Detailed Description
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more apparent, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined with each other.
The steps illustrated in the flowchart of the figures may be performed in a computer system, such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Also, while a logical order is depicted in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps depicted or described may be performed in a different order than presented herein.
The embodiment of the invention provides a UE positioning method, as shown in figure 1, which comprises the following steps:
step 101, the base station receives a random access preamble message sent by the UE on the PRACH resource.
Wherein the PRACH resource corresponds to SSB of the cell to which the UE belongs.
It should be noted that the primary synchronization signal (Primary Synchronization Signal, PSS), the secondary synchronization signal (Secondary Synchronization Signal), SSS and the physical broadcast channel (Physical Broadcast Channel, PBCH) together form one SSB (i.e., SS/PBCH block). In the third generation partnership project (3rd Generation Partnership Projec,3Gpp) protocol of the fifth generation mobile communication network (the 5th Generation mobile communication technology,5G), one cell support configuration transmits multiple SSBs, and each SSB may configure a corresponding PRACH resource.
It should be noted that, since the PRACH resource corresponds to the SSB of the cell to which the UE belongs, the base station receives the random access Preamble message sent by the UE on the PRACH resource, that is, the random access Preamble message is sent by the UE on the PRACH resource corresponding to the SSB of the cell to which the UE belongs.
Optionally, before the base station receives the random access preamble message sent by the UE on the PRACH resource, the method further includes:
the base station configures SSBs for all cells in the virtual cell.
The base station configures PRACH resources corresponding to the SSB for all cells in the virtual cells.
Optionally, the base station configures PRACH resources corresponding to SSB for all cells in the virtual cell, including:
the base station configures PRACH resources corresponding to the SSB for all cells in the virtual cell, wherein at least one of the time domain, the frequency domain and the code domain is different.
Step 102, the base station obtains the home cell of the UE in the virtual cell according to the PRACH resource of the random access preamble message sent by the UE, the corresponding relation between the PRACH resource and the SSB and the corresponding relation between the SSB and the cell in the virtual cell.
In one illustrative example, step 102 includes:
and the base station acquires SSB corresponding to the PRACH resource of the random access preamble message sent by the UE in the corresponding relation between the PRACH resource and the SSB.
And the base station acquires a cell corresponding to the acquired SSB from the corresponding relation between the SSB and the cells in the virtual cell as a home cell of the UE in the virtual cell.
In an exemplary embodiment, when the number of cells is greater than the number of configurable SSBs, the base station configures SSBs for all cells in the virtual cell, including:
and the base station configures SSB for all cells in the virtual cells by adopting a mode of multiplexing SSB.
Specifically, when the interference isolation between two or more cells in the virtual cell satisfies a certain condition, the cells may be configured with the same SSB. The interference isolation meeting a certain condition may specifically mean that the distance is greater than a preset distance, and the preset distance may be a distance where signal interference caused by the interference isolation itself to the counterpart is lower than a preset interference value.
According to the UE positioning method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the base station acquires the attribution cell of the UE in the virtual cell according to the PRACH resource of the random access preamble message sent by the UE, so that the acquisition of the attribution cell of the UE in the virtual cell is realized, and when the base station needs to schedule the UE to transmit and receive uplink and downlink data, the targeted transmission and reception of the message are realized, and the waste of resources is avoided.
The embodiment of the invention provides a UE positioning method, as shown in fig. 2, which comprises the following steps:
step 201, the UE detects SSB information.
Step 202, the UE acquires PRACH resources of the self-home cell according to the detected SSB information.
Step 203, the UE sends a random access preamble message to the base station on the PRACH resource of its own home cell.
According to the UE positioning method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the UE sends the random access preamble message to the base station on the PRACH resource of the self-attributing cell, so that the base station acquires the attributing cell of the UE in the virtual cell according to the PRACH resource of the random access preamble message sent by the UE, the acquisition of the UE attributing cell in the virtual cell is realized, and when the base station needs to schedule the UE to transmit and receive uplink and downlink data, the targeted transmission and reception of the message are realized, and the waste of resources is avoided.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a UE positioning method, which comprises the following steps:
step 1, configuring different SSBs for N transmission points belonging to one virtual cell, and configuring PRACH resources corresponding to each SSB, wherein in a 5G protocol, the number of configurable SSBs supported by different frequency bands is different, and the maximum number of configurable SSBs can be supported and configured, where N is the number of transmission points contained in one virtual cell, and if the value of N is greater than the number of configurable SSBs, the SSBs can be multiplexed, and a specific multiplexing method may be: as long as the interference isolation between the transmitting points meets a certain condition, the two transmitting points can configure the same SSB, wherein the PRACH resource configuration requires different time domains, frequency domains or code domains corresponding to the PRACH resources corresponding to different SSBs.
Step 2, the UE detects the SSB and sends an access Preamble message on PRACH resources corresponding to the detected SSB.
And 3, the base station determines the SSB corresponding to the UE according to the Preamble resource sent by the UE, so as to determine a sending point corresponding to the SSB, wherein the sending point is the sending point to which the UE belongs.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a UE positioning method, as shown in figure 3, comprising the following steps:
step 301, the base station configures different SSBs for 2 transmission points in a virtual cell, and assumes that transmission point 1 configures SSB1, transmission point 2 configures SSB2, and configures PRACH resources corresponding to each SSB, and assumes that SSB1 corresponds to 0-31 of a Preamble sequence, and SSB2 corresponds to 32-63 of the Preamble sequence.
Step 302, the UE detects the SSB2, and knows that the PRACH resource corresponding to the SSB2 is 32-63 of the Preamble sequence, and the UE adopts any one sequence of the 32-63 of the Preamble sequence to send the access Preamble message.
Step 303, the base station determines that SSB corresponding to the UE is SSB2 and the transmission point corresponding to SSB2 is transmission point 2 according to the Preamble sequence sent by the UE belonging to 32-63, thereby determining that transmission point 2 is the transmission point to which the UE belongs.
