为了满足移动通信系统的大容量及高速率的传输需求,第五代通信技术(the 5Generation Mobile Communication Technology,5G)系统引入大于6吉赫兹(GHz)的高频频段进行通信。一般的,终端设备的发送功率较低,这样,当终端设备处于小区边缘区域、且采用高频上行载波向基站发送信号时,由于高频信号在传输过程中传输损耗较大、且穿透能力较弱,因此,基站可能无法接收到该终端设备发送的信号,但是,该终端设备可以接收到基站通过高频下行链路(Downlink,DL)发送的信号。这样就出现了上下行覆盖不对称的问题。
为了解决上下行覆盖不对称的问题,5G系统中引入至少一段低频频段,例如长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)的频段,用于辅助处于终端设备传输上行数据。这里,将原有的高频上行载波称为主要上行链路(Primary Uplink PUL),将新引入的低频上行载波称为辅助上行链路(Supplementary Uplink,SUL)。这样,在一个小区中,终端设备被配置有一个PUL和至少一个SUL。
在终端设备在某一小区被配置有一个PUL和至少一个SUL的场景中,若该终端设备处于空闲(Idle)态,则该终端设备可以通过判断下行参考信号的参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Received Power,RSRP)与预设的RSRP阈值之间的大小关系,在PUL和至少一个SUL中确定出的发起随机接入的上行载波。
但是,在终端设备在某一小区被配置有一个PUL和至少一个SUL的场景中,目前还不存在处于连接态(Connected)的终端设备如何确定发起随机接入的上行载波,以实现该终端设备完成随机接入的方法。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种随机接入方法及装置,能够使得被配置有一个PUL和至少一个SUL、且处于连接态的终端设备确定出发起随机接入的上行载波,以完成随机接入。
为达到上述目的,本申请实施例采用如下技术方案:
第一方面,提供一种随机接入方法,该随机接入方法应用于处于连接态、且被配置有至少两个上行载波的终端设备中的芯片或者所述终端设备。具体的,终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)在接收到接入网设备发送的用于确定上述至少两个上行载波中有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波的第一信息后,在上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中确定发起随机接入的上行载波,这样,该终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片) 即可在上述发起随机接入的上行载波上发起随机接入。
本申请实施例中的第一信息用于确定终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)被配置的至少两个上行载波中有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波,这样,终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)根据该第一信息即可确定出有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波,进而从有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中确定出可发起随机接入的上行载波,以实现该终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)完成随机接入。
可选的,在本申请的一种可能的实现方式中,上述“在有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中确定发起随机接入的上行载波”的方法为:接收接入网设备发送的用于指示上述发起随机接入的上行载波的第二信息,并根据该第二信息,确定上述发起随机接入的上行载波。
本申请实施例中的终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)根据接入网设备的指示,确定发起随机接入的上行载波,有效的提高了随机接入的成功率,并降低了通信系统中负载的不均衡性。
可选的,在本申请的另一种可能的实现方式中,上述至少两个上行载波包括第一上行载波和N个第二上行载波,N≥1。在这种场景中,若上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波包括N个第二上行载波中的M个第二上行载波,上述发起随机接入的上行载波为M个第二上行载波中的一个,N≥M≥1;或者,若上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波包括第一上行载波,上述发起随机接入的上行载波为第一上行载波;或者,上述发起随机接入的上行载波为有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中被配置有物理上行控制信道资源的上行载波;或者,上述发起随机接入的上行载波为上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中被配置的随机接入资源在时域上距离当前传输时间最短的上行载波;或者,上述发起随机接入的上行载波为:在调度请求失败触发随机接入过程的情况下,上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中发送调度请求使用的资源所在的上行载波。
本申请实施例中的终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)可自主确定发起随机接入的上行载波,能够满足终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)发起随机接入的需求。
结合上述描述可知,本申请实施例中的终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)可以根据接入网设备的指示确定发起随机接入的上行载波,也可以自主确定发起随机接入的上行载波。
可选的,在本申请的另一种可能的实现方式中,上述至少两个上行载波包括第一上行载波和N个第二上行载波,N≥1。除了前面描述的步骤之外,本申请实施例中的终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)还获取接入网设备发送的下行参考信号的信号质量。这样,若下行参考信号的信号质量小于信号质量阈值,上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波包括N个第二上行载波中的M个第二上行载波,上述发起随机接入的上行载波为M个第二上行载波中的一个,N≥M≥1,该信号质量阈值为接收自接入网设备的。
可选的,在本申请的另一种可能的实现方式中,上述至少两个上行载波包括第一上行载波和N个第二上行载波,N≥1。除了前面描述的步骤之外,本申请实施例中的终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)还获取接入网设备发送的下行参考信号的信号质量。 这样,在下行参考信号的信号质量大于或等于信号质量阈值的场景中:若上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波包括第一上行载波,上述发起随机接入的上行载波为第一上行载波;或者,上述发起随机接入的上行载波为上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中被配置有物理上行控制信道资源的上行载波;或者,上述发起随机接入的上行载波为上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中被配置的随机接入资源在时域上距离当前传输时间最短的上行载波;或者,上述发起随机接入的上行载波为在调度请求失败触发随机接入过程的情况下,上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中发送调度请求使用的资源所在的上行载波。
可以看出,本申请实施例中的终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)还可以通过判断下行参考信号的信号质量与信号质量阈值之间的大小关系,确定发起随机接入的上行载波。
本申请实施例中终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)确定发起随机接入的上行载波的方法有多种,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
可选的,在本申请的另一种可能的实现方式中,在上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中确定发起随机接入的上行载波之前,终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)还接收接入网设备发送的用于触发随机接入过程的第三信息。
本申请实施例中的终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)可以根据接入网设备的指示发起随机接入,也可以根据自身需求发起随机接入,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
可选的,在本申请的另一种可能的实现方式中,上述第三信息为物理下行控制信道命令,物理下行控制信道命令包括第四信息和第五信息中的至少一个,第四信息包括接入网设备为有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中每个上行载波的调度信息所配置的搜索空间位置信息,第五信息包括接入网设备为有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中每个上行载波所配置的无线网络临时标识(Radio Network Temporary Identifier,RNTI)。
在第三信息为物理下行控制信道命令,物理下行控制信道命令包括第四信息和第五信息中的至少一个的场景中,终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)根据第四信息和第五信息中的至少一个能够确定出在上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中发起随机接入的上行载波。这样,终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)根据第三信息直接在该终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)确定出的发起随机接入的上行载波上发起随机接入。
结合前述“根据第二信息,确定上述发起随机接入的上行载波”可知,本申请实施例中的接入网设备可采用不同的方式向终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)发送用于确定发起随机接入的上行载波的信息。
可选的,在本申请的另一种可能的实现方式中,在“有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中确定发起随机接入的上行载波”之后,终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)还确定上述发起随机接入的上行载波中当前被激活的子带,若当前被激活的子带不是预设子带,则该终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)将当前被激活的子带切换为预设子带。在这种场景中,上述“在发起随机接入的上行载波上发起随机接入”的方法为:在发起随机接入的上行载波上通过预设子带中的随机接入资源发起随机接入。在某些文献中,子带又称宽带部分(bandwith parts,BWP)。
本申请实施例中的子带是指载波中一系列连续的物理资源块或资源块。预设子带是通信系统中有随机接入资源的上行载波中,预先被配置有随机接入资源的子带。现有的标准协议规定:终端设备采用载波中当前被激活的子带中的资源传输数据。某一载波中当前被激活的子带不一定是预设子带。当发起随机接入的上行载波中当前被激活的子带不是预设子带时,终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)将发起随机接入的上行载波中当前被激活的子带切换为预设子带,提高了随机接入的成功率。
可选的,在本申请的另一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)还配置有第一计数器,该第一计数器用于记录重新发起随机接入的次数;或者,终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)为上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中的每个上行载波分别配置第二计数器,该第二计数器用于记录在对应上行载波上重新发起随机接入的次数。
可选的,在本申请的另一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)还配置有第三计数器和第一预设功率爬坡步长,该第三计数器用于记录在重新发起随机接入时发送功率的变化次数,发送功率的数值基于第一预设功率爬坡步长发生变化;或者,终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)为上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中的每个上行载波分别配置第四计数器和第二预设功率爬坡步长,该第四计数器用于记录在对应上行载波上重新发起随机接入时发送功率的变化次数,发送功率的数值基于与重新发起随机接入采用的上行载波对应的第二预设功率爬坡步长发生变化。
本申请实施例中的终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)在发起随机接入的上行载波上发起随机接入时,可能会存在失败的情况。当终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)发起的随机接入失败时,该终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)可在上述发起随机接入的上行载波上重新发起随机接入,也可以采用本申请实施例提供的随机接入方法重新选择一个发起随机接入的上行载波,并在重新选择的发起随机接入的上行载波上再次发起随机接入。

在本申请实施例中,“示例性的”或者“例如”等词用于表示作例子、例证或说明。本申请实施例中被描述为“示例性的”或者“例如”的任何实施例或设计方案不应被解释为比其它实施例或设计方案更优选或更具优势。确切而言,使用“示例性的”或者“例如”等词旨在以具体方式呈现相关概念。
本申请的说明书和权利要求书中的术语“第一”和“第二”等是用于区别不同的对象,而不是用于描述对象的特定顺序。例如,第一信息和第二信息等是用于区别不同的数据块,而不是用于描述数据块的特定顺序。
现有的通信系统中,为了能够尽可能的节省终端设备的功耗,为终端设备定义了多种通信状态。例如,如果终端设备与基站建立了通信连接,则定义终端设备处于连接(Connected)态(或Connected模式)。如果终端设备处于待机状态,则定义终端设备处于空闲(Idle)态(或者Idle模式)。
5G系统中,基站与终端设备之间采用高频资源完成业务通信,即二者发送数据 采用的载波为高频载波。一般的,终端设备的发送功率较低,这样,在5G系统中,当终端设备处于小区边缘区域、向基站发送信号时,由于高频信号在传输过程中传输损耗较大、且穿透能力较弱,因此,基站可能无法接收到该终端设备发送的信号,但是,该终端设备可以接收到基站通过高频下行链路发送的信号。这样就出现了上下行覆盖不对称的问题。
为了解决上下行覆盖不对称的问题,5G系统中的终端设备在某一小区中被配置有一个PUL和至少一个SUL,SUL归属的频段小于PUL归属的频段。SUL用于辅助终端设备传输上行数据。其中,终端设备在采用相同发射功率向基站发送上行数据时,在PUL上发送上行数据时的传输距离相较于在SUL上发送上行数据时的传输距离远。
需要说明的是,本申请中PUL和SUL这两个名称仅是用于区分原有的高频频段上行载波和引入的低频频段上行载波,随着通信技术的演进,PUL和SUL这一名称可能会变化,本申请实施例在此并未做具体的限制。
在终端设备在某一小区中被配置有一个PUL和至少一个SUL的场景中,处于Idle态的终端设备可以通过判断下行参考信号的RSRP与预设的RSRP阈值之间的大小关系,在PUL和至少一个SUL中确定出的发起随机接入的上行载波。
示例性的,如图1所示,通信系统包括基站、终端设备1以及终端设备2,基站为终端设备1和终端设备2均提供服务,终端设备1和终端设备2位于该基站对应的某一小区中、均被配置有一个PUL和一个SUL、且均处于Idle态。若终端设备1确定下行参考信号的RSRP大于或等于预设的RSRP阈值,则表明终端设备1位于该小区的中心区域,此时终端设备1可以选择PUL发起随机接入。若终端设备2确定下行参考信号的RSRP小于预设的RSRP阈值,则表明终端设备2位于该小区的边缘区域,终端设备2可选择SUL发起随机接入。
但是,在终端设备在某一小区中被配置有一个PUL和至少一个SUL的场景中,目前还不存在处于连接态(Connected)的终端设备如何确定发起随机接入的上行载波,以实现该终端设备完成随机接入的方法。
针对上述问题,本申请实施例提供一种随机接入方法,该随机接入方法应用于处于连接态、且被配置有至少两个上行载波的终端设备中的芯片或者所述终端设备。终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)在接收到接入网设备发送的用于确定上述至少两个上行载波中有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波的第一信息后,在上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中确定发起随机接入的上行载波,这样,该终端设备(或终端设备中的芯片)即可在上述发起随机接入的上行载波上发起随机接入。
本申请实施例提供的随机接入方法适用于通信系统。该通信系统可以是5G系统,也可以是LTE系统,还可以是其他为终端设备被配置有至少两个上行载波的通信系统,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
图2是本申请实施例提供的通信系统的结构示意图。参见图2,该通信系统包括多个终端设备和接入网设备21,每个终端设备与接入网设备21之间可以通过无线电波进行数据传输,也可以通过可见光、激光、红外、光量子、电力线、光纤、同轴电缆、铜绞线等进行数据传输。每个终端设备被配置有至少两个上行载波,例如,至少两个上行载波包括一个PUL和至少一个SUL。
图2示出了6个终端设备,这6个终端设备分别为终端设备1、终端设备2、终端设备3、终端设备4、终端设备5、终端设备6。图2中的终端设备4、终端设备5以及终端设备6还组成一个设备到设备(Device to Device,D2D)通信系统,终端设备4和终端设备6分别通过终端设备5与接入网设备21通信。
本申请实施例中的终端设备可以是指能够接收接入网设备21发送的调度信息和指示信息的无线终端设备。无线终端设备可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备,具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备。例如,该无线终端设备为MTU UE。
无线终端设备可以经无线接入网(例如,RAN,英文:Radio Access Network)与一个或多个核心网进行通信。无线终端设备可以是移动终端设备,如移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)和具有移动终端设备的计算机,也可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置,它们与无线接入网交换语言和/或数据,例如,手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、上网本、个人数字助理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)。该无线终端设备也可以称为终端设备。
示例性的,在本申请实施例中,图2所示的终端设备可以为智能手机,下面结合图3对智能手机的各个构成部件进行具体的介绍。

下面将详细介绍本申请提供的随机接入方法。
图5为本申请实施例提供的一种随机接入方法的流程示意图,该随机接入方法可以应用在图2所示的通信系统中。如图5所示,本申请实施例提供的随机接入方法中,S500和S501由图2所示的接入网设备21执行,具体可由接入网设备21中的处理器执行。另外,S502和S503由图2所示的终端设备执行,具体可由终端设备中的处理器执行。实际应用中,接入网设备中的处理器和终端设备中的处理器均可以芯片的形式存在。本申请实施例中的终端设备在一个小区中被配置有至少两个上行载波。为了便于描述,后续内容所涉及到的终端设备均用于表示在一个小区中被配置有至少两个上行载波的终端设备。
为了便于描述,本申请实施例均以终端设备和接入网设备为例进行说明。
参见图5,该随机接入方法包括如下步骤。
S500、接入网设备向终端设备发送第一信息,该第一信息用于确定至少两个上行载波中有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波。
可选的,接入网设备通过无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令发送第一信息,还可以通过其他高层信令发送第一信息,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
在第一种实现方式中,本申请实施例中的第一信息可以包括随机接入资源的时域信息以及随机接入资源的频域信息。
在这种场景中,终端设备基于其被配置的至少两个上行载波,根据随机接入资源的时域信息和随机接入资源的频域信息即可确定出至少两个上行载波中有随机接入资源的上行载波。
在第二种实现方式中,本申请实施例中的第一信息可以包括随机接入资源的时域信息、随机接入资源的频域信息以及至少两个上行载波中某些上行载波的标识。
在这种场景中,终端设备根据第一信息包括的至少两个上行载波中某些上行载波的标识即可直接确定出至少两个上行载波中有随机接入资源的上行载波。
除了上述描述,本申请实施例中的第一信息还可以为其他能够用于确定至少两个上行载波中有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
S501、接入网设备向终端设备发送第二信息,该第二信息用于指示发起随机接入的上行载波。
具体的,接入网设备根据上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中每个上行载波的负载,确定能够用于发起随机接入的上行载波,并向终端设备发送第二信息,该第二信息用于指示发起随机接入的上行载波。
可选的,第二信息为发起随机接入的上行载波的在至少两个上行载波中的编号,也可以为其他能够用于表示发起随机接入的上行载波的标识,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
本实施例中,接入网设备可通过RRC配置信令向终端设备发送第二信息,也可以通过RRC重配置信令向终端设备发送第二信息,还可以通过其他RRC信令向终端设备发送第二信息,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
S502、终端设备根据第二信息,确定发起随机接入的上行载波。
可选的,在终端设备的调度请求失败的情况下,或者在终端设备没有可用的用于调度请求的资源的情况下,该终端设备触发发起随机接入过程。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的终端设备还可在其他情况下触发发起随机接入过程,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
在终端设备需要发起随机接入的场景中,该终端设备需确定出发起随机接入的上行载波。由于第二信息用于指示发起随机接入的上行载波,这样,终端设备在接收到接入网设备发送的第二信息后,根据第二信息即可直接确定出发起随机接入的上行载波。
S503、终端设备在确定出的发起随机接入的上行载波上发起随机接入。
在S502中,终端设备确定出了发起随机接入的上行载波,这样,该终端设备直接在确定出的发起随机接入的上行载波上发起随机接入。具体的,该终端设备在确定出的发起随机接入的上行载波上向接入网设备发送包括前导序列(preamble)的随机接入请求。相应的,接入网设备会向终端设备发送对应的随机接入响应。
目前,一个载波被配置有四个子带,在某些文献中子带又称为BWP(Bandwidth Part)。在同一时间,一个载波中的四个子带中只有一个子带会被激活。子带由一系列连续的资源块(Resource Block,RB)或者物理资源块(Physical Resource Block,PRB)构成。NR中规定:终端设备采用载波中当前被激活的子带中的资源传输数据。
但是,载波中当前被激活的子带不一定有资源。为了保证终端设备能够成功的完成随机接入,本申请实施例将通信系统中有随机接入资源的载波中,预先被配置有资源的BWP统称为预设BWP。例如:预设BWP为初始BWP(Initial BWP)、默认BWP(default BWP)或小区自定义BWP(cell defining BWP)。这样,终端设备在发起随机接入的上行载波上通过预设BWP中的随机接入资源即可完成随机接入。
需要说明的是,BWP仅为子带的名称的一种表现形式。随着通信技术的演进,BWP的这一名称可能会变化,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
具体的,终端设备在确定出发起随机接入的上行载波后,确定该发起随机接入的上行载波中当前被激活的子带;该终端设备判断该发起随机接入的上行载波中当前被激活的子带是否为该发起随机接入的上行载波中的预设子带;若该发起随机接入的上行载波中当前被激活的子带不是该发起随机接入的上行载波中的预设子带,则该终端设备将该发起随机接入的上行载波中当前被激活的子带切换为该发起随机接入的上行载波中的预设子带,并在该发起随机接入的上行载波上通过该发起随机接入的上行载波的预设子带中的随机接入资源发起随机接入;若该发起随机接入的上行载波中当前被激活的子带是该发起随机接入的上行载波中的预设子带,则该终端设备在该发起随机接入的上行载波上通过该发起随机接入的上行载波中当前被激活子带中的随机接入资源发起随机接入。
本实施例中的终端设备根据接入网设备的指示,确定发起随机接入的上行载波,并在该发起随机接入的上行载波上发起随机接入,实现了对随机接入资源的灵活调度,避免了通信系统负载不均衡的情况。
本申请提供的随机接入方法中,终端设备可以根据接入网设备的指示,确定发起随机接入的上行载波,也可以根据需求,自主确定发起随机接入的上行载波。图5所示的实施例描述了终端设备根据接入网设备的指示,确定发起随机接入的上行载波的过程。现对终端设备根据需求,自主确定发起随机接入的上行载波的过程。
如图6所示,本申请实施例提供的随机接入方法中,S600由图2所示的接入网设备21执行,具体可由接入网设备21中的处理器执行。另外,S601、S602和S603由图2所示的终端设备执行,具体可由终端设备中的处理器执行。
参见图6,本申请实施例提供的随机接入方法包括如下步骤。
S600、接入网设备向终端设备发送第一信息,该第一信息用于确定至少两个上行载波中有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波。
S600可以参考上述S500,这里不再进行详细赘述。

需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的终端设备还可在其他情况下触发发起随机接入过程,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
在终端设备需要发起随机接入的场景中,该终端设备自主在上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中确定发起随机接入的上行载波。
本申请实施例中至少两个上行载波包括第一上行载波和N个第二上行载波,N≥1。这里,第一上行载波可以为上述PUL,第二上行载波可以为上述SUL。在这种情况下,终端设备自主在上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中确定发起随机接入的上行载波的方法可以为下述任意一种:
A、终端设备选取M个第二上行载波中的一个,并将选取出的第二上行载波确定为发起随机接入的上行载波。

E、在调度请求失败(Scheduling Request Failure,SR Failure)触发随机接入过程的情况下,终端设备将上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中发送所述调度请求使用的资源所在的上行载波确定为发起随机接入的上行载波。
S603、终端设备在确定出的发起随机接入的上行载波上发起随机接入。
S603参考上述S503的描述,这里不再对此进行详细赘述。
本实施例中的终端设备根据自身需求,自主确定发起随机接入的上行载波,并在确定出的发起随机接入请求的上行载波上发起随机接入请求。
除了上述图6所示的随机接入方法之外,本申请实施例中的接入网设备还可以向终端设备发送信号质量阈值,这样,终端设备可以通过判断下行参考信号的信号质量与信号质量阈值之间的大小关系,在上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中确定发起随机接入的上行载波。
如图7所示,本申请实施例提供的随机接入方法中,S700、S701和S702由图2所示的接入网设备21执行,具体可由接入网设备21中的处理器执行。另外,S703、S704和S705由图2所示的终端设备执行,具体可由终端设备中的处理器执行。
具体的,如图7所示,本申请实施例提供的随机接入方法包括如下步骤。
S700、接入网设备向终端设备发送信号质量阈值。
接入网设备配置信号质量阈值,并通过RRC配置信令或RRC重配置信令向终端设备发送其配置的信号质量阈值。
可选的,接入网设备可定时或周期性的向终端设备发送信号质量阈值,也可以根据至少两个上行载波的负载实时确定信号质量阈值,并在信号质量阈值发生变化时向终端设备变化后的信号质量阈值,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
本申请实施例中的信号质量可以用RSRP衡量,也可以用信号强度衡量,其他能够表示信号强度的参数衡量,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
S701、接入网设备向终端设备发送下行参考信号。
S702、接入网设备向终端设备发送第一信息,该第一信息用于确定至少两个上行载波中有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波。
S702可以参考上述S500,这里不再进行详细赘述。
接入网设备可以同时执行S700、S701以及S702,也可以先执行S700,后执行S701,最后执行S702,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
S703、终端设备获取下行参考信号的信号质量。
具体的,终端设备在获取到下行参考信号之后,测量下行参考信号的信号质量。
可选的,终端设备在接收到下行参考信号后,可以周期性测量该下行参考信号的信号质量,也可以定时测量该下行参考信号的信号质量,还可以在有发起随机接入的需求时测量该下行参考信号的信号质量,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
S704、终端设备判断下行参考信号的信号质量是否大于或等于信号质量阈值。
本实施例中的终端设备根据对下行参考信号的信号质量与信号质量阈值的大小判断结果,从有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中确定出发起随机接入的上行载波。具体的,若下行参考信号的信号质量小于信号质量阈值,终端设备执行S705;若下行参考信号的信号质量大于或等于信号质量阈值,终端设备执行S706a,或执行S706b,或执行S706c,或执行S706d。
S705、终端设备选取M个第二上行载波中的一个,并将选取出的第二上行载波确定为发起随机接入的上行载波。
有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波包括所述N个第二上行载波中的M个第二上行载波。
S705与上述终端设备确定发起随机接入的上行载波方法A相同。
S706a、在上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波包括第一上行载波的情况下,终端设备确定该第一上行载波为发起随机接入的上行载波。

S706d、在调度请求失败触发随机接入过程的情况下,终端设备将上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中发送所述调度请求使用的资源所在的上行载波确定为发起随机接入的上行载波。
S706d与上述终端设备确定发起随机接入的上行载波方法E相同。
S707、终端设备在确定出的发起随机接入的上行载波上发起随机接入。
S707参考上述S503,这里不再进行详细赘述。
从图6示出的实施例以及图7示出的实施例可以看出,本申请实施例中的终端设备可采用不同的方式,灵活的选择发起随机接入的上行载波,并在确定出的发起随机接入的上行载波上发起随机接入。
上述图5、图6以及图7所示的实施例,均为终端设备在有发起随机接入的需求后,该终端设备确定发起随机接入的上行载波。也就是说,上述图5、图6以及图7所示的实施例,均为终端设备自身触发随机接入过程。本申请实施例提供的随机接入方法,除了终端设备自身触发随机接入过程之外,还可以为接入网设备向终端设备发送相关信息,用于触发随机接入过程。
如图8所示,本申请实施例提供的随机接入方法中,S800和S801由图2所示的接入网设备21执行,具体可由接入网设备21中的处理器执行。另外,S802和S803由图2所示的终端设备执行,具体可由终端设备中的处理器执行。
具体的,如图8所示,本申请实施例提供的随机接入方法包括如下步骤。
S800、接入网设备向终端设备发送第一信息,该第一信息用于确定至少两个上行载波中有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波。
S800可以参考上述S500,这里不再进行详细赘述。
S801、接入网设备向终端设备发送第三信息,该第三信息用于触发随机接入过程。
可选的,第三信息可以为RRC信令,也可以为物理下行控制信道命令(如PDCCH order),本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
在第三信息为物理下行控制信道命令的场景中,该物理下行控制信道命令包括第四信息和第五信息中的至少一个。其中,第四信息包括接入网设备为上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中每个上行载波的调度信息所配置的搜索空间位置信息,这里,上行载波的调度信息的搜索空间位置信息可以为上行载波的调度信息的搜索空间的起始位置信息。第五信息包括接入网设备为上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中每个上行载波所配置的RNTI。
S802、终端设备在上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中确定发起随机接入的上行载波。
若S801中的第三信息为RRC信令,则终端设备可采用图6所示实施例中确定发起随机接入的上行载波的方法确定发起随机接入的上行载波,即这里参考上述S602的描述。
若S801中的第三信息为物理下行控制信道命令,当物理下行控制信道命令包括第四信息时,终端设备在第四信息指示的搜索空间起始位置所对应的随机接入资源中获取某一上行载波对应的下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)。这样, 终端设备即可将与获取到的DCI所在的搜索空间位置对应的上行载波确定为发起随机接入的上行载波。
若S801中的第三信息为物理下行控制信道命令,当物理下行控制信道命令包括第五信息时,终端设备根据第五信息对随机接入资源中的DCI进行解码,这样,该终端设备能够获取某一上行载波对应的DCI。在使用与某一上行载波对应的RNTI成功解码出一个DCI后,终端设备即可将与解码使用的RNTI对应的上行载波确定为发起随机接入的上行载波。
S803、响应于第三信息,终端设备在确定出的发起随机接入的上行载波上发起随机接入。
由于第三信息为接入网设备触发发起随机接入,因此,在接收到第三信息后,终端设备响应该第三信息,在确定出的发起随机接入的上行载波上发起随机接入。
S803可以参考上述S503的描述。不同的是,上述S503为终端设备自身触发的随机接入,而S803为接入网设备通过信令指示终端设备触发的随机接入。
可选的,图8所示的实施例中,在终端设备确定发起随机接入的上行载波之前接入网设备还可以向终端设备发送用于指示发起随机接入的上行载波的第二信息,这样,终端设备根据第二信息即可直接确定出发起随机接入的上行载波。
结合图8,如图9所示,本申请实施例提供的随机接入方法在S802之前还包括如下步骤。
S804(可选的)、接入网设备向终端设备发送第二信息,该第二信息用于指示发起随机接入的上行载波。
S804可以参考上述S501的描述,这里不再进行详细赘述。
由于S804中第二信息用于指示发起随机接入的上行载波,因此,在图9所示的实施例的S802中,终端设备直接根据第二信息确定发起随机接入的上行载波,即与上述S502相同,这里不再进行详细赘述。
由于S804是可选的,因此图9中用虚线表示。
综上所述,本申请实施例中的终端设备既可根据接入网设备的指示触发随机接入,也可根据自身需求触发随机接入。同时,该终端设备既可根据接入网设备的指示确定发起随机接入的上行载波,也可自主确定发起随机接入的上行载波,有效的提高了随机接入的成功率,节约了系统开销,实现了系统中负载的均衡。
上述各实施例均描述了终端设备发起随机接入的过程。实际应用中,终端设备发起随机接入后,会存在随机接入失败的可能。在随机接入失败的场景中,本申请实施例中的终端设备可重新发起随机接入。
可选的,本申请实施例中的终端设备可以配置有第一计数器,该第一计数器用于记录终端设备重新发起随机接入的次数。
具体的,当终端设备在上述发起随机接入的上行载波上发起的随机接入过程失败后,终端设备重新发起随机接入,第一计数器的数值加一,直至第一计数器的数值达到该第一计数器的最大阈值。
需要说明的是,本申请中终端设备重新发起随机接入采用的上行载波与上一次发起随机接入采用的上行载波可以相同,也可以不同。终端设备重新发起随机接入采用 的上行载波可以根据上述图5~图9中任一实施例所示的方法确定,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
可选的,本申请实施例中上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中的每个上行载波分别配置有第二计数器,这里,第二计数器用于记录终端设备在对应上行载波上重新发起随机接入的次数。
具体的,在第一种实现方式中,当终端设备在上述发起随机接入的上行载波上发起的随机接入过程失败后,终端设备重新在该发起随机接入的上行载波上发起随机接入,与该发起随机接入的上行载波对应的第二计数器的数值加一,直至与该发起随机接入的上行载波对应的第二计数器的数值达到该第二计数器的最大阈值。
在第二种实现方式中,在上述发起随机接入的上行载波为接入网设备指定的场景中,当终端设备在上述发起随机接入的上行载波上发起的随机接入过程失败后,终端设备重新在该发起随机接入的上行载波上发起随机接入,此时,与该发起随机接入的上行载波对应的第二计数器的数值加一,直至与该发起随机接入的上行载波对应的第二计数器的数值达到该第二计数器的最大阈值。
在第三种实现方式中,当终端设备在上述发起随机接入的上行载波上发起的随机接入过程失败后,终端设备重新在发起随机接入,此时,与终端设备重新发起随机接入的上行载波对应的第二计数器的数值加一。每个第二计数器设置有一个最大阈值,当有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中的每个上行载波的第二计数器的数值均达到各自最大阈值时,终端设备发起随机接入的次数达到最大值。这里,每个第二计数器的最大阈值可以相同,也可以不同,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
可选的,本申请实施例中的终端设备配置有第一计数器,而且上述有随机接入资源的至少一个上行载波中的每个上行载波分别配置有第二计数器,第一计数器用于记录终端设备重新发起随机接入的次数,第二计数器用于记录终端设备在对应上行载波上重新发起随机接入的次数。
