating band with a first frequency range (FR1) and / or an operating band with a second frequency range (FR2), where the first frequency range (FR1) spans from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz and the second frequency range (FR2) spans from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz. The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are sometimes referred to as intermediate frequency bands. Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to as the "sub-6 GHz" band. Similarly, although different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz–300 GHz) designated as the "millimeter wave" band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), FR2 is often referred to as the "millimeter wave" band. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, it should be understood that, if used herein, the terms "sub-6 GHz" and the like can broadly refer to frequencies less than 6 GHz, frequencies within FR1, and / or intermediate frequency band frequencies (e.g., greater than 7.125 GHz). Similarly, unless otherwise stated, it should be understood that, if used herein, the terms "millimeter wave" and the like can broadly refer to frequencies within the EHF band, frequencies within FR2, and / or intermediate frequency band frequencies (e.g., less than 24.25 GHz). It is conceivable that the frequencies included in FR1 and FR2 can be modified, and the techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0040] As indicated above, Figure 1 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 1 The example described.

[0041] Figure 2This is a diagram illustrating an example 200 of communication between a base station 110 and a UE 120 in a wireless network 100 according to various aspects of this disclosure. The base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234a to 234t, while the UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252a to 252r, wherein generally T ≥ 1 and R ≥ 1.

[0042] At base station 110, transmit processor 220 can receive data destined for one or more UEs from data source 212, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on channel quality indicators (CQI) received from each UE, process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for each UE based at least in part on the MCS selected for each UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmit processor 220 can also process system information (e.g., semi-static resource allocation information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and / or upper-layer signaling), and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor 220 can also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS) or demodulation reference signals (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signal (PSS) or secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). The transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 can perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on ​​data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, where applicable, and can provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232a to 232t. Each modulator 232 can process its respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 can further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and up-convert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. The T downlink signals from modulators 232a to 232t can be transmitted via T antennas 234a to 234t, respectively.

[0043] At UE 120, antennas 252a to 252r can receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations and can provide the received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254a to 254r respectively. Each demodulator 254 can condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) the received signal to obtain an input sample. Each demodulator 254 can further process the input sample (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. MIMO detector 256 can obtain the received symbols from all R demodulators 254a to 254r, perform MIMO detection on these received symbols where applicable, and provide detected symbols. Receiver processor 258 can process (e.g., demodulate and decode) these detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE 120 to data sink 260, and provide decoded control information and system information to controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" can refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. The channel processor can determine parameters such as Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), and / or Channel Quality Indicator (CQI). In some respects, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in the housing 284.

[0044] Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294, controller / processor 290, and memory 292. Network controller 130 may include one or more devices, such as those in a core network. Network controller 130 may communicate with base station 110 via communication unit 294.

[0045] Antennas (e.g., antennas 234a to 234t and / or antennas 252a to 252r) may include, or be included therein, one or more antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include one or more antenna elements. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include coplanar antenna element sets and / or non-coplanar antenna element sets. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include antenna elements within a single housing and / or multiple antenna elements within housings. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include elements coupled to one or more transmission and / or reception components (such as...). Figure 2 One or more antenna elements (one or more components).

[0046] On the uplink, at UE 120, transmit processor 264 can receive and process data from data source 262 and control information from controller / processor 280 (e.g., reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI). Transmit processor 264 can also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. Symbols from transmit processor 264 may be pre-encoded by TX MIMO processor 266 where applicable, further processed by modulators 254a to 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to base station 110. In some aspects, modulators and demodulators (e.g., MOD / DEMOD 254) of UE 120 may be included in the modem of UE 120. In some aspects, UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antennas 252, modulators and / or demodulators 254, MIMO detectors 256, receiver processors 258, transmitter processors 264, and / or TX MIMO processors 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 280) and memory 282 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein, for example, as referenced. Figure 6-7 As described.

[0047] At base station 110, uplink signals from UE 120 and other UEs can be received by antenna 234, processed by demodulator 232, detected by MIMO detector 236 where applicable, and further processed by receiver processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information transmitted by UE 120. Receiver processor 238 can provide the decoded data to data sink 239 and the decoded control information to controller / processor 240. Base station 110 may include communication unit 244 and communicate with network controller 130 via communication unit 244. Base station 110 may include scheduler 246 to schedule UE 120 for downlink and / or uplink communications. In some aspects, the modulator and demodulator (e.g., MOD / DEMOD 232) of base station 110 may be included in the modem of base station 110. In some aspects, base station 110 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antennas 234, modulators and / or demodulators 232, MIMO detectors 236, receiver processors 238, transmitter processors 220, and / or TX MIMO processors 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 240) and memory 242 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein, for example, as referenced. Figure 6-7 As described.

[0048] The controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component may perform one or more techniques associated with the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) for millimeter-wave (mmWave) bands, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component that can execute or direct, for example Figure 7 The operation of process 700 and / or other processes as described herein. Memory 242 and 282 may store data and program code for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some aspects, memory 242 and / or memory 282 may include: a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and / or program code) for wireless communication. For example, when executed by one or more processors of base station 110 and / or UE 120 (e.g., direct execution, or execution after compilation, transformation, and / or interpretation), the one or more processors, UE 120, and / or base station 110 may cause the one or more processors, UE 120, and / or base station 110 to perform or direct, for example... Figure 7 The operation of process 700 and / or other processes as described herein. In some aspects, the execution instructions may include run instructions, translate instructions, compile instructions, and / or interpret instructions, etc.

[0049] In some aspects, the UE includes: means for processing information for transmission in respect of PUCCH communication in the mmWave band, or means for transmitting the information based at least in part on processing the information. Means for the UE to perform the operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of antenna 252, demodulator 254, MIMO detector 256, receiver processor 258, transmitter processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, modulator 254, controller / processor 280, or memory 282.

[0050] In some aspects, the UE includes means for applying a cyclic shift to information, wherein the cyclic shift is selected from a set of cyclic shifts at least in part based on the length of the extended sequence.

[0051] In some aspects, the UE includes: means for transmitting a first indicator identifying the UE's capabilities; means for receiving a second indicator identifying the number of adjacent resource blocks for information transmission; or means for processing the information based at least in part on the number of adjacent resource blocks for information transmission.

[0052] In some aspects, the UE includes: means for identifying a stored default value for the number of adjacent resource blocks for information transmission; or means for processing the information based at least in part on the number of adjacent resource blocks for information transmission.

[0053] although Figure 2 The boxes in the diagram are interpreted as different components, but the functions described above with respect to these boxes can be implemented using a single hardware component, software component, or combination of components. For example, the functions described with respect to transmit processor 264, receive processor 258, and / or TX MIMO processor 266 can be performed by controller / processor 280 or under the control of controller / processor 280.

[0054] As indicated above, Figure 2 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 2 The example described.

[0055] Figure 3 This is a diagram illustrating example 300 of physical channels and reference signals in a wireless network according to various aspects of this disclosure. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the downlink channel and downlink reference signal can carry information from base station 110 to UE 120, and the uplink channel and uplink reference signal can carry information from UE 120 to base station 110.

[0056] As shown in the figure, downlink channels may include examples such as the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) carrying downlink control information (DCI), the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) carrying downlink data, or the Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) carrying system information. In some aspects, PDCCH communication can be scheduled by PDSCH communication. As further shown, uplink channels may include the PUCCH carrying uplink control information (UCI), the Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) carrying uplink data, or the Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) used for initial network access, and other examples. In some aspects, UE 120 may transmit acknowledgment (ACK) or negation (NACK) feedback (e.g., ACK / NACK feedback or ACK / NACK information) in the UCI on the PUCCH and / or PUSCH.

[0057] As further illustrated, downlink reference signals may include synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), channel state information (CSI) reference signals (CSI-RS), DMRS, positioning reference signals (PRS), or phase tracking reference signals (PTRS), etc. Also as shown, uplink reference signals may include probe reference signals (SRS), DMRS, or PTRS, and other examples.

[0058] SSBs can carry information for initial network acquisition and synchronization, such as the primary synchronization signal (PSS), secondary synchronization signal (SSS), PBCH, and PBCH DMRS. SSBs are sometimes referred to as synchronization signal / PBCH (SS / PBCH) blocks. In some respects, base station 110 can transmit multiple SSBs on multiple corresponding beams, and SSBs can be used for beam selection.

[0059] CSI-RS can carry information for downlink channel estimation (e.g., downlink CSI capture), which can be used for scheduling, link adaptation, beam management, and other examples. Base station 110 can configure a set of CSI-RS for UE 120, and UE 120 can measure the configured set of CSI-RS. Based at least in part on these measurements, UE 120 can perform channel estimation and report channel estimation parameters to base station 110 (e.g., in a CSI report), such as Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), CSI-RS Resource Indicator (CRI), Layer Indicator (LI), Rank Indicator (RI), or Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), and other examples. Base station 110 can use the CSI report to select transmission parameters for downlink communication to UE 120, such as the number of transport layers (e.g., rank), precoding matrix (e.g., precoder), modulation and coding scheme (MCS), or refined downlink beam (e.g., using a beam refinement procedure or beam management procedure), and other examples.

[0060] DMRS can carry information used to estimate radio channels for demodulating associated physical channels (e.g., PDCCH, PDSCH, PBCH, PUCCH, or PUSCH). The design and mapping of DMRS can be specific to the physical channels it is used to estimate. DMRS is UE-specific, can be beamformed, can be confined to scheduled resources (e.g., not transmitted over broadband), and can be transmitted only when necessary. As shown, DMRS is used for both downlink and uplink communication.

[0061] PTRS can carry information for compensating oscillator phase noise. Typically, phase noise increases with the oscillator carrier frequency. Therefore, PTRS can be used to mitigate phase noise at high carrier frequencies (such as millimeter-wave frequencies). PTRS can be used to track the phase of the local oscillator and enables suppression of phase noise and common phase error (CPE). As shown, PTRS is used for both downlink communication (e.g., on the PDSCH) and uplink communication (e.g., on the PUSCH).

[0062] The PRS can carry information used for timing or distance measurements of the UE 120 based on signals transmitted by base station 110 to improve Observable Time Difference of Arrival (OTDOA) positioning performance. For example, the PRS can be a pseudo-random quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) sequence mapped diagonally with frequency and time offsets to avoid conflicts with reference signals and control channels (e.g., PDCCH) that vary from cell to cell. Generally, the PRS can be designed to improve the detectability of the UE 120, which may need to detect downlink signals from multiple neighboring base stations to perform OTDOA-based positioning. Accordingly, the UE 120 can receive the PRS from multiple cells (e.g., a reference cell and one or more neighboring cells) and can report the Reference Signal Time Difference (RSTD) based on the OTDOA measurements associated with the PRS received from the multiple cells. In some aspects, base station 110 can then calculate the location of the UE 120 based on the RSTD measurements reported by the UE 120.

[0063] The SRS can carry information for uplink channel estimation, which can be used for scheduling, link adaptation, precoder selection, beam management, and other examples. Base station 110 can configure one or more SRS resource sets for UE 120, and UE 120 can transmit SRS on the configured SRS resource sets. The SRS resource sets can have configured uses, such as uplink CSI capture, downlink CSI capture for reciprocity-based operation, uplink beam management, and other examples. Base station 110 can measure the SRS, can perform channel estimation at least in part based on these measurements, and can use the SRS measurements to configure communication with UE 120.

[0064] As indicated above, Figure 3 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 3 The example described.

[0065] Figure 4 An example logical architecture of a distributed RAN 400 based on various aspects of this disclosure is explained.

[0066] 5G access node 405 may include access node controller 410. Access node controller 410 may be the central unit (CU) of a distributed RAN 400. In some aspects, backhaul interfaces to the 5G core network 415 may be terminated at access node controller 410. 5G core network 415 may include 5G control plane components 420 and 5G user plane components 425 (e.g., 5G gateways), and backhaul interfaces for one or both of the 5G control plane and 5G user plane may be terminated at access node controller 410. Additionally or alternatively, backhaul interfaces to one or more neighboring access nodes 430 (e.g., another 5G access node 405 and / or LTE access node) may be terminated at access node controller 410.

[0067] Access node controller 410 may include one or more TRPs 435 and / or be able to communicate with one or more TRPs (e.g., via an F1 control (F1-C) interface and / or an F1 user (F1-U) interface). TRP 435 may be a distributed unit (DU) of the distributed RAN 400. In some aspects, TRP 435 may correspond to the above combination. Figure 1 The described base station 110. For example, different TRPs 435 may be included in different base stations 110. Additionally or alternatively, multiple TRPs 435 may be included in a single base station 110. In some aspects, base station 110 may include a CU (e.g., access node controller 410) and / or one or more DUs (e.g., one or more TRPs 435). In some cases, TRP 435 may be referred to as a cell, panel, antenna array, or array.

[0068] The TRP 435 can be connected to a single access node controller 410 or multiple access node controllers 410. In some aspects, the architecture of the distributed RAN 400 can have dynamically configured split logical functions. For example, the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer, the Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, and / or the Media Access Control (MAC) layer can be configured to terminate at the access node controller 410 or the TRP 435.

[0069] In some aspects, multiple TRP 435s can transmit communication (e.g., the same communication or different communication) in the same Transmission Time Interval (TTI) (e.g., time slot, mini-time slot, subframe, or symbol) or in different TTIs using different quasi-co-location (QCL) relationships (e.g., different spatial parameters, different Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) states, different precoding parameters, and / or different beamforming parameters). In some aspects, the TCI state can be used to indicate one or more QCL relationships. TRP 435s can be configured to serve traffic to the UE individually (e.g., using dynamic selection) or jointly (e.g., using joint transmission with one or more other TRP 435s).

[0070] As indicated above, Figure 4 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 4 The example described.

[0071] Figure 5 This is a diagram illustrating example 500 of multi-TRP communication (sometimes referred to as multi-panel communication) according to various aspects of this disclosure. For example... Figure 5 As shown, multiple TRPs 505 can communicate with the same UE 120. The TRPs 505 can correspond to the combinations described above. Figure 4 The TRP 435 described.

[0072] Multiple TRPs 505 (shown as TRP A and TRP B) can communicate with the same UE 120 in a coordinated manner (e.g., using coordinated multicast) to improve reliability and / or increase throughput. Such communication can be coordinated via an interface between TRPs 505 (e.g., a backhaul interface and / or access node controller 410). When TRPs 505 are co-located at the same base station 110 (e.g., when TRPs 505 are different antenna arrays or panels of the same base station 110), the interface can have lower latency and / or higher capacity, and when TRPs 505 are located at different base stations 110, the interface can have higher latency and / or lower capacity (compared to co-location). Different TRPs 505 can communicate with the UE 120 using different QCL relationships (e.g., different TCI states), different DMRS ports, and / or different layers (e.g., different layers in multi-layer communication).

[0073] In the first multi-TRP transmission mode (e.g., mode 1), a single PDCCH can be used to schedule downlink data communication for a single PDSCH. In this scenario, multiple TRPs 505s (e.g., TRP A and TRP B) can transmit communication to UE 120 on the same PDSCH. For example, communication can be transmitted using a single codeword having different spatial layers for different TRPs 505s (e.g., one codeword maps to a first layer set transmitted by the first TRP 505 and to a second layer set transmitted by the second TRP 505). As another example, communication can be transmitted using multiple codewords, where different codewords are transmitted by different TRPs 505s (e.g., using different layer sets). In either case, different TRPs 505s can use different QCL relationships (e.g., different TCI states) for different DMRS ports corresponding to different layers. For example, a first TRP 505 may use a first QCL relationship or a first TCI state for a first DMRS port set corresponding to a first layer set, and a second TRP 505 may use a second (different) QCL relationship or a second (different) TCI state for a second (different) DMRS port set corresponding to a second (different) layer set. In some aspects, the TCI state in the DCI (e.g., transmitted on the PDCCH, such as DCI format 1_0 or DCI format 1_1) may indicate a first QCL relationship (e.g., by indicating a first TCI state) and a second QCL relationship (e.g., by indicating a second TCI state). The first and second TCI states may be indicated using a TCI field in the DCI. Generally, in this multi-TRP transmission mode (e.g., mode 1), the TCI field may indicate a single TCI state (for a single TRP transmission) or multiple TCI states (for multi-TRP transmissions as discussed herein).

[0074] In the second multi-TRP transmission mode (e.g., mode 2), multiple PDCCHs can be used to schedule downlink data communication for multiple corresponding PDSCHs (e.g., one PDCCH per PDSCH). In this case, a first PDCCH can be scheduled to transmit a first codeword by a first TRP 505, and a second PDCCH can be scheduled to transmit a second codeword by a second TRP 505. Furthermore, a first DCI (e.g., transmitted by the first TRP 505) can be scheduled to communicate with a first PDSCH associated with a first DMRS port set having a first QCL relationship (e.g., indicated by a first TCI state) for the first TRP 505, and a second DCI (e.g., transmitted by the second TRP 505) can be scheduled to communicate with a second PDSCH associated with a second DMRS port set having a second QCL relationship (e.g., indicated by a second TCI state) for the second TRP 505. In this case, the DCI (e.g., having DCI format 1_0 or DCI format 1_1) can indicate the corresponding TCI state for the TRP 505. The TCI field of a DCI indicates the corresponding TCI state (e.g., the TCI field of a first DCI indicates a first TCI state and the TCI field of a second DCI indicates a second TCI state).

[0075] As indicated above, Figure 5 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 5 The example described.

[0076] In some communication systems, such as in unlicensed NR spectrum at higher frequency bands (e.g., mmWave bands, such as approximately 60 GHz), power spectral density (PSD) limits apply to transmission. For example, a transmitter may limit transmission to 23 dBm per MHz, with a maximum effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of 40 dBm. To fully utilize the available power of a device with high EIRP capability, the device may occupy at least 50 MHz of transmission bandwidth, allowing it to achieve up to 40 dBm within the 23 dBm / MHz PSD limit.

[0077] During PUCCH transmission, the transmitter can occupy a specific amount of available bandwidth. For example, for a 120 kHz subcarrier spacing (SCS) used for PUCCH formats 0, 1, or 4, the transmitter can occupy one resource block (RB) in the frequency domain, which may result in a total occupied bandwidth of 1.44 MHz. In contrast, for a 120 kHz SCS with PUCCH formats 2 or 3, the transmitter can occupy up to 16 RBs in the frequency domain, which may result in a total occupied bandwidth of approximately 23 MHz. Similarly, for a 960 kHz SCS with PUCCH formats 0, 1, or 4, the total occupied bandwidth may be approximately 12 MHz. Accordingly, the total occupied bandwidth may be insufficient to fully utilize the available transmission power, which may result in reduced communication performance relative to using the full available transmission power.

[0078] The aspects described herein enable PUCCH configurations to be used in the mmWave band. For example, when operating in a higher frequency band (such as the mmWave band), the UE can process PUCCH format 0 or 1 communication to use a set comprising M adjacent RBs. Additionally or alternatively, the UE can apply different cyclic shifts to different groups of RBs within the set comprising M adjacent RBs. Similarly, the UE can process PUCCH format 2 communication to use more than a threshold of RBs (e.g., up to 34 RBs instead of a maximum of 16 RBs). Similarly, the UE can process PUCCH format 3 communication to apply a block-wise pre-Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) (pre-DFT) Orthogonal Cover Code (OCC) to a set comprising M adjacent RBs. In this way, the UE can increase the total occupied bandwidth, thereby enabling the use of the full amount of available transmission power. Based at least in part on enabling the use of the full amount of available transmission power, the UE can improve communication performance.

[0079] Figure 6 This is a diagram illustrating an example 600 associated with a PUCCH configuration for the mmWave band, according to various aspects of this disclosure. (See diagram for example.) Figure 6 As shown, Example 600 includes communication between BS 110 and UE 120. In some aspects, BS 110 and UE 120 may be included in a wireless network (such as wireless network 100). BS 110 and UE 120 may communicate via a radio access link, which may include an uplink and a downlink.

[0080] like Figure 6As further illustrated in Figure A and by reference numeral 610, UE 120 can process information for PUCCH transmission. For example, UE 120 can generate PUCCH communications to convey data via PUCCH resources. In some aspects, PUCCH communications can be specific types of PUCCH communications. For example, PUCCH communications can be PUCCH format 0 communications, PUCCH format 1 communications, PUCCH format 2 communications, or PUCCH format 3 communications, etc.

[0081] In some aspects, UE 120 can process this information to use a set comprising M adjacent RBs for PUCCH transmission. For example, when transmitting PUCCH format 0 or format 1 communication in the mmWave band, UE 120 can process this information to use a set comprising M adjacent RBs for PUCCH communication. In this case, UE 120 can use a base sequence of length 12*M to process the information to use a set comprising M adjacent RBs for transmission, as shown by reference numeral 615-1. In some aspects, UE 120 can use an increased cyclic shift to process the information. For example, UE 120 can select from an increased cyclic shift amount to apply to the information, as described above, relative to transmitting PUCCH communication using the bandwidth of only a single RB.

[0082] As an example, for PUCCH communication of PUCCH format 0 described above, the UE can use cyclic shifts of 0, 3, 6, or 9 for mixed Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) ACK or NACK feedback. Furthermore, when a Scheduling Request (SR) is multiplexed into a PUCCH resource, the UE can use cyclic shifts of 1, 4, 7, or 10 to indicate a positive SR. In PUCCH communication using a set of M adjacent RBs, the UE 120 can further use additional values ​​for cyclic shifts. Additionally or alternatively, for PUCCH communication of PUCCH format 1, the UE 120 can use additional values ​​or longer sequences for cyclic shifts to increase the number of UEs that can be multiplexed onto the shared resource set.

[0083] In some respects, UE 120 can process information such that PUCCH communication occupies up to 34 RBs (e.g., at a 120kHz SCS to achieve a 50MHz transmission bandwidth). As described in 3GPP Technical Specification (TS) 38.211, Release 16, Version 16.4.0, §5.2.2, the base sequence can be defined by the following equation:

[0084]

[0085]

[0086]

[0087] in N represents the base sequence used to index n. zc This represents the length of the Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequence, which is 401 for M = 34. Here, the UE 120 can determine the cyclic shift at least in part based on the following equation:

[0088]

[0089] Where α represents the cyclic shift value, m0 represents the initial cyclic shift, and m cs This indicates a cyclic shift of the information content, m int This indicates interleaved cyclic shift, and This represents a pseudo-random sequence function. In this case, UE 120 can select a value for m0 from the set {0, 1, ..., 12M-1} to achieve multiplexing with other UEs. Similarly, UE 120 can select a value for m0 based at least in part on a fixed mapping. cs The value of SR. For example, for PUCCH format 0 with one HARQ information bit, the UE can choose 0 to represent NACK, or choose 6M to represent ACK. Similarly, for PUCCH format 0 with two HARQ information bits, UE 120 can choose 0 to represent NACK-NACK, 3M to represent NACK-ACK, 6M to represent ACK-ACK, or 9M to represent ACK-NACK. Similarly, for PUCCH format 0 with two HARQ information bits and SR, UE 120 can choose a cyclic shift similar to that of two HARQ information bits without SR to represent two HARQ information bits with negative SR, and can add the value 3M / 2 to the aforementioned cyclic shift to represent two HARQ information bits with positive SR.

[0090] In some respects, UE 120 may determine the value of M at least in part based on the received signaling. For example, the connected UE 120 may provide BS 110 with information identifying the UE's capabilities, and BS 110 may provide UE 120 with information identifying the value of M used for PUCCH communication via a DCI message. Alternatively or additionally, UE 120 may use a default fixed value for M.

[0091] In some respects, UE 120 can process information to associate different RB groups with different cyclic shifts. For example, as shown by reference numerals 615-2, UE 120 can configure the cyclic shift step size and can assign a first cyclic shift m rb0 Applying the second cyclic shift m to the first RB group in a set comprising M RB groups. rb1Apply to the second RB group in the set comprising M RB groups, or shift the third cyclic shift by m. rb2 This applies to the third RB group in the set comprising M RB groups, etc. In some respects, UE 120 may use the same base sequence of length 12 for each RB group, but at least in part, it uses different cyclic shifts based on the following equation:

[0092]

[0093] Where, for i = {1, 2, ..., M}, the value of the cyclic shift at the i-th block is m. rb =5(i–1). In this case, for example, UE 120 can use a cyclic shift of 5 between adjacent RBs.

[0094] Alternatively or alternatively, UE 120 may use a base sequence of length 24, but with different cyclic shifts for different RBs, at least in part based on the following equation:

[0095]

[0096] Where, for i = {1, 2, ..., M}, the value of the cyclic shift at the i-th block is m. rb = 11(i–1). In this way, UE120 can multiplex with up to two other UEs on two RB blocks (e.g., two HARQ communications and one SR communication), instead of a single UE communicating on a single RB block. In some aspects, UE120 may receive information indicating the length of the base sequence to be used by UE120 (e.g., 12 or 24). Additionally or alternatively, UE120 may use default static values, such as a base sequence of length 12 by default.

[0097] In some respects, UE 120 may apply OCC when processing information for PUCCH format 0 communication. For example, when UE 120 detects a threshold coverage level, it may apply OCC to the information, which improves multiplexing capacity compared to transmitting the information without applying OCC. In this case, UE 120 may determine whether to apply OCC based at least in part on measurements of coverage or indicators received from BS 110 (e.g., via Radio Resource Control (RRC) or DCI signaling). To ensure backward compatibility, in legacy mode, UE 120 may repeat one or more OFDM symbols instead of applying OCC to improve multiplexing capacity.

[0098] In some aspects, UE 120 can process information to occupy more than a threshold number of RBs. For example, for PUCCH format 2 communication and 120kHz SCS, UE 120 can use up to 34 RBs to occupy up to approximately 50MHz of transmission bandwidth and utilize the maximum allowed EIRP, as described above. In this case, UE 120 can extend the frequency domain OCC to a set including M adjacent RBs. In some aspects, UE 120 can use OCCs with a maximum length of up to 8 spanning 2 adjacent RBs. For example, UE 120 can use OCCs with a length of 1, 2, 4, or 8 spanning a set including 2 adjacent RBs to process information. In this case, UE 120 can determine whether to use OCCs across a single RB or across 2 adjacent RBs based at least in part on the setting of parameters (e.g., which may be fixed or set by received signaling). In some aspects, UE 120 can determine the index of the OCC sequence to apply that OCC sequence to the information during processing for transmission. For example, UE 120 can determine the index of an OCC sequence of length 1-4 as (n0+n idx )mod N sf , where N sf It is the expansion factor of OCC, n0 is a higher-level parameter, and n indx It is the index of the current RB in a set including M RBs. Alternatively, UE 120 may determine the index of an OCC sequence of length 8 as... Where n indx1 and n indx2 It is the index of two adjacent RBs in a set including M RBs. The OCC applied by UE 120 can be defined in specifications such as 3GPP TS 38.211 Tables 6.3.2.5A-1 and 6.3.2.5A-2, which define OCCs of length 2 and 4 respectively. Similarly, for an OCC of length 8, UE 120 can use a table or other data structure that identifies the OCC:

[0099] 0 [+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1] 1 [+1-1 +1-1 +1-1 +1-1] 2 [+1 +1-1-1+1 +1-1-1] 3 [+1-1-1+1 +1-1-1+1] 4 [+1+1+1 +1-1 -1-1-1] 5 [+1-1 +1-1-1 +1-1+1] 6 [+1 +1-1 -1-1-1+1+1]

[0100] Table 1

[0101] In some respects, when processing information, UE 120 can extend the block-by-block pre-DFT OCC to a set including M adjacent RBs. For example, for PUCCH format 3 communication and 120kHz SCS, UE 120 can use up to 32 RBs, where encoding is performed across a set including 2 adjacent RBs, and the pre-DFT OCC dimension is 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12, etc. In this case, UE 120 can use the DFT matrix method to construct the OCC sequence for processing information, where the length is N. sThe l-th code is represented as:

[0102] For n = 0, 1, ..., (N s –1)

[0103] For l = {0, 1, ..., (Ns-1)}, where C l (n) is a subset of N s The l-th code in the set of codes.

[0104] In some respects, for PUCCH Format 3 communication, UE 120 can determine the number of RBs to use, at least in part, based on whether interleaving mapping is enabled. For example, when non-interleaving mapping is enabled, UE 120 can use 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, or 16 RBs, which reduces the complexity of transform precoding by constraining the number of RBs used, compared to allowing other numbers of RBs. Conversely, when interleaving mapping is enabled, UE 120 can use 10 RBs for a single interleaving or 20 RBs for two interleavings. In some respects, UE 120 can use RB cell sets (RBs) 单元 ) to process information in combination. RB 单元 It can be defined as 16 RBs, resulting in a maximum of 2 RBs. 单元 In this scenario, if a single RB is configured... 单元 UE 120 can determine whether to pass through the first RB. 单元 RB 单元，0 To transmit information. Conversely, if two RBs are configured... 单元 Then UE 120 can cross RB 单元，0 and RB 单元，1 Transmitted information (e.g., uplink control information (UCI) bits) that covers all 32 RBs.

[0105] like Figure 6 As further shown by reference numeral 620 in the accompanying drawing, UE 120 can transmit PUCCH communications. For example, UE 120 can transmit information based at least in part on the processing of information for transmission. In this case, UE 120 can use M adjacent RBs, different cyclic shifts, or applied OCCs, etc., to transmit PUCCH formats 0, 1, 2, or 3 to ensure that approximately 50 MHz of transmission bandwidth is utilized, thereby achieving the use of the maximum available transmission power, as described above.

[0106] As indicated above, Figure 6 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 6 The example described.

[0107] Figure 7 This is a diagram illustrating, for example, an example process 700 performed by a UE according to various aspects of this disclosure. Example process 700 is an example of an operation performed by a UE (e.g., UE 120) associated with the configuration of a physical uplink control channel for millimeter-wave bands.

[0108] like Figure 7 As shown, in some aspects, process 700 may include: for PUCCH communication in the mmWave band, processing information for transmission, wherein the information is modulated using an extended sequence of a length greater than the base sequence length for PUCCH communication, or wherein a cyclic shift of a plurality of cyclic shifts of a set of adjacent resource blocks for the transmission of the information is applied to the information at least in part based on the group of resource blocks associated with the information (box 710). For example, a UE (e.g., using...) Figure 8 The transmission generation component 808 described herein can process information for transmission in a PUCCH communication in the mmWave band, wherein the information is modulated using an extended sequence of a length greater than the length of the base sequence used for PUCCH communication, or wherein a cyclic shift of a plurality of cyclic shifts of a set of adjacent resource blocks used for the transmission of the information is applied to the information at least in part based on the group of resource blocks associated with the information, as described above.

[0109] like Figure 7 As further illustrated, in some aspects, process 700 may include: transmitting the information at least in part based on processing information (box 720). For example, the UE (e.g., using...) Figure 8 The transmission component 804 described herein may transmit the information at least in part based on the processing information, as described above.

[0110] Process 700 may include additional aspects, such as any single aspect or any combination of aspects described below and / or in conjunction with one or more other processes described elsewhere herein.

[0111] In the first aspect, PUCCH communication is associated with PUCCH format 0, PUCCH format 1, PUCCH format 2, or PUCCH format 3.

[0112] In the second aspect, either alone or in combination with the first aspect, the length of the extended sequence is based at least in part on the length of the base sequence and the number of adjacent resource blocks used for transmission in the mmWave band.

[0113] In the third aspect, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first and second aspects, the length of the extended sequence is 12*M, where 12 is the base sequence length and M is the number of adjacent resource blocks used for transmission in the mmWave band.

[0114] In a fourth aspect, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first to third aspects, process 700 includes: applying a cyclic shift to the information, wherein the cyclic shift is selected from a set of cyclic shifts at least in part based on the length of the extended sequence.

[0116] In a sixth aspect, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first to fifth aspects, process 700 includes: transmitting a first indicator identifying the UE's capabilities, receiving a second indicator identifying the number of adjacent resource blocks used for information transmission, and processing the information based at least in part on the number of adjacent resource blocks used for information transmission.

[0118] In the eighth aspect, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first to seventh aspects, the cyclic shift is associated with a cyclic shift step size, wherein the cyclic shift step size is at least partially based on the type of scheduling request associated with the transmission of information.

[0119] In the ninth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to eighth aspects, process 700 includes: modulating information using a base sequence of length 12 or 24.
