The present disclosure generally relates to communication technology field, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for determining position of a frequency domain of direct current component, storage medium, terminal, and base station.
The Fifth-Generation mobile communications (5G) system adopts the new radio (New Radio, NR) technology with large bandwidth and high rate, and introduces a new concept “Band Width Part (BWP)”, allowing a NR UE uses a narrowband BWP to access the 5G system to transmit service with the broadband BWP.
For a serving cell, a base station may configure a plurality of BWPs (such as 4 BWPs) for a UE, but only one BWP at most in Release 15 is activated, that is, the UE can only receive Downlink Control Information (DCI) of the base station by the active BWP, and send and receive data by the active BWP.
However, in the conventional technology, when a base station requests a UE to report a position of a frequency domain of an uplink DC component, if an UL and a SUL is configured in the base station in a serving cell, it is difficult for the base station to determine whether the position of the frequency domain of the DC component is in the UL or the SUL after receiving the position of the frequency domain of the DC component, which is liable to cause a DC component reception error.
Embodiments in the present disclosure provide a method and device for determining a position of a frequency domain of a direct current (DC) component, a storage medium, a terminal and a base station, so that a base station may determine whether the position of the frequency domain of the DC component is located in uplink carrier of an UL or uplink carrier of a SUL, thereby improving an accuracy of receiving a position of a frequency domain of a DC component.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for determining a position of a frequency domain of a Direct Current (DC) component is provided, including: receiving a transmission resource for an uplink transmission; determining an uplink signaling of the DC component, wherein the uplink signaling includes a BWP ID and a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component; and reporting the uplink signaling in the transmission resource for enabling a base station to determine whether the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is located in uplink carrier of an UL or uplink carrier of a SUL based on the uplink signaling and a carrier determination information.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a device for determining a position of the frequency domain of a Direct Current (DC) component is provided, includes: a circuitry for receiving transmission resource, adapted to receive a transmission resource for an uplink transmission; a circuitry for determining uplink signaling, adapted to determine an uplink signaling of the DC component, wherein the uplink signaling includes a BWP ID and a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component; and a circuitry for reporting uplink signaling, adapted to report the uplink signaling in the transmission resource for enabling a base station to determine whether the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is located in uplink carrier of an UL or uplink carrier of a SUL based on the uplink signaling and a carrier determination information.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a non-transitory storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising computer instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to: receiving a transmission resource for an uplink transmission; determining an uplink signaling of the DC component, wherein the uplink signaling includes a BWP ID and a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component; and reporting the uplink signaling in the transmission resource for enabling a base station to determine whether the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is located in uplink carrier of an UL or uplink carrier of a SUL based on the uplink signaling and a carrier determination information.
In a 5G system, a maximum bandwidth of a cell can reach 400 MHz, which far exceeds a maximum cell bandwidth of 20 MHz specified in the Long Term Evaluation (LTE) technology. If all NR UEs need to access a 400 MHz bandwidth when accessing a network, it will greatly increase cost and power consumption of UEs. Therefore, a new concept “Band Width Part (BWP)” is introduced in the 5G system, allowing a NR UE to use a narrowband BWP to access the 5G system to transmit services with the broadband BWP.
For one serving cell, a base station may configure a plurality of BWPs (for example, 4 BWPs) for a UE. Take a cell including 4 BWPs as an example. The 4 BWPs may include a BWP0, a BWP1, a BWP2 and a BWP3. Among them, an initial BWP is the BWP0, a UE in an idle state can reside on the BWP0, and a base station sends a System Information (SI), a paging message, etc. on the BWP0. The system message includes a Master Information Block (MIB for short), a System Information Block 1 (SIB1), a System Information Block 2 (SIB2), and the like. Due to differences in the importance of system messages, some need to be broadcast periodically (for example, MIB and SIB1), and some System Information Block (SIB) can be transmitted by the NR base station in different transmission modes depending on actual load conditions, can be broadcast periodically or can be transmitted non-periodically based on a request of a UE.
A MIB is transmitted in an initial BWP (for example, BWP0) by a base station, and configuration information of public search space can be obtained by a UE according to configuration information in the MIB. DCI related to a system message can be detected by the UE by the public search space, and the DCI is scrambled by a System Information-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (SI-RNTI for short). After the DCI scrambled by the SI-RNTI is decoded by the UE, the UE can receive a related system message by a specified Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH). For example, a SIB1, a SIB2 and the like are all transmitted by a PDSCH.
Further, a UE can access the cell by an initial BWP (that is, BWP0), or access the cell by a handover. Assume that the cell is configured with 4 BWPs (for example, a BWP0, a BWP1, a BWP2, and a BWP3) for the UE. Configuration information of the above four BWPs can be notified to the UE by a RRC signaling by a base station, for example, a bandwidth, a position of a frequency domain, etc. Moreover, a SUL is configured for the cell by the base station, and the SUL can contain the same or different numbers of BWPs.
However, at most one BWP in Release 15 is an activated BWP, that is, a UE can only receive a Downlink Control Information (DCI) of a base station by the activated BWP, and send and receive data by the activated BWP.

As shown in
For some UEs, a base station can schedule the UE for uplink transmission in an UL or a SUL respectively by a dynamic signaling, and there is an Information Element in the dynamic signaling to indicate whether or not to use a SUL for the uplink transmission. For other UEs, a base station can configure the UE to transmit in which uplink carrier by Radio Resource Control (RRC).
A base station needs to know specific positions of frequency domains of DC components on different BWPs of a UE in a serving cell, so as to use the received DC components for scheduling resource or to determine a time delay for a UE to switch a BWP.
Inventors of the present disclosure has discovered by research that when a UE is requested by a base station to report a position of a frequency domain of an uplink DC component, if an UL and a SUL are configured by the base station in a serving cell, an existing uplink signaling format does not support that the UE explicitly indicates a DC component of each BWP in the UL and the SUL, the base station cannot distinguish from an uplink signaling sent by the UE whether the position of the frequency domain of a DC component reported by the UE is located in the UL or the SUL, which may easily lead to errors in a reception of a DC component.
In some embodiment of the present disclosure, a transmission resource for an uplink transmission is received; an uplink signaling of a DC component is determined, wherein the uplink signaling includes a BWP Identity (ID) and a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component; and the uplink signaling is reported in the transmission resource for enabling a base station to determine whether the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is located in uplink carrier of an UL or uplink carrier of a SUL based on the uplink signaling and a carrier determination information. With the above method, by setting the carrier determination information, the base station can determine whether the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is located in uplink carrier of the UL or uplink carrier of the SUL based on the uplink signaling and the carrier determination information. In conventional technology, a base station cannot distinguish from an uplink signaling sent by a UE whether a position of a frequency domain of a DC component reported by the UE is in an UL or a SUL, which is liable to lead to an error in determining a DC component. Compared with the conventional technology, the present disclosure enables a base station to determine whether a position of a frequency domain of the first DC component is located in uplink carrier of an UL or uplink carrier of a SUL, thereby improving an accuracy of determining a position of a frequency domain of a DC component.
It should be noted that a position of a frequency domain of a DC component of each BWP is reported by a UE based on each serving cell and a BWP of each serving cell, that is, a position of a frequency domain of a DC component of an UL or a SUL reported by an uplink signaling is a position in a frequency domain where a DC component of each BWP of an UL or a SUL is located in. In an uplink signaling, a BWP ID is used to indicate which BWP a position of a frequency domain of a reported DC component belongs to. In addition, in some embodiments, an UL and a SUL refer to two uplink carriers configured in a same serving cell. In practice, each serving cell can be configured with none, one, or two uplink carriers (i.e., an UL and a SUL). Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a scenario where two uplink carriers are configured for one serving cell.
In order to clarify the object, characteristic and advantages of embodiments of the present disclosure, the embodiments of present disclosure will be described clearly in detail in conjunction with accompanying drawings.

In S21, receiving a transmission resource for an uplink transmission.
In S22, determining an uplink signaling of the DC component, wherein the uplink signaling at least includes a BWP ID and a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component.
In S23, reporting the uplink signaling in the transmission resource for enabling a base station to determine whether the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is located in uplink carrier of an UL or uplink carrier of a SUL based on a carrier determination information and the uplink signaling.
In the specific implementation of S21, a UE receives a transmission resource for an uplink transmission from a base station, and then the UE reports an uplink signaling in subsequent process.
Specifically, in a specific example of the present disclosure, a base station may schedule which uplink carrier a UE performs an uplink transmission on by a dynamic signaling, and a dynamic signaling contains an Information Element to indicate whether a SUL can be used for an uplink transmission.
In another specific example of embodiments of the present disclosure, it may be configured by a base station which uplink carrier a UE performs an uplink transmission on by a Radio Resource Control (RRC).
It can be seen from above that it can be determined whether a transmission resource is located in an UL or a SUL, so a base station can accurately obtain an uplink signaling reported by a UE using a transmission resource.
In a specific implementation of S22, a UE determines an uplink signaling of a DC component.
Specifically, the uplink signaling is configured to indicate a determination related information of a position of a frequency domain of a DC component for enabling a base station to receive the position of the frequency domain of the DC component reported by the UE.
Specifically, the uplink signaling includes a BWP ID, a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component, and usually also includes an offset indication information.
Wherein, the BWP ID may be configured to indicate a sequence number or an identifier of a bandwidth part, the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is configured to enable a base station to determine a position of a frequency domain of a DC component during an uplink transmission of a UE, and the offset indication information is configured to indicate whether there is an offset, and in some embodiment, the offset is 7.5 kHz.
In a specific implementation of S23, a UE reports an uplink signaling in a transmission resource for enabling a base station to determine whether a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component is located in uplink carrier of an UL or uplink carrier of a SUL based on the uplink signaling and a carrier determination information.
Wherein, the transmission resource may be located in an uplink carrier which is currently allowed to transmit data in a PUSCH. A UE can support a carrier aggregation. In this situation, a UE is configured with a plurality of serving cells, and the UE needs to report a position of a frequency domain (and offset) of a DC component in each BWP in each cell based on different serving cells. Among the plurality of serving cells, one is a primary cell, and the UE transmits an uplink signaling in an UL or a SUL of this cell; the other serving cells are auxiliary cells, and the uplink signaling (RRC signaling) usually cannot be reported by the auxiliary cells to a base station. A carrier determination information may be an uplink carrier currently allowed for a data transmission in a PUSCH. For a primary cell, a base station can know that a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component of the primary cell (each BWP) is located in an uplink carrier (an uplink carrier of a primary cell) carrying the uplink signaling based on a received uplink signaling, that is, a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component of the primary cell is located in an uplink carrier currently allowed to transmit data in a PUSCH; for an auxiliary cell, a base station can know a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component of the auxiliary cell (each BWP) is located in an uplink carrier (an uplink carrier of an auxiliary cell) currently allowed for data transmission in a PUSCH.
In a conventional technology, it is difficult for a base station to determine whether a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component is located in uplink carrier of an UL or uplink carrier of a SUL, which is liable to lead to a problem of failure in acquiring. In an embodiment of the present invention, by determining a carrier determination information, a base station can determine whether a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component is located in uplink carrier of an UL or uplink carrier of a SUL based on an uplink signaling and the carrier determination information.
Further, in a specific application in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a carrier determination information may include that a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component is located in an UL. That is, by a preset setting, the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is fixed at a position of a frequency domain of a DC component on a BWP of an uplink carrier of a UE, thereby avoiding a wrong determination of a position of a frequency domain of a DC component by the base station.
Specifically, a carrier determination information may be an explicit indication information or an implicit indication information.
In a first specific implementation of the present disclosure, a carrier determination information may include a first Information Element, and the first Information Element is included in an uplink signaling, that is, when a base station receives the uplink signaling, the first Information Element can be obtained by the base station.
In some embodiment, the first Information Element may be one bit. By one bit, it means that a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component is located in an UL, that is, a position of a frequency domain of a DC of a UE in a BWP of an uplink carrier is in the UL. When the value of the bit is set to 0, it means that the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is located in a SUL. In a specific implementation, a setting may also be configured on the opposite, that is, the value of the bit of the first Information Element being 0 means that the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is located in a SUL.
In the LTE, a UE may only report one DC component, in a 5G technology, there may be a case that two DC components are reported. It can be understood that in the conventional 5G technology, a UE does not inform a base station whether a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component is located in uplink carrier of an UL or uplink carrier of a SUL, when positions of frequency domains of two DC components are reported, the base station is more liable to lead to an error in receiving the positions of the frequency domains of the two DC components.
In a second specific implementation of the present disclosure, an uplink signaling further includes a position of a frequency domain of a second DC component. Reporting the uplink signaling in a transmission resource, so that a base station determines whether a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component is located in uplink carrier of an UL or uplink carrier of a SUL based on the uplink signaling and a carrier determination information may include: reporting the uplink signaling in the transmission resource for enabling the base station to determine that the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is located in an uplink carrier indicated by a first Information Element and the position of the frequency domain of the second DC component is located in an uplink carrier other than the uplink carrier indicated by the first Information Element.
Specifically, the carrier determination information includes the first Information Element. Assuming that the first Information Element indicates an UL, a UE by the first Information Element indicates an uplink carrier corresponding to the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is an UL and an uplink carrier corresponding to the position of the frequency domain of the second DC component is a SUL.
In a third specific implementation of the present disclosure, a carrier determination information further includes a second Information Element, the second Information Element is included in an uplink signaling, and the uplink signaling further includes a position of a frequency domain of a second DC component. Reporting the uplink signaling in a transmission resource for enabling a base station to determine whether a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component is located in uplink carrier of an UL or uplink carrier of a SUL based on the uplink signaling and the carrier determination information includes: reporting the uplink signaling in the transmission resource for determine the base station to determine that the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is located in an uplink carrier indicated by a first Information Element and the position of the frequency domain of the second DC component is located in an uplink carrier indicated by the second Information Element. Wherein, the second Information Element is configured to indicate whether the position of the frequency domain of the second DC component is located in the UL or the SUL.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting a first Information Element, or setting a first Information Element and a second Information Element, it can be explicitly indicated that which carrier of an UL and a SUL two positions of frequency domains are located in respectively, so that when a UE reports the positions of frequency domains of two DC components, the two positions of frequency domains can still be correctly received by a base station.
In a fourth specific implementation of the present disclosure, an uplink signaling further includes a position of a frequency domain of a second DC component, a carrier determination information includes a mapping relationship between a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component and a predefined uplink carrier. Reporting the uplink signaling in a transmission resource for enabling a base station to determine whether the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is located in uplink carrier of an UL or uplink carrier of a SUL based on the uplink signaling and the carrier determination information includes: reporting the uplink signaling in the transmission resource for enabling the base station to determine that the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is located in the predefined uplink carrier and the position of the frequency domain of the second DC component is located in an uplink carrier other than the predefined uplink carrier.
Specifically, the carrier determination information includes a mapping relationship between the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component and the predefined uplink carrier, which means that an UL or a SUL for a first DC component can be specified in advance. Taking the carrier determination information that the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is mapped to the UL as an example, after the transmission resource reports the uplink signaling, the base station can determine the frequency of the first DC component is in the UL.
Specifically, taking the carrier determination information that the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is mapped to an UL as an example, when there are two DC components, the base station can determine that the position of the frequency domain of the second DC component is located in a SUL.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the carrier determination information includes a mapping relationship between a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component and a predefined uplink carrier. With an implicit indication, that is, which one of an UL and a SUL is pre-defined to be used for a first DC component, so that when a UE reports a position of a frequency domain of one DC component or positions of frequency domains of two DC components, the one or two positions of frequency domains can be correctly received by the base station.

Reporting the uplink signaling in a transmission resource for enabling a base station to determine that whether the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is located in uplink carrier of an UL or uplink carrier of a SUL based on the uplink signaling and the carrier determination information includes: reporting the uplink signaling in the transmission resource for enabling the base station to determine that the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is located in the uplink carrier currently allowed to transmit data in the PUSCH and the position of the frequency domain of the second DC component is located in an uplink carrier other than the uplink carrier currently allowed to transmit data in the PUSCH.
Specifically, the carrier determination information includes a mapping relationship between the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component and the uplink carrier configured with the PUSCH, which means that it can be pre-defined that the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is located in the uplink carrier configured with a PUSCH (an uplink carrier which is currently allowed for an uplink transmission in a PUSCH), or it can be pre-defined that the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is not located in the uplink carrier configured with the PUSCH, that is, the position of the frequency domain of the second DC component is located in the uplink carrier configured with the PUSCH.
Assuming that a carrier determination information is an uplink carrier configured with a PUSCH, such as an UL, after a transmission resource reports an uplink signaling, the base station may determine that a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component is in the UL.
Specifically, taking the carrier determination information being an UL configured with the PUSCH as an example, when there are two DC components, a base station can determine that the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is located in an UL configured with the PUSCH, and that the position of the frequency domain of the second DC component is located in a SUL.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a carrier determination information includes a mapping relationship between a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component and an uplink carrier configured with a PUSCH. With an implicit indication, that is, the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is pre-defined in an uplink carrier configured with the PUSCH or in an uplink carrier other than the uplink carrier configured with the PUSCH. When a UE reports a position of a frequency domain of one DC component or positions of frequency domains of two DC components, the one or two positions of frequency domains can be correctly received by the base station.
In a sixth specific implementation of the present disclosure, an uplink signaling further includes a position of a frequency domain of a second DC component, a carrier determination information includes a mapping relationship between a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component and an uplink carrier configured with a PUCCH. Reporting the uplink signaling in a transmission resource for enabling a base station to determine that whether the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is located in uplink carrier of an UL or uplink carrier of a SUL based on the uplink signaling and the carrier determination information includes: reporting the uplink signaling in the transmission resource for enabling a base station to determine that the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is located in an uplink carrier same as the uplink carrier configured with the PUCCH and the position of the frequency domain of the second DC component is located in an uplink carrier other than the uplink carrier configured with the PUCCH.
Specifically, the carrier determination information includes a mapping relationship between the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component and the uplink carrier configured with the PUCCH, which means that it can be pre-defined that a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component is located in an uplink carrier configured with the PUCCH, or it can be pre-defined that a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component is not located in an uplink carrier configured with the PUCCH.
Assuming that a carrier determination information is that a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component is located in an uplink carrier configured with a PUCCH, such as an UL, after a transmission resource reports an uplink signaling, the base station may determine that a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component is in the UL.

With an implicit indication, that is, the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is pre-defined in an uplink carrier same as an uplink carrier configured with the PUCCH, or the position of the frequency domain of the first DC component is pre-defined in an uplink carrier other than the uplink carrier configured with the PUCCH.

Compared with the conventional technology, the disclosure enable a base station to determine which one uplink carrier between an UL and a SUL a position of a frequency domain of a first DC component is located in, thereby, improving accuracy of receiving a position of a frequency domain of a DC component.
