The NTN system currently includes an NR-NTN and an IoT-NTN system, and may further include other NTN systems in the future.

[0047] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the communication system 100 can include a terminal device 110 and a network device 120. The network device 120 can communicate with the terminal device 110 through an air interface. The terminal device 110 and the network device 120 support multi-service transmission.

[0048] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are only exemplarily described with respect to the communication system 100, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0049] In the communication system 100 shown in FIG. 1, the network device 120 can be an access network device that communicates with the terminal device 110.

[0059] In order to facilitate the understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the related technologies of the embodiments of the present application are described as follows. The following related technologies can be combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application in any way, and all of them belong to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0060] Synchronization signal (SS) / physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block in NR

[0061] The common channels and signals in the NR system, such as synchronization signals and broadcast channels, need to be covered throughout the cell by means of multi-beam scanning to facilitate the reception of the UE in the cell. The multi-beam transmission of the SS is achieved by defining the SS / PBCH burst set. One SS burst set contains one or more SS / PBCH blocks, i.e., Synchronization Signal Blocks (SSBs). One SS / PBCH block is used to carry the synchronization signals and broadcast channels of one beam. Therefore, one SS burst set can contain the synchronization signals of the synchronization signal block number (SS block number) of beams in the cell. The maximum number of SS block number is related to the frequency band of the system:

[0062] For the frequency range less than 3 GHz, the maximum number of SS block number is 4;

[0063] For the frequency range of 3 GHz to 6 GHz, the maximum number of SS block number is 8;

[0064] For the frequency range of 6 GHz to 52.6 GHz, the maximum number of SS block number is 64.

[0065] One SSB contains one symbol of PSS, one symbol of SSS, and two symbols of NR-PBCH (New Radio Access Technology-Physical Broadcast Channel), as shown in FIG. 2. Among them, the time-frequency resources occupied by the PBCH contain the demodulation reference signal (DMRS) used for the demodulation of the PBCH.

[0066] All SS / PBCH blocks in the SS / PBCH burst set are transmitted within a 5 millisecond (ms) time window and are repeatedly transmitted at a certain period, which is configured by the high-level parameter SSB-timing, including 5 ms, 10 ms, 20 ms, 40 ms, 80 ms, 160 ms, etc. For the UE, the index of the SSB is obtained through the received SS / PBCH block, and the SSB index corresponds to the relative position of the SSB in the 5 ms time window. The UE realizes frame synchronization according to the index or the half-frame indication carried in the PBCH. Among them, the index of the SS / PBCH block is indicated by the DMRS of the PBCH or the information carried by the PBCH.

[0067] Synchronization raster

[0068] For wireless spectrum in NR, the frequency domain location of synchronization signal block is defined by synchronization raster, as shown in Table 1 below, the possible frequency domain location of synchronization signal block is determined by the formula in Table 1 in different frequency range, and is numbered by synchronization reference frequency (SSREF).

[0069] Table 1, SS raster in different frequency range

[0070] After the synchronization raster is determined, the resource mapping of synchronization signal block is determined according to Table 2 below, that is, the synchronization raster is located in the RE numbered 0 in the PRB numbered 10 in the 20 physical resource blocks (PRB) of the synchronization signal block.

[0071] Table 2, synchronization raster to SS block resource particle mapping

[0072] For synchronization raster, in different bands, the distribution of synchronization raster in the band is different. For example, for band n77, the number range of synchronization raster is 7711-8329, a total of 619 synchronization rasters. This number is called global synchronization channel number (GSCN).

[0073] Terminal energy saving based on wake-up receiver

[0074] For further power saving of UEs, 3GPP standards consider introducing a wake-up receiver (WUR) to receive a low power-Wake up signal (LP-WUS). The wake-up receiver has the characteristics of extremely low cost, extremely low complexity and extremely low power consumption, and it receives the wake-up signal through an envelope detection-based method. Therefore, the LP-WUS received by the wake-up receiver is different from the modulation method, waveform, etc. of the defined signal carried by the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The wake-up signal is an envelope signal modulated by the carrier signal (ASK). The demodulation of the envelope signal is based on the energy provided by the wireless radio frequency signal to drive the low-power circuit, so it can be passive. The wake-up receiver can also be powered by the terminal, regardless of the power supply method, the receiver greatly reduces the power consumption compared to the traditional receiver of the UE. The wake-up receiver can be combined with the UE as an additional module of the UE receiver, or it can be a separate UE wake-up function module.

[0075] The system block diagram of the zero-power wake-up-based receiver is shown in FIG. 3, which includes a main receiver 301 and a wake-up receiver, i.e. a low-power receiver (LPR) 302 in the UE 30. The wake-up receiver 302 receives the wake-up signal, and if the UE 30 needs to turn on the main receiver 303, it sends the wake-up information to the main receiver 301, indicating the UE to turn on the main receiver 301. Otherwise, the main receiver 301 of the UE can be in an off state.

[0076] The wake-up signal generation method based on the wake-up receiver

[0077] In order to realize the power saving of the wake-up receiver, the wake-up receiver needs lower complexity, so the waveform of the wake-up signal adopts ASK, frequency shift keying (FSK) and other waveforms that only need a low-complexity receiver to detect. Among them, the ASK waveform usually uses on-off keying (OOK) signal. At the same time, in the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, in order to utilize the OFDM transmitter to generate the wake-up signal and reduce the additional hardware overhead, the generation of the OOK signal is through multi-carrier (MC), so it is called MC-OOK signal. The generation of the MC-OOK signal can adopt multi-carrier modulation such as OFDM modulation, can maintain good compatibility with the OFDM system, and reduce the complexity of the transmitter introduced by the implementation of the WUR signal.

[0078] The generation of the MC-OOK signal is based on the difference of the bits carried by the OFDM signal:

[0079] OOK-1: Each OFDM symbol carries 1 bit, wherein the LP-WUS generation process is as shown in FIG. 4, the subcarriers carrying the LP-WUS are modulated and then subjected to inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT), and the corresponding output signal after the IDFT transform is OOK=1, the subcarriers carrying the LP-WUS are zero power, and the corresponding output signal is OOK=0.

[0080] OOK-M: Each OFDM symbol carries M bits in the time domain, the N subcarriers carrying the LP-WUS are generated by DFT, S samples represent M bits, and the S samples are subjected to discrete Fourier transform (DFT) to form S subcarriers. The S subcarriers are subjected to truncation and other processing to form N subcarriers, and then subjected to IDFT transform to generate the OOK signal. Wherein, M is greater than 1.

[0081] Taking M=4 as an example, the LP-WUS generation process is as shown in FIG. 5, S samples are generated by signal generation 501, wherein the S samples represent 4 bits on one OFDM symbol, the S samples are subjected to DFT 502 to obtain S subcarriers, the S subcarriers are subjected to truncation 503 and other processing to form N subcarriers, and the N subcarriers are subjected to IDFT 504 to obtain an OOK signal carrying 4 bits in the time domain on one OFDM symbol.

[0082] In the wake-up receiver discussed in the 3GPP standard, in addition to the wake-up receiver type supporting OOK waveform WUS reception, there can also be a wake-up receiver type supporting OFDM waveform WUS reception, where this wake-up receiver supporting OFDM waveform WUS reception is more power saving than the main receiver in the terminal device, and the wake-up receiver obtains the WUS by detecting the OFDM sequence. Since the OOK waveform is a switch (On-Off) signal in the time domain generated by the OFDM transmitter through multiple carriers, the on signal in the time domain can be generated by the OFDM transmitter carrying the OFDM sequence on a group of subcarriers, and the Off signal in the time domain is generated by zeroing on the group of subcarriers. Therefore, the WUS signals of the two waveforms can be combined, and the OFDM sequence can be superimposed on the on signal, i.e., the signal with a value of on, to form the waveform of the LP-WUS. Different OFDM sequences superimposed on the on signal can be used to carry information, for example, a group of Ns known sequences can be configured, and one of the Ns sequences can be transmitted to carry log2(Ns) bits of information.

[0083] There is a trade-off between power saving gain and coverage / resource overhead for OOK-based LP-WUS and OFDM-based LP-WUS. Therefore, if the UE (user equipment) can obtain information by receiving a coordinated LP-WUS that can be detected by any type of low-power wake-up receiver (LP-WUR), the UE can implement the LP-WUR according to the performance of each LP-WUR type. For UEs that want to achieve better coverage at the cost of increased power consumption, information carried by superimposed OFDM sequences should be provided. For example, an LP-WUR with I / Q branches detects whether the on signal, i.e., the on symbol, is transmitted by correlating the received signal and the provided OFDM sequence. Otherwise, an LP-WUR with an envelope detector detects whether the on symbol is transmitted by the envelope of the received signal.

[0084] As shown in FIG. 6, the signal 601 transmitted by the network device carries information 1010, where the OOK waveform is ON-Off-On-Off, and the covering OFDM sequence is superimposed on the on signal corresponding to 1. The received signal at the receiving end is shown in 602, and at the receiving end, the LP-WUR with an envelope detector detects the result by the envelope of the received signal to obtain the information 1010, as shown in 604, the LP-WUR with an in-phase (I) / quadrature-phase (Q) branch, i.e., based on OFDM, obtains the information 1010 by the correlation monitoring result of the received signal and the candidate covering OFDM sequence.

[0085] The process of cell search of the UE is implemented by searching a synchronization signal in a frequency band. The process needs the UE to blindly search the synchronization signal in some frequency positions to determine whether a cell is deployed. In the related art, under the design of a synchronization signal block, the UE detects a PSS signal through an OFDM receiver, monitors an SSS signal according to the detection result of the PSS signal, and then demodulates a PBCH. The process causes power consumption of the UE.

[0086] To make the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application clear, the technical solutions of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments. The related art above can be combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, which all belong to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0093] S1001, the network device sends a synchronization signal to the terminal device; the synchronization signal is used for the terminal device to receive through the first receiver.

[0094] Next, the wireless communication method shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 9 or FIG. 10 is further described.

[0095] The network device generates a synchronization signal and sends the synchronization signal to the terminal device. The terminal device receives the synchronization signal through the first receiver. The synchronization signal can be used for one of the following processes: an initial access process, a radio resource management (RRM) measurement process, a radio link management (RLM) measurement process, a beam management process, etc.

[0096] In the embodiments of the present application, the first receiver is distinguished from the second receiver in at least one or more of the following aspects:

[0097] The complexity of the first receiver is lower than that of the second receiver.

[0098] The power consumption of the first receiver is lower than that of the second receiver.

[0099] The first receiver is suitable for simple / short signals, and the second receiver is suitable for more signals or more complex / long signals.

[0100] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device receives the synchronization signal through the first receiver, which can receive the synchronization signal of a simple signal based on low complexity and low power consumption, thereby reducing the power consumption required for the terminal device to receive the synchronization signal, realizing low-power-consumption detection of the synchronization signal, and improving the energy-saving effect of the terminal device.

[0101] In some embodiments, the first receiver is a low-power receiver (LPR).

[0102] In some embodiments, the first receiver supports one or more demodulation modes.

[0103] In the embodiments of the present application, the waveform of the synchronization signal received by the terminal device is suitable for the waveform that can be demodulated by the demodulation mode supported by the first receiver.

[0104] In some embodiments, the one or more demodulation modes include a first demodulation mode, and the first demodulation mode includes one or more of the following: on-off keying (OOK), FSK, phase shift keying (PSK), and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).

[0105] In some embodiments, the one or more demodulation modes further include a second demodulation mode, and the second demodulation mode includes:

[0106] Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM).

[0107] In the embodiments of the present application, the first demodulation mode is distinguished from the second demodulation mode in at least one or more of the following aspects:

[0116] The second demodulation mode has a lower power consumption than the third demodulation mode.

[0117] The second demodulation mode has a lower requirement on hardware than the third demodulation mode.

[0118] In the embodiments of the present application, when the second receiver demodulates signals by OFDM, FFT needs to be used. The OFDM supported by the first receiver does not need to use FFT relative to the OFDM supported by the second receiver, so that the first receiver needs a lower power for demodulation based on OFDM relative to the second receiver for demodulation based on OFDM.

[0119] In some embodiments, the synchronization signal includes a primary synchronization signal (PSS), and the terminal device receives the synchronization signal by the first receiver includes that the terminal device receives the PSS by the first receiver.

[0120] In some embodiments, the synchronization signal includes a primary synchronization signal (PSS), and the network device transmits the synchronization signal includes:

[0121] The network device transmits the PSS, and the PSS is used for the terminal device to receive by the first receiver.

[0122] Here, the synchronization signal includes the PSS, the network device transmits the PSS to the terminal device, and the terminal device receives the PSS based on the first receiver.

[0123] Next, the transmission of the PSS in the case that the synchronization signal includes the PSS is described.

[0124] In some embodiments, the terminal device receiving the PSS via the first receiver comprises: the terminal device receiving the PSS via the first receiver, and the terminal device demodulating the PSS via the first receiver.

[0125] In some embodiments, the network device transmitting the PSS comprises: the network device modulating the PSS, and transmitting the PSS.

[0126] It can be understood that the PSS transmitted by the network device to the terminal device is a modulated signal, and the terminal device demodulates the received PSS after receiving the PSS.

[0127] In some embodiments, the terminal device demodulating the PSS via the first receiver comprises:

[0128] The terminal device demodulates the PSS via the first receiver by using a first demodulation manner or a second demodulation manner.

[0129] In the embodiments of the present application, the modulation manner of the network device modulating the PSS comprises one of the following: OOK, FSK, PSK, QAM, and OFDM. The modulation manner of the network device modulating the PSS can correspond to or can not correspond to the demodulation manner used by the terminal device to demodulate the PSS.

[0130] In an example, the network device modulates the PSS based on FSK, and the terminal device demodulates the received PSS based on FSK after receiving the PSS.

[0131] In an example, the network device modulates the PSS based on OFDM, and the terminal device demodulates the received PSS based on OOK after receiving the PSS.

[0132] In some embodiments, the signal waveform of the PSS is an on-off signal, and the on-off signal has a value of on or off in each symbol.

[0133] In the embodiments of the present application, the on-off signal can be understood as a signal or sequence composed of symbols with a value of on and symbols with a value of off. One symbol can be understood as one bit corresponding to one sequence in the on-off signal.

[0134] In the case where the signal waveform of the PSS is an on-off signal, the PSS can be understood as a PSS sequence. Alternatively, the PSS can be a sequence of 127 bits.

[0135] In an example, the waveform of the switch signal is shown as 1201 in FIG. 12. In an embodiment of the present application, the waveform of the PSS signal can be shown as 1201 in FIG. 12. For one symbol, the value is on or off.

[0136] In an embodiment of the present application, when the waveform of the PSS signal is a switch signal, the waveform of the PSS signal is simple, which is suitable for the first receiver to receive, thereby reducing the complexity and power consumption required for PSS detection, and achieving the purpose of power saving.

[0137] In some embodiments, the PSS is a switch signal generated based on a target first sequence.

[0138] In some embodiments, the network device modulates based on the target first sequence to obtain the PSS.

[0139] It can be understood that the network device modulates based on the target first sequence to obtain the PSS, which is a switch signal generated based on the target first sequence.

[0140] Optionally, the target first sequence belongs to a binary sequence.

[0141] In an embodiment of the present application, the sequence type of the target first sequence can include one of the following: Maximum Length Sequence (M sequence) and Gold sequence.

[0142] The length of the PSS is determined based on the length of the target first sequence. If the length of the target first sequence is n bits, the length of the PSS is 2 n -1 bits, and at most 2 n -1 sequences can be generated.

[0143] In some embodiments, the target first sequence is a sequence specified by a setting or a protocol.

[0144] In some embodiments, the target first sequence is one of a first number of first sequences, and the first number is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0145] One first sequence can generate one candidate on-off signal. In the case that the target first sequence is one of a first number of first sequences, the on-off signal of the PSS includes a first number of possibilities, i.e., a first number of candidate on-off signals, and the received signal waveform of the PSS is one of the first number of candidate on-off signals.

[0146] In an example, the first number is 3, and the waveform of the PSS signal is one of three candidate on-off signals.

[0147] In the embodiments of the present application, there can be a basic first sequence, and a first number of first sequences (including the basic first sequence) can be generated by shifting the basic first sequence.

[0148] In an example, the first sequence is an M sequence, and for a basic M sequence, more M sequences can be generated by cyclic shift. The cyclic shift of an M sequence refers to moving each bit in the sequence to the left or right according to a certain rule, that is, moving the highest bit or the lowest bit to the other side. The cyclic left shift operation is to move the high bits of the sequence to the low bits in order. The cyclic right shift operation is to move the low bits of the sequence to the high bits in order. By cyclic shift of a basic M sequence, a plurality of different M sequences can be generated. The length of an n-stage M sequence is 2 n -1, and if one bit is cyclically shifted each time, a maximum of S = 2 n -1 cyclic shift sequences (including the basic M sequence) can be generated, that is, the third sequence; if k bits are cyclically shifted each time (the offset k of the cyclic shift), a maximum of ) cyclic shift sequences (including the basic M sequence) can be generated.

[0149] In an example, the first sequence is a Gold sequence, and the Gold sequence is constituted by the modulo 2 addition of an m sequence pair, and each change of the cyclic shift of an m sequence in the m sequence pair can obtain a new Gold sequence. If the cyclic shifts of two m sequences in the m sequence pair are changed at the same time, and then the modulo 2 addition is performed, a maximum of (2 n -1)*(2 n -1) Gold sequences can be formed. Taking an m sequence of order 4 as an example, the sequence length is 15. For an m sequence pair, 225 Gold sequences can be generated. The Gold sequences generated by an m sequence pair can be defined as a Gold sequence group. A plurality of m sequence pairs correspond to a plurality of Gold sequence groups.

[0150] In some embodiments, the modulation mode of the PSS includes OOK or OFDM.

[0151] In a PSS scenario one, the modulation mode of the PSS is OOK.

[0152] In some embodiments, the PSS is a switch signal obtained by OOK modulation of the target first sequence.

[0153] In some embodiments, the network device modulates the target first sequence to obtain the PSS, including:

[0154] The network device OOK modulates the target first sequence to obtain the PSS.

[0155] The network device performs OOK modulation on the target first sequence to obtain a PSS, which is an on-off signal of the target first sequence after OOK modulation.

[0156] Here, the modulation method used by the network device for PSS modulation is OOK, and the PSS generated based on OOK modulation can be referred to as an OOK sequence.

[0157] In the case where the target first sequence is one of the first quantity of first sequences, one first sequence after OOK modulation can generate a candidate OOK sequence, and the OOK sequence includes the first quantity of possibilities, i.e., the first quantity of candidate OOK sequences, and the PSS is one of the first quantity of candidate OOK sequences.

[0158] The network device can directly perform OOK modulation on the target first sequence to obtain the PSS, or can perform encoding on the target first sequence and then perform OOK modulation to obtain the PSS.

[0159] The encoding method used for encoding the target first sequence can include linear encoding such as Manchester encoding. In Manchester encoding, a bit is represented by a level change to indicate the value of the bit. This encoding method ensures that there is at least one level change in each signal unit, thereby providing an opportunity for clock synchronization. For example, the bit value is 0, and the signal changes from high level to low level. The bit value is 1, and the signal changes from low level to high level. Since each bit contains a level jump, the first receiver can use this feature to synchronize data, and the first receiver can recover the clock at the time of transmission from the received signal, so that a separate clock signal channel is not needed.

[0160] In an example, as shown in FIG. 13, the target first sequence is the M sequence 1101001 shown in 1301, and the signal waveform of the PSS obtained after OOK modulation on the target first sequence can be as shown in 1302.

[0161] In an example, as shown in FIG. 14, the target first sequence is the M sequence 1101001 shown in 1301, and the signal waveform of the PSS obtained after OOK modulation on the target first sequence after Manchester encoding can be as shown in 1303.

[0162] In some embodiments, the terminal device demodulates the PSS by the first receiver using the first demodulation or the second demodulation method, including: the terminal device demodulates the PSS by the first receiver using OOK to obtain the target first sequence.

[0163] It can be understood that the PSS is used for the terminal device to demodulate by the first receiver using OOK to obtain the target first sequence.

[0164] Here, the network device modulates the PSS in OOK, and the terminal device demodulates the PSS in OOK, that is, the modulation mode of the PSS corresponds to the demodulation mode of the PSS.

[0165] In the embodiments of the present application, the target first sequence can be used to determine the first information of the PSS.

[0166] In some embodiments, the first information is used to determine the cell identifier.

[0167] The first receiver can detect the received PSS through a time domain correlation operation, thereby reducing the complexity and power consumption of searching for the PSS.

[0168] PSS scenario two, the modulation mode of the PSS is OFDM

[0169] In some embodiments, the network device modulates based on the target first sequence to obtain the PSS, including:

[0170] The network device performs OFDM modulation on the target second sequence, and carries the signal after OFDM modulation of the target second sequence on the on symbol of the PSS.

[0171] It can be understood that the on symbol of the PSS is used to carry the signal after OFDM modulation of the target second sequence.

[0172] The network device performs OFDM modulation on the target second sequence to obtain the signal after OFDM modulation, that is, the overlaid OFDM sequence, and carries the overlaid OFDM sequence on the on symbol of the PSS.

[0173] Here, the on symbol of the PSS carries the overlaid OFDM sequence, that is, the on symbol of the PSS appears as the waveform of the OFDM sequence. It can be understood that in the case where the modulation mode of the PSS is OOK, the on symbol of the PSS does not carry the overlaid OFDM sequence.

[0174] In an example, the signal waveform of the PSS can be as shown in FIG. 15, the on symbol of the switching signal carries the overlaid OFDM sequence, and the overlaid OFDM sequence generated based on the target second sequence is shown as 1501.

[0175] In the embodiments of the present application, the type of the target second sequence can include one of the following: M sequence, Gold sequence, ZC sequence (ZC sequence), Chirp sequence, Fourier transform or fast Fourier transform sequence (FT / FFT sequence), Golay sequence, Kasami sequence, low density sequence (Low density sequence), etc.

[0176] The length of the OFDM sequence covered on the on symbol of the PSS is determined based on the length of the target second sequence. Wherein, the length of the target second sequence is m bits, and the length of the covered OFDM is 2 m -1 bit, and at most 2 m -1 sequences can be generated.

[0177] In some embodiments, the target second sequence is a set sequence or a sequence specified by a protocol, i.e., a fixed sequence.

[0178] In some embodiments, the target second sequence is one of a second number of second sequences, and the second number is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0179] It can be understood that one second sequence can generate a candidate covered OFDM sequence, and in the case that the target second sequence is one of a second number of second sequences, the covered OFDM sequence includes a second number of possibilities, i.e., a second number of candidate covered OFDM sequences, and the covered OFDM sequence on the on symbol of the PSS is one of the second number of candidate covered OFDM sequences, then the signal waveform of the received on symbol of the PSS is one of the second number of candidate covered OFDM sequences.

[0180] In the embodiments of the present application, the target second sequence can be used to determine the first information of the PSS.

[0181] In some embodiments, the on symbol and the off symbol of the PSS are associated with the target first sequence.

[0182] The on symbol and the off symbol of the PSS can be associated with the target first sequence, or can be associated with the sequence after encoding of the target first sequence.

[0183] In an example, the target first sequence is a binary sequence, the on symbol of the PSS corresponds to 1 in the target first sequence, and the off symbol of the PSS corresponds to 0 in the target first sequence.

[0184] In an example, the target first sequence is a binary sequence, and the on symbol of the PSS corresponds to 1 in the sequence after encoding of the target first sequence, and the off symbol of the PSS corresponds to 0 in the sequence after encoding of the target first sequence.

[0185] In an example, the signal waveform of the PSS can be as shown in FIG. 15, and the on symbol of the switching signal carries the cover OFDM sequence, wherein the on symbol corresponds to 1 in the sequence after Manchester encoding of the M sequence 1101001, and the off symbol corresponds to 0 in the sequence after Manchester encoding of the M sequence 1101001.

[0186] In the embodiments of the present application, in the case that the on symbol of the PSS carries the cover OFDM sequence, the target first sequence can be used to control the network device to generate the cover OFDM sequence in the part corresponding to the on symbol of the PSS.

[0187] In the PSS scenario two, for the PSS whose on symbol carries the cover OFDM sequence, the demodulation mode adopted by the first receiver includes OOK or OFDM.

[0188] Taking the case that the demodulation mode adopted by the first receiver for the PSS whose on symbol carries the OFDM sequence is OOK as an example, the terminal device demodulates the PSS by the first receiver in the first demodulation or second demodulation mode, including:

[0189] The terminal device demodulates the PSS by the first receiver in the OOK mode to obtain the target first sequence.

[0190] It can be understood that the PSS is used for the terminal device to obtain the target first sequence by demodulating the PSS in the OOK mode by the first receiver.

[0191] Here, the terminal device detects the PSS by the first receiver based on the OOK mode to obtain the target first sequence.

[0192] The first receiver can detect the PSS to obtain the target first sequence by time domain detection such as envelope detection or autocorrelation detection.

[0193] In the embodiments of the present application, the first receiver demodulates the PSS in the OOK mode to obtain the target first sequence, and the target first sequence is used to carry the first information of the PSS.

[0194] Taking the case that the demodulation mode adopted by the first receiver for the PSS whose on symbol carries the OFDM sequence is OFDM as an example, the terminal device demodulates the PSS by the first receiver in the first demodulation or second demodulation mode, including:

[0195] The terminal device demodulates the PSS by the first receiver to obtain the target second sequence and / or the target first sequence.

[0196] It can be understood that the PSS is used for the terminal device to demodulate the PSS by the first receiver to obtain the target second sequence and / or the target first sequence.

[0197] Here, the terminal device detects the PSS by the first receiver based on OFDM to obtain the target first sequence and / or the target second sequence.

[0198] In the embodiment of the application, the first receiver based on OFDM detects the PSS by the covering OFDM sequence, and determines the position of the on symbol according to the detection result, thereby obtaining the target first sequence.

[0199] In the embodiment of the application, the first receiver based on OFDM detects the PSS by correlation detection to obtain the target second sequence. In the case that the first receiver detects the PSS by correlation detection to obtain the target second sequence, the first receiver can only detect the on symbol in the PSS by correlation detection, and does not detect the off symbol in the PSS.

[0200] In the embodiment of the application, the first receiver demodulates the PSS by OFDM to obtain the target second sequence and / or the target first sequence, and the target second sequence and / or the target first sequence is used to carry the first information of the PSS.

[0201] In some embodiments, the target second sequences corresponding to at least two on symbols in the PSS are the same; or, the target second sequences corresponding to at least two on symbols in the PSS are different.

[0202] The target second sequence corresponding to the on symbol of the PSS can be understood as that the on symbol of the PSS carries the signal after OFDM modulation of the target second sequence, that is, the covering OFDM sequence generated by the on symbol of the PSS carrying the target second sequence.

[0203] The target second sequences corresponding to at least two on symbols of the PSS are the same, which can be understood as that the target second sequences corresponding to different on symbols in the at least two on symbols of the PSS are the same, or the target second sequence corresponding to each on symbol of the PSS is the same. The target second sequence corresponding to the on symbol is a set sequence or one of the second sequences of the second quantity.

[0204] In the case that the target second sequences corresponding to different on symbols of the PSS are the same, the covering OFDM sequences carried on the different on symbols of the PSS are the same.

[0205] In the case that the target second sequences corresponding to each on symbol of the PSS are the same, the cover OFDM sequences carried on each on symbol of the PSS are the same, and at this time, the first receiver can demodulate the PSS by OOK or OFDM to obtain the target first sequence.

[0206] In the embodiments of the present application, if the target second sequences corresponding to each on symbol of the PSS are the same, the terminal device detects the cover OFDM sequences on different on symbols of the PSS, and can obtain the gain of time diversity and improve the detection performance.

[0207] The target second sequences corresponding to at least two on symbols of the PSS are different, which can be understood as that the target second sequences corresponding to different on symbols among the at least two on symbols are different. At this time, the cover OFDM sequences carried on different on symbols of the PSS are different. The combination of the target second sequences corresponding to the at least two on symbols included in the PSS is the target second sequence obtained by demodulating the PSS.

[0208] In some embodiments, the target second sequences corresponding to at least two on symbols of the PSS are different, including:

[0209] The at least two on symbols correspond to different parts of one target second sequence; or

[0210] The at least two on symbols correspond to different target second sequences respectively.

[0211] The target second sequence corresponding to one on symbol of the PSS can be a complete target second sequence or a part of a complete target second sequence, i.e., a partial target second sequence. The time unit of a single target second sequence is different, and a longer cover OFDM sequence can be transmitted through on symbols by corresponding a part of a complete target second sequence to one on symbol.

[0212] It can be understood that one target second sequence corresponds to L1 on symbols, where L1 is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0213] In the case that L1 is greater than 1, a plurality of on symbols of the PSS correspond to a complete target second sequence, and different on symbols among the plurality of on symbols correspond to different parts of one target second sequence.

[0214] In an example, as shown in FIG. 16, 1601, 1602, 1603 are PSSs in the case of L1 being 4, 2, 1 respectively, in 1601, one on symbol corresponds to one fourth of the target second sequence 1610, that is, one on symbol carries one fourth of the cover OFDM sequence; in 1602, one on symbol corresponds to one half of the target second sequence 1620, that is, one on symbol carries one half of the cover OFDM sequence; in 1603, one on symbol corresponds to the target second sequence 1630, that is, one on symbol carries a complete cover OFDM sequence.

[0215] In the case of L1 being equal to 1, each on symbol in the PSS corresponds to a complete target second sequence. Among them, different on symbols can correspond to different target second sequences.

[0216] In the case of different on symbols corresponding to different target second sequences, the combination of the target second sequences covered on the multiple on symbols is used to determine the first information of the PSS.

[0217] In an example, there are M candidate combinations of the target second sequences on the on symbols on the PSS, where M is determined based on the number of possible second sequences of the target second sequences on each on symbol in the PSS, there are m on signals on the PSS signal, and the target second sequence corresponding to the i th on symbol is one of M second sequences, then M is i

[0218] In an example, there are 2 on signals in the PSS, the OFDM sequence covered by the first on signal includes M1 candidate sequences, and the OFDM sequence covered by the second on signal includes M2 candidate sequences, then there can be M1*M2 possible combination sequences of the OFDM sequences covered on the 2 on signals.

[0219] In some embodiments, the target first sequence and / or the target second sequence is used to carry the first information of the PSS.

[0220] In the case of the target first sequence being used to carry the first information of the PSS, the terminal device can demodulate the PSS to obtain the target first sequence.

[0221] In the embodiments of the present application, the target first sequence of the PSS can be obtained in the following cases:

[0222] The PSS is an on-off signal after the target first sequence is modulated by OOK, and the first receiver demodulates the PSS by OOK;

[0223] ​The on symbol of the PSS is used to carry the OFDM modulated signal of the target second sequence, and the first receiver demodulates the PSS using OFDM.

[0224] The on symbol of the PSS is used to carry the OFDM modulated signal of the target second sequence, and the first receiver demodulates the PSS using OFDM.

[0225] In a case where the target second sequence is used to carry the first information of the PSS, the terminal device can demodulate the PSS to obtain the target second sequence.

[0226] In the embodiments of the present application, the target second sequence of the PSS can be obtained in the following cases:

[0227] The on symbol of the PSS is used to carry the OFDM modulated signal of the target second sequence, and the first receiver demodulates the PSS using OFDM.

[0228] In a case where the target first sequence and the target second sequence are used to carry the first information of the PSS together, the terminal device can demodulate the PSS to obtain the target second sequence and the target first sequence.

[0229] In the embodiments of the present application, the target second sequence and the target first sequence of the PSS can be obtained in the following cases:

[0230] The on symbol of the PSS is used to carry the OFDM modulated signal of the target second sequence, and the first receiver demodulates the PSS using OFDM.

[0231] In the embodiments of the present application, in a case where the target first sequence is one of the first quantity of first sequences, and the target second sequence is one of the second quantity of second sequences, the combined sequence of the target second sequence and the target first sequence includes a first quantity multiplied by a second quantity, that is, the combined sequence of the target second sequence and the target first sequence includes a second quantity multiplied by a first quantity of candidate combined sequences.

[0232] In an example, the OOK sequence can include N candidate OOK sequences, and the OOK-based LPR of the terminal device detects the OOK sequence through a correlation operation. The cover OFDM sequence can include M candidate sequences, and the OFDM-based LPR of the terminal device detects the cover OFDM sequence through a correlation operation. The terminal device can also use the OFDM-based LPR to determine the position of the on symbol in the process of correlating the cover OFDM sequence, so as to obtain the demodulation result of the OOK signal and determine the OOK sequence through a correlation operation. The cover OFDM sequence and the OOK sequence jointly can exist N*M possible combined sequences, which are used to determine the first information.

[0233] In some embodiments, in a case where the synchronization signal comprises the PSS, the synchronization signal can further comprise a SSS, wherein the terminal device can receive the SSS through the first receiver, and can also receive the SSS through the second receiver.

[0234] In a case where the terminal device receives the SSS through the first receiver

[0235] In some embodiments, the synchronization signal comprises a SSS, and the terminal device receiving the synchronization signal through the first receiver comprises: the terminal device receiving the SSS through the first receiver.

[0236] In some embodiments, the synchronization signal comprises a SSS, and the network device transmitting the synchronization signal comprises:

[0237] The network device transmits the SSS, and the SSS is used for the terminal device to receive through the first receiver.

[0238] Here, the synchronization signal comprises a SSS, the network device transmits the SSS to the terminal device, and the terminal device receives the SSS based on the first receiver.

[0239] In some embodiments, the terminal device receiving the SSS through the first receiver comprises:

[0240] The terminal device receives the SSS through the first receiver, and the terminal device demodulates the SSS through the first receiver.

[0241] In some embodiments, the network device transmitting the SSS comprises: the network device modulating the SSS, and transmitting the SSS.

[0242] It can be understood that the SSS transmitted by the network device to the terminal device is a modulated signal, and the terminal device demodulates the received SSS after receiving the SSS.

[0243] In some embodiments, the terminal device demodulating the SSS through the first receiver comprises:

[0244] The terminal device demodulates the SSS through the first receiver by using a first demodulation manner or a second demodulation manner.

[0245] In the embodiments of the present application, the modulation manner of the network device modulating the SSS comprises one of the following: OOK, FSK, PSK, QAM, OFDM. Among them, the modulation manner used by the network device for SSS modulation can correspond to or not correspond to the demodulation manner used by the terminal device for SSS demodulation.

[0246] In an example, the network device modulates the SSS based on FSK, and the terminal device demodulates the received SSS based on FSK after receiving the SSS.

[0247] In an example, the network device modulates the SSS based on OFDM, and the terminal device demodulates the received SSS based on OOK after receiving the SSS.

[0248] In some embodiments, the signal waveform of the SSS is an On-Off signal, and the value of the On-Off signal in each symbol is on or off.

[0249] In the embodiments of the present application, the On-Off signal can be understood as a signal or sequence composed of symbols with a value of on and symbols with a value of off. One symbol can be understood as one bit corresponding to one sequence in the On-Off signal.

[0250] In the case where the signal waveform of the SSS is an On-Off signal, the SSS can be understood as an SSS sequence. Alternatively, the SSS can be a sequence of 127 bits.

[0251] Here, the signal waveform of the SSS can refer to the signal waveform of the PSS in the case where the PSS is an On-Off signal as shown in FIG. 12, which will not be described here again.

[0252] In the embodiments of the present application, in the case where the signal waveform of the SSS is an On-Off signal, the signal waveform of the SSS is simple, suitable for reception by the first receiver, and the terminal device receives the PSS based on the first receiver, thereby reducing the complexity and power consumption required for PSS and SSS detection, achieving the purpose of power saving.

[0253] In some embodiments, the SSS is an On-Off signal generated based on a target third sequence.

[0254] In some embodiments, the network device modulates based on the target third sequence to obtain the SSS.

[0255] It can be understood that the SSS obtained by the network device modulating based on the target third sequence is an On-Off signal generated based on the target third sequence.

[0256] Alternatively, the target third sequence belongs to a binary sequence.

[0257] In the embodiments of the present application, the sequence type of the target third sequence can include one of the following: M sequence, Gold sequence.

[0258] The length of the SSS is determined based on the length of the target third sequence. If the length of the target third sequence is n bits, the length of the SSS is 2 n -1 bits, and at most 2n -1 sequence.

[0259] In some embodiments, the SSS is a plurality of On-Off signals, each of the On-Off signals is generated based on a target third sequence, the target third sequence corresponding to each of the On-Off signals is the same, or the target third sequence corresponding to at least two of the On-Off signals is different.

[0260] It can be understood that the SSS can be composed of a plurality of SSS short sequences, and each SSS short sequence is generated based on a target third sequence.

[0261] The target third sequence corresponding to each of the On-Off signals of the SSS can be understood as the target third sequence corresponding to each of the SSS short sequences.

[0262] The target third sequence corresponding to at least two of the On-Off signals of the SSS is different, which can be understood as the target third sequence corresponding to different SSS short sequences in the SSS is the same, that is, different SSS short sequences are generated based on different target third short sequences.

[0263] In the case that the target third sequence corresponding to at least two of the On-Off signals of the SSS is different, the target third sequence corresponding to the SSS is a combined sequence of the target third sequence corresponding to each of the On-Off signals.

[0264] In some embodiments, the target third sequence is a sequence set or specified by a protocol.

[0265] In some embodiments, the target third sequence is one of a third number of third sequences, and the third number is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0266] One third sequence can generate a candidate on-off signal, in the case that the target third sequence is one of a third number of third sequences, the on-off signal of the SSS includes a third number of possibilities, that is, a third number of candidate on-off signals, and the signal waveform of the received SSS is one of the third number of candidate on-off signals.

[0267] In an example, the third number is 336, and the signal waveform of the SSS is one of 336 candidate on-off signals.

[0268] In the embodiments of the present application, there can be a basic third sequence, and different third sequences can be generated by shifting the basic third sequence, wherein different shifts of the basic third sequence can generate different third sequences.

[0269] In one example, the third sequence is an M-sequence. For a basic M-sequence, more M-sequences can be generated through cyclic shifting. Cyclic shifting of an M-sequence refers to moving each bit in the sequence to the left or right according to a certain pattern, that is, shifting the most significant bit or the least significant bit to the other side. A cyclic left shift moves the most significant bit to the least significant bit in sequence. A cyclic right shift moves the least significant bit to the most significant bit in sequence. By cyclically shifting a basic M-sequence, multiple different M-sequences can be generated. An n-level M-sequence has a length of 2^n. n -1, if each cyclic shift is one bit, then a maximum of S=2 can be generated. n -1 cyclic shift sequence (containing the basic m-sequence), i.e., the third sequence; if each cyclic shift is k bits (the cyclic shift offset k), then at most... ) cyclic shift sequences (including the basic m-sequence).

[0270] In one example, the third sequence is the Gold sequence, which is formed by adding the preferred m-sequences modulo 2. Each change in the cyclic shift of one m-sequence yields a new Gold sequence. If the cyclic shifts of two m-sequences in the preferred m-sequence pair are changed simultaneously, and then added modulo 2, a maximum of (2^3)Gold sequences can be formed. n -1)*(2 n -1) Gold sequences. Taking an m-sequence of level 4 as an example, the sequence length is 15. For a preferred pair of m-sequences, 225 Gold sequences can be generated. The Gold sequences generated by a preferred pair of m-sequences can be defined as a Gold sequence group. Multiple preferred pairs of m-sequences correspond to multiple Gold sequence groups.

[0271] When the SSS consists of multiple on-off signals and the target third sequence corresponding to different on-off signals is different, the target third sequence corresponding to the multiple short SSS sequences that make up the SSS can be generated based on different characteristic polynomials.

[0272] In one example, the third sequence is an m-sequence of level 4 with a sequence length of 15. The SSS includes two short SSS sequences. Each short SSS corresponds to 15 m-sequences. Therefore, the SSS sequence includes 15*15=225 candidate sequences.

[0273] In some embodiments, the modulation scheme of SSS includes OOK or OFDM.

[0274] SSS Scenario 1: The modulation mode of SSS is OOK.

[0275] In some embodiments, the SSS is the switching signal of the target third sequence modulated by OOK.

[0276] In some embodiments, the network device modulates the target third sequence to obtain the SSS, including:

[0277] The network device OOK modulates the target third sequence to obtain the SSS.

[0278] The network device OOK modulates the target third sequence to obtain the SSS as a switch signal after OOK modulation of the target third sequence.

[0279] Here, the modulation mode used by the network device for SSS modulation is OOK, and the SSS generated based on OOK modulation can be referred to as an OOK sequence.

[0280] In the case of the target third sequence being one of a third number of third sequences, one third sequence can generate a candidate OOK sequence after OOK modulation, and the OOK sequence includes a third number of possibilities, i.e., a third number of candidate OOK sequences, and the SSS is one of the third number of candidate OOK sequences.

[0281] The network device can directly OOK modulate the target third sequence to obtain the SSS, or can encode the target third sequence and then OOK modulate to obtain the SSS.

[0282] In some embodiments, the terminal device uses a first demodulation or a second demodulation to demodulate the SSS through the first receiver, including:

[0283] The terminal device uses OOK to demodulate the SSS through the first receiver to obtain the target third sequence.

[0284] It can be understood that the SSS is used for the terminal device to demodulate through the first receiver using OOK to obtain the target third sequence.

[0285] Here, the modulation mode of the network device for modulating the SSS is OOK, and the demodulation mode of the terminal device for demodulating the SSS is OOK, i.e., the modulation mode of the SSS corresponds to the demodulation mode of the SSS.

[0286] In the embodiments of the present application, the target third sequence can be used to determine the second information of the SSS.

[0287] In some embodiments, the second information is used to determine the cell identifier.

[0288] The first receiver can detect the received PSS and SSS through time domain correlation operation, thereby reducing the complexity and power consumption of searching for the PSS and SSS.

[0289] SSS scenario two, the modulation mode of the SSS is OFDM

[0290] In some embodiments, the network device modulates the target third sequence to obtain the SSS, including:

[0291] The network device performs OFDM modulation on a target fourth sequence, and carries the signal after OFDM modulation of the target fourth sequence on the on symbol of the SSS.

[0292] It can be understood that the on symbol of the SSS is used to carry the signal after OFDM modulation of the target fourth sequence.

[0293] The network device performs OFDM modulation on a target fourth sequence to obtain a signal after OFDM modulation, i.e., an overlaid OFDM sequence, and carries the overlaid OFDM sequence on the on symbol of the SSS.

[0294] Here, the on symbol of the SSS carries the overlaid OFDM sequence, i.e., the on symbol of the SSS appears as the waveform of the OFDM sequence. It can be understood that in the case of OOK modulation mode of the SSS, the on symbol of the SSS does not carry the overlaid OFDM sequence.

[0295] The signal waveform of the SSS carrying the overlaid OFDM sequence on the on symbol can refer to the signal waveform of the PSS carrying the overlaid OFDM sequence on the on symbol, which will not be repeated here.

[0296] In the embodiments of the present application, the type of the target fourth sequence can include one of the following: M sequence, Gold sequence, ZC sequence (ZC sequence), Chirp sequence, Fourier transform or fast Fourier transform sequence (FT / FFT sequence), Golay sequence, Kasami sequence, low density sequence (Low density sequence), etc.

[0297] The length of the overlaid OFDM sequence on the on symbol of the SSS is determined based on the length of the target fourth sequence. Wherein, the length of the target fourth sequence is m bits, and the length of the overlaid OFDM is 2 m -1 bit, which can generate at most 2 m -1 sequences.

[0298] In some embodiments, the target fourth sequence is a set sequence or a sequence specified by a protocol, i.e., a fixed sequence.

[0299] In some embodiments, the target fourth sequence is one of a fourth number of fourth sequences, and the fourth number is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0300] It can be understood that one fourth sequence can generate a candidate cover OFDM sequence, in the case that the target fourth sequence is one of a fourth number of fourth sequences, the cover OFDM sequence includes a fourth number of possibilities, i.e., a fourth number of candidate cover OFDM sequences, and the cover OFDM sequence on the on symbol of the SSS is one of the fourth number of candidate cover OFDM sequences, then the signal waveform of the on symbol of the received SSS is one of the fourth number of candidate cover OFDM sequences.

[0301] In the embodiments of the present application, the target fourth sequence can be used to determine the second information of the SSS.

[0302] In some embodiments, the on symbol and the off symbol of the SSS are associated with the target third sequence.

[0303] The on symbol and the off symbol of the SSS can be associated with the target third sequence, or can be associated with the sequence after the target third sequence is encoded.

[0304] In an example, the target third sequence is a binary sequence, the on symbol of the SSS corresponds to 1 in the target third sequence, and the off symbol of the SSS corresponds to 0 in the target third sequence.

[0305] In an example, the target third sequence is a binary sequence, the on symbol of the SSS corresponds to 1 in the sequence after the target third sequence is encoded, and the off symbol of the SSS corresponds to 0 in the sequence after the target third sequence is encoded.

[0306] In the embodiments of the present application, in the case that the on symbol of the SSS carries the cover OFDM sequence, the target third sequence can be used to control the network device to generate the cover OFDM sequence in the part corresponding to the on symbol of the SSS.

[0307] In the second SSS scenario, for the SSS whose on symbol carries the cover OFDM sequence, the demodulation mode adopted by the first receiver includes OOK or OFDM.

[0308] Taking the case that, for the SSS whose on symbol carries the OFDM sequence, the demodulation mode adopted by the first receiver is OOK, the terminal device demodulates the SSS by the first receiver using the first demodulation or the second demodulation mode, including:

[0309] The terminal device demodulates the SSS by the first receiver using OOK to obtain the target third sequence.

[0310] It can be understood that the SSS is used for the terminal device to obtain the target third sequence by OOK demodulation of the first receiver.

[0311] Here, the terminal device detects the SSS by the first receiver based on OOK to obtain the target third sequence.

[0312] The first receiver can detect the SSS to obtain the target third sequence by envelope detection, autocorrelation detection, and other time domain detection.

[0313] In the embodiment of the application, the first receiver performs OOK demodulation on the SSS to obtain the target third sequence, and the target third sequence is used to carry the second information of the SSS.

[0314] Taking the SSS carrying an OFDM sequence of an on symbol as an example, the demodulation mode adopted by the first receiver is OFDM, the terminal device demodulates the SSS by the first receiver in a first demodulation mode or a second demodulation mode, and the demodulation includes:

[0315] The terminal device demodulates the SSS by the first receiver in an OFDM demodulation mode to obtain the target fourth sequence and / or the target third sequence.

[0316] It can be understood that the SSS is used for the terminal device to obtain the target fourth sequence and / or the target third sequence by OFDM demodulation of the first receiver.

[0317] Here, the terminal device detects the SSS by the first receiver based on OFDM to obtain the target third sequence and / or the target fourth sequence.

[0318] In the embodiment of the application, the first receiver based on OFDM performs detection on the SSS covering an OFDM sequence, and determines the position of the on symbol according to the detection result, thereby obtaining the target third sequence.

[0319] In the embodiment of the application, the first receiver based on OFDM performs correlation detection on the SSS to obtain the target fourth sequence. In the case where the first receiver performs correlation detection on the SSS to obtain the target fourth sequence, the first receiver can only perform correlation detection on the on symbol in the SSS, and does not perform detection on the off symbol in the SSS.

[0320] In the embodiment of the application, the first receiver performs OFDM demodulation on the SSS to obtain the target fourth sequence and / or the target third sequence, and the target fourth sequence and / or the target third sequence is used to carry the second information of the SSS.

[0321] In some embodiments, the target fourth sequences corresponding to at least two on symbols in the SSS are the same; or, the target fourth sequences corresponding to at least two on symbols in the SSS are different.

[0322] The target fourth sequence corresponding to the on symbol of the SSS can be understood as that the on symbol of the SSS carries a signal after OFDM modulation of the target fourth sequence, that is, the on symbol of the SSS carries a cover OFDM sequence generated by the target fourth sequence.

[0323] The target fourth sequences corresponding to at least two on symbols of the SSS being the same can be understood as that the target fourth sequences corresponding to different on symbols in the at least two on symbols of the SSS are the same, or the target fourth sequence corresponding to each on symbol of the SSS is the same. The target fourth sequence corresponding to the on symbol is a set sequence or one of the fourth number of fourth sequences.

[0324] In the case that the target fourth sequences corresponding to different on symbols of the SSS are the same, the cover OFDM sequences carried on the different on symbols of the SSS are the same.

[0325] In the case that the target fourth sequence corresponding to each on symbol of the SSS is the same, the cover OFDM sequences carried on each on symbol of the SSS are the same, at this time, the first receiver can demodulate the SSS by OOK or demodulate the SSS by OFDM to obtain the target third sequence.

[0326] In the embodiments of the present application, if the target fourth sequence corresponding to each on symbol of the SSS is the same, the terminal device detects the cover OFDM sequence on different on symbols of the SSS, and can obtain the gain of time diversity and improve the detection performance.

[0327] The target fourth sequences corresponding to at least two on symbols of the SSS being different can be understood as that the target fourth sequences corresponding to different on symbols in the at least two on symbols are different. At this time, the cover OFDM sequences carried on the different on symbols of the SSS are different. The combination of the target fourth sequences corresponding to the at least two on symbols included in the SSS is the target fourth sequence obtained by demodulating the SSS.

[0328] In some embodiments, the target fourth sequences corresponding to at least two on symbols in the SSS are different, including:

[0329] The at least two on symbols correspond to different parts of one target fourth sequence; or,

[0330] The at least two on symbols correspond to different target fourth sequences respectively.

[0331] The target fourth sequence corresponding to one on symbol of the SSS can be a complete target fourth sequence, or a part of a complete target fourth sequence, i.e., a partial target fourth sequence. The time unit of a single target fourth sequence is different, and a longer cover OFDM sequence can be transmitted through the on symbol by corresponding a part of a complete target fourth sequence to one on symbol.

[0332] It can be understood that one target fourth sequence corresponds to L2 on symbols, where L2 is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0333] In the case where L2 is greater than 1, the multiple on symbols of the SSS correspond to a complete target fourth sequence, and different on symbols in the multiple on symbols correspond to different parts of a target fourth sequence.

[0334] In the case where L2 is equal to 1, each on symbol in the multiple on symbols of the SSS corresponds to a complete target fourth sequence. Different on symbols can correspond to different target fourth sequences.

[0335] In the case where different on symbols correspond to different target fourth sequences, the combination of the target fourth sequences covered on the multiple on symbols is used to determine the second information of the SSS.

[0336] In an example, there are M candidate combinations of the target fourth sequences on the on symbols on the SSS, where M is determined based on the number of possible fourth sequences of the target fourth sequences on each on symbol in the SSS. There are m on signals on the SSS signal, and the target fourth sequence corresponding to the i th on symbol is one of M fourth sequences, then M is i

[0337] In some embodiments, the target third sequence and / or the target fourth sequence is used to carry the second information of the SSS.

[0338] In the case where the target third sequence is used to carry the second information of the SSS, the terminal device can demodulate the SSS to obtain the target third sequence.

[0339] In the embodiments of the present application, for the SSS, the target third sequence can be obtained in the following cases:

[0340] The SSS is an on-off signal after OOK modulation of the target third sequence, and the first receiver demodulates the SSS by OOK;

[0341] The on symbol of the SSS is used to carry a signal after OFDM modulation of the target fourth sequence, and the first receiver demodulates the SSS by OOK;

[0342] ​The on symbol of the SSS is used to carry an OFDM modulated signal of the target fourth sequence, and the first receiver demodulates the SSS by OFDM.

[0343] In a case where the target fourth sequence is used to carry the second information of the SSS, the terminal device can demodulate the SSS to obtain the target fourth sequence.

[0344] In the embodiments of the present application, for the SSS, the target fourth sequence can be obtained in the following cases:

[0346] In a case where the target third sequence and the target fourth sequence are used to carry the second information of the SSS together, the terminal device can demodulate the SSS to obtain the target fourth sequence and the target third sequence.

[0347] In the embodiments of the present application, for the SSS, the target fourth sequence and the target third sequence can be obtained in the following cases:

[0348] The on symbol of the SSS is used to carry an OFDM modulated signal of the target fourth sequence, and the first receiver demodulates the SSS by OFDM.

[0349] In the embodiments of the present application, in a case where the target third sequence is one of the third number of first sequences, and the target fourth sequence is one of the fourth number of fourth sequences, the combined sequence of the target fourth sequence and the target third sequence includes the fourth number multiplied by the third number of possibilities, that is, the combined sequence of the target fourth sequence and the target third sequence includes the fourth number multiplied by the third number of candidate combined sequences.

[0350] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device receives the PSS and the SSS through the first receiver, which can effectively reduce the power consumption required for receiving the synchronization signal.

[0351] In a case where the terminal device receives the SSS through the second receiver

[0356] In the embodiments of the present application, the second receiver supports a third demodulation mode, and the terminal device receives the SSS through the second receiver, and the SSS has strong coverage performance.

[0357] In the case of receiving the SSS through the second receiver, the second receiver detects the SSS through a frequency domain correlation manner, and the second receiver needs to perform FFT processing, and therefore has high power consumption.

[0358] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device receives the PSS through the first receiver and receives the SSS through the second receiver, and different parts of the synchronization signal are received through different receivers, so that the strong coverage performance of the SSS is realized while reducing the power consumption required for receiving the PSS, thereby balancing the power consumption and the coverage performance.

[0359] In the embodiments of the present application, in the case that the terminal device includes the first receiver and the second receiver, different receivers can be used to receive the SSS according to different coverage performance requirements. In an example, in the case of high coverage performance requirement, the SSS is received through the second receiver.

[0364] In the case that the synchronization signal is used to implement cell search, that is, initial access, the synchronization signal is used to carry the cell identifier, that is, the first information of the PSS and / or the second information of the SSS are used to determine the cell identifier.

[0365] Optionally, the identifier is a physical cell identifier.

[0366] In some embodiments, the cell identifier is carried in the first information of the PSS, or carried in the second information of the SSS, or carried through the first information of the PSS and the second information of the SSS.

Among them, the modulation mode adopted by the network device for PBCH modulation can correspond to the demodulation mode adopted by the terminal device for PBCH demodulation.

[0382] In an example, the network device modulates the PBCH based on OFDM, and after receiving the PBCH, the terminal device demodulates the received PBCH based on OOK.

[0383] In some embodiments, the signal waveform of the PBCH is an on-off signal, and the on-off signal has a value of on or off in each symbol.

[0384] In the case where the signal waveform of the PBCH is an on-off signal, the PBCH can be understood as a PBCH sequence.

[0389] In the embodiments of the present application, the sequence type of the target fifth sequence can include one of the following: M sequence, Gold sequence.

[0390] The length of the PBCH is determined based on the length of the target fifth sequence. Among them, if the length of the target fifth sequence is n bits, then the length of the PBCH is 2 n -1 bits, and at most 2 n -1 sequences can be generated.

[0421] The network device performs OFDM modulation on the target sixth sequence to obtain the signal after the OFDM modulation, that is, the overlaid OFDM sequence, and carries the overlaid OFDM sequence on the on symbol of the PBCH.

[0422] Here, the on symbol of the PBCH carries the overlaid OFDM sequence, that is, the on symbol of the PBCH appears as the waveform of the OFDM sequence. It can be understood that in the case where the modulation mode of the PBCH is OOK, the on symbol of the PBCH does not carry the overlaid OFDM sequence.

[0433] In an example, the target fifth sequence is a binary sequence, and the on symbol of the PBCH corresponds to 1 in the coded sequence of the target fifth sequence, and the off symbol of the PBCH corresponds to 0 in the coded sequence of the target fifth sequence.

[0434] In the embodiments of the present application, in the case that the on symbol of the PBCH carries the cover OFDM sequence, the target fifth sequence can be used to control the network device to generate the cover OFDM sequence in the part corresponding to the on symbol of the PBCH.

[0435] In the second PBCH scenario, for the PBCH carrying the cover OFDM sequence on the on symbol, the demodulation mode adopted by the first receiver includes OOK or OFDM.

[0436] Taking the PBCH carrying the OFDM sequence on the on symbol as an example, the terminal device demodulates the PBCH by the first receiver in the first demodulation or second demodulation mode, including: the terminal device demodulates the PBCH by the first receiver in OOK to obtain the target fifth sequence.

[0437] It can be understood that the PBCH is used for the terminal device to obtain the target fifth sequence by demodulating the PBCH by the first receiver in OOK.

[0438] Here, the terminal device detects the PBCH by the first receiver based on OOK to obtain the target fifth sequence.

[0439] The first receiver can detect the PBCH by time domain detection such as envelope detection and autocorrelation detection to obtain the target fifth sequence.

[0440] In the embodiments of the present application, the first receiver demodulates the PBCH in OOK to obtain the target fifth sequence, and the target fifth sequence is used to carry the third information of the PBCH.

[0441] Taking the PBCH carrying the OFDM sequence on the on symbol as an example, the terminal device demodulates the PBCH by the first receiver in the first demodulation or second demodulation mode, including:

[0442] The terminal device demodulates the PBCH by the first receiver in OFDM to obtain the target sixth sequence and / or the target fifth sequence.

[0443] It can be understood that the PBCH is used for the terminal device to obtain the target sixth sequence and / or the target fifth sequence by demodulating the PBCH by the first receiver in OFDM.

[0444] Here, the terminal device detects the PBCH by the first receiver based on OFDM to obtain the target sixth sequence and / or the target fifth sequence.

[0445] In the embodiments of the present application, the first receiver based on OFDM detects the PBCH to cover the OFDM sequence, and determines the position of the on symbol according to the detection result, so as to obtain the target fifth sequence.

[0446] In the embodiments of the present application, the first receiver based on OFDM detects the PBCH to cover the OFDM sequence, and determines the position of the on symbol according to the detection result, so as to obtain the target fifth sequence.

[0447] In the embodiments of the present application, the first receiver based on OFDM detects the PBCH to cover the OFDM sequence, and determines the position of the on symbol according to the detection result, so as to obtain the target fifth sequence.

[0448] In some embodiments, the target sixth sequences corresponding to at least two on symbols in the PBCH are the same; or, the target sixth sequences corresponding to at least two on symbols in the PBCH are different.

[0449] The target sixth sequence corresponding to the on symbol of the PBCH can be understood as that the on symbol of the PBCH carries the signal after OFDM modulation of the target sixth sequence, that is, the on symbol of the PBCH carries the cover OFDM sequence generated by the target sixth sequence.

[0450] The target sixth sequences corresponding to at least two on symbols of the PBCH are the same, which can be understood as that the target sixth sequences corresponding to different on symbols in the at least two on symbols of the PBCH are the same, or the target sixth sequences corresponding to each on symbol of the PBCH are the same. The target sixth sequence corresponding to the on symbol is a set sequence or one of the sixth sequences of the sixth quantity.

[0451] In the case that the target sixth sequences corresponding to different on symbols of the PBCH are the same, the cover OFDM sequences carried on the different on symbols of the PBCH are the same.

[0452] In the case that the target sixth sequences corresponding to each on symbol of the PBCH are the same, the cover OFDM sequences carried on each on symbol of the PBCH are the same, at this time, the first receiver can demodulate the PBCH by OOK or demodulate the PBCH by OFDM to obtain the target fifth sequence.

[0453] In this embodiment of the application, if the target sixth sequence corresponding to each on symbol of the PBCH is the same, the terminal device can obtain the temporal diversity gain and improve the detection performance by detecting the covered OFDM sequence on different on symbols of the PBCH.

[0454] The fact that at least two on symbols of a PBCH correspond to different target sixth sequences can be understood as different target sixth sequences corresponding to different on symbols within those at least two on symbols. In this case, the OFDM overlay sequences carried on different on symbols of the PBCH are different. The combination of target sixth sequences corresponding to at least two on symbols included in the PBCH constitutes the target sixth sequence obtained by demodulating the PBCH.

[0455] In some embodiments, at least two on symbols in the PBCH correspond to different target sixth sequences, including:

[0456] The at least two on symbols correspond to different parts of a target sixth sequence; or, the at least two on symbols correspond to different target sixth sequences respectively.

[0457] A single on symbol in a PBCH corresponds to a target sixth sequence that can be a complete target sixth sequence or a part of a complete target sixth sequence (i.e., a partial target sixth sequence). Since the time units of individual target sixth sequences differ, a longer overlay OFDM sequence can be transmitted using one on symbol corresponding to a part of a complete target sixth sequence.

[0458] Understandably, a target sixth sequence corresponds to L3 on symbols, where L3 is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0459] When L2 is greater than 1, multiple on symbols in PBCH correspond to a complete target sixth sequence, and different on symbols among the multiple on symbols correspond to different parts of a target sixth sequence.

[0460] When L2 equals 1, each of the multiple on symbols in PBCH corresponds to a complete target fourth sequence. Different on symbols can correspond to different target fourth sequences.

[0461] In some embodiments, the target fifth sequence and / or the target sixth sequence are used to carry broadcast information of the PBCH.

[0462] When the target fifth sequence is used to carry broadcast information of PBCH, the terminal device can demodulate PBCH to obtain the target fifth sequence.

[0463] In the embodiments of this application, the target fifth sequence can be obtained for PBCH under the following conditions:

[0466] PBCH is an OOK modulated signal of the target sixth sequence, and the first receiver demodulates the PBCH using OOK.

[0469] PBCH is an OOK modulated signal of the target sixth sequence, and the first receiver demodulates the PBCH using OOK.

[0470] In the case where the target sixth sequence is used to carry broadcast information of the PBCH, the terminal device can demodulate the PBCH to obtain the target sixth sequence and the target fifth sequence.

[0471] In the case where the target sixth sequence is used to carry broadcast information of the PBCH, the terminal device can demodulate the PBCH to obtain the target sixth sequence and the target fifth sequence.

[0472] PBCH is an OOK modulated signal of the target sixth sequence, and the first receiver demodulates the PBCH using OOK.

[0473] In some embodiments, the broadcast information can include an index (index) corresponding to a synchronization signal or a broadcast channel, such as an index of a synchronization signal, and can include subcarrier spacing information, control channel resource information, cell access control information, system frame number information, auxiliary search information, etc.

[0474] In the case where the target fifth sequence is one of the fifth number of first sequences and the target sixth sequence is one of the sixth number of sixth sequences, the combined sequence of the target sixth sequence and the target fifth sequence includes the sixth number multiplied by the fifth number of possibilities, i.e., the combined sequence of the target sixth sequence and the target fifth sequence includes the sixth number multiplied by the fifth number of candidate combined sequences.

[0546] In the embodiments of the present application, the target eighth sequence can be used to determine the system information of the system message.

[0547] In some embodiments, the on symbol and the off symbol of the PBCH are associated with the target seventh sequence.

[0548] The on symbol and the off symbol of the system message can be associated with the target seventh sequence, or can be associated with the sequence after the target seventh sequence is encoded.

[0549] In the embodiments of the present application, in the case that the on symbol of the system message carries the covering OFDM sequence, the target seventh sequence can be used to control the network device to generate the covering OFDM sequence in the part corresponding to the on symbol of the system message.

[0552] The terminal device demodulates the system message by the first receiver using OOK to obtain the target seventh sequence.

[0553] It can be understood that the system message is used for the terminal device to obtain the target seventh sequence by demodulating the system message by the first receiver in the OOK manner.

[0554] Here, the terminal device obtains the target seventh sequence by detecting the system message by the first receiver in the OOK manner.

[0555] Taking the demodulation manner of the first receiver as the OFDM for the system message carrying the OFDM sequence of the on symbol as an example, the terminal device demodulates the system message by the first receiver in the first demodulation manner or the second demodulation manner, and the demodulation manner includes:

[0556] The terminal device demodulates the system message by the first receiver in the OFDM manner to obtain the target eighth sequence and / or the target seventh sequence.

[0566] In the embodiments of the present application, the bit number of the effective SIB1 information is relatively large, and it is not an efficient way to carry the SIB1 information by the OOK signal or the covered OFDM sequence. Therefore, the SIB1 can be further simplified, or a new SIB1 can be defined, to reduce the size of the system information, so as to adapt to the carrying of the system information of the system message, and to realize that the terminal device receives the system information by the first receiver and realizes low power consumption.

[0567] In the scenario that the terminal device receives the system message by the second receiver

[0568] In some embodiments, S802 comprises:

[0569] The terminal device receives the system message by the second receiver according to the synchronization signal.

[0570] In some embodiments, S902 comprises:

[0571] The network device transmits the system message according to the synchronization signal, and the system message is used for the terminal device to receive by the second receiver.

[0572] It can be understood that the system message is used for the terminal device to receive by the second receiver according to the synchronization signal.

[0573] In the embodiments of the present application, the second receiver supports a third demodulation mode, and in the case that the terminal device receives the system message by the second receiver, the demodulation mode of the system message is the third demodulation mode, and the system message has strong coverage performance.

[0574] In the case that the terminal device receives the system message by the second receiver, the second receiver detects the system message by the frequency domain correlation mode, and therefore needs to perform FFT processing, and has high power consumption.

[0575] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device receives the PSS by the first receiver, and receives the system message by the second receiver, and combines the synchronization signal and the system message by different receivers respectively, so as to reduce the power consumption required for receiving the synchronization signal, and realize the strong coverage performance of the system message, thereby balancing the power consumption and the coverage performance.

[0576] Next, the wireless communication method provided by the embodiments of the present application is described by taking the synchronization signal used for cell search as an example.

[0577] The embodiment of the present application provides a design method of a synchronization signal, which can enable a terminal device to perform cell search through a low-power receiver. Correspondingly, the waveform of the synchronization signal is suitable for detection of the UE through the low-power receiver, so as to enhance the cell search process and realize more power-saving cell search.

[0578] Design of a synchronization signal

[0579] In order to realize low-power cell search, the UE needs to have LPR, and searches for the synchronization signal through the LPR, so as to achieve the purpose of power saving. Compared with the high power consumption of the traditional receiver based on OFDM, the OOK and FSK receivers based on envelope detection are more power-saving, or the power consumption of the LPR based on the OFDM waveform is lower than that of the traditional OFDM receiver. Therefore, the waveform of the synchronization signal also needs to support the detection of the LPR. The waveform of the synchronization signal sent by the network can include OOK, FSK or PSK, or can be an OFDM sequence.

[0580] The synchronization signal includes PSS and SSS. Through the sequence detection result of the PSS and the SSS, the physical cell ID can be determined.

[0581] For example, there are three candidate sequences of the PSS, and through the three sequences, the parameters There are 336 candidate sequences of the SSS, and the parameters The PSS and the SSS in combination can indicate 1008 physical cell IDs.

[0582] PSS signal

[0583] The PSS signal adopts OOK modulation

[0584] In order to realize the energy saving of the UE in cell search, for the waveform of the PSS signal, a modulation mode other than OFDM can be used, such as OOK.

[0585] Taking the PSS signal based on the M sequence generation as an example, the M sequence is a kind of pseudo-random binary sequence, which is generated by a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) and has a specific length and characteristics. The length of the M sequence is 2 n -1, wherein n is the number of bits of the register. For example, n=3, the sequence length is 2 3 -1, that is, 7 bits. The M sequence has good autocorrelation and randomness, and is often used for testing and synchronization signals. A longer m sequence can obtain better autocorrelation and randomness. For example, the sequence length of the PSS is 127. In an example, the M sequence with a length of 7 is taken as the PSS for illustration, for example, the M sequence is 1101001, and the OOK signal generated after the OOK modulation of the sequence 1101001 is shown in FIG. 13.

[0586] Manchester coding is a line coding technique. In Manchester coding, a bit is represented by a change in level to indicate the value of the bit. This coding ensures that there is at least one level change in each signal element, providing an opportunity for clock synchronization. A bit value of 0 is represented by a change from high to low level. A bit value of 1 is represented by a change from low to high level. Since each bit contains a level transition, the receiver can use this characteristic to synchronize the data stream. At the same time, the receiver can recover the clock used at the time of transmission from the received signal, so that a separate clock signal channel is not required. After Manchester coding, the M sequence 1101001 is modulated by OOK to generate an OOK signal as shown in FIG. 14.

[0587] The PSS is the first signal searched by the terminal device in the cell search process, and it usually uses fewer candidate sequences. For example, the PSS needs to include 3 possibilities, and the UE can detect the PSS through a time domain correlation operation, thereby reducing the complexity and power consumption of searching for the PSS. In the embodiments of the present application, the UE can further reduce the complexity and power consumption of searching for the PSS in the cell search process through the LPR. Therefore, at least for the PSS signal, a signal waveform that can be received by the LPR, such as an OOK modulated waveform, can be designed.

[0588] The PSS signal adopts an OFDM sequence

[0589] In the embodiments of the present application, the on signal in the OOK signal can be generated by covering the OFDM sequence. This is also applicable to the waveform of the PSS signal. After Manchester coding, the M sequence 1101001 is modulated by OOK to generate an OOK signal as shown in FIG. 15, wherein the on signal is covered by an OFDM sequence.

[0590] Under this signal structure, the UE can detect the SSS through the OOK-based LPR, and can also detect the PSS through the OFDM-based LPR or MR, depending on different coverage scenarios.

[0591] The information corresponding to the PSS for determining the physical cell ID, such as may be carried by the OOK sequence, may be carried by the covered OFDM sequence, or may be jointly carried by the covered OFDM sequence and the OOK sequence.

[0592] The description of the PSS signal adopting the covered OFDM sequence can be referred to the description of the SSS signal adopting the covered OFDM sequence, which will not be repeated here.

[0593] In addition to using the sequence to carry information for determining the physical cell ID, the OOK signal can also be used to carry information bits, and the information for determining the physical cell ID is carried by the carried information bits. This is because the OOK signal has lower power consumption by detecting the OOK signal based on LPR. At this time, the OOK signal is equivalent to an information-carrying channel that carries information for determining the physical cell ID. Specifically, in order to facilitate the reception of the OOK signal carrying information, the OOK signal can have a preamble, which is a fixed sequence, facilitating the UE to search for the OOK signal.

[0594] SSS signal

[0595] After searching for the PSS signal, the UE further detects the SSS to obtain the cell ID. The number of candidate sequences of the SSS is generally large, such as 336 candidate sequences of the SSS in the NR system. The increase in the number of candidate sequences requires a longer sequence to ensure good autocorrelation, which will cause a long signal duration for OOK modulation, increasing the detection delay and complexity of the SSS signal. Taking the NR system as an example, the SSS is a Gold sequence with a length of 127, occupying 127 REs in the frequency domain. For the detection of the SSS, the UE can use time domain correlation or frequency domain correlation. At this time, the SSS is an OFDM modulated signal, and the receiver for detecting the SSS needs to support OFDM demodulation. In the demodulation mode using time domain correlation, the receiver can not use the FFT module, can achieve lower receiver power, and can realize low-power OFDM signal reception. In the demodulation mode using frequency domain correlation, the receiver needs to have and enable the FFT module, and needs higher receiver power.

[0596] Based on the above analysis, the SSS signal can use OOK modulation or OFDM modulation or use an OFDM sequence.

[0597] SSS signal using OOK modulation

[0598] In order to maximize the low-power detection of the SSS signal, the SSS signal can use OOK modulation. In order to reduce the detection delay and complexity of detecting the long sequence of the OOK modulation, the SSS can be composed of multiple short sequences. Through the detection results of the multiple short sequences, combined with the detection results of the PSS, the physical cell ID can be obtained.

[0599] Taking the M sequence as an example, the number of stages n of the linear feedback shift register determines the length of the M sequence, and the characteristic polynomial and the initial state of the shift register can determine the generation of the M sequence with a length of 2 nM sequence of -1. Different characteristic polynomials can produce different M sequences, and under a certain degree, N different characteristic polynomials correspond to N basic M sequences. Since the characteristic polynomial needs to be a primitive polynomial, the number of primitive polynomials under different degrees is limited, and after a given degree, the number of basic M sequences of the degree is known.

[0600] For a basic M sequence, more M sequences can be generated by cyclic shift. The cyclic shift of the M sequence refers to moving each bit in the sequence to the left or right according to a certain rule, that is, moving the highest bit or the lowest bit to the other side. The cyclic left shift operation is to move the high bits of the sequence to the low bits in order by a certain number of bits. The cyclic right shift operation is to move the low bits of the sequence to the high bits in order by a certain number of bits. By cyclic shift of a basic M sequence, multiple different M sequences can be generated. The length of an n-degree M sequence is 2 n -1, if each cyclic shift is one bit, then a maximum of S = 2 n -1 cyclic shift sequences (including the basic M sequence) can be generated; if each cyclic shift is k bits (offset k of the cyclic shift), then a maximum of ( -1 cyclic shift sequences (including the basic M sequence) can be generated.

[0601] Therefore, multiple sequences that make up the SSS can be generated based on different characteristic polynomials, respectively. For example, select an M sequence of degree 4, and the sequence length is 15. There are 2 basic M sequences, and each basic M sequence can generate 15 M sequences by cyclic shift. If two basic M sequences that make up the SSS have 15 candidate sequences, respectively, then two M sequences can represent 15*15 = 225 detection values related to the physical cell ID.

[0602] Taking the Gold sequence as an example, the Gold sequence is composed of M sequences preferred modulo 2 addition, and each change of the cyclic shift of an M sequence can obtain a new Gold sequence. If the cyclic shifts of two M sequences in the M sequence preferred pair are changed at the same time, and then modulo 2 addition is performed, a maximum of (2 n -1)*(2 n -1) Gold sequences can be formed. Taking an M sequence of degree 4 as an example, the sequence length is 15. For an M sequence preferred pair, 225 Gold sequences can be generated. The Gold sequences generated by an M sequence preferred pair can be defined as a Gold sequence group. Multiple M sequence preferred pairs correspond to multiple Gold sequence groups.

[0603] In addition to using the OOK sequence to carry information for determining the physical cell ID, the OOK signal can also be used to carry information bits, and the information bits carried are used to determine the physical cell ID.

[0604] SSS signal adopts OFDM modulation

[0605] The SSS signal can adopt an OFDM modulated sequence. (In the embodiments of the present application, the OFDM sequence represents an OFDM sequence of the PSS or SSS generated by the related technology, and the cover OFDM sequence represents an OFDM sequence of the on signal covered in the OOK signal.)

[0606] In order to realize low-power detection, the LPR can detect the SSS in a time domain correlation manner, and the LPR can not use the FFT module, so that a lower receiver power can be achieved. At this time, it is required that the frequency domain bandwidth of the SSS signal has sufficient guard interval with other signals in the frequency domain.

[0607] Further, another possible detection manner is that the UE detects the SSS in a frequency domain correlation manner, and the receiver needs to perform FFT processing, so that the power consumption is relatively high. At this time, the receiver of the UE for detecting the SSS is not much different from the existing OFDM receiver, for example, the UE detects the SSS through the main receiver (MR, Main Radio).

[0608] Generally, the UE can simultaneously have the LPR and the MR that can detect the OFDM signal, and they have different coverage performances. In some scenarios in which the coverage performance needs to be improved, the UE can start the MR to detect the SSS.

[0609] SSS adopts cover OFDM sequence

[0610] The SSS signal can generate the on signal in the OOK signal through the cover OFDM sequence. This is also applicable to the waveform of the SSS signal. After the Manchester coding of the M sequence 1101001, the OOK modulation is performed to generate the waveform as shown in FIG. 15.

[0611] Under this signal structure, the UE can detect the SSS through the OOK-based LPR, or can detect the SSS through the OFDM-based LPR or MR, depending on different coverage scenarios.

[0612] Specifically, the OFDM sequence covered by the on signal in the OOK signal can be a fixed sequence, or can be a plurality of possible candidate sequences.

[0613] If it is a fixed sequence, the OFDM-based LPR of the UE determines the on signal only through the detection of the cover OFDM sequence, so as to detect the OOK sequence. At this time, the information corresponding to the SSS sequence for determining the physical cell ID, such as the OOK sequence, is carried.

[0614] If there are multiple candidate sequences for the covering OFDM sequence, the UE's OFDM-based LPR can determine the covered OFDM sequence through detection of the covering OFDM sequence, the OFDM sequence used by the SSS signal, information that can be used to determine the physical cell ID, such as

[0615] Further, the information used to determine the physical cell ID can be jointly carried by the covering OFDM sequence and the OOK sequence. For example, the OOK sequence can include N candidate sequences, and the UE's OOK-based LPR detects the OOK sequence through correlation operation. The covering OFDM sequence can include M candidate sequences, and the UE's OFDM-based LPR detects the covering OFDM sequence through correlation operation. The UE can also use the OFDM-based LPR to determine the position of the on symbol according to the correlation result in the correlation process of the covering OFDM sequence, thereby obtaining the demodulation result of the OOK signal and determining the OOK sequence through correlation operation. The covering OFDM sequence and the OOK sequence jointly can exist N*M possible combination sequences, which can be used to determine the information of the physical cell ID, such as

[0616] The OFDM sequences covered by different on signals in the OOK signal can be the same sequence or different sequences.

[0617] If they are the same sequence, the UE detects the covering OFDM sequence on different on signals, which can obtain the gain of time diversity and improve the detection performance.

[0618] If they are different sequences, the UE's OFDM-based LPR can determine the OFDM sequences covered by different on signals through detection of the covering OFDM sequence, and the combination of these sequences can obtain information used to determine the physical cell ID, such as For example, there are 2 on signals in the OOK signal, the first on signal covers OFDM sequences including N candidate sequences, and the second on signal covers OFDM sequences including M candidate sequences. The covering OFDM sequences on the 2 on signals can exist N*M possible combination sequences, which can be used to determine the information of the physical cell ID.

[0619] Specifically, the on signal in the OOK signal covering the OFDM sequence can be a complete covering OFDM sequence, or a part of the covering OFDM sequence. The time unit of transmitting a single covering OFDM sequence is different, and a longer covering OFDM sequence can be transmitted through the OOK signal by transmitting a part of the complete covering OFDM sequence on 1 OOK symbol. The LPR of the UE performs correlation detection on the received signals from multiple on signals, and does not include off signals. As shown in FIG. 16, the lengths of sequence 1610, sequence 1620, and sequence 1630 are different, and they are transmitted through 4, 2, and 1 on signals, respectively.

[0620] Design of broadcast channel

[0621] After the UE searches for the PSS and SSS and determines the physical cell ID through the PSS and SSS, the UE needs to receive the PBCH to obtain the broadcast information. The broadcast information can be carried through the OOK modulated signal. At this time, the OOK signal can not only carry the broadcast information through the OOK sequence, but also directly carry the payload of the broadcast information, such as the information bits after encoding of the broadcast information and the corresponding CRC check bits, through the OOK signal. It can be received by the OOK-based LPR. If the on signal in the OOK signal covers a fixed OFDM sequence, the detection of the OOK signal can also be received by the OFDM-based LPR.

[0622] The on signal in the OOK signal of the PBCH can cover the OFDM sequence, and the corresponding broadcast information can be received by the OFDM-based LPR through different carrying of the covering OFDM sequence. Similar to the description in section 1.2.3, carrying the broadcast information through the covering OFDM sequence can include:

[0623] The OFDM sequence covered by the on signal includes a plurality of possible candidate sequences, and the broadcast information is carried through the different sequences;

[0624] Different on symbols cover different OFDM sequences, and the broadcast information is carried through the combination of different sequences;

[0625] The OFDM sequence covered by one or more on signals is a complete covering OFDM sequence, and the broadcast information is carried through the different sequences;

[0626] Further, the broadcast information can be jointly carried by the OOK signal and the covered OFDM sequence. For example, the OOK signal carries part of the broadcast information, and the covered OFDM sequence carries another part of the broadcast information. The UE detects the OOK signal based on the OOK-based LPR to obtain the broadcast information carried by the OOK signal, and the UE detects the OFDM sequence based on the OFDM-based LPR to obtain the broadcast information carried by the covered OFDM sequence. The UE can also use the OFDM-based LPR to obtain the demodulation result of the OOK signal in the process of correlating the covered OFDM sequence according to the correlation result, so as to obtain the broadcast information carried by the OOK signal.

[0627] The broadcast information can include an index corresponding to a synchronization signal or a broadcast channel, such as a synchronization signal block index in NR, and can include subcarrier spacing information, control channel resource information, cell access control information, system frame number information, auxiliary search information, and the like.

[0628] System information

[0629] In the related art, the SIB1 information in the system information is obtained through the broadcast information to obtain the control channel resource information, the PDCCH is detected through the control channel resource information, and the SIB1 is obtained through the scheduling of the PDCCH.

[0630] In the embodiments of the present application, the system information can also be carried by the above-mentioned method, including the OOK signal, the covered OFDM sequence, and the joint carrying of the two. The specific process will not be repeated. It should be noted that the number of bits of the effective SIB1 information is relatively large, and it is not an efficient way to carry it through the OOK signal or the covered OFDM sequence. Therefore, the SIB1 can be further simplified, or the necessary system information block can be newly defined to reduce the size of the system information, so as to be suitable for being transmitted by the above-mentioned method, to realize that the UE receives the system information through the LPR and realizes low power consumption.

[0631] The OOK sequence or the OFDM sequence provided in the embodiments of the present application is exemplified by the M sequence or the Gold sequence, and the present application is not limited thereto, such as the following sequences:

[0632] ZC sequence (ZC sequence);

[0646] 2. When PSS or SSS is modulated by OOK, it is carried by overlaid OFDM sequence, at this time, OOK can be a fixed sequence.

At this time, the waveforms of the SSB and the CSI-RS can adopt the scheme designed in the present application, such as OOK modulation, overlaid OFDM sequence, etc., so as to realize low power consumption of the UE in these processes.
