Embodiment
Embodiments provide a kind of bunch head defining method and subscriber equipment, in order to realize the determination of bunch head in user equipment side, particularly UE according to the rule that some is arranged determine one search time length, according to bunch head special signal Search Results in search time length, judge whether to become bunch head to send a bunch head special signal, for around UE provides reference synchronization and other information, the UE in one bunch is made to realize synchronous transmission, thus the synchronous transmission solved without network scenarios and bunch head the Uniqueness.
Provide the detailed introduction of the technical scheme that the embodiment of the present invention provides below.
Bunch head defining method that the embodiment of the present invention provides comprises three steps:
The first step: when UE needs to determine bunch head, UE adopts one of following method, determines length search time of searching for bunch head special signal.
Method one: UE determines length search time according to the UE type of self or UE grade.
UE determines corresponding UE priority according to the UE type of self, and according to the UE priority determined, and the UE priority preset and search time length corresponding relation, determine length search time.Such as, priority corresponding to UE type is higher, and search time, length was shorter.
Or, UE according to the UE type of self, and preset UE type and search time length corresponding relation, determine length search time.Such as, length search time of UE type one correspondence is length search time of T1, UE type two correspondence is T2.
Or, UE according to the UE grade of self, and preset UE grade and search time length corresponding relation, determine length search time.
Method two: UE determines to measure the receiving intensity of bunch head special signal that former bunch of hair obtaining send, and UE is according to this receiving intensity, and the receiving intensity of bunch head special signal preset and the corresponding relation of length search time, determines length search time of correspondence.Such as, correspond to length search time according to quantification gradation after measuring the receiving intensity quantification of bunch head special signal obtained, intensity is larger, and search time is shorter.Based on this method, the UE nearer apart from former bunch of head more has an opportunity to become new bunch of head, thus can reduce and change bunch head to bunch impact covered.
Method three: UE determines length range search time, and foundation preset rules determines length search time of self in described search time in length range.
Can the corresponding relation (also can not have this corresponding relation but use length range predefined search time) of preset search time span scope and UE type or grade, different UEs type or length range search time corresponding to grade are made an appointment.Namely UE according to the UE type of self and default UE type and search time length range corresponding relation determine length range search time, or UE according to the UE grade of self and default UE grade and search time length range corresponding relation determine length range search time; The search time that UE is determining determines length search time in Stochastic choice mode in length range, or UE according to preset UE parameter and search time length corresponding relation, the UE parameter based on self determines length search time from the search time determined in length range.Such as, length range search time of UE type one correspondence is [0, T1], and length range search time of UE type two correspondence is [T1, T2].UE determines length search time of self after determining length range corresponding search time according to own type or grade according to certain rule.Particularly, the search time that UE is determining determines length search time in the mode of Stochastic choice in length range, and all possible search time of UE in search time length range be Stochastic choice one length search time in length value; Or, UE according to the UE parameter of making an appointment and search time length corresponding relation, UE parameter based on self determines length search time from the search time determined in length range, wherein, UE parameter can be the D2D ID of UE, the parameters such as the International Mobile Station Equipment Identification (International Mobile Equipment Identity, IMEI) of UE.Such as, search time length t=K mod (T2-T1+1)+T1, wherein K be the D2D ID of UE, T1 and T2 be respectively determine search time length range minimum and maximum length search time.
Or, length range search time of UE is made an appointment, in this length range, determine length search time of self according to certain rule search time, namely the search time that UE is making an appointment determines length search time in Stochastic choice mode in length range, or UE according to preset UE parameter and search time length corresponding relation, UE parameter based on self determines length search time from the search time of making an appointment in length range, specifically comprises:
UE determines search time length in the mode of Stochastic choice in the search time of agreement in length range; Concrete, UE is in institute in length range search time of agreement likely Stochastic choice time span in time span value; Or
UE according to the UE parameter of making an appointment and search time length corresponding relation, the UE parameter based on self determines length search time from the search time of making an appointment in length range, and wherein UE parameter can be the D2D ID of UE, the parameters such as the IMEI of UE.Such as, search time length t=K mod (T2-T1+1)+T1, wherein K be the D2D ID of UE, T1 and T2 be respectively agreement search time length range minimum and maximum length search time.
Wherein, method one and the UE type described in method three at least comprise the dissimilar UE determined according to following either type:
Whether can receive synchronizing signal or the synchronizing channel (being a type when being, is again a type in situation that no, lower same) of base station transmission;
Whether can receive the broadcast channel that base station sends;
Whether can receive the synchronizing signal that independent bunch of hair send;
Whether can receive a bunch head special signal;
Whether can be synchronous with global positioning system (Global Positioning System, GPS);
Whether there is scheduling of resource ability.
Wherein, method one and the UE grade described in method three at least comprise the UE grade adopting following either type to determine:
According to obtaining the UE grade that lock in time, length divided;
According to the UE grade that different service quality (Quality of Service, QoS) determines;
According to the UE grade that D2D ID or application divide;
According to the UE grade that the power consumption ability to bear of UE divides.
Wherein, described search time, length can be bunch multiple in the cycle of head special signal, and, further can also using this multiple as the unit characterizing length search time, such as: when search time, length was 1, expression length search time is specially 1 times of bunch cycle of head special signal, when search time, length was 2, expression length search time is specially 2 times of bunch cycle of head special signal, by that analogy.
Wherein, when meeting the following conditions for the moment, UE determines that a bunch head determined by needs:
Condition one: UE start to access community or bunch;
Such as, UE enters communications status or opens certain needs certain communication functions (such as D2D) of bunch head, by start to carry out community or bunch search, now need first to determine a bunch head, UE is using the start time point of time point now as search window.
Condition two: UE does not detect a bunch head special signal on the physical resource of bunch head special signal of former bunch of head;
Such as, UE continues to detect respective cluster head special signal (such as on bunch physical resource that head special signal is used of former bunch of head, detect on fixing running time-frequency resource with the fixed cycle), when certain cycle UE does not detect this bunch of head special signal, then need to redefine a bunch head, UE is using the start time point of time point now as search window, and now UE enters the process of search bunch head special signal, namely starts to perform the above-mentioned first step.
Condition three: UE detects a bunch head special signal;
Such as, after UE completes the detection of primary cluster head special signal, UE, using the start time point of current time point as search window, starts to search for the upper bunch head special signal once sent of this bunch of head in length in search time, to determine whether this bunch of head still exists or whether change.
The search time that second step: UE is determining detects bunch head special signal in length.
UE detects bunch head special signal on the physical resource of agreement;
Before searching bunch head special signal, UE still can carry out transmission and/or the reception of signal according to the reference synchronization obtained from original bunch head, or does not carry out transmission and/or the reception of signal.
UE can all bunches of head special signals in search system, bunch head special signal that bunch hair also only can searching for some particular UE type send.Such as, UE only can search for bunch head special signal that independent bunch of hair send, and does not search for bunch head special signal of UE forwarding, also can all search for by two kinds of signals; UE only can search for bunch head special signal that bunch hair with scheduling of resource ability send, and does not search for bunch head special signal that other bunch of hair send, and also can all search for by two kinds of signals.
3rd step: UE determines whether become a bunch head according to testing result, and after being determined to become bunch head, sends bunch head special signal.
If UE detects target bunch head special signal in second step, then according to bunch head special signal detected, obtain reference synchronization.
If UE does not detect target bunch head special signal in search time in length, then determine oneself to become a bunch head, and send bunch head special signal on the physical resource of agreement.Particularly, bunch head special signal that original bunch hair can send by the UE some or all of information of carrying sends as bunch information that head special signal is carried of oneself, also can add other information according to inherent parameters.
Bunch head special signal described in the embodiment of the present invention is the signal for identifying bunch head, and bunch head special signal that in the embodiment of the present invention, UE sends, can comprise the information such as synchronizing signal, synchronizing channel, broadcast channel.Wherein, synchronizing signal and synchronizing channel are used for providing reference synchronization for receiving terminal; Synchronizing channel or broadcast channel can carry subframe numbering, radio frames numbering, bunch head UE information, bandwidth information, bunch information etc.Bunch head special signal can only be sent by an independently bunch hair, also can be forwarded by the particular UE receiving this bunch of head special signal.

Suppose that the average reception intensity of bunch head special signal that this UE receives is between a to b, then search time, length was 5 bunches of head special signal cycles accordingly.
Wherein, a, b, k are the default number being greater than 0.
UE detects in the search time determined bunch head special signal that bunch hair send in length in the fixed physical resource of agreement, and UE only needs to detect whether there is synchronizing signal in the bandwidth of agreement.Such as, UE travels through all possible synchronizing sequence and carries out relevant to Received signal strength, determines whether there is synchronizing signal according to correlated results.
