The present application relates to transmission methods and devices in wireless communication systems, and in particular to a method and device for radio signal transmission in a wireless communication system supporting cellular networks.
In New Radio (NR) R15 and R16, different beam management/indication mechanisms are respectively adopted for a control channel and a data channel, as well as for the uplink and the downlink. However, in many cases the control channel and the data channel can use the same beam, and since there exists channel reciprocity between an uplink channel and a downlink channel under many application scenarios, the same beam can be applicable to both channels. At the 3GPP Radio Access Network (RAN) 1 #103e conference, the technique of using physical layer signaling to update beams for the control channel and the data channel has been approved.
The applicant finds through researches that how a physical-layer signaling used for controlling beams for both a control channel and a data channel influences the consistency between a transmitting end and a receiving end is an issue for consideration.
To address the above problem, the present application provides a solution. It should be noted that although the statement above only took the example of cellular networks, the present application also applies to other scenarios like Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), where similar technical effects can be achieved. Additionally, the adoption of a unified solution for various scenarios, including but not limited to cellular networks and V2X, contributes to the reduction of hardcore complexity and costs. In the case of no conflict, the embodiments of any node and the characteristics in the embodiments may be applied to any other node, and vice versa. What’s more, the embodiments in the present application and the characteristics in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined if there is no conflict.

Embodiment 4 illustrates a schematic diagram of a first communication device and a second communication device according to one embodiment of the present application, as shown in
The first communication device 410 comprises a controller/processor 475, a memory 476, a receiving processor 470, a transmitting processor 416, a multi-antenna receiving processor 472, a multi-antenna transmitting processor 471, a transmitter/receiver 418 and an antenna 420.
The second communication device 450 comprises a controller/processor 459, a memory 460, a data source 467, a transmitting processor 468, a receiving processor 456, a multi-antenna transmitting processor 457, a multi-antenna receiving processor 458, a transmitter/receiver 454 and an antenna 452.
In a transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, at the first communication device 410, a higher layer packet from a core network is provided to the controller/processor 475. The controller/processor 475 provides functions of the L2 layer. In DL, the controller/processor 475 provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, multiplexing between a logical channel and a transport channel and radio resource allocation of the second communication device 450 based on various priorities. The controller/processor 475 is responsible for HARQ operation, retransmission of a lost packet and a signaling to the second communication device 450. The transmitting processor 416 and the multi-antenna transmitting processor 471 perform various signal processing functions used for the L1 layer (i.e., PHY). The transmitting processor 416 performs coding and interleaving so as to ensure a Forward Error Correction (FEC) at the second communication device 450 side and the constellation mapping corresponding to each modulation scheme (i.e., BPSK, QPSK, M-PSK, and M-QAM, etc.). The multi-antenna transmitting processor 471 performs digital spatial precoding, which includes precoding based on codebook and precoding based on non-codebook, and beamforming processing on encoded and modulated signals to generate one or more parallel streams. The transmitting processor 416 then maps each parallel stream into a subcarrier. The modulated symbols are multiplexed with a reference signal (i.e., pilot frequency) in time domain and/or frequency domain, and then they are assembled through Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) to generate a physical channel carrying time-domain multicarrier symbol streams. After that the multi-antenna transmitting processor 471 performs transmission analog precoding/beamforming on the time-domain multicarrier symbol streams. Each transmitter 418 converts a baseband multicarrier symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmitting processor 471 into a radio frequency (RF) stream, which is later provided to different antennas 420.
In a transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, at the second communication device 450, each receiver 454 receives a signal via a corresponding antenna 452. Each receiver 454 recovers information modulated to the RF carrier, and converts the radio frequency stream into a baseband multicarrier symbol stream to be provided to the receiving processor 456. The receiving processor 456 and the multi-antenna receiving processor 458 perform signal processing functions of the L1 layer. The multi-antenna receiving processor 458 performs reception analog precoding/beamforming on a baseband multicarrier symbol stream provided by the receiver 454. The receiving processor 456 converts baseband multicarrier symbol streams which have gone through reception analog precoding/beamforming operations from time domain to frequency domain using FFT. In frequency domain, physical layer data signals and reference signals are de-multiplexed by the receiving processor 456, where the reference signals are used for channel estimation while data signals are processed in the multi-antenna receiving processor 458 by multi-antenna detection to recover any parallel stream targeting the second communication device 450. Symbols on each parallel stream are demodulated and recovered in the receiving processor 456 to generate a soft decision. Then the receiving processor 456 decodes and de-interleaves the soft decision to recover the higher-layer data and control signal transmitted by the first communication device 410 on the physical channel. Next, the higher-layer data and control signal are provided to the controller/processor 459. The controller/processor 459 provides functions of the L2 layer. The controller/processor 459 can be associated with a memory 460 that stores program code and data. The memory 460 can be called a computer readable medium. In DL transmission, the controller/processor 459 provides de-multiplexing between a transport channel and a logical channel, packet reassembling, decryption, header decompression, control signal processing so as to recover a higher-layer packet from the core network. The higher-layer packet is later provided to all protocol layers above the L2 layer. Or various control signals can be provided to the L3 for processing. The controller/processor 459 is also in charge of using ACK and/or NACK protocols for error detection as a way to support HARQ operation.
In a transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, at the second communication device 450, the data source 467 is configured to provide a higher-layer packet to the controller/processor 459. The data source 467 represents all protocol layers above the L2 layer. Similar to a transmitting function of the first communication device 410 described in DL, the controller/processor 459 performs header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between a logical channel and a transport channel based on radio resource allocation for the first communication device 410 so as to provide the L2 layer functions used for the user plane and the control plane. The controller/processor 459 is responsible for HARQ operation, retransmission of a lost packet and a signaling to the first communication device 410. The transmitting processor 468 performs modulation and mapping, as well as channel coding, and the multi-antenna transmitting processor 457 performs digital multi-antenna spatial precoding, including precoding based on codebook and precoding based on non-codebook, and beamforming. The transmitting processor 468 then modulates generated parallel streams into multicarrier/single-carrier symbol streams. The modulated symbol streams, after being subjected to analog precoding/beamforming in the multi-antenna transmitting processor 457, are provided from the transmitter 454 to each antenna 452. Each transmitter 454 first converts a baseband symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmitting processor 457 into a radio frequency symbol stream, and then provides the radio frequency symbol stream to the antenna 452.
In a transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, the function of the first communication device 410 is similar to the receiving function of the second communication device 450 described in the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450. Each receiver 418 receives a radio frequency signal via a corresponding antenna 420, converts the received radio frequency signal into a baseband signal, and provides the baseband signal to the multi-antenna receiving processor 472 and the receiving processor 470. The receiving processor 470 and the multi-antenna receiving processor 472 jointly provide functions of the L1 layer. The controller/processor 475 provides functions of the L2 layer. The controller/processor 475 can be associated with the memory 476 that stores program code and data. The memory 476 can be called a computer readable medium. The controller/processor 475 provides demultiplexing between a transport channel and a logical channel, packet reassembling, decryption, header decompression and control signal processing so as to recover a higher-layer packet from the second communication device 450. The higher-layer packet coming from the controller/processor 475 may be provided to the core network. The controller/processor 475 can also perform error detection using ACK and/or NACK protocols to support HARQ operation.
