Description

Method for determining User Equipment (UE) position and processing device
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and a processing apparatus for determining a location of a user equipment UE.
Background
A large-scale multiple input multiple output (Massive MIMO) antenna system is derived from a phased array radar technology and evolves to a cellular multiple antenna communication system on the basis of the phased array radar technology, and the Massive MIMO can greatly improve cell capacity and throughput by using a spatial multiplexing technology without increasing new spectrum resources. Currently, massive MIMO has been considered by the industry as a crucial method for improving spectrum utilization efficiency in Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE +, especially in the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G).
Multiflow multiplexing relies on the correlation between user terminal (UE) channels, and the key factors affecting this correlation depend on the spatial degrees of freedom between UEs. In the prior art, for determining the spatial distance of the UE in a laboratory, a Variable Attenuation Matrix (VAM) test device is usually used to determine the spatial distance of the UE, that is, different measurement distances are transformed at the same narrow wave velocity to determine the actual location of the UE in the real world. If in the determination process, when the channel does not pass through a channel simulator (CE), due to low spatial degree of freedom, 8-stream, 16-stream or more than 16-stream multi-user multiple input multiple output antenna system (MU-MIMO) pairing cannot be triggered; when passing through the CE, the maximum standard of the CE channel number is 32 × 8 due to the standard limit of the CE channel number, which results in that the MU-MIMO test of more than 8 streams cannot be performed, and the test requirements of the MU-MIMO or full-dimensional multiple input multiple output antenna system (FD-MIMO) of a 64T or 128T smart antenna unit (AAU) cannot be met.
Therefore, the method of the prior art cannot test and determine the multi-channel signal synthesis of more than 128T, and the test method is difficult and uncertain due to the complexity of the large-scale mimo antenna system and the communication channel. Therefore, the determination of such channels in the existing laboratory test environment is still a current stage and a problem to be solved in the future.

Detailed Description
The embodiment of the application provides a method and a processing device for determining the position of User Equipment (UE), which can reduce analog deviation and meet the test scene requirement of Massive MIMO multi-user multi-stream multiplexing in a laboratory.
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.
The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," and the like in the description and in the claims of the present application and in the drawings described above, if any, are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the application described herein are, for example, capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.
The technical scheme of the embodiment of the application can be applied to determining the 3D space position of the user in a laboratory, namely determining the position of the user in the three-dimensional space. In order to accurately determine the 3D spatial position of a user in a laboratory, in the prior art, a variable attenuation matrix testing device is usually used to determine the distance from a UE to a base station, that is, when the base station transmits a narrow beam to the UE, the actual position of the UE in the real world is determined by transforming different measurement distances on the same narrow beam. Due to the mobility of the UE, the UE can move back and forth on the same horizontal dimension wave beam and can also move up and down on different vertical dimension wave beams. Therefore, the existing determination method can only support the situation that the UE determines signals when moving back and forth on the same horizontal dimension wave beam, can not support the situation that different vertical dimension wave beams of the UE move up and down, and can not support the situation that the UE moves left and right on the same horizontal dimension wave beam.
Therefore, in order to solve the above problems in the prior art, the embodiment of the present application provides a new scheme for determining the 3D spatial position of the user, so as to accurately determine the actual position of the user in the real world in a laboratory, and reduce the simulation deviation.
Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a scene architecture according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the antenna array and 4 UEs are included, wherein UE _1 and UE _2 are in the same horizontal dimension, and UE _3 and UE _4 are in the vertical dimension. The antenna array can send horizontal-dimension beams to the UE _1 and the UE _2 and send vertical-dimension beams to the UE _3 and the UE _4, and if the actual position of the UE is to be accurately determined, the beam arrival angle AOA is used, wherein the AOA actually refers to the angle when the UE sends a signal to the antenna array and the antenna array receives the signal, so that the deviation condition of the direction angle of the UE when the UE moves back and forth on the same horizontal dimension or moves up and down on different vertical-dimension beams can be obtained through the AOA.
It should be noted that the antenna array includes M antenna elements, and the M antenna elements are sequentially ordered from small to large according to the number, and M is an integer greater than 0. The number of UEs in fig. 1 is only an example, and in practical cases, the number of UEs may be 5, 6 or more, and fig. 1 is not to be construed as a limitation on the number of UEs.
The method for determining the position of the User Equipment (UE) is suitable for determining the actual position of the UE in a three-dimensional space. With reference to fig. 1, a description is given below of a scene schematic diagram of the present application, where please refer to fig. 2, where fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a method for determining a location of a user equipment UE according to an embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the method for determining the location of the user equipment UE provided in the embodiment of the present application is intended to include:
201. and determining the spacing information of the M antenna elements and the angle information of the N UEs.
In this embodiment, the spacing information is the spacing between any two of the M antenna elements, and the two antenna elements are located at adjacent positions. The angle information refers to an angle used by any UE of the N UEs to send to the M antenna elements, and is usually represented by a beam angle of arrival. The angle information may include an angle in a horizontal dimension or an angle in a vertical dimension, and the pitch information may include a pitch in the horizontal dimension or a pitch in the vertical dimension.
M, N are integers greater than 0.
202. And generating an M x N phase shift value matrix according to the distance information and the angle information, wherein the phase shift values in the phase shift value matrix are used for indicating the spatial position of the UE.
In this embodiment, because each UE transmits a beam to the M antenna elements, the beam used by each UE has an angle information, and therefore, for any UE of the N UEs, for example, UE _1, when the UE _1 transmits a beam to the M antenna elements, M × 1 angle information is generated, so that, for N UEs at the same time, for example, UE _1, UE _2, and UE _3 … UE _ N, when the UE _1 transmits a beam to the M antenna elements, M × 1 angle information is generated; similarly, when there are two UEs, for example, UE _1 and UE _2 respectively send beams to the M antenna elements, M × 2 angle information is generated, and so on, and when there are N UEs, for example, UE _1, UE _2, and UE _3 …, UE _ N respectively send beams to the M antenna elements, M × N angle information is generated. So, an M × N phase shift value matrix can be generated by combining the distance information and the angle information, and each phase shift value in the phase shift value matrix can be used to indicate the spatial position of the UE, i.e., the UE is located at a specific position in three-dimensional space.
In the embodiment of the application, the phase shift value matrix is generated through the angle information of the UE and the distance information of the antenna array, so that the phase shift value in the phase shift value matrix can be used for indicating the spatial position of the UE in a laboratory, the spatial position of the UE is determined through the angle information, the simulation deviation can be reduced, and the test scene requirement of Massive MIMO multi-user multi-stream multiplexing in the laboratory can be met.
For convenience of understanding, a detailed description is provided below for a specific procedure in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to fig. 3, and fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of a method for determining a location of a UE in the embodiment of the present application.
301. And determining the spacing information of the M antenna elements and the angle information of the N UEs.
In this embodiment, the spacing information is the spacing between any two of the M antenna elements, and the two antenna elements are located at adjacent positions. The angle information refers to an angle used by any UE of the N UEs to send to the M antenna elements, and is usually represented by a beam angle of arrival. The angle information may include an angle in a horizontal dimension or an angle in a vertical dimension, and the pitch information may include a pitch in the horizontal dimension or a pitch in the vertical dimension.
The above-described beam arrival angle can be actually expressed by using an incident angle α, that is, an included angle between a connection line from the UE location to the antenna array and a cell normal, and the beam arrival angle can be calculated according to the incident angle, so as to determine angle information. The above mentioned spacing information is typically related to the wavelength of the beam, assuming that the wavelength is λ, so the spacing of adjacent antenna elements can be formulated as: spacing d n λ; that is, the horizontal dimension spacing of the antenna elements may be approximately equal to n times relative to the wavelength, so that the spacing information of two adjacent antenna elements can be determined according to the multiple of the wavelength.
M, N are integers greater than 0.
302. And determining the wave path difference according to the distance information and the angle information.
In this embodiment, the wave path is a distance between any UE and each antenna element when the signal reaches the antenna element. It is generally related to the angle of incidence at which the beam reaches the antenna elements, and the spacing between adjacent antenna elements. Therefore, the path when the signal sent by any UE reaches the reference antenna array and the path when the signal reaches the first antenna array can be calculated first, and then the path difference between any first antenna array and the reference antenna array can be calculated through the three-dimensional angle-phase difference model, and the calculation formula of the path difference can be expressed as: the difference in path is d sin (α).
It should be noted that the reference antenna element mentioned above is any one of the M antenna elements, and the first antenna element is M-1 antenna elements except for the reference antenna element. In this embodiment, for the purpose of simplifying the calculation, the antenna element numbered 1 is usually selected as a reference antenna element in the antenna array, and the element numbered 1 in the horizontal dimension and the element numbered 1 in the vertical dimension in the antenna array are selected, however, the antenna element numbered 1 is only selected as the reference antenna element to be used for a detailed explanation, but the determination of the reference antenna element in the practical application scenario may be determined as the case may be.
It should be further noted that, if there are a horizontal dimension angle and a vertical dimension angle, a horizontal dimension spacing and a vertical dimension spacing, a first wave path difference between the horizontal dimension angle and the horizontal dimension spacing and a second wave path difference between the vertical dimension angle and the vertical dimension spacing need to be calculated respectively, and the first wave path difference and the second wave path difference are summed to obtain a final wave path difference relative to the reference antenna array.
303. And converting the wave path difference into a phase difference.
In this embodiment, the phase difference may be expressed as a distance traveled by the first antenna array within a delay time when receiving the signal, with respect to the reference antenna array among all M antenna arrays. Because the phase of the same signal reaching any two adjacent antenna elements is different due to different distances, the phase difference of any two adjacent antenna elements can be determined by the wave path difference of the signal reaching the two adjacent antenna elements. Therefore, the path difference can be converted into a phase difference. The conversion formula is specifically as follows:
the phase difference of the signal received by the first antenna array relative to the reference antenna array is: the wave path difference/lambda is 2 pi, wherein pi is radian, so that the phase difference of any two adjacent antenna elements when signals transmitted by N UEs respectively reach the M antenna elements can be calculated by the formula.
To simplify the calculation, the phase information of the reference antenna element is usually set to 0, i.e. the phase in the horizontal dimension is 0 or the phase in the vertical dimension is 0, i.e. the phase shift value of the reference antenna element is 0.
304. And generating a phase shift value matrix according to the phase difference, wherein the phase shift value in the phase shift value matrix is used for indicating the space position of the UE.
In this embodiment, after obtaining the phase differences between the N UEs and the M antenna elements, an M × N phase shift value matrix may be directly generated according to the M × N phase differences, and each phase shift value in the phase shift value matrix may be used to indicate a spatial position of the UE, that is, a specific direction of the UE in the three-dimensional space.
In the embodiment of the application, the wave path difference is determined through the angle information of the UE and the distance information of the antenna array, so that the phase difference is determined, the phase shift value matrix is generated according to the phase difference, the phase shift value in the phase shift value matrix can be used for indicating the spatial position of the UE in a laboratory, the spatial position of the UE is determined through the phase shift value obtained through the phase difference, the simulation deviation can be reduced, and the requirement of a test scene of Massive MIMO multi-user multi-stream multiplexing in the laboratory can be met.
For convenience of understanding, a detailed description is provided below for a specific procedure in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to fig. 4, and fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of a method for determining a location of a user equipment UE provided in the embodiment of the present application.
401. And determining the spacing information of the M antenna elements and the angle information of the N UEs.
In this embodiment, the spacing information is the spacing between any two of the M antenna elements, and the two antenna elements are located at adjacent positions. The angle information refers to an angle used by any UE of the N UEs to send to the M antenna elements, and is usually represented by a beam angle of arrival. The angle information may include an angle in a horizontal dimension or an angle in a vertical dimension, and the pitch information may include a pitch in the horizontal dimension or a pitch in the vertical dimension.
The above-described beam arrival angle can be actually expressed by using an incident angle α, that is, an included angle between a connection line from the UE location to the antenna array and a cell normal, and the beam arrival angle can be calculated according to the incident angle, so as to determine angle information. The above mentioned spacing information is typically related to the wavelength of the beam, assuming that the wavelength is λ, so the spacing of adjacent antenna elements can be formulated as: spacing d n λ; that is, the horizontal dimension spacing of the antenna elements may be approximately equal to n times relative to the wavelength, so that the spacing information of two adjacent antenna elements can be determined according to the multiple of the wavelength.
M, N are integers greater than 0.
402. And determining the wave path difference according to the distance information and the angle information.
In this embodiment, the wave path is a distance between any UE and each antenna element when the signal reaches the antenna element. It is generally related to the angle of incidence at which the beam reaches the antenna elements, and the spacing between adjacent antenna elements. Therefore, the path when the signal sent by any UE reaches the reference antenna array and the path when the signal reaches the first antenna array can be calculated first, and then the path difference between any first antenna array and the reference antenna array can be calculated through the three-dimensional angle-phase difference model, and the calculation formula of the path difference can be expressed as: the difference in path is d sin (α).
It should be noted that the reference antenna element mentioned above is any one of the M antenna elements, and the first antenna element is M-1 antenna elements except for the reference antenna element. In this embodiment, for the purpose of simplifying the calculation, the antenna element numbered 1 is usually selected as a reference antenna element in the antenna array, and the element numbered 1 in the horizontal dimension and the element numbered 1 in the vertical dimension in the antenna array are selected, however, the antenna element numbered 1 is only selected as the reference antenna element to be used for a detailed explanation, but the determination of the reference antenna element in the practical application scenario may be determined as the case may be.
It should be further noted that, if there are a horizontal dimension angle and a vertical dimension angle, a horizontal dimension spacing and a vertical dimension spacing, a first wave path difference between the horizontal dimension angle and the horizontal dimension spacing and a second wave path difference between the vertical dimension angle and the vertical dimension spacing need to be calculated respectively, and the first wave path difference and the second wave path difference are summed to obtain a final wave path difference relative to the reference antenna array.
403. And determining the distance between any two adjacent antenna elements in the M antenna elements as the equivalent parallel distance.
In this embodiment, after the wave path difference is determined, it should be determined that the distance between any two antenna elements is the equivalent parallel distance. That is to say, the horizontal dimension distance between any UE and each antenna element is much greater than the distance between any two antenna elements, and the distance between any two antenna elements can be considered as an equivalent parallel distance, which is helpful to simplify the calculation process in a laboratory and reduce the power consumption in the processing process.
Generally, the distance between any UE and any two antenna elements with the horizontal dimension greater than 100 times of each antenna element may be regarded as an equivalent parallel distance meeting the requirement, but the specific requirement is determined according to the circumstances, and the specific requirement is not limited herein.
404. And when the distance between any two adjacent antenna arrays is determined to be equivalent parallel distance, converting the wave path difference into the phase difference.
In this embodiment, the phase difference may be expressed as a distance traveled by the mth antenna element within a delay time when receiving the signal, with respect to the reference antenna element among all the M antenna elements. That is, the phase of the same signal reaching any two adjacent antenna elements is different due to the difference of the distance between the two adjacent antenna elements, so the phase difference between any two adjacent antenna elements can be determined by the difference of the wave path lengths of the signal reaching the two adjacent antenna elements. Therefore, the path difference can be converted into a phase difference. The conversion formula is specifically as follows:
the phase difference of the signal received by the mth antenna element relative to the reference antenna element is: the wave path difference/lambda is 2 pi, wherein pi is radian, so that the phase difference of any two adjacent antenna elements when signals transmitted by N UEs respectively reach the M antenna elements can be calculated by the formula.
To simplify the calculation, the phase information of the reference antenna element is usually set to 0, i.e. the phase in the horizontal dimension is 0 or the phase in the vertical dimension is 0, i.e. the phase shift value of the reference antenna element is 0.
When the distance between any two adjacent antenna arrays is equivalent parallel distance, the calculation process can be simplified in a laboratory, and the power consumption in the processing process is reduced, so that the wave path difference can be converted into the phase difference under the condition.
405. And generating a phase shift value matrix according to the phase difference.
In this embodiment, after obtaining the phase differences between the N UEs and the M antenna elements, an M × N phase shift value matrix may be directly generated according to the M × N phase differences, and each phase shift value in the phase shift value matrix may be used to indicate a spatial position of the UE, that is, a specific direction of the UE in the three-dimensional space.
In the embodiment of the application, the wave path difference is determined through the angle information of the UE and the distance information of the antenna arrays, the phase difference is determined when the distance between any two adjacent antenna arrays is determined to be equivalent parallel distance, the phase-shift value matrix is generated according to the phase difference, the phase-shift value in the phase-shift value matrix can be used for indicating the spatial position of the UE in a laboratory, the calculation process can be simplified, the analog deviation can be reduced, and the test scene requirement of Massive MIMO multi-user multi-stream multiplexing in the laboratory can be met.
For convenience of understanding, a detailed description is provided below for a specific procedure in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to fig. 5, and fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of a method for determining a location of a UE in the embodiment of the present application.
501. And determining the spacing information of the M antenna elements and the angle information of the N UEs.
In this embodiment, the spacing information is the spacing between any two of the M antenna elements, and the two antenna elements are located at adjacent positions. The angle information refers to an angle used by any UE of the N UEs to send to the M antenna elements, and is usually represented by a beam angle of arrival. The angle information may include an angle in a horizontal dimension or an angle in a vertical dimension, and the pitch information may include a pitch in the horizontal dimension or a pitch in the vertical dimension.
The above-described beam arrival angle can be actually expressed by using an incident angle α, that is, an included angle between a connection line from the UE location to the antenna array and a cell normal, and the beam arrival angle can be calculated according to the incident angle, so as to determine angle information. The above mentioned spacing information is typically related to the wavelength of the beam, assuming that the wavelength is λ, so the spacing of adjacent antenna elements can be formulated as: spacing d n λ; that is, the antenna spacing in the horizontal dimension may be approximately equal to n times relative to the wavelength, so that the spacing information of two adjacent antenna elements can be determined according to the multiple of the wavelength.
M, N are integers greater than 0.
502. And determining the wave path difference by using the distance information and the angle information.
In this embodiment, the wave path is a distance between any UE and each antenna element when the signal reaches the antenna element. It is generally related to the angle of incidence at which the beam reaches the antenna elements, and the spacing between adjacent antenna elements. Therefore, the path when the signal sent by any UE reaches the reference antenna array and the path when the signal reaches the first antenna array can be calculated first, and then the path difference between any first antenna array and the reference antenna array can be calculated through the three-dimensional angle-phase difference model, and the calculation formula of the path difference can be expressed as: the difference in path is d sin (α).
It should be noted that the reference antenna element mentioned above is any one of the M antenna elements, and the first antenna element is M-1 antenna elements except for the reference antenna element. In this embodiment, for the purpose of simplifying the calculation, the antenna element numbered 1 is usually selected as a reference antenna element in the antenna array, and the element numbered 1 in the horizontal dimension and the element numbered 1 in the vertical dimension in the antenna array are selected, however, the antenna element numbered 1 is only selected as the reference antenna element to be used for a detailed explanation, but the determination of the reference antenna element in the practical application scenario may be determined as the case may be.
It should be further noted that, if there are a horizontal dimension angle and a vertical dimension angle, a horizontal dimension spacing and a vertical dimension spacing, a first wave path difference between the horizontal dimension angle and the horizontal dimension spacing and a second wave path difference between the vertical dimension angle and the vertical dimension spacing need to be calculated respectively, and the first wave path difference and the second wave path difference are summed to obtain a final wave path difference relative to the reference antenna array.
503. And converting the wave path difference into a phase difference.
In this embodiment, the phase difference may be expressed as a distance traveled by the first antenna array within a delay time when receiving the signal, with respect to the reference antenna array among all M antenna arrays. Because the phase of the same signal reaching any two adjacent antenna elements is different due to different distances, the phase difference of any two adjacent antenna elements can be determined by the wave path difference of the signal reaching the two adjacent antenna elements. Therefore, the path difference can be converted into a phase difference. The conversion formula is specifically as follows:
the phase difference of the signal received by the first antenna array relative to the reference antenna array is: the wave path difference/lambda is 2 pi, wherein pi is radian, so that the phase difference of any two adjacent antenna elements when signals transmitted by N UEs respectively reach the M antenna elements can be calculated by the formula.
To simplify the calculation, the phase information of the reference antenna element is usually set to 0, i.e. the phase in the horizontal dimension is 0 or the phase in the vertical dimension is 0.
504. And generating a phase shift value of the first antenna array according to the phase difference and the phase shift value of the reference antenna array.
In this embodiment, the antenna array generally selects the antenna element numbered 1 as the reference antenna element. That is, the number of the horizontal-dimension antenna element in the antenna array is 1, the number of the vertical-dimension antenna element in the antenna array is 1, and in order to simplify the process calculation and the like, the phase information of the reference antenna element is usually set to zero degrees, that is, the phase of the horizontal dimension is 0 or the phase of the vertical dimension is 0, so that the phase difference when the signal transmitted by each UE among the N UEs respectively reaches the reference antenna element is 0, and thus the phase shift value between each UE and the reference antenna element is 0. Therefore, the phase shift value of the first antenna element, that is, the phase shift values of other elements in the antenna array except the reference antenna element, can be generated according to the converted phase difference and the phase shift value of the reference antenna element, and a formula for specifically generating the phase shift value of the first antenna element can be expressed as follows:
deg_i-x=deg_i-1+2π*([(v-1)*V*sin(β_i)modλ]/λ+2π*[(h-1)*H*sin(α_i)modλ)]/λ
the antenna array comprises a first antenna array, a second antenna array, a base station, a mobile terminal and a mobile terminal, wherein the base station is provided with a base station, the base station is provided with a mobile terminal, and the base station is provided with a mobile terminal base station.
505. And generating a phase-shifting matrix table according to the phase-shifting value of the reference antenna array and the phase-shifting value of the first antenna array.
In this embodiment, since the phase difference between the signals sent by each UE and the reference antenna array is 0 when the signals reach the reference antenna array, the phase shift value between each UE and the reference antenna array is 0; similarly, assuming that the antenna element with number 2 is Ant2, the phase shift value for the Ant2 may be generated by the phase shift value of the reference antenna element and the phase difference when the signals transmitted by the N UEs respectively reach the reference antenna element, Ant2, for example: it is assumed that the phase shift value between UE _2 and Ant2 can be generated by adding the phase difference between the arrival of the signal transmitted by UE _2 at the reference antenna element and the arrival at Ant2 to the phase shift value of UE _2 and the reference antenna element. Therefore, the same method can be adopted for the phase shift values between the other UEs and the first antenna array, so that M × N phase shift values can be obtained, and the M × N phase shift values are arranged in sequence to obtain an M × N phase shift value matrix, so that the M × N phase shift value matrix can generate a corresponding M × N phase shift matrix table.
The above mentioned sequential ordering may mean that the numbers of the antenna elements are ordered from small to large, and is not limited to the description here. Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a phase shift matrix table, and the phase shift values for each UE and M antenna elements can be understood with reference to fig. 6.
For Ant1, Ant2, Ant3, etc. in fig. 6, Ant1 refers to the reference antenna element with the element number 1 in the M antenna elements, and Ant2, Ant3, etc. refer to the first antenna elements with the element numbers 2, 3, etc. respectively. As can also be seen from fig. 6, the phase shift values of any UE and the reference antenna element are both 0.
506. And issuing the phase shift matrix table to the phase shifter matrix.
In this embodiment, after the phase shift matrix table is generated, the phase shift matrix table is issued to the phase shifter matrix, so that the phase shifter matrix can clearly and accurately determine the actual position of the UE in the three-dimensional space according to each phase shift value in the phase shift matrix table.
In the embodiment of the application, the wave path difference is determined through the angle information of the UE and the distance information of the antenna array, so that the phase difference is determined, the phase shift value of the first antenna array is generated according to the phase shift value of the phase difference and the reference antenna array, and is issued to the phase shifter matrix, so that the spatial position of the UE can be truly determined through hardware equipment according to the phase shift value in a laboratory, the spatial position of the UE is determined through the phase shift value obtained through the phase difference, not only can the simulation deviation be reduced, but also the test scene requirement of Massive MIMO multi-user multi-stream multiplexing in the laboratory can be met.
