Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular to a method, an apparatus, a terminal, a device, and a medium for indicating and determining transmission power. [Background technology]

[0002] In 5G New Radio (NR) technology, beam-based transmission and reception must be used to ensure coverage, especially when the communication frequency band is in Frequency Range 2 (FR2), due to fast attenuation of high-frequency channels.

[0003] In the related technology, when a terminal transmits a beam through an antenna panel, there is a maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limit in order to prevent harm to the human body.

[0043] In order to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure, some nouns related to the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below.

[0044] MPE: Established by governing bodies (such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)) and the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)) and used to limit radio frequency emissions from wireless devices. MPE limits are typically applied to wireless devices operating at frequencies above 6 GHz, and because frequencies above 6 GHz interact with the surface of human skin, MPE limits are a regulatory measure of exposure based on area. For example, for a millimeter wave system, MPE is 1 mW / cm 2 The power density received by the human body is limited to 1mW / cm 2 In addition, for millimeter wave systems, the MPE is 20 mW / cm 2 is limited to.

[0045] Maximum permitted transmit power: This is the maximum transmit power of the terminal that satisfies the MPE limit.

[0046] In some embodiments, the terminal may determine the maximum permitted transmit power based on the distance between the terminal's antenna panel and a body part of the user (e.g., a hand). For example, for the same MPE limit, the closer the distance, the smaller the maximum permitted transmit power. In other embodiments, for the same MPE limit, the maximum permitted transmit power is a constant value.

[0047] Maximum transmission power of the terminal: This is the maximum transmission power of the terminal when the MPE limit is not taken into account.

[0048] In some embodiments, the maximum transmit power of the terminal is the maximum transmit power configured by the network equipment, while in other embodiments, the maximum transmit power of the terminal is the maximum transmit power that the capabilities of the terminal can support.

[0079] Incidentally, steps 301 and 302 and the optional steps may be arbitrarily combined.

[0080] Figure 4 is a flow chart of a method for indicating and determining transmission power according to an exemplary embodiment. The method can be jointly performed by a network device and a terminal. In the embodiment as shown in Figure 4, the terminal transmits a random access message via an uplink beam, and in response, the terminal transmits first indication information to a network device via a PUSCH during a random access process, for indicating the maximum allowed transmission power of at least one of the uplink beams. Referring to Figure 4, the method includes the following steps:

[0081] In step 401, a terminal receives random access resource configuration information.

[0082] The random access resource configuration information includes location information of the random access resource and uplink transmission power information. The random access resource includes at least one of a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, and a random access preamble resource. The uplink transmission power information includes an initial transmission power and a power increase granularity.

[0083] The terminal receives the SSB and obtains random access resource configuration information based on the received SSB.

[0084] Each SSB can correspond to an optimal receiving beam.

[0085] In step 402, the terminal transmits a random access message using a first uplink beam based on the random access resource allocation.

[0086] The first uplink beam may be an uplink beam corresponding to a receiving beam having a Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP) higher than a threshold. The RSRP of the receiving beam is obtained by SSB measurement.

[0087] In step 403, if the terminal does not receive a random access response message within the feedback time window, it calculates a new transmission power.

[0088] In some embodiments, the new transmission power is equal to the sum of the previous transmission power and the power increase granularity. For example, after the first transmission of a random access message, if no random response message is received within a time window, the new transmission power is equal to the sum of the initial transmission power and the power increase granularity. After the third transmission of a random access message, if no random response message is received within a time window, the new transmission power is equal to the sum of the transmission power and the power increase granularity used for the second transmission, i.e., the sum of the initial transmission power and twice the power increase granularity. By analogy,

[0089] If the calculated new transmission power exceeds the terminal maximum transmission power, the terminal maximum transmission power is set as the new transmission power. The terminal's maximum transmission power is the maximum transmission power corresponding to the first uplink beam arranged by the network device, or the terminal's maximum transmission power is the maximum transmission power corresponding to the first uplink beam that the terminal capability can support.

[0090] In step 404, the terminal determines a maximum allowed transmission power of the first uplink beam of the terminal, the maximum allowed transmission power being the maximum transmission power that satisfies the MPE limitation of the terminal.

[0091] In step 405, if the new transmission power is not greater than the maximum allowed transmission power, retransmit the random access message at the new transmission power using the first uplink beam.

[0092] In step 406, if the new transmission power is greater than the maximum permitted transmission power, retransmit the random access message using the first uplink beam at the maximum permitted transmission power.

[0093] In another embodiment, step 406 may instead reselect the second uplink beam to transmit the random access message based on the random access resource configuration, i.e., the transmission of the random access message using the first uplink beam is no longer continued.

[0094] In step 407, the terminal transmits first instruction information for instructing the maximum allowable transmission power of the first uplink beam.

[0095] For example, the first instruction information includes an identifier of an uplink beam and power correlation information of the uplink beam, and the power correlation information includes one or more of the maximum permitted transmission power, or a power interval to which the maximum permitted transmission power belongs, or a level corresponding to the maximum permitted transmission power, or a difference between the maximum permitted transmission power and a maximum transmission power of the terminal. The maximum transmission power of the terminal is a maximum transmission power corresponding to the first uplink beam configured by a network device, or the maximum transmission power of the terminal is a maximum transmission power corresponding to the first uplink beam that the capability of the terminal can support.

[0096] Optionally, the uplink beam identifier includes a reference signal identifier, and the reference signal identifier includes at least one of an SSB ID, a CSI-RS ID, a PRS ID, a TRS ID, and an SRS ID. In addition, the reference signal identifier further includes a TRP identifier and / or a physical cell identifier corresponding to a reference signal.

[0097] In a possible embodiment, when the terminal uses a four-step random access process to perform random access, the random access message is message 1 (msg.1) in the four-step random access process. In this case, when the terminal determines that the maximum permitted transmission power of the first uplink beam is smaller than the maximum transmission power of the terminal, that is, the maximum permitted transmission power limits the maximum transmission power of the uplink beam of the terminal, it transmits the first indication information by message 3 (msg.3) after receiving message 2 (msg.2), which is a random access response message.

[0098] In another possible embodiment, when the terminal performs random access using a two-step random process, the random access message is message A (msg.A) in the two-step random access process, and the terminal transmits the first indication information via a PUSCH in msg.A.

[0099] In step 408, the first instruction information of the network device is received.

[0100] In step 409, the network device determines the maximum allowable transmission power of the first uplink beam of the terminal based on the first indication information.

[0101] In the subsequent communication process, the network device can perform resource scheduling based on the maximum permitted transmission power of the first uplink beam, for example, preferentially instructing the terminal to use a beam with a large maximum permitted transmission power for uplink transmission.

[0102] In addition, in the embodiment as shown in Fig. 4, if the determined transmission power is greater than the maximum permitted transmission power, the terminal executes step 407, i.e., transmits only the first indication information corresponding to the uplink beam whose maximum permitted transmission power is less than the maximum transmission power of the terminal. In another embodiment, regardless of whether the transmission power determined by the terminal is greater than the maximum permitted transmission power, the terminal executes step 407, i.e., transmits the first indication information corresponding to all uplink beams.

[0103] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the maximum allowable transmission power of an uplink beam of a terminal is the maximum transmission power that satisfies the maximum permissible emission (MPE) limit of the terminal, and by sending first instruction information for indicating the maximum transmission power of at least one uplink beam to a network equipment, the network equipment can determine the maximum transmission power that the corresponding uplink beam of the terminal can reach based on the first instruction information, and perform resource scheduling based on the maximum transmission power, thereby improving the uplink transmission performance of the terminal.

[0110] The first uplink beam is an uplink beam for transmitting the random access message, and may be an uplink beam corresponding to a receiving beam having an RSRP higher than a threshold, where the RSRP of the receiving beam is obtained by SSB measurement.

[0111] In step 503, the terminal transmits a random access message using a first uplink beam based on the random access resource allocation.

[0112] If the maximum permitted transmission power of the first uplink beam of the terminal is smaller than the maximum transmission power of the terminal, the random access message includes first indication information.

[0113] For example, the terminal uses a two-step random process, and for message A (msg.A) in the two-step random access process, the terminal transmits the first indication information via a PUSCH in msg.A.

[0114] In step 504, the network device receives a random access message.

[0122] In step 602, the terminal transmits a random access message using a first uplink beam based on the random access resource allocation.

[0123] The first upstream beam may be an upstream beam corresponding to a receive beam having an RSRP higher than a threshold, the RSRP of the receive beam being obtained by SSB measurements.

[0124] As an example, the random access message is message 1 (msg.1) in the four-step random access process.

[0125] In step 603, the network device receives a random access message.

[0126] In step 604, the network device transmits a random access response.

[0128] In step 605, the terminal receives a random access response.

[0129] In step 606, the terminal determines the maximum allowed transmit power of the terminal's first uplink beam.

[0130] The maximum allowed transmit power is the maximum transmit power that satisfies the MPE limit of the terminal.

[0131] It should be noted that step 606 can be performed simultaneously with any of steps 602 to 605, or can be performed between any two adjacent steps among steps 602 to 605.

[0132] In step 607, the terminal sends msg.3.

[0133] If the maximum permitted transmission power of the first uplink beam of the terminal is smaller than the maximum transmission power of the terminal, msg.3 includes first indication information.

[0134] In step 608, the network device receives msg.3.

[0135] After receiving msg.3, the network device obtains the first indication information of msg.3.

[0136] In step 609, the network device determines the maximum allowable transmission power of the first uplink beam of the terminal based on the first indication information.

[0159] A measurement value corresponding to each downlink reference signal is obtained by performing a channel state information measurement on the downlink reference signal, for example, the measurement value includes a channel quality indicator (CQI).

[0160] In step 804, the terminal determines a maximum allowed transmission power of a first uplink beam, the maximum allowed transmission power being the maximum transmission power that satisfies the MPE limitation of the terminal.

[0169] In some embodiments, the terminal transmits an uplink reference signal via a first uplink beam, and the network device receives the uplink reference signal and performs beam measurement and / or channel state information measurement and / or positioning measurement based on the uplink reference signal.

[0170] 9 is a flowchart of a method for indicating and determining a transmission power according to an exemplary embodiment. The method can be jointly performed by a terminal and a network device. As shown in FIG. 9, the method includes the following steps:

[0171] In step 901, a network device transmits uplink reference signal resource allocation information.

[0172] The reference signal configuration information is used to indicate resources for carrying uplink reference signals. For example, the uplink reference signal is an SRS. Optionally, the SRS is an SRS for uplink beam management, or an SRS for channel state information measurement, or an SRS for position measurement.

[0173] Optionally, the uplink reference signal resource configuration information includes uplink resource location information and uplink transmission power correlation information. The uplink resource location information includes at least one of time domain resource location information and frequency domain resource location information. For example, the uplink transmission power information includes an initial transmission power and a power increase granularity.

[0174] In step 902, the terminal receives uplink reference signal resource allocation information.

[0175] In step 903, the terminal determines the transmission power based on the uplink reference signal resource allocation information.

[0176] The terminal determines the transmission power based on the uplink transmission power correlation information. The determination method can refer to the above-mentioned step 403, and the detailed description is omitted here.

[0177] In step 904, the terminal determines the maximum allowed transmit power of the first uplink beam.

[0178] The maximum permitted transmission power is the maximum transmission power that satisfies the MPE limit of the terminal. The first uplink beam is an uplink beam for transmitting the uplink reference signal.

[0179] In step 905, if the determined transmission power is greater than the maximum permitted transmission power, the uplink reference signal is transmitted at the maximum permitted transmission power using the first beam.

[0180] In step 906, if the determined transmission power is not greater than the maximum permitted transmission power, the uplink reference signal is transmitted at the determined transmission power by the first beam.

[0181] In step 907, the terminal transmits first instruction information for instructing the maximum allowable transmission power of the first uplink beam.

[0182] For the relevant content of the first instruction information, please refer to step 407 above, and detailed description will be omitted here.

[0183] In step 907, the terminal determines a receiving beam corresponding to the first uplink beam, determines an identifier of a downlink reference signal corresponding to the receiving beam, and sets the determined identifier of the downlink reference signal as the identifier of the first uplink beam. Alternatively, the terminal determines an identifier of an uplink reference signal corresponding to the first uplink beam, and sets the determined identifier of the uplink reference signal as the identifier of the uplink beam.

[0184] Optionally, the downlink reference signal identifier includes at least one of an SSB ID, a CSI-RS ID, a PRS ID, and a TRS ID, and the uplink reference signal identifier includes an SRS ID.

[0185] In some embodiments, the first indication may be sent together with the next measurement result of the channel state information. For related content, refer to the above step 705, and detailed description is omitted here.

[0186] In some embodiments, the first indication may be sent together with the next measurement result of the channel state information. For related content, refer to the above step 705, and detailed description is omitted here.

[0187] In another embodiment, the first indication information may be transmitted by special signaling, which may be carried on a PUCCH or a PUSCH.

[0188] In some embodiments, the terminal performs step 907 if the determined transmit power is greater than the maximum permitted transmit power. In other embodiments, step 907 is performed regardless of whether the transmit power determined by the terminal is greater than the maximum permitted transmit power.

[0189] In step 908, the network device receives the first indication.

[0190] In step 909, the network device determines the maximum allowable transmission power of the first uplink beam of the terminal based on the first indication information.

[0191] Alternatively, the first indication information may be transmitted by an uplink power remaining report in addition to the beam measurement report and the channel state information measurement report. That is, the uplink power remaining report includes the first indication information in addition to the power remaining between the current transmission power used by the terminal for PUSCH transmission and the maximum transmission power of the terminal. If the power remaining is a positive value, it indicates that the terminal can transmit more information at a power higher than the current transmission power, and if the power remaining is a negative value, it indicates that the terminal is beyond the allowable limit. The network device may allocate uplink resources for the terminal based on the power remaining. For example, the larger the power remaining, the more uplink resources, e.g., the more RBs, are allocated to the terminal. The uplink power remaining report may be transmitted by PUCCH or PUSCH.

[0192] Alternatively, the first indication may be transmitted by an uplink power limitation report indicating the power limitation due to the MPE limitation other than the beam measurement report and the channel state information measurement report. The uplink power limitation report may be a newly defined report, and may be transmitted by a MAC Control Element (MAC CE) or UCI, and may be carried by a PUCCH or a PUSCH.

[0193] In any of the above embodiments, the terminal may adopt the following manner to determine the maximum allowed transmission power of the first uplink beam: Second indication information for indicating a maximum permitted emission (MPE) value of the terminal is obtained, and a maximum permitted transmission power of at least one uplink beam of the terminal is determined based on the MPE value.

[0194] Optionally, the step of obtaining second instruction information for instructing a maximum permissible emission (MPE) value of the terminal includes the step of obtaining second instruction information stored in the terminal or the step of receiving second instruction information transmitted by a network device.

[0195] For example, the second instruction information may be an MPE value, an index corresponding to the MPE value, or an interval to which the MPE value belongs, etc., as long as the MPE value can be determined based on the second instruction information.

[0196] Optionally, the step of determining a maximum allowed transmission power of at least one uplink beam of the terminal based on the MPE value includes: A first step of determining a first amount of radiation due to a first transmission power; a second step of determining a power difference between the first transmission power and a maximum permitted transmission power based on a difference between the first radiation amount and the MPE value; and a third step of determining a maximum allowed transmission power based on the power difference and the first transmission power.

[0197] The first transmission power is a set value, or the first transmission power is determined based on configuration information transmitted by a network device.

[0198] For example, the sum of the power difference and the first transmission power is set as the maximum allowable transmission power.

[0199] Optionally, the step of determining a maximum allowed transmission power of at least one uplink beam of the terminal based on the MPE value includes: The method includes a step of setting the transmission power to the maximum allowable transmission power of the uplink beam when the amount of radiation due to the transmission power of the uplink beam reaches the MPE value.

[0200] That the amount of radiation due to the transmission power of the uplink beam reaches the MPE value means that the difference between the amount of radiation due to the transmission power of the uplink beam and the MPE value is sufficiently small, for example, approximately zero.

[0201] In a possible embodiment, the second indication may be a transmission power threshold corresponding to the MPE value, which may remain the maximum permitted transmission power.
