Description

多载波聚合系统中的上行传输方法和设备 本申请要求在 2011年 3月 31 日提交中国专利局、 申请号为 201110080379.3、 发明名称 为"多载波聚合系统中的上行传输方法和设备"的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用 结合在本申请中。 技术领域
本发明涉及无线通信领域, 尤其涉及一种多载波聚合系统中的上行传输 方法和设备。 背景技术
LTE-A ( LTE Advanced, 长期演进升级 ) 系统的峰值速率比 LTE (长期演 进) 系统有很大的提高, 要求达到下行 IGbps, 上行 500Mbps。 同时, LTE-A 系统要求和 LTE系统有很好的兼容性。 基于提高峰值速率、 与 LTE系统兼容 以及充分利用频语资源的需要, LTE-A系统引入了 CA ( Carrier Aggregation, 载波聚合)技术。
载波聚合技术是指在 UE ( User Equipment, 用户设备)可以同时聚合多 个 cell (小区), 多个 cell可以同时为 UE提供数据传输服务的机制。 在载波 聚合的系统中各个 cell对应的载波在频域可以是连续或非连续的,为了和 LTE 系统兼容, 每个成员载波的最大带宽为 20MHz, 各成员载波间的带宽可以相 同或不同。
载波聚合下, 终端工作的小区分为一个 PCell ( Primary Cell, 主小区)和 若干个 SCell ( Secondary Cell, 辅小区), 主小区承担了大部分控制信令传输 工作, 如发送对下行数据的上行反馈信息、 CQI ( Channel Quality Indicator, 信道质量指示)上报、 上行导频传输等, 辅小区主要是作为资源, 承担数据 传输的功能。
LTE系统中的随机接入分为非竟争随机接入和竟争随机接入两种。 非竟争随机接入的过程如图 1所 2示, 主要分为以下三步:
消息 0 ( MsgO ) : 基站向 UE 分配用于非竟争随机接入的专用 ra-Preamblelndex ( Random Access Preamble Index, 随机接入前导码的标识 )以 及随机接入使用的 PRACH ( Physical Random Access Channel, 物理随机接入 信道) 的 ra-PRACH-Masklndex (掩码编号); 对于下行数据到达引起的非竟 争随机接入使用 PDCCH ( Physical Downlink Control Channel, 物理下行控制 信道) 携带这些信息, 对于切换引起的非竟争随机接入通过 RRC ( Radio Resource Control, 无线资源控制)信令携带这些信息。
消息 1 ( Msgl ): UE 根据 MsgO 指示的 ra-Preamblelndex 和 ra-PRACH-Masklndex , 在指定的 PRACH 资源上向基站发送指定的专用 preamble。 基站接收到 Msgl后根据 Msgl计算上行 TA ( Time Alignment, 定 时提前量)。
消息 2 ( Msg2 ): 基站向 UE发送随机接入响应, 随机接入响应中包含 TA 信息和为后续上行传输分配资源的 UL grant (上行调度信令), TA用于 UE后 续确定上行传输的定时关系。 使用 RA-RNTI ( Random Access Channel Radio Network Temporary Identity, 随机接入无线网络临时标识)加扰承载 Msg2的 PDCCH, RA-RNTI在 10ms窗内与发送 Msgl的时频资源唯一对应;另外 Msg2 中还携带 preamble ID (前导码标识), UE通过 RA-RNTI和 preamble ID确定 该 Msg2是与其发送的 Msgl对应的消息。
竟争随机接入的过程如图 2所示, 主要分为四步:
Msgl: UE选择随机接入 reamble和 PRACH资源并利用该 PRACH资 源向基站发送所选的随机接入 reamble;
Msg2: 基站接收到 reamble, 计算 TA, 并向 UE发送随机接入响应, 随机接入响应中至少包含该 TA信息和针对 Msg3的 UL grant;
Msg3: UE在 Msg2中的 UL grant指定的资源上发送上行传输, 不同随机 接入原因 Msg3上行传输的内容不同,比如对于初始接入, Msg3传输的是 RRC 连接建立请求; Msg4: 基站向 UE发送竟争解决 3消息, UE根据 Msg4可以判断随机接入 是否成功。
无论是竟争随机接入还是非竟争随机接入, Msgl的发送时刻都需要参考 某个小区的下行无线帧起点, 如图 3所示, 终端确定某个小区的下行无线帧 i 的起点之后,将以该起点为参考,对 Msgl发送时刻按照定时提前量做一定调 整, Msgl 的定时提前调整量为 ^TA + ^A ^J X^: , 其中: TA为前一次进行定 时调整使用的定时提前调整量, 对于随机接入的 MSgl , 取值为 0;
为一个偏移量, 与双工机制相关, 对于 FDD ( Frequency Division Duplex, 频 分双工), ΤΑ = 0, 对于时分双工 (TDD ), NTA fte = 624
对于版本 10 ( R10 ), 由于不支持 multi-TA (多 TA ), 因此随机接入只需 要在 PCell上发起, 因此终端上行定时提前量获取是以 PCell的下行载波作为 定时参考的。
由于多载波聚合的引入, 如果工作在不同载波上的小区频率特性和收发 机距离相差较大, 对不同的载波可能出现不同的上行定时提前量。
目前, 3GPP ( Third Generation Partnership Project, 第三代移动通信标准 化组织) 定义了两种支持 multi-TA的场景:
场景 1 : 引入了 RRH ( remote radio head, 拉远天线 ) 的场景, 如图 4所 示。
比如: F1提供大范围覆盖, F2使用 RRH进行 Fl cell内的热点覆盖, 移 动性管理基于 F1进行。 该场景下如果 UE位于 F2的 RRH cell和 Fl cell相重 叠的区域, Fl cell和 F2 cell可以聚合, 但是 Fl cell和 F2 cell的上行 TA ( UL TA ) 不同。
场景 2: 引入 repeater (直放站) 的场景, 如图 5所示。
比如: 基站支持 F1和 F2, F1提供大范围覆盖, F2覆盖范围较小, 通过 频率选择性 repeater,可以扩展 F2的覆盖范围,该场景下如果 UE位于 Fl cell 和 F2 cell相重叠的区域, Fl cell和 F2 cell可以聚合, 但是 Fl cell和 F2 cell 的 UL TA不同。 4
为了便于对 Multi-TA系统的 TA进行维护引入了 TA group ( TA组) 的 4既念, 归属于同一个 TA grou 的 cell的 UL CC ( Uplink Component Carrier, 上行成员载波)可以使用相同的 TA值,归属于不同 TA group的 cell的 UL CC 的 TA不相同。 在一个 TA group内, UE只需要与其中一个小区保持上行同步 就实现了对 TA group内所有小区的上行同步。
在实现本发明的过程中, 发明人发现现有技术中存在以下技术问题: 当前 R10规范中, 只支持一个 TA, 上行定时提前量的定时参考下行载波 为 PCell的下行载波。随着多 TA场景的引入, PCell的定时提前量和其他 SCell 的定时提前量可能不一样,因此需要考虑当新增一个 SCell时,如何在该 SCell 进行上行传输的问题。 发明内容

为了解决在多载波聚合系统中基站为终端增加配置辅小区时, 如何在该 辅小区进行上行传输的问题, 本发明实施例提供一种多载波聚合系统中的上 行传输方法。
参见图 6,本发明实施例提供的多载波聚合系统中的上行传输方法, 包括 以下步骤:
步骤 60: 终端在基站为本终端增加配置辅小区后, 根据预先设定的参考 载波选取规则, 从已与基站建立下行同步的小区对应的下行载波中选取一个 载波作为该辅小区使用的定时参考 行载波; 这里, 定时参考下行载波是指 在确定上行传输的数据发送时刻所使用的下行载波;
步骤 61 : 终端根据上述定时参考下行载波的下行定时, 在辅小区进行上 行传输。
步骤 60中, 终端根据预先设定的参考载波选取规则, 从已与基站建立下 行同步的小区对应的下行载波中选取一个载波作为该辅小区使用的定时参考 下行载波, 其具体实现可以釆用如下七种方式:
第一,终端选取在自身所属的 TA组内并已与基站建立上行同步的小区使 用的定时参考下行载波, 作为辅小区使用的定时参考下行载波;
第二, 终端选取主小区对应的下行载波, 作为辅小区使用的定时参考下 行载波;
第三,终端选取自身所属的 TA组内最近一次成功发起随机接入的小区对 应的下行成员载波, 作为辅小区使用的定时参考下行载波;
第四,终端选取自身所属的 TA组内激活的且编号最小的小区对应的下行 成员载波, 作为辅小区使用的定时参考下行载波;
第五, 终端选取辅小区对应的下行载波, 作为辅小区使用的定时参考下 行载波;
第六,终端选取不在自身所属的 TA组内并已与基站建立上行同步的小区 对应的下行载波, 作为辅小区使用的定时参考下行载波; 例如, 选取基站发 送触发终端进行随机接入的 PDCCH命令所使用的下行载波,作为辅小区使用 的定时参考下行载波;
第七, 终端选取基站预先配置的小区对应的下行载波, 作为辅小区使用 的定时参考下行载波。 这里, 基站可以通过(RRC )信令预先配置可以作为 定时参考下行载波的下行载波或该下行载波对应的小区。
步骤 61的具体实现可以如下:
首先, 终端确定在辅小区进行上行传输所使用的上行 TA;
然后, 终端以定时参考下行载波的下行定时为基础, 按照确定的上行 TA 在辅小区进行上行传输。 具体的, 确 7定在定时参考下行载波的某个下行子帧 接收到下行数据的时刻 to, 并按照如下公式确定在辅小区进行上行传输的数 据发送时刻 t: t=to-定时提前调整量, 定时提前调整量=终端在辅小区进行上 行传输所使用的上行 TA +前一次进行上行传输的定时提前调整量 tl , tl的初 始值为 WTAffset *Ts, WTAffset为一个偏移量, 和双工机制相关, 对于 FDD, offset = 0, 对于 TDD, NTA offset = 624 ; 然后, 在确定的时刻 t向基站发送上 行数据。
下面举例说明终端确定在辅小区进行上行传输所使用的上行 TA 的实现 方法:
例 1 , 在定时参考下行载波为在终端所属的 TA组内并与基站建立上行同 步的小区使用的定时参考下行载波, 或者, 为终端选取自身所属的定时提前 量 TA组内最近一次成功发起随机接入的小区对应的下行成员载波时,上述终 终端确定已与基站建立上行同步的小区使用的上行 TA, 并将该上行 TA 确定为在辅小区进行上行传输所使用的上行 TA。
例 2, 在定时参考下行载波为主小区对应的下行载波、或辅小区对应的下 行载波、或不在终端所属的 TA组内并已与基站建立上行同步的小区对应的下 行载波、 或基站预先配置的小区对应的下行载波时, 上述终端确定在辅小区 首先,终端在接收到基站发送的触发本终端进行随机接入的 PDCCH命令 后, 根据定时参考下行载波的下行定时, 确定向基站发送随机接入前导码的 发送时刻, 并在该发送时刻向基站发送随机接入前导码; 这里, 可以按照如 下公式确定向基站发送随机接入前导码的发送时刻 t:
t=tO- ^TA offset *Ts, 其中, t0 是在定时参考下行载波的某个下行子帧接收 到下行数据的时刻, WTAffset为一个偏移量, 和双工机制相关, 对于 FDD,
^TA offset = 0, 对于 TDD, ^TA offset = 624 ; 然后, 终端在接收到基站发送的 ¾带 TA的随机接入响应后, 将随机接入 响应携带的 TA确定为在辅小区进行上行传输所使用的上行 TA。
例 3 , 在定时参考下行载波为主小区对应的下行载波、 或不在终端所属的 TA组内的、 已与基站建立上行同步的小区对应的下行载波、 或基站预先配置 的小区对应的下行载波时, 终端可以按照如下公式确定在辅小区进行上行传 输所使用的上行 TA:
上行 TA=定时参考下行载波对应的小区使用的上行 TA+辅小区使用的下 行 TA与定时参考下行载波对应的小区使用的下行 TA的差值。
下面对本发明进行具体说明:
本发明的核心思想即当基站为终端新增 SCell时, 需要为新增 SCell上行 定时提前量获取和使用确定唯——个定时参考下行载波, 具体方式如下: 如果新增 SCell所属的 TA组内已经有小区建立了上行同步,则新增 SCell 和该 TA组内已经建立上行同步的小区使用相同的定时参考下行载波。
如果新增 SCell所属的 TA组内任何一个小区都没有建立上行同步, 那么 可以确定如下下行载波中的一个作为新增 Scell的定时参考下行载波:
PCell对应的下行载波;
新增 SCell对应的下行载波;
当前已经建立上行同步的某个小区对应的下行载波, 比如 PDCCH order 发送的载波;
基站通过 RRC信令配置的某个小区的下行载波;
本发明的实施例如下:
前提:基站和终端都支持的载波有三个,编号为别为 Cell— 1 , Cell— 2, Cell— 3 和 Cell— 4。 其中 Cell— 1、 Cell— 2、 Cell— 3均不能使用相同的上行定时提前量, 但是 Cell— 1和 Cell— 4可以使用相同的上行定时提前量。
实施例一: 新增 SCell和该 TA组内已经建立上行同步的小区使用相同的 定时参考下行载波;
步骤 1: 终端在 PCell上建立 RRC连接; 终端在 Cell— 1 上通过随机接入 έ程建立和基站的 RRC连接, 则 Cell— 1 可以作为 PCell。该随机接入过程中, Msgl使用的定时参考下行载波为 Cell— 1 的下行载波;
步骤 2: 基站进行 SCell添加;
由于终端数据量增加, 基站需要为终端增加配置小区, SCell添加可以使 用 RRC重配过程。 叚设增加的小区编号为 Cell— 4。
步骤 3: 新增 Scell的上行定时提前量获取;
由于 Cell— 4和 Cell— 1属于同一个 TA组, 因此可以确定 Cell— 4可以使用 和 Cell— 1相同的上行定时提前量和定时参考下行载波。
步骤 4: 在新增 SCell上进行上行数据传输;
终端以步骤 3中确定的定时参考下行载波的下行定时为基础,按照步骤 3 确定的上行定时提前量进行后续上行数据传输。
实施例二: 新增 SCell和该 TA组内最后一次成功发起随机接入的小区使 用相同的定时参考载波
步骤 1 : 终端进行载波聚合
假设终端聚合了 2个 TA组, 一个是包含 Pcell的 pTAG, 另一个是包含 Cell— 1的 sTAG , 且这两个 TA组都已经建立上行同步。
步骤 2: 基站进行 SCell添加;
由于终端数据量增加, 基站需要为终端增加配置小区, SCell添加可以使 用 RRC重配过程。假设增加的小区编号为 Cell— 4,和 Cell— 1属于一个 TA组。
步骤 3: 新增 Scell的上行定时提前量获取;
由于 Cell— 4和 Cell— 1属于同一个 TA组, 且 Cell— 1是该 TA组内最后一 次成功发起随机接入的小区, 因此可以确定 Cell— 4可以使用和 Cell— 1相同的 上行定时提前量和定时参考下行载波。
步骤 4: 在新增 SCell上进行上行数据传输;
终端以步骤 3中确定的定时参考下行载波的下行定时为基础,按照步骤 3 确定的上行定时提前量进行后续上行数据传输。 步骤 5: 变更随机接入小区;
如果基站触发该 TA组内 Cell— 4发起随机接入并且成功,那么该 TA组内 所有小区的定时参考下行载波变更为 Cell— 4, 该 TA组内再有新 SCell添加, 且 SCell添加之前该 TA组内没有新的 RA发生, 那么也可以使用 Cell— 4对应 的下行成员载波作为其定时参考载波。
实施例三: 新增 SCell使用该 TA组内激活的且编号最小或者最大的 cell 的下行载波作为其上行传输的下行定时参考载波
步骤 1 : 终端进行载波聚合
假设终端聚合了 2个 TA组, 一个是包含 Pcell的 pTAG, 另一个是包含 Cell— 1的 sTAG , 且这两个 TA组都已经建立上行同步。
步骤 2: 基站进行 SCell添加;
由于终端数据量增加, 基站需要为终端增加配置小区, SCell添加可以使 用 RRC重配过程。假设增加的小区编号为 Cell— 4,和 Cell— 1属于一个 TA组。
步骤 3: 新增 Scell的上行定时提前量获取;
由于 Cell— 4和 Cell— 1属于同一个 TA组, 且 Cell— 1是该 TA组内激活的 且编号最小的 cell, 因此可以确定 Cell— 4可以使用和 Cell— 1相同的上行定时 提前量和定时参考下行载波。 当然如果按照激活的且编号最大的原则选取 TA 组的定时参考载波, 那么应该选择 Cell— 4对应的下行载波。
步骤 4: 在新增 SCell上进行上行数据传输;
终端以步骤 3中确定的定时参考下行载波的下行定时为基础,按照步骤 3 确定的上行定时提前量进行后续上行数据传输。
实施例四: 以 PCell的下行载波作为定时参考下行载波;
步骤 1: 终端在 PCell上建立 RRC连接;
终端在 Cell— 1 上通过随机接入过程建立和基站的 RRC连接, 则 Cell— 1 可以作为 PCell。该随机接入过程中, Msgl使用的定时参考下行载波为 Cell— 1 的下行载波;
步骤 2: 基站进行 SCell添加; 由于终端数据量增加, 基站需 为终端增加配置小区, SCell添加可以使 用 RRC重配过程。 假设增加的小区编号为 Cell— 2。
步骤 3: 新增 Scell的上行定时提前量获取;
由于 Cell— 2和 Cell— 1的上行定时提前量不同, 因此需要获取 Cell— 2上的 定时提前量。 获取 Cell— 2上的上行定时提前量的一种方法就是通过在 Cell— 2 上进行随机接入。基站可以在 Cell— 1上发送 PDCCH order以触发终端在 Cell— 2 上进行随机接入, 此时需要确定 Msgl上行传输使用的定时参考下行载波, 可 以使用 Cell— 1(即 PCell)的下行载波作为定时参考下行载波, 如图 7A所示。
终端在 Cell— 2上发送 Msgl后,基站接收到 preamble,基站根据自身的期 望的接收时刻和实际接收时刻的差值确定 Cell— 2上的上行定时提前量。
步骤 4: 将新增 SCell上的上行定时提前量通知给终端;
基站将步骤 3中获得的 Cell— 2上的定时提前量通过 Msg2发送给终端, 设终端在子帧 n接收到该定时提前量,则终端在子帧 n+k,根据该定时提前量, 对 Msgl使用的上行定时提前量做修正, 并以 PCell的 DL定时为基础, 按照 修正后的定时提前量进行上行发送。 一般 k=6。
步骤 5:后续新增 Scell所属的 TA组内的所有载波使用 PCell的下行载波 作为定时参考下行载波。
实施例五: 以新增 SCell对应的下行载波作为定时参考下行载波; 步骤 1: PCell上 RRC连接建立;
基站在 Cell— 1上通过随机接入过程建立和基站的 RRC连接, 则设 Cell— 1 为 PCell。 该随机接入过程中, Msgl使用的定时参考下行载波为 Cell— 1的下 行载波;
步骤 2: 基站进行 SCell添加;
由于终端数据量增加, 基站需要为终端增加配置小区, SCell添加可以使 用 RRC重配过程。 假设增加的小区编号为 Cell— 2。
步骤 3: 新增 Scell的上行定时提前量获取;
由于 Cell— 2和 Cell— 1的上行定时提前量不同, 因此需要获取 Cell— 2上的 定时提前量。 获取 Cell— 2上的上行 ¾时提前量的一种方法就是通过在 Cell— 2 上进行随机接入。 基站可以在任何一个已经建立上行同步的小区 (包括 PCell 和 SCell )上发送 PDCCH order以触发终端在 Cell— 2上进行随机接入,此时需 要确定 Msgl上行传输使用的定时参考下行载波,最简单的方法就是使用本小 区的下行载波作为定时参考下行载波, 如图 7B所示。
终端在 Cell— 2上发送 Msgl后,基站接收到 preamble,基站根据自身的期 望的接收时刻和实际接收时刻的差值确定 Cell— 2上的上行定时提前量。
步骤 4: 将新增 SCell上的上行定时提前量通知给终端;
基站将步骤 3中获得的 Cell— 2上的定时提前量通过 Msg2发送给终端, 设终端在子帧 n接收到该定时提前量,则终端在子帧 n+k,根据该定时提前量, 对 Msgl使用的上行定时提前量做修正, 并以本 Cell的 DL定时为基础,按照 修正后的定时提前量进行上行发送。 一般 k=6。
步骤 5: 后续新增 Scell所属的 TA组内的所有载波使用 Cell— 2的下行载 波作为定时参考下行载波。
实施例六: 以已经建立上行同步的某个小区 (可以是 PCell或者 SCell ) 的 DL 载波作为定时参考下行载波, 比如基站发送触发终端进行随机接入的 PDCCH order使用的下行载波。
步骤 1: PCell上 RRC连接建立;
基站在 Cell— 1上通过随机接入过程建立和基站的 RRC连接, 则设 Cell— 1 为 Pcell。 该随机接入过程中, Msgl使用的定时参考下行载波为 Cell— 1 的下 行载波;
步骤 2: 基站进行 SCell添加;
由于终端数据量增加, 基站需要为终端增加载配置小区, SCell添加可以 使用 RRC重配过程。假设增加的小区编号为 Cell— 3并且基站建立 Cell— 3上的 上行同步, 具体方法可以参见实施例 1和 2。
步骤 3: 基站继续进行 SCell添加;
由于数据量继续增大,需要继续添加 Cell— 2。此时已经获得上行同步的小 区为 Cell— 1 ( Pcell )和 Cell— 3。基站- ¥以在任何一个已经建立上行同步的小区 上发送 PDCCH order触发终端在 Cell— 2上进行随机接入, 使用哪个小区发送 PDCCH order, 则该小区就可以作为 Cell— 2上的定时参考下行载波。假设基站 在 Cell— 3上发送 PDCCH order, 触发 Cell— 2进行随机接入, 那么 Cell— 3的下 行载波就可以作为 Cell— 2的定时参考下行载波, 如图 7C 所示。
终端在 Cell— 2上发送 Msgl后,基站接收到 preamble,基站根据自身的期 望的接收时刻和实际接收时刻的差值确定 Cell— 2上的上行定时提前量。
步骤 4: 将新增 SCell上的上行定时提前量通知给终端;
基站将步骤 3中获得的 Cell— 2上的定时提前量通过 Msg2发送给终端, 设终端在子帧 n接收到该定时提前量,则终端在子帧 n+k,根据该定时提前量, 对 Msgl使用的上行定时提前量做修正, 并以 Cell— 3的下行定时为参考, 按 照修正后的定时提前量进行上行发送。 一般 k=6。
步骤 5: 后续新增 Scell所属 TA组内的所有载波使用 Cell— 3的下行载波 作为定时参考下行载波。
实施例七:以已经建立上行同步的某个小区的的 DL载波作为定时参考下 行载波, 该小区可以是 PCell, 也可以是 SCell, 下面以 PCell为例说明。 该方 法仅针对 TDD系统适用。
步骤 1: PCell上 RRC连接建立;
基站在 Cell— 1上通过随机接入过程建立和基站的 RRC连接, 则设 Cell— 1 为 PCell。 该随机接入过程中, Msgl使用的定时参考下行载波为 Cell— 1的下 行载波;
步骤 2: 基站进行 SCell添加;
由于终端数据量增加, 基站需要为终端增加配置小区, SCell添加可以使 用 RRC重配过程。 假设增加的小区编号为 Cell— 2。
步骤 3: 新增 Scell的上行定时提前量获取;
由于 Cell— 2和 Cell— 1的上行定时提前量不同, 因此需要获取 Cell— 2上的 定时提前量。 由于 TDD系统上下行使用相同 载波, 因此 Cell— 2可以以已经建立上行 同步的某个 Cell (这里已经建立上行同步的 Cell即 PCell )的下行载波作为定 时参考下行载波, 并可以该参考小区和 Cell— 2下行载波之间定时提前量的差 值以及参考小区上的上行定时提前量确定 Cell— 2上的上行定时提前量。
即 Cell— 2上的上行定时提前量 = Cell— 1 上的上行定时提前量 +Cell— 2和 Cell— 1下行定时的差值。
步骤 4: 终端使用新增 SCell进行数据传输;
终端在新增 Cell— 2上以已经建立上行同步的 PCell作为定时参考下行载 波,基于 PCell的无线帧的起点, 按照步骤 3中获取的上行定时提前量进行上 行数据传输。
步骤 5:后续新增 Scell所属 TA组内的所有载波使用 PCell的下行载波作 为定时参考下行载波。
实施例八: 以 RRC信令配置的某个下行载波作为定时参考下行载波; 步骤 1: PCell上 RRC连接建立;
基站在 Cell— 1上通过随机接入过程建立和基站的 RRC连接, 则设 Cell— 1 为 PCell。 该随机接入过程中, Msgl使用的定时参考下行载波为 Cell— 1的下 行载波;
步骤 2: 基站进行 SCell添加;
由于终端数据量增加, 基站需要为终端增加配置小区, SCell添加可以使 用 RRC重配过程。 假设增加的小区编号为 Cell— 2。 同时基站通过 RRC信令 配置该小区的定时参考下行载波为 Cell— 1对应的下行载波。
步骤 3: 新增 SCell上行定时提前量获取;
获取 Cell— 2上上行定时提前量的一种方法就是通过在 Cell— 2上进行随机 接入。基站可以在任何一个可用的 DL载波上发送 PDCCH order,触发终端在 Cell— 2上进行随机接入,此时需要确定 Msgl上行传输使用的定时参考下行载 波,终端可以根据基站 RRC信令配置使用 Cell— 1的下行载波作为定时参考下 行载波, 如图 7D 所示。 终端在 Cell— 2上发送 Msgl后, 站接收到 preamble,基站根据自身的期 望的接收时刻和实际接收时刻的差值确定 Cell— 2上的上行定时提前量。
步骤 4: 将新增 SCell上的上行定时提前量通知给终端;
基站将步骤 3中获得的 Cell— 2上的定时提前量通过 Msg2发送给终端, 设终端在子帧 n接收到该定时提前量,则终端在子帧 n+k,根据该定时提前量, 对 Msgl使用的上行定时提前量做修正,并以基站配置的 Cell— 1的 DL定时为 基础, 按照修正后的定时提前量进行上行发送。 一般 k=6。
步骤 5: 后续新增 Scell所属 TA组内的所有载波使用 RRC信令配置的 Cell— 1上的下行载波作为定时参考下行载波。
