Description

A method and apparatus for wireless communication

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411515044.8, filed on October 28, 2024, entitled "A Method and Apparatus for Wireless Communication", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to methods and apparatus in wireless communication systems, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for LBT (Listen Before Talk) operations 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. In order to meet the different performance requirements 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) (or 5G). At the 3GPP RAN #75 plenary meeting, the WI (Work Item) for New Radio (NR) was adopted, and the standardization work for NR began.

[0004] In shared spectrum wireless communication, the transmitter needs to perform channel sensing or LBT (Listen Before Talk) before transmitting to prevent interference with other communication devices. Furthermore, channel sensing can be performed per channel or per set of RBs (Resource Blocks) to maintain good compatibility.

[0005] Full Duplex (FD) can significantly improve spectrum efficiency and has thus become a research hotspot. NR Rel-19 includes WI that supports Subband Non-overlapping Full Duplex (SBFD), which is also one of the technologies that 6G may support. Summary of the Invention

[0006] For LBT in SBFD scenarios, existing LBT operations may no longer be applicable. This application discloses a solution. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be arbitrarily combined. Furthermore, although this application is initially intended for the Uu air interface, it can also be used for the PC5 interface. Furthermore, although this application is initially intended for SBFD scenarios, it is also applicable to other non-SBFD scenarios facing similar problems, achieving similar technical effects. In addition, adopting a unified solution for different scenarios helps reduce hardware complexity or improve compatibility. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in any node of this application can be applied to any other node. In particular, the explanations of terms, nouns, functions, and variables in this application (unless otherwise specified) can refer to the definitions in the 3GPP specification protocols TS36, TS38, and TS37 series.

[0195] As an example, the first counter is used to accumulate the number of LBT failures on all uplink BWPs configured on the SpCell.

[0196] As an example, the first threshold is lbt-FailureInstanceMaxCount (maximum count of failed LBT instances).

[0197] As an example, the first threshold is configured by the network.

[0198] As an example, the SpCell is configured with lbt-FailureRecoveryConfig (LBT Failure Recovery Configuration).

[0199] As an example, the lbt-FailureRecoveryConfig configures the first threshold.

[0200] As one embodiment, the first threshold is configured by the first information block set.

[0201] As an example, the first threshold is predefined.

[0202] As an example, the first threshold is 1.

[0203] As an example, the first threshold is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0204] As an example, the first counter is initially set to 0.

[0205] As an example, the initial state is when the first sub-band is configured.

[0206] As an example, in response to receiving the LBT failure indication, a consistent LBT failure is triggered for the active uplink BWP of the SpCell; wherein the value of the first counter is greater than or equal to the first threshold.

[0207] As an example, multiple uplink BWPs are configured on the SpCell.

[0208] As an example, the active uplink BWP is one of the plurality of uplink BWPs configured on the SpCell.

[0209] As an example, all uplink BWPs configured on the SpCell except for the active uplink BWP are deactivated.

[0210] As an example, the active uplink BWP is the initial BWP.

[0211] As an example, the active uplink BWP is the default BWP.

[0212] As an example, the active uplink BWP is not a dormant BWP.

[0213] As an example, the active uplink BWP does not include the first subband.

[0214] As an example, in response to a consistent LBT failure triggered for the active uplink BWP of the SpCell, the active uplink BWP of the SpCell is switched to a first uplink BWP; wherein a consistent LBT failure for the first uplink BWP is not triggered.

[0215] As an example, the active uplink BWP switching of the SpCell is controlled by the MAC entity of the first node.

[0216] As an example, stop any random access procedure that is in progress on the SpCell.

[0217] As an example, the first uplink BWP and the active uplink BWP are both located in the same carrier corresponding to the SpCell.

[0218] As an example, the first uplink BWP and the active uplink BWP are configured by the same ServingCellConfig.

[0219] As an example, the same carrier is the carrier configured for the SpCell.

[0220] As one example, the same carrier is the shared spectrum configured for the SpCell.

[0221] As an example, the same carrier corresponding to the SpCell includes the plurality of uplink BWPs.

[0222] As an example, at least one of the multiple uplink BWPs included on the same carrier corresponding to the SpCell is not triggered with a consistent LBT failure.

[0223] As an example, the first uplink BWP is activated when the active uplink BWP of the SpCell is switched to the first uplink BWP.

[0224] As an example, the first uplink BWP and the active uplink BWP have at least some frequency resources that do not overlap.

[0225] As one embodiment, the first uplink BWP and the active uplink BWP each include a plurality of consecutive RBs.

[0226] As an example, the first subband and the active uplink BWP are both located on the same carrier corresponding to the SpCell.

[0227] As an example, a consistent LBT failure for the first uplink BWP was not triggered.

[0228] As an example, the first uplink BWP relies on the random access opportunity configured in the first subband on the SBFD symbol.

[0229] As an example, the determination of the first uplink BWP depends on the time-domain location of the random access opportunity in the first subband configured on the SBFD symbol.

[0230] As an example, the determination of the first uplink BWP depends on the frequency domain location of the random access opportunity in the first subband configured on the SBFD symbol.

[0231] As an example, the determination of the first uplink BWP depends on the frequency domain location of the random access opportunity in the first subband configured on the SBFD symbol, which is implemented based on the UE.

[0232] As an example, the active uplink BWP of the SpCell is switched to the first uplink BWP; wherein the random access opportunity in the first subband configured on the SBFD symbol overlaps with the first uplink BWP in the frequency domain.

[0233] As an example, the active uplink BWP of the SpCell is switched to the first uplink BWP; wherein the random access opportunity in the first subband configured on the SBFD symbol does not overlap with the first uplink BWP in the frequency domain.

[0234] As an example, the first uplink BWP is configured with legacy random access opportunities (ROs).

[0235] As an example, the determination of the first uplink BWP depends on the absence of a consistent LBT failure in the first uplink BWP.

[0236] As an example, after the active uplink BWP of the SpCell is switched, the first uplink BWP becomes the active uplink BWP of the SpCell.

[0237] As an example, a BWP is indicated by a BWP identifier (BWP-ID).

[0238] As an example, the downlink BWP of the SpCell and the first uplink BWP form a BWP pair; wherein the SpCell operates in TDD mode.

[0239] As an example, the downlink BWP of the SpCell has the same BWP identifier as the first uplink BWP; wherein the SpCell operates in TDD mode.

[0240] As an example, the active uplink BWP of the SpCell has a different BWP identifier from the first uplink BWP; wherein the SpCell operates in FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) mode.

[0241] As an example, in a TDD scenario, a BWP pair includes a downlink BWP and an uplink BWP, wherein the downlink BWP and the uplink BWP have the same BWP identifier; the uplink BWP and the downlink BWP switch simultaneously.

[0242] As an example, when the active uplink BWP of the SpCell switches to the first uplink BWP, the downlink BWP with the same BWP identifier as the active uplink BWP of the SpCell switches to the first downlink BWP, and the first downlink BWP has the same BWP identifier as the first uplink BWP.

[0243] As an example, in an FDD scenario, a downlink BWP and an uplink BWP are independent of each other, including: the BWP identifier of the downlink BWP and the BWP identifier of the uplink BWP are configured separately; the switching of the uplink BWP and the switching of the downlink BWP are unrelated.

[0244] As an example, when the active uplink BWP of the SpCell switches to the first uplink BWP, the active downlink BWP of the SpCell does not switch.

[0266] Example 3

[0267] Example 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of the wireless protocol architecture for the user plane and control plane according to an embodiment of this application, as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment of the wireless protocol architecture for the user plane 350 and control plane 300. Figure 3 shows the wireless protocol architecture of the control plane 300 of the UE and gNB using three layers: Layer 1, Layer 2, and Layer 3. Layer 1 (L1 layer) is the lowest layer and implements various PHY (Physical Layer) signal processing functions. The L1 layer will be referred to herein as PHY 301. Layer 2 (L2 layer) 305 is above PHY 301 and is responsible for the link between the UE and gNB through PHY 301. L2 layer 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 gNB on the network side. The PDCP sublayer 304 provides data encryption and integrity protection, and also supports inter-gNB mobility for UEs. The RLC sublayer 303 provides packet segmentation and reassembly, and implements retransmission of lost packets through ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request). The RLC sublayer 303 also provides duplicate packet detection and protocol error detection. The MAC sublayer 302 provides mapping between logical channels and transport channels, and multiplexing of logical channels. The MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for allocating various radio resources (e.g., resource blocks) within a cell among UEs. The MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request) operations. Although not illustrated, the UE's control plane 300 may also have a V2X layer above the RRC sublayer 306. The V2X layer is responsible for generating PC5 QoS parameter sets and QoS rules based on the received service data or service requests. It generates a PC5 QoS flow corresponding to the PC5 QoS parameter set and sends the PC5 QoS flow identifier and the corresponding PC5 QoS parameter set to the AS (Access Stratum) layer for the AS layer to perform QoS processing on data packets belonging to the PC5 QoS flow identifier. The V2X layer also includes a PC5-S Signaling Protocol sublayer, which is responsible for indicating to the AS layer whether each transmission is a PC5-S transmission or a V2X service data transmission.In the control plane 300, the RRC (Radio Resource Control) sublayer 306 in Layer 3 (L3) is responsible for acquiring radio resources (i.e., radio bearers) and configuring the lower layers using RRC signaling between the gNB and the UE. The user plane 350's radio protocol architecture includes Layer 1 (L1) and Layer 2 (L2). The radio protocol architecture in the user plane 350 is largely the same as the corresponding layers and sublayers in the control plane 300 for Physical Layer 351, PDCP sublayer 354 in L2 Layer 355, RLC sublayer 353 in L2 Layer 355, and MAC sublayer 352 in L2 Layer 355. However, 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 between QoS flows and data radio bearers to support service diversity. The UE's radio protocol architecture in the user plane 350 may include some or all of the protocol sublayers of SDAP sublayer 356, PDCP sublayer 354, RLC sublayer 353, and MAC sublayer 352 at the L2 layer. Although not illustrated, the UE may also have several upper layers above the L2 layer 355, including a network layer (e.g., IP 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.).

[0268] As an example, the PDCP304 sends data to or receives data from the RLC303 via the RLC channel.

[0269] As an example, the PDCP354 sends data to or receives data from the RLC353 via the RLC channel.

[0270] As an example, the RLC303 sends data to or receives data from the MAC302 via a logical channel.

[0271] As an example, the RLC353 sends data to or receives data from the MAC352 via a logical channel.

[0282] As an example, the RRC sublayer 306 in the L3 layer belongs to a higher layer.

[0283] Example 4

[0284] Example 4 illustrates a hardware module schematic diagram of a 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 450 and a second communication device 410 communicating with each other in an access network.

[0285] The first 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.

[0286] The second communication device 410 includes a controller / processor 475, a memory 476, a data source 477, 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.

[0287] In the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, at the second communication device 410, upper-layer data packets from the core network or from the data source 477 are provided to the controller / processor 475. The core network and data source 477 represent all protocol layers above the L2 layer. The controller / processor 475 implements the functionality of the L2 layer. In the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first 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 for the first communication device 450 based on various priority metrics. The controller / processor 475 is also responsible for retransmitting lost packets and signaling to the first 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). Transmit processor 416 performs encoding and interleaving to facilitate FEC (Forward Error Correction) at the second communication device 410, and mapping of signal clusters based on various modulation schemes (e.g., BPSK (Binary Phase Shift Keying), QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying), M-PSK (M-Phase Shift Keying), M-QAM (M-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation)). 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 spatial streams. Transmit processor 416 then maps each spatial stream to subcarriers, multiplexes it with a reference signal (e.g., a pilot) in the time and / or frequency domains, and subsequently uses IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform) to generate a physical channel carrying the time-domain multicarrier symbol stream. 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 transmitter processor 471 into an radio frequency stream, which is then provided to different antennas 420.

[0288] In the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, at the first 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 signal processing functions of the L1 layer. 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 FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) 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 spatial stream destined for the first communication device 450. Symbols on each spatial 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 second 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 the functions of Layer 2. 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 transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, the controller / processor 459 provides multiplexing, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing between the transport and logical channels to recover higher-layer data packets from the second communication device 410. The upper-layer data packets are then provided to all protocol layers above Layer 2. Various control signals may also be provided to Layer 3 for Layer 3 processing.

[0289] In the transmission from the first communication device 450 to the second communication device 410, at the first communication device 450, upper-layer data packets are provided to the controller / processor 459 using a data source 467. The data source 467 represents all protocol layers above the L2 layer. Similar to the transmission functions at the second communication device 410 described in the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, the controller / processor 459 implements header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between the logical and transport channels, implementing L2 layer functions for the user plane and control plane. The controller / processor 459 is also responsible for retransmitting lost packets and signaling to the second 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 spatial 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.

[0290] In the transmission from the first communication device 450 to the second communication device 410, the function at the second communication device 410 is similar to the receiving function at the first communication device 450 described in the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first 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 layer function. The controller / processor 475 implements the L2 layer 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. In the transmission from the first communication device 450 to the second communication device 410, the controller / processor 475 provides multiplexing between the transmission and logical channels, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing to recover the upper-layer data packets from the first communication device 450. Upper-layer data packets from the controller / processor 475 can be provided to the core network or all protocol layers above the L2 layer, and various control signals can also be provided to the core network or L3 for L3 processing.

[0309] Example 5

[0310] Example 5 illustrates another signal processing flowchart in a first node according to an embodiment of this application, as shown in Figure 5.

[0311] In Example 5, in step S501, the first node performs a first channel access procedure for a planned uplink transmission; in step S502, it is determined, based on the first channel access procedure, that the channel access was not completed before the planned uplink transmission; in step S503, a consistent LBT failure is triggered for the active uplink BWP of the SpCell; in step S504, the active uplink BWP of the SpCell is switched to the first uplink BWP; and in step S505, an LBT failure MAC CE is generated.

[0312] Steps S501 and S502 in Figure 5 are executed in the physical layer of the first node; steps S503, S504 and S505 in Figure 5 are executed in the MAC sublayer of the first node; the LBT failure indication is indicated from the physical layer of the first node to the MAC sublayer of the first node.

[0313] As an example, a first channel access procedure is performed for a planned uplink transmission before the LBT fails to be received, the planned uplink transmission being in the active uplink BWP of the SpCell.

[0314] As an example, a first channel access procedure is performed for a planned uplink transmission in the active uplink BWP of the SpCell; in response to a failure to access the channel prior to the planned uplink transmission according to the first channel access procedure, an LBT failure indication is sent to the MAC sublayer of the first node.

[0315] As an example, the planned uplink transmission is dynamically scheduled.

[0316] As an example, the intended uplink transmission is a configured uplink transmission.

[0317] As an example, the intended uplink transmission is a PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) transmission.

[0318] As an example, the PUSCH transmission is a wireless signal transmitted via PUSCH.

[0319] As an example, the intended uplink transmission is a PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) transmission.

[0320] As an example, the PUCCH transmission is a wireless signal transmitted via PUCCH.

[0321] As an example, the intended uplink transmission is an SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) transmission.

[0322] As an example, the frequency domain resources occupied by the intended uplink transmission are located in the active uplink BWP of the SpCell.

[0323] As an example, the first channel access procedure is performed before the intended uplink transmission.

[0324] As an example, the first channel access procedure is performed at the physical layer of the first node.

[0325] As one embodiment, the first channel access process includes channel sensing.

[0326] As one embodiment, the channel sensing includes sensing at least once whether the channel is idle.

[0327] As one example, the channel awareness is used to determine whether to access the channel.

[0328] As an example, when the channel sensing determines that a channel is accessible, it immediately determines that the channel is accessible and accesses the channel; when the channel sensing determines that a channel is not accessible, it immediately determines that the channel is not accessible and accesses the channel is not possible.

[0329] As an example, when the channel sensing determines that a channel is idle, the system immediately determines that the channel is idle and accesses the channel; when the channel sensing determines that a channel is busy, the system immediately determines that the channel is busy and accesses the channel is not possible.

[0330] As an example, the first node determines that the channel is idle at least once by performing channel awareness on a channel, and then determines to access the channel after determining that the channel is idle at least once.

[0331] As an example, the channel sensing performed on a channel is used to determine that the channel is considered accessible when the channel is idle for Q times; where Q is a positive integer and is related to the type of channel access procedure of the channel sensing.

[0332] As one example, whether the sensing channel is idle is determined during a sensing slot duration.

[0333] As an example, the length of one sensing time slot is 9 microseconds.

[0334] As an example, the length of a single sensing time slot does not exceed 25 microseconds.

[0335] As an example, for a channel, if the energy detected by the first node on the channel is less than a first specific threshold for at least a portion of a sensing time slot, the first node senses that the channel is idle during the sensing time slot.

[0336] As an example, the at least part of the period is shorter than the period of the one sensing time slot.

[0337] As an example, the at least part of the period is 4 microseconds.

[0338] As an example, the process of sensing whether the channel is idle is performed during a defer duration.

[0339] As an example, the length of the delay period is 25 microseconds.

[0340] As one embodiment, the channel sensing includes performing at least one sensing of whether the channel is idle during a delay period.

[0341] As an example, for a channel, if the first node senses idle during each of at least one sensing time slot during a delay period on the channel, the first node senses that the delay period of the channel is idle.

[0342] As an example, the first specific threshold is configurable.

[0343] As an example, the unit of the first specific threshold is dBm (millidecibels).

[0344] As an example, the unit of the first specific threshold is mW (milliwatts).

[0345] As an example, the first channel access procedure is a Type 1 uplink channel access procedure.

[0346] As an example, the first channel access procedure is a Type 2 uplink channel access procedure.

[0347] As an example, the first channel access procedure is a Type 2A uplink channel access procedure.

[0348] As an example, the first channel access procedure is a Type 2B uplink channel access procedure.

[0349] As an example, the first channel access procedure is a Type 2C uplink channel access procedure.

[0350] As an example, the specific process of determining whether to access a channel through channel awareness can be found in TS37.213.

[0351] As an example, the first node is a user equipment that intends to perform uplink transmission on a configured resource on one of the active uplink BWPs of the SpCell.

[0352] As an example, when the channel is detected to be idle before a planned uplink transmission according to the first channel access procedure, the channel is accessed before a planned uplink transmission according to the first channel access procedure.

[0353] As one embodiment, the access channel includes performing the intended uplink transmission on the channel.

[0354] As an example, if the channel is not detected to be idle before the intended uplink transmission according to the first channel access procedure, the channel is not accessed before the intended uplink transmission according to the first channel access procedure.

[0355] As an example, when a busy channel is detected before a planned uplink transmission according to the first channel access procedure, the channel cannot be accessed before the planned uplink transmission according to the first channel access procedure.

[0356] As an example, if the channel cannot be accessed before the intended uplink transmission according to the first channel access procedure, the intended uplink transmission is not transmitted.

[0357] As an example, not sending the intended uplink transmission includes: abandoning the intention to send the intended uplink transmission.

[0358] As an example, not sending the intended uplink transmission includes: delaying the sending of the intended uplink transmission.

[0359] As an example, not sending the intended uplink transmission includes: not sending the intended uplink transmission on a channel sensed by the first channel access procedure.

[0360] As an example, if the first channel access procedure fails to access the channel before the intended uplink transmission, the physical layer of the first node sends the LBT failure indication to the MAC sublayer.

[0361] As an example, in response to receiving the LBT failure indication, the value of the first counter is incremented by 1; wherein the updated value of the first counter is not less than the first threshold.

[0362] As an example, if the channel access procedure fails to access the channel before the intended uplink transmission, a consistent LBT failure is triggered for the active uplink BWP of the SpCell; wherein the value of the first counter for the SpCell is not less than the first threshold.

[0363] As an example, in response to a consistent LBT failure triggered for the active uplink BWP of the SpCell, the active uplink BWP of the SpCell is switched to the first uplink BWP located in the same carrier corresponding to the SpCell.

[0364] As an example, the random access opportunity in the first subband configured on the SBFD symbol overlaps with each of the K uplink BWPs in the frequency domain, and the first uplink BWP is one of the K uplink BWPs; wherein, K is a positive integer.

[0365] As an example, the random access opportunity in the first subband configured on the SBFD symbol does not overlap with any of the K uplink BWPs in the frequency domain, and the first uplink BWP is one of the K uplink BWPs; wherein, K is a positive integer.

[0366] As a sub-implementation of the two embodiments described above, each of the K uplink BWPs is configured with a random access opportunity.

[0367] As a sub-implementation of the two embodiments described above, the K uplink BWPs are the uplink BWPs configured for the first node that have not yet experienced a consistent LBT failure.

[0368] As an example, the first uplink BWP is determined from K uplink BWPs.

[0369] As an example, the K uplink BWPs are candidate BWPs for the first node to perform active uplink BWP switching.

[0370] As an example, the K uplink BWPs do not include the active uplink BWP.

[0371] As an example, none of the K uplink BWPs have been activated yet.

[0372] As an example, K is a positive integer less than 4.

[0373] As an example, the K uplink BWPs are configured by the network.

[0374] As an example, the K uplink BWPs are configured on NUL (Normal Uplink) carriers.

[0375] As an example, the K uplink BWPs are configured on a SUL (Supplementary Uplink) carrier.

[0376] As an example, the first uplink BWP is the uplink BWP with the largest bandwidth among the K uplink BWPs.

[0377] As an example, the uplink BWP with the smallest BWP identifier is among the K uplink BWPs of the first uplink BWP.

[0378] As an example, the first uplink BWP is one of the K uplink BWPs that has the same subcarrier spacing (SCS) as the active uplink BWP.

[0379] As an example, the first uplink BWP is the uplink BWP with the largest RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) among the K uplink BWPs.

[0380] As an example, the first uplink BWP is any one of the K uplink BWPs.

[0381] As an example, the K uplink BWPs are all located in the same carrier corresponding to the SpCell.

[0382] As an example, the random access opportunity in the first subband configured on the SBFD symbol may overlap with K1 uplink BWPs in the frequency domain, but may not overlap with K2 uplink BWPs, wherein the first uplink BWP is one of the K1 uplink BWPs.

[0383] As an example, no consistent LBT failure occurred in either the K1 uplink BWPs or the K2 uplink BWPs.

[0384] As an example, the K1 uplink BWPs and the K2 uplink BWPs are respectively configured to the first node.

[0385] As an example, neither the K1 uplink BWP nor the K2 uplink BWP has been activated.

[0386] As an example, neither the K1 uplink BWPs nor the K2 uplink BWPs include the active uplink BWP.

[0387] As an example, the first uplink BWP is determined from the K1 uplink BWPs.

[0388] As an example, K1 and K2 are positive integers.

[0389] As an example, both K1 and K2 are positive integers less than or equal to 4.

[0390] As an example, the sum of K1 and K2 is 4.

[0394] As an example, both the K1 uplink BWPs and the K2 uplink BWPs are configured on the SUL carrier.

[0395] As an example, when the random access opportunity in the first subband configured on the SBFD symbol overlaps with K1 uplink BWPs in the frequency domain, but does not overlap with K2 uplink BWPs, the first uplink BWP is determined from the K1 uplink BWPs.

[0396] As an example, the K1 uplink BWPs are candidate BWPs for the first node to perform active uplink BWP switching.

[0397] As an example, the first uplink BWP is the uplink BWP with the largest bandwidth among the K1 uplink BWPs.

[0398] As an example, the uplink BWP with the smallest BWP identifier among the K1 uplink BWPs of the first uplink BWP.

[0399] As an example, the first uplink BWP is one of the K1 uplink BWPs that has the same subcarrier spacing as the active uplink BWP.

[0400] As an example, the first uplink BWP is the uplink BWP with the largest RSRP among the K1 uplink BWPs.

[0401] As an example, the first uplink BWP is any one of the K1 uplink BWPs.

[0402] As an example, the K1 uplink BWPs are all located in the same carrier corresponding to the SpCell.

[0403] As an example, the first sub-band configured on the SBFD symbol overlaps with at least one of the K2 uplink BWPs in the frequency domain.

[0404] As an example, at least one uplink BWP among the K2 uplink BWPs that overlaps in the frequency domain with the first subband on the SBFD symbol is not configured with a conventional random access opportunity.

[0405] As an example, when the random access opportunity configured in the first sub-band on the SBFD symbol overlaps with each of the K1 uplink BWPs in the frequency domain, and the K1 uplink BWPs are configured with conventional random access opportunities, the first uplink BWP is determined from the K1 uplink BWPs; wherein, the random access opportunity configured in the first sub-band on the SBFD symbol does not overlap with any of the K2 uplink BWPs in the frequency domain, or the first sub-band on the SBFD symbol overlaps with at least one of the K2 uplink BWPs in the frequency domain.

[0406] As an example, the random access opportunities configured in the first subband on the SBFD symbol overlap with the random access opportunities configured in the K1 uplink BWPs in the frequency domain.

[0407] As an example, the random access opportunities configured in the first subband on the SBFD symbol do not overlap with the random access opportunities configured in the K2 uplink BWPs in the frequency domain.

[0408] As an example, the random access opportunity configured in the first subband on the SBFD symbol overlaps in the frequency domain with the random access opportunity configured in at least one of the K1 uplink BWPs; wherein, the at least one uplink BWP among the K1 uplink BWPs is configured with a random access opportunity.

It should be noted that the order in this example does not limit the signal transmission order or the order of implementation in this application. In Figure 6, the steps included in the dashed box F601 are optional.

[0445] For the first node N61, in step S611, the first information block set is received; in step S612, the first signaling is received.

[0446] For the second node N62, in step S621, the first information block set is sent; in step S622, the first signaling is sent.

[0457] As a sub-implementation of the two embodiments described above, the SBFD operation is performed on the second node N62, or the SBFD operation is performed on the first node N61.

[0458] As an example, step S611 is performed before step S612.

[0459] As an example, step S611 is performed after step S622.

[0460] As an example, the first set of information blocks is received before the first signaling.

[0461] As an example, the first set of information blocks is received after the first signaling.

[0462] As one embodiment, the first information block set and the first signaling are two separate signaling systems.

[0463] As an example, the first information block set and the first signaling are carried in the same RRC signaling.

[0464] As an example, the determination of the first uplink BWP depends on both the random access opportunity in the first subband configured on the SBFD symbol and the first signaling.

[0465] As an example, if the first signaling is not received when a consistent LBT failure for the active uplink BWP for the SpCell is triggered, the determination of the first uplink BWP does not depend on the random access opportunity configured in the first subband on the SBFD symbol.

[0466] As an example, when a consistent LBT failure of the active uplink BWP for the SpCell is triggered, the first signaling is not received. The first uplink BWP is one of Q uplink BWPs configured for the first node that have not yet experienced a consistent LBT failure and are located on the same carrier as the active uplink BWP corresponding to the SpCell; wherein, Q is a positive integer not greater than 4.

[0472] As an example, one of the Q uplink BWPs overlaps in the frequency domain with the random access opportunity configured in the first subband on the SBFD symbol.

[0473] As an example, one of the Q uplink BWPs does not overlap with the random access opportunity in the first subband configured on the SBFD symbol in the frequency domain.

[0474] As an example, receiving the first signaling, the determination of the first uplink BWP also depends on the first signaling.

[0475] As an example, the first signaling is received from the second node in this application.

[0476] As an example, the first signaling is RRC signaling.

[0478] As an example, the first signaling is MAC CE.

[0479] As an example, the first signaling is physical layer signaling.

[0480] As an example, the first signaling is DCI (Downlink Control Information).

[0481] As an example, the determination of the first signaling enabling the first uplink BWP depends on the random access opportunity in the first subband configured on the SBFD symbol.

[0482] As one embodiment, the determination of the first signaling enabling the first uplink BWP depends on the time-domain location of the random access opportunity in the first subband configured on the SBFD symbol.

[0483] As one embodiment, the determination of the first uplink BWP enabling the first signaling depends on the frequency domain location of the random access opportunity in the first subband configured on the SBFD symbol. As another embodiment, the first signaling has been received when a consistent LBT failure for the active uplink BWP for the SpCell is triggered, and the determination of the first uplink BWP depends on the time domain location of the random access opportunity in the first subband configured on the SBFD symbol.

[0484] As an example, the first signaling has been received when a consistent LBT failure of the active uplink BWP for the SpCell is triggered, and the determination of the first uplink BWP depends on the frequency domain location of the random access opportunity in the first subband configured on the SBFD symbol.

[0485] As an example, when a consistent LBT failure for the active uplink BWP for the SpCell is triggered, the first signaling has been received, and the active uplink BWP is switched to the first uplink BWP; wherein the first uplink BWP and the random access opportunity configured in the first subband on the SBFD symbol overlap in the frequency domain.

[0486] As an example, when a consistent LBT failure for the active uplink BWP for the SpCell is triggered, the first signaling has been received, and the active uplink BWP is switched to the first uplink BWP; wherein the first uplink BWP is one of at least one uplink BWP that overlaps in the frequency domain with the random access opportunity configured in the first subband on the SBFD symbol.

[0520] As an example, a symbol with a sub-band for the SBFD operation is defined as the SBFD symbol.

[0521] As an example, the SBFD operation is defined in the downlink symbol.

[0538] Example 9

[0539] Example 9 illustrates an SBFD symbol according to an embodiment of this application, a schematic diagram of the relationship between an uplink BWP and a first subband, as shown in Figure 9. In Figure 9, the unfilled rectangle represents the SBFD symbol, and the right-diagonally filled rectangle represents the overlapping region of an uplink BWP and a first subband in the frequency domain.

[0540] In Embodiment 9, the transmission direction in the first subband on the SBFD symbol is uplink; wherein the SpCell operates in TDD mode.

[0541] As one embodiment, the transmission direction of the first subband is configured as uplink by the first information block set.

[0542] As an example, the first sub-band is a subset of the uplink BWP in the frequency domain.

[0545] As an example, the overlapping region of an uplink BWP and a first subband in the frequency domain is the SBFD uplink subband.

[0546] As an example, the SBFD uplink subband is located within the uplink BWP.

[0553] Example 10

[0554] Example 10 illustrates a signal processing flowchart for generating an LBT failure MAC CE according to an embodiment of this application, as shown in Figure 10.

[0555] In Example 10, in step 1001, a consistent LBT failure for the active uplink BWP of the SpCell is triggered and not canceled in the first node 1000, and in step 1002, an LBT failure MAC CE is generated, which indicates the SpCell.

[0556] As an example, when a consistent LBT failure for the active uplink BWP of the SpCell is triggered and not canceled, the MAC entity instruction multiplexing and assembly process of the first node generates the LBT failure MAC CE.

[0557] As an example, the LBT failure MAC CE indicates the SpCell.

[0558] As an example, the bit for the SpCell included in the LBT failure MAC CE is set to 1.

[0559] As an example, the LBT failure MAC CE includes the index of the SpCell.

[0560] As an example, the LBT failure MAC CE includes the identifier of the SpCell.

[0561] As an example, the LBT failure MAC CE indicates an LBT failure triggered on the uplink BWP included in the SpCell.

[0562] As an example, the LBT failure MAC CE indicates that an LBT failure was not triggered for the first subband included in the SpCell.

[0563] As an example, the LBT failure MAC CE indication triggers an LBT failure for the first subband included in the SpCell.

[0564] As an example, the UL-SCH (Uplink Shared Channel) resource can be used for new transmissions on the first subband, and as a result of logical channel prioritization (LCP), the UL-SCH resource can accommodate the LBT failure MAC CE and its subheader.

[0565] As an example, the UL-SCH resource can be used for new transmissions on the SpCell, and as a result of logical channel prioritization, the UL-SCH resource can accommodate the LBT failure MAC CE and its subheading.

[0566] As an example, the UL-SCH resource can be used for new transmissions on a serving cell where the consistent LBT failure of the first node has not been triggered, and as a result of logical channel prioritization, the UL-SCH resource can accommodate the LBT failure MAC CE and its subheading.

[0567] As an example, after the LBT failure MAC CE is sent, the triggered consistent LBT failure for the active uplink BWP of the SpCell is cancelled.

[0568] As an example, if the first subband is reconfigured, the triggered consistent LBT failure for the active uplink BWP of the SpCell is canceled.

[0569] As an example, when the random access procedure on the SpCell is considered to have completed successfully, the triggered consistent LBT failure for the active uplink BWP of the SpCell is canceled.

[0570] As an example, when the lbt-FailureRecoveryConfig for the SpCell is reconfigured, the triggered consistent LBT failure for the active uplink BWP for the SpCell is canceled.

[0571] Example 11

[0572] Example 11 illustrates a signal processing flowchart for triggering a consistent LBT failure for an active uplink BWP of the SpCell according to an embodiment of this application, as shown in Figure 11. In Figure 11, the first node N1100 is the first node in this application.

[0573] In Example 11, for the first node N1100, in step S1101, it is determined whether a planned uplink transmission has failed to access the channel. If yes, step S1102 is executed; if no, step S1101 is executed. In step S1102, the value of the first counter is incremented by 1. In step S1103, it is determined whether the updated value of the first counter is not less than a first threshold. If yes, step S1104 is executed; if no, step S1101 is executed. In step S1104, a consistent LBT failure is triggered for the active uplink BWP of the SpCell.

[0574] As an example, the physical layer of the first node performs a first channel access procedure in the active uplink BWP of the SpCell for a planned uplink transmission, and when it fails to access the channel before the planned uplink transmission according to the first channel access procedure, it sends an LBT failure indication to the MAC sublayer of the first node.

[0575] As an example, in response to receiving the LBT failure indication, the value of the first counter is incremented by 1.

[0576] As an example, a consistent LBT failure for the active uplink BWP of the SpCell is triggered only if the updated value of the first counter is not less than a first threshold.

[0580] As an example, a first receiver 1201 receives a first signaling; the determination of the first uplink BWP also depends on the first signaling; the first signaling enables the determination of the first uplink BWP, which depends on the frequency domain position of the random access opportunity in the first sub-band configured on the SBFD symbol.

[0581] As an example, the random access opportunity in the first subband configured on the SBFD symbol overlaps with K1 uplink BWPs in the frequency domain, but does not overlap with K2 uplink BWPs, wherein the first uplink BWP is one of the K1 uplink BWPs; wherein K1 and K2 are positive integers.

[0585] As an example, the SBFD symbol includes at least one of a symbol configured as DL by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon and a symbol configured as flexible by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon.

[0586] As one embodiment, the transmission direction in the first subband on the SBFD symbol is uplink; wherein the SpCell operates in TDD mode.

[0587] As an example, the first transmitter 1202 generates an LBT failure MAC CE, which indicates the SpCell; wherein the triggered consistent LBT failure of the active uplink BWP for the SpCell is not canceled.

[0588] As an example, the first transmitter 1202, in response to receiving the LBT failure indication, increments the value of the first counter by 1; wherein the updated value of the first counter is not less than a first threshold.

[0589] As an example, the first transmitter 1202 performs a first channel access procedure for a planned uplink transmission before receiving the LBT failure, the planned uplink transmission being in the active uplink BWP of the SpCell; wherein, according to the first channel access procedure, access to the channel failed before the planned uplink transmission.
