Technical Field

The embodiment of the application relates to the technical field of mobile communication, in particular to a method and a device for accessing a network, a terminal and network equipment.

Background

The zero-power consumption terminal can drive the terminal to work only after acquiring the energy obtained by radio waves sent by the network node. Thus, the zero power terminals are in an "off" state, i.e., an off-grid state, before energy is harvested. In addition, for the zero-power consumption communication system, the network deployment may be in an island coverage mode, and the full coverage mode cannot be achieved, so that the zero-power consumption terminal is in an off-network state because of no network coverage.

For zero power terminals, the power supply is limited and the network coverage is limited, so that the terminal can be frequently in an off-network state. When the zero-power consumption terminal is powered and enters the coverage area of the zero-power consumption network, the zero-power consumption terminal can communicate with the network side, and how to quickly access the network is a problem to be solved.

Zero power consumption communication technology principle

Zero Power (Zero Power) communication employs energy harvesting and backscatter communication techniques. The zero power consumption communication system is composed of a network device and a zero power consumption terminal, as shown in fig. 2. The network device is used for sending energy supply signals (namely radio waves), downlink communication signals and receiving back scattering signals of the zero-power-consumption terminal to the zero-power-consumption terminal. As an example, a zero power consumption terminal includes an energy harvesting module, a backscatter communication module, and a low power consumption computing module. In addition, the zero-power consumption terminal can be further provided with a memory and/or a sensor, wherein the memory is used for storing basic information (such as object identification and the like), and the sensor is used for acquiring sensing data of ambient temperature, ambient humidity and the like.

The key techniques for zero power consumption communication are further described below.

(1) Energy Harvesting (Power Harvesting)

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of energy collection, and as shown in fig. 3, an energy collection module collects space electromagnetic wave energy based on an electromagnetic induction principle, so as to obtain energy required for driving a zero-power-consumption terminal to work, and drive a load circuit (such as a low-power-consumption calculation module, a sensor and the like). Therefore, the zero-power consumption terminal does not need a traditional battery, and battery-free communication is realized.

As an example, the energy collection module refers to a radio frequency energy collection module, and the radio frequency energy collection module can collect energy carried by radio waves in a space, so as to collect electromagnetic wave energy in the space.

(2) Backscatter communication (Back Scattering)

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of backscatter communication, as shown in fig. 4, in which a zero-power consumption terminal receives a wireless signal (i.e., the carrier wave in fig. 4) sent by a network device, modulates the wireless signal, i.e., loads information to be sent on the wireless signal, and radiates the modulated signal from an antenna, and this information transmission process is called backscatter communication.

The backscattering communication and the load modulation are inseparable, and the load modulation is a method for loading information which is frequently used by a zero-power-consumption terminal. The load modulation is carried out by adjusting and controlling the circuit parameters of the oscillation circuit of the zero-power-consumption terminal according to the beat of the data stream, so that the magnitude and/or the phase of the impedance of the zero-power-consumption terminal are changed accordingly, and the modulation process is completed. The load modulation technique mainly comprises two modes of resistance load modulation and capacitance load modulation.

As shown in fig. 5, in resistive load modulation, a resistor is connected in parallel to a load, which is called a load modulation resistor, and is turned on or off based on control of binary data stream, and the on-off of the resistor causes a change in circuit voltage, so that amplitude-shift keying modulation (ASK) is implemented, that is, modulation of a signal is implemented by adjusting the amplitude of a backscatter signal of a zero-power consumption terminal. Similarly, in capacitive load modulation, the load is connected in parallel with a capacitor, called load modulation capacitor, which replaces the load modulation resistor in fig. 5, and the change of the resonant frequency of the circuit can be achieved by switching on and off the capacitor, so that frequency keying modulation (FSK) is achieved, that is, the modulation of the signal is achieved by adjusting the working frequency of the back-scattered signal of the zero-power terminal.

Therefore, the zero-power consumption terminal carries out information modulation on the incoming wave signal by means of a load modulation mode, so that a backscattering communication process is realized. Thus, a zero power consumption terminal has the following significant advantages: on the one hand, the zero-power terminals do not actively transmit signals, and therefore do not need complex radio frequency links, such as power amplifiers, radio frequency filters, and the like. On the other hand, the zero-power-consumption terminal does not need to actively generate a high-frequency signal, so that a high-frequency crystal oscillator is not needed. On the other hand, the zero-power-consumption terminal uses back scattering communication, and the transmission process of the zero-power-consumption terminal does not consume the energy of the zero-power-consumption terminal.

Coding mode of zero-power consumption communication

The data transmitted by the zero-power consumption terminal can be represented by binary '1' and '0' in different forms of codes. Radio frequency identification systems typically use one of the following encoding methods: reverse Non Return Zero (NRZ) encoding, manchester (Manchester) encoding, unipolar Return Zero (unipole RZ) encoding, differential bi-phase (DBP) encoding, miller (Miller) encoding, and differential encoding. Binary "1" and "0" are represented by different forms of codes, and it is also understood that 0 and 1 are represented by different pulse signals. Several numbering schemes are described below.

(1) Reverse non-return to zero coding

The inverse non-return to zero code represents a binary "1" with a high level and a binary "0" with a low level, as shown in fig. 6.

(2) Manchester encoding

Manchester encoding is also known as Split-Phase encoding (Split-Phase encoding). In manchester encoding, the value of a bit is represented by a change (rise/fall) in level for half a bit period within the bit length, a negative transition for half a bit period representing a binary "1", and a positive transition for half a bit period representing a binary "0", as shown in fig. 7.

Manchester encoding is typically used for data transmission from a zero power terminal to a network device when carrier load modulation or backscatter modulation is employed, as this facilitates the discovery of errors in the data transmission. This is because the "unchanged" state is not allowed within the bit length. When the data bits transmitted by the plurality of zero-power terminals have different values, the received rising edges and the received falling edges cancel each other, so that the carrier signal is uninterrupted in the whole bit length, and the network equipment can judge the specific position where the collision occurs by utilizing the error because the state is not allowed.

(3) Unipolar return-to-zero coding

The high level in the first half of the bit period of the unipolar return-to-zero code represents a binary "1", while the low level signal lasting the entire bit period represents a binary "0", as shown in fig. 8. Unipolar zeroing codes may be used to extract the bit sync signal.

(4) Differential biphase coding

The arbitrary edges in the half bit period of the differential bi-phase code represent binary "0" and the no edges are binary "1", as shown in fig. 9. In addition, at the beginning of each bit period, the level is inverted. Thus, the bit beat is relatively easy to reconstruct for the receiving end.

(5) Miller (Miller) code

Any edge of the miller code within a half bit period represents a binary "1", while a constant level through the next bit period represents a binary "0". The bit period starts with a level change as shown in fig. 10. Thus, the bit beat is relatively easy to reconstruct for the receiver.

(6) Differential encoding

In differential encoding, each binary "1" to be transmitted causes a change in the signal level, while for a binary "0", the signal level remains unchanged.

Classification of zero power consumption terminals

Zero power consumption terminals can be classified into the following types based on their energy sources and usage patterns:

(1) Passive zero-power consumption terminal

The zero-power-consumption terminal does not need to be provided with a battery, and when the zero-power-consumption terminal approaches to the network equipment, the zero-power-consumption terminal is in a near field range formed by the radiation of the antenna of the network equipment, so that the antenna of the zero-power-consumption terminal generates induction current through electromagnetic induction, and the induction current drives a low-power-consumption computing module (namely a low-power-consumption chip circuit) of the zero-power-consumption terminal to work, so that the work of demodulating a forward link signal, modulating a signal of a backward link and the like is realized. For the backscatter link, the zero power terminals use a backscatter implementation for signal transmission.

It can be seen that the passive zero-power terminal is a true zero-power terminal, and neither the forward link nor the reverse link needs a built-in battery to drive.

Because the passive zero-power-consumption terminal does not need a battery, the radio frequency circuit and the baseband circuit of the passive zero-power-consumption terminal are very simple, for example, a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), a Power Amplifier (PA), a crystal oscillator, an ADC and the like are not needed, and therefore, the passive zero-power-consumption terminal has the advantages of small volume, light weight, low price, long service life and the like.

(2) Semi-passive zero-power consumption terminal

The semi-passive zero-power terminal itself does not have a conventional battery, but can use an energy harvesting module to harvest radio wave energy while storing the harvested energy in an energy storage unit (e.g., a capacitor). After the energy storage unit obtains energy, the low-power consumption computing module (namely a low-power consumption chip circuit) of the zero-power consumption terminal can be driven to work, so that the work of demodulation of forward link signals, signal modulation of a backward link and the like can be realized. For the backscatter link, the zero power terminals use a backscatter implementation for signal transmission.

It can be seen that the semi-passive zero-power-consumption terminal is driven by no built-in battery in both the forward link and the reverse link, and the energy is derived from the energy of the radio waves collected by the energy collection module although the energy stored by the capacitor is used in the operation, so that the semi-passive zero-power-consumption terminal is a true zero-power-consumption terminal.

The semi-passive zero-power-consumption terminal inherits many advantages of the passive zero-power-consumption terminal, so that the semi-passive zero-power-consumption terminal has many advantages of small volume, light weight, low price, long service life and the like.

(3) Active zero power consumption terminal

The zero-power consumption terminal used in some scenes can also be an active zero-power consumption terminal, and the terminal can be internally provided with a battery. The battery is used for driving a low-power consumption computing module (namely a low-power consumption chip circuit) of the zero-power consumption terminal to work, so that the demodulation of the forward link signal, the signal modulation of the backward link and the like are realized. For the backscatter link, however, the zero power terminals use a backscatter implementation for signal transmission. Thus, the zero power consumption of such terminals is mainly reflected in the fact that the signal transmission of the reverse link does not require the terminal's own power, but rather uses a back-scattering approach.

And the active zero-power consumption terminal is provided with a built-in battery for supplying power to the radio frequency chip so as to increase the communication distance and improve the communication reliability. Therefore, in some fields requiring relatively high communication distance, communication delay and the like, the method is applied.

Cellular passive internet of things

With the increase of industry application, the variety and application scene of the connector are more and more, and the price and the power consumption of the communication terminal are also more and more required. The application of the battery-free and low-cost passive internet of things equipment becomes a key technology of the cellular internet of things, the types and the number of network link terminals are enriched, and the internet of things is truly realized. The passive internet of things device can be based on a zero-power communication technology, such as a radio frequency identification (Radio Frequency Identification, RFID) technology, and extends on the basis of the zero-power communication technology, so that the passive internet of things device is suitable for the cellular internet of things.

The zero-power consumption terminal needs to collect the energy of radio waves sent by the network equipment, and can drive the terminal to work after obtaining the energy. Thus, the zero power terminals are in an "off" state, i.e. they are not able to receive signals transmitted by the network device, nor are they able to transmit signals to the network device, until power is available.

The zero-power consumption terminal has the characteristics of limited energy supply, small transmission data volume, limited processing capacity and the like, so that the communication system is required to be simple and applicable.

Fig. 11 is a first architecture diagram of a zero power consumption communication system according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 11, where the system includes at least one of the following: zero power consumption terminal, access network node, core network node, data center node and service control node; wherein,

It should be noted that the number of the above functional nodes in the zero-power communication system may be one or more. For example, the number of zero power terminals in a zero power communication system may be one or more, which is not limited in this application.

Fig. 12 is a second architecture diagram of a zero power consumption communication system according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 12, where the system includes at least one of the following: zero power consumption terminals, conventional terminals (e.g. 12 for example handsets), access network nodes. As shown in fig. 12, in case 1, the access network node may send an energy supply signal and a trigger signal to the zero-power consumption terminal, where the zero-power consumption terminal charges energy through the energy supply signal, performs communication with the access network node based on triggering of the trigger signal, and sends a reverse reflection signal to the access network node, where case 1 is applicable to a communication scenario of cellular direct connection. In case 2, the zero-power consumption terminal may be regarded as an additional module of the conventional terminal, the conventional terminal may send an energy supply signal and a trigger signal to the zero-power consumption terminal, the zero-power consumption terminal charges energy through the energy supply signal, performs communication with the conventional terminal based on triggering of the trigger signal, and sends a wake-up signal to the conventional terminal; after the conventional terminal is awakened, uu signaling sent by the access network node can be received, and data can be sent to the access network node, wherein case 2 is suitable for a communication scene of zero-power-consumption awakening. In case 3, the micro access network node (e.g. micro base station) only sends an energy supply signal to the zero power consumption terminal, the macro access network node (e.g. macro base station) only sends a trigger signal to the terminal with zero power consumption, the zero power consumption terminal charges energy through the energy supply signal, the micro access network node communicates with the macro access network node based on the trigger of the trigger signal, and a reverse reflection signal is sent to the macro access network node, and case 3 is suitable for the communication scene of the cellular direct connection of the auxiliary function.

As can be seen from fig. 12, the access network node powering the zero-power terminals and the access network node communicating with the zero-power terminals may be the same or may be different. For example, in case 1, the access network node powering the zero-power terminal is the same as the access network node communicating with the zero-power terminal; for example, in case 3, the access network node powering the zero-power terminals is different from the access network node communicating with the zero-power terminals. In order to improve the coverage range and the energy supply efficiency of energy supply, an access network node special for energy supply can be deployed (as in the case 3), and in addition, a conventional terminal can be used for energy supply for a zero-power-consumption terminal and communication with the zero-power-consumption terminal (as in the case 2).

Based on the above description, the zero-power consumption terminal can drive itself to work only after acquiring radio waves to obtain energy. Thus, the zero power terminals are in an "off" state, i.e., an off-grid state, before energy is harvested. In addition, for the zero-power consumption communication system, the network deployment may be in an island coverage mode, and the full coverage mode cannot be achieved, so that the zero-power consumption terminal is in an off-network state because of no network coverage. For zero power terminals, the power supply is limited and the network coverage is limited, so that the terminal can be frequently in an off-network state. When the zero-power consumption terminal is powered and enters the coverage area of the zero-power consumption network, if communication is required to be carried out with the network side, the temporary power supply can be insufficient due to limited power of the zero-power consumption terminal, so that the quick access network is beneficial to energy conservation of the zero-power consumption terminal and quick completion of a communication process.

For this reason, the following technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are proposed. The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application may be, but is not limited to, applied to the zero power consumption communication system shown in fig. 11 or fig. 12.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the "terminal" described in the embodiments of the present application refers to a zero power consumption terminal.

It should be noted that, the "network node" described in the embodiments of the present application may be an Access Point (AP) or a radio Access network (Radio Access Network, RAN) node. The application does not limit the type of the network node, and any node capable of realizing network access can be used as the network node of the application.

In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments. The above related technologies may be optionally combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, which all belong to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application. Embodiments of the present application include at least some of the following.

Fig. 13 is a flowchart of a method for accessing a network according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 13, where the method for accessing a network includes the following steps:

Step 1301: the method comprises the steps that a zero-power-consumption terminal obtains first configuration information, wherein the first configuration information is used for configuring at least one uplink sequence and/or at least one uplink wireless resource for the zero-power-consumption terminal.

Step 1302: the zero-power consumption terminal adopts a first uplink radio resource to transmit a first uplink sequence, wherein the first uplink radio resource is one uplink radio resource in the at least one uplink radio resource, and the first uplink sequence is one uplink sequence in the at least one uplink sequence.

In the embodiment of the application, the zero-power-consumption terminal can communicate with the network node under the condition that the zero-power-consumption terminal enters the network coverage area of the network node and the zero-power-consumption terminal obtains energy (the zero-power-consumption terminal can be understood to be in a power-on state).

In this embodiment of the present application, a zero power consumption terminal obtains first configuration information, where the first configuration information is used to configure a dedicated access resource for the zero power consumption terminal, and specifically, the first configuration information is used to configure at least one uplink sequence and/or at least one uplink radio resource for the zero power consumption terminal, where the uplink sequence and/or the uplink radio resource is used for the zero power consumption terminal to access a network. And the zero-power consumption terminal adopts the first uplink wireless resource to transmit the first uplink sequence. Here, since the first uplink radio resource and/or the first uplink sequence is an access resource dedicated for the zero-power terminal, the first uplink radio resource and/or the first uplink sequence may be used for the network node to identify the zero-power terminal, thereby implementing fast network access of the zero-power terminal.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the description about the "uplink sequence" may be replaced by "uplink signal" or "uplink signal sequence".

Specific implementation of the first configuration information is described below.

In this embodiment of the present application, the first configuration information includes at least one of the following: a sequence identifier of the first uplink sequence; a resource identifier of the first uplink radio resource; and the terminal identification of the zero-power-consumption terminal.

After the zero-power consumption terminal acquires the first configuration information, determining a first uplink sequence and/or a first uplink wireless resource special for the zero-power consumption terminal based on the first configuration information.

Here, the first configuration information configures a dedicated access resource (i.e., an uplink sequence and/or an uplink radio resource) for the zero-power terminal, and the zero-power terminal uses the one access resource to quickly access the network.

Scheme B

In this embodiment of the present application, the first configuration information includes at least one of the following: sequence identification of at least one uplink sequence; a resource identifier of at least one uplink radio resource; and the terminal identification of the zero-power-consumption terminal.

Here, the first configuration information configures at least one dedicated access resource (i.e., at least one uplink sequence and/or at least one uplink radio resource) for the zero-power terminal, and the zero-power terminal may select one of the random access resources (e.g., the first uplink sequence and/or the first uplink radio resource) to access the network quickly.

The following describes a configuration manner of the first configuration information.

Mode one

In some alternative embodiments, the first configuration information is preconfigured to the zero-power-consumption terminal. Here, the zero power consumption terminal is already configured with the first configuration information when it is in effect.

In some application scenarios, in the zero-power network system, there may be a fixed-position zero-power terminal, and because the zero-power terminal does not move, a fixed access resource (uplink sequence and/or uplink wireless resource) can be allocated to the zero-power terminal, so that the zero-power terminal can be quickly accessed into the network, the network can quickly identify the identity of the zero-power terminal, and the purpose of saving power of the zero-power terminal can be achieved. For such zero power terminals dedicated access resources may be pre-configured for them.

In this way, the first configuration information comprises a configuration of access resources, e.g. comprising a sequence identity of the first uplink sequence and/or a resource identity of the first uplink radio resource, e.g. comprising a sequence identity of the at least one uplink sequence and/or a resource identity of the at least one uplink radio resource. Further optionally, the first configuration information may further include a terminal identifier of the zero power consumption terminal.

Mode two

In some alternative embodiments, the network node sends first configuration information to the zero-power-consumption terminal, where the first configuration information is configured by the network node to the zero-power-consumption terminal through dedicated configuration information.

In this way, the first configuration information comprises a configuration of access resources, e.g. comprising a sequence identity of the first uplink sequence and/or a resource identity of the first uplink radio resource, e.g. comprising a sequence identity of the at least one uplink sequence and/or a resource identity of the at least one uplink radio resource. Further optionally, the first configuration information may further include a terminal identifier of a zero power consumption terminal, where the terminal identifier of the zero power consumption terminal is used to indicate that the configuration of the access resource is a configuration for the zero power consumption terminal.

Further optionally, the dedicated configuration information is further used to configure a first timer, and the first timer is used to control timeliness of the first configuration information.

Specifically, after the zero-power consumption terminal receives the configuration of the first timer, the first timer is started, wherein the first configuration information is valid during the running period of the first timer; and after the first timer is overtime, the zero-power consumption terminal deletes or releases the first configuration information.

Mode three

In some alternative embodiments, the network node sends first configuration information to the zero-power-consumption terminal, where the first configuration information is configured by the network node to the zero-power-consumption terminal through network system information.

In this way, the first configuration information includes a configuration of an access resource and a terminal identifier of a zero-power terminal, where the configuration of the access resource includes, for example, a sequence identifier of a first uplink sequence and/or a resource identifier of a first uplink radio resource, for example, a sequence identifier of at least one uplink sequence and/or a resource identifier of at least one uplink radio resource. The terminal identity of the zero power consumption terminal is used to indicate that the configuration of the access resource is for the configuration of the zero power consumption terminal.

Further optionally, the network system information is further configured to configure a first timer, where the first timer is used to control timeliness of the first configuration information.

In the above-described embodiment, the embodiment a may be implemented in combination with any one of the first, second, and third embodiments. Scheme B may be implemented in combination with any of the first, second, and third modes.

In some alternative embodiments, the method further comprises: the network node sends network system information to the zero-power-consumption terminal, and correspondingly, the zero-power-consumption terminal receives the network system information sent by the network node, wherein the network system information comprises second configuration information, and the second configuration information is used for at least one of the following:

configuring or generating at least one uplink sequence;

configuring at least one uplink radio resource;

configuring at least one downlink wireless resource;

the uplink wireless resource is used for sending an uplink sequence, and the downlink resource is used for receiving a response message.

As an aspect, for the above manner, the zero-power terminal may acquire the preconfigured first configuration information first, and then receive the network system information.

As an aspect, for the second mode, the zero-power terminal may first receive network system information and then obtain the first configuration information through dedicated configuration information.

As a case, for the third mode, the zero-power terminal may receive network system information, and acquire the first configuration information and the second configuration information from the network system information, and optionally, the first configuration information may be a part of the second configuration information.

In the above scheme, each uplink sequence in the at least one uplink sequence is associated with a sequence identifier.

In the above scheme, each uplink radio resource in the at least one uplink radio resource is associated with a resource identifier.

In the above scheme, each downlink radio resource in the at least one downlink radio resource is associated with a resource identifier.

In the above solution, a first correspondence is provided between the at least one uplink radio resource and the at least one downlink radio resource, where the first correspondence includes at least one of: one uplink radio resource corresponds to one downlink radio resource, and a plurality of uplink radio resources corresponds to one downlink radio resource. Here, alternatively, the first correspondence relationship may be given in the network system information.

Here, the "relationship in which one uplink radio resource corresponds to one downlink radio resource" may be understood as "one-to-one relationship". The "relationship in which a plurality of uplink radio resources corresponds to one downlink radio resource" may be understood as "a many-to-one relationship".

Optionally, the correspondence between the uplink radio resources and the downlink radio resources needs to be satisfied, where one uplink radio resource has only one downlink radio resource corresponding to the uplink radio resource, and one downlink radio resource may have one or more uplink radio resources corresponding to the downlink radio resource.

In the above-described scheme, 1 uplink radio resource and 1 downlink radio resource having a one-to-one correspondence may be referred to as one radio resource pair, in other words, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the uplink radio resource and the downlink radio resource in one radio resource pair.

In this embodiment of the present application, after the zero-power consumption terminal acquires the second configuration information, it determines its own dedicated access resource in combination with the first configuration information, so as to quickly access the network by using its own dedicated access resource, and specifically, the zero-power consumption terminal sends the first uplink sequence on the first uplink radio resource. And then, the zero-power consumption terminal receives a first response message sent by the network node.

In this embodiment of the present application, the first uplink radio resource and/or the first uplink sequence are used for a network node to identify the zero-power consumption terminal; the method further comprises the steps of:

the network node sends third configuration information to the zero-power-consumption terminal, and correspondingly, the zero-power-consumption terminal receives the third configuration information sent by the network node, wherein the third configuration information is used for configuring special transmission resources for the zero-power-consumption terminal, the special transmission resources comprise uplink transmission resources and/or downlink transmission resources, the uplink transmission resources are used for transmitting uplink data, and the downlink transmission resources are used for receiving acknowledgement messages of the uplink data.

After receiving the first uplink sequence on the first uplink radio resource, the network node can identify the identity of the zero-power-consumption terminal according to the first uplink radio resource and/or the first uplink sequence, and further configures a dedicated transmission resource for the zero-power-consumption terminal, where the dedicated transmission resource includes an uplink transmission resource and/or a downlink transmission resource, the uplink transmission resource is used for transmitting uplink data, and the downlink transmission resource is used for receiving an acknowledgement message of the uplink data.

In some optional embodiments, the third configuration information is further used to configure a second timer, and the second timer is used to control timeliness of the third configuration information.

Specifically, after the zero-power consumption terminal receives the configuration of the second timer, starting the second timer, wherein the third configuration information is valid during the running period of the second timer; and deleting or releasing the third configuration information by the zero-power consumption terminal after the second timer is overtime.

After the zero-power consumption terminal acquires the special transmission resource, uplink data is sent by adopting the uplink transmission resource, downlink data is received by adopting the downlink transmission resource, and optionally, the downlink data is an acknowledgement message of the uplink data.

In a zero-power consumption communication system, a transmission delay is provided between a zero-power consumption terminal and a network node, and in order to compensate for the problem of data arrival delay caused by the transmission delay, a Timing Advance (TA) can be introduced. Specifically, the zero power consumption terminal determines a first TA, and sends uplink data to the network node based on the first TA.

Considering that the zero-power consumption terminal is in a very simple communication mode, the TA is not easy to acquire and maintain. The zero power consumption terminal needs to determine the first TA in a simple way. This will be described in the following description of the present invention,

option 1) in some optional embodiments, the network node sends fourth configuration information to the zero-power terminal, and correspondingly, the zero-power terminal receives fourth configuration information sent by the network node, where the fourth configuration information is used to configure a TA corresponding to each cell in at least one cell, or is used to configure a TA corresponding to each terminal in at least one terminal; and the zero-power-consumption terminal determines the first TA from the TA configured by the fourth configuration information based on the cell accessed by the zero-power-consumption terminal and/or the terminal identifier of the zero-power-consumption terminal.

Here, optionally, the fourth configuration information is carried in a network system message.

Option 2) in some optional embodiments, the network node sends fifth configuration information to the zero-power terminal, and correspondingly, the zero-power terminal receives fifth configuration information sent by the network node, where the fifth configuration information is used to configure a correspondence between at least one set of signal quality ranges and TAs; and the zero-power consumption terminal determines that the measured signal quality belongs to a first signal quality range based on the fifth configuration information, and determines a first TA corresponding to the first signal quality range.

Here, optionally, the fifth configuration information is carried in a network system message.

In some optional embodiments, the signal quality may be measured by the zero-power consumption terminal on the synchronization signal sent by the network node, where the signal quality optionally includes at least one of the following: received power, signal-to-interference ratio, signal-to-noise ratio. Here, the synchronization signal is used for synchronization with the network side by the zero power consumption terminal.

As an example: the fifth configuration information is used to configure the correspondence shown in table 1 below. The zero power consumption terminal transmits uplink data using TA2 based on the measured signal quality belonging to the signal quality range 2.

Signal quality range 1	TA1
Signal quality range 2	TA2

When the zero-power consumption terminal takes effect, the zero-power consumption terminal is preconfigured with a first uplink sequence and/or a first uplink wireless resource, and the first uplink wireless resource is used for transmitting the first uplink sequence.

And the zero-power-consumption terminal receives the network system information sent by the network node under the condition that the zero-power-consumption terminal enters the coverage area of the zero-power-consumption network and obtains energy. Wherein the network system information includes second configuration information for at least one of: configuring or generating at least one uplink sequence; configuring at least one uplink radio resource; at least one downlink radio resource is configured.

Here, each of the at least one uplink sequence is associated with a sequence identity. A sequence identity is used to uniquely identify an upstream sequence.

Here, each of the at least one downlink radio resource is associated with a resource identifier. The downlink resource is used for receiving a response message.

The zero-power consumption terminal sends a first uplink sequence on a first uplink wireless resource, the network node can quickly identify the zero-power consumption terminal according to the first uplink wireless resource and/or the first uplink sequence, and then a special transmission resource is allocated to the zero-power consumption terminal, wherein the special transmission resource comprises an uplink transmission resource and/or a downlink transmission resource.

Application instance two

Further, the zero-power-consumption terminal receives first configuration information sent by the network node through special configuration information, wherein the first configuration information comprises a sequence identifier of a first uplink sequence and a terminal identifier of the zero-power-consumption terminal, and the first uplink sequence is an uplink sequence special for the zero-power-consumption terminal identified by the terminal identifier. Further, optionally, the network node may further configure a timer for controlling the timeliness of the sequence identification of the first uplink sequence. Specifically, after the zero-power consumption terminal receives the configuration of the timer, the timer is started, and if the timer is overtime, the zero-power consumption terminal automatically deletes or releases the sequence identifier of the first uplink sequence.

Application example three

And the zero-power-consumption terminal receives the network system information sent by the network node under the condition that the zero-power-consumption terminal enters the coverage area of the zero-power-consumption network and obtains energy. Wherein the network system information includes second configuration information for at least one of: configuring or generating at least one uplink sequence; configuring at least one uplink radio resource; at least one downlink radio resource is configured. Meanwhile, the network system information further comprises first configuration information, wherein the first configuration information comprises a sequence identifier of a first uplink sequence and a terminal identifier of a zero-power-consumption terminal, and the first uplink sequence is an uplink sequence special for the zero-power-consumption terminal identified by the terminal identifier.

Specifically, after the zero-power consumption terminal receives the configuration of the timer, the timer is started, and if the timer is overtime, the zero-power consumption terminal automatically deletes or releases the sequence identifier of the first uplink sequence.

The method comprises the steps that a zero-power-consumption terminal sends a first uplink sequence on a first uplink wireless resource, a network node can quickly identify the zero-power-consumption terminal according to the first uplink wireless resource and/or the first uplink sequence, then a special transmission resource is allocated to the zero-power-consumption terminal, a first response message is sent to the zero-power-consumption terminal, the first response message carries configuration information of the special transmission resource, and the special transmission resource comprises an uplink transmission resource and/or a downlink transmission resource. Here, if the first uplink radio resource has a corresponding downlink radio resource, the zero power consumption terminal may receive the first response message on the downlink radio resource corresponding to the first uplink radio resource.

Application example four

In a zero power consumption system, to compensate for the data arrival delay caused by the transmission delay, TA may be introduced, or a Cyclic Prefix (CP) or guard band (guard band) may be reserved to be large enough. For the mode of reserving the CP or the guard band, the complexity of detecting the data at the network side needs to be increased, and the spectrum efficiency is lower. Regarding the TA mode, considering that the zero power consumption terminal is a very simple communication mode, the TA is not easy to acquire and maintain. TA acquisition can be achieved in a simple manner. For example:

Option 1: configuring per Cell TA or per UE TA in the network system message. Here, the per Cell TA refers to a TA with a Cell granularity, and the network system message includes a TA corresponding to each Cell in at least one Cell. The per UE TA refers to a UE independence TA, and the network system message includes a TA corresponding to each terminal in at least one terminal. The zero power consumption terminal may determine the TA to use based on its own terminal identity and/or the cell to access.

Option 2: at least one set of mapping relation between signal quality range and TA is configured in the network system message. And the zero-power consumption terminal determines the used TA according to the signal quality range to which the measured signal quality belongs.

The technical scheme of the embodiment of the application provides a method for rapidly accessing the network by the zero-power-consumption terminal, and the zero-power-consumption communication process is completed as soon as possible. Because of the fast access to the network, the network rapidly recognizes the terminal identity, thereby achieving the purpose of saving power for the zero-power consumption terminal.
