Description
A method and apparatus for a communication node used in wireless communication
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411180642.4, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on August 26, 2024, entitled "A Method and Apparatus in a Communication Node for Wireless Communication", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This application relates to transmission methods and apparatus in wireless communication systems, and more particularly to transmission schemes and apparatus with flexible transmission direction configurations in wireless communication. Background Technology
[0003] The application scenarios of future wireless communication systems are becoming increasingly diversified, and different application scenarios place different performance requirements on the system. To meet the diverse performance needs of various application scenarios, the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partner Project) RAN (Radio Access Network) #72 plenary meeting decided to conduct research on New Radio (NR) technology (or 5G). The 3GPP RAN #75 plenary meeting approved the NR (New Radio) technology WI (Work Item), initiating standardization work for NR. The 3GPP RAN #86 plenary meeting decided to begin work on the NR Rel-17 SI (Study Item) and WI (Work Item), and the 3GPP RAN #94e plenary meeting initiated the NR Rel-18 SI and WI projects. The 3GPP RAN #102 plenary meeting decided to begin work on the NR Rel-19 SI and WI.
[0004] NR Rel-19 includes support for Subband Non-Overlapping Full Duplex (SBFD). SBFD is also one of the technologies that 6G may support. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In existing NR systems, spectrum resources are statically divided into FDD and TDD spectrum. For TDD spectrum, both base stations and user equipment operate in half-duplex mode. This half-duplex mode avoids self-interference and mitigates cross-link interference, but it also leads to decreased resource utilization and increased latency. To address these issues, supporting flexible duplex modes on either TDD or FDD spectrum becomes a possible solution.
[0006] This application discloses a solution to the problem of random access configuration in supporting flexible duplex modes. It should be noted that the description in this application uses flexible duplex mode as only a typical application scenario or example; this application is also applicable to 6G networks or other scenarios facing similar problems (e.g., scenarios where link direction changes, or other scenarios supporting multi-level configuration of transmission directions, or scenarios with more capable base stations or user equipment, such as scenarios supporting full-duplex on the same frequency), or for different application scenarios, such as eMBB, URLLC, non-terrestrial networks, inductively coupled networks, smart metasurfaces, and terahertz networks, achieving similar technical effects. Furthermore, using a unified solution for different scenarios (including but not limited to eMBB, URLLC, non-terrestrial networks, inductively coupled networks, smart metasurfaces, and terahertz networks) or different application parameters helps reduce hardware complexity and cost.

[0321] Example 3
[0322] 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.
[0323] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment of the radio protocol architecture for the user plane 350 and the control plane 300. Figure 3 shows the radio protocol architecture for the control plane 300, 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 sits above PHY 301 and is responsible for the link between the terminal and the base station, or between two UEs, via 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 base station. The PDCP sublayer 304 provides multiplexing between different radio bearers and logical channels. It also provides security through encrypted data packets and supports inter-base station mobility for terminals. 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 process number). The MAC sublayer 302 provides multiplexing between logical and transport channels. It is also responsible for allocating various radio resources (e.g., resource blocks) within a cell among terminals. Furthermore, the MAC sublayer 302 handles 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 base station and the terminal to configure the lower layer.The radio protocol architecture of user plane 350 includes Layer 1 (L1) and Layer 2 (L2). The radio protocol architecture for terminals and base stations 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 radio 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 Bearer (DRB) to support service diversity. Although not illustrated, the terminal may have several upper layers above L2 355, 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.).

[0334] Example 4
[0335] Example 4 illustrates a schematic diagram of a terminal and a base station according to an embodiment of this application, as shown in Figure 4.
[0336] The terminal (450) may include a controller / processor 490, a data source / buffer 480, a receiver processor 452, a transmitter / receiver 456 and a transmitter processor 455, wherein the transmitter / receiver 456 includes an antenna 460.
[0337] The base station (410) may include a controller / processor 440, a data source / buffer 430, a receiver processor 412, a transmitter / receiver 416 and a transmitter processor 415, the transmitter / receiver 416 including an antenna 420.
[0338] In the DL (Downlink), upper-layer packets are provided to the controller / processor 440. The controller / processor 440 implements the functions of Layer 2 and above. In the DL, the controller / processor 440 provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, multiplexing between logical and transport channels, and radio resource allocation to the terminal 450 based on various priority metrics. The controller / processor 440 is also responsible for HARQ operation, retransmission of lost packets, and higher-layer signaling to the terminal 450. The higher-layer information carried by the first information block, second information block, third information block, and first SSB (when the first SSB carries higher-layer information) in this application is generated by the controller / processor 440. Transmit processor 415 implements various signal processing functions for the L1 layer (i.e., the physical layer), including encoding, interleaving, scrambling, modulation, power control / distribution, precoding, and physical layer control signaling generation. For example, physical layer signals carrying a first information block, physical layer signals carrying a second information block, physical layer signals carrying a third information block, and the first SSB are generated in transmit processor 415. The generated modulation symbols are divided into parallel streams, and each stream is mapped to a corresponding multicarrier subcarrier and / or multicarrier symbol. These are then mapped by transmit processor 415 to antenna 420 via transmitter 416 and transmitted as radio frequency signals. At the receiving end, each receiver 456 receives the radio frequency signal through its corresponding antenna 460. Each receiver 456 recovers the baseband information modulated onto the radio frequency carrier and provides the baseband information to receiver processor 452. Receiver processor 452 implements various signal reception processing functions for the L1 layer. The signal reception and processing function includes demodulating the physical layer signal carrying the first information block, the physical layer signal carrying the second information block, the physical layer signal carrying the third information block, and the first SSB using multi-carrier symbols in the multi-carrier symbol stream based on various modulation schemes (e.g., Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK)). Subsequently, it performs descrambling, decoding, and deinterleaving to recover the data or control transmitted by the base station 410 on the physical channel. The data and control signals are then provided to the controller / processor 490. The controller / processor 490 is responsible for Layer 2 and above, and it interprets higher-layer information. This includes interpreting the higher-layer information carried by the first information block, the second information block, the third information block, and the first SSB (when the first SSB carries higher-layer information). The controller / processor may be associated with a memory 480 that stores program code and data. The memory 480 may be referred to as computer-readable media.
[0339] In uplink (UL) transmission, similar to downlink transmission, the higher-layer information, including the first PRACH (when the first PRACH carries higher-layer information), the first PUSCH (when the first PUSCH carries higher-layer information), the first capability parameter (when the first capability parameter carries higher-layer information), and the second capability parameter (when the second capability parameter carries higher-layer information), is generated by the controller / processor 490 and then processed by the transmitter processor 455 for various signal transmission processing functions for the L1 layer (i.e., physical layer). The first PRACH, the first PUSCH, the first capability parameter, and the second capability parameter are mapped by the transmitter processor 455 to the antenna 460 and transmitted as radio frequency signals. The receiver 416 receives the radio frequency signals through its corresponding antenna 420. Each receiver 416 recovers the baseband information modulated onto the radio frequency carrier and provides the baseband information to the receiver processor 412. The receiver processor 412 implements various signal reception processing functions for the L1 layer (i.e., the physical layer), including receiving and processing the first PRACH, first PUSCH, first capability parameter, and second capability parameter as described in this application, and subsequently providing data and / or control signals to the controller / processor 440. The controller / processor 440 implements L2 layer functions, including interpreting higher-layer information such as the higher-layer information carried by the first PRACH (when the first signal carries higher-layer information), the first PUSCH (when the first PUSCH carries higher-layer information), the first capability parameter (when the first capability parameter carries higher-layer information), and the second capability parameter (when the second capability parameter carries higher-layer information). The controller / processor may be associated with a buffer 430 that stores program code and data. The buffer 430 may be a computer-readable medium.
