Description

Data transmission method and related equipment

Technical field

The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a data transmission method and related devices.

Background technique

The standardization organization 3GPP launched the New RAT (NR) SI project in the first half of 2016, which is aimed at the fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5th-Generation, 5G), including physical layer signal design, high-level network segmentation, and signaling process. Design and a series of studies. The New RAT (NR) study can eliminate the need to consider backward compatibility with the long-term evolution of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system. Instead, it can be based on predictions of future technology trends in the technical solution. In the design, add some forward compatibility considerations. In addition, the frequency band coverage of NR research is wider, and it is hoped to establish a unified air interface technology framework in sub-6GHz (0-6GHz) and above-6GHz (6-100GHz). As part of this technical framework, in the current stage of NR standardization, research and discussion on high frequency beamforming techniques for dense scenes has been carried out in the frequency band around 30 GHz.

Beamforming technology has been discussed in LTE. If the antenna array is a line array or a planar array, then based on a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) codebook, the transmitting end can generate a beam with good main lobe directionality. In the discussion in NR, it is generally believed that beamforming should be performed on both the base station side and the terminal side to obtain array gain. Based on this, in the discussion of NR, the concept of Beam Pair Link (BPL) is established, and one BPL represents the pairing of one base station side beam and one terminal side beam. The establishment of BPL is based on the beam management process. The beam management process is a series of processes based on the transmission and measurement of reference signals to obtain uplink and downlink beam pairing information. Generally, the BPL information is managed on the base station side, and the terminal is notified by signaling.

However, the traditional LTE uplink definition, in the process of designing the simultaneous transmission of the control channel and the data channel, does not involve a beam management process for the low frequency band design, and the antenna array gain is low.

In 3G (such as Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-) The SCDMA) system may be referred to as a base station (NodeB, NB), or may also be referred to as an evolved Node B (eNB) or the like in the LTE system.

Embodiment 1:

Referring to FIG. 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a schematic flowchart of a data transmission method, where the method includes but is not limited to the following steps:

S201. The terminal sends physical layer control information by using a first multi-antenna transmission mode.

S202. The terminal sends physical layer data information by using a second multi-antenna transmission mode.

The embodiment of the present application uses the "first" and the "second" to distinguish the multi-antenna transmission mode used by the terminal to transmit the physical layer control information and the physical layer data information, and the multi-antenna transmission mode may be a mode for transmitting data through multiple antennas. It can be understood that the first multi-antenna transmission mode and the second multi-antenna transmission mode may be the same multi-antenna transmission mode, or may be different multi-antenna transmission modes, which are not limited herein. In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the first multi-antenna transmission mode and the second multi-antenna transmission mode may be jointly based on the same beam pairing set output by the same beam management process, and the beam pairing set may include a paired terminal side beam. Alternatively, the paired terminal side beam and the paired network device side beam.

Exemplarily, the beam management process may include the following steps:

Step 11): The terminal sends an uplink beam measurement reference signal to the network device.

Step 12): The network device performs corresponding receiving strength calculation and beam selection (ie, determining the paired terminal side beam) based on the uplink beam measurement reference signal and the matched downlink receiving beam.

Step 13) The network device sends beam indication information to the terminal, where the beam indication information includes the determined paired terminal side beam.

Step 14): The terminal receives beam indication information sent by the network device.

For example, the terminal sends four uplink beam measurement reference signals (uplink beam measurement reference signals 1, 3, 4, and 8) to the network device, and the network device performs based on the four uplink beam measurement reference signals and the matched downlink receive beams. Corresponding receiving strength calculations, determining uplink beams 1, 3 and 8 whose receiving strength is greater than a preset intensity threshold from the four uplink beam measurement reference signals, that is, determining the paired terminal side beams 1, 3 and 8.

The first multi-antenna transmission mode and the second multi-antenna transmission mode may jointly transmit physical layer control information and physical respectively based on the paired terminal-side beams 1, 3, and 8 output by the beam management flow of the above steps 11) to 14) Layer data information.

Exemplarily, the beam management process may include the above steps 11) to 14) and the following steps:

Step 21): The network device sends a downlink beam measurement reference signal to the terminal.

Step 22) The terminal performs corresponding receiving strength calculation and beam selection (ie, determining a paired network device side beam) based on the downlink beam measurement reference signal and the matched uplink receiving beam.

For example, the network device sends four downlink beam measurement reference signals (downlink beam measurement reference signals 1, 2, 3, and 4) to the terminal, and the terminal responds according to the four downlink beam measurement reference signals and the matched uplink receiving beams. The received strength calculation determines the downlink beams 1 and 2 whose received strength is greater than the preset intensity threshold from the four downlink beam measurement reference signals, that is, determines the paired network device side beams 1, 2, and 3. It can be seen that the sequence numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the beam are actually the sequence numbers of the downlink measurement reference signals.

The first multi-antenna transmission mode and the second multi-antenna transmission mode may be based on the paired terminal-side beams 1, 3 and 8 and the beam management flow output of step 11) to step 14) and step 21), step 22) The paired network device side beams 1, 2, and 3 respectively transmit physical layer control information and physical layer data information.

Further, in the foregoing step, the network device may send the beam indication information to the terminal by using high layer signaling, such as a radio resource control message. In order to reduce the signaling overhead, the paired terminal side beam may be a semi-static configuration.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present application, the multi-antenna transmission mode used for data transmission is based on beam pairing output by the beam management process, the antenna array gain is improved, and the paired beam transmission determined by the beam management process is performed. Improve the reliability of data transmission. In addition, the transmission of the physical layer control information and the physical layer data information share the beam pairing output by the same beam management process, thereby avoiding beam pairing of the physical layer control information and the physical layer data information by using one beam management process, thereby reducing data transmission. The delay and the reliability of the physical layer control information transmission are greater than the reliability of the physical layer data information transmission.

Embodiment 2:

Based on the same beam pairing set output by the same beam management process according to the first embodiment, step S201 may be: the terminal is on each Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol in the first region. The loop uses the paired terminal side beams in the beam pairing set to transmit physical layer control information. Step S202 may be: the terminal generates a physical layer data information by transmitting a beam of the terminal side with the number of transmission layers M based on the beam of the terminal side in the beam pairing set in the second area, where M is greater than zero and less than or equal to the paired terminal. A positive integer of the number of beams on the side.

The first area may be an area that occupies the physical layer control information of the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block that is scheduled to be sent to the terminal, and the second area may occupy an area of the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block that is scheduled to be sent to the terminal to send physical layer data information. . Optionally, the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block that is allocated to the terminal by the first area and the second area may be the same time-frequency resource block that is continuous in both the time domain and the frequency domain, and the first area And the second area is on the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block, the time domain is the same, the frequency domain is different, and the first area and the second area are adjacent in the frequency domain.

Specifically, when the terminal is in the connected state, the network device may notify the configuration of the waveform of the terminal by using high-level signaling, such as a radio resource control message, or when the terminal is in an idle state, the network device may pass the message2 in the random access process. Notify the configuration of the terminal waveform. If the network device notifies the terminal that the waveform is a cyclic prefixed orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) waveform, the network device may send the first configuration information to the terminal, where the first configuration information may indicate the first The area occupies a subband width of an uplink transmission time-frequency resource block that is scheduled to be sent to the terminal, and the terminal receives the first configuration information. The first area may be an area of the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block, and the sub-band width is an area of the sub-band width indicated by the first configuration information, where the second area may be in the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block, except The area outside the first area; or the first area may be the center position of the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block, the sub-band width is the area of the sub-band width indicated by the first configuration information, and the second area may be the uplink transmission In the time-frequency resource block, an area other than the first area, and the like. At this time, the first area and the second area are on the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block, the time domain is the same, the frequency domain is different, and the first area and the second area are adjacent in the frequency domain.

For example, a schematic diagram of a first area and a second area shown in FIG. 3A, where the entire area shown in FIG. 3A is an uplink transmission time-frequency resource block scheduled by the network device, if the terminal receives the first configuration. The information indicates that the first area occupies the sub-band width of the time-frequency resource block is delta_1, and the unit of the delta_1 is a physical resource block (PRB). As shown in the left side of FIG. 3A, the first area may be the uplink. The area where the subband width is delta_1 at the edge of the transmission time-frequency resource block, and the second area is the area of the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block except the first area; or, as shown in the right side of FIG. 3A, the first area may be The area of the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block at the center of the sub-band width is delta_1, and the second area is an area of the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block except the first area.

Further, the network device may send the first configuration information to the terminal by using high-layer signaling, such as a radio resource control message, where the first area and the second area may be semi-statically configured through high-level signaling, thereby reducing physical layer control information and Transmission delay of physical layer data information.

On each OFDM symbol in the first region, the paired terminal side beams in the beam pairing set may be cyclically configured in a sequential order or in another order, such as random, etc., and the terminal may be configured in the first region. The beam on each OFDM symbol transmits physical layer control information.

Further, the physical layer control information can be transmitted at a fixed rate.

For example, a schematic diagram of still another first region and a second region shown in FIG. 3B, the first region from left to right OFDM symbols: symbol 1 to symbol 14, may be cyclically configured with the pairing in the beam pairing set described above. Beams on the terminal side: beam 1, beam 3 and beam 8, ie, symbol 1 is configured with beam 1, symbol 2 is configured with beam 3, symbol 3 is configured with beam 8, symbol 4 is configured with beam 1, symbol 5 is configured with beam 3, symbol 6 is equipped with a beam 8, a symbol 7 is provided with a beam 1, a symbol 8 is configured with a beam 3, a symbol 9 is provided with a beam 8, a symbol 10 is provided with a beam 1, a symbol 11 is configured with a beam 3, a symbol 12 is provided with a beam 8, and a symbol 13 is arranged with Beam 1, symbol 14 configures beam 3.

Alternatively, on each OFDM symbol in the first region, the paired terminal side beams in the beam pairing set may be cyclically configured in a cyclic mode, and the terminal may use a beam configured on each OFDM symbol in the first region. The physical layer control information is sent. The loop mode may be as follows: x is a radio frame number, y is an ID number of the terminal, z is a symbol sequence number, k is a number of beams, and BeamID is a sequence number of the beam. Based on the analysis of the first embodiment, the sequence number of the beam is actually the sequence number of the downlink measurement reference signal.

f(x,y,z)∈{BeamID}

One specific implementation of the above f(x, y, z) is:

f(x,y,z)=mod(Ax+By+Cz+D,k)+1

Where {A, B, C, D} are integers unrelated to x, y, z. For example, assuming that A=3, B=2, C=1, D=0, on the first area shown in FIG. 3B, if the identification number of the terminal is y=1, the first area is If the radio frame number is x=3, the OFDM symbol 1 (z=1) in the first region may be configured as a beam 2 according to the above-mentioned cyclic pattern formula, that is,

f(x,y,z)=mod(3x+2y+z,k)+1=1

On the OFDM symbol 2 (z=2) in the first region, the configured beam is beam 2, ie:

f(x,y,z)=mod(3x+2y+z,k)+1=2

On the OFDM symbol 3 (z=3) in the first region, the configured beam is beam 2, ie:

f(x,y,z)=mod(3x+2y+z,k)+1=3

and many more.

It can be seen that the first region adopts the transmission diversity technology, which improves the quality of the physical layer control information transmission.

In the second region, the number of transmission layers M may be based on a first modulation and coding scheme (MCS), a first rank indication (RI), and one or more acknowledgements given by the network device. (Acknowledgement, ACK) or Non-Acknowledgement (NACK) information is determined.

The process of determining the number of the transmission layers M may be: the network device sends the first modulation coding indication information to the terminal, and the terminal receives the first modulation coding indication information, where the first modulation coding indication information includes the first MCS or the first RI The terminal receives the first MCS and the first RI. The first RI is a range of values of the second RI, and the first MCS is an initial value of the second MCS for each transport layer under each optional RI within a range of values defined by the first RI. Terminal will be the first The lower limit of the value range in the RI is determined as the initial value of the second RI, and the MCS of each transport layer in the second RI in the first MCS is determined as the initial value of the second MCS. When the number of ACK information received by the terminal is greater than the first preset threshold, the terminal may raise the second MCS, and the second RI does not change; or, when the number of ACK information received by the terminal is greater than the first preset The threshold may be that the terminal may raise the second RI and determine that the MCS of each transport layer corresponding to the new second RI in the first MCS is the second MCS, and the second RI is the number M of transport layers.

The terminal may generate the physical layer data information based on the paired terminal side beam in the beam pairing set, the beam on the terminal side whose transmission layer number is the second RI, or the transmission rate is the rate corresponding to the second MCS. In addition, the terminal sends the second RI and the second MCS to the network device through the uplink physical control channel. In this way, the network device can receive the uplink physical control channel, determine the RI and MCS used for the uplink data transmission, and further decode the uplink data packet.

For example, the first MCS is 5, the first RI is 1 to 2, the initial value of the second RI may be the lower limit 1 of the value range in the first RI, and the initial value of the second MCS may be the first MCS, when the terminal receives When the number of ACK information is greater than the first preset threshold, the terminal may raise the second MCS, for example, increase the second MCS to 6, and the second RI may still be the initial value, if the beam pairing set is used. The paired terminal side beams are beams 1, 3, and 8, and the terminal may transmit physical layer data information through one of the beams 1, 3, and 8 at a rate corresponding to the second MCS=6; or, when the terminal When the number of received ACK information is greater than the first preset threshold, the terminal may also raise the second RI, for example, to 2, and the MCS of each transport layer under the second RI may be the initial of the second MCS. The value 5 does not change and can be lowered. For example, if the paired terminal-side beams in the beam pairing set are beams 1, 3, and 8, the terminal may pass any two of the beams 1, 3, and 8, and the two beams may all be initialized with the second MCS. The physical layer data information is sent at a rate corresponding to the value of 5, or one of the two beams transmits physical layer data information at a rate corresponding to the second MCS of 4, and the other beam transmits the physical layer at a rate corresponding to the second MCS. Data information.

It can be understood that the second RI, that is, the number of transmission layers M of the physical layer data information sent by the terminal side, may be greater than zero and less than or equal to the paired terminal side beams in the beam pairing set described in Embodiment 1.

Optionally, the second area may also be divided into multiple sub-bands in order to meet the requirements of different sub-bands in the second area for quality of service (QoS). Each of the plurality of subbands divided by the second region may have a different number of transmission layers and an MCS corresponding to each number of transmission layers, and the terminal may generate each subband based on the paired terminal side beams in the beam pairing set. Transmitting the physical layer data information on the terminal side of the number of transmission layers and the MCS corresponding to each transmission layer number; or, among the plurality of sub-bands divided by the second area, each of the sub-bands may have different The number of transmission layers and the number of MCSs corresponding to the number of transmission layers, the terminal may generate a beam on the terminal side of the number of transmission layers of each subband based on the paired terminal side beams in the beam pairing set, and corresponding to each transmission layer number The MCS transmits physical layer data information, and each of the OFDM symbols in another partial sub-band is configured with one of the above-mentioned beam pairing sets, and the terminal may transmit by using a beam configured on each OFDM symbol in the first region. Physical layer data information; or, in the plurality of subbands divided by the second region, each OFDM symbol in each subband is configured in the beam pairing set Wave-side terminals, the terminal configuration may be adopted data beam transmitter physical layer information on each OFDM symbol in the first region. It should be noted that the second MCS and the second RI on each subband, and the configuration of each subband, are sent to the network device through a physical uplink control channel. In this way, the network device can receive the uplink physical control channel, determine the RI and MCS used for the uplink data transmission, and the sub-bands divided by the uplink transmission, thereby implementing decoding of the uplink data packet.

The network device may transmit the area division of the second area by using high layer signaling, such as a radio resource control message transmission. Information, in order to reduce the overhead of signaling, the division of the subbands in the second region may be a semi-static configuration.

For example, on the basis of FIG. 3B, the second region shown in FIG. 3C divides two sub-bands, sub-band 1 and sub-band 2, and sub-band 1 and sub-band 2 have the same time domain and different frequency domains.

It can be seen that the first region of the embodiment of the present application adopts a diversity technology, the diversity technology improves the quality of the physical layer control information transmission, and the second region adopts a spatial multiplexing technology, which improves the number of physical layer data information transmission.

Embodiment 3:

Based on the same beam pairing set output by the same beam management process according to the first embodiment, the step S201 may be: the terminal uses the paired terminal side beam in the beam pairing set to cycle on each OFDM symbol in the first area. Send physical layer control information. Step S202 may be: the terminal generates a physical layer data information by transmitting a beam of the terminal side with the number of transmission layers M based on the paired terminal side beams in the beam pairing set in the second area, where M is greater than zero and less than or equal to the pairing. The number of beams on the terminal side.

The first area may be an area that occupies the physical layer control information of the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block that is scheduled to be sent to the terminal, and the second area may occupy an area of the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block that is scheduled to be sent to the terminal to send physical layer data information. . Optionally, the first area and the second area are on the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block, the frequency domain is the same, the time domain is different, and the first area and the second area are adjacent in the time domain.

Specifically, when the terminal is in the connected state, the network device may notify the configuration of the waveform of the terminal by using high-level signaling, such as a radio resource control message, or when the terminal is in an idle state, the network device may pass the message2 in the random access process. Notify the configuration of the terminal waveform. If the network device notifies the terminal that the waveform is a Discrete Fourier Transform Spreading Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) waveform, the network device may send the second configuration information to the terminal, where the The second configuration information may indicate that the first area occupies the number of OFDM symbols of the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block scheduled to the terminal, and the terminal receives the second configuration information. The first area may be an area of the left edge of the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block, where the number of OFDM symbols is the number of OFDM symbols indicated by the second configuration information, and the second area may be the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block, An area other than the first area, and the like. At this time, the first area and the second area are on the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block, the frequency domain is the same, the time domain is different, and the first area and the second area are adjacent in the time domain.

For example, a schematic diagram of still another first area and a second area shown in FIG. 4A, the entire area shown in FIG. 4A is an uplink transmission time-frequency resource block scheduled by the network device for the terminal, and if the terminal receives the second The configuration information indicates that the number of OFDM symbols occupied by the first area occupying the time-frequency resource block is symbol_1, as shown in FIG. 4A, the first area may be the left edge of the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block, and the number of OFDM symbols is symbol_1 The area, the second area may be an area of the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block except the first area.

Further, the network device may send the first configuration information to the terminal by using high-layer signaling, such as a radio resource control message, where the first area and the second area may be semi-statically configured through the high-level information. It can be seen that, in the implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the scheduling of the first area and the second area can share a set of uplink resource scheduling signaling, which reduces the transmission delay of the physical layer control information and the physical layer data information.

As in the first embodiment, on each OFDM symbol in the first region, a pair of terminal beam beams in the pair of beam pairings may be cyclically configured in a sequential order or in another order, such as random, etc.; or The paired terminal side beams in the above beam pairing set are cyclically arranged in a cyclic mode. The terminal can be configured in The beam on each OFDM symbol in the first region transmits physical layer control information. I will not repeat them here.

For example, a schematic diagram of still another first region and a second region shown in FIG. 4B, the first region from left to right OFDM symbols: symbol 1 to symbol 4, may be sequentially configured with paired terminals in the beam pairing set described above Beams on the side: Beam 1, Beam 3, and Beam 8, that is, symbol 1 is configured with beam 1, symbol 2 is configured with beam 3, symbol 3 is configured with beam 8, and symbol 4 is configured with beam 1.

Optionally, the first area may be further divided into multiple sub-bands, and the paired terminal side beams in the beam pairing set are respectively configured on different OFDM symbols of the same sub-band.

The OFDM symbol 3 can be configured with the paired terminal side beam 8 in the beam pairing set, and the OFDM symbol 4 in the subband 1 can be configured with the paired terminal side beam 1 and subband 2 in the beam pairing set. The OFDM symbol 1 can be configured with the paired terminal side beam 3 and the like in the above beam pairing set.

In the second region, the number of transmission layers M may be determined based on a first modulation and coding parameter MCS, a first rank indication RI, and one or more acknowledgement ACKs or non-determined NACK information given by the network device. For the method for determining the number of the transmission layers, refer to the related description of the first embodiment, and details are not described herein again.

Optionally, in order to meet the requirements of different sub-bands for quality of service QoS in the second region, the second region may also be divided into multiple sub-bands. Each of the plurality of subbands divided by the second region may have a different number of transmission layers and an MCS corresponding to each number of transmission layers, and the terminal may generate each subband based on the paired terminal side beams in the beam pairing set. Transmitting the physical layer data information on the terminal side of the number of transmission layers and the MCS corresponding to each transmission layer number; or, among the plurality of sub-bands divided by the second area, each of the sub-bands may have different The number of transmission layers and the number of MCSs corresponding to the number of transmission layers, the terminal may generate a beam on the terminal side of the number of transmission layers of each subband based on the paired terminal side beams in the beam pairing set, and corresponding to each transmission layer number The MCS transmits physical layer data information, and each of the OFDM symbols in another partial sub-band is configured with one of the above-mentioned beam pairing sets, and the terminal may transmit by using a beam configured on each OFDM symbol in the first region. Physical layer data information; or, in the plurality of subbands divided by the second region, each OFDM symbol in each subband is configured in the beam pairing set Wave-side terminals, the terminal configuration may be adopted data beam transmitter physical layer information on each OFDM symbol in the first region.

For example, on the basis of FIG. 4C, the second region shown in FIG. 4D divides two sub-bands, sub-band 1 and sub-band 2, and sub-band 1 and sub-band 2 have the same time domain and different frequency domains.

The network device may transmit the split information of the area in the second area by using the high-layer signaling, such as the RRC message. To reduce the signaling overhead, the sub-band division in the second area may be a semi-static configuration.

It should be noted that, according to the foregoing, the first area and the second area of the uplink transmission time-frequency resource block that are allocated to the terminal and are consecutive in the time domain and the frequency domain, the first area and the second area The transmission process on the area has a high similarity and can overcome the requirement of the power control path loss.
