2) The different partial bits of the SFN are indicated by different demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequences. The mapping relationship between the DMRS sequence and the partial bits of the SFN needs to be pre-configured. For example, the mapping relationship between the DMRS sequence and the SFN bit is as follows: 9 is shown.

Table 9

Among them, as shown in Table 9,

Indicates the DMRS sequence, and l indicates the information (0 to n) on the partial bits of the SFN indicated by the sequence, which is different.

Corresponding to l, where m=0, 1, ..., L ^DMRS -1, L ^DMRS represents the length of the DMRS sequence, and M, N and L ^DMRS are both positive integers. The user equipment can determine the information on the partial bits of the SFN according to the above mapping relationship and the detected DMRS sequence.

Different from the mapping relationship in 1), the mapping relationship between the DMRS sequence and the information on the partial bits of the SFN can also be configured by the generation of the DMRS sequence, that is, the DMRS sequence is generated based on at least the partial information of the SFN that needs to be indicated. The mapping relationship between the DMRS sequence and the part of the SFN indicated by it is determined.

For example, if the DMRS sequence generated based on the SFN is a pseudo-random sequence, it may be generated by the following method (8):

Where l=0,1,...,N-1 represents the SFN indicated by the sequence,

Indicates the number of resource blocks (RBs) occupied by the DMRS. For example, the DMRS in each RB occupies 2 REs, that is,

The pseudo-random sequence c(n) is generated based on a Gold sequence of length 31:

c(n)=(x ₁ (n+N _C )+x ₂ (n+N _C ))mod2

x ₁ (n+31)=(x ₁ (n+3)+x ₁ (n)) mod2

x ₂ (n+31)=(x ₂ (n+3)+x ₂ (n+2)+x ₂ (n+1)+x ₂ (n)) mod2

Where N _C = 1600, and the initial value of the first m-sequence is x ₁ (0) = 1, x ₁ (n) = 0, n = 1, 2, ..., 30. The initial value of the second m sequence is

If the DMRS sequence is generated based only on the SFN, the initial value of the second m sequence is, for example:

c _init =l (9)

If the DMRS sequence is generated based on SFN and other information, for example, the initial value of the second m sequence is, for example,

If the DMRS sequence is generated based on SFN, PCI, and CP length, for example, the initial value of the second m sequence is, for example,

The bits determine the information on a portion of the SFN.

3) The CRC mask of the different cyclic redundancy check (CRC) carried by the scrambling PBCH indicates information on partial bits of different SFNs, wherein when the SS block is transmitted, the corresponding CRC mask is selected according to the SFN. To interfere with the CRC of the transport block carried by the PBCH, the mapping relationship between the CRC mask sequence and the information on the partial bits of the SFN needs to be pre-configured. Table 12 below shows the mapping relationship between the CRC mask and the information on the partial bits.
