[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of China on March 21, 2024, with application number 202410333638.0 and application name "A Communication Method and Device", the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0003] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a communication method and device. Background Art

[0004] Communication sequences are widely used in Long Term Evolution (LTE) and New Radio (NR) standard protocols. Common sequence evaluation metrics include autocorrelation, cross-correlation, sequence capacity, frequency offset robustness, peak-to-average power ratio, and dual-domain constant modulus.

[0005] Currently, in the LTE / NR protocol, the physical random access channel (PRACH) uses the ZC (Zadoff-Chu) sequence; the demodulation reference signal (DMRS), whose data is carried in the orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) waveform, uses the Gold sequence; the DMRS, whose data is carried in the discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM) waveform, uses the ZC sequence; the sounding reference signal (SRS) uses the ZC sequence; and the synchronization signal uses the m-sequence (primary synchronization signal) and the Gold sequence (secondary synchronization signal). The Gold sequence has a large sequence capacity but randomizes interference; the ZC sequence is an ideal Sarwate-bounded sequence with an autocorrelation function, but the ambiguity function has multimodal characteristics and limited sequence capacity.

[0006] With the development of communications, communication scenarios are constantly enriched and the scale continues to increase. There is an urgent need for a sequence that can be applied to multiple physical channels and physical signals to improve communication performance. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The embodiments of the present application provide a communication method and apparatus for improving communication performance.

[0008] In a first aspect, the present application provides a communication method, which can be applied to a first communication device, which can be a signal transmitter. The first communication device can be a terminal device, or can be a processor, chip, chip system, circuit, or functional module in the terminal device. Alternatively, the first communication device can be an access network device, or can be a processor, chip, chip system, circuit, or functional module in the access network device. The method can include: determining a first signal and transmitting the first signal. The first signal is determined based on a first sequence, which is determined based on a base sequence and an auxiliary sequence; the base sequence is an ideal autocorrelation function sequence, the auxiliary sequence is a cyclically shifted sequence, and the ambiguity function of the first sequence is equal to zero within the maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread range; or the base sequence is an optimal self-ambiguity function sequence, the auxiliary sequence is a quadratic polynomial exponential sequence, and the ambiguity function of the first sequence is less than or equal to an ambiguity function threshold within the maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread range.

[0009] Through the above communication method, the first sequence is constructed by using the base sequence and the auxiliary sequence, so that the first sequence can be used for multiple physical channels and physical signals, and then the first signal is transmitted based on the first sequence, which can improve communication performance.

[0010] In one possible design, the first sequence is determined based on the base sequence and the auxiliary sequence, satisfying:

[0011] in, is the first sequence, b u (n) is the base sequence, is the auxiliary sequence, N represents the length of the first sequence, Δ T represents the maximum delay spread, Δ F represents the maximum Doppler spread, u represents the base sequence number of the base sequence, and k and l are integers.

[0012] By constructing the first sequence through a unified expression, the first sequence can be used for multiple physical channels and physical signals, and then the first signal is transmitted based on the first sequence, which can simplify the communication protocol and improve communication performance.

[0013] In one possible design, the base sequence is an ideal autocorrelation function sequence that satisfies:

[0014] Alternatively, the base sequence is an optimal self-fuzzy function sequence that satisfies:

[0015] Among them, b u (n) is the base sequence, N represents the sequence length of the first sequence, P represents the maximum prime number not greater than the sequence length N, u represents the base sequence number of the base sequence, u∈{1,2,…,P-1}.

[0016] Through this design, a base sequence with wide-area zero ambiguity or global low ambiguity characteristics can be flexibly constructed, thereby further flexibly constructing a first sequence suitable for a variety of scenarios.

[0017] In one possible design, the auxiliary sequence satisfies:

[0018] in, is the auxiliary sequence, N represents the sequence length of the first sequence, P represents the maximum prime number not greater than the sequence length N, Δ T represents the maximum delay spread, Δ F represents the maximum Doppler spread, u represents the base sequence number of the base sequence, represents the auxiliary sequence number of the auxiliary sequence, represents the cyclic shift of the auxiliary sequence, k represents the auxiliary sequence number index, and l represents the cyclic shift index.

[0019] Through this design, an auxiliary sequence with large-capacity features in zero-ambiguity or low-ambiguity areas can be flexibly constructed, thereby obtaining a first sequence suitable for a variety of scenarios.

[0020] In one possible design, the first signal is a random access preamble sequence; and the first signal is determined based on the first sequence, including: the random access preamble sequence is the first sequence. In this way, the first sequence can be applied to a random access channel, thereby increasing the number of random access preambles and enabling the random access preamble to support various Doppler shifts.

[0021] In one possible design, when the ambiguity function of the first sequence is equal to zero within the maximum delay spread and the maximum Doppler spread range, the auxiliary sequence number of the auxiliary sequence is is equal to zero; the cyclic shift of the auxiliary sequence satisfy:

[0023] This design can ensure that the ambiguity function of the first sequence is equal to zero within the range of maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread, thus satisfying the zero ambiguity zone feature.

[0024] In one possible design, a first sequence set is determined, where the first sequence set is obtained by sequentially traversing cyclic shifts of the auxiliary sequence and a base sequence number of the base sequence; the first sequence set includes the first sequence. This can reduce collisions between random access preamble codes used between different cells, thereby reducing interference.

[0028] Through this design, the ambiguity function of the first sequence can be less than or equal to the ambiguity function threshold within the maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread range, meeting the low ambiguity zone characteristics.

[0029] In one possible design, a second sequence set is determined. The second sequence set is obtained by sequentially traversing the cyclic shift of the auxiliary sequence, the auxiliary sequence number of the auxiliary sequence, and the base sequence number of the base sequence. The second sequence set includes the first sequence. This can increase the capacity of the first sequence while minimizing interference between different sequences in the second sequence set.

[0030] In a possible design, the sequence length N of the first sequence is a prime number, and P is equal to the sequence length N. In this way, the maximum value of the mutual fuzzy function of any two first sequences satisfies the exponential sum theorem.

[0031] In one possible design, the first signal is a demodulation reference signal; when the base sequence is an ideal autocorrelation function sequence and the ambiguity function of the first sequence is equal to zero within the maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread range, the sequence capacity of the first sequence is positively correlated with the square of the sequence length of the first sequence; or, when the base sequence is an optimal self-ambiguity function sequence and the ambiguity function of the first sequence is less than or equal to the ambiguity function threshold within the maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread range, the sequence capacity of the first sequence is positively correlated with the cube of the sequence length of the first sequence. In this way, the sequence capacity and interference level of the demodulation reference signal can be configured according to different scenarios.

This allows the first sequence to be applied to the demodulation reference signal, improving the Doppler resistance performance of the demodulation reference signal and increasing the number of non-orthogonal demodulation reference signal ports.

[0082] The embodiments of the present application provide a communication method and apparatus for improving communication performance. The method and apparatus described in this application are based on the same technical concept. Since the method and apparatus solve similar problems, the implementation of the apparatus and method can refer to each other, and the repetitive parts will not be repeated.

[0083] In the description of this application, words such as "first" and "second" are only used for the purpose of distinguishing the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or order.

[0084] In the description of this application, "at least one" means one or more, and "more" means two or more. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b, or c can mean: a, b, c, a and b, a and c, b and c, or a, b, and c, where a, b, and c can be single or plural.

[0085] In the description of this application, "and / or" describes the relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. A and B can be singular or plural. " / " means "or", for example, a / b means a or b.

[0086] In order to more clearly describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the communication method and device provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0087] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various communication systems, such as universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS), wireless local area network (WLAN), wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) system, fourth generation (4G) mobile communication system (such as long term evolution (LTE) system), fifth generation (5G) mobile communication system (such as new radio (NR) system), and future evolved communication systems (such as sixth generation (6G) mobile communication system).

[0088] For example, FIG1 illustrates a schematic diagram of the architecture of a possible communication system applicable to embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG1 , the communication system 10 may include a radio access network (RAN) 100 and a core network (CN) 200. Optionally, the communication system 10 may also include the Internet 300.

[0089] The RAN 100 includes at least one RAN node (e.g., 110a and 110b in FIG. 1 , collectively referred to as 110) and at least one terminal device (e.g., 120a-120j in FIG. 1 , collectively referred to as 120). The RAN 100 may also include other RAN nodes, such as wireless relay devices and / or wireless backhaul devices (not shown in FIG. 1 ). The terminal device 120 is wirelessly connected to the RAN node 110. The RAN node 110 is wirelessly or wiredly connected to the core network 200. The core network devices in the core network 200 and the RAN node 110 in the RAN 100 may be separate physical devices, or they may be a single physical device that integrates core network logical functions and radio access network logical functions.

[0090] The RAN 100 may be a cellular system related to the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), such as a 4G or 5G mobile communication system, or a future-oriented evolutionary system (such as a 6G mobile communication system). The RAN 100 may also be an open access network (O-RAN or ORAN), a cloud radio access network (CRAN), or a WiFi system. The RAN 100 may also be a communication system that integrates two or more of the above systems.

[0091] The RAN node 110, sometimes also referred to as a RAN entity or access node, constitutes part of the communication system and facilitates wireless access for terminal devices. Multiple RAN nodes 110 in the communication system 10 can be of the same type or different types. In some scenarios, the roles of the RAN node 110 and the terminal device 120 are relative. For example, the network element 120i in Figure 1 can be a helicopter or drone, which can be configured as a mobile base station. For terminal 120j accessing the RAN 100 via network element 120i, network element 120i is a base station; however, for base station 110a, network element 120i is a terminal device. The RAN node 110 and the terminal device 120 are sometimes referred to as communication devices. For example, network elements 110a and 110b in Figure 1 can be understood as communication devices with base station functionality, and network elements 120a-120j can be understood as communication devices with terminal device functionality.

[0092] The RAN node may also be expressed in different ways, such as a network device. In this application, unless otherwise specified, the network device is used to express the node.

[0093] In one possible scenario, the network device may also be referred to as an access network device, and the access network device may be a base station, an evolved NodeB (eNodeB), an access point (AP), a transmission reception point (TRP), a next generation NodeB (gNB), a next generation base station in a 6G mobile communication system, a base station in a future mobile communication system, or an access node in a WiFi system, etc. The access network device may be a macro base station (such as 110a in Figure 1), a micro base station or an indoor station (such as 110b in Figure 1), a relay node or a donor node, or a wireless controller in a CRAN scenario. Optionally, the access network device may also be a server, a wearable device, a vehicle or an on-board device, etc. For example, the access network device in the vehicle to everything (V2X) technology may be a road side unit (RSU). All or part of the functions of the access network device in this application may also be implemented by software functions running on hardware, or by virtualization functions instantiated on a platform (such as a cloud platform). The access network device in this application may also be a logical node, a logical module or software that can implement all or part of the functions of the access network device.

[0094] In another possible scenario, multiple access network devices collaborate to assist terminal devices in achieving wireless access, and different access network devices respectively implement part of the functions of the base station. For example, the access network device can be a centralized unit (CU), a distributed unit (DU), a CU-control plane (CP), a CU-user plane (UP), or a radio unit (RU). The CU and DU can be set separately, or they can be included in the same network element, such as a baseband unit (BBU).

[0099] The following first explains the relevant terms or technologies involved in the embodiments of this application. It should be noted that these explanations are intended to make the embodiments of this application easier to understand and should not be regarded as limiting the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0100] 1) Fuzzy function

[0101] There are two types of ambiguity functions: auto-ambiguity function (AAF) and cross-ambiguity function (CAF).

[0102] Self-ambiguity function: refers to the inner product between signal #A and signal #B, where signal #B is the signal after signal #A is transformed by time delay and Doppler frequency shift.

[0103] Taking signal #A as sequence s(n) as an example, the self-fuzzy function of sequence s(n) satisfies the following formula:

[0104] Among them, A(τ,ν) represents the self-fuzzy function, s * [(n-τ)modN]e j2πnν / N represents the sequence s(n) after time delay and Doppler frequency shift (i.e., signal #B), N represents the sequence length, τ represents time delay, τ∈{0,1,…,N-1}, and ν represents Doppler frequency shift, ν∈{0,1,…,N-1}.

[0105] For the constant modulus sequence |s(n)|=1,n=0,1,…,N-1,the optimal self-fuzzy function sequence is defined as The operator ∨ ​​represents the conditional OR.

[0106] Mutual ambiguity function: refers to the inner product between signal #C and signal #B, where signal #B is the signal after signal #A is transformed by time delay and Doppler frequency shift, and signal #A and signal #C are in the same sequence set.

[0107] 2) Related functions

[0108] There are two types of correlation functions: auto-correlation function (ACF) and cross-correlation function (CCF).

[0109] Autocorrelation function: refers to the inner product between signal #A and signal #B, where signal #B is the signal after signal #A has undergone time delay transformation.

[0110] Taking signal #A as sequence s(n) as an example, the autocorrelation function of sequence s(n) satisfies the following formula:

[0111] C(τ) represents the autocorrelation function, s * [(n-τ)modN] represents the sequence of s(n) after time delay transformation (i.e., signal #B), N represents the sequence length, τ represents the time delay, τ∈{0,1,…,N-1}, and ν represents the Doppler frequency shift, ν∈{0,1,…,N-1}.

[0112] For the constant modulus sequence |s(n)|=1,n=0,1,…,N-1,the ideal autocorrelation function sequence is defined as

[0113] Cross-correlation function: refers to the inner product between signal #C and signal #B, where signal #B is the signal after signal #A has undergone time delay transformation, and signal #A and signal #C are in the same sequence set.

[0114] 3) Zero-ambiguity zone (ZAZ)

[0115] The zero ambiguity zone means that the ambiguity function is equal to zero within the range of maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread.

[0116] 4) Low-ambiguity zone (LAZ)

[0117] The low ambiguity zone means that within the range of maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread, the ambiguity function value is less than or equal to a preset ambiguity function threshold.

[0118] 5) Zero-correlation zone (ZCZ)

[0119] The zero correlation zone means that the correlation function is equal to zero within the maximum delay spread range.

[0120] 6) Low-correlation zone (LCZ)

[0121] The low correlation area refers to a region within the maximum delay spread range where the correlation function value is less than a preset correlation function threshold.

[0122] 7) Sequence capacity

[0123] Sequence capacity refers to the number of sequences contained in the sequence set.

[0124] 8) Frequency Domain Comb Mapping

[0125] Frequency domain comb mapping refers to resource mapping in which sequences are equally spaced in the frequency domain, for example, the demodulation reference signal (DMRS) configuration type 1 of the NR protocol.

[0126] 9) Frequency Division Multiplexing Mapping

[0127] Frequency division multiplexing mapping means that sequences are mapped to different resources in the frequency domain, for example, DMRS configuration type 2 of the NR protocol.

[0128] The communication method provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below. The communication method of the embodiment of the present application can construct a first sequence by using a base sequence and an auxiliary sequence, so that the first sequence can be used for a variety of physical channels and physical signals, and then transmit a first signal based on the first sequence, which can improve communication performance.

[0129] In the embodiment of the present application, the sending end of the first signal can be understood as the signal sending end, and the receiving end of the first signal can be understood as the signal receiving end. In the present application, the sending end can be the first communication device, and the receiving end can be the second communication device. In some scenarios, the first communication device can be an access network device, or it can be a processor, chip, chip system, circuit or a functional module in the access network device; the second communication device can be a terminal device, or it can be a processor, chip, chip system, circuit or a functional module in the terminal device. In other scenarios, the first communication device can be a terminal device, or it can be a processor, chip, chip system, circuit or a functional module in the terminal device; the second communication device can be an access network device, or it can be a processor, chip, chip system, circuit or a functional module in the access network device. In the following description of the present application, the communication method provided in the embodiment of the present application is explained by taking the first communication device and the second communication device as examples.

[0130] Based on the above description, an embodiment of the present application provides a communication method, as shown in FIG2 . The process of the method may include:

[0131] Step 201: A first communication device determines a first signal. The first signal is determined based on a first sequence, which is determined based on a base sequence and an auxiliary sequence. The base sequence is an ideal autocorrelation function sequence, the auxiliary sequence is a cyclically shifted sequence, and the ambiguity function of the first sequence is equal to zero within a maximum delay spread and a maximum Doppler spread range. Alternatively, the base sequence is an optimal self-ambiguity function sequence, the auxiliary sequence is a quadratic polynomial exponential sequence, and the ambiguity function of the first sequence is less than or equal to an ambiguity function threshold within a maximum delay spread and a maximum Doppler spread range.

[0132] It should be understood that the sequence names of the base sequence and auxiliary sequence in the embodiments of the present application are only examples, and the base sequence and auxiliary sequence can also be replaced by other names. For example, the base sequence can also be called a root sequence, etc., and this application does not limit this.

[0133] The ambiguity function of the first sequence is equal to zero within the maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread ranges, which can also be understood as the first sequence satisfying the zero ambiguity zone, or the first sequence being a zero ambiguity zone sequence. The ambiguity function of the first sequence is less than or equal to the ambiguity function threshold within the maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread ranges, which can also be understood as the first sequence satisfying the low ambiguity zone, or the first sequence being a low ambiguity zone sequence.

[0134] Optionally, the fuzzy function threshold can be N represents the length of the first sequence. Of course, the fuzzy function threshold value may also be other values, which is not limited in this application.

[0135] In an optional embodiment, the first sequence is determined based on the base sequence and the auxiliary sequence, and may satisfy the following formula 1:

[0136] in, is the first sequence, b u (n) is the base sequence, is the auxiliary sequence, N represents the length of the first sequence, Δ T represents the maximum delay spread, Δ F represents the maximum Doppler spread, u represents the base sequence number of the base sequence, and k and l are integers.

[0137] Where k and l represent parameters of the auxiliary sequence. For example, k represents the parameter associated with the coefficient of the quadratic term in the auxiliary sequence, and l represents the parameter associated with the coefficient of the linear term in the auxiliary sequence.

[0138] The base sequence number of the base sequence can also be called the root sequence number. In this application, the base sequence number represents the coefficient of the highest order term of the polynomial exponential sequence, rather than the order of the sequence, and the base sequence number is an integer.

[0139] In one example, when the base sequence is an ideal autocorrelation function sequence, the base sequence can satisfy the following formula 2:

[0140] In another example, when the base sequence is an optimal self-fuzzy function sequence, the base sequence can satisfy the following formula 3:

[0141] Among them, in formula 2 and formula 3, b u (n) is the base sequence, N represents the sequence length of the first sequence, P represents the maximum prime number not greater than the sequence length N, u represents the base sequence number of the base sequence, u∈{1,2,…,P-1}.

[0142] In some embodiments, the auxiliary sequence may satisfy the following formula 4:

[0143] in, is the auxiliary sequence, N represents the length of the first sequence, P represents the maximum prime number not greater than the sequence length N, Δ T represents the maximum delay spread, Δ F represents the maximum Doppler spread, u represents the base sequence number of the base sequence, The auxiliary sequence number representing the auxiliary sequence, represents the cyclic shift of the auxiliary sequence, k represents the auxiliary sequence number index (which can also be understood as k representing the parameter associated with the quadratic term coefficient in the auxiliary sequence), and l represents the cyclic shift index of the auxiliary sequence (which can also be understood as l representing the parameter associated with the linear term coefficient in the auxiliary sequence).

[0144] As can be seen from the foregoing, when the base sequence is the optimal self-fuzzy function sequence, the base sequence is a cubic polynomial exponential sequence, and the corresponding auxiliary sequence is a quadratic polynomial exponential sequence. Optionally, the degree of the highest order term of the base sequence can also be greater than three times, and the corresponding highest order of the auxiliary sequence is 1 less than the highest order of the base sequence. For example, the base sequence is a quartic polynomial exponential sequence, and the auxiliary sequence is a cubic polynomial exponential sequence. Of course, the base sequence and the auxiliary sequence can also have other forms, and this application does not limit this. It should be pointed out that for polynomial exponential sequences greater than or equal to three times, the fuzzy function of the base sequence has a global single-peak feature, that is, the fuzzy function of the base sequence has a value of N only at the origin, and the remaining values ​​are all less than N. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, only when the base sequence is the optimal self-fuzzy function sequence, the base sequence is a cubic polynomial exponential sequence, and the corresponding auxiliary sequence is a quadratic polynomial exponential sequence as an example for explanation.

[0145] Based on the above, it can be understood that the first sequence derived from the base sequence and the auxiliary sequence satisfies the exponential sum theorem, which is also known as the Weil bound on exponential sum theorem. Therefore, the first sequence can also be called the Weil exponential sum sequence, or simply the W sequence.

[0146] The exponential sum theorem refers to: the d-degree polynomial p(n) = p d n d +p d-1 n d-1 The coefficient of the highest-order term in +…+p1n+p0 represents {1,2,…,P-1}; coefficients of non-highest-order terms represents a finite field {0,1,…,P-1}, P is a prime number, d≥1, and the exponential sum satisfy: |·| represents modulo.

[0147] It should be understood that the P involved in the introduction of the exponent and theorem may correspond to the P in “P represents the largest prime number not greater than the sequence length N” described elsewhere in this application, and may also be understood to have the same meaning as P appearing throughout the text.

[0148] In particular, when d = 2, the exponential sum degenerates into a Gaussian sum That is, the Gaussian sum satisfies:

[0149] The first sequence determined by the above method can have the characteristics of large capacity and low ambiguity area and can be applied to various physical channels and physical signals. For example, the first sequence can be applied to reference signals, random access, synchronization signals (including primary synchronization signals and secondary synchronization signals), sequence modulation, etc. In some embodiments, the scope of application of the first sequence provided in the embodiment of the present application (using the W sequence as an example) and the sequences involved in the current NR protocol can be shown in Table 1 below.

[0150] Table 1

[0151] In Table 1, “----” indicates that the W sequence is not applicable to sequence scrambling and sequence frequency hopping.

[0152] As can be seen from Table 1, the first sequence provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a variety of physical channels and physical signals.

[0153] Based on this, the first signal determined based on the first sequence can be a variety of physical signals. The following describes in detail examples of applying the first sequence to different scenarios.

[0154] In a scenario a1, the first sequence may be applied to a physical random access channel (PRACH).

[0155] In this scenario a1, the first signal is a random access preamble sequence. The first sequence is a random access preamble sequence, that is, the first signal is the first sequence, that is, the first signal

[0156] The first signal is a time domain signal. The data corresponding to the first signal is transmitted using a discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) waveform, or it can be understood that the data corresponding to the first signal is carried on a DFT-s-OFDM waveform, and a frequency domain signal can be obtained by performing a discrete Fourier transform on the first signal.

[0157] In the scenario a1, the sequence length N of the first sequence is a prime number, and P is equal to the sequence length N. As an example, the value of N may be N∈{839,139,1151,571}.

[0158] In this scenario a1, the first communication device may transmit first indication information, where the first indication information is used to indicate that the base sequence is an ideal autocorrelation function sequence or is used to indicate that the base sequence is an optimal self-ambiguity function sequence.

[0159] Exemplarily, in scenario a1, the first communication device may be a terminal device, or may be a processor, chip, chip system, circuit or a functional module in the terminal device; the second communication device may be an access network device, or may be a processor, chip, chip system, circuit or a functional module in the access network device.

[0160] Thus, the first communication device can receive the first indication information, and correspondingly, the second communication device can send the first indication information.

[0161] In some embodiments b1, if the first indication information indicates that the base sequence is an ideal autocorrelation function sequence, the base sequence can refer to the aforementioned formula 2, and will not be repeated here.

[0162] Accordingly, when the ambiguity function of the first sequence is equal to zero within the maximum delay spread and the maximum Doppler spread range, the auxiliary sequence number of the auxiliary sequence is is equal to zero, that is, the coefficient of the quadratic term in the auxiliary sequence shown in the above formula 4 is 0, and the auxiliary sequence is a cyclic shift sequence. Can satisfy:

[0163] Where P represents the largest prime number not greater than N, N represents the length of the first sequence, Δ T represents the maximum delay spread, Δ F represents the maximum Doppler spread, u represents the base sequence number of the base sequence, u∈{1,2,…,P-1}, u -1 Indicates that (u -1 u)mod P=1, the smallest positive integer, τ l represents the delay domain cyclic shift, ν l represents the Doppler domain cyclic shift, The ambiguity function is equal to zero within the range of maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread (it can also be understood that To satisfy the zero ambiguity zone), l represents the cyclic shift index (it can also be understood that l represents the parameter associated with the coefficient of the first-order term in the auxiliary sequence).

[0164] For example, when u is 2 and P is 7, based on (u -1 u) mod P = 1 to get u -1 is 4, 11, 18, ..., based on u -1 Indicates that (u -1 u)mod P=1 is the smallest positive integer that can get the final u -1 Indicates 4; For example, when u is 3 and P is 31, based on (u -1 u) mod P = 1 to get u-1 is 21, 52, 83, ..., based on u -1 Indicates that (u -1 u)mod P=1 is the smallest positive integer that can get the final u -1 The same applies to other similar contents involved in the embodiments of the present application, which will not be described one by one.

[0165] Among them, when the maximum Doppler spread Δ F =1, zero fuzzy zone Can degenerate into zero correlation region In this case, the zero correlation zone cyclic shift may correspond to the unrestricted sets in the standard protocol 3GPP 38.211 6.3.3.1. Maximum Doppler spread Δ F =3 when the cyclic shift can correspond to the restricted sets type A in the standard protocol 3GPP 38.211 6.3.3.1; the maximum Doppler spread Δ F =5, the cyclic shift may correspond to 3GPP 38.211 6.3.3.1 restricted sets type B. It should be noted that compared with the standard protocol 3GPP 38.211 6.3.3.1 restricted sets cyclic shift, the embodiment of the present application can provide more zero ambiguity zone cyclic shifts (Δ F =3,5), and supports higher movement speed (Δ F =7,9,…).

[0166] In an optional manner, in this embodiment b1, the first communications device may determine a first sequence set (also referred to as a random access preamble set in this embodiment b1). The first sequence set is obtained by sequentially traversing cyclic shifts of the auxiliary sequence and a base sequence number of the base sequence. The first sequence set includes the first sequence, or it can be understood that the first sequence is included in the first sequence set, or it can be understood that the first sequence is one of the sequences in the first sequence set.

[0167] Optionally, in this embodiment b1, the first sequence set may be generated by the second communication device by sequentially traversing the cyclic shifts of the secondary sequence and the base sequence number of the base sequence, or may be predefined. The first sequence set is generated by sequentially traversing the cyclic shifts of the secondary sequence and the base sequence number of the base sequence, thereby reducing interference.

[0168] The second communication device may send second indication information to the first communication device, where the second indication information may be used to indicate the first sequence in the first sequence set. The first communication device may determine the first sequence in the first sequence set based on the second indication information.

[0169] Optionally, in this embodiment b1, to avoid collisions between random access preambles used between different cells, the number of sequences included in the first sequence set may be A, where A is a positive integer. For example, A may be 64, etc. A may be predefined or determined by the second communication device.

[0170] In some embodiments b2, if the first indication information indicates that the base sequence is an optimal self-ambiguous function sequence, the base sequence can refer to the aforementioned formula 3 and will not be repeated here.

[0171] Accordingly, when the ambiguity function of the first sequence is less than or equal to the ambiguity function threshold within the maximum delay spread and the maximum Doppler spread range, the auxiliary sequence is a quadratic polynomial exponential sequence, and the auxiliary sequence number of the auxiliary sequence is Can satisfy:

[0172] Cyclic shift of auxiliary sequence Can satisfy:

[0173] Among them, Δ T represents the maximum delay spread, Δ F Represents the maximum Doppler spread, u represents the base sequence number, u∈{1,2,…,P-1}, P represents the largest prime number not greater than N, N represents the sequence length of the first sequence, Indicates rounding down.

[0174] In an optional manner, in this embodiment b2, the first communications device may determine a second sequence set (also referred to as a random access preamble set in this embodiment b2). The second sequence set is obtained by sequentially traversing the cyclic shift of the supplementary sequence, the supplementary sequence number of the supplementary sequence, and the base sequence number of the base sequence. The second sequence set includes the first sequence, or it can be understood that the first sequence is included in the second sequence set, or it can be understood that the first sequence is one of the sequences in the second sequence set.

[0175] Optionally, in this embodiment b2, the second sequence set may be generated by the second communication device by sequentially traversing the cyclic shifts of the secondary sequences, the secondary sequence numbers of the secondary sequences, and the base sequence numbers of the base sequences, or may be predefined. The second sequence set is generated by sequentially traversing the cyclic shifts of the secondary sequences, the secondary sequence numbers of the secondary sequences, and the base sequence numbers of the base sequences, thereby increasing the capacity of the first sequence.

[0176] The second communication device may send third indication information to the first communication device, where the third indication information may be used to indicate the first sequence in the second sequence set. The first communication device may determine the first sequence in the second sequence set based on the third indication information.

[0177] Optionally, in this embodiment b2, to avoid collisions between random access preambles used between different cells, the number of sequences included in the second sequence set may be B, where B is a positive integer. For example, B may be 1024, etc. B may be predefined or determined by the second communication device.

[0178] It should be noted that in scenario a1, the maximum delay spread can be understood as the maximum round-trip delay, and the maximum Doppler spread range can be understood as the maximum Doppler frequency shift range. That is, in the aforementioned embodiment b1, the ambiguity function of the first sequence is equal to zero within the maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread range, which can be understood as the ambiguity function of the first sequence is equal to zero within the maximum round-trip delay and maximum Doppler frequency shift range. Similarly, in the aforementioned embodiment b2, the ambiguity function of the first sequence is less than or equal to the ambiguity function threshold within the maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread range, which can be understood as the ambiguity function of the first sequence is less than or equal to the ambiguity function threshold within the maximum round-trip delay and maximum Doppler frequency shift range.

[0179] In another scenario a2, the first sequence may be applied to a demodulation reference signal (DMRS).

[0180] In scenario a2, the first signal determined based on the first sequence can be a demodulation reference signal. When the base sequence is an ideal autocorrelation function sequence (as shown in Formula 2 above), and the ambiguity function of the first sequence is equal to zero within the maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread range, the sequence capacity of the first sequence is positively correlated with the square of the sequence length of the first sequence. Alternatively, when the base sequence is an optimal self-ambiguity function sequence (as shown in Formula 3 above), and the ambiguity function of the first sequence is less than or equal to the ambiguity function threshold within the maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread range, the sequence capacity of the first sequence is positively correlated with the cube of the sequence length of the first sequence.

[0181] In this application, "when..." can also be replaced with various descriptions such as "if...", "if...", "under..." circumstances, "when...", etc., and this application does not limit this.

[0182] In some embodiments c1, when the data corresponding to the first signal is carried on an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) waveform, the base sequence is an optimal self-ambiguity function sequence, the auxiliary sequence is a quadratic polynomial exponential sequence, and the ambiguity function of the first sequence is less than or equal to the ambiguity function threshold within the maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread range.

[0183] In this embodiment c1, the first signal is determined based on the first sequence by the following method: the first signal is determined by performing frequency domain comb mapping or frequency division multiplexing mapping on the first sequence.

[0184] For example, the first signal is determined based on the first sequence and may satisfy:

[0185] Among them, r (m,q) (n) is the first signal, is the first sequence, N represents the length of the first sequence, Δ T represents the maximum delay spread, Δ F represents the maximum Doppler spread, Q represents the length of the frequency-domain orthogonal cover code, m represents the transmission comb index, m∈{0,1,…,M-1}, M represents the number of transmission combs, q represents the symbol position of the frequency-domain orthogonal cover code, q∈{0,1,…,Q-1}, v represents the frequency-domain orthogonal cover code index, v∈{0,1,…,Q-1}, u represents the base sequence number of the base sequence, u∈{1,2,…,P-1}, P represents the maximum prime number not greater than the sequence length N, k represents the auxiliary sequence number index, and l represents the cyclic shift index. When Q is 1, the corresponding first signal is determined by performing frequency-domain comb mapping on the first sequence. When Q is not 1, the corresponding first signal is determined by performing frequency-division multiplexing mapping on the first sequence.

[0186] In one example, when the first signal is determined by performing frequency domain comb mapping on the first sequence, the auxiliary sequence number of the auxiliary sequence is Can satisfy:

[0187] Cyclic shift of auxiliary sequence Can satisfy:

[0188] Among them, Δ T represents the maximum delay spread, Δ F Represents the maximum Doppler spread, M represents the number of transmission comb teeth, m represents the transmission comb tooth index, u represents the base sequence number of the base sequence, u∈{1,2,…,P-1}, P represents the maximum prime number not greater than the sequence length N, N represents the sequence length of the first sequence, Indicates rounding down.

[0189] When the first signal is determined by performing frequency domain comb mapping on the first sequence, the first signal may correspond to DMRS configuration type 1, and the transmission comb number M and the frequency domain orthogonal cover code length Q may have a first relationship, for example, the transmission comb number M=2 and the frequency domain orthogonal cover code length Q=1.

[0190] It should be noted that according to the exponential sum theorem, the number of transmission comb teeth M and the maximum Doppler spread Δ F The value of must meet the following conditions: represents the integer domain. For example, M=2,Δ F =3 or M=4,Δ F =5.

[0191] In another example, when the first signal is determined by performing frequency division multiplexing mapping on the first sequence, the auxiliary sequence number of the auxiliary sequence is Can satisfy:

[0192] Cyclic shift of auxiliary sequence Can satisfy:

[0193] Among them, Δ T represents the maximum delay spread, Δ F represents the maximum Doppler spread, M represents the number of transmission comb teeth, Q represents the length of the frequency domain orthogonal cover code, m represents the transmission comb tooth index, q represents the symbol position of the frequency domain orthogonal cover code, q∈{0,1,…,Q-1}, u represents the base sequence number of the base sequence, u∈{1,2,…,P-1}, P represents the maximum prime number not greater than the sequence length N, N represents the sequence length of the first sequence, Indicates rounding down.

[0194] When the first signal is determined by frequency division multiplexing mapping the first sequence, the first signal may correspond to DMRS configuration type 2, and there may be a second relationship between the number of transmission comb teeth M and the frequency domain orthogonal cover code length Q, for example, the number of transmission comb teeth M = 3 and the frequency domain orthogonal cover code length Q = 2.

[0195] It should be noted that according to the exponential sum theorem, the number of transmission comb teeth M, the length of the frequency domain orthogonal cover code Q and the maximum Doppler spread Δ F The value of must meet the following conditions: represents the integer domain. For example, M=3,Q=2,Δ F =3 or M=3, Q=4, Δ F =5.

[0196] In some embodiments c2, when the data corresponding to the first signal is carried on an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing waveform expanded by discrete Fourier transform, the base sequence is an ideal autocorrelation function sequence, the auxiliary sequence is a cyclic shift sequence, and the ambiguity function of the first sequence is equal to zero within the maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread range.

[0197] In this embodiment c2, the first signal is determined based on the first sequence by the following method: the first signal is determined by performing frequency domain comb mapping on the first sequence.

[0198] For example, the first signal is determined based on the first sequence and may satisfy:

[0199] Among them, r (m,0) (n) is the first signal, is the first sequence, N represents the length of the first sequence, Δ T represents the maximum delay spread, Δ F represents the maximum Doppler spread, m represents the transmission comb index, m∈{0,1,…,M-1}, M represents the number of transmission combs, u represents the base sequence number of the base sequence, u∈{1,2,…,P-1}, P represents the maximum prime number not greater than the sequence length N, k represents the auxiliary sequence number index, and l represents the cyclic shift index.

[0200] For example, in this embodiment c2, the auxiliary sequence number of the auxiliary sequence is equal to zero, that is, the coefficient of the quadratic term in the auxiliary sequence shown in the above formula 4 is 0, and the auxiliary sequence is a cyclic shift sequence. Can satisfy:

[0201] Where P represents the maximum prime number not greater than the sequence length N, N represents the sequence length of the first sequence, Δ T represents the maximum delay spread, Δ F represents the maximum Doppler spread, m represents the transmission comb index, m∈{0,1,…,M-1}, M represents the number of transmission combs, u represents the base sequence number of the base sequence, u∈{1,2,…,P-1}, represents the delay domain cyclic shift, represents the Doppler domain cyclic shift, The ambiguity function is equal to zero within the range of maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread (it can also be understood that To satisfy the zero ambiguity zone), l represents the cyclic shift index.

[0202] Among them, when the maximum Doppler spread Δ F =1, zero fuzzy zone Degenerate into zero correlation region Indicates rounding down.

[0203] In this embodiment c2, the first signal may correspond to DMRS configuration type 1, and the transmission comb number M and the frequency domain orthogonal cover code length Q may have a third relationship, for example, the transmission comb number M=2 and the frequency domain orthogonal cover code length Q=1.

[0204] In some embodiments c3, when the data corresponding to the first signal is carried on an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing waveform, the base sequence is an ideal autocorrelation function sequence, the auxiliary sequence is a cyclic shift sequence, and the ambiguity function of the first sequence is equal to zero within the maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread range.

[0205] In this embodiment c3, the first signal is determined based on the first sequence by the following method: the first signal is determined by performing frequency domain comb mapping on the first sequence.

[0206] For example, the first signal is determined based on the first sequence and may satisfy:

[0225] It should be noted that according to the exponential sum theorem, the number of transmission comb teeth M, the length of the frequency domain orthogonal cover code Q and the maximum Doppler spread Δ F The value of must meet the following conditions: represents the integer domain. For example, M=3,Q=2,Δ F =3 or M=3, Q=4, Δ F =5.

[0235] In yet another scenario a3, the first sequence may be applied to a sounding reference signal (SRS).

[0236] In scenario a2, the first signal determined based on the first sequence may be a sounding reference signal. The first signal is determined based on the first sequence and can be implemented by the following method: the first signal is determined by performing frequency domain comb mapping on the first sequence.

[0237] For example, the first signal is determined based on the first sequence and may satisfy:

[0239] In the scenario a3, the first communication device may transmit first indication information, where the first indication information is used to indicate that the base sequence is an ideal autocorrelation function sequence or is used to indicate that the base sequence is an optimal self-ambiguity function sequence.

[0240] Exemplarily, in scenario a3, the first communication device may be a terminal device, or may be a processor, chip, chip system, circuit or a functional module in the terminal device; the second communication device may be an access network device, or may be a processor, chip, chip system, circuit or a functional module in the access network device.

[0241] Thus, the first communication device can receive the first indication information, and correspondingly, the second communication device can send the first indication information.

[0242] In some embodiments d1, if the first indication information indicates that the base sequence is an ideal autocorrelation function sequence, the base sequence can refer to the aforementioned formula 2, and will not be repeated here.

[0243] Accordingly, when the ambiguity function of the first sequence is equal to zero within the maximum delay spread and the maximum Doppler spread range, the auxiliary sequence number of the auxiliary sequence is is equal to zero, that is, the coefficient of the quadratic term in the auxiliary sequence shown in the above formula 4 is 0, and the auxiliary sequence is a cyclic shift sequence; the cyclic shift of the auxiliary sequence is Can satisfy:

[0246] In this embodiment d1, the value range of M can be 2, 4 or 8, corresponding to the NR protocol sounding reference signal configuration.

[0247] In some embodiments d2, if the first indication information indicates that the base sequence is an optimal self-ambiguous function sequence, the base sequence can refer to the aforementioned formula 3 and will not be repeated here.

[0248] Accordingly, when the ambiguity function of the first sequence is less than or equal to the ambiguity function threshold within the maximum delay spread and maximum Doppler spread range of the sequence, the auxiliary sequence number of the auxiliary sequence is Can satisfy:

[0249] Cyclic shift of auxiliary sequence Can satisfy:

[0250] Where P represents the maximum prime number not greater than the sequence length N, N represents the sequence length of the first sequence, Δ T represents the maximum delay spread, Δ F represents the maximum Doppler spread, m represents the transmission comb index, m∈{0,1,…,M-1}, M represents the number of transmission combs, u represents the base sequence number of the base sequence, u∈{1,2,…,P-1}, Indicates rounding down.

[0251] In this embodiment d2, the value range of M can be 2, 4 or 8, corresponding to the NR protocol sounding reference signal configuration.

[0252] In scenario a3, the first communication device can determine a sounding reference signal set, where the sounding reference signal set is determined based on a first parameter, the peak-to-average power ratio of the sounding reference signals in the sounding reference signal set is less than a first threshold, and the sounding reference signal set includes the first signal, or it can be understood that the first signal is included in the sounding reference signal set, or it can also be understood that the first signal is one of the sounding reference signal set.

[0253] Optionally, the sounding reference signal set may be generated by the second communication device according to the first parameter, or may be predefined.

[0254] The second communication device may send fifth indication information to the first communication device, where the fifth indication information may be used to indicate the first signal in the sounding reference signal set. The first communication device may determine the first signal in the sounding reference signal set based on the fifth indication information.

[0255] Optionally, the first parameter includes at least one of the following: a cubic metric of a time domain signal, a power corresponding to a complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) of a time domain signal, or a peak value of a time domain signal.

[0256] Exemplarily, the sounding reference signal set may include Ω signals. For example, the second communications device may determine Ω signals with the smallest time domain signal cubic metric, or determine Ω signals with the smallest power corresponding to CCDF, or determine Ω signals with the smallest time domain signal peak value as the sounding reference signal set, to ensure that the peak-to-average power ratio of the sounding reference signals in the sounding reference signal set is less than a first threshold.

[0257] For example, CCDF=10 -4The corresponding Ω signals with the smallest time domain signal power.

[0258] Wherein, Ω is predefined or determined by the second communication device itself, and Ω is a positive integer.

[0259] Step 202: The first communication device sends a first signal, and the second communication device receives the first signal accordingly.

[0260] In this application, sending can also be described as outputting, transmitting, etc. That is, the first communication device sending the first signal can also be described as the first communication device outputting the first signal, or the first communication device transmitting the first signal, etc.

[0261] Optionally, sending may refer to transmission between two devices, or may refer to internal transmission within a device, such as transmission from a high layer to a low layer of a device.

[0262] For example, when the first communication device is an access network device, the access network device sends a first signal, which can be understood as the access network device sending the first signal to the terminal device (such as the radio frequency unit of the access network device sends the first signal to the terminal device through the air interface), and can also be understood as the baseband unit of the access network device outputting the first signal to the radio frequency unit of the access network device.

[0263] After receiving the first signal, the second communication device may analyze the first signal.

[0264] Through the above communication method, the first sequence is constructed by using the base sequence and the auxiliary sequence, so that the first sequence can be used for multiple physical channels and physical signals, and then the first signal is transmitted based on the first sequence, which can improve communication performance.

[0265] It should be noted that the application of the first sequence (such as the W sequence) described above is only an example and does not limit the application of the first sequence of this application. It should be understood that the first sequence is not limited to the applications listed in the embodiments of this application. In addition, based on this application, some deformations and changes to the first sequence may still fall within the scope of protection of this application. For example, deformations such as shifting the overall phase of the first sequence or offsetting the polynomial coefficients of the first sequence by a constant will not change the properties or number of the first sequence. The sequence obtained based on this deformation of the first sequence may still fall within the scope of protection of this application.
