Technical Field

[0002] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communications, and in particular to a power control method and apparatus. Background Art

[0003] Compared to its predecessor, the fourth generation (4G), the fifth generation (5G) of mobile communication technology defines enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine-type communications (mMTC), and ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). These technologies aim to provide more reliable communication quality and a brand-new communication experience for the exponentially growing number of users. The substantial increase in the number of users in 5G networks and the explosive growth in data transmission necessitate greater channel capacity and higher spectral efficiency (SE). Furthermore, a key capability indicator for 5G requires 100 times the number of bits transmitted per joule of energy compared to 4G. Therefore, from the perspective of green communications, it is necessary to reduce energy consumption and improve the system's energy efficiency (EE). Therefore, how to configure uplink power is a pressing issue.

[0004] Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present application provides a communication method and device that can reduce energy consumption and improve the energy efficiency of the system to a certain extent.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a power control method, comprising: a base station receiving N uplink signals sent by a terminal device, where the N uplink signals are sent by the terminal device based on a first transmission power, and N is an integer greater than 1. The base station determines a second transmission power for the uplink signal of the terminal device based on a proportion of padding data in the N uplink signals. The base station sends power indication information to the terminal device, where the power indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to send the uplink signal at the second transmission power.

[0008] In this way, the base station can determine the service transmission status of the terminal device's uplink channel based on the padding data in the uplink signal sent by the terminal device, and further adjust the transmission power of the uplink channel based on the service transmission status, thereby avoiding resource waste, reducing system energy consumption, and improving system energy efficiency.

[0009] In one possible implementation, if the proportion of filler data in the N uplink signals meets a preset condition, the second transmission power is less than the first transmission power; the preset condition is used to indicate that the proportion of filler data in the N uplink signals exceeds a threshold.

[0010] In this way, the base station can determine the service situation of the terminal based on the proportion of filler data in the uplink signal. When the proportion of service data of the terminal is small, that is, the proportion of filler data is large, the transmission power of the uplink signal of the terminal device can be reduced, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the terminal device, further reducing the battery consumption of the terminal device, and extending the battery life of the device. In addition, it can improve the rationality of power allocation in the system to avoid waste of resources and improve the overall efficiency and throughput of the network. In addition, the present application sets corresponding power adjustment strategies for the service conditions of different terminal devices, which can avoid network congestion, improve communication efficiency, and enhance the user experience of online users. In addition, in an embodiment of the present application, in a scenario where the base station reduces the transmission power of a terminal device based on the service conditions, it can effectively reduce the inter-cell interference of the terminal device to other terminal devices in adjacent cells.

[0011] In a possible implementation, the method further includes: if the proportion of padding data in the N uplink signals does not meet the preset condition, then the second transmission power is greater than or equal to the first transmission power.

[0012] In this way, the base station can determine the service transmission status of the terminal device's uplink channel based on the padding data in the terminal's uplink signal. Furthermore, based on the service transmission status, it can determine whether there is resource waste in the terminal device's uplink channel. If not, the terminal device's transmission power can be increased or not adjusted to meet the needs of different terminal devices.

[0013] In one possible implementation, a single uplink signal includes a padding data field, the padding data field includes padding data indication information, the padding data indication information is used to indicate whether the single uplink signal includes padding data, and based on the proportion of padding data in N uplink signals, the second transmission power of the uplink signal of the terminal device is determined, including: determining whether the single uplink signal includes padding data based on the padding data indication information in the padding data field of the single uplink signal; if the padding data indication information indicates that the single uplink signal does not include padding data, determining that the proportion of padding data in the single uplink signal is 0; if the padding data indication information indicates that the single uplink signal includes padding data, obtaining the proportion of padding data in the single uplink signal.

[0014] In this way, the base station in this application can determine whether padding data is included by identifying the padding data field. If padding data is not included, the padding data ratio determination can be omitted. If padding data is included, the padding data ratio determination can be performed based on the padding data to determine whether the preset conditions are met.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the preset condition includes: the number of uplink signals in which the proportion of padding data exceeds a threshold among the N uplink signals is greater than a preset number. Thus, by setting the preset condition, whether the proportion of padding data exceeds the threshold can be measured. Thus, by setting an appropriate preset condition, a balance can be achieved between resource utilization and power adjustment accuracy.

[0016] In a possible implementation, the padding data ratio is a ratio of the padding data to the total data in the uplink signal, where the total data includes the padding data and valid data.

[0017] In a possible implementation manner, the second power indication information is carried in a downlink control information DCI field of a physical downlink control channel PDCCH.

[0018] In a second aspect, the present application provides a power control device, comprising: a receiving module, a configuration module, and a sending module. The receiving module is configured to receive N uplink signals sent by a terminal device, where the N uplink signals are sent by the terminal device based on a first transmission power, and N is an integer greater than 1; the configuration module is configured to determine a second transmission power for the uplink signal of the terminal device based on a proportion of padding data in the N uplink signals; and the sending module is configured to send power indication information to the terminal device, where the power indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to send the uplink signal at the second transmission power.

[0019] In one possible implementation, if the proportion of filler data in the N uplink signals meets a preset condition, the second transmission power is less than the first transmission power; the preset condition is used to indicate that the proportion of filler data in the N uplink signals exceeds a threshold.

[0020] In a possible implementation, if the proportion of padding data in the N uplink signals does not meet a preset condition, the second transmission power is greater than or equal to the first transmission power.

[0021] In one possible implementation, a single uplink signal includes a padding data field, the padding data field includes padding data indication information, the padding data indication information is used to indicate whether the single uplink signal includes padding data, and the configuration module is specifically used to: determine whether the single uplink signal includes padding data based on the padding data indication information in the padding data field of the single uplink signal; if the padding data indication information indicates that the single uplink signal does not include padding data, determine that the padding data ratio of the single uplink signal is 0; if the padding data indication information indicates that the single uplink signal includes padding data, obtain the padding data ratio of the single uplink signal.

[0022] In a possible implementation, the preset condition includes: the number of uplink signals in which the proportion of padding data exceeds a threshold among the N uplink signals is greater than a preset number.

[0023] In a possible implementation, the padding data ratio is a ratio of the padding data to the total data in the uplink signal, where the total data includes the padding data and valid data.

[0024] In a possible implementation manner, the second power indication information is carried in a downlink control information DCI field of a physical downlink control channel PDCCH.

[0061] The following is a brief description of the background technology that may be involved:

[0062] 1) Downlink channel

[0063] In order to support uplink / downlink data transmission, the carrier needs to carry downlink control signaling so that the uplink / downlink data can be successfully received. Since the information carried by these signalings comes from the physical layer (also called the L1 layer) or the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer (also called the L2 layer), these signalings can also be called downlink physical layer control signaling or downlink MAC layer control signaling. The downlink physical layer control signaling or downlink MAC layer control signaling includes: physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH), physical hybrid automatic repeat reQuest (HARQ) indicator channel (PHICH) and physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

[0064] The following describes the various control signaling in the control area:

[0065] PDCCH is mainly used to transmit downlink control information (DCI), and DCI includes at least one of the following: downlink scheduling information, uplink scheduling information, aperiodic CQI reporting request, multicast control channel (MCCH) information, uplink power control command, HARQ related information, radio network temporary identity (RNTI), etc.

[0066] The downlink scheduling information is used to instruct the UE to receive the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH). The uplink scheduling information is used to instruct the UE to transmit the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH). For example, the uplink scheduling information includes, but is not limited to, scheduling information for PUSCH transmission resources, uplink power control information, and time slot format indication information.

[0067] For example, in a protocol (e.g., R15 38.212), DCI includes but is not limited to 8 categories (may also include more categories, which are not limited in this application), including: DCI 0_0, DCI 0_1, DCI 1_0, DCI 1_1, DCI 2_0, DCI 2_1, DCI 2_2, and DCI 2_3.

[0068] The embodiments of the present application mainly involve DCI 0_1, which is used to indicate the transmit power control (TPC) instruction of the PUSCH. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application are only described using the uplink signal as an example of the PUSCH. In other embodiments, the uplink signal may also be other types of signals, that is, the power control method in the embodiments of the present application may also be applied to other types of uplink signals. Accordingly, the DCI used to indicate the TPC instruction of the corresponding uplink signal may also be other types of DCI, such as DCI 2_2, etc., which can be set according to actual needs and is not limited by this application.

[0069] 2) Inter-cell interference

[0070] The concept of inter-cell interference is briefly explained below with reference to Figure 1. For example, each terminal device can exchange data with the accessed base station. In this example, each terminal device sends an uplink signal as an example. In an actual application scenario, each base station can send a signal (i.e., a downlink signal) to at least one terminal device accessing the base station. As shown in Figure 1, in the process of base station 1 receiving the uplink signal of UE13, it may receive uplink signals (which may be called interference signals) from UE23 and UE31, that is, the uplink signal sent by UE23 to base station 2 may interfere with the uplink signal of UE13. Similarly, the uplink signal sent by UE31 to base station 3 may also interfere with the uplink signal of UE13. In other words, cell interference is formed between UE23, UE31 and UE13, so that the base station may not be able to correctly receive the uplink signal of UE13.

[0071] For example, to avoid cell interference, a common solution is to adjust the transmit power, for example, to increase the transmit power (also known as transmission power, not limited in this application) of the uplink signal of UE13, thereby improving spectrum efficiency, network energy efficiency, resource utilization efficiency, and ensuring network stability and reliability. However, with the increase in the number of mobile devices and the rise in data demand in 5G networks, inappropriate uplink power control may lead to the following problems:

[0072] (1) Interference problem: Excessive uplink power may cause interference between UEs, thereby affecting communication quality and system performance;

[0073] (2) Energy consumption: Excessive power consumption will lead to increased UE battery consumption and shorten the device life;

[0074] (3) Resource utilization issues: Unreasonable power allocation may lead to resource waste and reduce the overall efficiency and throughput of the 5G network;

[0075] (4) Network congestion: In a high-density network environment, without an effective power control strategy, the network may become congested, leading to increased communication delays and a decrease in user experience. Therefore, a good uplink power control solution is the basis for ensuring the performance, stability, and energy efficiency of 5G networks.

[0076] Currently, a related technical solution in LTE / NR has proposed a multi-cell base station uplink power control system.

[0077] The basic framework of uplink power control is defined by 3GPP 38.213, which is mainly based on the compensation power control (FPC) mechanism that combines fast closed-loop power control with open-loop power control for partial path loss compensation. The FPC mechanism is divided into three parts: open loop control (OLC), closed loop control (CLC), and other adjustment variables. OLC determines the initial power setting, which is used to set the basic operating point of the network. The purpose of CLC is to correct errors in the OLC configuration and thus adjust the transmit power near the basic operating point [1]. In other words, OLC can compensate for path loss and shadowing, while CLC can cope with fast fading. On a certain uplink carrier of a certain cell, the actual transmit power of the UE is calculated as follows (if the UE is configured with multiple uplink carriers, each carrier is power controlled according to the following formula): P = min{maximum transmit power of the UE on the uplink carrier, uplink expected transmit power} = min{P CMAX ,{open-loop power control}+{closed-loop power control}+{other adjustment variables}}=min{P CMAX ,{P0(j)+α(j)·P L (q)}+{f(l)}+{10lg(2 μ M)+Δ TF}}

[0078] Among them, P CMAX Refers to the maximum uplink transmit power that matches the UE's power level, configured at the carrier level. Open-loop power control is a power control related to the radio resource control (RRC) high-level parameter configuration and partial path loss compensation, including the base station's expected receive power P0(j), partial path loss compensation factor α(j), and path loss estimation P L(q), where j is the index of the parameter set and α ranges from {0, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1}. This allows the terminal to partially compensate for path loss, reducing interference to neighboring cells and improving the transmission rate at the cell edge. However, the reduced transmission power of nearby users in the cell may result in a decrease in the overall cell capacity.

[0079] Therefore, in order to balance the overall capacity of the cell and the transmission performance at the cell edge, a suitable path loss compensation factor can be selected between 0 and 1. In actual systems, α is 0.7 or 0.8, which can achieve a better balance between the overall capacity of the cell and the transmission performance at the cell edge. Therefore, it is adopted for the power control of the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and the sounding reference signal (SRS). The physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and the physical random access channel (PRACH) have low requirements for throughput and high requirements for the transmission performance of all UEs in the cell. Therefore, the protocol stipulates full path loss compensation, that is, only supports α value of 1. L (q) can be estimated using the downlink reference signal synchronization signal and PBCH block (SSB) or CSI reference signal (CSI-RS). q is the index of the reference signal used to measure path loss (each reference signal is associated with a specific q value), and one is selected from a set of path loss estimates maintained by the UE.

[0080] Closed-loop power control f(l) is a power control related to historical transmission power. l is the index of the closed-loop power control adjustment amount. The base station can quickly adjust the transmission power of the UE through f(l). The adjustment is based on the UE's last transmission effect, and the adjustment information is indicated by DCI (Downlink control information). Among them, the UE's last transmission effect is reported to the base station through the power headroom report (Power Headroom Report, PHR). When the base station finds that the expected transmission power for the UE is too high at a certain time based on the power headroom reported by the UE, it can instruct the UE to reduce the transmission power in the next transmission through closed-loop adjustment information. The closed-loop adjustment information in the DCI is called the Transmit Power Control Command (TPC command), expressed as δ(l), and is determined according to the TPC Command mapping table defined in the protocol 3GPP 38.213.

[0081] Other adjustments are power adjustments related to frequency domain resource allocation and link adaptation. M is the number of resource blocks (RBs) allocated for this uplink transmission. When the subcarrier spacing (SCS) is 15kHz, μ = 0. If the SCS is doubled, the value of μ is also increased by 1, which means that the transmission power is also doubled accordingly, and so on. TF It is the adjustment value related to the uplink transmission format (Transport Format, TF). For example, in PUSCH power control, it indicates the power offset determined by the transmission modulation and coding scheme (MCS) level. In PUCCH power control, it indicates the power offset determined by the PUCCH format. Generally, Δ TF =0.

[0082] In uplink power control, the base station calculates the UE's TPC based on parameters such as power control configuration parameters, UE feedback information, and base station measurement information, and sends it to the UE via the DCI in the PDCCH. The UE maps the TPC to a power adjustment value and determines the final uplink transmit power based on its maximum transmit power, path loss, number of RBs, and transport format.

[0083] In summary, uplink power control is based on the fading characteristics of the wireless channel and the energy-saving requirements of the terminal. It controls the transmit power of the wireless terminal to ensure uplink transmission performance. It is expected to stabilize the base station's received signal and demodulation performance; reduce UE power consumption and reduce interference between neighboring cells within the system; and at the same time meet the cell throughput and edge user throughput requirements.

[0084] An embodiment of the present application provides a power control method, which can adjust the transmission power of a terminal device based on the actual service situation of the terminal user, thereby reducing resource waste and improving resource utilization, while achieving the effect of reducing multi-cell uplink channel interference problems, thereby improving user experience and network performance.

[0085] FIG3 is a flow chart of a power control method in an embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIG3 , the method specifically includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0086] S301, receiving N uplink signals sent by a terminal device, where the N uplink signals are sent by the terminal device based on a first transmission power, and N is an integer greater than 1.

[0087] Exemplarily, when a terminal device needs to send service data, it sends an uplink signal to the base station it is connected to according to the transmission power (e.g., the first transmission power) and other uplink scheduling information indicated by the base station. The uplink signal (e.g., PUSCH) includes but is not limited to: control information and data information.

[0088] FIG4 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary uplink signal. Referring to FIG4 , the uplink signal includes a control field and a data field (which may also include other fields, such as CRC, etc., which are not limited in this application). The control field is used to carry control information, and the data field is used to carry data information.

[0089] In an embodiment of the present application, data information includes but is not limited to valid data and / or padding data. Based on the indication of the base station, the terminal device can determine the number of symbols occupied by the data information. If the number of valid data to be sent by the terminal device is less than the number of symbols indicated by the base station, the terminal device fills the data field with invalid data (i.e., padding data). It should be noted that the valid data length and padding data length shown in Figure 4 are only illustrative examples and are not limited in this application.

[0090] Exemplarily, the control field includes, but is not limited to, a Padding field, which is used to indicate whether the Data field includes padding data. In one example, if the character in the Padding field is "0," it indicates that the Data field does not include padding data. In another example, if the character in the Padding field is "1," it indicates that the Data field includes padding data.

[0091] The base station receives the uplink signal sent by each terminal device. After the base station correctly receives the uplink signal (i.e., it can correctly parse the information carried by the control field and data field), the base station reads the Padding field in the control field to determine whether the data field contains padding data.

[0092] Exemplarily, if the data field includes padding data, the base station may further determine whether the uplink signal meets a preset condition based on the padding data.

[0093] S302: Determine a second transmission power of the uplink signal of the terminal device based on the proportion of padding data in the N uplink signals.

[0094] In an embodiment of the present application, a base station pre-sets a preset condition. The preset condition includes, but is not limited to, the following: among N consecutive uplink signals received, the proportion of padding data in M ​​uplink signals exceeds a threshold. The threshold, N value, and M value can be set based on actual needs and are not limited in this application. M is less than or equal to N.

[0095] Exemplarily, the proportion of padding data may optionally be the ratio of the amount of padding data to the amount of total data, wherein the total data is the data information, and the total data is the sum of the valid data and the padding data.

[0096] For example, each time the base station receives an uplink signal from the terminal device, it detects whether it includes padding data. And when it is determined that padding data is included, the proportion of padding data is obtained. The base station starts recording from the first time it receives the uplink signal from the terminal device. The base station sets a detection window, and the length of the window is N (which can be set according to actual needs and is not limited in this application). The base station continues to receive uplink signals sent by the terminal device, and when the Nth uplink signal is received, it detects that the number of received uplink signals meets the detection window. The base station then counts whether the N uplink signals in the detection window include M (i.e., greater than or equal to) uplink signals whose proportion of padding data is greater than or equal to the threshold. If so, it is determined that the preset condition is met. If not, when the base station receives the next uplink signal from the terminal device, it slides the detection window (the number of sliding steps is 1) and repeats the above judgment on whether the preset condition is met, that is, the base station can perform the judgment of the preset condition based on the second uplink signal to the N+1th uplink signal from the terminal device.

[0097] In the embodiments of the present application, only sliding window detection is used as an example. In other embodiments, the base station may further set a detection period. For example, after receiving N uplink signals from the same terminal device, the base station performs a preset condition determination on the N uplink signals. In the next period, the preset condition determination is performed again based on the next N uplink signals received.

[0098] Optionally, the preset condition may further set the M value to M consecutive uplink signals. That is, the determination that there are M consecutive uplink signals whose proportion of padding data exceeds a threshold satisfies the preset condition.

[0099] In an embodiment of the present application, if N uplink signals received by a base station from the same terminal device meet a preset condition, the base station sends first power indication information to the terminal device, indicating a second transmit power (also referred to as a second transmission power). The second transmit power is less than the first transmit power. That is, in an embodiment of the present application, if N uplink signals meet the preset condition, the base station reduces the transmit power of the uplink signal of the terminal device. Accordingly, the terminal device transmits the uplink signal at the second transmit power in response to the base station's indication. In this way, the base station can determine the service status of the terminal based on the proportion of padding data in the uplink signal. If the proportion of service data in the terminal is small, i.e., the proportion of padding data is large, the base station can reduce the transmit power of the uplink signal of the terminal device, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the terminal device, further reducing the battery consumption of the terminal device, and extending the device's battery life. Furthermore, the system can improve the rationality of power allocation, avoid resource waste, and improve the overall efficiency and throughput of the network. Furthermore, the present application sets corresponding power adjustment strategies for different terminal device service conditions, which can avoid network congestion, improve communication efficiency, and enhance the user experience of users on the network. In addition, by reducing the transmission power, the interference between cells can also be reduced, especially when the number of terminals is small and / or the terminal traffic volume is small, which can improve the system's anti-interference capability and enhance the system's overall network performance, stability and energy efficiency.

[0100] In this embodiment of the present application, if the N uplink signals received by the base station from the same terminal device do not meet the preset conditions, the base station sends second power indication information to the terminal device, indicating a third transmit power. The third transmit power is greater than or equal to the first transmit power. That is, in this embodiment of the present application, if the N uplink signals meet the preset conditions, the base station increases the transmit power of the uplink signal of the terminal device, or instructs the terminal device to maintain the transmit power of the uplink signal. Accordingly, the terminal device transmits the uplink signal at the third transmit power in response to the base station's indication.

[0101] S303: Send power indication information to the terminal device, where the power indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to send an uplink signal at a second transmission power.

[0102] Specifically, after the base station determines the transmission power of the uplink signal of the terminal device (including the first transmission power or the second transmission power), it sends a PDCCH to the terminal device, and the DCI in the PDCCH includes the transmission power information. The DCI information can optionally be the transmission power adjustment amplitude. For example, if the DCI indication is "0", that is, it is used to indicate that the adjustment amplitude of the transmission power is 0, it can also be understood as indicating that the transmission power remains unchanged. If the DCI indication is "-1", that is, it is used to indicate that the adjustment amplitude of the transmission power is -1, it can also be understood as indicating to reduce the transmission power. If the DCI indication is "1", that is, it is used to indicate that the adjustment amplitude of the transmission power is 1, it can also be understood as indicating to increase the transmission power.

[0103] In one possible implementation, the adjustment range indicated by the DCI may include multiple levels. The base station may pre-set a correspondence between the adjustment conditions and the adjustment range. The adjustment conditions may include, but are not limited to, the distance between the terminal device and the base station, etc., and may be set according to actual needs and are not limited in this application.

[0104] For example, the base station can obtain the transmission distance between the base station and the terminal device based on the uplink signal received from the terminal device (the acquisition method can refer to the existing technology and is not limited in this application). The adjustment condition can set the correspondence between different distances and adjustment amplitudes. For example, the greater the distance, the greater the adjustment amplitude can be, and the smaller the distance, the smaller the adjustment amplitude. It can be set according to actual needs and is not limited in this application.

[0105] For example, the base station determines that the uplink signals of terminal device A and terminal device B meet the preset conditions, and the transmission power of terminal device A and terminal device B needs to be reduced. The base station obtains that the distance between terminal device A and the base station is distance A, and the distance between terminal device B and the base station is distance B, where distance A is smaller than distance B. Based on the adjustment conditions and the adjustment amplitude, the base station can determine that the adjustment amplitude corresponding to distance A is X, and the adjustment amplitude corresponding to distance B is Y, where X is smaller than Y. In other words, the decrease in the transmission power of the uplink signal of terminal device B is greater than the decrease in the transmission power of the uplink signal of terminal device A. That is, when it is determined that the transmission power of the terminal device needs to be adjusted based on the service situation (i.e., the proportion of filler data), the adjustment amplitude can be further determined based on other conditions, thereby providing a more accurate power adjustment method.

[0106] In the embodiment of the present application, each step performed by the base station on the terminal device refers to the steps performed on the terminal device accessing the base station. For example, taking Figure 1 as an example, base station 1 receives the uplink interference signal of UE23. Base station 1 can determine that the uplink signal is an interference signal based on the uplink interference signal of UE23, that is, UE23 is not a terminal device in this cell, and base station 1 will not perform preset condition judgment and other operations on UE23. That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, the base station determines the transmission power adjustment strategy of each terminal device based on the service situation of the cell (that is, at least one cell of the base station), which can also be understood as the terminal device accessing the base station. The adjustment strategy includes but is not limited to: increase, decrease and remain unchanged. Furthermore, when the base station detects that the uplink signal of the terminal device meets the preset conditions, that is, the proportion of filler data in the service data transmitted by the terminal device is relatively large, the base station can reduce the transmission power of this type of terminal device to reduce the transmission power of the terminal device with large resource waste (that is, the proportion of filler data is relatively large), which can effectively reduce the interference of this type of terminal device to the terminal devices in other cells (that is, inter-cell interference). For example, still referring to Figure 1, assume that base station 2 detects that the uplink signal of UE 23 meets the preset conditions, and base station 2 reduces the transmit power of UE 23. Accordingly, after the transmit power of UE 23 is reduced, base station 1 may no longer receive the uplink interference signal of UE 23, thereby eliminating the inter-cell interference of UE 23 to the terminal devices in base station 1.

[0107] The technical solution of the above method embodiment is described in detail using several specific embodiments below.

[0108] Scene 1

[0109] In conjunction with FIG3 , FIG5 is a flow chart of a power control method in an embodiment of the present application. In FIG5 :

[0110] S501: A base station receives an uplink signal sent by a UE.

[0111] Exemplarily, any UE in a system (e.g., the system shown in FIG1 ) transmits an uplink signal to the connected base station. The transmit power of the uplink signal is a first transmit power. The uplink signal includes control information and data information. The data information may include padding data (the concept of which can be referred to above) or may not include padding data. The terminal device may determine whether the data information includes padding data based on the service situation and the uplink scheduling configuration information sent by the base station.

[0112] Exemplarily, the base station receives an uplink signal sent by the UE. Optionally, the base station can be a base station accessed by the UE, or it can be another base station. For example, as shown in Figure 1, the UE can be UE23, and the base station can be base station 1. That is, base station 1 receives the uplink signal of UE23, and the uplink signal can also be understood as an interference signal. Of course, the UE can also be UE13, and the base station can be base station 1, that is, base station 1 receives the uplink signal of UE13. In other words, the base station can be any base station in the system, and the UE can be a UE in the cell of this base station or the cell of another base station, and this application does not limit it.

[0113] S502: The base station performs a sliding window detection to determine whether a preset condition is met.

[0114] Exemplarily, after the base station correctly receives the uplink signal, the base station slides the detection window (the concept can be referred to above and will not be repeated here), and the length of the detection window is N. Assume that the detection window already includes N uplink signals from the UE. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the UE described in this embodiment refers to the same UE.

[0115] In the embodiment of the present application, as described above, the base station may receive uplink signals from terminal devices in both the local cell and non-local cell. However, the base station will only correctly receive and parse uplink signals from terminal devices in the local cell. That is, the base station will not perform S502 to S505 on uplink signals from terminal devices in non-local cell.

[0116] Exemplarily, the base station may store an uplink signal reception list to record the uplink signal reception status of each UE. For example, the base station receives an uplink signal, parses the uplink signal, and obtains that the transmitter of the uplink signal is the first UE. The base station may query the identification information corresponding to the UE from the uplink signal reception list and obtain the corresponding uplink signal reception status. The uplink signal reception status may record the number of uplink signals received by the UE, as well as information such as the proportion of padding data corresponding to each received uplink signal.

[0117] Exemplarily, the base station determines whether the N uplink signals from the UE within the detection window meet the preset conditions. Specifically, the identification of a single uplink signal is taken as an example for explanation. After receiving the uplink signal, the base station identifies the padding field. Based on the padding field, it is determined whether the data field of the uplink field includes padding data. If padding data is not included, the padding data ratio is 0. The base station records the padding data ratio result in the uplink signal reception list. If padding data is included, the base station obtains the padding data ratio (the acquisition method can be referred to above) and records it in the uplink signal reception list. Every time the base station receives an uplink signal from the UE, it obtains the padding data ratio and records it in the uplink signal reception list. And a sliding window is performed in the recorded uplink signal of the UE to detect whether the uplink signal of the UE meets the preset conditions.

[0118] In one example, if the preset condition is met, S503 is executed.

[0119] In another example, if the condition is not met, S504 is executed.

[0120] S503: The base station determines to reduce the transmit power of the UE.

[0121] For example, if the base station determines that the UE's uplink signal meets a preset condition, it can determine that the UE's transmit power needs to be reduced. The extent of the reduction can be based on the distance between the base station and the UE, or based on other conditions, which are not limited in this application.

[0122] S504: The base station determines whether to increase the transmit power of the UE or keep it unchanged.

[0123] For example, if the base station determines that the UE's uplink signal does not meet the preset conditions, it may determine that the UE's transmit power needs to be increased or maintained. The base station's choice of whether to increase the transmit power (and the magnitude of the increase) or to maintain it unchanged may also be based on the distance between the UE and the base station or other conditions, which are not limited in this application.

[0124] S505: The base station sends a downlink signal to the UE.

[0125] Exemplarily, the base station determines the transmit power of the UE's uplink signal and other information (such as other uplink scheduling information, etc.), and the base station sends a PDCCH to the UE. The DCI in the PDCCH includes TPC, which is used to indicate the transmit power of the uplink signal sent by the terminal next time. Among them, if the base station determines to increase the transmit power of the UE, the adjustment amplitude value of the transmit power indicated by the DCI is greater than 0. If the base station determines to reduce the transmit power of the UE, the adjustment amplitude value of the transmit power indicated by the DCI is less than 0. If the base station determines that the transmit power of the UE remains unchanged, the adjustment amplitude value of the transmit power indicated by the DCI is 0. Of course, the above-mentioned DCI indication method is only an illustrative example. In other embodiments, it can also be set according to actual needs, and this application does not limit it.

[0126] Exemplarily, the UE will transmit an uplink signal based on the transmit power indicated by the base station. For example, the power corresponding to the next uplink signal transmitted by the UE is the second transmit power. The second transmit power is optionally lower than the first transmit power.

[0127] This example uses a single UE as an example. In actual applications, each base station performs the above steps for all UEs corresponding to received uplink signals, generating a corresponding transmit power adjustment strategy for each UE receiving uplink signals. The adjustment strategy includes but is not limited to: increasing transmit power, decreasing transmit power, or keeping it unchanged. This enables differentiated power control for different types of services, further improving network performance and user experience.

[0128] The above mainly introduces the solution provided by the embodiment of the present application from the perspective of the interaction between various network elements. It can be understood that in order to realize the above functions, the power control device includes hardware structures and / or software modules corresponding to the execution of each function. Those skilled in the art should easily realize that, in combination with the units and algorithm steps of each example described in the embodiments disclosed herein, the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in the form of hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a function is executed in hardware or in a computer software-driven hardware manner depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Professional and technical personnel can use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered to be beyond the scope of this application.

[0129] In the embodiments of the present application, the power control device can be divided into functional modules according to the above method examples. For example, each functional module can be divided according to each function, or two or more functions can be integrated into one processing module. The above integrated modules can be implemented in the form of hardware or software functional modules. It should be noted that the division of modules in the embodiments of the present application is schematic and is only a logical functional division. In actual implementation, other division methods may be used.

[0130] In the case of dividing each functional module according to each function, in the case of dividing each functional module according to each function, FIG6 shows a possible structural diagram of the power control device 600 involved in the above embodiment. As shown in FIG6 , the power control device may include: a receiving module 601 and a configuration module 602. The receiving module 601 is used to receive N uplink signals sent by the terminal device, where the N uplink signals are sent by the terminal device based on the first transmission power, and N is an integer greater than 1. The configuration module 602 is used to determine the second transmission power of the uplink signal of the terminal device based on the proportion of padding data in the N uplink signals. The sending module 603 is used to send power indication information to the terminal device, where the power indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to send the uplink signal at the second transmission power.

[0131] In one possible implementation, if the proportion of filler data in the N uplink signals meets a preset condition, the second transmission power is less than the first transmission power; the preset condition is used to indicate that the proportion of filler data in the N uplink signals exceeds a threshold.

[0132] In a possible implementation, if the proportion of padding data in the N uplink signals does not meet a preset condition, the second transmission power is greater than or equal to the first transmission power.

[0133] In one possible implementation, a single uplink signal includes a padding data field, the padding data field includes padding data indication information, and the padding data indication information is used to indicate whether the single uplink signal includes padding data. The configuration module 602 is specifically used to: determine whether the single uplink signal includes padding data based on the padding data indication information in the padding data field of the single uplink signal; if the padding data indication information indicates that the single uplink signal does not include padding data, determine that the padding data ratio of the single uplink signal is 0; if the padding data indication information indicates that the single uplink signal includes padding data, obtain the padding data ratio of the single uplink signal.

[0134] In a possible implementation, the preset condition includes: the number of uplink signals in which the proportion of padding data exceeds a threshold among the N uplink signals is greater than a preset number.

[0135] In a possible implementation, the padding data ratio is a ratio of the padding data to the total data in the uplink signal, where the total data includes the padding data and valid data.

[0136] In a possible implementation manner, the second power indication information is carried in a downlink control information DCI field of a physical downlink control channel PDCCH.
