技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,并且更加具体地,涉及一种随机接入的方法和装置。
背景技术
在LTE或5G有接入控制的通信系统中,希望接入网络的设备可以通过随机接入过程与基站建立连接。在4步随机接入过程中,可以采用重复传输消息3(Msg3)的方式来增强覆盖。如何根据消息3的发送方式来确定随机接入前导,使得网络设备可以根据Msg3的发送方式合理调度资源是当前亟待解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请提供一种随机接入的方法和装置,使得终端设备可以根据消息3的发送方式确定随机接入前导,以便网络设备可以根据消息3的发送方式合理调度资源。
第一方面,提供了一种随机接入的方法,该方法包括:终端设备在至少两个随机接入前导分组中确定第一随机接入前导分组,该至少两个随机接入前导分组与消息3的发送方式相关联,该消息3用于随机接入,该消息3的发送方式包括:该终端设备重复发送该消息3,或者该终端设备不重复发送该消息3,该至少两个随机接入前导分组中至少有一个随机接入前导分组与该终端设备重复发送该消息3相关联;该终端设备在该第一随机接入前导分组确定随机接入前导;该终端设备向网络设备发送该随机接入前导。
其中,该终端设备重复发送该消息3,包括以下一种或多种情况:该终端设备希望重复发送该消息3、该终端设备具备重复发送该消息3的能力、该终端设备需要重复发送该消息3、该终端设备希望被调度重复发送该消息3、该终端设备发送该消息3的次数大于1次。
该终端设备不重复发送该消息3,包括以下一种或多种情况:该终端设备不具备重复发送该消息3的能力,该终端设备不需要重复发送该消息3、该终端设备不希望重复发送该消息3、该终端设备不希望被调度重复发送该消息3、该终端设备的发送该消息3的次数小于或等于1次。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,终端设备在至少两个随机接入前导分组中确定第一随机接入前导分组,该至少两个随机接入前导分组与以下至少一种方式相关联:终端设备重复发送该消息3、终端设备不重复发送该消息3、终端设备发送该消息3的次数、终端设备具备重复发送该消息3的能力、终端设备不具备重复发送该消息3的能 力、终端设备需要重复发送该消息3、终端设备不需要重复发送该消息3、终端设备希望被调度重复发送该消息3、终端设备不希望被调度重复发送该消息3,该至少两个随机接入前导分组中至少有一个随机接入前导分组与终端设备重复发送该消息3的发送方式相关联;该终端设备在该第一随机接入前导分组确定随机接入前导。
在上述方案中,终端设备可以在选择同步信号块之后便在至少两个随机接入前导分组中来进行选择。
基于上述方案,终端设备在至少两个随机接入前导分组中选择随机接入前导分组,其中该至少两个随机接入前导分组中至少有一个随机接入前导分组与终端设备重复发送消息3的发送方式相关联,或者说,该至少两个随机接入前导分组中至少有一个随机接入前导分组用于指示消息3的重复发送,因此,终端设备选择了随机接入前导分组之后,在后续随机接入的流程中,网络设备可以根据该随机接入前导分组确定消息3是否需要重复发送,或者说,网络设备可以根据该随机接入前导分组确定消息3的发送方式,因此,网络设备可以根据消息3是否重复发送(或者说是消息3的发送方式)来为终端设备合理调度资源,从而可以提高资源利用率。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,该终端设备在至少两个随机接入前导分组中确定第一随机接入前导分组,包括:该终端设备接收来自网络设备的指示信息;该终端设备根据该指示信息确定该第一随机接入前导分组与终端设备重复发送该消息3的发送方式相关联;当该消息3的发送方式为该终端设备重复发送该消息3,该终端设备在至少两个随机接入前导分组中确定该第一随机接入前导分组。
在上述方案中,终端设备在选择了同步信号块之后,根据网络设备的指示,确定第一随机接入前导分组与终端设备重复发送消息3的发送方式相关联,或者说,终端设备根据网络设备的指示,确定第一随机接入前导分组用于指示消息3的重复发送,或者说,终端设备根据网络设备的指示,确定网络设备支持通过该第一随机接入前导分组进行消息3的重复传输。进一步地,当该终端设备要重复发送该消息3,则该终端设备选择该第一随机接入前导分组。然后终端设备向网络设备发送该第一随机接入前导分组中的一个随机接入前导,网络设备根据该随机接入前导确定消息3的发送方式为终端设备重复发送消息3,因此可以为该消息3的传输合理调度资源。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,该终端设备在至少两个随机接入前导分组中确定第一随机接入前导分组,包括:该终端设备测量参考信号接收功率RSRP;当该RSRP小于第一门限值,该终端设备在该至少两个随机接入前导分组中确定该第一随机接入前导分组,该第一随机接入前导分组与终端设备重复发送该消息3的发送方式相关联,该第一门限值由第二门限值和相对门限值确定,该第二门限值用于确定该随机接入的载波类型或该随机接入的随机接入类型或该同步信号块。
应理解,该相对门限值可以为现有的随机接入流程中的用于确定随机接入的载波类型或随机接入的随机接入类型或同步信号块等的门限值。因此在该方案中,只需要为该终端设备配置一个相对门限值,终端设备即可根据现有的门限值和相对门限值确定该第一门限值,而不需要针对每一种情况配置一个单独的门限值,从而可以节约信令开销。
在上述方案中,终端设备在选择了同步信号块之后,测量RSRP,当RSRP满足预设条件,则选择与终端设备重复发送消息3的发送方式相关联的第一随机接入前导分组。然 后终端设备向网络设备发送该第一随机接入前导分组中的一个随机接入前导,网络设备根据该随机接入前导确定消息3的发送方式为终端设备重复发送消息3,因此可以为该消息3的传输合理调度资源。
另一方面,针对上述方案,终端设备可以根据相对门限值以及第二门限值来确定第一门限值,因此针对不同的载波、不同的接入类型、不同的同步信号块,终端设备均可以采用这种方式来确定第一门限值,而不需要针对每一种情况配置一个单独的门限值,从而可以节约信令开销。
上述两种确定随机接入前导分组的方式可以结合。结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,该终端设备在至少两个随机接入前导分组中确定第一随机接入前导分组,包括:该终端设备接收来自网络设备的指示信息;该终端设备根据该指示信息确定该第一随机接入前导分组与终端设备重复发送该消息3的发送方式相关联;该终端设备测量参考信号接收功率RSRP;当该RSRP小于第一门限值,该终端设备在该至少两个随机接入前导分组中选择该第一随机接入前导分组。
上述方案中的随机接入前导分组还可以替换为随机接入机会分组,即还可以按照随机接入机会将不同的随机接入前导进行分组,或者按照不同的随机接入机会关联不同的消息3的发送方式,具体方案类似,不再赘述。

为便于理解本申请实施例,首先对本申请中涉及到的相关技术内容作简单说明。
1、随机接入(random access,RA):
在LTE或5G有接入控制的通信系统中,用于未接入网络的设备与网络建立连接的信息交互机制(或者过程)。由于随机接入过程由随机接入信道(random access channel,RACH)承载,协议和口语中也常将RA和RACH混用。分为基于竞争的随机接入和非竞争的随机接入。基于竞争的随机接入通常分为4步,每一步对应一个消息:包括消息1、消息2、消息3、消息4,分别承载不同的信令或者信息。基于非竞争的随机接入只有前2步。另外,为了降低4步基于竞争的随机接入的接入时间,进一步有2步随机接入。在2步随机接入中,由消息A和消息B两个组成,其中消息A中包括前导和第一个数据信息(例如类似4步随机接入中的消息1和消息3),消息B中包括竞争解决以及上行调度(例如类似4步随机接入中的消息2和消息4)。
2、随机接入机会:
随机接入机会又称为随机接入资源(RACH resource)、随机接入时机(RACH occasion/RACH transmission occasion/RACH opportunity/RACH chance,RO),是指用于承载一个或者多个随机接入前导的时间、频率资源。逻辑上,一个随机接入机会用于承载物理随机接入信道(physical random access channel,PRACH)的信息/信号。有时也等效被称为物理随机接入机会、物理随机接入资源(PRACH resource)。
3、参考信号(reference signal,RS):
根据功能,又称为解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS)、信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS)、相位跟踪参考信号(phase tracking reference signal,PTRS)、信道探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS)等。是指发送端或者接收端已知或按照预定的规则可以推断:信号所在的时间和频率位置,以及时间和频率上承载的信号/符号。参考信号用于获取信号在传输中所受外界(例如,空间信道、发送或接收端器件非理想性)影响的已知信号,一般用于进行信道估计、辅助信号解调、检测。例如DMRS和CSI-RS用于获取信道信息,PTRS用于获取相位变化信息。
4、参考信号质量:
用于衡量接收信号的强度等,例如,参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP),是在某个符号内承载参考信号的所有资源元素上接收到的信号功率的平均值;接收信号强度指示(received signal strength indicator,RSSI),是在某个符号内接收到的所有信号功率在资源块维度上的平均值(包括参考信号和数据信号、干扰、噪声等);参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality,RSRQ)可以根据RSSI和RSRQ得到,例如RSRQ=NRB*RSRP/RSSI,资源块数量(number of resource block,NRB)为RSSI对应的目标信号的带宽。
5、资源块(resource block,RB):
也称为物理资源块(physical resource block),是基于OFDM的通信系统中频率资源的基本单位。一个资源块一般由N个资源元素(resource element,RE)组成,一个资源元素也称为一个子载波。其中N一般为12。若干个资源块组成一个资源块组(resource block group,RBG),或者也称为物理资源块组。一般情况下,以资源块或者资源块组为单位进行预编码,进行预编码发送的基本单位也被称为预编码资源块组(precoding resource block group,PRG))。一个预编码资源组可以不小于一个资源块组。
6、下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI):
物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)携带的信息称为下行控制信息DCI。DCI可以用于发送下行或上行调度、资源分配、功率控制、重传指示等信息。DCI可能指示终端设备级的信息,可以使用小区无线网络临时标识符(cell radio network temporary identifier,C-RNTI)加扰。或者,DCI也可能指示小区级的信息,可以使用系统信息无线网络临时标识符(system information radio network temporary identifier,SI-RNTI)、寻呼无线网络临时标识符(paging radio network temporary identifier,P-RNTI)、随机接入无线网络临时标识符(random access radio network temporary identifier,RA-RNTI)等加扰。
7、时频资源:
在本申请实施例中,数据或信息可以通过时频资源来承载,其中,该时频资源可以包括时域上的资源和频域上的资源。其中,在时域上,时频资源可以包括一个或多个时域单位(或者,也可以称为时间单位),在频域上,时频资源可以包括频域单位。
其中,一个时域单位(也可称为时间单元)可以是一个符号,或者一个迷你时隙(Mini-slot),或者一个时隙(slot),或者一个子帧(subframe),其中,一个子帧在时域上的持续时间可以是1毫秒(ms),一个时隙由7个或者14个符号组成,一个迷你时 隙可以包括至少一个符号(例如,2个符号或7个符号或者14个符号,或者小于等于14个符号的任意数目符号)。列举的上述时域单位大小仅仅是为了方便理解本申请的方案,不应理解对本申请的限定,可以理解的是,上述时域单位大小可以为其它值,本申请不做限定。
一个频域单位可以是一个资源块,或者一个资源块组,或者一个预定义的子带(subband)。
8、四步随机接入(4-step RA):
一种随机接入方式为四步随机接入。四步随机接入仅是用来表示一种随机接入方式的名称,其具体名称并不对本申请实施例的范围造成限定。终端设备和网络设备之间需要进行四步信息交互(Msg1,Msg2,Msg3,Msg4)。四步随机接入过程的基本流程100如图3所示。下面对流程100做示例性说明:
S101,网络设备向终端设备发送同步信号、系统信息和/或随机接入配置信息。
四步随机接入过程之前,网络设备在特定的位置,通过广播方式发送同步信号和系统信息。在NR中,基站发送的同步信号称为同步/广播信号块(synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block,SSB)(或者表示为SS/PBCH block),SSB和系统信息由网络设备根据配置周期性发送。
可选地,网络设备还可以向终端设备发送随机接入配置信息,以方便终端设备确定随机接入前导(random access preamble)的索引、时频资源、功率配置等信息。
S102,终端设备向网络设备发送Msg1。
终端设备开机之后或者需要重新接入网络时,扫描网络设备的同步信号,进行下行时间和频率同步,同时接收系统信息中有关随机接入资源的配置信息(随机接入配置信息)。
终端设备根据该随机接入配置信息以及同步到的SSB,选择该SSB关联的随机接入资源,该资源包括时间、频率资源,码域资源(随机接入前导码preamble),并使用该随机接入资源发送随机接入信号,又称为消息1(Msg1)。该Msg1,即随机接入前导(preamble或者sequence),通过PRACH承载。通常用于设备与网络之间发起连接请求、切换请求、同步请求、调度请求。
图4和图5为两种SSB与随机接入前导的关联关系示意图。其中,在图4所示的关联关系中,多个SSB关联到同一个随机接入机会中的不同随机接入前导序列,可以通过前导序列索引区分不同的SSB。在图5所示的关联关系中,一个SSB关联到多个随机接入机会。
在一种实现方式中,与K个(K≥1)SSB关联的随机接入机会中的前导,仅用于4-step RA。其中A×K个随机接入前导用于不重复发送消息3,B×K个随机接入前导用于重复发送消息3,A和B为整数。例如,可以是前导索引为0~A×K-1用于不重复发送消息3,前导索引A×K~A×K+B×K-1用于重复发送消息3,其中前导索引A×k~A×(k+1)-1和A×K+B×k~A×K+B×(k+1)-1关联到第k个SSB,k=0~K-1为关联到该随机接入机会的K个SSB的索引。再例如,还可以是前导索引为0~(A+B)×K-1用于关联到K个SSB,每个SSB关联(A+B)个随机接入前导,其中A个随机接入前导用于不重复发送消息3,B个随机接入前导不重复发送消息3。具体地,其中前导索引(A+B)×k~(A+B)×(k+1)-1关联到第k个SSB,且前导索引为(A+B)×k~(A+B)×k+A-1用于不重复发送消息3,前导索引 (A+B)×k+A~(A+B)×(k+1)-1用于重复发送消息3,k=0~K-1为关联到该随机接入机会的K个SSB的索引。
在一种实现方式中,与K个(K≥1)SSB关联的随机接入机会中的前导,仅用于2-step RA。其中A×K个随机接入前导用于不重复发送消息A,B×K个随机接入前导用于重复发送消息A,A和B为整数。例如,可以是前导索引为0~A×K-1用于不重复发送消息A,前导索引A×K~A×K+B×K-1用于重复发送消息A,其中前导索引A×k~A×(k+1)-1和A×K+B×k~A×K+B×(k+1)-1关联到第k个SSB,k=0~K-1为关联到该随机接入机会的K个SSB的索引。再例如,还可以是前导索引为0~(A+B)×K-1用于关联到K个SSB,每个SSB关联(A+B)个随机接入前导,其中A个随机接入前导用于不重复发送消息A,B个随机接入前导不重复发送消息A。具体地,其中前导索引(A+B)×k~(A+B)×(k+1)-1关联到第k个SSB,且前导索引为(A+B)×k~(A+B)×k+A-1用于不重复发送消息A,前导索引(A+B)×k+A~(A+B)×(k+1)-1用于重复发送消息A,k=0~K-1为关联到该随机接入机会的K个SSB的索引。
在一种实现方式中,与K个(K≥1)SSB关联的随机接入机会中的前导,其中MK个随机接入前导用于4-step RA,NK个随机接入前导用于2-step RA。所有随机接入前导用于消息3或消息A的不重复发送。
在一种实现方式中,与K个(K≥1)SSB关联的随机接入机会中的前导,其中MK个随机接入前导用于4-step RA,NK个随机接入前导用于2-step RA。其中用于4-step RA的MK个随机接入前导中,有AK个随机接入前导用于消息3的不重复发送,BK个随机接入前导用于消息3的重复发送,A+B≤M(细节与上述实施例相同)。而且,所有NK个用于2-step RA的前导对应消息A不重复发送。
在一种实现方式中,与K个(K≥1)SSB关联的随机接入机会中的前导,其中MK个随机接入前导用于4-step RA,NK个随机接入前导用于2-step RA。其中用于2-step RA的NK个随机接入前导中,有AK个随机接入前导用于消息A的不重复发送,BK个随机接入前导用于消息A的重复发送,A+B≤N(细节与上述实施例相同)。而且,所有MK个用于4-step RA的前导对应消息3不重复发送。
在NR中,通过SSB于随机接入资源之间的关联,使得网络设备检测到随机接入前导后,就可以获取发送消息2(Msg2)和/或的下行波束。
S103,网络设备向终端设备发送Msg2。
网络设备接收到终端设备发送的Msg1之后,根据终端设备发送的preamble,估计终端设备的定时提前量,并向终端设备回复消息2(Msg2),Msg2中包括了终端设备用于发送消息3(Msg3)进行冲突解决的时频资源位置,调制编码方式等配置信息。
其中,Msg2也称为随机接入响应(random access response,RAR)消息,是网络设备对接收到的Msg1的回应,一个Msg2里面可以回应多个Msg1。对于单个随机接入前导来说,在媒介接入层MAC具有特定的随机接入响应消息。而网络设备往往将一个随机接入机会上检测到的所有随机接入前导的响应,封装到一起,组成一个Msg2,即网络设备可以在同一个Msg2里面,同时针对多个Msg1进行响应,即包含多个RAR。也就是说,RAR在物理层和MAC层都可以称为消息2,但是在物理层一般也被称为与具体某个(例如,终端发送的)随机接入前导相对应的响应消息;而在MAC层则是针对某个随机接入机会或 者多个随机接入机会中,基站检测到的所有随机接入前导响应消息的组合,以MAC数据单元形式组包。
RAR中包括以下信息中的至少一项:Msg1的索引(random access preamble identity,RAPID)、上行调度授权(uplink grant)、时间提前(timing advance)、临时小区-无线网络临时标识(temporary cell radio network temporary identity,TC-RNTI)等。
终端设备发送随机接入前导后,在对应的Msg2中搜寻自己发送的随机接入前导对应的随机接入响应消息,且忽略针对其他随机接入前导的响应消息。
S104,终端设备向网络设备发送Msg3。
终端设备收到Msg2之后,根据Msg2中配置,在对应时频资源发送消息3;Msg3的传输也称为第一次上行调度传输,是由消息2中的UL grant调度传输,或者TC-RNTI加扰的DCI调度的重传。Msg3传输内容为高层消息,例如连接建立请求消息(具体可能是发起连接请求用户的标识信息)。该消息的作用是用于竞争解决,如果多个不同设备使用相同Msg1进行随机接入,通过Msg3和Msg4可以共同确定是否有冲突。消息3的传输有重传和功率控制(即调度初传或者重传的UL grant中,有功率控制信息)。
S105,网络设备向终端设备发送Msg4。
基站接收到消息3之后,向用户回复消息4(Msg4),指示终端用户成功接入。
Msg4用于竞争解决。通常包括消息3中携带的CCCH SDU。如果终端设备在消息4中检测到自己发送的CCCH SDU,则认为竞争随机接入成功,继续进行接下来的通信过程。消息4有重传,即有相应的物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)传输反馈信息(是否成功检测到消息4),终端设备在PUCCH发送反馈信息有功率控制。
其中,Msg1、Msg3、Msg4可以有重新传输(例如传输失败后进行重新传输)。
9、两步随机接入(2-step RA):
一种随机接入方式为两步随机接入。终端设备和网络设备之间需要进行两步信息交互(MsgA,Msg B)。两步随机接入过程的基本流程200如图6所示。下面对流程200做示例性说明:
S201,终端设备向网络设备发送消息A(Msg A)。
该Msg A包括随机接入前导码和第一个数据信息。
S202,网络设备向终端设备发送Msg B。
网络设备向终端设备发送随机接入响应Msg B,该Msg B中包括竞争解决和上行调度。
10、竞争和非竞争随机接入:
根据随机接入过程中,不同终端设备是否可能发生碰撞分为两种不同的随机接入过程:基于竞争的(contention-based)随机接入过程和基于非竞争的(contention-free,non-contention)随机接入过程。基于非竞争的随机接入过程主要包括两个步骤。一种基于非竞争的随机接入流程300如图7所示。下面对流程300做示例性说明:
S301,网络设备向终端设备发送同步信号、系统信息和/或随机接入配置信息。
S301与流程100中的S101类似,不再重复说明。
S302,终端设备向网络设备发送Msg1。
终端设备向网络设备发送随机接入前导,也称为Msg1。对于基于非竞争的随机接入,随机接入前导是终端设备专用的,所以不存在冲突。
S303,网络设备向终端设备发送Msg2。
网络设备向终端设备发送随机接入响应,也称为Msg2。
需要说明,图6所示的两步随机接入过程和图7所示的基于非竞争的随机接入过程虽然都包括两个步骤,但具体的传输方式和消息内容并不相同。
在4步随机接入流程中,有些终端设备需要对Msg3进行重复传输以进行覆盖增强。在这种情况下,如何让网络设备可以针对不同Msg3的传输方式合理调度资源,是我们需要考虑的问题。
一种实现方式中,终端设备在至少另个随机接入前导分组中确定第一随机接入前导分组,该至少两个随机接入前导分组与随机接入过程的消息3的发送方式相关联,该消息3的发送方式包括:该终端设备重复发送该消息3,或者该终端设备不重复发送该消息3,该至少两个随机接入前导分组中至少有一个随机接入前导分组与该终端设备重复发送该消息3的发送方式相关联;该终端设备在该第一随机接入前导分组确定随机接入前导;该终端设备向网络设备发送该随机接入前导。
其中,该终端设备重复发送该消息3,包括以下一种或多种情况:该终端设备具备重复发送该消息3的能力,该终端设备需要重复发送该消息3、该终端设备希望重复发送该消息3、该终端设备希望被调度重复发送该消息3、该终端设备的发送该消息3的次数大于1次;
该终端设备不重复发送该消息3,包括以下一种或多种情况:该终端设备不具备重复发送该消息3的能力,该终端设备不需要重复发送该消息3、该终端设备不希望重复发送该消息3、该终端设备不希望被调度重复发送该消息3、该终端设备的发送该消息3的次数小于或等于1次。
或者,在一种实现方式中,终端设备在至少两个随机接入前导分组中确定第一随机接入前导分组,该至少两个随机接入前导分组与随机接入过程的消息3(Msg3)的发送方式相关联,该Msg3的发送方式用于指示是否重复发送该Msg3,该Msg3的发送方式与以下至少一种情况相关联:终端设备重复发送Msg3、终端设备不重复发送Msg3、终端设备发送Msg3的次数、终端设备具备重复发送Msg3的能力、终端设备不具备重复发送Msg3的能力、终端设备需要重复发送Msg3、终端设备不需要重复发送Msg3、终端设备希望被调度重复发送Msg3、终端设备不希望被调度重复发送Msg3(如果没有特殊说明,本申请中将Msg3的发送方式中的终端设备重复发送Msg3、终端设备具备重复发送Msg3的能力、终端设备需要重复发送Msg3、终端设备希望被调度重复发送Msg3、终端设备发送Msg3的次数大于1,采用“重复发送Msg3”为例进行描述;本申请中将Msg3的发送方式中的终端设备不重复发送Msg3、终端设备不具备重复发送Msg3的能力、终端设备不需要重复发送Msg3、终端设备不希望被调度重复发送Msg3、终端设备发送Msg3的次数为1,采用“不重复发送Msg3”的描述);该至少两个随机接入前导分组中至少有一个随机接入前导分组与重复发送Msg3的发送方式相关联,或者说,该至少两个随机接入前导分组中至少有一个随机接入前导分组用于指示重复发送Msg3;该终端设备在该第一随机接入前导分组确定随机接入前导。
在上述方案中,终端设备可以在选择随机接入的同步信号块之后,便选择随机接入前导分组,其中,终端设备在至少两个随机接入前导分组中确定第一随机接入前导分组的具 体方式可以包括:一示例,终端设备接收来自网络设备的指示信息;该终端设备根据该指示信息确定该第一随机接入前导分组与终端设备重复发送Msg3的发送方式相关联;当该Msg3的发送方式为终端设备重复发送该MSg3,该终端设备在至少两个随机接入前导分组中确定该第一随机接入前导分组,或者说,该终端设备选择该第一随机接入前导分组。另一示例,终端设备测量参考信号接收功率RSRP(例如,同步信号块的RSRP),当该RSRP小于第一门限值,该终端设备在该至少两个随机接入前导分组中确定第一随机接入前导分组,其中,该第一随机接入前导分组与终端设备重复发送Msg3的发送方式相关联。即当RSRP满足一定的门限值要求,终端设备可以选择第一随机接入前导分组来指示Msg3的重复发送。在一种可能的实现方式中,该第一门限值由第二门限值和相对门限值确定,该第二门限值用于确定随机接入的载波类型或随机接入的随机接入类型或随机接入的同步信号块。又一示例,终端设备接收来自网络设备的指示信息;该终端设备根据该指示信息确定该第一随机接入前导分组与该终端设备重复发送Msg3的发送方式相关联;终端设备测量参考信号接收功率RSRP,当该RSRP小于第一门限值,该终端设备在该至少两个随机接入前导分组中确定(或者说选择)第一随机接入前导。
或者,终端设备在至少两个随机接入机会分组中确定第一随机接入机会分组,该至少两个随机接入机会分组与随机接入过程的Msg3的发送方式相关联,Msg3的发送方式用于指示是否重复发送该Msg3,该Msg3的发送方式包括与以下至少一种情况相关联:终端设备重复发送Msg3,或者终端设备不重复发送Msg3,该至少两个随机接入机会分组中至少有一个随机接入机会分组与终端设备重复发送Msg3的发送方式相关联,或者说,该至少两个随机接入机会分组中至少有一个随机接入机会分组用于指示(或对应)重复发送Msg3;该终端设备在该第一随机接入前导分组确定随机接入前导。应理解,这里的随机接入机会分组既可以包含多个随机接入机会,也可以仅包含一个随机接入机会,即一个随机接入机会可以单独组成一个分组。
下面结合图8和图9介绍一种随机接入前导的,其中,图9是图8中的方法400所对应的流程图。方法400包括:
S401,终端设备选择载波类型。
示例性地,当终端设备需要与网络设备(如基站)建立连接时,终端设备测量下行参考信号接收功率RSRP,其中,这里的下行参考信号可以是同步广播信号块SSB,也可以是信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS),该参考信号也可以称为下行路损参考(downlink pathloss reference)信号。
根据图9中的方法流程图,当终端设备被配置了SUL资源,且RSRP<SUL门限值时,终端设备选择SUL作为本次随机接入所使用的载波。否则,终端设备选择NUL作为本次随机接入所使用的载波。应理解,该SUL门限值可以是网络设备提前配置给该终端设备的,该SUL门限值可以记作rsrp-ThresholdSSB-SUL。
需要说明的是,在另一种情况下,在S401之前,终端设备还可以根据网络设备的指示确定本次随机接入所使用的载波的类型,或者终端设备自己确定本次随机接入所使用的载波的类型,本申请不做限定。
S402,该终端设备选择随机接入类型。
示例性地,终端设备在选择了载波之后,进一步选择本次随机接入的随机接入类型。
根据图9中的方法流程图,当终端设备配置了2步资源(用于2步随机接入的资源),且RSRP>Msg A门限值时,则终端设备选择进行2步随机接入,否则终端设备选择进行4步随机接入。应理解,该Msg A门限值可以是网络设备提前配置给该终端设备的,该Msg A门限值可以记作msgA-RSRP-Threshold。
S403,该终端设备选择SSB。
示例性地,根据图9中的方法流程图,如果在S402,终端设备选择进行2步随机接入,此时若RSRP>SSB门限值,则终端设备在候选SSB中选择其中一个SSB,否则终端设备选择任意一个SSB;如果在S402,终端设备选择进行4步随机接入,且终端设备测量的RSRP对应于SSB(也就是该RSRP是对SSB进行测量得到的),此时若RSRP>SSB门限值,则终端设备在候选SSB中选择一个SSB,否则终端设备选择任意SSB;如果在S402,终端设备选择进行4步随机接入,且终端设备测量的RSRP对应于CSI-RS(也就是RSRP是对CSI-RS进行测量得到的),此时若RSRP>CSI-RS门限值,则终端设备在候选SSB中选择一个SSB,否则终端设备选择任意SSB。
应理解,该SSB门限值和CSI-RS门限值可以是网络设备提前配置给终端设备的,该SSB门限值可以记作rsrp-ThresholdSSB,该CSI-RS门限值可以记作rsrp-ThresholdCSI-RS。
应理解,上述门限值可以由网络设备通过高层信令进行配置,即这些门限值可以承载于高层信令中发送给终端设备,这里的高层信令例如可以是物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel,PBCH)、剩余最小系统信息(remaining minimum system information,RMSI)、系统信息块(system information block,SIB)1、SIB2、SIB3、媒体接入控制-控制元素(media access control-control element,MAC-CE)、下行控制信息DCI、无线资源控制RRC、系统信息等。
下面给出一种门限值的配置方式的示例:
rsrp-ThresholdSSB RSRP-Range
rsrp-ThresholdSSB-SUL RSRP-Range
msgA-RSRP-Threshold-r16RSRP-Range
msgA-RSRP-ThresholdSSB-r16 RSRP-Range
rsrp-ThresholdCSI-RS RSRP-Range
S404,该终端设备选择随机接入前导分组/随机接入机会分组。
示例性地,该终端设备在至少两个随机接入前导分组中选择第一随机接入前导分组,该至少两个随机接入前导分组中至少有一个随机接入前导分组与终端设备重复发送Msg3的发送方式相关联,或者说,该至少两个随机接入前导分组中至少有一个随机接入前导分组用于指示重复发送Msg3。
该Msg3的发送方式包括:终端设备重复发送该Msg3,或者,终端设备不重复发送该Msg3。其中,该终端设备重复发送该Msg3,包括以下一种或多种情况:该终端设备具备重复发送该消息3的能力,该终端设备需要重复发送该消息3、该终端设备希望重复发送该消息3、该终端设备希望被调度重复发送该消息3、该终端设备的发送该消息3的次数大于1次;该终端设备不重复发送该消息3,包括以下一种或多种情况:该终端设备不具备重复发送该消息3的能力,该终端设备不需要重复发送该消息3、该终端设备不希望重复发送该消息3、该终端设备不希望被调度重复发送该消息3、该终端设备的发送该消 息3的次数小于或等于1次。
这里的Msg3的发送方式指的是在调度Msg3初始传输或者被调度重新传输时,Msg3重复发送或者Msg3不重复发送(即本次调度,Msg3只发送一次,或者Msg3发送多次)。在另外的实现方式中,还可以是Msg3初传时不重复发送,被调度重传时可以重复发送。
其中,重复发送Msg3,指相同的Msg3的内容(也称为负载payload)经过编码、调制等物理层处理过程后,被映射到多个不同时间(例如,分布在一个或多个时隙上的OFDM符号,或者一个或多个发送机会)和/或者频域资源区域进行发送。在这个过程中,可以发送同一个Msg3的不同(编码)冗余版本,或者相同的冗余版本,或者部分重复发送采取相同的冗余版本、部分重复发送采取不同的冗余版本。其中,用于发送消息3的资源由网络设备在Msg2随机接入响应中调度,或者通过下行控制信息DCI指示。该资源可以是单份,用于Msg3的重复发送或者不重复发送。该资源还可以是多份,终端设备可以从中选择一份或者多份,每一份用于Msg3的重复发送或者不重复发送。
其中,不重复发送Msg3,指Msg3的内容(也称为负载payload)经过编码、调制等物理层处理过程后,被映射到单份时间(可以是指一个时隙,或多个OFDM符号,或者在多个时隙上的多个OFDM符号)和/或者频域资源区域进行发送。在这过程中,仅发送同一个Msg3的单个(编码)冗余版本。终端设备可以是在确定随机接入前导(或者是确定随机接入前导所在的随机接入前导分组,或者是确定随机接入前导所在的随机接入机会分组)之前,确定Msg3的发送方式。例如,终端设备可以在选择随机接入的同步信号块SSB之前或者之后,确定随机接入过程的Msg3的发送方式。
在一种可能的实现方式中,当终端设备根据来自网络设备的指示确定网络设备支持在第二随机接入前导分组/第二随机接入机会分组中重复发送Msg3,并且该Msg3的发送方式为终端设备重复发送该Msg3时,终端设备在第二随机接入前导分组/第二随机接入机会分组选择随机接入前导,并且重复发送Msg3;当终端设备根据来自网络设备的指示信息确定网络设备不支持在第三随机接入前导分组/第三随机接入机会中重复发送Msg2,或者该Msg3的发送方式为终端设备不重复发送该Msg3时,则终端设备不重复发送Msg3,其中,该第二随机接入前导分组/第二随机接入机会分组与终端设备重复发送Msg3的发送方式相关联。
其中,终端设备重复发送Msg3,表示以下中的任意一项:终端设备需要重复发送Msg3;终端设备具备重复发送Msg3的能力;终端设备具备重复发送Msg3的能力,且希望/需要重复发送Msg3;终端具备重复发送Msg3的能力,且希望/需要网络设备调度Msg3重复发送(的资源);终端具备重复发送Msg3的能力,且不希望被Msg2调度Msg3重复发送,但是在Msg3重传时可以重复发送Msg3;Msg3的负载满足一定约束条件,且希望/需要基站调度Msg3重复发送(的资源);终端设备所选择的下行信号满足一定约束条件,且希望/需要基站调度Msg3重复发送(的资源)。
其中,终端设备不重复发送Msg3,表示以下中的任意一项:终端设备不需要重复发送Msg3;终端设备不具备重复发送Msg3的能力;终端设备具备重复发送Msg3的能力,但是不希望被Msg2调度Msg3重复发送;终端设备具备重复发送Msg3的能力,但是不希望/不需要Msg3重复发送。
下面以分组A(Group A)和分组B(GroupB)作为一种示例进行详细说明,其中Group  A和Group B为两个不同的随机接入前导分组,网络设备可以通过对Group B(也可能是Group A)配置预留值来指示网络设备支持在Group B中重复传输Msg3。
下面首先对一种可能的Group A和Group B作示例性说明,在该示例中,Group A和Group B是用于区分Msg3负载大小的不同分组。例如:
对于4步随机接入:如果配置了随机接入前导分组B,且潜在的Msg3大小大于ra-Msg3SizeGroupA,路损值小于PCMAX–preambleReceivedTargetPower–msg3-DeltaPreamble–messagePowerOffsetGroupB,则选择随机接入前导分组B,其中,PCMAX表示最大允许输出功率,preambleReceivedTargetPower表示前导目标接收功率,msg3-DeltaPreamble对应消息3和前导功率偏移值,messagePowerOffsetGroupB对应分组B消息功率偏移值;或者,如果配置了随机接入前导分组B,且随机接入过程由CCCH逻辑信道发起,公共控制信道(common control channel,CCCH)服务数据单元(service data unit,SDU)的大小加上MAC子头大于ra-Msg3SizeGroupA,则选择随机接入前导分组B,否则选择随机接入前导分组A,其中该ra-Msg3SizeGroupA为设定的门限值。
具体的配置信令示例如下:
if Random Access Preambles group B is configured:
if the potential Msg3size(UL data available for transmission plus MAC subheader(s)and,where required,MAC CEs)is greater than ra-Msg3SizeGroupA and the pathloss is less than PCMAX(of the Serving Cell:
performing the Random Access Procedure)–preambleReceivedTargetPower–msg3-DeltaPreamble–messagePowerOffsetGroupB;or
if the Random Access procedure was initiated for the CCCH logical channel and the CCCH SDUsize plus MACsubheader is greater than ra-Msg3SizeGroupA:
select the Random Access Preambles group B.
else:select the Random Access Preambles group A.
else:select the Random Access Preambles group A.
其中ra-Msg3SizeGroupA可以配置如下:
Figure PCTCN2022113069-appb-000001
上述示例中的b表示比特,后面的数字表示比特数量。即b56表示56个比特。
对于两步随机接入:如果配置了2步随机接入的随机接入前导分组B,且潜在的消息A负载大小大于ra-Msg3SizeGroupA,路损值小于PCMAX–msgA-PreambleReceivedTargetPower–msgA-DeltaPreamble–messagePowerOffsetGroupB,则选择随机接入前导分组B;或者,如果配置了随机接入前导分组B,且随机接入过程由 CCCH逻辑信道发起,CCCH SDU的大小加上MAC子头大于ra-MsgA-SizeGroupA,则选择随机接入前导分组B。否则选择随机接入前导分组A。
具体的配置信令示例如下:
if Random Access Preambles group B for 2-step RA type is configured:
if the potential MSGA payload size(UL data available for transmission plus MAC subheader and,where required,MAC CEs)is greater than the ra-MsgA-SizeGroupA and the pathloss is less than PCMAX(of the Serving Cell performing the Random Access Procedure)–msgA-PreambleReceivedTargetPower–msgA-DeltaPreamble–messagePowerOffsetGroupB;or
if the Random Access procedure was initiated for the CCCH logical channel and the CCCH SDU size plus MAC subheader is greater than ra-MsgA-SizeGroupA:
select the Random Access Preambles group B.
else:select the Random Access Preambles group A.
else:select the Random Access Preambles group A.
其中ra-MsgA-SizeGroupA可以配置如下:
Figure PCTCN2022113069-appb-000002
上述Group A和Group B的配置仅仅是一种示例,实际应用中可以有多种分组方式,本申请不作限定。一种具体的示例:网络设备可以通过对Group B配置预留值来指示网络设备支持在Group B中重复传输Msg3,这里的预留值可以是value-a,value-b,value-c,value-d中的一个或多个。具体例如:
当Group B的配置值为b56,b144,b208,b256,b282,b480,b640,b800,b1000,b72中的任意一个时,表示Group B(的前导)对应于Msg3的大小和/或路损,或者说Group B是与Msg3的大小和/或路损相关联的随机接入前导分组,此时Msg3不重复发送,或者说终端设备根据Group B的配置值,确定不重复发送Msg3。其中,这里的配置值可以是上述示例中的ra-Msg3SizeGroupA;
当Group B的配置值为value-a,value-b,value-c,value-d中的一个或多个时,表示Group B的(的前导)可以用于指示Msg3重复发送,或者说Group B(的前导)可以用于指示网络设备支持Msg3重复发送,或者说Group B是与Msg3的重复发送的发送方式相关联的随机接入前导。示例性地,当网络设备配置ra-Msg3SizeGroupA值为value-a,value-b,value-c,value-d中的一个、且终端设备支持且希望Msg3重复发送时(同时还支持其他预设条件),则终端设备可以从该分组中选择随机接入前导。应理解,value-a,value-b,value-c, value-d的值可以为任意整数。
在另一种情况中,当Group B的配置值为value-a,value-b,value-c,value-d中的一个或多个时,表示Group B(的前导)既可以对应于Msg3重复发送,还可以对应于Msg3的大小和/或路损。例如,配置值为value-a(更具体地,例如为64),则表示用于竞争随机接入的前导中有numberOfRA-PreamblesGroupA个用于表示其中Msg3负载大于ra-Msg3SizeGroupA以及路损满足预设条件(或者路损大于根据配置信息确定的值),同时有numberOfRA-PreamblesGroupA个用于表示以下至少一个条件:重复发送Msg3、负载不大于ra-Msg3SizeGroupA、路损小于预设值(或者根据配置信息确定的值),其中,该重复发送Msg3可以表示以下一项或多项:需要重复发送Msg3、希望重复发送Msg3、具备重复发送Msg3的能力。再例如,配置值为value-a(更具体地,例如为108),则表示用于竞争随机接入的前导中有numberOfRA-PreamblesGroupA个用于表示其中Msg3负载大于ra-Msg3SizeGroupA以及路损满足预设条件(或者路损大于根据配置信息确定的值),同时有numberOfRA-PreamblesGroupA个用于表示以下至少一个条件:重复发送Msg3、负载不大于ra-Msg3SizeGroupA、路损小于预设值(或者根据配置信息确定的值)。
更进一步地,GroupB配置值ra-Msg3SizeGroupA(或value-a,value-b,value-c,value-d)还可以和Msg3的最大重复次数相关联。例如,value-a和value-b用于最大重复次数为8,而value-c和value-d用于最大重复次数为16。对应地应理解,随机接入响应消息中的上行调度授权或者调度Msg3重传的上行调度资源(即下行控制信息DCI)中,用于指示Msg3重复发送次数的字段分别为3比特和4比特。具体的配置信令示例如下:
Figure PCTCN2022113069-appb-000003
在一种实现方式中,还可以配置随机接入前导分组C(记为Group C),该Group C与Msg3重复发送的发送方式相关联,或者说Group C用于指示Msg3重复发送,或者说RSRP小于Msg3重复门限值时,终端可以选择Group C中的前导进行随机接入。具体的配置信令示例如下:
Figure PCTCN2022113069-appb-000004
进一步地,当终端设备检测下行参考信号接收功率RSRP小于门限值与功率偏置值RSRPoffsetGroupC之和(或之差,以下以“和”为例进一步说明)时,可以选择Group C 中的前导进行随机接入。应理解,针对不同的随机接入类型、随机接入载波都需要配置不同的门限值,因此可以根据现有流程中的SUL门限值或SSB门限值或Msg A门限值等,以及该功率偏置值RSRPoffsetGroupC,来确定选择Group C的RSRP门限值。例如,当随机接入类型为4步随机接入时,选择Group C的RSRP门限值可以表示为“rsrp-ThresholdSSB+RSRPoffsetGroupC”,因此,当RSRP小于该“rsrp-ThresholdSSB+RSRPoffsetGroupC”时,终端设备选择Group C中的前导进行随机接入。又例如,当随机接入的载波类型为SUL时,选择Group C的RSRP门限值可以表示为“rsrp-ThresholdSSB-SUL+RSRPoffsetGroupC”,因此,当RSRP小于该“rsrp-ThresholdSSB-SUL+RSRPoffsetGroupC”时,终端设备选择Group C中的前导进行随机接入。又例如,当随机接入的载波类型为SUL、随机接入类型为2步随机接入时,选择Group C的RSRP门限值可以表示为“msgA-RSRP-Threshold+RSRPoffsetGroupC”,因此,当RSRP小于该“msgA-RSRP-Threshold+RSRPoffsetGroupC”时,终端设备选择Group C中的前导进行随机接入。又例如,当随机接入的载波类型为NUL、随机接入类型为2步随机接入时,选择Group C的RSRP门限值可以表示为“msgA-RSRP-ThresholdSSB+RSRPoffsetGroupC”,因此,当RSRP小于该“msgA-RSRP-ThresholdSSB+RSRPoffsetGroupC”时,终端设备选择Group C中的前导进行随机接入。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,上述方案还可以应用于两步随机接入过程重复发送消息A的方案。
另一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备确定Msg3的负载大小,当终端设备支持并且希望重复发送Msg3,且Msg3的负载大小小于Msg3重复门限值时,终端设备确定该Msg3的发送方式为:重复发送Msg3,否则终端设备确定该Msg3的发送方式为:不重复发送Msg3。通过这种实现方式,可以使得终端设备通过重复发送Msg3,以提升覆盖,并提高发送成功的概率,降低时延。
作为一个具体示例,可以配置随机接入前导分组C(记为Group C),该Group C与Msg3重复发送的发送方式相关联,或者说Group C用于指示Msg3重复发送,其中,还可以配置字段ra-Msg3SizeGroupC与Msg3的最大重复次数相关联。
当终端设备支持Msg3重复发送,且Msg3大小小于ra-Msg3SizeGroupC时,终端设备使用分组C中前导进行基于竞争的随机接入,其中,该ra-Msg3SizeGroupC为配置的门限值。
具体的配置信令示例如下:
Figure PCTCN2022113069-appb-000005
}在另一种可能的实现方式中,上述方案还可以应用于两步随机接入过程重复发送消息A的方案,在这种情况下,消息A可以对应前述方案中的消息3(Msg3),关于消息A的发送方式与消息3的发送方式类似,这里不再赘述。Group C还可以与消息A的重复发送的发送方式相关联,或者说,Group C用于指示消息A重复发送。例如,当终端设备支持消息A重复传输的方式时,且消息A大小小于ra-MsgASizeGroupC时,终端设备使用分组C中前导进行基于竞争的随机接入,其中,ra-MsgASizeGroupC为配置的门限值。具体的配置信令示例如下:
Figure PCTCN2022113069-appb-000006
应该理解,SSB关联的N个随机接入前导,其中的numberOfRA-PreamblesGroupA个前导用于随机接入前导分组B,其中的numberOfRA-PreamblesGroupC个前导用于随机接入前导分组C,剩下的用于随机接入前导分组B。或者,SSB关联的N个随机接入前导,其中的numberOfRA-PreamblesGroupA个前导用于随机接入前导分组B,其中的numberOfRA-PreamblesGroupC个前导也用于随机接入前导分组B,剩下的用于随机接入前导分组C。
进一步地,随机接入前导分组C还包括该分组对应的最大重复次数的指示信息。例如,配置信息中的字段maxNumberOfRepetitionsENUMERATED{n4,n8}表示该分组对应的最大重复次数。
S405,该终端设备选择随机接入前导。
示例性地,终端设备确定了随机接入前导分组/随机接入机会分组之后,在该随机接入前导分组/随机接入机会分组中选择随机接入前导。
S406,该终端设备发送随机接入前导。
终端设备选择随机接入前导之后,向网络设备发送该随机接入前导以进行随机接入。
对应的,网络设备接收来自终端设备的随机接入前导之后,确定该随机接入前导所对应的随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组,从而可以根据Msg3的发送方式为终端设备合理调度用于发送Msg3(初传和/或重传)的资源,使得资源能够得到有效利用。
上述技术方案,通过将随机接入前导分组或者随机接入机会分组与Msg3的发送方式相关联,使得网络设备在接收到来自终端设备的随机接入前导之后,可以根据该随机接入前导所在的随机接入前导分组或是随机接入机会分组,确定Msg3的发送方式,即确定终端设备是否需要重复发送Msg3、终端设备是否具有重复发送Msg3的能力、终端设备重复发送Msg3的次数、终端设备是否需要重复发送Msg3、终端设备是否希望被调度重复 发送Msg3等,从而使得网络设备可以合理调度资源,使得需要重复发送Msg3的终端设备(也就是覆盖性能比较差的终端设备)能够得到足够的资源重复发送Msg3,不需要重复发送Msg3的终端设备(即覆盖性能比较好的终端设备)能够采取比较少的资源,从而提升资源利用率。
另一种实现方式中,终端设备在选择随机接入的同步信号块之后,确定该随机接入的消息3的发送方式,该消息3的发送方式包括:该终端设备重复发送消息3,或该终端设备不重复发送消息3;该终端设备根据该消息3的发送方式,在第一随机接入前导分组或第一随机接入机会分组确定随机接入前导,该第一随机接入前导分组或第一随机接入机会分组与该消息3的发送方式相关联,该同步信号块与该第一随机接入前导分组或者该第一随机接入机会分组相关联;该终端设备向网络设备发送该随机接入前导。
其中,该终端设备重复发送该消息3,包括以下一种或多种情况:该终端设备希望重复发送该消息3、该终端设备具备重复发送该消息3的能力、该终端设备需要重复发送该消息3、该终端设备希望被调度重复发送该消息3、该终端设备发送该消息3的次数大于1次。
该终端设备不重复发送该消息3,包括以下一种或多种情况:该终端设备不具备重复发送该消息3的能力,该终端设备不需要重复发送该消息3、该终端设备不希望重复发送该消息3、该终端设备不希望被调度重复发送该消息3、该终端设备的发送该消息3的次数小于或等于1次。
或者,在另一种实现方式中,终端设备在选择随机接入的同步信号块之后,确定Msg3的发送方式,该Msg3的发送方式用于表示是否重复发送该Msg3和/或发送该Msg3的次数,该Msg3的发送方式与以下至少一种情况相关联:终端设备重复发送Msg3、终端设备不重复发送Msg3、终端设备发送Msg3的次数、终端设备具备重复发送Msg3的能力、终端设备不具备重复发送Msg3的能力、终端设备需要重复发送Msg3、终端设备不需要重复发送Msg3、终端设备希望被调度重复发送Msg3、终端设备不希望被调度重复发送Msg3。该终端设备根据该Msg3的发送方式,在第一随机接入前导分组或第一随机接入机会分组中选择随机接入前导,该第一随机接入前导分组或该第一随机接入机会分组与该Msg3的发送方式相关联,该同步信号块与该第一随机接入前导分组或者该第一随机接入机会相关联。
其中,终端设备确定Msg3的发送方式可以包括:终端设备测量参考信号接收功率RSRP,当RSRP小于第一门限值,该终端设备确定重复发送该Msg3,或者说终端设备确定Msg3的发送方式为重复发送Msg3。其中,该第一门限值由第二门限值和相对门限值确定,该第二门限值用于确定随机接入的载波类型,或随机接入的随机接入类型,或该同步信号快。
下面结合图10和图11介绍另一种随机接入的方法,其中,图11是图10中的方法500所对应的流程图。方法500包括:
S501,终端设备选择载波。
S502,该终端设备选择随机接入类型。
S503,该终端设备选择SSB。
应理解,S501~S503与方法400中的S401~S403类似,这里不再赘述。
S504,该终端设备确定Msg3的发送方式。
示例性地,可以向终端设备配置Msg3重复门限值,终端设备根据该Msg3重复门限值确定Msg3的发送方式。
一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备检测下行参考信号接收功率RSRP,当终端设备支持并且希望重复发送Msg3,且该RSRP小于Msg3重复门限值时,终端设备确定该Msg3的发送方式为:重复发送Msg3,否则终端设备确定该Msg3的发送方式为:不重复发送Msg3。通过这种实现方式,可以使得终端设备在信道链路质量比较差的情况下,通过重复发送Msg3,来提升Msg3的传输性能。
需要说明的是,上述实现方式中的Msg3重复门限值,可以是通过系统消息配置的,也可以是预定义的。
在上述可能的实现方式中的设定的门限值,可以是网络设备直接配置给终端设备的绝对门限值,也可以是终端设备根据相对门限值,以及SUL门限值、Msg A门限值、SSB门限值中的任意一项确定的。下面对门限值的几种可能的配置方式作示例性说明。
一示例,网络设备向终端设备配置绝对门限值,对应的信令示例如下:
Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Threshold RSRP-Range
这里的Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Threshold表示配置的绝对门限值。
支持并且希望在Msg3初传或者重传时,重复发送该Msg3的终端设备可以根据该门限值来确定Msg3的发送方式。例如,终端设备检测下行参考信号接收功率RSRP,当终端设备支持并且希望重复发送Msg3,且该RSRP小于Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Threshold时,终端设备确定该Msg3的发送方式为:重复发送Msg3。
需要说明的是,针对随机接入类型、随机接入载波、SSB都需要配置独立的门限值,这样的配置方式灵活度比较高。
另一示例,网络设备向终端设备配置相对门限值,对应的信令示例如下:
Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset ENUMERATED{infinity,dB3,dB5,dB8,dB10,dB12,dB15,dB18} OPTIONAL,
这里的Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset表示配置的相对门限值。上述信令中取值的数量以及具体的取值仅仅是一种示例,还可能是其他取值,本申请不做限定。
应理解,针对不同的随机接入类型、随机接入载波都需要配置不同的门限值,因此可以根据现有流程中的SUL门限值或SSB门限值或Msg A门限值等,以及该相对门限值,来确定Msg3重复门限值。例如,在方法500中,当随机接入类型为4步随机接入时,Msg3发送方式的门限值可以表示为“rsrp-ThresholdSSB-Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset”,因此,当RSRP小于该“rsrp-ThresholdSSB-Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset”时,终端设备确定Msg3的发送方式为:重复发送Msg3。又例如,当随机接入的载波类型为SUL时,Msg3发送方式的门限值可以表示为“rsrp-ThresholdSSB-SUL-Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset”,因此,当RSRP小于该“rsrp-ThresholdSSB-SUL-Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset”时,终端设备确定Msg3的发送方式为:重复发送Msg3。又例如,当随机接入的载波类型为SUL、随机接入类型为2步随机接入时,Msg3发送方式的门限值可以表示为“msgA-RSRP-Threshold-Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset”,因此,当RSRP小于该“msgA-RSRP-Threshold-Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset”时,终端设备确定Msg3的发送方式为:重复发送Msg3。又 例如,当随机接入的载波类型为NUL、随机接入类型为2步随机接入时,Msg3发送方式的门限值可以表示为“msgA-RSRP-ThresholdSSB-Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset”,因此,当RSRP小于该“msgA-RSRP-ThresholdSSB-Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset”时,终端设备确定Msg3的发送方式为:重复发送Msg3。以上以门限值与相对门限值之差为例说明,实际中还可以是门限值与相对门限值之和,这里不作限定。
应该理解,本申请中Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset与前述其它实施例中字段RSRPoffsetGroupC的物理意义类似,但是配置方式不同,例如RSRPoffsetGroupC与前导分组信息中配置,而Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset可以在其它任意位置配置。可以理解,后者配置灵活性更好。
需要说明的是,终端设备在确定Msg3的发送方式时,可以采用相对门限值和SUL门限值、SSB门限值、Msg A门限值中的任意一个来确定Msg3重复门限值。优选的,可以采用终端设备在确定Msg3的发送方式之前的上一步骤中所使用的门限值和相对门限值来确定Msg3重复门限值。例如,在方法500中,终端设备在选择SSB之后,确定Msg3的发送方式,因此终端设备可以根据SSB门限值和相对门限值来确定Msg3重复门限值。
下面对网络设备向终端设备配置相对门限值的几种可能的方式作示例性说明。
一示例,网络设备可以通过高层信令直接向终端设备配置相对门限值。
又一示例,网络设备可以向终端设备配置相对门限值(例如,Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset和/或RSRPoffsetGroupC)与Msg3发送方式的参数的关联关系。例如,网络设备向终端设备配置相对门限值(Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset和/或RSRPoffsetGroupC)与Msg3重复发送次数候选值集合中的最大值(maxNumberOfRepetitions)的关联关系。示例性地,表1示出了一种Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset与maxNumberOfRepetitions的关联关系。
表1
maxNumberOfRepetitions Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset
K0 H0
K1 H1
K2 H2
…… ……
其中K0,K1,K2,…,H0,H1,H2,…为非负整数。表2示出了一种具体示例。
表2
maxNumberOfRepetitions Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset
4 10
8 13
12 15
16 16
也就是说,终端设备可以根据maxNumberOfRepetitions以及该关联关系确定Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset。
其中,maxNumberOfRepetitions可以根据消息3的时域资源配置信息(或者物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH)时域资源配置)确定,例如配置方式可以是:
Figure PCTCN2022113069-appb-000007
仅考虑重复次数,配置示例如下(其它与本实施例不相关的字段没有呈现):
<PUSCH时域资源配置>
PUSCH-TimeDomainResourceAllocationList::={
puschAllocationList->PUSCH-Allocation->numberOfRepetitions=n1.
puschAllocationList->PUSCH-Allocation->numberOfRepetitions=n1.
puschAllocationList->PUSCH-Allocation->numberOfRepetitions=n1.
puschAllocationList->PUSCH-Allocation->numberOfRepetitions=n1.
puschAllocationList->PUSCH-Allocation->numberOfRepetitions=n2.
puschAllocationList->PUSCH-Allocation->numberOfRepetitions=n2.
puschAllocationList->PUSCH-Allocation->numberOfRepetitions=n2.
puschAllocationList->PUSCH-Allocation->numberOfRepetitions=n2.
puschAllocationList->PUSCH-Allocation->numberOfRepetitions=n4.
puschAllocationList->PUSCH-Allocation->numberOfRepetitions=n4.
puschAllocationList->PUSCH-Allocation->numberOfRepetitions=n4.
puschAllocationList->PUSCH-Allocation->numberOfRepetitions=n4.
puschAllocationList->PUSCH-Allocation->numberOfRepetitions=n8.
puschAllocationList->PUSCH-Allocation->numberOfRepetitions=n8.
puschAllocationList->PUSCH-Allocation->numberOfRepetitions=n8.
puschAllocationList->PUSCH-Allocation->numberOfRepetitions=n8.
}
根据以上配置可以获得maxNumberOfRepetitions的值为8。类似可以有更多实施例,有更多的配置项,或者其它配置值,本申请不做限定。
又一示例,网络设备可以向终端设备配置相对门限值(Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset和/或RSRPoffsetGroupC)与随机接入前导分组/随机接入机会分组的前导数量(msg3repetition-TotalNumberOfRA-Preambles)的关联关系。示例性地,表3示出了一种Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset与msg3repetition-TotalNumberOfRA-Preambles的关联关系。
表3
msg3repetition-TotalNumberOfRA-Preambles Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset
1~K0 H0
K0+1~K1 H1
K1+1~K2 H2
…… ……
其中K0,K1,K2,…,H0,H1,H2,…为非负整数。表4示出了一种具体示例。
表4
msg3repetition-TotalNumberOfRA-Preambles Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset
1~4 10
5~8 13
9~16 15
17~63 16
也就是说,终端设备可以根据msg3repetition-TotalNumberOfRA-Preambles以及该关联关系确定Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset。
又一示例,网络设备可以向终端设备配置相对门限值(例如,Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset和/或RSRPoffsetGroupC)与终端最大发送功率能力或者终端功率类型有关。例如,网络设备向终端设备配置相对门限值(Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset和/或RSRPoffsetGroupC)与Msg3重复发送次数候选值集合中的最大值(maxNumberOfRepetitions)的关联关系。表5示出了一种Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset与功率类型的关联关系。
表5
终端功率类型UE power class Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset
Class 1 O1
Class 2 O2
Class 3 O3
Class 4 O4
其中O1、O2、O3、O4为实数。它们的取值之间的关系例如是:O2=O1+5;O3=O1+8。进一步地,以上O1、O2、O3、O4的取值还与频率范围有关,即不同频率范围对应的最大功率输出能力不相同,因此需要采取不同的功率偏置值。
应理解,上述配置Msg3重复门限值的方式也可以适用于方法400,不同的是,对于方法400,终端设备可以根据Msg3重复门限值直接确定随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组,例如,终端设备检测下行参考信号接收功率RSRP,当RSRP小于Msg3重复门限值时,终端设备选择第四随机接入前导分组或第四随机接入机会分组,该第四随机接入前导分组或第四随机接入机会分组与重复发送Msg3的发送方式相关联。
应理解,上述Msg3重复门限值中的实施例可以联合使用,形成新的实施例。例如,相对门限值(例如,Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset和/或RSRPoffsetGroupC)与终端最大发送功率能力(或者终端功率类型)和重复次数最大值(maxNumberOfRepetitions)有关。再例如,相对门限值(例如,Msg3Repetition-rsrp-Offset和/或RSRPoffsetGroupC)与终端最大发送功率能力(或者终端功率类型)和分组的前导数量有关。
S505,该终端设备根据Msg3发送方式选择随机接入前导分组/或随机接入机会分组。
示例性地,终端设备根据该Msg3的发送方式,确定随机接入前导分组,该随机接入前导分组与该Msg3的发送方式相关联;或者终端设备根据该Msg3的发送方式,确定随机接入机会分组,该随机接入机会分组与该Msg3的发送方式相关联。也就是说,终端设备根据是否重复发送Msg3(和/或发送Msg3的次数),来确定随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组,然后在该随机接入前导分组或者该随机接入机会分组中确定随机接入前导,该随机接入前导用于该终端设备进行随机接入。应理解,这里的随机接入机会分组既可以包含多个随机接入机会,也可以仅包含一个随机接入机会,即一个随机接入机会可以单独组成一个分组。
其中,该随机接入前导分组与该Msg3的发送方式相关联,指的是该随机接入前导分组可以指示该Msg3的发送方式,或者说,该随机接入前导用于该终端设备重复发送Msg3时进行随机接入的,或者该随机接入前导用于该终端设备不重复发送Msg3时进行随机接入的。可以提前配置不同的随机接入前导分组与不同的Msg3发送方式相关联。
一种示例,可以配置两个随机接入前导分组Group A和Group B,其中Group B与重复发送Msg3的发送方式相关联,网络设备可以通过对Group B配置预留值来指示网络设备支持在Group B中重复传输Msg3。具体配置方式与方法400的S404中的Group A和Group B类似,不再重复说明。
一种示例,Group C与Msg3重复发送的发送方式相关联(关于Group C的配置方式可以参见S404),RSRPoffsetGroupC为配置给终端设备的相对门限值。测量SSB得到的RSRP记为SSB RSRP_measure。如果SSB RSRP_measure>RSRP_thre+RSRPoffsetGroupC, 且终端设备支持重复发送Msg3,则终端设备可以在选择GroupC(或者说可以在Group中选择随机接入前导)。其中,RSRP_thre为以下任意一个:msg3repetition-rsrp-Threshold,msg3repetition-rsrp-ThresholdSSB-SUL,msg3repetition-rsrp-Thr esholdSSB,rsrp-ThresholdSSB,rsrp-ThresholdCSI-RS,msgA-RSRP-ThresholdSSB,rsrp-Thresho ldSSB-SUL。
在一种实现方式中,随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组进一步还可以用于指示终端设备的能力信息。例如,分组D(记为Group D)用于降低能力(reduced capability)终端设备进行随机接入,降低能力终端设备可以在Group D选择随机接入前导。当网络设备从该Group D中检测到的随机接入前导时,确定该终端设备属于降低能力类别,从而方便进行后续的调度。
在一种实现方式中,Msg3重复发送(和/或重复次数)和降低能力这两种类型可以联合对应一个随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组(例如分组E,记为Group E)。因此,当降低能力终端设备确定Msg3的发送方式为重复发送Msg3时,该降低能力终端设备可以在Group E中选择随机接入前导。
在一种实现方式中,可以将Msg3重复发送对应的随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组,与降低能力终端设备对应的随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组位于一个关联周期中不同的循环关联中。例如,Msg3重复发送对应的随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组,位于一个关联周期中奇数编号的循环关联中;降低能力终端对应的随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组位于一个关联周期中偶数编号的循环关联中。又例如,Msg3重复发送对应的随机接入前导或随机接入机会分组,位于一个关联周期中偶数编号的循环关联中;降低能力终端对应的随机接入前导或机会的分组位于一个关联周期中奇数编号的循环关联中。
在一种实现方式中,随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组进一步还可以指示该分组的用途(或者该分组关联的终端需求、终端能力等)。例如,分组F(记为Group F)的分组用途为Msg3重复发送以及降低能力,可以通过usage配置信息来指示Group F的用途。例如,当Group F中usage配置信息对应为Msg3重复发送(msg3-repetition)时,表示该Group F用于重复发送Msg3;当分组中usage配置信息对应为降低能力(reduced-capacility)时,表示该Group F用于降低终端能力进行随机接入。应该理解,以上配置信息仅以分组用途为例,实际中的usage配置信息还可以包括更多信息,例如该分组的起始前导索引(或结束前导索引)、前导数量等。在一种实现方式中,随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组进一步还可以指示该分组的多个用途。例如,分组G(记为Group G)的分组用途为Msg3重复发送以及降低能力,配置中的字段指示该Group G同时用于Msg3重复发送以及降低能力。此时,当降低能力类别的终端设备需要重复发送Msg3时,可以从该Group G中选择随机接入前导。或者还可以是,Group G中一部分前导用于消息3重复发送,另一部分前导用于降低能力。具体地,前导分组中的前导数量为N个,可以是前面floor(N/2)个前导用于Msg3重复发送,其余的N-floor(N/2)用于降低能力;或者可以是,前面floor(N/2)个前导用于降低能力,其余的N-floor(N/2)用于消息3重复发送;或者可以是,奇数索引的前导用于降低能力,偶数索引的前导用于消息3重复发送。应该理解,以上配置信息仅以分组用途为例,实际中还可以包括更多信息,例如该分组的起始前 导索引(或结束前导索引)、前导数量。
例如,配置方式可以是:

或者,

本申请中,方法400、方法500、方法600、方法700、方法800等方法中所描述的实施例都可以用于其它方法中,例如方法400中描述的配置Group A和Group B的方案可以应用于方法500至方法800,不再重复说明。
图12示出了一种随机接入前导分组的配置方式示意图。在图12所示的配置方式中,一个随机接入机会中的若干个随机接入前导被分成多个组,其中至少一个随机接入前分组用于支持Msg3重复发送,或者说,其中至少一个随机接入前导分组用于Msg3重复发送时终端设备进行随机接入。例如,在图12中,SB1与随机接入机会y相关联,在随机接入机会y中,随机接入前导索引为0~x的随机接入前导为一个分组(记为分组#1),随机接入前导索引为k0~k0+w-1的随机接入前导为另一个分组(记为分组#2)。该随机接入机会y中还可能包括其他分组,这里不再一一说明。同时,配置分组#1用于Msg3不重复发送,分组#2用于Msg3重复发送。类似地,SSB0与随机接入机会0相关联,在随机接入机会0中,随机接入前导分组与Msg3的发送方式的关联关系可以与随机接入机会y中相同,也可以不同。例如在随机接入机会0中,可以是前导序列索引为k0~k0+w-1的随机接入前导序列组成的分组用于Msg3重复发送,其他分组用于Msg3不重复发送;也可以是前导序列为0~x-1的随机接入前导序列组成的组用于Msg3重复发送,其他分组用于Msg3不重复发送,本申请对此不作限定。
这里需要说明的是,x或w的值,可以根据关联到该随机接入机会的SSB(或者下行信号)的数量、该分组中的总的随机接入前导的数量一起确定。例如,关联到某个随机接入机会的SSB数量为N(N可以大于1),且用于支持Msg3重复发送的前导分组的总数量为K,可以根据N和K计算出w。具体地,当K可以整除N时,即,
Figure PCTCN2022113069-appb-000010
则关联到该随机接入前导分组(或者随机接入时机)的第n个SSB,对应的前导索引范围为
Figure PCTCN2022113069-appb-000011
例如,图13示出了一种随机接入机会的配置方式示意图。在图13所示的配置方式中,多个随机接入机会中的部分或一个随机接入机会中的随机接入前导,用于支持Msg3重复发送。例如,在图13中,SSB1与随机接入机会y+1、随机接入机会n0+z等多个随机接 入机会相关联,其中,配置随机接入机会n0+z中的随机接入前导用于Msg3重复发送,其余随机接入机会中的随机接入前导用于Msg3不重复发送。类似地,SSB0与随机接入机会0、随机接入机会n0等多个随机接入机会相关联,其中,配置随机接入机会n0中的随机接入前导用于Msg3重复发送,其余随机接入机会中的随机接入前导用于Msg3不重复发送。
可选地,SSB与随机接入机会分组或随机接入前导分组的关联周期(例如,一个关联周期对应若干个随机接入配置周期,时间为5ms的整数倍,或者整数个系统帧,即10ms的整数倍,典型值可以为10ms、20ms、40ms、80ms、160ms、320ms、640ms、1280ms、2560ms、5120ms、10240ms)中,包括多次循环关联(例如,一次循环关联是指将发送的SSB完整关联一次)。其中部分循环关联中,存在用于指示/对应Msg3重复发送的随机接入机会分组或者随机接入前导分组。进一步地,这些循环关联的时间位置(或者位于关联周期中的循环关联的编号)可以由网络设备指示。
S506,该终端设备选择随机接入前导。
示例性地,终端设备确定了随机接入前导分组/随机接入机会分组之后,在该随机接入前导分组/随机接入机会分组中选择随机接入前导。
S507,该终端设备发送随机接入前导。
终端设备选择随机接入前导之后,向网络设备发送该随机接入前导以进行随机接入。
对应的,网络设备接收来自终端设备的随机接入前导之后,确定该随机接入前导所对应的随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组,根据该随机接入前导分组或该随机接入机会分组与Msg3发送方式的关联关系确定Msg3的发送方式,即确定Msg3是否重复传输,进一步地,还可能确定Msg3的传输次数,从而为终端设备合理调度用于发送Msg3的资源,使得资源能够得到有效利用。
在一种实现方式中,基于本方式的随机接入时,网络设备配置用于Msg3重复发送的随机接入前导和/或随机接入机会分组(即随机接入时间和频率资源)不同于Msg3不重复发送的随机接入前导和/或随机接入机会分组。可选地,该资源由独立的随机接入资源配置索引prach-ConfigurationIndex指示随机接入时间资源。进一步地,该资源所在载波索引或带宽部分(或者初始上行接入带宽部分initialUplinkBWP)不同于Msg3不重复发送的载波索引或带宽部分。
在一种实现方式中,Msg3重复发送和Msg3不重复发送的随机接入前导,对应的随机接入响应关联的随机接入-无线网络临时标识(random access-radio network tempory identity,RA-RNTI)计算方式不相同。例如,Msg3不重复发送的随机接入前导的随机接入响应消息(或者随机接入响应对应的下行控制信息DCI),由以下RNTI标识:
RA-RNTI=1+s_id+14×t_id+14×80×f_id+14×80×8×ul_carrier_id;
其中,s_id为随机接入前导所在随机接入机会的第一个OFDM符号索引(0≤s_id<14);t_id为随机接入前导所在随机接入机会的时隙索引(在一个系统帧中,0≤t_id<80),该时隙对应于随机接入前导/机会/格式的子载波间隔;f_id为随机接入前导所在随机接入机会的频域索引(0≤f_id<8),ul_carrier_id为上行载波索引(0 for NUL carrier,and 1 for SUL carrier)。
应理解,上述方案还可以应用于两步随机接入过程重复发送消息A的方案,在这种情 况下,消息A可以对应前述方案中的消息3(Msg3),关于消息A的发送方式与消息3的发送方式类似,这里不再赘述。类似地,MsgA不重复发送的随机接入前导的随机接入响应消息MSGB(或者MSGB对应的下行控制信息DCI),由以下RNTI标识:
MSGB-RNTI=1+s_id+14×t_id+14×80×f_id+14×80×8×ul_carrier_id+14×80×8×2;
Msg3重复发送的随机接入前导的随机接入响应消息(或者随机接入响应对应的下行控制信息DCI),由以下RNTI标识:
RA-RNTI=1+(s_id+1)+14×t_id+14×80×f_id+14×80×8×ul_carrier_id;
即等价于:
RA-RNTI=2+s_id+14×t_id+14×80×f_id+14×80×8×ul_carrier_id;
MsgA重复发送的随机接入前导的随机接入响应消息MSGB(或者MSGB对应的下行控制信息DCI),由以下RNTI标识:
MSGB-RNTI=1+(s_id+1)+14×t_id+14×80×f_id+14×80×8×ul_carrier_id+14×80×8×2;
即等价于:
MSGB-RNTI=2+s_id+14×t_id+14×80×f_id+14×80×8×ul_carrier_id+14×80×8×2;应该理解,由于现有随机接入机会的时间长度最小为2个OFDM符号,采取以上机制可以避免用于不同消息3发送方式的随机接入前导/随机接入机会的响应消息在接收时产生混淆,从而导致随机接入失败。而且,采取该方式,不会导致随机接入Msg2或MsgB中RNTI所取值范围过于分散。
上述技术方案,通过将随机接入前导分组或者随机接入机会分组与Msg3的发送方式相关联,使得网络设备在接收到来自终端设备的随机接入前导之后,可以根据该随机接入前导所在的随机接入前导分组或是随机接入机会分组,确定Msg3的发送方式,即确定终端设备是否需要重复发送Msg3、终端设备是否具有重复发送Msg3的能力、终端设备重复发送Msg3的次数等,从而使得网络设备可以合理调度资源,使得需要重复发送Msg3的终端设备(也就是覆盖性能比较差的终端设备)能够得到足够的资源重复发送Msg3,不需要重复发送Msg3的终端设备(即覆盖性能比较好的终端设备)能够采取比较少的资源,从而提升资源利用率。
在又一种实现方式中,终端设备在选择随机接入的接入类型之后,和/或选择该随机接入的同步信号块之前,确定该随机接入的消息3的发送方式,该消息3的发送方式包括:该终端设备重复发送消息3,或终端设备不重复发送消息3;该终端设备根据该消息3的发送方式,在第一随机接入前导分组或第一随机接入机会分组确定随机接入前导,该第一随机接入前导分组或第一随机接入机会分组与该消息3的发送方式相关联,该同步信号块与该第一随机接入前导分组或者该第一随机接入机会分组相关联;该终端设备向网络设备发送该随机接入前导。
其中,该终端设备重复发送该消息3,包括以下一种或多种情况:该终端设备希望重复发送该消息3、该终端设备具备重复发送该消息3的能力、该终端设备需要重复发送该消息3、该终端设备希望被调度重复发送该消息3、该终端设备发送该消息3的次数大于1。
该终端设备不重复发送该消息3,包括以下一种或多种情况:该终端设备不具备重复发送该消息3的能力,该终端设备不需要重复发送该消息3、该终端设备不希望重复发送该消息3、该终端设备不希望被调度重复发送该消息3、该终端设备的发送该消息3的次数小于或等于1次。
或者,在又一种实现方式中,终端设备在选择随机接入的接入类型之后,确定Msg3的发送方式,和/或,终端设备在选择该随机接入的SSB之前,确定Msg3的发送方式。该Msg3的发送方式用于表示是否重复发送该Msg3和/或发送该Msg3的次数,该Msg3的发送方式与以下至少一种情况相关联:终端设备重复发送Msg3、终端设备不重复发送Msg3、终端设备发送Msg3的次数、终端设备具备重复发送Msg3的能力、终端设备不具备重复发送Msg3的能力、终端设备需要重复发送Msg3、终端设备不需要重复发送Msg3、终端设备希望被调度重复发送Msg3、终端设备不希望被调度重复发送Msg3。该终端设备在选择了SSB之后,在第一随机接入前导分组或第一随机接入机会分组中选择随机接入前导,其中,该SSB与该第一随机接入前导分组或该第一随机接入机会分组相关联,该第一随机接入前导分组或该第一随机接入机会分组与该Msg3的发送方式相关联。
下面结合图14和图15介绍一种随机接入的方法,其中,图15是图14中的方法600所对应的流程图。方法600包括:
S601,终端设备选择载波。
S602,该终端设备选择随机接入类型。
应理解,S601~S602与方法400中的S401~S402类似,这里不再赘述。
S603,该终端设备选择Msg3的发送方式。
示例性地,可以向终端设备配置Msg3重复门限值,终端设备根据该Msg3重复门限值确定Msg3的发送方式。
一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备检测下行参考信号接收功率RSRP,当终端设备支持并且希望重复发送Msg3,且该RSRP小于Msg3重复门限值时,终端设备确定该Msg3的发送方式为:重复发送Msg3,否则终端设备确定该Msg3的发送方式为:不重复发送Msg3。通过这种实现方式,可以使得终端设备在信道链路质量比较差的情况下,通过重复发送Msg3,来提升Msg3的传输性能。
另一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备确定Msg3的负载大小,当终端设备支持并且希望重复发送Msg3,且Msg3的负载大小小于Msg3重复门限值时,终端设备确定该Msg3的发送方式为:重复发送Msg3,否则终端设备确定该Msg3的发送方式为:不重复发送Msg3。通过这种实现方式,可以使得终端设备通过重复发送Msg3,以提升覆盖,并提高发送成功的概率,降低时延。
需要说明的是,上述实现方式中的Msg3重复门限值,可以是通过系统消息配置的,也可以是预定义的。具体配置方式与方法500中的S504所描述的方案类似,这里不再赘述。
S604,该终端设备选择SSB。
S604中终端设备选择SSB的方式与方法400中S403中的选择SSB的方式类似,但需要说明的是,在S604中,需要针对不同的Msg3的发送方式分别选择SSB。
然后进一步地,在S605,终端设备根据Msg3的发送方式选择随机接入前导分组/随 机接入机会分组。
示例性地,终端设备根据该Msg3的发送方式,确定随机接入前导分组,该随机接入前导分组与该Msg3的发送方式相关联;或者终端设备根据该Msg3的发送方式,确定随机接入机会分组,该随机接入机会分组与该Msg3的发送方式相关联。其中,随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组的配置方式与方法500中的S505部分介绍的方法类似,不再重复说明。
其中,随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组还可以指示终端设备的能力信息,或者指示该分组的用途,具体方式可以参见方法500中的相关描述,这里不再赘述。同时,该方案也适用于后续其他实施例,不再重复说明。

终端设备选择随机接入前导之后,向网络设备发送该随机接入前导以进行随机接入。
对应的,网络设备接收来自终端设备的随机接入前导之后,确定该随机接入前导所对应的随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组,根据该随机接入前导分组或该随机接入机会分组与Msg3发送方式的关联关系确定Msg3的发送方式,即确定Msg3是否重复传输,进一步地,还可能确定Msg3的传输次数,从而为终端设备合理调度用于发送Msg3的资源,使得资源能够得到有效利用。
上述技术方案,通过将随机接入前导分组或者随机接入机会分组与Msg3的发送方式相关联,使得网络设备在接收到来自终端设备的随机接入前导之后,可以根据该随机接入前导所在的随机接入前导分组或是随机接入机会分组,确定Msg3的发送方式,即确定终端设备是否需要重复发送Msg3、终端设备是否具有重复发送Msg3的能力、终端设备重复发送Msg3的次数等,从而使得网络设备可以合理调度资源,使得需要重复发送Msg3的终端设备(也就是覆盖性能比较差的终端设备)能够得到足够的资源重复发送Msg3,不需要重复发送Msg3的终端设备(即覆盖性能比较好的终端设备)能够采取比较少的资源,从而提升资源利用率。
在又一种实现方式中,终端设备在选择随机接入的载波之后,和/或选择该随机接入的接入类型之前,确定该随机接入的消息3的发送方式,该消息3的发送方式包括:该终端设备重复发送消息3,或终端设备不重复发送消息3;该终端设备根据该消息3的发送方式,在第一随机接入前导分组或第一随机接入机会分组确定随机接入前导,该第一随机接入前导分组或第一随机接入机会分组与该消息3的发送方式相关联,该同步信号块与该第一随机接入前导分组或者该第一随机接入机会分组相关联;该终端设备向网络设备发送该随机接入前导。
其中,该终端设备重复发送该消息3,包括以下一种或多种情况:该终端设备希望重复发送该消息3、该终端设备具备重复发送该消息3的能力、该终端设备需要重复发送该消息3、该终端设备希望被调度重复发送该消息3、该终端设备发送该消息3的次数大于1。

下面结合图16和图17介绍有一种随机接入的方法,其中,图17是图16中的方法700所对应的流程图。方法700包括:
S701,终端设备选择载波。
应理解,S701与方法400中的S401类似,这里不再赘述。
S702,该终端设备选择Msg3的发送方式。
示例性地,可以向终端设备配置Msg3重复门限值,终端设备根据该Msg3重复门限值确定Msg3的发送方式。
一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备检测下行参考信号接收功率RSRP,当终端设备支持并且希望重复发送Msg3,且该RSRP小于Msg3重复门限值时,终端设备确定该Msg3的发送方式为:重复发送Msg3,否则终端设备确定该Msg3的发送方式为:不重复发送Msg3。通过这种实现方式,可以使得终端设备在信道链路质量比较差的情况下,通过重复发送Msg3,来提升Msg3的传输性能。

需要说明的是,上述实现方式中的Msg3重复门限值,可以是通过系统消息配置的,也可以是预定义的。具体配置方式与方法500中的S504所描述的方案类似,这里不再赘述。
S703,该终端设备选择随机接入类型。
S704,该终端设备选择SSB。
S703~S704与方法400中的S402~S403类似,但需要说明的是,在S703和S704中,终端设备。

在一种实现方式中,基于本方式的随机接入时,网络设备配置用于Msg3重复发送的随机接入前导和/或随机接入机会分组(即随机接入时间和频率资源)不同于Msg3不重复发送的随机接入前导和/或随机接入机会分组。可选地,该资源由独立的随机接入资源配置索引prach-ConfigurationIndex指示随机接入时间资源(Msg3不重复发送时的资源由prach-ConfigurationIndex0来指示,Msg3重复发送时的资源由prach-ConfigurationIndex1来指示)。
上述技术方案,通过将随机接入前导分组或者随机接入机会分组与Msg3的发送方式相关联,使得网络设备在接收到来自终端设备的随机接入前导之后,可以根据该随机接入前导所在的随机接入前导分组或是随机接入机会分组,确定Msg3的发送方式,即确定终端设备是否需要重复发送Msg3、终端设备是否具有重复发送Msg3的能力、终端设备重复发送Msg3的次数等,从而使得网络设备可以合理调度资源,使得需要重复发送Msg3的终端设备(也就是覆盖性能比较差的终端设备)能够得到足够的资源重复发送Msg3,不需要重复发送Msg3的终端设备(即覆盖性能比较好的终端设备)能够采取比较少的资源,从而提升资源利用率。
在又一种实现方式中,终端设备在选择随机接入的载波之前,确定该随机接入的消息3的发送方式,该消息3的发送方式包括:该终端设备重复发送消息3,或终端设备不重复发送消息3;该终端设备根据该消息3的发送方式,在第一随机接入前导分组或第一随机接入机会分组确定随机接入前导,该第一随机接入前导分组或第一随机接入机会分组与该消息3的发送方式相关联,该同步信号块与该第一随机接入前导分组或者该第一随机接入机会分组相关联;该终端设备向网络设备发送该随机接入前导。

在又一种实现方式中,终端设备在选择随机接入的载波类型之前,确定Msg3的发送方式,该Msg3的发送方式用于表示是否重复发送该Msg3和/或发送该Msg3的次数,该Msg3的发送方式与以下至少一种情况相关联:终端设备重复发送Msg3;终端设备不重复发送Msg3;终端设备发送Msg3的次数;终端具备重复发送Msg3的能力;终端不具备重复发送Msg3的能力、终端设备需要重复发送Msg3、终端设备不需要重复发送Msg3、终端设备希望被调度重复发送Msg3、终端设备不希望被调度重复发送Msg3。该终端设备根据该Msg3的发送方式在第一随机接入前导分组或第一随机接入机会分组中选择随机接入前导,该第一随机接入前导分组或该第一随机接入机会分组与该Msg3的发送方式相关联。
下面结合图18和图19介绍一种随机接入的方法,其中,图19是图18中的方法800所对应的流程图。方法800包括:
S801,终端设备选择Msg3的发送方式。
示例性地,可以向终端设备配置Msg3重复门限值,终端设备根据该Msg3重复门限值确定Msg3的发送方式。
一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备检测下行参考信号接收功率RSRP,当终端设备支持并且希望重复发送Msg3,且该RSRP小于Msg3重复门限值时,终端设备确定该Msg3的发送方式为:重复发送Msg3,否则终端设备确定该Msg3的发送方式为:不重复发送Msg3。通过这种实现方式,可以使得终端设备在信道链路质量比较差的情况下,通过重复发送Msg3,来提升Msg3的传输性能。
另一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备确定Msg3的负载大小,当终端设备支持并且希望重复发送Msg3,且Msg3的负载大小小于Msg3重复门限值时,终端设备确定该Msg3的发送方式为:重复发送Msg3,否则终端设备确定该Msg3的发送方式为:不重复发送Msg3。通过这种实现方式,可以使得终端设备通过重复发送Msg3,以提升覆盖,并提高发送成功的概率,降低时延。
需要说明的是,上述实现方式中的Msg3重复门限值,可以是通过系统消息配置的,也可以是预定义的。具体配置方式与方法500中的S504所描述的方案类似,这里不再赘述。
S802,该终端设备选择载波类型。
S803,该终端设备选择SSB。
S804,该终端设备选择随机接入类型。
应理解,S802~S804与方法400中的S401~S403类似,但需要说明的是,在S802~S804中,终端设备需要针对不同的Msg3的发送方式分别选择载波类型、随机接入类型和SSB。
S805,该终端设备根据Msg3的发送方式选择随机接入前导分组/随机接入机会分组。
示例性地,终端设备根据该Msg3的发送方式,确定随机接入前导分组,该随机接入前导分组与该Msg3的发送方式相关联;或者终端设备根据该Msg3的发送方式,确定随机接入机会分组,该随机接入机会分组与该Msg3的发送方式相关联。其中,随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组的配置方式与方法500中的S505部分介绍的方法类似,不再 重复说明。
S806,该终端设备选择随机接入前导。
示例性地,终端设备确定了随机接入前导分组/随机接入机会分组之后,在该随机接入前导分组/随机接入机会分组中选择随机接入前导。
S807,该终端设备发送随机接入前导。
终端设备选择随机接入前导之后,向网络设备发送该随机接入前导以进行随机接入。
对应的,网络设备接收来自终端设备的随机接入前导之后,确定该随机接入前导所对应的随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组,根据该随机接入前导分组或该随机接入机会分组与Msg3发送方式的关联关系确定Msg3的发送方式,即确定Msg3是否重复传输,进一步地,还可能确定Msg3的传输次数,从而为终端设备合理调度用于发送Msg3的资源,使得资源能够得到有效利用。
上述技术方案,通过将随机接入前导分组或者随机接入机会与Msg3的发送方式相关联,使得网络设备在接收到来自终端设备的随机接入前导之后,可以根据该随机接入前导所在的随机接入前导分组或是随机接入机会,确定Msg3的发送方式,即确定终端设备是否需要重复发送Msg3、终端设备是否具有重复发送Msg3的能力、终端设备重复发送Msg3的次数等,从而使得网络设备可以合理调度资源,使得需要重复发送Msg3的终端设备(也就是覆盖性能比较差的终端设备)能够得到足够的资源重复发送Msg3,不需要重复发送Msg3的终端设备(即覆盖性能比较好的终端设备)能够采取比较少的资源,从而提升资源利用率。
上述实施例的方案(方法400至方法800)中,随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组与消息3的发送方式相关联,终端设备可以通过选择随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组来指示是否重复发送消息3。在另一种场景中,随机接入前导或随机接入机会还可以与终端设备是否降低能力相关联,终端设备可以通过选择随机接入前导分组或随机接入机会分组来指示终端设备是否是需要降低能力的终端设备,在这种情况下,可以将上述方案中的“消息3的发送方式”替换为“终端设备的能力类型”,将“消息3重复发送”替换为“降低能力”,形成新的实施例,具体实现方式类似,不再重复说明;或者,将上述方案中的“消息3的发送方式”替换为“终端设备的能力类型”,将“消息A重复发送”替换为“降低能力”,形成新的实施例,具体实现方式类似,不再重复说明。在另一种场景下,还可以将上述方案中的“2-step RA”替换为“降低能力”,与4-step RA的方案对应,从而形成新的实施例,具体实现方式类似,不再重复说明。
