When uplink information is transmitted by a user terminal, a plurality of transmission reception points may all receive the uplink information transmitted by the user terminal.
If an existing method for transmitting uplink information in a R15 is adopted, a transmission reception point cannot know whether it is a target transmission reception point.
Embodiments in the present disclosure provide a method for transmitting uplink information.

In an existing technology, different transmission reception points cannot recognize which transmission reception point a user terminal performs data transmission.
In embodiments of the present disclosure, based on identification information of a target transmission reception point in network configuration information, corresponding uplink information is generated and transmitted, so that each transmission reception point can know whether it is the target transmission reception point corresponding to the uplink information.
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.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for transmitting uplink information is provided, referring to
In S101, network configuration information is received.
In some embodiment, when a base station indicates a user terminal to perform data transmission with a plurality of transmission reception points, the base station can transmit downward network configuration information to the user terminal. The network configuration information can be used to indicate which target transmission reception point the user terminal communicates with.
In some embodiment of the present disclosure, network configuration information may include identification information for indicating a target transmission reception point. After the network configuration information is received by a user terminal, a user can know which transmission reception point to perform uplink information transmission with.
In some embodiment, a base station may transmit downward network configuration information to a user terminal through a higher layer signaling. For example, a base station may transmit downward network configuration information to a user terminal through a Radio Resource control (RRC) signaling. Or, a base station may transmit downward network configuration information to a user terminal through Downlink Control Information (DCI).
In S102, uplink information corresponding to identification information of a target transmission reception point is generated based on the network configuration information, and the uplink information is transmitted.
In some embodiment, identification information corresponding to uplink transmission resource configured for a same user terminal by different transmission reception points is different. Thus, after network configuration information is received by the user terminal, and the user terminal can determine which transmission reception point transmits downward the network configuration information based on the network configuration information. Thus, the user terminal can obtain identification information of a target transmission reception point based on the network configuration information.
In some embodiment, identification information corresponding to uplink transmission resource may be identification information corresponding to a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource.
For example, identification information corresponding to PUCCH resources configured for a user terminal by transmission reception point 1 is 0, 2, 4 and 6; identification information corresponding to PUCCH resources configured for the user terminal by transmission reception point 2 is 1, 3, 5 and 7. Transmission reception point 1 and transmission reception point 2 can inform the user terminal of the PUCCH resources used based on network configuration information. When the user terminal detects that identification information corresponding to PUCCH resources in the network configuration information is 0, 2, 4 and 6, the user terminal knows that the network configuration information is transmitted by transmission reception point 1, thus, the user terminal knows that an identification of a transmission reception point is 1.
In some embodiment, different downlink transmission resources may be used when information is transmitted to a same user terminal through different transmission reception points, and different downlink transmission resources correspond to different transmission reception points. Thus, the user terminal can obtain information of a transmission reception point corresponding to the downlink transmission resource based on the downlink transmission resource.
In some embodiment, identification information corresponding to a downlink transmission resource may be identification information corresponding to a control resource set (CORESET).
A user terminal can generate uplink information corresponding to the identification information of the target transmission reception point based on the identification information of the target transmission reception point, and transmit the uplink information.

When n is determined based on the uplink transmission resource, the n can be determined through a PUCCH resource.

In some embodiment, a modulo is performed for a value of a CORESET on 2, and a result obtained is taken as n.
In some embodiment, when an uplink information is a scrambling sequence of an uplink channel, the user terminal may obtain an initial value of a scrambling sequence of an uplink channel based on the identification information of the target transmission reception point; generate the scrambling sequence of the uplink channel based on the initial value of the scrambling sequence of the uplink channel, and adopting the scrambling sequence of the uplink channel to scramble the uplink information to be transmitted; and transmit the scrambled information.
In some embodiment, specific principle and process of generating the scrambling sequence of the uplink channel based on the initial value of the scrambling sequence of the uplink channel can be referred to an existing protocol, and thus are not described hereinafter.
In some embodiment, an initial value cinit of the scrambling sequence of the uplink channel can be calculated based on following formula:

Wherein, n is related to the identification information of the target transmission reception point, and different transmission reception points correspond to different values of n; nRNTI is obtained based on a C-RNTI; in response to nID being configured by a higher layer, the nID represents a data scrambling ID of a Physical Uplink Shared Channel configured by a higher layer, otherwise the nID represents a cell ID.
In practical applications, in above formula (2), except for n, physical meanings of other physical parameters can be referred to provisions in an existing protocol.

When n is determined based on the uplink transmission resource, the n can be determined through a PUCCH resource. When n is determined based on a downlink transmission resource, the n can be determined through a CORESET.

In some embodiment, the calculation rule of an initial value of an uplink reference signal generated by formula (1) and the calculation rule of an initial value of a scrambling sequence of an uplink channel generated by formula (2) can be both obtained by a user terminal and a target transmission reception point.
In some embodiment, uplink information transmitted by a user terminal can be generated based on identification information of a target transmission reception point. Thus, when the uplink information is received by a plurality of transmission reception points, the uplink information can be analyzed accordingly. Due to generation rules of initial values of uplink reference signals corresponding to different transmission reception points and generation rules of initial values of scrambling sequences scrambled by uplink channels are different, and the user terminal and the target transmission reception point know these generation rules. Thus, the uplink information can be analyzed correctly by a target transmission reception point only.
In some embodiment, a user terminal may feed corresponding transmission data back to a target transmission reception point and other transmission reception points based on network configuration information. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the transmission data fed back to the target transmission reception point and the other transmission reception points by the user terminal may be HARQ-ACK information, and an uplink transmission resource used by the user terminal is a PUCCH resource.
A user terminal may detect whether an uplink transmission resource corresponding to a target transmission reception point and uplink transmission resources corresponding to other transmission reception points overlap, a logical AND operation is performed on transmission data of the uplink transmission resource corresponding to the target transmission reception point and transmission data of uplink transmission resources corresponding to other transmission reception points, in response to detecting that the uplink transmission resource corresponding to the target transmission reception point and uplink transmission resources corresponding to other transmission reception points overlap, and transmit a result of the logical AND operation as uplink information.
For example, HARQ-ACK information carried in a PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP1 (transmission reception 1) by a user terminal is ACK, HARQ-ACK information carried in a PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP2 (transmission reception 2) is NACK. When the PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP1 and the PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP2 overlap, the user terminal performs a logical AND operation on the HARQ-ACK information carried in the PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP1 and the HARQ-ACK information carried in the PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP2, that is, performs a logical AND operation on ACK and NACK, and the result is NACK. Thus, HARQ-ACK information fed back to TRP1 and TRP2 respectively is NACK. The user terminal performing a logical AND operation on ACK and NACK means that taking ACK as a logical 1, and taking NACK as a logical 0, a result of the logical AND operation on ACK and NACK is 0 which is correspond to NACK.
For another example, HARQ-ACK information carried in a PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP1 (transmission reception 1) by a user terminal is ACK, HARQ-ACK information carried in a PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP2 (transmission reception 2) is ACK. When the PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP1 and the PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP2 overlap, the user terminal performs a logical AND operation on the HARQ-ACK information carried in the PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP1 and the HARQ-ACK information carried in the PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP2, that is, performs a logical AND operation on ACK and ACK, and the result is ACK. Thus, HARQ-ACK information fed back to TRP1 and TRP2 by the user terminal respectively is ACK.
For another example, HARQ-ACK information carried in a PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP1 (transmission reception 1) by a user terminal is NACK, HARQ-ACK information carried in a PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP2 (transmission reception 2) is NACK. When the PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP1 and the PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP2 overlap, the user terminal performs a logical AND operation on the HARQ-ACK information carried in the PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP1 and the HARQ-ACK information carried in the PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP2, that is, performs a logical AND operation on NACK and NACK, and the result is NACK. Thus, HARQ-ACK information fed back to TRP1 and TRP2 by the user terminal respectively is NACK.
It should be noted that an uplink transmission resource overlapping in embodiments of the present disclosure may include any one of overlaps including an overlap in time domain, an overlap in a frequency domain, and an overlap in time-frequency domain. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the uplink transmission resource overlap may be an overlap on some symbol, or a complete overlap in time domain and frequency domain.
In practical applications, when PUCCH resources transmitted to different TRPs by a user terminal overlap, the user terminal can only transmit HARQ-ACK information to one of the TRPs. However, the HARQ-ACK information transmitted by the user terminal may be received by a plurality of TRPs.
Assuming that a PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP1 by the user terminal and a PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP2 by the user terminal overlap, HARQ-ACK information fed back to TRP1 by a user terminal is NACK, HARQ-ACK information fed back to TRP2 by a user terminal is ACK. However, the user terminal can only feed back the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to TRP1 or feed back the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to TRP2. If the user terminal feed the HARQ-ACK information back to TRP2, TRP1 may also receive the HARQ-ACK information transmitted by the user terminal, and the HARQ-ACK information received by TRP1 is ACK. However, HARQ-ACK information corresponding to TRP1 should be NACK.
In other word, HARQ-ACK information received by TRP1 may not be HARQ-ACK information which a user terminal needs to feed back to TRP1. If TRP1 receives ACK as HARQ-ACK information, it is determined that the user terminal receives correctly, however, the user terminal does not correctly receive data transmitted by TRP1. In this case, the user terminal may not be able to communicate with TRP1 normally.
In embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to avoid the above situation, a logical AND operation is performed on HARQ-ACK information carried in a PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP1 and HARQ-ACK information carried in a PUCCH resource transmitted to TRP2 by a user terminal. If HARQ-ACK information carried in a PUCCH resource transmitted to any one of TRPs is NACK, HARQ-ACK information transmitted by the user terminal is NACK which makes both TRP1 and TRP2 retransmit to the user terminal, and the user terminal in return re-feed back to TRP1 and TRP2, which avoids a situation that the user terminal cannot communicate with TRP1 normally.
