Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

This application pertains to the field of communications technologies, and specifically relates to a method and apparatus for processing configured grant configuration, a device, and a storage medium.


BACKGROUND

Rel-15 and Rel-16 support configured grant (CG) transmission to meet the ultra-reliable and low latency requirements of ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLLC) services. When a data packet for UE arrives, the UE selects a CG configuration for initial transmission of data.


When a network detects an error in the data transmitted on the CG, retransmission of the data is dynamically scheduled using downlink control information (DCI). The dynamic scheduling in this case differs from direct dynamic scheduling on a network side. Power control parameters of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) scheduled for the retransmission, such as target power P0, path loss compensation factor α and path loss reference signal (PL-RS) index, continue to use one CG configuration.


In a multi transmitting receiving point (MTRP) scenario, multiple sets of parameters can be used for the CG PUSCH. However, indication of multiple sets of parameters cannot be implemented in the prior art. In a case that a CG link is blocked/shielded, and data fails to be transmitted successfully on the CG, a network side can transmit such data to another transmitting receiving point (TRP) by dynamic scheduling, that is, by using DCI. In this case, the transmission beams, channels, and target power P0 of a target TRP all change significantly. If the existing technical solution is still used, the PUSCH retransmission scheduled by DCI still uses power control parameters in the CG configuration, which results in an excessively high or low transmit power of the UE for data retransmission. An excessively high transmit power causes interferences to other users, while an excessively low transmit power reduces reception performance of the retransmitted data, even causing retransmission failure in serious cases. Persistent scheduling for data retransmission by the network causes large loads, and multiple retransmissions bring large latency.

3. Specifically, indication methods of the power control parameters of the CG are as follows.


3.1. Power control parameter indication method for retransmission of CG scheduled by DCI


Initial transmission data of UE is transmitted on one or more CGs. In a case of initial transmission error, a network side schedules retransmission of the data using a PDCCH (a DCI format carrying NDI=1) scrambled by CS-RNTI, and transmit power for the retransmission is determined as follows.


3.1.1. A power control parameter corresponding to a PUSCH retransmission of CG scheduled by DCI is determined based on one or more sets of power control parameters in the CG configuration.


Optionally, the power control parameter includes one or more of the following:

    • P0/α;
    • path loss reference signal index; and
    • closed-loop power control state index.


Optionally, the network side configures parameters for the UE as follows:

    • the network side configures one or more SRS resource sets for codebook or non-codebook transmission for the UE; and
    • the network side configures one or more mappings PUSCH-MappingToAddModList from a value of the SRI field in the DCI to a power control parameter group SRI-PUSCH-PowerControl for the UE.


The PUSCH-MappingToAddModList corresponds to multiple SRS resource sets.


The type-1 CG configuration includes the following parameters:

    • at least one SRI;
    • at least one TPMI;
    • at least one MCS;
    • at least one P0/α;
    • at least one powerControlLoopToUse;
    • at least one closed-loop power control adjustment state index (powerControlLoopToUse); and
    • at least one path loss reference signal index.


The parameters correspond to an SRS resource set.


Type-2 CG configuration: CG configuration including no rrc-ConfiguredUplinkGrant is as follows:


The parameters configured by the network side include the following parameters:

    • at least one P0/α; and
    • at least one powerControlLoopToUse.


The DCI for activating the type-2 CG indicates the following parameters for the CG:

    • at least one SRI;
    • at least one TPMI;
    • at least one PL-RS.


The parameters correspond to an SRS resource set.


Optionally, the CG is configured with at least one power offset value. The power offset value may be a positive number or a negative number and used for power compensation of the retransmission of CG.


The power offset value is associated with an SRS resource set.


Optionally, parameters in the CG configuration are used as the power control parameters of the PUSCH retransmission of CG scheduled by DCI.


Which set or sets of power control parameters in the CG configuration are to be used is determined based on a value of the SRI field in the DCI and/or the SRI in the CG configuration.


One or more P0/α, powerControlLoopToUse, pathlossReferenceIndex parameters associated with one or some SRS resource sets in the CG configuration are used. The SRS resource set is the same as an SRS resource set to which an SRS resource indicated by an SRI field in the DCI for dynamically scheduling the PUSCH retransmission belongs.


Optionally, in a case that SRS resources indicated by an SRI field in the DCI belong to different SRS resource sets and that the CG includes only one set of power control parameters, one of the multiple sets of power control parameters of the PUSCH retransmission comes from the CG configuration, and the remaining sets of power control parameters are other power control parameters indicated by the SRI field in the DCI.


Optionally, power for the PUSCH retransmission of CG scheduled by DCI is obtained by adding a power offset value to a power calculated based on the parameters in the CG configuration.


If the SRS resources indicated by the SRI field in the DCI all belong to a same SRS resource set, a power control parameter corresponding to the PUSCH retransmission is determined based on one set of power control parameters in the CG configuration. The actual transmit power of the UE is obtained by adding a power offset value configured in the CG to a transmit power calculated based on a power control parameter in the CG configuration.


If the SRS resources indicated by the SRI field in the DCI belong to multiple SRS resource sets, there are multiple transmit powers corresponding to the PUSCH, which can be obtained by adding different power offset values to the transmit power calculated based on the CG configuration.


The power offset value is determined based on a value of the SRI field in the DCI.


The SRS resource set associated with the power offset value is the same as the SRS resource set to which an SRS resource indicated by the SRI field in the DCI belongs.


Optionally, in a case that initial transmission of data is performed using multiple CGs, power control parameters of one or more CGs are used for power control for the PUSCH retransmission of CG scheduled by DCI.


The DCI for scheduling retransmission indicates which CG configuration or configurations are used as the power control parameters for retransmission.


Power control parameters in the CG configuration including one or some specific SRIs are selected.


(a) An SRS resource set to which an SRS resource indicated by this SRI belongs is the same as an SRS resource set to which the SRS resource indicated by the SRI field in the DCI belongs.


One or more mappings from the SRI field in the DCI to the CG configuration are maintained by the network side. The value of the SRI field in the DCI for dynamic scheduling can be mapped to one or more CGs. The power control parameters of the PUSCH retransmission are the power control parameters in the CG configuration mapped by the SRI.


The CG configuration includes an SRS resource set index, and configuration of power control parameters of one or some specific CGs is used. The SRS resource set index associated with the CG is the same as an index of a resource set to which an SRS resource indicated by the SRI in the DCI for dynamic scheduling belongs.


The CORESETPoolIndex included in the CG configuration is the same as a CORESETPoolIndex associated with a CORESET to which the DCI for scheduling belongs.


3.1.2. The power control parameters of the PUSCH retransmission of CG are indicated by the SRI field in the DCI for scheduling the PUSCH retransmission.


Optionally, one or more power offset values configured for the UE by the network side may be positive numbers or negative numbers.


Optionally, the transmit power for the PUSCH retransmission is provided by SRI-PUSCH-PowerControl mapped by the SRI field in the DCI.


Optionally, the UE calculates the transmit power based on parameters provided by the SRI-PUSCH-PowerControl and adds a power offset value configured by the network side to the transmit power to obtain a final transmit power.


3.1.3. Higher-layer signaling indicates to the terminal whether the parameters in the CG configuration or the parameters indicated by DCI are used as the power control parameters for retransmission of CG.


Optionally, the higher-layer signaling is RRC or MAC CE.


In a case that neither the CG configuration includes power control parameters nor the higher-layer signaling indicates the power control parameters for retransmission of CG for the terminal, the power control parameters indicated by DCI are used.


The following further describes the methods in the foregoing embodiments by using some specific examples.


Example 1


FIG. 3 is a first schematic diagram of a configuration mode of a configured grant according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 3, a network side configures two SRS resource sets for UE. SRS resources indicated by srs-ResourceIndicator of the CG configuration or by an SRI field in DCI for activation belong to a first SRS resource set. A corresponding beam points to TRP1, and a power parameter of the CG configuration matches a target receiving TRP, namely TRP1, including a target receive power P0, a path loss reference signal PL-RS for calculating path loss, and a closed-loop power control adjustment state 1. In a case of data transmission error, the network side uses DCI to dynamically schedule retransmission of the data. The SRS resource indicated by the SRI field in the DCI belongs to a second SRS resource set, and the beam points to TRP2, meaning that the UE needs to use power control parameters that match a target TRP, namely TRP2, for transmitting the PUSCH retransmission. In this case, the UE can directly use SRI-PUSCH-powerControl that is mapped by an SRI value in the DCI for scheduling and that provides P0/α, PL-RS, and closed-loop power control index.


Alternatively, the UE may still use a power control reference signal of the CG configuration. In this case, due to a change of the beam, PL-RS obtained for the PUSCH retransmission may indicate a large path loss, resulting in a large transmit power of the UE and causing interferences to other users. Therefore, the network may configure a negative power offset value for the CG and add this power offset value to a power calculated based on parameters of the CG. This ensures that the power for receiving the data by a base station is approximately equal to a power for data from other users to reach the base station.


Example 2


FIG. 4 is a second schematic diagram of a configuration mode of a configured grant according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 4, one CG is configured with two srs-ResourceIndicators, or SRSs indicated by an SRI field in DCI for activation belong to two SRS resource sets, and two corresponding beams point to TRP1 and TRP2, respectively. Two sets of power control parameters are configured corresponding to the two SRIs. In a case that an error occurs in initial transmission of data on the CG, the network uses DCI to dynamically schedule retransmission of the data. SRS resources indicated by SRI in the DCI for scheduling belong to a same SRS resource set. In this case, when transmitting the PUSCH retransmission, UE uses power control parameters associated with a second SRI for power control. This is because the SRS resource set to which the SRS indicated by the SRI field in the DCI for dynamic scheduling belongs and the SRS resource set to which an SRS resource indicated by the second SRI in the CG belongs are the same resource set.


According to this solution, the power control parameters of the CG can still be used, which ensures the performance for transmitting the data on the CG to the TRP.

As shown in FIG. 5, one CG is configured with two SRIs, SRSs indicated by the SRIs belong to two SRS resource sets, and two corresponding beams point to TRP1 and TRP2, respectively. Two sets of power control parameters are configured corresponding to the two SRIs. In a case that an error occurs in initial transmission of data on the CG, the network uses DCI to dynamically schedule retransmission of the data. SRS resources indicated by SRI in the DCI for scheduling belong to two SRS resource sets. In this case, the UE uses the corresponding two sets of power control parameters of the CG for transmitting the PUSCH retransmission.


Example 4


FIG. 6 is a fourth schematic diagram of a configuration mode of a configured grant according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 6, one CG is configured with one srs-ResourceIndicator, and SRS resources indicated by the srs-ResourceIndicator belong to different SRS resource sets. Initial transmission of data is performed using two CGs, and two beams corresponding to the two CGs point to TRP1 and TRP2, respectively. In a case that an error occurs in initial transmission of the data on the CGs, the network uses DCI to dynamically schedule retransmission of the data. SRS resources indicated by SRI in the DCI for scheduling belong to a same SRS resource set. In this case, when transmitting the PUSCH retransmission, the UE uses power control parameters of CG1 for power control. This is because the SRS resource set to which the SRS indicated by the SRI field in the DCI for dynamic scheduling belongs and the SRS resource set to which an SRS resource indicated by the SRI in the CG1 belongs are the same resource set.

FIG. 7 is a fifth schematic diagram of a configuration mode of a configured grant according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 7, one CG is configured with one srs-ResourceIndicator, initial transmission of data is performed using two CGs, SRS resources indicated by the srs-ResourceIndicators of the two CGs belong to different SRS resource sets, and two corresponding beams point to TRP1 and TRP2, respectively. In a case that an error occurs in initial transmission of the data on the CGs, the network uses DCI to dynamically schedule retransmission of the data, where SRS resources indicated by SRI in the DCI for scheduling belong to a same SRS resource set. In this case, when the UE transmits the PUSCH retransmission, a beam corresponding to a first transmission occasion indicates that an SRS resource indicated by the SRI belongs to a same SRS resource set as an SRS resource indicated by SRI of CG1, and power control parameters of the CG1 configuration are used at the first transmission occasion; and a beam corresponding to a second transmission occasion indicates that an SRS resource indicated by the SRI belongs to a same SRS resource set as an SRS resource indicated by SRI of CG2, and power control parameters of the CG2 configuration are used at the second transmission occasion.

FIG. 8 is a sixth schematic diagram of a configuration mode of a configured grant according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 8, one CG is configured with one srs-ResourceIndicator, initial transmission of data is performed using two CGs, SRS resources indicated by the srs-ResourceIndicators of the two CGs belong to different SRS resource sets, and two corresponding beams point to TRP1 and TRP2, respectively. The two CGs are associated with different CORESETPoolIndex. In a case that an error occurs in initial transmission of the data on the CGs, the network uses two DCIs from CORESETs associated with different CORESETPoolIndex to dynamically schedule retransmission of the data, where SRS resources indicated by SRIs in the DCIs for scheduling belong to different SRS resource sets. In this case, the UE uses the power control parameters of the CG configuration for transmitting the PUSCH retransmission. In a case that PUSCH1 is scheduled by DCI from a CORESET associated with CORESETPoolIndex=0, the parameters in the CG1 associated with CORESETPoolIndex=0 are used as power control parameters for PUSCH1. Similarly, CG2 configuration is used for PUSCH2. The power control parameters herein include P0/α, PL-RS, and closed-loop power control state index 1.
