Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201910757794.9, filed with the China Intellectual Property Office (CNIPA) on July 27, 2018, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0002] (Technical field) The present application relates to wireless communication networks, for example, to feedback channel mapping methods and devices, apparatus, and storage media. [Background technology]

[0003] In a sidelink communication system, when a service needs to be transmitted between user equipments (UEs), the service data between the UEs is not forwarded by the network side but is directly transmitted by the data source UE to the target UE via the sidelink. In sidelink communication, the UE obtains resources from a configured or preconfigured resource pool to perform communication. A resource pool generally corresponds to a group of time-frequency resources. In related technical fields, such a group of time-frequency resources may be continuous or discrete in the time domain and may also be continuous or discrete in the frequency domain. Regarding the sidelink, there are two resource selection modes for the UE to select resources from the resource pool for transmission. One is a scheduling-based resource allocation scheme in which sidelink resources are allocated by the base station. The other is a UE-autonomous resource acquisition-based resource scheme in which the UE autonomously detects the resource usage status of the resource pool and selects resources for communication.

[0004] As the demand for direct communication increases, sidelinks are required to support more types of services, such as those that require a receiver to transmit feedback information to a sender. When sidelinks are required to support feedback, in related technical fields, a sidelink resource pool within a resource pool is required to include feedback channel resources. However, in technical discussions, the correspondence between feedback resources and data channel resources within the resource pool has not yet been specified, and therefore, conflicts are likely to occur during feedback resource allocation. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The present application provides a feedback channel mapping method, device, apparatus, and storage medium for solving the contention problem that occurs during feedback resource allocation. [Means for solving the problem]

[0017] Embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0018] Physical slots refer to slots divided over physical time, and all slots have slots over physical time. Sidelink candidate slots refer to slots within physical slots that can or could be used for sidelink communication. Resource pool slots refer to slots available within a resource pool, and the slots in a resource pool are a subset of the sidelink candidate slots.

[0019] In one embodiment, the bandwidth of the resource pool includes L subchannels, and one subchannel includes Y resource blocks (RBs) in the frequency domain. *A resource pool includes Y RBs. Generally, a data channel used by a UE to transmit data includes at least one subchannel in the frequency domain. A resource pool consists of multiple slots in the time domain, and these slots may be continuous or discontinuous across physical time. Generally, a data channel resource used by a UE to transmit data consists of at least one symbol in at least one slot in the time domain.

[0020] In one embodiment, the first slot is a slot in a resource pool that is configured with a feedback channel. Assuming that the period of the first slots is N, N is the interval between two adjacent first slots in which the feedback channel is located, and the interval is the number of slots in the resource pool that are included between the two adjacent first slots, i.e., for every N slots in the resource pool, there is one slot configured with the feedback channel. The feedback channel in the time domain may include at least one symbol in one slot, and at least one symbol is located at the end of the slot. In one embodiment, the length of the feedback channel resource in the time domain is equal to the length of one slot.

[0021] In one embodiment, the total bandwidth of the feedback channels in the resource pool may be equal to, less than, or greater than the bandwidth of the resource pool. The number of RBs occupied by the minimum frequency-domain bandwidth of one feedback channel is configured by a network-side node or pre-configured or pre-defined by the network. In one embodiment, one feedback channel is further divided into a certain number of feedback channels in the code domain, and such a certain number is also configured by a network-side node or pre-configured or pre-defined by the network. Figures 1-3 are schematic diagrams illustrating the allocation of data channels and feedback channels of a resource pool in the time and frequency domains according to the present application.

[0022] In one embodiment, assuming that the first configuration frequency domain of slot n is configured with a feedback channel, the slot n a in which the data channel mapped to the first configuration frequency domain in the first slot is located satisfies the following conditions: a is greater than or equal to a first configuration value K, only slot n is configured with a feedback channel within the interval from slot n-a+K to slot n, and K is the minimum physical slot interval between the resource of the data channel and the feedback channel corresponding to this data channel, which is configured by the network side or pre-configured or pre-defined by the network.

[0023] 4 is a flowchart of a feedback channel mapping method according to an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment is suitable for the case of mapping feedback channels. This embodiment can be implemented by a terminal. The terminal can be a scheduling node (e.g., a base station, an access node, etc.) or a UE. As shown in FIG. 4, the method provided in this embodiment includes steps S110-S130.

[0024] At S110, the number of feedback channel groups divided in the first constituent frequency domain in the first slot is determined.

[0025] At S120, the number of data channels to be mapped to the first constituent frequency domain in the first slot is determined.

[0026] In the above step, the time-domain interval between the first slot and the second slot in which the data channel is located is equal to or greater than a first configuration value, the second slot is a slot before the first slot, and the frequency-domain range in which the data channel is located is a second configuration frequency domain.

[0027] At S130, the feedback channels corresponding to each data channel are mapped to feedback channel groups according to the number of data channels and the number of feedback channel groups.

[0028] The first and second configuration frequency domains may be the same or different, and the first and second slots may be configured as slots in a resource pool.

[0029] In one embodiment, the number of feedback channel groups is determined in any one of the following manners: determining the number of feedback channel groups according to the number of data channels mapped to the first configuration frequency domain in the first slot; determining the number of feedback channel groups according to the configuration of the network side node or the pre-configuration of the network; or determining the number of feedback channel groups according to the first configuration frequency domain in the first slot.

[0030] The manner of determining the number of feedback channel groups according to the first configuration frequency domain in the first slot may be as follows: configuring or pre-configuring feedback channel groups in the first configuration frequency domain, or configuring or pre-configuring the number of feedback channels included in each feedback channel group.

[0031] In one embodiment, the second slot in which the data channel is located may be determined in the following manner: determining a slot in a first period as the second slot, where the time interval between the slot and the first slot of the current cycle is equal to or greater than a first configuration value, the first period being the period between the first slot of the previous cycle and the first slot of the current cycle, the cycle being the interval between two adjacent first slots in which the feedback channel is located, and the interval being the number of slots in the resource pool included between the two adjacent first slots; and if the first configuration value is equal to or greater than 1, determining all slots in a second period as the second slot, where the second period is the period between a slot located a first configuration value ahead of the first slot of the previous cycle and the first slot of the previous cycle, and the first configuration value being the physical slot interval.

[0032] In one embodiment, assuming that two adjacent first slots are the first slot n and the first slot nj, respectively, (N-1) slots of the resource pool exist between the first slot n and the first slot nj, and if the time-domain interval between the slot of the resource pool and the first slot n within the period [first slot nj, first slot n] is equal to or greater than K physical slots, the feedback channel of the data channel resource of this slot of the resource pool is mapped to the first slot n, and the feedback channels of the data channel resources of all slots of the resource pool within the period [first slot njK, first slot nj] are mapped to the first slot n. In one embodiment, when K is equal to 0, [slot njK, slot nj] is an empty set, and no slot within this period is mapped to the first slot n. Let J be the number of second slots that satisfy the condition. It can be seen that when K is equal to 0, J is equal to N, and when K is greater than 0, J is less than or equal to N+K-1. That is, in one resource pool, the feedback channel of the data channel resources of J second slots is mapped to the first slot n.

[0033] In one embodiment, the first and second frequency domains are frequency domain ranges of one subchannel in a resource pool, and the first and second frequency domains are the same subchannel frequency domain range. The number of feedback channel groups can be determined according to the number of data channels mapped to the first frequency domain in the first slot in the following manner: determining the number of data channels mapped to the first frequency domain in the first slot, or determining the maximum number of data channels that can be mapped to the first frequency domain in the first slot as the number of feedback channel groups.

[0034] In one embodiment, when the first configuration value K is equal to 0, the maximum number of data channels that can be mapped to the first constituent frequency domain in the first slot is equal to the period N of the first slot, and the period N of the first slot is determined as the number of feedback channel groups; when the first configuration value K is greater than 0, the maximum number of data channels that can be mapped to the first constituent frequency domain in the first slot is less than or equal to N+K-1, and the number of feedback channel groups is an integer less than or equal to N+K-1. That is, the number of data channels that can be mapped to the first constituent frequency domain in the first slot is the number of the second slot, or the number of data channels that can be mapped to the first constituent frequency domain in the first slot is N+K-1.

[0035] In one embodiment, the manner of determining the number of feedback channel groups according to the first constituent frequency domain in the first slot may be as follows: determining the number of feedback channels according to the number of resource blocks included in one subchannel and the number of resource blocks included in one feedback channel, or determining the number of feedback channels according to the number of resource blocks included in one subchannel, the number of resource blocks included in one feedback channel, and the number of channels of one feedback channel in the code domain; and determining the number of feedback channels as the number of feedback channel groups.

[0036] In one embodiment, assuming that the minimum bandwidth of one feedback channel is X RBs and one subchannel includes Y RBs, the number of feedback channels in the frequency domain is

[0037] In one embodiment, the feedback channels included in each feedback channel group may be equal or unequal. Assuming that the number of feedback channel groups is M, the feedback channels included in the first constituent frequency domain in the first slot are divided into M groups. In one embodiment, one subchannel is

number

[0038] In one embodiment, assuming that the number of data channels mapped to the first constituent frequency domain in the first slot is I, the feedback channels corresponding to the I data channels are mapped to at least one of the M feedback channel groups.

[0039] In one embodiment, the feedback channel corresponding to each data channel may be mapped to a feedback channel group according to the number of data channels and the number of feedback channel groups in the following manner: ordering the data channels, ordering the feedback channel groups, and mapping the feedback channel corresponding to each ordered data channel to a feedback channel group.

[0040] In one embodiment, the feedback channel corresponding to each ordered data channel may be mapped to the feedback channel groups in the following manner: if the number of data channels is less than or equal to the number of feedback channel groups, map the feedback channel corresponding to each data channel to each of the feedback channel groups in order until all data channels are mapped; if the number of data channels is less than the number of feedback channel groups, map the feedback channel corresponding to each data channel to each of the feedback channel groups in order, and after a data channel is mapped, start again from one of the first data channels and map the feedback channel corresponding to each data channel to each of the remaining feedback channel groups until each feedback channel group has a mapped feedback channel; or determine the number of feedback channel groups to which the feedback channel corresponding to each data channel is mapped according to the number of data channels and the number of feedback channel groups, and map the feedback channel corresponding to each ordered data channel to at least one feedback channel group according to the number of feedback channel groups to which the feedback channel corresponding to each data channel is mapped.

[0041] As an example, if M is greater than or equal to I, the I ordered data channels are sequentially mapped one-to-one to the M feedback channel groups, and the feedback channel of the first data channel is mapped to the first feedback channel group until I data channels have been mapped.

[0042] As an example, if M is greater than I, then I ordered data channels are one-to-one mapped to M feedback channel groups, in order, until the feedback channel of the I data channel is mapped to the I feedback channel group, then the feedback channel of the first data channel continues to be mapped to the (I+1) feedback channel group, and so on, until each of the M feedback channel groups has a feedback channel mapped to it.

[0043] For example, if M is greater than I, then for the first through (M mod I) data channels, the feedback channel for each data channel is:

number

number

[0044] In one embodiment, the first frequency domain is the total bandwidth of all feedback channels in the resource pool, and the second frequency domain is the total bandwidth of all data channels in the resource pool. The first frequency domain and the second frequency domain can be the same or different.

[0045] In one embodiment, the number of feedback channel groups may be determined according to the number of data channels mapped to the first constituent frequency domain in the first slot in the following manner: determining the number of data channels mapped to the first constituent frequency domain in the first slot, or determining the maximum number of data channels that can be mapped to the first constituent frequency domain in the first slot as the number of feedback channel groups.

[0046] The number of data channels mapped to the first constituent frequency domain in the first slot is determined in the following manner: if the number of subchannels included in each second slot is equal, determine the number of data channels mapped to the first constituent frequency domain in the first slot according to the number of second slots and the number of subchannels included in each second slot; and if the number of subchannels included in each second slot is different, sum the numbers of subchannels included in each second slot and determine the resulting sum as the number of data channels mapped to the first constituent frequency domain in the first slot.

[0047] As an example, assuming that the number of second slots is J and the number of data channels included in each second slot is equal and L, the number of data channels mapped to the first constituent frequency domain in the first slot is I=L*J. The number of data channels included in the second slot may be less than or equal to the number of subchannels in the resource pool.

[0048] If the number of data channels included in each second slot is not equal, the number of data channels mapped to the first constituent frequency domain in the first slot is

number

[0049] In one embodiment, when the first configuration value K is equal to 0, the maximum number of data channels that can be mapped to the first configuration frequency domain in the first slot is N * L, where N is the period of the first slot, L is the number of subchannels included in the resource pool, and then the number of feedback channel groups is N * L. When K is greater than 0, the maximum number of data channels that can be mapped to the first constituent frequency domain in the first slot is determined as (N+K-1) * L, then the number of feedback channel groups is (N+K-1) * L or less.

[0050] In one embodiment, the manner of determining the number of feedback channel groups according to the first configuration frequency domain in the first slot may be as follows: determining the number of feedback channels according to the number of resource blocks included in the total bandwidth of all feedback channels in the resource pool and the number of resource blocks included in one feedback channel, or determining the number of feedback channels according to the number of resource blocks included in the total bandwidth of all feedback channels in the resource pool, the number of resource blocks included in one feedback channel, and the number of channels of one feedback channel in the code domain; and determining the number of feedback channels as the number of feedback channel groups.

[0051] As an example, suppose the total bandwidth of all feedback channels in the resource pool is B RBs, the minimum bandwidth of one feedback channel in the frequency domain is X RBs, then the number of feedback channels that can be divided into the first slot in the frequency domain is

[0052] In one embodiment, the feedback channels included in each feedback channel group may be equal or unequal. Assuming that the number of feedback channel groups is M, the feedback channels included in the first constituent frequency domain in the first slot are divided into M groups. In one embodiment, the first slot is

[0053] In one embodiment, the feedback channel corresponding to each data channel may be mapped to a feedback channel group according to the number of data channels and the number of feedback channel groups in the following manner: ordering the data channels and ordering the feedback channel groups; and mapping the feedback channel corresponding to each ordered data channel to a feedback channel group.

[0054] In one embodiment, the feedback channel corresponding to each ordered data channel may be mapped to the feedback channel groups in the following manner: if the number of data channels is less than or equal to the number of feedback channel groups, map the feedback channel corresponding to each data channel to each of the feedback channel groups in order until all data channels are mapped; if the number of data channels is less than the number of feedback channel groups, map the feedback channel corresponding to each data channel to each of the feedback channel groups in order, and after a data channel is mapped, start again from one of the first data channels and map the feedback channel corresponding to each data channel to each of the remaining feedback channel groups until each feedback channel group has a mapped feedback channel; or determine the number of feedback channel groups to which the feedback channel corresponding to each data channel is mapped according to the number of data channels and the number of feedback channel groups, and map the feedback channel corresponding to each ordered data channel to at least one feedback channel group according to the number of feedback channel groups to which the feedback channel corresponding to each data channel is mapped.

[0055] As an example, assuming the number of data channels is I and the number of feedback channel groups is M, if M is greater than or equal to I, the I ordered data channels are one-to-one mapped to the M feedback channel groups in order, and the feedback channel of the first data channel is mapped to the first feedback channel group until I data channels are mapped.

[0056] As an example, if M is greater than I, then I ordered data channels are one-to-one mapped to M feedback channel groups, in order, until the feedback channel of the I data channel is mapped to the I feedback channel group, then the feedback channel of the first data channel continues to be mapped to the (I+1) feedback channel group, and so on, until each of the M feedback channel groups has a feedback channel mapped to it.

[0057] For example, if M is greater than I, then for the first through (M mod I) data channels, the feedback channel for each data channel is:

[0058] In one embodiment, the feedback channel corresponding to each ordered data channel may be mapped to a feedback channel group according to the number of data channels and the number of feedback channel groups in the following manner: determining an ordering number of the feedback channel group to which the feedback channel corresponding to each data channel is mapped according to the number of second slots and the number of data channels included in the second configuration frequency domain in each second slot, and mapping the feedback channel corresponding to each data channel to the feedback channel group according to the ordering number.

[0059] As an example, assuming that the number of data channels included in each of the J second slots is equal to L, the ordering number of the feedback channel group corresponding to one data channel is L*j+l, where j is the number of the second slot in which this data channel is located among the J second slots, and l is the ordering number or subchannel number in the frequency domain in which this data channel is located.

[0061] In one embodiment, the feedback channel corresponding to each data channel may be mapped to a feedback channel group in the following manner: ordering the second slots and ordering the feedback channel groups; mapping each ordered second slot to a feedback channel group; for at least one feedback channel group to which a current second slot is mapped, dividing the feedback channels included in the at least one feedback channel group into a set number of sub-feedback channel groups, where the set number is determined by the number of data channels of the current second slot in the second configuration frequency domain and / or the number of feedback channels included in the at least one feedback channel group; and mapping the feedback channel corresponding to the current second slot to the sub-feedback channel group, where the feedback channel corresponding to the second slot is a feedback channel corresponding to the data channel included in the second slot in the second configuration frequency domain.

[0062] In one embodiment, the manner of determining the number of feedback channel groups is the same as the manner in which the first configuration frequency domain is the total bandwidth of all feedback channels in the resource pool, and the described content is not repeated here.The manner of determining the number of sub-feedback channels as a set number is similar to the manner of determining the feedback channel groups, and the described content is not repeated here.

[0063] In one embodiment, each ordered second slot may be mapped to a feedback channel group in the following manner: in response to the number of second slots being less than or equal to the number of feedback channel groups, map each second slot to each of the feedback channel groups in order until a second slot is mapped; in response to the number of second slots being less than the number of feedback channel groups, map each second slot to each of the feedback channel groups in order, and after a second slot is mapped, start again from the first of the second slots and map each second slot to each of the remaining feedback channel groups until each feedback channel group has a mapped second slot; or determine the number of feedback channel groups to which each second slot is mapped according to the number of second slots and the number of feedback channel groups, and map each ordered second slot to at least one feedback channel group according to the number of feedback channel groups to which each second slot is mapped.

[0064] As an example, assuming the number of second slots is J and the number of feedback channel groups is M, if M is greater than or equal to J, the J ordered second slots are sequentially mapped one-to-one to the M feedback channel groups, and the first one of the second slots is mapped to the first feedback channel group until J second slot data are mapped.

[0065] As an example, if M is greater than J, the J ordered second slots are mapped one-to-one to the M feedback channel groups, in order, until the feedback channel of the Jth second slot is mapped to the Jth feedback channel group, then the first of the second slots continues to be mapped to the (J+1)th feedback channel group, and so on, until each of the M feedback channel groups has a second slot mapped to it.

[0066] For example, if M is greater than J, then for the first through (M mod I)th second slots, each second slot is

[0067] In one embodiment, the feedback channel corresponding to the current second slot may be mapped to the sub-feedback channel group in the following manner: ordering the data channels of the current second slot and ordering the sub-feedback channel groups; and mapping the feedback channel corresponding to the ordered data channels of the current second slot to the sub-feedback channel group.

[0068] In one embodiment, the feedback channels corresponding to the ordered data channels of the current second slot may be mapped to the sub-feedback channel groups in the following manner: in response to the number of data channels of the current second slot being less than or equal to a certain set number, map the feedback channel corresponding to each data channel of the current second slot to one of the sub-feedback channel groups in order until the feedback channel corresponding to the current second slot is mapped; in response to the number of data channels of the current second slot being less than the set number, map the feedback channel corresponding to each data channel of the current second slot to one of the sub-feedback channel groups in order; after the feedback channel corresponding to the current second slot is mapped, start again with the feedback channel corresponding to one of the first data channels of the current second slot, and map the feedback channel corresponding to each data channel of the current second slot to each of the remaining sub-feedback channel groups until each sub-feedback channel group has a mapped feedback channel.

[0069] For example, if the number of data channels or sub-channels included in the current second slot is L, j and the number of sub-feedback channel groups is N j Assuming that, L j N data channels j The sub-feedback channel groups are mapped to at least one of the sub-feedback channel groups.

[0070] For example, N j and L j The manner in which the data channel is mapped to the sub-feedback channel group according to the magnitude of is the same as the manner in which the data channel is mapped to the feedback channel group according to the magnitude of M and I, and the description thereof will not be repeated here.
