Description
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of communications, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for random access in the field of communications.
Background
In a Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution, abbreviated as "LTE") system, a carrier bandwidth of a cell may be 20MHz, 15MHz, 10MHz, 5MHz, or 1.4MHz, and a common type of terminal device accesses the cell, and then a working bandwidth allocated to the cell by a network device is the carrier bandwidth of the cell, that is, a system bandwidth. In a fifth generation communication system (5th-generation, abbreviated as "5G"), the carrier bandwidth of a cell may be large, e.g., hundreds of megahertz or even gigahertz. For most terminal devices, the capability of the terminal devices cannot support the full carrier bandwidth, and the working bandwidth supported by the terminal devices may be much smaller than the carrier bandwidth.
In the existing schemes, when a terminal device performs initial access, a network device allocates an initial access bandwidth to the terminal device, and after the terminal device completes the initial access, the network device reports its own capability to the network device, and the network device reconfigures a working bandwidth to the network device according to the capability of the terminal device, system load and other conditions, and subsequent service transmission related to the terminal device can be performed on the working bandwidth until the network device notifies the terminal device to change the working bandwidth. Such a method causes the terminal device to be excessively crowded in the initial access bandwidth, which is not favorable for balancing loads on different bandwidths of the system, and the network device needs to notify the terminal device of the new operating bandwidth through additional signaling, which results in high signaling overhead.

The following describes a random access procedure according to an embodiment of the present application.
The random access is a necessary process for establishing a wireless link between the terminal device and the network device, and the terminal device and the network device acquire uplink synchronization through the random access. Only after the random access procedure is completed, the network device and the terminal device may perform conventional data transmission and reception. The terminal device can implement two basic functions through a random access process:
(1) acquiring uplink synchronization with the network equipment;
(2) and applying for uplink resources.
The random access procedure may be divided into contention random access and non-contention random access. In the competitive random access process, the terminal device randomly selects the random access preamble sequence, which may cause multiple terminal devices to use the same random access preamble sequence to cause random access collision, and therefore, a subsequent random access contention resolution procedure needs to be added. In the non-competitive random access process, the network equipment allocates a unique random access leader sequence to each terminal equipment needing random access, thereby avoiding the conflict generated in the access process of different terminal equipments and rapidly completing the random access.
When the terminal equipment performs initial access, the network equipment allocates initial access bandwidth for the terminal equipment, after the terminal equipment completes the initial access, the network equipment reports the self capacity to the network equipment, the network equipment reconfigures a working bandwidth for the network equipment according to the capacity of the terminal equipment, system load and other conditions, and subsequent service transmission related to the terminal equipment can be performed on the working bandwidth until the network equipment informs the terminal equipment to change the working bandwidth. Such a method requires the network device to notify the terminal device of the new operating bandwidth through additional signaling, which results in a large signaling overhead. In addition, if a plurality of terminal devices access the network device at the same time, the terminal devices in the initial access bandwidth may be excessively congested, which is not favorable for balancing loads on different bandwidths of the system.
Fig. 2 shows a schematic flow chart of a method 200 for random access provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the method 200 includes:
s210, the terminal equipment determines a target random access resource from at least one candidate random access resource according to the bandwidth which can be supported by the terminal equipment;
s220, the terminal equipment adopts the target random access resource to send a random access signal to network equipment.
Specifically, before the terminal device performs random access, the terminal device may determine a bandwidth that can be supported by the terminal device according to its own capability, then select a target random access resource from at least one candidate random access resource according to the bandwidth that can be supported by the terminal device, and send a random access signal to the network device using the target random access resource.
It should be understood that the at least one candidate random access resource corresponds to at least one bandwidth, and a specific corresponding manner may be one-to-one, or may be many-to-one, that is, one candidate random access resource corresponds to one bandwidth, or multiple candidate random access resources (i.e., a group of candidate random access resources) correspond to one bandwidth, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. Under the condition that a group of candidate random access resources corresponds to a bandwidth, the terminal equipment needs to determine a group of candidate random access resources first, and then selects any candidate random access resource from the group of candidate random access resources to send a random access signal.
It should also be understood that the correspondence between the at least one candidate random access resource and the at least one bandwidth may be a protocol advance appointment, or may be notified to the terminal device by the network device through system information, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.
According to the method for random access in the embodiment of the application, the terminal equipment selects the target random access resource from at least one candidate random access resource to send the random access signal to the network equipment according to the bandwidth which can be supported by the terminal equipment, so that the network equipment can allocate the working bandwidth which is matched with the capability of the terminal equipment to the terminal equipment according to the bandwidth corresponding to the target random access resource, the network equipment can directly adopt the working bandwidth of the terminal equipment to send the random access response to the terminal equipment, the working bandwidth of the terminal equipment is prevented from being adjusted through extra signaling after random access between the terminal equipment and the network equipment, the signaling cost can be saved, meanwhile, the terminal equipment is shunted on different frequency domains during random access, and the user experience is improved.
Fig. 3 shows a schematic flow chart of another method 300 for random access provided by the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, the method 300 includes:
s310, a network device receives a random access signal sent by a terminal device by adopting a target random access resource in at least one candidate random access resource, wherein the at least one candidate random access resource corresponds to at least one bandwidth;
s320, the network device determines a bandwidth corresponding to the target random access resource as a working bandwidth of the terminal device.
Optionally, after the network device determines a bandwidth corresponding to the target random access resource as an operating bandwidth of the terminal device, the method further includes: and the network equipment sends a random access response to the terminal equipment on the working bandwidth corresponding to the target random access resource according to the random access signal.
Specifically, after the terminal device sends a random access signal to the network device by using the target random access resource, the network device receives the random access signal, determines a working bandwidth corresponding to the target random access resource as a working bandwidth of the terminal device according to the target random access resource used by the terminal device, and may also send the random access signal to the terminal device over the working bandwidth.
It should be understood that the at least one candidate random access resource corresponds to at least one bandwidth, and a specific corresponding manner may be one-to-one, or may be many-to-one, that is, one candidate random access resource corresponds to one bandwidth, or multiple candidate random access resources (i.e., a group of candidate random access resources) correspond to one bandwidth, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. Under the condition that a group of candidate random access resources corresponds to a bandwidth, the terminal equipment needs to determine a group of candidate random access resources first, and then selects any candidate random access resource from the group of candidate random access resources to send a random access signal.
It should also be understood that the correspondence between the at least one candidate random access resource and the at least one bandwidth may be a protocol advance appointment, or may be notified to the terminal device by the network device through system information, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.
According to the method for random access in the embodiment of the application, the terminal equipment selects the target random access resource from at least one candidate random access resource to send the random access signal to the network equipment according to the bandwidth which can be supported by the terminal equipment, so that the network equipment can allocate the working bandwidth which is matched with the capability of the terminal equipment to the terminal equipment according to the bandwidth corresponding to the target random access resource, the network equipment can directly adopt the working bandwidth of the terminal equipment to send the random access response to the terminal equipment, the working bandwidth of the terminal equipment is prevented from being adjusted through extra signaling after random access between the terminal equipment and the network equipment, the signaling cost can be saved, meanwhile, the terminal equipment is shunted on different frequency domains during random access, and the user experience is improved.
As an optional embodiment, at least one of the following information of each of the at least one candidate random access resource is different from each other:
time domain resources, frequency domain resources, and preamble sequences.
Specifically, each of the at least one candidate random access resource may include at least one of a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, and a preamble sequence, and at least one of the time domain resource, the frequency domain resource, and the preamble sequence of each of the at least one candidate random access resource are different from each other.
It should be understood that, in a case that one candidate random access resource corresponds to one bandwidth, at least one of a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, and a preamble sequence corresponding to each candidate random access resource is different from each other, and in a case that one group of candidate random access resources corresponds to one bandwidth, at least one of a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, and a preamble sequence corresponding to each group of candidate random access resources is different from each other, so that the terminal device and the network device may determine the corresponding bandwidth according to the candidate random access resources, or determine the corresponding candidate random access resources or the group of candidate random access resources according to the bandwidth.
In a possible implementation manner, a system bandwidth of a cell may be divided into a plurality of different blocks, where one Block may be one Physical Resource Block (PRB) or a plurality of PRBs. For example, the system bandwidth is divided into 6 blocks, B0, B1, B2, B3, B4, and B5, each block being 20MHz, wherein the synchronization channel is located at block 4B 3. In this case, the correspondence between the at least one candidate random access resource and the at least one bandwidth may specifically be the following six cases:
1. the first group of candidate random access resources is located at B3, and the working bandwidth supported by the terminal equipment which adopts any resource in the first group of candidate random access resources to carry out random access is B3;
2. the second group of candidate random access resources are located at B2, and the working bandwidth supported by the terminal equipment which adopts any resource in the second group of candidate random access resources for random access is B2+ B3;
3. the third group of candidate random access resources is located at B4, and the working bandwidth supported by the terminal device which performs random access by using any resource in the third group of candidate random access resources is B2+ B3+ B4;
4. the fourth group of candidate random access resources is located at B5, and the working bandwidth supported by the terminal device which performs random access by using any resource in the fourth group of candidate random access resources is B2+ B3+ B4+ B5;
5. the fifth group of candidate random access resources is located at B1, and the working bandwidth supported by the terminal device which performs random access by using any resource in the fifth group of candidate random access resources is B1+ B2+ B3+ B4+ B5;
6. the sixth group of candidate random access resources is located at B0, and the working bandwidth supported by the terminal device that performs random access by using any resource in the sixth group of candidate random access resources is B0+ B1+ B2+ B3+ B4+ B5.
It should be understood that the above implementation is only the case that the frequency domain resources of the at least one candidate random access resource are different from each other. When the frequency domain resources of at least one candidate random access resource are the same, the time domain resources and/or preamble sequences of each candidate random access resource in the at least one candidate random access resource are different from each other, as long as there is no intersection between the candidate random access resources corresponding to the six groups, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
It should also be understood that, in the case that the candidate random access resources are frequency domain resources, each set of candidate random access resources must be within the working bandwidth corresponding to the set of candidate random access resources, for example, the second set of candidate random access resources must be allocated at a certain position in B2+ B3, and cannot be allocated at other positions.
As an optional embodiment, the determining, by the terminal device, a target random access resource from at least one candidate random access resource according to a bandwidth that can be supported by the terminal device includes:
