Background technology
Random access procedure (Random access procedure) is used to set up subscriber equipment (UE, User Equipment) with the uplink synchronous of base station (eNB), use PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel by the sub-frame of uplink that is used for inserting at random that in system, disposes, Physical Random Access Channel) sends random access guiding (preamble) sequence, and the accidental access response (RAR of reception base station feedback, Random Access Response), realize uplink synchronous.Random access procedure is divided into competition and inserts at random and non-competing access at random.
Non-competing random access procedure is referring to shown in Figure 1, and it comprises: UE receives that eNB sends is used to dispose the non-competing message (Msg0) that inserts employed exclusive preamble and PRACH resource at random.The content of Msg0 carrying comprises ra-PreambleIndex (Random Access Preamble) and ra-PRACH-MaskIndex (PRACH Mask Index) at least.Ra-PreambleIndex is used to indicate the dedicated preamble numbering, and ra-PRACH-MaskIndex is used to indicate the PRACH resource number.UE sends the dedicated preamble sequence (Msg1) of configuration to eNB on corresponding PRACH resource according to the PRACH resource number.UE is by PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, Physical Downlink Shared Channel) receives the RAR (Msg2) that eNB returns, wherein RAR is by RA-RNTI (Random Access-Radio Network Temporary Identifier, the wireless network of Jie Ruing is discerned temporarily at random) PDCCH (the Physical Downlink Control Channel of scrambling, Physical Downlink Control Channel) scheduling, on the PDSCH of this PDCCH scheduling, transmit, the RAR that can comprise a plurality of UE among this PDSCH comprises the TA value and is used to dispatch the uplink scheduling permission (UL grant) that this UE Msg3 transmits (perhaps follow-up uplink) among the RAR of each UE.RA-RANTI is corresponding one by one with the PRACH resource, the only corresponding RA-RNTI of PRACH resource, and RA-RNTI=1+t_id+10*f_id, wherein: t_id is the numbering of first subframe of PRACH resource correspondence, value 0≤t_id<10; F_id is that the PRACH resource is numbered value (0≤f_id<6) in the numbering of frequency domain in the subframe according to the frequency domain ascending order.The UE that has sent preamble needs the PDCCH of the interior RA-RNTI of monitoring of the RAR receiver window scrambling of in-system define, if detect, and the preamble sign that comprises its transmission among this RAR, then UE thinks that RAR receives successfully, and use TA (the Time Alignment that carries among this RAR, Timing Advance) carry out the uplink synchronous adjustment, expression inserts successfully at random, and then random access procedure finishes.
UE needs to determine the PRACH resource before sending Msg1.At LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) in the system, defined 5 kinds of PRACH (Preamble) structure, the length of every kind of structure on time domain is difference to some extent, as shown in table 1, all be to take 6 PRB (Physical Resource Block, Physical Resource Block) (i.e. 72 subcarriers) on frequency domain.For FDD (Frequency Division Duplex, Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD)) system, a PRACH is arranged at the most in the subframe.For TDD (Time Division Duplex, time division duplex) system, there are 6 PRACH to carry out frequency division multiplexing in the subframe at most.Transmission density and preamble format (targeting sequencing form) according to PRACH, 64 kinds of PRACH configurations have been defined in the FDD system, TDD system definition 58 kinds of PRACH configurations, can be used to send the subframe set of PRACH in a kind of preamble format (targeting sequencing form) that every kind of PRACH configuration is corresponding uses in this system and the radio frames, high-level signaling is notified the employed PRACH configuration index of UE (PRACH Configuration Index).
Table 1, Preamble parameter
By above flow process as can be known, in Msg2, eNB all needs the scheduling by PDCCH by the RAR of PDSCH transmission, and transmits on PDSCH.
For LTE-A (Long Term Evolution Advanced, long-term evolution upgrading) system, for supporting than LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) the bigger system bandwidth of system, can some spectrum aggregatings of existing system will be distributed to, gather into big bandwidth and use, be i.e. carrier aggregation technology (CA, Carrier Aggregation).The up-downgoing carrier wave can asymmetricly dispose in this moment system, and promptly the user may take the individual carrier wave in N1 〉=1 (N1 is a parameter preset) and carries out downlink transfer, and the individual carrier wave in N2 〉=1 (N2 is a parameter preset) carries out uplink, as shown in Figure 2.
In LTE-A Rel-10 (version 10) the CA system, up direction is only supported continuous carrier aggregation, and each UE is by Pcell (Primary cell of base station assigns, the main plot): a Cell (sub-district) comprises a descending carrier and a up-link carrier for the FDD system, and a carrier wave promptly becomes a Cell for the TDD system.The access at random of CA UE occurs over just on the Pcell among the LTE-A Rel-10, and all Cell use identical TA to carry out the uplink synchronous adjustment.UE only need be on PCell blind check common search space, to be identified for dispatching the PDCCH of RAR.On SCell (Secondary cell, auxilliary sub-district), UE only needs blind check UE dedicated search space, to obtain the PDCCH that is used for data dispatch.For the UE ability of Rel-10, CA UE is not included in the last blind check to the common search space of SCell in the design of physical layer PDCCH blind check number of times.
Different with LTE-A Rel-10 system, LTE-A Rel-11 (version 11) system need support more complicated carrier aggregation scene, comprising: the 1) carrier aggregation of up different frequency range; 2) the carrier aggregation deployment scheme of macro base station (Macro eNB) and RRH (Remote Radio Head, long distance wireless head) mixing.Wherein the example of the carrier aggregation deployment scheme of macro base station and RRH mixing as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4.For Fig. 3, frequency F1 is used by macro base station, and grand covering is provided, and frequency F2 is used by RRH, and the more high-throughput of hot zones is provided.UE in the high-speed mobile carries out work on the frequency of F1, guarantee professional row continuously.F1 is in different frequency ranges with F2 on frequency, for example F1 is positioned on 800MHz or the 2GHz frequency range, and F2 is positioned on the 3.5GHz frequency range.In the geographic area that F2 RRH covers, F2 can carry out carrier aggregation with F1.For Fig. 4, frequency F1 and F2 are used by macro base station, because frequency range, F2 compares F1 and has littler coverage, therefore dispose RRH at the cell edge of F2 and cover expansion.Cover overlapping areas at F1 and F2, F1 and F2 can carry out carrier aggregation.
Because the radio signal propagation characteristic difference of different frequency range, if therefore UE on the member carrier that is positioned at two distances frequency range far away simultaneously to base station transmit signals, then difference can appear in two signals time of arriving the base station.In addition, according to the example among Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, if UE is in macro base station and the common geographic area that covers of RRH, and carried out the carrier aggregation of F1 and F2, then because F1 is the macro base station use, F2 is that RRH uses, and then the signal on two frequencies is through different propagation paths, and difference appears in the time that the signal that causes UE to send simultaneously on F1 and F2 arrives the base station.Therefore, carrier aggregation at different frequency range, or in the carrier aggregation deployment scenario of macro base station and RRH mixing, Pcell is different with the Scell signal path can to have caused the transmission time difference, a plurality of sub-district Cell need the uplink synchronous of independent foundation and maintenance and base station, therefore need be supported on the Scell and insert at random, to realize the uplink synchronous adjustment.Do not define the access way at random of above-mentioned scene at present in the standard.
Embodiment
In the dedicated search space of UE, utilize Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) the transmission accidental access response of random access radio network temporary mark (RA-RNTI) scrambling in the embodiment of the invention, realized random access procedure, be particularly useful for SCell, the PDCCH of RA-RNTI scrambling is in the transmission of the dedicated search space of UE, do not increase the blind check number of times of UE to PDCCH, and need not transmit accidental access response at PDSCH, the PDCCH scheduling PDSCH that has also just avoided SCell to go up by the RA-RNTI scrambling transmits, transmit on the PDSCH of the PDCCH of RA-RNTI scrambling scheduling with accidental access response and to compare, saved the expense of downlink data transmission to a certain extent.
Referring to Fig. 5, insert at the method flow of UE side as follows in the present embodiment at random:
Step 501:UE receives the configuration information of access at random that the base station sends, and determines exclusive random access guiding (preamble) sequence of using on the sub-district that needs insert at random and exclusive Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) resource that is used to send described exclusive preamble sequence according to described configuration information.Concrete, described UE receives the configuration information of access at random that the base station sends by PDCCH order (order) or Radio Resource control (RRC) signaling, and the described configuration information that inserts at random comprises that at least configuration gives the index information of exclusive preamble sequence of the sub-district that the needs of described UE insert at random and the index information of exclusive PRACH resource.
Step 502: described UE sends described exclusive preamble sequence by described definite exclusive PRACH resource to the base station on the sub-district that needs insert at random.
Step 503: described UE detects the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) that adopts random access radio network temporary mark (RA-RNTI) scrambling in the dedicated search space of described UE, obtains the described accidental access response that has sent the sub-district of exclusive preamble sequence from described PDCCH.Described accidental access response comprises the Timing Advance (TA) that the uplink synchronous that is used for the described sub-district that has sent exclusive preamble sequence is adjusted at least.UE can carry out the uplink synchronous adjustment according to the value of this TA.
Preferable, described accidental access response also comprises the described uplink scheduling permission UL grant signaling that has sent the sub-district correspondence of exclusive preamble sequence.
UE is in the described sub-district correspondence that has sent exclusive preamble sequence, is used for transmitting the dedicated search space of the described UE on the sub-district of dispatch of described sub-district, detects the PDCCH of described RA-RNTI scrambling.
When the PDCCH of described RA-RNTI scrambling does not adopt when striding carrier dispatching, the sub-district and the described sub-district that has sent exclusive preamble sequence that are used to transmit the dispatch of the described sub-district correspondence that has sent exclusive preamble sequence are same sub-district.Then, detect the PDCCH of described RA-RNTI scrambling in the dedicated search space of the described UE of described UE on the described sub-district that has sent exclusive preamble sequence, the accidental access response that carries among the PDCCH of described RA-RNTI scrambling is corresponding to the sub-district at the PDCCH transmission place of described RA-RNTI scrambling.For example, UE has sent exclusive preamble sequence on sub-district 1, and the dispatch of sub-district 1 just sends on sub-district 1, and then UE detects the PDCCH of RA-RNTI scrambling in the UE of sub-district 1 dedicated search space, therefrom obtains the TA of respective cell 1; The accidental access response that carries among the PDCCH of UE detected RA-RNTI scrambling on sub-district 1 is the accidental access response of sub-district 1.
When the PDCCH of described RA-RNTI scrambling adopts when striding carrier dispatching, the sub-district and the described sub-district that has sent described exclusive preamble sequence that are used to transmit the dispatch of the described sub-district correspondence that has sent exclusive preamble sequence may be different districts.Then, in the dedicated search space of the described UE of described UE on the sub-district of the described sub-district that has sent exclusive preamble sequence being striden carrier dispatching, detect the PDCCH of described RA-RNTI scrambling, the carrier wave indication indicated sub-district, territory of carrying among the PDCCH of the accidental access response that carries among the PDCCH of described RA-RNTI scrambling corresponding to described RA-RNTI scrambling.For example, UE has sent exclusive preamble sequence in sub-district 2 and sub-district 3, the schedule information of sub-district 2 and sub-district 3 sends on sub-district 1, and then UE detects the PDCCH of RA-RNTI scrambling in the UE of sub-district 1 dedicated search space, therefrom obtains the TA of respective cell 1 and sub-district 2; Wherein, the accidental access response respective cell 2 of carrying among the PDCCH of UE detected a plurality of RA-RNTI scramblings on the sub-district still is sub-district 3, by the carrier wave indication territory indication of carrying among the PDCCH.
Need to prove, above-mentioned UE dedicated search space specifically refers to be used to transmit the sub-district of the dispatch of the described sub-district that has sent exclusive preamble sequence, has sent the part search volume of the sub-district of exclusive preamble sequence in the dedicated search space of described UE corresponding to this.
