Detailed Description
In order to make the technical solutions of the present application better understood, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Hereinafter, technical terms related to the present application will be described first.
A base station is used for mobile communication and is a form of radio station, and specifically, a base station refers to a radio transceiver station for information transfer between a user terminal and a mobile communication switching center in a certain radio coverage area. The signal coverage area of each base station forms a cell, the base stations in the present application may be multiple, and each base station may be randomly distributed, so the communication scenario in the present application may be a network scenario composed of multiple base stations that are randomly distributed.
Terahertz refers to an electromagnetic wave having a frequency of 0.1THz to 10 THz. Specifically, the frequency of terahertz is a frequency between the high-frequency edge (300 GHz) and the low-frequency far-infrared spectral band edge (3000 GHz) of the millimeter-wave band of electromagnetic radiation, and radiation of the corresponding wavelength is in the range of 0.03mm to 3mm in this band.
Millimeter waves refer to electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 26.5 GHz-300 GHz, the corresponding wavelength range is 1 mm-10 mm, and the millimeter waves are located in the overlapping wavelength range of microwave and far infrared waves, so that the millimeter waves have the characteristics of two wave spectrums. The millimeter wave is a wave band extending from microwave to high frequency, the terahertz wave spectrum is between microwave and far infrared light, the low wave band is adjacent to the millimeter wave, and the high wave band is adjacent to the infrared light.
The communication perception integrated technology is a novel information processing technology which simultaneously realizes a perception function and a communication function based on software and hardware resource sharing or information sharing, and can effectively improve the system spectrum efficiency, the hardware efficiency and the information processing efficiency. The sensing function is mainly realized by analyzing direct, reflected and scattered signals of radio waves, so as to obtain information of a target object or information of an environment, specifically, the position, distance and speed of the target object, and an image of the environment can be obtained. In the communication perception integration technology, the communication system can utilize the same frequency spectrum or even multiplexing hardware or a signal processing module to complete different types of perception functions. The sensing result can be used for assisting communication access or management and improving communication quality.
At present, on one hand, when millimeter waves and terahertz are used for communication, because the attenuation of the signal intensity of the terahertz and the millimeter waves is large, the coverage range of a millimeter wave and terahertz communication network is small, user equipment needs to frequently switch beams when using the millimeter waves and the terahertz communication network, and because the wavelengths of the terahertz and the millimeter waves are short, the communication lines are easily blocked by obstacles in the signal transmission process, so that the communication lines are interrupted, the beam switching cannot be completed, and the beam state of the millimeter waves and the terahertz frequency band signals is changed from beam alignment to beam misalignment. On the other hand, when the user equipment is in a moving state, the beam switching cannot be completed due to too fast movement of the user equipment, which causes a problem of beam misalignment.
Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned drawback, an embodiment of the present application provides a beam alignment method, including: the first base station acquires the optimal beam distribution ratio at the current moment, wherein the optimal beam distribution ratio is used for distributing the sensing resources and the communication resources of the beams so as to reduce the misalignment probability of the beams to the minimum; the first base station generates a first beam at the current moment according to the optimal beam distribution ratio, wherein the first beam is used for sensing the environment at the current moment, such as the position, the speed, obstacles and the like of the user equipment, and the first beam is also used for communicating with the user equipment, such as receiving a first beam alignment notification; the first base station sends a first wave beam generated at each period moment to the user equipment in a set period, and detects whether an obstacle exists between the first base station and the user equipment through the first wave beam; if the first base station does not detect the obstacle and the first beam and the user equipment are successfully communicated, the first base station receives a first beam alignment notification sent by the user, and beam alignment is finished.
Whether an obstacle exists in the communication process of the first base station and the user equipment is detected by sending the first wave beam generated according to the optimal wave beam distribution ratio to the user equipment, and the inter-cell wave beam switching is carried out when the obstacle is detected, so that the communication blocked by the obstacle is avoided, the wave beam alignment is finished, and the problem of wave beam misalignment in the millimeter wave and terahertz communication method is solved. The beam alignment method to which the present application relates is described below.
Example 1
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a beam alignment method according to embodiment 1 of the present application. In this embodiment, the beam used by the first base station is a terahertz and/or millimeter wave, and the beam alignment method may include the following steps:
step S110: the method comprises the steps that a first base station obtains the optimal beam distribution ratio at the current moment, the optimal beam distribution ratio is used for distributing sensing resources and communication resources of beams under the condition that the beam misalignment probability is the minimum, and the beam misalignment probability is the probability that the beams sent by the first base station cannot be aligned with user equipment.
Here, the communication resource refers to a resource that can be used to implement a communication function in a radio wave. The sensing resource refers to a resource which can be used for realizing a sensing function in radio waves, such as direct, reflected and scattered signals of the radio waves.
Specifically, the beam alignment is performed by using the terahertz and/or millimeter wave signal to simultaneously realize the sensing function and the communication function through the communication sensing integration technology. In terahertz and/or millimeter wave signals, if too many signal resources are allocated to the communication function, the sensing function of the signal may be affected, which may cause inaccurate obstacle detection or user speed detection and affect beam switching, and if too many signal resources are allocated to the sensing function, the communication function of the signal may be affected, which may further cause reduction of network total throughput and affect communication between the base station and the user equipment.
In the embodiment of the present application, the beam transmitted by the first base station needs to detect the communication environment through the sensing function, so as to ensure that the beam can be aligned, and needs to communicate with the user equipment through the communication function, so as to ensure that the user equipment can receive the notification of the alignment of the beam of the base station. Therefore, the first base station obtains the optimal beam distribution ratio at the current moment, where the optimal beam distribution ratio refers to the distribution ratio of beam communication resources and sensing resources under the condition that the beam misalignment probability is minimum, that is, under the condition that the beam transmitted by the first base station can simultaneously achieve the optimal communication function and sensing function.
In the embodiment of the present application, the first base station may continuously transmit beams at different times in a scanning manner, and since the network status in the coverage area of the base station may be different at different times, the optimal beam allocation ratios obtained by the base station at different times may also be different.
As shown in fig. 2, in an exemplary embodiment, step S110 may further include sub-step S111 and sub-step S112.
Substep S111: the first base station acquires the network parameters, the sensing resource grid parameters and the random geometric model at the current moment.
Wherein the network parameter of the current time includes a frame structure related parameter, such as a center frequencyLength of symbolSpacing of subcarriersAnd also includes the density of nodes in the network, e.g. the density of network nodes of the first base stationNetwork node density of user equipmentNetwork node density of obstaclesAnd including the number of beams used by the communication node, e.g. the first base stationNumber of beams used by the user terminal。
The different types of nodes considered by the application are independently and randomly distributed in the network and are distributed according to the poisson point process.
According to the random distribution characteristic of the network, the distribution of the beam switching points between cells and in the network satisfies the exponential distribution, and according to the extracted density of the base station and the number of the beams used by the base station, the density of the beam switching pointsCan be calculated by the following formula:。
perceptual resource lattice parametersThe number of the total resource grids occupied by the sensing resources is sensedResource grid parametersA value preset for the first base station.
Speed resolution ratio capable of being realized by first beam sensing resource at current momentAnd c is the speed of light,the duration of the first beam.
Distance resolution that can be achieved by the first beam communication resource at the current time。
At the current moment, under the density of the network nodes and the obstacles, the probability that the direct path transmission of the terahertz and/or millimeter wave signals is not blocked by the obstacles can be modeled as a function related to the transmission distance r。
According to the probability density function of the signal transmission distance r:
the average probability that the direct path transmission of the signal is not blocked is:
wherein the content of the first and second substances,,is the radius of the network node or nodes,,is a complementary error function, and:
when insufficient speed and range resolution is caused by too little sensing resources, the first base station may underestimate the speed of the user equipment, resulting in beam misalignment. Therefore, the probability of beam misalignment caused by insufficient velocity resolution and range resolution is modeled as the following events:
wherein the content of the first and second substances,is the coverage of a single beam, t is a set period,a user possible speed maximum preset for the first base station,and presetting a user possible speed minimum value for the first base station.
Average probability of unblocking direct path transmission of signalVelocity resolutionDistance resolutionSubstituting the beam misalignment probability for modeling to obtain a random geometric model as the beam misalignment probability and the beam distribution ratioFunction of (2)Wherein:
In the embodiment of the application, the optimal beam distribution ratioThe beam allocation ratio corresponding to the minimum beam misalignment probability is referred to. Probability function of beam misalignmentWith respect to beam allocation ratioThe derivation is carried out by the derivation,when the temperature of the water is higher than the set temperature,. In thatIn (1), only the defined variablesRatio of beam distributionIn connection with this, the present invention is,when the derivative is 0, the following expression can be obtained:
the optimal beam distribution ratio can be obtained according to the expression:
as shown in fig. 3, in an exemplary embodiment, step S110 may be preceded by step S101 and step S102.
Step S101: the first base station sends a detection beam in a beam scanning mode, and the detection beam is used for communicating with terminal equipment within the coverage range of the first base station.
Step S102: and the first base station receives a user connection notification sent by the terminal equipment within the coverage range of the first base station, and confirms that the terminal equipment is the user equipment.
In the embodiment of the present application, before the first base station does not acknowledge the user equipment, the first base station transmits a sounding beam to its coverage area in a beam scanning manner. The detection beam is terahertz and/or millimeter wave, and can be used for communicating with terminal equipment which may exist in the coverage area of the first base station and needs to communicate, sensing obstacles existing in the coverage area of the first base station, and detecting the moving speed, the moving direction and the position of the user equipment.
And if the terminal equipment which needs to communicate with the first base station exists, the terminal equipment receives the detection beam and sends a user connection notification to the first base station. And the first base station receives the user connection notification, can confirm that the terminal equipment is the user equipment needing to communicate, and performs beam alignment with the user equipment.
Step S120: and generating a first beam at the current moment according to the optimal beam distribution ratio at the current moment, wherein the first beam is used for sensing the environment at the current moment through the distributed sensing resources and is also used for communicating with the user equipment through the distributed communication resources.
In the embodiment of the present application, the first beam may be a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB).
In this embodiment of the application, the condition that the first beam is used to sense the current time through the allocated sensing resource may refer to that the first beam may be used to detect an obstacle within a signal coverage of the first base station and a condition such as a speed and a path of the user equipment through the sensing resource.
In this embodiment, that the first beam is used for further communicating with the user equipment through the allocated communication resource may mean that the user equipment may receive, through the first beam, a notification of the alignment of the base station beam sent by the base station.
In the embodiment of the present application, the first base station may continuously transmit the first beam at different time instants in a scanning manner, and since the optimal beam allocation ratios obtained by the base stations at different time instants may be different, the first beams generated by the base stations at different time instants may also be different.
As shown in FIG. 4, in the embodiment of the present application, the orientations are differentThe first beam of directions may be sent in a scanning fashion, transmitted in a time-frequency multiplexed fashion. A group of first beams covering all directions form a first beam burst set to transmit in a set period t. In time domain, the number of symbols occupied by a first beam isI.e. duration of the first beam(ii) a In the frequency domain, the number of subcarriers occupied by one first beam isI.e. the first beam occupies a bandwidth of。
Step S130: and sending the first beam to the user equipment in a set period, and detecting whether an obstacle exists between the first base station and the user equipment through the first beam.
As an alternative embodiment, detecting whether an obstacle exists between the first base station and the user equipment through the first beam may be that the first base station collects echoes returned by the first beam, and determines whether an obstacle exists between the first base station and the user equipment by analyzing the echoes. Specifically, the first base station continuously transmits a first beam to the coverage area of the first base station, and the first base station may detect the moving speed, the moving direction, and the position of the user equipment at the previous time through a probe beam transmitted at the previous time or the first beam, and may estimate the position after the user equipment; during a period when the first base station sends the first beam in a scanning mode, the first beam can be sent to all areas within the coverage area of the first base station, and if the first base station receives an echo returned by the first beam, at least one position where the echo is generated in the coverage area of the first base station is marked as at least one obstacle position. As an alternative implementation, the at least one obstacle position includes positions of other terminal devices that do not send the user connection notification to the first base station, and does not include the position of the terminal device that is confirmed as the user device in step S102.
In an exemplary embodiment, step S130 may further include a sub-step S131.
Substep S131: and sending the first beam to the user equipment at a set period, and detecting whether the obstacle exists in the vicinity of a communication line between the first base station and the user equipment through the first beam.
As an optional implementation manner, the first base station may detect the moving speed, the moving direction, and the position of the user equipment at the previous time through the probe beam or the first beam transmitted at the previous time, and may estimate the position after the user equipment, so as to obtain the communication line between the first base station and the user equipment.
As an optional implementation manner, detecting whether the obstacle exists in the vicinity of the communication line between the first base station and the user equipment may be: the first base station sends a first beam to the vicinity of a communication line between the first base station and the user equipment, collects echoes returned by the first beam, and determines whether an obstacle exists in the vicinity of the communication line between the first base station and the user equipment by analyzing the echoes.
In an exemplary embodiment, step S130 may further include a sub-step S132.
Substep S132: and detecting the moving speed and the moving path of the user equipment through the first beam, and detecting whether an obstacle exists between the first base station and the user equipment in the process that the user equipment moves according to the moving speed and the moving path.
In the embodiment of the present application, the user equipment may be in a stationary state or in a moving state.
As an optional implementation manner, when the ue is in a moving state, the first base station continuously transmits the first beam to its coverage area, and the first base station may detect a moving speed, a moving direction, and a location of the ue at a previous time through the first beam transmitted at the previous time, and may estimate a moving speed and a moving path after the ue.
As an optional implementation manner, detecting whether there is an obstacle between the first base station and the user equipment during the user equipment moving according to the moving speed and the moving path may be: the first base station sends a first beam to the moving path range of the user equipment, collects echoes returned by the first beam, and determines whether an obstacle exists between the first base station and the user equipment in the moving process of the user equipment according to the moving speed and the moving path by analyzing the echoes.
Step S140: if the first base station does not detect the obstacle through the first beam, and the first base station communicates with the user equipment through the first beam and receives a first beam alignment notification sent by the user equipment, beam alignment is completed.
In this embodiment, if there is no obstacle between the first base station and the user equipment, the communication line may not be interrupted due to a short wavelength of the terahertz and/or millimeter wave signal, and meanwhile, in a case that there is no obstacle in the communication line between the first base station and the user equipment, the user equipment may receive a notification of base station beam alignment sent by the base station through the first beam, and then send the first beam alignment notification to the base station, so that the first base station confirms that the beam alignment is completed, and perform subsequent communication with the user equipment through the communication beam, where the communication beam may be a signal mainly used for communication and sent to a user in a straight line form by the base station.
As shown in fig. 2, in an exemplary embodiment, step S140 may further include a sub-step S141.
Substep S141: and if the obstacle is detected to exist near the communication line, the first base station sends an inter-cell beam switching instruction to the user equipment and the second base station, and the second base station performs beam alignment with the user equipment.
In the embodiment of the present application, if an obstacle exists between the first base station and the user equipment, the communication line may be interrupted due to a short wavelength of the terahertz and/or millimeter wave signal, and therefore, inter-cell beam switching is required to ensure normal communication.
The coverage area of the second base station may overlap with the coverage area of the first base station, and the user equipment is in the coverage area of the second base station.
As an optional implementation manner, as shown in fig. 5, when the first base station detects that an obstacle exists near a communication line between the first base station and the user equipment, and the communication line between the first base station and the user equipment is not blocked by the obstacle nearby, the first base station first sends an inter-cell beam switching instruction to the user equipment, and then sends an inter-cell beam switching instruction to the second base station, and the second base station additionally sends a second beam after receiving the inter-cell beam switching instruction, where the inter-cell beam switching instruction is used to perform beam switching between a signal cell of the first base station and a signal cell of the second base station, and the second beam is terahertz and/or millimeter wave, and may be used to sense an environment at the current time through the allocated sensing resources, and may also be used to communicate with the user equipment through the allocated communication resources.
As an alternative, the first base station may send information such as the location, moving speed, moving path of the user equipment, and the location of the obstacle to the second base station.
In this embodiment, the step of performing beam alignment with the user equipment by the second base station may refer to the contents of step S110, step S120, step S130 and step S140 in the foregoing embodiment, which is not described herein again.
As shown in fig. 2, in an exemplary embodiment, step S140 may further include a substep S142.
Substep S142: if the first base station does not detect the obstacle through the first beam and detects that the moving speed of the user equipment is greater than the communication limit of the first base station, the first base station immediately sends the first beam, and the communication limitWherein, in the step (A),is an average beam coverage, and。
in the embodiment of the present application, although there is no obstacle between the first base station and the ue, if the moving speed of the ue is too fast, the following problems may occur: before the first beam at the next moment reaches the user equipment, the user equipment leaves the coverage area of the first base station, and the first base station cannot sense and communicate with the user equipment through the first beam, so that beam switching cannot be performed in time to maintain the stability of a communication link between the first base station and the user equipment, and signals between the first base station and the user equipment are changed from beam alignment to beam misalignment.
Thus, as an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the first base station continuously tracks the user and detects obstacles using the first beam of the periodic scanning transmission. When the fact that the moving speed of the user equipment is larger than the communication limit is detected, the first base station sends an intra-cell beam switching instruction to the user equipment, wherein the intra-cell beam switching instruction is used for carrying out beam switching in a signal cell of the first base station, and then the first base station immediately sends the first beam additionally, so that the speed, the position of an obstacle and other information of the user equipment can be conveniently detected, the optimal beam distribution ratio of subsequent communication is estimated, and the user equipment is assisted in carrying out beam switching.
As shown in fig. 3, in an exemplary embodiment, step S140 may further include sub-step S143 and sub-step S144.
Substep S143: if the first base station does not detect the obstacle through the first beam, and detects that the moving speed of the user equipment is not larger than the communication limit of the first base station, and the first base station does not receive a first beam alignment notification sent by the user equipment, the network parameter at the current moment is obtained again, and the sensing resource grid parameter is increased.
Substep S144: and according to the obtained network parameters, the random geometric model and the increased sensing resource grid parameters, obtaining the optimal beam distribution ratio at the current moment again.
In this embodiment of the present application, if the first base station does not detect an obstacle, the moving speed of the user equipment is not greater than the communication limit, but the first base station does not receive the first beam alignment notification, the sensing resource of the first beam may be too small, and the sensing function may be insufficient.
As an alternative embodiment, increasing the perceptual resource grid parameter may increase the resource allocated to the perceptual functionality by the first beam.
In this embodiment, the step of re-acquiring the optimal beam distribution ratio at the current time may refer to the contents of step S111 and step S112 in the foregoing embodiment, and details are not repeated here.
As shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 7 illustrates the beam misalignment probabilityNumber of beams to base stationIn particular, fig. 7 shows the following: in a high-speed scene, the experimental relationship curve 710 without the application method, the experimental relationship curve 740 with the application method, and the simulation relationship curve 760 with the application method are used, wherein as an optional implementation manner, the high-speed scene refers to a scene where the user equipment moves faster and has lower density; fig. 7 also shows: in an urban scene, the experimental relationship curve 720 without the application method, the experimental relationship curve 730 with the application method, and the simulation relationship curve 750 with the application method are used, wherein as an optional implementation manner, the urban scene refers to a scene where the user equipment has a low moving speed and a high density. In a high-speed scene, the experimental relationship curve 740 and the simulation relationship curve 760 using the method of the present application are highly overlapped, and in an urban scene, the experimental relationship curve 730 and the simulation relationship curve 750 using the method of the present application are highly overlapped, which shows thatThe experimental results provided in fig. 7 are highly accurate.
As can be seen from fig. 7, when the method of the present application is used for beam alignment, the beam misalignment probability can be reduced by 77.8% in a high-speed scene, and the beam misalignment probability can be reduced by 63.5% in an urban scene. Therefore, under the condition of meeting the same beam switching stability requirement, namely meeting the same beam alignment probability, the base station can send more beams by using the beam alignment method provided by the application, so that a larger communication coverage range is realized.
As can also be seen from fig. 7, as the number of beams emitted by the base station increases, the misalignment probability of a beam emitted without using the method of the present application increases rapidly, and the beam alignment performance deteriorates rapidly, while the misalignment probability of a beam emitted by using the method of the present application only increases by a small amount, and the beam alignment performance is still better. Therefore, the beam alignment method provided by the application can reduce the problem of beam misalignment caused by the increase of the beams emitted by the base station.
As shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 8 illustrates the beam misalignment probabilityRatio of beam distributionIn particular, fig. 8 shows the following: in a high-speed scenario, the experimental relationship curve 810 without the method of the present application, the experimental relationship curve using the method of the present application, andan experimental relationship curve 850 at 4000, using the method of the present application anda simulation relationship curve 880 at 4000, where as an optional implementation, the high-speed scenario refers to a scenario in which the user equipment moves faster and has a lower density; fig. 8 also shows: in urban scene, the experimental relationship curve 820 without the application method and the experimental relationship curve using the application methodAn experimental relationship curve 830 at 2000, using the method of the present application andis a simulation relationship curve 860 at 2000, using the method of the present application and experimental relationship curve 840 at 4000, using the method of the present application andthe simulated relationship curve 870 at 4000, wherein, as an optional implementation, the urban scene refers to a scene where the user equipment moves at a slower speed and has a higher density of user equipment. In a high-speed scene, the method is used andthe experimental relationship curve 850 at 4000 hours is highly overlapped with the simulation relationship curve 880, and in an urban scene, the method is usedThe experimental relationship curve 830 and the simulation relationship curve 860 are highly coincident at 2000, using the method of the present applicationThe experimental relationship curve 840 at 4000 is highly coincident with the simulated relationship curve 870, illustrating that the experimental results provided by FIG. 8 are more accurate.
As can be seen from fig. 8, when the method of the present application is used for beam alignment, the optimal time-frequency allocation ratio remains unchanged for a scenario with different user equipment moving speeds and different user equipment densities, so that the beam alignment method provided by the present application is suitable for a network with a high dynamic random access characteristic, and can provide stable and consistent beam performance in a scenario with constantly changing node densities and speeds.
As shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 9 illustrates the beam misalignment probabilityOccupying bandwidth with a first beamFig. 9 shows, in particular: number of wave numbersAt 64, the experimental relationship curve 910 using the method of the present application, the experimental relationship curve 930 using the method of the present application, and the simulation relationship curve 950 using the method of the present application; fig. 9 also shows: number of wave numbersAt 32, the experimental relationship curve 920 using the method of the present application, the experimental relationship curve 940 using the method of the present application, and the simulation relationship curve 960 using the method of the present application are not used. Number of wave numbersAt 64, the experimental relationship curve 930 using the method of the present application is highly coincident with the simulation relationship curve 950, and the number of wavenumbersAt 32, the experimental relationship curve 940 using the method of the present application is highly coincident with the simulation relationship curve 960, which illustrates that the accuracy of the experimental results provided in fig. 9 is high.
As can be seen from fig. 9, in the case that the duration of the first beam is fixed, the beam misalignment probability can still be significantly reduced by only adjusting the occupied bandwidth of the first beam, so as to compensate the influence of the insufficient duration of the first beam on the beam alignment. Therefore, the beam alignment method provided by the application has better flexibility, and can obtain remarkable performance gain only by adjusting the bandwidth of the first beam.
The embodiment provides a beam alignment method, which generates a first beam according to an optimal beam allocation ratio, so that the first beam can simultaneously realize a better sensing function and a better communication function, and further preconditions are provided for beam alignment. The method also comprises the steps of sending a first wave beam generated according to the optimal distribution ratio of the wave beams to the user equipment, detecting whether an obstacle exists in the communication process between the first base station and the user equipment, and receiving a first wave beam alignment notice sent by the user equipment when the obstacle is not detected, so that the effect of wave beam alignment is achieved. The method can also carry out the beam switching between the cells when the obstacle is detected, and avoid the communication blocked by the obstacle. The method can also carry out the switching of the wave beams in the cell when the obstacle is not detected but the speed of the user equipment is detected to be too high, thereby avoiding the situation that the user sets the first wave beam with too high speed and cannot receive the first wave beam at the next moment. According to the method, when the obstacle is not detected and the user speed is not detected too fast, the sensing resource grid parameters are increased so that the first wave beam can obtain more sensing resources, the accuracy of the sensing function is improved, the effect of wave beam alignment is achieved, and the problem of wave beam misalignment in millimeter wave and terahertz communication methods is solved.
