Abstract
一种通信的方法及终端设备,所述方法包括:生成一个或多个无线帧,所述每个无线帧包括至少一个复用块,每个复用块包括同步信号和PBCH域,所述PBCH域包括用于指示波束的信息,然后将所述无线帧发送至终端设备。通过采用本方案,能够减少下行系统的开销。
Description
本发明涉及无线技术领域,尤其涉及一种通信的方法及终端设备。
在高频通信系统中,基站和终端设备之间需要进行波束对准,并且基站需要遍历所有方向的波束以保证高频通信系统的全向覆盖。在波束对准过程中,基站通过波束向终端设备发送波束的波束标识(英文全称:beam Identify,英文简称:beam ID),终端设备通过测量选择了基站的某些波束后,会将选择的波束的beam ID反馈给基站,使得基站与终端设备之间能够通过终端设备选择的波束进行交互。由于基站覆盖范围内的波束较多,基站需要对数量庞大的波束进行编号,从而导致下发beam ID需要占用较多资源。
发明内容
本发明提供了一种通信的方法及终端设备,能够解决现有技术中波束的标识占用资源较多的问题。
第一方面提供一种通信的方法,该方法为:网络侧设备生成至少一个无线帧,所述无线帧包括至少一个正交频分复用OFDM符号,其中,所述至少一个OFDM符号中的第一OFDM符号包括同步信号和物理广播信道PBCH域,所述PBCH域包括用于指示波束的信息。
可选地,其中,所述用于指示波束的信息为第一OFDM符号的索引信息,所述第一OFDM符号的索引信息包括第一OFDM符号的符号标识或者第一OFDM符号的编号。
或者,所述用于指示波束的信息包括波束的索引信息,所述波束的索引信息为波束的标识或者波束的编号。其中,波束的索引信息也可以解释为同步块时间索引SS block time index或者同步块索引SS block index。
或者,所述用于指示波束的信息为同步块时间索引SS block time index或者同步块索引SS block index。其中,SS block time index可以用于指示该SS block是属于SS block burst set中的第几个block,SS block time index也可以用于指示该SS block是属于该SS block burst中的第几个block。
其中,同步信号可包括主同步信号和辅同步信号。
然后通过波束将所述无线帧发送至终端设备,使得终端设备通过检测无线帧中的PBCH域,获取到用于指示波束的信息,然后根据获取到的用于指示波束的信息识别波束。
与现有机制相比,本发明通过将用于指示波束的信息携带在PBCH域中,在不需要扩展同步信号的前提下,不需要占用额外的子载波,该方案减少了下行系统开销。
第二方面提供一种通信的方法,在网络侧设备将生成的无线帧下发给终端设备,终端设备接收来自网络侧设备的无线帧,所述无线帧包括至少一个正交频分复用OFDM符号,其中,所述至少一个OFDM符号的第一OFDM符号包括同步信号和物理广播信道PBCH域,所述PBCH域包括用于指示波束的信息。
其中,用于指示波束的信息可以是同步块时间索引SS block time index或者同步块索引SS block index。其中,SS block time index可以用于指示该SS block是属于SS block burst set中的第几个block。
在检测出用于指示波束的信息后,终端设备根据所述用于指示波束的信息,获取波束的标识,然后将所述波束的标识发送至所述网络侧设备,使得网络侧设备在后续通过该波束的标识对应的波束与该终端设备交互。
若所述用于指示波束的信息为第一OFDM符号的索引信息,则终端设备可根据从无线帧中检测出的第一OFDM符号的索引信息,以及接收所述第一OFDM符号的天线端口号,获取所述波束的标识。
若所述用于指示波束的信息为波束的索引信息,则终端设备可直接通过波束的索引信息获取波束的标识。
若用于指示波束的信息为第一OFDM符号的索引信息,则终端设备可根据所述第一OFDM符号的索引信息和接收所述第一OFDM符号的天线端口号、所述无线帧的帧号以及所述第一OFDM符号所在的子帧对应的子帧号,获取所述波束的标识。
与现有机制相比,终端设备在识别波束时,只需要有针对性的侦听物理广播信道即可直接对接收到的PBCH域进行解调,从而简化终端设备解调的复杂度,一定程度上也能减少盲检,并且接收物理广播信道信息也能提高传输的可靠性。此外,PBCH域所占用的资源比较少,能够减少下行系统的开销。
第三方面提供一种通信的方法,网络侧设备生成至少一个无线帧,所述无线帧包括至少一个复用块,所述复用块包括物理广播信道PBCH域和同步信号,所述PBCH域包括用于指示波束的信息,所述同步信号包括主同步信号和辅同步信号。所述用于指示波束的信息可包括第一OFDM符号的索引信息、复用块的索引信息和波束的索引信息中的至少一项。
然后,网络侧设备将生成的无线帧通过波束发送至终端设备,其中,无线帧中的每一个所述复用块都承载在相同的波束发送至所述终端设备。
与现有机制相比,本发明通过将用于指示波束的信息携带在广播信号的PBCH域中,所占的资源空间更小,从而达到减少该用于指示波束的信息的资源占用空间的目的。并且通过PBCH域传输用于指示波束的信息,能够使得终端设备直接对接收到的PBCH域进行解调,从而简化终端设备解调的复杂度。
可选地,还可以设置所述广播信号与所述同步信号频分复用或时分复用,还可以设置所述主同步信号与所述辅同步信号频分复用或时分复用,具体的无线帧结构本发明不作限定。

在检测出用于指示波束的信息后,终端设备根据所述用于指示波束的信息,获取波束的标识,然后将所述波束的标识发送至所述网络侧设备,使得网络侧设备在后续通过该波束的标识对应的波束与该终端设备交互。
若所述用于指示波束的信息为第一OFDM符号的索引信息,则终端设备可根据从无线帧中检测出的第一OFDM符号的索引信息,以及接收所述第一OFDM符号的天线端口号,获取所述波束的标识。
若所述用于指示波束的信息为波束的索引信息,则终端设备可直接通过波束的索引信息获
取波束的标识。
若用于指示波束的信息为第一OFDM符号的索引信息,则终端设备可根据所述第一OFDM符号的索引信息和接收所述第一OFDM符号的天线端口号、所述无线帧的帧号以及所述第一OFDM符号所在的子帧对应的子帧号,获取所述波束的标识。
若用于指示波束的信息为第一OFDM符号的索引信息,则终端设备可根据所述复用块的索引信息和接收所述第一OFDM符号的天线端口号、所述无线帧的帧号以及所述第一OFDM符号所在的子帧对应的子帧号,获取所述波束的标识。
与现有机制相比,终端设备在识别波束时,只需要有针对性的侦听物理广播信道即可直接对接收到的PBCH域进行解调,从而简化终端设备解调的复杂度,一定程度上也能减少盲检,并且接收物理广播信道信息也能提高传输的可靠性。此外,PBCH域所占用的资源比较少,能够减少资源的开销。

本发明实施例提供了一种通信的方法及终端设备,用于授权频谱或非授权频谱。以下进行详细说明。
本发明实施例中的网络侧设备为一种将终端设备接入到无线网络的设备,又称之为基站,包括但不限于:演进型节点B(英文全称:evolved Node Base,英文简称:eNB)、无线网络控制器(英文全称:Radio Network Controller,英文简称:RNC)、节点B(英文全称:Node B,英文简称:NB)、基站控制器(英文全称:Base Station Controller,英文简称:BSC)、基站收发台(英文全称:Base Transceiver Station,英文简称:BTS)、家庭基站(例如,Home evolved NodeB,或Home Node B,英文简称:HNB)、基带单元(英文全称:BaseBand Unit,英文简称:BBU)。
本发明实施例涉及的终端设备,可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备,具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备。终端设备可以经无线接入网(英文全称:Radio Access Network,英文简称:RAN)与一个或多个核心网进行通信,终端设备可以是移动终端,如移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)和具有移动终端的计算机,例如,可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置,它们与无线接入网交换语言和/或数据。例如,个人通信业务(英文全称:Personal Communication Service,英文简称:PCS)电话、无绳电话、会话发起协议(SIP)话机、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop,英文简称:WLL)站、个人数字助理(英文全称:Personal Digital Assistant,英文简称:PDA)等设备。无线终端也可以称为系统、订户单元(Subscriber Unit)、订户站(Subscriber Station),
移动站(Mobile Station)、移动台(Mobile)、远程站(Remote Station)、接入点(Access Point)、远程终端(Remote Terminal)、接入终端(Access Terminal)、用户终端(User Terminal)、终端设备、用户代理(User Agent)、用户设备(User Device)、或用户装备(User Equipment)。
网络侧设备会周期性的向覆盖范围下的终端设备发送同步信号和广播信号,使得终端设备根据接收到的同步信号与网络侧设备同步,并做好接收广播信道信息的准备。其中,同步信号包括主同步信号(英文全称:Primary Synchronization Signal,英文简称:PSS)和辅同步信号(英文全称:Secondary Synchronization Signal,英文简称:SSS),在终端设备接入网络侧设备的过程中,需要搜索PSS和SSS,其中,PSS使用自相关特性(英文全称:zadoff-chu,英文简称:ZC)序列产生,用于区别扇区,SSS使用伪随机序列产生,用于区别基站。
该终端设备也可以是网络侧设备覆盖范围之外的远端终端设备,若远端终端设备要接入该网络侧设备,可通过中继设备来实现,具体本发明不作赘述。
为解决上述技术问题,本发明实施例主要提供以下技术方案:
方案一、将用于指示波束的信息携带在无线帧中的部分正交频分复用(英文全称:Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,英文简称:OFDM)符号中,该部分的OFDM符号包括同步信号和物理广播信道(英文全称:Physical Boardcast Channel,英文简称:PBCH)域,然后将无线帧下发给终端设备,在不扩展OFDM符号的前提下,使用PBCH域实现波束的信息的下发,不需要占用额外的子载波,该方案一减少了下行系统开销,即一定程度上节约携带波束的信息所占的资源空间。
需要说明的是,无线帧可以是:包括至少两个子帧,每个子帧包括多个OFDM符号。无线帧还可以是:直接包括多个OFDM符号。本发明实施例不限于具体的帧格式,对帧格式不清楚的地方,可以参考现有LTE的时分复用(英文全称:Time Duplex Division,英文简称:TDD)帧。
方案二、将广播信号与同步信号组成一个复用块,在广播信号的PBCH域中携带用于指示波束的信息,然后下发给终端设备,该PBCH域与同步信号可以频分复用或者时分复用,同一个复用块使用相同的一个或至少两个波束发送给终端设备,由于广播信号的编码调制方式与同步信号的编码调制方式不同,相较于同步信号的编码调制方式,使用广播信号的PBCH域携带用于指示波束的信息,能够减少用于指示波束的信息的资源占用空间。由此可见,通过这种方式下发复用块,同样能节省资源,也能够降低终端设备解调的复杂度。此外,该复用块也可称之为合成信号或者资源块,具体名称本发明不作限定。
通过以上两种方案,既能减少携带用于指示波束的信息所需的资源,由于PBCH域的传输特性,一定程度上还能提高该信息的可靠性。
请参照图1,以下对本发明提供一种通信的方法进行举例说明,网络侧设备通过遍历各方向的波束以保证一定范围内的覆盖(包括全向覆盖或定向覆盖),网络侧设备需要为这些方向的波束设计波束ID,并将波束ID发送给各终端设备,以便终端设备通过波束扫描、监听物理广播信道等方式识别波束的波束ID。本发明实施例包括:
101、网络侧设备生成至少一个无线帧。
其中,每个所述无线帧包括至少一个OFDM符号,该无线帧至少存在部分包括同步信号和PBCH域的OFDM符号。
网络侧设备主要通过以下两种方式将用于指示波束的信息的信息下发给终端设备。
方式一中:将用于指示波束的信息放置于包含同步信号的OFDM符号的PBCH域中。
比如,如图2所示,第一OFDM符号为子帧号=0的子帧中的任意OFDM符号和子帧号=25的子帧中的OFDM符号,可分别在子帧号=0的子帧中的第一OFDM符号和索引号=25的子帧的第一OFDM符号中的PBCH域设置用于指示波束的信息。
方式二中:将广播信号与同步信号组成一个复用块,一个复用块可包括至少一个OFDM符号,并在该广播信号的PBCH域中携带用于指示波束的信息。
相应的,在方式二中,每个所述无线帧包括至少一个复用块,所述复用块包括广播信号和同步信号,所述广播信号的PBCH域包括用于指示波束的信息,在包括多个复用块时,多个复用块中至少存在两个在时域上连续的复用块。所述用于指示波束的信息包括第一OFDM符号的索引信息、复用块的索引信息和波束的索引信息中的至少一项。其中,每一个复用块可通过相同的一个波束或者至少两个波束进行发送,即每个复用块中的每一个OFDM符号都采用相同的一个波束或至少两个波束进行发送。且多个复用块中至少存在两个复用块通过不同的波束发送,即所述至少两个复用块携带的波束编号不同,所述至少两个复用块携带的用于指示波束编号的参考信号序列不同,或所述至少两个复用块携带的用于指示波束编号的参考信号资源编号不同。
在实际应用场景中,所述广播信号可与所述同步信号可频分复用或时分复用,同步信号包括PSS及SSS,且可选的,每个复用块中的包括的PSS及SSS个数均为1个。如图3中的(a)和(d)为广播信号与同步信号时分复用的一种无线帧结构,复用块1和复用块2均由PSS、SSS和PBCH域组成,复用块1中的PBCH域与PSS、SSS频分复用。如图3中的(b)和(c)为广播信号与同步信号频分复用的一种无线帧结构,复用块1和复用块2均由PSS、SSS和PBCH域组成,复用块1中的PBCH域与PSS、SSS频分复用。
此外,由于所述同步信号包括主同步信号和辅同步信号,那么方式二中,所述主同步信号可与所述辅同步信号频分复用或时分复用,如图3中的(a)、(b)和(d)为PSS域SSS时分复用的一种无线帧结构,图3中的(c)则是PSS与SSS频分复用的一种无线帧结构。方式一和方式二可结合使用,也可将方式一作为方式二的一种具体的实施例,具体结合的方式本发明不作限定。
由于终端设备可根据该无线帧的帧号、OFDM符号所在的子帧对应的子帧号、接收该OFDM符号的天线端口号及OFDM符号的索引信息得到波束的信息,那么,网络侧设备携带在PBCH域中的用于指示波束的信息主要分下述几种情况:
a、在PBCH域中携带第一OFDM符号的索引信息,该第一OFDM符号的索引信息包括第一OFDM符号的符号标识或者第一OFDM符号的编号。
b、在PBCH域中携带波束的索引信息,该波束的索引信息为波束的标识或者波束的编号。其中,波束的索引信息可以解释为同步块时间索引SS block time index或者同步块索引SS block index。
c、在PBCH域中携带复用块的索引信息,该复用块的索引信息为复用块的块标识或者复用块的编号。
d、在PBCH域中携带同步块时间索引SS block time index或者同步块索引SS block index。
其中,SS block time index可以用于指示该SS block是属于SS block burst set中的第几个block,SS block time index也可以用于指示该SS block是属于该SS block burst中的第几个block。
其中,上述a和b和d适用于方式一和方式二,c仅适用于方式二。在方式一下,PBCH域可携带a和b、d中的至少一项;在方式二下,PBCH域可携带a、b和c、d中的至少一项。
举例来说,如图2所示,每个无线帧的0号子帧及25号子帧用来做下行同步扫描,每个子帧的每个OFDM符号携带同步信号和PBCH域,并在该PBCH域携带该OFDM符号ID。同一个OFDM符号可发射出m个波束,每个子帧包含(n+1)个OFDM符号,一共需要两个无线帧即4个子帧才可将所有方向的下行波束遍历完,则总共的波束数目为4*m*(n+1),而每个子帧的OFDM符号中携带的OFDM符号ID为0,1,…,n,若终端设备与某个波束同步,那么终端设备可以根据解得的OFDM符号ID、波束的天线端口号、无线帧的帧号及OFDM符号所在的子帧对应的子帧号得到该波束的编号,然后再将得到的波束的编号上报至网络侧设备。
其中,若同步的无线帧的帧号为偶数且子帧号为0,则波束的编号为i*m+p;若同步的无线帧的帧号为偶数且子帧号为25;则波束的编号为(n+i+1)*m+p;若同步的无线帧的帧号为奇数且子帧号为0,则波束的编号为(2n+i+2)*m+p;若同步的无线帧的帧号为奇数且子帧号为25,则波束的编号为(3n+i+3)*m+p。
102、网络侧设备将至少一个所述无线帧发送至终端设备。
103、终端设备接收接入网发送的至少一个无线帧,并根据无线帧中所述用于指示波束的信息来识别波束。
由于同一个OFDM符号可发射多个波束,不同的波束分别由不同的天线端口发射出,那么由同一个OFDM符号发射出的多个波束可共享一个OFDM符号的索引信息,由于OFDM符号具有唯一的索引信息,所以终端设备在识别波束时,可通过天线端口号区分来自同一个OFDM符号的波束。那么,根据同步信号需要的无线帧的数量,终端设备识别波束的情况主要分下述几种:
1、同步信号仅需要放在一个无线帧即可遍历所有方向的波束时。
终端设备通过检测PBCH获取第一OFDM符号的索引信息或复用块的索引信息,通过接收波束获取接收波束的天线端口号、获取所述第一OFDM符号所在的子帧的帧号,然后,终端设备根据所述第一OFDM符号的索引信息(或复用块的索引信息)、天线端口号和第一OFDM符号所在的子帧的帧号来获取波束的索引信息,从而识别接收波束。
2、同步信号仅需要放在两个以上的无线帧才可遍历所有方向的波束时。
终端设备则需要获取第一OFDM符号的索引信息或复用块的索引信息,接收波束的天线端口号、获取所述第一OFDM符号所在的子帧的帧号以及第一OFDM符号所在的无线帧的帧号,然后终端设备便可根据所述第一OFDM符号的索引信息(或复用块的索引信息)、天线端口号、第一OFDM符号所在的子帧的帧号和第一OFDM符号所在的无线帧的帧号来获取波束的索引信息,从而识别接收波束。
本发明实施例中,通过将用于指示波束的信息携带在PBCH域中,在不需要扩展同步信号的前提下,不需要占用额外的子载波,即可减少下行系统的开销。以及将用于指示波束的信息携带在广播信号的PBCH域中,由于编码调制到广播信号中的该信息相较于现有机制所占的资源空间更小,所以能够进一步减少下行系统的开销。由此可见,与现有机制相比,两种方
式所占用的子载波较少,所以能够减少下行系统的开销。
此外,由于采用PBCH域传输用于指示波束的信息,使得终端设备在接收到无线帧后,能够直接对接收到的PBCH域进行解调,从而简化终端设备解调的复杂度,一定程度上也能减少盲检,并且接收物理广播信道信息也能提高传输的可靠性。此外,PBCH域所占用的资源比较少,进一步减少资源的开销。
以上对本发明中一种通信的方法进行说明,以下对执行上述通信的方法的网络侧设备和终端设备分别进行描述。
一、参照图4,对网络侧设备40进行说明,网络侧设备40包括:
处理模块401,用于生成无线帧,所述无线帧包括至少一个正交频分复用OFDM符号,其中,所述至少一个OFDM符号中的第一OFDM符号包括同步信号和PBCH域,所述PBCH域包括用于指示波束的信息。或者,所述无线帧包括至少一个复用块,所述复用块包括同步信号和PBCH域,所述PBCH域包括用于指示波束的信息。
收发模块402,用于将所述处理模块401生成的所述无线帧发送至终端设备,使得终端设备能够根据获取到的波束的信息识别波束,并通过识别的波束与网络侧设备通信。
可选地,所述用于指示波束的信息为第一OFDM符号的索引信息或者同步块时间索引SS block time index或者同步块索引SS block index,所述第一OFDM符号的索引信息包括第一OFDM符号的符号标识或者第一OFDM符号的编号。或者,所述用于指示波束的信息包括波束的索引信息,所述波束的索引信息为波束的标识或者波束的编号。其中,SS block time index可以用于指示该SS block是属于SS block burst set中的第几个block,SS block time index也可以用于指示该SS block是属于该SS block burst中的第几个block。
可选地,所述用于指示波束的信息包括第一OFDM符号的索引信息、复用块的索引信息和波束的索引信息中的至少一项。
本发明实施例中,处理模块401生成包括具有上述PBCH域的第一OFDM符号的无线帧,在上述PBCH域中携带用于指示波束的信息,或者生成包含上述复用块的无线帧,在复用块的PBCH域中携带用于指示波束的信息,通过这两种指示波束的信息的方式,都能减少指示波束的信息所占的资源,并且也能够提高传输波束的信息的稳定性。
