Disclosure of Invention
In the course of research, the applicant found that, since the forward link and the reverse link of the satellite communication system uniformly use Discrete Fourier Transform-Spread-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM) waveforms, if the SSB is not placed at one end of the transmission bandwidth, the transmission bandwidth will be segmented, and the DFT-S-OFDM waveform has the characteristic of higher Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) with the larger number of segments. If the PAPR is high, the power amplifier efficiency at the transmitting end is reduced, and since the satellite link is nonlinear, the higher the PAPR, the higher the nonlinearity is, which leads to increased nonlinearity, and adverse effects such as third-order intermodulation, EVM index degradation, and SINR degradation are generated.

Detailed Description
The technical solution disclosed in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to a base station of satellite communication, but is not limited to the base station of satellite communication, and the technical solution described in the embodiments of the present application is applicable to any wireless communication system with DFT-s-OFDM waveform.
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating a method for issuing a downlink synchronization signal according to an embodiment of the present application, including the following steps:
s101: the base station sets the value of the first offset to 0 or (N-M) · 2μ。
The SSB versus transmission bandwidth is shown in fig. 2: the SSB includes 20 Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs), which are numbered PRB0 … … PRB19 in sequence. The transmission bandwidth includes a plurality of Common Resource Blocks (CRBs), which are sequentially numbered as CRBs 0 … … CRBMAX.
The first offset is a spectrum offset between the PRB0 and the CRBO, and the location of the CRBO is generally referred to as PointA, and therefore the first offset is also referred to as offsetttopointa.
The base station needs to allocate the value of offsetToPointA, and when offsetToPointA is 0 as shown in fig. 3, it is described that PRB0 overlaps CRBO, that is, SSB is allocated at the low frequency end of the transmission bandwidth.
As shown in fig. 4, offsetttopointa ═ 2 (N-M) ·μWhen M is 20, PRB19 overlaps CRBMAX, i.e., SSB is located at the high-frequency end of the transmission bandwidth. Wherein, the corresponding relationship between μ and the interval of the sub-carriers is shown in table 1:

In the above description, the SSB includes 20 PRBs as an example, but the procedure described in this embodiment is not limited to this.
S102: and calculating the value of the second offset according to the frequency value of the position of the SSB, the synchronization grid and the channel grid.
Wherein the second offset is an offset k of the zero-number subcarrier in the PRB0 and the zero-number subcarrier in the target CRBSSB. As shown in fig. 3, when PRB0 overlaps CRBO, kSSBThe offset between the zero-numbered subcarrier in PRB0 and the zero-numbered subcarrier in CRB0 is shown in FIG. 4, where PRB19 overlaps with CRBO, k isSSBIs the offset of the zero subcarrier in PRB0 from the zero subcarrier in CRBMAX-19.
The manner of calculating the value of the second offset can be found in the prior art, and is not described herein.
In addition, k is
SSBThe highest bit in the PBCH Payload
At the calculation of k
SSBThen, it needs to be converted into binary to obtain
The value of (c).
In the course of research, the applicant found that, in the case where the spacing of the sub-carriers in the transmission bandwidth is greater than or equal to 120KHZ,
all values of (A) are 0. However, the interval between the sub-carriers in the transmission bandwidth is greater than or equal to 120KHZ, which is a common scenario, so in this embodiment, a simple determination is provided
That is, when the spacing between the sub-carriers in the transmission bandwidth is greater than or equal to 120KHZ, the highest bit does not need to be calculated according to the frequency value of the SSB, the synchronization trellis and the channel trellis, but the highest bit can be directly calculated
Is set to zero.
Of course, in the case where the spacing between subcarriers in the transmission bandwidth is greater than or equal to 120KHZ, it is straightforward to apply
Setting to zero is only an optional way, and it is also possible to calculate the value of the second offset according to the frequency value of the SSB, the synchronization grid and the channel grid, and then further determine the value of the second offset using the prior art
The value of (c).
S103: and issuing a synchronization signal comprising a value of the first offset and a value of the second offset.
Optionally, in the prior art, the synchronization signal may further include other information, and in this embodiment, the synchronization signal may also include such existing information.
As can be seen from the flow shown in fig. 1, the base station sets the offset value so that the SSB is located at any one of the two ends of the transmission bandwidth and is not located in the middle area any more, thereby avoiding dividing the transmission bandwidth into three segments, and thus reducing the PAPR to improve the communication performance.
Further, after the UE is powered on, the SSB is blindly detected according to the frequency band supported and the search rule of the synchronization grid.
For example, assuming that the Operating Band supported by the terminal is n1, the subcarrier spacing of the SSB is 15KHz as known from the synchronization grid; pattern of SSB is Type A; the GSCN ranges from 5279 to 5419 with a step size of 1.
Sequentially determining the N value and the M value corresponding to each GSCN according to the range and the search step length of the GSCN, and then determining the frequency domain position SS of the SSB according to the N value and the M valueREF。
GSCN=3N+(M-3)/2;N=1:2499,M∈{1,3,5},SSREF=N*1200kHz+M*50kHz;
When GSCN is 5279, 3N + (M-3)/2 is 5279, N is 1760, and M is 1; SSREF=2112.05MHz;
When GSCN is 5280, then 3N + (M-3)/2 is 5280, N is 1760, and M is 3; SSREF=2112.15MHz;
When GSCN is 5281, then 3N + (M-3)/2 is 5281, N is 1760 and M is 5; SSREF=2112.25MHz;
......
When GSCN is 5417, then 3N + (M-3)/2 is 5417, N is 1806, and M is 1; SSREF=2167.25MHz;
When GSCN is 5418, then 3N + (M-3)/2 is 5418, N is 1806, and M is 3; SSREF=2167.35MHz;
When GSCN is 5419, then 3N + (M-3)/2 is 5419, N is 1806, and M is 5; SSREF=2167.45MHz;
The terminal searches frequency points according to the sequence of 2112.05- - >2112.15- - >2112.25MHz.. 2167.25MHz- - >2167.35MHz- - >2167.45MH in the frequency domain until SSB is detected.
As can be seen from the above process, each GSCN corresponds to a frequency domain location of an SSB within the GSCN range corresponding to Operating Band. SSB detection is to search from a low-frequency point to a high-frequency point in sequence according to a specified step length. When the SSB is located at the low frequency end of the transmission bandwidth, the UE may search for the SSB more quickly. When the SSB is located at the high frequency end of the transmission bandwidth, the number of blind tests may increase relative to when the SSB is located at the low frequency end of the transmission bandwidth.
For a more detailed procedure of the UE blind-detecting the SSB, reference may be made to the prior art, and details are not described here.
Fig. 5 shows PAPR of downlink transmission bandwidth when SSB is placed in the middle region of transmission bandwidth and at one end of transmission bandwidth, and it can be seen that SSB can obtain lower PAPR at the edge of transmission bandwidth. Where CCDF represents the complementary cumulative distribution function.

Wherein the setting module is used for setting the value of the first offset to 0 or (N-M) · 2μ. The first offset is the offset of a physical resource block zero PRB0 in the SSB and a general resource block zero CRBO in the transmission bandwidth, where N is the number of resource blocks in the transmission bandwidth, M is the number of physical resource blocks PRB in the SSB, and μ is determined according to the interval of subcarriers in the transmission bandwidth. The sending module is used for sending down a downlink synchronous signal, and the downlink synchronous signal comprises a value of the first offset.
Optionally, the correspondence between μ and the interval of the subcarrier is as described above, and is not described herein again.
Optionally, the downlink synchronization signal further includes: the second offset is the offset between the zero-number subcarrier in PRB0 and the zero-number subcarrier in CRBO. In this case, the setup module is further configured to: before a sending module issues a downlink synchronous signal, if the interval of subcarriers is 120KHZ, the highest bit in the second offset is used
Is set to 0.
Optionally, M is 20.
