With the continuous development of wireless communication, the requirements for communication capabilities are getting higher and higher. For future application scenarios such as AR/VR, Internet of Vehicles and Internet of Things, ultra-high speed, ultra-low delay and ultra-large bandwidth communication have become the norm. Based on the characteristics of OAM communication, OAM communication may be applied to mobile communication with ultra-high speed, ultra-low delay and ultra-large bandwidth. In the mobile communication system, the transmission of some target signals or control signaling needs high reliability, which requires that these signals or signaling need high transmission quality. In OAM communication, how to transmit the target signal or control signaling in a high reliability channel is an urgent problem.
Therefore, the present disclosure provides a method and apparatus of OAM modes indication, which can ensure the reliability of target signal or control signaling transmission.
The method and apparatus of OAM modes indication provided in the present disclosure are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
At step 101, receiving first indication information reported by a second device.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second device may be a terminal communicating with the first device or a relay device communicating with the first device, and the specific embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in an OAM communication system, OAM beams are orthogonal to each other. In theory, there are infinite kinds of OAM modes, and each OAM mode can transmit signals. After receiving the first indication information, the first device will select an OAM mode as a target OAM mode for transmitting a target signal or control signaling according to the first indication information.
What needs to be explained here is what kind of OAM mode the target OAM mode is selected according to the first indication information, which may be an OAM mode with the best transmission quality among all OAM modes, an OAM mode with the second best transmission quality, or other available OAM modes. Because the target signal and control signaling have high or extremely high requirements on the reliability of the transmission channel, generally, when selecting the target OAM mode, the OAM mode with the best transmission quality among the available OAM modes is selected first. Specific embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this, as long as it is not occupied by other signals and can transmit target signals or control signaling.
In the OAM communication system, the transmission quality of each OAM mode is different. The transmission quality of OAM mode can be obtained by measuring a measurement signal in OAM mode. The higher the measurement value, the higher the transmission quality of OAM mode.
In addition, it should be noted that in the OAM communication system, a corresponding antenna port may further be set for an OAM mode, and a transmission quality of the OAM mode may further be obtained by measuring a measurement value of the antenna port corresponding to the OAM mode, and the measurement value of the antenna port corresponding to the OAM mode corresponds to the transmission quality of OAM mode.
The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this in terms of the specific means by which the transmission quality of the different OAM modes is obtained.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first indication information may be any one of the following: information of the first OAM mode; measurement values of respective OAM modes; information of an antenna port corresponding to the first OAM mode; and measurement values of respective antenna ports corresponding to the respective OAM modes; and where the first OAM mode is an OAM mode with a best transmission quality among available OAM modes determined by the second device according to the measurement values of the respective OAM modes.
When reporting the indication information, the second device may use but is not limited to the following methods.
When the second device measures a transmission signal in each OAM mode and obtains a measurement value of each OAM mode, it may directly report the obtained measurement value of each OAM mode to the first device. Or, the measurement value of each OAM mode can be processed locally in the second device, and an OAM mode with the highest available OAM mode measurement value is selected as the first OAM mode, the measurement value of the first OAM mode is the highest, which is an OAM mode with the best transmission quality among the available OAM modes, and the selected first OAM mode is reported to the first device.
When each OAM mode is configured with a corresponding antenna port, the second device may further measure a transmission signal of the antenna port corresponding to each OAM mode to obtain a measurement value of the antenna port corresponding to each OAM mode. After obtaining the measurement value of the antenna port corresponding to each OAM mode, the second device can directly report the measurement value of the antenna port corresponding to each OAM mode to the first device. The measurement value of the antenna port corresponding to the OAM mode may also be processed locally in the second device, and an antenna port with the highest measurement value among the available OAM modes is selected. Because there is a mapping relationship between the antenna port and the OAM mode, a measurement value of the antenna port is the highest, indicating that the transmission quality of the selected antenna port is the best among the available antenna ports, that is, the transmission quality of the OAM mode corresponding to the selected antenna port is the best. The second device takes the OAM mode corresponding to the selected antenna port with the highest measurement value as the first OAM mode, and when reporting, the second device may directly report the first OAM mode to the first device, or report information of the antenna port corresponding to the first OAM mode to the first device, which is not limited by the specific embodiment of the present disclosure.
At step 102, selecting an OAM mode as a target OAM mode for transmitting a target signal or control signaling according to the first indication information.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when an OAM mode is selected as the target OAM mode for transmitting the target signal or control signaling according to the first indication information, the OAM mode with the best transmission quality among the available OAM modes is preferentially selected. The specific implementation can be achieved through, but is not limited to, the following methods.
In response to the first indication information being the information of the first OAM mode, since the first OAM mode is an OAM mode corresponding to a maximum measurement value among available OAM modes selected by the second device locally from the measurement values of the respective OAM modes or the measurement values of respective antenna ports corresponding to the respective OAM modes, the first device may directly use the first OAM mode corresponding to the information of the first OAM mode as the target OAM mode for transmitting the target signal or control signaling when receiving the information of the first OAM mode, i.e., the first OAM mode is taken as the OAM mode with the best transmission quality among the available OAM modes for transmitting the target signal or control signaling.
In response to the first indication information being the measurement values of the respective OAM modes, the OAM mode corresponding to a maximum measurement value among available OAM modes is selected as the target OAM mode for transmitting the target signal or control signaling, i.e., the OAM mode corresponding to the maximum measurement value among the available OAM modes is taken as the OAM mode with the best transmission quality among the available OAM modes for transmitting the target signal or control signaling.
In response to the first indication information being the information of the antenna port corresponding to the first OAM mode, receiving the information of the antenna port indicates that the OAM mode is mapped to a corresponding antenna port, and there is a mapping relationship between the antenna port and the OAM mode. Knowing the information of the antenna port, the corresponding first OAM mode may be obtained according to the information of the antenna port and the mapping relationship between the antenna port and the OAM mode. The first OAM mode is taken as the target OAM mode for transmitting the target signal or control signaling, i.e., the first OAM mode is taken as the OAM mode with the best transmission quality among the available OAM modes for transmitting the target signal or control signaling.
In response to the first indication information being the measurement values of respective antenna ports corresponding to the respective OAM modes, selecting an antenna port with a maximum measurement value among the antenna ports corresponding to the available OAM modes. An OAM mode corresponding to the selected antenna port is determined according to the selected antenna port and a mapping relationship between the antenna port and the OAM mode, and the OAM mode corresponding to the selected antenna port is taken as the target OAM mode for transmitting the target signal or control signaling, i.e., the OAM mode corresponding to the antenna port with the maximum measurement value among the available OAM mode is taken as the OAM mode with the best transmission quality among the available OAM modes for transmitting the target signal or control signaling.

In theory, there are infinite kinds of OAM modes, and each OAM mode can transmit signals, but the transmission quality of each OAM mode is different. In order to ensure the reliability of target signal or control signaling transmission, it is necessary to use the OAM mode with the best transmission quality among the available OAM modes to transmit the target signal. The specific acquisition method of the transmission quality of OAM mode may be carried out by but not limited to measuring the measurement signal in each OAM mode, and a measurement value of the transmission quality of OAM mode in each OAM mode may be obtained by measurement, which may be measured based on different signals, and the specific embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this. After measuring the signals in each OAM mode, the transmission quality of different OAM modes may be determined based on the measurement values. The higher the measurement value, the higher the transmission quality of OAM mode.
It should be noted that in the OAM communication system, a corresponding antenna port may further be set for an OAM mode, and a transmission quality of the OAM mode may further be obtained by measuring a measurement value of the antenna port corresponding to the OAM mode, and the measurement value of the antenna port corresponding to the OAM mode corresponds to the transmission quality of OAM mode.

The measurement value of the antenna port corresponding to the OAM mode may also be processed locally in the second device, and an antenna port with the highest measurement value among the available OAM modes is selected. Because there is a mapping relationship between the antenna port and the OAM mode, a measurement value of the antenna port is the highest, indicating that the transmission quality of the selected antenna port is the best among the available antenna ports, that is, the transmission quality of the OAM mode corresponding to the selected antenna port is the best. The second device takes the OAM mode corresponding to the selected antenna port with the highest measurement value as the first OAM mode, and when reporting, the second device may directly report the first OAM mode to the first device, or report information of the antenna port corresponding to the first OAM mode to the first device, which is not limited by the specific embodiment of the present disclosure.

At step 301, determining the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode.
The transmission of some target signals or signaling in the mobile communication system needs high reliability, which requires that these signals or signaling need to be transmitted in some channels with high transmission quality. The target signal or control signaling may include, but is not limited to, a PT-RS, RRC signaling, an MAC CE, physical layer control information, and other signals or control signaling. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is necessary to determine which target signals or control signaling are transmitted in the determined target OAM mode. When determining the target signal or control signaling, it may be realized in the following method, but not limited to: the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode may be determined by the first device, or the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode may be determined according to a predetermined protocol agreement.
To sum up, according to the method of OAM modes indication provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first device selects an OAM mode as the target OAM mode for transmitting the target signal or control signaling according to the first indication information reported by the second device, and transmits the target signal or control signaling on the target OAM mode, thus ensuring the reliability of the target signal or control signaling. In addition, when determining the target signal or control signaling to be transmitted in the target OAM mode, it may be determined based on the protocol or by the first device, which is flexible in implementation and ensures that the target signal or control signaling may be transmitted in the optimal OAM mode among the available OAM modes.
At step 401, determining the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, for the description of determining the target signal or control signaling carried by the target mode, please refer to the description of step 301 in
At step 402, the first device instructs the second device to receive a corresponding target signal or control signaling on the target OAM mode.
When instructing the second device to receive the corresponding target signal or control signaling on the target OAM mode, the following method may be adopted, but not limited to, including: sending second indication information to the second device, to instruct the second device to receive the corresponding target signal or control signaling on the target OAM mode, where the second indication information includes information of the target OAM mode.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the first device instructs the second device to receive the corresponding target signal or control signaling on the target OAM mode, it may further instruct the second device to receive the corresponding target signal or control signaling on the target OAM mode by sending second indication information to the second device. Specifically, the method further includes: sending, by the first device, the second indication information to the second device, to instruct the second device to receive the corresponding target signal or control signaling on the target OAM mode. When the first device sends the second indication information to the second network device, it may be specifically described based on whether the second network device sets an antenna port associated with the OAM mode.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when a target signal or control signaling is transmitted through the OAM mode in a case that the OAM mode is not set with a corresponding antenna port, regardless of which specific OAM mode is determined as the target OAM mode, it is necessary to notify which OAM mode is the target OAM mode. In this case, the first device sends second indication information to the second device to indicate the target OAM mode for transmitting the target signal or control signaling. Therefore, in response to determining that the respective OAM modes are not mapped with the corresponding antenna port, the target OAM mode is indicated to the second device through the second indication information, so as to instruct the second device to receive the corresponding target signal or control signaling on the target OAM mode.
When the OAM mode is not mapped with the corresponding antenna port, the target OAM mode is indicated to the second device through the second indication information, and the second device is instructed to receive the corresponding target signal or control signaling on the target OAM mode, may be achieved through, but not limited to, the following methods.
When the determined target OAM mode is the OAM mode or the OAM mode corresponding to the maximum measurement value of the antenna port corresponding to the OAM mode, since the second device does not know the target OAM mode, if the information of the target OAM mode is not included in the second indication information, the second device will not know which OAM mode to use to receive the target signal or control signaling, so it is necessary to send the information of the selected target OAM mode to the second device. When the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode is the target signal or control signaling determined according to the predetermined protocol agreement, since the second device can know the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode according to the predetermined protocol agreement, it is unnecessary to send the information of the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode to the second device. Therefore, in response to the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode being the target signal or control signaling agreed by a predetermined protocol and the target OAM mode being the OAM mode or the OAM mode corresponding to the maximum measurement value of the antenna port corresponding to the OAM mode, second indication information is sent to the second device, and the second indication information includes the information of target OAM mode.
When the determined target OAM mode is the first OAM mode or information of the antenna port corresponding to the first OAM mode, although there is no antenna port associated with the OAM mode set in the second device, if the determined target OAM mode is the first OAM mode reported by the second device, the second indication information does not include the information of the target OAM mode, and the second device may also know the antenna port corresponding to the target OAM mode, so it is unnecessary to send the information of the determined target OAM mode to the second device. When the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode is confirmed by the first device, since the target signal or control signaling is confirmed by the first device and may not be known by the second device in advance, it is necessary to send the information of the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode to the second device. Therefore, in response to the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode being the target signal or control signaling confirmed by the first device according to a predetermined protocol and the target OAM mode being the first OAM mode or information of the antenna port information corresponding to the first OAM mode, the second indication information is sent to the second device, where the second indication information includes information of the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode.
When the determined target OAM mode is the OAM mode or the OAM mode corresponding to the maximum measurement value of the antenna port corresponding to the OAM mode, since the second device does not know the target OAM mode, if the information of the target OAM mode is not included in the second indication information, the second device will not know which OAM mode to use to receive the target signal or control signaling, so it is necessary to send the information of the selected target OAM mode to the second device. When the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode is confirmed by the first device, since the target signal or control signaling is confirmed by the first device and may not be known by the second device in advance, it is necessary to send the information of the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode to the second device. Therefore, in response to the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode being the target signal or control signaling confirmed by the first device and the target OAM mode being the OAM mode or the OAM mode corresponding to the maximum measurement value of the antenna port corresponding to the OAM mode, the second indication information is sent to the second device, where the second indication information includes the information of target OAM mode and information of the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the OAM mode is configured with a corresponding antenna port, it indicates that no matter which OAM mode is selected by the first device as the target OAM mode, the target antenna port is configured to receive the target signal or control signaling transmitted by the target OAM mode, and the first device does not need to inform the second device of which OAM mode the target OAM mode is. In this case, it is only necessary to send information of the target signal or control signaling carried by the determined target OAM mode to the second device. When the second device is configured with an antenna port associated with OAM mode, sending the second indication information to the second device may be achieved using, but is not limited to, the following method, which includes: in response to the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode being the one confirmed by the first device and the target OAM mode being the OAM mode or the OAM mode corresponding to the maximum measurement value of the antenna port corresponding to the OAM mode, sending second indication information to the second device, where the second indication information includes information of the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode.
For the description about information of the target signal or the control signaling, please refer to the above corresponding description, which will not be repeated here.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second device may receive the corresponding target signal or control signaling on the target OAM mode in the form of an indication, and the second device may also receive the corresponding target signal or control signaling on the target OAM mode in the form of a protocol agreement. When the corresponding target signal or control signaling is received by the second device on the target OAM mode through the protocol agreement, it may be realized in the following method, including but not limited to: when the OAM mode is set with a corresponding antenna port, it indicates that no matter which OAM mode is selected by the first device as the target OAM mode, the target antenna port is configured to receive the target signal or control signaling transmitted by the target OAM mode, and the first device does not need to inform the second device of which OAM mode the target OAM mode is. Therefore, in response to the OAM mode mapping with the corresponding antenna port, the second device receives the corresponding target signal or control signaling on the target antenna port.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode is determined according to a predetermined protocol agreement, the first device and the second device know the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode according to the predetermined protocol agreement, and it is unnecessary for the first device to send the indication information of the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode to the second device. Moreover, a corresponding antenna port is set based on the OAM mode, and the second device receives indication information of the corresponding target signal or control signaling agreed by the protocol on the target antenna port.
In a specific implementation, in a case that respective OAM modes are mapped with corresponding antenna ports, a mapping relationship between the respective OAM modes and the antenna ports are maintained or adjusted, so that the target OAM mode is mapped to a target antenna port, and the target antenna port receives the corresponding target signal or control signaling.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, although the OAM mode is not set with a corresponding antenna port, when the selected target OAM mode is the first OAM mode reported by the second device, the second device may know that the selected target OAM mode for transmitting the target signal or control signaling is the first OAM mode even if the selected target OAM mode for transmitting the target signal or control signaling is not indicated to the second device. Therefore, in response to the OAM mode not being set with a corresponding antenna port, the target OAM mode being the first OAM mode, and the target signal or control signaling carried by the target OAM mode being the target signal or control signaling determined according to the predetermined protocol agreement, the second device receives the corresponding target signal or control signaling agreed by the protocol on the agreed first OAM mode.
In addition to the above two cases, the second device may receive the corresponding target signal or control signaling on the target OAM mode based on a protocol agreement, and in other cases, the second device may receive the corresponding target signal or control signaling on the target OAM mode through a protocol agreement, specific embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit to this, and the specific embodiments may be implemented according to actual situations.
To sum up, according to the method of OAM modes indication provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first device selects an OAM mode as the target OAM mode for transmitting the target signal or control signaling according to the first indication information reported by the second device, and transmits the target signal or control signaling on the target OAM mode, thus ensuring the reliability of the target signal or control signaling. In addition, when determining the target signal or control signaling to be transmitted in the target OAM mode, it may be determined based on the protocol or by the first device, which is flexible in implementation and ensures that the target signal or control signaling may be transmitted in the optimal OAM mode among the available OAM modes.
