Description

获取定时偏差的方法及相关设备 技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及获取定时偏差的方法及相关设备。
背景技术
目前，通信技术得到高速发展，以满足用户日益增长的通信需求。比如，为了满足用户的容量需求和覆盖需求，双连接(英文：Dual Connection，缩写：DC)技术得到广泛应用。双连接技术是指通过多个基站为一个用户设备提供服务的技术，长期演进(英文：Long Term Evolution，缩写：LTE)网络存在双连接的部署，用户设备(英文：User Equipment，缩写：UE)可以同时与主基站(英文：Master Node，缩写：MN)和辅基站(英文：Secondary Node，缩写：SN)建立连接以进行信令和数据的交互，从而能够有效提高UE特别是小区边缘的UE的吞吐量，且通过维持主基站连接可以极大的降低UE的切换失败率，减少由于频繁切换产生的UE面向核心网的信令。该架构下，UE测量与MN和SN之间的定时偏差信息并上报给MN，使得MN能够根据该定时偏差信息确定系统配置参数，例如非连续接收(英文：Discontinuous Reception，缩写：DRX)、功控模式等等，以增强系统间的同步性能。
为了满足未来5G网络灵活部署的需求，3GPP定义了不同类型的子载波间隔配置，包括15KHz，30KHz，60KHz，120KHz，240KHz等等；而LTE网络只定义一种类型的子载波间隔配置，即15KHz。目前，LTE网络下UE可通过测量MN的主服务小区和SN的主服务小区之间的系统帧号(英文：System Frame Number，缩写：SFN)和子帧定时偏差(英文：SFN and Subframe Timing Difference，缩写：SSTD)，具体内容包括SFN偏差、帧边界的偏差和子帧边界的偏差三项测量结果，并将测量结果上报给MN。其中，SFN偏差包括整数个系统帧；帧边界的偏差包括整数个子帧；子帧边界的偏差包括整数个10Ts，1个Ts为1/(15000*2048)秒。但是，随着通信网络的不断发展，未来5G网络的传输时间间隔(英文：Transmission Time Interval，缩写：TTI)缩短为一个时隙，要求较低的通信处理时延，如果系统间定时偏差仍旧只包括SFN偏差和子帧定时偏差，则不能满足5G网络的处理时间精度要求，导致获取的系统间定时偏差的可靠性较低。

其中，关于帧边界的偏差，通信设备通过换算处理后，得到整数个子帧，最多可以为10个子帧的偏差，即小于或者等于一个系统帧所对应的时间单元的长度。
其中，关于子帧边界的偏差，通信设备通过换算处理后，得到实数个时隙，即整数个或者分数个时隙，并且子帧边界的偏差小于或者等于一个子帧所对应的时间单元的长度，即1ms。例如，如果用于子帧边界的偏差处理的时间单元(即时隙)的长度较小，即对应较大的子载波间隔配置信息，那么子帧边界的偏差可以包括整数个时隙；通信设备可以将两个系统子帧边界的定时信息之间的差值按照时隙粒度向下取整，进而得到子帧边界的偏差。如果用于处理的时间单元(即时隙)的长度较大，即对应较小的子载波间隔配置信息，那么子帧边界的偏差可以包括分数个时隙；通信设备可以将两个系统子帧边界的定时信息之间的差值按照时隙粒度截断选取下述比值中的一项，例如0，1/8，1/4，3/8，1/2，5/8，3/4，7/8等，即M/(2的N次方)，M和N都为整数，进而得到子帧边界的偏差。不同子载波间隔配置信息之间的比例固定为2的N次方。

可选的，定时偏差信息还可以包括微时隙边界的偏差，微时隙边界的偏差可以包括整数个最小时间单元。
可选的，如果子帧长度等于时隙长度，则无需获取子帧边界的偏差，可降低系统开销。也就是说，当子帧长度等于时隙长度时，通信设备测量的定时偏差信息可以包括：SFN偏差，帧边界的偏差以及时隙边界的偏差，其中，子帧边界的偏差默认为0。
可选的，通信设备将第一系统的帧边界，子帧边界或时隙边界作为第一边界，并将第二系统的帧边界，子帧边界或时隙边界作为第二边界；根据第一系统和第二系统各自的子载波间隔配置信息，确定用于获取定时偏差信息的测量边界；其中，测量边界为第一边界， 和/或第二边界。
可选的，第一系统和所述第二系统各自的子载波间隔配置信息不同，所述测量边界是所述第一系统的帧边界，子帧边界或时隙边界，所述第一系统的子载波间隔小于第二系统的子载波间隔，第一系统的各边界分别与第二系统的对应边界在时间上对齐。
以图3所示的定时偏差的结构示意图为例，子载波间隔为15KHz的系统、子载波间隔为30KHz的系统以及子载波间隔为60KHz的系统，在#0子帧边界满足在时间上对齐；子载波间隔为30KHz的系统在#1子帧的1时隙边界与子载波间隔为60KHz的系统在#1子帧的3时隙边界满足在时间上对齐。另外，子载波间隔为30KHz的系统在#1子帧的1时隙边界与子载波间隔为60KHz的系统在#1子帧的2时隙边界不满足在时间上对齐。
可选的，通信设备根据所述第一参考信号和所述第二参考信号，测量所述第一系统与所述第二系统之间的定时偏差信息，具体可以为：通信设备将所述第一系统的帧边界，子帧边界或时隙边界作为第一边界，并将所述第二系统的帧边界，子帧边界或时隙边界作为第二边界；确定测量边界，测量边界为第一边界或第二边界；记录测量边界所在系统的第一定时信息，并记录测量边界对应到另一系统的第二定时信息；计算第一定时信息和第二定时信息之间的差值；对差值进行处理，得到第一系统与第二系统之间的边界偏差。
以图4所示的定时偏差信息测量的结构示意图为例，通信设备根据LTE系统定时(LTE Timing)确定LTE系统的子帧边界作为测量边界，通信设备记录LTE系统的子帧边界所在LTE系统的第一定时信息，并且记录LTE的子帧边界对应到NR系统的第二定时信息，第二定时信息隶属于NR系统定时(NR Timing)。通信设备计算第一定时信息和第二定时信息之间的差值，并且通过换算处理，得到定时偏差信息。
需要说明的是，第一定时信息可以包括整数个SFN、整数个子帧、整数个时隙以及整数个最小时间单元的总和，还可能包括整数个微时隙。第二定时信息可以包括整数个SFN、整数个子帧、整数个时隙以及整数个最小时间单元的总和，还可以包括整数个微时隙。通过第一定时信息的SFN与第二定时信息的SFN之间的差值，得到定时偏差信息所包括的SFN偏差；剩余的第一定时信息和剩余的第二定时信息之间的差值，需要按照各个时间单元(包括子帧、时隙、微时隙等)的长度，分别通过换算处理，得到定时偏差信息所包括的边界偏差，即包括子帧边界的偏差或时隙边界的偏差中的至少一项，以及帧边界的偏差。
可选的，通信设备根据第一参考信号和第二参考信号，测量第一系统与第二系统之间的定时偏差信息，具体可以为：通信设备通过时钟记录绝对时间；确定第一系统的测量边界相对绝对时间的第一时间，并确定第二系统的测量边界相对绝对时间的第二时间，其中，第一系统的测量边界为第一系统的帧边界，子帧边界或时隙边界，第二系统的测量边界为第二系统的帧边界，子帧边界或时隙边界；计算第一时间和第二时间之间的差值；通信设备对差值进行处理，得到第一系统与第二系统之间的边界偏差。可选的，该时钟通常为高精度时钟。
以图5所示的定时偏差信息测量的结构示意图为例，通信设备通过一个时钟(例如高精度时钟MC)记录绝对时间。通信设备根据LTE系统定时(LTE Timing)确定一个LTE系统的子帧边界和根据NR系统定时(NR Timing)确定一个NR系统的子帧边界作为测量边界，并且记录LTE系统的子帧边界相对MC绝对时间的第一时间和NR系统的子帧边界相对MC 绝对时间的第二时间，计算第一时间和第二时间之间的差值，将差值通过换算处理，得到定时偏差信息。
需要说明的是，将差值按照系统帧的时间单元的长度向下取整，得到定时偏差信息所包括的SFN偏差；将剩余的差值按照各个时间单元(包括子帧、时隙、微时隙等)的长度，分别通过换算处理，得到定时偏差信息所包括的边界偏差，即包括子帧边界的偏差或时隙边界的偏差中的至少一项，以及帧边界的偏差。例如，如果确定时隙边界为测量边界，LTE系统的时隙边界的位置确定为[10，2，3]，NR系统的时隙边界的位置确定为[10，2，3]，那么LTE的时隙边界相对MC绝对时间的第一时间和NR的时隙边界相对MC绝对时间的第二时间之间的差值，通过换算处理，得到定时偏差信息；如果LTE系统的时隙边界的位置确定为[10，2，3]，NR系统的时隙边界的位置确定为[11，3，3]，那么第一时间和第二时间之间的差值，需要扣除时隙边界的位置之间的差值[1，1，0]，然后通过换算处理，得到定时偏差信息。其中[10，2，3]表示SFN等于10，子帧等于2，时隙等于3；[11，3，3]表示SFN等于11，子帧等于3，时隙等于3；[1，1，0]表示SFN等于1，子帧等于1，时隙等于0。
需要说明的是，通信设备可以结合图4和图5所示的定时偏差信息测量的结构示意图，进行定时偏差信息的测量，例如：通信设备可以通过一个MC时钟记录绝对时间；将第一系统的帧边界，子帧边界或时隙边界作为第一边界，并将第二系统的帧边界，子帧边界或时隙边界作为第二边界；确定测量边界，测量边界为第一边界和第二边界；记录第一边界所在系统的第一定时信息以及相对MC绝对时间的第一时间，并且记录第二边界所在系统的第二定时信息以及相对MC绝对时间的第二时间；计算第一定时信息和第二定时信息之间的第一差值，以及第一定时和第二定时之间的第二差值；第二差值因为绝对时钟到期有可能导致计满清零，因此可以通过第一差值校准第二差值可能的计时误差；对第二差值通过换算处理，得到定时偏差信息。
可选的，通信设备还可以向第一网络设备发送第一指示信息，第一指示信息用于指示定时偏差信息包括的各个偏差对应的时间单元的长度与第一系统的时间单元或第二系统的时间单元的长度相同，时间单元包括帧，子帧，时隙，微时隙或最小时间单元。进一步可选的，当第一指示信息用于指示定时偏差信息包括的各个偏差对应的时间单元的长度与第二系统的时间单元的长度相同时，第一网络设备可以根据第二系统的时间单元的长度，对通信设备发送的定时偏差信息所包含的各边界偏差进行换算。
可选的，所述定时偏差信息包括的各个偏差对应的时间单元的长度与指定的子载波间隔配置信息的时间单元的长度相同。
需要说明的是，子载波间隔配置信息还可以通过协议默认指定，例如指定子载波间隔配置信息为480KHz，240KHz，120KHz等。通信设备可以根据默认的子载波间隔配置信息所对应的各个时间单元的长度，将两个系统的定时信息之间的差值进行换算处理，得到定时偏差信息所包含的边界偏差；相应的，第一网络设备可以根据默认的子载波间隔配置信息所对应的各个时间单元的长度，对通信设备发送的定时偏差信息所包含的边界偏差进行换算。
203、通信设备将定时偏差信息的测量结果发送给第一网络设备。
可选的，上述的第一指示信息可以携带于该定时偏差信息内发送给第一网络设备。

可选的，第一系统和所述第二系统各自的子载波间隔配置信息不同，所述第一系统与第二系统之间的定时偏差信息的测量边界是所述第一系统的帧边界，子帧边界或时隙边界，所述第一系统的子载波间隔小于第二系统的子载波间隔，第一系统的各边界分别与第二系 统的对应边界在时间上对齐。需要说明的是，上述确定第一系统与第二系统之间的定时偏差信息的测量边界的具体方式同样适用于确定第一系统与第三系统之间的定时偏差信息的测量边界，或者确定第二系统与第三系统之间的定时偏差信息的测量边界。
以图3所示的定时偏差的结构示意图为例，子载波间隔为15KHz的系统、子载波间隔为30KHz的系统以及子载波间隔为60KHz的系统，在#0子帧边界满足在时间上对齐；子载波间隔为30KHz的系统在#1子帧的1时隙边界与子载波间隔为60KHz的系统在#1子帧的3时隙边界满足在时间上对齐。另外，子载波间隔为30KHz的系统在#1子帧的1时隙边界与子载波间隔为60KHz的系统在#1子帧的2时隙边界不满足在时间上对齐。
可选的，通信设备根据第一参考信号和第二参考信号，测量第一系统与第二系统之间的定时偏差信息，具体可以为：通信设备将所述第一系统的帧边界，子帧边界或时隙边界作为第一边界，并将所述第二系统的帧边界，子帧边界或时隙边界作为第二边界；确定测量边界，测量边界为第一边界或第二边界；记录测量边界所在系统的第一定时信息，并记录测量边界对应到另一系统的第二定时信息；计算第一定时信息和第二定时信息之间的差值；对差值进行处理，得到第一系统与第二系统之间的边界偏差。需要说明的是，上述测量第一系统与第二系统之间的边界偏差的具体方式同样适用于测量第一系统与第三系统之间的边界偏差，或者第二系统与第三系统之间的边界偏差。
以图4所示的定时偏差信息测量的结构示意图为例，通信设备根据LTE系统定时(LTE Timing)确定LTE系统的子帧边界作为测量边界，通信设备记录LTE系统的子帧边界所在LTE系统的第一定时信息，并且记录LTE的子帧边界对应到NR系统的第二定时信息，第二定时信息隶属于NR系统定时(NR Timing)。通信设备计算第一定时信息和第二定时信息之间的差值，并且通过换算处理，得到定时偏差信息。
需要说明的是，第一定时信息可以包括整数个SFN、整数个子帧、整数个时隙以及整数个最小时间单元的总和，还可能包括整数个微时隙。第二定时信息可以包括整数个SFN、整数个子帧、整数个时隙以及整数个最小时间单元的总和，还可以包括整数个微时隙。通过第一定时信息的SFN与第二定时信息的SFN之间的差值，得到定时偏差信息所包括的SFN偏差；剩余的第一定时信息和剩余的第二定时信息之间的差值，需要按照各个时间单元(包括子帧、时隙、微时隙等)的长度，分别通过换算处理，得到定时偏差信息所包括的边界偏差，即包括子帧边界的偏差或时隙边界的偏差中的至少一项，以及帧边界的偏差。
可选的，通信设备根据第一参考信号和第二参考信号，测量第一系统与第二系统之间的定时偏差信息，具体可以为：通信设备通过时钟记录绝对时间；确定第一系统的测量边界相对绝对时间的第一时间，并确定第二系统的测量边界相对绝对时间的第二时间，其中，第一系统的测量边界为第一系统的帧边界，子帧边界或时隙边界，第二系统的测量边界为第二系统的帧边界，子帧边界或时隙边界；计算第一时间和第二时间之间的差值；通信设备对差值进行处理，得到第一系统与第二系统之间的边界偏差。可选的，该时钟通常为高精度时钟。需要说明的是，上述测量第一系统与第二系统之间的边界偏差的具体方式同样适用于测量第一系统与第三系统之间的边界偏差，或者第二系统与第三系统之间的边界偏差。
以图5所示的定时偏差信息测量的结构示意图为例，通信设备通过一个时钟(例如高精 度时钟MC)记录绝对时间。通信设备根据LTE系统定时(LTE Timing)确定一个LTE系统的子帧边界和根据NR系统定时(NR Timing)确定一个NR系统的子帧边界作为测量边界，并且记录LTE系统的子帧边界相对MC绝对时间的第一时间和NR系统的子帧边界相对MC绝对时间的第二时间，计算第一时间和第二时间之间的差值，将差值通过换算处理，得到定时偏差信息。
需要说明的是，将差值按照系统帧的时间单元的长度向下取整，得到定时偏差信息所包括的SFN偏差；将剩余的差值按照各个时间单元(包括子帧、时隙、微时隙等)的长度，分别通过换算处理，得到定时偏差信息所包括的边界偏差，即包括子帧边界的偏差或时隙边界的偏差中的至少一项，以及帧边界的偏差。例如，如果确定时隙边界为测量边界，LTE系统的时隙边界的位置确定为[10，2，3]，NR系统的时隙边界的位置确定为[10，2，3]，那么LTE的时隙边界相对MC绝对时间的第一时间和NR的时隙边界相对MC绝对时间的第二时间之间的差值，通过换算处理，得到定时偏差信息；如果LTE系统的时隙边界的位置确定为[10，2，3]，NR系统的时隙边界的位置确定为[11，3，3]，那么第一时间和第二时间之间的差值，需要扣除时隙边界的位置之间的差值[1，1，0]，然后通过换算处理，得到定时偏差信息。其中[10，2，3]表示SFN等于10，子帧等于2，时隙等于3；[11，3，3]表示SFN等于11，子帧等于3，时隙等于3；[1，1，0]表示SFN等于1，子帧等于1，时隙等于0。
需要说明的是，通信设备可以结合图4和图5所示的定时偏差信息测量的结构示意图，进行定时偏差信息的测量，例如：通信设备可以通过一个MC时钟记录绝对时间；将第一系统的帧边界，子帧边界或时隙边界作为第一边界，并将第二系统的帧边界，子帧边界或时隙边界作为第二边界；确定测量边界，测量边界为第一边界和第二边界；记录第一边界所在系统的第一定时信息以及相对MC绝对时间的第一时间，并且记录第二边界所在系统的第二定时信息以及相对MC绝对时间的第二时间；计算第一定时信息和第二定时信息之间的第一差值，以及第一定时和第二定时之间的第二差值；第二差值因为绝对时钟到期有可能导致计满清零，因此可以通过第一差值校准第二差值可能的计时误差；对第二差值通过换算处理，得到定时偏差信息。
可选的，通信设备还可以向第一网络设备发送第一指示信息，第一指示信息用于指示定时偏差信息包括的各个偏差对应的时间单元的长度与第一系统的时间单元、第二系统的时间单元或者第三系统的时间单元的长度相同，时间单元包括帧，子帧，时隙，微时隙或最小时间单元。
可选的，上述定时偏差信息包括的各个偏差对应的时间单元的长度与指定的子载波间隔配置信息的时间单元的长度相同。
需要说明的是，子载波间隔配置信息还可以通过协议默认指定，例如指定子载波间隔配置信息为480KHz，240KHz，120KHz等。通信设备可以根据默认的子载波间隔配置信息所对应的各个时间单元的长度，将每两个系统的定时信息之间的差值进行换算处理，得到定时偏差信息所包含的边界偏差；相应的，第一网络设备可以根据默认的子载波间隔配置信息所对应的各个时间单元的长度，对通信设备发送的定时偏差信息所包含的边界偏差进行换算。
