Similarly, beam matching is also required when the terminal device transmits information to the base station.

具体实施方式
下面结合附图,对本发明的实施例进行描述。
首选,对本申请中涉及的部分术语及相关技术进行解释说明,以方便理解:
1)终端设备
本申请中的终端设备是一种具有无限通信功能的设备,可以是具有无线通信功能的手持设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备等。在不同的网络中终端设备可以叫做不同的名称,例如:用户设备、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置、蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(Session Initiation Protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)、5G网络或未来演进网络中的终端设备等。
2)基站
本申请中的基站也可以称为基站设备,是一种部署在无线接入网用以提供无线通信功能的设备,可以是全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile communication,简称GSM)或码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,简称CDMA)中的基站(Base Transceiver Station,简称BTS),也可以是宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,简称WCDMA)中的基站(NodeB,简称NB),还可以是长期演进(Long Term Evolution,简称LTE)中的演进型基站(Evolutional Node B,简称eNB或eNodeB),或者中继站或接入点,NR系统中的传输节点或收发点(transmission reception point,TRP或者TP)或者下一代节点B(generation nodeB,gNB),无线保真(Wireless-Fidelity,Wi-Fi)的站点、无线回传节点、小站、微站,或者未来第五代移动通信(the 5th Generation Mobile Communication,5G)网络中的基站等,本申请在此并不限定。
3)随机接入过程;
终端设备随机接入基站的过程主要包括:
1,终端设备向基站发送随机接入消息1,消息1中包括随机接入前导码;
2,基站向终端设备发送随机接入的响应消息,即消息2,用于分配传输消息3的上行时频资源和接收消息4的C-RNTI;
3,终端设备向基站发送消息3,所述消息3中可以携带无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接请求和逻辑信道的缓存状态报告(Buffer Size Report,BSR);
4,基站向终端设备发送消息4,终端设备通过所述C-RNTI接收消息4。
随机接入分为竞争性随机接入和非竞争性随机接入。在基于竞争的随机接入方式中,对于终端设备而言,随机接入信道(random access channel,RACH)是一个资源池可供选择,不同的终端设备可以使用相同的RACH,从而造成资源竞争的产生。
4)时间提前量TA
TA是终端设备发送上行信号时需要提前的时间,即终端设备向基站发送信号时需要提前的时间。每个终端设备根据其与基站的距离,采用对应的TA发送信号,才能保证所有终端设备的信号同时到达基站。终端设备需要采用正确的TA才能成功发送信号给基站。在随机接入过程中,TA是基站通过接收消息1时测量出来的,并通过消息2发送给终端设备,终端设备用获取到的TA发送后续的消息。基站从多个接收波束接收到终端设备发送的消息1,可以测出每个消息1对应的TA。
5)波束
波束(beam)可以理解为空间资源,可以指具有能量传输指向性的发送或接收预编码向量。并且,该发送或接收预编码向量能够通过索引信息进行标识。其中,所述能量传输指向性可以指在一定空间位置内,接收经过该预编码向量进行预编码处理后的信号具有较好的接收功率,如满足接收解调信噪比等;所述能量传输指向性也可以指通过该预编码向量接收来自不同空间位置发送的相同信号具有不同的接收功率。
可选地,同一通信设备(比如终端设备或网络设备)可以有不同的预编码向量,不同的设备也可以有不同的预编码向量,即对应不同的波束。针对通信设备的配置或者能力,一个通信设备在同一时刻可以使用多个不同的预编码向量中的一个或者多个,即同时可以形成一个或多个波束。波束的信息可以通过索引信息进行标识。可选地,所述索引信息可以对应配置UE的资源标识,比如,所述索引信息可以对应配置的信道状态信息参考信号(Channel status information Reference Signal,CSI-RS)的ID或者资源,也可以对应配置的上行探测参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal,SRS)的ID或者资源。或者,可选地,所述索引信息也可以是通过波束承载的信号或信道显示或隐式承载的索引信息,比如,所述索引信息可以是通过波束发送的同步信号或者广播信道指示该波束的索引信息。
beam pair可以包括发送端的发送波束和接收端的接收波束,或者,也称作上行波束或下行波束。比如,beam pair可以包括gNB Tx beam传输波束或UE Rx beam接收波束,或者,UE Tx beam传输波束或gNB Rx beam接收波束,其中,传输波束还可以理解为发送波束。
6)通信资源
在本申请中,通信资源也可以简称为资源。通信资源可用于传输信号。通信资源具有多种类型。例如:从物理特性的角度,通信资源的类型可以是空间资源,时域资源,和频域资源。例如:从不同的表现形式的角度,通信资源的类型可以是波束,端口等。不同种类的通信资源的集合也是一种通信资源。例如:时频资源(包括时域资源和频域资源)是一种通信资源,波束和端口的组合也是一种通信资源。
7)其他术语
本文中的术语“多个”是指两个或两个以上。
本文中术语“和/或”,仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,本文中字符“/”,一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
本申请中的术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此,限定有“第一”、“第二”的特征 可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征。
图1为基站的发送波束和终端设备的接收波束的一种实现场景的示意图。如图1所示,图中一个椭圆代表一个波束,当基站向终端设备发送信息时,只有处于中间的发送波束的信号可以到达终端设备,终端设备也只能从中间的接收波束上接收信号。其他波束都无法接收信号。因此,基站要向终端设备发送信息,就需要先进行波束匹配,确定正确的基站的发送波束和终端设备的接收波束。同样的,终端设备向基站发送信息时也需要进行波束匹配。然而,在终端设备刚接入小区时,其与基站的发送波束和接收波束还未匹配。这时,要进行信息的发送与接收,就需要先进行波束扫描。例如,基站在接收随机接入过程中的消息1时,需要使用多个接收波束去分别接收消息1,才能收到消息1并确定正确的接收波束。
并且,在终端设备初始接入过程中,为了实现较好的覆盖,基站可以使用较高的发射功率,从而使得基站的发送波束的角度较宽。然而,对于终端设备而言,由于其能量受限,其无法使用太高的功率,导致终端设备的发送波束往往较窄。基站为了获得较高的接收增益,也会使用相应较窄的接收波束去接收。这就导致基站从较宽的波束发送信号,却从较窄的波束接收信号的情景,例如图2所示的场景。图2中,基站的发送波束宽,接收波束窄,一个发送波束覆盖了两个接收波束的范围。
此外,终端设备在随机接入之前,可以通过接收同步信号的方式确定基站的发送波束。即终端设备可以确定基站的哪个发送波束是对准自己的,并将确定的基站的发送波束通过随机接入过程中的消息1通知基站。终端设备通知的方法是基于基站的发送波束与终端设备发送的消息1所采用的时频资源的关联关系。即基站接收终端设备发送的消息1时,测得该终端设备发送消息1时使用的时频资源,根据时频资源与发送波束的对应关系,基站可以获知它的哪个发送波束是对准该终端设备的。采用这种技术会导致,基站的同一发送波束覆盖范围内的终端设备,都会采用同一时频资源来发送消息1。如果多个终端设备又刚好使用了同一前导码(在基于竞争的随机接入过程中,消息1发送的前导码是终端设备自己选择的),基站无法区分这些消息1是来自于同一个终端设备还是多个终端设备,因为前导码和时频资源都一样。
因此,当基站采用波束扫描接收消息1,从多个接收波束收到相同的消息1(消息1中有相同的时频资源和前导码)时,基站无法确定这些消息1是来自于同一个终端设备还是多个终端设备。如图3(a)所示,基站通过接收波束1和接收波束2接收到的是同一个终端设备(终端设备1)发送的消息1。如图3(b)所示,基站通过接收波束1和接收波束2接收到的是不同终端设备(终端设备2和终端设备3)发送的消息1。在这两种情况下,如果终端设备又刚好使用了同一前导码,基站是无法区分这些消息1是来自于同一个终端设备还是多个终端设备。
在这种情况下,通常的做法是基站发送多个消息2。基站发送多个消息2会占用一定的时频资源,造成时频资源的占用和消耗。
本申请实施例提供一种通信方法和设备,以减少随机接入过程中因发送多个消息2对时频资源的占用和消耗。
下面以终端设备1和终端设备2位于基站的一个发送波束的覆盖范围内,基站通过接收波束1接收终端设备1发送的消息,通过接收波束2接收终端设备2发送的消息;且终 端设备1和终端设备2使用相同的前导码发起随机接入为例进行说明。可以理解,对于三个以上的终端设备在基站的一个发送波束内进行随机接入时的实现方式,可以参照本申请实施例两个终端设备在基站的一个发送波束内进行随机接入时的实现方式来实现,不再赘述。
图4是本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法实现的流程示意图。如图4所示,所述方法包括:
步骤101:终端设备1和终端设备2分别向基站发送随机接入的消息1,基站分别接收终端设备1和终端设备2发送的消息1;
具体的,基站通过接收波束1接收终端设备1发送的随机接入的消息1,基站通过接收波束2接收终端设备2发送的随机接入的消息1。
步骤102:基站测量接收每个消息1时所使用的接收波束所对应的TA,并判断测量得到的多个TA中任意两个TA的差值;
如果测得的任意两个TA的差值大于预设的阈值,则执行图4中的步骤103A-步骤106A;如果测得的任意两个TA的差值小于预设的阈值,则执行图5中的步骤103B-步骤106B。
本实施例是以两个终端设备为例进行说明,例如终端设备1通过基站的接收波束1发送消息1,则基站测量接收波束1对应的TA,即终端设备1发送消息1时的TA为TA1;终端设备2通过基站的接收波束2发送消息1,则基站测量接收波束2对应的TA,即终端设备2发送消息1时的TA为TA2。基站比较TA1与TA2的差值是否大于预设的阈值。
步骤103A:当测得的多个TA中任意两个TA的差值大于预设的阈值时,基站从所述多个TA中选择一个TA作为第一TA,发送一个随机接入的消息2,所述消息2中包括所述第一TA;
当测量得到TA1与TA2大于预设的阈值时,说明终端设备1和终端设备2与基站的距离的差距较大。这种情况下,基站发送的一个消息2,且所述消息2中只包括一个TA,即所述第一TA。因为只发送一个随机接入的消息2,不用发送两个不同的消息2,减少了随机接入过程中因发送多个随机接入的消息2造成的时频资源的占用和消耗。可以理解,当终端设备的数量为3个以上时,能够减少的时频资源会更多。
可选的,基站选择TA时,可以选择信号强度最强的接收波束对应的TA作为所述第一TA。例如,接收波束1和接收波束2中,接收波束1的信号强度最强,则将终端设备1发送消息1时的TA1作为所述第一TA。选择信号强度最强的接收波束,能够保证后续收发消息时的成功率,进而提高随机接入的成功率,随机接入的可靠性高。
可选的,基站选择信号最强的接收波束,可以通过测量各个接收波束上收到的信号的能量强度,例如参考信号平均能量强度,来判断哪个接收波束的信号强度最高。所述参考信号包括但不限于:解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS)或SRS等。
具体实现时,基站发送消息2时使用的发送波束,是终端设备发送消息1所使用的时频资源对应的发送波束。由于终端设备1和终端设备2位于基站的一个发送波束的覆盖范围内,基站发送的消息2,终端设备1和终端设备2都能够接收到。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的阈值可以基于具体的场景进行不同的设置,本申请实施例不限定具体的阈值。只要能够有效的区分不同的终端设备并满足随机接入的条件,都可以作为本申请实施例中所述的阈值。
步骤104A:终端设备1和终端设备2在接收到所述消息2后,分别向基站发送消息3;
终端设备1和终端设备2在发送消息3时,会携带从所述消息2中获取的所述第一TA。例如,终端设备1向基站发送的消息3中包括所述第一TA,终端设备2向基站发送的消息3中也包括所述第一TA。这时,终端设备1和终端设备2发送的消息3中携带的TA是相同的,都是所述第一TA。
步骤105A:基站通过所述第一TA所对应的接收波束接收消息3;
例如,基站选择接收波束1对应的TA作为所述第一TA则终端设备1发送的消息3能够被成功接收,终端设备2发送的消息3不会被接收。终端设备2在此次随机接入过程中接入失败,可以随机回退一段时间后重新发送随机接入的消息1。
这样,只有TA与所述第一TA相同的终端设备才能成功发送随机接入的消息3,能够限定一个终端设备的随机接入,解决了终端设备1和终端设备2同时使用相同的前导码发起随机接入造成的冲突的问题。
步骤106A:基站向终端设备发送随机接入的消息4。
基站可以基于接收到的随机接入的消息3,向终端设备1发送随机接入的消息4。
如果在步骤102中,基站测得的多个TA中任意两个TA的差值小于预设的阈值,则本申请实施例提供的方法如图5所示。图5中,在执行步骤101和步骤102之后,所述方法还包括:
步骤103B:当测得的多个TA中任意两个TA的差值小于预设的阈值时,基站确定第二TA,并发送一个随机接入的消息2;所述消息2中包括所述第二TA和指示终端设备发送消息3的次数的信息。
其中,所述第二TA可以是基站按照预设规则,对接收波束1对应的TA1和接收波束2对应的TA2按照预设规则得到的。所述预设规则包括但不限于:取TA1和TA2的平均值或与平均值接近的值、取TA1和TA2中最大值的TA、取TA1和TA2中最小值的TA或信号强度最大的接收波束对应的TA。
可选的,所述第二TA的值也可以是其它能够代表多个TA的值,这样每个终端设备从消息2中接收到所述第二TA后,都能够向基站发送消息3并能够发送成功。
具体的,基站在发送消息2时,是使用终端设备发送消息1时的时频资源所对应的发送波束发送所述消息2。由于终端设备1和终端设备2位于基站的一个发送波束的覆盖范围内,终端设备1发送消息1时的时频资源对应的基站的发送波束与终端设备2发送消息1时的时频资源对应的基站的发送波束相同。因此,终端设备1和终端设备2都能够接收到基站发送的同一个消息2。
可选的,基站指示终端设备发送消息3的次数,可以根据基站接收消息1时所使用的接收波束的数量来确定。例如,基站指示终端设备发送消息3的次数与基站接收消息1时所使用的接收波束的数量相同。本实施例中,基站分别通过两个不同的接收波束(接收波束1和接收波束2)接收终端设备1和终端设备2发送的消息1,则在消息2中指示终端设备发送消息3的次数为2次。可以理解,当基站通过N个接收波束接收N个或M个终端设备发送的消息1时,基站在消息2中指示终端设备发送消息3的次数为N次。其中,N和M为大于0的整数,且M大于或等于N。
可选的,基站指示终端设备发送消息3的次数,可以在所述消息2中通过新增一个字 段来指示,也可以复用消息2中已有的字段来指示,本申请实施例不限定基站指示的方式。例如,在LTE中,消息2包括的字段有:重传消息1的随机回退参数字段(用于计算随机回退时间)、消息1采用的随机序列ID字段(用于终端设备辨识该消息2是响应的哪个消息1)、TA字段、用于发送消息3的上行资源调度(UL-grant)字段和用于接收消息4的C-RNTI的字段。基站可以在消息2中再增加一个字段来指示终端设备发送消息3的次数,也可以复用重传消息1的随机回退参数字段、消息1采用的随机序列ID字段、TA字段、UL-grant字段和C-RNTI字段中的任何一个来指示终端设备发送消息3的次数。
可选的,所述消息2中还可以包括指示终端设备每次发送消息3时使用的时频资源的信息。基站在消息2中指示了终端设备发送消息3的次数,是为了能够接收到所有终端设备发送的消息3。为了保证所有终端设备都能够成功发送消息3,可以指示终端设备每次发送消息3时所使用的时频资源。
具体的,所述消息2中包括的指示终端设备每次发送消息3时所使用的时频资源,是与接收消息1时使用的接收波束有管理关系的时频资源。例如,本实施例中,所述消息2中包括的指示终端设备每次发送消息3时所使用的时频资源,是与接收波束1和接收波束2中的一个有关联关系的时频资源。即终端设备根据所述消息2中指示的每次发送消息3时使用的时频资源发送消息3时,基站能够通过接收波束1或接收波束2接收到。
基站指示终端设备每次发送消息3时所使用的时频资源可以不同。可选的,基站指示终端设备每次发送消息3时所使用的时频资源可以是连续TTI上的时频资源。
步骤104B:终端设备1和终端设备2在接收到所述同一个消息2后,分别向基站发送消息3;
终端设备1和终端设备2分别按照所述消息2中指示的发送消息3的次数发送消息3。例如,所述消息2中指示发送消息3的次数是2次,则终端设备1发送两次消息3,终端设备2也发送两次消息3。
可选的,当基站发送的消息2中还包括指示终端设备每次发送消息3时所使用的时频资源的信息时,终端设备1和终端设备2分别按照消息2的指示,在指示的各次发送消息3的时频资源上发送消息3。
例如,终端设备1对应基站的接收波束1,终端设备2对应基站的接收波束2。基站在发送的消息2中指示发送两次消息3,并在连续的两个TTI上发送消息3。则在第一个TTI上,终端设备1和终端设备2分别发送一次消息3;在第二个TTI上,终端设备1和终端设备2分别发送一次消息3。
并且,终端设备在发送消息3时,还会携带从消息2中获取的所述第二TA。例如,终端设备1向基站发送的消息3中包括所述消息2中携带的所述第二TA,终端设备2向基站发送的消息3中也包括所述消息2中携带的所述第二TA。
步骤105B:基站接收终端设备1和终端设备2发送的消息3;
可选的,当基站发送的消息2中还包括指示终端设备每次发送消息3时使用的时频资源的信息时,基站在各个对应的时频资源上接收消息3。
例如,终端设备1对应基站的接收波束1,终端设备2对应基站接收波束2;基站发送的消息2中指示在连续的两个TTI上的发送消息3,终端设备1和终端设备2分别在连续的两个TTI上发送消息3。则在第一个TTI上,基站通过接收波束1可以接收到终端设备1 发送的消息3。在第二个TTI上,基站可以通过接收波束2收到终端设备2发送的消息3。
这样,通过两个接收波束,基站可以收到终端设备1和终端设备2发送的消息3。能够解决基站无法同时从不同的接收波束接收多个终端设备发送的消息3的问题。基站可以通过时分的方式,接收到所有终端设备发送的消息3。
步骤106B:基站向终端设备发送消息4。
具体的,基站可以通过接收到的消息3判断这些消息3是来自于一个终端设备还是多个终端设备。例如,基站可以根据接收到的消息3中携带的终端设备的ID,判断是一个终端设备发送的消息3还是多个终端设备发送的消息3。
如果接收到的消息3来自于一个终端设备,则基站只发送一个消息4。
如果接收到的消息3来自于多个终端设备,则需要给每个终端设备都发送一个消息4。例如基站可以在不同的时间,分别发送不同的消息4。每个终端设备在接收到消息4后判断接收到的消息4中包含的ID是否与自己的ID相同。如果相同则接收该消息4,如果不同则抛弃该消息4,并继续侦听控制信道以接收消息4。直至接收到的消息4中包含的ID是否与自己的ID相同,说明接收到的消息4是发送给自己的,则不再继续接收消息4;或者随机接入竞争计时器超时,接收消息4失败,不再接收消息4。
由于在步骤103B中,基站只发送了一个消息2,所述消息2中包括一个TA(所述第二TA),导致部分终端设备或所有的终端设备虽然成功发送了消息3,但是其发送的消息3中的TA值不完全正确,因此基站需要通过消息4给TA不正确的终端设备发送正确的TA。同时,基站在所述消息2中只指定了一个临时C-RNTI,而各个终端设备需要在随机接入结束后拥有小区中唯一的C-RNTI。所以,只有一个终端设备可以继续使用该临时C-RNTI作为正式的C-RNTI,其余终端设备均需要重新被指定C-RNTI。因此,基站需要在发送的消息4中携带修正的C-RNTI。
为了使每个终端设备都能够成功完成随机接入,基站在发送的消息4中需要携带修正的TA和C-RNTI,例如可以通过两个字段携带修正的TA和C-RNTI。
可选的,基站可以在消息4中新增两个字段来携带修正的TA和C-RNTI,也可以直接修改已有的TA和C-RNTI字段为修正后的TA和C-RNTI,还可以复用已有的字段携带修正的TA和C-RNTI。
下面以基站在消息4中增加两个字段携带修正的TA和C-RNTI为例,对基站通过消息4向终端设备发送修正的TA和C-RNTI进行说明。
关于TA的修正:基站先判断接收消息3时测得的TA是否与该消息3中携带的TA相同。终端设备在消息3中携带的TA是所述第二TA,基站接收消息3时测得的TA是每个终端设备发送消息3时具体的TA。如果两者不同,就需要修正TA。即基站将接收消息3时测得的TA的值作为该终端设备的修正的TA的值,并在消息4中增加一个字段,该字段用于记录所述修正的TA的值。
关于C-RNTI的修正:当基站确定有多个终端设备在进行随机接入时,只有一个终端设备可以继续使用该临时C-RNTI,不需要修正C-RNTI;对于其它终端设备,基站发送的消息4中携带修正的C-RNTI,以保证每个终端设备都有一个唯一的C-RNTI。
每个终端设备收到基站发送的消息4后,先根据消息4中携带的ID判断是否与自己的ID相同。如果相同,则确认该消息4是发送给自己的,则读取消息4中新增的TA字段和 C-RNTI字段。
可选的,如果终端设备从TA字段或C-RNTI字段读取的值是特定的值(例如是全0),则表示不需要修正TA或C-RNTI,终端设备可以继续使用接收到的消息2中携带的TA或C-RNTI。如果终端设备从TA字段或C-RNTI字段读取的值不是特定的值,终端设备获取这两个字段的内容,并对更新其TA和C-RNTI。
这样,基站通过只发送一个消息2,可以实现多个终端设备同时随机接入,能够避免发送多个消息2所造成的时频资源的浪费,并解决了多个终端设备使用相同的时频资源和前导码发送消息1时造成的随机接入冲突的问题。
上述实施例以两个终端设备发起的随机接入为例进行说明的。当有3个以上的终端设备在基站的一个发送波束的覆盖范围内,且使用相同的随机接入前导码发送消息1时,可能会存在3个以上不同的TA。例如,基站测量后有5个不同的TA,其中两个TA的差值大于预设的阈值,三个TA的差值小于预设的阈值。在这种情况下,基站可以对差值大于预设阈值的TA所对应的终端设备参照上述步骤103A-步骤106A的实现方式来实现;对差值小于预设阈值的TA所对应的终端设备参照上述步骤103B-步骤106B的实现方式来实现。不再赘述。
