[0002] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411886313.1, filed in China on December 19, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to an uplink power control method, a base station, a terminal, a storage medium, and a computer program product. Background Technology

[0004] Uplink power control allows terminals far from the base station to increase their transmission power so that the base station can receive signals normally, while terminals closer to the base station can reduce their transmission power, saving power and reducing interference to other devices.

[0005] Currently, the uplink power control scheme for the Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) employs a closed-loop power control method. SRS uplink power control is used for path loss estimation based on the dissimilarity of uplink and downlink channels. Since the uplink and downlink channels are essentially identical, the downlink reference signal can be used for uplink path loss estimation.

[0006] When sensing is introduced, as shown in Figure 1, the terminal sends a sensing signal, and the base station receives the sensing signal. This path loss is greater than or equal to the communication path loss. Even assuming that the path loss is proportional to the path length, the sensing path loss can be roughly estimated based on the difference in path length. However, since the sensing target is unknown, the difference between the sensing path and the communication path cannot be estimated. The sensing signal is similar to SRS, and the uplink power control scheme of SRS can be used to implement the uplink power control of the sensing signal. However, the path loss value of the existing SRS is much smaller than the actual path loss value of the sensing signal, making it difficult to directly use the SRS uplink power control scheme to effectively implement the uplink power control of the sensing signal. Adjusting to the expected power requires multiple feedbacks, which is inefficient and wasteful of resources. Summary of the Invention

Based on existing SRS uplink power control schemes, it adds a power offset value and expands the selectable power adjustment values.

[0079] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure.

[0080] The technical solutions of this disclosure and how they solve the aforementioned technical problems will be described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The embodiments below can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0081] Furthermore, the technical solutions described in the embodiments of this disclosure can be combined arbitrarily without conflict.

[0082] This disclosure provides an uplink power control method that, based on the SRS uplink power control scheme, adds a first power offset value to compensate for the difference in path loss between sensing and communication, and / or expands the SRS power adjustment value set to provide a first power adjustment value that meets the requirements.

[0083] The SRS uplink power control scheme is expressed by the following formula (1):

[0084] P SRS,b,f,c (i,q s ,l) represents the uplink power of the SRS;

[0085] P CMAX,f,c (i) represents the maximum transmission power of SRS, and i is the timing of an SRS transmission; P O_SRS,b,f,c (q s )+10log 10 (2 μ ·M SRS,b,f,c (i))+α SRS,b,f,c (q s )·PL b,f,c (q d )+h b,f,c (i,l) is the power calculation formula for the candidate uplink power values, where:

[0091] Based on the above, the uplink power control method provided in this disclosure will be described from the perspectives of the base station side and the terminal side, respectively.

[0092] Figure 2 is a flowchart illustrating an uplink power control method according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, the uplink power control method applied to a base station in this embodiment mainly includes the following steps:

[0093] S101. Indicate a first power offset value and / or a first power adjustment value to the terminal so that the terminal can control the uplink power of the sensing signal based on the SRS uplink power control scheme, the first power offset value and / or the first power adjustment value;

[0094] The first power offset value is used to compensate for the difference in path loss between sensing and communication; the first power offset value is a dynamically variable value obtained by algorithm calculation;

[0095] The first power adjustment value is selected from the power adjustment value candidate set and is used to determine the closed-loop power adjustment value of the sensing signal. The power adjustment value candidate set is obtained by expanding the SRS power adjustment value set.

[0096] In embodiments of this disclosure, the base station may indicate a first power offset value and / or a first power adjustment value to the terminal so that the terminal can control the uplink power of the sensed signal in conjunction with the SRS uplink power control scheme.

[0097] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the base station may indicate at least one of a first power offset value and a first power adjustment value to the terminal. The specific content indicated may be determined according to actual needs and application scenarios, and is not limited in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0098] The following sections explain how the first power offset value and the first power adjustment value are determined and indicated.

[0099] In the embodiments of this disclosure, considering the difference between sensing and communication, the path loss value of SRS power control is smaller than the path loss value of the sensing signal. Therefore, a first power offset value is added to the formula (1) to compensate for the difference in path loss between sensing and communication. Specifically, in formula (1), the smaller of the maximum transmission power of the SRS signal and the uplink power candidate value calculated by another power calculation formula is selected as the uplink power of the SRS signal. Based on this, when calculating the uplink power of the sensing signal, the first power offset value can be superimposed according to the power calculation formula in formula (1) to calculate the uplink power candidate value of the sensing signal, which is then used to control the uplink power of the reference signal. It should be noted that when calculating the uplink power candidate value of the sensing signal according to the power calculation formula in formula (1) combined with the first power offset value, the SRS-related parameters in formula (1) are replaced with the relevant parameters of the sensing signal.

[0100] In the embodiments of this disclosure, since the sensing target is uncertain, the actual power offset value cannot be determined to compensate for the path loss. It is necessary to find a suitable power offset value, namely a first power offset value, that is, to make it as close as possible to the actual power offset value. The base station can perform the following steps to determine the first power offset value: determine the first power offset value based on the location of the base station and the terminal, the maximum sensing distance of the sensing signal, and the downlink path loss value, or determine the first power offset value based on the altitude of the terminal.

[0101] In embodiments of this disclosure, the base station determines a first power offset value based on the locations of the base station and the terminal, the maximum sensing distance of the sensing signal, and the downlink path loss value. This includes: constructing an ellipse with the locations of the base station and the terminal as two foci, and the sum of the distances to the two foci being the maximum sensing distance; defining the area within the ellipse as the sensing coverage area; determining an intermediate path length such that the probability of the sensing path of a sensing target within the sensing coverage area being greater than or less than the intermediate path length is 1 / 2; determining the distance between the base station and the terminal based on their locations; and determining the first power offset value based on the intermediate path length, the distance value, and the downlink path loss value.

[0102] In embodiments of this disclosure, the base station determines a first power offset value based on a path length median, a distance value, and a downlink path loss value, including: calculating the difference between the path length median and the distance value to obtain a first value; calculating the ratio of the first value to the distance value to obtain a second value; and calculating the product of the second value and the downlink path loss value to obtain the first power offset value.

[0103] For example, in an embodiment of this disclosure, referring to Figure 3, the two circles on the x-axis represent the positions of the base station and the terminal. The process of determining the first power offset value can be as follows: After the sensing signal is configured, a maximum unambiguous distance, i.e., the maximum sensing distance, can be determined. Δf represents the carrier spacing, and c represents the speed of light. The sensing coverage area can be determined based on the maximum sensing distance: the locations of the base station and the terminal are considered as two focal points, and the distance between these focal points, i.e., the distance between the base station and the terminal, is valued as d. c Draw an ellipse by connecting the sum of the distances from any point to the two foci, which is the maximum perceptible distance. This refers to the outer ellipse in Figure 3; the area within the ellipse is the sensing coverage area. The sensed target appears randomly within the sensing coverage area, and a path length intermediate value d can be found. s Let the probability that the sensing path of a target within the sensing coverage area is greater than or less than the median path length be 1 / 2. Choosing this median path length minimizes the number of power adjustments required for the accumulated value. The area of ​​the sensing coverage area can be calculated using the formula for the maximum sensing ellipse. Since the distance between the two foci is known, similarly, we can use the locations of the base station and the terminal as the two foci, and draw a line connecting the sum of the distances from any point to the two foci, which is the midpoint of the distance length. This will create another ellipse, namely the inner ellipse in Figure 3. This can be achieved using the two equations π·d s / 2·d b / 2=S / 2,(d b / 2) 2 =(d s / 2) 2 -(d c / 2) 2 Solve for d s d b It is the length of the minor semi-axis of the ellipse constructed using the median path length. Based on this, the first power offset value P can be calculated. offset (i)=(d s -d c ) / d c ·PL b,f,c (q d The path length is directly proportional to the path loss.

[0104] In embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal can be a mobile phone or a flight device, such as an aircraft. In this case, the base station can also determine a first power offset value based on the altitude of the terminal. Specifically, the first power offset value can be determined according to a function related to the altitude of the terminal. For example, the first power offset value P offset (i) = k × h, where k is the set compensation factor and h is the coverage of the terminal.

[0105] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the base station indicates a first power offset value to the terminal, which can be indicated directly through a DCI. The steps are as follows: configure a first DCI to the terminal, wherein the first DCI carries the first power offset value.

[0106] In embodiments of this disclosure, the base station can also configure a power offset value candidate set to the terminal via semi-static signaling; wherein the power offset value candidate set includes a first power offset value, and each power offset value in the power offset value candidate set corresponds one-to-one with an index. Based on this, the base station can also indicate the first power offset value to the terminal by indicating the index, as follows: configure a second DCI to the terminal, wherein the second DCI carries the index of the first power offset value.

[0107] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this disclosure, some commonly used values ​​can be selected to form a power offset value candidate set according to the actual application scenario, which includes a first power offset value. The specific number and values ​​of the power offset values ​​included in the power offset value candidate set are not limited in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0108] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the above are only two exemplary methods for indicating the first power offset value. Of course, the base station may also use other methods to indicate the first power offset value to the terminal according to actual needs and application scenarios. This disclosure does not limit such methods.

[0109] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this disclosure, the positions of the base station and the terminal are used in the process of determining the first power offset value. The movement of the terminal will affect the magnitude of the first power offset value. Based on this, if the change in the position of the terminal exceeds the threshold, the base station can redetermine the first power offset value and indicate it to the terminal. The specific determination method and indication method are the same as those described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0110] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the uplink power control of the sensing signal is implemented based on the SRS uplink power control scheme, see formula (1), h b,f,c (i,l) is the closed-loop power regulation value of the SRS, derived from the power regulation value δ. SRS,b,f,c Considering that SRS has relatively low path loss, the SRS power adjustment value set usually contains fewer power adjustment values ​​and smaller values. However, if the power adjustment values ​​in the set are used directly to determine the closed-loop power adjustment value of the sensing signal and perform uplink power control of the sensing signal, multiple feedbacks are required to adjust to the expected power, which is inefficient and wasteful of resources. Therefore, the SRS power adjustment value set is expanded to obtain a power adjustment value candidate set, which adds more optional power adjustment values. The first power adjustment value suitable for the actual needs is selected from these values ​​and indicated to the terminal.

[0111] For example, in embodiments of this disclosure, the power adjustment value candidate set includes power adjustment values ​​as shown in Table 1 below:

[0112] Table 1

[0113] Each index corresponds to a pair of power adjustment values, one applied to the cumulative power control adjustment method and the other to the absolute power control adjustment method. The power adjustment values ​​corresponding to indices 0 to 3 can actually form an SRS power adjustment set, which can be expanded to generate the candidate set of power adjustment values ​​shown in Table 1 above.

[0114] In embodiments of this disclosure, the base station can configure a power adjustment value candidate set to the terminal via semi-static signaling; wherein, in the power adjustment value candidate set, the same index corresponds to a pair of power adjustment values, one applied to a cumulative power control adjustment method and the other applied to an absolute power control adjustment method. Based on this, the base station can indicate a first power adjustment value to the terminal by the following steps: configuring a third DCI and indication information to the terminal; wherein, the third DCI is used to indicate the index of a pair of power adjustment values ​​in the power adjustment value candidate set that contains the first power adjustment value; the indication information is used to indicate the power control adjustment method applied to the first power adjustment value.

[0115] It is understood that in the embodiments of this disclosure, the same index corresponds to a pair of power adjustment values, and the two power adjustment values ​​in the pair of power adjustment values ​​are subject to different power control adjustment methods. Based on this, the base station needs to indicate the index and the power control adjustment method so that the terminal can determine the first power adjustment value.

[0116] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this disclosure, the base station may also directly indicate the first power adjustment value to the terminal, or other methods may be used to indicate it based on actual needs and application scenarios. This disclosure does not limit the scope of the embodiments.

[0117] Figure 4 is a schematic flowchart of an uplink power control method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 4, in the embodiment of this disclosure, the uplink power control method applied to the terminal mainly includes the following steps:

[0118] S201. Based on the SRS uplink power control scheme, the first power offset value and / or the first power adjustment value indicated by the base station, control the uplink power of the sensed signal;

[0119] The first power offset value is used to compensate for the difference in path loss between sensing and communication; the first power offset value is a dynamically variable value obtained by algorithm calculation;

[0120] The first power adjustment value is selected from the power adjustment value candidate set and is used to determine the closed-loop power adjustment value of the sensing signal. The power adjustment value candidate set is obtained by expanding the SRS power adjustment value set.

[0121] In the embodiments of this disclosure, corresponding to the base station-side method described above, the terminal can receive a first power offset value and / or a first power adjustment value indicated by the base station, thereby controlling the uplink power of the sensing signal based on the SRS uplink power control scheme, the first power offset value and / or the first power adjustment value indicated by the base station.

[0122] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal may receive a first DCI configured by the base station, the first DCI carrying a first power offset value, or a power offset value candidate set configured by the base station through semi-static signaling; wherein the power offset value candidate set includes the first power offset value, and each power offset value in the power offset value candidate set corresponds one-to-one with an index. Based on this, the terminal may also receive a second DCI configured by the base station, the second DCI carrying the index of the first power offset value.

[0123] In embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal may receive a power adjustment value candidate set configured by the base station through semi-static signaling; wherein, in the power adjustment value candidate set, the same index corresponds to a pair of power adjustment values, one applied to the cumulative power control adjustment mode and the other applied to the absolute power control adjustment mode. Based on this, the terminal may also receive a third DCI and indication information configured by the base station; wherein, the third DCI is used to indicate the index of a pair of power adjustment values ​​in the power adjustment value candidate set that includes the first power adjustment value; the indication information is used to indicate the power control adjustment mode applied to the first power adjustment value.

[0124] It should be noted that, in the embodiments disclosed herein, the way the terminal obtains the first power offset value and the first power adjustment value corresponds to the way the base station indicates the first power offset value and the first power adjustment value. For a detailed explanation of the first power offset value and the first power adjustment value, please refer to the relevant content on the base station side above, which will not be repeated here.

[0125] In embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal controls the uplink power of the sensing signal based on the SRS uplink power control scheme, a first power offset value, and / or a first power adjustment value, including: calculating a candidate uplink power value of the sensing signal according to the power calculation formula of the SRS uplink power control scheme, combined with the first power offset value and / or the first power adjustment value; and controlling the uplink power of the sensing signal based on the candidate uplink power value and the maximum uplink power value of the sensing signal.

[0126] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal can calculate the uplink power candidate value of the sensing signal according to the power calculation formula in formula (1) above, combined with the first power offset value and / or the first power adjustment value. Wherein, when the first power offset value is obtained, the first power offset value term can be added to the power calculation formula in formula (1). When the first power adjustment value is obtained, it can be used to determine the closed-loop power adjustment value term included in the power calculation formula in formula (1), that is, the closed-loop power adjustment value of the sensing signal. Based on this, the uplink power candidate value of the sensing signal is calculated. Referring to the SRS uplink power control scheme shown in formula (1), the uplink power of SRS is controlled based on the uplink power candidate value and the uplink power maximum value of SRS. The terminal can control the uplink power of the sensing signal based on the uplink power candidate value and the uplink power maximum value of the sensing signal. Specifically, the smaller of the two can be selected as the uplink power of the sensing signal.
