Description

Method and device for indicating satellite coverage information
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of satellite communication, in particular to a method and equipment for indicating satellite coverage information.
Background
To achieve global coverage, most Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communication constellation systems employ polar or near polar orbits. For example, 77 satellites are adopted in the iridium constellation design, the orbit is a near polar orbit, the inclination angle of the orbit is 86.4 degrees, finally, the networking operation is composed of 66 satellites, and the schematic diagram of the polar orbit is shown in fig. 1.
The satellite travels around the earth once per turn through the south and north regions of the earth. For a low-orbit constellation with a small number of satellites, the number of satellites on each orbital plane is small, the interval is large, the satellites on a plurality of orbital planes can be prevented from passing through the bipolar region in a concentrated manner by designing that the time of each orbital plane satellite passing through the bipolar region is different, and the interference condition of the bipolar region is improved in such a manner. Or an inclined orbit is adopted, as shown in fig. 1, an included angle exists between the orbit surface and the polar orbit, so that the satellite is prevented from directly passing through the two polar regions, and the mutual interference of the polar regions is reduced.
For large low-orbit LEO communication constellation systems, hundreds or even thousands of polar satellites are typically included, and each satellite on each orbital plane passes through north and south regions. With the increase of the number of the orbital planes, the number of satellites passing through the south and north polar regions is rapidly increased, so that the ground coverage areas of a plurality of satellites are seriously overlapped, the satellite communication interference in the two polar regions is serious, and even the normal communication of a ground terminal is influenced.
Fig. 2 shows the distribution of the normal coverage of satellite cells, and non-adjacent cells can be frequency-multiplexed. Fig. 3 shows the overlapping coverage of satellite cells in two polar regions, and the original frequency division multiplexing strategy may fail due to the overlapping coverage of the cells, resulting in severe co-channel interference in the overlapping region. Fig. 3 illustrates 7 satellite cells, for example, whose overlapping coverage is already severe. For a large low-orbit constellation of 60 satellites per orbital plane with 20 orbital planes, counting from 80 ° north latitude to the north pole in the north pole region, there may be 66 satellites distributed in the region at the same time, resulting in very severe overlapping coverage.
In general, when a communication constellation system operates, in a region with serious ground coverage overlap, interference can be reduced or avoided by turning off signals of part of satellite cells. Under the condition that the satellite constellation operates dynamically, how to timely and accurately inform the closed satellite cells or the available satellite cells in the network has an important influence on the normal operation of the system.

Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the application described herein may be implemented, for example, in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

As described in the background art, for polar orbit or near polar orbit low orbit constellation systems with a small number of satellites, the number of satellites passing through two polar regions can be controlled by designing the positions of the satellites on different orbital planes, and the interference situation of the two polar regions is improved. In the overlapping coverage area, the ground interference is reduced by turning off the satellite signal or turning off part of the beam. Because the current low-orbit mobile constellation such as an iridium satellite system works in an L frequency band, a terminal antenna is wide-beam and near-omnidirectional, and the relative position relation between a terminal and a satellite cell does not need to be considered in the network communication process. Under the condition of not influencing the overall coverage of a constellation, partial beams or satellite signals are closed in a bipolar area coverage overlapping area, and a network does not need to inform a terminal of the available condition of a satellite cell.
In a low-earth orbit satellite broadband constellation system, in order to provide broadband data access similar to an optical fiber, the satellite system generally operates in a high frequency band, and a beam forming antenna is adopted, so that the beam directivity is strong. The ground terminal has high working frequency and narrow beam range, and the terminal needs to obtain the relative position relation with a satellite when accessing a network or switching between satellites. In a region with serious coverage overlap of two poles and the like, interference can be reduced by turning off a satellite or a beam, but information of an available cell in the current region of the terminal needs to be informed in a network so that the terminal can judge the position of the available satellite and normally communicate with the network through the available satellite cell.
In order to solve at least one of the above problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for indicating satellite coverage information, where a network notifies a terminal of relevant information of an available satellite cell in a current overlapping coverage area, so as to assist the terminal to access the network, and ensure communication reliability of the terminal in the area. Fig. 4 is a flowchart of the method when applied to a network-side device, where the network-side device may specifically be a core network device and/or a gateway station. For example, in a case where the network side device is a core network device, when the core network device executes the flow shown in fig. 4, the core network device may send actual coverage information, which is described below, to the target terminal through the gateway station and the satellite. In the case where the network-side device is a gateway station, the gateway station may transmit actual coverage information described below to a target terminal via a satellite. In the case where the network-side device includes a core network device and a gateway station, the flow of fig. 4 may be executed by cooperation of the core network device and the gateway station.
As shown in fig. 4, the method for indicating satellite coverage information according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a network device, and includes:
step 41, obtaining basic coverage information of a communication constellation system in a target coverage area, where the basic coverage information is used to indicate a coverage capability of the communication constellation system in the target coverage area.
Here, the basic coverage information of the communication constellation system in the target coverage area may be generated according to a design scheme of the satellite communication constellation system and a management and control policy of a satellite cell in the target coverage area. The target coverage area is an area where the predetermined satellite cell overlapping coverage exceeds a preset threshold, for example, an area near two poles, and these areas are areas where coverage of a plurality of satellite cells overlap. The base coverage information may reflect coverage information and variation rules of the target coverage area, and the coverage information may include available satellite and/or beam information.
Specifically, the basic coverage information may include:
1) A satellite identification, such as a satellite ID.
2) Optional out-of-service times when a satellite passes through the target coverage area, such as: 5 minutes, 8 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.
3) And the selectable shutdown strategy of the satellite of each orbital plane when passing through the target coverage area, such as strategy 0, strategy 1, strategy 2, a custom strategy and the like, is defaulted to strategy 0. Another example is as follows: continuously closing 2 stars and keeping 1 star, etc.
And 42, generating actual coverage information relative to the basic coverage information for the target coverage area according to the current operating condition of the communication constellation system.
Here, as an implementation manner, the embodiment of the present invention may calculate, according to a current operating condition of a communication constellation system, an available satellite cell condition of a target coverage area at a current time, compare the available satellite cell condition with the basic coverage information, and count difference information inconsistent with the basic coverage information, so as to form actual coverage information relative to the basic coverage information, where the actual coverage information is used to indicate an actual coverage condition of a satellite cell of the target coverage area on the basis of the basic coverage information.
According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, the network side device may determine the available satellite cells in the target coverage area according to the current operating condition of the communication constellation system; actual coverage information including available satellite cells and/or unavailable satellite cells is then generated based on the base coverage information based on the available satellite cells.
Specifically, the actual coverage information includes one or more of the following information:
1) Actual out-of-service times when the satellite passes through the target coverage area, the actual out-of-service times selected from the selectable out-of-service times.
Here, in order to reduce signaling overhead, the actual out-of-service time may be represented by an index of a corresponding time value in the base coverage information table.
2) An actual shutdown strategy for each orbital plane satellite as it passes through the target coverage area, the actual shutdown strategy selected from the selectable shutdown strategies.
Here, in order to reduce signaling overhead, the actual shutdown policy may be represented by an index of the corresponding shutdown policy in the basic coverage information table.
3) A custom out-of-service time for the satellite to pass through the target coverage area, the custom out-of-service time being different from the selectable out-of-service time.
4) A custom shutdown strategy for each orbital plane satellite as it passes through the target coverage area, the custom shutdown strategy being different from the selectable shutdown strategies.
5) The information that changes with respect to the basic coverage information may include information that does not exist in the basic service information, information that does not correspond to the basic service information, and the like. For example, it is assumed that the optional out-of-service time is only 5 minutes and 10 minutes, but the out-of-service time adopted by the current system is 12 minutes, and since 12 minutes do not exist in the base coverage information, it is information that changes with respect to the base coverage information.
And 43, sending the actual coverage information to the target terminal.
Here, the network side device may send the actual coverage information to the target terminal through a satellite, and the target terminal may include a user terminal in or around the target coverage area. The size of the range around the target coverage area may be set according to factors such as the coverage area of the satellite cell and the movement speed of the user terminal, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
Through the steps, the embodiment of the invention realizes that the actual coverage information of the target coverage area is provided for the terminal, and the terminal can determine the currently available satellite cell of the target coverage area based on the actual coverage information and the pre-obtained basic coverage information, and then connects or switches to the available satellite cell, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of terminal communication in a dynamically operating satellite constellation system. In addition, in step 43, the embodiment of the present invention only needs to send the actual coverage information corresponding to the basic coverage information, and does not need to send complete basic coverage information, so that the available satellite cells can be effectively indicated, the signaling overhead of the network can be reduced, and the normal communication of the user terminal in the target coverage area is ensured.
It should be noted that the basic coverage information in the embodiment of the present invention may be information bound in advance on the terminal side, and in this case, it is not necessary to transmit the information through the network. As an alternative, the basic coverage information may be transmitted to the terminal from the network, and since the basic coverage information does not change frequently, the basic coverage information usually needs to be transmitted only once when the terminal accesses the satellite system. When a subsequent terminal accesses the satellite system, the network side equipment can inquire whether the terminal has the basic coverage information stored locally or not and check the version number of the basic coverage information, when the terminal has the basic coverage information of the latest version, the network side equipment does not need to send the basic coverage information to the terminal, otherwise, the network side equipment sends the basic coverage information to the terminal when the terminal is accessed.
In addition, in the case where the transmission of the basic coverage information is changed, the embodiment of the present invention may also transmit the changed basic coverage information to the terminal. In addition, in order to reduce signaling overhead, when the changed base coverage information is transmitted, only the changed part of the base coverage information may be transmitted.
According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, the network side device may send the basic coverage information to the target terminal by using a dedicated signaling and/or a downlink data channel.
According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, when sending the actual coverage information, the network side device may send the actual coverage information to the target terminal through a downlink broadcast message, or through a customized dedicated signaling, or through an existing signaling. The downlink broadcast message includes, but is not limited to, a System Information Block (SIB) message, and the signaling includes, but is not limited to, radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, downlink Control Information (DCI), and a medium access control layer control element (MAC CE).
Referring to fig. 5, a method for indicating satellite coverage information according to an embodiment of the present invention, when applied to a terminal side, includes:
and step 51, receiving the actual coverage information of the communication constellation system in the target coverage area, which is sent by the network side device.
Here, the actual coverage information is coverage information generated for the target coverage area relative to the basic coverage information according to the current operating condition of the communication constellation system; the basic coverage information is used for indicating the coverage capability of the communication constellation system in the target coverage area.
