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.
The inventor of the present application found in research that, in a satellite communication system, a satellite moves according to a preset orbit, and during the movement, a distance between the satellite and a gateway changes, that is, during a communication process between a terminal and the gateway through a satellite relay, total distances between the terminal and the satellite and between the satellite and the gateway change, in order to ensure demodulation performance required by the terminal during the communication process, the gateway needs to configure a resource value for the terminal, and if a fixed resource value is configured for the terminal in the existing terrestrial communication system, in the satellite communication system, when the distance between the satellite and the gateway is small, the demodulation performance required by the terminal can be satisfied by using the fixed resource value, but resource waste can be caused. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, on the premise of ensuring the demodulation performance required by the terminal, different resource values are allocated to terminals in a satellite coverage area with different distances from the gateway, and the smaller the distance is, the smaller the allocated resource value is, so that on the premise of ensuring the demodulation performance required by the terminal in the satellite communication system, the utilization rate of the resource is improved.
The embodiment of the application is suitable for a satellite communication system, and is particularly suitable for a low-orbit satellite communication system and a medium-orbit satellite communication system. For convenience of description, the present embodiment of the application refers to a gateway station and any one satellite that establishes a communication link with the gateway station as an example, and introduces a process in which the gateway station configures resources for the satellite.
Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a scenario of a satellite information system according to an embodiment of the present application, and it can be seen from fig. 1 that there are 5 satellites, namely, a satellite 1, a satellite 2, a satellite 3, a satellite 4, and a satellite 5, which establish a communication link with a gateway station. During the satellite movement, the distances between the satellite 1, the satellite 2, the satellite 3, the satellite 4 and the satellite 5 and the gateway are different. Assuming that the satellite 5 is a target satellite, the satellite 5 has three satellite cells, which are a satellite cell 1, a satellite cell 2 and a satellite cell 3 in sequence from left to right, wherein the distance from the satellite cell 2 to the target satellite is the smallest.
Fig. 2 is a resource allocation method provided in an embodiment of the present application, including the following steps:
s201, under the condition that a preset trigger condition is met, determining the distance between the target satellite and the gateway according to the position of the target satellite in the ephemeris information.
In this step, the preset trigger condition may be that the time reaches a preset time, specifically, the preset time is arranged according to the sequence of the preset time, and the time duration between two adjacent preset times may be a preset time duration. The value of the preset duration can be determined according to actual conditions, and the value of the preset duration is not limited in this embodiment.
The method includes determining a distance between a target satellite and a gateway at any preset time according to a position of the target satellite at the preset time when the target satellite in ephemeris information reaches the preset time, and specifically, a calculation method for calculating the distance between the satellite and the gateway according to the position of the satellite is the prior art and is not repeated herein.
S202, according to the preset corresponding relation between the distance range and the resource value set, the resource value set corresponding to the distance range to which the distance belongs is used as the resource value set of the target satellite.
In the present embodiment, a plurality of distance ranges are set in advance, and a resource value set is set in advance for each distance range. In addition, the preset distance ranges may not overlap with each other or overlap with each other, and the embodiment does not limit whether the preset distance ranges overlap with each other.
The distance range and the corresponding resource value set need to satisfy the following two conditions:
the first condition is that: the minimum resource value in the resource value set corresponding to any distance range ensures the demodulation performance required by the terminal in the coverage area of the target satellite under the condition that the distance between the target satellite and the gateway belongs to the distance range.
The second condition is that: in at least part of the distance range in the distance range, the smaller the minimum distance value in the distance range is, the smaller the minimum resource value in the resource value set corresponding to the distance range is.
Optionally, in this embodiment, in all the distance ranges, the smaller the minimum distance value in the distance range is, the smaller the minimum resource value in the resource value set corresponding to the distance range is.
Optionally, in this embodiment, the resource value set corresponding to any distance range includes: and the preset distance values forming the distance range respectively correspond to preset resource values. Wherein, the preset resource value corresponding to any preset distance value refers to: a minimum resource value that ensures demodulation performance required by a terminal within a coverage area of a target satellite in a case where a distance between the target satellite and a gateway belongs to a target distance range in which the minimum distance value is the distance value among the distance ranges.
Specifically, how to set the distance range and the resource value set corresponding to the distance range is described in the following embodiment corresponding to fig. 3. Of course, the embodiment corresponding to fig. 3 is only one implementation manner, and the embodiment does not limit the specific implementation manner.
In this embodiment, in the preset correspondence relationship between the distance ranges and the resource value sets, when the distance ranges do not overlap with each other, the resource value set corresponding to the distance range to which the distance belongs is unique. In the case that there is an overlap between the distance ranges, there may be a plurality of distance ranges to which the distances belong, and the manner of selecting the resource value set of the target satellite from the resource sets respectively corresponding to the plurality of distance ranges to which the distances belong may include: and taking the resource value set with the minimum resource value in the resource value sets respectively corresponding to the distance sets to which the distances belong as the resource value set of the target satellite. Of course, in practice, other manners may also be adopted to select the resource value set of the target satellite from the resource value sets respectively corresponding to the plurality of distance ranges to which the distances belong.
S203, selecting a resource value configured for the terminal in the ground coverage area of the target satellite from the resource value set of the target satellite.
In this embodiment, the resource value set includes at least one resource value, wherein there may be a plurality of resource values in the resource value set. There may be one or more satellite cells for the target satellite. The following describes a manner of allocating resource values to terminals in a coverage area of a satellite cell, respectively, for a target satellite having only one satellite cell and a target satellite having a plurality of satellite cells:
in the case where there is only one satellite cell of the target satellite, since the minimum resource value in the set of resource values of the target satellite can ensure the demodulation performance required by the terminal in the satellite coverage area where the distance from the terminal to the gateway belongs to the distance range, the minimum resource value in the set of resource values of the target satellite can be used as the resource value of the terminal in the coverage area of the current target satellite.
In this embodiment, resource values are allocated to terminals in coverage areas of different satellite cells from a set of resource values of a target satellite on the basis of the principle that the larger the distance between the coverage area of a satellite cell and the satellite, the larger the resource value allocated to the terminal in the coverage area of the satellite cell is.
And S204, sending the configured resource value to a terminal in the coverage area of the target satellite.
Specifically, in this step, the gateway station may transmit the corresponding resource value to the terminals in the coverage area of each satellite cell in a broadcast or RRC message manner.
For example, for the satellite cell 1, if the resource is the number of SSB periodic transmissions, and the number of SSB periodic transmissions allocated to the satellite cell 1 in S203 is 4, in this step, the number of SSB periodic transmissions transmitted by the gateway station to the terminal in the coverage area of the satellite cell 1 is 4.
In this embodiment, since the minimum resource value in the resource value sets corresponding to any distance range ensures the demodulation performance required by the terminal in the coverage area of the target satellite when the distance between the target satellite and the gateway belongs to the distance range, the resource value configured for the terminal in the terrestrial coverage area of the target satellite selected from the resource value set of the target satellite can ensure the demodulation performance of the terminal.
In the moving process of the target satellite, when different distances between the target satellite and the gateway belong to different distance ranges, the minimum distance value in the distance range is smaller in at least part of the distance ranges in the distance range, and the minimum resource value in the resource value set corresponding to the distance range is smaller, so that the resource value allocated to the satellite with the smaller distance between the target satellite and the gateway is smaller. Therefore, compared with the prior art that a unified resource value is adopted, the scheme of the application can distribute the resource value of the satellite with the smaller distance from the gateway to be smaller than the unified resource value adopted in the prior art, and therefore the scheme provided by the application can improve the resource utilization rate of the satellite communication system. Therefore, by adopting the scheme provided by the application, the resource utilization rate of the satellite communication system can be improved on the premise of ensuring the demodulation performance required by the terminal.
For each resource, the distance range and the resource value set are determined according to the same principle, and a resource (SSB periodic transmission times) is described as an example below, specifically, as shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a process for determining the distance range and the resource value set provided by the embodiment of the present application, and includes the following steps:
s301, obtaining a minimum resource value that can ensure demodulation performance required by the terminal under each of the preset plurality of distance values, and obtaining a minimum resource value corresponding to each of the preset plurality of distance values.
In this step, the preset distance values are distances between the target satellite and the gateway at each preset position when the target satellite is located at different preset positions during the movement of the target satellite on the preset orbit.
In this step, the minimum resource value corresponding to each of the preset distance values may be obtained in two ways, one way is through manual measurement, and the other way is through a preset formula.
Specifically, for any one preset distance value, the formula for determining the resource value under the distance value may be as follows:
in the formula, CellconfigDL represents a downlink resource value, Distance _ Feeder is a Distance between a target satellite and a gateway station, TXgNB is a gateway station transmitter performance, rxdelay is a satellite receiver performance, Power _ Feedermax is a Feeder link maximum transmission Power, and α is a Feeder link adjustment factor. Distance _ Service is the Distance between the target satellite and the terminal, txdelay is the satellite transmitter performance, RXUE is the terminal receiver performance, Power _ Servicemax is the user link maximum transmit Power, β is the user link adjustment factor, χ is the adjustment factor, such as the demodulation performance difference requirement.
In the formula, CellconfigUL represents an uplink resource value, RXgNB is a target satellite transmitter performance, TXrelay is a gateway station receiver performance, δ is a feeder link adjustment factor, ε is a user link adjustment factor, RXrelay is a satellite receiver performance, TXUE is a terminal transmission performance, and φ is an adjustment factor, such as a demodulation performance difference requirement.
In the formula, the values of α, β, χ, δ, ε, and φ may be determined in practice, and specifically, may be determined by manually collecting data, including: and determining values of alpha, beta, chi, delta, epsilon and phi according to the acquired data. Of course, the values of these parameters may also be determined in other manners, and this embodiment does not limit the specific implementation manner.
S302, arranging the preset distance values in the order from small to large, and selecting the distance values from the preset distance values.
Specifically, the manner of selecting the distance value is not limited in this embodiment.
And S303, taking the distance range formed by the two selected distance values and the positive and negative infinity values as a distance range.
For example, the selected distance values are N1, N2, and N3, respectively, where N1< N2< N3, constituting a distance range including (negative infinity, N1), (N1, N2), (N2, N3), and (N3, positive infinity). Wherein the obtained distance ranges do not overlap each other.
In this embodiment, there may also be an overlap between the distance ranges obtained in this step, for example, the distance range formed by N1, N2, and N3 may include: (negative infinity, N1), (N1, N2), (N2, N3), (N3, positive infinity), and (N1, N3), wherein (N1, N2) and (N1, N3) are distance ranges having an overlap.
S304, determining the resource values corresponding to the minimum distance value and the maximum distance value in each distance range respectively.
And aiming at any selected distance range, determining a target distance range corresponding to the minimum distance value and the maximum distance value of the distance range respectively. Wherein the target distance range of the minimum distance value is the distance range. The target distance range of the maximum distance value is any distance range in which the maximum distance value is the minimum distance value among the determined distance ranges.
The resource value corresponding to the minimum distance value is: and under the condition that the distance between the target satellite and the gateway belongs to the target distance range corresponding to the minimum distance value, ensuring the minimum resource value of the demodulation performance of the terminal in the coverage area of the target satellite. The resource value corresponding to the maximum distance value is as follows: and ensuring the minimum resource value of the demodulation performance of the terminal in the coverage area of the target satellite under the condition that the distance between the target satellite and the gateway belongs to the target distance range corresponding to the maximum distance value.
Taking the distance range (N1, N2) as an example, the target distance range corresponding to N1 is (N1, N2), and the maximum resource value in the minimum resource values respectively corresponding to the preset distance values belonging to (N1, N2) is taken as the resource value corresponding to N1. Taking the distance value as (N1, N3) as an example, the target distance range corresponding to N1 is (N1, N3), and the maximum resource value in the minimum resource values respectively corresponding to the preset distance values belonging to (N1, N3) is taken as the resource value corresponding to N1.
S305, regarding any distance range, taking a set formed by the resource values respectively corresponding to the maximum distance value and the minimum distance value in the distance range as a resource value set corresponding to the distance range.
For example, assume that the resource is the SSB cycle transmission count, the SSB cycle transmission count corresponding to N1 is 2, the SSB cycle transmission count corresponding to N2 is 4, and the SSB cycle transmission count corresponding to N3 is 8.
For the distance range formed by N1 and N2, the resource value set corresponding to the distance range is {2,4}, for the distance range formed by N2 and N3, the resource value set corresponding to the distance range is {4,8}, for the distance range formed by N1, the resource value set corresponding to the distance range is {2}, and for the distance range formed by N3 and N1, the resource value set corresponding to the distance range is {8 }.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present application, for a resource whose resource value may be a non-integer, in this step, the resource value set corresponding to any distance range determined represents: and when the distance between the target satellite and the gateway belongs to the distance range, the value of the resource is from the minimum resource value to the maximum resource value in the resource value set.
For the resource whose resource value can only take integer, in this step, the resource value set corresponding to any one determined distance range represents: when the distance between the target satellite and the gateway belongs to the distance range, the value of the resource is any integer resource value from the minimum resource value to the maximum resource value in the resource value set.
No matter whether the resource value can be an integer or not, under the condition that only one resource value is included in the resource value set corresponding to the distance range, when the distance between the target satellite and the gateway belongs to the distance range, the minimum value of the resource value is the resource value in the resource value set.
In this embodiment, the union of the resource value sets respectively corresponding to all the distance ranges is used as the value range of the target satellite in the resource. For multiple resources, the value range of the target satellite under each resource, and the system overhead range are shown in table 1 below. For any resource, under the condition that the target satellite takes any value in the value range of the resource, the system overhead value represents the percentage of the downlink physical layer resource overhead in the total resource quantity of the downlink physical layer or the percentage of the uplink physical layer resource overhead in the total resource quantity of the uplink physical layer.

It should be noted that, the process of determining the distance range and the resource value set corresponding to each distance range is determined by taking a target satellite as an example, and certainly, in practice, other satellites establishing a communication link with the gateway station may also be used as reference satellites to determine the distance range and the resource value set corresponding to each distance range.
The demodulation performance required by the terminal in the coverage area of the satellite whose distance from the gateway belongs to the distance range can be ensured as long as the minimum resource value in the resource value set corresponding to each distance range is the smallest, and in at least part of the obtained distance ranges, the smaller the minimum distance value in the distance range is, the smaller the minimum resource value in the resource value set corresponding to the distance range is, so as to ensure that the resource value configured by the satellite whose distance from the gateway is the smaller is smaller.
