Description

Signal transmission methods, devices, terminals and network equipment

[0001] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202510382038.8, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on March 28, 2025, entitled “Signal Transmission Method, Apparatus, Terminal and Network Equipment”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a signal transmission method, apparatus, terminal and network equipment. Background Technology

[0003] The research on terminal energy saving proposed the concept of a Low Power Wake-Up Receiver (LP-WUR) to further reduce terminal energy consumption based on relevant energy-saving technologies. When neither the base station nor the terminal is transmitting services, the power-intensive main radio (MR) is turned off, while the LP-WUR is activated to receive signals from the base station. When services are being transmitted, the base station activates the MR via relevant signals to complete the transmission. This significantly reduces terminal power consumption when there is no service transmission.

[0004] However, LP-WUR receivers have significantly lower receptive sensitivity than New Radio (NR) devices and may lack power-intensive components like phase-locked loops (PLLs). This can lead to substantial time / frequency errors, affecting the reception of low-power wake-up signals and consequently impacting data transmission performance. Furthermore, different receiver types may acquire different time-frequency synchronization signals. For OOK-based LP-WUR, significant time-frequency errors can occur when receiving synchronization signals for extended periods, particularly when receiving at least one of the following: time-domain synchronization information, frequency-domain synchronization information, measurement information, and signals carrying control, scheduling, wake-up, synchronization, cell index, and measurement information. This significantly affects the reception performance of such information, hindering timely communication establishment between the base station and the terminal. Reducing the time-frequency errors in terminal reception of such information is a pressing issue. Summary of the Invention

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0046] The terms “first,” “second,” etc., used in this disclosure and in the claims are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this disclosure described herein may be implemented, for example, in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having,” and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0047] In this disclosure, the term "and / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship. In this disclosure, the term "multiple" refers to two or more objects, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0048] In this disclosure, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this disclosure should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0049] The following is a brief explanation of the relevant concepts mentioned in this disclosure.

[0050] I. In the idle or inactive state (RRC_IDLE / INACTIVE mod) of Radio Resource Control, the terminal receives the Synchronization Signal / PBCH Block (SSB) to obtain time and frequency synchronization information.

[0051] When a terminal initially accesses a cell, it is unaware of the carrier's time and frequency information. It blindly searches for the SSB (Synchronization Signal Bus) in both time and frequency at a default period of 20ms to obtain synchronization information. In terms of time, the terminal receives synchronization signals, including the Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and the Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS). The terminal receives the PSS to achieve coarse synchronization and further receives the SSS to achieve fine synchronization. In terms of frequency, the terminal searches for the SSB according to the synchronization grid specified in the protocol.

[0052] II. Synchronization Information Acquisition for Low Power Wake-Up Receivers (LP-WUR) LP-WUR devices may include receiver types with different receiving capabilities. For example, there are OOK-based LP-WURs (OOK LR) that can only receive specific waveforms (such as On-Off Keying (OOK) waveforms and Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK) waveforms), and OFDM-based LP-WURs (OFDM LR) that can simultaneously receive specific waveforms and normal NR waveforms. OOK receivers need to receive periodic low-power synchronization signals (LP-SS) (periodic synchronization signals generated based on OOK waveforms) to obtain synchronization information. OFDM LRs can at least receive SSB to obtain synchronization information. It has been determined that OOK LRs can only receive signals generated based on OOK waveforms to obtain synchronization information. However, the solution to the problem of LP-WUS receiving performance not meeting signal transmission coverage requirements in scenarios where the LP-SS period is long and the Low Power Wake Up Receiver (LP-WUS) is particularly sensitive to time and frequency offset (the number of bits M>2 of the OOK symbol transmitted in one OFDM symbol) has not yet been discussed.

[0053] In related technologies, terminals quickly acquire synchronization information for received downlink signals based on aperiodic Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS). However, the aperiodic CSI-RS mechanism and CSI-RS cannot be applied to low-power devices that cannot receive NR signals, such as OOK LR. For devices designed for OOK LR to receive low-power signals carrying target indication information, such as LP-WUS carrying wake-up indication information, the following problems arise:

[0054] 1) For scenarios where the LP-SS transmission period based on OOK waveform is long and LP-WUS is particularly sensitive to time and frequency deviation (e.g., the transmission time of an OOK symbol is short and the number of information bits carried by LP-WUS is large), it is necessary to study how to ensure that the LP-WUS reception performance meets the signal transmission coverage requirements.

[0055] 2) When the base station does not send periodic low-power synchronization signals, it can send a first signal (e.g., a preamble signal) before sending LP-WUS so that the terminal can quickly obtain time and frequency synchronization information. It is necessary to study the positional relationship between the transmission resources of the first signal and the signals sent after the first signal.

[0056] 3) The first signal is used by the terminal to obtain the time-domain and frequency-domain information of the signals received after transmission. The sequence design of the first signal needs to use the same parameters as the sequence design of the signals sent after transmission, such as the signal generation waveform parameters. It is necessary to study the relationship between the sequence generation of the first signal and the signals sent after transmission.

[0057] To address the above issues, this disclosure proposes a non-periodic signal design for terminals to obtain precise synchronization information of received information, thereby improving the reliability of information transmission.

[0058] This disclosure provides a signal transmission method, apparatus, terminal, and network device to reduce the amount of information received by the terminal.

[0059] The method and apparatus are based on the same concept of the application. Since the methods and apparatus solve problems in similar ways, the implementation of the apparatus and methods can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be described again.

[0060] As shown in Figure 1, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a signal transmission method, executed by a terminal, including:

[0061] Step S101: Determine the resource location and / or sequence reception information of the first signal generated by the first waveform;

[0062] Step S102: Receive the first signal according to the resource location and / or sequence reception information;

[0063] Wherein, the first signal is used for at least one terminal to acquire at least one of time-domain synchronization information, frequency-domain synchronization information, measurement information, and second signal reception information; the first waveform includes at least one of the following: orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveform, non-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (NFODM) waveform, and digital modulation waveform; the second signal carries target information, the target information including at least one of the following: control information, scheduling information, wake-up information, synchronization information, cell index information, and measurement information.

[0064] It should be noted that by determining the resource location and / or sequence reception information of the first signal generated by the first waveform, and based on the resource location and / or sequence reception information, the reception of the first signal for at least one terminal to acquire at least one of time-domain synchronization information, frequency-domain synchronization information, measurement information, and second signal reception information can be achieved. This enables the reception of the first signal for at least one terminal to acquire at least one of time-domain synchronization information, frequency-domain synchronization information, measurement information, and second signal reception information, thereby reducing the time-frequency error of the terminal receiving information and ensuring the reliability of information transmission.

[0065] It should be noted that the terminal mentioned in this disclosure can be an LP-WUR based on OOK.

[0066] It should be noted that the digital modulation waveform mentioned in the embodiments of this disclosure may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) waveform, FSK, and OOK waveform.

[0067] It should be noted that the waveforms of the first signal and the second signal can be the same or different.

[0068] In some embodiments, the terminal may determine whether a second signal is being sent and / or whether a second signal is being received based on the first signal.

[0069] In some embodiments, the second signal is LP-WUS.

[0070] This situation can be understood as follows: the terminal can determine whether a second signal is being sent based on the first signal. For example, if the terminal receives the first signal, there is a second signal being sent on at least one resource of the second signal after the resource of the first signal.

[0071] In some embodiments, the terminal can determine the resource location of the second signal based on the resource location of the first signal.

[0072] In other words, the terminal can obtain the resource location of the second signal received by the second signal based on the first signal. For example, if there is a fixed offset between the time-frequency resource location of the second signal and the time-frequency resource location of the first signal, the terminal can determine the time-frequency resource location of the second signal based on the location where the first signal is received. Furthermore, the terminal can also obtain the time-domain synchronization information and / or frequency-domain synchronization information of the second signal received based on the first signal.

[0073] In some embodiments, determining the resource location and / or sequence reception information of the first signal generated by the first waveform includes at least one of A11 and A12:

[0074] A11. Determine the resource location of the first signal based on the resource location of the second signal and / or the resource configuration information of the first signal;

[0075] In some embodiments, under one implementation, the terminal can determine the resource location of the first signal based on the resource configuration information of the first signal; that is, the resource location of the first signal is independently configured by the network device. Further, in some embodiments, in this case, the terminal can determine the resource location of the second signal based on the resource location of the first signal.

[0076] Of course, the terminal can also determine the resource location of the first signal based on the resource location of the second signal and the resource configuration information of the first signal. In this case, it can be understood that the resource configuration information of the first signal is determined partly by the resource location of the second signal and partly by the resource configuration information of the first signal.

[0077] In some embodiments, the specific implementation of determining the resource location of the first signal based on the resource location of the second signal and / or the resource configuration information of the first signal includes at least one of A111 and A112:

[0078] A111, the resource location of the first signal is on at least one resource of the second signal, and at least one terminal associated with the resource of the second signal obtains at least one of time-domain synchronization information, frequency-domain synchronization information and second signal reception information based on the first signal transmitted on the resource location of the first signal.

[0079] This situation can be understood as the resources of the first signal being within the resources of the second signal, that is, the resources of the first signal being within at least one resource of the second signal, and at least one terminal associated with the resources of the second signal acquiring at least one of time-domain synchronization information, frequency-domain synchronization information, and second signal reception information based on the same resources of the first signal.

[0080] In some embodiments, in one implementation, the resource location of the first signal is on at least one resource of the second signal, including at least one of B11-B14:

[0081] B11. The resource location of the first signal exists on each resource of the second signal;

[0082] This can be understood as follows: the resource locations of the first signal are distributed across every candidate monitoring opportunity (MO) of the second signal, and the resource location of the first signal within each resource of the second signal is fixed. For example, the resource of the first signal may be located within the first K OFDM symbols of each resource of the second signal. For instance, each resource of the second signal may contain 10 OFDM symbols, with the first two OFDM symbols being the resource of the first signal.

[0083] For example, the first signal is LP-WUS. Each LP-WUS MO has a resource location for the first signal. For example, the first 4 OFDM symbols of each MO are the resource locations for the first signal, or there are K resource locations for the first signal in each MO. These resource locations for the first signal can occupy K*L consecutive OFDM symbols in a MO, or the resource locations of adjacent first signals are spaced L2 OFDM symbols apart. The resource location of the first first signal is in the first L OFDM symbols of the MO.

[0084] B12. A resource location of the first signal exists on a set of resources of the second signal;

[0085] This can be understood as dividing the resources of the second signal into resource groups, with each resource group containing the resource location of the first signal. In some embodiments, at least one resource in a resource group is associated with the resource location of the first signal, meaning the resource location of the first signal is on at least one resource within that resource group. In some embodiments, the resource locations of the first signal in different resource groups may be the same or different.

[0086] In some embodiments, a resource location of the first signal includes at least one receiving location of the first signal, whether continuous or discontinuous.

[0087] In some embodiments, the information of the resource group can be network device configuration or protocol-defined. Different resource groups can be associated with the same terminal or different terminals. The location of the resource of the first signal within the resource group can be protocol-defined or network device configuration. For example, the resource of the first signal exists on the first two resources within the resource group.

[0088] B13. A resource location of a first signal is associated with a resource of at least one second signal or a group of resources of at least one second signal;

[0089] In some embodiments, where a resource location of a first signal is associated with a resource of at least one second signal or a resource group of at least one second signal, a resource location of the first signal includes at least one receiving location of the first signal, either consecutively or discontinuously.

[0090] B14. The resource of a second signal in a beam direction is associated with at least one resource location of a first signal in the same beam direction, the resource location of the first signal is at the resource location of at least one second signal in the same beam direction, or the resource location of the first signal is determined based on the resource location of at least one second signal in the same beam direction.

[0091] In some embodiments, where the resources of a second signal in one beam direction are associated with at least one resource location of a first signal in the same beam direction, the resource locations of the first signal include at least one of B21-B22:

[0092] B21. The resource location of the first signal is located on the resources of at least one consecutive second signal under the same beam direction, and the resource location includes at least one of the following: the first X resources, the first resource, and the last Y resources, where X is greater than or equal to 1 and Y is greater than or equal to 1.

[0093] The temporal granularity of the resource location may include at least one of the following: OFDM symbol, at least one frame, ms, slot, a first signal listening opportunity (MO), and the temporal duration occupied by a first waveform symbol.

[0094] In some embodiments, the resource location may be a protocol agreement or a network device configuration.

[0095] B22. The resource location of the first signal is located on the resource of at least one non-contiguous second signal under the same beam direction, and the time interval between the resources of adjacent first signals is the same or different.

[0096] In some embodiments, the time interval may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: at least one resource of a second signal, at least one time slot, at least one OFDM symbol, at least one frame, milliseconds (ms), time slot, time domain duration occupied by a first waveform symbol, and MO of a first signal.

[0097] In some embodiments, the time interval may be agreed upon by a protocol or configured by the network device.

[0098] A112. The resource location of the first signal is outside the resources of the second signal, and is determined based on at least one of the resource location of the at least one second signal, the resource configuration information of the first signal, and the sequence information of the first signal.

[0099] In some embodiments, the resource location of the first signal is independent of the resource location of the second signal. In one embodiment, the terminal can determine the resource location of the first signal based on the resource configuration information of the first signal; that is, the resource location of the first signal is independently configured by the network device. In another embodiment, the terminal can also determine the resource location of the first signal based on the resource location of the second signal and the resource configuration information of the first signal. In this case, it can be understood that the resource configuration information of the first signal is partially determined by the resource location of the second signal and further determined by the resource configuration information of the first signal.

[0100] In some embodiments, the resource location of the first signal is outside the resource of the second signal, and is determined based on at least one of the resource location of the at least one second signal, resource configuration information of the first signal, and sequence information of the first signal, including at least one of B31-B33:

[0101] B31. The resource location of the first signal is determined based on the resource location of the associated second signal, and the resource location of one first signal is associated with the resource location of one second signal.

[0102] In some embodiments, the resource location of a first signal and the resource location of a second signal have a fixed time-domain offset in the time domain.

[0103] For example, the time-domain offset of the starting time slot and / or symbol position of the first signal resource from the time slot and / or the first OFDM symbol of the resource position of the second signal is T1; T1 includes at least one time-domain offset value, and the unit may be a time slot, OFDM symbol, millisecond, system frame number (SFN), slot, time-domain duration occupied by a first waveform symbol, MO of a first signal, etc.

[0104] B32. The resource location of the first signal is determined based on the resource location of at least one associated second signal or the resource location of at least one second signal under a resource group of the second signal;

[0105] In some embodiments, the resource location of the first signal and the resource location of the second signal under the resource group of the second signal have a fixed time-domain offset. For example, one of the following situations may exist:

[0106] Scenario 1: A resource location of a first signal is associated with a resource group of a second signal. The resource location of the first signal includes at least one receiving location of the first signal. The resource location of the first signal is determined based on at least one resource location in the associated resource group of the second signal. The determination method includes at least one of the following:

[0107] Method 1: In a resource of a first signal, there are K1 (K1>=1) consecutive transmission positions (or repeated transmission positions) of the first signal. The time domain offset of the starting time slot and / or symbol position of the resource of the first signal or the first transmission position of the first signal in the resource of the first signal from the time slot and / or the first OFDM symbol position of the target resource in the resource group of the second signal is T2.

[0108] In some embodiments, the target resource can be a resource at any position in a resource group, such as the first resource, the last resource, an intermediate resource, or a resource at another position in the resource group.

[0109] In some embodiments, T2 includes at least one time-domain offset value, the unit of which may be a time slot, OFDM symbol, millisecond, SFN, slot, the time-domain duration occupied by a first waveform symbol, the MO of a first signal, etc.

[0110] Method 2: The resources of a first signal include K1 (K1>=1) discontinuous transmission positions (or repeated transmission positions) of the first signal. The relationship between the resource positions of the first signal and the resource positions of the second signal includes at least one of the following:

[0111] Positional Relationship 1: The time-domain offset between the transmission positions or repeated transmission positions of adjacent first signals is T3 (T3 includes at least one time-domain offset value, the unit can be Slot, OFDM symbol, ms, SFN or others), slot, the time-domain duration occupied by a first waveform symbol, the MO of a first signal, and the method for determining the transmission position of the first first signal is the same as the method 1 above.

[0112] Position Relationship 2: The sending position or repeated transmission position of a first signal is associated with K2 resources in the resource group (K2>=1; the K2 resources can be resources with continuous time-domain resource positions or resources with discontinuous time-domain resource positions); the sending resource position of the first signal can be determined based on the first / middle / last / other positions of the associated K2 resources as reference points (which can be the time slot where the resource is located and / or the first OFDM symbol position of the resource) and the time-domain offset (T4) (T4 includes at least one time-domain offset value, the unit can be time slot, OFDM symbol, millisecond, SFN, slot, the time-domain duration occupied by a first waveform symbol, the MO of a first signal, etc.).

[0113] Scenario 2: A resource group of K3 (K3>=1) second signals is associated with the resources of a first signal. The resources of a first signal include K1 (K1>=1) transmission positions (or retransmission positions) of the first signal. The resource positions of the first signal are determined based on at least one resource position under at least one resource group. The determination method includes at least one of the following:

[0114] Method 1: In a resource of a first signal, there are K1 (K1>=1) consecutive transmission positions (or repeated transmission positions) of the first signal. The time domain offset of the starting time slot and / or symbol position of the first transmission position of the first signal in the resource of the first signal from the time slot and / or the first OFDM symbol position of the target resource in the target resource group is T5.

[0381] Method 2: A resource of a first signal is associated with at least one resource group of a second signal, and the resources of the first signal and at least one resource under the resource group have a fixed time-domain offset; including one of the following cases:

[0382] Scenario 1: A resource location of a first signal is associated with a resource group of a second signal. The resource location of the first signal includes at least one receiving location of the first signal. The resource location of the first signal is determined based on at least one resource location in the associated resource group of the second signal. The determination method includes at least one of the following:

[0383] Method 1: In a resource of a first signal, there are K1 (K1>=1) consecutive transmission positions (or repeated transmission positions) of the first signal.

[0391] In some embodiments, the target resource group can be any of the K3 resource groups, such as the first resource group, the middle resource group, the last resource group, or a resource group in other positions.

[0392] In some embodiments, the target resource can be a resource at any position in a resource group, such as the first resource, the last resource, an intermediate resource, or a resource at another position in the resource group.

The method for determining the transmission position of the first first signal is the same as the method 1 above.

[0396] Positional Relationship 2: The transmission position or retransmission position of a first signal is associated with K4 resource groups (K4>=1; K2 resource groups can be resource groups with continuous time-domain resource positions or resource groups with discontinuous time-domain resource positions); the transmission resource position of the first signal can be determined based on any resource in the first / middle / last / other positions of the associated K2 resource groups as a reference point (which can be the time slot where the resource is located and / or the position of the first OFDM symbol of the resource) and the time-domain offset T5 (T5 includes at least one time-domain offset value, the unit of which can be time slot, OFDM symbol, millisecond, SFN, slot, the time-domain duration occupied by a first waveform symbol, the MO of a first signal, etc.).

[0397] For example, the resources of the first signal are associated with multiple resource groups of the second signal, and the time slot offset of the resources of the first signal from the first resource of each resource group is 1 millisecond.

[0398] For example, as shown in Figure 3, the resource of each first signal has a specific offset from the first resource in the resource group of its associated second signal. The specific offsets corresponding to the resources of each first signal can be the same or different.

[0399] Method 3: A resource of a first signal is associated with at least one resource in the same beam direction. The resource location of the first signal is determined based on the location of at least one resource in the same beam direction, including one of the following determination methods:

[0400] Method 1: The resources of a first signal are associated with the resources of all second signals and / or the resource group of the second signals under the same beam direction. The resources of a first signal include at least one receiving position of the first signal. The position of the first signal resource is determined based on the associated at least one resource position. The determination method is the same as that of Method 1 above.

[0401] Method 2: The resources of a first signal are associated with K5 (K5>=1) resource groups or resources under the same beam direction.

The resource positions of the first signal are determined based on at least one resource position under at least one resource group. The determination method is the same as that of Method 2 above.

[0402] Step S43: The terminal receives the first signal at the resource location of the first signal determined in step S42, and the reception information of the first signal is determined based on the reception information of the third signal; if the terminal receives the first signal, it determines that there is a second signal being transmitted on the associated resource.

[0403] In some embodiments, the waveform parameters of the first signal and the waveform parameters of the third signal are the same, including the OOK type (OOK-1, OOK-4 or others) and / or the number M of OOK symbols transmitted on one OFDM symbol:

[0404] The resource location of the first signal in the resource is determined based on the sequence length L of the third signal and the value of M of the second signal. The resource duration of the first signal is (L / M) OFDM symbols.

[0405] The generation sequence of the first signal is determined by looking up Table 2 based on M and L.

[0406] In some embodiments, the sequence of the first signal and the sequence of the third signal are the same.

[0407] It should be noted that the embodiments of this disclosure improve the sensitivity of the terminal to time-frequency offset when receiving the second signal in different scenarios (the third signal has a longer period and a larger M value), thereby improving the receiving performance of the second signal; the resource location and sequence of the first signal are implicitly determined based on the configuration of the second and third signals, thereby reducing the configuration signaling overhead of the base station.
