Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of communication technology, and specifically relates to a random access method, device and related equipment. Background Art
[0002] As the frequency bands of future communication systems are deployed at higher and higher frequencies, the coverage of a single cell or Transmission Reception Point (TRP) is getting smaller and smaller. At the same time, future mobile communication systems support more high-speed scenarios, which brings frequent mobility to the terminal, thereby introducing more terminal measurements and causing higher power consumption of the terminal.
[0003] In order to reduce the power consumption of the terminal, cell free or single frequency network (SFN) will be an important deployment scenario in dense network or high-speed scenarios. However, in the prior art, there is no relevant solution for how to perform the random access channel (RACH) process when the SFN design is introduced. Summary of the invention

[0020] Continue to perform the first RACH process;
[0021] terminating the first RACH process and starting to execute the second RACH process;
[0022] Abort the RACH procedure.
[0023] In a fourth aspect, a random access device is provided, the random access device comprising:
[0024] A fourth execution module, configured to execute a first operation when the terminal moves within at least one single frequency network SFN during the execution of the first random access RACH process;

[0048] Figure 1A block diagram of a wireless communication system applicable to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network side device 12. Among them, the terminal 11 can also be called a terminal device or a user terminal (User Equipment, UE), and the terminal 11 can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a laptop computer (Laptop Computer) or a notebook computer, a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), a handheld computer, a netbook, an ultra-mobile personal computer (ultra-mobile personal computer, UMPC), a mobile Internet device (Mobile Internet Device, MID), a wearable device (Wearable Device) or a vehicle-mounted device (VUE), a pedestrian terminal (PUE) and other terminal side devices, and the wearable device includes: a bracelet, a headset, glasses, etc. It should be noted that the specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The network side device 12 can be a base station or a core network, wherein the base station can be referred to as a node B, an evolved node B, an access point, a base transceiver station (Base Transceiver Station, BTS), a radio base station, a radio transceiver, a basic service set (Basic Service Set, BSS), an extended service set (Extended Service Set, ESS), a B node, an evolved B node (eNB), a home B node, a home evolved B node, a WLAN access point, a WiFi node, a TRP or some other suitable term in the field, as long as the same technical effect is achieved, the base station is not limited to a specific technical vocabulary.
[0049] For ease of understanding, some contents involved in the embodiments of the present invention are described below:
[0050] 1. SFN.
[0051] SFN transmission solution: Multiple cells or multiple transmission points send the same signal. There is no co-channel interference between different cells, and multiple signals can improve the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), transmission quality and coverage effect.
[0052] Multiple cells that make up SFN can share a cell ID, which is the ID of the super cell. Therefore, in some cases, SFN can also be called a super cell. Figure 2 , Figure 2The figure shows a SFN consisting of 7 cells, namely a super cell.
[0053] Multiple cells can transmit signals through SFN transmission. For example, each cell transmits with a wide beam. At a certain moment, the terminal can receive wide beams transmitted by multiple cells, thereby obtaining diversity gain. In the SFN transmission scheme, the terminal does not need to frequently reselect or switch cells between cells.
[0054] 2. IDLE or INACTIVE UE mobility.
[0055] When an IDLE or INACTIVE UE is moving, the network provides the priority of each frequency point.
[0056] For a co-frequency neighboring cell, if the measurement evaluation value of the target (or neighboring) cell (calculated by adding an offset to the measurement result of the target (or neighboring) cell) is better than the measurement evaluation value of the serving cell (calculated by adding an offset to the measurement result of the serving cell), and lasts for a period of time (e.g., a period configured by the network), and the UE stays in the current serving cell for more than a period of time (e.g., 1s agreed by the protocol), the UE reselects to the target (or neighboring) cell.
[0057] For a high priority inter-frequency or inter-system (inter Radio Access Technology, inter-RAT) neighbor cell, if the measurement evaluation value of the target (or neighbor) cell exceeds the threshold and lasts for a period of time (e.g., the period configured by the network), the UE reselects to the target (or neighbor) cell.
[0058] For a low priority inter-frequency or inter-RAT neighboring cell, if the measurement evaluation value of the target (or neighboring) cell is greater than the threshold value and the measurement evaluation value of the current serving cell is less than the threshold value, and lasts for a period of time (e.g., the period configured by the network), the UE reselects to the target (or neighboring) cell.
[0059] For inter-frequency or inter-RAT neighbor cells, when the target (or neighbor) frequency priority is the same as the current serving (or resident) frequency priority, the cell reselection method is the same as the cell reselection method for the same-frequency cell.
[0060] The IDLE / INACTIVE UE triggers the connection establishment process by receiving the paging message sent by the network side, thereby sending and receiving data.
[0061] 3. Cell free or dense network.
[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, the coverage of low frequency (eg FR1) cells is larger than that of high frequency (eg FR2) cells. When a terminal moves within the coverage of FR1, it may continuously change FR2 cells, but the FR1 cell does not change.
[0063] When the terminal initially activates an FR2 cell or switches to an FR2 cell, it needs to continuously measure the signal quality of each beam. Due to the large number of beams, it will lead to a long cell activation time or cell switching time. For example, when certain conditions are met, the measurement time can reach the second level. The above-mentioned long measurement time will also lead to high UE power consumption.
[0064] 4. Centralized Control Unit (CU) and Distributed Unit (DU).
[0065] In the fifth generation (5 th -Generation, 5G) system, the base station (gNB) can place its protocol stack entities on different control units respectively. For example, Radio Resource Control (RRC) and Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) are placed on the CU, and Radio Link Control (RLC) and Media Access Control (MAC) / Physical Layer (PHY) are placed on the DU. Among them, the CU and DU have certain management rights of wireless resources. For example, the CU can manage the cells connected to it through RRC messages, and the DU can manage the cells connected to it through MAC control element (CE) messages. Multiple DUs are connected to one CU, and the CU is connected to the core network and other CUs.
[0066] 5. Basic process of terminal system access.
[0067] The following steps may be included:
[0068] Step 1: Initial network search: including synchronization of synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel signal block (SynchronizationSignal and PBCH block, SSB) and reception of system information.
[0069] Specifically, the primary synchronization signal (PSS) can be received first, then the secondary synchronization signal (SSS) can be received, and then the physical broadcast channel (PBCH) can be received: the SSB index (index), and the information in the demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and the master information block (MIB) of the PBCH can be obtained.
[0070] Step 2: Receive broadcasted system information (SI) based on the information obtained above, which includes information required for accessing the system.
[0071] Step 3: Perform random access based on the information required for system access obtained above.
[0072] 6. Random Access Channel (RACH) process.
[0073] Currently, the RACH process is divided into contention random access and non-contention random access. The contention random access process has four steps, namely, messages (Msg.) 1 to Msg.4, while the non-contention random access process only requires two steps, Msg.1 and Msg.2.
[0074] like Figure 4a As shown, the contention-based random access process may include the following steps:
[0075] Step 1: UE sends Msg.1 to eNB.
[0076] Msg.1 may include a random access preamble (Random Access Preamble).
[0077] Step 2: The eNB sends Msg.2 to the UE.
[0078] Msg.2 may include a Random Access Response (RAR).
[0079] Step 3: UE sends message 3 to eNB.
[0080] Msg.3 may include scheduled transmission.
[0081] Step 4: eNB sends Msg.4 to UE.
[0082] Msg.4 may include contention resolution.
[0083] like Figure 4b As shown, the non-contention random access process may include the following steps:
[0084] Step 0: The eNB sends a random access preamble assignment to the UE.
[0085] Step 1: UE sends Msg.1 to eNB.
[0086] Msg.1 may include a random access preamble.
[0087] Step 2: eNB sends message 2 to UE.
[0088] Msg.2 may include a random access response.
[0089] Msg.2 of both contention random access and non-contention random access sends RAR. The UE monitors the RAR corresponding to the Random Access-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RA-RNTI) in the RAR window.
[0090] Since there is a problem of UE sending the same preamble on the same PRACH resource in competitive random access, after receiving Msg.2, it is necessary to send Msg.3 according to the uplink grant (UL grant) in Msg.2, and the UE will carry the UE identifier on message3, and start the contention resolution timer (timer) at the same time when Msg.3 is sent. If the UE receives Msg.4 sent by the base station before the contention resolution timer times out, the contention resolution is successful. The base station will carry the UE identifier in Msg.4. The UE can determine whether it is its own message 4 based on the UE identifier carried in message4, and thus determine whether the contention is successful.
[0091] Furthermore, in order to shorten the access system delay, a two-step RACH process is used, that is, a RACH process including two steps: the terminal sends Msg.A to the network side, and then receives Msg.B sent by the network side. Among them, Msg.A has Figure 4a The functions of Msg.1 and Msg.3, Msg.B has Figure 4aThe functions of Msg.2 and Msg.4; or, Msg.A has Figure 4b The function of Msg.1 in Msg.B is Figure 4b The function of Msg.2.
[0092] In the embodiments of the present application:
[0093] SFN specific can be understood as: the relevant configuration corresponding to each SFN is independent, and the configuration within the SFN range is the same. Cell or TRP specific can also be called: SFN specific, Super cell specific, Super cell specific, first layer specific; where the first layer is the SFN layer.
[0094] Cell / TRP specific can be understood as: the relevant configuration corresponding to each Cell / TRP is independent, and the configuration within the Cell / TRP range is the same. Cell / TRP specific can also be called: cell or TRP corresponding, second layer corresponding; where the second layer is the cell layer or TRP layer.
[0095] The reference signal (RS) can be any of the following: SSB, channel state information (CSI)-RS, cell specific RS (CRS), sounding reference signal (SRS), demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and other reference signals.
[0096] Specifically, in actual deployment, SFN is the range of a Super cell. The range of an SFN includes several cells or TRPs, and the SFN super cell is usually called the SFN layer. The cell corresponding to the Super cell or SFN layer is a SFN-specific (specific) cell; and the several cells or TRPs included in the SFN range are the cell / TRP layer. The cell / TRP corresponding to this layer is a cell / TRP-specific (specific) cell or TRP. Correspondingly, the reference signal RS, system message SI, paging message Paging, etc. on the SFN layer are all called SFN-specific RS, SI, paging, etc. The reference signal RS, system message SI, paging message Paging, etc. on the cell / TRP layer are all called cell / TRP-specific RS, SI, paging, etc.
[0097] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is one of the flow charts of the random access method provided in the embodiment of the present application. The random access method in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a terminal.
[0098] like Figure 5 As shown, the random access method may include the following steps:
[0099] Step 501: When a terminal moves within at least one single frequency network SFN during a first random access RACH process, a first operation is performed.
[0100] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first operation may include any one of the following:
[0101] Continue to perform the first RACH process;
[0102] terminating the first RACH process and starting to execute the second RACH process;
[0103] Abort the RACH procedure.
[0104] In the scenario where the first operation includes continuing to execute the first RACH process, even if the terminal moves within at least one SFN during the execution of the first RACH process, the terminal can continue to execute the first RACH process. It can be seen that in this case, the RACH process executed by the terminal will not be interrupted due to the movement of the terminal, thereby improving the smoothness of random access.
[0105] In a scenario where the first operation includes terminating the first RACH process and starting to execute the second RACH process, if the terminal moves within at least one SFN during the execution of the first RACH process, the terminal can restart the RACH process, that is, terminate the currently executed RACH process and start a new RACH process, thereby improving the reliability of random access.
[0106] In a scenario where the first operation includes terminating the RACH process, if the terminal moves within at least one SFN during execution of the first RACH process, the terminal may terminate all RACH processes including the first RACH process, thereby reducing terminal power consumption.
[0107] In the random access method of the embodiment of the present application, if the terminal moves within at least one SFN during the execution of the first RACH process, then the terminal can perform a first operation; wherein the first operation includes any one of the following: continuing to execute the first RACH process; terminating the first RACH process and starting to execute the second RACH process; terminating the RACH process. It can be seen that the embodiment of the present application provides an implementation scheme of the RACH process in the SFN scenario, which effectively combines the RACH process with the SFN, and can achieve the purpose of quickly accessing the network, thereby effectively saving terminal power consumption and access delay.
[0108] In the embodiment of the present application, during implementation, in one implementation mode, as long as the terminal moves within at least one SFN during the execution of the first RACH process, the terminal can perform the first operation.
[0109] In another implementation, when the terminal moves within at least one single frequency network SFN during the execution of the first random access RACH process, a certain condition needs to be met before the terminal can execute the first operation.
[0110] Optionally, the performing the first operation includes:
[0111] In a case where the reference signal RS received by the terminal includes an SFN-specific RS, a first operation is performed.
[0112] In this optional implementation, when the terminal moves within at least one single frequency network SFN during the execution of the first random access RACH process, the terminal will perform the first operation only if the RS received by the terminal includes an RS specific to the SFN.
[0113] In a specific implementation, the RS received by the terminal includes an SFN-specific RS, which may include at least one of the following: the RS received by the terminal includes an SFN-specific RS and a Cell / TRP-specific RS; the RS received by the terminal includes only an SFN-specific RS.
[0114] In this optional implementation, if the RS received by the terminal does not include an SFN-specific RS, that is, the RS received by the terminal does not include an SFN-specific RS, such as: the RS received by the terminal only includes a Cell / TRP-specific RS, then even if the terminal moves within at least one single frequency network SFN during the execution of the first random access RACH process, the terminal may not perform the first operation. In this case, optionally, the terminal may implement an object change based on the measurement result of the RS; and / or, the terminal may select a RACH resource for random access based on the RS measurement result. In specific implementation, the object change may be specifically manifested as any of the following: object selection, object reselection, object switching (synchronous reconfiguration), etc.
[0115] The above-mentioned SFN-specific RS can also be understood as the RS corresponding to the SFN.
[0116] The measurement results include at least one of the following: Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), Signal-to-Noise and Interference Ratio (SINR), Block Error Rate (BLER).
[0117] In the embodiment of the present application, optionally, the movement occurs within at least one SFN, including any one of the following:
[0118] a) moving from a first object to a second object within a first SFN;
[0119] b) moving from the second SFN to the third SFN, and the terminal accessing the SFN layer;
[0120] c) moving from a third object in a fourth SFN to a fourth object in a fifth SFN;
[0121] Among them, the object includes any of the following items: a cell unique to an SFN, a cell or a transceiver point TRP unique to a cell, a TRP.
[0122] In a), the terminal changes an object within the first SFN (range), moving from a first object included in the first SFN to a second object included in the first SFN.
[0123] In b), the terminal changes SFN and moves from the second SFN to the third SFN. In this case, the terminal accesses the SFN layer, or does not access the cell or TRP layer. In other words, the terminal resides in or is connected to the cell of the SFN layer, and does not reside in or is connected to the cell of the cell / TRP layer.
[0124] In c), the terminal changes the object between SFNs, and moves from the third object in the fourth SFN to the fourth object in the fifth SFN.
[0125] In an embodiment of the present application, in a scenario where the first operation includes continuing to execute the first RACH process, the RACH resources used by the terminal to continue to execute the first RACH process may be the same as or different from the RACH resources used by the terminal to execute the first RACH process before the terminal moves within at least one SFN. The specific decision may be based on actual conditions, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.
[0126] Optionally, the continuing to perform the first RACH process includes:
[0127] The first RACH process continues to be performed according to the first RACH resource.
[0128] In specific implementation, optionally, the first RACH resource can be configured by any one of the following: SFN-specific system information (System Information, SI), cell or TRP-specific SI.
[0129] As can be seen from the foregoing, the movement within at least one SFN may include multiple forms of expression, and the RS received by the terminal may include multiple forms of expression. In the embodiment of the present application, for the movement within at least one SFN of different forms and / or the RS received by the terminal of different forms, the expression forms of the first RACH resource may be different or the same, as described in detail as follows:
[0130] Case 1: The movement occurs within at least one SFN, including: moving from a first object to a second object within a first SFN.
[0131] For case 1, the first RACH resource may be any one of the following: a RACH resource corresponding to the second object, a RACH resource corresponding to the first object, and a RACH resource related to an RS specific to the first SFN. That is, the terminal may continue to perform the first RACH process by using: a RACH resource corresponding to a source object (i.e., the first object), or a RACH resource corresponding to a target object (or referred to as a new object, i.e., the second object), or a RACH resource related to an RS specific to the SFN (i.e., the first SFN) where the terminal is located.
[0132] Furthermore, the first RACH resource satisfies any of the following:
[0133] In a case where the RS received by the terminal includes a first RS and a second RS, and the first RS has no related RACH resource, the first RACH resource is any one of the following: a RACH resource corresponding to the second object, and a RACH resource corresponding to the first object;
[0134] In a case where the RS received by the terminal includes a first RS and a second RS, and the first RS has a related RACH resource, the first RACH resource is any one of the following: a RACH resource related to an RS specific to the first SFN, a RACH resource corresponding to the second object, and a RACH resource corresponding to the first object;
[0135] In a case where the RS received by the terminal includes only the first RS, and the first RS has a related RACH resource, the first RACH resource is: a RACH resource related to an RS specific to the first SFN;
[0136] The object includes any one of the following: a cell specific to an SFN, a cell specific to a cell or TRP, a TRP; the first RS is an RS specific to an SFN; or the second RS is an RS specific to a cell or TRP.
[0137] In specific implementation, the first RACH resource may be determined by a protocol agreement, configured by a network side device, or coordinated by the first object and the second object, which may be determined according to actual conditions, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.
[0138] Case 2: the movement occurs within at least one SFN, including: moving from the second SFN to the third SFN, and the terminal accesses the SFN layer.
[0139] For situation 2, since the terminal is not connected to the Cell / TRP layer, the terminal cannot use the object-specific RACH resources. The first RACH resource can be any one of the following: RACH resources configured by the target system information SI in the second SFN, RACH resources configured by the target SI in the third SFN, RACH resources related to the RS specific to the second SFN, and RACH resources related to the RS specific to the third SFN. That is, the terminal can continue to perform the first RACH process using: RACH resources configured by the target SI in the source SFN (i.e., the second SFN), or, RACH resources configured by the target SI in the target SFN (i.e., the third SFN), or, RACH resources related to the RS specific to the source SFN (i.e., the second SFN), or, RACH resources related to the RS specific to the target SFN (i.e., the third SFN).
[0140] Furthermore, the first RACH resource satisfies any of the following:
[0141] In a case where the RS received by the terminal includes a first RS and a second RS, and the first RS has no related RACH resource, the first RACH resource is any one of the following: a RACH resource configured by target system information SI in the second SFN, and a RACH resource configured by target SI in the third SFN;
