Description

A method and apparatus related to PRACH in a node used for wireless communication

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on March 29, 2024, with application number 202410384127.1 and application name “A method and device related to PRACH in a node used for wireless communication”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to a transmission method and apparatus in a wireless communication system, and in particular to a transmission method and apparatus for wireless signals in a wireless communication system supporting a cellular network. Background Art

[0003] In existing NR (New Radio) systems, spectrum resources are statically divided into FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) and TDD (Time Division Duplex) spectrum. For TDD spectrum, both base stations and user equipment (UE) operate in half-duplex mode. This half-duplex mode avoids self-interference and mitigates the impact of cross-link interference (CLI), but it also leads to reduced resource utilization and increased latency. To address these issues, supporting flexible duplex modes or variable link directions (uplink, downlink, or flexible) in TDD or FDD spectrum is a possible solution. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has agreed to conduct research on duplex technologies, specifically subband non-overlapping full-duplex (SBFD) mode for gNBs (NR Node Bs). Optimizing system design accordingly is a key component of this research.

[0004] PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel) transmission is an important aspect in wireless communications. Summary of the Invention

[0005] How to optimize the PRACH transmission triggered by PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) is a key issue that needs to be considered in system design; the present application discloses a solution to the above problem. It should be noted that the present application can be applicable to a variety of wireless communication scenarios, such as scenarios using SBFD mode, scenarios using other types of full-duplex modes other than SBFD, scenarios using more flexible duplex modes, etc., and achieve similar technical effects. In addition, the use of a unified solution for different scenarios (including but not limited to scenarios using SBFD mode, scenarios using other types of full-duplex modes other than SBFD, and scenarios using more flexible duplex modes) can also help reduce hardware complexity and cost, or improve performance. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in any node of the present application can be applied to any other node. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0172] Example 3

[0173] Embodiment 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a radio protocol architecture for a user plane and a control plane according to the present application, as shown in FIG3 . FIG3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment of a radio protocol architecture for a user plane 350 and a control plane 300. FIG3 illustrates the radio protocol architecture for a first communication node device (a UE, a gNB, or an RSU (Roadside Unit) in a V2X (Vehicle to Everything) network, an onboard device, or an onboard communication module) and a second communication node device (a gNB, a UE, or an RSU in a V2X network, an onboard device, or an onboard communication module), or the control plane 300 between two UEs using three layers: Layer 1 (L1), Layer 2 (L2), and Layer 3 (L3). L1 is the lowest layer and implements various PHY (physical layer) signal processing functions. L1 will be referred to herein as PHY 301. Layer 2 (L2 layer) 305 is above PHY301 and is responsible for the link between the first communication node device and the second communication node device and the two UEs through PHY301. L2 305 includes a MAC (Medium Access Control) sublayer 302, an RLC (Radio Link Control) sublayer 303, and a PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) sublayer 304, which terminate at the second communication node device. The PDCP sublayer 304 provides multiplexing between different radio bearers and logical channels. The PDCP sublayer 304 also provides security by encrypting data packets, and provides support for inter-zone mobility of the first communication node device between the second communication node devices. The RLC sublayer 303 provides segmentation and reassembly of upper layer data packets, retransmission of lost data packets, and reordering of data packets to compensate for out-of-order reception due to HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request). The MAC sublayer 302 provides multiplexing between logical and transport channels. The MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for allocating various radio resources (e.g., resource blocks) within a cell between first communication node devices. The MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for HARQ operations. The RRC (Radio Resource Control) sublayer 306 in L3 of the control plane 300 is responsible for obtaining radio resources (i.e., radio bearers) and configuring lower layers using RRC signaling between the second communication node device and the first communication node device.The radio protocol architecture of the user plane 350 includes Layer 1 (L1) and Layer 2 (L2). The radio protocol architecture for the first and second communication node devices in the user plane 350 is substantially the same as the corresponding layers and sublayers in the control plane 300, including the physical layer 351, the PDCP sublayer 354 in the L2 layer 355, the RLC sublayer 353 in the L2 layer 355, and the MAC sublayer 352 in the L2 layer 355. However, the PDCP sublayer 354 also provides header compression for upper layer data packets to reduce radio transmission overhead. The L2 layer 355 in the user plane 350 also includes the SDAP (Service Data Adaptation Protocol) sublayer 356, which is responsible for mapping QoS (Quality of Service) flows and data radio bearers (DRBs) to support service diversity. Although not shown, the first communication node device may have several upper layers above the L2 layer 355, including a network layer (e.g., an IP (Internet Protocol) layer) terminating at the P-GW on the network side and an application layer terminating at the other end of the connection (e.g., a remote UE, a server, etc.).

[0180] Example 4

[0181] Embodiment 4 shows a schematic diagram of a first communication device and a second communication device according to the present application, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 is a block diagram of a first communication device 410 and a second communication device 450 communicating with each other in an access network.

[0182] The first communications device 410 includes a controller / processor 475 , a memory 476 , a receive processor 470 , a transmit processor 416 , a multi-antenna receive processor 472 , a multi-antenna transmit processor 471 , a transmitter / receiver 418 , and an antenna 420 .

[0183] The second communication device 450 includes a controller / processor 459 , a memory 460 , a data source 467 , a transmit processor 468 , a receive processor 456 , a multi-antenna transmit processor 457 , a multi-antenna receive processor 458 , a transmitter / receiver 454 and an antenna 452 .

[0184] During transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, upper layer data packets from the core network are provided to the controller / processor 475 at the first communication device 410. The controller / processor 475 implements L2 layer functionality. During transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, the controller / processor 475 provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, multiplexing between logical and transport channels, and radio resource allocation to the second communication device 450 based on various priority metrics. The controller / processor 475 is also responsible for retransmission of lost packets and signaling to the second communication device 450. The transmit processor 416 and the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 implement various signal processing functions for the L1 layer (i.e., the physical layer). The transmit processor 416 performs coding and interleaving to facilitate forward error correction (FEC) at the second communication device 450, as well as mapping signal constellations based on various modulation schemes (e.g., binary phase shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), M-phase shift keying (M-PSK), and M-quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM)). The multi-antenna transmit processor 471 performs digital spatial precoding, including codebook-based and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming on the coded and modulated symbols to generate one or more spatial streams. The transmit processor 416 then maps each spatial stream to a subcarrier, multiplexes it with a reference signal (e.g., a pilot) in the time and / or frequency domain, and then uses an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) to generate a physical channel carrying a time-domain multi-carrier symbol stream. The multi-antenna transmit processor 471 then performs transmit analog precoding / beamforming operations on the time-domain multi-carrier symbol stream. Each transmitter 418 converts the baseband multi-carrier symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 into a radio frequency stream, which is then provided to a different antenna 420.

[0185] During transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, at the second communication device 450, each receiver 454 receives a signal via its corresponding antenna 452. Each receiver 454 recovers the information modulated onto the RF carrier and converts the RF stream into a baseband multi-carrier symbol stream, which is provided to the receive processor 456. The receive processor 456 and the multi-antenna receive processor 458 implement various L1 signal processing functions. The multi-antenna receive processor 458 performs receive analog precoding / beamforming operations on the baseband multi-carrier symbol stream from the receiver 454. The receive processor 456 converts the baseband multi-carrier symbol stream, after the receive analog precoding / beamforming operations, from the time domain to the frequency domain using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). In the frequency domain, the physical layer data signal and reference signal are demultiplexed by the receive processor 456, where the reference signal is used for channel estimation. The data signal undergoes multi-antenna detection in the multi-antenna receive processor 458 to recover any spatial stream destined for the second communication device 450. The symbols on each spatial stream are demodulated and recovered in the receive processor 456, and soft decisions are generated. The receive processor 456 then decodes and deinterleaves the soft decisions to recover the upper layer data and control signals transmitted by the first communications device 410 on the physical channel. The upper layer data and control signals are then provided to the controller / processor 459. The controller / processor 459 implements the functions of the L2 layer. The controller / processor 459 may be associated with a memory 460 that stores program code and data. The memory 460 may be referred to as a computer-readable medium. During transmission from the first communications device 410 to the second communications device 450, the controller / processor 459 provides demultiplexing between transport and logical channels, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing to recover upper layer data packets from the core network. The upper layer data packets are then provided to all protocol layers above the L2 layer. Various control signals may also be provided to the L3 layer for L3 processing.

[0186] During transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, a data source 467 is used at the second communication device 450 to provide upper layer data packets to the controller / processor 459. The data source 467 represents all protocol layers above the L2 layer. Similar to the transmission functionality at the first communication device 410 described in the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, the controller / processor 459 implements header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between logical and transport channels based on radio resource allocation, implementing L2 layer functions for the user plane and control plane. The controller / processor 459 is also responsible for retransmission of lost packets and signaling to the first communication device 410. The transmit processor 468 performs modulation mapping and channel coding, while the multi-antenna transmit processor 457 performs digital multi-antenna spatial precoding, including codebook-based and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming. The transmit processor 468 then modulates the resulting spatial stream into a multi-carrier / single-carrier symbol stream. After analog precoding and beamforming operations in the multi-antenna transmit processor 457, the stream is provided to different antennas 452 via the transmitter 454. Each transmitter 454 first converts the baseband symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmit processor 457 into a RF symbol stream before providing it to the antenna 452.

[0187] During transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, the functionality at the first communication device 410 is similar to the reception functionality at the second communication device 450 described for transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450. Each receiver 418 receives RF signals via its corresponding antenna 420, converts the received RF signals into baseband signals, and provides the baseband signals to the multi-antenna receive processor 472 and the receive processor 470. The receive processor 470 and the multi-antenna receive processor 472 collectively implement L1 layer functionality. The controller / processor 475 implements L2 layer functionality. The controller / processor 475 may be associated with a memory 476 storing program codes and data. The memory 476 may be referred to as a computer-readable medium. During transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, the controller / processor 475 provides demultiplexing between transport and logical channels, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing to recover upper layer data packets from the UE 450. Upper layer packets from controller / processor 475 may be provided to the core network.
