Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED DISCLOSURE

This application is a continuation application of the U.S. applicant Ser. No. 15/972,167, field May 6, 2018, claiming the priority benefit of Chinese Patent Application 201710318202.4, filed on May 8, 2017, the full disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to transmission schemes of radio signals in wireless communication systems, and in particular to a method and a device for multi-antenna transmission.

Related Art

Massive Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) becomes one research hotspot of next-generation mobile communications. In the massive MIMO, multiple antennas experience beamforming to form a relatively narrow beam which points to a particular direction to improve the quality of communication. The massive MIMO can also form different directions through multiple antennas to serve multiple users simultaneously, thereby forming Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO), and thus improving the throughput of the massive MIMO system and reducing the delay of transmission.

In 3GPP New Radio discussion, there is some company proposing to increase the robustness of transmission using a relatively wide beam transmitting Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) and to increase the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) using a relatively narrow beam transmitting Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH). There is also some company proposing to use the PDCCH to cross-slot indicate the transmission beam of the PDSCH, so as to solve the problem of delay between a User Equipment (UE) acquiring the transmission beam of the PDSCH from the PDCCH and conducting PDSCH receiving using the beam information indicated by the PDCCH.

SUMMARY

In one embodiment, the inventor finds through research that cross-slot beam indication would result in reduction of dynamic of beam information, increase of overhead of control signaling, reduction of dynamic of scheduling, and other problems. A UE with high processing capacity can decode the PDCCH in a short time to obtain beam information that is used for receiving the PDSCH that is in the time slot of the PDCCH, and adjust a receiving beam to receive a multicarrier symbol in which the PDSCH is located. However, the delay in PDSCH transmission caused by decoding PDCCH would result in underutilization of system resources.

In view of the above problems, the present disclosure provides a solution. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the characteristics in the embodiments may be mutually combined if there is no conflict.

Embodiment 3

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of a radio protocol architecture of a user plane and a control plane. In FIG. 3, the radio protocol architecture of a UE and a base station device (gNB or eNB) is presented by three layers, which are a layer 1, a layer 2 and a layer 3 respectively. The layer 1 (L1) 301 is the lowest layer and performs signal processing functions of each PHY layer. Layers above the layer 1 belong to higher layers. The layer 1 is called PHY 301 in this paper. The layer 2 (L2) 305 is above the PHY 301, and is in charge of the link between the UE and the gNB via the PHY 301. In the user plane, the L2 305 includes a Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer 302, a Radio Link Control (RLC) sublayer 303, and a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) sublayer 304. All the three sublayers end at the gNB of the network side. Although not described in FIG. 3, the UE may include several higher layers above the L2 305, such as a network layer (i.e. IP layer) ending at a P-GW of the network side and an disclosure layer ending at the other side of the connection (i.e. a peer UE, a server, etc.).

The PDCP sublayer 304 also provides a header compression for a higher layer packet so as to reduce a radio transmission overhead. The PDCP sublayer 304 provides security by encrypting a packet and provides support for UE handover between gNBs. The RLC sublayer 303 provides segmentation and reassembling of a higher layer packet, retransmission of a lost packet, and reordering of a lost packet to as to compensate the disordered receiving caused by Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ). The MAC sublayer 302 provides multiplexing between logical channels and transport channels.
