Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to a transmission method and device in a wireless communication system, and in particular to a scheme and device related to TCI (Transmission Configuration Indicator) in a wireless communication system. Background Art
[0002] Multi-antenna technology is a key technology in 3GPP (3rd Generation Partner Project) LTE (Long-Term Evolution) system and NR (New Radio) system; multiple antennas are configured at communication nodes, such as base stations or UE (User Equipment) to obtain additional spatial freedom. Multiple antennas use beamforming to form beams pointing in a specific direction to improve communication quality. When multiple antennas belong to different TRPs (Transmitter Receiver Points) / panels, additional diversity gain can be obtained by using the spatial differences between different TRPs / panels. Since the beams formed by multiple antennas are relatively narrow, the communicating parties need to align the beams to provide communication quality. Starting from NRR (Release) 15, 3GPP introduced the concept of TCI (Transmission Configuration Indication) to assist in beam alignment between transmission nodes. In R17, the unified TCI architecture was introduced to unify the uplink and downlink beam processing, improve performance and reduce latency.
[0003] In December 2023, the WI (Work Item) of NR MIMOPhase 5 was passed at the RAN (Radio Access Network) #102 plenary meeting. The RAN1 working group will at least enhance UL power control (PC) in the Rel-19 stage to support this UL / DL asymmetric deployment scenario; this includes configuring path loss offset for the UE to accurately calculate the path loss associated with the UE and the TRP / panel; and supporting two closed-loop PC adjustment states of SRS (Sounding Resource Signal) for DL CSI (Channel State Information) acquisition of gNB and UL multi-TRP transmission. Summary of the invention
[0004] Compared with 5G systems, 5G-Advanced and future 6G systems will adopt more new technologies and support more complex application scenarios. In order to further optimize the performance of both uplink and downlink. Among them, deploying a heterogeneous network so that the UE can receive downlink (DL) transmissions from a gNB, but send uplink (UL) transmissions to the gNB or non-co-located TRP / panel is an important enhancement solution to improve uplink throughput and reduce energy consumption. The applicant found through research that in this scenario, the existing TCI-based beam management solution needs to be enhanced.
[0005] In view of the above problems, the present application discloses a solution. It should be noted that, in the description of the above problems, a heterogeneous network is used as an example, and the present application is also applicable to other scenarios to achieve similar technical effects of heterogeneous networks; further, although the original intention of the present application is for heterogeneous networks with asymmetric uplink and downlink, the present application can also be applied to other non-heterogeneous network scenarios; further, the use of a unified design scheme for different scenarios (including but not limited to heterogeneous networks with asymmetric uplink and downlink and traditional uplink and downlink symmetric networks, etc.) can also help reduce hardware complexity and cost.

[0284] Embodiment 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a wireless protocol architecture of a user plane and a control plane according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 shown.
[0285] Embodiment 3 shows a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a wireless protocol architecture of a user plane and a control plane according to the present application, as shown in the attached Figure 3 shown. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment of a radio protocol architecture for a user plane 350 and a control plane 300, Figure 3The radio protocol architecture of the control plane 300 between a first communication node device (UE, gNB or RSU in V2X) and a second communication node device (gNB, UE or RSU in V2X), or between two UEs is shown with three layers: Layer 1, Layer 2 and Layer 3. Layer 1 (L1 layer) is the lowest layer and implements various PHY (physical layer) signal processing functions. The L1 layer will be referred to as PHY301 in this article. Layer 2 (L2 layer) 305 is above PHY301 and is responsible for the link between the first communication node device and the second communication node device, or between two UEs. The L2 layer 305 includes a MAC (Medium Access Control) sublayer 302, an RLC (Radio Link Control) sublayer 303, and a PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) sublayer 304, which terminate at the second communication node device. The PDCP sublayer 304 provides multiplexing between different radio bearers and logical channels. The PDCP sublayer 304 also provides security by encrypting data packets, and provides support for inter-zone mobility of the first communication node device between the second communication node device. The RLC sublayer 303 provides segmentation and reassembly of upper layer data packets, retransmission of lost data packets, and reordering of data packets to compensate for out-of-order reception due to HARQ. The MAC sublayer 302 provides multiplexing between logical and transport channels. The MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for allocating various radio resources (e.g., resource blocks) in a cell between the first communication node devices. The MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for HARQ operations. The RRC (Radio Resource Control) sublayer 306 in layer 3 (L3 layer) in the control plane 300 is responsible for obtaining radio resources (i.e., radio bearers) and configuring the lower layer using RRC signaling between the second communication node device and the first communication node device. The radio protocol architecture of the user plane 350 includes layer 1 (L1 layer) and layer 2 (L2 layer). The radio protocol architecture used for the first communication node device and the second communication node device in the user plane 350 is substantially the same as the corresponding layers and sublayers in the control plane 300 for the physical layer 351, the PDCP sublayer 354 in the L2 layer 355, the RLC sublayer 353 in the L2 layer 355, and the MAC sublayer 352 in the L2 layer 355, but the PDCP sublayer 354 also provides header compression for upper layer data packets to reduce radio transmission overhead.The L2 layer 355 in the user plane 350 also includes a SDAP (Service Data Adaptation Protocol) sublayer 356, which is responsible for mapping between QoS flows and data radio bearers (DRBs) to support the diversity of services. Although not shown in the figure, the first communication node device may have several upper layers above the L2 layer 355, including a network layer (e.g., an IP layer) terminated at the P-GW on the network side and an application layer terminated at the other end of the connection (e.g., a remote UE, a server, etc.).

[0298] Example 4
[0299] Embodiment 4 illustrates a schematic diagram of a first communication device and a second communication device according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 Attached Figure 4 is a block diagram of a first communication device 410 and a second communication device 450 communicating with each other in an access network.
[0300] The first communication device 410 includes a controller / processor 475 , a memory 476 , a receive processor 470 , a transmit processor 416 , a multi-antenna receive processor 472 , a multi-antenna transmit processor 471 , a transmitter / receiver 418 and an antenna 420 .
[0301] The second communication device 450 includes a controller / processor 459, a memory 460, a data source 467, a transmit processor 468, a receive processor 456, a multi-antenna transmit processor 457, a multi-antenna receive processor 458, a transmitter / receiver 454 and an antenna 452.
[0302] In transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, at the first communication device 410, upper layer data packets from the core network are provided to the controller / processor 475. The controller / processor 475 implements the functionality of the L2 layer. In the DL, the controller / processor 475 provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, multiplexing between logical and transport channels, and allocation of radio resources to the second communication device 450 based on various priority metrics. The controller / processor 475 is also responsible for HARQ operations, retransmission of lost packets, and signaling to the second communication device 450. The transmit processor 416 and the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 implement various signal processing functions for the L1 layer (i.e., the physical layer). The transmit processor 416 implements coding and interleaving to facilitate forward error correction (FEC) at the second communication device 450, as well as constellation mapping based on various modulation schemes (e.g., binary phase shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), M-phase shift keying (M-PSK), M-quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM)). The multi-antenna transmit processor 471 performs digital spatial precoding, including codebook-based precoding and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming processing on the coded and modulated symbols to generate one or more parallel streams. The transmit processor 416 then maps each parallel stream to a subcarrier, multiplexes the modulated symbols with a reference signal (e.g., a pilot) in the time domain and / or frequency domain, and then uses an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) to generate a physical channel carrying a time-domain multi-carrier symbol stream. The multi-antenna transmit processor 471 then performs a transmit analog precoding / beamforming operation on the time-domain multi-carrier symbol stream. Each transmitter 418 converts the baseband multi-carrier symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 into a radio frequency stream, and then provides it to a different antenna 420.
[0303] In the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, at the second communication device 450, each receiver 454 receives a signal through its corresponding antenna 452. Each receiver 454 recovers the information modulated onto the RF carrier and converts the RF stream into a baseband multi-carrier symbol stream and provides it to the receiving processor 456. The receiving processor 456 and the multi-antenna receiving processor 458 implement various signal processing functions of the L1 layer. The multi-antenna receiving processor 458 performs a receiving analog precoding / beamforming operation on the baseband multi-carrier symbol stream from the receiver 454. The receiving processor 456 uses a fast Fourier transform (FFT) to convert the baseband multi-carrier symbol stream after the receiving analog precoding / beamforming operation from the time domain to the frequency domain. In the frequency domain, the physical layer data signal and the reference signal are demultiplexed by the receiving processor 456, wherein the reference signal will be used for channel estimation, and the data signal is recovered after multi-antenna detection in the multi-antenna receiving processor 458 to any parallel stream destined for the second communication device 450. The symbols on each parallel stream are demodulated and recovered in the receiving processor 456, and soft decisions are generated. The receiving processor 456 then decodes and deinterleaves the soft decisions to recover the upper layer data and control signals transmitted by the first communication device 410 on the physical channel. The upper layer data and control signals are then provided to the controller / processor 459. The controller / processor 459 implements the functions of the L2 layer. The controller / processor 459 may be associated with a memory 460 storing program codes and data. The memory 460 may be referred to as a computer-readable medium. In DL (DownLink, downlink), the controller / processor 459 provides multiplexing, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing between the transmission and logical channels to recover the upper layer data packets from the core network. The upper layer data packets are then provided to all protocol layers above the L2 layer. Various control signals may also be provided to L3 for L3 processing. The controller / processor 459 is also responsible for error detection using confirmation (ACK) and / or negative confirmation (NACK) protocols to support HARQ operations.
[0304] In the transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, at the second communication device 450, a data source 467 is used to provide upper layer data packets to the controller / processor 459. The data source 467 represents all protocol layers above the L2 layer. Similar to the transmission function at the first communication device 410 described in DL, the controller / processor 459 implements header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between logical and transport channels based on the radio resource allocation of the first communication device 410, and implements L2 layer functions for the user plane and the control plane. The controller / processor 459 is also responsible for HARQ operations, retransmission of lost packets, and signaling to the first communication device 410. The transmit processor 468 performs modulation mapping and channel coding processing, and the multi-antenna transmit processor 457 performs digital multi-antenna spatial precoding, including codebook-based precoding and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming processing. Then, the transmit processor 468 modulates the generated parallel stream into a multi-carrier / single-carrier symbol stream, which is then provided to different antennas 452 via the transmitter 454 after analog precoding / beamforming operations in the multi-antenna transmit processor 457. Each transmitter 454 first converts the baseband symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmit processor 457 into a radio frequency symbol stream, and then provides it to the antenna 452.
[0305] In the transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, the function at the first communication device 410 is similar to the reception function at the second communication device 450 described in the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450. Each receiver 418 receives a radio frequency signal through its corresponding antenna 420, converts the received radio frequency signal into a baseband signal, and provides the baseband signal to the multi-antenna reception processor 472 and the reception processor 470. The reception processor 470 and the multi-antenna reception processor 472 jointly implement the functions of the L1 layer. The controller / processor 475 implements the L2 layer functions. The controller / processor 475 can be associated with a memory 476 that stores program codes and data. The memory 476 can be referred to as a computer-readable medium. The controller / processor 475 provides demultiplexing between transmission and logical channels, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, control signal processing to recover the upper layer data packets from the second communication device 450. The upper layer data packets from the controller / processor 475 can be provided to the core network. The controller / processor 475 is also responsible for error detection using an ACK and / or NACK protocol to support HARQ operations.
