Description

一种上行参考信号的传输方法和装置
本申请要求在2016年7月22日提交中国专利局、申请号为201610585106.1、发明名称为“一种上行参考信号的传输方法和装置”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
本发明涉及无线技术领域，尤其涉及一种上行参考信号的传输方法和装置。
背景技术
高低频基站混合组网，也称高低频基站异构(Heterogeneous Network，HetNet)组网，低频基站覆盖一个范围较大的区域，高频基站在低频基站的覆盖范围内进行热点覆盖，以提升热点地区的容量。由于这种组网模式可以借助低频基站的广覆盖能力，减少高频定向链路传输控制信令的系统开销，因此是未来5G重点部署场景。
现有的LTE系统中，Softcell组网是一种典型的HetNet组网方案。Softcell组网，即微站(micro/pico BS)重用宏站(macro BS)的小区ID，即微站对终端是透明的。终端在接入网络时，只知道整个HetNet小区的ID或者宏站ID，而无需知道哪个微站在为其服务。在这种组网方案下，为了实现终端与微站之间的同步，现有技术方案如下：
1)终端通过检测小区的主/辅同步信号(Primary/Secondary Synchronization Signal，PSS/SSS)，完成与宏站的下行同步过程，获取网络侧的同步时钟。
2)终端完成上行物理随机接入过程，获取终端到宏站的上行定时提前量(Timing Advance，TA)。
3)终端与各微站之间的下行同步和上行定时提前量，直接重用终端与宏站的结果。因为LTE系统中，符号的最小循环前缀(Cyclic Prefix,CP)长度有4.69us；假设宏站半径500m，微站半径100m，宏微之间的时延差最大不超过1.33us，不同终端达到微站的时延差最大不超过0.33us，时延差造成的影响是可以通过CP消除的。
在这种组网方案下，为了实现网络侧对终端服务微站(Transaimission Point，TP)或者微站集的选取，现有技术方案如下：
1)宏站或者HetNet网络的网络控制器向目标终端分配上行测量参考信号以及承载信号的发送资源。
2)终端使用该指定资源发送指定的上行测量参考信号。
3)网络侧，例如HetNet内终端邻近的微站，基于该上行测量参考信号进行测量，例如测量参考信号的接收功率(Reference Signal Received Power，RSRP)，从而确定该终端所属的服务微站/微站集；
但是，上述方案不适用于微站为高频基站的场景，因为高频符号的长度在微秒量级，如1.25us，而CP长度一般为符号长度的1/5，即0.25us。根据之前时延差的估计，这个CP长度不足以消除宏微时延差和不同终端TA时间差的影响。
图1描绘了两种时延差将会带来的影响：
Q1：虽然终端与低频宏站(图1中eNB)完成了时间同步和上行定时提前过程，即图1中网络侧时钟和UE发送到eNB的信号在时间上对齐，但是以该结果重用到微站上时，不 同终端(图中UE1和UE2)的上行传输信号到达某一微站(图中TP1)存在随机的时延差，该时延差的出现将会破坏上行测量参考信号时域的正交性，同时还对导致参考测量信号对数据部分造成干扰。
Q2：另一方面，即使对单个终端(图中UE1)而言，与宏站时间对齐的结果，复用到微站(图中TP1)上，也会因为路径传播距离不同，导致低频宏站和高频微站之间出现时延差，这个时延差将会导致波束检测缺失问题，从而无法完整接收某个波束发送的参考信号。
因此，在微站为高频基站，宏站为低频基站的HetNet混合组网场景下，针对现有技术中终端与宏站的同步和TA不能重用到终端与高频微站之间而导致无法正确传输上行参考信号的问题，如何设计一种上行参考信号传输方案，以保证上行参考信号的传输准确率是亟需解决的问题。

具体实施方式
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，所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例，并不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有做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2所示，为本发明实施例中的一种应用场景示意图，具体包括：终端、低频宏站和至少一个高频微站，可选的，在此场景下，也可能存在低频微站。其中，高频微站依赖低频宏站实现部分传输功能；终端既配备低频收发机又配备高频收发机，低频收发机通过低频链路与低频宏站进行数据通信，高频收发机通过高频链路与高频微站进行数据通信。
基于图2所示的应用场景示意图，本发明实施例提供一种上行参考信号的传输方法，如图3所示，具体流程包括如下步骤：
步骤31：终端确定所述终端在高频链路上的上行参考信号的时域资源发送位置，所述上行参考信号的至少一端存在保护间隔。
其中，高频链路指的是终端与高频基站的通信链路，高频链路用于高频频段的传输，一般情况下大于6GHz的频段称为高频频段，当然高频频段的设置也可以根据终端的具体 组网环境来具体设置。
具体的，终端确定所述终端在高频链路上的上行参考信号的时域资源发送位置时，所述终端在高频链路上的上行参考信号的时域资源发送位置的确定方式可以包括以下三种方式：
第一种方式为：所述终端基于低频链路获取低频基站的系统时钟，将系统时钟指示的低频链路的一个时隙的起点位置确定为所述终端在高频链路上的上行参考信号的时域资源发送位置。
第二种方式为：所述终端基于低频链路获取低频基站的系统时钟和所述终端在低频链路上的上行定时提前量，将系统时钟指示的低频链路的一个时隙的起点经过所述上行定时提前量的位置确定为所述终端在高频链路上的上行参考信号的时域资源发送位置。
第三种方式为：所述终端接收网络侧发送的所述时域资源发送位置的指示信息。
其中，所述上行参考信号是周期的、集中的在面向网络的测量时隙(NoMP)间隔中传输，可选的，NOMP放置在一个无线帧中，具体的，一个无线帧中可以包括1个或多个NOMP，或者每隔多个无线帧存在一个包括NOMP的无线帧。所述NoMP由上行参考信号和保护间隔组成，具体的放置位置存在三种情况，如图4所示，保护间隔可以放置在参考信号的任意一端，或者放置在参考信号的两端，而且，终端在保护间隔的时间段内不传输任何信号。
需要说明的是，保护间隔的长度根据HetNet网络中宏站和微站的具体部署场景确定，其中，保护间隔的长度不小于终端与任意一个高频微站的上行TA的1/2，即L≥max|TAi/2|，其中L为保护间隔的长度，TAi为终端与任意一个高频微站的上行TA。其中，终端与任意一个高频微站的上行TA，利用终端与低频宏站之间的上行TA、高频微站的位置信息、低频宏站的位置信息进行估计得到的；保护间隔和保护间隔的长度也可以不明确给出，通过NOMP间隔长度和参考信号的长度，能够隐式确定参考信号的至少一端存在保护间隔，从而确定出保护间隔的长度。
所述上行参考信号包括同步参考信号和/或上行测量参考信号。所述同步参考信号用于实现终端与高频基站之间的上行同步；所述测量参考信号用于测量终端与高频基站之间的信道状态信息，例如接收端检测信号强度等。所述上行测量参考信号包括探测参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal，SRS)，由终端发送，高频基站通过对该SRS的测量可以实现对上行信道的评估，并据此评估对上行资源进行分配。可见，SRS对于上行信道估计以实现上行资源动态分配来说非常重要。此外，SRS还可以用于终端的上行定时，互易性辅助的下行波束成形等操作，且对这些操作来说也非常重要。
步骤32：所述终端在到达所述时域资源发送位置后，在所述上行参考信号对应的第一时间区间内，在M个时间内的不同时间片按照第一顺序切换发送波束，传输上行参考信号，在所述上行参考信号对应的第二时间区间内，在所述M个时间内的不同时间片按照第二顺序切换发送波束，传输上行参考信号，所述上行参考信号包括M个不同时间片上传输的上行参考信号，M为大于1的正整数，所述第二顺序为所述第一顺序的循环移位。
其中，传输上行参考信号对应的时间长度被分为M个时间片，每个时间片的长度相同，可以为1个符号，也可以为多个(≥2)符号，其中上行参考信号对应的时间片个数可以预先规定，也可以基于终端的发送波束的数量来具体确定。
图5所示为上行参考信号在终端与高频微站之间的传输示意图。在终端侧，终端在各时间片上使用不同的发送波束进行上行参考信号的发送，例如，时间片B0上通过发送波束#0发送参考信号，在时间片B1上通过发送波束#1发送参考信号。具体的，终端在进行 上行参考信号的发送时，可以采用以下两种方式：
第一种方式为集中式发送方式，此时，终端的上行参考信号对应的时间片的数量M不少于终端在某定向区域传输上行参考信号所需的最小发送波束数目。例如终端需覆盖0～60°区域，波束宽度为10°，则最小所需发送波束数目为6，M的值需大于等于6。
第二种方式为分布式发送方式，此时，的上行参考信号对应的时间片的数量M小于终端在某定向区域传输上行参考信号所需的最小发送波束数目，但是可以通过多个参考信号凑足终端在某定向区域传输上行参考信号所需的最小发送波束数目。
此外，终端在每个时间片上选择不同的发送波束进行上行参考信号发送时，需要携带同步信号或者测量参考信号中的至少一种上行参考信号，可选的，还需要携带终端自身的身份标识。
其中，所述上行参考信号对应的第一时间区间位于所述上行参考信号所处的上行测量的奇数次传输时间间隔(Transmission Time Interval，TTI)；所述上行参考信号对应的第二时间区间位于所述上行参考信号所处的上行测量的偶数次传输时间间隔。
图5中的第一NoMP是上行参考信号对应的第一时间区间，第二NoMP是上行参考信号对应的第二时间区间，终端在第一NoMP的参考信号对应的M个时间片上，按照第一顺序切换终端的发送波束，如图5所示，终端依次按照发送波束的逻辑序号#0～#(Mb-1)，进行上行参考信号的发送；终端在第二NoMP的参考信号对应的M个时间片上，按照循环移位后的第二顺序切换终端的发送波束，如图5所示，参考信号的前K个循环波束，移位到#Mb-1之后进行切换，即各UE在第二NoMP内发送波束的逻辑序号为#K，#(K+1)，…，#(Mb-1)，#0，…，#(K-1)。
需要说明的是，上述循环移位的K个波束所占的总时间片长度需大于最大高低频时延。具体的，上述循环移位的波束个数K，可以通过标准预先设定1个或者多个(≥2)值，高频基站根据其覆盖范围等指标优选其一。
换言之，在第一NoMP的参考信号对应的时间区间内，终端以第一顺序依次切换发送波束发送上行参考信号，在第二NoMP的参考信号序列对应的时间区间内，终端以第二顺序依次切换发送波束发送上行参考信号。所述第二顺序是第一顺序的循环移位。
具体的，当一个无线帧内有且仅有一个NoMP时，上述第一NoMP和第二NoMP分别指帧号为偶数的无线帧内的NoMP和帧号为奇数的无线帧内的NoMP；或者上述第一NoMP和第二NoMP分别指帧号为奇数的无线帧内的NoMP和帧号为偶数的无线帧内的NoMP。
具体的，当一个无线帧内有且仅有两个NoMP时，上述第一NoMP和第二NoMP分别为一个无线帧内的第一个NoMP和第二个NoMP；或者上述第一NoMP和第二NoMP分别为一个无线帧内的第二个NoMP和第一个NoMP。
具体的，当一个无线帧内有大于两个NoMP时，以偶数个无线帧为周期，对周期内的NoMP按照时序关系从0开始进行NoMP编号，上述第一NoMP和第二NoMP分别为编号为偶数的NoMP和编号为奇数的NoMP；或者上述第一NoMP和第二NoMP分别为编号为奇数的NoMP和编号为偶数的NoMP。
具体的，每隔多个无线帧出现一个NoMP时，以偶数个NoMP对应的无线帧为周期，对周期内的NoMP按照时序关系从0开始进行NoMP编号，上述第一NoMP和第二NoMP分别为编号为偶数的NoMP和编号为奇数的NoMP；或者上述第一NoMP和第二NoMP分别为编号为奇数的NoMP和编号为偶数的NoMP。
步骤33：高频基站在所述上行参考信号对应的第一时间区间和第二时间区间内，在N 个时间片内的不同时间片切换接收波束，接收终端在所述终端的单个时间片上传输的上行参考信号，N为大于1的正整数。
如图5所示，高频微站侧，在终端的单个时间片持续时间内，高频微站又将其分为N个更小的时间片(tiny slides)，在这些更小的时间片上使用不同的定向接收波束，对终端发送的上行参考信号进行接收。
上述描述中更小的时间片的长度可以是1个符号，也可以为多个(≥2)符号。
需要注意的是，若高频基站的全部接收波束的数量为N，则在终端的单个时间片持续时间内，在这N个时间片上以循环的方式使用接收波束对终端发送的上行参考信号进行接收。
基于图2所示的应用场景示意图，本发明实施例提供一种上行参考信号的传输方法，如图7所示，具体流程包括如下步骤：
步骤71上述图3中的步骤31，因此可以参考上述方法实施例中的相关说明，在此不再赘述。
步骤72：所述终端在到达所述时域资源发送位置后，在所述上行参考信号对应的第一时间区间和第二时间区间内，在M个时间内的不同时间片切换发送波束，传输上行参考信号，所述上行参考信号包括M个不同时间片上传输的上行参考信号，M为大于1的正整数。
其中，所述上行参考信号对应的第一时间区间位于所述上行参考信号所处的上行测量的奇数次传输时间间隔(Transmission Time Interval，TTI)；所述上行参考信号对应的第二时间区间位于所述上行参考信号所处的上行测量的偶数次传输时间间隔。
图8所示为上行参考信号在终端与高频微站之间的传输示意图。在终端侧，终端在各时间片上使用不同的发送波束进行上行参考信号的发送，例如，时间片B0上通过发送波束#0发送参考信号，在时间片B1上通过发送波束#1发送参考信号。具体的，终端在进行上行参考信号的发送时，可以采用以下两种方式：
第一种方式为集中式发送方式，此时，终端的上行参考信号对应的时间片的数量M不少于终端在某定向区域传输上行参考信号所需的最小发送波束数目。例如终端需覆盖0～60°区域，波束宽度为10°，则最小所需发送波束数目为6，M的值需大于等于6。
第二种方式为分布式发送方式，此时，的上行参考信号对应的时间片的数量M小于终端在某定向区域传输上行参考信号所需的最小发送波束数目，但是可以通过多个参考信号凑足终端在某定向区域传输上行参考信号所需的最小发送波束数目。
此外，终端在每个时间片上选择不同的发送波束进行上行参考信号发送时，需要携带同步信号或者测量参考信号中的至少一种上行参考信号，可选的，还需要携带终端自身的身份标识。
在所述上行参考信号对应的第一时间区间和第二时间区间可参阅上述相关描述。
图8中的第一NoMP是上行参考信号对应的第一时间区间，第二NoMP是上行参考信号对应的第二时间区间，终端在第一NoMP和第二NoMP的参考信号对应的M个时间片上，遍历自己的发送波束，进行上行参考信号的发送。
步骤73：高频基站在所述上行参考信号对应的第一时间区间内，在N个时间片内的不同时间片按照第一顺序切换接收波束，接收终端在所述终端的单个时间片上传输的上行参考信号，在所述上行参考信号对应的第二时间区间内，在所述N个时间片内的不同时间片按照第二顺序切换接收波束，接收终端在所述终端的单个时间片上传输的上行参考信号。
如图8所示，高频微站侧，在终端的单个时间片持续时间内，高频微站又将其分为N 个更小的时间片(tiny slides)，在这些更小的时间片上使用不同的定向接收波束，对终端发送的上行参考信号进行接收。
上述描述中更小的时间片的长度可以是1个符号，也可以为多个(≥2)符号。
在第一NoMP中，在终端单次发送波束持续时间内，高频基站按照第一顺序切换自己的接收波束，例如图8中，高频基站依次按照接收波束的逻辑序号为#0～#(Nb-1)，对终端发送的上行参考信号进行接收；在第二NoMP中，在终端单次发送波束持续时间内，高频基站改变自己的接收波束切换顺序，按照循环移位后的接收波束逻辑顺序切换自己的接收波束，如图8所示，参考信号的前K个循环波束，移位到#(Nb-1)之后进行切换，即基站侧在第二NoMP内接收波束的逻辑序号为#K，#(K+1)，…，#(Nb-1)，#0，…，#(K-1)。
换言之，在第一NoMP的参考信号对应的时间区间内，各高频基站以第一顺序依次切换接收波束接收参考信号，在第二NoMP的参考信号对应的时间区间内，各高频基站以第二顺序依次切换接收波束接收参考信号。所述第二顺序是第一顺序的循环移位。
需要说明的是，上述循环移位的K个波束所占的总时间片长度需大于最大高低频时延。具体的，上述循环移位的波束个数K，可以通过标准预先设定1个或者多个(≥2)值，高频基站根据其覆盖范围等指标优选其一。
上述NoMP间隔中的上行参考信号在终端侧被分为若干时间片，每个时间片由若干符号构成，用于同步或测量的参考信号就是由这些符号承载的，不同终端的上行参考信的资源分配方法可以采用如下正交设计方式。
方式一，码分正交。如图6A所示，不同终端的上行参考信号使用不同的、具有良好互相关特性的正交序列进行编码，以确保接收端可以从时频混合信号中分离出目标参考信号。
方式二，频分正交。如图6B所示，对于多载波系统，可以让不同终端的上行参考信号承载在符号的不同子载波上，通过频域正交的方式避免时域未对齐造成的干扰。
方式三，波分正交。如图6C所示，由于高频微站采用定向波束，可以让不同终端在同一时刻使用不同定向波束指向的波束发送各自的参考信号，这种方法也称为波束的空间复用。
方式四，上述三种方式的任意两种组合或三种组合。当终端数目较多时，可以将上述三种方式任意两种或三种进行混合，例如将终端分成几组，组间采用一种正交复用方式，组内终端再采取另一种正交复用方式。
需要说明的是，上述图3和图7中所示的上行参考信号的传输方法同样适用于图9所示的多个高频基站混合组网的应用场景中，具体包括：终端和多个高频微站，其中，多个高频基站混合组网场景下的高频基站可以是高频宏站，也可以是高频宏站。

图10中，采用10毫秒作为一个无线帧(frame)的帧长；该无线帧由10个帧长为1毫秒的无线子帧(subframe)组成；一个无线子帧又被划分成8个长度为0.125毫秒的时隙(time slot)；其中，每个时隙由Q个符号构成，该符号可以是单载波符号，也可以是多载波符号，如OFDM符号。典型的Q值可以设置为7n，其中，n为正整数。这些时隙又被分为上行时隙和下行时隙。
其中，本发明中的NoMP被放置在某个子帧的某个上行时隙中，既可以是上行时隙头部，也可以是上行时隙尾部。例如，图8中NoMP被放置在第2个子帧的第8个时隙(该时隙为上行时隙)的尾部。
实施例二
如图11A和图11B所示，实施例二给出了另一种应用于图2所示的高频微站与低频宏站混合组网或图9所示的多个高频基站混合组网的通信系统中的帧结构。其中，多个高频基站混合组网场景下的高频基站可以是高频微站，也可以是高频宏站。
如图11A所示，与实施例一不同的是，由于上行参考信号在时域资源上不连续，因此传输上行参考信号的NoMP区间也是分布式的，NoMP间隔被分成若干NoMP片段。
图11B中，采用10毫秒作为一个无线帧(frame)的帧长；该无线帧由10个帧长为1毫秒的无线子帧(subframe)组成；一个无线子帧又被划分成8个长度为0.125毫秒的时隙(time slot)；其中，每个时隙由Q个符号构成，该符号可以是单载波符号，也可以是多载波符号，如OFDM符号。典型的Q值可以设置为7n，其中，n为正整数。这些时隙又被分为上行时隙和下行时隙。
其中，本发明中的NoMP片段被放置在某个子帧的某个上行时隙中，既可以是上行时隙头部，也可以是上行时隙尾部。例如，图11B中NoMP片段被放置在第2个子帧的第8个时隙(该时隙为上行时隙)的尾部。
