Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to the technology field of communications. [Background technology]

[0002] Compared to conventional 3G and 4G systems, 5G systems can offer wider bandwidth and higher data rates, and can support a wider variety of devices and vertical services.

[0003] Therefore, in addition to the conventional telecommunications frequency spectrum, 5G systems will also be deployed in new frequency spectra, and the frequencies in these new spectrums are significantly higher than the conventional telecommunications frequency spectrum used by 3G and 4G systems. For example, 5G systems can be deployed in the millimeter-wave band (28GHz, 38GHz, 60GHz and above, etc.).

[0004] According to the laws of radio signal propagation, the higher the frequency of the carrier in which the signal is located, the more severe the fading the signal encounters during propagation. Therefore, in actual deployments, 5G systems, especially those deployed in the millimeter-wave frequency band, require even more advanced cell coverage improvement technologies than conventional 3G and 4G systems. Thus, the problem that needs to be solved is how to more effectively improve the cell coverage of 5G systems.

[0005] Furthermore, the above-mentioned introduction of background art is intended to clearly and completely explain the technical proposal of the present invention and to make it easier for those skilled in the art to understand. These technical proposals are described in the background art of the present invention and therefore should not be interpreted as being well known to those skilled in the art. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0006] To better address coverage issues in cellular mobile communication systems during deployment, employing RF relays (RF relays / repeaters) to amplify and forward communication signals between terminal and network equipment is a commonly used deployment method. RF relays are widely used in actual 3G and 4G system deployments. RF relays are typically devices that amplify and forward round-trip signals in the RF domain. In other words, RF relays are a type of non-regenerative relay node; they simply amplify and forward all signals they receive.

[0007] The inventors discovered the following: One viable solution to the coverage problems encountered during 5G system deployment is to enhance coverage by employing conventional RF transceivers. However, because the transceiver operation of conventional RF transceivers is not controlled by network equipment, its effect in amplifying and transmitting target signals may not be ideal, and it may cause significant interference to other equipment in the network, increasing system noise and interference levels and reducing network throughput. Specifically, taking antenna direction as an example, 5G systems employ more advanced and complex MIMO (Multi-Input Multiple-Output) technology compared to 2G, 3G, and 4G systems. In 5G systems, especially at relatively high carrier frequencies, directed antennas are fundamental components of network and terminal equipment, and beamforming technology-based signal transmission and reception are the basic signal transmission methods in 5G systems. The (analog) beam direction and width of network and terminal equipment can change dynamically due to factors such as changes in position (i.e., beam switching). However, conventional RF transceiver antennas cannot dynamically adjust their direction, and their beams are relatively wide. Therefore, the beam direction and beam width of their transmitting and receiving antennas cannot flexibly match the dynamic changes in the beam direction and width of the base station and terminal equipment. When such RF transceivers are deployed in a 5G system, on the one hand, their performance / effect in amplifying / enhancing the target signal is not significant because the beam direction and beam width of their transmitting and receiving antennas cannot match the dynamic changes in the beam direction and width of the transmitting and receiving antennas of network equipment and terminal equipment. On the other hand, because they employ a relatively wide transmitting beam, they may cause noticeable interference to other equipment (e.g., network equipment or terminal equipment) within a relatively wide range, potentially increasing the overall noise and interference level of the system and reducing network throughput.

[0008] 3GPP® Rel-18 proposes a network-controlled repeater (NCR) scheme to enhance NR coverage, which is used to transfer signals between network devices and terminal devices. Because the NCR can communicate directly with network devices via a control link, the network devices can assist / control the NCR's transfer operations.

[0009] The inventors have discovered the following: The problem awaiting resolution is how to control NCR transfer operations using aperiodic instructions, and in particular, how to instruct aperiodic transfer resources.

[0010] In view of at least one of the above-mentioned problems, embodiments of the present invention provide an information transmission method, an information reception method, a transfer device, and network equipment. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] According to one aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, a network device is provided, which is, A transmitting unit that transmits first configuration information and / or second configuration information and / or third configuration information relating to a first DCI format to a transceiver, wherein the first configuration information is used to set a time-domain resource list, and / or the second configuration information is used to set an RNTI for scrambling the first DCI format, and / or the third configuration information is used to set a search space for monitoring the first DCI format, The transmitting unit further transmits downlink control information to the transceiver using the first DCI format described above.

[0012] According to another aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, a transfer device is provided, which is, A receiving unit that receives first configuration information and / or second configuration information and / or third configuration information relating to a first DCI format, wherein the first configuration information is used to set a time-domain resource list, and / or the second configuration information is used to set an RNTI for scrambling the first DCI format, and / or the third configuration information is used to set a search space for monitoring the first DCI format, The receiving unit further receives downlink control information employing the first DCI format.

[0013] According to another aspect of the embodiment of the present invention, a communication system is provided which includes the transceiver and / or network equipment of the aforementioned aspect. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] The advantageous effects of the embodiments of the present invention are at least as follows: because instructions for the transceiver's access link beam and corresponding time-domain resources can be given by configuration information plus DCI, network equipment can control the transceiver's access link beam and corresponding time-domain resources, so that the access link beam / time-domain resources that the transceiver uses to forward (forward downlink / uplink signals) can be matched to the beam / time-domain resources of terminal equipment that receive / transmit signals. This improves the signal amplification / enhancement effect, saves power consumption of the transceiver, reduces interference to other devices in the network, and improves network throughput.

The first DCI format may be a newly introduced DCI format (e.g., DCI format 5_0), which is not used for scheduling PDSCH and / or PUSCH, and is unicast. However, embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and the DCI format may be an existing DCI format and / or for scheduling PDSCH and / or PUSCH, and / or is groupcast (multi-cast / broadcast).

[0042] In the embodiments of the present invention, “downlink control information of the first DCI formatted” or “downlink control information employing the first DCI formatted” or “DCI of the first DCI formatted” may be abbreviated as “first DCI formatted.” The same applies to other DCI formatteds.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first configuration information and / or the second and / or third configuration information may be carried by RRC signaling. The first configuration information relating to the first DCI formatted is used to configure a time-domain resource list, and the DCI of the first DCI formatted can indicate the time-domain resources to be forwarded by the time-domain resource list. The time-domain resource list may, but is not limited to, a list of aperiodic forwarding time resources for an NCRFwd access link. The first configuration information includes one or more of the following: first information for indicating a first value M; second information for adding and / or changing time-domain resources; third information for releasing time-domain resources; fourth information for indicating the subcarrier interval; fifth information for indicating the bit width of the first information area; sixth information for indicating the bit width of the second information area; and seventh information for indicating the size of the load of the first DCI formatted. The second and / or third information area is used to set up a time-domain resource list; that is, the second information (e.g., ncr-AperiodicFwdTimeResourceToAddModList-r18) can set up time-domain resources to be added / modified in the time-domain resource list, the third information is used to indicate time-domain resources to be released / removed (deleted) from the time-domain resources set up by the second information, the number of time-domain resources in the time-domain resource list can be determined based on the second and / or third information, the subcarrier interval indicated by the fourth information may also be the reference subcarrier interval of the time-domain resource, the fifth and sixth information is used to indicate the bit width of the first and second information areas, the bit width is at least with respect to the length of the time-domain resource list (the number to be set and / or the number of time-domain resources), the seventh information indicates the size of the load of the first DCI formatted, with respect to the bit width of each information area, i.e., with respect to the length of the time-domain resource list, and the first value M indicated by the first information is with respect to the number of the first and / or second information areas, as will be described in more detail later.Of these, the range of the bit width values ​​for the first information area is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, and the range of the bit width values ​​for the second information area is {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} or {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}, the size of the (load) of the first DCI format is a maximum of 130 bits, and the value of the first value M is a maximum of 10, and the first setting information must be selected and set from the above range of values ​​when setting the above information. Note that if at least one of the above information is not set by the first setting information, the range of its value can also refer to the above example, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0044] In some embodiments, time domain resources are interchangeable with transferred time domain resources or time domain resource settings or transferred time domain resource settings, indexes are interchangeable with IDs, and sets are interchangeable with lists.

[0045] In some embodiments, the second configuration information is used to set the first DCI format or the RNTI for scrambling the DCI (or the RNTI value for scrambling the PDCCHs that carry side control information). For example, the RNTI is NCR-RNTI, and the RNTI is used to scramble the CRC of the DCI. The second configuration information ncr-RNTI-r18 is represented using ASN.1 as follows:

[0046] [Table 1] In some embodiments, the third configuration information is used to define a search space for monitoring a first DCI format. For example, the third configuration information includes tenth information dci-FormatsNCR-r18, which instructs the NCR-MT to monitor the first DCI format (in the search space defined by the configuration information). Based on the third configuration information, the search space for monitoring the first DCI format is determined, and the DCI of the first DCI format is received in that search space. The third configuration information SearchSpace is represented using ASN.1 and is as follows:

[0047] [Table 2] In some embodiments, the transceiver (NCR-MT) can monitor the first DCI formatted in a common search space (CSS) and / or a UE-specific search space (USS), or it can be said that it can receive the DCI of the first DCI formatted. In other words, the search space configured by the third configuration information described above is either a common search space (CSS) or a UE-specific search space. When there are multiple third configuration information entries, the type of search space (CSS / USS) configured by different third configuration information entries may be the same or different.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first DCI format and / or the DCI includes a first information area, includes a second information area, or does not include a first information area.

[0049] In some embodiments, each / all downlink control information employing the first DCI format includes the same number of first information areas and / or second information areas and / or information blocks.

[0050] In some embodiments, none of the downlink control information employing the first DCI format includes the second information area.

[0051] In some embodiments, the different downlink control information employing the first DCI format (received by the transceiver) may include a different number of first information fields and / or second information fields and / or information blocks, where the different downlink control information refers to downlink control information received in different time domains and / or frequency resources.

[0052] For example, the first information area is used to indicate the ON and / or beam (for the access link of the transporter / transporter's transport unit), and / or the second information area is used to indicate a (non-periodic) transport time-domain resource or time-domain resource, and / or the information block comprises one first information area and one second information area, the first and second information areas being associated by sequential mapping.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first information field may be referred to as beam indication / indicator(field), beam index(field), or beam index indicator / indication(field), but is not limited to these terms.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second information field may be referred to as a time resource indication / indicator(field) or a forwarding time resource indication / indicator(field), but is not limited to these terms.

[0055] In some embodiments, the information block may be referred to as a forwarding resource (block), but is not limited to this.

[0056] The first information domain will be explained below.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first information area indicates a beam by indicating a beam index. The beam refers to the beam of an access link or a beam relating to an access link.

[0058] In some embodiments, the DCI includes one or more first information fields, of which one first information field always indicates one beam, or at most one beam (i.e., does not indicate a beam). For example, each of the first information fields having different sequential numbers / corresponding to them may or may not indicate a beam, or some (e.g., the first first information field) may always indicate a beam, while others (e.g., first information fields other than the first) may not indicate a beam.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first information field may be set to a third specific (predetermined) value. The third specific value does not correspond to / is not associated with any beam or beam index (of any one of the NCR / NCRFwd (access links)). When the first information field is set to a third specific value, the first information field does not indicate a beam.

[0060] The following provides an illustrative explanation of this third specific value.

[0061] In some embodiments, the third specific value may correspond to the fourth value (e.g., minimum or maximum value) of the first information area. For example, taking binary numbers as an example, the fourth value represents that all bits in the first information area are either 0 or 1. Alternatively, taking decimal numbers as an example, the fourth value is 0.

[0062] In some embodiments, the third specific value is used to represent / indicate the following: that the first information area and / or the first information area after the one first information area does not indicate a beam and / or is invalid and / or is set to a fourth specific value and / or is ignored by the transporter, and / or the second information area corresponding to the first information area and / or the second information area corresponding to the first information area after the one first information area does not indicate a time-domain resource and / or is invalid and / or is set to a second specific value and / or is ignored by the transporter, and / or the information area after the first information area is invalid and / or is set to a sixth specific value and / or is ignored by the transporter, and / or the second information area included in the information block in which the first information area is located does not indicate a time-domain resource and / or is invalid and / or is set to a second specific value and / or is ignored by the transporter, and / or the information block in which the first information area is located The second information area contained in the information block after the lock does not indicate a time-domain resource and / or is invalid and / or is set to a second specific value and / or is ignored by the transporter, and / or the first information area contained in the information block after the information block in which the first information area is located does not indicate a beam and / or is invalid and / or is set to a fourth specific value and / or is ignored by the transporter, and / or the first information area is the last information area (of the one downlink control information), and / or the information block in which the first information area is located is the last information block (of the one downlink control information), and / or the first information area is the last first information area (of the one downlink control information), and / or the second information area corresponding to the first information area is the last second information area (of the one downlink control information), and / or the first information area does not have a corresponding second information area.

[0063] In some embodiments, one downlink control information employing the first DCI format (received by the transceiver) includes one first information area set to a third specific value, the first information area and / or a first information area following the one first information area does not indicate a beam and / or is invalid and / or is set to a fourth specific value and / or is ignored by the transceiver, and / or a second information area corresponding to the first information area and / or a second information area corresponding to the first information area following the one first information area does not indicate a time-domain resource and / or is invalid and / or is set to a second specific value and / or is ignored by the transceiver, and / or an information area following the first information area is invalid and / or is set to a sixth specific value and / or is ignored by the transceiver, and / or a second information area included in the information block in which the first information area is located does not indicate a time-domain resource and / or is invalid and / or is set to a second specific value and / or is ignored by the transceiver, and / or, the second information area included in the information block following the information block in which the first information area is located does not indicate a time-domain resource and / or is invalid and / or is set to a second specific value and / or is ignored by the transporter and / or, the first information area included in the information block following the information block in which the first information area is located does not indicate a beam and / or is invalid and / or is set to a fourth specific value and / or is ignored by the transporter and / or, the first information area is the last information area (of the one downlink control information) and / or, the information block in which the first information area is located is the last information block (of the one downlink control information) and / or, the first information area is the last first information area (of the one downlink control information) and / or, the second information area corresponding to the first information area is the last second information area (of the one downlink control information) and / or, the first information area does not have a corresponding second information area.

[0064] In some embodiments, one or more first information fields of a first DCI format (e.g., the first first information field) are not set as a third specific value (cannot be set / not permitted to be set / not allowed to be set), that is, none of the one or more first information fields of the same sequential number in each / all downlink control information employing the first DCI format (e.g., the first first information field) are set as a third specific value (cannot be set / not permitted to be set / not allowed to be set). Let us take the first first information field as an example, which includes a fourth value for the first first information field having a corresponding / associated beam or beam index, thereby indicating a beam and not a third specific value when the first information field is set as a fourth value (in such cases, it may be said that the first information field does not include a third specific value). Alternatively, the fourth value does not correspond to / is not associated with any beam or beam index (of any one of the NCR / NCRFwd (access links)), but the first information area cannot be set as the fourth value (in this case, the first information area contains the third specific value, but it cannot be set as the third specific value).

[0065] In some embodiments, one or more first information fields should be set as the fourth specific value. Generally, the fourth specific value does not correspond to / is not associated with any one beam or beam index of the NCR / NCRFwd (access link), but may correspond to a beam or beam index.

[0066] The following provides an illustrative explanation of the fourth specific value.

[0067] In some embodiments, the fourth specific value may correspond to the fifth value (e.g., minimum or maximum value) of the first information area. For example, taking binary numbers as an example, the fifth value represents that all bits in the first information area are either 0 or 1, and taking decimal numbers as an example, the fifth value is 0.

[0068] In some embodiments, for one or more first information fields of a first DCI format (e.g., first information fields other than the first first information field), or for one or more first information fields of the same sequential number in each / all downlink control information employing the first DCI format (e.g., first information fields other than the first first information field), the fourth specific value is a default value or tacit value used in a particular case, in other words, in that particular case, the first information field must (should) be set to that value.

[0069] In some embodiments, the particular case does not occur for only some of the first information areas (e.g., the first first information area) of the first DCI format (or the same sequential number in each / all downlink control information employing the first DCI format). For example, the case does not occur for the first first information area but may occur for other first information areas (other sequential numbers). For the first first information area, it is not set to the fourth / fifth value (cannot be set / is not allowed to be set / is not permitted to be set), or when set to the fourth / fifth value, it indicates a beam (in other words, the NCR determines and uses the beam it indicates based on that first information area), while for other first information areas, in the particular case, it is set to the fourth / fifth value, and in this case, the first information area does not indicate a beam (in other words, the NCR does not determine and use the beam it indicates based on that first information area).

[0070] In some embodiments, for a single downlink control information employing the first DCI format, the first information field in which the above-mentioned specific case may occur must be set to the value when the above-mentioned special case occurs, and when the above-mentioned special case does not occur and it is set to the fourth specific value / fifth value, it indicates a beam (in other words, the NCR determines and uses the indicated beam based on the first information field).

[0071] In some embodiments, with respect to one downlink control information employing the first DCI format, when the preceding first information area (if any) of one of the first information areas is set to a third specific value and / or the preceding second information area (if any) is set to a first specific value and / or the second information area corresponding to the one first information area is set to a second specific value, the one first information area should be set to a fourth specific value (it is set to a fifth value and does not indicate a beam) (the first and second specific values ​​will be described later).

[0072] Furthermore, the number of first information areas included in the DCI will be explained in the embodiments described later.

[0073] The second information domain will be explained below.

[0074] In some embodiments, when the DCI includes a second information area, one second information area points to one time-domain resource index, or is used to point to at most one time-domain resource index. This index may be replaced by a sequential number or an identifier (ID). The case where the DCI does not include a second information area will be discussed later. Below, we will first explain using the case where the DCI includes a second information area as an example.

[0075] In some embodiments, the DCI or the second information domain within the DCI directs time-domain resources based on a time-domain resource list. The time-domain resource list is configured by the first configuration information described above.

[0076] For example, the number of time-domain resources in a time-domain resource list can be determined based on second information, and for example, the number of time-domain resources in the time-domain resource list is equal to the number of entries included in the second information.

[0077] For example, the time domain resource list can be configured using the second and third pieces of information, and the number of time domain resources in the time domain resource list is equal to the number of time domain resource settings configured by the second piece of information and not released / removed by the third piece of information.

[0078] For example, if the index of the time-domain resource set by the second piece of information includes 1, 2, 3, and 4, and the index of the time-domain resource instructed to be released / removed by the third piece of information is 1, then the number of time-domain resources in the set time-domain resource list is 3.

[0079] The names of the information areas or information elements in the embodiments of the present invention are merely illustrative, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to these.

[0080] For the sake of explanation, the terms "first time-domain resource set" and "second time-domain resource set" are introduced below. The first time-domain resource set is the time-domain resource list set up as described above; in other words, the first time-domain resource set is equivalent to the time-domain resource list and includes all the time-domain resources in the time-domain resource list. The second time-domain resource set includes some or all of the time-domain resources in the time-domain resource list. The second time-domain resource set corresponds to each second information area in DCI, and the time-domain resource settings (indexes) in the second time-domain resource set corresponding to each second information area may be partially the same or completely different, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, or a second time-domain resource set corresponding to one second information area includes time-domain resource settings not indicated by one, more or all (if any) second information areas preceding that second information area in the time-domain resource list or first time-domain resource set, or does not include time-domain resource settings indicated by one, more or all (if any) second information areas preceding that second information area in the time-domain resource list or first time-domain resource set. In particular, for the first second information area, its corresponding second time-domain resource set includes / is equivalent to the time-domain resource settings in the time-domain resource list or first time-domain resource set. For example, if a time domain resource list contains time domain resources with indexes 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively, and the second time domain resource set corresponding to the first second information area contains all the time domain resources in the time domain resource list, i.e., the time domain resources with indexes 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively, and the first second information area points to the time domain resource with index 1, then the second time domain resource set corresponding to the second second information area contains the time domain resources in the time domain resource list that are not pointed to by the first information area, i.e., the time domain resources with indexes 2, 3, and 4 respectively.Alternatively, a second time-domain resource set corresponding to a second information domain includes time-domain resources in the time-domain resource list or first time-domain resource set that are not indicated by one, more, or all (if any) second information domains preceding the second information domain and / or time-domain resources that do not overlap (in the time domain) with time-domain resources indicated by one, more, or all (if any) second information domains preceding the second information domain, or does not include time-domain resources in the time-domain resource list or first time-domain resource set that are indicated by one, more, or all (if any) second information domains preceding the second information domain, or time-domain resources that overlap (in the time domain) with such indicated time-domain resources. For example, if a time domain resource list includes time domain resources with indexes 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively, and the time domain resources with indexes 1 and 2 are indicated by the same DCI, and the two time domain resources overlap in the time domain, and the second time domain resource set corresponding to the first second information area includes all the time domain resources in the time domain resource list, i.e., the time domain resources with indexes 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively, and the first second information area indicates the time domain resource with index 1, then the second time domain resource set corresponding to the second second information area includes time domain resources other than those with indexes 1 and 2 in the time domain resource list, i.e., the time domain resources with indexes 3 and 4 respectively.

[0081] Furthermore, for the sake of explanation, the terms "first parameter," "second parameter," and "third parameter" are introduced below. The first parameter I is equal to the number of time-domain resources in the first time-domain resource set (time-domain resource list) or the second time-domain resource set, and / or the second parameter N1 is equal to the second value set by a predefined second value and / or ninth piece of information and / or the number of first specific values ​​and / or second specific values, for example, the second parameter is determined based on the number of first specific values ​​and / or second specific values, and the second parameter is equal to the number of first specific values, or equal to the number of second specific values, or equal to the sum of the number of first and second specific values, and / or the third parameter N2 is equal to the third value set by a predefined third value and / or eighth piece of information and / or the position of the second information area, for example, the third parameter is the number of second information areas preceding the second information area and / or the position of the second information area With respect to the sequential number (sequential number (assuming sequential numbers are numbered starting from 0), or sequential number - 1 (assuming sequential numbers are numbered starting from 1)), for example, it may be equal to the number of the second information area preceding the second information area, or equal to the sequential number of the second information area, or equal to the sequential number - 1 of the second information area, or equal to the number of time-domain resources indicated by the second information area preceding the second information area (in the time-domain resource list or first time-domain resource set or second time-domain resource set corresponding to the second information area), or equal to the sum of the number of time-domain resources indicated by the second information area preceding the second information area and the number of time-domain resources that overlap with these time-domain resources (in the time-domain resource list or first time-domain resource set or second time-domain resource set corresponding to the second information area). The ninth and / or eighth information may also be set by RRC signaling settings, for example, carried by the first setting information described above, or carried by other information elements or information areas different from the first setting information, but embodiments of the present invention are not limited to these.

[0082] The first specific value will be explained below.

[0083] The first specific value does not correspond to / is not associated with any one of the NCR / NCRFwd (access links) time-domain resources or time-domain resource indexes. When the second information area is set as the first specific value, the second information area does not indicate a time-domain resource.

[0084] In some embodiments, the first specific value may correspond to the sixth value (e.g., minimum or maximum value) of the second information area. For example, in binary, the sixth value represents that all bits in the second information area are either 0 or 1, and in decimal, for example, the sixth value is 0.

[0085] In some embodiments, the first specific value is used to indicate that the second information area and / or the second information area after the second information area does not indicate a time-domain resource and / or is invalid and / or is set to the second specific value and / or is ignored by the transporter, and / or the first information area corresponding to the second information area and / or the first information area corresponding to the second information area after the second information area does not indicate a beam and / or is invalid and / or is set to the fourth specific value and / or is ignored by the transporter, and / or the information area after the second information area is invalid and / or is set to the fifth specific value and / or is ignored by the transporter, and / or the first information area included in the information block in which the second information area is located does not indicate a beam and / or is invalid and / or is set to the fourth specific value and / or is ignored by the transporter, and / or the information area after the information block in which the second information area is located The first information area contained in the information block does not indicate a beam and / or is invalid and / or is set to a fourth specific value and / or is ignored by the transporter, and / or the second information area contained in the information block following the information block in which the second information area is located does not indicate a time-domain resource and / or is invalid and / or is set to a second specific value and / or is ignored by the transporter, and / or the second information area is the last information area (of the one downlink control information), and / or the information block in which the second information area is located is the last information block (of the one downlink control information), and / or the second information area is the last second information area (of the one downlink control information), and / or the first information area corresponding to the second information area is the last first information area (of the one downlink control information), and / or the second information area does not have a corresponding first information area.

[0086] In some embodiments, one downlink control information employing the first DCI format (received by the transceiver) includes one second information area set to a first specific value, the second information area and / or a second information area following the second information area does not indicate a time-domain resource and / or is invalid and / or is set to a second specific value and / or is ignored by the transceiver, and / or the first information area corresponding to the second information area and / or the first information area corresponding to the second information area following the second information area does not indicate a beam and / or is invalid and / or is set to a fourth specific value and / or is ignored by the transceiver, and / or the information area following the second information area is invalid and / or is set to a fifth specific value and / or is ignored by the transceiver, and / or the first information area included in the information block in which the second information area is located does not indicate a beam and / or is invalid and / or is set to a fourth specific value and / or is ignored by the transceiver, and / or the The first information area included in the information block following the information block in which the second information area is located does not indicate a beam and / or is invalid and / or is set to a fourth specific value and / or is ignored by the transporter, and / or the second information area included in the information block following the information block in which the second information area is located does not indicate a time-domain resource and / or is invalid and / or is set to a second specific value and / or is ignored by the transporter, and / or the second information area is the last information area (of the one downlink control information), and / or the information block in which the second information area is located is the last information block (of the one downlink control information), and / or the second information area is the last second information area (of the one downlink control information), and / or the first information area corresponding to the second information area is the last first information area (of the one downlink control information), and / or the second information area does not have a corresponding first information area.

[0087] In some embodiments, one or more second information fields of the first DCI format (e.g., the first second information field) are not set as the first specific value; that is, none of the one or more second information fields of the same sequential number in each / all downlink control information employing the first DCI format (e.g., the first first information field) are set as the first specific value. Taking the first second information field as an example, the sixth value of the first second information field has a corresponding / associated time-domain resource or time-domain resource index, so that when the second information field is set as the sixth value, it points to a time-domain resource and is not the first specific value (in such cases, it can be said that the second information field does not contain the first specific value). Alternatively, the sixth value does not correspond to / is not associated with any one of the time-domain resources or time-domain resource indexes (of the NCR / NCRFwd (access link)), but the second information area cannot be set as the sixth value (in such a case, the second information area contains the first specific value, but cannot be set as the first specific value).

[0088] The following provides an illustrative explanation of the second specific value.

[0089] In some embodiments, one or more second information domains should be set as second specific values. Generally, second specific values ​​do not correspond to / are not associated with any time domain resource or time domain resource index (any one of the NCR / NCRFwd (access links)), but are not limited to this, and fourth specific values ​​may correspond to a time domain resource or time domain resource index.

[0090] In some embodiments, the second specific value is equal to the seventh value (e.g., the minimum or maximum value) of the second information domain. For example, in binary, the seventh value represents that all bits in the second information domain are either 0 or 1, and in decimal, for example, the seventh value is 0.

[0091] In some embodiments, for one or more second information fields of a first DCI format (e.g., second information fields other than the first second information field), or for one or more second information fields of the same sequential number in each / all downlink control information employing the first DCI format (e.g., second information fields other than the first second information field), the second specific value is a default value or tacit value used in a particular case, in other words, in that particular case, the second information field is always set to or should be set to that value.

[0092] In some embodiments, the particular case does not occur for only some of the second information fields (e.g., the first second information field) of the first DCI format (or the same sequential number in each / all downlink control information employing the first DCI format). For example, the case does not occur for the first second information field but may occur for other (other sequentially numbered) second information fields. For the first second information field, it is not set to the second specific value / seventh value (cannot be set / is not allowed to be set / is not permitted to be set), or when it is set to the second specific value / seventh value, it indicates a time-domain resource (in other words, the NCR determines and uses the time-domain resource indicated by the second information field), while for the other second information fields, it is set to the second specific value / seventh value in the particular case, and in this case, the second information field does not indicate a time-domain resource (in other words, the NCR does not determine and use the time-domain resource indicated by the second information field).

[0093] In some embodiments, for a single downlink control information employing the first DCI format, the second information area where the above-mentioned specific case may occur is always set to / should be set to that value when the above-mentioned special case occurs, and when the above-mentioned special case does not occur and it is set to the second specific value / seventh value, it indicates a time-domain resource (in other words, the NCR determines and uses the time-domain resource it indicates based on the second information area).

[0094] In some embodiments, with respect to one downlink control information employing the first DCI format, when one of the second information areas (if any) preceding a second information area is set as a first specific value and / or the preceding information area (if any) is set as a third specific value and / or the first information area corresponding to the one second information area is set as a fourth specific value, the one second information area should be set as a second specific value (set as a seventh value and not indicating a time-domain resource).

[0095] The following explains how the second information domain indicates time-domain resources, or how the correspondence between the values ​​in the second information domain and time-domain resources in the time-domain resource list is explained.

[0096] In some embodiments (1), the first value of the second information area may begin to correspond to the index of a time-domain resource in the time-domain resource list or the first time-domain resource set or the second time-domain resource set. The nth value of one second information area (of the first DCI format or the DCI) corresponds to a time-domain resource in the first time-domain resource set or the second time-domain resource set whose index is set to n-1 or n (as shown in Tables 3 and 4 below), and / or the nth value of one second information area corresponds to the nth time-domain resource in the first time-domain resource set or the second time-domain resource set (as shown in Tables 5 and 6 below) (where n is an integer greater than or equal to 1). The second information area contains, for example, B bits, i.e., the range of bit values ​​in the second information area is 2 B It contains 2 values, B The nth value of the nth value corresponds to a time-domain resource in the time-domain resource list, first time-domain resource set, or second time-domain resource set whose index is set to n-1 (assuming IDs start from 0) or n (assuming IDs start from 1), and / or corresponds to the nth time-domain resource in the time-domain resource list, first time-domain resource set, or second time-domain resource set (where n is an integer greater than or equal to 1).

[0097] [Table 3]

[0098] [Table 4]

[0099] [Table 5]

[0100] [Table 6] In example (1), the last one or more (M1) values ​​in the second information domain are a first specific value or a second specific value, where M1 is with respect to the second parameter, for example, M1 is equal to the second parameter N1.

[0101] In some embodiments (ii), the n+N3rd value of the second information area may begin to correspond to the index of a time-domain resource in the time-domain resource list or the first time-domain resource set or the second time-domain resource set. The n+N3rd value of the second information area corresponds to a time-domain resource in the time-domain resource list or the first time-domain resource set or the second time-domain resource set whose index is set to n-1 or n, and / or the n+N3rd value of the second information area corresponds to the nth time-domain resource in the time-domain resource list or the first time-domain resource set or the second time-domain resource set (as shown in Tables 7 and 8 below) (where n is an integer of 1 or more). The second information area contains, for example, B bits, that is, the range of bit values ​​in the second information area is 2 B It contains 2 values, BThe n+N3rd value of the nth value corresponds to a time-domain resource in the time-domain resource list, first time-domain resource set, or second time-domain resource set whose index (ncr-AperiodicFwdTimeResourceId-r18) is set to n-1 (assuming IDs start from 0) or n (assuming IDs start from 1), and / or corresponds to the nth time-domain resource in the time-domain resource list, first time-domain resource set, or second time-domain resource set (where n is an integer greater than or equal to 1).

[0102] [Table 7]

[0103] [Table 8] In example (2), one or more (N3) values ​​prior to the second information domain are the first specific value or the second specific value, where N3 is relative to the second parameter, for example, N3 is equal to the second parameter N1.

[0104] In example (2), one or more (N3) values ​​before the second information area are the first specific value or the second specific value, and one or more (N4) values ​​after the second information area are the first specific value or the second specific value, for example, N3 + N4 is equal to N1.

[0105] In some embodiments, the index of the nth time-domain resource in the time-domain resource list or the first time-domain resource set or the second time-domain resource set is always set to n (assuming the ID starts from 1) or n-1 (assuming the ID starts from 0), or the index of the nth time-domain resource in the time-domain resource list or the first time-domain resource set or the second time-domain resource set is always set to something other than n or n-1 (where n is an integer greater than or equal to 1).

[0106] In the above example, the DCI includes at least one second information field, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. For example, the DCI may not include the second information field. For example, the time domain resource list (or the first time domain resource set or the second time domain resource set) includes only one setting (index) of the time domain resource, and the bit width of the second information field in the DCI is 0 (specifically described later). That is, the DCI does not include the second information field. In this case, the DCI includes only one first information field, and transfers are performed using the transfer time domain resource for the Fwd access link set by the RRC using the corresponding transfer device.

[0107] Hereinafter, the formats of the information block, the first information field, and the second information field in the DCI that adopts the first DCI format will be described.

[0108] Example 1: First information field 1, First information field 2,..., First information field N 1,fields , Second information field 1,..., Second information field 2,..., Second information field N 2,fields (It may be numbered from 0).

[0109] Example 2: Second information field 1, Second information field 2,..., Second information field N 2,fields , First information field 1,..., First information field 2,..., First information field N 1,fields (It may be numbered from 0).

[0110] Example 3: First information field 1, Second information field 1, First information field 2, Second information field 2,..., First information field N 1,fields , Second information field N 2,fields (It may be numbered from 0).

[0111] Example 4: Second information field 1, First information field 1, Second information field 2, First information field 2,..., Second information field N 2,fields , First information field N 1,fields (It may be numbered from 0).

[0112] Example 5: N in the first DCI format blockIt contains information blocks, ordered as block number 1, block number 2, ..., block number N block Each block defines one or more first information areas and one or more second information areas. In a single block, the first and second information areas are arranged in the manner described above. For example, each block contains one first information area and one second information area, and the first and second information areas in the same block correspond to each other, i.e., Block 1: First information area 1, second information area 1 or second information area 1, first information area 1 Block 2: First information area 2, second information area 2 or second information area 2, first information area 2 ... Block Nblock: First information area N 1,fields , second information area N 2,fields or Second Information Domain N 2,fields , first information area N 1,fields That is the case.

[0113] Furthermore, the "before" or "after" in the information range used to explain the specific values ​​mentioned above indicates the order of the sequences in the DCI described above.

[0114] The following describes how the number of second information areas and / or first information areas and / or information blocks N block , N 1,fields and N 2,fields Explain whether to confirm / set it.

[0115] In some embodiments, based on the first information in the first setting information, N block , N 1,fields , N 2,fields A first value is set for the following: The first value M is the maximum number Nmax of the first information area and / or second information area that can be included in the downlink control information and / or the actual number Nac of the first information area and / or second information area included in the downlink information.

[0116] For example, the first value M is greater than or equal to the number of first information fields and / or second information fields and / or information blocks included in the first DCI format, and / or greater than or equal to the maximum sequential number of the first information fields included in the first DCI format (assuming they are numbered from 1) (or maximum sequential number (assuming they are numbered from 0) + 1) and / or the maximum sequential number of the second information fields (or maximum sequential number + 1) and / or the maximum sequential number of the information blocks (assuming they are numbered from 1) (or maximum sequential number (assuming they are numbered from 0) + 1), and / or the sequential number of the last first information field included in the first DCI format (assuming they are numbered from 1) (or sequential number (assuming they are numbered from 0) + 1) It is greater than or equal to the sequential number (or sequential number + 1) and / or the sequential number (or sequential number + 1) of the last information block, and / or greater than or equal to the number of first information areas and / or second information areas and / or the number of information blocks included in the DCI, and / or greater than or equal to the maximum sequential number (or maximum sequential number + 1) of the first information areas and / or the maximum sequential number (or maximum sequential number + 1) of the second information areas and / or the maximum sequential number (or maximum sequential number + 1) of the information blocks, and / or greater than or equal to the sequential number (assuming numbering starts from 1) (or sequential number (assuming numbering starts from 0) + 1) of the last first information area included in the DCI and / or the sequential number (or sequential number + 1) of the last second information area and / or the sequential number (or sequential number + 1) of the last information block.

[0117] In other words, the first value is used to represent (or the first information is used to indicate) the following: the number of first information fields and / or the number of second information fields and / or the number of information blocks included in the first DCI format, and / or the maximum sequential number (or maximum sequential number + 1) of the first information fields and / or the maximum sequential number (or maximum sequential number + 1) of the second information fields and / or the maximum sequential number (or maximum sequential number + 1) of the information blocks included in the first DCI format, and / or the sequential number (or sequential number + 1) of the last first information field and / or the sequential number (or sequential number + 1) of the last second information field and / or the sequential number (or sequential number + 1) of the last information block included in the first DCI format. , and / or the maximum number of first information areas and / or second information areas and / or information blocks that may be included in the downlink control information, and / or the number of first information areas and / or second information areas and / or information blocks included in the DCI, and / or the maximum sequential number (or maximum sequential number + 1) of the first information areas and / or the maximum sequential number (or maximum sequential number + 1) of the second information areas and / or the maximum sequential number (or maximum sequential number + 1) of the information blocks included in the DCI, and / or the sequential number (or sequential number + 1) of the last first information area and / or the sequential number (or sequential number + 1) of the last second information area and / or the sequential number (or sequential number + 1) of the last information block included in the DCI.

[0118] In some embodiments, of any two time-domain resources in the time-domain resource list, the index of the later time-domain resource is greater than the index of the earlier time-domain resource, or of any two time-domain resources in the time-domain resource list, the index of the later time-domain resource is smaller than the index of the earlier time-domain resource.

[0119] In some embodiments, when the number of time-domain resources Q included in the time-domain resource list is less than the number of first information areas and / or second information areas and / or information blocks in the first value M or first DCI format, the time-domain resources are indicated using only a portion of the second information areas (e.g., the previous Q second information areas).

[0120] In some embodiments, the number of first information fields and / or second information fields and / or information blocks included in each / all DCI employing the first DCI format is equal to the first value. For example, when a time-domain resource list (or first time-domain resource set or second time-domain resource set) contains only settings (indexes) for multiple time-domain resources, and the bit width of the second information field of the DCI is not zero (the specific calculation method will be described later), the number of first information fields and / or second information fields included in the DCI is equal to the first value.

[0121] In some embodiments, the number of first information fields and / or second information fields included in each / all DCIs that adopt the first DCI format is smaller than the first value. For example, when a time-domain resource list (or first time-domain resource set or second time-domain resource set) contains only one time-domain resource setting (index), and the bit width of the second information field of the DCI is 0 (the specific calculation method will be described later), the DCI does not contain a second information field, but contains only one first information field. In this case, M set by the first information is always equal to 1, and the number of first information fields and / or second information fields included in the DCI is smaller than the first value.

[0122] In some embodiments, the number of first information fields and / or second information fields and / or information blocks included in one DCI employing the first DCI format may be less than or equal to the first value.

[0123] In some embodiments, the number of first information fields and / or second information fields and / or information blocks included in one downlink control information employing the first DCI format relates to the values ​​of the first information fields and / or second information fields included in the one DCI.

[0124] In some embodiments, the number of second information domains included in each / all DCIs that adopt the first DCI format relates to the time-domain resource list.

[0125] For example, if a time-domain resource list (or first time-domain resource set or second time-domain resource set) contains only one time-domain resource setting (index), and the value of the second information area of ​​the DCI contains the first specific value or the second specific value, and the bit width is not 0 (the specific calculation method will be described later), then the number of first information areas and / or second information areas included in the DCI may be equal to the aforementioned first value. However, if the value of the second information area of ​​the DCI does not contain the first specific value or the second specific value, and the bit width is 0 (the specific calculation method will be described later), then the number of first information areas and / or second information areas included in the DCI is smaller than the aforementioned first value.

[0126] For example, when M is set to 4 by the first information, the number and values ​​of the first and second information areas in the DCI may be as shown in Table 9 below.

[0127] [Table 9] In each of the above cases, FieldA and FieldB represent the first and second information areas, respectively, or the second and first information areas, respectively. Hereafter, we will explain using the example of FieldA being the second information area and FieldB being the first information area. In Case 1, the DCI includes four first information areas and four second information areas, and the values ​​of each first and second information area are not the first, second, third, or fourth specific values. In Case 2, the DCI includes four first information areas and four second information areas, the values ​​of the third and fourth FieldA are the first specific values, and the subsequent FieldB indicates that it does not indicate a beam and / or is invalid and / or that its value is the fourth specific value (and the third specific value is the same or different). In case 3, the DCI includes four first information fields and four second information fields, the value of the third FieldA is the first specific value, the subsequent FieldB does not indicate a beam and / or is invalid and / or its value is the fourth specific value (and the third specific value is the same or different), and the subsequent FieldA does not indicate a time-domain resource and / or is invalid and / or its value is the second specific value (the same or different from the first specific value). In case 4 (where M is set is the maximum number and not the actual number), the DCI includes three FieldA and two FieldB, the value of the third FieldA is the first specific value, and the third FieldA is the last information field.

[0128] The following explains how to determine the bit width of the second information area.

[0129] In some embodiments, the bit width of the second information area is the number of bits B contained in the second information area, and the bit width of one or more second information areas can be determined based on the sixth information. The bit width of the first information area with the same sequential number in each / all downlink control information employing the first DCI format (received by the transceiver) is the same, and / or the bit width of the second information area with the same sequential number is the same.

[0130] In some embodiments, the bit width of the second information area is at least related to the length of the corresponding time-domain resource list or the first time-domain resource set or the second time-domain resource set (i.e., the number of settings / time-domain resources included). The bit width of the second information area is,

[0135] In some embodiments, the transporter (NCR or NCR-MT) determines the bit width of one or more or each of the second information fields (of the first DCI formatted or DCI) based on the first parameter I and / or the second information and / or the third information and / or the second parameter N1 and / or the third parameter N2 and / or the fourth parameter O. The bit width of the second information field is

[0143] In some embodiments, the formulas used to determine the bit width for second information fields of different sequential numbers may differ, or the same formulas may be used with different parameter values. Alternatively, the formulas and values ​​used to determine the bit width for second information fields of different sequential numbers may all be the same. For example, if the DCI of a first DCI format includes multiple second information fields, the bit width / or bit width determination formula for the first second information field and one or more subsequent second information fields may differ, and / or the bit width / or bit width determination formula for two or more of the subsequent second information fields may differ. For example, these may be determined based on independent first / second / third / fourth parameter values, respectively.

[0144] In some embodiments, the bit width of all second information fields is determined based on the same formula, for example, the bit width of each information field is all,

[0145]

number

[0146] In some embodiments, the bit widths of different second information fields are determined based on different formulas; for example, the formula for determining the bit width of the first second information field is different from that of one or more subsequent second information fields, and the formula for determining the bit width of the first second information field is:

[0150] For example, the first parameter represents the number of time-domain resources in the time-domain resource list, and the bit width of the second information area is,

[0152] For example, the determinative formulas for different second information domains are the same, but the values ​​of the parameters in the formulas are different, where the first parameter represents the number of time-domain resources in the second time-domain resource set corresponding to the second information domain, and the bit width of the second information domain is,

[0156] For example, the determinative formulas for different second information domains are the same, but the values ​​of the parameters in the formulas are different, where the first parameter I represents the number of time-domain resources in the second time-domain resource set corresponding to the second information domain, the second parameter N1 is equal to the number of first specific values ​​and / or second specific values ​​of the second information domain, and the bit width of the second information domain is,

[0163] The above is an illustrative description, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to those described above.

[0164] In some embodiments, (NCR or NCR-MT) expects the time-domain resource list to include at least one time-domain resource or at least two time-domain resources, and for example, by including the setting of at least two time-domain resources in the time-domain resource list, it is possible to avoid the case where the bit width of the second information area is 0 and to avoid the absence of the second information area.

[0165] In some embodiments, when all second information areas point to time-domain resources, in order to support different second information areas pointing to different time-domain resources, the number of time-domain resources included in the time-domain resource list and / or the number of fourth information included in the second information and / or the number of entries and / or the number of time-domain resources set by the second information and not released / removed by the third information is greater than or equal to the number of second information areas included in the downlink control information and / or the number of first information areas included in the downlink control information and / or the number of first information set by the first information; and / or When all second information areas point to time-domain resources, in order to support different second information areas pointing to time-domain resources that do not overlap, the number of non-overlapping time-domain resources included in the time-domain resource list and / or the number of non-overlapping fourth information items and / or entries included in the second information, and / or the number of non-overlapping time-domain resources set by the second information and not released / removed by the third information, is greater than or equal to the number of second information areas included in the downlink control information and / or the number of first information areas included in the downlink control information and / or the number set by the first information.

[0167] In the embodiment of the present invention, instructions regarding the transceiver's access link beam and corresponding time-domain resources can be given by configuration information plus DCI. By allowing network devices to control the transceiver's access link beam and corresponding time-domain resources, the access link beam / time-domain resources used by the transceiver for forwarding (forwarding downlink / uplink signals) can be matched to the beam / time-domain resources of terminal devices that receive / transmit signals. This improves the signal amplification / enhancement effect, saves power consumption of the transceiver, reduces interference to other devices in the network, and improves network throughput.
