[0118] Figure 2 is an interactive schematic diagram of a capability indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, the embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a signal processing method, which includes:

[0119] Step S2101: The terminal sends the first message to the network device.

[0120] In some embodiments, the first message is used to indicate that the terminal has shared reception capability. Alternatively, it can be understood as the first message being used to indicate that the terminal supports the use of shared reception capability.

[0121] In some embodiments, shared reception capability is used to receive multiple component carriers. Alternatively, shared reception capability can be understood as indicating that the terminal supports simultaneous reception of multiple component carriers. Optionally, the terminal is configured with a shared receiver that supports simultaneous reception of multiple component carriers. Alternatively, the shared receiver can be understood as supporting reception of multiple component carriers through carrier aggregation.

[0122] In some embodiments, the component carrier refers to a certain spectrum resource. Optionally, the component carrier includes a certain bandwidth and center frequency. The component carrier is used for communication data, control signaling, or other communication resources, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0123] In some embodiments, the first message includes one bit. If the bit is 1, it indicates that the first message indicates that the terminal has shared reception capability. In another embodiment, if the bit is 0, it indicates that the first message indicates that the terminal does not have shared reception capability.

[0124] In some embodiments, the shared reception capability is based on a per-band indication, or a per-terminal indication, or a band combination indication.

[0125] For example, if the shared reception capability is based on a per-band indication, it means that each band corresponds to a shared reception capability, indicating whether the band supports shared receiver reception. For instance, if there are band1, band2, band3, and band4, and band1, band3, and band4 have shared reception capabilities, it means that the terminal has shared reception capabilities on band1, band3, and band4, but not on band2.

[0126] For example, if the shared reception capability is based on per-terminal indication, it means that each terminal corresponds to one shared reception capability. If a terminal has this shared reception capability, it means that all bands corresponding to the terminal support the shared reception capability. For example, if there are terminals A, B, and C, and terminals A and B have shared reception capabilities, it means that terminals A and B have shared reception capabilities on all bands, while terminal C does not have shared reception capabilities on any band.

[0127] For example, if the shared reception capability is based on a band combination indication, it means that all bands included in the band combination support shared reception capability. For instance, if there are band combination 1, band combination 2, and band combination 3, and band combination 1 includes band 1 and band 2, band combination 2 includes band 3 and band 4, and band combination 3 includes band 5, band 6, and band 7, and band combination 1 and band combination 2 have shared reception capability, then it means that the terminal has shared reception capability on band 1, band 2, band 3, and band 4, but not on band 5, band 6, and band 7.

[0128] For example, the band combination can be a single-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation, a single-band non-contiguous dual-link, a single-band non-contiguous LTE-NR dual-link, etc. Alternatively, it can be a band combination of inter-band carrier aggregation, a band combination of dual-link, or a band combination of LTE-NR dual-link, etc.

[0129] In some embodiments, the first message is an uplink message, such as a UCI (Uplink Control Information) message, a sharing-receiver message, or other messages, which are not limited in this disclosure.

[0130] In some embodiments, step S2101 can also be understood as the terminal sending a first message, and the recipient of the first message is not limited.

[0131] In step S2102, the network device receives the first message sent by the terminal.

[0132] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the network device receives the first message sent by the terminal, it can determine that the terminal has the shared receiving capability, and the network device can then instruct the terminal whether to use the shared receiving capability.

[0133] In some embodiments, step S2102 can also be understood as the network device receiving the first message, and the sending entity of the first message is not limited.

[0134] In step S2103, the network device determines that the first condition is met and sends the second message to the terminal.

[0135] In some embodiments, the second message is used to indicate whether the terminal uses shared reception capability. Optionally, the second message includes 1 bit, where a value of 1 indicates that the terminal uses shared reception capability, and a value of 0 indicates that the terminal does not use shared reception capability. Alternatively, a value of 0 indicates that the terminal uses shared reception capability, and a value of 1 indicates that the terminal does not use shared reception capability.

[0136] In some embodiments, the first condition refers to whether the network device allows the terminal to use the shared receiving capability.

[0137] In some embodiments, the first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0138] (1) The interference from neighboring cells is less than the interference threshold.

[0139] In some embodiments, the interference threshold is determined by the communication protocol, configured by the network device, or configured in other ways; this disclosure does not limit the specific implementation.

[0140] In some embodiments, interference from neighboring cells is represented by SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio), and the corresponding interference threshold is also represented by SINR. Alternatively, interference from neighboring cells is represented by RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power), and the corresponding interference threshold is represented by RSRP. Alternatively, interference from neighboring cells is represented by RSRQ, and the corresponding interference threshold is represented by RSRQ (Reference Signal Receiving Quality).

[0141] (2) The adjacent channel resources are not occupied.

[0142] In some embodiments, the adjacent channel resource includes at least one of time-domain resources and frequency-domain resources. In some embodiments, the adjacent channel resource includes two states: occupied and unoccupied.

[0143] In some embodiments, the status of adjacent channel resources includes a predetermined number of bits. If the predetermined number of bits is a first value, it indicates that the adjacent channel resource is unoccupied; if the predetermined number of bits is a second value, it indicates that the adjacent channel resource is occupied. For example, if the predetermined number of bits is 1 bit and the bit is 1, it indicates that the adjacent channel resource is occupied; if the bit is 0, it indicates that the adjacent channel resource is unoccupied. Alternatively, if the bit is 0, it indicates that the adjacent channel resource is occupied; if the bit is 1, it indicates that the adjacent channel resource is unoccupied.

[0144] (3) The maximum adjacent channel interference level supported by the terminal is less than the interference level threshold.

[0145] In some embodiments, the interference level threshold is configured by the network device, agreed upon by the communication protocol, or set in other ways; this disclosure does not limit this.

[0146] In some embodiments, the terminal sends a third message to the network device, the third message indicating the maximum adjacent channel interference level supported by the terminal. In this embodiment, after the terminal reports its maximum adjacent channel interference level to the network device, the network device can determine whether to allow the terminal to use shared reception capabilities based on the maximum adjacent channel interference level.

[0147] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if the maximum adjacent channel interference level supported by the terminal is less than the interference level threshold, it means that a shared receiver is required to ensure that multiple component carriers can be received through the shared receiver.

[0148] It should be noted that (3) in this embodiment can be combined with (1). If the maximum adjacent channel interference level supported by the terminal is less than the interference level threshold, the interference threshold in (1) will also be reduced, ensuring that the shared interference capability can be used after the interference threshold is reduced, thereby ensuring the reliability of terminal communication. In some embodiments, the maximum adjacent channel interference level supported by the terminal is positively correlated with the interference threshold, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0149] (4) The maximum number of component carriers supported by the terminal is greater than the number of component carriers to be transmitted.

[0150] In some embodiments, the terminal sends a fourth message to the network device, the fourth message indicating the maximum number of component carriers supported by the shared reception capability.

[0151] In some embodiments, the maximum number of component carriers supported by the terminal refers to the number of component carriers supported by the shared receiver of the terminal.

[0152] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if the maximum number of class carriers supported by the terminal is greater than the number of component carriers to be transmitted, it means that the component carriers to be transmitted by the terminal can be transmitted simultaneously, and therefore the terminal can use the shared receiving capability.

[0153] It should be noted that this embodiment of the disclosure uses the example of a network device determining whether to send a second message based on a first condition. In another embodiment, the network device may use other methods to determine whether to send a second message, and this embodiment of the disclosure does not limit this method.

[0154] It should be noted that the first conditions in the embodiments of this disclosure can be combined with each other to form a new condition, and the embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this.

[0155] In step S2104, the terminal receives the second message sent by the network device.

[0156] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the second message is used to indicate whether the network device uses the shared receiving capability. After the terminal receives the second message sent by the network device, it can determine whether to use the shared receiving capability based on the second message.

[0157] It should be noted that this embodiment is described using steps S2103-S2104 as an example. In another embodiment, the terminal may also determine whether to use the shared receiving capability based on the instructions of the network device.

[0158] In some embodiments, the terminal receives a fifth message sent by the network device, the fifth message being used to indicate the level of adjacent channel interference. Optionally, the level of adjacent channel interference is used to indicate the intensity of interference in adjacent channels.

[0159] In some embodiments, the terminal determines whether to use shared reception capability based on the level of adjacent channel interference. In this embodiment, the level of adjacent channel interference is used to indicate the degree of interference in the terminal's adjacent channels, and the level of adjacent channel interference can be used to determine whether to use shared reception capability.

[0160] In some embodiments, the adjacent channel interference level includes the adjacent channel interference power, and the adjacent channel interference power is less than or equal to a power threshold, determining the use of shared reception capability.

[0161] In some embodiments, the level of adjacent channel interference includes adjacent channel interference power. If the adjacent channel interference power is less than a power threshold, it is determined that the shared reception capability is not used.

[0162] In step S2105, the terminal receives multiple carrier components based on the shared receiving capability.

[0163] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if the terminal determines to use the shared receiving capability, the terminal can simultaneously receive multiple component carriers through the shared receiver corresponding to the shared receiving capability.

[0164] The signal processing method involved in the embodiments of this disclosure may include at least one of steps S2101 to S2105.

[0197] Figure 6 is a flowchart illustrating a capability indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 6, the present disclosure relates to a capability indication method, which includes:

[0198] Step S6101: The terminal reports the shared receiver capability indication information to the base station.

[0199] In step S6102, the terminal receives the base station's instruction information allowing the sharing of the receiver.

[0200] In some embodiments, the terminal reports shared receiver capability indication information to the base station. In one embodiment, a sharing-receiver is used to indicate that the UE has the capability to share a receiver. This capability can be indicated per band or per UE. In a band combination scenario, it can also be indicated per band combination. The main scenarios include at least one of the following:

[0201] 1. Single-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation, dual-link, or LTE-NR dual-link, i.e., intra-band non-contiguous CA (Carrier Aggregation) / DC (Dual Connectivity) / EN-DC (EUTRA-NR Dual Connectivity, LTE and 5G dual connectivity), etc.

[0202] 2. Band combination (inter-band carrier aggregation / dual link / LTE-NR dual link, i.e., inter-band CA / DC / EN-DC, etc.)

[0203] In some embodiments, the receiving base station may indicate whether a sharing receiver is allowed, such as whether the corresponding IE sharingreceiver (an indication) is set to 1 (1 indicates permission, 0 indicates disallowment). After receiving the permission information, the terminal can use the sharing receiver to receive signals. During testing, the corresponding sharing receiver specifications should be met.

[0204] Correspondingly, the network device receives the shared receiver capability indication information reported by the terminal, determines whether to allow the terminal to share the receiver, and if so, instructs the terminal to allow sharing the receiver.

[0205] In some embodiments, the determination of whether to allow the terminal to share the receiver can be based on the resource usage of adjacent channels, such as the base station understanding the resource occupancy and interference of adjacent channels through inter-base station communication. If the adjacent channel resources are not occupied, or the interference from adjacent cells is low, then it is determined that sharing is allowed. In another embodiment, the determination of whether to allow sharing can also be based on whether more component carrier information will be configured for the terminal.

[0206] In some embodiments, the terminal reports shared receiver capability indication information to the base station and receives indication information from the base station allowing shared receivers.

[0207] In another embodiment, in addition to reporting shared receiver capability indication information to the base station, the terminal also indicates the level of adjacent channel interference that it can tolerate, such as low or high.

[0208] The base station determines whether to allow terminals to share the receiver based on the tolerance level of interference, as well as the occupancy and interference of neighboring cells.

[0209] In some embodiments, the terminal reports shared receiver capability indication information to the base station and receives indication information from the base station allowing shared receivers.

[0210] In another embodiment, in addition to reporting shared receiver capability indication information to the base station, the terminal also reports the maximum number of component carriers N that can be supported when supporting shared receiver capability.

[0211] On the base station side: The base station can determine the number of component carriers configured and scheduled by the terminal based on N. Terminals are only allowed to share the receiver if the number of component carriers configured by the terminal is not greater than N.

[0212] In another embodiment, the base station indicates to the terminal the interference situation of adjacent channels, such as the interference power level of adjacent channels.

[0213] The terminal determines whether to use a shared receiver architecture to receive signals based on the interference situation of adjacent channels indicated by the base station. This is if the interference power level is less than the terminal's preset value.

[0214] In the embodiments disclosed herein, some or all of the steps and their optional implementations may be arbitrarily combined with some or all of the steps in other embodiments, or may be arbitrarily combined with the optional implementations in other embodiments.

For example, the processor is a hardware circuit implemented using an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a programmable logic device (PLD), such as an FPGA. In a reconfigurable hardware circuit, the process of the processor loading a configuration document and configuring the hardware circuit can be understood as the process of the processor loading instructions to implement the functions of some or all of the above units or modules. Furthermore, it can also be a hardware circuit designed for artificial intelligence, which can be understood as an ASIC, such as a Neural Network Processing Unit (NPU), a Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), or a Deep Learning Processing Unit (DPU).
