[0003] With the continuous development of IoT services, such as video surveillance, smart homes, wearable devices, and industrial sensing and monitoring, these services typically require speeds of tens to 100 Mbps, while also having relatively high latency requirements. Therefore, technologies like Machine-Type Communication (MTC) and Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) are insufficient to meet these requirements. Consequently, a new type of terminal has been proposed to cover mid-range IoT devices within the 5G New Radio (NR) interface. In the current 3GPP standardization, this new type of terminal is called a Reduced Capability UE, or simply NR-lite or Redcap terminal.

[0004] The introduction of Redcap terminals has led to a differentiation in terminal capabilities. For example, Redcap terminals have limited transmit and receive bandwidth compared to normal UEs, thus requiring differentiated bandwidth configurations.

[0071] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0072] The access method provided in this disclosure can be applied to... Figure 1 The wireless communication system shown. (See attached image) Figure 1 As shown, this wireless communication system includes a terminal and a network device. The terminal and the network device send and receive information through wireless resources.

[0073] Understandable, Figure 1 The wireless communication system shown is for illustrative purposes only. A wireless communication system may also include other network devices, such as core network equipment, wireless relay equipment, and wireless backhaul equipment. Figure 1 Not shown in the diagram. This disclosure does not limit the number of network devices and terminals included in the wireless communication system.

[0074] It is further understood that the wireless communication system of this disclosure is a network providing wireless communication functionality. The wireless communication system can employ different communication technologies, such as code division multiple access (CDMA), wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA), and carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance. Based on factors such as capacity, speed, and latency, networks can be categorized as 2G networks, 3G networks, 4G networks, or future evolution networks, such as 5G networks. 5G networks can also be referred to as New Radio (NR). For ease of description, this disclosure may sometimes simply refer to the wireless communication network as a network.

[0075] Furthermore, the network device involved in this disclosure can also be referred to as a wireless access network device. This wireless access network device can be: a base station, an evolved Node B (eB) base station, a home base station, an access point (AP) in a Wi-Fi system, a wireless relay node, a wireless backhaul node, a transmission point (TP), or a transmission and reception point (TRP), etc. It can also be a gNB in ​​an NR system, or a component or part of a base station. When it is a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication system, the network device can also be an in-vehicle device. It should be understood that the specific technologies and device forms used in the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited.

[0076] Furthermore, the terminal involved in this disclosure can also be referred to as a terminal device, user equipment (UE), mobile station (MS), mobile terminal (MT), etc., and is a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user. For example, a terminal can be a handheld device with wireless connectivity, an in-vehicle device, etc. Currently, some examples of terminals include: smartphones (Mobile Phones), pocket personal computers (PPCs), handheld computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), laptops, tablets, wearable devices, or in-vehicle devices, etc. In addition, when it is a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication system, the terminal device can also be an in-vehicle device. It should be understood that the embodiments of this disclosure do not limit the specific technology or specific device form adopted by the terminal.

[0077] The terminal involved in the embodiments of this disclosure can be understood as a new type of terminal designed in 5G NR: Reducedcapability UE, or simply NR-lite. In the embodiments of this disclosure, this new terminal is referred to as a Redcap terminal.

[0078] Similar to Internet of Things (IoT) devices in Long Term Evolution (LTE), Redcap terminals typically need to meet the following requirements:

[0079] -Low cost, low complexity

[0080] - Some degree of coverage enhancement

[0081] - Power saving

[0082] Since current NR systems are designed for high-end terminals with high speed and low latency, they cannot meet the requirements of Redcap terminals. Therefore, the current NR system needs to be modified to meet the requirements of NR-lite. For example, to meet requirements such as low cost and low complexity, the radio frequency (RF) bandwidth of NR-IoT can be limited, for example, to 5 MHz or 10 MHz, or the size of the NR-lite buffer can be limited, thereby limiting the size of each received transmission block, etc. Regarding power saving, possible optimization directions include simplifying the communication process and reducing the number of times the NR-lite terminal detects the downlink control channel.

[0083] In related technologies, a unified random access resource configuration method is adopted for all types of terminals. For example, in NR systems, terminal access configuration is performed through the RACH-ConfigCommon information element. The first part of the RACH-ConfigCommon information element configuration is used to configure the total amount of random access resources for the cell. The configured random access resources include time-domain resources, frequency-domain resources, and random access preambles used for random access. The second part of the RACH-ConfigCommon information element configuration is used to configure the mapping relationship between the Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB) and random access resources. For example, it configures the mapping relationship between the SSB and random access resources such as the common control resource set (common CORESET) and the Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH).

[0084] In traditional LTE systems, only one synchronization channel and one broadcast channel are transmitted per cycle. However, NR introduces the concept of multi-beam transmission. Therefore, SSB transmission is also based on multi-beam transmission. That is, within one cycle, an SSB is transmitted using multiple beams. An SSB transmitted using different beams within a cycle is called an SSB burst. Each SSB in an SSB burst corresponds to a different subset of random access resources, for example... Figure 2 As shown, there is a correspondence between SSBs and PRACHs. The protocol defines the mapping relationship between each SSB in an SSB burst and the random access resources. For the protocol specifications regarding the mapping relationship between each SSB in an SSB burst and the random access resources, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 As shown.

[0085] See Figure 3As shown, `ssb-per RACH-Occasion` is used to configure the mapping between SSBs and ROs, and represents the number of SSBs corresponding to one RACH occasion. The value of `ssb-per RACH-Occasion` ranges from oneEighth to sixteen. Different values ​​of `ssb-per RACH-Occasion` represent different mapping relationships between SSBs and ROs. When `ssb-per RACH-Occasion > 1`, it means that multiple SSBs correspond to one RACH occasion. Further details can be found in [link to documentation]. Figure 2 As shown, each SSB-per RACH-Occasion value corresponds to a CB-PreamblesPerSSB set. CB-PreamblesPerSSB configures the number of contention-based random access preambles that each SSB can use within a RO. Different values ​​of CB-PreamblesPerSSB represent the number of different contention-based preambles used by the synchronization broadcast signal block.

[0086] In the current R15 and R16 systems, there is a mapping relationship between SSBs and PRACHs. The terminal first measures the SSBs and then determines the SSBs that meet the specified conditions. After determining the SSBs, the terminal uses the mapping relationship between the SSBs and PRACHs to determine the PRACH resources corresponding to the selected SSBs for random access.

[0087] However, as mentioned earlier, a single SSB burst contains multiple SSBs, and different SSBs use different beams for transmission. Furthermore, each SSB has a corresponding CORESET#0, a common physical downlink control channel (common PDCCH), and a System Information Block (SIB) scheduled by the common PDCCH. The CORESET#0, common PDCCH, and common PDSCH corresponding to a particular SSB have the same quasi-co-location (QCL) relationship with that SSB.

[0088] In related technologies, due to the bandwidth limitations of RedCap terminals, it is necessary to configure dedicated initial downlink bandwidth portions (initial DL BWP) and / or initial uplink bandwidth portions (initial UL BWP) for RedCap terminals. That is, a RedCap terminal is configured with two initial DL BWPs and / or two initial UL BWPs. One is the original general-purpose bandwidth portion (BWP), hereinafter referred to as the first initial BWP, and the other is a BWP specifically for RedCap terminals, hereinafter referred to as the second initial BWP. The first initial BWP may include a first initial DL BWP and / or a first initial UL BWP. The second initial BWP may include a second initial DL BWP and / or a second initial UL BWP.

[0089] In related technologies, the first and second initial BWPs are each configured with channel information transmitted on these BWPs, such as SSB information and random access resources mapped to the SSB information, such as commonCORESET and PRACH resources. However, RedCap terminals use the random access resources configured on the second initial BWP when performing random access, but a RedCap terminal can correspond to SSBs on multiple BWPs. Which BWP's SSB the random access resources used by the RedCap terminal should be mapped to is a problem that requires further optimization and research.

[0090] This disclosure provides a random access method applied to a terminal configured with a first initial bandwidth portion and a second initial bandwidth portion. The random access method includes: determining first information; and performing random access based on the first information. The first initial bandwidth portion is a general-purpose bandwidth portion, the second initial bandwidth portion is a bandwidth portion specifically for RedCap terminals, and the first information indicates first SSB information, which is the SSB information configured in the first initial bandwidth portion.

[0091] This disclosure provides a random access method in which random access resources such as PRACH and CORESET on the second Initial BWP are explicitly mapped to SSBs in the first Initial DL BWP, or are mapped to SSBs in the second Initial DL BWP.

[0092] For ease of description, the SSB information configured in the first Initial BWP is referred to as the first SSB information. The random access resource information configured in the first Initial BWP is referred to as the first random access resource information. The SSB information configured in the second Initial BWP is referred to as the second SSB information. The random access resource information configured in the second Initial BWP is referred to as the second random access resource information.

[0093] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a random access method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the random access method is used in a terminal, which can be understood as a RedCap terminal. The random access method includes the following steps.

[0094] In step S11, in response to the terminal being configured with a first initial BWP and a second initial BWP, first information is determined.

[0095] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first initial BWP is configured with first SSB information and first random access resource information, and the second initial BWP is configured with second SSB information and second random access resource information.

[0096] The first information is used to indicate SSB information that has a mapping relationship with the second random access resource information configured in the second initial BWP.

[0097] In step S12, random access is performed based on the first information.

[0098] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the second random access resource information may be mapped to the first SSB information in the first initial BWP, or it may be mapped to the second SSB information in the second initial BWP. Alternatively, the second random access resource information may be mapped to both the first SSB information in the first initial BWP and the second SSB information in the second initial BWP.

[0099] In one implementation, the second random access resource information is mapped to the first SSB information in the first initial BWP. The first SSB information can be configured in the first initial DL BWP. The terminal can monitor the first SSB information in the first initial DL BWP and determine the second random access resource based on the monitored first SSB information.

[0100] Figure 5This is a flowchart illustrating a random access method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the random access method used in the terminal includes the following steps.

[0101] In step S21, the first SSB information is monitored in the first initial BWP.

[0102] In step S22, the second random access resource information is determined based on the monitored first SSB information, and random access is performed based on the second random access resource information.

[0103] In one embodiment, the second random access resource information in this disclosure includes a set of PRACH resources configured for the RedCap terminal, hereinafter referred to as the second PRACH resource set. That is, the RedCap terminal can map the PRACH resources configured for the RedCap terminal to the first SSB information on the first Initial DL BWP.

[0104] Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating a random access method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the random access method used in the terminal includes the following steps.

[0105] In step S31, the first SSB information is monitored in the first initial BWP.

[0106] In step S32, the time-frequency domain information of the first PRACH resource set is determined based on the monitored first SSB information.

[0107] In step S33, the time-frequency domain information of the first PRACH resource is used as the time-frequency domain information of the second PRACH resource set.

[0108] In one embodiment, the second random access resource information in this disclosure includes a common core set, hereinafter referred to as the second common core set. First information is used to indicate that the second common core set in the second random access resource has a mapping relationship with the first SSB information. Specifically, the second common core set monitored by the RedCap terminal on the second initial DL BWP may have the same spatial beam information as the first SSB determined on the first initial DL BWP, for example, having the same QCL.

[0109] Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating a random access method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the random access method used in the terminal includes the following steps.

[0110] In step S41, the first SSB information is monitored in the first initial BWP.

[0111] In step S42, the spatial beam information of the first SSB is determined based on the monitored first SSB information.

[0112] In step S43, the spatial beam information of the first SSB is used as the spatial beam information of the second general control resource set.

[0113] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the second PRACH resource set configured for the RedCap terminal is mapped to the first SSB on the first Initial DLBWP, and / or the second commonCORESET monitored on the second Initial DLBWP is configured to have the same spatial beam information as the first SSB determined on the first initial DLBWP. This can reduce the access latency of the terminal, and the terminal can perform random access after reading the corresponding configuration on the first initial DLBWP.

[0114] In one example, the second PRACH resource set configured for the RedCap terminal is mapped to the first SSB on the first Initial DL BWP. Simultaneously, the common core set monitored on the second Initial DL BWP has the same QCL as the SSB determined on the first initial DL BWP. The RedCap terminal can determine the random access resource information on the second initial DL BWP during random access using the following method.

[0115] The RedCap terminal can obtain SSB information (first SSB information) on the first Initial DL BWP and determine the PRACH configuration on the second Initial UL BWP and / or the second Initial UL BWP based on the SSB configuration or other preset rules on the first Initial DL BWP. Then, based on the SSB information monitored on the first Initial DL BWP (including the number of SSBs in the entire SSB burst and the index of the SSB currently monitored by the terminal), it determines the available second PRACH resource set. The available second PRACH resource set can be multiple PRACH resource sets, and these multiple second PRACH resource sets have a mapping relationship with multiple first SSBs. The RedCap terminal can determine the first SSB that satisfies random access based on the measurement results and perform random access based on the second PRACH resource set mapped from the first SSB.

[0116] Furthermore, the RedCap terminal obtains the configuration of the common core set on the second initial DL BWP. Based on the SSB information obtained on the first initial DL BWP, it can further determine the QCL information of the common core set. That is, the terminal receives the common core set on the second initial DL BWP using the same QCL information as the SSB monitored on the first initial DL BWP. In addition, in this embodiment, the time-domain position of the common core set on the second initial DL BWP can be further determined based on the time-domain position of the first SSB monitored on the first initial DL BWP.

[0117] In this embodiment, the PRACH resources on the second initial DL BWP are mapped to the first SSB information on the first initial DL BWP. Simultaneously, the common coreset monitored on the second initial DL BWP shares the same QCL as the first SSB information determined on the first initial DL BWP. Once the terminal has read the corresponding configuration on the first initial DL BWP, it can perform random access, reducing access latency. However, when the terminal needs to perform random access in connected mode, a BWP handover is required. The BWP is switched to the first initial DL BWP to measure the corresponding SSB resources in order to determine the random access resources on the second initial DL BWP.

[0118] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the second random access resource information may be mapped to the first SSB information in the first initial BWP and to the second SSB information in the second initial BWP. For example, the second common core set may be mapped to the first SSB information, but the second PRACH resource set is not mapped to the first SSB on the first initial DL BWP, but to the second SSB on the second initial DL BWP. That is, the first information is used to indicate that the second common core set is mapped to the first SSB information, and the second PRACH resource set in the second random access resource is mapped to the second SSB information.

[0119] In another embodiment of this disclosure, the second random access resource information and the second SSB information have a mapping relationship. For example, the second PRACH resource set configured for the RedCap terminal is mapped to the second SSB on the second Initial DL BWP, and the second common CORESET monitored on the second Initial DL BWP has the same spatial beam information as the second SSB determined on the second initial DL BWP, such as having the same QCL.

[0120] In this embodiment of the disclosure, in order to reduce the time for the terminal to monitor the second SSB on the second initial DL BWP, monitoring conditions for the second SSB can be set. When it is determined that the monitoring conditions for monitoring the second SSB are met, the second SSB information is monitored, and the second random access resource information is determined based on the monitored second SSB information. Random access is then performed based on the second random access resource information.

[0121] The monitoring conditions for the second SSB include at least one of the following: the time condition for monitoring the information of the second SSB; and the mapping relationship condition between the first SSB and the second SSB.

[0122] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the monitoring conditions of the second SSB can be determined by a predefined method, or they can be a notification message carried in the first SSB information, through which the monitoring conditions of the second SSB are indicated.

[0123] In one example, a mapping relationship between the SSB on the second initial DL BWP and the SSB on the first initial DL BWP is predefined. The terminal can narrow down or directly determine the second SSB to be monitored based on the preset relationship.

[0124] Wherein, if there is a mapping relationship between the second random access resource information and the second SSB information, the terminal can determine the second SSB information on the second initial DL BWP, the mapping relationship between the second SSB information and the PRACH on the second initial UL BWP, and / or the mapping relationship between the second SSB information and the common CORESET on the second initial DL BWP.

[0125] Before random access, the terminal needs to measure the SSBs on the second initial DL BWP to determine the second SSBs that meet the conditions. Then, based on the mapping relationship, it selects the second PRACH resource set corresponding to the second SSB that meets the conditions. Specifically, the terminal receives the common CORESET based on the second SSB determined in the second initial DL BWP, including determining the QCL and reception time based on this second SSB.

[0126] Based on the above embodiments, the random access method provided in this disclosure explicitly maps the random access resources (common CORESET and PRACH) on the second initial BWP to the SSBs on the first initial DL BWP. Alternatively, the random access resources (common CORESET and PRACH) on the second initial BWP are mapped to the SSBs on the second initial DL BWP. Therefore, when performing random access, the random access resources corresponding to random access on the second initial BWP can be directly determined, which can improve communication efficiency.

[0127] Based on the same concept, embodiments of this disclosure also provide a random access method applied to network devices.

[0131] In step S52, first information is sent, which is used to indicate SSB information that has a mapping relationship with the second random access resource information configured in the second initial BWP.

[0132] In one implementation, the first information is used to indicate that the second random access resource information and the first SSB information have a mapping relationship.

[0133] On one hand, the first information is used to indicate that the second general control resource set in the second random access resource has a mapping relationship with the first SSB information. On the other hand, the first information is used to indicate that the second physical random access channel (PRACH) resource set in the second random access resource has a mapping relationship with the first SSB information. Alternatively, the first information is used to indicate that the second physical random access channel (PRACH) resource set in the second random access resource has a mapping relationship with the second SSB information.

[0134] In another implementation, the first information is used to indicate that the second random access resource information and the second SSB information have a mapping relationship.

[0135] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first information is used to indicate that when there is a mapping relationship between the second random access resource information and the second SSB information, a notification message is carried in the first SSB information, and the monitoring conditions for monitoring the second SSB are indicated through the notification message.

[0136] In one implementation, the monitoring conditions include at least one of the following:

[0137] The time conditions for monitoring the second SSB information; the mapping relationship conditions between the first SSB and the second SSB.

[0138] Based on the above embodiments, the random access method provided in this disclosure explicitly maps the random access resources (common CORESET and PRACH) on the second initial BWP to the SSBs on the first initial DL BWP. Alternatively, the random access resources (common CORESET and PRACH) on the second initial BWP are mapped to the SSBs on the second initial DL BWP. Therefore, when performing random access, the random access resources corresponding to random access on the second initial BWP can be directly determined, which can improve communication efficiency.
