no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0073]

[0074] First, the first embodiment will be described. refer to Figure 5A , B, explain the basic actions in this embodiment. In addition, in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, it is assumed that the radio communication system operates by TDD, but FDD may also be used.

[0075] In this embodiment, the eNB can form multiple downlink beams. In addition, it is assumed that an index is assigned to each beam (hereinafter, a beam with an index of 1 is described as beam 1, etc.).

[0076] In addition, in this embodiment, the eNB transmits a beam selection signal through each beam, so that the UE can select an appropriate downlink beam. The beam selection signal is, for example, a synchronization signal (for example: PSS, SSS), a broadcast signal (for example: a signal sent via PBCH), system information (for example: SIB), a reference signal (for example: CRS, CSI-RS) or one of them any combination of multiples.

[0077] The beam selection signal for each b...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0126] Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, the UE transmits the RACH preamble (preamble) multiple times according to the set transmission resource pattern (pattern) without waiting for the RACH response (response). The eNB applies different reception beamforming to receive the RACH preamble (preamble) each time.

[0127] The eNB and UE may have the functions of the second embodiment in addition to the functions of the first embodiment, or may have the functions of the second embodiment instead of the functions of the first embodiment. Hereinafter, it will be described that the eNB and the UE additionally have the functions in the second embodiment in addition to the functions in the first embodiment, and which function can be switched to be used. The eNB and UE described below assume that they have the functions described in the first embodiment.

[0128] In the second embodiment, the RACH transmission mode is determined as the mode when th...

Abstract

In a wireless communication system comprising a base station and a user equipment, the user equipment, which communicates with the base station, is provided with: a storage unit which stores association information that associates identifiers of beams formed by the base station and configuration information for use in transmission of a random access signal; a selection unit which selects a specific beam on the basis of reception quality of a signal transmitted from the base station by multiple different beams, and which, on the basis of the association information, selects configuration information corresponding to said specific beam; and a transmission unit which uses the configuration information selected by the selection unit to transmit a random access signal to the base station.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a random access procedure performed between a user equipment and a base station in a mobile communication system. Background technique [0002] 5G, the next-generation mobile communication system, aims to widen the frequency band by using higher frequencies than existing frequencies. However, at high frequencies, radio wave propagation loss increases, so in order to compensate for this, beamforming using Massive MIMO (Massive MIMO using many antennas) is being studied. [0003] Beamforming is a technique for giving directionality to a transmission (reception) beam by controlling the amplitude and phase of each signal in a plurality of (plural) transmission (reception) antennas. By narrowing the beam width, high gain can be obtained. [0004] like figure 1 As shown, a base station eNB having a Massive MIMO (Massive MIMO) function can perform beamforming with a narrow beam width, and coverage of the user equipment UE c...
