Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The application relates to a transmission method and a device in wireless communication systems, in particular to a transmission solution and a device supporting wireless signals in cellular wireless communication systems.

BACKGROUND

In the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partner Project) NR (New Radio) system, in order to support URLLC (Ultra Reliable and Low Latency Communication) services with higher requirements (such as higher reliability and lower latency), the NR Release 16 version now supports various enhancements for uplink transmission.

In the WI (Work Item), which continues to be enhanced for the NR Release 17 version of URLLC, the multiplexing of different services (Intra-UE) within UE (User Equipment) is an area that needs to be studied.

SUMMARY

When high priority (corresponding to URLLC service) HARQ-ACK (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest ACKnowledgement) and low priority (corresponding to eMBB (enhanced Mobile Broadband) service) HARQ-ACK are multiplexed to the same PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel), how to accurately determine the corresponding PUCCH resource set is a key problem that needs to be solved. Multiplying the sum of the number of high priority HARQ-ACK bits and the scaling value by the number of low priority HARQ-ACK bits to determine the PUCCH resource set is a solution under discussion. After adopting this solution, when the number of high priority HARQ-ACK bits is equal to 1 and the number of low priority HARQ-ACK bits is greater than 1, the result obtained by multiplying the sum of the number of high priority HARQ-ACK bits and the scaling ratio by the number of low priority HARQ-ACK bits may be less than 2, resulting in improper selection of PUCCH resource sets (such as selecting PUCCH resource sets that can only support the transmission of up to 2 bits). How to reasonably adjust the determination method of PUCCH resource set is an important issue that must be considered.

For the issues above, this application discloses a solution. It should be noted that although the above description uses HARQ-ACK in the uplink as an example, this application is also applicable to other scenarios, such as downlink, sidelink, and others, and has achieved a similar technical outcome. In addition, adopting a unified solution for different scenarios (including but not limited to uplink, downlink and side links) can also help reduce hardware complexity and cost, or improve performance.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment of the radio protocol architecture for the user plane 350 and control plane 300. FIG. 3 displays the radio protocol architecture of the control plane 300 for the first communication node device (gNB, UE or RSU in V2X) and the second communication node device (gNB, UE or RSU in V2X), or between two UEs in three layers: layer 1, layer 2 and layer 3. Layer 1 (L1 layer) is the lowest layer and carries out various PHY (physical layer) signal processing functions. The L1 will be referred to as PHY301 in this document. Layer 2 (L2 layer) 305 is above PHY301 and is responsible for the link between the first communication node device and the second communication node device and two UEs through PHY301. L2 layer 305 includes MAC (Medium Access Control) sublayer 302, RLC (Radio Link Control Protocol) sublayer 303, and PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) sublayer 304, which all terminate at the second communication node device. The PDCP sublayer 304 provides multi-channel multiplexing between different radio bearers and logical channels. The PDCP sublayer 304 also provides security by encrypting data packets, as well as providing cross zone mobility support for the first communication node device between the second communication node devices. RLC sublayer 303 provides segmentation and reassembly of upper layer data packets, retransmission of lost data packets, and reordering of data packets to compensate for disordered reception caused by HARQ.

Embodiment 4

Embodiment 4 shows a schematic diagram of the first communication device and the second communication device according to an embodiment of this application, as shown in FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the first communication device 410 and the second communication device 450 that communicate with each other in an access network.

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 transmission processor 468, a reception processor 456, a multi-antenna transmission processor 457, a multi-antenna reception processor 458, a transmitter/receiver 454 and an antenna 452.

During transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, upper layer data packets from the core network are provided to the controller/processor 475 at the first communication device 410. The controller/processor 475 implements L2 functionality. In the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, the controller/processor 475 provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, multiplexing between logic and transport channels, and radio resource allocation based on various priority metrics to the second communication device 450. The controller/processor 475 is also responsible for re-transmitting lost packets and signals to the second communication device 450. The transmission processor 416 and the multi-antenna transmission processor 471 implement various signal processing functions for the L1 layer (i.e., the physical layer). The transmission processor 416 implements encoding and interleaving to facilitate forward error correction (FEC) at the second communication device 450, as well as mapping of signal clusters based on various modulation methods, such as binary phase shift keying (BPSK), orthogonal phase shift keying (QPSK), M phase shift keying (M-PSK), and M orthogonal amplitude modulation (M-QAM). The multi-antenna transmission processor 471 performs digital spatial precoding of encoded and modulated symbols, including codebook based precoding and non-codebook based precoding, as well as beam-forming processing to generate one or more space streams. The transmission processor 416 then maps each space stream to a subcarrier, multi-channel multiplexes them and/or reference signals (e.g., pilots) in the time and/or frequency domains, and then uses an Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) to generate a physical channel that carries the time domain multi-carrier symbol stream. Subsequently, the multi-antenna transmission processor 471 performs transmission simulation and precoding/beam-forming operation on the time domain multi-carrier symbol stream. Each transmitter 418 converts the baseband multi-carrier symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmission processor 471 into radio frequency streams which are then provided to different antennas 420.

In transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, each receiver 454 receives signals through its corresponding antenna 452. Each receiver 454 restores the information modulated onto the radio frequency carrier and converts the radio frequency stream into a baseband multi-carrier symbol stream and provides it to the receiving processor 456. The receiving processor 456 and the multi-antenna receiving processor 458 perform various signal processing functions for the L1. The multi-antenna receiving processor 458 performs analog reception precoding/beam-forming operations on the baseband multi-carrier symbol stream from the receiver 454. The receiving processor 456 uses Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to convert the baseband multi-carrier symbol stream from the time domain to the frequency domain after receiving the analog precoding/beam-forming operation. In the frequency domain, the physical layer data signal and the reference signal are demultiplexed by the receiving processor 456, where the reference signal is used for channel estimation, and the data signal is detected in the multi-antenna receiving processor 458 and restored to any space stream destined for the second communication device 450. The symbols on each space stream are demodulated and restored in the receiving processor 456, after which soft decisions are generated. Then the receiving processor 456 decodes and de-interleaves the soft decision to recover the upper layer data and control signals transmitted by the first communication device 410 on the physical channel. The upper layer data and control signals are then supplied to the controller/processor 459. The controller/processor 459 implements the L2 functions. The controller/processor 459 may be associated with the memory 460 that stores program code and data. The memory 460 may be referred to as a computer readable medium. In the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, the controller/processor 459 provides multiplexing between transmission and logic channels, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression and control signal processing to recover upper layer data packets from the core network. The upper layer packets are then provided to all protocol layers above L2. Various control signals can also be provided to L3 for processing.

During transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, a data source 467 is used at the second communication device 450 to provide upper layer data packets to the controller/processor 459. The data source 467 represents all protocol layers above L2. Similar to the transmission function described for the first communication device 410 in the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, the controller/processor 459 implements header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, as well as multiplexing between logic and transport channels based on wireless resource allocation, implementing L2 layer functions for the user and control planes. The controller/processor 459 is also responsible for the retransmission of lost packets and signal to the first communication device 410. The transmission processor 468 performs modulation mapping and channel coding processing, and the multi-antenna transmission processor 457 performs spatial digital multi-antenna precoding, including codebook based precoding and non-codebook based precoding and beam-forming processing. Subsequently, the transmission processor 468 modulates the generated space stream into a multi-carrier/single carrier symbol stream.

In the transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, the function at the first communication device 410 is similar to the reception function at the second communication device 450 described in the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450. They undergo simulated precoding/beam-forming operations in the multi-antenna transmission processor 457 and are then supplied to different antennas 452 through the transmitter 454. Each transmitter 454 first converts the baseband symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmission processor 457 into a radio frequency symbol stream, and then provides them to antenna 452. Each receiver 418 receives RF signals through the corresponding antenna 420, converts the received RF signals into baseband signals, and provides the baseband signals to the multi-antenna receiving processor 472 and the receiving processor 470. The receiving processor 470 and the multi-antenna receiving processor 472 jointly implement the L1 functions. The controller/processor 475 implements L2 functionality. The controller/processor 475 may be associated with the memory 476 that stores program code and data. The memory 476 may be referred to as a computer readable medium. In the transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, the controller/processor 475 provides multi-channel multiplexing, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing between the transport and the logical channels to recover upper layer data packets from the UE450. Upper layer data packets from the controller/processor 475 can be provided to the core network.
