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 obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without making any creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present application.

The related art and the findings related to the present invention will be first explained below.

In a satellite mobile communication system, signaling or services both need to use wireless resources, which mainly include: carrier, frequency, bandwidth, channel, power, etc. When the terminal access point beam establishes signaling/service, the gateway station needs to allocate uplink and downlink wireless resources to the terminal. Different types of signaling/traffic require different types of radio resources to be allocated. The larger the number of terminals, the more radio resources are required.

As shown in fig. 1, the conventional service establishment process of the satellite mobile communication system specifically includes:

firstly, when the system is initialized, the operation and control system allocates pre-allocated wireless resource information (broadcast channel, control channel, traffic channel, etc.) to the spot beam.

And secondly, activating spot beams according to the wireless resources configured by the operation and control system.

The spot beam activation process includes 3 parts:

1) a spot beam setup procedure.

The method mainly comprises the step of creating frequency point example information of spot beams on the GSC and GTS sides.

2) Channel (broadcast channel, common control channel, dedicated control channel, etc.) setup procedures contained under the spot beam.

The spot beam channel instance information is mainly created on the GSC and GTS sides.

3) System information broadcast procedure of spot beam.

The GSC mainly notifies information such as a common control channel to the terminal through a broadcast channel on the GTS side.

Thirdly, after the terminal reads the system information residence point wave beam, establishing an air interface RRC signaling connection:

1) a terminal initiates an RRC signaling connection establishment request on an uplink common control channel RACH;

2) the GSC transmits the allocated radio resources to the terminal on a downlink common control channel AGCH. The wireless resource distributed to the terminal by the GSC is a dedicated control channel resource or a service resource at the moment;

3) and the terminal sends an RRC signaling establishment completion response to the GSC on the allocated DACCH (dedicated control channel for RRC signaling).

And fourthly, the GSC informs the GCN to establish IU signaling connection corresponding to the terminal.

And fifthly, the GCN informs the GSC to establish service:

1) the GCN sends a service establishment request to the GSC;

2) the GSC allocates wireless resources for the service according to the domain type, rate size, etc. of the service. If the pre-allocated resources of the spot beams cannot meet the service requirement, the GSC applies real-time resources to the operation and control system;

3) the GSC transmits the radio resources allocated to the service to the terminal on a dedicated control channel DACCH.

4) And the terminal sends a service establishment completion response to the GSC on the newly allocated service channel.

The internet of things service is a short data service, and is characterized by small data packets but large user quantity. The inventor finds that the following defects exist when the conventional service establishing scheme based on the satellite mobile communication system realizes the service of the internet of things:

1) the satellite mobile communication system is a forward satellite power-limited system, and the system capacity is limited by the forward satellite power. Although the data volume of the service of the internet of things is not large, the user volume is large, if the service of the internet of things is accessed by using the conventional special control resource or service resource of the satellite mobile communication system, the forward power resource and the system channel resource are seriously insufficient, so that the access success rate of voice/data service and the like is greatly reduced, and the user experience is obviously reduced;

2) the pre-allocation resources allocated to the spot beams by the operation and control system are limited, the quantity of users of the Internet of things is large, the pre-allocation resources cannot meet the resource requirements of the services of the Internet of things, and at the moment, real-time resources need to be applied to the operation and control system. However, the gateway stations and the operation control system do not support networking services in their current interfaces, and therefore, using conventional methods would involve modification of the operation control interface;

3) if the conventional mode is used for accessing the service of the internet of things, the existing standard protocol of the conventional mode also involves modification, and the influence on the supported conventional service is large.

In view of the above, the present application discloses a method and a system for transmitting services of the internet of things for satellite communication, which are used for overcoming the above defects, implementing a system scheme compatible with services of the internet of things on the basis of a conventional service mode, and simultaneously achieving the technical purposes of enabling a satellite mobile communication system to support the services of the internet of things, not occupying more forward power resources of a satellite, not affecting the conventional services, and not modifying an operation control interface and a standard protocol of the conventional mode.

Referring to the architecture diagram of the satellite communication internet of things system shown in fig. 2, in the solution of the present application, a terminal supporting internet of things service is referred to as an internet of things terminal, and an internet of things service server corresponding to a conventional core network GCN is referred to as an internet of things gateway. The access and resource allocation of the internet of things services still need to be processed by GSC and GTS of the gateway station.

In order to realize the compatibility of the internet of things service on the basis of a conventional service mode and achieve the technical purpose, the internet of things channel definition is performed in advance. Specifically, 4 types of channels of the internet of things are newly defined, and the 4 types of channel attributes of the internet of things are all common channels, namely channels shared by users of the internet of things.

The 4 internet of things channels are specifically as follows:

a) downlink channel

The system comprises 3 downlink channels which are respectively as follows: the system information broadcast channel D-BCCH of the Internet of things, the downlink service channel D-AGCH of the Internet of things and the downlink service channel E-DAGCH of the expanded Internet of things.

In this embodiment, the D-BCCH and the D-AGCH do not need to newly occupy downlink carriers, but use the idle frame (BACH4) of the conventional high-penetration paging channel BACH in the satellite mobile communication system to perform the two channel settings, which can specifically compare the channel original frame format of the satellite mobile communication system provided with reference to fig. 3 with the internet-of-things D-BCCH/D-AGCH frame format of the present application in fig. 4.

The D-BCCH/D-AGCH and BACH4 time division multiplex the same physical channel, and the time slot length of the channel is fixed to 10.

The D-BCCH and D-AGCH are in a group of every 8 frames with a cycle period of 32 frames.

In the frame position of BACH4 within 64 frame period, D-BCCH appears once every 32 frames, and the rest BACH4 frames are D-AGCH.

The D-BCCH is used for transmitting Internet of things system information broadcast, and the Internet of things system information broadcast mainly comprises D-RACH channel list information and E-DAGCH channel list information supported by a system. The D-RACH channel list information may include, but is not limited to: the frequency point to which the channel belongs and the initial time slot of the channel; the E-DAGCH is essentially an extended D-AGCH, the purpose of the extended D-AGCH is the same as that of the D-AGCH, the extended D-AGCH is mainly used for carrying downlink signaling and data of the Internet of things, but the E-DAGCH needs to be configured with resources separately and can be used only when the system traffic exceeds the D-AGCH, unlike the existing BACH resources of a D-AGCH multiplexing system. That is, the E-DAGCH is not a mandatory channel, and whether the channel is present may be determined by the satellite capabilities. Normally, the channel is not set, and if the satellite capacity is improved, one to more downlink carriers can be selected from pre-allocated carriers of the operation control system to set the E-DAGCH channel.

The position of the D-AGCH is fixed, and an idle frame BACH4 of a conventional high penetration paging channel BACH in the system is carried, so that the idle frame BACH does not need to be broadcasted to the terminal of the Internet of things.

The D-AGCH/E-DAGCH is mainly used for transmitting downlink signaling/data and acknowledgement information of uplink data.

b) Uplink channel

The method comprises 1 uplink channel, and specifically comprises the following steps: and D-RACH is an uplink traffic channel of the Internet of things.

In implementation, one or more uplink carriers can be selected from carriers pre-allocated to the spot beam by the operation and control system to set the D-RACH channel. The slot length of the D-RACH channel is fixed to 25.

The uplink power of the satellite mobile communication system is not limited, and preferably, a plurality of D-RACH channels can be arranged by combining the characteristic that most of Internet of things services are uplink services.

The D-RACH is mainly used for transmitting uplink signaling/data and acknowledgement information for downlink data.

On this basis, referring to a schematic flow chart of a service transmission method of the internet of things for satellite communication provided in the embodiment of the present application shown in fig. 5, the method includes:

step 501, establishing spot beams; when the spot beam is established, at least the carrier information of the D-RACH of the uplink traffic channel of the Internet of things is added in the spot beam carrier example created by the gateway controller GSC and the GTS side of the gateway transceiver station.

The method for establishing the spot beam mainly comprises the steps that after an operation control system configures pre-allocated wireless resource information (a broadcast channel, a control channel, a service channel and the like) to the spot beam, a carrier instance of the spot beam is created on the GSC and the GTS side. The carrier example mainly includes information such as spot beams to which the frequency points belong, frequency point numbers, maximum transmission power of the carrier, time slot lists contained in the frequency points, time slot states and the like.

In order to realize compatibility of the internet of things service on the basis of a conventional service mode and achieve the technical purpose, in the embodiment of the application, carrier information of the D-RACH and the E-DAGCH is further added in the established carrier example. In implementation, one or more carriers can be selected as service carriers of the internet of things from the pre-allocated wireless resources when the operation control system of the satellite mobile communication system configures the spot beams.

Wherein the E-DAGCH is not an optional channel, whether the channel is present or not may be determined by the capability of the visible satellite.

Step 502, establishing an internet of things channel at the GSC and GTS sides based on the established spot beam; the information of the channel of the Internet of things corresponding to the channel of the Internet of things at least comprises the information of the D-RACH channel carried by the carrier information of the D-RACH.

The process of establishing the internet of things channel specifically comprises the following steps:

conventional channels (e.g., broadcast channels, common control channels, dedicated control channels, etc.) of the satellite mobile communications system are established.

The conventional channel of the satellite mobile communication system is established, mainly channel instance information of spot beams is created at the GSC and GTS sides, and the channel instance information may include, but is not limited to, information of a frequency point to which the channel belongs, a channel type, channel slot resources (a starting slot, a slot length), a transmission address and a port of the channel, and the like.

Thereafter, the establishment of an instance of an Internet of things channel is further added between the GSC and the GTS. In implementation, one or more carriers can be selected as the service carrier of the internet of things from the radio resources pre-allocated when the operation control system of the satellite mobile communication system configures the spot beam, and further, a D-RACH and an E-DAGCH are set on the service carrier of the internet of things, the D-RACH channel information is carried on the D-RACH carrier, and the E-DAGCH channel information is carried on the E-DAGCH carrier, so that the establishment of the channel instance of the internet of things is realized. See in particular fig. 6.

Of course, the E-DAGCH is not an optional channel, whether or not this channel is present may be determined by the satellite capabilities.

If the establishment of the Internet of things channel fails, the normal use of the spot beam is not influenced.

Step 503, the GTS performs internet-of-things dedicated system information broadcast based on a broadcast channel set on an idle physical resource of a predetermined paging channel in the satellite mobile communication system, and at least indicates whether the spot beam supports an internet-of-things service based on a conventional system information broadcast of the satellite mobile communication system; when supporting, the channel information of the internet of things is contained in the special system information of the internet of things for broadcasting.

Specifically, a reserved field in the broadcast control channel BCCH of the satellite mobile communication system conventional system information broadcast may be utilized to indicate whether the spot beam supports the underlay networking traffic and to indicate whether the spot beam supports the extended E-DAGCH channel. For example, a reserved field in the broadcast control channel BCCH sets a D-BCCH presence identity, an E-DAGCH presence identity to indicate that the spot beam supports the support of networking traffic, and supports extended E-DAGCH channels, etc.

If the spot beam supports the internet of things service, specific internet of things channel information needs to be included in the special system information of the internet of things for broadcasting.

The special system information broadcast of the Internet of things is carried on the D-BCCH, and the GTS sends the information broadcast to the terminal once every 32 frames. The D-BCCH does not need to newly occupy downlink carriers, but utilizes an idle frame (BACH4) of a conventional high penetration paging channel BACH in the satellite mobile communication system to set, namely, in the implementation, the idle frame (BACH4) of the conventional high penetration paging channel BACH can be used as idle physical resources of the preset paging channel to set a special system information broadcast channel of the Internet of things.

The conventional terminal keeps unchanged the processing of the reserved field in the conventional system information broadcast; and the terminal of the Internet of things reads the field value of the reserved field, if the terminal discovers that the spot beam supports the Internet of things service based on the field value of the reserved field, the terminal reads the information broadcast of the special system of the Internet of things at the moment when the D-BCCH appears, obtains the list information of the D-RACH channel and the list information of the E-DAGCH channel (because the E-DAGCH is not a necessary channel, the list of the E-DAGCH channel does not exist), and further obtains the information of the D-RACH channel and the information of the E-DAGCH channel based on the list information of the D-RACH channel and the list information of the E-DAGCH channel.

And step 504, if the spot beam supports the Internet of things service, the Internet of things terminal performs network access registration based on the Internet of things uplink service channel D-RACH indicated by the D-RACH channel information in the Internet of things special system information.

After the spot-beam support networking service is obtained by reading the field value of the reserved field, the internet of things terminal can further perform network access registration based on the D-RACH.

Referring to fig. 6, the process of network entry registration may include:

1) the Internet of things terminal sends a registration request on the D-RACH, and the GSC forwards the registration request of the Internet of things terminal to the Internet of things gateway;

2) the gateway of the Internet of things sends an authentication request, and the GSC forwards the authentication request to the terminal of the Internet of things through the D-AGCH;

the authentication request is used for requesting validity check of the terminal of the Internet of things.

The authentication request mainly carries the identification of the terminal of the internet of things and the RAND sequence used by the authentication algorithm.

3) The Internet of things terminal responds to the authentication request and sends an authentication response through the D-RACH, and the GSC forwards the authentication response of the Internet of things terminal to the Internet of things gateway;

4) the gateway of the Internet of things performs validity check on the terminal of the Internet of things based on the authentication response, and sends a registration response comprising a temporary identifier after the validity check is passed; the GSC forwards the registration response to the Internet of things terminal through the D-AGCH;

after the terminal of the Internet of things receives the authentication request, the authentication value is calculated according to the RAND sequence carried in the authentication request, then the authentication value is forwarded to the gateway through the GSC in the authentication response, the gateway judges whether the authentication value carried by the terminal is consistent with that locally calculated by the gateway, if so, the terminal of the Internet of things passes the validity check, otherwise, the terminal of the Internet of things does not pass the validity check.

5) The terminal of the Internet of things stores the temporary identifier and finishes registration; and after the registration is finished, the Internet of things terminal transmits data with the Internet of things gateway based on the temporary identifier.

And 505, after the registration is completed, the terminal of the internet of things transmits uplink data based on the D-RACH, and/or receives downlink data transmitted by the gateway of the internet of things on the basis of the internet of things downlink service channel D-AGCH preset on the idle physical resource of the preset paging channel on the GSC side.

Specifically, in uplink data transmission, the internet of things terminal sends uplink data such as an uplink service data packet, uplink signaling or downlink data confirmation information and the like on the D-RACH based on a temporary identifier distributed during network access registration, and the GSC sends the received uplink data to the internet of things gateway; if the service transmission is in the acknowledged mode, the service data packet may be segmented at the terminal side, and the GSC needs to reassemble the segments into a complete service packet.

If the uplink service data packet needs to be confirmed, the gateway of the Internet of things carries confirmation information in the downlink data transmission message, and the GSC forwards the message to the terminal of the Internet of things through the D-AGCH.

In downlink data transmission, the gateway of the internet of things sends downlink data according to requirements, and the content of the downlink data may be confirmation information of an uplink service data packet, or may be a downlink service data packet or a downlink signaling. The GSC forwards the downlink data to the Internet of things terminal through the D-AGCH; if the service transmission is in the acknowledged mode, the GSC may need to segment the data packet of the downlink data, and send the data packet to the internet of things terminal on the D-AGCH multiple times.

When the system traffic exceeds the carrying capacity of the D-AGCH, the terminal of the Internet of things can specifically receive downlink data transmitted by the gateway of the Internet of things on the basis of the D-AGCH or the E-DAGCH on the GSC side.

The method and the device utilize the physical resource of the idle high-penetration paging channel BACH4 in the satellite mobile communication system to set the physical resource as a downlink Internet of things channel and an Internet of things broadcast channel, so that the downlink power of the satellite is not increased; since the uplink power of the satellite mobile communication system is not limited, the uplink internet of things channel can be flexibly added according to the actual use requirement. Moreover, based on the scheme of the application, when the internet of things terminal receives and transmits the internet of things service data, the air interface does not need an RRC connection establishment process and an RB establishment process any more, and the service data can be directly transmitted on an uplink/downlink internet of things channel as long as the internet of things terminal is registered in the internet of things gateway, so that the signaling overhead and the service access delay are reduced, and the utilization rate of system resources is improved.

In addition, the expansion of the downlink Internet of things channel is considered, if the satellite capacity is improved in the future, the reserved field can be further utilized in the BCCH to indicate the beam of the Internet of things terminal point to support the expansion of the downlink Internet of things channel, so that more Internet of things terminals can be allowed to access, and the capacity of the Internet of things service of the system is improved.
