A subband non-overlapping full-duplex technology allows an uplink and a downlink to coexist. This can improve uplink coverage and reduce a delay for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback. The subband non-overlapping full-duplex technology is widely used in various application scenarios such as smart manufactory, smart mining, and smart steel.
A subband non-overlapping full-duplex technology may be applied to communication on a sidelink between two terminal devices. However, there may be a case in which the two terminal devices may simultaneously send feedback to each other. In other words, the terminal device simultaneously receives and sends the feedback. However, currently, there is no proper solution for the case in which the terminal device simultaneously receives and sends the feedback. This application provides a data transmission solution, to determine that the terminal device receives and sends feedback in different subbands. This ensures communication accuracy.
According to a first aspect of this application, a communication method is provided. The method includes: A first terminal device obtains first information, where the first information indicates a first time-frequency resource occupied by a first data channel and a second time-frequency resource occupied by a first feedback channel, the first data channel is located in a first frequency band, the first feedback channel is located in a second frequency band, the first feedback channel includes first acknowledgment information of the first data channel, the first frequency band and the second frequency band do not overlap in frequency domain, and the first terminal device is a subband non-overlapping full-duplex device; the first terminal device determines a first mapping relationship based on the first information and an identifier of the first terminal device, where the first mapping relationship includes a mapping relationship between a third time-frequency resource and a fourth time-frequency resource, the third time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource on which the first terminal device sends the first data channel, the third time-frequency resource is a part or all of the first time-frequency resource, the fourth time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource on which the first terminal device receives the first feedback channel, and the fourth time-frequency resource is a part or all of the second time-frequency resource; the first terminal device sends the first data channel to a second terminal device on the third time-frequency resource; and the first terminal device receives, on the fourth time-frequency resource based on the first mapping relationship, the first feedback channel from the second terminal device.
It should be noted that when the third time-frequency resource is a part of the first time-frequency resource, the fourth time-frequency resource may be a part or all of the second time-frequency resource. When the third time-frequency resource is all of the first time-frequency resource, the fourth time-frequency resource may be a part or all of the second time-frequency resource. Correspondingly, when the fourth time-frequency resource is a part of the second time-frequency resource, the third time-frequency resource may be a part or all of the first time-frequency resource. When the fourth time-frequency resource is all of the second time-frequency resource, the third time-frequency resource may be a part or all of the first time-frequency resource. A part or all of the correspondences in this application are similar to this, and are not described one by one in the following.
In this manner, the first terminal device may determine, by using the first information, the mapping relationship between the first time-frequency resource for sending the first data channel and the second time-frequency resource for receiving the first feedback channel, so that the first terminal device can be prevented from simultaneously receiving/sending a feedback channel (also referred to as feedback information) in a same frequency band. This can ensure communication reliability.
In some embodiments of the first aspect, the first information further indicates a fifth time-frequency resource occupied by a second data channel and a sixth time-frequency resource occupied by a second feedback channel, the second data channel is located in the second frequency band, the second feedback channel is located in the first frequency band, and the second feedback channel includes second acknowledgment information of the second data channel; and the first mapping relationship further includes a mapping relationship between a seventh time-frequency resource and an eighth time-frequency resource, the seventh time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource on which the first terminal device receives the second data channel, the seventh time-frequency resource is a part or all of the fifth time-frequency resource, the eighth time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource on which the first terminal device sends the second feedback channel, and the eighth time-frequency resource is a part or all of the sixth time-frequency resource.

In this manner, the first information is represented by using a bitmap, and the first mapping relationship can be more intuitively represented and determined, so that the first terminal device and the second terminal device can agree on a position of a time-frequency resource for a feedback channel, and the first terminal device can receive the feedback channel on an indicated resource unit. This improves communication efficiency.

The term “terminal device” in this application is any terminal device that can perform wired or wireless communication with a network device or a terminal device. The terminal device may be sometimes referred to as user equipment (UE). The terminal device may be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal. In an example, the terminal device may include a mobile phone, a station, a unit, a device, a mobile terminal (MT), a subscription station, a portable subscription station, an internet node, a communicator, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a personal communication system device, a personal navigation device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a positioning device, a radio broadcast receiver, an e-book device, a game device, an internet of things (IoT) device, a vehicle-mounted device, a flight vehicle, a virtual reality (VR) device, an augmented reality (AR) device, a wearable device, a terminal device in a 5G network, any terminal device in an evolved public land mobile network (PLMN), another device that can be used for communication, or any combination thereof. This is not limited in embodiments of this application.
The term “network device” in this application is an entity or a node that may be configured to communicate with a terminal device, for example, may be an access network device. The access network device may be an apparatus that is deployed in a radio access network and that provides a wireless communication function for the mobile terminal. For example, the access network device may be a radio access network (RAN) network device. The access network device may include various types of base stations. In an example, the access network device may include various forms of macro base stations, micro base stations, picocell base stations, femtocell base stations, relay stations, access points, remote radio units (RRUs), radio heads (RHs), and remote radio heads (RRHs). In systems using different radio access technologies, the access network device may have different names. For example, the access network device is referred to as an evolved NodeB (eNB or eNodeB) in a long term evolution (LTE) system network, is referred to as a NodeB (NB) in a 3G network, and may be referred to as a gNodeB (gNB) or an NR NodeB (NR NB) in the 5G network. In some scenarios, the access network device may include a central unit (CU) and/or a distributed unit (DU). The CU and DU may be deployed in different places. For example, the DU is remotely deployed in a high-traffic area, and the CU is deployed in a central equipment room. Alternatively, the CU and the DU may be deployed in a same equipment room. The CU and the DU may alternatively be different components in a same rack. For ease of description, in subsequent embodiments of this application, the foregoing apparatuses that provide a wireless communication function for the terminal device are collectively referred to as a network device. This is not specifically limited in embodiments of this application.
The term “sidelink (SL)” in this application is a communication link between terminal devices. In a wireless communication system, two different terminal devices may perform data communication with each other by using a network device, or may directly perform communication between terminal devices without using a network device. An interface between the two different terminal devices may be a direct communication (ProSe Communication 5, PC5) interface. An example scenario of sidelink communication is vehicle-to-everything (V2X). Data transmission is performed between two different terminal devices in vehicle-to-everything by using a sidelink without using a network device. In this way, a communication delay can be effectively reduced. Another example scenario of sidelink communication is direct communication between another terminal device and a wearable device, for example, a band or a watch. Still another example scenario of sidelink communication is an industrial internet of things application scenario, for example, includes direct communication between a programmable logic controller (PLC), a sensor, an executor, and the like. The sidelink supports broadcast communication, multicast communication, and unicast communication. The broadcast communication on the sidelink is similar to a behavior of broadcasting system information by a network device. A terminal device sends broadcast service data to the outside without encryption. In this case, other terminal devices that are interested in the broadcast service data and that are within an effective receiving scope may receive the broadcast service data. The multicast communication on the sidelink is communication between a plurality of terminal devices in a communication group, and each terminal device in the communication group can receive/send data of a corresponding multicast service. The unicast communication on the sidelink is similar to data communication performed after an RRC connection is established between a network device and a terminal device. The unicast communication on the sidelink requires that a unicast connection is first established between two terminal devices. After the unicast connection is established, the two terminal devices may perform data communication based on a negotiated identifier. The data may be encrypted, or may not be encrypted.
In an LTE system, a communication interface between a terminal device and a network may be referred to as a Uu interface. In the Uu interface, a subband non-overlapping full-duplex technology allows flexible configuration on time-frequency resources of an uplink and a downlink within a communication bandwidth. For example, the network device may configure more uplink transmission slots. This can improve uplink coverage of a network. In addition, the base station may configure that an uplink subband and a downlink subband coexist, to reduce a delay for HARQ feedback.
The subband non-overlapping full-duplex technology may alternatively be used for communication on a sidelink between two terminal devices. In this case, an uplink and a downlink in the subband non-overlapping full-duplex technology on the Uu interface respectively correspond to a transmit link and a receive link of a terminal device in sidelink communication. The terminal device to which the subband non-overlapping full-duplex technology is applied may flexibly configure time-frequency resources for the transmit link and the receive link. In other words, at the same time, there may be two different subbands that do not overlap in frequency domain, for example, a time-frequency resource for the transmit link of the subband non-overlapping full-duplex device and a time-frequency resource for the receive link of the subband non-overlapping full-duplex device. In the same subband, there may also be two time periods that do not overlap in time domain, for example, a time-frequency resource for the transmit link of the subband non-overlapping full-duplex device and a time-frequency resource for the receive link of the subband non-overlapping full-duplex device.
The sidelink may support the multicast communication and the unicast communication, and for multicast and unicast, a HARQ feedback mechanism has been introduced, where a channel for transmitting HARQ feedback may be referred to as a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH). A HARQ combines forward error correction (FEC) coding and an automatic repeat request, to improve the reliability of transport block (TB) transmission. If a receive-side terminal device detects an error in transmission by using an error detection code, and cannot correct all transmission errors through FEC, the terminal device requests HARQ retransmission.
After transmission, a transmit-side terminal device waits for HARQ feedback from the receive-side terminal device. The HARQ feedback is used to transmit acknowledgment information, and the acknowledgment information includes three cases: (i) if the reception succeeds, an ACK is fed back; (ii) if the reception fails, a NACK is fed back; or (iii) if control information associated with the transmission is not successfully received within predefined time, no response is made. In a case of the NACK or no response, the transmit-side terminal device may perform HARQ retransmission. For example, depending on a maximum quantity of retransmissions, a plurality of retransmissions may exist. It may be understood that the “feedback” in this embodiment of this application may include acknowledgment information, for example, may include an ACK or a NACK.
Specifically, in the unicast communication on the sidelink, after the receive-side terminal device successfully decodes first-phase sidelink control information (SCI) on a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), if a TB carried on a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) is successfully decoded, the receive-side terminal device feeds back an ACK; otherwise, the receive-side terminal device feeds back a NACK. In the multicast communication on the sidelink, two options are supported: an option 1 and an option 2. In the option 1, after the receive-side terminal device successfully decodes the first-phase SCI, if the receive-side terminal device fails to decode the TB carried on the PSSCH, the terminal device may feed back a NACK when a distance between the two is less than or equal to a required communication range (for example, indicated in second phase SCI); otherwise, the terminal device does not send an acknowledgment. In the option 2, after the receive-side terminal device successfully decodes the first-phase SCI on the PSCCH, if the receive-side terminal device successfully decodes the TB carried on the PSSCH, the terminal device feeds back an ACK; otherwise, the terminal device feeds back a NACK. In addition, regardless of the unicast communication or the multicast communication, if the receive-side terminal device fails to decode the first-phase SCI, the terminal device does not send an acknowledgment.
The ACK/NACK feedback may be transmitted on the PSFCH. An implementation capability of the terminal device is considered, and a feedback periodicity of the PSFCH, for example, N slots, has been defined. In this way, data transmission on the PSSCH in each slot in the feedback periodicity is fed back on a same PSFCH. If the terminal device receives data on the PSSCH and sends data on the PSSCH in a feedback periodicity, the terminal device needs to send feedback and receive feedback on a same PSFCH. In this way, a conflict occurs between sending and receiving.
In one manner, a priority of the PSSCH is defined, and the terminal device may perform corresponding PSFCH transmission based on the priority of the PSSCH. For example, in the first-phase SCI, it may be specified that a priority of sending data by the terminal device on the PSSCH is higher. In this case, on the PSFCH, the terminal device first waits for feedback for the sent data on the PSSCH, and then sends feedback for the data received by the terminal device. However, this manner may increase a transmission delay, or even cause an unnecessary retransmission. This affects service transmission reliability and reduces communication efficiency.
To resolve the foregoing problem and another potential problem, an embodiment of this application provides a data transmission solution. A terminal device can separately receive and send a feedback channel (which may also be referred to as feedback information) in different subbands at the same time. In this way, a full-duplex feature can be fully used, a service transmission delay can be avoided, and communication efficiency is improved.
It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the channel in this application is not a physical channel, but information. For example, a physical sidelink feedback channel is physical sidelink feedback information, a data channel is data information, and a feedback channel is feedback information. Details are not listed herein one by one. The foregoing expression manner is an official expression manner in a communication standard.
For ease of the following description, it may be assumed that the first terminal device 210 supports subband non-overlapping full-duplex, and it is assumed that the second terminal device 220 supports or does not support the subband non-overlapping full-duplex. In other words, the first terminal device 210 is a full-duplex device, and the second terminal device 220 is a full-duplex device or a half-duplex device.
It may be understood that the first terminal device 210 and the second terminal device 220 in this embodiment of this application may be implemented as various terminal devices, and may be used in various application scenarios. In an implementation, the first terminal device 210 may be implemented as a PLC device in the industrial internet of things field, and the second terminal device 220 may be implemented as a sensor device or an executor device having a full-duplex capability in the industrial internet of things field or the second terminal device 220 may be implemented as a sensor device or an executor device having no full-duplex capability in the industrial internet of things field.
The PLC device 310 may perform sidelink communication with the sensor device 320, and the PLC device 310 may perform sidelink communication with the executor device 330. It may be understood that the sensor device 320 may be a full-duplex device or a half-duplex device, and the executor device 330 may be a full-duplex device or a half-duplex device.
Various types of data transmission may be performed between the PLC device 310 and the sensor device 320, and between the PLC device 310 and the executor device 330. For example, the data transmission may be periodic traffic. For example, the sensor device 320 periodically measures data and sends the data to the PLC device. For example, the PLC device 310 periodically sends an execution instruction to the executor device 330. For example, the data transmission may be aperiodic traffic, such as traffic for an anomaly alert or a firmware upgrade.
In some examples, there may be a plurality of sensor devices 320 that perform sidelink communication with the PLC device 310. Some or all of the plurality of sensor devices 320 may be full-duplex devices, or some or all of the plurality of sensor devices 320 may be half-duplex devices.
It should be noted that although
With reference to
The following uses the first terminal device 210 as an example to describe, with reference to
The first terminal device 210 may have a preconfigured transmission bandwidth, for example, may include a first subband and a second subband, and frequency domain resources of the first subband and the second subband do not overlap. In some examples, the first subband is a high-frequency subband, and the second subband is a low-frequency subband. In some examples, the first subband is a low-frequency subband, and the second subband is a high-frequency subband.
For example, a first bandwidth of the first subband may be equal to a second bandwidth of the second subband. For example,
For example, the first bandwidth of the first subband may be not equal to the second bandwidth of the second subband. For example, it may be assumed that the first bandwidth is less than or greater than the second bandwidth. For example,
In this embodiment of this application, a resource of the PSSCH used to transmit sidelink data and the resource of the PSFCH used to transmit feedback for the sidelink data are from a same resource pool. For example, the resource of the PSFCH may be configured based on a feedback periodicity. It is assumed that the feedback periodicity is N time periods, there is one time period including a PSFCH in every N consecutive time periods, where a length of the time period in the feedback periodicity is greater than a time length of the PSFCH. For example, it is assumed that the N time periods are N slots, and a length of the PSFCH is x symbols. Optionally, the feedback periodicity may be configured as N=0, 1, 2, 4 slots, or the like. Optionally, the length of the PSFCH is one symbol or a plurality of symbols.
With reference to
For information transmission on the PSSCH, to ensure communication efficiency, it may be preconfigured that the feedback is transmitted on the first PSFCH after K slots in which the information is transmitted. K is a positive integer, and indicates a minimum quantity of slots between a PSSCH and a PSFCH for the PSSCH. For example, it is assumed that K=3. With reference to
In this embodiment of this application, duration, for example, a quantity of symbols, used for a PSFCH in each feedback periodicity may be preconfigured. For example, in a case of symmetric subbands shown in
The basic physical resource used to transmit information may be a physical resource block (PRB). In some examples, a quantity of PRBs used for PSFCHs in the first subband is equal to a quantity of PRBs used for PSFCHs in the second subband.
In this embodiment of this application, multiplexing between a plurality of terminal devices (or referred to as a plurality of users) may be supported on a same transmission resource unit (for example, a PRB), for example, may be implemented in a code division multiplexing manner. Optionally, different terminal devices may implement orthogonality between each other by using different orthogonal codes, to multiplex a same transmission resource. For example, the orthogonal codes may be implemented as cyclic shifts of a base sequence (for example, a ZAZAC sequence or a ZC sequence).
For ease of description, the following describes main embodiments of this application based on the structures of the subband 1 and the subband 2 shown in
The first terminal device 210 obtains indication information 610, where the indication information may indicate a time-frequency resource for a data channel and a time-frequency resource for a feedback channel. For example, the indication information may further indicate a correspondence between a time-frequency resource a and a time-frequency resource b. The time-frequency resource a may be a first time-frequency resource, the time-frequency resource b may be a second time-frequency resource, the first time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource occupied by a first data channel, and the second time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource occupied by a first feedback channel. Alternatively, the time-frequency resource a may be a ninth time-frequency resource, the time-frequency resource b may be a tenth time-frequency resource, the ninth time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource occupied by a first data channel, and the tenth time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource occupied by a first feedback channel.
For example, a data channel may be a PSSCH, and a feedback channel may be a PSFCH. Optionally, the indication information may be represented in a form of a bitmap, and a length of the bitmap may be determined based on a quantity of resource units of the feedback channel. The resource unit includes a time domain resource unit, a frequency domain resource unit, and a code domain resource unit. For example, the time domain resource unit includes a slot, a symbol, or the like, the frequency domain resource unit includes a PRB, a resource element (Resource Element, RE), or the like, and the code domain resource unit includes an orthogonal code (for example, a Walsh code), or the like. For the bitmap, refer to the following related descriptions with reference to first information, third information, and the like.
In some examples, the indication information may be preconfigured or prestored. For example, the indication information may be predetermined and sent to the first terminal device 210 and/or the second terminal device 220 by a network device. For example, the network device preconfigures the indication information by using layer 1 signaling, layer 3 signaling, or the like. In some examples, the indication information may be determined by the first terminal device 210 or the second terminal device 220 and notified to the other party. For example, the first terminal device 210 may obtain preconfigured indication information and send the indication information to the second terminal device 220. For example, the second terminal device 220 may obtain preconfigured indication information and send the indication information to the first terminal device 210. Correspondingly, the first terminal device 210 may receive the indication information from the second terminal device 220.
In some examples, the indication information may indicate inter-subband feedback. In some other examples, the indication information may indicate intra-subband feedback.
In some embodiments, the indication information may be the first information. The first information indicates a time-frequency resource occupied by a first data channel and a time-frequency resource occupied by a first feedback channel, the first data channel is located in a first frequency band, the first feedback channel is located in a second frequency band, the first feedback channel includes acknowledgment information of the first data channel, and the first frequency band and the second frequency band do not overlap in frequency domain. The first information may further indicate a time-frequency resource occupied by a second data channel and a time-frequency resource occupied by a second feedback channel. The second data channel is located in the second frequency band, the second feedback channel is located in the first frequency band, and the second feedback channel includes acknowledgment information of the second data channel. Optionally, the first information may also be understood as an inter-subband feedback indication.
In an example, the time-frequency resource occupied by the first data channel may be indicated as one or more data channel units of the first data channel, where the data channel unit is, for example, a subchannel. The time-frequency resource occupied by the first feedback channel may be indicated as one or more resource units of the first feedback channel, where the resource unit includes, for example, the time domain resource unit, the frequency domain resource unit, and the code domain resource unit. The first information may indicate M1 data channel units of the first data channel and N1 resource units of the first feedback channel. Similarly, the first information may further indicate M2 data channel units of the second data channel and N2 resource units of the second feedback channel. It may be understood that M1, M2, N1, and N2 are positive integers (that is, integers greater than 0). For example, M1 depends on a bandwidth of the first data channel and a division manner of the data channel unit, and M2 depends on a bandwidth of the second data channel and a division manner of the data channel unit. The division manner of the data channel unit is predefined or preconfigured. For example, the bandwidth of the data channel unit (for example, the subchannel) is fixed. N1 depends on a quantity of resource units included in the first feedback channel, and N2 depends on a quantity of resource units included in the second feedback channel.
For example, the first information may indicate the following content: The first terminal device 210 expects to send the first data channel in the first frequency band and receive the first feedback channel in the second frequency band; the first terminal device 210 does not expect to receive the first data channel in the first frequency band; and the second terminal device 220 expects to receive the second data channel in the second frequency band and send the second feedback channel in the first frequency band.
Optionally, as shown in
Optionally, the second information may further indicate a transmit frequency band of the first terminal device 210 and/or a receive frequency band of the first terminal device 210.
In an implementation, for example, the second information may further indicate that the first frequency band is a transmit frequency band of the first terminal device 210, and a second frequency band is the receive frequency band of the first terminal device 210. If the second terminal device 220 is a full-duplex device, optionally, the fourth information may further indicate that the first frequency band is a receive frequency band of the second terminal device 220, and the second frequency band is a transmit frequency band of the second terminal device 220. It may be understood that the transmit frequency band and the receive frequency band may be determined by the first terminal device 210 and the second terminal device 220 through negotiation. For example, the first terminal device 210 and the second terminal device 220 may negotiate to determine the transmit frequency band and the receive frequency band through one or more rounds of information exchange. It is assumed that a result determined through negotiation is that the second frequency band is the receive frequency band of the first terminal device 210 and the transmit frequency band of the second terminal device 220, and the first frequency band is the transmit frequency band of the first terminal device 210 and the receive frequency band of the second terminal device 220.
In another implementation, for example, the second information may further indicate that the second frequency band is a transmit frequency band of the first terminal device 210, and the first frequency band is a receive frequency band of the first terminal device 210. In an implementation, the second information may indicate that the first terminal device 210 is to receive the feedback channel in a first time period by using the first frequency band. If the second terminal device 220 is a full-duplex device, optionally, the fourth information may further indicate that the second frequency band is a receive frequency band of the second terminal device 220, and the first frequency band is a transmit frequency band of the second terminal device 220. It may be understood that the transmit frequency band and the receive frequency band may be determined by the first terminal device 210 and the second terminal device 220 through negotiation. For example, the first terminal device 210 and the second terminal device 220 may negotiate to determine the transmit frequency band and the receive frequency band through one or more rounds of information exchange. It is assumed that a result determined through negotiation is that the first frequency band is the receive frequency band of the first terminal device 210 and the transmit frequency band of the second terminal device 220, and the second frequency band is the transmit frequency band of the first terminal device 210 and the receive frequency band of the second terminal device 220.
The negotiation process may include a plurality of optional solutions. The negotiation process is applicable to any negotiation process in this application, and is not limited herein.
For example,
(1) When the second information and the fourth information are sent in a same frequency band at different time,
(2) When the second information and the fourth information are sent in different frequency bands at the same time,
(3) When the second information and the fourth information are sent in different frequency bands at different time,
In another example, for example:
(1) When the second information and the fourth information are sent in a same frequency band at different time,
(2) When the second information and the fourth information are sent in different frequency bands at the same time,
(3) When the second information and the fourth information are sent in different frequency bands at different time,
It should be understood that, in different scenarios, the transmit frequency band and the receive frequency band indicated by the second information may be different. For example, in some scenarios, the first frequency band is a transmit frequency band of the first terminal device 210, and in some other scenarios, the second frequency band is a transmit frequency band of the first terminal device 210. This is not limited in this application. It should be noted that in the following embodiments, for different scenarios, in different descriptions, which frequency band is a transmit frequency band is not specifically specified, and is not specially emphasized in the following.
The second information may be included in a control channel or a data channel, for example, a PSCCH or a PSSCH. This is not limited in this application.
It may be understood that the indication of the second information for the first time period may be implicit. For example, the first time period may be determined based on a second time period for sending the second information, a feedback periodicity (that is, N), a minimum quantity of slots (K) for feedback, and the like.
In addition or optionally, the second information may further indicate valid duration, so that the first terminal device 210 receives information in the first frequency band and sends information in the second frequency band within valid duration starting from a moment at which the second information is sent. This can improve flexibility.
It may be understood that if the second terminal device 220 is a half-duplex device, the second terminal device 220 may restrict, based on the second information, the transmit frequency band of the second terminal device 220 to the first frequency band. In this way, the first terminal device 210 can be prevented from receiving information from the second terminal device 220 in the second frequency band.
For brevity of illustration, with reference to
In this embodiment of this application, the time-frequency resource occupied by the first feedback channel may be represented by using an index of one or more resource units (which may also be referred to as a feedback channel unit) of the first feedback channel. For example, it is assumed that the resource unit is a PRB, at least one resource unit may be indicated by using an index of the PRB. For example, it is assumed that the first frequency band includes eight PRBs in the first time period, 000 and 001 may indicate that the at least one resource unit is two PRBs at a lowest frequency in the first frequency band, and 110 and 111 may indicate that the at least one resource unit is two PRBs at a highest frequency in the first frequency band.
Optionally, a part or all of the first information may be configured in a form of a bitmap (bitmap), where a length of the bitmap is determined based on at least a quantity of resource units included in the PSFCH. For example, the length of the bitmap may be equal to a total quantity of resource units in the first frequency band in the first time period. The resource unit may include the time domain resource unit, for example, a quantity of valid symbols of the PSFCH. The resource unit may include the frequency domain resource unit, for example, a quantity of PRBs included in a single symbol. The resource unit may include the code domain resource unit, for example, a quantity of cyclic shift pairs.
For example, for the subband 1, a bitmap 1 may be configured, and a length of the bitmap 1 is determined based on the following factors: a quantity mPSFCH,2 of valid symbols of a PSFCH in a single slot in which the subband 2 includes the PSFCH, a quantity mPRB,2 of PRBs included in the subband 2, and a quantity mcs of cyclic shift pairs. For example, the length of the bitmap 1 may be equal to mPSFCH,2×mPRB,2×mcs, where each bit corresponds to one PRB on one PSFCH symbol in the subband 2 and a corresponding cyclic shift sequence number. In an example, with reference to
For example, for the subband 2, a bitmap 2 may be configured, and a length of the bitmap 2 is determined based on the following factors: a quantity mPSFCH,1 of valid symbols of a PSFCH in a single slot in which the subband 1 includes the PSFCH, a quantity mPRB,1 of PRBs included in the subband 1, and a quantity mcs of cyclic shift pairs. For example, the length of the bitmap 2 may be equal to mPSFCH,1×mPRB,1×mcs, where each bit corresponds to one PRB on one PSFCH symbol in the subband 1 and a corresponding cyclic shift sequence number. In an example, with reference to
For example, for the subband 1 and the subband 2, a bitmap may be configured, and a length of the bitmap is determined based on the following factors: the quantity mPSFCH,1 of valid symbols of the PSFCH in the single slot in which the subband 1 includes the PSFCH, the quantity mPRB,1 of PRBs included in the subband 1, and the quantity of cyclic shift pairs mcs; and the quantity mPSFCH,2 of valid symbols of the PSFCH in the single slot in which the subband 2 includes the PSFCH, the quantity mPRB,2 of PRBs included in the subband 2, and the quantity mcs of cyclic shift pairs. For example, the length of the bitmap may be equal to mPSFCH,1×mPRB,1×mcs+mPSFCH,2×mPRB,2×mcs, where each bit corresponds to one PRB on one PSFCH symbol in the subband 1 and subband 2 and a corresponding cyclic shift sequence number. In an example, it is assumed that a quantity of PRBs included in the PSFCH in the subband 1 is 8, and a quantity of PRBs included in the PSFCH in the subband 2 is 8. In this case, optionally, a length of the bitmap may be 16 bits. For example, 1 bit to 8 bits correspond to 8 PRBs in the subband 2, and 9 bits to 16 bits correspond to 8 PRBs in the subband 1.
It should be understood that
In some other embodiments, the indication information may be the third information, the third information indicates a time-frequency resource occupied by a first data channel and a time-frequency resource occupied by a second feedback channel, the first data channel and the second feedback channel are located in a first frequency band, and the second feedback channel includes acknowledgment information of the first data channel. The first information may further indicate a time-frequency resource occupied by a second data channel and a time-frequency resource occupied by a first feedback channel, the second data channel and the first feedback channel are located in a second frequency band, and the first feedback channel includes acknowledgment information of the second data channel. Optionally, the third information may also be understood as an indication of the intra-subband feedback.
In an example, the time-frequency resource occupied by the first data channel may be indicated as one or more data channel units of the first data channel, where the data channel unit is, for example, a subchannel. The time-frequency resource occupied by the second feedback channel may be indicated as one or more resource units of the second feedback channel, where the resource unit includes, for example, the time domain resource unit, the frequency domain resource unit, and the code domain resource unit. The third information may indicate M1 data channel units of the first data channel and N2 resource units of the second feedback channel. Similarly, the third information may further indicate M2 data channel units of the second data channel and N1 resource units of the first feedback channel.
Similar to the foregoing description with reference to the first information, the resource unit of the first/second feedback channel in the third information may be represented by using an index. Optionally, a part or all of the third information may be configured in a form of a bitmap, where a length of the bitmap is determined based on at least a quantity of resource units included in the PSFCH. The resource unit may include the time domain resource unit, for example, a quantity of valid symbols of the PSFCH. The resource unit may include the frequency domain resource unit, for example, a quantity of PRBs included in a single symbol. The resource unit may include the code domain resource unit, for example, a quantity of cyclic shift pairs.
In some other embodiments, the indication information may include the first information and the third information. The first information and the third information may be described above. In other words, the indication information may include an indication of the intra-subband feedback and an indication of the inter-subband feedback. In addition, a part or all of the indication information may also be configured in a form of a bitmap.
For example, for a subband 1, a bitmap 1-1 and a bitmap 1-2 may be configured, where the bitmap 1-1 is an intra-subband bitmap, and the bitmap 1-2 is an inter-subband bitmap. A length of the bitmap 1-1 is determined based on the following factors: a quantity mPSFCH,1 of valid symbols of a PSFCH in a single slot in which the subband 1 includes the PSFCH, a quantity mPRB,1 of PRBs included in the subband 1, and a quantity mcs of cyclic shift pairs. For example, the length of the bitmap 1-1 may be equal to mPSFCH,1×mPRB,1×mcs. A length of the bitmap 1-2 is determined based on the following factors: a quantity mPSFCH,2 of valid symbols of a PSFCH in a single slot in which a subband 2 includes the PSFCH, a quantity mPRB,2 of PRBs included in the subband 2, and a quantity mcs of cyclic shift pairs. For example, the length of the bitmap 1-2 may be equal to mPSFCH,2×mPRB,2×mcs.
In an example, with reference to
For example, for the subband 2, a bitmap 2-1 and a bitmap 2-2 may be configured, where the bitmap 2-1 is an intra-subband bitmap, and the bitmap 2-2 is an inter-subband bitmap. A length of the bitmap 2-1 is determined based on the following factors: a quantity mPSFCH,2 of valid symbols of a PSFCH in a single slot in which the subband 2 includes the PSFCH, a quantity mPRB,2 of PRBs included in the subband 2, and a quantity mcs of cyclic shift pairs. For example, the length of the bitmap 2-1 may be equal to mPSFCH,2×mPRB,2×mcs. A length of the bitmap 2-2 is determined based on the following factors: a quantity mPSFCH,1 of valid symbols of a PSFCH in a single slot in which the subband 1 includes the PSFCH, a quantity mPRB,1 of PRBs included in the subband 1, and a quantity mcs of cyclic shift pairs. For example, the length of the bitmap 2-2 may be equal to mPSFCH,1×mPRB,1×mcs.
In an example, with reference to
For example, for the subband 1 and the subband 2, a bitmap a and a bitmap b may be configured together, where the bitmap a is an intra-subband bitmap, and the bitmap b is an inter-subband bitmap. In addition, a length of the bitmap a and the bitmap b is determined based on the following factors: the quantity mPSFCH,1 of valid symbols of the PSFCH in the single slot in which the subband 1 includes the PSFCH, the quantity mPRB,1 of PRBs included in the subband 1, and the quantity of cyclic shift pairs mcs; and the quantity mPSFCH,2 of valid symbols of the PSFCH in the single slot in which the subband 2 includes the PSFCH, the quantity mPRB,2 of PRBs included in the subband 2, and the quantity mcs of cyclic shift pairs. For example, the length of the bitmap a and the bitmap b may be equal to mPSFCH,1×mPRB,1×mcs+mPSFCH,2×mPRB,2×mcs. In an example, it is assumed that a quantity of PRBs included in the PSFCH in the subband 1 is 8, and a quantity of PRBs included in the PSFCH in the subband 2 is 8. In this case, optionally, a length of the bitmap a and the bitmap b may be 16 bits. For example, 1 bit to 8 bits correspond to the 8 PRBs in the subband 2, and 9 bits to 16 bits correspond to the 8 PRBs in the subband 1.
Optionally, the indication information may indicate, by using an identifier of a bitmap, a frequency band in which the first terminal device receives the feedback channel. For example, the indication information indicates, by using an identifier of a bitmap 1-1 or a bitmap 2-2, that a frequency band in which an acknowledgment channel is received is the subband 1. Optionally, the indication information may indicate, based on a relationship between a frequency band for sending information and a frequency band for receiving an acknowledgment channel, a frequency band in which the first terminal device receives the feedback channel. For example, the indication information may indicate that the transmit frequency band of the first terminal device 210 is a subband 2. In this case, an indication such as “inter-subband receiving” may be used to indirectly or implicitly indicate that the frequency band for receiving the acknowledgment channel is the subband 1. For example, in the indication information, 1 bit in a specific field may indicate intra-subband receiving or inter-subband receiving. For example, “1” indicates intra-subband receiving, and “0” indicates inter-subband receiving.
The first terminal device 210 determines, based on the indication information, a mapping relationship between the time-frequency resource of data and a corresponding fed-back time-frequency resource.
For example, the first terminal device 210 may determine a first mapping relationship based on the first information. The first mapping relationship may include a first time-frequency resource on which the first terminal device 210 sends the first data channel and a second time-frequency resource on which the first terminal device 210 receives the first feedback channel. For example, the first mapping relationship may indicate a mapping relationship between the first time-frequency resource and the second time-frequency resource. It may be understood that, compared with the time-frequency resource occupied by the first data channel and the time-frequency resource occupied by the first feedback channel that are indicated by the first information, the first time-frequency resource is a part or all of the time-frequency resource occupied by the first data channel. Similarly, the second time-frequency resource is a part or all of the time-frequency resource occupied by the first feedback channel.
Optionally, the first mapping relationship may include a third time-frequency resource on which the first terminal device 210 receives the second data channel and a fourth time-frequency resource on which the first terminal device 210 sends the second feedback channel. For example, the first mapping relationship may further indicate a mapping relationship between the third time-frequency resource and the fourth time-frequency resource. It may be understood that, compared with the time-frequency resource occupied by the second data channel and the time-frequency resource occupied by the second feedback channel that are indicated by the first information, the third time-frequency resource is a part or all of the time-frequency resource occupied by the second data channel. Similarly, the fourth time-frequency resource is a part or all of the time-frequency resource occupied by the second feedback channel.
Specifically, the first terminal device 210 may determine, based on the first information, a sequence number of a symbol in which a PSFCH corresponding to information such as a time-frequency resource of the PSSCH is located, a sequence number of a PRB, and a sequence number of a cyclic shift.
The first terminal device 210 may determine the first mapping relationship based on the first information and the identifier of the first terminal device 210. For example, it is assumed that the first terminal device 210 sends the first data channel in the subband 1 in the slot n. It is assumed that the first information indicates a time-frequency resource of the first feedback channel corresponding to the first data channel in the slot n, as shown in 810, that is, indicates two PRBs numbered 1 and 2 on the PSFCH. The first terminal device 210 may determine a result obtained by performing modulo calculation on an identifier of the first terminal device 210 and a predetermined value (for example, 2), for example, 0 or 1, and may determine a second time-frequency resource of the first feedback channel based on the result. For example, if a result is 0, a PRB numbered 1 is determined as the second time-frequency resource. For example, if a result is 1, a PRB numbered 2 is determined as the second time-frequency resource. For example, it is assumed that the first terminal device 210 sends the first data channel on a first subchannel (for example, a low-frequency subchannel in the subband 1) in the subband 1 in a slot n. It is assumed that the first information indicates time-frequency resources of the first feedback channel corresponding to the two subchannels on the first data channel in the slot n, as shown in 810, that is, indicates two PRBs numbered 1 and 2 on the PSFCH. The first terminal device 210 may determine the second time-frequency resource of the first feedback channel based on the first subchannel to be used by the first terminal device 210. For example, if the first subchannel is a low-frequency subchannel of a subband 1, the PRB numbered 1 is determined as the second time-frequency resource. For example, if the first subchannel is a high-frequency subchannel of a subband 1, the PRB numbered 2 is determined as the second time-frequency resource.
It may be understood that, for another case, the sent time-frequency resource and the received time-frequency resource in the first mapping relationship may be similarly determined, and are not listed one by one herein.
For example, the first terminal device 210 may determine a second mapping relationship based on the third information. The second mapping relationship may include a fifth time-frequency resource on which the first terminal device 210 sends the first data channel and a sixth time-frequency resource on which the first terminal device 210 receives the second feedback channel. For example, the second mapping relationship may indicate a mapping relationship between the fifth time-frequency resource and the sixth time-frequency resource. It may be understood that, compared with the time-frequency resource occupied by the first data channel and the time-frequency resource occupied by the second feedback channel that are indicated by the third information, the fifth time-frequency resource is a part or all of the time-frequency resource occupied by the first data channel. Similarly, the sixth time-frequency resource is a part or all of the time-frequency resource occupied by the second feedback channel.
Optionally, the second mapping relationship may include a seventh time-frequency resource on which the first terminal device 210 receives the second data channel and an eighth time-frequency resource on which the first terminal device 210 sends the first feedback channel. For example, the second mapping relationship may indicate a mapping relationship between the seventh time-frequency resource and the eighth time-frequency resource. It may be understood that, compared with the time-frequency resource occupied by the second data channel and the time-frequency resource occupied by the first feedback channel that are indicated by the third information, the seventh time-frequency resource is a part or all of the time-frequency resource occupied by the second data channel. Similarly, the eighth time-frequency resource is a part or all of the time-frequency resource occupied by the first feedback channel.
It may be understood that a manner in which the first terminal device 210 determines the second mapping relationship is similar to the foregoing manner in which the first mapping relationship is determined, and a difference mainly lies in an intra-subband resource mapping indicated in the second mapping relationship. For brevity, details are not described herein again.
The first terminal device 210 performs communication 630 with the second terminal device 220 based on the first mapping relationship and/or the second mapping relationship.
Based on the first mapping relationship
In some embodiments, the first terminal device 210 sends, on the first time-frequency resource in the first frequency band, the first data channel to the second terminal device 220. In addition, the first terminal device 210 may receive, on the second time-frequency resource in the second frequency band, the first feedback channel from the second terminal device 220 based on the first mapping relationship.
Optionally, the first terminal device 210 may further receive, in the second frequency band, the second data channel from the second terminal device 220, and may send the second feedback channel to the second terminal device 220 in the first frequency band based on the first mapping relationship.
It may be understood that sending a data channel in this embodiment of this application indicates that data is sent through the data channel. In other words, the sent data is included on the data channel, for example, a PSSCH. Receiving an acknowledgment channel in this embodiment of this application indicates that acknowledgment information is received through a feedback channel. In other words, the received acknowledgment information is included on the feedback channel, for example, a PSFCH. Similarly, receiving a data channel in this embodiment of this application indicates that data is received through the data channel. In other words, the received data is included on the data channel, for example, a PSSCH. Sending an acknowledgment channel in this embodiment of this application indicates that acknowledgment information is sent through a feedback channel. In other words, the sent acknowledgment information is included on the feedback channel, for example, a PSFCH.
If the second terminal device 220 is a full-duplex device, the first terminal device 210 may send the first data channel and receive the second data channel in a same time unit (for example, a slot). In this way, a capability of the full-duplex device can be fully utilized. Correspondingly, the first terminal device 210 may simultaneously receive the first feedback channel and send the second feedback channel. For example, time periods of the first feedback channel and the second feedback channel may completely overlap, for example, in the case of symmetric subbands shown in
If the second terminal device 220 is a full-duplex device, the first data channel and the second data channel may be in different time units (for example, at least one slot or at least one symbol). For example, the time unit may include one slot or a plurality of symbols. In this case, the time periods of the first feedback channel and the second feedback channel may completely overlap, partially overlap, or completely do not overlap. This is not limited in this application.
If the second terminal device 220 is a half-duplex device, the first data channel and the second data channel may be in different time units (for example, a slot). In this way, correct communication of the second terminal device 220 can be ensured.
For ease of description, it may be assumed that a time unit in which the first terminal device 210 sends the first data channel is one slot, and a time length of the first feedback channel received by the first terminal device 210 is one symbol, two symbols, or the like.
In some examples, it is assumed that the first frequency band is a subband 2, and the second frequency band is a subband 1.
In this case, it is assumed that the first terminal device 210 sends first data to the second terminal device 220 in the subband 2 in the slot n+1, and the first data is included in a PSSCH. As shown in
Optionally, it is assumed that the second terminal device 220 is a full-duplex device. As shown in
Optionally, it is assumed that the second terminal device 220 is a half-duplex device. As shown in
Based on the second mapping relationship
In some embodiments, the first terminal device 210 sends, on the fifth time-frequency resource in the first frequency band, the first data channel to the second terminal device 220. In addition, the first terminal device 210 may receive, on the six time-frequency resource in the first frequency band, the second feedback channel from the second terminal device 220 based on the second mapping relationship.
Optionally, the first terminal device 210 may further receive, in the second frequency band, the second data channel from the second terminal device 220, and may send the first feedback channel to the second terminal device 220 in the second frequency band based on the second mapping relationship.
If the second terminal device 220 is a full-duplex device, the first terminal device 210 may send the first data channel and receive the second data channel in a same time unit (for example, a slot).
In some examples, it is assumed that the first frequency band is a subband 2, and the second frequency band is a subband 1.
In this case, it is assumed that the first terminal device 210 sends first data to the second terminal device 220 in the subband 2 in the slot n+1, and the first data is included in the PSSCH. As shown in
Optionally, it is assumed that the second terminal device 220 is a full-duplex device. As shown in
Optionally, it is assumed that the second terminal device 220 is a half-duplex device. As shown in
Based on the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship
In some embodiments, the first terminal device 210 expects that a transmit frequency band of the first terminal device 210 is a first frequency band (for example, the subband 2), and expects that a receive frequency band of the first terminal device 210 is a second frequency band (for example, the subband 1). However, in some cases, the second terminal device 220 may fail to meet an expectation of the first terminal device 210 due to a reason of the second terminal device 220.
For example, the first terminal device 210 sends, on the first time-frequency resource in the first frequency band, the first data channel to the second terminal device 220. In addition, the first terminal device 210 may receive, on the second time-frequency resource in the second frequency band, the first feedback channel from the second terminal device 220 based on the first mapping relationship.
Optionally, if the first terminal device 210 receives, in the second frequency band, the second data channel from the second terminal device 220, the first terminal device 210 may send the second feedback channel to the second terminal device 220 in the first frequency band based on the first mapping relationship. If the first terminal device 210 receives, in the first frequency band, the second data channel from the second terminal device 220, the first terminal device 210 may send the first feedback channel to the second terminal device 220 in the first frequency band based on the second mapping relationship.
It is assumed that the first frequency band is a subband 2, and the second frequency band is a subband 1.
Optionally, it is assumed that the second terminal device 220 is a full-duplex device. As shown in
Optionally, it is assumed that the second terminal device 220 is a half-duplex device. As shown in
In this way, both the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship are considered, and the first terminal device 210 can receive the acknowledgment information in the subband 1 and send the acknowledgment information in the subband 2. In this way, a conflict caused by receiving and sending acknowledgment information in a same subband is avoided.
It should be understood that the foregoing examples with reference to
It should be noted that, although a subchannel (subchannel) is not shown in
In some embodiments of this application, there may be a guard interval between the PSSCH and the PSFCH.
In some other embodiments of this application, there may be no guard interval between the PSSCH and the PSFCH. For example, both the PSSCH and the PSFCH that are in a same slot are used for receiving. For example, third data is received on the PSSCH, and first acknowledgment information is received on the PSFCH. For example, both the PSSCH and the PSFCH that are in a same slot are used for sending. For example, fourth data is sent on the PSSCH, and second acknowledgment information is sent on the PSFCH.
In this manner, in this embodiment of this application, the first terminal device may determine a mapping relationship between the PSSCH and the PSFCH based on indication information, so that the first terminal device can separately receive and send acknowledgment information in different subbands. In this way, the first terminal device can be prevented from simultaneously receiving/sending a feedback channel in a same subband. This can avoid a delay and the like caused by a priority, and improve communication efficiency.
It should be understood that, in embodiments of this application, “first”, “second”, and “third” and the like are only intended to indicate that a plurality of objects may be different, but two objects may be the same. “First”, “second”, and “third” should not be construed as any limitation on embodiments of this application.
