The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. example. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

The embodiments of the present invention are applicable to direct communication in an unlicensed spectrum, and the LTE system and the wifi system are used in the case of unlicensed spectrum coexistence as an example, and are also applicable to scenarios in which other systems coexist. In the cellular system, the LTE system is taken as an example, and the disclosed method is also applicable to a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) or a Global System for Mobile communication (GSM). , Other cellular systems such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) 2000. The LTE base station can be generally classified into a micro base station (Pico eNB), a small base station (Micro or small eNB), or a macro base station (macro eNB) according to different transmission power and downlink coverage, wherein the small base station and the micro base station are more suitable. Unlicensed spectrum is used, because its transmit power is small, and interference to different systems is easier to control flexibly. The use of unlicensed spectrum by macro base stations generally requires beamforming technology to avoid causing large coverage. Widespread interference. The LTE base station according to the embodiment of the present invention is also applicable to the above various base stations.

When an LTE system uses an unlicensed spectrum or uses a licensed spectrum of another system as a secondary user, there may be a different system in the coverage area of the base station, such as a Wireless Fidelity (wifi) system or a television system, using the same frequency band. Unlicensed spectrum or TV white space (TVWS), there may be co-channel interference in the common coverage area of the LTE system and the wifi system, for example, when the coverage of the LTE system and the wifi system overlap and the frequencies overlap. If the LTE system and the wifi system communicate in their respective systems at overlapping frequency ranges, they may cause co-channel interference. The LTE system and the wifi system need to cooperate between systems or the devices of each system share the unlicensed spectrum through detection and avoidance, so that each system can communicate normally. When the LTE system uses the licensed spectrum of other systems as a secondary user, for example, when the LTE system uses TVWS, the priority of the television system as the primary user is higher than that of the LTE system as the secondary user, and the LTE system only does not occupy the television system. TVWS can only be used when TVWS, and once the LTE system detects that the TV system is starting to use TVWS, it needs to immediately evade and enter the silent period, or reduce the transmission power to the specified range without affecting the normal operation of the TV system. In the embodiments of the present invention, the LTE base station and the user equipment communicate by carrier aggregation (Carrier Aggregation, CA), and the secondary cell (SCell) uses the unlicensed spectrum as an example, and is also applicable to the SCell. The case of using a licensed spectrum of a different system.

FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of Embodiment 1 of a user equipment according to the present invention. The embodiment of the invention provides a user equipment, which is suitable for direct communication on an unlicensed spectrum, and can be applied to public security and commercial purposes, and has a peer-to-peer communication between devices, local broadcast, and user equipment relay communication. Wait. The user equipment is a first user equipment, where "first" and "second" in any embodiment of the present invention only distinguish different devices or modules in direct communication, for example, first user equipment and second The user equipment is a different user equipment in the direct communication. As shown in FIG. 1, the user equipment 10 includes: a first receiver 11, a first processor 12, and a first transmitter 13. The first receiver 11 is configured to receive a control signal sent by the second user equipment by configuring the spectrum. The first processor 12 is connected to the first receiver 11 and configured to measure the direct communication on the unlicensed spectrum according to the control signal. The wireless parameter is used to generate a measurement report, and the first transmitter 13 is connected to the first processor 12, and configured to send a measurement report to the base station, so that the base station allocates the first user equipment and the second user equipment according to the measurement report. A wireless resource used for data communication.

Specifically, the configured spectrum may be an authorized spectrum of the LTE system or an unlicensed spectrum. When the unlicensed spectrum is applied to the SCdl, the LTE system first listens to whether the spectrum is idle, that is, "Listen Before Talk (LBT)" to avoid interference with other users who are using the unlicensed spectrum. When the unlicensed spectrum is not occupied by the heterogeneous system, it can be acquired by the SCdl as an additional radio resource for communicating with the user equipment. According to the spectrum regulations, after the LTE system acquires the unlicensed spectrum for a period of time, it needs to temporarily release the spectrum resources to give the coexisting different system the opportunity to obtain the unlicensed spectrum, or the LTE system encounters strong interference in the unlicensed band. The spectrum resources can also be temporarily released in other cases. After the LTE system releases the spectrum resources, it needs to re-compete to the spectrum resources to continue to use the unlicensed spectrum for communication.

The control signal is a signaling interaction between the user equipment 10 before the data transmission in the direct communication, including the peer signal and the discovery signal, wherein the peer signal may include at least a D2D primary synchronization signal (referred to as: D2D PSS) can also include D2D secondary synchronization signal (D2D secondary synchronization signal, DHD: D2D SSS). The sequence design of the reference signal can refer to the main synchronizing signal PSS and the auxiliary synchronizing signal SSS of the LTE cell communication mode; The discovery signal may be a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS), a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), or a dedicated preamble. The radio resources may be allocated by the base station to the user equipment 10 of the direct communication, or may be allocated to the user equipment 10 of the direct communication by the master device; the manner of allocating the radio resources includes dynamic signaling allocation and semi-static configuration.

The LTE system is applied to the unlicensed spectrum to effectively utilize the unlicensed spectrum resources and improve the available spectrum bandwidth of the users in the LTE system, because the D2D direct communication in the LTE system does not support the unlicensed spectrum in the LTE system.

In addition, when the D2D direct communication in the LTE system works in the unlicensed spectrum, and multiple systems dynamically share the unlicensed spectrum resources, the acquisition of the unlicensed spectrum may be discontinuous in time and frequency, and there is a certain intermittent , the sense of spectrum of user equipment for unlicensed spectrum in direct communication There are also certain errors and delays in the knowledge or spectrum detection. In some cases, the reliability of the homogenous signal and/or the discovery signal of the user equipment in the direct communication is reduced, the error and delay of the data communication are increased, and the utilization of the spectrum resource is reduced. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, a user equipment that performs direct communication, that is, the first user equipment, receives the other user equipment in the direct communication, that is, the second user equipment, by using the configuration spectrum pre-configured by the base station. The control signal, thereby improving the reliability of the control signals in the direct communication, for example, the homology signal and the discovery signal, and reducing the communication delay.

When the configured spectrum is the licensed spectrum of the LTE system, the licensed spectrum is exclusively occupied by the LTE system or the LTE system has the highest priority, so the reliability of the configured spectrum is high; when the spectrum is configured as an unlicensed spectrum, when the unlicensed spectrum is wireless When the parameters are appropriate, the first user equipment receives the control signal on the configured spectrum, and the second user equipment sends the control signal in the configured spectrum, so the reliability of the configured spectrum is high.

On the basis of the foregoing, if the first user equipment 30 and the second user equipment 40 are in different cells of the base station, the first processor 12 is further configured to: interact with the second user equipment 40 according to the first user equipment 30. The occupation information of the unlicensed spectrum determines the receiving time of the control signal, and triggers the first receiver 11 to receive the control signal sent by the second user equipment 40 through the licensed spectrum at the receiving time; or, according to the first receiver 11 from the first user equipment The base station obtains the notification that the unlicensed spectrum is available, determines the receiving time of the control signal, and triggers the first receiver 11 to receive the control signal sent by the second user equipment 40 through the authorized spectrum at the receiving time, where the notification is the first user equipment. The result of the unlicensed spectrum occupancy information interaction between the base station and the second user equipment 40 is used to indicate that the first user equipment 30 and the second user equipment 40 perform direct communication. Optionally, the second processor 22 is further configured to: perform, after the second receiver 21 receives the measurement report sent by the user equipment 10, perform an unlicensed spectrum with another base station where another user equipment that performs direct communication is located. Occupying information Interacting, and implementing inter-base station peering according to the interaction result, and notifying the user equipment 10 to perform direct connection communication. As shown in FIG. 7, the first user equipment 30 is located in the cell provided by the first base station 50, and the second user equipment 40 is located in the cell provided by the second base station 60, where the first base station 50 and the second base station 60 are adjacent in position. Or, as shown in FIG. 8, the first user equipment 30 and the second user equipment 40 are located in two cells for performing inter-base station carrier aggregation, for example, the first user equipment 30 and the second user equipment 40 are configured with CA. The CA is aggregated by a cell provided by a primary eNB (MeNB) 70 and a secondary eNB (SeNB) 80, where one of the cells provided by the MeNB 70 operates in an unlicensed spectrum, where the SeNB 80 provides One of the cells works in an unlicensed spectrum. Both the cell on the licensed spectrum and the cell on the unlicensed spectrum of the LTE system provided by the two base stations need to be the same, for example, the system frame number (SFN) and the subframe level are the same. It can be realized by the inter-base station peer of the prior art.

In the implementation manner in which the first processor 12 determines the receiving time of the control signal according to the occupation information of the unlicensed spectrum, the first user equipment 30 and the second user equipment 40 directly interact with each other, and it is determined that the two user equipments can be performed. Direct communication, that is, after the two user devices are mutually identical and discovered. In addition, the user equipment can directly communicate with each other through the base station, for example, the occupancy information of the unlicensed spectrum is reported to the base station, and then the base station determines the reception time.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the process of configuring the CA and the D2D for the user equipment by the base station is the same as the foregoing embodiment, but for the radio resource allocation of the homology signal and the discovery signal on the licensed spectrum, two base stations need to pass between the base stations. The interface (for example, the X2 interface) negotiates that the radio resources allocated by the two base stations for their respective user equipments need to be consistent, so that the user equipment can transmit and receive control signals on the same radio resource.

Specifically, when different user equipments served by the two base stations acquire the unlicensed spectrum, the two base stations need to communicate through the X2 interface, or through the direct connection between the user equipments, or through both the base stations and the user equipment. The common channel that can be accessed is notified, and only when the time on the unlicensed spectrum of the two base stations is occupied by the LTE system overlaps, data communication between the user equipments can be performed, and the peer signals between the user equipments and The discovery signal can only be sent through the licensed spectrum.

And utilization of spectrum resources.

In another implementation, the first receiver 11 may be specifically configured to: receive, by using an unlicensed spectrum, a control signal sent by the second user equipment, where the control signal includes a peer signal and a discovery signal.

This implementation will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 3, and 4. As shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10, the horizontal axis represents the time axis and the vertical axis represents the frequency spectrum. In the unlicensed spectrum, the dotted line indicates that the unlicensed spectrum is unavailable, the solid line indicates that the unlicensed spectrum is available, and the second user equipment 40 periodically transmits the same signal, that is, the time of _3⁄4 1 1⁄2, t ₃₃ , t ₃ 4 and t ₃₅ And the first user equipment 30 receives the peer signal only when the unlicensed spectrum is available, such as time t ₃₃ and time t ₃₅ .

In this embodiment, the base station configures the user equipment to transmit and receive the radio resource of the peer signal and the discovery signal on the unlicensed spectrum, and sends the foregoing control signal when the radio parameter is unsuitable on the unlicensed spectrum, thereby saving the radio resource of the licensed spectrum. And improve the reliability of direct communication.

Specifically, the implementation is different from the foregoing implementation manner in that, in this implementation manner, the peer-to-peer signal and the discovery signal configured by the base station 20 for the user equipment 10 are transmitted by using radio resources on the unlicensed spectrum.

The first user equipment 30 and the second user equipment 40 use different time-frequency domain resources to transmit the peer signal and/or the discovery signal, for example, to distinguish between subframes and frequencies to avoid collision. The base station 20 configures the user equipment 10 to periodically transmit and/or receive the control signals only when the unlicensed spectrum available information indicated by the base station 20 is received or when the user equipment 10 itself determines that the unlicensed spectrum is available.

When the unlicensed spectrum contains a plurality of frequencies, the first processor 12 selects its corresponding available frequency range for transmission of the control signal according to the range of the unlicensed spectrum. Specifically, when the unlicensed spectrum includes multiple frequencies, the base station 20 may configure the resources of the foregoing control signal for the user equipment 10 on multiple frequencies, so that the user equipment 10 selects corresponding according to the available conditions of the specific frequency range on the unlicensed spectrum. The available frequency range transmits and/or receives the above control signals; the base station 20 can also configure the user equipment 10 to transmit and/or receive the signals at lower power and/or different periods when the unlicensed spectrum is unavailable.

The user equipment 10 periodically transmits/receives the above control signal on the unlicensed spectrum based on the configuration information of the peer signal and the discovery signal.

Specifically, the base station 20 determines the non-authentication based on the unlicensed spectrum measurement information reported by the user equipment 10. The licensed spectrum is available, and the PDCCH or the EPDCCH on the PCell indicates that the user equipment 10 starts transmitting and/or receiving the foregoing signal, and the user equipment 10 periodically transmits and/or receives the signal on the unlicensed spectrum after receiving the indication from the base station 20; or The user equipment 10 determines that the unlicensed spectrum is available according to its own unlicensed spectrum measurement result, and periodically transmits and/or receives the above signal on the unlicensed spectrum. Optionally, the user equipment 10 indicates to the base station 20 that the unlicensed spectrum is available for direct communication between the other user equipment, and/or the information that the user equipment 10 has transmitted and/or received the control signal. Indicated to the base station 20.

Meanwhile, when the unlicensed spectrum includes multiple frequencies, the user equipment 10 can select and transmit the above control signal according to the configuration of the base station 20 and the available frequency range of the specific frequency range on the unlicensed spectrum. Alternatively, the user equipment 10 may also transmit and/or receive the above control signals at a lower power and/or different periods when the unlicensed spectrum is unavailable according to the configuration of the base station 20.

After transmitting and/or receiving the foregoing control signal, the user equipment 10 measures information such as RSRP, or CQI, or path loss according to the received peer signal and/or discovery signal of the opposite user equipment; and reports the measurement to the base station 20. As a result, the base station 20 determines whether the user equipment 10 is suitable for maintaining D2D communication based on the above-described control signal, and allocates radio resources for data communication to the user equipment 10 based on the wireless parameters of the unlicensed spectrum.

When the unlicensed spectrum is available, the base station 20 transmits a cell-synchronous signal, a reference signal, and the like on the unlicensed spectrum, and is used by the user equipment 10 to measure information of radio parameters such as RSRP or CQI on the unlicensed spectrum, and periodically or according to the measurement. Whether the result is greater than or less than the preset threshold is reported to the base station 20, so that the base station 20 allocates the radio resource for data communication to the user equipment 10 according to the wireless parameter of the unlicensed spectrum.

In this embodiment, by transmitting a control signal on an unlicensed spectrum when the unlicensed spectrum radio parameters are suitable, the reliability of the peer signal and the discovery signal can be improved, and the radio resources and the battery consumption and power of the user equipment on the licensed spectrum can be saved. loss.

Further, in conjunction with FIG. 4, if the first user equipment 30 and the second user equipment 40 are in different cells of the base station, the first processor 12 may be further configured to: according to the first user equipment 30 and the second user equipment The occupancy information of the 40 unlicensed spectrums is determined, and the receiving time of the control signal is determined, and the first receiver 11 is configured to receive the control signal sent by the second user equipment 40 through the unlicensed spectrum at the receiving time; or, according to the first receiver 11 The base station where the first user equipment 30 is located acquires an unlicensed frequency The notification of the available spectrum determines the receiving time of the control signal, and triggers the first receiver 11 to receive the control signal sent by the second user equipment 40 through the unlicensed spectrum at the receiving time, wherein the notification is the first user equipment 30 and the second user. As a result of the unlicensed spectrum occupation information exchange performed by the base station of the device 40, the first user equipment 30 and the second user equipment 40 are instructed to perform direct communication.

Refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 for the actual scenario. The difference between this embodiment and the foregoing embodiment that the user equipments are located in different cells is that the radio resources for transmitting the homology signal and the discovery signal between the user equipments use the unlicensed spectrum, and the radio resources need two base stations to pass the inter-base station interface (for example, X2 interface) Negotiation, the radio resources allocated by the user equipments served by the two base stations must be consistent, so that the user equipments can transmit and receive control signals on the same resource.

Specifically, when different user equipments served by different base stations acquire the unlicensed spectrum, the base stations need to communicate through the X2 interface, or notify through the direct connection between the user equipments, or through the base stations and users. The device can access the common channel for notification. Only when the time on the unlicensed spectrum of the two base stations is overlapped by the LTE system, the data communication between the user equipments can be performed, and the peers between the user equipments Signals and discovery signals can be sent over unlicensed spectrum.

In this embodiment, the information about the transmission of the unlicensed spectrum and the discovery signal are determined by the user equipment that performs the direct communication between the base stations or the user equipment, and the signal is sent when the unlicensed spectrum radio parameters are appropriate, for example, by mask configuration. The user equipment sends the control signal on the licensed spectrum or the unlicensed spectrum only when the unlicensed spectrum is available, which can improve the reliability of the foregoing signal, save the radio resources of the licensed spectrum, and the battery consumption and power consumption of the user equipment, thereby improving Communication reliability; thereby saving spectral resources as well as the battery and power consumption of the UE.

The embodiments of the present invention generally improve the success rate of communication and the utilization of spectrum resources, so that the D2D direct communication and the different systems in the LTE system coexist in the unlicensed spectrum more reasonably and efficiently under the premise of complying with the spectrum regulations. .
