Technical field
[0001]
The present invention relates to the field of communications, in particular to a data transmission method and device.
Background technique
[0002]
3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3rd Generation Partnership Project) is studying related topics of next-generation wireless communication systems. In the next-generation wireless communication system, for example, in the New Radio (NR) system, a synchronization signal block (Sychronization Signal Block, SSB) in a cycle is transmitted in a half sub-frame, The length of one half subframe is 5ms.
[0003]
In the NR system, for different frequency bands and subcarrier intervals, the time domain position of the SSB in a half-subframe is predefined, and the SSB at different time domain positions is represented by the SSB index (SSB index), and the demodulation in one SSB The reference signal (Demodulation Reference Sgnal, DMRS) and the physical broadcast channel (Physical Broadcast Channel, PBCH) may indicate the SSB index corresponding to the SSB. For example, for the frequency band of 3 to 6 GHz, one half subframe includes the time domain positions of the pre-defined 8 SSBs, and the 8 SSBs correspond to the SSB index with a value of 0 to 7 in a one-to-one correspondence. Therefore, after a user equipment (User Equipment, UE) receives an SSB, it can determine the half-subframe timing according to the SSB index corresponding to the SSB, and then can determine the frame timing in combination with other information.
[0004]
It should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is only for the convenience of a clear and complete description of the technical solution of the present invention, and to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art. It should not be considered that the above technical solutions are well-known to those skilled in the art just because these solutions are described in the background art part of the present invention.
[0005]
Summary of the invention
[0006]
The inventor found that in the NR system, only the licensed frequency band was considered for the design of the SSB. For example, for the 3-6 GHz frequency band, 8 predefined SSBs are included in one half subframe. In the licensed frequency band, the network equipment (Network Equipment) can predetermine and guarantee whether to send an SSB.
[0007]
However, in some frequency bands, such as unlicensed bands or sharing bands, in order to share spectrum resources fairly and efficiently, the device needs to determine that the channel is not occupied by other devices through the channel access method/process Send data, therefore, the network device may not be able to send SSB because the channel is occupied by other devices. In addition, the transmission power of the SSB and the number of SSBs that can be sent within a certain period or the length of time may also be limited by regulatory requirements. Therefore, if the SSB design in the NR system is directly adopted, it may not be possible to guarantee cell coverage in certain frequency bands.

[0067]
Example 1
[0068]
The embodiment of the present invention provides a data transmission method, which is applied to the network device side.
[0069]
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a data transmission method according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes:
[0070]
Step 201: Send at least one SSB in the second SSB set corresponding to the first transmission window in the first transmission window, or send no SSB; wherein, the second SSB set is a subset of the first SSB set, and Each SSB in the first SSB set corresponds to a different time domain position of the first transmission window.
[0071]
In this way, by setting a first SSB set corresponding to one transmission window and a second SSB set that is a subset of the first SSB set, and sending at least one SSB in the second SSB set in the transmission window, it is possible to adapt to different In the case of cell coverage and improve the flexibility of resource scheduling. In this embodiment, the first transmission window may be any one of a plurality of transmission windows, and the plurality of transmission windows are set at a certain periodic interval on the time axis.
[0072]
In this embodiment, the time domain position, QCL relationship, and the number of SSBs sent in different transmission windows may be the same or different.
[0073]
In this embodiment, a transmission window may be a periodic time transmission unit. For example, the transmission window is an SSB transmission window, a DRS (demodulation reference signal, Demodulation Reference Signal) transmission window, a half subframe, and a subframe. one of.
[0074]
In this embodiment, each SSB in the first SSB set corresponds to a different time domain position of the first transmission window. The number of SSBs in the first SSB set can be set according to actual needs.
[0075]
For example, the number of SSBs in the first SSB set may be more than 8, such as 16, 32, or 64.
[0076]
In this embodiment, the first SSB set is predefined.
[0077]
Here, the pre-defined refers to at least one of the number of SSBs included in the first SSB set, the time domain location, and the quasi co-location relationship defined in the standard. The first SSB set is, for example, defined according to the regulatory requirements of unlicensed frequency bands, so as to share spectrum resources as fairly as possible.
[0078]
In this embodiment, according to the quasi co-location relationship between SSBs, that is, according to the spatial information corresponding to the SSBs, such as the second index, beam identification, the SSBs corresponding to the same and unique spatial information are quasi co-located.
[0079]
For example, the first SSB set is related to the frequency band (or frequency range) and/or sub-carrier spacing (SCS), that is, the corresponding first set is defined for different frequency bands (or frequency ranges) and/or sub-carrier spacing. SSB collection.
[0080]
Take frequency bands as an example. For example, for frequency bands F1 to F2 kHz, the first SSB set includes 8 SSBs of SSB1 to SSB8, and for frequency bands F3 to F4 kHz, the second SSB set includes 16 SSBs of SSB1 to SSB16. For other frequency bands, similar settings can be made.
[0081]
For example, for the time domain position of the SSB, the corresponding relationship between the SSB and the first index is predefined, or the relationship between the SSB and the second index and the third index is predefined;
[0082]
Regarding the quasi co-location relationship of the SSB, the corresponding relationship between the SSB and the second index is predefined.
[0083]
In this embodiment, each SSB in the first SSB set corresponds to a different time domain position of the first transmission window. The different time domain positions here mean that they are not completely the same, that is, the first SSB set The time domain positions of any two SSBs in can be spaced apart or partially overlapped.
[0084]
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the transmission window and the first SSB set in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of transmission windows are periodically set on the time axis, and a period T is, for example, 40 ms. The first transmission window is one of multiple transmission windows, and corresponds to the first transmission window. The first SSB set includes 16 SSBs, and the 16 SSBs are spaced apart from each other in the time domain.
[0085]
FIG. 4 is another schematic diagram of the first SSB set according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the first SSB set includes 16 SSBs, and these 16 SSBs partially overlap in the time domain.
[0086]
In this embodiment, the SSB in the first SSB set may be called a nominal SSB (nominal SSB), but the name is only to distinguish it from the existing SSB, and other names may also be used.
[0087]
In this embodiment, the second SSB set is a subset of the first SSB set. For example, the second SSB set may be the first SSB set itself, or it may be a proper subset of the first SSB set, that is, it contains the first SSB set. Part of the SSB set SSB.
[0088]
In this embodiment, the SSB in the second SSB set can be called candidate SSB (candidate SSB), but the name is only to distinguish it from the existing SSB and the SSB in the first SSB set, and other SSBs can also be used. name.
[0089]
For example, for a certain SSB in the first SSB set, it is a nominal SSB, and if the nominal SSB belongs to the second SSB set, the nominal SSB is also a candidate SSB at the same time.
[0090]
In step 201, at least one SSB in the second SSB set corresponding to the first transmission window is sent in the first transmission window.
[0091]
In this embodiment, for an unlicensed frequency band or a shared frequency band, at least one SSB in the second SSB set corresponding to the first transmission window is sent in the first transmission window according to the channel detection result, or no SSB is sent.
[0092]
Wherein, the second SSB set includes at least one SSB.
[0093]
For example, when none of the time domain positions corresponding to the SSB in the second SSB set in the first transmission window can access the channel, the SSB is not sent.
[0094]
For example, for the first transmission window, the minimum number of SSB transmissions I can be set, and if the SSB is transmitted in the first transmission window, at least I is transmitted. When the base station fails to access the channel before the time domain position corresponding to the first SSB in the second SSB set in the second SSB set in the first transmission window, the SSB is not sent.
[0095]
At this time, the number of SSBs with non-overlapping time domain positions in the second SSB set is greater than or equal to 1. The minimum number of transmissions I is predefined.
[0096]
Here, the pre-defined refers to a specific value of I defined in the standard. For example, I is defined in accordance with the regulatory requirements of unlicensed frequency bands to share spectrum resources as fairly as possible.
[0097]
For example, I is related to the frequency band (or frequency range) and/or sub-carrier spacing (SCS), that is, the corresponding minimum number of transmission I is defined for different frequency bands (or frequency ranges) and/or sub-carrier spacing. .
[0098]
Take the frequency band as an example. For example, for the frequency band F1 to F2 kHz, I=4, and for the frequency band F3 to F4 kHz, I=2. For other frequency bands, similar settings can be made.
[0099]
In this embodiment, for the first transmission window, the maximum number of SSBs to be sent can be set, denoted as X.
[0100]
Among them, the maximum sending number X is predefined. Here, the pre-defined refers to the specific value of X defined in the standard, and X is defined according to the regulatory requirements of unlicensed frequency bands, for example, so as to share spectrum resources as fairly as possible.
[0101]
For example, X is related to the frequency band (or frequency range) and/or sub-carrier spacing (SCS), that is, the corresponding maximum transmission number X is defined for different frequency bands (or frequency ranges) and/or sub-carrier spacing. .
[0102]
Take the frequency band as an example. For example, for the frequency band F1 to F2 kHz, X=8, and for the frequency band F3 to F4 kHz, X=4. For other frequency bands, similar settings can be made.
[0103]
For example, the number of SSBs in the second SSB set is greater than or equal to the maximum transmission number corresponding to the second SSB set.
[0104]
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the SSB in the first transmission window of Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of transmission windows are periodically set on the time axis, and a period T is, for example, 40 ms. The first transmission window is one of multiple transmission windows, corresponding to the first transmission window. The first SSB set contains 16 SSBs, the second SSB set contains 8 SSBs, and the transmitted SSBs are 4 SSBs, namely X=4.
[0105]
In this embodiment, the number of SSBs in the second SSB set may also be related to the maximum number X to be sent. For example, in order to have sufficient SSB transmission opportunities to ensure cell coverage in the unlicensed frequency band, the number of SSBs in the second SSB set is greater than the maximum number of transmission X. That is, at least one SSB in the second SSB set may not be sent in the first transmission window.
[0106]
In this embodiment, the second SSB set or the two SSBs in the first SSB set are quasi-collocation (QCL). That is, in the second SSB set or in the first SSB set, there are at least two quasi-co-located SSBs. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the method may further include:
[0107]
Step 202: Generate at least one SSB in the second SSB set corresponding to the first transmission window.
[0108]
In this embodiment, the relationship between step 202 and step 201 is not limited.
[0109]
For example, the second SSB set corresponding to the first transmission window includes four SSBs, SSB1, SSB2, SSB3, and SSB4. For the first transmission window, SSB1, SSB2, SSB3, and SSB4 are generated through step 202, and SSB1 and SSB4 are sent in step 201. SSB4, SSB2 and SSB3 are not sent, or SSB2 and SSB3 are sent, SSB1 and SSB4 are not sent.
[0110]
For another example, the second SSB set corresponding to the first transmission window includes four SSBs, SSB1, SSB2, SSB3, and SSB4. For the first transmission window, SSB1 may be generated first through step 202, and then the SSB1 is sent in step 201. , And then generate SSB2 in step 202, and then send the SSB2 in step 202.
[0111]
For another example, the second SSB set corresponding to the first transmission window includes four SSBs, SSB1, SSB2, SSB3, and SSB4, but in step 202, only SSB1 and SSB2 are generated, but SSB3 and SSB4 are not generated.
[0112]
In this embodiment, the second SSB set is predefined or pre-configured.
[0113]
For the predefined situation, the SSBs included in the second SSB set are defined in the standard based on the first SSB set.
[0114]
Here, the pre-definition refers to at least one of the number of SSBs included in the second SSB set, the position in the time domain, and the quasi co-location relationship defined in the standard. The second SSB set is, for example, defined according to unlicensed frequency band regulatory requirements, so as to share spectrum resources as fairly as possible.
[0115]
For example, the second SSB set is related to the frequency band (or frequency range) and/or sub-carrier spacing (SCS), that is, the corresponding second set is defined for different frequency bands (or frequency ranges) and/or sub-carrier spacing. SSB collection.
[0116]
Taking frequency bands as an example, for example, for frequency bands F1 to F2 kHz, the second SSB set includes SSB1 and SSB2, and for frequency bands F3 to F4 kHz, the second SSB set includes SSB1, SSB2, SSB3, and SSB4. For other frequency bands, similar settings can be made. In the case of pre-configuration, as shown in Figure 2, the method may also include:
[0117]
Step 203: Send first indication information; the first indication information indicates the second SSB set.
[0118]
For example, before step 201 and step 202, step 203 is performed, that is, the network device pre-configures the second SSB set and informs the UE of the second SSB set.
[0119]
In this embodiment, the first indication information may be sent through high-level signaling or physical layer instructions.
[0120]
For example, the high-level signaling is RRC signaling or MAC CE.
[0121]
In this embodiment, the first indication information corresponds to the first parameter or the second parameter, the first parameter is an existing parameter, and the second parameter is a new parameter. That is, the first indication information uses the first parameter or the second parameter.
[0122]
In this embodiment, the existing parameter is an IE (information element) already supported by RRC signaling in Rel-15NR. Using (or reusing) an existing parameter refers to the use of a parameter with the same name as an existing parameter, and the information and/or indication method it refers to can be different according to the actual situation, for example, for authorized frequency bands and unlicensed frequency bands , The information and/or indication method referred to by the existing parameter is different.
[0123]
In this embodiment, using the new parameter refers to using the newly introduced parameter IE.
[0124]
For example, in the case of sending the first indication information through RRC signaling, an existing parameter, such as ssb-PositionsInBurst, may be used for indication, or a new parameter, such as ssb-PositionsinBurst-NRU may also be used for indication.
[0125]
For example, for a licensed frequency band, ssb-PositionsInBurst indicates a set consisting of sent SSB; for an unlicensed frequency band, ssb-PositionsInBurst (new parameter, such as ssb-PositionsinBurst-NRU) indicates the above-mentioned second SSB set (candidate SSB set) ).
[0126]
For another example, for an unlicensed frequency band, ssb-PositionsInBurst (a new parameter, such as ssb-PositionsinBurst-NRU) indicates that the SSB sent in the second SSB set depends on channel access, or depends on channel access and the above-mentioned maximum number of transmissions. Number of SSBs; for licensed frequency bands, it does not depend on channel access or the above-mentioned maximum number of SSBs to be sent.
[0127]
For another example, for licensed frequency bands, the time domain positions of SSBs in an SSB set indicated by ssb-PositionsInBurst cannot overlap; for unlicensed frequency bands, ssb-PositionsInBurst (new parameters, such as ssb-PositionsinBurst-NRU) indicates an SSB set The time domain positions of the SSBs in can overlap.
[0128]
For another example, for Rel-15, for Rel-15, the ssb-PositionsInBurst indication includes a set of sent SSB; for Rel-16 or other subsequent versions, ssb-PositionsInBurst (new parameters, such as ssb-PositionsinBurst-NRU) Indicates the above-mentioned second SSB set (a set of candidate SSBs).
[0129]
For another example, for Rel-15, ssb-PositionsInBurst (new parameters, such as ssb-PositionsinBurst-NRU) indicates that the SSB sent in the second SSB set depends on channel access, or depends on channel access and the above-mentioned maximum number of transmissions. Number of SSBs; for Rel-16 or other subsequent versions, it does not depend on channel access or the above-mentioned maximum number of SSBs to be sent.
[0130]
For another example, for Rel-15, the time domain positions of SSBs in an SSB set indicated by ssb-PositionsInBurst cannot overlap; for Rel-16 or other subsequent versions, ssb-PositionsInBurst (new parameters, such as ssb-PositionsinBurst-NRU) The time domain positions of the SSBs in the indicated one SSB set may overlap.
[0131]
In this embodiment, the first indication information may directly indicate the second SSB set.
[0132]
For example, a bit-map is used to indicate which SSBs in the first SSB set belong to the second SSB set, or the number, start position, and end position of the indicated SSBs in the second SSB set.
[0133]
For example, the first indication information includes N bits, which have a one-to-one correspondence with each SSB in the first SSB set. 1 indicates that the corresponding SSB is an SSB in the second SSB set, and 0 indicates that the corresponding SSB is not an SSB in the second SSB set.
[0134]
FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of indicating a second SSB set according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, the first indication information includes 16 bits, which are 1111110000000000 in sequence, and the SSB corresponding to "1" in the first SSB set is the SSB in the second SSB set.
[0135]
For another example, the first SSB set is divided into M groups, and the first indication information includes M bits, which have a one-to-one correspondence with each group of SSBs in the first SSB set. 1 indicates that the SSB in the corresponding group is the SSB in the second SSB set, and 0 indicates that the SSB in the corresponding group is not the SSB in the second SSB set.
[0136]
In this embodiment, the first indication information may also be based on the time domain position of the SSB in the first SSB set, and/or the quasi co-location relationship of the SSB in the first SSB set, indicating the second SSB gather.
[0137]
For example, the first indication information indicates the second SSB set based on the correspondence between the SSB in the first SSB set and the first index; the first index indicates that the SSB in the first SSB set is in the one transmission window The SSB in the first SSB set corresponds to the value of the first index in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0138]
For another example, the first indication information indicates the second SSB set based on the correspondence between the SSBs in the first SSB set and the second index; the second index indicates the standard between the SSBs in the first SSB set. The co-location relationship, in other words, the second index represents the spatial information (for example, beam identifier) corresponding to the SSBs in the first SSB set, and the SSBs corresponding to the same second index in the first SSB set are quasi-co-located. The first SSB set includes two SSBs corresponding to the same second index value. In this embodiment, the two SSBs corresponding to the same second index value are quasi-co-located.
[0139]
For example, the second index has Y values, and the first indication information includes Y bits, which have a one-to-one correspondence with each value of the second index. 1 indicates that the SSB corresponding to the corresponding second index is an SSB in the second SSB set, and 0 indicates that the SSB corresponding to the corresponding second index is not an SSB in the second SSB set.
[0140]
FIG. 7 is another schematic diagram of indicating the second SSB set according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 7, the first indication information contains 4 bits, which are 1100 in turn, and the second index has 4 values, which are 0123 in turn. The first SSB set contains 16 SSBs, and their corresponding second indexes are in turn 0123012301230123, the SSB corresponding to the second index (values 0 and 1) corresponding to 1 is the SSB in the second SSB set.
[0141]
For another example, the first index or the second index is divided into Y groups, and the first indication information includes Y bits, which correspond to each group of the first index or the second index one-to-one. 1 indicates that the SSB corresponding to the first index or second index group is the SSB in the second SSB set, 0 indicates that the SSB corresponding to the first index or second index group is not in the second SSB set SSB.
[0142]
In this embodiment, the first indication information is also based on the corresponding relationship between the SSB in the first SSB set and the third index, indicating the second SSB set; the third index indicates that the first SSB set corresponds to the same The sequence number or time domain position of the SSB in the group formed by the SSB with the second index value in the group, and the SSB in the group corresponds to the value of the third index in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0143]
For example, the second index has Y values, the SSBs with the same second index value form Y groups, and the first indication information includes 2Y bits. Among them, the first Y bits indicate the same value as a certain second index. Whether the SSB corresponding to the value is an SSB in the second SSB set, the last Y bits indicate whether the SSB corresponding to a certain third index value is an SSB in the second SSB set.
[0144]
FIG. 8 is another schematic diagram of indicating the second SSB set according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 8, the first indication information contains 8 bits, which are 11000110 in order, and the second index has 4 values, which are 0123 in order. SSBs with the same second index value form 4 groups. An SSB set contains 16 SSBs. The corresponding second index is 0123012301230123, and the corresponding third index is 0000111122223333. Then the second index corresponding to 1 in the first 4 bits of the first indication information is 0 and 1. The group numbers corresponding to 1 in the last 4 bits are 1 and 2.
[0145]
In this embodiment, the SSB in the first SSB set may correspond to one second index, or may correspond to multiple second indexes.
[0146]
When one SSB corresponds to multiple second indexes, the second SSB set may be indicated according to the correspondence relationship between the SSB and the multiple second indexes.
[0147]
FIG. 9 is another schematic diagram of indicating the second SSB set according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 9, the first indication information contains 4 bits, which are 1100 in order. The SSB in the first SSB set corresponds to two second indexes, which are denoted as second index 1 and second index 2. 1 has 4 values, which are 0123 respectively, and the second index 2 also has 4 values, which are 3012 respectively. Then the second index 1 (values 0 and 1) and the second index 2 (values 0 and 1) corresponding to 1 The SSBs corresponding to the values 3 and 0) are all SSBs in the second SSB set.
[0148]
In this embodiment, the second SSB set is indicated through the above step 203, that is, the time domain position of the SSBs in the second SSB set. In addition, the quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs in the second SSB set can be further indicated. .
[0149]
As shown in Figure 2, the method may further include:
[0150]
Step 204: Send second indication information; the second indication information indicates the quasi co-location relationship between SSBs in the second SSB set.
[0151]
Through step 204, the UE can determine the quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs in the second SSB set.
[0152]
In this embodiment, step 203 and step 204 can be executed sequentially or simultaneously, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the timing thereof.
[0153]
In addition, when the UE does not receive the second indication information (including not sent by the network device, and sent by the network device but not received by the UE), because the second SSB set is the first SSB set or a true subset of the first SSB set , The quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs in the second SSB set can also be known (determined) according to the pre-defined quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs in the first SSB set.
[0154]
For example, the quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs in the second SSB set is obtained according to the predefined correspondence between the SSBs in the first SSB set and the second index.
[0155]
For example, any SSB in the predefined first SSB set corresponds to only one second index value, and the SSBs corresponding to the same second index value are quasi-co-located, corresponding to different second index values The SSBs are not quasi-co-located. The quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs in the second SSB set is the same as the quasi co-location relationship between the corresponding SSBs in the first SSB set.
[0156]
For another example, at least one SSB in the predefined first SSB set corresponds to two or more second index values, and the corresponding at least one SSB with the same second index value may be quasi co-located. , The corresponding SSBs with different values of the second index are not quasi-co-located. The quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs in the second SSB set is the same as the quasi co-location relationship between the corresponding SSBs in the first SSB set.
[0157]
In this embodiment, the second indication information may further indicate that the pre-defined quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs in the first SSB set is not a quasi co-located SSB (the value of any corresponding second index is different. SSB) is quasi-co-located, or the second indication information may further indicate that the SSB (corresponding to at least one SSB with the same second index value) that may be quasi-co-located based on the predefined quasi-co-location relationship is quasi-co-located Co-located.
[0158]
For example, according to the predefined correspondence between the SSB in the first SSB set and the second index, the first SSB and the second SSB are not quasi-co-located (the value of any corresponding second index is different), and the first SSB and the second SSB have different values. The second indication information may indicate that the first SSB and the second SSB in the second SSB set are quasi-co-located. After receiving the second indication information, the UE can determine according to the second indication information that the first SSB and the second SSB are quasi-co-located.
[0159]
For another example, according to the predefined correspondence between the SSB in the first SSB set and the second index, the first SSB and the second SSB may be quasi-co-located (corresponding to at least one SSB with the same second index value), The second indication information may indicate that the first SSB and the second SSB in the second SSB set are quasi-co-located. After receiving the second indication information, the UE can determine according to the second indication information that the first SSB and the second SSB are quasi-co-located.
[0160]
In this embodiment, the second indication information may be indicated by multiplexing the first indication information, or the second indication information may be implicitly indicated by the first indication information.
[0161]
FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram indicating the quasi co-location relationship between SSBs of the second SSB set according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 10, the SSB in the first SSB set corresponds to the second index 1 and the second index 2, and the value of the second index 2 can be used to implicitly indicate the standard between the SSBs in the second SSB set. The co-location relationship, that is, the SSBs with the same second index 2 value are quasi co-location.
[0162]
Generally, the second indication information cannot indicate that based on the pre-defined quasi-co-location relationship between the SSBs in the first SSB set, the SSBs that are quasi-co-located are not quasi-co-located. If the UE receives the second indication information indicating that the quasi-co-located SSBs are not quasi-co-located based on the quasi-co-location relationship between the SSBs in the first predefined set of SSBs, the UE still follows the pre-defined first SSB set The quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs determines the quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs in the second SSB set.
[0163]
For example, according to the predefined correspondence between the SSB in the first SSB set and the second index, the first SSB and the second SSB are quasi-co-located (respectively corresponding to a second index and the same value), and the second SSB The indication information indicates that the first SSB and the second SSB in the second SSB set are not quasi-co-located. According to the pre-defined quasi-co-location relationship between the SSBs in the first SSB set, the UE still considers the first SSB and the second SSB The two SSBs are quasi co-located.
[0164]
For ease of description, it is assumed below that the fourth index represents the spatial information (for example, beam identification) of the SSBs in the second SSB set, or in other words, represents the quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs in the second SSB set, and has the same The SSB with the value of the fourth index is quasi-co-located.
[0165]
In addition, as shown in the example in FIG. 10, in the case where the SSB in the first SSB set corresponds to two or more second indexes, one of the second indexes may also be used to indicate the SSB in the second SSB set. The airspace information of, or in other words, indicates the quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs in the second SSB set, and the SSBs with the same second index value are quasi co-location.
[0166]
FIG. 11 is another schematic diagram indicating the quasi co-location relationship between SSBs of the second SSB set according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 11, the second index and the third index are the same as those shown in Fig. 8. The fourth index corresponding to the SSB in the second SSB set is 01010101, and the quasi-share between the SSBs in the second SSB set is The address relationship is shown in FIG. 11, and SSBs with the same fourth index value are quasi co-located.
[0167]
In this embodiment, if at least one SSB in the second SSB set corresponds to two or more second indexes (or fourth indexes), the UE needs to use the second index ( Or the value of the fourth index) uniquely determines the QCL relationship between the SSBs in the second SSB set it receives.
[0168]
In this embodiment, the first SSB set is predefined.
[0169]
For example, one SSB in the first SSB set may correspond to a value of a first index, may also correspond to a value of at least one second index, or may correspond to a value of a first index and at least one second index at the same time.
[0170]
In this embodiment, each SSB in the first SSB set corresponds to a first index value. The first index indicates the time domain position of the SSB in the first SSB set in the one transmission window, and the SSB in the first SSB set corresponds to the value of the first index in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0171]
The UE may determine the time domain position of the SSB in the first SSB set according to the first index, so as to obtain the frame timing.
[0172]
In this embodiment, each SSB in the first SSB set may also correspond to at least one second index. The second index indicates a quasi co-location relationship between SSBs in the first SSB set, and the first SSB set includes two SSBs corresponding to the same second index value.
[0173]
In this embodiment, each SSB in the first SSB set may correspond to one second index, or may correspond to multiple second indexes.
[0174]
The UE may determine the spatial information between the SSBs in the first SSB set according to the second index, that is, the quasi co-location relationship.
[0175]
In this embodiment, the first index and/or the second index of the SSB in the first SSB set may be indicated. For example, it can be indicated by a signal and/or channel in the SSB.
[0176]
FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the SSB of Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 12, one SSB contains PBCH, SSS, PBCH, and PSS.
[0177]
In order to support the UE to determine the frame timing according to the SSB after receiving an SSB, the signal and/or channel in the SSB (for example, one of the indications of PSS, SSS, PBCH, and PBCH DMRS) needs to be used to indicate that the SSB is in the corresponding transmission window. The time domain position in the
[0178]
For example, the time domain position of the SSB in the corresponding transmission window is characterized by a first index (the first index has a one-to-one correspondence with the SSB in the first SSB set), and the SSB is indicated by the signal and/or channel in the SSB The corresponding first index takes a value, thereby indicating the time domain position of the SSB in the corresponding transmission window.
[0179]
Specifically, for example, the DMRS in the SSB indicates a part of the first index value, and a part of the payload in the PBCH in the SSB indicates another part of the first index value, for example, as shown in the following table.
[0180]
[0181]
For another example, the time domain position of the SSB in the corresponding transmission window is characterized by a second index and other information (third index or timing offset), and the signal and/or channel in the SSB indicates the second index and the corresponding second index of the SSB. Other information indicates the time domain position of the SSB in the corresponding transmission window.
[0182]
Specifically, for example, the value of the second index is indicated by the DMRS in the SSB, and other information is indicated by a part of the payload in the PBCH in the SSB. In addition, when each SSB in the first SSB set corresponds to a first index value, the corresponding second index can also be determined through the indicated first index and the corresponding relationship between the first index and the second index; When each SSB in an SSB set corresponds to at least one second index, the corresponding first index may also be determined through the indicated second index and the corresponding relationship between the second index and the first index.
[0183]
In this embodiment, the first index is, for example, an SSB time index (SSB time index) or an SSB index (SSB index).
[0184]
In this embodiment, the second index is, for example, an SSB beam index (SSB beam index) or an SSB index (SSB index) or a DRS index (DRS index) or a timing offset (timing offset).
[0185]

As shown in Figure 16, the first index is the SSB time index, and the second index is the SSB index. The first SSB set contains 16 SSBs. These 16 SSBs correspond to one SSB time index and one SSB index respectively. The SSB whose second index is the adjacent SSB.
[0189]
FIG. 17 is another schematic diagram of the first SSB set according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 17, the first index is the SSB time index, and the second index is the SSB beam index. The first SSB set contains 16 SSBs. These 16 SSBs correspond to one SSB index and one SSB beam index, respectively. SSBs with the same second index value are non-adjacent SSBs.
[0190]
FIG. 18 is another schematic diagram of the first SSB set according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 18, the first index is the SSB time index, and the second index is the SSB beam index. The first SSB set contains 16 SSBs. These 16 SSBs correspond to one SSB index and one SSB beam index, respectively. SSBs with the same second index value are adjacent SSBs.
[0191]
In this embodiment, for example, in an unlicensed frequency band, the SSB may also be sent as a part of the DRS. In this case, DRS and SSB have a one-to-one correspondence.
[0192]
For example, in this case, the transmission window may be a DRS transmission window, and the second index may be a DRS index.
[0193]
That is to say, a DRS contains one SSB. In addition, a DRS can also contain at least one remaining minimum system information (RMSI) or the PDCCH and/or PDSCH corresponding to SIB1. At this time, the SSB in the DRS and RMSI has a one-to-one correspondence.
[0194]
FIG. 25 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the DRS in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in (a) in FIG. 25, the DRS includes two repeated SSBs; as shown in (b) in FIG. 25, the DRS includes an extended SSB.
[0195]
FIG. 25 is only a schematic diagram of the structure of the DRS, and other structures may also be used for the DRS.
[0196]
When the SSB is included in the DRS and sent, the above method described for the SSB is also applicable to the DRS, and the description will not be repeated here.
[0197]
It can be seen from the foregoing embodiment that the first SSB set corresponding to one transmission window and the second SSB set that is a subset of the first SSB set are set, and at least one SSB in the second SSB set is sent in the transmission window. , It can adapt to cell coverage in different situations and improve the flexibility of resource scheduling.

Example 2
[0199]
The embodiment of the present invention provides a data transmission method, which is applied to the user equipment side, and corresponds to the data transmission method applied to the network equipment side described in Embodiment 1, and the same content will not be repeated.
[0200]
FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram of a data transmission method according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 19, the method includes:
[0201]
Step 1901: According to the time domain position of the SSBs in the second SSB set and/or the quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs, receiving downlink signals and/or channels or sending uplink signals and/or channels,
[0202]
The second SSB set is a subset of the first SSB set, and each SSB in the first SSB set corresponds to a different time domain position of a transmission window.
[0203]
In this way, the UE can receive downlink signals and/or channels or send uplink signals and/or channels according to the time domain position and/or quasi co-location relationship of the SSBs in the second SSB set, thereby improving the flexibility and utilization of resource utilization Rate.
[0204]
In this embodiment, the first SSB set may be predefined.
[0205]
In this embodiment, the second SSB set may be predefined or pre-configured.
[0206]
In this embodiment, the content of the second SSB set and the content of the first SSB set and the instruction method may be the same as those described in Embodiment 1, and the description will not be repeated here.
[0207]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, the method may further include:
[0208]
Step 1902: Determine the time domain position and/or quasi co-location relationship of the SSBs in the second SSB set.
[0209]
For example, according to the time domain positions of the SSBs in the first SSB set and/or the quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs, the time domain positions of the SSBs in the second SSB set and/or the quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs are determined.
[0210]
In this embodiment, the time domain position of the SSBs in the first SSB set and/or the quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs are predefined, and the predefined manner is the same as that described in Embodiment 1, and will not be omitted here. Repeat the description.
[0211]
For example, if the first indication information and/or the second indication information are received, the time domain position and/or the quasi-shared position of the SSBs in the second SSB set are also determined according to the received first indication information and/or second indication information. The address relationship, the first indication information indicates the second SSB set, and the second indication information indicates the quasi co-location relationship between SSBs in the second SSB set.
[0212]
In this embodiment, the content of the first indication information and/or the second indication information and the method for the network device to send the information are the same as those described in Embodiment 1, and the description will not be repeated here.
[0213]
For example, according to the second index and/or the received second indication information, the quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs in the second SSB set is determined, and the second index indicates the quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs in the first SSB set. Address relationship.
[0214]
For example, as shown in FIG. 11 above, the quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs in the second SSB set is determined according to the second index and the fourth index in the second indication information.
[0215]
In addition, the quasi co-location relationship between the SSBs in the second SSB set may also be determined only according to the fourth index.
[0216]
In step 1901, according to the time domain position and/or quasi co-location relationship of the SSBs in the second SSB set, a downlink signal and/or channel is received or an uplink signal and/or channel is sent.
[0217]
In this embodiment, the downlink signal and/or channel is, for example, SSB/DRS, or a downlink signal and/or channel other than SSB/DRS, and a downlink signal and/or channel other than SSB/DRS, such as a physical downlink control channel ( At least one of Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), and downlink reference signals (such as CSI-RS).
[0218]
In this embodiment, the uplink signal and/or channel is, for example, a physical random access channel (PRACH), an uplink reference signal (for example, a sounding reference signal (Sounding Reference Signal, SRS)), and a physical uplink control channel. At least one of (Physical Uplink Control Channel, PUCCH) and Physical Uplink Shared Channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUSCH).
[0219]
In step 1901, at least one of the following processing can be performed according to the time domain position and/or quasi co-location relationship of the SSBs in the second SSB set: monitoring the physical downlink control channel; receiving the physical downlink data channel; sending the uplink signal and / Or channel; and radio link monitoring (Radio Link Monitoring, RLM).
[0220]
For example, in the case of monitoring the PDCCH or receiving the PDSCH according to the time domain position and/or quasi co-location relationship of the SSB in the second SSB set, the time domain position of the SSB in the second SSB set and/or the relationship between the SSB Knowing the QCL relationship between the PDCCH and the SSB in the second SSB set, the QCL relationship between the PDCCH and the SSB in the second SSB set can also be determined according to the second index and/or the received second indication information. A quasi co-location relationship between one, so as to monitor PDCCH or receive PDSCH.
[0221]
For example, in the case of monitoring the PDCCH, when the DMRS antenna port (DMRS antenna port) of the PDCCH and the SSB in the second SSB set are quasi co-located, the UE determines the connection with the PDCCH according to the second index and/or the fourth index. The DRMS antenna port quasi co-located SSB in the second SSB set, thereby receiving the PDCCH. For example, the CORESET containing the PDCCH is configured with a Transmission Configuration Indication (Transmission Configuration Indication, TCI) state, and the TCI state ID corresponding to the TCI state corresponds to a second index and/or a fourth index, which is the same as the DMRS antenna port of the PDCCH The SSB in the second SSB set corresponding to the second index and/or the fourth index.
[0222]
For another example, in the case of monitoring the PDCCH corresponding to the system information (SI), the UE learns the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the corresponding system information and the SSB in the second SSB set according to the SSB time domain position and/or QCL relationship in the second SSB set Correspondence, so as to monitor the PDCCH corresponding to the system information. Among them, the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to the SSBs of the QCL in the second SSB set are the same. For example, the second SSB set includes the first SSB and the second SSB, and the first SSB and the second SSB are QCL, then the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to the first SSB and the second SSB are the same.
[0223]
The following is a specific example of the correspondence between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to the SI and the SSB in the second SSB set.
[0224]

[0227]
For example, in the case of receiving PDSCH, when the PDCCH does not indicate the TCI status, the UE assumes that the SSB in the second SSB set quasi-co-located with the DRMS antenna port of the PDSCH is the same as the PDCCH associated with the PDSCH; or, the PDCCH associated with the PDSCH The PDCCH indicates the TCI state of the PDSCH (for example, the DCI includes the TCI state ID), the TCI state ID corresponding to the TCI state corresponds to a second index and/or a fourth index, and the quasi-co-location with the DMRS antenna port of the PDSCH is The SSB in the second SSB set corresponding to the second index and/or the fourth index.
