The present disclosure relates to a terminal device enhancing random access, an access network device enhancing random access, and a communication system. The terminal equipment for enhancing the random access, the access network equipment for enhancing the random access and the communication system can enable the access network equipment to acquire the distance information of the terminal equipment as soon as possible and allocate corresponding resources based on the distance information. Therefore, the success rate of the Random access of the terminal equipment can be improved, and resources after the Random access channel (Random ACCESS CHANNEL, RACH) is collided are increased. The communication system to which the present disclosure relates may include a terminal device that enhances random access and an access network device that enhances random access. The present disclosure is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the application scenario described in the examples of the present disclosure is for more clearly explaining the technical solution of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution provided by the present disclosure.
The present disclosure relates to a terminal device enhancing random access, an access network device enhancing random access and a communication system that can be used for random access of 5G.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of random access of a terminal device according to an example of the present disclosure. Fig. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a communication system to which examples of the present disclosure relate. In some examples, as shown in fig. 2, communication system 1 may include a terminal device 10 and an access network device 20. In some examples, as shown in fig. 1, the terminal device 10 and the access network device 20 may interact with each other by an enhanced random access method (described later) related to the present disclosure to synchronize the terminal device 10 with an uplink of the wireless communication network for uplink transmission. The enhanced random access method may be applied to the communication system 1.
In some examples, the terminal device 10 may be a smart phone, a notebook computer, a Personal computer (Personal Computer, PC), a Personal digital assistant (Personal DIGITAL ASSISTANT, PDA), a Mobile internet device (Mobile INTERNET DEVICE, MID), or other various types of electronic devices. In some examples, access network device 20 may be a base station. In some examples, the base station may be a base station in GSM or CDMA (BTS, base Transceiver Station), a base station in WCDMA (NodeB), or an evolved base station in LTE (NodeB or eNB or e-NodeB, evolutional Node B).
As described above, the communication system 1 may include the terminal device 10 and the access network device 20. Fig. 3 is a block diagram showing the terminal device 10 to which the example of the present disclosure relates. In some examples, as shown in fig. 3, the terminal device 10 may include a first transceiving unit 11 and a first processing unit 12. In some examples, the first transceiver unit 11 may be configured to receive messages sent by the access network device 20 and send messages to the access network device 20, and the first processing unit 12 may be configured to process messages sent by the access network device 20, i.e. the first processing unit 12 may be configured to process messages received by the first transceiver unit 11. Examples of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and in other examples, the terminal device 10 may include any one or more units capable of implementing the corresponding functions of the first transceiver unit 11 and the first processing unit 12.
In some examples, the first processing unit 12 may generate and send a first message (MSG 1) to the first transceiving unit 11, and the first transceiving unit 11 may send the first message to the access network device 20. In some examples, the first message may include a Preamble sequence (Preamble).
In some examples, if access network device 20 receives the first message and generates a plurality of second messages (MSG 2), first transceiver unit 11 may transmit the received plurality of second messages from access network device 20 to first processing unit 12.
Additionally, in some examples, the second message may be a RAR (Random Access Response ) message scheduled by downlink control information (Download Control Information, DCI) such as DCI 1-0. In some examples, access network device 20 may utilize reserved bits of downlink control information to transmit distance information. Thereby, compatibility can be maintained.
In addition, in some examples, access network device 20 may pre-generate a plurality of transmission resources and configure distance information for each transmission resource, i.e., the plurality of transmission resources are configured with distance information. In some examples, the transmission resources may be in one-to-one correspondence with the distance information. In some examples, the terminal device 10 may transmit a third message (described later) using the transmission resource.
In addition, in some examples, distance intervals corresponding to respective transmission resources may be acquired based on the distance information. In some examples, the distance may be represented by a path loss. In this case, a lower path loss limit and an upper path loss limit may be obtained based on the distance information, and the distance section (may also be referred to as a path loss range) may be a section corresponding to the lower path loss limit and the upper path loss limit. Thus, the range of the path loss corresponding to the transmission resource can be determined by the distance information. In some examples, the distance information may include a lower path loss bound and an upper path loss bound. In some examples, if the lower path loss bound and the upper path loss bound are both 0, it may indicate that access network device 20 is not performing enhanced random access processing. In other examples, the distance information may include a path loss start value and a path loss length.
In addition, in some examples, the plurality of second messages may be generated based on the plurality of transmission resources and the first message, and each of the second messages may include distance information and resource allocation information corresponding to each of the transmission resources. In some examples, each second message may correspond to each transmission resource, respectively, i.e., the second messages may correspond to the transmission resources one-to-one. Thus, a plurality of second messages each corresponding to a different transmission resource and including distance information can be generated. In this case, a plurality of second messages are generated based on the first message to provide a plurality of transmission resources. Thereby, resources after collision of the Random access channel (Random ACCESS CHANNEL, RACH) can be increased.
In some examples, the resource allocation information may include a modulation and coding scheme (Modulation Coding Scheme, MCS), a time domain allocation, and a frequency domain allocation. In some examples, the resource allocation information may also include downlink power bursts, which may be used for messaging by the access network device 20 to the terminal device 10, or transmit power adjustments, which may be used for messaging by the terminal device 10 to the access network device 20. In some examples, the second message may include an uplink scheduling grant (UL grant) that may include resource allocation information for indicating one transmission resource.
In some examples, the first processing unit 12 may calculate the target route loss and select, as the target second message, a second message satisfying a preset requirement from the plurality of second messages based on the target route loss. In some examples, the first processing unit 12 may generate and send a third message (MSG 3) to the first transceiving unit 11. In some examples, the first transceiver unit 11 may send the third message to the access network device 20 according to the resource allocation information in the second message of the target. In this case, the subsequent access network device 20 may obtain the distance information of the terminal device 10 based on the transmission resources used by the terminal device 10 to transmit the third message.
In addition, in some examples, the target path loss may be obtained based on the reference signal transmit power of access network device 20 and the reference signal receive power of terminal device 10. Thereby, the target route loss can be obtained to select the second message based on the target route loss. In some examples, the target path loss may be a difference between the reference signal transmit power of access network device 20 and the reference signal receive power of terminal device 10. In addition, in some examples, the reference signal transmit power may be transmitted by the base station to the terminal device 10 through system information (System information block, SIB). In addition, in some examples, the reference signal received power may be obtained by measurement by the terminal device 10. In addition, in some examples, the preset requirement may be that the target path loss is within a path loss range corresponding to the distance information of the second message. It should be noted here that in other examples, there may be a second message sent by the access network device in the old version, where no distance information is present in the second message. In this case, the first processing unit 12 may send a third message to the old version of the access network device based on the second message.
Specifically, the first processing unit 12 may obtain the second message in response to the first message and determine whether there is distance information, such as a lower path loss boundary and an upper path loss boundary, in the second message, if so, determine whether the target path loss is within the path loss range corresponding to the distance information, if so, generate the third message and send the third message through the corresponding sending resource obtained by the first transceiver unit 11 according to the resource allocation information in the second message, and if not, continue to monitor. In some examples, if distance information does not exist in the second message, a third message is sent according to the resource allocation information in the second message. Thus, the access network device of the old version can be compatible.
In some examples, if access network device 20 receives the third message and generates a fourth message (MSG 4), and then sends the fourth message, first transceiver unit 11 may transmit the fourth message received from access network device 20 to first processing unit 12. In some examples, access network device 20 may send the fourth message according to distance information corresponding to the transmission resource that matches the third message. In some examples, the transmission resource that matches the third message may be a transmission resource used by the terminal device 10 to transmit the third message. In this case, the distance information of the terminal device 10 can be obtained through the transmission resource that transmits the third message, thereby determining the distance of the terminal device 10 as early as possible. Thereby, the appropriate resource can be selected to transmit the fourth message. In some examples, the fourth message may be scheduled by downlink control information, e.g., DCI 1-0.
In addition, in some examples, access network device 20 may obtain a corresponding resource selection policy based on the target distance information of terminal device 10 and send a fourth message based on the resource selection policy. In some examples, the resource selection policy may be configured with resource allocation information. In some examples, the resource allocation information of the resource selection policy may include at least one of a modulation and coding policy, a time domain allocation, and a frequency domain allocation. In this case, the fourth message can be transmitted based on the distance information of the terminal device 10. Thereby, the success rate of the terminal device 10 receiving the fourth message can be improved. In some examples, the distance of the terminal device 10 may be inversely related to the interference corresponding to the time domain allocation and the interference corresponding to the frequency domain allocation. That is, the farther the terminal device 10 is, the smaller the interference corresponding to the time domain and the frequency domain allocated by the access network device 20. In some examples, the distance of the terminal device 10 may be inversely related to the modulation and coding strategy. I.e. the farther away the terminal device 10 is, the smaller the modulation and coding strategy employed.
Additionally, in some examples, if access network device 20 sends the fourth message based on a resource selection policy, the resource selection policy may also include a downlink power burst (burst). That is, the access network device 20 transmits the fourth message with higher downlink power at the designated transmission resource. Thereby, the success rate of the terminal device 10 receiving the fourth message can be further improved. In some examples, the distance of the terminal device 10 may be positively correlated with the downlink power burst. I.e. the further away the terminal device 10 is, the higher the downlink power burst is.
In addition, in some examples, the distance information corresponding to the transmission resource that matches the third message may be regarded as the target distance information of the terminal device 10. In some examples, access network device 20 may store target distance information for terminal device 10. Thus, it is possible to facilitate the subsequent access network device 20 to employ different resource allocation policies based on the target distance information. Additionally, in some examples, the fourth message may include an interference resolution ID for feeding back dispute resolution information. In some examples, the third message may be used as an interference resolution ID.
In some examples, the first processing unit 12 may determine whether the interference solution ID in the fourth message is equal to the third message, and if several interference solution IDs are equal to the third message, the first processing unit 12 may generate and send an acknowledgement message (ACK) to the first transceiver unit 11, and the first transceiver unit 11 sends the acknowledgement message to the access network device 20.
In some examples, if access network device 20 receives the acknowledgement message and allocates resources for receiving the fifth message (MSG 5) and then transmits the resource allocation message, first transceiving unit 11 may transmit the received resource allocation message from access network device 20 to first processing unit 12. In this case, the terminal device 10 can obtain the resource allocation message to indicate the resource for transmitting the fifth message (corresponding to the resource for receiving the fifth message for the access network device 20). In some examples, after receiving the acknowledgement message, access network device 20 may allocate resources for receiving the fifth message according to the target distance information of terminal device 10. Thereby, the success rate of the access network device 20 to receive the fifth message can be increased. In some examples, if access network device 20 does not receive the fifth message, resources for receiving the fifth message may be reallocated and a new resource allocation message may be sent according to the target distance information of terminal device 10.
In addition, in some examples, access network device 20 may obtain a corresponding resource selection policy based on the target distance information of terminal device 10 and allocate resources for receiving the fifth message based on the resource selection policy. Thereby, the success rate of the access network device 20 receiving the fifth message can be improved. In some examples, the resource selection policy may further include a transmit power adjustment if resources to receive the fifth message are allocated based on the resource selection policy. Thereby, the success rate of the access network device 20 receiving the fifth message can be further improved. In some examples, the distance of the terminal device 10 may be positively correlated with the transmit power adjustment. That is, the farther the terminal device 10 is, the greater the transmission power adjustment is.
In some examples, the first processing unit 12 may generate and send a fifth message to the first transceiver unit 11, and the first transceiver unit 11 may send the fifth message to the access network device 20 to enable random access. In some examples, the fifth message may be scheduled by downlink control information, e.g., DCI 1-0.
The terminal equipment 10 of the present disclosure can enable the access network equipment 20 to obtain the distance information of the terminal equipment 10 as early as possible and allocate corresponding resources based on the distance information. Thereby, the success rate of the random access of the terminal device 10 can be improved, in particular, the success rate of the random access of the edge terminal device 10 is enhanced, and the resources after the collision of the random access channel are increased.
Fig. 4 is a block diagram illustrating an access network device 20 to which examples of the present disclosure relate. In some examples, as shown in fig. 4, the access network device 20 may include a second transceiver unit 21 and a second processing unit 22. In some examples, the second transceiver unit 21 may be configured to receive a message sent by the terminal device 10 and send the message to the terminal device 10, and the second processing unit 22 may be configured to process the message sent by the terminal device 10, that is, the second processing unit 22 may be configured to process the message received by the second transceiver unit 21. Examples of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and in other examples, the access network device 20 may include any one or more units capable of implementing the corresponding functions of the second transceiver unit 21 and the second processing unit 22.
In some examples, the second transceiving unit 21 may receive the first message from the terminal device 10 and send the first message to the second processing unit 22. In some examples, the second processing unit 22 may generate and send a plurality of second messages to the second transceiving unit 21, and the second transceiving unit 21 may send the second messages to the terminal device 10. In some examples, the first message may include a Preamble sequence (Preamble).
In addition, in some examples, the second processing unit 22 may generate a plurality of transmission resources in advance and configure distance information of the respective transmission resources, that is, the plurality of transmission resources are configured with the distance information. In some examples, the second processing unit 22 may generate second messages respectively corresponding to the respective transmission resources based on the plurality of transmission resources and the first messages, and the respective second messages may include distance information and resource allocation information corresponding to the respective transmission resources. In addition, in some examples, distance intervals corresponding to respective transmission resources may be acquired based on the distance information. In some examples, the distance may be represented by a path loss. In this case, a lower path loss limit and an upper path loss limit may be obtained based on the distance information, and the distance section (may also be referred to as a path loss range) may be a section corresponding to the lower path loss limit and the upper path loss limit. Thus, the range of the path loss corresponding to the transmission resource can be determined by the distance information. The related description may refer to the description of the access network device 20 involved in the terminal device 10 to generate and transmit the second message and the transmission resources described above.
Additionally, in some examples, the second message may be a RAR (Random Access Response ) message scheduled by downlink control information (Download Control Information, DCI) such as DCI 1-0. In some examples, the second transceiving unit 21 may transmit the distance information using reserved bits of the downlink control information. Thereby, compatibility can be maintained.
In some examples, if the terminal device 10 calculates the target path loss and selects a second message satisfying the preset requirement as a target second message from the plurality of second messages based on the target path loss, and then generates a third message and transmits the third message, the second transceiving unit 21 may transmit the received third message from the terminal device 10 to the second processing unit 22. In some examples, the terminal device 10 may send the third message according to the resource allocation information in the second message of the target. In this case, the subsequent access network device 20 may obtain the distance information of the terminal device 10 based on the transmission resource used for transmitting the third message. In addition, in some examples, the target path loss may be obtained based on the reference signal transmit power of access network device 20 and the reference signal receive power of terminal device 10. Thereby, the target route loss can be obtained to select the second message based on the target route loss. In addition, in some examples, the preset requirement may be that the target path loss is within a path loss range corresponding to the distance information of the second message. The related description may refer to the description of the generation and transmission of the third message referred to in the above description of the terminal device 10.
In some examples, the second processing unit 22 may generate and send a fourth message to the second transceiving unit 21, and the second transceiving unit 21 may send the fourth message to the terminal device 10. In some examples, the second transceiving unit 21 may transmit the fourth message to the terminal device 10 according to distance information corresponding to transmission resources matched to the third message. Thus, the distance of the terminal device 10 can be determined as early as possible. In some examples, the second transceiving unit 21 may take the distance information as target distance information of the terminal device 10. In some examples, the fourth message may be scheduled by downlink control information, e.g., DCI 1-0. The related description may refer to the description of the generation and transmission of the fourth message involved in the above description of the terminal device 10.
In addition, in some examples, the second processing unit 22 may obtain a corresponding resource selection policy based on the target distance information of the terminal device 10 and send a fourth message based on the resource selection policy. In some examples, the resource selection policy may be configured with resource allocation information. In some examples, the resource allocation information of the resource selection policy may include at least one of a modulation and coding policy, a time domain allocation, and a frequency domain allocation. In this case, the fourth message can be transmitted based on the distance information of the terminal device 10. Thereby, the success rate of the terminal device 10 receiving the fourth message can be improved. Additionally, in some examples, the resource selection policy may also include a downlink power burst (burst) if the second processing unit 22 sends the fourth message based on the resource selection policy. That is, the second processing unit 22 transmits the fourth message with higher downlink power at the designated transmission resource. Thereby, the success rate of the terminal device 10 receiving the fourth message can be further improved. The relevant description may refer to the description above in the terminal device 10 concerning the resource selection policy.
In some examples, if the terminal device 10 determines whether the interference solution ID in the fourth message is equal to the third message, and generates an acknowledgement message and transmits the acknowledgement message in case the interference solution ID is equal to the third message, the second transceiving unit 21 may receive the acknowledgement message from the terminal device 10 and transmit the acknowledgement message to the second processing unit 22. The relevant description may refer to the description of the generation and transmission of acknowledgement messages involved in the above description of the terminal device 10.
In some examples, the second processing unit 22 may allocate resources for receiving the fifth message and transmit a resource allocation message to the second transceiving unit 21. In some examples, the second transceiving unit 21 may send a resource allocation message to the terminal device 10. That is, resources for receiving the fifth message are allocated and the terminal device 10 is notified. Thereby, the terminal device 10 can obtain the resource allocation message. In some examples, the resource allocation message includes resource allocation information for transmission resources used to transmit the fifth message. In some examples, the resource allocation message may be scheduled by the downlink control information.
In some examples, the second processing unit 22 may allocate resources for receiving the fifth message according to the target distance information of the terminal device 10. Thereby, the success rate of the access network device 20 to receive the fifth message can be increased. In addition, in some examples, access network device 20 may obtain a corresponding resource selection policy based on the target distance information of terminal device 10 and allocate resources for receiving the fifth message based on the resource selection policy. Thereby, the success rate of the access network device 20 receiving the fifth message can be improved. In some examples, the resource selection policy may further include a transmit power adjustment if resources to receive the fifth message are allocated based on the resource selection policy. Thereby, the success rate of the access network device 20 receiving the fifth message can be further improved. The related description may refer to the description of generating and transmitting the resource allocation message referred to in the above description of the terminal device 10.
In some examples, if the terminal device 10 generates the fifth message and transmits the fifth message, the second transceiving unit 21 may receive the fifth message from the terminal device 10 to enable random access of the terminal device 10. In some examples, the fifth message may be scheduled by downlink control information, e.g., DCI 1-0.
The access network device 20 using the present disclosure can obtain the distance information of the terminal device 10 as early as possible and allocate corresponding resources based on the distance information. Thereby, the success rate of the random access of the terminal device 10 can be improved, in particular, the success rate of the random access of the edge terminal device 10 is enhanced, and the resources after the collision of the random access channel are increased.
As described above, the interaction between a terminal device 10 and an access network device 20 may be performed by an enhanced random access method, and specific steps may be specifically described with reference to fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a flow chart illustrating an enhanced random access method in accordance with examples of the present disclosure. Fig. 6 is an interaction diagram illustrating an enhanced random access method according to an example of the present disclosure.
In some examples, as shown in fig. 5, the enhanced random access method may include the terminal device 10 transmitting a first message (step S100). In step S100, the terminal device 10 may generate a first message and transmit the first message. The relevant description may refer to the description of the generation and transmission of the first message referred to in the above description of the terminal device 10.
In some examples, as shown in fig. 5, the enhanced random access method may include the access network device 20 generating a plurality of second messages including different resource information and transmitting the second messages (step S110). In step S110, access network device 20 may receive the first message and generate a plurality of second messages. In some examples, access network device 20 may pre-generate a plurality of transmission resources and configure distance information for each transmission resource. In some examples, access network device 20 may generate a plurality of second messages respectively corresponding to respective transmission resources based on the plurality of transmission resources and the first message, and each of the second messages may include distance information and resource allocation information corresponding to each transmission resource. The related description may refer to the description of the access network device 20 involved in the terminal device 10 to generate and transmit the second message and the transmission resources described above.
In some examples, as shown in fig. 5, the enhanced random access method may include the terminal device 10 selecting a target second message from the plurality of second messages and transmitting a third message based on the target second message (step S120). In step S120, the terminal device 10 may calculate the target route loss and select a second message satisfying a preset requirement as a target second message from the plurality of second messages based on the target route loss, and then the terminal device 10 generates a third message and transmits the third message. In some examples, the terminal device 10 may send the third message according to the resource allocation information in the second message of the target. In some examples, the preset requirement may be that the target path loss is within a path loss range corresponding to the distance information of the second message. The related description may refer to the description of the generation and transmission of the third message referred to in the above description of the terminal device 10.
In some examples, as shown in fig. 5, the enhanced random access method may include the access network device 20 obtaining distance information of the terminal device 10 from the third message and transmitting a fourth message based on the distance information (step S130). In step S130, access network device 20 may receive the third message and generate a fourth message, which in some examples, access network device 20 may transmit according to distance information corresponding to the transmission resources that match the third message. In some examples, access network device 20 may use distance information corresponding to the transmission resource that matches the third message as the target distance information for terminal device 10. The related description may refer to the description of the generation and transmission of the fourth message involved in the above description of the terminal device 10.
In some examples, as shown in fig. 5, the enhanced random access method may include the terminal device 10 judging the interference resolution ID and transmitting an acknowledgement message (step S140). In step S140, the terminal device 10 may determine whether the interference solution ID in the fourth message is equal to the third message, and in the case where the interference solution ID is equal to the third message, generate an acknowledgement message and transmit the acknowledgement message. The relevant description may refer to the description of the generation and transmission of acknowledgement messages involved in the above description of the terminal device 10.
In some examples, as shown in fig. 5, the enhanced random access method may include the access network device 20 allocating resources for receiving the fifth message according to the distance information corresponding to the terminal device 10 and transmitting the resource allocation message (step S150). As described above, the access network device 20 may regard distance information corresponding to the transmission resource matched with the third message as target distance information of the terminal device 10, and in step S150, the access network device 20 may receive the acknowledgement message and allocate a resource for receiving the fifth message, and then transmit the resource allocation message. In some examples, access network device 20 may allocate resources for receiving the fifth message according to the target distance information of terminal device 10. The related description may refer to the description of generating and transmitting the resource allocation message referred to in the above description of the terminal device 10.
In some examples, as shown in fig. 5, the enhanced random access method may include the terminal device 10 transmitting a fifth message to enable random access (step S160). In step S160, the terminal device 10 may generate a fifth message and transmit the fifth message to enable random access of the terminal device 10.

In the present disclosure, the access network device 20 is enabled to obtain the distance information of the terminal device 10 as early as possible and allocate corresponding resources based on the distance information by the enhanced random access method as referred to above. Thereby, the success rate of the random access of the terminal device 10 can be improved, in particular, the success rate of the random access of the edge terminal device 10 is enhanced, and the resources after the collision of the random access channel are increased.
In the present disclosure, the enhanced random access method described above may be applied to, for example, the communication system 1 shown in fig. 1.
