Description

卫星通信中的切换方法和装置
本申请要求于2019年3月26日提交中国专利局、申请号为201910232727.5、申请名称为“卫星通信中的切换方法和装置”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。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术,尤其涉及一种卫星通信中的切换方法和装置。
背景技术
地球同步卫星长期以来用于移动通信,但由于地球同步卫星受限于同步卫星轨道(Geostationary Satellite Orbit,GSO),因此可以在GSO中布置的卫星的数量是有限的。作为地球同步卫星的替代方案,已设计了使用非同步卫星轨道(Non Geostationary Satellite Orbit,NGSO),例如,低地球轨道(Low Earth Orbit,LEO)中的卫星星座的通信系统,以向整个地球或者地球的大部分位置提供通信覆盖。在基于NGSO的通信系统中,卫星相对于地球表面的通信设备(例如,网关或终端设备)产生移动,同时地球表面的通信设备本身也可能处在一种运动状态,例如,通信设备位于移动的高铁或飞机上。以低轨卫星为例,其移动速度较快,离地球表面高度为1200km,那么该卫星绕地球轨道运行一周的时间大概为100分钟左右,该卫星对于一个终端设备来说,服务的时间大概在十分钟左右,因此,会存在在某个时间点终端设备从一个卫星切换到另一个卫星的情况。
相关技术的终端设备切换的过程中,基站指示终端设备进行信道质量测量,然后基站基于测量结果指示终端设备将无线链路切换到目的邻小区。
但在卫星通信中,由于卫星和终端设备的距离比较远,通常是1000km左右,在卫星和终端设备之间存在着比较长的传输时延,同时卫星本身也在高速运行,因此当终端设备在上报测量结果时,基于传输时延和卫星高速运动两个因素,很有可能卫星收到终端设备上报的测量结果时,信道的质量已经发生了明显变化,而且卫星的运动造成终端设备的频繁切换,终端设备要不断的上报测量结果,不但终端设备的能耗变大,很可能会造成系统的信令风暴,最终导致切换的失败。

该星历信息请求包括终端设备的位置信息。星历信息网元用于搜集所有卫星基站的星历信息,其可以是独立于卫星基站和5G核心网的网络侧设备,也可以设置于5G核心网 (如图2所示)中。
步骤302、星历信息网元向终端设备发送信令,该信令包括第一卫星基站的星历信息。
第一卫星基站为覆盖终端设备的卫星基站,星历信息包括卫星的轨道面的倾角,升交点的赤经,轨道椭圆长半轴,轨道椭圆的偏心率,近地点角距和卫星过近点时刻等。
步骤303、终端设备根据星历信息,确定终端设备需要切换的目的卫星基站。
终端设备如果发现服务基站的信号变弱,例如,从服务基站接收到的信号的误码率大于设定阈值时,说明此时服务基站正在远离终端,信号强度正在变弱,如果不及时切换,终端设备很可能会掉线,此时终端设备可以先根据先前得到的星历信息计算第二时间,该第二时间为覆盖终端设备的卫星基站覆盖终端设备的起始时间,然后终端设备根据第二时间确定第二卫星基站,第二卫星基站为在当前时刻之后覆盖终端设备的卫星基站,最后终端设备根据第二卫星基站的星历信息和终端设备的位置信息计算第二卫星基站与终端设备之间的距离,将第二卫星基站中距离最近的卫星基站确定为目的卫星基站。
基于步骤302获取到的星历信息,终端设备可以得到各个能够覆盖终端设备的卫星基站的移动轨迹,以及这些卫星基站覆盖终端设备的起始时间,甚至可以确定哪些卫星基站即将远离终端设备,哪些卫星基站即将接近终端设备。终端设备可以根据星历信息从N个第一卫星基站中确定M个第二卫星基站,由于卫星基站有其固有的移动轨迹,因此根据移动方向存在向着终端设备移动的卫星基站,和背离终端设备移动的卫星基站,终端设备首先排除掉背离终端设备移动的卫星基站,只保留向着终端设备移动的卫星基站,即在当前时刻之后覆盖终端设备所在位置的卫星基站。终端设备再根据M个第二卫星基站的星历信息和终端设备的位置信息计算M个第二卫星基站与终端设备之间的距离,将M个第二卫星基站中距离最近的卫星基站确定为目的卫星基站。假设终端设备自身位置为P0,P0可以通过定位装置获取,M个第二卫星基站的位置分别为P1、P2、…PM,P1、P2、…PM可以根据第二卫星基站的星历信息获取,终端设备分别计算出与各个第二卫星基站的距离D1、D2、D3、…DM,从中选择距离最短的第二卫星基站作为切换的目的卫星基站(target gNB)。
步骤304、终端设备根据确定的目的卫星基站,确定终端设备切换到目的卫星基站的第一时间。
本申请中终端设备根据目的卫星基站的星历信息计算目的卫星基站的移动速度,并根据目的卫星基站的移动速度、终端设备的移动速度以及设定的切换提前量计算第一时间。
由于信号在终端设备和卫星基站之间往返存在传输时延,因此终端设备在计算切换时间时,还需要考虑信号的传输时延,即在实际的切换时间上减去切换提前量,该切换提前量可以参考传输距离、传输速度、信号的传输时延等因素进行设定。
步骤305、终端设备根据确定的第一时间,切换到目的卫星基站包括的目的小区。
本实施例中,终端设备在第一时间到达时,接收同步信号,根据该同步信号确定目的小区。目的卫星基站包括的小区向外发送广播消息和同步信号,终端设备在接收到该同步信号后,认为具备接入该小区的条件,便确认该小区就是目的小区。
终端设备可以直接向服务小区发送切换请求,该切换请求包括目的卫星基站和目的小区的标识信息。终端设备向服务小区发送的切换请求可以通过两种方式来实现:一种是新增加一条切换请求消息,在该切换请求消息中携带目的卫星基站和目的小区的标识信息。 另一种是在现有的测量事件中增加一个新的触发事件,例如,Ax,终端设备在该测量事件中携带目的卫星基站和目的小区的标识信息。
本实施例,由终端设备根据卫星基站的位置信息确定目的卫星基站,并确定切换到目的卫星基站的时间,终端设备在该时间到达时切换到目的卫星基站包括的目的小区,由于卫星运行具有周期性,终端设备确定的切换信息同样具有周期性,而且非连接状态下终端设备可以不计算,使得终端设备不需要频繁测量信道质量和上报测量结果,减少终端设备的耗电量,节约空口资源,还避免了同一时刻大量终端设备上报测量信息导致的信令风暴。又由于卫星和终端具有移动运行的特点,网络侧的决策和主导的链路切换存在失败的概率较大,而终端设备自己选择的目的卫星基站和切换时间则可以提高切换的成功率。
图4为本申请卫星通信中的切换方法实施例二的流程图,如图4所示,本实施例的方法可以包括:
步骤401、终端设备接收广播消息。
该广播消息可以由覆盖终端设备的卫星基站中的其中一个卫星基站发送,也可以由覆盖终端设备的各个卫星基站分别发送。卫星基站可以从核心网获取自己的星历信息,星历信息包括卫星的轨道面的倾角,升交点的赤经,轨道椭圆长半轴,轨道椭圆的偏心率,近地点角距和卫星过近点时刻等,并且根据和相邻卫星基站的通信获取相邻卫星基站的星历信息,因此卫星基站可以根据星历信息计算得到覆盖某个区域的时间。卫星基站可以以广播消息的形式向终端设备发送这一计算结果。
广播消息包括覆盖终端设备的第一卫星基站的标识信息,以及第一卫星基站包括的小区的标识信息、覆盖时间和经纬度信息,第一卫星基站包括的小区在覆盖时间内覆盖经纬度信息所表示的位置。示例性的,上述广播消息可以采用表1的形式表示:
表1
卫星基站的标识信息 小区的标识信息 覆盖时间 经度 纬度
gNB ID 1 Cell ID 1 9:00-9:05 23°26'22"W 23°26'22"S
gNB ID 2 Cell ID 2 9:05-9:10 23°26'22"W 23°26'22"S
gNB ID 3 Cell ID 3 9:10-9:15 23°26'22"W 23°26'22"S
步骤402、终端设备根据星历信息,确定终端设备需要切换的目的卫星基站。
终端设备根据第一卫星基站的标识信息,以及第一卫星基站包括的小区的标识信息、覆盖时间和经纬度信息确定第一卫星基站包括的小区中最先覆盖终端设备的小区,将最先覆盖终端设备的小区所属基站确定为目的卫星基站。
由表1可知,一共有三个卫星基站(即5G基站(next Generation Node B,gNB))依时间顺序先后覆盖经度为23°26'22"W,维度为23°26'22"S所表示的位置。终端设备可以通过定位装置,例如,全球定位系统(Global Positioning System,GPS)获取自己的位置,根据表1的信息,终端设备可以知道经度为23°26'22"W,维度为23°26'22"S所表示的位置正是自己所在的位置,从而可以确定表1中的三个小区覆盖自己所在的位置的覆盖时间。终端设备将其中最先覆盖自己所在的位置的小区确定为目的小区,例如Cell ID 1,该目的小区所属基站即为目的卫星基站。
步骤403、终端设备根据确定的目的卫星基站,确定终端设备切换到目的卫星基站的第一时间。
终端设备根据目的卫星基站的覆盖时间和设定的切换提前量计算第一时间。由于信号在终端设备和卫星基站之间往返存在传输时延,因此终端设备在计算切换时间时,还需要考虑信号的传输时延,即在实际的切换时间上减去切换提前量,该切换提前量可以参考传输距离、传输速度、信号的传输时延等因素进行设定。
步骤404、终端设备根据确定的第一时间,切换到目的卫星基站包括的目的小区。
终端设备向服务小区发送切换请求,该切换请求包括目的卫星基站和目的小区的标识信息。终端设备向服务小区发送的切换请求可以通过两种方式来实现:一种是新增加一条切换请求消息,在该切换请求消息中携带目的卫星基站和目的小区的标识信息。另一种是在现有的测量事件中增加一个新的触发事件,例如,Ax,终端设备在该测量事件中携带目的卫星基站和目的小区的标识信息。
本实施例,由终端设备根据卫星基站的位置信息确定目的卫星基站,并确定切换到目的卫星基站的时间,终端设备在该时间到达时切换到目的卫星基站包括的目的小区,由于卫星运行具有周期性,终端设备确定的切换信息同样具有周期性,而且非连接状态下终端设备可以不计算,使得终端设备不需要频繁测量信道质量和上报测量结果,减少终端设备的耗电量,节约空口资源,还避免了同一时刻大量终端设备上报测量信息导致的信令风暴。又由于卫星和终端具有移动运行的特点,网络侧的决策和主导的链路切换存在失败的概率较大,而终端设备自己选择的目的卫星基站和切换时间则可以提高切换的成功率。
当服务小区接收到切换请求后,解析出目的卫星基站和目的小区,通过Xn接口向目的小区发送切换请求,从而开始第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)规定的切换流程。
