Abstract
Description
Technical Field The present disclosure relates, in general, to multi radio access technology (RAT) spectrum sharing (MRSS). Aspects relate to allocation of physical control channel resources in MRSS network cells. Background Due to the scarcity of spectrum, migrating from one generation of mobile communication network to another is not straightforward, especially when the requirement to avoid compromising the experience of existing users is taken into account. For example, a wide range of frequency bands are targeted by the sixth generation of mobile communication networks (6G), including low-band / mid-band as well as the mmWave spectrum band. While new spectrum bands may be allocated for 6G in future, the existing frequency ranges utilized by 5G (new radio, NR) remain important for 6G coverage and capacity. For example, no new low-band spectrum is expected to become available in key 6G markets by the planned implementation date of 2030, and so the ability to leverage existing 5G spectrum will play a pivotal role in the successful and cost efficient migration to 6G Radio Access Technology (RAT). In order to enable such a smooth transition between network technologies without compromising network performance, Multi-RAT Spectrum Sharing (MRSS) is widely considered to be a suitable solution. MRSS enables sharing of the same frequency bands across multiple radio access technologies (RATs). Summary An objective of the present disclosure is to provide an MRSS implementation that enables efficient usage of PDCCH resources by way of a virtual Control Resource Set (CORESET) for 6G UEs. Specifically, non-contiguous control channel elements (CCEs) are mapped to a virtual CORESET that comprises a set of logically contiguous CCEs that are indicated to and utilised by a (e.g., 6G) UE.

An interface between CU and DU may be referred to as an Fl interface in NR. In the split RAN architecture, node operations may be carried out, at least partly, in the central / centralized unit, CU, (e.g. server, host or node) operationally coupled to the DU, (e.g. a radio head / node).

Certain acronyms and / or abbreviations may be used herein, such as for example: CCE Control Channel Element CORESET Control Resource Set DCI Downlink Control Information DMRS Demodulation Reference Signal DSS Dynamic Spectrum Sharing DU Distributed Unit MRSS Multi-RAT Spectrum Sharing PDCCH Physical Downlink Control Channel PDSCH Physical Downlink Control Channel PRB Physical Resource Block REG Resource Element Group RNTI Radio Network Temporary Identifier SIB System Information Block UE User Equipment Typically, when deploying a new RAT, operators can implement MRSS on low frequency bands in order to maximise coverage and then supplement these low frequency bands with capacity via, e.g., midbands (which could also use MRSS). In the low frequency 5 bands, the bandwidths available are typically small (eg., 5 MHz) and user equipment (UE) can continue to expect pipelined processing such that physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) information is received before that of, e.g., physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). Accordingly, there is a limitation on the capacity available for PDCCH if spectral efficiency targets are to be kept 10 (or improved) in 6G. MRSS deployments typically employ the same radio unit for NR and 6G. However their baseband processing can be within the same distributed unit (DU) or in different distributed units. There are multiple scenarios where different distributed units may be 15 required for the deployment of MRSS, such as, e.g., a NR distributed unit is short on capacity, or a NR and 6G distributed units are provided by different vendors, or NR DU is located at a cell site and 6G is centralized or in the cloud. In the case of separate DUs for NR and 6G, an interface between the DUs can be used for the exchange of information. This can be, e.g., an Xn interface for semi-static configuration or information. In the context of migration from NR to 6G for example, to enable maximum spectral efficiency for 6G, MRSS cells should minimize the additional PDCCH resources required on top of the already reserved NR PDCCH resources. NR CORESETs are defined on the basis of a number of symbols and Control Channel Elements (CCE). A CCE is a set of 6 Resource Element Groups (REGs) which, e g., consist of 6 consecutive resource blocks (RBs) in one orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) symbol. A CCE is the minimum amount of physical resources which can be used to transmit PDCCH information, i.e., Downlink Control Information (DCI). An aggregation level comprises a parameter to specify how many CCEs can be grouped together to form a PDCCH candidate, i.e., the number of CCEs that will be used for a DCI transmission. When allocating CCEs for the transmission of a DCI, the CCEs can be interleaved or non-interleaved. If interleaving is employed, 3GPP specifies a pattern for the UE to determine the location of the CCEs. However, CCEs allocated for a UE may no longer be in consecutive order when interleaving is employed. The interleaving process tends to spread the UE’s CCE resources first in the time domain (across all symbols of the CORESET) and then across the frequency domain in order to maximize diversity gains. As NR PDCCH typically applies interleaving, this leads to scenario with a variable amount of unused CCE resources between the CCEs employed by a NR scheduler. Furthermore, the CCEs used per slot in NR will vary depending on the UEs scheduled in UL and DL, their Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) and their radio conditions which will dictate the number of CCEs each one of them requires. In order to minimize development efforts and impact to NR performance, it is likely that NR would perform its PDCCH scheduling first. However, due to the use of interleaving this means that some unused CCEs will be spread across the CORESET. Accordingly, a 6G PDCCH scheduler would have to find 6G UEs for which the remaining CCEs can be used according to an interleaving pattern and the number of CCEs required for the UEs required aggregation level. However, this is a complex task and can lead to PDCCH blocking. Furthermore, even a combined PDCCH scheduler for NR and 6G would not solve this issue and would still run into the same challenges described above. A lower complexity solution would be to allocate different search spaces for NR and 6G, such that they are not on the symbol of the slot. However, this is also not the most efficient solution even with NR and 6G scheduler coordination. For example, if a NR Search Space is located on symbols 0 and 1 and a 6G Search Space is located in symbol 2 of the slot, the 6G scheduler could inform the 5G scheduler when it is not employing its PDCCH resources in a slot so that the NR scheduler can employ 12 symbol PDSCH instead of 11 symbol PDSCH. However, if the 6G scheduler has to schedule a single CCE, then the remainder of the symbol 2 is a wasted resource. As noted above, MRSS should minimize overheads such that legacy NR users see minimal impact from deployment of MRSS cells and 6G users can obtain similar or better spectral efficiency than NR users on MRSS cells. According to an example, there is provided a more optimal way to enable PDCCH allocation for MRSS cells that is also future proof for when device penetration of 6G surpasses that of NR. In an implementation, efficient usage of PDCCH resources in MRSS cells is based on the establishment of a virtual CORESET for 6G UEs. The virtual CORESET is composed of non-contiguous CCEs which are indicated to the UE. In an example, a virtual CORESET comprises a set of logically contiguous CORESET resources that is composed on the basis of at least a set of non-contiguous resources. As such, reference herein to a virtual CORESET corresponds to a set of logically contiguous CORESET resources. Figure 1 is a schematic representation of signaling between a UE and MRSS cells, according to an example. In the example of figure 1, a 6G UE 100 is in communication with a 6G cell / node 103. At 101, the NR MRSS cell / Node 105 provides the 6G MRSS Cell / Node 103 with information on at least its configured CORESETs and Search Spaces. The NR node could additionally provide information on the PDCCH load. The 6G MRSS Cell / Node 103 uses this information to determine the optimal configuration of the 6G CORESETs and Search Spaces, for example the amount of 6G CCEs which could be overlapped and the amount of 6G CCEs that should not be overlapped (201). At 301, based on the 6G node 103 determination, the 6G node 103 may provide the NR node 105 with information on PDCCH resources it needs reserved for 6G transmission, and the information may be transmitted on, for example, SIB1. The reservation of resources requested for 6G could also include pre-configured resources for a signal comprising information for the time and frequency location of CORESET resource configuration information. Pre-configured resources may be configured to be within the NRPDDCH region. In other examples, the pre-configured resources may be arranged to be within the same symbols as the Search Space or in the preceding or following (subsequent) symbols, but in the same time slot. As a consequence, channel estimation for a signal on the pre-configured resources could be based on the PDCCH DMRS of the time slot. At 401 the UE 100 can be made aware of the location and transmission type (e.g., periodic, aperiodic, both) of the pre-configured resources via, for example, SIB 1. In an alternative example the pre-configured resources for the determination of a virtual CORESET could be provided via other System Information messages or via information relating to an RRC connected state. At 501 UE 100 is configured with an initial 6G CORESET (e g. a CORESET0), initial Search Spaces (which it may have acquired from the 6G SIB1) and is aware of how and when to search for the a PDCCH on a virtual CORESET. At 601 the NR node 105 proceeds with known scheduling processes and determines the CCE resources it will be employing for a slot x. At 701 the NR node 105 shares the CCE resources it plans to use with the 6G node 103. At 801 the 6G node 103 determines if it needs to employ the virtual CORESET for slot x. In an example, the pre-configured signals on the pre-configured resources may not be transmitted every time a 6G UE needs to be scheduled and instead may be transmitted periodically or aperiodically based on 6G scheduler decisions. The scheduler decisions to transmit the pre-configured signals (i.e., to employ the virtual CORESET) can, in an example, be based on: - the possibility to schedule the UEs without the need to employ a virtual CORESET. This could be possible if, for example, CCEs used by NR are localized in an area and there are enough CCEs outside this area to schedule all the required 6G UEs. In this case an aperiodic approach could be employed for example. Depending on the number of UEs the scheduler plans to schedule in UL / DL in the next slot, contiguous resources may be sufficient to meet the required needs. Accordingly, in an example, the scheduler can save the resources associated with a transmission of the indication of the virtual CORESET configuration and save processing at the node 105 and UE 100 by using a contiguous CORESET rather than the virtual CORESET. - for periods of low (NR and 6G) traffic load where a more semi-static approach can be employed with periodic transmission of long periodicity. - for cases where a UE does not detect the pre-configured resources to determine the virtual CORESET the UE can employ the 6G defined CORESET in association with its configured Search Spaces. In an example, a block error rate (BLER) associated with pre-configured resources is <1%, which is aligned with a current targeted PDCCH BLER (of 1 %). Accordingly, if the UE cannot decode the pre-configured resources indication when it is transmitted by the scheduler, the situation would end up being largely the same as one in which there is a PDCCH transmission with errors which the UE cannot recover (so that it ends up requiring a retransmission). At 901 6G node 103 determines the need to employ the virtual CORESET and proceeds to schedule UEs based on the virtual CORESET. At 1001 the amount of resources needed for the pre-configured signal indicating the CCEs available for composition of the virtual CORESET is dependent on the NR CORESET / Search Space and 6G CORESET / Search Space overlap size in at least frequency domain. This can be semi-statically informed to the UE 100 via, e.g., SIB1. For example, a virtual CORESET can be formed by CCEs that are shared between 5G and 6G (see, e.g., 201, 301 of figure 1) and not used by 5G (see, e.g., 701 of figure 1). In cells with small bandwidths, e.g., 10 MHz, the number of CCEs that can be configured for NR are typically small so the amount of information to be indicated by the pre configured resources is also reduced, thereby reducing the overhead imposed by this preconfigured signal. At 1101 and 1201 the UE 100 is relayed information on how to determine the virtual CORESET and the UE 100 uses this information to determine the virtual CORESET (1301) which is used instead of the other configured 6G CORESETs for blind decoding the UE configured Search Spaces (1401). Figure 2 is a schematic representation of a virtual CORESET composition, according to an example. In the example of figure 2, out of available CCEs 211 in a 6G CORESET, some (213, shown diagonal hatching) may be employed by NR. The unused CCE’s 215, which comprise any of the available CCEs 211 that are not employed by NR, are indicated to the UE 100 via a bitmap 216 in the pre-configured resources. The UE 100 can employ this bitmap to compose a virtual CORESET 217 of contiguous CCE resources. The UE 100 and network use the virtual CORESET 217 for scheduling CCEs (CCE numbering and interleaving for example). Note that, given the mapping of the physical (215) to virtual CORESET (217) is based on potentially variable gaps between CCEs, the interleaving gains for 6G may, in some instances, be smaller than those of NR. The 6G scheduler may lose some control of the spacing between the interleaved CCEs. Figure 3 is a schematic representation of CCEs for an MRSS cell, according to an example. In the example of figure 3, some CCEs of NR and 6G Search Space are overlapping or shared from network point of view. In the example of figure 3 there are 7 such shared CCEs, hence the information on available CCEs could be provided with a bitmap of 7 bits, where each bit indicates the availability of a CCE (similarly to the bitmap illustrated in figure 2). In an example, this information can be transmitted to the UE 100 over pre-configured resources which could span, e.g., 4 PRBs (providing this provides enough coding rate for reliable decoding at the UE 100). In cells with large bandwidths, e.g., 100 MHz, this framework could be leveraged to reduce overheads when NR UEs are few and there is a high penetration of 6G UEs. This would allow for overhead reduction. In cells with large bandwidth the amount of information to be provided via the pre-configured resources could be larger due to the higher number of CCEs available. To minimize the overhead of the pre-configured resources in this case, each bit in the bitmap could indicate the usage of more than one CCE, i.e., the granularity of each bit in the bitmap can, in an example, correspond to the availability of, e.g., 2 or 4 CCE’s. This allows for a tradeoff between the imposed overhead of the framework and the achievable gains. Note as also mentioned previously the overlap region between NR and 6G Search Spaces could be reduced to decrease the bitmap size. Information used to relay available CCEs to a UE for determination of a virtual CORESET could be using a bitmap as described above, or alternatively, by specifying a starting position of a gap and a length for example (depending on the number of gaps in the overlapped region and their size). Figure 4 is a flowchart of a process, performed by a UE, according to an example. In block 400 UE 100 is configured with a 6G CORESET and Search Spaces, as described with reference to 501 of figure 1 for example. That is, in block 400, UE 100 is configured with an initial 6G CORESET (e.g. a CORESET0), initial Search Spaces (which it may have acquired from the 6G SIB1) and is aware of how and when the resources to determine a virtual CORESET will be transmitted. In block 403, UE 100 receives a configuration of pre-configured resources for indication of available CCEs for determination of a virtual CORESET. With reference to 401 of figure 1, for example, UE 100 is therefore made aware of the location and transmission type (e.g., periodic, aperiodic, both) of the pre-configured resources via, for example, SIB1. That is, UE 100 receives, from a network node 103, information comprising a time and frequency location of control resource set, CORESET, resource configuration information, wherein the CORESET resource configuration information comprises an indication of at least one set a of non-contiguous resources of a CORESET of a first radio access technology, wherein the at least one set of non-contiguous resources of the CORESET of the first radio access technology is interleaved with at least one set of noncontiguous resources of a CORESET of a second radio access technology. In block 405, it is determined whether the UE 100 has successfully decoded information from the pre-configured resources. If not, in block 409, UE 100 monitors the search space using the existing 6G CORESET and can perform blind decoding for DCIs as normal. That is, UE 100 can employ a 6G defined CORESET in association with its configured Search Spaces. Otherwise, in block 407, UE 100 can employ the decoded information for the determination of a virtual CORESET, which is used instead of the other configured 6G CORESETs for blind decoding the UE configured Search Spaces (block 413). Accordingly, better sharing of PDCCH resources between NR and 6G MRSS cells is provided, whilst enabling lower overheads for MRSS, with the potential to maintain NR spectral efficiency and boost 6G spectral efficiency. According to an example, there is better re-use of NR resources when NR device penetration is very low in comparison to 6G device penetration. Furthermore, complexity is minimized at both a UE and node (e.g., gNB) side. According to an example, an MRSS cell serving 6G and NR UEs can be configured with an overlapping Search Space. The CORESET may be different for 6G and NR UEs, but there can be some overlapping area to leverage efficiencies in scheduling PDCCH. As described above, a NR MRSS cell (105) can inform a 6G MRSS cell (103) of its CORESET and Search Space configurations per slot. For deployment scenarios where NR and 6G are deployed on separate DU’s, this information can be semi-statically exchanged via, e.g., an Xn interface since it is not expected to dynamically vary. A NR scheduler can perform PDCCH scheduling for NR UEs, and can inform a 6G scheduler about CCEs it plans to schedule for NR UEs in a slot x. In an example, a 6G PDCCH scheduler can determine a virtual CORESET based on the 6G Search Space and the unused NR CCES within the 6G Search Space. The virtual CORESET can be composed by aggregating all the available CCEs for 6G UEs in a contiguous manner, whereby to for a set of logically contiguous CORESET resources. A 6G PDCCH scheduler can perform PDCCH allocations for slot x for 6G UEs based on this virtual CORESET, including interleaving if required, and can inform 6GUEs about the resources employed in the virtual CORESET via a preconfigured set of resources. The preconfigured set of resources could be provided via, e.g., 6G SIB1. A 6G SIB1 may not employ the virtual CORESET and, given its transmission pattern is well established, resources for a 6G SIB1 could be agreed to be semi-statically reserved between NR and 6G cells (e.g., via Xn for sperate DU scenario). In an example, the set of resources could be in the same slot as scheduling information for the slot (slot x) or in a previous slot (slot x-n, with n=l for example). If the set of resources is in the same slot as the scheduling information, it could be allocated above, or below CORESET or outside symbols employed for the CORESET. The preconfigured resources used to indicate to the UE 100 information to compose a virtual CORESET can impose an additional overhead, but it can be more than compensated for by the gains of sharing CCEs between NR and 6G. In an example, UE 100 receives a pre-configuration of resources via which it can determine how to compose a virtual CORESET within the CORESET it is configured with. These preconfigured resources can be obtained via SIB1 for example. In an example, the pre-configuration includes the location of the resources in time and frequency with respect to a slot(s) where the UE may be scheduled. UE 100 can decode the pre-configured resources to determine the CCEs which it should employ to determine the virtual CORESET. If UE 100 successfully decodes the pre-configured resources with an indication of available CCEs, UE 100 can employ a virtual CORESET for blind decodes within its configured Search Spaces. If the UE 100 cannot decode the preconfigured resources with the indication of available CCE’s, the UE 100 considers all CCEs as available for 6G. 6G PDCCH DMRS mapping can be based on the 6G Virtual CORESET and the 6G UE could employ NR and 6G DMRS PDCCH for channel estimation.

The machine comprises a storage 509 that can be used to store data 511 representing, e.g., configuration information, resources, virtual CORESET information, pre-configuration resources and so on. In an example, the instructions 507, executable by the processor 503, can cause the machine 500 (e.g., a UE 100) to receive, from a network node (e.g., node 103), information comprising a time and frequency location of control resource set, CORESET, resource configuration information, wherein the CORESET resource configuration information comprises an indication of at least one set of non-contiguous resources of a CORESET of a first radio access technology, wherein the at least one set of noncontiguous resources of the CORESET of the first radio access technology is interleaved with at least one set of non-contiguous resources of a CORESET of a second radio access technology, and compose, on the basis of the CORESET resource configuration information, a set of logically contiguous CORESET resources on the basis of at least the set of non-contiguous resources of the CORESET of the first radio access technology.
