一种物理随机接入信道PRACH资源的处理方法及装置
本申请要求于2018年9月28日提交中国专利局、申请号为201811146179.6、发明名称为“一种物理随机接入信道PRACH资源的处理方法及装置”以及于2019年2月14日提交中国专利局、申请号为201910114628.7、发明名称为“一种物理随机接入信道PRACH资源的处理方法及装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种物理随机接入信道PRACH资源的处理方法及装置。
背景技术
随机接入在长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统起着重要作用,是用户设备进行初始连接、切换、连接重建立,重新恢复上行同步的唯一策略。随机接入过程和确定性的上下行调度不同之处在于其具有随机性。首先,用户设备(user equipment,UE)在随机时刻选择前导序列接入;其次接入的结果也具有随机性,并不能保证100%的成功。随机接入控制算法作用就是尽量保证随机接入成功性,把不确定性控制在可接受的范围。
现有方案中,考虑了物理随机接入信道(physical random access channel,PRACH)算法,该算法包括ZC根序列索引自动规划算法、PRACH配置索引自动规划算法。通过网络规划为多个小区自动分配合理的前导索引,保证高速、半径较大小区优先分配检测性能较好的前导序列,且相邻小区分配不同前导序列以降低干扰;通过网络规划为多个小区自动分配合理的PRACH配置索引,降低同基站小区间PRACH干扰,以及不同基站间相邻小区总干扰。
然而,现有方案无法解决在新无线接入技术(new radio,NR)系统下的PRACH资源干扰问题。

具体实施方式
本申请实施例提供了一种PRACH资源的处理方法及装置,用于解决新无线接入技术NR系统下的物理随机接入信道PRACH资源干扰问题。
为了使本技术领域的人员更好地理解本申请方案,下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例进行描述。
本申请文件中提及的“第一”、“第二”、“第三”、“第四”等(如果存在)是用于区别类似的对象,而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。应该理解这样使用的数据在适当情况下可以互换,以便这里描述的实施例能够以除了在这里图示或描述的内容以外的顺序实施。此外,术语“包括”或“具有”及其任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含,例如,包含了一系列步骤或模块的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备不必限于清楚地列出的那些步骤或模块,而是可包括没有清楚地列出的或对于这些过程、方法、产品或设备固有的其它步骤或模块。
现有方案中,随机接入过程的随机接入通道(random access channel,RACH)资源选择,用户设备(user equipment,UE)需要选择传输随机前导序列的物理随机接入信道(physical random access channel,PRACH),或使用基站告知的PRACH传输专用前导序列,而小区每帧中可用的PRACH是由小区配置的PRACH配置(configuration)决定。该算法目的是为小区分配合理的PRACH配置索引(configuration Index),降低基站内小区PRACH干扰,同时降低基站间总干扰,例如,PRACH间干扰、物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH)对PRACH的干扰等。
由于新无线接入技术(new radio,NR)中引入了长短格式的前导码序列,而且NR中大多是高频小区,因此大多使用短序列,因此前导序列冲突可能会会更大。除此之外,NR系统由于引入了波束的概念,随机接入过程中涉及到如何选择波束的问题。
在本申请各个实施例中,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,所述索引信息可以对应配置终端的资源标识(identity,ID),比如,所述索引信息可以对应配置的CSI-RS的标识或者资源;也可以是对应配置的上行探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS)的标识或者资源。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。所述能量传输指向性可以指通过该预编码向量对所需发送的信号进行预编码处理,经过该预编码处理的信号具有一定的空间指向性,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,同一通信装置(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。针对通信装置的配置或者 能力,一个通信装置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波束或者多个波束。在本申请中,网络设备向终端设备发送的波束被称为下行波束,终端设备向网络设备发送的波束被称为上行波束。波束的配置可以通过RRC来配置,SSB是通过广播消息发送给UE的,CSI-RS可以通过无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)专有信令配置给UE的。其中,SSB和CSI-RS分别会配置两个门限值(rsrp-ThresholdSSB,csirs-Threshold),两个门限值用于UE选择波束,网络侧可以为UE配置基于SSB或者CSI-RS的测量信息,UE测量SSB的参考信号接收功(synchronization signal block reference signal received power,SSB-RSRP)或者CSI的参考信号接收功(channel state information reference signal received power,CSI-RSRP)。当UE的SSB-RSRP信号质量超过SSB的RSRP门限值时,UE就选择对应的SSB下的前导序列(preamble)进行随机接入。
在本申请各个实施例中,补充上行载波是NR系统下引入的一个新的定义,即一个小区可以具有至少一个下行载波和至少一个上行载波,如,一个小区可以具有一个下行载波和两个上行载波,本申请对小区所具有的下行载波和下行载波个数的说明为可选的说明,具体不做限定。UE可以选择任意上行载波进行数据传输。上行载波可以包括常规的上行(Uplink,UL)载波和补充上行(supplementary uplink,SUL)载波,当终端设备初始随机接入时,终端设备可以根据所测量到的SUL的参考信号强度与一个SUL的参考信号接收功率门限(比如具体为rsrpthresholdSUL)相比,从而决定选择常规的UL载波还是SUL载波,示例性的,SUL的参考信号接收功率门限可以是无线接入网设备通过RRC信令配置给终端设备,例如无线接入网设备通过广播信息发送rsrpthresholdSUL给终端设备的,用于终端设备初始随机接入时选择SUL或者UL;或者,当终端设备在切换场景下时,无线接入网设备可以通过专有信令指示终端设备使用UL或者SUL,还是同时使用UL和SUL。本申请中的上行载波可以包括常规上行载波和/或补充上行载波。
在NR系统下,如果继承现有的方案,将无法解决在NR系统下引入长短格式、波束恢复(beam failure recovery,BFR)专用PRACH资源以及上行载波专用的PRACH资源等问题,以及应用在集中式单元-分布式单元(central unit-distributed unit,CU-DU)场景、LTE和NR的多链接(E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity,EN-DC)等场景下的PRACH资源协调问题。
本申请实施例可应用于NR系统单独部署基站(standalone,SA)的场景、NR的CU-DU场景、EN-DC场景,以及多RAT下的多链接(Multi-RAT dual connectivity,MR-DC)场景等。例如,如图1所示的CU-DU网络架构,该网络架构中,NR基站的集中式单元(gNB-CU)和NR基站的分布式单元(gNB-DU)之间通过F1接口连接,gNB之间通过Xn接口连接,gNB与NR的核心网(5G core network,5GC)之间通过NG接口连接。其中,CU和DU的一种可能的实现方式为按照协议栈功能划分,例如,CU具有分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层以上功能,具体包括业务数据适配层(service data adaptation protocol,SDAP)层功能、PDCP层功能、无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)功能和业务数据适应层(service data adaptation protocol,SDAP)功能;DU具有PDCP层以下功能,具体包括无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)功能、媒体 访问控制(medium access control,MAC)MAC功能和物理层(physical layer,PHY)功能。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例还可以扩展到多跳中继场景,例如DU可以是中继设备,或者DU和UE之间通过中继设备传输的场景。本申请实施例还可以应用在其他多链接的数据传输的场景中,具体此处不做限定。
