Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communication technology, and specifically to a communication processing method, device and equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the traditional beam management process, the current standard mainly targets beam measurement and reporting at the Layer 1 (L1) level of the base station (gNB) configuration. Specifically, the gNB can set or enable periodic or semi-persistent (P / SP) channel state information (CSI) reporting, for example, reporting N optimal beams and their corresponding L1 reference signal receiving power (RSRP) values. In addition, the gNB can also trigger aperiodic (AP) CSI reporting to quickly capture the optimal beam for data or control channel transmission.

[0003] However, on the one hand, such frequent CSI reporting configuration undoubtedly increases the uplink reporting burden and control signaling overhead. On the other hand, if the CSI report is configured or triggered less frequently, the CSI report of the terminal (e.g., User Equipment (UE)) may be outdated, and the gNB may not be able to continuously obtain the optimal beam, which will lead to a significant degradation in performance and coverage, as well as increased delays in beam measurement reporting. Summary of the invention

[0048] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0049] The term "comprise" and any variation thereof in the specification and claims of the present application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units need not be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices. In addition, the use of "and / or" in the specification and claims to indicate at least one of the connected objects, such as A and / or B, means that A alone, B alone, and A and B exist in three cases.

[0050] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0051] Considering that the traditional CSI measurement and reporting configuration framework has large overhead and latency, the overhead and / or latency of beam management can be reduced by enhancing the UE-initiated / event-driven beam management process. By enhancing the UE-initiated / event-driven beam management approach, on the one hand, if the UE has a better and more timely understanding of the beam quality changes, the UE-initiated CSI reporting process will obtain more timely CSI reports while reducing reporting overhead. On the other hand, if the UE determines that, for example, the current beam quality has deteriorated, the UE can trigger a CSI report without the network configuring or triggering frequent reports.

[0052] The terminal initiates beam reporting events including but not limited to:

[0053] a) Event 1 (Event-1): The quality of the current beam is worse than a certain threshold (Quality of the current beam is worse than a certain threshold).

[0054] b) Event 2 (Event-2): Quality of at least one new beam, such as L1-RSRP, becomes a threshold value better than the current beam.

[0055] For event 1, when the terminal measures that the quality of the current beam is lower than the first threshold, the terminal reports the channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) or synchronization signal block (SSB) corresponding to the current beam. The identity (ID) and L1-RSRP or L1-signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR). For event 2, when the terminal measures that the quality of at least one new beam is higher than the quality of the current beam by a threshold, the terminal reports one or more CSI-RS or SSB IDs and L1-RSRP or L1-SINR.

[0056] When one or more terminals initiate beam reporting events and meet the triggering conditions at the same time, the terminal needs to report the measurement results of the corresponding one or more events to the network. How the terminal reports and, further, how the terminal determines the order and priority of multiple reports when multiple reports need to be reported at the same time are all issues that need to be solved.

[0057] See also Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides a communication processing method, which is applied to a terminal, and the specific steps include:

[0058] Step 11: Send a first channel, where the first information carried by the first channel includes at least one of the following:

[0059] second information, where the second information is used to indicate that the second channel carries one CSI report, or indicates that the second channel carries multiple CSI reports;

[0060] Optionally, the CSI report is triggered by a terminal-initiated beam reporting event, that is, the terminal measures and reports the CSI report when the terminal-initiated beam reporting event is met.

[0061] The third information is used to indicate event information corresponding to the CSI report carried by the second channel. For example, the event information may be an identifier of an event initiating a beam reporting event by the terminal, such as event 1 (Event-1), event 2 (Event-2), etc.;

[0062] Fourth information, where the fourth information is used to indicate carrier information corresponding to the CSI report carried in the second channel;

[0063] Step 12: Send the second channel.

[0064] In this embodiment, the terminal performs UE-initiated reporting (UEI reporting) by executing step 11 and step 12.

[0065] Optionally, types of the first channel and the second channel include but are not limited to at least one of a physical uplink control channel (Physical Uplink Control Channel, PUCCH) and a physical uplink shared channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUSCH).

[0066] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0067] The second channel is selected from a second channel set or a second channel list based on the payload size of the reporting information carried by the second channel, the payload size of the CSI report, the event corresponding to the CSI report, the carrier corresponding to the CSI report, the protocol or network preconfiguration.

[0068] The event corresponding to the above CSI report may be a beam reporting event initiated by the terminal.

[0069] For example, when the terminal reports a CSI report corresponding to one event, and the payload size that the first PUCCH can carry is larger than the CSI report corresponding to one event reported by the terminal, the terminal applies the first PUCCH transmission. When the terminal reports CSI reports corresponding to multiple events, and the second PUCCH can carry CSI reports corresponding to multiple events, the terminal applies the second PUCCH transmission.

[0070] For example, the protocol or network preconfigures that when the terminal reports only a CSI report corresponding to one event, the terminal applies the first PUCCH transmission. When the terminal reports CSI reports corresponding to multiple events, the terminal applies the second PUCCH transmission.

[0071] In this embodiment, the selection of the second channel is optimized to ensure that the CSI report information to be reported can be effectively carried.

[0072] Optionally, the second channel set or the second channel list may be configured on the network side.

[0073] In an implementation manner of the present application, the second channel carries multiple CSI reports, and the terminal determines the CSI report carried by the second channel according to the priority of the CSI report.

[0074] For example, the second channel carries CSI reports measured based on multiple "terminal initiated beam reporting events", and the multiple CSI reports carried by the second channel are determined by the terminal according to the priority of the CSI reports.

[0075] Optionally, each CSI report in the reporting information carried by the second channel is sorted in descending order of priority, and the bit corresponding to the CSI report with a high priority is placed after the bit corresponding to the CSI report with a low priority.

[0076] In one embodiment of the present application, when the maximum payload size carried by the second channel is smaller than the payload size of the multiple CSI reports, the terminal determines the CSI report carried by the second channel according to the priority, and discards the low-priority CSI report until the payload size of the reported information is less than or equal to the maximum payload carried by the second channel.

[0077] In one implementation manner of the present application, the priority of the CSI report is related to at least one of the following: an event corresponding to the CSI report, a carrier corresponding to the CSI report, and a first parameter configured by the CSI report.

[0078] Optionally, the first parameter of the CSI report configuration is used to determine the specific content and / or frequency of the CSI report. For example, the first parameter includes but is not limited to at least one of the following: report type, report mode, channel quality threshold for triggering report, etc.

[0079] In this embodiment, the priority of the CSI report can be dynamically adjusted by the terminal initiating a beam reporting event to ensure that important or urgent beam report information can be reported first.

[0080] In one embodiment of the present application, the priority of the CSI report is calculated using a CSI report priority calculation formula and a first factor, and the first factor is associated with at least one of the event corresponding to the CSI report, the carrier corresponding to the CSI report, and the first parameter of the CSI report configuration.

[0081] Specifically, a new first factor is introduced into the existing CSI report priority calculation formula to obtain a new CSI report priority calculation formula, and the priority of the CSI report is calculated by the new CSI report priority calculation formula.

[0082] In one embodiment of the present application, the value of the first factor is equal to N+1, where N is the event identifier corresponding to the CSI report or the carrier identifier corresponding to the CSI report or a value determined according to the first parameter, and N is an integer greater than 0.

[0083] Optionally, the event identifier corresponding to the CSI report or the carrier identifier corresponding to the CSI report or the value determined according to the first parameter may be 1, 2, 3, ...

[0084] In one embodiment of the present application, the events corresponding to the CSI report include a first event, a second event, a third event, ..., the N-1th event, the Nth event, the first factor corresponding to the CSI report corresponding to the first event is smaller than the first factor corresponding to the CSI report corresponding to the second event, the first factor corresponding to the CSI report corresponding to the second event is smaller than the first factor corresponding to the CSI report corresponding to the third event, and so on, the first factor corresponding to the CSI report corresponding to the N-1th event is smaller than the first factor corresponding to the CSI report corresponding to the Nth event.

[0085] For example, the terminal initiates beam reporting events including: the first event, the second event, the third event,..., the N-1th event, the Nth event, where the first event is identified as 1, and the corresponding first factor is 2, the second event is identified as 2, and the corresponding first factor is 3, the third event is identified as 3, and the corresponding first factor is 4,..., the Nth event is identified as N, and the corresponding first factor is N+1.

[0086] In one embodiment of the present application, the priority value of the CSI report corresponding to the first event is lower than the priority value of the CSI report corresponding to the second event, the priority value of the CSI report corresponding to the second event is lower than the priority value of the CSI report corresponding to the third event, and so on. The priority value of the CSI report corresponding to the N-1th event is lower than the priority value of the CSI report corresponding to the Nth event.

[0087] In one embodiment of the present application, the carriers corresponding to the CSI report include a first carrier, a second carrier, a third carrier, ..., an N-1th carrier, an Nth carrier, and a first factor corresponding to the CSI report corresponding to the first carrier is smaller than the first factor corresponding to the CSI report corresponding to the second carrier, and the first factor corresponding to the CSI report corresponding to the second carrier is smaller than the first factor corresponding to the CSI report corresponding to the third carrier, and so on. The first factor corresponding to the CSI report corresponding to the N-1th carrier is smaller than the first factor corresponding to the CSI report corresponding to the N carrier.

[0088] In one embodiment of the present application, the priority value of the CSI report corresponding to the first carrier is lower than the priority value of the CSI report corresponding to the second carrier, the priority value of the CSI report corresponding to the second carrier is lower than the priority value of the CSI report corresponding to the third carrier, and so on. The priority value of the CSI report corresponding to the N-1th carrier is lower than the priority value of the CSI report corresponding to the Nth carrier.

[0089] In one implementation of the present application, the priority of the CSI report satisfies at least one of the following:

[0090] 1) The priority of an aperiodic CSI report carrying L1-RSRP is higher than the priority of an aperiodic CSI report carrying CSI;

[0091] 2) The priority of aperiodic CSI reports carrying CSI is higher than the priority of semi-persistent CSI reports carried by PUSCH and carrying L1-RSRP;

[0092] 3) The priority of semi-persistent CSI reports carried by PUSCH and carrying L1-RSRP is higher than the priority of semi-persistent CSI reports carried by PUSCH and carrying CSI;

[0093] 4) The priority of the semi-persistent CSI report carried by PUSCH and carrying CSI is higher than the priority of the semi-persistent CSI report carried by PUCCH and carrying L1-RSRP;

[0094] 5) The priority of semi-persistent CSI report carried by PUCCH and carrying L1-RSRP is higher than the priority of semi-persistent CSI report carried by PUCCH and carrying CSI;

[0095] 6) The priority of semi-persistent CSI reports carrying CSI carried by PUCCH is higher than the priority of periodic CSI reports carrying L1-RSRP;

[0096] 7) The priority of a periodic CSI report carrying L1-RSRP is higher than the priority of a periodic CSI report carrying CSI.

[0097] Specifically, the priority of CSI reports: non-periodic CSI report carrying L1-RSRP (periodic CSI report carrying CSI) > non-periodic CSI report carrying CSI (non-periodic CSI for CSI) > semi-persistent CSI report carrying L1-RSRP carried by PUSCH (SP-CSI for L1-RSRP carried by PUSCH) > semi-persistent CSI report carrying CSI carried by PUSCH (SP-CSI for CSI carried by PUSCH) > semi-persistent CSI report carrying L1-RSRP carried by PUCCH (SP-CSI for L1-RSRP carried by PUCCH) > semi-persistent CSI report carrying CSI carried by PUCCH (SP-CSI for CSI carried by PUCCH) > periodic CSI report carrying L1-RSRP (periodic CSI for L1-RSRP) > periodic CSI report carrying CSI (periodic CSI for CSI).

[0098] In one embodiment of the present application, when the second information is a first value (for example, 0), the second information indicates that the second channel carries one CSI report; or, when the second information is a second value (for example, 1), the second information indicates that the second channel carries multiple CSI reports.

[0099] In one implementation, the event corresponding to the CSI report includes at least one of the following:

[0100] The first event (Event-1) is used to indicate that the quality of the current beam is lower than a certain threshold;

[0101] The second event (Event-2) is used to indicate that the quality of at least one new beam is higher than the quality of the current beam by a threshold.

[0102] In one embodiment of the present application, when the third information is a third value (for example, 10), the third information indicates that the CSI report carried by the second channel corresponds to a first event; or, when the third information is a fourth value (for example, 01), the third information indicates that the CSI report carried by the second channel corresponds to a second event; or, when the third information is a fifth value (for example, 11), the third information indicates that a CSI report carried by the second channel corresponds to a first event, and another CSI report carried corresponds to a second event.

[0103] In this embodiment, the terminal indicates through the first channel that it will send one or more CSI reports to the network side through the second channel, and then the terminal sends the second channel. In this way, the terminal can send the measured CSI report to the network side when the event of measuring and reporting the CSI report is met without the need for network side configuration, which can save signaling overhead, improve the timeliness of the CSI report, and enable the network side to obtain the optimal beam.

[0104] See also Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides a communication processing method, which is applied to a network side device, and the specific steps include:

[0105] Step 21: receiving a first channel, where the first information carried by the first channel includes at least one of the following: second information, where the second information is used to indicate that the second channel carries one CSI report, or indicates that the second channel carries multiple CSI reports;

[0106] third information, where the third information is used to indicate event information corresponding to the CSI report carried by the second channel;

[0107] Fourth information, where the fourth information is used to indicate carrier information corresponding to the CSI report carried in the second channel;

[0108] Step 22: Receive the second channel.

[0109] In an implementation manner of the present application, the second channel carries multiple CSI reports, and the multiple CSI reports are determined according to the priority of the CSI reports.

[0110] In one implementation manner of the present application, the priority of the CSI report is related to at least one of the following: an event corresponding to the CSI report, a carrier corresponding to the CSI report, and a first parameter configured by the CSI report.

[0111] In this embodiment, the network side receives the first channel, and the first channel indicates that the terminal will send one or more CSI reports to the network side through the second channel. The network side receives the second channel. In this way, without the need for network side configuration, the terminal can send the measured CSI report to the network side when the event of measuring and reporting the CSI report is met, which can save signaling overhead, improve the timeliness of the CSI report, and enable the network side to obtain the optimal beam.

[0112] The implementation methods of the present application are introduced below in conjunction with Examples 1 to 3.

[0113] Embodiment 1: Design of the first channel

[0114] Example 1:

[0115] The first information carried by the first channel includes second information, and the second information indicates that the second channel includes a CSI report corresponding to a "terminal initiated beam reporting event", or includes multiple CSI reports corresponding to "terminal initiated beam reporting event".

[0116] For example, the second information is 1-bit information. When the value of the second information is "0", it indicates that the second channel includes only one CSI report corresponding to a "terminal initiated beam reporting event". When the value of the second information is "1", it indicates that the second channel includes multiple CSI reports corresponding to "terminal initiated beam reporting events". At this time, the payload sizes of different "terminal initiated beam reporting events" reporting information are fixed and the same.

[0117] Optionally, the event initiating a beam reporting by the terminal includes at least one of the following:

[0118] a) First event: The quality of the current beam is lower than a certain threshold.

[0119] b) Second event: at least one new beam quality, such as L1-RSRP, is higher than the quality of the current beam by a threshold.

[0120] Example 2:

[0121] The third information in the first information carried by the first channel indicates which CSI reports corresponding to the "terminal initiated beam reporting event" are included in the second channel.

[0122] For example, the third information is multi-bits information. When the value of the third information is "10", it indicates that the second channel only includes the CSI report corresponding to the first event. When the value of the third information is "01", it indicates that the second channel only includes the CSI report corresponding to the second event. When the value of the third information is "11", it indicates that the second channel includes both the CSI report corresponding to the first event and the CSI report corresponding to the second event.

[0123] Embodiment 2: About the design of the second channel.

[0124] The network configures a second channel set or a second channel list, which includes a plurality of second channels.

[0125] a) Method 1: Determine which second channel to use based on the payload size of the reporting information that can be carried by the second channel.

[0126] Different second channels can carry different payload size ranges of reporting information. For example, the payload size of reporting information that can be carried by the first PUCCH is smaller than the payload size of reporting information that can be carried by the second PUCCH resource. When the terminal only reports a CSI report of a beam reporting event initiated by one terminal, the payload size that can be carried by the first PUCCH is smaller than the signaling payload size reported by the terminal, and the terminal applies the first PUCCH transmission. When the terminal reports CSI reports of beam reporting events initiated by multiple terminals, the payload size that can be carried by the second PUCCH is larger than the signaling payload size reported by the carrying terminal, and the terminal applies the second PUCCH transmission.

[0127] b) Mode 2: The network configuration or protocol predefines that when the terminal reports one CSI report corresponding to a "terminal initiated beam reporting event", the terminal applies the first PUCCH transmission. When the terminal reports multiple CSI reports corresponding to "terminal initiated beam reporting events", the terminal applies the second PUCCH transmission.

[0128] Embodiment 3: The priority of CSI reporting is related to the event of the terminal initiating beam reporting.

[0129] When the terminal reports multiple CSI reports on a second channel (hereinafter referred to as UEI's CSI), it is necessary to arrange the multiple CSI reports in order from high to low priority according to the priority of the UEI's CSI report, and place the low-priority CSI report after the bit corresponding to the high-priority CSI report. When the maximum payload size carried by the second channel is smaller than the payload size of the terminal's reported information, the terminal needs to discard the low-priority CSI report according to the priority of the CSI report until the payload size of the reported information does not exceed the carrying capacity of the second channel.
