在传统的长期演进(全称：Long Term Evolution，简称：LTE)通信技术中，用户终端或用户设备(全称：User Equipment，简称：UE)之间进行信令和数据的交互都需要经过各自所属的演进型基站(全称：evolved Node B，简称：eNB或者基站)。In the traditional Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication technology, the signaling and data interaction between the user terminal or the user equipment (the full name: User Equipment, UE for short) need to go through their respective Evolved Node B (referred to as: eNB or base station).

Data interaction between terminals does not need to be forwarded through the base station, and can be directly interacted between UEs. Direct interaction with the help of the network.

具体实施方式detailed description

下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图，对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本发明保护的范围。The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

LTE-D2D是第三代合作伙伴计划(全称：3rd Generation partnership project，简称3GPP)最新定义的基于LTE的终端直联通信技术，LTE-D2D通信技术是在现有的LTE***中增加D2D的应用，即用户直联通信和LTE通信会共存，如图1所示，终端1可向终端2和终端3发射用户直联通信数据进行用户直联通信，终端1也可与基站之间进行通信。其中，终端1发射通信数据、基站接收通信数据的过程称为上行通信；基站发射通信数据、终端1接收通信数据的过程称为下行通信；终端1作为数据发射方，与终端2和终端3进行的终端与终端之间的通信为用户直联通信。LTE-D2D is the latest LTE-based terminal direct communication technology defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). LTE-D2D communication technology is an application to add D2D to existing LTE systems. That is, the user direct communication and the LTE communication may coexist. As shown in FIG. 1 , the terminal 1 may transmit the user direct communication data to the terminal 2 and the terminal 3 for direct user connection. For communication, the terminal 1 can also communicate with the base station. The process in which the terminal 1 transmits the communication data and the base station receives the communication data is referred to as uplink communication; the process in which the base station transmits the communication data, and the terminal 1 receives the communication data is referred to as downlink communication; the terminal 1 serves as the data transmitting party, and performs the terminal 2 and the terminal 3 The communication between the terminal and the terminal is direct communication for the user.

用户直联通信有三种工作场景，分别是网络覆盖、无网络覆盖和部分网络覆盖，在网络覆盖的工作场景中，参与用户直联通信信的终端都在网络的覆盖范围内；在无网络覆盖的场景中，参与用户直联通信的终端都在网络的覆盖范围外；在部分网络覆盖的场景中，参与用户直联通信的一部分终端在网络的覆盖范围内，另一部分终端在网络的覆盖范围外。There are three working scenarios for user direct communication: network coverage, no network coverage, and partial network coverage. In the network coverage work scenario, the terminals participating in the user direct communication communication are within the coverage of the network; In the scenario, the terminals participating in the direct communication of the user are outside the coverage of the network; in the scenario of partial network coverage, part of the terminals participating in the direct communication of the user are within the coverage of the network, and the coverage of the other part is in the coverage of the network. outer.

通常通信双方需要先建立同步，将两个设备的频率和定时调整到同一个频率和时间。同步需要在通信的两个终端之间规定一个共同的同步参考，同步源是指提供同步参考的设备。在网络覆盖的工作场景中，现有技术将网络中的基站作为同步源，同步到基站的终端形成一个组。在无网络覆盖的工作场景中，现有技术中无网络覆盖的多个终端中的一个终端或者所有终端作为同步源，同步到某一个同步源的其他终端形成一个组。在部分网络覆盖的工作场景中，一部分终端在网络覆盖范围内，另一部分终端在网络覆盖范围外，网络覆盖内的终端发射同步信号，作为网络覆盖范围外的终端的同步参考。Usually, both parties need to establish synchronization to adjust the frequency and timing of the two devices to the same frequency and time. Synchronization requires a common synchronization reference between the two terminals communicating, and the synchronization source is the device that provides the synchronization reference. In the working scenario of network coverage, the prior art uses a base station in the network as a synchronization source, and a terminal synchronized to the base station forms a group. In a work scenario without network coverage, one terminal or all terminals of the multiple terminals without network coverage in the prior art are used as a synchronization source, and other terminals synchronized to a certain synchronization source form a group. In the working scenario of partial network coverage, some terminals are within the network coverage, and another part of the terminals are outside the network coverage. The terminals within the network coverage transmit synchronization signals as synchronization references of terminals outside the network coverage.

用户直联通信分为两种主要的应用模式/类型：D2D发现(discovery)和D2D通信(communication)。User direct communication is divided into two main application modes/types: D2D discovery and D2D communication.

D2D发现是指终端发送发现消息(discovery message)，而其他终端通过读取这个发现消息而获得该发射终端的信息，例如：其中包括该终端的身份信息(identity标识)等。The D2D discovery means that the terminal sends a discovery message, and the other terminal obtains the information of the transmitting terminal by reading the discovery message, for example, including the identity information (identity identifier) of the terminal.

D2D通信是指终端发送调度分配(Scheduling Assignment，SA)信息和数据，而其他终端通过读取SA信息得到后续的数据的发射格式等信息，从而正确接收后续的数据信息。SA信息与其调度的数据发射格式和采用资源等可以一并由基站调度(即D2D通信模式一，mode1)，也可以由发射终端在基站配置的资源池内自行选择资源(即D2D通信模式二，mode2)。所述资源池为一个通信术语，即指一组通信资源是多个通信资源组成的一个集合。The D2D communication means that the terminal sends the Scheduling Assignment (SA) information and data, and the other terminals obtain the information such as the transmission format of the subsequent data by reading the SA information, so as to correctly receive the subsequent data information. The SA information and its scheduled data transmission format and resource usage may be scheduled by the base station (ie, D2D communication mode 1, mode1), or the transmitting terminal may select resources in the resource pool configured by the base station (ie, D2D communication mode 2, mode2). ). The resource pool is a communication term, that is, a set of communication resources is a set of multiple communication resources.

目前D2D通信可以在上述三种场景使用，而D2D发现仅涉及网络覆盖的工作场景。但本方案并不限制D2D类型与其对应的工作场景。 Currently, D2D communication can be used in the above three scenarios, and D2D discovery only involves working scenarios of network coverage. However, this solution does not limit the D2D type and its corresponding work scenario.

在网络覆盖内的终端发射同步信号，如D2DSS(Device to Device Synchronization Signal，用户直联通信同步信号)和/或PD2DSCH(Physical Device to Device Synchronization Channel，物理用户直联通信同步信道)，使得部分网络覆盖的工作场景中的在网络覆盖范围外的终端可以捕获到同步信号，进而与在网络覆盖范围内的终端建立同步并进行用户直联通信(D2D发现和/或D2D通信)；同样也可以使得在网络覆盖的工作场景、且小区间异步时不同小区(inter-cell)的终端可以检测并接收到同步信号，进而可以正确的接收邻小区的终端发送的用户直联通信信息(D2D发现消息和/或D2D通信信息)。The terminal in the network coverage transmits a synchronization signal, such as a D2DSS (Device to Device Synchronization Signal) and/or a PD2DSCH (Physical Device to Device Synchronization Channel), so that part of the network The terminal outside the coverage of the network in the covered working scenario can capture the synchronization signal, thereby establishing synchronization with the terminal within the coverage of the network and performing user direct communication (D2D discovery and/or D2D communication); In the working scenario of the network coverage and the inter-cell asynchronous, the inter-cell terminal can detect and receive the synchronization signal, and can correctly receive the user direct communication information (D2D discovery message and the message sent by the terminal of the neighboring cell). / or D2D communication information).

本发明实施例提供的技术方案可以应用于上述部分网络覆盖的工作场景中和在网络覆盖场景跨小区的D2D通信或者D2D发现的情况，比如小区间是异步的情况。The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to the working scenario of the partial network coverage and the D2D communication or the D2D discovery of the network coverage scenario across the cell, such as the case where the cells are asynchronous.

位于网络覆盖范围内终端发射同步信号，需要获取同步的终端通过搜索捕获同步信号，如异步邻小区的终端，或者部分网络覆盖的工作场景中的网络覆盖外的终端。The terminal transmits a synchronization signal in the network coverage area, and the terminal that needs to obtain synchronization captures the synchronization signal through searching, such as the terminal of the asynchronous neighboring cell, or the terminal outside the network coverage in the working scene covered by part of the network.

在部分网络覆盖的场景中，进行用户直联通信(D2D通信和/或D2D发现)的终端有一部分在网络覆盖范围内，另一部分终端在网络覆盖范围外，以下以用户直联通信中的D2D通信为例进行说明。位于网络覆盖范围内D2D通信第一终端发射D2D通信对应的同步信号，其同步参考来源于其服务小区，网络覆盖范围外的D2D通信的第二终端检测并接收到D2D通信对应的同步信号，间接同步到网络，然后依据PD2DSCH获得网络对于D2D通信的***配置信息，D2D帧号(D2D frame number)等信息，然后网络覆盖范围外的第二终端依据网络对于D2D通信的配置与网络覆盖范围内的终端进行通信；同理，位于网络覆盖范围内的第一终端发射同步信号，网络覆盖范围内处于异步邻小区的第二终端检测并接收同步信号，间接同步到发射被捕获到的同步信号的第一终端所在的小区，然后依据第一终端所在小区的D2D发现的配置信息(由第二终端所在小区下发和/或由PD2DSCH获得)，D2D帧号(D2D frame number)等信息，搜索D2D发现消息。In the scenario of partial network coverage, some of the terminals that perform user direct communication (D2D communication and/or D2D discovery) are within the network coverage, and another part of the terminals are outside the network coverage. The following is the D2D in the user direct communication. Communication is described as an example. The first terminal of the D2D communication in the network coverage transmits the synchronization signal corresponding to the D2D communication, and the synchronization reference is derived from the serving cell, and the second terminal of the D2D communication outside the network coverage detects and receives the synchronization signal corresponding to the D2D communication, indirectly Synchronizing to the network, and then obtaining system configuration information, D2D frame number, etc. of the network for D2D communication according to the PD2DSCH, and then the second terminal outside the network coverage is configured according to the network for the D2D communication and the network coverage. The terminal performs communication; similarly, the first terminal located in the network coverage transmits a synchronization signal, and the second terminal in the network coverage area detects and receives the synchronization signal in the asynchronous neighboring cell, and indirectly synchronizes to transmit the captured synchronization signal. The cell in which the terminal is located is then searched for D2D discovery according to the configuration information of the D2D discovery of the cell where the first terminal is located (distributed by the cell where the second terminal is located and/or obtained by the PD2DSCH), the D2D frame number, and the like. Message.

D2D通信和D2D发现可以是互相独立的，不互为前提，例如一个小区可以只存在进行D2D发现的终端，或者只存在进行D2D通信的终端。 D2D communication and D2D discovery may be independent of each other, and are not mutually premised. For example, a cell may have only terminals that perform D2D discovery, or only terminals that perform D2D communication.

D2D通信有两种定时，即下行定时和上行定时可以采用。下行定时是终端接收到服务基站的下行信号(例如，主同步信号Primary Synchroniazation Signal，辅同步信号Secondary Synchronization Signal，小区参考信号cell-specific reference signal)捕获的定时；上行定时是终端根据服务基站发送的定时调整(Timing Advance)信息调整后的定时。采用下行定时发射的D2D子帧(subframe)最后一个时间符号(单载波频分多址符号SC-FDMA，Single carrier frequency division multiplex access)停发作为间隔(gap)，而采用上行定时发送的D2D子帧没有gap。如果有的终端采用上行定时发送同步信号，有的终端采用下行定时发送同步信号，分别采用这两类定时的终端无法在同一个子帧发送同步信号，浪费***资源；类似的，接收终端无法通过D2DSS获得获知是上行定时还是下行定时，因此对于最后一个符号是否进行接收和解调存在2种可能性，需要盲检测，进而得出是采用何种定时发射的信息。而如果该D2D子帧只包括D2DSS信号，共4个时间符号，而剩余时间符号全部不发射信号，则终端完全无法获知该D2DSS是按照何种定时发射，而定时信息是后续SA和数据或者D2D发现消息正确接收和解调的必要信息，该信息缺失导致后续D2D信号无法正确接收和解调。There are two kinds of timing for D2D communication, that is, downlink timing and uplink timing can be adopted. The downlink timing is the timing of the downlink signal received by the terminal (for example, the primary synchronization signal Primary Synchronization Signal, the secondary synchronization signal, the cell-specific reference signal); the uplink timing is sent by the terminal according to the serving base station. Timing Advance The timing after the information adjustment. The last time symbol (Single carrier frequency division multiplex access) of the D2D subframe using the downlink timing transmission is stopped as a gap, and the D2D sub-transmitted by the uplink timing is used. The frame has no gap. If some terminals use the uplink timing to send synchronization signals, some terminals use downlink timing to send synchronization signals. Terminals using these two types of timings cannot transmit synchronization signals in the same subframe, which wastes system resources. Similarly, the receiving terminal cannot pass D2DSS. Obtaining knowledge is whether it is uplink timing or downlink timing. Therefore, there are two possibilities for whether the last symbol is received and demodulated. Blind detection is required, and then information on which timing is used is obtained. If the D2D subframe only includes the D2DSS signal, a total of 4 time symbols, and all the remaining time symbols do not transmit signals, the terminal is completely unable to know at what timing the D2DSS is transmitted, and the timing information is subsequent SA and data or D2D. The necessary information for correct reception and demodulation of the message is found, and the missing information causes the subsequent D2D signal to be incorrectly received and demodulated.

本发明实施例提供一种发射、接收同步信号的方法及终端，用户直联通信的发射终端统一采用下行定时发射同步信号，使得接收终端可以根据接收到的同步信号准确确定发射终端的定时信息，从而正确的接收发射终端发送的用户直联通信信息。The embodiment of the invention provides a method for transmitting and receiving a synchronization signal and a terminal. The transmitting terminal of the direct communication of the user uniformly adopts a downlink timing transmission synchronization signal, so that the receiving terminal can accurately determine the timing information of the transmitting terminal according to the received synchronization signal. Thereby, the user direct communication information sent by the transmitting terminal is correctly received.

下面通过具体的实施例进行详细描述：The following is a detailed description through specific embodiments:
