wherein, R is the radius covered by the cell, lambda is the wavelength of the corresponding carrier wave, GtFor transmitting antenna gain, GrIs the receive antenna gain.
The LTE communication demand is highest and requires coverage of 100km, and if only the average path loss (open area) is considered according to the highest coverage area, the coverage area which can be supported by the highest high-frequency communication can reach 1 km. If the characteristics of high air absorption (oxygen absorption, rain fading and fog fading) and sensitivity to shadow fading and the like of the actual high-frequency carrier wave are considered, the coverage area which can be actually supported is less than 1 km.
If the high-frequency communication supports a coverage area of 1km at most, the SINR ratio which can be obtained in the same coverage area is different from that of an LTE system, the signal-to-noise ratio of the former coverage area is reduced by at least 20dB compared with that of the latter coverage area, and in order to ensure that the high-frequency communication has approximate SINR within the coverage area of the LTE system, the antenna gain of the high-frequency communication needs to be ensured. Fortunately, since the high-frequency communication has a shorter wavelength, it can be ensured that more antenna elements are accommodated in a unit area, and the more antenna elements can provide a higher antenna gain, thereby ensuring the coverage performance of the high-frequency communication.
More antenna elements means that beamforming methods can be used to ensure coverage for high frequency communications. As known from the previous design concept of LTE, to obtain a good beamforming effect, it is necessary to accurately obtain the state information of the channel, so as to obtain the beamforming weights from the state information of the channel. For a sending end (such as a base station), a receiving end (such as a terminal) needs to feed back downlink channel state information or weight; for the receiving end, the sending end needs to feed back the channel state information or weight of the uplink, thereby ensuring that the base station can send the downlink service by using the optimal beam, and the terminal can also send the uplink service by using the optimal beam. In this case, before the base station obtains the weight, the base station cannot cover the receiving end with the optimal beam, so that the receiving end cannot measure the reference signal sent by the base station to perform measurement, or even if the base station covers the terminal, the terminal cannot reach the same coverage of the base station, and the feedback content cannot be known by the base station, so that the selection of the beam weight and normal communication cannot be performed.

The terminal can detect index information corresponding to an optimal discovery signal group, the index information corresponds to a beam group and is called first-level index information, one beam group comprises at least one beam, then, indexes corresponding to discovery signals in the group can be obtained by further detecting other signals and are called second-level index information, and one beam in one beam group is further determined. And feeding back the two-stage index information through the two-stage index information so as to determine an optimal beam.
