Background technology
(LTE is the abbreviation of Long Term Evolution at 3GPP Long Term Evolution LTE-Advanced, it is the evolution system of 3-G (Generation Three mobile communication system), the LTE-Advanced system is the upgrading of LTE system, being abbreviated as LTE-A) in the system, the service quality and the Extended Cell that will adopt the method for relaying (Relay) cooperation transmission to improve Cell Edge User cover.Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of LTE-A system network architecture.In relay system, the subscriber equipment (UE) of directly being served by base station (eNB) is called grand UE (Macro UE), and (Relay Node, RN) directly the UE of service is called relaying UE (Relay UE) by via node.ENB links core net (CN) by wireline interface; RN links eNB by wave point; UE links RN or eNB by wave point.
In mobile communication system, carry out to same base station or via node must satisfying uplink synchronous between the subscriber equipment of transmitting uplink data, its objective is that the upward signal that makes from the different user devices of different distance can arrive base station/via node synchronously.Uplink synchronous can reach following beneficial effect: signal disturbs between adjacent time-slots as reducing, and improves systematic function, simplifies the design of base station/via node etc.Therefore, be in the asynchronous regime subscriber equipment before sending upstream data, needs use random access procedure is set up the uplink synchronous with network, could carry out the signal transmission then under the method for synchronization.
The basic procedure of subscriber equipment random access scheme comprises the steps: as shown in Figure 2 in the prior art
Step 201: at a plurality of alternative random access leader sequences (Random Access Preamble, be designated hereinafter simply as Preamble) in, subscriber equipment is selected a Preamble at random and is upward sent this Preamble to the base station in Random Access Channel (Random Access Channel is designated hereinafter simply as RACH).
Step 202: when subscriber equipment sends Preamble, the base station can be detected the RACH channel, if monitor Preamble, then calculate the actual time of arrival of this Preamble and the deviation of Expected Arrival Time, then with it as timing adjustment amount (Timing Alignment is hereinafter to be referred as TA).
Step 203: the base station is placed on described TA in the accidental access response (Random Access Response) and sends to subscriber equipment.Described accidental access response also further comprises: the identification information of the Preamble that is received, as numbering, transmitting time etc.; The information of the channel resource that distributes for follow-up transmitting uplink data, when comprising resource-position frequently, Modulation and Coding Scheme (Modulation and Coding Scheme, MCS) etc.; The temporary mark (Temp-RNTI) that the base station is distributed for the user.
Step 204: subscriber equipment is after receiving accidental access response, whether identification information and the identification information of self of judging Preamble mate, if, according to TA information wherein, adjust the transmission Timing Advance of upward signal, just adjust the transmitting time of upstream message, can set up uplink synchronous with network.
Step 205: subscriber equipment sends upstream data to the base station, and its used ascending resource is that the base station is the resource of user equipment allocation in step 203.At least should comprise in the upstream data that subscriber equipment sends: the identification information of subscriber equipment, as international mobile subscriber identification marking (International Mobile Subscriber Identity, IMSI), the temporarily moved subscriber identification marking (Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identify, TMSI) or C-RNTI;
Step 206: whether the identification information of the subscriber equipment that base station detection subscriber equipment sends in step 3 is legal, and solves message with the testing result notifying user equipment by competition.
After the Overall Steps of having finished above-mentioned random access procedure, transmitting uplink data just can have been carried out in subscriber equipment and base station.
The deployment of RN for convenience, the layoutprocedure of RN should be avoided artificial participation as far as possible.The RN course of work of current 3GPP imagination comprises the steps: as shown in Figure 3
Step 301:RN carries out random access procedure and inserts eNB after powering on.RN is after access is finished at random, by sending the node type notice eNB of Radio Resource control (RRC) message with self.
Step 302:eNB is configured it after identifying current access node and being RN.
Step 303: after configuration was finished, RN started working.
RN is as network side node, and bearing is the task of numerous user's services.If eNB can early identify RN, might be preferably its Resources allocation, quicken its layoutprocedure.Thereby shorten RN from power on to the time that begins to the UE service, promote user experience.But existing RN recognition technology, eNB need could obtain the node type of RN after RN finishes access at random.Speed is slower.
