Step S301: at least two subarray periodically generates the wave beam of new coverage area, and is producing every time Pilot signal transmitted on raw wave beam.
Specifically, each subarray can periodically generate the wave of new coverage area at least two subarray Beam.As an example it is assumed that some subarray can produce the wave beam of 5 different coverage areas at least two subarray, that Some subarray can be adjusted successively 5 times, and adjustment generates the wave beam of a coverage area every time, during 5 adjustment The wave beam of 5 different coverage areas can be generated.In addition, the wave beam of different coverage areas herein refers specifically to coverage area not Identical wave beam;In addition, the beam coverage that different subarrays generate is also different.Therefore, it is adopted in the embodiment of the present application It can produce the wave beam that can much cover different range at least two subarrays.Further, at least two subarray In each subarray be connected to radio-frequency channel, the video channel by pilot signal transmission at least two subarray, correspondingly, At least two subarray sends the wave beam that the pilot signal received passes through the new coverage area generated every time.It can Choosing, the wave beam of each subarray is focused by lens antenna, to improve the gain of each wave beam.
In the embodiment of the present application, each subarray is each at least two subarray has respective mark by oneself, in order to Each array is distinguished;Also, the different wave beams that each subarray generates are also each to have respective mark by oneself, in order to right Different beams distinguish.Here, each pilot signal can carry the mark for sending the wave beam of the pilot signal, and carry Generate the mark of the subarray of the wave beam.As an example it is assumed that at least two subarray includes subarray 1, subarray 2, son Array 3 and subarray 4, and subarray 1 can periodically be sequentially generated wave beam 1-1, wave beam 1-2, wave beam 1-2, wave beam 1-4, wave beam 1-5, subarray 2 can periodically be sequentially generated wave beam 2-1, wave beam 2-2, wave beam 2-2, wave beam 2-4, Wave beam 2-5, subarray 3 can periodically be sequentially generated wave beam 3-1, wave beam 3-2, wave beam 3-2, wave beam 3-4, wave beam 3-5, subarray 4 can periodically be sequentially generated wave beam 4-1, wave beam 4-2, wave beam 4-2, wave beam 4-4, wave beam 4-5. So, the pilot signal sent on the wave beam 1-1 generated on subarray 1 can carry the mark of subarray 1 and carry wave beam The mark of 1-1, the pilot signal sent on the wave beam 1-2 generated on subarray 1 can carry the mark and carrying of subarray 1 The mark of wave beam 1-2, the pilot signal sent on the wave beam 2-1 generated on subarray 2 can carry subarray 2 mark and The mark of wave beam 2-1 is carried, the pilot signal sent on the wave beam 2-2 generated on subarray 2 can carry the mark of subarray 2 Know and carry the mark of wave beam 2-2, the rest may be inferred for remaining.
Correspondingly, each terminal receives pilot signal, and wherein any one terminal is likely to be received one or more Pilot signal, each terminal can also respectively parse the mark for the subarray that the pilot signal received includes and the mark of wave beam Know.In addition, each terminal can also measure signal quality when receiving pilot signal, when a terminal receives multiple pilot tone letters Number when, the signal quality of multiple pilot signal is possibly different from, it is also possible to there is a situation where that part is identical.Subsequent, this is each A terminal respectively can send feedback information to the network equipment, indicate this in the feedback information that wherein any one terminal is sent The mark of wave beam and the mark of subarray that include in each pilot signal that a terminal receives of anticipating and each pilot tone letter Number signal quality.
