Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0119] In the discussion of M-TRP uplink communication in Release (Rel) 18, embodiments of the present disclosure consider supporting simultaneous uplink communication between multiple antenna panels and multiple TRPs, namely STxMP. STxMP includes STxMP based on single downlink control information (S-DCI), namely S-DCI based STxMP, and STxMP based on multiple downlink control information (S-DCI), namely M-DCI based STxMP.

[0120] In some embodiments, in STxMP power control, in order to ensure that each TRP has appropriate uplink transmit power for uplink communication, it is desirable to perform power control based on each TRP. For example, in the scenario shown in Figure 1b, the terminal desires to perform power control for each TRP, namely, TRP1 and TRP2, and to transmit the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) using their respective uplink transmit powers.

[0121] In some embodiments, the power control of uplink communications can be divided into open-loop power control and closed-loop power control. Among them, closed-loop power control is that the network device dynamically adjusts the subsequent uplink transmit power based on the received power last sent to the network side. When adjusting the power, the network device needs to consider the power headroom (PH) of the terminal, that is, the PH reported by the terminal in the NR. In other words, the network device cannot arbitrarily adjust the uplink transmit power.

[0122] In some embodiments, a method for calculating the power headroom in an NR scenario is provided. For example, in the presence of an actual transmitted PUSCH, the power headroom can be determined by referring to the following formula.

[0123] The unit of PH is decibel (dB); P CMAX The maximum transmit power determined for the terminal; P 0_PUSCHis the open-loop receiving end power target value; α is the partial path loss compensation factor; PL is the downlink path loss estimate; f(i,l) is the lth power control adjustment state value, also known as the closed-loop power control parameter; M is the bandwidth of the resources allocated by PUSCH; Δ is other adjustment parameters; μ represents the sub-carrier space (SCS) size.

[0124] In some embodiments, when there is no PUSCH actually transmitted, the power headroom may be determined by referring to the power of the PUSCH. Specifically, the power headroom may be determined according to the following formula.

[0125] Since there is no PUSCH to be transmitted, the parameters in Formula 2 are taken as reference values. 0_PUSCH , α takes the value corresponding to j being 0, and PL takes q d When the value is 0, l in f(i,l) is 0. It can be considered as the maximum transmit power for reference.

[0126] In some embodiments, the power headroom is calculated according to the above formula 1 and formula 2. It can be seen that the calculation of the power headroom is similar to that of P. CMAX That is, regardless of whether there is actually a PUSCH sent, the maximum transmit power can be determined for the terminal. However, in the discussion of power control in STxMP, for P CMAX The definition of power limitation is still undetermined. In some cases, it is clear that power limitation for each terminal is definitely necessary to consider, but whether to introduce power limitation for each antenna panel or whether to introduce power limitation across all antenna panels of the terminal is still undetermined.

[0127] In some embodiments, for the power control of STxMP, it is expected that power control can be performed based on TRP or antenna panel, and it is best to report multiple power margins based on TRP / antenna panel. However, in this case, how to calculate the power margin cannot reuse the above formulas 1 and 2.

[0128] FIG2 is a schematic diagram illustrating an interaction between a method for determining and reporting power headroom according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2 , an embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method for reporting power headroom, which is used in a communication system 100. The method includes:

[0129] Step S2101: The terminal determines its own power headroom.

[0130] In some embodiments, a terminal may determine its own power headroom. The power headroom is the power headroom of at least one antenna panel on the terminal. It should be understood that a terminal may have one or more TRPs / antenna panels, and the terminal may determine the power headroom for each of the multiple TRPs / antenna panels.

[0131] In some embodiments, the power margin can also be considered as the power margin for uplink transmission between the terminal and at least one TRP of the network device.

[0132] In some embodiments, the terminal sends uplink data to the TRP of the network device through the antenna panel. The terminal can also receive downlink data sent by the network device TRP through the antenna panel.

[0133] In some embodiments, the antenna panel is an antenna set or antenna combination that can form an uplink beam. That is, a highly directional uplink signal can be generated by analog precoding. The direction can be any direction, but an antenna panel can only send signals in one direction at a time. An uplink beam can be indicated by a TCI, which contains a reference signal that provides quasi co-location (QCL) type D information, or is indicated by a sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI). Therefore, the antenna panel can also be described as an uplink beam, and the power margin of the antenna panel can also be the power margin of the uplink transmission beam or the uplink transmission beam set. Or the power margin of the antenna panel can also be the power margin of the TCI state or the TCI state set.

[0134] It is understood that the subsequent embodiments of this disclosure are described using the antenna panel of a terminal as an example. However, it should be understood that the TRP on the network device side or the uplink transmission beam, uplink transmission beam set, TCI state, or TCI state set can also be used as a replacement, and this disclosure is not limited to this.

[0135] In some embodiments, the power headroom may be determined based on one or more maximum transmit powers corresponding to at least one antenna panel.

[0136] For example, when the power headroom is determined based on a maximum transmit power, the maximum transmit power is the total maximum transmit power of multiple antenna panels on the terminal, or the total maximum transmit power of the terminal. The maximum transmit power can be referred to as a first maximum transmit power.

[0137] For another example, when the power headroom is determined based on multiple maximum transmit powers, each of the multiple maximum transmit powers can be the maximum transmit power of an antenna panel on the terminal, or can be the maximum transmit power of each antenna panel on the terminal. Different maximum transmit powers correspond to different antenna panels on the terminal. The maximum transmit power corresponding to each antenna panel can be referred to as the second maximum transmit power.

[0138] In some embodiments, the power headroom is determined based on a first maximum transmit power, where the first maximum transmit power is the total maximum transmit power of a plurality of antenna panels, or the first maximum transmit power is the maximum transmit power of the terminal.

[0139] For example, in the power control of STxMP, the power control for each terminal is performed, or the total transmit power limit for all antenna panels on the terminal is additionally introduced. In other words, in this case, there is only one total P for a terminal. CMAX , which can be called the first P CMAX The first P CMAX The total transmit power of all antenna panels on the corresponding terminal.

[0140] In some embodiments, when the power headroom is determined based on a first maximum transmit power, the power headroom is a first power headroom determined based on the first maximum transmit power and transmit powers of PUSCHs corresponding to different antenna panels.

[0141] For example, the power headroom is based on the first P CMAX Determine. Accordingly, the terminal only reports one power headroom, which can be called the first power headroom. In this case, the first power headroom is based on the first P CMAX The PUSCH transmission power corresponding to different antenna panels is determined.

[0142] For example, assuming that the terminal supports two antenna panels and the corresponding network equipment supports 2 TRPs, P1 can be used as the PUSCH transmit power corresponding to one antenna panel, and P2 can be used as the PUSCH transmit power corresponding to the other antenna panel. The first power margin can be determined by formula 3. PH = P CMAX -(P1+P2)…Formula 3

[0143] It can be understood that PH in Formula 3 represents the first power margin, and P in Formula 3 CMAX Indicates the first P CMAX .

[0144] In some embodiments, the terms "physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)", "UL data", etc. can be used interchangeably.

[0145] In some embodiments, when the power headroom is determined based on a first maximum transmit power, the power headroom may be multiple second power headrooms. The different second power headrooms are power headrooms for different antenna panels on the terminal. For the Rth antenna panel among the at least one antenna panel, the terminal may determine the second power headroom corresponding to the Rth antenna panel based on the transmit power corresponding to the Rth antenna panel, the first maximum transmit power, and the number of antenna panels. R is a positive integer.

[0146] For example, the power headroom is based on the first P CMAX Determine. Accordingly, the terminal can report the power headroom corresponding to different antenna panels respectively. The power headroom corresponding to each antenna panel can be called the second power headroom. In this case, for each antenna panel, the second power headroom corresponding to the antenna panel can be based on the first P CMAX The transmit power of the PUSCH corresponding to the antenna panel is determined.

[0147] Assuming that the terminal has two antenna panels, the second power margin 1 corresponding to antenna panel 1 can be The second power margin 2 corresponding to the antenna panel 2 can be It can be seen that, assuming there are X antenna panels, the second power margin corresponding to the Xth antenna panel can be P X represents the transmit power corresponding to the Xth antenna panel. Y represents the total number of antenna panels on the terminal. R is any positive integer in the range [1, Y]. X and Y are any positive integers.

[0148] In some embodiments, the power headroom may be determined based on multiple second maximum transmit powers. That is, the power headroom may be determined not based on the total maximum transmit power of the terminal or the total maximum transmit power of all antenna panels on the terminal, but based on the respective maximum transmit power of each antenna panel of the terminal. Different second maximum transmit powers are the maximum transmit powers of different antenna panels. In other words, each second maximum transmit power is the maximum transmit power of an antenna panel. In this case, the power headroom is multiple third power headrooms. Different third power headrooms are the power headrooms of different antenna panels, and different third power headrooms are determined based on different second maximum transmit powers. Corresponding power headrooms may be determined for the maximum transmit powers of multiple antenna panels of the terminal and the transmit power of the antenna panel. For example, for the Rth antenna panel among at least one antenna panel, the terminal may determine the third power headroom corresponding to the Rth antenna panel based on the transmit power corresponding to the Rth antenna panel (e.g., the PUSCH transmit power corresponding to the antenna panel) and / or the second maximum transmit power corresponding to the Rth antenna panel.

[0149] For example, the power control of each antenna panel is introduced into the power control of STxMP, and the second maximum transmission power corresponding to each antenna panel can be called the second P CMAX In order to better perform closed-loop power control of each antenna panel or each TRP, the terminal can report the power headroom of each TRP or each antenna panel.

[0150] For example, the power margin of different antenna panels is based on the second P corresponding to the antenna panel. CMAX Determine. Accordingly, the terminal can send the power headroom corresponding to different antenna panels respectively. Wherein, when each antenna panel corresponds to its own second maximum transmit power, the power headroom corresponding to each antenna panel can be called the third power headroom. For each antenna panel, the third power headroom corresponding to the antenna panel can be based on the second P CMAX The transmit power of the PUSCH corresponding to the antenna panel is determined.

[0151] Assuming that the terminal has two antenna panels, the third power margin 1 corresponding to antenna panel 1 can be P CMAX,1 -P1; the third power margin 2 corresponding to the antenna panel 2 may be P CMAX,2 -P2. Among them, P CMAX,1 Indicates the second P corresponding to antenna panel 1 CMAX , P CMAX,2 Indicates the second P corresponding to antenna panel 2 CMAX .

[0152] In some embodiments, when there is an actual PUSCH currently being transmitted, the power headroom may be determined based on a first transmit power of the actual PUSCH, wherein the first transmit power is determined based on a power control parameter of the actual PUSCH.

[0153] In some embodiments, when there is an actual PUSCH currently being transmitted, the power headroom may be determined based on a first transmit power and a first maximum transmit power of the actual PUSCH, wherein the first transmit power is determined based on a power control parameter of the actual PUSCH.

[0154] For example, for an actual PUSCH that is transmitted, when the terminal reports only one power headroom, the first transmit power corresponding to different antenna panels of the first power headroom may be determined according to the power control parameters of each antenna panel.

[0155] For another example, for an actual PUSCH that is sent, when the terminal can report the power margin corresponding to different antenna panels separately, the first transmission power of the second power margin corresponding to different antenna panels can be determined based on the power control parameters associated with the TCI state indicated for each antenna panel.

[0156] In some embodiments, when there is an actual PUSCH currently being transmitted, the power headroom may be determined based on a first transmit power of the actual PUSCH and a second maximum transmit power corresponding to different antenna panels, wherein the first transmit power is determined based on a power control parameter of the actual PUSCH.

[0157] For another example, for an actual PUSCH that is sent, when the terminal can report the power margin corresponding to different antenna panels separately, the first transmission power of the third power margin corresponding to different antenna panels can be determined according to the power control parameters configured for each antenna panel through radio resource control (RRC).

[0158] In some embodiments, the power control parameters may include P 0_PUSCH , α, at least one of a pathloss reference signal (PL-RS) and a closed loop index (closed loop index).

[0159] In some embodiments, when there is no actual PUSCH being transmitted, the power headroom may be determined based on a second transmit power of the reference PUSCH, wherein the second transmit power may be determined by selecting different power control parameters according to different situations.

[0160] In some embodiments, in the absence of an actual PUSCH being transmitted, the transmit powers of different antenna panels may be determined based on a second transmit power of the same reference PUSCH.

[0161] For example, for different antenna panels of a terminal, the same power control parameter may be used to determine the transmit power of the different antenna panels.

[0162] In some embodiments, the second transmit power of the same reference PUSCH is determined according to a specific power configuration parameter in the power configuration parameter list.

[0163] For example, the same power control parameter can be a specific power configuration parameter in the power configuration parameter list. For example, P1 and P2 can be determined based on the first power configuration parameter in the power configuration parameter list. 0_PUSCH , α, and PL-RS can be determined based on the first power configuration parameter in the power configuration parameter list, and the closed-loop index defaults to 0. In this case, the determined P1 and P2 are the same.

[0164] In some embodiments, the second transmit power of the same reference PUSCH is determined according to a power configuration parameter associated with a specific TCI state identifier in a TCI state list.

[0165] For example, the same power control parameter may be a power configuration parameter associated with a specific TCI state identifier in the TCI state list. For example, P1 and P2 may be determined based on the power configuration parameter associated with the TCI state identifier with the smallest TCI state identifier in the TCI state list. In this case, the determined P1 and P2 are the same.

[0166] In some embodiments, the second transmit power of the same reference PUSCH is determined by a specific power configuration parameter set configured by RRC.

[0167] For example, if the TCI state is not associated with the power configuration parameter, P1 and P2 may be determined based on one of the multiple power configuration parameter sets configured by RRC, such as the first power configuration parameter set. In this case, the determined P1 and P2 are the same.

[0168] In some embodiments, terms such as "certain", "preset", "preset", "setting", "indicated", "a certain", "any", and "first" can be interchangeable. "Specific A", "preset A", "preset A", "setting A", "indicated A", "a certain A", "any A", and "first A" can be interpreted as A pre-specified in a protocol, etc., or as A obtained through setting, configuration, or indication, etc., or as specific A, a certain A, any A, or first A, etc., but not limited to this.

[0169] In some embodiments, in the absence of an actual PUSCH being transmitted, the transmit powers of different antenna panels may be determined based on the second transmit powers of the reference PUSCH on their respective antenna panels.

[0170] For example, a second transmit power of a reference PUSCH on each antenna panel may be determined.

[0171] In some embodiments, in the absence of an actual PUSCH being transmitted, for an S-DCI communication scheme, the second transmit power of different reference PUSCHs is determined based on power control parameters of respective antenna panels. Different power control references are associated with TCI states, and different power control parameters may be determined based on the TCI state corresponding to a specific codepoint in the TCI field of downlink control information (DCI) in the TCI state activated by the medium access control element (MAC CE).

[0172] For example, for S-DCI-based STxMP, if power control parameters are associated with TCI states, the TCI field is specified to contain multiple code points for different TCI states. The smallest code point contains multiple TCI-associated power control parameters to determine P1 and P2. For example, the number of TCI states can be determined based on the number of antenna panels in the terminal or the number of TRPs in the network device, for example, two.

[0173] Of course, the above is an exemplary description of using only the smallest code point as the specific code point. Any other possible code point can also be used as the specific code point, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0174] In some embodiments, in the absence of an actual PUSCH being transmitted, for an M-DCI communication scheme, the second transmit power of different reference PUSCHs can be determined based on power control parameters of their respective antenna panels. Different power control parameters are associated with TCI states, and different TCI states are determined by having different control resource set pool indices (CORESETPoolIndex) corresponding to the TCI state of a specific control resource set.

[0175] For example, for M-DCI based STxMP, if the power control parameter is associated with the TCI state, the TCI state of the CORESET with the smallest TCI state among all CORESETs with the same CORESETPoolIndex value for the control resource set (CORESET) corresponding to the antenna panel is identified for different panels. This is used to determine P1 and P2.

[0176] In some embodiments, the identifier may be an identity (ID) or an index.

[0177] In some embodiments, for the above-mentioned S-DCI based STxMP or M-DCI based STxMP scenario, different power control parameters are not associated with the TCI state, and different power control parameters can be determined by power configuration parameter sets configured for different antenna panels.

[0178] For example, if the power control parameters are not associated with the TCI state, P1 and P2 may be determined using two power control parameter sets configured by RRC. For example, the multiple power control parameter sets are two power control parameter sets. P1 and P2 are determined based on one of the two power control parameter sets, such as the first power control parameter set.

[0179] It is clear that in the formulas involved in the above embodiments, P1 and P2 are only for illustrative purposes. They represent the transmission power corresponding to each antenna panel or TRP when there are two antenna panels or two TRPs. Of course, more or less P values ​​can be introduced according to the actual number of antenna panels or TRPs. X , this disclosure is not limited.
