Detailed Description
In order to solve the problem how a terminal performs random access in a secondary cell or multiple cells simultaneously in a carrier aggregation system, embodiments of the present invention provide a random access method in a carrier aggregation system corresponding to a terminal side and a random access processing method corresponding to a base station side.
Referring to fig. 5, a random access method in a carrier aggregation system provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
step 50: a terminal determines a random access preamble sequence to be sent on a cell which needs to perform random access on a current subframe and PRACH resources used for sending the random access preamble sequence; sending the random access preamble sequence to a base station through the PRACH resource on the cell;
step 51: the terminal determines RA-RNTI corresponding to the random access leader sequence sent on the cell according to the carrier identification information of the cell and the information of the PRACH resource used by the random access leader sequence sent on the cell, and detects the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI in the public search space of the main cell of the terminal;
step 52: and the terminal receives a PDSCH carrying a random access response corresponding to the random access preamble sequence sent on the cell according to the detected PDCCH, and performs uplink synchronization adjustment on the cell according to an uplink TA in the random access response.
Further, before the terminal determines a random access preamble sequence to be sent on a cell in which random access is required to be performed in a current subframe and a PRACH resource to be used for sending the random access preamble sequence in step 50, the terminal receives a dedicated random access preamble sequence number and a PRACH resource number, which are sent by a base station through a PDCCH order or a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, where the dedicated random access preamble sequence number is used to indicate a random access preamble sequence to be used by the cell in which random access is required, the PRACH resource number is used to indicate a PRACH resource to be used by the cell in which random access is required to be performed and to send the random access preamble sequence, and the PDCCH order or the RRC signaling is used to trigger non-contention random access of the terminal. In step 50, the terminal sends the random access leader sequence indicated by the special random access leader sequence number to the base station on the PRACH resource indicated by the PRACH resource number.
Specifically, the terminal may receive the PDCCH order in a secondary cell or a primary cell of the terminal; when the PDCCH command does not adopt cross-carrier scheduling, the PDCCH command received by the terminal correspondingly triggers the non-competitive random access of the cell in which the PDCCH command is transmitted; when the PDCCH command adopts cross-carrier scheduling, the PDCCH command received by the terminal correspondingly triggers the non-contention random access of the cell indicated by the carrier indication domain in the PDCCH command.
In step 51, the terminal may determine an RA-RNTI corresponding to the random access preamble sequence sent on the cell according to the following formula:
RA-RNTI + 1+ t _ id +10 f _ id +60 cell _ sign, wherein:
t _ id is the number of the first subframe corresponding to the PRACH resource, and t _ id is more than or equal to 0 and less than 10; f _ id is the number of PRACH resources in a subframe in the frequency domain, and f _ id is more than or equal to 0 and less than 6; the cell _ sign is the carrier identification information of the cell, the cell _ sign is more than or equal to 0 and less than N, and N is the maximum carrier number in the system.
Specifically, the carrier identification information is: a carrier number (cell _ index) maintained by the terminal, or a system-level number defined for the cell in the system (i.e., a unique number defined for the cell within the system), or a primary cell-level number defined for the cell in a cell set corresponding to the same primary cell (i.e., a unique number defined for the cell within the cell set corresponding to the primary cell of the terminal).
Preferably, when the random access procedure of the cell is non-contention random access, the carrier identification information may be a carrier number (cell _ index) maintained by the terminal, or a system-level number defined for the cell in the system, or a primary cell-level number defined for the cell in a cell set corresponding to the same primary cell; and when the random access process of the cell is competitive random access, the carrier identification information is a system-level number defined to the cell in a system.
When the carrier identification information is a carrier number maintained by the terminal, the terminal receives the PDSCH in the primary cell of the terminal in step 52. In other cases, the terminal receives the PDSCH in the primary cell of the terminal or the cell transmitting the random access preamble sequence, and specifically, which cell receives the PDSCH may be agreed in advance.
In the method, the cell is a secondary cell of the terminal, and may be a primary cell. In particular, when a plurality of cells are defined in the system as a group sharing one TA, the cell may also refer to one cell defined/configured in advance in a cell group sharing one TA.
Referring to fig. 6, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a random access processing method in a carrier aggregation system, including the following steps:
step 60: a base station receives a random access preamble sequence sent by a terminal on PRACH resources of a cell;
step 61: a base station determines RA-RNTI corresponding to a random access leader sequence received on a cell according to carrier identification information of the cell receiving the random access leader sequence and information of PRACH resources for transmitting the random access leader sequence on the cell, and transmits a PDCCH scrambled by using the RA-RNTI in a public search space of the set cell so as to schedule a terminal to receive a PDSCH carrying random access response corresponding to the random access leader sequence;
step 62: and the base station sends the PDSCH carrying the random access response to the terminal, wherein the random access response comprises an uplink TA.
Further, in step 60, before the base station receives the random access preamble sequence sent by the terminal on the PRACH resource of the cell, the base station may send a dedicated random access preamble sequence number and a PRACH resource number to the terminal through a PDCCH order or an RRC signaling, where the dedicated random access preamble sequence number is used to indicate a random access preamble sequence used by a cell that needs to perform random access, the PRACH resource number is used to indicate a PRACH resource used by the cell that sends the random access preamble sequence, and the PDCCH order or the RRC signaling is used to trigger non-contention random access of the terminal. In step 60, the base station may receive the random access preamble sequence indicated by the dedicated random access preamble sequence number only on the PRACH resource indicated by the PRACH resource number on the cell configured with the non-contention random access by the terminal.
Specifically, the base station sends the PDCCH order on an auxiliary cell or a primary cell of a terminal that needs to perform random access; when the PDCCH command does not adopt cross-carrier scheduling, the PDCCH command sent by the base station correspondingly triggers non-contention random access of a cell for transmitting the PDCCH command; when the PDCCH command adopts cross-carrier scheduling, the PDCCH command sent by the base station correspondingly triggers the non-contention random access of the cell indicated by the carrier indication domain in the PDCCH command.
In step 61, the base station sends the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI in the common search space of the set cell, and the specific implementation may be as follows:
when the base station configures the terminal to adopt non-competitive random access, the base station sends the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI in a public search space of a main cell configured with the terminal adopting non-competitive random access; or,
and when the base station does not configure the terminal to adopt non-competitive random access, the base station sends the PDCCH scrambled by using the RA-RNTI in the common search space of all the cells.
In step 61, the base station may determine an RA-RNTI corresponding to the random access preamble sequence received on the cell according to the following formula:
RA-RNTI + 1+ t _ id +10 f _ id +60 cell _ sign, wherein:
t _ id is the number of the first subframe corresponding to the PRACH resource, and t _ id is more than or equal to 0 and less than 10; f _ id is the number of PRACH resources in a subframe in the frequency domain, and f _ id is more than or equal to 0 and less than 6; the cell _ sign is the carrier identification information of the cell, the cell _ sign is more than or equal to 0 and less than N, and N is the maximum carrier number in the system.
In step 62, the base station transmits the random access response of the random access preamble sequence corresponding to the same RA-RNTI on the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI at the same time.
Specifically, the carrier identification information is a carrier number maintained by the terminal, or a system-level number defined for the cell in the system, or a primary cell-level number defined for the cell in a cell set corresponding to the same primary cell.
Preferably, when the random access procedure of the cell is non-contention random access, the carrier identification information may be a carrier number (cell _ index) maintained by the terminal, or a system-level number defined for the cell in the system, or a primary cell-level number defined for the cell in a cell set corresponding to the same primary cell; and when the random access process of the cell is competitive random access, the carrier identification information is a system-level number defined to the cell in a system.
In step 62, when the carrier identification information is a carrier number maintained by the terminal and the random access is non-contention random access, the base station sends the PDSCH in the primary cell of the terminal corresponding to the received random access preamble sequence.
Under other conditions, the base station sends the PDSCH in a primary cell of a terminal corresponding to the received random access preamble sequence; or, the base station sends the PDSCH in the cell where the received random access preamble sequence is located, and specifically, it may be predetermined in which cell the PDSCH is sent.
In the method, the cell is a secondary cell of the terminal, and certainly can be a primary cell of the terminal. In particular, when a plurality of cells are defined in the system as a group sharing one TA, the cell may also refer to one cell defined/configured in advance in a cell group sharing one TA.
In order to solve the problem how a terminal performs random access in a secondary cell or a plurality of cells simultaneously in a carrier aggregation system, embodiments of the present invention provide another random access method in a carrier aggregation system corresponding to a terminal side and a random access processing method corresponding to a base station side.
Referring to fig. 7, a random access method in a carrier aggregation system provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
step 70: a terminal determines a random access preamble sequence to be sent on a cell which needs to perform random access on a current subframe and PRACH resources used for sending the random access preamble sequence; sending the random access preamble sequence to a base station through the PRACH resource on the cell;
step 71: the terminal determines RA-RNTI corresponding to the random access leader sequence sent on the cell according to the information of the PRACH resource used by the random access leader sequence sent on the cell, and detects the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI in a public search space of a main cell of the terminal;
step 72: and the terminal receives a PDSCH carrying a random access response corresponding to the random access preamble sequence sent on the cell according to the detected carrier identification information indicated by the carrier identification indication field in the PDCCH, and performs uplink synchronization adjustment on the cell according to an uplink TA in the random access response.
Further, in step 70, before the terminal determines a random access preamble sequence to be sent on a cell in which random access is to be performed in a current subframe and a PRACH resource to be used for sending the random access preamble sequence, the terminal receives a dedicated random access preamble sequence number and a PRACH resource number, which are sent by a base station through a PDCCH order or an RRC signaling, where the dedicated random access preamble sequence number is used to indicate a random access preamble sequence to be used by the cell in which random access is to be performed, the PRACH resource number is used to indicate a PRACH resource to be used for sending the random access preamble sequence by the cell, and the PDCCH order or the RRC signaling is used to trigger non-contention random access of the terminal. In step 70, the terminal sends the random access preamble sequence indicated by the special random access preamble sequence number to the base station on the PRACH resource indicated by the PRACH resource number.
Specifically, the terminal may receive the PDCCH order in a secondary cell or a primary cell of the terminal; when the PDCCH command does not adopt cross-carrier scheduling, the PDCCH command received by the terminal correspondingly triggers the non-competitive random access of the cell in which the PDCCH command is transmitted; when the PDCCH command adopts cross-carrier scheduling, the PDCCH command received by the terminal correspondingly triggers the non-contention random access of the cell indicated by the carrier indication domain in the PDCCH command.
In step 72, the terminal receives, according to the detected carrier identifier information indicated by the carrier identifier indication field in the PDCCH, the PDSCH carrying the random access response corresponding to the random access preamble sequence sent in the cell, specifically: and the terminal receives the PDCCH carrying the carrier identification information consistent with the carrier identification information of the cell which sends the random access leader sequence, the dispatched PDSCH and further obtains the random access response corresponding to the random access leader sequence sent on the cell from the PDSCH.
Specifically, the carrier identification information is a carrier number maintained by the terminal, or a system-level number defined for the cell in the system, or a primary cell-level number defined for the cell in a cell set corresponding to the same primary cell.
Preferably, when the random access procedure of the cell is non-contention random access, the carrier identification information may be a carrier number (cell _ index) maintained by the terminal, or a system-level number defined for the cell in the system, or a primary cell-level number defined for the cell in a cell set corresponding to the same primary cell; and when the random access process of the cell is competitive random access, the carrier identification information is a system-level number defined to the cell in a system.
When the carrier identification information is a carrier number maintained by the terminal, the terminal receives the PDSCH in the primary cell of the terminal in step 72. In other cases, the terminal receives the PDSCH in the primary cell of the terminal or the cell transmitting the random access preamble sequence, and specifically, which cell receives the PDSCH may be agreed in advance.
The carrier identification indication field is the reuse of original bits in the PDCCH or newly added bits. When the PDCCH adopts a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format1A, one or any combination of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process number indication field, a redundancy version indication field, and a downlink allocation index indication field may be reused as a carrier identifier indication field in the PDCCH.
In the method, the cell is a secondary cell of the terminal, and may be a primary cell. In particular, when a plurality of cells are defined in the system as a group sharing one TA, the cell may also refer to one cell defined/configured in advance in a cell group sharing one TA.
Referring to fig. 8, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a random access processing method in a carrier aggregation system, including the following steps:
step 80: a base station receives a random access preamble sequence sent by a terminal on PRACH resources of a cell;
step 81: a base station determines RA-RNTI corresponding to a random access leader sequence received on a cell according to information of PRACH resources of the random access leader sequence transmitted on the cell receiving the random access leader sequence, and transmits a PDCCH which is scrambled by using the RA-RNTI and carries a carrier identifier indication domain in a public search space of the set cell so as to schedule a terminal to receive a PDSCH carrying random access response of the random access leader sequence; the carrier identification indication field indicates the carrier identification information of the cell receiving the random access leader sequence;
step 82: and the base station sends the PDSCH carrying the random access response to the terminal, wherein the random access response comprises an uplink TA.
Further, before the base station receives the random access preamble sequence sent by the terminal on the PRACH resource of the cell in step 80, the base station may send a dedicated random access preamble sequence number and a PRACH resource number to the terminal through a PDCCH order or an RRC signaling, where the dedicated random access preamble sequence number is used to indicate a random access preamble sequence used by a cell that needs to perform random access, the PRACH resource number is used to indicate a PRACH resource used by the cell that sends the random access preamble sequence, and the PDCCH order or the RRC signaling is used to trigger non-contention random access of the terminal. In step 80, the base station may receive the random access preamble sequence indicated by the dedicated random access preamble sequence number only on the PRACH resource indicated by the PRACH resource number on the cell configured with the non-contention random access by the terminal.
Specifically, the base station sends the PDCCH order on an auxiliary cell or a primary cell of a terminal that needs to perform random access; when the PDCCH command does not adopt cross-carrier scheduling, the PDCCH command sent by the base station correspondingly triggers non-contention random access of a cell for transmitting the PDCCH command; when the PDCCH command adopts cross-carrier scheduling, the PDCCH command sent by the base station correspondingly triggers the non-contention random access of the cell indicated by the carrier indication domain in the PDCCH command.
In step 81, the base station sends, in a common search space of a set cell, a PDCCH scrambled with the RA-RNTI and having a carrier identity indicator field, and the specific implementation may be as follows:
when the base station configures the terminal to adopt non-competitive random access, the base station sends the PDCCH which is scrambled by the RA-RNTI and is provided with the carrier identifier indication domain in a public search space of a main cell configured with the terminal adopting non-competitive random access; or,
and when the base station is not configured with the terminal and adopts non-competitive random access, the base station sends the PDCCH which is scrambled by the RA-RNTI and provided with the carrier identifier indication domain in the public search space of all the cells.
In step 82, the base station transmits the random access response of the random access preamble sequence corresponding to the same RA-RNTI and received on the cell with the same carrier identification information on the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI and carrying the carrier identification indication field indicating the carrier identification information of the cell.
Specifically, the carrier identification information is a carrier number maintained by the terminal, or a system-level number defined for the cell in the system, or a primary cell-level number defined for the cell in a cell set corresponding to the same primary cell.
Preferably, when the random access procedure of the cell is non-contention random access, the carrier identification information may be a carrier number (cell _ index) maintained by the terminal, or a system-level number defined for the cell in the system, or a primary cell-level number defined for the cell in a cell set corresponding to the same primary cell; and when the random access process of the cell is competitive random access, the carrier identification information is a system-level number defined to the cell in a system.
And when the carrier identification information is a carrier number maintained by the terminal and the random access is non-competitive random access, the base station sends the PDSCH in a main cell of the terminal corresponding to the received random access leader sequence. Under other conditions, the base station sends the PDSCH in a primary cell of a terminal corresponding to the received random access preamble sequence; or, the base station sends the PDSCH in the cell where the received random access preamble sequence is located, and specifically, it may be predetermined in which cell the PDSCH is sent.
The carrier identification indication field is the reuse of original bits in the PDCCH or newly added bits. When the PDCCH adopts DCI format1A, one or any combination of a HARQ process number indication field, a redundancy version indication field, and a downlink allocation index indication field may be reused as a carrier identifier indication field in the PDCCH.
In the method, the cell is a secondary cell of the terminal, and certainly can be a primary cell of the terminal. In particular, when a plurality of cells are defined in the system as a group sharing one TA, the cell may also refer to one cell defined/configured in advance in a cell group sharing one TA.
The present invention is described in detail below:
in the LTE-ACA system, when the UE aggregates multiple cells, the UE performs random access on the Scell or performs random access on multiple cells simultaneously in the following manner:
the UE end:
step 1: the UE determines a preamble sequence which is sent on the Scell and needs to be randomly accessed and a PRACH resource used for sending the preamble, and sends the determined preamble sequence on the Scell through the determined PRACH channel resource;
the PRACH configuration on each Scell may be the same as or different from the Pcell;
if the Scell is non-competitive random access, the method also comprises the step that the UE receives an exclusive preamble sequence and PRACH resources which are configured to the UE by the base station through a PDCCHorder or RRC signaling before the step;
the pdcch order corresponding to the Scell may be sent on the Scell, or may also be sent on the Pcell or other scells (pdcch ue dedicated search space transmission on the Pcell or other scells, cross-carrier scheduling needs to be configured);
preferably, in order to avoid that the base station cannot judge which UE it comes from when receiving the preamble sequence, and therefore cannot determine the Pcell of the UE, the random access on the Scell should be triggered in a PDCCHorder manner;
step 2: the UE detects a PDCCH scrambled by RA-RNTI corresponding to Scell random access response in a public search space of the Pcell and receives a PDSCH which is scheduled by the PDCCH and bears the Scell random access response;
the PDSCH may be transmitted in Pcell or Scell, and the specific manner may be pre-agreed by the UE and the base station (if the PDCCH has a carrier indication field, for example, in method 2, the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH is not required to be transmitted on the carrier indicated by the carrier indication field);
the PDSCH may include random access responses of a plurality of UEs that simultaneously send preambles on the same PRACH resource (same time-frequency domain location) on the Scell; that is, the random access response of the UE on the Scell corresponding to the same RA-RNTI is transmitted simultaneously in the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI;
the method comprises the following steps: the UE distinguishes Scell corresponding to the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI sent in the Pcell public search space through the RA-RNTI related to the carrier information;
specifically, the carrier information may be carrier identification information (cell _ sign), that is, RA-RNTI is associated with the cell _ sign, for example, RA-RNTI is 1+ t _ id +10 × f _ id +60 × -cell _ sign, where: t _ id is the number of a first subframe corresponding to the PRACH resource, the value of t _ id is more than or equal to 0 and less than 10, f _ id is the number of the PRACH resource in one subframe, the values of f _ id is more than or equal to 0 and less than 6 according to the ascending sequence number of a frequency domain, cell _ sign is the carrier identification of the current Scell, the value of cell _ sign is more than or equal to 0 and less than N, and N is the maximum carrier number in the system;
the cell _ sign of each Scell may be a carrier number maintained by the UE (i.e., each UE maintains an independent cell _ index), or a system-specific carrier identifier, or a Pcell-specific carrier identifier; preferably, the cell _ sign is a carrier identifier specific to the system (i.e. a specific number defined for a cell in the system, and a uniform number for all cells in the system), or a carrier identifier specific to the Pcell (i.e. a specific number defined for the cell in a cell set corresponding to the same primary cell, and a uniform number for Scell corresponding to UE of the same Pcell); preferably, when the random access process of the Scell is non-contention random access, the carrier identifier may be a carrier number maintained by the UE (that is, each UE maintains an independent cell _ index), or a system-specific carrier identifier, or a Pcell-specific carrier identifier; when the random access process of the Scell is competitive random access, the carrier identifier needs to be a carrier identifier exclusive to the system;
and when the cell _ sign is the carrier number maintained by the UE, requiring the PDSCH carrying the Scell random access response to be sent in the Pcell.
For example: the UE0 is configured with 2 Scell, namely Scell-1 and Scell-2, the UE0 simultaneously transmits the same preamble on Scell-1 and Scell-2 by using the same PRACH time-frequency domain resource, the UE0 determines RA-RNTI-1 corresponding to the random access response on Scell-1 according to t _ id and f _ id corresponding to the PRACH resource on Scell-1 and cell _ sign of Scell-1, detects the PDCCH scrambled by RA-RNTI-1 in the public search space of Pcell, and receives the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH (which can be transmitted on Pcell or Scell, and is agreed in advance by the UE and the base station, namely one of the transmission modes is specified in the standard), so as to obtain the random access response of Scell-1; the UE0 determines RA-RNTI-2 corresponding to the random access response on the Scell-2 according to t _ id and f _ id corresponding to the PRACH resource on the Scell-2 and the cell _ sign of the Scell-2, detects a PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI-2 in a public search space of the Pcell, and receives a PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH to obtain the random access response of the Scell-2; in the above process, in multiple UEs that simultaneously transmit preamble sequences on the same PRACH resource on Scell-1 and Scell-2, the random access response of the UE corresponding to the same RA-RNTI is simultaneously carried in the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI, that is, if UE1 simultaneously transmits a preamble sequence (different from the preamble of UE 0) on the PRACH resource that UE0 transmits a preamble sequence on Scell-1, and UE2 simultaneously transmits a preamble sequence (different from the preamble of UE 0) on the PRACH resource that UE0 transmits a preamble sequence on Scell-2:
if the cell _ sign of the Scell is a system-specific or Pcell-specific carrier identity, i.e. the carrier identity of Scell-1 maintained by UE1 is consistent with the carrier identity of Scell-1 maintained by UE0, and the carrier identity of Scell-2 maintained by UE2 is consistent with the carrier identity of Scell-2 maintained by UE0, as shown in Table 5, then UE1 determines the RA-RNTI corresponding to the random access response on Scell-1 and the RA-RNTI corresponding to UE0Scell-1 according to the t _ id and f _ id corresponding to the PRACH resource on Scell-1 and the cell _ sign of Scell-1 maintained by UE1, as RA-RNTI-1, UE2 determines the RA-RNTI corresponding to the random access response on Scell-2 and the cell _ sign of Scell-2 maintained by UE2 and the RA-RNTI-2 corresponding to the RA-RNTI 0 Scell-RNTI 2, is RA-RNTI-2, therefore, the random access response of UE1 is also carried in the RA-RNTI-1 scrambled PDCCH scheduled PDSCH, the random access response of UE2 is also carried in the RA-RNTI-2 scrambled PDCCH scheduled PDSCH, UE1 uses RA-RNTI-1 to detect PDCCH in the common search space of Pcell, and UE2 uses RA-RNTI-2 to detect PDCCH in the common search space of Pcell;

If the cell _ sign of the Scell is the carrier number maintained by the UE, i.e. the number of Scell-1 maintained by the UE1 is not consistent with the number of Scell-1 maintained by the UE0, but is consistent with the number of Scell-2 maintained by the UE0, and the number of Scell-2 maintained by the UE2 is not consistent with the number of Scell-2 maintained by the UE0, but is consistent with the number of Scell-1 maintained by the UE0, as shown in Table 6, the UE1 is RA-RNTI-2 according to t _ id and f _ id corresponding to PRACH resource on Scell-1, and RA-RNTI corresponding to RA-RNTI on Scell-1 determined by cell _ index of Scell-1 maintained by the UE1 is RA-RNTI-2, the UE2 is RA-RNTI corresponding to t _ id and f _ id corresponding to PRACH resource on Scell-2, and RA-RNTI corresponding to RA-RNTI 0 determined by cell _ index of Scell-2 maintained by the UE2, is RA-RNTI-1, therefore, the random access response corresponding to Scell-1 of UE1 is carried in the PDCCH scheduled PDSCH scrambled by RA-RNTI-2 together with the random access response corresponding to Scell-2 of UE0, the random access response corresponding to Scell-2 of UE2 is carried in the PDCCH scheduled PDSCH scrambled by RA-RNTI-1 together with the random access response corresponding to Scell-1 of UE0, UE1 detects the PDCCH in the common search space of Pcell using RA-RNTI-2, and UE2 detects the PDCCH in the common search space of Pcell using RA-RNTI-1; because the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH scrambled by the same RA-RNTI bears the random access response of different UE on different Scell, the PDSCH can be transmitted only on Pcell;

The method 2 comprises the following steps: the UE determines a Scell corresponding to the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI sent in a Pcell public search space through a carrier indication domain in the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI;
the information indicated by the carrier indication field is a random access response of which Scell is correspondingly carried by the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH, and the indication information may be cell _ sign;
the cell _ sign of each Scell may be a carrier number maintained by the UE (i.e., each UE maintains an independent cell _ index), or a system-specific carrier identifier, or a Pcell-specific carrier identifier; preferably, the cell _ sign is a carrier identifier specific to the system (i.e. a specific number defined for a cell in the system, and a uniform number for all cells in the system), or a carrier identifier specific to the Pcell (i.e. a specific number defined for the cell in a cell set corresponding to the same primary cell, and a uniform number for Scell corresponding to UE of the same Pcell); preferably, when the random access process of the Scell is non-contention random access, the carrier identifier may be a carrier number maintained by the UE (that is, each UE maintains an independent cell _ index), or a system-specific carrier identifier, or a Pcell-specific carrier identifier; when the random access process of the Scell is competitive random access, the carrier identifier needs to be a carrier identifier exclusive to the system;
when the cell _ sign is a carrier number maintained by the UE, requiring the PDSCH carrying the Scell random access response to be sent in the Pcell;
the random access response of the UE on the Scell corresponding to the same RA-RNTI and Scellsign is transmitted simultaneously in the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH corresponding to the Scellsign and the carrier indication domain scrambled by the RA-RNTI;
the carrier indication field in the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI can be newly added extra bits or reuse original bits;
preferably, in order not to increase blind detection, the PDCCH scrambled by RA-RNTI may adopt DCI _ format1A, and at this time, one of them may be reused:
HARQ process number (HARQ processsnumber) indication field, 3 bits for FDD system and 4 bits for TDD system; and/or the presence of a gas in the gas,
redundancy version (redundancy) indication field, 2 bits for both FDD and TDD; and/or the presence of a gas in the gas,
for a TDD system, a downlink allocation index (downlink assignment index) indication field, 2 bits;
for example: the UE0 is configured with 2 scells, which are Scell-1 and Scell-2, respectively, and the UE0 simultaneously transmits the same preamble on Scell-1 and Scell-2 by using the same PRACH time frequency domain resource, so that the UE0 determines that the two scells correspond to the same RA-RNTI according to t _ id and f _ id corresponding to the PRACH resource on Scell-1 and Scell-2, detects the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI in the common search space of the Pcell to obtain 2 PDCCHs scrambled by the RA-RNTI, and determines the PDSCH scheduled by each PDCCH (which may be transmitted on the Pcell or on the Scell, and the UE and the base station have a predetermined convention, that is, one of the transmission modes is specified in the standard) according to the carrier indication domain in the 2 PDCCHs: that is, the carrier indication field in PDCCH1 corresponds to cell _ sign of Scell-1 maintained by UE0, so that it is determined that the random access response of Scell-1 is carried on the PDSCH scheduled by PDCCH1, and UE0 obtains the random access response of Scell-1 from the PDSCH scheduled by PDCCH 1; the carrier indication domain in the PDCCH2 corresponds to cell _ sign of Scell-2 maintained by the UE0, so that the random access response of Scell-2 is determined to be carried on the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH2, and the UE0 obtains the random access response of Scell-2 from the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH 2; in the above process, the random access responses of multiple UEs that simultaneously transmit preamble sequences on the same PRACH resource on Scell-1 and Scell-2 are transmitted in the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI corresponding to the same carrier indication domain, that is, if UE1 simultaneously transmits a preamble sequence (different from the preamble of UE 0) on the PRACH resource where UE0 transmits the preamble sequence on Scell-1, UE2 simultaneously transmits a preamble sequence (different from the preamble of UE 0) on the PRACH resource where UE0 transmits the preamble sequence on Scell-2, UE1 and UE2 also use the same RA-RNTI as UE0 to detect 2 PDCCHs in the common search space of Pcell, and obtain a random access response in the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH that is consistent with the Scell number where the preamble sequence is transmitted by itself according to the carrier indication domain in each PDCCH, specifically:
if the cell _ sign of the Scell is a system-specific or Pcell-specific carrier identity, that is, the carrier identity of Scell-1 maintained by the UE1 is consistent with the carrier identity of Scell-1 maintained by the UE0, and the carrier identity of Scell-2 maintained by the UE2 is consistent with the carrier identity of Scell-2 maintained by the UE0, as shown in table 5: the cell _ sign of the Scell-1 maintained by the UE1 corresponds to the carrier indication field in the PDCCH1, so that the random access response corresponding to the Scell-1 of the UE1 and the random access response corresponding to the Scell-1 of the UE0 are carried on the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH1, and the UE1 obtains the random access response corresponding to the Scell-1 from the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH 1; the cell _ sign of the Scell-2 maintained by the UE2 corresponds to the carrier indicator field in the PDCCH2, so that the random access response corresponding to the Scell-2 of the UE2 and the random access response corresponding to the Scell-2 of the UE0 are carried on the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH2, and the UE2 obtains the random access response corresponding to the Scell-2 from the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH 2;
if the cell _ sign of the Scell is the UE-specific carrier number, i.e. the number of Scell-1 maintained by the UE1 is not consistent with the number of Scell-1 maintained by the UE0, but is consistent with the number of Scell-2 maintained by the UE0, and the number of Scell-2 maintained by the UE2 is not consistent with the number of Scell-2 maintained by the UE0, but is consistent with the number of Scell-1 maintained by the UE0, as shown in table 6: cellindex of Scell-1 maintained by UE1 corresponds to a carrier indication domain in PDCCH2, so that a random access response corresponding to Scell-1 of UE1 and a random access response corresponding to Scell-2 of UE0 are carried on a PDSCH scheduled by PDCCH2, and UE1 obtains a random access response corresponding to Scell-1 from the PDSCH scheduled by PDCCH 2; cellindex of Scell-2 maintained by UE2 corresponds to a carrier indication domain in PDCCH1, so that a random access response corresponding to Scell-2 of UE2 and a random access response corresponding to Scell-1 of UE0 are carried on a PDSCH scheduled by PDCCH1, and UE2 obtains a random access response corresponding to Scell-2 from the PDSCH scheduled by PDCCH 1; because the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH scrambled by the same RA-RNTI bears the random access response of different UE on different Scell, the PDSCH can be transmitted only on Pcell;
in addition, the random access method on the Scell may also be applicable to random access on the Pcell, and the random access method is also applicable when the Pcell of the UE and at least one Scell perform random access simultaneously. Particularly, the random access method is also applicable when a plurality of cells are defined in a system as a group sharing one TA, and the Scell may refer to one cell or Pcell predefined/configured in a cell group sharing one TA.
A base station end:
step 1: the base station receives a preamble sequence on the PRACH channel resource on the Scell;
the PRACH configuration on each Scell may be the same as or different from the Pcell;
if the Scell is non-competitive random access, before the step, the base station sends configuration information to the Scell of the UE through PDCCHorder or RRC signaling, and configures dedicated preamble sequences and PRACH resources of the UE; the pdcch order corresponding to the Scell may be sent on the Scell, or may also be sent on the Pcell or other scells (pdcch ue dedicated search space transmission on the Pcell or other scells, cross-carrier scheduling needs to be configured); if the base station is configured with non-competitive random access, only the configured PRACH resource on the Scell configured with non-competitive random access needs to receive a preamble sequence;
step 2: a base station sends a PDCCH scrambled by RA-RNTI corresponding to Scell random access response in a public search space of a Pcell, and sends a PDSCH which is scheduled by the PDCCH and bears the Scell random access response;
the PDSCH may be transmitted in Pcell or Scell, and the specific manner may be predetermined by the UE and the base station;
the PDSCH may include random access responses of a plurality of UEs that simultaneously send preambles on the same PRACH resource on the Scell; that is, the random access response of the UE on the Scell corresponding to the same RA-RNTI is transmitted simultaneously in the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI;
the method comprises the following steps: a base station scrambles a PDCCH (physical downlink control channel) of a random access response of a corresponding Scell, which is sent in a Pcell public search space, by adopting RA-RNTI (random access-radio network temporary identifier) related to carrier information;
specifically, the carrier information may be carrier identification information (cell _ sign), that is, RA-RNTI is associated with the cell _ sign, for example, RA-RNTI is 1+ t _ id +10 × f _ id +60 × -cell _ sign, where: t _ id is the number of a first subframe corresponding to the PRACH resource, the value of t _ id is more than or equal to 0 and less than 10, f _ id is the number of the PRACH resource in one subframe, the values of f _ id is more than or equal to 0 and less than 6 according to the ascending sequence number of a frequency domain, cell _ sign is the carrier identification of the current Scell, the value of cell _ sign is more than or equal to 0 and less than N, and N is the maximum carrier number in the system;
the cell _ sign of each Scell may be a carrier number maintained by the UE (i.e., each UE maintains an independent cell _ index), or a system-specific carrier identifier, or a Pcell-specific carrier identifier; preferably, the cell _ sign is a carrier identifier specific to the system (i.e. a specific number defined for a cell in the system, and a uniform number for all cells in the system), or a carrier identifier specific to the Pcell (i.e. a specific number defined for the cell in a cell set corresponding to the same primary cell, and a uniform number for Scell corresponding to UE of the same Pcell); preferably, when the random access process of the Scell is non-contention random access, the carrier identifier may be a carrier number maintained by the UE (that is, each UE maintains an independent cell _ index), or a system-specific carrier identifier, or a Pcell-specific carrier identifier; when the random access process of the Scell is competitive random access, the carrier identifier needs to be a carrier identifier exclusive to the system;
when the cell _ sign is a carrier number maintained by the UE, requiring the PDSCH carrying the Scell random access response to be sent in the Pcell;
particularly, when the base station is not configured with non-contention random access, if the base station receives a preamble sequence, the base station needs to send a PDCCH for scheduling a PDSCH carrying the RAR in a common search space of all cells;
for example: the base station receives the same preamble0 sequence sent by UE0 on the same PRACH resource on Scell-1 and Scell-2, the base station determines RA-RNTI-1 corresponding to the random access response sent on Scell-1 according to t _ id and f _ id corresponding to the PRACH resource of preamble0 received on Scell-1 and cell _ sign of Scell-1, and adopts PDCCH scrambled by RA-RNTI-1 in the public search space of Pcell to schedule and bear PDSCH of the random access response corresponding to the preamble received on Scell-1; the base station determines RA-RNTI-2 corresponding to the random access response sent on the Scell-2 according to t _ id and f _ id corresponding to PRACH resource of preamble0 received on the Scell-2 and cell _ sign of the Scell-2, and adopts PDCCH scrambled by RA-RNTI-2 to schedule and bear PDSCH (the PDSCH can be transmitted on the Pcell or the Scell and is pre-agreed by the UE and the base station, namely one of transmission modes is stipulated in the standard) of the random access response received on the Scell-2 in the public search space of the Pcell; in the above process, if the base station receives multiple preamble sequences simultaneously on the same PRACH resource on Scell-1 and Scell-2, the random access response of the preamble sequence corresponding to the same RA-RNTI is transmitted simultaneously in the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI, that is, if the base station receives the preamble1 sequence from the UE1 on the PRACH resource of the preamble0 sequence received on Scell-1, and receives the preamble2 sequence from the UE2 on the PRACH resource of the preamble0 sequence received on Scell-2, then:
if the cell _ sign of the Scell is a system-specific or Pcell-specific carrier identity, that is, the carrier identity of the Scell-1 maintained by the UE1 is consistent with the carrier identity of the Scell-1 maintained by the UE0, and the carrier identity of the Scell-2 maintained by the UE2 is consistent with the carrier identity of the Scell-2 maintained by the UE0, as shown in table 5: the base station receives the RA-RNTI corresponding to the random access response of preamble1 on Scell-1 and the RA-RNTI corresponding to the random access response of preamble0 on UE0Scell-1, which are determined by cell sign of Scell-1, from the t _ id and f _ id corresponding to the PRACH resource of preamble2 received on Scell-2, and the RA-RNTI corresponding to the random access response of preamble2 on Scell-2 and the RA-RNTI corresponding to the random access response of preamble0 on UE0Scell-2, which are determined by cell sign of Scell-2, from the t _ id and f _ id corresponding to the PRACH resource of preamble1 received on Scell-1, and the RA-RNTI corresponding to the random access response of preamble0 on Scell-2, which are determined by cell sign of Scell-2, which are RA-RNTI-2, so that the base station transmits the random access response of the PDSCH 1 on the random access response of the PDSCH 563268 on the PDCCH which is scrambled by RA-RNTI-1 (namely the PDSCH 0 corresponding to the UE1 on Scell-1), the base station simultaneously transmits the random access response corresponding to the preamble2 of the UE2 on the Scell-2 in the PDSCH (namely the PDSCH carrying the random access response corresponding to the preamble0 of the UE0 on the Scell-2) scheduled by the PDCCH scrambled by RA-RNTI-2;
if the cell _ index of the Scell is the carrier number maintained by the UE, i.e. the number of Scell-1 maintained by the UE1 is not consistent with the number of Scell-1 maintained by the UE0 but is consistent with the number of Scell-2 maintained by the UE0, and the number of Scell-2 maintained by the UE2 is not consistent with the number of Scell-2 maintained by the UE0 but is consistent with the number of Scell-1 maintained by the UE0, as shown in Table 6: the base station receives the t _ id and f _ id corresponding to the PRACH resource of preamble1 received on Scell-1, and the RA-RNTI corresponding to the random access response of preamble1 on Scell-1 and the RA-RNTI corresponding to the random access response of preamble0 on UE0Scell-2 determined by cell _ index of Scell-1, and is RA-RNTI-2, the base station receives the t _ id and f _ id corresponding to the PRACH resource of preamble2 received on Scell-2, and the RA-RNTI corresponding to the random access response of preamble2 on Scell-2 determined by cell _ index of Scell-2 and the RA-RNTI corresponding to the random access response of preamble0 on UE0Scell-1, and is RA-RNTI-1, therefore, the base station transmits the random access response of the PDSCH 3668 on PDSCH 0 scrambled by RA-RNTI-2 (namely, the PDSCH 1 corresponding to preamble0 on Scell-2 carrying UE 7 on Scell-1) in the random access response of the UE 3526, the base station simultaneously transmits the random access response corresponding to the preamble2 of the UE2 on the Scell-2 in the PDSCH (namely the PDSCH carrying the random access response corresponding to the preamble0 of the UE0 on the Scell-1) scheduled by the PDCCH scrambled by RA-RNTI-1; because the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH scrambled by the same RA-RNTI bears the random access response of different UE on different Scell, the PDSCH can be transmitted only on Pcell;
the method 2 comprises the following steps: the base station indicates a Scell corresponding to the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI sent in the Pcell public search space through a carrier indication domain in the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI;
the information indicated by the carrier indication field is a random access response of the Scell corresponding to the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH, and the indication information may be cell _ sign;
the cell _ sign of each Scell may be a carrier number maintained by the UE (i.e., each UE maintains an independent cell _ index), or a system-specific carrier identifier, or a Pcell-specific carrier identifier; preferably, the cell _ sign is a carrier identifier specific to the system (i.e. a specific number defined for a cell in the system, and a uniform number for all cells in the system), or a carrier identifier specific to the Pcell (i.e. a specific number defined for the cell in a cell set corresponding to the same primary cell, and a uniform number for Scell corresponding to UE of the same Pcell); preferably, when the random access process of the Scell is non-contention random access, the carrier identifier may be a carrier number maintained by the UE (that is, each UE maintains an independent cell _ index), or a system-specific carrier identifier, or a Pcell-specific carrier identifier; when the random access process of the Scell is competitive random access, the carrier identifier needs to be a carrier identifier exclusive to the system;
when the cell _ sign is a carrier number maintained by the UE, requiring the PDSCH carrying the Scell random access response to be sent in the Pcell;
particularly, when the base station is not configured with non-contention random access, if the base station receives a preamble sequence, the base station needs to send a PDCCH for scheduling a PDSCH carrying the RAR in a common search space of all cells;
the random access response of the UE on the Scell corresponding to the same RA-RNTI and Scellsign is transmitted simultaneously in the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH corresponding to the Scellindex and the carrier indication domain scrambled by the RA-RNTI;
the carrier indication field in the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI can be newly added extra bits or reuse original bits;
preferably, in order not to increase blind detection, the PDCCH scrambled by RA-RNTI may adopt DCIformat1A, and at this time, one of them may be reused:
HARQ process number (HARQ processsnumber) indication field, 3 bits for FDD system and 4 bits for TDD system; and/or the presence of a gas in the gas,
redundancy version (redundancy) indication field, 2 bits for both FDD and TDD; and/or the presence of a gas in the gas,
for a TDD system, a downlink allocation index (downlink assignment index) indication field, 2 bits;
for example: the base station receives the same preamble0 sequence sent by the UE0 on the same PRACH resource on Scell-1 and Scell-2, then the base station determines that two scells correspond to the same RA-RNTI according to t _ id and f _ id corresponding to the PRACH resource on Scell-1 and Scell-2, sends 2 PDCCHs scrambled with the RA-RNTI in the common search space of the Pcell, sets the carrier indication field in the PDCCH corresponding to the preamble0 response on Scell-1 to the value corresponding to the carrier identifier of Scell-1, transmits the random access response of the preamble0 received on Scell-1 in the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH, sets the carrier indication field in the PDCCH corresponding to the preamble0 response on Scell-2 to the value corresponding to the carrier identifier of Scell-2, and transmits the random access response of the preamble0 received on Scell-2 in the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH (the above can be transmitted on the Pcell, or may be transmitted on Scell, where UE and base station agree in advance, that is, one of the transmission modes is specified in the standard); in the above process, if the base station receives preamble sequences from multiple UEs on the same PRACH resource on Scell-1 and Scell-2 at the same time, then the random access response of the preamble corresponding to the same Scell carrier identity (corresponding to the carrier indicator field in the PDCCH) is transmitted in the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH scrambled by the RA-RNTI having the carrier indicator field corresponding to the Scell carrier identity at the same time, that is, if the base station receives the preamble1 sequence from the UE1 on the PRACH resource of the preamble0 sequence on Scell-1 and receives the preamble2 sequence from the UE2 on the PRACH resource of the preamble0 sequence on Scell-2, then:
if the cell _ sign of the Scell is a system-specific or Pcell-specific carrier identity, that is, the carrier identity of Scell-1 maintained by the UE1 is consistent with the carrier identity of Scell-1 maintained by the UE0, and the carrier identity of Scell-2 maintained by the UE2 is consistent with the carrier identity of Scell-2 maintained by the UE0, as shown in table 5: the base station simultaneously transmits a random access response corresponding to preamble1 of UE1 on Scell-1 in a PDSCH scheduled by a PDCCH with a carrier indication field corresponding to cell _ sign of Scell-1 (namely, a PDSCH carrying a random access response corresponding to preamble0 of UE0 on Scell-1), and simultaneously transmits a random access response corresponding to preamble2 of UE2 on Scell-2 in a PDSCH scheduled by a PDCCH with a carrier indication field corresponding to cell _ sign of Scell-2 (namely, a PDSCH carrying a random access response corresponding to preamble0 of UE0 on Scell-2);
if the cell _ sign of the Scell is the UE-specific carrier number, i.e. the number of Scell-1 maintained by the UE1 is not consistent with the number of Scell-1 maintained by the UE0, but is consistent with the number of Scell-2 maintained by the UE0, and the number of Scell-2 maintained by the UE2 is not consistent with the number of Scell-2 maintained by the UE0, but is consistent with the number of Scell-1 maintained by the UE0, as shown in table 6: the base station simultaneously transmits a random access response corresponding to a preamble1 of UE1 on Scell-1 in a PDSCH (namely, a PDSCH carrying a random access response corresponding to a preamble0 of UE0 on Scell-2) scheduled by a PDCCH with a carrier indication domain corresponding to celldex of Scell-2, and simultaneously transmits a random access response corresponding to a preamble2 of UE2 on Scell-2 in a PDSCH (namely, a PDSCH carrying a random access response corresponding to a preamble0 of UE0 on Scell-1) scheduled by a PDCCH with a carrier indication domain corresponding to celldex of Scell-1; because the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH scrambled by the same RA-RNTI bears the random access response of different UE on different Scell, the PDSCH can be transmitted only on Pcell;
the embodiment of the invention provides a random access method, which can support simultaneous random access on one Scell, or Pcell and Scell, or a plurality of Scells, thereby ensuring that different cells can independently perform TA adjustment when different frequency bands are aggregated in an LTE-A system on the basis of not increasing the blind detection times of a PDCCH by UE.
