Description

A random access method and communication device Technical field

The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular, to a random access method and communication device.

Background technique

In the uplink random access process of the millimeter wave system, the access network equipment (such as the base station) generates different receiving beams in different beam scanning time slots within a beam scanning cycle, and the terminal equipment selects one of the beam scanning time slots to access the system. The network equipment sends a preamble for scheduling-free random access, that is, the terminal equipment selects a beam and uses the beam to send a preamble to the access network equipment for scheduling-free random access. In the existing random access framework of millimeter wave systems, the random access success rate of users in certain beam scanning time slots is low, that is, the random access success rate of users who use certain beams for random access is Low. Therefore, how to improve the success rate of random access for users is an issue that needs to be solved urgently.

The preamble sequence types corresponding to each beam can be flexibly configured according to the actual situation to improve the user random access success rate. For example, a preamble generated based on a ZC sequence can be sent to a beam with a small number of access users. For beams with a large number of access users, preambles generated based on PN sequences can be sent. Since the number of PN sequences is large, collisions of preambles of different users can be avoided, resulting in random access failures for users. For another example, a preamble generated based on a PN sequence can be sent to a beam with a smaller channel fading coefficient. For beams with large channel fading coefficients, preambles generated based on the ZC sequence can be sent. Since the ZC sequence has good orthogonality, it is beneficial to improve the success rate of user random access.

301. The network device determines the preamble sequence type corresponding to each beam in the multiple beams.

The multiple beams in step 301 are all beams generated within one beam scanning period. One beam scanning cycle has multiple beam scanning time units, and each beam scanning time unit generates a beam. Determining the preamble sequence type corresponding to each beam in the plurality of beams can also be understood as determining the preamble sequence type corresponding to each beam scanning time unit within a beam scanning period. That is, the beam in the application embodiment can also be replaced by a beam scanning time unit.

The preamble sequence types corresponding to different beams determined by the network device may be the same or different. Optionally, the preamble sequence type includes a pseudo-noise (PN) sequence type and a Zadoff-Chu (zadoff-chu, ZC) sequence type. Optionally, the preamble sequence type may also include other sequence types, which is not limited in the embodiment of this application.

For example, assume that there are three beams in total, namely beam 1 to beam 3. Among them, the network device determines that beam 1 to beam 3 all correspond to the PN sequence type. Alternatively, the network device determines that the preamble sequence type corresponding to beam 1 is a PN sequence type, the preamble sequence type corresponding to beam 2 is a ZC sequence type, and the preamble sequence type corresponding to beam 3 is a PN sequence type. Each beam has a corresponding relationship with the preamble sequence type.

In a possible implementation, the specific implementation method for the network device to determine the preamble sequence type corresponding to each beam in the multiple beams is: determining the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient corresponding to each beam in the multiple beams; The number of access users corresponding to each beam in the plurality of beams; the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient corresponding to each beam in the plurality of beams and the access users corresponding to each beam in the plurality of beams quantity to determine the preamble sequence type corresponding to each beam in the plurality of beams. Based on this possible implementation, the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient corresponding to the beam and the number of access users can be integrated to flexibly determine the preamble sequence type corresponding to the beam, which is beneficial to improving the success rate of user random access.

The statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient corresponding to the beam can be understood as the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient used for transmission using the beam. Among them, the channel fading coefficient is an element in the channel matrix, and the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient can be a probability distribution of the channel fading coefficient. The number of access users corresponding to a beam refers to the number of users using this beam for random access.

For example, assume that there are three beams, namely beam 1 to beam 3. The network device can determine the preamble sequence type corresponding to beam 1 based on the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient corresponding to beam 1 and the number of access users corresponding to beam 1. The network device may determine the preamble sequence type corresponding to beam 2 based on the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient corresponding to beam 2 and the number of access users corresponding to beam 2. The network device can determine the preamble sequence type corresponding to beam 3 based on the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient corresponding to beam 3 and the number of access users corresponding to beam 3.

In another possible implementation, the network device may not determine the preamble sequence type corresponding to the beam based on the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient corresponding to the beam and the number of access users. The network device may flexibly determine based on other parameters. The type of preamble sequence corresponding to the beam is not limited in the embodiment of this application.

In a possible implementation, the network device determines the plurality of channel fading coefficients based on statistical distribution information of channel fading coefficients corresponding to each beam in the plurality of beams and the number of access users corresponding to each beam in the plurality of beams. The specific implementation method of the preamble sequence type corresponding to each beam in the beam is: based on the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient corresponding to the t-th beam and the number of access users, it is determined that the random access message received by the t-th beam includes: The signal-to-noise ratio when using preambles of different preamble sequence types; based on the signal-to-noise ratio when the random access message received by the t-th beam includes preambles of different preamble sequence types, determine the preamble sequence corresponding to the t-th beam Type, the t-th beam is any beam among multiple beams. The preamble sequence type corresponding to the beam determined based on this possible implementation method is beneficial to improving the success rate of user random access.

For example, assume that the preamble sequence type includes a PN sequence type and a ZC sequence type. It has three beams, namely beam 1 to beam 3. For beam 1, the network device can determine the signal-to-noise ratio 11 for beam 1 to receive the first random access message based on the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient corresponding to beam 1 and the number of access users corresponding to beam 1, and determine the signal-to-noise ratio 11 for beam 1 to receive the first random access message. The signal-to-noise ratio of two random access messages is 12. The first random access message includes a preamble generated based on a preamble sequence of the PN sequence type. The second random access message includes a preamble generated based on a preamble sequence of the ZC sequence type. Preamble. The network device determines the preamble sequence type corresponding to beam 1 based on the signal-to-noise ratio 11 and the signal-to-noise ratio 12. The method of determining the preamble sequence type corresponding to other beams is the same as the method of determining the preamble sequence type corresponding to beam 1, and will not be described again here.

In a possible implementation, the preamble sequence type corresponding to the t-th beam is the preamble sequence type corresponding to the preamble included in the random access message with a target signal-to-noise ratio, and the target signal-to-noise ratio is the preamble sequence type corresponding to the t-th beam. Among the signal-to-noise ratios, the signal-to-noise ratio is greater than the first threshold, or the target signal-to-noise ratio is the largest signal-to-noise ratio among the signal-to-noise ratios corresponding to the t-th beam. The preamble sequence type corresponding to the beam determined based on this possible implementation method is beneficial to improving the success rate of user random access.

For example, assuming that the signal-to-noise ratio 11 is greater than the first threshold and the signal-to-noise ratio 12 is less than the first threshold, the network device determines that beam 1 corresponds to the PN sequence type.

For another example, assuming that the signal-to-noise ratio 11 is greater than the signal-to-noise ratio 12, the network device determines that beam 1 corresponds to the PN sequence type.

In a possible implementation, the signal-to-noise ratio when the random access message received by the t-th beam includes a preamble of the i-th preamble sequence type is SNR _t ; where:

in,

Represents an index set of N _t users that are randomly accessed through the t-th beam without scheduling. The index set of N _t users is determined based on the number of access users corresponding to the t-th beam;

Represents the channel fading coefficient of the l-th transmission path of the n-th user,

Determined based on the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient corresponding to the t-th beam; γ _{n, n′} represents the cross-correlation coefficient between the n-th user and the n′-th user preamble;

represents the hybrid beamforming matrix of the tth beam,

Represents the channel corresponding vector of the n-th user for the t-th beam;

Represents the preamble sequence of the i-th preamble sequence type of the n-th user; x _n′ indicates the preamble sequence of the i-th preamble sequence type of the n′-th user; Z _t is the signal received by the t-th beam interference and noise. Based on this possible implementation, the signal-to-noise ratio when the random access message received by the t-th beam includes a preamble of the i-th preamble sequence type can be accurately determined.

In a possible implementation, the specific implementation manner in which the network device determines the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient corresponding to each beam in the plurality of beams and the number of access users corresponding to each beam in the plurality of beams is as follows : The network device determines the angle of arrival of the user signal within the preset time period and the channel fading coefficient on the path corresponding to the angle of arrival; the network device determines the angle of arrival of the user signal within the preset time period and the channel on the path corresponding to the angle of arrival. The fading coefficient determines the statistical distribution information of the angle of arrival within the preset time period and the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient within the preset time period; the network device is based on the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient within the preset time period. , determine the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient corresponding to each beam in the plurality of beams; the network device is based on the statistical distribution information of the angle of arrival within the preset time period and the statistical distribution of the channel fading coefficient within the preset time period. Information to determine the number of access users corresponding to each beam in multiple beams. Based on this possible implementation, the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient corresponding to each beam in the multiple beams and the number of access users corresponding to each beam in the multiple beams can be accurately determined.

The preset time period may be one beam scanning period or multiple beam scanning periods.

For example, take the preset time period as a beam scanning period. The specific implementation method for the network device to determine the angle of arrival of each user signal in the t-th beam scanning time unit and the channel fading coefficient on the path corresponding to the arrival angle may be: the uplink received by the network device in the t-th beam scanning time unit road signal

The arrival angle of each user signal, and the fading coefficient on the path corresponding to the arrival angle. Based on the angle of arrival of each user signal within a beam scanning period and the channel fading coefficient on the path corresponding to the arrival angle, the network device determines the statistical distribution information of the angle of arrival and the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient within a beam scanning period. The network device determines the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient corresponding to each beam in the plurality of beams based on the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient within a beam scanning period. The network device determines the number of access users corresponding to each beam in the multiple beams based on the statistical distribution information of the angle of arrival and the statistical distribution information of the channel fading coefficient within a beam scanning period.

302. The network device sends first information to the terminal device, where the first information is used to configure the preamble sequence type corresponding to each beam in the plurality of beams. Correspondingly, the terminal device can receive the first information.

In this embodiment of the present application, the network device may send the first information to one or more terminal devices. Optionally, the first information may be carried in a broadcast channel.

303. The terminal device sends a random access message through the first beam among the plurality of beams. The random access message includes a target preamble, the target preamble is generated based on the target preamble sequence, and the type of the target preamble sequence is the first Preamble sequence type, the first preamble sequence type is the preamble sequence type corresponding to the first beam. Correspondingly, the network device may receive the random access message through the first beam.

In this embodiment of the present application, after receiving the first information, the terminal device selects a first beam from multiple beams to send a random access message. Since the first beam corresponds to the first preamble sequence type, the terminal device selects a target preamble sequence from a plurality of preamble sequences belonging to the first preamble sequence type, and uses the target preamble sequence to generate the target preamble. The terminal device sends a random access message including the target preamble through the first beam.

The specific implementation method for the terminal device to use the target preamble sequence to generate the target preamble can be found in the corresponding description in Figure 2, and will not be described again here. Optionally, the target preamble can be a long preamble or a short preamble.

In a possible implementation, the first beam may be the beam with the highest received signal strength among the multiple beams. That is, the terminal device can measure the received signal strength of each beam in multiple beams, and select the beam with the highest received signal strength from the multiple beams as the first beam.

In a possible implementation, the first information is also used to indicate the preamble time-frequency resource location corresponding to each beam in the plurality of beams. Correspondingly, when the terminal device sends the random access message through the first beam, the target preamble is carried in the preamble time-frequency resource position corresponding to the first beam. Based on this possible implementation, the network device can indicate the time-frequency resource location of the preamble, thereby making the time-frequency resource location of the preamble more flexible.

Two possible implementation methods for determining the target preamble sequence are introduced below:

Method 1: Different preamble sequence types correspond to different preamble sequence sets. The preamble sequence set includes one or more preamble sequences. The target preamble sequence is a preamble sequence set corresponding to the first preamble sequence type. a randomly selected sequence. Based on this possible implementation, the network device does not need to notify the terminal device of the target preamble sequence through signaling, which is beneficial to saving transmission resources.

For example, assume that the preamble sequence type includes a PN sequence type and a ZC sequence type. The PN sequence type corresponds to preamble sequence set 1, and the ZC sequence type corresponds to preamble sequence set 2. Preamble sequence set 1 includes preambles of multiple PN sequence types. The preamble sequence set 2 includes preambles of multiple ZC sequence types. Assuming that the first beam corresponds to the PN sequence type, the terminal device can randomly select a preamble sequence from the preamble sequence set 1, generate a target preamble based on the preamble sequence, and then transmit the target preamble through the first beam. Random access messages.

Method 2: The network device may also send second information to the terminal device. The second information is used to configure the preamble sequence used by the terminal device when generating a target preamble based on preamble sequences of different preamble sequence types. Correspondingly, the terminal device can receive the second information. Based on the second method, it is beneficial to prevent the target preambles sent by different users using the first beam from colliding.

For example, assume that the preamble sequence type includes a PN sequence type and a ZC sequence type. The network device may send second information to the terminal device in advance. The second information indicates that when generating the target preamble based on the preamble sequence of the PN sequence type, use the preamble sequence 1 to generate the target preamble, and generate the target preamble based on the ZC sequence type. When the target preamble is used, preamble sequence 2 is used to generate the target preamble. If the first preamble sequence type corresponding to the first beam is a PN sequence type, the terminal device uses preamble sequence 1 to generate the target preamble. If the first preamble sequence type corresponding to the first beam is the ZC sequence type, the terminal device uses preamble sequence 2 to generate the target preamble.

It can be seen that based on the method described in Figure 3, the preamble sequence types corresponding to different beams are not always the same. The preamble sequence types corresponding to each beam can be flexibly configured according to the actual situation to improve the user random access success rate. For example, a preamble generated based on a ZC sequence can be sent to a beam with a small number of access users. For beams with a large number of access users, preambles generated based on PN sequences can be sent. Since the number of PN sequences is large, collisions of preambles of different users can be avoided, resulting in random access failures for users. For another example, a preamble generated based on a PN sequence can be sent to a beam with a smaller channel fading coefficient. For beams with large channel fading coefficients, preambles generated based on the ZC sequence can be sent. Since the ZC sequence has good orthogonality, it is beneficial to improve the success rate of user random access.
