Technical Field

The present application relates generally to sequence design. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to sequence design of wake-up signals and resynchronization sequences for MTC.

Background

In order to meet the increasing demand for wireless data services since the deployment of fourth generation (4G) communication systems, efforts have been made to develop improved fifth generation (5G) or pre-5G communication systems. The 5G or pre-5G communication system is also referred to as a "super 4G network" or a "post Long Term Evolution (LTE) system". 5G communication systems are known to be implemented in the higher frequency band (mmWave), e.g., the 60GHz band, thereby achieving higher data rates. In order to reduce propagation loss of radio waves and increase transmission distance, beamforming, massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), full-dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO), array antenna, analog beamforming, and massive antenna techniques are discussed with respect to a 5G communication system. In addition, in the 5G communication system, development of system network improvement is being performed based on advanced small cells, cloud Radio Access Network (RAN), ultra dense network, device-to-device (D2D) communication, wireless backhaul, mobile network, cooperative communication, coordinated multipoint (CoMP), reception side interference cancellation, and the like. In the 5G system, quadrature amplitude modulation (FQAM) and Sliding Window Superposition Coding (SWSC) of hybrid shift keying (FSK) and Feher as Advanced Coding Modulation (ACM), and filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC), non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), and Sparse Code Multiple Access (SCMA) as advanced access technologies have been developed.

The internet, a human-centric connectivity network where humans generate and consume information, is evolving into the internet of things (IoT) where distributed entities, such as items, exchange and process data without human intervention. Internet of everything (IoE) has emerged as a combination of IoT technology and big data processing technology through connectivity with cloud servers. Due to the need for technical elements such as "sensing technology", "wired/wireless communication and network infrastructure", "service interface technology", and "security technology" for IoT implementations, sensor networks, machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, Machine Type Communication (MTC), etc. have recently been studied. Such an IoT environment may provide an intelligent internet technology service that creates new value to human life by collecting and analyzing data generated among connected items. IoT can be applied to various fields including smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or interconnected cars, smart grids, healthcare, smart appliances, and advanced medical services through the aggregation and combination between existing Information Technology (IT) and various industrial applications.

In line with this, various attempts have been made to apply the 5G communication system to the IoT network. For example, techniques such as sensor network, MTC, and M2M communication may be implemented through beamforming, MIMO, and array antennas. Applications of cloud RANs, which are the big data processing technologies described above, may also be considered as examples of aggregation between 5G technologies and IoT technologies.

As described above, various services can be provided according to the development of wireless communication systems, and thus methods for easily providing these services are required.

Fig. 1 illustrates an example wireless network in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of the wireless network shown in fig. 1 is for illustration only. Other embodiments of wireless network 100 may be used without departing from the scope of this disclosure.

As shown in fig. 1, the wireless network includes an eNB 101, an eNB102, and an eNB 103. The eNB 101 communicates with the eNB102 and the eNB 103. The eNB 101 also communicates with at least one network 130, such as the internet, a private Internet Protocol (IP) network, or other data network.

The first plurality of UEs includes UE 111, which may be located in a small enterprise (SB), UE 112, which may be located in an enterprise (E), UE 113, which may be located in a WiFi Hotspot (HS), UE 114, which may be located in a first residence (R), UE 115, which may be located in a second residence (R); and a UE116, which may be a mobile device (M), such as a cellular phone, wireless laptop, wireless PDA, etc. eNB103 provides wireless broadband access to network 130 for a second plurality of UEs within coverage area 125 of eNB 103. The second plurality of UEs includes UE 115 and UE 116. In some embodiments, one or more of the eNBs 101-103 may communicate with each other and the UE 111-116 using 5G, LTE-A, WiMAX, WiFi, or other wireless communication technologies.

Depending on the network category, the term "base station" or "BS" may refer to any component (or collection of components) configured to provide wireless access to a network, such as a Transmission Point (TP), a transmission-reception point (TRP), an enhanced base station (eNodeB or eNB), a 5G base station (gNB), a macrocell, a femtocell, a WiFi Access Point (AP), or other wireless-enabled device. The base station may provide wireless access in accordance with one or more wireless communication protocols, e.g., 5G 3GPP new radio interface/access (NR), Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-advanced (LTE-a), High Speed Packet Access (HSPA), Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/G/n/ac, etc. For the sake of convenience, the terms "BS" and "TRP" are used interchangeably in this patent document to refer to network infrastructure components that provide wireless access for remote terminals. Furthermore, depending on the network type, the term "user equipment" or "UE" may refer to any component such as a "mobile station," subscriber station, "" remote terminal, "" wireless terminal, "" reception point, "or" user equipment. For the sake of convenience, the terms "user equipment" and "UE" are used in this patent document to refer to remote wireless equipment that wirelessly accesses a BS, whether the UE is a mobile device (such as a mobile phone or smartphone) or what is commonly considered a stationary device (such as a desktop computer or vending machine).

The proximity of the coverage areas 120 and 125 is shown in dashed lines, and the coverage areas 120 and 125 are shown approximately circular for purposes of illustration and explanation only. It should be clearly understood that the coverage areas associated with an eNB, such as coverage areas 120 and 125, may have other shapes, including irregular shapes, depending on the configuration of the eNB and the variations in radio environment associated with natural and artificial obstructions.

As described in more detail below, one or more of UEs 111-116 include circuitry, procedures, or a combination thereof for efficient wake-up signal design for NB-IoT. In some embodiments, one or more of the eNBs 101-103 include circuitry, procedures, or a combination thereof for efficient wake-up signal design for NB-IoT.

Although fig. 1 illustrates one example of a wireless network, various changes may be made to fig. 1. For example, a wireless network may include any number of enbs and any number of UEs in any suitable arrangement. Further, the eNB 101 may communicate directly with any number of UEs and provide those UEs wireless broadband access to the network 130. Similarly, each eNB102 and 103 may communicate directly with the network 130 and provide direct wireless broadband access to the network 130 to the UEs. Additionally, the enbs 101, 102, and/or 103 may provide access to other or additional external networks, such as an external telephone network or other types of data networks.

Fig. 2 illustrates an example eNB102 in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure. The embodiment of eNB102 illustrated in fig. 2 is for illustration only, and enbs 101 and 103 of fig. 1 may have the same or similar configurations. However, enbs have a variety of configurations, and fig. 2 does not limit the scope of the disclosure to any particular implementation of an eNB.

As shown in FIG. 2, the eNB102 includes multiple antennas 205a-205n, multiple RF transceivers 210a-210n, Transmit (TX) processing circuitry 215, and Receive (RX) processing circuitry 220. eNB102 also includes a controller/processor 225, a memory 230, and a backhaul or network interface 235.

The RF transceivers 210a-210n receive incoming RF signals, such as signals transmitted by UEs in the network 100, from the antennas 205a-205 n. RF transceivers 210a-210n downconvert the incoming RF signal to generate an IF or baseband signal. The IF or baseband signal is passed to RX processing circuitry 220, which RX processing circuitry 220 generates a processed baseband signal by filtering, decoding, and/or digitizing the baseband or IF signal. The RX processing circuit 220 sends the processed baseband signals to the controller/processor 225 for further processing.

TX processing circuitry 215 receives analog or digital data (such as voice data, network data, e-mail, or interactive video game data) from controller/processor 225. TX processing circuitry 215 encodes, multiplexes, and/or digitizes the outgoing baseband data to generate a processed baseband or IF signal. RF transceivers 210a-210n receive the outgoing processed baseband or IF signals from TX processing circuitry 215 and upconvert the baseband or IF signals to RF signals for transmission via antennas 205a-205 n.

Controller/processor 225 may include one or more processors or other processing devices that control the overall operation of eNB 102. For example, the controller/processor 225 may control the reception of forward channel signals and the transmission of reverse channel signals by the RF transceivers 210a-210n, the RX processing circuitry 220, and the TX processing circuitry 215 in accordance with well-known principles. The controller/processor 225 may also support additional functions such as more advanced wireless communication functions. For example, the controller/processor 225 may support beamforming or directional routing operations in which signals from the outputs of the multiple antennas 205a-205n are weighted differently to effectively steer the output signals in a desired direction. Any of a variety of other functions may be supported in the eNB102 by the controller/processor 225.

Controller/processor 225 is also capable of executing programs resident in memory 230 and other processes, such as an OS. Controller/processor 225 may move data into memory 230 or out of memory 230 as needed by performing processes.

The controller/processor 225 is also coupled to a backhaul or network interface 235. The backhaul or network interface 235 allows the eNB102 to communicate with other devices or systems via a backhaul connection or via a network. Interface 235 may support communication via any suitable wired or wireless connection or connections. For example, when eNB102 is implemented as part of a cellular communication system (such as part of LTE-a or 5G, LTE supported), interface 235 may allow eNB102 to communicate with other enbs via a wired or wireless backhaul connection. When eNB102 is implemented as an access point, interface 235 may allow eNB102 to communicate via a wired or wireless local area network or via a wired or wireless connection to a larger network, such as the internet. Interface 235 includes any suitable structure that supports communication via a wired or wireless connection, such as an ethernet or RF transceiver.

Memory 230 is coupled to controller/processor 225. A portion of memory 230 may include RAM and another portion of memory 230 may include flash memory 230 or other ROM.

Although fig. 2 illustrates one example of eNB102, various changes may be made to fig. 2. For example, eNB102 may include any number of each of the components shown in fig. 2. As a particular example, the access point may include multiple interfaces 235, and the controller/processor 225 may support routing functionality to route data between different network addresses. As another particular example, although illustrated as including a single instance of the TX processing circuitry 215 and a single instance of the RX processing circuitry 220, the eNB102 may include multiple instances of each (such as one for each RF transceiver). In addition, the various components in FIG. 2 may be combined, further subdivided or omitted, and additional components may be added according to particular needs.

Fig. 3 illustrates an example UE116 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of the UE116 illustrated in fig. 3 is for illustration only, and the UE 111 and 115 of fig. 1 may have the same or similar configuration. However, the UE has multiple configurations, and fig. 3 does not limit the scope of the disclosure to any particular implementation of the UE.

As shown in fig. 3, the UE116 includes an antenna 305, a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver 310, TX processing circuitry 315, a microphone 320, and Receive (RX) processing circuitry 325. The UE116 also includes a speaker 330, a processor 340, an input/output (I/O) Interface (IF)345, a touchscreen 350, a display 355, and a memory 360. Memory 360 includes an Operating System (OS)361 and one or more applications 362.

The RF transceiver 310 receives from the antenna 305 an incoming RF signal transmitted by an eNB of the network 100. The RF transceiver 310 downconverts the incoming RF signal to generate an Intermediate Frequency (IF) or baseband signal. The IF or baseband signal is passed to RX processing circuitry 325, which RX processing circuitry 325 generates a processed baseband signal by filtering, decoding, and/or digitizing the baseband or IF signal. RX processing circuit 325 sends the processed baseband signals to speaker 330 (e.g., for voice data) or to processor 340 for further processing (e.g., for web browsing data).

TX processing circuitry 315 receives analog or digital voice data from microphone 320 or other outgoing baseband data (such as network data, e-mail, or interactive video game data) from processor 340. TX processing circuitry 315 encodes, multiplexes, and/or digitizes the outgoing baseband data to generate a processed baseband or IF signal. RF transceiver 310 receives the outgoing processed baseband or IF signal from TX processing circuitry 315 and upconverts the baseband or IF signal to an RF signal, which is transmitted via antenna 305.

The processor 340 may include one or more processors or other processing devices, and executes the OS 361 stored in the memory 360 in order to control overall operation of the UE 116. For example, processor 340 may control the reception of forward channel signals and the transmission of reverse channel signals by RF transceiver 310, RX processing circuitry 325, and TX processing circuitry 315 in accordance with well-known principles. In some embodiments, processor 340 includes at least one microprocessor or microcontroller.

Processor 340 is also capable of performing other processes and programs resident in memory 360, such as processing for CSI reporting on PUCCH. The processor 340 may move data into the memory 360 or out of the memory 360 as needed by performing processing. In some embodiments, the processor 340 is configured to execute the application 362 based on the OS 361 or in response to a signal received from an eNB or operator. The processor 340 is also coupled to an I/O interface 345, which I/O interface 345 provides the UE116 with the ability to connect to other devices, such as laptop computers and handheld computers. I/O interface 345 is a communication path between these accessories and processor 340.

The processor 340 is also coupled to a touch screen 350 and a display 355. The operator of the UE116 may use the touch screen 350 to input data into the UE 116. Display 355 may be a liquid crystal display, light emitting diode display, or other display capable of presenting text and/or at least limited graphics, such as from a website.

The memory 360 is coupled to the processor 340. A portion of memory 360 may include Random Access Memory (RAM) and another portion of memory 360 may include flash memory or other Read Only Memory (ROM).

Although fig. 3 illustrates one example of UE116, various changes may be made to fig. 3. For example, the various components in FIG. 3 may be combined, further subdivided or omitted, and additional components may be added according to particular needs. As a particular example, processor 340 may be divided into multiple processors, such as one or more Central Processing Units (CPUs) and one or more Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). Further, while fig. 3 illustrates the UE116 configured as a mobile phone or smartphone, the UE may be configured to operate as other types of mobile or stationary devices.

Fig. 4A is a high level diagram of the transmit path circuitry. For example, the transmit path circuitry may be used for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) communications. Fig. 4B is a high level diagram of the receive path circuitry. For example, the receive path circuitry may be used for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) communications. In fig. 4A and 4B, for downlink communications, the transmit path circuitry may be implemented in the base station (eNB)102 or relay station, and the receive path circuitry may be implemented in user equipment (e.g., user equipment 116 of fig. 1). In other examples, for uplink communications, the receive path circuitry 450 may be implemented in a base station (e.g., eNB102 of fig. 1) or a relay station, and the transmit path circuitry may be implemented in user equipment (e.g., user equipment 116 of fig. 1).

The transmit path circuitry includes a channel coding and modulation block 405, a serial-to-parallel (S-to-P) block 410, a size N Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) block 415, a parallel-to-serial (P-to-S) block 420, an add cyclic prefix block 425, and an up-converter (UC) 430. Receive path circuitry 450 includes a down-converter (DC)455, a remove cyclic prefix block 460, a serial-to-parallel (S-to-P) block 465, a size N Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) block 470, a parallel-to-serial (P-to-S) block 475, and a channel decode and demodulation block 480.

At least some of the components in fig. 4a 400 and 4B 450 may be implemented in software, while other components may be implemented by configurable hardware or a mixture of software and configurable hardware. In particular, it is noted that the FFT blocks and IFFT blocks described in this disclosure document may be implemented as configurable software algorithms, where the value of size N may be modified according to the implementation.

Further, while the present disclosure is directed to embodiments implementing a fast fourier transform and an inverse fast fourier transform, this is by way of illustration only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the disclosure. It will be appreciated that in alternative embodiments of the present disclosure, the fast fourier transform function and the inverse fast fourier transform function may be readily replaced by a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) function and an Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) function, respectively. It is understood that the value of the N variable may be any integer (i.e., 1, 4, 3, 4, etc.) for DFT and IDFT functions, and any integer that is a power of two (i.e., 1, 2,4, 8, 16, etc.) for FFT and IFFT functions.

In transmit path circuitry 400, a channel coding and modulation block 405 receives a set of information bits, applies coding (e.g., LDPC coding) and modulation (e.g., Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) or Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM)) on the input bits to produce a sequence of frequency domain modulation symbols. Serial-to-parallel block 410 converts (i.e., demultiplexes) the serial modulated symbols into parallel data to produce N parallel symbol streams, where N is the IFFT/FFT size used in BS 102 and UE 116. Size N IFFT block 415 then performs an IFFT operation on the N parallel symbol streams to produce a time domain output signal. Parallel-to-serial block 420 converts (i.e., multiplexes) the parallel time-domain output symbols from size-N IFFT block 415 to produce a serial time-domain signal. Add cyclic prefix block 425 then inserts a cyclic prefix into the time domain signal. Finally, upconverter 430 modulates (i.e., upconverts) the output of add cyclic prefix block 425 to an RF frequency for transmission over a wireless channel. The signal may also be filtered at baseband before conversion to RF frequency.

The transmitted RF signal reaches the UE116 after passing through the wireless channel, and performs the reverse of those at the eNB 102. Downconverter 455 downconverts the received signal to baseband frequency and remove cyclic prefix block 460 removes the cyclic prefix to produce a serial time-domain baseband signal. Serial-to-parallel block 465 converts the time-domain baseband signal to parallel time-domain signals. Size N FFT block 470 then performs an FFT algorithm to generate N parallel frequency domain signals. Parallel-to-serial block 475 converts the parallel frequency-domain signal into a sequence of modulated data symbols. Channel decode and demodulation block 480 demodulates and then decodes the modulated symbols to recover the original input data stream.

each of the enbs 101 and 103 may implement a transmit path similar to the transmission to the user equipment 111 and 116 in the downlink and may implement a receive path similar to the reception from the user equipment 111 and 116 in the uplink. Similarly, each of the user equipments 111 and 116 may implement a transmission path corresponding to an architecture for transmitting the eNB 101 and 103 in uplink and may implement a reception path corresponding to an architecture for receiving from the eNB 101 and 103 in downlink.

A 5G communication system usage scenario has been identified and described. Those use cases can be roughly classified into three different groups. In one example, enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) is determined to handle high bit/second requirements, with less stringent delay and reliability requirements. In another example, the ultra-reliable and low delay (URLL) determination has less stringent bit/second requirements. In yet another example, large scale machine type communication (mtc) is determined as the number of devices may be as many as 100,000 to one million per square kilometer, but the reliability/throughput/delay requirements may be less stringent. This scenario may also involve power efficiency requirements, as battery consumption should be minimized as much as possible.

A communication system includes a Downlink (DL) for transmitting signals from a transmission point, such as a Base Station (BS) or node B, to a User Equipment (UE), and an Uplink (UL) for transmitting signals from the UE to a reception point, such as node B. A UE, also commonly referred to as a terminal or a mobile station, may be fixed or mobile and may be a cellular telephone, a personal computer device, or an automated device. An eNodeB, typically a fixed station, may also be referred to as an access point or other equivalent terminology. For LTE systems, the node B is often referred to as eNodeB.

In a communication system such as the LTE system, the DL signal may include a data signal conveying information content, a control signal conveying DL Control Information (DCI), and a Reference Signal (RS), also known as a pilot signal. The eNodeB transmits data information through a Physical DL Shared Channel (PDSCH). The eNodeB transmits DCI through a Physical DL Control Channel (PDCCH) or enhanced PDCCH (epdcch).

The eNodeB sends the transmission acknowledgement information in response to the data Transport Block (TB) from the UE in a physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel (PHICH). The eNodeB transmits one or more of a plurality of types of RSs, including UE common RS (crs), channel state information RS (CSI-RS), or demodulation RS (dmrs). The CRS is transmitted over the DL system Bandwidth (BW) and may be used by the UE to obtain channel estimates, to demodulate data or control information or to perform measurements. To reduce CRS overhead, the eNodeB may transmit CSI-RS at a lesser density in the time and/or frequency domain than CRS. DMRSs may be transmitted only in BW of each PDSCH or EPDCCH, and the UE may demodulate data or control information in the PDSCH or EPDCCH, respectively, using the DMRSs. The transmission time interval for the DL channel is referred to as a subframe and may have a duration of 1 millisecond, for example.

The DL signal also includes the transmission of logical channels carrying system control information. The BCCH is mapped to a transport channel called a Broadcast Channel (BCH) when the BCCH transmits a Master Information Block (MIB), or to a DL shared channel (DL-SCH) when the BCCH transmits a System Information Block (SIB). Most of the system information is included in different SIBs transmitted using the DL-SCH. The presence of system information on the DL-SCH in a subframe may be indicated by transmission of a corresponding PDCCH conveying a codeword with a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), which is scrambled with a specific system information RNTI (SI-RNTI). Alternatively, the scheduling information for the SIB transmission may be provided in an earlier SIB, and the scheduling information for the first SIB (SIB-1) may be provided by the MIB.

DL resource allocation is performed in units of subframes and a set of Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs). The transmission BW includes frequency resource units called Resource Blocks (RBs). Each RB comprises

Subcarriers, or Resource Elements (REs), such as 12 REs. A unit of one RB on one subframe is referred to as a PRB. For total for PDSCH transmission BWOne RE, UE can be allocated M_PDSCAnd one RB.

The UL signal may include a data signal transmitting data information, a control signal transmitting UL Control Information (UCI), and a UL RS. UL RSs include DMRSs and sounding RSs (srs). The UE transmits DMRS only in BW of each PUSCH or PUCCH. The eNodeB may demodulate a data signal or a UCI signal using the DMRS. The UE sends SRS to provide UL CSI to the eNodeB. The UE transmits data information or UCI through each Physical UL Shared Channel (PUSCH) or Physical UL Control Channel (PUCCH). If the UE needs to send data information and UCI in the same UL subframe, the UE may multiplex both in the PUSCH. The UCI includes hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information indicating correct (ACK) or incorrect (NACK) detection for data TBs in the PDSCH or absence of PDCCH Detection (DTX), a Scheduling Request (SR) indicating whether the UE has data in the UE's buffer, a Rank Indicator (RI), and Channel State Information (CSI) enabling the eNodeB to perform link adaptation for PDSCH transmission to the UE. The HARQ-ACK information is also sent by the UE in response to detection of a PDCCH/EPDCCH indicating release of the semi-persistently scheduled PDSCH.

The UL subframe includes two slots. Each slot including a slot for transmitting data information, UCI, DMRS or SRS

A symbol. The frequency resource unit of the UL system BW is an RB. For total for BW transmissionOne RE, UE can be allocated N_RBAnd one RB. For PUCCH, N_RBThe number of subframe symbols that the last subframe symbol may use to multiplex SRS transmissions from one or more UEs available for data/UCI/DMRS transmissions is 1Wherein N if the last subframe symbol is used for transmitting SRS _SRS1, otherwise N_SRS＝0。

Fig. 5 illustrates a transmitter block diagram 500 for PDSCH in a subframe according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The embodiment of the transmitter block diagram 500 illustrated in fig. 5 is for illustration only. Fig. 5 does not limit the scope of the present disclosure to any particular implementation of the transmitter block diagram 500.

As shown in fig. 5, information bits 510 are encoded by an encoder 520, such as a turbo encoder, and modulated by a modulator 530, for example, using Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulation. Serial-to-parallel (S/P) converter 540 generates M modulation symbols which are then provided to mapper 550 for mapping to REs selected by transmission BW selection unit 555 for the assigned PDSCH transmission BW, unit 560 applies an Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT), the output is then serialized by parallel-to-serial (P/S) converter 570 to create a time domain signal, filtered by filter 580, and signal 590 is sent. Additional functionalities such as data scrambling, cyclic prefix insertion, time windowing, interleaving, etc. are well known in the art and are not shown for simplicity.

Fig. 6 illustrates a receiver block diagram 600 for PDSCH in a subframe according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The embodiment of diagram 600 shown in fig. 6 is for illustration only. Fig. 6 does not limit the scope of the present disclosure to any particular implementation of diagram 600.

As shown in fig. 6, the received signal 610 is filtered by filter 620, the RE 630 for the allocated received BW is selected by BW selector 635, unit 640 applies a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), and the output is serialized by parallel-to-serial converter 650. Demodulator 660 then coherently demodulates the data symbols by applying channel estimates obtained from DMRS or CRS (not shown), and a decoder 670, such as a turbo decoder, decodes the demodulated data to provide estimates of information data bits 680. Additional functionalities such as time windowing, cyclic prefix removal, descrambling, channel estimation, and deinterleaving are not shown for simplicity.

As shown in fig. 7, information data bits 710 are encoded by an encoder 720, such as a turbo encoder, and modulated by a modulator 730. Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) unit 740 applies DFT to the modulated data bits, REs 750 corresponding to the allocated PUSCH transmission BW are selected by transmission BW selection unit 755, unit 760 applies IFFT, and after cyclic prefix insertion (not shown), filtering is applied by filter 770, and signal 780 is transmitted.

The embodiment of block diagram 800 illustrated in fig. 8 is for illustration only. Fig. 8 does not limit the scope of the present disclosure to any particular implementation of block diagram 800.

As shown in fig. 8, received signal 810 is filtered by filter 820. Subsequently, after removing the cyclic prefix (not shown), unit 830 applies an FFT, REs 840 corresponding to the allocated PUSCH reception BW are selected by the reception BW selector 845, unit 850 applies an inverse dft (idft), and demodulator 860 coherently demodulates the data symbols by applying channel estimates obtained from the DMRS (not shown), such as a decoder 870 of a turbo decoder decodes the demodulated data to provide estimates of the information data bits 880.

In next generation cellular systems, various usage scenarios are envisioned beyond the performance of LTE systems. Referred to as 5G or fifth generation cellular systems, systems capable of operating below 6GHz and above 6GHz (e.g., in the millimeter wave regime) are one of the needs. In 3GPP TR 22.891, 74 5G usage scenarios have been identified and described; those usage scenarios can be roughly classified into three different groups. The first group, referred to as "enhanced mobile broadband" (eMBB), is targeted for high data rate services with less stringent delay and reliability requirements. The second group is referred to as "ultra-reliable and low latency" (URLL), targeted for applications with less stringent data rate requirements but less delay tolerant. The third group is referred to as "massive mtc (mtc)", and targets a large number of low power device connections with less stringent reliability, data rate and delay requirements, such as one million per square kilometer.

In order for a 5G network to support such diverse services with different quality of service (QoS), one embodiment has been identified in the LTE specification, referred to as network slicing. To efficiently utilize PHY resources and multiplex various slices in the DL-SCH (with different resource allocation schemes, parameter sets, and scheduling strategies), a flexible and self-contained frame or subframe design is used.

Power consumption and battery life are very important for terminals in the internet of things (IoT). In a narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) or enhanced machine type communication (eMTC) system, power of a terminal device may be saved by configuring a mode of a Power Saving Mode (PSM) or an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) mode. However, the UE cannot listen to the paging message during sleep in the PSM mode or the eDRX mode. In some IoT application scenarios, the UE is required to establish a connection with the network within a certain time period after receiving the network command. Then the UE with the requirement cannot be configured in PSM mode or eDRX mode with a relatively long period.

In an enhanced version of NB-IoT and eMTC systems, to enable paging of UEs while saving power, wake-up or sleep signals/channels are introduced after learning and research. The wake-up signal/channel is configured to wake up the UE, i.e., the UE needs to continue to monitor the scenario of the subsequent MTC Physical Downlink Control Channel (MPDCCH) indicating the paging message. The sleep signal/channel is configured to indicate that the UE may enter a sleep state, i.e., the UE does not need to monitor a scenario for a subsequent MPDCCH indicating a paging message.

In a multi-carrier system, a carrier transmitting a synchronization signal is referred to as an anchor carrier, and in an LTE system, a paging signal is transmitted on the anchor carrier. In NB-IoT systems, schemes are introduced for sending paging messages on non-anchor carriers. In the eMTC system, a plurality of narrow bands are defined, wherein a narrow band has 6 Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs), and a concept of a paging narrow band is introduced. In addition, in an eMTC system, a downlink control channel MPDCCH for MTC is configured to indicate paging messages, and different UEs may monitor the MPDCCH on different narrowbands. Similarly, in an ongoing 5G New Radio (NR) system, there are cases where the bandwidth of the UE is smaller than the system bandwidth, and in this case, a plurality of bandwidth parts may be defined for the paging channel. For the case of multiple carriers or narrow bands or partial bandwidths, an unresolved problem is how to send and receive wake-up or sleep signals.

The present disclosure discusses sequence design for generating wake-up signals (WUS) for NB-IoT and MTC. The following designs are included in this disclosure. In one example, WUS based on ZC sequences is included: no cover code; having an M sequence as a cover code; having a Gold sequence as a cover code; and/or with cover codes and/or phase shifts. In one example, a design of WUS with cover codes and/or based on cyclically shifted M sequences is included. In one example, Gold sequence based WUS is used for design.

The present disclosure focuses on sequence design and mapping of wake-up signals (WUS) for NB-IoT.

In the present disclosure, the UE group ID is represented as N _ ID ^ UEgroup and the range is 0 ≦ N _ ID ^ UEgroup ≦ N _ UEgroup-1, where N _ UEgroup may be 1 or 2 or 4, and the narrowband cell ID is represented as N _ ID ^ cell and the range is 0 ≦ N _ ID ^ cell ≦ 503.

Component I: for design aspects of WUS sequences.

In some embodiments, the number of WUS sequences. The number of WUS sequences corresponds to the amount of information carried by the WUS sequences. For example, one WUS sequence corresponds to one piece of information or a combination of pieces of information carried by the WUS.

In one embodiment, the information carried by the WUS may be a cell ID (i.e., N _ ID ^ cell) or a portion of cell ID information (e.g.,

and/or N _ ID cell mod b, where a and b are predefined constants).

In another embodiment, the information carried by the WUS may be a UE group ID (i.e., N _ ID ^ UE group) or a portion of a UE group ID (e.g.,

and/or N _ ID ^ UEgroup mod d, where c and d are predefined constants).

In yet another embodiment, the information carried by the WUS may be timing related information (e.g., subframe index or subframe index mod e, or SFN mod f, where e and f are predefined constants).

In yet another embodiment, the information carried by the WUS may be a combination of two or all from the above embodiments. For example, the cell ID and a part of the timing related information, or the entire cell ID and the timing related information, or the cell ID and the timing related information and a part of the UE group ID, or the cell ID and a part of the UE group ID.

In some embodiments, a WUS sequence generation scheme and a mapping scheme. These two design aspects are closely related.

In one embodiment, the sequence is generated and mapped per subframe, and the same sequence is repeated across multiple subframes, wherein the base sequence generating WUS is short (e.g., shorter than the number of available REs within a subframe).

In another embodiment, a sequence is generated and mapped per subframe, wherein timing information is included in the sequence, and a subframe specific sequence is mapped across multiple subframes, wherein a base sequence generating WUSs is short (e.g., shorter than the number of available REs within a subframe). Note that if the number of sequences according to the timing information is smaller than the number of subframes to be mapped to, there may be a repeated sequence.

In yet another embodiment, sequences are generated and mapped for multiple subframes, where the base sequence generating WUS is long (e.g., longer than the number of available REs within a subframe).

In some embodiments, the WUS sequence type is related to the generation scheme and mapping scheme of the WUS.

In one embodiment, the WUS sequence is based on a ZC sequence, where different roots of the ZC sequence and/or phase shifts and/or cyclic shifts are used to represent the information carried by the WUS. In such an embodiment, a possible variation of this embodiment is that the WUS sequence is based on a ZC sequence with a cover code (e.g. an M-sequence or Gold sequence or other sequence with good orthogonality), where different roots and/or phase shifts and/or cyclic shifts of the ZC sequence and the cover code are used to represent the information carried by the WUS.

In yet another embodiment, the WUS sequence is based on M columns, where the information carried by the WUS is represented using different cyclic shifts or initial conditions of the M sequence. In such an embodiment, a possible variation of this embodiment is that the WUS sequence is based on an M-sequence (e.g., an M-sequence or a Gold sequence) with a cover code, where the information carried by the WUS is represented using a cyclic shift or initial condition of the M-sequence and the cover code.

In yet another embodiment, the WUS sequence is based on a Gold sequence, where the information carried by the WUS is represented using different cyclic shifts or initial conditions of the two M sequences that generate the Gold sequence. In such an embodiment, a possible variation of this embodiment is that the WUS sequence is based on an M-sequence (e.g., an M-sequence or a Gold sequence) with a cover code, where the information carried by the WUS is represented using a cyclic shift or initial condition of the two M-sequences that generate the Gold sequence and the cover code.

Component II: WUS based on ZC sequences

Component ii.a: ZC sequence based WUS without cover code

In this component, the number of WUS sequences is limited by the ZC sequence length. For example, if the length of the ZC sequence is 131, up to 131 WUS sequences are supported. For another example, if the length of the ZC sequence is 127, up to 127 WUS sequences are supported.

The WUS may be constructed from ZC sequences of length L _ ZC, where the information carried by the WUS is represented using different roots of the ZC sequence. The sequence may be mapped to REs for WUS in the frequency domain in frequency first and time second order with potential truncation or extension (e.g., N _ RE ^ WUS ^ 132 for 11 symbols within a subframe).

The L _ ZC is determined by a sequence generation scheme and a mapping scheme. For example, if a WUS sequence is generated and mapped per subframe, the L _ ZC may be 131 or 133 or 127. For another example, if WUS sequences are generated and mapped across subframes, the L _ ZC may be 263 or 397.

Specifically, the WUS is constructed as given by d _ WUS (N) ═ exp (-j pi un ' (N ' +1)/L _ ZC), where N ═ 0, 1., N _ RE _ WUS-1, and N ' ═ N mod L _ ZC.

The mapping of the root index u to the information carried by the WUS (e.g., I _ info ^ WUS) may be based on u ^ I _ info ^ WUS +1.

In one example, the information carried by the WUS is the cell ID (i.e., N _ ID ^ cell) or a portion of the cell ID.

For one sub-example, for L _ ZC > N _ ID ^ cell-1, I _ info ^ WUS ^ N _ ID ^ cell.

For another sub-example, I _ info ^ WUS ^ b ^ (N _ ID ^ cell mod a), where a and b are predefined constants: (1) l _ ZC 131 or 127, a 21 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells), and b1 (range of minimized root); (2) l _ ZC 131 or 127, a 21 (single ring cell plan with 21 cells), and b 6 (range of maximized root); (3) 131 or 127, a 57 (dual-ring cell plan with 57 cells), and b1 (range of minimized roots); (4) l _ ZC 131 or 127, a 57 (single ring cell plan with 57 cells), and b 2 (range of maximized root); (5) l _ ZC 131, a 131 (maximum number of used sequences), and b1 (unique choice to be compatible with a); and (6) L _ ZC 127, a 127 (maximum number of used sequences), and b1 (unique choice to be compatible with a).

For a further sub-example of the method,where a and b are predefined constants: (1) l _ ZC 131 or 127, a 6 (single ring cell plan with 21 cells), and b1 (range of minimized root); (2) l _ ZC 131 or 127, a 6 (single ring cell plan with 21 cells), and b 6 (range of maximized root); (3) l _ ZC 131 or 127, a 2 (dual ring cell plan with 57 cells), and b1 (range of minimized root); (4) l _ ZC 131 or 127, a 2 (single ring cell plan with 57 cells), and b 2 (range of maximized root); (5) l _ ZC 131, a 4 (maximum number of used sequences), and b1 (unique choice to be compatible with a); and (6) L _ ZC 127, a 4 (maximum number of used sequences), and b1 (unique choice to be compatible with a).

In another example, the information carried by the WUS is the cell ID (or a portion of the cell ID) and timing information (0 ≦ I _ t ≦ N _ t). For example, I _ t — N _ subframe mod N _ t, where N _ t is the total number of timing indices and may be 2 or 4 or 6 or 8. For a sub-example of the method,for another sub-example, I _ info ^ WUS ═ c ^ (N _ ID ^ cell mod b) × (I _ t +1) + I _ t, where b and c are predefined constants. Note that there is a product term of timing information and cell ID to avoid coherent combination of interference from neighbor cells.

In yet another example, the information carried by the WUS is a cell ID (or a portion of a cell ID) and a UE group ID (or a portion of a UE group ID). For a sub-example of the method,

for a further sub-example of the method,

in yet another example, the information carried by the WUS is a cell ID (or a portion of a cell ID) and a UE group ID (or a portion of a UE group ID) and timing information. For one example of the above-mentioned method,

i _ info ^ WUS ^ c ^ (N _ UEgroup ^ N _ ID ^ cell + N _ ID ^ UEgroup mod b) (I _ t +1) + I _ t, where b and c are predefined constants. Note that there is a product term of timing information and cell ID to avoid coherent combination of interference from neighbor cells.

Component ii.b: ZC sequence based WUS with M sequence cover code

In this component, the number of WUS sequences is limited by the product of the ZC sequence length and the M sequence length. For example, if the length of the ZC sequence is 131 and the length of the M sequence is 127, up to 131 × 127 WUS sequences are supported. For another example, if both the ZC sequence and the M sequence are 127 in length, then up to 127^2 WUS sequences are supported.

The WUS may be constructed from a ZC sequence of length L _ ZC covered by an M sequence of length L _ M modulated by BPSK, where different roots of the ZC sequence and cyclic shifts of the M sequence (or initial conditions) are used jointly to represent the information carried by the WUS. The sequence may be mapped to REs for WUS in the frequency domain in frequency first and time second order with potential truncation or extension (e.g., N _ RE ^ WUS ^ 132 for 11 symbols within a subframe).

The L _ ZC is determined by a sequence generation scheme and a mapping scheme. For example, if a WUS sequence is generated and mapped per subframe, the L _ ZC may be 131 or 133 or 127. For another example, if WUS sequences are generated and mapped across subframes, the L _ ZC may be 263 or 397.

L _ M is also determined by the sequence generation scheme and the mapping scheme. For example, if a WUS sequence is generated and mapped per subframe, L _ M may be 127. For another example, if WUS sequences are generated and mapped across subframes, L _ M may be 255 or 511. In one example, the selection of L _ ZC and L _ M may be the same. For example, if WUS sequences are generated and mapped per subframe, both L _ ZC and L _ M may be 127.

Specifically, the configuration WUS is given by d _ WUS (N) ═ exp (j pi un ' (N ' +1)/L _ ZC) ((N "+ c _ M) mod L _ M), where N is 0,1, ·, N _ RE _ WUS-1, and N ' ═ N mod L _ ZC, and N" ═ M mod L _ M.

The mapping of the root index u to the information carried by the ZC sequence part (i.e. I _ info ^ ZC) may be according to u ^ I _ info ^ ZC + 1; and the mapping of cyclic shift c _ M (if cyclic shift is used for carrying information, otherwise the mapping of root index is 0 and carries information in the initial condition) to the information carried by the M sequence part (i.e., I _ info ^ M) can be according to c _ M ═ I _ info ^ M.

In one example, the information carried by the WUS is the cell ID (i.e., N _ ID ^ cell) or a portion of the cell ID. Then, the cell ID information may be carried separately by the ZC sequence and the M sequence.

For one sub-example, I _ info ^ ZC ^ b ^ (N _ ID ^ cell mod a), and

wherein a, b, c are predefined constants: (1) l _ ZC 131 or 127, L _ Gold 127, a 21 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells), b1 and c1 (range to minimize cyclic shift); (2) l _ ZC 131 or 127, L _ Gold 127, a 21 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells), b 6 and c 5 (range to maximize cyclic shift); (3) l _ ZC 131 or 127, L _ Gold 127, a 57 (dual ring cell plan with 57 cells), b1 and c1 (range to minimize cyclic shift); (4) l _ ZC 131 or 127, L _ Gold 127, a 57 (dual ring cell plan with 57 cells), b 2 and c 8 (range to maximize cyclic shift); (5) l _ ZC 131 or 127, L _ Gold 127, a 127 (using the maximum number of sequences for one M sequence), b1 (the only choice to be compatible with a) and c1 (being the minimum)A range of cyclic shifts); and (6) L _ ZC 131 or 127, L _ Gold 127, a 127 (using the maximum number of sequences for one M sequence), b1 (the only choice to be compatible with a) and c 126 (to maximize the range of cyclic shifts).

In another example, the information carried by the WUS is the cell ID (or a portion of the cell ID) and timing information (0 ≦ I _ t ≦ N _ t). For example, I _ t — N _ subframe mod N _ t, where N _ t is the total number of timing indices and may be 2 or 4 or 6 or 8. For one sub-example, the ZC sequence carries only a portion of the cell ID information and the M sequence carries the remainder of the cell ID information carried by the WUS along with the timing information (if any remainder is present) -e.g., I info ^ ZC (N _ ID ^ cell mod L), and I _ info ^ M ^ c I _ t, where c is a constant and e.g.,

in yet another example, the information carried by the WUS is a cell ID (or a portion of a cell ID) and a UE group ID (or a portion of a UE group ID). For one sub-example, the ZC sequence carries only part of the cell ID information, and the M sequence carries the remainder of the cell ID information carried by the WUS (if any remaining) along with the UE group ID: i _ info ^ ZC ^ L (N _ ID ^ cell mod L), and I _ info ^ M ^ c ^ N _ ID ^ UEgroup, where c is a constant, and for example,

in yet another example, the information carried by the WUS is a cell ID (or a portion of a cell ID) and a UE group ID (or a portion of a UE group ID) and timing information. For one sub-example, the ZC sequence carries only part of the cell ID information and the M sequence carries the remainder of the cell ID information carried by the WUS (if any remaining) along with the timing information and UE group ID: i _ info ^ ZC ^ N (N _ ID ^ cell mod L), and I _ info ^ M ^ c ^ N _ ID ^ UEgroup + I _ t, where c is a constant, and for example,

if L _ M ═ 127, the generation scheme (or equivalently the generator polynomial) for the M-sequence d _ M (i) may come from one of the construction schemes in table 1, with appropriate initial conditions, e.g. d_M(0)＝d_M(1)＝d_M(2)＝d_M(3)＝d_M(4)＝d_M(5)＝0，d_M(6) 1 or d_M(1)＝d_M(2)＝d_M(3)＝d_M(4)＝d_M(5)＝d_M(6)＝0，d_M(0) 1, if the cyclic shift is used to indicate information (otherwise, the initial condition may carry the corresponding information).

In one example, for simplicity, the polynomial used to generate the M-sequence may be x ^7+ x +1. In another example, for simplicity, the polynomial used to generate the M-sequence may be x ^7+ x ^3+ 1. In yet another example, for simplicity, the polynomial used to generate the M-sequence may be x ^7+ x ^6+ 1. In yet another example, for simplicity, the polynomial used to generate the M-sequence may be x ^7+ x ^4+ 1.

TABLE 1 Generation scheme for M sequences d _ M (i)

Component ii.c: WUS based on ZC sequences with Gold sequence cover codes.

In this component, the number of WUS sequences is limited by the product of the ZC sequence length and the square of the Gold sequence length. For example, if the length of the ZC sequence is 131 and the length of the Gold sequence is 127, at most 131 x 127 a 2 WUS sequences are supported. For another example, if both ZC and Gold sequences are 127 in length, then up to 127^3 WUS sequences are supported.

The WUS may be constructed from ZC sequences of length L ZC covered by a length L Gold sequence (i.e., an XOR of two M sequences) modulated by BPSK, where information carried by the WUS is represented jointly using different roots of the ZC sequence and cyclic shifts (or initial conditions) of the two M sequences generating the Gold sequence. The sequence may be mapped to REs for WUS in the frequency domain in the order of frequency first and time second with potential truncation or extension (e.g., N _ RE ^ WUS ^ 132 for 11 symbols within a subframe).

The L _ ZC is determined by a sequence generation scheme and a mapping scheme. For example, if a WUS sequence is generated and mapped per subframe, the L _ ZC may be 131 or 133 or 127. For another example, if WUS sequences are generated and mapped across subframes, the L _ ZC may be 263 or 397.

L _ Gold is also determined by the sequence generation scheme and the mapping scheme. For example, if a WUS sequence is generated and mapped per subframe, L _ Gold may be 127. For another example, L _ Gold may be 255 or 511 if WUS sequences are generated and mapped across subframes. In one example, the choice of L _ ZC and L _ Gold may be the same. For example, if a WUS sequence is generated and mapped per subframe, both L and L _ Gold may be 127.

Specifically, the constructed WUS as given by d _ WUS (N) ═ exp (-j pi un ' (N ' +1)/L _ ZC) (1-2 [ (d _ M1((N "+ c1) modL _ Gold) + d _ M2 ((N" + c2) mod L _ Gold)) mod2) where the mapping of N ═ 0,1,. ·, N _ RE _ WUS-1, and N ' ═ N mod L _ ZC, and N "═ M mod L _ Gold. root index u to the information carried by the ZC sequence portion (i.e., I _ info ^ ZC) may be according to u ═ I _ info ZC +1, and the cyclic shifts c _ M1 and c _ M2 (if cyclic shift is used for carrying information, otherwise cyclic shift M1 and c _ M634 are both information and are carried by the conditions of I _ info ^ M _ M637 and I ^ M ^ info ^ M1) may be carried by the initial information I _ info 36865 and I _ info ^ M685 1.

In one example, the information carried by the WUS is the cell ID (i.e., N _ ID ^ cell) or a portion of the cell ID. Then, the cell ID information may be carried separately by a ZC sequence and a Gold sequence. For one sub-example, I _ info ^ ZC ^ N _ ID ^ cell mod L, and

and I _ info ^ M1 ^0.

In another example, the information carried by the WUS is the cell ID (or a portion of the cell ID) and timing information (0 ≦ I _ t ≦ N _ t). For example, I _ t — N _ subframe mod N _ t, where N _ t may be 2 or 4 or 6 or 8. For one sub-example, the ZC sequence carries only a portion of the cell ID information, and the M sequence carries the remainder of the cell ID information carried by the WUS (if any remaining) along with the timing information: i _ info ^ ZC ^ L (N _ ID ^ cell mod L), and I _ info ^ M1 ^ c ^ I _ t, and I _ info ^ M2 ^0, where c is a constant, and for example,

in yet another example, the information carried by the WUS is a cell ID (or a portion of a cell ID) and a UE group ID (or a portion of a UE group ID). For one sub-example, the ZC sequence carries only part of the cell ID information, and the M sequence carries the remainder of the cell ID information carried by the WUS (if any remaining) along with the UE group ID: i _ info ^ ZC ^ L (N _ ID ^ cell mod L), and I _ info ^ M1 ^ c ^ N _ ID ^ UEgroup, and I _ info ^ M2 ^0, where c is a constant, and e.g. u,

in yet another example, the information carried by the WUS is a cell ID (or a portion of a cell ID) and a UE group ID (or a portion of a UE group ID) and timing information. For one sub-example, the ZC sequence carries only part of the cell ID information and the M sequence carries the remainder of the cell ID information carried by the WUS (if any remaining) along with the timing information and UE group ID: i _ info ^ ZC ^ L (N _ ID ^ cell mod L), and I _ info ^ M1 ^ c ^ N _ ID ^ UEgroup, and I _ info ^ M2 ^ d ^ I _ t, where c and d are constants, and for example,

if L _ Gold is 127, two M for generating a Gold sequenceThe generation schemes (or equivalently the generator polynomials) for the sequences d _ M1(i) and d _ M2(i) may come from the two construction schemes in Table 1, with appropriate initial conditions, e.g. d for the two M sequences_M(0)＝d_M(1)＝d_M(2)＝d_M(3)＝d_M(4)＝d_M(5)＝0，d_M(6) 1, or d for two M sequences_M(1)＝d_M(2)＝d_M(3)＝d_M(4)＝d_M(5)＝d_M(6)＝0，d_M(0) 1, if a cyclic shift is used to indicate information (otherwise, the initial condition may carry the corresponding information).

In one example, the polynomial used to generate the M-sequence may be x ^7+ x +1 for d _ M1(i) and x ^7+ x ^4+1 for d _ M2 (i). In another example, the polynomial used to generate the M-sequence may be x ^7+ x ^3+1 for d _ M1(i) and x ^7+ x ^4+1 for d _ M2 (i). In yet another example, the polynomial used to generate the M-sequence may be x ^7+ x +1 for d _ M1(i) and x ^7+ x ^6+1 for d _ M2 (i).

Component ii.d: WUS based on ZC sequences with cover codes and/or phase shifts.

The sequence used to generate the WUS is based on a ZC sequence with a cover code and a phase shift according to d _ WUS (N) (m) · exp (-j pi un ' (N ' +1)/L _ ZC) · exp (-j2 pi θ N), where N ═ 0,1, ·, N _ RE _ WUS-1, and u is the root index of the ZC sequence, θ is the phase shift of the ZC sequence, and N ' ═ N mod L _ ZC, and m ═ N mod L _ c, where L _ ZC is the length of the ZC sequence (e.g., 131) and L _ c is the length of the cover code (e.g., 128).

The mapping of the root index u to the information carried by the ZC sequence may be determined as follows.

In one embodiment, the root index u carries only a portion of the cell ID. For example, u may be determined in the form of u ═ c _1 ═ N _ ID ^ cell mod a) + c _2, where a is the total number of cell IDs carried by the WUS and is predefined, and c _1 and c _2 are predefined integers: (1) l _ ZC 131, a 21 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells), and c _1, and c _ 20 (range to minimize cyclic shift); (2) l _ ZC 131, a 21 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells), and c _ 16, and c _ 25 (to maximize the range of cyclic shifts); (3) l _ ZC 131, a 57 (dual ring cell plan with 57 cells), and c _1, and c _ 20 (to minimize the range of cyclic shifts); (4) l _ ZC 131, a 57 (dual ring cell plan with 57 cells), and c _ 12, and c _2 9 (to maximize the range of cyclic shifts); (5) l _ ZC 131, a 130 (to maximize the number of cell IDs carried by u), and c _1, and c _2 1; and (6) L _ ZC 131, a 126 (similar to NSSS), and c _1, and c _2 3.

In another embodiment, the root index u carries a portion of the cell ID and the UE group ID. For example, u may be determined in the form of u _ c _1 ^ f (N _ ID ^ cell, N _ ID ^ ue group) mod a) + c _2, where a is the total number of IDs carried by the WUS and is predefined, and c _1 and c _2 are predefined integers, and f (N _ ID ^ cell, N _ ID ^ ue group) is a function of N _ ID ^ cell and N _ ID ^ ue group, which may be linear (e.g., f (N _ ID ^ cell, N _ ID ^ ue group) ^ N _ ue group (N _ ID ^ cell +1) + N _ ID ^ ue group), or non-linear (e.g., f (N _ ID ^ cell, N _ ID ^ cell +1) + N _ ID ^ ue group) (N _ ID ^ cell + 3); (1) l _ ZC 131, a 21 x 2 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells and two UE group IDs), and c _1 and c _ 20 (to minimize the range of cyclic shifts); (2) l _ ZC 131, a 21 x 2 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells and two UE group IDs), and c _ 13, and c _ 25 (to maximize the range of cyclic shifts); (3) l _ ZC 131, a 21 × 4 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells and four UE group IDs), and c _ 1; (4) l _ ZC 131, a 57 × 2 (dual ring cell plan with 57 cells), and c _1 and c _ 20 (to minimize the range of cyclic shift); and (5) L _ ZC 131, a 130 (like 65 cell IDs and 2 UE group IDs to maximize the number of IDs carried by u), and c _1, and c _2 1.

In yet another embodiment, the root index u carries a portion of the cell ID and changes over time (e.g., changes for different subframes). For one example, u may be determined in the form of u ═ c _1 ^ (N _ ID ^ cell mod a) + I _ t, where a is the total number of IDs carried by the WUS and is predefined, c _1 is a predefined integer, and I _ t is time information, such as the subframe index within the transmission duration of the WUS or the absolute subframe index modulo the transmission duration of the WUS: (1) l _ ZC 131, a 21 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells), and c _1 (range to minimize cyclic shift); (2) l _ ZC 131, a 21 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells), and c _ 16 (range to maximize cyclic shift); (3) l _ ZC 131, a 57 (dual ring cell plan with 57 cells), and c _1 (range to minimize cyclic shift); (4) l _ ZC 131, a 57 (dual ring cell plan with 57 cells), and c _ 12 (to maximize the range of cyclic shifts); (5) l _ ZC 131, a 130 (to maximize the number of cell IDs carried by u), and c _ 1.

In yet another embodiment, the root index u carries a portion of the cell ID, the UE group ID, and changes over time (e.g., changes for different subframes). For one example, u may be determined in the form of u ═ c _1 × (f (N _ ID ^ cell, N _ ID ^ UEgroup) mod a) + I _ t, where a is the total number of IDs carried by the WUS and is predefined, c _1 is a predefined integer, and I _ t is time information, such as a subframe index within the transmission duration of the WUS or an absolute subframe index modulo the transmission duration of the WUS. f (N _ ID ^ cell, N _ ID ^ ue group) is a function of N _ ID ^ cell and N _ ID ^ ue group, which may be linear (e.g., f (N _ ID ^ cell, N _ ID ^ ue group) ═ N _ ue group ^ cell (N _ ID ^ cell +1) + N _ ID ^ ue group) or nonlinear (e.g., f (N _ ID ^ cell, N _ ID ^ ue group) ═ c _ 2^ N _ ID ^ cell +1) (N _ ID ^ ue group +1), where c _2 is a predefined constant, e.g., c _ 2^ 1): (1) l _ ZC 131, a 21 x 2 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells and two UE group IDs), and c _1 (to minimize the range of cyclic shifts); (2) l _ ZC 131, a 21 x 2 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells and two UE group IDs), and c _1 _3 (to maximize the range of cyclic shifts); (3) l _ ZC 131, a 21 × 4 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells and 4 UE group IDs), and c _1 (to minimize the range of cyclic shifts); (4) l _ ZC 131, a 57 × 2 (dual ring cell plan with 57 cells), and c _1 (to minimize the range of cyclic shifts); (5) l _ ZC 131, a 130 (to maximize the number of IDs carried by u, like 65 cell IDs and 2 UE group IDs), and c _ 1.

c (m) is a cover code applied to the ZC sequence, which may be constructed according to the following embodiments.

In one embodiment, c (m) is a full 1 sequence, equivalent to no encoder code.

In another embodiment, c (m) is a single length 128 cover code that is orthogonal to all cover codes of NSSS (i.e., b _ q (m) in the construction of NSSS). For example, c (0:127) may be [ 1-1-11-111-1-111-11-1-111-1-11-111-1-111-11-1-111-1-11-111-1-111-11-1-11-111-1-111-11-111-1-111-1-11-111-1-11-111-1-111-.

In yet another embodiment, c (m) is a length 128 cover code carrying a portion of the cell ID information and/or UE group ID, and the entire sequence is orthogonal or has low cross-correlation with the cover code of NSSS (i.e., b _ q (m) in the construction of NSSS).

In yet another embodiment, c (M) is an M-sequence of length 127 that carries a portion of the cell ID information and/or UE group ID, and the specific design of the M-sequence may refer to the M-sequence design in part ii.b.

In yet another embodiment, c (M) is a Gold sequence of length 127 that carries a portion of the cell ID information and/or UE group ID, and the specific design of the Gold sequence may refer to the M sequence design in component ii.c.

In yet another embodiment, c (m) is selected from a set of 128-length Hadamard codes (e.g., there are 128 length Hadamard codes and their Q's with index s _ Q are respectively selected to construct c (m), where c (m) is denoted as c _ Q (m) and 0 ≦ Q ≦ Q-1). In one sub-embodiment, to avoid strong interference with NSSS, Q (excluding Hadamard codes with indices 0,31,63,127 that have been used by NSSS as cover codes) of the remaining 124 Hadamard codes may be selected for c _ Q (m). The mapping between the cover index q and the Hadamard index s _ q can be determined based on the following sub-embodiments.

In one sub-embodiment: q is determined by a portion of the cell ID as

Where a is a constant integer. For example, a ═ 126, Q ═ 4, { s _ Q } - {1,33,65,97 }. An example of the index s _ q of the Hadamard code is illustrated in table 2.

TABLE 2 index s _ q of Hadamard code

q	s_q
			0	1
1	33
		2	65
3	97

In another sub-embodiment: q is determined by the timing information and is Q ═ mod (I _ t, Q). For example, I _ t ≦ N _ subframe mod N _ t, where 0 ≦ I _ t ≦ N _ t, which is the total number of timing indices, and may be 1, 2 or 4 or 6 or 8. An example of the index s _ Q of the Hadamard code is illustrated in table 2 when Q is 4.

In yet another sub-embodiment: q is determined by the UE group ID N _ ID ^ UEgroup as Q ═ mod (N _ ID ^ UEgroup, Q). For example Q4. An example of the index s _ Q of the Hadamard code is illustrated in table 2 when Q is 4.

In yet another sub-embodiment: q is according toDetermined by both a portion of the cell ID and timing information. For example, I _ t ═ n _ subframemod N _ t, where 0 ≦ I _ t ≦ N _ t, which is the total number of timing indexes and may be 1, 2 or 4 or 6 or 8. a is a constant integer. For example, a 126. An example of the index s _ Q of the Hadamard code is illustrated in table 2 when Q is 4.

In yet another sub-embodiment: q is determined by UE group ID and cell ID N _ ID ^ UEgroup

Where a is a constant integer, e.g., a-126, and Q-16.

In yet another embodiment, c (m) is constructed from LTE PN sequences, where the initial conditions of c (m) carry cell ID information (remaining cell IDs left from the root and phase shift of the ZC sequence, or all cell IDs) and/or UE group IDs (if any) and/or timing information.

If both timing information and ID (including cell ID and/or UE group ID) are carried by the initial conditions of the PN sequence, then the non-linear terms of timing information and ID may be included as part of the initial conditions, such as the product term of timing information and ID, to avoid constant cross-correlation over time given a pair of cell IDs: initial condition c _ int ═ a (N _ ID +1) (I _ t +1) + b (N _ ID +1) + c (I _ t +1), where a, b, c are integers, I _ t is a time information index, N _ ID is an ID carried by a PN sequence, where N _ ID may be N _ ID ^ cell (if only cell ID is carried by a PN sequence), or(if only a part of the cell ID is carried by the PN sequence), or N _ UEgroup N _ ID cell + N _ ID UEgroup (if both the cell ID and the UE group ID are carried by the PN sequence), or(if part of the cell ID and the UE group ID are both carried by the PN sequence).

Is a phase shift applied to a ZC sequence and can be constructed as follows.

In one embodiment, θ is 0, equivalently no phase shift. In this embodiment, the sequence may also refer to component ii.b if the cover code is an M-sequence, and to component ii.c if the cover code is a Gold sequence.

In another embodiment, θ varies over time (e.g., carries the subframe index) such that the cell common phase shift varies over time. For example, θ — I _ t/N _ t, where I _ t is the time information index carried by θ, e.g., the subframe index or absolute subframe index within the transmission duration of a WUS modulo the transmission duration of a WUS, and N _ t is the total number of time information carried by θ, e.g., the total number of subframes within the transmission duration of a WUS, or the transmission duration of the maximum configuration of a WUS using the same antenna port.

In another embodiment, θ is cell-specific and time-varying (e.g., carries subframe indices) such that the cell-specific phase shift varies over time. For example, θ ═ f (N _ ID ^ cell, I _ t), where I _ t is the time information index carried by θ, e.g., the subframe index within the transmission duration of the WUS or the absolute subframe index modulo the transmission duration of the WUS.

In one sub-embodiment, f is a linear function of N _ ID ^ cell and I _ t. For example, θ mod (c _1 × N _ ID ^ cell + c _2 × I _ t, N _ t)/N _ t, and c _1, c _2 are predefined constants, and N _ t is the total number of time information carried by θ, such as the total number of subframes within the transmission duration of the WUS, or the transmission duration of the maximum configuration of WUS using the same antenna port. For example, c _1 equals N _ t and c _2 equals 1.

In another sub-embodiment, f is a non-linear function of N _ ID ^ cell and I _ t. For example, θ ═ mod (c _1 ^ cell +1) × (I _ t +1) + c _ 2^ cell +1) + c _3 ^ cell + 1(N _ ID ^ cell +1), N _ t)/N _ t, and c _1, c _2, c _3 are predefined constants, and N _ t is the total number of time information carried by θ, such as the total number of subframes within the transmission duration of the WUS, or the transmission duration of the maximum configuration of WUS using the same antenna port. For example, c _1 is 1, c _2 is 0, and c _3 is 0.

In yet another embodiment, θ is cell-specific, UE group-specific and time-varying (e.g., carrying subframe indices), such that the cell-specific and UE group-specific phase shifts vary over time.

In one sub-embodiment, f is a linear function of N _ ID ^ cell, N _ ID ^ UEgroup, and I _ t. For example, θ mod (c _1 × N _ ID ^ cell + c _2 × N _ ID ^ UEgroup + c _3 × I _ t, N _ t)/N _ t, and c _1, c _2, c _3 are predefined constants, and N _ t is the total number of time information carried by θ, e.g., the total number of subframes within the transmission duration of the WUS, or the transmission duration of the maximum configuration of WUS using the same antenna port, e.g., c _1 ═ N _ t _ N _ group and c _2 ═ N _ t and c _3 ═ 1.

In another sub-embodiment, f is a non-linear function of N _ ID ^ cell, N _ ID ^ UEgroup, and I _ t. For example, θ mod (c _1 ^ c _4 ^ N _ ID ^ cell + c _5 ^ N _ ID ^ UEgroup +1) (I _ t +1) + c _ 2^ I _ t +1) + c _3 (c _4 ^ N _ ID ^ cell + c _5 ^ N _ ID ^ UEgroup +1), N _ t)/N _ t, and c _1, c _2, c _3, c _4, c _5 are predefined constants, and N _ t is the total number of time information carried by θ, such as the total number of subframes within the transmission duration of a WUS, or the transmission duration of the maximum configuration of WUS using the same antenna port, such as c _1, c _ 2^ 0, c _3 ^0, c _4 _ c _5, and N _ 5.

Component ii.e: WUS based on ZC sequences with cover codes and/or cyclic shifts.

The sequence used to generate the WUS is based on ZC sequences with a cover code and cyclic shifts according to d _ WUS (N) (m) · exp (-j pi un ' (N ' +1)/L _ ZC), where N ═ 0, 1., N _ RE _ WUS-1, and u is the root index of the ZC sequence, N ' ═ N + c _ cs mod L _ ZC, and c _ cs is the cyclic shift of the ZC sequence, and m ═ N mod L _ c, where L _ ZC is the length of the ZC sequence (e.g., 131) and L _ c is the length of the cover code (e.g., 128).

The mapping of the root index u to the information carried by the ZC sequence may be determined as follows.

In one embodiment, the root index u carries only a portion of the cell ID. For example, u may be determined in the form of u ═ c _1 ═ N _ ID ^ cell mod a) + c _2, where a is the total number of cell IDs carried by the WUS and is predefined, and c _1 and c _2 are predefined integers: (1) l _ ZC 131, a 21 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells), and c _1, and c _ 20 (range to minimize cyclic shift); (2) l _ ZC 131, a 21 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells), and c _ 16, and c _ 25 (to maximize the range of cyclic shifts); (3) l _ ZC 131, a 57 (dual ring cell plan with 57 cells), and c _1, and c _ 20 (to minimize the range of cyclic shifts); (4) l _ ZC 131, a 57 (dual ring cell plan with 57 cells), and c _ 12, and c _2 9 (to maximize the range of cyclic shifts); (5) l _ ZC 131, a 130 (to maximize the number of cell IDs carried by u), and c _1, and c _2 1; and (6) L _ ZC 131, a 126 (similar to NSSS), and c _1, and c _2 3.

In another embodiment, the root index u carries a portion of the cell ID and the UE group ID. For example, u may be determined in the form of u _ c _1 ^ f (N _ ID ^ cell, N _ ID ^ ue group) mod a) + c _2, where a is the total number of IDs carried by the WUS and is predefined, and c _1 and c _2 are predefined integers, and f (N _ ID ^ cell, N _ ID ^ ue group) is a function of N _ ID ^ cell and N _ ID ^ ue group, which may be linear (e.g., f (N _ ID ^ cell, N _ ID ^ ue group) ^ N _ ue group (N _ ID ^ cell +1) + N _ ID ^ ue group) or non-linear (e.g., f (N _ ID ^ cell, N _ ID ^ cell +1) + N _ ID ^ ue group) (N _ ID ^ ue _ ID ^ cell + 3) (N _ ID ^ ue group): (1) l _ ZC 131, a 21 x 2 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells and two UE group IDs), and c _1 and c _ 20 (to minimize the range of cyclic shifts); (2) l _ ZC 131, a 21 x 2 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells and two UE group IDs), and c _ 13, and c _ 25 (to maximize the range of cyclic shifts); (3) l _ ZC 131, a 21 × 4 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells and 4 UE group IDs), and c _ 1; (4) l _ ZC 131, a 57 × 2 (dual ring cell plan with 57 cells), and c _1 and c _ 20 (to minimize the range of cyclic shift); and L _ ZC 131, a 130 (like 65 cell IDs and 2 UE group IDs to maximize the number of IDs carried by u), and c _1, and c _2 1.

In yet another embodiment, the root index u carries a portion of the cell ID and changes over time (e.g., changes for different subframes). For one example, u may be determined in the form of u ═ c _1 ^ (N _ ID ^ cell mod a) + I _ t, where a is the total number of IDs carried by the WUS and is predefined, c _1 is a predefined integer, and I _ t is time information, such as the subframe index within the transmission duration of the WUS or the absolute subframe index modulo the transmission duration of the WUS: (1) l _ ZC 131, a 21 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells), and c _1 (to minimize the range of cyclic shifts); (2) l _ ZC 131, a 21 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells), and c _ 16 (to maximize the range of cyclic shifts); (3) l _ ZC 131, a 57 (dual ring cell plan with 57 cells), and c _1 (to minimize the range of cyclic shifts); (4) l _ ZC 131, a 57 (dual ring cell plan with 57 cells), and c _ 12 (to maximize the range of cyclic shifts); and L _ ZC 131, a 130 (to maximize the number of cell IDs carried by u), and c _ 1.

In yet another embodiment, the root index u carries a portion of the cell ID, the UE group ID, and changes over time (e.g., changes for different subframes). For one example, u may be determined in the form of u _ c _1 ^ f (N _ ID ^ cell, N _ ID ^ ue group mod a) + I _ t, where a is the total number of IDs carried by the WUS and is predefined, c _1 is a predefined integer, and I _ t is time information, e.g., a subframe index or an absolute subframe index within the transmission duration of the WUS, modulo the transmission duration of the WUS f (N _ ID ^ cell, N _ ID ^ ue group) is a function of N _ ID ^ cell and N _ ID ^ group, which may be linear (e.g., N _ ID cell, N _ ID ^ group) N _ group (N _ ID ^ cell +1) + N _ ID ^ group) or non-linear (e.g., ue _ ID ^ cell +1) + N _ ID ^ ue _ group (N _ ID) or non-ue _ ID (ue _ ID ^ group) 131, N _ ID ^ ue _ group (N _ ID ^ ue _ group), a-21 x 2 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells and two UE group IDs), and c _ 1-1 (to minimize the range of cyclic shifts); (2) l _ ZC 131, a 21 x 2 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells and two UE group IDs), and c _ 13 (to maximize the range of cyclic shifts); (3) l _ ZC 131, a 21 × 4 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells and 4 UE group IDs), and c _1 (to minimize the range of cyclic shifts); (4) l _ ZC 131, a 57 × 2 (dual ring cell plan with 57 cells), and c _1 (to minimize the range of cyclic shifts); and (5) L _ ZC 131, a 130 (to maximize the number of IDs carried by u, like 65 cell IDs and 2 UE group IDs), and c _ 1.

c (m) is a cover code applied to the ZC sequence, which may be constructed according to the following embodiments.

In one embodiment, c (m) is a full 1 sequence, equivalent to no encoder code.

In another embodiment, c (m) is a single length 128 cover code that is orthogonal to the full cover code of NSSS (i.e., b _ q (m) in the construction of NSSS). For example, c (0:127) may be [ 1-1-11-111-1-111-11-1-111-1-11-111-1-111-11-1-111-1-11-111-1-111-11-1-11-111-1-111-11-111-1-111-1-11-111-1-11-111-1-111-.

In yet another embodiment, c (m) is selected from a set of 128-length Hadamard codes (e.g., there are 128 length Hadamard codes and their Q's with index s _ Q are respectively selected to construct c (m), where c (m) is denoted as c _ Q (m) and 0 ≦ Q ≦ Q-1). In a sub-embodiment, to avoid strong interference with NSSS, Q of the remaining 124 Hadamard codes (excluding Hadamard codes with indices 0,31,63,127 that have been used by NSSS as cover codes) may be selected for c _ Q (m). The mapping between the cover index q and the Hadamard index s _ q can be determined based on the following sub-embodiment choices.

In one sub-embodiment: q is determined by a portion of the cell ID as

Where a is a constant integer. For example, a ═ 126, Q ═ 4, { s _ Q } - {1,33,65,97 }. An example of the index s _ q of the Hadamard code is illustrated in table 2.

In another sub-embodiment: q is determined by the timing information as Q ═ mod (I _ t, Q). For example, I _ t ≦ N _ subframe mod N _ t, where 0 ≦ I _ t ≦ N _ t, which is the total number of timing indices and may be 1, 2, or 4, or 6, or 8. An example of the index s _ Q of the Hadamard code is illustrated in table 2 when Q is 4.

In yet another sub-embodiment: q is determined by the UE group ID N _ ID ^ UEgroup as Q ═ mod (N _ ID ^ UEgroup, Q). For example Q4. An example of the index s _ Q of the Hadamard code is illustrated in table 2 when Q is 4.

In yet another sub-embodiment: q is according toDetermined by both a portion of the cell ID and timing information. For example, I _ t _ N _ subframe mod N _ t, where 0I _ t ≦ N _ t, N _ t is the total number of timing indices and may be 1, 2 or 4 or 6 or 8. a is a constant integer. For example, a 126. An example of the index s _ Q of the Hadamard code is illustrated in table 2 when Q is 4.

In yet another sub-embodiment: q is determined by UE group ID and cell ID, N _ ID ^ UEgroupWhere a is a constant integer, e.g., a-126, and Q-16.

In yet another embodiment, c (m) is a length 128 cover code carrying a portion of the cell ID information and/or UE group ID, and the entire sequence is orthogonal or has low cross-correlation with the cover code of NSSS (i.e., b _ q (m) in the construction of NSSS).

In yet another embodiment, c (M) is an M-sequence of length 127 that carries a portion of the cell ID information and/or UE group ID, and the specific design of the M-sequence may refer to the M-sequence design in part ii.b.

In yet another embodiment, c (M) is a Gold sequence of length 127 that carries a portion of the cell ID information and/or UE group ID, and the specific design of the Gold sequence may refer to the M sequence design in component ii.c.

In yet another embodiment, c (m) is constructed from LTE PN sequences, where the initial conditions of c (m) carry cell ID information (the remaining cell IDs left from the root and cyclic shift of the ZC sequence, or all cell IDs) and/or UE group IDs (if any) and/or timing information.

If both timing information and ID (including cell ID and/or UE group ID) are carried by the initial condition of the PN sequence, then non-linear terms of timing information and ID may be included as initial conditionsSome, such as the product term of timing information and ID, to avoid constant cross-correlation over time for a given pair of cell IDs: initial condition c _ int ═ a (N _ ID +1) (I _ t +1) + b (N _ ID +1) + c (I _ t +1), where a, b, c are integers, I _ t is a time information index, N _ ID is an ID carried by a PN sequence, where N _ ID can be N _ ID ^ cell (if only cell ID is carried by a PN sequence), or N _ ID ^ cell/126 (if only a part of cell ID is carried by a PN sequence), or N _ UE group ^ N _ ID ^ cell + N _ ID ^ UE group (if both cell ID and UE group ID are carried by a PN sequence), or

(if both a portion of the cell ID and the UE group ID are carried by the PN sequence).

c _ cs is a cyclic shift applied to a ZC sequence, which may be constructed according to the following embodiments.

In one embodiment, c _ cs is 0, which is equivalent to no cyclic shift. In this embodiment, the sequence may also refer to component ii.b if the cover code is an M-sequence, and to component ii.c if the cover code is a Gold sequence.

In another embodiment, c _ cs varies over time (e.g., carries a subframe index) such that the cell common cyclic shift is over time. For example, c _ cs ═ I _ t, where I _ t is the time information index carried by c _ cs, e.g., the subframe index or absolute subframe index within the transmission duration of a WUS modulo the transmission duration of a WUS, and I _ t ≦ N _ t-1, where N _ t is the total number of time information carried by c _ cs, e.g., the total number of subframes within the transmission duration of a WUS, or the transmission duration of the maximum configuration of WUS using the same antenna port.

In another embodiment, c _ cs is cell-specific and time-varying (e.g., carries a subframe index), such that the cell-specific cyclic shift varies over time. For example, c _ cs ═ f (N _ ID ^ cell, I _ t), where I _ t is the time information index carried by c _ cs, e.g., the subframe index within the transmission duration of the WUS or the absolute subframe index modulo the transmission duration of the WUS.

In one sub-embodiment, f is a linear function of N _ ID ^ cell and I _ t. For example, c _ cs is mod (c _1 × N _ ID ^ cell + c _2 × I _ t, N _ t), and c _1, c _2 are predefined constants, and N _ t is the total number of time information carried by c _ cs, such as the total number of subframes within the transmission duration of the WUS, or the transmission duration of the maximum configuration of WUS using the same antenna port, e.g., c _1 is N _ t and c _2 is 1.

In another sub-embodiment, f is a non-linear function of N _ ID ^ cell and I _ t. For example, c _ cs is mod (c _1 ^ cell +1) (I _ t +1) + c _ 2^ cell (I _ t +1) + c _3 ^ cell +1), N _ t), and c _1, c _2, c _3 are predefined constants, and N _ t is the total number of time information carried by c _ cs, e.g., the total number of subframes within the transmission duration of a WUS, or the transmission duration of the maximum configuration of WUS using the same antenna port, e.g., c _1 ^ 1, c _ 2^ 0, and c _3 ^0.

In yet another embodiment, c _ cs is cell-specific, UE group-specific, and time-varying (e.g., carries a subframe index), such that the cell-specific and UE group-specific cyclic shifts change over time.

In one sub-embodiment, f is a linear function of N _ ID ^ cell, N _ ID ^ UEgroup, and I _ t. For example, c _ cs ═ mod (c _1 × N _ ID ^ cell + c _2 × N _ ID ^ UEgroup + c _3 × I _ t, N _ t), and c _1, c _2, c _3 are predefined constants, and N _ t is the total number of time information carried by c _ cs, such as the total number of subframes within the transmission duration of the WUS, or the transmission duration of the maximum configuration of WUS using the same antenna port. For example, c _1 ═ N _ t ═ N _ UEgroup and c _2 ═ N _ t and c _3 ═ 1.

In another sub-embodiment, f is a non-linear function of N _ ID ^ cell, N _ ID ^ UEgroup, and I _ t. For example, c _ cs is mod (c _1 ^ c _4 ^ N _ ID ^ cell + c _5 ^ N _ ID ^ UEgroup +1) (I _ t +1) + c _ 2^ I _ t +1) + c _3 ^ c _4 ^ N _ ID ^ cell + c _5 ^ N _ ID ^ UEgroup +1), N _ t), and c _1, c _2, c _3, c _4, c _5 are predefined constants, and N _ t is the total number of time information carried by c _ cs, e.g., the total number of subframes within the transmission duration of a WUS, or the transmission duration of the maximum configuration of WUS using the same antenna port, e.g., c _1, c _ 2^ 0, c _3, and c _5 _ c _ 1.

Component III: WUS based on M sequences.

In this component, the number of WUS sequences is limited by the M sequence length. For example, if the length of the M sequence is 127, up to 127 WUS sequences are supported.

The WUS may be constructed from an M-sequence of length L _ M modulated by BPSK, where the information carried by the WUS is represented using a cyclic shift of the M-sequence or an initial condition (note that the cyclic shift or initial condition is equivalent in terms of the generated sequence). The sequence may be mapped to REs for WUS in the frequency domain with potential truncation or expansion in the order of frequency first and time second (e.g., N _ RE WUS 132 for 11 symbols within a subframe).

L _ M is determined by a sequence generation scheme and a mapping scheme. For example, if a WUS sequence is generated and mapped per subframe, L _ M may be 127. For another example, if WUS sequences are generated and mapped across subframes, L _ M may be 255 or 511.

Specifically, WUS is as given by d _ WUS (N) ═ 1-2 × d _ M ((N '+ c _ M) mod L _ M), where N ═ 0, 1., N _ RE _ WUS-1, and N' ═ N mod L _ M. The mapping of cyclic shift c _ M to information carried by WUS (e.g., I _ info ^ WUS) may be according to c _ M ^ I _ info ^ WUS.

In one example, the information carried by the WUS is the cell ID (i.e., N _ ID ^ cell) or a portion of the cell ID.

For one sub-example, I _ info ^ WUS ^ b ^ (N _ ID ^ cell mod a), where a and b are predefined constants: (1) l _ M127, a 21 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells), and b1 (to minimize the range of cyclic shifts); (2) l _ M127, a 21 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells), and b 6 (to maximize the range of cyclic shifts); (3) 127, 57 (dual ring cell plan with 57 cells), and 1 (to minimize the range of cyclic shifts); (4) 127, 57 (two-ring cell plan with 57 cells), and 2 (to maximize the range of cyclic shifts); and (5) L _ M ═ 127, a ═ 127 (the maximum number of sequences used), and b ═ 1 (the only choice to be compatible with a).

For a further sub-example of the method,where a and b are predefined constants: (1) l _ M127, a 6 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells), and b1 (to minimize the range of cyclic shifts); (2) l _ M127, a 6 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells), and b 6 (to maximize the range of cyclic shifts); (3) l _ M127, a 2 (dual ring cell plan with 57 cells), and b1 (to minimize the range of cyclic shifts); (4) l _ M127, a 2 (dual ring cell plan with 57 cells), and b 2 (to maximize the range of cyclic shifts); and (5) L _ M127, a 4 (the maximum number of sequences used), and b1 (the only choice to be compatible with a).

In another example, the information carried by the WUS is the cell ID (or a portion of the cell ID) and timing information (0 ≦ I _ t ≦ N _ t). For example, I _ t — N _ subframe mod N _ t, where N _ t is the total number of timing indices and may be 2 or 4 or 6 or 8. For a sub-example of the method,

for a further sub-example of the method,where b and c are predefined constants. Note that there is a product term of timing information and cell ID to avoid coherent combination of interference from neighbor cells.

In yet another example, the information carried by the WUS is a cell ID (or a portion of a cell ID) and a UE group ID (or a portion of a UE group ID). For a sub-example of the method,for a further sub-example of the method,

in yet another example, the information carried by the WUS is a cell ID (or a portion of a cell ID) and a UE group ID (or a portion of a UE group ID) and timing information. For one sub-exampleWhere b and c are predefined constants. Note that there is a product term of timing information and cell ID to avoid coherent combination of interference from neighbor cells.

If L _ M ═ 127, the generation scheme (or equivalently the generator polynomial) for the M-sequence d _ M (i) may come from one of the construction schemes in table 1, with appropriate initial conditions, e.g. d_M(0)＝d_M(1)＝d_M(2)＝d_M(3)＝d_M(4)＝d_M(5)＝0，d_M(6) 1 or d_M(1)＝d_M(2)＝d_M(3)＝d_M(4)＝d_M(5)＝d_M(6) 0, or d_M(0) 1, if the cyclic shift is used to indicate information (otherwise, the initial condition may carry the corresponding information).

For example, for simplicity, the polynomial used to generate the M-sequence may be x ^7+ x +1. For another example, for simplicity, the polynomial used to generate the M-sequence may be x ^7+ x ^3+ 1. For yet another example, for simplicity, the polynomial used to generate the M-sequence may be x ^7+ x ^6+ 1. For yet another example, for simplicity, the polynomial used to generate the M-sequence may be x ^7+ x ^4+ 1.

Component IV: WUS based on Gold sequences.

In this component, the number of WUS sequences is limited by the square of the Gold sequence length. For example, if the length of the Gold sequence is 127, up to 127^2 WUS sequences are supported. Compared to WUS designs based on M-sequences, designs based on Gold sequences carry more information, but have worse cross-correlation.

Note that the Gold sequence-based WUS can also be considered as an M-sequence-based WUS with another M-sequence as a cover code.

The WUS may be constructed from a length L _ Gold sequence (i.e., an XOR of two M sequences) modulated by BPSK, where the information carried by the WUS is represented using a cyclic shift of the two M sequences generating the Gold sequence or an initial condition (note that the cyclic shift or initial condition is equivalent in terms of the generated sequence). The sequence may be mapped to REs for WUS in the frequency domain in frequency first and time second order with potential truncation or extension (e.g., N _ RE ^ WUS ^ 132 for 11 symbols within a subframe).

L _ Gold is determined by a sequence generation scheme and a mapping scheme. For example, if a WUS sequence is generated and mapped per subframe, L _ Gold may be 127. For another example, L _ Gold may be 255 or 511 if WUS sequences are generated and mapped across subframes.

Specifically, WUS is configured as given by d _ WUS (N) ═ 1-2 · ((d _ M1((N '+ c _ M1) mod L _ Gold) + d _ M2((N' + c _ M2) mod L _ Gold)) mod2), where N ═ 0, 1. The mapping of cyclic shifts c _ M1 and c _ M2 to the information carried by the two M sequences generating the Gold sequence (i.e., I _ info ^ M1 and I _ info ^ M2, respectively) may be according to c _ M1 ^ I _ info ^ M1, and c _ M2 ^ I _ info ^ M2.

In one example, the information carried by the WUS is the cell ID (i.e., N _ ID ^ cell) or a portion of the cell ID. Then, the cell ID information may be carried separately by the two M-sequences. For one sub-example, I _ info ^ M1 ^ b ^ (N _ ID ^ cell mod a), andwherein a, b, c are predefined constants: (1) l _ Gold 127, a 21 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells), b1 and c1 (to minimize the range of cyclic shifts); (2) l _ Gold 127, a 21 (single-ring cell plan with 21 cells), b 6 and c 5 (to maximize the range of cyclic shifts); (3) l _ Gold 127, a 57 (dual-ring cell plan with 57 cells), b1 and c1 (to minimize the range of cyclic shifts); (4) l _ Gold 127, a 57 (dual-ring cell plan with 57 cells), b 2 and c 8 (to maximize the range of cyclic shifts); (5) l _ Gold 127, a 127 (used for one)The maximum number of M sequences), b ═ 1 (the only choice to be compatible with a) and c ═ 1 (to minimize the range of cyclic shifts); and (6) L _ Gold 127, a 127 (using the maximum number of sequences for one M sequence), b1 (the only choice to be compatible with a) and c 126 (to maximize the range of cyclic shifts).

In another example, the information carried by the WUS is the cell ID (or a portion of the cell ID) and timing information (0 ≦ I _ t ≦ N _ t). For example, I _ t — N _ subframe mod N _ t, where N _ t is the total number of timing indices and may be 2 or 4 or 6 or 8. For one sub-example, the first M-sequence carries a portion of the cell ID information and the second M-sequence carries the remaining portion of the cell ID information carried by the WUS along with the timing information; i _ info ^ M1 ^ N _ ID ^ cell mode L _ Gold), andwhere a and b are constants, and for example,

and b is 1.

For another sub-example, the first M-sequence carries a portion of cell ID information and the second M-sequence carries timing information; i _ info ^ M1 ═ N _ ID ^ cell mod L _ Gold, and I _ info ^ M2 ^ a ^ I _ t, where a is a constant, and for example,

in yet another example, the information carried by the WUS is a cell ID (or a portion of a cell ID) and a UE group ID (or a portion of a UE group ID). For one sub-example, the first M-sequence carries a portion of the cell ID information and the second M-sequence carries the remaining portion of the cell ID information carried by the WUS along with the UE group ID: i _ info ^ M1 ^ N _ ID ^ cell mod L _ Gold), and

where a and b are constants, and for example,

and b is 1.

For another sub-example, the first M-sequence carries a portion of cell ID information and the second M-sequence carries a UE group ID; i _ info ^ M1 ^ L (N _ ID ^ cell mod L _ Gold), and I _ info ^ M2 ^ a ^ N _ ID ^ UEgroup, where a is a constant, and e.g.

In yet another example, the information carried by the WUS is a cell ID (or a portion of a cell ID) and a UE group ID (or a portion of a UE group ID) and timing information. For one sub-example, the first M-sequence carries a portion of the cell ID information and the second M-sequence carries the remaining portion of the cell ID information carried by the WUS along with the timing information and the UE group ID: i _ info ^ M1 ^ N _ ID ^ cell mod L _ Gold), andwhere a and b and c are constants, and for example,

and b is N _ t and c is 1.

For another sub-example, the first M-sequence carries a portion of the cell ID information, and the second M-sequence carries timing information and a UE group ID: i _ info ^ M1 ═ (N _ ID ^ cell mod L _ Gold), and I _ info ^ M2 ^ a ^ N _ ID ^ UEgroup + b ^ I _ t, where a and b are constants, and for exampleAnd b is 1.

If L _ Gold is 127, the generation scheme (or equivalently the polynomial) for generating the two M-sequences of Gold sequence d _ M1(i) and d _ M2(i) may come from two of the construction schemes in table 1, with appropriate initial conditions, e.g. d for the two M-sequences_M(0)＝d_M(1)＝d_M(2)＝d_M(3)＝d_M(4)＝d_M(5)＝0，d_M(6) 1, or d for two M sequences_M(1)＝d_M(2)＝d_M(3)＝d_M(4)＝d_M(5)＝d_M(6)＝0，d_M(0) 1, if a cyclic shift is used to indicate information (otherwise, the initial condition may carry the corresponding information).

For example, the polynomial used to generate the M-sequence may be x ^7+ x +1 for d _ M1(i) and x ^7+ x ^4+1 for d _ M2 (i).

For another example, the polynomial used to generate the M-sequence may be x ^7+ x ^3+1 for d _ M1(i) and x ^7+ x ^4+1 for d _ M2 (i).

For yet another example, the polynomial used to generate the M-sequence may be x ^7+ x +1 for d _ M1(i) and x ^7+ x ^6+1 for d _ M2 (i).

To assist cell search and synchronization, cells transmit synchronization signals such as Primary Synchronization Signals (PSS) and Secondary Synchronization Signals (SSS).

In LTE, the function of PSS is to provide coarse time and frequency domain synchronization as well as part of physical cell ID detection. The PSS is constructed from a length 63 frequency domain Zadoff-chu (zc) sequence, with the middle element truncated to avoid using d.c. subcarriers. 3 roots are selected for PSS to represent 3 physical layer identities within each cell group. The PSS is transmitted in the central 6 Resource Blocks (RBs), invariant to system bandwidth, to enable the UE to synchronize without a priori information of the system bandwidth.

In LTE, the function of the SSS sequence is to detect other parts of the cell ID based on coarse time and frequency domain synchronization detection from the PSS. CP size and duplex mode information is also detected by SSS sequence and SSS sequence relative position to PSS. The construction of SSS sequences is based on maximal length sequences (also called M-sequences). Each SSS sequence is constructed by interleaving two BPSK modulated subsequences of length 31 in the frequency domain, where the two subsequences are constructed from the same M sequence using different cyclic shifts. The cyclic shift index for the two parts is a function of the set of physical cell IDs.

Fig. 9 illustrates example time domain locations 900 for mapping of PSS/SSS for FDD and TDD in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure. The embodiment of the time domain location 900 illustrated in fig. 9 is for illustration only. Fig. 9 does not limit the scope of the present disclosure to any particular implementation.

Referring to fig. 9, in case of FDD, the PSS (925) is transmitted within the last symbol of the first slot of subframes 0 and 5(910 and 915) in each frame (905), wherein a subframe includes two slots. The SSS is transmitted in the second last symbol of the same slot (920). In the case of TDD, in each frame (955), PSS (990) is sent in the third symbol of subframes 1 and 6(965 and 980), while SSS (985) is sent in the last symbol of subframes 0 and 5(960 and 970). This difference allows detection of the duplex scheme on the cell. The resource elements for PSS and SSS are not available for transmission of any other type of DL signal.

Machine Type Communication (MTC) over cellular networks has emerged as an important opportunity for new applications in the networked world where devices communicate with people and with each other. MTC typically has relaxed delay and quality of service (QoS) requirements compared to typical human communication, and generally does not require mobility support. MTC can be used for a variety of applications in different sectors, including healthcare such as surveillance, industries such as security and security, energy sources such as meters and turbines, transportation such as fleet management and toll fees, and consumers and homes such as appliances and electricity.

Important requirements for commercial success of MTC are low power consumption and significantly lower cost for individual UEs than UEs with communication of existing servers. In other simplifications, by constraining the transmit BW and receive BW to small values of UL system BW or DL system BW, such as 6RB, respectively, by reducing the size of data TBs sent or received by low cost UEs (LC-UEs), or by implementing one receiver antenna instead of two receiver antennas implemented for existing UEs, a cost reduction of the LC-UEs relative to existing UEs can be achieved,

the LC-UE may be installed in the basement of a residential building or, generally, in locations where the LC-UE experiences large path loss and poor coverage due to low signal-to-noise-and-interference ratio (SINR). Even if the LC-UE does not experience large path loss, the LC-UE design choice of one receiver antenna and reduced maximum power amplifier gain may result in coverage loss. For this reason, the LC-UE may need to operate with enhanced coverage. In extremely poor coverage scenarios, LC-UEs may have characteristics such as very low data rates, large delay tolerances, and limited mobility, thereby potentially being able to operate without certain messages/channels. Not all LC-UEs need Coverage Enhancement (CE) or the same amount of CE. In addition, in different deployment scenarios, the required CE level may be different for different enbs, e.g. depending on the eNB transmit power or associated cell size or number of receiver antennas, and for different LC-UEs, e.g. depending on the location of the LC-UE.

Existing ways to support CE are to repeat the transmission of the channel in the time domain or in the frequency domain. An LC-UE operating with a CE may be configured by a serving ENB having one or more CE levels corresponding to the number of SFs for transmission or reception of respective channels. For example, the LC-UE may be configured by the eNB a first number of SFs to receive repetitions of a PDSCH, a second number of SFs to transmit repetitions of a PUSCH, and so on. The DL control channel for LC-UEs is assumed to be based on the EPDCCH structure and will be referred to as M-PDCCH. To minimize the number of SFs required for the LC-UE to receive the PDSCH or the M-PDCCH, the respective transmission may be on all RBs the LC-UE may receive in the SF (e.g., in a subband of 6 consecutive RBs), since the eNB is assumed not to be power limited. Conversely, because an LC-UE configured to transmit with repeated UL channels is assumed to have transmitted at maximum power, the LC-UE may transmit in 1RB of the SF in order to maximize the power spectral density.

In addition, to improve frequency diversity for transmission, frequency hopping may be applied, e.g., where a first number of repetitions for transmission is in a first subband and a second number of repetitions for transmission is in a second subband. Because a subband may correspond to a different set of 6 consecutive RBs, a transmission with frequency hopping requires the LC-UE to retune the Radio Frequency (RF) of the LC-UE to each respective subband, and this retuning introduces a delay that may range from a fraction of an SF symbol to one SF, depending on the implementation. During the RF retuning period, it is not desirable for the LC-UE to be able to transmit or receive.

The MIB for the LC-UE is referred to as an LC-MIB because the MIB may utilize a small number of bits of an existing MIB to provide scheduling information for LC-SIB-1 transmissions. Because the LC-UE does not know the UL/DL configuration in the case of a TDD system, or in general, the ABS or MBSFN SF when the LC-UE needs to detect the LC-MIB, the LC-MIB transmission only needs to occur in the SF guaranteed to be the DL SF, regardless of the UL/DL configuration or the presence of the ABS or MBSFN SF. For LC-MIB transmission, the LC-UE may assume that the existing DL control region always spans 3 SF symbols. This represents the maximum number of SF symbols for the existing DL control region for all DL system BWs except for the small DL system BW (see also REF 1). However, for small DL system BW, 3 SF symbols are sufficient for the existing DL control region without imposing unfavorable scheduling restrictions, since only limited DL scheduling (if any) can exist for the SF with LC-MIB transmission.

Fig. 10A illustrates an example transmission 1000 of an LC-MIB, which is continuously repeated in SF #0 and intermittently repeated in SF #5, in an FDD system having a frame structure using a normal CP, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of the transmission 1000 illustrated in fig. 10A is for illustration only. Fig. 10A does not limit the scope of the present disclosure to any particular implementation.

Fig. 10B illustrates another example transmission 1050 of an LC-MIB, which is continuously repeated in SF #0 and intermittently repeated in SF #5, in an FDD system having a frame structure using a normal CP, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of transmission 1050 illustrated in fig. 10B is for illustration only. Fig. 10B does not limit the scope of the present disclosure to any particular implementation.

Fig. 10A and 10B illustrate transmission of an LC-MIB, which is continuously repeated in SF #0 and intermittently repeated in SF #5, in an FDD system having a frame structure using a conventional CP. MIB repetition for LC-MIB with first, second, third and fourth PBCH repetition symbols is also shown in fig. 10A and 10B. SF #9 (subframe #9) includes the first and second PBCH repetitions and a portion of the third PBCH repetition, and SF #0 includes the remaining of the third PBCH and the fourth PBCH repetition. Among the 4 symbols in each PBCH repetition, the 0 th and first PBCH symbols in each PBCH repetition include CRS REs that will be used for legacy MTC UEs and other non-MTC UEs for cell-specific channel estimation and RRM measurements, which cannot overlap with additional signals.

Fig. 11A and 11B illustrate transmission of an LC-MIB, which is continuously repeated in SF #0 and intermittently repeated in SF #5, in a TDD system having a frame structure using a normal CP. MIB repetition for the LC-MIB with the first, second, third, fourth and fifth PBCH repetition symbols is also shown in fig. 3. However, only the first, third and fourth PBCH repetitions include the second and third PBCH symbols. SF #0 (subframe #0) includes a first PBCH repetition, and SF #5 includes a third PBCH repetition and a fourth PBCH repetition. Among the 4 symbols in each PBCH repetition, the 0 th and first PBCH symbols in each PBCH repetition include CRS REs that will be used for legacy MTC UEs and other non-MTC UEs for cell-specific channel estimation and RRM measurements, which cannot overlap with additional signals.

The LC-UE target is to use 20dB improved coverage for very low rate traffic with associated delay requirements. Coverage for legacy LTE PSS/SSS requires 11.4dB improvement for FDD and 17.4dB improvement for TDD to achieve an overall coverage enhancement target of 20 dB. For normal LTE, the SCH operating point for FDD systems is at-7.8 dB. An additional 11.4dB is required for coverage enhancement resulting in a-19.2 dB operating point being required. Therefore, there is a need to enable additional transmission of a resynchronization signal (RSS) to improve synchronization delay for LC-UEs.

The present disclosure provides sequence designs for generating a resynchronization signal (RSS) for even further enhanced MTC systems. The following designs are included in this disclosure: configuring; a unit of construction of one symbol (e.g., primary and secondary cover codes); a unit of construction of one subframe (e.g., no cover code, each subframe with a cover code, each RB with a cover code, and each RB and subframe with a cover code).

Component V: and (4) configuring.

In one embodiment, the information is carried in the RSS. RSS carries at least the cell ID, N ^ cell _ ID. The entire cell ID may be divided into several parts and carried by different components of the RSS (e.g., the RSS sequence and/or the mapping pattern of the RSS sequence). The partial cell ID, I ^ Part _ ID, may be in any of the following formats.

In one embodiment, I ^ Part _ ID ^ floor (N ^ cell _ ID/a _ ID), where a _ ID is a positive constant integer, e.g., a _ ID ^3 (note that when a _ ID ^3, I ^ Part _ ID is the same as N _ ID ^ (1)), or a _ ID ^ 168.

In another embodiment, I ^ Part _ ID mod (N ^ cell _ ID, a _ ID), where a _ ID is a positive constant integer, e.g., a _ ID 3 (note that when a _ ID is 3, I ^ Part _ ID is the same as N _ ID ^ (2)), or a _ ID 168.

In yet another embodiment, the IPart _ ID is a full cell ID, i.e., IPart _ ID is N cell ID.

In another embodiment, the bandwidth of the RSS in RBs, N ^ RB, is determined as follows. In one example, N ^ RB ^ 2. In another example, N ^ RB ^ 6.

The starting RB of RSS in the associated narrowband of 6 RBs, 0< ═ I _ startRB <6, can be determined as follows.

In one embodiment, I _ startRB carries Part of the cell ID information, I ^ Part _ ID. In one example, I _ startRB ═ b _ RB ═ floor (I ^ Part _ ID/a _ RBd _ RSS) + c _ RB, where a _ RB, b _ RB, and c _ RB are constant integers. For example, a _ RB is 168, b _ RB is 2, and c _ RB is 0. In another example, I _ startRB ═ b _ RB ═ mod (I ^ Part _ ID, a _ RB) + c _ RB, where a _ RB, b _ RB, and c _ RB are constant integers. For example, a _ RB is 3, b _ RB is 2, and c _ RB is 0. In yet another example, I _ startRB ═ a _ RB ^ I ^ Part _ ID + b _ RB, where a _ RB and b _ RB are constant integers. For example, a _ RB is 2 and b _ RB is 0.

In another embodiment, the I _ startRB is fixed and predefined in the specification. In one example, I _ startRB is 0 and RSS starts at the beginning of the associated narrowband. In another example, I _ startRB is 4, and RSS starts at the end of the associated narrowband. In another example, I _ startRB is 2, and RSS is located in the middle of the associated narrowband.

In yet another embodiment, the I _ startRB may be configured from a list of values. In one example, the list may be {0,2,4} per PRB within the associated narrowband.

One or more of the following transmit diversity schemes may be employed to improve RSS detection performance.

In one embodiment, power boosting may be employed to enhance detection performance. When the RSS sequence is not mapped to all REs of the narrowband (e.g., 6 PRBs), it can be considered that the power increase improves the detection performance. For example, when an RSS sequence maps to only N _ RE ^ RSS _ REs within 72 REs, a power increase factor of (72/N _ RE ^ RSS _ REs) ^0.5 may be performed on the REs that include the RSS sequence.

In another embodiment, the antenna ports for the RSS are switched every N AntSwitch _ SF subframe, e.g., N AntSwitch _ SF 2.

In yet another embodiment, when the bandwidth of the RSS is less than 6RB (e.g., N ^ RB <6), frequency hopping can be employed with respect to the RSS and the RSS is configured over multiple subframes (e.g., N _ SFs > 1). The starting RB within the associated narrowband at subframe index n _ sf may be determined as: i _ startRB ═ mod (N _ sf, N _ SFs) × a _ step + a _0, where a _ step and a _0 are constant integers. For example, a _0 is 0 and a _ step is 2.

Component VI: a building block of one symbol.

In this component, the RSS in the frequency domain can be constructed from a base sequence of one symbol and spread over N ^ SF _ symbs symbols per subframe and N _ SF subframe. The construction unit of one symbol occupies N RB consecutive RBs in an associated narrowband with I _ startRB (0< ═ I _ startRB <6) as starting RB. For example, N ^ RB ^ 2.

RSS at symbol index n _ symb and subframe index n _ sf, d _ RSS (n), constructed in the frequency domain according to: d _ rss (N) (b) (N) × c (N _ symb, N _ sf), N ═ 0., N ^ RE-1; and N _ symb 0., N SF _ symbs-1, N _ SF 0., N _ SFs-1, where b (N) is the base sequence, c (N _ symb, N _ SF) is a cover code that creates variance over time at both the symbol level and/or subframe level.

N RE is the number of available REs per symbol for the RSS map. In one embodiment, N ^ RE ^ 12 ^ N ^ RB-N ^ RE _ CRS, which excludes REs reserved for CRS. In another embodiment, N ^ RE ^ 12 ^ N ^ RB, which does not exclude REs reserved for CRS.

The base sequence b (n) can be determined as follows. In one embodiment, the base sequence b (N) may be generated from a ZC sequence of length N ^ ZC. For example, Z ^ ZC ^ 23 (e.g., for N ^ RB ^ 2). More specifically, b (N) ═ exp (-j pi un ' (N ' +1)/N ^ ZC), where N ' ═ mod (N, N ^ ZC), and u is the root of the ZC sequence (0< u < N ^ ZC), which can be used to carry Part of the cell ID information, e.g., I ^ Part _ ID (see component V). In one example, u ═ b _ RSS × (I ^ Part _ ID, a _ RSS) + c _ RSS, where a _ RSS, b _ RSS, and c _ RSS are constant integers. For example, a _ RSS is 22, b _ RSS is 1, and c _ RSS is 1. In another example, u ═ b _ RSS × (I ^ Part _ ID/a _ RSS) + c _ RSS, where a _ RSS, b _ RSS, and c _ RSS are constant integers. For example, a _ RSS is 8, b _ RSS is 1, and c _ RSS is 1.

In another embodiment, the base sequence b (N) may be generated from an M sequence of length N ^ M. For example, N ^ M ^ 15. More specifically, the present invention is to provide a novel,where the M-sequence s (i) can be generated from one of the configurations in table 1 (15 for N ^ M), with appropriate initial conditions, e.g. sM (0) ═ sM (1) ═ sM (2) ═ 0, sM (3) ═ 1. The cyclic shift M (0< ═ M0 < N ^ M) can be used to carry a Part of the cell ID, I ^ Part _ ID (see component V).

In another example, m0 ═ b _ RSS × (I ^ Part _ ID, a _ RSS) + c _ RSS, where a _ RSS, b _ RSS, and c _ RSS are constant integers. For example, a _ RSS 15, b _ RSS 1, and c _ RSS 0.

In one example, m0 ═ b _ RSS × (I ^ Part _ ID/a _ RSS) + c _ RSS, where a _ RSS, b _ RSS, and c _ RSS are constant integers. For example, a _ RSS is 12, b _ RSS is 1, and c _ RSS is 0.

Component vi.a: and (5) secondary covering codes.

In this sub-component, the cover code c (n _ symb, n _ sf) is constructed in two stages. In this case, the cover codes of the symbol level and the subframe level are independently/separately mapped by c1(n _ symb) and c2(n _ sf), respectively. More specifically, c (N _ symb, N _ SF) ═ c1(N _ symb) × c2(N _ SF), N _ symb ═ 0.,. N ^ SF _ symbs-1, k ^0.,. N _ SFs-1.

The first cover code c1(N _ symb) mapped at symbol level or across N _ symb symbols within a subframe may be generated from one of the following options.

In one embodiment, based on c1(n _ symb) ═ exp (-j × 2 × pi × θ),c1(n _ symb) is constructed as a complex value and carries a Part of the cell ID, I ^ Part _ ID (see group)Moiety V) where K0, K1, K2 and K3 are constant integers. For example, K0 ═ 11, K1 ═ 3, K2 ═ 1, and K3 ═ 1.

In another embodiment, according to c1(l) ═ exp (-j × 2 × pi θ),c1(n _ symb) is constructed as a complex value and carries a Part of the cell ID, I ^ Part _ ID (see component V), where K0, K1, K2, and K3 are constant integers. For example, K0 ═ 11, K1 ═ 3, K2 ═ 1, and K3 ═ 1.

In another embodiment, based on c1(n _ symb) ═ exp (-j × 2 × pi × θ),c1(n _ symb) is constructed as a complex value, where K0, K1 and K2 are constant integers. For example, K0 ═ 11, K1 ═ 1, and K2 ═ 0.

In one embodiment, c1(n _ symb) ═ 1-2 × s '(i), i ═ mod (n _ symb × K0+ K1,15), s' (i) ═ s (mod (i + M1,15)), c1(n _ symb) is constructed from BPSK modulated M sequences of length 15, where s (i) can be generated from one of the construction schemes in 3, with appropriate initial conditions, e.g., sM (0) ═ sM (1) ═ sM (2) ═ sM (3) ═ 0, sM (4) ═ 1. K0 and K2 are constant integers, e.g., K0 ═ 1 and K1 ═ 0.

In one example, the cyclic shift m1 may be used to carry a portion of the cell ID, I ^ Part _ ID (see component V). For example, m1 ═ mod (I ^ Part _ ID, 15). In another example, cyclic shift m1 is a constant integer. For example, m1 ═ 0. In another embodiment, c1(n _ symb) ═ 1111-1-1111-11, similar to NPSSS.

The second cover code c2(N _ SF) mapped at subframe level or across N _ SF subframes may be generated from one of the following options. In one embodiment, c2(n _ sf) alternates every K _ sf subframes. For example, K _ sf — 2. In one example, c2(n _ sf) is exp (-j × 2 × pi θ), θ is K '/K _ sf, K' is mod (n _ sf, K _ sf). In one example, c2(n _ sf) is exp (-j (2 x pi θ + pi/2)), θ is K '/K _ sf, K' mod (n _ sf, K _ sf). In one example, c2(n _ sf) is exp (j 2 pi θ), θ is K '/K _ sf, K' mod (n _ sf, K _ sf). In one example, c2(n _ sf) is exp (j (2 × pi θ + pi/2)), θ is K '/K _ sf, K' is mod (n _ sf, K _ sf).

Component vi.b: a primary cover code.

In this subcomponent, the cover code c (N _ symb, N _ sf) is constructed from a single sequence c0(i) having a length of N _ c 0. A cover code is mapped across symbols of all subframes for the transmission duration. More specifically, c (N _ symb, N _ sf) is c0(mod (i, N _ c0)), i is K2 mod (N _ sf, K1) + N _ symb, where K1 and K2 are constant integers. For example, K1 ═ 2 and K2 ═ 11. For example, K1 ═ 2 and K2 ═ 14.

In one embodiment, for the length of the cover code N _ c0, N _ c0 ^ 2^ N-1, where N is the largest positive constant integer satisfying 2^ N-1< K1 ^ N SF _ symbs. In another embodiment, for the length of the cover code, N _ c0 ═ K1 ^ N ^ SF _ symbs.

The base sequence of cover codes c0(i) can be generated from the following scheme. In one embodiment, c0(i) is a BPSK modulated M sequence with cyclic shift M1. More specifically, c (i) ═ 1-2 × c' (mod (i + m1, N _ c0)), i ═ 0.., N _ c 0-1. In such an embodiment, for the length of the cover code, N _ c 0: in one example, N _ c0 ═ 15. For example, c' (i) can be constructed with a generator polynomial x ^4+ x + 1; in another example, N _ c0 ═ 31. For example, c' (i) can be constructed with a generator polynomial x ^5+ x ^2+ 1; and in yet another example, N _ c0 ═ 63. For example, c' (i) may be expressed in a generator polynomial x⁶A + x +1 configuration. In such an embodiment, for cyclic shift m 1: in one example, the overlay code does not carry cell ID information, m1 ═ 0; and in another example m1 carries a Part of the cell ID, I ^ Part _ ID (see component V). For example, m1 ═ mod (I ^ Part _ ID, N _ c 0).

In another embodiment, c0(i) is a BPSK modulated Gold sequence. More specifically, c (i) ═ 1-2 × c '_1(mod (i + m1, N _ c0))) (1-2 × c' _2(mod (i + m2, N _ c0))), i ═ 0., N _ c 0-1. In such an embodiment, for the length of the cover code N _ c 0: in one example, N _ c0 ═ 31. For example, c '_1(i) and c' _2(i) can be constructed with generator polynomials x ^5+ x ^2+1 and x ^5+ x ^4+ x ^3+ x ^2+1, respectively; and in another example, N _ c0 ═ 63. For example, c '_1(i) and c' _2(i) may be respectively polynomial in generatorsx⁶+ x +1 and x ^6+ x ^5+ x ^2+ x +1 constructs.

In such an embodiment, for cyclic shifts m1 and m 2: in one example, the overlay code does not carry cell ID information, m1 ═ 0, m2 ═ 0; and in another example, the coverage code carries a portion of the cell ID, I ^ Part _ ID (see component V). For example, m1 ═ mod (I ^ Part _ ID, N _ c0), m 2^ floor (I ^ Part _ ID/N _ c0), where a is a constant integer.

In a further embodiment, c0(i) is configured as a complex value according to c1(i) ═ exp (-j × 2 × pi θ), i ═ 0.., N _ c 0-1. In such an embodiment: in one example, θ can be used to carry a portion of the cell ID, I ^ Part _ ID (see component V); in one sub-example of the above,

wherein a and b are constant integers. For example, a ═ 11, b ═ 1; in a further sub-example of the method,wherein a and b are constant integers. For example, a ═ 11, b ═ 1; and in another example, θ is independent of cell ID. In one sub-example of the above,wherein a is a constant integer. For example, a ═ 22.

Component VII: and constructing a subframe.

In this component, the RSS can be constructed from a base sequence with a duration of 1 subframe (e.g., by reserving 11 symbols of 3 symbols for PDCCH within the subframe), b (N) with a length of N ^ RE, where N ^ RE is the number of available REs per subframe with the configured bandwidth of N ^ RB. In one embodiment, for the length of the base sequence N RE, N RE ^ N (12X 11N RE CRS) N SF RB, where 1< N SF RB < N RB and N RE CRS is the RE reserved for CRS per PRB. In another embodiment, for the length of the base sequence N RE, N RE 12X 11N SF RB, where 1< N SF RB < N RB.

In one embodiment, for the mapping mode, when N ^ SF _ RB ^ N ^ RB, d _ rss (N) is first mapped into the frequency domain over the entire bandwidth of N ^ RB RBs, and then across symbols into the time domain over the entire configured duration of N _ SF subframes.

In another embodiment, for the mapping mode, when N ^ SF _ RB < N ^ RB, d _ RSS (N) is first mapped in the frequency domain within one RB, and then across symbols into the time domain for the entire configured duration of N _ SF subframes, and finally repeated over the entire bandwidth N ^ RB.

The base sequence b (n) can be determined as follows. In one embodiment, the base sequence b (N) may be generated from a ZC sequence of length N ^ ZC. More specifically, b (N) ═ exp (-j pi un ' (N ' +1)/N ^ ZC), where N ' ═ mod (N, N ^ ZC), and u is the root (0< u < N ^ ZC). In such an embodiment, for the length of the ZC sequence N ^ ZC: in one example, NZC may be 263; in another example, NZC may be 131.

Root u may be used to carry I ^ Part _ ID that is Part of the cell ID (see component V). In one example, u ═ b _ RSS × (I ^ Part _ ID, a _ RSS) + c _ RSS, where a _ RSS, b _ RSS, and c _ RSS are constant integers. For example, a _ RSS is 168, b _ RSS is 1, and c _ RSS is 1. In another example, u ═ b _ RSS × (I ^ Part _ ID/a _ RSS) + c _ RSS, where a _ RSS, b _ RSS, and c _ RSS are constant integers. For example, a _ RSS is 3, b _ RSS is 1, and c _ RSS is 1.

In another embodiment, the base sequence b (N) may be generated from an M sequence of length N ^ M. More specifically, b (N) ═ 1-2 × s (mod (N + M0, N ^ M)). The generator representing the M sequence construction can be determined based on the sequence length N M and has predefined initial conditions. In such an embodiment, for the generator of the M sequence and the length N ^ M: in one example, N ^ M ^ 255, the M sequence s (i) may be from one of the construction schemes in table 2. For example, scheme 1 has a generator polynomial x⁸+x⁴+x³+x²+1 and initial conditions [ 00000001%](ii) a And in another example, N ^ M ^ 127.

In another example, m0 ═ b _ RSS × (I ^ Part _ ID/a _ RSS) + c _ RSS, where a _ RSS, b _ RSS, and c _ RSS are constant integers. For example, a _ RSS is 3, b _ RSS is 1, and c _ RSS is 1.

In yet another embodiment, the base sequence may be constructed from QPSK or BPSK modulated Gold sequences, e.g., in case of QPSK modulation, the base sequence s (n) can be generated from b (n) ((1-2 × ((s _ M1((2n + M _ M1) mod L _ G) + s _ M2((2n + M _ M2) mod L _ G)) mod2))/√ 2+ j × (1-2 × ((s _ M1((2n +1+ M _ M1) mod L _ G) + s _ M2((2n +1+ M _ M2) mod L _ G)) mod2))/√ v 2), or if BPSK modulation, from b (n) ═ 1-2 @ ((s _ M1((n + M _ M1) mod L _ G) + s _ M2((n + M _ M2) mod L _ G)) mod2), where M G is the length of the Gold sequence, and M _ M1 and M _ M2 are cyclic shifts applied to two M sequences, respectively, used to construct the Gold sequence. Two generators of the two M sequences to construct the Gold sequence are denoted G _ M1(x) and G _ M2(x), respectively, which can be determined based on the sequence length M G, with predefined initial conditions for each M sequence.

For the generator and length of the Gold sequence N ^ G, in one example, N ^ G ^ 255. For example, two generators are g _ M1(x) ═ x⁸+x⁷+x⁶+ x +1 and g _ M2(x) ═ x⁸+x⁷+x²+ x +1, with initial conditions [ 00000001%]. For example, any two generators from table 4. In another example, N ^ G ^ 127. For example, two generators are g _ M1(x) ═ x⁷+x³+1 and g _ M2(x) ═ x⁷+x³+x²+ x +1, with initial conditions [ 00000001%]。

The two cyclic shifts M _ M1, M _ M2 may be used to carry a Part of the cell ID I Part ID (see component V). In one example, M _ M1 ═ b _ RSS × (I ^ Part _ ID, a _ RSS) + c _ RSS, where a _ RSS, b _ RSS, and c _ RSS are constant integers. For example, a _ RSS 168, b _ RSS 1, c _ RSS 1, while M _ M2 e _ RSS floor (I ^ Part _ ID/d _ RSS) + f _ RSS, where d _ RSS, e _ RSS, and f _ RSS are constant integers. For example, d _ RSS is 3, e _ RSS is 1, and f _ RSS is 1. In another example, M _ M2 ═ b _ RSS × (I ^ Part _ ID, a _ RSS) + c _ RSS, where a _ RSS, b _ RSS, and c _ RSS are constant integers. For example, a _ RSS 168, b _ RSS 1, c _ RSS 1, while M _ M1 e _ RSS floor (I ^ Part _ ID/d _ RSS) + f _ RSS, where d _ RSS, e _ RSS, and f _ RSS are constant integers. For example, d _ RSS is 3, e _ RSS is 1, and f _ RSS is 1.

In yet another embodiment, the base sequence may be constructed from a PN sequence generated from a QPSK modulated sequence constructed from an XOR of two M sequences with a length of 2^31-1, e.g., PN sequence s (n) may be generated from s (n) ((s _ a (2n + Nc) + s _ B (2n + Nc)) mod2))/√ 2+ j (1-2 [ ((s _ a (2n + Nc +1) + s _ B (2n + Nc +1)) mod2))/√ 2, where the generator of s _ a may be g _ B (x ^31+ x ^3+1, the generator of s _ B may be g _ B (x ^31+ x ^3+ x ^2+ x +1, the initial condition of s _ a is fixed to the initial condition of 351, s _ a may be used to carry the initial ID _ B _ ID B, c, i ^ Part _ ID (see component V), and Nc is the output shift offset (e.g., Nc 1600).

In one example, the initial condition c _ B may be determined from c _ B ═ B _ PN ^ I Part ID +1) + a _ PN, where a _ PN and B _ PN are predefined constant integers. In another example, the initial condition c _ B may be determined from c _ B ═ B _ PN ^ Part _ ID +1 ^ n (n _ sf +1) + c _ PN ^ n (I Part _ ID +1) + d _ PN ^ n (n _ sf +1) + a _ PN, where a _ PN, B _ PN, c _ PN, and d _ PN are predefined constant integers.

In this sub-component, the base sequence b (N) can be spread into N _ SF subframes within the configured duration and narrowband of the RSS with a coverage code in the frequency domain per RB and in the time domain per subframe. RSS in the frequency domain within one PRB at subframe index N _ SF and RB index i _ RB is d _ RSS (N, i _ RB, N _ SF) ═ b (N) · c1(i _ RB) · c2(N _ SF), N ═ 0.., N ^ RE-1, i _ RB ═ 0.., N ^ RB-1, N _ SF · 0.,.

Power consumption and battery life are very important for terminals in the internet of things (IoT). In an enhanced machine type communication (eMTC) or narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) system, power of a terminal device may be saved by configuring a Power Saving Mode (PSM) or an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) mode. However, the UE cannot listen to the paging message during sleep in the PSM mode or the eDRX mode. In some IoT application scenarios, the UE is required to establish a connection with the network within a certain time period after receiving the network command. Then the UE with the requirement cannot be configured in PSM mode or eDRX mode with a relatively long period.

In an enhanced version of the LTE specification, eMTC and NB-IoT systems, to enable paging of UEs while saving power, wake-up or sleep signals/channels are introduced after learning and research. The wake-up signal/channel is configured to wake-up the UE, i.e. the UE needs to continue to monitor the subsequent MTC Physical Downlink Control Channel (MPDCCH) for indication of paging messages. The sleep signal/channel is configured to indicate that the UE may enter a sleep state, i.e., a case where the UE does not need to monitor a subsequent MPDCCH indicating a paging message.

In a multi-carrier system, a carrier transmitting a synchronization signal is referred to as an anchor carrier, and in an LTE system, a paging signal is transmitted on the anchor carrier. In LTE NB-IoT systems, schemes are introduced for sending paging messages on non-anchor carriers. In the eMTC system, a plurality of narrow bands are defined, wherein a narrow band has 6 Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs), and a concept of a Paging Narrow Band (PNB) is introduced. In addition, in an eMTC system, a downlink control channel MPDCCH for MTC is configured to indicate paging messages, and different UEs may monitor the MPDCCH on different narrowbands. Similarly, in an ongoing 5G New Radio (NR) system, there is a case where the bandwidth of the UE is smaller than the system bandwidth, and in this case, a plurality of bandwidth parts may be defined for the paging channel. For the case of multiple carriers or narrow bands or partial bandwidths, a problem that remains to be solved is how to send and receive wake-up or sleep signals.

For an enhanced eMTC system in an LTE system, the UE has the flexibility to set DRX periods according to the application requirements of the UE. Meanwhile, long idle periods are supported, e.g., 44 minutes in idle eDRX mode, 10.24 seconds in connected eDRX mode. In this disclosure, several types of wake-up signals (WUS) are designed to facilitate the decoding process of LTE Cat-M1UE in eDRX mode.

The present disclosure provides sequence design for generating wake-up signals (WUS) for enhanced MTC systems. The following designs are included in this disclosure: WUS with no cover code and an interleaving-based M sequence with a cover code; WUS of sparse mapping based M-sequences using the same set of base sequences across symbols and using different sets of base sequences across symbols; an M-sequence based WUS with no cover code and a cover code with phase shift; a Gold sequence based WUS with no cover code, a cover code with M sequence, and a cover code with phase shift; cover codes with short base sequences and M sequences, cover codes with short base sequences and phase shifts, cover codes with short base sequences and Gold sequences, cover codes with short base sequences and PN sequences, and ZC sequence-based WUS with long base sequences mapped across symbols; WUS based on PN sequence; with respect to resynchronization/enhanced synchronization sequences; and performance enhancement.

The present disclosure provides several components that may be used in combination or combination with each other, or may operate as a stand-alone solution.

The present disclosure focuses on sequence design and mapping of wake-up signals (WUS) for enhanced MTC systems.

Component VIII: design aspects of WUS sequences.

The following design schemes are contemplated in this disclosure, where embodiments from the design schemes can be combined to generate WUS sequences.

Aspect 1: the base sequence type of the WUS sequence and the number of WUS sequences are generated. The base sequence generating WUS may have good cross-correlation properties so that WUS may be detected by the UE even under harsh channel conditions or under excessive Maximum Coupling Loss (MCL). Note that at least one other or more sequences on the base sequence generating WUS may also exist, wherein one or more sequences on top of the base sequence may use the same or different types of sequences as the base sequence. In one example, one or more sequences on the base sequence may also use at least one of the following types of sequences.

In one embodiment, an M-sequence may be used as the base sequence. In another embodiment, a Gold sequence may be used as the base sequence, where the Gold sequence is an XOR of the two M sequences. In yet another embodiment, a ZC sequence may be used as the base sequence. In yet another embodiment, a PN sequence may be used as the base sequence.

The number of WUS sequences is determined by the amount of information carried by the WUS sequences (see, in particular, aspect 2). For each piece of information, a unique WUS sequence is generated accordingly. By controlling the employed cyclic shift step size and/or the number of employed base sequences and/or the initial conditions of the sequences (if applicable) and/or additional sequences applied to the base sequences, a sufficient number of WUS sequences with guaranteed correlation properties can be generated.

Aspect 2: the information to be transmitted. The information carried by the WUS, which is generally considered in this disclosure, may include at least one cell ID or a portion of a cell ID; and/or a UE group identifier or a portion of a UE group identifier for different types of paging; and/or timing information (e.g., subframe index/SFN/hyper-SFN/slot index/symbol index); and/or a system information update indicator; and/or system information.

In one embodiment, the information carried by the WUS may be a cell ID (i.e.,) Or a portion of the cell ID information (e.g.,

and/orWhere a and b are predefined constants).

In another embodiment, the information carried by the WUS may be the UE group ID (i.e., with N)^UEgroupSize ofE.g. N ^UEgroup4, 8, 16) or a portion of the UE group ID (e.g.,

and/or

mod d, where c and d are predefined constants). In one example of the use of a magnetic resonance imaging system,

determined by the PO index n _ PO of the first association. In one sub-example of the above,where K0 is a constant integer, e.g., K0 equals the number of POs per subframe. Or K0 equals the number of POs periodic per WUS. In another example of the above-described method,from one toA subset of UEs within a PO is determined.

In yet another embodiment, the information carried by the WUS may be information about time. In one example, I _ t includes both a subframe index and a symbol index. For example, I _ t-K0 × I _ sf + I _ symb, where K0 is a constant, e.g., K0-11. In another example, I _ t is a subframe index/SFN/hyper-SFN/slot index/symbol index X, or X mod e, where e is a predefined constant. In yet another embodiment, the information carried by the WUS may be a system information update indicator, and/or system information (e.g., system information updates carried by paging).

In yet another embodiment, the information carried by the WUS may be a combination of two or all from the above embodiments. For example, full/partial cell ID and timing related information, or full/partial cell ID and UE group ID, or full/partial cell ID together with timing related information and UE group ID.

Aspect 3: intra-symbol and cross-symbol sequence mapping schemes. With a specific sequence mapping mechanism in both the frequency and time domains, the WUS can be constructed with good characteristics to meet the needs of different scenarios/applications.

In one embodiment, at least two sequences constructed from one or more base sequences (e.g., cyclically shifted versions of one or more base sequences having a length of 31) are interleaved in the frequency domain within a symbol. In this embodiment, a basic sequence is capable of transmitting a large amount of information (e.g.,)

In one sub-embodiment, the sequence of WUS constructed within a symbol may repeat across symbols. In another sub-embodiment, the symbol index may be carried by a cyclic shift of at least one of the one or more base sequences, which results in a changed WUS at the symbol level. In yet another sub-embodiment, the base sequence may be separately scrambled by a cover code that includes time information (e.g., at least a symbol index) so that WUS may differ across symbols.

In another embodiment, a sequence constructed from the base sequence (e.g., a cyclically shifted version of the base sequence having a length of 31) is mapped to only even or odd subcarriers within a symbol. In this embodiment, WUS in the time domain consists of two identical halves or two halves with opposite amplitudes. Thus, one auto-or cross-correlation within the received sequence can be performed to detect the sequence, which is insensitive to CFO on narrow bands. In one sub-embodiment, the sequence of WUS constructed within a symbol may repeat across symbols. In another sub-embodiment, the symbol index may be carried by a cyclic shift of at least one of the one or more base sequences, which results in a changed WUS at the symbol level. In yet another sub-embodiment, constructed WUS sequences using different base sequences may be mapped into symbols, where the symbol index depends on the choice of base sequence.

In yet another embodiment, a sequence constructed from a base sequence (e.g., a cyclically shifted version of the base sequence having a length of 63) may be mapped directly into contiguous subcarriers in the frequency domain within a symbol (potentially with some truncation). In this embodiment, the constructed WUS has better cross-correlation than the interleaved mapping scheme and can carry moderate amounts of information. In one sub-embodiment, the sequence of WUS constructed within a symbol may repeat across symbols. In another sub-embodiment, the sequence of WUS constructed within a symbol may carry time information (e.g., at least a symbol index) so that the WUS may be different across symbols. In yet another sub-embodiment, the base sequence is separately scrambled by a cover code that includes time information (e.g., at least a symbol index) such that the sequence is different across symbols.

In yet another embodiment, a sequence constructed from a base sequence (e.g., a cyclically shifted version of the base sequence having a length greater than 100) may be mapped directly in the frequency domain across more than one symbol, e.g., in a mapping order of first frequency and second time.

Aspect 4: mapping to RE resources. In one embodiment, the WUS may be truncated within the configured RE resources at the location of the CRS to avoid impact on legacy LTE UEs. In another embodiment, the WUS may map directly to the configured RE resources.

Component IX: WUS based on interleaved M sequences.

In this component, the WUS sequence is constructed from at least two base sequences, wherein a base sequence is a BPSK modulated M sequence having a length of 31. Make it

In another example of the above-described method,from primitive polynomial x⁵+x³+x²+ x +1 is generated, andfrom primitive polynomial x⁵+x⁴+x²+ x +1 generation.

WUS d (n) within a symbol may be constructed by interleaving four extended sequences, which are generated from two base sequences and are alternately mapped to even and odd subcarriers in the central 62 REs within 6 PRBs of the allocated bandwidth. For example, the mapping schema may be based onMode 1:

n is 0,., 30, or pattern 2:

WUS d (n) constructed within a symbol may be mapped to a plurality of symbols in the time domain. In one example, the WUS sequence is repeated over at least two consecutive symbols. For example, the number of consecutive symbols mapping the same WUS sequence may be the same as the number of symbols used for WUS.

In another example, mapping mode 1 and mode 2 are employed based on time information. In this instance, if

Mode 1, and if

Then the operation of mode 2, wherein,is a symbol index (e.g., 0 to 13) with a subframe. In this instance, if

Mode 1, and ifThen the operation of mode 2, wherein,

is to have a subframe index (e.g., 0 to 9) of the frame and the mapping pattern within the subframe remains the same.

In yet another example, the polynomial for the base sequence varies across symbols and is based on time information including at least a symbol index and/or a subframe index.

In yet another example, cyclic shifts (e.g., m) for base sequences₀、m₁、m₂、m₃At least one of) across symbols and based on time information including at least a symbol index and/or a subframe index.

In yet another example, a combination of the above examples.

In one consideration, because of the length of the base sequence (i.e.,) Is 31 for each cyclic shift pair (m)_2i，m_2i+1) The maximum number of combinations (or equivalently the number of generated sequences from one base sequence) Nc, which may be 465 if the cyclic shift pairs are chosen differently,and otherwise Nc may be 961, (31 × 31 ═ 961). With two base sequences, there may be up to Nc different WUS sequences for the design in this sub-embodiment. Information (e.g., identifier) carried by each base sequence if the cyclic shift pairs are selected differentlyAnd a cyclic shift pair (m)_2i，m_2i+1) An example of the mapping between indices is shown in table 6.

In one example, the information carried by the WUS is a cell ID (i.e.,) Or a portion of the cell ID. The cell ID information may then be identified by two WUS identifiers

Component XV: relation to resynchronization/enhanced synchronization sequences.

Reliable synchronization performance is also important for UEs operating with eDRX or PSM. In idle mode paging, the UE wakes up from the duration of sleep according to the DRX cycle. Due to clock drift and long DRX cycles, the synchronization error may become very large when the UE wakes up at the pre-configured PO. This will significantly deteriorate the decoding performance of the subsequent MPDCCH/PDSCH of the UE. A periodic synchronization signal would be helpful in this scenario.

Therefore, the resynchronization signal or enhanced synchronization sequence for initial access can also be modified with the following features: at least one configuration for periodicity of resynchronization signals is based on DRX cycle for idle mode paging. At least one configuration for periodicity of resynchronization signals is based on DRX cycle for idle mode paging.

Constituent XVI: the performance is enhanced.

One or more schemes as defined below may be employed to improve WUS detection performance. In one embodiment, power boosting may be employed to enhance detection performance. When a WUS sequence is not mapped to all REs of the narrowband (e.g., 6 PRBs), it can be considered that the power increase improves detection performance. For example, when a WUS sequence maps to only N _ RE WUS REs within 72 REs, a power increase factor of (72/N _ RE WUS) ^0.5 can be performed on the REs that include the WUS sequence.

In another embodiment, repetition may be employed to enhance detection performance. WUS can support sequence repetition/extension. In yet another embodiment, TX diversity is transparent to the UE.

The embodiment of the method 1200 illustrated in fig. 12 is for illustration only. Fig. 12 does not limit the scope of the present disclosure to any particular implementation.

As shown in fig. 12, method 1200 begins at step 1205. In step 1205, 1, the UE identifies a set of resources configured for the UE based on a Physical Cell Identifier (PCID). In this step 1205, the identified set of resources is one of a first set of resources configured for a first type of UE or a second set of resources configured for a second type of UE, and the UE is one of the first type of UE or the second type of UE.

In one embodiment, at step 1205, the first configuration of the first set of resources includes a first periodicity of the first signal associated with a configuration of a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle for paging operation of the first type of UE. In another embodiment, at step 1205, the second configuration of the second set of resources includes a second periodicity of the second signal associated with a configuration of DRX cycles for paging operations of the second type of UE.

In such embodiments, the first sequence is generated for at least one first subframe within the first periodicity and the second sequence is generated for at least one second subframe within the second periodicity. In such embodiments, Resource Elements (REs) within each of the at least one first and second subframes are mapped to first and second signals, respectively, excluding mappings for Physical Downlink Control Channels (PDCCHs) or cell-specific reference signals (CRSs).

In such an embodiment, the first and second sequences are determined based on the length 131 ZC sequence scrambled by the cover code, respectively, and the root of the length 131 ZC sequence is determined based on the PCID and determined by

Is given inIs the PCID.

In such an embodiment, the cover code is determined based on a Pseudo Noise (PN) sequence. In such embodiments, the initial condition for the PN sequence includes a product term of the PCID and the time information of the Paging Occasion (PO) within the DRX cycle to which the first and second signals are associated. In such an embodiment, the initial condition of the PN sequence is set byIs given by_tIs information included in the first set of resources and the second set of resources, and a and b are constant integers. In such an embodiment, the first set of resources includes at least one Resource Block (RB) and the second set of resources includes at least two consecutive RBs, the second sequence being repeated in the at least two consecutive RBs.

In such an embodiment, when the first type of UE and the second type of UE are configured with the same information including the PCID, the first sequence is the same as the second sequence. In such embodiments, the first and second sets of resources comprise at least the same configured transmission duration and time information of a PO within the DRX cycle to which the first and second signals are respectively associated.

In step 1210, the UE receives a signal via a downlink channel.

In step 1215, the UE identifies a sequence identified based on the set of resources and the PCID.

In step 1220, the UE detects information carried by the received signal based on the identified sequence. In step 1220, the identified sequence is one of a first sequence generated based on the first set of resources and the PCID or a second sequence generated based on the second set of resources and the PCID.
