Description

Information processing method, communication device and storage medium Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to communication technology, and in particular to an information processing method, communication equipment and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Typically, a network device (such as a base station) configures transmission control information for a terminal device (such as a mobile phone) through a PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel). The control information may be DCI (Downlink Control Information). The indication field in the DCI indicates the transmission configuration indication state (TCI State) of the transmission. The transmission configuration indication state may be used to indicate the beam used for data transmission between the terminal device and the network device.

[0003] During the process of conceiving and implementing this application, the inventors discovered that there are at least the following problems: in a multi-transmission receiving node (multi-TRP, multi-Transmission / Reception Point) scenario, DCI control information can be sent from two different TRPs, and when it reaches the terminal device, there may be out-of-order transmission. For example, the sending time of DCI1 sent by the first network device is before the sending time of DCI2 sent by the second network device, but the PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) or PUSCH (Physical Uplink Share Channel) of the terminal device confirms the sending time of DCI1 after the sending time of the confirmation information of DCI2. The sending time of the confirmation information of DCI2 is earlier. Therefore, the terminal device uses the information of the last confirmed receipt of DCI1 to determine the TCI status. The TCI status obtained in this way may not be the latest, resulting in inaccurate beam indicating the status, resulting in low accuracy of the transmission configuration indication status used by the transmission channel.

[0004] The preceding description is intended to provide general background information and does not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0079] It should be understood that although the terms "first," "second," "third," etc. may be used herein to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are used solely to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the term "if," as used herein, may be interpreted as "upon," "when," or "in response to a determination."

When implementing the step, those skilled in the art may execute 902 first and then 901, etc., but these should all be within the scope of protection of this application.

[0083] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0084] In the subsequent description, the use of suffixes such as "module", "component" or "unit" to represent elements is only for the purpose of facilitating the description of the present application and has no specific meaning. Therefore, "module", "component" or "unit" can be used interchangeably.

[0085] In this application, a communication device may be a terminal device or a network device (such as a base station), and the specific definition needs to be determined based on the context. In addition, the terminal device can be implemented in various forms. For example, the terminal devices described in this application may include mobile terminals such as mobile phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, PDAs, portable media players (PMPs), navigation devices, wearable devices, smart bracelets, pedometers, etc., as well as fixed terminals such as digital TVs and desktop computers.

[0086] The subsequent description will take a mobile terminal as an example of a terminal device. Those skilled in the art will understand that, in addition to components specifically used for mobile purposes, the configuration according to the embodiments of the present application can also be applied to fixed-type terminals.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a mobile terminal for implementing various embodiments of the present application. The mobile terminal 100 may include components such as an RF (Radio Frequency) unit 101, a WiFi module 102, an audio output unit 103, an A / V (Audio / Video) input unit 104, a sensor 105, a display unit 106, a user input unit 107, an interface unit 108, a memory 109, a processor 110, and a power supply 111. Those skilled in the art will understand that the mobile terminal structure shown in Figure 1 does not limit the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal may include more or fewer components than shown, or may combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0088] The following is a detailed introduction to the various components of the mobile terminal in conjunction with Figure 1:

[0089] The RF unit 101 can be used to send and receive information or receive signals during calls. Specifically, it receives downlink information from the base station and transmits it to the processor 110 for processing. It also transmits uplink data to the base station. Typically, the RF unit 101 includes, but is not limited to, an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low-noise amplifier, a duplexer, and more. Furthermore, the RF unit 101 can communicate with the network and other devices via wireless communication. The above-mentioned wireless communications can use any communication standard or protocol, including but not limited to GSM (Global System of Mobile communication), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), CDMA2000 (Code Division Multiple Access 2000), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access), FDD-LTE (Frequency Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution), TDD-LTE (Time Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution) and 5G, etc.

[0090] WiFi is a short-range wireless transmission technology. A mobile terminal, through WiFi module 102, enables users to send and receive emails, browse web pages, and access streaming media, providing wireless broadband Internet access. Although FIG1 illustrates WiFi module 102, it is understood that it is not a required component of the mobile terminal and can be omitted as needed without altering the essence of the invention.

[0091] The audio output unit 103 can convert audio data received by the RF unit 101 or the WiFi module 102 or stored in the memory 109 into an audio signal and output it as sound when the mobile terminal 100 is in a call signal reception mode, a talk mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, or the like. Furthermore, the audio output unit 103 can also provide audio output related to a specific function performed by the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.). The audio output unit 103 may include a speaker, a buzzer, or the like.

[0092] The A / V input unit 104 is used to receive audio or video signals. The A / V input unit 104 may include a graphics processing unit (GPU) 1041 and a microphone 1042. The GPU 1041 processes image data of still images or videos captured by an image capture device (e.g., a camera) in video capture mode or image capture mode. The processed image frames may be displayed on the display unit 106. The image frames processed by the GPU 1041 may be stored in the memory 109 (or other storage medium) or transmitted via the RF unit 101 or the WiFi module 102. The microphone 1042 may receive sound (audio data) in operating modes such as a phone call mode, a recording mode, and a voice recognition mode, and may process such sound into audio data. In the phone call mode, the processed audio (voice) data may be converted into a format that can be transmitted to a mobile communication base station via the RF unit 101. The microphone 1042 may implement various types of noise cancellation (or suppression) algorithms to eliminate (or suppress) noise or interference generated during the reception and transmission of audio signals.

[0093] The mobile terminal 100 also includes at least one sensor 105, such as a light sensor, a motion sensor, and other sensors. Optionally, the light sensor includes an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor. Optionally, the ambient light sensor can adjust the brightness of the display panel 1061 according to the brightness of the ambient light, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display panel 1061 and / or the backlight when the mobile terminal 100 is moved to the ear. As a type of motion sensor, the accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in all directions (generally three axes), and can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary. It can be used for applications that recognize the posture of the mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer, tapping), etc.; as for other sensors that can be configured in the mobile phone, such as fingerprint sensors, pressure sensors, iris sensors, molecular sensors, gyroscopes, barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, infrared sensors, etc., they will not be described here.

[0094] The display unit 106 is used to display information input by the user or information provided to the user. The display unit 106 may include a display panel 1061, which may be configured in the form of a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), or the like.

[0095] The user input unit 107 can be used to receive input digital or character information, and generate key signal input related to user settings and function control of the mobile terminal. Optionally, the user input unit 107 may include a touch panel 1071 and other input devices 1072. The touch panel 1071, also known as a touch screen, can collect user touch operations on or near it (such as operations performed by the user using a finger, stylus, or any other suitable object or accessory on or near the touch panel 1071) and drive the corresponding connection device according to a pre-set program. The touch panel 1071 may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. Optionally, the touch detection device detects the user's touch direction and detects the signal generated by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device and converts it into touch point coordinates, which are then sent to the processor 110. It can also receive commands sent by the processor 110 and execute them. In addition, the touch panel 1071 can be implemented using various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave. In addition to the touch panel 1071, the user input unit 107 may further include other input devices 1072. Optionally, the other input devices 1072 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control keys, power keys, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, a joystick, etc., and the specifics are not limited here.

[0096] Optionally, the touch panel 1071 may overlay the display panel 1061. When the touch panel 1071 detects a touch operation on or near it, it transmits the information to the processor 110 to determine the type of touch event. The processor 110 then provides a corresponding visual output on the display panel 1061 based on the type of touch event. Although in FIG1 , the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 are shown as two separate components to implement the input and output functions of the mobile terminal, in some embodiments, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 may be integrated to implement the input and output functions of the mobile terminal, which is not limited to this specific embodiment.

[0098] Memory 109 can be used to store software programs and various data. Memory 109 may primarily include a program storage area and a data storage area. Optionally, the program storage area may store an operating system and at least one application required for a function (such as a sound playback function or an image playback function); the data storage area may store data generated based on the use of the mobile phone (such as audio data, a phone book, etc.). Furthermore, memory 109 may include high-speed random access memory and non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage device.

[0099] Processor 110 is the control center of the mobile terminal, connecting all components of the mobile terminal using various interfaces and circuits. By running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in memory 109 and accessing data stored in memory 109, it executes various functions of the mobile terminal and processes data, thereby providing overall monitoring of the mobile terminal. Processor 110 may include one or more processing units; preferably, processor 110 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor. Optionally, the application processor primarily handles the operating system, user interface, and application programs, while the modem processor primarily handles wireless communications. It is understood that the modem processor may not be integrated into processor 110.

[0100] The mobile terminal 100 may also include a power supply 111 (such as a battery) for supplying power to various components. Preferably, the power supply 111 may be logically connected to the processor 110 through a power management system, thereby managing functions such as charging, discharging, and power consumption through the power management system.

[0101] Although not shown in FIG. 1 , the mobile terminal 100 may further include a Bluetooth module, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

Optionally, MME 2031 is a control node that processes signaling between UE 201 and EPC 203, providing bearer and connection management. HSS 2032 provides registers for managing functions such as the Home Location Register (not shown) and stores user-specific information such as service features and data rates. All user data can be sent through SGW2034, PGW2035 can provide IP address allocation and other functions for UE 201, PCRF2036 is the policy and charging control policy decision point for service data flow and IP bearer resources, and it selects and provides available policy and charging control decisions for the policy and charging execution function unit (not shown in the figure).

[0107] The IP service 204 may include the Internet, an intranet, an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), or other IP services.

[0108] Although the above introduction takes the LTE system as an example, those skilled in the art should know that this application is not only applicable to the LTE system, but can also be applied to other wireless communication systems, such as GSM, CDMA2000, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, 5G and future new network systems (such as 6G), etc., which are not limited here.

[0113] The Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) is used to transmit downlink control information (DCI) from network equipment to terminals, including scheduling allocation for PDSCH reception and scheduling authorization for PUSCH transmission, as well as power control, time slot format indication, and resource preemption indication information.

[0114] The physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) mainly carries information such as ACK (Acknowledgement) / NACK (Negative Acknowledgement), scheduling request (SR), and channel state information (CSI).

[0115] The Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) is used to carry uplink service information or uplink signaling data from terminal devices. Sharing means that the same physical channel can be used by multiple users in a time-sharing manner, or the channel has a short duration.

[0116] Field: used to store string information of a certain length.

[0117] The Transmission Configuration Indication state (TCI state) is used to provide Quasi Co-Location (QCL) information for downlink channel or reference signal reception and / or provide uplink spatial domain filter information for uplink channel or reference signal transmission.

[0118] The Transmission Configuration Indication field (TCI field) is used to indicate the transmission configuration indication status.

[0119] Downlink control information (DCI) is information content carried by PDCCH, which can be sent by network equipment to terminal equipment through the PDCCH channel and can carry the TCI field.

[0120] Control Resource Set (CORESET) is a set of physical resources, which can be a set of parameters for monitoring / decoding PDCCH / DCI.

[0121] Radio Resource Control (RRC), also known as high-layer signaling, can be used as a signaling message for configuring CORESET, etc.

[0122] In related technologies, network devices can transmit DCI information to terminal devices via PDCCH to indicate TCI status. However, in multi-transmission / reception point (multi-TRP) scenarios, the sending and receiving of control information may be out of order.

[0123] FIG3 is an example diagram of an application scenario of multiple transmission / reception nodes based on multiple DCIs, shown in an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG3 , the network device may include multiple TRPs (Transmission / Reception Points), such as TRP1 and TRP2.

[0124] Optionally, TRPs can be distinguished by configuring the Radio Resource Control (RRC) parameter: coresetPool Index (control resource set pool index) to group CORESETs according to the coresetPool Index. For example, DCI1 corresponding to TRP1 can be sent on PDCCH1 indicated by a CORESET with a coresetPool Index value of 0, and DCI2 corresponding to TRP2 can be sent on PDCCH2 indicated by a CORESET with a coresetPool Index value of 1. That is, if a group of CORESETs are configured with the same coresetPool Index value, such as 0 or 1, the DCI transmitted by the PDCCH indicated in the group of CORESETs all come from the TRP related to the coresetPool Index value.

[0125] Optionally, TRP1 and TRP2 may send a PDCCH to the UE for transmitting DCI for communication scheduling. TRP1 is a first network device associated with a coresetPool Index value of 0, and TRP2 is a second network device associated with a coresetPool Index value of 1.

[0126] In order to facilitate understanding of the phenomenon of out-of-order transmission of multiple transmission receiving nodes, Figure 4 is an example diagram of out-of-order transmission of multiple transmission receiving nodes based on multiple DCIs, shown in an exemplary embodiment. Referring to Figure 4, the last symbol of PDCCH1 received by the terminal device UE from the first network device associated with the coresetPool Index value of 0 is t1, and the last symbol of PDCCH2 received by the terminal device UE from the second network device associated with the coresetPool Index value of 1 is t2. The DCI1 corresponding to PDCCH1 schedules PDSCH1, and its HARQ-ACK is fed back through PUCCH1 or PUSCH1 in the t3 time slot; the DCI2 corresponding to PDCCH2 schedules PDSCH2, and its HARQ-ACK is fed back through PUCCH2 or PUSCH2 in the t4 time slot. Optionally, t1 is earlier than t2, and the t3 time slot is later than the t4 time slot. Generally, after receiving the PDCCH, the UE returns the HARQ-ACK of the scheduled PDSCH as confirmation information of the correct reception of the DCI. The TCI state contained in the corresponding DCI is used starting from the first time slot or the subsequent time slot after the beam application time parameter (i.e., parameter beamAppTime) symbols after the PUCCH or PUSCH that sends the confirmation information. In Figure 4, after receiving PDCCH1, after the last character of the corresponding PUCCH1 or PUSCH1 transmission and after the beam application time parameter (i.e., parameter beamAppTime) characters, the transmission between the UE and the first network device and / or the second network device uses the TCI state contained in DCI1; after receiving PDCCH2, after the last character of the corresponding PUCCH2 or PUSCH2 transmission and after the beam application time parameter (i.e., beamAppTime parameter) characters, the transmission between the UE and the first network device and / or the second network device uses the TCI state contained in DCI2. However, the actual end reception / monitoring time of PDCCH1 is earlier than that of PDCCH2. This results in the TCI status carried by DCI2 corresponding to PDCCH2, which ends PDCCH reception / monitoring later, being overwritten by the TCI status carried by DCI1 corresponding to PDCCH1, which ends PDCCH reception / monitoring earlier. The TCI status finally used is not the TCI status carried by the latest DCI sent, resulting in a phenomenon of out-of-order transmission. In particular, in this article, the PDCCH that ends reception / monitoring later in time is called the latest PDCCH or the last sent PDCCH. Correspondingly, the DCI transmitted in the latest or last sent PDCCH is called the latest DCI, and the TCI status indicated by the latest DCI is called the latest TCI status. The occurrence of the out-of-order transmission phenomenon will cause the TCI to be not the latest and the accuracy is not high.

[0127] In order to solve the above technical problems, in the solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal device UE can receive DCI sent by multiple network devices, the DCI may include an indication field, and the indication field may specifically be a TCI (Transmission Configuration Indication) field. Optionally, the DCI1 corresponding to the PDCCH1 sent by the first network device associated with the coresetPool Index value of 0 may include a first indication field, and the DCI2 corresponding to the PDCCH2 sent by the second network device associated with the coresetPool Index value of 1 may include a second indication field. The target indication state can be determined from the first indication field and the second indication field to solve the problem of out-of-order transmission of multiple transmission receiving nodes.

Optionally, when the at least one first indication state and / or at least one second indication state associated with the target indication information are both uplink and downlink joint modes (e.g. unifiedtci-StateType is configured as jointULDL), the number of indication states included in the at least one first indication state may be 1, and / or the number of indication states included in the at least one second indication state may be 1.

[0152] Optionally, when at least one first indication state associated with the target indication information is an uplink and downlink joint mode, and / or at least one second indication state is an uplink and downlink separation mode, the number of indication states contained in the at least one first indication state can be 1, and / or the number of indication states contained in the at least one second indication state can be at most 2.

For an application example of the at least one first indication state and / or at least one second indication state, reference may be made to the application example diagram shown in FIG6 .

[0156] Referring to Figure 6, which is an example diagram of target indication information shown in the first exemplary embodiment of the present application, the TCI field of the DCI2 corresponding to the most recently transmitted PDCCH2 is used as the target indication information, and the application time starts from the first time slot corresponding to the beam application time parameter (i.e., parameter beamAppTime) symbols after the last symbol is transmitted by the PUCCH2 or PUSCH2 associated with the coresetPool Index value of 1.

[0190] Optionally, when the first indication information of the first control information is used as the target indication information, the TCI state corresponding to the second indication information of the second control information is not used.

[0191] In this embodiment, the indication information corresponding to the control information with the first identification information being 1 is the target indication information. When the first identification information is 1, it can be determined that the indication information in the first control information is the target indication information, thereby achieving accurate acquisition of the target indication information.

[0204] Step 903: Determine the application time of the target indication state according to the first sending time and / or the second sending time.

[0205] Optionally, the terminal device can send messages or information to the network device via the PUCCH or PUSCH, such as ACK (Acknowledgement) / NACK (Negative Acknowledgement) corresponding to the PDSCH for control information scheduling. The ACK / NACK serves as confirmation information on whether the DCI was correctly received and is fed back to the network device by the terminal. When sending a message via the PUCCH or PUSCH, the transmission time of the last symbol can be used to determine the application time of the target indication state.

[0217] A third method for determining the application time: in response to the sending time of the first control information being earlier than the sending time of the second control information, the application time is determined according to the first sending time.

[0218] In an embodiment of the present application, the first sending time corresponding to the first control information received earlier can be used as the basis for determining the application time, and the application time can be determined based on the sending time corresponding to the earlier control information. This can make the application time consistent with the earlier control information, thereby achieving accurate determination of the application time.

[0219] A fourth method for determining the application time: in response to the sending time of the first control information being later than the sending time of the second control information, the application time is determined according to the second sending time.

[0220] In an embodiment of the present application, the second sending time corresponding to the second control information received earlier can be used as the basis for determining the application time.

[0227] Optionally, the application time of the target indication state may include the first time slot corresponding to the first sending time and / or the second sending time after the beam application time parameter (i.e., parameter beamAppTime) symbols and / or any time slot after the first time slot.

[0228] FIG. 10 is an application example of a target indication state shown in the second exemplary embodiment of the present application.

[0229] Referring to Figure 10, the TCI state carried by the DCI2 corresponding to the most recently transmitted PDCCH2 is used as the target indication state, and the target indication state includes at least one first indication state and / or at least one second indication state. At least one first indication state can be applied starting from the first time slot corresponding to the beam application time parameter (i.e., parameter beamAppTime) symbols after the first transmission time and / or any time slot after the first time slot, and at least one second indication state can be applied starting from the first time slot corresponding to the beam application time parameter (i.e., parameter beamAppTime) symbols after the second transmission time and / or any time slot after the first time slot.

[0230] In an embodiment of the present application, when the target indication state is determined based on the second control information, the application time of at least one first indication state used for sending and receiving the physical channel or reference signal associated with the coresetPool Index value of 0 is determined based on the first sending time, and the application time of at least one second indication state used for sending and receiving the physical channel or reference signal associated with the coresetPool Index value of 1 is determined based on the second sending time. The target indication state associated with the coresetPool Index value is consistent with the application time, thereby achieving accurate determination of the application time.

[0231] Optionally, the target indication state is used to provide quasi-colocation (QCL) information for downlink channel or reference signal reception, and / or provide uplink spatial domain filtering information for uplink channel or reference signal transmission.

[0232] In an embodiment of the present application, the quasi-co-location relationship information provided by the target indication state is used to perform downlink channel / reference signal reception and / or provide uplink spatial domain filtering information for uplink channel / reference signal transmission, thereby realizing the determination of uplink and downlink transmission information using the target indication state, and ensuring the stability of information transmission in the uplink and downlink paths.
