Description

一种随机接入响应窗口的确定方法及其装置 技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种随机接入响应窗口的确定方法及其装置。
背景技术
卫星通信被认为是未来无线通信技术发展的一个重要方面。卫星通信是指地面上的无线电通信设备利用卫星作为中继而进行的通信。卫星通信系统由卫星部分和地面部分组成。卫星通信的特点是：通信范围大；只要在卫星发射的电波所覆盖的范围内，从任何两点之间都可进行通信；不易受陆地灾害的影响(可靠性高)。
在卫星通信中，由于终端设备与网络设备存在较长的信号传输距离，导致数据传输有较大的时间。对于存在有上下行关系的传输，通过引入定时偏移量Koffset来补偿传输时延。确定准确的随机接入响应窗口RA Response window，但不同的场景下传输需求的时延需求不同，可能会导致不必要的额外时延，提高检测的开销，造成资源的浪费。

具体实施方式
为了便于理解，首先介绍本申请涉及的术语。
1、非地面网络(Non-terrestrial Network，NTN)
NTN是相对于传统的地面网络而言，采用典型的如卫星satellites和高空平台(High-Altitude Platformstation，HAPS)参与布网的技术。以卫星通信为例，同步轨道卫星(Geostationary Earth Orbiting，GEO)理论上只需要3颗即可覆盖除两极地区外的全球范围，可以以较低的成本实现了较大的覆盖范围。
2、物理随机接入信道(Physical Random Access Channel，PRACH)
PRACH是终端设备发起上行系统接入的信道，终端设备会自主发起或是基于基站eNodeB的指示在PRACH信道上发起随机接入过程。
为了更好的理解本申请实施例公开的一种随机接入响应窗口的确定方法，下面首先对本申请实施例适用的通信系统进行描述。
请参见图1，图1为本申请实施例提供的一种通信系统的架构示意图。该通信系统可包括但不限于一个网络设备和一个终端设备，图1所示的设备数量和形态仅用于举例并不构成对本申请实施例的限定，实际应用中可以包括两个或两个以上的网络设备，两个或两个以上的终端设备。图1所示的通信系统以包括一个网络设备101和一个终端设备102为例。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统。例如：长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)系统、第五代(5th generation，5G)移动通信系统、5G新空口(new radio，NR)系统，或者其他未来的新型移动通信系统等。还需要说明的是，本申请实施例中的侧链路还可以称为侧行链路或直通链路。
本申请实施例中的网络设备101是网络的一种用于发射或接收信号的实体。例如，网络设备101可以为演进型基站(evolved NodeB，eNB)、传输点(transmission reception point，TRP)、NR系统中的下一代基站(next generation NodeB，gNB)、其他未来移动通信系统中的基站或无线保真(wireless fidelity，WiFi)系统中的接入节点等。本申请的实施例对网络设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。本申请实施例提供的网络设备可以是由集中单元(central unit，CU)与分布式单元(distributed unit，DU)组成的，其中，CU也可以称为控制单元(control unit)，采用CU-DU的结构可以将网络设备，例如基站的协议层拆分开，部分协议层的功能放在CU集中控制，剩下部分或全部协议层的功能分布在DU中，由CU集中控制DU。
本申请实施例中的终端设备102是用户侧的一种用于接收或发射信号的实体，如手机。终端设备也可以称为终端设备(terminal)、用户设备(user equipment，UE)、移动台(mobile station，MS)、移动终端设备(mobile terminal，MT)等。终端设备可以是具备通信功能的汽车、智能汽车、手机(mobile phone)、穿戴式设备、平板电脑(Pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)终端设备、增强现实(augmented reality，AR)终端设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端设备、无人驾驶(self-driving)中的无线终端设备、远程手术(remote medical surgery)中的无线终端设备、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端设备、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端设备、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端设备、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端设备等等。本申请的实施例对终端设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。
新一代的增强现实(Augmented Reality，AR)、虚拟现实(Virtual Reality，VR)，车车通信等新型互联网应用的不断涌现对于无线通信技术提出了更高的要求，驱使无线通信技术的不断演进以满足应用的需求。当下，蜂窝移动通信技术正在处于新一代技术的演进阶段。新一代技术的一个重要特点就是要支持多种业务类型的灵活配置。由于不同的业务类型对于无线通信技术有不同的要求，如增强移动宽带(Enhanced Mobile Broadband，eMBB) 业务类型主要的要求侧重在大带宽，高速率等方面；高可靠低时延通信(Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication，URLLC)业务类型主要的要求侧重在较高的可靠性以及低的时延方面；大规模机器类型通信(Massive MachineType Communication，mMTC)业务类型主要的要求侧重在大的连接数方面。因此新一代的无线通信系统需要灵活和可配置的设计来支持多种业务类型的传输。
在无线通信技术的研究中，卫星通信被认为是未来无线通信技术发展的一个重要方面。卫星通信是指地面上的无线电通信设备利用卫星作为中继而进行的通信。卫星通信系统由卫星部分和地面部分组成。卫星通信的特点是：通信范围大；只要在卫星发射的电波所覆盖的范围内，从任何两点之间都可进行通信；不易受陆地灾害的影响(可靠性高)。卫星通信作为目前地面的蜂窝通信系统的补充，可以有以下的好处：
(1)延伸覆盖：对于目前蜂窝通信系统无法覆盖或是覆盖成本较高的地区，如海洋，沙漠，偏远山区等，可以通过卫星通信来解决通信的问题。
(2)应急通信：在发生灾难如地震等的极端情况下导致蜂窝通信的基础设施不可用的条件下，使用卫星通信可以快速的建立通信连接。
(3)提供行业应用：比如对于长距离传输的时延敏感业务，可以通过卫星通信的方式来降低业务传输的时延。
可以预见，在未来的无线通信系统中，卫星通信系统和陆地上的蜂窝通信系统会逐步的实现深度的融合，真正的实现万物智联。
对于卫星通信的场景下，由于发送端与接收端存在较长的信号传输距离，导致数据传输有较大的时间。对于存在有上下行关系的传输，目前的标准化讨论中确定了引入Koffset的参数来补偿传输时延。
图2是本申请实施例提供的一种基站侧上下行定时对齐的示意图，如图4所示，eNBDL为基站侧下行通信、eNBUL为基站侧上行通信、UEDL为终端侧下行通信、UEUL为终端侧上行通信，n为参考子帧。参考点位于基站中，为了使eNBDL中的参考点n和eNBUL中的参考点处于同一子帧中，需要使终端设备提前检测信号，即使UEUL中的参考点提前，图中Delay为传输延迟，即信号在所述终端设备和基站中传播所用的时间。令所述UEUL中的n比所述UEUL中的n提前TA＝2×Delay的量，TA为时间提前量(Timing Advance，TA)。即可使eNBDL中的参考子帧n和eNBUL中的参考子帧n对齐。
图3是本申请实施例提供的一种基站侧上下行定时不对齐的示意图。如图5所示，eNBDL为基站侧下行通信、eNBUL为基站侧上行通信、UEDL为终端侧下行通信、UEUL为终端侧上行通信，n为参考点。参考点不位于基站中，为了使eNBDL中的参考点n和eNBUL中的参考点处于同一子帧中，需要使终端设备提前检测信号，即使UEUL中的参考点提前，图中Delay为传输延迟，即信号在所述终端设备和基站中传播所用的时间。令所述UEUL中的n比所述UEUL中的n提前一个TA的量。即可使eNBDL中的参考点n和eNBUL中的参考点处于同一子帧中。
所述Koffset可以应用在多种操作下，比如：DCI调度的PUSCH传输；HARQ反馈信息的传输以及MAC CE的传输等。对于某些上下行操作，还可以通过终端设备与网络设备UE-eNB的往返时间(Round-Trip Time，RTT)进行延迟补偿，来补偿终端到基站的传播时 延。
在卫星通信的场景下，不同的场景下采用的定时关系的范围可能是不一样的，取决于卫星的轨道信息以及参考点reference point的位置信息。定时关系的范围可能在[0ms,560ms]。
对于NB-IoT的终端，当终端发送了NPRACH序列，终端开启随机响应接收窗口RA Response window的时间位置确定方法如下：
如果NPRACH的重复传输次数大于或是等于64，那么RA Response window开始位置是从最后一个包含前导码preamble重复传输的子帧n+UE-eNB RTT+41ms；
如果NPRACH的重复传输次数小于64，那么RA Response window开始位置是从最后一个包含前导码preamble重复传输的子帧n+UE-eNB RTT+4ms；.
对于在NTN场景下支持的NB-IoT设备，如果通过UE-eNB RTT去确定RA Response window的开始位置，在某些场景下，会导致不必要的额外的时延的增加
可以理解的是，本申请实施例描述的通信系统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，随着系统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。
下面结合附图对本申请所提供的随机接入响应窗口的确定方法及其装置进行详细地介绍。
请参见图4，图4是本申请实施例提供的一种随机接入响应窗口的确定方法的流程示意图。可应用于终端设备中。如图4所示，该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤：

本申请实施例中，所述终端设备具有全球导航卫星系统(Global Navigation SatelliteSystem，GNSS)定位能力，并且能够通过星历确定卫星的位置。所述终端设备在发送NPRACH时，能够自动估计时间提前量TA，并且提前进行预补偿，确定RA Response window的开启位置，具体为根据NPRACH的重复传输次数来确定随机响应接收窗口RA Response window的开启位置。为了扩展信号的覆盖范围，NPRACH信道可通过重复传播获得覆盖增强，重复次数可以是{1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128}。在一种可能的实施例中，NPRACH以64个无线帧为循环，在mod 64＝0的无线帧上的0号子帧进行传输，同样的内容在接下来连续的7个无线帧中的0号子帧进行重复传输，NPRACH不可占用0号子帧的前三个OFDM符号。根据所述NPRACH的重复传输次数可以确定获取随机接入响应窗口的开启位置的方法，所述重复传输次数大于预设阈值时和重复传输次数大于预设阈值时对应的确定方法不同。
步骤S402：获取第一设备和第二设备之间的往返时间RTT。
本申请实施例中，如背景技术所述的，NTN具有覆盖广、组网简单的优势。但是，但是受限于较大的轨道高度(35786km)，卫星信号传播时延大，实时业务体验差。为了补偿传输时延，还需要根据卫星信号在第一设备和第二设备之间的传输时间，也即RTT确定响应接收窗口RA Response window的开启位置。在一种可能的实施例中，所述第一设备为终端设备，所述第二设备为网络设备。在另一种可能的实施例中，所述第一设备为网络设备，所述第二设备为终端设备。
