Description

Low-earth-orbit-satellite-based non-ground network random access method and device
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of non-terrestrial network technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for low-earth satellite-based random access to a non-terrestrial network.
Background
Compared with a land mobile communication system, the satellite communication has the advantages of wide coverage and no influence of ground natural disasters, and can provide services in scenes with missing ground communication facilities such as disaster areas, polar regions, oceans, deserts, forests and the like. In order to enhance and expand the coverage of the terrestrial 5G network, 3GPP discusses the architecture of the non-terrestrial network after 5G and satellite fusion, air interface protocol enhancement, mobility management, and the like in Release15 and Release16, wherein the situations that the satellite carries transparent loads and renewable loads are considered. In addition, the European SATis5 project verifies the feasibility of satellite infrastructure as a backhaul between a base station and a core network by building a satellite-ground fusion test platform.
3GPP proposes a satellite-based non-terrestrial network, in which the cell range is extended to tens or even hundreds of kilometers, and in addition, the fast movement of the low-orbit satellite relative to the ground brings about a large doppler shift, both of which cause the satellite-borne base station to enlarge the preamble receiving window in random access and to adopt more bits to indicate the amount of Timing Advance (TA), and at the same time, more preamble sequence repetition times and larger cyclic shift intervals are required. However, prolonging the uplink preamble receiving window will cause the spectrum efficiency of the network to decrease, increasing the number of TA value indicating bits will bring extra signaling overhead, and using a larger cyclic shift interval will cause the available preamble resources to decrease, and the user access contention to the network to be aggravated.

The random access method for the non-terrestrial network is applied to the problem that the probability of successful random access of a user is low due to the wide geographical range and the large Doppler frequency offset of a low-orbit satellite, the position of the user, the TA value of the user and the frequency offset value of an uplink signal are estimated based on downlink frequency offset data, satellite coordinates and satellite velocity vector data which are periodically sent by the satellite-borne base station by the user side and calculated by SSB, and random access is initiated through an enhanced lead code format to obtain the service of the satellite-borne base station, wherein the application scenario is shown in FIG. 10. The method has the advantages that the user can realize the estimation of TA (timing advance) and the uplink frequency offset precompensation of the uplink data of the user by only acquiring the downlink SSB (single serving cell) signal of each satellite once, so that the base station does not need to prolong the length of a preamble sequence receiving window and increase the indication range of the TA value, the frequency offset value of the preamble signal detected by the base station is relatively small, the characteristics of the preamble signal among different users are distinct, and the aims of improving the overall spectrum efficiency of a network and the success probability of random access are fulfilled.
