Description

State measurement method, device and system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of communication, in particular to a state measurement method, a state measurement device and a state measurement system.
Background
With the development of the multi-connection data transmission technology of the mobile communication system, the terminal can establish and maintain a plurality of Radio Links (RL) with a plurality of communication base stations at the same time, and perform uplink and downlink transmission and related control feedback of control plane/user plane data at the same time.
In a plurality of communication base station anchors, there is usually only one base station master anchor (or simply called main base station) and a plurality of base station auxiliary anchors (or simply called auxiliary base stations); the main base station is mainly responsible for the control plane functions such as establishment, maintenance and release of the whole multi-connection operation, and the auxiliary base station is mainly responsible for the functions such as shunt and forwarding of related user plane data, so that data flow which can only be transmitted between the main base station and the terminal originally can be shunted and transmitted in a plurality of data connections (wireless data pipelines), and thus, the wireless resources of the air interface can be balanced and utilized more fully and efficiently.
Fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating a multi-connection operation mode of the mobile communication system according to the related art of the present invention, which is illustrated in fig. 1, wherein thin arrow lines indicate control signaling transmission and thick arrow lines indicate user data transmission.
In a future 3GPP 5G New Radio (NR) system, utilization and operation of high-frequency band Radio carrier resources will play an increasingly important role, and wider high-frequency carrier resources can be sufficiently aggregated and utilized by means of carrier aggregation, tight coupling multiple connections and the like, so as to improve capacity and throughput performance of the NR system. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a Beamforming operation of a high frequency small base station according to the related art, and as shown in fig. 2, under the wide coverage of a low frequency macro base station cell, an operator may perform capacity enhancement on a part of a Hotspot region through a high frequency (MmWave) small base station cell. Unlike the coverage of the conventional Omni-Directional (Omni-Directional) or sectored (Sector) cell, in order to increase the uplink and downlink wireless coverage and channel performance, the high-frequency small cell generally needs to perform Beamforming operation on the Transmit/Receive (TX/Receive, RX) side, that is, to Transmit/Receive beams directionally by using the multi-antenna phase technique, so as to converge the transmission power and reduce interference. The TRP (TRP: Transmit Receive Point, equivalent to AP in WLAN system) Cluster in fig. 2 transmits signals in the form of Beams.
Fig. 3 is a multi-connection data transmission communication architecture with tightly coupled high and low frequency base stations according to the related art of the present invention, and the high frequency cell deployment in fig. 2 is mapped to the working architecture in fig. 1, that is, the multi-connection data transmission communication architecture with tightly coupled high and low frequency base stations shown in fig. 3.
Uplink and downlink dedicated reference signals are used for measurement or demodulation of dedicated channels, and for example, in the downlink direction, when a BF synchronization training signal is transmitted by a TRP, the BF synchronization training signal is transmitted in a cyclic scanning manner according to a specific discrete angle (e.g., a rule of 0,30,60,90, 120.. 360 degrees), and the UE may also receive in a specific discrete angular orientation. After the initial coarse synchronization training, the TRP and the UE can roughly determine the optimal discrete angle of the other party, and then can further enter a fine synchronization training stage, so that the TRP and the UE can determine the continuous angle of the other party more accurately (the horizontal angle adjustment granularity of the fine synchronization training is smaller than that of the previous round-robin transmission), and the fine synchronization training minimizes Pathloss. Then, with the movement of the UE, the TRP and the UE need to continuously fine-tune the transmitting and receiving angles according to the BF synchronous training signal transmitted by the other party. Fig. 4 is a diagram illustrating a process from "coarse synchronization training" to "fine synchronization training" according to the related art of the present invention, the above process being illustrated in fig. 4.
The 'fine synchronization training' is an optional optimization function realized locally based on communication node hardware, after the 'fine synchronization training' is completed, the TRP and the UE side can ensure the best measurement result of the BRS and the best receiving and demodulating performance result of the RL proprietary signal, so that the TRP and the UE side can be in the best data transmission mode, and the signal transmission efficiency of a TX end and the signal-to-noise ratio received by an RX end are the maximum at the moment; otherwise, according to simulation, if the precision result of the spatial synchronization training is not enough, the received signal-to-noise ratio is reduced, the TRP and the UE cannot be in the best data transmission mode, and even worse, spatial/time-frequency desynchronization occurs between the TRP and the UE, and the TRP and the UE can only be in the worst data transmission mode.
In view of the above problems in the related art, no effective solution has been found at present.

Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of tightly coupling a non-BF mode node and a BF mode node for multi-connection data transmission according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the scenario of the present embodiment is as shown in fig. 8: the UE and the main Control anchor node (which may be an MeNB or an NR base station node) in the non-BF working mode have established Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection Signaling (SRB, Signaling Radio Bearer, Radio Bearer for transmitting RRC Control Signaling and a plurality of user plane Data bearers (DRB, Data Radio Bearer, Radio Resource set for carrying user service Data) and are connected with each other through a standardized interface (which may be an LTEX2 or an NR Xnew interface) between communication nodes, so that the DRB user Data can be shunted and transmitted in parallel in an uplink and a downlink manner, and a multi-connection Data transmission mode is performed, according to the transmission performance characteristics of the connected standardized interfaces, the main Control node and the shunt base station node can aggregate between carriers of the BF (Carrier Aggregation), mutual aggregation between authorized carriers/unauthorized carriers containing different frequency points) or DC (Dual Connectivity LTE Dual Connectivity, where a single UE is connected to two wireless network access nodes, such as MeNB and SeNB, and also includes other kinds of enbs, APs, and the like).
Before the UE and the BF shunting base station node establish RL (namely, before entering a multi-connection data transmission mode), the main control anchor point node configures related control parameters for recording and counting historical beam forming work sub-states to the UE through RRC signaling. Based on these parameters, the UE performs downlink spatial synchronization and downlink RRM measurement on the serving cell or Beams governed by the target BF offload base station node, that is, the UE needs to perform downlink spatial synchronization training and downlink time-frequency synchronization attempt on the serving cell or Beams in the BF mode first, and tries to find the optimal transmission angle of the common/dedicated downlink channel/signal (including downlink spatial synchronization training signal, which is similar to CRS in function for RRM measurement and estimation of channel quality and is different from Beam training signal) of the target TRP, the optimal reception angle of the UE itself, through the process of downlink Beam training.
Before RL is established between UE and BF shunting base station node (namely, before entering into multi-connection data transmission mode), the main control anchor point node configures relevant control parameters for recording and counting historical beam forming work sub-state to the BF shunting base station node through 'standardized interface between the main control anchor point node and the BF shunting base station node', the BF shunting base station node carries out uplink space synchronization and uplink RRM measurement on the UE in the service cell or Beams under the control of the BF shunting base station node based on the parameters, that is, the BF offload base station node needs to perform uplink spatial synchronization training and uplink time-frequency synchronization attempt on the serving cell in the BF mode or UEs in Beams first, through the process of uplink beam training, the optimal transmitting angle of the public/private uplink channel/signal (including uplink space synchronization training signal, uplink random access signal and the like) of the target UE and the optimal receiving angle of the BF shunting base station node are tried to be found.
In the initial stage, before the UE successfully completes the first downlink space/time-frequency synchronization state, the UE is defined to be in a "BF out-of-synchronization sub-state", and at this time, the UE clears an internal variable or a Log content Log for recording the historical beamforming sub-state information.
In the initial stage, before the BF offload base station node successfully completes the first uplink space/time frequency synchronization state, the BF offload base station node is defined to be in a "BF out-of-synchronization sub-state" for the specific associated UE, and at this time, the BF offload base station node clears the internal variables or the related Log content Log for recording the historical beamforming work sub-state information.
After the UE successfully completes the downlink space/time frequency coarse synchronization training, the UE is defined to be in a BF coarse synchronization sub-state, and at the moment, the UE records the BF coarse synchronization sub-state, occurrence time/place stamp (information) and a corresponding downlink RRM measurement result.
After the BF shunting base station node successfully completes the uplink space/time frequency coarse synchronization training, the BF shunting base station node is defined to be in a "BF coarse synchronization sub-state" for the specific associated UE, and at this time, the BF shunting base station node records the "BF coarse synchronization sub-state", the occurrence time/location stamp (information), and the corresponding uplink RRM measurement result.
Further, after the UE successfully completes the downlink space/time-frequency fine synchronization training, the UE is defined to be in a "BF fine synchronization sub-state", and at this time, the UE records the "BF fine synchronization sub-state", the occurrence time/location stamp (information), and the corresponding downlink RRM measurement result. (the measurement results are more reliable than those obtained under coarse synchronization).
Further, after the BF offload base station node successfully completes the uplink spatial/time-frequency fine synchronization training, the BF offload base station node is defined to be in a "BF fine synchronization sub-state" for the specific associated UE, and at this time, the BF offload base station node records the "BF fine synchronization sub-state" and occurrence time/location stamp (information) and corresponding uplink RRM measurement result. (the measurement results are more reliable than those obtained under coarse synchronization).
After the time lapse is pushed, in the later process, when the UE loses the state of downlink space/time frequency synchronization, the UE is defined to be in a BF out-of-step sub-state, and at the moment, the UE records the BF out-of-step sub-state, a time/place stamp (information) of occurrence and a corresponding downlink RRM measurement result. Similarly, when the BF shunting base station node loses the state of uplink space/time frequency synchronization, the BF shunting base station node is defined to be in the "BF out-of-step sub-state" for the specific associated UE, and at this time, the BF shunting base station node records the "BF out-of-step sub-state" and the occurrence time/location stamp (information) and the corresponding uplink RRM measurement result.
After the time lapse is deduced, in the later process, when the UE returns to enter the BF coarse synchronization sub-state or the BF fine synchronization sub-state again, the UE continues to record the BF coarse/fine synchronization sub-state, the occurrence time/place stamp (information) and the corresponding downlink RRM measurement result; and when the BF shunting base station node recovers to enter a BF coarse synchronization sub-state or a BF fine synchronization sub-state again, the BF shunting base station node continuously records the BF coarse/fine synchronization sub-state, the occurrence time/place stamp (information) and the corresponding uplink RRM measurement result.
Therefore, the final result of the uplink and downlink tracking synchronous recording process forms a history record table of the beam forming work sub-state of the BF communication node, and the starting time points of the table are as follows: after the main control anchor node completes the statistical configuration of the history information of the related sub-states, and the BF communication node successfully completes the BF coarse/fine synchronization sub-state for the first Time, the termination Time point of the table is that a certain Time limit timer Time Out/Expire is finished, or a display stop record command from the main control anchor node or the UE leaves the multi-connection data transmission mode.
The main control anchor point node can make the target UE report all or part of the history record table information of the beam forming work sub-state or only report the key event information analyzed and processed based on the table through RRC signaling. After the UE successfully reports, the UE clears the internal variables for recording the historical beamforming worker state information or the content of the Log content Log.
The main control anchor point node can make the target BF shunting base station node report all or part of historical record table information of beam forming working sub-state or analyze processed key event information based on the table through the signaling of 'standardized interface between the main control anchor point node and the BF shunting base station node'. After the successful report, the target BF shunting base station node clears the internal variables or the content of the Log content Log for recording the historical beamforming worker state information.
The main control anchor node can adjust internal related RRM strategies such as BF communication node beam forming operation management ((re) configuration, (de) activation and the like) and UE data distribution/mobility management based on historical record table information of beam forming work sub-states reported by the UE and the BF distribution base station node respectively, so that the method can be started, updated and stopped for multi-connection data transmission operation more reasonably, and obtains the historical conditions of the BF sub-states and the wireless signal strength/quality at the BF distribution base station node side where the service UE and the BF distribution base station node cooperate to perform tight coupling distribution, and performs optimization and performance improvement of network deployment.
Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of a transition model of a communication node BF sub-state according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the transition of the sub-state is as shown in fig. 9:
when the sub-state information reported by the UE and the BF offload base station node respectively and the uplink and downlink RRM measurement result information of the specific associated UE satisfy the specific system predefined condition set 1, the master control anchor node may select to establish (newly configure) a corresponding BF RL for the appropriate Beam of the served UE and the target BF offload base station node for the multi-connection data offload transmission.
When the sub-state information respectively reported by the UE and the BF offload base station node and the uplink and downlink RRM measurement result information of the specific associated UE satisfy the specific system predefined condition set 2, the master control anchor node may select to modify (reconfigure) the corresponding BF RL for the served UE and the target BF offload base station node Beam, and continue to be used for the multi-connection data offload transmission.
When the sub-state information reported by the UE and the BF offloading base station node respectively and the uplink and downlink RRM measurement result information of the specific associated UE satisfy the specific system predefined condition set 3, the master anchor node may select to delete (deconfigure) the corresponding BF RL for the served UE and the target BF offloading base station node Beam, and stop the multi-connection data offloading transmission on the RL.

Example 3
The present embodiment includes three specific embodiments, which are used to explain and explain the present application by combining different scenarios:
detailed description of the preferred embodiment 1
Fig. 14 is a schematic diagram according to embodiment 1 of the present invention, as shown in fig. 14: an operator deploys and utilizes high-low frequency tight coupling to carry out double-connection DC operation, service macro cell coverage of Pcell is arranged on a certain authorized carrier where a low-frequency main control anchor node MeNB is located, a remote end is connected with an SeNB high-frequency shunt base station node through an X2 interface, and the SeNB node is provided with deployment of 1 TRP1 and 4 service Beams under jurisdiction on the certain high-frequency authorized carrier where the SeNB node is located, so that capacity enhancement in a hot spot area is realized.
At a certain time, the UE is under public/private coverage of Pcell + TRP1-Beams, so that the MeNB decides to configure relevant control parameters for recording statistical historical beamforming worker states for the UE facing a high-frequency target service node, the UE performs downlink beamforming worker state tracking recording and RRM measurement on the target TRP1-Beams, and by default, the UE needs to perform downlink synchronous tracking attempt on the target TRP 1-Beams. The non-BF low frequency MeNB node and BF high frequency SeNB node and UE both support the context capabilities of the present invention. The method comprises the following specific implementation steps:
step 101: the master control anchor point node MeNB configures Beam search, training and tracking and Beam downlink RRM measurement of a Beam towards a high-frequency target TRP1 node for the UE through RRC message RRC Connection Reconfiguration, and records and counts the operation of the historical Beam forming worker state related to the invention. The main control parameters include: working frequency point information of TRP1, cell physical configuration information, and maximum duration information Tmax for BF sub-state record statistics.
Step 102: the UE starts a related timer, starts to perform Beam tracking synchronization and measurement based on parameters configured by the MeNB, performs Beam training tracking through a downlink public/private synchronization signal transmitted by the Beam governed by TRP1, and after 10ms of synchronization training, the UE obtains a downlink BF coarse synchronization sub-state with the optimal Beam1 but cannot enter a BF fine synchronization sub-state, so that the UE records a record Entry and a related time/location stamp (information) of a first Beam1-BF coarse synchronization sub-state. The UE simultaneously carries out downlink RRM measurement through downlink public/private pilot signals transmitted by Beams governed by the TRP1, so that the UE obtains downlink RRM measurement results of other Beams 2/3/4 governed by the optimal Beam1 and TRP1 which have tracked synchronization, and records the downlink RRM measurement results together with a first Beam1-BF rough synchronization sub-state.
Step 103: as the timer continues to go, the UE continues to track synchronization and measure the target Beam, and after the UE has generated Beam Switch within TRP1, for example, the UE newly obtains a downlink "BF coarse synchronization substate" with the best Beam2, the UE records the record Entry and associated time/location stamp (information) of the second "Beam 2-BF coarse synchronization substate". The UE simultaneously carries out downlink RRM measurement through downlink common/private pilot signals transmitted by Beams governed by the TRP1, so that the UE obtains downlink RRM measurement results of the synchronized optimal Beam2 and other Beams 1/3/4 governed by the TRP1, and the downlink RRM measurement results are recorded together with a second Beam2-BF rough synchronization sub-state.
Step 104: the UE continues to track the measurement target Beam along with the continuous running of the timer when the BF desynchronization of the UE occurs
Thereafter, a downlink "Beam 2-BF out-of-sync substate" occurs, such as for the UE and the current best Beam2, whereupon the UE records the second
Three record entries Entry for "Beam 2-BF out-of-sync substate" and associated time/place stamps (information). UE simultaneous passing
Downlink common/special pilot frequency signals emitted by Beams governed by TRP1 are used for downlink RRM measurement, and UE obtains the loss of synchronization which just happens
The downlink RRM measurement results of other beams 1/3/4 governed by Beam2 and TRP1, and a third Beam2-BF desynchronizing
The sub-states "are recorded together.
Step 105: as time goes on, the UE timer reaches Tmax, so that the UE stops the recording and counting operation of the historical beamforming operation sub-state related to the present invention, and the UE may report that its recording and counting operation is completed to the MeNB through an RRC message, and there is a recording Entry in the local table. The UE still needs to keep tracking synchronization and measure the target Beams, try to maintain or recover the "BF coarse/fine synchronization sub-state", and continue the dual connectivity data transmission mode.
Step 106: and the MeNB requires the UE to report the historical beamforming work sub-state Information which is recorded and counted before through an RRC message UE Information Request. At this time, the UE may still be in the dual connectivity data transmission mode, and the real-time sub-states of the UE and the target Beams may be arbitrary.
Step 107: and the UE records statistical historical beamforming work sub-state Information before reporting to the MeNB through an RRC message UE Information Response. And after the successful report is finished, the UE deletes all record entries Entry in the emptied local record statistical table.
Step 108: and the MeNB can learn the change situation of the UE and the target TRP1-Beams downlink BF synchronizer state within a past period of time based on the result reported by the UE, decide to continue to establish high and low frequency DC dual connection operation for the served UE and the SeNB, and maintain the current transmission mode of the TRP1-Beams on the SeNB side.
Specific example 2
Fig. 15 is a schematic diagram according to specific embodiment 2 of the present invention, as shown in fig. 15: an operator deploys and utilizes NR high-low frequency tight coupling to carry out three connection operations, a service macro cell of a Pcell covers a certain authorized carrier where a low-frequency non-BF mode main control anchor point node NR BS is located, a BF mode NR BS high-frequency shunt base station node is connected at a far end through an NR Xnew interface, a certain high-frequency authorized carrier where the NR BS node is located has TRP1 and TRP2, and the NR BS node and the TRP BS node respectively manage 4 service Beams for capacity enhancement of a hotspot area.
The UE is under public/private coverage of Pcell + TRP1-Beams + TRP2-Beams at a certain time, so that a non-BF low-frequency main control NR BS determines to configure measurement parameters facing a BF mode high-frequency target service node for the UE, the UE carries out downlink tracking synchronization and RRM measurement on target TRP1-Beams and TRP2-Beams, sub-state information of statistical historical beam forming work is recorded, and by default, the UE needs to carry out downlink synchronization tracking attempt on target TRP1-Beams and TRP 2-Beams. Both the non-BF mode low frequency NR BS nodes and BF mode high frequency NR BS nodes and UEs support the context capabilities of the present invention. The method comprises the following specific implementation steps:
step 201: the method comprises the steps that a non-BF low-frequency NR BS of a main control anchor point node is configured for Beam search, training and tracking and downlink RRM Measurement of Beams of a UE facing a high-frequency target TRP1/2 node through RRC message registered Measurement Configuration, and relevant operation of recording and counting historical Beam forming work sub-states is carried out. The main control parameters include: working frequency point information of TRP1/2, cell physical configuration information, and maximum duration information Tmax for BF sub-state record statistics.
Step 202: the UE starts a related timer, starts to carry out Beam tracking synchronization and measurement based on parameters configured by a non-BF low-frequency NR BS, carries out Beam training tracking through a downlink public/private synchronization signal transmitted by the Beam controlled by TRP1, and after 5ms of synchronization training, the UE obtains a downlink BF coarse synchronization sub-state with the best Beam1, so that the UE records a first record Entry and a related time/place stamp (information) of the TRP1-Beam1-BF coarse synchronization sub-state; the UE simultaneously carries out downlink RRM measurement through downlink public/private pilot signals transmitted by Beams governed by the TRP1, so that the UE obtains downlink RRM measurement results of other Beams 2/3/4 governed by the optimal Beam1 and TRP1 which have tracked synchronization, and records the downlink RRM measurement results together with a first TRP1-Beam1-BF rough synchronization sub-state. After 1ms of synchronization training, the UE further enters a downstream "BF fine synchronization substate" with the best Beam1, and the UE records the record Entry and associated time/location stamp (information) of the second "TRP 1-Beam1-BF fine synchronization substate". The UE simultaneously carries out downlink RRM measurement through downlink common/private pilot signals transmitted by Beams governed by the TRP1, so that the UE obtains downlink RRM measurement results of other Beams 2/3/4 governed by the optimal Beams 1 and TRP1 which have tracked synchronization, and records the downlink RRM measurement results together with a second TRP1-Beams 1-BF fine synchronization sub-state. Similarly, for TRP2, the UE needs to perform a similar tracking synchronization measurement operation for TRP1, assuming that the UE also obtains a downlink "BF coarse synchronization sub-state" and a downlink "BF fine synchronization sub-state" in sequence with the best Beam2 governed by TRP2, the UE also records corresponding sub-state information, time/location stamp (information), and downlink RRM measurement result: the third "TRP 2-Beam2-BF coarse synchronizer state" and the fourth "TRP 2-Beam2-BF fine synchronizer state".
Step 203: as the timer goes on, the UE continues to track the target Beam governed by the synchronization and measurement TRP1/2, respectively, and after the UE has generated Beam Switch within TRP1, for example, the UE has newly acquired a downlink "BF coarse synchronization sub-state" with the best Beam2, then the UE records the record Entry and associated time/location stamp (information) and RRM measurement result of the fifth "TRP 1-Beam2-BF coarse synchronization sub-state", but then the UE and the current best Beam2 have generated a downlink "TRP 1-Beam2-BF out-of-step sub-state", then the UE records the record Entry and associated time/location stamp (information) and RRM measurement result of the sixth "TRP 1-Beam2-BF out-of-step sub-state". Similarly, for TRP2, the UE needs to perform a similar tracking synchronization measurement operation for TRP1, and assuming that after the UE generates a Beam Switch in TRP2, it obtains a downlink "BF coarse synchronization sub-state" and a downlink "BF fine synchronization sub-state" in sequence with the best Beam3 governed by TRP2, and the UE also records corresponding sub-state information, a time/location stamp (information), and a downlink RRM measurement result: the seventh "TRP 2-Beam3-BF coarse Sync State" and the eighth "TRP 2-Beam3-BF Fine Sync State".
Step 204: as the timer continues to go over time, the UE continues to track the targets governed by the synchronization and measurement TRP1/2, respectively
Beam, during the process that the UE performs the tracking synchronization measurement operation facing to TRP1, the best governed UE and TRP1 are assumed
The Beam3 successively obtains the downlink BF coarse synchronization sub-state and the downlink BF out-of-step sub-state, and the UE correspondingly records
Corresponding sub-state change information, time/location stamp (information) and downlink RRM measurement results: the ninth item "TRP 1-Beam3-BF
Coarse synchronizer State "and the tenth" TRP1-Beam3-BF out-of-synchronization substate ". Note: RL occurrence between UE and TRP1
Multiple out-of-sync substates are shown, indicating that this RL is not well suited for data splitting.
Step 205: as time goes on, the UE timer reaches Tmax, so that the UE stops the recording and counting operation of the historical beamforming operation sub-state related to the present invention, and the UE may report that its recording and counting operation is completed to the non-BF low-frequency NR BS through an RRC message, and there is a recording Entry in the local table. The UE still needs to keep tracking synchronization and measure the target Beams, try to maintain or recover the "BF coarse/fine synchronization sub-state", and continue the three-connection data transmission mode.
Step 206: and the non-BF low-frequency NR BS of the main control anchor node requires the UE to report the historical beamforming work sub-state Information which is recorded and counted before through an RRC message UE Information Request. At this time, the UE may still be in the three-connection data transmission mode, and the real-time sub-states of the UE and the target Beams may be arbitrary.
Step 207: and the UE reports the recorded and counted historical beamforming work sub-state Information before the low frequency of the main control anchor node is not BF to the main control anchor node through RRC Information Response. And after the successful report is finished, the UE deletes all record entries Entry in the emptied local record statistical table.
Step 208: the non-BF low frequency of the main control anchor point node can learn the change situation of the UE in the past period and the downlink BF synchronizer state of the target TRP1/2-Beams, decide to delete RL between the UE and the TRP1, enable the UE to only perform double connection operation with the TRP2, and maintain the current emission mode of the TRP2-Beams at the BF high frequency NR BS side.

The UE is under public/private coverage of Pcell + TRP1-Beams + TRP2-Beams at a certain time, so that a non-BF low-frequency main control NR BS determines to configure measurement parameters of a related high-frequency target service node for the UE, the UE carries out downlink RRM measurement on target TRP1-Beams and TRP2-Beams, sub-state information of historical beamforming work is recorded, and by default, the UE needs to carry out downlink synchronous tracking attempt on target TRP1-Beams and TRP 2-Beams. Both the non-BF low frequency NR BS nodes and BF high frequency NR BS nodes and UEs support the context capabilities of the present invention. The method comprises the following specific implementation steps:
step 301: the non-BF low-frequency NR BS of the main control anchor node is configured for Beam search, training and tracking of a high-frequency target TRP1/2 node-oriented Beam RRM measurement of the Beam by the UE through RRC message RRC Connection Reconfiguration, and relevant operation of recording and counting historical Beam forming work sub-states is carried out. The main control parameters include: working frequency point information of TRP1/2, cell physical configuration information, and event evaluation information for BF sub-state record statistics.
The event is defined as: when the UE aims at the same Beam in the Twin observation window, if two or more downlink BF out-of-step sub-states occur, the UE triggers and reports the event to the non-BF low-frequency NR BS.
Step 302: the UE starts to carry out Beam tracking synchronization and measurement based on parameters configured by a non-BF low-frequency NR BS, Beam training tracking is carried out through a downlink public/private synchronization signal transmitted by the Beam governed by TRP1, after 10ms of synchronization training, the UE obtains a downlink BF coarse synchronization sub-state of the best Beam4, and then the UE records a recording Entry and a related time/place stamp (information) of a first TRP1-Beam4-BF coarse synchronization sub-state; the UE simultaneously carries out downlink RRM measurement through downlink public/private pilot signals transmitted by Beams governed by the TRP1, so that the UE obtains downlink RRM measurement results of other Beams 1/2/3/governed by the optimal Beam4 and TRP1 which have tracked synchronization, and the downlink RRM measurement results are recorded together with a first TRP1-Beam4-BF rough synchronization sub-state. After 2ms of synchronization training, the UE further enters a downstream "BF fine synchronization substate" with the best Beam4, and the UE records the Entry and associated time/location stamp (information) of the second "TRP 1-Beam4-BF fine synchronization substate". The UE simultaneously carries out downlink RRM measurement through downlink public/private pilot signals transmitted by Beams governed by TRP1, so that the UE obtains downlink RRM measurement results of other Beams 1/2/3/governed by the optimal Beams 4 and TRP1 which have tracked synchronization, and records the downlink RRM measurement results together with a second 'TRP 1-Beams 4-BF fine synchronization sub-state'. Similarly, for TRP2, the UE needs to perform a similar tracking synchronization measurement operation for TRP1, assuming that the best Beam3 governed by the UE and TRP2 obtains a downlink "BF coarse synchronization sub-state" and a downlink "BF fine synchronization sub-state" in sequence, the UE also records corresponding sub-state information, time/location stamp (information), and downlink RRM measurement result: the third "TRP 2-Beam3-BF coarse synchronizer state" and the fourth "TRP 2-Beam3-BF fine synchronizer state". Since the UE is limited in capability to do only dual connectivity operation, the UE can only establish and activate the RL of TRP1 for the time being while establishing the RL that is maintained but not activating TRP 2. The RL on the TRP2 side is equivalently preconfigured and cannot be used for data offloading transmission before being activated, and the UE needs to maintain sub-state information related to downlink tracking synchronization/recording statistics.
Step 303: over time, the UE continues to track and measure the target Beam dominated by TRP1/2 respectively, and when the UE occurs and the current best Beam4 in TRP1 descends "TRP 1-Beam4-BF out-of-step sub-state", then the UE records the fifth record Entry of "TRP 1-Beam4-BF out-of-step sub-state" and the associated time/location stamp (information) and RRM measurement result, the UE starts the UE promoter state event evaluation timer. Similarly, for TRP2, the UE needs to perform a similar tracking synchronization measurement operation for TRP1, and assuming that after the UE generates a Beam Switch in TRP2, it obtains a downlink "BF coarse synchronization sub-state" and a downlink "BF fine synchronization sub-state" in sequence with the best Beam1 governed by TRP2, and the UE also records corresponding sub-state information, a time/location stamp (information), and a downlink RRM measurement result: the sixth "TRP 2-Beam1-BF coarse Sync State" and the seventh "TRP 2-Beam1-BF Fine Sync State".
Step 304: over time, the UE continues to track the targets dominated by the synchronization and measurement TRP1/2 respectively
Beam, during the process that the UE performs the tracking synchronization measurement operation facing to TRP1, the best governed UE and TRP1 are assumed
The Beam4 successively obtains the downlink BF coarse synchronization sub-state and the downlink BF out-of-step sub-state again, and the UE records the BF coarse synchronization sub-state and the downlink BF out-of-step sub-state correspondingly
Recording the corresponding sub-state change information, time/place stamp (information) and downlink RRM measurement result: eighth Bar
"TRP 1-Beam4-BF rough synchronizer State" and the ninth "TRP 1-Beam4-BF out-of-step synchronizer State". Note: since the "TRP 1-Beam4-BF out-of-sync substate" again occurs for TRP1-Beam4 that had been out-of-sync before, and at this point the event evaluation timer has not timed out < Twin, the UE needs to trigger reporting of the event to the non-BF low frequency NR BS. The RL out-of-sync substate occurs many times in a short time between the UE and TRP1, which indicates that the RL is not well suited for data offloading.
Step 305: when the defined evaluation event is triggered, the UE may Report its own record statistical result to the non-BF low-frequency NR BS through an RRC message Measurement Report, and the local table has a record Entry. And after the successful report is finished, the UE deletes all record entries Entry in the emptied local record statistical table. The UE still needs to keep tracking synchronization and measure the target Beams, try to maintain or recover the "BF coarse/fine synchronization sub-state", and continue the dual connectivity data transmission mode.
Step 306: the non-BF low frequency of the main control anchor point node can learn the change situation of the UE and the downlink BF synchronizer state of the target TRP1/2-Beams in a period of time in the past, decide to deactivate the RL between the UE and the TRP1, activate the RL between the UE and the TRP2 which is pre-configured before, enable the UE to perform double-connection operation with the TRP2 again, and maintain the current transmission mode of the TRP1/2-Beams on the BF high-frequency NR BS side.
