Description

Random access control method and device

Technical field

This document relates to, but is not limited to, wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a random access control method and apparatus.

Background technique

M2M (Machine to Machine) communication is an important subject of 5G (5th Generation, 5th generation mobile communication technology) research and an important application field of wireless communication in the future. In the M2M project, 3GPP (The 3rd Generation Partnership Project) proposed the research of the NB-IoT (Narrow Band Internet of Things) system for the low-cost and low-throughput characteristics of the terminal. The goal is to build a system similar to the LTE (Long-Term Evolution) system in the 200 kHz band to provide low-throughput wireless communication services for low-cost terminals. The downlink still uses OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) technology, and SC-FDMA (Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access) technology is adopted in the uplink, and the LTE system is reused or simplified as much as possible. The existing functional modules. The subcarrier width increases the subcarrier width of 3.75 KHz in the uplink in addition to the subcarrier width of 15 KHz in the LTE system to further enhance the coverage capability of the uplink of the machine terminal.

Currently, relevant technical standards are being studied within the 3GPP International Organization for Standardization. In the 92nd meeting of the 3GPP RAN (Radio Access Net) 2, it is proposed that the random access preamble in the NB-IoT system can be single-tone (single sub-carrier) or multi-tone (multiple). Subcarriers, and NB-IoT systems also need to consider different coverage levels to support multiple coverage scenarios. Here, the random access preamble of a single subcarrier occupies only one OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system subcarrier bandwidth; and the random access preamble of multiple subcarriers can occupy multiple OFDM system subcarriers. bandwidth.

In a conventional LTE system, different random access channels use different RA-RNTIs. (Random Access-Radio Network Temporary Identity, random access wireless network temporary identification) is distinguished. The user terminal uses the RA-RNTI corresponding to the PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel) of the random access preamble to perform RAR reception in the subsequent random access response window. In this process, the RA-RNTI used by the user equipment is based on the first subframe number (0 to 9) where the PRACH of the random access preamble is located, and the index of the PRACH in the frequency domain of the random access preamble is transmitted (0 to 5) Calculated. It can be seen that the traditional RA-RNTI calculation method is calculated by using the subframe number and the frequency index number as parameters, and supports the identification of the PRACH in a range of 10 ms.

At least the following technical problems exist in the related art:

The type of random access channel of the NB-IoT system is complex, and related technologies cannot support the identification of different types of random access channels. Moreover, in the NB-IoT system, the random access preamble of a single subcarrier will be longer, which may reach or exceed the length of a 10 ms frame. The RA-RNTI calculation method of the traditional LTE system cannot be applied to each new NB-IoT system. characteristic. In addition, in order to support different coverage enhancement scenarios, the NB-IoT system needs to perform multiple repeated transmissions (RARs). Therefore, the random access response window in the NB-IoT system may be relatively long, and may even exceed the frame length of 10 ms, and the RAR format in the related art cannot be applied.

Implementation example 2

4A and FIG. 4B are schematic diagrams showing a frame number factor used by a base station according to Embodiment 2 to notify a user terminal to calculate an RA-RNTI.

Optionally, the base station may further indicate a calculation method of the RA-RNTI, including each RA-RNTI calculation factor used in the calculation, and a constant multiplied by each RA-RNTI calculation factor. For example, the base station may indicate that the frame number factor n_id is considered in the RA-RNTI calculation of a certain type of PRACH, and the multiplicative constant is k ₁ , then the calculation formula used by the user terminal in the RA-RNTI calculation is:

RA-RNTI=RA-RNTI ₀ +k ₁ *n_id

Implementation example 4

Implementation Example 4 provides implementation details for multi-type PRACH unified RA-RNTI calculations. In the calculation of the RA-RNTI, in addition to the first subframe number t_id and the frequency index f_id of the conventional PRACH, one or more of the following may be added: a PRACH type factor c_id, a frame number factor n_id, a repetition factor r_id . In this implementation example, the calculation formula of the RA-RNTI is as follows:

RA-RNTI=k ₀ +k ₁ *t_id+k ₂ *n_id+k ₃ *f_id+k ₄ *r_id+k ₅ *c_id

k ₀ to k ₅ are predetermined constants, and the specific values may be notified by the base station system to broadcast a message, or may be fixed in advance and agreed by a standard protocol.

Implementation example 5

When multiple PRACH types share the same or a group of RA-RNTIs, the PRACH type indication may be directly performed in the RAR message. 6A and FIG. 6B are schematic diagrams showing a PRACH type indication by using a reserved field in a RAR message of a legacy LTE system according to Embodiment 5. 6A is a format of a RAR unit in a MAC (Media Access Control) layer data packet, and FIG. 6B is a format of a MAC subheader performing a BI (Backoff Indicator), where E represents an extended MAC address. Subheader, T represents the MAC subheader type. As shown in FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B, the reserved bits (T1, T2, T3) in the legacy LTE format can be used to indicate the PRACH type. Since each RAR has a corresponding MAC subheader indicating the RAPID (Random Access Preamble Identity), and there is no redundant reserved bit in the subheader, the reserved bit can only indicate at most two. The PRACH of the type, that is, the PRACH type indication is performed with the T1 bit. Corresponding to the MAC subheader performing the BI indication, the PRACH type indication can be performed using the T2 bit or the T3 bit.

Figure 7B shows the format of the corresponding new BI sub-header for BI, which uses the "PRACH Index" field in the second byte for indication of the PRACH type or channel, where R represents reserved bits. The method can support up to 128 PRACH types or channels.
