Description

定时提前量 TA的确定方法、 信息发送方法和设备
本申请要求于 2011 年 08 月 05 日提交中国专利局、 申请号为
201110223793.X,发明名称为"定时提前量 TA的确定方法、信息发送方法和设 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
本发明涉及通信技术领域, 特别涉及一种定时提前量 TA的确定方法、 信 息发送方法和设备。
背景技术
在分布式天线系统( Distributed Antenna System, DAS ) 中, 每个小区 包括多个具有收发装置的收发节点, 这些收发节点在地理上分散设置,从而使 无线信号在接入小区的用户设备( User Equipment, UE )与收发节点之间传输 的距离变小, 进而使信道状况优于传统无线通信系统。
由于一个收发节点会接收多个 UE发送的上行信号, 为了避免多个 UE的上 行信号互相干扰, 通常需要向同一收发节点发送上行信号的多个 UE发送的上 行信号在同一时刻到达该收发节点。 其中, 定时提前(Timing Advance, TA ) 用于表示每个 UE发送上行信号的提前量, TA的取值为 D/c, D为无线信号在 UE 与收发节点之间传输的距离, c为电磁波的传输速度。 由于 UE具有移动性, 无 线信号在 UE与收发节点之间传输的距离 D会不断变化, 因此, UE需要不断调 整 TA的取值, 以保证 UE发送的上行信号到达收发节点的时刻与收发节点期望 其到达时刻的误差在可接受范围之内。
现有技术中, 当小区内只有一个收发节点向 UE发送下行信号并接收 UE发 送的上行信号时, UE根据该收发节点发送的下行信号的最先到达时刻来确定 TA值。 然而, 当小区内有多个收发节点向 UE发送下行信号, 但这多个收发节 点中仅有一部分收发节点接收 UE发送的上行信号时, UE根据接收到的下行信 号的最先到达的时刻来确定 TA值, 将影响 TA的准确性, 使 UE发送的上行信号 难于在期望时刻到达接收上行信号的收发节点, 进而影响这些收发节点的性 能。 发明内容

具体实施方式
为使本发明实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚, 下面将结合本发明 实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然, 所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例, 而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中 的实施例 ,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其 他实施例, 都属于本发明保护的范围。
图 1为本发明提供的定时提前量 TA的确定方法一个实施例的流程图, 如 图 1所示, 该方法包括:
S101、 接收终端接入小区中的第一收发节点集合中各收发节点的下行信 号特征信息, 其中, 第一收发节点集合中包括一个或多个收发节点;
S102、 根据第一收发节点集合中各收发节点的下行信号特征信息, 检测 第一收发节点集合中各收发节点发送的下行信号到达终端的时间;
S 103、 根据第一收发节点集合中各收发节点发送的下行信号到达终端的 时间, 确定向第一收发节点集合中各收发节点发送上行信号的定时提前量 TA。 以上步骤的执行主体为终端。
本发明实施例中,终端的接入小区中具有多个收发节点向终端发送下行信 号, 这些发送下行信号的收发节点, 都可以用于接收终端发送的上行信号, 或 者是, 这些发送下行信号的收发节点中的一部分收发节点(可以是一个, 也可 以是多个)用于接收终端发送的上行信号。终端接入小区中的多个收发节点可 以为接入点(Access Point, AP )、远端无线设备 ( Remote Radio Equipment, RRE )、远端无线端口( Remote Radio Head , RRH )、远端无线单元 ( Remote Radio Unit, RRU )、 基站或家庭基站等具有收发功能的设备, 在此不——列 举。
本实施例中, 第一收发节点集合中的各收发节点, 可以是接收终端上行信 号的收发节点。第一收发节点集合中的每个收发节点可以将本端的下行信号特 征信息发送给终端; 还可以是, 第一收发节点集合中的任一个收发节点, 将本 端以及第一收发节点集合中其他收发节点的下行信号特征信息发送给终端;可 以理解的是,也可以通过终端接入小区中除第一收发节点集合之外的其他收发 节点向终端发送第一收发节点集合中的一个或多个收发节点的下行信号特征 信息。 即, 本发明实施例中, 对于向终端发送下行信号特征信息的收发节点并 不做出限制。
作为一种可行的实施方式,下行信号特征信息可以是收发节点中用于发送 参考信号的天线编号或天线端口编号。 这是由于,每个收发节点对应的天线或 天线端口不同, 而不同的天线或天线端口发送的参考信号是不同的,每个天线 或天线端口发送的参考信号的编号与对应的天线编号或天线端口编号相同。因 此, 可以将收发节点中, 用于发送参考信号的天线编号或者天线端口编号发送 给终端, 终端可以检测对应天线或天线端口发出的参考信号的到达时间,从而 确定向第一收发节点集合中各收发节点发送上行信号的定时提前量 TA。
作为另一种可行的实施方式,下行信号的特征信息还可以是收发节点发送 的信道状态信息参考信号 (Channel State Information-Reference Signal , CSI-RS ) 的编号。 这是由于, 不同的收发节点发送的 CSI-RS不同, 因此, 可以将收发节点发送 CSI-RS编号发送给终端, 终端可以检测 CSI-RS编号对 应的 CSI-RS的到达时间,从而确定向第一收发节点集合中各收发节点发送上 行信号的定时提前量 TA。
以上仅提供了下行信号特征信息的具体例子, 可以理解的是, 下行信号特 征信息还可以为其他类型的特征信息,这些特征信息可以用于区分不同收发节 点发送的下行信号, 在此不——列举。
如果第一收发节点集合中包括一个收发节点,则终端可以检测该收发节点 发送的下行信号到达终端的时间,并根据该收发节点发送的下行信号到达终端 的时间确定向该收发节点发送上行信号的 TA。
具体的, 当终端接入一个小区时, 终端会在首次接收到该小区中的收发节 点发送的下行信号之后的 4艮短时间内, 在小区的共享信道上发送上行信号。 第 一个接收到终端上行信号的收发节点会根据上行信号到达本端的时间与期望 的上行信号到达本端的时间, 为终端下发一个初始 TA, 当无线信号在终端与 该收发节点之间传输的距离发生变化后(为了便于描述, 本发明实施例中简称 为终端与收发节点之间的距离发生变化), 终端以该初始 TA为基准, 根据距 离变化前后该收发节点的下行信号的到达时间的时间差, 与初始 TA之和来确 定距离变化之后的 TA。 只要终端与收发节点之间的距离发生变化, 终端都会 以最近一次确定的 TA, 与距离变化前后该收发节点的下行信号的到达时间的 时间差之和, 确定距离变化之后的 TA。
如果第一收发节点集合中包括多个收发节点 ,则终端可以这些收发节点发 送的下行信号中最先到达终端的下行信号的到达时间,确定向这些多个收发节 点发送上行信号的定时提前量 TA, 例如: 第一收发节点集合中包括收发节点 1和收发节点 2, 如果收发节点 1发送的下行信号最先到达终端, 则终端可以 根据收发节点 1发送的下行信号中最早到达的信号来确定向收发节点 1和收发 节点 2发送上行信号的 TA。
如果第一收发节点集合中包括多个收发节点 ,则终端可以这些收发节点发 送的下行信号中功率最强的下行信号的到达终端的时间 ,确定向这些多个收发 节点发送上行信号的定时提前量 TA,
这是由于,接收终端发送的上行信号的各收发节点中,通常与终端之间无 线信道最佳的,或者与终端之间传输的距离是最小的各收发节点最先接收到终 端发送的上行信号。由于上行信号和下行信号传输经历的信道状况通常具有相 同的特性, 因此, 终端可以根据第一收发节点集合中各收发节点所发送的下行 信号中最早到达终端的下行信号或功率最强的下行信号到达终端的时间来确 定向第一收发节点集合中各收发节点发送上行信号的 TA。
本发明实施例提供的定时提前量 TA的确定方法, 终端根据接入小区中一 个或多个收发节点的下行信号特征信息检测对应的一个或多个下行信号的到 达时间, 从而确定向该一个或多个收发节点发送上行信号的定时提前量 TA, 以使确定的 TA更加准确, 提高 UE发送的上行信号在期望时刻到达接收上行 信号的收发节点的准确度, 提高收发节点性能。
图 2为本发明提供的信息发送方法一个实施例的流程图,如图 2所示,该 方法包括:
5201、 确定接收终端上行信号的第一收发节点集合, 该第一收发节点集 合中包括一个或多个收发节点;
5202、 向终端接入小区中的一个或多个收发节点发送控制命令, 控制命 令用于指示向终端发送第一收发节点集合中一个或多个收发节点的下行信号 特征信息。
以上步骤的执行主体为基站。
终端通常会向接入小区中的各收发节点发送探测参考信号 (Sounding Reference Signal , SRS ), 相应的, 各收发节点可以将检测到的终端发送的
SRS上报给基站, 基站可以根据各收发节点检测到的 SRS的质量情况, 确定 用于接收终端上行信号的一个或多个收发节点, 即确定第一收发节点集合。
另夕卜,终端接入小区中的各收发节点也会向终端发送信道状态信息参考信 号 CSI-RS, 终端可以根据各收发节点发送的 CSI-RS的质量情况, 向基站推 荐用于接收终端上行信号的收发节点,即终端可以向基站发送第一收发节点集 合的建议信息,基站可以根据所述第一收发节点集合的建议信息, 并且综合各 收发节点与终端的信号传输情况等因素,确定接收所述终端上行信号的第一收 发节点集合。
基站确定第一收发节点集合后,可以向终端接入小区中的一个或多个收发 节点发送第一控制命令,指示该一个或多个收发节点向终端发送第一收发节点 集合中一个或多个收发节点的下行信号特征信息。
其中, 向终端发送下行信号特征信息的收发节点, 可以是第一收发集合中 的收发节点,也可以是终端接入小区中除第一收发集合之外的其他节点。这些 收发节点可以将第一收发集合中一个或多个收发节点的下行信号特征信息发 送给终端, 以使终端根据第一收发节点集合中各收发节点的下行信号特征信 息,检测第一收发节点集合中各收发节点发送的下行信号到达终端的时间, 并 根据第一收发节点集合中各收发节点发送的下行信号到达终端的时间,确定向 第一收发节点集合中各收发节点发送上行信号的定时提前量 TA。
另外, 收发节点的下行信号特征信息, 可以为收发节点中用于发送参考信 号的天线编号或天线端口编号, 还可以为收发节点发送的 CSI-RS的编号。 还 可以为其他能够区分不同收发节点发送的下行信号的特征信息。
终端接入小区中的各收发节点,通常会周期性向基站上报检测到的终端发 出的 SRS, 而终端向各收发节点发出的 SRS质量也可能发生变化, 因此, 基 站可以进一步根据终端接入小区中各收发节点上报的 SRS质量情况, 确定接 收终端上行信号的收发节点由第一收发节点集合变为第二收发节点集合,该第 二收发节点集合中包括一个或多个收发节点。
另外, 终端接入小区中的各收发节点向终端发送信道状态信息参考信号
CSI-RS也可能会发生变化, 这种情况下, 终端向基站推荐的用于接收终端上 行信号的收发节点可能发生变化, 因此,基站还可以根据终端发送的第一收发 节点集合的建议信息, 并且综合各收发节点与终端的信号传输情况等因素,确 定接收终端上行信号的收发节点由第一收发节点集合变为第二收发节点集合。
基站确定接收终端上行信号的节点变为第二收发节点集合后,可以向终端 接入小区中的一个或多个收发节点发送第二控制命令,指示向终端发送第二收 发节点集合中一个或多个收发节点的下行信号特征信息。
类似的,接收第二控制命令的收发节点可以是第一收发节点集合中的收发 节点,也可以是第二收发节点集合中的收发节点,还可以是终端接入小区中除 第一收发节点集合和第二收发节点集合之外的其他收发节点。第二收发节点集 合中各收发节点的下行信号特征信息也可以是收发节点中用于发送参考信号 的天线编号或天线端口编号, 还可以为收发节点发送的 CSI-RS的编号。 还可 以为其他能够区分不同收发节点发送的下行信号的特征信息。
本发明实施例提供的信息方法,基站确定接收终端上行信号的收发节点集 合,并指示终端接入小区中的一个或多个收发节点将收发节点集合中各收发节 点的下行信号特征信息发送给终端 ,以使终端能够根据这些收发节点的下行信 号特征信息检测对应的下行信号的到达时间 ,从而确定向该收发节点集合中各 节点发送上行信号的定时提前量 TA, 以使确定的 TA更加准确,提高 UE发送 的上行信号在期望时刻到达接收上行信号的收发节点的准确度,提高收发节点 性能。
图 3为本发明提供的信息发送方法又一个实施例的流程图, 如图 3所示, 该方法包括: S301、 接收基站发送的第一控制命令, 第一控制命令用于指示向终端发 送第一收发节点集合中一个或多个收发节点的下行信号特征信息,第一收发节 点集合中包括一个或多个收发节点,第一收发节点集合中包括本端收发节点或 不包括本端收发节点;
S302、 向终端发送第一收发节点集合中一个或多个收发节点的下行信号 特征信息。
该步骤的执行主体为收发节点,该收发节点可以为 AP、RRE、RRH、RRU、 基站或家庭基站等具有收发功能的设备, 在此不一一列举。
该收发节点可以是第一收发集合中的收发节点,也可以是终端接入小区中 除第一收发集合之外的其他节点。 收发节点接收到基站发送的第一控制命令 后,可以将第一收发集合中一个或多个收发节点的下行信号特征信息发送给终 端, 以是终端根据第一收发节点集合中各收发节点的下行信号特征信息,检测 第一收发节点集合中各收发节点发送的下行信号到达终端的时间,并根据第一 收发节点集合中各收发节点发送的下行信号到达终端的时间,确定向第一收发 节点集合中各收发节点发送上行信号的定时提前量 TA。
其中,该收发节点发送给终端的下行信号特征信息可以为收发节点中用于 发送参考信号的天线编号或天线端口编号, 还可以为收发节点发送的 CSI-RS 的编号。 还可以为其他能够区分不同收发节点发送的下行信号的特征信息。
收发节点发送的下行信号特征信息可以在向终端发送的媒体接入控制 ( Media Access Control , MAC M言令中,或者无线资源控制( Radio Resource Control , RRC )信令中携带。 可以理解的是, 收发节点还可以在与终端交互 的其他信令中携带下行信号特征信息。
当基站确定接收终端上行信号的收发节点由第一收发节点集合变为第二 收发节点集合时,基站可以向终端接入小区中的一个或多收发节点发送第二控 制命令,用于指示向终端发送第二收发节点集合中一个或多个收发节点的下行 信号特征信息, 第二收发节点集合中可以包括一个或多个收发节点。 收发节点接收基站发送的第二控制命令后,可以向终端发送第二收发节点 集合中一个或多个收发节点的下行信号特征信息。
类似的,第二收发节点中各节点的下行信号特征信息可以为收发节点中用 于发送参考信号的天线编号或天线端口编号, 还可以为收发节点发送的 CSI-RS的编号。 还可以为其他能够区分不同收发节点发送的下行信号的特征 信息。 各下行信号特征信息可以在向终端发送的 MAC信令中, 或者 RRC信 令中携带。 可以理解的是, 收发节点还可以在与终端交互的其他信令中携带下 行信号特征信息。
本发明实施例提供的信息发送方法,收发节点接收到基站发送的控制命令 后,可以将终端接入小区中一个或多个收发节点的下行信号特征信息发送给终 端, 终端检测对应的一个或多个下行信号的到达时间,从而确定向该一个或多 个收发节点发送上行信号的定时提前量 TA, 以使确定的 TA更加准确, 提高 UE发送的上行信号在期望时刻到达接收上行信号的收发节点的准确度, 提高 收发节点性能。
图 4为本发明提供的定时提前量 TA的确定方法另一个实施例的流程图, 如图 4所示,本实施中以第一收发节点集合中包括一个收发节点一第一收发节 点为例, 对本发明提供的定时提前量 TA的确定方法进行说明, 该方法具体包 括:
S401、 接收第一收发节点的下行信号特征信息;
S402、根据第一收发节点的下行信号特征信息,检测所述第一收发节点发 送的下行信号到达终端的时间;
S403、根据第一收发节点的下行信号到达终端的时间,确定相第一收发节 点发送上行信号的定时提前量 TA。
第一收发节点的下行信号的特征信息,可以是第一收发节点发送参考信号 的天线编号或天线端口编号。这是由于,每个收发节点对应的天线或天线端口 不同, 而不同的天线或天线端口发送的参考信号是不同的, 因此, 可以将第一 收发节点中用于发送参考信号的天线编号或者天线端口编号发送给终端,终端 可以检测对应天线或天线端口发出的参考信号的到达时间,从而确定向第一收 发节点发送上行信号的定时提前量 TA。 例如: 第一收发节点发送编号为 1 的 参考信号, 则可以将参考信号的编号为 1这一下行信号特征信息发送给终端, 则终端可以通过检测编号为 1的参考信号的到达时间,来确定向第一收发节点 发送上行信号的 TA值。
第一收发节点的下行信号的特征信息, 还可以是第一收发节点发送的 CSI-RS的编号, 终端可以通过检测该编号的 CSI-RS来确定向收发节点 1发 送上行信号的 TA。 这是由于, 不同收发节点发送的 CSI-RS不同, 因此, 可 以向终端发送第一收发节点发送 CSI-RS 的编号, 终端可以通过检测该 CSI-RS的编号所对应的 CSI-RS来确定向第一收发节点上行的 TA值。
由于在长期演进的进一步演进( Long Term Evolution Advanced , LTE-A ) 系统中, 收发节点发送 CSI-RS的频率较低, 通常至少 5ms发送 1次, 而收发节 点发送的 CRS的频率大约为每 1 ms发送 1次。 因此, 作为另一种较佳的实施方 式, 终端接收到第一收发节点发送的 CSI-RS的编号后, 可以检测 CRS编号对 应的 CSI-RS到达终端的时间, 进一步的, 终端可以才艮据 CSI-RS到达终端的时 间以及 CSI-RS编号与对应的公共参考信号 CRS之间的时间差,检测 CSI-RS编 号对应的 C RS到达终端的时间。
如图 5所示, 假设收发节点 1和收发节点 2都向终端发送下行信号, 收发节 点 1和收发节点 2发送的 CRS相同, 但发送的 CSI-RS不同。 每个收发节点向终 端发送的 CRS和 CSI-RS之间的时间差通常是定值 d , 终端在 t1时刻和 t3时刻均 接收到收发节点 1和收发节点 2发送的 CRS信号, 而终端并不知道这两个时刻 收到的 CRS分别来自哪个收发节点。 由于收发节点 1和收发节点 2发送的 CSI-RS是不同的, 因此终端能够检测到接收的 CSI-RS来自哪个收发节点, 如 图 4所示, 终端可以根据接收到的 CSI-RS的编号, 获知在 t2时刻检测的接收到 的 CSI-RS来自发送节点 1 , 在 t4时刻接收的 CSI-RS来自收发节点 2。 由于每个 收发节点发送的 CRS和 CSI-RS之间的时间差为 d , 因此, 终端能够判断出 t1时 刻接收到的 CRS来自收发节点 1 , t3时刻接收到的 CRS来自收发节点 2。 如果 收发节点 1和收发节点 2发送 CSI-RS的频率是每 5ms发送 1次,发送 CRS的频率 是每 1 ms发送 1次,则当终端在某一时刻检测到收发节点 1发送的 CSI-RS之后, 可以确定终端收到收发节点 1发送的 CRS的时刻为 t-d。 因此, 在后续 4个 ms时 间内、 终端可以在 t-d+n时刻( n取值为 1 ~4 )检测接收 CRS的时间。 可以看出, 终端在接收到第一收发节点的 CSI-RS后, 可以以 1 ms为频率, 确定 TA的调整 量, 从而提高终端的 TA调整精度。
当终端接入第一收发节点所在的小区时,终端会在首次接收到该小区中的 收发节点发送的下行信号之后的很短时间内,在小区的共享信道上发送上行信 号。 第一收发节点会根据上行信号到达时间与期望的上行信号到达时间, 为终 端下发一个初始 TA, 当终端与第一收发节点的距离发生变化后, 终端以该初 始 TA为基准, 根据距离变化前后第一收发节点的下行信号的到达时间的时间 差, 与初始 TA之和来确定距离变化之后的 TA。 只要终端与第一收发节点之间 的距离发生变化, 终端都会以最近一次确定的 TA, 与距离变化前后第一收发 节点的下行信号的到达时间的时间差之和, 确定距离变化之后的 TA。
以下以一个具体例子进行说明, 在终端的一次距离变化之前,信号在终端 与第一收发节点之间传输的距离为 D,第一收发节点向终端发送的下行信号在 !^时刻到达终端, 终端发送上行信号的定时提前为 TTA1。 当终端移动之后, 信 号在终端与第一收发节点之间传输的距离变为 D2,第一收发节点向终端发送的 信号在 T2时刻到达终端, 其中, Τ2= +(02-0^/0。 终端可以通过检测第一收 发节点发送的下行信号的到达时刻变化值 IVl , 从而确定距离变化后上行信 号的定时提前为
Figure imgf000017_0001
从而可以保证终端发送的上行信号在期望的时 刻到达第一收发节点。
图 6为本发明提供的定时提前量 ΤΑ的确定方法再一个实施例的流程图,如 图 6所示, 本实施中以接收终端上行信号的收发节点由第一收发节点集合变为 第二收发节点集合, 第一收发节点集合包括第一收发节点, 第二收发节点集合 包括第二收发节点, 对本发明提供的定时提前量 ΤΑ的确定方法进行说明, 该 方法具体包括:
5601、 接收第二收发节点的下行信号特征信息;
5602、 根据第二收发节点的下行信号特征信息, 检测第二收发节点发送 的下行信号到达终端的时间。
5603、 将第二收发节点发送的下行信号到达终端的时间与第一收发节点 发送的下行信号到达终端的时间的时间差,与向第一收发节点发送上行信号过 程中最近一次确定的 TA之和, 确定为向第二收发节点发送上行信号的 TA。
其中, S601和 S602具体可参见前一实施例中的相关描述,在此不再赘述。 以下以一个具体例子对本实施例中的 S603进行详细说明。 如果接收终端 上行信号的收发节点由收发节点 1变为收发节点 2 ,则终端可以分别获取收发节 点 1和收发节点 2所发送的下行信号到达终端的时间差为 TDIFF , 终端可以根据向 第一收发节点发送上行信号过程中最近一次确定的 TA--TA。ld和 TDIFF重新确定向 收发节点 2发送上行信号的 TANEW, TANEW=TA。LD+TDIFF
图 7为本发明提供的定时提前量 TA的确定方法再一个实施例的流程图,如 图 7所示, 本实施中以第一收发节点集合中包括多个收发节点, 对本发明提供 的定时提前量 TA的确定方法进行说明。 该方法具体包括:
S701、 接收第一收发节点集合中各收发节点的下行信号特征信息, 该第 一收发节点集合中包括多个收发节点;
S702、 根据第一收发节点集合中各收发节点的下行信号特征信息, 检测 第一收发节点集合中各收发节点发送的下行信号到达终端的时间;
S703、 根据第一收发节点集合中多个收发节点发送的下行信号中最先到 达的信号或者功率最强的信号到达终端的时间,确定向该多个收发节点发送上 行信号的定时提前量 TA。
其中, S701和 S702具体可参见前述实施例中的相关描述,在此不再赘述。 以下以一个具体例子对本实施例中 S702进行详细说明。 终端接入小区中 包括 4个收发节点, 所有收发节点都向终端发送下行信号, 第一收发节点集合 中包括收发节点 1和收发节点 2。 U E可以以收发节点 1和收发节点 2发送的下行 信号中最早到达的下行信号来确定向收发节点 1和收发节点 1发送上行信号的 TA。
例如:收发节点 1发送的下行信号比收发节点 2发送的下行信号更早到达终 端, 则终端可以根据收发节点 1所发送的下行信号的到达时间来确定 TA。
需要说明的是, 如果终端根据收发节点 1所发送的下行信号的到达时间来 确定向收发节点 2发送上行信号的 TA,这会导致终端发送的上行信号在收发节 点 2所期望的时刻之后到达收发节点 2。这一问题可以通过一些现有的正交频分 复用 ( Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing , OFDM ) 系统中的循环 前缀( Cyclic Prefix, CP )技术来解决。 具体是: 如果终端需要发送 OFDM符 号长度为 N的上行信号: a(1 ), a(2), ..., a(N) , 则釆用 CP技术之后, 假设终端 在上行信号中增加长度为 K的循环前缀, 则终端发送的上行信号为: a(N-K+1 ), a(N-K+2), ..., a(N), a(1 ), a(2), ..., a(N) , 而接收终端发送的上行信号的收发节 点 1和收发节点 2只需从第 K+ 1个 OFDM符号开始接收上行信号即可。 当终端发 送多个上述增加长度为 K的 CP之后的上行信号时, 即使信号推迟到达收发节 点, 只要推迟到达的时间长度小于 CP的长度 K, 由于从第 K+1个 OFDM符号开 始的长度为 N的信号都包括了 a(1 )~a(N)中所有需要的信号, 因此,可以保证各 上行信号不受到任何符号间的干扰。 作为另一种可行的实施方式,终端可以以收发节点 1和收发节点 2中,发送 的下行信号中功率最强的下行信号的到达终端的时间, 确定向收发节点 1和收 发节点 2发送上行信号的定时提前量 TA。
这是由于,接收终端发送的上行信号的各收发节点中,通常与终端之间无 线信道最佳的,或者与终端之间传输的距离是最小的各收发节点最先接收到终 端发送的上行信号。由于上行信号和下行信号传输经历的信道状况通常具有相 同的特性, 因此,终端可以根据收发节点 1和收发节点 2所发送的下行信号中最 早到达终端的下行信号或功率最强的下行信号到达终端的时间来确定向收发 节点 1和收发节点 2发送上行信号的 TA。
图 8为本发明提供的定时提前量 TA的确定方法再一个实施例的流程图,如 图 8所示, 本实施中以接收终端上行信号的收发节点由第一收发节点集合变为 第二收发节点集合, 第一收发节点集合包括多个收发节点, 第二收发节点集合 包括多个收发节点, 对本发明提供的定时提前量 TA的确定方法进行说明, 该 方法具体包括:
S801、 接收第二收发节点集合中各节点的下行信号特征信息;
S802、 根据第二收发节点集合中各节点的下行信号特征信息, 检测第二 收发节点集合中各收发节点发送的下行信号到达终端的时间;
S803、 将第二收发节点集合中各节点发送的下行信号到达终端的时间与 第三收发节点发送的下行信号到达终端的时间的时间差中的最小值,与向第一 收发节点集合发送上行信号过程中最近一次确定的 TA之和, 确定为向第二节 点集合发送上行信号的 TA, 第三收发节点为下行信号最先到达终端的节点。
其中, S801和 S802具体可参见前述实施例中的相关描述,在此不再赘述。 以下以一个具体例子对本实施例中的 S803进行详细说明。 如果接收终端 上行信号的收发节点由收发节点 1和收发节点 2 , 变为收发节点 3和收发节点 4 , 其中, 收发节点 1发送的下行信号先于收发节点 2发送的下下行信号到达终端。 则终端可以分别获取收发节点 3和收发节点 4所发送的下行信号与收发节点 1 发送的下行信号到达终端的时间差 Tdiff1和 Tdiff2 , 终端可以根据 Tdiff1和 Tdiff2中的 最小值, 以及向收发节点 1和收发节点 2发送上行信号过程中最近一次确定的 TA--TA。ld , 以及 min ( Tdiff1 , Tdiff2 )重新确定向收发节点 3和收发节点 4发送上 行信号的 TAnew, TAnew=TA0id+ min ( Tdiff1 , Tdiff2 ) 。
