The embodiment provided by the application can be applied to Non Terrestrial Network (NTN). Wherein, the NTN provides communication service for the ground user by adopting a satellite communication mode. Satellite communications have many unique advantages over terrestrial cellular communications. First, satellite communication is not limited by user regions, for example, general terrestrial communication cannot cover regions where communication equipment cannot be set up, such as the sea, mountains, desert, and the like, or communication coverage is not performed due to sparse population, and for satellite communication, since one satellite can cover a large ground and the satellite can orbit around the earth, theoretically every corner on the earth can be covered by satellite communication. Second, satellite communication has great social value. Satellite communication can be covered in remote mountainous areas, poor and laggard countries or areas with lower cost, so that people in the areas can enjoy advanced voice communication and mobile internet technology, the digital gap between the areas is favorably reduced and developed, and the development of the areas is promoted. Thirdly, the satellite communication distance is long, and the cost of communication is not obviously increased when the communication distance is increased; and finally, the satellite communication has high stability and is not limited by natural disasters.
Communication satellites are classified into LEO (Low-Earth Orbit) satellites, MEO (Medium-Earth Orbit) satellites, GEO (Geostationary Orbit) satellites, HEO (High elliptic Orbit) satellites, and the like according to the difference in orbital altitude. Wherein the content of the first and second substances,
LEO, low orbit satellite altitude range is 500 km-1500 km, and the corresponding orbit period is about 1.5 hours-2 hours. The signal propagation delay for inter-user single-hop communications is typically less than 20 ms. Maximum satellite visibility time 20 minutes. The signal propagation distance is short, the link loss is less, and the requirement on the transmitting power of the user terminal is not high.
GEO, a geosynchronous orbiting satellite, with an orbital altitude of 35786km and a period of 24 hours of rotation around the earth. The signal propagation delay for inter-user single-hop communications is typically 250 ms.
In order to ensure the coverage of the satellite and improve the system capacity of the whole satellite communication system, the satellite adopts multiple beams to cover the ground, and one satellite can form dozens of or even hundreds of beams to cover the ground; one satellite beam may cover a ground area several tens to hundreds of kilometers in diameter.
In the related art, in the ground cellular network communication system, for example, in the 5G communication system, a base station configures measurement for a UE, and the UE reports a measurement result, where the related measurement result is used to configure a measured base station for the UE, and determine whether to perform handover on the UE. That is, the decision of the base station after receiving the existing measurement report is for a certain UE. And after the base station receives the measurement result, the measurement result can only be used by the base station.
The main flow of the handover is shown in fig. 4, and mainly includes:
a switching preparation phase comprising steps 1-6 in the figure, wherein the first network equipment (namely the source base station) sends measurement control to the terminal equipment; after the terminal equipment measures a plurality of network equipment or cells, the terminal equipment sends a measurement report to the first network equipment; the first network device makes a handover decision based on the measurement report (or in combination with RRM information); the first network device sends a handover request to the second network device (i.e., the target base station) to prepare the second network device for handover; the second network equipment performs switching permission control according to the switching request; and when the second network equipment determines to carry out switching, the second network equipment sends a switching request confirmation to the first network equipment.
Then, a switching execution phase is performed, which includes steps 7-11 in the figure, specifically: the second network equipment generates a switching request confirmation, sends switching request confirmation information to the first network equipment, and sends the switching request confirmation information to the terminal equipment through RRC connection reconfiguration information by the first network equipment; after receiving the RRC connection reconfiguration information, the terminal equipment executes switching processing according to the connection reconfiguration information; then the first network equipment sends SN state transmission to the second network equipment; and the terminal equipment synchronizes with the second network equipment, receives the UL resource distributed by the second network equipment and sends RRC connection reconfiguration completion information to the second network equipment.
Finally, entering a switching completion stage, including 12-18 in the figure, specifically: the second network equipment sends a path switching request to the MME to inform the MME that the terminal equipment changes the cell; MME sends a load adjustment request to a service gateway, and MME carries out downlink path switching processing; after the service gateway finishes the processing, the service gateway sends bearer adjustment finishing processing to the MME, and the MME sends a confirmation message of the path switching request to the second network equipment; the second network device informs the first network device of the release of the terminal device context and the release of the resource by the first network device.
In the NTN scenario applied in this embodiment, if a similar handover management scheme in the related art is also adopted, the terminal device may perform interaction of content such as measurement reporting to the satellite side frequently due to the change of the position of the satellite.
Therefore, the solution provided in this embodiment transmits the measurement information to the first satellite which is operated to the target spatial position later through the second satellite which is in situ at the target spatial position (i.e. the second satellite is operated to the outside of the target spatial position from the inside of the target spatial position on the satellite operation track), or the network device, or one or more different satellites which are positioned on the satellite operation track and are other than the first satellite and the second satellite, and the first satellite performs subsequent management based on the measurement information of the terminal device. Therefore, the times of measurement reporting of the terminal equipment are reduced, and the overhead of air interface signaling is reduced.
In the embodiment provided by the present invention, the communication device may include one of:
a network device in communication with the plurality of different satellites and/or the target terminal device;
a second satellite, wherein the second satellite comprises: the satellite which runs from the inside of the target space position to the outside of the target space position on the satellite running track;
one or more different satellites other than the first satellite and the second satellite in the satellite trajectory.
In the solution provided in this embodiment, the method further includes:
the communication equipment informs the information of the configured at least one space position to the satellite on the satellite orbit and/or informs the mapping relation between the configured at least one space position and the satellite to the satellite;
wherein the at least one spatial location comprises the target spatial location.
The method may further include the following processing for the first satellite and the second satellite, or any other satellite in the satellite orbit:
acquiring information of at least one configured space position and/or a mapping relation between the at least one space position and a satellite;
wherein the at least one spatial location comprises the target spatial location.
In other words, one or more satellites located in the satellite trajectory may each have pre-acquired information of the configured at least one spatial location and/or mapping relationship between the at least one spatial location and the satellite.
In addition, the information of the at least one spatial position and/or the mapping relationship between the at least one spatial position and the satellite may be transmitted by a network device, or may be one or more satellites sharing the same satellite trajectory. One or more of the plurality of satellites may be any one, or any plurality of, or one or more selected by the network side.
Wherein each of the at least one spatial position may be understood as a target spatial position.
The information of the spatial position comprises at least one of: an identification of the spatial location, a spatial coordinate of the spatial location.
At this time, each satellite can determine the spatial position corresponding to itself according to the position where it is located.
For example, when the information of the spatial position includes the spatial coordinates of the spatial position, the satellite may determine the spatial position of the satellite according to the coordinates of the spatial position and the coordinates of the satellite. When the information of the spatial position further includes the identifier of the spatial position, the satellite can further determine the identifier of the spatial position corresponding to the position where the satellite is located.
Alternatively, the information of different spatial positions may be transmitted to satellites at different spatial positions, respectively. Accordingly, the satellite can determine the spatial position of the satellite directly according to the information of the spatial position sent by the network device.
For example, the information of the spatial position may be transmitted only for the satellites included in each spatial position. In order to understand each spatial position as a target spatial position, the network device may send information of the target spatial position only to the satellite located at the target spatial position, and the satellite located at the target spatial position may determine coordinates and spatial positions of a space where the satellite is located. Accordingly, the satellite receiving the information of the target spatial location may each serve as the second satellite in the target spatial location.
Further, the mapping relationship between the spatial position and the satellite includes: at least one of the information of the spatial position, an identification of at least one satellite corresponding to the spatial position.
For example, a mapping between an identification of a spatial location and an identification of at least one satellite; or a mapping relationship between the spatial coordinates of the spatial location and the identity of the at least one satellite; still alternatively, the mapping relationship between the spatial coordinates of the spatial location, the identification, and the identification of the at least one satellite may be used.
The satellite may be informed of the full spatial position to satellite mapping, or the communication device may inform only the second satellite at the target spatial position of the target spatial position to satellite mapping. Wherein the target spatial location is one of all spatial locations.
If all the mapping relationships between the spatial positions and the satellites are transmitted for all the satellites, each satellite determines the corresponding mapping relationship according to the spatial position where the satellite is located, for example, if the satellite 1 is in the mapping relationship between the spatial position 1 and the satellite, it can be determined that the satellite is located in the spatial position 1. If a satellite at a certain spatial position only transmits the mapping relationship between the spatial position and the satellite, the satellite can directly determine the spatial position of the satellite according to the mapping relationship between the spatial position and the satellite transmitted by the network device.
In this embodiment, each spatial position may be understood as a target spatial position, and a satellite located at each spatial position may be understood as a second satellite of the spatial position. In this embodiment, each spatial position may be understood as a target spatial position, and one or more of the plurality of satellites located at each spatial position may be understood as a second satellite of the spatial position.
The scheme provided by the present embodiment is described in detail below with reference to various examples:
examples 1, 1,
In the case that the communication device is a second satellite, the communication device, that is, the second satellite, may also perform measurement configuration for the terminal device, receive the measurement result sent by the target terminal device, and obtain measurement information of the target terminal device based on the measurement result.
In a case that the communication device is a network device or one or more different satellites other than the first satellite and the second satellite in the satellite trajectory, the obtaining, by the communication device, measurement information of a target terminal device includes: and the communication equipment receives the measurement information of the target terminal equipment sent by the second satellite.
That is, in this example, the second satellite transmits the measurement information of the terminal device to the network device, or one or more different satellites except the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite trajectory, the network device, or one or more different satellites except the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite trajectory transmits the measurement information to the first satellite, and the first satellite corrects the measurement information to obtain a correction result of the measurement information.
Referring to fig. 5, the first satellite, the second satellite, and the communication device are taken as network devices for detailed description; it should be noted that, in this example, the network device may be replaced by one or more different satellites other than the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite trajectory. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
step 1: the network equipment configures a target space position, wherein the target space position is an absolute area relative to the ground and corresponds to at least a partial area in the satellite motion trail.
Specifically, the network device configures a target spatial position for a satellite on a satellite trajectory.
The network device may be an Operation, Maintenance and Administration (OAM) device.
Alternatively, the network devices in this step may instead share any one of the same motion trajectories, or a particular satellite or satellites. The specific reference refers to a certain satellite in a satellite running track, which is configured in advance, and the certain satellite can be configured by a manager through network equipment, or can be configured by the network equipment according to an actual situation, for example, a certain satellite with a small data processing or data transmission amount can be selected as the specific satellite. In addition, any one of the above-mentioned satellites refers to one of all satellites in the satellite orbit, and may be randomly selected, and any satellite may include the above-mentioned second satellite, and of course, may also include the above-mentioned first satellite, and may also be any one of the above-mentioned satellites in the satellite orbit except the first satellite and the second satellite. And will not be described in detail herein.
Optionally, the network device notifies the configured target spatial position (which may include a position identifier, spatial coordinates, etc.), and/or a mapping relationship between the target spatial position and the satellite to at least one satellite. Further, the network device may also notify at least one satellite of all configured spatial positions and the mapping relationship between the spatial positions and the satellites.
In this example, the following description is made only with respect to one second satellite in the target spatial position.
Step 2: when a second satellite is positioned at a target space position, the second satellite carries out measurement configuration on target terminal equipment;
the target terminal device is as follows:
one of the one or more terminal devices determined by the second satellite;
or one or more terminal devices located within the coverage area of the second satellite.
Specifically, the second satellite determines one or more terminal devices as the target terminal device according to the position information, the positioning information and the like reported by the terminal devices.
The one or more terminal devices determined by the second satellite may be a specific terminal device determined by the second satellite, or may be a plurality of specific terminal devices. The specific terminal device may be one or more terminal devices within the determined terrestrial coordinates or range.
The measurement configuration is used for the second satellite to acquire the channel quality information of the adjacent cell of the target terminal device, or used for the second satellite to execute switching judgment on the target terminal device.
Because the satellite is moving, the second satellites corresponding to the target space positions at different times can be the same or different, that is, the identifications of the satellites/base stations at the target space positions at different times are different; for example, satellite 3 is in the target spatial location for a period of time, where satellite 3 is the second satellite; during another time, satellite 6 is in the target spatial position, and satellite 6 is now the first satellite, i.e., the second satellite after the replacement.
And step 3: according to the measurement configuration, when a measurement reporting condition is met, if the RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power) of a third satellite and a fourth satellite (namely, the motion trail of the third satellite is the same as that of the second satellite and only the arrival time of the satellite at the same target space position is different from that of the second satellite) is greater than a threshold A, the target terminal equipment reports the measurement result to the second satellite; or, if the RSRP of the third satellite is less than the threshold B, the target terminal device reports the measurement result to the second satellite.
Wherein the measurement result may include: the identification of the satellite measured by the target terminal device and the communication quality parameter value of the satellite measured by the target terminal device. The communication Quality parameter may be RSRP, RSRQ (Reference Signal Receiving Quality), SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio), etc.
And 4, step 4: a second satellite receives a measurement result sent by target terminal equipment and determines measurement information of the target terminal equipment; and the second satellite sends the measurement information of the target terminal equipment to network equipment.
The measurement information may be the same as or different from the measurement result.
Wherein the measurement information of the target terminal device may include: the identification of the satellite measured by the target terminal device and the communication quality parameter value of the satellite measured by the target terminal device.
Optionally, when the second satellite notifies the network device of the measurement information of the target terminal device, the measurement information of the target terminal device may also simultaneously carry an identifier of the target spatial position and/or an identifier of the second satellite.
Or, if the measurement information of the target terminal device does not carry the identification information, the network device may self-confirm the satellite identification corresponding to the measurement information or the identification of the corresponding location. When the network device determines the satellite information corresponding to the measurement information of the target terminal device or the identifier of the target spatial position by itself, the network device may determine whether the target terminal device corresponds to the second satellite from at least one terminal device managed by the satellite, and then determine the identifier of the target spatial position based on the spatial position and the mapping relationship of the satellite.
And 5: when the first satellite runs to the target space position and runs from the target space position to the outside of the target space position, the network equipment sends the measurement information to the first satellite. Accordingly, the first satellite operating to the target spatial position receives the measurement information of the target terminal device transmitted by the communication device.
Here, the determination that the second satellite is replaced with the first satellite, that is, the first satellite is operated to the target spatial position and is operated to the target spatial position within the target spatial position, may be determined by the network device, may be determined by the second satellite, or may be determined by one or more different satellites other than the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite operation trajectory.
If the terminal device is determined by the network device or one or more different satellites except the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite orbit, the measurement information of the terminal device sent by the second satellite can be directly sent to the first satellite by the network device or one or more different satellites except the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite orbit;
if the second satellite determines the terminal device, the second satellite may notify the network device of the change information, or one or more different satellites other than the first satellite and the second satellite in the satellite orbit, and then the network device or one or more different satellites other than the first satellite and the second satellite in the satellite orbit may send the measurement information of the terminal device to the first satellite.
Specifically, the method for updating the satellite for determining the target spatial position from the second satellite to the first satellite may be according to ephemeris, for example, a plurality of satellites located in the same satellite orbit may be known based on the ephemeris, and since the moving speed of the satellite is known in advance, the time when the second satellite moves out of the target spatial position may be determined, and the time when one satellite moves into the target spatial position may also be determined; it is thus possible to determine the first satellite that moved into the target spatial location while the second satellite moved out of the target spatial location.
Step 6: the first satellite receives measurement information sent by network equipment, and corrects the measurement information corresponding to the target terminal equipment to obtain a correction result of the measurement information; and the first satellite manages the target terminal equipment according to the correction result of the measurement information.
Wherein the correcting the measurement information corresponding to the target terminal device includes:
and the first satellite corrects the communication quality measurement value in the measurement information of the target terminal equipment and the identifier of the satellite corresponding to the communication quality measurement value.
Specifically, the correction process may be performed based on information such as a mapping relationship between the target spatial position and the satellite and/or ephemeris.
At this time, each satellite needs to know information of a plurality of satellites sharing the same satellite motion trail, such as how ephemeris exists among several satellites. This has the advantage of avoiding the complexity of the network device.
For example, the first satellite alters the satellite identification, such as based on the satellite's motion trajectory (ephemeris). For example, there are three satellites sharing a satellite motion trajectory, and the sequence of the three satellites moving to the target spatial position is ID1,2, 3. The measurement results reported by the first terminal device are RSRP1, RSRP2, and RSRP 3. When the second satellite is changed from satellite ID1 to satellite ID2, the first network device changes the measurement information to satellite ID1 to RSRP3, satellite ID2 to RSRP1, and satellite ID3 to RSRP 2.
The first satellite manages the target terminal device according to the correction result of the measurement information, and the management includes:
and the first satellite acquires the communication quality information of the adjacent cell of the cell where the target terminal equipment is located according to the correction result of the measurement information, or performs switching judgment on the target terminal equipment.
Finally, it should be noted that the first satellite is used as the updated second satellite, and the foregoing steps may be performed, and the specific processing is the same as that described above, and is not described herein again. In addition, when the first satellite is used as the updated second satellite for processing, if the first satellite also runs out of the target spatial position, the satellite that may move into the target spatial position is a third satellite, and the third satellite may be understood as the first satellite, and corresponding processing may refer to the first satellite, and so on, and will not be described again.
Examples 2,
Unlike example 1, the communication device of this example transmits measurement information of the target terminal device to a first satellite operating to a target spatial position, including:
the communication device transmits the correction result of the measurement information of the target terminal device to a first satellite operating to a target spatial position.
That is, in the solution provided in this example, the second satellite may send the measurement information of the terminal device to the network device, and when the first satellite moves to the target spatial position and the second satellite moves out of the target spatial position, the network device corrects the measurement information, and the network device sends the correction result of the measurement information to the first satellite.
Similarly, the first satellite, the second satellite, and the communication device are taken as network devices for detailed description; it should be noted that, in this example, the network device may be replaced by one or more different satellites other than the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite trajectory. Referring to fig. 6, steps 1-4 of example 2 are the same as steps 1-4 of example 1, except for steps 5, 6, specifically:
and 5: when the first satellite runs to the target space position and runs from the target space position to the outside of the target space position, the network equipment corrects the measurement information of the target terminal equipment and sends the correction result of the measurement information to the first satellite.
The measurement information of the target terminal device is corrected, and may be:
and correcting the communication quality measurement value in the measurement information of the target terminal equipment and the identifier of the satellite corresponding to the communication quality measurement value.
Specifically, the correction process may be performed based on information such as a mapping relationship between the target spatial position and the satellite and/or ephemeris.
At this time, each satellite needs to know information of a plurality of satellites sharing the same satellite motion trail, such as how ephemeris exists among several satellites. This has the advantage of avoiding the complexity of the network device.
For example, the network device changes the satellite identifier according to the satellite motion trajectory (ephemeris). For example, there are three satellites sharing a satellite motion trajectory, and the sequence of the three satellites moving to the target spatial position is ID1,2, 3. The measurement results reported by the first terminal device are RSRP1, RSRP2, and RSRP 3. When the second satellite is changed from satellite ID1 to satellite ID2, the first network device changes the measurement information to satellite ID1 to RSRP3, satellite ID2 to RSRP1, and satellite ID3 to RSRP 2.
Here, the determination that the second satellite is replaced with the first satellite, that is, the first satellite is operated to the target spatial position and is operated to the target spatial position within the target spatial position, may be determined by the network device, may be determined by the second satellite, or may be determined by one or more different satellites other than the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite operation trajectory.
If the terminal device is determined by the network device or one or more different satellites except the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite orbit, the measurement information of the terminal device sent by the second satellite can be directly sent to the first satellite by the network device or one or more different satellites except the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite orbit;
if the second satellite determines the terminal device, the second satellite may notify the network device of the change information, or one or more different satellites other than the first satellite and the second satellite in the satellite orbit, and then the network device or one or more different satellites other than the first satellite and the second satellite in the satellite orbit may send the measurement information of the terminal device to the first satellite.
Step 6: and the first satellite manages the target terminal equipment according to the correction result of the measurement information.
The first satellite manages the target terminal device according to the correction result of the measurement information, and the management includes:
and the first satellite acquires the communication quality information of the adjacent cell of the cell where the target terminal equipment is located according to the correction result of the measurement information, or performs switching judgment on the target terminal equipment.
Finally, it should be noted that the first satellite is used as the updated second satellite, and the foregoing steps may be performed, and the specific processing is the same as that described above, and is not described herein again. In addition, when the first satellite is processed as the updated second satellite, if the first satellite also moves out of the target spatial position, the satellite that may move into the target spatial position is the third satellite, and the third satellite may be understood as the first satellite, and corresponding processing may refer to the first satellite, and so on, and will not be described again.
Examples 3,
In contrast to the previous examples 1 and 2, in this example, the measurement information or the correction result of the measurement information is not forwarded by the network device, but is transmitted directly from the second satellite to the first satellite.
That is, this example is directed to the case where the communication device is the second satellite.
The scheme provided by the example is as follows: when the first satellite runs to the target space position and the second satellite runs from the target space position to the outside of the target space position, the second satellite sends the measurement information of the target terminal equipment to the first satellite, and the first satellite corrects the measurement information of the target terminal equipment to obtain a correction result of the measurement information.
As shown in fig. 7, step 1-3 in the present example is the same as step 1-3 of example 1, and after the processing of step 1-3 is completed, the method includes:
and 4, step 4: when the first satellite runs to a target space position and the second satellite runs from the target space position to the outside of the target space position, the second satellite sends the measurement information of the target terminal equipment to the first satellite;
alternatively, the determination that the first satellite is traveling to the target spatial location and the second satellite is traveling from within the target spatial location to outside the target spatial location may be determined by the network device or may be determined by the second satellite. If the satellite update notification is determined by the network device, when the network device determines that the satellite located in the target space position is replaced by the first satellite, the network device sends a satellite update notification to the second satellite, so that the second satellite knows the switching situation, and then the second satellite sends the measurement information of the target terminal device to the first satellite.
Specifically, the method for updating the satellite for determining the target spatial position from the second satellite to the first satellite may be according to ephemeris, for example, a plurality of satellites located in the same satellite orbit may be known based on the ephemeris, and since the moving speed of the satellite is known in advance, the time when the second satellite moves out of the target spatial position may be determined, and the time when one satellite moves into the target spatial position may also be determined; it is thus possible to determine the first satellite that moved into the target spatial location while the second satellite moved out of the target spatial location.
And 5: the first satellite corrects the measurement information of the target terminal equipment to obtain a correction result of the measurement information; the first satellite may determine channel quality information of an adjacent cell of the target terminal device according to the correction result of the measurement information, or perform handover judgment on the target terminal device.
Wherein the correcting the measurement information corresponding to the target terminal device includes:
and correcting the communication quality measurement value in the measurement information of the target terminal equipment and the identifier of the satellite corresponding to the communication quality measurement value.
Specifically, the correction process may be performed based on information such as a mapping relationship between the target spatial position and the satellite and/or ephemeris.
At this time, each satellite needs to know information of a plurality of satellites sharing the same satellite motion trail, such as how ephemeris exists among several satellites. This has the advantage of avoiding the complexity of the network device.
For example, the first satellite alters the satellite identification, such as based on the satellite's motion trajectory (ephemeris). For example, there are three satellites sharing a satellite motion trajectory, and the sequence of the three satellites moving to the target spatial position is ID1,2, 3. The measurement results reported by the first terminal device are RSRP1, RSRP2, and RSRP 3. When the second satellite is changed from satellite ID1 to satellite ID2, the first network device changes the measurement information to satellite ID1 to RSRP3, satellite ID2 to RSRP1, and satellite ID3 to RSRP 2.
In this example, the method may further include: and the second satellite sends the measurement information of the target terminal equipment to network equipment. In this example, the network device is not required to transmit measurement information to other satellites (such as the first satellite). Accordingly, the measurement information may be saved by the network device for a period of time for later analysis use.
Finally, it should be noted that the first satellite is used as the updated second satellite, and the foregoing steps may be performed, and the specific processing is the same as that described above, and is not described herein again. In addition, when the first satellite is processed as the updated second satellite, if the first satellite also moves out of the target spatial position, the satellite that may move into the target spatial position is a third satellite, and the third satellite may be understood as the first satellite, and corresponding processing may refer to the first satellite, and so on, and will not be described again.
Examples 4,
This example differs from example 3 in that the present example performs correction of measurement information by the second satellite.
As shown in fig. 8, step 1-3 in this example is the same as step 1-3 of example 1, and after completion of step 1-3, it includes:
and 4, step 4: when the first satellite runs to a target space position and the second satellite runs from the inside of the target space position to the outside of the target space position, the second satellite corrects a communication quality measurement value in measurement information of the target terminal equipment and an identifier of the satellite corresponding to the communication quality measurement value, and the second satellite sends a correction result of the measurement information to the first satellite;
alternatively, the determination that the first satellite is traveling to the target spatial location and the second satellite is traveling from within the target spatial location to outside the target spatial location may be determined by a network device or may be determined by the second satellite. If the satellite update notification is determined by the network device, when the network device determines that the satellite located in the target space position is replaced by the first satellite, the network device sends a satellite update notification to the second satellite, so that the second satellite knows the switching situation, and then the second satellite sends the measurement information of the target terminal device to the first satellite.
Specifically, the method for updating the satellite for determining the target spatial position from the second satellite to the first satellite may be according to ephemeris, for example, a plurality of satellites located in the same satellite orbit may be known based on the ephemeris, and since the moving speed of the satellite is known in advance, the time when the second satellite moves out of the target spatial position may be determined, and the time when one satellite moves into the target spatial position may also be determined; it is thus possible to determine the first satellite that moved into the target spatial location while the second satellite moved out of the target spatial location.
Wherein the correcting the measurement information corresponding to the target terminal device includes:
and correcting the communication quality measurement value in the measurement information of the target terminal equipment and the identifier of the satellite corresponding to the communication quality measurement value.
Specifically, the correction process may be performed based on information such as a mapping relationship between the target spatial position and the satellite and/or ephemeris.
At this time, each satellite needs to know information of a plurality of satellites sharing the same satellite motion trail, such as how ephemeris exists among several satellites. This has the advantage of avoiding the complexity of the network device.
For example, the second satellite alters the satellite identification, such as based on the satellite's motion trajectory (ephemeris). For example, there are three satellites sharing a satellite motion trajectory, and the sequence of the three satellites moving to the target spatial position is ID1,2, 3. The measurement results reported by the first terminal device are RSRP1, RSRP2, and RSRP 3. When the second satellite is changed from satellite ID1 to satellite ID2, the first network device changes the measurement information to satellite ID1 to RSRP3, satellite ID2 to RSRP1, and satellite ID3 to RSRP 2.
And 5: the first satellite may determine channel quality information of an adjacent cell of the target terminal device according to the correction result of the measurement information, or perform handover judgment on the target terminal device.
Finally, it should be noted that the first satellite is used as the updated second satellite, and the foregoing steps may be performed, and the specific processing is the same as that described above, and is not described herein again. In addition, when the first satellite is processed as the updated second satellite, if the first satellite moves out of the target spatial position, the first satellite that may move into the target spatial position may be the first satellite, and the first satellite may be understood as the first satellite, and the corresponding processing may refer to the first satellite, and so on, and will not be described again.
In the foregoing examples, the first satellite performs handover determination on the target terminal device. In fact, when the network device acquires the measurement result or the correction result of the measurement information, the network device may perform processing such as handover determination. The determination may also be made by the second satellite, for example, if the second satellite determines that the terminal device can be switched before the satellite at the target spatial position is changed from the second satellite to the first satellite, the second satellite may directly perform a switching process on the target terminal device according to the measurement information.
Therefore, by adopting the above scheme, after the second satellite located at the target space position acquires the measurement result, if the satellite at the target space position is changed, the measurement result can be transmitted to the changed satellite. Therefore, the target terminal equipment can be used by the satellite positioned at the target space position only by reporting once in the process of one measurement reporting, and the situation that the measurement result is reported by the terminal equipment again due to the change of the satellite transmission of the target space position can not occur, so that the frequent reporting of the target terminal equipment is avoided, and the problem of a large amount of air interface signaling overhead caused by the frequent reporting of the target terminal equipment is further avoided.
As shown in fig. 9, a communication device provided in the present invention includes:
a first processing unit 61 that acquires measurement information of a target terminal device;
a first communication unit 62, configured to transmit measurement information of the target terminal device to a first satellite operating to a target spatial location, where the measurement information is used to instruct the first satellite to manage the target terminal device, and the target spatial location includes: the partial tracks in the satellite running tracks of a plurality of different satellites running in the same satellite running track.
Accordingly, the present embodiment provides a satellite including a first satellite, as shown in fig. 10, the first satellite including:
the second communication unit 71, when operating to a target spatial location, receives measurement information of a target terminal device sent by a communication device, where the target spatial location includes: partial tracks in the satellite running tracks of a plurality of different satellites running in the same satellite running track;
the second processing unit 72 manages the target terminal device according to the correction result of the measurement information.
The embodiments provided by the invention all need to comprise the following processes:
the first communication unit 62 of the communication device notifies the satellite of information of the configured at least one spatial position and/or notifies the satellite of a mapping relationship of the configured at least one spatial position with the satellite;
wherein the at least one spatial location comprises the target spatial location.
Each of the at least one spatial position may be understood as a target spatial position.
The information of the spatial position comprises at least one of: an identification of the spatial location, a spatial coordinate of the spatial location.
The scheme provided by the present embodiment is described in detail below with reference to various examples:
examples 1, 1,
And the second satellite sends the measurement information of the terminal equipment to the network equipment, the network equipment sends the measurement information to the first satellite, and the first satellite corrects the measurement information to obtain a correction result of the measurement information.
Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
the first communication unit 62 of the communication device configures a target spatial location that is an absolute area relative to the ground and corresponds to at least a portion of the satellite's motion trajectory.
The network device may be an Operation, Maintenance and management (OAM) device, or may be any one of specific one or more satellites sharing the same motion trajectory.
When the communication device is a second satellite, the first communication unit 62 performs measurement configuration on the target terminal device;
the target terminal device is as follows:
one of the one or more terminal devices determined by the second satellite;
or one or more terminal devices located within the coverage area of the second satellite.
According to the measurement configuration, when a measurement reporting condition is met, if the RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power) of a first satellite and a fourth satellite (namely the motion trail of the first satellite is the same as that of a second satellite and only the arrival time of the satellite at the same target space position is different from that of the second satellite) is larger than a threshold A, the target terminal equipment reports the measurement result to the second satellite; or, if the RSRP of the second satellite is less than the threshold B, the target terminal device reports the measurement result to the second satellite.
Wherein the measurement result may include: the identification of the satellite measured by the target terminal device and the communication quality parameter value of the satellite measured by the target terminal device. The communication Quality parameter may be RSRP, RSRQ (Reference Signal Receiving Quality), SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio), etc.
When the communication device is a second satellite, the first communication unit 62 receives a measurement result sent by a target terminal device, and determines measurement information of the target terminal device; the first communication unit 62 transmits the measurement information of the target terminal device to a network device.
The measurement information may be the same as or different from the measurement result.
When the first satellite travels to the target spatial position and travels from within the target spatial position to outside the target spatial position, the first communication unit 62 transmits the measurement information to the first satellite. Accordingly, the first satellite operating to the target spatial position receives the measurement information of the target terminal device transmitted by the communication device.
The second communication unit 71 of the first satellite receives the measurement information sent by the network equipment;
the second processing unit 72 of the first satellite corrects the measurement information corresponding to the target terminal device to obtain a correction result of the measurement information, and performs handover processing on the target terminal device according to the correction result of the measurement information.
The second processing unit 72 corrects the communication quality measurement value in the measurement information of the target terminal device and the identifier of the satellite corresponding to the communication quality measurement value.
Specifically, the correction process may be performed based on information such as a mapping relationship between the target spatial position and the satellite and/or ephemeris.
Examples 2,
The difference from example 1 is that the first processing unit 61 corrects the measurement information of the target terminal device when the satellite of the target spatial position of the second satellite is updated from the second satellite to the first satellite, and transmits the correction result of the measurement information to the first satellite through the first communication unit 62.
Examples 3,
When the satellite at the target space position is changed into the first satellite, the second satellite sends the measurement information of the target terminal equipment to the first satellite, and the first satellite corrects the measurement information of the target terminal equipment to obtain a correction result of the measurement information.
This example is different from the foregoing example 1 in that the first communication unit 62 transmits measurement information of the target terminal device to the first satellite;
the second processing unit 72 of the first satellite corrects the measurement information of the target terminal device to obtain a correction result of the measurement information; the first satellite may determine channel quality information of an adjacent cell of the target terminal device according to the correction result of the measurement information, or perform handover judgment on the target terminal device.
The second processing unit 72 of the first satellite corrects the communication quality measurement value in the measurement information of the target terminal device and the identifier of the satellite corresponding to the communication quality measurement value.
Specifically, the correction process may be performed based on information such as a mapping relationship between the target spatial position and the satellite and/or ephemeris.
Examples 4,
When the satellite at the target space position is changed into the first satellite, the second satellite corrects the measurement information of the target terminal device, and the correction result of the measurement information is sent to the first satellite.
This example is different from example 3 in that the first processing unit 61 corrects the communication quality measurement value and the identifier of the satellite corresponding thereto in the measurement information of the target terminal device, and the first communication unit 62 transmits the correction result of the measurement information to the first satellite.
The first processing unit 61 corrects the communication quality measurement value in the measurement information of the target terminal device and the identifier of the satellite corresponding to the communication quality measurement value.
Specifically, the correction process may be performed based on information such as a mapping relationship between the target spatial position and the satellite and/or ephemeris.
The second processing unit 72 of the first satellite may determine, according to the correction result of the measurement information, channel quality information of a neighboring cell of the target terminal device, or perform handover judgment on the target terminal device.
Therefore, by adopting the above scheme, after the second satellite located at the target space position acquires the measurement result, if the satellite at the target space position is changed, the measurement result can be transmitted to the changed satellite. Therefore, the target terminal equipment can be used by the satellite positioned at the target space position only by reporting once in the process of one measurement reporting, and the situation that the measurement result is reported by the terminal equipment again due to the change of the satellite transmission of the target space position can not occur, so that the frequent reporting of the target terminal equipment is avoided, and the problem of a large amount of air interface signaling overhead caused by the frequent reporting of the target terminal equipment is further avoided.
