[0027] Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present disclosure, and cannot be understood as limiting the present disclosure. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0028] To facilitate understanding, first introduce the terms related to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0029] 1. Subband Full Duplex (SBFD)

[0030] To improve uplink (UL) coverage and throughput, SBFD is studied. Specifically, a carrier component (CC) is divided into multiple subbands (SBs) in the frequency domain on the downlink (DL) or flexible (F) symbol, the multiple SBs including one UL subband and at least one (1 or 2) DL subband, and the base station can transmit DL signals in the DL subband and simultaneously receive UL signals in the UL subband. Wherein, the DL or F symbol is the symbol indicated as DL or F by TDD-UL-DL-ConfigCommon or TDD-UL-DL-ConfigDedicated configuration or DCI2-0. When a symbol contains both DL subband and UL subband in the frequency domain, it can be called SBFD symbol. Similarly, when a time slot contains at least one SBFD symbol among the multiple symbols contained in the time slot, the time slot can be called SBFD time slot. As shown in FIG. 1, time slot #0 is a DL time slot containing 14 DL symbols, time slots #1-3 are SBFD time slots each containing 14 SBFD symbols, and time slot #4 is a UL time slot containing 14 UL symbols.

[0031] In addition, there can be a guard band (GB) between the DL subband and the UL subband to reduce the interference between the DL signal in the DL subband and the UL signal in the UL subband through frequency domain isolation.

[0032] In the SBFD symbol, the GB and the DL subband are unavailable for UL transmission, and the UL subband is available for UL transmission. In the SBFD symbol, the frequency domain range available for UL transmission can be referred to as an UL available frequency domain range, and the frequency domain range unavailable for UL transmission can be referred to as an UL unavailable frequency domain range. According to the above analysis, the UL frequency domain range of the non-SBFD symbol and the SBFD symbol is different. The UL available frequency domain range is the UL frequency domain range on the CC. In the SBFD symbol, the UL available frequency domain range on the UL BandWidth Part (BWP) refers to the frequency domain range overlapping the UL available frequency domain range on the CC.

[0033] 2. Random Access (RA)

[0034] When a user equipment (UE) is in an idle state, the UE measures the received signal strength and other information of a Synchronized Signal Block (SSB) beam when initially accessing a cell, and selects an optimal SSB beam. The UE sends a PRACH signal on a Random Access Channel (RACH) occasion (RO) in the direction of the optimal SSB beam to perform random access. In addition, the UE can send a PRACH signal on an RO to perform random access in other states. Random access includes Contention-Based Random Access (CBRA) and Contention-Free Random Access (CFRA), where there are multiple UEs using the same preamble sequence (Preamble) in CBRA, that is, the PRACH signals of 2 UEs collide, which can cause random access to fail.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 2, on the SBFD symbol, the UE can send an uplink signal on the UL SB. Therefore, compared with configuring an RO only on the UL or F symbol, configuring an RO on the SBFD symbol can increase the number of ROs. A UE (SBFD-aware UE) that can identify the SBFD symbol configuration can perform random access on the SBFD symbol configuration RO, which can reduce the access delay and also reduce the probability of PRACH signal collision between different UEs in CBRA.

[0036] Considering the large difference of interference between SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols, the power parameters of PRACH transmission can be configured differently for SBFD and non-SBFD symbols, so that SBFD aware UEs can transmit at different powers for SBFD and non-SBFD symbols: reduce the PRACH transmission power on SBFD symbols to reduce the UE-UE cross-link interference (CLI) to other UEs; increase the PRACH transmission power on SBFD symbols to overcome the impact of gNB-gNB CLI on PRACH transmission performance.

[0037] 3、Four-step random access (4-step RA) and two-step random access (2-step RA)

[0038] According to the number of steps of the RA procedure, it can be divided into 4-step RA and 2-step RA, and according to whether the preamble used by the UE will conflict with the preamble of other UEs, it can be divided into CBRA and CFRA.

[0039] In CBRA with 4-step RA type, the UE sends Msg1 and Msg3, and the gNB sends Msg2 and Msg4, which can complete random access in 4 steps. Among them, Msg1 is a PRACH signal.

[0040] In CBRA with 2-step RA type, the UE sends MsgA and the gNB sends MsgB, which can complete random access in 2 steps. Among them, MsgA includes MsgA-PRACH and MsgA-PUSCH signals.

[0041] In CFRA with 4-step RA type, the UE sends Msg1 and the gNB sends Msg2, which can complete random access in 2 steps. Among them, Msg1 is a PRACH signal. In addition, the gNB needs to configure the preamble used by the UE's PRACH signal in advance

[0042] In CFRA with 2-step RA type, the UE sends MsgA and the gNB sends MsgB, which can complete random access in 2 steps. Among them, MsgA includes MsgA-PRACH and MsgA-PUSCH signals. In addition, the gNB needs to configure the preamble used by the UE's MsgA signal and the PUSCH resource in advance.

[0043] Specifically, the related power parameter configuration in 4-step RA is as follows:

[0044] preambleReceivedTargetPower: target received power of PRACH transmission;

[0045] powerRampingStep: power ramping step of PRACH transmission.

[0046] After PRACH transmission failure, if the beam does not switch, the next PRACH transmission power increases by powerRampingStep; after PRACH transmission failure, if the beam switches, the next PRACH transmission power remains unchanged.

[0047] Specifically, the related power parameters in 2-step RA are configured as follows:

[0048] msgA-PreambleReceivedTargetPower-r16: target received power of MsgA-PRACH transmission;

[0049] msgA-PreamblePowerRampingStep-r16: power ramping step of MsgA-PRACH transmission.

[0050] After MsgA-PRACH transmission failure, if the beam does not switch, the next MsgA-PRACH transmission power increases by msgA-Preamble Power Ramping Step-r16; after MsgA-PRACH transmission failure, if the beam switches, the next MsgA-PRACH transmission power remains unchanged.

[0051] In addition, in 4-step RA and 2-step RA, the maximum transmission power of PRACH and MsgA-PRACH is PCMAX.

[0140] Further, in order to illustrate the specific execution process of the above communication system, FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method is applied to the above communication system, as shown in FIG. 4, and can include the following steps:

[0141] Step S201, the network device sends first information to the terminal.

[0142] In some embodiments, the terminal can receive the first information sent by the network device.

[0143] In some embodiments, the first information can be high-layer configured or dynamically indicated information.

[0144] In some embodiments, the first information is carried by at least one of the following:

[0145] RRC message, MAC CE, DCI, system information block (SIB), master information block (MIB), etc.

[0146] In some embodiments, the first information can include configuration information of the power parameter of PRACH on the SBFD time unit. Through the configuration information, the power parameter of PRACH on the SBFD time unit can be determined.

[0147] In some embodiments, the time unit can be a frame, a subframe, a slot, a symbol, etc.

[0148] In some embodiments, the configuration information of the power parameter of PRACH on SBFD time unit can comprise at least one of the following A1 to E1:

[0149] A1, first difference information, the first difference information is used to determine the power parameter difference of the first signal on the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit. For example, taking the SBFD time unit as the SBFD symbol, the offset between the power parameter of the first signal on the SBFD symbol and the power parameter of the first signal on the non-SBFD symbol, that is, the first difference information can include the difference of the power parameters of other UL signals on the SBFD and non-SBFD symbols. In some examples, the first signal is an uplink signal different from PRACH, such as a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), a sounding reference signal (SRS), and the like.

[0150] B1, second difference information, the second difference information is used to determine the power parameter difference of PRACH on the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit. For example, taking the SBFD time unit as the SBFD symbol, the offset between the power parameter of PRACH on the SBFD symbol and the power parameter of PRACH on the non-SBFD symbol, that is, the second difference information can include the difference of the power parameters of PRACH signals on the SBFD and non-SBFD symbols.

[0151] C1, conversion parameter between the first difference information (A1) and the second difference information (B1). For example, the conversion parameter can determine the conversion relationship between the first difference information and the second difference information. In some embodiments, the conversion parameter can be a parameter value obtained by the first information, so that the second difference information can be derived from the first difference information, and the first difference information can also be derived from the second difference information. The conversion parameter can not be static and unchangeable, but can be dynamically adjusted according to system state, environmental change or time sequence data, so as to maintain the accuracy and effectiveness of the conversion.

[0152] D1, the power parameter of PRACH on the non-SBFD time unit.

[0153] E1, the power parameter of PRACH on the SBFD time unit.

[0154] In some embodiments, the power parameter difference of A1 and B1 can comprise at least one of the following A2 to C2:

[0155] A2, the difference of the maximum transmit power;

[0156] B2, the difference of the target receive power;

[0157] C2, difference of power ramping step.

[0158] In some embodiments, in PRACH related power control mechanism, the maximum transmit power, target received power, power ramping step are all key power parameters that have direct impact on the success rate of random access procedure and network efficiency.

[0159] Wherein, the maximum transmit power (Pcmax) refers to the maximum power level that the terminal can reach when transmitting signals, the target received power (preambleReceivedTargetPower) is the signal strength that the network hopes to receive at the base station end, and the power ramping step (powerRampingStep) defines the magnitude of power increase for each attempt when failing to obtain network response immediately.

[0160] In some embodiments, the difference of power parameters can be represented by the difference of power parameters of the first signal and / or PRACH in SBFD time units and non-SBFD time units.

[0161] In some embodiments, the difference of power parameters of PRACH is or is not in the random access channel (RACH) resource configuration. The RACH resource configuration is used to manage the random access procedure to ensure that the terminal can correctly start the access procedure, whether in the initial attachment, handover procedure, or when the terminal needs to reacquire network services. Through reasonable resource configuration, the network can avoid channel congestion caused by too many terminals trying to access at the same time. According to actual needs, the difference of power parameters of PRACH can or can not be in the RACH resource configuration.

[0162] In some embodiments, according to actual needs, the power parameters of PRACH in SBFD time units can or can not be in the RACH resource configuration.

[0163] In some embodiments, the network device can manage the PRACH power of the terminal through direct indication or indirect guidance to adapt to different network environments and random access needs.

[0164] In some embodiments, the network device can make the UE use the difference of power parameters and / or power parameters of PRACH when performing random access as part of the RACH resource configuration through protocol default / network configuration / dynamic indication, etc. Including special power setting guidance for SBFD time units to optimize the success rate of random access and network efficiency.

[0165] In some embodiments, the network device can also configure the allocation of the time-frequency resource of main concern, the selection of preamble sequence, etc. through the RACH resource, without directly specifying the specific PRACH power parameter difference and / or power parameter. In this case, the terminal can self-adjust the power parameter difference and / or power parameter of the PRACH according to the open-loop power control principle (such as based on the preliminary estimation of path loss) or the power control command received before.

[0166] Step S202, the terminal determines the power parameter of the PRACH on the SBFD time unit according to the first information.

[0167] In some embodiments, the terminal can determine the power parameter of the PRACH on the SBFD time unit according to at least one of A1 to E1 above, such as based on the configuration information of the power parameter, which can be determined according to one or more of the first difference information, the second difference information, the conversion parameter between the first difference information and the second difference information, the power parameter of the PRACH on the non-SBFD time unit, and the power parameter of the PRACH on the SBFD time unit.

[0168] In some embodiments, the power parameter of the PRACH on the SBFD time unit includes at least one of A3 to C3 below:

[0169] A3, maximum transmit power;

[0170] B3, target received power;

[0171] C3, power ramping step.

[0172] In some embodiments, the maximum transmit power, the target received power, and the power ramping step of the PRACH on the SBFD time unit can be configured as Pcmax_SBFD, preambleReceivedTargetPower_SBFD, and powerRampingStep_SBFD, respectively. Among them, the PRACH can flexibly configure the power parameters, wherein at least one of the maximum transmit power, the target received power, and the power ramping step needs to be different from the configuration of the non-SBFD time unit. To reduce the cross-link interference to other terminals or overcome the impact of gNB-gNB CLI on the PRACH transmission performance through the differentiated power parameter configuration.

[0173] In some embodiments, other UL signals can be configured with different power parameters in SBFD and non-SBFD time units in order to overcome gNB-gNB CLI or reduce UE-UE CLI. In this case, the difference of PRACH power parameters in SBFD and non-SBFD time units can be calculated according to the difference of other UL signals in SBFD and non-SBFD time units. In this way, the signaling overhead of PRACH power difference configuration can be reduced.

[0174] In some embodiments, the power parameter of PRACH in SBFD time units can be determined by the first difference information, the conversion parameter and the power parameter of PRACH in non-SBFD time units.

[0175] In some embodiments, taking the maximum transmission power of PRACH in SBFD time units as an example, if the difference between the maximum transmission power of the first signal in SBFD time units and non-SBFD time units in the configuration information is offset#1, the maximum power difference between PRACH in SBFD time units and non-SBFD time units can be determined by Formula One.

[0176] offset#2=A*offset#1+a (Formula One)

[0177] Wherein, A and a are conversion parameters between offset#1 and offset#2 obtained by protocol default / network configuration / dynamic indication, etc.

[0178] Further, the maximum transmission power of PRACH in SBFD time units is:

[0179] Pcmax_SBFD=Pcmax_non-SBFD±offset#2 (Formula Two)

[0180] Wherein, Pcmax_SBFD and Pcmax_non-SBFD are the maximum transmission power of PRACH in SBFD and non-SBFD time units, respectively. In this embodiment, the maximum transmission power in non-SBFD time units can be specifically selected according to the protocol default / network configuration / dynamic indication, etc. The maximum transmission power difference offset#2 is added or reduced to obtain the maximum transmission power in SBFD time units.

[0181] In some embodiments, if the difference of the target received power of the first signal in the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit in the configuration information is offset#3, the target power difference of the PRACH in the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit can be determined by formula three as offset#4.

[0182] offset#4=B*offset#3+b (Formula three)

[0183] Wherein, B and b are conversion parameters between offset#3 and offset#4 obtained by protocol default / network configuration / dynamic indication and the like.

[0184] Further, the target received power of the PRACH in the SBFD time unit is:

[0185] preambleReceivedTargetPower_SBFD=preambleReceivedTargetPower_non-SBFD±offset#4 (Formula four)

[0186] Wherein, preambleReceivedTargetPower_SBFD and preambleReceivedTargetPower_non-SBFD are the target received power of the PRACH in the SBFD and non-SBFD time units, respectively, in the embodiment, the target received power in the non-SBFD time unit can be specifically selected according to the protocol default / network configuration / dynamic indication and the like, and the target power difference offset#4 is added or reduced to obtain the target received power in the SBFD time unit.

[0187] In some embodiments, if the difference of the power ramping step of the first signal in the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit in the configuration information is offset#5, the power ramping step difference of the PRACH in the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit can be determined by formula five as offset#6.

[0188] offset#6=C*offset#5+c (Formula five)

[0189] Wherein, C and c are conversion parameters between offset#5 and offset#6 obtained by protocol default / network configuration / dynamic indication and the like.

[0190] Further, the power ramping step of the PRACH in the SBFD time unit is:

[0191] powerRampingStep_SBFD = powerRampingStep_non-SBFD ± offset#6 (Formula Six)

[0192] Wherein, powerRampingStep_SBFD and powerRampingStep_non-SBFD are power ramping step of PRACH in SBFD and non-SBFD time unit respectively, in the embodiment, the power ramping step in non-SBFD time unit can be selected according to the protocol default / network configuration / dynamic indication, and the power ramping step difference offset#6 is added or reduced based on the power ramping step in non-SBFD time unit to obtain the power ramping step in SBFD time unit.

[0193] In some embodiments, at least one of the above power parameter differences offset#1, offset#3, offset#5 is not 0.

[0194] In some embodiments, when the difference of power parameters of PRACH in SBFD and non-SBFD spatial units is calculated according to the difference of power parameters of the first signal in SBFD and non-SBFD spatial units, at least one of Pcmax, preambleReceivedTargetPower, powerRampingStep can be calculated differently. In some embodiments, at least one of the maximum transmit power, the power ramping step, and the target received power is not present in the first signal, and the absent parameter is not used to determine the PRACH power parameter in SBFD symbol. In some embodiments, the power parameter of PRACH in SBFD time unit can be determined by the second difference information and the power parameter of PRACH in non-SBFD time unit.

[0195] In some embodiments, if the differences of the maximum transmit power, the target received power, and the power ramping step of SBFD time unit and non-SBFD time unit in the configuration information are offset#7, offset#8, and offset#9 respectively, the power parameter of PRACH in SBFD time unit can be determined by the following formula.

[0196] Pcmax_SBFD = Pcmax_non-SBFD ± offset#7 (Formula Seven)

[0197] preambleReceivedTargetPower_SBFD = preambleReceivedTargetPower_non-SBFD ± offset#8 (Formula Eight)

[0198] powerRampingStep_SBFD = powerRampingStep_non-SBFD ± offset#9 (Equation Nine)

[0199] In some embodiments, at least one of the above power parameter differences offset#7, offset#8, offset#9 is not 0. In this embodiment, the maximum transmit power difference offset#7 can be increased or decreased based on the maximum transmit power in the non-SBFD time unit, and the target receive power difference offset#8 can be increased or decreased based on the target receive power in the non-SBFD time unit, and / or the power ramping step difference offset#9 can be increased or decreased based on the power ramping step in the non-SBFD time unit, to obtain the maximum transmit power in the SBFD time unit, the target receive power in the SBFD time unit, and / or the power ramping step in the SBFD time unit, according to the protocol default / network configuration / dynamic indication, etc.

[0200] In some embodiments, the power parameters of PRACH in the SBFD time unit can be determined directly through the PRACH power parameter information in the SBFD time unit.

[0201] In some embodiments, the above method can be used to determine the power parameters of PRACH in 4-step RA and 2-step RA.

[0202] In some embodiments, the method of this embodiment is mainly applicable to terminals (SBFD aware UE) with cognitive or support capabilities for SBFD technology, and is also applicable to network equipment side.

[0203] In some embodiments, at least one of the power parameters of PRACH in the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit is different.

[0204] In some embodiments, PRACH transmission can use differentiated power configuration parameters in SBFD and non-SBFD time units to reduce UE-UE CLI interference to other terminals or overcome the impact of gNB-gNB CLI on PRACH transmission performance.

[0205] In some embodiments, the terminal receives second information sent by the network device; wherein the second information is used to indicate whether the second difference information is determined according to the first difference information.

[0206] In some embodiments, the network device sends second information to the terminal.

[0207] In some embodiments, when the non-differentiated configuration of the power parameter of the PRACH signal on the SBFD and non-SBFD time units is used, the second information can be used to indicate whether the differentiated configuration of the power parameter of the PRACH signal on the SBFD and non-SBFD time units is obtained according to the differentiated calculation of the power parameter of the first signal on the SBFD and non-SBFD time units.

[0208] In some embodiments, when the power parameter of multiple categories of signals in the first signal is differentiated, the specific category of the first signal used to determine the power parameter of the PRACH on the SBFD symbol is determined according to the protocol agreement / network configuration / dynamic indication.

[0209] In some embodiments, different categories of signals are designed to serve different communication purposes, so their power control strategies and parameters will also be different, resulting in different differentiated configurations of the power parameter. The signal category suitable for the differentiated configuration of the power parameter of the PRACH signal can be determined by the protocol agreement / network configuration / dynamic indication, etc.

[0210] In some embodiments, the first difference information and the second difference information are both included in the configuration information, and the second difference information is used to determine the power parameter of the PRACH on the SBFD time unit.

[0211] In some embodiments, considering that other UL signals have different structures from the PRACH signal, the differentiated values of the power of different signals can be different. The differentiated configuration of the power parameter of the PRACH signal on the SBFD and non-SBFD time units can be directly configured in the first information, and the above differentiated configuration of the power parameter is more suitable for the PRACH signal.

[0212] In some embodiments, if the first difference information and the second difference information are both configured in the first information, the second difference information more suitable for the PRACH signal can be preferentially selected to determine the power parameter of the PRACH on the SBFD time unit, and the PRACH is configured according to the obtained power parameter.

[0213] In some embodiments, considering that other UL signals have different structures from the PRACH signal, the differentiated values of the power of different signals can be different. The power parameter of the PRACH signal on the SBFD can also be directly configured in the first information to achieve the differentiated configuration of the power of the PRACH on the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit, and the above differentiated configuration of the power parameter is more suitable for the PRACH signal.

[0214] In some embodiments, if the power parameter of the PRACH on the SBFD time unit is configured in the first information, the power parameter of the PRACH on the SBFD time unit can be directly selected to configure the PRACH.

[0215] In some embodiments, the first parameter in the power parameters of the PRACH on the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit is configured to be the same, and the first parameter of the PRACH on the SBFD time unit is determined using the first parameter on the non-SBFD time unit.

[0216] In some embodiments, the first parameter can be a parameter other than the maximum transmission power, the target received power, and the power ramping step in the power parameters of the PRACH signal on the SBFD and non-SBFD time units. By uniformly configuring other parameters, the management complexity of PRACH power control can be simplified, the possibility of configuration errors can be reduced, and it can not be necessary to separately set power parameters for different types of subframes.

[0217] In some embodiments, after determining the power parameter of the PRACH on the SBFD time unit according to the first information, one or more of the maximum transmission power, the target received power, and the power ramping step of the PRACH on the SBFD time unit can be adjusted according to the received power parameter configuration, to achieve differentiated configuration of the power parameters of the PRACH on the SBFD time unit and the non-SBFD time unit, reduce interference to the PRACH during transmission, and improve the efficiency of random access.

[0218] The communication method related to the present embodiment can include at least one of steps S201-S202. For example, step S201 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, and step S202 can be implemented as an independent embodiment. In addition, part or all of the steps in steps S201-S202 can be combined to implement an independent embodiment, and the present embodiment does not limit this.

[0219] The terminal of the present embodiment can determine the first information and determine the power parameter of the PRACH on the SBFD time unit according to the first information, so that the power parameter of the PRACH on the SBFD time unit is different from the power parameter of the PRACH on the non-SBFD time unit. Through differentiated power parameter configuration, the cross-link interference between terminals of other terminals can be reduced, or the influence of cross-link interference between network devices on the PRACH transmission performance can be overcome.
