[0049] The random access method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0050] The random access method of the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a cell free network system, which is composed of many APs. The UE communicates with one or more adjacent APs. When the UE moves between APs, the service AP of the UE changes.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a random access method, including:

[0052] Step 201: The terminal determines first signal-related parameters according to terminal identification-related information.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal identification related information includes at least one of the terminal identification and the last X bits of the terminal identification, where X is greater than or equal to 1. The terminal identification includes at least one of the following:

[0054] International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI), 5G S-Temporary Mobile Subscription Identifier (5G-S-TMSI), Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) and a random number.

[0055] Of course, the terminal identifier may also be other types of terminal identifiers; or the terminal identifier may also be a number generated according to a certain rule or formula, where the rule or formula is defined by the protocol or notified to the terminal by the network side device.

[0056] Optionally, the terminal identification related information when the terminal is in an inactive state is different from the terminal identification related information when the terminal is in an idle state; for example, when the terminal is in an inactive state, the cell radio network temporary identifier (Cell RNTI, C-RNTI) can be used as the terminal identification related information; when the UE is in an idle state, IMSI or TMSI can be used as the terminal identification related information.

[0057] Optionally, the terminal identification related information when the terminal is in an inactive state is the same as the terminal identification related information when the terminal is in an idle state, for example, both are IMSI or TMSI.

[0058] For example, assume that there are four UE groups: Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, and Group 4. The UE group ID (UE_GROUP_ID) of each UE is calculated according to the following formula, and the UE group ID is used to select the preamble code.

[0059] UE_GROUP_ID=Floor[UE_ID / S];

[0060] Wherein, S represents the total number of UE groups, for example, S=4, the possible values ​​of UE group ID are 0, 1, 2 or 3, and S is defined by the protocol or indicated to the UE by the base station through signaling. For example, S is indicated to the UE through broadcast signaling. UE_ID is UE identification related information, for example, 5G-S-TMSI mod 1024.

[0061] Step 202: The terminal sends a first signal according to first signal related parameters.

[0062] Here, the first signal-related parameters are determined based on the terminal identification-related information, which can be understood as the first signal being associated with the terminal identification-related information. The first signal associated with the terminal identification-related information is sent to the network side device, so that the network side device can accurately determine the terminal corresponding to the received first signal, and the network side device can determine the location information of the terminal corresponding to the terminal identification-related information associated with the first signal, and then send a subsequent signal to the terminal based on the location information.

[0063] The first signal includes at least one of a sounding reference signal SRS and a preamble of a first random access message; the preamble of the first random access message may be a preamble of a message A of a two-step random access, or a preamble of a message 1 of a four-step random access.

[0064] The first signal-related parameter includes at least one of the following:

[0065] sequence identification information of the first signal;

[0066] time domain resources of the first signal;

[0067] The frequency domain resources of the first signal.

[0068] When the above-mentioned first signal is the preamble code of the first random access message, the sequence identification information of the above-mentioned first signal is the identification of the preamble code. If the identification of the preamble code is different, at least one of the scrambling sequence, initialization sequence, cyclic shift of the sequence, and orthogonal cover code included in the preamble code sequence information is different.

[0069] The preamble in the embodiment of the present application consists of a cyclic prefix (CP) and a preamble sequence.

[0070] In the random access method of the embodiment of the present application, the first signal sent by the terminal is associated with the terminal identification information, so that the network side device can determine the terminal corresponding to the received first signal, and then can accurately communicate with the corresponding terminal subsequently.

[0071] Optionally, the random access method in the embodiment of the present application further includes:

[0072] The terminal receives a second signal, where the second signal is sent by a network side device through at least one node after the network side device determines the location information of the terminal by receiving the first signal.

[0073] The second signal may be a two-step random access message B;

[0074] Alternatively, the second signal is at least one of message 2 and message 4 of four-step random access.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, the location information of the terminal corresponds to at least one of the beam, AP and TRP.

[0076] Optionally, when the first signal is a preamble of the first random access message:

[0077] The terminal determines the first signal-related parameter according to the terminal identification-related information, including:

[0078] Determine a random access channel opportunity RO according to information of the detected N1 third signals, wherein the RO is associated with at least one of a time domain resource and a frequency domain resource for transmitting a preamble code, the third signal includes at least one of a downlink reference signal and a synchronization signal, N1 is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and the N1 third signals are sent through the same or different nodes;

[0079] Selecting a preamble code from at least one preamble code corresponding to the RO according to the terminal identification related information;

[0080] Determine relevant parameters of the preamble of the first random access message according to the selected preamble.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, the relevant parameters of the preamble code of the first random access message are associated with at least one of the N downlink parameter signals and the synchronization signal, and with the terminal identification related information.

[0082] As an optional implementation manner, the terminal determines the RO associated with the N1 reference signals or synchronization signals according to the measurement results of the N1 reference signals or synchronization signals (specifically, it can be determined according to the association relationship shown in Table 1), and then selects a preamble code associated with the terminal identification information from all preamble codes corresponding to the RO;

[0083] As another optional implementation method, the terminal determines the RO (which can be specifically determined according to the association relationship shown in Table 1) and the preamble code candidate set associated with the N1 reference signals or synchronization signals based on the measurement results of the N1 reference signals or synchronization signals, and then selects a preamble code associated with the terminal identification information from the preamble code candidate set, and the above-mentioned preamble code candidate set is determined based on the preamble code associated with the RO.

[0084] Further optionally, the terminal group identifier is associated with a first preamble group identifier, the terminal group identifier is obtained according to the terminal identifier related information, and the first preamble group identifier is an identifier of the preamble group to which the selected preamble belongs.

[0085] Here, in the above two optional implementations, the preambles may be divided into M groups, each preamble group corresponds to a preamble group identifier. The group identifier to which the preamble associated with the terminal identifier information belongs is the same as the group identifier of the terminal.

[0086] Table 1

[0087]

[0088] The preamble identifier or preamble index is associated with the preamble sequence format (e.g., at least one of the sequence length, the subcarrier spacing SCS, and the root sequence);

[0089] Among them, each combination of {preamble code identifier, time domain resources of the preamble code, frequency domain resources of the preamble code} may include multiple combinations of values ​​of preamble code identifiers, time domain resources of the preamble code, and frequency domain resources of the preamble code, and the terminal can select one combination of values ​​of {preamble code identifier, time domain resources of the preamble code, frequency domain resources of the preamble code} from them.

[0090] The third signal includes at least one of the following:

[0091] Synchronization Signal and PBCH Block (SSB), CSI reference signal (CSI-RS), tracking reference signal (TRS), positioning reference signals (PRS), and other downlink reference signals.

[0092] Optionally, the N1 reference signals or synchronization signals (such as SSB) have different synchronization rasters;

[0093] Optionally, frequency domain resources (such as carriers or resource blocks RB) or time domain resources of the N1 reference signals or synchronization signals are different;

[0094] Optionally, the terminal determines N1 information related to message 1 and sends multiple messages 1 according to the information of the detected N1 reference signals or synchronization signals, or determines N1 information related to message A and sends multiple messages A;

[0095] Optionally, the sequence formats of the N1 reference signals or synchronization signals are different;

[0096] Optionally, the N1 reference signals or synchronization signals are sent through the same or different AP / TRPs (e.g., the AP / TRP(s) associated with the N SSBs are different);

[0097] Optionally, the terminal determines beam information for sending message 1 or message A based on information of N1 detected reference signals or synchronization signals.

[0098] The information of N1 reference signals or synchronization signals is determined by the following method:

[0099] Information of N1 reference signals or synchronization signals measured by the UE, wherein the measured information includes at least one of a reference signal received power (RSRP), a signal-to-noise and interference ratio (SINR), and a reference signal received quality (RSRQ), wherein the measured RSRP, SINR, and / or RSRQ are all greater than or equal to a first threshold, and / or the difference between RSRP, SINR, and RSRQ is less than or equal to a second threshold; wherein the first threshold and the second threshold are notified to the UE by the network side device through a system message.

[0100] Optionally, the random access method in the embodiment of the present application further includes:

[0101] Determine N2 path loss values ​​according to the detected reference signal received powers RSRP of N2 third signals, where the third signal includes at least one of a downlink reference signal and a synchronization signal, and N2 is an integer greater than or equal to 1;

[0102] Determine the transmission power of the first signal according to the N2 path loss values.

[0103] Specifically, the real values ​​of N2 path loss values ​​are added to obtain a sum, and then the log of the sum with a base of 10 is taken to obtain a target path loss value; and then the transmission power of the first signal is calculated based on the target path loss value.

[0104] Here, the RSRP of multiple third signals associated with the first signal is considered. For example, if the multiple SSBs are sent through multiple APs, the transmit power of the first signal needs to consider the path loss from the multiple APs to the terminal. For example, the transmit power of message A of the two-step random access is determined based on the path loss from the multiple APs to the terminal, or the transmit power of message 1 of the four-step random access is determined.

[0105] If the first signal is retransmitted (such as message A retransmission, or message 1 retransmission), the retransmission transmission power is increased according to the number of retransmissions. If the SSB index is changed when message A is retransmitted, the power is not increased.

[0106] Optionally, the random access method in the embodiment of the present application further includes:

[0107] Determine a transmission carrier of the first signal according to measurement information of the detected N3 third signals, where N3 is an integer greater than or equal to 1;

[0108] The third signal includes at least one of a downlink reference signal and a synchronization signal, and the measurement information includes at least one of the following:

[0109] RSRP;

[0110] Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio SINR;

[0111] Reference signal received quality RSRQ.

[0112] In the embodiment of the present application, if the UE is configured by the base station with multiple uplink carriers (for example, a high frequency carrier and a low frequency carrier) to send message 1 (or message A), if the RSRP, SINR and / or RSRQ of the N3 third signals are all less than the third threshold, the UE sends MSG1 through the target carrier (for example, a carrier with a lower frequency); otherwise, the message 1 (or message A) is sent through another carrier (for example, a carrier with a higher frequency);

[0113] The method for determining the random access RNTI (RA-RNTI) is as follows: the RA-RNTI calculation formula is related to the carrier through which the message 1 (or message A) is sent, for example, related to the carrier ID;

[0114] In addition, in an embodiment of the present application, the method for determining the beam of message A or message 1 includes: if the frequency range is FR2, message A or message 1 needs to be sent to two TRPs or APs respectively through two beams of a panel or two beams of two panels.

[0115] Optionally, sending the first signal includes:

[0116] A two-step random access message A is sent, where the message A includes a preamble and a physical uplink shared channel PUSCH.

[0117] Optionally, sending the first signal further includes:

[0118] Sending an SRS before or after the PUSCH;

[0119] Alternatively, the SRS is sent during the process of sending the PUSCH.

[0120] In an embodiment of the present application, terminal identification related information is associated with SRS, and the association rule is defined by the protocol. The time domain resources and frequency domain resources of SRS are the same as the time domain resources and frequency domain resources of PUSCH, or the time domain resources and frequency domain resources of SRS are notified to the terminal by the network side device.

[0121] Optionally, the second signal is a two-step random access message B;

[0122] Before receiving the second signal, the method further includes:

[0123] receiving a fourth signal;

[0124] Wherein, the fourth signal is quasi co-location (QCL) with a DMRS of a two-step random access message B;

[0125] The fourth signal is a synchronization signal block SSB or a tracking reference signal TRS, or the fourth signal is the strongest SSB or downlink reference signal detected by the terminal.

[0126] Here, the network side device assists the terminal in receiving the above-mentioned message B by sending the above-mentioned fourth signal.

[0127] Optionally, sending the first signal includes:

[0128] Send message 1 of the four-step random access.

[0129] Optionally, the receiving the second signal includes:

[0130] Message 2 of four-step random access is received, where message 2 includes relevant parameters of the preamble code of message 1.

[0131] The transmission parameters of the message 2 are determined by the network side device according to the location information of the terminal corresponding to the first signal, and the transmission parameters include at least one of the transmission node identifier and the beam.

[0132] Optionally, the message 2 indicates at least one of a time domain position and a frequency domain position corresponding to receiving the message 4 by the terminal.

[0133] Optionally, message 2 indicates the time-frequency domain resources and transmission format of message 3.

[0134] In an embodiment of the present application, if the terminal successfully receives a message 2 (decoded using RA-RNTI), and the preamble code identifier in the message 2 is the same as the preamble code identifier sent by the terminal, it is considered that the message 2 is successfully received. At this time, the terminal can stop monitoring the message 2.

[0135] If the terminal does not receive message 2, or receives message 2 but message 2 does not carry the preamble identifier, the terminal retransmits message 1.

[0136] Here, the transmission format of the message 1 is the same as the transmission format of the previously transmitted message 1; the transmission power of the retransmitted message 1 is higher than the transmission power of the initial transmission.

[0137] Optionally, the random access method in the embodiment of the present application further includes:

[0138] If the preamble code identifier in the preamble code related parameters carried in the message 2 is the same as the identifier of the preamble code sent by the terminal, a message 3 for four-step random access is sent.

[0139] Optionally, sending the first signal further includes:

[0140] Before or after the message 3, sending an SRS;

[0141] Alternatively, the SRS is sent on at least one symbol of the time slot where the message 3 is located.

[0142] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal identification related information is associated with the SRS, and the association rule is defined by the protocol. The time domain resources and frequency domain resources of the SRS are the same as the time domain resources and frequency domain resources of the PUSCH, or the time domain resources and frequency domain resources of the SRS are notified to the terminal by the network side device through message 2.

[0143] Optionally, the random access method in the embodiment of the present application further includes:

[0144] receiving a fifth signal;

[0145] Among them, the fifth signal is quasi-co-located with the DMRS of message 4 of the four-step random access, the fifth signal is a synchronization signal block SSB or a tracking reference signal TRS, or the fifth signal is the DMRS of message 2.

[0146] In the embodiment of the present application, the network side device can determine the location information of the corresponding terminal according to the above SRS, determine the transmission parameters of message 4 according to the location information, and send message 4 based on the determined transmission parameters. Before sending the message 4, the above fifth signal is sent to the terminal to assist the terminal in receiving message 4.

[0147] Optionally, before the above step 201, the method further includes:

[0148] The terminal receives a signaling from a network device, such as a system information block (SIB), indicating at least one of the following:

[0149] Multiple transmission node information (such as ID information), where the transmission node may be a cell, a TRP and / or an AP;

[0150] Transmit node location information (can be encrypted);

[0151] The SSB, CSI-RS or TRS information associated with each transmission node, such as the sequence information of the signal, the time-frequency resources of the signal, etc.

[0152] The SIB is a SIB sent by a cell, TRP or AP, or is sent via a SFN (Single Frequency Network).

[0153] Optionally, before the above step 201, the method further includes:

[0154] The terminal receives the random access channel RACH resources indicated by the network side device through signaling, such as SIB. For example, in the cell free scenario, the SIB contains information about shared RACH resources corresponding to multiple surrounding cells, TRPs or APs; wherein the SIB is a SIB sent by a cell, TRP or AP, or is sent through an SFN (single frequency network).

[0155] Optionally, the network side device may broadcast multiple frequency point information of RACH resources through SIB, and the terminal may select a frequency point from the multiple frequency points for RACH transmission, for example, select a frequency point for RACH transmission according to the measured SSB RSRP size.

[0156] In an embodiment of the present application, the first signal sent by the terminal is associated with the terminal identification information, so that the network side device can determine the terminal corresponding to the received first signal, and then determine the location information of the terminal corresponding to the first signal, and then adjust the transmission parameters of the subsequent signals (message 2, message 4 or message B) according to the location information of the terminal, such as transmission node or beam information, to reduce potential interference between APs or TRPs and improve the signal reception quality of subsequent signals.
