2. Sidelink (SL) HARQ Feedback
To improve reliability and effectiveness of sidelink transmission, SL HARQ is introduced into NR V2X. On an SL, a transmit node sends data or a transport block (TB) to a receive node, and the receive node determines whether the data is successfully received. If the data is successfully received, the receive node feeds back an ACK to the transmit node; otherwise, feeds back a NACK. Transmission of the ACK or NACK takes place on a corresponding PSFCH resource (that is, a corresponding PSFCH).
UE transmits a PSFCH carrying HARQ-ACK information on one or more sub-channels in response to PSSCH reception. The UE obtains a PSFCH resource periodicity by using a parameter such as period PSFCH resource (periodPSFCHresource), where a parameter value N=0/1/2/4 slots. When the parameter value is 0, the UE transmits no PSFCH.
If the UE has received a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) in a resource pool, and sidelink control information (SCI) format 0_2 scheduling the PSSCH reception indicates that the UE is to report HARQ-ACK information, the UE has the HARQ-ACK information carried on a resource for PSFCH transmission. A processing delay between the last slot for reception of PSSCH data by the UE and a slot for transmission of a corresponding PSFCH is obtained through a parameter MinTimeGapPSFCH, with a value k=2 or 3 slots.
Resource blocks (RB) for PSFCH transmission in a resource pool are classified based on slot indexes and sub-channel indexes. Two mapping manners are present between a PSSCH and a corresponding PSFCH feedback resource.
Manner 1: HARQ-ACK information is transmitted only on a PSFCH resource corresponding to an initial sub-channel in sub-channels occupied by PSSCH data.
Manner 2: HARQ-ACK information is transmitted on PSFCH resources corresponding to all sub-channels occupied by PSSCH data.
The UE determines resource indexes for PSFCH transmission according to a receive ID and a transmit ID. Cyclic shift pairs are introduced, that is, code division technology is used for expanding resources for PSFCH transmission.
3. Sidelink
Starting from Release 12, a long term evolution (LTE) system supports a sidelink for direct data transmission between UEs without using a network device.
UE sends SCI over a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) to schedule transmission of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) for sending data. Such transmission is performed in a form of broadcast. A receive end does not feed back whether reception is successful or not to a transmit end.
LTE sidelink is designed to support two resource allocation modes: a scheduled resource allocation mode (typically referred to as mode-1) and an autonomous resource selection mode. In the former mode, a resource is allocated to each UE under control of a network-side device. In the latter mode, the UE autonomously selects a resource.
Starting from Release 15, LTE supports sidelink carrier aggregation (CA). Different from CA on Uu interface (that is, downlink and uplink), CA on LTE sidelink does not differentiate between a primary component carrier (PCC) and a secondary component carrier (SCC). The UE in the autonomous resource selection mode independently performs resource sensing and resource reservation on each CC.
LTE sidelink is designed to be applicable to specific public safety affairs (for example, emergency communication on a fire site or a disaster site such as an earthquake), vehicle to everything (V2X) communication, or the like. Vehicle to everything communication includes various services, for example, basic safety communication, advanced driving (self-driving), platooning, and sensor extension. LTE sidelink supports only broadcast communication, and therefore is mainly used for basic safety communication. Other advanced V2X services are supported by NR sidelink.
A 5G NR system may be used in a working band above 6 GHz that is not supported by LTE, and supports a larger working bandwidth. The NR system also supports sidelink interface communication for direct communication between terminals.
Sidelink transmission is mainly divided into the following transmission modes: broadcast, groupcast, and unicast. Unicast, as its name implies, is a one-to-one transmission. Groupcast is a one-to-many transmission. Broadcast is also a one-to-many transmission, however, in broadcast, there is no concept that UEs belong to a same group.
On a sidelink, the PSCCH carries SCI that is used for scheduling the PSSCH. The SCI may indicate transmission resources, and such resources are reserved for future transmissions. A PSFCH is used to feed back sidelink HARQ-ACK information. After determining sidelink HARQ information, a user can further transmit the sidelink HARQ information to a base station over a PUCCH or PUSCH.
4. Cast Type and HARQ Feedback Mode
NR sidelink supports broadcast, groupcast, and unicast transmission modes. Groupcast of NR sidelink supports use cases: connection-based groupcast and connectionless groupcast, where the connection-based groupcast means that a connection is established between UEs in groupcast, and the connectionless mode refers to a scenario in which a groupcast UE does not know other UEs in one group and no connection is established therebetween. In a case of groupcast, a plurality of receive ends support two mechanisms in performing HARQ feedback:
Mechanism 1 (NACK only feedback or connectionless mechanism): If data is received but cannot be decoded, NACK is fed back. No feedback is provided in other cases. In such case, if a transmitting party receives no NACK, all the receive ends are considered to have successfully received and decoded the data. However, this mechanism has one disadvantage: a transmitting party may confuse successful reception of data with unsuccessful reception of SCI by the receiving party. That is, although the receiving party has failed in reception of the SCI and data, the transmitting party assumes that the receiving party has successfully received the SCI and data. This manner is applicable to a connectionless groupcast scenario.
Mechanism 2 (ACK/NACK feedback or connection-based mechanism connection-based): If data is received but cannot be decoded, or SCI is received but no data is received, NACK is fed back; if data is received and decoded correctly, ACK is fed back. In this case, if a transmitting party receives NACK transmitted from one receive end user or receives no ACK or NACK, the transmitting party assumes that transmission to the user has failed; if the transmitting party receives ACK transmitted from one receive end, the transmitting party assumes that transmission to the user is successful. This manner is applicable to a connection-based groupcast scenario.
In related technologies, UE can control a transmit power of a physical sidelink feedback channel PSFCH based only on a path loss between a base station and a user. However, such power control manner may not match a current communication scenario (such as a unicast and/or groupcast scenario), resulting in low power control accuracy and additional transmit power overheads.
The following specifically describes the power control method provided in the embodiments of this application through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in
Step 201. Obtain a first path loss, where the first path loss is determined based on a sidelink SL path loss, or the first path loss is determined based on at least one of the SL path loss and a downlink DL path loss.
In this embodiment of this application, according to communication scenarios, the first path loss used for controlling a transmit power of a target transmission on a sidelink can be selected based on the SL path loss and DL path loss. For example, in the case of unicast, a power is calculated based on an SL path loss between users.
Step 202. Control a transmit power of a target transmission on a sidelink based on the first path loss.
In this step, the target transmission may be a feedback, an SSB, a discovery signal, data, a control or reference signal (RS), or the like. The controlling a transmit power of a target transmission may be understood as calculating the transmit power of the target transmission.
In this embodiment of this application, the first path loss is obtained, where the first path loss is determined based on the sidelink SL path loss, or the first path loss is determined based on at least one of the SL path loss and the downlink DL path loss; and the transmit power of the target transmission on the sidelink is controlled based on the first path loss. In this embodiment of this application, the transmit power of the target transmission on the sidelink can be controlled based on the SL path loss, for example, in the case of unicast, a power is calculated based on an SL path loss between users, so that a power control manner matches a current communication scenario. This can improve accuracy of power control in an SL transmission scenario and avoid additional transmit power overheads, thereby saving energy.
