Description

一种通信的方法及装置 技术领域
本申请实施例涉及无线通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种通信的方法及装置。
背景技术
近年来,海量终端发起随机接入或进行数据传输时,接入设备识别终端身份的方式是:给每个终端预先配置一个序列,例如前导码preamble。终端因业务需求被激活时,可以在特定的资源上发送预先配置的序列,接入设备通过序列识别终端的身份。理论上,接入设备利用同一块资源要识别的终端越多,则为终端配置的序列的长度需要越长。
由于接入设备在终端活跃前无法感知活跃终端的数量,为保障终端身份识别的准确性,接入设备通常给终端配置足够长度的序列,则也需要预留足够多的资源来发送、接收该序列。这样,占用网络的资源较多,使得通信系统的资源开销较大,并且发送较长的序列使得终端功耗较大。
发明内容
本申请提供一种通信的方法及装置,用以解决接入设备在进行终端身份识别时,资源开销大且终端功耗大的问题。
第一方面,提供一种通信的方法,该方法包括:首先,接入设备接收第一簇内的终端发送的第一序列。然后所述接入设备向所述第一簇内的终端发送序列长度,所述序列长度根据n确定,所述n为所述接入设备接收到的所述第一序列的数量,这些第一序列均来自所述第一簇内的终端所发送的,所述n为大于0的整数。进而,所述接入设备接收所述序列长度的第二序列,所述第二序列用于识别所述第一簇内发送所述第二序列的终端的身份。
在该实施例中,接入设备接收到的第一序列的数量n可以代表活跃终端的数量,接入设备先感知第一簇内的活跃终端的数量n,并将根据活跃终端的数量n确定的序列长度,这样终端就可以发送对应序列长度的第二序列给接入设备,以便于识别终端的身份。由于序列长度是根据活跃终端的数量n确定的,所以该序列长度是符合终端身份识别的较优长度,进而可以实现在接收、发送用于识别终端身份的第二序列时,合理地利用网络的资源,避免通信系统的资源开销过大,也避免了终端发送较长的序列使得终端功耗较大。
在一种可能的实现中,所述第一簇内的不同终端发送的第二序列不同。不同的第二序列对应不同的终端,则接入设备可以通过不同的第二序列,识别第一簇内的发送第二序列的终端的身份。或者,所述第一簇内的不同终端发送的第二序列也可以相同,第一簇内的不同终端可以在不同的资源上发送第二序列,这样接入设备可以通过接收第二序列的资源,识别第一簇内的发送第二序列的终端的身份。

具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本申请实施例进行详细描述。
为便于理解本申请实施例的技术方案,下面将对本申请实施例提供的通信的方法的系统架构进行简要说明。可理解的,本申请实施例描述的系统架构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。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:无线局域网(wireless local area network,WLAN)通信系统,长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统、LTE频分双工(frequency division duplex,FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(time division duplex,TDD)、通用移动通信系统(universal mobile telecommunication system,UMTS)、全球互联微波接入(worldwide interoperability for microwave access,WiMAX)通信系统、第五代(5th generation,5G)系统或新无线(new radio,NR),以及未来通信系统等。
为便于理解本申请实施例,接下来对本请的应用场景进行介绍,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。
随着物联网等技术的发展,在家庭、工业、公共场所等各应用场景中,终端逐渐呈现大数量、密集化、多形态等特征。例如,一种工业自动化场景中,一个厂房中存在很多监控设备(camera)、生产机器(machine)和传感器(sensor),也可能同时存在工作人员使用的手机和穿戴式设备等终端。运营商受各种条件限制,铺设的接入设备的数量有限,存在一个接入设备覆盖海量终端的情况。
海量终端发起随机接入或进行数据传输时,接入设备识别终端身份的方式是:给每个终端预先配置一个序列,例如前导码preamble。终端因业务需求被激活时,可以在特定的资源上发送预先配置的序列,接入设备通过序列识别终端的身份。理论上,接入设备利用同一块资源要识别的终端越多,则为终端配置的序列的长度需要越长。
由于接入设备在终端被激活前无法感知活跃终端的数量,为保障终端身份识别的准确 性,接入设备通常给终端配置足够长度的序列,则也需要预留足够多的资源来发送、接收该序列。这样,占用网络的资源较多,使得通信系统的资源开销较大,并且发送较长的序列使得终端功耗较大。
为了解决该问题,如图1所示的通信系统,包括接入设备和终端,可以将多个终端分成若干个簇。在无线通信系统中,接入设备和终端间可以利用空口资源进行无线通信。空口资源可以包括时域资源、频域资源、码域资源和空域资源中一个或多个。
一个簇内的终端可以在同一资源上发送用于终端身份识别的序列,不同的簇占用不同的资源。这样,由于分簇后使用一个资源的终端数量减少,相应的,用于终端身份识别的序列的长度也可以相应的缩短。
虽然对终端分簇后,可以减小一部分资源开销和终端功耗,但不可避免的,接入设备仍然不感知一个簇内的活跃终端的数量,还是会存在给终端配置较长的用于终端身份识别的序列,而导致占用网络的资源较多,使得通信系统的资源开销较大,且终端功耗较大的问题。
基于此,本申请提出了一种发送两次序列的通信方法,第一序列用于确定活跃终端的数量,第二序列用于识别活跃终端的身份。此处的第一序列与第二序列表示两个不同阶段发送的序列。第一序列对应第一个阶段,第二序列对应第二个阶段。在第一个阶段,一个簇内的不同终端均向接入设备发送第一序列,接入设备根据接收到的第一序列的数量,确定序列长度,并将序列长度发送给簇内的终端。第二个阶段,一个簇内的不同终端发送所述序列长度的第二序列,用于终端身份识别。这样,确定出的序列长度是符合终端身份识别的较优长度,则可以实现合理地利用资源,避免资源开销过大,也避免了终端发送较长的序列使得终端功耗较大的问题。
为便于理解本申请实施例,以下对本申请实施例的部分用语进行解释说明,以便于本领域技术人员理解。
1)、接入设备,具有能够为终端设备提供随机接入功能的设备或可设置于该设备的芯片,该设备包括但不限于:演进型节点B(evolved Node B,eNB)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller,RNC)、节点B(Node B,NB)、基站控制器(base station controller,BSC)、基站收发台(base transceiver station,BTS)、家庭基站(例如,home evolved NodeB,或home Node B,HNB)、基带单元(baseband unit,BBU),无线保真(wireless fidelity,WIFI)系统中的接入点(access point,AP)、无线中继节点、无线回传节点、传输点(transmission and reception point,TRP或者transmission point,TP)等,还可以为5G,如,NR,系统中的gNB,或,传输点(TRP或TP),5G系统中的基站的一个或一组(包括多个天线面板)天线面板,或者,还可以为构成gNB或传输点的网络节点,如基带单元(BBU),或,分布式单元(DU,distributed unit)等。
2)终端设备,又称之为用户设备(user equipment,UE)、移动台(mobile station,MS)、移动终端(mobile terminal,MT)、终端等,是一种向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备。例如,终端设备包括具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、车载设备等。目前,终端设备可以是:手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、掌上电脑、移动互联网设备(mobile internet device,MID)、可穿戴设备,虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)设备、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端(例如,传感器等)、无人驾驶(self-driving)中的无线终端、远程手术(remote medical surgery) 中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端,或智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端,或具有车与车(Vehicle-to-Vehicle,V2V)公共的无线终端等。
接下来将结合附图对方案进行详细介绍。附图中以虚线标识的特征或内容可理解为本申请实施例的可选操作或者可选结构。
图2提供了一种通信的过程示意图,以第一簇为例,进行说明,第一簇为任一簇。具体包括以下步骤:
步骤201:第一终端向接入设备发送第一序列;相应的,接入设备接收第一终端发送的第一序列。所述第一终端位于第一簇内,所述第一终端为第一簇内的任一终端。
可选的,所述第一簇内的其它终端也可以向接入设备发送第一序列,则接入设备接收第一簇内的其它终端发送的第一序列。
步骤202:所述接入设备根据接收到的所述第一序列的数量n,确定序列长度。此处的第一序列为第一簇内的终端所发送的序列。
所述第一序列的数量可以代表第一簇内的活跃终端的数量,所述第一序列可以用于确定序列长度。
步骤203:所述接入设备向所述第一终端发送序列长度,相应的,所述第一终端接收来自所述接入设备的序列长度。
可选的,接入设备还可以向第一簇内的其它终端发送序列长度。所述序列长度根据n确定,所述n为所述接入设备接收到的所述第一序列的数量,所述n为大于0的整数。
步骤204:所述第一终端向接入设备发送所述序列长度的第二序列,相应的,所述接入设备接收所述序列长度的第二序列,所述第二序列用于识别所述第一簇内发送所述第二序列的终端的身份。
步骤205:所述接入设备根据所述第二序列,识别发送所述第二序列的终端的身份,也就是识别第一终端的身份。
在该实施例中,接入设备接收到的第一序列的数量n可以代表第一簇内的活跃终端的数量,接入设备先感知第一簇内的活跃终端的数量n,并将根据活跃终端的数量n确定的序列长度,这样第一簇内的任一终端就可以发送对应序列长度的第二序列给接入设备,以便于识别终端的身份。由于序列长度是根据活跃终端的数量n确定的,所以该序列长度是符合终端身份识别的较优长度,进而可以实现在接收、发送用于识别终端身份的第二序列时,合理地利用网络的资源,避免通信系统的资源开销过大,也避免了终端发送较长的序列使得终端功耗较大。
以上以第一簇为例,介绍了终端与接入设备之间的通信过程。接下来再结合多个簇,例如第二簇,第三簇等,详细介绍一下终端与接入设备之间的通信过程。在该通信过程中,接入设备不但向终端发送序列长度,还可以向终端发送用于确定第一序列、第二序列的信息,以及用于发送第一序列和第二序列的资源的信息等,还介绍了划分簇的方式。具体参见图3所示的通信过程,包括以下步骤:
步骤31:接入设备对终端进行分簇。
具体的,接入设备可以对覆盖范围内的终端进行分簇。可选的,这些终端处于连接态,或者接入设备知道待分簇的各个终端的信息,例如身份信息和位置信息。
在一种示例中,接入设备根据终端与该接入设备之间的时延,对终端划分簇。位于一 个簇内的终端分别与接入设备的时延相同或相近,这样,一个簇内各终端向接入设备发送第一序列的时域符号基本对齐。如图4所示,9个UE分成3个簇,其中UE-1、UE-2、UE-3位于第一簇内,UE-4、UE-5、UE-6位于第二簇内,UE-7、UE-8、UE-9位于第三簇内。一个簇内的终端分别与接入设备的距离相同或相近。任一簇i(i=1,2,3)中的多个终端,若同时向接入设备发送相同的波形,可以认为接入设备在接收时域上是近似重合的。
以第一簇为例,例如,第一簇内的终端分别与所述接入设备的时延,之间的差值小于或等于设定阈值。如图4所示,UE-1与接入设备的时延为t1,UE-2与接入设备的时延为t2,UE-3与接入设备的时延为t3。t1、t2和t3之间相同或相近。例如,t1与t2的差值,t1与t3的差值,以及t2与t3的差值,这三个差值均小于或等于设定阈值。该设定阈值接近0,可以是微秒级别的、非常小的时长。
再例如,第一终端与接入设备的时延,与时延平均值的差值绝对值小于或等于设定阈值,第二终端与接入设备的时延,与时延平均值的差值绝对值小于或等于设定阈值,第一终端与第二终端位于第一簇内,所述时延平均值为所述第一簇内的终端分别与所述接入设备的时延的平均值。例如,t1与t2与t3的平均值为T,t1与T的差值,t2与T的差值,t3与T的差值,这三个差值均小于或等于设定阈值。该设定阈值接近0,可以是毫秒级别的、非常小的时长。
步骤32:接入设备向同一簇内的终端分配相同的第一序列,向不同簇内的终端分配不同的第一序列。
参见表1所示,介绍了接入设备给各个簇内的各个终端分配第一序列,以及发送第一序列的第一资源。前面介绍过,第一序列对应第一阶段,第二序列对应第二阶段。同理,第一资源为第一阶段分配的资源,第一资源用于发送第一序列,第二资源为第二阶段分配的资源,第二资源用于发送第二序列(分配第二资源的详细内容后续介绍)。在一实施例中,第一阶段分配的第一资源也可以称为第一级物理随机接入信道时机(physical random access channel occasion,RO),第二阶段分配的第二资源也可以称为第二级RO。
表1:接入设备给各终端分配第一序列及第一资源
终端 第一序列 第一资源
第一簇内的终端 Preamble-1 时频资源11
第二簇内的终端 Preamble-2 时频资源11或12
第三簇内的终端 Preamble-3 时频资源11或13
接入设备向同一簇内的不同终端分配的第一序列相同,向不同簇内的终端分配的第一序列可以不同。如表1所示,分为三个簇,分别为第一簇,第二簇,第三簇。为第一簇内的终端分配的第一序列均为preamble-1;为第二簇内的不同终端分配的第一序列均为preamble-2,为第三簇内的不同终端分配的第一序列均为preamble-3。preamble-1、preamble-2、preamble-3各不相同。在另外的实施例中,接入设备向不同簇内的终端分配的第一序列也可以相同,但是,不同簇内的终端用于发送第一序列的资源不同。在又一实施例中,接入设备向不同簇内的终端分配不同的序列组,不同的序列组之间没有相同的序列,簇内的终端在其分配的序列组内确定使用的序列。
接入设备在向同一簇内的终端分配相同的第一序列时,示例的,接入设备可以向所述第一簇内的终端发送第三配置信息,相应的,所述终端接收来自接入设备的第三配置信息,所述第三配置信息包括所述第一序列或生成所述第一序列的参数。接入设备可以向第一簇 内的所有终端配置相同的第一序列,或者配置相同的生成所述第一序列的参数,以便于第一簇内的所有终端向接入设备发送相同的第一序列。接入设备向第二簇和第三簇分配第一序列的方式,与向第一簇分配第一序列的方式相同,不再重复赘述。
此外,接入设备向同一簇内的不同终端分配的第一资源相同或不同,向不同簇内的终端分配的第一资源可以相同,也可以不同。如表1所示,接入设备分配给第一簇内的终端的第一资源为时频资源11,第一簇内的终端均可以在时频资源11上发送第一序列Preamble-1。接入设备分配给第二簇内的终端的第一资源也可以为时频资源11,第二簇内的终端均可以在时频资源11上发送第一序列Preamble-2。接入设备分配给第二簇内的终端的第一资源也可以为时频资源12,第二簇内的终端均可以在时频资源12上发送第一序列Preamble-2。接入设备分配给第三簇内的终端的第一资源可以为时频资源11、或时频资源13,第三簇内的终端均可以在时频资源11或时频资源13上发送第一序列Preamble-3。时频资源11、时频资源12和时频资源13各不相同。
接入设备在向同一簇内的终端分配相同的第一资源时,示例的,接入设备还可以向所述第一簇内的终端发送第一配置信息,相应的,所述终端接收来自接入设备的第一配置信息,第一配置信息包括第一资源的信息,所述第一资源用于所述第一簇内的所有终端发送所述第一序列。此处的第一资源可以是时域资源、频域资源、空域资源和码域资源中的一种或多种。接入设备向第二簇和第三簇分配第一资源的方式,与向第一簇分配第一资源的方式相同,不再重复赘述。
接入设备在向终端发送第三配置信息,来为终端配置第一序列时,可以包括但不限于采用以下方式中的任一种方式:
方式1:接入设备以广播的方式发送。各终端可以根据自身所在的簇,以及簇中的身份或标识或顺序,确定自身使用哪个第一序列或者使用哪个生成所述第一序列的参数。结合表1所示,例如当终端确定自身位于第一簇内时,可以确定自身使用preamble-1,当终端确定自身位于第二簇内时,可以确定自身使用preamble-2。
方式2:接入设备以组播的方式发送。例如,每个簇有一个簇级别的组播资源,组播资源可以包括簇内所有终端共用的控制资源集合(control resource set,CORESET)和搜索空间Search Space资源、共用的无线网络临时标识(radio network tempory identity,RNTI)等,接入设备可以在各簇的组播资源中组播该簇所用的第一序列或所用的生成所述第一序列的参数。
方式3:接入设备以单播的方式发送。也就是接入设备给每个终端单独发送该终端使用的第一序列或所使用的生成所述第一序列的参数。
同理,接入设备在向终端发送第一配置信息,来为终端配置第一资源时,也可以与第三配置信息类似,通过广播、组播或单播的方式配置,重复之处不再赘述。第一配置信息和第三配置信息可以被携带在发送给终端的同一条消息中,也可以在不同的消息中。
步骤33:同一簇内的终端向接入设备发送相同的第一序列,不同簇内的终端向接入设备发送不同的第一序列。
结合表1所示,第一簇内的不同终端发送的第一序列均为preamble-1;第二簇内的不同终端发送的第一序列均为preamble-2,第三簇内的不同终端发送的第一序列均为preamble-3。这样可以便于接入设备快速准确地确定出一个簇内的活跃终端的数量。
第一簇内的终端发送的第一序列可以是接入设备向第一簇发送的第三配置信息中所 包括第一序列,或者根据第三配置信息所包括的生成所述第一序列的参数生成的第一序列。第二簇和第三簇内的终端确定第一序列的方式与第一簇内的终端确定第一序列的方式相同,不再重复赘述。
同一簇内的终端在相同的第一资源上发送第一序列,不同簇内的终端在相同或不同的第一资源上发送第一序列。结合表1所示,第一簇内的终端均可以在时频资源11上发送第一序列Preamble-1。第二簇内的终端均可以在时频资源12上发送第一序列Preamble-2。第三簇内的终端均可以在时频资源13上发送第一序列Preamble-3。或者,第一簇内的终端、第二簇内的终端、第三簇内的终端均可以在时频资源11上发送各自对应的第一序列Preamble-1、Preamble-2、Preamble-3。
步骤34:接入设备确定接收到的每个簇内的终端所发送的第一序列的数量,也就是确定该簇内的活跃终端的数量。
具体的,同一簇内的终端发送的第一序列相同,不同簇内的终端发送的第一序列不同。接入设备根据接收到的第一序列,确定发送该序列的终端是属于哪个簇,进而根据接收到的第一序列的数量,确定各个簇内的活跃终端的数量。例如,接入设备确定接收到来自第一簇内的终端所发送的第一序列的数量,从而确定第一簇内的活跃终端的数量。接入设备确定接收到的来自第二簇内的终端所发送的第一序列的数量,从而确定第二簇内的活跃终端的数量。接入设备确定接收到的来自第三簇内的终端所发送的第一序列的数量,从而能确定第三簇内的活跃终端的数量。
接入设备在确定每个簇内的活跃终端的数量时,可以采用序列相关性检测的方式确定,也可以采用其他序列检测的方式确定,此处不做限定,以下以序列相关性检测的方式为例。
例如,接收信号
Figure PCTCN2020109865-appb-000001
其中P ix表示第i个簇中第x个终端的发送功率,可以为标量,s i为第i个簇中活跃终端发送的Preamble-i,为一个列向量;h 1x为第i个簇中第x个终端与接入设备间的信道,可以假设通过信道估计已知,若该序列为频域序列,则s ih ix可以理解为是向量的点乘,即向量中各元素的对应相乘,得到一个与s i维度相同的列向量。则相关性检测计算公式为(以s 1检测为例):
Figure PCTCN2020109865-appb-000002
上式中,最后一个约等号成立的条件是s i Hs 1≈0,(i不等于1时),且s 1 Hs 1=1。根据现有的序列设计规则,可以设计出若干个自相关为1、互相关为0的序列满足上述条件,例如现有3GPP协议中的Preamble序列或DMRS序列,在此不赘述。根据上式可知,若第一簇中各终端的信道h 1x已知且发射功率P 1x已知,或第一簇中各终端的P 1xh 1x已知(例如基站通过对各终端的信道估计,指示各终端调整发送功率,使各终端发送的preamble到达基站时功率大致相等),则可以根据相关检测值R1得到发送Preamble-1的终端的数量。同 样地,可以得到发送Preamble-2、Preamble-3的终端的数量。
步骤35:接入设备根据接收到的每个簇内的终端所发送的第一序列的数量,确定该簇对应的第二序列的序列长度,并将序列长度发送给对应簇的终端。
具体的,接入设备根据接收到的来自第一簇内的终端所发送的第一序列的数量,确定第一簇对应的序列长度。接入设备根据接收到的来自第二簇内的终端所发送的第二序列的数量,确定第二簇对应的序列长度。接入设备根据接收到的来自第三簇内的终端所发送的第三序列的数量,确定第三簇对应的序列长度。根据这种方式确定出来的不同簇的序列长度,可能相同,也可能不同。
接入设备可以采用广播或组播或单播的方式,向各个簇内的各个终端发送对应的第二序列的序列长度。此处的广播或组播或单播,与上面介绍的接入设备向终端发送第三配置信息的方式相同,重复之处不再赘述。
接入设备还可以向同一簇内的终端分配不同的第二序列。示例的,接入设备先确定用于生成第二序列的信息,然后将该信息分配给对应的终端,进而使终端采用对应的信息生成第二序列。接入设备还可以确定第二序列所占用的第二资源,并将第二资源发送给对应的终端,以便终端在对应的第二资源上发送第二序列。以下结合表2具体介绍。
表2:接入设备给各终端分配第二序列及第二资源
终端 用于确定第二序列的信息 第二资源
第一簇内的终端 f11(n),f12(n),……,f1x(n) 时频资源21
第二簇内的终端 f21(n),f22(n),……,f2y(n) 时频资源22或21
第三簇内的终端 f31(n),f32(n),……,f3g(n) 时频资源23或21
如表2所示,第一簇内有x个终端,接入设备分配给第一个终端的用于确定第二序列的信息为f11(n),分配给第二个终端的用于确定第二序列的信息为f12(n),分配给第x个终端的用于确定第二序列的信息为f1x(n)。第二簇内有y个终端,接入设备分配给第一个终端的用于确定第二序列的信息为f21(n),分配给第二个终端的用于确定第二序列的信息为f22(n),分配给第y个终端的用于确定第二序列的信息为f2y(n)。第三簇类似,不再重复。
接入设备可以确定每个终端所使用的生成第二序列的信息,并将该信息发送给对应的终端。具体的,接入设备在向同一簇内的不同终端分配不同的确定第二序列的信息时,示例的,接入设备可以向第一终端发送第四配置信息,相应的,所述第一终端接收来自接入设备的第四配置信息,所述第四配置信息包括第一信息,所述第一信息用于所述第一终端确定所述第一终端发送的第二序列,所述第一终端位于所述第一簇内。此处的第一终端例如可以是上面描述的第一簇内的第一个终端,在第一信息可以是上面描述的f11(n)。
进一步地,所述接入设备还可以向第二终端发送第五配置信息,相应的,所述第二终端接收来自所述接入设备的第五配置信息,所述第五配置信息包括第二信息,所述第二信息用于所述第二终端确定所述第二终端发送的第二序列,所述第二终端位于所述第一簇内。此处的第二终端例如可以是上面描述的第一簇内的第二个终端,在第二信息可以是上面描述的f12(n)。
第一信息(例如f11(n))与第二信息(例如f12(n))可以不同,则接入设备向第一簇内的不同终端发送不同的用于确定第二序列的信息,以便于第一簇内的不同终端生成不同的第二序列。这些用于生成第二序列的信息f11(n)、f12(n)例如可以是运算关系式,例如 a*x+b*y,或者系数值a或b,或者是指示运算关系式的索引,或者系数值的索引、或者系数值组合的索引等等。第二信息与第一信息也可以相同,第一终端结合第一信息和第一参数生成的第二序列,与第二终端结合第二信息和第二参数生成的第二序列可以不同,第一参数与第二参数可以是协议预先规定好的,无需接入设备发送,例如可以是终端的标识,不同的终端标识代入同一运算关系式中,得出的结果也可能不同,也就是不同的终端得出的第二序列不同。
此外,接入设备还可以确定发送第二序列的第二资源,并将该第二资源发送给终端,以便终端在对应的第二资源上发送第二序列。该第二序列的第二资源可以是根据发送给该簇的终端的序列长度确定的。
例如,接入设备可以根据序列长度,确定第二资源对应的资源元素(resource element,RE)的数量,或者第二资源中的时域符号的数量,或者第二资源上的子载波的数量。进而,再根据确定出的数量,为该簇选择对应的第二资源。
需要说明的是,本申请允许一定的终端数量测量误差,例如活跃终端的数量的测量有可能不精确,从而导致确定序列长度不准确,从而导致资源分配不是最优的。本申请可以设置一定的冗余,例如,接入设备发送给终端的序列长度比接入设备计算出的所需序列长度更长一点,相应的,分配给终端的发送第二序列的第二资源也会更多一点。但是这样仍然可以减少资源浪费,并不影响本申请的有益效果。
接入设备向同一簇内的不同终端分配的第二资源相同,向不同簇内的终端分配的第二资源可以相同也可以不同。如表2所示,接入设备分配给第一簇内的终端的第二资源为时频资源21,第二簇内的终端均可以在时频资源21上发送第二序列。接入设备分配给第二簇内的终端的第二资源也可以为时频资源21,第二簇内的终端均可以在时频资源21上发送第二序列。接入设备分配给第二簇内的终端的第二资源也可以为时频资源22,第二簇内的终端均可以在时频资源22上发送第二序列。接入设备分配给第三簇内的终端的第二资源可以为时频资源21、或时频资源23,第三簇内的终端均可以在时频资源21或时频资源23上发送第第二序列。时频资源21、时频资源22和时频资源23各不相同。
接入设备在向同一簇内的终端分配相同的第二资源时,示例的,接入设备可以向所述第一簇内的终端发送第二配置信息,相应的,所述终端接收来自接入设备的第二配置信息,第二配置信息包括第二资源的信息,所述第二资源用于所述第一簇内的所有终端发送所述第二序列。此处的第二资源可以是时域资源、频域资源、空域资源和码域资源中的一种或多种。接入设备向第二簇和第三簇分配第二资源的方式,与向第一簇分配第二资源的方式相同,不再重复赘述。接入设备可以采用广播或组播或单播的方式,向各个簇内的各个终端发送第二配置信息。此处的广播或组播或单播,与上面介绍的接入设备向终端发送第三配置信息的方式相同,重复之处不再赘述。
如图5a所示,提供了两种接入设备为不同簇分配不同的第二资源的方式。
在一种方式中,不同簇的第二资源占用相同的频域资源(子载波)数量,第二序列的长度根据簇内的活跃终端的数量确定,则接入设备为不同簇确定的第二序列的序列长度可能不同。例如,第一簇的第二序列的序列长度大于第三簇的第二序列的序列长度,第三簇的第二序列的序列长度大于第二簇的第二序列的序列长度。则不同簇的终端发送各自的第二序列时,占用的时域资源数量就会不同。即当三个簇占用相同数量的频域资源时,则在时域上,第一簇占用的时域资源的数量,大于第三簇占用的时域资源的数量,大于第二簇 占用的时域资源的数量。
在另一种方式中,不同簇的第二资源占据相同的时域资源(时域符号)数量,接入设备为不同簇分配相同的时域资源数量,分配不同的频域资源(子载波)数量。即当着三个簇占用相同数量的时域资源时,在频域上,第一簇占用的频域资源的数量,大于第三簇占用的频域资源的数量,大于第二簇占用的频域资源的数量。
以上图5a仅是提供了一种分配第二资源的示例,在实际应用中,不同簇的第二资源占用的频域资源数量可以不同,占用的时域资源数量也可以不同。则接入设备为不同簇分配不同的时域资源数量,分配不同的时域资源数量。
在本申请的另一种示例中,接入设备也可以为同一簇内的不同终端配置不同的第二资源的信息,也就是同一簇内的不同终端在不同的资源上发送第二序列,这样接入设备也可以通过接收第二序列的资源,识别第一簇内的发送所述第二序列的终端的身份。在这种情况下,一个簇内的不同的终端发送的第二序列可以相同,也可以不同。不同簇内的终端发送的第二序列一般不同。
在本申请的另一种示例中,接入设备也可以为同一簇内的不同终端配置相同的第二序列,为同一簇内的不同终端配置不同的第二资源,这样一个簇内的不同终端发送的第二序列可以相同,一个簇内的不同终端可以在不同的第二资源上发送第二序列,这样接入设备可以通过接收第二序列的第二资源,识别簇内的发送第二序列的终端的身份。
步骤36:终端根据接入设备发送的用于生成第二序列的信息,生成第二序列,且生成的第二序列符合接入设备发送的序列长度,并在对应的第二资源上发送第二序列。
一个簇内的不同终端发送的第二序列不同,不同簇内的不同终端发送的第二序列也各不相同。结合表2所示,第一簇内的第1个终端发送的第二序列根据f11(n)确定,第一簇内的第2个终端发送的第二序列根据f12(n)确定,第一簇内的第x个终端发送的第二序列根据f1x(n)确定。第二簇内的第1个终端发送的第二序列根据f21(n)确定,第二簇内的第2个终端发送的第二序列根据f22(n)确定,第二簇内的第x个终端发送的第二序列根据f2x(n)确定。第一簇内的终端生成的第二序列符合第一簇对应的序列长度,第二簇内的终端生成的第二序列符合第二簇对应的序列长度。
同一簇内的终端在相同的第二资源上发送第二序列,不同簇内的终端在相同或不同的第二资源上发送第二序列。结合表2所示,第一簇内的终端均可以在时频资源21上发送第二序列。第二簇内的终端均可以在时频资源22上发送第二序列,第三簇内的终端均可以在时频资源23上发送第二序列。或者,第一簇内的终端、第二簇内的终端、第三簇内的终端均可以在时频资源11上发送各自对应的第二序列。
步骤37:接入设备根据第二序列,识别发送该第二序列的终端的身份。
由于各终端确定出的第二序列不同,且接入设备知道各个第二序列对应的终端身份,因此接入设备可以通过序列检测区分出各个终端。接入设备是如何知道各个第二序列对应的终端身份的过程不是本申请关注的。
可选地,接入设备在识别出终端的身份后,还可以给各个终端分配上行数据的发送资源,具体可以通过广播或组播或单播的方式将分配的上行资源发送给对应的终端。该上行数据的发送资源也可以是在识别出终端的身份之前发送的,例如在向终端发送第二资源时,也发送上行数据的发送资源。该上行数据的发送资源可以是物理上行共享信道(physical  uplink shared channel,PUSCH)。
可选地,各个簇的第二资源与PUSCH可以存在关联关系,例如PUSCH与第二资源的时域资源相同,或频域资源相同等。
若有多个终端,可以复用同一个PUSCH向接入设备发送上行数据,多个终端复用相同PUSCH资源的方式可以是,各终端可以使用不同的码本,和/或不同的扩频码。由于接入设备已识别出活跃的终端的身份,且接入设备预先知晓该终端使用的码本或扩频码,因而接入设备可以根据该活跃用户的码本或扩频码,解调出PUSCH上的活跃的终端所发送的上行数据。
可选地,上述实施例中的“终端”,也可以理解为一个终端组中的组头终端。例如,一个终端组中的一个或多个终端活跃时,告知本组的一个组头终端,该组头终端可以代表全组的部分或全部终端,向接入设备发送第一序列和第二序列。终端之间可以通过D2D的方式通信。
以下结合如图5b,先介绍确定终端组的过程。
当有新的终端希望加入到网络时,该终端可以通过随机接入进入连接态,并向接入设备发送注册信息。例如图5b所示,UE1、UE2、UE3为待加入网络的终端,这些终端通过随机接入进入连接态,并向接入设备发送注册消息(registration message),相应的,接入设备接收这些终端发送的注册消息。
接入设备收到注册消息后,向各个终端返回注册响应消息(registration response message)。注册响应消息中可包括已注册的其他终端的信息,和/或与已注册的其他终端之间进行sidelink传输的资源。此外,可选的,注册响应信息中还可以指定该终端作为终端组的组头终端。例如接入设备指定UE1作为组头终端,则发送UE1的注册响应消息中可以包括指示信息,来指示UE1作为组头终端。
随后进行终端组的构建流程,如图5b所示,组头终端向周围的终端广播信息gk(announce the exist of gk by GM),例如,组头终端使用sidelink广播资源向周围的终端广播信息gk,例如gk可以包括一个序列。例如,UE1向UE2、UE3广播信息gk。周围的终端收到一个或多个组头终端发送的gk后,向所述一个或多个终端反馈对gk的测量信息,即反馈该终端与组头终端之间的信道信息。
组头终端接收到周围的一个或多个终端的测量信息后,根据一个预设的特定的规则,例如终端组内最小能耗原则对这些终端(反馈了gk测量信息的终端)进行分组(opt-EC based GH reselection),例如根据K-means等算法进行分组。
组头终端在分组后,记录或更新本组的终端信息(update GH),向该组内的终端以及其他组头广播本组的终端信息,此处的终端信息例如可以是终端的标识。例如UE1向UE2和UE3广播本组的终端信息。
若通过上述过程,仍有部分终端未成功入组,则可以等下一次组头终端更新时,重复上述流程,向组头终端反馈测量信息,来申请加入终端组。
新的终端组形成后,组头终端或组内其他终端可以向接入设备反馈分组信息,例如反馈组头终端的ID以及组头终端与接入设备间的信道状态信息(channel state information,CSI)。例如UE1向接入设备反馈组头终端的ID、信道状态信息。
可选地,接入设备可以周期性或非周期性地更新终端组,例如广播更新终端组指令, 则新的组头终端和其他终端重复上述终端组的构建流程。
接下来结合图5c,介绍组头终端发送第一序列和第二序列的过程。与上面图2和图3中描述的终端发送第一序列和第二序列的过程相同,仅是把终端替换为组头终端。
终端组形成或更新后,接入设备可以将组头终端分配到一个簇中,具体的分簇方法可以参见上面图3中的介绍,此处不再重复。
接入设备还可以向组头终端分配第一序列,发送第一序列的第一资源,用于确定第二序列的信息。详细过程也可以参见上面图3中的介绍,此处不再重复。
各个终端组形成后,组头终端通过接入设备的配置,可以确定自身处于哪个簇中,并且可以获得第一序列及第一资源,以及获得用于确定第二序列的信息。
所有活跃的组头终端在第一资源上发送第一序列,接入设备估计每个簇的活跃的组头终端的数量,确定各簇所使用的第二序列的序列长度,将序列长度及第二资源通过广播或组播等方式发送给各活跃的组头终端。还可以确定第二资源,将第二资源发送给各活跃组头终端。其中通过第二资源的配置,可以指示出各簇的优先级,例如将优先级高的簇的第二资源配置的时间资源早于优先级低的簇的第二资源。
各活跃的组头终端在指定的第二资源上,发送第二序列。接入设备可以通过AMP等算法解出第二序列,从而获得活跃的组头终端的身份信息。
可选地,在获得了活跃的组头终端的身份信息后,还可以向该组头终端分配其发送上行数据的上行资源。各活跃组头终端在分配的上行资源上发送上行数据。
或者,各终端组头在发送第二序列时,可选地,在对应的PUSCH上发送上行数据。
