Description

Information transmission method, terminal and network equipment

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to an information transmission method, a terminal, and a network device.

Background

In a mobile communication system, a terminal can tightly couple different systems through a Dual Connectivity (DC) manner. One system serves as a Master Node (MN), and the other system serves as a Secondary Node (SN). In a dual connectivity system, two Cell groups are included, namely, a Master Cell Group (MSG) and a Secondary Cell Group (SCG), wherein the Master Cell Group may include one Primary Cell (PCell) and at least one Secondary Cell (SCell), and the Secondary Cell Group may include one Primary Secondary Cell (PSCell) and at least one SCell.

As shown in fig. 1, assuming that one of the systems of the dual connection uses a 1.8GHz spectrum and the other system uses a 3.5GHz spectrum, when the terminal simultaneously transmits uplink at 1.8GHz and 3.5GHz, due to the non-ideality of the transmitting link device, the table of the calculation of the intermodulation interference and the second harmonic interference of the two systems of the dual connection is shown in table 1:

TABLE 1 relationship table of frequency points of intermodulation and second harmonic

As shown in the above table, the data unit in the table is MHz, and the downlink received signal of the terminal at 1.8GHz may be affected by intermodulation interference generated by uplink at 1.8GHz and 3.5 GHz; the second harmonic of the 1.8GHz uplink may affect the 3.5GHz downlink received signal. When the terminal transmitting power is large, the downlink receiving sensitivity fallback caused by intermodulation interference and second harmonic interference can reach the magnitude of 20dB, and the performance of a downlink is influenced.

In addition to the above LTE-NR dual connection scenario, terminal self-interference such as harmonic waves and cross-tones may be generated, other scenarios such as NR-NR dual connection, carrier aggregation, and Supplementary Uplink (SUL), coexistence of dual connection + SUL, WIFI and LTE, coexistence of WIFI and NR, and the like may also generate terminal self-interference, which includes various orders of harmonic waves, cross-tones, and harmonic mixtures, and the like, and may affect the performance of the middle-end downlink.

An embodiment of the present invention provides an information transmission method, which is applied to a terminal, and as shown in fig. 2, the method includes the following steps:

step 21: a first signal is transmitted on a first time-frequency resource.

The first time-frequency resource may be suggested by the terminal, configured or predefined (e.g., agreed by a protocol) by the network device, or the like. The first time frequency resource may be a periodic resource or an aperiodic resource. For example, based on a Resource Block (RB), wherein an RB includes 12 subcarriers, the 4 th subcarrier and the 8 th subcarrier thereof are set to 1, and the remaining subcarriers are set to 0 as the first signal. The time domain length of the first signal is 5 2048-point OFDM symbols.

Step 22: and performing self-interference estimation on the self-interference generated by the first signal on the second time-frequency resource to obtain a self-interference parameter.

The second time-frequency resource is: the second time frequency resource is a time frequency resource affected by the self-interference of the first signal. The second time-frequency resource and the first time-frequency resource satisfy a specific relationship in the frequency domain, for example, the frequency domain range of the second time-frequency resource is an integer multiple, a fractional multiple of the frequency domain range of the first time-frequency resource, or a range related to a difference value of different frequency domain ranges. For example, second-order intermodulation interference generated by the 1.8GHz uplink signal and the 3.5GHz uplink signal may affect the downlink received signal of the terminal near 1.8 GHz; the second harmonic of the 1.8GHz uplink signal can affect the downlink received signal near 3.5 GHz. Further, the second time-frequency resource at least partially overlaps the first time-frequency resource in time domain, in a special embodiment, the time domain range of the second time-frequency resource includes the time domain range of the first time-frequency resource, or both time domain ranges overlap or coincide, so that the complete self-interference signal of the first signal can be estimated.

Wherein the self-interference parameters include: at least one of a first parameter related to harmonic interference, a second parameter related to harmonic hybrid interference, and a third parameter related to intermodulation interference. For the first parameter, the second parameter and the third parameter, the specific parameter items include: channel values of a channel of self-interference, associated parameter terms of a self-interference model (used to reconstruct self-interference), or other parameter terms, etc. The terminal can calculate the self-interference signal of the uplink signal according to the self-interference parameters. It is worth pointing out that

steps

21 and 22 are self-interference estimation and training processes, which may be periodic or based on network device indication. Assuming that the process is periodic, the self-interference parameter is not changed within one period. Assuming that the procedure is based on network device indication, the terminal will keep the self-interference parameters unchanged until the network device indicates the terminal to resume self-interference estimation. Therefore, the terminal does not need to carry out self-interference estimation and training each time under the condition of determining the self-interference, the processing workload of the terminal can be reduced, and the electric energy is saved.

Step 23: and under the condition of self-interference, performing self-interference elimination on the received second signal according to the self-interference parameter.

The second signal includes a downlink signal (or called a useful signal) sent by the network device and a self-interference signal generated by an uplink signal sent by the terminal, where the self-interference signal may affect the downlink signal. The terminal reconstructs a self-interference signal corresponding to the uplink signal according to the self-interference parameter estimated and trained in step 22 and the uplink signal, and eliminates the self-interference signal from the second signal, so as to improve the reliability of the downlink signal and improve the downlink transmission performance.

In the embodiment of the present invention, before step 21, the method further includes: and receiving configuration information of the first signal from the network equipment, wherein the configuration information is used for instructing the terminal to send the first signal. The configuration information of the embodiment of the present invention may be carried in a first signaling, and the terminal receives the first signaling sent by the network device, where the first signaling instructs the terminal to send a first signal on a first time-frequency resource. The first signaling may be that the network device determines and issues the terminal, or that the network device issues the terminal after receiving the terminal request. Taking the terminal request as an example, the terminal further includes, before the step of receiving the configuration information of the first signal from the network device: sending request information (or called request authorization) to the network equipment; the request information is used to request the network device to send configuration information of the first signal, that is, the request information is used to indicate that the terminal has a need of self-interference estimation and needs to send the first signal. The request information may also include the type of self-interference, such as harmonic interference, harmonic mixed interference, cross-modulation interference, and the like. The first time-frequency resource for sending the first signal may be suggested by the terminal, and in order to save signaling, the terminal may carry the suggested first time-frequency resource in the request information sent to the network device.

Further, for scenarios such as dual connectivity DC, Carrier Aggregation (CA), NR SUL transmission in a specific frequency band, due to non-ideal characteristics of a terminal transmission link, self-interference problems such as harmonic interference, harmonic mixing (harmonic mixing) interference, or cross-modulation interference may be generated when one or more uplink links of the terminal transmit, and the terminal needs to transmit a first signal for self-interference estimation. The network device sends configuration information of the first signal to the terminal, where the configuration information may be sent to the terminal by one of at least one network device that maintains a connection with the terminal.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the configuration information of the first signal includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following information:

first indication information indicating a first time-frequency resource; when the configuration information is carried in a first signaling sent by the network equipment, the content of the first signaling indication comprises a time frequency resource for sending a first signal; for example, the content of the first signaling indication includes at least one of time domain resources and frequency domain resources on which the first signal is transmitted.

Second indication information indicating a transmission power of the first signal; when the configuration information is carried in a first signaling sent by the network device, the content of the first signaling indication includes the transmission power of the first signal sent by the terminal. Wherein one first signaling may indicate one or more transmit powers and when one first signaling indicates multiple transmit powers, the terminal may traverse different transmit powers, e.g., by a step size of 2 dB. Specifically, when the self-interference is the cross-modulation interference, the terminal needs to traverse various combinations of different transmission powers of at least two uplink frequency points.

Third indication information indicating a transmission antenna of the first signal; when the configuration information is carried in a first signaling sent by the network device, the content of the first signaling indication includes a transmitting antenna for the terminal to send the first signal, and taking NR 2Tx as an example, the first signaling may indicate which of the 2Tx transmitting antennas is the transmitting antenna for sending the first signal.

Fourth indication information indicating a Timing Advance (TA) corresponding to the first signal; when the configuration information is carried in a first signaling sent by the network device, the content of the first signaling indication includes TAs at which the terminal sends the first signal, where one first signaling indication indicates one or more TAs, and when the first signaling indication indicates multiple TAs, the terminal may traverse different TAs. Specifically, when the self-interference is the cross-modulation interference, the terminal needs to traverse various combinations of different TAs of at least two uplink frequency points. It is worth noting that self-interference impact and estimation may be different for different scenarios.

And fifth indication information indicating sequence parameters of a transmission sequence of the first signal, wherein the sequence parameters include, but are not limited to, sequence format, sequence kind, and the like. When the configuration information is carried in a first signaling sent by the network device, the content of the first signaling indication includes what sequence the first signal sent by the terminal has, and a sequence parameter used when the terminal generates the first signal sequence. The set of the sequence format, the sequence type, and the sequence parameter may be predefined (as agreed by a protocol) or configured by the network device side, and the specific sequence format, the sequence type, and the sequence parameter are indicated by the network device side.

Further, in order to ensure that the terminal performs better self-interference estimation, before step 22, the method further includes: and sending a prohibition request for prohibiting downlink transmission on a third time domain resource to the network equipment, wherein the third time domain resource and the second time frequency resource are at least partially overlapped in the time domain. That is, the terminal sends a prohibition request to one of the network devices that maintain connection, so as to request the network device not to perform downlink transmission on the third time-frequency resource, and thus if a signal is received on the third time-frequency resource, all the signals are self-interference signals. Specifically, the terminal requests the second base station for harmonic interference of an EN-DC scene, and requests the first base station for intermodulation interference of the EN-DC scene. The third time-frequency resource may be suggested by the terminal, predefined (e.g., agreed by a protocol), or determined according to the first time-frequency resource and a preset rule. Specifically, the third time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource associated with the second time-frequency resource, for example, the time-frequency resources of the second time-frequency resource and the third time-frequency resource are the same, or the third time-frequency resource is the second time-frequency resource plus a time-domain or frequency-domain guard band, that is, the third time-frequency resource includes all the time-frequency resources of the second time-frequency resource, so that on the second time-frequency resource, the terminal only receives the self-interference signal, and has no influence of other downlink signals, and the terminal can better perform self-interference estimation.

The embodiment of the invention is suitable for scenes such as DC, CA, SUL and the like. The frequency point corresponding to the first time frequency resource is a first system frequency point, and the frequency point corresponding to the second time frequency resource is a related frequency point which is integral multiple or fractional multiple of the first system frequency point. Taking EN-DC as an example, the frequency point corresponding to the first time-frequency resource is 1.8GHz, the frequency point corresponding to the second time-frequency resource is 3.6GHz, and the second harmonic interference signal generated on the second time-frequency resource may affect the downlink signal of 3.6 GHz. Or the frequency point corresponding to the first time-frequency resource is 3.5GHz, the frequency point corresponding to the second time-frequency resource is 1.75GHz, and the harmonic mixed interference signal generated on the second time-frequency resource can affect the downlink signal of 1.75 GHz.

In addition, the frequency points corresponding to the first time frequency resource are a first system frequency point and a second system frequency point, and the frequency points corresponding to the second time frequency resource are related frequency points of the difference value between the first system frequency point and the second system frequency point. Taking EN-DC as an example, the frequency points corresponding to the first time-frequency resource are 1.8GHz and 3.5GHz, the frequency point corresponding to the second time-frequency resource is 1.7GHz, and the intermodulation interference signal generated on the second time-frequency resource can affect the downlink signal of 1.7 GHz.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the step 21 may be implemented by: and if the frequency point corresponding to the first time frequency resource is the first system frequency point, transmitting a first signal on at least two subcarriers of the first system frequency point. I.e. the first signal is a dual frequency signal. Or, if the frequency points corresponding to the first time frequency resource are the first system frequency point and the second system frequency point, the first signal is sent on at least two subcarriers of the first system frequency point and at least two subcarriers of the second system frequency point. That is, the first signal is transmitted on two subcarriers corresponding to a certain system frequency point (dual-band signal), or transmitted on a plurality of subcarriers.

Further, the first time frequency resource includes at least a part of idle time domain resources of at least one system keeping connection with the terminal, and the idle time domain resources include: at least one of an idle subframe, an idle slot, an idle time domain symbol, a subframe for a guard period, a slot for a guard period, and a time domain symbol for a guard period. For example, the first time-frequency resource is located in or includes an idle time slot of the system, such as Guard Period (GP) of LTE system, or flexible symbol (flexible symbol) of NR system.

In the embodiment of the invention, under the condition of self-interference, self-interference elimination is carried out on the received second signal according to the self-interference parameter. Wherein the second signal comprises: the downlink signal sent by the network device and the self-interference signal generated by the terminal uplink signal, etc. may affect the downlink signal.

Before the step of self-interference elimination, the method further comprises the following steps: transmitting a synchronization signal on a fourth time-frequency resource according to the synchronization indication information; receiving a synchronization signal on a fifth time-frequency resource; and carrying out synchronization according to the synchronization signal. The sequence adopted by the synchronization signal may be a time domain Chu sequence or other types of sequences;

chu sequence generation formula:

wherein N is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to N_ZC，N_ZC839, u is a constant. The time domain length of the synchronization signal may be 1 OFDM symbol. And the fifth time frequency resource and the fourth time frequency resource are at least partially overlapped on the time domain. The synchronization indication information may be sent by the network device to the terminal, that is, before the step of sending the synchronization signal on the fourth time-frequency resource according to the synchronization indication information, the method further includes: synchronization instruction information is received from the network device side. Wherein the synchronization indication information may be carried in the second signaling. That is, the terminal receives the network device transmissionAnd sending a second signaling, wherein the second signaling instructs the terminal to send the synchronization signal on the fourth time-frequency resource and receive the synchronization signal on the fifth time-frequency resource for synchronization. And the fifth time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource influenced by a self-interference signal of the synchronization signal sent on the fourth time-frequency resource.

The first Signal for self-interference estimation mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention may be at least one of a tracking Reference Signal (SRS), a demodulation Reference Signal (De-Modulation Reference Signal, DMRS), a Random Access Channel (RACH) preamble, a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), and a dedicated Reference Signal. Wherein the dedicated reference signal may be a dedicated signal for self-interference estimation.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the time-frequency resources (e.g., the first time-frequency resource, the second time-frequency resource, the third time-frequency resource, etc.) include time-domain resources, frequency-domain resources, and time-frequency-domain resources.

In the information transmission method of the embodiment of the invention, the terminal can estimate and train the self-interference elimination related parameters according to the first signal sent by the terminal, further perform self-interference elimination on the received downlink signal, reduce the self-interference influence and improve the downlink performance.

The above embodiment describes the information transmission method of the present invention from the terminal side, and the following embodiment further describes the information transmission method of the network device side with reference to the drawings.

As shown in fig. 5, the information transmission method according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a network device side, and the method includes the following steps:

step 51: sending configuration information of a first signal for self-interference estimation to a terminal; the configuration information is used for instructing the terminal to transmit the first signal on the first time-frequency resource.

Wherein, the first time-frequency resource can be suggested by the terminal, configured or predefined by the network equipment, etc. The first time frequency resource may be a periodic resource or an aperiodic resource. For example, based on one RB, one RB includes 12 subcarriers, the 4 th subcarrier and the 8 th subcarrier are set to 1, and the rest subcarriers are set to 0 as the first signal. The time domain length of the first signal is 5 2048-point OFDM symbols. The configuration information may be carried in a first signaling, and the terminal receives the first signaling sent by the network device, where the first signaling instructs the terminal to send a first signal on a first time-frequency resource. The first signaling may be that the network device autonomously determines and issues the terminal, or that the network device issues the terminal after receiving a terminal request. Taking the terminal request as an example, step 51 includes: receiving request information from a terminal side; and sending the configuration information to the terminal according to the request information. The request information is used to request the network device to send configuration information of the first signal, that is, the request information is used to indicate that the terminal has a need of self-interference estimation and needs to send the first signal. The request information may also include the type of self-interference, such as harmonic interference, harmonic mixed interference, cross-modulation interference, and the like.

Wherein, step 51 further comprises: configuration information of the first signal is obtained. The acquisition modes include but are not limited to the following modes:

the first mode is that the network equipment autonomously determines, for example, according to the resource scheduling condition.

And the second mode is that the configuration information is received from the other network equipment side, wherein the other network equipment serves the terminal and is different from the network equipment.

The embodiment of the invention can be applied to the scenes of DC, CA, SUL transmission and the like under a specific frequency band, taking DC as an example, the network equipment can be one of a first base station and a second base station in a DC system, and correspondingly, other network equipment is the other one of the first base station and the second base station in the DC system.

And thirdly, receiving the reference configuration information of the first signal from the other network equipment side, and determining the configuration information sent to the terminal according to the reference configuration information.

Wherein the other network device serves the terminal and is different from the network device. The mode is a combination of the mode one and the mode two. It is assumed that the network device may be one of the first base station and the second base station in the DC system and accordingly the other network device is the other of the first base station and the second base station in the DC system. For example, the network device is a first base station, the other network devices are second base stations, the first base station receives reference configuration information of the first signal from the second base station, and the first base station determines configuration information for the first signal according to the received reference configuration information, resource scheduling and other conditions.

After the configuration information is determined by adopting the method, the method further comprises the following steps: and feeding back the configuration information to other network equipment, namely feeding back the finally determined configuration information to other network equipment.

In addition, step 51 may be that the network device directly sends the configuration information to the terminal, or that the configuration information is sent to other network devices and forwarded to the terminal by the other network devices. Specifically, step 51 includes: and sending the configuration information to other network equipment so that the other network equipment forwards the configuration information to the terminal, wherein the other network equipment serves the terminal and is different from the network equipment.

The first time-frequency resource in the embodiment of the present invention may correspond to a network device, that is, the first time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource of the network device. In addition, the first time-frequency resource may also correspond to other network devices, that is, the first time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource of other network devices. Taking the first network device as the first base station and the second network device as the second base station as an example, the first base station receives configuration information of self-interference estimation sent by the second base station, where the configuration information indicates that the terminal sends the first signal on the first time-frequency resource, where the first time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource of the first base station, that is, the terminal sends the first signal on the time-frequency resource of the first base station. In addition, the first time-frequency resource may also be a time-frequency resource of the second base station, that is, the terminal transmits the first signal on the time-frequency resource of the second base station.

The configuration information in the embodiment of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following information:

first indication information indicating a first time-frequency resource;

The description of the configuration information may refer to the terminal-side embodiment, and therefore, is not described herein again.

The first signal is used for estimating self-interference of the terminal, and in order to better improve performance of estimating self-interference, step 51 is followed by: and receiving a prohibition request for prohibiting downlink transmission on a third time frequency resource, wherein the third time frequency resource and the second time frequency resource are at least partially overlapped in a time domain, and the second time frequency resource and the first time frequency resource are at least partially overlapped in the time domain. That is, the terminal sends a prohibition request to one of the network devices that maintain connection, so as to request the network device not to perform downlink transmission on the third time-frequency resource, and thus if a signal is received on the third time-frequency resource, all the signals are self-interference signals. The third time-frequency resource may be suggested by the terminal, predefined (e.g., agreed by a protocol), or determined according to the first time-frequency resource and a preset rule. Specifically, the third time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource associated with the second time-frequency resource, for example, the time-frequency resources of the second time-frequency resource and the third time-frequency resource are the same, or the third time-frequency resource is the second time-frequency resource plus a guard band, that is, the third time-frequency resource includes all the time-frequency resources of the second time-frequency resource, so that on the second time-frequency resource, the terminal only receives the self-interference signal, and has no influence of other downlink signals, and the terminal can perform self-interference estimation better.

In the information transmission method of the embodiment of the present invention, the network device sends the configuration information of the first signal to the terminal to instruct the terminal to send the first signal for self-interference estimation, and the terminal may perform estimation and training of a relevant parameter for self-interference cancellation according to the first signal sent by the terminal itself, further perform self-interference cancellation on the received downlink signal, reduce the self-interference influence, and improve the performance of the downlink.
