Specification

Random access power control method, device and communication system
Technical field
[0001]
The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a random access power control method, device, and communication system.
Background technique
[0002]
In a Long Term Evolution (LTE, Long Term Evolution) system, a single random access process (Random Access Process) attempt is performed by a user equipment (UE, User Equipment) at the same time, and another one cannot be initiated until the random access attempt is confirmed to fail. The random access process tries to access again.
[0003]
In a contention based random access procedure (Contention based random access procedure), the user equipment randomly selects a preamble (Preamble) and sends it on a physical random access channel (Physical Random Channel, PRACH for short). In the non-contention-based random access process, the base station instructs the user equipment to use a certain preamble, and instructs the UE to use a specific PRACH time-frequency resource or instructs the UE to select the time-frequency resource by itself.
[0004]
It should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is set forth only to facilitate a clear and complete description of the technical solution of the present invention and to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. It cannot be considered that these technical solutions are known to those skilled in the art simply because these solutions are described in the background of the present invention.
[0005]
Summary of the invention
[0006]
In LTE, the following formula (1) can be used to calculate the transmit power of the preamble:
[0007]
P PRACH=min{P CMAX,c(i),PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER+PL c}[dBm] (1)
[0008]
Among them, P CMAX, c (i) is the maximum transmission power of the UE for subframe i in cell c;
[0009]
PL c is the downlink path loss of cell c estimated by the UE;
[0010]
PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER is the preamble reception target power, and its expression is as follows (2):
[0011]
PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER=preambleInitialReceivedTargetPower+DELTA_PREAMBLE+(PREAMBLE_TRANSMISSION_COUNTER–1)*powerRampingStep (2)
[0012]
Among them, DELTA_PREAMBLE is a pre-defined power offset value based on the preamble format; preambleInitialReceivedTargetPower and powerRampingStep are the initial target received power and power boost step for the preamble configured by the cell; PREAMBLE_TRANSMISSION_COUNTER is the preamble transmission count value, and its initial value is 1, if 1 random access attempt fails, each time the UE restarts a random access attempt, the count value is incremented by 1. When the value added is greater than the maximum number of transmissions configured by the cell, the UE reports the random access problem to the higher layer, and then the UE can Perform cell reselection.
[0013]
In LTE, the communication scenario of random access is relatively simple, and relatively few factors are considered when determining the transmission power of the preamble.
[0014]
However, the inventor of the present application found that in future wireless communication systems, such as 5G, New Radio (NR, New Radio) systems, the communication scenario of random access becomes more complicated and will introduce more possibilities that may cause the UE to randomly connect. Uncertain factors for the failure of the entry process, if the current mechanism is still used to determine the transmission power of the preamble, it is difficult to meet the requirements of complex communication scenarios, for example, the base station is sending multiple synchronization signals / physical broadcast signal blocks (SS / PBCH block) In the scenario where there are differences in path loss due to different SS / PBCH blocks, and the current method for determining the transmission power of the preamble does not take into account the above differences, it is difficult to accurately estimate the transmission of the preamble in a multi-beam scenario power. But there is currently no solution to the above problems.
[0015]
Therefore, considering the requirements of complex communication scenarios in future wireless communications, the embodiments of the present application provide a random access method, device, and communication system, which can be adapted to complex UE random access scenarios.
[0016]

[0018]

According to a third aspect of this embodiment, a random access power control device is provided, and the device includes:
[0021]

[0057]
The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0058]
Example 1
[0059]
Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a random access power control method, which is applied to a device side that initiates a random access process to a network side, such as a user equipment (UE) side.
[0060]
FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a random access power control method according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the method includes:
[0061]
Step 101: Use the path loss estimated based on the currently selected synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block (SS / PBCH block) and / or channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) of the user equipment to calculate when the user equipment sends a random access preamble The transmit power used.
[0062]
According to this embodiment, the path loss estimated based on the synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block (SS / PBCH block) and / or channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) selected by the UE is considered when calculating the transmission power of the preamble, Therefore, it can adapt to the random access process of the UE in complex scenarios such as multi-beam.
[0063]
In this embodiment, the base station may periodically send multiple synchronization signals / physical broadcast signal blocks (SS / PBCH blocks), or synchronization signal blocks (SSB), in a beam sweeping manner. The base station can configure PRACH resource / preamble set and divide it into multiple subsets, different SS / PBCH blocks and different physical random access channel resources / preamble A subset of (PRACH resource / preamble subset) is associated. The user equipment can select the cell and the SS / PBCH block in the cell through cell search, thereby determining the PRACH resource / preamble subset associated with the SS / PBCH block, and selecting and using the PRACH resource and preamble from the PRACH resource / preamble subset PRACH resource sends a message containing preamble.
[0064]
In this embodiment, when the random access attempt fails, the UE may re-select the SS / PBCH block from the cell, so as to switch a new PRACH resource / preamble subset to perform a random access attempt.
[0065]
In this embodiment, since the SS / PBCH block selected by the UE may change, the preamble transmission corresponding to the SS / PBCH block can be accurately calculated based on the estimated path loss based on the SS / PBCH block selected by the UE Power to adapt to the random access process of UEs in complex scenarios such as multi-beam.
[0066]
In this embodiment, the preamble transmission power P PRACH can be calculated according to the following formula (3) :
[0067]
P PRACH=min{P CMAX,c,P PRACH,SSB}[dBm] (3)
[0068]
P CMAX, c is the maximum transmission power of the UE in cell c, P PRACH, SSB is the transmission power required by the UE to transmit the preamble calculated based on the power boost count and the path loss estimated based on the SS / PBCH block, for example, P PRACH, SSB can be obtained according to the following formula (4):
[0069]
P PRACH,SSB=PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER+PL1 (4)
[0070]
Among them, PL1 is at least the estimated path loss based on the SS / PBCH block selected by the UE. PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER represents the target power received by the preamble, which can be obtained based on the power up count.
[0071]
PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER=
[0072]
preambleInitialReceivedTargetPower+DELTA_PREAMBLE
[0073]
+(POWER_RAMPING_COUNTER–1)*powerRampingStep (5)
[0074]
Among them, preambleInitialReceivedTargetPower and powerRampingStep are the initial target received power and power boost step for the preamble configured by the cell; DELTA_PREAMBLE is a pre-defined power offset value based on the preamble format (Preamble Format); POWER_RAMPING_COUNTER represents the power boost count.
[0075]
In this embodiment, the initial value of the power up count may be 1, and each time the UE restarts a random access attempt, the power up count may be increased by 1.
[0076]
In this embodiment, each time the UE restarts a random access attempt, it can increase the preamble transmission count PREAMBLE_TRANSMISSION_COUNTER by 1.
[0077]
In this embodiment, the power up count POWER_RAMPING_COUNTER and the preamble transmission count PREAMBLE_TRANSMISSION_COUNTER may be equal or unequal.
[0078]
In this embodiment, the UE may report the first random access problem to a higher layer when the value of the preamble transmission count plus 1 is greater than the maximum number of transmissions configured by the cell, and then the UE may perform cell reselection.
[0079]
In this embodiment, the PL1 can be calculated based on the specific implementation of the UE. For example, the corresponding PL1 can be calculated based on the measurement value of the received power of the UE (RSRP1) corresponding to the SS / PBCH block currently selected by the UE, for example, according to Calculate by the following formula (4-1):
[0080]
PL1 = base station transmit power-UE receive power (RSRP1) (4-1)
[0081]
In this embodiment, there is another possible situation in the random access process of the UE: for a connected mode (CONNECTED mode) UE, a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) that can be configured for measurement, In addition, different CSI-RSs can correspond to different beams, so as to be associated with different physical random access channel resources / preamble subsets (PRACH resource / preamble subset), and the UE can reference signals based on channel state information ( CSI-RS) measurement results, select the PRACH resource corresponding to CSI-RS for random access.
[0082]
In step 101 of this embodiment, the path loss estimated based on the CSI-RS configured by the UE may also be used to calculate the preamble transmission power. For example, P PRACH, SSB can be calculated according to the following formula (4-2) :
[0083]
P PRACH,SSB=PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER+PL2 (4-2)
[0084]
Among them, PL2 is the estimated path loss based on the CSI-RS configured by the UE.
[0085]
In step 101 of this embodiment, when calculating the preamble transmission power, either PL1 or PL2 may be used, or PL1 and PL2 may be used to form PL3, and PL3 may be substituted for PL1 in equation (4).
[0086]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the method further includes:
[0087]
Step 102: When obtaining the reported random access problem related to the user equipment reselecting the synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block, set a power up count and / or a power up step.
[0088]
In this embodiment, when obtaining the reported random access problem related to the user equipment reselection of the synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block (ie, the second random access problem), by setting the power up count and / or power up The step size can control the transmission power of the UE to transmit the preamble, so as to avoid interference to other UEs due to excessive transmission power when transmitting the preamble corresponding to the reselected SS / PBCH block.
[0089]
In this embodiment, the power-up count and / or power-up step may be set by a higher layer of the UE. For example, the power-up count and / or the power-up step may be reset to a predetermined value, for example, the power-up count is Set to 0 or halved.
[0090]
In this embodiment, in the case where the power up count and / or power up step is set in step 102, the UE may use the newly set power up count and / or power during the subsequent random access attempt The step size is increased to calculate the transmission power of the preamble, so the transmission power of the preamble can be controlled.
[0091]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the method further includes:
[0092]
Step 103: In the case where the user equipment reselects the synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block (SS / PBCH block), report the random access problem related to the user equipment reselecting the synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block.
[0093]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the method further includes:
[0094]
Step 104: When the user equipment reselects the synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block (SS / PBCH block) and meets the first preset condition, report the randomness associated with the user equipment's reselection of the synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block Access issues.
[0095]
In this embodiment, the first preset condition involved in step 104 may be at least one of the following conditions: the power up count is greater than the first threshold N_thre; the UE estimates based on the power up count and based on the reselected SS / PBCH block The transmission power of the preamble calculated by the path loss of is greater than the second threshold P_thre.
[0096]
In step 103 and step 104 of this embodiment, the random access problem (ie, the second random access problem) related to the user equipment reselecting the synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block can be reported to the upper layer of the user equipment, the user When receiving the second random access problem, the upper layer of the device sets the power up count and / or the power up step.
[0097]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the method may further include:
[0098]
Step 102a: When the user equipment reselects the synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block, or when the user equipment reselects the synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block and meets the second preset condition, set the power up count and / or power Step up.
[0099]
In step 102a of this embodiment, the power up count and / or power up step may be set without reporting the second random access problem, for example, when setting the power up count and / or power up step When the unit at and the counting unit are at the same layer of the user equipment, the power up count and / or power up step may be set without reporting the second random access problem.
[0100]
In this embodiment, the second preset condition may be at least one condition listed in the above first preset condition.
[0101]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the method further includes:
[0102]
Step 105: When the parameter related to the synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block (SS / PBCH block) currently selected by the user equipment meets the third preset condition, and / or the target synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block (SS / PBCH block) When the relevant parameter meets the fourth preset condition, it is determined to select the target synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block.
[0103]
Therefore, when the UE decides to restart a random access attempt, it can determine whether to re-select the SS / PBCH block. Therefore, it is possible to avoid selecting the SS / PBCH block too frequently, thereby avoiding the SS / PBCH block Between the ping-pong effect.
[0104]
In this embodiment, the third preset condition may be any one or a combination of two or more of the following conditions:
[0105]
(1) When the received power of the currently selected synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block is less than the third threshold: for example, the UE can compare the received power RSRP of the currently selected SS / PBCH block with the third threshold X [dBm] if RSRP Z [dB], the UE may reselect the SS / PBCH block, otherwise, the UE does not reselect the SS / PBCH block.
[0108]
(3) When the number of transmissions with the maximum transmission power of the preamble calculated based on the currently selected synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold N:
[0109]
For example, the maximum transmission power of the preamble calculated based on the currently selected SS / PBCH block is Pmax . When the number of times the UE uses this maximum transmission power Pmax to send a preamble is greater than or equal to N, the UE may retransmit the next preamble Select the SS / PBCH block, otherwise, the UE does not re-select the SS / PBCH block.
[0110]
(4) When the time to try random access based on the currently selected synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block is greater than or equal to the sixth threshold T [ms]:
[0111]
For example, if the time for the UE to try random access based on the current SS / PBCH block is greater than or equal to the sixth threshold T [ms], the SS / PBCH block can be reselected, otherwise, the UE cannot reselect the SS / PBCH block.
[0112]
In this embodiment, the fourth preset condition may include at least one of the following conditions:
[0113]
(1) When the difference between the received power of the target synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block and the currently selected synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block is greater than or equal to the seventh threshold:
[0114]
For example, the UE may compare the difference between the received power RSRP2 of the target SS / PBCH block and the currently selected SS / PBCH block RSRP1 (RSRP2-RSRP1) with the seventh threshold Y [dB], if (RSRP2-RSRP1) ≥Y [dB], the UE can select the target SS / PBCH block as a new SS / PBCH block, otherwise, the UE cannot re-select the SS / PBCH block.
[0115]
(2) When the difference between the maximum transmission power P CMAX, c of the user equipment in the cell and the preamble transmission power P _SSB calculated based on the target synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block is greater than the eighth threshold W [dB]:
[0116]
For example, when P CMAX, c -P _SSB- > W dB, the UE can select the target SS / PBCH block as a new SS / PBCH block, otherwise, the UE cannot re-select the SS / PBCH block. In this embodiment, the first threshold, and / or the second threshold, and / or the third threshold, and / or the fourth threshold, and / or the fifth threshold, and / or the sixth threshold, and / Or the seventh threshold and / or the eighth threshold may be configured by the base station to the UE, for example, the base station may be configured through system messages, and / or RRC signaling, and / or physical layer control signaling, etc. In addition, this embodiment may not be limited to this, for example, the UE may also configure any one or more of the first threshold to the eighth threshold.
[0117]
The following describes a method for a random access attempt by a UE according to this embodiment with reference to an example. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a method for a random access attempt by a UE of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes:
[0118]
Step 201: The UE's previous random access attempt fails, and it is decided to restart a random access attempt;
[0119]
Step 202: The UE calculates the preamble transmission power P PRACH, SSB according to the power up count PRC and the estimated path loss based on the currently selected SS / PBCH block ;
[0120]
Step 203. Determine whether (P PRACH, SSB- P CMAX, c ) is greater than the threshold Z [dB]. If the judgment is "No", go to step 204, if the judgment is "Yes", go to step 208;
[0121]
Step 204, do not reselect the SS / PBCH block;
[0122]
Step 205: Increase the power up count PRC by 1 to update the PRC;
[0123]
Step 206: The UE recalculates the preamble transmission power P PRACH, SSB based on the updated power up count PRC and the estimated path loss based on the currently selected SS / PBCH block ;
[0124]
Step 207: The UE reselects the SS / PBCH block, and selects the PRACH resource corresponding to the reselected SS / PBCH block;
[0125]
Step 208: Determine whether the power up count PRC is greater than the first threshold N_thre. If the determination is "No", go to step 210; if the determination is "Yes", go to step 209;
[0126]
Step 209: Report the second random access problem to the upper layer, and the upper layer resets the power up count PRC, for example, sets the power up count PRC to half of the original value; or the upper layer repeats the power up step For example, set the power boost step to half of the original value.
[0127]
Step 210: The UE recalculates the preamble transmission power P PRACH, SSB according to the power boost count PRC, power boost step size, and path loss estimated based on the reselected SS / PBCH block ;
[0128]
Step 211: The UE determines the transmission power P PRACH of the preamble based on P PRACH and SSB based on the above equation (3) , and sends the preamble.
[0129]
In FIG. 2, the steps shown by the dashed box 20 indicate the process of the UE reporting the second random access problem to the higher layer when the new SS / PBCH block is selected.
[0130]
According to this embodiment, the path loss estimated based on the synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block (SS / PBCH block) selected by the UE is taken into account when calculating the transmission power of the preamble, and thus it can adapt to the random access of the UE in complex scenarios such as multi-beam In addition, when the new SS / PBCH block is selected, the UE sets the power-up count and / or power-up step, thereby controlling the transmission power of the preamble and avoiding interference to other UEs; and, the UE The new SS / PBCH block is selected for preamble transmission only when the preset conditions are met, thereby avoiding the ping-pong effect between the SS / PBCH blocks.
[0131]
Example 2
[0132]
Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a random access method, which is applied to a device side that initiates a random access process to a network side, such as a user equipment (UE) side.
[0133]

[0134]
Step 301: Calculate the transmit power of the preamble using the first parameter.
[0135]
In this embodiment, the first parameter may include, for example, the sequence number N_seq.beam of a single receive beam of the UE, and / or the number of sequences included in the preamble and the number of receive beams (beam), and / or configuration parameters adopted by the preamble or The bandwidth (numerology / SCS) of the subcarrier, and / or the type of the UE, and / or the gain of the TX / RX beam of the UE, etc.
[0136]
In addition, in this embodiment, the first parameter may not be limited to the parameters listed above.
[0137]
According to this embodiment, the first parameter is taken into consideration when calculating the preamble transmission power, thereby enabling the preamble transmission power to meet the requirements of complex communication scenarios.
[0138]
In this embodiment, the transmission power P ′ PRACH of the preamble can be determined according to the following formula (6):
[0139]
P PRACH=min{P CMAX,c,P’ PRACH,SSB}[dBm] (6)
[0140]
Among them, P CMAX, c is the maximum transmission power of the UE in the cell c, P ' PRACH, SSB is the transmission power required by the UE to transmit the preamble calculated based on the power up count, the estimated value of the path loss, and the first parameter, for example The first parameter can be used to determine the power offset value, which can be introduced into the formula for calculating P ' PRACH, SSB .
[0141]
In one embodiment, the P ' PRACH can be calculated according to the power offset value DELTA_P set by the first parameter, the estimated value of the path loss, and the preamble received target power (PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER) obtained based on the power boost count , SSB , for example, P ' PRACH, SSB can be obtained according to the following formula (7):
[0142]
P’ PRACH,SSB=PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER+PL’+DELTA_P (7)
[0143]
Where PL 'is the estimated value of the path loss of the path transmitting the prereamble, and the estimated value of the path loss may be the downlink path loss of cell c estimated by the UE, so that PL' may be equal to PLc in equation (1); , The estimated value of the path loss may also be an estimated path loss based on the SS / PBCH block selected by the UE, so that PL 'may be the same as PL1 in equation (4), PL2 in equation (4-2), or PL3 Are equal, and, in the case where PL ′ can be equal to PL1, PL2, or PL3 in equation (4), the random access method of this embodiment and the random access method of Embodiment 1 can be combined, that is, the Step 301 may be combined with step 101 of FIG. 1, whereby, based on the power up count (POWER_RAMPING_COUNTER), based on the synchronization signal / physical broadcast signal block (SS / PBCH block) and / or channel state information reference signal (CSI-) selected by the UE RS) The estimated path loss, and the first parameter to calculate the preamble transmission power; PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER represents the preamble reception target power, which can be obtained based on the power up count, for example, PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER can be obtained according to the above formula (5).
[0144]
In another embodiment, the P ′ PRACH, SSB can be calculated based on the preamble reception target power obtained based on the power offset value DELTA_P set by the first parameter and the power up count, and the path loss PL ′, for example P ' PRACH, SSB can be obtained according to the following formula (8):
[0145]
P’ PRACH,SSB=PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER’+PL’ (8)
[0146]
Where, PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER 'is the preamble received target power obtained based on the power offset value DELTA_P set by the first parameter and the power up count, for example, PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER' can be obtained by using the following formula (9):
[0147]
PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER’=
[0148]
preambleInitialReceivedTargetPower+DELTA_PREAMBLE+DELTA_P
[0149]
+(POWER_RAMPING_COUNTER–1)*powerRampingStep (9)
[0150]
Among them, preambleInitialReceivedTargetPower and powerRampingStep are the initial target received power and power boost step for the preamble configured by the cell; DELTA_PREAMBLE is a pre-defined power offset value based on the preamble format; POWER_RAMPING_COUNTER represents the power boost count; DELTA_P is based on this The power offset value set by the characteristic parameter.
[0151]
In the above formula (7) and formula (9), the power offset value DELTA_P is introduced into the calculation of P ' PRACH, SSB in the form of addition , but this embodiment is not limited to this, the power offset value DELTA_P can also be introduced into the calculation of P ' PRACH, SSB in the form of subtraction, and / or multiplication, and / or division, and / or exponential operation, and / or logarithm operation ; in addition, it can also be Under certain predetermined conditions, the power offset value DELTA_P is introduced into equation (7) or equation (9) to calculate P ' PRACH, SSB , for example, in the case where the preamble is a short sequence, for equation (9) , You can keep DELTA_P and delete DELTA_PREAMBLE, that is, replace DELTA_PREAMBLE with DELTA_P. In addition, in the case where the preamble is a long sequence, for equation (9), you can keep DELTA_PREAMBLE and delete DELTA_P.
[0152]
Next, the determination method of DELTA_PREAMBLE in equations (5) and (9) will be described.
[0153]
DELTA_PREAMBLE can be determined according to the preamble format.
[0154]
In this embodiment, for long sequences (sequence length L is 839) preamble, format0 (839) can be used as a reference format to determine the value of DELTA_PREAMBLE corresponding to other formats; for short sequences (sequence length L is 127 / 139, that is, 127 or 139) For preamble, a certain format (for example, format A0) in the short sequence (127/139) is used as a reference format to calculate the DELTA_PREAMBLE value corresponding to each other format, and the short sequence The DELTA_PREAMBLE value corresponding to the reference format can also be obtained by using the DELTA_PREAMBLE value corresponding to the long sequence reference format as a reference. Table 1 shows the values ​​of DELTA_PREAMBLE corresponding to each format.
[0155]
Table 1:
[0156]

[0157]
In Table 1, for each format 0, 1, 2, 3 corresponding to a long sequence, the corresponding DELTA_PREAMBLE can be directly determined from Table 1, where the value of DELTA_PREAMBLE corresponding to formats 1, 2, 3 is format 0 The corresponding DELTA_PREAMBLE value is obtained by reference. For each format corresponding to the short sequence, the DELTA_PREAMBLE value corresponding to the short sequence reference format can be used as the DELTA_PREAMBLE value corresponding to each format. In addition, the value of DELTA_PREAMBLE corresponding to the short sequence reference format is, for example, 14 dB. This value can be obtained by taking the value of DELTA_PREAMBLE corresponding to format 0 as the reference.
[0158]
In addition, in the above Table 1, Δf = 15 kHz represents the bandwidth of the subcarrier used in the preamble.
[0159]
In addition, the above Table 1 is only an example, and the value of DELTA_PREAMBLE corresponding to each format may also be other values.
[0160]
The method of calculating P ' PRACH and SSB based on each characteristic parameter will be described below.
[0161]
1. Calculate P ' PRACH, SSB according to the number of sequences (N_seq.beam) received by a single receive beam of the UE :
[0162]
The power offset value DELTA_P = DELTA_NoS determined based on N_seq.beam.
[0163]
In this embodiment, the DELTA_NoS corresponding to each format of the preamble of the long sequence (sequence length L is 839) and the short sequence (sequence length L is 127/139) is different. Table 2 is the DELTA_NoS list corresponding to the long sequence preamble.
[0164]
Table 2: L = 839
[0165]
[表 0001]
Format L DELTA_NoS
0 839 0dB
1 839 0dB
2 839 0dB
3 839 0dB
[0166]
Table 3 is the DELTA_NoS list corresponding to the short sequence preamble. Where, for example, when format A0 is used as the reference format to calculate the DELTA_PREAMBLE corresponding to the short sequence format, the DELTA_NoS can be determined according to the following formula (10):
[0167]

[0168]
Table 3: L = 127/139
[0169]

[0170]

[0171]
In Table 1 and Table 2, Fomat refers to the preamble format (Preamble Format), and "#of Sequence" represents the number of the received sequence (sequnce).
[0172]
For long-sequence preamble or short-sequence preamble, according to its N_seq.beam, DELTA_NoS shown in Table 2 or Table 3 can be substituted into equations (7) or (8), (9) to calculate P ' PRACH, SSB .
[0173]
In addition, in this embodiment, DELTA_NoS can also be introduced in formula (7) or formula (9) under certain predetermined conditions to calculate P ' PRACH, SSB , for example, a short sequence in the preamble (127/139) In the case of, you can keep DELTA_NoS in equation (7) or equation (9) and delete DELTA_PREAMBLE, that is, consider the effect of DELTA_No on the preamble transmission power only when the preamble is a short sequence (127/139) And replace DELTA_PREAMBLE with DELTA_NoS. In addition, when the preamble is a long sequence (839), you can keep DELTA_PREAMBLE in equation (7) or (9), and delete DELTA_NoS. For example, equation (9) can be written as follows (9a):
[0174]
PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER’=preambleInitialReceivedTargetPower+DELTA_PREAMBLE(for 839)/DELTA_NoS(for 127/139)
[0175]
+(POWER_RAMPING_COUNTER–1)*powerRampingStep (9a)
[0176]
Among them, DELTA_PREAMBLE (for 839) / DELTA_NoS (for 127/139) means: when the preamble is a short sequence (127/139), take the value of DELTA_NoS, for example, you can refer to Table 3 above to determine the value of DELTA_NoS; When the preamble is a long sequence (839), the value of DELTA_PREAMBLE is taken. For example, the value of DELTA_PREAMBLE can be determined by referring to Table 1 above.
[0177]
2. Calculate P ' PRACH, SSB according to the configuration parameters or subcarrier bandwidth (numerology / SCS) adopted by the preamble :
[0178]
In this embodiment, for the case of a short sequence preamble, the transmission power of the short sequence preamble can be calculated based on the configuration parameters adopted by the preamble or the subcarrier bandwidth.
[0179]
Among them, the power offset value determined based on the configuration parameters adopted by the preamble or the subcarrier bandwidth (numerology / SCS) can be expressed as DELTA_P = DELTA_SCS, for example, DELTA_SCS can be determined according to the following formula (11):
[0180]
DELTA_SCS=10log(μ+1) (11)
[0181]
Among them, μ represents the configuration parameter of the subcarrier bandwidth used by the preamble, the subcarrier bandwidth Δf used by the preamble can be expressed as Δf = 15 · 2 μ kHz, and the value of μ can be 0, 1, 2, or 3 Wait.
[0182]
For example, taking the transmission power required by the preamble whose SCS is 15 kHz as the reference transmission power, Δf = 15 · 2 μ kHz indicates the subcarrier bandwidth used by the preamble. Taking format A2 as an example, the power offset value DELTA_SCS from the reference transmission power It can be shown in Table 4 below.
[0183]
Table 4:
[0184]

[0185]
3. Calculate P ' PRACH, SSB according to UE type :
[0186]
In this embodiment, the UE type may refer to the service type of the UE, for example, and the power offset value determined based on the UE type may be expressed as DELTA_P = DELTA_UE.
[0187]
In this embodiment, a list of correspondences between the UE type and the DELTA_UE value may be preset to determine the DELTA_UE value corresponding to the UE type.
[0188]
Table 5 below is an example of the correspondence between the type of UE and the value of DELTA_UE.
[0189]

[0190]
In the above table, the UE type is 0, which means that the service type of the UE is capable of beam correspondence, and the DELTA_UE corresponding to this type is 0dB; The value of DELTA_UE corresponding to the type is 3dB.
[0191]
4. Calculate P ' PRACH, SSB according to the gain of the UE's transmit / receive beam :
[0192]
In this embodiment, the power offset value determined based on the gain of the transmission / reception beam of the UE may be expressed as DELTA_P = DELTA_Beam.
[0193]
In this embodiment, the value of DELTA_Beam corresponding to the gain of the transmission / reception beam may be determined by a preset correspondence list or formula between the gain of the transmission / reception beam and the value of DELTA_Beam.
[0194]
In this embodiment, at least one of DELTA_NoS, DELTA_SCS, DELTA_UE, and DELTA_Beam can be used as DELTA_P to calculate P ' PRACH, SSB , or a combination of two or more of them can be used as DELTA_P to calculate P' PRACH, SSB .
[0195]
In this embodiment, the UE may decide whether to re-select the SS / PBCH block for preamble transmission in the same manner as in embodiment 1; and, in the case where the UE re-selects the SS / PBCH block, the method described in embodiment 1 may be used The way to determine the timing for the UE to report the second random access problem, and the way in which the upper layer of the UE resets the power up count and / or the power up step is also the same as in Embodiment 1.
[0196]
5. Calculate P ' PRACH, SSB according to the number of sequences included in the preamble and the number of receiving beams :
[0197]
The specific method is similar to 1.
[0198]
According to this embodiment, the first parameter is taken into consideration when calculating the preamble transmission power, thereby enabling the preamble transmission power to meet the requirements of complex communication scenarios.
