Description

一种上行同步方法、装置及可读存储介质 技术领域
本公开涉及无线通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种上行同步方法、装置及可读存储介质。
背景技术
第五代(5th generation，5G)通信技术中，引入了非陆地/地面网络(non-terrestrial networks，NTN)通信。NTN通信中，用户设备(User Equipment，UE)通过卫星或无人机获得无线资源。
5G网络需要保证上下行的同步。对于网络设备而言，接收到用户设备上行信号的上行时间(timing)相较于发送下行信号的下行时间存在延迟。并且不同UE对应的延迟不同，使得不同UE的上行时间在网络设备侧不对齐，这会导致UE间发送数据产生干扰。
为消除UE之间的不同延迟，网络设备通过发送定时提前(Timing Advance，TA)调整命令，使UE的上行时间提前一定时间，来保证所有UE到达基站侧的上行时间都对齐。在随机接入过程中，UE通过随机接入信道(Random Access Channel，RACH)发送前导序列(preamble)，网络设备根据前导序列，通过返回给UE的随机接入消息指示TA值，实现调整UE的上行时间。
对于陆地/地面网络TN而言，基站可以根据前导序列确定TA值。而对于NTN而言，不同UE间的延迟差值更大，网络设备无法直接根据前导序列确定UE上行时间的TA调整信息，需要采用TA预补偿方式。目前，与TA预补偿相关的信息具有相应的有效时间，失效后UE将无法进行TA预补偿。

具体实施方式
现结合附图和具体实施方式对本公开实施例进一步说明。
这里将详细地对示例性实施例进行说明，其示例表示在附图中。下面的描述涉及附图时，除非另有表示，不同附图中的相同数字表示相同或相似的要素。以下示例性实施例中所描述的实施方式并不代表与本公开实施例相一致的所有实施方式。相反，它们仅是与如所附权利要求书中所详述的、本公开的一些方面相一致的装置和方法的例子。
本公开实施例提供的一种上行同步方法，应用于非地面网络NTN系统100。图1示出了本申请实施例适用的一种可能的非陆地/地面网络系统的架构。该系统100可由用户设备101、第一网络设备102以及第二网络设备103组成。其中，第一网络设备102和第二网络设备103之间的通信链路为反馈链路(feeder link)；第二网络设备103和用户设备101之间的通信链路为服务链路(service link)。
用户设备101可以是能够接收网络设备调度和指示信息的无线终端设备,如用于向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备，或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。用户设备101可以经无线接入网(如，radio access network，RAN)与一个或多个核心网或者互联网进行通信，无线终端设备可以是移动终端设备，如移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话，手机(mobile phone))、计算机和用户设备101通信芯片，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，它们可与无线接入网交换语言和/或数据。终端具体可以是个人通信业务(personal communication service，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，WLL)站、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant，PDA)、平板电脑(Pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑等设备。终端也可以包括订户单元(subscriber unit)、订户站(subscriber station)，移动站(mobile station)、移动台(mobile station，MS)、远程站(remote station)、接入点(access point，AP)、远程终端设备(remote terminal)、接入终端设备(access terminal)、用户终端设备(user terminal)、用户代理(user agent)、用户站(subscriber station，SS)、用户端设备(customer premises equipment，CPE)、终端(terminal)、移动终端(mobile terminal，MT)等。无线终端设备也可以是可穿戴设备以及下一代通信系统，例如，5G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network，PLMN)网络中的终端设备、NR通信系统中的终端设备等。
第一网络设备102可以是关口站或称地面站、地球站、信关站(gateway)，可用于连接第二网络设备103与核心网。
第二网络设备103可以是卫星(或称卫星基站)，静止轨道(geostationary earth orbit,GEO)卫星，非静止轨道(none-geostationary earth orbit，NGEO)的中轨道(medium earth orbit，MEO)卫星和低轨道(low earth orbit，LEO)卫星，高空通信平台(high altitude platform station，HAPS)等，这里不做限制。如图2所示，为典型的NTN中卫星103的高度、轨道及覆盖范围。
第二网络设备103如卫星处理信号的方式包括透传模式和再生模式。图3为透传模式的示意图，图4为再生模式的示意图。
在如图3所示的透传模式中，NTN地面站102将gNB的信号发送给卫星103，卫星103首 先将收到的信号转换到卫星频段，再将卫星频段的信号下发给UE。透传模式中卫星103类似于中继器(repeater)，除了进行频率转换与信号放大外，并不对gNB的信号解调。
在如图4所示的再生模式中，NTN地面站102将gNB的信号发送给卫星103，卫星103首先对信号进行解调译码后再重新编码调制(即再生过程)，然后卫星103通过卫星频段向UE101发送再生的信号。
在5G通信中，下行同步是通过UE101接收网络设备103发送的下行同步信号来获取下行同步。在获取到下行同步后，UE需要进行上行同步以保证所有UE的上行信号到达网络设备的时间与网络设备的上行时间对齐。
上行同步是通过UE发起随机接入来获得。UE101发送前导码给网络设备，网络设备通过接收前导码来获取UE和网络设备间的传输时延，然后网络设备向UE下发定时提前(Timing Advance，TA)命令。其中，TA值等于两倍的传输时延，UE按TA指示的值将上行提前来获取上行同步。
由于网络设备发送的下行信号到达UE101会经历单向传播时延，因此UE接收下行信号的下行时间(timing)相比基站发送下行信号时间会延迟一个单向传播时延的时间。当UE将自身的上行时间与下行时间对齐后进行上行发送时，上行信号还需经历一个单向传播时延的时间才到达网络设备。由此，对于网络设备而言，接收到UE上行信号的上行时间相较于发送下行信号的下行时间延迟了一个往返时延(Round-Trip Time，RTT)。
不同UE对应的RTT不同，使得不同UE的上行时间在网络设备侧不对齐，导致UE间发送数据产生干扰。网络设备可以通过发送TA调整命令，使UE的上行时间提前一个对应的RTT时间，来保证所有UE到达基站侧的上行时间都对齐。
在随机接入过程中，当UE101在一个RACH时机(记为RO)发送前导序列(preamble)后，网络设备接收到该前导序列时需要知道接收的前导序列所对应的发送RO，以便在随机接入响应时正确寻址该随机接入请求，以及进行上行定时调整。
TN中前导序列设计允许的最大RTT是0.68ms(对应100km覆盖半径)，小于一个子帧。因此，网络设备接收前导序列的子帧与该前导序列发送所对应的RO子帧相同，上行定时偏差通过子帧边界偏差即可获得。确定了上行定时偏差，即可确定定时提前TA量。
而NTN中不同UE101到达第一网络设备102的RTT差值最高可达10.3ms，即不同UE间的延迟差值更大，第一网络设备102无法从接收到的前导序列推测出其发送的RO子帧以及上行定时偏差。除非RO之间的间隔大于最大往返时延差值，从而保证不同RO的前导序列接收窗口不重叠，但此种情况会对RO资源带来较大限制。
对NTN中涉及的前导序列接收模糊性问题，可以通过TA预补偿来调整，即UE101在发送前导序列前，将UE101的上行时间(UL timing)根据UE101和第一网络设备102之间的RTT来进行提前，从而保证不同UE采用相同RO发送的前导序列到达基站的时间差均限制在1个子帧以内。
在NTN中，UE101到第一网络设备102的RTT包含两部分：一部分是UE101与卫星103间服务链路的RTT，该部分为UE specific TA部分；另一部分是卫星103与第一网络设备102间反馈链路的RTT，该部分为公共定时提前量(common TA)部分。其中，common TA部分的一部分可以由第一网络设备102来补偿，common TA部分的另一部分可以由UE101来补偿。由UE101补偿的部分，由第一网络设备102通过系统消息发送给UE101。
第一网络设备102除了广播需要UE101补偿的common TA外，还会广播卫星的星历信息，来帮助UE101获取卫星103的位置以便计算UE101到卫星103的RTT。由于卫星的移动性，common TA和星历信息都会发生变化，因此系统消息(SIB)里广播的星历信息和 common TA会有一个上行同步有效定时器(UL synchronization validity timer)。
相关技术中，对于处于连接态的UE(例如IOT终端)，仅支持在执行RLF时才能获取SIB消息。而如果上行同步有效定时器超时，则表示之前从SIB接收的星历信息和common TA信息已失效，从而UE101将无法再获取卫星103的位置，无法计算UE101到卫星103的RTT，也就无法做TA预补偿，最终将导致上行失步(UL同步loss)。
UL同步loss后，UE需要重新获取SIB，但是由于UE不支持除执行RLF之外的连接态时获取SIB，因此提出通过UE发起RLF流程或新的流程来重新获取SIB。
本公开实施例提供了一种上行同步方法。参照图5，图5是根据一示例性实施例示出的上行同步方法的流程图，如图5所示，此方法包括：
步骤S501，用户设备101响应于与定时提前量TA预补偿参考信息相关的上行同步有效定时器超时，确定TA预补偿参考信息失效，发起RLF流程或非RLF流程获取承载TA预补偿参考信息的系统消息；其中，TA预补偿参考信息包括星历信息和公共定时提前量common TA中的至少一种。
