METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING DATA, RECEIVING-END DEVICE, AND TRANSMITTING-END DEVICE

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to the field of communication, and more particularly, to a method for data transmission, a receiver device and a sender device.

BACKGROUND

In a conventional Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, a Transport Block (TB) adopts the same coding manner and the same modulation and coding level and is mapped to a Physical Resource Block (PRB) in a subframe after interleaving processing. A receiver may start demodulation only after completely receiving all time-domain symbols in the subframe. Since a certain time is required by processing of demodulation, decoding and the like, feedback information is required to be transmitted in a subsequent subframe. A processing time domain in LTE is 4 ms.

There may be more service types in a 5th-Generation (5G) system, for example, Ultra Reliable and Low Latency Communication (URLLC). Services of this type require a receiver to give a feedback rapidly and require, under an extreme condition, feedback information corresponding to data in a present time unit to be fed back in the present time unit. However, in a conventional art, demodulation may be implemented after a certain time, which is relatively low in spectrum efficiency and may not meet the requirements of the services of this type. Therefore, it is urgent to propose a solution to solve the problem.

SUMMARY

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method for data transmission, a receiver device and a sender device, which may improve spectrum efficiency, thereby implementing rapid demodulation.

A first aspect provides a method for data transmission, which may include the following operations.

A receiver device receives a first part and at least one second part of data on a time unit, first modulation and coding processing being adopted for the first part and second modulation and coding processing being adopted for the at least one second part.

The receiver device demodulates the first part and the at least one second part.

In the embodiments of the disclosure, the receiver device receives the first part and at least one second part of the data on the time unit, the first modulation and coding processing being adopted for the first part and the second modulation and coding processing being adopted for the at least one second part, and the first part and the at least one second part are demodulated, so that spectrum efficiency may be improved and rapid demodulation is further implemented.

Alternatively, the time unit may be understood as a time unit occupied by a TB and the TB is divided into a first part (or called a first code block part, the first code block part mentioned hereinafter is the first part) and at least one second part (or called a second code block part, the second code block part mentioned hereinafter is the second part) for data transmission. For example, the time unit may be a basic unit of a time-domain physical resource configured for signal transmission and may specifically be a subframe, a Transmission Time Interval (TTI), a time slot, an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, a Resource Element (RE) or the like. There are no limits made thereto.

Alternatively, the receiver device may be a terminal device or a network device. Descriptions will be made herein with the terminal device as an example.

In the embodiments of the disclosure, the at least one second part may be one or more code block parts (i.e., second code block parts) and there are no limits made to the number of the code block parts.

In some possible implementation modes, the time unit occupies N time-domain symbols, the first code block part occupies the first L time-domain symbols of the N time-domain symbols and the at least one second code block part occupies the last K time-domain symbols in the N time-domain symbols, N being a positive integer greater than 1, L being a positive integer not greater than N and K being a positive integer not greater than N.

Alternatively, in the embodiments of the disclosure, the terminal device divides the TB into the first code block part and the at least one second code block part. The first code block part is configured to be subjected to the first modulation and coding processing and the at least one second code block part is configured to be subjected to the second modulation and coding processing. The TB occupies the N time-domain symbols, the first code block part occupies the first L time-domain symbols of the N time-domain symbols and the at least one second code block part occupies the last K time-domain symbols in the N time-domain symbols. Transmitting the first code block part and the at least one second code block part on the N time-domain symbols may improve spectrum efficiency, thereby implementing rapid demodulation.

Alternatively, as an embodiment, a sum of the L time-domain symbols occupied by the first part and the K time-domain symbols occupied by the at least one second part is the N time-domain symbols occupied by the time unit.

Or, the sum of the L time-domain symbols occupied by the first part and the K time-domain symbols occupied by the at least one second part is a sum of the N time-domain symbols occupied by the time unit and a time-domain symbol, the last time-domain symbol in the L time-domain symbols and the first time-domain symbol in the K time-domain symbols being the same time-domain symbol.

For example, during specific implementation, the sum of L and K may be N or the sum of L and K may also be N+1.

Alternatively, the first code block part and the at least one second code block part are independently coded.

In the embodiments of the disclosure, a processing manner of complex coding, interleaving and the like may be adopted for the first code block part and demodulation performance of the first code block part is higher than that of the at least one second code block part.

In some possible implementation modes, the first modulation and coding processing is different from the second modulation and coding processing in terms of at least one of coding manner, modulation manner, or coding rate.

In some possible implementation modes, a modulation level adopted for the second modulation and coding processing is not higher than a modulation level adopted for the first modulation and coding processing; and/or a coding rate adopted for the second modulation and coding processing is not higher than a coding rate adopted for the first modulation and coding processing.

Herein, since relatively complex coding and interleaving manners are adopted for the first code block part and simple coding processing is adopted for the second code block part, for ensuring similar demodulation performance of the second code block part and the first code block part, the coding rate and/or modulation and coding level of the second code block part may be appropriately reduced.

Alternatively, in the embodiments of the disclosure, interleaving processing may be performed on the first code block part after channel coding and includes interleaving manners of inter-code-block interleaving, time-domain interleaving and the like; and interleaving processing is not performed on the at least one second code block part after channel coding.

Alternatively, interleaving processing may be performed on the first part of the data before the first part is coded; and/or interleaving processing may also be performed on the first part of the data after the first part is coded. There are no limits made thereto.

Alternatively, a resource mapping manner for the at least one second code block part may be a manner of a frequency domain at first and then a time domain.

Alternatively, the first code block part may include multiple code sub-blocks. Specifically, the first code block part may further be divided into the multiple code sub-blocks and the multiple code sub-blocks are independently coded. Therefore, a terminal device may adopt a parallel decoder to implement rapid decoding.

In some possible implementation modes, the receiver device is the terminal device and the method may further include the following operations.

The terminal device receives first signaling sent by a network device, the first signaling being configured to indicate a modulation and coding level corresponding to the first modulation and coding processing.

The terminal device determines a modulation and coding level corresponding to the second modulation and coding processing according to the first signaling; or, the terminal device determines at least one of a modulation manner or coding rate corresponding to the second modulation and coding processing according to the first signaling.

Herein, the terminal device may receive the first signaling sent by the network device, thereby determining the modulation and coding level adopted for the at least one second code block part.

Alternatively, in the embodiments of the disclosure, the first signaling may be configuration signaling transmitted to the terminal device by the network device.

In some possible implementation modes, the receiver device is the terminal device and the method may further include the following operations.

The terminal device receives second signaling sent by the network device, the second signaling being configured to indicate at least one of a value of K or a total number of the at least one second part.

Alternatively, in the embodiments of the disclosure, the second signaling may directly indicate the value of K and may also indirectly indicate the value of K. For example, alternatively, the second signaling may also be configured to indicate the number of REs occupied by the at least one second code block part or configured to indicate a ratio of the number of the REs occupied by the at least one second code block part to the total number of REs. The terminal device may indirectly acquire the value of K according to information about the number of the REs.

Alternatively, in the embodiments of the disclosure, the second signaling may be configuration signaling, for example, Downlink Control Information (DCI) signaling, transmitted to the terminal device by the network device.

In the embodiments of the disclosure, the value of K may be configured by the network device or specified by a protocol. There are no limits made thereto.

In some possible implementation modes, the first part occupies a first frequency-domain resource for transmission and the at least one second part occupies a second frequency-domain resource for transmission, the first frequency-domain resource being different from the second frequency-domain resource. Specifically, the first code block part is mapped to the first frequency-domain resource in the L time-domain symbols and the at least one second code block part is mapped to the second frequency-domain resource in the K time-domain symbols, the first frequency-domain resource being different from the second frequency-domain resource.

Alternatively, in the embodiments of the disclosure, a Transport Block Size (TBS) of each second code block part in the at least one second code block part is not greater than a first threshold value.

Alternatively, the first threshold value may be configured by the network device or may also be specified by the protocol.

Herein, the first threshold value is introduced to specific a TBS upper limit of the second code block part to ensure rapid demodulation of the second code block part.

In some possible implementation modes, the method 200 further includes the following operation.

If a size of a target code block of the at least one second part is greater than a second threshold value, the receiver device divides the target code block into multiple code sub-blocks, a size of each of the multiple code sub-blocks being not greater than the second threshold value and each of the multiple code sub-blocks being independently coded.

In other words, if a TBS of a second code block part in the at least one second code block part is greater than the second threshold value, the second code block part is divided into multiple code sub-blocks, a TBS of each of the multiple code sub-blocks being not greater than the second threshold value.

Alternatively, the second threshold value may be configured by the network device or may also be specified by the protocol.

The terminal device divides the second code block part into the multiple code sub-blocks and adopts the parallel decoder for decoding, so that rapid decoding is implemented.

Alternatively, the first code block part may also be divided into multiple code sub-blocks, also for implementing rapid decoding.

In some possible implementation modes, the method may further include the following operation.

Capability information is sent to the network device, the capability information being configured to indicate that the terminal device supports the data (the corresponding TB) transmitted on the time unit to be divided into the first part and the at least one second part for transmission.

In such a manner, the network device may learn about the capability information of the terminal device, thereby transmitting a related instruction.

In some possible implementation modes, the method may further include the following operation.

A notification message sent by the network device is received, the notification message being configured for the terminal device to determine the first code block part and the at least one second code block part.

For example, the notification message includes a TBS of the TB and a TBS of the first code block part.

A TBS of the at least one second code block part is determined according to the TBS of the TB and TBS of the first code block part, which are sent by the network device, and a preset rule.

For example, the notification message includes the TBS of the TB and the TBS of the at least one second code block part.

The TBS of the first code block part is determined according to the TBS of the TB and TBS of the at least one second code block part, which are sent by the network device, and the preset rule.

For example, the notification message includes the TBS of the TB.

The TBS of the first code block part and the TBS of the at least one second code block part are determined according to the TBS of the TB, which is sent by the network device, and the preset rule.

For example, the notification message includes the TBS of the first code block part and the TBS of the at least one second code block part.

In the embodiments of the disclosure, the preset rule may refer to a magnitude relationship among the TBS of the TB, the TBS of the first code block part and the TBS of the at least one second code block part. For example, it may be predetermined by the preset rule that the TBS of the TB is a sum of the TBS of the first code block part and the TBS of the at least one second code block part. There are no limits made thereto.

In the embodiments of the disclosure, the preset rule may be predetermined by the network device and the terminal device or specified in the protocol. The same to the preset rule mentioned hereinafter.

Therefore, the terminal device may determine the first code block part and the at least one second code block part according to the notification message sent by the network device and in combination with the preset rule.

A second aspect provides a method for data transmission, which may include the following operation.

A sender device sends a first part and at least one second part of data on a time unit, first modulation and coding processing being adopted for the first part and second modulation and coding processing being adopted for the at least one second part.

According to the data transmission method of the embodiments of the disclosure, the sender device sends the first part and at least one second part of the data on the time unit, the first modulation and coding processing being adopted for the first part and the second modulation and coding processing being adopted for the at least one second part, and then a receiver device may demodulate the first part and the at least one second part, so that spectrum efficiency may be improved and rapid demodulation is further implemented.

In some possible implementation modes, a sum of the L time-domain symbols occupied by the first part and the K time-domain symbols occupied by the at least one second part is the N time-domain symbols occupied by the time unit.

For example, during specific implementation, the sum of L and K may be N or the sum of L and K may also be N+1.

In some possible implementation modes, a size of each code block in the at least one second part is not greater than a first threshold value.

In some possible implementation modes, the method may further include the following operation.

If the size of a target code block of the at least one second part is greater than a second threshold value, the sender device divides the target code block into multiple code sub-blocks, a size of each of the multiple code sub-blocks being not greater than the second threshold value and each of the multiple code sub-blocks being independently coded.

In some possible implementation modes, a corresponding code block of the first part includes multiple code sub-blocks and each of the multiple code sub-blocks is independently coded.

Alternatively, in some possible implementation modes, the method further includes the following operations.

A notification message is determined, the notification message being configured for a terminal device to determine the first code block part and the at least one second code block part.

The notification message is sent to the terminal device, the notification message being configured for the terminal device to determine a code block size of the first part and a code block size of the at least one second part.

The network device may send the notification message to the terminal device to enable the terminal device to determine the TBS of the first code block part and the TBS of the second code block part according to the notification message and a preset rule.

In some possible implementation modes, the method may further include the following operation.

The network device receives capability information sent by the terminal device, the capability information being configured to indicate that the terminal device supports the data transmitted on the time unit to be divided into the first part and the at least one second part for transmission.

The network device may receive the capability information reported by the terminal device for a related operation. Alternatively, the network device may also directly send the notification message to the terminal device without combination with the capability information. There are no limits made thereto.

In some possible implementation modes, the method may further include the following operation.

First signaling is sent to the terminal device, the first signaling being configured to indicate a modulation and coding level corresponding to the first modulation and coding processing.

Herein, the network device may send signaling (for example, the first signaling) to the terminal device and indicate the modulation and coding level adopted for the first modulation and coding processing through the signaling to enable the terminal device to determine a modulation and coding level adopted for the second modulation and coding processing.

The terminal device may indirectly acquire the value of K according to information about the number of the REs.

Herein, the network device may send signaling (for example, the second signaling) to the terminal device and directly or indirectly indicate the value of K through the signaling to enable the terminal device to determine the at least one second code block part according to the value of K.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the disclosure. It is apparent that the described embodiments are not all embodiments but part of embodiments of the disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art on the basis of the embodiments in the disclosure without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the disclosure.

It is to be understood that the technical solutions of the embodiments of the disclosure may be applied to various communication systems, for example, a present communication system like a Global System of Mobile Communication (GSM), a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system, a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), an LTE system, a Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) and the like, and are particularly applied to a future 5G system.

It is also to be understood that, in the embodiments of the disclosure, a network device may also be called a network-side device, a base station or the like. The base station may be a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) in the GSM or CDMA, may also be a NodeB in WCDMA and may also be an Evolutional Node B (eNB or eNodeB) in LTE, a base station device in a future 5G network or the like. There are no limits made thereto in the disclosure.

It is also to be understood that, in the embodiments of the disclosure, a terminal device may communicate with one or more core networks through a Radio Access Network (RAN). The terminal device may be called an access terminal, User Equipment (UE), a user unit, a user station, a mobile station, a mobile radio station, a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a wireless communication device, a user agent or a user device. The terminal device may be a cell phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a handheld device with a wireless communication function, a computing device, another processing device connected to a wireless modem, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a terminal device in the future 5G network and the like.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a scenario. It is to be understood that, for convenient comprehension, the scenario in FIG. 1 is introduced herein for description as an example but is not intended to limit the disclosure. FIG. 1 illustrates a terminal device 11, a terminal device 12, a terminal device 13 and a base station 21.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the terminal device 11 may communicate with the base station 21, the terminal device 12 may communicate with the base station 21 and the terminal device 13 communicates with the base station 21. Alternatively, the terminal device 12 may also communicate with the terminal device 11. Alternatively, as another condition, the terminal device 13 communicates with the base station 12. Herein, when the terminal devices communicate with the base station, processing such as demodulation and decoding is performed on received signals and feedback information is sent.

However, in the conventional art, the same coding manner and the same modulation and coding level are adopted for a TB of data and a terminal device may start demodulation only after completely receiving time-domain symbols of the TB. Since a 5G system is required to support URLLC. Services of this type require a receiver to give a feedback rapidly, but rapid demodulation of data may not be implemented in a processing manner in the conventional art. Therefore, a terminal device or network device of this patent try to divide a TB of data into a first part and at least one second part and the first part and the at least one second part are independently coded, so that spectrum efficiency may be improved and rapid demodulation is further implemented.

FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a method for data transmission 200 according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The method 200 may be executed by a receiver device. The receiver device may be a terminal device or a network device. Descriptions will be made herein with the terminal device as an example. For example, the terminal device may be a terminal device 11, terminal device 12 or terminal device 13 in FIG. 1. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the method 200 includes the following operations.

In S210, a receiver device receives a first part and at least one second part of data on a time unit, first modulation and coding processing being adopted for the first part and second modulation and coding processing being adopted for the at least one second part.

Alternatively, the time unit may be understood as a TB and the TB is divided into a first part (or called a first code block part, the first code block part mentioned hereinafter is the first part) and at least one second part (or called a second code block part, the second code block part mentioned hereinafter is the second part) for data transmission. For example, the time unit may be a basic unit of a time-domain physical resource configured for signal transmission and may specifically be a subframe, a TTI, a time slot, an OFDM symbol, an RE or the like. There are no limits made thereto.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the at least one second part may be one or more code block parts (i.e., second code block parts) and there are no limits made to the number of the code block parts.

Alternatively, the time unit occupies N time-domain symbols, the first code block part occupies the first L time-domain symbols of the N time-domain symbols and the at least one second code block part occupies the last K time-domain symbols in the N time-domain symbols, N being a positive integer greater than 1, L being a positive integer not greater than N and K being a positive integer not greater than N.

Specifically, the terminal device may divide the TB into the first code block part and the at least one second code block part. The first code block part and the at least one second code block part are independently coded. For example, the first code block part is configured to be subjected to the first modulation and coding processing and the at least one second part is configured to be subjected to the second modulation and coding processing. The first modulation and coding processing refers to that a manner of relatively complex coding, interleaving and the like is adopted for the first code block part of the TB to improve demodulation performance, thereby improving transmission efficiency. For example, “complex coding” may include at least one of complex coding manners of a turbo code, a Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) code, a polar code and the like. The second modulation and coding processing refers to that simple coding processing is adopted, for example, time-domain interleaving processing is not adopted, for the at least one second code block part of the TB, so as to reduce a feedback delay. For example, “simple coding” may include at least one of simple coding manners of a Reed Muller (RM) code, a convolutional code and the like.

Alternatively, the first modulation and coding processing is different from the second modulation and coding processing in terms of at least one of coding manner, modulation manner, or coding rate.

For example, alternatively, a modulation level adopted for the second modulation and coding processing over the at least one second code block part is not higher than a modulation level adopted for the first modulation and coding processing over the first code block part; and/or a coding rate adopted for the second modulation and coding processing over the at least one second code block part is not higher than a coding rate adopted for the first modulation and coding processing over the first code block part.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, a processing manner of complex coding, interleaving and the like may be adopted for the first code block part and demodulation performance of the first code block part is higher than that of the at least one second code block part. Alternatively, a lower Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) may be adopted for the first code block part to ensure similar demodulation performance of the first code block part and the at least one second code block part.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the disclosure, interleaving processing may be performed on the first part after channel coding and includes interleaving manners of inter-code-block interleaving, time-domain interleaving and the like; and interleaving processing is not performed on the at least one second part after channel coding.

Alternatively, a resource mapping manner for the at least one second code block part may be a manner of a frequency domain at first and then a time domain.

In S220, the receiver device demodulates the first part and the at least one second part. Specifically, the receiver device may receive the first part and at least one second part of the data on the N time-domain symbols occupied by the time unit. A relatively complex coding processing manner is adopted for the first part and a relatively simple coding processing manner is adopted for the at least one second part. Then, the first part and the at least one second part are demodulated or decoded.

In such a manner, according to the data transmission method of the embodiment of the disclosure, the receiver device receives the first part and at least one second part of the data on the time unit, the first modulation and coding processing being adopted for the first part and the second modulation and coding processing being adopted for the at least one second part, and the first part and the at least one second part are demodulated, so that spectrum efficiency may be improved and rapid demodulation is further implemented.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, when the receiver device is a terminal device, the terminal device determines the first code block part and at least one second code block part of the TB. The first code block part is configured to be subjected to the first modulation and coding processing and the at least one second code block part is configured to be subjected to the second modulation and coding processing. The TB occupies the N time-domain symbols, the first code block part occupies the first L time-domain symbols of the N time-domain symbols and the at least one second code block part occupies the last K time-domain symbols in the N time-domain symbols. Transmitting the first code block part and the at least one second code block part on the N time-domain symbols may improve spectrum efficiency, thereby implementing rapid demodulation.

It is to be understood that, in the embodiment of the disclosure, numbers “first”, “second” and the like are introduced only to distinguish different objects, for example, to distinguish different “code block parts” or distinguish different “modulation and coding processing” manners. Numbers appearing hereinafter are also adopted to distinguish different objects. All of these are not intended to limit the disclosure.

It is also to be understood that, in various embodiments of the disclosure, a magnitude of a sequence number of each process does not mean an execution sequence and the execution sequence of each process should be determined by its function and an internal logic and should not form any limit to an implementation process of the embodiments of the disclosure.

Alternatively, as an embodiment, the receiver device is the terminal device and the method 200 may further include the following operations.

Specifically, the modulation and coding level adopted for the first modulation and coding processing over the first code block part of the terminal device may be indicated by the network device through signaling (for example, the first signaling). The terminal device receives the first signaling sent by the network device to learn about the modulation and coding level adopted for the first modulation and coding processing and determines the modulation manner (for example, the coding rate and the modulation and coding level) adopted for the second modulation and coding processing over the at least one second part according to the modulation and coding level adopted for the first modulation and coding processing. For example, the terminal device may select a modulation and coding level lower than that adopted for the first modulation and coding processing as the modulation and coding level adopted for the second modulation and coding processing.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the disclosure, the first signaling may be configuration signaling transmitted to the terminal device by the network device.

Alternatively, as an embodiment, the receiver device is the terminal device and the method 200 may further include the following operations.

Specifically, the terminal device receives the second signaling sent by the network device, the second signaling being configured to indicate the value of K and/or being configured to indicate a total number of the at least one second part. The terminal device may determine the first code block part and the at least one second code block part according to the second signaling.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the second signaling may directly indicate the value of K and may also indirectly indicate the value of K. For example, alternatively, the second signaling may also be configured to indicate the number of REs occupied by the at least one second code block part or configured to indicate a ratio of the number of the REs occupied by the at least one second code block part to the total number of REs. The terminal device may indirectly acquire the value of K according to information about the number of the REs.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the disclosure, the second signaling may be configuration signaling, for example, DCI signaling, transmitted to the terminal device by the network device.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the value of K may be configured by the network device or specified by a protocol. There are no limits made thereto.

Specifically, the terminal device may map the first code block part to the first frequency-domain resource in the L time-domain symbols and map the at least one second code block part to the second frequency-domain resource in the K time-domain symbols, the first frequency-domain resource being different from the second frequency-domain resource.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the disclosure, a TBS of each second code block part in the at least one second code block part is not greater than a first threshold value.
