[0037] Firstly, the related technologies involved in the embodiments of the present application are described.

[0038] (1) Timing advance TA

[0039] In order to ensure the orthogonality of uplink transmission and avoid intra-cell interference, the base station requires that the signals from different UEs in the same frame arrive at the base station at substantially the same time. As long as the base station receives the uplink data sent by the UE within the cyclic prefix (CP) range, it can correctly decode the uplink data, so the uplink synchronization requires that the signals from different UEs in the same subframe arrive at the base station within the CP.

[0040] Therefore, timing advance (TA) is introduced for terminal uplink transmission, the purpose of which is to ensure that the signals of terminal uplink transmission arrive at the base station within the desired time, thereby ensuring the uplink alignment of multiple users. The specific implementation can be simply summarized as follows: the base station measures the radio frequency transmission time delay caused by the distance to estimate the TA value, and sends a timing advance command (TAC) to the terminal to inform the terminal to send the corresponding amount of time in advance.

[0041] The base station determines the TA value of each UE by measuring the uplink transmission of the UE. Therefore, as long as the UE has uplink transmission, the base station can be used to estimate the TA value. In theory, any signal (SRS / DMRS / CQI / ACK / NACK / PUSCH, etc.) sent by the UE can be used to measure the TA. In the random access process, the base station determines the TA value by measuring the received preamble.

[0042] From the perspective of the UE, the TA is a negative offset between the start time of receiving a downlink frame and the time of transmitting an uplink frame. By properly controlling the offset of each UE, the base station can control the time when the uplink signals from different UEs arrive at the base station. For UEs far away from the base station, due to the larger transmission delay, the uplink data needs to be sent in advance compared with UEs close to the base station. Without TA adjustment, the uplink signals of different UEs do not arrive at the base station at the same time, while after TA adjustment, the uplink signals of different UEs arrive at the base station at the same time.

[0043] In addition, for the carrier aggregation (CA) scenario, the time advance group (TAG) is introduced. Due to the time delay caused by multiple carriers, or the large difference in geographical location of Pcell and Scell of different carriers, a unified TA cannot be used for processing. Therefore, the concept of TAG is introduced, and the TA corresponding to the same TAG is the same, and the TA values corresponding to different TAGs are different.

[0044] (ii) UE acquires and compensates for TA or FO

[0045] In the existing NR mechanism, the measurement of TA is completed by the network side, and the UE is informed of the value of TA through two ways, and compensates for it by itself: random access and MAC CE.

[0046] 1) Random access: In 5G NR, in the initial access stage, the user equipment (UE) needs to obtain the frequency point of the access carrier by searching for the synchronization block (SS / PBCH Block, SSB) to achieve downlink synchronization. Because the frequency spectrum range of new radio (NR) is very wide, in order to reduce the complexity of search, the UE searches for SSB according to a certain frequency interval specified by the protocol, which is called synchronization raster. The UE detects the received power SS-RSRP of the synchronization signal on the corresponding frequency point according to the synchronization raster, and selects any SSB whose SS-RSRP is higher than the threshold value rsrp-ThresholdSSB. By demodulating the primary synchronization signal (PSS), secondary synchronization signal (SSS) and physical broadcast channel (PBCH) signals in the selected SSB, cell selection and synchronization with the base station are completed, and then random access is performed.

[0047] At present, random access can be divided into a process of contention-based or non-contention-based random access. According to the flow, the random access process can be divided into a 4-step random access process (also called Type-1 random access process) and a 2-step random access process (also called Type-2 random access process).

[0048] In NR Rel-15, the contention-based 4-step random access procedure (Random Access Channel, RACH) is as follows. The UE first sends Msg1, i.e. a random access preamble, to the network; after the network detects the preamble, it will send Msg2, i.e. a random access response (Random Access Response, RAR) message, containing the preamble number detected by the network, i.e. RAPID (RACH preamble ID), uplink PUSCH resources (UL grant information) allocated to the UE to send Msg3, temporary cell radio network temporary identifier (TC-RNTI), TA command, etc.; after the UE receives Msg2, if it confirms that at least one of the preamble numbers carried in Msg2 is consistent with the preamble number it sent, it will send Msg3 containing contention resolution information according to the uplink resources indicated in the RAR; if the network does not receive Msg3 PUSCH, it can schedule the retransmission of Msg3 PUSCH in the PDCCH scrambled by TC-RNTI. After the network receives Msg3, it will send Msg4 containing contention resolution information; after the UE receives Msg4, it confirms that the resolution information is consistent with the information it sent in Msg3, i.e. the 4-step random access is completed.

[0049] In NR Rel-16, the 2-step random access procedure (2-step RACH) is introduced. The UE first sends MsgA to the network side. After the network side receives MsgA, it sends MsgB message to the UE, which also contains the TA command to the UE.

[0050] In random access, the network side determines the TA value by measuring the received preamble and sends it to the UE through the Timing Advance Command in the RAR. In the MAC Payload of the RAR, the Timing Advance Command (TAC) is included, which is 12 bits in total, indicating a range of: T A = 0, 1, 2,..., 3846, assuming a subcarrier spacing of 2 μ * 15 kHz, N TA is determined by the following formula: N TA = T A · 16 · 64 / 2 μ That is, in NR, N TAThere is also a subcarrier spacing involved, which depends on the subcarrier spacing of the first uplink transmission after receiving the RAR, i.e. Msg3.

[0051] 2) TA maintenance after completing random access: In random access, the UE has completed timing advance, but the UE's location, etc. may change over time, so the base station needs to constantly maintain the timing advance, which is also carried by the MAC CE to the UE TAC. The indication range of TAC is T A = 0, 1, 2,..., 63, N TA Determined by the following formula: N TA_new = N TA_old +(T A -31)·16·64 / 2 μ , where N TA_old is the N TA used before receiving TAC, N TA_new is the updated N TA after receiving TAC.

[0052] In a general wireless communication system, the frequency of the UE's uplink transmission signal arriving at the network side may be offset due to the UE's own crystal oscillator offset, mobility, etc., i.e. FO. In the existing FO compensation mechanism of NR terrestrial network, the network side is fixed, and the UE can estimate the frequency offset value by receiving downlink reference signals such as SSB, CSI-RS, etc., and then compensate the FO of the received signal and the transmitted signal, so that the UE can correctly demodulate the signal transmitted by the network side, and the frequency of the UE's transmitted signal arriving at the network side is also on the correct frequency.

[0053] (Three) TA / Doppler shift pre-compensation in NTN

[0054] In the scenario of non-terrestrial network (NTN), the distance between satellite and UE is very far, and the RTT is very large, so it is necessary to define a different TA compensation method from TN. In R17 NTN, a TA compensation method is standardized for transparent forwarding NTN scenarios. Specifically, the whole time from gNB (or gateway) UE includes three segments of time from gNB to reference point (RP), RP to satellite, and satellite to UE. Among them, the TA from gNB to RP is implemented by gNB itself to ensure that the uplink and downlink at RP are synchronized, while the TA from RP to satellite is denoted as N TA,common , which is applicable to UEs connected to the same satellite; the TA from satellite to UE is denoted as N TA,UE-specific +N TA , where N TA,UE-specificThe position relationship between the UE and the satellite is related to the position of the UE and the satellite, and the motion trajectory of the satellite (such as ephemeris). If the position of the UE and the satellite, and the motion trajectory of the satellite are known (such as ephemeris), can be obtained as a constant, N TA Then, the and compensation are obtained by the method in (ii) above.

[0055] From the above description, the TA compensation of the NTN includes the compensation of the gNB (compensating the TA from the gNB to the RP) and the pre-compensation of the UE (N TA,UE-specific +N TA ). The total TA that needs to be compensated by the UE is determined by the following formula:

[0056] T TA =(N TA,UE-specific +N TA,common +N TA +N TA,offset )*T c

[0057] Wherein, N TA and N TA,offset are legacy behaviors, and T c is a preset value.

[0058] The parameters (time-varying constants, first-order variations, and second-order variations) for calculating N TA,common or the ephemeris information of the satellite need to be indicated by the gNB. For example, the gNB can indicate {TACommon, TACommonDrift, TACommonDriftVariation}, and then the UE can determine N TA,common according to the following formula:

[0059] N TA,common =TACommon(t epoch )+TACommonDrift*(t-t epoch )+TACommonDriftVariation*(t-t epoch ) 2

[0060] Wherein, t epoch is a reference time, and t is an actual time.

[0061] In addition to TA, since the satellite also moves at high speed, it will also cause Doppler shift and frequency offset. In related technologies, the frequency shift from the gNB to the satellite (feeder link) is compensated by the gNB itself, and the frequency shift from the satellite to the UE needs to be calculated and compensated by the UE itself according to its own position (such as GNSS feedback coordinates) and ephemeris information of the satellite.

[0062] (iv) Cell-free systems

[0063] A cell-free massive MIMO system can be considered as a deconstruction of the traditional massive MIMO system. In the traditional massive MIMO system, the antenna set is centralized in one site (base station), and the UEs are distributed in the form of cells around the base station. In the massive MIMO system, a large number of antennas are deployed in each base station. Therefore, a higher array gain and spatial resolution are provided. Multiple UEs can be served simultaneously on the same time-frequency resource, providing high throughput, high reliability, and high energy efficiency. The cell-free massive MIMO system breaks the concept of cells, and a large number of antennas are distributed in a wide area, and the UEs are also distributed in this wide area. These antennas are called transmit-receive points (TRPs) or access points (APs), and theoretically each UE can communicate with each AP. With the help of a front-haul network and a central processing unit (CPU), a large number of geographically dispersed TRPs can collectively serve a smaller number of UEs, and the CPU uses channel statistical information for joint detection. The cell-free massive MIMO network is expected to be applied to the next generation of indoor and hotspot coverage scenarios, such as smart factories, train stations, shopping centers, stadiums, subways, hospitals, community centers, or university campuses, etc.

[0064] In actual implementation, the cell-free network in the hotspot area can be regarded as a super cell containing multiple TRPs, wherein the multiple TRPs use the same cell ID, and according to the synchronization accuracy and connection relationship between the TRPs, multiple TRPs with high synchronization accuracy can implement cooperative transmission.

[0065] In the future 6G, the coverage of the cell-free system can be very large. At this time, if the macro TRP wants to cover more small TRPs, its coverage also needs to be very large. However, this can cause the coverage of the macro TRP to exceed the uplink timing estimation capability supported by the preamble, that is, due to the limitation of the design of the preamble, it cannot support the macro base station with a very large coverage. Therefore, in the cell-free scenario, the terminal can also need to pre-compensate the TA.

[0066] In the future 6G, NTN and TN can need a unified air interface design, wherein NTN communication can bring a larger TA and FO, and the cell free system in TN can also bring a larger TA, and these larger TA and FO need to add an additional pre-compensation amount on the basis of the existing TA and / or FO correction method, otherwise normal communication cannot be carried out. In the existing mechanism, these additional pre-compensation amounts require the UE to dynamically track and calculate the current pre-compensation amount according to the geographical position information of the UE and the geographical position information of the target cell / TRP. However, in the design of the unified air interface, it is unnecessary to require all UEs to support the above-mentioned pre-compensation mechanism, and there is currently no related mechanism for negotiating the UE and the network about the pre-compensation / post-compensation related capability interaction and parameter determination mechanism.

[0067] The communication method, the terminal and the network side device provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail in combination with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments and application scenarios.

The terminal performs timing advance TA and / or frequency offset FO compensation on the first signal, including pre-compensation or post-compensation of timing advance TA and / or frequency offset FO on the first signal.

[0079] It should be noted that the pre-compensation in the embodiments of the present application includes two cases:

[0080] (1) Based on the existing TA and / or FO acquisition and compensation mechanism, consider the TA and / or FO related to the position / speed / trajectory of UE / gNB / TRP that need to be additionally compensated in NTN or Cell free scenarios, such as the existing mechanism of NTN, N TA +N TA,offset corresponds to the TA compensation mechanism of the legacy, and N TA,UE-specific +N TA,common corresponds to the TA that needs to be additionally compensated.

[0081] The existing TA and / or FO acquisition and compensation mechanism refers to: only relying on the calculation and compensation of TA and / or FO by sending or measuring reference signals, without changing the value range or indication granularity or accuracy of the TA and / or FO of the existing mechanism.

[0082] (2) Modify the acquisition and compensation mechanism of the Legacy TA and / or FO, such as modifying the value range or indication granularity or accuracy, or modifying the calculation method to achieve similar effects as (1).

[0083] In addition, pre-compensation and post-compensation are relative. For one link (such as uplink), if the UE does not pre-compensate or the pre-compensation is not sufficient, the network needs to receive the signal of the UE through post-compensation; on the contrary, for another link (such as downlink), if the network does not pre-compensate, the UE needs to receive the signal sent by the network side through post-compensation. The following embodiments are written based on the UE pre-compensation of the uplink and the post-compensation of the network, but can be easily extended to the downlink case, which is UE post-compensation and network pre-compensation, all of which are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0084] In the embodiments of the present application, the TA and / or FO compensation includes: only TA compensation, only FO compensation, or TA and FO compensation. That is, the case of only focusing on TA compensation, only focusing on FO compensation, or both can be covered.

[0085] The communication method provided by the embodiments of the present application can realize additional compensation for TA and / or FO, and improve the communication quality and efficiency.

[0086] In some embodiments, the determining the first compensation value includes:

[0087] According to the first capability information of the terminal, or according to the first capability information of the terminal and the network type related information of the first network, the compensation type of TA and / or FO is determined.

[0088] According to the compensation type of TA and / or FO, the first compensation value is determined.

[0089] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal determines the compensation type of TA and / or FO according to the first capability information, or the terminal determines the compensation type of TA and / or FO according to the first capability information and the network type related information. Further, the first compensation value is determined according to the compensation type of TA and / or FO. The terminal and the network perform capability interaction related to pre-compensation / post-compensation, which can realize effective compensation for TA and / or FO, and improve the communication quality and efficiency.

[0090] Optionally, the terminal determines the compensation type of TA and / or FO according to the first capability information. The first capability information is used to indicate that the terminal supports the type of compensating TA and / or FO. Optionally, the first capability information is also used to indicate the granularity of compensating TA and / or FO.

[0091] In some embodiments, the first capability information includes at least one of the following:

[0173] The network type related information of the first network is used to indicate the type of TA and / or FO compensation supported by the network, and optionally, is also used to indicate the granularity of the TA and / or FO compensation supported.

[0187] The first TA and / or the first FO are legacy TA and / or FO, which can be described in the foregoing embodiments and will not be described here again.

[0188] It should be noted that Type 2 can be further expanded and refined, for example, the TA and / or FO support value range is different, the TA and / or FO fixed compensation value set size, and the like.

[0189] The network compensation types Type 1-3 can be combined with TA and FO in various ways, for example, only supporting TA compensation, only supporting FO compensation, or both supporting compensation, and the like.

[0199] 1 or more preset domain values, used to indicate whether the terminal is required to support TA and / or FO compensation and compensation granularity, or used to indicate the terminal needs to have compensation capability or type and compensation granularity.

[0200] For example, one fixed field is set to indicate whether UE is required to support TA and / or FO pre-compensation and its granularity, such as indicating TA offset to UE, if TA offset is 0, UE does not pre-compensate, if offset is X, it means UE is required to pre-compensate by X, X is a fixed value.

[0201] For example, two or more fields are set to indicate whether UE is required to support TA and / or FO pre-compensation and its granularity.

[0212] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0213] Obtaining the network type related information;

[0214] The obtaining of the network type related information includes one of:

[0215] receiving the network type related information, or the network compensation type and the corresponding compensation granularity, explicitly indicated by the system or broadcast message or groupcast or dedicated signaling;

[0216] receiving the compensation type or capability required by the terminal, or the compensation type or capability required by the terminal and the corresponding compensation granularity, indicated by the system or broadcast message or groupcast or dedicated signaling;

[0217] receiving one or more signals, resource or information corresponding to the one or more signals being associated with the network type related information of the first network, or the network compensation type and the corresponding compensation granularity;

[0220] It can be understood that the terminal obtains the network type related information or the network compensation type and the corresponding compensation granularity indicated by the network side device.

[0221] Optionally, the network side device explicitly indicates the network type related information or the network compensation type and the corresponding compensation granularity through the system or broadcast message or groupcast or dedicated signaling.

[0222] Optionally, the network side device implicitly indicates the compensation type or capability required by the terminal or the compensation type or capability required by the terminal and the corresponding compensation granularity through the system or broadcast message or groupcast or dedicated signaling.

[0223] For example, the TA pre-compensation value applied by the terminal or the parameter or formula for determining the pre-compensation value is indicated through the MIB or SIB field.

[0224] If the value of the pre-compensation required by the UE is 0, it means that the network side type is Type 1;

[0225] If the value of the pre-compensation required by the UE is a determined value or a group of determined values, it means that the network side type is Type 2;

[0226] If the value of the pre-compensation needed by the UE is a value that varies over time or motion trajectory or location, it means that the network side type is Type 3.

[0227] Optionally, the network side device indicates the network type related information, or the network compensation type and the corresponding compensation granularity, by sending one or more signals, wherein the corresponding resource or information of the one or more signals is associated with the network type related information of the first network, or the network compensation type and the corresponding compensation granularity. Correspondingly, the terminal receives the one or more signals, and can determine the network type related information of the first network, or the network compensation type and the corresponding compensation granularity.

[0228] For example, the signal is RACH, or other resources.

[0229] Optionally, the RACH configurations under type 1 / 2 / 3 are different, for example, the IE (Information Element) names of the RACH configurations are different, or the RACH preamble / RO, or the PRACH format, or the interval between the SSB and the RO, the starting mapping interval (or the interval with the RAR, etc.) are designed differently, and by associating the network side capability with the specific RACH configuration, the UE can know the network type or preference.

[0230] For example, the pattern, density, period, etc. of the broadcast SSB correspond to different network types or preferences.

[0231] Optionally, the network side device implicitly indicates the information for determining the network type related information through system or broadcast message or groupcast or dedicated signaling, and the terminal determines the network type related information of the first network, or the network compensation type and the corresponding compensation granularity according to the information for determining the network type related information.

[0232] For example, the network side device broadcasts the pattern, density, period, etc. of the SSB corresponding to different network heights, and then the terminal determines the network type related information or the network compensation type and the corresponding compensation granularity corresponding to the height.

[0233] In some embodiments, the indication / validity granularity corresponding to the network compensation type or the network type related information includes one of the following:

[0234] one synchronization signal block or synchronization signal block group (Per SSB or SSB group);

[0241] one radio access network notification area (RNA) or RNA group (Per RNA or its group);

[0242] The effective granularity refers to the range in which the network type or related parameters are applied or associated.

[0243] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal determines the compensation type of TA and / or FO according to the first capability information and the network type related information of the first network, and further determines the first compensation value according to the compensation type of TA and / or FO, so that the terminal determines the first compensation value in the case of determining its own compensation type or capability and the network compensation type, and performs TA and / or FO compensation according to the first compensation value, which reduces the TA and / or FO in the communication process and improves the communication quality.

[0244] In some other embodiments, the determination of the first compensation value comprises:

[0245] determining the compensation type of TA and / or FO;

[0255] 4) the compensation granularity corresponding to the compensation type or capability of the terminal;

[0304] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal can determine the compensation type of the TA and / or FO according to the third information or the first mapping relationship and the first preset value for determining the compensation type of the TA and / or FO, and then determine the first compensation value, and perform TA and / or FO compensation according to the first compensation value, thereby reducing the TA and / or FO in the communication process and improving the communication quality.

[0355] a mapping or association relationship of a region or a set of beams corresponding to a preset inner-outer diameter range to different TA compensation values and / or FO compensation values;

[0356] The third mapping relationship is the first network configuration or predefined.

[0357] It can be understood that the terminal only compensates for the determined TA and / or FO, in which case the network side can associate different pre-compensation values with SSB / RO / RTT ranges / GNSS coordinate ranges / some inner-outer diameter range corresponding regions / a set of beams, and when the UE meets the above conditions or uses the related resources to access, the corresponding values are applied.

[0358] The communication method provided by the embodiments of the present application can compensate for TA and / or FO in the case where the terminal only supports compensating for TA and / or FO according to a fixed value, thereby reducing TA and / or FO in the communication process and improving communication quality.

[0444] The communication method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to a unified air interface design by receiving the first configuration information and determining the first compensation value according to the first configuration information, so as to improve the communication efficiency.

[0445] In some embodiments, the terminal determines to access a first network, including one of the following:

[0446] The terminal determines to access the first network according to the first capability information.

[0447] The terminal determines a first network matching the first capability information of the terminal according to the first capability information and the network type related information of the plurality of networks, and accesses the first network.

[0448] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0449] In the case that the terminal occurs cell switching, the terminal accesses a target cell when a first condition is met.

[0450] The first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0451] The network type related information of the target cell matches the first capability information of the terminal;

[0452] The terminal can acquire the geographic location information related to the target cell and / or the parameter information and calculation method required for determining the TA and / or FO compensation value;

[0453] In the case where the network type related information of the target cell does not match the first capability information of the terminal, an alternative cell assists the terminal in TA and / or FO compensation.

[0454] It can be understood that when the UE performs cell switching, it is necessary to consider whether the target cell can meet the requirement of the UE on pre-compensation capability, such as Type A UE requiring access to Type 1 network, otherwise normal communication cannot be performed.

[0455] In some embodiments, the UE considers at least one of the following rules when performing cell selection / reselection:

[0456] 1) whether the post-compensation capability of the target cell matches the pre-compensation capability of the UE;

[0457] The matching means that the TA and / or FO that cannot be completely pre-compensated by the UE under the current pre-compensation capability of the UE can be covered by the post-compensation capability of the target cell;

[0458] 2) whether the UE has geographic location information related to the target cell and / or parameters / formulas required for determining the pre-compensation value, so as to calculate the pre-compensation value;

[0459] 3) whether there is an alternative cell assisting the UE in pre-compensation, so that the UE matches the post-compensation capability of the target cell after pre-compensation;

[0460] In some embodiments, if the UE detects or selects a cell but finds a mismatch, the terminal considers that there is no suitable cell, or the terminal considers that it is barred by the cell, or the terminal performs cell reselection.

[0461] The mismatch means that the post-compensation capability of the target cell cannot cover the TA and / or FO that cannot be completely pre-compensated by the UE under the current pre-compensation capability of the UE;

[0462] For example, the UE needs to be compensated by the base station, but the SIB indicates an offset, which implies that the base station expects the UE to compensate, at this time, the network type related information of the target cell does not match the first capability information of the terminal.

[0463] In the embodiments of the present application, the cell reselection rule based on whether the UE compensation capability and the network side compensation capability match is defined, the communication failure problem caused by the UE accessing the unmatched network is avoided, and the communication efficiency can be improved.

[0464] The communication method provided by the above embodiments of the present application defines a plurality of UE types and network types supporting TA and / or FO pre-compensation or post-compensation, and proposes a related UE compensation capability reporting and network compensation capability indication method, an indication or determination method of the compensation type and compensation value of TA and / or FO, and a cell reselection rule based on whether the UE compensation capability and the network side compensation capability match, so as to realize the unified air interface design of the ground and non-ground networks.
