BACKGROUND

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to methods and devices in wireless communication systems, and in particular to a method and a device in a wireless communication system that support physical layer uplink control channel.

Related Art

Compared with a traditional 3rd Generation Partner Project (3GPP) Long-term Evolution (LTE) system, more various application scenarios can be supported in a 5G system, such as enhanced Mobile BroadBand (eMBB), Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC) and massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC). Requirements of transmission reliability and latency vary according to application scenarios and some may differ from others in a couple of orders of magnitude, which leads to differences in designs of physical layer data channel and physical layer control channel required for application scenarios.

SUMMARY

Inventors find through researches that URLLC is much more demanding on transmission reliability than any other application scenario, including not only the transmission reliability of a physical layer data channel but also that of a physical layer control channel. The 3GPP Release 15 (R15) supports an adoption of multiple Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) tables and repeated transmissions to improve a physical layer data channel's transmission reliability. And the transmission reliability of a physical layer control channel also needs improving. Besides, designs for URLLC shall not be made at the cost of spectrum efficiency of other application scenarios.

To address the above problem, the present disclosure provides a solution. It should be noted that embodiments of the UE in the present disclosure and the characteristics of the embodiments can be applied to the base station in the present disclosure when there is no conflict, and vice versa. The embodiments of the present disclosure and the characteristics in the embodiments may be mutually combined if no conflict is incurred.

The first signaling implicitly indicates the target parameter set from the first parameter set and the second parameter set, and the UE selects an appropriate radio resource from the K resource set(s) in accordance with the target parameter set for transmitting the first radio signal.

In one embodiment, the above method is characterized in that the K resource sets are designed as meeting a variety of requirements of uplink transmission reliability, and the first parameter set and the second parameter set respectively correspond to resource sets that meet different requirements of transmission reliability out of the K resource sets. The first signaling implicitly indicates the target parameter set from the first parameter set and the second parameter set, and the UE selects an appropriate resource set from the K resource sets in accordance with the target parameter set for transmitting the first radio signal.

InFIG. 3, the radio protocol architecture for a UE and a gNB is represented by three layers, which are a layer 1, a layer 2 and a layer 3, respectively. The layer 1 (L1) is the lowest layer and performs signal processing functions of various PHY layers. The L1 is called PHY301in the present disclosure. The layer 2 (L2)305is above the PHY301, and is in charge of the link between the UE and the gNB via the PHY301. In the user plane, L2305comprises a Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer302, a Radio Link Control (RLC) sublayer303and a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) sublayer304. All the three sublayers terminate at the gNBs of the network side. Although not described inFIG. 3, the UE may comprise several protocol layers above the L2305, such as a network layer (i.e., IP layer) terminated at a P-GW213of the network side and an application layer terminated at the other side of the connection (i.e., a peer UE, a server, etc.).

Embodiment 4 illustrates a schematic diagram of a New Radio (NR) node and a UE, as shown inFIG. 4.FIG. 4is a block diagram illustrating a UE450and a gNB410that are in communication with each other in access network.

In downlink (DL) transmission, at the gNB410, a higher-layer packet from a core network is provided to the controller/processor475. The controller/processor475provides functions of the L2 layer. In DL transmission, the controller/processor475provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between a logical channel and a transport channel, and radio resource allocation for the UE450based on various priorities. The controller/processor475is also in charge of HARQ operation, retransmission of a lost packet, and a signaling to the UE450. The transmitting processor416and the multi-antenna transmitting processor471perform signal processing functions used for the L1 layer (that is, PHY). The transmitting processor416performs coding and interleaving so as to ensure an FEC (Forward Error Correction) at the UE450side, and the mapping to signal clusters corresponding to each modulation scheme (i.e., BPSK, QPSK, M-PSK, M-QAM, etc.). The multi-antenna transmitting processor471performs digital spatial precoding, including codebook-based precoding and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming on encoded and modulated symbols to generate one or more spatial streams. The transmitting processor416then maps each spatial stream into a subcarrier. The mapped symbols are multiplexed with a reference signal (i.e., pilot frequency) in time domain and/or frequency domain, and then they are assembled through Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) to generate a physical channel carrying time-domain multicarrier symbol streams. After that the multi-antenna transmitting processor471performs transmission analog precoding/beamforming on the time-domain multi-carrier symbol streams. Each transmitter418converts a baseband multicarrier symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmitting processor471into a radio frequency (RF) stream. Each radio frequency stream is later provided to different antennas420.

In uplink (UL) transmission, at the UE450, the data source467is used to provide a higher-layer packet to the controller/processor459. The data source467represents all protocol layers above the L2 layer. Similar to a transmitting function of the gNB410described in DL transmission, the controller/processor459performs header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between a logical channel and a transport channel based on radio resource allocation of the gNB410so as to provide the L2 layer functions used for the user plane and the control plane. The controller/processor459is also responsible for HARQ operation, retransmission of a lost packet, and a signaling to the gNB410. The transmitting processor468performs modulation mapping and channel coding. The multi-antenna transmitting processor457implements digital multi-antenna spatial precoding, including codebook-based precoding and non-codebook-based precoding, as well as beamforming. Following that, the generated spatial streams are modulated into multicarrier/single-carrier symbol streams by the transmitting processor468, and then modulated symbol streams are subjected to analog precoding/beamforming in the multi-antenna transmitting processor457and provided from the transmitters454to each antenna452. Each transmitter454first converts a baseband symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmitting processor457into a radio frequency symbol stream, and then provides the radio frequency symbol stream to the antenna452.

In uplink (UL) transmission, the function of the gNB410is similar to the receiving function of the UE450described in DL transmission. Each receiver418receives a radio frequency signal via a corresponding antenna420, converts the received radio frequency signal into a baseband signal, and provides the baseband signal to the multi-antenna receiving processor472and the receiving processor470. The receiving processor470and multi-antenna receiving processor472collectively provide functions of the L1 layer. The controller/processor475provides functions of the L2 layer. The controller/processor475can be associated with the memory476that stores program code and data. The memory476can be called a computer readable medium. In UL transmission, the controller/processor475provides de-multiplexing between a transport channel and a logical channel, packet reassembling, decryption, header decompression, control signal processing so as to recover a higher-layer packet from the UE450. The higher-layer packet coming from the controller/processor475may be provided to the core network. The controller/processor475can also perform error detection using ACK and/or NACK protocols to support HARQ operation.

In one embodiment, the UE450comprises at least one processor and at least one memory. The at least one memory includes computer program codes. The at least one memory and the computer program codes are configured to be used in collaboration with the at least one processor.
