INFORMATION SENDING METHOD, INFORMATION RECEIVING METHOD, AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE

TECHNICAL FIELD

This application relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to an information sending method, an information receiving method, and a communication device.

BACKGROUND

In related technologies, an overlapped x-domain multiplexing (OVXDM)/faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) technology artificially introduces inter symbol interference (ISI) and/or inter carrier interference (ICI) in a time/frequency domain based on a waveform encoding theory, to improve a symbol transmission rate and increase an equivalent channel capacity. However, a waveform coded signal requires higher performance of a receiver, increasing the complexity of a decoding algorithm and power consumption of hardware. Generally, a larger overlapped time/frequency domain coefficient (which is referred to as a quantity of overlapped time domain layers) during waveform encoding, that is, more serious artificially introduced ISI and ICI, indicates that more states need to be determined on the receiver side and the complexity of the receiving algorithm is higher. For example, the receiver complexity of the OVTDM waveform grows exponentially with the increase of the overlapped time domain coefficient.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are clearly described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Apparently, the described embodiments are some rather than all of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

The specification and claims of this application, and terms “first” and “second” are used to distinguish similar objects, but are not used to describe a specific sequence or order. It should be understood that the data termed in such a way are interchangeable in appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than the order illustrated or described herein. In addition, the objects distinguished by “first” and “second” are usually of a same type, without limiting a quantity of objects, for example, there may be one or more first objects. In addition, “and/or” in the description and the claims means at least one of the connected objects, and the character “I” in this specification generally indicates an “or” relationship between the associated objects.

It should be noted that the technologies described in the embodiments of this application are not limited to a Long Term Evolution (LTE)/LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) system, and can be further used in other wireless communication systems, such as code division multiple address (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA), and other systems. The terms “system” and “network” in the embodiments of this application are often used interchangeably, and the described technologies can be used not only for the above-mentioned systems and radio technologies, but also for other systems and radio technologies. However, the following description describes a New Radio (NR) system for exemplary purposes, and uses NR terms in most of the following descriptions, although these technologies are also applicable to applications other than the NR system application, such as a 6th generation (6G) communication system.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a wireless communication system to which an embodiment of this application is applicable. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network-side device 12. The terminal 11 may also be referred to as a terminal device or a user terminal (User Equipment, UE). The terminal 11 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer or referred to as a notebook computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a palmtop computer, an netbook, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a mobile Internet device (MID), a wearable device, or vehicular user equipment (VUE), pedestrian user equipment (PUE), and other terminal-side devices. The wearable device includes bands, headsets, glasses, or the like. It should be noted that, a specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited in this embodiment of this application. The network-side device 12 may be a base station or a core network. The base station may be referred to as a Node B, an evolved Node B, an access point, a base transceiver station (BTS), a radio base station, a radio transceiver, a basic service set (BSS), an extended service set (ESS), a node B, an evolved node B (eNB), a home node B, a home evolved node B, a WLAN access point, a Wi-Fi node, a transmitting/receiving point (TRP), or some other suitable term in the field, provided that a same technical effect is achieved. The base station is not limited to a specific technical term. It should be noted that, in this embodiment of this application, only a base station in an NR system is used as an example, but the specific type of the base station is not limited.

OVXDM/FTN is a signal processing method that artificially introduces an appropriate amount of ISI and/or ICI by preprocessing a transmitted signal (also referred to as waveform encoding), and the purpose is to speed up a symbol transmission rate, that is, increase a quantity of symbols transmitted per second per Hertz (Hz*s). The full name of FTN is Faster-than-Nyquist, that is, a faster then Nyquist technology. OVXDM includes overlapped time division multiplexing (OVTDM), overlapped frequency division multiplexing (OVFDM), and overlapped code division multiplexing (OVCDM), as well as a combination of OVTDM and OVFDM with the full name being Overlapped X-Domain Multiplexing, that is, overlapped X-domain multiplexing. In addition, the introduced ISI and ICI increases the complexity of decoding, which may increase a bit error rate. However, the negative effect caused by the increase of the bit error rate can be suppressed by an advanced decoding algorithm, and the channel capacity can still be improved by the method of speeding up the symbol transmission rate.

The expression of the transmitted signal s(t) after waveform encoding may be as follows:

$s (t) = x (t) * h (t) = \sum_{n}^{N} \sum_{k}^{K} a_{k, n} h (t - k T_{Δ}) e^{j 2 π {tnf}_{Δ}}$

where x(t) is a transmitted signal before waveform encoding, h(t) is a waveform encoding function, N is a related parameter of an overlapped frequency domain, K is a related parameter of an overlapped time domain, and T_Δ=τT, τ∈(0,1), where T is a waveform sending period, and τ is an overlapped time domain coefficient. Alternatively, in OVXDM,

$τ = \frac{1}{K} .$

Therefore,

$T_{Δ} = \frac{T}{K} . f_{Δ} = \frac{ζ}{T}, ζ \in (0,, 1),$

where ζ is an overlapped frequency domain coefficient. Alternatively, in OVXDM,

$ζ = \frac{1}{N} .$

Therefor,

$f_{Δ} = \frac{1}{N T} .$

In the OVTDM technology, there is a serial cascaded OVTDM implementation solution, as shown in FIG. 2. In the serial cascaded OVTDM, an overlapped time domain is implemented in two stages, the first stage is a pure OVTDM without mutual shift, which is referred to as P-OVTDM (Pure-OVTDM), and the second stage is a shifted OVTDM, which is referred to as S-OVTDM (Shifted-OVTDM). A related parameter of the overlapped time domain in the first stage is K₁, and a related parameter of the overlapped time domain in the second stage is K₂, that is, K in the formula. A special form of P-OVTDM is conventional modulation technologies such as x-phase shift keying (xPSK) and x-quadrature amplitude modulation (xQAM) technologies used in NR.

The generation of ISI is described below by taking FIG. 3 as an example. When T_Δ=0.8, that is, an overlapped time domain waveform coefficient τ=0.8, at a moment of each sampling point, an amplitude of a pulse waveform of a waveform encoded signal carrying information about another sampling point is not zero. Therefore, the ISI is generated. In FIG. 3, a horizontal coordinate is time and a vertical coordinate is waveform amplitude.

It is assumed that a multipath channel impulse response function is h_CH(t), the signal after passing through the channel may be equivalently represented as:

$s^{'} (t) = x (t) * h (t) * h_{C H} (t) \overset{△}{=} \sum_{\tilde{n}}^{\tilde{N}} \sum_{\tilde{k}}^{\tilde{K}} a_{\tilde{n}, \tilde{k}} h (t - T_{Δ}^{\tilde{k}}) e^{j 2 π {tf}_{Δ}^{\tilde{n}}}$

where T_Δ^{{tilde over (k)}}≤kT_Δ, f_Δ^ñ≤nf_Δ,N≤Ñ, K≤{tilde over (K)}.

Due to an overlapping effect of waveform coding and a multipath channel, a quantity of equivalent multipaths increases, and a symbol spacing and a subcarrier spacing are “closer”, resulting in the increase of an overlapping degree of the equivalent time-frequency domain. The increase of the overlapping degree of the time-frequency domain is reflected as more serious ISI and ICI at a receive end, which poses a challenge to the design of the receiver. The complexity of maximum likelihood (Maximum Likelihood, ML) type receivers with the best theoretical performance increases with a waveform overlapping degree. When {K, N} is relatively large, the hardware cannot be implemented in an actual project. Moreover, fast algorithms with fixed decoding complexity cannot do much for signals with a relatively high overlapping degree.

That is, ISI/ICI generated by a radio signal through a complex channel is superimposed with ISI/ICI introduced by a transmitter through waveform coding, resulting in equivalent and more serious ISI/ICI. The receiver is limited by hardware conditions, and the implemented complexity of the decoding algorithm is limited. When the overlapping degree exceeds a certain threshold, the required decoding complexity greatly increases, exceeding the ability of the decoding algorithm, resulting in inability to decode.

An information sending method, an information receiving method, and a communication device provided in the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings by using specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

First, it should be noted that, the communication device involved in the embodiments of this application may be a network-side device or may be a terminal device. For example, a transmit end is a network-side device and a receive end is a terminal device, or both the transmit end and the receive end are the terminal devices.

In addition, the transmit end may dynamically adjust the signal parameter related to generation and/or sending of the encoded information according to feedback information from the receive end, to control the decoding complexity of the receive end, thereby ensuring that the decoding is accurately and efficiently performed.

The following describes the information sending method and the information receiving method in this application by using examples.

Manner 1-1: A transmit end sends first information to a receive end, where the first information includes a signal parameter. The receive end feeds back second information to the transmit end, where the second information includes a bit error rate. The transmit end adjusts the signal parameter according to the bit error rate and sends third information to the receive end, where the third information includes an adjusted signal parameter.

Manner 1-2: A transmit end sends first information to a receive end, where the first information includes a signal parameter. The receive end feeds back second information to the transmit end, where the second information includes a channel measurement parameter.

The receive end feeds back second information to the transmit end according to a channel measurement parameter and a capability of a user, where the second information includes indication information of a suggested signal parameter.

Manner 2-1: A transmit end sends first information to a receive end, where the first information includes a signal parameter. The receive end determines whether the signal parameter is appropriate according to a channel measurement parameter, and feeds back second information to the transmit end based on a determining result, where the second information includes indication information (for example, 1-bit used for indicating increasing or decreasing of a signal parameter) of a suggested signal parameter.

Although information content sent in the foregoing manners is different, interaction is performed by using the first information, the second information, and the third information, and a basic common process is shown in FIG. 11

The following describes the information sending method and the information receiving method in this application with reference specific application scenarios.

Embodiment 1 of this Application

In this embodiment, a network-side device sends first information to a terminal device, where the first information may be sent in a PDCCH (for example, the first information is explicitly indicated in DCI, or the first information is implicitly indicated in a manner of PDCCH scrambling). The terminal device always uses the first information carried in the DCI that is successfully parsed last time.

Second information may be sent by using one or more of a PUSCH, a PUCCH, and a PUFCH.

For example, when the second information is the indication information of the suggested signal parameter, the second information may be indicated in a scheduling request (scheduling request, SR) by using relatively few bits.

When the second information is a series of signal measurement parameters, the second information may be indicated in the form of a media access control control element (MAC CE) in a buffer state report (buffer state report, BSR) or may be sent in the form of data in the PUSCH.

If the PUFCH is defined, the second information may also be sent in the PUFCH.

Third information may be indicated in a PDCCH (for example, the third information is explicitly indicated in DCI, or the third information is implicitly indicated in a manner of PDCCH scrambling).

Implementation 2 of this Application

In this embodiment, a network-side device sends first information to a terminal device, where the first information may be sent in the form of a broadcast message (for example, the first information is explicitly indicated in an MIB in a PBCH, or the first information is implicitly indicated in a PBCH-DMRS, or the first information is implicitly indicated in the form of PBCH scrambling, or the first information is indicated in a SIB message in a PDSCH).

Second information may be sent by using one or more of a PUSCH, a PUCCH, and a PUFCH.

If the PUFCH is defined, the second information may also be sent in the PUFCH.

Third information is indicated by a Dedicated-RRC message in a PDSCH, and a signal parameter indicated in the broadcast message is refreshed.

As shown in FIG. 12, the advantage of Embodiment 2 compared with Embodiment 1 is that a current signal parameter may be notified to all UEs within coverage by using a broadcast message, and if a UE finds that the signal parameter is not suitable, the UE feeds back the signal parameter to the transmit end separately, and the transmit end may separately adjust the signal parameter for the UE and perform a notification by using dedicated-RRC, which avoids setting aside a fixed field in the PDCCH and saves overheads.

Implementation 3 of this Application

In this embodiment, first information may be indicated in the form of a combination of a broadcast message+Dedicated RRC or a combination of a broadcast message+DCI. The broadcast message may include: an MIB in a PBCH, a PBCH-DMRS, PBCH scrambling, or a SIB message in the PDSCH. Optionally, the signal parameter and index value correspondence table is defined by a protocol. A signal parameter and index value correspondence table used by a current cell is notified to a UE by using the broadcast message, and an index value is indicated by the RRC message or the DCI, so that the UE obtains a group of specific signal parameters. Different cells may use different correspondence tables, and a correspondence table used by the same cell may be dynamically changed, which is indicated by the broadcast message.

Second information may be sent by using one or more of a PUSCH, a PUCCH, and a PUFCH.

If the PUFCH is defined, the second information may also be sent in the PUFCH.

Third information may indicate the index value by using a Dedicated-RRC message in a PDSCH, and a signal parameter indicated in the first information is refreshed.

As shown in FIG. 13, the advantage of Embodiment 3 compared with Embodiment 2 is that the transmit end may notify all UEs within coverage of a current signal parameter and index value correspondence table by using a broadcast message and simultaneously configure the UEs by using dedicated messages, which saves overheads and provides considerable flexibility. In addition, the UE may directly indicate an index value of a suggested signal parameter by feeding back few bits, which provides a certain degree of autonomy and saves feedback overheads.

Embodiment 4 of this Application (which is Equivalent to Open Loop Link Adaptation (OLLA))

In this embodiment, first information may be sent in the form of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2.

Second information does not need to be sent. A transmit end counts an ACK message indicating that a receive end successfully parses encoded information, and if a proportion or a quantity of NACK messages within a preset time period or within a preset quantity of subframes or slots is greater than a preset threshold, the transmit end adjusts a signal parameter.

Third information may be indicated in a PDCCH (for example, the third information is explicitly indicated in DCI, or the third information is implicitly indicated in a manner of PDCCH scrambling).

Embodiment 5 of this Application

In this embodiment, a network-side device first generates a corresponding pilot signal according to a default signal parameter setting stipulated in a protocol without sending first information, for example, a transmit end sends a pilot signal of which an overlapping quantity is 1.

A UE sends second information to the network-side device according to a channel measurement result (for example, a measurement result for the pilot signal), where the second information includes a suggested signal parameter.

The network-side device sends third information, where the third information includes an adjusted signal parameter, and the third information may be indicated in a PDCCH (for example, the third information is explicitly indicated in DCI, or the third information is implicitly indicated in a manner of PDCCH scrambling).

There is no first information in this embodiment.

The foregoing embodiments are not only applicable to the communication between the network device and the terminal device, but also to the communication between the terminal devices. During application between the terminals, a PDSCH/PUSCH may be changed to a PSSCH, a PDCCH/PUCCH may be changed to a PSCCH, a PBCH may be changed to a physical broadcast shared channel (PBSCH), and a PUFCH may be changed to a PSFCH.

In the embodiments of this application, a signal parameter of a transmit end is dynamically adjusted by designing a measurement-feedback-adjustment interaction mechanism between the transmit end and a receive end. It resolves the problem that a receiver cannot perform decoding correctly under an extreme condition when an equivalent overlapped time/frequency coefficient caused by waveform encoding and a multipath channel at the transmit end is too large. In addition, through the mechanism, the decoding complexity at the receiver side can be artificially controlled through the coordination between the transmit end and the receive end, thereby providing another way to implement the power control of the terminal.

It should be noted that, the information sending method provided in the embodiments of this application may be performed by an information sending apparatus or a control module configured to perform the information sending method in the information sending apparatus.
