Description

Communication method and device

Technical field

The present application relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a communication method and device.

Background technique

Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is a network for machine type communication (MTC), and it is an important type of network in the future communication field. The Internet of Things communication is mainly used in smart meter reading, medical detection monitoring, logistics detection, industrial detection monitoring, vehicle networking, smart communities, and wearable device communication. In NB-IoT, when a terminal device has uplink data to transmit, the terminal device needs to request uplink resources from the base station; then the base station issues uplink transmission scheduling information according to the request of the terminal device; the terminal device schedules according to the uplink transmission scheduling information The uplink resource is used to transmit uplink data. Finally, the base station sends downlink control information (downlink control information) in a corresponding format according to the demodulation of the uplink data. The format of DCI includes DCI format N0 and DCI format N1.

Currently, research is being conducted to increase uplink scheduling-free transmission technology in NB-IoT. The uplink scheduling-free transmission can also be referred to as grant-free transmission or UpLink transmission pre-configured resources or transmission pre-configured UL resources. These are referred to as uplink free scheduling transmission. In the uplink scheduling-free transmission technology, the base station pre-configures uplink scheduling-free resources for the terminal device. When the terminal device has uplink data to transmit, the terminal device directly performs uplink data on the pre-configured uplink scheduling-free resource in accordance with a predetermined transmission method Transmission; the base station sends feedback information based on the demodulation of uplink data. It can be seen from the above process that, for the uplink scheduling-free transmission technology, the terminal device does not need to apply for uplink transmission resources to the base station, and does not need to wait for the base station to issue uplink transmission scheduling information, which reduces the signaling process, reduces power consumption delay, and reduces Advantages such as signaling overhead.

However, in the uplink scheduling-free transmission technology, after the base station configures uplink terminal scheduling-free resources for the terminal device, the base station does not know when the terminal device will perform uplink scheduling-free transmission through the uplink scheduling-free resource. For this reason, the base station needs to perform operations such as blind detection and blind decoding on each uplink scheduling-free resource, which results in high complexity of the blind detection of the base station and wastes power consumption of the base station.

To sum up, in the uplink scheduling-free transmission technology, how to reduce the blind detection complexity of the base station is an urgent problem to be solved.

It should be noted that the solutions in the embodiments of the present application can also be applied to other wireless communication networks, and the corresponding names can also be Substitute the names of corresponding functions in other wireless communication networks.

With reference to the foregoing description, as shown in FIG. 2, a schematic flowchart of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Referring to Figure 2, the method includes:

Step 201: The terminal device determines a first resource.

Step 202: When the terminal device determines to perform uplink data transmission through the second resource, determine the first instruction information for instructing the terminal device to perform uplink data transmission through the second resource, and send the first device to the network through the first resource. The device sends the first instruction information.

It should be noted that the second resource is a resource pre-configured by the network device. Before the terminal device performs uplink data transmission in the second resource, it does not need to request the network device to schedule the second resource for it. The application embodiment is not limited thereto, and details are not described herein again.

The first resource and the second resource may be on the same carrier or on different carriers.

The number of time units included in the second resource may be greater than, equal to, or less than the number of time units included in the first resource. The time unit may refer to a single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA) symbol or slot, a resource unit (RU), or a number of repetitions.

Step 203: The terminal device performs uplink data transmission through the second resource.

Step 204: When the network device receives, in the first resource, the first instruction information sent by the terminal device and used to instruct the terminal device to perform uplink data transmission through the second resource, the network device according to the first instruction information. It is determined that the terminal device performs uplink data transmission through the second resource.

Step 205: The network device receives the uplink data sent by the terminal device in the second resource, and demodulates the received uplink data.

In the above method flow, before transmitting the uplink data, the terminal device instructs the terminal device to perform uplink data transmission in the second resource by sending the first instruction information. Because the second resource is a scheduling-free resource pre-configured by the network device, the network device receives the first instruction information, and the network device determines whether the terminal device transmits uplink data in the second resource, thereby reducing the complexity of blind detection of the network device and the network. The power consumption of the device improves the efficiency of data transmission.

In the embodiment of the present application, there may be multiple scenarios whether the terminal device sends the first indication information. In the first possible scenario, the terminal device instructs the terminal device to send uplink data in the second resource only by sending the first instruction information before performing uplink data transmission through the second resource; accordingly, the terminal device When it is not necessary to perform uplink data transmission through the second resource, the first indication information is not sent.

In a second possible scenario, when the terminal device determines that it is not necessary to perform uplink data transmission through the second resource, it sends the first instruction information to instruct the terminal device not to perform uplink data transmission through the second resource. Correspondingly, when the terminal device determines that uplink data transmission needs to be performed through the second resource, it does not send the first instruction information, but directly performs uplink data transmission.

In a third possible scenario, the terminal device sends the first indication information regardless of whether uplink data transmission is performed through the second resource. Specifically, when a terminal device needs to perform uplink data transmission through the second resource, it sends the first instruction information to instruct the terminal device to perform uplink data transmission through the second resource; accordingly, the terminal device does not need to pass When the second resource performs uplink data transmission, sending the first instruction information instructs the terminal device not to perform uplink data transmission through the second resource.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first indication information may be configured according to carrier granularity, that is, one indication information is configured for each carrier. At this time, the first indication information is on carrier 1 and the second indication information is on carrier 2. An indication information; it can also be configured according to the coverage level granularity, that is, each coverage level is configured with an indication information, for example, NB-IoT has at most 3 coverage enhancement levels (coverage enhancement levels) 0, coverage enhancement level 1, coverage enhancement level 2), different first indication information can be configured for different coverage enhancement levels.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first indication information may be any one of the following or a combination of at least one of the following:

ZC (Zadoff-Chu) sequence; Gold sequence; M sequence; demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence; preamble.

For example, when the first indication information is a DMRS sequence, if the first resource includes L time units, the DMRS sequence may fill the L time units of the first resource in a repeated manner. The time unit may refer to a slot (slot) or a resource unit (RU) or a number of repetitions.

For example, when the first indication information is a preamble, in the current NB-IoT system, there may be multiple available preambles, and these preambles are divided into 2 or 3 orthogonal sets. If it is divided into 2 orthogonal sets, that is, when divided into

sets

1 and 2, the preamble in set 1 is used for random access, and the preamble in set 2 is used as the first indication information; it is divided into 3 orthogonal sets. , That is, when it is divided into set 1, set 2, and set 3: the preamble in set 1 is used for random access, the preamble in set 2 is used as the first indication information, and the preamble in set 3 is used for data early Transmission (early data transmission) (EDT).

Of course, the above is only an example, and the first indication information may also exist in other forms, which are not illustrated here one by one.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first indication information may further indicate at least one of the following information:

An identifier of the terminal device; a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) of the uplink data; a transport block size (TBS) of the uplink data; and a number of repetitions of the uplink data.

By indicating the identification of the terminal device, the network device can quickly determine the terminal device transmitting the uplink data, thereby reducing the complexity of blind detection of the network device and improving the detection efficiency of the uplink data. By indicating the MCS of the uplink data, the network device can directly determine the MCS of the uplink data, thereby reducing the complexity of blind detection of the network device and improving the demodulation efficiency of the uplink data. By indicating the TBS of the uplink data, the network device can determine the size of the uplink data transmitted by the terminal device, thereby reducing the complexity of the blind detection of the network device and improving the detection efficiency of the uplink data. By indicating the number of repetitions of uplink data, the complexity of blind detection of network equipment can be reduced, and the detection efficiency of uplink data by network equipment can be improved.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device determines that there may be multiple implementation manners for the first indication information, the first resource, and the second resource, which are respectively described below.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the order in which the terminal device determines the first resource, the first indication information, and the second resource is not limited, and details are not described herein again.

Manner 1: The network device sends first information, and the first information is used to indicate the first instruction information from at least one instruction information configured by the network device.

The terminal device may determine the first instruction information from at least one instruction information configured by the network device according to the first information.

How the network device configures the at least one indication information is not limited in this embodiment of the present application, and details are not described herein again.

Manner 2: The terminal device selects one piece of instruction information from at least one piece of instruction information configured by the network device as the first instruction information.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may randomly select one of the indication information as the first indication information, or may select the first indication information by other methods, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application, and is not repeated here.

Method 3: In the embodiment of the present application, the network device may configure at least one resource for the terminal device in advance, and each resource of the at least one resource is associated with one indication information. The second resource used by the terminal device to transmit uplink data is selected from the at least one resource, and the at least one resource is an uplink scheduling-free transmission resource and is used by the terminal device for uplink data transmission.

The terminal device may determine a second resource from the at least one resource, and use the indication information associated with the second resource as the first indication information.

It should be noted that how the terminal device determines the second resource will be described in detail later, and will not be repeated here.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may determine the second resource according to any one of the following methods.

Manner 1: The terminal device receives second resource configuration information sent by a network device; the second resource configuration information indicates at least one resource used for uplink data transmission;

Further, optionally, the second information may also indicate a resource type of the second resource; the resource type includes a dedicated resource and a shared resource; the exclusive resource is Within the cell of the network device, a resource exclusive to one terminal device is allocated, and the shared resource is a resource shared by at least two terminal devices in the cell of the network device.

An exclusive resource, that is, a network device allocates the resource to only one terminal device, and no conflict occurs.

The terminal device determines the resource type of the second resource through the second instruction information, and then can determine whether the second resource is allocated to other terminal devices at the same time, and the terminal device can adjust the transmission mode to achieve more efficient transmission. For example, if the resource type of the second resource is a shared resource, conflicts may occur, and the terminal device may choose to send uplink data with a low bit rate and a high number of repetitions to improve the reliability of data transmission; correspondingly, If the resource type of the second resource is an exclusive resource, the terminal device may choose to send the uplink data with a high bit rate and a low number of repetitions to reduce resource overhead and power consumption.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the network device is configured with at least one resource in advance, the at least one resource may be explicitly indicated, or the at least one resource may be implicitly indicated. For example, the network device can indicate a resource and the maximum number of repetitions. The terminal device can split the maximum number of repetitions according to the dichotomy, obtain multiple repetitions after the split, and determine the number of repetitions Corresponding resources. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the network device indicates resource # 1, and the maximum number of repetitions is 128. According to the dichotomy, 128 can be split into two 64 and four 32; then the resource corresponding to each repetition is determined, that is, the number of multiple transmissions corresponding to resource # 2, resource # 3 is 64; resource # 4, resource The number of multiple transmissions corresponding to # 5, resource # 6, and resource # 7 is 32. Therefore, the network device indicates a total of 7 resources, and each resource corresponds to a repetition number.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, if uplink data occupies T resource units (RUs) and the number of repetitions is K, then the second resource includes K * T RUs, and T is an integer greater than or equal to 1. . One RU includes at least one slot in the time domain, and each slot includes seven single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA) symbols.

In the embodiment of the present application, the second resource configuration information may be sent through system information, or may be sent through radio resource control (radio resource control (RRC) signaling), which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. Among them, the system information may be a master information block (MIB) or a system information block (SIB).

Manner 2: In the embodiment of the present application, each of the at least one resource indicated by the network device through the second resource configuration information is associated with one indication information, and thus the terminal device may determine the second resource according to the association relationship.

Specifically, the terminal device may first determine the first indication information, and use the resource associated with the first indication information among the at least one resource as the second resource.

For how the terminal device determines the first indication information, refer to the foregoing description, and details are not described herein again.

Manner 3: The terminal device receives second resource configuration information sent by a network device; the second resource configuration information indicates at least one resource used for uplink data transmission. The terminal device selects one resource from the at least one resource as the second resource, and uses the indication information associated with the second resource as the first indication information.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may randomly select one resource as the second resource, or may select the second resource by other methods.

For example, a correspondence between a transport block size (TBS) required for uplink data and each resource in the at least one resource is established in advance, and the terminal device may select one of the at least one resource and the corresponding resource. The resource corresponding to the TBS required for the uplink data is used as the second resource. For example, each resource in the at least one resource corresponds to a different TBS value range. When TBS is in the first value range, it corresponds to one of the at least one resource. When TBS is in the second value range, Corresponding to another one of the at least one resource, and so on. After the terminal device determines the TBS, determines a value range in which the TBS is located, and then uses a resource corresponding to the value range among the at least one resource as the second resource.

For another example, a correspondence relationship between reference signal receiving power (RSRP) and each resource in the at least one resource is established in advance, and the terminal device selects one of the at least one resource and the terminal device from the at least one resource. A resource corresponding to the measured RSRP is used as the second resource. Correspondingly, each of the at least one resource corresponds to a different RSRP value range. After the terminal device determines the RSRP, determines a value range in which the RSRP is located, and then uses a resource corresponding to the value range among the at least one resource as the second resource.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may determine the first resource according to any one of the following methods.

Method 1: When there is no association between the first resource and the second resource, the first resource may be indicated by the network device through signaling. For example, the network device may send the first resource configuration information to the terminal device; the first resource configuration The information is used to indicate the first resource. The terminal device can thus determine the first resource according to the first resource configuration information.

Manner 2: When there is an association relationship between the first resource and the second resource, the association relationship between the first resource and the second resource may be established in advance, so that the terminal device may use the pre-configured resources associated with the second resource as all resources. Said the first resource.

In this implementation manner, each of the at least one resource may be associated with the same pre-configured resource. At this time, in this case, regardless of which one of the at least one resource the terminal device selects, it is the same. Sending the first indication information on the first resource of. The indication information used by different terminal devices can be distinguished by a code division multiplexing method.

Through the above method, multiple terminal devices can reuse the same first resource, thereby improving resource utilization. At the same time, the location of the first resource can be agreed in advance between the network device and the terminal device, so that it is not necessary to indicate the first resource through signaling, and the signaling overhead is reduced.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, at least one resource indicated by the network device through the second resource configuration information is: resource # 1, resource # 2, resource # 3, and resource # 4, which are all the same pre-configured resource Association, that is, the first resources associated with resource # 1, resource # 2, resource # 3, and resource # 4 are the same.

In the embodiment of the present application, when each of the at least one resource is associated with the same pre-configured resource, that is, each resource is associated with the same first resource, in a possible implementation manner, in the time domain, the The first resource may be a resource corresponding to N time units, and a time interval with the first reference position may be a first preset time interval, N is an integer greater than 0; the first reference position is the at least one The start position of the resource with the earliest start position. For example, in conjunction with FIG. 4, the starting position of resource # 1 is the first reference position.

Manner 3: In the time domain, the first resource may be a resource corresponding to N time units with the first reference position as a starting position. For example, as shown in Figure 5. At least one resource indicated by the network device through the second resource configuration information is: resource # 1, resource # 2, resource # 3, and resource # 4, which are all associated with the same pre-configured resource, that is, resource # 1, resource # 2 The first resources associated with resource # 3 and resource # 4 are the same, and the first resource is a resource corresponding to N time units starting from the start position of resource # 1.

In the embodiment of the present application, each of the at least one resource may be associated with a different pre-configured resource. In this case, the network device may notify the terminal device of a time interval, and the terminal device may derive the location of the first resource according to the time interval and the location of the second resource. Specifically, the network device may send third information, where the third information indicates a second preset time interval. The terminal device may use, as the first resource, a resource corresponding to N time units located before the second reference position and a time interval between the end position and the second reference position is the second preset time interval. , N is an integer greater than 0; the second reference position is a starting position of the second resource.

In this case, the network device may associate a different first resource for each second resource, and may ensure that the associated first resource does not conflict with other second resources. Correspondingly, the indication information used by different terminal devices may be distinguished by using a code division multiplexing method and / or a time division multiplexing.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the at least one resource indicated by the network device through the second resource configuration information is: resource # 1, resource # 2, resource # 3, and resource # 4, which are respectively different from different pre-configured resources Associated. The time intervals (gap) between resource # 1, resource # 2, resource # 3, and resource # 4 and their associated pre-configured resources are interval 1, interval 2, interval 3, and interval 4, respectively. The network device only needs to indicate interval 1, interval 2, interval 3, and interval 4, and the terminal device can derive corresponding resources.

With the above method, when the first instruction information is used to instruct the terminal device to perform uplink data transmission through the second resource, the terminal device may send the first instruction information according to the determined first resource before the second resource performs uplink data transmission. Correspondingly, when the network device receives the first indication information, it may determine that uplink data of the terminal device exists in the second resource, so as to receive and demodulate the uplink data in the second resource. Because the network device has determined that uplink data of the terminal device exists in the second resource through the first instruction information, the complexity of blind detection of the network device can be reduced, and the efficiency of the network device can be improved. It should be noted that the second resource is pre-configured by the network device, so the network device can determine the location of the second resource, and the network device can also determine the second resource based on the association between the first instruction information and the second resource. No longer.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may not notify the network device in advance whether to send uplink data, which is described in detail below.

In the first possible scenario, the network device may determine the coverage condition of the terminal device; the coverage condition is the coverage level or RSRP of the terminal device. If the coverage condition of the terminal device is greater than a preset threshold, the network device may determine fourth information and send the fourth information to the terminal device. The fourth information is used to indicate that the terminal device does not need to send fifth information before sending uplink data in the scheduling-free resource, and the fifth information is used to instruct the terminal device to send uplink data in the scheduling-free resource.

It should be noted that the scheduling-free resources are configured by the network device for the terminal device before the terminal device transmits the uplink data. The specific configuration method is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. Before a terminal device sends uplink data in a scheduling-free resource, it does not need to apply to the network device for using the scheduling-free resource. After the network device is configured with the scheduling-free resource, whether the terminal device uses the scheduling-free resource and how to use the scheduling-free resource are not limited by the network device.

For example, if the network device determines that the coverage level of the terminal device is the coverage enhancement level 0, it determines that the terminal device is in good coverage, and the network device may indicate that the terminal device does not need to send the fifth information by sending fourth information.

Since the DMRS energy sent by the terminal device received by the network device is high when the terminal device is in good coverage, the network device can perform activity detection on the terminal device based on the DMRS, or the uplink data sent by the terminal device occupies less RU and repetition. Even if the network device blindly decodes uplink data of the terminal device, the cost is not large, so the terminal device may not need to send the fifth information to the network device at this time.

Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the fourth information sent by the network device. If it is determined according to the fourth information that the fifth information does not need to be sent, the terminal device does not send the first information before sending the uplink data. Five messages. Conversely, if it is determined that the fifth information needs to be sent according to the fourth information, the terminal device sends the fifth information before sending the uplink data.

In a second possible scenario, if the terminal device sends uplink data in the scheduling-free resources of each period of the periodic scheduling-free resources, it does not send the uplink data before sending the uplink data in the scheduling-free resources in each period. The fifth information. The fifth information is used to instruct the terminal device to send uplink data in a scheduling-free resource.

In this scenario, if the uplink data sent by the terminal device is periodically reported data, and each cycle sends uplink data in a periodic scheduling-free resource, when the sending period of the uplink data is the same as the period of the scheduling-free resource Before sending the uplink data, the terminal device may not send the fifth information but directly send the uplink data.

For example, a network device configures a periodic scheduling-free resource for a terminal device. If the terminal device sends uplink data through the scheduling-free resource in each period of the periodic scheduling-free resource, the network device can It is determined that the terminal device will periodically send uplink data. At this time, the terminal device may not need to send the fifth information to the network device before sending the uplink data.

Through the above method, the terminal device may not send the fifth information in the above-mentioned situation, which not only reduces the power consumption of the terminal device, network resource overhead, but also reduces the complexity of blind detection of the network device.
