在长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)或者高级长期演进(LTE-advanced,LTE-A)系统中,用户的上行信道测量是通过发送探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS)实现的,接入网设备通过测量接收到的SRS,获取上行的信道状态信息。目前,在LTE/LTE-A系统中,SRS信号传输采用连续物理资源块(physical resource block,PRB)的资源分配方式,不同系统带宽下有不同的SRS传输带宽配置,当配置的SRS传输带宽小于待测量信道带宽时,可通过多次跳频来完成对待测信道带宽的信道质量测量。

其中,接入网设备101具有共享信道的调度功能,具有基于发送到终端设备102的分组数据的历史来建立调度的功能,调度就是在多个终端设备102共用传输资源时,需要有一种机制来有效地分配物理层资源,以获得统计复用增益。另外,多个终端设备102可以位于该接入网设备101的服务小区中,接入网设备101的服务小区可以包括一个或者多个,服务小区也可以称为小区。终端设备102具有通过与接入网设备101之间建立的通信信道而发送和接收数据的功能。终端设备102根据接入网设备101通过调度控制信道发送的信息,进行共享信道的发送或接收处理。接入网设备101与终端设备102之间通过通信信道进行数据的接收和发送,该通信信道可以是无线通信信道,且在无线通信信道中,至少存在共享信道和调度控制信道,共享信道是为了发送和接收分组而在多个终端设备102之间公用,调度控制信道用于发送共享信道的分配、以及相应的调度结果等。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备102可以向接入网设备101发送参考信号(reference signal,RS),该参考信号可用于对信道质量进行测量、或者用于对终端设备102进行相干检测和数据解调等。具体地,终端设备102可以按照接入网设备101的指示发送参考信号,接入网设备101可以根据接收到的参考信号判断终端设备102上行的信道状态信息,并根据得到的信道状态信息进行相应的频域选择调度、功率控制等操作。

图2为本申请实施例提供的一种参考信号传输方法的流程示意图,该方法可应用于上述图1所示的通信系统中,参见图2,该方法包括以下几个步骤。
S201:接入网设备向终端设备发送第一配置信息,第一配置信息用于指示该终端设备在至少两个时刻传输参考信号的频域资源。
其中,至少两个时刻是指参考信号的至少两个传输时刻点,即终端设备以跳频方式传输参考信号的时刻点,至少两个时刻可以对应至少两跳,即每一跳的传输对应一个时刻。至少两个时刻可以包括两个或者两个以上的时刻,每个时刻可通过时域资源来表示。可选的,每个时刻对应的时域资源可以通过无线帧、子帧、时隙、或者正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,OFDM)符号来表示。比如,如 图3所示,以LTE系统的一种无线帧结构为例,该无线帧的长度为10ms,每1ms为一个子帧,每个子帧包括的时隙个数随着系统参数的不同而不同,比如,15kHz时,一个子帧即等价于一个时隙,而30kHz时,一个子帧包括2个时隙,60kHz时一个子帧包括4个时隙等,图3中以一个子帧包括2个时隙为例进行说明。若至少两个时刻包括时刻1和时刻2,时刻1对应的时域资源可以为时隙#0、时刻2对应的时域资源可以为时隙#3或任意其他非时隙#0之外的时隙等,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。这里的时隙#0是指标号为0的时隙,时隙#3是指标号为3的时隙。
另外,该参考信号可以是指用于对信道质量进行测量、或者用于进行信号检测或数据解调的信号。可选的,该参考信号可以是解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS)、信道探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS)和随机接入信道(random access channel,RACH)的前导信号等。为便于描述,下文中以SRS为例进行说明,但是本申请并不局限于此。
在非授权频段中,SRS传输采用的是物理资源块(physical resource block,PRB)交织的资源分配方式,整个系统带宽以交织的方式分成多个PRB簇,每个PRB簇包括的多个PRB分散地分布在整个系统带宽上。具体的,在非授权频段中,当终端设备通过跳频方式向接入网设备传输SRS时,接入网设备可以向终端设备发送第一配置信息,第一配置信息可用于指示该终端设备在至少两个时刻传输SRS的频域资源,即接入网设备通过第一配置信息指示该终端设备通过跳频方式传输SRS的频域资源。可选地,第一配置信息用于指示该终端设备传输SRS的一些跳频相关的参数,比如,跳频的起始位置,跳频间隔,跳频图样等,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。应理解,第一配置信息中可以不显式指示至少两个时刻中每个时刻的SRS频域资源位置信息,而是由终端设备根据第一配置信息隐式确定至少两个时刻中每个时刻的SRS频域资源,均在本申请的保护范围内。
可选地,接入网设备可通过高层信令将第一配置信息发送给终端设备,比如该高层信令可以为无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令等;或者,接入网设备可以通过物理层信令将第一配置信息发送给终端设备,比如该物理层信令可以为下行控制信息等;或者,接入网设备可以通过高层信令和物理层信令一起将第一配置信息发送给终端设备,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
S202:终端设备接收来自接入网设备的第一配置信息。其中,第一配置信息与上述S201中的第一配置信息一致,具体参见关于第一配置信息的描述可以参见下文所述。
S203:终端设备根据第一配置信息,确定至少两个时刻中每个时刻对应的PRB簇。
当终端设备接收到第一配置信息时,终端设备可以根据第一配置信息,确定至少两个时刻中每个时刻对应的PRB簇,每个PRB簇由等间隔且不连续的多个PRB组成。比如,在图4所示一种PRB簇的示意图,该PRB簇包括4个PRB,且任意相邻的两个PRB之间的间隔为2个PRB,该PRB簇具体包括PRB1、PRB4、PRB7和PRB10。以20MHz的系统带宽为例,不同子载波间隔下整个系统带宽被分成的PRB簇的个数M和每个PRB簇包括的PRB个数N的候选值详见下面的表1所示。从N的取值可知,不同PRB簇包括的PRB个数可以是非均匀的,以子载波间隔为15kHz、M=12为例, 从表1中最后一列可知12个PRB簇中有的PRB簇包括的PRB个数是8,有的PRB簇包括的PRB个数是9。
表1
应理解,可以存在一个PRB簇,组成此PRB簇的PRB可以是非等间隔的,比如,当系统带宽包含的PRB个数不能被PRB簇的总数整除时,此时可以允许存在至少一个PRB簇是由非等间隔的不连续的多个PRB组成的。可选的,第一配置信息可以包括以下信息中至少一项:频域资源索引、至少两个时刻对应的PRB簇、至少两个时刻中每个时刻对应的PRB簇、至少两个时刻中的第一时刻对应的PRB簇、或者跳频间隔。
一种实施方式中,上述第一配置信息可以包括的信息有频域资源索引、至少两个时刻中的第一时刻对应的PRB簇。
可选的,另一种实施方式中,上述第一配置信息可以包括的信息有至少两个时刻对应的PRB簇、至少两个时刻中的第一时刻对应的PRB簇。
可选的,另一种实施方式中,上述第一配置信息可以包括的信息有至少两个时刻中的第一时刻对应的PRB簇和跳频间隔。
可选的,另一种实施方式中,上述第一配置信息可以包括的信息有至少两个时刻中每个时刻对应的PRB簇。
可选的,另一种实施方式中,上述第一配置信息可以包括的信息有频域资源索引、至少两个时刻对应的PRB簇和至少两个时刻中的第一时刻对应的PRB簇。
需要说明的是,对于跳频间隔可以是接入网设备通过第一配置信息配置给该终端设备的,也可以是某个预定义的值,比如,标准中规定好的某个数值,接入网设备和终端设备约定好的某个值等,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。另外,当第一配置信息包括多个不同信息时,接入网设备可以将多个不同信息一次性地发送给终端设备,也可以通过分多次将多个不同信息发送给终端设备,每次可以发送多个不同信息中的 一个或者多个。下面分别对上述每种信息进行介绍说明。
以参考信号为SRS为例,频域资源索引也可以称为SRS频域资源索引,用于索引传输SRS的频域资源,SRS频域资源索引可以用于指示小区级配置的SRS频域资源,每个小区级配置的SRS频域资源可以对应一个或者多个用户级配置的SRS频域资源。比如,在如下表2.1和表2.2所示的预定义的SRS频域资源配置中,C
SRS可以表示小区级配置的SRS频域资源索引,B
SRS可以表示用户级配置的SRS频域资源索引,m
SRS表示SRS频域资源索引对应的SRS频域资源。表2.1中示出了索引B
SRS=0和B
SRS=1对应的SRS频域资源,表2.2中示出了索引B
SRS=2和B
SRS=3对应的SRS频域资源,N
b可以是指本索引对应的频域资源相对于上一级索引对应的频域资源的切分粒度。在如下表2.1和表2.2中,通过C
SRS可以确定一组(4个)用户级配置的SRS频域资源,根据B
SRS可以确定为该终端设备配置的SRS频域资源具体为该组的某一个。
可选地,SRS频域资源索引可以用于指示用户级配置的SRS跳频的最大频域资源,每个用户级配置的SRS跳频的最大频域资源对应了该用户待测量的目标SRS频域资源,每个用户级配置的SRS跳频的最大频域资源对应了几种候选的SRS跳频的起始SRS频域资源。终端设备根据第一配置信息从起始SRS频域资源索引开始进行跳频,直至遍历完成SRS跳频的最大频域资源。同样以表2.1和表2.2为例,接入网设备可配置SRS跳频的起始SRS频域资源索引为B
SRS=2,而SRS频域资源索引为0。则根据表2.1和表2.2所示,可知,SRS跳频的起始SRS频域资源为由PRB簇1、PRB簇5和PRB簇11组成的资源,而SRS跳频的最大频域资源为由PRB簇1-12组成的资源,其中1-12为PRB簇的序号。终端设备根据接入网设备的第一配置信息,第一次SRS发送的时刻点,SRS在PRB簇1、PRB簇5和PRB簇11上进行发送,第二次SRS发送的时刻点,SRS在B
SRS=1对应的SRS频域资源减掉B
SRS=2对应的SRS频域资源后剩余的资源上进行发送,即PRB簇3、PRB簇7和PRB簇9。第三次SRS发送的时刻点,SRS在B
SRS=0对应的SRS频域资源减掉B
SRS=1对应的SRS频域资源后剩余的资源上进行发送,即PRB簇2、PRB簇4、PRB簇6、PRB簇8、PRB簇10和PRB簇12。
表2.1
表2.2
需要说明的是,上述表2.1和表2.2所示的SRS频域资源仅为示例性的,并不对本申请实施例构成限定。至少两个时刻对应的PRB簇可以是指至少两个时刻中每个时刻对应的PRB簇组成的集合。可选的,至少两个时刻对应的PRB簇还可以是上一级SRS频域资源,且下一级SRS频域资源可以是上一级SRS频域资源的子集,即至少两个时刻中第一时刻对应的PRB簇是至少两个时刻中第二时刻或第三时刻对应的PRB簇的子集。比如,以上述表2.1和表2.2中的SRS频域资源索引等于0为例,至少两个时刻对应的PRB簇可以为6(1,3,5,7,9,11)、至少两个时刻包括第一时刻、第二时刻和第三时刻,则第一时刻对应的PRB簇可以为1(1),第二时刻对应的PRB簇可以为3(1,5,11),第三时刻对应的PRB簇为可以6(1,3,5,7,9,11)。
需要说明的是,上述6(1,3,5,7,9,11)中的6表示PRB簇的数量,即6个PRB簇;1、3、5、7、9和11分别为6个PRB簇的序号,即PRB簇1、PRB簇3、PRB簇5、PRB簇7、PRB簇9和PRB簇11。其他类似的表示方式的含义与其一致,本申请实施例对此不再赘述。
至少两个时刻中的第一时刻可以是指至少两个时刻中的任意一个时刻;可选的,第一时刻可以为起始时刻,即一轮SRS跳频中终端设备首次传输SRS的时刻。
跳频间隔可以是指相邻两次传输SRS的PRB簇之间的间隔;可选的,跳频间隔可以为至少一个PRB簇,即跳频间隔可以为一个PRB簇或者多个PRB簇。比如,相邻两次传输SRS的PRB簇分别为3(1,5,9)和3(3,7,11),则跳频间隔可以为2,即跳频间隔为两个PRB簇。
在一种可能的实施例中,第一配置信息可以包括:至少两个时刻对应的PRB簇和第一时刻对应的PRB簇,则当该终端设备接收到第一配置信息时,该终端设备可以根据至少两个时刻对应的PRB簇、以及第一时刻对应的PRB簇中包括的PRB簇的数量和相邻PRB簇之间的间隔等信息,确定每个时刻对应的PRB簇。比如,至少两个时刻包括第一时刻和第二时刻,至少两个时刻对应的PRB簇为6(1,3,5,7,9,11),若第一时刻对应的PRB簇为3(1,5,11),则可以确定第二时刻对应的PRB簇为3(3,7,9)。
在一种可能的实施例中,第一配置信息可以包括:至少两个时刻中每个时刻对应的PRB簇,则当该终端设备接收到第一配置信息时,该终端设备可直接获知每个时刻对应的PRB簇。比如,至少两个时刻包括第一时刻和第二时刻,则第一配置信息可以包括第一时刻对应的PRB簇为3(1,5,11)、第二时刻对应的PRB簇为3(3,7,9)的信息。
在一种可能的实施例中,第一配置信息可以包括:第一时刻对应的PRB簇和跳频间隔,则当该终端设备接收到第一配置信息时,该终端设备可以根据第一时刻对应的PRB簇和跳频间隔确定每个时刻对应的PRB簇。示例性的,如图5所示,第一配置信息包括的第一时刻对应的PRB簇表示为PRB簇x、跳频间隔为p个PRB簇,则下一时刻对应的PRB簇可以为x+p、下下时刻对应的PRB簇可以为x+2p,以此类推。当某一时刻对应的PRB簇的序号超过PRB簇的总数时,可以对其取余,即(x+mp)modN,这里N可以表示整个系统带宽包括的PRB簇的总数,mod表示取余操作,m表示跳频的序号,比如,第m次跳频等。比如,至少两个时刻包括第一时刻和第二时刻,第一时刻对应的PRB簇为3(1,5,9)、跳频间隔为2,则第二时刻对应的PRB簇可以为3(1+2,5+2,9+2)=3(3,7,11),即第一时刻的PRB簇1、PRB簇5、PRB簇9经过2个间隔的跳频,在第二时刻对应的PRB簇变为了PRB簇3、PRB簇7和PRB簇11。
可选的,在上述三种可能的实施例中,当至少两个时刻中的每个时刻对应至少三个PRB簇时,至少三个PRB簇中任意相邻的两个PRB簇是等间隔的。比如,假设某一时刻对应k个PRB簇,k为整数,且k≥3。k个PRB簇分别表示为y(1)、y(2)、…、y(k),则y(k)-y(k-1)=y(k-1)-y(k-2)=…=y(2)-y(1)。
在一种可能的实施例中,第一配置信息指示的频域资源与上行数据的候选频域资源相关,上行数据的候选频域资源为预定义的用于上行数据传输的至少一个PRB簇。当该终端设备接收到第一配置信息时,该终端设备可以根据第一配置信息指示的频域资源与上行数据的候选频域资源之间的关系,确定每个时刻对应的PRB簇。
其中,在非授权频段,上行数据(比如,物理上行共享信道PUSCH)的传输也是基于PRB簇来实现的,事先可以为上行数据的传输预定义一些频域资源,预定义的频域资源可以包括一个或者多个PRB簇。由于SRS的信道质量测量结果主要可用于后续上行数据信道的资源分配,因此,接入网设备可以通过第一配置信息将传输SRS的频域资源与预定义的用于传输上行数据的频域资源绑定,这样可以使得信道质量的测量最大限度的匹配未来上行数据的传输。
比如,预定义的上行数据的候选资源可以如下表3所示,表3中示出了8种上行数据的候选频域资源(即索引0至7),同一子带标识对应的候选频域资源可以包括不同的PRB簇,不同的子带标识对应的候选频域资源可以包括相同的PRB簇,这里的子带(subband)可以是指将系统带宽分成的至少一个相互不重叠的频域资源子集, 每个子带进一步由至少一个连续或不连续的PRB或PRB簇组成,比如,在如下表3中整个系统带宽被分成5个子带,每个子带由10个PRB组成,其中,索引0标识的上行数据的候选频域资源为子带0上的由PRB0和PRB5组成的一个PRB簇,索引1标识的上行数据的候选频域为子带0上的由PRB0,PRB1,PRB5和PRB6组成的一个PRB簇。而索引2标识的上行数据的候选频域为子带1上的由PRB0和PRB5组成的一个PRB簇。
表3
索引 | 子带标识 | 候选资源(PRB的序号) |
0 | 0 | (0,5) |
1 | 0 | (0,1,5,6) |
2 | 1 | (0,5) |
3 | 1 | (0,1,2,3,5,6,7,8) |
4 | 2 | (0,5) |
5 | 2 | (0,1,2,5,6,7) |
6 | 3 | (0,5) |
7 | 4 | (0,5) |
应理解,也可以直接将系统带宽分成预定义的多个PRB簇,预定义的上行数据的候选资源是预定义的多个PRB簇中的至少一个。比如,预定义的上行数据的候选资源为下表4中的任意一个配置索引所对应的候选资源,以配置索引2为例,其对应的上行数据的候选资源为PRB簇(0,1,2,5,6,7)。
表4
索引 | 候选资源(PRB簇的序号) |
0 | (0,5) |
1 | (0,1,5,6) |
2 | (0,1,2,5,6,7) |
3 | (0,1,2,3,5,6,7,8) |
具体的,传输SRS的频域资源可以与上行数据的候选频域资源相同或有关,传输SRS的频域资源是上行数据的候选频域资源通过偏移不同数量的PRB来确定的。比如,如图6所示,对于一个子带(包括10个PRB,对应的标号分别表示为0-9)来说,若传输上行数据的PRB为0、1、5和6,则在偏移量为0个PRB时,传输SRS的PRB可以为0、1、5和6,在偏移量为1个PRB时,传输SRS的PRB可以为1、2、6和7,在偏移量为2个PRB时,传输SRS的PRB可以为2、3、7和8,在偏移量为3个PRB时,传输SRS的PRB可以为3、4、8和9。可选地,接入网设备可配置上行数据的候选频域资源的索引给终端设备,并同时配置SRS的频域资源相对于此上行数据的候选频域资源的偏移量给终端设备,比如,接入网设备配置上述表2中索引5给终端设备,同时配置SRS频域资源相对于该索引对应的上行数据的候选频域资源的偏移量1个PRB,从而终端设备可基于上述信息推出SRS的频域资源为子带2上的PRB集合(1,2,3,6,7,8)组成的PRB簇,PRB集合是指由多个PRB组成的集合,PRB集合 (1,2,3,6,7,8)是指由标号为1、2、3、6、7和8所表示的PRB组成的集合,即PRB集合(1,2,3,6,7,8)包括PRB1、PRB2、PRB3、PRB6、PRB7和PRB8。
可选地,接入网设备可通过高层信令将上述第一配置信息发送给终端设备,比如该高层信令可以为RRC信令等;或者,接入网设备可以通过物理层信令将上述第一配置信息发送给终端设备,比如该物理层信令可以为下行控制信息等;或者,接入网设备可以通过高层信令和物理层信令一起将上述第一配置信息发送给终端设备,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
相应的,基于上述上行数据的候选资源,可以直接预定义传输SRS的频域资源如下表5.1和表5.2所示。比如,在SRS频域资源索引为0-3、B
SRS=1时,传输SRS的频域资源分别为由PRB集合(0,1,2,5,6,7)组成的PRB簇、由PRB集合(1,2,3,6,7,8)组成的PRB簇、由PRB集合(2,3,4,7,8,9)组成的PRB簇和由PRB集合(3,4,5,8,9,0)组成的PRB簇,与上述表2中上行数据的候选资源的PRB集合(0,1,2,5,6,7)相比,对应的偏移量分别为0个PRB、1个PRB、2个PRB和3个PRB;在SRS频域资源索引为0-3、B
SRS=2时,传输SRS的频域资源分别为由PRB集合(0,1,5,6)组成的PRB簇、由PRB集合(1,2,6,7)组成的PRB簇、由PRB集合(2,3,7,8)组成的PRB簇和由PRB集合(3,4,8,9)组成的PRB簇,与上述表2中上行数据的候选资源的PRB集合(0,1,5,6)相比,对应的偏移量分别为0个PRB、1个PRB、2个PRB和3个PRB;在SRS频域资源索引为0-3、B
SRS=3时,传输SRS的频域资源分别为由PRB集合(0,5)组成的PRB簇、由PRB集合(1,6)组成的PRB簇、由PRB集合(2,7)组成的PRB簇和由PRB集合(3,8)组成的PRB簇,与上述表2中的上行数据的候选资源的PRB集合(0,5)相比,对应的偏移量分别为0个PRB、1个PRB、2个PRB和3个PRB。
表5.1
表5.2
需要说明的是,上述表3和表4所示的上行数据的候选频域资源、以及表5.1和表5.2所示的传输SRS的频域资源仅为示例性的,并不对本申请实施例构成限制。
S204:接入网设备确定至少两个时刻中每个时刻对应的PRB簇。可选的,步骤 S204与S201-203不分先后顺序,本申请图2中以S204与203并列执行为例进行说明,但本申请并不局限于此。
具体的,在接入网设备向该终端设备发送第一配置信息之前,该接入网设备可以先确定至少两个时刻中每个时刻对应的PRB簇,之后再向该终端设备发送第一配置信息,此时S204位于S201之前。或者,在接入网设备向该终端设备发送第一配置信息时,接入网设备还未确定出至少两个时刻中每个时刻对应的PRB簇,此时S204位于S201之后、且S204与S202-S203可以不分先后顺序。
需要说明的是,接入网设备确定至少两个时刻中每个时刻对应的PRB簇的具体过程与上述S203中该终端设备确定至少两个时刻中每个时刻对应的PRB簇的具体过程类似,本申请实施例对此不再赘述。
S205:该终端设备在每个时刻对应的PRB簇上向接入网设备发送该参考信号。
具体的,当终端设备确定至少两个时刻中每个时刻对应的PRB簇后,该终端设备可以在每个时刻对应的PRB簇上发送SRS。比如,至少两个时刻分别为图3所示的无线帧中的时隙#0和时隙#3,时隙#0对应的PRB簇为3(1,5,11)、时隙#3对应的PRB簇为3(3,7,9),则该终端设备可以在时隙#0上通过PRB簇1、PRB簇5和PRB簇11这3个PRB簇向接入网设备发送SRS,在时隙#3上通过PRB簇3、PRB簇7和PRB簇9这3个PRB簇向接入网设备发送SRS。
需要说明的是,这里的时隙#0是指标号为0的时隙,时隙#3是指标号为3的时隙。另外,这里的3(1,5,11)中的3表示PRB簇的数量,即3个PRB簇,1、5和11分别为3个PRB簇的序号,即PRB簇1、PRB簇5和PRB簇11。其他类似的表示方式的含义与其一致,本申请实施例对此不再赘述。
S206:接入网设备在每个时刻对应的PRB簇上接收该终端设备发送的参考信号。
具体的,接入网设备可以在每个时刻对应的PRB簇上接收该终端设备发送的SRS。当接入网设备接收到该终端设备发送的SRS后,接入网设备可以基于该SRS进行信道质量测量,进而基于信道质量测量结果进行后续的资源分配等操作。比如,至少两个时刻分别为图3所示的无线帧中的时隙#0和时隙#3,时隙#0对应的PRB簇为3(1,5,11)、时隙#3对应的PRB簇为3(3,7,9),则接入网设备可以在时隙#0上接收该终端设备通过1、5和11标识的3个PRB簇发送的SRS,在时隙#3上接收该终端设备通过3、7和9标识的3个PRB簇发送的SRS。
在本申请实施例中,接入网设备通过为终端设备配置第一配置信息,终端设备在接收到第一配置信息时,根据第一配置信息确定至少两个时刻中每个时刻对应的PRB簇,从而在每个时刻对应的PRB簇上向接入网设备发送参考信号,从而使得终端设备能够在非授权频段中以跳频方式传输参考信号,进而实现非授权频段中信道质量的测量。此外,接入网设备通过为终端设备配置第一配置信息,还可以降低终端设备的功耗、达到省电的效果,以及降低信道质量测量的时延,当传输参考信号的频域资源与上行数据的候选频域资源相关时,还可以最大化的利用信道质量测量结果。
