[0019] Hereinafter, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly explained with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it should be understood that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments, and all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the present application fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

It should be understood that terms used in this manner may be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application can be practiced in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. It should also be understood that objects distinguished by "first" and "second" generally belong to a single category and do not limit the number of objects; for example, a first object may be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of connected objects, and the symbol " / " generally indicates that the related objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0021] It should be noted that the techniques described in the embodiments of the present application are not limited to Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, but can also be used in other wireless communication systems, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-Carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), and other systems. The terms "system" and "network" in the embodiments of the present application are often used interchangeably, and the described techniques can be used in other systems and wireless technologies in addition to those mentioned above. Although the following description describes New Radio (NR) systems for illustrative purposes and uses NR terminology in much of the following description, these techniques may also be applied to applications other than NR system applications, such as 6th Generation (6G) communication systems.

[0022] 1 shows a block diagram of a wireless communication system applicable to an embodiment of the present application. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network side device 12. Here, the terminal 11 may be a terminal side device such as a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer (PC), a laptop computer (also called a notebook computer), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a netbook, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a mobile internet device (MID), an augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) device, a robot, a wearable device, a vehicle-mounted equipment (VUE), a pedestrian-mounted equipment (PUE), a smart home (home devices equipped with wireless communication functions such as a refrigerator, a television, a washing machine, or furniture), a game console, a personal computer (PC), an automated teller machine (ATM), or a kiosk. The wearable device includes a smart watch, a smart wristband, a smart earphone, a smart glasses, a smart accessory (such as a smart bracelet, a smart ring, a smart necklace, a smart anklet, or the like), a smart wristlet, a smart wear, etc. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application are not limited to a specific type of the terminal 11. The network side equipment 12 may include an access network equipment or a core network equipment, where the access network equipment may be referred to as a radio access network equipment, a radio access network (RAN), a radio access network function, or a radio access network unit.The access network equipment 12 may include a base station, a WLAN access point, a WiFi node, etc., and the base station may be called a Node B, an evolved Node B (eNB), an access point, a base transceiver station (BTS), a radio base station, a radio transceiver, a basic service set (BSS), an extended service set (ESS), a home B node, a home evolved B node, a transmitting receiving point (TRP), or any other suitable term in the art. As long as the same technical effect can be achieved, the base station is not limited to a specific technical term. It should be noted that the embodiments of this application only take base stations in an NR system as examples, but the specific type of base station is not limited.

[0023] For example, many different wireless transceivers, such as LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GNSS, may be installed in the same terminal. Because the transceivers are in close proximity within the terminal, the terminal's receiver experiences interference from the terminal's transmitter at adjacent or harmonic frequencies. Such interference may be from the same or different radio access technologies (RATs).

[0024] When an IDC problem occurs in a terminal, the terminal can report the 3GPP® frequency points affected by the IDC to the network side device. The network side device can solve the IDC problem by deleting the affected frequency points (for example, by switching to a different frequency point or by deleting the serving cell corresponding to the frequency band) based on the frequency point information reported by the terminal. However, if the network side deletes all the frequency points, it will reduce the frequency domain resources available to the terminal and reduce resource utilization.

[0025] Therefore, the network side needs finer granularity of interference assistance information to avoid dealing with the IDC problem by deleting entire frequency points and further increase the frequency domain resources available to the UE.

[0026] In a 5G system, a terminal may only be able to support one small operating bandwidth (e.g., 5 MHz), but one cell on the network side may support a large bandwidth (e.g., 100 MHz), and the small bandwidth portion of the large bandwidth in which the terminal operates is considered to be the bandwidth part (BWP).

[0027] The network side device can allocate one or more BWPs to the terminal, and switch the BWP that the terminal can operate on by activating or deactivating the BWP.

[0028] It is common for the network side device to configure one default BWP, and when the terminal operates in another BWP in the cell, the network side device can configure a timer in the terminal that operates in the other BWP in the cell, and when the timer expires, the terminal switches back to the default BWP.

[0029] Next, with reference to the drawings, a method for reporting interference assistance information provided in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail according to several embodiments and use cases thereof.

[0030] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram 1 of an interaction flow of an embodiment of a method for reporting interference support information provided in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the method provided in this embodiment includes: The method includes step 101 in which, when an IDC problem occurs, the terminal notifies the network side device of interference support information including at least one of interference support information at the bandwidth portion BWP level and interference support information at the physical resource block PRB level.

[0031] Specifically, when a terminal's receiver receives interference from a transmitter and an IDC problem occurs, the terminal reports interference support information to the network side to support the network in handling the IDC problem. Alternatively, when a terminal's transmitter causes interference to the terminal's receiver and an IDC problem occurs, the terminal reports interference support information to the network side to support the network in handling the IDC problem. Therefore, the interference support information reported by the terminal plays an important role in solving the IDC problem.

[0032] It should be noted that if an IDC problem occurs and the terminal is unable to resolve it by itself, it may report interference support information to the network side.

[0033] The interference support information reported by the terminal includes at least one of interference support information at the bandwidth portion BWP level and interference support information at the physical resource block PRB level, where after the terminal reports the interference support information at the BWP level and / or PRB level, the network side can determine the interfering BWP and / or PRB or the interfered BWP or PRB according to the interference support information at the BWP level and / or PRB level, and further handle the IDC problem.

[0034] For example, if an IDC problem occurs in terminal A, terminal A reports interference support information to the network side, which includes information indicating that interference exists in BWP1. The network side can use the interference support information to instruct terminal A to stop sending and receiving data in BWP1 or to switch to another BWP and communicate using other BWP resources where there is no interference.

[0035] According to the method of the above embodiment, when an IDC problem occurs, the terminal reports interference support information to the network side to support the network in handling the IDC problem. Here, the interference support information reported by the terminal is at the BWP level and / or PRB level, i.e., the interference support information reported by the terminal is detailed up to the BWP and / or PRB level, which allows the network side to handle the IDC problem using finer-grained interference support information, thereby improving resource utilization.

[0036] Optionally, the BWP-level interference assistance information is used to inform the network side device of unavailable BWP information, or is used to inform the network side device of BWP information affected by IDC, or the BWP-level interference assistance information is used to inform the network side device of available BWP information, where the BWP-level interference assistance information is: The information may be one or more of BWP identification information, cell identification information, frequency identification information, bandwidth information, frequency domain starting position information, BWP bitmap, and location index information of candidate BWP information.

[0037] It should be noted that the BWP-level interference support information reported by the UE may be one or more BWP information words. Here, each BWP information word may correspond to one or more BWP resources. The BWP resource corresponding to each BWP information word may be represented by a BWP identifier, a cell identification information and a BWP identification information, a frequency domain starting position information and a bandwidth information, a frequency identification information and a bandwidth information identifier, etc. Optionally, each BWP information word may correspond to a specific frequency point, a specific frequency band, a specific cell group, a specific frequency band combination, a specific cell, etc.

[0038] Alternatively, the following examples may be specific examples of the above BWP information words:

[0039] For example, the BWP-level interference support information may include a cell ID and a BWP ID and indicate that the bandwidth portion BWP corresponding to the BWP ID and configured in the cell corresponding to the cell ID is an unavailable BWP resource. It should be noted that the unavailable BWP resource may be a frequency domain resource that is unavailable for uplink or downlink data transmission, as determined by the UE itself. Alternatively, the BWP-level interference support information may include a cell ID and a BWP ID and indicate that the bandwidth portion BWP corresponding to the BWP ID and configured in the cell corresponding to the cell ID is a BWP resource affected by IDC. In this case, the UE may further indicate whether the bandwidth portion BWP is an interferer or an interfered-with party. Specifically, the BWP-level interference support information may be a BWP list={BWP1, BWP2, BWP3}. In this case, it may indicate that all frequency domain resources corresponding to BWP IDs=1, 2, and 3 in all serving cells are unavailable BWP resources. Alternatively, the BWP-level interference support information may be a cell list={cell 1, cell 2, cell 3}. In this case, it may be indicated that all BWPs configured in serving cells corresponding to cell IDs=1, 2, and 3 are unavailable BWP resources. Alternatively, the BWP-level interference support information may be a BWP list={BWP1 (cell 1, cell 2), BWP2 (cell 2, cell 3)}. In this case, it may be indicated that frequency domain resources of BWP ID=1 configured in serving cells corresponding to cell IDs=1 and 2 and frequency domain resources of BWP ID=2 configured in serving cells corresponding to cell IDs=2 and 3 are unavailable BWP resources. Alternatively, the BWP-level interference support information may be a cell list={cell 1 (BWP1, BWP2), cell 2 (BWP2, BWP3)}.In this case, it may be indicated that the frequency domain resources of BWP IDs = 1 and 2 configured in the serving cell corresponding to cell ID = 1 and the frequency domain resources of BWP IDs = 2 and 3 configured in the serving cell corresponding to cell ID = 2 are all unavailable BWP resources. Other combination examples will not be listed one by one.

[0040] As another example, frequency identification information ARFCN and bandwidth information W may be included in the BWP level interference support information and transmitted, indicating that the frequency domain resources corresponding to (ARFCN-compatible frequency, ARFCN-compatible frequency+W), or (ARFCN-compatible frequency-W / 2, ARFCN-compatible frequency+W / 2), or (ARFCN-compatible frequency-W, ARFCN-compatible frequency) are unavailable resources.

[0041] As another example, the BWP level interference support information may include frequency domain start position information and bandwidth information W and be transmitted to indicate that the frequency domain resources corresponding to (frequencies f, f+W corresponding to the frequency domain start position information), (f / 2, f+W / 2), or (f, f) are unavailable resources.

[0042] As another example, a BWP bitmap may be included in the BWP-level interference support information and transmitted. A bit position in the BWP bitmap corresponds to a specific BWP. In one scenario, the bitmap may be designed to map candidate BWPs one by one to bit positions in the bitmap in ascending order of cell IDs and BWP IDs corresponding to the same cell ID. For example, a UE is configured with serving cells cell 1 and cell 2, where BWP1 and BWP2 are configured corresponding to cell 1, and BWP1 is configured corresponding to cell 2. Thus, the length of the BWP bitmap is 3 (i.e., equal to the total number of BWPs configured in the UE), and the first bit position of the bitmap corresponds to BWP1 configured in cell 1, the second bit position of the bitmap corresponds to BWP2 configured in cell 1, and the third bit position of the bitmap corresponds to BWP1 configured in cell 2. In another scenario, the bitmap may be designed to map candidate BWPs one by one to bit positions in the bitmap in the order of their configuration. For example, suppose a network device provides candidate BWP information for IDC problem detection to a terminal, and the BWP information transmitted in the information includes BWP1 for cell 1 and BWP1 for cell 2. Thus, the length of the BWP bitmap is 2 (i.e., equal to the total number of candidate BWPs allocated to the terminal), the first bit position of the bitmap corresponds to BWP1 allocated to cell 1, and the second bit position of the bitmap corresponds to BWP1 allocated to cell 2. In the above bitmap design, the specific value of the bit position may be used to notify the network side whether the BWP corresponding to the bit position is an unavailable BWP or an IDC-affected BWP. For example, a protocol may specify that a value of "1" in the bit position notifies the network side device that the BWP corresponding to the bit position is an unavailable BWP. Alternatively, a protocol may specify that a value of "1" in the bit position notifies the network side device that the BWP corresponding to the bit position is affected by IDC.Alternatively, the terminal may transmit additional information indicating whether the BWP is an interferer or an interfered party. For example, the terminal may transmit an additional interference direction bitmap, the length of which is equal to the length of the BWP bitmap, and the bit position of the bitmap is used to indicate whether the BWP corresponding to the bit position is an interferer or an interfered party. For example, in a BWP bitmap {1,0,1}, the first bit corresponds to BWP1 of cell 1, the second bit corresponds to BWP2 of cell 1, and the third bit corresponds to BWP1 of cell 2. A value of 1 in a bit position indicates that the corresponding BWP is a BWP affected by IDC. The interference direction bitmap separately sent by the UE is {1,0,0}, where the first bit corresponds to BWP1 of cell 1 and has a value of 1, indicating that the BWP is the interfering side; the second bit corresponds to BWP2 of one cell 1 and indicates that the BWP is not a BWP affected by IDC in the BWP bitmap, so the network side equipment can ignore the bit position corresponding to the BWP in the interference direction bitmap; and the third bit corresponds to BWP1 of cell 2 and has a value of 0, indicating that the BWP is the interfered side.

[0043] As another example, the BWP-level interference support information may be transmitted including the location index information of the candidate BWPs. For example, a network-side device provides a terminal with candidate BWP information for IDC problem detection, and the transmitted BWP information includes BWP1 in cell 1 and BWP1 in cell 2. The terminal associates the candidate BWPs with the location indexes according to a specified rule. The specified rule may be based on the order in which the candidate BWPs are provided or located. In the above example, the terminal may associate BWP1 in cell 1 with location index 1 and BWP1 in cell 2 with location index 2. By broadcasting the location index of the BWP, the terminal notifies whether the BWP corresponding to the location index is a BWP affected by IDC.

[0044] Optionally, the PRB-level interference support information is used to inform the network side device of unavailable PRB information, or is used to inform the network side device of PRB information affected by IDC, or the PRB-level interference support information is used to inform the network side device of available PRB information, where the PRB-level interference support information may include one or more of the following: PRB starting point location information, where the PRB starting point location information may be expressed as a PRB ID or a PRB index. PRB end point location information, where the PRB end point location information may be expressed as a PRB ID or a PRB index. PRB quantity information. Bandwidth information. Optionally, the bandwidth information may be used to determine the number of PRBs. For example, the network side can determine the subcarrier spacing (SCS) based on the BWP where the PRB resource is located, and then convert the bandwidth indicated by the bandwidth information into the number of PRBs. PRB bitmap. The location index of the candidate PRB information.

[0045] The PRB level interference assistance information further includes one or more of the following: BWP identification information, where the BWP identifier indicates the bandwidth portion BWP to which the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PRB information belongs, and is used to notify the network side device of unavailable PRB resources, PRB resources affected by IDC, or available PRB resources in the bandwidth portion corresponding to the BWP ID. Cell identification information, where the cell identifier indicates the cell to which the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PRB information belongs, and is used to notify the network side device of unavailable PRB resources, PRB resources affected by IDC, or available PRB resources in the frequency domain resource corresponding to the cell ID. Frequency band identification information, where the frequency band identification information indicates the frequency band to which the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PRB information belongs, and is used to notify the network side device of unavailable PRB resources, PRB resources affected by IDC, or available PRB resources in the frequency domain resource corresponding to the frequency band identifier.

[0046] It should be noted that the PRB-level interference support information reported by the terminal may be one or more PRB information words. Here, each PRB information word may indicate one PRB or multiple PRBs, such as multiple consecutive PRBs. The PRB resource corresponding to each PRB information word may be represented by PRB origin location information, a PRB ID, or a PRB index. In this case, the PRB information word corresponds to one PRB resource. Each PRB information word may further be represented by PRB origin location information and PRB end location information, PRB start location information and PRB quantity information, PRB origin location information and bandwidth information, PRB end location information and PRB quantity information, PRB end location information and bandwidth information, etc. In this case, the PRB information word corresponds to multiple PRB resources, for example, multiple consecutive PRBs.

[0047] Optionally, each PRB information word may correspond to a particular frequency point, a particular frequency band, a particular cell group, a particular frequency band combination, a particular cell, etc.

[0048] Alternatively, the following example may be a specific example of the PRB information word described above.

[0049] For example, the PRB-level interference support information may be PRB origination location information and PRB end location information, indicating that all frequency domain resources from the PRB corresponding to the PRB origination location information to the PRB corresponding to the PRB end location information are unavailable PRB resources. Alternatively, the PRB-level interference support information may be PRB origination location information and PRB quantity information (e.g., N), indicating that N consecutive PRBs from the PRB corresponding to the PRB origination location information are unavailable PRB resources. Alternatively, the PRB information may be PRB end location information and PRB quantity information (e.g., N), indicating that N consecutive PRBs from the PRB corresponding to the PRB end location information forward are candidate PRB resources for IDC problem detection.

[0050] As another example, the PRB-level interference support information may be allocation index information of candidate PRB resources. For example, the network side device provides candidate PRB information for IDC problem detection to the terminal. The candidate PRB information may include multiple PRB information words, each PRB information word corresponding to a specific PRB or multiple specific PRBs. The terminal needs to detect whether an IDC problem occurs in the PRB resource corresponding to each PRB information word. If an IDC problem occurs, the terminal reports the allocation index corresponding to the PRB resource to the network side device. Specifically, the terminal associates the candidate PRB resources with the allocation indexes according to a specified rule. The specified rule may be based on the order in which the candidate PRBs are provided or allocated. In the above example, the terminal may associate the PRB resources corresponding to each PRB information word with the allocation index. For example, the first PRB information word transmitted in the PRB information for IDC problem detection may be associated with allocation index 1, and the second PRB information word may be associated with allocation index 2, etc.

[0051] As another example, the PRB-level interference support information may be a PRB bitmap. For example, bit positions in the PRB bitmap correspond to specific candidate PRB resources. In one scenario, the bitmap may be designed so that the candidate PRB resources are mapped one by one to the bit positions in the bitmap in the order in which they are arranged. For example, a network side device may provide candidate PRB information for detecting an IDC problem to a terminal. The candidate PRB information may include and transmit multiple PRB information words, each of which corresponds to a specific PRB or multiple specific PRBs. The terminal needs to detect whether an IDC problem has occurred in the PRB resource corresponding to each PRB information word. In the above example, the bit positions in the PRB bitmap correspond to the PRB information words. For example, a protocol may specify that a value of "1" in a bit position indicates to the network side device that the PRB corresponding to that bit position is an unavailable PRB. Alternatively, a protocol may specify that a value of "1" in a bit position indicates to the network side device that the PRB corresponding to that bit position is affected by IDC. In another example, the bitmap may be designed to map PRB IDs or PRB indexes to bit positions in the bitmap one by one. In this example, one bit position corresponds to a PRB resource of a specific PRB ID or PRB index. When the bit position is set to a specific value, it indicates that the PRB resource corresponding to the bit position is an unavailable PRB resource, or indicates that the PRB resource corresponding to the bit position is a PRB resource affected by an IDC, or indicates that the PRB resource corresponding to the bit position is an available PRB resource. The protocol may specify the specific meaning of a bit position when it is set to a specific value.

[0052] In one embodiment, a method for reporting interference assistance information includes: The method further includes the step of the terminal obtaining broadcast configuration information of the interference support information.

[0053] The terminal selectively broadcasts the interference-supporting information to a network-side device based on broadcast configuration information for the interference-supporting information. Here, the notification arrangement information is On / off control information for reporting interference support information, Granularity arrangement information for reporting interference support information; The target candidate resource information includes at least one item.

[0054] Specifically, the terminal determines how to report interference-supporting information according to the acquired reporting configuration information. The reporting configuration information includes at least one of on / off control information for reporting interference-supporting information, granularity configuration information for reporting interference-supporting information, and target candidate resource information. That is, the terminal needs to report BWP-level and / or PRB-level interference-supporting information according to the acquired on / off control information for reporting interference-supporting information, and / or granularity configuration information for reporting interference-supporting information, and / or target candidate resource information, thereby reporting interference-supporting information with finer granularity, thereby helping network side devices solve the IDC problem and achieving the purpose of improving resource utilization.

[0055] Optionally, the broadcast configuration information may include explicit on / off control information or implicit on / off control information. For example, the broadcast configuration information includes an explicit instruction field, and the information indicated in the instruction field is on / off control information. Alternatively, the broadcast configuration information includes granular configuration information and / or target candidate resource information. In this case, the granular configuration information and / or target candidate resource information can implicitly indicate the on / off control information. For example, when the broadcast configuration information includes granular configuration information, the broadcast configuration information instructs the terminal to turn on the broadcast of BWP level and / or PRB level interference support information.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the terminal obtains broadcast configuration information of interference support information, where the broadcast configuration information includes at least one of on / off control information for broadcasting interference support information, granularity configuration information for broadcasting interference support information, and target candidate resource information, and the terminal broadcasts the interference support information based on the broadcast configuration information, broadcasts BWP level and / or PRB level interference support information, thereby realizing broadcast of finer granularity interference support information.

[0057] In one embodiment, the on / off control information is Whether the terminal turns on or off reporting of BWP level and / or PRB level interference support information; The terminal is used to indicate at least one of information on whether to turn on or not to turn on reporting of BWP level and / or PRB level interference support information for the target candidate resource.

[0058] Specifically, the on / off control information in the notification configuration information can instruct the terminal whether to turn on or off the notification of BWP level and / or PRB level interference support information, and / or whether to turn on or off the notification of BWP level and / or PRB level interference support information for the target candidate resource.

[0059] When the on / off control information is included in the broadcast configuration information and transmitted, and the on / off control information included in the broadcast configuration information and transmitted is set to a specific value, the terminal considers that the terminal is configured to allow broadcasting of interference support information, and selectively when the on / off control information is included in the broadcast configuration information and transmitted, and the on / off control information included in the broadcast configuration information and transmitted is set to a specific value, the terminal can turn on broadcasting of BWP level and / or PRB level interference support information, or turn on broadcasting of BWP level and / or PRB level interference support information for a target candidate resource, that is, the terminal can obtain the on / off control information in the broadcast configuration information to decide what level of interference support information to turn on, or decide what level of interference support information to turn on for which resource, thereby realizing broadcasting of interference support information with finer granularity.

[0060] In the above embodiment, the on / off control information is used to instruct the terminal to turn on reporting of interference support information at the bandwidth portion BWP level and / or physical resource block PRB level, or the on / off control information is used to instruct the terminal to turn on reporting of interference support information at the BWP level and / or PRB level on resources corresponding to the target candidate resource information. That is, the terminal can obtain the on / off control information in the reporting configuration information to determine what level of interference support information to turn on, or determine which resource to turn on what level of interference support information to turn on, thereby realizing reporting of interference support information with finer granularity.

[0061] It should be noted that the on / off control information may be explicit on / off control information or implicit on / off control information.

[0062] As an example of explicit on / off control information, the format of the on / off control information is: The first length indication field, It is one of the first bitmaps.

[0063] Specifically, the on / off control information included in the broadcast configuration information and transmitted may be an instruction field of a first length, and the value of the instruction field can instruct the terminal whether to turn on or off the broadcast of BWP-level and / or PRB-level interference supporting information. In this case, the on / off control information corresponds to on / off control instruction information per UE. Alternatively, the on / off control information can instruct the terminal whether to turn on or off the broadcast of BWP-level and / or PRB-level interference supporting information for the target candidate resource. In this case, the on / off control information corresponds to on / off control information per resource (e.g., per frequency, per BWP, or per PRB).

[0064] For example, the value of the indication field of the on / off control information is represented by the bit position of the first length, for example, a 1-bit indication field idc-indication-r18 of the on / off control information is introduced, and when the indication field idc-indication-r18 of the on / off control information is set to true, the terminal is configured to be allowed to report interference support information at the BWP level and / or PRB level. In this example, it is considered that the terminal turns on reporting of interference support information at the per BWP and / or per PRB level for all configured candidate resources (e.g., candidate frequency resources for IDC problem detection). An exemplary signaling configuration is as follows: JPEG0007789934000001.jpg63141 Here, the Idc-Indication-r18 field is used to indicate whether the terminal is configured to turn on transmission of IDC interference support information (InDeviceCoexindication) to the network side at the PRB level / BWP level.

[0065] The on / off control information may further be represented by a first bitmap, and a bit position in the first bitmap is used to indicate whether to turn on or off broadcasting of BWP-level and / or PRB-level interference support information for a target candidate resource. In the signaling configuration described below, a candidate frequency list for IDC problem detection and bitmap information for indicating whether to turn on or off broadcasting of BWP-level and / or PRB-level interference support information for resources corresponding to the candidate frequency list are included in the interference support information broadcast configuration information and are transmitted. The n-th bit position in the first bitmap corresponds to the n-th frequency in the candidate frequency list, and when this bit position is set to a specific value, it indicates that the frequency resource supports broadcasting of BWP-level and / or PRB-level interference support information.

[0066] An exemplary signaling arrangement is as follows: JPEG0007789934000002.jpg78141

[0067] It should be noted that the specific value may be configured by the network side device or may be predefined in the protocol.

[0068] Optionally, when the broadcast configuration information includes and transmits granularity configuration information for broadcasting interference support information and / or target candidate resource information for IDC problem detection, the terminal is considered to be configured to be permitted to broadcast interference support information, where the target candidate resource information for IDC problem detection may be a newly introduced information field. Furthermore, the terminal is considered to be configured to be permitted to broadcast finer granularity interference support information, for example, the terminal is considered to be configured to be permitted to broadcast BWP-level and / or PRB-level interference support information. For example, when the broadcast configuration information includes and transmits candidate BWP information for IDC problem detection, the terminal is considered to be configured to be permitted to broadcast BWP-level interference support information. When the broadcast configuration information includes and transmits candidate PRB information for IDC problem detection, the terminal is considered to be configured to be permitted to broadcast PRB-level interference support information.

[0069] As an example of implicit on / off control information, target candidate resource information (e.g., a candidate frequency list) for IDC problem detection may be included in and transmitted as part of interference support information broadcast configuration information. The target candidate resource information may be a newly introduced information field used to instruct the broadcasting of BWP-level / PRB-level interference support information to be turned on for frequency resources included in the candidate frequency list. Optionally, in the signaling configuration described below, compared to the conventional mechanism, a new candidate frequency list, CandidateServingFreqListNR-r18, for IDC problem detection may be included and transmitted as part of interference support information broadcast configuration information. In this case, it is considered that the terminal has turned on broadcasting of BWP-level or PRB-level interference support information for frequency resources included in CandidateServingFreqListNR-r18, but has not turned on broadcasting of BWP-level or PRB-level interference support information for frequency resources included in CandidateServingFreqListNR-r16.

[0070] As an example, the signaling arrangement is as follows: JPEG0007789934000003.jpg81164 Here, the granularity allocation information for reporting interference support information is A first indication field reporting BWP level interference support information; It may be one or more of the second indication fields reporting PRB-level interference support information.

[0071] Optionally, the first instruction field is Whether the terminal turns on or off the reporting of BWP level interference support information, Used for indicating at least one of information whether the terminal turns on or does not turn on reporting of BWP level interference support information for the target candidate resource; The second instruction field is Whether the terminal turns on or off the reporting of PRB-level interference support information; The parameter is used to indicate at least one of information on whether the terminal should turn on or off reporting of PRB-level interference support information for the target candidate resource.

[0072] Specifically, when the first instruction field is included in the broadcast configuration information and transmitted, and the first instruction field included in the broadcast configuration information and transmitted is set to a specific value, the terminal is considered to be configured to be permitted to broadcast BWP-level interference support information or to turn on the broadcast of BWP-level interference support information for the target candidate resource.

[0073] When the second instruction field is included in the broadcast configuration information and transmitted, and the second instruction field included in the broadcast configuration information and transmitted is set to a specific value, the terminal is considered to be configured to be permitted to broadcast PRB-level interference support information or to turn on the broadcast of PRB-level interference support information for the target candidate resource.

[0074] Optionally, the format of the first instruction field is: A second length indication field, It is one of the second bitmaps.

[0075] Optionally, the format of the second instruction field is A third length indication field, It is one of the third bitmaps.

[0076] As an example, granularity allocation information is included in the broadcast allocation information of interference-supporting information and transmitted. Here, when the first instruction field for broadcasting BWP-level interference-supporting information and the second instruction field for broadcasting PRB-level interference-supporting information are both 1-bit instruction fields with a value of 0, this means that broadcasting BWP-level interference-supporting information and broadcasting PRB-level interference-supporting information are not turned on. Alternatively, when the first instruction field and the second instruction field are both 1-bit instruction fields with a value of 1, this means that broadcasting BWP-level interference-supporting information and broadcasting PRB-level interference-supporting information are turned on. Alternatively, when the first instruction field and the second instruction field are 1-bit instruction fields with a value of 0 and 1, respectively, this means that broadcasting BWP-level interference-supporting information is not turned on, but broadcasting PRB-level interference-supporting information is turned on. When the first instruction field and the second instruction field are 1-bit instruction fields with a value of 1 and 0, respectively, this means that broadcasting BWP-level interference-supporting information is turned on, but broadcasting PRB-level interference-supporting information is not turned on. In the signaling arrangement as shown below, when the broadcast arrangement information is transmitted including a candidate frequency list for detecting IDC problems and a first instruction field for broadcasting BWP-level interference supporting information, the terminal is considered to turn on the broadcasting of BWP-level interference supporting information for all frequencies included in CandidateServingFreqListNR-r16.

[0077] As an example, the signaling arrangement is as follows: JPEG0007789934000004.jpg76146

[0078] As another example, the first indication field reporting interference supporting information at the BWP level and the second indication field reporting interference supporting information at the PRB level are both bitmaps.

[0079] Specifically, the bit positions of the second bitmap are used to indicate whether to turn on or off the broadcast of BWP-level interference supporting information for the target candidate resource. In the signaling configuration described below, the interference supporting information broadcast configuration information includes a candidate frequency list for IDC problem detection and bitmap information for indicating whether to turn on or off the broadcast of BWP-level interference supporting information for resources corresponding to the candidate frequency list, and is transmitted. The n-th bit position in the second bitmap corresponds to the n-th frequency in the candidate frequency list, and when this bit position is set to a specific value, it indicates that the frequency resource supports the broadcast of BWP-level interference supporting information.

[0080] The bit positions of the third bitmap are used to indicate whether to turn on or off the reporting of PRB-level interference supporting information for the target candidate resource. In the signaling configuration described below, the interference supporting information reporting configuration information includes a candidate frequency list for IDC problem detection and bitmap information for indicating whether to turn on or off the reporting of PRB-level interference supporting information for the resource corresponding to the candidate frequency list, and is transmitted. The n-th bit position in the third bitmap corresponds to the n-th frequency in the candidate frequency list, and when this bit position is set to a specific value, it indicates that the frequency resource supports the reporting of PRB-level interference supporting information.

[0081] As an example, the signaling arrangement is as follows: JPEG0007789934000005.jpg88125 Here, the target candidate resource information for IDC problem detection may be one or more of the following:

[0082] The target candidate resource information is candidate frequency information, Candidate BWP information, It includes at least one item of candidate PRB information.

[0083] Optionally, the candidate BWP information includes: The information includes at least one of BWP identification information, cell identification information, frequency identification information, bandwidth information, frequency domain origin position information, BWP bitmap, and frequency band identification information.

[0084] As an example, the signaling arrangement is as follows: JPEG0007789934000006.jpg114164

[0085] Optionally, the candidate PRB information includes at least one of PRB starting point location information, PRB ending point location information, PRB quantity information, bandwidth information, and a PRB bitmap.

[0086] Optionally, the candidate PRB information comprises: The information further includes at least one of frequency point information, BWP information, cell information, and frequency band information.

[0087] Specifically, for example, the candidate frequency information for detecting an IDC problem may be a candidate frequency list configured by a network side device, and the terminal will report interference support information even if any frequency in the candidate frequency list is affected by IDC. Different from the conventional mechanism in which candidate frequencies are configured by a network, the candidate frequency information may be a newly introduced information domain. When the network side device provides the candidate frequency information, the terminal can report BWP-level and / or PRB-level interference support information even if any candidate frequency is affected by IDC.

[0088] For example, the candidate BWP information for detecting the IDC problem may be a BWP information list arranged by the network side device, and the terminal will also broadcast interference support information when the frequency domain corresponding to any BWP information in the BWP information list is affected by the resource IDC. Here, the candidate BWP information is: The BWP bitmap includes at least one of BWP identification information, cell identification information, frequency identification information, bandwidth information, frequency domain origin information, BWP bitmap, and frequency band identification information. Each bit position in the BWP bitmap corresponds to a specific BWP. Specifically, the bit positions in the BWP bitmap may be mapped one by one in ascending order of cell IDs and ascending order of BWP IDs corresponding to the same cell ID.

[0089] It should be noted that the candidate BWP information for IDC problem detection configured by the network side may include one or more BWP information words. Here, each BWP information word may correspond to one or more BWP resources. The BWP resources corresponding to each BWP information word may be represented by a BWP identifier, a cell identification information and a BWP identification information, a frequency domain starting position information and a bandwidth information, a frequency identification information and a bandwidth information identifier, etc.

[0090] Optionally, each BWP information word may correspond to a particular frequency point, a particular frequency band, a particular cell group, a particular frequency band combination, a particular cell, etc.

[0091] Alternatively, the following examples may be specific examples of each of the above BWP information words:

[0092] For example, the candidate BWP information may be BWP list={BWP1, BWP2, BWP3}, in which case the UE considers all frequency domain resources corresponding to BWP IDs=1, 2, and 3 in all serving cells as candidate resources for IDC problem detection. Alternatively, the candidate BWP information may be cell list={cell 1, cell 2, cell 3}, in which case the UE considers all BWPs configured in serving cells corresponding to cell IDs=1, 2, and 3 as candidate BWP resources for IDC problem detection. Alternatively, the candidate BWP information may be BWP list={BWP1(cell 1, cell 2), BWP2(cell 2, cell 3)}, in which case the UE considers all frequency domain resources of BWP ID=1 configured in serving cells corresponding to cell IDs=1 and 2 and frequency domain resources of BWP ID=2 configured in serving cells corresponding to cell IDs=2 and 3 as candidate BWP resources for IDC problem detection. Alternatively, the candidate BWP information may be cell list={cell 1 (BWP1, BWP2), cell 2 (BWP2, BWP3)}, in which case the UE considers that the frequency domain resources of BWP IDs=1 and 2 configured in the serving cell corresponding to cell ID=1 and the frequency domain resources of BWP IDs=2 and 3 configured in the serving cell corresponding to cell ID=2 are all candidate BWP resources for IDC problem detection. Other combination examples will not be listed one by one.

[0093] As another example, the candidate BWP information may be BWP list={(BWP1, BWP2)}, where BWP1 is represented by frequency domain start position information and bandwidth information. In this case, the terminal considers that a frequency domain resource corresponding to (frequency point corresponding to the frequency domain start position information, frequency point corresponding to the frequency domain start position information+bandwidth) is a candidate BWP resource for IDC problem detection. Or, BWP1 is represented by frequency identifier and bandwidth information, for example, frequency identifier parameter ARFCN and bandwidth information W. In this case, the terminal considers that a frequency domain resource corresponding to (ARFCN corresponding frequency, ARFCN corresponding frequency+W), or (ARFCN corresponding frequency-W / 2, ARFCN corresponding frequency+W / 2), or (ARFCN corresponding frequency-W, ARFCN corresponding frequency) is a candidate BWP resource for IDC problem detection. Other combination examples will not be listed one by one.

[0094] As another example, the candidate BWP information may be a BWP bitmap. A bit position in the BWP bitmap corresponds to a specific BWP. The bitmap may be designed so that the bit positions in the bitmap are mapped one by one in ascending order of cell IDs and ascending order of BWP IDs corresponding to the same cell ID. For example, suppose that serving cells cell 1 and cell 2 are configured in a UE, and BWP1 and BWP2 are configured corresponding to cell 1, and BWP1 is configured corresponding to cell 2. Thus, the length of the BWP bitmap is 3 (i.e., equal to the total number of BWPs configured in the UE), and the first bit position of the bitmap corresponds to BWP1 configured in cell 1, the second bit position of the bitmap corresponds to BWP2 configured in cell 1, and the third bit position of the bitmap corresponds to BWP1 configured in cell 2. In the above bitmap design, the specific value of the bit position may be used to notify the UE whether the BWP corresponding to the bit position is a candidate BWP resource for IDC problem detection. For example, a protocol may specify that a value of "1" in a bit position indicates to the terminal that the BWP corresponding to that bit position is a candidate BWP resource for IDC problem detection. Alternatively, a protocol may specify that a value of "0" in a bit position indicates to the terminal that the BWP corresponding to that bit position is not a candidate BWP resource for IDC problem detection. For example, a BWP bitmap may be {1,0,1}, where the first bit position corresponds to BWP1 in cell 1, the second bit position corresponds to BWP2 in cell 1, and the third bit position corresponds to BWP1 in cell 2. A value of 1 in a bit position means that the corresponding BWP is a candidate BWP resource for IDC problem detection. That is, BWP1 in cell 1 and BWP1 in cell 2 are candidate BWP resources for IDC problem detection, but BWP2 in cell 1 is not a candidate BWP resource for IDC problem detection.

[0095] Optionally, the candidate PRB information for detecting an IDC problem may be a PRB information list configured by a network side device, and the terminal will also report interference support information when a frequency domain resource corresponding to any PRB information in the PRB information list is affected by IDC. Here, the candidate PRB information may be one or more of the following: PRB starting point location information, where the PRB starting point location information may be expressed as a PRB ID or a PRB index. PRB end point location information, where the PRB end point location information may be expressed as a PRB ID or a PRB index. PRB quantity information. Bandwidth information. Optionally, the bandwidth information may be used to determine the number of PRBs. For example, the UE can determine the SCS based on the BWP where the PRB resource is located, and then convert the bandwidth indicated in the bandwidth information into the number of PRBs. Or, convert the bandwidth information into the number of PRBs based on the reference SCS. PRB bitmap.

[0096] It should be noted that the candidate PRB information for IDC problem detection configured by the network side may include one or more PRB information words. Here, each PRB information word may indicate a PRB or multiple PRBs, such as multiple consecutive PRBs. The PRB resource corresponding to each PRB information word may be represented by PRB origin location information, a PRB ID, a PRB index, a PRB bitmap, etc. In this case, the PRB information word corresponds to one PRB resource. Each PRB information word may further be represented by PRB origin location information and PRB destination location information, PRB origin location information and PRB quantity information, PRB origin location information and bandwidth information, PRB quantity information and PRB destination location information, PRB destination location information and PRB quantity information, PRB destination location information and bandwidth information, or a bitmap. In this case, the PRB information word corresponds to multiple PRB resources. For example, it may correspond to a number of consecutive PRBs. Optionally, each PRB information word may correspond to a particular frequency point, a particular frequency band, a particular cell group, a particular frequency band combination, a particular cell, etc.

[0097] Alternatively, the following examples may be specific examples of each of the above PRB information words:

[0098] For example, the candidate PRB information may be PRB origin location information and PRB end location information. In this case, the terminal considers all frequency domain resources from the PRB corresponding to the PRB origin location information to the PRB corresponding to the PRB end location information to be candidate PRB resources for IDC problem detection. Alternatively, the candidate PRB information may be PRB origin location information and PRB quantity information (e.g., N). In this case, the terminal considers N consecutive PRBs from the PRB corresponding to the PRB origin location information to be candidate PRB resources for IDC problem detection. Alternatively, the candidate PRB information may be PRB end location information and PRB quantity information (e.g., N). In this case, the terminal considers N consecutive PRBs from the PRB corresponding to the PRB end location information to be candidate PRB resources for IDC problem detection.

[0099] As another example, the candidate PRB information may be a PRB bitmap. For example, a bit position in the PRB bitmap corresponds to a specific candidate PRB resource. The bitmap may be designed to map the PRB IDs or PRB indexes to the bit positions in the bitmap one by one. In this example, one bit position corresponds to a PRB resource with a specific PRB ID or PRB index. When the bit position is set to a specific value, it indicates that the PRB resource corresponding to the bit position is a candidate PRB resource for IDC problem detection. For example, the protocol may specify that a value of "1" in the bit position notifies the terminal that the PRB corresponding to the bit position is a candidate PRB resource for IDC problem detection. The protocol may specify that a value of "0" in the bit position notifies the terminal that the PRB corresponding to the bit position is not a candidate PRB resource for IDC problem detection.

[0100] It should be noted that the network side equipment may further configure frequency point information (e.g., frequency point identifier) ​​and / or BWP information (BWP identifier) ​​and / or cell information (cell identifier) ​​and / or frequency band information (frequency band identifier) ​​corresponding to the above candidate PRB information.

[0101] Here, the BWP identifier indicates the bandwidth portion BWP to which the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PRB information belongs, and is used to notify the network side equipment of candidate PRB resources for IDC problem detection in the bandwidth portion corresponding to the BWP ID.

[0102] Cell identification information, where the cell identifier indicates the cell to which the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PRB information belongs, and is used to notify the network side device of candidate PRB resources for IDC problem detection in the frequency domain resource corresponding to the cell ID.

[0103] Frequency band identification information, where the frequency band identification information indicates the frequency band to which the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PRB information belongs, and is used to notify the network side device of candidate PRB resources for IDC problem detection in the frequency domain resource corresponding to the frequency band identifier.

[0104] It should be noted that the frequency domain resources corresponding to the above candidate BWP information and candidate PRB information may be frequency domain resources corresponding to the serving frequency points of the terminal, or may be frequency domain resources corresponding to the non-serving frequency points of the terminal.

[0105] Optionally, before the network side device provides broadcast configuration information of interference support information, the method further includes the terminal sending capability information to the network side device; The capacity information is First capability indication information supporting reporting of BWP level interference support information; The second capability indication information includes at least one item of second capability indication information that supports reporting of PRB-level interference support information.

[0106] Specifically, the terminal may notify the network side device of one or more of the following capability information: Capability indication information supporting reporting of BWP-level interference supporting information. For example, when a terminal reports capability information, the first capability indication information is included in the transmission, or the first capability indication information to be included is set to a specified value, indicating that the terminal supports reporting of BWP-level interference supporting information. Capability indication information supporting reporting of PRB-level interference supporting information, for example, when a terminal reports capability information, the terminal transmits the second capability indication information including the second capability indication, or when the second capability indication information to be included is set to a specified value, the second capability indication indicates that the terminal supports reporting of PRB-level interference supporting information.

[0107] In the above embodiment, the terminal broadcasts capability information supporting the broadcast of BWP level and / or PRB level interference support information, and the network side device can perform the broadcast configuration of the interference support information to the terminal based on the capability information broadcast by the terminal, which is low in implementation complexity.

[0108] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the method includes: The method further includes: receiving interference cancellation configuration information sent from a network side device by the terminal, the interference cancellation configuration information including at least one of BWP interference cancellation configuration information and PRB interference cancellation configuration information; and performing an interference cancellation action by the terminal based on the interference cancellation configuration information.

[0109] Optionally, the BWP interference cancellation configuration information is used to instruct a terminal to stop transmitting and receiving data on a BWP resource corresponding to the BWP interference cancellation configuration information, or the BWP interference cancellation configuration information is used to instruct a terminal to perform BWP switching, and the PRB interference cancellation configuration information is used to instruct a terminal to stop transmitting and receiving data on a PRB resource corresponding to the PRB interference cancellation configuration information.

[0110] Specifically, the terminal acquires interference cancellation configuration information and performs interference cancellation actions based on the interference cancellation configuration information. Here, the interference cancellation configuration information is determined by the network side based on the interference support information reported by the terminal and transmitted to the terminal. The interference cancellation configuration information is used to support the terminal in dealing with the IDC problem. Here, the interference cancellation configuration information includes one or more of the following information: BWP interference cancellation configuration information, where the BWP interference cancellation configuration information is used to instruct a terminal to stop transmitting and receiving data on a BWP resource corresponding to the BWP interference cancellation configuration information, or the BWP interference cancellation configuration information is used to instruct a terminal to perform BWP switching. PRB interference cancellation configuration information, where the PRB interference cancellation configuration information is used to instruct a terminal to stop transmitting and receiving data on a PRB resource corresponding to the PRB interference cancellation configuration information.

[0111] In the above embodiment, when an IDC problem occurs, the terminal reports interference support information to the network side to support the network in handling the IDC problem, the network side device sends interference resolution configuration information based on the interference support information, and the terminal performs interference resolution actions based on the interference resolution configuration information, where the interference support information reported by the terminal is at the BWP level and / or PRB level, i.e., the interference support information reported by the terminal is detailed up to the BWP and / or PRB, which allows the network side to handle the IDC problem with finer-grained interference support information and improves resource utilization.

[0112] In an embodiment of the present application, the network side device controls the terminal to report BWP and / or PRB level interference support information according to the on / off control information, where the on / off control information may be explicit control information or implicit control information, for example, including: Method 1 (explicit): A number of bits instruct the terminal whether to turn on reporting of BWP and / or PRB level interference support information, or whether to turn on reporting of BWP and / or PRB level interference support information for a target candidate resource (which may be indicated in an existing candidate frequency list or a new candidate frequency list). Method 2 (explicit): The terminal is instructed based on the target candidate frequency information and bitmap whether to turn on the reporting of BWP and / or PRB level interference support information, or whether to turn on the reporting of BWP and / or PRB level interference support information for the target candidate resource (which may be indicated in the existing candidate frequency list or in the new candidate frequency list). Method 3 (implicit): Candidate resource information that cannot report BWP and / or PRB level interference support information is included in the R16 candidate frequency list. The R18 candidate frequency list is newly expanded, and frequencies that support reporting BWP and / or PRB level interference support information are included in the subsequent frequency list newly introduced in R18. The different lists distinguish which frequencies support reporting BWP and / or PRB level interference support information.

[0113] Furthermore, the granularity configuration information may also implicitly indicate whether to turn on reporting of BWP and / or PRB level interference supporting information, or whether to turn on reporting of BWP and / or PRB level interference supporting information for target candidate resources (which may be indicated in an existing candidate frequency list or a new candidate frequency list).

[0114] In one embodiment, when the broadcast configuration information includes the on / off control field and the value of the on / off control field is a first target value, if an IDC problem occurs, the terminal broadcasts interference support information at a BWP level and / or a PRB level; or When the broadcast configuration information includes the on / off control field and the value of the on / off control field is a first target value, if an IDC problem occurs in a resource corresponding to the target candidate resource information, the terminal broadcasts interference support information at a BWP level and / or a PRB level; or When the broadcast configuration information includes the on / off control field and the value of the on / off control field is a first bitmap, if an IDC problem occurs, the terminal broadcasts interference support information at the BWP level and / or PRB level according to the first bitmap and the target candidate resource.

[0115] Optionally, the terminal broadcasting interference support information at a BWP level and / or a PRB level based on the broadcast configuration information, When the on / off control information is included in the broadcast configuration information, the terminal broadcasts interference support information of a BWP level and / or a PRB level based on the on / off control information; When the granularity arrangement information is included in the broadcast arrangement information, the terminal broadcasts interference support information of a BWP level and / or a PRB level based on the granularity arrangement information; When the target candidate resource information is included in the reporting configuration information, the terminal reports interference support information at the BWP level and / or PRB level based on the target candidate resource information.

[0116] Optionally, when the on / off control information is included in the broadcast configuration information, the terminal broadcasts interference support information of a BWP level and / or a PRB level based on the on / off control information, When the value of the on / off control information is a first target value, the terminal broadcasts interference support information of a BWP level and / or a PRB level; or When the value of the on / off control information is a first target value and an IDC problem occurs in a frequency domain resource corresponding to the target candidate frequency information, the terminal reports interference support information at a BWP level and / or a PRB level; or When the value of the on / off control information is a first bitmap, the terminal broadcasts interference support information of a BWP level and / or a PRB level using the first bitmap and the target candidate frequency information.
