- the satellite base station broadcasts the TAs corresponding to the 10 beams in Table 1 to the terminal device. It has been analyzed above that if 0.1 is used as the granularity, 70 bits are required to directly characterize these 10 TAs.
- the common part 4.6 of the 10 TAs is first extracted, and then the difference between the 10 TAs and the common part is determined. Sort all the differences according to the magnitude of the value to get the second sequence [0 0 0.3 0.3 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.2 0.4 0.2]. Calculate the difference between every two adjacent data in the second sequence, as shown in Table 6.
- the first data in the second sequence is used as reference data, and the first indication information characterizing the reference data requires 1 bit.
- the common part can also be characterized in other ways. For example, if the public part broadcast by the satellite base station has only a few discrete fixed values, and these values are large, you can establish a mapping relationship between these discrete values and a small number of bits of indication information, and indicate these through the mapping relationship Discrete values.
- the orbital height of the satellite is relatively discrete, and there are only a few relatively fixed values.
- the orbit height of low orbit (LEO) is generally 300 ⁇ 1500km
- the orbit height of medium orbit (MEO) is generally 7000 ⁇ 25000km
- the orbit height of geostationary orbit (GEO) is generally at Near 36000km.
- the current common altitudes are 300km, 600km, 700km and 1200km. Therefore, by establishing a mapping relationship between the four common heights and the indication information of 2 bits, the four heights can be broadcast to the terminal device. For example, the mapping relationship between 00, 01, 10 and 11 and these four track heights is established. Or, use different logos to establish a mapping relationship with these four heights. As shown in Table 7.
- the satellite base station does not need to directly inform the terminal device of the specific value of the public part, and may use some identifiers or a small number of bits to indirectly indicate the specific value of the public part.
- This broadcast method is particularly useful for GEO communications, and LEO can also be used. Even if some types and/or heights are added to each satellite orbit in the future, generally speaking, the types and heights of satellite orbits will still be relatively discrete and limited. Therefore, this instruction method is still applicable.
- the third indication information can be used as a SIB alone, or can occupy a part of SIB or RMSI. Alternatively, the third indication information may also be sent through the control channel or the data channel.
- the third indication information may be designed to include two fields, which are the orbit type indication (denoted as orbit type indication) and the current beam/cell offset from the reference TA (denoted as current beam/cell specific TA value) .
- orbit type indication has a total of 4 bits, and the value range is 0 to 15.
- the current beam/cell specific TA value has a total of 5 bits, the unit is 0.1 ms, and the value is 0 to 31.
- the second two digits 00 in 1100 can be used to indicate that the satellite is the base station, and the last two digits 01 in 1101 can be used for the satellite transponder. In this case, some bits for indicating the type of satellite can be saved.
- the method for sending data provided by the present application is introduced above.
- the application of the method of the present application in a satellite communication system is described below in conjunction with a satellite communication system.
- a satellite can generate multiple beams, and each beam can have multiple sub-beams.
- the transmission delay of each sub-beam and the compensation value of the Doppler spectrum can be broadcast using the method described in this article.
- each beam (for example, spot) generated by a satellite is mapped to a cell, and each cell can generate multiple sub-beams for different coverage areas.
- Each beam generated by the satellite can also be directly mapped into a different synchronization signal block (synchronization signal block, SSB).
- synchronization signal block synchronization signal block
- SSB synchronization signal block
- these sub-beams appear in the form of synchronization signal blocks.
- a satellite base station generates a specific tracking beam for a specific user or user group.
- This tracking beam may appear in the form of a channel state information reference signal (channel-state information-reference signal, CSI-RS) port.
- CSI-RS channel-state information-reference signal
- Each tracking beam It can also be seen as a sub-beam in this cell.
- the satellite base station broadcasts the transmission delay to the UE, it can first broadcast a transmission delay for the common part of the satellite, and then broadcast the incremental delay and the corresponding increase of each SSB based on the transmission delay of the common part. The amount of delay. Compared with the satellite base station directly broadcasting the delay of each SSB in each cell, physical resource overhead can be saved.
- the overall height of a satellite constellation is around 700km, which contains 4 orbits with slightly different heights, and each orbit contains 10 satellites.
- the four orbits with slightly different heights are hereinafter referred to as track 1, track 2, track 3, and track 4, respectively.
- the transmission delay can be expressed as delay 1+delay 2.
- delay 1 means 700km of public delay.
- Time delay 2 represents the common time delay offset between track 1 and track 4 relative to 700 km. It should be understood that for satellites in different orbits, the delay 2 is different.
- the delay 2 of the track 1 may specifically be the delay 2a, and the delay 2 of the track 2 may specifically be the delay 2b.
- the delay 2 of the track 3 may specifically be a delay 2c, and the delay 2 of the track 4 may specifically be a delay 2d.
- the terminal device broadcasts the delay 1 + delay 2 through the satellite base station, and can calculate the transmission delay information of the satellite in a certain orbit. For example, for a satellite in orbit 2, the transmission delay should be delay 1 + delay 2b. For satellites in orbit 3, the transmission delay should be delay 1 + delay 2c.
- the satellite base station may use the above method 400 to broadcast TA to the UE. Alternatively, some other equivalent broadcast methods may also be used.
- HAPS high altitude platforms
- LEO low orbit
- MEO medium orbit
- GEO geostationary orbit
- 00 HAPS
- 01 LEO
- 10 MEO
- 11 GEO
- different default altitudes can be represented by different binary values, for example, 00, 01, 10, and 11 respectively represent four default altitudes of 300 km, 600 km, 700 km, and 1200 km, or multiples thereof.
- 0110 means a satellite with a height of 600km in LEO orbit.
- these four default heights can also be identified by identification.
- mark a, mark b, mark c, and mark d indicate heights of 300 km, 600 km, 700 km, and 1200 km, respectively. Identifying the height of discrete satellite orbits by using identifiers can avoid transmitting specific values of orbital heights, especially for specific scenarios where the orbital heights of satellites are discrete and limited in number, which has obvious advantages.
- the actual TA adjustment may only adjust a part of the transmission, giving up the complete timing alignment on the base station side, and only enabling the uplink signal to achieve frame boundary alignment, or subframe boundary alignment, or symbol alignment on the satellite side.
- the transmission delay information broadcast by the satellite base station to the terminal device it is more convenient for the transmission delay information broadcast by the satellite base station to the terminal device to be an integer multiple of the scheduling time granularity of the communication system.
- the system has a subframe length of 1ms, a single transmission delay of 3.2ms, and a round-trip transmission delay of 6.4ms.
- the uplink TA of the UE 0.4ms, then there will be a deviation of 6ms when the uplink signal reaches the satellite base station.
- the satellite base station still needs to notify the UE due to the 6ms timing deviation caused by the transmission delay. Since the length of the system subframe is 1 ms, the satellite base station can only broadcast the number 6.
- the broadcasting method of the satellite base station can be an integer multiple of the system frame length. At that time, when the delay was smaller, the broadcasting method of the satellite base station could be an integer multiple of the symbol. This broadcast method and direct broadcast of numbers can avoid the generation of decimal points, which can reduce the number of bits (or bytes) required to characterize delay information.
- the method for broadcasting data provided by the present application can also reduce the communication overhead between satellites or between satellites and ground stations.
- the UE switches between satellites at the same orbital height. In this case, switching within the same satellite orbit can eliminate the need to exchange information about changes in transmission delay due to changes in orbital height, and only need to send the difference increment. section.
- the UE switches between different beams of a satellite, and there is no need to exchange information about changes in transmission delay due to changes in satellite height.

Description
本申请要求于2018年12月29日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为201811636354.X、申请名称为“广播数据的方法和装置”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。
本申请涉及卫星通信领域,更具体地,涉及一种广播数据的方法和装置。
在卫星通信系统中,卫星基站需要广播大量的数据给终端设备。例如,卫星基站向终端设备广播时间提前量(timing advance,TA)、多普勒频率偏移的补偿值等。而对于一个卫星来说,它通常会产生不止一个波束(beam),不同波束的TA和多普勒频率偏移的补偿值各不相同。而在现有方案中,卫星基站通常都是直接广播这些数据,比特开销非常大,而这些比特开销将会占用大量的物理资源。
发明内容
本申请提供一种广播数据的方法,能够降低卫星基站广播数据时的物理资源的开销。
第一方面,本申请提供一种广播数据的方法,应用于卫星通信系统,该方法包括:卫星基站获取需要广播的多个数据,所述多个数据为卫星基站产生的多个波束各自对应的多普勒频率偏移的补偿值、多普勒频率偏移的变化率、传输时延、传输时延的变化率、时间提前量TA、TA的变化率和所述多个波束的角度中的同一种数据;卫星基站根据所述多个数据,确定参考数据以及所述多个数据中的每个数据相对于参考数据的偏移;卫星基站向终端设备发送第一指示信息和多个第二指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示参考数据,每个第二指示信息用于指示所述多个数据中的一个数据相对于参考数据的偏移。
在本申请的技术方案中,卫星基站根据需要广播的多个数据,确定一个参考数据,并计算所述多个数据相对于参考数据的差值。由于所述多个数据相对于参考数据的差值和这些数据本身相比,数值减小,并且这多个数据相对于参考数据的差值和这些数据本身相比,数值范围也减小,因此,和直接表征这多个数据本身相比,表征参考数据和所述多个数据相对于参考数据的差值所需的比特数减少,因此可以降低卫星基站广播这多个数据的比特开销,从而降低物理资源的开销。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,卫星基站根据所述多个数据,确定参考数据以及所述多个数据中的每个数据相对于参考数据的差值,包括:卫星基站将所述多个数据按照数值大小进行排序,并将排序后得到的第一序列中的第一个数据或最后一个数据确定为参考数据,并计算第一序列中每两个相邻数据的差值;以及,每个第二指示信息具体用于指示所述第一序列中每两个相邻数据的差值。
应理解,卫星基站将需要广播的多个数据按照数值大小进行排序之后,每两个相邻数据的差值相对于这多个数据本身,数值变小。因此,表征一个参考数据,以及这多个数据相对于参考数据的差值总共所需的比特数,要小于直接表征这多个数据所需的比特数。
需要说明的是,将这多个数据按照数据大小进行排序之后,再计算相邻两个数据的差值,可以减小相邻两个数据差值的大小,从而可以节省广播这些差值所需的比特个数。
例如,卫星基站产生的多个波束各自的多普勒频率偏移的补偿值各不相同,但是这些补偿值满足从负数到正数波动,且相邻波束的补偿值的差异不大。因此,按照各个波束的多普勒频率偏移的补偿值按照数值大小进行排序,卫星基站只广播排序后相邻两个波束的补偿值的差值,并将排序后的第一个补偿值或最后一个补偿值进行广播,可以节省直接广播这些波束的多普勒频率偏移的补偿值所需的比特数。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,卫星基站根据所述多个数据,确定参考数据以及所述多个数据中的每个数据相对于参考数据的差值,包括:卫星基站确定所述多个数据的公共部分,并计算所述多个数据中的每个数据相对于公共部分的差值;卫星基站将多个数据中的每个数据相对于公共部分的差值按照数值大小进行排序,并将排序后得到的第二序列中的第一个差值或最后一个差值确定为参考数据,并计算第二序列中每两个相邻数值的差值;以及,第一指示信息用于指示第二序列中的第一个差值或最后一个差值,每个第二指示信息用于指示第二序列中的每两个相邻差值的差值;以及,该方法还包括:卫星基站向终端设备发送第三指示信息,第三指示信息用于指示所述公共部分。
应理解,多个数据的公共部分例如可以是这多个数据中数值最小的数据。在该实施例中,卫星基站在将该多个数据按照数值大小进行排序之前,首先提取出这多个数据的公共部分,并通过第三指示信息来表征该公共部分的数值大小。同时将这个多个数据被减去公共部分之后的数值按照数值大小进行排序,再从排序后得到的第二序列中确定参考数据,并通过第一指示信息来表征参考数据。同时,通过多个第二指示信息分别指示第二序列中每两个相邻数值的差值。
需要说明的是,考虑到卫星基站产生的多个波束的多普勒频率偏移的补偿值、多普勒频偏的补偿值的变化率、传输时延的变化率、TA的变化率以及波束的角度等数据的特点,本实施例中描述的提取公共部分的处理,在应用于TA、卫星的轨道高度、传输时延等数据时,尤其可以有效减少表征这些数据所需的比特数。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,卫星基站确定所述多个数据的公共部分,包括:卫星基站将多个数据中数值最小的数据确定为公共部分;或者,卫星基站将所述多个数据的平均值作为公共部分;或者,卫星基站根据所述多个数据的数值大小,确定一个约定数值作为公共部分。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,卫星基站向终端设备发送第三指示信息之前,该方法还包括:卫星基站根据和所述终端设备约定的n个离散数据和n个指示信息的映射关系,确定公共部分对应的第三指示信息,其中,映射关系中约定了n个离散数据和n个指示信息的对应关系,每个指示信息用于指示所对应的离散数据,所述n个离散数据中包括所述公共部分,每个离散数据的二进制表示所需的比特数小于所对应的指示信息所包含的比特数,n≥1且为整数。
这里,所述n个离散数据中包括所述公共部分,是指所述公共部分是这n个离散数据 中的一个。
卫星基站通过建立有限个离散数据和少量比特的指示信息之间的映射关系,卫星基站在需要广播这些离散的数据时,直接可以通过向终端设备发送和这些数据具有映射关系的指示信息来指示这些数据,可以降低比特开销。在这有限个离散数据的数值越大的时候,节省的比特数也越多。
第二方面,本申请提供一种广播数据的装置,应用于卫星通信系统中,用于执行第一方面或第一方面的任意可能的实现方式中的方法。具体地,该装置包括执行第一方面或第一方面的任意可能的实现方式中的方法的单元。

下面将结合附图,对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
本申请的技术方案可以应用于卫星通信系统。参见图1,图1是卫星通信系统的架构示意图。卫星通信系统100通常由空间段、地面段和用户段三部分组成。空间段可以由静止轨道(geostationary earth orbit,GEO)卫星、非静止轨道(none-geostationary earth orbit,NGEO)卫星或者两者构成的多颗卫星网络101构成。地面段一般包括卫星测控中心102、网络控制中心(network control center,NCC)103以及各类关口站(gateway)104等,关口站或称信关站。其中,网络控制中心也称为系统控制中心(system control center,SCC)。用户段由各种终端设备构成。终端设备可以是各种移动终端106,例如,移动卫星电话,也可以是各种固定终端107,例如,通信地面站等。图1中虚线是指卫星与终端之间的通信信号。实线是指卫星与地面段的设备之间的通信信号。双向箭头线是指地面段的网元之间的通信信号。在卫星通信系统中,卫星也可以称为卫星基站。在图1中,卫星基站可以向终端设备传输下行数据。其中,下行数据可以经过信道编码、调制映射后传输给终端设备。终端设备也可以向卫星基站传输上行数据。其中,上行数据也可以经过信道编码、调制映射后传输给卫星基站。
地面段中的卫星测控中心102具有保持、监视和控制卫星的轨道位置和姿态,并管理卫星的星历表等功能。网络控制中心103具有处理用户登记、身份确认、计费和其它的网络管理功能。在一些卫星移动通信系统中,网络控制中心和卫星测控中心是合二为一的。关口站104具有呼叫处理、交换以及与地面通信网的接口等功能。地面通信网105是卫星网络的地面段的一个组成部分,用于将卫星的数据包交换到核心网、发送至最终的终端设备。地面通信网可以是公共交换电话网(public switched telephone network,PSTN)、公共地面移动网(public land mobile network,PLMN)或其它各种专用网络,不同地面通信网要求关口站具有不同的网关功能。
在一些卫星通信系统中,卫星通信系统的空间段可以是由管理卫星和一个或多个服务卫星组成的多层结构。在多层结构的卫星通信系统的组网中,空间段可以包括一颗或多颗管理卫星以及这些管理卫星管理的服务卫星。本申请中提到的卫星或卫星基站不限于是管理卫星或服务卫星。
卫星基站和终端设备包括但不限于采用如下通信系统进行通信:全球移动通信(global system for mobile communications,GSM)系统、码分多址(code division multiple access,CDMA)系统、宽带码分多址(wideband code division multiple access,WCDMA)系统、通用分组无线业务(general packet radio service,GPRS)、长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统、LTE频分双工(frequency division duplex,FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(time division duplex,TDD)、通用移动通信系统(universal mobile telecommunication system,UMTS)、全球互联微波接入(worldwide interoperability for microwave access,WiMAX)通信系统、未来的第五代(5th generation,5G)系统或新无线(new radio,NR)等。
本申请实施例中的终端设备需要通过卫星通信系统的地面段接入移动卫星通信网络中进行移动通信。终端设备可以指用户设备(user equipment,UE)、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设 备、用户代理或用户装置。终端设备还可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(session initiation protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)站、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备,未来5G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公用陆地移动通信网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)中的终端设备等。以卫星电话、车载卫星系统为代表的终端设备可以与卫星直接通信。以地面通信站为代表的固定终端需要经地面站中继后才能与卫星通信。终端设备通过安装有无线收发天线实现对通信状态的设置、获取,完成通信。
下面对本申请的技术方案进行介绍。
参见图2,图2是本申请提供的广播数据的方法200的示意性交互图。方法200应用在卫星通信系统中,由卫星基站执行。
201、获取需要广播给终端设备的多个数据。
这里,卫星基站需要广播给终端设备的多个数据是卫星基站产生的多个波束各自对应的多普勒频率偏移的补偿值、多普勒频率偏移的变化率、传输时延、传输时延的变化率、时间提前量TA、TA的变化率和所述多个波束的角度中的同一种数据。
或者说,卫星基站在向终端设备广播卫星基站产生的多个波束各自对应的多普勒频率偏移的补偿值、多普勒频率偏移的变化率、传输时延、传输时延的变化率、时间提前量TA、TA的变化率或所述多个数据的角度时,可以采用方法200进行广播。
可选地,上述补偿值可以是预补偿值,或者后补偿值。
202、卫星基站根据所述多个数据,确定参考数据以及所述多个数据中的每个数据相对于参考数据的偏移。
这里,参考数据可以是从这多个数据中选择出的一个数据,例如这多个数据中数值最小的数据。或者,也可以是根据这多个数据的数值大小而确定的一个数据,这里不作限定。
另外,所述多个数据中的每个数据相对于参考数据的偏移,可以是每个数据相对于参考数据的直接偏移,或者,也可以是每个数据相对于参考数据的间接偏移。例如,假设有3个数据5.8,6.4和7。如果将5.8作为参考数据,那这3个数据相对于参考数据的直接偏移分别为0,0.6和1.2。或者,5.8相对于参考数据的偏移为0,6.4相对于5.8的偏移为0.6,7相对于6.4的偏移为0.6。根据参考数据5.8和偏移0,可以知道第一个数据为5.8。在第一个数据的基础上加上0.6,得到第二个数据6.4。在6.4的基础上再加上0.6.得到第三个数据。
203、向终端设备发送第一指示信息和多个第二指示信息。
其中,第一指示信息用于指示参考数据。每个第二指示信息用于指示所述多个数据中的一个数据相对于参考数据的偏移。
在本申请的技术方案中,卫星基站根据需要广播的多个数据,确定一个参考数据,并计算所述多个数据中的每个数据相对于参考数据的偏移。由于每个数据相对于参考数据的偏移和这个数据本身相比,数值变小,并且这多个数据相对于参考数据的偏移和这多个数据本身相比,数值范围也变小。而卫星基站广播参考数据和该多个数据中的每个数据相对于参考数据的偏移,终端设备也可以确定出卫星基站广播的该多个数据。因此,和直接广播这些数据本身相比,卫星基站广播一个参考数据,并广播这多个数据中的每个数据相对 于参考数据的偏移需要的比特数更少,从而可以降低物理资源的开销。
其中,第一指示信息和第二指示信息可以单独作为一个系统信息块(system information block,SIB),也可以作为SIB的一部分,也可以是剩余最小系统信息(remaining minimum system information,RMSI)的一部分。换句话说,第一指示信息、第二指示信息可以携带在SIB或者RMSI发送给终端设备。
考虑到SIB或者RMSI潜在的资源有限,第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息还可以通过控制信道或数据信道传输。
终端设备从卫星基站接收到第一指示信息和多个第二指示信息之后,执行步骤204。
204、终端设备根据从卫星基站接收到的第一指示信息和多个第二指示信息,确定卫星基站广播的多个数据。
终端设备根据第一指示信息指示的参考数据,以及每个第二指示信息指示的这多个数据中的一个数据相对于参考数据的差值,也可以确定出卫星基站实际广播的每一个数据。
方法200在具体实现时,卫星基站和终端设备可以预先约定采用方法200来广播数据。从而,终端设备对接收到的数据进行步骤204中所述的处理后,可以确定卫星基站广播的多个数据。
或者,作为另一种实现,卫星基站每次在广播数据之前,先用少量比特的配置信息向终端设备或地面指示广播数据的方式。例如,0表示采用直接广播数据的方式。1表示采用本申请提供的广播数据的方式。
下面对本申请的技术方案进行举例说明。
例如,本申请的发明人发现,一个卫星的不同波束的TA具有其平均值远大于其波动范围的特点。因此发明人想到,可以通过将TA减去一个参考数据的方法来减少广播所需的位宽。假设卫星基站产生的10个波束各自对应的TA如表1中所示。
表1
波束标识 | TA |
1 | 5.8 |
2 | 6.4 |
3 | 7.0 |
4 | 7.2 |
5 | 6.6 |
6 | 6.6 |
7 | 5.5 |
8 | 4.6 |
9 | 4.6 |
10 | 4.9 |
从表1可以看出,TA的取值范围是4.6~7.2。当用二进制表示小数时,通常是按照粒度来表示的。例如,如果按照粒度等于0.1来表示,4.6=46×0.1,7.2=72×0.1。而上述TA中的最大数值为7.2,如果采用现有方案直接广播表1中的10个TA,每个TA需要用7个比特(因为2
6=64<72,2
7=128>72)来表征。10个TA共需要7×10=70个比特。
根据本申请提供的方法200,可以从表1中的10个TA中选择参考TA,假设选择数值最小的一个TA作为参考TA,也即参考TA为4.6。表1中的10个TA分别减去参考TA,得到的差值参见表2所示。
表2
波束标识 | 各TA与参考TA的差值 |
1 | 1.2 |
2 | 1.8 |
3 | 2.4 |
4 | 2.6 |
5 | 2 |
6 | 2 |
7 | 0.9 |
8 | 0 |
9 | 0 |
10 | 0.3 |
从表2可以看出,10个波束各自对应的TA与参考TA的差值的数值范围为0到2.6。以粒度等于0.1为例,最大值2.6=26×0.1。表示26需要5个比特,10个TA共需要5×10=50个比特。另外,表示参考TA(即,4.6)还需要7个比特。因此,10个TA共需要50+7=57个比特。相对于现有方案的70个比特,可以减少(70-57)=13个比特。
如上文所述,第一指示信息或第二指示信息可以携带在SIB或RMSI中发送。例如,卫星基站在指示一个波束对应的TA相对于参考TA的差值时,第二指示信息可以被设计为包括参考TA的数值(记作ref.TA value),波束索引(记作beam index)和特定波束相对于参考TA的差值(记作beam specific TA value)共3个字段。例如,ref.TA value共6个比特,作为后续其它波束的TA的参考数值,单位为0.1ms,取值为0~63。beam index共4比特,表示特定波束的索引,取值为0~15。beam specific TA value共5比特,表示该特定beam相对于参考TA的偏移(或者说差值),单位为0.1ms,取值为0~31。
由于SIB和RMSI的资源有限,第一指示信息或第二指示信息也可以通过控制信道或数据信道进行发送。例如,第二指示信息被设计为包括ref.TA value和current beam specific TA value共2个字段。其中,ref.TA value共6比特,作为后续TA的参考值,单位为0.1ms,取值为0~63。current beam specific TA value共5比特,表示某一个特定beam相对于参考TA的偏移,单位为0.1ms,取值为0~31。
可选地,除了当前波束(current beam)之外的其它波束的TA的信息可以在数据信道中传输。并且,其它波束的TA的信息可以是基于终端设备的请求而发送的,或者也可以是卫星基站默认发送的。
以上的描述中,beam也可以替换为cell。
此外,本申请的发明人发现,多普勒频率偏差的补偿值(也简称为多普勒频偏的补偿值)具有如下特点:(1)从负数波动到正数;(2)相邻波束的多普勒频偏的补偿值差异不大。由此,发明人想到利用各个波束的多普勒频偏的补偿值之间的规律来广播各波束的 多普勒频偏的补偿值。
参见图3,图3是卫星基站产生的不同波束的多普勒频偏的补偿值的示意图。如图3所示,卫星基站正下方产生的波束的多普勒频偏的补偿值为0。沿着卫星前进的方向,各波束的角度越来越大,而各波束对应多普勒频偏的补偿值也随着波束角度的变大而依次变大。其中,多普勒频偏的补偿值的最大值为41kHZ。但是,观察这些补偿值之间差值,发现最大差值只有28kHZ。假设利用二进制来直接表示这些补偿值,则41需要6个比特。而如果表示这些补偿值的差值,最大的差值28需要5个比特。可见,将全部的多普勒补偿值表示,表示补偿值的差异值与直接表示这些补偿值相比,可以减小所需的bit的数量。
因此,本申请的发明人想到将不同波束的多普勒频偏的补偿值进行差分,并通过广播这些多普勒频偏的补偿值的差分值,将各个波束的多普勒频偏的补偿值广播给终端设备。
进一步地,为了减少差分的数值,可以对波束标识的排序做一些调整。在广播时只广播相邻两个波束的差值。这个过程可以描述如下步骤(1)-(4)。步骤(1)-(4)可以由卫星基站执行。
(1)获取不同的波束标识,以及这些不同的波束标识对应的多普勒频偏的补偿值。
(2)根据这些多普勒频偏的补偿值的数值大小,对波束标识进行调整。
例如,按照多普勒频偏的补偿值从大到小或者从小到大的顺序排序。
(3)依次计算排序后每两个相邻波束标识对应的多普勒频偏的补偿值的差值。
(4)用二进制表征排序后的第一个波束标识对应的多普勒频偏的补偿值以及每两个相邻波束标识对应的多普勒频偏的补偿值的差值。
卫星基站的一些其它数据也具有和多普勒频率偏移的补偿值相似的规律,因此这些具有和多普勒频频率偏移的补偿值相似特点的数据可以根据如下过程压缩后再进行广播。
卫星基站将这多个需要广播的数据按照数值大小进行排序,得到第一序列。卫星基站将第一序列中的第一个数据或者最后一个数据确定为参考数据,再计算第一序列中每两个相邻数据的差值。以参考数据为第一序列中的第一个数据为例,参考数据加上第一序列中的第一个数据和第二个数据的差值就得到第一序列中的第二个数据。在此基础上,参考数据再加上第一序列中的第二个数据和第三个数据的差值,就得到第一序列中的第三个数据。以此类推,根据参考数据和第一序列中每两个相邻数据的差值,终端设备也可以确定出基站实际需要广播的这多个数据。
因此,卫星基站通过第一指示信息指示一个参考数据,再通过多个第二指示信息指示第一序列中每两个相邻数据的差值,也可以起到将这多个数据广播给终端设备的目的。并且,由于第一序列是按照这多个数据的数值大小排序得到的,因此第一序列中的数值大小是单调变化的,第一序列中每两个相邻数据的差值更小。从而,用于指示每两个相邻数据的差值的第二指示信息所包含的比特数更少,可以进一步降低比特开销,从而可以进一步降低物理资源开销。
例如,卫星基站产生的10个波束以及和这10个波束各自的多普勒频率偏移的补偿值如表3所示。
表3
波束标识 | 多普勒频偏的补偿值 |
1 | -32 |
2 | -30 |
3 | -27 |
4 | -19 |
5 | -6 |
6 | 2 |
7 | 9 |
8 | -20 |
9 | -22 |
10 | -14 |
按照现有的广播多普勒频偏的补偿值的方法,上述表3中的10个波束标识对应的10个多普勒频偏的补偿值的范围是+9到-32。用1个比特来表示多普勒频偏的补偿值的正负,再用5个比特表示多普勒频偏的补偿值的数值大小,共需要(5+1)×10=60个比特。
根据本申请实施例的方法,卫星基站按照数值大小将这10个多普勒频偏的补偿值进行排序,例如按照从小到大的顺序,使得这10个波束标识对应的10个多普勒频偏的补偿值单调变化,得到第一序列[-32 -30 -27 -22 -20 -19 -14 -6 2 9]。进一步地,将第一序列中的第一个数据-32作为参考数据。第一序列中每两个相邻数据的差值如表4所示。
表4
从表4中可以看出,相邻两个多普勒频偏的补偿值的差值的范围为0~8,4个比特就可以表示,10个差值需要4×10=40个比特。同时,排序后的第一个多普勒频谱的补偿值为-32,表示-32需要6个比特。这样,将这10个多普勒频偏的补偿值广播给接收端,共需要(40+6)=46个比特,小于采用直接广播方式的60个比特。
应理解,在这个示例中,卫星基站向终端设备发送第一指示信息和10个第二指示信息。其中,第一指示信息用于指示-32,为6bit的二进制序列。每个第二指示信息用于指示10个差值中的一个,为4bit的二进制序列。
卫星基站向终端设备发送第一指示信息和多个第二指示信息。第一指示信息具体用于指示第一序列中的第一个数据或最后一个数据。在表4中,如果第一指示信息用于指示第 一序列中的第一个数据(也即,-32),则第一指示信息需要6个比特,其中,1个比特用来表征第一个数据的正负,另外5个比特用于表征第一个数据的数值大小。
同时,第一序列中每两个相邻数据的差值的取值范围为0~8,共9个数值。因此每个第二指示信息包括4个比特,每个第二指示信息用于指示这9个数值中的一个,也即表4中第3列的一个数值。
需要特别说明的是,表4中波束标识1对应的相邻两个数据的差值为“0”,是指将第一序列中的第一个数据作为参考数据,因此,第一序列中的第一个数据与参考数据的差值为0。也就是说,第一指示信息具体指示第一序列中的第一个数据时,第一序列中的第一个数据被作为后续相邻两个数据的差值的偏移量(或者说参考数据)。终端设备接收到第一指示信息指示的偏移量(第一序列中的第一个数据或最后一个数据),以及每个第二指示信息指示的差值,可以确定出卫星基站实际广播的这多个数据。
又例如,卫星基站需要广播给终端设备的10个波束和其各自对应的TA如上述表1所示。根据本申请的技术方案,卫星基站首先将各个波束对应的TA按照数值大小排序,得到第一序列,并将第一序列中的第一个数据或最后一个数据作为参考数据。第一序列中每两个相邻数据的差值如表5所示。表5中以参考数据为第一序列中的第一个数据为例进行说明。
表5
从表5可以看出,TA的取值范围是4.6~7.2。当用二进制表示小数时,通常是按照粒度来表示的。例如,如果按照粒度等于0.1来表示,4.6=46×0.1,7.2=72×0.1。而上述TA中的最大数值为7.2,如果采用现有方案直接广播表4中的10个TA,每个TA需要用7个比特(因为2
6=64<72,2
7=128>72)来表征。10个TA共需要7×10=70个比特。
根据本申请的方法,卫星基站向终端设备广播10个TA排序得到的序列中每两个相邻TA的差值和差值的偏移量。从表5中第3列可以看出,差值的范围为0~0.6。粒度为0.1时,最大值0.6需要3个比特就可以表示。偏移值4.6需要6个比特(因为2
5=32<46,2
6=64>46)来表示。因此,总共需要3×10+6=36个比特。相比于现有技术的70个比特,可以降低比特开销。
此外,本申请还提供一种广播数据的方法400。参见图4,图4是本申请提供的广播 数据的方法400的示意性交互图。方法400的步骤401-404可以由卫星基站执行。
401、获取所述卫星基站产生的多个波束各自对应的多个数据。
402、确定该多个数据的公共部分,并计算所述多个数据中的每个数据相对于公共部分的差值。
这里,公共部分可以为该多个波束对应的多个数据的平均值。或者,公共部分也可以为接近于平均值的一个数值。或者,公共部分可以为各个波束对应的多个数据中数值位于中间的一个数据,或者也可以是数值位于中间附近的一个数据。或者,公共部分也可以是各波束对应的多个数据中数值最小的一个,或者也可以是根据多个数据而约定的一个数据。
403、将所述多个数据中的每个数据相对于公共部分的差值按照数值大小进行排序,并将排序后得到的第二序列中的第一个差值或者最后一个差值确定为参考数据,并计算第二序列中每两个相邻数据的差值。
404、向终端设备发送第一指示信息、多个第二指示信息和第三指示信息。
其中,第一指示信息用于指示参考数据。每个第二指示信息用于指示第二序列中每两个相邻数值的差值。第三指示信息用于指示公共部分。
进一步地,终端设备还可以执行步骤405。
405、终端设备根据第一指示信息、多个第二指示信息和第三指示信息,确定卫星基站广播的多个数据。
具体地,终端设备根据第一指示信息和多个第二指示信息,可以确定出第二序列中的全部数据,也即卫星基站广播的这多个数据中的每个数据相对于公共部分的差异部分。根据第三指示信息,终端设备可以确定公共部分的数值大小。将第一指示信息、多个第二指示信息和第三指示信息结合,可以确定出卫星基站实际广播的多个数据。
例如,卫星基站要将表1中的10个波束对应的TA广播给终端设备。上文已经分析过,如果以0.1为粒度,直接表征这10个TA需要70个比特。
而根据方法400,首先提取出这10个TA的公共部分4.6,再分别确定这10个TA分别相对于公共部分的差值。将所有的差值按照数值大小进行排序,得到第二序列[0 0 0.3 0.6 0.3 0.6 0.2 0 0.4 0.2]。计算第二序列中每两个相邻数据的差值,如表6所示。
表6
根据方法400,将第二序列中的第一个数据作为参考数据,表征参考数据的第一指示信息需要1个比特。第二序列中最大数值为0.6,以0.1为粒度,每个第二指示信息需要3个比特。因此,10个第二指示信息需要3×10=30个比特。而第三指示信息用于指示公共部分4.6,也以0.1为粒度,需要6个比特。由此可见,卫星基站要将这10个波束的TA广播给终端设备,共需要1+30+6=37个比特。
为了进一步降低比特开销,公共部分也可以采用其它的方式来表征。例如,如果卫星基站广播的公共部分只有几个离散的固定数值,且这些数值较大,那么可以将这几个离散的数值和少量比特的指示信息之间建立映射关系,通过映射关系来指示这些离散的数值。
例如,卫星的轨道高度相对是离散的,且只有几个相对固定的数值。低轨道(low earth orbit,LEO)的轨道高度一般在300~1500km,中轨道(medium earth orbit,MEO)的轨道高度一般在7000~25000km,静止轨道(geostationary earth orbit,GEO)的轨道高度一般在36000km附近。以LEO为例,目前的常见高度为300km,600km,700km和1200km。因此,通过将这4个常见高度和2bits的指示信息建立映射关系,就可以将这4个高度广播给终端设备。例如,分别将00,01,10和11和这4个轨道高度建立映射关系。或者,采用不同的标识和这4个高度建立映射关系。如表7所示。
表7
轨道高度(km) | 表征方式1 | 表征方式2 |
300 | 00 | a |
600 | 01 | b |
700 | 10 | c |
1200 | 11 | d |
换句话说,由于公共部分的取值可能是离散的,卫星基站无需向终端设备直接通知公共部分的具体取值,可以采用一些标识或少量的比特来间接地指示公共部分的具体取值即可。这种广播的方式对于GEO的通信特别有用,LEO也可以使用。即使以后各卫星轨道新增一些类型和/或高度,但是总体来说,卫星轨道的类型以及高度仍然会是相对离散,并且也是有限的。因此,这种指示方式也依然是适用的。
第三指示信息可以单独作为一个SIB,也可以占用SIB或RMSI的一部分。或者,第三指示信息也可以通过控制信道或数据信道进行发送。
例如,第三指示信息可以被设计为包括2个字段,分别为轨道类型指示(记作orbit type indication)和当前波束/小区相对于参考TA的偏移(记作current beam/cell specific TA value)。其中,orbit type indication共4比特,取值范围为0~15。current beam/cell specific TA value共5比特,单位是0.1ms,取值为0~31。
举例来说,orbit type indication 0110表示LEO 1200km高度的卫星,如果针对卫星被直接定义为基站的场景,参考TA的值就是1200km/3e5km/s=4ms。又比如,1100表示GEO高度的卫星,如果针对卫星被直接定义为基站的场景,参考TA的值就是36000km/3e5km/s=120ms。如果针对卫星被直接定义为转发器的场景,参考TA的值就是36000km/3e5km/s*2=240ms。并且由于GEO只有一种轨道高度,在LEO中被用于细分轨 道高度的bit可被用于指示别的信息。例如,可以用1100中后面两位的00表示卫星为基站的情况,1101中的后两位01表示卫星转发器的情况,此时可以节省一些用于指示卫星类型的bit。
以上对本申请提供的发送数据的方法进行了介绍。下面结合卫星通信系统,说明本申请的方法在卫星通信系统中的应用。
从比较细化的场景来说,一个卫星可以产生多个波束(beam),每个波束又可以有多个子波束(sub-beam)。每个子波束的传输时延和多普勒频谱的补偿值都可以采用本文中介绍的方法进行广播。例如,一个卫星产生的每个波束(例如,spot beam)被映射为一个小区(cell),每个小区又可以针对不同的覆盖区域产生多个子波束(sub-beam)。卫星产生的每个波束也可以直接映射成为不同的同步信号块(synchronization signal block,SSB)。例如,在新空口(new radio,NR)中,这些sub-beam是以同步信号块的形式出现的。又例如,卫星基站针对特定的用户或者用户组,产生特定的跟踪波束,这个跟踪波束可能以信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information-reference signal,CSI-RS)端口的形式出现,每个跟踪波束也可以看作在这个小区里的子波束。卫星基站在向UE广播传输时延时,可以首先广播一个针对该卫星的公共部分的传输时延,再在公共部分的传输时延的基础上广播增量时延以及每个SSB各自对应的增量时延。相比于卫星基站直接广播每个cell中的每个SSB的时延,可以节省物理资源开销。
从宏观的场景来说,一个卫星组内有多个卫星。一个卫星星座内的不同卫星,或者某一个高度内特定轨道的卫星,或者同一个地理位置区域内的卫星共享一个公共传输时延。我们可以将上述方式1中的方法应用来这里,也即把这些卫星共享的公共传输时延提取出来,从而减少针对每个卫星的传输时延的表示。
例如,假定一个卫星星座的整体高度在700km左右,其中包含4个高度略有不同的轨道,每个轨道包含10个卫星。为了便于说明,以下将该4个高度略有不同的轨道分别记作轨道1、轨道2、轨道3和轨道4。根据本申请中的方法200,对于某一个轨道(假设记作轨道2)上的某一个卫星(假设记作卫星A)来说,其传输时延可以表示为时延1+时延2。其中,时延1表示700km的公共时延。时延2表示轨道1~轨道4相对于700km产生的公共时延偏移。需要理解的是,对于不同轨道上的卫星来说,时延2各不相同。例如,轨道1的时延2具体可以为时延2a,轨道2的时延2具体可以为时延2b。轨道3的时延2具体可以为时延2c,轨道4的时延2具体可以为时延2d。终端设备通过卫星基站广播的时延1+时延2,可以计算出某个轨道上的卫星的传输时延信息。例如,对于轨道2上的卫星,传输时延应为时延1+时延2b。对于轨道3上的卫星,传输时延应为时延1+时延2c。
进一步地,由于卫星轨道的高度相对是离散的,卫星基站可以采用上述方法400向UE广播TA。可选地,也可以采用一些其它的等效的广播方法。
例如,针对位于不同轨道高度上的卫星,例如,高空平站台(high altitude platform stations,HAPS)、低轨道(low earth orbit,LEO)、中轨道(medium earth orbit,MEO)和静止轨道(geostationary earth orbit,GEO),可以分别用二进制00,01,10和11来表示。例如,00表示HAPS,01表示LEO,10表示MEO,11表示GEO。
进一步地,针对某一个轨道,可以再用不同的二进制分别表示不同的默认高度,例如, 分别用00,01,10和11分别表示300km,600km,700km和1200km这4个默认高度或其倍数。则0110表示位于LEO轨道上的高度为600km的卫星。可选地,这4个默认高度也可以采用标识来标识。例如,标识a,标识b,标识c和表示d分别标识高度为300km,600km,700km和1200km。采用标识来标识离散的卫星轨道的高度,可以避免传输轨道高度的具体数值,尤其针对卫星的轨道高度是离散的、有限的几个数值这种具体的场景具有明显的优点。
从系统定时设计的角度看,实际的TA调整可能只调整传输的一部分,放弃在基站侧的完全定时对齐,只使得上行信号在卫星侧能够实现帧边界对齐,或者子帧边界对齐,或者符号对齐。此时,卫星基站广播给终端设备的传输时延信息以通信系统的调度时间颗粒度的整数倍较为方便。例如,系统一个子帧长度为1ms,单次传输时延为3.2ms,往返传输时延为6.4ms。系统设计中,UE上行的TA=0.4ms,那么上行信号到达卫星基站时会有6ms的偏差。此时,TA虽然只有0.4ms,但是由于传输时延带来的6ms的定时偏差,卫星基站仍然需要通知UE。由于系统子帧的长度为1ms,卫星基站可以只广播数字6。当时延更大时,卫星基站广播的方式可以是系统帧长度的整数倍。当时延更小时,卫星基站广播的方式可以是符号的整数倍。这种广播方式和直接广播数字可以避免产生小数点,从而可以减少表征时延信息所需的比特数(或称,字节数)。
另外,本申请提供的广播数据的方法还可以降低卫星之间或者卫星和地面站之间的通讯的开销。例如,UE在同一个轨道高度的卫星之间进行切换,此时同一个卫星轨道内的切换可以无需交互由于轨道高度发生变化而带来的传输时延变化的信息,只需要发送差异的增量部分。又例如,UE在一个卫星的不同波束(beam)之间进行切换,也无需交互由于卫星高度变化带来的传输时延的变化信息。
在卫星通系统中,卫星轨道高度、卫星和地面覆盖区域的距离、卫星波束的角度、传输时延、传输时延的变化率、多普勒的变化率、卫星在地面覆盖区域的大小等。这些描述卫星小区或者卫星波束的特征量都具有空间相关特性,所以均可以使用本申请提供的方法来发送,从而减少传输这些信息需要的比特数,进而降低物理资源的开销。
