Description

A method and apparatus in a node used for wireless communication and measurement

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese Patent Application No. 202411002147.4, filed on July 24, 2024, and entitled "A method and apparatus in a node used for wireless communication and measurement", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to a signal transmission method and apparatus in a wireless communication system, and in particular to a measurement and reporting method and apparatus. BACKGROUND

[0003] In a conventional wireless communication, a UE (User Equipment) reports various assistance information, such as channel information, beam management related assistance information, positioning related assistance information, etc., by measuring a downlink signal and / or channel. The channel information includes, but is not limited to, one or more of CRI (CSI-RS Resource Indicator), RI (Rank Indicator), PMI (Precoding Matrix Indicator), or CQI (Channel Quality Indicator). The UE can use this information to select appropriate transmission parameters, or report this information.

[0004] In the Release-19 multi-antenna enhancement topic, a UE triggered BM (Beam Management) scheme is proposed to reduce signaling overhead and improve transmission speed. Furthermore, the signaling design and process design required for UE triggered BM reporting need to be discussed in the standard. SUMMARY

[0005] Currently, the UE initiated / Event-driven beam reporting is received by the standard in two ways, namely mode A and mode B. Mode A is that the UE requests resources from the base station, and then the base station issues resource scheduling to realize the UE uploading of beam management related information. Mode B is that the UE informs the base station that it will send beam management information, and then sends beam management related information in a pre-configured non-dynamic scheduling resource. However, for mode B, when the pre-configured non-dynamic scheduling resource capable of transmitting beam management information overlaps with the uplink scheduling of the base station for the UE, how to transmit the beam management related information needs to be considered and solved.

[0006] To solve the above problems, a solution is disclosed in the present application. It should be noted that in the description of the above problems, the NR system is taken as an example, and the present application is also applicable to scenarios such as future 6G systems, and achieves similar technical effects to the NR system. Further, although the original intention of the present application is for a beam management scenario, the present application can also be applied to other non-beam management scenarios. Further, a unified design scheme for different scenarios (such as other non-beam management scenarios, including but not limited to mobility management, resource scheduling, capacity enhancement system, near distance communication system, NTN (Non Terrestrial Network), IoT (Internet of Things), URLLC (Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication) network, etc.) can also help to reduce hardware complexity and cost.

[0235] Example 3

[0236] Example 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a wireless protocol architecture for the user plane and control plane according to an embodiment of this application, as shown in Figure 3.

[0237] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment of the wireless protocol architecture for the user plane 350 and the control plane 300. Figure 3 shows the wireless protocol architecture for the control plane 300 between a first communication node device (UE or RSU in V2X, onboard equipment or onboard communication module) and a second node device (gNB, RSU in UE or V2X, onboard equipment or onboard communication module), or 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. L2 305 is above PHY 301 and is responsible for the link between the first node device and the second node device, or between two UEs, through PHY 301. 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 node device. The PDCP sublayer 304 provides multiplexing between different radio bearers and logical channels. It also provides security through encrypted data packets and supports cross-cell mobility between the second communication node devices and the first communication node device. The RLC sublayer 303 provides upper-layer packet segmentation and reassembly, retransmission of lost packets, and packet reordering 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 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 using RRC signaling between the second communication node device and the first communication node device to configure the lower layer.The wireless protocol architecture of user plane 350 includes Layer 1 (L1) and Layer 2 (L2). The wireless protocol architecture for the first and second communication node devices in user plane 350 is largely the same as the corresponding layers and sublayers in control plane 300 for Physical Layer 351, PDCP sublayer 354 in L2 355, RLC sublayer 353 in L2 355, and MAC sublayer 352 in L2 355. However, PDCP sublayer 354 also provides header compression for upper-layer packets to reduce wireless transmission overhead. L2 355 in user plane 350 also includes SDAP (Service Data Adaptation Protocol) sublayer 356. SDAP sublayer 356 is responsible for mapping between QoS (Quality of Service) streams and Data Radio Bearers (DRBs) to support service diversity. Although not illustrated, the first communication node device may have several upper layers above L2355, including a network layer (e.g., 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., remote UE, server, etc.).

[0256] Example 4

[0257] Example 4 illustrates a schematic diagram of a first communication device and a second communication device according to an embodiment of this 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.

[0258] The first communication device 410 includes a controller / processor 475, a memory 476, a receiver processor 470, a transmitter processor 416, a multi-antenna receiver processor 472, a multi-antenna transmitter processor 471, a transmitter / receiver 418, and an antenna 420.

[0259] The second communication device 450 includes a controller / processor 459, a memory 460, a data source 467, a transmitting processor 468, a receiving processor 456, a multi-antenna transmitting processor 457, a multi-antenna receiving processor 458, a transmitter / receiver 454, and an antenna 452.

[0260] In the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, at the first communication device 410, upper-layer data packets from the core network are provided to the controller / processor 475. The controller / processor 475 implements L2 functionality. In the DL, 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 HARQ operation, 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 L1 (i.e., the physical layer). Transmit processor 416 performs encoding and interleaving to facilitate forward error correction (FEC) at the second communication device 450, and mapping of signal clusters based on various modulation schemes (e.g., Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), M-PSK, and M-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (M-QAM)). Multi-antenna transmit processor 471 performs digital spatial precoding on the encoded and modulated symbols, including codebook-based precoding and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming processing, generating one or more parallel streams. The transmit processor 416 then maps each parallel stream to a subcarrier, multiplexes the modulated symbols with a reference signal (e.g., a pilot) in the time and / or frequency domains, and then uses an inverse fast fourier transform (IFFT) to generate a physical channel carrying the time-domain multicarrier symbol stream. The multi-antenna transmit processor 471 then performs transmit analog precoding / beamforming operations on the time-domain multicarrier symbol stream. Each transmitter 418 converts the baseband multicarrier symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 into an RF stream, which is then provided to a different antenna 420.

[0261] In the 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 through its corresponding antenna 452. Each receiver 454 recovers the information modulated onto the radio frequency carrier and converts the radio frequency stream into a baseband multicarrier symbol stream, which is then provided to the receiver processor 456. The receiver processor 456 and the multi-antenna receiver processor 458 implement various L1 signal processing functions. The multi-antenna receiver processor 458 performs receive analog precoding / beamforming operations on the baseband multicarrier symbol stream from the receiver 454. The receiver processor 456 uses a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to convert the baseband multicarrier symbol stream after the receive analog precoding / beamforming operations from the time domain to the frequency domain. In the frequency domain, the physical layer data signal and the reference signal are demultiplexed by the receiver processor 456, where the reference signal is used for channel estimation, and the data signal is recovered in the multi-antenna receiver processor 458 after multi-antenna detection to recover any parallel stream destined for the second communication device 450. Symbols on each parallel stream are demodulated and recovered in the receive processor 456, generating soft decisions. The receive processor 456 then decodes and deinterleaves the soft decisions to recover the upper-layer data and control signals transmitted by the first communication device 410 over the physical channel. The upper-layer data and control signals are then provided to the controller / processor 459. The controller / processor 459 implements L2 functionality. The controller / processor 459 may be associated with a memory 460 storing program code and data. The memory 460 may be referred to as computer-readable media. In the DL, the controller / processor 459 provides multiplexing, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing between the transmission and logical channels to recover upper-layer packets from the core network. The upper-layer packets are then provided to all protocol layers above L2. Various control signals may also be provided to L3 for L3 processing. The controller / processor 459 is also responsible for error detection using ACK and / or NACK protocols to support HARQ operation.

[0262] In the transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, at the second communication device 450, a data source 467 is used to provide upper-layer data packets to the controller / processor 459. The data source 467 represents all protocol layers above L2. Similar to the transmission functions at the first communication device 410 described in the DL, the controller / processor 459 implements header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between logical and transport channels based on the radio resource allocation of the first communication device 410, implementing L2 functions for the user plane and control plane. The controller / processor 459 is also responsible for HARQ operations, retransmission of lost packets, and signaling to the first communication device 410. Transmit processor 468 performs modulation mapping and channel coding processing, while multi-antenna transmit processor 457 performs digital multi-antenna spatial precoding, including codebook-based and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming processing. Subsequently, transmit processor 468 modulates the generated parallel stream into a multi-carrier / single-carrier symbol stream. After analog precoding / beamforming operations in multi-antenna transmit processor 457, the stream is provided to different antennas 452 via transmitter 454. Each transmitter 454 first converts the baseband symbol stream provided by multi-antenna transmit processor 457 into a radio frequency symbol stream before providing it to antenna 452.

[0263] In the transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, the function at the first communication device 410 is similar to the receiving function at the second communication device 450 described in the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450. Each receiver 418 receives radio frequency signals through its corresponding antenna 420, converts the received radio frequency signals into baseband signals, and provides the baseband signals to the multi-antenna receiving processor 472 and the receiving processor 470. The receiving processor 470 and the multi-antenna receiving processor 472 jointly implement the L1 function. The controller / processor 475 implements the L2 function. The controller / processor 475 may be associated with a memory 476 storing program code and data. The memory 476 may be referred to as computer-readable media. The controller / processor 475 provides multiplexing, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing between the transmission and logical channels to recover upper-layer data packets from the second communication device 450. The upper-layer data packets from the controller / processor 475 may be provided to the core network. The controller / processor 475 is also responsible for error detection using ACK and / or NACK protocols to support HARQ operation.

[0428] In Example 10, the management of ML inference functions of multiple base stations is completed by the RAN domain management function 1002, that is, data interaction with the RAN domain MnS (Management Service) consumer / cross-domain management 1001 (as shown by the dashed arrow in Figure 10). The RAN domain ML training function 1003 is located in the RAN domain management function 1002; while the ML inference functions are located in the base stations, that is, the AI / ML inference function 1004 is located in gNB 1005, the AI / ML inference function 1006 is located in gNB 1007, and so on.

[0429] AI / ML related functions include ML training (also known as AI training or AI / ML training), ML testing, and ML inference (also known as AI inference or AI / ML inference), etc. ML training, ML testing, and ML inference functions can be deployed independently or co-located.

[0439] As an example, the UE function 1103 includes a RAN domain ML training function 1104, which runs training data through an ML model to obtain a relevant loss and adjusts the parameters of the ML model based on the calculated loss; the ML training includes at least one of ML initial training, ML re-training, and reinforcement learning.

[0440] The above embodiments can reduce the complexity of the base station, or save air interface resources caused by reporting training data; however, the above embodiments place higher demands on the processing capabilities of the UE side.

[0441] Optionally, the UE function 1103 also includes a CN domain ML training function (not shown in Figure 11).

[0442] Optionally, the UE function 1103 also includes an AI / ML deployment function—not shown in Figure 11—for loading ML models and data.

[0443] As an example, the first node indicates whether it supports ML training function (RAN domain or CN domain) through capability reporting. The capability reporting is RRC signaling or NAS (Non-Access Stratum) signaling.

[0444] As an example, the ML model and the associated metadata are loaded by the first node from a network device or a remote server.

[0445] Optionally, the UE function 1103 is an MnS producer that provides data to the CN domain MnF (Management Function) and / or the RAN domain MnF and / or the cross-domain management system 1101 for management or analysis (as shown by the double arrow 1102).

[0446] Optionally, the UE function 1103 is an MnS consumer that loads data from the CN domain MnF and / or RAN domain MnF and / or cross-domain management system 1101 for AI / ML-related management, such as managing data requests, ML model activation, and / or ML training (as shown by double arrow 1102).
