DETAILED DESCRIPTION

As mentioned in background, in a downlink system of the NR system, for a De-Modulation Reference Signal (DMRS), there is already a solution to determine a reference point for mapping a sequence.

Specifically, for a DMRS used for demodulating a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), if a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) for scheduling the PDSCH is associated with a Controlresource set 0 (CORESET 0) and a Type0-PDCCH common search space, and a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) of the PDCCH is scrambled by a System Information Radio Network Tempory Identity (SI-RNTI), a reference point is a subcarrier 0 of a resource block with a smallest number in a resource block where the CORESET 0 is located. In other cases, the reference point is a subcarrier 0 of a Common resource block 0.

For a DMRS used for demodulating a PDCCH, if a CORESET associated with the PDCCH is configured by a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) or configured by a controlResourceSetZero in a PDCCH-ConfigCommon, a reference point is a subcarrier 0 of a resource block with a smallest number in a resource block where the CORESET is located. In other cases, the reference point is a subcarrier 0 of a Common resource block 0.

For a DMRS used for demodulating a PBCH, a reference point is a subcarrier 0 of a resource block with a smallest number in a resource block where the PBCH is located.

Inventors of the present disclosure has found through research that, for the common reference signal, a method for mapping a sequence of a common reference signal is needed.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal determines a reference point for mapping the sequence of the common reference signal, and maps the sequence of the common reference signal based on the reference point for obtaining data of the common reference signal. According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, by determining the reference point for mapping the sequence of the common reference signal, the mapping of the sequence of the common reference signal can be realized for obtaining data of the common reference signal. This remedies the existing technology, so that a demodulation of a downlink shared channel, a control channel and a broadcast channel can be realized.

In order to clarify the object, characteristic and advantages of embodiments of the present disclosure, the embodiments of present disclosure will be described clearly in detail in conjunction with accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a flowchart of a method for mapping a sequence of a common reference signal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method may include S11 and S12.

In S11, a terminal determines a reference point for mapping the sequence of the common reference signal.

In S12, the terminal maps the sequence of the common reference signal based on the reference point for obtaining data of the common reference signal.

In the specific implementation of S11, due to the reference point is determined based on the common reference signal, compared with the existing technology which is based on DMRS to divide focusing on the time domain resource. For signals carried on different time domain resources, the reference point is determined in different ways.

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 schematically illustrates a flowchart of a specific implementation of S11 in FIG. 1. The method may include S21 and S22, and may also include S23 and S24, which will be described below.

In S21, a terminal determines a time slot with a Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB).

In S22, in the time slot with the SSB, the terminal determines the reference point for mapping the sequence of the common reference signal based on a resource block where the SSB is located.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal may determine the time slot with the SSB, and in the time slot with the SSB, determine the reference point for mapping the sequence of the common reference signal based on the resource block where the SSB is located. The reference point can be determined based on existing parameters of the SSB, so that the common reference signal can be mapped for obtaining the data of the common reference signal.

Further, the terminal determines the reference point for mapping the sequence of the common reference signal based on a resource block where the SSB is located, including: determining a subcarrier 0 of a resource block with a smallest number in the resource block where the SSB is located as a reference point for mapping a first sequence used for demodulating a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH). Wherein, the sequence of the common reference signal includes the first sequence used for demodulating the PB CH.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, for the PBCH, the terminal determines the subcarrier 0 of the resource block with the smallest number in the resource block where the SSB is located as the reference point for mapping the first sequence used for demodulating the PBCH. Compared with an existing protocol scheme which is only applicable to symbols where the CORESET 0 and the PDSCH scheduled by the CORESET0 is located, the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to all symbols of the common reference signal, so that the downlink shared channel, the control channel and the broadcast channel can be demodulated.

Further, for a sequence used for demodulating a CORESET 0 and/or a PDSCH scheduled by the CORESET0, the terminal may determine a reference point based on a resource block offset between the CORESET 0 and a resource block where a SSB is located.

It should be pointed out that an offset is defined as from a smallest RB index of a CORESET associated with a Type0-PDCCH Common search space (CSS) set to a smallest resource block index where a common resource block overlaps with a first resource block of SS/PBCH block, based on a subcarrier gap of a CORESET associated with a Type0-PDCCH CSS set provided by a subCarrierSpacingCommon.

Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 schematically illustrates a flowchart of a specific implementation of S22 in FIG. 2. S22 may include S31 and S32, and may also include S33, S34 and S35, which will be described below.

In S31, a terminal determines whether a resource block offset between a CORESET 0 and a resource block where a SSB is located is less than or equal to 0.

In S32, the terminal determines a subcarrier 0 of a resource block with a smallest number in the resource block where the SSB is located as a reference point for mapping a second sequence in response to the resource block offset between the CORESET 0 and the resource block where the SSB is located being less than or equal to 0.

Wherein, the sequence of the common reference signal includes the second sequence used for demodulating the CORESET 0 and/or a PDSCH scheduled by the CORESET 0.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, for the CORESET 0 and/or the PDSCH scheduled by the CORESET 0, the terminal may determine the subcarrier 0 of the resource block with the smallest number in the resource block where the SSB is located as the reference point. The embodiment of the present disclosure may be applied to the common reference signal, so that the downlink shared channel, the control channel and the broadcast channel can be demodulated.

In S33, the terminal determines whether the resource block offset between the CORESET 0 and the resource block where the SSB is located is greater than 0.

In S34, on the resource block where the SSB is located, the terminal determines a subcarrier 0 of a resource block with a smallest number in the resource block where the SSB is located as a reference point for mapping the second sequence in response to the resource block offset between the CORESET 0 and the resource block where the SSB is located being greater than 0.

In S35, on resource blocks other than the resource block where the SSB is located, the terminal determines a subcarrier 0 of a resource block with a smallest number in the resource block where the CORESET 0 is located as a reference point for mapping the second sequence in response to the resource block offset between the CORESET 0 and the resource block where the SSB is located being greater than 0. Wherein, resource blocks other than the resource block where the SSB is located are resource blocks in the time slot with the SSB.

Wherein, the sequence of the common reference signal includes the second sequence used for demodulating the CORESET 0 and/or a PDSCH scheduled by the CORESET 0.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, for the CORESET 0 and/or the PDSCH scheduled by the CORESET 0, in the resource block with the SSB, the terminal may determine the subcarrier 0 of the resource block with the smallest number in the resource block where the SSB is located as the reference point. In the resource block without the SSB, the terminal may determine the subcarrier 0 of the resource block with the smallest number in the resource block where the CORESET 0 is located as the reference point. The embodiment of the present disclosure may be applied to the common reference signal, so that the downlink shared channel, the control channel and the broadcast channel can be demodulated.

Further, the second sequence may be obtained by shifting the original sequence used for demodulating the CORESET 0 and/or the PDSCH scheduled by the CORESET 0 cyclically.

It should be pointed out that when the results obtained by determining the subcarrier 0 of the resource block with the smallest number in the resource block where the SSB is located as the reference point and by determining the subcarrier 0 of the resource block with the smallest number in the resource block where the CORESET 0 is located as the reference point are consistent, a number of bits of the cyclic shift may be 0.

When the results obtained by determining the sub carrier 0 of the resource block with the smallest number in the resource block where the SSB is located as the reference point and by determining the subcarrier 0 of the resource block with the smallest number in the resource block where the CORESET 0 is located as the reference point are inconsistent, the second sequence needs to be shifted cyclically.

Specifically, the sequence of the common reference signal includes a second sequence used for demodulating a CORESET 0 and/or a PDSCH scheduled by the CORESET 0. The terminal determines the reference point for mapping the sequence of the common reference signal based on the resource block where the SSB is located, including: determining whether a resource block offset between the CORESET 0 and the resource block where the SSB is located is greater than 0; determining a subcarrier 0 of a resource block with a smallest number in the resource block where the CORESET 0 is located in response to the resource block offset between the CORESET 0 and the resource block where the SSB is located being greater than 0; determining an original sequence used for demodulating the CORESET 0 and/or the PDSCH scheduled by the CORESET 0; shifting the original sequence cyclically for obtaining the second sequence; and determining the subcarrier 0 of the resource block with a smallest number in the resource block where the CORESET 0 is located as a reference point for mapping the second sequence.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal shifts the original sequence cyclically, so that the sequence of the common reference signal can be used for mapping to obtain the data of the common reference signal.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 2, in the specific implementation of S22, the terminal may determine a reference point based on an offset between a resource block where a SSB is located and the reference point.

Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 schematically illustrates a flowchart of another specific implementation of S22 in FIG. 2. S22 may include S41 and S42.

In S41, a terminal determines an offset between a resource block where a SSB is located and a reference point.

In S42, the terminal determines a reference point of a first sequence and a reference point of a second sequence based on a subcarrier 0 of a resource block with a smallest number in the resource block where the SSB 0 is located and the offset.

Wherein the sequence of the common reference signal includes the first sequence used for demodulating a PBCH, and the second sequence used for demodulating a CORESET 0 and/or a PDSCH scheduled by the CORESET 0.

Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 schematically illustrates a diagram of a time-frequency resource according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Specifically, in a time slot where the SSB is located, f0 represents a reference point for mapping a sequence used for demodulating a downlink control channel and a data channel in a PBCH, in a CORESET 0 and/or in a PDSCH scheduled by the CORESET0, M represents an offset between the reference point f0 and the SSB.

In a specific implementation, a value of M may be predefined, for example, the value of M is configured to be 100. Wherein, the value of M may be predefined by a protocol.

It should be pointed out that the offset is defined as the difference between a smallest resource block index where a common resource block overlaps with a first resource block of SS/PBCH block and an index of the common resource block where the reference point is located based on a subcarrier gap of the SSB.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal may determine the offset M between the reference point and the SSB, and determine a reference point f0 of a first sequence and a reference point f0 of a second sequence based on the resource block where the SSB is located and the offset M, the reference point f0 which is applied to the common reference signal can be determined, so that the downlink shared channel, the control channel and the broadcast channel can be demodulated.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 2, in S23, the terminal determines a time slot without a SSB.

In S24, in the time slot without the SSB, the terminal determines a subcarrier 0 of a common resource block 0 as the reference point for mapping the sequence of the common reference signal.
