Description

Random access method, network equipment and terminal equipment

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of network communication technologies, and in particular, to a random access method, a network device, and a terminal device.

Background

In the wireless communication process, the terminal device needs to obtain uplink synchronization with the network device through a random access process for subsequent communication. In the random access process, in a Random Access Response (RAR) receiving window (when the maximum length of the window is 10 ms), the received RA-RNTI (random access-radio network temporary identifier) corresponding to each RAR is unique. However, when the RAR receiving window needs to be extended to a length greater than 10ms, even several tens of milliseconds, the existing calculation method cannot ensure that the calculated RA-RNTI is unique within the extended receiving window, and therefore, multiple UEs may receive the same RAR, which may cause confusion in receiving of random access responses and affect wireless communication.

Disclosure of Invention

The embodiment of the application provides a random access method, network equipment and terminal equipment, and ensures that RA-RNTI is unique in an RAR receiving window, so that RAR can be correctly received and random access can be successfully carried out.

In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a random access method, including: the terminal equipment sends a random access lead code to the network equipment; determining a random access-radio network temporary identifier RA-RNTI according to at least one of an identifier of a first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing OFDM symbol for sending the random access lead code, an identifier of a frequency domain for sending the random access lead code, an identifier of an uplink carrier for sending the random access lead code and a first identifier, wherein the first identifier is determined according to at least one of a system frame number SFN for sending the random access lead code, an identifier of a time slot for sending the random access lead code and a first numerical value, and the first numerical value is a positive integer; and finally, receiving a random access response RAR sent by the network equipment according to the RA-RNTI. The PRACH opportunity indicates a time-frequency location where the random access preamble may be sent, where the time-frequency location refers to a location in a time domain and a location in a frequency domain. When the RA-RNTI is calculated, only the RA-RNTI is allocated to the PRACH occase which is configured periodically, and the RA-RNTI is not allocated to the time unit which is not configured with the PRACH occase, so that unnecessary resource waste can be reduced. In addition, the introduction of SFN can ensure that the calculated RA-RNTI is unique in the RAR receiving window when the RAR receiving window is more than 10 ms. Therefore, the RAR can be correctly received, and the random access can be successfully carried out.

In an alternative, RA-RNTI + 1+ s _ id +14 × t _ id +14 × 10 × 2^k×f_id+14×10×2^k×8×ul_carrier_id，t_id＝ceiling((SFN×10×2^k+slot_id)/x)mod(10×2^k) Wherein s _ id is an identifier of a first OFDM symbol, f _ id is an identifier of a frequency domain, ul _ carrier _ id is an identifier of an uplink carrier, t _ id is a first identifier, slot _ id is an identifier of a slot, x is a first numerical value, a ceiling function represents an upward rounding operation, mod represents a remainder operation, k is used for representing a subcarrier spacing parameter, and k is an integer greater than or equal to 0. By the calculation formula of RA-RNTI, only RA-RNTI is allocated for PRACH occase configured periodically, and RA-RNTI is not allocated for the time unit without PRACH occase configuration, thus unnecessary resource waste can be reduced. In addition, the introduction of SFN can ensure that the calculated RA-RNTI is unique in the RAR receiving window when the RAR receiving window is more than 10 ms.

In another alternative, RA-RNTI is 1+ s _ id +14 × t _ id +14 × 80 × f _ id +14 × 80 × 8 × ul _ carrier _ id, where t _ id is ceiling ((SFN _ id × 80+ slot _ id)/x) mod (80), where s _ id is an identifier of a first OFDM symbol, f _ id is an identifier of a frequency domain, ul _ carrier _ id is an identifier of an uplink carrier, t _ id is a first identifier, slot _ id is an identifier of a slot, x is a first numerical value, ceiling function represents rounding-up operation, and mod represents remainder operation. In the method, according to the condition that one system frame comprises 80 time slots, only RA-RNTI is allocated to the PRACH occase which is periodically configured through a calculation formula of the RA-RNTI, and the RA-RNTI is not allocated to the time unit which is not configured with the PRACH occase, so that the waste of the RA-RNTI caused by allocating the RA-RNTI to the time unit which is not configured with the PRACH occase can be avoided to the maximum extent. The introduction of SFN in addition may ensure that the calculated RA-RNTI is unique within a larger RAR reception window.

In another alternative, the first value is a value of a period of a physical random access channel opportunity, PRACH opportunity, for transmitting a random access preamble. The first numerical value is adopted to be set as a period value, RA-RNTI can be dynamically distributed according to the period length of PRACH occasion, and the flexibility of RA-RNTI calculation is increased.

In another optional manner, the period of the PRACH occase has a period periodicity greater than or equal to twice a difference between the maximum one-way propagation delay and the minimum one-way propagation delay, so as to ensure that the network device can distinguish the PRACH occase corresponding to the received random access preamble.

In another optional manner, the terminal device may receive the RAR sent by the network device according to the calculated RA-RNTI in the RAR reception window, and if the RA-RNTI used by the network device identifier RAR is the same as the RA-RNTI used by the terminal device receiving the RAR, the RAR may be received. Specifically, the network device schedules the RAR by using the PDCCH, wherein Downlink Control Information (DCI) transmitted on the PDCCH is scrambled by using an RA-RNTI, and the terminal device can solve a time-frequency position for receiving the RAR according to the RA-RNTI after receiving the DCI, so that the RAR can be correspondingly received.

In another alternative, the length of the RAR receive window is greater than twice the difference equal to the maximum one-way propagation delay minus the minimum one-way propagation delay. The terminal equipment is ensured to receive the RAR in the RAR receiving window.

In another alternative, the length of the RAR receiving window may be equal to twice the difference between the maximum one-way propagation delay minus the minimum one-way propagation delay plus a fixed time value, where the fixed time value may be determined according to indication information in RRC signaling sent by the network device. On one hand, the length of the RAR receiving window needs to consider propagation delay differences from different terminal devices to the network device, and on the other hand, the flexibility of the scheduling time (configured fixed time value) of the network device needs to be considered, so that it is ensured that the terminal device can receive the RAR in the RAR receiving window.

In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a random access method, including: the terminal equipment sends a random access lead code to the network equipment; determining a random access-wireless network temporary identifier RA-RNTI according to at least one of an identifier of a subframe for sending the random access preamble, an identifier of a frequency domain for sending the random access preamble, an identifier of an uplink carrier for sending the random access preamble, a system frame number SFN for sending the random access preamble and a value of a period of a physical random access channel opportunity PRACH opportunity for sending the random access preamble; and finally, receiving a random access response RAR sent by the network equipment according to the RA-RNTI. When the RA-RNTI is calculated, the PRACH occasions which are periodically configured are changed into the PRACH occasions which are continuous in the time domain, so that the RA-RNTI can be continuously distributed, and the RA-RNTI is not distributed in the unit time without configuring the PRACH occasions, and the calculated RA-RNTI is only in the RAR receiving window when the RAR receiving window is more than 10 ms. Therefore, the RAR can be correctly received, and the random access can be successfully carried out.

By the calculation formula of the RA-RNTI, the smallest time unit to be considered is assumed to be a subframe, namely, most PRACH Ocvasion can be configured in one subframe, so that the RA-RNTI cannot be distributed to the time unit with finer granularity, and the waste of the RA-RNTI is avoided. And simultaneously, SFN is introduced to distinguish subframes in different SFN, so that the calculated RA-RNTI is unique in the RAR receiving window when the RAR receiving window is more than 10 ms. In addition, in the ceiling (periodicity/y) of the present invention, the meaning of y varies with the unit of periodicity, and assuming that the unit of periodicity is millisecond, the unit of y is also millisecond; on the other hand, if the unit of periodicity is a subframe, the unit of y is also the sameIs a subframe, in this case, since the system frame is 10 subframes, the value of y may be 10. In general, the term periodicity/y means that the length of one period refers to several system frames, and can also be understood as the length of one period spans several system frames, and all expression ways embodying this idea fall within the scope of the present invention.

According to the condition that one system frame comprises 80 time slots, the minimum time unit to be considered is assumed to be a subframe through a calculation formula of RA-RNTI, namely, at most one PRACH Ocvasion can be configured in one subframe, so that the RA-RNTI cannot be distributed to the time unit with finer granularity, and the waste of the RA-RNTI is avoided. And simultaneously, SFN is introduced to distinguish subframes in different SFN, so that the calculated RA-RNTI is unique in the RAR receiving window when the RAR receiving window is more than 10 ms.

When the RA-RNTI is calculated, only the RA-RNTI is allocated to the PRACH occase which is configured periodically, and the RA-RNTI is not allocated to the time unit which is not configured with the PRACH occase, so that unnecessary resource waste can be reduced. In addition, the introduction of SFN can ensure that the calculated RA-RNTI is unique in the RAR receiving window when the RAR receiving window is more than 10 ms.

In an alternative, RA-RNTI + 1+ s _ id +14 × t _ id +14 × 10 × 2^k×f_id+14×10×2^k×8×ul_carrier_id，t_id＝ceiling((SFN×10×2^k+slot_id)/x)mod(10×2^k) Wherein s _ id is the first oneThe method comprises the steps that the identification of an OFDM symbol, f _ id is the identification of a frequency domain, ul _ carrier _ id is the identification of an uplink carrier, t _ id is a first identification, slot _ id is the identification of a time slot, x is a first numerical value, a ceiling function represents an upward rounding operation, mod represents a remainder operation, k is used for representing a subcarrier spacing parameter, and k is an integer greater than or equal to 0. By the calculation formula of RA-RNTI, only RA-RNTI is allocated for PRACH occase configured periodically, and RA-RNTI is not allocated for the time unit without PRACH occase configuration, thus unnecessary resource waste can be reduced. In addition, the introduction of SFN can ensure that the calculated RA-RNTI is unique in the RAR receiving window when the RAR receiving window is more than 10 ms.

In another alternative, RA-RNTI is 1+ s _ id +14 × t _ id +14 × 80 × f _ id +14 × 80 × 8 × ul _ carrier _ id, where t _ id is ceiling ((SFN _ id × 80+ slot _ id)/x) mod (80), where s _ id is an identifier of a first OFDM symbol, f _ id is an identifier of a frequency domain, ul _ carrier _ id is an identifier of an uplink carrier, t _ id is a first identifier, slot _ id is an identifier of a slot, x is a first numerical value, ceiling function represents rounding-up operation, and mod represents remainder operation. In the method, according to the condition that one system frame comprises 80 time slots, only RA-RNTI is allocated to the PRACH occase which is periodically configured through a calculation formula of the RA-RNTI, and the RA-RNTI is not allocated to the time unit which is not configured with the PRACH occase, so that the waste of the RA-RNTI caused by allocating the RA-RNTI to the time unit which is not configured with the PRACH occase can be avoided to the maximum extent.

Detailed Description

The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present application. The communication system 100 may include a network device 110 and terminal devices 101 to 106. It should be understood that more or fewer network devices or terminal devices may be included in the communication system 100. The network device or the terminal device may be hardware, or may be functionally divided software, or a combination of the two. In addition, the terminal devices 104 to 106 may also form a communication system, for example, the terminal device 105 may send downlink data to the terminal device 104 or the terminal device 106. The network device and the terminal device can communicate through other devices or network elements. The network device 110 may transmit downlink data to the terminal devices 101 to 106, or may receive uplink data transmitted by the terminal devices 101 to 106. Of course, terminal devices 101 to 106 may transmit uplink data to network device 110, or may receive downlink data transmitted by network device 110. End devices 101-106 may be User Equipments (UEs), cellular phones, smart phones, laptops, handheld communication devices, handheld computing devices, satellite radios, global positioning systems, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), and/or any other suitable device for communicating over wireless communication system 100, among others. The network device 110 may be a device for communicating with a terminal device, and may be an access point, a relay node, a Base Transceiver Station (BTS), a Node B (NB), an evolved node B (eNB), or a 5G base station (gNB), which refers to a device in an access network that communicates with the terminal device through one or more sectors on an air interface.

The communication system 100 may employ a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), a device-to-device (D2D) network, a machine-to-machine (M2M) network, an internet of things (IoT), or other networks. The communication system 100 may be applied to a New Radio (NR) system of the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G), and may also be applied to a non-terrestrial communication network, for example, a communication network in which a base station is on a satellite or other flight equipment, or a communication network in which a satellite, flight equipment, or the like is used as a relay. The method can also be applied to a 5G architecture-based scene for communication by using an unlicensed spectrum.

The embodiment of the application relates to a random access process, which is introduced as follows:

the terminal device first sends a Random Access Preamble (RAP) to the network device, and after the terminal device sends the RAP, an RA-RNTI may be calculated. After receiving the random access preamble, the network device determines that the terminal device requests random access, may estimate a transmission delay between the terminal device and the network device, may also calculate an RA-RNTI, and then sends a Random Access Response (RAR) to the terminal device, and identifies the RAR using the RA-RNTI. The terminal device monitors a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in the RAR receiving window, decodes the DCI using the calculated RA-RNTI, and then receives the corresponding RAR. The RAR can be correctly received if the RA-RNTI used by the network device identity RAR is the same as the RA-RNTI used by the terminal device to receive the RAR. If the RAR cannot be correctly received, it means that the RAR sent by the network device is not received in the RAR receiving window, and it is determined that the random access procedure fails.

In the random access procedure, the value of RA-RNTI is determined by the time-frequency position of the physical random access channel opportunity (PRACH) of the random access preamble. The time-frequency position refers to a position of the random access preamble code in a time domain and a position of the random access preamble code in a frequency domain. After the terminal equipment sends the random access lead code, an RA-RNTI can be calculated according to information such as the time-frequency position of the sent random access lead code, and then the corresponding RAR is received according to the RA-RNTI in the RAR time window. The RA-RNTI corresponds to the PRACH occase one by one, and the terminal equipment determines the random access preamble sent by which PRACH occase, so that one RA-RNTI can be calculated. After the network device receives the random access preamble, the same RA-RNTI can be calculated according to the time-frequency position of the PRACH occasion, and the RAR is identified by the RA-RNTI.

Wherein, the calculation formula of RA-RNTI is as follows: RA-RNTI ≦ 1+ s _ id +14 × t _ id +14 × 80 × f _ id +14 × 80 × 8 × ul _ carrier _ id, where s _ id indicates an identifier (0 ≦ s _ id <14) of a first Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of the random access preamble, t _ id is an identifier (0 ≦ t _ id <80) of a slot in which the random access preamble is transmitted, f _ id is an identifier (0 ≦ f _ id <8) of a frequency domain in which the random access preamble is transmitted, and ul _ carrier _ id transmits an identifier (0 or 1) of an uplink carrier of the random access preamble.

The RA-RNTI calculated by the calculation formula can ensure that the RA-RNTI corresponding to each RAR received in one RAR receiving window (the maximum length is 10ms) is unique. That is, in a RAR reception window of 10ms, the RAR received in each unit time corresponds to a unique RA-RNTI. If there are 100 unit times within the RAR reception window of 10ms, there are 100 RA-RNTIs. If the RAR receive window extends to 20ms in length, there are 200 units of time, in which case 100 RA-RNTIs cannot guarantee a unique RA-RNTI per unit of time. In some communication scenarios, such as unlicensed spectrum communication scenarios or non-terrestrial network (NTN) scenarios, the RAR receive window needs to be extended to a length greater than 10ms, even tens of milliseconds. The existing calculation method cannot ensure that the calculated RA-RNTI is unique in the expanded receiving window, so that the multiple UEs may receive the same RAR, the receiving of random access response is disordered, and wireless communication is affected. In order to solve the above technical problem, embodiments of the present application provide the following solutions.

As shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a radio access method according to an embodiment of the present application. The steps in the implementation of the present application include at least:

S201, a terminal device sends a random access lead code to a network device, and the network device receives the random access lead code sent by the terminal device.

S202, the terminal equipment determines a random access-radio network temporary identifier RA-RNTI according to at least one of an identifier of a first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing OFDM symbol for sending the random access preamble, an identifier of a frequency domain for sending the random access preamble, an identifier of an uplink carrier for sending the random access preamble and a first identifier, wherein the first identifier is determined according to at least one of a System Frame Number (SFN) for sending the random access preamble, an identifier of a time slot for sending the random access preamble and a first numerical value, and the first numerical value is a positive integer. The method comprises the following several optional modes:

in an alternative, RA-RNTI + 1+ s _ id +14×t_id+14×10×2^k×f_id+14×10×2^k×8×ul_carrier_id，t_id＝ceiling((SFN×10×2^k+slot_id)/x)mod(10×2^k) Wherein the s _ id is the identifier of the first OFDM symbol, and s _ id is more than or equal to 0<14. The f _ id is the identifier of the frequency domain, and f _ id is more than or equal to 0<8. The ul _ carrier _ id is an identifier of the uplink carrier, and the ul _ carrier _ id is 0 or 1. The t _ id is the first identifier, and t _ id is more than or equal to 0<10×2^k，The slot _ id is the identifier of the slot, and is not less than 0 and not more than slot _ id <80. The x is the first value, the first value may be a period of a physical random access channel opportunity PRACH opportunity that sends a random access preamble, or may be a positive integer assigned, and a unit of the first value is a time slot. The ceiling function represents an rounding-up operation, mod represents a remainder operation, k is used for representing a sub-carrier space (SCS), and k is an integer greater than or equal to 0. When k is 0, SCS is 15 × 2⁰15kHz, when k is 1, SCS 15 × 2¹30kHz, and so on.

With the above calculation formula, when the system frame includes 80 slots, that is, when k is 3, RA-RNTI is 1+ s _ id +14 × t _ id +14 × 10 × 8 × f _ id +14 × 80 × 8 × ul _ carrier _ id, and t _ id is ceiling ((SFN × 80+ slot _ id)/x) mod (80). Further, the first value x may be a period of a praccocsion period for transmitting a random access preamble, and when the value allocation of the period of the PRACH is shortest, that is, when x is 2, RA-RNTI is 1+ s _ id +14 × t _ id +14 × 10 × 8 × f _ id +14 × 80 × 8 × ul _ carrier _ id, and t _ id is ceiling ((x 80+ slot _ id)/2) mod (80). Note that when x is 1, t _ id is ceiling (SFN × 80+ slot _ id) mod (80) is slot _ id, and the above calculation formula is substituted to obtain: RA-RNTI + 1+ s _ id +14 × slot _ id +14 × 10 × 8 × f _ id +14 × 80 × 8 × ul _ carrier _ id is the same as the calculation formula of RA-RNTI given earlier when the length of the RAR reception window is not greater than 10 ms. Therefore, the RA-RNTI calculated by the embodiment of the present application can satisfy both the case that the length of the RAR reception window is not greater than 10ms and the case that the length of the RAR reception window is greater than 10 ms.

The embodiment of the present application also provides several other situations, including:

when k is 2, RA-RNTI is 1+ s _ id +14 × t _ id +14 × 10 × 4 × f _ id +14 × 40 × 8 × ul _ carrier _ id, and t _ id is ceiling ((SFN × 40+ slot _ id)/x) mod (40).

When k is 1, RA-RNTI is 1+ s _ id +14 × t _ id +14 × 20 × f _ id +14 × 20 × 8 × ul _ carrier _ id, and t _ id is ceiling ((SFN × 20+ slot _ id)/x) mod (20).

When k is 0, RA-RNTI is 1+ s _ id +14 × t _ id +14 × 10 × f _ id +14 × 10 × 8 × ul _ carrier _ id, and t _ id is ceiling ((SFN × 10+ slot _ id)/x) mod (10).

In another alternative, the embodiments of the present application also provide several calculation formulas of RA-RNTI independent of k, including at least:

RA-RNTI + 1+ s _ id +14 × t _ id +14 × 80 × f _ id +14 × 80 × 8 × ul _ carrier _ id, where t _ id is ceiling ((SFN _ id × 80+ slot _ id)/x) mod (80), where s _ id is the identity of the first OFDM symbol and 0 ≦ s _ id < 14. The f _ id is the identification of the frequency domain, and f _ id is more than or equal to 0 and less than 8. Ul _ carrier _ id is the identifier (0 or 1) of the uplink carrier, t _ id is the first identifier, slot _ id is the identifier of the slot, and slot _ id is not less than 0 and is less than 80. The x is the first numerical value, the ceiling function represents an upward rounding operation, and the mod represents a complementation operation.

RA-RNTI ═ 1+ s _ id +14 × t _ id +14 × 10 × 4 × f _ id +14 × 40 × 8 × ul _ carrier _ id, where t _ id ═ ceiling ((SFN × 40+ slot _ id)/x) mod (40).

RA-RNTI ═ 1+ s _ id +14 × t _ id +14 × 20 × f _ id +14 × 20 × 8 × ul _ carrier _ id, where t _ id ═ ceiling ((SFN × 20+ slot _ id)/x) mod (20).

RA-RNTI ═ 1+ s _ id +14 × t _ id +14 × 10 × f _ id +14 × 10 × 8 × ul _ carrier _ id, where t _ id ═ ceiling ((SFN × 10+ slot _ id)/x) mod (10).

Optionally, the first value may be a period of a physical random access channel opportunity PRACH opportunity that transmits the random access preamble. The period of the PRACH occase is greater than or equal to twice the difference between the maximum one-way propagation delay and the minimum one-way propagation delay, so that the network device can distinguish the PRACH occase corresponding to the received random access preamble. Specifically, the network device may broadcast the maximum one-way propagation delay and the minimum one-way propagation delay, or may send indication information to the terminal device through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, where the indication information is used to notify the maximum one-way propagation delay and the minimum one-way propagation delay between the terminal device and the network device. The terminal device may determine the period of the PRACH occasting according to the maximum one-way propagation delay and the minimum one-way propagation delay.

For example, as shown in fig. 3, in an NTN scenario, because the distance difference between a base station and different UEs is large, propagation delays from different UEs to the base station may be very different in the same cell, and therefore, all UEs at different positions within the signal coverage range of the same base station need to be considered in both the time-frequency position of the PRACH interference of the random access preamble and the RAR receiving window. In practical application, only the UE farthest from the base station and the UE closest to the base station may be considered, the maximum time delay of the one-way propagation may be determined according to the distance between the farthest UE and the base station, and the minimum time delay of the one-way propagation may be determined according to the distance between the closest UE and the base station. Other UEs are included in this range.

As shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic configuration diagram of a PRACH occasion period provided in an embodiment of the present application. If the period of PRACH opportunity is not less than (maximum one-way propagation delay-minimum one-way propagation delay) × 2 and the period of PRACH opportunity is greater than or equal to the length of the receiving window of the base station receiving the random access preamble, the receiving window 1 and the receiving window 2 of the base station receiving the random access preamble may be staggered, and if the period of prachhoccasion is less than (maximum one-way propagation delay-minimum one-way propagation delay) × 2, the starting position of the receiving window 2 needs to be moved forward, resulting in an overlapping region between the receiving window 1 and the receiving window 2. If the base station receives the random access preamble transmitted by the terminal device in the overlapping area, it cannot determine which PRACH occasion the random access preamble is transmitted from. Therefore, only in the case where the periodicity is not less than (maximum one-way propagation delay — minimum one-way propagation delay) × 2 and the value of the period of the PRACH occasion is equal to or greater than the length of the reception window in which the base station receives the random access preamble, it can be ensured that only one random access preamble is received in each random access preamble reception window.

After receiving a random access preamble, a network device may determine a random access-radio network temporary identifier RA-RNTI according to at least one of an identifier of a first OFDM symbol of the random access preamble sent by the terminal device, an identifier of a frequency domain of the random access preamble sent by the terminal device, an identifier of an uplink carrier of the random access preamble sent by the terminal device, and a first identifier, where the first identifier is determined according to at least one of a system frame number SFN of the random access preamble sent by the terminal device, an identifier of a time slot of the random access preamble sent by the terminal device, and a first value, and the first value is a positive integer. The specific method for the network device to calculate the RA-RNTI is the same as the method for the terminal device to calculate the RA-RNTI, and is not described herein again. The network equipment can identify the RAR through the calculated RA-RNTI and then send the RAR identified by the RA-RNTI to the terminal equipment. Specifically, the RAR is identified by the RA-RNTI, which may be that the network device schedules the RAR by using the PDCCH, wherein DCI transmitted on the PDCCH is scrambled by using the RA-RNTI.

S203, the network equipment sends a random access response RAR to the terminal equipment, and the terminal equipment receives the random access response RAR sent by the network equipment according to the RA-RNTI.

In a specific implementation, the terminal device may receive the RAR sent by the network device according to the calculated RA-RNTI in the RAR receiving window, and if the RA-RNTI used by the network device identifier RAR is the same as the RA-RNTI used by the terminal device for receiving the RAR, the RAR may be received. Specifically, the network device schedules the RAR by using the PDCCH, wherein DCI transmitted on the PDCCH is scrambled by using an RA-RNTI, and the terminal device can solve the time-frequency position of receiving the RAR according to the RA-RNTI after receiving the DCI, so that the RAR can be correspondingly received. The length of the RAR receiving window is greater than or equal to twice the difference between the maximum one-way propagation delay and the minimum one-way propagation delay, or greater than twice the difference between the maximum one-way propagation delay and the minimum one-way propagation delay plus a fixed time value, where the fixed time value may be determined according to indication information in an RRC signaling sent by the network device. A first time difference between the time when the UE sends the random access preamble and the time when the UE receives the RAR may be greater than or equal to one-way propagation delay × 2, the fixed time value may be a time difference between the time when the base station receives the random access preamble and the time when the base station sends the RAR, and the fixed time value is greater than or equal to 0. For different UEs in a cell, the maximum difference of the first time difference between different UEs is twice the difference of the maximum one-way propagation delay minus the minimum one-way propagation delay due to the difference of the one-way propagation delay from the base station. Taking twice the minimum one-way propagation delay of the UE closest to the base station as a compensation value, the time of the RAR receiving window of the UE should be greater than or equal to twice the difference between the maximum one-way propagation delay minus the minimum one-way propagation delay plus a fixed time value. The fixed time value is added to twice the minimum one-way propagation delay of the UE closest to the base station as a compensation value, and the time of the RAR receiving window of the UE should be greater than or equal to twice the difference between the maximum one-way propagation delay and the minimum one-way propagation delay. If the length of the RAR receiving window is less than twice the difference between the maximum one-way propagation delay and the minimum one-way propagation delay, the RAR receiving window is already closed in the RAR propagation process, so that the RAR cannot be received.

In the embodiment of the application, when the RA-RNTI is calculated, only the RA-RNTI is allocated to the PRACH occase which is periodically configured, and the RA-RNTI is not allocated to the time unit which is not configured with the PRACH occase, so that unnecessary resource waste can be reduced. In addition, due to the introduction of the SFN, when the RAR receiving window is larger than 10ms, the calculated RA-RNTI is unique in the RAR receiving window, and the number of the RA-RNTIs is not increased, so that RAR can be correctly received, and random access can be successfully carried out.

As shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating another radio access method according to an embodiment of the present application. The steps in the implementation of the present application include at least:

s501, the terminal device sends a random access lead code to the network device, and the network device receives the random access lead code sent by the terminal device.

S502, the terminal equipment determines a random access-radio network temporary identifier RA-RNTI according to at least one of the identifier of the subframe for sending the random access lead code, the identifier of the frequency domain for sending the random access lead code, the identifier of the uplink carrier for sending the random access lead code, the system frame number SFN for sending the random access lead code and the value of the period of the physical random access channel opportunity PRACHoccasion for sending the random access lead code. The method comprises the following several optional modes:

In an alternative, RA-RNTI + 1+ t _ id +10 xf _ id +10 × 2^kul_carrier_id+10×2^kX 2 x (SFN _ conditional), where t _ id is the identifier of the subframe, and t _ id is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to t _ id<10. The f _ id is the identifier of the frequency domain, and f _ id is more than or equal to 0<8. The ul _ carrier _ id is an identifier of the uplink carrier, and is equal to 0 or 1. The period is a value of the period and has a unit of subframe (subframe). The ceiling function represents an rounding-up operation, mod represents a remainder operation, k is used for representing a subcarrier spacing parameter, k is an integer greater than or equal to 0, y is a duration of a system frame, and a unit is ms, for example, y may be 10. When k is 0, SCS is 15 × 2⁰15kHz, when k is 1, SCS 15 × 2¹30kHz, and so on.

With the above calculation formula, when the system frame includes 80 slots, that is, when k is 3, RA-RNTI is 1+ t _ id +10 × f _ id +10 × 8 × ul _ carrier _ id +80 × 2 × (SFN scaling/y)). The embodiment of the present application also provides several other situations, including:

when k is 2, RA-RNTI is 1+ t _ id +10 × f _ id +10 × 4 × ul _ carrier _ id +40 × 2 × (SFNmod decorating (periodicity/y)).

When k is 1, RA-RNTI is 1+ t _ id +10 × f _ id +10 × 2 × ul _ carrier _ id +20 × 2 × (SFNmod decorating (periodicity/y)).

When k is 0, RA-RNTI is 1+ t _ id +10 × f _ id +10 × ul _ carrier _ id +10 × 2 × (SFN modifying/y)).

RA-RNTI ═ 1+ t _ id +10 xf _ id +80ul _ carrier _ id +80 × 2 × (SFN modernization/y)), where t _ id is the identity of the subframe, and t _ id is greater than or equal to 0 and less than 10. The f _ id is the identification of the frequency domain, and f _ id is more than or equal to 0 and less than 8. Ul _ carrier _ id is the identification of the uplink carrier, ul _ carrier _ id is equal to 0 or 1, and period is the value of the period. The ceiling function represents an rounding-up operation, mod represents a remainder operation, y is a duration of a system frame and is in ms, for example, y may be 10.

RA-RNTI＝1+t_id+10×f_id+10×4×ul_carrier_id+40×2×(SFN mod ceiling(periodicity/y))。

RA-RNTI＝1+t_id+10×f_id+10×2×ul_carrier_id+20×2×(SFN mod ceiling(periodicity/y))。

RA-RNTI＝1+t_id+10×f_id+10×ul_carrier_id+10×2×(SFN mod ceiling(periodicity/y))。

It should be noted that, in some scenarios (e.g., NTN scenarios), the period of the PRACH occase cannot be configured to a symbol or even a time slot with a short time granularity in the time domain, and most of all, only one prachhoccasion can be configured on one subframe, so that parameters representing the symbol and the time slot need not be embodied when calculating the RA-RNTI, and only the subframe granularity needs to be embodied. In the embodiment of the application, RA-RNTI is calculated on the granularity of the sub-frames.

The period of the PRACH occase is greater than or equal to twice the difference between the maximum one-way propagation delay and the minimum one-way propagation delay, so that the network device can distinguish the PRACH occase corresponding to the received random access preamble. Specifically, the network device may broadcast the maximum one-way propagation delay and the minimum one-way propagation delay, and may also send the indication information to the terminal device through the RRC signaling, where the indication information is used to notify the maximum one-way propagation delay and the minimum one-way propagation delay between the terminal device and the network device. The terminal device may determine the period of the PRACH occasting according to the maximum one-way propagation delay and the minimum one-way propagation delay.

For example, as shown in fig. 3, in an NTN scenario, because the distance difference between a base station and different UEs is large, propagation delays from different UEs to the base station may be very different in the same cell, and therefore, all UEs in different positions within a signal coverage range of the same base station need to be considered in both a time-frequency position of PRACH interference of a random access preamble and a RAR reception window. In practical application, only the UE farthest from the base station and the UE closest to the base station may be considered, the maximum time delay of the one-way propagation may be determined according to the distance between the farthest UE and the base station, and the minimum time delay of the one-way propagation may be determined according to the distance between the closest UE and the base station. Other UEs are included in this range.

As shown in fig. 4, if the period of the PRACH ocperiphery is not less than (maximum one-way propagation delay-minimum one-way propagation delay) × 2, and the period of the PRACH ocperiphery is greater than or equal to the length of the receiving window of the base station for receiving the random access preamble, the receiving window 1 and the receiving window 2 of the PRACH ocperiphery of the base station for receiving the random access preamble may be staggered, and if the period of the PRACH ocperiphery is less than (maximum one-way propagation delay-minimum one-way propagation delay) × 2, the starting position of the receiving window 2 needs to be moved forward, resulting in an overlapping region between the receiving window 1 and the receiving window 2. If the base station receives the random access preamble transmitted by the terminal device in the overlapping area, it cannot determine which PRACH occasion the random access preamble is transmitted from. Therefore, only in the case where the periodicity is not less than (maximum one-way propagation delay — minimum one-way propagation delay) × 2 and the value of the period of the PRACH occasion is equal to or greater than the length of the reception window in which the base station receives the random access preamble, it can be ensured that only one random access preamble is received in each random access preamble reception window.

After receiving the random access preamble, the network device may determine the random access-radio network temporary identifier RA-RNTI according to at least one of an identifier of a subframe in which the terminal device transmits the random access preamble, an identifier of a frequency domain in which the terminal device transmits the random access preamble, an identifier of an uplink carrier in which the terminal device transmits the random access preamble, a system frame number SFN in which the terminal device transmits the random access preamble, and a value of a period of a physical random access channel opportunity prachhoccasion in which the terminal device transmits the random access preamble. The specific method for the network device to calculate the RA-RNTI is the same as the method for the terminal device to calculate the RA-RNTI, and is not described herein again. The network equipment can identify the RAR through the calculated RA-RNTI and then send the RAR identified by the RA-RNTI to the terminal equipment. Specifically, the RAR is identified by the RA-RNTI, which may be that the network device schedules the RAR by using the PDCCH, wherein DCI transmitted on the PDCCH is scrambled by using the RA-RNTI.

S503, the network equipment sends a random access response RAR to the terminal equipment, and the terminal equipment receives the random access response RAR sent by the network equipment according to the RA-RNTI.

In the embodiment of the application, through a calculation formula of the RA-RNTI, the smallest time unit to be considered is assumed to be a subframe, that is, at most one PRACH Ocvasion is possible to be configured in one subframe, so that the RA-RNTI cannot be allocated to a time unit with finer granularity, and the waste of the RA-RNTI is avoided. And simultaneously, SFN is introduced to distinguish subframes in different SFN, so that the calculated RA-RNTI is unique in the RAR receiving window when the RAR receiving window is more than 10 ms. Therefore, the RAR can be correctly received, and the random access can be successfully carried out.
