Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202111669147.6, entitled "Data Transmission Method, Radio Frequency Device, and Control Device," filed with the China National Intellectual Property Office on December 31, 2021, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0002] The present application relates to the field of communications technology, and more particularly to a data transmission method, a radio frequency device, and a control device. [Background technology]

[0003] Currently, two different baseband application standards can share a carrier. For example, new radio (NR) and long term evolution (LTE) can share spectrum resources. NR and LTE can report their respective channel configuration information to a resource allocation node. The resource allocation node can configure resource blocks (RBs) and power based on the channel configuration information of the two standards. Furthermore, the baseband processing unit corresponding to NR and the baseband processing unit corresponding to LTE can schedule the configured RBs and configured power separately.

[0004] However, when the two standards share power, the two standards need to transmit data based on a constant transmission power configured, and the power cannot be increased. If the power is increased in either one of the two standards, the baseband processing unit of either one of the two standards cannot detect whether the power is increased in the other standard, so the total power of the two standards may exceed the power usage range. This will affect the operation and overall performance of the hardware.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a data transmission method, a radio frequency device, and a control device to increase the flexibility of data transmission through the system. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present application provides a data transmission method, a radio frequency device, and a control device to increase the flexibility of data transmission through a system. [Means for solving the problem]

For example, the fronthaul interface may be a common public radio interface (CPRI), an eCPRI interface, or another interface for connecting the BU 120 and the RU 110 that will be defined in the future, which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0081] In this embodiment of the present application, when the BU 120 includes a first controller for baseband processing of the NR standard and a second controller for baseband processing of the LTE standard, the first controller and the second controller can communicate with the RU 110 separately. For example, the first controller and the second controller may be connected to the RU 110 using a communication optical fiber, respectively, or the first controller and the second controller may be connected to the RU 110 by sharing a communication optical fiber. When the first controller and the second controller share an optical fiber to communicate with the RU 110, the first controller and the second controller may be connected to the same node and communicate with the RU 110 through the node. Alternatively, a communication link may be established between the first controller and the second controller. The first controller transmits information related to the NR standard to the second controller, and the second controller transmits information related to the NR standard and information related to the LTE standard to the RU 110, or vice versa.

[0082] The NR standard and the LTE standard can share frequency resources and power. For example, some frequencies on one symbol are for data transmission of the NR standard, and some frequencies are for data transmission of the LTE standard. The LTE standard and the NR standard share frequency resources corresponding to symbols, and also share power configured for the symbols. The frequency resource corresponding to one symbol may be divided with the granularity of a resource element (RE). One RE is one subcarrier in the frequency domain. The frequency resource corresponding to one symbol may include at least one subcarrier or RE. Alternatively, the frequency resource corresponding to one symbol may be divided with the granularity of an RB. One RB includes 12 subcarriers in the frequency domain. The frequency resource corresponding to one symbol may include at least one RB. This is not specifically limited in this application. For clarity, the following uses an example in which the frequency resource corresponding to one symbol is divided with the granularity of an RE or a subcarrier.

[0083] In this embodiment of the application, the symbols are also referred to as time-domain symbols, and in particular may be orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM) symbols, or other time-domain symbols defined in future communications.

[0084] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of NR and LTE sharing RBs. Please refer to FIG. 2. One RB includes 12 subcarriers in the frequency domain, and the BU can allocate resources occupied by the NR standard and resources occupied by the LTE standard with a granularity of resource element (RE). One RE is one subcarrier in the frequency domain and one symbol in the time domain. It can be seen that on one symbol, some subcarriers may be for data transmission of the NR standard, and some subcarriers may be for data transmission of the LTE standard. Correspondingly, the power configured for one symbol is used for both data transmission of the NR standard and data transmission of the LTE standard.

[0085] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of LTE and NR standards sharing power. See FIG. 3(a). For example, a total power of 40W is configured for one RB. The available power specification configured for the LTE standard is 20W, and the available power specification configured for the NR standard is 20W. In this case, compared with a single-standard system, in this system, the power allocation of the two standards is cut in half, respectively, and there may be unused power for both of the two standards, resulting in serious waste of power specifications.

[0086] See (b) of FIG. 3. For example, a total power of 40W is configured for one RB. When allocating resources occupied by the NR standard and resources occupied by the LTE standard at the granularity of RE, the BU can perform power allocation based on the occupied resources. For example, in an RB, the NR standard can use a power of 30W, and the LTE standard can use a power of 10W. In this case, the available power specification configured for the LTE standard is 40W, and the available power specification configured for the NR standard is also 40W. This reduces the waste of power specifications. However, in this case, in the NR standard, when a power of 30W is scheduled, the power can be transmitted based only on the fixed parameters of the channel corresponding to each RE, and in the LTE standard, when a power of 10W is scheduled, the power can be transmitted based only on the fixed parameters of the channel corresponding to each RE. The power of the channel cannot be increased in the NR standard or the LTE standard. Otherwise, the total power of the two standards may exceed 40W, which affects the operation and overall performance of the hardware.

[0087] Therefore, the present application provides a data transmission method to improve the flexibility of data transmission by the system.

[0088] FIG. 4 is a schematic flow chart of a data transmission method 400 according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0089] S410: A radio frequency device obtains transmission power.

[0090] The transmission power is determined based on the first power increase information and the second power increase information, the first power increase information indicating a first power increase amplitude corresponding to the first standard in the time unit, and the second power increase information indicating a second power increase amplitude corresponding to the second standard in the time unit.

[0091] The first standard and the second standard are two different baseband operating standards. For example, the first standard is an NR standard and the second standard is an LTE standard. Alternatively, the first standard is an LTE standard and the second standard is an NR standard.

[0092] The transmission power is the transmission power shared by the first standard and the second standard. In other words, the data transmitted by the radio frequency device using the transmission power includes data of the first standard and data of the second standard.

[0093] A radio frequency device can obtain transmission power in the following three ways, which will be described separately below.

[0094] Method 1 Step S410 includes steps S4101 to S4103.

[0095] S4101: A first control device transmits first power increase information to a radio frequency device. Correspondingly, the radio frequency device receives the first power increase information from the first control device.

[0096] The first power increase information indicates a first power increase amplitude corresponding to a first standard in a time unit.

[0097] Optionally, the time unit is a symbol.

[0098] The first power increase amplitude may indicate a power increase factor of the symbol. The power increase factor may be expressed in decibels (where 1 dB=10lg(A / B), where A / B represents the factor). The first power increase information may include the symbol and the power increase decibels.

[0099] It should be noted that the power increase factor of a symbol is the factor by which the power of the symbol is increased compared to the constituent powers of the symbol.

[0100] Optionally, the first controller transmits a power configuration parameter of the first standard to the radio frequency device, the power configuration parameter indicating a configured power of each of the plurality of symbols.

[0101] The constituent power of a symbol can be represented by a constituent power spectrum configured by the first control device for each symbol during power allocation. The constituent power spectrum describes the correspondence between frequency and power. For example, the constituent power spectrum can indicate the power for transmitting data on each subcarrier in one symbol. In this case, the constituent power of the symbol is the total power of the constituent power spectrum. For example, the constituent power spectrum indicates that the power for transmitting data on subcarrier #1, subcarrier #2, and subcarrier #3 in symbol #1 is 1W, 1W, and 2W, respectively. In this case, the total power of the constituent power spectrum is 4W, and the constituent power corresponding to the first standard of symbol #1 is 4W. In addition, if the first power increase amplitude indicates that the power corresponding to the first standard of symbol #1 is increased by 3dB (the multiple is approximately equal to 1), the power obtained after the increase corresponding to the first standard of symbol #1 is 8W. The power spectrum obtained after the increase corresponding to the first standard for symbol #1 shows that the power for transmitting data on subcarrier #1, subcarrier #2, and subcarrier #3 is 2W, 2W, and 4W, respectively.

[0102] It should be understood that if the first power increase amplitude indicates that the power increase multiple of the symbol is 0, it means that the power corresponding to the first standard of symbol #1 is not increased and the data is still transmitted based on the configured power.

[0103] S4102: The second control device transmits second power increase information to the radio frequency device. Correspondingly, the radio frequency device receives the second power increase information from the second control device.

[0104] The second power increase information indicates a second power increase amplitude corresponding to a second standard in a time unit.

[0105] The description of the second power increase information is similar to that of the first power increase information, and for the sake of brevity, the details will not be described again here.

[0106] S4103: The radio frequency device determines a transmission power based on total power information. The total power information is determined based on a first power increase amplitude and a second power increase amplitude. The total power information is for determining a total power spectrum. The total power spectrum indicates a correspondence relationship between frequency and power in a time unit.

[0107] The radio frequency device can determine total power information based on the first power increase amplitude and the second power increase amplitude. The total power information can have two forms. The first form is as follows: the total power information describes the power increase amplitude at each frequency in a time unit, and the radio frequency device can determine the power obtained after the increase at each frequency based on the power configuration parameters of the time unit to form the total power spectrum. The second form is as follows: the total power information directly describes the power obtained after the increase at each frequency in a time unit to form the total power spectrum.

[0108] For example, the radio frequency device determines a power boost amplitude corresponding to the first standard for symbol #1 based on the first boost information, and determines a power boost amplitude corresponding to the second standard for symbol #1 based on the second boost information. Furthermore, the radio frequency device can determine the power obtained after boosting on each subcarrier at symbol #1 based on the power configuration parameters of the first standard and the power configuration parameters of the second standard to form a total power spectrum.

[0109] By way of example and not limitation, symbol #1 includes 12 subcarriers (subcarrier #1 to subcarrier #12). Subcarrier #1 to subcarrier #6 are configured for data transmission in a first standard. Subcarrier #7 to subcarrier #12 are configured for data transmission in a second standard. The configured powers on subcarrier #1 to subcarrier #12 are all 1W. The first power increase information indicates that the power corresponding to the first standard of symbol #1 is increased by 1. In this case, the increased powers on subcarrier #1 to subcarrier #6 are all 2W. The second power increase information indicates that the power corresponding to the second standard of symbol #1 is increased by 0.5. In this case, the increased powers on subcarrier #7 to subcarrier #12 are all 1.5W. For ease of explanation, please refer to FIG. 5. FIG. 5 shows a total power spectrum corresponding to an example. The horizontal coordinate represents frequency. In this example, 12 subcarriers are used to represent frequency, and the vertical coordinate represents the power of each subcarrier.

[0110] It should be understood that the above is only an example in which the frequency domain corresponding to symbol #1 includes 12 subcarriers (one RB). In this embodiment of the present application, the total power spectrum should include the correspondence between power and all frequency bands supported by symbol #1. For example, if the frequency resource corresponding to one symbol is divided at the granularity of RB, the power spectrum can describe the power corresponding to each RB of the symbol.

[0111] The radio frequency device can finally determine the transmission power for transmitting data based on the total power spectrum and the data transmission capability of the radio frequency device.

[0112] Optionally, if the total power of the total power spectrum is greater than or equal to a first threshold and the spectral density of the total power spectrum is greater than or equal to a second threshold, the radio frequency device determines the transmission power by performing a clipping operation on the total power spectrum.

[0113] In other words, if the total power spectrum indicates that the power obtained after the increase exceeds the data transmission capability range of the radio frequency device, the radio frequency device performs a clipping process on the total power spectrum so that the sum of the powers of the two standards falls within the data transmission capability range of the radio frequency device. If the total power spectrum meets two conditions, it can be considered that the power obtained after the increase exceeds the data transmission capability range of the radio frequency device. The following describes the two conditions separately.

[0114] Condition 1: The total power of the total power spectrum is equal to or greater than a first threshold.

[0115] The total power is the sum of the powers corresponding to all frequencies in a time unit. For example, in FIG. 5, the total power is the area of ​​the total spectrum graph, and subcarriers are used to represent the frequencies. In this way, the total power obtained after an increase on 12 subcarriers is 21 W. The value of the first threshold is related to the transmission capability of data transmission by the radio frequency device. For example, the first threshold may be the rated transmission power for transmitting data by the radio frequency device. If the total power is greater than the first threshold, it means that the rated transmission power of the radio frequency device is fully used.

[0116] Condition 2: The spectral density of the total power spectrum is equal to or greater than a second threshold.

[0117] Spectral density is the average power of the power corresponding to all frequencies in a time unit. For example, in FIG. 5, the spectral density is the average power of 12 subcarriers: 21 / 12=1.75W. The value of the second threshold also relates to the transmission capacity of data transmission by the radio frequency device. In one possible implementation, the value of the second threshold may be a value obtained by increasing the spectral density of the constituent power spectrum corresponding to the configuration parameter by 1.8 dB. In this case, condition 2 can be equivalently replaced with the decibels by which the spectral density of the total power spectrum is increased compared to the spectral density of the constituent power spectrum being 1.8 dB or more. For example, in FIG. 5, the constituent power on the 12 subcarriers that is not increased is 1 W, i.e., the spectral density of the constituent power spectrum is 1 W. The decibels by which the spectral density of the total power spectrum is increased compared to the spectral density of the constituent power spectrum is 101g (0.75), which is approximately equal to 1.2 dB and less than 1.8 dB.

[0118] If the total power spectrum meets the above two conditions, the radio frequency device needs to perform a clipping process on the total power spectrum.

[0119] The clipping process may be a global reduction of the transmission power of the symbols or another power reduction scheme that may allow at least one of the conditions to be not met.

[0120] It should be noted that if the first power increase information indicates that the increased power corresponding to the first standard in a time unit is 0, and the second power increase information indicates that the increased power corresponding to the second standard in a time unit is also 0, the radio frequency device can assume by default that the joint power of the two standards does not exceed the capability range in this case, and the radio frequency device does not need to make a decision on the aforesaid two conditions. Otherwise, the radio frequency device needs to determine whether the total power spectrum satisfies the aforesaid two conditions based on the first increase information and the second increase information.

[0121] Therefore, in scheme 1, the first control device and the second control device can send respective power increase information to the radio frequency device separately. After receiving the two power increase information, the radio frequency device combines the two power increase information, and further determines the transmission power for finally transmitting data according to the total power information obtained after the combination of the two standards and the transmission capability of the radio frequency device, so that the power can be increased even in a scenario where the two standards share power, and the flexibility of data transmission by the system is improved.

[0122] Method 2 Step S410 includes steps S4104 to S4107.

[0123] S4104: The second control device sends second power increase information to the first control device. Correspondingly, the first control device receives second power increase information from the second control device.

[0124] For example, a first controller and a second controller can establish a communication link, and the second controller transmits the second incremental information to the first controller over the communication link.

[0125] S4105: The first control device determines the total power information.

[0126] The first controller determines total power information based on the first power increase information and the second power increase information received from the second controller.

[0127] The description of the first power increase information, the second power increase information, and the total power information is the same as that of the above-mentioned scheme 1. For the sake of brevity, the details are not described again here. It should be noted that, when the total power information directly describes the power obtained after the increase at each frequency in a time unit, the second control device can further send the power configuration parameters corresponding to the second standard to the first control device.

[0128] S4106: The first control device transmits the total power information to the radio frequency device. Correspondingly, the radio frequency device receives the total power information from the first control device.

[0129] S4107: The radio frequency device determines a transmission power based on the total power information.

[0130] The description of the radio frequency device determining the transmission power based on the total power information is similar to the description of Scheme 1 above, and for the sake of brevity, the details will not be described again here.

[0131] It should be understood that the above is an example of the first control device determining the total power information. On the contrary, the first control device sends the first power increase information to the second control device, and the second control device determines the total power information and sends the total power information to the radio frequency device. Details are not described again.

[0132] Therefore, in the scheme 2, the first control device or the second control device can combine the first power increase information and the second power increase information to generate total power information, and transmit the total power information to the radio frequency device. Furthermore, the radio frequency device finally determines the transmission power for transmitting data based on the total power information obtained after the combination of the two standards and the transmission capability of the radio frequency device, so that the power can be increased even in a scenario where the two standards share power, and the flexibility of data transmission by the system is improved.

[0133] Method 3 Step S410 includes steps S4108 to S4110.

[0134] S4108: The second control device sends the second power increase information to the first control device. Correspondingly, the first control device receives the second power increase information from the second control device.

[0135] For this step, please also refer to step S4104 above, and for the sake of brevity, the details will not be described again here.

[0136] S4109: The first control device determines the transmission power.

[0137] The first control device can obtain capability information of data transmission by the radio frequency device. Furthermore, the first control device determines total power information based on the first power increase information and the second power increase information, and determines transmission power based on the total power information. The manner in which the first control device determines transmission power based on the total power information is similar to the manner in which the radio frequency device determines transmission power based on the total power information. For the sake of brevity, the details will not be described again here.

[0138] S4110: The first control device transmits transmission power to the radio frequency device. Correspondingly, the radio frequency device receives transmission power from the first control device.

[0139] The first control device may transmit the transmission power to the radio frequency device by transmitting the total power information and the clipping policy, or the first control device may directly transmit the transmission power to the radio frequency device. This is not specifically limited in this application. The above description of the first control device determining the transmission power is similar to the description of the second control device determining the transmission power. The details will not be described again.

[0140] Therefore, in method 3, the first control device or the second control device obtains capability information for data transmission by the radio frequency device, generates total power information based on the first power increase information and the second power increase information, and determines the transmission power for transmitting data by the radio frequency device based on the total power information, so that the power can be increased even in a scenario where two standards share power, thereby improving the flexibility of data transmission by the system.

[0141] The above describes how a radio frequency device obtains transmission power.

[0142] S420: The radio frequency device transmits data corresponding to the time unit based on the transmission power.

[0143] In other words, the radio frequency device uses the transmission power to transmit data corresponding to a time unit.

[0144] The data corresponding to the time unit may be the sum of the data corresponding to the first standard in the time unit and the data corresponding to the second standard in the time unit.

[0145] For example, the radio frequency device transmits data corresponding to a first standard in symbol #1 and data corresponding to a second standard in symbol #1 based on the transmission power, i.e., the first standard and the second standard share the transmission power in symbol #1.

[0146] Therefore, in this embodiment of the present application, the radio frequency device obtains a transmission power determined based on both the first power increase information and the second power increase information, and can increase the power even in a scenario where two standards share power, thereby improving the flexibility of data transmission by the system.

The first standard and the second standard are different baseband operating standards.

[0154] Therefore, in this embodiment of the present application, the radio frequency device obtains a transmission power determined based on both the first power increase information and the second power increase information, and can increase the power even in a scenario where two standards share power, thereby improving the flexibility of data transmission by the system.
