ランダムアクセス手順におけるパラメータ設定を行う端末装置、基地局装置、通信方法、及びプログラムTerminal equipment, base station equipment, communication methods, and programs for setting parameters in random access procedures
 本発明は、端末装置、基地局装置、通信方法、及びプログラムに関するものであり、具体的には、ランダムアクセス手順におけるパラメータ設定技術に関する。 The present invention relates to a terminal device, a base station device, a communication method, and a program, and specifically, relates to a parameter setting technique in a random access procedure.
 第3世代パートナーシッププロジェクトによる第5世代(5G)のNR(New Radio)規格において、基地局装置と端末装置との間の接続の確立のための手順として、ランダムアクセス手順が定められている。ランダムアクセス手順は、例えば、基地局装置と端末装置の初期接続時や、端末装置がハンドオーバ時にハンドオーバ先の基地局装置と接続する際に用いられる。ランダムアクセス手順は、4ステップRACH(Random Access Channel)を含む。4ステップRACHでは、まず、端末装置が、ランダムアクセスプリアンブル(メッセージ1)を基地局装置へ送信し、基地局装置が、そのランダムアクセスプリアンブルに応答してランダムアクセスレスポンス(メッセージ2)を端末装置へ送信する。その後、端末装置が、RRC(Radio Resource Control) Connection Requestメッセージ(メッセージ3)を基地局装置へ送信し、基地局装置が、RRC Connection Setupメッセージ(メッセージ4)を端末装置へ送信する。4ステップRACHでは、これらの4つのメッセージの送受信が行われた後に、基地局装置と端末装置との間の接続が確立される。 In the 5th generation (5G) NR (New Radio) standard by the 3rd generation partnership project, a random access procedure is defined as a procedure for establishing a connection between a base station device and a terminal device. The random access procedure is used, for example, when the base station device and the terminal device are initially connected, or when the terminal device connects to the handover destination base station device at the time of handover. The random access procedure includes a 4-step RACH (Random Access Channel). In the 4-step RACH, the terminal device first transmits a random access preamble (message 1) to the base station device, and the base station device sends a random access response (message 2) to the terminal device in response to the random access preamble. Send. After that, the terminal device transmits an RRC (RadioResourceControl) ConnectionRequest message (message 3) to the base station device, and the base station device transmits an RRCConnectionSetup message (message 4) to the terminal device. In the 4-step RACH, the connection between the base station device and the terminal device is established after the transmission and reception of these four messages are performed.
 非特許文献1には、4ステップRACHにおける送信電力制御方法が規定されている。この送信電力制御方法では、まず、端末装置が、基地局装置から送信される報知信号に含まれるターゲット受信電力と、自装置が測定した伝送路におけるパスロスとに基づいてメッセージ1の初期送信電力を決定する。そして、端末装置は、初期送信電力でメッセージ1を送信後に、そのメッセージ1に対する応答であるメッセージ2を所定期間内に受信しなかった場合、上述の報知信号に含まれる所定の電力幅だけ送信電力を増加させてメッセージ1を再送する。この手順を繰り返すことにより、基地局装置は、メッセージ1を受信することができるようになる。また、メッセージ3は、メッセージ2を受信したタイミングでのメッセージ1の送信電力や、別途報知される情報に基づいて送信電力が決定される。さらに、メッセージ3は、再送制御に関連した高精度な送信電力制御を用いて高精度に送信電力が制御される。また、端末装置は、メッセージ2に含まれるタイミングアドバンス(TA)の情報を用いて、メッセージ3の送信タイミングを調整する。これにより、基地局装置において受信される他の端末装置からの信号との受信タイミング差を一定の範囲内に抑えることができ、この結果、他の端末装置からの信号との直交性を担保することができる。 Non-Patent Document 1 defines a transmission power control method in 4-step RACH. In this transmission power control method, the terminal device first determines the initial transmission power of the message 1 based on the target reception power included in the notification signal transmitted from the base station device and the path loss in the transmission line measured by the own device. decide. Then, if the terminal device does not receive the message 2 which is the response to the message 1 within the predetermined period after transmitting the message 1 with the initial transmission power, the transmission power is equal to the predetermined power width included in the above-mentioned notification signal. Is increased to retransmit the message 1. By repeating this procedure, the base station apparatus can receive the message 1. Further, the transmission power of the message 3 is determined based on the transmission power of the message 1 at the timing when the message 2 is received and the information separately notified. Further, in the message 3, the transmission power is controlled with high accuracy by using the high-precision transmission power control related to the retransmission control. Further, the terminal device adjusts the transmission timing of the message 3 by using the information of the timing advance (TA) included in the message 2. As a result, the reception timing difference with the signal from the other terminal device received in the base station device can be suppressed within a certain range, and as a result, the orthogonality with the signal from the other terminal device is ensured. be able to.
 また、初期接続時間の短縮のために、ランダムアクセス手順を2ステップにした2ステップRACHが検討されている(非特許文献2参照)。2ステップRACHでは、端末装置は、上述の4ステップRACHのメッセージ1に対応するランダムアクセスプリアンブル部分とメッセージ3に対応する物理上りリンク共有チャネル(PUSCH)の部分とを含んだメッセージAを送信する。そして、基地局装置は、上述のメッセージ2及びメッセージ4に対応するメッセージBを送信する。2ステップRACHでは、このような2ステップの処理によって基地局装置と端末装置との間の接続が確立される。 Further, in order to shorten the initial connection time, a 2-step RACH in which the random access procedure is made into 2 steps is being studied (see Non-Patent Document 2). In the two-step RACH, the terminal device transmits a message A including a random access preamble portion corresponding to the message 1 of the four-step RACH and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) portion corresponding to the message 3. Then, the base station apparatus transmits the message B corresponding to the above-mentioned message 2 and message 4. In the two-step RACH, the connection between the base station device and the terminal device is established by such a two-step process.
 2ステップRACHでは、端末装置の送信電力やタイミング等のパラメータが適切に設定されなければ、信号の受信に失敗したことによる再送や、他の端末装置からの信号との干渉等が生じてしまう。 In 2-step RACH, if parameters such as transmission power and timing of the terminal device are not set appropriately, retransmission due to failure in signal reception, interference with signals from other terminal devices, etc. will occur.
 本発明は、2ステップRACHを用いる端末装置における適切なパラメータ設定技術を提供する。 The present invention provides an appropriate parameter setting technique in a terminal device using 2-step RACH.

 (ネットワーク構成)
 図1に、本実施形態に係る無線通信ネットワークの構成例を示す。本実施形態に係る無線通信ネットワークは、一例において、基地局装置101と、その基地局装置101が形成するセル103の範囲内に滞在しており、基地局装置101と接続して通信を行うことができる端末装置102とを含んで構成される。なお、図1では、1つの基地局装置101と1つの端末装置102が示されているが、一般性を失うことなく、多数の基地局装置及び多数の端末装置が存在しうる。
(Network configuration)
FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of a wireless communication network according to this embodiment. In one example, the wireless communication network according to the present embodiment stays within the range of the base station device 101 and the cell 103 formed by the base station device 101, and connects to the base station device 101 for communication. It is configured to include a terminal device 102 capable of performing. Although one base station device 101 and one terminal device 102 are shown in FIG. 1, a large number of base station devices and a large number of terminal devices can exist without losing generality.
 端末装置102は、基地局装置101と接続を確立するために、ランダムアクセス手順を実行する。上述のように、ランダムアクセス手順は4ステップRACHと2ステップRACHのいずれかによって実行されうる。 The terminal device 102 executes a random access procedure in order to establish a connection with the base station device 101. As mentioned above, the random access procedure can be performed by either 4-step RACH or 2-step RACH.
 4ステップRACHでは、まず、端末装置102がランダムアクセスプリアンブル(メッセージ1)を送信し、基地局装置101が応答メッセージとしてランダムアクセスレスポンス(メッセージ2)を送信する。このとき、端末装置102は、基地局装置101から送信された報知信号を受信して、事前に、メッセージ1のターゲット受信電力の情報を取得する。ターゲット受信電力は、基地局装置101におけるメッセージ1の所望受信電力である。そして、端末装置102は、基地局装置101と端末装置102との間の伝送路のパスロスに基づいて、メッセージ1がこのターゲット受信電力で基地局装置101に届くように送信電力を決定する。例えば、端末装置102は、ターゲット受信電力がPPre_Targetであり、パスロスの大きさがPLで表される場合に、PPre_Target+PLを初期送信電力として決定する。その後、端末装置102は、メッセージ1を送信後の所定期間の間に基地局装置101からメッセージ2を受信しなかった場合、メッセージ1の送信電力を事前に基地局装置101から報知された電力幅Δだけ上昇させて、メッセージ1を再送する。すなわち、端末装置102は、メッセージ1の初回送信時の送信電力をPとすると、1回目の再送時には送信電力をP+Δとし、2回目の再送時には送信電力P+2Δとして、メッセージ2が受信されるまで、メッセージ1の再送を繰り返す。なお、端末装置102は、送信電力が自装置の最大許容送信電力まで達した場合には、それ以降は送信電力を上昇させない。なお、端末装置102は、同じデータを複数回送信することによって利得を得る繰り返し送信を用いてメッセージ1を送信してもよい。 In the 4-step RACH, first, the terminal device 102 transmits a random access preamble (message 1), and the base station device 101 transmits a random access response (message 2) as a response message. At this time, the terminal device 102 receives the notification signal transmitted from the base station device 101, and acquires the target received power information of the message 1 in advance. The target received power is the desired received power of the message 1 in the base station apparatus 101. Then, the terminal device 102 determines the transmission power so that the message 1 reaches the base station device 101 with this target received power based on the path loss of the transmission line between the base station device 101 and the terminal device 102. For example, the terminal device 102 determines P Pre_Target + PL as the initial transmission power when the target reception power is P Pre_Target and the magnitude of the path loss is represented by PL. After that, when the terminal device 102 does not receive the message 2 from the base station device 101 within a predetermined period after the message 1 is transmitted, the transmission power of the message 1 is notified in advance from the base station device 101. The message 1 is retransmitted by increasing the value by Δ. That is, if the transmission power at the time of the first transmission of the message 1 is P, the terminal device 102 sets the transmission power at P + Δ at the first retransmission and the transmission power P + 2Δ at the second retransmission until the message 2 is received. Retransmission of message 1 is repeated. When the transmission power reaches the maximum allowable transmission power of the terminal device 102, the terminal device 102 does not increase the transmission power thereafter. Note that the terminal device 102 may transmit the message 1 by using repeated transmission in which a gain is obtained by transmitting the same data a plurality of times.
 端末装置102は、メッセージ2を受信したことに応答して、ランダムアクセス手順のメッセージ3(RRC (Radio Resource Control) Connection Request)を送信する。メッセージ3は、メッセージ2を用いて割り当てられた無線リソースを介して送信され、接続確立のための付加情報を基地局装置101に通知するのに使用されうる。なお、メッセージ3の初期送信電力は、メッセージ1のターゲット受信電力とは別個に報知されるターゲット受信電力と、メッセージ2を受信した際のメッセージ1の送信電力と、メッセージ3の変調方式や、サブキャリア幅等に基づいて決定される。また、メッセージ3は、HARQ(複合自動再送要求)及び再送における閉ループでの送信電力制御によって、送信電力が制御される。例えば、メッセージ3の送信電力が小さいときは送信電力を上昇させる指示が基地局装置101から端末装置102へ通知されることにより、メッセージ3の送信電力が適切に制御される。また、端末装置102は、メッセージ2で通知されたタイミングアドバンス(TA)に従ってメッセージ3の送信タイミングを制御しうる。この送信タイミング制御により、基地局装置において受信される複数の端末装置からの信号の受信タイミング差が一定の大きさの範囲内に抑えられ、複数の信号間で直交性が担保されるため、復調等を容易に行うことが可能となる。基地局装置101は、端末装置102からメッセージ3を受信すると、それに対する応答メッセージとして、メッセージ4(RRC Connection Setup)を端末装置102へ送信する。4ステップRACHでは、この4つのメッセージの送受信によって、基地局装置101と端末装置102との間の接続が確立される。その後、端末装置102は、接続が確立されたことを示すメッセージを基地局装置101へ送信し、データ通信を開始する。 In response to receiving the message 2, the terminal device 102 transmits the message 3 (RRC (Radio Resource Control) Connection Request) of the random access procedure. The message 3 is transmitted via the radio resource allocated using the message 2 and can be used to notify the base station apparatus 101 of additional information for establishing a connection. The initial transmission power of the message 3 is the target reception power notified separately from the target reception power of the message 1, the transmission power of the message 1 when the message 2 is received, the modulation method of the message 3, and the sub. Determined based on carrier width, etc. Further, the transmission power of the message 3 is controlled by HARQ (composite automatic repeat request) and transmission power control in a closed loop in retransmission. For example, when the transmission power of the message 3 is small, the base station device 101 notifies the terminal device 102 of an instruction to increase the transmission power, so that the transmission power of the message 3 is appropriately controlled. Further, the terminal device 102 can control the transmission timing of the message 3 according to the timing advance (TA) notified by the message 2. By this transmission timing control, the reception timing difference of the signals received from the plurality of terminal devices received in the base station device is suppressed within a certain size range, and the orthogonality is ensured among the plurality of signals, so that demodulation Etc. can be easily performed. When the base station device 101 receives the message 3 from the terminal device 102, the base station device 101 transmits a message 4 (RRCConnectionSetup) to the terminal device 102 as a response message to the message 3. In the 4-step RACH, the connection between the base station device 101 and the terminal device 102 is established by transmitting and receiving these four messages. After that, the terminal device 102 transmits a message indicating that the connection has been established to the base station device 101, and starts data communication.
 一方、2ステップRACHでは、端末装置102が、上述のメッセージ1に相当する第1の部分とメッセージ3に相当する第2の部分とを含んだメッセージAを送信する。そして、基地局装置101は、メッセージAに対する応答メッセージとして、上述のメッセージ2に相当する部分とメッセージ4に相当する部分とを含んだメッセージBを送信する。2ステップRACHでは、このように2つのメッセージが送受信されることにより、基地局装置101と端末装置102との間の接続が確立する。 On the other hand, in the 2-step RACH, the terminal device 102 transmits a message A including the first part corresponding to the above-mentioned message 1 and the second part corresponding to the message 3. Then, the base station apparatus 101 transmits a message B including a portion corresponding to the above-mentioned message 2 and a portion corresponding to the message 4 as a response message to the message A. In the two-step RACH, the connection between the base station device 101 and the terminal device 102 is established by transmitting and receiving the two messages in this way.
 本実施形態では、端末装置102は、2ステップRACHを用いて、基地局装置101との接続確立を試行するものとする。2ステップRACHでは、上述のように2つのメッセージが送受信されるだけで接続が確立するため、接続が確立されるまでの期間を短縮することができる。しかしながら、4ステップRACHでは、メッセージ3の送信前にタイミングアドバンス情報が通知されることによって、メッセージ3の送信タイミングの調整を適切に実行することができるが、2ステップRACHでは、タイミングアドバンス情報を有しないため、そのような調整を行うことができない。また、上述のように、4ステップRACHでは、メッセージ1とメッセージ3の送信電力制御の手法が異なり、メッセージ1又はメッセージ3の一方の送信電力制御方法に基づいてメッセージAの送信電力制御を行うと、いずれかのメッセージに相当する部分の電力が高すぎる又は低すぎることとなりうる。 In the present embodiment, the terminal device 102 attempts to establish a connection with the base station device 101 by using the 2-step RACH. In the two-step RACH, since the connection is established only by sending and receiving two messages as described above, the period until the connection is established can be shortened. However, in the 4-step RACH, the timing advance information is notified before the message 3 is transmitted, so that the adjustment of the transmission timing of the message 3 can be appropriately executed. However, in the 2-step RACH, the timing advance information is provided. Therefore, such adjustment cannot be made. Further, as described above, in the 4-step RACH, the transmission power control method of the message 1 and the message 3 is different, and the transmission power control of the message A is performed based on the transmission power control method of either the message 1 or the message 3. , The power of the part corresponding to any message can be too high or too low.
 このため、本実施形態の端末装置102は、1つのメッセージAに含まれる、メッセージ1に相当する第1の部分と、メッセージ3に相当する第2の部分とのそれぞれについて、異なる送信用パラメータを設定する。例えば、第1の部分については、ランダムアクセスチャネルの無線リソースを用いるように送信タイミングを設定し、第2の部分については、例えばパスロスに応じたタイミング調整量だけずらした送信タイミングを設定する。また、第1の部分についての送信電力と、第2の部分についての送信電力とを別個に設定する。 Therefore, the terminal device 102 of the present embodiment has different transmission parameters for each of the first portion corresponding to the message 1 and the second portion corresponding to the message 3 included in one message A. Set. For example, for the first part, the transmission timing is set so as to use the radio resources of the random access channel, and for the second part, for example, the transmission timing shifted by the timing adjustment amount according to the path loss is set. Further, the transmission power for the first part and the transmission power for the second part are set separately.
 このような制御を実行するために、基地局装置101は、メッセージAのパラメータの設定のための情報を端末装置102へ通知する。そして、端末装置102は、基地局装置101から受信した上述の情報に基づいて、上述の第1のパラメータと第2のパラメータを設定し、第1のパラメータを用いて生成された第1の部分と第2のパラメータを用いて生成された第2の部分とを含んだメッセージAを送信する。 In order to execute such control, the base station device 101 notifies the terminal device 102 of information for setting the parameter of the message A. Then, the terminal device 102 sets the above-mentioned first parameter and the second parameter based on the above-mentioned information received from the base station device 101, and the first portion generated by using the first parameter. Message A containing the second part and the second part generated using the second parameter is transmitted.
 ここで通知される情報は、(メッセージ1に相当する)第1の部分のための第1のパラメータと(メッセージ3に相当する)第2の部分のための第2のパラメータとを別個に設定するために用いる情報でありうる。例えば、第1のパラメータ及び第2のパラメータは、それぞれ第1の部分及び第2の部分に対応する送信電力パラメータでありうる。例えば、端末装置102は、メッセージAを送信した後の所定期間の間に、基地局装置101からメッセージBを受信しなかった場合に、メッセージAを再送するが、基地局装置101は、再送の際に送信電力をどの程度上昇させるかの電力幅についての情報を端末装置102へ通知しうる。このとき、基地局装置101は、第1の部分の送信電力を上昇させる際の電力幅を示す第1の量と、第2の部分の送信電力を上昇させる際の電力幅を示す第2の量とに関する情報を、端末装置102へ通知する。このとき、基地局装置101は、第1の量を示す情報および第2の量を示す情報を含んだ情報を端末装置102へ通知しうる。また、基地局装置101は、第1の量と第2の量とのいずれかを示す情報と、第1の量と第2の量との差分を示す情報とを含んだ情報を端末装置102へ通知してもよい。また、例えば、第1の量は4ステップRACHの場合のメッセージ1に関する電力の増加幅と同じであってもよく、その場合、基地局装置101は、第2の量と第1の量との差分のみをここで通知してもよい。すなわち、基地局装置101は、第1の量と第2の量とを特定可能な様々な情報を、端末装置102へ通知しうる。 The information notified here sets the first parameter for the first part (corresponding to message 1) and the second parameter for the second part (corresponding to message 3) separately. It can be information used to do so. For example, the first parameter and the second parameter can be transmission power parameters corresponding to the first portion and the second portion, respectively. For example, if the terminal device 102 does not receive the message B from the base station device 101 during a predetermined period after the message A is transmitted, the terminal device 102 retransmits the message A, but the base station device 101 retransmits the message A. At that time, the terminal device 102 can be notified of information about the power width of how much the transmission power is increased. At this time, the base station apparatus 101 has a first amount indicating the power width when increasing the transmission power of the first portion and a second amount indicating the power width when increasing the transmission power of the second portion. Information about the quantity is notified to the terminal device 102. At this time, the base station apparatus 101 may notify the terminal apparatus 102 of information including information indicating the first quantity and information indicating the second quantity. Further, the base station apparatus 101 provides information including information indicating either the first quantity and the second quantity and information indicating the difference between the first quantity and the second quantity in the terminal apparatus 102. You may notify to. Further, for example, the first amount may be the same as the increase width of the power related to the message 1 in the case of the 4-step RACH, and in that case, the base station apparatus 101 has the second amount and the first amount. Only the difference may be notified here. That is, the base station device 101 can notify the terminal device 102 of various information that can identify the first amount and the second amount.
 この場合、端末装置102は、メッセージAを再送することとなった場合に、メッセージAのうちの第1の部分の再送前の送信電力に第1の量を加算すると共に第2の部分の再送前の送信電力に第2の量を加算して、再送用のメッセージAを生成する。なお、第1の部分の初期送信電力は、4ステップRACHのメッセージ1の初期送信電力と同様に決定されうる。すなわち、第1の部分の初期送信電力PA1は、
 PA1=min{Pmax, PA1_target+PL}
のように決定されうる。ここで、Pmaxは、端末装置102の最大送信電力であり、PA1_targetは、第1の部分のターゲット受信電力、PLはパスロスに対応する値である。また、第2の部分の初期送信電力PA2は、
 PA2=min{Pmax, PA2_target+PL+α}
のように決定されうる。ここで、PA2_targetは、第2の部分のターゲット受信電力、αは第2の部分の送信に用いられるリソースブロックの数や変調方式に応じて定まる値である。そして、上述の第1の量がΔ1であり、第2の量がΔ2である場合、再送時の第1の部分の送信電力は、PA1+Δ1のように設定され、再送時の第2の部分の送信電力は、PA2+Δ2のように設定される。このようにして、第1の部分と第2の部分の送信電力が独立して設定されるようになるため、それぞれの部分に適した電力でメッセージAを送信することが可能となる。
In this case, when the message A is to be retransmitted, the terminal device 102 adds the first amount to the transmission power before the retransmission of the first portion of the message A and retransmits the second portion. A second amount is added to the previous transmission power to generate a message A for retransmission. The initial transmission power of the first portion can be determined in the same manner as the initial transmission power of the message 1 of the 4-step RACH. That is, the initial transmission power PA1 of the first part is
P A1 = min {P max , P A1_target + PL}
Can be determined as Here, P max is the maximum transmission power of the terminal device 102, PA1_target is the target reception power of the first portion, and PL is a value corresponding to the path loss. In addition, the initial transmission power PA2 of the second part is
P A2 = min {P max , P A2_target + PL + α}
Can be determined as Here, PA2_target is the target received power of the second part, and α is a value determined according to the number of resource blocks used for the transmission of the second part and the modulation method. When the above-mentioned first quantity is Δ 1 and the second quantity is Δ 2 , the transmission power of the first portion at the time of retransmission is set as PA1 + Δ 1 and at the time of retransmission. The transmission power of the second part is set as PA2 + Δ 2 . In this way, since the transmission powers of the first part and the second part are set independently, it is possible to transmit the message A with the power suitable for each part.
 なお、第1の部分及び第2の部分のターゲット受信電力は、事前に定められた値が用いられてもよく、この場合、これらのターゲット受信電力は、基地局装置101から端末装置102へ通知される必要はない。一方、第1の部分及び第2の部分のターゲット受信電力をフレキシブルに設定してもよく、その場合、基地局装置101から端末装置102へ、これらのターゲット受信電力が通知される。例えば、第1の部分に関する第1のターゲット受信電力と第2の部分に関する第2のターゲット受信電力とが、基地局装置101から端末装置102へ通知される。また、第1のターゲット受信電力と第2のターゲット受信電力とのいずれかを示す情報と、第1のターゲット受信電力と第2のターゲット受信電力との差分を示す情報とが、基地局装置101から端末装置102へ通知されてもよい。また、例えば、第1のターゲット受信電力は4ステップRACHの場合のメッセージ1に関するターゲット受信電力と同じであってもよく、その場合、基地局装置101は、第2のターゲット受信電力と第1のターゲット受信電力との差分のみをここで通知してもよい。すなわち、基地局装置101は、第1のターゲット受信電力と第2のターゲット受信電力とを特定可能な様々な情報を、端末装置102へ通知しうる。これによれば、基地局装置ごとに、例えば基地局装置の信号受信能力等に基づいて、ターゲット受信電力を設定することが可能となる。 In addition, a predetermined value may be used for the target received power of the first part and the second part, and in this case, these target received powers are notified from the base station apparatus 101 to the terminal apparatus 102. It doesn't have to be. On the other hand, the target received powers of the first portion and the second portion may be flexibly set, in which case the base station apparatus 101 notifies the terminal apparatus 102 of these target received powers. For example, the first target received power for the first portion and the second target received power for the second portion are notified from the base station apparatus 101 to the terminal apparatus 102. Further, the information indicating either the first target received power or the second target received power and the information indicating the difference between the first target received power and the second target received power are included in the base station apparatus 101. May notify the terminal device 102. Further, for example, the first target received power may be the same as the target received power related to the message 1 in the case of the 4-step RACH, in which case the base station apparatus 101 has the second target received power and the first target received power. Only the difference from the target received power may be notified here. That is, the base station device 101 can notify the terminal device 102 of various information that can identify the first target received power and the second target received power. According to this, it is possible to set the target reception power for each base station device, for example, based on the signal reception capability of the base station device.
 また、基地局装置101から端末装置102へ通知される情報は、少なくとも第2の部分についての、送信タイミングの調整量に関する情報を含みうる。この送信タイミングの調整量に関する情報は、パスロスと、送信タイミングの調整量の大きさとを関連付ける情報でありうる。すなわち、パスロスが小さい端末装置102ほど、基地局装置101に近い位置に存在すると予想されるため、例えば、送信タイミングの調整を行わず、パスロスが大きい端末装置102ほど、基地局装置101との距離が離れていることが予想されるため、送信タイミングを早くする。これにより、相対的に基地局装置からの距離が離れた位置の端末装置から早い送信タイミングで第2の部分が送信され、その第2の部分は、伝送路における遅延が生じた結果、相対的に基地局装置からの距離が近い位置に存在する端末装置から送信された第2の部分と同程度のタイミングで、基地局装置に到着することが期待できる。なお、このタイミングの調整量は、第1の部分に対して適用されてもよい。また、基地局装置101から通知される情報において、タイミングの調整量は、その調整量を、マイクロ秒等を単位とする絶対値で表した値(例えば「1マイクロ秒」など)や、サイクリックプリフィックス(CP)長やOFDMシンボル長やフレーム長等の所定の長さを基準として表した値(例えば「CP長の1/2」等)によって表現されうる。なお、位置とタイミング調整量との関係が用いられてもよい。すなわち、端末装置の位置に応じて、異なるタイミング調整量が用いられてもよい。この場合、基地局装置から離れた端末装置ほど、送信タイミングが早くなるように、送信タイミングの調整が行われる。また、パスロス/位置とタイミング調整量との関係は、過去の通信において接続後のデータ通信の際に用いられたタイミングアドバンスの値を収集しておき、適切な値となるように更新されてもよい。また、このとき、基地局装置101ごとに、このような更新が行われてもよい。これによれば、基地局装置101が配置されている環境に応じて、適切にパスロス/位置とタイミング調整量との関係を定めることができる。また、端末装置102は、例えば、過去の通信時に、自装置において推定されたパスロス/位置とタイミングアドバンス値との関係を収集しておき、その情報に基づいて、パスロス/位置とタイミングの調整量との関係を示すデータベースを構築してもよい。また、端末装置102は、前回の通信時に、接続先の基地局装置から、パスロスとタイミングの調整量の情報を取得しておいてもよい。また、パスロスとタイミングの調整量との関係を示す情報は、基地局装置ごとの情報として端末装置102へ通知されてもよい。端末装置102は、例えば、自宅や勤務先など、ユーザが滞在して通信を行う頻度の高いエリアにおける基地局装置についての、パスロスとタイミングの調整量との関係を示す情報を取得しておくことにより、接続頻度の高い基地局装置に対して適切な送信タイミングを使用することができる。 Further, the information notified from the base station device 101 to the terminal device 102 may include information regarding the adjustment amount of the transmission timing for at least the second part. The information regarding the adjustment amount of the transmission timing may be information relating the path loss and the magnitude of the adjustment amount of the transmission timing. That is, since it is expected that the terminal device 102 having a smaller path loss exists closer to the base station device 101, for example, the terminal device 102 having a larger path loss without adjusting the transmission timing is closer to the base station device 101. Is expected to be separated, so the transmission timing is advanced. As a result, the second part is transmitted at an early transmission timing from the terminal device at a position relatively far from the base station device, and the second part is relative as a result of the delay in the transmission line. It can be expected that the base station device will arrive at the same timing as the second part transmitted from the terminal device located at a position close to the base station device. The amount of this timing adjustment may be applied to the first portion. Further, in the information notified from the base station apparatus 101, the timing adjustment amount is a value expressed by an absolute value in units of microseconds or the like (for example, "1 microsecond") or cyclic. It can be expressed by a value expressed with reference to a predetermined length such as a prefix (CP) length, an OFDM symbol length, or a frame length (for example, "1/2 of CP length"). The relationship between the position and the timing adjustment amount may be used. That is, different timing adjustment amounts may be used depending on the position of the terminal device. In this case, the transmission timing is adjusted so that the terminal device farther from the base station device has a faster transmission timing. In addition, the relationship between the path loss / position and the timing adjustment amount can be updated so that it becomes an appropriate value by collecting the value of the timing advance used in the data communication after connection in the past communication. Good. Further, at this time, such an update may be performed for each base station apparatus 101. According to this, the relationship between the path loss / position and the timing adjustment amount can be appropriately determined according to the environment in which the base station apparatus 101 is arranged. Further, for example, the terminal device 102 collects the relationship between the path loss / position estimated in the own device and the timing advance value at the time of past communication, and based on the information, the adjustment amount of the path loss / position and the timing. You may build a database showing the relationship with. Further, the terminal device 102 may acquire information on the path loss and the adjustment amount of the timing from the base station device of the connection destination at the time of the previous communication. Further, the information indicating the relationship between the path loss and the timing adjustment amount may be notified to the terminal device 102 as information for each base station device. The terminal device 102 acquires information indicating the relationship between the path loss and the timing adjustment amount for the base station device in an area where the user stays and communicates frequently, such as home or work. Therefore, it is possible to use an appropriate transmission timing for a base station apparatus having a high connection frequency.
 なお、上述の情報は、基地局装置101が、例えばSIB(System Information Block)等によってブロードキャストされるが、例えば端末装置102が基地局装置101と前回接続して通信を行った際に個別に通知されてもよい。また、他の形式で情報通知が行われてもよい。 The above information is broadcast by the base station device 101, for example, by SIB (System Information Block) or the like, and is individually notified when, for example, the terminal device 102 connects to the base station device 101 last time and communicates. May be done. In addition, the information notification may be performed in another format.

The information notification unit 302 is information for setting the parameter of the message A in the two-step random access procedure, and is the first parameter for the first part corresponding to the message 1 of the four-step RACH and four. The terminal device is notified of the information used to set the second parameter for the second part corresponding to the message 3 of the step RACH separately. As described above, this information can be, for example, at least one of an increase in power at the time of retransmission, a target received power, and a transmission timing value corresponding to a path loss / position. The information notification unit 302 may notify the information by broadcasting, for example, or may individually notify the connected terminal device of the information. When the information is notified to the connected terminal device, the terminal device can use the notified information when executing the connection process again thereafter.
 図4は、端末装置の機能構成例を示す図である。端末装置は、一例において、通信制御部401、情報取得部402、パラメータ設定部403、及び、メッセージ生成部404を含んで構成される。通信制御部401は、例えば、基地局装置との間の無線通信を制御する。通信制御部401は、一例において、NR規格に従って動作し、また、上述のようなランダムアクセス手順を実行可能に構成される。情報取得部402は、基地局装置から通知された上述の情報を取得する。すなわち、情報取得部402は、4ステップRACHのメッセージ1に相当する第1の部分のための第1のパラメータと、4ステップRACHのメッセージ3に相当する第2の部分のための第2のパラメータとを設定するのに使用可能な情報を取得する。パラメータ設定部403は、情報取得部402が取得した情報に基づいて、メッセージAについてのパラメータ(第1のパラメータ及び第2のパラメータ)を設定する。例えば、パラメータ設定部403は、第1の部分に対応する第1のターゲット受信電力及び第2の部分に対応する第2のターゲット受信電力に基づいて、これらの部分に対応する初期送信電力を設定する。また、パラメータ設定部403は、メッセージAを再送する際に、第1の部分に関する第1の電力上昇量と第2の部分に関する第2の電力上昇量とに基づいて、第1の部分及び第2の部分についての再送時の送信電力を設定する。また、パラメータ設定部403は、パスロス/位置とタイミング調整量との関係を示す情報に基づいて、メッセージAの第2の部分の送信タイミングを設定する。また、パラメータ設定部403は、送信タイミングの調整を、第1の部分にも適用してもよい。ここで、図5に、パスロスと送信タイミングの調整量との関係の一例を示す。図5に示すように、パスロスが大きいほど、送信タイミングの調整量が大きく設定される。すなわち、パスロスが大きい端末装置は、相対的に早いタイミングでメッセージAの第2の部分を(場合によっては第1の部分も)送信するべきことが示されている。なお、これは一例であり、例えばCP長やOFDMシンボル長、フレーム長等を基準として、送信タイミングの調整量が定義されてもよい。メッセージ生成部404は、パラメータ設定部403が設定したパラメータに基づいて、第1の部分及び第2の部分を含んだメッセージAを生成する。そして、生成されたメッセージAは、通信制御部401を介して、パラメータ設定部403が設定したタイミング調整量に基づくタイミングで送信される。 FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a functional configuration example of the terminal device. In one example, the terminal device includes a communication control unit 401, an information acquisition unit 402, a parameter setting unit 403, and a message generation unit 404. The communication control unit 401 controls, for example, wireless communication with the base station apparatus. In one example, the communication control unit 401 operates according to the NR standard, and is configured to be able to execute the random access procedure as described above. The information acquisition unit 402 acquires the above-mentioned information notified from the base station apparatus. That is, the information acquisition unit 402 has a first parameter for the first part corresponding to the message 1 of the 4-step RACH and a second parameter for the second part corresponding to the message 3 of the 4-step RACH. Get the information that can be used to set and. The parameter setting unit 403 sets the parameters (first parameter and second parameter) for the message A based on the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 402. For example, the parameter setting unit 403 sets the initial transmission power corresponding to these parts based on the first target received power corresponding to the first part and the second target received power corresponding to the second part. To do. Further, when the parameter setting unit 403 retransmits the message A, the first portion and the first portion are based on the first power increase amount related to the first part and the second power increase amount related to the second part. Set the transmission power at the time of retransmission for the part 2. Further, the parameter setting unit 403 sets the transmission timing of the second part of the message A based on the information indicating the relationship between the path loss / position and the timing adjustment amount. Further, the parameter setting unit 403 may apply the adjustment of the transmission timing to the first part as well. Here, FIG. 5 shows an example of the relationship between the path loss and the adjustment amount of the transmission timing. As shown in FIG. 5, the larger the path loss, the larger the adjustment amount of the transmission timing is set. That is, it is shown that the terminal device having a large path loss should transmit the second part (and in some cases, the first part) of the message A at a relatively early timing. This is an example, and the adjustment amount of the transmission timing may be defined based on, for example, the CP length, the OFDM symbol length, the frame length, and the like. The message generation unit 404 generates a message A including the first portion and the second portion based on the parameters set by the parameter setting unit 403. Then, the generated message A is transmitted via the communication control unit 401 at a timing based on the timing adjustment amount set by the parameter setting unit 403.
 (処理の流れ)
 続いて、無線通信ネットワークにおいて実行される処理の流れの例について、図6を用いて概説する。なお、上述した詳細については、ここでは繰り返さず、処理の概要について説明する。なお、本実施形態では、基地局装置101が、上述の情報(「パラメータ設定用情報」と呼ぶ)をブロードキャストにより周期的に送信しているものとする(S601)。パラメータ設定用情報は、上述のように、メッセージAの第1の部分及び第2の部分のそれぞれについての送信電力を決定するためのターゲット受信電力や再送時の電力上昇量、パスロス/位置とタイミング調整量との関係の情報を含む。なお、これらの一部のみが通知されてもよい。例えば、非常に小さいセルにおいては、複数の端末装置が一斉に信号を送信する際に、タイミング調整を行わずとも直交性が崩れないことが想定されうる。このような場合には、タイミング調整量に関する情報は省略されうる。端末装置102は、このパラメータ設定用情報を取得して(S602)、その情報の内容を保持しておく。また、端末装置102は、基地局装置101から送信されるパラメータ設定用情報等の報知信号や同期信号を用いて、基地局装置101と端末装置102との間の伝送路におけるパスロスを推定する。その後、端末装置102は、例えば基地局装置101からのページングや、端末装置102内での送信対象データの発生などにより、基地局装置101と接続する必要が生じたとする。端末装置102は、接続を確立するために、ランダムアクセス手順を開始する。ここでは、端末装置102は、2ステップのランダムアクセス手順を用いるものとし、メッセージAを送信するためのパラメータを設定する(S603)。ここでは、タイミング調整量をΔTとし、第1の部分及び第2の部分に関する初期送信電力を、それぞれPA1及びPA2としたものとする。なお、PA1及びPA2は、共に、端末装置102の最大送信電力を超えていないものとする。端末装置102は、設定したパラメータに基づいて、メッセージAを生成する(S604)。例えば、第1の部分の電力をPA1に設定し、第2の部分の電力をPA2に設定し、さらに、第2の部分の送信タイミングをΔTだけ早くしたメッセージAが生成される。そして、端末装置102は、基地局装置101へ、このメッセージAを送信する(S605)。
(Processing flow)
Subsequently, an example of the processing flow executed in the wireless communication network will be outlined with reference to FIG. The details described above will not be repeated here, but an outline of the process will be described. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the base station apparatus 101 periodically transmits the above-mentioned information (referred to as “parameter setting information”) by broadcasting (S601). As described above, the parameter setting information includes the target received power for determining the transmission power for each of the first part and the second part of the message A, the amount of power increase at the time of retransmission, and the path loss / position and timing. Includes information on the relationship with the adjustment amount. In addition, only a part of these may be notified. For example, in a very small cell, when a plurality of terminal devices transmit signals at the same time, it can be assumed that the orthogonality is not broken even if the timing adjustment is not performed. In such a case, the information regarding the timing adjustment amount may be omitted. The terminal device 102 acquires this parameter setting information (S602) and retains the content of the information. Further, the terminal device 102 estimates the path loss in the transmission line between the base station device 101 and the terminal device 102 by using the notification signal such as the parameter setting information and the synchronization signal transmitted from the base station device 101. After that, it is assumed that the terminal device 102 needs to be connected to the base station device 101 due to, for example, paging from the base station device 101 or generation of data to be transmitted in the terminal device 102. Terminal device 102 initiates a random access procedure to establish a connection. Here, it is assumed that the terminal device 102 uses a two-step random access procedure, and a parameter for transmitting the message A is set (S603). Here, the timing adjustment amount as a [Delta] T, the initial transmission power for the first portion and a second portion, and that the P A1 and P A2, respectively. It is assumed that both PA1 and PA2 do not exceed the maximum transmission power of the terminal device 102. The terminal device 102 generates a message A based on the set parameters (S604). For example, a message A is generated in which the power of the first part is set to PA1 , the power of the second part is set to PA2, and the transmission timing of the second part is advanced by ΔT. Then, the terminal device 102 transmits this message A to the base station device 101 (S605).
 端末装置102は、メッセージAの送信後、所定期間の間、基地局装置101からの応答メッセージであるメッセージBが到来するのを待ち受ける。そして、端末装置102は、メッセージAの送信後の所定期間の間にメッセージBが受信されなかった場合、メッセージAを再送することを決定する。このとき、端末装置102は、送信電力を上げるように、パラメータを再設定する(S606)。送信電力の上昇量は、パラメータ設定用情報によって特定される。ここでは、第1の部分についての送信電力上昇量がΔA1であり、第2の部分についての送信電力上昇量がΔA2であったものとする。このため、再送時の第1の部分の送信電力はPA1+ΔA1に設定され、第2の部分の送信電力はPA2+ΔA2に設定される。端末装置102は、これ以降に再送が発生した場合にも、第1の部分についてΔA1だけ、そして、第2の部分についてΔA2だけ、送信電力を上昇させる。なお、端末装置102は、送信電力を上昇させると最大送信電力を超える値となる場合には、第1の部分又は第2の部分の送信電力を最大送信電力に設定する。なお、この時点で、パスロスを推定しなおすことによって、タイミング調整量も変更してもよい。その後、変更されたパラメータを用いてメッセージAが再度生成され(S607)、基地局装置101へ向けて送信される(S608)。S606~S608の処理が、基地局装置101と端末装置102との間の接続が確立されるまで繰り返される。なお、基地局装置101と端末装置102との間の接続が確立しないまま、メッセージAの再送回数が所定回数に達した場合には、端末装置102は、接続に失敗したと判定し、それ以上の再送を行わないようにする。このような繰り返し処理等によって送信されたメッセージAに対して、基地局装置101からメッセージBが送信されると(S609)、基地局装置101と端末装置102との接続が確立される。 After transmitting the message A, the terminal device 102 waits for the arrival of the message B, which is a response message from the base station device 101, for a predetermined period of time. Then, the terminal device 102 determines to retransmit the message A if the message B is not received within a predetermined period after the transmission of the message A. At this time, the terminal device 102 resets the parameters so as to increase the transmission power (S606). The amount of increase in transmission power is specified by the parameter setting information. Here, it is assumed that the amount of increase in transmission power for the first part is Δ A1 and the amount of increase in transmission power for the second part is Δ A2 . Therefore, the transmission power of the first portion at the time of retransmission is set to PA1 + Δ A1, and the transmission power of the second portion is set to PA2 + Δ A2 . The terminal device 102 also increases the transmission power by Δ A1 for the first portion and by Δ A 2 for the second portion even when retransmission occurs thereafter. The terminal device 102 sets the transmission power of the first portion or the second portion to the maximum transmission power when the value exceeds the maximum transmission power when the transmission power is increased. At this point, the timing adjustment amount may be changed by re-estimating the path loss. After that, the message A is generated again using the changed parameters (S607) and transmitted to the base station apparatus 101 (S608). The processes of S606 to S608 are repeated until the connection between the base station device 101 and the terminal device 102 is established. If the number of times the message A is retransmitted reaches a predetermined number without establishing the connection between the base station device 101 and the terminal device 102, the terminal device 102 determines that the connection has failed, and more than that. Do not retransmit. When the message B is transmitted from the base station device 101 to the message A transmitted by such repetitive processing or the like (S609), the connection between the base station device 101 and the terminal device 102 is established.
 以上のように、本実施形態によれば、2ステップのランダムアクセス手順における1つのメッセージ(メッセージA)に含まれる2つの部分のパラメータをそれぞれ別個に取り扱うことが可能となる。これにより、メッセージ内のそれぞれの部分の特性に合わせて適切なパラメータ設定を行うことが可能となる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to handle the parameters of the two parts included in one message (message A) in the two-step random access procedure separately. This makes it possible to set appropriate parameters according to the characteristics of each part in the message.
