Description

Random access preamble transmitting method and device Technical field

The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and a device for transmitting a random access preamble.

Background technique

Internet of Things (IoT) is the Internet of Things. It extends the client side of the Internet between any item and item for information exchange and communication. Typical IoT applications include possible applications including smart grid, smart agriculture, smart transportation, smart home, and environmental detection. Because the Internet of Things needs to be applied in a variety of scenarios, such as from the outdoors to the indoors, from the ground to the underground, there are many special requirements for the design of the Internet of Things. For example, where the wireless network signal is poor, there is a need for coverage enhancement. Most IoT applications need to support a large number of low-rate devices and large-scale deployment of low-cost and low-energy devices.

For applications targeting open areas, such as smart agriculture, animal husbandry monitoring, smart lakes (eg pollution monitoring, aquatic biomonitoring, etc.), the coverage level of IoT devices needs to meet larger cell radii.

Since the uplink of the Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) adopts single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) technology, in order to ensure that uplink data of different users can reach the base station side at the same time to avoid mutual interference. The user needs to perform a random access procedure before sending the uplink data, that is, the user needs to send the NB-IoT random access preamble on the random access channel. An NB-IoT random access preamble consists of 4 symbol groups. One symbol group occupies one subcarrier, and one symbol group consists of a cyclic prefix CP and 5 symbols. The length of each symbol is NB-IoT uplink subcarrier. The reciprocal of the bandwidth. The maximum cell radius supported by the NB-IoT is related to the guard time GT. The larger the GT, the larger the radius of the largest cell covered, and the guard time GT is related to the time length T _{CP of the} cyclic prefix and the time length T _{SEQ of} 5 symbols. Therefore, the maximum cell radius supported by the NB-IoT is related to the format of the NB-IoT random access preamble and the subcarrier bandwidth supported by the NB-IoT _.

Among the uplink frequency domain resources in the existing NB-IoT, the bandwidth of one NB-IoT carrier is 180 kHz, and the bandwidth of one subcarrier is 3.75 kHz. The format of the NB-IoT random access preamble includes format 0 or format 1, format 0. The time length T _CP of the cyclic prefix of format 1 is different. The maximum cell radius supported by format 0 is 10 km, and the maximum cell radius supported by format 1 is 40 km.

In LTE, the maximum cell radius that the random access preamble can support exceeds 100 km. For the application of the Internet of Things to open areas, in order to interface with LTE and multiplex the LTE site, NB-IoT also needs to meet the maximum cell radius supported by more than 100km. However, the current random access preamble format of NB-IoT does not support such a large cell radius. Therefore, the new format of the random access preamble and the time-frequency resource configuration of the random access preamble transmitting the new format need to be designed to adapt to the maximum cell radius of the NB-IoT exceeding 100 km.

detailed description

The embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present application is mainly applied to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system or an Advanced Long Term Evolution (LTE-A) (LTE Advanced) system. The present application can also be applied to other communication systems, as long as there are entities in the communication system that can transmit information, and other entities can receive information. For example: New Radio (NR) system, Global System of Mobile communication (GSM) system, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (Wideband Code Division Multiple) Access, WCDMA) System, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, Advanced Long Term Evolution (LTE-A) system, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System, UMTS), Evolved Long Term Evolution (eLTE) system, other mobile communication systems such as 5G.

As shown in FIG. 1, the network device and the terminal device 1 to the terminal device 6 constitute a communication system in which the network device and the terminal device 1 to the terminal device 6 can transmit data to each other. Further, the terminal device 4 to the terminal device 6 also constitute a communication system in which the terminal device 5 can transmit information to one or more of the terminal device 4 and the terminal device 6.

When multiple terminal devices send uplink data to the network device at the same time, they may cause interference between each other. In view of this, the mobile communication standardization organization 3GPP raised the problem of the narrowband Internet of Things NB-IOT at the RAN#69 meeting. The uplink of the NB-IoT is intended to use the frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) technology. In order to ensure that the uplink data of different terminal devices can reach the network device side at the same time to avoid interference between each other, the user needs to send uplink data. The random access procedure is performed first. Specifically, before the terminal device sends the uplink data to the network device, the NB-IoT random access preamble needs to be sent on the random access channel according to the random access configuration information specified by the network device.

In the prior art, an NB-IoT random access preamble consists of 4 symbol groups, one symbol group occupies one subcarrier, and there is frequency hopping between the symbol groups, and the frequency domain position of each symbol group transmission is limited to 12 Within the subcarriers, the frequency domain hopping range is within 12 subcarriers, the subcarrier bandwidth is 3.75 kHz, the hopping interval between symbol groups is an integer multiple of the subcarrier bandwidth, and the minimum hopping interval is 3.75 kHz. As shown in FIG. 2, an NB-IoT random access preamble is composed of a symbol group 1, a symbol group 2, a symbol group 3, and a symbol group 4. #0 to #11 represent 12 subcarriers, symbol group 1 and symbol group 2 The frequency hopping interval is 3.75 kHz, the frequency hopping interval between symbol group 2 and symbol group 3 is 22.5 kHz, and the frequency hopping interval between symbol group 3 and symbol group 4 is 3.75 kHz. As shown in FIG. 3, one symbol group includes one cyclic prefix CP and five symbols (symbols #0 to #4), the cyclic prefix has a time length of T _CP , and the length of five symbols is T _SEQ , each symbol A sequence is carried on, and the length of time of each symbol group is the reciprocal of the subcarrier bandwidth.

During actual transmission, the NB-IoT random access preamble is repeatedly transmitted according to the number of repetitions of the network configuration. As shown in FIG. 4, in each repetition period, four symbol groups of the random access preamble are represented by gray-filled rectangles and numbers, and are recorded as chronological order as the first, second, third, and fourth symbol groups. , the figure is represented by the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4. The random access preamble has two frequency hopping intervals in one repetition period, which are 3.75 kHz and 22.5 kHz, respectively. The frequency hopping interval between the first symbol group and the second symbol group is 3.75 kHz, and the frequency hopping interval between the third symbol group and the fourth symbol group is 3.75 kHz. The hopping interval between the second symbol group and the third symbol group is 22.5 kHz. Pseudo-random frequency hopping is used between two adjacent repetition periods. The elliptical dotted line is marked in the figure, and the frequency hopping range is also limited to 12 subcarriers.

As shown in Table 1, the preamble currently supported by NB-IoT has two formats, where T _CP is the length of a cyclic prefix, and T _SEQ is the length of 5 symbols.

Hereinafter, some of the terms in the present application will be explained to be understood by those skilled in the art.

1) A terminal, also called a User Equipment (UE), is a device that provides voice and/or data connectivity to a user, for example, a handheld device with a wireless connection function, an in-vehicle device, and the like. Common terminals include, for example, mobile phones, tablets, notebook computers, PDAs, mobile internet devices (MIDs), wearable devices such as smart watches, smart bracelets, pedometers, and the like.

2), the network device, which may be a common base station (such as a Node B or an eNB), may be a new radio controller (NR controller), may be a gNode B (gNB) in a 5G system, may be centralized A centralized unit, which may be a new wireless base station, may be a radio remote module, may be a micro base station, may be a relay, may be a distributed network element, or may be a receiving point (Transmission) A reception point (TRP) or a transmission point (TP) or any other wireless access device, but the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

3), symbols, including but not limited to Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, Sparse Code Multiplexing Access (SCMA) symbols, filtered orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (Filtered) The Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (F-OFDM) symbol and the Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) symbol may be determined according to actual conditions, and details are not described herein again.

4) System message, which is cell-level information, is valid for all terminal devices accessing the cell, and each system message contains a set of parameters related to a certain function.

5) The system information block SIB2 is a type of system message, and mainly includes public radio resource configuration information, which is common to all UEs.

6) Subcarrier bandwidth: The smallest granularity in the frequency domain. For example, in LTE, the subcarrier width of one subcarrier is 15 kHz. In NB-IoT, the subcarrier width of one subcarrier is 15 kHz, 3.75 kHz, and even narrower.

7) "Multiple" means two or more. "and/or", describing the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that there may be three relationships, for example, A and/or B, which may indicate that there are three cases where A exists separately, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists separately. The character "/" generally indicates that the contextual object is an "or" relationship. In the meantime, it should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe various messages, requests, and terminals in the embodiments of the present application, these messages, requests, and terminals should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish messages, requests, and terminals from one another.

In order to accommodate the narrower subcarrier bandwidth supported by the NB-IoT system and cover a larger cell radius, a new format of the random access preamble needs to be designed to support. As shown in FIG. 5, in the new format of the random access preamble, each symbol group includes a cyclic prefix CP (time length is T _CP ) and a sequence, wherein the sequence includes E symbols, and the total length of the sequence is T _SEQ , E is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, and E can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and the like. Since the subcarrier bandwidth is narrower than the existing NB-IoT system, for example, the subcarrier bandwidth is 1.25 kHz, and the time length of each symbol is the reciprocal of the subcarrier bandwidth, the time length of each symbol will be prior art. 3 times, the length of the symbol increases, and the length of the cyclic prefix CP also increases. Therefore, in the new format, the time length T _{CP of the} cyclic prefix and the time length T _{SEQ of} all symbols are increased relative to the existing format 0 and format 1.

In a possible design, based on the format of the symbol group shown in FIG. 5, a new format of a random access preamble provided by the present application is shown in Table 2.

In a possible design, based on the format of the symbol group shown in FIG. 5, a new format of a random access preamble provided by the present application is shown in Table 3.

In a possible design, based on the format of the symbol group shown in FIG. 5, a new format of a random access preamble provided by the present application is shown in Table 4.

Based on the foregoing new format, the present application provides a method for notifying a new format of a random access preamble, which specifically includes:

The terminal device receives random access configuration information sent by the network device, where the random access configuration information is used to indicate a format of the random access preamble.

Specifically, the network device notifies the terminal device of the random access preamble by using a system message, such as SIB2. Enter configuration information.

The network device may randomize the radio, the Radio Resource Control (RRC) dedicated signaling, the Media Access Control (MAC) control element, or the Downlink Control Information (DCI). The access configuration information is sent to the terminal device, and the random access configuration information is sent to the terminal device in other manners, which is not limited herein.

The random access configuration information includes a random access preamble format index or CP length, a random access resource period, a starting subcarrier frequency domain location, a number of subcarriers allocated for random access, a random access repetition number, and a random number. The access start time, the maximum number of retransmissions of the random access preamble, and the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) threshold. The random access preamble format index or the CP length is used to indicate the format of the random access preamble.

In practical applications, the random access configuration information may include at least one parameter of the following parameters: a random access channel format, a subcarrier spacing, a length of a basic time unit T _hop , and a random access channel. The total length of time or the number of basic time units T _hop .

The random access channel format is used to indicate whether the terminal device sends a random access signal by using a single carrier-based hopping interval or a multi-carrier based hopping interval. The length of the basic time unit T _hop is used to indicate the specific duration of a time unit. The parameter is related to the basic parameters of the random access channel, which is not limited herein. The total length of the random access channel or the number of basic time units T _hop is used to indicate how long or how many time units the terminal device needs to transmit, and the parameter is related to the basic parameters of the random access channel. , specifically here is not limited.

In addition, the NB-IoT system supports a narrower subcarrier bandwidth and covers a larger cell radius. The frequency hopping interval between the symbol groups of the random access preamble in the new format and the number of subcarriers limited during the hopping change. For example, when the subcarrier bandwidth is narrowed to 1.25 kHz, the hopping interval is an integer multiple of the carrier. At this time, the hopping interval that can be used is increased, and the hopping limit of the symbol group is increased from 12 subcarriers to 36 subcarriers. The frequency hopping pattern between the symbol groups needs to be updated based on the increase of the number of subcarriers of the frequency hopping interval and the frequency hopping restriction. In order to improve the performance of the NB-IoT system covering a larger cell radius, the new format random access preamble can transmit more symbol groups in a repetition time, that is, a new format random access preamble, which can Includes at least 4 symbol groups.

In addition, the method for transmitting the random access preamble may be that each symbol group is sent by using a single carrier, or each symbol group is sent by using multiple carriers. Based on the two transmission modes, the present application provides three frequency hopping schemes: Frequency hopping scheme of random access preamble of carrier; frequency hopping scheme of random access preamble based on multi-carrier; frequency hopping scheme of random access preamble based on single carrier and multi-carrier coexistence. For these three frequency hopping schemes, the present application provides different methods for transmitting random access preambles. The method for transmitting the random access preamble provided by the present application is described in detail below in combination with each frequency hopping scheme:

First, single carrier frequency hopping scheme

For a single carrier frequency hopping scheme: the random access preamble consists of L symbol groups, L is a positive integer greater than 4, and each symbol group consists of 1 CP and E symbols, where E is a positive integer, one symbol The duration is the reciprocal of the subcarrier bandwidth. There is frequency hopping between each adjacent two symbol groups, and each symbol group is transmitted through one subcarrier frequency. The format of each symbol group can be referred to Figure 5.

a可以为实数，比如1或者-1，a也可以为复数，比如j或 者-j，其中j表示虚数单位，满足j²＝-1。The sequence carried on each symbol in the symbol group may be the same. For example, the sequence carried on each symbol is a, and the sequence in which E symbols can be carried is

a can be a real number, such as 1 or -1, and a can also be a complex number, such as j or -j, where j represents an imaginary unit and satisfies j ² =-1.

For any two symbol groups in the L symbol groups, the symbol group A and the symbol group B are recorded, and the first symbol of the symbol group A and the sequence of the first symbol of the symbol group B may be the same, and the symbol group A The second symbol and the sequence carried on the second symbol of the symbol group B may be the same... the Eth symbol of the symbol group A and the sequence carried by the Eth symbol of the symbol group B may be the same, such as the symbol group A and the symbol The sequence carried by each symbol on group B is a, a can be a real number, such as 1 or -1, and a can also be a complex number, such as j or -j, where j represents an imaginary unit and satisfies j ² =-1.

For any two symbol groups in the L symbol groups, denoted as symbol group A and symbol group B, the first symbol of symbol group A and the sequence of symbol group B may be different, and the symbol group A The sequence of the second symbol and the second symbol of the symbol group B may be different. The E-th symbol of the symbol group A and the sequence carried by the E-th symbol of the symbol group B may be different, for example, each symbol group A The sequences carried by the symbols are all a, a can be a real number, such as 1 or -1, and a can also be a complex number, such as j or -j, where j represents an imaginary unit and satisfies j ² =-1. Each symbol in symbol group B carries a sequence of b, b and a are different, b can be a real number, such as 1 or -1, b can also be a complex number, such as j or -j, where j represents an imaginary unit, satisfying j ² = -1.

In the single-carrier frequency hopping scheme, the L symbol groups are divided into groups for every 4 symbol groups, including the following two methods:

Manner 1: The L symbol groups are composed of N groups, and each group includes 4 symbol groups, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.

In order to facilitate the description of the hopping pattern of the random access preamble composed of 4N symbol groups, some symbols are introduced below for presentation. Referring to FIG. 7, the random access preamble is grouped into four groups of four symbol groups, and the groups are recorded in time series as group 1, group 2, ..., group N. Within each group, the symbol groups are recorded in chronological order as symbol group 1, symbol group 2, symbol group 3, and symbol group 4. The frequency points of symbol group 1, symbol group 2, symbol group 3, and symbol group 4 are f _1k , f _2k , f _3k , f _4k , and the frequency hopping interval between symbol group 1 and symbol group 2 is Δ _1k , the symbol The frequency hopping interval between group 2 and symbol group 3 is Δ _2k , the frequency hopping interval between symbol group 3 and symbol group 4 is Δ _3k , and the random access preamble subcarrier bandwidth is Δf, where k represents the group index. The value of k ranges from k=1, 2, ..., N. The frequency hopping interval between the two groups is Δ _g . For example, Δ ₁ indicates the frequency hopping interval between group 1 and group 2, and g ranges from g=1, 2, ..., N-1. For the sake of brevity, the relevant hopping intervals of group 1 and the frequency points of each symbol group are labeled in FIG.

Based on the above markings, the frequency position of each symbol group of the random access preamble can be expressed as:

Optionally, the frequency of symbol group 1 is f _1k , the frequency of symbol group 2 is f _2k =f _1k +Δ _1k , the frequency of symbol group 3 is f _3k =f _2k +Δ _2k , and the frequency of symbol group 4 Is f _4k = f _3k + Δ _3k .

(a) For the frequency hopping interval within the group:

Optionally, any one of the N groups: the hopping interval between the symbol groups is at least two, and any one of the hopping intervals is an integer multiple of the subcarrier bandwidth.

Optionally, the subcarrier bandwidth is 3.75/n KHz, where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.

Optionally, the subcarrier bandwidth is 1.25 KHz.

Alternatively, Δ _1k , Δ _2k and Δ _3k are integer multiples of the subcarrier bandwidth Δf. Δ _1k and Δ _{3k are} smaller than Δ _2k , and Δ _1k and Δ _3k − may be equal and may be unequal.

Preferably, Δ _1k = Δ _3k and less than Δ _2k .

For example, Δ ₁₁ = 1.25 kHz, Δ ₂₁ = 7.5 kHz, and Δ ₃₁ = 3.75 kHz. For another example, Δ ₁₁ = 1.25 kHz, Δ ₂₁ = 7.5 kHz, and Δ ₃₁ = 1.25 kHz. For another example, Δ ₁₁ = 1.25 kHz, Δ ₂₁ = 22.5 kHz, and Δ ₃₁ = 1.25 kHz.

(b) For frequency hopping intervals between different groups:

Optionally, at least one hopping interval between the symbol groups of one of the N groups is different from at least one hopping interval between the symbol groups of the other group of the N groups.

For example, at least two groups p and q between different groups satisfy Δ _1p ≠ Δ _1q , Δ _2p ≠ Δ _2q , Δ _3p ≠ Δ _3q .

Furthermore, the frequency hopping interval between the two groups can be expressed as: Δ _g = f _{1 (g + 1)} - f _4g or Δ _g = f _4g - f _{1 (g + 1)} . Where f _{1 (g+1)} is the frequency point of the symbol group 1 of the latter group, and f _4g is the frequency point of the symbol group 4 of the previous group.

Optionally, the hopping interval between the groups of the N groups is an integer multiple of the subcarrier bandwidth.

Optionally, when the hopping interval between the groups and the group number group in the group is an integer multiple of the subcarrier bandwidth, each group is determined according to the random access configuration information and the preset rule. The frequency point information of the symbol group. Optionally, the frequency point information is determined by determining a subcarrier index number of the starting subcarrier according to the time-frequency resource configuration parameter included in the random access configuration information, and determining, according to the starting subcarrier a carrier index number, a symbol group index number of the first symbol group of the random access preamble, and a pseudo random sequence, determining a frequency point position of the first symbol group; determining according to the multiple index expressions a frequency hopping interval and a frequency hopping direction of each of the L symbol groups with respect to a previous symbol group; according to a frequency point position of the first symbol group and each symbol group relative to a previous symbol group The frequency hopping interval and the frequency hopping direction determine the frequency point positions of the L symbol groups.

The preset rule includes a plurality of index expressions, where the index expression is an index expression of a frequency point position of the current symbol group, and the index expression is used to indicate that the current symbol group is relative to a previous symbol. The index relationship between the frequency hopping interval and the frequency hopping direction of the group, the frequency point position of the previous symbol group, and the symbol group index number of the current symbol group.

Optionally, pseudo-random frequency hopping is used between the two groups. When the two groups adopt the pseudo-random frequency hopping, the frequency point information of each symbol group of each group is determined according to the random access configuration information and the preset rule, and the frequency point information is determined by: a time-frequency resource configuration parameter included in the random access configuration information, determining a sub-carrier index number of the starting sub-carrier; a sub-carrier index number of the starting sub-carrier, and a symbol of the first symbol group of the current group a group index number and a pseudo-random sequence, determining a frequency point position of the first symbol group of the current group; determining, according to the plurality of index expressions, each symbol group of the current group relative to a front Frequency hopping interval and frequency hopping direction of a symbol group; Determining the current group according to a frequency point position of the first symbol group of the current group and a frequency hopping interval and a frequency hopping direction of each symbol group of the current group with respect to a previous symbol group.

The pseudo random sequence c may be an m sequence, an M sequence, a gold sequence, or the like. The initialization seed of the pseudo-random sequence c is a function of the cell identity or cell identity.

(c) Frequency hopping directions in different groups:

Optionally, for any one of the N groups:

The frequency hopping direction of the second symbol group in the group relative to the first symbol group is opposite to the hopping direction of the fourth symbol group in the group with respect to the third symbol group; There are two hopping intervals, the hopping interval of the second symbol group relative to the first symbol group is equal to the hopping interval of the fourth symbol group in the group with respect to the third symbol group; The hopping interval is smaller than the hopping interval of the third symbol group relative to the second symbol group.

The hopping direction of the second symbol group in the group relative to the first symbol group may be the same as the hopping direction of the third symbol group in the group with respect to the second symbol group, or may be different.

Different groups: the hopping direction of the second symbol group relative to the first symbol group may be the same or different. The hopping direction of the third symbol group relative to the second symbol group may be the same or different.

Different groups: the hopping interval of the second symbol group relative to the first symbol group may be the same or different, and the hopping interval of the third symbol group relative to the second symbol group may be the same or different. .

It should be noted that, when the terminal device sends the random access preamble to the network device, the 4N symbol groups of the random access preamble may be continuous or discontinuous in time, as shown in FIG. 14.

It should be noted that, when the terminal device needs to repeatedly send the random access preamble to the network device according to the configured repetition number, the different duplicate copies of the random access preamble may be consecutive in time, or may be For discontinuity, refer to Figure 16.

In the above embodiment, the single-carrier frequency hopping method has a low Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) PAPR, which helps improve the performance of the entire system and can support more user multiplexing at the same time.

In the foregoing embodiment, each random access preamble is divided into multiple groups, and each group includes four symbol groups, so that the frequency hopping pattern of each group includes a frequency hopping interval and a frequency hopping direction. It can inherit the characteristics of the prior art and help simplify the design.

In the foregoing embodiment, the format of the random access preamble, including the time length of the cyclic prefix, and the time length of each symbol support a narrower subcarrier bandwidth, and the hopping interval may also be a narrower subcarrier bandwidth, for example, 1.25 kHz, can support a larger cell radius.

The frequency hopping pattern of the random access preamble in the foregoing embodiment will be described below by taking the subcarrier bandwidth Δf=1.25 kHz as an example. If the random access preamble consists of 8 symbol groups based on single carrier frequency hopping. 8 is two random access preambles (random access preamble #1 and random access preamble #2, indicating random access preambles transmitted by two different terminal devices at the same time, respectively represented by different padding In the example of frequency hopping in one repetition period, #0 to #35 in Fig. 8 represent 36 subcarriers, and the subcarrier bandwidth is 1.25 kHz. Both the random access preamble #1 and the random access preamble #2 are composed of 8 symbol groups, and 8 symbol groups are regarded as 2 groups, and there are 4 symbol groups in each group. Four hopping intervals are preset, 1.25 kHz, 7.5 kHz, 3.75 kHz, 22.5 kHz. Two different hopping intervals are included in each group, Δ ₁₁ = 1.25 kHz, Δ ₂₁ = 7.5 kHz, Δ ₃₁ = 1.25 kHz in Group 1. In group 2, Δ ₁₂ = 3.75 kHz, Δ ₂₂ = 22.5 kHz, and Δ ₃₂ = 3.75 kHz. The frequency hopping interval between the two groups is Δ ₁ = 7.5 kHz.

It can be seen from FIG. 8 that, first, each group includes two different hopping intervals; secondly, the frequency hopping direction between the first symbol group and the second symbol group in group 1 is The hopping direction between the third symbol group and the fourth symbol group is reversed; again, the hopping interval between the first symbol group and the second symbol group in group 1 is the same as the third symbol group and The hopping interval between the fourth symbol groups is the same. The hopping pattern shown in FIG. 8 has the advantage that the phase accumulation due to the frequency offset can be eliminated by differential accumulation, thereby improving the reliability of the ToA estimation. In addition, the hopping interval between group 1 and group 2 is equal to the hopping interval between the second symbol group and the third symbol group in group 1, and a similar effect can be achieved.

This has the advantage of increasing the utilization of frequency domain resources.

For example, at least two groups p and q between different groups satisfy Δ _1p ≠ Δ _1q , Δ _2p ≠ Δ _2q , Δ _3p ≠ Δ _3q .

Furthermore, the frequency hopping interval between the two groups can be expressed as: Δ _g = f _{1 (g + 1)} - f _4g or Δ _g = f _4g - f _{1 (g + 1)} .

In the above embodiment, the single-carrier frequency hopping method has a low Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) PAPR, which helps improve the performance of the entire system and can support more user multiplexing at the same time.

In the above embodiment, each random access preamble is divided into a plurality of groups, wherein one group includes less than 4 symbol groups, and each of the remaining groups includes 4 symbol groups, thus including 4 symbol groups. The frequency hopping pattern of the group, including the frequency hopping interval and the frequency hopping direction, can inherit the characteristics of the prior art and help simplify the design.

In the foregoing embodiment, the format of the random access preamble, including the time length of the cyclic prefix, and the time length of each symbol support a narrower subcarrier bandwidth, and the hopping interval may also be a narrower subcarrier bandwidth, for example, 1.25 kHz, can support a larger cell radius.

The frequency hopping pattern of the random access preamble in the above embodiment will be described below by taking the subcarrier bandwidth Δf=1.25 kHz as an example. The random access preamble consists of 6 symbol groups based on single carrier frequency hopping. 10 is two random access preambles (random access preamble #1 and random access preamble #2, indicating that random access preambles transmitted by two different terminal devices at the same time are respectively represented by different padding) In the example of frequency hopping in one repetition period, #0 to #35 in Fig. 10 indicate 36 subcarriers, and the subcarrier bandwidth is 1.25 kHz. Both the random access preamble #1 and the random access preamble #2 are composed of 6 symbol groups, and 6 symbol groups are regarded as 2 groups, one group includes 2 symbol groups, and one group includes 4 symbol groups. Symbol group. Three hopping intervals are preset, 1.25 kHz, 3.75 kHz, 22.5 kHz. Similar to the above description, 6 symbol groups can be considered as 2 groups. Δ ₁₀ = 1.25 kHz in group 0, Δ ₁₁ = 3.75 kHz in group 1, Δ ₂₁ = 22.5 kHz, and Δ ₃₁ = 3.75 kHz. The frequency hopping interval between the two groups is Δ ₁ = 1.25 kHz.

The frequency hopping direction between the symbol groups is opposite to the frequency hopping direction between the third symbol group and the fourth symbol group; again, except for group 0, the first symbol group and the second group of the remaining groups The hopping interval between symbol groups is the same as the hopping interval between the third symbol group and the fourth symbol group. In addition to group 0, the hopping patterns of the other groups can eliminate the phase influence due to frequency offset by differential accumulation, thereby improving the reliability of ToA estimation. In addition, the hopping interval between groups is equal to the hopping interval between the second symbol group and the third symbol group of the group, and a similar effect can be achieved.

In addition, in FIG. 10, the random access preamble #2 and the random access preamble #1 hopping pattern are symmetric with each other, and the frequency hopping interval between the six symbol groups of the random access preamble #2, and random access The hopping interval between the six symbol groups of preamble #1 is the same in time, but the frequency hopping direction of the first symbol group and the second symbol group in group 0 of the random access preamble #2, and The first symbol group in group 0 of random access preamble #1 is opposite to the frequency hopping direction of the second symbol group; the first symbol group and the second one in group 1 of random access preamble #2 The frequency hopping direction of the symbol group is opposite to the hopping direction of the first symbol group and the second symbol group in the group 1 of the random access preamble #1; the group 1 in the random access preamble #2 The frequency hopping direction of the three symbol groups and the fourth symbol group is opposite to the hopping direction of the third symbol group and the fourth symbol group in the group 1 of the random access preamble #1. This has the advantage of increasing the utilization of frequency domain resources.

The method for transmitting a random access preamble is applied to the NB-IoT system, as shown in FIG. 6, the method for transmitting a random access preamble according to the foregoing two-carrier scheme. include:

Step S102: The terminal device determines, according to the random access configuration information and a preset rule, frequency point information of a random access preamble sent to the network device, where the frequency point information includes the L symbol groups. Corresponding frequency points;

Step S103: The terminal device sends a random access preamble to the network device according to the frequency point information according to the format.

In step S102, there are two schemes for determining the frequency point information of the random access preamble.

(1) An implementation scheme based on the frequency hopping interval between all symbol groups being an integer multiple of the subcarrier bandwidth.

For the case where the hopping interval between the symbol groups is an integer multiple of the subcarrier bandwidth, the terminal device and the network device pass the protocol, and the two parties agree on the following preset rules:

The preset rule includes a plurality of index expressions, where the index expression is an index expression of a frequency point position of a current symbol group, and the index expression is used to indicate that the current symbol group is relative to a previous symbol group. The index relationship between the frequency hopping interval and the frequency hopping direction, the frequency point position of the previous symbol group, and the symbol group index number of the current symbol group.

The random access configuration information includes a time-frequency resource configuration parameter of a random access preamble, and the time-frequency resource configuration parameter includes at least a random access preamble format index or a CP length, a random access resource period, and a starting subcarrier frequency domain. Location, the number of subcarriers allocated for random access, the number of repetitions of random access, the start time of random access, the maximum number of retransmissions of random access preamble, and the RSRP threshold.

When the hopping interval between the symbol groups is an integer multiple of the subcarrier bandwidth, step S102 specifically includes:

Determining, according to the time-frequency resource configuration parameter, a subcarrier index number of the starting subcarrier;

Determining a frequency point position of the first symbol group according to a subcarrier index number of the starting subcarrier, a symbol group index number of a first symbol group of the random access preamble, and a pseudo random sequence;

Determining, according to the plurality of index expressions, a hopping interval and a frequency hopping direction of each of the L symbol groups with respect to a previous symbol group;

And determining a frequency point position of the L symbol groups according to a frequency point position of the first symbol group and a frequency hopping interval and a frequency hopping direction of each symbol group with respect to a previous symbol group.

According to the index expression of the second row to the ninth row, the hopping interval and the hopping direction of the i-th symbol group with respect to the i-1th symbol group can be determined.

在确定首个随机接入前导码的第一个符号组的频点位置时，对于第一行的索引表达式，重复0的第一个符号组的符号组索引号i＝0，f(i/8)＝f(0)。It should be noted that the random access preamble can be repeatedly transmitted at time. The number of repetitions of the random access preamble is determined by the random access configuration parameters. Assume that the number of repetitions of the random access preamble is W, and W is a positive integer. The random access preambles that are repeatedly transmitted are sequentially recorded as repeat 0, repeat 1, ... repeat W-1. The foregoing multiple index expressions are used to calculate the frequency of the ith symbol group of the random access preamble transmitted when the configured repetition number is 1.

When determining the frequency position of the first symbol group of the first random access preamble, for the index expression of the first line, repeat the symbol group index number of the first symbol group of 0, i=0, f(i /8)=f(0).

比如重复次数配置为4，则在确定重复0的第一个符号组的频点位置时，对于第一行的索引表达式，重复0的第一个符号组的符号组索引号i＝0，f(i/8)＝f(0)；在确定重复1的第一个符号组的频点位置时，对于第一行的索引表达式，重复1的第一个符号组的符号组索引号i＝8，f(i/8)＝f(1)。在确定重复2的第一个符号组的频点位置时，对于第一行的索引表达式，重复2的随机接入前导码的第一个符号组的符号组索引号i＝16，f(i/8)＝f(2)。再比如，在确定重复3的第一个符号组的频点位置时，对于第一行的索引表达式，重复3的随机接入前导码的第一个符号组的符号组索引号i＝24，f(i/8)＝f(3)。The above multiple index expressions are also applicable to calculating the frequency of the ith symbol group of the random access preamble whose number of repetitions is greater than one.

For example, when the number of repetitions is configured to be 4, when determining the frequency position of the first symbol group of the repetition 0, for the index expression of the first line, the symbol group index number i=0 of the first symbol group of 0 is repeated. f(i/8)=f(0); when determining the frequency position of the first symbol group of repetition 1, repeating the symbol group index number of the first symbol group of 1 for the index expression of the first line i=8, f(i/8)=f(1). When determining the frequency position of the first symbol group of repetition 2, for the index expression of the first line, repeat the symbol group index number i=16,f of the first symbol group of the random access preamble of 2 i/8) = f (2). For another example, when determining the frequency position of the first symbol group of the repetition 3, for the index expression of the first line, repeat the symbol group index number i=24 of the first symbol group of the random access preamble of 3. , f(i/8)=f(3).

It should be noted that the above expressions are only examples, and do not limit the specific expression of the index expression. Other forms of expression are also within the scope of the present application.

在确定首个随机接入前导码的第一个符号组的频点位置时，对于第一行的索引表达式，重复0的第一个符号组的符号组索引号i＝0，f(i/6)＝f(0)。It is worth noting that the random access preamble can be sent repeatedly at the time. The number of repetitions of the random access preamble is determined by the random access configuration parameters. Assume that the number of repetitions of the random access preamble is W, and W is a positive integer. The random access preambles that are repeatedly transmitted are sequentially recorded as repeat 0, repeat 1, ... repeat W-1. The foregoing multiple index expressions are used to calculate the frequency of the ith symbol group of the random access preamble with the number of repetitions of 1 transmitted.

When determining the frequency position of the first symbol group of the first random access preamble, for the index expression of the first line, repeat the symbol group index number of the first symbol group of 0, i=0, f(i /6)=f(0).

比如，配置的重复次数为3，则在确定重复0的第一个符号组的频点位置时，对于第一行的索引表达式，重复0的第一个符号组的符号组索引号i＝0，f(i/6)＝f(0)；在确定重复1的第一个符号组的频点位置时，对于第一行的索引表达式，重复1的第一个符号组的符号组索引号i＝6，f(i/6)＝f(1)。再比如，在确定重复2的第一个符号组的频点位置时，对于第一行的索引表达式，重复2的第一个符号组的符号组索引号i＝12，f(i/6)＝f(2)。The above multiple index expressions are also applicable to calculating the frequency of the ith symbol group of the random access preamble whose number of repetitions is greater than one.

For example, if the number of repetitions of the configuration is 3, when determining the frequency position of the first symbol group of the repetition 0, for the index expression of the first line, repeat the symbol group index number of the first symbol group of 0 i= 0, f(i/6)=f(0); when determining the frequency position of the first symbol group of repetition 1, repeating the symbol group of the first symbol group of 1 for the index expression of the first line Index number i=6, f(i/6)=f(1). For another example, when determining the frequency position of the first symbol group of the repetition 2, for the index expression of the first line, repeat the symbol group index number of the first symbol group of 2 i=12, f(i/6 ) = f (2).

It should be noted that the above expressions are only examples, and do not limit the specific expression of the index expression. Other forms of expression are also within the scope of the present application.

Location, the number of subcarriers allocated for random access, the number of repetitions of random access, the start time of random access, the maximum number of retransmissions of random access preamble, and the RSRP threshold.

The number of repetitions of the random access preamble is determined by the random access configuration parameters. Assume that the number of repetitions of the random access preamble is W, and W is a positive integer. The random access preambles that are repeatedly transmitted are sequentially recorded as repeat 0, repeat 1, ... repeat W-1.

For example, when the number of repetitions is configured to be 2, when determining the frequency position of the first symbol group in the current group of the repeat 0, the first expression in the first group of 0 is repeated for the index expression of the first line. The symbol group index number of the symbol group is i=0, f(i/4)=f(0), and the symbol group index number of the first symbol group in the second group of the repetition 0 is i=4, f(i /4)=f(1); When determining the frequency position of the first symbol group in the current group of repetition 1, for the index expression of the first line, repeat the first in the first group of 1.

在确定首个随机接入前导码的第一个符号组的第k个子载波的频点位置时，对于第一行的索引表达式，重复为0的随机接入前导码的第一个符号组的符号组索引号i＝0，f(i/4)＝f(0)。It is worth noting that the random access preamble can be sent repeatedly at the time. The number of repetitions of the random access preamble is determined by the random access configuration parameters. Assume that the number of repetitions of the random access preamble is W, and W is a positive integer. The random access preambles that are repeatedly transmitted are sequentially recorded as repeat 0, repeat 1, ... repeat W-1. The foregoing multiple index expressions are used to calculate the frequency of the kth subcarrier of the ith symbol group of the random access preamble whose transmission repetition number is configured to 0.

For example, the number of repetitions is configured to be 3. When determining the frequency position of the kth subcarrier of the first symbol group of the repetition 0, the first of the random access preambles of 0 is repeated for the index expression of the first row. Symbol group index number i=0, f(i/4)=f(0) of the symbol group; when determining the frequency position of the kth subcarrier of the first symbol group of the random access preamble of repetition 1 For the index expression of the first row, the symbol group index number i=4, f(i/4)=f(1) of the first symbol group of the random access preamble of 1 is repeated. For another example, when determining the frequency position of the kth subcarrier of the first symbol group of the random access preamble of repetition 2, repeating the first of the random access preamble of 2 for the index expression of the first row The symbol group index number of each symbol group is i=8, f(i/4)=f(2).

It should be noted that the above expressions are only examples, and do not limit the specific expression of the index expression. Other forms of expression are also within the scope of the present application.
