Detailed Description

The technical terms according to the embodiments of the present application will be described first.

1. Beam:

a beam refers to a special transmitting or receiving effect with directivity formed by a transmitter or receiver of a network device or terminal through an antenna array, similar to a beam formed by a flashlight converging light into one direction. The signal is sent and received in a beam mode, so that the transmission data distance of the signal can be effectively improved.

The beam may be a wide beam, or a narrow beam, or other type of beam. The technique of forming the beam may be a beamforming technique or other technique. The beamforming technique may specifically be a digital beamforming technique, an analog beamforming technique, or a hybrid digital/analog beamforming technique, etc.

The beams generally correspond to resources. For example, when performing beam measurement, the network device measures different beams through different resources, the terminal feeds back the measured resource quality, and the network device can know the quality of the corresponding beam. During data transmission, the beam can also be indicated by its corresponding resource. For example, the network device indicates a transmission configuration indication-state (state) through a transmission configuration number (transmission configuration index, TCI) field in downlink control information (downlink control information, DCI), and the terminal determines a beam corresponding to the reference resource according to the reference resource included in the TCI-state.

In a communication protocol, the beams may be characterized specifically as digital beams, analog beams, spatial filters (spatial domain filter), spatial filters (spatial filters), spatial parameters (spatial parameter), TCI-states, etc. The beam used to transmit the signal may be referred to as a transmit beam (transmission beam, or Tx beam), spatial transmit filter (spatial domain transmission filter), spatial transmit filter (spatial transmission filter), spatial transmit parameters (spatial domain transmission parameter), spatial transmit parameters (spatial transmission parameter), and the like. The beams used to receive the signals may be referred to as receive beams (or Rx beams), spatial receive filters (spatial domain reception filter), spatial receive filters (spatial reception filter), spatial receive parameters (spatial domain reception parameter), spatial receive parameters (spatial reception parameter), and the like.

It will be appreciated that embodiments of the application are described in terms of beams in general, but that beams may alternatively be understood as other equivalent concepts and are not limited to the concepts mentioned above.

2. The resource:

in a communication protocol, reference signals are configured in the form of resources. The network device configures each reference signal to the terminal in the form of a resource, i.e. a configuration information element, typically including a parameter related to the reference signal, such as a time-frequency resource location, a port number, a time-domain type (periodic/semi-static/non-periodic) of the reference signal, and so on.

The resource may be an uplink signal resource or a downlink signal resource. The uplink signals include, but are not limited to, sounding reference signals (sounding reference signal, SRS), demodulation reference signals (demodulation reference signal, DMRS). The downstream signals include, but are not limited to: channel state information reference signals (channel state information reference signal, CSI-RS), cell specific reference signals (cell specific reference signal, CS-RS), UE specific reference signals (user equipment specific reference signal, US-RS), demodulation reference signals (demodulation reference signal, DMRS), and synchronization signals/physical broadcast channel blocks (synchronization system/physical broadcast channel block, SS/PBCH block). Wherein SS/PBCH block may be simply referred to as a synchronization signal block (synchronization signal block, SSB).

The resources may be configured by a radio resource control (radio resource control, RRC) message. In configuration, a resource is a data structure that includes the relevant parameters of its corresponding uplink/downlink signal. For example, the type of uplink/downlink signal, the resource granule carrying the uplink/downlink signal, the transmission time and period of the uplink/downlink signal, the number of ports used for transmitting the uplink/downlink signal, and the like. The resources of each uplink/downlink signal have a unique identification to identify the resources of the downlink signal. It will be appreciated that the identification of a resource may also be referred to as an identification of a resource, and embodiments of the present application are not limited in this regard.

3. An antenna panel:

the antenna panel may refer to an antenna panel of a network device or an antenna panel of a terminal. An antenna panel typically has one or more antennas arranged in an array of antennas that are beamformed to form an analog beam. The antenna array may generate analog beams pointing in different directions. That is, multiple analog beams may be formed on each antenna panel, and beam measurements may be used to determine which analog beam is best used by the antenna panel. In the embodiment of the present application, unless specifically described, the antenna panels refer to the antenna panels of the terminals.

The antenna panel may be represented by a panel (panel), a panel identification (panel index), or the like, or may be implicitly represented by other means. For example, the antenna panel may be characterized by an antenna port (e.g., CSI-RS port, SRS port, DMRS port, phase-tracking reference signal (phase-tracking reference signal, PTRS) port, cell reference signal (cell-specific reference signal, CRS) port, tracking reference signal (tracking reference signal, TRS) port, SSB port, etc.), or an antenna port group, etc.), or may be characterized by a resource (e.g., CSI-RS resource, SRS resource, DMRS resource, PTRS resource, CRS resource, TRS resource, SSB resource, etc.), or a resource group, or may be characterized by a certain channel (e.g., physical uplink control channel (physical uplink control channel, PUCCH), physical uplink shared channel (physical uplink sharing channel, PUSCH), physical random access channel (physical random access channel, PRACH), PDSCH, physical downlink control channel (physical downlink control channel, PDCCH), or physical broadcast channel (physical broadcast channel, PBCH), etc.).

The technical scheme of the application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1, the communication system includes: the plurality of terminal devices, optionally, may also include a network device.

It will be appreciated that fig. 1 is a simplified schematic diagram that is illustrated for ease of understanding, and that other network devices, and/or other terminal devices, may also be included in the communication system, and that fig. 1 is not shown.

It is convenient to understand that the method for reporting electric meter data based on the internet of things provided by the embodiment of the application in fig. 2 is specifically described below.

Exemplary, fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of an electricity meter data reporting method based on the internet of things according to an embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied to the communication between the network equipment and the terminal equipment in the communication system.

As shown in fig. 2, the flow of the method for reporting the ammeter data based on the internet of things is as follows:

s201, under the condition that i is greater than 1, the electric meters in the ith electric meter sub-cluster simultaneously transmit N receiving beams through N antenna panels, and the beams of the electric meters in the ith-1 electric meter sub-cluster in the M electric meter sub-clusters are received.

The N antenna panels are in one-to-one correspondence with N receiving beams, and the beams of the electric meters in the ith-1 level electric meter sub-cluster carry electric meter data of all the electric meters in the ith-1 level electric meter sub-cluster. Before the electric meters in the i-1 level electric meter sub-cluster send the wave beams, all the electric meters in the i-1 level electric meter sub-cluster can be in a discontinuous transmission (discontinuous reception, DRX) active period, so that other electric meters except the head electric meter in the i-1 level electric meter sub-cluster can send own electric meter data to the head electric meter in the i-1 level electric meter sub-cluster for summarizing. The head meter in the i-1 th meter sub-cluster may be a meter located near the center of the i-1 th meter sub-cluster to avoid too close or too far a distance from the i-1 th meter sub-cluster. Taking the example that the i-1-th level ammeter sub-cluster comprises 3 ammeter, the 3 ammeter can be configured with serial numbers in advance, the ammeter #1 enters the DRX activation period according to the serial number sequence, the ammeter data of the ammeter #1 is sent to the ammeter #3 (head ammeter) through the beam of the ammeter #1, and then the ammeter #1 enters the DRX dormancy period. Thereafter, the meter #2 enters the DRX active period, the meter data of the meter #2 is transmitted to the meter #3 (head meter) through its own beam, and then the meter #2 enters the DRX sleep period. During this time, ammeter #3 is always in DRX active period. At this time, the meter #3 may package meter data, such as { meter data of meter #1, meter data of meter #2, meter data of meter #3 }, in order of sequence.

In addition, the electric meters in the ith electric meter sub-cluster can also be head electric meters. The head meter in the ith meter sub-cluster may be a meter located near the center of the ith meter sub-cluster to avoid being too close or too far from the ith-1 or the (i+1) th meter sub-cluster.

And in the time of N receiving beams which are simultaneously transmitted by the electric meters in the ith electric meter sub-cluster through N antenna panels, the electric meters in the ith electric meter sub-cluster and the electric meters in the ith-1 electric meter sub-cluster are both in a DRX activation period, and the electric meters in the other electric meter sub-clusters except the ith electric meter sub-cluster and the ith-1 electric meter sub-cluster in the M-level electric meter sub-clusters are all in a DRX dormant period, namely, interference of the beams of the electric meters in the other electric meter sub-clusters to the beams of the ith-1 electric meter sub-cluster and the ith electric meter sub-cluster is avoided, so that the communication quality can be ensured. That is, when configuring DRX, it is necessary to stagger the DRX sleep period and the DRX active period of the electric meters in each level of the electric meter sub-cluster. For example, DRX active periods in the electricity meters in the level 1 and level 2 electricity meter sub-clusters are t1-t2, DRX active periods in the electricity meters in the level 2 and level 3 electricity meter sub-clusters are t3-t4, and DRX sleep periods in the electricity meters in the level 3-t4 and level 1 electricity meter sub-clusters, and so on.

S202, electric meters in the ith electric meter sub-cluster simultaneously transmit N transmitting beams through N antenna panels.

The N reception beams are wide beams, and the N transmission beams are narrow beams, that is, power consumption at the time of reception is reduced, and a transmission distance at the time of transmission is increased.

The N antenna panels are in one-to-one correspondence with the N transmission beams, and each transmission beam of the N transmission beams carries meter data of all meters in the 1 st to i th level meter sub-clusters, in other words, since the head meter in the i th level meter sub-cluster may not know the azimuth of the head meter in the i+1 th level meter sub-cluster, the N transmission beams can be simultaneously transmitted through the N antenna panels, so as to realize omnidirectional coverage, and ensure that the beams can be received by the head meter in the i+1 th level meter sub-cluster.

In one possible design, the meter data for all meters in the level 1 to level i meter sub-clusters may include i sets of data. Each of the i sets of data may include a cyclic prefix portion and a data portion. For example, the cyclic prefix portion of the 1 st group of data in the i group of data is at least part of the data portion of the i th group of data in the i group of data, and the data portion of the 1 st group of data is the electric meter data of all electric meters in the 1 st electric meter sub-cluster in the M-level electric meter sub-cluster; the cyclic prefix part of the 2 nd group of data in the i group of data is at least part of the data part of the 1 st group of data, and the data part of the 2 nd group of data is the ammeter data of all ammeter in the 2 nd ammeter sub-cluster in the M-level ammeter sub-cluster; until the cyclic prefix part of the ith group of data is at least part of the data part of the ith-1 th group of data, and the data part of the ith group of data is the ammeter data of all the ammeter in the ith-level ammeter sub-cluster. That is, part of the data of the former group of data can be used as the cyclic prefix of the latter group of data, that is, the cyclic prefix technology of multiplexing air interface transmission (the function of the cyclic prefix technology in the air interface is anti-multipath effect), that is, the data structure is more complex, so as to ensure the safety of data transmission.

Alternatively, in one possible design, the meter data for all meters in the level 1 to level i meter sub-clusters may include i sets of data. Each of the i sets of data may include a cyclic prefix portion and a data portion. For example, the cyclic prefix portion of the 1 st group of data in the i group of data is at least part of the data portion of the 2 nd group of data in the i group of data, and the data portion of the 1 st group of data is the electric meter data of all electric meters in the 1 st electric meter sub-cluster in the M-level electric meter sub-cluster; the cyclic prefix part of the 2 nd group of data in the i group of data is at least part of the data part of the 3 rd group of data, the data part of the 2 nd group of data is the ammeter data of all the ammeter in the 2 nd ammeter sub-cluster in the M-level ammeter sub-cluster, and the cyclic prefix part of the i group of data is at least part of the data part of the 1 st group of data until the data part of the i group of data is the ammeter data of all the ammeter in the i-level ammeter sub-cluster. That is, part of the data of the latter group of data can be used as the cyclic prefix of the former group of data, that is, the cyclic prefix technology of multiplexing air interface transmission (the function of the cyclic prefix technology in the air interface is anti-multipath effect), that is, the data structure is more complex, so as to ensure the safety of data transmission.

Optionally, the at least part of data is the first s bits, or the last t bits, or the s to t bits predefined in the data set where the at least part of data is located, s is different from t, and s and t are both positive integers. For example, { meter data of meter #1, meter data of meter #2, meter data of meter #3 } total 100 bits, the first 20 bits being the cyclic prefix of meter data of all meters in the i-th level meter sub-cluster. And, at least part of the data of any two groups of data are different in bit positions of the data groups, for example, the former group of data is the first s bits, and the latter group of data is the last t bits, so that the data security is enhanced. In addition, since the receiving end knows the rules of the cyclic prefixes, demodulation can be performed according to the same rules, such as the first s bits, the last t bits, or the s-th to t bits are removed.

Optionally, the data portion of each group of data in the i group of data includes respective meter data of a plurality of meters in the primary meter sub-cluster corresponding to the group of data, and the respective meter data of two adjacent meters in the plurality of meters are divided by a divider, the divider is a plurality of bits continuously 0 or 1, and the number of bits continuously 0 or 1 in the respective meter data of the two meters is smaller than the number of bits of the divider. For example, 011101100000111011, 0000 is a partitioner, 0111011 is the meter data of meter #1, and 1110111 is the meter data of meter # 2.

In a possible design, after receiving N reception beams of the electric meters in the i-1 th electric meter sub-cluster in the M-th electric meter sub-cluster by the N antenna panels, and before the electric meters in the i-th electric meter sub-cluster simultaneously transmit N transmission beams by the N antenna panels, the head electric meter receives N reception beams of other electric meters except the head electric meter in the i-th electric meter sub-cluster by the N antenna panels, wherein the beams of the other electric meters carry electric meter data of the other electric meters, in the time when the head ammeter receives the N receiving beams simultaneously sent by the N antenna panels, and the beams of the other ammeter except the head ammeter in the ith ammeter sub-cluster, all the ammeter in the ith ammeter sub-cluster are in a DRX activation period (or may be in the DRX activation period in sequence), and the ammeter in the other ammeter sub-clusters except the ith ammeter sub-cluster in the M ammeter sub-cluster are in a DRX sleep period, the specific implementation may refer to the related description, and no further description is given here.

And the head ammeter in the M-level ammeter sub-cluster can send ammeter data of all the ammeter in the M-level ammeter sub-cluster to access network equipment so as to be transmitted to a control center of the power system through a network.

In summary, by dividing the electric meter cluster into M-level electric meter sub-clusters, the electric meter in the next-level electric meter sub-cluster (i.e. the i-1-level electric meter sub-cluster) can report its own electric meter data to the electric meter in the previous-level electric meter sub-cluster (i.e. the i-level electric meter sub-cluster), and the i-level electric meter sub-cluster sums its own electric meter data and reports the combined electric meter data to the M-level electric meter sub-cluster until reporting to the M-level electric meter sub-cluster, that is, the communication between the devices of the large-scale electric meter cluster is realized.
