Greater amount of communication is machinery compartment(Small bandwidth system)Communication service.
Current mobile communications network is for interpersonal communication scheme, such as:Determination of network capacity etc..Such as
The characteristics of fruit is desirable with mobile communications network to support small bandwidth system communication just to need to communicate according to small bandwidth system is to moving
The mechanism of dynamic communication system optimizes, so as to be communicated on traditional person to person not by or by smaller situation about influenceing
Under, small bandwidth system communication is better achieved.
MTC communication some characteristics that may be present being currently recognized that have:MTC terminal has Hypomobility;MTC terminal with
The time that network side carries out data transmission is controllable, i.e., MTC terminal can only be accessed within the period that network is specified;
MTC terminal is not high to requirement of real-time to data transfer with the data transfer that network side is carried out, i.e.,:With time tolerance;MTC

MTC terminal can be managed in units of group;... the MTC terminal of a reality can have above-mentioned one or more
Characteristic.
At present, PBCH(Physical Broadcast Channel, Physical Broadcast Channel)It is for carrying MIB
(Master Information Block, host system message block), transmit for the parameter that is initially accessed, in order to ensure PBCH
Receptivity, the information bit carried in PBCH is fewer, only 24 bits, joins comprising system necessary to access system
Number, including:The PHICH of downlink bandwidth information, cell(Physical Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel, physics mix
Close automatic repeat request instruction channel)And SFN(System Frame Number, System Frame Number).
It is mainly that passage time diversity gain ensures PBCH receptivity in LTE system;In the transmission of reality, one
Individual BCH transmission blocks(Carry downlink bandwidth information, the PHICH and SFN of cell)By adding CRC(Cyclic Redundancy
Code, cyclic redundancy)Verify, after convolutional encoding and rate-matched, can be mapped in four radio frames and transmit, it is specific such as Fig. 1
It is shown:
Step 100:CRC is added in BCH transmission blocks waiting for transmission.
For example, in the information a of 24 bits0,a1,a2,a3,...,aA-1(A=24) add 16 bit CRC and obtain length as 40
The bit stream c of bit0,c1,c2,c3,...,cK-1(k=40)。
Step 110:Convolutional encoding.
By the bit stream c that length is 40 bits0,c1,c2,c3,...,cK-1(k=40), by the ratio of convolutional encoding output 120
Special bit stream
Step 120:Rate-matched.
Sequence after will be convolutionally encoded is after rate-matched, output bit flow e0,e1,e2,e3,...,eE-1, normal
Advise CP(Cyclic Prefix, cyclic prefix)Under, bitstream length E is 1920 bits;The information flow length E in the case where extending CP
For 1728 bits.Because PBCH channels are mapped in 4 radio frames, 480 bits are carried under conventional CP per frame so converting into, extension
432 bits are carried under CP per frame.
Step 130:Scrambling.
By the bit stream e Jing Guo rate-matched0,e1,e2,e3,...,eE-1Before modulation using the exclusive sequence of a cell
Row are scrambled.Scramble the Gold sequence used, each is wireless frame number nfMeet nfMod4=0 radio frames(That is PBCH
Transmission starting radio frames)Corresponding bit stream scramble sequence initial value beSpecifically scrambling formula is:
Conventional CP, E=1920;Extend CP, E=1728)
Step 140:QPSK(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying, QPSK)Modulation.
By the bit stream after scramblingTurn into information symbol by QPSK modulation
Step 150:Layer mapping and precoding.
It is, layer related to multiple antennas that symbol sebolic addressing after modulation is carried out into layer mapping and pre-encode operation, this process
Mapping is that the data symbol modulated is mapped on layer, and layer is the independent channel that can be distinguished in space, is had with channel circumstance
Close;Then each layer of data carry out pre-encode operation, have done a matrix change equivalent in transmitting terminal, have made channel quadrature
Change, obtain the channel gain of maximum.After layer mapping and precoding, symbolic vector
PBCH is only capable of being transmitted the multi-antenna transmission of diversity, i.e., in two antenna ports, precoding SFBC
(Space Frequency Block Coding, space-frequency block codes), during four antenna ports, precoding uses SFBC/FSTD(Null tone
Block code/Frequency Switched Transmit Diversity, frequency error factor send diversity).Therefore, user is receiving
End is only it is to be understood that the mode of precoding, it is possible to knows that antenna port configures.
Step 160:Resource impact.
Resource impact is the mapping for realizing data to actual physical resources, above-mentioned scrambled, modulation, precoding and layer
The symbol sebolic addressing of the PBCH channels of mapping is mapped to 4 continuous radio frames(Respectively radio frames 4K, 4K+1,4K+2,4K+3)
On, under conventional CP, a radio frames need to map 240 bit lengths(That is Msymb=240)Symbol sebolic addressing, in each radio frames
The 0th subframe the 2nd slot(Time slot)Preceding 4 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing, OFDM)The subcarrier upload of centre 72 of symbol is defeated, and exemplified by under conventional CP, one wireless
Frame needs to map 240 bit lengths(That is Msymb=240)Symbol sebolic addressing, the symbol sebolic addressing can be mapped in foregoing 4 just
Remaining 240 RE of resource shared by downlink reference signal are removed on 72 subcarriers among symbol(Resource Element,
Resource unit)On.
PBCH channels are placed on the reason for 72 subcarriers upload among frequency band is defeated to be:Receiving PBCH channel datas
Before, user is not aware that system descending bandwidth, only knows the center frequency point of downstream bands, thus PBCH transmission have to
Downlink bandwidth size is unrelated, and user completes PSS(Primary Synchronization Signal, master sync signal)With
SSS(Secondary Synchronization Signal, secondary synchronizing signal)Reception after, it is possible to know PBCH time-frequency
Position, PBCH time-frequency location are specifically as shown in Figure 2.
PBCH channels are mapped to 4 radio frames it can be seen from above-mentioned PBCH sending method(Respectively radio frames 4K,
4K+1、4K+2、4K+3)On, therefore, for the M2M terminals that channel condition is poor, above-mentioned 4 nothings can be distributed in using merging
The signal of line frame is to obtain merging gain.Due to M2M terminals and do not know which radio frames is PBCH channel start frames, therefore,
M2M terminals repeated detection is needed to attempt to obtain PBCH channel start frames.Detailed process:M2M terminals receive the PBCH of 4 radio frames
The data of time-frequency location, data symbol is carried out to include channel equalization, SFBC or SFBC+FSTD decodings/decoding, solution QPSK modulation
After operating procedure, the soft bit data using the exclusive scrambler of cell to 4 radio frames(Under conventional CP, each frame is 1920/4=
480 bits, in the case of extending CP, each frame is 1728/4=432 bit)Descrambled, then by solution rate-matched, convolution
The series of processing steps such as decoding and CRC check, if CRC check success, illustrate first of 4 received radio frames
Radio frames are exactly the start frame of PBCH channels, if CRC check fails, M2M terminals need to abandon first nothing in 4 radio frames
The PBCH of line frame data, and the PBCH data of a new radio frames are received, repeat said process.So, tasted by most 4 times
Examination, M2M terminals can confirm the start frame of PBCH channels, the SFN values carried with reference to PBCH channels, it is possible to determine each
The SFN of radio frames.As can be seen that after M2M terminals merge the data of 4 radio frames, it is necessary to preserve the demodulation of 4 radio frames
The symbol data of soft bit data or similar data volume(For example, it is also possible to the data before demodulation are preserved).
To reach 20dB coverage enhancement, a kind of feasible method is using repetition transmission etc. to LTE system existing channel
Reduce the transmission technology of code check., it is necessary to which covering for 20dB can just be met by repeating 100 times even hundreds of times for PBCH channels
Lid enhancing.However, because PBCH carries MIB, wherein carrying SFN information, in a PBCH repetition period, the SFN values of carrying
Constant can just be obtained in M2M end sides must be kept to merge gain.This method is also referred to as the scheme of coverage enhancement, i.e., by PBCH
After the operations such as data block is encoded, rate-matched, data bit flow uniformly scrambles and is mapped to M(M is to meet coverage enhancement mesh
Target PBCH numbers of repetition may be 100 to hundreds of)Transmitted in individual radio frames.Accordingly, 4 pieces are merged with existing M2M terminals
PBCH data are the same, and M2M terminals are needed according to by the way of sliding window reception, and the PBCH of trial detection each time needs to receive simultaneously
The PBCH data of M radio frames and unified descrambling are preserved, until decoding is correct and confirms PBCH transmission starting radio frames, this phase
Between, it is desirable to M2M terminals need to preserve the intermediate data of M block PBCH data(For example, the soft bit data after demodulation).
It is can be seen that from above-mentioned introduction according to PBCH coverage enhancement schemes, decode PBCH each time and attempt to be required to connect
Receive and preserve the PBCH data of M radio frames, in order to reach the gain of 20dB coverage enhancements, it is necessary to which existing PBCH channels are repeated
At least 100 times, therefore it also will be at least 100 times of existing demand that M2M terminals, which need the data volume that caches,.
By taking the soft bit after M2M terminal buffers demodulation as an example, each wireless soft ratio of frame buffer 480 of existing PBCH channels
It is special(Consideration must support conventional CP), existing method merge 4 radio frames PBCH signals, accordingly M2M terminals need to cache
480*4=1920 soft bit, if reaching 20dB coverage enhancement, the PBCH data for merging M=400 radio frames are needed, it is right
192000 soft bits should be cached.
For the M2M terminals of 3M bandwidth, its HARQ soft bit caching quantity can substantially store about 57600 soft ratios
Special data(Consider that M2M terminals support 8 processes), it can be seen that, even if the caching of M2M terminals is completely used for into PBCH reception
Processing, it far can not also meet the soft bit demand of PBCH detection process in above-mentioned PBCH coverage enhancements scheme.
As can be seen here, the problem of transmission plan according to PBCH coverage enhancements can bring M2M terminal buffers to be significantly increased,
And in M2M terminal chips for processing data to be buffered in accounting in M2M terminal chip costs larger, thus, use is above-mentioned
PBCH coverage enhancements scheme can cause the increase of M2M terminal costs, and it is clearly not that this is popularized for the mass market of M2M terminals
Profit.

In the above-described embodiments, with prior art similarly, enhancing PBCH is that MIB is mainly comprising descending for transmitting MIB
The PHICH and SFN of bandwidth information, cell, wherein, letter of the network with M2M terminals beforehand through protocol conventions enhancing PBCH carryings
Cease the concrete meaning expressed by SFN domains in domain.
Specifically, SFN domains are used for the starting radio frames for representing the enhancing PBCH cycles(First radio frames in TTI)Or terminate

In the starting radio frames for representing the enhancing PBCH cycles(First radio frames in TTI)Or terminate radio frames(Last nothing in TTI
Line frame)Or the high X positions of the binary bits of the corresponding wireless frame number of the radio frames of other agreements, X be protocol conventions just
Integer value.
Wherein, when the high X positions of the binary bits of the wireless frame number of SFN domain representations, remaining low S position not carried leads to
The PBCH decoded implicits for crossing enhancing obtain, and 2^S>=T.
For example, it is assumed that SFN values are made up of 10 binary bits, what it is when the expression of SFN domains is first in enhancing PBCHTTI
Radio frames it is high 3, then strengthen first radio frames in PBCH TTI low 7 be binary sequence " 0000000 ", are strengthened
Low 7 of second radio frames are binary sequence " 0000001 " in PBCH TTI, the 3rd radio frames in enhancing PBCH TTI

Based on above-described embodiment, as shown in fig.4, accordingly, M2M terminals receive the detailed of the enhancing PBCH of network side transmission
Thread journey is as follows:
Step 400:M2M terminals receive to be determined to need by enhancing PBCH, the M2M terminal that a TTI is transmitted of T radio frames
The radio frames number N of reception ', N ' is default positive integer.
Preferably, strengthen N number of nothing where PBCH in the above-mentioned TTI that M2M terminals are made an appointment based on local and network side
The position distribution of line frame determines N ' size.Specially:
If N number of radio frames where strengthening PBCH based on agreement are to be arranged in T radio frames in TTI with any one
N number of continuous radio frames of the radio frames as starting radio frames, or, the top n in T radio frames in the TTI is wireless
Frame, then N=N ';
If for example, N number of radio frames be TTI in continuous 3 radio frames, e.g., radio frames K, radio frames K+1, radio frames K+
2, then N '=3.
If N number of radio frames where strengthening PBCH based on agreement are any N number of discontinuous in T radio frames in TTI
Radio frames, or, for the radio frames of any N number of partial discontinuous in T radio frames in TTI, then N ' is to include N number of enhancing
First radio frames of PBCH radio frames and last radio frames and its between all radio frames number sum.
If for example, N number of radio frames be TTI in discontinuous 3 radio frames, e.g., radio frames K, radio frames K+2, radio frames K
+ 4, then N '=5.
Step 410:M2M end sides are repeated below process, until correct detect to strengthen PBCH:
The individual radio frames of continuous N ' are once received, in each radio frames of reception, from repeating mapping at default L
Symbolic solution on RE separates out enhancing PBCH symbol;
N number of radio frames are chosen from the individual radio frames of the N ';
The symbol of enhancing PBCH corresponding to N number of radio frames is formed into a complex-valued symbol sequence, to the complex-valued symbol sequence
Row detection trial recovers PBCH information bits;Wherein, N be less than or equal to T, N and T be it is default be more than 1 positive integer.
In the embodiment of the present invention, M2M terminals once receive the individual radio frames of continuous N ', in each radio frames of reception
In, can be first respectively in the N ' of reception from repeating mapping when the symbolic solution on default L RE separates out enhancing PBCH symbol
In each radio frames in individual radio frames, L symbol is read from default L RE, then respectively by each radio frames pair
The L symbol answered carries out deduplication, and it is M to obtain length corresponding to each radio framessymb/ N complex-valued symbol sequence;It is so-called to go
Repeat to refer to the replicated relation in L symbol of the member based on the determination reading of predefined recurring rule between each symbol, then institute
Resolution unit is stated to merge the symbol repeated, wherein, predefined recurring rule is, using one section of complex-valued symbol sequence as
One entirety is repeated several times;Or one section of complex-valued symbol sequence is repeated several times with symbol rank.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when M2M terminals choose N number of radio frames from the individual radio frames of N ', local and net can be based on
The position distribution of N number of radio frames in the TTI that network side is made an appointment where enhancing PBCH, wherein N is chosen in the individual radio frames of N '
Individual radio frames.Specially:
If N number of radio frames where strengthening PBCH based on agreement are to be arranged in T radio frames in TTI with any one
N number of continuous radio frames of the radio frames as starting radio frames, or, it is the top n radio frames in T radio frames in TTI,
N number of radio frames that then M2M terminals are chosen are the individual radio frames of N ' of reception;
If N number of radio frames where strengthening PBCH based on agreement are any N number of discontinuous in T radio frames in TTI
Radio frames, or, for the radio frames of any N number of partial discontinuous in T radio frames in TTI, then M2M terminals are individual wireless by N '
First radio frames of frame as enhancing PBCH where first radio frames, and according to enhancing PBCH where N number of radio frames
Distribution determine all N number of radio frames(Referring specifically to the associated description of step 400, will not be repeated here).
In the embodiment of the present invention, the L RE that M2M terminals are read in each radio frames makes an appointment to be local with network
Except PBCH as defined in 3GPP versions 11 and Long Term Evolution LTE protocol before, physical downlink control channel PDCCH, descending same
Outside RE shared by step channel and downlink reference signal, L RE.
And the L RE that M2M terminals are read in each radio frames, the one or more at system centre frequency band
On subcarrier, and overlap or partially overlap with the frequency band shared by first kind PBCH, or, end side is read in each radio frames
The L RE taken, on other out-of-band frequency bands of system centre frequency, and it is misaligned with the frequency band shared by first kind PBCH;
Wherein, PBCH as defined in the Long Term Evolution LTE protocols of first kind PBCH for 3GPP versions 11 and before.
On the other hand, the SFN domains that the enhancing PBCH that M2M terminals receive is carried, for representing enhancing PBCH TTI starting
The corresponding wireless frame number of radio frames or the radio frames of end radio frames or agreement;Or for representing enhancing PBCH TTI
Starting radio frames or terminate radio frames or agreement radio frames corresponding wireless frame number binary bits high X positions, X
For the positive integer of setting.
In the above-described embodiments, further, M2M terminals are after it have received the individual radio frames of N ', if from the N number of wireless of selection
Enhancing PBCH is correctly parsed in frame, then terminates flow, if failing correctly to parse enhancing from N number of radio frames of selection
PBCH, then first radio frames in the individual radio frames of N ' are deleted, and receive a new radio frames, it is individual wireless to form new N '
Frame, then choose N number of radio frames from the new individual radio frames of N ' and continue parsing enhancing PBCH ... ... by that analogy, until correct solution
Separate out enhancing PBCH.
Further description is made to above-described embodiment using specific application scenarios below.
Under the first application scenarios, enhancing PBCH and existing PBCH uses identical center frequency point.
Under this application scenarios, coverage enhancement PBCH is sent by the cycle of 400 radio frames, the starting radio frames in each cycle
For wireless frame number nfMeet nfMod400=0 radio frames, enhancing PBCH are mapped in preceding 40 radio frames in the cycle.With showing
Have that mode is similar, the PBCH information bits of 24 bits add 16 bit CRC totally 40 bits, are 120 ratios by convolutional encoding output
Spy, the information bit after rate-matched are 480 bits under conventional CP(The PBCH bits of a radio frames carrying can herein
Think 240 symbols, exemplified by corresponding to 480 bits, actual bit stream length depends on the stock number of PBCH in a radio frames)*
40(PBCH is mapped to 40 radio frames)=19200 bits, by scrambler sequence scrambling of the length for 19200 bits, QPSK modulation
Afterwards, 9600 symbols be mapped to enhancing PBCH where 40 radio frames on, needed in each radio frames carrying 240 symbol
Number, length is 240 symbol sebolic addressing(It is designated as S1)It is repeated 10 times, is transformed to the symbol sebolic addressing that length is 2400.
Table 1
(TDD ascending-descending subframes proportional arrangement tables)
In TDD(Time Division Duplex, time division duplex)Under standard, consider to support various TDD ascending-descending subframes
Configuration(It is specific as shown in table 1), strengthen the symbol sebolic addressing that length corresponding to PBCH is 2400 and be mapped in descending sub frame 0, descending son
Frame 1, descending sub frame 5 and descending sub frame 6, consider that special subframe is configured with a variety of situations, put aside and mapped in special subframe
PBCH。
So, in conventional CP, length be 2400 symbol sebolic addressing according to time domain after first frequency domain Sequential Mapping in system
Symbol 3, symbol 5 and the symbol 6 of first time slot of the subframe 0 at heart frequency in 15 PRB, the He of symbol 4 of second time slot
Symbol 5, and first time slot of subframe 5 symbol 3 to the symbol 0 of 6, second time slots of symbol to totally 15 symbols of symbol 5
On, totally 2400 RE of RE shared by cell own reference signal are removed, wherein, RE shared by cell own reference signal is specifically such as Fig. 5
Shown in Fig. 6.
Extend under CP, the symbol sebolic addressing length that a radio frames need to carry is 2160, can be mapped in first of subframe 0
The symbol 2 of time slot arrives symbol 5, the symbol 4 of second time slot, when the symbol 2 of first time slot of subframe 5 is to symbol 5, second
The symbol 0 of gap arrives symbol 4.
In FDD(Frequency Division Duplex, FDD)Under standard, a radio frames are shared under 10
Row subframe.So the symbol sebolic addressing that length corresponding to enhancing PBCH is 2400 can have more resource selections.
Under conventional CP, strengthen Sequential Mapping of the symbol sebolic addressing according to time domain after first frequency domain that length corresponding to PBCH is 2400
In symbol 3, symbol 4, symbol 5 and the symbol 6 of first time slot of the subframe 0 at system centre frequency in 6 PRB, subframe 5
The symbol 3 of first time slot arrives symbol 6, the symbol 0 of second time slot to symbol 6 totally 15 symbols.
Extend under CP, the symbol sebolic addressing length that a radio frames need to carry is 2160, can be mapped in first of subframe 0
The symbol 2 of time slot is to symbol 5, the symbol 2 of first time slot of subframe 5 to the symbol 0 of 5, second time slots of symbol to symbol 5.
With TDD standards, under conventional CP exemplified by, coverage enhancement PBCH resource impact schematic diagram is as shown in Figure 7.
M2M terminals are in detection, and exemplified by under conventional CP, M2M terminals read each wireless in a PBCH cycle first
2400 symbols on frame, it is the former symbol sebolic addressing that length is 240 by 2400 symbol mergings, demodulated, being changed into length is
The soft bit sequence of 480 bits.Obviously, M2M terminals only need to preserve the soft ratio of the bit of 480*40=19200 of 40 radio frames
Special sequence, you can to detect PBCH.
The covering gain source of such scheme, from two parts:Rate matching procedure, such scheme are existing PBCH side
10 times of repetitions of case;Resource impact process carries out 10 times of repetitions, equivalent to the 100 times repetitions of both compounds again.
As can be seen that in a PBCH transmission cycle, aforesaid way increases the merging for the repetition that can obtain 100 times
Benefit, and the soft bit data buffer storage of M2M terminals is reduced to original 10%(From 192000 soft bits be reduced to 19200 it is soft
Bit), greatly reduce the buffer size needed for M2M terminals demodulation PBCH.Certainly, it is limited by the limit of TDD descending sub frame quantity
System, above-mentioned resource impact only consider the descending sub frame that can be configured in subframe 0 and subframe 5 these various TDD uplink-downlink configurations,
And do not account for carrying out PBCH resource impacts in special subframe 1 and special subframe 6(6, band system band center, PRB is not carried together
The symbol of signal is walked, the subcarrier beyond 6 PRB of the heart can carry the PBCH of coverage enhancement in systems);If consider in spy
Bigger M2M terminal bandwidths are only supported in different subframe mapping PBCH resources and consideration(5MHz bandwidth and more than), then each nothing
240 symbol sebolic addressing S1 of line frame carrying can pass through to be repeated more times, and then M2M terminal buffers PBCH is further greatly reduced
Required soft bit resource overhead, until not having any increase to the cost of M2M terminals.
Under second of application scenarios, enhancing PBCH and existing PBCH uses different frequency bands.
If coverage enhancement PBCH uses the frequency band different from existing PBCH, that is, 6 PRB of system centre frequency band are not take up,
Then coverage enhancement PBCH resource impact will not be influenceed by existing PBCH, synchronizing signal etc..So take identical PRB
Number, there can be more resource transmission coverage enhancement PBCH.
It is identical with the first application scenarios, it is assumed that coverage enhancement PBCH takes 15 PRB, and in frequency band shared by the PBCH
The distance of the center frequency point of center carrier wave system of distance bandwidth is 5MHz.M2M terminals cover with network beforehand through protocol conventions
Strengthen the relative position relation of frequency band and system centre frequency shared by PBCH.
Only by taking resource-constrained TDD standards as an example(FDD standards can have more descending sub frame carrying PBCH, using this
Scheme can obtain bigger gain), first Slot symbol 3 of subframe 0, subframe 1, subframe 5 and subframe 6 can be taken to symbol
Numbers 6, all 7 symbols of second time slot, remove resource shared by public reference signal, share 4* [((4+7)*12-20)*15]
=6720 RE.Because single radio frames can repeat the length under the first application scenarios for the symbol sebolic addressing S1 of 240 bits
Up to 28 times, then M2M terminals are thus further greatly reduced and receive data soft bit caching needed for PBCH signals.Illustrate in detail such as
Under:
PBCH is sent by the cycle of 400 radio frames, and the start frame in each cycle is wireless frame number nfMeet nfMod400=
0 radio frames, PBCH are mapped in preceding 16 radio frames in the cycle.It is similar with existing way, the PBCH information bits of 24 bits
The CRC of 16 bits totally 40 bit is added, is 120 bits by convolutional encoding output, the information bit after rate-matched exists
It is 480 bits under conventional CP(The PBCH bits of a radio frames carrying can be carried as 240 symbols, corresponding 480 bits herein
Exemplified by, actual bit stream length depends on the stock number of PBCH in a radio frames)*16(PBCH is mapped to 16 radio frames)=
7680 bits.Scrambled by length for the scrambler sequence of 7680 bits, after QPSK modulation, 7680 symbols are mapped to where PBCH
16 radio frames on, in each radio frames carry 240 symbols, length be 240 symbol sebolic addressing(It is designated as S1)Repeat
28 times, it is transformed to the symbol sebolic addressing that length is 6720.The symbol sebolic addressing that length is 6720 is mapped in subframe 0, subframe 1, the and of subframe 5
Symbol 3 in first time slot of subframe 6 is to symbol 6, all 7 symbols of second time slot, in addition to public reference signal
Altogether on 6720 RE.
With TDD standards, under conventional CP exemplified by, coverage enhancement PBCH resource impact schematic diagram is as shown in Figure 8.
When M2M terminals detect, exemplified by under conventional CP, M2M terminals read each radio frames in a PBCH cycle first
On 6720 symbols, be the former symbol sebolic addressing that length is 240 by 6720 symbol mergings, it is demodulated, be changed into length as 480
The soft bit sequence of bit.M2M terminals only need the soft bit sequence that 480*16=7680 for preserving 4 radio frames are grown, you can with
PBCH is detected, is reduced to the 4% of original scheme, and the buffer size amount has been less than M2M terminals HARQ and cached.Amount to number of repetition
For 4(Rate matching procedure is repeated 4 times)*28(Resource impact process repeats 28 times)=112 times.
