Abstract

Provided are a data merging method and apparatus for physical random access channel (PRACH) data merging, and a storage medium. The method includes the following. A task parameter of Current PRACH data merging is parsed. PRACH data of a to-be-merged antenna is read from a PRACH data cache. PRACH data merging between multiple antennas and/or RACH data merging within a PRACH of a present antenna are performed according to the task parameter. Merged data is output to a shared cache.

Claims (27)

1. A method for physical random access channel (PRACH) data merging, comprising:

parsing a task parameter of current PRACH data merging;

reading PRACH data of multiple antennas from a PRACH data cache;

performing PRACH data merging between the multiple antennas and random access channel (RACH) data merging within a PRACH of a same antenna according to the task parameter; and

outputting merged data to a shared cache;

wherein the reading the PRACH data of the multiple antennas from the PRACH data cache comprises:

reading the PRACH data of the multiple antennas from the PRACH data cache successively in units of an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, and starting PRACH data merging processing every time a piece of OFDM symbol data is received.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the task parameter comprises at least one of: a PRACH format, a data merging mode, a data storage address or data volume of PRACH data in a current OFDM symbol.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the performing the PRACH data merging between the multiple antennas and the RACH data merging within the PRACH of the same antenna according to the task parameter comprises:

determining whether the PRACH data merging between the multiple antennas needs to be performed, in response to the PRACH data merging between the multiple antennas being need to perform, merging the PRACH data of the multiple antennas according to an OFDM symbol time in time division, and merging RACH data of the same antenna within a merged PRACH.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein for the PRACH data merging between the multiple antennas or the RACH data merging within the PRACH of the same antenna, after PRACH data processing during a current OFDM symbol time, caching field data, and restoring field data of a corresponding antenna for continuing processing after PRACH data of a next OFDM symbol time arrives.

5. The method according to claim 1 , before the parsing the task parameter of the current PRACH data merging, further comprising:

configuring the task parameter of the current PRACH data merging.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program which is configured to, when executed, implement the method of claim 1 .

7. An electronic apparatus, comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and the processor is configured to execute the computer program to implement a method for physical random access channel (PRACH) data merging, wherein the method comprises:

parsing a task parameter of current PRACH data merging;

reading PRACH data of multiple antennas from a PRACH data cache;

performing PRACH data merging between the multiple antennas and random access channel (RACH) data merging within a PRACH of a same antenna according to the task parameter; and

outputting merged data to a shared cache;

wherein the reading the PRACH data of the multiple antennas from the PRACH data cache comprises:

reading the PRACH data of the multiple antennas from the PRACH data cache successively in units of an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, and starting PRACH data merging processing every time a piece of OFDM symbol data is received.

8. The electronic apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the task parameter comprises at least one of: a PRACH format, a data merging mode, a data storage address or data volume of PRACH data in a current OFDM symbol.

9. The electronic apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the performing the PRACH data merging between the multiple antennas and the RACH data merging within the PRACH of the same antenna according to the task parameter comprises:

determining whether the PRACH data merging between the multiple antennas needs to be performed, in response to the PRACH data merging between the multiple antennas being need to perform, merging the PRACH data of the multiple antennas according to an OFDM symbol time in time division, and merging RACH data of the same antenna within a merged PRACH.

10. The electronic apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein for the PRACH data merging between the multiple antennas or the RACH data merging within the PRACH of the same antenna, after PRACH data processing during a current OFDM symbol time, caching field data, and restoring field data of a corresponding antenna for continuing processing after PRACH data of a next OFDM symbol time arrives.

11. The electronic apparatus according to claim 7 , before the parsing the task parameter of the current PRACH data merging, further comprising:

configuring the task parameter of the current PRACH data merging.
