Description

无线通信方法、网络侧设备及装置 技术领域
本申请涉及无线通信技术领域,特别涉及一种无线通信方法、网络侧设备及装置。
背景技术
随着移动通信数据的不断增长,无线通信的频谱资源也越来越紧张,对非授权频谱的有效利用也变得越来越重要。
网络侧设备和用户终端之间利用非授权频谱进行通信时,网络侧设备需要发送发现参考信号(Discovery Reference Signal,DRS)来辅助用户终端进行信道估计或信道探测。具体的,在相关技术中,网络侧设备在一条固定信道上发送DRS时,首先检测该固定信道是否空闲,若检测结果为该固定信道空闲,说明没有其它网络侧设备在该固定的信道上发送DRS,则该节点设备此时可以发送DRS;若检测结果为该固定信道不空闲,则网络侧设备在等待一段时间后,再次检测该固定信道是否空闲。
在多小区场景下,多个网络侧设备同时发送DRS时,会导致其中部分网络侧设备始终得不到发送DRS的机会(即连续多次检测出固定信道不空闲),从而影响用户终端与这部分网络侧设备之间的接入或者数据传输。
发明内容

具体实施方式
为使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请实施方式作进一步地详细描述。
图1是本申请实施例所涉及的无线通信系统的架构图。该无线通信系统包括:网络侧设备110和用户终端120。
其中,该无线通信系统可以是蜂窝移动通信系统,比如,该无线通信系统可以是第三代移动通信技术(the 3th generation mobile communication,3G)系统,也可以是第四代移动通信技术(the 4th generation mobile communication,4G)系统,又称长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统,或者,该无线通信系统也可以是5G系统,又称新空口(new radio,NR)系统。网络侧设备110可以是3G系统中的基站(Base Station,BS)或者4G系统中采用的演进型基站(eNB)。或者,网络侧设备110也可以是5G系统中采用集中分布式架构的基站(gNB)。当网络侧设备110采用集中分布式架构时,通常包括集中单元(central unit,CU)和至少两个分布单元(distributed unit,DU)。集中单元中设置有分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)层、无线链路层控制协议(Radio Link Control,RLC)层、媒体访问控制(Media Access Control,MAC)层的协议栈;分布单元中设置有物理(Physical,PHY)层协议栈,本申请实施例对网络侧设备110的具体实现方式不加以限定。
或者,该无线通信系统也可以是低功耗蓝牙(Bluetooth Low Energy,BLE)系统,该网络侧设备110可以是BLE主设备,用户终端120可以是BLE从设备。
或者,该无线通信系统也可以是无线局域网(wireless local area networks,WLAN)系统,该网络侧设备110可以是无线局域网中的接入点(access point,AP)或者传输接收点 (transmission reception point,TRP)。
或者,该无线通信系统也可以是其它类型的无线通信系统。
用户终端120可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备。用户终端120可以经无线接入网(Radio Access Network,RAN)与一个或多个核心网进行通信,用户终端120可以是移动终端,如移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)和具有移动终端的计算机,例如,可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置。例如,站(Station,STA)、订户单元(subscriber unit)、订户站(subscriber station),移动站(mobile station)、移动台(mobile)、远程站(remote station)、接入点、远程终端(remote terminal)、接入终端(access terminal)、用户装置(user terminal)、用户代理(user agent)、用户设备(user device)、或用户终端(user equipment,UE)。
需要说明的是,在图1所示的无线通信系统中,可以包括多个网络侧设备110和/或多个用户终端120,图1中以示出一个网络侧设备110和一个终端120来举例说明,但本实施例对此不作限定。
在本申请实施例中,网络侧设备110可以从N个固定信道中确定出至少一个第一固定信道,并在第一固定信道上发送DRS,并在N个固定信道之外的数据信道上与用户终端进行数据通信。即在本申请实施例所示的方案中,网络侧设备110可以用来发送DRS的固定信道有多个,而网络侧设备110可以从中选择一个或多个固定信道来发送DRS,相比于所有的网络侧设备都只在一条固定信道上发送DRS来说,在多小区场景下,本申请实施例所示的方案使得网络侧设备110发送DRS的机会更多,从而提高用户终端与这部分网络侧设备之间的接入效率和数据传输效率,达到提高系统容量的效果。
上述图1所示的无线通信系统中,网络侧设备110和用户终端120之间可以在非授权频谱上进行通信。其中,通过非授权频谱进行通信时,为了减少各发射器之间的干扰,在网络侧设备发送前,需要先评估信道的使用情况,其中,先听后说(Listen before talk,LBT)技术是一种常用的信道评估技术。本申请下面的实施例将以网络侧设备110发送之前进行LBT为例,对本申请各个实施例涉及的方案进行举例说明。
请参考图2,其是本申请一个示例性实施例提供的无线通信方法的方法流程图。上述无线通信方法可以由上述图1所示的无线通信系统中的网络侧设备110和用户终端120来执行,以实现在非授权频谱上进行通信。如图2所示,该无线通信方法可以包括如下步骤:
步骤201,网络侧设备根据预先设置的频点确定N个固定信道,N为大于或者等于2的整数。
在无线通信中,通信设备(比如本申请各个实施例中涉及的网络侧设备和用户设备)可以通过预设的频点来确定进行信号收发的无线信道。在本申请实施例中,网络侧设备中预先设置有N个用于发送DRS的频点,每个频点对应一条固定信道。网络侧设备可以根据该N个预先设置的频点,确定出与N个频点分别对应的N个固定信道。
其中,上述频点可以由无线通信系统通过系统信令的方式在网络侧设备或者用户终端中预先设置;或者,上述频点也可以由开发人员/安装维护人员在网络侧设备或者用户终端中预先设置,可选的,当上述频点由开发人员/安装维护人员设置时,上述频点还可以通过软件升级的方式进行更新。
在本申请实施例中,N为大于或者等于2的整数,即无线通信系统预先分配给各个网络侧设备发送DRS的固定信道的数量至少有2个,网络侧设备可以在两条或者两条以上的固定信道上发送DRS。其中,上述N的数值可以为2、3或者更大的数值,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
此外,在本申请实施例中,上述预先设置的频点可以是相邻频点,即确定出的N个固定信道是相邻的N个无线信道;或者,上述预先设置的频点也可以是离散的频点,即确定出的N个固定信道是不相邻的无线信道;或者,上述预先设置的频点中的部分频点是相邻频点,而其它部分频点与该部分频点不相邻,即确定出的N个固定信道中,有一部分固定信道相邻,而其它部分固定信道与这部分固定信道都不相邻,比如,假设N为3(即有3个固定信道),其中可能有两条固定信道相邻,而另外一条固定信道与这两条固定信道都不相邻。本申请实施例对于N条固定信道对应的具体频点以及频点之间的关系不做限定。
步骤202,网络侧设备从该N个固定信道中确定第一固定信道,该第一固定信道是该N个固定信道中的M个信道,M≤N,且M为正整数。
在本申请实施例中,在确定了N个固定信道之后,网络侧设备可以从该N个固定信道中确定M个第一固定信道,作为其后续发送DRS的信道。
在一种可能的实现方式中,网络侧设备根据预先设置的固定信道配置信息从该N个固定信道中确定出该第一固定信道。
其中,该固定信道配置信息用于指示该N个固定信道中的第一固定信道。
为了避免相邻小区之间的DRS发送过程相互影响,在本申请实施例中,可以预先设置每一个网络侧设备使用N个固定信道中哪个或哪些信道作为发送DRS的固定信道。
具体比如,在对网络侧设备进行安装或维护时,安装/维护人员可以在网络侧设备中设置固定信道配置信息,该固定信道配置信息指示该N个固定信道中哪个或哪些信道是第一固定信道。或者,在网络侧设备安装完成后,无线通信系统可以在网络侧设备中设置该固定信道配置信息。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,网络侧设备可以根据该网络侧设备对应的小区的标识从该N个固定信道中确定出该第一固定信道。
在本申请实施例中,网络侧设备可以根据其支持的小区的标识(比如小区ID)来计算第一固定信道。
具体比如,以从N个固定信道中确定出1个固定信道作为第一固定信道为例,小区ID可以是一个数字,或者,小区ID可以通过一定的算法转化为数字;同时,网络侧设备可以从0开始对N个固定信道进行编号,即N个固定信道的编号分别为0,1,……,N-1。网络侧设备将小区ID对应的数字除以N,获得的余数即为第一固定信道的编号。
或者,网络侧设备也可以通过该方法确定两个或两个以上的第一固定信道,比如,当M≥2时,网络侧设备可以将编号为上述余数的信道,以及N个固定信道中处于该信道前后的M-1个信道确定为上述第一固定信道。
比如,假设N的数值为3,即有3个固定信道,编号分别为0、1和2,网络侧设备需要从中确定出2个固定信道作为第一固定信道;网络侧设备将当前小区ID对应的数值除以3获得余数,当该余数为1时,网络侧设备可以将编号为1和2的固定信道确定为第一固定信道,当该余数为2时,网络侧设备可以将编号为2和0的固定信道确定为第一固定信道。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,网络侧设备也可以将N个固定信道都全部确定为第一固定信道。
步骤203,网络侧设备在第一固定信道上发送DRS。
在本申请实施例中,网络侧设备确定出第一固定信道之后,可以在第一固定信道上发送DRS。其中,该DRS可以包括同步信号、广播信息以及系统消息中的至少一种。
其中,同步信号可以包括主同步信号(Primary Synchronization Signal,PSS)以及辅同步信号(secondary Synchronization Signal,SSS)等等。
广播信息可以是SIB-MF-BR消息,该SIB-MF-BR消息中可以包含用户终端需要的多种广播信息,比如自适应跳频图案(adaptive frequency hopping channel map)、跳频时间信息(用于指示跳频的时间点)、超帧号(hyper SFN)、系统消息更新标识(system Info Value Tag)、临区发现信号测量时间配置(discovery signals measurement timing configuration,DMTC)等等。
系统消息可以分为主信息块(Master Information Block,MIB)和多个系统信息块(System Information Blocks,SIB)消息。
在本申请实施例中,除了上述同步信号、广播信息以及系统消息之外,网络侧设备发送的DRS中还可以包含物理广播信道(Physical Broadcast Channel,PBCH)。
在发送DRS时,网络侧设备可以在一个发送时间窗内,在第一固定信道上发送该DRS,该发送时间窗是用于发送该DRS的时间区间。
在本申请实施例中,网络侧设备和用户终端之间通过非授权频谱进行通信时,网络侧设备发送DRS时,可以通过LBT技术进行发送。其中,LBT技术是指在发送信号或者数据之前,发送设备首先在待发送的信道上进行信道空闲评估(Clear Channel Assessment,CCA),以测量当前信道上的能量情况,如果测量得到的能量超过门限,则认为信道被占用,此时确定评估结果为该信道不空闲(即该信道当前被其它发送设备占用),此时不能发送;反之,如果测量得到的能量低于门限,则确定评估结果为信道空闲(即该信道当前未被其它发送设备占用),此时可以发送,这样各个发送设备之间实现了对信道的时分复用,避免因同时发送而产生的相互干扰的情况。
具体的,网络侧设备发送DRS之前,在上述的发送时间窗内,在该第一固定信道上进行信道空闲评估CCA,当该CCA的评估结果指示该第一固定信道空闲时,在该第一固定信道上发送该DRS。
在本申请实施例中,网络侧设备在与用户终端之间进行通信时,网络侧设备发送DRS的时间和网络侧设备与用户终端之间进行数据传输的时间相互隔离。其中,允许网络侧设备发送的DRS的一个连续时间区间可以称为一个发送时间窗。网络侧设备在每个发送时间窗内通过LBT方式发送DRS,即在每个发送时间窗内,网络侧设备在每个第一固定信道上进行CCA,当CCA的评估结果指示当前信道未被占用时,在该发送时间窗内,在该第一固定信道上发送DRS。
可选的,网络侧设备根据预先配置的时间窗配置信息或者该用户终端接入的小区的标识确定发送时间窗。
在一种可能的实现方式中,网络侧设备根据预先设置的时间窗配置信息确定发送时间窗。其中,该时间窗配置信息用于指示第一固定信道中的用于发送DRS的时间区间。
具体比如,在对网络侧设备进行安装或维护时,安装/维护人员可以在网络侧设备中设置时间窗配置信息,该时间窗配置信息指示该第一固定信道中哪段时间区间用于发送DRS。或者,在网络侧设备安装完成后,无线通信系统可以在网络侧设备中设置该时间窗配置信息。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,网络侧设备可以根据该网络侧设备对应的小区的标识从确定发送时间窗。
具体比如,小区ID可以是一个数字,或者,小区ID可以通过一定的算法转化为数字;同时,网络侧设备可以将一个信道中的某段时间区间分为若干个小的时间区间,作为若干个发送时间窗,从0开始对这些发送时间窗进行编号,即若干个发送时间窗的编号分别为0,1,……。网络侧设备将小区ID对应的数字除以发送时间窗的数量,获得的余数即为发送时间窗的编号。
在本申请实施例中,相邻小区各自对应的该第一固定信道相同,且相邻小区各自对应的该发送时间窗不同;或者,相邻小区各自对应的第一固定信道不同。
当相邻小区各自对应的第一固定信道相同时,它们各自对应的发送时间窗不同。即相邻小区对应的网络侧设备可以在同一个第一固定信道上发送DRS,但是此时不同小区对应的发送时间窗必须是时分的,或者,当某个小区对应的第一固定信道的个数M小于固定信道的个数N时,相邻小区对应的网络侧设备可以在除了该M个第一固定信道之外的其它固定信道上发送DRS。
在本申请实施例中,网络侧设备在一个发送时间窗内可以只进行一次CCA,即当CCA的评估结果为当前信道被占用时,网络侧设备在该发送时间窗内,不再尝试下一次CCA,也不会发送DRS。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,一个发送时间窗的时间长度也可以大于一次CCA的时长与一次DRS发送所需的时长之和,也就是说,在一个发送时间窗内,网络侧设备可以进行多次CCA。
具体的,网络侧设备在该发送时间窗内,在该第一固定信道上进行信道空闲评估CCA,当该CCA的评估结果指示该第一固定信道被占用时,该网络侧设备计算该发送时间窗内的第一剩余时长,当该第一剩余时长不小于进行一次CCA的时长与发送一次DRS的时长之和时,该网络侧设备在该第一固定信道上重新进行CCA,当重新进行的CCA的评估结果指示该第一固定信道空闲时,该网络侧设备在该第一固定信道上发送该DRS。
在本申请实施例中,如果终端在进行一次或多次CCA,且每次的评估结果都指示第一固定信道被占用时,如果当前的发送时间窗内的剩余时长还够一次CCA加一次DRS发送,那么网络侧设备可以继续进行CCA,如果CCA成功,则发送DRS,网络侧设备重复执行CCA步骤,直至在该发送时间窗内成功发送DRS,或者,直至剩余时长不足以进行一次CCA加一次DRS发送。
可选的,在本申请实施例中,当M≥2,也就是第一固定信道包含两条或者两条以上固定信道时,网络侧设备可以在该两条或者两条以上固定信道中分别进行LBT,即该两条或者两条以上固定信道中的DRS发送过程互不影响。
或者,在本申请实施例中,当M≥2,也就是第一固定信道包含两条或者两条以上固定信道时,网络侧设备可以只在该两条或者两条以上固定信道中的一条上发送DRS,或者, 网络侧设备在同一时间只在两条或者两条以上固定信道中的一条上发送DRS。
比如,当M≥2时,该网络侧设备在一个发送时间窗内,在该第一固定信道上同步进行CCA,并且,该网络侧设备在该发送时间窗内,在第二固定信道上发送该DRS,该第二固定信道是该第一固定信道中,第一个获得指示信道空闲的评估结果的信道。
在一种可能的实现方式中,当第一固定信道包含两条或者两条以上固定信道时,在一个发送时间窗内,网络侧设备可以在上述两条或者两条以上固定信道上同时进行CCA,当在某一条固定信道上率先获得指示对应的信道空闲的评估结果时,网络侧设备在该固定信道上发送DRS,并且,对于该两条或者两条以上固定信道中尚未获得评估结果的其它信道,无论其后续获得的评估结果是否指示对应的信道空闲,网络侧设备在当前发送时间窗内,都不会在其它信道上发送DRS。
当M≥2时,网络侧设备在上述第二固定信道上发送DRS之后,还可以计算该发送时间窗内的第二剩余时长,当该第二剩余时长不小于进行一次CCA的时长与发送一次DRS的时长之和时,该网络侧设备在该第一固定信道中除了该第二固定信道之外的其它信道上同步进行CCA。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,当第一固定信道包含两条或者两条以上固定信道时,当在某一条固定信道上率先获得指示对应的信道空闲的评估结果时,网络侧设备在该固定信道上发送DRS后,若当前时间窗内的剩余时长还足够再进行一次或多次CCA加DRS发送,则网络侧设备还可以在该两条或者两条以上固定信道中,尚未发送过DRS的信道上继续进行CCA检测和DRS发送,即网络侧设备在,尚未发送过DRS的信道上同时进行CCA检测,并在其中第一个检测出未被占用的信道上发送DRS,网络侧设备可以反复执行上述CCA加DRS发送的步骤,直至在当前发送时间窗内,在两条或者两条以上固定信道上都发送了DRS,或者,直至当前发送时间窗的剩余时长不足以进行一次CCA加DRS发送。
比如,网络侧设备确定了3个第一固定信道:信道0、信道1、信道2,每个第一固定信道上的发送时间窗为10ms,进行一次CCA需要1ms,发送DRS所需的时长为3ms,该网络侧设备可以同时在3个第一固定信道上进行CCA,如果CCA结果先指示信道2空闲,则在信道2上发送DRS,发送完毕后发送时间窗内还剩余6ms的时长,大于进行一次CCA和发送一次DRS的时长之和,则网络侧设备可以再次在信道0和信道1上进行CCA,如果CCA结果先指示信道0空闲,则在信道0上再次发送DRS,此时发送时间窗内只剩余2ms的时长,不足以进行一次CCA和发送一次DRS,则不再进行CCA和发送DRS。
另外,针对某一个发送时间窗,网络侧设备在第一固定信道上第一次进行CCA的时间也可以在发送时间窗之前。
可选的,进行一次CCA所需的时长可以由开发/运维人员在网络侧设备中预先设置,发送DRS所需的时长可以由一次DRS所占的时域长度决定,比如,发送DRS所需的时长可以是DRS所占的时域长度。
步骤204,用户终端根据预先设置的频点确定N个固定信道。
用户终端在开机后准备接入网络时,可以根据预先设置的频点确定N个固定信道。其中,用户终端确定N个固定信道的方式与网络侧设备确定该N个固定信道的方式类似,此处不再赘述。
步骤205,用户终端在该N个固定信道上检测第一固定信道。
用户终端在确定出N个固定信道后,在该N个固定信道上检测第一固定信道,该第一固定信道是N个固定信道中的M个信道,具体比如,用户在确定出N个固定信道后,可以在该N个固定信道上分别检测DRS(比如,可以通过盲检测的方式来检测DRS),当用户终端在某一个或多个固定信道上检测到网络侧设备发送的DRS时,即可以确认该一个或多个固定信道是网络侧设备用于发送DRS的第一固定信道。
步骤206,用户终端在该第一固定信道上接收网络侧设备发送的DRS。
用户终端在检测出N个固定信道中的第一固定信道之后,后续与网络侧设备的通信过程中,用户终端在该第一固定信道上检测接收网络侧设备发送的DRS。
可选的,当M<N时,对于该第一固定信道中的第三固定信道,当网络侧设备检测出该第三固定信道在预定时间段内持续被占用时,网络侧设备在该N个固定信道中确定新的第一固定信道,该新的第一固定信道中不包含该第三固定信道。该网络侧设备可以在当前变更周期内,或者在下一个变更周期的起始时刻,通过广播信道向该用户终端发送固定信道指示信息,该用户终端在下一个变更周期内接收该网络侧设备通过广播信道发送的固定信道指示信息,该固定信道指示信息用于指示新的第一固定信道,该用户终端在该新的第一固定信道上接收该DRS。
其中,变更周期可以是在通信系统中,两次系统信息更新时刻之间的固定的时间间隔。
在本申请实施例中,网络侧设备在第一固定信道上发送完DRS之后,用户终端需要先检测在确定的N个固定信道中检测发送了DRS的第一固定信道,再在该第一固定信道上接收DRS。如果M<N,且网络侧设备检测出M个第一固定信道中的某一信道在预定时间段内持续被占用(检测方法可以是获取预定时间段内该信道获得被占用的CCA评估结果的次数,如果大于预设阈值,就认为该信道持续被占用),网络侧设备可以确定新的第一固定信道,并在当前变更周期内,或者在下一个变更周期的起始时刻,通过广播信道向用户终端发送固定信道指示信息,以便该用户终端能够及时接收到新的第一固定信道的信息,然后该用户设备就在新的第一固定信道上接收DRS。
其中,网络侧设备确定新的第一固定信道的方法可以是从除了该持续被占用的信道之外的其它第一固定信道中随机选取一个新的第一固定信道,也可以是按照预定的顺序,选取该持续被占用的信道之后的第一个新的第一固定信道,对此,本申请实施例不做限定。
步骤207,网络侧设备和用户终端在数据信道上通过跳频方式进行数据传输,该数据信道是该N个固定信道之外的全部或者部分信道。
具体的,该网络侧设备在相邻两次发送该DRS之间,在p条该数据信道上与该用户终端进行至少一次预定时间长度的数据传输,p≥1,且p为整数,当p不小于2时,在p条该数据信道上进行数据传输的时间区间不同。其中,该DRS还包含数据信道配置信息,该数据信道配置信息指示每个预定时间长度内用于上行传输的持续时间和用于下行传输的持续时间。
可选的,该网络侧设备每次在第一数据信道上进行该预定时间长度的数据传输之前,在该第一数据信道上进行CCA,该第一数据信道是p条该数据信道中的任意数据信道,若该CCA的评估结果指示该第一数据信道空闲,则该网络侧设备在该第一数据信道上进行该预定时间长度的数据传输。
在本申请实施例中,当用户终端接收到网络侧设备通过第一固定信道发送的DRS之后, 就可以和网络侧设备在数据信道上通过跳频方式进行数据传输了,数据信道为在所有信道中除了N个固定信道之外的其它全部或部分信道。
需要说明的是,上述N个固定信道以及数据信道都是属于网络侧设备和用户终端所在的无线通信系统的工作带宽内的信道,即上述数据信道是无线通信系统的工作带宽内的各个信道中,除了N个固定信道之外的全部或者部分信道。
在相邻的两次发送DRS之间,网络侧设备可以和用户终端再至少一条数据信道上进行至少一次预定时间长度的数据传输。其中,预定时间长度为网络侧设备和用户终端在数据信道上进行一次连续的数据传输的时间长度,可由开发/运维人员预先设置。
当在两条以及两条以上数据信道上进行数据传输时,每条信道上的数据传输应该是时分的,即时间区间不同。其中,上述时间区间为每次数据传输的起始时刻与结束时刻之间的区间;在实际应用中,上述各个时间区间的时间长度通常是相同的,但是两个时间区间的起始时间点不同,比如,对于相邻的两个时间区间,前一个时间区间的结束时间点可以是后一个时间区间的起始时间点。
在相邻两次发送DRS之间,网络侧设备和用户终端可以进行一次预定时间长度的数据传输,也可以进行多次预定时间长度的数据传输,预定的时间长度可以是如80ms、100ms的任意时间长度,且在该预定时间长度中,用于上行传输的持续时间和用于下行传输的持续时间可以灵活配置,该配置信息可以包含在DRS中,用于指示一次预定时间长度中上行传输和下行传输的持续时间。
另外,由于网络侧设备发送DRS的起始时刻是不固定的,为了方便用户终端确定数据传输的开始时刻,在控制信道单元(Control Channel Element,CCE)中,DRS中还可以包含起始时间偏移信息,该起始时间偏移信息用于指示该网络侧设备与该用户终端之间进行数据传输的起始时间点与该DRS的任一时间点的偏移量,其中,该DRS的任一时间点可以是该DRS的起始时间点,也可以是该DRS的结束时间点,或者,还可以是该DRS中间的其它时间点。
其中,用户终端在根据该DRS与网络侧设备进行数据通信时,可以根据该DRS中包含起始时间偏移信息计算该数据信道的起始时刻,根据该DRS中包含的跳频图案和跳频时间信息计算该数据信道的发送频点,并根据该DRS中包含的数据信道配置信息确定该数据信道中上下行位置,最后,该用户终端根据该数据信道的起始时刻、发送频点以及上下行位置,与该网络侧设备之间通过跳频方式进行数据传输。
在数据传输过程中,上行传输可以采用非自适应跳频的传输方式,即在上行传输的起始位置不进行CCA,直接发送上行数据,下行传输则可以采用先进行CCA再发送数据的方式,即在下行传输的起始位置先进行一次CCA,如果CCA评估结果指示下行信道空闲,则发送下行数据,如果CCA评估结果指示下行信道被占用,则放弃这次发送机会,等待下次发送机会到来。
图3是图2所示实施例涉及的一种无线通信应用场景。请参考图3,在该应用场景中,每个信道在频域上占6个资源块,即1.08MHz,网络侧设备和用户终端确定的固定信道有3条:信道1、信道7和信道9,网络侧设备从中确定的第一固定信道是信道1,DRS包含主同步信号和辅同步信号、广播信号以及广播信息,此时该DRS占4ms,信道1上有发送时间窗,窗长5ms,网络侧设备进行一次CCA所需的时长为1ms,网络侧设备在发送DRS之 前先在发送时间窗内进行一次CCA,如果CCA评估结果指示信道1空闲,则在该发送时间窗内,在信道1上发送DRS,如果CCA评估结果指示信道1被占用,则网络设备在该发送时间窗内放弃发送DRS,等待下一个发送时间窗的到来。若网络侧设备检测出信道1在预定时间段内持续被占用,则可以确定新的第一固定信道,在切换信道前通过广播告知用户终端将切换第一固定信道。用户终端接收到DRS后,在当前发送时间窗与下一个发送时间窗之间,网络侧设备与用户终端在一条数据信道(图3示出为信道3)上进行一次预定时间长度的数据传输,在下一个时间窗与下下一个时间窗之间,网络侧设备与用户终端跳频至另一条数据信道(图3示出为信道5)上进行一次预定时间长度的数据传输,以此类推。即网络侧设备发送DRS与数据传输交替进行。其中,在图3中,每一次预定时间长度的数据传输之前,网络侧设备进行一次CCA,若CCA的评估结果指示当前数据信道未被占用,则在当前数据信道上进行一次预定时间长度的数据传输。此外,在图3所示的每次预定时间长度的数据传输中,上下行传输交替进行。比如,以预定时间长度为80ms为例,图3中D表示下行传输,U表示上行传输,其中每次上下行传输时间都为10ms,用户终端在上行传输之前不需要进行CCA,直接发送上行数据。需要说明的是,在一个预定时间长度的数据传输中,上下行数据传输的时长可以由网络侧设备自行配置并通过DRS发送给用户终端,比如,以预定时间长度为80ms为例,网络侧设备可以将一个预定时间长度的数据传输中的下行传输时长设置为60ms,上行传输时长设置为20ms;本申请实施例对于上下行数据传输的具体时长不做限定。另外,相邻小区也可以同时使用信道1作为第一固定信道,不同小区对应的发送时间窗可以是时分的。
图4是图2所示实施例涉及的另一种无线通信应用场景。请参考图4,在该应用场景中,每个信道在频域上占1个资源块,即180kHz,网络侧设备和用户终端确定的固定信道有3条:信道1、信道3和信道5,网络侧设备确定这三条固定信道都是第一固定信道,DRS占10ms,三条第一固定信道上有发送时间窗,窗长10ms,网络侧设备在发送DRS之前无需进行CCA,直接发送DRS。用户终端接收到DRS后,在当前发送时间窗与下一个发送时间窗之间,网络侧设备与用户终端在一条数据信道(图4示出为信道7)上进行一次预定时间长度的数据传输,在下一个时间窗与下下一个时间窗之间,网络侧设备与用户终端跳频至另一条数据信道(图4示出为信道9)上进行一次预定时间长度的数据传输,以此类推,即网络侧设备发送DRS与数据传输交替进行。以预定时间长度是90ms为例,在图4所示的每次预定时间长度的数据传输中,上下行传输时间都为40ms,下行传输时间D与上行传输时间U之间包含一特殊子帧S,长度为10ms,并且,网络侧设备和用户终端在上下行传输之前都不需要进行CCA,直接发送上下行数据。需要说明的是,在一个预定时间长度的数据传输中,上下行数据传输的时长可以由网络侧设备自行配置并通过DRS发送给用户终端,比如,以预定时间长度为90ms为例,网络侧设备可以将一个预定时间长度的数据传输中的下行传输时长设置为60ms,上行传输时长设置为20ms,特殊子帧设置为10ms,本申请实施例对于上下行数据传输和特殊子帧的具体时长不做限定。另外,网络侧设备发送的DRS中包含的广播信息中携带系统时间信息,可以协助用户终端计算跳频图案,相邻小区可以使用相同的固定信道作为第一固定信道,不同小区对应的发送时间窗可以是时分的;或者,相邻小区也可以使用不同的固定信道作为第一固定信道。
图5是图2所示实施例涉及的又一种无线通信应用场景。请参考图5,在该应用场景中, 每个信道在频域上占1个资源块,即180kHz,网络侧设备和用户终端确定的固定信道有3条:信道1、信道2和信道3,网络侧设备确定这三条固定信道都是第一固定信道,网络侧设备在发送DRS之前无需进行CCA,直接发送DRS,用户终端接收到DRS后,在当前发送时间窗与下一个发送时间窗之间,网络侧设备与用户终端采用跳频方式,分别在信道5、信道9、信道6、信道7、信道8上进行一次预定时间长度的数据传输(图5中示出为Data),在下一个时间窗与下下一个时间窗之间,网络侧设备与用户终端再次采用跳频方式,分别在信道5、信道9、信道6、信道7、信道8上进行一次预定时间长度的数据传输,以此类推;其中,以预定时间长度为80ms为例,总的数据传输时间长度是400ms,在每次预定长度的数据传输之前,网络侧设备可以进行CCA,也可以不进行CCA(图4示出为每次数据传输之前网络侧设备不进行CCA),直接发送上下行数据。另外,相邻小区可以使用相同的固定信道作为第一固定信道,不同小区对应的发送时间窗可以是时分的;或者,相邻小区也可以使用不同固定信道作为第一固定信道。
图6是图2所示实施例涉及的再一种无线通信应用场景。请参考图6,在该应用场景中,每个信道在频域上占6个资源块,即1.08MHz,网络侧设备和用户终端确定的固定信道有3条:信道1、信道7和信道9,网络侧设备从中确定的第一固定信道是信道1,DRS包含主同步信号和辅同步信号、广播信号以及广播信息,广播信息中包含自适应跳频图案、超帧号、系统消息更新标识、临区发现信号测量时间配置等,此时该DRS占3ms,信道1上有发送时间窗,窗长5ms,网络侧设备进行一次CCA所需的时长为1ms,即网络侧设备在该发送时间窗内最多有3次CCA机会,网络侧设备在发送DRS之前先在发送时间窗内进行一次CCA,如果CCA评估结果指示信道1空闲,则发送DRS,如果CCA评估结果指示信道1被占用,则继续进行CCA,直至三次机会用完(即剩余时长不足以进行一次CCA和一次DRS发送)。若网络侧设备检测出信道1在预定时间段内持续被占用,则确定新的第一固定信道,在切换信道前通过广播告知用户终端将切换第一固定信道,DRS包含的广播信息中还包含起始时间偏移信息,用于指示网络侧设备与用户终端之间进行数据传输的起始时间点与DRS的起始时间点之间的偏移量,方便用户终端确定数据传输的起始时刻。用户终端接收到DRS后,在当前发送时间窗与下一个发送时间窗之间,网络侧设备与用户终端在一条数据信道(图6示出为信道3)上进行至少一次预定时间长度的数据传输(图6中示出在两次发送时间窗之间,网络侧设备与用户终端连续进行两次预定时间长度的数据传输),在下一个时间窗与下下一个时间窗之间,网络侧设备与用户终端跳频至另一条数据信道(图6示出为信道5)上进行至少一次预定时间长度的数据传输,以此类推。即网络侧设备发送DRS与数据传输交替进行。其中,以预定时间长度是40ms为例,,网络侧设备与用户终端之间采用上下行间隔传输的方式进行数据传输,其中上下行传输时间可以分别为20ms,每次进行预定时间长度的数据传输之前,网络侧设备先进行一次CCA,如果CCA的评估结果指示下行信道空闲,则网络侧设备与用户终端之间进行数据传输,并且,用户终端在上行传输之前不需要进行CCA,直接发送上行数据。需要说明的是,在一个预定时间长度的数据传输中,上下行数据传输的时长可以由网络侧设备自行配置并通过DRS发送给用户终端,比如,以预定时间长度为40ms为例,网络侧设备可以将一个预定时间长度的数据传输中的下行传输时长设置为30ms,上行传输时长设置为10ms;本申请实施例对于上下行数据传输的具体时长不做限定。另外,相邻小区也可以同时使用信道1作为第一固定信道,不同小 区对应的发送时间窗可以是时分的。
图7是图2所示实施例涉及的另一种无线通信应用场景。请参考图7,在该应用场景中,网络侧设备和用户终端确定的固定信道有3条:信道1、信道7和信道9,网络侧设备确定这三条固定信道都是第一固定信道,DRS只包含主同步信号、辅同步信号和广播信号,此时该DRS占2ms,第一固定信道上有发送时间窗,窗长5ms,网络侧设备进行一次CCA所需的时长为1ms。网络侧设备在发送DRS之前,在发送时间窗的起始时刻先在三条第一固定信道上同时进行CCA,如果信道1先获得指示信道空闲的评估结果,则网络侧设备在信道1上发送DRS;在信道1上发送DRS之后,如果当前发送时间窗的剩余时长不小于3ms,则网络侧设备在信道7和信道9上同时再进行CCA,如果信道7先获得指示信道空闲的评估结果,则在信道7上发送DRS;在信道7上发送DRS之后,如果当前发送时间窗的剩余时长不小于3ms,则网络侧设备最后在信道9上进行CCA,如果评估结果指示信道9空闲,则再在信道9上发送DRS。其中,当在一个固定信道上发送DRS后,如果当前发送时间窗内的剩余时长不足3ms,即不足以进行一次CCA和一次DRS发送,则即便还有其它固定信道上未发送给过DRS,网络侧设备在当前发送时间窗内也不再进行CCA检测。此外,DRS包含的广播信息中还包含起始时间偏移信息,用于指示网络侧设备与用户终端之间进行数据传输的起始时间点与DRS的起始时间点之间的偏移量,方便用户终端确定数据传输的起始时刻。用户终端接收到DRS后,在当前发送时间窗与下一个发送时间窗之间,网络侧设备与用户终端在一条数据信道(图7示出为信道3)上进行一次预定时间长度的数据传输,在下一个时间窗与下下一个时间窗之间,网络侧设备与用户终端跳频至另一条数据信道(图7示出为信道5)上进行一次预定时间长度的数据传输,以此类推。即网络侧设备发送DRS与数据传输交替进行。其中,在图7中,每一次预定时间长度的数据传输之前,网络侧设备进行一次CCA,若CCA的评估结果指示当前数据信道未被占用,则在当前数据信道上进行一次预定时间长度的数据传输。此外,在图7所示的每次预定时间长度的数据传输中,上下行传输交替进行。另外,当系统为宽带系统时,不同的第一固定信道也可以同时发送DRS而无需时分复用,相邻小区也可以同时使用相同的固定信道作为第一固定信道,不同小区对应的发送时间窗可以是时分的。
在上述应用场景中,网络侧设备进行CCA的时间都是在发送DRS的起始时刻之前的,实际上,DRS的时间区间中也可以预留网络侧设备进行CCA的时间。图8是图2所示实施例涉及的一种DRS结构图,请参考图8,图中DRS包括主同步信号PSS、辅同步信号SSS、物理广播信道PBCH和广播信息SIB-MF-BR,SIB-MF-BR中包含自适应跳频图案、超帧号、系统消息更新标识、临区发现信号测量时间配置DMTC等等。该DRS占3ms,其中,预留的CCA时长、主同步信号PSS、辅同步信号SSS和物理广播信道PBCH共占2ms,广播信息SIB-MF-BR共占1ms。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供的方法,网络侧设备根据预先配置的频点确定N个固定信道(N≥2,且N为整数),并从中确定M个第一固定信道,并在确定出的第一固定信道中发送DRS,并在N个固定信道之外的其它数据信道上通过跳频方式与用户终端进行数据传输,即在本申请实施例中,网络侧设备可以用来发送DRS的固定信道有多个,而网络侧设备可以从中选择一个或多个固定信道来发送DRS,相比于所有的网络侧设备都只在一条固定信道上发送DRS来说,在多小区场景下,本申请实施例所示的方案使得网络侧设备110 发送DRS的机会更多,从而提高用户终端与这部分网络侧设备之间的接入效率和数据传输效率,达到提高系统容量的效果。
