Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to wireless network communication, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for timing advance in a base station and a user terminal in a wireless network for carrier aggregation [Prior Art] In the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, in order to ensure orthogonality between different user terminals (UEs) that transmit uplink data at the same time, signals of multiple user terminals need to be synchronized at the base station. The receiving, that is, the signal of each user terminal needs to arrive at the base station at the same time. The specific implementation is to ensure that the time error of the data of different user terminals transmitted in the same uplink sub-frame arrives at the base station within the range of the ring prefix (CP). Since the distances of the user terminals from the base station are different, the transmission time of each user terminal needs to be adjusted, the user terminal with a large channel transmission delay is sent earlier, and the user terminal with a small channel transmission delay is sent later. This operation is called Timing Alignment. Specifically, the base station sends an uplink timing advance (TA) to each user terminal, and the user terminal determines the start time of transmitting the subsequent uplink sub-box according to the received TA. In the LTE system, the user terminal is configured with only one carrier resource of no more than 20 ,, and the resources used by all user terminals of the system or the scheduled resources are limited to only one carrier of the LTE system. In LTE-Advanced, carrier aggregation is supported, including continuous carrier aggregation and non-contiguous carrier-in-band and inter-band aggregation -5 - 201208426 aggregation, and the maximum energy aggregation bandwidth is up to 100 MHZ. Therefore, the resource used by the user terminal or the scheduled resource can be distributed over 1 to 5 component carriers, for a user terminal to be configured with 1 to 5 component carriers. This increases data transmission bandwidth and scheduling flexibility, but lacks an improved timing advancement scheme for the user terminal side of the carrier aggregation feature of the LTE-A system. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Under the carrier aggregation conditions of the LTE-A system, the transmission of the user terminal is scheduled through one or more component carriers, because the transmission delays of different uplink component carriers may be different, thus causing the same user The uplink sub-frame sent by the terminal in the case of carrier aggregation may not be able to reach the base station synchronously. For the technical problem, the present invention proposes timing implementation in the base station and the user terminal in the wireless network in the application case applicable to carrier aggregation.

At the same time, four downlink component carriers are configured on the downlink channel of the communication system: CCD1, CCD2, CCD3, and CCD4, wherein the downlink component carriers that are in the startup state at the initial stage of the system operation are: CCD1, CCD2, and CCD3. The downlink primary component carrier (DL Primary CC) is configured as: CCD3. The bandwidth of the above component carriers may vary according to the application, and the size of each carrier does not exceed 20 各自. In one embodiment, since the activated component carriers are located on different frequency bands or on discontinuous frequencies with large frequency offsets, or because some frequencies are forwarded through the repeater, others are at the base station and the user terminal. Direct transmission between these causes a large difference in transmission delay between the downlink component carriers CCD1, CCD2, and CCD3. For example, the difference between the transmission delays of the downlink component carriers CCD1, CCD2 is greater than a predetermined threshold, such as the ring code CP. At this time, first, the base station 12 performs step S301: determining timing advance information based on the determined downlink reference component carrier of the base station 12. Here, the downlink primary component carrier CCD3 is configured as a downlink reference component carrier by default when the system is started, and the determination information of the downlink reference component carrier C CD 3 is explicitly notified to the user terminal 1 1 in the form of indication signaling. Implicitly notifying the user terminal 1 1 : in the case of reconnection, transmitting a PRACH response message on the CCD 3 to cause the user terminal 11 to confirm the CCD 3 as its downlink reference component carrier, or in the configuration of functions such as NAS information transmission The user terminal 11 is implicitly notified to confirm the CCD 3 as its downlink reference component carrier. The base station 12 can specifically calculate the uplink transmission signal of the user terminal 11, such as the PRACH signal or the -11 - 201208426 uplink reference signal, etc., the reception time at the base station 12 side and the determined downlink reference component carrier CCD3 of the base station 12. The timing advance information corresponding to the timing advance 値TA. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing predetermined reference means that when the base station 12 and the user terminal 11 respectively select CCD1 and CCD2 as their downlink reference component carriers, it is sufficient that the data sent by the end user 11 is outside the range of the ring prefix. The difference between the transmission delays of the downlink component carriers CCD1, CCD2, and the specific number thereof do not constitute a limitation of the present invention. Next, the base station 2 performs step S3 02 to transmit the timing advance indication signaling TA_Signalling through the downlink component carrier CCD2, and the timing advance indication signaling includes the timing advance information determined by the base station 12 in step S301. On the user terminal 11 side, at the initial stage of system operation, it is learned from the base station 12 that the downlink primary component carrier (DL Primary CC) is configured as: CCD3. Here, the downlink reference component carrier corresponding to the base station 12 is determined as the downlink primary component carrier CCD3, and the user terminal 11 determines the downlink component carrier CCD3 as the downlink reference component carrier of the user terminal. First, the user terminal 11 performs step S201. The timing advance indication signaling TA_Signalling is received through the downlink component carrier CCD2, and the timing advance indication signaling TA_Signalling includes timing advance information corresponding to the timing advance 値TA from the base station I2. Then, the user terminal 11 executes step S202 to update the timing advance 値TA' maintained for the uplink component carriers CCU1, CCU2, CCU3 based on the timing advance information and start/restart the timer timer. If the timer timer -12-201208426 does not receive the timing advance indication signaling and is restarted before the timeout, the user terminal 11 performs random access to obtain the timing advance 値TA from the base station 12. Next, the user terminal 1 1 performs step S203, and determines the uplink transmission time of the user terminal based on the determined downlink reference component carrier CCD3 and the updated timing advance 値TA. It is assumed that the time when the user terminal 11 receives the downlink reference signal on the downlink reference component carrier CCD3 is TP1, and the user terminal 11 advances 値TA according to the updated timing, according to the configuration of the system's effective time for the TA値, which will be subsequently corresponding. The time for sending data on the uplink sub-frame is determined as TP1+Zt-2TA, where zM is the effective time of the TA configured by the system, and the number of the data is different depending on the system configuration. For example, the uplink sub-frame can be sent twice. The length of time between data. The above adjustment of the transmission time point offsets the transmission delay caused by the downlink component carrier CCD3 and the transmission delay of all the activated uplink component carriers with a certain compensation strategy. The user terminal 11 transmits the data of the uplink sub-frame at the above-mentioned time point TP1+"t-2TA', for example, transmits DATA1 on CCU1 and DATA2 on CCU2 at the same time, because the channel condition of all the uplink component carriers of the system is very Proximity, therefore, DATA1 and DATA2 described above can be synchronously received by base station 12. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that, here, twice the timing advance 値TA値 or other numbers are used to compensate the uplink transmission time point of TP 1 + Z t in advance, which is not enough to limit the present invention, and the user terminal 1 1 The purpose of adjusting the uplink transmission time point by the compensation is only to ensure that the uplink data sent by the user terminal 11 in the carrier aggregation situation in this embodiment arrives at the base station 1 synchronously within the corresponding ring prefix range of the subsequent sub-frame of the system. 2, so-13-201208426, here, the specific compensation strategy or adjustment strategy of the user terminal 11 for the uplink transmission time point does not constitute a limitation of the present invention. Meanwhile, those skilled in the art should understand that the reference signal can be transmitted on each activated component carrier; and the downlink reference component carrier herein refers to the component carrier in which the base station 12 calculates the timing advance 値TA based on the reference signal. Or the user component Π according to the configuration of the system's effective time for the TA値, the component carrier on which the reference signal based on the transmission time of the uplink data of the subsequent sub-frame is determined. Those skilled in the art should understand that FIG. 2 Steps S201, S2 02, and S203 have no strict logical sequence relationship, that is, under certain system operation conditions, the three may occur in sequence according to the timing shown in FIG. 2, but in other operations. In this case, steps S201, S202 may occur sequentially, and step S203 may occur relatively independently at any time when the timer timer has not timed out. Optionally, in the above embodiment, if the timer timer is not exceeded Before the time, if the uplink component carrier CCU4 transitions from the inactive state to the startup state, the uplink component carrier CCU4 will be started with the other components. Uplink component carrier state CCU1, CCU2, CCU3 common timing advance and timer TIMER Zhi TA. According to the embodiment of the present invention described above, optionally, when the base station 12 changes the downlink primary component carrier CCD3 from the activated state to the unactivated state, the CCD 2 is changed from the unactivated state to the activated state as a new downlink primary component. Carrier, and the above change process triggers the reconnection process of the user terminal 11, and the user terminal 触发 will trigger a random access procedure according to the system

And transmitting the TA signaling including the information to the user terminal 1 1. The user terminal 11 obtains information about the new downlink primary component carrier (CCD2) from the base station 12, and according to the default configuration of the system, the following main component carrier After the CCD 2 is determined as the new downlink reference component carrier, step S203 is performed, and the timing advancement 値TA is updated in conjunction with the new timing advance information from the base station 12 to determine the time point at which the uplink data is transmitted through the uplink component carrier. Similarly, the specific calculation method of the timing advance information corresponding to the timing advance 値TA by the base station 12 and the specific calculation method of the transmission time point of the uplink data of the subsequent sub-frame of the user terminal 1 do not constitute the present invention. limit. According to the embodiment of the present invention described above, optionally, when the base station 12 changes the downlink primary component carrier CCD3 from the activated state to the unactivated state, the CCD 2 is changed from the unactivated state to the activated state as the new downlink primary component carrier. 'And' the above change process does not trigger the reconnection process of the user terminal 11 'determine the downlink primary component carrier as the downlink reference component carrier according to the default configuration of the system', then the base station 12 is based on the new downlink reference component carrier, ie, the downlink The main component carrier CCD2, in conjunction with the receiving time of the uplink transmission of the user terminal 11, performs step S301 to determine new timing advance information corresponding to the timing advance 値TA, and sends the TA indication signaling including the timing advance information.
