Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to examples.
As described above, in order to support a terminal whose number of transmission antennas is less than that of reception antennas, the NR designs an SRS antenna switching transmission scheme so that downlink channel information can be obtained by using channel reciprocity.
For example, for a terminal with 2T4R capability, in Release 15 (R15, Release 15)/Release 16 (16, Release 16), the base station is configured with at most 2 SRS resource sets for the terminal; each SRS resource set comprises two SRS resources which are transmitted in different symbols; there are two SRS ports per SRS resource.
The base station sends the SRS resource set configuration to the terminal; and the terminal performs SRS transmission according to the SRS resource set configuration.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of antenna switching for a terminal having 2T4R capability; as shown in fig. 1, when the terminal needs to transmit the SRS, one of the SRSs is transmitted from two antenna ports of the terminal, and the other SRS is transmitted from the other two antenna ports of the terminal. Since the terminal with 2T4R capability has two transmission radio frequency channels, the terminal needs to perform physical antenna switching before transmitting one SRS to another SRS.
In Release 17 (R17, Release 16) multiple-in-multiple-out (MIMO) WID, it is proposed that SRS antenna switching needs to support an xTyR-capable terminal, where x denotes the number of transmission ports (i.e., transmission channels) and y denotes the number of reception ports (i.e., reception channels); x is {1,2,4} and y is {6,8 }. However, for the terminal of 4T6R, the number of transmission channels and the number of reception channels are not integer multiples, and the SRS antenna switching configuration method in R15/16 cannot be used. Therefore, how does the base station need to configure SRS for such terminals for antenna switching?
Based on the above problem, in the method provided in the embodiments of the present invention, a base station configures an SRS resource set for antenna switching; the terminal carries out SRS transmission according to SRS resource set configuration for antenna switching; wherein the SRS resource set includes: n SRS resources; and N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.
Fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a reference signal configuration method according to an embodiment of the present invention; as shown in fig. 2, the method is applied to a first communication device, which may be a base station, such as an NR; the method may include:
the set of SRS resources comprising: n SRS resources; and N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.
In an embodiment, before the step 201, the method further includes: and receiving an SRS configuration request sent by the terminal.
And the base station configures an SRS resource set for antenna switching according to the SRS configuration request.
The SRS configuration request includes: the antenna capability of the terminal; the method specifically comprises the following steps: the number of transmission ports (or transmission channels), the number of reception ports (or reception channels).
That is, the base station determines which xTyR capability the terminal has (x ═ {1,2,4}, y ═ 6,8}) based on the first information, that is, the base station determines specific x and y values.
For the case where x is 4 and y is 6 (x and y are not evenly divisible), that is, the terminal having the capability of 4 sending ports 6 receiving ports (4T6R), the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be applied.
An embodiment of the configuration is provided, where the N SRS resources include: a first SRS resource and a second SRS resource;
the first SRS resource includes: at least two first ports; the second SRS resource comprising: at least two second ports.
Specifically, the first SRS resource includes: four SRS ports; the second SRS resource comprising: four SRS ports.
Further, the antenna capability of the terminal is that the number of the transmitting ports (i.e., transmitting antennas) is 4, and the number of the receiving ports (i.e., receiving antennas) is 6, that is, the terminal is 4T 6R; that is, the set of SRS resources is for six antenna ports;
the first set of SRSs comprising: a first port combination; the first port combination comprises: four first SRS ports selected from the six antenna ports;
the second set of SRSs comprising: a second port combination; the second port combination comprises: four second SRS ports selected from the six antenna ports;
selecting the second port combination from at least one port combination to be selected through configuration of Radio Resource Control (RRC), media Access Control (MAC CE) or Downlink Control signaling (DCI);
and each port combination to be selected and the first port combination have at least one different port.
Specifically, the 6 antenna ports of the terminal are represented as: p ═ P0,p1,p2,p3,p4,p5}; the correspondence between 4 SRS ports (ports) of the first SRS resource (referred to as SRS resource #1) and 4 physical antenna ports can be expressed as: p1＝{p0,p1,p2,p3}；P1Namely the first port combination;
and the correspondence relationship between the 4 SRS ports and the 4 physical antenna ports of the second SRS resource (referred to as SRS resource #2) can be represented as one of the following: p2＝{p0,p1,p4,p5}、P2＝{p0,p2,p4,p5}、P2＝{p0,p3,p4,p5}、P2＝{p1,p2,p4,p5}、P2＝{p1,p3,p4,p5}、P2＝{p2,p3,p4,p5}；P2I.e. the above-mentioned candidate port combinations.
Here, 4 SRS ports refer to logical ports, and 4 physical antenna ports refer to actual antenna ports; the correspondence represents a correspondence between the logical port and the actual antenna port.
The specific SRS resource #2 adopts which antenna port combination, and the base station can decide through RRC, MAC CE or DCI configuration. For example, the configuration parameters Indicator 1,2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 correspond to the above 6 combinations, respectively.
Meanwhile, there are 2 ports between SRS resource #1 and SRS resource #2, which are repeated, and the repeated ports can be represented as: p ═ P1∩P2(ii) a P' includes two SRS ports corresponding to the same antenna port. The base station may determine Channel State Information (CSI) corresponding to two repeated ports in P' according to the received SRS transmitted based on the 2 SRS resources, respectively.
Specifically, the method further comprises:
determining Channel State Information (CSI) corresponding to the same port of the at least two first ports and the at least two second ports based on the first SRS and the second SRS; wherein the first SRS is transmitted based on the at least two first ports; the second SRS is transmitted based on the at least two second ports.
Specifically, the terminal receives the SRS resource set transmitted by the base station, and transmits the SRS according to the SRS port configured in the SRS resource set. The base station may determine CSI corresponding to the repeated ports (i.e., the 2 antenna ports in P') according to the received 2 SRSs. Specifically, the method may be implemented based on a preset algorithm, for example, two CSI are respectively calculated according to two received SRSs, and the two calculated CSIs are combined (for example, averaging processing).
Thus, the base station can fully utilize the signals sent by the 2 SRS resources on the two same antenna ports, and obtain more accurate and stable channel estimation for the two physical antenna ports.
For example, the base station indicates to the terminal through RRC, MAC CE, or DCI configuration parameter Indicator 1, and the terminal makes the corresponding relationship between 4 SRS ports of SRS resource #2 and 4 physical antenna ports P2＝{p0,p1,p4,p5}. The terminal transmits SRS based on SRS resource #1 and SRS based on SRS resource #2 to the base station, and the base station receives the two SRS and then transmits the SRS from p0、p1And combining the CSI obtained by the ports.
Another configuration embodiment is provided, in which the N SRS resources include: a third SRS resource and a fourth SRS resource; the third SRS resource comprising: at least two third ports; the fourth SRS resource including: at least two fourth ports;
the number of the third ports is integral multiple of the number of the fourth ports.
Specifically, the third SRS resource includes four SRS ports; the fourth SRS resource includes two SRS ports.
Specifically, the transmission power corresponding to the third SRS resource is an integer multiple of the transmission power corresponding to the fourth SRS resource.
Here, in consideration of SRS resource set level configuration transmission power related parameters in the related art, the transmission power of each SRS resource in the SRS resource set is the same; and, for the SRS resources larger than 1 SRS port, the transmission power of the SRS resources is equally divided over all SRS ports.
For the case that the number of the third ports is an integer multiple of the number of the fourth ports, in order to ensure that the base station side can fairly measure the channel quality corresponding to the 6 receiving antennas, it is necessary to ensure that the transmission power of each antenna is the same. That is, the transmission power of each SRS port of the third SRS resource and the fourth SRS resource is required to be the same.
Based on this, a method is provided in which the transmission power of a certain SRS resource is set to be half of another SRS resource so that the transmission power of each SRS port is the same. That is, the transmission power corresponding to the third SRS resource is an integer multiple of the transmission power corresponding to the fourth SRS resource.
The third SRS resource includes four SRS ports; the fourth SRS resource includes two SRS ports; the transmission power of the third SRS resource may be set as follows:
wherein, PCMAX,f,c(i) Representing a configured maximum output power of the terminal; pO_SRS,b,f,c(qs) Given by the higher layer parameter P0; mSRS,b,f,c(i) Represents the SRS bandwidth; alpha is alphaSRS,b,f,c(qs) Given by the high level parameter alpha；PLb,f,c(qd) Representing the downlink path loss; h isb,f,c(i, l) represents a power adjustment amount;μconfigured by Subcarrier spacing (SCS).

Specifically, for a terminal of 4T6R, the fifth SRS resource includes two SRS ports; the sixth SRS resource includes two SRS ports; the seventh SRS resource includes two SRS ports.
Each SRS port of the SRS resource is associated to a different antenna port of the terminal, that is, two SRS ports included in the fifth SRS resource, two SRS ports included in the sixth SRS resource, and two SRS ports included in the seventh SRS resource are associated to different antenna ports of the terminal, respectively.
According to the configuration method, each SRS resource is transmitted only by adopting two SRS ports (namely two antenna ports) of the terminal, so that energy is saved.
Specifically, for the power calculation of the SRS resources with the same number of SRS ports (that is, the number of first ports included in the first SRS resource is the same as the number of second ports included in the second SRS resource), that is, the power calculation of each SRS resource may directly adopt the following formula:

Here, in consideration of SRS resource set level configuration transmission power related parameters in the related art, the transmission power of each SRS resource in the SRS resource set is the same; and, for the SRS resources larger than 1 SRS port, the transmission power of the SRS resources is equally divided over all SRS ports.
For the case that the number of the third ports is an integer multiple of the number of the fourth ports, in order to ensure that the base station side can fairly measure the channel quality corresponding to the 6 receiving antennas, it is necessary to ensure that the transmission power of each antenna is the same. That is, the transmission power of each SRS port of the third SRS resource and the fourth SRS resource is required to be the same.
Based on this, a method is provided in which the transmission power of a certain SRS resource is set to be half of another SRS resource so that the transmission power of each SRS port is the same. That is, the transmission power corresponding to the third SRS resource is an integer multiple of the transmission power corresponding to the fourth SRS resource.
Specifically, each of the at least two SRS resources further includes: the corresponding transmission power of each SRS resource; the method further comprises the following steps: receiving a transmission power of the third SRS resource and a transmission power of the fourth SRS resource from a base station.
The calculation of the transmission power is specifically described in the method shown in fig. 2, and is not described herein again.
In another embodiment, the N SRS resources include: a fifth SRS resource, a sixth SRS resource, a seventh SRS resource;
the number of ports included in the fifth SRS resource, the number of ports included in the sixth SRS resource, and the number of ports included in the seventh SRS resource are equal, and the ports included in the fifth SRS resource, the ports included in the sixth SRS resource, and the ports included in the seventh SRS resource are respectively associated with different antenna ports of a terminal.
Specifically, the fifth SRS resource includes two SRS ports; the sixth SRS resource includes two SRS ports; the seventh SRS resource includes two SRS ports.
Each SRS port of the SRS resource is associated to a different antenna port of the terminal, that is, two SRS ports included in the fifth SRS resource, two SRS ports included in the sixth SRS resource, and two SRS ports included in the seventh SRS resource are associated to different antenna ports of the terminal, respectively.
According to the configuration method, each SRS resource is transmitted only by adopting two SRS ports (namely two antenna ports) of the terminal, so that energy is saved.
The related configuration of the SRS resource set is already described in the method shown in fig. 2, and is not repeated here.
The above method is further explained by taking a terminal with 4T6R capability as an example.
Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a first reference signal configuration method according to an embodiment of the present invention; as shown in fig. 4, the base station configures an SRS resource set (SRS resource set) for antenna switching for the terminal; wherein the SRS resource set comprises two SRS resources; the two SRS resources are respectively denoted as SRS resource #1 (equivalent to a first SRS resource) and SRS resource #2 (equivalent to a second SRS resource); both SRS resource #1 and SRS resource #2 have 4 ports.
Here, it is assumed that 6 antenna ports of the terminal are represented as: p ═ P0,p1,p2,p3,p4,p5}；
The correspondence between 4 SRS ports of SRS resource #1 and 4 antenna ports (physical layer) of the terminal can be expressed as: p1＝{p0,p1,p2,p3}；
Accordingly, the correspondence relationship between the 4 SRS ports of SRS resource #2 and the 4 antenna ports of the terminal may be represented as at least one of:
P2＝{p0,p1,p4,p5}、P2＝{p0,p2,p4,p5}、P2＝{p0,p3,p4,p5}、P2＝{p1,p2,p4,p5}、
P2＝{p1,p3,p4,p5}、P2＝{p2,p3,p4,p5}。
specifically, which antenna port combination is adopted by SRS resource #2, the base station can be determined by RRC, MAC CE or DCI configuration; for example, the configuration parameters Indicator 1,2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 correspond to the above 6 combinations, respectively. The base station indicates the terminal through RRC, MAC CE or DCI configuration parameter Indicator 1, and the terminal enables the corresponding relation of 4 SRS ports and 4 antenna ports of SRS resource #2 to be P according to the indication2＝{p0,p1,p4,p5}。
As can be seen from the figure, P at SRS resource #11P with SRS resource #22There are 2 port repetitions in between, and the repetition port can be expressed as: p ═ P1∩P2. The base station may calculate CSI (channel state information) corresponding to the 2 ports in P' according to the received 2 SRSs. Specifically, the terminal transmits SRS signal 1 (transmitted based on SRS resource #1) and SRS signal 2 (transmitted based on SRS resource #2) to the base station, and the base station calculates p after receiving the SRS0、p1The CSI corresponding to the port (p can be calculated from SRS signal 1 and SRS signal 2 respectively)0、p1The CSI obtained by the port is then p0、p1The CSI obtained by the ports is combined).
The base station fully utilizes the SRS sent by the 2 SRS resources on the two same physical antenna ports of the terminal to obtain more accurate and stable channel estimation for the two physical antenna ports of the terminal.
Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a first reference signal configuration method according to an embodiment of the present invention; as shown in fig. 5, each SRS resource set configured by the base station for the terminal for antenna switching has 2 SRS resources; here, SRS resource #3 (corresponding to the third SRS resource) has 4 SRS ports, and SRS resource #4 (corresponding to the fourth SRS resource) has 2 SRS ports.
4 SRS ports of SRS resource #3 correspond to 4 physical antenna ports of the terminal; the 2 SRS ports of SRS resource #4 correspond to the remaining 2 physical antenna ports of the terminal.
Further, in order to ensure that the base station side can fairly measure the channel quality corresponding to the 6 receiving antennas, it is necessary to ensure that the transmission power of each antenna port is the same.
Setting the transmission power of SRS resource #3 as:
wherein, PCMAX,f,c(i) Representing a configured maximum output power of the terminal; pO_SRS,b,f,c(qs) Given by the higher layer parameter P0; mSRS,b,f,c(i) Represents the SRS bandwidth; alpha is alphaSRS,b,f,c(qs) Given by the high level parameter alpha; PLb,f,c(qd) Representing the downlink path loss; h isb,f,c(i, l) represents a power adjustment amount;μconfigured by the SCS.
Setting the transmission power of SRS resource #4 as:
fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a first reference signal configuration method according to an embodiment of the present invention; as shown in fig. 6, each SRS resource set configured by the base station for the terminal to perform antenna switching has 3 SRS resources, and each of SRS resource #5 (corresponding to the fifth SRS resource), SRS resource #6 (corresponding to the sixth SRS resource), and SRS resource #7 (corresponding to the seventh SRS resource) has 2 SRS ports.
The 2 SRS ports of SRS resource #5, the 2 SRS ports of SRS resource #6, and the 2 SRS ports of SRS resource # are respectively associated with 2 antenna ports different from the terminal.
Assuming that the set of 6 antenna ports of a terminal is denoted as P, the sets of antenna ports of corresponding terminals, SRS resource #5, SRS resource #6, and SRS resource #7, are respectively denoted as P5、P6、P7Wherein the number of elements per antenna port set is 2, and P1∪P2∪P3＝P。
Although the SRS resource overhead is relatively large, the method needs to occupy 5 symbols to complete the transmission of antenna switching; and because only 2 antennas are adopted for transmission each time, the SRS transmission power is backed off by 3dB, and the accuracy of channel estimation is influenced.
In practical application, any one of the three methods can be selected to realize reference signal configuration based on needs, so as to realize SRS antenna switching.
