AI Technical Summary
The existing method of updating Single Cell Multicast Control Channel (SC-MCCH) information through periodicity and modification periodicity using higher layer RRC signaling is time-consuming, leading to slow acquisition of MCCH modification information by terminals.
The method involves transmitting DCI scrambled with RNTIs to indicate updates in multicast and/or broadcast service control information, including configuration details such as TMGI lists, G-RNTIs, BWP settings, subcarrier spacing, logical channels, DRX settings, and uplink resource configurations for HARQ feedback, allowing for faster and more efficient communication.
This approach reduces the time required to update SC-MCCH information, enhancing the speed and efficiency of MCCH modification acquisition by terminals.

[0177] In order to clarify the objectives, technical means and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical means of the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments that a person skilled in the art can obtain based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0178] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an information communication method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to a network-side device and includes step 21.
[0179] Step 21: Sending first downlink control information (DCI) scrambled by a first Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) to the terminal, wherein the first DCI is used to indicate whether control information of one multicast service and / or broadcast service has been updated or to indicate update-related information; The control information includes configuration information for multicast and / or broadcast services.
[0180] The embodiments of the present disclosure use DCI to indicate whether control information for multicast and / or broadcast services has been updated, thereby accelerating the terminal's acquisition of Multicast Control Channel (MCCH) modification information and enabling the terminal to acquire accurate multicast and / or broadcast data more quickly, thereby meeting the low latency requirements and applicable to 5G multi-application scenarios.
[0181] Optionally, the configuration information of the one multicast service and / or broadcast service includes: A list of Temporary Mobile Group Identities (TMGIs), a session identifier (Session ID) corresponding to the TMGI in the list of TMGIs; A group RNTI (G-RNTI) corresponding to a TMGI in the list of TMGIs; the bandwidth part (BWP) corresponding to the TMGI in the list of TMGIs, the subcarrier spacing corresponding to the TMGI in the list of TMGIs; logical channels and / or logical channel groups corresponding to the TMGIs in the list of TMGIs; Discontinuous Reception (DRX) settings corresponding to the TMGIs in the list of TMGIs; Uplink resource configuration of Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) feedback corresponding to the TMGI in the list of TMGIs; and and an uplink resource configuration of a Channel State Information (CSI) report corresponding to the TMGI in the list of TMGIs.
[0182] It should be understood that the configuration information of the multicast service and / or broadcast service on the MCCH may further include, in addition to at least one of the above, at least one of a synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel signal block (or synchronization signal block) (Synchronization Signal and PBCH block, SSB, i.e., SS / PBCH Block, which may include a PSS (Primary Synchronization Signal), an SSS (Secondary Synchronization Signal), and a PBCH (Physical Broadcast Channel), and may also be referred to as a synchronization signal / broadcast channel block) corresponding to the TMGI in the list of TMGIs, a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), a Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI), and a beam.
[0183] PBCH is the Physical Broadcast Channel, and SSB is the Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB for short).
[0184] Optionally, the first DCI comprises: that control information for multicast and / or broadcast services has changed; whether the control information of the multicast and / or broadcast service has changed; Control information of the multicast and / or broadcast service that has changed; the type of control information of the multicast and / or broadcast service that has changed; and and reading resource information of the control information of the multicast and / or broadcast service that has changed.
[0185] Optionally, when the first DCI is used to indicate that control information of a multicast service and / or a broadcast service has changed, the first DCI may further include: that the configuration information of the multicast service and / or broadcast service has changed; The transmission method of the multicast service and / or broadcast service is changed from a single cell single point to multipoint (SC-PTM) transmission method to a multi-cell single point to multipoint (i.e., MBMS) transmission method; The transmission method of the multicast service and / or broadcast service is changed from a multi-cell single-point-to-multipoint transmission method to a single-cell single-point-to-multipoint transmission method; The transmission method of the multicast service and / or broadcast service is changed from a single-point-to-multipoint transmission method to a single-point-to-single-point transmission method; The transmission method of the multicast service and / or broadcast service is changed from a single-point-to-single-point transmission method to a single-point-to-multipoint transmission method; a multicast or broadcast service in which control information of the multicast service and / or broadcast service has changed; Adding a new group of multicast and / or broadcast services; Deleting an existing group of multicast and / or broadcast services; updating an existing group of multicast and / or broadcast services; turning off or on HARQ feedback for the multicast and / or broadcast service; and It is used to indicate at least one of turning on or turning off CSI feedback for the multicast service and / or broadcast service.
[0186] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, one scheduling unit (for example, one time slot) can indicate one or more of the above information.
[0187] For example, if one cell has one Single Cell-Multicast Control Channel (SC-MCCH), the SC-MCCH information can be updated by one PDCCH, eliminating the need for the prior art method of updating the SC-MCCH information by notifying the period and modification period. The specific method is as follows:
[0188] A field in the DCI of the PDCCH is used to indicate the MCCH state, and the message can be scrambled with a new RNTI or can be scrambled using the SC-RNTI.
[0189] The MCCH Status Indicator-2 bits are determined based on Table 1 below.
[0190] [Table 1]
[0191] Alternatively, the MCCH Status Indicator-4 bits are determined based on Table 2 below.
[0192] [Table 2]
[0193] If it is 11 in Table 1 or 1111 in Table 2, it is Messages-8. If it is 01 or 0001, this field is reserved and the UE can ignore Tables 3 and 4 below.
[0194] [Table 3]
[0195] or [Table 4]
[0196] The UE then determines whether the SC-MCCH information has changed based on the content in this DCI, and optionally determines which multicast service's SC-MCCH information has changed and / or the specific changes and where the changed SC-MCCH information can be read.
[0197] Finally, the UE reads the SC-PTM configuration information based on the changed SC-MCCH information.
[0198] For example, when one cell has multiple SC-MCCHs, First step: Different groups have different SC-RNTIs, and RRC messages are used to set up correspondences between different multicast services and SC-RNTIs. Second step: Updating of SC-MCCH information can be realized with one PDCCH, eliminating the need for the prior art method of updating SC-MCCH information by notifying the period and correction period. The specific method is as follows:
[0199] A field in the DCI of the PDCCH is used to indicate the MCCH state, and the message can be scrambled with a new RNTI or can be scrambled using the SC-RNTI. The MCCH Status Indicator-2 bits are determined based on the following table. [Table 4A] If it is 11, it is Messages-8 bits. If it is 01, this field is reserved and the UE can ignore Table 5 below.
[0200] [Table 5]
[0201] The UE then determines whether the SC-MCCH information has changed based on the content in this DCI, and optionally determines which multicast service's SC-MCCH information has changed and / or the specific changes and where the changed SC-MCCH information can be read.
[0202] Optionally, the first DCI is that the configuration information of the multicast service and / or broadcast service has changed; The transmission method of the multicast service and / or broadcast service is changed from a single-cell single-point-to-multipoint transmission method to a multi-cell single-point-to-multipoint transmission method; The transmission method of the multicast service and / or broadcast service is changed from a multi-cell single-point-to-multipoint transmission method to a single-cell single-point-to-multipoint transmission method; The transmission method of the multicast service and / or broadcast service is changed from a single-point-to-multipoint transmission method to a single-point-to-single-point transmission method; The transmission method of the multicast service and / or broadcast service is changed from a single-point-to-single-point transmission method to a single-point-to-multipoint transmission method; a multicast or broadcast service in which control information of the multicast service and / or broadcast service has changed; Adding a new group of multicast and / or broadcast services; Deleting an existing group of multicast and / or broadcast services; updating an existing group of multicast and / or broadcast services; turning off or on HARQ feedback for the multicast and / or broadcast service; and It is used to indicate at least one of turning on or turning off CSI feedback for the multicast service and / or broadcast service.
[0203] Optionally, after transmitting a first DCI scrambled with a first RNTI to the terminal, further The first DCI includes information for indicating that control information of a multicast service and / or a broadcast service has changed, and / or If the control information of the multicast service and / or broadcast service is accompanied by resources for change information, the change information of the control information of the multicast service and / or broadcast service is transmitted.
[0204] Optionally, the method further comprises: - broadcasting control information for each multicast and / or broadcast service of a plurality of multicast and / or broadcast services; or broadcasting control information of a first multicast service and / or broadcast service among control information of a plurality of multicast services and / or broadcast services, wherein control information of other multicast services and / or broadcast services among the control information of the plurality of multicast services and / or broadcast services is the same as the control information of the first multicast service and / or broadcast service; The control information includes at least one of a repetition period, an offset amount, a starting subframe, and a modification period.
[0205] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if there are multiple SC-MCCHs in a cell, for example, 10 SC-MCCHs, one method is to still broadcast the scheduling information of each set of SC-MCCHs, such as the repetition period, offset amount, starting subframe and modification period, by a system message; or When the scheduling information of multiple multicast groups includes the same scheduling information parameters, such as the repeat period of information transmission, the offset amount, the starting subframe, and the modification period, broadcast one set and then attach the multicast group information; Alternatively, if the repetition periods of the transmission information of different groups are the same, in order to maintain good forward compatibility and save signaling overhead, there is no need to broadcast multiple sets of SC-MCCH repetition periods, offset amounts, starting subframes and modification periods in system messages, and only one set of scheduling information such as SC-MCCH repetition period, offset amount, starting subframe and modification period is still broadcast in system messages, and the UE derives the appearance time of the SC-MCCH of the corresponding group based on the ID number of different groups.

[0244] As shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of an information receiving method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to a terminal and includes the following step 71:
[0245] Step 71: Determine monitoring occasions of a physical downlink control channel PDCCH for one or more multicast messages, and receive multicast information at the monitoring occasions of the physical downlink control channel PDCCH for the multicast messages; One multicast message occasion is a PDCCH monitoring occasion for one group of multicast messages; A PDCCH monitoring occasion of one multicast message includes at least one time slot; Each time slot included in the PDCCH monitoring occasion of one multicast message includes at least one time symbol; The multicast information is DCI for scheduling multicast services by the network; DCI for scheduling multicast service configuration information by the network; DCI for information on the control channel of the multicast service, DCI for scheduling information on a control channel for multicast services by the network; DCI of scheduling information of control channel information of multicast service; DCI for scheduling modification information of the control channel of the multicast service by the network; DCI of the control channel modification information of the multicast service, and DCI of scheduling information of modification information of control channel of multicast service.
[0246] The multicast message is the content attached to the PDSCH, and the multicast information refers to the monitored content, and the terminal can use the multicast information to find the transmission resource of the multicast message.
[0247] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the phrase "determine monitoring occasions of the physical downlink control channel PDCCH for one or more multicast messages, and receive multicast information at the monitoring occasions of the physical downlink control channel PDCCH for multicast messages," the word "receive" also means "monitor" or "discover."
[0248] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, for monitoring occasions (MOs) for monitoring multicast scheduling information and / or multicast service information, especially for terminals in idle and connected states, a common search space is used to receive multicast scheduling information and / or multicast service information, and the terminals only need to wake up at the corresponding scheduling time slots to monitor the PDCCH and the corresponding PDSCH, and do not need to continue monitoring the PDCCH of the SC-RNTI, thereby reducing power consumption.
[0249] Taking multicast scheduling information monitoring as an example, the terminal monitors multicast scheduling information in multicast scheduling information occasions (MOs) within each multicast scheduling information reading period. An MO is a group of PDCCH monitoring occasions, which may include multiple time slots (e.g., subframes or Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols), within which the DCI of the multicast scheduling message can be transmitted.
[0250] Optionally, determining a monitoring occasion of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for the one or more multicast messages comprises: Determining a PDCCH monitoring occasion for the multicast message based on a search space for the multicast message or a search space set for the multicast message; The search space for multicast messages is defined as A method in which a UE reads information of an Nth type PDCCH common search space set for setting a search space of a multicast message from a PDCCH common configuration configured by a network using an RRC message, the common search space being used for a DCI format scrambled with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code by a multicast-RNTI in a primary cell; A method in which a UE reads a search space having an identifier of a common type from a PDCCH dedicated configuration configured by an RRC message, the search space being used for a DCI format whose CRC is scrambled by a multicast-RNTI in a primary cell; If the UE does not find the information of the Nth PDCCH common search space set for the multicast message search space configuration by the RRC message, the correlation between the PDCCH monitoring occasion and the SSB block index for the Nth PDCCH common search space set is the same as the correlation between the PDCCH monitoring occasion and the PDCCH common search space of type 0; determining by at least one of the following methods: finding the CCE aggregation levels in the common search space set of the Nth type PDCCH and the number of PDCCH candidates for each CCE aggregation level by table lookup; Information on a common search space set of the Nth type PDCCH and / or information on a search space identified as a common type, Search space number, First indication information used to indicate a first time symbol in a control resource set in one slot used for monitoring an occasion of a PDCCH for a multicast message; Second indication information used to indicate a monitoring period and a time offset amount used for monitoring an occasion of a PDCCH for a multicast message; Third indication information used to indicate a start symbol and / or a duration in one monitoring period used for monitoring the PDCCH for multicast messages; Fourth indication information indicating monitoring time slots and / or monitoring time symbols used for monitoring occasions of the PDCCH of the multicast message in the form of a bitmap; Fifth indication information indicating a monitoring time symbol in one time slot used for monitoring the PDCCH of the multicast message in the form of a bitmap; Sixth indication information used to indicate the start symbol and / or duration of one time slot used for monitoring the PDCCH of the multicast message; and and seventh indication information used to indicate the index of a control resource set associated with this search space.
[0251] Alternatively, one or more PDCCH monitoring occasions for a multicast message constitute one multicast message occasion.
[0252] The method for determining the MF and MO that monitor the multicast scheduling message will be described below using an example.
[0253] A set of PDCCH candidates to be monitored by the terminal is defined based on a PDCCH search space set, and the search space set may be a common search space set or a terminal-specific search space set. The terminal may define a TypeN-PDCCH common search space set obtained by adding an X-SearchSpace setting to PDCCH-ConfigCommon (PDCCH common setting), which is used to set a DCI format whose CRC is scrambled by multicast-RNTI in the primary cell, If the UE is not provided with the higher layer parameter MB-SearchSpace for the Type x-PDCCH common search space set, the association relationship between the PDCCH monitoring occasion and the SS / PBCH block index for the Type X-PDCCH common search space set is the same as that for the TYPE 0-PDCCH common monitoring occasion, and the TYPE 0-PDCCH common search space to be configured, and the X-PDCCH common search space set, where the control channel element (CCE) aggregation level and the number of PDCCH candidates for each CCE aggregation level in the X-PDCCH common search space set can be found by table lookup, Determine a PDCCH monitoring occasion for monitoring multicast scheduling information based on the X-Search Space specified by the protocol and the first PDCCH monitoring occasion set by RRC signaling, and / or monitor PDCCH candidates in one or more search space sets of an X-PDCCH common search space set, which is set by the network whether the PDCCH monitoring occasion for multicast scheduling is the same as the RMSI.
[0254] For example, if one Monitoring-periodicity-PDCCH-slot is 2, there are eight PDCCH monitoring occasions (MO) for each monitoring time slot and / or monitoring time symbol, which indicate the PDCCH monitoring occasions for multicast messages in the form of a bitmap. Specifically, the RRC can define the starting OFDM time symbol and the specific symbols that need to be monitored. For example, if 001111011100000111101111000, symbols #2, #3, #4, #5, #7, #8, #9, and #10 need to be monitored. Or, If one Monitoring-periodicity-PDCCH-slot is 2, there are four PDCCH monitoring occasions in each slot, and the symbols in the first slot that need to be monitored are #2, 3, 4, and 5, and the symbols in the second slot that need to be monitored are #7, 8, 9, and 10. Specifically, the RRC can define the starting OFDM time symbol and the specific symbol that needs to be monitored (e.g., 00111100000000000001111000).
[0255] Optionally, the method further comprises: The method includes determining a multicast scheduling radio frame (MF), where the MF is a system frame that includes one or more MOs or the origin of the MOs.
[0256] One multicast scheduling radio frame (MF) is a system frame that may include one or more MOs or the origin of MOs.
[0257] Optionally, the method further comprises: The method includes selecting one or more beams for receiving multicast scheduling information.
[0258] Associated with the beam information is SSB / CSI-RS.
[0259] In multi-beam operation, the UE may assume that the same multicast scheduling message is repeated in all transmitted beams, and therefore the UE may select one or more beams for receiving the multicast scheduling message.
[0260] Alternatively, the occasion of one multicast message is a PDCCH monitoring occasion of Y multicast messages, where Y is determined based on the number of SSBs actually transmitted in the cell.
[0261] MO is the case of monitoring one group of Y consecutive PDCCHs, where Y is determined based on the number of SSBs actually transmitted in the cell.
[0262] Optionally, one multicast message occasion is a PDCCH monitoring occasion for one group of multicast messages; The Zth PDCCH monitoring occasion in the occasion of the multicast message corresponds to the Zth SSB to be transmitted, where Z is a positive integer.
[0263] The meaning of the Zth PDCCH monitoring occasion is that one multicast message occasion consists of Y multicast message PDCCH monitoring occasions, and therefore the Zth PDCCH monitoring occasion is the Zth PDCCH monitoring occasion in the Y multicast message PDCCH monitoring occasions.
[0264] As shown in FIG. 7a, FIG. 7a is a flowchart of an information transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to a network-side device and includes the following step 701:

[0267] Optionally, the step of transmitting multicast information in monitoring occasions of a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of the one or more multicast messages comprises: Associating the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the multicast message with a corresponding multicast message search space or a multicast message search space set; The search space for multicast messages is defined as A method for configuring a common search space set of an Nth type PDCCH for configuring a search space of a multicast message in a PDCCH common configuration configured by a radio resource control (RRC) message, wherein the common search space is used for a DCI format scrambled by a cyclic redundancy check code (CRC) by a multicast-RNTI in a primary cell; and a method for configuring by using at least one of the following: a method for configuring an identifier in a PDCCH dedicated configuration configured by an RRC message as a common type search space, wherein the search space is used for a DCI format in which CRC is scrambled by a multicast-RNTI in a primary cell; Information on a common search space set of PDCCH of type N and / or information on a search space identified as a common type, Search space number, First indication information used to indicate a first time symbol in a control resource set in one slot used for monitoring an occasion of a PDCCH for a multicast message; Second indication information used to indicate a monitoring period and a time offset amount used for monitoring an occasion of a PDCCH for a multicast message; Third indication information used to indicate a start symbol and / or a duration in one monitoring period used for monitoring the PDCCH for multicast messages; Fourth indication information indicating monitoring time slots and / or monitoring time symbols used for monitoring occasions of the PDCCH of the multicast message in the form of a bitmap; Fifth indication information indicating a monitoring time symbol in one time slot used for monitoring the PDCCH of the multicast message in the form of a bitmap; Sixth indication information used to indicate the start symbol and / or duration of one time slot used for monitoring the PDCCH of the multicast message; and and seventh indication information used to indicate the index of the control resource set associated with this search space.
[0268] Alternatively, one or more PDCCH monitoring occasions for a multicast message constitute one multicast message occasion.
[0269] Optionally, the method further comprises: The method includes determining a multicast scheduling radio frame, where MF is a system frame including one or more MOs or origins of MOs.
[0270] Optionally, the method further comprises: The method includes selecting one or more beams for transmitting multicast scheduling information.
[0271] Alternatively, the occasion of one multicast message is a PDCCH monitoring occasion of Y multicast messages, where Y is determined based on the number of SSBs actually transmitted in the cell.
[0272] Optionally, one multicast message occasion is a PDCCH monitoring occasion for one group of multicast messages; The Zth PDCCH monitoring occasion in the occasion of the multicast message corresponds to the Zth SSB to be transmitted, where Z is a positive integer.
[0273] As shown in FIG. 7b, FIG. 7b is a flowchart of an information receiving method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to a terminal and includes the following step 711:
[0274] Step 711: Determine a PDCCH monitoring occasion for one or more multicast messages, and receive multicast information at the occasion of the multicast message; A PDCCH monitoring occasion of one multicast message includes at least one time slot; Each time slot included in the PDCCH monitoring occasion of one multicast message includes at least one time symbol; The multicast information is DCI for scheduling multicast services by the network; DCI for scheduling multicast service configuration information by the network; DCI for information on the control channel of the multicast service, DCI for scheduling information on a control channel for multicast services by the network; DCI of scheduling information of control channel information of multicast service; DCI for scheduling modification information of the control channel of the multicast service by the network; DCI of the control channel modification information of the multicast service, and DCI of scheduling information of modification information of control channel of multicast service.
[0275] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the phrase "determine monitoring occasions of the physical downlink control channel PDCCH for one or more multicast messages, and receive multicast information at the monitoring occasions of the physical downlink control channel PDCCH for multicast messages," the word "receive" also means "monitor" or "discover."
[0276] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, for the PDCCH monitoring occasion for monitoring multicast scheduling information and / or multicast service information, especially for terminals in idle state and connected state, a common search space is used to receive multicast scheduling information and / or multicast service information, and the terminal only needs to wake up at the corresponding scheduling time slot to monitor the PDCCH and the corresponding PDSCH, and does not need to continue monitoring the PDCCH of the multicast RNTI, thereby reducing power consumption.
[0277] A monitoring occasion of the PDCCH for the multicast message is determined based on the search space of the multicast message or the search space set of the multicast message.
[0278] The search space for multicast messages is defined as A method in which a UE reads information of an Nth type PDCCH common search space set for setting a search space of a multicast message from a PDCCH common configuration configured by a network using an RRC message, the common search space being used for a DCI format scrambled with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code by a multicast-RNTI in a primary cell; A method in which a UE reads a search space having an identifier of a common type from a PDCCH dedicated configuration configured by an RRC message, the search space being used for a DCI format whose CRC is scrambled by a multicast-RNTI in a primary cell; If the UE does not find the information of the Nth PDCCH common search space set for the multicast message search space configuration by the RRC message, the correlation between the PDCCH monitoring occasion and the SSB block index for the Nth PDCCH common search space set is the same as the correlation between the PDCCH monitoring occasion and the PDCCH common search space of type 0; determining by at least one of the following methods: finding the CCE aggregation levels in the common search space set of the Nth type PDCCH and the number of PDCCH candidates for each CCE aggregation level by table lookup; Information on a common search space set of the Nth type PDCCH and / or information on a search space identified as a common type, Search space number, First indication information used to indicate a first time symbol in a control resource set in one slot used for monitoring an occasion of a PDCCH for a multicast message; Second indication information used to indicate a monitoring period and a time offset amount used for monitoring an occasion of a PDCCH for a multicast message; Third indication information used to indicate a start symbol and / or a duration in one monitoring period used for monitoring the PDCCH for multicast messages; Fourth indication information indicating monitoring time slots and / or monitoring time symbols used for monitoring occasions of the PDCCH of the multicast message in the form of a bitmap; Fifth indication information indicating a monitoring time symbol in one time slot used for monitoring the PDCCH of the multicast message in the form of a bitmap; Sixth indication information used to indicate the start symbol and / or duration of one time slot used for monitoring the PDCCH of the multicast message; and and seventh indication information used to indicate the index of a control resource set associated with this search space.
[0279] A set of PDCCH candidates to be monitored by the terminal is defined based on a PDCCH search space set, and the search space set may be a common search space set or a terminal-specific search space set. The terminal may define a TypeN-PDCCH common search space set obtained by adding an X-SearchSpace setting to PDCCH-ConfigCommon (PDCCH common setting), which is used to set a DCI format whose CRC is scrambled by multicast-RNTI in the primary cell, If the UE is not provided with the higher layer parameter MB-SearchSpace for the Type x-PDCCH common search space set, the association relationship between the PDCCH monitoring occasion and the SS / PBCH block index for the Type X-PDCCH common search space set is the same as that for the TYPE 0-PDCCH common monitoring occasion, and the TYPE 0-PDCCH common search space to be configured, and the X-PDCCH common search space set, where the control channel element (CCE) aggregation level and the number of PDCCH candidates for each CCE aggregation level in the X-PDCCH common search space set can be found by table lookup, Determine a PDCCH monitoring occasion for monitoring multicast scheduling information based on the X-Search Space specified by the protocol and the first PDCCH monitoring occasion set by RRC signaling, and / or monitor PDCCH candidates in one or more search space sets of an X-PDCCH common search space set, which is set by the network whether the PDCCH monitoring occasion for multicast scheduling is the same as the RMSI.
[0280] For example, if one Monitoring-periodicity-PDCCH-slot is 2, there are eight PDCCH monitoring occasions (MO) for each monitoring time slot and / or monitoring time symbol, which indicate the PDCCH monitoring occasions for multicast messages in the form of a bitmap. Specifically, the RRC can define the starting OFDM time symbol and the specific symbols that need to be monitored. For example, if 001111011100000111101111000, symbols #2, #3, #4, #5, #7, #8, #9, and #10 need to be monitored. Or, If one Monitoring-periodicity-PDCCH-slot is 2, there are four PDCCH monitoring occasions in each slot, and the symbols in the first slot that need to be monitored are #2, 3, 4, and 5, and the symbols in the second slot that need to be monitored are #7, 8, 9, and 10. Specifically, the RRC can define the starting OFDM time symbol and the specific symbol that needs to be monitored (e.g., 00111100000000000001111000).
[0281] Optionally, the method further comprises: The method includes selecting one or more beams for receiving multicast scheduling information.
[0282] Associated with the beam information is SSB / CSI-RS.
[0283] In multi-beam operation, the UE may assume that the same multicast scheduling message is repeated in all transmitted beams, and therefore the UE may select one or more beams for receiving the multicast scheduling message.
[0284] Optionally, one multicast message occasion is a PDCCH monitoring occasion for one group of multicast messages; An occasion of one multicast message is a monitoring occasion of the PDCCH for Y multicast messages, where Y is determined based on the number of SSBs actually transmitted in the cell. MO is the case of monitoring one group of Y consecutive PDCCHs, where Y is determined based on the number of SSBs actually transmitted in the cell. Optionally, one multicast message occasion is a PDCCH monitoring occasion for one group of multicast messages; The Zth PDCCH monitoring occasion in the occasion of the multicast message corresponds to the Zth SSB to be transmitted, where Z is a positive integer.
[0285] As shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of an information transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to a network-side device and includes the following step 81:
[0286] Step 81: Within a repetition period of the control information of the multicast service and / or broadcast service, transmit control information of n multicast service and / or broadcast service to the terminal every t time domain units, where n and t are positive integers.
[0287] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, control information for multiple multicast and / or broadcast services can be transmitted separately, allowing a terminal to monitor the control information corresponding to the corresponding transmission time, and not need to receive the control information for all multicast and / or broadcast services.
[0288] In the prior art, all multicast and / or broadcast control information is transmitted on one MCCH. And all multicast scheduling information in the prior art is transmitted on one SC-MCCH. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, various multicast SC-MCCHs are introduced. The SC-MCCH information of multiple multicasts broadcast from the network is generated by a distributed unit (DU) node and then sent to a centralized unit (CU) node for broadcasting. Before generating system information related to the SC-MCCH, the DU node needs to obtain information related to the multicast service, such as the TMGI, session identifier, interested UEs, and related Quality of Service (QoS), from the CU.
[0289] Optionally, before transmitting the control information of the n multicast and / or broadcast services to the terminal every t time domain units within a repetition period of the control information of the multicast and / or broadcast services, the method further comprises: The method includes a transmitting step of transmitting first information to a terminal, wherein the first information is used to indicate a first transmission time, and the first transmission time is a transmission time within a corresponding time domain unit of control information of the n multicast and / or broadcast services.
[0290] Optionally, the first information is: information for indicating a start time of the first transmission period; information indicating a duration of the first transmission time; and information for indicating a first offset amount, the first offset amount being an offset amount between the first transmission time and a position of the RMSI of an SSB.
[0291] As shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of an information receiving method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to a terminal and includes the following step 91:
[0292] Step 91: Receive control information of n multicast and / or broadcast services transmitted every t time domain units within a repetition period of the control information of the multicast and / or broadcast services from a network side device, where n and t are positive integers.
[0293] In the prior art, all multicast and / or broadcast control information is transmitted on one MCCH.
[0294] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, control information for multiple multicast and / or broadcast services can be transmitted separately, allowing a terminal to monitor the control information corresponding to the corresponding transmission time, and not need to receive the control information for all multicast and / or broadcast services.
[0295] Optionally, receiving, from the network side device, control information of n multicast services and / or broadcast services transmitted every t time domain units within a repetition period of the control information of the multicast service and / or broadcast service, obtaining, within the repetition period, time domain units corresponding to control information of multicast and / or broadcast services; monitoring the time domain unit for control information of a corresponding multicast service and / or broadcast service.
[0296] Optionally, the time domain unit: SFN mod sc-mcch-RepetitionPeriod=sc-mcch-Offset+(sc-mcch-Repetition Period)
number
[0297] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when a network side device transmits control information for n multicast and / or broadcast services every t time domain units within a repetition period of the control information for multicast and / or broadcast services, a terminal can derive the appearance time of the SC-MCCH of the corresponding group based on the ID number of the different groups, so that it only receives at the appearance time of the SC-MCCH and does not need to receive at other times.
[0298] The time domain unit may be a radio frame.
[0299] Optionally, receiving, from the network side device, control information of n multicast services and / or broadcast services transmitted every t time domain units within a repetition period of the control information of the multicast service and / or broadcast service, receiving first information transmitted from the network side device; and receiving control information for n multicast and / or broadcast services at a second transmission time, wherein the first information is used to indicate the second transmission time, and the second transmission time is a transmission time within a corresponding time domain unit of the control information for the n multicast and / or broadcast services.
[0300] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal further obtains specific time slots and / or symbols that need to be monitored in a radio frame that needs to be monitored. The specific PDCCH monitoring time slot (Monitoring-symbols-PDCCH-within-slot) within a radio frame may indicate the first time symbol in a control resource set (control resource set) within a PDCCH monitoring time slot.
[0301] If one Monitoring-periodicity-PDCCH-slot is 2, then each slot has 8 PDCCH monitoring occasions (MO). Specifically, the RRC can define the starting OFDM time symbol and the specific symbols that need to be monitored. For example, if 001111011100000111101111000, then symbols #2, #3, #4, #5, #7, #8, #9, and #10 need to be monitored. Or, If one Monitoring-periodicity-PDCCH-slot is 2, there are four PDCCH monitoring occasions in each slot, and the symbols in the first slot that need to be monitored are #2, 3, 4, and 5, and the symbols in the second slot that need to be monitored are #7, 8, 9, and 10. Specifically, the RRC can define the starting OFDM time symbol and the specific symbol that needs to be monitored (e.g., 00111100000000000001111000).
[0302] Optionally, the first information is: information for indicating a start time of the second transmission period; information indicating a duration of the second transmission period; and information for indicating a first offset amount, the first offset amount being an offset amount between the second transmission time and a position of the RMSI of an SSB.
[0303] Specifically, a specific monitoring occasion within one radio frame can be determined by defining a start symbol and duration. Here, the duration can be defined in CORESET-time-duration (control resource set duration). For example, the start symbols are #2 and #7, and the duration is four symbols. Alternatively, by defining an offset amount from the position of the SSB RMSI, the position of the SC-MCCH can be derived based on the period and position information of the SSB transmitted by RRC.
[0304] Similarly, this method also applies to reading the information of the SC-PTM by the UE in idle and inactive states.
[0305] As shown in FIG. 10, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of a resource configuration method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to a network side device and includes the following step 101:
[0306] Step 101: Send setting information to the terminal, the setting information is used to indicate first symbol information and / or second symbol information in one time slot, the first symbol is a symbol for transmitting unicast information, and the second symbol is a symbol for transmitting multicast information and / or broadcast information; the first symbol information is the number of time symbols and / or the number of PRBs occupied by the first symbol; The second symbol information is the number of time symbols and / or the number of PRBs occupied by the second symbol.
[0307] Optionally, the configuration information is further used to indicate that one column of reference signals has been inserted every y symbols in the time slot, and / or the configuration information is further used to indicate that one reference signal has been inserted every x subcarriers in the frequency domain corresponding to the time slot, the reference signals being reference signals used for multicast and / or broadcast.
[0308] The reference signal may be an SSB or a set of SSBs of a cell, or may be an SSB or a set of SSBs shared by a multicast and / or broadcast area, and / or Alternatively, the reference signal may be a unified CSI-RS or a set of CSI-RS provided to terminals in one multicast and / or broadcast group, or may be a shared CSI-RS or a set of CSI-RS for one multicast and / or broadcast area.
[0309] Optionally, information of said reference signal needs to be exchanged between different network nodes; the x and the y are positive integers, the x is determined based on a subcarrier spacing, and the y is determined based on a subcarrier spacing; the unicast information includes at least one of a reference signal, a control signal, and data corresponding to the unicast; the multicast information includes at least one of a reference signal, a control signal, and data corresponding to the multicast; The broadcast information includes at least one of a reference signal, control signaling, and data corresponding to the broadcast.
[0310] Optionally, the x and y are positive integers, and the x is determined based on a subcarrier spacing, and the y is further determined based on measurement accuracy.
[0311] In current MBMS systems, MCCH messages can only be transmitted in Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframes. MBSFN subframes are dedicated subframes that can transmit only one data block. A UE can obtain the MCCH message by reading the MBSFN subframe at the corresponding time. Because an MBSFN subframe can only transmit one data block, the data block can be used to transmit the MCCH message or other data other than the MCCH message. However, if the MCCH message cannot occupy all the resources of the MBSFN subframe, other data cannot be transmitted in the MBSFN subframe, resulting in resource waste.
[0312] MBSFN is divided into two types: dedicated carrier MBSFN and unicast mixed carrier MBSFN. The design of the MBSFN reference signal (RS) has its own unique requirements. In a mixed carrier MBSFN system, most resources in one radio frame are generally used for unicast services, with only individual subframes used for MBSFN services. A typical scenario is an isolated MBSFN subframe inserted within consecutive unicast subframes. As a result, a terminal receiving this MBSFN subframe cannot perform interpolated channel estimation between RSs in adjacent subframes, as it does when receiving a unicast signal. Therefore, the MBSFN RS design must be able to support channel estimation within an isolated subframe. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, this disclosure breaks away from the LTE approach of using an MBSFN subframe as the minimum design unit and instead uses an MBSFN time slot as the minimum design unit. This is because 5G NR supports multiple subcarrier spacings, but the lengths of the radio frame and subframe are the same for different subcarrier spacing settings. The radio frame length is 10 ms, and the subframe length is 1 ms. The number of time slots included in each subframe is different. In the case of a normal cyclic prefix (CP), the number of symbols included in each time slot is the same, and all are 14. That is, the number of time symbols included in one NR subframe is different, but the number of time symbols included in each time slot is the same. Of the 14 time symbols, b time symbols are extracted to transmit unicast PDCCH, CSI-RS, and demodulation reference signal (DM-RS), and then 14-b time symbols are used to transmit the reference signal, control channel, and data channel of MBMSFN. b can be determined based on the measurement accuracy requirements, the bandwidth sizes of different frequency bands, and the multicast service load.Furthermore, the positions of the b time symbols may be fixedly defined, for example, as the previous b symbols, the later b symbols, or the middle b symbols, or specific positions may be indicated by signaling. MBSFN-SlotConfig::=SEQUENCE radioframeAllocationPeriod ENUMERATED {n1, n2, n4, n8, n16, n32}, radioframeAllocationOffset INTEGER (0..7), slotAllocation CHOICE { oneFrame BIT STRING (SIZE(6)) of symbolAllocation, fourFrames BIT STRING (SIZE(24) of symbolAllocation) } }-- ASN1STOP
[0313] When a terminal in a neighboring cell measures the neighboring cell, it may measure only the unicast reference signal of these b time symbols.
[0314] The first and second symbols in an MBSFN subframe typically employ CP and reserve unicast pilots, which can be used to transmit channels such as PDCCH, Physical Control Format Indicator Channel (PCFICH), and Physical Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel (PHICH). The other symbols in the subframe are used for MBSFN signal transmission.
[0315] Meanwhile, according to a specific subcarrier spacing, one MBSFN reference signal (RS) is inserted into every x subcarriers in the frequency domain, and one row of RSs is inserted into every y OFDM symbols in the time domain.
[0316] Due to differences in measurement accuracy, SCS, and PRB width, the RS insertion intervals for different SCSs are different. The wider the SCS interval, the lower the RS density. The subcarrier reference signal density is also taken into account for time symbols. The RS can play a role in channel demodulation for 5G MBMS.
[0317] The integration of multiple cells significantly increases the number of multipaths, making the frequency selectivity of MBSFN signals much greater than that of unicast signals, necessitating a greater RS frequency domain density. However, the time symbol durations of different subcarrier spacings are also different.
[0318] Therefore, x, y, and b all correspond to the numerical values of the subcarrier spacing. The correspondence may be determined in the form of a table; Or configured by RRC message / MAC CE / PDCCH signaling, Or, after defining multiple correspondence tables and corresponding index numbers, configure the index numbers through RRC message / MAC CE / PDCCH signaling; Alternatively, multiple correspondence tables and corresponding index numbers are configured through RRC signaling, and then the index numbers are configured through MAC CE / PDCCH signaling.
[0319] As shown in FIG. 11, FIG. 11 is a flowchart of a resource configuration method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to a terminal and includes the following step 111:
[0320] Step 111: Receive the setting information transmitted from the network side device; The configuration information transmitted to the terminal is used to indicate first symbol information and / or second symbol information in one time slot, the first symbol being a symbol for transmitting unicast information, and the second symbol being a symbol for transmitting multicast information and / or broadcast information; the first symbol information is the number of time symbols and / or the number of PRBs occupied by the first symbol; The second symbol information is the number of time symbols and / or the number of PRBs occupied by the second symbol.
[0321] Optionally, the configuration information is further used to indicate that one column of reference signals has been inserted every y symbols in the time slot, and / or the configuration information is further used to indicate that one reference signal has been inserted every x subcarriers in the frequency domain corresponding to the time slot, the reference signals being reference signals used for multicast and / or broadcast.
[0322] Alternatively, the reference signal may be an SSB or a set of SSBs of a cell, or may be an SSB or a set of SSBs shared by a multicast and / or broadcast area, and / or Alternatively, the reference signal may be a unified CSI-RS or a set of CSI-RS provided to terminals in one multicast and / or broadcast group, or may be a shared CSI-RS or a set of CSI-RS for one multicast and / or broadcast area.
[0323] Optionally, information of said reference signal needs to be exchanged between different network nodes; the x and the y are positive integers, the x is determined based on a subcarrier spacing, and the y is determined based on a subcarrier spacing; the unicast information includes at least one of a reference signal, a control signal, and data corresponding to the unicast; the multicast information includes at least one of a reference signal, a control signal, and data corresponding to the multicast; The broadcast information includes at least one of a reference signal, control signaling, and data corresponding to the broadcast.
[0324] Optionally, the x and y are positive integers, and the x is determined based on a subcarrier spacing, and the y is further determined based on measurement accuracy.
[0325] As shown in FIG. 12, FIG. 12 is a flowchart of an information measurement method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to a terminal and includes the following step 121:
[0326] Step 121: Receive resource setting information transmitted from a network-side device, which is resource setting information for a multicast service and / or a broadcast service of a neighboring cell.
[0327] Step 122: Measure or not measure the resource corresponding to the resource setting information.
[0328] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, MBSFN configuration information is exchanged between base stations and / or cells, or the base stations and / or cells obtain MBSFN configuration information of neighboring cells from a network management unit. Then, the base stations and / or cells notify the terminal of the MBSFN configuration information of neighboring cells through signaling, thereby eliminating the need to transmit unicast signals and channel information in MBSFN unit resource blocks. The terminal ignores these MBSFN resources when measuring the signal quality of neighboring cells, or only measures the MBSFN resources if the terminal has an MBMS service.
[0329] Optionally, the step of measuring or not measuring a resource corresponding to the resource setting information includes: If the terminal only has a unicast service, not measuring the resource corresponding to the resource configuration information; If the terminal only has a multicast service and / or a broadcast service, measuring resources corresponding to the resource configuration information; or When the terminal has both a unicast service and a multicast service and / or a broadcast service, measuring resources corresponding to the resource configuration information.
[0330] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal can measure the corresponding MBSFN resource for a specific MBMS service. If the UE has a unicast service, the UE will ignore this MBSFN resource when measuring the signal quality of neighboring cells. If the UE has not only a unicast service but also an MBMS service, it will report measurement information for the two types of resources separately.
[0331] A unicast service is set on a dedicated activated BWP, and a multicast service is set on the initial BWP or on a BWP that has an association relationship with the initial BWP. A system message indicates the association relationship between this BWP that transmits the multicast service and the initial BWP, such as the offset relationship on the corset and search space.
