Description

传输寻呼消息的方法及装置
本申请要求于2018年03月31日提交中国专利局、申请号为201810278571.X、申请名称为“传输寻呼消息的方法及装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及传输寻呼消息的方法及装置。
背景技术
相比于长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)通信系统,第五代(5th generation,5G)通信系统采用更高的载波频率来实现更大带宽、更高传输速率的无线通信。由于高频信号波长较短,对物体阻挡的穿透力较差,在传输过程中容易受到障碍物的阻拦,因此高频信号在传输过程中衰减较快,路径损耗较大。为此,5G通信系统中采用波束赋形(beamforming,BF)技术来获得具有良好方向性的波束,以提高在发射方向上的功率,改善接收端的信干噪比(signal to interference plus noise ratio,SINR)。
目前,在寻呼过程中,由于网络设备并不能获知通信设备当前驻留于哪一个波束的覆盖区域,因此,为了保证通信设备能够接收到寻呼消息,网络设备以波束扫描(beam sweeping)的方式向通信设备发送寻呼消息,即网络设备使用不同指向的波束向通信设备发送寻呼消息。例如,网络设备具有5个不同指向的波束,网络设备先使用波束1向通信设备发送寻呼消息;在未成功寻呼到通信设备的情况下,网络设备再使用波束2向通信设备发送寻呼消息;以此类推,最终,网络设备使用波束5向通信设备发送寻呼消息。可见,上述方案存在下行时频资源浪费的问题。
