This application is the U.S. national phase of PCT Application No. PCT/CN2019/083622 filed on Apr. 22, 2019, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201810596638.4 filed on Jun. 11, 2018, the disclosures of which are incorporated in their entirety by reference herein.
The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a downlink control channel detection method, a terminal, and a network side device.

In this way, it can be realized that the downlink control channel detection is triggered by the above energy-saving signal, and can be directly performed by the detection information indicated by the energy-saving signal, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal.
In order that the technical problems to be solved by the present disclosure, the technical solutions and the advantages are clearer, a detailed description will be given below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
Referring to
Referring to
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the above energy-saving signal may be a signal for activating (or triggering) PDCCH blind decoding. If the terminal detects the energy-saving signal, performs the blind decoding on the PDCCH within the above activation time. For example, the above energy-saving signal may be a Wakeup Signal (WUS), and thus the energy-saving signal window may be a WUS window. Of course, this is not limited. For example, the above energy-saving signal may also be another signal defined in the protocol, or another signal agreed in advance by the network side device and the terminal. In addition, the above energy saving signal may be a UE specific signal.
The above detection information may be information related to downlink control channel detection. Optionally, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the detection information includes: an AL and/or a candidate location. In this way, with this AL and/or the candidate location, the terminal can only need to detect this AL without detecting other ALs, which reduces the complexity of blind detection of the downlink control channel to save the power consumption of the terminal. It can also be realized that the terminal only needs to detect the candidate location indicated by the above energy-saving signal, and does not need to detect other candidate locations, which reduces the complexity of blind detection of the downlink control channel, thereby saving the power consumption of the terminal. Of course, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the above detection information is not limited to ALs and/or candidate locations, for example, it may also be other information parameters associated with detecting downlink control channels. In addition, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, detecting the downlink control channel may be blindly detecting the downlink control channel.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the above energy-saving signal indicating the detection information of a downlink control channel may be: indicating the detection information in an explicit or implicit manner, and thus the energy-saving signal indicating the detection information may also be understood as the energy-saving signal carrying (or including) the above detection information. Optionally, the above energy-saving signal is used to indicate data arrival and the detection information. Therefore, after receiving the energy-saving signal, the terminal can determine that the data is about to arrive, thereby detecting the downlink control channel.
The step 202 of detecting the downlink control channel by the terminal according to the detection information if the energy-saving signal is detected may be understood as follows: if the terminal detects the above energy-saving signal, it activates (or triggers) the downlink control channel detection, and performs detection according to the above detection information. In this way, It can be realized that the terminal can detect the downlink control channel only after detecting the energy-saving signal, that is, the terminal can determine the arrival time of the downlink control channel through the energy-saving signal.
Through the above steps, it can be realized that the downlink control channel is detected only after the energy-saving signal is detected, and the detection is performed according to the above detection information, thereby reducing the time that the terminal needs to detect the downlink control channel. Also, there is no need to perform detection according to multiple pieces of detection information, reducing the complexity of blind detection of the downlink control channel, thereby saving the power consumption of the terminal.
It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the downlink control channel may be a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), but it is not limited. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the downlink control channel may refer to various possible definitions of existing and future control channels, such as: Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (ePDCCH) or MTC Physical Downlink Control Channel (MPDCCH) and so on.
In addition, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the state of the above terminal may be a connected mode (RRC_Connected) or a non-connected mode, such as an idle mode (RRC_IDLE) or an inactive mode (RRC_Inactive). In addition, the embodiment of the present disclosure can support licensed bands, and can also support unlicensed bands, and can be applied to NR technology and other communication systems, such as LTE.
As an optional implementation, the energy-saving signal includes at least one of:
As an optional implementation, the energy-saving signal indicates the detection information through at least one of:
Wherein, the above target sequence may be obtained by performing the above function operation on the above third sequence. For example, the above function may be a function processing such as cyclic repetition, or truncation, or orthogonal spreading, etc.
In addition, the above first sequence, second sequence, and third sequence may be sequences defined in the protocol, or may be sequences agreed in advance by the network side device and the terminal. For example, the first sequence includes a PN sequence, an orthogonal sequence, or a CAZAC sequence; and/or
Wherein, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the PN sequence may be a general term for pseudo-random sequence, for example, M sequence or gold sequence belongs to the PN sequence, while the orthogonal sequence may include many sequences, such as Hadamard sequence or Walsh sequence, etc., that are commonly used.
It should be noted that, since the above target sequence may be a function of the DMRS sequence, in this embodiment, the above energy-saving signal may be constructed by the DMRS sequence. Because the energy-saving signal may be the above target sequence, the above energy-saving signal which is constructed by the DMRS sequence can indicate both data arrival and the above detection information. In this way, there is no need to add the corresponding relationship between the energy-saving signal and the detection information, because there is a corresponding relationship between the DMRS sequence and the detection information, for example, there is a corresponding relationship between DMRS and AL. Therefore, after the terminal detects the above energy-saving signal, it can determine the detection information indicated by it, thereby reducing complexity and saving power consumption of the terminal.
Of course, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first sequence, the second sequence, and the third sequence are not limited. For example, the first sequence, the second sequence, and the third sequence may also be ZC sequences or synchronization sequences with equivalent functions, etc.
In this implementation, the detection information is indicated by at least one of the target sequence, the input parameter of the first sequence, and the cyclic shift value of the second sequence, so that there is no need to define a new sequence when indicating the detection information, thereby reducing the complexity of detecting the downlink control channel to further reduce the power consumption of the terminal. Of course, the target sequence, the input parameter of the first sequence, and the cyclic shift value of the second sequence also indicate the arrival of data.
Optionally, the detection information includes an AL, the energy-saving signal includes the target sequence, the target sequence is used to indicate the AL and data arrival;
Wherein the above sequence corresponding to the DMRS may be the DMRS sequence of ALs, or may be a sequence having a specific corresponding relationship with the DMRS of ALs, which is not limited.
In this implementation, it can be realized that, when the target sequence is a function of the DMRS sequence, the terminal uses the sequence corresponding to the DMRS of the ALs to perform correlation peak detection on the target sequence. When the above maximum correlation peak is detected, it is determined that the terminal detects the above energy-saving signal. In addition, the AL indicated by the energy-saving signal can also be determined, so that there is no need to blindly decode other ALs, thereby reducing the complexity of detecting the downlink control channel and further saving the power consumption of the terminal.
In addition, it should be noted that in this embodiment, since the target sequence is a function of the DMRS sequence, it can be realized that no other sequences need to be defined or referenced when detecting the downlink control channel, thereby reducing complexity.
For example: before sending the PDCCH/Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) to the terminal, the base station sends an energy-saving signal on a definite resource. The energy-saving signal may be a UE specific signal. The signal is the function of the DMRS corresponding to the PDCCH of the terminal. For example, it is preset that the signal is a sequence of length N (which can occupy M OFDM symbols, M>=1), and the signal is a function of the DMRS corresponding to the PDCCH. The above functional relationship is expressed as a simple function: assuming that the length of the corresponding DMRS sequence of the terminal under the AL of the PDCCH is less than N, a simple repetition method is adopted, such as cyclically repeating the original DMRS sequence to obtain a target sequence of length N. Assuming N=5, DMRS=[x1 x2 x3], the target sequence is [x1 x2 x3 x1 x2]; if the length of the DMRS sequence corresponding to the terminal on the PDCCH is greater than N, the direct truncation method is adopted to obtain the sequence. The terminal blindly decodes the sequence on the corresponding resource, and a simple method uses the sequence corresponding to the DMRS of possible different aggregation levels of the PDCCH to perform the correlation peak detection with the received sequence of length N. When the correlation peak is the maximum and greater than a certain threshold, it is considered that the data of the terminal is coming soon, and the aggregation level corresponding to the maximum correlation peak is the aggregation level corresponding to the PDCCH. The terminal directly uses this aggregation level to detect the PDCCH, and no longer blindly decodes other aggregation levels. The above functional relationship is just a simple example. For example, orthogonal spreading of the DMRS sequence can also obtain a sequence of length N. All functional relationships of the DMRS are within the protective scope of the present disclosure.
Optionally, the detection information includes the AL, the energy-saving signal includes the cyclic shift value of the second sequence, the cyclic shift value of the second sequence is used to indicate the AL.
Wherein, the above cyclic shift value may also be referred to as a cyclic shift parameter.
In this implementation, it can be realized that, when the detection information includes AL, the energy-saving signal indicates the AL through the cyclic shift value of the second sequence, that is, in this implementation, different cyclic shift values correspond to different ALs. In this way, the cyclic shift value of the second sequence is used to indicate the AL, which can realize that there is no need to newly define or reference other sequences when detecting the downlink control channel, thereby reducing complexity.
In addition, in this implementation, the above energy-saving signal may include multiple signal subsets, wherein one of the signal subsets is used to indicate the above AL. For example, the energy-saving signal is a discovery signal, the discovery signal includes multiple signal subsets, wherein one of the signal subsets is used to indicate the above AL. Or, the above energy-saving signal is a signal subset of a certain signal, for example, is a signal subset of discovery signal.
After detecting a first signal subset, the terminal initiates power rumping. If the terminal receives a second signal subset (i.e., the above AL), the terminal detects the downlink control channel according to this AL, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal.
The above energy-saving signal may be a UE specific signal, may be directly used as a discovery signal in the RRC-connected mode, or may be used as a part of the discovery signals. As shown in
Of course, in the above implementation, in some scenarios, the candidate location may also be indicated by the cyclic shift value of the second sequence, that is, in this implementation, different cyclic shift values correspond to different candidate locations. Or, the cyclic shift value of the second sequence is used to indicate the AL and/or candidate location, for example, the corresponding relationship between the cyclic shift value of the second sequence and the detection information (for example, the AL and/or candidate location) is pre-configured.
Optionally, the energy-saving signal includes the first sequence, wherein an initial value of the first sequence is a terminal identification of the terminal, the input parameter of the first sequence includes the detection information.
Wherein, the above input parameter may be understood as an external input parameter of the first sequence.
In this implementation, it can be realized that, the above detection information (for example: the AL and/or candidate location) may be used as the input parameter of the first sequence. Therefore, after receiving the first sequence, the terminal may obtain the above input parameter through the above initial value and the above first sequence, and thus obtain the above detection information. In this way, it can be realized that there is no need to newly define or reference other sequences when detecting the downlink control channel, thereby reducing complexity.
For example: the above energy-saving signal (for example: UE specific signal) can also be implemented with the PN sequence. The PN sequence has multiple input parameters, terminal identification (UE ID) information is used as the initial value of the PN sequence, the aggregation level corresponding to the PDCCH and the PDCCH candidate location information are used as external input parameters. This sequence may generally be sent before the PDCCH. After detecting the sequence, the terminal can not only determine the aggregation level of the PDCCH, but also determine the PDCCH candidate location information, which greatly reduces the complexity of PDCCH detection.
It should be noted that the above methods for generating the energy-saving signal carrying PDCCH detection information are only specific examples, and other implementation are not excluded.
As an optional implementation, the above energy-saving signal includes a discovery signal, a signal subset of discovery signal, or an On-demand Reference Signal (On-demand RS).
Wherein, the above discovery signal may be a discovery signal in a connected mode. Of course, in some scenarios, it may also be a discovery signal in a non-connected mode.
In addition, when the energy-saving signal includes the On-demand RS, the On-demand RS may be used as a signal subset of the energy-saving signal, and the energy-saving signal may include other signal subsets in addition to the signal subset; or, when the energy-saving signal is the On-demand RS, the On-demand RS may be used as a signal subset of a certain signal, or the On-demand RS may be used as an independent signal, that is, it is not used as a signal subset of a certain signal.
For example: the energy-saving signal (such as the UE specific signal) may also be used as the on-demand RS. As shown in
As an optional implementation, the energy-saving signal includes at least a first signal subset and a second signal subset, the first signal subset is located before the second signal subset, the second signal subset is at least used to indicate the detection information;
In this implementation, it can be realized that the first signal subset wakes up the receiver of the terminal to perform power ramping, and then the second signal subset is detected. After the second signal subset is detected, it starts to detect the downlink control channel according to the detection information. This can further save the power consumption of the terminal, because when the first signal subset is detected, the downlink control channel is not detected, and only power ramp is performed. Instead, the downlink control channel is detected only when the second signal subset is detected. Optionally, the interval between the location of the second signal subset and the location of the downlink control channel may be 0 or less than a preset threshold.
In addition, in this implementation, the case where the energy-saving signal includes multiple signal subsets is introduced. In some implementations, the above energy-saving signal may also be understood as a signal subset of a certain signal. For such implementation of the energy-saving signal, please see the above second signal subset. In other words, the above first signal subset may be understood as another signal, and the second signal subset may be understood as the energy-saving signal.
As an optional implementation, the energy-saving signal includes at least one signal subset, wherein a signal subset for indicating the detection information is frequency-division-multiplexed with the downlink control channel, or the signal subset for indicating the detection information is transmitted before the downlink control channel.
In this implementation, it can be realized that the signal subset for indicating the detection information is frequency-division-multiplexed with the downlink control channel, that is, they are transmitted at the same time, which can improve the working efficiency of the terminal. And time division multiplexing may also be implemented, that is, transmission is not performed at the same time, but the same frequency domain resource may be used for transmission, thereby saving frequency domain resources. It should be noted that, when the energy-saving signal includes only one signal subset, the energy-saving signal is frequency-division-multiplexed with the downlink control channel, or is transmitted before the downlink control channel.
Of course, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the technical solution in which the signal subset indicating the detection information is transmitted after the downlink control channel is not excluded.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the multiple optional implementations as provided above can be implemented independently or in combination with each other, which is not limited.
The technical solution introduced by the embodiment of the present disclosure can achieve the following:
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal performs energy-saving signal detection, wherein the energy-saving signal is at least used to indicate the detection information of the downlink control channel; if the energy-saving signal is detected, the terminal detects the downlink control channel according to the detection information. In this way, it can be realized that the downlink control channel detection is triggered by the above energy-saving signal, and the detection can be directly performed by the detection information indicated by the energy-saving signal, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal.
