The invention of the original application is named: UE supporting synchronization signal, method and device in base station

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for downlink transmission in a wireless communication system supporting a synchronization signal, and more particularly, to a scheme and an apparatus for downlink transmission in a wireless communication system using MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology.

Background

Large scale (Massive) MIMO has become a research hotspot for next generation mobile communications. In large-scale MIMO, multiple antennas form a narrow beam pointing to a specific direction by beamforming to improve communication quality. The beams formed by multi-antenna beamforming are generally narrow, so that the coverage of the synchronization signal is a problem to be solved.

A Beam Sweeping (Beam Sweeping) scheme is proposed in a #74bis conference of 3GPP (3rd Generation Partner Project) RAN (Radio Access Network ) WG (Working Group) 1, that is, a base station transmits a synchronization signal for multiple times in a TDM (time Division Multiplexing) manner, and transmits a Beam for different directions each time.

Disclosure of Invention

The inventor found through research that when the synchronization signal is transmitted in a beam sweeping manner, since beams pointing in different directions need to be transmitted in a TDM manner, the transmission time required for the synchronization signal may increase. In order to reduce the transmission time required for the synchronization signal, the primary synchronization signal and the secondary synchronization signal may be multiplexed by FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing), and such FDM-based Multiplexing causes difficulty in detecting the CP (Cyclic preamble) length. In addition, it is likely that CRS (Common Reference Signal) is not available in the next generation mobile communication system, and thus blind detection of an antenna port used for a broadcast Signal is another problem.

The present invention discloses a solution to the above problems. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments in the UE of the present application may be applied to the base station, and vice versa.
