实施方式
在为使本申请的目的、技术方案、及优点更加清楚明白,以下参照附图并举实施例,对本申请进一步详细说明。
在一些实施例中,随着在现有4G和5G定义的基于竞争方式的四步随机接入信道(4-step Random Access Channel,4-step RACH)的随机接入过程,用户设备(UE)和基站(BS)之间至少需要进行四次信令的交互,如图1所示,示例如下:
第一次:用户设备向基站发送Msg1,Msg1为用户设备选择前导序列,用于基站进行定时提前量(Time Advance,TA)估计等;
第二次:基站向用户设备发送Msg2,Msg2为Msg1的随机接入 响应,其中包含了前导序列标识(RadomAccess Preamble Index,RAPID)、TA、用户设备向基站发送Msg3的上行授权(Uplink Grant,UL Grant)、临时小区无线网络临时标识(Temporary Cell-RadioNetworkTemporaryIdentifier,TC-RNTI)等;
第三次:用户设备向基站发送Msg3,当用户设备在Msg2中读取到Msg1对应的前导序列标识时,再发送Msg3,Msg3的内容与触发随机接入过程的事件相关;
第四次:基站向用户设备发送Msg4,Msg4为解决竞争冲突的响应,当用户设备检测到的Msg4中包含对应Msg3中相关的标识信息时,则视为随机接入成功。
目前随机接入响应信息包含Msg2和Msg4两种,其中Msg2为一个公用信息,即基站将针对多个UE发送的Msg1响应的信息包含在一个媒体接入控制协议数据单元(Medium Access Control Protocol Data Unit,MAC PDU)中发生,如图2所示:
MAC PDU包含多个MAC PDU子单元(MAC sub PDU)。其中MAC PDU子单元可以为MAC sub PDU 1、MAC sub PDU 2、MAC sub PDU 3三种类型中的一种。MAC sub PDU 1(仅BI,BI only),由五个字段组成(E/T/R/R/BI)。MAC sub PDU 2(仅RAPID,RAPID only),由三个字段组成(E/T/RAPID)。MAC sub PDU 3,每个MAC sub PDU包括由三个字段(E/T/RAPID)组成的子头和负载(MAC RAR)。每个MAC RAR由四个字段组成(R/Timing Advance Command/UL Grant/TC-RNTI)。
UE通过识别Msg2中的RAPID信息对应为发送Msg1中的前导序列的MACsubPDU为自己的响应信息。而对于Msg4为随机接入竞争冲突响应信息,其中包含了竞争冲突解决标识,Msg4的生成与 TC-RNTI或者小区无线网络临时标(Cell-RadioNetworkTemporaryIdentifier,C-RNTI)相关,UE通过TC-RNTI或者C-RNTI进行Msg4检测,并进一步判断Msg4中是否包含Msg3中发送的公共控制信道业务数据单元CCCH SDU(Common Control Channel Service Data Unit)(前48bit)是否匹配,即竞争解决冲突标识以判断是否是其对应的响应信息。
根据上述描述可以看出,基于竞争方式的四步随机接入信道的随机接入过程,用户设备(UE)和基站(BS)之间至少需要进行四次信令的交互。
为了降低信令开销和随机接入时延,随机接入过程通过UE和基站之间至少两次信令的交互即可实现,可以称之为两步随机接入信道2-step RACH,其随机接入过程示例如下:
第一次:UE向基站发送MsgA,承担4-step RACH中Msg1和Msg3的功能;
第二次:基站向UE发送MsgB,承担4-step RACH中Msg2和Msg4的功能,主要用于指示随机接入的TA、C-RNTI分配、上行数据传输的授权以及竞争冲突解决等。
本申请提出一种随机接入方法,能够通过2-step RACH生成MsgB,降低信令开销,快速对采用不同随机接入方法的UE响应随机接入信息,降低随机接入时延。
图3A显示了本申请一些实施例所述的一种随机接入方法所适用的系统结构示意图。如图3A所示,本申请的随机接入方法所适用的系统至少包括:用户设备301以及基站302。
在本申请的一些实例中,上述用户设备301可以是指具有数据计算处理功能的智能设备,包括但不限于(安装有通信模块的)智能手 机、掌上电脑、平板电脑等。用户设备301上安装有操作系统,包括但不限于:Android操作系统、Symbian操作系统、Windows mobile操作系统、以及苹果iPhone OS操作系统等等。
基站302,又可以称为“无线基站”,还可以与“evolvedNode Base station,eNB”、“小区”、“扇区”、“小区组”、“载波”以及“分量载波”这样的用语可以互换使用。基站有时也以固定台(fixedstation)、NodeB、eNodeB(eNB)、接入点(accesspoint)、发送点、接收点、毫微微小区、小小区等用语来称呼。
基站302可以容纳一个或多个(例如三个)小区(也称为扇区)。当基站容纳多个小区时,基站的整个覆盖区域可以划分为多个更小的区域,每个更小的区域也可以通过基站子系统(例如,室内用小型基站(射频拉远头(RRH,RemoteRadioHead)))来提供通信服务。“小区”或“扇区”这样的用语是指在该覆盖中进行通信服务的基站和/或基站子系统的覆盖区域的一部分或整体。
基于上述图3A所示的系统结构,本申请的一个实施例提供了一种随机接入方法,由基站302执行。图3B为本申请提出的随机接入的方法的流程示意图,如图3所示,该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤S31、用户设备(UE)向基站发送第一随机接入消息,所述第一随机接入消息包含前导序列(Preamble)和上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared CHannel,PUSCH)承载的负载中至少一种信息;
随机接入技术是通信系统中媒体接入控制的一项重要技术。随机接入由随机接入事件触发发起,即当UE满足随机接入事件触发条件时,则发起随机接入过程。主要随机接入触发事件包括UE的初始接入、无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)连接重建和切换、 非同步状态下上下行数据达到等目的。因此,UE向基站发送的所述随机接入消息中包含的所述与触发随机接入过程的事件相关的消息就是与UE的初始接入,或者RRC连接重建,或者切换等相关的消息,由上行共享信道PUSCH承载。在2-step RACH中所述第一随机接入消息也称作MsgA,包括前导序列和PUSCH承载的负载(payload),其中PUSCH承载的负载(payload)对应为所述与触发随机接入过程的事件相关的消息。
进一步地,当满足随机接入事件触发条件时,UE根据随机接入配置和测量结果,选择2-stepRACH和4-stepRACH中至少一种方式发起随机接入。当UE采用4-step RACH发起随机接入时,所述第一随机接入消息包括前导序列(Preamble)。当UE采用2-step RACH发起随机接入时,所述第一随机接入消息包括前导序列(Preamble)和PUSCH承载的负载。
步骤S32、基站接收到用户设备发送的第一随机接入消息后,向所述UE发送随机接入响应消息,指示所述UE进行随机接入;

为清楚说明本申请实施例提供的随机接入的方法,下面结合附图,列举具体实例对本申请实施例提供的随机接入方法进行说明。
通过以下三个特征来描述本申请实施例提供的随机接入的方法:系统配置随机接入响应消息格式及参数、随机接入重传机制、以及随机接入响应消息MAC PDU生成方式。
特征1:系统配置2-step RACH和4-step RACH响应消息格式 及参数
在基站侧,需要检测RACH中的以下几种信息,并根据检测结果进行响应
1)4-stepRACH中的Msg1,对其响应4-stepRACH中的Msg2
2)4-stepRACH中的Msg3,对其响应4-stepRACH中的Msg4
3)2-stepRACH中的MsgA,对其响应2-step RACH中的MsgB
其中上述3)可进一步包含对MsgA的前导序列正确检测、PUSCH承载的负载未正确检测的UE反馈响应消息,对MsgA的前导序列和PUSCH承载的负载正确检测的UE反馈响应消息。其中MsgA和Msg1对应为所述第一随机接入消息中应用不同随机接入方式下的应用举例。当采用2-stepRACH发起随机接入时,所述第一随机接入消息对应为MsgA,当采用4-stepRACH发起随机接入时,所述第一随机接入消息对应为Msg1。MsgA包含了前导序列和PUSCH承载的负载,Msg1包含前导序列。
本申请将所述针对2-step RACH发送MsgA的前导序列正确检测、 PUSCH承载的负载未正确检测的响应消息对应为第一响应消息;所述针对2-step RACH发送MsgA的前导序列和PUSCH承载的负载正确检测的响应消息对应为第二响应消息;所述针对4-stepRACH Msg1的响应消息Msg2对应为第三响应消息。基站端将多个UE的响应消息组装成一个MAC PDU发送给UE时,该UE对应的响应消息为MAC PDU的某一个子单元(subPDU)。
针对第一响应消息:响应消息格式包含前导序列ID(RAPID)、TA指示、TC-RNTI指示、上行授权等指示。其中部分信息可作为可选项,具体根据系统配置确定包含的信息内容。所述响应消息格式与该响应消息对应的MAC subPDU的格式表示相同概念(下文同)。举例响应消息格式,例如下面三种:
第一种:第一响应消息格式包含前导序列ID(RAPID)和TA指示。响应消息格式示意图如图5所示,图5为本申请实施例第一种第一响应消息MAC subPDU格式的示意图。表示为:subheader(E+T+RAPID)+Payload(TA)。该MAC subPDU包括子头(subheader)和负载(Payload),负载即MAC RAR。
其中在subheader中包含“E”域用以指示该subPDU是否为最后一个,“T”域用以指示是否包含RAPID信息,“RAPID”指示前导序列ID,在payload域中的“R”域为保留比特,“TA”指示定时提前信息。
第二种:第一响应消息格式包含前导序列ID、TA和TC-RNTI指示。响应消息格式示意图如图6所示,图6为本申请实施例第二种第一响应消息MAC subPDU格式的示意图。
表示为: subheader(E+T+RAPID)+Payload(TA+TC-RNTI)。
相比第一种格式增加“TC-RNTI”信息,用以MsgA重传时PUSCH的生成。
第三种:第一响应消息格式复用现有RACH的响应消息格式,其中格式的MACsubPDU的负载部分如图7所示,将响应消息中不包含的内容置零。例如不反馈上行授权时,则将消息格式中上行授权部分内容设置为零。此时该响应消息格式的长度与现有RACH的响应消息格式长度相同。
图7为本申请实施例第三种第一响应消息MAC subPDU中的MAC RAR示意图。表示为: Payload(TA+UL GRANT+TC-RNTI)。
进一步地,当配置除仅包含前导序列ID,或回退指示的MACsubPDU之外,不同长度的随机接入响应消息组装成一个MAC PDU时,系统进一步配置响应消息MAC subPDU中的比特域以指示该MAC subPDU所属的响应消息格式。例如在图5、图6或图7中的进一步利用保留比特指示该MAC subPDU所属的响应消息格式对应为2-step RACH中MsgA前导序列正确检测、PUSCH承载的负载未正确检测的响应消息。又例如重新设计MAC subPDU中的subheader中的T域,指示该MAC subPDU所属的响应消息格式。
针对第二响应消息:当UE利用2-step RACH发送MsgA时,其前导序列和PUSCH承载的负载正确检测时,根据不同RACH触发事件需求,设计的随机接入响应消息内容与触发事件相对应,以及可以包含前导序列ID、TA、竞争冲突解决标识、TC-RNTI等信息。其中部分信息作为可选项,依据系统配置以及触发事件确定具体包含信息内容。例如如果UE在MsgA中包含了C-RNTI信息,则在响应消息中可不包含TC-RNTI信息。
特征2:系统配置2-step RACH重传机制,配置包括:
1)配置MsgA最大传输次数,当MsgA传输次数超过配置最大传输次数时仍未随机接入成功时,回退到4-step RACH发起Msg1传 输或者基于调度(基站分配Msg3传输的上行授权)发起Msg3传输;例如当MsgA最大传输次数配置为1时,基站检测MsgA前导序列正确检测、PUSCH承载的负载未正确检测时,可在响应消息中反馈2-step RACH回退到4-step RACH发送Msg3传输的上行授权。
2)配置MsgA自适应重传或非自适应重传,对于自适应重传在重传时重新选择前导序列以及对应的PUSCH资源;对于非自适应重传在重传时选择相同的前导序列以及PUSCH资源位置,以支持基站端对MsgA PUSCH的传输进行HARQ合并检测。
进一步地,非自适应重传中针对MsgA的前导序列正确检测、PUSCH承载的负载未正确检测的场景,下一次重传可配置为仅重传PUSCH承载的负载。在该配置下,当UE检测到与MsgA对应的第一响应消息,则在MsgA未超过最大重传次数时下一次MsgA重传仅重传PUSCH承载的负载。
进一步地,对于非自适应重传仅重传PUSCH承载的负载场景,可配置在响应消息中包含TC-RNTI信息,重传PUSCH承载的负载基于响应消息中的TC-RNTI生成。
进一步地,基站可配置重传定时信息,以指示UE下一次重传PUSCH承载的负载的时间,其中重传定时信息可包含在响应消息中指示,或者通过RRC配置的方式由基站将配置信息通知UE。
3)配置MsgA的重传回退指示BI取值列表,可以规定2-step RACH中BI与4-step RACH的BI共用相同列表,或者为2-step RACH的重传独立设计一个新的重传回退指示列表。
进一步地,上述配置信息1)、2)和3)可以包含在RRC信令中关于2-step RACH的配置信息中,并由基站通知给UE;或者包含在物理下行控制信道(PDCCH)中由基站通知给UE;或者通过设备配 置写入基站和UE中。
上述2-step RACH的重传为随机接入的重新发起,根据系统配置,正在利用2-step RACH发起随机接入的UE可包含以下4种随机接入的重新发起:第一种是利用2-step RACH发起MsgA的前导序列和PUSCH承载的负载重传,第二种是利用2-step RACH仅发起PUSCH承载的负载的重传,第三种是回退到4-step RACH发起Msg1的传输,第四种是回退到4-step RACH发起Msg3的传输。
特征3:系统配置随机接入响应消息MAC PDU生成方式。该方式中体现了2-step RACH和4-step RACH响应消息之间的复用关系。根据随机接入响应消息MAC PDU的生成方式确定针对2-step RACH MsgA的随机接入响应消息是否和4-step RACH响应消息Msg2组装成一个MAC PDU。包括第一响应消息、第二响应消息和第三响应消息中的一个或多个组装成一个MAC PDU的格式。举例如下:
1.第一响应消息和第三响应消息组装成一个MAC PDU
进一步地,当4-step RACH和2-step RACH共用相同的重传回退计时机制时,基站反馈的RACH响应消息MAC PDU中的MAC subPDU包含以下几种类型:

2)MAC subPDU2仅指示前导序列ID
3)MAC subPDU3表示第三响应消息,子头指示前导序列ID,负载指示TA、TC-RNTI、上行授权。其中负载示意图如图7所示。
4)MAC subPDU4表示第一响应消息
其中上述4)MAC subPDU4可能进一步包含多种响应消息格式以支持包含不同响应消息内容,例如包含上述图5、图6、图7的一种格式或多种格式。当4)包含一种格式,且与3)使用相同的响应 消息格式的情况,此时格式类型变为前三种。MAC PDU根据传输包大小可能包含一定的补零比特,即图8所示padding。图8为本申请实施例随机接入响应消息中包括第一响应消息和第三响应消息的MAC PDU的示意图。其中“MAC subPDU1”为仅指示BI的示意。“MAC subPDU2”为仅指示前导序列ID的示意。“MAC subPDU3”的“RAPID+RAR”为子头指示前导序列ID,负载指示TA、TC-RNTI、上行授权的示意。“2-step RACH MAC RAR type1”为所述第一响应消息MAC subPDU的payload部分示意。
进一步地,当4-step RACH和2-step RACH配置相互独立的重传回退计时机制时,基站反馈的RACH响应消息MAC PDU中的MAC subPDU包含以下几种类型:

进一步地,为区分一个指示“BI”的subPDU属于4-step RACH和2-step RACH中的哪一个,需利用包头“BI”占据的比特之外的比特进行指示该BI信息属于4-step RACH UE的回退指示或者2-step RACH UE的回退指示,例如将其中一个保留比特“R”设计为一个新的指示域,值为1标识该“BI”属于2-step RACH的UE响应,值为“0”标识该“BI”属于4-step RACH的UE响应;或者是值为0标识该“BI”属于2-step RACH的UE响应,值为“1”标识该“BI”属于4-step RACH的UE响应。
(2)第一响应消息、第二响应消息和第三响应消息组装成一个MAC PDU。
进一步地,当4-step RACH和2-step RACH共用相同的重传回退计时机制时,基站反馈的RACH响应消息MAC PDU中的MAC subPDU格式包含以下几种类型:

进一步地,当4-step RACH和2-step RACH配置相互独立的重传回退计时机制时,基站反馈的RACH响应消息MAC PDU中的MAC subPDU格式包含以下几种类型:
1)MAC subPDU1仅指示针对4-step RACH的BI
2)MAC subPDU2仅指示针对2-step RACH的BI
3)MAC subPDU3仅指示前导序列ID
4)MAC subPDU4表示第三响应消息,子头指示前导序列ID,负载指示TA、TC-RNTI、上行授权。其中负载示意图如图7所示。
5)MAC subPDU5表示第一响应消息
1.MAC subPDU6表示第二响应消息
其中上述5)可能进一步包含多种响应消息格式以支持包含不同响应消息内容,例如包含上述图5、图6、图7的一种格式或多种格式。当5)包含一种格式,且与4)使用相同的subPDU格式的情况,此时格式类型5)和4)可以合并为一种。上述6)可能根据系统配置进一步包含多种响应消息格式,以对应满足不同的触发事件响应消息内容的需求。MAC PDU根据传输包大小可能包含一定的补零比特,即图11所示padding。图11为本申请另一实施例随机接入响应消息中包括第一响应消息、第二响应消息和第三响应消息的MAC PDU的示意图。其中为区分一个指示“BI”的subPDU属于4-step RACH和2-step RACH中的哪一个,需利用包头“BI”占据的字节之外的比特 进行指示该BI信息属于4-step RACHUE的回退指示或者2-step RACHUE的回退指示,例如将其中一个保留比特“R”设计为一个新的指示域,值为1标识该“BI”属于2-step RACH的UE响应,值为“0”标识该“BI”属于4-step RACH的UE响应;或者是值为0标识该“BI”属于2-step RACH的UE响应,值为“1”标识该“BI”属于4-step RACH的UE响应。
(3)第一响应消息和第二响应消息组装成一个MAC PDU。该MAC PDU与4-step RACH响应消息相互独立。
基站反馈的2-step RACH响应消息MAC PDU中的MAC subPDU包含以下几种类型:
1)MAC subPDU1仅指示BI

进一步地,系统配置2-step RACH和4-step RACH响应消息之间的复用关系以及2-stepRACH响应消息设计可通过RACH响应消息的MAC PDU设计中体现,或者通过高层信令配置。系统通过MAC PDU的格式设计体现或者高层配置确定2-step RACH响应消息的MAC PDU的格式及参数。
进一步地,如上述所述当不同类型响应消息需组装成一个MAC PDU时,在响应消息对应的子单元(subPDU)格式中配置一个或多个比特指示该消息类型。例如当第一响应消息与第三响应消息组装成一个MAC PDU时,当第一响应消息和第三响应消息对应的MAC subPDU格式不同时,系统可配置第一响应消息中的一个或多个比特域指示该subPDU对应的响应消息属于2-step RACH的第一响应消息。相应地,系统可配置第三响应消息中的一个或多个比特域指示该subPDU对应的响应消息属于第三响应消息。
进一步地,系统配置通过随机接入相关标识区分该单元格式类型。当终端可根据随机接入相关标识识别当前检测的MAC subPDU所属的信息格式,则可无需在响应消息格式中配置响应消息中的一个或多 个比特域以指示该MAC subPDU所属的响应消息格式。例如系统配置2-step RACH和4-stepRACH采用不同的前导序列ID时,当配置第一响应消息和第三响应消息组装成一个MAC PDU时,终端可通过识别前导序列ID判断当前检测的MAC subPDU所属的信息格式是否是4-stepRACH响应消息格式。
进一步地,所述关于响应消息MAC PDU的生成方式可以包含在RRC信令中关于随机接入的配置信息中,并由基站通知给UE;或者包含在PDCCH中由基站通知给UE;或者通过设备配置写入基站和UE中。
二、基站向UE反馈RACH响应消息
在基站侧,需要检测RACH中的以下几种信息,并根据检测结果进行响应消息

其中上述3)可进一步包含对MsgA的前导序列正确检测、PUSCH承载的负载未正确检测的UE反馈响应消息,对MsgA的前导序列和PUSCH承载的负载正确检测的UE反馈响应消息。
基站根据系统配置生成响应消息,并将响应消息发送给UE。
在一些实施例中,通过本申请的随机接入响应消息,能够支持2-step RACH的多次重传。具体地,
所述UE接收到所述随机接入响应消息后,检测是否为自身发送第一随机接入消息对应的响应消息内容;所述对应的响应消息内容包括:与已发送的前导序列对应的RAPID,和/或,与已发送的PUSCH 承载的负载对应的响应消息;
情况一:如果是自身发送第一随机接入消息对应的响应消息内容,其中包括与已发送的前导序列对应的RAPID,但对应无与已发送的PUSCH承载的负载对应的响应消息,则对应为UE采用2-stepRACH发起随机接入时基站对前导序列正确检测,但对PUSCH承载的负载未正确检测的情况,或者是UE采用4-step RACH或2-step RACH发起随机接入时基站仅对前导序列正确检测的情况;
情况二:如果是自身发送第一随机接入消息对应的响应消息内容,其中包括与已发送的前导序列对应的RAPID和或与已发送的PUSCH承载的负载对应的响应消息,则对应为UE采用2-stepRACH发起随机接入时基站对前导序列和PUSCH承载的负载都正确检测的情况;
情况三:如果不是自身发送第一随机接入消息对应的响应消息内容,例如,UE在发送MsgA之后,在系统配置的响应定时时间窗中等待接收响应,当响应定时超时时,UE未接收到任何与自己发送MsgA对应的响应信息内容,则对应为UE采用2-stepRACH发起随机接入时基站对前导序列和PUSCH承载的负载都未正确检测的情况,或是UE采用4-stepRACH发起随机接入时基站对前导序列未正确检测的情况,或是UE对基站发送的包含与自身发送第一随机接入消息对应的响应消息未正确检测的情况。
从而,所述UE根据系统随机接入配置和响应信息检测结果,判断是否重新发起随机接入或是第二随机接入消息的发送;
对应上述情况一:UE根据系统配置随机接入重传机制重新发起随机接入;
其中正在利用2-step RACH发起随机接入的UE包括了四种随机接入的重新发起:第一种是利用2-step RACH发起MsgA的前导序列 和PUSCH承载的负载重传,第二种是利用2-step RACH仅发起PUSCH承载的负载的重传,第三种是回退到4-step RACH发起Msg1的传输,第四种是回退到4-step RACH发起Msg3的传输。UE根据系统配置和检测结果选择上述一种方式发起MsgA重传。例如UE根据系统配置判定接到的响应信息内容是为自己发送MsgA对应的响应信息内容。如果对应的响应信息内容中包含上行授权,则利用上行授权回退到4-step RACH发送msg3(选择上述第四种)。如果未包含上行授权根据系统配置选择上述第一种、第二种或第三种中一种方式发起MsgA重传。如果对应的响应信息内容中包含TA信息,在下一信息发送根据TA进行发送定时调整。
正在利用4-step RACH发起随机接入的UE包括了两种随机接入的重新发起和一种第二随机接入消息的发送:第一种是是利用2-step RACH发起MsgA的前导序列和PUSCH承载的负载重传;第二种是利用4-step RACH发起Msg1的传输。所述一种第二随机接入消息的发送表示利用4-step RACH发起Msg3的传输。其中第二随机接入消息则为Msg3。
进一步地当UE利用2-step RACH发起随机接入时根据2-stepRACH的相关配置选择前导序列以及相关传输资源,生成相应的随机接入消息等。当UE利用4-step RACH发起随机接入时根据4-stepRACH的相关配置选择前导序列以及相关传输资源,生成相应的随机接入消息等。
对应上述情况二:UE进一步判断是否反馈正确接收响应消息的确认信息;例如反馈ACK或者NACK信息。如果对应的响应信息内容中包含TA信息,在下一信息发送根据TA进行发送定时调整。
对应上述情况三:当UE接收响应消息的时间窗内未接收到与自 身发送第一随机接入消息对应的响应消息内容,UE根据系统配置随机接入重传机制重新发起随机接入。
其中正在利用2-step RACH发起随机接入的UE包括了四种随机接入:第一种是利用2-step RACH发起MsgA的前导序列和PUSCH承载的负载重传,第二种是利用2-step RACH仅发起PUSCH承载的负载的重传,第三种是回退到4-step RACH发起Msg1的传输,第四种是回退到4-step RACH发起Msg3的传输。在MsgA前导序列和PUSCH承载的负载均未正确检测场景下,MsgA的重传在所述第一种和第三种选择。
基于相同的发明构思,本申请还提供了一种用户设备UE,结构示意图如图12所示,所述UE包括第二接收模块1201和第二处理模块1202;
所述第二接收模块1201,用于接收到随机接入响应消息后,检测是否为自身发送第一随机接入消息对应的响应消息内容;所述对应的响应消息内容包括:与已发送的前导序列对应的RAPID,和/或,与已发送的PUSCH承载的负载对应的响应消息;
所述第二处理模块1202,
用于在第二接收模块1201检测出是自身发送第一随机接入消息对应的响应消息内容,其中包括与已发送的前导序列对应的RAPID,但对应无PUSCH承载的负载对应的响应消息时,并根据系统配置随机接入重传机制重新发起随机接入或发送第二随机接入消息;
用于在第二接收模块1201检测出是自身发送第一随机接入消息对应的响应消息内容,其中包括与已发送的前导序列对应的RAPID以及与已发送的PUSCH承载的负载对应的响应消息时,根据系统配置进一步判断是否反馈正确接收响应消息的确认信息;
用于在第二接收模块1201在系统配置的接收响应消息的时间窗内未接收到与自身发送第一随机接入消息对应的响应消息内容,UE根据系统配置随机接入重传机制重新发起随机接入。
由以上描述可以看出,本申请提供的随机接入的方法、基站及用户设备可以具备以下优点:
1)本申请的随机接入响应消息将2-step RACH的响应信息和4-step RACH的响应信息组装为一个MAC PDU。
