Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a communication method, a base station and a user equipment. The communication method includes: sending, by a base station, a random access response message to a user equipment UE, where the random access response message includes a timing advance command, and a value TA of the timing advance command is NTA/(N*Ts), where, the NTA indicates the amount of the time alignment the UE, the N*Ts indicates a unit granularity for the UE to perform time alignment, the N is greater than 16, and the Ts indicates the smallest time unit. In the present disclosure, the unit granularity for the UE to perform time alignment may be enlarged, so that the UE can use a larger amount of the time alignment when performing the time alignment, thereby supporting the coverage of a cell with a long distance.
Abstract:
A PRACH preamble sequence being sent by the UE is received. An RAR in response to the PRACH preamble sequence is generated. The RAR includes a TA command. The TA command includes an integer value that is greater than 1282. The integer value alone is capable of determining a TA supporting the UE to perform an uplink time alignment. The RAR is then sent to the UE.
