[0014] It should be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not restrictive of the disclosure.

[0030] Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The following description refers to the accompanying drawings in which the same numbers in different accompanying drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise represented. The implementations set forth in the following description of exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects related to the disclosure as recited in the appended claims.

[0031] A method for controlling an open-loop power of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) according to embodiments of the disclosure may be applied to a wireless communication system illustrated in FIG. 1. Referring to FIG. 1, the wireless communication system includes a network device and a terminal. The terminal is connected to the network device via a wireless resource and performs data transmission. The data transmission is performed between the network device and the terminal based on beams. Enhancement may be performed on PUSCH uplink transmission based on Multi-TRP between the network device and the terminal.

[0032] It may be understood that, there may be one or more transmission and reception points (TRPs) for the network device to transmit data to the terminal based on the Multi-TRP. The network device performs the data transmission with a terminal 1 and a terminal 2 based on a TRP1 and a TRP2 in the wireless communication system illustrated in FIG. 1, which is only a schematic illustration, and is not limited.

[0033] It may be further understood that, the wireless communication system illustrated in FIG. 1 is merely a schematic illustration. The wireless communication system may also include other network devices, such as core network devices, wireless relay devices, wireless backhaul devices, and the like, which are not illustrated in FIG. 1. The number of network devices and the number of terminals included in the wireless communication system are not limited in embodiments of the disclosure.

[0034] It may be further understood that the wireless communication system in embodiments of the disclosure is a network that provides a wireless communication function. The wireless communication system may employ different communication technologies, such as code division multiple access (CDMA), wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA), and carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance. The networks may be classified into a 2nd generation (2G) network, a 3G network, a 4G network, or a future evolution network, such as a 5G network, which may also be referred to as a new radio (NR) network, based on the capacity, rate, delay and other factors of different networks. For ease of description, a wireless communication network will be sometimes abbreviated as a network in the disclosure.

[0035] Further, the network device involved in the disclosure may also be referred to as a radio access network device. The radio access network device may be a base station, an evolved node B, a home base station, an access point (AP), a wireless relay node, a wireless backhaul node, a transmission point (TP), a transmission and reception point (TRP) in a wireless fidelity (WIFI) system, or the like, or may also be a gNB in a NR system, or may also be a component or a part of a device that constitutes a base station, etc. It is to be understood that the specific technology and specific device form employed by the network device are not limited in embodiments of the disclosure. In the disclosure, the network device may provide communication coverage for a specific geographical area, and may communicate with a terminal located in the coverage area (cell). In addition, the network device may also be a vehicle-mounted device when it is used in a vehicle to everything (V2X) communication system.

[0036] Further, the terminal involved in the disclosure, which may also be referred to as a terminal device, a user equipment (UE), a mobile station (MS), a mobile terminal (MT), etc., is a device that provides voice and/or data connectivity to a user. For example, the terminal may be a handheld device with a wireless connection function, a vehicle-mounted device, or the like. Presently, some examples of the terminal include a smart phone, a customer premise equipment (CPE) a pocket personal computer (PPC), a palmtop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a notebook computer, a tablet, a wearable device, a vehicle-mounted device, or the like. In addition, the terminal device may also be the vehicle-mounted device when it is used in the vehicle to everything (V2X) communication system. It is to be understood that the specific technology and specific device form employed by the terminal are not limited in the embodiments of the disclosure.

[0037] With development of communication technologies, in order to ensure coverage, beam-based transmission and reception need to be employed. When a network device (such as a base station) has multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs), multiple TRPs/multiple panels (Multi-TRP/PANEL) may be employed to provide services to a terminal. An application of the Multi-TRP/PANEL in the network device is mainly to improve the coverage at a cell edge, to provide a more balanced service quality in a service area, and to cooperatively transmit data among the Multi-TRP/PANEL by employing different ways. From perspective of a network morphology, network deployment with a large number of distributed access points and baseband centralized processing may be more conducive to providing a balanced user-perceived rate, and significantly reducing delay and signaling overhead caused by handover. Performing channel transmission/reception based on multiple beams of multiple angles by utilizing the cooperation among the Multi-TRP/PANEL may better overcome various occlusion/blocking effects and ensure robustness of a link connection, and it is suitable for ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) traffics to improve a transmission quality and to meet a reliability requirement.

[0038] In a research stage of R16, a transmission enhancement is performed on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on an application of a downlink multi-point cooperative transmission technology among Multi-TRP/PANEL. Since data transmission includes scheduling feedback of uplink and downlink channels, service performance may not be guaranteed when only enhancing a downlink data channel in the research of URLLC. Therefore, in the research of R17, enhancement is proceeded on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

[0039] In a communication system, there are data traffics with different priorities, delay requirements or reliability requirements, such as an URLLC traffic with an extremely high requirement for delay and reliability, and an enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) traffic with a relatively low requirement for delay and reliability. Under a normal circumstance, the URLLC may be scheduled with a shorter transmission time interval, and the URLLC traffic is bursty and random, presenting a sporadic characteristic in a resource distribution and having a lower resource utilization. Therefore, it is considered that the URLLC traffic is multiplexed with an eMBB transmission, to improve the resource utilization. Different from a downlink transmission, a certain terminal may not determine whether a transmission resource of traffic data overlap with that used by another terminal to transmit a traffic of a different priority when sending uplink data.

[0040] In the disclosure, open-loop power control may be performed between the network device and the terminal. In order to ensure the reliability of the transmission of the URLLC traffic, R16 introduces an open-loop power control parameter set indication in scheduling downlink control information (DCI) to indicate a power boosting indication function for scheduling the PUSCH, and introduces a new radio resource control (RRC) parameter P0-PUSCH-Set to indicate the power control. Each sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indication (SRI) corresponds to a P0-PUSCH-Set parameter of the open-loop power control and is indicated by the open-loop power control parameter set indication field.

[0041] In the R17, for a PUSCH enhancement based on Multi-TRP/PANEL, in a PUSCH transmission scenario, a situation that the URLLC traffic sent based on the Multi-TRP conflicts with an eMBB traffic on different TRPs may be occurred, that is, conflict and interference situations of receptions of two TRPs on the network device side are different. How to enhance a power boosting mechanism of the open-loop power control (OLPC) for multiple TRPs is a topic that needs to be studied.

[0042] The network device notifies the terminal by a higher-layer signaling p0-PUSCH-SetList-r16 whether there is a power control parameter set indication field. When the higher-layer parameter p0-PUSCH-SetList-r16 is not configured, the open-loop power control parameter set indication field is 0 bit, that is, the open-loop power control parameter set indication field does not exist. The terminal obtains P0 from a P0-PUSCH-AlphaSet based on an original mechanism of the Rel-15. The open-loop power control parameter set indication field may be configured as 1 bit or 2 bits by the higher-layer signaling when the higher-layer parameter P0-PUSCH-SetList-r16 is configured.

• • [0043] 1) The open-loop power control parameter set indication field is configured as 1 bit when an SRI field exists in the DCI.
  • [0044] 2) The open-loop power control parameter set indication field may be configured as 1 bit or 2 bits based on the higher-layer signaling when no SRI field exists in the DCI.
  • [0045] 3) For the above scenario where the SRI field exists in the DCI, the mechanism of the Rel-15 is still employed to obtain P0 from the P0-PUSCH-AlphaSet based on an SRI in case that the open-loop power control parameter set indication field has a value of “0”. The terminal obtains P0 from the open-loop parameter set P0-PUSCH-Set for the power boosting based on the SRI in case that the open-loop power control parameter set indication field has a value of “1”.

[0046] For the scenario where no SRI field exists in the DCI, the RAN1 #99 meeting approved that the open-loop power control indication field in the DCI may be configured as 1 bit or 2 bits, and the parameter P0-PUSCH-Set may be configured with up to two P0 values.

[0047] In embodiments of the disclosure, the method for controlling an open-loop power of a PUSCH is applied in a scenario where a traffic confliction occurs and a power control parameter is adjusted during communication performed by the terminal. For example, in FIG. 1, a terminal 1 performs a URLLC traffic and an eMBB traffic, and a terminal 2 performs an eMBB traffic. A starting point of embodiments of the disclosure is that when the terminal 1 configured with both the eMBB traffic and the URLLC traffic conflicts with the terminal 2 configured with the eMBB traffic, the terminal 1 requires three different open-loop power levels for the power boosting of eMBB and URLLC, which may be: 1) baseline P0 for the eMBB, obtained from the P0-PUSCH-AlphaSet; 2) higher P0, used for the power boosting of the URLLC traffic that does not conflict with the eMBB; and 3) highest P0, used for the PUSCH of the URLLC conflicting with the eMBB.

[0048] In order to more clearly describe how the terminal determines P0 based on the higher-layer parameter and a DCI indication, please refer to Table 1. Table 1 illustrates how the terminal determines P0 based on the higher-layer parameter and the DCI indication.

[0050] In the related art, data transmission is performed between the network device and the terminal based on beams. In R17, the enhancement may be performed on the PUSCH uplink transmission based on the Multi-TRP between the network device and the terminal. For an enhancement solution of the PUSCH based on the Multi-TRP, a situation that the URLLC traffic sent based on the multi-TRP conflicts with the eMBB traffic in different TRPs may also be occurred in a PUSCH transmission scenario. That is, there are different confliction and interference situations for the reception of two TRPs of the network device. Based on a current adjustment way, a scheduled PUSCH where the confliction occurs corresponds to a power boosting adjustment parameter of an open-loop power, and the terminal may not determine which TRP has the resource confliction. Therefore, the open-loop power may merely be adjusted in two different TRP transmission directions simultaneously based on the same power boosting parameter of the open-loop power, which may cause the terminal to waste a precious transmission power and directly increase the interference to other users, thereby leading to a problem that a system performance is reduced. Therefore, a power boosting mechanism of the OLPC needs to be enhanced.

[0051] Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method for controlling an open-loop power of a PUSCH. In the method for controlling an open-loop power of a PUSCH, one or more power boosting parameters corresponding to one or more TRPs are configured for the terminal, power boosting parameters used when the PUSCH is sent based on a multi-TRP cooperation are indicated, and the power boosting parameters used when the PUSCH is sent correspond to different cooperative TRPs to which the PUSCH is sent, so that an enhanced method for controlling the open-loop power of the PUSCH is implemented.

[0052] In embodiments of the disclosure, for convenience of description, indication information configured to indicate the power boosting parameters used when the PUSCH is sent based on the multi-TRP cooperation is called first indication information.

[0053] FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating a method for controlling an open-loop power of a PUSCH according to an exemplary embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the method for controlling an open-loop power of a PUSCH includes the following steps.

[0054] At step S11, an open-loop power control (OLPC) parameter required by a terminal is configured and determined. The OLPC parameter includes one or more power boosting parameters corresponding to one or more transmission and reception point (TRPs).

[0055] At step S12, first indication information is sent. The first indication information is configured to indicate power boosting parameters used when the PUSCH is sent based on a multi-TRP cooperation. The power boosting parameters used when the PUSCH is sent correspond to different cooperative TRPs to which the PUSCH is sent.

[0056] With the method for controlling an open-loop power of a PUSCH according to embodiments of the disclosure, the OLPC parameter required by the terminal is configured, the OLPC parameter includes the one or more power boosting parameters corresponding to the one or more TRPs, and the power boosting parameters used when the PUSCH is sent based on the multi-TRP cooperation are indicated through the first indication information, which may implement that the power boosting parameters used when the PUSCH is sent correspond to different cooperative TRPs to which the PUSCH is sent, enhancement is performed on the power boosting parameters of the multiple TRPs, and the OLPC parameter is used for the multiple TRPs to realize expansion and enhancement for the power boosting, thereby implementing enhancement on the power boosting mechanism of the OLPC.

[0057] In an implementation of the method for controlling an open-loop power of a PUSCH according to embodiments of the disclosure, a radio resource control (RRC) configuration of the power boosting parameters of the OLPC may be enhanced, to support configuring power boosting parameters respectively for the PUSCH sent to different TRPs.

[0058] FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating a method for controlling an open-loop power of a PUSCH according to an exemplary embodiment. The method illustrated in FIG. 3 includes the following step.

[0059] At step S21, the OLPC parameter is determined based on RRC configuration information. The RRC configuration information is used to configure power boosting parameters respectively for the PUSCH sent to different TRPs.

[0060] In the method for controlling an open-loop power of a PUSCH according to embodiments of the disclosure, the extended and enhanced RRC configuration information may be enhanced by at least one of following ways, so as to support a PUSCH power boosting control parameter configuration extended to the multiple TRPs.

• • [0061] Way 1: a set of PUSCH power boosting parameter configurations (p0-PUSCH-SetList-r16) is configured, and each set corresponds to an SRS resource set. In this case, the RRC configuration information includes multiple sets of PUSCH power boosting parameter configurations, and different sets of PUSCH power boosting parameter configurations in the multiple sets of PUSCH power boosting parameter configurations correspond to different SRS resource sets.
  • [0062] Way2: an SRI resource set identification (sri-resource-setId) is configured in each P0-PUSCH-Set-r16 to indicate a specific SRS resource set. That is, the RRC configuration information includes the SRI resource set identification, and a corresponding relationship between sets of PUSCH power boosting parameter configurations and SRS resource sets is established based on the SRI resource set identification.
  • [0063] Way 3: a “p0-List-r16” is configured in each P0-PUSCH-Set-r16 for indicating an extended P0. That is, the RRC configuration information includes multiple groups of power parameter configurations, and the multiple groups of power parameter configurations are included in a set of PUSCH power boosting parameter configurations.

[0064] With the method for controlling an open-loop power of a PUSCH according to embodiments of the disclosure, a power indication of the OLPC in the DCI needs to be enhanced to support indicating different power boosting parameters respectively for the PUSCH sent to different TRPs. That is, the network device may send the first indication information via the DCI in embodiments of the disclosure.

[0065] FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating a method for controlling an open-loop power of a PUSCH according to an exemplary embodiment. The method illustrated in FIG. 4 includes the following step.

[0066] At step S31, the first indication information is sent based on downlink control information (DCI).

[0067] In the method for controlling an open-loop power of a PUSCH according to embodiments of the disclosure, a DCI field may be extended, and the power boosting parameters for sending the PUSCH to different TRPs may be independently indicated based on the extended DCI field. In an example, in embodiments of the disclosure, the DCI fields in the DCI configured to independently indicate the power boosting parameters for sending the PUSCH to different TRPs are called a first indication field and a second indication field. The first indication field is configured to indicate a power boosting parameter for sending the PUSCH to a first TRP, and the second indication field is configured to indicate a power boosting parameter for sending the PUSCH to a second TRP.

[0068] In the method for controlling an open-loop power of a PUSCH according to embodiments of the disclosure, in response to SRI information that indicates transmissions to different TRPs existing in the DCI, a 1-bit indication field may be extended, and each indication field is configured to indicate whether the power boosting parameter is indicated. That is, for different cooperative TRPs to which the PUSCH is sent, a power boosting parameter for sending the PUSCH in a TRP transmission direction is obtained in an association manner from a set of open-loop power parameters indicated by the first indication field or the second indication field of the DCI by SRI information indicated in the TRP transmission direction.

[0069] In the method for controlling an open-loop power of a PUSCH according to embodiments of the disclosure, in response to SRI information that indicates transmissions to different TRPs not existing in the DCI, for different cooperative TRPs to which the PUSCH is sent, a power boosting parameter for sending the PUSCH in a TRP transmission direction exists in an association manner in a set of OLPC parameters indicated by the first indication field or the second indication field. That is, in the case that no SRI field exists in the DCI, a 1-bit indication field or a 2-bit indication field may be extended, and each indication field is configured to indicate whether the power boosting parameter is indicated and indicate which power boosting parameter is used.

[0070] Further, in embodiments of the disclosure, the set of open-loop power parameters indicated by the first indication field and/or the second indication field may be P0-PUSCH-AlphaSet in the mechanism of the Rel-15, or may be P0-PUSCH-SetList-r16 in the mechanism of the R-16.

[0071] In the method for controlling an open-loop power of a PUSCH according to embodiments of the disclosure, the DCI field may be extended, and the power boosting parameters for sending the PUSCH to different TRPs may be jointly indicated based on the extended DCI field.

[0072] In an example, in embodiments of the disclosure, jointly indicating the power boosting parameters for sending the PUSCH to different TRPs by the extended DCI field may include using an OLPC power code point to correspond to the one or more TRPs associated with sending the PUSCH and to associate with a PUSCH power set corresponding to the one or more TRPs.

[0073] In an example, in embodiments of the disclosure, in response to the SRI information that indicates transmissions to different TRPs existing in the DCI, a schematic corresponding relationship indicating that the OLPC power code point corresponds to the one or more TRPs associated with sending the PUSCH and is associated with the PUSCH power set corresponding to the TRP may be shown in following tables 2 and 3.

[0074] Table 2 shows that the DCI includes the SRI information indicating transmissions to different TRPs, and shows the corresponding relationship between the OLPC power code points and the TRPs associated with sending the PUSCH by 2 bits.

[0077] Table 3 shows that the DCI includes SRI information indicating transmissions to different TRPs, and indicates the corresponding relationship between the OLPC power code points and the TRPs associated with sending the PUSCH by 3 bits.

[0078] It may be understood that, as illustrated in Tables 2 and 3 in embodiments of the disclosure, by introducing support of two P0 values, a power control boosting is introduced when the terminal simultaneously configured with the eMBB and URLLC traffics conflicts with the terminal configured with the eMBB. Further, the corresponding relationships between the OLPC power code points and the TRPs associated with sending the PUSCH illustrated in Table 2 and Table 3 in embodiments of the disclosure are merely for schematic illustration, not for limitation, and other corresponding relationships may be possible.

[0079] In an example, in embodiments of the disclosure, in case that no SRI information indicating transmissions to different TRPs exists in the DCI, a schematic corresponding relationship indicating that the OLPC power code point corresponds to the one or more TRPs associated with sending the PUSCH and is associated with the PUSCH power set corresponding to the TRP may be shown in following Table 4.

[0082] It may be understood that, the corresponding relationship between the OLPC power code points and the TRPs associated with sending the PUSCH illustrated in Table 3 in embodiments of the disclosure is only for schematic illustration, not for limitation, and other corresponding relationships may be possible.

[0083] In the method for controlling an open-loop power of a PUSCH according to embodiments of the disclosure, in another implementation, the power boosting parameters used when the PUSCH is sent based on the multi-TRP cooperation may be indicated by extending transmit power control (TPC) indication information. That is, the first indication information may be sent based on the TPC in embodiments of the disclosure.

[0084] In the method for controlling an open-loop power of a PUSCH according to embodiments of the disclosure, firstly, the RRC configuration information that needs to be extended and enhanced may be enhanced in following ways, to support the PUSCH power boosting control parameter configuration extended to multiple TRPs.

In case that the DCI includes the SRI information indicating transmissions to different TRPs, a 1-bit indication field may be extended, and each indication field is configured to indicate whether the power boosting parameter is indicated. That is, for different cooperative TRPs to which the PUSCH is sent, the power boosting parameter for sending the PUSCH in the TRP transmission direction is obtained from the set of open-loop power parameters indicated by the first indication field or the second indication field of the DCI by the SRI information indicated in the TRP transmission direction.
