(2) In a different system, the terminal device may be referred to as a User Equipment (UE) in a 5G system, the wireless terminal device may communicate with one or more core networks via a RAN, and the wireless terminal device may be a mobile terminal device such as a mobile phone (or a "cellular" phone) and a computer having a mobile terminal device such as a portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-included, or vehicle-mounted mobile device that exchanges language and/or data with a wireless access network, for example, a Personal Communication Service (PCS) phone, a cordless phone, a session initiation protocol (session initiated protocol) subscriber, a local wireless terminal (SIP) device, a local wireless terminal (W) device, a remote terminal(s) (also referred to as a mobile station), a remote access Point (PDA), a remote terminal (station), a remote access point (mobile station), a wireless terminal (station) device (mobile station), a wireless access point (mobile station), a remote access point (wireless terminal), or a remote access point (wireless terminal) device (wireless station), or a wireless terminal (station) device (wireless access point), or a remote access point (wireless terminal device).

The following detailed description of embodiments of the present application will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the 5G NR V2X system, terminals communicate directly with each other using a PC5 port. Before the service data transmission is carried out, synchronization is established between two terminals which need to communicate at first at a port of the PC 5. The method for establishing synchronization is that one terminal A sends synchronization and broadcast signals, the other terminal B receives the synchronization and broadcast signals sent by the terminal A, once the terminal B successfully receives and demodulates, the two terminals can establish synchronization, and preparation is made for next step of direct communication, wherein the synchronization and broadcast signals are carried through S-SSB.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the S-SSB under CP-OFDM waveform and the S-SSB under DFT-S-OFDM waveform are illustrated respectively.

As shown, the abscissa is the time domain, and each column represents one Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol. The ordinate is the frequency domain, which in the figure is 25 Resource Blocks (RB). Two S-SSBs are accommodated in a Slot (Slot), a data transmission region is formed between time-frequency resources occupied by the two S-SSBs, the data transmission region comprises data or DMRS, an Automatic Gain Control (AGC) signal occupies a first OFDM symbol, and a Guard Period (GP) occupies a last OFDM symbol. One S-SSB includes a direct link-Primary Synchronization Signal (S-PSS), a direct link-Secondary Synchronization Signal (S-SSS), a Physical direct link Broadcast Channel (PSBCH), and DMRS.

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the S-SSB under the two waveforms is obviously different, and the main difference is that the DMRS signals are mapped differently, and the DMRS signals under the CP-OFDM waveform are embedded in the PSBCH signal, while the DMRS signals under the DFT-S-OFDM waveform occupy one symbol separately.

For the V2X Sidelink communication link, different S-SSBs need to be designed for different waveforms because the communication link may use CP-OFDM waveform or DFT-S-OFDM waveform, which has the limitation of data multiplexing. This introduces complexity into the design of the S-SSB and the specification of the standard, and complexity into the implementation of subsequent products.

In order to solve the above problem, an embodiment of the present application proposes a method for transmitting synchronization broadcast information, in which a terminal generates an S-SSB including at least an S-PSS, an S-SSS, and a PSBCH signal but not a DMRSD, and transmits the S-SSB; the S-SSB designed in the way is irrelevant to the adopted waveform, namely the same S-SSB is provided under the CP-OFDM waveform and the DFT-S-OFDM waveform, so that the complexity of S-SSB design and the complexity of standard formulation are reduced.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a method for sending a synchronized broadcast message according to an embodiment of the present application.

In practical applications, the first device may send two identical S-SSBs in one timeslot, where a data transmission region is located between time-frequency resources occupied by the two S-SSBs, and the data transmission region includes at least two symbols.

For the data transmission area, if the data transmission area and the S-SSB positioned in front of the data transmission area belong to the same user for receiving, AGC training is not needed; if the data transmission region and the S-SSB located in front of the data transmission region belong to different terminal reception, AGC training is required, namely, the first symbol in the data transmission region is used for AGC.

Specifically, a first symbol in S-SSB is occupied by S-PSS, a second symbol in S-SSB is occupied by PSBCH signal, a third symbol in S-SSB is occupied by S-SSS, and a fourth symbol in S-SSB is occupied by PSBCH signal; or, the first symbol in the S-SSB is occupied by the PSBCH signal, the second symbol in the S-SSB is occupied by the S-SSS, the third symbol in the S-SSB is occupied by the PSBCH signal, and the fourth symbol in the S-SSB is occupied by the S-PSS.

And the second equipment demodulates the synchronous broadcast information carried in the S-SSB, and if the demodulation is successful, the second equipment establishes synchronization with a sending end sending the S-SSB so as to prepare for the next step of direct communication.

In S402, the second device uses the S-SSS in the S-SSB to perform channel estimation and demodulates the PSBCH signal by using the channel estimation value because the S-SSB received by the second device does not include the DMRS, so that the demodulation complexity of the second device can be reduced, the error rate of the PSBCH signal and the resource utilization rate of the S-SSB can be improved, the implementation is simple, and the power resource can be saved.

In the above embodiments of the present application, the first device generates an S-SSB including at least S-PSS, S-SSS, and PSBCH signals, but not DMRS, and transmits the S-SSB; the S-SSB designed in the way is irrelevant to the waveform, so that the same S-SSB is realized under two waveforms of CP-OFDM and DFT-S-OFDM, the complexity of S-SSB design is reduced, and the time frequency resource occupied by the S-SSB is saved; when the second device detects the received synchronous broadcast information in the S-SSB, the second device can demodulate the PSBCH signal according to the S-SSS because the S-SSB does not comprise the DMRS, so that the demodulation complexity of the terminal can be reduced, the error rate of the PSBCH signal and the resource utilization rate of the S-SSB are improved, the realization is simple, and the power resource is saved.
