Description

一种频率调整方法及通信装置 技术领域
本申请实施例涉通信领域,尤其涉及一种频率调整方法及通信装置。
背景技术
在高铁、火车等终端设备快速移动的场景下,如果终端设备频繁进行小区切换会导致通信性能大幅下降。为减少因终端设备高速运动所导致的小区切换次数,可以进行小区合并,即将相邻两个传输接收节点(transmission reception point,TRP)的覆盖区域合并为同一个小区。
在合并小区组网下,两个相邻的TRP均会发送下行参考信号,对于终端设备而言,来自不同TRP的参考信号在空口叠加、干扰,终端设备根据信号接收频率可以确定叠加后的信号的频偏,无法获得终端设备与某个TRP之间准确的下行频偏。终端设备还可以根据获得的频偏锁频后发送上行信号,使得TRP无法获得准确的上行频偏,进而无法准确进行预纠偏,极大地影响了上下行数据的传输,例如增加了数据包的丢失率。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种频率调整方法及通信装置,在网络侧实现准确预纠偏,保证上下行传输性能的同时,节省了导频开销。
第一方面,提供一种信号频率调整方法,应用于通信装置,通信装置可以是基站,包括BBU、RRU,第一TRP和第二TRP共用所述基站的一个BBU,即第一TRP和第二TRP是所述基站的两个不同的收发点。所述方法包括:通信装置通过第一发送接收节点TRP向终端设备发送第一下行信号;通信装置通过第一TRP从终端设备接收上行信号,第一TRP处上行信号的接收频率为第一接收频率,终端设备处上行信号的发送频率是根据终端设备处第一下行信号的接收频率确定的;通信装置还可以通过第二TRP从终端设备接收上行信号,第二TRP处上行信号的接收频率为第二接收频率。通信装置通过第二TRP向终端设备发送第二下行信号;通信装置通过第一TRP向终端设备发送第三下行信号;其中,第二TRP处第二下行信号的发送频率减去第一TRP处第三下行信号的发送频率的值等于△f/k,△f为第一接收频率减去第二接收频率的值相等,k上行中心频率和下行中心频率的比率。
本申请实施例提供的方法中,仅通过一个TRP发送TRS,避免来自不同TRP的TRS在终端设备处相互叠加,从而可以获得准确的频偏。相比现有技术两个TRP下发TRS纠正频偏的方案,本申请实施例提供的方法在保证终端设备正常通信的同时,节约了导频开销。另一方面,通过上述方法中,基于终端设备处单个TRS的接收频率实现了用户级的锁频,可以避免终端设备处接收两个TRS信号带来的锁频混乱,再参考该终端设备的上行信号在服务TRP、协作TRP的接收频率的差值来修改协作TRP的下行发送频率,使得终端设备处来自服务TRP的下行信号的接收频率、来自协作TRP的下行信号的接收频率相同,实现了用户级的预纠偏,从而可以保证终端设备与两个TRP之间的通信性能。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的第一种可能的实现方式中,第一TRP处第三下行信号的发送频率和第一TRP处第一下行信号的发送频率相等。
本申请实施例提供的方法中,网络侧进行预纠偏时,可以仅对第二TRP处下行信号的发送频率进行调整,不需要对第一TRP处下行信号的发送频率进行调整,降低了网络侧的处理负荷。此外,以第一TRP处下行信号的发送频率为准,调整第二TRP处下行信号的发送频率,终端设备可以根据接收第一下行信号后的锁频的频率接收来自第一TRP、第二TRP的下行信号,无需再次锁频以调整接收频率,降低了终端设备的处理负荷。

本申请实施例提供的方法中,BBU可以根据第一接收频率与第二接收频率的差值调整基带信号的发送频率,将基带信号发送给RRU,RRU将基带信号转化成下行信号并发送,就可以实现第二TRP处第二下行信号的发送频率减去第一TRP处第三下行信号的发送频率的值等于△f/k。

下面对本申请实施例涉及的术语进行解释说明:
(1)频偏
受多谱勒效应影响,发送端发射的信号在接收端产生频率偏移,接收端接收信号的频率较发送端发送信号的频率的偏移称为频偏。以基站、终端设备为例,基站发送的下行信号到达终端设备后产生频偏,这个频偏称为下行频偏。为提高解调性能,终端设备还可以估计下行频偏,根据下行频偏调整自身晶振,以和频偏之后的接收信号保持频率同步。
此外,终端设备发送的上行信号到达基站后也会产生频偏,这个频偏称为上行频偏。为了提升系统性能,基站也可以估计上行频偏,并根据上行频偏进行预纠偏,即调整发射信号的频率,使终端设备的接收信号的频偏尽可能的小。
需要说明的是,上行频偏=k*下行频偏,K为正数。对于支持TDD制式的通信系统,k=1。对于支持FDD制式的通信系统k为小于等于1的正数。具体地,k可以是上行中心频率和下行中心频率的比率。
示例的,基站发送下行信号的频率为f,终端设备接收下行信号的频率为f+△f。终端设备与基站之间的下行频偏为△f,可以认为终端设备与基站之间的上行频偏也是△f。例如,终端设备发送上行信号的频率为f,基站接收上行信号的频率为f+△f。
或者,终端设备与基站之间的下行频偏为△f,终端设备与基站之间的上行频偏为k*△f。例如,终端设备发送上行信号的频率为f,基站接收上行信号的频率为f+k*△f。
(2)跟踪参考信号(tracking reference signal,TRS)
TRS可以用于终端设备估计下行频偏。具体地,基站和终端设备预先协商了TRS的发送频率f,基站按照频率f发送TRS,终端设备根据频率f+△f接收到了TRS,则下行频偏为△f。
(3)锁频
锁频指的是终端设备确定频偏然后主动调节晶振匹配频偏的过程。示例的,基站和终端设备预先协商了TRS的发送频率f,基站按照频率f发送TRS,终端设备根据频率f+△f接收到了TRS。为了更好地接收基站发送的下行信号,终端设备可以锁频在f+△f,从而终端设备后续均在f+△f接收下行数据和发送上行数据。
(4)纠偏
为了解决多普特效应产生的频偏,可以采用在终端处采用纠偏的方式。示例的,参考图5,基站的发送频率为f c,终端设备在频率(f c+f d)接收到下行信号,确定下行频偏为f d,调整自身晶振等方式纠正频偏f d
(5)预纠偏
为了解决多普特效应产生的频偏,可以采用在网络设备处采用预纠偏的方式。示 例的,参考图6,基站根据上行信号的接收频率估计出上行频偏f d,根据上行频偏调整下行信号的发送频率为((f c-f d),使得下行信号在路径上叠加多普勒频偏后,在终端设备处频偏为零。
图3或图4所示的组网下,终端设备位于两个TRP之间时,终端设备与两个TRP之间均存在频偏。示例的,参考图7,以下行频偏为例,终端设备与TRP1、TRP2之间均存在下行频偏,且与TRP1、TRP2之间的下行频偏一个是正值,一个是负值。例如,终端设备与TRP1之间的下行频偏为f d1,终端设备与TRP2之间的下行频偏为-f d2。其中,f d1和f d2均为正值。
在图3或图4所示的组网下,位于两个TRP之间的终端设备可以接收这两个TRP(例如,图3所示的TRP1、TRP2)发送的下行参考信号(例如,TRS)来自这两个TRP的下行参考信号一正一负,在空口叠加、干扰,终端设备根据叠加后的参考信号得到一个频偏。但是这个频偏并不是终端设备与TRP1、TRP2之间的下行频偏。可见,终端设备无法获得准确的下行频偏,也就无法准确进行锁频。
此外,终端设备得出不准确的下行频偏后,根据该频偏调整本地晶振后发送上行信号。TRP根据接收到的上行信号估计出上行频偏,由于终端设备发送上行信号的频率包含不准确的频偏,导致TRP根据接收到的上行信号估计出的上行频偏也不准确,没有办法进行准确的预纠偏。
示例的,TRP1、TRP2在频率1000Hz发送下行信号,假设TRP1与终端设备之间的频偏100Hz,TRP1与终端设备之间的频偏-100Hz。终端设备处来自TRP1、TRP2的下行信号相互叠加,终端设备在频率1050Hz接收到下行信号。终端锁频在频率1050Hz上,然后在频率1050Hz发送上行信号,TRP1在频率1150Hz接收到上行信号,假设上下行频偏相同,TRP1计算出的频偏为(1150Hz-1000Hz)/2=75Hz,与终端设备与TRP1之间的实际频偏不同,TRP1根据75Hz进行预纠偏,例如,在925Hz发送下行信号,从而导致终端设备接收频率为1025Hz而不是网络侧与终端设备预先协商的1000Hz,预纠偏效果不佳。
本申请实施例提供一种信号频率调整方法,在进行频率纠偏时,只有服务TRP(例如在频率f上)向终端设备发送TRS,终端设备根据TRS的接收频率(例如f+△f)确定服务TRP与终端设备之间的下行频偏(例如△f),根据该下行频偏锁频(例如锁频在f+△f,f为终端设备配置的通信频率),并发送上行信号。服务TRP和协作TRP可以分别确定接收到该上行信号的频率,然后根据服务TRP和协作TRP接收到上行信号的频率的差值确定服务TRP和协作TRP发送下行信号的频率,以保证服务TRP和协作TRP的下行信号同时被终端设备接收。
一方面,通过上述方法中,仅通过一个TRP发送TRS,避免来自不同TRP的TRS在终端设备处相互叠加,从而可以获得准确的频偏。相比现有技术两个TRP下发TRS纠正频偏的方案,本申请实施例提供的方法在保证终端设备正常通信的同时,节约了导频开销。
另一方面,通过上述方法中,基于终端设备处单个TRS的接收频率实现了用户级的锁频,可以避免终端设备处接收两个TRS信号带来的锁频混乱,再参考该终端设备的上行信号在服务TRP、协作TRP的接收频率的差值来修改协作TRP的下行发送频 率,使得终端设备处来自服务TRP的下行信号的接收频率、来自协作TRP的下行信号的接收频率相同,实现了用户级的预纠偏,从而可以保证终端设备与两个TRP之间的通信性能。

本申请实施例提供一种信号频率调整方法,适用于图3所示的组网,需要说明的是,图9中第一TRP和第二TRP可以向不同的区域或者方向的终端设备提供通信服务。通信装置可以包括或者不包括第一TRP或者第二TRP,下面结合两种实现方式进行说明:
作为第一种实现方式,通信装置包括第一TRP和第二TRP,此时通信装置可以包括基带单元、射频单元和天线组,第一TRP和第二TRP可以是通信装置中的射频单元和/或者天线,或者可以是通信装置中逻辑实体。
例如,图9中的第一TRP可以是图3中的TRP 1,第二TRP可以是图3中的TRP 2,即第一TRP、第二TRP共用同一个BBU,是同一个基站的不同收发点。图9中的通信装置可以是图3所示组网中的网络设备20,例如通信装置包括BBU 201、TRP 1和TRP 2。
作为第二种实现方式,通信装置不包括第一TRP和第二TRP,此时通信装置可以是基带单元,第一TRP和第二TRP可以是射频单元和/或者天线,第一TRP和第二TRP均与基带单元连接。
例如,图9中的第一TRP可以是图3中的TRP 1,第二TRP可以是图3中的TRP 2,即第一TRP、第二TRP共用同一个BBU,是同一个基站的不同收发点。通信装置可以是网络设备20中的BBU 201,也就是说通信装置不包括TRP 1和TRP 2。
如图9所示,所述方法包括以下步骤:
901、通信装置通过第一TRP向终端设备发送第一下行信号。
在图3所示的组网场景下,当终端设备位于相邻两个抱杆之间,终端设备与这两个抱杆上部署的TRP之间均存在频偏。示例的,本申请实施例所述的第一TRP、第二TRP部署在相邻的抱杆上。第一TRP和第二TRP接于同一个基带单元(例如,BBU),终端设备位于第一TRP和第二TRP之间时,终端设备与第一TRP和第二TRP之间均存在频偏。第一TRP是距离终端设备更近的TRP,第一TRP还可以称为服务TRP,第二TRP还可以称为协作TRP。需要说明的是,TRP与终端设备的距离可以是TRP包括的天线组与终端设备的距离。
可选的,第一下行信号可以是TRS信号。
在上述第二种实现方式中,通信装置通过第一TRP向终端设备发送第一下行信号,包括:基带单元生成基带信号,并将基带信号发送给第一TRP。第一TRP将基带信号转化成频率为f的射频信号,向终端设备发送射频信号。其中,频率f是网络设备20和终端设备协商好的发送频率。
在上述第一种实现方式中,通信装置通过第一TRP向终端设备发送第一下行信号,包括:通信装置的基带单元生成基带信号,并将基带信号发送给通信装置包括的第一TRP。第一TRP将基带信号转化成频率为f的射频信号,向终端设备发送射频信号。
902、终端设备根据所述第一下行信号的接收频率发送第一上行信号。
具体实现中,第一下行信号在传输过程中发生频率偏移,终端设备接收的信号较第一TRP发送第一下行信号的频率发生了偏移,终端设备可以根据偏移后的频率接收到第一下行信号,并锁频在偏移后的频率,还可以根据锁频后的频率发送第一上行信号,即所述终端设备处所述第一上行信号的发送频率为所述终端设备处所述第一下行信号的接收频率。
或者,可选的,终端设备可以在偏移后的频率接收到第一下行信号,可以根据接收频率得到一个新的频率,进而锁频在新的频率上,以新的频率发送第一上行信号。例如,终端设备可以在接收频率的基础上,加一偏移值,得到新的频率。
903、通信装置通过所述第一TRP从所述终端设备接收第一上行信号,所述第一TRP处所述第一上行信号的接收频率为第一接收频率。
具体地,第一上行信号在传输过程中也会发生多普勒效应,第一TRP处第一上行信号的接收频率较第一上行信号的发送频率发生了偏移,即第一TRP与终端设备之间存在上行频偏。
需要说明的是,第一TRP与终端设备之间的上行频偏、第一TRP与终端设备之间的下行频偏可以相同。可选的,第一TRP与终端设备之间的上行频偏、第一TRP与终端设备之间的下行频偏也可以不同。具体地,上行频偏=k*下行频偏,其中,k是小于等于1的正数。
示例的,第一下行信号的发送频率为f,传输过程中第一下行信号的频率发生偏移,终端设备处第一下行信号的接收频率为f+△f 1。终端设备还可以锁频在f+△f 1,根据f+△f 1发送第一上行信号,传输过程中第一上行信号的频率发生偏移,第一TRP处第一上行信号的接收频率为f+2△f 1。其中,△f 1为终端设备与第一TRP之间的频偏(上行频偏或下行频偏),△f 1为正值。
904、通信装置通过第二TRP从所述终端设备接收所述第一上行信号,所述第二TRP处所述第一上行信号的接收频率为第二接收频率。
具体实现中,第一上行信号在传输至第二TRP的过程中也会发生多普勒效应,第二TRP处第一上行信号的接收频率较第一上行信号的发送频率也发生了偏移,即第二TRP与终端设备之间也存在上行频偏。
需要说明的是,终端设备与第一TRP之间的上行频偏、终端设备与第二TRP之间的上行频偏一个是正值、一个是负值。二者的绝对值可以相同也可以不同。
示例的,第一下行信号的发送频率为f,第一下行信号在终端设备的接收频率为f+△f 1,的频率接收到第一下行信号。终端设备还可以锁频在f+△f 1,根据f+△f 1发送第一上行信号,第二TRP处第一上行信号的接收频率为f+△f 1-△f 2。其中,-△f 2是终端设备与第二TRP之间的上行频偏或下行频偏,-△f 2为负值。
905、通信装置通过所述第二TRP发送第二下行信号,通过所述第一TRP向所述终端设备发送第三下行信号。
其中,所述第二TRP处所述第二下行信号的发送频率减去所述第一TRP处所述第三下行信号的发送频率的值等于△f/k,所述△f为所述第一接收频率减去所述第二接收频率的值相等,所述k上行中心频率和下行中心频率的比率。具体可以通过第一TRP和第二TRP中的一个或者两个进行预纠偏实现。
需要说明的是,终端设备与第一TRP之间的上行频偏、终端设备与第一TRP之间的下行频偏可以是相同的,终端设备与第二TRP之间的上行频偏、终端设备与第二TRP之间的下行频偏也可以是相同的,因此可以认为第一接收频率与第二接收频率的差值等于所述第二TRP处所述第二下行信号的发送频率减去所述第一TRP处所述第三下行信号的发送频率的值。基于此,可以根据所述第一接收频率和所述第二接收频率的差值调整第一TRP处第三下行信号的发送频率,以及第二TRP处第二下行信号的发送频率,使得终端设备处第三下行信号的接收频率、终端设备处第二下行信号的接收频率均相同,保证终端设备与第一TRP、第二TRP能够正常进行通信。通过单个TRP发送下行信号来纠正频偏,节省导频开销的同时避免终端设备处来自不同TRP的下行信号叠加干扰,保证终端侧精准锁频,从而实现网络侧准确的预纠偏。
示例的,上行频偏=k*下行频偏,通过第一TRP发送第一下行信号的频率为f,终端设备接收第一下行信号的频率为f+△f 1,发送第一上行信号的频率为f+△f 1。第一TRP接收第一上行信号的频率为f+△f 1+k*△f 1,第二TRP接收第一上行信号的频率为f+△f 1-k*△f 2,第一接收频率与第二接收频率的差值等于k*(△f 1+△f 2),第一接收频率与第二接收频率的差值可以认为是第一TRP和第二TRP的上行频偏的差值。
其中,△f 1为第一TRP与终端设备之间的下行频偏,-△f 2是第二TRP与终端设备之间的下行频偏,第一TRP和第二TRP的下行频偏的差值为△f 1+△f 2
可见,当k=1时,第一TRP和第二TRP的上行频偏的差值、第一TRP和第二TRP的下行频偏的差值是相等的,第一接收频率与第二接收频率的差值既可以表示第一TRP和第二TRP的上行频偏的差值,还可以表示第一TRP和第二TRP的下行频偏的差值。为了实现网络侧的预纠偏,第二下行信号的发送频率和第三下行信号的发送频率的差值,与第一接收频率与第二接收频率的差值相同。
当k≠1时,第一TRP和第二TRP的上行频偏的差值、第一TRP和第二TRP的下行频偏的差值是不相等的,第一接收频率与第二接收频率的差值可以表示第一TRP和第二TRP的上行频偏的差值,第一TRP和第二TRP的下行频偏的差值为:△f/k。其中,△f为第一接收频率与第二接收频率的差值,△f为正值。为了实现网络侧的预纠偏,第二下行信号的发送频率和第三下行信号的发送频率的差值为:△f/k。
具体实现中,通信装置根据第一接收频率、第二接收频率的差值进行预纠偏时,可以对第一TRP的发送频率不作调整,因此,所述第一TRP处所述第三下行信号的发送频率和所述第一TRP处所述第一下行信号的发送频率相等,均是f+△f。
然后,可以根据所述第一接收频率减去所述第二接收频率的值,确定所述第二TRP处所述第二下行信号的发送频率。示例的,所述第一TRP处所述第一下行信号的发送频率和所述第一TRP处所述第三下行信号的发送频率均为f,所述第一接收频率减去所述第二接收频率的值为△f,所述第二TRP处所述第二下行信号的发送频率为f+△f/k。其中,k是预配置的参数,可以是小于等于1的正数。
具体实现中,通信装置可以通过以下两种方式进行预纠偏,包括:
第一种、对第一TRP的发送频率不作调整,通信装置的基带单元向第二TRP发送第一接收频率减去第二接收频率的值,使得第二TRP根据这个值调整发送频率。
示例的,当向所述第二TRP发送△f,所述第二TRP在频率f的基础上调整发送频率,调整后第二TRP处的下行发送频率为f+△f/k。例如,本申请实施例所述的第二下行信号的发送频率为f+△f/k。
具体地,所述第二TRP可以包括RRU和天线组。向RRU发送△f,使得RRU通过天线组在频率f+△f/k发送第二下行信号,以实现通过第二TRP发送第二下行信号。
第二种、对第一TRP的发送频率不作调整,通信装置的基带单元根据第一接收频率减去第二接收频率的值调整基带信号的发送频率,向第一TRP、第二TRP发送的基带信号的发送频率的差值与第一接收频率减去第二接收频率的值相关,第一TRP、第二TRP可以接收基带单元发送的基带信号后只需要将基带信号转化成射频信号,可以不进行频率调整,就可以保证第二TRP的下行发送频率减去第一TRP的下行发送频率的差值,与第一接收频率减去第二接收频率的差值相等。
示例的,基带单元向所述第一TRP发送第三基带信号,所述第三基带信号用于所述第一TRP向所述终端设备发送所述第三下行信号,例如,第一TRP可以将第三基带信号转化成射频信号,即所述第三下行信号,以便向终端设备发送所述第三下行信号。
基带单元向所述第二TRP发送第二基带信号,所述第二基带信号用于所述第二TRP向所述终端设备发送所述第二下行信号;例如,第二TRP可以将第二基带信号转化成射频信号,即所述第二下行信号,以便向终端设备发送所述第二下行信号。
其中,所述第二基带信号的发送频率减去所述第三基带信号的发送频率的值等于△f/k,其中,△f为所述第二接收频率减去所述第一接收频率的值。
可选的,通信装置根据第一接收频率、第二接收频率的差值进行预纠偏时,可以对第一TRP、第二TRP的发送频率进行调整。因此,所述第一TRP处所述第三下行信号的发送频率和所述第一TRP处所述第一下行信号的发送频率不相等。
具体地,通信装置(或通信装置的基带处理单元)可以根据所述第一接收频率减去所述第二接收频率的值,确定所述第二TRP处所述第二下行信号的发送频率和所述第一TRP处所述第三下行信号的发送频率。
示例的,所述第一TRP处所述第一下行信号的发送频率为f,所述第一接收频率与所述第二接收频率的差值为△f 2,所述第三下行信号的发送频率为f+△f 1,所述第二下行信号的发送频率为f+△f 1+△f 2;其中,△f 1为频率调整因子。
可选的,所述通信装置还可以向所述第一TRP发送△f 1,使得第一TRP发送第三下行信号的频率为f+△f 1。所述通信装置还可以向所述第二TRP发送△f 1+△f 2,使得第二TRP发送第二下行信号的频率为f+△f 1+△f 2
具体的,当通信装置为基带单元,基带单元向第一TRP发送△f 1,向所述第二TRP发送△f 1+△f 2。当通信装置为网络设备,网络设备的基带单元向第一TRP发送△f 1,向所述第二TRP发送△f 1+△f 2
以下结合具体示例,详细介绍本申请实施例所述的方法。具体地,UE位于相邻两 个抱杆之间,这两个抱杆上部署了两个TRP,这两个TRP接于同一个BBU。将UE靠近的TRP称为服务TRP,另外一个TRP称为协作TRP。参考服务TRP对协作TRP的发送频率进行调整,实现了网络侧的预纠偏。如图10所示,所述方法包括以下步骤:
1001、服务TRP根据频率f发送TRS。
1002、UE根据频率(f+△f 1)接收到TRS,并锁频在(f+△f 1)上。
其中,△f 1是UE与服务TRP之间的下行频偏。
1003、UE根据频率(f+△f 1)发送上行信号。
1004、服务TRP接收UE发送的上行信号,向BBU发送服务TRP的接收频率x=f+2△f 1
需要说明的是,假设UE与服务TRP之间的上行频偏、UE与服务TRP之间的下行频偏相等,因此,服务TRP的接收频率比UE的发送频率(f+△f 1)多了△f 1,即服务TRP的接收频率x=f+2△f 1。其中,服务TRP的接收频率x即本申请实施例所述的第一接收频率。
1005、协作TRP接收UE发送的上行信号,向BBU发送协作TRP的接收频率y=f+△f 1-△f 2
需要说明的是,UE与协作TRP之间的上行频偏、UE与服务TRP之间的上行频偏假一个为正值,一个为负值。UE与服务TRP之间的上行频偏为△f 1,因此UE与协作TRP之间的上行频偏可以是-△f 2。因此,协作TRP的接收频率比UE的发送频率(f+△f 1)多了(-△f 2),即协作TRP的接收频率y=f+△f 1-△f 2。其中,协作TRP的接收频率y即本申请实施例所述的第二接收频率。
1006、BBU计算服务TRP的接收频率与协作TRP的接收频率的差值,即x-y=△f1+△f2。
其中,x-y即本申请实施例所述的第一接收频率减去第二接收频率的值。
1007、BBU向协作TRP发送x-y的值。
1008、服务TRP根据频率f发送下行信号,UE处以频率(f+△f1)接收服务TRP发送的下行信号。
需要说明的是,UE的接收频率与UE锁频一致,保证UE和服务TRP的正常通信。
1009、协作TRP根据频率(f+△f1+f2)发送下行信号,UE实际接收信号频率为f+△f1,与UE锁频一致。
需要说明的是,UE的接收频率与UE锁频一致,保证UE和协作TRP的正常通信。
本申请实施例还提供一种信号频率调整方法,适用于图4所示的组网。需要说明的是,图11中第一TRP和第二TRP可以向不同的区域或者方向的终端设备提供通信服务。通信装置可以包括或者不包括第一TRP或者第二TRP,下面结合两种实现方式进行说明:
作为第一种实现方式,通信装置包括第一TRP和第二TRP,此时通信装置可以包括基带单元、射频单元和天线组,第一TRP和第二TRP可以是通信装置中的射频单元和/或者天线,或者可以是通信装置中逻辑实体。
例如,图11中的第一TRP可以是图4中的TRP 5,第二TRP可以是图4中的TRP 6,即第一TRP、第二TRP连接不同的BBU,是不同基站的收发点。图11中的第一 通信装置可以是图4所示组网中的网络设备22,例如通信装置包括BBU 221、TRP 5;第二通信装置可以是图4所示组网中的网络设备23,包括BBU 231和TRP6。也就是说,通信装置包括TRP。
作为第二种实现方式,通信装置不包括第一TRP和第二TRP,此时通信装置可以是基带单元,第一TRP和第二TRP可以是射频单元和/或者天线,第一TRP和第二TRP均与基带单元连接。
例如,图11中的第一TRP可以是图4中的TRP 5,第二TRP可以是图4中的TRP 6,即第一TRP、第二TRP共用同一个BBU,是同一个基站的不同收发点。图11中的第一通信装置可以是图4所示组网中的BBU 221;第二通信装置可以是图4所示组网中的BBU 231。也就是说通信装置不包括TRP。
需要说明的是,图11中的第一TRP可以是图4中的TRP 5,第二TRP可以是图4中的TRP 6,即第一TRP、第二TRP连接不同的BBU,是不同基站的收发点。如图9所示,所述方法包括以下步骤:
1101、第一通信装置通过第一TRP向终端设备发送第一下行信号。
需要说明的是,第一下行信号可以是TRS信号。在图3所示的组网场景下,当终端设备位于相邻两个抱杆之间,终端设备与这两个抱杆上部署的TRP之间均存在频偏。示例的,本申请实施例所述的第一TRP、第二TRP部署在相邻的抱杆上。第一TRP和第二TRP接于不同的基带单元,终端设备位于第一TRP和第二TRP之间时,终端设备与第一TRP和第二TRP之间均存在频偏。第一TRP是距离终端设备更近的TRP,第一TRP还可以称为服务TRP,第二TRP还可以称为协作TRP。需要说明的是,TRP与终端设备的距离可以是TRP包括的天线组与终端设备的距离。
1102、终端设备根据所述第一下行信号的接收频率发送第一上行信号。
具体实现中,第一下行信号在传输过程中发生频率偏移,终端设备接收的信号较第一TRP发送第一下行信号的频率发生了偏移,终端设备可以根据偏移后的频率接收到第一下行信号,并锁频在偏移后的频率,还可以根据锁频后的频率发送第一上行信号,即所述终端设备处所述第一上行信号的发送频率为所述终端设备处所述第一下行信号的接收频率。
1103、第一通信装置通过所述第一TRP从所述终端设备接收第一上行信号,所述第一TRP处所述第一上行信号的接收频率为第一接收频率。
具体实现中,第一上行信号在传输过程中也会发生多普勒效应,第一TRP处第一上行信号的接收频率较第一上行信号的发送频率发生了偏移,即第一TRP与终端设备之间存在上行频偏。
需要说明的是,第一TRP与终端设备之间的上行频偏、第一TRP与终端设备之间的下行频偏可以相同。可选的,第一TRP与终端设备之间的上行频偏、第一TRP与终端设备之间的下行频偏也可以不同。具体地,上行频偏=k*下行频偏,其中,k是小于等于1的正数。
示例的,第一下行信号的发送频率为f,传输过程中第一下行信号的频率发生偏移,终端设备处第一下行信号的接收频率为f+△f 1。终端设备还可以锁频在f+△f 1,根据 f+△f 1发送第一上行信号,传输过程中第一上行信号的频率发生偏移,第一TRP处第一上行信号的接收频率为f+2△f 1。其中,△f 1为终端设备与第一TRP之间的频偏(上行频偏或下行频偏),△f 1为正值。
1104、第二通信装置通过所述第二TRP从所述终端设备接收第一上行信号,所述第二TRP处所述第一上行信号的接收频率为第二接收频率。
具体实现中,第一上行信号在传输至第二TRP的过程中也会发生多普勒效应,第二TRP处第一上行信号的接收频率较第一上行信号的发送频率也发生了偏移,即第二TRP与终端设备之间也存在上行频偏。
需要说明的是,终端设备与第一TRP之间的上行频偏、终端设备与第二TRP之间的上行频偏一个是正值、一个是负值。二者的绝对值可以相同也可以不同。
示例的,第一下行信号的发送频率为f,第一下行信号在终端设备的接收频率为f+△f 1,的频率接收到第一下行信号。终端设备还可以锁频在f+△f 1,根据f+△f 1发送第一上行信号,第二TRP处第一上行信号的接收频率为f+△f 1-△f 2。其中,-△f 2是终端设备与第二TRP之间的上行频偏或下行频偏,-△f 2为负值。
1105、第二通信装置从第一通信装置接收所述第一接收频率。
具体实现中,第二通信装置从第一通信装置接收第一接收频率后,可以计算获得第一接收频率减去第二接收频率的值,从而可以根据这个值进行预纠偏,调整第二TRP发送下行信号的频率。
1105仅仅是一种实现方式,第一TRP处不进行预纠偏,第一TRP仍然以1101处的发送频率发送第三下行信号,在第二TRP处根据第二接收频率和第三接收频率的差值进行预纠偏。在另一种实现方式中,第一通信装置先向第二通信装置发送第一接收频率,然后第二通信装置可以将第二接收频率(或者第二接收频率和第一接收频率的差值)发送给第一通信装置,使得第一TRP处和第二TRP处都根据第二接收频率和第三接收频率的差值进行预纠偏。或者,在另一种实现方式中,第二通信装置先将第二接收频率发送给第一通信装置,然后第一通信装置根据第二接收频率和第一接收频率的差值进行预纠偏。或者,在另一种实现方式中,第二通信装置先向第一通信装置发送第二接收频率,然后第一通信装置可以将第一接收频率(或者第二接收频率和第一接收频率的差值)发送给第二通信装置,使得第一TRP处和第二TRP处都根据第二接收频率和第三接收频率的差值进行预纠偏。
1106、第二通信装置通过所述第二TRP发送第二下行信号。
1107、第一通信装置通过所述第一TRP向所述终端设备发送第三下行信号。
其中,所述第二TRP处所述第二下行信号的发送频率减去所述第一TRP处所述第三下行信号的发送频率的值等于△f/k,所述△f为所述第一接收频率减去所述第二接收频率的值相等,所述k上行中心频率和下行中心频率的比率。
第一TRP所述第二TRP处所述第二下行信号的发送频率减去所述第一TRP处所述第三下行信号的发送频率的值等于△f/k,可以通过第一TRP和第二TRP中的一个或者两个进行预纠偏实现,具体可以参考1105的相关内容。
需要说明的是,终端设备与第一TRP之间的上行频偏、终端设备与第一TRP之间的下行频偏可以是相同的,终端设备与第二TRP之间的上行频偏、终端设备与第二 TRP之间的下行频偏也可以是相同的,因此可以认为第一接收频率与第二接收频率的差值等于所述第二TRP处所述第二下行信号的发送频率减去所述第一TRP处所述第三下行信号的发送频率的值。基于此,可以根据所述第一接收频率和所述第二接收频率的差值调整第一TRP处第三下行信号的发送频率,以及第二TRP处第二下行信号的发送频率,使得终端设备处第三下行信号的接收频率、终端设备处第二下行信号的接收频率均相同,保证终端设备与第一TRP、第二TRP能够正常进行通信。通过单个TRP发送下行信号来纠正频偏,节省导频开销的同时避免终端设备处来自不同TRP的下行信号叠加干扰,保证终端侧精准锁频,从而实现网络侧准确的预纠偏。
示例的,上行频偏=k*下行频偏,通过第一TRP发送第一下行信号的频率为f,终端设备接收第一下行信号的频率为f+△f 1,发送第一上行信号的频率为f+△f 1。第一TRP接收第一上行信号的频率为f+△f 1+k*△f 1,第二TRP接收第一上行信号的频率为f+△f 1-k*△f 2,第一接收频率与第二接收频率的差值等于k*(△f 1+△f 2),第一接收频率与第二接收频率的差值可以认为是第一TRP和第二TRP的上行频偏的差值。
其中,△f 1为第一TRP与终端设备之间的下行频偏,-△f 2是第二TRP与终端设备之间的下行频偏,第一TRP和第二TRP的下行频偏的差值为△f 1+△f 2
可见,当k=1时,第一TRP和第二TRP的上行频偏的差值、第一TRP和第二TRP的下行频偏的差值是相等的,第一接收频率与第二接收频率的差值既可以表示第一TRP和第二TRP的上行频偏的差值,还可以表示第一TRP和第二TRP的下行频偏的差值。为了实现网络侧的预纠偏,第二下行信号的发送频率和第三下行信号的发送频率的差值,与第一接收频率与第二接收频率的差值相同。
当k≠1时,第一TRP和第二TRP的上行频偏的差值、第一TRP和第二TRP的下行频偏的差值是不相等的,第一接收频率与第二接收频率的差值可以表示第一TRP和第二TRP的上行频偏的差值,第一TRP和第二TRP的下行频偏的差值为:△f/k。其中,△f为第一接收频率与第二接收频率的差值,△f为正值。为了实现网络侧的预纠偏,第二下行信号的发送频率和第三下行信号的发送频率的差值为:△f/k。
具体实现中,根据第一接收频率、第二接收频率的差值进行预纠偏时,可以对第一TRP的发送频率不作调整,因此,所述第一TRP处所述第三下行信号的发送频率和所述第一TRP处所述第一下行信号的发送频率相等,可以是f+△f。
然后,可以根据所述第一接收频率减去所述第二接收频率的值,确定所述第二TRP处所述第二下行信号的发送频率。示例的,所述第一TRP处所述第一下行信号的发送频率和所述第一TRP处所述第三下行信号的发送频率均为f,所述第一接收频率减去所述第二接收频率的值为△f,所述第二TRP处所述第二下行信号的发送频率为f+△f/k。其中,k是预配置的参数,可以是小于等于1的正数。
具体实现中,可以通过以下两种方式进行预纠偏,包括:
第一种、对第一TRP的发送频率不作调整,第二通信装置的第二基带单元向第二TRP发送第一接收频率减去第二接收频率的值,使得第二TRP根据这个值调整发送频率。
示例的,当向所述第二TRP发送△f,所述第二TRP在频率f的基础上调整发送频率,调整后第二TRP处的下行发送频率为f+△f/k。例如,本申请实施例所述的第二下 行信号的发送频率为f+△f/k。
具体地,所述第二TRP可以包括RRU和天线组。向RRU发送△f,使得RRU通过天线组在频率f+△f/k发送第二下行信号,以实现通过第二TRP发送第二下行信号。
第二种、对第一TRP的发送频率不作调整,第二通信装置的第二基带单元根据第一接收频率减去第二接收频率的值调整基带信号的发送频率,使得第一通信装置的第一基带单元向第一TRP发送的基带信号的发送频率、第二通信装置向第二TRP发送的基带信号的发送频率二者的差值,与第一接收频率减去第二接收频率的值相关,第一TRP、第二TRP从各自连接的基带单元接收基带信号后只需要将基带信号转化成射频信号,可以不进行频率调整,就可以保证第二TRP的下行发送频率减去第一TRP的下行发送频率的差值,与第一接收频率减去第二接收频率的差值相等。
示例的,第一基带单元向所述第一TRP发送第三基带信号,所述第三基带信号用于所述第一TRP向所述终端设备发送所述第三下行信号,例如,第一TRP可以将第三基带信号转化成射频信号,即所述第三下行信号,以便向终端设备发送所述第三下行信号。
第二基带单元向所述第二TRP发送第二基带信号,所述第二基带信号用于所述第二TRP向所述终端设备发送所述第二下行信号;例如,第二TRP可以将第二基带信号转化成射频信号,即所述第二下行信号,以便向终端设备发送所述第二下行信号。
其中,所述第二基带信号的发送频率减去所述第三基带信号的发送频率的值等于△f/k,其中,△f为所述第二接收频率减去所述第一接收频率的值。
