Abstract
Description
Self-interference measurement method, device, terminal and network-side equipment
[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202311263849.3 filed in China on September 27, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] The present application belongs to the field of communication technology, and specifically relates to a self-interference measurement method, device, terminal and network-side equipment. Background Art
[0004] Among the relevant technologies, full-duplex mode can more flexibly utilize limited spectrum resources to dynamically match business needs, improve resource utilization, and improve uplink coverage, latency and other performance of data transmission.
[0005] However, when the terminal operates in full-duplex mode, when receiving downlink transmissions sent by network-side equipment, it will receive interference from the terminal's own uplink transmission signals, which is also called terminal self-interference. Therefore, a certain degree of interference suppression or interference isolation is required at both the transmitting and receiving ends of the terminal, such as adjusting the terminal's transmit power. The specific interference suppression level depends on the terminal's devices and implementation.
[0006] Currently, network-side devices are unable to obtain information related to terminal self-interference. For example, if a terminal adjusts its transmit power to suppress self-interference, and transmits based on the adjusted transmit power, the network-side device is unaware of this terminal behavior. As a result, the network-side device is unaware of the terminal's actual transmission parameters and is unable to adjust relevant parameters based on the terminal's actual transmission parameters, thereby affecting the transmission performance of the network-side device.

[0046] For better understanding, the relevant concepts and principles involved in the embodiments of this application are explained below.
[0047] When deploying traditional cellular networks, frequency division duplex (FDD) or time division duplex (TDD) can be used, depending on the available spectrum and service characteristics. In FDD, uplink and downlink transmissions occur on different frequencies, preventing interference and allowing simultaneous transmission. In TDD, uplink and downlink transmissions occur on the same frequency, interleaved using time division. Each duplex method has its own advantages and disadvantages.
[0048] In order to more flexibly utilize limited spectrum resources, dynamically match business needs, improve resource utilization efficiency, and improve uplink coverage, latency and other performance of data transmission, a flexible duplex mode is proposed. One flexible duplex mode is: full duplex on the network side (also known as non-overlapping sub-band full duplex, SBFD), that is, at the same time, uplink transmission and downlink transmission can be carried out simultaneously at different frequency domain locations. To avoid interference between uplink and downlink, a certain guard band (Guard Band, GB) can be reserved between the frequency domain locations corresponding to different transmission directions (corresponding to duplex sub-bands); half duplex on the terminal side, that is, consistent with TDD, at the same time, only uplink transmission or downlink transmission can be carried out, and the two cannot be carried out at the same time. It can be understood that in this duplex mode, the uplink transmission and downlink transmission on the network side at the same time can only be targeted at different terminals.
[0049] Figure 1b illustrates the flexible duplexing scheme described above. Within a portion of downlink symbols, the network semi-statically divides the frequency domain of a single carrier into three duplex subbands. Downlink duplex subbands are located on either side of the carrier, while the center is an uplink duplex subband. This reduces interference with adjacent carriers. In the third time slot, User Equipment (UE) 1 and UE2 perform uplink transmission and downlink reception, respectively. At this point, the terminals operate in half-duplex mode.
[0050] When the terminal operates in full-duplex mode, when receiving the downlink transmission sent by the base station, it will be interfered with by the signal from the terminal's own uplink transmission. Therefore, it is necessary to perform certain interference suppression or interference isolation at both the transmitting and receiving ends of the UE. The specific interference suppression level depends on the device and implementation of the UE. At the same time, the impact of self-interference is also related to the downlink (DL) or uplink (UL) transmission being carried out by the UE. Since the uplink transmission sent by the terminal when the terminal operates in full-duplex mode generates self-interference, the network side cannot obtain relevant information about the terminal's self-interference, which affects the transmission performance of the network side. To address this problem, the embodiment of the present application proposes a self-interference measurement method and related equipment.
[0051] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes in detail some embodiments and their application scenarios the self-interference measurement method, apparatus, terminal, network-side equipment and other related devices provided in the embodiments of the present application.
[0052] Please refer to Figure 2, which is a flow chart of a self-interference measurement method provided by an embodiment of the present application, the method being executed by a terminal. As shown in Figure 2, the method includes the following steps:
[0053] Step 201: A terminal receives configuration information sent by a network-side device, where the configuration information is information related to self-interference (SI) measurement of the terminal.
[0054] In an embodiment of the present application, the network side device sends configuration information to the terminal, and the configuration information is information related to the SI measurement of the terminal. For example, the configuration information may include a reporting configuration for instructing the terminal to report the SI measurement result, or may also include relevant information of SI measurement resources used for SI measurement, such as relevant information of frequency domain resources used for SI measurement, relevant information of time domain resources, etc., which will be specifically explained in subsequent embodiments and will not be listed in detail here.
[0055] It should be noted that in some embodiments, self-interference measurement may also be referred to as interference measurement, or interference channel quality measurement, interference signal strength measurement, full-duplex channel measurement, etc., which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application. In addition, in some embodiments, SI measurement resources may also be referred to as interference measurement resources, or interference channel quality measurement resources, interference signal strength measurement resources, full-duplex interference measurement resources, etc., which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application.
[0056] Step 202: The terminal performs SI measurement according to the configuration information to obtain an SI measurement result.
[0057] It can be understood that after receiving the configuration information related to the SI measurement of the terminal configured by the network side device, the terminal performs SI measurement according to the configuration information to obtain the SI measurement result.
[0058] For example, the configuration information includes a reporting configuration, and the reporting configuration is used to instruct the terminal to report a received signal strength indication (RSSI), and the SI measurement of the terminal includes RSSI measurement. Wherein, the reporting configuration includes an SI measurement resource, for example, a frequency domain position and a time domain position of the SI measurement resource, and the terminal performs SI measurement at the frequency domain position and the time domain position corresponding to the SI measurement resource, and measures the RSSI of the frequency domain bandwidth corresponding to the downlink SI measurement resource to obtain an RSSI result, that is, an SI measurement result.
[0059] It should be noted that the specific content of the configuration information may also be other possible situations, and the terminal may also perform SI measurement according to the configuration information in other possible situations, which are not specifically listed here.
[0060] Step 203: The terminal reports the SI measurement result to the network-side device.
[0061] It is understandable that after the terminal performs SI measurement according to the configuration information and obtains the SI measurement result, the terminal reports the SI measurement result to the network-side device. In this way, the network-side device can obtain relevant information about the terminal-side self-interference, thereby helping the network-side device to adjust the transmission between the terminal and the terminal based on the relevant information about the terminal-side self-interference, thereby improving the transmission performance between the network-side device and the terminal.
[0062] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the terminal may perform SI measurement according to the configuration information configured by the network-side device when operating in full-duplex mode, obtain an SI measurement result, and report the SI measurement result. It can be understood that when the terminal operates in full-duplex mode, when receiving the downlink transmission sent by the network-side device, the terminal will be interfered with by the signal from the terminal's own uplink transmission. The terminal performs SI measurement according to the configuration information to obtain an SI measurement result. The SI measurement result can represent relevant information about the interference of the terminal by its own uplink transmission signal, such as the interference intensity. The terminal reports the SI measurement result, thereby enabling the network-side device to obtain relevant information about the terminal-side self-interference. The network-side device can also adjust the transmission between the terminal and the terminal based on the relevant information about the terminal-side self-interference, and schedule and allocate appropriate resources for the terminal. For example, if the network-side device feels that the downlink transmission is more important, the network-side device may instruct the terminal to reduce the transmit power; or the network-side device may also ensure the frequency domain spacing between the uplink and downlink transmissions through scheduling to avoid conflicts between the uplink and downlink transmissions, etc., thereby improving the transmission performance between the network-side device and the terminal.
[0063] Optionally, the configuration information includes at least one of the following:
[0064] Reporting configuration, the reporting configuration is used to instruct the terminal to report the SI measurement result, such as the reporting type of the SI measurement result, the type and identifier of the SI measurement resource, etc.;
[0065] Related information of SI measurement resources, where the SI measurement resources are used for SI measurement, such as frequency domain resources and time domain resources used for SI measurement.
[0066] Optionally, the configuration information sent by the network side device may include multiple reporting configurations. In this case, the terminal performs SI measurement resources on the SI measurement resources associated with each reporting configuration according to the configuration information, and obtains the SI measurement results corresponding to each reporting configuration, that is, multiple SI measurement results, and the terminal reports the multiple SI measurement results.
[0067] For example, reporting configuration 1 is associated with SI measurement resource 1, the transmission power of SI measurement resource 1 is P1, and the SI measurement result corresponding to reporting configuration 1 is Result 1; reporting configuration 2 is associated with SI measurement resource 2, the transmission power of SI measurement resource 2 is P2, and the SI measurement result corresponding to reporting configuration 2 is Result 2. The terminal can report Result 1 and Result 2 separately, or it can report them together.
[0068] Alternatively, the configuration information sent by the network side device includes only one reporting configuration, which contains multiple sub-reporting configurations. These sub-reporting configurations share the same reporting parameters and reporting behaviors. The content included in each sub-reporting configuration can be configured independently, that is, each sub-reporting configuration can be an independent configuration of the type of SI measurement resource, the identifier of the SI measurement resource, and other contents.
[0069] Optionally, the configuration information sent by the network side device may include multiple SI measurement resources. In this case, the terminal performs SI measurement on each SI measurement resource and the configuration parameters corresponding to each SI measurement resource according to the configuration information, and obtains the SI measurement results corresponding to each of the SI measurement resources, that is, multiple SI measurement results, and the terminal reports the multiple SI measurement results.
[0070] For example, the transmit power of SI measurement resource 1 is P1, and the corresponding SI measurement result is Result 1; the transmit power of SI measurement resource 2 is P2, and the corresponding SI measurement result is Result 2. The terminal can report Result 1 and Result 2 separately, or can report them together.
[0071] Optionally, the reporting configuration includes at least one of the following:
[0072] Reporting type of SI measurement results, such as RSSI, layer 1 signal-to-noise and interference ratio (L1-SINR), etc.
[0073] The type of SI measurement resources, such as the type of uplink signal or channel, for example, the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), the Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), the Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS), etc.
[0074] Identifier (ID) of SI measurement resource;
[0075] The sending resource location of SI measurement;
[0076] The receiving resource location of the SI measurement;
[0077] The transmit power of the SI measurement resource;
[0078] Frequency location of SI measurement resources;
[0079] Frequency domain bandwidth of SI measurement resources;
[0080] SI measures the spatial characteristics of resources, including Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI), Quasi Co-location (QCL), and spatial relation information.
[0081] Modulation order (MOD) of SI measurement resources;
[0082] Frequency domain spacing between downlink SI measurement resources and uplink subband (UL subband);
[0083] The frequency domain interval between the uplink SI measurement resource and the downlink subband (DL subband).
[0084] Optionally, the relevant information of the SI measurement resource includes at least one of the following:
[0085] The type of uplink transmission, including the type of uplink signal or channel, such as the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS), etc.
[0086] Frequency domain resource information, including starting frequency domain position, ending frequency domain position, frequency domain offset value, number or range of frequency domain resources, bandwidth part (Bandwidth Part, BWP), etc. The frequency domain resources may include uplink frequency domain resources and downlink frequency domain resources;
[0087] Uplink transmit power parameters, including target receive power, power offset value, preset transmit power, etc.
[0088] Spatial characteristics, including TCI, QCL, spatial relation information, etc.
[0089] Time domain resource information, including the starting time domain position, ending time domain position, time domain offset value, time domain resource quantity or range, symbol number, time slot number, etc.
[0090] Uplink modulation and coding scheme (MCS) may be configured with one or more MCSs.
[0091] Among them, the SI measurement resources can be divided into downlink SI measurement resources (also referred to as first resources, first SI measurement resources, etc.) and uplink SI measurement resources (also referred to as second resources, second SI measurement resources, etc.); or, downlink and uplink can be distinguished and they are all referred to as SI measurement resources.
[0092] It should be noted that when the relevant information of the SI measurement resource includes the type of uplink transmission, it means that the resource measured by the terminal SI is a certain type of uplink signal or uplink channel, for example, the resource measured by the SI is PUSCH or SRS. If the network side device is not configured with the type of uplink transmission, for example, the relevant information of the SI measurement resource does not include the type of uplink transmission, the type of measurement signal or channel is not limited.
[0093] For example, the network side device schedules or triggers a certain uplink channel or signal when the terminal performs SI measurement. When performing SI measurement, the terminal can perform SI measurement according to the uplink channel or signal scheduled or triggered by the network side device.
[0094] Optionally, when the relevant information of the SI measurement resource includes the type of the uplink transmission, and the type of the uplink transmission includes an uplink signal or channel type, the terminal performs SI measurement according to the configuration information, including:
[0095] The terminal performs SI measurement according to the uplink signal or channel type.
[0096] For example, the type of the uplink transmission is PUSCH or PUCCH, and the terminal performs SI measurement according to the uplink signal or channel type, including at least one of the following:
[0097] The terminal performs SI measurement according to the dynamically scheduled PUSCH or PUCCH;
[0098] The terminal performs SI measurement according to the semi-statically configured PUSCH or PUCCH.
[0099] Alternatively, the uplink transmission type is SRS or DMRS, and the terminal performs SI measurement according to the uplink signal or channel type, including:
[0100] The terminal performs SI measurement according to the SRS or DMRS.
[0101] Alternatively, when the configuration information configured by the network side device does not include the uplink transmission type of the SI measurement resource, the terminal performs SI measurement according to the uplink channel or uplink signal scheduled by the network side device. For example, the network side device only configures the locations at which the terminal performs measurement, and the terminal performs SI measurement according to the configuration information, including at least one of the following:
[0102] The terminal performs SI measurement according to the dynamically scheduled PUSCH or PUCCH;
[0103] The terminal performs SI measurement according to the semi-statically configured PUSCH or PUCCH.
[0104] Exemplarily, the terminal sends PUSCH or PUCCH according to the scheduling of the network side device and performs SI measurement at the same time.
[0105] Optionally, if there is no dynamically scheduled PUSCH or PUCCH at the current moment, or no semi-statically configured PUSCH or PUCCH, the terminal does not perform SI measurement at the current moment, that is, the terminal skips SI measurement at the current moment.
[0106] In an embodiment of the present application, when the relevant information of the SI measurement resource includes the frequency domain resource information, the frequency domain resource information includes at least one of the frequency domain position of the downlink SI measurement resource and the frequency domain position of the uplink SI measurement resource.
[0107] For example, the network-side device may separately configure the frequency domain location of the downlink SI measurement resource and the frequency domain location of the uplink SI measurement resource. The downlink SI measurement resource may include a frequency domain resource within a downlink subband or a frequency domain resource within a guard band; the uplink SI measurement resource may include a frequency domain resource within an uplink subband or a frequency domain resource within a guard band.
[0108] Alternatively, the network-side device may configure the frequency domain location of the downlink SI measurement resource and the frequency domain interval between the downlink SI measurement resource and the uplink SI measurement resource. At the SI measurement moment, the uplink channel or signal sent by the terminal must satisfy: greater than or equal to the frequency domain interval with the downlink SI measurement resource, or the uplink channel or signal sent by the terminal must satisfy: less than or equal to the frequency domain interval with the downlink SI measurement resource.
[0109] Alternatively, the network-side device may configure the frequency domain position of the uplink SI measurement resource and the frequency domain interval between the uplink SI measurement resource and the downlink SI measurement resource. At the SI measurement moment, when the terminal measures SI in the downlink, the corresponding frequency domain resource must satisfy: greater than or equal to the frequency domain interval with the uplink SI measurement resource, or, the corresponding frequency domain resource must satisfy: less than or equal to the frequency domain interval with the uplink SI measurement resource.
[0110] Optionally, the network side device may also only configure the frequency domain position of the downlink SI measurement resource. In this case, when the terminal performs SI measurement, the terminal performs SI measurement based on the actual uplink transmission in the uplink subband, that is, the frequency domain position of the uplink transmission can occupy any or all frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.
[0111] Optionally, the network side device may also only configure the frequency domain position of the uplink SI measurement resource. In this case, when the terminal performs SI measurement, the terminal performs measurement on the entire downlink sub-band or guard band.
[0112] In this embodiment of the present application, when the relevant information of the SI measurement resource includes the uplink transmit power parameter, the uplink transmit power parameter includes at least one of the following:
[0113] Current transmit power, i.e., the actual transmit power of the uplink signal or signal corresponding to the SI measurement resource, where the actual transmit power is the transmit power after uplink power control adjustment (open-loop or closed-loop power control);
[0114] Target receive power (DRP) refers to the target receive power at which uplink transmission reaches the network-side device after the terminal performs uplink power control adjustment. For users in the cell center, the target receive power is lower, while for users at the cell edge, the target receive power is higher. Different target receive powers affect the terminal's self-interference level.

[0118] For example, the network-side device configures the spatial characteristics of the downlink SI measurement resources and the spatial characteristics of the uplink SI measurement resources respectively.
[0119] Alternatively, the network-side device only configures the spatial characteristics of the downlink SI measurement resource. In this case, the spatial characteristics of the uplink SI measurement resource are determined according to the spatial characteristics of the downlink SI measurement resource.
[0120] Alternatively, the network-side device only configures the spatial characteristics of the uplink SI measurement resource.

[0122] For example, the network-side device configures the time domain position of the downlink SI measurement resource and the time domain position of the uplink SI measurement resource respectively.
[0123] Alternatively, the network side device only configures the time domain position of the downlink SI measurement resource. In this case, it can be assumed that the time domain position of the uplink SI measurement resource is aligned with the time domain position of the downlink SI measurement resource.
[0124] Alternatively, the network side device only configures the time domain position of the uplink SI measurement resource. In this case, it can be assumed that the time domain position of the downlink SI measurement resource is aligned with the time domain position of the uplink SI measurement resource.

[0126] The terminal measures all frequency domain resources of the downlink subband, or measures the RSSI on the frequency domain bandwidth or guard band corresponding to the downlink SI measurement resource;
[0127] The terminal measures the received power on the resource elements (RE) corresponding to the downlink SI measurement resources and the uplink SI measurement resources.
[0128] Exemplarily, the terminal may measure all frequency domain resources of the downlink sub-band at the time domain position corresponding to the SI measurement resource, or measure the RSSI on the frequency domain bandwidth or guard band corresponding to the downlink SI measurement resource. It should be noted that the network-side device does not perform downlink transmission to the terminal on all frequency domain resources of the downlink sub-band or the frequency domain bandwidth corresponding to the downlink SI measurement resource to avoid affecting the terminal's SI measurement.
[0129] Alternatively, the terminal may measure the received power on the REs corresponding to the downlink SI measurement resource and the uplink SI measurement resource at the time domain position corresponding to the SI measurement resource, for example, measuring the average received power on the REs corresponding to the downlink SI measurement resource and the uplink SI measurement resource. The uplink signal corresponding to the uplink SI measurement resource is an SRS or a DMRS. Optionally, the network-side device does not perform downlink transmission to the terminal on the RE corresponding to the downlink SI measurement resource, or performs rate matching on the downlink transmission to avoid affecting the terminal's SI measurement.
[0130] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, after the terminal receives the configuration information configured by the network-side device, the method further includes:
[0131] The terminal sends an SI measurement signal to the network side device according to the configuration information.
[0132] Exemplarily, after receiving the configuration information configured by the network side device, at a specific moment, which may be determined according to the configuration information or according to other instructions of the network side device, the terminal sends an SI measurement signal to the network side device according to the configuration information, and performs SI measurement according to the configuration information to obtain an SI measurement result. It can be understood that the terminal sends the SI measurement signal according to the configuration information, which enables the network side device to know that the terminal is performing SI measurement, and also enables the terminal to send the SI measurement signal after receiving the configuration information of the network side device, so that this sending behavior is controllable and avoids unnecessary sending behavior of the terminal. Among them, the SI measurement signal can be PUSCH, PUCCH, SRS, Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH)
[0133] Optionally, the terminal sending an SI measurement signal to the network side device according to the configuration information includes:
[0134] The terminal sends a corresponding uplink signal or channel on the frequency domain bandwidth corresponding to the uplink sub-band SI measurement resource according to the configuration information.
[0135] For example, the terminal sends a corresponding uplink signal or channel on the frequency domain bandwidth corresponding to the uplink subband SI measurement resource at the time domain position corresponding to the SI measurement resource according to the configuration information. The uplink signal or channel may be a dynamically scheduled or semi-statically configured uplink signal or channel, such as PUSCH, PUCCH, SRS, etc. The uplink signal or channel sent by the terminal is also used to implicitly indicate the SI measurement signal.
[0136] Optionally, the method further includes:
[0137] When the content reported by the terminal includes layer 1 signal-to-noise and interference ratio (L1-SINR), the terminal (in the downlink subband) performs channel measurement on the channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) and interference measurement (CSI interference measurement (CSI-IM) signal from the network side device to obtain channel information and neighboring cell interference information respectively;
[0138] The terminal obtains the L1-SINR according to the channel information, the neighboring cell interference information, and the SI measurement result (eg, RSSI).
[0139] Furthermore, the terminal reports the L1-SINR.
[0140] In the embodiment of the present application, the SI measurement performed by the terminal may be triggered by a network-side device. Optionally, the terminal performs the SI measurement according to the configuration information, including:
[0141] The terminal receives a trigger signal sent by the network side device;
[0142] The terminal performs SI measurement based on the trigger signal and the configuration information.
[0143] In an embodiment of the present application, the SI measurement behavior on the terminal side may be triggered by a network side device. For example, the network side device may send a corresponding trigger signal, and the terminal, upon receiving the trigger signal, performs SI measurement based on the configuration information. It should be noted that the network side device may send the trigger signal irregularly, and the terminal, upon receiving the trigger signal, performs SI measurement based on the configuration information, thereby making the SI measurement behavior on the terminal side controllable.
[0144] Optionally, the trigger signal is a periodic trigger signal. For example, the network device may configure a periodic measurement window. During this measurement window, the terminal performs SI measurements based on the reporting configuration or SI measurement resource information configured by the network device, and reports the SI measurement results. By configuring a periodic measurement window, the network device can avoid frequently sending trigger signals, thereby saving power consumption of the network device.
[0145] Optionally, each SI measurement result reported by the terminal includes at least one of the following:
[0146] Reporting type of SI measurement results, such as RSSI, L1-SINR, etc.

[0155] Modulation method of SI measurement resources;
[0156] Frequency domain spacing between downlink SI measurement resources and uplink subbands;
[0157] Frequency domain interval between uplink SI measurement resources and downlink subbands.
[0158] For example, the terminal may report all or part of the content in Table 1 below:
[0159] Table 1
[0160] It should be noted that the above Table 1 is only an example of the terminal reporting the SI measurement results, and does not constitute a limitation on the SI measurement results of this application.

Optionally, downlink SI measurement resources are also called DL SI measurement resources (first resources), and uplink SI measurement resources are also called UL SI measurement resources (second resources).
