现有的宏网能够达到的室外覆盖率高于室内覆盖率, 尤其在室内的墙角 处或者地下室等处, 因信号的强度较弱, 导致无法通信。 但是, 有不少应用 是需要在室内进行, 比如在智能电表的应用中, 希望放在地下室的电表能够 通过网络定期上报数据给电力公司, 这就要求在室内信号较弱的地方也能与 网络进行通信。
为了达到室内的覆盖的目的, 一种方案是增加室内的接入点, 但这给运 营商带来巨大的投资。
目前, 提出了一种新的覆盖增强的方案, 能够在提供网络覆盖增强的同 时, 降低运营商建网的成本。 该方案可称为 Twin UE方案, Twin UE包括两 个 UE( User Equipment,用户设备,即终端),其中一个是主终端,称为 DM-UE ( D2D master UE, D2D主终端; D2D: device-to-device, 设备到设备), 另一 个是从终端, 称为 DS-UE ( D2D slave UE, D2D从终端)。
为了使 DS-UE能够接收网络的数据以及 DS-UE发送数据给网络,则需要 保证 DM-UE以及 DS-UE与网絡侧的同步。 由于 DM-UE在网络覆盖内, 可 实现与网络侧的同步,因此通过 DS-UE与 DM-UE间的同步,即可实现 DM-UE 以及 DS-UE与网络侧的同步。但目前尚未提供 DM-UE与 DS-UE之间同步的 方案。 发明内容

为了更清楚地说明本发明实施例中的技术方案, 下面将对实施例描述中 所需要使用的附图作筒要介绍, 显而易见地, 下面描述中的附图仅仅是本发 明的一些实施例, 对于本领域的普通技术人员来讲, 在不付出创造性劳动性 的前提下, 还可以根据这些附图获得其他的附图。

本发明实施例提供了一种 D2D终端间的初始同步方案, 通过该方案可以 使 DM-UE与 DS-UE获取同步资源, 从而进行 DM-UE与 DS-UE间的同步。 进一步的, DM-UE还可以根据 DS-UE发送的同步反馈信息, 对同步信号发 送功率进行调整,以达到节省终端开销和降低或者避免对其他 020对(即 Twin UE ) 的干 4尤的目的。
通常情况下, DM-UE位于网络信号覆盖区域, 比如, 可将位于网络信号 覆盖区域的 UE配置为 DM-UE。本发明实施例中, DM-UE可对用于传输同步 信号的时频资源集进行测量并将测量结果上报给网络设备, 网络设备根据该 测量结果为该 DM-UE分配同步资源,该同步资源可包括用于传输同步信号的 时频资源 (本发明实施例中的同步信号是指 DM-UE与 DS-UE之间的同步信 号 ), 进一步的还可包括用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资源; 该 DM-UE在网 络设备为该 DM-UE分配的用于传输同步信号的时频资源上发送同步信号,如 果网络设备还为该 DM-UE 分配了用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资源, 则该 DM-UE还在该用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资源上接收与该 DM-UE对应的 DS-UE发送的同步反馈信息, 并可根据接收到的同步反馈信息调整同步信号 的发送功率。
考虑到 DS-UE的安装位置通常不在网络信号覆盖区域之内, 本发明实施 例中可首先将 DS-UE放置于网络信号覆盖范围内,以使 DS-UE可从网络设备 获得与该 DS-UE对应的 DM-UE的同步资源。 该同步资源可包括用于传输同 步信号的时频资源, 进一步的还可包括用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资源; DS-UE 可在该用于传输同步信号的时频资源上接收与该 DS-UE 对应的 DM-UE发送的同步信号,进而根据接收到的同步信号与该 DM-UE进行同步, 还可在该用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资源上发送同步反馈信息。 DS-UE也 可以通过信号搜索的方式获得与该 DS-UE对应的 DM-UE的同步资源。
在上述过程中, 网络设备主要负责为 DM-UE分配同步资源 (包括用于传 输同步信号的时频资源, 还可包括用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资源), 并将 分配的同步资源通知给该 DM-UE和与该 DM-UE对应的 DS-UE。 进一步的, 网络设备还可以对 DM-UE与 DS-UE的同步过程进行控制,比如指示 DM-UE 开始发送同步信号和 /或指示 DM-UE停止发送同步信号。
下面结合附图, 分别对 DM-UE侧的处理流程、 DS-UE侧的处理流程以 及网络侧的处理流程进行详细描述。
参见图 2, 为本发明实施例提供的 DM-UE侧的处理流程示意图, 如图所 示, 该流程可包括:
步驟 201 : DM-UE对用于传输同步信号的时频资源集进行测量。
具体实施时, DM-UE可采用以下两种方式中的任意一种进行时频资源集 的测量:
方式一: DM-UE根据预先设置于该 DM-UE的用于传输同步信号的时频 资源集进行测量。 具体的, 可预先在 DM-UE中设置同步资源集, 其中至少包 括用于传输同步信号的时频资源集, 比如通过协议规定的方式规定该同步资 源集。 所述用于传输同步信号的时频资源集中的时频资源为上行时频资源, 该上行时频资源可包括但不限于 RB ( Radio Bearer, 无线承载) 资源、 符号。 表 1示出了一种时频资源集的形式。
表 1 : 同步资源集
资源序号 用于传输同步信号的时频资源
1 每 5个帧的第 0、 5子帧的 RB=2的第 5、 6符号
2 每 m个子帧的第 n、 k子帧的 RB=p的第 x、 y符
号 进一步的, 同步资源集中还可包括用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资源集 , 用于传输同步信号反馈信息的时频资源集中的时频资源为上行时频资源, 该 上行时频资源可包括但不限于 RB资源、符号, 并且用于传输同步反馈信息的 时频资源与用于传输同步信号的时频资源存在一一对应的关系。 表 2 示出了 一种时频资源集的形式:
表 2: 同步资源表
Figure imgf000016_0001
表 1和表 2中的 m、 n、 k、 p、 x、 y, 以及 m,、 n,、 k'、 p'、 x,、 y,均为示意, 不代表任何特定含义。
DM-UE在同步资源集中的每个用于传输同步信号的时频资源上接收信 号, 以检测该时频资源集中各个时频资源上的信号强度。
方式二: DM-UE从网络设备发送的广播消息中获取同步资源集, 其中至 少包括用于传输同步信号的时频资源集, 并可进一步包括用于传输同步反馈 信息的时频资源集, DM-UE根据获取到的用于传输同步信号的时频资源集进 行测量。
具体的, 网络设备可通过广播消息发送同步资源集, 比如可在广播消息 中增加信息单元来指示该同步资源集。 同步资源集的内容同前所述。 DM-UE 接收到该广播消息后, 从该广播消息获得用于传输同步信号的时频资源集, 并在该时频资源集中的每个时频资源上接收信号, 以检测该时频资源集中的 各个时频资源上的信号强度。 步骤 202: 该 DM-UE向网络设备上报测量结果。
具体实施时, DM-UE可在发起网络接入过程 (比如随机接入过程) 并接 入网络后, 向网络设备上报测量结果。 所述测量结果为 DM-UE所检测到的用 于传输同步信号的时频资源集中的各个时频资源上的信号强度。
进一步的, DM-UE可在发送的随机接入请求消息携带的接入原因中, 指 示出接入原因为上报测量结果, 并可进一步在上报终端能力信息时指示出该 DM-UE的类型, 即指示出该 DM-UE为 D2D主终端。
步骤 203 : 该 DM-UE接收该网络设备根据该 DM-UE上报的测量结果为该 DM-UE分配的同步资源,所述同步资源可包括用于传输同步信号的时频资源, 进一步的还可包括用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资源。
具体实施时, 在网络设备仅为 DM-UE分配用于传输同步信号的时频资源 的情况下, 该网络设备可根据 DM-UE上报的时频资源集中各时频资源上的信 号强度, 选择其中信号强度较小的时频资源作为该 DM-UE的用于传输同步信 号的时频资源 , 并将为该 DM-UE分配的用于传输同步信号的时频资源通知给 该 DM-UE。
在网络设备为 DM-UE分配用于传输同步信号的时频资源和用于传输同步 反馈信息的时频资源的情况下, 网络设备上可预置如表 2所示的同步资源集, 网络设备可根据 DM-UE上报的时频资源集中各个时频资源上的信号强度, 选 择其中信号强度最较小的 "用于传输同步信号的时频资源" , 并通过查询表 2 获得对应的 "用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资源" , 并将该 "用于传输同步 信号的时频资源"以及"用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资源"分配给该 DM-UE。
网络设备在将分配的同步资源通知给 DM-UE时, 可将同步资源的参数发 送给 DM-UE,也可仅将同步资源的资源序号发送给 DM-UE,以减少网络开销。
DM-UE收到资源序号后, 可通过查询预置于本地的同步资源集获得对应的同 步资源。
优选的, 网絡设备根据 DM-UE上报的时频资源集中各时频资源上的信号 强度, 选择 "用于传输同步信号的时频资源" 时, 可选择信号强度最小的时 频资源, 以最大限度的降低或避免 DM-UE发送的同步信号对其它 Twin UE的 干扰。
步骤 204~205: 该 DM-UE根据为该 DM-UE分配的同步资源发送同步信号。 进一步的, 在同步资源中还包括用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资源的情况下, 该 DM-UE根据用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资源接收与该 DM-UE对应的 DS-UE发送的同步反馈信息。
具体实施时, DM-UE可在接收到网络设备为该 DM-UE分配的同步资源 后, 立即在该同步资源上发送同步信号, 并可进一步根据该同步资源接收同 步反馈信息 (在为该 DM-UE分配了用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资源的情况 下) ; DM-UE也可在收到网络设备发送的同步指示后, 根据该同步资源发送 同步信号, 并可进一步根据该同步资源接收同步反馈信息 (在为该 DM-UE分 配了用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资源的情况下) 。
所述同步反馈信息可能是同步确认信息, 也可能是功率调整指示信息。 如果 DM-UE接收到的是同步确认信息 , 则 DM-UE可根据该同步确认信息确认 与发送该同步确认信息的 DS-UE同步完成, 并可进一步停止发送同步信号; 如果 DM-UE接收到的是功率调整指示信息, 则 DM-UE调整同步信号的发送功 率。
较佳的, DM-UE在未收到任何的功率调整指示信息之前, DM-UE以最大 固定功率发送同步信号, DM-UE接收到降低功率的指示信息后, 降低同步信 号发送功率。 进一步的, 如果 DM-UE收到提高功率的指示信息, 则提高同步 信号发送功率。
进一步的, 考虑到一个 DM-UE可能对应多个 DS-UE, 在这种情况下, 当 DM-UE接收到其对应的所有 DS-UE发送的功率调整指示(如降低功率的指示 ) 后, 才降低同步信号发送功率; 当 DM-UE接收到其对应的所有 DS-UE发送的 同步确认指示后, 才停止发送同步信号。
进一步的, 为了提高安全性, 可在上述流程的基础上, 在 DM-UE的随机 接入过程中, 通过核心网设备对该 DM-UE进行鉴权。 相应的, 核心网设备鉴 权通过后通知所述网络设备 (如基站) 鉴权成功, 所述网络设备在获知该
DM-UE鉴权成功后, 为该 DM-UE分配同步资源, 并将为该 DM-UE分配的同步 资源通知给该 DM-UE。
通过以上描述可以看出, DM-UE通过向网络设备上报对用于传输同步信 号的时频资源集进行测量的结果, 使网络设备根据该测量结果为该 DM-UE分 配同步资源, 从而在该同步资源上发送同步信号, 以实现 D2D终端间的初始 同步。
参见图 3 ,为本发明实施例提供的 DS-UE侧的处理流程示意图,如图所示, 该流程可包括:
步骤 301: DS-UE获取与该 DS-UE对应的 DM-UE的同步资源。
具体实施时, DS-UE可采用以下两种方式中的任意一种获取与该 DS-UE 对应的 DM-UE的同步资源:
方式一: DS-UE通过对预设的用于传输同步信号的时频资源集进行信号 搜索的方式, 确定出与该 DS-UE对应的 DM-UE的同步资源。
通常情况下, DM-UE会发送广播消息, 消息内包含该 DM-UE的 ID, 并且 DS-UE中预置有该 DS-UE对应的 DM-UE的 ID (通常在出厂时预置) 。 本发明 实施例中, 还在 DS-UE中预置同步资源集, 其中至少包括用于传输同步信号 的时频资源集, 该时频资源集的内容同前所述。 进一步的, 该同步资源集中 还可包括用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资源集, "用于传输同步反馈信息的 时频资源" 与 "用于传输同步信号的时频资源" 存在一一对应的关系。 同步 资源集的内容同前所述。
DS-UE根据预先设置于该 DS-UE的用于传输同步信号的时频资源集进行 信号搜索, 当搜索到的信号中所携带的终端标识为该 DS-UE对应的 DM-UE的 标识时, 将当前搜索到的信号所使用的时频资源确定为与该 DS-UE对应的 DM-UE用于传输同步信号的时频资源。 进一步的, 还可根据确定出的 DM-UE "用于传输同步信号的时频资源" 查询到对应的 "用于传输同步反馈信息的 时频资源" 。 方式二: DS-UE接收网络设备通知的与该 DS-UE对应的 DM-UE用于传输 同步信号的时频资源。
具体实施时, 网络设备在通过图 2中步骤 203的方式为 DM-UE分配同步资 源后进行记录, 当网络设备获知该 DM-UE对应的 DS-UE接入网络时, 将为该 DM-UE分配的同步资源通知给该接入网络的 DS-UE。
步骤 302: 该 DS-UE根据获取到的同步资源中的用于传输同步信号的时频 资源, 接收与该 DS-UE对应的 DM-UE发送的同步信号, 并根据接收到的同步 信号与该 DS-UE对应的 DM-UE进行同步。
步骤 303 : 进一步的, 在该同步资源中还包括用于传输同步反馈信息的时 频资源时, 该 DS-UE还在该用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资源位置上发送同 步反馈信息。
具体实施时, 若该 DS-UE对应的 DM-UE发送的同步信号的强度超过设定 门限, 则该 DS-UE向该 DM-UE发送功率调整指示, 以使 DM-UE根据该指示调 整同步信号发送功率; 否则在同步成功后向与该 DM-UE发送同步确认指示 , 以使 DM-UE停止发送同步信号。
通过以上描述可以看出, DS-UE通过获取与该 DS-UE对应的 DM-UE的同 步资源, 从而根据该同步资源接收该 DM-UE发送的同步信号, 实现 D2D终端 间的初始同步。
参见图 4, 为本发明实施例提供的网络侧的处理流程示意图, 如图所示, 该流程可包括:
步骤 401 : 网络设备接收 DM-UE上报的用于传输同步信号的时频资源集的 测量结果。 DM-UE根据同步资源集进行测量以及上报测量结果的具体实现, 同前所述, 在此不再详述。
步骤 402: 该网络设备根据该测量结果为该 DM-UE分配同步资源。 同前所 述, 网络设备为 DM-UE分配的同步资源中, 可包括用于传输同步信号的时频 资源, 还可包括用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资源, 具体实现方式同前所述, 在此不再详述。 步骤 403: 该网络设备将为该 DM-UE分配的同步资源通知给该 DM-UE, 具体实现方式同前所述, 在此不再详述。
进一步的, 该流程还可包括以下步骤:
步骤 404: 该网络设备在获知与该 DM-UE对应的 DS-UE接入网络后, 将为 该 DM-UE分配的同步资源通知给该 DS-UE。
进一步的, 该流程还可包括以下步骤:
步骤 405: 该网絡设备在获知与该 DM-UE对应的 DS-UE接入网絡后, 通知 该 DM-UE发送同步信号。
上述步骤 404和步骤 405没有严格时序要求。
进一步的 , 该网络设备在接收到该 DM-UE对应的 DS-UE发送的用于通知 该 DS-UE已驻留宏小区的消息后, 指示该 DM-UE停止发送同步信号。
通过以上描述可以看出, 网络设备根据 DM-UE上报的对用于传输同步信 号的时频资源集的测量结果, 为 DM-UE分配同步资源, 并将分配的同步资源 通知给该 DM-UE, 并可进一步通知给该 DM-UE对应的 DS-UE, 从而使 DM-UE 根据该同步资源发送同步信号, 使 DS-UE根据该同步资源接收同步信号, 从 而实现 D2D终端间的初始同步。进一步的, DS-UE还可根据同步资源中的用于 传输同步反馈信息的时频资源发送同步反馈信息, DM-UE根据同步资源中的 用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资源接收同步反馈信息, 从而根据同步反馈信 息调整同步信号的发送功率, 以节省终端消耗并降低或者避免对其他 D2D对 (即 Twin UE ) 的干扰。
上述流程中所述的网络设备可以是基站。
为了便于理解本发明实施例, 下面以一个具体应用场景为例进行说明。 该具体场景中, DM-UE、 DS-UE中预先保存有 DM-UE与 DS-UE的 ID的映 射关系信息 (可在 UE出厂时配置) , 运营商还将该映射关系信息保存在核心 网侧的功能实体上,该核心网侧的功能实体可以是 MME( Mobility Management Entity, 移动性管理实体) , 也可以是本发明实施例新设置的功能实体, 如 Twin-UE Server (相关用户服务器) 。 参见图 5 , 为该具体应用场景下的 D2D终端间初始同步的流程示意图。 首先, 将 DM-UE以及与该 DM-UE对应的 DS-UE (以下简称 DS-UE )放置 于室内有网络覆盖的位置。 在步骤 501中, 网络广播用于传输同步信号的时频 资源集, 在步骤 502中, DM-UE对广播的时频资源集进行测量, 得到该时频资 源集当中在各个时频资源的信号强度。
然后, 在步骤 503中, DM-UE发起随机接入过程, 在该过程中, DM-UE 在接入请求原因当中标注是上报用于传输同步信号的时频资源集的测量结 果, 并且在上报 UE能力的时候指示其类型。 核心网设备对该 DM-UE的进行网 络鉴权, 鉴权通过后 DM-UE接入网络。 在步骤 504中, DM-UE接入网络后, 上报上述用于传输同步信号的时频资源集中的各个时频资源的信号强度; 在 步骤 505中,基站根据上报的测量结果为该 DM-UE分配同步资源, 该同步资源 中包括用于传输同步信号的时频资源, 以及用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资 源。
再然后, 在步骤 506中, DS-UE发起随机接入过程接入网絡, 并在上报 UE 能力的时候指示其类型。 核心网设备对该 DS-UE进行鉴权, 鉴权通过后, 在 步骤 507中, 核心网设备根据其存储的有 DM-UE与 DS-UE的 ID的映射关系信 息, 找到与该 DS-UE对应的 DM-UE, 并将找到的 DM-UE的 ID通知给基站; 在 步骤 508中, 基站将该 DM-UE的同步资源通知给该 DS-UE, 并在此之后的步骤 509中, 该 DS-UE发起与基站间的链路的释放过程。 进一步的, 如果没有找到 与该 DS-UE对应的 DM-UE , 则核心网设备通知该 DS-UE没有与之相对应的 DM-UE, 该 DS-UE根据该通知发起与基站间的链路释放过程。
在步骤 510中, 在基站发现 DS-UE接入网络之后, 通过信令的方式通知 DM-UE在分配的用于传输同步信号的时频资源位置上发送同步信号, 并在用 于接收同步反馈信息的时频资源上接收同步反馈信息。
之后, 将 DS-UE放置在实际安装位置上 (DS-UE是否有网络覆盖没有要 求) 。 DS-UE先尝试搜索宏网络, 如果能够驻留在宏网络, 则接入宏网络, 并告知网络侧 (如核心网设备和 /或基站)该 DS-UE驻留在宏网络(比如通过 信令方式通知, 信令消息的内容可以这样的表述 "DS-UE已经驻留在宏网 络,, ) 。 在一个 DM-UE对应一个 DS-UE的情况下, 网络侧在收到该指示后, 通知 DM-UE不用再发送同步信号和对同步反馈信号的检测 (例如可通过信令 方式通知, 信令消息的内容可以这样的表述 "DM-UE停止发送同步信号和对 同步反馈信号的检测" ) 。 如果是一个 DM-UE需要支持多个 DS-UE, 则在网 络侧收到该 DM-UE对应的所有 DS-UE向网络发送驻留宏网络的通知后, 网絡 侧才通知该 DM-UE不用再发送同步信号和对同步反馈信号的检测。
在步骤 511中, DS-UE在无法搜索到宏网络一段时间后 (时间长度可以是 在系统广播消息当中广播的、 在标准当中定义或者是各个厂家自定义的) , 则开始按照获得的同步资源 (用于传输同步信号的时频资源)接收 DM-UE的 同步信号, 根据接收到的同步信号与 DM-UE进行同步, DS-UE将收到的同步 信号的强度与预设门限进行比较, 如果同步信号强度不高于该门限, 则按照 获得的同步资源 (用于传输同步反馈信息的时频资源)在相应时频资源上反 馈同步确认信息; 如果同步信号强度高于该门限, 则在步骤 512中发出降低同 步信号发送功率的调整指示 (该调整调整指示可以是相对值也可以是绝对 值) 。 DS-UE与 DM-UE同步成功后, DS-UE发送同步确认信息。
在步骤 513中, DM-UE接收到降低同步信号发送功率的调整指示后, 降低 同步信号的发送功率, 直到 DM-UE收到同步确认信息后, 初始同步结束, DM-UE停止发送同步信号。
