Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a synchronization method, apparatus, network equipment, terminal, storage medium and program product. Background Art

[0002] The existing random access process is as follows: an idle terminal searches for Master Information Block (MIB) messages in all cells and initiates a residency. After searching the MIB, the terminal obtains the Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) index information. Then, based on the physical random-access channel (PRACH) resource corresponding to the subsequently received System Information Block (SIB), it initiates random access on the contention-based PRACH resource corresponding to the SSB. After receiving the PRACH, the base station determines the terminal's beam direction based on the PRACH resource's time-frequency domain location and then sends downlink data.

[0003] However, in low-altitude coverage, due to the Line of Sight (LOS) environment, signal cross-interference is severe, resulting in a longer cell radius and a larger coverage area. Furthermore, due to co-frequency coverage between air and ground, meaning that a single air cell is covered by numerous ground cells, the probability of confusion between physical cell identifiers (PCIs) is multiplied. This results in the terminal measuring the MIB of cell A and the SIB of cell B, leading to access and station failures. The PCI of cell A is the same as that of cell B.

[0004] For example, a cell broadcasts five SSBs, and a terminal determines through measurement that SSB 2 is the best. For the terminal, a downlink beam pair has already been formed (the base station transmits beam SSB2, and the terminal receives beam SSB2), but the base station is unaware of this information. Based on the optimal SSB2 received beam direction, the terminal transmits a PRACH in that direction and selects PRACH or preamble resources based on the association between the PRACH and SSB index. Upon receiving the PRACH preamble, the base station deduces from the mapping that downlink SSB 2 is the best downlink beam for the terminal and subsequently performs downlink transmissions to the terminal on that SSB. However, the terminal reports SSB2 for cell A, but receives SSB2 for cell B, preventing the terminal from receiving downlink data on SSB2 in cell B. Summary of the Invention

[0069] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages to be solved by this application clearer, a detailed description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0070] It should be understood that references throughout this specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic associated with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present application. Therefore, the appearances of "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" throughout this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, these particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0071] In the various embodiments of the present application, it should be understood that the size of the serial numbers of the following processes does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.

[0072] Additionally, the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably herein.

[0073] In the embodiments provided herein, it should be understood that "B corresponding to A" means that B is associated with A and B can be determined based on A. However, it should also be understood that determining B based on A does not mean determining B based solely on A; B can also be determined based on A and / or other information.

[0074] Below, the implementation process of the synchronization method, apparatus, network equipment, terminal, storage medium and program product provided in the embodiments of the present application is described in detail.

[0075] The embodiment of the present application provides a synchronization method, which is applied to a first cell. Here, the first cell is, for example, a target cell that a terminal needs to access, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0076] Step 101: Send a first master information block (MIB) to a terminal. The first MIB carries scheduling information of a first system information block (SIB1).

[0077] Step 102: Send SIB1 to the terminal, where the SIB1 carries first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate whether to perform secondary synchronization.

[0078] That is, one bit can be added to the existing SIB1 to indicate whether secondary synchronization is required. For example, if it is clear based on a priori knowledge that there is PCI confusion between the first cell and at least one other cell, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to perform secondary synchronization. If it is clear based on a priori knowledge that there is no PCI confusion between the first cell and any other cell, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal not to perform secondary synchronization. Exemplarily, the first indication information can be added to the noncelldefinizeSSB information element (IE) in SIB1, where the first indication information can also be referred to as a secondary synchronization configuration parameter.

[0079] Step 103: When the first indication information indicates secondary synchronization, a non-cell defining synchronization signal block (NCD-SSB) is sent to the terminal. The NCD-SSB is used for the terminal to perform secondary synchronization.

[0080] Here, it should be noted that NCD-SSB refers to an SSB that is not associated with the remaining minimum system information (RMSI).

[0081] On the basis of the above step 103, the terminal performs secondary synchronization based on the received NCD-SSB to ensure that the information in the subsequently acquired MIB is synchronized with the parameters of the cell in the received SIB1 (the target cell to be accessed, which is the first cell in this embodiment) through secondary synchronization, thereby ensuring that the target cell can be successfully accessed subsequently.

[0082] Further, in a case where the first indication information indicates non-secondary synchronization, the terminal may perform a cell access procedure based on the currently received first MIB and SIB1.

[0083] In the synchronization method of the embodiment of the present application, first, a first MIB is sent to the terminal, and the first MIB carries the scheduling information of SIB1; secondly, SIB1 is sent to the terminal, and the SIB1 carries first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate whether secondary synchronization is performed; thirdly, when the first indication information indicates secondary synchronization, a non-cell-defined synchronization signal block NCD-SSB is sent to the terminal, and the NCD-SSB is used for the terminal to perform secondary synchronization. In this way, through secondary synchronization, in the scenario of PCI confusion, the terminal can be synchronized with the cell corresponding to the best SSB discovered by measurement, and the parameters of the cell can be further obtained, so that subsequent terminals can successfully access the cell, solving the problem of terminal access failure due to PCI confusion.

[0084] As an optional implementation method, the SIB1 also carries the resource location information of the NCD-SSB; exemplarily, when the first indication information indicates secondary synchronization, n bits may be added to the SIB, and the n bits carry the resource location information of the NCD-SSB.

[0085] Wherein, based on the above content, step 103 includes:

[0086] Send the NCD-SSB to the terminal on the resource corresponding to the resource location information of the NCD-SSB.

[0087] As a specific implementation, step 101 includes:

[0088] A cell defining synchronization signal block (CD-SSB) is sent to the terminal, wherein the CD-SSB carries the first MIB, and the CD-SSB is used for the terminal to perform a synchronization.

[0089] It should be noted here that CD-SSB refers to the SSB associated with RMSI. Among them, CD-SSB carries synchronization signals (Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS)) and Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH), wherein PBCH is used to transmit MIB. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the first cell sends the first MIB by sending CD-SSB to the terminal.

[0090] As an optional implementation, the beam pattern of the NCD-SSB is the same as the beam pattern of the CD-SSB, and the physical random access channel PRACH resource position corresponding to the beam of the same pattern is the same. In this way, after receiving the NCD-SSB, the terminal can still access the CD-SSB (previously received CD-SSB) position corresponding to the NCD-SSB.

[0091] Based on the above optional implementation method, the embodiments of the present application also include: the network device configures CD-SSB and NCD-SSB in different positions for each cell, wherein the beam pattern of NCD-SSB of each cell is configured the same as the beam pattern of CD-SSB, and the PRACH resource positions corresponding to beams of the same style are also the same; wherein, the configuration of CD-SSB can continue the used method.

[0092] Furthermore, as an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0093] Based on the physical cell identifier PCI of the first cell, the resource location occupied by the NCD-SSB is determined, wherein the resource locations occupied by the NCD-SSB of different cells are different.

[0094] That is to say, the resource location occupied by the NCD-SSB of each cell is related to the PCI of the cell, and the resource location occupied by the NCD-SSB of each cell is different. In this way, it can be ensured that the NCD-SSB locations (occupied resources) of different cells no longer conflict.

[0095] As a specific implementation manner, determining the resource location occupied by the NCD-SSB based on the physical cell identifier PCI of the first cell includes at least one of the following:

[0096] (1) Determine the frequency domain position occupied by the NCD-SSB based on the first remainder and the second remainder of N; wherein the first remainder is the remainder of the network device ID and the PCI of the first cell, and the area covered by the network device corresponding to the network device ID includes the first cell; N is related to the ratio of the total bandwidth to the number of physical resource blocks (PRBs) in the NCD-SSB; in other words, the position of the frequency domain resource occupied by the NCD-SSB can be represented by the second remainder, that is, the identifier (such as an index or ID, etc.) of the position of the frequency domain resource occupied by the NCD-SSB is the second remainder.

[0097] Exemplarily, N is related to the ratio of the total bandwidth to the number of PRBs in the NCD-SSB, for example, N is the value obtained by rounding down the above ratio, or N is the value obtained by rounding up the above ratio.

[0098] (2) Determine the initial time domain position occupied by the NCD-SSB based on the sum of the network device identification ID and a first random number; wherein the first random number is a random number between 1 and M; M is the ratio of the NCD-SSB period to the system subframe length; in other words, the initial position of the time domain resource occupied by the NCD-SSB can be represented by the sum of the network device ID and the first random number, that is, the identifier (such as an index or ID, etc.) of the initial position of the time domain resource occupied by the NCD-SSB is the sum of the network device ID and the first random number.

[0099] (3) Determine the frequency domain position occupied by the NCD-SSB according to the sum of the PCI of the first cell and a second random number; wherein the second random number is a random number between 1 and N; in other words, the position of the frequency domain resources occupied by the NCD-SSB can be represented by the sum of the PCI of the first cell and the second random number, that is, the identifier (such as an index or ID, etc.) of the position of the frequency domain resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is the sum of the PCI of the first cell and the second random number.

[0100] (4) Determine the initial time domain position occupied by the NCD-SSB based on the remainder of the PCI and M of the first cell; in other words, the initial position of the time domain resources occupied by the NCD-SSB can be expressed by the remainder of the PCI and M of the first cell, that is, the identifier (such as an index or ID, etc.) of the initial position of the time domain resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is the remainder of the PCI and M of the first cell.

[0101] (5) Determine the frequency domain position occupied by the NCD-SSB based on the remainder of the PCI and N of the first cell; in other words, the position of the frequency domain resources occupied by the NCD-SSB can be represented by the remainder of the PCI and N of the first cell, that is, the identifier (such as an index or ID, etc.) of the position of the frequency domain resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is the remainder of the PCI and N of the first cell.

[0102] (6) Determine an initial time domain position occupied by the NCD-SSB based on the sum of the PCI of the first cell and the first random number. In other words, the initial position of the time domain resources occupied by the NCD-SSB can be represented by the sum of the PCI of the first cell and the first random number. That is, an identifier (such as an index or ID) of the initial position of the time domain resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is the sum of the PCI of the first cell and the first random number.

[0103] It should be noted that, in the above specific implementation, firstly, the remainder of A and B represents the result of A modulo B, and the sum of A and B represents the result of adding A and B. Secondly, when calculating the frequency domain position or the time domain initial position, adding a random number can reduce the probability of NCD-SSB conflict.

[0104] Here, it should be noted that the examples of the above-mentioned specific implementation methods are as follows: Example 1, the frequency domain position of the resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is calculated according to the above-mentioned method (1), and the time domain initial position of the resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is calculated according to the above-mentioned method (2); Example 2, the frequency domain position of the resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is calculated according to the above-mentioned method (3), and the time domain initial position of the resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is calculated according to the above-mentioned method (4); Example 4, the frequency domain position of the resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is calculated according to the above-mentioned method (5), and the time domain initial position of the resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is calculated according to the above-mentioned method (6). Among them, the NCD-SSB occupies one resource in the frequency domain, and the NCD-SSB occupies 4 symbols in the time domain.

[0105] In the above specific implementation method, the time domain position and frequency domain position of the resources occupied by NCD-SSB respectively use the network equipment ID or the PCI of the first cell plus a random number module to stagger the time domain resources and frequency domain resources to avoid confusion between NCD-SSBs in different cells.

[0106] The embodiment of the present application also provides a synchronization method, which is applied to a terminal, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0107] Step 201: Receive a first MIB sent by a network device, where the first MIB carries scheduling information of SIB1, and the coverage area of ​​the network device includes a first cell.

[0108] In the above step 201, the first MIB sent by the network device to the terminal includes the first MIB of one or more cells covered by the network device.

[0109] Step 202: Determine, based on the first MIB, that the target cell is the first cell.

[0110] The above step 202 may specifically be: the terminal searches the first MIB, and determines a target cell (a cell that the terminal desires to access) based on the search results.

[0111] Step 203: Receive SIB1 sent by the first cell according to the first MIB corresponding to the first cell, where the SIB1 carries first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate whether secondary synchronization is performed.

[0112] The above step 203 is to obtain the scheduling information of SIB1 by parsing the first MIB, and then receive SIB1 sent by the first cell based on the scheduling information of SIB1.

[0113] That is, one bit can be added to the existing SIB1 to indicate whether secondary synchronization is required. For example, if it is clear based on a priori knowledge that there is PCI confusion between the first cell and at least one other cell, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to perform secondary synchronization. If it is clear based on a priori knowledge that there is no PCI confusion between the first cell and any other cell, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal not to perform secondary synchronization. Exemplarily, the first indication information can be added to the noncelldefinizeSSB IE in SIB1, where the first indication information can also be referred to as a secondary synchronization configuration parameter.

[0114] Step 204: When the first indication information indicates secondary synchronization, receive NCD-SSB according to the SIB1.

[0115] Step 205: Perform secondary synchronization according to the second MIB in the NCD-SSB.

[0116] In step 205, the terminal performs secondary synchronization based on the received NCD-SSB to ensure that the information in the acquired second MIB is synchronized with the parameters of the cell (the target cell to be accessed, in this embodiment, the first cell) in the received SIB1 through secondary synchronization, thereby ensuring subsequent successful access to the target cell. The second MIB may carry, for example, a system frame number (SFN), SSB-index, k-SSB, etc.

[0117] Further, in a case where the first indication information indicates non-secondary synchronization, the terminal may perform a cell access procedure based on the currently received first MIB and SIB1.

[0118] In the synchronization method of the embodiment of the present application, first, a first MIB sent by a network device is received, the first MIB carrying scheduling information for SIB1, and the coverage area of ​​the network device includes a first cell; second, based on the first MIB, the target cell is determined to be the first cell; third, based on the first MIB corresponding to the first cell, SIB1 sent by the first cell is received, the SIB1 carrying first indication information, the first indication information being used to indicate whether secondary synchronization is to be performed; then, if the first indication information indicates secondary synchronization, the NCD-SSB is received based on the SIB1; finally, secondary synchronization is performed based on the second MIB in the NCD-SSB. In this way, it is possible to ensure that the information carried in the acquired second MIB (such as SFN, SSB-index, k-SSB, etc.) is synchronized with the parameters of the cell (the target cell to be accessed, which is the first cell in this embodiment) in SIB1, ensuring that subsequent terminals can successfully access the target cell, and resolving the issue of access failure caused by PCI confusion.

[0119] As an optional implementation, step 204 includes:

[0120] The NCD-SSB is received on the resource corresponding to the resource location information of the NCD-SSB carried by the SIB1.

[0121] Here, it should be noted that, when the first indication information indicates secondary synchronization, the SIB1 also carries the resource location information of the NCD-SSB; illustratively, n bits can be added to the SIB, and the n bits carry the resource location information of the NCD-SSB.

[0122] Furthermore, as an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0123] Randomly access the first cell according to the SIB1 and the second MIB.

[0124] In the above optional implementation method, the terminal can initiate random access according to the IE (such as SFN, SSB-index, k-SSB) in the second MIB in the secondary synchronized NCD-SSB and the PRACH resources in the SIB1 message, thereby ensuring that the cell configuration of the access cell is consistent, such as: time-frequency code spatial domain resource alignment.

[0125] As a specific implementation, step 201 includes:

[0126] Receive a CD-SSB sent by a network device, wherein the CD-SSB carries the first MIB, and the CD-SSB is used for the terminal to perform a synchronization.

[0127] It should be noted that the CD-SSB carries synchronization signals (PSS and SSS) and PBCH, wherein the PBCH is used to transmit the MIB. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the network device transmits the first MIB by sending the CD-SSB to the terminal.

[0128] As an optional implementation manner, the beam pattern of the NCD-SSB in the same cell is the same as the beam pattern of the CD-SSB, and the PRACH resource positions corresponding to the beams of the same pattern are the same.

[0129] Based on the above optional implementation method, the embodiments of the present application also include: the network device configures CD-SSB and NCD-SSB in different positions for each cell, wherein the beam pattern of NCD-SSB of each cell is configured the same as the beam pattern of CD-SSB, and the PRACH resource positions corresponding to beams of the same style are also the same; wherein, the configuration of CD-SSB can continue the used method.

[0130] As an optional implementation method, the resource location occupied by the NCD-SSB is related to the PCI of the first cell, wherein the resource locations occupied by the NCD-SSB of different cells are different.

[0131] That is to say, the resource location occupied by the NCD-SSB of each cell is related to the PCI of the cell, and the resource location occupied by the NCD-SSB of each cell is different. In this way, it can be ensured that the NCD-SSB locations (occupied resources) of different cells no longer conflict.

[0132] As a specific implementation method, the method for determining the resource location occupied by the NCD-SSB includes at least one of the following:

[0133] (1) The frequency domain position is determined based on the first remainder and the second remainder of N; wherein the first remainder is the remainder of the network device ID and the PCI of the first cell; N is related to the ratio of the total bandwidth to the number of PRBs in the NCD-SSB; in other words, the position of the frequency domain resources occupied by the NCD-SSB can be represented by the second remainder, that is, the identifier (such as an index or ID, etc.) of the position of the frequency domain resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is the second remainder.

[0134] Exemplarily, N is related to the ratio of the total bandwidth to the number of PRBs in the NCD-SSB, for example, N is the value obtained by rounding down the above ratio, or N is the value obtained by rounding up the above ratio.

[0135] (2) The initial position in the time domain is determined based on the sum of the network device ID and a first random number; wherein the first remainder is the remainder of the network device ID and the PCI of the first cell; wherein the first random number is a random number between 1 and M; M is the ratio of the period of the NCD-SSB to the system subframe length; in other words, the initial position of the time domain resource occupied by the NCD-SSB can be represented by the sum of the network device ID and the first random number, that is, the identifier (such as an index or ID, etc.) of the initial position of the time domain resource occupied by the NCD-SSB is the sum of the network device ID and the first random number.

[0136] (3) The frequency domain position is determined based on the sum of the PCI of the first cell and a second random number; wherein the second random number is a random number between 1 and N; in other words, the position of the frequency domain resources occupied by the NCD-SSB can be represented by the sum of the PCI of the first cell and the second random number, that is, the identifier (such as an index or ID, etc.) of the position of the frequency domain resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is the sum of the PCI of the first cell and the second random number.

[0137] (4) The initial position in the time domain is based on the remainder of the PCI of the first cell and M. In other words, the initial position of the time domain resources occupied by the NCD-SSB can be represented by the remainder of the PCI of the first cell and M, that is, the identifier (such as an index or ID, etc.) of the initial position of the time domain resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is the remainder of the PCI of the first cell and M.

[0138] (5) The frequency domain position is determined based on the remainder of the PCI of the first cell and N. In other words, the position of the frequency domain resources occupied by the NCD-SSB can be represented by the remainder of the PCI of the first cell and N, that is, the identifier (such as an index or ID, etc.) of the position of the frequency domain resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is the remainder of the PCI of the first cell and N.

[0139] (6) The time domain initial position is determined based on the sum of the PCI of the first cell and the first random number. In other words, the initial position of the time domain resources occupied by the NCD-SSB can be represented by the sum of the PCI of the first cell and the first random number. That is, the identifier (such as an index or ID) of the initial position of the time domain resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is the sum of the PCI of the first cell and the first random number.

[0140] It should be noted that, in the above specific implementation, firstly, the remainder of A and B represents the result of A modulo B, and the sum of A and B represents the result of adding A and B. Secondly, when calculating the frequency domain position or the time domain initial position, adding a random number can reduce the probability of NCD-SSB conflict.

[0141] Here, it should be noted that the examples of the above-mentioned specific implementation methods are as follows: Example 1, the frequency domain position of the resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is calculated according to the above-mentioned method (1), and the time domain initial position of the resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is calculated according to the above-mentioned method (2); Example 2, the frequency domain position of the resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is calculated according to the above-mentioned method (3), and the time domain initial position of the resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is calculated according to the above-mentioned method (4); Example 4, the frequency domain position of the resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is calculated according to the above-mentioned method (5), and the time domain initial position of the resources occupied by the NCD-SSB is calculated according to the above-mentioned method (6). Among them, the NCD-SSB occupies one resource in the frequency domain, and the NCD-SSB occupies 4 symbols in the time domain.

[0142] In the above specific implementation method, the time domain position and frequency domain position of the resources occupied by NCD-SSB are staggered by using the network equipment ID or the PCI of the first cell plus a random number module to avoid confusion between NCD-SSBs in different cells.

[0143] A specific example of the synchronization method in the embodiment of the present application is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0144] Step 301: The first cell sends the MIB to the terminal. This step corresponds to the aforementioned first cell sending the first MIB to the terminal, and the scheduling information of the SIB under the first MIB.

[0145] Step 302, the first cell sends SIB1 to the terminal; this step corresponds to the aforementioned first cell sending SIB1 to the terminal, the SIB1 carries first indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate whether secondary synchronization occurs; wherein, in this example, the first indication information is used to indicate secondary synchronization of the terminal.

[0146] In step 303, the first cell sends an NCD-SSB to the terminal; this step corresponds to the aforementioned case where the first indication information indicates secondary synchronization, sending a non-cell defined synchronization signal block NCD-SSB to the terminal, and the NCD-SSB is used for the terminal to perform secondary synchronization.

[0147] In step 304, the terminal initiates a first message (Message1, MSG1) using the NCD-SSB index and SIB1 PRACH. This step corresponds to performing secondary synchronization according to the second MIB in the NCD-SSB, and randomly accessing the first cell according to the SIB1 and the second MIB.

[0148] The above-mentioned synchronization method of the embodiment of the present application, firstly, realizes that when the terminal is in the IDEL state, a secondary synchronization scheme is adopted to ensure the uplink and downlink synchronization of the terminal, so that the terminal can successfully access the cell and reside there. Secondly, the network device configures the corresponding NCD-SSB while configuring the CD-SSB for the cell. In order to avoid confusion between the NCD-SSBs of different cells, the time domain position and frequency domain position of the resources occupied by the NCD-SSB are staggered by the network device (such as base station) ID or PCI plus random modulus to stagger the time domain and frequency domain resources; thirdly, by adding the first indication information in SIB1, specifically adding the secondary synchronization configuration parameter in the noncelldefinizeSSB IE of SIB1, after receiving this parameter, the terminal receives the MIB of the NCD-SSB again after receiving SIB1 (corresponding to the aforementioned second MIB), ensures that the MIB is synchronized with the parameters of the cell in SIB1, and then initiates random access.

[0149] That is, the synchronization method of the embodiment of the present application, through secondary synchronization, adds a secondary synchronization switch (corresponding to the aforementioned first indication information) to the NCD-SSB configuration of SIB1. After receiving SIB1 containing the switch-on flag, the terminal receives NCD-SSB, obtains the MIB message configuration of the same cell as SIB1, completes uplink and downlink synchronization of the cell, and then initiates random access to access the cell. This can solve the problem of user access and resident failure after PCI confusion occurs in the idle state in low-altitude scenarios.

[0154] The SIB1 also carries the resource location information of the NCD-SSB;

[0155] Based on the above, the third sending module 403 is specifically used to: send the NCD-SSB to the terminal on the resources corresponding to the resource location information of the NCD-SSB.
