DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
(8) Network architectures and service scenarios described in the following embodiments of this application are intended to more clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application, but are not intended to limit the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application. A person of ordinary skill in the art may know that as the network architectures evolve and a new service scenario emerges, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application may be further applied to a similar technical problem.
(9) A technology described in this application is applicable to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system and a subsequent evolution system such as the 5th generation mobile communication (5G) or other wireless communications systems using various wireless access technologies, such as systems using access technologies such as Code Division Multiple Access, Frequency Division Multiple Access, Time Division Multiple Access, orthogonal frequency division multiple access, and single carrier frequency division multiple access, and particularly applicable to a wireless communications system using a full-duplex technology to perform communication. As shown in
(10) In this application, terms network and system are usually interchangeably used, but meanings of the terms may be understood by a person skilled in the art. The user equipment in this application may include various handheld devices having a wireless communications function, in-vehicle devices, wearable devices, computing devices, control devices, or another processing device connected to a wireless modem, and include various forms such as user equipment (UE), a mobile station (MS), a terminal, and terminal equipment. For ease of description, in this application, all the devices mentioned above are collectively referred to as user equipment or UE. The network device in this application includes a base station (BS), a network controller, a mobile switching center, or the like. An apparatus that directly communicates with the user equipment by using a radio channel is usually a base station. The base station may include various forms such as a macro base station, a micro base station, a relay node, an access point, and a remote radio unit (RRU). Certainly, the apparatus that performs wireless communication with the user equipment may be another network device that has a wireless communication function. This is not uniquely limited in this application. In systems that use different radio access technologies, devices with a base station function may have different names. For example, in an LTE network, the device is referred to as an evolved NodeB (eNB or eNodeB); in a 3rd Generation 3G network, the device is referred to as a NodeB; or the like.
(11) With reference to
(12) In the solution provided in the embodiments of this application, an uplink transmit power of UE may be compensated for, depending on whether the full-duplex technology is used in a current subframe, to ensure smoothness of a signal-to-noise ratio of each uplink subframe when the full-duplex technology is applied, and further ensure reception performance of the uplink subframe without causing a notable increase of signaling overheads. The embodiments of this application are further described in detail below based on a common aspect of this application described above.
(13)
(14) In step 301, user equipment performs transmit power compensation on a subframe in a first subframe set by using a first cell-level power compensation amount. The first subframe set may be obtained by classifying subframes according to a specific requirement in a system, and this is not limited in this application. For example, in an LTE system in which a full-duplex technology is introduced, the first subframe set may be a set of all subframes to which the full-duplex technology is applied. Performing transmit power compensation on the subframe in the first subframe set is compensating with the first power compensation amount when a transmit power of an uplink physical channel on which transmission is performed in the subframe is calculated. Performing transmit power compensation by using the first cell-level power compensation amount is performing transmit power compensation on a corresponding uplink physical channel in the subframe in the first subframe set by all user equipments in a cell by using the same first power compensation amount. It may be understood that, with the development of a wireless communications technology, a minimum unit of time for calculating a transmit power may be reduced to a symbol or a shorter time period. In this case, this embodiment provided in this application can still be applied. For example, when the minimum unit of time for calculating a transmit power is a symbol, the user equipment performs transmit power compensation on a symbol in a first symbol set by using the first cell-level power compensation amount.
(15) In an example, the user equipment obtains the first cell-level power compensation amount. The first power compensation amount may be agreed on in advance by a network device and the user equipment, or may be delivered by the network device to all user equipments in a cell by using a cell-level parameter. For example, the user equipment receives a cell-level message that is sent by the network device and that includes the first power compensation amount information, for example, a system information block (SIB). In a specific example, the SIB includes one piece of first power compensation amount information, and the one piece of first power compensation amount information indicates at least one of a first power compensation amount of a transmit power of a physical uplink shared channel (for example, a PUSCH), a first power compensation amount of a transmit power of a physical uplink control channel (for example, a PUCCH), and a first power compensation amount of a transmit power of a sounding reference signal (for example, an SRS). In another specific example, the SIB includes three pieces of first power compensation amount information, and the three pieces of first power compensation amount information respectively indicate a first power compensation amount of a transmit power of a physical uplink shared channel (for example, a PUSCH), a first power compensation amount of a transmit power of a physical uplink control channel (for example, a PUCCH), and a first power compensation amount of a transmit power of a sounding reference signal (for example, an SRS). It may be understood that the embodiment of the solution provided by this application may further be applied to another uplink physical channel, and is not limited to the channel types mentioned above.
(16) In another example, the user equipment may further perform transmit power compensation on a subframe in a second subframe set by using a second cell-level power compensation amount. The second power compensation amount may be agreed on in advance by the network device and the user equipment, for example, the second power compensation amount is zero; or may be delivered by the network device to all user equipments in a cell by using a cell-level parameter, for example, an SIB includes the second power compensation amount information.
(17) The user equipment may perform transmit power compensation on different uplink physical channels on which transmission is performed in the subframe in the first subframe set, for example, perform transmit power compensation on one or more of the PUSCH, the PUCCH, and the SRS. When the user equipment performs transmit power compensation on a plurality of uplink physical channels, the used first power compensation amount may be the same or different, and the used second power compensation amount may be the same or different.
(18) In an example, when the user equipment calculates a transmit power of an uplink physical channel, a formula is met:
(19)
where
(20) P(i) is a transmit power that is of the uplink physical channel in an i.sup.th subframe and that is calculated by the user equipment, P.sub.max,c(i) is a maximum transmit power of the user equipment on the uplink physical channel in the i.sup.th subframe of a serving cell c of the user equipment, and P.sub.ori,c(i) is a transmit power that is of the uplink physical channel in the i.sup.th subframe of the serving cell c of the user equipment and that is calculated by the user equipment according to a power control method configured by the network device. The power control method configured by the network device may vary according to different communications systems. For example, in an LTE system, power control may be performed with reference to the uplink power control method specified in 3GPP TS 36.213. .sub.FD,c(i) is a first power compensation amount or a second power compensation amount when the transmit power of the uplink physical channel is calculated. When the it.sup.h subframe belongs to the first subframe set, .sub.FD,c(i) is the first power compensation amount of the uplink physical channel; when the i.sup.th subframe belongs to the second subframe set, .sub.FD,c(i) is the second power compensation amount of the uplink physical channel.
(21) In an example, the first subframe set is a full-duplex subframe set, and the second subframe set is a non-full-duplex subframe set. A subframe in the full-duplex subframe set is a subframe in which the network device receives data in this type of subframe and simultaneously sends downlink data in a same frequency band of the subframe, and a subframe in the non-full-duplex subframe set is a subframe in which the network device receives data in this type of subframe and does not simultaneously send downlink data in a same frequency band of the subframe.
(22) In step 302, the user equipment sends data in the subframe by using an uplink transmit power on which the transmit power compensation has been performed. It should be noted that the data includes data such as service information, control signaling, or a reference signal that is carried on a physical uplink shared channel (for example, a PUSCH), a physical uplink control channel (for example, a PUCCH), or a sounding reference signal (for example, an SRS) channel, or any type of information that is carried on another uplink physical channel. This is not limited in this application.
(23) The embodiments of this application are further described below with reference to
(24)
(25) In step 401, a network device pairs UEs and applies a full-duplex technology to the paired UEs.
(26) In an example, UE may measure an interference degree between UEs based on an interference sounding signal transferred between the UEs and reports the interference degree to the network device. The network device pairs UEs having relatively small mutual interference based on mutual interference degrees between UEs, and uses the full-duplex technology for the paired UEs. An LTE TDD system is used as an example. An eNB pairs UE 1 and UE 2 that have relatively small mutual interference. The UE 1 uses subframe configuration 0, and the UE 2 uses subframe configuration 5. As shown in Table 1, if the UE 1 performs uplink transmission and the UE 2 performs downlink transmission in subframes 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9, the eNB needs to use full-duplex transmission in the subframes 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 (a full-duplex subframe set). Transmission directions of the UE 1 and the UE 2 are the same in remaining subframes (a non-full-duplex subframe set), and the eNB does not use the full-duplex technology. A subframe in the full-duplex subframe set is a subframe in which the network device receives data in this type of subframe and simultaneously sends downlink data in a same frequency band of the subframe, and a subframe in the non-full-duplex subframe set is a subframe in which the network device receives data in this type of subframe and does not simultaneously send downlink data in a same frequency band of the subframe.
(27) TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Example of subframe configuration used for paired UEs in an LTE TDD system Downlink- to-uplink Subframe switch- configuration point Subframe number index periodicity 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 5 ms D S U U U D S U U U 1 5 ms D S U U D D S U U D 2 5 ms D S U D D D S U D D 3 10 ms D S U U U D D D D D 4 10 ms D S U U D D D D D D 5 10 ms D S U D D D D D D D 6 5 ms D S U U U D S U U D
(28) In step 402, the network device notifies, by using radio resource control (RRC) signaling, the UE of a subframe belonging to a full-duplex subframe set.
(29) In an example, the network device sends, by using the RRC signaling, a UE-level bitmap (bitmap) that indicates a location of the subframe in the full-duplex subframe set. For example, 0001101111 (1 indicates a full-duplex subframe, and 0 indicates a non-full-duplex subframe) indicates that in one radio frame, subframes 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are subframes in the full-duplex subframe set, and the other subframes are subframes in the non-full-duplex subframe set.
(30) In step 403, the network device determines a power compensation amount used for calculating an uplink transmit power.
(31) In an example, the network device selects the power compensation amount used for calculating an uplink transmit power from a power compensation amount set. For example, the network device may select, based on a self-interference cancellation capability of the network device from the power compensation amount set, the power compensation amount used for calculating an uplink transmit power, or may randomly select the power compensation amount from the power compensation amount set. The power compensation amount set is defined, so that more choices of power compensation amounts may be provided for network devices having different self-interference cancellation capabilities, different power compensation amounts may be selected by the network device for different physical channels or in different interference scenarios, and a cell-level message used for sending power compensation amount information may be simplified.
(32) In an example, the power compensation amount used for calculating an uplink transmit power includes a power compensation amount of a transmit power of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), a power compensation amount of a transmit power of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), and a power compensation amount of a transmit power of an sounding reference signal (SRS). After the full-duplex technology is introduced, the power compensation amount of the uplink transmit power may be applied to an uplink physical channel such as the PUSCH, the PUCCH, or the SRS, so that an uplink transmit power of the subframe in the full-duplex subframe set is increased, to ensure smoothness of a signal-to-noise ratio of an uplink subframe on the channel and further ensure uplink subframe received quality. It may be understood that the embodiment of the solution provided by this application may further be applied to another uplink physical channel, and is not limited to the channel types mentioned above. In an example, the network device determines one first power compensation amount. The one first power compensation amount is used for performing power compensation on a transmit power of a subframe in a first subframe set of one or more different physical channels in the PUSCH, the PUCCH, and the SRS. When the one first power compensation amount is used for transmit power compensation of a plurality of different physical channels, first power compensation amounts of the plurality of different physical channels are equal.
(33) In another example, the network device separately determines a first power compensation amount for different physical channels based on a self-interference cancellation capability of the network device on the different physical channels.
(34) In an example, a second power compensation amount of a transmit power of the PUSCH, a second power compensation amount of a transmit power of the PUCCH, and a second power compensation amount of a transmit power of the SRS are all zero.
(35) In another example, the network device determines a second power compensation amount for different physical channels according to a specific requirement. For example, the network device may randomly select a second power compensation amount for different physical channels from the power compensation amount set. During a selection process, it needs to ensure that a second power compensation amount of a physical channel is less than a first power compensation amount of the physical channel. Alternatively, a second power compensation amount for one or more physical channels may be determined as zero.
(36) In a specific example, the network device determines, based on the self-interference cancellation capability of the network device from the power compensation amount set, a specific power compensation amount as a first power compensation amount for the PUSCH, the PUCCH, and the SRS, and the first power compensation amount is used to compensate for the uplink transmit power of the subframe in the full-duplex subframe set on the foregoing channels. For example, the power compensation amount set is {1, 2, 3, 5} dB, and the network device selects 1 dB as the first power compensation amount for the foregoing uplink physical channels. Second power compensation amounts of the foregoing uplink physical channels are all zero, to be specific, no compensation is performed on an uplink transmit power of the subframe in the non-full-duplex subframe set on the PUSCH, the PUCCH, and the SRS.
(37) In another specific example, the network device determines, based on the self-interference cancellation capability of the network device on different uplink physical channels from the power compensation amount set, three specific power compensation amounts as first power compensation amounts of the PUSCH, the PUCCH, and the SRS, and the first power compensation amounts are used to compensate for the uplink transmit power of the subframe in the full-duplex subframe set on the foregoing channels. For example, the power compensation amount set is {1, 2, 3, 5} dB. The network device selects 1 dB as a first power compensation amount of the PUSCH, selects 2 dB as a first power compensation amount of the PUCCH, and selects 5 dB as a first power compensation amount of the SRS. Second power compensation amounts of the foregoing uplink physical channels are all zero, to be specific, no compensation is performed on the uplink transmit power of the subframe in the non-full-duplex subframe set on the PUSCH, the PUCCH, and the SRS.
(38) In another specific example, the network device determines, based on the self-interference cancellation capability of the network device from the power compensation amount set, a specific power compensation amount as a first power compensation amount for the PUSCH, the PUCCH, and the SRS, and the first power compensation amount is used to compensate for the uplink transmit power of the subframe in the full-duplex subframe set on the foregoing channels. For example, the power compensation amount set is {1, 2, 3, 5} dB, and the network device selects 3 dB as the first power compensation amount for the foregoing uplink physical channels. The network device determines, from the power compensation amount set, a specific power compensation amount as a second power compensation amount for the PUSCH, the PUCCH, and the SRS, and the second power compensation amount is used to compensate for the uplink transmit power of the subframe of the non-full-duplex subframe set on the foregoing channels. For example, the power compensation amount set is {1, 2, 3, 5} dB, and the network device selects 1 dB as the second power compensation amount for the foregoing uplink physical channels. It should be noted that, because the subframe in the full-duplex subframe set is affected by self-interference, and the subframe in the non-full-duplex subframe set is not affected by self-interference, a first power compensation amount of a physical channel is greater than a second power compensation amount of the physical channel. This may ensure smoothness of a received signal-to-noise ratio of an uplink subframe and further ensure uplink subframe received quality.
(39) In still another specific example, the network device determines, based on the self-interference cancellation capability of the network device on different uplink physical channels from the power compensation amount set, three specific power compensation amounts as first power compensation amounts of the PUSCH, the PUCCH, and the SRS, and the first power compensation amounts are used to compensate for the uplink transmit power of the subframe in the full-duplex subframe set on the foregoing channels. For example, the power compensation amount set is {1, 2, 3, 5} dB. The network device selects 1 dB as a first power compensation amount of the PUSCH, selects 2 dB as a first power compensation amount of the PUCCH, and selects 5 dB as a first power compensation amount of the SRS. The network device determines three specific power compensation amounts as second power compensation amounts of the PUSCH, the PUCCH, and the SRS, and the second power compensation amounts are used to compensate for the uplink transmit power of the subframe of the non-full-duplex subframe set on the foregoing channels. For example, the power compensation amount set is {1, 2, 3, 5} dB. The network device chooses not to perform power compensation on the subframe in the non-full-duplex subframe set of the PUSCH, in other words, a second power compensation amount of the PUSCH is zero, selects 1 dB from the power compensation amount set as a second power compensation amount of the PUCCH, and selects 3 dB from the power compensation amount set as a second power compensation amount of the SRS.
(40) In step 404, the network device delivers the power compensation amount by using a system information block SIB.
(41) In an example, the first power compensation amount is configured by using a cell-level parameter, to be specific, the SIB includes first power compensation amount information.
(42) In an example, the second power compensation amount is also configured by using the cell-level parameter, to be specific, the SIB may further include second power compensation amount information.
(43) In another example, the second power compensation amount is zero, to be specific, no power compensation may be performed on a transmit power of a subframe in a second subframe set. In this case, the SIB may include only the first power compensation amount information, or may include the first power compensation amount information and the second power compensation amount information.
(44) In an example, the power compensation amount information used for calculating an uplink transmit power includes at least one piece of power compensation amount information used for calculating a transmit power of a physical uplink shared channel PUSCH, power compensation amount information of a transmit power used for calculating a transmit power of a physical uplink control channel PUCCH, and power compensation amount information used for calculating a transmit power of a sounding reference signal SRS. It may be understood that the embodiment of the solution provided by this application may further be applied to another uplink physical channel, and is not limited to the channel types mentioned above.
(45) In an example, the SIB includes one piece of first power compensation amount information, and the one piece of first power compensation amount information indicates one or more first power compensation amounts in a first power compensation amount of a transmit power of a PUSCH, a first power compensation amount of a transmit power of a PUCCH, and a first power compensation amount of a transmit power of an SRS.
(46) In another example, the SIB includes three pieces of first power compensation amount information, and the three pieces of first power compensation amount information respectively indicate a first power compensation amount of a transmit power of the PUSCH, a first power compensation amount of a transmit power of the PUCCH, and a first power compensation amount of a transmit power of the SRS.
(47) In still another example, the SIB includes two pieces of first power compensation amount information, and the two pieces of first power compensation amount information respectively indicate any two first power compensation amounts in a first power compensation amount of a transmit power of the PUSCH, a first power compensation amount of a transmit power of the PUCCH, and a first power compensation amount of a transmit power of the SRS. The network device notifies the UE of physical channel types corresponding to the any two first power compensation amounts. For example, the network device may notify the UE of performing power compensation only on a transmit power of the PUSCH and a transmit power of the PUCCH in the subframe in the first subframe set. The two pieces of first power compensation amount information included in the SIB are used to indicate first power compensation amounts of the PUSCH and the PUCCH. It may be understood that, for the two pieces of first power compensation amount information included in the SIB, one may be used to indicate first power compensation amounts of any two of the foregoing three physical channels, and the other is used to indicate a first power compensation amount of a remaining physical channel. The network device may notify the UE of a specific correspondence.
(48) In an example, the SIB includes one piece of second power compensation amount information, and the one piece of second power compensation amount information indicates one or more second power compensation amounts in a second power compensation amount of a transmit power of the PUSCH, a second power compensation amount of a transmit power of the PUCCH, and a second power compensation amount of a transmit power of the SRS.
(49) In another example, the SIB includes three pieces of second power compensation amount information, and the three pieces of second power compensation amount information respectively indicate a second power compensation amount of a transmit power of the PUSCH, a second power compensation amount of a transmit power of the PUCCH, and a second power compensation amount of a transmit power of the SRS. It may be understood that, when a second power compensation amount of one or more physical channels is zero, the SIB may not include second power compensation amount information of the one or more physical channels.
(50) In still another example, the SIB includes two pieces of second power compensation amount information, and the two pieces of second power compensation amount information respectively indicate any two second power compensation amounts in a second power compensation amount of a transmit power of the PUSCH, a second power compensation amount of a transmit power of the PUCCH, and a second power compensation amount of a transmit power of the SRS. The network device notifies the UE of physical channel types corresponding to the any two second power compensation amounts. For example, the network device may notify the UE of performing power compensation only on a transmit power of the PUSCH and a transmit power of the PUCCH in the subframe in the second subframe set. The two pieces of second power compensation amount information included in the SIB are used to indicate second power compensation amounts of the PUSCH and the PUCCH. It may be understood that, for the two pieces of second power compensation amount information included in the SIB, one may be used to indicate second power compensation amounts of any two of the foregoing three physical channels, and the other is used to indicate a second power compensation amount of a remaining physical channel. The network device may notify the UE of a specific correspondence.
(51) In a specific example, the first power compensation amount is configured by using a cell-level parameter. For example, a new SIB may be defined and the SIB includes the cell-level parameter used for configuring the first power compensation amount, or the cell-level parameter used for configuring the first power compensation amount may be added to the existing SIB. Table 2 shows a specific possible manner of designing the foregoing cell-level parameter used for configuring the first power compensation amount. In an example shown in Table 2, the cell-level parameter includes two bits, and the two bits are used to indicate a maximum of four types of a value of the first power compensation amount. It may be understood that a bit length or a design manner of the cell-level parameter may be in another form according to a specific requirement. This is not limited in this application. The network device delivers the power compensation amount to all UEs in a cell by using the SIB, and a quantity of signaling does not increase as a quantity of UEs in the cell increases. Therefore, a transmit power of a subframe in a full-duplex subframe set is increased, and uplink subframe received quality is ensured without causing excessively large signaling overheads.

(53) In an example, the second power compensation amount is zero. To be specific, no power compensation may be performed on a transmit power of a subframe in a non-full-duplex subframe set, and an uplink transmit power may be directly calculated according to the power control method in the prior art. For example, in an LTE system, power control may be performed with reference to the uplink power control method specified in 3GPP TS 36.213. In this case, the SIB may include first power compensation amount information and second power compensation amount information, or may include only first power compensation amount information.
(54) In another example, both the first power compensation amount and the second power compensation amount are configured by using a cell-level parameter, and the first power compensation amount is greater than the second power compensation amount. In this case, the SIB includes a cell-level parameter used for configuring the first power compensation amount and a cell-level parameter used for configuring the second power compensation amount. For a specific design manner of the cell-level parameter used for configuring the first power compensation amount and of the cell-level parameter used for configuring the second power compensation amount, refer to the foregoing example description of the cell-level parameter used for configuring the first power compensation amount. Details are not described again.
(55) Similarly, the power compensation amount set {1, 2, 3, 5} dB is used as an example, and with reference to the design example of the cell-level parameter in Table 2, Table 3 shows a specific example of an SIB message including power compensation amount information. In this example, first power compensation amounts of a PUSCH, a PUCCH, and an SRS are all 1 dB, and second power compensation amounts are all zero. Table 4 shows another specific example of an SIB message including power compensation amount information. In this example, first power compensation amounts of a PUSCH, a PUCCH, and an SRS are respectively 1 dB, 2 dB, and 5 dB, and second power compensation amounts are zero. Table 5 shows still another specific example of an SIB message including power compensation amount information. In this example, first power compensation amounts of a PUSCH, a PUCCH, and an SRS are all 3 dB, and second power compensation amounts are all 1 dB. Table 6 shows yet another specific example of an SIB message including power compensation amount information. In this example, first power compensation amounts of a PUSCH, a PUCCH, and an SRS are respectively 1 dB, 2 dB, and 5 dB, and second power compensation amounts are zero, 1 dB, and 3 dB, and the SIB message does not include second power compensation amount information of the PUSCH. It should be noted that examples of the SIB messages in Table 3 to Table 6 show only examples of an information element related to the power compensation amount. In a specific design, the SIB may further include another information element, or another design may be performed for the information element related to the power compensation amount according to a requirement. This is not limited in this application.

(60) In step 405, the user equipment receives the SIB delivered by the network device, and parses power compensation amount information included in the SIB.
(61) In step 406, the user equipment calculates a transmit power of an uplink physical channel by using a power compensation amount configured by the network device.
(62) In an example, when the user equipment calculates a transmit power of an uplink physical channel, a formula is met:
(63)
where
(64) P(i) is a transmit power that is of the uplink physical channel in an i.sup.th subframe and that is calculated by the user equipment, P.sub.max,c(i) is a maximum transmit power of the user equipment on the uplink physical channel in the i.sup.th subframe of a serving cell c of the user equipment, and P.sub.ori,c(i) is a transmit power that is of the uplink physical channel in the i.sup.th subframe of the serving cell c of the user equipment and that is calculated by the user equipment according to a power control method configured by the network device. The power control method configured by the network device may vary according to different communications systems. For example, in an LTE system, power control may be performed with reference to the uplink power control method specified in 3GPP TS 36.213. .sub.FD,c(i) is a first power compensation amount or a second power compensation amount when the transmit power of the uplink physical channel is calculated. When the i.sup.th subframe belongs to the full-duplex subframe set, .sub.FD,c(i) is the first power compensation amount of the uplink physical channel; when the i.sup.th subframe belongs to the non-full-duplex subframe set, .sub.FD,c(i) is the second power compensation amount of the uplink physical channel.
