For a more complete understanding of the nature and the technical content of the embodiments of the present invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description of embodiments of the invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which are meant to be illustrative only and not limiting of the embodiments of the invention.
An information processing method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, includes:
step 21: the communication equipment acquires measurement information of target terminal equipment;

step 32: and managing the target terminal equipment by the first satellite according to the correction result of the measurement information.
The embodiments provided herein may be applied in Non Terrestrial Network (NTN, non-terrestrial communication network). The NTN provides communication service for ground users in a satellite communication mode. Satellite communications have many unique advantages over terrestrial cellular communications. First, satellite communications are not limited by the user region, for example, general land communications cannot cover areas where communication devices cannot be installed, such as oceans, mountains, deserts, etc., or communication coverage is not performed due to rarity of population, while for satellite communications, since one satellite can cover a larger ground, and the satellite can orbit around the earth, theoretically every corner on the earth can be covered by satellite communications. And secondly, satellite communication has great social value. Satellite communication can be covered in remote mountain areas, poor and backward countries or regions with lower cost, so that people in the regions enjoy advanced voice communication and mobile internet technology, and the digital gap between developed regions is reduced, and the development of the regions is promoted. Again, the satellite communication distance is far, 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 Earth Orbit, geosynchronous Orbit) satellites, HEO (High Elliptical Orbit ) satellites, and the like according to the difference in Orbit heights. Wherein,
LEO, low orbit satellite altitude range is 500 km-1500 km, and corresponding orbit period is about 1.5 hours-2 hours. The signal propagation delay for single hop communications between users is typically less than 20ms. The maximum satellite visibility time is 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, geosynchronous orbit satellite, orbit altitude 35786km, rotation period around the earth 24 hours. The signal propagation delay for single hop communications between users is typically 250ms.
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 tens or hundreds of beams to cover the ground; a satellite beam may cover a ground area of several tens to hundreds of kilometers in diameter.
In related art, in terrestrial cellular network communication, such as a 5G communication system, a base station configures measurement for a UE, the UE reports a measurement result, and the related measurement result is used to configure the measured base station for the UE to determine whether to perform handover for 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 switching is shown in fig. 4, and mainly includes:
the switching preparation stage comprises the steps 1-6 in the figure: the first network device (i.e. the source base station) sends measurement control to the terminal device; after the terminal equipment performs measurement for a plurality of network equipment or cells, sending a measurement report to the first network equipment; the first network device makes a handover decision according to 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 device performs switching permission control according to the switching request; and when the second network equipment determines to switch, sending a switching request confirmation to the first network equipment.
Then, a switching stage is executed, wherein the switching stage comprises the steps 7-11 in the figure, and the specific steps are as follows: the second network device generates a switching request acknowledgement, sends switching request acknowledgement information to the first network device, and sends the switching request acknowledgement information to the terminal device through RRC connection reconfiguration information by the first network device; after receiving the RRC connection reconfiguration information, the terminal equipment executes switching processing according to the connection reconfiguration information; then the first network device sends the SN status transmission to the second network device; the terminal equipment synchronizes with the second network equipment, receives the UL resources distributed by the second network equipment, and sends RRC connection reconfiguration completion information to the second network equipment.
And finally, entering a switching completion stage, wherein the switching completion stage comprises 12-18 in the figure, and the specific steps are as follows: the second network equipment sends a path switching request to the MME so as to inform the MME terminal equipment of changing the cell; the MME sends a request for adjusting the bearing to the service gateway, and the MME performs downlink path switching processing; after finishing the processing, the service gateway sends a 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 that the terminal device context release is released by the first network device.
In the NTN scenario applied in this embodiment, if a similar handover management scheme in the foregoing related art is also adopted, frequent interactions of contents such as measurement and reporting are performed by the terminal device to the satellite side due to the position change of the satellite.
Therefore, the solution provided in this embodiment transmits the measurement information to the first satellite that is subsequently operated to the target space position by the second satellite that is located at the target space position (i.e. the satellite is operated from the target space position to the outside of the target space position on the operation track), or by the network device, or by one or more different satellites that are located on the operation track of the satellite, except the first satellite and the second satellite, and then the first satellite performs subsequent management based on the measurement information of the terminal device. Therefore, the number of times of measurement reporting by the terminal equipment is reduced, and the air interface signaling overhead is reduced.
In an 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: a satellite moving from the inside of the target space position to the outside of the target space position on the satellite moving track;
one or more different satellites in the satellite trajectories other than the first satellite and the second satellite.
In the solution provided in this embodiment, the method further includes:
the communication device informs the satellite on the satellite running track of information of at least one configured space position and/or informs the satellite of a mapping relation between the configured space position and the satellite;
wherein the at least one spatial location includes the target spatial location.
For the first satellite and the second satellite, or any other satellite on the satellite running track, the following processing may be further included:
acquiring information of at least one configured spatial position and/or mapping relation between the at least one spatial position and a satellite;
wherein the at least one spatial location includes the target spatial location.
In other words, one or more satellites located in the satellite motion track may acquire information of at least one configured spatial position in advance, and/or a mapping relationship between at least one spatial position and a satellite.
In addition, the information of the at least one spatial position is sent, and/or the mapping relation between the at least one spatial position and the satellite may be a network device, or may be one or more satellites sharing the same satellite running track. Wherein, one or more satellites in the plurality of satellites can be any one, or any plurality of satellites, or one or more satellites selected by a network side.
Wherein each of the at least one spatial position may be understood as a target spatial position.
The information of the spatial location includes at least one of: and identifying the spatial position, and spatial coordinates of the spatial position.
At this time, each satellite can determine its corresponding spatial position according to its own position.
For example, when the information of the spatial position includes the spatial coordinates of the spatial position, the satellite may determine the spatial position where the satellite is located according to the coordinates of the spatial position and the coordinates of the satellite. When the spatial position information further includes the spatial position identifier, the satellite can further determine the spatial position identifier corresponding to the position of the satellite.
Alternatively, the information of different spatial locations may be transmitted to satellites at different spatial locations, respectively. Correspondingly, the satellite can directly determine the spatial position of the satellite according to the information of the spatial position sent by the network equipment.
For example, the information of each spatial location may be transmitted only for satellites included in that spatial location. In order to understand each spatial location as a target spatial location, the network device may send information of the target spatial location only to the satellite located at the target spatial location, and in turn, the satellite located at the target spatial location may determine the coordinates of the space where itself is located and the spatial location. Accordingly, the satellite that receives the information of the target spatial position may be the second satellite in the target spatial position.
Further, the mapping relationship between the spatial position and the satellite includes: at least one of the information of the spatial position and the identification of at least one satellite corresponding to the spatial position.
For example, a mapping relationship between the identification of the spatial location and the identification of the 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; 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 satellites may be informed of the mapping relationship of all the spatial positions to the satellites, or the communication device may be informed of the mapping relationship of the target spatial position to the satellites only for the second satellite at the target spatial position. Wherein the target spatial position is one of the total spatial positions.
If the mapping relationship between all the spatial positions and the satellites is transmitted for all the satellites, each satellite determines a corresponding mapping relationship according to the spatial position where the satellite is located, for example, the satellite 1 is located in the mapping relationship between the spatial position 1 and the satellite, and then the satellite can be determined to be located in the spatial position 1. If the mapping relation between the space position and the satellite is only sent for the satellite in a certain space position, the satellite can directly determine the space position of the satellite according to the mapping relation between the space position sent by the network equipment and the satellite.
In this embodiment, each spatial location may be understood as a target spatial location, and the satellite located at each spatial location may be understood as a second satellite of the spatial location. Alternatively, in this embodiment, each spatial location may be understood as a target spatial location, and one or more of the plurality of satellites located at each spatial location may be understood as a second satellite at that spatial location.
The following describes the scheme provided in this embodiment in detail with reference to various examples:
EXAMPLE 1,
And under the condition that the communication equipment is a second satellite, the communication equipment, namely the second satellite, also performs measurement configuration for the terminal equipment, receives a measurement result sent by the target terminal equipment, and acquires measurement information of the target terminal equipment based on the measurement result.
In the case where the communication device is a network device or one or more different satellites other than the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite running track, the communication device acquiring measurement information of the 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 measurement information of the terminal device to the network device, or one or more different satellites other than the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite trajectory, and the network device transmits measurement information to the first satellite, or one or more different satellites other than the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite trajectory, and the first satellite corrects the measurement information to obtain a correction result of the measurement information.
Referring to fig. 5, a detailed description will be given of an example in which the first satellite, the second satellite, and the communication device are network devices; it is noted that in this example, the network device may also be replaced with one or more different satellites in addition to 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 part of areas in the satellite motion track.
Specifically, the network device configures a target space position for a satellite on a satellite running track.
The network device may be an operation and maintenance administration (OAM, operation Administration and Maintenance) device.
Alternatively, the network device in this step may be replaced with any one sharing the same motion profile, or a specific satellite or satellites. The specific satellite refers to a certain pre-configured satellite in the satellite running track, and may be configured by a manager through a network device, or may be configured by the network device according to an actual situation, for example, a certain satellite with smaller data processing or data transmission amount may be selected as the specific satellite. In addition, any one of the satellites may be selected randomly, and any satellite may include the second satellite, and of course, the first satellite may be included, or any satellite on the satellite motion trajectory other than the first satellite and the second satellite may be included. And will not be described in detail here.
Optionally, the network device notifies at least one satellite of the configured target spatial location (which may include a location identifier, spatial coordinates, etc.), and/or the mapping relationship between the target spatial location and the satellite. Furthermore, the network device may also notify at least one satellite of all configured spatial positions and mapping relations between the spatial positions and satellites.
In this example, the following description is made only for one second satellite in the target spatial position.
Step 2: when a second satellite is positioned at a target space position, the second satellite performs measurement configuration on target terminal equipment;
the target terminal device is:
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 device.
The one or more terminal devices determined by the second satellite may be one specific terminal device or a plurality of specific terminal devices determined by the second satellite. The specific terminal device may be one or more terminal devices that determine the ground coordinates or range.
The measurement configuration is used for the second satellite to acquire channel quality information of a neighboring cell of the target terminal device or is used for the second satellite to execute switching judgment on the target terminal device.
Since the satellites are in motion, the second satellite corresponding to the target space position at different times may be the same or different, i.e. the identification of the satellite/base station at the target space position at different times is different; for example, the target space position is satellite 3 for a period of time, and then satellite 3 is the second satellite; in another period, the target space position is the satellite 6, and the satellite 6 is the first satellite, that is, the replaced second satellite.
Step 3: according to the measurement configuration, when the measurement reporting condition is met, if the RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power, reference signal received power) of a third satellite and a fourth satellite (namely, satellites with the same movement track as a second satellite and only different arrival time of the same target space position satellite from the second satellite) is larger than the threshold A, the target terminal device reports the measurement result to the second satellite; or if the RSRP of the third satellite is smaller than the threshold B, the target terminal device reports the measurement result to the second satellite.
Wherein the measurement may include: the identification of the satellite measured by the target terminal equipment and the communication quality parameter value of the satellite measured by the target terminal equipment. The communication quality parameters may be RSRP, RSRQ (Reference Signal Receiving Quality, reference signal received quality), SINR (signal to interference plus noise ratio ), etc.
Step 4: the second satellite receives the measurement result sent by the target terminal equipment and determines measurement information of the target terminal equipment; and the second satellite transmits 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.
The measurement information of the target terminal device may include: the identification of the satellite measured by the target terminal equipment and the communication quality parameter value of the satellite measured by the target terminal equipment.
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 carry the identifier of the target spatial position and/or the second satellite identifier.
Or if the measurement information of the target terminal device does not carry the identification information, the network device can confirm the satellite identification corresponding to the measurement information or the identification of the corresponding position by itself. When the network device determines satellite information corresponding to the measurement information of the target terminal device or the identification of the target space 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 further determine the identification of the target space position based on the space position and the mapping relationship of the satellites.
Step 5: the network device transmits measurement information to the first satellite when the first satellite is operated to the target space position and is operated from the inside of the target space position to the outside of the target space position. Correspondingly, the first satellite running to the target space position receives the measurement information of the target terminal device sent by the communication device.
Here, the determination that the second satellite is replaced with the first satellite, that is, the first satellite is moved to the target space position and is moved from within the target space position to outside the target space position, may be determined by the network device, or 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 moving trajectory.
If the measurement information is determined by the network device or one or more different satellites except the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite running track, 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 the one or more different satellites except the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite running track;
if the change information is determined by the second satellite, the second satellite can inform the network device or one or more different satellites except the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite running track, and then the network device or the one or more different satellites except the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite running track can send the measurement information of the terminal device to the first satellite.
The specific mode of determining the target space position of the satellite updated from the second satellite to the first satellite can be according to ephemeris, for example, a plurality of satellites positioned on the same satellite running track can be known based on ephemeris, and the time when the second satellite moves out of the target space position can be determined, and the time when a certain satellite moves into the target space position can also be determined because the satellite moving speed is known in advance; so that a first satellite that moves into the target spatial location can be determined as the second satellite moves 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.
The correcting the measurement information corresponding to the target terminal device includes:
and the first satellite corrects the communication quality measured value in the measured information of the target terminal equipment and the identification of the corresponding satellite.
Specifically, the correction process may be performed based on the mapping relationship between the target spatial position and the satellite, and/or information such as ephemeris.
At this time, each satellite needs to know information of a plurality of satellites sharing the same satellite motion track, such as a few satellites, and ephemeris. This has the advantage of avoiding the complexity of the network device.
For example, a first satellite, such as a satellite based on its trajectory (ephemeris), changes the satellite identification. For example, there are three satellites sharing a satellite motion trajectory, and the sequence of the three satellites moving to the target space position is ID1,2,3. The measurement results reported by the first terminal equipment are RSRP1, RSRP2 and RSRP3. When the second satellite is changed from the satellite ID1 to the satellite ID2, the first network device changes the measurement information to the RSRP3 corresponding to the satellite ID1, the RSRP1 corresponding to the satellite ID2, and the RSRP2 corresponding to the satellite ID 3.
The first satellite managing the target terminal device according to the correction result of the measurement information 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 may be used as the updated second satellite, and the steps may be executed, and specific processing is the same as that described above, which is not repeated here. In addition, when the first satellite is processed as the updated second satellite, if the first satellite also operates to the target space position, the first satellite may be a third satellite that may be moved into the target space position, and then the third satellite may be understood as the first satellite, and the corresponding processing may refer to the first satellite, and so on, which is not repeated.
EXAMPLE 2,
The difference from example 1 is that the communication apparatus of this example transmits measurement information of the target terminal apparatus to a first satellite that is operated to a target spatial location, including:
the communication device transmits a correction result of the measurement information of the target terminal device to a first satellite running to a target space 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 is operated to the target space position and the second satellite is moved out of the target space 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 the detailed description; it is noted that in this example, the network device may also be replaced with one or more different satellites in addition to the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite trajectory. Referring to fig. 6, steps 1-4 of example 2 are identical to steps 1-4 of example 1, except for steps 5, 6, in particular:
step 5: when the first satellite runs to the target space position and runs out of the target space position from the inside of the target space position, the network equipment corrects the measurement information of the target terminal equipment, and the correction result of the measurement information is sent to the first satellite.
The correction of the measurement information of the target terminal device may be:
and correcting the communication quality measured value in the measured information of the target terminal equipment and the identification of the corresponding satellite.
Specifically, the correction process may be performed based on the mapping relationship between the target spatial position and the satellite, and/or information such as ephemeris.
At this time, each satellite needs to know information of a plurality of satellites sharing the same satellite motion track, such as a few satellites, and ephemeris. This has the advantage of avoiding the complexity of the network device.
The network device changes the satellite identification according to the satellite motion trail (ephemeris). For example, there are three satellites sharing a satellite motion trajectory, and the sequence of the three satellites moving to the target space position is ID1,2,3. The measurement results reported by the first terminal equipment are RSRP1, RSRP2 and RSRP3. When the second satellite is changed from the satellite ID1 to the satellite ID2, the first network device changes the measurement information to the RSRP3 corresponding to the satellite ID1, the RSRP1 corresponding to the satellite ID2, and the RSRP2 corresponding to the satellite ID 3.
Here, the determination that the second satellite is replaced with the first satellite, that is, the first satellite is moved to the target space position and is moved from within the target space position to outside the target space position, may be determined by the network device, or 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 moving trajectory.
If the measurement information is determined by the network device or one or more different satellites except the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite running track, 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 the one or more different satellites except the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite running track;
if the change information is determined by the second satellite, the second satellite can inform the network device or one or more different satellites except the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite running track, and then the network device or the one or more different satellites except the first satellite and the second satellite on the satellite running track can 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 managing the target terminal device according to the correction result of the measurement information 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 may be used as the updated second satellite, and the steps may be executed, and specific processing is the same as that described above, which is not repeated here. In addition, when the first satellite is processed as the updated second satellite, if the first satellite also moves out of the target space position, the third satellite may be a third satellite that may move to the target space position, and the third satellite may be understood as the first satellite, and the corresponding processing may refer to the first satellite, and so on, which is not repeated.
EXAMPLE 3,
The difference from the previous examples 1, 2 is that the present example does not forward the measurement information or the correction result of the measurement information by the network device any more, but is transmitted directly to the first satellite by the second satellite.
That is, the present 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 this example is the same as step 1-3 of example 1, and after the process of step 1-3 is completed, it includes:
step 4: 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 measurement information of the target terminal equipment to the first satellite;
alternatively, determining that the first satellite is operating outside the target spatial location and the second satellite is operating within the target spatial location may be determined by the network device or may be determined by the second satellite. If the information is determined by the network device, when the network device determines that the satellite located at the target space position is replaced by the first satellite, the network device sends a notification of satellite update to the second satellite, so that the second satellite knows the handover situation, and the second satellite sends measurement information of the target terminal device to the first satellite.
The specific mode of determining the target space position of the satellite updated from the second satellite to the first satellite can be according to ephemeris, for example, a plurality of satellites positioned on the same satellite running track can be known based on ephemeris, and the time when the second satellite moves out of the target space position can be determined, and the time when a certain satellite moves into the target space position can also be determined because the satellite moving speed is known in advance; so that a first satellite that moves into the target spatial location can be determined as the second satellite moves out of the target spatial location.
Step 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 a neighbor 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 correcting the measurement information corresponding to the target terminal device includes:
and correcting the communication quality measured value in the measured information of the target terminal equipment and the identification of the corresponding satellite.
Specifically, the correction process may be performed based on the mapping relationship between the target spatial position and the satellite, and/or information such as ephemeris.
At this time, each satellite needs to know information of a plurality of satellites sharing the same satellite motion track, such as a few satellites, and ephemeris. This has the advantage of avoiding the complexity of the network device.
For example, a first satellite, such as a satellite based on its trajectory (ephemeris), changes the satellite identification. For example, there are three satellites sharing a satellite motion trajectory, and the sequence of the three satellites moving to the target space position is ID1,2,3. The measurement results reported by the first terminal equipment are RSRP1, RSRP2 and RSRP3. When the second satellite is changed from the satellite ID1 to the satellite ID2, the first network device changes the measurement information to the RSRP3 corresponding to the satellite ID1, the RSRP1 corresponding to the satellite ID2, and the RSRP2 corresponding to the satellite ID 3.
In this example, it may further include: and the second satellite transmits 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.
Finally, it should be noted that, the first satellite may be used as the updated second satellite, and the steps may be executed, and specific processing is the same as that described above, which is not repeated here. In addition, when the first satellite is processed as the updated second satellite, if the first satellite also moves out of the target space position, and is possibly a third satellite that moves into the target space position, the third satellite may be understood as the first satellite, and the corresponding processing may refer to the first satellite, and so on, which is not repeated.
EXAMPLE 4,
The present example is different 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 step 1-3 is completed, it includes:
step 4: when the first satellite moves to the target space position and the second satellite moves from the target space position to the outside of the target space position, the second satellite corrects the communication quality measured value and the corresponding satellite identification in the measured information of the target terminal equipment, and the second satellite sends the correction result of the measured information to the first satellite:
Alternatively, determining that the first satellite is operating to the target spatial location and the second satellite is operating 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 information is determined by the network device, when the network device determines that the satellite located at the target space position is replaced by the first satellite, the network device sends a notification of satellite update to the second satellite, so that the second satellite knows the handover situation, and the second satellite sends measurement information of the target terminal device to the first satellite.
The specific mode of determining the target space position of the satellite updated from the second satellite to the first satellite can be according to ephemeris, for example, a plurality of satellites positioned on the same satellite running track can be known based on ephemeris, and the time when the second satellite moves out of the target space position can be determined, and the time when a certain satellite moves into the target space position can also be determined because the satellite moving speed is known in advance; so that a first satellite that moves into the target spatial location can be determined as the second satellite moves out of the target spatial location.
The correcting the measurement information corresponding to the target terminal device includes:
And correcting the communication quality measured value in the measured information of the target terminal equipment and the identification of the corresponding satellite.
Specifically, the correction process may be performed based on the mapping relationship between the target spatial position and the satellite, and/or information such as ephemeris.
At this time, each satellite needs to know information of a plurality of satellites sharing the same satellite motion track, such as a few satellites, and ephemeris. This has the advantage of avoiding the complexity of the network device.
For example, a second satellite, such as a satellite based on its trajectory (ephemeris), changes the satellite identification. For example, there are three satellites sharing a satellite motion trajectory, and the sequence of the three satellites moving to the target space position is ID1,2,3. The measurement results reported by the first terminal equipment are RSRP1, RSRP2 and RSRP3. When the second satellite is changed from the satellite ID1 to the satellite ID2, the first network device changes the measurement information to the RSRP3 corresponding to the satellite ID1, the RSRP1 corresponding to the satellite ID2, and the RSRP2 corresponding to the satellite ID 3.
Step 5: the first satellite may determine channel quality information of a neighbor 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 may be used as the updated second satellite, and the steps may be executed, and specific processing is the same as that described above, which is not repeated here. In addition, when the first satellite is processed as the updated second satellite, if the first satellite is also moved out of the target space position, the first satellite may be understood as the first satellite, and the corresponding processing may be referred to the first satellite, and so on, which are not repeated.
In the foregoing examples, it is mentioned that the first satellite performs handover judgment 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 judgment. The second satellite may also determine that the target terminal device is to be switched, for example, before the satellite in the target spatial position is replaced by the first satellite, if the second satellite determines that the terminal device is to be switched, the second satellite may directly perform a switching process on the target terminal device according to the measurement information.
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 reporting once measurement, and the situation that the measurement result is reported again by the terminal equipment due to the satellite transmission replacement of the target space position is avoided, 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.
The communication device provided by the invention, as shown in fig. 9, includes:
a first processing unit 61 that acquires measurement information of a target terminal device;
the first communication unit 62 sends measurement information of the target terminal device to a first satellite running to a target spatial position, where the measurement information is used to instruct the first satellite to manage the target terminal device, and the target spatial position includes: and part of the satellite running tracks where a plurality of different satellites run on the same satellite running track.
Accordingly, the present embodiment provides a satellite including a first satellite, as shown in fig. 10, where the first satellite includes:
the second communication unit 71 receives measurement information of the target terminal device sent by the communication device when running to the target spatial position, where the target spatial position includes: part of the trajectories in the satellite running trajectories of a plurality of different satellites running in the same satellite running trajectory;
and a second processing unit 72 for managing the target terminal device according to the correction result of the measurement information.
The embodiments provided by the present invention all need to include 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 and the satellite;
wherein the at least one spatial location includes 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 location includes at least one of: and identifying the spatial position, and spatial coordinates of the spatial position.
The following describes the scheme provided in this embodiment in detail with reference to various examples:
EXAMPLE 1,
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.
Specific:
the first communication unit 62 of the communication device configures a target spatial position, which is an absolute area relative to the ground and corresponds to at least part of the area in the satellite motion trajectory.
The network device may be an operation and maintenance management (OAM, operation Administration and Maintenance) device, or may be any one of a plurality of satellites sharing the same motion trail.
When the communication device is the second satellite, the first communication unit 62 performs measurement configuration to the target terminal device;
the target terminal device is:
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 the measurement reporting conditions are met, if the RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power, reference signal received power) of the first satellite and the fourth satellite (namely, the satellites with the same movement track as the second satellite and the arrival time of the satellite with the same target space position and the different time of the satellite with the second satellite) are larger than the threshold A, the target terminal device reports the measurement result to the second satellite; or if the RSRP of the second satellite is smaller than the threshold B, the target terminal device reports the measurement result to the second satellite.
Wherein the measurement may include: the identification of the satellite measured by the target terminal equipment and the communication quality parameter value of the satellite measured by the target terminal equipment. The communication quality parameters may be RSRP, RSRQ (Reference Signal Receiving Quality, reference signal received quality), SINR (signal to interference plus noise ratio ), etc.
When the communication device is a second satellite, the first communication unit 62 receives the measurement result sent by the target terminal device, and determines measurement information of the target terminal device; the first communication unit 62 transmits 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.
The first communication unit 62 transmits measurement information to the first satellite when the first satellite is operated to the target space position and is operated from within the target space position to outside the target space position. Correspondingly, the first satellite running to the target space position receives the measurement information of the target terminal device sent by the communication device.
The second communication unit 71 of the first satellite receives measurement information sent by the network device;
the second processing unit 72 of the first satellite corrects the measurement information corresponding to the target terminal device, obtains a correction result of the measurement information, and performs a handover process 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 and the corresponding satellite identifier in the measurement information of the target terminal device.
Specifically, the correction process may be performed based on the mapping relationship between the target spatial position and the satellite, and/or information such as ephemeris.
EXAMPLE 2,
The first processing unit 61 is different from example 1 in that, when the satellite of the target spatial position of the second satellite is updated from the second satellite to the first satellite, the network corrects the measurement information of the target terminal device, and the correction result of the measurement information is transmitted to the first satellite through the first communication unit 62.
EXAMPLE 3,
When the satellite of 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.
The present 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 a neighbor 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 and the identification of the corresponding satellite in the measurement information of the target terminal device.
Specifically, the correction process may be performed based on the mapping relationship between the target spatial position and the satellite, and/or information such as ephemeris.
EXAMPLE 4,
When the satellite of the target space position is changed to the first satellite, the second satellite corrects the measurement information of the target terminal equipment, and the correction result of the measurement information is sent to the first satellite.
The present example is different from example 3 in that the first processing unit 61 corrects the communication quality measurement value and the identification of its corresponding satellite 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 and the corresponding satellite identifier in the measurement information of the target terminal device.
Specifically, the correction process may be performed based on the mapping relationship between the target spatial position and the satellite, and/or information such as ephemeris.
The second processing unit 72 of the first satellite may determine channel quality information of a neighbor cell of the target terminal device or perform handover judgment on the target terminal device according to the correction result of the measurement information.
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 reporting once measurement, and the situation that the measurement result is reported again by the terminal equipment due to the satellite transmission replacement of the target space position is avoided, 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.
