The present disclosure relates to a field of communication technologies, and particularly to a method and an apparatus for power reporting, and a storage medium.
In the new radio (NR) technology, for example, when a communication band is in a frequency range 2 (FR2), beam-based transmission and reception are required to ensure coverage due to fast fading of a high-frequency channel.
In related art, when a terminal detects that to meet a maximum permissible exposure (MPE) requirement, a power management-maximum power reduction (P-MPR) needs to exceed a set MPE threshold, the terminal triggers reporting of P-MPR and/or power headroom report (PHR). Nevertheless, since a conventional terminal does not differentiate between a panel and a beam, the reporting of the P-MPR and/or a PHR is reported as a whole for the terminal.

Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numerals in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary examples do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure.
A method for power reporting according to embodiments of the present disclosure is applicable to a wireless communication system illustrated in
It should be understood that the wireless communication system in
It should be further understood that the wireless communication system according to embodiments of the disclosure is a network that provides a wireless communication function. The wireless communication system may adopt different communication technologies, such as code division multiple access (CDMA), wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), single carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA), or carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance. The networks, according to capacities, speeds, delays, and other factors of different networks, may be divided into a second generation (2G) network, a third generation (3G) network, a fourth generation (4G) network, or a future evolution network, such as a fifth generation (5G) network, which may also be called a new radio (NR) network. For convenience of descriptions, the wireless communication network may be referred simply as a network sometimes in the present disclosure.
Further, the network device involved in the present disclosure may also be referred to as a wireless access network device. The wireless access network device may be a base station, an evolved node B (eNB), a home base station, an access point (AP) in a wireless fidelity (WiFi) system, a wireless relay node, a wireless backhaul node, a transmission point (TP), a transmission and reception point (TRP), or the like: may also be a next generation base station (gNB) in an NR system; and may also be a component or a part of device that constitutes a base station. When it is a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication system, the network device may also be a vehicle-mounted device. It should be understood that the specific technology and specific device form adopted by the network device are not limited in embodiments of the present disclosure.
Further, the terminal according to the present disclosure may also be referred to as a terminal device, a user equipment (UE), a mobile station (MS), a mobile terminal (MT), or the like. The terminal may be a device providing voice and/or data connectivity for a user. For example, the terminal may be a handheld device with a wireless connection function, a vehicle-mounted device, or the like. Currently, some examples of the terminal are: mobile phones, pocket personal computers (PPCs), palmtop computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), laptops, tablets, wearable devices, vehicle-mounted devices, or the like. In addition, when it is a V2X communication system, the terminal device may also be a vehicle-mounted device. It should be understood that the specific technology and specific device form adopted by the terminal are not limited in embodiments of the present disclosure.
Beam-based data transmission is performed between the network device and the terminal in the present disclosure. During the beam-based data transmission, the network device (for example, the base station) may use a plurality of panels to send PDCCH to the terminal.
When the terminal monitors that there is a need to make a P-MPR larger than a set MPE threshold in order to meet an MPE requirement, the terminal triggers reporting of a P-MPR and/or a PHR. However, since a conventional terminal does not differentiate between a panel and a beam, the reporting of the P-MPR and/or the PHR is reported as a whole for the terminal.
Currently, when the terminal has a plurality of panels available for uplink communication, the terminal may perform P-MPR and/or PHR reporting based on the panel or the beam. For example, the terminal may report up to N P-MPRs, each of which corresponds to at most one available reference signal resource identification indication information. The reference signal resource identification indication information may be a synchronization signal and PBCH block resource indicator (SSBRI) or a channel state information-reference signal resource indicator (CRI).
However, in the current reporting scheme of the P-MPR and/or PHR performed based on the panel or the beam, the following scenarios occur:
Accordingly, the problem of signaling overhead waste caused by the panel-based or beam-based PHR reporting is a problem to be addressed.
Accordingly, in order to achieve better selection of uplink panel/beam while reducing the signaling overhead for reporting, the present disclosure proposes to report P-MPR indication information when an MPE requirement is measured to be satisfied and a P-MPR is greater than or equal to an MPE threshold, the P-MPR indication information is configured to indicate at least one P-MPR, or is configured to indicate at least one P-MPR and reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the at least one P-MPR, so that the network device can explicitly receive the P-MPR and/or the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the P-MPR, improving the transmission performance.
Referring to
The P-MPR indication information is configured to indicate at least one P-MPR, or is configured to indicate at least one P-MPR and reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the at least one P-MPR.
In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal may report the P-MPR indication information in response to measuring that the MPE requirement is met and the P-MPR is greater than or equal to an MPE threshold. Meeting the MPE requirement may be referred to as an occurrence of the MPE. The occurrence of the MPE can be understood as detecting by the terminal that if transmission power is not reduced by more than a threshold value, a radiation amount of at least one beam or panel would exceed the MPE, i.e., the MPE requirement cannot be met.
In the present disclosure, the terminal needs to perform a P-MPR adjustment to meet the MPE requirement. The P-MPR is required to be greater than or equal to the MPE threshold.
In the present disclosure, the MPE threshold can be understood to as a corresponding P-MPR value to keep the radiation of the beam and/or panel of the terminal from exceeding the MPE.
The reference signal resource identification indication information involved in the present disclosure may be an SSBRI or may be a CRI.
In the present disclosure, in a case that the terminal measures there is a need to make the P-MPR greater than or equal to the MPE threshold to meet the MPE requirement, the terminal reports the P-MPR indication information, the P-MPR indication information indicates at least one P-MPR, or indicates at least one P-MPR and reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the at least one P-MPR, so that the terminal can perform the reporting of the P-MPR, or the P-MPR and the reference signal resource identification indication information according to the actual situation, which enables the network device to clarify the P-MPR and the reference signal resource identification indication information reported by the terminal, realizing a better selection of the panel or the beam, and improving the communication performance.
In the present disclosure, in order to reduce the signaling overhead of the reporting, the at least one P-MPR indicated by the P-MPR indication information includes a P-MPR that is greater than or equal to the MPE threshold. Hereinafter, the P-MPR that is greater than or equal to the MPE threshold is referred to as a first P-MPR.
In the present disclosure, in order to further reduce the signaling overhead of the reporting, the number of the first P-MPR included in the at least one P-MPR indicated by the P-MPR indication information is one. That is, the terminal reports at most one first P-MPR with a P-MPR value greater than or equal to the MPE threshold.
In the present disclosure, the first P-MPR does not have corresponding reference signal resource identification indication information. For example, the first P-MPR does not have a corresponding SSBRI/CRI.
In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the P-MPR indication information reported by the terminal may be configured to indicate whether another P-MPR (hereinafter referred to as a second P-MPR) different from the first P-MPR exists, or may be configured to indicate whether reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the second P-MPR exists. In the present disclosure, for convenience of description, the indication information, configured to indicate whether the second P-MPR and/or the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the second P-PMR exists, is referred to as existence indication information.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the P-MPR indication information reported by the terminal may be configured to indicate the second P-MPR or may be configured to indicate the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the second P-PMR.
To sum up, the P-MPR indication information reported by the terminal may be configured to indicate at least one of:
In an implementation of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the existence indication information indicates existence, and the P-MPR indication information indicates the second P-MPR and the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the second P-MPR.
In response to determining the existence of the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the second P-MPR, the existence indication information indicates the existence, and the P-MPR indication information indicates the second P-MPR and the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the second P-MPR.
In another implementation of the present disclosure, the existence indication information indicates non-existence.
In response to determining the non-existence of the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the second P-MPR, the existence indication information indicates the non-existence.
In the present disclosure, in response to determining the non-existence of the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the second P-MPR, the terminal may report P-MPR indication information which does not contain the second P-MPR and does not contain the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the second P-MPR, to save signaling overhead for reporting the P-MPR.
In the present disclosure, in response to determining the existence of the second P-MPR, the second P-MPR may be reported: in response to determining the existence of the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the second P-MPR, the second P-MPR and the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the second P-MPR may be reported.
In an implementation, the P-MPR indication information is configured to indicate N second P-MPRs, and reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to each of the N second P-MPRs, where N is an integer greater than 0.
In the present disclosure, in a case that the terminal reports the N second P-MPRs and the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to each of the N second P-MPRs, the terminal reports the N second P-MPRs and the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to each of the N second P-MPRs in a certain reporting order.
In the present disclosure, according to the reporting order of the N second P-MPRs and the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to each of the N second P-MPRs, a bit position occupied by the reference signal resource identification indication information may be determined. In an implementation, in the present disclosure, the N second P-MPRs and the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to each of the N second P-MPRs may be reported in an order of bit positions from low to high. Alternatively, in the present disclosure, the N second P-MPRs and the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to each of the N second P-MPRs may be reported in an order of bit positions from high to low.
Bit positions occupied by the N second P-MPRs and the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to each of the N second P-MPRs that are included in the P-MPR indication information, are determined based on a predetermined rule.
In an implementation, the predetermined rule is determined based on at least one of:
A: a value size of the second P-MPR.
In an example, the smaller the second P-MPR value, the higher the reporting order.
B: a reference signal receiving power (RSRP) corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information.
In an example of the present disclosure, the reporting order of the second P-MPRs and the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the second P-MPRs may be determined based on a layer 1 (L1) or an L3-RSRP.
In an example of the present disclosure, the larger the L1-RSRP value, the higher the reporting order.
C: a signal to interference noise ratio (SINR) corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information.
In an example of the present disclosure, the larger the L1-SINR or L3-SINR value, the higher the reporting order.
D: a difference between a RSRP corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information and a value of the corresponding second P-MPR.
In an example, the larger the difference between the L1-RSRP and the corresponding second P-MPR value or the larger the difference between the L3-RSRP and the corresponding second P-MPR value, the higher the reporting order.
E: a difference between a SINR corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information and a value of the corresponding second P-MPR.
In an example, the larger the difference between the L1-SINR and the corresponding second P-MPR value or the larger the difference between the L3-SINR and the corresponding second P-MPR value, the higher the reporting order.
F: a power headroom corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information.
In an example, the larger the power headroom value, the higher the reporting order.
G: a sum of an RSRP and a power headroom corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information.
In an example, the larger the sum of the L1-RSRP and the power headroom corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information or the larger the sum of the L3-RSRP and the power headroom corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information, the higher the reporting order.
H: a sum of an SINR and a power headroom corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information.
In an example, the larger the sum of the L1-SINR and the power headroom corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information or the larger the sum of the L3-SINR and the power headroom corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information, the higher the reporting order.
The reporting order being higher mentioned above in the present disclosure, may be understood as follows:
On the one hand, in a case that the reporting order is to report the N second P-MPRs and the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to each of the N second P-MPRs in the order of bit positions from low to high, the second P-MPR and/or the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the second P-MPR with the higher reporting order occupies a lower bit position.
On the other hand, in a case that the reporting order is to report the N second P-MPRs and the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to each of the N second P-MPRs in the order of bit positions from high to low, the second P-MPR and/or the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the second P-MPR with the higher reporting order occupies a higher bit position.
Based on the method for reporting power provided above in the present disclosure, the terminal reports at most one first P-MPR with the P-MPR value greater than or equal to the MPE threshold, and the first P-MPR does not have corresponding reference signal resource identification indication information (such as SSBRI/CRI). For other second P-MPR, if there is no reference signal resource identification indication information (such as SSBRI/CRI) available for that second P-MPR, no second P-MPR and corresponding reference signal resource identification indication information are fed back. If there is available reference signal resource identification indication information (such as SSBRI/CRI) for this second P-MPR, the second P-MPR and the corresponding reference signal resource identification indication information (such as SSBRI/CRI) are fed back. In a case that the terminal reports the second P-MPR and the corresponding reference signal resource identification indication information, the terminal feeds back according to a certain order of performance parameters, so as to provide a reference to the network device for selecting better reference signal resource identification indication information (such as SSBRI/CRI) as an uplink transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state.
Table 1 below shows a format of P-MPR indication information illustrated in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to Table 1, P-MPR #1 is a value greater than or equal to the MPE threshold and no SSBRI/CRI is available, where R refers to a reserve. For P-MPR #2 and P-MPR #3 with values both less than the MPE threshold and for which the available SSBRI/CRI exists, the corresponding existence indication information (AC value) indicates existence. The bit positions of P-MPR #2 and SSBRI/CRI #1 are higher than those of P-MPR #3 and SSBRI/CRI due to the fact that a certain performance parameter (e.g., RSRP, SINR, power headroom, etc.) of SSBRI/CRI #1 is better than that of SSBRI/CRI #2.
The present disclosure provides a method for power reporting. By designing the reporting method of the P-MPR and the corresponding SSBRI/CRI, the signaling overhead is reduced while more reference information is provided for the network device, which facilitates the network device to select a more appropriate SSBRI/CRI as the uplink TCI state, thereby improving the uplink transmission performance.
Based on the same idea, the present disclosure provides a method for reporting power, applied to the network device.
Referring to
Step S21, the P-MPR indication information reported by a terminal is obtained.
The P-MPR indication information is configured to indicate at least one P-MPR, or is configured to indicate at least one P-MPR and reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the at least one P-MPR.
In the present disclosure, the P-MPR indication information may be reported in response to measuring by the terminal that the MPE requirement is met and the P-MPR is greater than or equal to an MPE threshold. Meeting the MPE requirement may be referred to as an occurrence of the MPE. The occurrence of the MPE can be understood as detecting by the terminal that if transmission power is not reduced by more than a threshold value, a radiation amount of at least one beam or panel would exceed the MPE, i.e., the MPE requirement cannot be met.
In an implementation, the at least one P-MPR indicated by the P-MPR indication information includes a first P-MPR. The first P-MPR is greater than or equal to an MPE-threshold.
In the present disclosure, in order to further reduce the signaling overhead of the reporting, the number of the first P-MPR included in the at least one P-MPR indicated by the P-MPR indication information is one.

C: reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to a second P-PMR.
In an implementation, the existence indication information indicates existence, and the P-MPR indication information indicates the second P-MPR and the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the second P-MPR.
In response to the existence indication information indicating the existence, and the P-MPR indication information indicating the second P-MPR and the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the second P-MPR, the network device determines that the second P-MPR exists, and that the second P-MPR has the corresponding reference signal resource identification indication information.
In an implementation, the existence indication information indicates non-existence.
In response to the existence indication information indicates non-existence, the network device determines that the second P-MPR does not exist and the corresponding reference signal resource identification indication information does not exist.
In an implementation, the P-MPR indication information is configured to indicate N second P-MPRs, and reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to each of the second P-MPRs, where Nis an integer greater than 0.
In an implementation, bit positions occupied by the N second P-MPRs and the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to each second P-MPR are determined based on a predetermined rule.
The predetermined rule is determined based on at least one of:
In an implementation, the predetermined rule is determined based on at least one of:
A: a value size of the second P-MPR.
In an example, the smaller the second P-MPR value, the higher the reporting order.
B: an RSRP corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information.
In an example of the present disclosure, the reporting order of the second P-MPR and the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the second P-MPR may be determined based on a layer 1 (L1) or L3-RSRP.
In an example of the present disclosure, the larger the L1-RSRP value, the higher the reporting order.
C: an SINR corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information.
In an example of the present disclosure, the larger the L1-SINR or L3-SINR value, the higher the reporting order.
D: a difference between an RSRP corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information and a value of the corresponding second P-MPR.
In an example, the larger the difference between the L1-RSRP and the corresponding second P-MPR value or the larger the difference between the L3-RSRP and the corresponding second P-MPR value, the higher the reporting order.
E: a difference between a SINR corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information and a value of the corresponding second P-MPR.
In an example, the larger the difference between the L1-SINR and the corresponding second P-MPR value or the larger the difference between the L3-SINR and the corresponding second P-MPR value, the higher the reporting order.
F: a power headroom corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information.
In an example, the larger the power headroom value, the higher the reporting order.
G: a sum of an RSRP and a power headroom corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information.
In an example, the larger the sum of the L1-RSRP and the power headroom corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information or the larger the sum of the L3-RSRP and the power headroom corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information, the higher the reporting order.
H: a sum of an SINR and a power headroom corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information.
In one example, the larger the sum of the L1-SINR and the power headroom corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information or the larger the sum of the L3-SINR and the power headroom corresponding to the reference signal resource identification indication information, the higher the reporting order.
The reporting order being higher mentioned above in the present disclosure, may be understood as follows:
On the one hand, in a case that the reporting order is to report the N second P-MPRs and the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to each of the N second P-MPRs in the order of bit positions from low to high, the second P-MPR and/or the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the second P-MPR with the higher reporting order occupies a lower bit position.
On the other hand, in a case that the reporting order is to report the N second P-MPRs and the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to each of the N second P-MPRs in the order of bit positions from high to low, the second P-MPR and/or the reference signal resource identification indication information corresponding to the second P-MPR with the higher reporting order occupies a higher bit position.
The method for power reporting provided by the present disclosure, by designing the reporting method of the P-MPR and the corresponding SSBRI/CRI, reduces signaling overhead while provides more reference information to the network device, which facilitates the network device to select a more appropriate SSBRI/CRI as the uplink TCI state, thereby improving the uplink transmission performance.
