Transmission resource determining method and device, user equipment and storage medium

This application is a National Phase application filed under 35 U.S.C. 371 as a national stage of PCT/CN2018/080497, filed on Mar. 26, 2018, an application claiming the priority of the Chinese patent application No. 201710183865.X, filed on Mar. 24, 2017, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of communication, and in particular, to a transmission resource determining method and device, a user equipment, and a storage medium.

In a 5G (5 th Generation) network scenario, there may be a user equipment accessing a base station at any time. Since a channel may be a frequency-selective fading channel, a user equipment that has been scheduled at a frequency deep fading position may be unable to establish a contact with a base station side in a longer time period, resulting in communication failure. For this problem, it is necessary to periodically adjust a frequency position of a single user to be scheduled for a time period so as to enable, in statistical meaning, the single user to jump out of a bad condition in which the single user is located in a long-term deep fading channel. The method for adjusting the frequency position of a communication between the user equipment and the base station side is called as frequency hopping. The frequency hopping can not only effectively improve channel for the user equipment located in the long-term deep fading, but also improve communication performance of the user equipment, even for the user equipment that is already in a good channel condition, by increasing a frequency domain diversity of the user equipment.

In addition, it is inevitable that the same frequency resource block is allocated to a plurality of user equipments for signal sharing due to limitation of a frequency domain resource. That is, signals of the plurality of user equipments collide on the same frequency domain resource block. Although the signals of the plurality of user equipments scheduled on the same frequency resource block can be demodulated by a code division technology or power division technology, demodulation effect is seriously affected by different signal-to-noise ratios of the signals of the plurality of user equipments and different collision relationships of the user equipments in combined transmission. For example, when user equipment signals having the same signal-to-noise ratio are transmitted on the same resource block, the demodulation effect is relatively poor. The user equipment signals having obviously different signal-to-noise ratios are transmitted on the same resource block, these signals can be relatively effectively demodulated by technical methods such as SIC (Successive Interference Cancellation).

In view of the above problems, the frequency hopping can periodically adjust frequency domain resources of all of accessed user equipments to periodically adjust the collision relationship of the user equipment signals. Thus, a receiver at the base station side has an opportunity to effectively demodulate the signals based on a more suitable combined collision relationship of the user equipments.

However, in the related art, there is no effective solution that can effectively schedule the plurality of user equipments to ergodically schedule the signal transmission of the user equipment on the frequency domain resources and to realize ergodicity of the collision relationships between the plurality of user equipments.

A technical problem to be solved by the present disclosure is to provide a transmission resource determining method and device, a user equipment, and a storage medium, so as to solve the problem that a plurality of user equipments cannot be effectively allocated in the related art.

In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a transmission resource determining method, including: deriving, by a user equipment, a hopping rule of a used transmission resource, wherein in the hopping rule, the transmission resource used after a current hopping is associated with at least two of: frequency domain information corresponding to a physical resource used in the latest transmission, time domain information of the latest transmission, and identification information used in the latest transmission, and the identification information is used to distinguish a plurality of user equipments using the same resource for information transmission; and performing, by the user equipment, a corresponding transmission resource hopping at a preset time interval according to the hopping rule.

In another aspect, the present disclosure further provides a transmission resource determining device, including: a deriving unit configured to enable a user equipment to derive a hopping rule of a used transmission resource, wherein in the hopping rule, the transmission resource used after a current hopping is associated with at least two of: frequency domain information corresponding to a physical resource used in the latest transmission, time domain information of the latest transmission, and identification information used in the latest transmission, and the identification information is configured to distinguish a plurality of user equipments using the same resource for information transmission; and a hopping unit configured to enable the user equipment to perform a corresponding transmission resource hopping at a preset time interval according to the hopping rule.

In yet another aspect, the present disclosure provides user equipment, including a processor for processing data, and a memory configured to store data, wherein the memory is configured to store an instruction for implementing a transmission resource determining method; and the processor is configured to execute the instruction stored in the memory. When the processor executes the instruction stored in the memory, executing steps including: acquiring a hopping rule of a used transmission resource, wherein in the hopping rule, the transmission resource used after a current hopping is associated with at least two of: frequency domain information corresponding to a physical resource used in the latest transmission, time domain information of the latest transmission, and identification information used in the latest transmission, and the identification information is used to distinguish a plurality of user equipments using the same resource for information transmission; and performing a corresponding transmission resource hopping at a preset time interval according to the hopping rule.

In still another aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a storage medium in which a computer-executable instruction is stored, wherein the computer-executable instruction is used to execute the above transmission resource determining method.

According to the transmission resource determining method and device, the user equipment and the storage medium provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, which transmission resource each of the user equipments jumps to is only related to the frequency domain resource, the time domain resource or the identification resource used before the hopping. Thus, a collision probability when the plurality of user equipments perform resource hopping is effectively reduced, and the user equipment signals having obviously different signal-to-noise ratios can be transmitted on the same resource block more easily. A collision relationship of the user equipment signals is periodically adjusted by periodically adjusting frequency domain resources of all of accessed user equipments, so that a receiver at a base station side has an opportunity to effectively demodulate the signals based on a more suitable combined collision relationship of the user equipments.

The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 1 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a transmission resource determining method, which includes the following steps S 11 to S 12 .

In step S 11 , a user equipment derives a hopping rule of a used transmission resource, wherein in the hopping rule, the transmission resource used after a current hopping is associated with at least two of: frequency domain information corresponding to a physical resource used in the latest transmission, time domain information of the latest transmission, and identification information used in the latest transmission; and the identification information is used to distinguish a plurality of user equipments using the same resource for information transmission.

In step S 12 , the user equipment performs a corresponding transmission resource hopping at a preset time interval according to the hopping rule.

In the transmission resource determining method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, which transmission resource each of the user equipments jumps to is only related to the frequency domain resource, the time domain resource or the identification resource used before the hopping. Thus, a collision probability when the plurality of user equipments perform resource hopping is effectively reduced, and the user equipment signals having obviously different signal-to-noise ratios can be transmitted on the same resource block more easily. A collision relationship of the user equipment signals is periodically adjusted by periodically adjusting frequency domain resources of all of accessed user equipments, so that a receiver at a base station side has an opportunity to effectively demodulate the signals based on a more suitable combined collision relationship of the user equipment.

In an implementation, each of the user equipments can determine a hopping rule of the transmission resource with a base station that the user equipment corresponds to. After both the user equipment and the base station derive the corresponding hopping rule, the user equipment can perform transmission resource hopping according to the corresponding rule.

Here, the frequency domain information corresponding to the physical resource used in the latest transmission may include a resource unit (RU) sequence number used in the previous transmission. The time domain information of the latest transmission may include a sub-frame sequence number used for transmission in the latest transmission, or a time slot sequence number at the latest transmission, or a symbol sequence number at the latest transmission, or the number of resource hopping times. The identification information used in the latest transmission may include sequence coding information or power intensity information used in the latest transmission. The sequence coding information may include pilot sequence information and/or spreading sequence information.

Here, the hopping rule may include one or more of following rules: a function based hopping rule, an orthogonal Latin square based hopping rule, and a Latin square based hopping rule.

It is assumed that in a communication system, there are N RUs, including RU 0 , RU 1 , . . . , and RU N-1 can be scheduled, M UEs are scheduled on the N RUs, and each of the scheduled UE 0 , UE 1 , . . . , and UE M-1 performs frequency hopping every Δt time.

As shown in FIG. 2 , for the function based hopping rule, a scheduled UE k is scheduled on a RU y k,r-1 at t, and the value of a parameter X is x k,r-1 . Then, after performing the r-th frequency hopping at t+Δt, the UE k is scheduled on RU y k,r , and the value of the parameter X is x k,r .

For the UE k , the sequence number y k,r of the RU is determined by y k,r-1 , x k,r-1 and r before the r-th frequency hopping. The function based hopping rule can be expressed by the following equation:

y k,r =F ( y k,r-1 ,x k,r-1 ,r )  (1).

For any UE k , the parameter x k,r can be a variable determined by y k,r-1 , x k,r-1 and r. This can be expressed as the following equation:

x k,r =G ( y k,r-1 ,x k,r-1 ,r )  (2).

Where k is a sequence number of the user equipment (UE), r is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, and y k,r is a sequence number of a frequency domain resource to which the UE k jumps for the r-th time; x k,r is a sequence number of identification information after the UE k jumps for the r-th time; y k,0 indicates a sequence number of a frequency domain resource initially used by the UE k ; and x k,0 is a sequence number of identification information initially used by the UE k . That is, y k,r is the sequence number of the frequency domain resource to which the scheduled UE k jumps for the r-th time; y k,r-1 is the sequence number of a frequency domain resource to which the UE k jumps for the (r−1)-th time; x k,r , is the sequence number of the identification information after the user equipment UE k jumps for the r-th time; and x k,r-1 is a sequence number of identification information after the UE k jumps for the (r−1)-th time.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the function F and the function G may be in various forms as long as the corresponding frequency domain resource hopping can be implemented, which are not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, F(y k,r-1 ,x k,r-1 ,r) may be a modulo function; and G(y k,r-1 ,x k,r-1 ,r) may be a modulo function or a constant. For example, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, specific definitions of the functions G and F can be as follows:

x k,r =mod( x k,r-1 +Δx k,r ,M ) or x k,r =x k,r-1   (3); and

y k,r =mod( y k,r-1 +Δy k,r ,N )  (4).

Where the operator mod represents a modulo operation; x k,r is obtained by performing, by x k,r-1 +x k,r , the modulo operation on M, or is equal to x k,r-1 ; y k,r is obtained by performing, by y k,r-1 +Δy k,r , the modulo operation on N; Δx k,r is a moving step length from x k,r-1 to x k,r ; Δ k,r is a moving step length from y k,r-1 to y k,r ; N is the number of resource units; and M is the maximum number of the user equipments that each resource unit can carry. For example, the following equation can be provided:

Δ y k,r =x k,r-1 +r− 1+Δ y init   (5).

Where Δy init is a preset offset, and is an integer greater than or equal to zero.

Optionally, different functions may form different resource determination methods, and are separately described below.

Function 1

In this embodiment, the function G and the function F can be expressed as follows:

x k,r =x k,r-1   (6); and

y k,r =mod( y k,r-1 +x k,r +r− 1+Δ y init ,N )  (7).

Where Δy init is a preset offset, and is an integer greater than or equal to zero.

Δy init =┌N/2┐, ┌ ┐ indicates rounding up to an integer.

Function 2

x k,r =mod( x k,r-1 +y k,r-1 +Δx init ,M )  (8); and

y k,r =mod( y k,r-1 +x k,r +r− 1+Δ y init ,N )  (9).

Where Δx init and Δy init are preset offsets, and are integers greater than or equal to zero.

Function 3

x k,r =mod( x k,r-1 +y k,r-1 *└r/N┘+Δx init ,M )  (10); and

y k,r =mod( y k,r-1 +x k,r +r− 1+Δ y init ,N )  (11).

Where └ ┘ indicates rounding down to an integer; and

Δx init and Δy init are preset offsets, and are integers greater than or equal to zero.

Where Δx init and Δy init are preset offsets, and are integers greater than or equal to zero.

Function 5

x k,r =mod( x k,r-1 +y k,r-1 +Δx init ,M )  (15); and

y k,r =mod( y k,r-1 +Δy ( x k,r )+Δ y init ,N )  (16).

Where Δy is a sequence formed by random rearrangement of a sequence [0, 1, . . . , M−1]; and Δy(x k,r ) is the (x k,r )-th element in the sequence Δy, Δx init and Δy init are preset offsets, are integers greater than or equal to zero, and keep constant in the whole hopping process.

By adopting the above technology, the transmission resource determining method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can effectively schedule a plurality of user equipments, so that signal transmission of the user equipment on the frequency domain resources can be ergodically scheduled, and ergodicity of collision relationships between the plurality of user equipments is realized.

The transmission resource determining methods formed by the different functions are described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

Table 1.1 shows an initial resource sharing situation in which there are 4 RUs, each of which carries at most 4 UEs. UE 0 , UE 1 , UE 2 , and UE 3 can be carried on RU 0 , UE 4 , UE 5 , UE 6 and UE 7 can be carried on RU 1 . UE 8 , UE 9 , UE 10 and UE 11 can be carried on RU 2 . UE 12 , UE 13 , UE 14 and UE 15 can be carried on RU 3 . As shown in Table 1.1, the values of identification information parameters X used by the UEs, namely, UE 0 , UE 4 , UE 8 and UE 12 which are on the different RUs but in the same column can be the same, e.g. X=0, which can be noted as X0. Based on this, one example is that the values of identification information parameters X used by the 4 UEs on the same RU can be 0, 1, 2 and 3, respectively. In another example, the value of identification information parameter X used by a UE can be the pilot sequence information used by the UE, e.g. pilot ID, pilot port ID, or pilot sequence ID, or can be the spreading sequence information used by the UE, e.g. spreading sequence ID. Actually, some of the UEs may not exist. If some UEs do not exist actually, hopping operations of other actually existing UEs are unaffected.

Here, the number of RUs is N=4, and the maximum number of UEs carried by each RU is M=4. According to a criterion shown in Equations 1.1 and 1.2, resource sharing situations after the first frequency hopping to the eighth frequency hopping can be calculated based on the initial resource sharing situation shown in Table 1.1, as shown from Table 1.2 to Table 1.9. Based on this criterion, X parameters used by each of the UEs are unchanged.

x k,r =x k,r-1   (1.1); and

y k,r =mod( y k,r-1 +x k,r +r− 1+Δ y init ,N )  (1.2).

Here, Δy init =┌N/2┐, and ┌ ┐ indicates rounding up to an integer; and r is the number of frequency hopping times.

As shown in Table 1.9 and Table 1.1, the resource sharing situation after the eighth frequency hopping and the resource sharing situation before the frequency hoppings are exactly the same. This shows that a cycle of this frequency hopping method is 8.

Table 2.1 shows an initial scheduling distribution in which there are 4 RUs, each of which carries at most 2 UEs. UE 0 and UE 1 are carried on RU 0 . UE 2 and UE 3 are carried on RU 1 . UE 4 and UE 5 are carried on RU 2 . UE 6 and UE 7 are carried on RU 3 . As shown in Table 2.1, the values of identification information parameters X used by the UEs, namely, UE 0 , UE 2 , UE 4 and UE 6 which are on the different RUs but in the same column are the same. Actually, some of the UEs may not exist. If some UEs do not exist actually, hopping operations of other actually existing UEs are unaffected.

Here, the number of RUs is N=4, and the maximum number of UEs carried by each RU is M=2. According to a criterion shown in Equations 2.1 and 2.2, resource sharing situations after the first frequency hopping to the eighth frequency hopping can be calculated based on the initial resource sharing situation shown in Table 2.1, as shown from Table 2.2 to Table 2.9. Based on this criterion, X parameters used by each of the UEs are unchanged.

x k,r =x k,r-1   (2.1); and

y k,r =mod( y k,r-1 +x k,r +r− 1+Δ y init N )  (2.2).

Here, Δy init =┌N/2┐, and ┌ ┐ indicates rounding up to an integer; and r is the number of frequency hopping times.

Table 3.1 shows an initial scheduling distribution in which there are 4 RUs, each of which carries at most 5 UEs. UE 0 , UE 1 , UE 2 , UE 3 and UE 4 are carried on RU 0 . UE 5 , UE 6 , UE 7 , UE 8 and UE 9 are carried on RU 1 . UE 10 , UE 11 , UE 12 , UE 13 and UE 14 are carried on RU 2 . UE 15 , UE 16 , UE 17 , UE 18 and UE 19 are carried on RU 3 . As shown in Table 3.1, the values of identification information parameters X used by the UEs, namely, UE 0 , UE 5 , UE 10 and UE 15 which are on the different RUs but in the same column are the same. Actually, some of the UEs may not exist. If some UEs do not exist actually, hopping operations of other actually existing UEs are unaffected.

Here, the number of RUs is N=4, and the maximum number of UEs carried by each RU is M=5. According to criterion shown in Equations 3.1 and 3.2, resource sharing situations after the first frequency hopping to the eighth frequency hopping can be calculated based on the initial resource sharing situation shown in Table 3.1, as shown from Table 3.2 to Table 3.9. Based on this criterion, X parameters used by each of the UEs are unchanged.

x k,r =x k,r-1   (3.1); and

y k,r =mod( y k,r-1 +x k,r +r− 1+Δ y init ,N )  (3.2).

Here, Δy init =┌N/2┐, and ┌ ┐ indicates rounding up to an integer; and r is the number of frequency hopping times.

It can be seen that the resource sharing situation after the eighth frequency hopping shown in Table 3.9 and the resource sharing situation before the frequency hoppings shown in Table 3.1 are exactly the same. This shows that a scheduling change cycle of the frequency hopping is still 8.

Table 4.1 shows an initial scheduling distribution in which there are 4 RUs, each of which carries at most 4 UEs. UE 0 , UE 1 , UE 2 , and UE 3 are carried on RU 0 . UE 4 , UE 5 , UE 6 and UE 7 are carried on RU 1 . UE 8 , UE 9 , UE 10 and UE 11 are carried on RU 2 . UE 12 , UE 13 , UE 14 and UE 15 are carried on RU 3 . As shown in Table 4.1, the values of identification information parameters X used by the UEs, namely, UE 0 , UE 4 , UE 8 and UE 12 which are on the different RUs but in the same column are the same. Actually, some of the UEs may not exist. If some UEs do not exist actually, hopping operations of other actually existing UEs are unaffected.

Here, the number of RUs is N=4, and the maximum number of UEs carried by each RU is M=4. According to criterion shown in Equations 4.1 and 4.2, based on the initial resource sharing situation shown in Table 4.1, a resource sharing situation after the first frequency hopping is calculated, then a resource sharing situation after the second frequency hopping is calculated based on the resource sharing situation after the first frequency hopping, and so on, as shown from Table 4.2 to Table 4.13. Based on this criterion, X parameters used by each of the UEs are changeable.

x k,r =mod( x k,r-1 +y k,r-1 +Δx init ,M )  (4.1); and

y k,r =mod( y k,r-1 +x k,r +r− 1+Δ y init ,N )  (4.2).

Here, Δx init =0, and Δy init =┌N/2┐; and r is the number of frequency hopping times.

It can be seen from Table 4.1 and Table 4.13 that the resource sharing situation after the twelfth frequency hopping and the resource sharing situation before the frequency hoppings are exactly the same, so that a change cycle of the UE resource sharing situation based on the current frequency hopping criterion is 12.

Table 5.1 shows an initial scheduling distribution in which there are 4 RUs, each of which carries at most 4 UEs. UE 0 , UE 1 , UE 2 , and UE 3 are carried on RU 0 . UE 4 , UE 5 , UE 6 and UE 7 are carried on RU 1 . UE 8 , UE 9 , UE 10 and UE 11 are carried on RU 2 . UE 12 , UE 13 , UE 14 and UE 15 are carried on RU 3 . As shown in Table 5.1, the values of identification information parameters X used by the UEs, namely, UE 0 , UE 4 , UE 8 and UE 12 which are on the different RUs but in the same column are the same. Actually, some of the UEs may not exist. If some UEs do not exist actually, hopping operations of other actually existing UEs are unaffected.

Here, the number of RUs is N=4, and the maximum number of UEs carried by each RU is M=4. According to a criterion shown in Equations 5.1 and 5.2, based on the initial resource sharing situation shown in Table 5.1, a resource sharing situation after the first frequency hopping is calculated, then a resource sharing situation after the second frequency hopping is calculated based on the resource sharing situation after the first frequency hopping, and so on a resource sharing situation after the twelfth frequency hopping is calculated, as shown from Table 5.2 to Table 5.13. Based on this criterion, X parameters used by each of the UEs are changeable.

x k,r =mod( x k,r-1 +y k,r-1 *└r/N┘+Δx init ,M )  (5.1); and

y k,r =mod( y k,r-1 +x k,r +r− 1+Δ y init ,N )  (5.2).

Here, Δx init =0, and Δy init =┌N/2┐.

It can be seen from Table 5.12 and Table 5.8 that the resource sharing situation after the eleventh frequency hopping and the resource sharing situation after the seventh frequency hopping are exactly the same.

It can be seen from Table 5.13 and Table 5.1 that after the twelfth frequency hopping, a collision combination relationship the same as the initial resource sharing situation appears, but the locations of the UEs on the RUs are still different from those in the initial resource sharing situation.

Through further deduction, it can be found that based on this frequency hopping criterion, the initial resource sharing situation will not appear again completely until the forty-eighth frequency hopping.

Table 6.1 shows an initial scheduling distribution in which there are 4 RUs, each of which carries at most 4 UEs. UE 0 , UE 1 , UE 2 , and UE 3 are carried on RU 0 . UE 4 , UE 5 , UE 6 and UE 7 are carried on RU 1 . UE 8 , UE 9 , UE 10 and UE 11 are carried on RU 2 . UE 12 , UE 13 , UE 14 and UE 15 are carried on RU 3 . As shown in Table 6.1, the values of identification information parameters X used by the UEs, namely, UE 0 , UE 4 , UE 8 and UE 12 which are on the different RUs but in the same column are the same. Actually, some of the UEs may not exist. If some UEs do not exist actually, hopping operations of other actually existing UEs are unaffected.

Here, the number of RUs is N=4, and the maximum number of UEs carried by each RU is M=4. According to a criterion shown in Equations 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3, based on the initial resource sharing situation shown in Table 6.1, a resource sharing situation after the first frequency hopping is calculated, then a resource sharing situation after the second frequency hopping is calculated based on the resource sharing situation after the first frequency hopping, . . . , and similarly, a resource sharing situation after the twelfth frequency hopping is calculated, as shown from Table 6.2 to Table 6.13. Based on this criterion, X parameters used by each of the UEs are changeable.

Here, Δx init =0, and Δy init =0.

It can be seen from Table 6.1 to Table 6.13 that there is no recurrence of any one of collision relationships. If the deduction is continued according to this frequency hopping criterion, the initial resource sharing situation will appear again completely after the 168 th frequency hopping.

Table 7.1 shows an initial scheduling distribution in which there are 4 RUs, each of which carries at most 4 UEs. UE 0 , UE 1 , UE 2 , and UE 3 are carried on RU 0 . UE 4 , UE 5 , UE 6 and UE 7 are carried on RU 1 . UE 8 , UE 9 , UE 10 and UE 11 are carried on RU 2 . UE 12 , UE 13 , UE 14 and UE 15 are carried on RU 3 . As shown in Table 7.1, the values of identification information parameters X used by the UEs, namely, UE 0 , UE 4 , UE 8 and UE 12 which are on the different RUs but in the same column are the same. Actually, some of the UEs may not exist. If some UEs do not exist actually, hopping operations of other actually existing UEs are unaffected.

Here, the number of RUs is N=4, and the maximum number of UEs carried by each RU is M=4. According to a criterion shown in Equations 7.1 and 7.2, a resource sharing situation after the first frequency hopping is calculated based on the initial resource sharing situation shown in Table 7.1, then a resource sharing situation after the second frequency hopping is calculated based on the resource sharing situation after the first frequency hopping, and so on a resource sharing situation after the twelfth frequency hopping is calculated, as shown from Table 7.2 to Table 7.13. Based on this criterion, X parameters used by each of the UEs are changeable.

x k,r =mod( x k,r-1 +y k,r-1 +Δx init ,M )  (7.1); and

y k,r =mod( y k,r-1 +Δy ( x k,r )+Δ y init ,N )  (7.2).

Here, Δy is a sequence formed by random rearrangement of a sequence [0, 1, . . . , M−1]; and Δy(x k,r ) is the (x k,r )-th element in the sequence Δy. Δx init =0, and Δy init =0.

As shown from Table 7.1 to Table 7.13, there is no recurrence of any one of collision relationships. If the deduction is continued according to this frequency hopping criterion, it can be found that there is still no exactly the same situation as the initial resource sharing situation before the frequency hopping at the 200 th frequency hopping.

Table 8.1 shows an initial scheduling distribution in which there are 4 RUs, each of which carries at most 2 UEs. UE 0 and UE 1 are carried on RU 0 . UE 2 and UE 3 are carried on RU 1 . UE 4 and UEs are carried on RU 2 . UE 6 and UE 7 are carried on RU 3 . As shown in Table 8.1, the values of identification information parameters X used by the UEs, namely, UE 0 , UE 2 , UE 4 and UE 6 which are on the different RUs but in the same column are the same. Actually, some of the UEs may not exist. If some UEs do not exist actually, hopping operations of other actually existing UEs are unaffected.

Here, the number of RUs is N=4, and the maximum number of UEs carried by each RU is M=2. According to a criterion shown in Equations 8.1 and 8.2, a resource sharing situation after the first frequency hopping is calculated based on the initial resource sharing situation shown in Table 8.1, then a resource sharing situation after the second frequency hopping is calculated based on the resource sharing situation after the first frequency hopping, and so on a resource sharing situation after the twelfth frequency hopping is calculated, as shown from Table 8.2 to Table 8.13. Based on this criterion, X parameters used by each of the UEs are changeable.

x k,r =mod( x k,r-1 +y k,r-1 +Δx init ,M )  (8.1); and

y k,r =mod( y k,r-1 +Δy ( x k,r )+Δ y init ,N )  (8.2).

Here, Δy is a sequence formed by random rearrangement of a sequence [0, 1, . . . , M−1]; and Δy(x k,r ) is the (x k,r )-th element in the sequence Δy. Δx init =0, and Δy init =0.

It can be seen from Table 8.1 to Table 8.13 that there is no resource sharing situation that is exactly the same as the initial resource sharing situation before frequency hopping till the twelfth frequency hopping. If the deduction is continued according to this frequency hopping criterion, the resource sharing situation after the forty-third frequency hopping can be exactly the same as that after the twenty-fifth frequency hopping.

The function based hopping rule is explained in detail through the above embodiments. Further, in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the hopping rule may also be described based on an orthogonal Latin square or a Latin square.

Optionally, the orthogonal Latin square based hopping rule may include: in an L-order orthogonal Latin square G, a UE which has the identification information parameter value of l and which is located on the k-th resource unit (RU) is allocated to the m-th RU after the hopping, and an identification information parameter value of the UE is set to be n, wherein (m, n) is an element in the k-th row and the l-th column of the L-order orthogonal Latin square G; and 1≤k,l, m, n≤L.

Table 9.1 shows an initial scheduling distribution in which there are 4 RUs, each of which carries at most 4 UEs. UE 0 , UE 1 , UE 2 , and UE 3 are carried on RU 0 . UE 4 , UE 5 , UE 6 and UE 7 are carried on RU 1 . UE 8 , UE 9 , UE 10 and UE 11 are carried on RU 2 . UE 12 , UE 13 , UE 14 and UE 15 are carried on RU 3 . As shown in Table 9.1, the values of identification information parameters X used by the UEs, namely, UE 0 , UE 4 , UE 8 and UE 12 which are on the different RUs but in the same column are the same. Actually, some of the UEs may not exist. If some UEs do not exist actually, hopping operations of other actually existing UEs are unaffected.

Here, the number of RUs is N=4, and the maximum number of UEs carried by each RU is M=4. Frequency hopping is performed according to the orthogonal Latin square shown in Table 9.2.

According to an element (m 1 , n 1 ) in the k 1 -th row and the l 1 -th column in Table 9.2, the UE currently located on the k 1 -th RU and having the X parameter value l 1 is jumped to a position on the m 1 -th RU and having the X parameter value n 1 . At the second frequency hopping, according to an element (k 2 , l 2 ) in the m 1 -th row and the n 1 -th column in Table 9.2, the UE located on the m 1 -th RU and having the X parameter value n 1 is jumped to a position on the k 2 -th RU and having the X parameter value l 2 . At the third frequency hopping, according to the element (m 2 , n 2 ) in the k 2 -th row and the l 2 -th column in Table 9.2, the UE located on the k 2 -th RU and having the X parameter value l 2 is jumped to a position on the m 2 -th RU and having the X parameter value n 2 . And so on, frequency hopping based on the orthogonal Latin square shown in Table 9.2 is realized.

It can be seen from Table 9.1 and Table 9.17 that the initial scheduling state appears again in the resource sharing situation after the fifteenth frequency hopping. Thus, based on the frequency hopping criterion, a change cycle of the frequency hopping resource sharing situation is 15.

Table 10.1 shows an initial scheduling distribution in which there are 4 RUs, each of which carries at most 2 UEs. UE 0 and UE 1 are carried on RU 0 . UE 2 and UE 3 are carried on RU 1 . UE 4 and UE 5 are carried on RU 2 . UE 6 and UE 7 are carried on RU 3 . As shown in Table 10.1, the values of identification information parameters X used by the UEs such as UE 0 and UE 2 which are on the different RUs but in the same column are the same. Actually, some of the UEs may not exist. If some UEs do not exist actually, hopping operations of other actually existing UEs are unaffected.

Here, the number of RUs is N=4, and the maximum number of UEs carried by each RU is M=2. Frequency hopping is performed according to the orthogonal Latin square shown in Table 10.2.

Table 10.2 is a frequency hopping pattern formed by the second and third columns extracted from the orthogonal Latin square pattern shown in Table 9.1. A resource sharing situation after the first frequency hopping is obtained based on Table 10.2, as shown in Table 10.3.

Optionally, since only two UEs are carried on each resource unit, when the frequency hopping operation is performed, a resource that is not occupied by the UE can be regarded as a special resource, and is subjected to frequency hopping according to the same rule as other occupied resource units. Or, Table 10.3 can be sorted out as long as the two UEs can be distinguished. The sorted Table 10.3 can be as shown in Table 10.4.

In accordance with the above manner, the following resource sharing situations are obtained in turn.

As shown in Table 10.10 and Table 10.1, the resource sharing situation after the seventh frequency hopping is the same as the initial state before the frequency hopping. In this frequency hopping cycle, there is no repeated collision relationship of the UEs.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the Latin square based hopping rule includes the following.

Each of the UEs has a dedicated frequency hopping pattern, wherein N frequency hopping patterns of at least one group of UEs superimposed on each other can form an N-order Latin square.

Table 11.1 shows an initial scheduling distribution in which there are 4 RUs, each of which carries at most 4 UEs. UE 0 , UE 1 , UE 2 , and UE 3 are carried on RU 0 . UE 4 , UE 5 , UE 6 and UE 7 are carried on RU 1 . UE 8 , UE 9 , UE 10 and UE 11 are carried on RU 2 . UE 12 , UE 13 , UE 14 and UE 15 are carried on RU 3 . Thus, 4 RUs can carry at most 16 UEs. Actually, some of the UEs may not exist. If some UEs do not exist actually, hopping operations of other actually existing UEs are unaffected.

A frequency hopping scheme with a resource sharing change cycle of 4 is allocated to each of the 16 UEs. Each UE performs frequency hopping according to its frequency hopping pattern. The frequency hopping patterns of the 16 UEs are shown in FIG. 3 .

Based on the frequency hopping patterns shown in FIG. 3 , the resource sharing situations after the frequency hopping in turn can be inferred as shown from Table 11.2 to Table 11.5.

According to Table 11.1 to Table 11.5, it can be seen that the frequency hopping state cycle based on this criterion is 4. That is, after every 4 times of frequency hopping, the frequency hopping state is repeated. Based on this criterion, randomization of the collision relationships is realized to the greatest extent when the frequency hopping cycle is 4.

Table 12.1 shows an initial scheduling distribution in which there are 4 RUs, each of which carries at most 2 UEs. UE 0 and UE 1 are carried on RU 0 . UE 2 and UE 3 are carried on RU 1 . UE 4 and UE 5 are carried on RU 2 . UE 6 and UE 7 are carried on RU 3 , as shown in Table 12.1. Actually, some of the UEs may not exist. If some UEs do not exist actually, hopping operations of other actually existing UEs are unaffected.

Here, the number of RUs is N=4, and the maximum number of UEs carried by each RU is M=2. Each UE performs frequency hopping according to its frequency hopping pattern. The frequency hopping pattern of each UE is shown in FIG. 4 . In this embodiment, FIG. 4 shows currently required frequency hopping patterns formed by two columns extracted from the 16 UEs hopping patterns shown in FIG. 3 . Based on the frequency hopping pattern shown in FIG. 4 , the resource sharing situations after the frequency hopping in turn can be inferred as shown from Table 12.2 to Table 12.5.

According to Table 12.1 to Table 12.5, it can be seen that the frequency hopping state cycle based on this criterion is 4. That is, after every 4 times of frequency hopping, the frequency hopping state is repeated. Based on this criterion, randomization of the collision relationships is realized to the greatest extent when the frequency hopping cycle is 4.

Correspondingly, as shown in FIG. 5 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a transmission resource determining device, which includes the following units.
