Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] TECHNICAL FIELD Embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communications, and more particularly to a communication method and a communication device. [Background technology]
[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202211105828.4, entitled "COMMUNICATION METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS," filed on September 9, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0003] Atmospheric ducts are natural phenomena that occur under certain meteorological and geographical conditions. In the troposphere of the Earth's atmosphere, there is a layer where temperature inversions or water vapor decrease rapidly with height. In this layer, super-refractive propagation of electromagnetic waves can occur, and most electromagnetic radiation is limited to this layer. This is similar to electromagnetic wave propagation in ducts. Atmospheric ducts usually occur in the boundary atmosphere below a height of 300 m. The propagation loss of electromagnetic waves in atmospheric ducts is extremely small. Therefore, electromagnetic waves can propagate over very long distances, and the propagation distance of electromagnetic waves is much greater than the normal radiation range.
[0004] In a time division duplex (TDD) system, uplink and downlink signals are time-division multiplexed, and a guard period (GP) is set to prevent downlink signals from interfering with uplink signals. The downlink direction is from the base station to the terminal, and the transmitted signal is the downlink signal. The uplink direction is from the terminal to the base station, and the transmitted signal is the uplink signal.
[0005] When atmospheric ducting occurs, the downlink signal from the remote base station still maintains high strength after being transmitted over extremely long distances of tens or hundreds of kilometers. The propagation delay of the downlink signal exceeds the duration of the guard period and falls within the reception window of the uplink signal from the local base station. The downlink signal from the remote base station causes severe interference to the uplink signal from the local base station. This interference is sometimes called remote interference.
[0006] Therefore, how to reduce the impact of remote interference on the uplink signal of a local base station has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The present application provides a communication method and a communication device that helps reduce interference.
[0008] According to a first aspect, there is provided a communication method, which may be performed by an access network device or by a module or unit in the access network device, which for ease of explanation will hereinafter be collectively referred to as the access network device.
[0009] The method includes:
[0010] The access network device determines first information when remote interference is detected, and the first information is configured to shift from a first time domain resource to a second time domain resource. , SRS , The second time domain resource is used to configure a time domain resource, and the strength of the remote interference on the second time domain resource is less than the strength of the remote interference on the first time domain resource, and the access network device sends first information to the terminal.
[0011] Based on the above method, when remote interference is detected, the access network device may move an important sounding reference signal (SRS) to a location with lower interference, so that the remote interference to the SRS is reduced, and after the interference to the SRS channel is reduced, the BF beam becomes more accurate, which can improve the beam signal-to-noise ratio of the terminal, improve performance such as downlink throughput, and help reduce the impact of remote interference on the uplink transmission of the access network device.
[0012] Regarding the first aspect, in a possible implementation, before the access network device sends the first information to the terminal, the method further includes: the access network device sets a first cell in which the terminal is located to a barred state, and the access network device moves all terminals in the first cell to a second cell. Sending the first information to the terminal by the access network device includes: when the terminal re-accesses the first cell, the access network device sends the first information to the terminal.
[0013] The different terminals may correspond to the same second cell or different second cells.
[0014] In existing remote interference avoidance technologies, there is no method for dynamically adjusting the SRS channel and another channel based on interference, and the configuration adjustment may be performed only based on the channel structure. In addition, for network channel adjustment, in conventional technologies, the two channel structures cannot coexist in the same cell, and a new cell must be established after the cell resources are entirely deleted to achieve the purpose of adjusting the channel structure. Based on the above method, the channel may be adjusted online after the user moves, and then a solution is used in which the user is automatically returned based on mobility, so that the channel is dynamically adjusted online based on interference to avoid remote interference.
[0015] With respect to the first aspect or any implementation of the first aspect, in another possible implementation, the second cell is a neighboring cell of the first cell, and / or the second cell and the first cell are cells of different standards.
[0016] Regarding the first aspect or any implementation of the first aspect, in another possible implementation, the first symbol of the second time domain resource is adjacent to the last symbol of a third time domain resource used for transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and the first symbol of the second time domain resource is used for transmitting a first SRS, where the first SRS is an SRS for which antennas are not switched when the terminal switches from the PUSCH to the first SRS.
[0017] Based on the above method, when the second time domain resource is adjacent to a third time domain resource used for transmitting the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH, the access network device may preferentially allocate an SRS that does not require antenna switching on a first symbol (also referred to as an initial symbol) that is of the second time domain resource and adjacent to the third time domain resource, to avoid reserving antenna switching time and reduce resource overhead.
[0018] Regarding the first aspect or any implementation of the first aspect, in another possible implementation, the first SRS is used to determine a codebook (CB)-based PUSCH transmission mode.
[0019] Regarding the first aspect or any implementation of the first aspect, in another possible implementation, the method further includes: the access network device sends second information to the terminal based on a strength of remote interference on a fourth time domain resource, the second information being used to schedule the fourth time domain resource, where the fourth time domain resource includes the first time domain resource and a guard period symbol in a slot in which the first time domain resource is located.
[0020] Based on the above method, the access network device may transmit a PUSCH by using a fourth time domain resource based on the strength of remote interference, which may help improve PUSCH resource utilization and improve uplink performance.
[0021] Regarding the first aspect or any implementation of the first aspect, in another possible implementation, the first time domain resource is after a guard period symbol. When the strength of remote interference on the last symbol in the guard period symbol is greater than a preset threshold, the second information is used to schedule the terminal to skip transmission of the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on the first time domain resource and the guard period symbol; when the strength of remote interference on the last symbol in the guard period symbol is less than the preset threshold and the strength of remote interference on the first symbol in the guard period symbol is greater than the preset threshold, the second information is used to schedule the terminal for transmission of the PUSCH on the first time domain resource and skip transmission of the PUSCH on the guard period symbol; or when the strength of remote interference on the first symbol in the guard period symbol is less than the preset threshold, the second information is used to schedule the terminal for transmission of the PUSCH on the first time domain resource and on a symbol after the second symbol in the guard period symbol.
[0022] Based on the above method, the access network device may be used for transmitting the PUSCH based on the strength of remote interference, and may flexibly adjust the resources in the fourth time domain resource, so that the uplink resources can be maximally used to improve PUSCH resource utilization and improve uplink performance.
[0023] Regarding the first aspect or any implementation of the first aspect, in another possible implementation, the method further includes: the access network device sends second information to the terminal based on a distance between the terminal and the access network device, the second information being used to schedule a fourth time domain resource, where the fourth time domain resource includes the first time domain resource and a guard period symbol in a slot in which the first time domain resource is located.
[0024] The remote interference has the greatest impact on the far-point user and the least impact on the near-point user. Based on the above method, the access network device may transmit the PUSCH by using the fourth time domain resource based on the distance between the terminal and the access network device, which can help improve PUSCH resource utilization and improve uplink performance.
[0025] Regarding the first aspect or any implementation of the first aspect, in another possible implementation, when the terminal is a near-point terminal, the second information is used to schedule the terminal for transmission of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on the first time domain resource and on some of the guard period symbols; when the terminal is a mid-point terminal, the second information is used to schedule the terminal for transmission of a PUSCH on the first time domain resource and to skip transmission of the PUSCH on the guard period symbols; or when the terminal is a far-point terminal, the second information is used to schedule the terminal to skip transmission of a PUSCH on the first time domain resource and on the guard period symbols.
[0026] Based on the above method, the access network device may be used for transmitting the PUSCH based on the distance between the terminal and the access network device, and may flexibly adjust the resources in the fourth time domain resource, so that the uplink resources can be maximized to improve PUSCH resource utilization and improve uplink performance.

[0063] As mentioned in the background art, when remote interference occurs, the downlink signal of the remote base station can cause severe interference to the uplink signal of the local base station. A solution for avoiding remote interference is as follows: when the local base station detects remote interference from the remote base station, the local base station sends a remote interference management reference signal (RIM-RS) 1 to the remote base station; after receiving RIM-RS 1, the remote base station reduces the amount of symbols used for the downlink to eliminate interference to the local base station and sends RIM-RS 2 to the local base station; and the local base station continues to send RIM-RS 1 until RIM-RS 2 is no longer received from the remote base station. In this way, the remote base station can continuously adjust the amount of symbols used for the downlink based on RIM-RS 1 until the local base station is no longer affected. It can be seen that current solutions for avoiding remote interference rely on mutual detection of RIM-RS between the remote base station and the local base station, and the remote base station reduces the amount of symbols sent on the downlink to eliminate the impact on the local base station.
[0064] First, the above solutions rely heavily on cooperation between the remote and local base stations to enable mutual detection and identify remote interference. In cross-country / cross-vendor device scenarios, negotiation is difficult. For example, in multiple countries outside of China, mutual interference can easily occur. However, spectrum allocation varies, making it difficult to coordinate the interests of operators, and interference detection and avoidance cannot be implemented. In addition, in asymmetric and non-reciprocal interference scenarios, the RIM-RS used for interference detection may not be transmitted. As a result, interference avoidance may not be triggered. In addition, when interference increases, the RIM-RS capacity may be affected by the interfering signal. As a result, the RIM-RS cannot be correctly demodulated, affecting the probability of detecting the interference source.
[0065] Due to the above problems, the present application provides a communication method and a communication apparatus for reducing the impact of remote interference on uplink transmissions of an access network device.
[0066] The communication method provided in this application is described below.
[0067] FIG. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a communication method 200 according to the present application.
[0068] The method 200 includes at least some of the following:
[0069] Step 201: The access network device determines first information when remote interference is detected.
[0070] The first information is used to configure a time domain resource of a sounding reference signal (SRS) to move from a first time domain resource to a second time domain resource, and a strength of remote interference on the second time domain resource is less than a strength of remote interference on the first time domain resource.
[0071] In other words, when remote interference is detected, the access network device may move the SRS to a time domain resource with low or no interference.
[0072] The manner of detecting remote interference by the access network device is not limited in this application. For example, the interference level and the characteristics of the uplink symbols of the access network device are determined, and when the interference state changes from no interference state to interference state, the interference characteristics exhibit a "gradient" characteristic, that is, the interference level of the left symbol is higher than the interference level of the right symbol, thereby obtaining a determination result of remote interference to the access network device. The detection process can be implemented based on an algorithm in the access network device. Alternatively, whether the interference changes can be determined manually based on statistical results regarding the uplink symbols.
[0073] Step 202: The access network device sends first information to the terminal.
[0074] In response, the terminal receives the first information sent by the access network device.
[0075] In other words, the access network device reconfigures the time domain location of the SRS for the terminal.
[0076] Based on the above method, when remote interference is detected, the access network device may move the important SRS to a location with low interference, thereby reducing the remote interference to the SRS. After the interference to the SRS channel is reduced, the BF beam becomes more accurate, which can improve the beam signal-to-noise ratio of the terminal, improve performance such as downlink throughput, and help reduce the impact of remote interference on the uplink transmission of the access network device.
[0077] Optionally, in some other implementations of the present application, the method 200 may further include: before the access network device sends the first information to the terminal, the access network device sets a first cell in which the terminal is located to a barred state, and moves all terminals in the first cell to a second cell.
[0078] Step 202 includes: When the terminal re-accesses the first cell, the access network device sends first information to the terminal.
[0079] Existing remote interference avoidance technologies lack a method for dynamically adjusting the SRS channel and another channel based on interference, and the configuration adjustment may be performed only based on the channel structure. In addition, for network channel adjustment, in conventional technologies, the two channel structures cannot coexist in the same cell, and a new cell must be established after the cell resources are entirely deleted to achieve the purpose of adjusting the channel structure. Based on the above method, the channel may be adjusted online after the user moves, and then a solution is used in which the user automatically returns based on mobility, whereby the channel is dynamically adjusted online based on interference to avoid remote interference.
[0080] Optionally, the second cell is a neighboring cell of the first cell, and / or the second cell and the first cell are cells of different standards.
[0081] Optionally, the first symbol of the second time domain resource is adjacent to the last symbol of the third time domain resource used for transmitting the PUSCH, and the first symbol of the second time domain resource is used for transmitting a first SRS, and the first SRS is an SRS for which antennas are not switched when the terminal switches from the PUSCH to the first SRS.
[0082] Optionally, the first SRS is used to determine a codebook CB-based PUSCH transmission mode.
[0083] Based on the above method, when the second time domain resource is adjacent to a third time domain resource used for transmitting the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH, the access network device may preferentially allocate an SRS that does not require antenna switching on a first symbol (also referred to as an initial symbol) that is of the second time domain resource and adjacent to the third time domain resource, to avoid reserving antenna switching time and reduce resource overhead.
[0084] Optionally, in some other implementations of the present application, the method 200 may further include the following step: Step 203: The access network device sends second information to the terminal, where the second information is used to schedule a fourth time domain resource, the fourth time domain resource including the first time domain resource and a guard period symbol in the slot in which the first time domain resource is located. In this way, the access network device reuses the fourth time domain resource for transmitting a PUSCH to improve PUSCH resource utilization and help improve uplink performance.
[0085] In a possible implementation, step 203 includes: the access network device sends second information to the terminal based on the strength of remote interference on the fourth time domain resource, In this way, the access network device may transmit the PUSCH by using the fourth time domain resource based on the strength of remote interference, which may help to improve PUSCH resource utilization and improve uplink performance.
[0086] In the example, the first time domain resource is after the guard period symbol. When the strength of remote interference on the last symbol in the guard period symbol is greater than a preset threshold, the second information is used to schedule the terminal to skip transmission of the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on the first time domain resource and the guard period symbol; when the strength of remote interference on the last symbol in the guard period symbol is less than the preset threshold and the strength of remote interference on the first symbol in the guard period symbol is greater than the preset threshold, the second information is used to schedule the terminal for transmission of the PUSCH on the first time domain resource and skip transmission of the PUSCH on the guard period symbol; or when the strength of remote interference on the first symbol in the guard period symbol is less than the preset threshold, the second information is used to schedule the terminal for transmission of the PUSCH on the first time domain resource and on the symbol after the second symbol in the guard period symbol. Note that in the above example, only three levels of utilization of the fourth time domain resource are used as an example, and more or fewer levels can be obtained through division.
[0087] Optionally, the first symbol may be any symbol other than the first and last symbols in the guard period symbols.
[0088] In this way, the access network device may be used for transmitting the PUSCH based on the strength of remote interference and may flexibly adjust the resources in the fourth time domain resource, so that the uplink resources can be maximized to improve PUSCH resource utilization and improve uplink performance.
[0089] Optionally, in some other implementations of the present application, the method 200 may further include step 203.
[0090] In another possible implementation, step 203 includes: the access network device sends second information to the terminal based on the distance between the terminal and the access network device. Remote interference has the greatest impact on the far-point user and the least impact on the near-point user. Based on the above method, the access network device may transmit a PUSCH by using a fourth time domain resource based on the distance between the terminal and the access network device, which can help improve PUSCH resource utilization and improve uplink performance.
[0091] In the example, when the terminal is a near-point terminal, the second information is used to schedule the terminal for transmission of a PUSCH on the first time domain resource and on some of the guard period symbols, when the terminal is a mid-point terminal, the second information is used to schedule the terminal for transmission of a PUSCH on the first time domain resource and skip transmission of the PUSCH on the guard period symbols, or when the terminal is a far-point terminal, the second information is used to schedule the terminal to skip transmission of a PUSCH on the first time domain resource and on the guard period symbols. It should be noted that in the above example, only three levels of utilization of the fourth time domain resource are used as an example, and more or fewer levels can be obtained through division.
[0092] Based on the above method, the access network device may be used for transmitting the PUSCH based on the distance between the terminal and the access network device, and may flexibly adjust the resources in the fourth time domain resource, so that the uplink resources can be maximized to improve PUSCH resource utilization and improve uplink performance.
[0093] Optionally, before the access network device sends the second information to the terminal based on a distance between the terminal and the access network device, the method 200 further includes: the access network device determines the second information based on a strength of remote interference on a fourth time domain resource.
[0094] The communication method in this application will be described below with reference to a specific scenario. In the following, GAP symbol or G symbol represents a guard period symbol, U symbol represents an uplink symbol, and D symbol represents a downlink symbol. The interference may be a remote interference, and the base station may correspond to the above access network device.
[0095] This application is mainly intended to solve the problem of how to actively avoid interference through interference identification at the interfering end and design a manner of dynamically moving the SRS based on interference in a remote interference scenario when interference avoidance is performed without relying on mutual detection between two parties, as well as how the interfering end should identify and dynamically adjust the channel location of the SRS based on interference, and how to provide a solution for coordinating with other channels based on the optimized SRS channel location. Figure 3 is a diagram of the interference strength of the GAP / SRS / U symbol in an NR remote interference scenario. As shown in Figure 3, the S slot is the weakest to interference and suffers the greatest interference impact.
[0096] In this application, through remote interference identification, the SRS is dynamically moved to a location far away from the interference, and the GAP symbol and the original SRS symbol in the S slot are dynamically used for PUSCH scheduling based on the interference level of the S slot.
[0097] The communication method in the above embodiment of Figure 2 will be described in detail below with reference to the specific embodiments of Figures 4 to 12. Steps in the embodiments of Figures 4 to 12 and the embodiment of Figure 2 may also be cross-referenced, and terms and concepts may also be cross-referenced.
[0098] FIG. 4 is a diagram of active remote interference avoidance according to the present application.
[0099] As shown in Figure 4, D slots 5 and 6 of the remote base station may interfere with the S slot of the local base station. In this case, the local base station may move the SRS from the original S slot to U slot 9 to avoid the interference of D slots 5 and 6 of the remote base station with the SRS. Note that Figure 4 presents a diagram of an uplink-downlink configuration with an 8:2 configuration.
[0100] 5 shows detailed diagrams of the channels included in the S slot and U slot after expansion, before and after SRS migration. In the default state of FIG. 5, in the diagram of the channels included in the S slot and U slot before SRS migration, it can be seen that the SRS is transmitted in the S slot. In the SRS migration state, in the diagram of the channels included in the S slot and U slot after SRS migration, it can be seen that the SRS is transmitted in the U slot.
[0101] Embodiment 1 The following describes the overall design and processing of the SRS move-and-avoid solution triggered based on remote interference identification.
[0102] (1) The design and processing of the solution based on interference identification is shown in the following figure.
[0103] In this application, the base station needs to identify remote interference on the UL symbol and adjust the channel configuration style of the cell based on the interference. However, for online users in the cell, it is impossible to schedule the two channel structures shown in Figure 5 in one cell at the same time.
[0104] Therefore, the present application is designed to design a migration process shown in Figure 6. Based on the migration process of the present application, it can be ensured that the online user is not directly interrupted, but the user is redirected and moved, and then the user performs re-access after resource adjustment is used for implementation.
[0105] FIG. 6 is a diagram of the SRS migration process according to the present application.
[0106] Step 1: Detect and determine interference. At the interference end, the interference level and the characteristics of the uplink symbols of the gNodeB are determined. If the interference state changes from no interference to interference, the interference characteristics exhibit a "gradient" characteristic, i.e., the interference level of the left symbol is higher than that of the right symbol, thereby obtaining a determination result of remote interference to the gNodeB. The detection and determination can be implemented based on a gNodeB algorithm. Alternatively, whether the interference changes can be determined manually based on statistical results regarding the uplink symbols.
[0107] When it is manually determined whether interference changes (corresponding to a branch where automatic interference determination is not implemented), the SRS resources may be manually reconfigured (e.g., through a network management device) if remote interference occurs and is subsequently manually determined. When detection and determination may be implemented based on a gNodeB algorithm (corresponding to a branch where automatic interference determination is implemented), steps 2 to 4 below may then be implemented.
[0108] Step 2: Barring the cell and releasing online users. The cell enters a barring state and new users are not allowed to access / be handed over to the cell. All online users begin to release in the cell and users are handed over or redirected to a neighboring cell / users are switched or redirected to a neighboring standard to prepare for channel adjustment in the following steps.
[0109] Step 3: Reconfigure the channel structure, such as SRS channel and location. The SRS is dynamically adjusted to the corresponding location.
[0110] Step 4: Release the barred state of the cell and allow the user to re-access the cell. After the channel structure is adjusted, the cell is released from the barred state and the user is automatically returned to the cell based on their mobility. In this case, the adjustment is complete.
[0111] In this way, the present application provides a method for avoiding remote interference by moving the SRS channel to a location with low interference through interference identification and then moving the SRS after the interference is identified to reduce interference to the SRS. After the interference to the SRS channel is reduced, the BF beam becomes more accurate, improving the UE's beam signal-to-noise ratio and improving performance such as downlink throughput. The downlink throughput (NR downlink throughput) obtained before and after the method of the present application is applied is shown in FIG. 7. It can be seen that after the method of the present application is applied, the downlink throughput can be essentially the same as the downlink throughput obtained when there is no interference to the SRS.
[0112] Embodiment 2 Based on embodiment 1, embodiment 2 provides a solution in which when SRS is allocated in the U slot, no switching symbols are reserved for antenna selection terminals between PUSCH and SRS.
[0113] In particular, during switching between PUSCH and SRS, antenna switching may occur, and antenna switching time needs to be reserved; in the conventional solution, one symbol needs to be reserved for protection, as shown in Fig. 8. In the solution of embodiment 2, CB SRS is preferentially allocated on the initial symbol. In this way, the antenna selection terminal does not need to reserve antenna switching time during switching between PUSCH and SRS, and thus the overhead of one symbol can be reduced.
[0114] In the prior art, SRS and PUSCH are in the same slot. For antenna-selecting terminals, dynamic AS allocation is performed on different symbols, so one symbol needs to be reserved for antenna switching protection during AS allocation. Based on embodiment 2, the AS / CB SRS allocation pattern is optimized, and CB SRS is preferentially allocated on the initial symbol adjacent to PUSCH, so that guard symbols for antenna switching do not need to be fixedly reserved. Based on embodiment 2, antenna-selecting UEs do not need to reserve antenna switching time for switching between PUSCH and SRS, reducing the overhead of one symbol. The amount of symbols occupied by PUSCH is reduced by 1, and the overhead is reduced by approximately 2% to 4% (depending on different configurations).
[0115] Embodiment 3 Based on embodiment 1 and / or embodiment 2, embodiment 3 provides a method for scheduling a PUSCH in an S slot based on interference after an SRS moves from an S slot to a U slot.
[0116] Possible modes are in particular:
[0117] After the SRS movement, the SRS occupies the GAP symbols in the S slots to schedule U. However, interference may affect some symbols, and only low-interference symbols may be occupied.
[0118] For example, there may be three configurations shown in Figure 9 for the symbols in the S slot in Embodiment 3. In the configuration shown in the first row, G symbols 7 and 8 and the original SRS symbol may be occupied for transmitting uplink signals, and this configuration may be referred to as the "highest level." In the configuration shown in the second row, the original SRS symbol may be occupied for transmitting uplink signals, and this configuration may be referred to as the "intermediate level." In the configuration shown in the third row, the G symbol and the original SRS symbol cannot be occupied for transmitting uplink signals, and this configuration may be referred to as the "shortest level." In the case of low interference, the configuration shown in the first row may be used, in the case of partial interference, the configuration shown in the intermediate row may be used, and in the case of high interference, the configuration shown in the third row may be used.
[0119] To achieve the effect shown in FIG. 3, the base station may perform the process shown in FIG.
[0120] FIG. 10 is a flowchart for flexibly constructing the original SRS symbols and G symbols by the base station.
[0121] As shown in Figure 10, the base station performs interference detection on the symbols in the S slot and performs periodic reporting. When the power of the last G symbol (i.e., symbol 9) in the S slot is equal to or greater than a threshold, it is determined that the "shortest level" should be used. Alternatively, when the power of the last G symbol in the S slot is less than the threshold, it may further determine whether the power of the second G symbol (i.e., symbol 7) in the S slot is less than the threshold. When the power of the second G symbol (i.e., symbol 7) in the S slot is equal to or greater than the threshold, it is determined that the "medium level" should be used. Alternatively, when the power of the second G symbol (i.e., symbol 7) in the S slot is less than the threshold, it is determined that the "highest level" should be used. After the configuration of the symbols in the S slot is determined, the S slot can be scheduled for the level notification module based on the corresponding level (i.e., the level takes effect).
[0122] Another possible mode of realization is in particular the following.
[0123] As shown in Figure 11, remote interference is more likely to affect higher-layer beams and has a smaller impact on lower-layer beams than on higher-layer beams. However, near-point users usually occupy lower-layer beams, and far-point users usually occupy higher-layer beams. Therefore, remote interference has a smaller impact on near-point users and a larger impact on far-point users. When S slots are interfered with, far-point users are most impacted, and near-point users can still be scheduled. Near-point users are expected to fully utilize high-interference symbols.
[0124] Based on this, the base station may determine the configuration of symbols in S slots based on the distance between the user and the base station. For example, for a near-point user, the "highest level" shown in Figure 9 may be used, for a mid-point user, the "middle level" shown in Figure 9 may be used, and for a far-point user, the "shortest level" may be used.
[0125] For example, Figure 12 shows an example in which a base station may determine the configuration of symbols in S slots based on the distance between the user and the base station. As shown in Figure 12, the "highest level" shown in Figure 9 may be used for a near-point large packet user, the "middle level" shown in Figure 9 may be used for a mid-point large packet user, and the "shortest level" may be used for a far-point small packet user.
[0126] In this way, based on embodiment 3, the length of the symbols in the S slots can be adjusted more flexibly based on the interference information and based on different degrees of interference, so that the uplink symbols can be used to the fullest extent to improve the PUSCH resources and improve the uplink performance.
