Title: the terminal side, the base station side device, a terminal device, wireless communication method and a base station
FIELD
[0001]
The present disclosure relates generally to the field of wireless communications. In particular, to an apparatus-side terminal in a wireless communication system, a terminal apparatus, base station apparatus side, the base station, and radio communication method used in them.
Background technique
[0002]
User demand for high-speed data transmission of the growing, LTE (Long Term Evolution) wireless transmission technology to become one of the most competitive. User Equipment (UE) to access the LTE cell search must go through the network, the cell system information acquisition procedure, the random access and the like. The main purpose of cell search are: (1) obtaining a cell with a frequency and symbol synchronization; (2) frame timing acquisition system, i.e., the start position of a frame in a downlink; (3) determining a physical layer cell identity (PCI). UE not only needs to perform cell search at startup. To support mobility, the UE will keep the neighbor cell search, synchronization, and estimate reception quality of the cell signal, to decide whether a handover or cell reselection.
[0003]
With the growing demand for data transmission, increased bandwidth and spectrum efficiency has become the key to improving overall system performance. In this context, the use of unlicensed bands are valued by more and more operators, and consider it as a supplement to existing LTE licensed bands to improve the quality of service users.
[0004]
Since cell unlicensed frequency band coexist with other communication systems, spectrum resources used in common, to some extent, the signal of the cell may be due to the use of other high-priority system (such as radar) must be avoidance of, or with other systems (such as WiFi) negotiated only use a fixed time period. If the cell search and synchronization too time-consuming, would be detrimental to the UE initial access and a cell reselection, handover, and thus limit the use of unlicensed band cell. Thus, the UE is required to quickly perform unauthorized frequency cell search and synchronization.
[0005]

detailed description
[0028]
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. For clarity and brevity, described in the specification are not all features of an actual embodiment. However, it should be understood that the specific lot must be made in the development of any such actual embodiment of the process to decide the embodiment, in order to achieve specific goals developers. For example, in line with those constraints associated with the systems and services, and these restrictions may be subject to change with different embodiments. In addition, it should be understood that, although the development work can be very complex and time-consuming, but the benefit of this disclosure to those skilled in the, this development is only a routine task.
[0029]
Here, it is should also be noted that: in order to avoid unnecessarily obscure the details of the present disclosure, is shown in the drawings only be omitted according to the present disclosure means the structure closely related to the program and / or processing steps, additional details of this little public relations.
[0030]
In order to support cell search, LTE downlink synchronization defines two kinds of signals: three primary synchronization signal (PSS) 168 and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS). Thus the combination of a primary synchronization signal and LTE secondary synchronization signals has defined 504 different PCI, PCI and each corresponding to a specific downlink reference signal sequence. 168 secondary synchronization signal 168 are identified as a cell identity group, three primary synchronization signals are identified as the three cell identity. Primary synchronization signal and secondary synchronization signals together determine the PCI of a cell. When the base station determines a cell group identifier and a cell identifier (PCI = 3 * + cells identifies a cell group identity), it determines the transmission sequence of primary synchronization signal and secondary synchronization signals transmitted. The UE searches for these signals, the signals are demodulated according to all related possible combinations, to determine a cell group identifier and a cell identifier used by the base station.
[0031]
In order to demodulate the UE PCI of a cell, the need to individually match the primary synchronization signals and the possible secondary synchronization signal. In order to increase the speed of the UE and the cell synchronization, the access time is shortened, the present disclosure proposes a new technical solution to a specific target cell by using proper subset of the sequence synchronous signal sync signal sequence in a predetermined set of existing communication protocols search, the UE may shorten access time. For example, it may be determined according to the particular subset of the target frequency range to be searched.
[0032]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a wireless communication system 100 of the apparatus disclosed in embodiments of the present embodiment according to the terminal side. Apparatus 100, for example but not limited to devices such as a mobile phone terminal, notebook computers, and in such a mobile terminal device, or the like binding member (such as a chip) or a mobile terminal device such use.
[0033]
Apparatus 100 includes a search unit 101 and the synchronization unit 102. Searching unit 101 is configured to search the target cell is a synchronous signal sequence and the target frequency range corresponding to be searched. For example, in the case where the target frequency range belongs to the first frequency range, the search unit 101 may employ a set of synchronization signal sequence with a first set of synchronization signal sequence corresponding to a first frequency sub-range of the search target cell. Here, the first subset is a proper subset of the set of synchronization signal sequence. Here, a set of synchronization signal sequences such as but not the synchronization signal sequence of a predetermined set of existing communication protocols. Correspondence between the target frequency range of the first subset may be set in advance, and can be preset in the UE (e.g., UE boot file is written), or notified to the UE by the base station. In one embodiment, the apparatus 100 may further include a determination unit (not shown) for determining whether a target frequency range of the first frequency range.
[0034]
In one embodiment, the first frequency range may be a range of an unlicensed frequency radio communication system, the target cell to be searched for the unlicensed spectrum access cell. In this embodiment, the synchronization signal sequence set e.g. but not limited to the use of the synchronization signal sequences utilizing authorized carrier communication frequency band on the radio communication system of the communication device set. Since the wireless communication system where the device 100 typically only unauthorized use of band resources opportunistically, wherein the idle resources may be fleeting, and thus the present invention is particularly suitable for cells operating on unlicensed bands were found shorten the cell discovery to improve the effect of time and resource utilization. Alternatively, for example, it may be further unlicensed frequency band into multiple sub-frequency range, for example, WiFi / frequency sub-range radar coexist and general sub unlicensed frequency range. The first frequency range may correspond to one of a plurality of sub-frequency range, for example, a synchronization signal sequence the entire set of synchronization signal sequence on the unlicensed frequency bands set for fast search using a synchronization signal sequence comprising a subset thereof. Access time on the sub-frequency ranges are different systems coexist more stringent requirements than the average sub-frequency range, in this example, there may be more than ordinary non-synchronization signal sequence different systems coexist sub-frequency range corresponding to proper subset of the set small child authorized frequency range, thus further accelerate the discovery process cell.
[0035]
The synchronization unit 102 is configured to detect a synchronization signal based on the synchronization search unit 101, so that the synchronization device 100 to a target cell. Subset of the use, the number of times the matching UE may perform cell search process of the target will be significantly reduced, thereby shortening the synchronization time of the UE and the target cell.
[0036]
Hereinafter, for convenience of description, in conjunction with an access way of example only unlicensed frequency cell according to the present disclosure will be described apparatus and methods. However, those skilled in the art will be understood: according to the present disclosure is also applicable to apparatus and method for access to any other cell need to speed up the synchronization process, such as a licensed band frequency range, the effect can be obtained in the same synchronization time shortened. For example, the small cells with dense deployment scenarios, the fast-moving UE also needs quick access to a small cell. Accordingly, the frequency range may be a small cell as a first frequency range, thus speeding up the synchronization process.
[0037]
In the current definition of a synchronization signal, since there are three primary synchronization signal may be matched to the primary synchronization signal up to 3 times. Since the secondary synchronization signal is located in a different frame sequences using different secondary synchronization signal each have 168 possibilities, a secondary synchronization signal is matched up to 168 times. Thus, it is seen: in the program match the synchronization signal by using current subset as synchronization signal sequence to be candidates, the secondary synchronization signal having a larger room for optimization. Thus, in one embodiment, the above-described synchronization signal sequence may be a sequence of secondary synchronization signal. Searching unit 101 may be configured to decode the secondary synchronization signal of the target cell employing the frequency band e.g. unauthorized target frequency range corresponding to a sequence of secondary synchronization signal.
[0038]
About the use of unauthorized use of the common frequency band, the current industry generally reached with the aid of the licensed band is an unlicensed frequency band, i.e., using the access authorization with the secondary carrier aggregation in the LTE (LAA-LTE). For LAA-LTE cell, in one embodiment, it may be defined using only a subset of the existing standards which secondary synchronization signal. For example, using the 56 base sequence in the base sequence 168 only. UE respectively thereby reducing the number of secondary synchronization signal autocorrelation sequence (match), thus greatly reducing the synchronization time.
[0039]
In one embodiment, the apparatus 100 may further include a communication interface (not shown). The communication interface may be configured to obtain a target cell search command by the first cell on the licensed band, and information indicating the first subset. For example, the communication interface may receive signaling comprises a command to search a target cell and information indicating the first subset of the first cell in the licensed band. The signaling may be, for example, broadcast signaling, RRC signaling may be.
[0040]
In at LAA-LTE scene, set as a synchronization signal sequence to the target cell search and unlicensed frequency band corresponding to the real child by using a secondary synchronization signal sequence set for example, may for example be divided secondary synchronization signal according to the value of PCI die 6 base sequence (as in the existing standard 168), the secondary synchronization signal sequence into subsets used is 6, alternatively the first subset, and sets the appropriate number assigned to each sub, a first subset instructions. In a further example, the subsets may be divided according to a sequence of the group ID. For example, the base sequence of secondary synchronization signal is divided into three subsets.
[0041]
In the example scenario above LAA-LTE, the access device 100 to the target cell, the communication interface device 100 may also be configured to acquire the target cell indicated by the synchronization signal sequence associated with the update. In the example, the carrier need not authorized auxiliary, using unlicensed frequency communication scenario, a communication interface device 100 may also access the target cell after acquiring the updated target cell indicated by the relevant synchronization signal sequence in the apparatus 100, in other words, the band can acquire the updated instructions on synchronization signal sequence in this example by unauthorized.
[0042]
FIG 2 is a block diagram illustrating the structure of the terminal-side apparatus 200 of the present disclosure further embodiment of a wireless communication system in accordance with. Apparatus 200 may include a search unit 201, a synchronization unit 202, detection unit 203 and a notification unit 204. Search unit 201 and the synchronization unit 202 has, in connection with FIG. 1 search unit 101 and the synchronization unit is described in the same function and structure 102 described herein is not redundant. Examples of other embodiments and the following embodiments, the same terms in the present embodiment (such as "first subset", "first frequency range", etc.) denote the same meaning as the foregoing embodiment embodiment.
[0043]
Detection unit 203 can detect whether a first subset of the use of interference caused in the reference signal received by the apparatus over a first frequency range 200 is too large. For example and without limitation, may be determined by detecting whether an excessive interference reference signal received quality (RSRQ) signals. Such as, but not limited to, when there is strong interference by detecting RSRQ determining, strong interference may be further determined duration, the time when it exceeds a predetermined threshold value, since it may be determined using a first subset of the device 200 by the result in a first frequency interference signal received on the reference range is too large. Under excessive interference is detected, the notification unit 204 notifies the detection result may base its serving cell or the target cell. Note that in some examples, the current serving cell apparatus 200 (e.g., serving cell on the licensed band) and the target cell in the unlicensed band is co base station, in other examples, the serving cell and the target cell may be different base station management entity, the notification unit 204 may notify the detection result to the serving cell base station, and then transmitted by the serving cell base station by X2 signaling to the base station of the target cell, and in some examples, the device 200 may directly access the target cell after We report the detection result to the base station of the target cell.
[0044]
Synchronization signal sequence set may include a plurality of the first subset cell search frequency range. Searching unit 201 may detect a base station serving cell / target cell response indicating the second subset consisting of the interference notification unit 204 issues a notification of excessive reselection from a proper subset of the plurality, and a synchronization retransmitted by the base station of the target cell signal. Needless to say, a second subset of the first re-select different subsets. The search unit 201 may decode the synchronization signal according to an instruction retransmitted using a second subset of the second subset.
[0045]
Alternatively, the target cell may be a base station in response to the interference notification unit 204 issues a notice of an excessive concentration reselect additional synchronization signal from the first sub-sequence, rather than re-selected subsets.
[0046]
LAA-LTE in the scene, since the LAA-LTE target cell and a macro cell are usually deployed in the small cell and different frequency bands, and therefore, in an actual deployment is possible to use the same PSS and SSS. Therefore, at the time of the LAA-LTE cell synchronization, in order to determine the sequence thereof using specific PSS / SSS may be used first macro cell and a sequence of small cells to match, as much as possible to speed up the synchronous speed. As an example, when the device 200 performs unlicensed spectrum access in LTE assistance, the search unit 201 may first secondary synchronization signal of the previous cell resides apparatus 200 as a synchronization signal sequence to search. It will be appreciated, the synchronization signal comprises a sequence of the first subset may correspond to the current or a previously authorized service synchronization signal sequence on cell band. The technical contents and technical content to be described below are equally applicable to the apparatus described in conjunction with FIG 1100.
[0047]
In the case where the device 200 needs inter-cell handover, the search unit 201 may acquire the configuration information of the first subset indication from the base station in accordance with the current serving radio resource control (RRC). A set of synchronization signal sequences may include a first plurality of cell search frequency range for the subset, and the subset of the first sequence number is included in the RRC configuration information.
[0048]
If the search unit 201 using a first subset of all the sequences are not searched for the target cell, it may be used in the third subset of the sequence to perform a search. Here is the third subset of said plurality of first cell search frequency range for one of the proper subset and different from the first subset.
[0049]
FIG 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of wireless communication by the terminal-side apparatus disclosed embodiments of the present embodiment is used. In step S301, the synchronous signal sequence and the target frequency range to be searched corresponding to the search of the target cell. For example, in the case where the target frequency range belongs to the first frequency range, using the synchronization signal sequence centralized synchronization signal a first sequence of sub-set of the target cell searching. Here, a first subset of the subset of the set of synchronization signal sequence. In step S302, based on the searched synchronized synchronization signal, so that the synchronization device to a target cell. 2 and described with specific embodiments and modified the same in connection with FIG. 3 in FIG. 1 of the steps involved is not repeated here.
[0050]
4 will be described below with reference to FIG base station side radio communication device system embodiment of the present disclosure in accordance with 400. Device 400 includes an identifier and the group determination unit 401 secondary synchronization signal sequence generating unit 402. Identification group determining unit 401 is configured to determine a set of physical layer cell identification of the target cell. Specifically, the group determination unit 401 may be identified based on the frequency range of the target cell to determine the physical-layer cell identity group. For example, in a case where the frequency range of the target cell belongs to a first frequency range, the physical-layer cell identity determining a first subset of the group, as a true sub-set of physical layer cell identifier from the cell group identifier of the group set in the physical layer set . In one example, the identification group determining unit 401 may autonomously based on the frequency range of the target cell to determine the physical-layer cell identity group of the target cell. Alternatively, the group determination unit 401 may be identified based on the frequency range of the target cell to determine a physical layer cell identification of the target cell group according to the configuration performed by the operator's operation management and maintenance (OAM). In one example, the device 400 may further comprise means for determining the frequency range of the target cell belongs to a first frequency range determining unit.
[0051]
Secondary synchronization signal sequence generating unit 402 is configured based on the identity determined by the set of physical-layer cell identity group determination unit 401 generates a secondary synchronization signal sequence of secondary synchronization signal of the target cell. In one embodiment, the SSS secondary synchronization signal may be used Zadoff-Chu sequence of length 63 (intermediate DC subcarrier (DC subcarrier), the length of the transmission is actually 62), plus an additional reserved with the boundary 5 as a protective band sub-carriers, is formed occupies a central 72 subcarriers (without DC) of the SSS. Whether frequency division multiplexing (FDD) or time division multiplexing (TDD), SSS in subframes 0 and 5 on the transport. In LTE, SSS has its special design. For example, 2 the SSS (the SSS . 1 and the SSS 2 are located in subframe 0 and subframe 5) value 168 is derived from a set of possible values for example, the number of elements of subset 56), (see Table standard 36.211 6.11.2.1-1, SSS . 1 in the range of SSS and 2 are different, thus allowing a UE receives only the SSS timing system detects the 10ms frame (i.e., where the subframe position 0) the reason for this is that: cell search process, UE searches for a plurality of cells, the time of the search window may not be enough UE detects more than one SSS.
[0052]
In one embodiment, the first frequency range may be a range of an unlicensed frequency radio communication system. The target cell may be a cell unlicensed spectrum access. Without explanation, the first frequency range may be a need to speed up the synchronization process of other frequency ranges. For example, in a scenario with dense small cell deployment, if the UE is moving at high speed is also required rapid access to the small cell. Accordingly, the frequency range may be as small cell a first frequency range, thus speeding up the synchronization process.
[0053]
FIG 5 is a block diagram illustrating a base station apparatus 500 side, the wireless communication system in the disclosed embodiments of the present embodiment. FIG. Apparatus 500 comprises: the group identifier determination unit 501, a secondary synchronization signal sequence generating unit 502, the communication unit 503 and an information update unit 504. And a group determining unit 501 identifies the secondary synchronization signal sequence generating unit 502 has the same function and structure unit 401 and the secondary synchronization signal sequence generating unit determines the group identifier 402 described in connection with FIG. 4 is omitted here.
[0054]
In the first frequency range is a frequency range unlicensed wireless communication system, and the target cell of Example unlicensed spectrum access cell, the device 500 may transmit a secondary synchronization signal in an unlicensed frequency band corresponding to the target cell via the communication unit 503 .

At time T95, UE in the cell with the working frequency synchronization unauthorized, and thus the normal communication.
[0066]
At time T96, UE detects whether the use of a proper subset of the synchronization sequence signal interference caused by the UE on the unlicensed frequency band received reference signal is too large. If the interference is too large, at a time T97UE excessive interference indicating a detection result to the cell base station. Alternatively, the notification may be a primary component carrier (licensed band), or a secondary component carrier (unlicensed frequency) transmitting on. At time T98, the base station in response to the notification received subset replaced with another one, or select a signal sequence (e.g. secondary synchronization signal sequence) set on the basis of the atom. Then, in time sequence, or a subset of T99 and T910, respectively, the newly selected base station to the UE, and others. Here, T99, and T910 may be the same timing, the timing may be different.
