Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

In low-rise, underground shopping malls and underground parking lots of large buildings, mobile signals are weak, communication blind areas are easily formed, and mobile equipment cannot be normally used. Therefore, it becomes important to improve signal coverage using the room-division autonomous communication technology.

The indoor distribution autonomous communication system adopting the indoor distribution autonomous communication technology may be the 5th generation mobile communication technology (5G) indoor distribution system modified based on the passive indoor distribution system, and the indoor distribution autonomous communication system includes a near-end device and a far-end device. The near-end device is close to the network side and connected with a Radio Remote Unit (RRU) of the network device; the near-end equipment is close to the user side and is connected with the mobile equipment (also called as terminal equipment); the near-end device and the far-end device are connected by a cable, and the near-end device and the far-end device can communicate with each other through a global system for mobile communications (GSM), a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), a time-division multiple access (TD-SCDMA), a Long Term Evolution (LTE), and a fifth generation mobile communication technology (5th networking mobile communication, 5G). It should be noted that the frequency point used for the near-end device and the far-end device to communicate with each other is different from the frequency point of the RRU.

In a room-based autonomous communication system, a single tone signal may be used to communicate between a near-end device and a far-end device. A single tone signal is a pure sinusoidal signal of a single frequency. In a room-based autonomous communication system, a near-end device communicates with a far-end device by: the near-end equipment adopts the AGC to ensure that the RSSI of the received signal from the far-end equipment is in a proper range, and the receiving power of the signal is in the receiving power range supported by the near-end equipment, so that the near-end equipment can successfully demodulate the signal.

Next, a room division autonomous communication system to which the embodiment of the present application is applicable is described, where the room division autonomous communication system may include 1 near-end device and 1 far-end device; alternatively, a room-based autonomous communication system may include 1 near-end device and a plurality of far-end devices. In a room-based autonomous communication system, the near-end device and the far-end device may communicate time-shared. Time-sharing communication refers to determining which device can transmit signals at the current time by dividing the near-end communication opportunity and the far-end communication opportunity. The near-end device sends signals at near-end communication opportunity, and the far-end device sends signals at far-end communication opportunity. When the indoor autonomous communication system includes 1 near-end device and 1 far-end device, a schematic view of a scenario in which the near-end device and the far-end device transmit signals according to respective communication timings may be as shown in fig. 1 a. In fig. 1a, black squares represent near-end communication opportunities and white squares represent far-end communication opportunities. As can be seen from fig. 1a, the near-end device and the far-end device both have a plurality of communication occasions, and the communication occasions of the near-end device and the far-end device are set at intervals. Here, the period T1 represents an interval duration between two adjacent near-end communication opportunities (i.e., a period of the near-end communication opportunities), and the period T2 represents an interval duration between two adjacent far-end communication opportunities (i.e., a period of the far-end communication opportunities). The near-end device transmits signals at near-end communication opportunities as indicated by the black squares, and the far-end device transmits signals at far-end communication opportunities as indicated by the white squares.

The period of the near-end communication timing may be the same as or different from the period of the far-end communication timing.

The indoor autonomous communication system can further comprise 1 near-end device and N far-end devices, wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 2. A scene diagram of the near-end device and the far-end device sending signals according to respective communication timings may be as shown in fig. 1 b. In fig. 1b, taking N as an example, in fig. 1b, black squares represent near-end communication timings, white squares 1 represent communication timings of the far-end device 1 (for example, referred to as far-end communication timing 1), and white squares 2 represent communication timings of the far-end device 2 (for example, referred to as far-end communication timing 2). Similar to fig. 1a, in fig. 1b, the near-end device and the far-end device each have a plurality of communication opportunities, and the communication opportunities of the near-end device and the far-end device are set at intervals. Here, the period T3 represents an interval duration between two adjacent near-end communication occasions (i.e., a period of the near-end communication occasion), the period T4 represents an interval duration between two adjacent far-end communication occasions 1 (i.e., a period of the far-end communication occasion 1), and the period T5 represents an interval duration between two adjacent far-end communication occasions 2 (i.e., a period of the far-end communication occasion 2). The near-end device transmits signals at near-end communication opportunities as indicated by black squares, the far-end device 1 transmits signals at far-end communication opportunities 1 as indicated by white squares 1, and the far-end device 2 transmits signals at far-end communication opportunities 2 as indicated by white squares 2.

The period of the near-end communication timing may be the same as or different from the period of the far-end communication timing. The period of the remote communication opportunity 1 and the period of the remote communication opportunity 2 may be the same or different.

It should be noted that the time durations of different near-end communication occasions (in fig. 1a, the length of the black square on the t-axis represents the time duration of the near-end communication occasion) may be the same or different; the duration of the different far-end communication occasions (in fig. 1a, the length of the white square on the t-axis represents the duration of the near-end communication occasion) may be the same or different. The time length of the near-end communication opportunity and the time length of the far-end communication opportunity can be the same or different. Fig. 1a and fig. 1b take the same time length of each near-end communication opportunity as that of each far-end communication opportunity as an example, and do not constitute a limitation to the embodiment of the present application.

It will be appreciated that within the near-end communication session, the near-end device may transmit a signal and, correspondingly, the far-end device may receive the signal. In the far-end communication time machine, the far-end device can send signals, and correspondingly, the near-end device receives the signals.

Based on the above description, the present application embodiment proposes a communication method, which may be performed by the above-mentioned near-end device. The method mainly describes a scheme that the far-end equipment controls the transmission power of the first signal according to the first power control information, and the scheme is favorable for enabling the receiving power of the first signal to be within the receiving power range supported by the near-end equipment. Referring to fig. 2, the communication method may include steps S201 to S202:

s201, the near-end equipment sends first power control information to the far-end equipment; the first power control information includes a transmission power and a first reception power of the first power control information; the first received power is within a range of received powers supported by the near-end device.

The first received power may also be referred to as a desired received power. The near-end device sends the first receiving power to the far-end device, so that the receiving power of the far-end device reaching the near-end device according to the first signal sent by the first receiving power is favorably smaller than a preset value. Wherein, the difference value between the received power of the first signal reaching the near-end equipment and the first received power is smaller than a preset value, which indicates that: the received power of the first signal arriving at the near-end device is about the same as the first received power. The preset value may be set by default by the near-end device, or indicated by the network, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

The range of received power supported by the near-end device refers to: a power range between an upper detection threshold limit supported by the near-end device and a lower detection threshold limit supported by the near-end device. Since the first received power is within the received power range supported by the near-end device, and the received power of the first signal reaching the near-end device is similar to the first received power, the probability that the received power of the first signal reaching the near-end device is within the received power range supported by the near-end device is high. Thereby advantageously ensuring that the near-end device can successfully demodulate the first signal.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the near-end device transmits the first received power to the far-end device, so that the near-end device can successfully receive and demodulate the signal from the far-end device without using AGC to dynamically adjust the capability of its receiver to receive the signal. In other words, in the embodiments of the present application, the near-end device may employ a static AGC. Further, when the indoor autonomous communication system dynamically allocates a communication opportunity, the near-end device may also successfully receive and demodulate the signal from the far-end device directly using the static AGC. Wherein the AGC is to amplify the received power of the signal with an adjustment gain. Static AGC refers to the adjustment gain of AGC as a fixed value.

Optionally, the first power control information includes a transmission power and a first reception power of the first power control information. The transmission power of the first power control information, which is transmitted by the near-end device to the far-end device for the first time, may be set by default by the near-end device, or may be indicated by a cell (e.g., a target cell) in which the near-end device resides. For example, the near-end device may receive a system message sent by the target cell to obtain the transmission power of the first power control information from the system message. Wherein the target cell may further indicate the first received power. For example, the first received power may be carried in a system message transmitted by the target cell.

And the transmission power of the first power control information is less than or equal to the maximum value in the transmission power range corresponding to the near-end equipment. In one embodiment, if the transmission power of the first power control information is equal to the maximum value in the transmission power range corresponding to the near-end device, the near-end device transmits the communication message at the transmission power of the first power control information (i.e., the maximum value in the transmission power range corresponding to the near-end device) in the subsequent near-end communication session. The communication message may include, without limitation, a control message and/or a data message.

S202, receiving a first signal from a far-end device by a near-end device; the transmission power of the first signal is determined by a path loss between the near-end device and the far-end device, which is determined by the reception power of the first power control information and the transmission power of the first power control information, and the first reception power.

The near-end device sends the first power control information to the far-end device, and correspondingly, after receiving the first power control information, the far-end device may send a first signal to the near-end device according to the first power control information.

Wherein the transmission power of the first signal is determined by the transmission power of the first power control information, the reception power of the first power control information, and the first reception power. Specifically, the near-end device may perform a difference operation on the transmission power of the first power control information and the reception power of the first power control information to obtain a power difference (that is, a path loss between the near-end device and the far-end device), and then perform a summation operation on the path loss and the first reception power to obtain the transmission power of the first signal. The transmission power of the first signal may be calculated by the following expression:

P₁ ¹＝[(P₁'-P₁)+P₀]

wherein, P₁ ¹Representing the transmission power, P, of the first signal₁' Transmission Power, P, representing first Power control information₁Indicating the received power of the first power control information, P₀Indicating the first received power.

Optionally, when the indoor autonomous communication system includes 1 near-end device and multiple far-end devices, path losses between different far-end devices and near-end devices may be the same or different, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In one embodiment, if the received power of the first signal is within the range of the received power supported by the near-end device, the near-end device may transmit the communication message at the transmission power of the first power control information in the subsequent near-end communication session. If the received power of the first signal is outside the range of the received power supported by the near-end device, the near-end device may adjust its transmit power in subsequent near-end communication sessions. Note that, adjusting the transmission power of the near-end device refers to: and adjusting the power of the signals transmitted by the near-end equipment.

Due to the complexity of the environment, the path loss calculated by the far-end device according to the transmission power of the first power control information and the reception power of the first power control information may be inaccurate, so that the reception power of the first signal from the far-end device received by the near-end device is outside the reception power range supported by the near-end device, and in this case, the near-end device cannot successfully demodulate the first signal transmitted by the far-end device. When the number of the remote devices is N, the reception power of the first signal transmitted by each of a part of the N remote devices may be outside the reception power range supported by the near-end device, or the reception power of the first signal transmitted by each of the N remote devices may be outside the reception power range supported by the near-end device.

In view of this, an embodiment of the present application further provides a communication method, please refer to fig. 3, where the communication method includes steps S301 to S304:

s301, the near-end device sends the first power control information to the far-end device 1 and the far-end device 2, respectively.

Wherein the first power control information includes a transmission power and a first reception power of the first power control information; the first received power is within a range of received powers supported by the near-end device. The related content of the first power control information may refer to the description of the corresponding embodiment in fig. 2, and is not repeated here.

Alternatively, the near-end device may transmit the first power control information in a broadcast manner.

Optionally, the near-end device has multiple communication occasions, and the near-end device may send the first power control information to the far-end device at certain specific communication occasions. For example, in the scenario that the near-end device and the far-end device shown in fig. 1b transmit signals according to respective communication occasions, the near-end device may transmit the first power control information to the far-end device 1 at a near-end communication occasion adjacent to the far-end communication occasion 1, and may transmit the first power control information to the far-end device 2 at a near-end communication occasion adjacent to the far-end communication occasion 2.

It should be noted that, the embodiment shown in fig. 3 is described by taking N remote devices as an example, including the remote device 1 and the remote device 2, and does not limit the present application.

S302, the far-end equipment 1 sends a first signal 1 to the near-end equipment; the far-end device 2 sends a first signal 2 to the near-end device.

The transmission power of the first signal 1 is determined by the path loss between the near-end device and the far-end device 1, and the first reception power; the path loss between the near-end device and the far-end device 1 is determined by the reception power of the first power control information received by the far-end device 1 and the transmission power of the first power control information.

The transmission power of the first signal 2 is determined by the path loss between the near-end device and the far-end device 2, and the first reception power; the path loss between the near-end device and the far-end device 2 is determined by the reception power of the first power control information received by the far-end device 2 and the transmission power of the first power control information.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the execution sequence of the far-end device 1 sending the first signal 1 to the near-end device and the far-end device 2 sending the first signal 2 to the near-end device is not limited. Optionally, the step of sending the first signal 1 to the near-end device by the far-end device 1 may be executed first, the step of sending the first signal 2 to the near-end device by the far-end device 2 may be executed first, or the step of sending the first signal 1 to the near-end device by the far-end device 1 and the step of sending the first signal 2 to the near-end device by the far-end device 2 may be executed simultaneously.

It should be understood that the first signal of the far-end device may not be received by the near-end device, and may also be received by the near-end device. When the near-end device receives the first signal, the received power of the first signal may be outside the received power range supported by the near-end device or may be within the received power range supported by the near-end device. Illustratively, in fig. 3, a first signal 1 is received by the near-end device, and the first signal 1 is within the receiving power range supported by the near-end device. The first signal 2 may not be received by the near end device or the received power is outside the range of received power supported by the near end device.

S303, the near-end device broadcasts a notification message, where the notification message is used to instruct the far-end device 2 to increase the transmission power of the far-end device 2.

In one embodiment, a remote device corresponds to a remote device identification. The notification message broadcast by the near-end device carries the far-end device identifier. After the far-end device receives the notification message from the near-end device, each far-end device respectively matches the respective identifier with the far-end device identifier carried in the notification message in a hit manner, and if the matching is successful, the transmission power can be increased by using the notification message. If the matching fails, the transmission power is kept unchanged.

In the example shown in fig. 3, the remote device 1 corresponds to the identity 1, and the remote device 2 corresponds to the identity 2. The notification message broadcast by the near-end device may carry the identity 2. After the remote device receives the notification message, the remote device 1 matches the identifier 2 carried in the notification message with the identifier 1 of the remote device, the matching fails, and the transmission power is kept unchanged. After the remote device receives the notification message, the remote device 2 matches the identifier 2 carried in the notification message with the identifier 2 of the remote device, and if the matching is successful, the transmission power can be increased by using the notification message.

In another embodiment, the near-end device may directly send the notification message to the target far-end device at a near-end communication opportunity corresponding to the target far-end device, where the target far-end device refers to a far-end device that sends the first signal that is not received by the near-end device or whose receiving power is outside a receiving power range supported by the near-end device. In the example of fig. 3. The far-end device 2 is a target far-end, and the near-end device may send a notification message to the far-end device 2 at a near-end communication opportunity corresponding to the far-end device 2. For example, as shown in fig. 1b, if the first signal 2 transmitted by the far-end device 2 in the far-end communication opportunity 101 is not received by the near-end device, or the received power is outside the range of the received power supported by the near-end device, the near-end device may transmit a notification message to the far-end device 2 in the near-end communication opportunity 102, so that the far-end device 2 may use the notification message to raise the transmission power.

S304, the remote device 2 increases the transmission power according to the notification message.

Optionally, the notification message may include power adjustment information, and at this time, the notification message is specifically used to instruct the remote device 2 to increase the transmission power of the remote device 2 according to the power adjustment information, and send the first signal 2', where the transmission power of the first signal 2' is greater than the transmission power of the first signal 2.

In one embodiment, the power adjustment information includes a power increase value, and specifically, the transmission power of the first signal 2' can be obtained by the following expression:

P₂ ¹＝[(P₁'-P₁)+P₀]+ΔP

wherein, P₂ ¹Representing the transmission power, P, of the first signal 2₁' Transmission of first Power control informationPower supply, P₁Indicating the received power of the first power control information, P₀Representing a first received power, ap representing a power boost value, ap being greater than 0.

In another embodiment, the power adjustment information may further include a power increasing factor, and specifically, the transmission power of the first signal 2' may be obtained by the following expression:

P₂ ¹＝[(P₁'-P₁)+P₀]×(1+ΔP')

where Δ P 'represents a power increase coefficient, and Δ P' is greater than 0.

In one embodiment, after the far-end device 2 receives the communication message, the transmission power of the first signal 2 may be increased according to the notification message to obtain the transmission power of the first signal 2', and if the first signal 2' may not be received by the near-end device, or the reception power of the second signal 2' may be out of the reception power range supported by the near-end device, in this case, the near-end device may continue to transmit the notification message to the far-end device 2 to instruct the far-end device 2 to continue to increase the transmission power. Until the receiving power of the signal transmitted by the far-end device 2 to the near-end device is within the receiving power range supported by the near-end device, or until the transmitting power of the first signal transmitted by the far-end device 2 to the near-end device reaches the maximum value in the transmitting power range supported by the far-end device 2.

In other words, the step of issuing the notification message by the near-end device, and increasing the transmission power of the far-end device 2 by the far-end device 2 according to the notification message, may be performed repeatedly for a plurality of times until the reception power of the first signal received by the near-end device from the far-end device 2 is within the reception power range supported by the near-end device, or until the transmission power of the first signal transmitted to the near-end device by the far-end device reaches the maximum value in the transmission power range supported by the far-end device 2. The near-end device may issue a notification message via a Transmit Power Control (TPC) command.

Optionally, in the subsequent remote communication time, the remote device 2 transmits the subsequent communication message with the transmission power adopted at the end of the iteration step.

Optionally, when the communication message carries the power adjustment information, for the remote device 2, the power adjustment information (including the power increase value or the power increase coefficient) included in the notification message received by the remote device 2 for multiple times may be the same or different. Specifically, the notification message sent by the near-end device for the first time includes power adjustment information 1, and the notification message sent by the near-end device for each time except for the first time includes power adjustment information 2, where a power increase value in the power adjustment information 1 is greater than a power increase value in the power adjustment information 2, or a power increase coefficient in the power adjustment information 1 is greater than a power increase coefficient in the power adjustment information 2. That is, the remote device 2 first increases the transmission power by a large power increase value or power increase factor, and then fine-tunes the transmission power by a small power increase value or power increase factor.

According to the embodiment of the application, when the first signal sent to the near-end device by the far-end device is not received by the near-end device or the receiving power of the first signal is out of the receiving power range supported by the near-end device, the far-end device adjusts the sending power of the first signal according to the notification message, so that the receiving power of the adjusted first signal reaching the near-end device is in the receiving power range supported by the near-end device. The near-end device does not need to employ AGC to dynamically adjust its receiver's ability to receive signals, and can successfully receive and demodulate signals from the far-end device directly using static AGC. The overhead of the near-end equipment adopting the static AGC is small, the overhead change of the near-end equipment is not large along with the increase of the number of the far-end equipment, and the reliability of the indoor autonomous communication system can be improved. In addition, the far-end device adjusts the transmission power of the first signal according to the notification message to promote that the receiving power of the first signal reaching the near-end device is within the receiving power range supported by the near-end device, so that the receiving scheme of the near-end device is simplified, and the stability of the indoor autonomous communication system can be improved.

When the number of the remote devices is N, some (or all) of the N remote devices may not receive the first power control information sent by the near-end device, thereby causing that the some (or all) of the remote devices do not send the first signal to the near-end device, or the first signal reaches the near-end device with a receiving power outside the receiving power range supported by the near-end device, in this case, the near-end device may not successfully demodulate the signal sent by the some (or all) of the remote devices.

In view of this, an embodiment of the present application further provides a communication method, please refer to fig. 4, where the communication method includes S401 to S403:

s401, the near-end equipment respectively sends first power control information to N far-end equipment; the first power control information includes a transmission power and a first reception power of the first power control information; the first received power is within a range of received powers supported by the near-end device.

Optionally, after the near-end device sends the first power control information to the N far-end devices, the N far-end devices may all receive the first power control information from the near-end device, and send the first signal to the near-end device according to the first power control information. Where one remote device transmits one first signal, then N remote devices transmit N first signals.

S402, the near-end equipment receives a first signal from the far-end equipment in a preset time period; a first signal is transmitted by a remote device.

In one embodiment, the preset time period includes a near-end communication opportunities and b far-end communication opportunities, where a and b are integers greater than or equal to 1. Optionally, a ═ b. Optionally, the duration of the preset time period may be related to the number of the far-end devices, the period of the near-end communication opportunity, and the period of the far-end communication opportunity. For convenience of description, if the period of all the near-end communication occasions is equal to the period of all the far-end communication occasions and is T, the duration of the preset time period may be calculated by the following expression:

the duration of the preset time period is N (the period of the near-end communication opportunity + the period of the near-end communication opportunity) N × 2T

Wherein, N represents the number of the far-end devices, and the period of the near-end communication opportunity are both T.

If N is 2, and the periods of the near-end communication opportunity and the far-end communication opportunity are both T, the duration of the preset time period may be illustrated in fig. 5.

In one embodiment, after the near-end device sends the first power control information to the N far-end devices, the N far-end devices all receive the first power control information sent by the near-end device, and send the first signal to the near-end device according to the first power control information. That is, the N remote devices respectively transmit one first message, and the N remote devices transmit N first signals in total. Optionally, all of the N first signals may be received by the near-end device, or a part of the N first signals may be received by the near-end device. In case that only a part of the N first signals are received by the near-end device (i.e. the number of the first signals is less than N), the near-end device may be triggered to send the second power control information to the N far-end devices, respectively.

In one embodiment, after the near-end device sends the first power control information to the N far-end devices, respectively, some (or all) of the N far-end devices may not receive the first power control information sent by the near-end device. In this case, the number of the first signals is also smaller than N, and the step of the near-end device sending the second power control information to the N far-end devices respectively may also be triggered.

S403, if the N first signals received by the near-end device within the preset time period do not satisfy the preset condition, the near-end device sends second power control information to the N far-end devices, respectively.

In one embodiment, the N first signals received by the near-end device within the preset time period do not satisfy the preset condition, which means that at least one of the N first signals is outside the received power range supported by the near-end device.

In a specific implementation process, a preset time period sum (which may also be referred to as a monitoring timer time length) is set in the near-end device, and one preset time period sum includes one or more preset time periods.

When the sum of a preset time period includes a preset time period, the near-end device judges whether the received first signal meets a preset condition in each preset time period, and if the first signal does not meet the preset condition (including that the receiving power of at least one first signal in the N first signals is out of the receiving power range supported by the near-end device, or the number of the received first signals is less than N), the near-end device sends second power control information in the next preset time period.

As shown in fig. 6, if N is 2, 2 remote devices are included, and a predetermined time period sum includes a predetermined time period. Optionally, the near-end device is in the preset time period k₁Sending first power control information internally, sending a first signal by the remote equipment according to the first power control information, and sending the first signal in a preset time period k₁The first signal does not satisfy the preset condition, and the near-end device will be in the next preset time period (preset time period k)₂) And transmitting second power control information, wherein the transmission power of the second power control information is greater than that of the first power control information.

When a preset time period sum comprises a plurality of preset time periods, the near-end device sends first power control information in a first preset time period in the preset time period sum, judges whether the received first signal meets a preset condition in a last preset time period in the preset time period sum, and if the first signal does not meet the preset condition (the receiving power of at least one first signal in the N first signals is out of the receiving power range supported by the near-end device, or the number of the received first signals is less than N), the near-end device sends second power control information in the first preset time period in the next preset time period sum.

The preset time period sum includes 2 preset time periods, N is 2, as shown in fig. 7, and the preset time period sum S₁Including a predetermined time period k₃And a preset time period k₄Sum of predetermined time periods S₂Including a predetermined time period k₅And a preset time period k₆. The near-end equipment is in a preset time period k₃Sending first power control information to 2 remote devices inwards, and keeping the first power control information at a preset time period k₄Internally judging whether the first signal satisfies the conditionIf the condition is not met, the preset time period k is set₅And sending the second power control information to the 2 remote devices.

The near-end device may specifically obtain the transmission power of the second power control information according to the transmission power of the first power control information and the power adjustment information 3, combine the transmission power of the second power control information with the first reception power to obtain the second power control information, and respectively send the second power control information to the N far-end devices. Wherein the transmission power of the second power control information is greater than the transmission power of the first power control information. Optionally, the transmission power of the second power control information is less than or equal to a maximum value in a transmission power range corresponding to the near-end device.

The related content of the second power control information may refer to the description of the first power control information in the corresponding embodiment of fig. 2, and the difference is that the transmission power of the second power control information in the second power control information is greater than the transmission power of the first power control information in the first power control information.

Wherein the transmission power of the second power control information is determined by the transmission power of the first power control information and the power adjustment information 3. The power adjustment information 3 is used to indicate how to adjust the transmission power of the near-end device. Optionally, if the power adjustment information 3 is a power adjustment value, the transmit power of the second power control information may be calculated by the following expression:

wherein, P₁ ^cRepresents the transmission power of the first power control information,

a transmission power, Δ P, indicating second power control information^cPower adjustment value, Δ P, indicating power adjustment information 3^cGreater than 0.

Optionally, if the power adjustment information 3 is a power adjustment coefficient, the transmit power of the second power control information may be calculated by the following expression:

wherein the content of the first and second substances,

a power adjustment coefficient representing the power adjustment information 3,

greater than 0.

Further, after the N remote devices receive the second power control information from the near-end device, the near-end device may send the second signal according to the second power control information, and if the second signal in the preset time period still does not satisfy the preset condition, the near-end device may repeatedly perform the step of increasing the sending power of the power control information. Until the near-end device receives a signal from the far-end device and meets the condition, or until the power control information transmitted by the near-end device reaches the maximum value in the range of the transmission power supported by the near-end device.

It should be noted that, within a preset time period sum, the near-end device may send a notification message to the far-end device to instruct the far-end device to increase its transmission power. For example, in FIG. 7, if the near-end device is in the preset time period k₃If the received power of the first signal from the far-end device 1 received in the receiving device is out of the range of the received power supported by the near-end device, the near-end device may send a notification message to the far-end device 1; accordingly, the far-end device 1 may transmit a first signal 'to the near-end device according to the notification message after receiving the notification message, wherein the transmission power of the first signal' is higher than that of the first signal. In other words, the near-end device adjusting its transmission power and the far-end device adjusting the transmission power may be performed synchronously. The content of the adjustment of the transmission power by the remote device can be referred to the description in the corresponding embodiment of fig. 3, and is not described herein again.

It should be noted that, if the N first signals satisfy the preset condition, in the subsequent near-end communication time, the near-end device sends the communication message with the adjusted sending power of the power control information.

In the embodiment of the application, when the number of the remote devices is N, part (or all) of the N remote devices may not receive the first power control information sent by the near-end device, so that part (or all) of the remote devices may not send the first signal to the near-end device, or when the reception power of the first signal reaching the near-end device is outside the reception power range supported by the near-end device, the near-end device increases the transmission power of the first power control information, which is beneficial to making the reception power of the adjusted first signal reaching the near-end device be within the reception power range supported by the near-end device. The near-end device does not need to employ AGC to dynamically adjust its receiver's ability to receive signals, and can successfully receive and demodulate signals from the far-end device directly using static AGC. The overhead of the near-end equipment adopting the static AGC is small, the overhead change of the near-end equipment is not large along with the increase of the number of the far-end equipment, and the reliability of the indoor autonomous communication system can be improved.
