Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, in the description and claims of this application, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Furthermore, the use of "and/or" in the specification and claims means that at least one of the connected objects, such as a and/or B, means that three cases, a alone, B alone, and both a and B, exist.

In the embodiments of the present invention, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to mean serving as examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "e.g.," an embodiment of the present invention is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, use of the word "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present concepts related in a concrete fashion.

For better understanding of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the following technical points are first introduced:

(1) a wireless transmitter with multiple antennas (e.g., a next generation base station (gNB)) may form a narrower wireless signal pointing in a particular direction (e.g., beamforming). The width and direction of the beam can be flexibly adjusted by applying appropriate weights at each antenna element. Beamforming can be either in the digital domain or in the analog domain.

For digital beamforming, each antenna element has a separate baseband module, and each antenna element can independently control the amplitude and phase of the signal transmitted thereon, and thus, the digital beam can be narrowband (e.g., having a narrower bandwidth than the overall system bandwidth). The different digital beams may be multiplexed in the time or frequency domain. For analog beamforming, multiple antenna elements share the same digital baseband module, with each antenna element having an independent phase shifter. The signal transmitted by each antenna element can only be adjusted in transmit phase shift (no amplitude adjustment can be made). Therefore, the analog beams are broadband and can only be multiplexed in the time domain.

For analog beamforming, the method can be applied to a base station in a wireless communication system and can also be applied to a UE. For uplink transmission from a UE to a base station, analog beamforming of the uplink transmission may be obtained by either the base station or the UE.

The first mode is as follows: if the correspondence relationship between Downlink (DL)/Uplink (UL) beams is established on the UE side (for example, reciprocity between Uplink and Downlink beams is established), the UE can derive its optimal UL Tx beam (Uplink transmission beam, which may also be referred to as Uplink transmission beam) from the DL Rx beam (Downlink reception beam), and the UE can automatically obtain the optimal UL Tx beam. In order for the UE to deduce the UL Tx beam, the UE needs to know the downlink signal used to infer the DL Rx beam. The downlink signal(s) may be pre-configured for higher layer signals or indicated to the UE by the network side. Examples of such downstream signals are: channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) and Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) in a 5G system.

The second mode is as follows: if the beam correspondence of DL/UL is not established at the UE side, the UE cannot acquire UL Tx beam through DL signal, and the gNB is required to perform measurement and selection of UL signal. For example, the UE may transmit a set of uplink reference signals, and different uplink reference signals are transmitted using different UL Tx beams, which allows the gNB to perform uplink measurements using the uplink reference signals and select an optimal transmission beam. Note that this applies regardless of whether the correspondence between the uplink and downlink beams of the UE is established. The gNB needs to first semi-statically configure or dynamically trigger a set of Reference Signal (RS) resources sent by the UE, and after receiving the RSs sent by the UE, the gNB sends an RS resource indication (e.g., sequence number of RS resource) of its tendency to the UE. Thus, the UE can use the transmission beam of the RS resource whose trend is indicated by the gNB to ensure the transmission performance. An example of an UL Signal is a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) in a fifth generation communication technology (5G) system.

Both of the above two methods can be used independently or simultaneously. The base station (hereinafter, the gNB is taken as an example) may indicate its intended RS resource through one indication information.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the indication information of the RS resource that the gNB uses to indicate the trend of the gNB may be described by taking a Sounding reference resource indicator (SRI) as an example. It should be noted that, although the SRI is taken as an example for illustration in the embodiment of the present invention, no matter how the indication information is named, it is within the scope of the present invention. For example: the indication information may be an indication for pointing to other types of RS resources (e.g., DL reference signals or UL reference signals, CSI-RS, SSB, etc.). The gbb and the UE need to know the bit width of the SRI and the RS resource corresponding to each SRI indication state in advance. Each SRI may correspondingly indicate one RS resource, or a group of RS resources.

The SRI for indicating the UL Tx beam may be used for UL signals (e.g., SRS) or uplink channels (e.g., PUSCH, PUCCH, etc.).

(2) Introduction to SRS:

the SRS resource configured to one UE may be divided into various types from the viewpoint of time domain transmission behavior. For periodic SRS (P-SRS) and semi-persistent SRS (SP-SRS), they are transmitted in a certain periodic pattern over time. A time pattern includes a specific period and a specific time offset. For aperiodic SRS (AP-SRS or a-SRS in the following), it can be triggered dynamically by a dynamic signal at any time, instead of following a specific periodic transmission pattern. One trigger signaling may trigger SRS transmission at one time point or multiple time points within a specific time window. The trigger signaling may be carried in DCI (Downlink Control Information) used in a UL grant or a DL grant.

SRS may be used for different purposes. One first type of SRS may be used for the gNB to perform UL CSI (Channel State Information) acquisition. The SRS for CSI acquisition may or may not be analog beamformed, and if there is no analog beamforming, beam indication may be performed via the SRI described above. One second type of SRS may be used for analog beam training, where multiple SRS transmitted by the UE use the same or different beams. Similarly, UL Tx beams may be indicated by the gNB through SRI.

The UL transmission beam for one (target) SRS resource may be provided by an indication of another (source) SRS resource, and the UE may assume that the target SRS resource uses the same UL Tx beam as the source SRS resource. The following are some examples of possible [ source, target ] SRS:

the source SRS resource may be configured and/or activated/deactivated by a Radio Resource Control (RRC) and/or Medium Access Control Element (MAC-CE) signaling.

Source SRS resources of an AP-SRS (adaptive SRS) may be configured by higher layer signaling or dynamically triggered by grant (or Downlink Control Information (DCI)) for AP SRS triggering.

Source SRS resources of an AP-SRS (adaptive SRS) may be configured by higher layer signaling or dynamically triggered by grant (or DCI signaling) for AP SRS triggering.

[ AP, P/SP ] the UL Tx beam of the target SRS can be dynamically changed based on the dynamic triggering of the source AP-SRS. The relationship between the transmission time instant of the AP-SRS, for example, slot n1(slot n1), and the starting time instant at which the transmission beam of the AP-SRS is applied to the target SRS resource, for example, slot n2, needs to be defined in advance. For example: fixed, or via configuration messages of higher layer signaling of the target SRS and/or the source SRS, or via dynamic indication (which may be a separate signal or the same signal as the dynamic signal triggering the AP-SRS).

One SRS resource set may include one or more SRS resources. SRS in 5G may have multiple uses, for example for UL CSI acquisition (digital beamforming), and/or UL transmit beam management (analog beamforming):

the SRS for UL CSI acquisition (digital beamforming) may be transmitted with or without analog beamforming, and the UL Tx beam of the SRS may be determined based on any of the manners described above.

SRS for UL beam management (analog beamforming) can be used for different purposes, such as: p2 and P3, wherein P2 denotes Rx (receive) beam scanning of the gNB, which requires the UE to transmit multiple SRS resources (e.g., one SRS resource set) using the same UL Tx beam. The UL Tx beam is determined by the UE or the UL Tx beam is determined by the gNB and indicated to the UE through signaling. P3 denotes UE-side Tx beam scanning, which requires the UE to transmit multiple SRS resources (e.g., one SRS resource set) using different UL Tx beams. The UL Tx beam may be determined by the UE or indicated by the gNB.

There are many other types of Uplink (UL) signals in wireless communication systems, such as: physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH). The PUCCH may be used for transmitting uplink control Information, including but not limited to, a positive Acknowledgement (ACK)/Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) response of Downlink data transmission, Downlink (DL) Channel State Information (CSI), and a Downlink beam measurement result. One UE may configure one or more PUCCH resources. The uplink transmission beam of one PUCCH signal may be dynamically indicated or semi-statically configured. When one PUCCH signal is semi-statically configured, a transmission beam (Tx beam) of one specific PUCCH resource is semi-statically configured by the base station. One way is to configure a set of Tx beams containing N candidate Tx beams for each PUCCH resource through RRC signals, wherein N ≧ 1. If N is 1, the beam configured for the PUCCH by the RRC signal may be directly used for the PUCCH without further activation or deactivation. If N ≧ 1, the exact Tx beam can be selected for the PUCCH resource by an additional DL control signal (e.g., MAC-CE information or dynamic signal).

The PUCCH and SRS from the UE may be transmitted simultaneously (simultaneous transmission here means that they are transmitted on the same UL transmission resource, which is assumed to be one slot containing multiple Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols). When transmission is in the same slot, the PUCCH and SRS may be multiplexed in time domain, frequency domain, or in other multiplexing manners (e.g., Code Division Multiplexing (CDM)). One example is shown in figure 1.

The time length of PUCCH and SRS may be fixed, semi-statically configured, or dynamically changing per slot. In fig. 1, the PUCCH is transmitted before the SRS, and it should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention are also applicable to other transmission sequences, for example: case where PUCCH is transmitted after SRS.

If the PUCCH or SRS is transmitted separately on one time domain resource block (e.g., slot), the UL Tx beam may be determined by the method described above. If the PUCCH and SRS are transmitted simultaneously on the same time domain resource block, how to determine the UL Tx beam is a problem to be solved. Because the base station and the UE agree in advance or the UL Tx beam of the PUCCH and SRS indicated to the UE by the base station may be different, the UE may not be able to transmit signals using multiple UL Tx beams in the same time domain resource block.

Embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The data transmission method and the data transmission equipment provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system may be a 5G system, an Evolved Long Term Evolution (lte) system, or a subsequent lte communication system. Fig. 2 is a block diagram of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the wireless communication system may include: the network side device 20 and a user equipment, for example, a user equipment is denoted as UE 21, and the UE 21 can communicate with the network side device 20. In practical applications, the connections between the above devices may be wireless connections, and fig. 2 is illustrated with solid lines for convenience and intuition of the connection relationships between the devices.

It should be noted that the communication system may include a plurality of UEs, and the network side device may communicate (transmit signaling or transmit data) with the plurality of UEs.

The network side device provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be a base station, and the network side device may be a commonly used base station, an evolved node base station (eNB), or a network side device in a 5G system (for example, a next generation base station (gNB) or a Transmission and Reception Point (TRP)).

The user equipment provided by the embodiment of the invention can be a Mobile phone, a tablet Computer, a notebook Computer, an Ultra-Mobile Personal Computer (UMPC), a netbook or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and the like.

The beam in the embodiment of the present invention may be an analog beam, a digital beam, or an analog/digital hybrid beam, and may also correspond to precoding, analog precoding, digital precoding, and the like.

Referring to fig. 3, a flow of a data transmission method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in the figure, where an execution subject of the method is a UE, and the method includes the following specific steps:

step 301, receiving first indication information sent by a network side device, where the first indication information is used to indicate a UE to send a first signal and a second signal;

it should be noted that, in the first indication information, the information for instructing the UE to transmit the first signal and the information for instructing the UE to transmit the second signal may be the same information or different information, and when the information is different information, the information may be transmitted on one time domain resource block, or may be transmitted on different time domain resource blocks. The first indication information is not limited to be one indication information in the embodiment of the present invention.

It is understood that the first indication information may also include various types of signaling, such as RRC signaling, MAC-CE signaling, DCI signaling, etc. For example: the first indication information includes DCI information indicating the UE to transmit the first signal and another DCI information indicating the UE to transmit the second signal, the indication information indicating the UE to transmit the first signal is transmitted through one DCI, and the indication information indicating the UE to transmit the second signal is transmitted through another DCI.

The first indication information may further include resource allocation information of the first signal and/or the second signal, where the resource allocation information includes time-frequency resource location information for signal transmission. For example, the first indication information includes RRC signaling related to the first signal resource configuration and RRC signaling related to the second signal resource configuration, and MAC-CE information indicating that the UE transmits the first signal DCI signaling and the UE transmits the second signal. For another example, the first indication information includes RRC signaling related to the first signal resource configuration, DCI signaling instructing the UE to send the first signal, and DCI signaling including indication information instructing the UE to send the second signal and second signal resource allocation information. The resource allocation information of the first signal and/or the second signal included in the first indication information may also be the same information as the information for instructing the UE to transmit the first signal and/or the second signal. For example, the first indication information includes information indicating the UE to transmit the second signal, and the second signal is a periodic SRS, the first indication information is RRC configuration information of the second signal, and includes information of a time-frequency resource location, a period, a time offset, and the like of the second signal, and the RRC configuration information is indication information indicating the UE to transmit the second signal periodically.

The first indication information may indicate that the first signal and the second signal are transmitted simultaneously on the same time domain resource block. It can be understood that the indication that the first signal and the second signal are transmitted simultaneously on one time domain resource block does not limit that the first signal and the second signal can only be transmitted on the time domain resource block. The time frequency resources allocated by the network side equipment for the first signal and the second signal are not limited to the same time domain resource block. Take the unit of time domain resource block as time slot as an example. Suppose that: the time frequency resource allocated by the network side equipment for the first signal is in a time slot N1-N4, the time frequency resource allocated for the second signal is in a time slot N4, and the network side equipment indicates the terminal to transmit the first signal and the second signal, so that the network side equipment also indicates the UE to transmit the first signal and the second signal in the same time domain resource block, wherein the time domain resource block is a time slot N4. It can be understood that, the transmission of the first signal and the second signal on the same time domain resource block does not limit that the corresponding frequency domain resources of the first signal and the second signal on the same time domain resource block are the same. For example, the first signal corresponds to a time slot n in the time domain, corresponds to a 1 st PRB in the frequency domain, and the second signal corresponds to the time slot n in the time domain, and corresponds to a 2 nd PRB in the frequency domain, it is considered that the first signal and the second signal are transmitted on the same time domain resource block, and the same time domain resource block in this example corresponds to the time slot n.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the time domain resource block may be one slot, or the time domain resource block may be a group of slots, or the time domain resource block may be a plurality of OFDM symbols; and/or the size of the time domain resource block is predefined, or the size of the time frequency resource block is default, or the size of the time domain resource block is predetermined by the network side equipment and the UE; and/or the starting position of the time domain resource block is predetermined by the network side equipment and the UE, and/or the starting position of the time domain resource block is indicated to the UE by the network side equipment through signaling.

It should be noted that the time unit in the embodiment of the present invention may be a symbol (symbol), a slot (slot), a subframe (subframe), a subslot (subslot), and the like.

In the embodiment of the invention, the first signal is a PUSCH, and the second signal is an SRS; or the first signal is PUCCH and the second signal is SRS; or the first signal is a PUSCH and the second signal is a PUCCH. It should be understood that the first signal is not limited to the signals listed in the embodiments of the present invention, for example, the first signal may also be an SRS or other uplink signal, and the second signal is also not limited to the signals listed in the embodiments of the present invention.

Step 302, determining whether a time domain resource block is needed to transmit the first signal and the second signal;

it should be noted that step 302 is an optional step.

It should be noted that the second information used for the UE to determine the uplink transmission beam of the first signal and/or the second signal may be one piece of indication information or multiple pieces of indication information. For example, the information of the uplink transmission beam corresponding to the first signal and the information of the uplink transmission beam corresponding to the second signal in the second indication information may be transmitted on one time domain resource block, and the information of the uplink transmission beam corresponding to the first signal and the information of the uplink transmission beam corresponding to the second signal in the second indication information may also be transmitted at different time instants.

It will be appreciated that the second indication may also comprise various types of signalling. Such as RRC signaling, MAC-CE signaling, DCI signaling, etc. For example: the second indication information comprises RRC configuration information used for UE to determine an uplink transmission beam of the first signal and DCI information used for UE to determine an uplink transmission beam of the second signal; for example, the second indication information includes RRC configuration information indicating a plurality of uplink transmission beams for the first signal, and DCI indication information indicating an uplink transmission beam corresponding to the first signal among the plurality of uplink transmission beams included in the RRC configuration information.

Step 303, when the first signal and the second signal need to be transmitted on one time domain resource block, determining uplink transmission beams of the first signal and the second signal;

it can be understood that the indication that the first signal and the second signal are transmitted on one time domain resource block does not limit that the first signal and the second signal can only be transmitted on the time domain resource block. The time frequency resources allocated by the network side equipment for the first signal and the second signal are not limited to the same time domain resource block. Take the unit of time domain resource block as time slot as an example. Suppose that: the time frequency resource allocated by the network side equipment for the first signal is in a time slot N1-N4, the time frequency resource allocated for the second signal is in a time slot N4, and the network side equipment indicates the terminal to transmit the first signal and the second signal, so that the network side equipment also indicates the UE to transmit the first signal and the second signal in the same time domain resource block, wherein the time domain resource block is a time slot N4. It can be understood that, the transmission of the first signal and the second signal on the same time domain resource block does not limit that the corresponding frequency domain resources of the first signal and the second signal on the same time domain resource block are the same. For example, the first signal corresponds to a time slot n in the time domain, corresponds to a 1 st PRB in the frequency domain, and the second signal corresponds to the time slot n in the time domain, and corresponds to a 2 nd PRB in the frequency domain, it is considered that the first signal and the second signal are transmitted on the same time domain resource block, and the same time domain resource block in this example corresponds to the time slot n.

And step 304, transmitting the first signal and the second signal on one time domain resource block through the uplink transmission beam.

In this embodiment of the present invention, in step 304, the uplink transmission beams of the first signal and the second signal may be determined by any one of the following manners:

the method comprises the steps of receiving second indication information sent by network side equipment, and determining a first beam corresponding to a first signal according to the second indication information; then determining the first wave beam as an uplink transmission wave beam for transmitting the first signal and the second signal;

in the fourth embodiment, a default beam is determined as the uplink transmission beam for transmitting the first signal and/or the second signal, and the default beam may be the uplink transmission beam initially accessed to the Msg3, but is not limited thereto.

Determining the time interval between the first signal and the second signal; then determining an uplink transmission beam for transmitting the first signal and the second signal according to the time interval;

For example: the size of the time interval may be equal to the time required for uplink transmission beam switching of the UE. And the UE with different uplink transmission beam switching capabilities corresponds to different time interval sizes.

In the method b, when no time interval exists between the first signal and the second signal, or when a time interval exists between the first signal and the second signal and is smaller than a threshold value, the same beam is determined as an uplink transmission beam for transmitting the first signal and the second signal; the same beam may be a first beam corresponding to the first signal, or a second beam corresponding to the second signal, or a predefined beam, such as a default beam (default beam).

In the embodiment of the present invention, the size of the time interval corresponds to the uplink transmission beam switching capability of the UE, or the size of the time interval is predefined. For example: the size of the time interval may be equal to the time required for uplink transmission beam switching of the UE. And the UE with different uplink transmission beam switching capabilities corresponds to different time interval sizes.

Optionally, the uplink transmission beam switching capability of the UE, which is transmitted to the network side device, is time required for beam switching.

Referring to fig. 4, a flow of a data transmission method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in the figure, where an execution subject of the method is a UE, and the method includes the following specific steps:

step 401, receiving first indication information sent by a network side device, where the first indication information is used to indicate a UE to send a first signal and a second signal;

It is understood that the multiple pieces of information included in the first indication information may be indicated in the same signaling or may be indicated in different signaling; the information can be sent to the UE once, or can be sent to the UE at a plurality of times; it may contain both RRC signaling and DCI signaling.

It is to be understood that the types of signaling included in the first indication information may be RRC signaling, MAC-CE signaling, DCI signaling, etc. For example: the first indication information includes DCI information indicating the UE to transmit the first signal and another DCI information indicating the UE to transmit the second signal, the indication information indicating the UE to transmit the first signal is transmitted through one DCI, and the indication information indicating the UE to transmit the second signal is transmitted through another DCI.

A time domain resource block may be one or a group of slots, or a time domain resource block may be a plurality of OFDM symbols; and/or the size of the time domain resource block is predefined, or the size of the time domain resource block is predetermined by the network side equipment and the UE; and/or the starting position of the time domain resource block is predetermined by the network side equipment and the UE, or the starting position of the time domain resource block is indicated to the UE by the network side equipment through signaling.

Step 403, transmitting a first signal and/or a second signal according to the first indication information, the first resource and the second resource.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the resource that is not used for transmitting the first signal and/or the second signal in the resources allocated for the first signal and/or the second signal may be determined by one or more of the following manners:

determining that a resource which is not used for transmitting a first signal is a resource corresponding to a first time unit, and if the first time unit exists, not sending the first signal in the first time unit;

In this embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the time corresponding to the first time unit is greater than or equal to the sum of the time corresponding to the third time unit and the beam switching time interval; and/or the time corresponding to the second time unit is greater than or equal to the sum of the time corresponding to the third time unit and the beam switching time interval;

the beam switching time interval is a beam switching time interval required by the UE for performing beam switching, or a beam switching time interval corresponding to a beam switching capability reported by the UE, or a beam switching time interval indicated by the network side device for the UE, or a predetermined beam switching time interval.

It should be noted that the determining action of the UE may be to determine whether two time units exist simultaneously or sequentially, or may also be to determine only one of the time units exists, for example, the UE determines whether the second time unit and the first time unit exist, and as a result of the determination, the second time unit does not exist and the first time unit exists, or the UE may determine whether the second time unit exists and only the first time unit exists without determining whether the second time unit exists.

In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the time corresponding to the first time unit and/or the second time unit is determined based on a rule, where the rule is predefined or configured by a network side device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the method further includes: determining an uplink transmission beam for transmitting the first signal and/or the second signal; and transmitting a first signal and/or a second signal on the same time domain resource block through the uplink transmission beam according to the first resource and the second resource.

In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the uplink transmission beam for transmitting the first signal and/or the second signal is determined by any one of the following manners:

the method comprises the steps of receiving second indication information sent by network side equipment, and determining a first beam corresponding to a first signal according to the second indication information; then determining the first wave beam as an uplink transmitting wave beam for transmitting the first signal and the second signal;

Receiving second indication information sent by the network side equipment, and determining a second beam corresponding to a second signal according to the second indication information; then, determining a second wave beam as an uplink transmission wave beam for transmitting the first signal and the second signal;

When the first signal and the second signal collide in the same time-frequency resource block, if the two signals are transmitted simultaneously, the PUCCH and/or SRS may not be decoded reliably, thereby affecting the system performance. In the embodiment of the invention, the UE can determine the time unit which needs to be discarded in the first signal and/or the second signal which are simultaneously transmitted on one time-frequency resource block, so that the problem that one or two signals cannot be reliably decoded due to the collision of the first signal and the second signal is avoided, and the system performance is improved.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if it is determined that the first time unit does not exist, the second resource corresponding to the first time unit does not exist. And if the second time unit does not exist, the second resource corresponding to the second time unit does not exist. If it is determined that neither the first time unit nor the second time unit is present, then the second resource is not present. Step 403 is to transmit a first signal and a second signal according to the first indication information and the first resource.

In this embodiment of the present invention, if it is determined that the number of first time units is equal to or greater than the number of time domain time units allocated to the first signal, no first signal is transmitted on the first resource allocated to the first signal, and at this time step 403 corresponds to transmitting the second signal on the first resource according to the first indication information. Similarly, if it is determined that the second number of time units is equal to or greater than the number of time domain time units allocated for the second signal, then no second signal is transmitted on the first resource allocated for the second signal, at which point step 403 corresponds to transmitting the first signal on the first resource in accordance with the first indication information. As a specific example, if it is determined that the first number of time units is equal to or greater than the number of time domain time units allocated for the first signal and the second number of time units is equal to or greater than the number of time domain time units allocated for the second signal, then no first signal and no second signal are transmitted on the first resources allocated for the first signal and the second signal, at which point 403 does not exist, i.e., the first signal and the second signal are no longer transmitted.

It should be understood, of course, that in the embodiment of the present invention, the sending order of the first indication information and the second indication information is not limited.

Step 603, receiving the first signal and/or the second signal according to the first resource and the second resource.

In an embodiment of the present invention, a second resource, which is not used for transmitting the first signal and/or the second signal, in the first resource may be determined by:

In this embodiment of the present invention, optionally, receiving the first signal and/or the second signal according to the first resource and the second resource includes: determining an uplink transmission beam for the UE to transmit the first signal and/or the second signal; receiving the first signal and/or the second signal through an uplink receiving beam corresponding to the uplink transmitting beam according to the first resource and the second resource; or determining an uplink receiving beam corresponding to an uplink transmitting beam of the first signal and the second signal; and receiving the first signal and/or the second signal through the uplink receiving beam according to the first resource and the second resource.

In this embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the determining an uplink transmission beam for the UE to transmit the first signal and/or the second signal includes: determining a first beam corresponding to the first signal as an uplink transmission beam for the UE to transmit the first signal and/or a second signal; or determining a second beam corresponding to the second signal as an uplink transmission beam for transmitting the first signal and/or the second signal; or, determining a first beam corresponding to the first signal as an uplink transmission beam for transmitting the first signal; determining a second beam corresponding to the second signal as an uplink transmission beam for transmitting the second signal; or determining an uplink transmission beam for the UE to transmit the first signal and/or the second signal according to a time interval between the first signal and the second signal; the time interval is from the end of the time-frequency resource allocated to the first signal to the start of the time-frequency resource allocated to the second signal, or from the end of the time-frequency resource allocated to the second signal to the start of the time-frequency resource allocated to the first signal, or from the first time unit after the end of the time-frequency resource allocated to the first signal to the start of the time-frequency resource allocated to the second signal, or from the first time unit after the end of the time-frequency resource allocated to the second signal to the start of the time-frequency resource allocated to the first signal.

In this embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the determining, according to the time interval between the first signal and the second signal, an uplink transmission beam for the UE to transmit the first signal and/or the second signal includes:

In this embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the size of the time interval corresponds to an uplink transmission beam switching capability of the UE; or the size of the time interval is predefined;

In this embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the method further includes: and indicating the time interval or the threshold value to the UE in a semi-static indication or dynamic indication mode.

In this embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the method further includes: and receiving the uplink transmission beam switching capability transmitted by the UE.

In an embodiment of the invention, after determining the second resource not used for transmitting the first signal, the first signal is not received on the resource.

In an embodiment of the invention, after determining the second resource not used for transmitting the second signal, the second signal is not received on the resource.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if it is determined that the first time unit does not exist, the second resource corresponding to the first time unit does not exist. And if the second time unit does not exist, the second resource corresponding to the second time unit does not exist. If it is determined that neither the first time unit nor the second time unit is present, then the second resource is not present. Step 603 is to receive a first signal and a second signal according to the first indication information and the first resource.

In this embodiment of the present invention, if it is determined that the number of first time units is equal to or greater than the number of time domain time units allocated to the first signal, no first signal is transmitted on the first resource allocated to the first signal, and step 603 corresponds to receiving the second signal according to the first indication information and the first resource. Similarly, if it is determined that the second number of time units is equal to or greater than the number of time domain time units allocated for the second signal, then no second signal is transmitted on the first resource allocated for the second signal, at which point 603 step corresponds to receiving the first signal on the first resource in accordance with the first indication information. As a specific example, if it is determined that the first number of time units is equal to or greater than the number of time domain time units allocated to the first signal and the second number of time units is equal to or greater than the number of time domain time units allocated to the second signal, no first signal and no second signal are transmitted on the first resource allocated to the first signal and the second signal, and at this time, step 603 does not exist, that is, the first signal and the second signal are not received on the time domain resource block.

It is assumed that the UE transmits the first signal, or the second signal, or both the first and second signals at one time domain resource block. As an example, it is not assumed that if the first signal is transmitted alone (i.e., without transmission of the second signal), the Tx beam of the first signal, which is referred to as the first beam, may be determined in the first manner. If the second signal is transmitted alone (i.e., without transmission of the first signal), the Tx beam of the second signal, referred to as the second beam, may be determined in a second manner. The first mode and the second mode may be the same or different, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

For example, assume that the first signal is a PUCSH or PUCCH and the second signal is an SRS. It is assumed that the first signal is sustained for a time length of N1 'symbols if it is transmitted separately on the time domain resource block and for a time length of N2' symbols if the second signal is transmitted separately on the time domain resource block. It is assumed that the number of symbols actually occupied by the transmission of the first signal and the second signal is N1 and N2, respectively, where N1 '≧ N1, N2' ≧ N2.

If the first signal and the second signal need to be transmitted simultaneously, the first signal precedes the second signal, assuming they are TDM. There may be a time interval between the transmission of the first signal and the second signal, and the length of the time interval is not assumed to be N3 symbols, where N3 ≧ 0. The time interval is from the end of the time-frequency resource allocated to the first signal to the start of the time-frequency resource allocated to the second signal. Preferably, the time interval is a time interval from an end symbol of a time-frequency resource allocated for the first signal to a start symbol of a time-frequency resource allocated for the second signal. An example is shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 1^stsignal denotes the first signal, 2^ndsignal denotes the second signal.

In the above embodiments, the method for determining a transmission beam according to the second indication information includes, but is not limited to, the following manners:

the second indication information is a reference signal associated with the first signal (or the second signal) indicated by the base station. The UE may determine a transmit beam for the first signal (or the second signal) from a transmit or receive beam for a reference signal associated with the first signal (or the second signal) indicated by the base station. For example, the reference signal associated with the first signal (or the second signal) is a downlink signal, and the UE determines a transmission beam of the first signal (or the second signal) according to a reception beam of the downlink signal. For another example, the reference signal associated with the first signal (or the second signal) is an uplink signal, and the UE uses a transmission beam of the uplink signal as a transmission beam of the first signal (or the second signal). The reference signal may be: channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) in a 5G system, Synchronization Signal Block (SSB), DMRS, SRS, and the like.

The second indication information is a reference signal indicated by the base station. For example, the base station indicates one SRS resource through SRI. The terminal adopts a transmission beam of the SRS resource corresponding to the SRI indication as the determined beam.

Example 1

This example provides a data transmission flow, which includes the following specific steps:

step 0: the UE detects whether the first signal and the second signal are transmitted simultaneously;

the simultaneous transmission refers to the transmission of the first signal and the second signal in one time-frequency resource block. A time-frequency resource block may be one or a group of slots, or may also be a plurality of symbols, etc.

The size of a time-frequency resource block may be predefined or predetermined by the base station and the terminal.

The initial position of a time-frequency resource block may also be predetermined, or the base station indicates to the terminal through signaling.

The UE detecting whether the first signal and the second signal are transmitted simultaneously may include the steps of: the method comprises the steps that UE receives first indication information sent by network side equipment, wherein the first indication information comprises indication information indicating that the UE sends a first signal and a second signal and resource allocation information of the first signal and the second signal; and the UE determines whether the first signal and the second signal are transmitted simultaneously according to the resource allocation information of the first signal and the second signal in the first indication information. And if the resource allocation information of the first signal and the second signal comprises the same time domain resource block, the base station determines that the first signal and the second signal are transmitted in the same time frequency resource block, namely the first signal and the second signal are transmitted simultaneously.

Step 1, if the first signal and the second signal need to be transmitted simultaneously, then:

in one example, the UE uses a first beam corresponding to the first signal determined according to the first manner as a transmission beam for the first signal and the second signal.

In another example, the UE determines uplink transmit beams for the first and second signals as a function of a time domain relationship between the first and second signals. For example: the time domain relation between the first signal and the second signal is the sending time interval of the first signal and the second signal.

For example: if a time domain interval (N3) exists between the first signal and the second signal and the time domain interval (N3) is greater than a threshold value, the UE uses the first beam as an uplink transmission beam for the first signal and uses the second beam as an uplink transmission beam for the second signal.

If there is no time interval (N3) between the first signal and the second signal or the time domain interval (N3) is less than a threshold value, the UE uses the same beam for the first signal and the second signal. For example, this same beam may be the first beam, or the second beam, or a predefined beam, such as: a default beam (default beam), which may be an uplink transmission beam initially accessing Msg3, but is not limited thereto.

The size of the time interval (N3) may depend on the speed at which the UE switches its uplink transmit beam. The size of the time interval (N3) may be predefined or indicated semi-statically by the base station to the UE or dynamically. The UE may or may not report its capabilities with respect to the beam switching time interval to the base station.

The time interval (N3) may be greater than or equal to one time slot. Alternatively, if the UE can complete the switching of the Tx beam within the duration of one cyclic prefix, the time interval (N3) is 0.

The size of this threshold value may depend on the speed at which the UE switches its UL Tx beam. The threshold value may be predefined, or semi-statically indicated by the base station to the UE, or dynamically indicated. The threshold value may be greater than or equal to one time slot in size.

Wherein, the first mode and the second mode include but are not limited to the following modes:

-the UE determining a transmit beam of the first signal (or the second signal) from a transmit or receive beam of a reference signal associated with the first signal (or the second signal) indicated by the base station. For example, the reference signal associated with the first signal (or the second signal) is a downlink signal, and the UE determines a transmission beam of the first signal (or the second signal) according to a reception beam of the downlink signal. For another example, the reference signal associated with the first signal (or the second signal) is an uplink signal, and the UE uses a transmission beam of the uplink signal as a transmission beam of the first signal (or the second signal). The reference signal may be: channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) in a 5G system, Synchronization Signal Block (SSB), DMRS, SRS, and the like.

-the UE determining a transmission beam from a reference signal indicated by the base station. For example, the base station indicates one SRS resource through SRI. The terminal adopts a transmission beam of the SRS resource corresponding to the SRI indication as the determined beam.

-the UE determining a transmission beam based on the downlink channel information.

Step 2: the UE transmits the first signal and the second signal using the transmission beam determined in the previous step.

Example 2:

it is assumed that the first and second signals are scheduled to have duration lengths of N1 'and N2' OFDM symbols, respectively, when transmitted separately (i.e., the base station allocates N1 'OFDM symbols to the first signal and N2' OFDM symbols to the second signal). When the first signal and the second signal are transmitted in the same slot (assuming that one time domain resource block is one slot), the first signal and the second signal may overlap in the time domain according to the values of N1 'and N2' and the positions of the first signal and the second signal. For example, if N1 'is 10 and N2' is 6, the total number of OFDM symbols is 16, which exceeds the maximum number of OFDM symbols contained in one slot (14). When a collision occurs (i.e., the first signal and the second signal occupy the same time-frequency resources), the first signal, or the second signal, or some or all of the symbols of the first signal and the second signal may need to be discarded.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that when the first signal and the second signal collide, part or all of the second signal is discarded. The method of the embodiment of the present invention is also applicable to the case where part or all of the first signal is discarded or parts of each of the first signal and the second signal are discarded.

In the simplest way, the UE discards only the part of the first signal and the second signal that collide, and the other part of the signal continues to be transmitted.

step 0: determining the number of symbols in which the first signal and the second signal collide, and representing the number of symbols as N4;

it should be noted that the corresponding behavior on the base station side is: and the base station sends the resource allocation information of the first signal and the second signal to the UE and instructs the UE to send the first signal and the second signal. One implementation is as follows: when the base station transmits the resource configuration information of the first signal or the second signal, the first signal or the second signal is transmitted according to the resource configuration information, that is, the UE is instructed to transmit the first signal or the second signal while configuring the first signal or the second signal. Of course, the resource allocation information of the first signal and the second signal transmitted by the base station to the UE and the information instructing the terminal to transmit the first signal and the second signal may be different information.

The collision refers to that the time-frequency resources allocated to the first signal and the second signal by the base station are overlapped.

The part where the collision occurs refers to the part where the time-frequency resources overlap.

Step 1: the portion of the second signal corresponding to the colliding symbols is discarded.

In the figure, the first signal is shown in the front, and the second signal is shown in the rear. It will of course be appreciated that embodiments of the invention are also applicable to the case where the second signal is preceding and the first signal is succeeding. Both need to be covered. After the part of the second signal corresponding to the colliding symbols is discarded, the duration length of the first signal is N1 ' symbols, and the duration length of the second signal is N2 ═ N2 ' -N4 ' symbols, see fig. 8.

Step 2: the UE determines uplink transmission beams of the first signal and the second signal.

In one embodiment: the first signal and the second signal use the same uplink transmission beam.

As one way: the UE uses the first beam as an uplink transmission beam for the first signal and the second signal.

As another way, the UE uses the second beam as an uplink transmission beam for the first signal and the second signal.

As yet another way, the UE uses one configured predefined default beam. For example: the default beam may be an uplink transmission beam used for the initial access procedure, e.g., a third message (Msg3) of a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH).

In another embodiment, the first signal and the second signal use different transmit beams.

For example: the UE uses the first beam as an uplink transmission beam for the first signal, and the second beam as an uplink transmission beam for the second signal. If the switching time of the uplink transmission beam of the UE is less than the time of a CP (cyclic prefix), the UE may use different uplink transmission beams on consecutive OFDM symbols.

And step 3: the UE transmits the first signal and/or the second signal.

The base station-side procedure corresponds to the UE-side procedure, and is similar to the procedure in fig. 6, and will not be described again here.

Example 3

Alternatively, the UE discards more than the first signal and the second signal collide. In this example, after the signal is discarded, the first signal and the second signal are no longer continuous.

step 0: the UE determines the number of symbols of the first signal and the second signal which are in conflict, and the number of symbols is represented as N4;

it should be noted that in one case, when N4 is 0 and N4 is 0, some symbols may need to be discarded in this example. For example, the number of discarded symbols is such that the time interval from the transmission end time of the preceding signal (first signal in the diagram) to the transmission start time of the following signal (second signal in the diagram) is equal to a certain value. The value may be determined according to the beam switching capability of the UE, or the value may be predefined.

As an optional step, the UE indicates to the base station the time required for beam switching, for example: the unit of time is a symbol in this example, and the UE may report the indication through an explicit indication or through UE capability.

Step 1: the UE determines the number of symbols that need to be dropped, denoted as N5.

Optionally, the last N5 symbols of the first signal are discarded, or the first N5 symbols of the second signal are discarded.

The number of discarded symbols is at least such that after symbol discarding, there is no longer a collision between the first signal and the second signal.

In an embodiment, N5 ≧ N4+ N6N6 denotes a beam switching time interval, such as a beam switching time interval required for the UE to perform beam switching, or a beam switching time interval indicated by the network side device for the UE, or a predetermined beam switching time interval:

if N5> N4+ N6, there is a time interval between the first signal and the second signal after signal dropping, which allows the switching of the Tx beam (if the UE can switch its transmission beam within the CP time). In this embodiment, the first signal and the second signal are no longer continuous.

If N5 is N4+ N6, the first signal and the second signal are continuous after signal discarding. The first signal and the second signal may use different Tx beams if the UE can switch the Tx beams for the duration of the CP. Otherwise, the first and second signals use the same Tx beam.

The number of symbols dropped by the UE may be based on a special rule, e.g. based on the values of N1 and N2, or also based on the value of N3. The rules may be fixed or pre-configured across the network.

Step 2: optionally, the UE determines uplink transmission beams of the first signal and the second signal.

In one embodiment, the UE uses the same beam for the first signal and the second signal. For example, a first beam, or a second beam, or a predefined default beam, for example: an uplink transmit beam of Msg 3.

In another embodiment, the UE uses the first beam as a beam for the first signal and the second beam as a beam for the second signal. This applies when the time interval (including the CP length) between the first signal and the second signal after signal dropping is large enough to complete the beam switching.

And step 3: the UE transmits the first signal and the second signal.

Optionally, the transmission priority when the first signal and the second signal collide is predetermined. Some possible examples are as follows:

for example: the first signal is an SRS, and the second signal is a PUCCH used for CSI reporting. The transmission priorities of the first signal and the second signal are as follows:

table 1: priority rules between SRS and PUCCH for CSI reporting

As shown in the above table, using the method of example 2 or example 3, part or all of the signals having low priority are discarded. Taking semi-persistent SRS (semi-persistent SRS) and sPUCCH with aperiodic CSI report only (short PUCCH carrying aperiodic CSI report) as an example, if the scheduling of the two is overlapped in time, according to example 2, the collision symbols of the semi-persistent SRS are discarded; according to example 3, the N5 symbols of the semi-persistent SRS are discarded.

For another example, the following priorities are set:

table 2: priority rules between SRS and PUCCH for beam reporting

In the method described above, part or all of the signals having low priority are discarded.

There may of course be some other examples of signal transmission priorities or priorities indicating signal dropping in other forms, and by using the priorities, it may be determined which signals are dropped partially or completely, and the method described in the embodiments of the present invention may be adopted, although not necessarily described herein.

Different types of SRS may be included in a system, such as SRS for uplink CSI acquisition, SRS for beamforming. Alternatively, the application of the above steps may be independent of the type of SRS. For example, whether SRS for UL beam management or SRS for UL CSI acquisition. Alternatively, the above steps are applicable to certain types of SRS, not others (e.g., to SRS for UL CSI acquisition, but not for SRS for wave speed management).

Alternatively, SRS of different time domain characteristics use different methods. For example, periodic SRS uses a different approach than aperiodic SRS.

Optionally, the method used is independent of the time domain characteristics of the SRS.
