Description

一种随机接入方法及装置 技术领域
本申请涉及无线通信技术领域,特别涉及一种随机接入方法及装置。
背景技术
在无线通信系统中,终端设备需要和网络设备通过随机接入过程取得上行同步,以便后续进行通信。由于第五代(the fifth generation,5G)通信系统的应用场景呈现多样化,不同应用场景对随机接入的需求不同,因此,5G通信系统中将区分随机接入的优先级,并为不同优先级提供不同的随机接入服务。
具体来说,5G通信系统中通过触发随机接入过程的事件将随机接入过程划分高、低两类优先级,其中,将切换事件或者波束失败恢复事件而触发的随机接入过程规定为高优先级随机接入过程,将其它事件触发的随机接入过程规定为低优先级随机接入过程。以切换事件为例,网络设备可以为终端设备配置发起切换事件触发的随机接入过程所使用的随机接入参数。
5G通信系统中还引入了多媒体优先级业务(multimedia priority services,MPS)终端设备、关键任务业务(mission critical services,MCS)终端设备,由于MPS、MCS均为比较紧急的业务,为保证该类业务的时延等要求,网络设备可以为MPS终端设备和MCS终端设备配置其发起随机接入过程所使用的随机接入参数。
然而,当MPS终端设备或MCS终端设备发起切换事件或波束失败恢复触发的随机接入过程时,使用何种随机接入参数,仍需进一步的研究。
发明内容
本申请实施方式的目的在于提供一种随机接入方法及装置,用于解决终端设备不清楚发起随机接入过程所使用的随机接入参数的问题。

采用上述方法,由终端设备来确定目标随机接入参数,从而通过对终端设备的行为进行规范,明确了终端设备发起随机接入过程所使用的随机接入参数,避免终端设备选择随机接入参数的行为不清楚的问题。
在一种可能的设计中,该方法还包括:终端设备接收指示信息,指示信息用于指示目标随机接入参数,进而终端设备可以根据指示信息确定目标随机接入参数。
如此,一方面,由网络侧来指示目标随机接入参数,明确了终端设备发起随机接入过程所使用的随机接入参数,另一方面,采用网络侧指示的方式,可以使得目标随机接入参数的选择更加灵活。
在一种可能的设计中,第二随机接入参数和第一随机接入参数相同。
如此,由于第一随机接入参数和第二随机接入参数相同,从而避免了终端设备不清楚发起随机接入过程所使用的随机接入参数的问题。
在一种可能的设计中,目标随机接入参数为第一随机接入参数,第一随机接入参数对应的随机接入成功率大于第二随机接入参数对应的随机接入成功率;或者,目标随机接入参数为第二随机接入参数,第一随机接入参数对应的随机接入成功率小于第二随机接入参数对应的随机接入成功率;或者,目标随机接入参数为第一随机接入参数或第二随机接入参数,第一随机接入参数对应的随机接入成功率等于第二随机接入参数对应的随机接入成功率。

采用上述方法,网络设备可以获取终端设备的类型,并在终端设备为第一类型终端设备时,向终端设备发送指示信息,指示终端设备发起由第一事件触发的随机接入过程所使用的目标随机接入参数,从而解决了终端设备不知采用哪种随机接入参数发起随机接入过程的问题。在该方案中,由网络设备向终端设备指示目标随机接入参数,从而使得目标随机接入参数可以由网络设备灵活选择,且实现较为方便。

在一种可能的设计中,第二网络设备根据终端设备的类型,为终端设备配置随机接入参数,包括:当终端设备的类型为第一类型时,第二网络设备向终端设备发送第三信息,第三信息用于指示为第一类型终端设备配置的随机接入参数。
如此,当终端设备的类型为第一类型时,网络设备可以为第一类型终端设备配置随机接入参数,而不再为第一事件额外配置随机接入参数,从而避免了终端设备不清楚采用哪一种随机接入参数来发起随机接入过程的问题。
在一种可能的设计中,第三信息包括随机接入参数,或者,第三信息包括随机接入参数的索引。如此,当第三信息包括随机接入参数的索引时,能够有效节省资源开销。

以及,除非有特别说明,本申请实施例提及“第一”、“第二”等序数词是用于对多个对象进行区分,不用于限定多个对象的顺序、时序、优先级或者重要程度。例如,第一信息和第二信息,只是为了区分不同的信息,而并不是表示这两种信息的优先级或者重要程度等的不同。
下面结合说明书附图对本申请的技术方案作进一步地详细描述。
图1为本申请实施例适用的一种网络架构示意图。如图1所示,终端设备130可接入到无线网络,以通过无线网络获取外网(例如因特网)的服务,或者通过无线网络与其它设备通信,如可以与其它终端设备通信。该无线网络包括无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)设备110和核心网(core network,CN)设备120,其中RAN设备110用于将终端设备130接入到无线网络,CN设备120用于对终端设备进行管理并提供与外网通信的网关。应理解,图1所示的通信系统中各个设备的数量仅作为示意,本申请实施例并不限于此,实际应用中在通信系统中还可以包括更多的终端设备130、更多的RAN设备110,还可以包括其它设备。
CN中可以包括多个CN设备120,当图1所示的网络架构适用于5G通信系统时,CN设备120可以为接入和移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF)实体、会话管理功能(session management function,SMF)实体或用户面功能(user plane function,UPF)实体等,当图1所示的网络架构适用于LTE通信系统时,CN设备120可以为移动性管理实体(mobility management entity,MME)和服务网关(serving gateway,S-GW)等。
图2为本申请实施例适用的又一种网络架构示意图。如图2所示,该网络架构包括CN设备、RAN设备和终端设备。其中,RAN设备包括基带装置和射频装置,其中基带装置可以由一个节点实现,也可以由多个节点实现,射频装置可以从基带装置拉远独立实现,也可以集成在基带装置中,或者部分拉远部分集成在基带装置中。例如,在LTE通信系统中,RAN设备(eNB)包括基带装置和射频装置,其中射频装置可以相对于基带装置拉远布置,例如射频拉远单元(remote radio unit,RRU)相对于BBU拉远布置。
RAN设备和终端设备之间的通信遵循一定的协议层结构,例如控制面协议层结构可以包括无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)层、分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层、无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层和物理层等协议层的功能;用户面协议层结构可以包括PDCP层、RLC层、MAC层和物理层等协议层的功能;在一种可能的实现中,PDCP层之上还可以包括业务数据适配(service data adaptation protocol,SDAP)层。
RAN设备可以由一个节点实现RRC、PDCP、RLC和MAC等协议层的功能,或者可以由多个节点实现这些协议层的功能。例如,在一种演进结构中,RAN设备可以包括CU)和DU,多个DU可以由一个CU集中控制。如图2所示,CU和DU可以根据无线网络的 协议层划分,例如PDCP层及以上协议层的功能设置在CU,PDCP以下的协议层,例如RLC层和MAC层等的功能设置在DU。
这种协议层的划分仅仅是一种举例,还可以在其它协议层划分,例如在RLC层划分,将RLC层及以上协议层的功能设置在CU,RLC层以下协议层的功能设置在DU;或者,在某个协议层中划分,例如将RLC层的部分功能和RLC层以上的协议层的功能设置在CU,将RLC层的剩余功能和RLC层以下的协议层的功能设置在DU。此外,也可以按其它方式划分,例如按时延划分,将处理时间需要满足时延要求的功能设置在DU,不需要满足该时延要求的功能设置在CU。
此外,射频装置可以拉远,不放在DU中,也可以集成在DU中,或者部分拉远部分集成在DU中,在此不作任何限制。
图3为本申请实施例适用的又一种网络架构示意图。相对于图2所示的网络架构,图3中还可以将CU的控制面(CP)和用户面(UP)分离,分成不同实体来实现,分别为控制面(control plane,CP)CU实体(即CU-CP实体)和用户面(user plane,UP)CU实体(即CU-UP实体)。
在以上网络架构中,CU产生的信令可以通过DU发送给终端设备,或者终端设备产生的信令可以通过DU发送给CU。DU可以不对该信令进行解析而直接通过协议层封装而透传给终端设备或CU。以下实施例中如果涉及这种信令在DU和终端设备之间的传输,此时,DU对信令的发送或接收包括这种场景。例如,RRC或PDCP层的信令最终会处理为PHY层的信令发送给终端设备,或者,由接收到的PHY层的信令转变而来。在这种架构下,该RRC或PDCP层的信令,即也可以认为是由DU发送的,或者,由DU和射频装载发送的。
上述图1、图2或图3所示意的网络架构可以适用于各种无线接入技术(radio access technology,RAT)的通信系统中,例如可以是LTE通信系统,也可以是5G(或者称为新无线(new radio,NR))通信系统,也可以是LTE通信系统与5G通信系统之间的过渡系统,该过渡系统也可以称为4.5G通信系统,当然也可以是未来的通信系统。本申请实施例描述的网络架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请实施例的技术方案,并不构成对于本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着通信网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题,同样适用。
本申请以下实施例中的装置,根据其实现的功能,可以位于终端设备或网络设备。当采用以上CU-DU的结构时,网络设备可以为CU节点、或DU节点、或包括CU节点和DU节点的RAN设备。
在图1、图2或图3所示意的网络架构中,终端设备通过随机接入过程可建立与网络设备的上行同步,并获得唯一的终端标识符,比如小区无线网络临时标识(cell radio network temporary identifier,C-RNTI),进而终端设备可与网络设备进行上行传输。
下面对本申请实施例所涉及的随机接入过程的相关技术特征进行解释说明。
一、随机接入过程的触发
随机接入过程是指从终端设备发送随机接入信号开始尝试接入网络,到与网络设备建立起基本的信令连接之前的过程。随机接入信号可用于发起随机接入过程,例如随机接入 信号可以为随机接入前导码(random access preamble)。可选的,随机接入信号还可以为解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS)。终端设备可通过随机接入过程与网络设备进行信息交互,实现与通信系统的上行时间同步,可选的,还可以通过随机接入过程进行资源请求或数据传输。本申请实施例中,随机接入过程也可以称为随机接入或随机接入信道过程或随机接入方式,本申请对此不做区分,下文描述中可替代使用。
示例性地,触发随机接入过程的事件(或场景)可以有多种,比如,LTE通信系统中,可以由以下场景触发随机接入过程:(1)终端设备初始接入,由无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)空闲(RRC_IDLE)态到RRC连接(RRC_CONNECTED)态时建立无线连接;(2)RRC连接重建过程(RRC connection re-establishment procedure);(3)切换(handover);(4)RRC_CONNECTED态下,下行数据到达(此时需要回复确认(ACK)/非确认(NACK))时,上行处于“不同步”状态;(5)RRC_CONNECTED态下,上行数据到达(比如需要上报测量报告或发送用户数据)时,上行处于“不同步”状态或没有可用的物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)资源用于调度请求(scheduling request,SR)传输(此时允许上行同步的终端设备使用随机接入信道(random access channel,RACH)来替代SR)。又比如,5G通信系统中,还可以由以下场景触发随机接入过程:(1)非激活(Inactive)状态下上行(uplink,UL)数据到达,此时上行处于“不同步”状态;(2)Inactive状态下下行(downlink,DL)数据到达,此时上行处于“不同步”状态;(3)请求On-demand系统消息(system information,SI)(5G通信系统中将系统消息划分成两类:minimum SI和On-demand SI,其中minimum SI是所有终端设备都需要接受的,而On-demand SI可根据终端设备自身的需要进行请求);(4)波束失败恢复(beam failure recovery,BFR)。
二、高优先级和低优先级随机接入过程
5G通信系统中根据触发随机接入过程的事件将随机接入过程划分为高优先级随机接入过程和低优先级随机接入过程,其中,将切换或者波束失败恢复事件触发的随机接入过程规定为高优先级随机接入过程,将其它事件触发的随机接入过程规定为低优先级随机接入过程。
高优先级随机接入过程和低优先级随机接入过程的一个区别在于:网络设备可以为高优先级随机接入过程配置两个特殊的参数,分别为高优先级随机接入过程使用的功率爬坡步长(powerRampingStepHighPriority)和用于区分随机接入过程的退避因子(scalingFactorBI)。下面分别对这两个参数进行说明。
(1)powerRampingStepHighPriority
powerRampingStepHighPriority主要用在功率爬坡机制中,功率爬坡机制是指:当随机接入前导码发送失败后,通过不断抬升发送功率来提高重发前导码成功的概率。示例性地,功率爬坡公式如下:
preambleReceivedTargetPower+DELTA_PREAMBLE+(PREAMBLE_POWER_RAMPING_COUNTER–1)×PREAMBLE_POWER_RAMPING_STEP
其中,preambleReceivedTargetPower为前导码目标接收功率,DELTA_PREAMBLE为基于前导码格式的功率偏差,可以为预先配置的数值;PREAMBLE_POWER_RAMPING_COUNTER为功率爬坡计数器,PREAMBLE_POWER_RAMPING_STEP为前导码功率爬坡步长。
举个例子,如果第一次功率爬坡的功率是X,当第一次功率爬坡后随机接入前导码发送失败,则以X+PREAMBLE_POWER_RAMPING_STEP的功率来进行第二次发送;如果第二次功率爬坡后随机接入前导码仍发送失败,则以X+PREAMBLE_POWER_RAMPING_STEP+PREAMBLE_POWER_RAMPING_STEP的功率进行提升,以此类推,直到达到最大发送次数或者达到终端设备的最大发送功率限制。
对于高优先随机接入过程来说,PREAMBLE_POWER_RAMPING_STEP的取值为powerRampingStepHighPriority;对于低优先级随机接入过程来说,PREAMBLE_POWER_RAMPING_STEP的取值为功率爬坡步长(powerRampingStep)。
(2)scalingFactorBI
scalingFactorBI主要用在退避机制中,退避机制是指当前导码发送失败后,为了提升随机接入成功概率,终端设备可以在0和退避指示(backoff indicator,BI)之间随机选择一个数值,然后终端设备在延迟相应数值对应的时间后再次发起随机接入过程,从而提升随机接入成功概率。示例性地,对于低优先级随机接入过程来说,如果需要进行退避,则终端设备可以直接使用网络设备在RAR消息中携带的BI值;对于高优先级随机接入过程来说,如果需要进行退避,则终端设备可以将BI值乘以scalingFactorBI,即终端设备在执行退避机制时,在0~BI*scalingFactorBI范围内随机选择一个数值,然后在延迟相应数值时间后再次发起随机接入过程。
下面对网络设备配置上述两个参数的实现方式进行描述。
根据前文的描述可知,高优先级随机接入过程包括BFR事件触发的随机接入过程和切换事件触发的随机接入过程,也就是说,网络设备可以为BFR事件或切换事件配置上述两个参数。比如,针对于BFR事件,网络设备可以向终端设备发送BFR配置信息,BFR配置信息中包括网络设备为BFR事件配置的powerRampingStepHighPriority和scalingFactorBI;相应地,终端设备接收到BFR配置信息后,若确定发生BFR事件,则可以使用网络设备为BFR配置的参数发起随机接入过程。又比如,针对于切换事件,目标网络设备可以通过源网络设备向终端设备发送切换命令,切换命令中包括目标网络设备为切换事件配置的powerRampingStepHighPriority和scalingFactorBI;相应地,终端设备接收到切换命令后,可以使用目标网络设备为切换事件配置的参数发起随机接入过程。
三、随机接入过程包括的步骤
上述是以触发随机接入过程的事件,将随机接入过程划分为高优先级随机接入过程和低优先级随机接入过程。示例性地,根据终端设备发送的前导码是否是由终端设备自身选择,可以将随机接入过程划分为基于竞争的随机接入过程和基于非竞争的随机接入过程。其中,基于竞争的随机接入过程,可以由终端设备选择前导码;当触发随机接入过程的事件为前面介绍的除切换以及波束失败恢复外的其他事件时,可以采用基于竞争的随机接入过程。基于非竞争的随机接入过程,可以由网络设备为终端设备分配前导码;当触发随机接入过程的事件为前面介绍的切换以及波束失败恢复事件时,可以采用基于非竞争的随机接入过程。
下面以基于竞争的随机接入过程为例,结合图4描述随机接入过程所包括的一些步骤。图4为本申请实施例提供的一种随机接入过程示意图。如图4所示,本申请实施例提供的随机接入过程包括如下步骤。
步骤400:网络设备向终端设备发送随机接入配置信息,则终端设备可接收来自网络设备的随机接入配置信息,所述随机接入配置信息用于配置随机接入参数。该步骤可以为用于执行随机接入过程之前的准备工作,不属于随机接入过程包括的步骤。
示例性地,随机接入参数可以包括以下一项或多项:用于传输随机接入前导码的物理随机接入信道(physical random access channel,PRACH)资源集;随机接入前导码(preamble)集合;随机接入前导码的最大传输次数;随机接入前导码的初始发射功率;随机接入响应窗的大小;第3消息的混合自动重传请求(hybrid automatic repeat request,HARQ)最大重传次数;竞争决议定时器的时长。进一步地,随机接入参数还可以包括功率爬坡步长。
其中,PRACH资源集可以包括终端设备发送前导码可使用的时频资源,可以通过字段rach-ConfigGeneric来指示。随机接入前导码的最大传输次数可以通过字段totalNumberOfRA-Preambles来指示。随机接入前导码的初始发射功率可以通过字段reambleInitialReceivedTargetpower来指示。随机接入响应窗的大小用于指示随机接入响应窗所包括的子帧个数,可以通过字段ra-ResponsewindowSize来指示,随机接入响应窗起始于终端设备发送preamble的子帧(如果preamble在时域上跨多个子帧,则以最后一个子帧计算)之后的第3个子帧,并持续ra-ResponseWindowSize个子帧。第3消息的HARQ最大重传次数可以通过字段maxHARQ-Msg3来指示。竞争决议定时器的时长可以通过字段mac-ContentionResolutionTimer来指示。
需要说明的是:(1)上述所描述的“PRACH资源集、preamble集合、随机接入前导码的最大传输次数、随机接入前导码的初始发射功率、随机接入响应窗的大小、第3消息的HARQ最大重传次数、竞争决议定时器的时长”中的每一项可以预先设置对应的默认值。比如,网络设备发送的随机接入配置信息配置了RACH资源集,而未配置随机接入前导码的最大传输次数(比如随机接入配置信息包括字段rach-ConfigGeneric,而不包括字段totalNumberOfRA-Preambles)时,随机接入前导码的最大传输次数的取值可以为默认值。
(2)上述是对随机接入参数包括的内容进行示例性描述,在其它可能的实施例中,随机接入参数还可能包括其它与随机接入过程相关的内容,比如时间指示信息。
下面对时间指示信息进行介绍。
现有的随机接入过程,终端设备在第一次发送Msg1时,不需要进行等待,而是可以直接发送;当第一次发送Msg1失败而需要进行重发时,终端设备可以根据网络设备在Msg2中所指示的BI来确定退避时间,进而在等待相应的退避时间后,重新发送Msg1。然而,由于5G通信系统未来支持海量的终端设备,有可能同时有大量终端设备需要发起随机接入过程,当大量终端设备在同一时刻发送Msg1会造成接入拥塞,影响接入性能。为解决这一问题,本申请实施例考虑可以在随机接入参数中引入时间指示信息,时间指示信息用于确定在初次发送Msg1之前需要等待的时间。也就是说,终端设备在第一次发送Msg1时,可以根据时间指示信息来确定退避时间,并在等待退避时间后发起Msg1;当第一次发送Msg1失败而需要进行重发时,终端设备可以根据网络设备在Msg2中所指示的BI来确定退避时间。采用该方式,由于终端设备在第一次发生Msg1可以根据确定出的退避时间进行退避,从而能够有效避免大量终端设备在同一时刻发送Msg1造成接入拥塞,提高接入性能。
示例性地,上述时间指示信息也可以称为BI(为便于与Msg2中的BI进行区分,可以表示为BI’)。终端设备根据BI’确定退避时间,可以是指,终端设备在0和BI’之间随机 选择一个数值作为退避时间。在一个示例中,时间指示信息可以由网络设备通过广播消息来发送或者通过专用RRC信令(比如RRC重配置消息或切换命令)来发送。
步骤401:终端设备向网络设备发送preamble,则网络设备从终端设备接收preamble,其中,该preamble又被称为随机接入过程中的第1消息或消息1(MSG1)。
其中,步骤401中终端设备向网络设备发送的preamble可以为终端设备从步骤400中获取到的用于随机接入的preamble集合中选择的一个preamble。
步骤402:网络设备在检测到终端设备发送的preamble后,向终端设备发送随机接入响应(random access response,RAR)消息,则终端设备从网络设备接收RAR消息,其中,该RAR消息又被称为随机接入过程中的第2消息或消息2(MSG2)。消息2中可包括如下信息中的一种或多种:检测到的preamble的标识或索引、上行时间同步信息、为终端设备发送消息3分配的上行资源和BI,当然消息2中还可以包括其它信息。preamble的标识例如为随机接入前导标识(random access preamble identifier,RAPID)。对于随机接入失败的终端设备,网络设备可向其发送退避指示,所述退避指示可以用于指示时间值,所述时间值用于确定退避时间范围,当该随机接入过程失败时,终端设备可在该退避时间范围内选择退避时间,并在选择的退避时间结束之后才可以再次使用网络设备在步骤400中为其配置的随机接入资源。需要说明的是,若网络设备未接收到终端设备发送的preamble,则网络设备发送的消息2中不包括与该终端设备对应的preamble的标识。
步骤403:终端设备根据消息2向网络设备发送上行数据,则网络设备从终端设备接收该上行数据。其中,该上行数据又被称为随机接入过程中的第3消息或消息3(MSG3),消息3可以包括不同的场景信息的标识,例如,终端设备的标识(如UE-ID)。例如,针对终端设备进行无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接重建的场景,对应的场景信息的标识为小区无线网络临时标识(cell radio network temporary identifier,C-RNTI)。示例性地,消息2中可以携带上行资源和时间提前(time advanced,TA)命令(command),如此,终端设备接收到消息2之后,使用该TA command所指示的TA值在消息2指示的上行资源上发送消息3。
步骤404:网络设备在检测到消息3时,向终端设备发送竞争解决消息,则终端设备从网络设备接收竞争解决消息,其中,该竞争解决消息又被称为第4消息或消息4(MSG4)。消息4可以包括消息3的部分内容或包含C-RNTI的物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH),即消息4包括PDCCH承载的C-RNTI。例如若网络设备接收到终端设备发送的上行数据,消息4可以携带终端设备的标识;若网络设备未接收到终端设备发送的上行数据,则网络设备发送的消息4中不包括该终端设备的标识;终端设备在接收到该消息4时,可根据消息4携带的终端设备的标识与自身的标识是否相符来确定是否成功接入网络设备,其中,若两者相符则确定终端设备成功接入网络设备,若两者不相符则确定终端设备接入失败。
需要说明的是,上述所描述的为基于竞争的随机接入过程(或者低优先级随机接入过程)的实现过程,高优先级随机接入过程的实现可以参照处理,其差别在于,对于高优先级随机接入过程来说,随机接入参数除包括上述所描述的参数外,还可以包括powerRampingStepHighPriority和scalingFactorBI。
四、MPS终端设备和MCS终端设备
5G通信系统中,终端设备可能支持一些比较紧急的业务,比如MPS或MCS,由 于上述是基于触发随机接入过程的事件来划分随机接入过程的优先级,而未考虑触发随机接入过程的业务的紧急程度,因此,为保证比较紧急的业务的正常执行,还可以考虑基于触发随机接入过程的业务紧急程度来区分随机接入过程的优先级,比如,将比较紧急的业务所触发的随机接入过程也规定为高优先级随机接入过程。本申请实施例中,支持MPS的终端设备可以称为MPS终端设备,支持MCS的终端设备可以称为MCS终端设备。MPS终端设备或MCS终端设备所发起的随机接入过程均可以理解为高优先级随机接入过程。其中,MPS终端设备(或MCS终端设备)所发起的随机接入过程和切换事件(或BFR事件)触发的随机接入过程可以是相同优先级,或者也可以是不同优先级。
示例性地,可以通过终端设备的接入标识(Access Identity)来识别终端设备的类型,Access Identity=0表示终端设备没有配置任何参数;Access Identity=1表示终端设备为MPS终端设备;Access Identity=2表示终端设备为MCS终端设备;Access Identity=3~10是预留给未来使用;Access Identity=11表示终端设备是对应接入等级(Access Class)11的终端设备,以此类推。需要说明的是,Access Identity可以为内嵌在终端设备的用户识别模块(subscriber identification module,SIM)卡中的信息,网络设备不知晓该信息,即网络设备不知晓终端设备的类型。
由于网络设备不知晓终端设备的类型,即不知晓哪些终端设备为MPS终端设备或MCS终端设备,因此,在一种可能的实现方式中,网络设备可以通过广播消息来为MPS终端设备或MCS终端设备配置随机接入参数。比如,在广播消息中新增一个字段ra-Prioritization,在字段ra-Prioritization中配置powerRampingStepHighPriority和scalingFactorBI两个参数。广播消息中还可以包括一个字段ra-prioritizationFor AccessIdentity,此字段包括7个比特(bit),每个比特的取值用于指示该比特对应的类型的终端设备是否使用ra-prioritization中的参数,比如当某一比特的取值为1时,表示该比特对应的类型的终端设备使用ra-prioritization中的参数,当某一比特的取值为0时,表示该比特对应的类型的终端设备不使用ra-prioritization中的参数。示例性地,第1个比特对应的类型为Access Identity=1,第2个比特对应的类型为Access Identity=2,第3个比特对应的类型为Access Identity=11,第4个比特对应的类型为Access Identity=12,第5个比特对应的类型为Access Identity=13,第6个比特对应的类型为Access Identity=14,第7个比特对应的类型为Access Identity=15。如图5a所示,为字段ra-prioritizationForAccessIdentity的一种示例图,由于图5a中第1个比特和第2个比特的取值为1,因此,终端设备接收到该广播消息后,若确定自身的Access Identity=1或2,则可以使用ra-prioritization中的参数发起随机接入过程。
示例性地,广播消息中还可以包括为低优先级随机接入过程配置的随机接入参数,比如powerRampingStep。
需要说明的是,上述示例中,广播消息中包括一个字段ra-Prioritization,当终端设备为MPS终端设备时,可以使用该ra-Prioritization所包括的随机接入参数发起随机接入过程;当终端设备为MCS终端设备时,也可以使用该ra-Prioritization所包括的随机接入参数发起随机接入过程。也就是说,网络设备统一为MPS终端设备和MCS终端设备配置随机接入参数,此种情形下,为MPS终端设备和MCS终端设备配置的随机接入参数相同。
在其它可能的示例中,网络设备也可以分别为MPS终端设备和MCS终端设备配置随机接入参数,此种情形下,为MPS终端设备和MCS终端设备配置的随机接入参数可以不相同,从而提高配置的灵活性。比如,在广播消息中新增两个字段ra-Prioritization,分别为ra-Prioritization-1和ra-Prioritization-2,在ra-Prioritization-1中为MPS终端设备配置powerRampingStepHighPriority和scalingFactorBI两个参数,在ra-Prioritization-2中为MCS终端设备配置powerRampingStepHighPriority和scalingFactorBI两个参数。进而,当终端设备为MPS终端设备时,可以使用该ra-Prioritization-1所包括的随机接入参数发起随机接入过程;当终端设备为MCS终端设备时,可以使用该ra-Prioritization-2所包括的随机接入参数发起随机接入过程。
根据上述对相关技术特征的介绍可知,网络设备可以通过发送广播消息的方式为MPS终端设备(或MCS终端设备)配置随机接入参数。此外,由于网络设备不知晓终端设备的类型,因此,网络设备还可能通过上文中所描述的方式为MPS终端设备(或MCS终端设备)的BFR事件或切换事件配置随机接入参数,从而导致当发生BFR事件或切换事件时,MPS终端设备(或MCS终端设备)不知采用哪一种随机接入的参数来发起随机接入过程。
举个例子,如图5b所示,在步骤1中,网络设备发送广播消息,广播消息中包括为MPS终端设备或MCS终端设备配置的随机接入参数(称为随机接入参数1,比如包括powerRampingStepHigh Priority1和scalingFactorBI1两个参数),进一步地,广播消息中还可以包括用于发起低优先级随机接入过程的随机接入参数(比如powerRampingStep)。在步骤2中,终端设备接收到广播消息后,根据Access Identity(比如Access Identity=1)确定需要使用为MPS终端设备配置的随机接入参数。在步骤3中,网络设备由于不知道终端设备的类型,还可能通过单播的方式向终端设备发送BFR配置信息,BFR配置信息中包括为BFR事件配置的随机接入参数(称为随机接入参数2,比如包括powerRampingStepHighPriority2和scalingFactorBI2)。在步骤4中,终端设备将不清楚采用随机接入参数1和随机接入参数2中的哪一种随机接入参数来发起由BFR事件触发的随机接入过程。
再举个例子,如图5c所示,在步骤1中,源网络设备发送广播消息,广播消息中包括为MPS终端设备或MCS终端设备配置的随机接入参数(称为随机接入参数1,比如包括powerRampingStepHigh Priority1和scalingFactorBI1两个参数),进一步地,广播消息中还可以包括用于发起低优先级随机接入过程的随机接入参数。在步骤2中,终端设备接收到广播消息后,根据Access Identity(比如Access Identity=1)确定需要使用为MPS终端设备配置的随机接入参数。在步骤3中,源网络设备向目标网络设备发送切换请求。在步骤4中,目标网络设备接收切换请求,但由于不知道终端设备的类型,因此按照正常切换的终端设备进行处理,即为切换事件配置随机接入参数(称为随机接入参数3,比如包括powerRampingStep HighPriority3和scalingFactorBI3),并通过源网络设备发送给终端设备。在步骤5中,终端设备将不清楚采用随机接入参数1和随机接入参数3中的哪一种随机接入参数来发起由切换事件触发的随机接入过程。
基于此,本申请实施例提供一种随机接入方法及装置,用于解决终端设备不清楚 发起随机接入过程所使用的随机接入参数的问题。
示例性地,本申请实施例提供的随机接入方法可以包括三种可能的方案,为便于描述,称为方案一、方案二和方案三。在方案一中,网络设备不知晓终端设备的类型,由终端设备从第一随机接入参数和第二随机接入参数中确定目标随机接入参数,并使用目标随机接入参数发起随机接入过程;如此,由终端设备来确定目标随机接入参数,从而通过对终端设备的行为进行规范,明确了终端设备发起随机接入过程所使用的随机接入参数,避免终端设备选择随机接入参数的行为不清楚的问题。在方案二中,网络设备可以获取终端设备的类型,进而当确定终端设备为MPS终端设备或MCS终端设备时,可以向终端设备发送指示信息,来指示目标随机接入参数,相应地,终端设备接收到指示信息后,可以使用目标随机接入参数发起随机接入过程;如此,一方面,由网络设备来指示目标随机接入参数,明确了终端设备发起随机接入过程所使用的随机接入参数,另一方面,采用网络设备指示的方式,可以使得目标随机接入参数的选择更加灵活。在方案三中,网络设备可以获取终端设备的类型,并根据终端设备的类型,为终端设备配置随机接入参数;相应地,终端设备可以使用网络设备配置的随机接入参数发起随机接入过程;如此,网络设备可以根据终端设备的类型来配置随机接入参数,从而能够有效避免为MPS终端设备或MCS终端设备配置多种随机接入参数而导致终端设备不清楚采用哪一种随机接入参数来发起随机接入过程的问题。
实施例一
在实施例一中,将基于上述方案一描述随机接入方法的一种可能的实现。
图6为本申请实施例一提供的随机接入方法所对应的流程示意图,如图6所示,包括:
步骤601,第一网络设备向终端设备发送第一信息,第一信息用于指示为第一类型终端设备配置的第一随机接入参数,第一随机接入参数可以理解为第一类型终端设备对应的随机接入参数。
示例性地,第一类型终端设备可以为MPS终端设备或MCS终端设备。下文中主要以第一类型终端设备为MPS终端设备为例进行描述,当第一类型终端设备为MCS终端设备时可以参照实施。
相应地,在步骤602中,终端设备接收第一信息,并获取第一随机接入参数。
其中,第一随机接入参数可以包括第一功率爬坡步长和/或第一退避因子;其中,第一功率爬坡步长可以为powerRampingStepHighPriority,第一退避因子可以为scalingFactorBI。第一网络设备向终端设备发送第一信息的实现方式可以有多种。在一种可能的实现方式,第一网络设备发送广播消息,广播消息中包括第一信息,比如第一信息可以包括前文中所描述的字段ra-Prioritization(或者前文示例中所描述的ra-Prioritization-1)和字段ra-prioritizationForAccessIdentity。进一步地,广播消息中还可以包括为低优先级随机接入过程配置的第三随机接入参数,第三随机接入参数可以包括第三功率爬坡步长,第三功率爬坡步长可以为powerRampingStep。
步骤603,第二网络设备向终端设备发送第二信息,第二信息用于指示为第一事件配置的第二随机接入参数,第二随机接入参数可以理解为第一事件对应的随机接入参数。
本申请实施例中所涉及的为第一事件配置随机接入参数,可以理解为网络设备为终端设备配置第一事件对应的随机接入参数。
相应地,在步骤604中,终端设备接收第二信息,并获取第二随机接入参数。
示例性地,第二随机接入参数可以包括第二功率爬坡步长和/或第二退避因子,其中,第二功率爬坡步长可以为powerRampingStepHighPriority,第二退避因子可以为scalingFactorBI。在该方案中,第二随机接入参数可以不同于第一随机接入参数,以第一随机接入参数可以包括第一功率爬坡步长和第一退避因子,第二随机接入参数可以包括第二功率爬坡步长和第二退避因子为例,第二随机接入参数可以不同于第一随机接入参数,可以包括:第一随机接入参数中所包括的powerRampingStepHighPriority不同于第二随机接入参数中所包括的powerRampingStepHighPriority,和/或,第一随机接入参数中所包括的scalingFactorBI不同于第二随机接入参数中所包括的scalingFactorBI。
需要说明的是:(1)当上述第一随机接入参数包括第一功率爬坡步长,而不包括第一退避因子时,第一退避因子可以为预先约定的值,或者第一退避因子通过其它方式单独配置,具体不做限定。类似地,当上述第一随机接入参数包括第一退避因子,而不包括第一功率爬坡步长时,第一功率爬坡步长可以为预先约定的值,或者第一功率爬坡步长通过其它方式单独配置,具体不做限定。第二随机接入参数也是类似。(2)第一随机接入参数和第二随机接入参数所包括的参数可以相同,比如,第一随机接入参数包括第一功率爬坡步长,第二随机接入参数包括第二功率爬坡步长;又比如,第一随机接入参数包括第一退避因子,第二随机接入参数包括第二退避因子;又比如,第一随机接入参数包括第一功率爬坡步长和第一退避因子,第二随机接入参数包括第二功率爬坡步长和第二退避因子。
下面对第二网络设备向终端设备发送第二信息的实现方式进行介绍。
本申请实施例中,第二网络设备和第一网络设备可以为同一网络设备;或者,第二网络设备和第一网络设备也可以为不同的网络设备,比如,第二网络设备为切换场景中的目标网络设备,第一网络设备为切换场景中的源网络设备。第一事件可以是指触发的随机接入参数为高优先级随机接入过程的事件,比如BFR事件或切换事件。
在一个示例中,第二网络设备和第一网络设备为同一网络设备,且第一事件为BFR事件。此种情形下,第二网络设备向终端设备发送第二信息的实现方式可以有多种,比如,第二网络设备可以向终端设备发送高层信令,高层信令中包括第二信息。其中,高层信令可以是指高层协议层发出的信令,高层协议层为物理层以上的至少一个协议层。其中,高层协议层可以包括以下协议层中的至少一个:MAC层、RLC层、PDCP层、RRC层和非接入层(non access stratum,NAS)。
当第二网络设备通过RRC层信令向终端设备发送第二信息时,RRC层信令可以为RRC重配置消息或者广播消息。其中,RRC重配置消息可以为RRCConnectionReconfiguration消息,或者RRCReconfiguration消息,具体不做限定。
在又一个示例中,第二网络设备为目标网络设备,第一网络设备为源网络设备,且第一事件为切换事件。此种情形下,第二网络设备向终端设备发送第二信息的实现方式可以有多种,比如,第二网络设备通过第一网络设备向终端设备发送切换命令,切换命令中包括第二信息。示例性地,切换命令可以为RRC信令。
需要说明的是,步骤601可以在步骤603之前执行,或者步骤601也可以和步骤603同时执行,又或者,步骤601也可以在步骤603之后执行,具体不做限定。
步骤605,当终端设备为第一类型终端设备且触发随机接入过程的事件为第一事件时,确定目标随机接入参数。
步骤606,终端设备使用目标随机接入参数发起随机接入过程。
示例性地,终端设备可以获取自身的接入标识,若接入标识为1,则可以确定为第一类型终端设备。当终端设备为第一类型终端设备时,下面描述两种确定目标随机接入参数的方式,分别为实现方式1和实现方式2。
实现方式1
终端设备可以基于预设规则来确定目标随机接入参数,比如,预设规则可以为若触发随机接入过程的事件为第一事件,则目标随机接入参数为第一事件对应的随机接入参数(即第二随机接入参数)。需要说明的是,当终端设备为第一类型终端设备时,可以基于预设规则来确定目标随机接入参数;当终端设备不是第一类型终端设备时,可以按照现有方式来确定发起随机接入过程需要使用的随机接入参数。
在该实现方式的一个示例中,基于预设规则确定目标随机接入参数的过程可以参见图7a所示,包括:
步骤1,触发随机接入过程的事件为第一事件。
步骤2,判断是否被配置了第一事件对应的第二随机接入参数,若是,则执行步骤3,若否,则执行步骤4。
步骤3,当被配置了第一事件对应的第二随机接入参数时,使用第二随机接入参数发起随机接入过程。
步骤4,当未被配置第一事件对应的第二随机接入参数时,确定是否被配置了第一类型终端设备对应的第一随机接入参数,若是,则执行步骤5,若否,则执行步骤6。
步骤5,当被配置了第一类型终端设备对应的第一随机接入参数时,使用第一随机接入参数发起随机接入过程。
步骤6,当未被配置第一事件对应的第二随机接入参数且未被配置第一类型终端设备对应的第一随机接入参数时,使用第三随机接入参数发起随机接入过程。
在该实现方式的又一个示例中,基于预设规则确定目标随机接入参数的过程可以参见图7b所示,包括:
步骤1,随机接入过程被触发。
步骤2,判断是否被配置了第一类型终端设备对应的第一随机接入参数,若是,则执行步骤3,若否,则执行步骤9。
步骤3,确定触发随机接入过程的事件是否为BFR事件或切换事件,若是BFR事件,则执行步骤4,若是切换事件,则执行步骤6,若既不是BFR事件也不是切换事件,则执行步骤8。
步骤4,确定是否被配置了BFR事件对应的随机接入参数(称为第二随机接入参数a),若是,则执行步骤5,若否,则执行步骤8。
步骤5,使用第二随机接入参数a发起随机接入过程。
步骤6,确定是否被配置了切换事件对应的随机接入参数(称为第二随机接入参数b),若是,则执行步骤7,若否,则执行步骤8。
步骤7,使用为第二随机接入参数b发起随机接入过程。
步骤8,使用第一随机接入参数发起随机接入过程。
步骤9,确定触发随机接入过程的事件是否为BFR事件或切换事件,若是BFR事件,则执行步骤10,若是切换事件,则执行步骤12,若既不是BFR事件也不是切换事件,则 执行步骤14。
步骤10,确定是否被配置了BFR事件对应的第二随机接入参数a,若是,则执行步骤11,若否,则执行步骤14。
步骤11,使用BFR事件对应的第二随机接入参数a发起随机接入过程。
步骤12,确定是否被配置了切换事件对应的第二随机接入参数b,若是,则执行步骤13,若否,则执行步骤14。
步骤13,使用切换事件对应的第二随机接入参数b发起随机接入过程。
步骤14,使用第三随机接入参数发起随机接入过程。
实现方式2
终端设备可以基于随机接入参数对应的随机接入成功率,将对应的随机接入成功率高的随机接入参数确定为目标随机接入参数(或者说,将更有利于随机接入成功的随机接入参数确定为目标随机接入参数)。其中,随机接入成功率也可以替换为随机接入等级或者其它类似概念,具体不做限定。比如,终端设备若确定第一随机接入参数对应的随机接入成功率大于第二随机接入参数对应的随机接入成功率,则可以确定目标随机接入参数为第一随机接入参数;终端设备若确定第一随机接入参数对应的随机接入成功率小于第二随机接入参数对应的随机接入成功率,则可以确定目标随机接入参数为第二随机接入参数;终端设备若确定第一随机接入参数对应的随机接入成功率等于第二随机接入参数对应的随机接入成功率,则可以确定目标随机接入参数为第一随机接入参数或第二随机接入参数。其中,powerRampingStepHighPriority越大,则对应的随机接入成功率越高;scalingFactorBI越小,则对应的随机接入成功率越高。
示例性地,以第一随机接入参数为例,确定第一随机接入参数对应的随机接入成功率的方式可以有多种,在一个示例中,第一随机接入参数对应的随机接入成功率可以为powerRampingStepHighPriority和scalingFactorBI的函数运算结果,即F(powerRampingStepHighPriority,scalingFactorBI)。比如,第一随机接入参数对应的随机接入成功率可以等于powerRampingStepHighPriority*a–scalingFactorBI*b,其中,a、b为预设权重值,预设权重值可以是协议预定义的,也可以是网络设备为终端设备配置的。
需要说明的是:(1)在上述步骤605中,若终端设备为第一类型终端设备且触发随机接入过程的事件为第二事件(第二事件可以理解为第一事件以外的其它事件)时,可以使用第一随机接入参数发起随机接入过程。若终端设备不是第一类型终端设备,则当触发随机接入过程的事件为第一事件时,可以使用第二随机接入参数发起随机接入过程;当触发随机接入过程的事件为第二事件时,可以使用第三随机接入参数发起随机接入过程。
(2)上文中侧重描述了第一随机接入参数、第二随机接入参数和第三随机接入参数的不同之处,比如第一随机接入参数可以包括第一功率爬坡步长和第一退避因子,第二随机接入参数可以包括第二功率爬坡步长和第二退避因子,第三随机接入参数可以包括第三功率爬坡步长。此外,第一随机接入参数(或第二随机接入参数或第三随机接入参数)还可以包括其它可能的参数,为便于描述,将第一随机接入参数(或第二随机接入参数或第三随机接入参数)还可以包括的其它可能的参数称为第一参数,第一参数包括以下一项或多项:用于传输随机接入前导码的PRACH资源集;随机接入前导码集合;随机接入前导码的最大传输次数;随机接入前导码的初始发射功率;随机接入响应窗的大小;第3消息的HARQ最大重传次数;竞争决议定时器的时长。可以参见前文中的描述,此处不再赘述。 第一随机接入参数、第二随机接入参数和第三随机接入参数所包括的第一参数可以是由网络设备统一配置的(此时第一随机接入参数、第二随机接入参数和第三随机接入参数所包括的第一参数可以是相同的),或者,也可以是由网络设备分别配置的(此时第一随机接入参数、第二随机接入参数和第三随机接入参数所包括的第一参数可以不同),具体不做限定。
采用上述方法,针对于第一类型终端设备,当终端设备从网络侧接收到多种随机接入参数时,可以基于预设规则或者随机接入参数对应的随机接入成功率来确定目标随机接入参数,从而明确了终端设备发起随机接入过程所使用的随机接入参数。此外,在该方案中,网络设备可以无需知晓终端设备的类型,并可以按照目前已有的方式来为终端设备配置随机接入参数,也就是说,该方案对网络设备的行为改动较小,具有较强的适用性。
实施例二
在实施例二中,将基于上述方案二描述随机接入方法的一种可能的实现。
图8为本申请实施例二提供的随机接入方法所对应的流程示意图,如图8所示,包括:
步骤801,第一网络设备向终端设备发送第一信息,第一信息用于指示为第一类型终端设备配置的第一随机接入参数。示例性地,第一类型终端设备可以包括MPS终端设备或MCS终端设备。
相应地,在步骤802中,终端设备接收第一信息,并获取第一随机接入参数。
步骤803,第二网络设备向终端设备发送第二信息,第二信息用于指示为第一事件配置的第二随机接入参数。
相应地,在步骤804中,终端设备接收第二信息,并获取第二随机接入参数。
示例性地,步骤801至步骤804可以参照步骤601至步骤604,此处不再赘述。
步骤805,第二网络设备获取终端设备的类型,当终端设备的类型为第一类型(或者说终端设备为第一类型终端设备)时,向终端设备发送指示信息,指示信息用于指示目标随机接入参数。
本申请实施例中,第二网络设备可以获取类型信息,类型信息用于指示终端设备的类型。其中,类型信息指示终端设备的类型的方式可以有多种,在一个示例中,类型信息用于指示终端设备的Access Identity,根据前文的介绍可知,Access Identity共有16种取值,因此,类型信息可以包括4个比特,当4个比特的取值为0000时,表示Access Identity=0,当4个比特的取值为0001时,表示Access Identity=1,当4个比特的取值为0010时,表示Access Identity=2,以此类推。如此,第二网络设备可以根据类型信息所指示的Access Identity确定终端设备的类型,比如,若Access Identity=1,则可以确定终端设备为第一类型终端设备。在又一个示例中,类型信息可以包括1个比特,若该比特的取值为1,则说明终端设备为第一类型终端设备,若该比特的取值为0,则说明终端设备不是第一类型终端设备。在又一个示例中,考虑到本申请实施例中的终端设备可能为MPS终端设备或MCS终端设备,因此,类型信息可以包括2个比特,其中1个比特的取值用于指示终端设备是否为MPS终端设备(比如若取值为1,则说明终端设备为MPS终端设备,若取值为0,则说明终端设备不是MPS终端设备),另一个比特用于指示终端设备是否为MCS终端设备(比如若取值为1,则说明终端设备为MCS终端设备,若取值为0,则说明终端设备不是MCS终端设备)。或者,类型信息可以包括2个比特,并通过2个比特的取值来联合指 示终端设备的类型,比如00表示终端设备为MPS终端设备,01表示终端设备为MCS终端设备,10表示终端设备既不是MPS终端设备也不是MCS终端设备,11预留给未来使用。
第二网络设备和第一网络设备可以为同一网络设备(情形1);或者,第二网络设备和第一网络设备也可以为不同的网络设备,比如,第二网络设备为切换场景中的目标网络设备,第一网络设备为切换场景中的源网络设备(情形2)。下面分别针对这两种情形,描述第二网络设备获取终端设备的类型信息的实现方式。
在情形1中,第二网络设备可以通过如下示例1或示例2中所描述的方式获取终端设备的类型信息。示例1,终端设备可以向第二网络设备发送类型信息,类型信息中包括终端设备的接入标识,此种方式可以理解为终端设备主动上报类型信息;又比如,第二网络设备可以向终端设备发送类型询问消息,终端设备接收到类型询问消息后,向第二网络设备发送类型信息,此种方式可以理解为终端设备被动上报类型信息。示例2,终端设备可以向核心网设备发送类型信息,进而核心网设备将类型信息发送给第二网络设备。
进一步地,在该情形中,指示信息和第二信息可以通过同一条信令来发送,比如,第二网络设备通过同一条高层信令来发送第二信息和指示信息。或者,指示信息和第二信息也可以通过不同信令来发送,比如,第二网络设备可以通过高层信令1来发送第二信息,通过高层信令2、半静态信令或动态信令来发送指示信息。其中,半静态信令可以理解为通过MAC层发送的信令,比如媒体接入控制控制元素(medium access control control element,MAC CE),由于MAC CE有其对应的HARQ反馈信息可靠性较高,从而能够确保终端设备接收到指示信息。动态信令可以理解为通过PDCCH发送的信息,比如下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI),由于DCI直接通过物理层信息发送,从而使得终端设备接收指示信息的时延较短。其中,高层信令1和高层信令2可以理解为是RRC信令(或者说RRC消息),比如第二网络设备可以RRC消息来发送第二信息,或者可以通过RRC消息来发送指示信息,当第二网络设备通过不同高层信令来发送第二信息和指示信息时,可采用不同的RRC消息来指示。
在情形2中,第二网络设备可以通过如下示例3中所描述的方式获取终端设备的类型信息。示例3,第二网络设备可以从第一网络设备获取终端设备的类型信息,比如,第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送切换请求,切换请求中包括类型信息;其中,第一网络设备可以是通过上述示例1和示例2中所描述的方式来获取终端设备的类型信息。
进一步地,在该情形中,指示信息和第二信息可以通过同一条信令来发送,比如,第二网络设备通过切换命令来发送第二信息和指示信息。
示例性地,指示信息用于指示目标随机接入参数,可以理解为,指示信息用于指示若触发随机接入过程的事件为第一事件,则使用目标随机接入参数发起随机接入过程。在一个示例中,可以预先定义第一随机接入参数和第二随机接入参数的索引,比如第一随机接入参数的索引为00,第二随机接入参数的索引为01,进而指示信息可以包括目标随机接入参数的索引,比如若指示信息中包括的索引为01,则说明指示信息所指示的目标随机接入参数为第二随机接入参数,即若触发随机接入过程的事件为第一事件,则使用第二随机接入参数发起随机接入过程。在又一个示例中,指示信息可以包括1个比特,若该比特的取值为0,表示若触发随机接入过程的事件为第一事件,则采用第一事件对应的第二随机接入参数发起随机接入过程;若该比特的取值为1,表示若触发随机接入过程的事件为第 一事件,则采用为第一类型终端设备配置的第一随机接入参数发起随机接入过程。
步骤806,终端设备接收指示信息,当触发随机接入过程的事件为第一事件时,使用目标随机接入参数发起随机接入过程。
采用上述方法,网络设备可以获取终端设备的类型,并在终端设备为第一类型终端设备时,向终端设备发送指示信息,指示终端设备发起由第一事件触发的随机接入过程所使用的目标随机接入参数,从而解决了终端设备不知采用哪种随机接入参数发起随机接入过程的问题。在该方案中,由网络设备向终端设备指示目标随机接入参数,从而使得目标随机接入参数可以由网络设备灵活选择,且实现较为方便。
实施例二与实施例一的主要差异之处在于:实施例二中,网络设备可以获取终端设备的类型,并指示终端设备目标随机接入参数;而实施例一中,网络设备不知晓终端设备的类型,进而由终端设备来确定目标随机接入参数。除此差异之外的其它内容,二者可以相互参照。
实施例三
在实施例三中,将基于上述方案三描述随机接入方法的一种可能的实现。
图9为本申请实施例三提供的随机接入方法所对应的流程示意图,如图9所示,包括:
步骤901,第一网络设备向终端设备发送第一信息,第一信息用于指示为第一类型终端设备配置的第一随机接入参数。示例性地,第一类型终端设备可以包括MPS终端设备或MCS终端设备。
相应地,在步骤902中,终端设备接收第一信息,并获取第一随机接入参数。
步骤903,第二网络设备获取终端设备的类型。
步骤904,当终端设备的类型为第一类型时,第二网络设备向终端设备发送第二信息,第二信息用于指示为第一事件配置的第二随机接入参数,第二随机接入参数和第一随机接入参数相同。
在一个示例中,当终端设备的类型为第一类型时,第二网络设备向终端设备发送第二信息之前,可以获取第一随机接入参数。若第二网络设备和第一网络设备为同一网络设备,则第二网络设备可以直接从自身获取第一随机接入参数;若第二网络设备和第一网络设备为不同网络设备,比如第二网络设备为目标网络设备,第一网络设备为源网络设备,则第二网络设备可以从第一网络设备获取第一随机接入参数,比如第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送切换请求,切换请求中包括第一随机接入参数。第二网络设备获取到第一随机接入参数后,可以配置与第一随机接入参数相同的第二随机接入参数,或者,直接将第一随机接入参数作为第二随机接入参数。此种情形下,第二信息可以包括第二随机接入参数或者第二随机接入参数的索引。
步骤905,终端设备接收第二信息,并获取第二随机接入参数。
步骤906,当触发随机接入过程的事件为第一事件时,终端设备使用第一随机接入参数或第二随机接入参数发起随机接入过程。此处,由于第一随机接入参数和第二随机接入参数相同,终端设备可以随机选择使用第一随机接入参数或第二随机接入参数发起随机接入过程。
采用上述方法,网络设备可以获取终端设备的类型,并为终端设备配置相同的第一随机接入参数和第二随机接入参数,从而解决了终端设备不知采用哪种随机接入参数发起随 机接入过程的问题。
需要说明的是,针对于上述步骤904至步骤906,一种可能的替换方案为,当终端设备的类型为第一类型时,第二网络设备向终端设备发送第二信息,第二信息可以指示为第一事件配置的第二随机接入参数和第一随机接入参数相同,或者指示终端设备使用第一随机接入参数发起第一事件触发的随机接入过程;此种情形下,第二信息可以不再包括第二随机接入参数或第二随机接入参数的索引,比如第二信息可以包括一个比特的信息。相应地,终端设备可以接收第二信息,当触发随机接入过程的事件为第一事件时,终端设备使用第一随机接入参数发起随机接入过程。该替换方案与上述所描述的方案的差异之处在于:第二信息所包括的内容不同。由于该替换方案中,第二信息可以不再包括第二随机接入参数或第二随机接入参数的索引,从而能够有效降低资源开销;此外,第二网络设备也可以无需再获取第一随机接入参数,从而能够节省传输资源。
实施例三与实施例一的主要差异之处在于:实施例三中,网络设备根据终端设备的类型,可以将第二随机接入参数配置成和第一随机接入参数相同,从而避免了终端设备不清楚采用使用哪种随机接入参数发起随机接入过程;实施例一中,第二随机接入参数和第一随机接入参数可以不同,进而终端设备需要采用实施例一中的方式来确定目标随机接入参数。除此差异之外的其它内容,二者可以相互参照。
实施例四
在实施例四中,将基于上述方案三描述随机接入方法的又一种可能的实现。
图10为本申请实施例四提供的随机接入方法所对应的流程示意图,如图10所示,包括:
步骤1001,网络设备获取终端设备的类型。
步骤1002,当终端设备的类型为第一类型时,网络设备向终端设备发送第三信息,第三信息用于指示为第一类型终端设备配置的第一随机接入参数。
在一种可能的实现方式中,网络设备可以通过单播的方式来发送第三信息,比如,网络设备通过高层信令向终端设备发送第三信息。在该方案中,由于网络设备可以获取终端设备的类型,因此可以不再为第一类型终端设备配置第一事件对应的第二随机接入参数。
其中,第三信息可以包括第一随机接入参数,或者,第三信息可以包括第一随机接入参数的索引。比如,可以预先定义多种随机接入参数,如表1中所示意的索引为00的随机接入参数、索引为01的随机接入参数、索引为10的随机接入参数和索引为11的随机接入参数。
表1:随机接入参数的索引示例
Figure PCTCN2019109574-appb-000001
若第三信息所包括的索引为00,则说明第一随机接入参数为索引为00的随机接入参数。采用这种方式,通过索引来指示第一随机接入参数,能够有效降低资源开销。
需要说明的是,上述是以第一随机接入参数包括powerRampingStepHighPriority和scalingFactorBI为例,第一随机接入参数还可以包括以下一项或多项:用于传输随机接入前导码的PRACH资源集;随机接入前导码集合;随机接入前导码的最大传输次数;随机接入前导码的初始发射功率;随机接入响应窗的大小;第3消息的HARQ最大重传次数;竞争决议定时器的时长。具体不做限定。
步骤1003,终端设备接收第三信息,并获取第一随机接入参数。
步骤1004,当触发随机接入过程的事件为第一事件时,终端设备使用第一随机接入参数发起随机接入过程。
示例性地,在该方案中,终端设备可以被预先配置为:当触发随机接入过程的事件为第一事件时,直接使用第一随机接入参数发起随机接入过程;或者,终端设备也可以采用上述方案一中所描述的预设规则,进而使用第一随机接入参数发起随机接入过程。
示例性地,上述网络设备可以为正在为终端设备提供服务的网络设备,或者也可以为切换场景中的目标网络设备。当网络设备为目标网络设备时,可以通过源网络设备向终端设备发送第三信息。
采用上述方法,网络设备获取终端设备的类型后,若终端设备的类型为第一类型,则可以为第一类型终端设备配置第一随机接入参数,而不再为终端设备配置第一事件对应的第二随机接入参数,从而解决了终端设备不知采用哪种随机接入参数发起随机接入过程的问题,且有效节省了传输资源。
针对于上述实施例一至实施例四,需要说明的是:(1)上述图6、图8、图9和图10中的步骤编号仅为执行流程的一种示例,并不构成对步骤执行的先后顺序的限制,本申请实施例中相互之间没有时序依赖关系的步骤之间没有严格的执行顺序。(2)上述实施例一至实施例四中,侧重描述了不同实施例之间的差异,比如不同实施例之间的差异包括:实施例一中是由终端设备来确定发起随机接入过程所使用的随机接入参数,实施例二中是由网络设备向终端设备指示发起随机接入过程所使用的随机接入参数,实施例三中是由网络设备为终端设备配置相同的第一随机接入参数和第二随机接入参数,实施例四中是由网络设备为终端设备配置第一随机接入参数,而不再配置第二随机接入参数。除上述差异之外的其它内容,实施例一至实施例四可以相互参照,比如实施例三和实施例四中所涉及的获取终端设备的类型的实现可以参照实施例二。
