For the cell searching in MMC network, it is understood that there may be two kinds of application scenarios.One Kind be the scene only existing millimeter wave community, another kind be millimeter wave community and low frequency community (as LTE community, LTE-A community etc.) scene that coexists.Hereinafter, both fields it are respectively directed to Scape provides the scheme of the suggestion of the present invention.
Scene 1: only exist millimeter wave community
In such a scenario, owing to only existing single millimeter wave network, therefore propagation loss The biggest.It has recently been demonstrated that at the cell edge that radius is 200 meter MMC communities, Propagation loss is likely to be breached 140dB (document that sees reference [1]).Micro-with the 2.6GHz of LTE Ripple is compared, and has extra 20dB path loss.In this case, with in LTE network Comparing, for identical user and base station (eNB) spacing, user is at this MMC net Network is difficulty with cell searching and is synchronized to the community searched.
In MMC, owing to the wavelength of millimeter wave is less, it is possible to realize compact sky neatly Linear array.Therefore can use in the base station of MMC network and there is a large amount of antenna element (shake Son) large-scale antenna array.The aerial array of emitting side can be used to form launching beam To compensate the signal propagation losses in certain coverage.Such as, in MMC, comprise 128 The large-scale antenna array of individual antenna element can be than omnidirectional transmitter antenna many offers 21dB Gain.
As it has been described above, launching beam can strengthen the propagation quality in certain coverage, this Representing in the case of given launching beam, only certain customers can search successful execution community Rope.In order to realize being completely covered of MMC community, it is proposed that following scheme.
Fig. 1 shows that the community for MMC network according to first embodiment of the invention is searched The schematic diagram of Suo Fangfa.As shown in fig. 1, MMC network is single MMC network, Its not with any Low Frequency Network (such as LTE or LTE-A network) depositing.At this MMC net In network, MMC base station 10 includes the large-scale antenna array with a large amount of antenna element.This Outward, it is assumed that base station 10 performs cell searching in cell a.

Here, reserving during beam index can be configured in known PSS or SSS form Position, or new PSS or SSS form can be designed.
In this way, the launching beam of base station 10 covers whole MMC community simultaneously, It is right that the UE of PSS or SSS entrained by receiving and be successfully decoded in launching beam can obtain Other routine informations entrained in the beam index of the launching beam answered and PSS and SSS (such as community ID etc., as previously mentioned), it is similar to lower than MMC network bands with realization Network in the down-going synchronous of (such as 3G or 4G community).Further, UE is also by profit Uplink is carried out to realize uplink synchronous and other functions by beam index.
In the first embodiment, base station utilizes all antenna elements of aerial array to send out simultaneously Ejected wave bundle, thus each launching beam the widest (as shown in fig. 1) produced, and community The coverage ultimate range of MMC base station (that is, the UE can be successfully accessed) is limited.For Raising cell coverage area, it is proposed that beam scanning scheme, as described below.
Fig. 2 shows that the community for MMC network according to second embodiment of the invention is searched The schematic diagram of Suo Fangfa.As shown in Figure 2, MMC network is single MMC network, Its not with any Low Frequency Network (such as LTE or LTE-A network) depositing.At this MMC net In network, MMC base station 10 includes the large-scale antenna array with a large amount of antenna element.This Outward, it is assumed that base station 10 performs cell searching in cell a.
In this embodiment, multiple antenna elements of the large-scale antenna array of base station 10 Being divided into multiple antenna sets, each antenna sets can produce a launching beam, in Fig. 2 Shown wave beam 1, wave beam 2 ... wave beam N.
It follows that at each time slot, base station 10 produces a transmitted wave by an antenna sets Bundle, and launch PSS and SSS by this launching beam UE in MMC community.Its In this PSS or SSS comprise the beam index of launching beam of correspondence and this launching beam The beam scanning cycle.
Here, reserving during beam index can be configured in known PSS or SSS form Position, or new PSS or SSS form can be designed.
In this way, base station 10 is complete by perform that beam scanning achieves community Cover.Owing in one time slot, only one of which launching beam transmits for PSS and SSS, Therefore launching beam can provide big link budget Extended Cell coverage.
The UE receiving and being successfully decoded PSS and SSS entrained in launching beam can obtain Take the beam index of launching beam, beam scanning cycle and other routine informations of correspondence, To realize downlink and uplink synchronization.
In this second embodiment, cell coverage area improves, but the cell searching cycle becomes Long.It is therefore proposed that following embodiment is to consider cell searching cycle and MPS process model The compromise enclosed.
Fig. 3 shows that the community for MMC network according to third embodiment of the invention is searched The schematic diagram of Suo Fangfa.As shown in Figure 3, MMC network is single MMC network, Its not with any Low Frequency Network (such as LTE or LTE-A network) depositing.At this MMC net In network, MMC base station 10 includes the large-scale antenna array with a large amount of antenna element.This Outward, it is assumed that base station 10 performs cell searching in cell a.
In this embodiment, similar with the second embodiment, the extensive sky of base station 10 Multiple antenna elements of linear array are divided into multiple antenna sets, and each antenna sets can produce one Individual launching beam, wave beam 1 as shown in Figure 3, wave beam 2 ... wave beam N.
Different from the second embodiment, by two or more antenna sets in multiple antenna sets Constitute an antenna sets combination.
It follows that at each time slot, base station 10 produces one by an antenna sets combination and sends out Penetrate beam combination, and launch PSS by this launching beam UE in MMC community And SSS.The beam combination rope that the launching beam that wherein this PSS or SSS comprises correspondence combines Regard it as and the beam scanning cycle of this launching beam combination.
Here, beam combination index can be configured in known PSS or SSS form Reserved location, or new PSS or SSS form can be designed.
It can be seen that different from Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, in the embodiment of fig. 3, base station was both Launch not by all antenna elements simultaneously, be not the most only to launch a wave beam, and It it is the combination every time launching two or more wave beams.For example, it is assumed that launch two ripples every time The combination of bundle, then base station 10 such as can (can at the first slot transmission wave beam 1 and wave beam 2 With referred to as beam combination I), (it is properly termed as ripple at the second slot transmission wave beam 3 and wave beam 4 Shu Zuhe II), the rest may be inferred.Certainly, the invention is not limited in this, but can be every The combination of any wave beam of secondary transmitting.
In this realization, due in each time slot, several wave beam groups base station selected Combination is transmitted for PSS and SSS, it is achieved that the community that fast cell search is become reconciled is covered Balance between lid scope.
The UE receiving and being successfully decoded PSS and SSS entrained in launching beam can obtain Take beam combination index, the beam scanning cycle of the launching beam combination of correspondence and other are normal Rule information, to realize downlink and uplink synchronization.
Fig. 4 shows that the community for MMC network according to four embodiment of the invention is searched The schematic diagram of Suo Fangfa.As shown in Figure 4, MMC network is single MMC network, Its not with any Low Frequency Network (such as LTE or LTE-A network) depositing.At this MMC net In network, MMC base station 10 includes the large-scale antenna array with a large amount of antenna element.This Outward, it is assumed that base station 10 performs cell searching in cell a.
Different from the embodiment shown in Fig. 1-Fig. 3, in the embodiment of Fig. 4, community Search for and actively initiated by UE.
First UE sends public reference signal (RS).
Base station 10, according to the public RS of UE, obtains the directional information of UE.
Here, with second and the 3rd in embodiment similar, the extensive antenna array of base station 10 Antenna element in row is divided into multiple antenna sets or antenna sets combination.
Base station can be according to the directional information of the UE obtained by UE and one of them antenna sets Launching beam combination corresponding to corresponding launching beam or an antenna sets combination is carried out Association, and combine transmitting PSS and SSS by this launching beam or launching beam, to enter Row downlink and uplink synchronizes.
In this realization, as required, UE can periodically or aperiodically launch Public reference signal, so that base station can fast Acquisition UE direction quickly associate transmitted wave Bundle or launching beam combination, thus shorten wave beam and follow the tracks of the time and achieve low latency clothes Business demand.
Here, for supporting UE to send the MMC network of specific public RS, the 4th The scheme of embodiment is preferably as cell searching can be realized quickly.But, If UE does not support the transmission of this specific public RS, the enforcement of Fig. 1-Fig. 3 can be selected Any one in mode.It is to say, the 4th embodiment and the first to the 3rd embodiment Can backward compatibility well.
The heterogeneous network that scene 2:MMC community and low frequency community coexist
Starting stage at 5G network, it is likely that deployment 5G community and 4G community coexist Heterogeneous network, as shown in Figure 5.In such a scenario, owing to there is high channel quality Low frequency community, it is therefore possible to utilize multi-link next gram with MMC community and low frequency community Take the big propagation loss of MMC network, it is achieved quickly cell searching.
Fig. 5 shows that the community for MMC network according to fifth embodiment of the invention is searched The system schematic of Suo Fangfa;Fig. 6 shows the cell searching of the embodiment shown in Fig. 5 The flow chart of method.Different from the embodiment shown in Fig. 1-Fig. 4, this MMC network Single MMC network, its with Low Frequency Network (such as LTE or LTE-A network) and Deposit.MMC network includes MMC base station 10, and Low Frequency Network includes low frequency base station 20, UE30 It is in the coverage of both MMC network and Low Frequency Network, and has and MMC net The ability that network and this Low Frequency Network communicate.
As shown in Figure 6, in this embodiment, MMC base station 10 and low frequency base station 20 pre-build association, to share information each other.More specifically, low frequency base station 20 Obtain the system information of MMC network from MMC base station 10 and store it in low frequency base station In 20.
Here, the system information of MMC network such as can include at least in the following : the system bandwidth of MMC network, the frequency domain of UE and/or time-domain wave beam pattern and UE's Low Frequency Network community recommendation information.
First, UE 30 and low frequency base station 20 perform Stochastic accessing, to set up connection.UE 30 Set up, with low frequency base station 20, the process connected similar with prior art, therefore repeat no more.
Difference is, after UE 30 is connected with low frequency base station 20 foundation, it is from low Frequently base station 20 obtains the system information of MMC network.This system information is such as by under physics Row is shared channel (PDSCH) and is sent to UE 30 from low frequency base station 20.
It follows that the system information that UE 30 utilizes the MMC network obtained performs and MMC Being initially accessed of base station 10, to set up connection.
Owing to UE 30 can quickly obtain the system information of MMC network, therefore it can be fast Speed ground performs wave beam with MMC base station and associates, thus completes cell searching.
Here, after obtaining the system information of MMC network, UE 30 and MMC base station The access procedure of 10 is similar with Low Frequency Network (such as 4G or 3G network), the most superfluous State.
In the scheme of scene 1, UE Yu MMC network is only capable of and performs wave beam pass in time domain Connection.Different from scene 1, in the scheme of scene 2, UE knows MMC network in advance System information, therefore can be carried out wave beam in frequency domain with time domain and associate, thus enter one Step reduces access delay.
