Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application is the U.S. national phase of PCT Application PCT/CN2018/090802 filed on Jun. 12, 2018, which claims a priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201710459744.3 filed on Jun. 16, 2017, the disclosures of which are incorporated in their entirety by reference herein.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technologies, in particular to a channel measurement processing method and a device.


BACKGROUND

Radio access technology standards, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE)/LTE-A (LTE-Advanced), are built on the basis of the MIMO plus the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology. The MIMO technology utilizes the spatial freedom that multi-antenna systems can achieve to improve peak rate and system spectrum utilization. Massive MIMO technology uses a large-scale antenna array and uses digital-analog hybrid beamforming technology, that is, based on the traditional digital domain beamforming, a first-order beamforming is added to a RF signal at the position closed to the front end of the antenna system. Analog beamforming enables a relatively coarse match between the transmitted signal and the channel in a relatively simple way.


At present, in the academic and industrial, the training of the simulated beamforming vector is usually performed by means of roll polling, that is, the array elements of each polarization direction of each antenna panel sequentially transmit the training signals in the time-division multiplexing manner at the appointed time (i.e., the candidate beamforming vectors), and the terminal feedbacks the beam measurement report after the measurement is performed, which is for the network side using the training signal to implement the analog beam transmission in the next transmission service. The content of the beam measurement report typically includes several optimal transmit beam identifiers and the measured received power of each transmit beam.


Beam management mainly refers to processes such as beam measurement, beam reporting, and beam indication, etc. in beam management, it is necessary to use transmit beam sweeping (Tx beam sweeping) and receiving beam sweeping (Rx beam sweeping) to measure the optimal transmit and receive beam pair link (BPL). At present, beam sweeping of beam management supports beam measurement using a UE-specific Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS). The information included in the CSI-RS configuration includes: number of CSI-RS resources, number of times of time domain repetition associated with each CSI-RS resource, a CSI-RS resource pattern (RE pattern), number of CSI-RS antenna ports, a CSI-RS cycle.


The CSI-RS measurement resource activation/deactivation command is introduced in R14, here, the semi-continuous CSI-RS measurement report is not introduced, and the activation/deactivation of the semi-continuous CSI-RS measurement report is not introduced. The CSI-RS measurement report introduced at the time is bound to the activation/deactivation of the CSI-RS measurement resource. If the CSI-RS measurement resource is activated, the CSI-RS measurement report is activated; if the CSI-RS measurement resource is deactivated, the CSI-RS measurement report is deactivated, which causes waste of resources, because in many scenarios, when the measurement resource is activated, the measurement report may not be reported, that is, the measurement report can be deactivated at this time.


The method in the related art performs binding control on measurement reports and measurement resources, resulting in waste of resources.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The specific embodiments of the present disclosure are further described below in combination with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.



FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a channel measurement processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, including steps 101-103.


In step 101, a channel measurement command sent by a base station is received.


The channel measurement command is a command sent by the base station to the mobile terminal for performing beam measurement on the channel.


Specifically, the channel measurement command may include: activation command for a measurement report, deactivation command for a measurement report, activation command for a measurement resource, and deactivation command for a measurement resource.


The measurement resource is a resource issued by the base station to the mobile terminal for performing beam measurement on the channel.


The measurement report is a report formed by the mobile terminal performing beam measurement according to the measurement resource, and the mobile terminal reports the measurement report to the base station.


In step 102, the channel measurement command is parsed according to a preset rule, and an operation object and an operation type of the channel measurement command are obtained; wherein the operation object of the channel measurement command is a measurement resource or a measurement report.


The preset rule is a rule predetermined for processing the channel measurement command


The operation object is the measurement resource or the measurement report, that is, the operation object may be the measurement report or the measurement resource.


The operation type includes a deactivation operation, an activation operation, or a pause operation.


Specifically, the deactivation operation of the measurement resource is to maintain the deactivation state of the base station, and the base station stops issuing the measurement resource to the mobile terminal; the activation operation of the measurement resource is to maintain the activation state of the base station, and the base station continuously issues the measurement resource to the bile terminal; the pause operation of the measurement resource is to maintain the deactivate/activate state of the base station, so that the base station presents a pause state, while the base station stops issuing the measurement resource to the mobile terminal; the deactivation operation of the measurement report is that the mobile terminal stops reporting the measurement report to the base station; the activation operation of the measurement report is that the mobile terminal continuously reports the measurement report to the base station; the pause operation of the measurement report is to maintain the deactivated/activated state of the mobile terminal, so that the mobile terminal presents the pause state, while the base station stops reporting the measurement report to the mobile terminal.


It should be noted that, one measurement resource may correspond to one measurement report, or, one measurement resource may also correspond to a plurality of the measurement reports, or, a plurality of measurement resources may correspond to one measurement report.


In step 103, a first operation corresponding to the operation type is executed on the measurement resource, and/or a second operation corresponding to the operation type is executed on the measurement report.


The first operation corresponding to the operation type is executed on the measurement resource, for example: when the deactivation command of the measurement resource is received, the corresponding first operation may include: recording or determining that the base station has performed the corresponding deactivation or activation operation on the measurement resource.


The first operation is an operation corresponding to the measurement resource and the operation type.


The second operation is an operation corresponding to the measurement report and the operation type.


Here, it should be noted that “and/or” refers to at least one of the objects to which they are connected.


In this embodiment, different operation objects (measurement reports and measurement resources) and operation types of the channel measurement commands are distinguished to perform different operations of the operation object, which solves the problem of waste of resources caused by binding the measurement report and the measurement resources in the existing method and then achieves the technical effort of saving resources by separately controlling measurement reports and measurement resources.


Further, on the basis of the above method embodiment, the step 103 specifically includes:


if the operation object is the measurement resource and the operation type is the deactivation operation or the activation operation, recording or determining that the base station has performed the corresponding deactivation or activation operation on the measurement resource, and/or, performing the corresponding deactivation or activation operation on the measurement report.


Specifically, when the mobile terminal receives the deactivation activation/deactivation command of the measurement resource sent by the base station, the mobile terminal may perform the following operations:


only recording or determining that the base station has performed the corresponding deactivation or activation operation on the measurement resource;


or,


only performing the corresponding deactivation or activation operation on the measurement report;


or,


recording or determining that the base station has performed the corresponding deactivation or activation operation on the measurement resource, and performing the corresponding deactivation or activation operation on the measurement report.


This embodiment is to solve the problem that the measurement report and the measurement resource may be inconsistent after the activation/deactivation operation of the measurement report is separately managed from the activation/deactivation operation of the measurement resource. For example, if the measurement resource is deactivated, but the measurement report is not deactivated, at this point, the mobile terminal cannot learn whether it is still required to report the measurement report to the base station.


Further, on the basis of the above method embodiment, the step 103 specifically includes:


if the operation object is the measurement resource and the operation type is the deactivation operation, setting the measurement report to the pause state, stopping sending the measurement report to the base station, and recording or determining status of the measurement report;


where the status of the measurement report includes an activation state or a deactivation state.


Specifically, when the mobile terminal receives the deactivation command of the measurement resource sent by the base station, the mobile terminal sets the measurement report to the pause state, stops sending the measurement report to the base station, and records and determines the status of the measurement report.


By setting the measurement report to the pause state, it is convenient to perform directly recovery, when the activation command of the measurement resource sent by the base station is subsequently received and the status of the measurement report is the activation state. This can reduce the operation and save resources.


Further, on the basis of the above method embodiment, the step 103 specifically includes:


if the operation type is the activation operation, the measurement report is in the pause state, and the status of the measurement report is the activation state, recovering the activation state of the measurement report, and continuing to send the measurement report to the base station.


Specifically, when the mobile terminal receives the activation command of the measurement resource sent by the base station, if the measurement report is in the pause state and the status of the measurement report is the activation state, the mobile terminal can directly recover the activation state of the measurement report and continues to send the measurement report to the base station, which reduces the operation and saves resources.


or,


when the mobile terminal receives the activation command of the measurement report sent by the base station, if the measurement report is in the pause state and the status of the measurement report is the activation state, the mobile terminal can directly recover the activation state of the measurement report, and continues to send the measurement report to the base station, which reduces the operation and saves resources.


Further, on the basis of the above method embodiment, the step 103 specifically includes:


if the operation type is the deactivation operation or the activation operation, notifying a physical layer to perform the corresponding deactivation or activation operation, so that the physical layer correspondingly stops or continues receiving the measurement resource.


In order to save resources in tune, when receiving the channel measurement command sent by the base station, the mobile terminal needs to notify the physical layer of the mobile terminal to perform the corresponding deactivation or activation operation, and the physical layer correspondingly stops or continues receiving the measurement resource.


Further, on the basis of the above method embodiment, the step 103 specifically includes:


if the operation object is the measurement report, and the operation type is the deactivation or activation operation, recording or determining that the base station has performed the corresponding deactivation or activation operation on the measurement resource, and/or, setting status of the measurement report to a corresponding deactivation or activation state, and performing the corresponding deactivation or activation operation on the measurement report.


Specifically, when the mobile terminal receives the deactivation activation/deactivation command of the measurement report sent by the base station, the mobile terminal may perform the following operations:


only recording or determining that the base station has performed the corresponding deactivation or activation operation on the measurement resource;


or,


only setting the status of the measurement report to the corresponding deactivation or activation state, and performing the corresponding deactivation or activation operation on the measurement report;


or,


recording or determining that the base station has performed the corresponding deactivation or activation operation on the measurement resource, setting the status of the measurement report to the corresponding deactivation or activation state, and performing the corresponding deactivation or activation operation on the measurement report


This embodiment is to solve the problem that the measurement report and the measurement resource may be inconsistent, after the activation/deactivation operation of the measurement report is separately managed from the activation/deactivation operation of the measurement resource.


Further, on the basis of the above method embodiment, the performing the corresponding deactivation or activation operation on the measurement report in the step S103 specifically includes:


after a preset quantity of sub-frames or a preset quantity of slots, performing the corresponding deactivation or activation operation on the measurement report.


Specifically, after the activation/deactivation operation of the measurement report is separately managed from the activation/deactivation operation of the measurement resource, the most ideal state is that the activation/deactivation operation of the measurement report and the activation/deactivation operation of the measurement resource are simultaneously received, and the mobile terminal can perform correspondingly. However, in the actual communication procedure, commands are always received in a sequence. In this case, by setting a preset quantity of sub-frames or a preset quantity of slots, it is possible to avoid repeated operations and waste resources when the mobile terminal receives channel measurement commands of different operation types for the same measurement object.


Further, on the basis of the above method embodiment, the step 103 specifically includes steps S1031 and S1032.


In step S1031, if the operation object is the measurement resource, the operation type is the deactivation operation, and the measurement report is in an activation state, replacing the measurement resource.


In step S1032, when a new channel measurement command is received, if it is determined that an operation target of the new channel measurement command is the measurement report, and an operation type of the new channel measurement command is the deactivation operation, stopping sending the measurement report to the base station.


Specifically, the measurement report includes a channel state information reference signal CSI-RS measurement report and a beam measurement report.


When reporting the CSI-RS measurement report, the measurement resource is a CSI-RS measurement resource or a demodulation reference signal DMRS measurement resource.


When reporting the beam measurement report, the measurement resource is the CSI-RS measurement resource or a synchronization information block (SS Block) measurement resource.


For example, after the deactivation command of the CSI-RS measurement resource is received and the CSI-RS measurement report is in an activation state, then the CSI-RS measurement report continues to be reported, and the CSI-RS measurement resource is replaced with the DMRS measurement resource, and reporting of the CSI-RS measurement report is stopped until the deactivation command of the CSI-RS measurement report is received.


In another embodiment, after the deactivation command of the CSI-RS measurement resource is received and the beam measurement report is in the activation state, then the beam measurement report continues to be reported, and the measurement resource is replaced with the SS Block, and reporting of the beam measurement report is stopped until the deactivation command of the beam measurement report is received.


By replacing the measurement resource, the operation of the mobile terminal is maintained, while resources can be saved.


Further, on the basis of the above method embodiment, the method further includes step S104.


In step S104, the channel measurement command is ignored according to the preset rule.


Specifically, when the mobile terminal receives the channel measurement command sent by the base station, if it is determined according to a predetermined rule that the mobile terminal can maintain the current state, the channel measurement command is ignored to save resources.


Further, on the basis of the above method embodiment, the step 104 specifically includes:


if status of the operation object corresponds to the operation type, the channel measurement command is ignored.


The status of the operation object includes an activation state or a deactivation state.


Specifically, the operation object is a measurement report or a measurement resource, therefore, the status of the measurement report includes an activation state or a deactivation state, and the status of the measurement resource also includes an activation state or a deactivation state.


For example, the status of the operation object corresponding to the operation type may include the following cases:


1) the measurement report is in an activation state, and an activation command of the measurement resource is received;


2) the measurement report is in a deactivation state, and a deactivation command of the measurement resource is received;


3) the measurement report is in an activation state, and an activation command of the measurement report is received;


4) the measurement report is in a deactivation state, and a deactivation command of the measurement report is received;


5) the measurement resource is in an activation state, and an activation command of the measurement resource is received;


6) the measurement resource is in a deactivation state, and a deactivation command of the measurement resource is received;


7) the measurement resource is in an activation state, and an activation command of the measurement report is received;


8) the measurement resource is in a deactivation state, and a deactivation command of the measurement report is received.


By determining correspondence between the status of the specific operation object and the operation type, the channel measurement command may be ignored, thereby saving resources.
