Embodiments of this disclosure provide a feedback information transmission method and apparatus, a device, and a medium. The following first describes a feedback information transmission method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure.
The feedback information transmission method provided in this embodiment of this disclosure may be applied to a terminal device transmitting data through a physical sidelink channel. For example, a HARQ is received through a PSSCH or a PSCCH, and feedback information corresponding to the HARQ is fed back through a PSFCH.
S101: Receive at least one piece of transmission information transmitted on at least one physical sidelink channel.
One piece of transmission information is transmitted on each physical sidelink channel.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the physical sidelink channel may include a PSSCH and/or a PSCCH.
For example, a quantity of the at least one physical sidelink channel is 3, and the three physical sidelink channels may all be PSSCHs; or the three physical sidelink channels may all be PSCCHs; or the three physical sidelink channels may be: one PSSCH and two PSCCHs; or the three physical sidelink channels may be: two PSSCHs and one PSCCH.
In other words, the at least one physical sidelink channel in this embodiment of this disclosure may all be PSSCHs or PSCCHs, or may be some PSSCHs and some PSCCHs.
The transmission information transmitted on each physical sidelink channel in this embodiment of this disclosure refers to data transmitted on the physical sidelink channel.
S102: Determine power information corresponding to each of at least one piece of feedback information that corresponds to the at least one piece of transmission information.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the power information corresponding to the feedback information is power information of a PSFCH resource carrying the feedback information.
S103: Transmit corresponding feedback information on at least one PSFCH resource based on the power information corresponding to each piece of feedback information.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the power information may be a transmit power, a transmit power spectrum, or a power spectral density (PSD).
According to the feedback information transmission method in this embodiment of this disclosure, the power information corresponding to each of the at least one piece of feedback information that corresponds to the at least one piece of transmission information is determined; and the corresponding feedback information is transmitted on the at least one PSFCH resource based on the power information corresponding to each piece of feedback information, so that the corresponding feedback information can be transmitted based on the power information corresponding to each piece of feedback information.
In the following, that the power information is a transmit power is used as an example for description.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, it may be determined that a transmit power corresponding to each piece of feedback information is a preset transmit power.
For example, it is assumed that the preset transmit power is 1 watt (W). Then, the transmit power corresponding to each piece of feedback information is 1 W.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, it may be determined that the transmit power corresponding to each piece of feedback information is an arithmetic mean of a total transmit power divided by a quantity of feedback information.
For example, assuming that there are 10 pieces of feedback information, and a total transmit power is 20 W, an arithmetic mean of the total transmit power is 20 W/10=2 W. Then, it is determined that a transmit power corresponding to each piece of feedback information is 2 W.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, a transmit power corresponding to each piece of feedback information may be determined based on first attribute information. The first attribute information may include any one of the following channel state information (CSI) of a monitored link, a reference signal received power (RSRP) of the monitored link, a distance to a device transmitting the transmission information, and a location of the device transmitting the transmission information.
For example, the distance to the device transmitting the transmission information is used as an example for description.
It is assumed that a correspondence between the distance to the device transmitting the transmission information and the transmit power corresponding to the feedback information is predefined. For example, if the distance to the device transmitting the transmission information is within 1 kilometer, a transmit power corresponding to the corresponding feedback information is x decibels relative to one milliwatt (decibel relative to one milliwatt, dBm); if the distance to the device transmitting the transmission information is within a range of 1 kilometer to 2 kilometers, a transmit power corresponding to the corresponding feedback information is x+y dBm; if the distance to the device transmitting the transmission information is within a range of 2 kilometers to 3 kilometers, a transmit power corresponding to the corresponding feedback information is x+2y dBm; . . . . In other words, the transmit power is increased by y dBm for every specific increase in the distance range.
After the transmission information is received, the distance to the device transmitting the transmission information is determined; and then the transmit power corresponding to the feedback information that corresponds to the transmission information is determined based on the correspondence between the distance to the device transmitting the transmission information and the transmit power corresponding to the feedback information.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the transmit power corresponding to each piece of feedback information may be determined based on second attribute information of the transmission information. The second attribute information may include any one of the following: quality of service (QoS), a priority, a modulation and coding scheme (MCS), a size of a resource occupied, and a quantity of layers.
For example, a priority of the transmission information is used as an example for description.
It is assumed that a correspondence between the priority of the transmission information and the transmit power corresponding to the feedback information is predefined. For example, a transmit power corresponding to feedback information that corresponds to transmission information of a first priority is x dBm; a transmit power corresponding to feedback information that corresponds to transmission information of a second priority is x+y dBm; a transmit power corresponding to feedback information that corresponds to transmission information of a third priority is x+2y dBm; . . . . In other words, the transmit power is increased by y dBm for every corresponding increase of one priority.
After the transmission information is received, the priority of the transmission information is determined; and then the transmit power corresponding to the feedback information that corresponds to the transmission information is determined based on the correspondence between the priority of the transmission information and the transmit power corresponding to the feedback information.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the transmit power corresponding to each piece of feedback information may be determined based on a transmission mode for transmitting the transmission information. The transmission mode may include: transmitting the transmission information using a beam, and transmitting the transmission information without using a beam.
For example, it is assumed that a correspondence between the transmission mode and the transmit power corresponding to the feedback information is predefined. For example, a transmit power corresponding to feedback information that corresponds to transmission using a beam is x dBm; and a transmit power corresponding to feedback information that corresponds to transmission without using a beam is x+y dBm.
After the transmission information is received, it is determined whether the transmission information is transmitted using a beam. If it is determined that the transmission information is transmitted using a beam, a transmit power corresponding to feedback information that corresponds to the transmission information is determined to be x dBm; if it is determined that the transmission information is transmitted without using a beam, a transmit power corresponding to feedback information that corresponds to the transmission information is determined to be x+y dBm.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the transmit power corresponding to each piece of feedback information may be determined based on a transmission type of the at least one piece of transmission information.
The transmission type in this embodiment of this disclosure may include: unicast, multicast based on a first feedback manner, and multicast based on a second feedback manner. For multicast based on the first feedback manner, all receiving devices share a PSFCH resource, and the receiving devices feed back only negative acknowledgments (NACKs). For multicast based on the second feedback manner, the receiving devices occupy different PSFCH resources, and feed back acknowledgments (ACKs) or NACKs on their respective PSFCH resources occupied.
It is assumed that a correspondence between the transmission type of the transmission information and the transmit power corresponding to the feedback information is predefined. For example, a transmit power corresponding to unicast is x dBm; a transmit power corresponding to multicast based on the first feedback manner is x−y dBm; and a transmit power corresponding to multicast based on the second feedback manner is x dBm.
After the transmission information is received, the transmission type of the transmission information is determined; and then the transmit power corresponding to the feedback information that corresponds to the transmission information is determined based on the correspondence between the transmission type of the transmission information and the transmit power corresponding to the feedback information.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the transmit power corresponding to each piece of feedback information may be determined based on a priority corresponding to the transmission type of the at least one piece of transmission information.
For example, a priority corresponding to unicast is higher than a priority corresponding to multicast based on the second feedback manner, and the priority corresponding to multicast based on the second feedback manner is a higher than a priority corresponding to multicast based on the first feedback manner. A transmit power corresponding to the lowest priority is x dBm, and a transmit power difference corresponding to two adjacent priorities is y dBm.
After the transmission information is received, the transmission type of the transmission information is determined; and then the transmit power corresponding to the feedback information that corresponds to the transmission information is determined based on the priority relationship and the transmit power difference.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the transmit power corresponding to each piece of feedback information may be determined based on a PSFCH format corresponding to each piece of feedback information.
The PSFCH format is not limited in this embodiment of this disclosure, and any available PSFCH format may be applied to this embodiment of this disclosure.
For example, it is assumed that a correspondence between the PSFCH format and the transmit power corresponding to the feedback information is predefined. For example, a transmit power corresponding to a first PSFCH format is 1 W, a transmit power corresponding to a second PSFCH format is 2 W, and a transmit power corresponding to a third PSFCH format is 3 W.
After the transmission information is received, the PSFCH format of the feedback information corresponding to the transmission information is determined; and then the transmit power corresponding to the feedback information that corresponds to the transmission information is determined based on the correspondence between the PSFCH format and the transmit power corresponding to the feedback information. Assuming that the PSFCH format of the feedback information corresponding to the transmission information is the second PSFCH format, it is determined that the transmit power corresponding to the feedback information that corresponds to the transmission information is 2 W.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the transmit power corresponding to each piece of feedback information may be determined based on a priority of the PSFCH format corresponding to each piece of feedback information.
For example, a priority of the first PSFCH format is higher than a priority of the second PSFCH format, and the priority of the second PSFCH format is higher than a priority of the third PSFCH format. A transmit power corresponding to the lowest priority is x dBm, and a transmit power difference corresponding to two adjacent priorities is y dBm.
After the transmission information is received, the PSFCH format corresponding to the feedback information that corresponds to the transmission information is determined; and then the transmit power corresponding to the feedback information that corresponds to the transmission information is determined based on the priority relationship and the transmit power difference.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, if a receiving device needs to transmit different information on a plurality of PSFCH resources simultaneously, for example, if the receiving device performs feedback on a plurality of PSCCH or PSSCH transmissions simultaneously, and transmits CSI corresponding to a plurality of transmitting devices simultaneously, power information of the receiving device on different resources is the same, or the corresponding power information is determined based on QoS, a priority, an MCS, a size of a resource occupied, a quantity of layers, and a transmission mode (whether a transmission uses a beam) that are of transmission information received from the plurality of transmitting devices; or CSI of a monitored link, an RSRP of the monitored link, distances from the plurality of transmitting devices, locations of the plurality of transmitting devices, and the like.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, before the determining power information corresponding to each of at least one piece of feedback information that corresponds to the at least one piece of transmission information, the feedback information transmission method provided in this embodiment of this disclosure may further include: determining feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped, until a transmit power of a transmitting device can support the quantity of feedback information transmitted by the transmitting device simultaneously.
The determining power information corresponding to each of at least one piece of feedback information that corresponds to the at least one piece of transmission information may include: determining power information corresponding to each piece of feedback information for which transmission has not been dropped.
As shown in
In this embodiment of this disclosure, the power information corresponding to each piece of feedback information for which transmission has not been dropped may be determined by using the foregoing method for determining the power information. For details, refer to the foregoing method for determining the power information, and details are not described herein in this embodiment of this disclosure.
In the following, that the power information is a transmit power is still used as an example for description.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be randomly selected.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be determined based on third attribute information. The third attribute information includes any one of the following: CSI of a monitored link, an RSRP of the monitored link, a distance to a device transmitting the transmission information, and a location of the device transmitting the transmission information.
For example, the distance to the device transmitting the transmission information is used as an example for description.
Assuming that a distance to a device transmitting first transmission information is 1 kilometer and that a distance to a device transmitting second transmission information is 2 kilometers, it is determined that the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped is feedback information corresponding to the second transmission information.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be determined based on fourth attribute information of the transmission information. The fourth attribute information may include any one of the following: QoS, a priority, an MCS, a size of a resource occupied by the transmission information, and a quantity of layers.
For example, a priority of the transmission information is used as an example for description.
It is assumed that a priority of the first transmission information is higher than a priority of the second transmission information. Then, it is determined that the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped is feedback information corresponding to the second transmission information.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be determined based on the transmission mode for transmitting the transmission information. The transmission mode may include: transmitting the transmission information using a beam, or transmitting the transmission information without using a beam.
For example, it is assumed that the first transmission information is transmitted without using a beam and that the second transmission information is transmitted using a beam. Then, it is determined that the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped is feedback information corresponding to the first transmission information.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be determined based on a response state of the feedback information.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, if feedback information corresponding to a negative acknowledgment state corresponds to unicast transmission or multicast transmission based on a second feedback manner, it is determined that the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be the feedback information corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state.
For example, assuming that feedback information 1 corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to unicast transmission, feedback information 2 corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission based on the second feedback manner, feedback information 3 corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission based on the second feedback manner, and feedback information 4 corresponding to an acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission based on the first feedback manner, it is determined that the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be feedback information corresponding to the feedback information 1, feedback information corresponding to the feedback information 2, and feedback information corresponding to the feedback information 3.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, if the feedback information corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to unicast transmission or multicast transmission based on the second feedback manner, it is determined that the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be feedback information corresponding to the acknowledgment state.
For example, assuming that the feedback information 1 corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to unicast transmission, the feedback information 2 corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission based on the second feedback manner, the feedback information 3 corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission based on the second feedback manner, and the feedback information 4 corresponding to the acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission based on the first feedback manner, it is determined that the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be feedback information corresponding to the feedback information 4.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, if the feedback information corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission based on the first feedback manner, it is determined that the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped is the feedback information corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state.
For example, assuming that the feedback information 1 corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission based on the first feedback manner, the feedback information 2 corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission based on the first feedback manner, feedback information 3 corresponding to the acknowledgment state corresponds to unicast transmission, and the feedback information 4 corresponding to the acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission based on the second feedback manner, it is determined that the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be feedback information corresponding to the feedback information 1, and feedback information corresponding to the feedback information 2.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, if the feedback information corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission based on the first feedback manner, it is determined that the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped is feedback information corresponding to the acknowledgment state.

In an embodiment of this disclosure, if the feedback information corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission based on the first feedback manner and multicast transmission not based on the first feedback manner, it is determined that the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped is feedback information corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state that corresponds to multicast transmission based on the first feedback manner.
For example, assuming that the feedback information 1 corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission based on the first feedback manner, the feedback information 2 corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission not based on the first feedback manner, the feedback information 3 corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission not based on the first feedback manner, and feedback information 4 corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission based on the first feedback manner, it is determined that the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be feedback information corresponding to the feedback information 1, and feedback information corresponding to the feedback information 4.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, if the feedback information corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission based on the first feedback manner and multicast transmission not based on the first feedback manner, it is determined that the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped is feedback information corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state that corresponds to multicast transmission not based on the first feedback manner.
For example, assuming that the feedback information 1 corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission based on the first feedback manner, the feedback information 2 corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission not based on the first feedback manner, the feedback information 3 corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission not based on the first feedback manner, and the feedback information 4 corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state corresponds to multicast transmission based on the first feedback manner, it is determined that the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be feedback information corresponding to the feedback information 2 and feedback information corresponding to the feedback information 3.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, when less than N pieces of feedback information corresponding to the acknowledgment state need to be dropped from N pieces of feedback information corresponding to the acknowledgment state, or when less than N pieces of feedback information corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state need to be dropped from N pieces of feedback information corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state, or when one or more pieces of feedback information corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state need to be dropped in addition to feedback information corresponding to the acknowledgment state, or when one or more pieces of feedback information corresponding to the acknowledgment state need to be dropped in addition to feedback information corresponding to the negative acknowledgment state, the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be randomly selected, or the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be determined based on third attribute information of a channel state of a physical sidelink channel, or the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be determined based on fourth attribute information of the transmission information, or the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be determined based on a transmission mode of transmitting the transmission information.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be determined based on a transmission type of the at least one piece of transmission information.
For example, it is assumed that a transmission type of transmission information 1 is unicast, that a transmission type of transmission information 2 is multicast based on the first feedback manner, that a transmission type of transmission information 3 is multicast based on the second feedback manner, and that a transmission type of transmission information 4 is unicast. Then, it is determined that the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be feedback information corresponding to the transmission information 1 and feedback information corresponding to the transmission information 4.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be determined based on a priority corresponding to the transmission type of the at least one piece of transmission information.
For example, it is assumed that a priority of unicast is higher than that of multicast based on the first feedback manner, and a priority of multicast based on the first feedback manner is higher than that of multicast based on the second feedback manner.
A transmission type of transmission information 1 is unicast, a transmission type of transmission information 1 is multicast based on the first feedback manner, a transmission type of transmission information 3 is multicast based on the second feedback manner, and a transmission type of transmission information 4 is multicast based on the first feedback manner. Then, it is determined that the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be feedback information corresponding to the transmission information 3.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be determined based on a PSFCH format corresponding to each piece of feedback information.
For example, it is assumed that a PSFCH format corresponding to feedback information 1 is a first PSFCH format, a PSFCH format corresponding to feedback information 2 is a second PSFCH format, a PSFCH format corresponding to feedback information 3 is the second PSFCH format, and a PSFCH format corresponding to feedback information 4 is a third PSFCH format. Then, it is determined that the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be the feedback information 2 and the feedback information 3.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be determined based on a priority of the PSFCH format corresponding to each piece of feedback information.
For example, it is assumed that a priority of the first PSFCH format is higher than a priority of the second PSFCH format, and the priority of the second PSFCH format is higher than a priority of the third PSFCH format. The PSFCH format corresponding to the feedback information 1 is the first PSFCH format, the PSFCH format corresponding to the feedback information 2 is the third PSFCH format, the PSFCH format corresponding to the feedback information 3 is the second PSFCH format, and the PSFCH format corresponding to the feedback information 4 is the third PSFCH format. Then, it is determined that the feedback information for which transmission needs to be dropped may be the feedback information 2 and the feedback information 4.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, before the transmitting corresponding feedback information on at least one PSFCH resource based on the power information corresponding to each piece of feedback information, the feedback information transmission method provided in this embodiment of this disclosure may further include: performing a logical operation on feedback information for one transmit end, to obtain a logical operation result of the feedback information for the one transmit end; and transmitting the logical operation result of the feedback information for the one transmit end on a predefined or preconfigured PSFCH resource.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the logical operation may be a logical AND operation, a logical OR operation, or logical AND and OR operations.
For example, assuming that feedback information for a transmit end X includes feedback information 1, feedback information 2, and feedback information 3, and feedback information for a transmit end Y includes feedback information 4 and feedback information 5, a logical operation is performed on the feedback information 1, the feedback information 2, and the feedback information 3 to obtain a logical operation result of the feedback information for the transmit end X, and a logical operation is performed on the feedback information 4 and the feedback information 5 to obtain a logical operation result of the feedback information for the transmit end Y. The logical operation result of the feedback information for the transmit end X is configured on a first PSFCH channel resource, and the logical operation result of the feedback information for the transmit end Y is configured on a second PSFCH channel resource.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the PSFCH resource on which the logical operation result of the feedback information is configured may be a PSFCH resource with the largest or smallest index in PSFCH channel resources.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, it may be specified that when a receiving device performs feedback on a plurality of pieces of transmission information from one transmitting device simultaneously, the receiving device needs to perform a logical operation on a plurality of pieces of feedback information corresponding to the plurality of pieces of transmission information. When the transmitting device receives the feedback from the receiving device, it is considered by default that the receiving device has performed a logical operation on the plurality of pieces of feedback information corresponding to the plurality of pieces of transmission information.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, a transmit power corresponding to the logical operation result of the feedback information for one transmit end may be a sum of transmit powers corresponding to the feedback information for the one transmit end.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, before the receiving at least one piece of transmission information transmitted on at least one physical sidelink channel, the feedback information transmission method provided in this embodiment of this disclosure may further include: transmitting indication information to each transmit end, where the indication information is used to indicate a physical sidelink channel resource that is used for transmission by each transmit end.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, the receiving device may notify the transmitting device of the physical sidelink channel resource that is used for transmission by the transmitting device.
The receiving device may notify the transmitting device in the following several manners:
Manner 1: notifying in a form of a physical sidelink channel resource, for example, notifying the transmitting device of a time-frequency resource for a physical sidelink channel used for transmission by the transmitting device and a periodicity of the time-frequency resource. Based on this, the indication information may include: a time-frequency resource for a physical sidelink channel used for transmission by each transmit end and a periodicity of the time-frequency resource. For another example, the transmitting device is notified of a time-frequency resource set for the physical sidelink channel used for transmission by the transmitting device and a periodicity of the time-frequency resource set. Based on this, the indication information may include: a time-frequency resource set for the physical sidelink channel used for transmission by each transmit end and a periodicity of the time-frequency resource set.
Manner 2: notifying in a form of a PSFCH occasion, for example, notifying the transmitting device of a PSFCH occasion corresponding to a physical sidelink channel resource that is used for transmission by the transmitting device and a periodicity of the PSFCH occasion. Based on this, the indication information may include: a PSFCH occasion corresponding to the physical sidelink channel resource that is used for transmission by each transmit end and a periodicity of the PSFCH occasion.
Manner 3: notifying by means of signaling. For example, the transmitting device is notified, through higher layer signaling or physical layer signaling, of the physical sidelink channel resource used for transmission by the transmitting device. The higher layer signaling is, for example, radio resource control (RRC) signaling. The physical layer signaling is, for example, sidelink control information (SCI). Based on this, the indication information is carried by signaling, and the signaling includes higher layer signaling or physical layer signaling.
The transmitting device needs to transmit the transmission information on the physical sidelink channel resource notified by the receiving device; or the transmitting device may choose whether to transmit the transmission information on the physical sidelink channel resource notified by the receiving device.
According to this embodiment of this disclosure, the receiving device can coordinate different PSFCH occasions corresponding to transmissions on physical sidelink channel resources of different transmitting devices, thereby avoiding, at its source, transmitting corresponding feedback information on different PSFCHs simultaneously.
