具体实施方式
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请作进一步地描述。
本申请的说明书、权利要求书及附图中的术语“第一”和“第二”等仅用于区别不同对象,而不是用于描述特定顺序。此外,术语“包括”和“具有”以及它们的任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含。例如包含了一系列步骤或单元的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备等,没有限定于已列出的步骤或单元,而是可选地还包括没有列出的步骤或单元等,或可选地还包括对于这些过程、方法、产品或设备等固有的其它步骤或单元。
在本文中提及的“实施例”意味着,结合实施例描述的特定特征、结构或特性可以包含在本申请的至少一个实施例中。在说明书中的各个位置出现该短语并不一定均是指相同的实施例,也不是与其它实施例互斥的独立的或备选的实施例。本领域技术人员可以显式地和隐式地理解的是,本文所描述的实施例可以与其它实施例相结合。
在本申请中,“至少一个(项)”是指一个或者多个,“多个”是指两个或两个以上,“至少两个(项)”是指两个或三个及三个以上,“和/或”,用于描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,“A和/或B”可以表示:只存在A,只存在B以及同时存在A和B三种情况,其中A,B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达,是指这些项中的任意组合。例如,a,b或c中的至少一项(个),可以表示:a,b,c,“a和b”,“a和c”,“b和c”,或“a和b和c”。
本申请提供的通信方法可以应用于各类通信系统,例如,可以是物联网(internet of things,IoT)系统、窄带物联网(narrow band internet of things,NB-IoT)系统、长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统,也可以是5G系统,以及第六代(6th-generation,6G) 系统等。又例如,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以应用于非陆地网络(non-terrestrial networks,NTN)通信系统。
图1a是本申请实施例提供的一种通信系统的架构示意图。如图1a所示,该通信系统包括:网络设备和终端设备。可理解,图1a仅示例性地示出了三个终端设备,但是,不应将图1a所示的终端设备的数量理解为对本申请实施例的限定。
示例性的,网络设备可以是下一代节点B(next generation node B,gNB)、下一代演进型基站(next generation evolved nodeB,ng-eNB)、或者未来6G通信中的网络设备(例如,基站)等。网络设备可以是任意一种具有无线收发功能的设备,包括但不限于以上所示的基站(包括部署于卫星上的基站)。可选的,该网络设备还可以为无线局域网(wireless fidelity,WiFi)系统中的接入节点、无线中继节点、无线回传节点等。可选的,该网络设备可以是云无线接入网络(cloud radio access network,CRAN)场景下的无线控制器。可选的,该网络设备可以是可穿戴设备或车载设备等。可选的,该网络设备还可以是小站,传输接收节点(transmission reception point,TRP)(或也可以称为传输点)等。可理解,该网络设备还可以是未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)中的基站等等。
在一些部署中,基站(如gNB)可以由集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)和分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)构成。即对接入网中的基站的功能进行拆分,将基站的部分功能部署在一个CU,将剩余功能部署在DU。且多个DU共用一个CU,可以节省成本,以及易于网络扩展。在基站的另一些部署中,CU还可以划分为CU-控制面(control plane,CP)和CU-用户面(user plan,UP)等。在基站的又一些部署中,基站还可以是开放的无线接入网(open radio access network,ORAN)架构等等,本申请对于基站的具体类型不作限定。
可选的,本申请实施例所示的网络设备还可以是如图1b所示的卫星或地面站。例如,卫星工作在透传模式时,卫星具有中继转发的功能。地面站具有基站的功能或部分基站功能,此时可以将地面站看做是基站。或者,基站可以与地面站分开部署,那么馈电链路的时延就包括卫星到地面站以及地面站到基站的时延两部分。当卫星工作在再生模式时,卫星具有数据处理能力、具有基站的功能或部分基站功能,此时可以将卫星看做是基站。
示例性的,该终端设备也可称为用户设备(user equipment,UE)、终端等。终端设备是一种具有无线收发功能的设备,可以部署在陆地上,包括室内或室外、手持、穿戴或车载;也可以部署在水面上,如轮船上等。终端设备可以是手机(mobile phone)(如图1a所示的终端设备1和终端设备3)、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、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程医疗(remote medical)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、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端等等。可理解,该终端设备还可以是6G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的PLMN中的终端设备等。可理解,本申请示出的终端设备可以是车联 网中的车辆(如图1a中的终端设备2)。为简洁起见,下文将终端设备称为UE来说明本申请实施例提供的方法。
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,随着网络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。
图2是本申请实施例提供的一种随机接入方法的流程示意图。如图2所示,UE可以通过读取主信息块(master indication block,MIB)和/或系统信息块(system information block,SIB)(如SIB1)来完成下行同步。例如,UE通过读取SIB1可以确定其用于向网络设备发送前导码的资源以指示其访问网络设备的意图。由此,UE可以通过其确定的资源向网络设备发送消息1(message1,Msg1),该Msg1也可以称为随机接入前导。如果网络设备正确地接收到了Msg1,则可以向UE发送用随机接入-无线网络临时标识(random access-radio network temporary identity,RA-RNTI)加扰的消息2(message2,Msg2),该Msg2也可以称为随机接入响应(random access response,RAR)消息。同时,在发送Msg1之后,UE可以使用RA-RNTI监测来自网络设备的Msg2以对该Msg2进行解扰。Msg2中可以包括定时提前(timing advance,TA)、临时小区-无线网络临时标识(temporary cell-RNTI,TC-RNTI)、功率调整以及UE发送消息3(message3,Mgs3)的资源指示。
然后,UE接收到Msg2后,在Msg2指示的上行资源上发送Msg3,Msg3承载在物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH)上。其中,Msg3可以携带唯一的用户标识。
最后,网络设备接收到UE的Msg3之后,向接入成功的UE返回冲突解决消息,也称为消息4(messag4,Msg4)。网络设备在冲突解决消息中将携带Msg3中的唯一用户标识以指示接入成功的UE,而其他没有接入成功的UE将重新发起随机接入。
可理解,图2所示的随机接入方法仅为示例,不应将其理解为对本申请实施例的限定。同时,对于NTN的初始随机接入方法来说,NTN中存在较高的往返时间(round-trip-delay,RTT)(例如,同步卫星高达600ms)和传播延迟差异(例如,同步卫星高达16ms)。对于NTN中的随机接入方法也可以参考图2,这里不再一一详述。
本申请实施例提供一种通信方法和装置,能够通过重复传输的方法有效地实现上行覆盖增强。
在介绍本申请实施例提供的方法之前,以下先详细说明本申请实施例涉及的术语。
1、第一目标重复传输次数
第一目标重复传输次数表示第一消息的重复传输次数,第一目标重复传输次数表示第一消息的重复传输次数可以理解为:第一目标重复传输次数表示第一消息的总传输次数。可选的,第一目标重复传输次数可以由标准预先定义。例如,标准可以预先定义至少一个第一重复传输次数,然后由UE自主确定其传输第一消息的重复传输次数。可选的,该第一目标重复传输次数可以是网络设备下发的至少一个第一重复传输次数(如下文所示的第 二配置信息指示的至少一个第一重复传输次数)中的一个,然后由UE自主确定其传输第一消息的次数。
示例性的,第一目标重复传输次数基于以下信息中的至少一项得到:UE与网络设备之间的信道质量、星历信息、位置信息。其中,星历信息可以为网络设备所获取的星历信息(如图1b所示的卫星通信系统),位置信息可以为UE与网络设备之间的位置信息,如可以通过GNSS获得该位置信息。以下对确定第一目标重复传输次数的几种方式做示例性说明。
A、第一目标重复传输次数是根据UE与网络设备之间的信号质量确定的。
例如,UE与网络设备之间的信号质量较好(如UE与网络设备之间的参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP)大于或等于RSRP阈值),则第一目标重复传输次数就可以为至少一个第一重复传输次数中取值较小的一个传输次数;UE与网络设备之间的信号质量较差(如UE与网络设备之间的RSRP小于RSRP阈值),则第一目标重复传输次数就可以为至少一个第一重复传输次数中取值较大的一个传输次数。
B、第一目标重复传输次数是根据星历信息得到的。
例如,UE根据星历信息确定UE与网络设备之间的距离较远(如UE与网络设备之间的距离大于或等于距离阈值),则第一目标重复传输次数就可以为至少一个第一重复传输次数中取值较大的一个传输次数。又例如,UE根据星历信息确定UE与网络设备之间的距离较近(如UE与网络设备之间的距离小于距离阈值),则第一目标重复传输次数就可以为至少一个第一重复传输次数中取值较小的一个传输次数。
C、第一目标重复传输次数是根据位置信息得到的。
例如,UE根据GNSS确定UE与网络设备之间的距离较远(如UE与网络设备之间的距离大于或等于距离阈值),则第一目标重复传输次数就可以为至少一个第一重复传输次数中取值较大的一个传输次数。又例如,UE根据GNSS确定UE与网络设备之间的距离较近(如UE与网络设备之间的距离小于距离阈值),则第一目标重复传输次数就可以为至少一个第一重复传输次数中取值较小的一个传输次数。
可理解,以上所示的三种情况可以单独使用,或者,以上所示的三种情况也可以结合使用。例如,当UE与网络设备之间的RSRP大于RSRP阈值,以及UE与网络设备之间的距离小于距离阈值,则第一目标重复传输次数可以是至少一个第一重复传输次数中取值最小的一个传输次数。又例如,当UE与网络设备之间的RSRP大于RSRP阈值,或者,UE与网络设备之间的距离小于距离阈值,则第一目标重复传输次数可以是至少一个第一重复传输次数中取值较小的一个传输次数。又例如,当UE与网络设备之间的RSRP不大于RSRP阈值,以及UE与网络设备之间的距离不小于距离阈值,则第一目标重复传输次数可以是至少一个第一重复传输次数中取值最大的一个传输次数。
D、第一目标重复传输次数是UE从至少一个第一重复传输次数中随机确定的一个传输次数。
也就是说,UE可以基于以下至少一项从至少一个第一重复传输次数中确定出第一目标重复传输次数:根据UE与网络设备之间的信号质量确定第一目标重复传输次数;根据星历信息确定第一目标重复传输次数;根据GNSS确定第一目标重复传输次数;从至少一 个第一重复传输次数中随机确定第一目标重复传输次数。
示例性的,当第一目标重复传输次数是网络设备下发的至少一个第一重复传输次数中的一个的情况下,网络设备可以基于如下至少一项确定至少一个第一重复传输次数:
a、根据小区覆盖区域相对卫星的距离为UE配置小区级别的至少一个第一重复传输次数。
b、根据小区每个波束的覆盖区域相对卫星的距离为UE配置波束(beam)级别的至少一个第一重复传输次数。
c、根据小区中每个波束覆盖区域相对卫星的距离为UE配置小区级别的至少一个第一重复传输次数。
例如网络设备可以根据小区覆盖区域中距离卫星最近的位置与卫星之间的距离大小以及小区的覆盖区域大小确定小区级别的至少一个第一重复传输次数,其中,网络设备可以根据卫星星历信息以及小区覆盖区域中距离卫星最近的位置的位置信息,确定该最近的位置与卫星之间的距离大小。一般来讲,小区覆盖区域中距离卫星最近的位置与卫星之间的距离以及小区的覆盖区域越大,网络设备所确定小区级别的至少一个第一重复传输次数的取值就越大。另一种情况,网络设备可以根据小区中每个波束覆盖区域中距离卫星最近的位置与卫星之间的距离大小,以及波束的覆盖区域大小确定波束级别的至少一个第一重复传输次数,即确定每个波束对应的至少一个第一重复传输次数,其中,网络设备可以根据卫星星历信息以及每个波束覆盖区域中距离卫星最近的位置的位置信息,确定该最近的位置与卫星之间的距离大小。一般来讲,一个波束覆盖区域中距离卫星最近的位置与卫星之间的距离以及波束的覆盖区域越大,网络设备所确定的波束级别的至少一个第一重复传输次数的取值就越大。
可理解,以上所示的网络设备配置至少一个第一重复传输次数的方法仅为示例,不应将其理解为对本申请实施例的限定。
2、目标SSB
目标RO组对应目标SSB,如目标RO组是基于目标SSB确定的,该目标SSB可以理解为是网络设备实际发送的SSB候选集中的一个SSB。例如,该目标SSB可以是网络设备实际发送的SSB候选集中接收信号质量较好的SSB,即UE测量网络设备实际发送的SSB候选集中每个SSB的接收信号质量,然后选择接收信号质量较好的SSB作为目标SSB。可选的,该目标SSB可以是网络设备实际发送的SSB候选集中接收信号质量最好的SSB。可选的,该目标SSB可以是网络设备实际发送的SSB候选集中接收信号质量位于前三位的SSB中的任一个。可选的,该目标SSB可以是网络设备实际发送的SSB候选集中接收信号质量大于预设阈值的SSB中的任一个。该预设阈值用于衡量UE与网络设备之间的信号质量。本申请实施例对于该预设阈值的具体取值不作限定。本申请实施例对于目标SSB的具体确定方法不作限定。
3、RO
RO为用于承载随机接入前导码(以下简称为前导码)的时频资源或者说为用于承载Msg1的时频资源。RO还可以称为物理随机接入信道(physical random access channel,PRACH)时机。一个PRACH周期(即用于发送前导码的资源的周期)内可以包括多个 RO,这多个RO在时域上是周期性分布的,该周期可以称为RO的周期(示例性的可参见图4a),每个周期内可以包括一个或多个RO。不同的RO可以通过频域资源进行区分,即对应的时域资源相同但频域资源不同的资源可以为不同的RO。不同的RO也可以通过时域资源进行区分,即对应的频域资源相同但时域资源不同的资源也可以为不同的RO。
4、目标RO组
目标RO组中所包括的RO数量为N,且N为大于0的整数,该N的取值大于或等于第一目标重复传输次数。示例性的,目标RO组中包括的RO数量可以与至少一个第一重复传输次数中的任一个重复传输次数的取值相同。例如,目标RO组中包括的RO数量可以与至少一个第一重复传输次数中取值最大的重复传输次数的取值相同。再例如,目标RO组中包括的RO数量可以与至少一个第一重复传输次数中取值第二大的重复传输次数的取值相同,还可以与其他重复传输次数的取值相同,本申请不作限制。
可理解,关于第一目标重复传输次数、目标SSB、目标RO组的说明,下文同样适应。为避免赘述,下文不再一一详述。
图3是本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法的流程示意图,该方法可以应用于第一通信装置和第二通信装置。例如,第一通信装置可以包括终端设备或设置于终端设备中的芯片,第二通信装置可以包括网络设备或设置于网络设备中的芯片。该方法可以应用于如图1a所示的通信系统,或者,该方法可以应用于如图1b所示的通信系统,这里不再一一详述。为便于描述,下文将以第一通信装置包括UE,第二通信装置包括网络设备为例说明本申请实施例提供的方法。如图3所示,该方法包括:
301、网络设备发送第一配置信息,第一配置信息包括RO信息。对应的,UE接收该第一配置信息。
网络设备可以以广播的方式发送第一配置信息。示例性的,该第一配置信息可以包含于SIB中。例如,该第一配置信息包含于SIB1中。本申请实施例所示的RO信息可以理解为是与RO资源相关的配置信息,UE根据RO信息可以确定PRACH周期中的RO。RO信息包含RO时域资源配置信息,RO频域资源配置信息以及SSB与RO之间的关联关系。RO时域资源配置信息(即用于传输/承载premble/Msg1的PRACH时域资源,或RO的时域位置)包含prach-ConfigurationIndex指示信息,如表1a所示。
表1a定义了FR1(sub-6GHz,低于6GHz)和配对频谱/补充上行链路的随机接入配置。其中,nf表示系统帧号,x表示PRACH配置周期,表示一个PRACH时隙内的RO个数,表示PRACH长度。
表1a


例如,当RO时域资源配置信息指示的PRACH配置索引为109时,存在如下条件:
随机接入前导码格式采用A1/B1;
每两个系统帧(即0,2,4…)就有时域RO(即nf mod 2=0);
在系统帧中的第9个子帧下的时域RO的起始位置从第0个OFDM符号开始;
第9个子帧中有2个PRACH时隙,且每个PRACH时隙中有7个时域RO;
RACH长度为7即占7个OFDM符号。
UE基于RO时域配置信息可以确定RO的时域位置。
RO频域资源配置信息(即用于传输/承载PRACH premble的PRACH频域资源,或RO的频域位置)包含RO的频域大小(即一个RO所占的PRB数),RO的频域起始位置(msg1-FrequencyStart)和频域复用的RO个数(msg1-FDM)。其中,参数msg1-FrequencyStart可以用于配置RO的起始频域位置到初始BWP(intial BWP)或当前活跃BWP(active BWP)的起始频域位置的偏移量(offset);参数msg1-FDM可以用于配置频域复用的RO数。
UE基于RO频域配置信息可以确定RO的频域位置。
SSB与RO之间的关联关系用于指示每个RO所关联的SSB个数X,X的取值可以是{1/8,1/4,1/2,1,2,4,8,16}。
例如,当SSB数量为16,每个RO关联的SSB数量为2,频域上复用的RO数量为2时,则PRACH周期(PRACH period)可以如图4a所示。可理解,图4a示例性示出了一个PRACH周期。又例如,当SSB数量为4,每个RO关联的SSB数量为1/2,频域上复用的RO数量为2时,则PRACH周期可以如图4b所示。可理解,图4b示例性示出了两个PRACH周期。
可理解,以上所示的RO信息的内容仅为示例,不应将其理解为对本申请实施例的限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中,图3所示的方法包括步骤302。
302、网络设备发送第二配置信息。对应的,UE获取第二配置信息,该第二配置信息用于指示至少一个第一重复传输次数,至少一个第一重复传输次数包括第一目标重复传输次数。
第二配置信息所指示的至少一个第一重复传输次数还可以理解为:网络设备为UE配置的传输次数候选取值集合。例如,该至少一个第一重复传输次数为{n1、n2、……、nm},n1至nm均为正整数。如N属于n1至nm中的一个值。对于n1至nm的具体取值,本申请实施例不作限定。对于该至少一个第一重复传输次数的表述方式,本申请实施例也不作限定。例如,该至少一个第一重复传输次数为1至N。又例如,该至少一个第一重复传输次数为{1、2、4}。又例如,该至少一个第一重复传输次数为{1、2、3、4}。又例如,该至少一个 第一重复传输次数为{1、2、4、6}。又例如,该至少一个第一重复传输次数为{2、4、6、8}。又例如,该至少一个第一重复传输次数为{2、3、4、5、6、7、8}等,对于该至少一个第一重复传输次数的具体取值不再一一列举。
示例性的,网络设备可以通过SIB发送第二配置信息。或者,网络设备通过高层信令发送第二配置信息等,本申请实施例对于网络设备发送第二配置信息的具体形式不作限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中,目标RO组中包括的N个RO对应的资源在时域上是连续的,该目标RO组为至少一个RO组中的一个RO组,该至少一个RO组根据RO信息和N得到。目标RO组用于发送第一消息。至少一个RO组和目标RO组的确定方法可参见下文。示例性的,图3所示的方法还包括步骤303。
303、UE根据N和RO信息进行RO分组,获得至少一个RO组,至少一个RO组包括目标RO组。
每个RO组中包括的N个RO对应的资源在时域上是连续的。在步骤303之前,UE可以确定N。示例性的,UE可以将第二配置信息中所指示的至少一个第一重复传输次数中取值最大的第一重复传输次数确定为目标RO组中包括的RO数量。如可以由协议规定或者网络设备与UE双方约定以网络设备配置的至少一个第一重复传输次数中取值最大的第一重复传输次数作为N值。在另一种可能的实现方式中,网络可以通过高层信令配置N的取值。示例性的,高层信令例如可以为无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令。
在确定N之后,UE可以基于N值以及RO信息对RO进行分组,从而获得至少一个RO组。如UE可以以时域上连续N个RO为一个RO组,从而获得至少一个RO组。在目标RO组中包括的RO数量与至少一个第一重复传输次数中取值最大的第一重复传输次数的取值相同的情况下,这种RO分组方式可以让UE在RO组上使用网络配置的至少一个第一重复传输次数中任意一个第一重复传输次数取值发送Msg1。在N的取值为网络通过高层信令配置的情况下,这种RO分组方式下,UE在RO组上进行Msg1发送时,所采用的第一重复传输次数取值不能大于网络指示的N值。
本申请实施例所示的RO组可以满足如下至少一项:
1、网络设备实际发送的SSB候选集中的每个SSB与RO组具有对应的关系。即网络设备实际发送的SSB候选集中的每个SSB都与上述至少一个RO组中的一个或者多个RO组关联。例如,一个RO组可以对应一个SSB。又例如,一个RO组可以对应多个SSB。例如,本申请实施例所示的目标RO组可以对应至少一个SSB(假设为M个SSB,M为大于0的整数),M个SSB包括目标SSB,M个SSB为网络设备实际发送的SSB候选集中的SSB。可理解,一个RO组对应的SSB数可以由协议中的SSB-perRACH-occasion这个参数确定,或者在系统信息或者RRC信令中额外引入一个参数指示一个RO组对应的SSB数。可理解,关于目标SSB的说明可以参考上文,这里不再一一详述。示例性的,参见下文中的表1b,假设上述至少一个RO组包括RO组1、RO组2和RO组3,其中,RO组3对应一个SSB(即SSB4),RO组1对应多个SSB(即SSB0、SSB1和SSB2),RO组2对应多个SSB(即SSB2和SSB3)。
2、上述至少一个RO组为SSB与RO的关联周期内的RO组。例如,在一个SSB与 RO的关联周期内,网络设备实际发送的SSB候选集中的每个SSB与RO组具有对应关系。也就是说,在一个SSB与RO的关联周期内,网络设备配置的所有实际发送的SSB都会关联到一个或多个RO组。
3、至少一个RO组先按照频域资源的索引(即RO组的频域资源的索引)升序排序;然后按照时域资源的索引(即RO组的时域资源的索引)升序排序。
示例性的,假设RO组具有索引,且排序越靠前的RO组的索引越小,则排序之后的至少一个RO组的时频资源位置可参见图5a。需要说明的是,至少一个RO组也可以先按照时域资源的索引升序排序,再按照频域资源的索引升序排序,或其他排序方式进行排序,本申请不作限制,下文中均以至少一个RO组先按照频域资源的索引升序排序,再按照时域资源的索引升序排序为例进行描述。
本申请实施例中,通过将至少一个RO组按照以上所示的顺序排列,可使得该至少一个RO组中的每个RO组都能够按照以上所示的顺序与SSB进行映射。至于,该SSB的排列顺序可以参考下文。
4、在SSB候选集中的SSB和至少一个RO组映射时,按照SSB候选集中的SSB的索引从小到大的顺序映射。
根据以上所示的至少一个RO组的排序方式,以及SSB候选集中的SSB的排序方式,可使得UE能够基于上述RO组的排列方式以及SSB的排列方式,快速地获知RO组与SSB的对应关系,从而在确定出目标SSB之后,便可以获取与该目标SSB对应的目标RO组。进而,通过目标RO组发送Msg1。示例性的,RO组与SSB的映射关系可以包括:网络设备实际发送的SSB候选集中的SSB按照SSB的索引从小到大的顺序与排序后的至少一个RO组从前至后的顺序依次对应。例如,假设至少一个RO组包括3个RO组,分别为RO组1、RO组2和RO组3,网络设备实际发送的SSB有3个,分别为SSB0、SSB1和SSB2,则经过对应之后,可以RO组1对应SSB0,RO组2对应SSB1、RO组3对应SSB2。再例如,假设至少一个RO组为6个RO组,即RO组1至RO组6,网络设备实际发送的SSB有3个,分别为SSB0、SSB1和SSB2,每个RO组对应2个SSB,则经过对应之后,可以RO组1和RO组2对应SSB0,RO组3和RO组4对应SSB1、RO组5和RO组6对应SSB2。
需要说明的是,在SSB候选集中的SSB和至少一个RO组映射时,也可以按照SSB候选集中的SSB的索引从大到小的顺序映射,本申请不作限制。示例性的,每个RO组对应的SSB的个数可以由以下方式中的一个或多个确定:
方式1:每个RO组对应的SSB个数可以由协议中的SSB-perRACH-occasion确定。
方式2:网络设备通过高层参数(例如SSB-perRACH-occasion group)配置每个RO组对应的SSB个数(即引入一个高层参数用于指示每个RO组对应的SSB个数)
方式3:如过高层配置了每个RO组对应的SSB个数(例如SSB-perRACH-occasion group)则采用高层配的,如果没有配置,则根据协议中的SSB-perRACH-occasion确定。
5、目标RO组对应M个SSB,M个SSB包括目标SSB,M个SSB为第二通信装置发送的SSB候选集中的SSB。
6、在M个SSB和目标RO组对应的前导码索引映射时,按照目标RO组对应的前导 码索引的升序映射。
示例性的,如表1b所示,UE获得的排序后的至少一个RO组包括RO组1、RO组2和RO组3,UE获得的排序后的SSB包括SSB0至SSB4,则依据以上所示的映射关系,RO组1可以对应SSB0、SSB1和SSB2、RO组2可以对应SSB2和SSB3、RO组3可以对应SSB4。以RO组1为例,由于其对应了三个SSB,因此可以根据RO组对应的前导码索引从小到大的顺序依次与SSB0、SSB1和SSB2对应,如索引为0-15的前导码可以与SSB0对应,索引为16-31的前导码可以与SSB1对应,索引为32-47的前导码可以与SSB2对应。可理解,表1b所示的SSB、RO组以及前导码之间的关系示例,不应将其理解为对本申请实施例的限定。
表1b
本申请实施例所示的一个RO组与一个前导码所组成的资源可以称为一个PRACH资源组,此时,一个PRACH资源组可以表示UE发送Msg1所采用的时频资源以及前导码索引(或前导码序列)。示例性的,参见表1b,RO组1和索引为0-15的前导码可以组成16个PRACH资源组。
上述映射过程可以综合描述为:
首先:针对对应同一个RO组的不同的PRACH资源组,按照PRACH资源组对应的前导码的索引进行升序排列。
然后:在频域上按照频域资源索引升序对频域上复用的RO组进行排序。
最后:在时域上按照时域资源索引升序对时域上复用的RO组进行排序。
根据以上所示的方法对PRACH资源组(即RO组和前导码)进行排序后,然后按照SSB的索引从小到大依次与PRACH资源组进行映射。
例如,图5a和图5b是本申请实施例提供的一种RO的分组情况示意图。如图5a所示,以N的取值等于6为例,则UE对RO进行分组后,得到的至少一个RO组如图5a所示。可理解,图5a仅示例性示出了八个RO组(如图5a所示的RO组1至RO组8,即按照先频域后时域的顺序排序后的RO组),不应将其理解为对本申请实施例的限定。将RO组与网络设备实际发送的SSB候选集中的SSB对应,则依据SSB的索引升序顺序,则图5a所示的八个RO组与SSB的映射关系可以如图5b所示,此时,由于一个SSB(例如,SSB1)对应一个RO组(例如,RO组1),因此,SSB1与全部PRACH资源组具有映射关系,此处的全部的PRACH资源组是指RO组1和全部前导码组成的PRACH资源组。可理解,图5b未示出RO组的标识,如RO组1与SSB1对应,RO组2与SSB2对应,以此类推。 如图5b所示,一个RO组关联一个SSB,且频域上复用了4个RO资源,网络设备实际发送的SSB个数可以为8个。可理解,图5b是以一个SSB对应一个RO组为例示出的,不应将其理解为对本申请实施例的限定。可理解,图5b所示的八个SSB仅为示例,不应将其理解为对本申请实施例的限定。
再例如,假设网络设备实际发送的SSB候选集中的SSB包括SSB0至SSB5,至少一个RO组包括RO组1至RO组3(RO组1至RO组3的时频资源位置的确定可参见上文),SSB0和SSB1与RO组1对应,SSB2和SSB3与RO组2对应,SSB4和SSB5与RO组3对应,则经过映射之后,SSB与PRACH资源组的映射关系可参见表1c。
表1c
304、UE根据目标RO组和第一目标重复传输次数发送第一消息。对应的,网络设备接收该第一消息。
其中,第一目标重复传输次数表示第一消息的重复传输次数,目标RO组对应目标SSB,目标RO组根据RO信息得到。关于第一目标重复传输次数、目标SSB和目标RO组的说明可以参考上文,这里不再一一详述。UE划分RO组的具体说明可以参考上文,这里不再一一详述。
可理解,本申请实施例所示的第一消息可以包括消息1(如Msg1)或随机接入前导码。关于Msg1的其他说明可以参考图2,这里不再一一详述。
示例性的,UE在发送Msg1时,根据SSB的测量结果(如SSB对应的RSRP大小)确定一个接收信号质量大于预设阈值(如RSRP大于预设阈值)的SSB作为目标SSB。然后根据SSB与RO组的映射关系,确定出目标SSB所对应的目标RO组以及与目标SSB对应的前导码序列索引的范围。之后,UE可以在目标SSB所对应的前导码序列索引的范围随机选择一个前导码索引对应的序列作为目标前导(Preamble)码。举例来说,如表1b所示,当UE确定SSB0作为目标SSB后,根据表1b所示的对应关系可以确定目标RO组为RO组1,再从该目标SSB对应的索引为0-15的前导码中选择一个前导码作为目标前导码(携带在第一消息中的前导码)。然后根据UE与网络设备之间的信号质量、星历信息、 GNSS定位信息等确定合适的第一目标重复传输次数(也可以称为PRACH重复传输次数),最后基于确定的目标RO组和第一目标重复传输次数发送目标前导码(携带在第一消息中)。再例如,如表1b所示,当UE确定SSB0作为目标SSB后,RO组1和索引为0-15的前导码可以组成16个PRACH资源组,目标SSB与该16个PRACH资源组对应,UE可以确定目标SSB对应的16个PRACH资源组中的一个PRACH资源组作为目标PRACH资源组,然后根据UE与网络设备之间的信号质量、星历信息、GNSS定位信息等确定合适的第一目标重复传输次数,最后基于确定的目标PRACH资源组对应的RO组和第一目标重复传输次数发送目标PRACH资源组对应的前导码(携带在第一消息中)。可理解,关于UE确定第一目标重复传输次数的说明可以参考上文关于第一目标重复传输次数的描述,这里不再一一详述。
可理解,UE所确定的第一目标重复传输次数不会大于RO组中所包括的RO数。最后,UE根据所确定的第一目标重复传输次数在所确定的目标RO组中选择RO进行Msg1的发送。UE确定第一目标重复传输次数后,在所确定的目标RO组中如何选择RO进行Msg1的发送,有如下两种方式:
方式1:预定定义规则或由网络设备配置。例如规定UE利用目标RO组前S个RO发送Msg1,其中S为UE确定的第一目标重复传输次数。
方式2:基于UE实现来选择目标RO组中的S个RO发送Msg1,其中S为UE确定的第一目标重复传输次数。
例如,S=4时,表示UE向网络设备发送Msg1的次数为4次。此时,UE在目标RO组中的N个RO中选择S个RO重复发送Msg1。该情况下,网络设备接收到Msg1的次数也可以是4次。由此,可实现Msg1的重复传输以增强UE发送Msg1的覆盖范围。可理解,本申请实施例所示的衡量UE与网络设备之间的信号质量可以用RSRP衡量,或者用参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality,RSRQ)衡量等,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可理解,当网络设备接收到第一消息之后,可以根据该第一消息所在的RO组(即目标RO组)确定目标SSB。若目标RO组对应多个SSB,则可以进一步结合接收到的前导码确定标SSB。从而,根据该目标SSB获知网络设备与UE之间信号质量较好的波束,进而根据该目标SSB发送第二消息(如图6所示)。例如,网络设备可以在所有的RO组上接收UE发送的第一消息,然后确定出其收到的第一消息所在RO组,从而确定目标SSB。然后根据目标SSB下发第二消息。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例所示的方法可以包括步骤301、步骤302、步骤303和步骤304。或者,本申请实施例所示的方法可以包括步骤301、步骤302和步骤304。例如,在UE已经获得了至少一个RO组的情况下,当UE再次发送第一消息时,该UE可以直接使用之前已经得到的至少一个RO组中的目标RO组中的RO发送第一消息。或者,本申请实施例所示的方法可以包括步骤301和步骤304。例如,第一目标重复传输次数和N均是由标准定义的情况下,图3所示的方法可以不包括步骤302。
本申请实施例中,通过目标SSB来确定用于发送第一消息的时频资源(即目标RO组),以及第一目标重复传输次数确定用于发送第一消息的重复传输次数,可以合理地实现终端 设备上行的重复传输,有效地实现上行覆盖增强。
图6是本申请实施例提供的另一种通信方法的流程示意图。该方法所应用的通信系统可以参考图1a和/或图1b,这里不再一一详述。如图6所示,该方法包括:
601、网络设备发送第一配置信息,第一配置信息包括RO信息。对应的,UE接收该第一配置信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,图6所示的方法可以包括步骤602。
602、网络设备发送第二配置信息。对应的,UE获取第二配置信息。该第二配置信息用于指示至少一个第一重复传输次数,至少一个第一重复传输次数包括第一目标重复传输次数。
在一种可能的实现方式中,图6所示的方法可以包括步骤603。
603、UE根据N和RO信息进行RO分组,获得至少一个RO组,至少一个RO组包括目标RO组。
604、UE根据目标RO组和第一目标重复传输次数发送第一消息。对应的,网络设备接收该第一消息。
可理解,关于步骤601至步骤604的说明可以参考图3,这里不再一一详述。示例性的,关于步骤601的说明可以参考图3所示的步骤301,关于步骤602的说明可以参考图3所示的步骤302,关于步骤603的说明可以参考图3所示的步骤303,关于步骤604的说明可以参考图3所示的步骤304。
605、网络设备向UE发送第二消息,对应的,UE接收来自网络设备的第二消息。
本申请实施例中,第一消息可以承载于目标RO组上,该目标RO组中包括的RO数量为N,该N为大于0的整数。当网络设备接收到第一消息时,根据该第一消息所承载的RO组确定目标SSB。从而,通过该目标SSB发送第二消息。
示例性的,第二消息包括消息2(Msg2),即随机接入响应消息。关于Msg2的说明可以参考图2,这里不再一一详述。示例性的,UE可以接收由DCI调度的Msg2,即UE发送完Msg1之后需要监听物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)以获取Msg2的调度信息(如DCI),然后根据调度信息(如DCI)接收Msg2。
606、UE根据第二目标重复传输次数发送第三消息,第二目标重复传输次数表示第三消息的重复传输次数,第二目标重复传输次数与第一目标重复传输次数对应。对应的,网络设备接收第三消息。
示例性的,UE可以根据与第一目标重复传输次数对应的至少一个第二重复传输次数确定第二目标重复传输次数。与第一目标重复传输次数对应的至少一个第二重复传输次数可以由标准预先定义,或者由高层信令配置,或者,网络设备通过第三配置信息配置给UE。
在一种可能的实现方式中,可以由标准预先定义第一重复传输次数与第二重复传输次数的对应关系,即由标准预先定义与每个第一重复传输次数对应的至少一个第二重复传输次数。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,步骤606之前,图6所示的方法还包括:网络设备发送第三配置信息,第三配置信息用于配置至少一个第一重复传输次数中每个第一重复传输次 数与第二重复传输次数的对应关系,每个第一重复传输次数的取值对应至少一个第二重复传输次数。即网络设备可以通过第三配置信息配置每个第一重复传输次数的取值对应的至少一个第二重复传输次数。对应的,UE接收该第三配置信息。可理解,以上所示的第一重复传输次数包括第一目标重复传输次数。
可理解,根据上述与每个第一重复次数对应的至少一个第二重复传输次数,UE便可以获知与第一目标重复传输次数对应的至少一个第二重复传输次数。即UE获取到每个第一重复传输次数对应的至少一个第二重复传输次数之后,以及UE从第二配置信息所指示的至少一个第一重复传输次数中确定第一目标重复传输次数之后,根据该第一目标重复传输次数所对应的至少一个第二重复传输次数确定与该第一目标重复传输次数对应的至少一个第二重复传输次数。
在又一种可能的实现方式中,步骤606之前,图6所示的方法还包括:网络设备向UE发送指示信息,UE接收指示信息,该指示信息用于指示第一目标重复传输次数对应的至少一个第二重复传输次数中的第二目标重复传输次数。
以上所示的指示信息可以通过以下方式实现:
第一种,通过Msg2携带指示信息。如网络设备可以在Msg2中携带指示信息,UE根据该指示信息确定第二目标重复传输次数。例如,指示信息可以用于指示第一目标重复传输次数对应的第二目标重复传输次数。又例如,指示信息可以用于指示第一目标重复传输次数对应的多个第二重复传输次数,从而UE可以从该多个第二重复传输次数中确定一个第二重复传输次数作为第二目标重复传输次数。
第二种,通过DCI携带,UE可以根据调度Msg2的DCI中的调制编码方案指示比特域,从与第一目标重复传输次数对应的至少一个传输次数中确定第二目标重复传输次数。示例性的,UE可以根据调度Msg2的DCI 1-0中的调制编码方案指示比特域,从与第一目标重复传输次数对应的至少一个传输次数中确定第二目标重复传输次数(即在PRACH重复传输次数对应的多个Msg3重复传输次数候选值确定一个Msg3重复传输次数作为第二目标重复传输次数)。
举例来说,第二配置信息所指示的至少一个第一重复传输次数为{1、2、4},UE确定的第一目标重复传输次数为2,与该第一目标重复传输次数对应的至少一个第二重复传输次数为{2、3、4、6},则表示UE可以从候选值{2、3、4、6}中确定一个第二目标重复传输次数。又如UE确定的第一目标重复传输次数为4,则与该第一目标重复传输次数对应的至少一个第二重复传输次数为{4、6、8、10},则表示UE可以从候选值为{4、6、8、10}中确定一个第二目标重复传输次数。也就是说,可以预先定义每个第一重复传输次数对应的Msg3(或PUSCH)的重复传输次数候选值。
例如,PRACH重复传输次数(即第一重复传输次数)与Msg3重复传输次数(即与第一重复传输次数对应的第二重复传输次数)之间的映射关系,如表2所示。UE根据已配置的第一目标重复传输次数值,确定Msg3重复传输次数候选值。可理解,表2所示的内容可以由标准预先定义,或者,由网络设备预先配置等,本申请实施例对此不作限定。示例性的,从表2可以看出,本申请实施例中通过将第一重复传输次数与第二重复传输次数对应,可以使得UE根据其确定的第一目标重复传输次数获取第二目标重复传输次数的候 选值。从而,相对于UE获取所有的第二重复传输次数来说,本申请实施例所示的指示信息可以通过较少的比特实现更多值的指示,如通过指示第一目标重复传输次数对应的第二重复传输次数就可以使得UE确定第二目标重复传输次数,有效减少了信令开销。
表2
PRACH重复传输次数 Msg3(PUSCH)重复传输次数候选值
1 1,2,3,4
2 2,3,4,6
4 4,6,8,10
UE从与第一目标重复传输次数对应的至少一个第二重复传输次数中确定第二目标重复传输次数的方法可以如下所示:
第一、UE可以随机从第一目标重复传输次数对应的至少一个第二重复传输次数中确定第二目标重复传输次数。
第二、UE可以基于其与网络设备之间的信号质量从第一目标重复传输次数对应的至少一个第二重复传输次数中确定第二目标重复传输次数。
第三、UE可以基于星历信息从第一目标重复传输次数对应的至少一个第二重复传输次数中确定第二目标重复传输次数。
第四、UE可以基于位置信息从第一目标重复传输次数对应的至少一个第二重复传输次数中确定第二目标重复传输次数。又例如,UE可以基于星历信息和GNSS从第一目标重复传输次数对应的至少一个第二重复传输次数中确定第二目标重复传输次数。可理解,关于UE从第一目标重复传输次数对应的至少一个第二重复传输次数中确定第二目标重复传输次数的方法可以参考UE确定第一目标重复传输次数的描述,这里不再一一详述。
可理解,表1b所示的PRACH重复传输次数的取值仅为示例,以及与PRACH重复传输次数对应的Msg3重复传输次数仅为示例,不应将其理解为对本申请实施例的限定。
可理解,以上是以一个第一重复传输次数对应多个第二重复传输次数为例示出的。然而,本申请实施例中,还可以有如下方案:如一个第一重复传输次数对应一个第二重复传输次数,该情况下,UE可以根据第一目标重复传输次数对应的一个第二重复传输次数直接确定第二目标重复传输次数。即第二目标重复传输次数为与第一目标重复传输次数对应的一个第二重复传输次数。也就是说,当一个PRACH重复传输次数值对应一个Msg3重复传输次数候选值时,则UE直接根据已确定的PRACH重复传输次数值(即第一目标重复传输次数)确定Msg3重复传输次数候选值(即第二目标重复传输次数)。
607、网络设备向UE发送第四消息,对应的,UE接收来自网络设备的第四消息。
示例性的,第四消息可以包括Msg4或冲突解决消息。关于Msg4的说明可以参考图2,这里不再一一详述。
本申请实施例中,通过目标SSB确定用于发送第一消息的时频资源(即目标RO组),以及确定用于发送第一消息的重复传输次数(即第一目标重复传输次数),可以合理地实现终端设备上行的重复传输,有效地实现上行覆盖增强。进一步的,通过将每个第一目标 重复传输次数都对应一个或多个传输次数,从而将每个第一目标重复传输次数对应的一个或多个传输次数作为第二目标重复传输次数的候选值,不仅可以通过较少的比特实现更多值的指示,减少信令开销,而且基于第二目标重复传输次数合理地实现了终端设备上行的重复传输。
可理解,以上所示的各个实施例中,其中一个实施例未详细描述的实现方式,可以参考其他实施例。
以下将介绍本申请实施例提供的通信装置。
