It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, only the base station in the NR system is taken as an example, but the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0040] In the following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, a random access method provided by an embodiment of the present application is described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0041] The method of the embodiment of the present application is executed by a terminal, and the terminal, such as user equipment, can refer to an access terminal, a user unit, a user station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, a wireless communication device, a user agent or a user device. The terminal can also be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (Session Initiation Protocol, SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (Wireless Local Loop, WLL) station, a PDA, a handheld device with wireless communication function, a computing device or other processing equipment connected to a wireless modem, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, a random access method in an embodiment of the present application is executed by a terminal, including:

[0043] Step 201, sending message A in two-step random access;

[0044] The message A includes a preamble and a physical uplink shared channel PUSCH;

[0045] At least one of the preamble related information and the PUSCH related information indicates location related information of the terminal.

[0046] In this way, the terminal executes step 201 to send message A including the preamble code and the PUSCH in the two-step random access. Since at least one of the relevant information of the preamble code and the relevant information of the PUSCH can indicate the location-related information of the terminal, the network device can receive the message A, that is, receive the preamble code and the PUSCH. Further, based on at least one of the relevant information of the preamble code and the relevant information of the PUSCH, the location-related information of the terminal can be understood to determine the sending-related information of the message B in the two-step random access, so as to realize random access in the cell free scenario.

[0047] Moreover, the sending related information of the message B is determined according to the location related information, which reduces the potential interference between APs and improves the received signal quality of the message B.

[0048] The message A includes the PUSCH, that is, the message carried on the PUSCH.

[0049] It should be known that the nodes receiving message A (MSG A), determining the sending related information of message B (MSG B), and sending message B may be the same node or different nodes, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0050] In this embodiment, at least one of the relevant information of the preamble and the relevant information of the PUSCH indicates the location-related information of the terminal. Specifically, the relevant information of the preamble may independently indicate the location-related information of the terminal, the relevant information of the PUSCH may independently indicate the location-related information of the terminal, or the relevant information of the preamble and the relevant information of the PUSCH may jointly indicate the location-related information of the terminal. Furthermore, the indication of the location-related information of the terminal may be an explicit indication of the location-related information of the terminal, or an implicit indication through a mapping relationship. The mapping relationship may be predefined or configured by the base station; or, some parameters of the mapping relationship may be configured by the base station, and the relevant rules or calculation formulas of the mapping relationship are predefined.

[0051] Optionally, the relevant information of the preamble includes at least one of the following:

[0052] Sequence information;

[0053] Time domain resource information;

[0054] Frequency domain resource information.

[0055] Here, the preamble sequence information includes a sequence identifier (preamble index / ID), a sequence length, a root sequence, a scrambling sequence, an initialization sequence, a subcarrier spacing (SCS), a cyclic shift of the sequence or an orthogonal cover code, etc. One or more of the above information may indicate the location-related information or part of the location-related information of the terminal through a pre-set mapping relationship.

[0056] The preamble index / ID is associated with a sequence format (for example, at least one of a sequence length, an SCS, a root sequence, etc.), and the association relationship is predefined or configured by a base station; or, some relevant parameters of the association relationship are configured by a base station, and relevant rules or calculation formulas of the association relationship are predefined.

[0057] Optionally, the PUSCH related information includes at least one of the following:

[0058] Bit information carried by the PUSCH;

[0059] Demodulation reference signal related information of the PUSCH;

[0060] Time domain resource information of the PUSCH;

[0061] The frequency domain resource information of the PUSCH.

[0062] One or more of the above information may indicate the location-related information or part of the location-related information of the terminal through a pre-set mapping relationship. In addition, the bit information carried by the PUSCH may also be the location-related information or part of the location-related information of the terminal to achieve explicit indication. Here, the demodulation reference signal-related information may be the scrambling sequence, resources, and other information of the DMRS.

[0063] Optionally, when the relevant information of the preamble code and the relevant information of the PUSCH jointly indicate the location-related information of the terminal, the relevant information of the preamble code indicates first information of the location-related information, and the relevant information of the PUSCH indicates second information of the location-related information.

[0064] For example, the first mapping relationship defines the correspondence between the first information of the location-related information (such as the first type of location representing the location area) and the preamble-related information, as shown in Table 1:

[0065] Table 1

[0066]

[0067] Optionally, each combination of {preamble index, preamble time domain resource, preamble frequency domain resource} may include multiple value combinations of preamble index, preamble time domain resource, and preamble frequency domain resource.

[0068] The second mapping relationship defines the correspondence between the second information of the location-related information (such as the second type of location in the location area) and the PUSCH-related information. The second information is another part of the location-related information, indicating a more detailed location than the first information. For example, the first type of location 1 includes 4 second type of locations, namely, locations 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, and 1-4, which are indicated by 2 bits carried by PUSCH. Therefore, the network device can determine the location-related information of the terminal based on the first type of location indicated by the relevant information of the preamble and the second type of location indicated by the relevant information of the PUSCH. For example, the base station finally determines that the location information of the terminal is location 1-2 based on the first type of location 1 indicated by the relevant information of the detected preamble and the second type of location indicated by the 2 bits carried by PUSCH.

[0069] Optionally, the location-related information includes at least one of the following:

[0070] Location information;

[0071] A measurement that is related to position.

[0072] Here, the position information is complete position information, which can be realized as: a two-dimensional grid based on the two-dimensional coordinates of the origin (such as Figure 3 The grid 301 shown in the figure, or a three-dimensional grid in three-dimensional coordinates; a sub-area in polar coordinates based on the origin; absolute longitude and latitude information; relative position information relative to a reference point or the previously reported position information; position change, position area change indication information; and position quality information.

[0073] The format of the location information (such as the size of the grid, the size of the sub-region in polar coordinates, the selection of the origin, etc.) is sent by the base station to the terminal, or is pre-defined (such as agreed in the protocol).

[0074] For the method of jointly indicating the location-related information of the terminal, Figure 3 Taking the two-dimensional coordinate grid diagram shown as an example, the first type of position indicated by the preamble related information is an area including A grids (such as area 302 of 4 grids), and the second type of position indicated by the PUSCH related information includes an area 303 of B grids (such as area 303 of 1 grid), A>B. Among them, area 302 is located in the network coverage area 304.

[0075] The measurements related to location are incomplete location information. Network devices need to combine other information (such as the location of network devices) to obtain the complete location information of the terminal. Measurements related to location include: the arrival angle of different signals (and beam information); Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), such as the RSRP of different signals; and the delay between different signals.

[0076] It is known from the above content that at least one of the preamble related information and the PUSCH related information in the message A needs to indicate the location related information of the terminal. Therefore, in this embodiment, optionally, before step 201, it also includes:

[0077] Measuring N1 first measurement signals to determine the location-related information of the terminal;

[0078] Determine at least one of the following based on the location-related information:

[0079] Related information of the preamble;

[0080] The PUSCH related information;

[0081] The N1 first measurement signals are sent by at least one first node, and N1 is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0082] Here, the first measurement signal can be at least one of a downlink reference signal and a synchronization signal, then the N1 first measurement signals can be N1 downlink reference signals, can be N1 synchronization signals, or can be M downlink reference signals and K synchronization signals, M+K=N1, M and K are integers greater than or equal to 0.

[0083] Among them, the downlink reference signal includes: at least one of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) and a tracking reference signal (TRS). Of course, the downlink signal can also be other downlink reference signals other than the above signals, which are not listed here. The synchronization signal includes but is not limited to the synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel signal block (Synchronization Signal and PBCH Block, SSB).

[0084] Optionally, the N1 first measurement signals satisfy at least one of the following:

[0085] Signals in the same cell, or signals in different cells;

[0086] Sent by different APs / TRPs (e.g., N1 SSBs are associated with different APs / TRP(s));

[0087] The sync raster (e.g. SSB's sync raster) is different;

[0088] The frequency domain resources (e.g., carriers or resource blocks (RBs)) and / or time domain resources are different;

[0089] The sequence format is different.

[0090] Moreover, for the N1 first measurement signals obtained by measurement, the signal parameters of the N1 first measurement signals are greater than or equal to the first threshold, and / or the difference between the signal parameters of the N1 first measurement signals is less than or equal to the second threshold. Here, the signal parameter includes: at least one of RSRP, signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and reference signal received quality (RSRQ). The first threshold and the second threshold are notified to the terminal by the network device through a system message.

[0091] Specifically, the location-related information of the terminal is determined based on N1 first measurement signals, which can be achieved through one or more of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS), radio frequency identification (RFID), ultra-wide band (UWB), Bluetooth, wireless local area network Wi-Fi, network-based positioning technology or other positioning technologies.

[0092] After the location-related information of the terminal is determined, at least one of the preamble-related information and the PUSCH-related information may be further determined according to the location-related information.

[0093] The specific implementation of determining at least one of the preamble related information and the PUSCH related information according to the location related information may be implemented by inverse processing of at least one of the preamble related information and the PUSCH related information indicating the location related information of the terminal.

[0094] For example, in the case where the relevant information of the preamble and the relevant information of the PUSCH jointly indicate the location-related information of the terminal, the relevant information of the preamble can be determined by the first type of position of the location-related information; and the 2-bit information carried by the PUSCH can be determined by the second type of position of the location-related information. In this way, if the location information of the terminal is position 1-2, the relevant information of the preamble can be determined by Table 1 from the first type of position 1, and the 2-bit information carried by the PUSCH can be determined from the second type of position 1-2.

[0095] In addition, since each {preamble index, preamble time domain resource, preamble frequency domain resource} combination may include multiple preamble index, preamble time domain resource, preamble frequency domain resource value combinations, the terminal may select one {preamble index, preamble time domain resource, preamble frequency domain resource} value combination as the relevant information of the preamble in message A. Specifically, the selection method includes:

[0096] Method 1: The terminal first determines the RACH Occasion (RO) associated with the location-related information according to the location-related information, and then selects a preamble from all preambles of the RO, for example, randomly selects a preamble; wherein RO is the time domain resource and frequency domain resource for one MSG1 transmission;

[0097] Method 2: The terminal determines the RO associated with the location-related information and determines a preamble candidate set, and then selects a preamble from the preamble candidate set, for example, randomly selects a preamble.

[0098] In addition, for the case where the PUSCH related information independently indicates the location related information of the terminal, the preamble related information is not associated with the location related information of the terminal. Optionally, before sending the message A in the two-step random access, the method further includes:

[0099] N2 first measurement signals are measured to determine relevant information of the preamble code; wherein the N2 first measurement signals are sent by at least one first node, and N2 is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0100] Here, N2 may or may not be equal to N1.

[0101] Optionally, the N2 first measurement signals satisfy at least one of the following:

[0102] The sync raster (such as SSB's sync raster) is different;

[0103] The frequency domain resources (such as carrier or RB) and / or time domain resources are different;

[0104] The sequence format is different;

[0105] Sent by the same or different AP / TRP (e.g., N2 SSBs are associated with different AP / TRP(s)).

[0106] Similarly, for the N2 first measurement signals obtained by measurement, the signal parameters of the N2 first measurement signals are greater than or equal to the first threshold, and / or the difference between the signal parameters of the N2 first measurement signals is less than or equal to the second threshold. Here, the signal parameter includes: at least one of RSRP, Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) and Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ). The first threshold and the second threshold are notified to the terminal by the network device through a system message.

[0107] Specifically, the relevant information of the preamble is determined by the N2 first measurement signals, which can be based on the association between the two. For example, the third mapping relationship defines the corresponding relationship between the preamble related information and the N2 SSBs, as shown in Table 2:

[0108] Table 2

[0109]

[0110] Each combination of {preamble index, preamble time domain resource, preamble frequency domain resource} may include multiple combinations of values ​​of preamble index, preamble time domain resource, preamble frequency domain resource, and the UE may select one combination of values ​​of {preamble index, preamble time domain resource, preamble frequency domain resource} from them to send. Specifically, the selection method includes:

[0111] Method 1: The terminal first determines the RO associated with the N2 first measurement signals, and then selects a preamble from all preambles of the RO, for example, randomly selects a preamble;

[0112] Method 2: The terminal determines the RO associated with the N2 first measurement signals, determines a preamble candidate set, and then selects a preamble from the preamble candidate set, for example, randomly selects a preamble.

[0113] In this embodiment, optionally, after determining the relevant information of the preamble, the terminal can also determine the relevant information of the associated PUSCH and demodulation reference signal (DMRS) according to the relevant information of the preamble, and send the PUSCH of the MSGA. For example, after selecting a certain RO and a certain preamble index of the RO, the UE finds the corresponding PO and DMRS resources used to transmit the PUSCH through a predefined mapping rule.

[0114] Generally speaking, message sending is performed based on transmission power and transmission carrier, so, optionally, before step 201, the following is further included:

[0115] Measuring N3 first measurement signals to determine at least one of a transmit power and a transmit carrier of the message A; wherein the N3 first measurement signals are sent by at least one first node, and N3 is an integer greater than or equal to 1;

[0116] The sending of message A in two-step random access includes:

[0117] The message A is sent according to at least one of the transmission power and the transmission carrier of the message A.

[0118] Here, N3 may be equal to N1 or N2, or may be different. In this case, the N3 first measurement signals are used to determine at least one of the transmission power of message A and the transmission carrier.

[0119] Optionally, determining the transmit power of the message A includes:

[0120] Determine N3 path loss values ​​respectively according to the received powers of the N3 first measurement signals;

[0121] The transmission power of the message A is determined according to the N3 path loss values.

[0122] Taking the first measurement signal as SSB as an example, consider the RSRP of multiple SSBs associated with MSG A; for example, the multiple SSBs are sent through multiple APs, and the transmission power of MSGA will be determined based on the path loss from multiple APs to the terminal.

[0123] Specifically, according to the N3 path loss values, the transmission power of the message A is determined by adding the path loss values ​​of the N3 SSBs to obtain a sum, then taking the log of the sum with a base of 10 to obtain the target path loss value, and then calculating the transmission power of the MSGA based on the target path loss value.

[0124] In addition, if MSG A is retransmitted, the transmission power of the retransmission is increased according to the number of retransmissions. Of course, if the SSB index is changed during the retransmission of MSG A, the power is not increased.

[0125] As for the transmission carrier, the signal parameters of the N3 first measurement signals can be used to select the uplink carriers for sending MSG A configured by the terminal by the base station. Assume that the terminal is configured with a high-frequency carrier and a low-frequency carrier by the base station for sending MSG A. If the RSRP, SINR and RSRQ of the N3 first measurement signals are all less than the corresponding thresholds, the terminal sends MSGA through the target carrier (e.g., a carrier with a lower frequency); otherwise, MSGA is sent through another carrier (e.g., a carrier with a higher frequency).

[0126] Among them, based on the determined sending carrier of the MSGA, the RA-RNTI (Random Access-Radio Network Temporary Identity) can be further determined: the RA-RNTI calculation formula is related to the carrier that sends the MSGA, for example, the carrier ID.

[0127] For beam-related information for sending MSGA, if it is millimeter wave (FR2), MSGA needs to be sent to two TRPs / APs respectively through two beams of a panel or two beams of two panels.

[0128] In this embodiment, optionally, the terminal measures one or more first measurement signals and may also determine beam-related information for sending the preamble.

[0129] Optionally, the terminal measures one or more first measurement signals, and may also determine relevant information of one or more preambles and relevant information of the PUSCH, and send one or more MSG A.

[0130] Optionally, the terminal measures one or more first measurement signals, and determines the random access using two-step RACH or four-step RACH based on the RSRP size obtained by the measurement, that is, determines to send the preamble code of MSG1 or MSGA. For example, if the Q (Q is an integer greater than or equal to 1) first measurement signals obtained by the measurement meet certain conditions, such as the Q RSRPs are all greater than the third threshold, or the sum of the Q RSRPs is greater than the fourth threshold, the preamble code of MSGA is sent; otherwise, MSG1 is sent.

[0131] After the terminal sends message A, the network device that receives the message A can determine the sending related information of message B based on at least one of the related information of the preamble and the related information of the PUSCH, and send message B. For the sent message B, optionally, after step 201, the following is further included:

[0132] Receiving a message B in a two-step random access sent by at least one first node;

[0133] The sending related information of the message B is associated with at least one of the related information of the preamble and the related information of the PUSCH;

[0134] The sending-related information of message B includes at least one of the following:

[0135] identification information of the at least one first node;

[0136] Send the beam related information of the message B.

[0137] Here, the beam-related information includes the direction of the beam, Quasi Co-Location (QCL) information, Transmission Configuration Index (TCI) status information, and the like.

[0138] As known from the above content, at least one of the preamble-related information and the PUSCH-related information indicates the location information of the terminal, and the network device determines the sending-related information of message B based on the preamble and PUSCH received in message A and the location information of the terminal indicated by at least one of the preamble-related information and the PUSCH-related information. Here, the correspondence between the location-related information and the sending-related information of message B is predefined or configured.

[0139] For example, the fourth mapping relationship defines the correspondence between the location-related information of the terminal and the beam-related information of message B, as shown in Table 3:

[0140] Table 3

[0141]

[0142] The fifth mapping relationship defines the correspondence between the location-related information of the terminal and the node identifier of the sending message B (cell free), as shown in Table 4:

[0143] Table 4

[0144]

[0145] The sixth mapping relationship defines the correspondence between the location-related information of the terminal and the node identifier / beam-related information of the sending message B (cell free), as shown in Table 5:

[0146] Table 5

[0147]

[0148] In this way, after the network device further determines the sending-related information of message B based on the location-related information of the terminal indicated by at least one of the preamble-related information and the PUSCH-related information, it sends message B according to at least one of the sending-related information.

[0149] In addition, in an embodiment of the present application, optionally, the method further includes:

[0150] Sending a first reference signal associated with a terminal identifier;

[0151] Receiving a message B in a two-step random access sent by at least one first node;

[0152] The sending-related information of the message B is associated with the location-related information determined by the first reference signal;

[0153] The sending-related information of message B includes at least one of the following:

[0154] identification information of the at least one first node;

[0155] Send the beam related information of the message B.

[0156] Here, the terminal sends the first reference signal, which means that after receiving the first reference signal, the network device can determine the location-related information of the terminal based on the first reference signal, thereby determining the sending-related information of message B. Here, the correspondence between the location-related information and the sending-related information of message B is predefined or configured, and its specific manner is the same as the implementation of the location information of the terminal indicated by at least one of the preamble-related information and the PUSCH-related information and the sending-related information of message B, which will not be repeated here.

[0157] The first reference signal may be a sounding reference signal (Sounding Reference Signal, SRS).

[0158] Optionally, the first reference signal is sent before or after the PUSCH, or on at least one symbol of a time slot where the PUSCH is located.

[0159] Optionally, the embodiment further includes:

[0160] receiving N4 second measurement signals; wherein the N4 second measurement signals are sent by the at least one first node, and N4 is an integer greater than or equal to 1;

[0161] The message B is received according to the beam-related information of the N4 second measurement signals.

[0162] That is, to ensure that the terminal receives message B, before sending message B, the network device sends N4 second measurement signals through at least one first node to assist the terminal in receiving MSG B. After receiving the N4 second measurement signals, the terminal can receive the message B according to the beam-related information of the N4 second measurement signals.

[0163] Specifically, the terminal assumes that the DMRS of MSG B is quasi-co-located with the detected second measurement signal; the terminal assumes that the DMRS of MSG B is quasi-co-located with the second measurement signal with the strongest signal parameter.

[0164] Here, the second measurement signal includes at least one of a synchronization signal and a TRS. Then the N4 second measurement signals may be N4 TRSs, may be N4 synchronization signals, or may be E TRSs and F synchronization signals, where E+F=N4, and E and F are integers greater than or equal to 0.

[0165] In addition, since the network device can also send relevant information of multiple nodes so as to receive the first measurement information and / or the second measurement signal, accordingly, the method further includes:

[0166] Receive relevant information of multiple nodes;

[0167] The relevant information of the multiple nodes includes at least one of the following:

[0168] identifications of the plurality of nodes;

[0169] The locations of the plurality of nodes;

[0170] Information of synchronization signals or reference signals associated with the multiple nodes;

[0171] Random access resource information associated with the multiple nodes.

[0172] Here, the multiple nodes include at least one of cell, TRP and AP. For multiple nodes, their identification may be a node ID; their location may be encrypted; their associated synchronization signal (SSB) or reference signal (CSI-RS, TRS) information includes signal sequence information, signal time-frequency resources, etc. For the random access resource information associated with multiple nodes, in the cell free scenario, it is the information of the shared RACH resources corresponding to the multiple nodes.

[0173] The relevant information of the multiple nodes is sent by the network device through signaling (such as SIB signaling), and the SIB is a SIB sent by a node, or a SIB sent by an SFN (single frequency network). The network device can also broadcast multiple frequency point information of the RACH resource through the SIB, and the terminal can select a frequency point from the corresponding multiple frequency points for RACH transmission, for example, select a frequency point for RACH transmission according to the measured SSB RSRP size.

[0174] In summary, the method of the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 4 In the scenario shown, terminal 1 determines its own location-related information by receiving SSB1 sent by AP1, SSB2 sent by AP2, and SSB3 sent by AP3. Afterwards, terminal 1 determines at least one of the preamble-related information and PUSCH-related information based on the location-related information, and then terminal 1 can determine message A and send message A. Among them, if the preamble-related information is not associated with the location-related information, SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3 can also be used to determine the preamble-related information. SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3 can also be used to determine at least one of the transmission power and the transmission carrier of message A.
