Description

Electronic device, wireless communication method, and computer-readable storage medium

Technical Field

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to the field of wireless communications, and in particular, to electronic devices, wireless communication methods, and computer-readable storage media. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an electronic device as a network-side device in a wireless communication system, an electronic device as a user device in a wireless communication system, an electronic device as a data center in a wireless communication system, a wireless communication method performed by a network-side device in a wireless communication system, a wireless communication method performed by a user device in a wireless communication system, a wireless communication method performed by a data center in a wireless communication system, and a computer-readable storage medium.

Background

After a certain function is performed by a network element in a wireless communication system, a lot of useful information is generated, such as cell ID, frequency information, and doppler shift value. However, such information is typically discarded after the network element has performed its function, but in practice they can be reused to make the communication more efficient.

In a wireless communication system including an NTN (Non-terrestrial network), measurement results are easily outdated due to movement of a satellite, communication delay, and the like. Therefore, the parameters acquired by measurement are not significant in a wireless communication system including the NTN. Furthermore, due to the periodicity of the satellite motion, the parameters required for a certain function to be performed by a network element in a wireless communication system comprising an NTN have a strong correlation with the geographical position.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide a technical solution to construct a GID (Geographic Information Database) to record data or parameters generated in the process of performing a certain function by a network element, so as to implement sharing of GID Information to assist other network elements to perform the same or similar function.

<1. description of network Structure >

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a network architecture according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the wireless communication system includes one or more network-side devices, e.g., a gNB (base station in a 5 th generation communication system), each of which provides services for one or more UEs. The wireless communication system according to the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes one or more DCs (Data centers) that can be accessed by a network-side device such as a gNB. Further, an interface may be provided between the DCs to share information between the various DCs.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE, the network side device, and the DC may all generate GID information. Further, the UE, the network side device and the DC may respectively construct GIDs to store the respective generated GID information. In addition, the DCs may store GID information generated by the UE and the network side device, and the stored GID information may be shared among the DCs. In this way, GID information can be shared among network elements, that is, each network element in the entire wireless communication system can acquire GID information stored in other network elements when needed.

The wireless communication system according to the present disclosure may be a 5G (generation 5) or 6G (generation 6) communication system. Preferably, the wireless communication system according to the present disclosure may include an NTN (Non-Terrestrial network) and a TN (Terrestrial network).

A DC according to the present disclosure may be any type of accessible electronic device. For example, the DC may be an electronic device deployed on a core network, including NTN-DC and TN-DC. Thus, the network side device in the NTN can access the NTN-DC, and the network side device in the TN can access the TN-DC.

The network side device according to the present disclosure may be any type of TRP (Transmit and Receive Port), or may be a base station device, such as eNB, or may be a gNB. Further, the network side device may be a base station device of a TN, and may also be a base station device of an NTN. When the network-side device is a base station device of the TN, the network-side device may be located on the ground. When the network-side device is a base station device of the NTN, the network-side device may be located on a satellite device. For example, the satellite devices may include GEO (Geosynchronous Orbit) satellite devices, LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellite devices, MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) satellite devices, HEO (High elliptic Orbit) satellite devices, and HAPS (High Altitude Platform) satellite devices.

In addition, for the base station device in the NTN, it may be a transparent base station device, that is, the base station device only has functions of receiving and sending information, and does not have a capability of data processing, and when the transparent base station device receives the information, the transparent base station device must forward the information to another device (for example, a processing device located on the ground) having a data processing capability to perform data processing. The base station device in the NTN may also be a non-transparent base station device, i.e. having data processing capability.

The user equipment according to the present disclosure may be a mobile terminal such as a smart phone, a tablet Personal Computer (PC), a notebook PC, a portable game terminal, a portable/cryptographic dog-type mobile router, and a digital camera device, or a vehicle-mounted terminal such as a car navigation apparatus. The user equipment may also be implemented as a terminal (also referred to as a Machine Type Communication (MTC) terminal) that performs machine-to-machine (M2M) communication. Further, the user equipment may be a wireless communication module (such as an integrated circuit module including a single chip) mounted on each of the above-described terminals.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a network element in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In fig. 2, three network elements, UE, network side equipment and DC, are shown. Fig. 2 shows two UEs: UE1 and UE 2. Further, fig. 2 illustrates a network element as a network side device by taking a gNB as an example, where the gNB may include a TN-gNB and an NTN-gNB, where the TN-gNB is a base station device located on the ground, and the NTN-gNB may be a base station device located on a satellite device. In addition, the NTN-gNB may further include transparent NTN-gNB and non-transparent NTN-gNB. FIG. 2 also shows DC, including NTN-DC and TN-DC.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, GID information may be interacted between the respective network elements. For example, reference numeral (r) in fig. 2 shows a process of exchanging GID information between UEs, where the UEs can communicate with each other through D2D (Device to Device). Reference numeral 2 shows a procedure in which the UE requests GID information from the non-transparent NTN-gNB. Reference numeral c in fig. 2 shows a procedure in which the UE requests GID information from the transparent NTN-gNB. Reference numeral (r) in fig. 2 shows a procedure in which the non-transparent NTN-gNB requests GID information from the NTN-DC. Reference numeral (c) in fig. 2 shows a procedure in which the UE requests GID information from the TN-gNB. Reference numeral |' in fig. 2 shows a procedure in which the TN-gbb requests GID information from the TN-DC. These processes will be described in detail below.

The present disclosure is intended to propose an electronic device in a wireless communication system, a wireless communication method performed by the electronic device in the wireless communication system, and a computer-readable storage medium based on the above network structure, to construct a GID to record data or parameters generated in the process of performing a certain function by a network element, thereby enabling sharing of GID information to assist other network elements to perform the same or similar functions.

<2. configuration example of electronic apparatus that transmits request information >

The electronic device transmitting the request information for requesting the GID information will be described in detail below. As can be seen from fig. 2, the UE may request GID information from other UEs or network side devices, and the network side device may request GID information from a DC that it can access. Therefore, the electronic device transmitting the request information for requesting the GID information according to the present disclosure may be a UE, or a network side device. Such UE and network side device will be described separately below.

Fig. 3 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a configuration of an electronic device 300 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The electronic device 300 here may be a user device that transmits request information for requesting GID information.

As shown in fig. 3, the electronic device 300 may include a determination unit 310, a storage unit 320, a request generation unit 330, a communication unit 340, and a processing unit 350.

Here, the respective units of the electronic device 300 may be included in the processing circuit. The electronic device 300 may include one processing circuit or may include a plurality of processing circuits. Further, the processing circuitry may include various discrete functional units to perform various different functions and/or operations. It should be noted that these functional units may be physical network elements or logical network elements, and units called differently may be implemented by the same physical network element.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the determining unit 310 may determine whether GID information matching a function to be performed is stored, the GID information including data associated with the function to be performed.

According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the functions to be performed may be communication functions that the electronic device 300 desires to implement in various processes of wireless communication, including but not limited to network access, doppler shift compensation, synchronization signal detection. For example, before the electronic apparatus 300 accesses the network, the determination unit 310 may determine whether GID information matching the function of network access is stored. As another example, before the electronic device 300 performs doppler shift compensation, the determination unit 310 may determine whether GID information matching the doppler spectrum compensation is stored.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the storage unit 320 may be used to store GID information. Here, the GID information includes GID information generated by the electronic device 300 itself, and may also include GID information acquired by the electronic device 300 from another device. For example, the storage unit 320 stores all GID information equivalent to the constructed GID. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the determination unit 310 may determine whether GID information matching a function to be performed is stored in the storage unit 320.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case where the determining unit 310 determines that GID information matching the function to be executed is not stored in the storing unit 320, the request generating unit 330 may generate request information for requesting GID information matching the function to be executed.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 300 may transmit the request information generated by the request generation unit 330 to other devices through the communication unit 340.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the processing unit 350 is configured to perform a function to be performed according to a result of the request. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the result of the request may include whether response information including GID information matching the function to be performed is received from the other device. Further, in case of receiving response information including GID information matching the function to be performed from the other device, the result of the request may further include the received GID information matching the function to be performed.

As described above, the electronic apparatus 300 may request GID information matching a function to be executed from other apparatuses in the case where it is determined that GID information matching a function to be executed is not stored. Here, the GID information includes data generated by other electronic devices in the course of performing such functions. In this way, the electronic device can share GID information with other devices, and thus can perform functions more quickly and efficiently.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the GID information stored in the storage unit 320 includes location information, time information, type information, and data information. Further, the location information includes a location where the GID information is generated, the time information includes a time when the GID information is generated, the type information includes a type of a function for which the GID information is directed, and the data information includes data generated in a process of performing the function.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a composition of GID information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 4, the GID information includes location information and content. Wherein the content includes genre information, time information, and data information. Further, fig. 4 shows an example of N pieces of GID information, each of which may include location information, time information, type information, and data information.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the process of the determining unit 310 determining whether GID information matching a function to be executed is stored in the storage unit 320, the determining unit 310 can determine that such GID information matches the function to be executed only if location information included in the GID information matches the current location of the electronic device 300, time information included in the GID information matches the current time, and type information included in the GID information matches the type of the function to be executed.

For example, assuming that location 1 shown in fig. 4 matches the current location of the electronic device 300, time 1 matches the current time, and type 1 matches the type of the function to be performed, the determining unit 310 may determine that the first piece of GID information in fig. 4 matches the function to be performed by the electronic device 300.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case where the distance between the location where the GID information is generated and the current location of the electronic apparatus 300 is less than the distance threshold, the determining unit 310 may determine that the location information included in the GID information matches the current location of the electronic apparatus 300.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 300 may be provided with a positioning function such as GPS, so that the current location of the electronic device 300 may be determined. Further, the determining unit 310 may determine the location where the piece of GID information is generated according to the location information included in the GID information, thereby determining the distance between the location where the GID information is generated and the current location of the electronic device 300, and determining whether or not it is less than the distance threshold.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the determining unit 310 may determine the distance threshold according to the type of function to be performed. That is, the distance threshold may be set small for functions requiring a relatively high distance accuracy, and large for functions requiring a relatively low distance accuracy. That is, for a function, assuming that the data generated by performing this function at location a and location B are relatively the same, and location a and location B are relatively far apart, it is said that the distance accuracy requirement for the function is relatively low, and the distance threshold for the function can be set to be larger. For another example, if the data generated by executing the function at two positions that are very close to each other are different for another function, it indicates that the distance accuracy requirement of the function is relatively high, and the distance threshold for the function can be set to be smaller.

As can be seen, according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the distance threshold may be determined according to the type of function to be performed, so that GID information may be more accurately matched with the function to be performed. In this way, the electronic apparatus 300 can directly perform a function to be performed using the matched GID information.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the time information included in the GID information may include an operation cycle of a target device to which the GID information is directed, in addition to the time when the GID information is generated. Here, the target device for which the GID information is directed may include a satellite device, so that the time information in the GID information includes an operation cycle of the satellite device.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case where a difference between the time at which the GID information is generated and the current time is an integer multiple of the operation period, the determination unit 310 may determine that the time information included in the GID information matches the current time.

Here, the determining unit 310 may acquire the time at which the GID information is generated and the operation period from the time information included in the GID information, thereby determining whether a difference between the time at which the GID information is generated and the current time is an integer multiple of the operation period.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case where the type of the function for which the GID information is directed is the same as the type of the function to be performed, the determination unit 310 may determine that the type information included in the GID information matches the type of the function to be performed.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the determining unit 310 can determine that the GID information matches the function to be executed if it is determined that the location information matches the current location, the time information matches the current time, and the type information matches the type of the function to be executed in the GID information stored in the storage unit 320. In other words, in the case where the location information, the time information, and the type information all match, it is explained that the presence of the network element at or near the current location before the time T performs the same function as the type of the function to be performed by the electronic apparatus 300. Here, T represents an integer multiple of the operation period, and the network element may be the electronic device 300 itself or an electronic device other than the electronic device 300. In this case, the electronic apparatus 300 may utilize such GID information.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case where the determination unit 310 determines that GID information matching the function to be executed is stored in the storage unit 320, the processing unit 350 may execute the function using data information included in the GID information matching the function to be executed. Here, the data information in the GID information includes data generated in the course of performing the function, and preferably includes useful data generated in the course of performing the function, or data advantageous for performing the function. For example, for the function type of the synchronization signal detection, the data information may include an operation mode of the cell, a CP (Cyclic Prefix) configuration of the cell, and the like; for the functional type of doppler shift compensation, the data information may include a value of the doppler shift.

As described above, according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case where the electronic apparatus 300 stores GID information matched with a function to be performed, the electronic apparatus 300 may directly utilize the matched GID information, thereby omitting some of the preamble steps required to perform the function, and thus performing the function to be performed more quickly and efficiently.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the request information generated by the request generation unit 330 may include a current location of the electronic device 300, a current time, and a type of function to be performed.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic apparatus 300 may receive response information including GID information matched with a function to be performed from other apparatuses through the communication unit 340.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, after acquiring the current location of the electronic apparatus 300, the current time, and the type of the function to be executed by the electronic apparatus 300, the other apparatus may determine whether GID information matching the function to be executed is stored or can be acquired, using a method similar to the determination unit 310. Further, in the case where the other electronic apparatus stores GID information matching the function to be executed by the electronic apparatus 300 or can acquire GID information matching the function to be executed by the electronic apparatus 300, response information may be transmitted to the electronic apparatus 300 to include the GID information.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case where the electronic apparatus 300 acquires GID information matching a function to be executed from other apparatuses, the processing unit 350 may execute the function using data information included in the GID information matching the function to be executed.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case where the electronic apparatus 300 acquires GID information matching a function to be performed from other apparatuses, the electronic apparatus 300 may further store the GID information matching the function to be performed, received from the electronic apparatus, in the storage unit 320. In this way, the GID information stored in the storage unit 320 of the electronic device 300 is more abundant, facilitating later use of the GID information or providing the GID information to other devices.

As described above, according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case where the electronic apparatus 300 can acquire GID information matching a function to be performed from other apparatuses, the electronic apparatus 300 may directly utilize the matched GID information, thereby omitting some of the preliminary steps required to perform the function, and thus performing the function to be performed more quickly and efficiently.

The case where the electronic apparatus 300 stores GID information matching the function to be executed and the case where the electronic apparatus 300 can acquire GID information matching the function to be executed from other apparatuses are described above. There is of course also a case where the electronic apparatus does not store GID information matching the function to be executed and does not acquire GID information matching the function to be executed from other apparatuses. For example, the electronic apparatus 300 may determine that GID information matching a function to be performed cannot be acquired from the apparatus by receiving response information indicating that there is no GID information matching the function to be performed from another apparatus. Alternatively, the electronic apparatus 300 may also set a timer, and in the case where GID information matching the function to be executed is not received from another apparatus after the timer expires, it may be determined that GID information matching the function to be executed cannot be acquired from the apparatus.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 3, the electronic apparatus 300 may further include a GID information generating unit 360 for generating GID information after the processing unit 350 executes the function, in a case where the GID information matching the function to be executed is not stored and the GID information matching the function to be executed is not acquired from the other apparatus.

Here, the GID information generating unit 360 may include the current location of the electronic device 300 as location information in the GID information, the current time in time information in the GID information, and the type of the executed function as type information in the GID information. Further, the GID information generating unit 360 includes data generated in the process of performing the function in data information in the GID information.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the location information in the generated GID information may include a point location in the form of three-dimensional coordinates, and may also include an area location indicating a geographical area. That is, for a function type having a relatively low requirement for position accuracy, the position information can be represented by the region position, thereby simplifying the acquisition process of the position information and reducing the number of bits required for the position information.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the time information in the generated GID information may include, for example, a current time represented by a timestamp based on a uniform time system, such as UTC (universal time), and may further include an operation period of a target device for which the GID information is directed. Here, since the target device may be a satellite device whose motion has a certain periodicity, and the parameters at two points in time that differ by an integer multiple of the operation period are the same or similar, including the operation period in the time information may better match the GID information.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the type of function may be a basic description of an effect aspect of the function, i.e., an effect that the network element can achieve through the function. For example, doppler shift compensation, synchronization signal detection, network access, traffic distribution, frequency usage, etc. may be included. The present disclosure is applicable to each function in a wireless communication process, and thus the type of the function is not limited.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the data information in the generated GID information may include a target device to which the GID information is directed, an attribute of the data information, and a value of the data information. Here, the destination device for which the GID information is directed indicates a destination to which a function performed when the GID information is generated relates. For example, when the function type is doppler shift compensation, the target device for which the GID information generated by the electronic device 300 is intended may be a satellite device in communication with the electronic device 300, i.e., doppler shift compensation is required between the electronic device 300 and the satellite device. Further, the attribute of the data information indicates a parameter to which the data information specifically relates. For example, when the function type is doppler shift compensation, the attribute of the data information may be doppler shift. Further, the value of the data information indicates the value of a parameter to which the data information specifically relates. For example, when the function type is doppler shift compensation, the value of the data information indicates the value of doppler shift.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the processing unit 350 performs the corresponding function, there may be one or more generated data, and therefore, the GID information generating unit 360 may generate one or more pieces of GID information according to the generated data.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the GID information generation unit 360 generates GID information, the generated GID information may be stored in the storage unit 320. In this way, the GID information stored in the storage unit 320 of the electronic device 300 is more abundant, facilitating later use of the GID information or providing the GID information to other devices.

Further, the electronic apparatus 300 may also transmit the generated GID information to a network side apparatus or a DC through the communication unit 340. In this way, GID information generated by the electronic device 300 may be shared throughout the wireless communication system through an interface between different DCs.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 300 may selectively report some GID information, for example, determine whether to report the GID information according to the type of function of the GID information. Optionally, the electronic device 300 may also report all generated GID information to a network side device or a DC. In addition, the electronic device 300 may report one or more pieces of generated GID information periodically, or may trigger reporting of the generated GID information in an event. According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the network-side device may configure the above-mentioned manner of reporting the GID information of the electronic device 300, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

As described above, the electronic device 300 may generate GID information and store and/or report the GID information. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the network side device and the DC may also generate GID information. Here, the GID information generated by the electronic device 300 mainly includes link information of the electronic device 300, such as a doppler shift value, angle information of a beam, satellite ephemeris information, and the like, the GID information generated by the network side device mainly includes information at a cell level, such as service distribution of a user, average delay of a packet, success probability of random access, and the like, and the GID information generated by the DC mainly includes information at a network level, such as frequency usage information of a plurality of network side devices, load condition of a cell, call drop rate of a cell, and the like.

Further, after the network side device generates the GID information, the GID information may be reported to the DC. Similar to the electronic device 300, the network side device may selectively report some GID information, for example, determine whether to report the GID information according to the type of the function of the GID information. Optionally, the network side device may also report all generated GID information to the DC. In addition, the network side device may report one or more pieces of generated GID information periodically, or may trigger reporting of the generated GID information in an event.

Fig. 5 illustrates an example of GID information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 5, the GID information generated by the UE is illustrated by taking doppler shift compensation as an example, where the function type is doppler shift compensation, the target device in the data information includes an ID of a satellite device or a cell ID, the time information includes an operation cycle and a time stamp of the satellite device, the attribute of the data information is doppler shift, and the value of the data information is a specific value of the doppler shift. Fig. 5 illustrates GID information generated by the gNB by taking the traffic distribution of all users served by the gNB as an example, where the function type is the traffic distribution, the target device in the data information includes a satellite ID or a cell ID of the gNB as a satellite device, the time information includes an operation cycle and a timestamp of the satellite device, the attribute of the data information is a traffic state, and the value of the data information is a specific numerical value of the traffic state. Fig. 5 illustrates DC-generated GID information by taking frequency use of a plurality of gnbs as an example, wherein the function type is frequency use, the target device in the data information includes satellite IDs or cell IDs of the plurality of gnbs as satellite devices, the time information includes an operation cycle and a time stamp of the satellite device, the attribute of the data information is frequency, and the value of the data information is a specific numerical value of the frequency.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 300 may request GID information from other user devices around it, that is, the other devices include other user devices around the electronic device 300. In this case, the electronic device 300 may broadcast the transmission request information to other user devices.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 300 may also request the GID information from the network-side device serving the electronic device, that is, other devices include the network-side device providing the service for the electronic device 300.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 3, the electronic device 300 may further include a decision unit 370 for determining other devices to which to send the request information. That is, decision unit 370 may determine to which device or devices to send the request information. For example, the decision unit 370 may determine to send request information to user devices around the electronic device 300. As another example, the decision unit 370 may determine to send the request information to the network-side device serving the electronic device 300.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the decision unit 370 may determine other devices according to the D2D capability of the electronic device 300. For example, in a case where the electronic device 300 is capable of D2D communication, the decision unit 370 may determine that the other devices are user devices around the electronic device 300; in the case where the electronic device 300 is not capable of D2D communication, the decision unit 370 may determine that the other device is a network-side device serving the electronic device 300.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the decision unit 370 may also first determine that the other devices are user devices around the electronic device 300. That is, in the case where the electronic apparatus 300 does not store GID information matching with a function to be executed, request information is transmitted to surrounding user equipments. Since the electronic device 300 communicates with other user devices by means of D2D, the required GID information can be acquired more rapidly. Further, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in a case where the electronic device 300 does not acquire GID information matching a function to be performed from other user devices, the decision unit 370 may determine that the other devices are network-side devices serving the electronic device 300. That is, in a case where the electronic apparatus 300 does not acquire GID information matching with a function to be executed from other user apparatuses, the electronic apparatus 300 may transmit request information to the network-side apparatus. Here, the GID information stored in the GID of the network side device is more comprehensive than that of the user device, and thus the electronic device 300 is more likely to acquire the required GID information.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the decision unit 370 of the electronic device 300 may decide, according to a certain criterion, that the electronic device 300 sends the request information to the user devices around the electronic device 300 and/or the network-side devices serving the electronic device 300, so that the required GID information may be quickly and reliably acquired.

As can be seen, according to the electronic apparatus 300 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case where GID information matching a function to be executed is stored, the matched GID information can be directly utilized, thereby omitting some of the preceding steps required for executing the function and executing the function to be executed more quickly and efficiently. Whereas, in the case where the electronic apparatus 300 determines that GID information matching the function to be performed is not stored, GID information matching the function to be performed may be requested from other apparatuses. Here, the GID information includes data generated by other electronic devices in the course of performing such functions. Thus, the electronic apparatus 300 can share GID information with other apparatuses and can perform functions more quickly and efficiently. In addition, under the condition that the electronic device 300 does not store the required GID information or acquire the required GID information from other devices, the electronic device 300 may generate the GID information and store the GID information and/or report the GID information to the network side device after the corresponding function is executed. In this way, the electronic apparatus 300 stores more abundant GID information, which is convenient for later use or provision of the GID information to other apparatuses. According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 300 may request the required GID information from other user devices around it or a network-side device serving the electronic device 300, and thus may quickly and reliably acquire the required GID information.

An electronic apparatus 600 for transmitting request information for requesting GID information according to the present disclosure will be described below, where the electronic apparatus 600 may be a network-side apparatus in a wireless communication system.

Fig. 6 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a configuration of an electronic device 600 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 6, the electronic device 600 may include a determination unit 610, a storage unit 620, a request generation unit 630, a communication unit 640, and a processing unit 650. Optionally, the electronic device 600 may further include a GID information generating unit 660.

Here, the units of the electronic device 600 may be included in a processing circuit. The electronic device 600 may include one processing circuit or may include a plurality of processing circuits. Further, the processing circuitry may include various discrete functional units to perform various different functions and/or operations. It should be noted that these functional units may be physical network elements or logical network elements, and units called differently may be implemented by the same physical network element.

The determining unit 610, the storage unit 620, the request generating unit 630, the communication unit 640, the processing unit 650, and the GID information generating unit 660 shown in fig. 6 correspond to the determining unit 310, the storage unit 320, the request generating unit 330, the communication unit 340, the processing unit 350, and the GID information generating unit 360 shown in fig. 3, respectively, one to one, and thus the same parts as those in fig. 3 are not described again. Only portions different in function from the electronic apparatus 300 of fig. 3 are described below.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic apparatus 600 may receive GID information generated by the user equipment from the user equipment served by the electronic apparatus 600 through the communication unit 640 and store the received GID information in the storage unit 620. Further, the electronic device 600 may configure a reporting mode of GID information for the served ue, including periodic reporting, event-triggered reporting, and reporting period. Further, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 600 may report the GID information it receives to a DC that the electronic device 600 can access through the communication unit 640. Thus, both the electronic device 600 and the DC can acquire and store GID information generated by the user equipment. In addition, the electronic device 600 may also report the GID information generated by the GID information generating unit 660 to the DC. In this way, GID information is shared among various network elements in the wireless communication system.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case where the electronic apparatus 600 is an electronic apparatus that transmits request information, the other apparatus may be a DC that the electronic apparatus 600 can access. That is, the electronic apparatus 600 may request the DC for the required GID information. Here, when the electronic apparatus 600 is a network-side apparatus in the NTN network, the electronic apparatus 600 may request the required GID information from the DC in the NTN network; when the electronic apparatus 600 is a network-side apparatus in a TN network, the electronic apparatus 600 may request the required GID information from a DC in the TN network.

As can be seen, according to the electronic apparatus 600 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case where GID information matching with a function to be executed is stored, the matched GID information can be directly utilized, thereby omitting some of the preceding steps required for executing the function and executing the function to be executed more quickly and efficiently. Whereas, in the case where the electronic apparatus 600 determines that GID information matching the function to be performed is not stored, GID information matching the function to be performed may be requested from other apparatuses. Thus, the electronic apparatus 600 can share GID information with other apparatuses and can also perform functions more quickly and efficiently. In addition, in a case where the electronic device 600 does not store the required GID information and does not acquire the required GID information from other devices, the electronic device 600 may generate and store the GID information and/or report the GID information to the DC after the corresponding function is performed. In this way, the electronic apparatus 600 stores more abundant GID information, which is convenient for later use or provision of the GID information to other apparatuses. According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic apparatus 600 may request the DC for the required GID information, and thus may quickly and reliably acquire the required GID information.

A flowchart of a process of performing a function based on GID information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to fig. 7 to 11. Fig. 7-9 and 11 are signaling flowcharts illustrating a procedure of performing a function based on GID information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 10 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of performing a function by a UE based on GID information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Fig. 7 is a signaling flow diagram showing a procedure for requesting GID information by a UE to other UEs (neighboring UEs) around it, i.e., corresponding to the procedure shown by reference numeral (r) in fig. 2. In fig. 7, the UE may be implemented by the electronic device 300. As shown in fig. 7, in step S701, the UE determines whether GID information matching a function to be performed is stored. In the case where GID information matching the function to be performed is not stored, the UE transmits request information for requesting GID information to neighboring UEs in step S702. The request information may include, for example, the current location of the UE, the current time, and the type of function to be performed by the UE. Further, the UE may broadcast the request information, so that other UEs within a certain range around the UE can receive the request information. Next, in step S703, the neighboring UE that receives the request information searches for GID information that matches a function to be performed by the UE that transmitted the request information, i.e., determines whether it stores GID information that matches a function to be performed by the UE that transmitted the request information. Next, in step S704, assuming that the neighboring UE stores GID information matching with a function to be performed by the UE transmitting the request information, response information carrying the GID information is transmitted to the UE transmitting the request information. Next, in step S705, the UE performs a function using the received GID information. On the other hand, in the case where the UE determines that GID information matched with the function to be performed is stored in step S701, the UE performs the corresponding function using the stored GID information matched with the function to be performed in step S705. Alternatively, assuming that the UE does not store the required GID information nor acquire the required GID information from the neighboring UE, the UE generates and stores the GID information after performing the function in step S706.

Fig. 8 is a signaling flow diagram illustrating a procedure for requesting GID information from a network side device served by a UE, where the network side device may be a TN-gNB or a non-transparent NTN-gNB, i.e., corresponding to the procedure shown by reference numbers (c) and (c) in fig. 2. In fig. 8, the UE may be implemented by the electronic device 300. As shown in fig. 8, in step S801, the UE determines whether GID information matching a function to be performed is stored. In the case where GID information matching the function to be performed is not stored, the UE transmits request information for requesting the GID information to the network-side device in step S802. The request information may include, for example, the current location of the UE, the current time, and the type of function to be performed by the UE. Next, in step S803, the network-side device searches for GID information that matches the function to be performed by the UE that transmitted the request information, i.e., determines whether it stores GID information that matches the function to be performed by the UE that transmitted the request information. Next, in step S804, assuming that the network side device stores GID information matching with a function to be executed by the UE that transmits the request information, the network side device transmits response information carrying the GID information to the UE that transmits the request information. Next, in step S805, the UE performs a function using the received GID information. On the other hand, in the case where the UE determines that GID information matching the function to be performed is stored in step S801, the UE performs the corresponding function using the stored GID information matching the function to be performed in step S805. Alternatively, assuming that the UE does not store the required GID information, nor acquire the required GID information from the network side device, in step S806, after the UE performs the function, the GID information is generated and stored.

Fig. 9 is a signaling flow diagram illustrating a procedure for requesting GID information by a UE to a network side device serving the UE, where the network side device may be a transparent NTN-gNB, i.e., corresponding to the procedure illustrated by reference numeral (c) in fig. 2. In fig. 9, the UE may be implemented by the electronic device 300. As shown in fig. 9, in step S901, the UE determines whether GID information matching a function to be performed is stored. In the case where GID information matching the function to be performed is not stored, the UE transmits request information for requesting the GID information to the network-side device in step S902. The request information may include, for example, the current location of the UE, the current time, and the type of function to be performed by the UE. Next, in step S903, the network side device forwards request information from the UE to the DC. Here, since the transparent NTN-gNB does not have the capability of data processing, the request information is directly forwarded to the DC, e.g., NTN-DC. Next, in step S904, the NTN-DC searches for GID information matching the function to be performed by the UE transmitting the request information, i.e., determines whether it stores GID information matching the function to be performed by the UE transmitting the request information. Next, in step S905, assuming that the NTN-DC stores GID information matching with a function to be performed by the UE transmitting the request information, response information carrying the GID information is transmitted to the transparent NTN-gNB. Next, in step S906, the transparent NTN-gNB forwards the response information to the UE. Next, in step S907, the UE performs a function using the received GID information. On the other hand, in the case where the UE determines that GID information matching the function to be performed is stored in step S901, the UE performs the corresponding function using the stored GID information matching the function to be performed in step S907. Alternatively, assuming that the UE does not store the required GID information and does not acquire the required GID information from the network side device, in step S908, after the UE performs the function, the GID information is generated and stored.

Fig. 10 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of performing a function by a UE based on GID information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 10 may be a flow chart executed by the electronic device 300. As shown in fig. 10, in step S1001, the UE determines whether GID information matching a function to be performed is stored. In the case where the determination in step S1001 is no, the UE broadcasts transmission request information to neighboring UEs in step S1002. Next, in step S1003, the UE determines whether response information including the required GID information is received from the neighboring UE. If the determination in step S1003 is no, the UE transmits request information to the gNB in step S1004. Next, in step S1005, the UE determines whether response information including GID information is received from the gNB. In case that it is determined as yes in step S1005, the UE performs a corresponding function using the received GID information in step S1008, and then the procedure ends. In case that the determination is no in step S1005, the UE directly performs a corresponding function in step S1006. Next, in step S1007, the UE generates GID information and stores the GID information, and the procedure ends. In the case where the determination of step S1003 is yes, the process proceeds to step S1008. In step S1008, the UE performs a corresponding function using the received GID information, and then the procedure ends. In the case where the determination in step S1001 is yes, the process proceeds to step S1008. In step S1008, the UE performs a corresponding function using the stored GID information, and then the procedure ends.

Fig. 11 is a signaling flowchart showing a procedure of requesting GID information by a network-side device to a DC that it can access. The network side device here may be a TN-gNB, which may request GID information from the TN-DC, i.e., corresponding to the procedure shown by reference number (c) in fig. 2. The network side device may also be a non-transparent NTN-gNB, which may request GID information from the NTN-DC, i.e. corresponding to the procedure shown by reference sign (r) in fig. 2. In fig. 11, the gNB may be implemented by the electronic device 600. As shown in fig. 11, in step S1101, the gNB determines whether GID information matching the function to be executed is stored. In the case where GID information matching the function to be executed is not stored, the gNB transmits request information for requesting the GID information to the DC in step S1102. The request information may include, for example, the current location of the gNB, the current time, and the type of function to be performed by the gNB. Next, in step S1103, the DC that has received the request information searches for GID information that matches the function to be executed by the gNB that has transmitted the request information, i.e., determines whether it stores GID information that matches the function to be executed by the gNB that has transmitted the request information. Next, in step S1104, assuming that the DC stores GID information matching the function to be performed by the gNB that transmitted the request information, response information carrying the GID information is transmitted to the gNB that transmitted the request information. Next, in step S1105, the gNB performs a function using the received GID information. On the other hand, in the case where the gNB determines in step S1101 that GID information matching the function to be executed is stored, in step S1105, the gNB executes the corresponding function using the stored GID information matching the function to be executed. Alternatively, assuming that the gNB does not store the required GID information nor acquire the required GID information from the DC, the gNB generates and stores the GID information after performing the function in step S1106.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the main body performing the above method may be the electronic device 1200, the electronic device 1300, or the electronic device 1400 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and thus all the embodiments regarding the electronic device 1200, the electronic device 1300, or the electronic device 1400 in the foregoing are applicable thereto.

<5. application example >

The embodiments of the present disclosure may be used in various communication procedures (or functions) in a wireless communication system, and particularly may be used for a function in which information required for performing the function is highly associated with a geographical location. For example, for an NTN network, since the motion of the satellite device is periodic, the parameters required to perform a particular function at the same or close geographic location are the same, with time being able to match. In addition, the embodiment of the present disclosure may also be used in a millimeter wave communication system of a TN network because information required to perform a function in the millimeter wave communication system is also strongly associated with a geographical location.

For example, for a function of type Synchronization Signal detection, in the process of performing this function, the user equipment may attempt to decode SSS (Secondary Synchronization Signal) at multiple (e.g., 4) time-frequency positions with multiple (e.g., 168) offset combinations of m-sequences (m-sequences) until the SSS is successfully decoded. Next, the ue may determine a working mode (TDD or FDD) and a CP configuration (normal CP or extended CP) of the cell according to a time-frequency location of the SSS, and may obtain an identifier N of the cell group according to an offset combination of m sequences of the SSS_ID ⁽¹⁾Thus, can be based on the identity N of the cell group_ID ⁽¹⁾And an intra-group identification N_ID ⁽²⁾The PCI (Physical Cell Identifier) of the Cell is determined. According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the ue performs the above-mentioned function, the location information may be the location of the location information generated by the ue, the time information includes the time of the ue generating the GID information, the type information is the sync signal detection, and the data information includes the attribute "working mode" and the attribute "working mode" in phaseA corresponding value, an attribute "CP configuration", a value corresponding to the attribute "CP configuration", an attribute "cell group identity", a value corresponding to the attribute "cell group identity", and the like. Thus, when the ue or other ues also want to perform the synchronization signal detection function in the same or similar location, such GID information can be obtained, so that the time-frequency position of the SSS can be directly determined according to the value corresponding to the attribute "operating mode" and the value corresponding to the attribute "CP configuration" in the GID information, and the offset combination of the m-sequence can be directly determined according to the value corresponding to the attribute "cell group identity" in the GID information. Therefore, the process of trying to decode the SSS by adopting the offset combination of various m sequences at a plurality of time-frequency positions is omitted, the blind detection time is greatly reduced, and the synchronization process is accelerated.

For another example, for a function whose type is network access, in the process of performing the above function, the user equipment may determine beam angle information of the base station device (for example, horizontal direction and vertical direction information of a beam of the base station device are included) through a measurement report or scheduling information. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the ue performs the above-mentioned function, the location information may be a location where the location information is generated for the ue, the time information includes a time when the ue generates the GID information, the type information is network access, and the data information may include an attribute "beam angle" and a value corresponding to the attribute "beam angle". Therefore, when the user equipment or other user equipment also wants to access the network in the same or similar place, the GID information can be acquired, so that the beam angle information of the network side equipment can be directly determined according to the value corresponding to the attribute 'beam angle' in the GID information, the measuring or scheduling process is omitted, the network access time is greatly reduced, and the communication connection with the network side equipment is quickly established.

For another example, for a function of doppler shift type, the user equipment needs to perform a large number of frequency scans to determine the frequency point and doppler shift value of the satellite device during the execution of the above function, so as to access the satellite device. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the ue performs the above-mentioned function, the location information may be a location where the location information is generated for the ue, the time information includes a time when the ue generates the GID information, the type information is a doppler shift, and the data information may include an attribute "doppler shift" and a value corresponding to the attribute "doppler shift". Therefore, when the user equipment or other user equipment also wants to access the satellite equipment in the same or close places, the GID information can be obtained, so that the Doppler frequency shift value of the satellite equipment can be directly determined according to the value corresponding to the attribute Doppler frequency shift in the GID information, the frequency scanning process is omitted, the network access time is greatly reduced, and the communication connection with the satellite equipment is quickly established.

Another application according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below in conjunction with fig. 17. Fig. 17 is a schematic diagram illustrating a scenario of avoiding frequency interference using GID information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 17, the TN network includes TN-gNB1 and TN-gNB2 and UEs (only one UE is shown in fig. 17 for convenience of illustration), the NTN network includes NTN-gNB2 and NTN-gNB3, and all gnbs can access the data center. Assuming that the NTN-gNB1 is a new satellite device, its presence may cause interference with existing satellite devices (NTN-gNB2 and NTN-gNB3) in its vicinity. Thus, to avoid potential interference, the NTN-gNB1 needs to know the frequency usage of its nearby space. In the conventional scheme, the NTN-gNB1 may obtain the frequency usage by measuring or exchanging information with a nearby gNB, but since there may be a large number of NTN-gnbs and TN-gnbs around the NTN-gNB1 in a three-dimensional space, a large number of measurement and information interaction procedures need to be performed to be able to obtain the frequency usage of all the surrounding gnbs.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the NTN-gNB1 may request GID information from the data center, where the type information is frequency usage, whereby frequency usage of all of its surrounding gnbs may be easily obtained, which saves a lot of time and resources. The NTN-gNB1 may then select a different spectrum or frequency plan with the nearby gNB to eliminate interference.

The application examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure are described above, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the GID may be constructed to record data or parameters generated in the process of performing a certain function by the network element, thereby implementing sharing of GID information to assist other network elements to perform the same or similar function.

The techniques of this disclosure can be applied to a variety of products.

The network side device may be implemented as any type of TRP. The TRP may have a transmitting and receiving function, and may receive information from or transmit information to, for example, a user equipment and a base station apparatus. In a typical example, the TRP may provide a service to the user equipment and be controlled by the base station apparatus. Further, the TRP may have a structure similar to that of the base station device described below, or may have only a structure related to transmission and reception of information in the base station device.

The network side device may also be implemented as any type of base station device, such as a macro eNB and a small eNB, and may also be implemented as any type of gNB (base station in a 5G system). The small eNB may be an eNB that covers a cell smaller than a macro cell, such as a pico eNB, a micro eNB, and a home (femto) eNB. Alternatively, the base station may be implemented as any other type of base station, such as a NodeB and a Base Transceiver Station (BTS). The base station may include: a main body (also referred to as a base station apparatus) configured to control wireless communication; and one or more Remote Radio Heads (RRHs) disposed at a different place from the main body.

The user equipment may be implemented as a mobile terminal such as a smart phone, a tablet Personal Computer (PC), a notebook PC, a portable game terminal, a portable/cryptographic dog-type mobile router, and a digital camera, or a vehicle-mounted terminal such as a car navigation apparatus. The user equipment may also be implemented as a terminal (also referred to as a Machine Type Communication (MTC) terminal) that performs machine-to-machine (M2M) communication. Further, the user equipment may be a wireless communication module (such as an integrated circuit module including a single die) mounted on each of the user equipments described above.

The eNB 1800 includes one or more antennas 1810 and base station equipment 1820. The base station device 1820 and each antenna 1810 may be connected to each other via an RF cable.

Each of the antennas 1810 includes a single or multiple antenna elements, such as multiple antenna elements included in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna, and is used for the base station apparatus 1820 to transmit and receive wireless signals. As shown in fig. 18, the eNB 1800 may include multiple antennas 1810. For example, the multiple antennas 1810 may be compatible with multiple frequency bands used by the eNB 1800. Although fig. 18 shows an example in which the eNB 1800 includes multiple antennas 1810, the eNB 1800 may also include a single antenna 1810.

The base station device 1820 includes a controller 1821, memory 1822, a network interface 1823, and a wireless communication interface 1825.

The controller 1821 may be, for example, a CPU or a DSP, and operates various functions of higher layers of the base station apparatus 1820. For example, the controller 1821 generates data packets from data in signals processed by the wireless communication interface 1825 and communicates the generated packets via the network interface 1823. The controller 1821 may bundle data from the plurality of baseband processors to generate a bundle packet, and communicate the generated bundle packet.

The control may be performed in connection with a nearby eNB or core network node. The memory 1822 includes a RAM and a ROM, and stores programs executed by the controller 1821 and various types of control data (such as a terminal list, transmission power data, and scheduling data).

The network interface 1823 is a communication interface for connecting the base station apparatus 1820 to the core network 1824. The controller 1821 may communicate with a core network node or another eNB via a network interface 1823. In this case, the eNB 1800 and a core network node or other enbs may be connected to each other through a logical interface, such as an S1 interface and an X2 interface. The network interface 1823 may also be a wired communication interface or a wireless communication interface for a wireless backhaul. If network interface 1823 is a wireless communication interface, network interface 1823 may use a higher frequency band for wireless communications than the frequency band used by wireless communication interface 1825.

The wireless communication interface 1825 supports any cellular communication scheme, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-advanced, and provides wireless connectivity via an antenna 1810 to terminals located in the cell of the eNB 1800. The wireless communication interface 1825 may generally include, for example, a baseband (BB) processor 1826 and RF circuitry 1827. The BB processor 1826 may perform various types of signal processing of layers such as L1, Medium Access Control (MAC), Radio Link Control (RLC), and Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP), for example, encoding/decoding, modulation/demodulation, and multiplexing/demultiplexing. The BB processor 1826 may have a part or all of the above-described logic functions in place of the controller 1821. The BB processor 1826 may be a memory storing a communication control program, or a module comprising a processor and associated circuitry configured to execute a program. The update program may cause the function of the BB processor 1826 to change. The module may be a card or blade that is inserted into a slot of the base station device 1820. Alternatively, the module may be a chip mounted on a card or blade. Meanwhile, the RF circuit 1827 may include, for example, a mixer, a filter, and an amplifier, and transmit and receive a wireless signal via the antenna 1810.

As shown in fig. 18, wireless communication interface 1825 may include a plurality of BB processors 1826. For example, the plurality of BB processors 1826 may be compatible with a plurality of frequency bands used by the eNB 1800. As shown in fig. 18, wireless communication interface 1825 may include a plurality of RF circuits 1827. For example, the plurality of RF circuits 1827 may be compatible with a plurality of antenna elements. Although fig. 18 shows an example in which the wireless communication interface 1825 includes a plurality of BB processors 1826 and a plurality of RF circuits 1827, the wireless communication interface 1825 may also include a single BB processor 1826 or a single RF circuit 1827.
