具体实施方式
为使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请实施方式作进一步地详细描述。
目前第三代合作伙伴项目(Third Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)正在研究NTN技术,NTN技术一般采用卫星通信的方式向地面用户提供通信服务。相比地面蜂窝网通信,卫星通信具有很多独特的优点。首先,卫星通信不受用户地域的限制,例如一般的陆地通信不能覆盖海洋、高山、沙漠等无法搭设通信设备或由于人口稀少而不做通信覆盖的区域,而对于卫星通信来说,由于一颗卫星即可以覆盖较大的地面,加之卫星可以围绕地球做轨道运动,因此理论上地球上每一个角落都可以被卫星通信覆盖。其次,卫星通信有较大的社会价值。卫星通信在边远山区、贫穷落后的国家或地区都可以以较低的成本覆盖到,从而使这些地区的人们享受到先进的语音通信和移动互联网技术,有利于缩小与发达地区的数字鸿沟,促进这些地区的发展。再次,卫星通信距离远,且通信距离增大通讯的成本没有明显增加;最后,卫星通信的稳定性高,不受自然灾害的限制。
通信卫星按照轨道高度的不同分为低地球轨道(Low-Earth Orbit,LEO)卫星、中地球轨道(Medium-Earth Orbit,MEO)卫星、地球同步轨道(Geostationary Earth Orbit,GEO)卫星、高椭圆轨道(High Elliptical Orbit,HEO)卫星等等。目前阶段主要研究的是LEO和GEO。
1.LEO
低轨道卫星高度范围为500km~1500km,相应轨道周期约为1.5小时~2小时。用户间单跳通信的信号传播延迟一般小于20ms。最大卫星可视时间20分钟。信号传播距离短,链路损耗少,对用户终端的发射功率要求不高。
2.GEO
地球同步轨道卫星,轨道高度为35786km,围绕地球旋转周期为24小时。用户间单跳通信的信号传播延迟一般为250ms。
为了保证卫星的覆盖以及提升整个卫星通信系统的系统容量,卫星采用多波束覆盖地面,一颗卫星可以形成几十甚至数百个波束来覆盖地面;一个卫星波束可以覆盖直径几十至上百公里的地面区域。
存在至少两种NTN场景:透传载荷NTN和再生载荷NTN。图1示出了透传载荷NTN的场景,图2示出了再生载荷NTN的场景。
NTN网络由以下网元组成:
·1个或者多个网关,用于连接卫星和地面公共网络。
·馈线链路:用于网关和卫星之间通信的链路。
·服务链路:用于终端和卫星之间通信的链路。
·卫星:从其提供的功能上可以分为透传载荷和再生载荷这两种。
·透传载荷:只提供无线频率滤波,频率转换和放大的功能。只提供信号的透明转发,不会改变其转发的波形信号。
·再生载荷:除了提供无线频率滤波,频率转换和放大的功能,还可以提供解调/解码,路由/转换,编码/调制的功能。其具有网络设备的部分或者全部功能。
·星间链路(Inter-satellite links,ISL):存在于再生载荷场景下。
示意性的如图1和图2所示,NTN的两种场景下,网络设备16可以是基站,基站是一种用于为终端提供无线通信功能的装置。基站可以包括各种形式的宏基站,微基站,中继站,接入点等等。在采用不同的无线接入技术的系统中,具备基站功能的设备的名称可能会有所不同,例如在LTE系统中,称为eNodeB或者eNB;在5G NR-U系统中,称为gNodeB或者gNB。随着通信技术的演进,“基站”这一描述可能会变化。本申请实施例中,上述为终端14提供无线通信功能的装置统称为网络设备。
随机接入过程是指从终端发送随机接入前导码开始尝试接入网络到与网络间建立起基本的信令连接之前的过程,随机接入过程用于使终端与网络侧建立数据通信。在NR中,主要支持两种类型的随机接入过程,分别是类型1的随机接入过程和类型2的随机接入过程。
一、类型1的随机接入过程(四步随机接入过程)。
类型1的随机接入过程主要包括如下步骤:
步骤1,终端向网络设备发送消息1(msg1):随机接入前导码(preamble)。
终端在选择的物理随机接入信道(Physical Random Access Channel,PRACH)的时频资源上发送选择的随机接入前导码,网络设备基于随机接入前导码可以估计上行时延(Timing),和终端传输消息3所需要的授权(grant)大小。
步骤2,网络设备向终端发送消息2(msg2):随机接入响应(Random Access Response,RAR)。
终端发送消息1(msg1)之后,开启一个随机接入响应窗口(RAR window),在该随机接入响应窗口内监测物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)。该PDCCH是用随机接入无线网络临时标识符(Random Access Radio Network Temporary Identifier,RA-RNTI)加扰的PDCCH。
成功监测到RA-RNTI加扰的PDCCH之后,终端能够获得该PDCCH调度的物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Share Channel,PDSCH),PDSCH中包含RAR。
RAR中包含:回退指示(Backoff Indicator,BI),用于指示重传消息1的回退时间;随机接入前导标识(Radom Access Preamble Identifier,RAPID),用于指示随机接入前导码;定时提前组(Time Advance Group,TAG),用于调整上行时序;上行授权(UL grant),用于调度消息3的上行资源指示;临时小区无线网络临时标识(Temporary Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identity,Temporary C-RNTI),用于加扰消息4的PDCCH(初始接入)。
步骤3,终端向网络设备发送消息3(msg3):调度传输。
消息3主要用于通知网络设备触发该随机接入过程的事件。示例性的,如果事件是初始接入随机过程,则在消息3中会携带UE ID和建立原因(establishment cause);如果事件是RRC重建,则会携带连接态UE标识和建立原因(establishment cause)。
步骤4,网络设备向终端发送消息4(msg4):竞争解决消息。消息4用于冲突解决。
步骤5,终端向网络设备发送消息5(msg5):连接建立完成(complete)。
消息5主要用于通知网络设备随机接入的连接建立完成。
二、类型2的随机接入过程(两步随机接入过程)。
在基于竞争的随机接入过程中,可以将4步(4-step)的随机接入过程合并成2步(2-step)的随机接入过程。合并后的2步随机接入过程包括消息A和消息B,相关步骤包括:
步骤1,终端向网络设备发送消息A(msgA)。
步骤2,网络设备接收到终端发送的消息A后,向终端发送消息B(msgB)。
可选地,消息A包括消息1和消息3的内容,也即消息A包括:随机接入前导码和UE ID,UE ID可以是:C-RNTI、临时C-RNTI、RA-RNTI、非接入层(Non-Access Stratum,NAS)UE ID中的一种。可选地,消息B包括消息2和消息4的内容,也即消息B包括:随机接入响应和竞争解决消息。
图3示出了本申请一个示例性实施例提供的NTN中定时提前的上报方法的流程图。本实施例以该方法应用于终端中来举例说明。可选地,终端是支持NTN的终端。该方法包括:
步骤302:终端接收网络设备的指示信息。
指示信息是网络设备向终端发送的信令。示意性的,指示信息用于指示终端在随机接入过程中的上行消息中上报或不上报上行定时提前信息,或者,用于指示是否允许终端在随机接入过程中的上行消息中上报或不上报上行定时提前信息。
示意性的,指示信息携带在无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)专有信令中,或,指示信息携带在系统消息广播中。
示意性的,根据前述两种类型的随机接入过程的阐述,随机接入过程中的上行消息包括如下消息中的任意一种:
类型1的随机接入过程中的消息3;
类型1的随机接入过程中的消息5;
类型2的随机接入过程中消息A。
其中,类型1的随机接入过程中的消息3主要用于通知网络设备触发随机接入过程的事件,消息3中携带有UE ID和建立原因,或者是携带有UE标识和建立原因;类型1的随机接入过程中的消息5主要用于通知网络设备随机接入的连接建立完成;类型2的随机接入过程中的消息A包括随机接入前导码和UE ID,UE ID可以是C-RNTI、临时C-RNTI、RA-RNTI、非接入层(Non-Access Stratum,NAS)UE ID中的一种。
根据上行消息的分类,指示信息可以用于仅指示某一消息,也可以用于指示所有消息。示意性的,根据作用的不同,指示信息可分为如下两种类型:
(1)指示信息分别指示随机接入过程中的某一个上行消息。
指示信息用于指示终端是否通过消息3上报上行定时提前信息;
或,指示信息用于指示终端是否通过消息5上报上行定时提前信息;
或,指示信息用于指示终端是否通过消息A上报上行定时提前信息;
或,指示信息用于指示是否允许终端通过消息3上报上行定时提前信息;
或,指示信息用于指示是否允许终端通过消息5上报上行定时提前信息;
或,指示信息用于指示是否允许终端通过消息A上报上行定时提前信息。
(2)指示信息统一指示随机接入过程中的所有上行消息或任意上行消息。
指示信息用于指示终端是否通过消息3、消息5和消息A中的任意一种上报上行定时提前信息;
或,指示信息用于指示是否允许终端通过消息3、消息5和消息A中的任意一种上报上行定时提前信息。
采用上述两种类型中的任意一种的指示信息,其决定是否允许上报上行定时提前信息的依据由网络设备做出,该决定可以是网络设备根据任意与随机接入过程相关的配置信息或运行需求做出的。
示意性的,网络设备根据终端的服务小区的配置决定上述指示信息,其中,终端的服务小区的配置包括随机接入资源的相关配置。示意性的,网络设备还可以根据服务小区覆盖范围、终端与卫星的相对距离、终端与网络设备的相对距离中的至少一种决定是否允许上报上行定时提前信息。比如,网络设备在判断得到服务小区覆盖范围较小时,在指示信息中指示不允许上报上行定时提前信息。
比如,网络设备向终端发送RRC专有信令,RRC专有信令中携带有指示信息,该指示信息用于指示终端是否通过消息3上报上行定时提前信息。又如,网络设备向终端发送系统消息广播,系统消息广播中携带有指示信息,该指示信息用于指示是否允许终端通过消息3、消息5和消息A中的任意一种上报上行定时提前信息。
根据前述内容,对于随机接入过程中的其他消息的接收和发送过程不再赘述。
步骤304:终端根据指示信息在随机接入过程中的上行消息中上报或不上报上行定时提前信息。
由于终端向网络设备发送的上行消息到达网络设备的时间受到距离等因素的影响,导致信号传输存在延时,为保证网络设备侧的时间同步,对于距离网络设备较远的终端通常需要比距离较近的终端提前发送上行消息。上行定时提前信息携带在在上行消息中,是指终端向网络设备发送的用于指示终端的相位位置的相对值。
示意性的,上行定时提前信息包括如下信息中的至少一种:
上行定时提前(Time Advance,TA)值;
终端到卫星之间的第一往返时延(Round Trip Delay,RTD)值;
终端到网络设备之间的第二RTD值;
相对于公共RTD值的增量值。
其中,上行TA值是根据终端到卫星的距离决定。RTD值是根据实时动态码相位差分技术得到的,该技术的原理是:网络设备或卫星将伪距(或坐标)修正值(也可称为差分值)发送到终端,终端根据修正值和本身的观测值估算出终端的精确位置。因此,RTD值可以实时、动态地获取到终端的精确位 置,具有相对定位的作用。示意性的,第一RTD值是指卫星将伪距(或坐标)修正值(也可称为差分值)发送到终端得到的,第二TRD值是网络设备将伪距(或坐标)修正值(也可称为差分值)发送到终端得到的。另外,在一个示例性的实施例中,公共RTD值是指小区内的终端与网络设备之间的最小延迟时长,该最小延迟时长以卫星过定时对应的终端与网络设备之间的延迟时长来决定。示意性的,公共RTD值与增量值之和等于第二RTD值。
比如,网络设备向终端发送RRC专有信令,RRC专有信令中携带有指示信息,该指示信息指示可以允许终端通过消息3上报上行定时提前信息;终端根据该指示信息,在随机接入过程中的上行消息中通过消息3上报第一RTD值。
又如,网络设备向终端发送系统消息广播,系统消息广播中携带有指示信息,该指示信息用于指示不允许终端通过消息3、消息5和消息A中的任意一种上报上行定时提前信息;终端根据该指示信息,在随机接入过程中的上行消息中不上报上行定时提前信息。
综上所述,本实施例提供的方法,通过网络设备控制定时提前信息的上报或者不上报,使得网络设备可以动态调度终端的上行定时提前信息。在网络设备不获取终端的上行定时提前信息时,相对减少了终端上报占用的消息资源,实现了节省资源的目的;在网络设备获取终端的上行定时提前信息时,网络设备能够得到终端确切的定时提前量,从而可以实现了减小调度时延的目的。
根据上述内容,终端在进行NTN中定时提前的上报过程中,根据指示信息的指令生成具体的上行消息,该上行消息中可以携带终端的上行定时提前信息,也可以不携带终端的上行定时提前信息。根据指示信息的分类,终端可选择如下方法中的至少一种上报随机接入过程中的上行消息:

或,指示信息用于指示终端是否通过消息5上报上行定时提前信息;
或,指示信息用于指示终端是否通过消息A上报上行定时提前信息。
(2)指示信息统一指示随机接入过程中的所有上行消息或任意上行消息。
指示信息用于指示终端是否通过消息3、消息5和消息A中的任意一种上报上行定时提前信息。

步骤404:在指示信息用于指示终端在上行消息中上报上行定时提前信息的情况下,终端在随机接入过程中的上行消息中上报上行定时提前信息。

比如,网络设备向终端发送RRC专有信令,RRC专有信令中携带有指示信息,该指示信息指示终端可以通过消息3上报上行定时提前信息;终端根据该指示信息,在随机接入过程中的上行消息中通过消息3上报上行定时提前信息,该上行定时提前信息为第二RTD值。
示意性的,步骤403和步骤404只能执行其一,不能同时执行;或者,先执行步骤403后,根据更新后的指示信息再执行步骤404,;或者,先执行步骤404后,根据更新后的指示信息再执行步骤403。

示意性的,如图8所示,本申请实施例提供了另一种NTN中定时提前的接收方法,该接收方法的步骤如下:
步骤802:网络设备向终端指示信息。
示意性的,指示信息用于指示终端在随机接入过程中的上行消息中上报或不上报上行定时提前信息,或者,用于指示是否允许终端在随机接入过程中的上行消息中上报或不上报上行定时提前信息。示意性的,指示信息携带在RRC专有信令中,或,指示信息携带在系统消息广播中。
示意性的,随机接入过程中的上行消息包括如下消息中的任意一种:
类型1的随机接入过程中的消息3;
类型1的随机接入过程中的消息5;
类型2的随机接入过程中消息A。
根据上行消息的分类,指示信息可以用于仅指示某一消息,也可以用于指示所有消息。示意性的,根据作用的不同,指示信息可分为如下两种类型:
(1)指示信息分别指示随机接入过程中的某一个上行消息。
指示信息用于指示是否允许终端通过消息3上报上行定时提前信息;
或,指示信息用于指示是否允许终端通过消息5上报上行定时提前信息;

(2)指示信息统一指示随机接入过程中的所有上行消息或任意上行消息。
指示信息用于指示是否允许终端通过消息3、消息5和消息A中的任意一种上报上行定时提前信息。
根据前述内容,对于随机接入过程中的其他消息的接收和发送过程不再赘述。
步骤804:网络设备接收终端在随机接入过程中发送的上行消息。
示意性的,上行消息中可以携带有终端的上行定时提前信息,也可以不携带终端的上行定时提前信息。
示意性的,上行定时提前信息包括如下信息中的至少一种:

示意性的,在指示信息用于指示允许在上行消息中上报上行定时提前信息的情况下,随机接入过程中的上行消息中,终端根据逻辑信道优先级和上行调度授权中的至少一种信息可分别作出如下两种决定:
(1)终端在如下情况下上报上行定时提前信息:
按照上行定时提前信息和其他待传数据所属逻辑信道的优先级由高到低的顺序,对所有待传数据进行排序。根据排序后的各个待传数据的大小判断UL grant所调度的上行资源大小在本次上行发送过程中是否能够容纳上行定时提前信息。在UL grant能够容纳上行定时提前信息的情况下,上报上行定时提前信息。

综上所述,本实施例提供的方法,通过网络设备控制定时提前信息的上报或者不上报,使得网络设备可以动态调度终端的上行定时提前信息。在网络设备不获取终端的上行定时提前信息时,相对减少了终端上报占用的消息资源,实现了节省资源的目的;在网络设备获取终端的上行定时提前信息时,网络设备能够得到终端确切的定时提前量,从而可以实现了减小调度时延的目的。
示意性的如图9所示,本申请实施例提供了一种NTN中的定时提前的上报/接收方法,本实施例以该方法由终端和网络设备执行来举例说明,该方法包括如下步骤:
步骤901:网络设备向终端发送指示信息。
步骤902:终端接收网络设备发送的指示信息。
步骤903:终端根据指示信息确定在随机接入过程中的上行消息中上报或者不上报上行定时提前信息。
步骤904:终端生成随机接入过程中的上行消息。
示意性的,指示信息用于指示终端在随机接入过程中的上行消息中上报或不上报上行定时提前信息, 或者,用于指示是否允许终端在随机接入过程中的上行消息中上报或不上报上行定时提前信息。
示意性的,随机接入过程中的上行消息包括如下消息中的任意一种:
类型1的随机接入过程中的消息3;
类型1的随机接入过程中的消息5;
类型2的随机接入过程中消息A。
根据上行消息的分类,指示信息可以用于仅指示某一消息,也可以用于指示所有消息。示意性的,根据作用的不同,指示信息可分为如下两种类型:
(1)指示信息分别指示某一消息。
指示信息用于指示终端通过消息3上报上行定时提前信息;
或,指示信息用于指示终端通过消息5上报上行定时提前信息;
或,指示信息用于指示终端通过消息A上报上行定时提前信息;
或,指示信息用于指示是否允许终端通过消息3上报上行定时提前信息;
或,指示信息用于指示是否允许终端通过消息5上报上行定时提前信息;
或,指示信息用于指示是否允许终端通过消息A上报上行定时提前信息。
(2)指示信息统一指示所有消息。
指示信息用于指示终端通过消息3、消息5和消息A中的任意一种上报上行定时提前信息;
或,指示信息用于指示是否允许终端通过消息3、消息5和消息A中的任意一种上报上行定时提前信息。
比如,网络设备向终端发送RRC专用信令,该信令携带有指令信息,该指令信息允许通过消息3上报上行定时提前信息;终端接收到该指令信息后,根据指令信息确定需要在随机接入过程中的上行消息中上报上行定时提前信息,生成包括上行定时提前信息的上行消息。
步骤905:终端向网络设备发送随机接入过程中的上行消息。
步骤906:网络设备接收终端发送的随机接入过程中的上行消息。
步骤907:网络设备根据提示信息确定在随机接入过程中的上报消息中是否获取上行定时提前信息。
示意性的,上行定时提前信息包括如下信息中的至少一种:
上行TA值;
终端到卫星之间的第一RTD值;
终端到网络设备之间的第二RTD值;

比如,根据允许通过消息5上报上行定时提前信息的指示信息,终端生成随机接入过程的上行消息。随后,终端向网络设备发送该上行消息,该上行消息中包括的上行定时提前信息是第二RTD值。
示意性的如图8所示,以随机接入过程是类型2的随机接入过程为例,NTN中的定时提前的上报/接收的过程根据网络设备是否允许终端通过消息A上报上行定时提前信息分为两种情况,具体如下所示:
情况1:网络设备不允许终端通过消息A上报上行定时提前信息。
示意性的如图10的(a)所示,NTN中的定时提前的上报/接收步骤如下所示:
步骤1011:网络设备向终端发送指示信息。
示意性的,该指示信息中指示不允许终端通过消息A在随机接入过程中的上行消息中上报终端的上行定时提前信息。
步骤1021:终端对上行消息的发送时刻进行TA补偿。
步骤1031:终端向网络设备发送消息A。
终端根据估算的预补偿值对发送时刻进行TA补偿,在进行过TA补偿后的发送时刻向网络设备发送消息A。由于网络设备不允许终端通过消息A上报上行定时提前信息,因此,终端生成的上行消息中不包括上行定时提前信息。也即,终端向网络设备发送的消息A中不上报携带终端的上行定时提前信息的MAC CE。
步骤1041:网络设备确定终端的TA调整量。
步骤1051:网络设备向终端发送消息B。
根据终端上报的消息A,网络设备获取到的是未携带终端的上行定时提前信息的MAC CE。依据消息A,网络设备将对终端的TA进行调整,生成并向终端发送消息B,消息B中携带的终端的TA未根据终端的上行定时提前信息进行调整。
步骤1061:终端基于消息B的指示调整TA。
终端在接收到网络设备发送的消息B后,根据消息B中携带的TA值对终端的上行消息的发送时 刻进行相应的调整。
情况2:网络设备允许终端通过消息A上报上行定时提前信息。
示意性的如图10的(b)所示,NTN中的定时提前的上报/接收步骤如下所示:
步骤1012:网络设备向终端发送指示信息。
示意性的,该指示信息中指示不允许终端通过消息A在随机接入过程中的上行消息中上报终端的上行定时提前信息。
步骤1022:终端对上行消息的发送时刻进行TA补偿。
终端根据估算的预补偿值对发送时刻进行TA补偿,在进行过TA补偿后的发送时刻向网络设备发送消息A。由于网络设备允许终端通过消息A上报上行定时提前信息,因此,终端生成的上行消息中可以包括上行定时提前信息。也即,终端向网络设备发送的消息A中可以上报携带终端的上行定时提前信息的MAC CE。
步骤1042:确定终端的TA调整量。
步骤1052:网络设备向终端发送消息B。
根据终端上报的消息A,网络设备获取到的是携带终端的上行定时提前信息的MAC CE。依据消息A,网络设备将对终端的TA进行调整,生成并发送消息B,消息B中携带的终端的TA是根据终端的上行定时提前信息进行调整后的TA值。
步骤1062:终端基于消息B的指示调整TA。
终端在接收到网络设备发送的消息B后,根据消息B中携带的TA值对终端的上行消息的发送时刻进行相应的调整。
综上所述,本实施例提供的NTN中的定时提前的上报/接收方法,通过网络设备控制定时提前信息的上报或者不上报,使得网络设备可以动态调度终端的上行定时提前信息。在网络设备不获取终端的上行定时提前信息时,相对减少了终端上报占用的消息资源,实现了节省资源的目的;在网络设备获取终端的上行定时提前信息时,网络设备能够得到终端确切的定时提前量,从而可以实现了减小调度时延的目的。
