However, the analog-digital mixed forming architecture combining the analog phase shifter and the digital link restricts the antenna channel of the base station, so that the base station only has a wave beam in one direction at one moment of the full bandwidth; user Equipment (UE) needs to access a base station under different beams for communication; hardware constraints of the user equipment also result in the need to calibrate uplink beam measurements at different time instants. The method comprises the steps of firstly selecting a plurality of user equipment for pairing, then reconfiguring uplink measurement resources for the user equipment and measuring to obtain multi-user channel information, or based on an uplink periodic measurement channel initially accessed and configured by the user equipment, using uplink and downlink reciprocal wave beams to measure for multiple times at different measurement occasions to obtain the multi-user channel information, then screening the user equipment meeting multi-user scheduling conditions based on the multi-user channel information, and finally carrying out multi-user scheduling based on the multi-user channel information. The method needs additional signaling interaction with the millimeter wave terminal, which causes large measurement overhead and greatly reduces the performance of the system.

The embodiments of the present invention will be further explained with reference to the drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of a multi-user device scheduling method; the multi-user equipment scheduling method is applied to a base station, and the base station applies a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output system.
As shown in fig. 1, a method for scheduling multiple user devices includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:
step S100, performing single user channel measurement on a plurality of user equipments accessing to the base station, respectively, to obtain single user channel information corresponding to each user equipment, where the single user channel information at least includes a strength value and uplink channel information fed back by the user equipment to the beam.
It should be noted that the single-user channel refers to a channel measured by the base station using a beam corresponding to a single user, and the multi-user channel refers to a channel measured by the base station using a beam corresponding to a multi-user. In the millimeter wave system, due to the existence of analog beams, a multi-user pair needs to be selected first, and then a base station receives a channel Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) by using beams corresponding to multiple users, so that the multi-user channel measurement can be realized. Therefore, the single-user channel measurement is simpler in acquisition and calculation compared with the multi-user channel measurement, and meanwhile, the cost is lower.
It should be noted that the user equipment includes a mobile terminal, an intelligent terminal, a multimedia device, a streaming media device, and other user terminals.
For step S100, the single user channel measurement includes downlink channel beam strength measurement, and the measured single user channel information is a strength value fed back to the beam by the user equipment. The downlink channel beam intensity measurement specifically comprises: the base station sequentially transmits a plurality of wave beams to each user equipment accessed to the base station to obtain the strength value fed back by the user equipment to different wave beams. For example, 10 ues in a cell access a base station, the base station covers the whole cell by using 16 preset beams, and when the base station performs downlink channel beam strength measurement, the base station first transmits a beam with a beam number of 1 to each ue, receives feedback of each ue on the beam with the beam number of 1, and measures a strength value. Then, the beam with the beam number 2 is re-emitted, and feedback of the beam with the beam number 2 by each user equipment is received and the intensity value is measured. And polling the beams according to the process until 16 preset beams are transmitted to the user equipment, and further obtaining the strength value fed back by the user equipment to the beams.
In addition, after the measurement of the downlink channel beam intensity is completed and the intensity value fed back by each user equipment to each beam is obtained, the method further comprises the following steps: constructing an intensity table according to the intensity value fed back by each user equipment to each wave beam, and recording the intensity table in a log; the intensity table comprises intensity values fed back by each user equipment for each beam. The intensity table is recorded in a log, so that the intensity table is convenient to call and query later.
The base station measures the downlink channel beam intensity of 10 accessed user equipments through 16 preset beams, and the obtained intensity table is shown in table 1.
TABLE 1 Strength Meter
Figure BDA0003300017370000041
In addition, P is 1,1 The UE number 1 indicates the strength value fed back by the UE with respect to the beam number 1, and the same applies to other cases.
The single-user channel measurement comprises uplink channel sounding reference signal measurement, and the single-user channel information obtained through measurement is uplink channel information. The uplink channel sounding reference signal measurement specifically includes: the method comprises the steps that uplink channel sounding reference signal measurement is respectively carried out on a plurality of user equipment accessing a base station, each user equipment can send channel sounding reference signals to the base station at different moments, namely, uplink channel information is the channel sounding reference signals, and the channel sounding reference signals are used for estimating the uplink channel quality and providing reference for multi-user scheduling.
Of course, through the single-user channel measurement, other single-user channel information may also be obtained, such as the channel quality of the user equipment and the correlation of each channel corresponding to the user equipment.
Step S200, for each user equipment, according to the corresponding intensity value, pairing the user equipment with the beam corresponding to the maximum value in the intensity values.
For step S200, the maximum value of the intensity values corresponding to each user equipment may be determined from the intensity table, and the user equipment is paired with the beam corresponding to the maximum value. For example, for the UE with UE number 1, the maximum value P from which the corresponding strength value can be obtained is searched from the strength table 1,2 Then, the UE with UE number 1 is paired with the beam with beam number 2, that is, the UE with UE number 1 will communicate with the base station using the beam with beam number 2.
Step S300, according to a preset multi-user device scheduling condition, determining at least one candidate user device from a plurality of user devices, and using a beam paired by the candidate user device as a candidate beam.
For step S300, according to a preset multi-user device scheduling condition, at least one candidate user device is determined from multiple user devices, and a beam paired by the candidate user device is used as a first candidate beam, which specifically includes: determining at least one candidate user equipment from the plurality of user equipments according to the channel quality of the user equipment and the correlation of each channel corresponding to the user equipment, and taking a beam paired by the candidate user equipment as a first candidate beam.
For example, a beam with a beam number of 2 is paired with a user equipment with a UE number of 1 and a user equipment with a UE number of 3, and the user equipment with the UE number of 1 meets the multi-user equipment scheduling condition, while the user equipment with the UE number of 3 does not meet the multi-user equipment scheduling condition, the user with the UE number of 1 is taken as a candidate user equipment, and the user with the UE number of 3 is not taken as the candidate user equipment; correspondingly, the beam with beam number 2 is taken as the first candidate beam.
For another example, if the beam with the beam number 1 is paired with the UE number 5, and the UE with the UE number 5 does not meet the multi-UE scheduling condition, the UE with the UE number 5 is not a candidate UE, and correspondingly, the beam with the beam number 1 is not the first candidate beam.
It should be noted that the preset scheduling condition of the multi-user device is a condition function determined by the channel quality of the user device and the correlation of each channel corresponding to the user device, and can be obtained according to historical data.
In addition, in step S300, after the step of determining at least one candidate user equipment from the plurality of user equipments according to the preset multi-user equipment scheduling condition, and using the beam paired by the candidate user equipment as the first candidate beam, the method further includes the following steps: constructing a pairing table according to the pairing relationship between the beam and the user equipment and the pairing relationship between the beam and the candidate user equipment, and recording the pairing table in a log; the pairing table comprises at least pairing relationships of beams and user devices and pairing relationships of beams and candidate user devices. The pairing list is recorded in a log, so that the pairing list is convenient to call and query later.
Table 2 shows an obtained pairing table after the base station measures the downlink channel beam intensity of 10 accessed user equipments through 16 preset beams.

Step S400, determining the priority of the candidate user equipment, and determining the priority of the first candidate beam according to the priority of the candidate user equipment.
For step S400, determining the priority of the candidate ue, specifically: and obtaining the priority of the candidate user equipment according to the service type of the candidate user equipment. The priority may be calculated by a function related to the service type of the user equipment, including retransmission, guaranteed bit rate, etc.
Determining the priority of the first candidate beam according to the priority of the candidate user equipment specifically includes: and for each candidate beam, carrying out weighted average on the priorities of the candidate user equipment corresponding to the first candidate beam to obtain the priority of the first candidate beam.
Step S500, determining a target beam according to the priority of the first candidate beam, and determining target user equipment corresponding to the target beam according to the priority of the candidate user equipment.
For step S500, determining the target beam according to the priority of the first candidate beam specifically includes: screening a second candidate beam from the first candidate beam, wherein the second candidate beam is the first candidate beam with the number of corresponding candidate user equipment larger than or equal to a first set threshold; and taking the priority of the first candidate beams as the priority of the second candidate beams, when the number of the second candidate beams is greater than or equal to a second preset threshold, sorting the priorities of the second candidate beams according to a descending order, and selecting all the second candidate beams ranked before the second preset threshold as target beams.
It should be noted that the first preset threshold is obtained according to historical experience, and the specific value may be changed according to actual requirements. The second preset threshold is obtained according to actual requirements, that is, the number of target user equipments that need to perform multi-user equipment scheduling.
For example, the first set threshold is 2, and the first candidate beam includes a beam with a beam number of 2, a beam with a beam number of 5, a beam with a beam number of 8, and a beam with a beam number of 10. If the beam with the beam number of 2 is paired with the user equipment with the UE number of 1, the candidate user equipment is 1 and is smaller than a first set threshold; the beam with the beam number of 5 is paired with the user equipment with the UE number of 4 and the user equipment with the UE number of 6, the beam with the beam number of 8 is paired with the user equipment with the UE number of 7 and the user equipment with the UE number of 8, and then the candidate user equipment is 2 and is equal to a first set threshold; if the beam with the beam number of 10 is paired with the user equipment with the UE number of 9 and the user equipment with the UE number of 10, the candidate user equipment is 2 and is equal to the first set threshold. The beam with the beam number 5, the beam with the beam number 8, and the beam with the beam number 10 are taken as the second candidate beams.
UE number 4 user equipment has a priority of 0.5, UE number 6 user equipment has a priority of 0.7, and beam number 5 beam has a priority of 0.6. The priority of the user equipment with the UE number 7 is 0.3, the priority of the user equipment with the UE number 8 is 0.7, and the priority of the beam with the beam number 5 is 0.5. The priority of the user equipment with the UE number 9 is 0.7, the priority of the user equipment with the UE number 10 is 0.9, and the priority of the beam with the beam number 10 is 0.8.
The number of the second candidate beams is 3, which is greater than a second preset threshold. Then the beam with the beam number 5, the beam with the beam number 8 and the beam with the beam number 10 are sorted according to the priority from large to small, and the sorting result is as follows: beam number 10, beam number 5, and beam number 8. The first 2 beams, i.e., the beam with the beam number 10 and the beam with the beam number 5, are selected as the target beam.
For another example, in another embodiment, the second preset threshold is 4. Only the beam with the beam number 5, the beam with the beam number 8, and the beam with the beam number 10 are taken as the second candidate beams. If the number of the candidate beams is 3 and is less than the second preset threshold, the subsequent steps are not continuously executed until the new user equipment accesses the base station and the sum of the number of the second candidate beams corresponding to the new user equipment and the number of the second candidate beams corresponding to the previous user equipment is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold.
The determining, according to the priority of the candidate user equipment, the target user equipment corresponding to the target beam specifically includes: and for each target beam, sorting the priorities of the corresponding candidate user equipment according to a descending order, and selecting all the candidate user equipment with the ranking before a third preset threshold value as the target user equipment.
It should be noted that the third preset threshold is obtained according to historical experience, and the specific value may be changed according to actual requirements.
For example, the third preset threshold is 1, for a beam with a beam number of 5 as a target beam, the priority of the user equipment with a UE number of 4 is 0.5, the priority of the user equipment with a UE number of 6 is 0.7, the user equipment with a UE number of 4 and the user equipment with a UE number of 6 are sorted according to the priority from large to small, and the sorting result is: the UE with the UE number 6 and the UE with the UE number 4 select the first 1 UEs, that is, the UE with the UE number 6, as the target UE.
For the beam with the beam number of 10, the priority of the user equipment with the UE number of 9 is 0.7, the priority of the user equipment with the UE number of 10 is 0.9, the user equipment with the UE number of 9 and the user equipment with the UE number of 10 are sorted according to the priority from large to small, and the sorting result is as follows: the user equipment with the UE number 10 and the user equipment with the UE number 9 select the first 1 user equipment, that is, the user equipment with the UE number 10, as the target user equipment.
That is, the final target UE is UE number 6 and UE number 10.
The target beam and the target user equipment suitable for multi-user equipment scheduling under the combination of frequency division multiplexing and space division multiplexing can be screened out through the step S500.
Step S600, for each target wave beam, resource block allocation is carried out for the corresponding target user equipment, and resource block allocation parameters are obtained.
For step S600, for each target beam, resource Block (RB) allocation is performed for the corresponding target ue, and Resource Block allocation parameters are obtained, which specifically include: and for the target user equipment corresponding to each target beam, distributing resource blocks for the target user equipment based on a frequency division multiplexing rule according to the business data volume ratio of the target user equipment, and obtaining resource block distribution parameters.
For example, a resource block includes N RB And (4) sub-blocks. The beam with the beam number of 7 and the beam with the beam number of 4 are used as target beams, 1 user equipment is used as target user equipment in the beam pair with the beam number of 7, the target user equipment is defined as UE7-1, and 2 user equipment are used as target user equipment in the beam pair with the beam number of 7, and the target user equipment is respectively defined as UE4-1 and UE4-2.
For the beam with the beam number of 7, as only one target user equipment UE7-1 is paired, the service data volume of the UE7-1 accounts for 100%, the whole resource block is allocated to the UE7-1, and the resource block occupied by the UE7-1 is 1-N RB
For the beam with the beam number of 4, the traffic data volume ratio of the UE4-1 and the UE4-2 is a: b, and a + b =1, then the resource block occupied by the UE4-1 is 1-N RB1 The resource block occupied by the UE4-2 is N RB1 -N RB . And the ratio of the number of the resource blocks occupied by the UE4-1 to the number of the resource blocks occupied by the UE4-2 is the same as the ratio of the service data volume of the UE4-1 to the service data volume of the UE4-2, namely a: b. Then the resource block allocation parameter is N RB1
Since step S700 is a step performed according to the uplink channel information, and the time from processing step S200 to step S600 is required to acquire the uplink channel information in step S100, before step S700 is executed, in order to ensure that the uplink channel information of the target ue is within the time interval threshold, the method further includes a step of updating the outdated uplink channel information, which includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:
acquiring the measurement time of the uplink channel information of the target user equipment, wherein the measurement time is the time for measuring the uplink channel sounding reference signal in the step S100 to acquire the uplink channel information; obtaining a measurement time interval according to the measurement time and the current time; and re-measuring the uplink channel sounding reference signal by the target user equipment with the measurement time interval exceeding the time interval threshold to obtain new uplink channel information so as to replace the outdated uplink channel information.
The time interval threshold is set manually and obtained from historical experience.
Referring to fig. 2, in step S700, multi-user equipment scheduling is performed on a target user equipment according to uplink channel information and resource block allocation parameters.
For step S700, the base station issues a command to the physical layer to perform step S700. Step S700 includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:
