Description

Information processing method and device and readable storage medium

[0001] The present disclosure claims priority to a Chinese patent application No. 202411090931.5, filed on August 9, 2024, and entitled "Information processing method and device and readable storage medium", the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information processing method, device and readable storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0003] In order to improve the estimation accuracy of cross interference between base stations, for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), related technologies agree not to send any uplink signal at certain resource element (RE) positions, i.e., uplink muting (UL muting). These RE positions where no uplink signal is sent are referred to as UL muting patterns.

[0004] In related technologies, the UL muting pattern can be configured through radio resource control (RRC) signaling. Since the configuration parameters of different PUSCHs and the interference levels are different, considering the resource overhead caused by the UL muting pattern, how a terminal determines whether to perform UL muting for a certain PUSCH is a technical problem to be solved.

[0183] The method and the device are based on the same application concept, and the device and the method can be referred to each other for implementation because the principles of solving problems are similar, and the repeated parts will not be described again.

[0184] Referring to FIG. 1, which is a flowchart of an information processing method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method is applied to a terminal, and as shown in FIG. 1, the method includes the following steps:

[0185] In step 101, first information is determined.

[0186] The first information includes at least one of the following:

[0187] A decision threshold configured by a network device (such as a base station) or a decision threshold specified by a protocol;

[0188] Information borne by the PUSCH transmission;

[0189] Uplink muting indication information.

[0190] The decision threshold includes any of the following:

[0191] A threshold of an MCS value or a modulation order; a threshold of an RB offset value; a threshold of a code rate value; a threshold of a number of RBs or a number of symbols.

[0192] The information borne by the PUSCH transmission mainly refers to whether the PUSCH bears UCI.

[0193] The uplink muting indication is used to indicate whether the PUSCH performs uplink muting indication information.

[0194] Therefore, the first information described above can be configured by a network device or agreed by a protocol, or determined by a terminal according to information borne by a PUSCH transmission of the terminal, or determined according to an indication of the network device.

[0195] In step 102, whether the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting is determined according to the first information.

[0196] In this step, the terminal can determine whether the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting in different ways according to different contents included in the first information.

[0197] 1. The first information includes a decision threshold configured by a network device or a decision threshold specified by a protocol, and the decision threshold includes a first threshold, which includes a threshold of an MCS value or a modulation order, or a threshold of a code rate value.

[0198] In this case, the terminal compares the first information corresponding to the PUSCH transmission with the first threshold to obtain a first comparison result. If the first comparison result is the first case, the terminal determines that the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting; if the first comparison result is the second case, the terminal determines that the PUSCH transmission does not perform uplink muting; and if the first comparison result is the third case, the terminal determines that the PUSCH transmission performs or does not perform uplink muting.

[0199] If the first information includes the MCS value or the modulation order corresponding to the PUSCH transmission, the first threshold is a threshold of the MCS value or the modulation order, or if the first information includes the code rate value corresponding to the PUSCH transmission, the first threshold is a threshold of the code rate value. If the first case is that the first information corresponding to the PUSCH transmission is greater than the first threshold, the second case is that the first information corresponding to the PUSCH transmission is less than the first threshold; or the first case is that the first information corresponding to the PUSCH transmission is less than the first threshold, and the second case is that the first information corresponding to the PUSCH transmission is greater than the first threshold; and the third case is that the first information corresponding to the PUSCH transmission is equal to the first threshold. Specifically,

[0200] 1.1 The first threshold includes a threshold of the MCS value or the modulation order, and the first information includes the MCS value or the modulation order corresponding to the PUSCH transmission.

[0201] The MCS value corresponding to the PUSCH transmission is indicated by the network device to the terminal, and the modulation order corresponding to the PUSCH transmission is determined by the terminal according to the MCS value corresponding to the PUSCH transmission indicated by the network device. In this case, there are two ways to determine whether the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting:

[0202] 1.1.1 If the MCS value or the modulation order corresponding to the PUSCH transmission is greater than the threshold of the MCS value or the modulation order, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting, otherwise, it does not perform uplink muting.

[0203] For example, considering that low MCS or low modulation order has a higher requirement for the accuracy of channel estimation than high-order modulation, that is, the gain of improving channel estimation accuracy on the demodulation performance of low modulation order is relatively small, and considering the resource overhead caused by UL muting (uplink muting), it is not cost-effective for the system to perform uplink muting at low modulation order. Therefore, the terminal does not perform uplink muting when the MCS value / low modulation order value is low.

[0204] Alternatively, 1.1.2, if the MCS value or modulation order corresponding to the PUSCH transmission is less than a threshold of MCS value or modulation order, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting, otherwise, it does not perform uplink muting.

[0205] For example, the uplink muting has a greater impact on the code rate of the PUSCH with high MCS / high modulation order than that of the PUSCH with low MCS / low modulation order, and therefore, the terminal does not perform uplink muting when the MCS is high / high modulation order.

[0206] In the above two cases, for the MCS value or modulation order corresponding to the PUSCH transmission being equal to a threshold of MCS value or modulation order, it can be determined (for example, according to a protocol agreement, etc.) that the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting or does not perform uplink muting.

[0207] 1.2, the first threshold is a threshold of code rate value, and the first information includes a code rate value corresponding to the PUSCH transmission:

[0208] 1.2.1, if the code rate value corresponding to the PUSCH transmission is greater than a threshold of code rate value, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting, otherwise, it does not perform uplink muting.

[0209] Alternatively, 1.2.2, if the code rate value corresponding to the PUSCH transmission is less than a threshold of code rate value, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting, otherwise, it does not perform uplink muting.

[0210] For example, the uplink muting has a greater impact on the code rate of the PUSCH with high code rate than that of the PUSCH with low code rate, and therefore, the terminal does not perform uplink muting when the code rate is high.

[0211] The code rate value corresponding to the PUSCH transmission can be a code rate configured by the network device or an actual code rate of the PUSCH transmission (excluding resource elements (REs) occupied by demodulation reference signals (DMRSs), phase tracking reference signals (PT-RSs), and / or uplink muting patterns (UL muting patterns) by the terminal).

[0212] In the above two cases, for the code rate value corresponding to the PUSCH transmission being equal to a threshold of code rate value, it can be determined that the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting or does not perform uplink muting.

[0213] 2. The first information comprises a decision threshold configured by a network device or a decision threshold specified by a protocol, and the decision threshold comprises a threshold of a block RB offset value.

[0214] In this step, if an offset between the first boundary of the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PUSCH transmission and the third boundary of the sub-band is less than the decision threshold, and / or if an offset between the second boundary of the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PUSCH transmission and the fourth boundary of the sub-band is less than the decision threshold, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission does not perform uplink muting; if the offset between the first boundary of the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PUSCH transmission and the third boundary of the sub-band is greater than the decision threshold, and / or if the offset between the second boundary of the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PUSCH transmission and the fourth boundary of the sub-band is greater than the decision threshold, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting; if the offset between the first boundary of the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PUSCH transmission and the third boundary of the sub-band is equal to the decision threshold, and / or if the offset between the second boundary of the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PUSCH transmission and the fourth boundary of the sub-band is equal to the decision threshold, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission performs or does not perform uplink muting.

[0215] The frequency domain resource corresponding to the PUSCH transmission comprises the first boundary and the second boundary, and the sub-band comprises the third boundary and the fourth boundary; the frequency domain position of the first boundary is lower than the frequency domain position of the second boundary, and the frequency domain position of the third boundary is lower than the frequency domain position of the fourth boundary, or the frequency domain position of the first boundary is higher than the frequency domain position of the second boundary, and the frequency domain position of the third boundary is higher than the frequency domain position of the fourth boundary.

[0216] Specifically, the offset between the first boundary of the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PUSCH transmission and the third boundary of the sub-band is less than the decision threshold, and / or the offset between the second boundary of the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PUSCH transmission and the fourth boundary of the sub-band is less than the decision threshold, comprises:

[0217] The difference between the minimum value of the CRB index of the PUSCH transmission allocated by the network device and the minimum value of the CRB index of the uplink sub-band is less than the decision threshold; and / or the difference between the maximum value of the CRB index of the PUSCH transmission allocated by the network device and the maximum value of the CRB index of the uplink sub-band is less than the decision threshold.

[0218] Specifically, the offset between the first boundary of the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PUSCH transmission and the third boundary of the sub-band is greater than the decision threshold, and / or the offset between the second boundary of the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PUSCH transmission and the fourth boundary of the sub-band is greater than the decision threshold, comprises:

[0219] The difference between the minimum value of the CRB index of the PUSCH transmission allocated by the network device and the minimum value of the CRB index where the uplink subband is located is greater than the decision threshold; and / or, the difference between the maximum value of the CRB index of the PUSCH transmission allocated by the network device and the maximum value of the CRB index where the uplink subband is located is greater than the decision threshold.

[0220] Specifically, the offset between the first boundary of the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PUSCH transmission and the third boundary of the subband is equal to the decision threshold, and / or, the offset between the second boundary of the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PUSCH transmission and the fourth boundary of the subband is equal to the decision threshold, including:

[0221] The difference between the minimum value of the CRB index of the PUSCH transmission allocated by the network device and the minimum value of the CRB index where the uplink subband is located is equal to the decision threshold; and / or, the difference between the maximum value of the CRB index of the PUSCH transmission allocated by the network device and the maximum value of the CRB index where the uplink subband is located is equal to the decision threshold.

[0222] Wherein, the "and" corresponds to the scenario that the UL subband is located in the middle of two DL subbands, because both sides (low frequency position and high frequency position) of the UL subband can have downlink transmission, at this time both boundaries need to meet the threshold; the "or" corresponds to the scenario that there is only 1 DL subband and 1 UL subband, which can be that the UL subband is on top (high frequency position) and the downlink subband is below (low frequency position), or vice versa, in which case the UL subband has only one boundary adjacent to the DL subband, and only one boundary needs to meet the threshold. In addition, "or" can also be used in the scenario that the UL subband is located in the middle of two DL subbands, for example, if the offset between the first boundary of the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PUSCH transmission and the third boundary of the subband is less than the decision threshold, or if the offset between the second boundary of the frequency domain resource corresponding to the PUSCH transmission and the fourth boundary of the subband is less than the decision threshold, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission does not perform uplink muting, that is, as long as one boundary does not meet the threshold, uplink muting is not performed.

[0223] For example, considering that in a position far from the uplink subband, the terminal does not perform uplink muting because the cross interference between network devices to network devices is small.

[0224] 3. The first information includes a decision threshold configured by the network device or a decision threshold specified by a protocol, and the decision threshold includes a threshold of RB number or symbol number.

[0225] If the number of RBs or the number of symbols corresponding to the PUSCH transmission is less than the decision threshold, the terminal determines that the PUSCH transmission does not perform uplink muting; if the number of RBs or the number of symbols corresponding to the PUSCH transmission is greater than the decision threshold, the terminal determines that the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting; if the number of RBs or the number of symbols corresponding to the PUSCH transmission is equal to the decision threshold, the terminal determines that the PUSCH transmission performs or does not perform uplink muting.

[0226] The number of RBs or the number of symbols corresponding to the PUSCH transmission includes the number of RBs or the number of symbols allocated to the PUSCH transmission by the network device.

[0227] 4. The first information includes information carried by the PUSCH transmission:

[0228] In this case, if the PUSCH carries UCI, it is determined according to the protocol that the PUSCH transmission performs or does not perform uplink muting. For example, the protocol stipulates that the PUSCH carries UCI, and the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting, and the terminal determines that the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting. Conversely, the same is true. The PUSCH carries UCI includes that the network device directly indicates that the PUSCH carries UCI, and / or UCI is multiplexed into the PUSCH due to conflict or other reasons.

[0229] The above cases are applicable to dynamic scheduling, dynamic triggering, and / or semi-static configuration transmission (including Type 1 CG PUSCH (Type 1 Configured Grant (CG) PUSCH) and Type 2 CG PUSCH.

[0230] In the above cases 1-4, the terminal can determine whether the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting according to one or more of the above decision conditions. If the terminal determines according to multiple conditions, it needs to determine that uplink muting is performed according to multiple decision conditions, and the terminal determines that the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting.

[0231] For example, the UE determines whether to perform uplink muting according to condition 1.1.1 and condition 3, and if the above two conditions are met, the terminal determines to perform uplink muting, otherwise determines not to perform uplink muting. Among them, condition 1.1.1 and condition 1.1.2, condition 1.2.1 and condition 1.2.2 are not used at the same time. Through the above scheme, better system gain can be obtained.

[0232] 5、If the first information includes uplink muting indication information, the uplink muting indication information can be carried by any of the following: the CSI request field of DCI; the TDRA field of DCI; the FDRA field of DCI; RRC configuration information; and the SRI field.

[0233] 5.1 The uplink muting indication information is carried by the CSI request field (for example, the Channel State Information Field) of DCI. In this case:

[0234] If the CSI request field is all 0, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting; if the CSI request field is not all 0, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission does not perform uplink muting. Alternatively, if the CSI request field is all 0, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission does not perform uplink muting; if the CSI request field is not all 0, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting.

[0235] Considering that the improvement of UL muting on code rate will deteriorate demodulation performance, for PUSCH that transmits A-CSI (Aperiodic CSI), it is more important than PUSCH that does not transmit A-CSI, at this time, the terminal can not perform UL muting; for PUSCH that does not transmit A-CSI, the terminal can perform UL muting. Considering that the improvement of UL muting on channel estimation performance, in order to improve demodulation performance, for PUSCH that transmits A-CSI, it is more important than PUSCH that does not transmit A-CSI, for PUSCH that transmits A-CSI, the terminal performs UL muting; for PUSCH that does not transmit A-CSI, the terminal does not perform UL muting.

[0236] Alternatively, if the CSI request field is all 1, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting; if the CSI request field is all 0, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission does not perform uplink muting. Alternatively, if the CSI request field is all 1, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission does not perform uplink muting; if the CSI request field is all 0, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting.

[0237] In this case, the all-ones CSI state is configured by the network device to ensure that it is not used to trigger any A-CSI reporting, but is only used to indicate uplink muting information. That is, when the CSI request field is all-ones, the terminal transmits PUSCH and performs UL muting; when the CSI request field is all-zeros, the terminal transmits PUSCH and does not perform UL muting, and vice versa. Considering that the terminal cannot determine whether to perform UL muting when the network device triggers A-CSI, the behavior of the terminal at this time can be predefined. For example, if the CSI request field is not all-zeros and not all-ones, the terminal determines whether the PUSCH transmission performs or does not perform uplink muting according to the protocol.

[0238] 5.2 The uplink muting indication information is carried by the FDRA field of the DCI. In this case:

[0239] If the PUSCH is configured as Type 0 frequency domain resource allocation type, and the bit corresponding to the downlink DL sub-band in the FDRA field is indicated as a predefined state (such as all-ones or all-zeros), it is determined whether the PUSCH transmission performs or does not perform uplink muting; or

[0240] If the PUSCH is configured as Type 1 frequency domain resource allocation type, according to the target bit of the FDRA field (such as the highest bit or the lowest bit of the FDRA field) or the target state (such as all-ones or all-zeros) indicated by the FDRA field, it is determined whether the PUSCH transmission performs or does not perform uplink muting.

[0241] 5.3 The uplink muting indication information is carried by the TDRA field of the DCI. In this case:

[0242] According to the information indicated by the TDRA field, it is determined whether the PUSCH transmission performs or does not perform uplink muting, wherein the information includes time domain resource allocation information and a first indication, and the first indication is used to indicate whether to perform uplink muting; or

[0243] According to the target bit of the TDRA field (such as the highest bit or the lowest bit of the TDRA field), it is determined whether the PUSCH transmission performs or does not perform uplink muting; or, according to the target state (such as all-ones or all-zeros) indicated by the TDRA field, it is determined whether the PUSCH transmission performs or does not perform uplink muting.

[0244] For example, when multiple time domain resource allocation information is semi-statically configured by RRC signaling, each of the multiple time domain resource allocation information can indicate whether to perform uplink muting. The terminal determines one of the multiple time domain resource allocation information according to the value indicated by the TDRA field (since one PUSCH corresponds to one value indicated by the TDRA, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission is determined), and since each of the time domain resource allocation information has a corresponding first indication to indicate whether to perform uplink muting, the terminal can determine the time domain resource allocation information and whether to perform UL muting according to the value indicated by the TDRA field at the same time. In some embodiments, whether to perform uplink muting can also be determined by the presence or absence of the first indication information, for example, if the first indication information is included, the terminal determines to perform uplink muting, and if the first indication information is not included, the terminal determines not to perform uplink muting; or if the first indication information is included, the terminal determines not to perform uplink muting, and if the first indication information is not included, the terminal determines to perform uplink muting.

[0245] For example, if it is determined to perform uplink muting according to the target bit of the TDRA field, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting; if it is determined not to perform uplink muting according to the target bit of the TDRA field, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission does not perform uplink muting.

[0246] For example, if it is determined to perform uplink muting according to the target state of the TDRA field, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting; if it is determined not to perform uplink muting according to the target state of the TDRA field, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission does not perform uplink muting.

[0247] 5.4 The first information includes uplink muting indication information, which is carried by RRC configuration information, and the uplink muting indication information is configured according to the terminal or according to the PUSCH transmission. In this case:

[0248] According to the uplink muting indication information corresponding to the PUSCH transmission, it is determined whether the PUSCH transmission performs or does not perform uplink muting.

[0249] For example, if it is determined to perform uplink muting according to the RRC configuration information corresponding to the PUSCH transmission, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting; if it is determined not to perform uplink muting according to the RRC configuration information corresponding to the PUSCH transmission, it is determined that the PUSCH transmission does not perform uplink muting.

[0250] In some embodiments, the network device can configure the UE per UE to perform or not perform uplink muting by RRC information. For example, the indication information of performing or not performing uplink muting is valid for all or part of PUSCH transmission of the UE, for example, valid for dynamically configured / triggered transmission and semi-statically configured transmission, or only valid for semi-statically configured PUSCH transmission.

[0251] In some embodiments, the network device configures the UE to perform or not perform uplink muting on a per-PUSCH transmission basis by RRC information. For example, for configured transmission (Type 1 CG and Type 2 CG), the network device configures the UE to perform or not perform uplink muting on a per-PUSCH transmission basis by RRC information.

[0252] 5.5 The first information includes: uplink muting indication information, the uplink muting indication information is indicated by the SRI field.

[0253] In this case, the uplink muting indication information is indirectly indicated by the SRI field. The terminal can obtain the first SRI field configured by the network device, and if the first SRI field is the same as the second SRI, it is determined to perform or not perform uplink muting, wherein the second SRI is the SRI of the PUSCH indicated by the network device, and the first SRI field is used to indicate whether to perform or not perform uplink muting.

[0254] For example, the network device configures the SRI to perform or not perform UL muting. If the SRI of the PUSCH indicated by the network device is the same as the SRI configured by the network device to perform or not perform UL muting, the terminal performs or not performs UL muting; if the SRI of the PUSCH indicated by the network device is different from the SRI configured by the network device to perform or not perform UL muting, the terminal does not perform or performs UL muting.

[0255] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned case 5 is applicable to dynamically scheduled transmission, CG type 2 PUSCH, the first time of transmitting semi-persistent CSI (SP-CSI) PUSCH and / or transmitting SP-CSI PUSCH. In the above-mentioned manner of case 5, the terminal can flexibly determine whether to perform UL muting according to the indication of the network device.

[0256] In some embodiments, if the terminal receives the uplink muting indication information, the terminal can determine whether to perform or not to perform uplink muting in the manner in 5; otherwise, the terminal can determine whether to perform or not to perform uplink muting in any one or more of the manners in 1-4. That is, the terminal determines whether to adopt the manner in 5 or the manner in 1-4 to determine whether to perform or not to perform uplink muting according to whether the uplink muting indication information is received.

[0257] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal can determine whether the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting according to the first information, thereby improving system performance.

[0258] In some embodiments, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal can further receive PUSCH configuration information, and the configuration information includes MCS information, frequency domain resource location information, time domain resource information, Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) information, Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PT-RS) information, and / or UL muting pattern information. The frequency domain resource location information indicates RB location information corresponding to the PUSCH, the time domain resource information is used to indicate symbol number information corresponding to the PUSCH, the DMRS information is used to indicate RE resources occupied by the DMRS, the PT-RS information is used to indicate RE resource information occupied by the PT-RS, and the UL muting pattern information is used to indicate RE resource information occupied by the UL muting pattern.

[0259] Correspondingly, the terminal can determine whether the PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting according to the PUSCH configuration information and the above-mentioned decision threshold.

[0260] Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an information processing method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, applied to a network device, as shown in FIG. 2, the method includes the following steps:

[0261] Step 201, sending first information to a terminal, wherein the first information is used to determine whether a PUSCH transmission performs uplink muting;
