本申请要求在2019年08月06日提交中国专利局、申请号为201910722074.9、申请名称为“一种天线面板状态的通知方法、设备、芯片及存储介质”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。
本申请涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种天线面板状态的通知方法、设备、芯片及存储介质。
在高频通信系统中,为了克服路损,网络设备和终端通常都会使用具有方向性的高增益的天线阵列(模拟波束)进行通信。由于网络设备和终端都能够产生多个波束,所以需要选取合适方向的波束进行通信。
在高频通信系统中,终端设备通常会配备多个天线面板(antenna panel)或者称为天线阵列(antenna array),可以覆盖多个不同的方向,每个天线面板可以负责产生一个或多个波束。图1示例性示出了一种配备多种天线面板的终端设备的结构示意图,如图1所示,终端设备100配备有多个天线面板101。终端设备100的每一个天线面板101都可以朝向一个方向。
目前一种实现方式是终端设备在同一时间只使一个天线面板处于激活(activation)状态,而其它天线面板处于去激活(deactivation)状态。处于激活状态的天线面板可以用于进行数据传输,处于去激活状态的天线面板不能用于数据传输,数据传输为数据发送或数据接收。终端设备的一个天线面板可以在激活状态和去激活状态之间进行转换。
现有技术中,网络设备对终端设备的天线面板的状态并不感知,如此,网络设备进行调度时,可能会调度到处于去激活状态的天线面板,进而导致数据传输失败或数据传输时间加长。

本申请实施例中的天线面板(antenna panel)可以简称面板(panel)。每个天线面板可以配置一个或多个接收波束,以及一个或多个发送波束。因此,天线面板也可以理解为波束组。通信设备,如终端设备或网络设备,可以通过天线面板上的接收波束接收信号,也可以通过天线面板上的发送波束发送信号。
具体地,网络设备与终端设备通过天线进行通信,即,终端设备与网络设备利用天线进行信号的接收与发送。终端设备和网络设备上都具有天线单元(antenna element)。多个天线单元可以集成在一个面板上,这个集成了天线单元的面板称为天线面板(也可用panel表示)。每个天线面板可产生一个或多个波束(beam),即每个天线面板可以朝向一个或多个方向发送和接收信号。
天线面板还可表示为天线阵列(antenna array)或者天线子阵列(antenna subarray)。一个天线面板可以包括一个或多个天线阵列(天线子阵列)。一个天线面板可以由一个或多个晶振(oscillator)控制。一个射频电路可以驱动天线面板上的一个或多个天线单元。因此,一个天线面板可以由一个射频链路驱动,也可以由多个射频链路驱动。射频链路又可以称为接收通道和/或发送通道,接收机支路(receiver branch)等。因此,天线面板还可替换为射频链路或者驱动一个天线面板的多个射频链路或者由一个晶振控制的一个或多个射频链路。
天线面板还可以是一个逻辑概念,一个天线面板可以是一个逻辑实体,(即不体现物理天线结构),例如是天线端口的集合,或者发送和/或接收波束的集合,或者一个发送和/ 或接收方向的集合。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备和网络设备可以通过面板标识ID来对天线面板进行区分。天线面板的标识可以是一个逻辑标识,也可以以参考信号资源集合标识(和/或同步信号块资源集合标识)体现,例如,探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS)resource set ID、信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS)resource set ID等,还可以是参考信号资源标识(和/或同步信号块资源标识),例如SRS resource ID、CSI-RS resource ID等。当panel标识为参考信号资源或参考信号资源集合的标识时,若该标识为上行参考信号资源(或上行参考信号资源集合),则该标识对应发送该上行参考信号资源(或上行参考信号资源集合)的上行发送天线面板或其对应的下行接收面板;若该标识为下行参考信号资源和/或同步信号资源,该标识对应接收该下行资源和/或同步信号资源的下行接收面板或其对应的上行发送面板。
本文中术语“系统”和“网络”在本文中常被可互换使用。本文中术语“和/或”,仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,本文中字符“/”,一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
本申请中,“至少一个”是指一个或者多个,“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达,是指的这些项中的任意组合,包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如,a,b,或c中的至少一项(个),可以表示:a,b,c,a-b,a-c,b-c,或a-b-c,其中a,b,c可以是单个,也可以是多个。
标识或标识信息,用于标识一个对象,对象可以是:终端设备、用户。一个标识可包括名称、编号、ID(Identification)中的至少一项,只要能够将被标识的对象与其他对象区别开即可。
基于图2所示的系统架构,图3示例性示出了本申请实施例提供的一种天线面板状态的通知方法流程示意图,如图3所示,包括以下步骤:
步骤301,终端设备的第一天线面板从激活状态变更为去激活状态,向网络设备发送通知消息;其中,通知消息用于指示第一天线面板从激活状态变更为去激活状态。
本申请实施例中的“第一天线面板”、“第二天线面板”、“第三天线面板”和“第四天线面板”中的“第一”、“第二”、“第三”和“第四”仅仅是为了区分,不具有限定意义。第一天线面板为终端设备的任一个天线面板。
本申请实施例中的终端设备的天线面板有两个状态,激活(activation)状态和去激活(deactivation)状态。天线面板处于激活状态是指该天线面板可以用于进行数据传输,比如天线面板处于启用状态,或者也可以称激活状态为ON状态,上电状态等。处于去激活状态是指该天线面板不能用于进行数据传输,比如天线面板处于未启用状态,也可以是指天线面板处于休眠状态或者关闭状态,也可以称为OFF状态,下电状态。
相对应地,网络设备接收终端设备发送的通知消息,通知消息用于指示终端设备第一天线面板从激活状态变更为去激活状态。
步骤302,网络设备根据通知消息确定第一天线面板从激活状态变更为去激活状态。
由于在现有的3GPP Release 15(R15)协议中,终端设备的天线面板对于网络设备来说是不可见的,或者,也可以说R15协议主要管理的是单面板的终端设备。现有技术中,网络设备在调度终端设备进行上行传输时,并不关心终端设备使用哪个天线面板来传输,也 不关心终端设备的天线面板处于激活或者去激活状态,这种情况下,调度到处于去激活状态的终端设备的概率较大,而通过本申请实施例中上述步骤301至步骤303所提供的方案,终端设备在第一天线面板从激活状态变更为去激活状态时通知网络设备,如此,终端天线面板的网络设备在调度时可以避免调度到处于去激活状态的天线面板,从而提高数据传输效率。
图4示例性示出了本申请实施例提供的另一种天线面板状态的通知方法流程示意图。图4的步骤401和步骤402都可以发生在上述图3的步骤301之前,如图4所示,包括以下步骤:
步骤401,终端设备上报终端设备的能力参数,以及网络设备配置终端设备对应的参数。
步骤401可以发生在上述图3的步骤301之前。
在一种可能地实施方式中,网络设备和终端设备之间可以先建立连接,并进行交互。比如,终端设备可以将自身的能力参数上报给网络设备,能力参数比如可以包括终端设备的能力等级(UE Power class)。比如,终端设备的能力等级为1级,则该终端设备的类型为固定无线接入(Fixed wireless access,FWA)终端设备。再比如,终端设备的能力等级为2级,则该终端设备的类型为车载(Vehicular)终端设备。能力参数还可以包括终端设备支持天线面板的能力,比如终端设备支持单天线面板还是支持多天线面板。
网络设备所配置的终端设备对应的参数可以包括后续实施例所用到的终端设备的输出功率变化量阈值。
步骤402,终端设备通过第一天线面板与网络设备进行通信。
具体来说,终端设备可以使用第一天线面板与网络设备之间进行数据传输,比如通过第一天线面板发送上行物理信道与信号。
一种可选地实施方式中,上述步骤301中的通知消息可以是剩余功率报文(power headroom report,PHR)。这种情况下,上述步骤301的动作可以用下述步骤403来替代。
步骤403,终端设备的第一天线面板从激活状态变更为去激活状态,向网络设备发送第一剩余功率报文。第一剩余功率报文中的输出功率为第一天线面板对应的第一预设值,和/或;第一剩余功率报文中的剩余功率为第一天线面板对应的第二预设值。
本申请实施例中的“第一剩余功率报文”和“第二剩余功率报文”中的“第一”和“第而”仅仅是为了区分,不具有限定意义。
在现有R15协议中规定,为了更好的服务终端设备的上行传输,允许终端设备上报PHR MAC CE。在R15中规定的剩余功率报文的上报条件“A Power Headroom Report(PHR)shall be triggered if any of the following events occur:
phr-ProhibitTimer expires or has expired and the path loss has changed more than phr-Tx-PowerFactorChange dB for at least one activated Serving Cell of any MAC entity which is used as a pathloss reference since the last transmission of a PHR in this MAC entity when the MAC entity has UL resources for new transmission”。
该上报条件的对应中文为:“当计时器phr-ProhibitTimer到期或者路损变化超过phr-Tx-PowerFactorChange dB时,触发PHR报文。其中,路损变化的限制条件一:任意MAC实体的至少一个激活的服务小区,上一次发送PHR的路损参考;路损变化的限制条件二:这个MAC实体有可用的上行资源。”。
在本申请实施例图4所提供的实施例中,为剩余功率报文提供了一种触发条件,即:“天线面板从激活状态变更为去激活状态,触发剩余功率报文”。也就是说,本申请实施例中可以利用现有技术中已有的剩余功率报文的方式来实现终端设备的天线面板状态的同步。另一方面,通过将第一剩余功率报文中的输出功率为第一天线面板对应的第一预设值,和/或将第一剩余功率报文中的剩余功率为第一天线面板对应的第二预设值的方式,可以使网络设备根据该剩余功率报文确定第一天线面板的状态从激活状态变更为了去激活状态。
进一步,可选地,也可以在天线面板从去激活状态变更为激活状态时也触发剩余功率报文,这种情况下,也可以描述为:终端设备的天线面板状态变更,则触发剩余功率报文。
终端设备通过上报剩余功率报文可以通知网络设备关于终端设备的输出功率和终端设备的剩余功率。本申请实施例中,终端设备的输出功率可以表示终端设备的上行传输能力,剩余功率可以表示在进行了当前的上行传输之后(例如,在发送物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared CHannel,PUSCH)、物理上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control CHannel,PUCCH)或探测参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal,SRS)之后,还剩多少剩余功率。网络设备可以根据收到的剩余功率报文来进行调度,比如,若终端设备的剩余功率较多,则网络设备在接下来的调度中可以调度更多的数据传输,若剩余功率少,则网络设备在接下来的调度中应该相应的减少调度的数据传输。
本申请实施例中,终端设备可以有一个天线面板,也可以有如图1所示的多个天线面板,每个天线面板都有该天线面板的输出功率和该天线面板的剩余功率两个参数。终端设备的输出功率可以根据该终端设备上的天线面板的输出功率来确定,终端设备的剩余功率可以根据该终端设备上的天线面板的剩余功率来确定。
一种可能地实施方式中,考虑到终端设备的天线面板的能力可能不同,终端设备的输出功率可以为该终端设备上的处于激活状态下的所有天线面板的输出功率中的最大值。在一种可能地实施方式中,终端设备的剩余功率可根据实际情况进行上报,比如,可以用终端设备的输出功率减去终端设备当前进行数据传输所使用的功率,所得到的差值作为剩余功率。
在一种可选地用于实现上述步骤403的方案中,当终端设备的第一天线面板输出功率的变化量的绝对值大于或等于输出功率变化量阈值:则向网络设备发送通知消息。也可以描述为:终端设备的第一天线面板输出功率的变化量的绝对值大于或等于输出功率变化量阈值,则触发通知消息的上报。输出功率变化量阈值可以是预先设置的,也可以是网络设备下发的,也可以是基站和网络设备通过一些信令进行协商的,比如可在上述步骤401中由网络设备为终端设备配置该输出功率变化量阈值。
在另一种可选地用于实现上述步骤403的方案中,当终端设备的第一天线面板剩余功率的变化量的绝对值大于或等于剩余功率变化量阈值:则向网络设备发送通知消息。也可以描述为:终端设备的第一天线面板剩余功率的变化量的绝对值大于或等于输出功率变化量阈值,则触发通知消息的上报。剩余功率变化量阈值可以是预先设置的,也可以是网络设备下发的,也可以是基站和网络设备通过一些信令进行协商的,比如可在上述步骤401中由网络设备为终端设备配置该剩余功率变化量阈值。
在另一种可选地用于实现上述步骤403的方案中,当终端设备的输出功率的变化量的绝对值大于或等于输出功率变化量阈值:则向网络设备发送通知消息。也可以描述为:终 端设备的输出功率的变化量的绝对值大于或等于输出功率变化量阈值,则触发通知消息的上报。
在另一种可选地用于实现上述步骤403的方案中,当终端设备的剩余功率的变化量的绝对值大于或等于剩余功率变化量阈值:则向网络设备发送通知消息。也可以描述为:终端设备的剩余功率的变化量的绝对值大于或等于输出功率变化量阈值,则触发通知消息的上报。
本申请实施例中,通知消息可以是剩余功率报文。在一种可选地实施方式中,通知消息为剩余功率报文时,本申请实施例中也可以描述为:为剩余功率报文设置了上报条件,剩余功率报文的上报条件比如可以是:终端设备的第一天线面板输出功率的变化量的绝对值大于或等于输出功率变化量阈值;也可以是终端设备的第一天线面板剩余功率的变化量的绝对值大于或等于剩余功率变化量阈值;或者也可以是终端设备的输出功率的变化量的绝对值大于或等于输出功率变化量阈值;或者也可以是终端设备的剩余功率的变化量的绝对值大于或等于剩余功率变化量阈值。
可选地,当第一天线面板处于激活状态,从激活状态变更为去激活状态,也就是说终端设备从通过第一天线面板进行数据传输变更为停止使用第一天线面板进行数据传输,则第一天线面板的输出功率和剩余功率均会归零。这种情况下,第一天线面板的输出功率的变化量为第一天线面板处于激活状态下的输出功率与零的差值,可以看出第一天线面板的输出功率变化量较大,会大于预先设定的输出功率变化量阈值,这种情况下,终端设备的第一天线面板的输出功率从非零的值变化为0,且输出功率变化量大于输出功率变化量阈值,则触发剩余功率报文的上报。在实际应用中,由于第一天线面板处于激活状态下的输出功率可能是负数,因此第一天线面板的输出功率的变化量可能是负数,这种情况下可以对输出功率变化量取绝对值,进而对输出功率变化量的绝对值和输出功率变化量阈值进行比较。
图5示例性示出了一种剩余功率报文的结构示意图,如图5所示,现有协议中的剩余功率报文中包括有用于承载终端设备的剩余功率的字段501、用于承载终端设备的输出功率的字段502,以及一些预留比特503。
剩余功率报文为占用2字节(16比特)的信令,预留比特503可以设为0。用于承载终端设备的剩余功率的字段501占用6比特,可以用PH表示,用于承载终端设备的剩余功率的字段501可以包括两个参数,分别写为类型参数和小区参数。其中,类型参数是指的剩余功率报文的类型,原协议中定义了三类剩余功率报文上报类型,本申请实施例中并不涉及具体的哪一类,即哪一类都可以。类型参数具体来说可以由三个值来选择,分别为Type 1、Type 2和Type 3。Type 1在协议中具体是指输出功率和上行数据信道传输的功率之差。Type 2在协议中是指输出功率和上行控制信道传输的功率之差。Type 3在协议中是指额定功率和上行探测信号传输的功率之差。小区参数具体可以写Pcell,Pcell是指主小区,本申请实施例中小区参数可以是其它值,并不一定要是主小区。
终端设备的输出功率也可以称为最大输出功率,英文为“nominal maximum power”,有些情况下也可以称为额定最大功率,或者直接叫额定功率,英文也可以为“nominal power。终端设备的输出功率字段可以占用一个或多个比如,比如占用6比特,可以表示为P
CMAX,f,
c。其中,其中f是指载频(carrier),c是指服务小区(serving cell)。需要注意的是,本申请实施例中涉及到的具体数字仅仅是示例,不具有限定意义。
图5中所示的用于承载终端设备的剩余功率的字段501的6比特的意义可以由表1和表2来确定。表1和表2分别示例性示出了图5中的用于承载终端设备的剩余功率的字段501承载的数字的表示意义。以表1和表2的前两行数值为例进行示例性介绍,如表1所示,当用于承载终端设备的剩余功率的字段501的值为0,则表示终端设备的剩余功率等级为“POWER_HEADROOM_0”,从表2中可以看出,当终端设备的剩余功率等级为“POWER_HEADROOM_0”,则表示终端设备的剩余功率小于-32分贝(dB)。再比如:如表1所示,当用于承载终端设备的剩余功率的字段501的值为1,则表示终端设备的剩余功率等级为“POWER_HEADROOM_1”,从表2中可以看出,当终端设备的剩余功率等级为“POWER_HEADROOM_1”,则表示终端设备的剩余功率不小于-32dB,且小于-31dB。
表1 剩余功率报文中终端设备的剩余功率等级
表2 剩余功率报文信息(Power headroom report mapping)
图5中所示的用于承载终端设备的输出功率的字段502的6比特的意义可以由表3和表4来确定。表3和表4分别示例性示出了图5中的用于承载终端设备的输出功率的字段502承载的数字的表示意义。以表3和表4的前两行数值为例进行示例性介绍,如表3所示,当用于承载终端设备的输出功率的字段502的值为0,则表示终端设备的输出功率等级为“PCMAX_C_00”,从表4中可以看出,当终端设备的输出功率等级为“PCMAX_C_00”,则表示终端设备的输出功率小于-29分贝毫瓦(dBm)。再比如:如表3所示,当用于承载终端设备的输出功率的字段502的值为1,则表示终端设备的输出功率等级为“PCMAX_C_01”,从表4中可以看出,当终端设备的输出功率等级为“PCMAX_C_01”,则表示终端设备的输出功率不小于-29dBm,且小于-28dBm。
表3 剩余功率报文中终端设备的输出功率等级(Nominal UE transmit power level for PHR)
表4 剩余功率报文中终端设备的输出功率信息(Mapping of P
CMAX,f,c)
上述步骤403中,可以为每个天线面板单独设置该天线面板对应的第一预设值,任两个天线面板所对应的第一预设值可以不同,也可以相同。也可以为每个天线面板单独设置该天线面板对应的第二预设值,任两个天线面板所对应的第二预设值可以不同,也可以相同。
一种可能地实施方式中,可以把第一预设值设置为000000,第二预设值设置为000000。之所以将000000设置为第一预设值和第二预设值,是因为从表1和包2可以看出,当剩余功率取值000000,表示剩余功率小于-32dB,当输出功率取值000000,表示剩余功率小于-29dBm,这两种情况在实际应用中基本上不可能出现,因此若终端设备上报的剩余功率报文中的输出功率和剩余功率中的至少一个值为000000,则网络设备可以确定当前进行数据传输的天线面板已经由激活状态变更为去激活状态。
本申请实施例中的每个天线面板对应的第一预设值可以有多个值,每个天线面板对应的第二预设值也可以有多个值。这种情况下,通过将输出功率设置为第一天线面板对应的第一预设值和/或将剩余功率设置为第一天线面板对应的第二预设值,一方面可以指示出第一天线面板从激活状态变更为去激活状态,另一方面也可以指示出此次第一天线面板从激活状态变更为去激活状态的原因。比如,将剩余功率取值为000000,将输出功率取值为111111。这种示例中,剩余功率和输出功率的取值也可以表示:终端设备虽然具有输出功率,但是剩余功率为零,网络设备可以确定当前进行数据传输的天线面板被停止使用,处于去激活状态。该示例中的取值有可能是发生了超最大容许发射量(Maximum Permissible Exposure,MPE)事件所导致的。该超MPE事件是指终端设备通过测量或计算等估计自身发射的无线信号对人体辐射等超过法规限定的最大容许曝露量,这种情况下终端设备可能需要主动降低自身发射功率,降低发送的时间占比,或者切换到另一个发送天线面板或波束,使其不再对准人体方向。在该示例中,当终端设备发送的第一剩余功率报文中剩余功率取值为000000,将输出功率取值为111111,网络设备确定第一天线面板从激活状态变更为去激活状态,且也确定出此次第一天线面板从激活状态变更为去激活状态的原因是因为MPE事件。
在上述步骤403中,第一剩余功率报文还可以包括第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示第一天线面板状态变更原因。一种可选地实施方式中,第一天线面板状态变更原因在上一段的例子中可以用将输出功率设置为第一天线面板对应的第一预设值,将剩余功率设置为第一天线面板对应的第二预设值来指示,这种情况下,可以说第一指示信息是上述的输出功率字段承载的第一预设值以及剩余功率字段承载的第二预设值。
另一种可选地实施方式中,可以通过剩余功率报文中的预留比特来承载第一指示信息。比如可以用图5中的一个或多个预留比特503来承载第一指示信息。可以预设第一剩余功率报文的预设比特位的预设值与第一天线面板状态变更原因的对应关系,网络设备根据预设的第一剩余功率报文的预设比特位的预设值与第一天线面板状态变更原因的对应关系,以及第一剩余功率报文的预设比特位设置的值,确定第一天线面板状态变更原因。
举个例子,第一剩余功率报文的第1个预留比特位为1时,所对应的第一天线面板状态变更原因为:终端设备停止使用第一天线面板;第一剩余功率报文的第2个预留比特位为1时,所对应的第一天线面板状态变更原因为:终端设备遇到了超MPE问题;第一剩余功率报文的第3个预留比特位为1时,所对应的第一天线面板状态变更原因为:终端设备启用了其它天线面板用于进行数据传输。
在上述步骤403中,第一剩余功率报文还可以包括第二指示信息,第二指示信息用于指示第二天线面板的标识,以及第二天线面板的状态;第二天线面板包括终端设备中除第一天线面板之外的一个或多个天线面板。也就是说,当终端设备有多个天线面板时,第一天线面板从激活状态变更为去激活状态所触发的剩余功率报文中,除了可以指示出第一天 线面板变更为去激活状态之外,还可以指示出其他天线面板的状态。比如,可以利用剩余功率报文中的预留比特来承载第二指示信息,比如可以用二进制数的方式或者比特图的方式通知终端设备的几个天线面板的状态。举个例子,预设剩余功率报文的预留比特位于天线面板的对应关系,当一个预设比特位为1时,则表示该预留比特位对应的天线面板处于去激活状态,当该预设比特位为0时,则表示该预留比特位对应的天线面板处于激活状态。
另一种可选地实施方式中,可以预设第一预设值和第二预设值得组合与天线面板的标识、天线面板的状态的对应关系,网络设备根据接收到的第一预设值和第二预设值,以及第一预设值和第二预设值得组合与天线面板的标识、天线面板的状态的对应关系,来确定该剩余报文所指示的各个天线面板的标识和状态。也就是说,通过将输出功率设置为第一天线面板对应的第一预设值,和/或将剩余功率设置为第一天线面板对应的第二预设值的方式,既指示第一天线面板当前从激活状态变更为去激活状态,也可以指示出第二天线面板的标识和状态。举个例子,比如当将输出功率设置为000000,将剩余功率设置为000000,可以表示天线面板#1不再用于进行数据传输(处于去激活状态),若第一天线面板为天线面板#1,网络设备接收到该剩余功率报文,可以确定出当前用于传输的第一天线面板不再用于进行数据传输。再比如,将输出功率设置为000001,将剩余功率设置为000001,可以表示天线面板#2不再用于进行数据传输(处于去激活状态),若第一天线面板为天线面板#1,网络设备接收到该剩余功率报文,可以确定出当前用于传输的第一天线面板不再用于进行数据传输,也可以确定出天线面板#2不再用于进行数据传输。
在上述步骤403之后,以及在上述图3的步骤302之后,均可以执行步骤404。
步骤404,终端设备的第三天线面板从去激活状态切换为激活状态,向网络设备发送第二剩余功率报文。
相对应地,网络设备接收终端设备发送的第二剩余功率报文;其中,第二剩余功率报文是终端设备的第三天线面板从去激活状态切换为激活状态的情况下发送的;网络设备根据第二剩余功率报文,确定第三天线面板从去激活状态切换为激活状态。
也就是说,在步骤404所提供的实施例中,设置了一个新的剩余功率报文触发条件,即天线面板从去激活状态切换为激活状态。如此,可以利用现有的剩余功率报文实现终端设备的天线面板状态同步的目的。
上述步骤404,也可以描述为:当终端设备的第三天线面板输出功率的变化量的绝对值大于或等于输出功率变化量阈值:则向网络设备发送通知消息。也可以描述为:终端设备的第三天线面板输出功率的变化量的绝对值大于或等于输出功率变化量阈值,则触发通知消息的上报。
通知消息为剩余功率报文时,也可以描述为终端设备的第三天线面板输出功率的变化量的绝对值大于或等于输出功率变化量阈值,则触发第二剩余功率报文的上报。也就是说为剩余功率报文的上报设置了一种条件,即:终端设备的第二天线面板输出功率的变化量的绝对值大于或等于输出功率变化量阈值。
上述步骤404中,一种可选地实施方式中,第三天线面板处于去激活状态时,第三天线面板的输出功率和剩余功率可以归零。当第三面板处于激活状态,则第三面板的输出功率通常为非零的值。这种情况下,第三天线面板的输出功率的变化量为第三天线面板处于激活状态下的输出功率与零的差值,可以看出第三天线面板的输出功率变化量较大,会大于预先设定的输出功率变化量阈值,这种情况下,终端设备监测到第三天线面板的输出功 率从0变化为非零的值,且输出功率变化量的绝对值大于输出功率变化量阈值,则触发第二剩余功率报文的上报。在实际应用中,由于第三天线面板处于激活状态下的输出功率可能是负数,因此第三天线面板的输出功率的变化量可能是负数,这种情况下可以对输出功率变化量取绝对值,进而对输出功率变化量的绝对值和输出功率变化量阈值进行比较。输出功率变化量阈值可以是预先设置的,也可以是网络设备下发的,也可以是基站和网络设备通过一些信令进行协商的,比如可在上述步骤401中由网络设备为终端设备配置该输出功率变化量阈值。
在上述步骤404中,当终端设备当前仅通过第三天线面板进行数据传输时,第二剩余功率报文中的终端设备的输出功率字段为第三天线面板的输出功率,第二剩余功率报文中的终端设备的剩余功率字段为第三天线面板的剩余功率。
在上述步骤404中,第二剩余功率报文还可以包括上述第二指示信息,第二指示信息用于指示第二天线面板的标识,以及第二天线面板的状态;第二天线面板包括终端设备中除第一天线面板之外的一个或多个天线面板。也就是说,当终端设备有多个天线面板时,第三天线面板从去激活状态变更为激活状态所触发的第二剩余功率报文中,除了可以指示出第三天线面板变更为激活状态之外,还可以指示出其他天线面板的状态。比如,可以利用剩余功率报文中的预留比特来承载第二指示信息,比如可以用二进制数的方式或者比特图的方式通知终端设备的几个天线面板的状态。举个例子,预设剩余功率报文的预留比特位于天线面板的对应关系,当一个预设比特位为1时,则表示该预留比特位对应的天线面板处于去激活状态,当该预设比特位为0时,则表示该预留比特位对应的天线面板处于激活状态。
在上述步骤404之后,可以执行步骤405。
步骤405,网络设备根据终端设备的天线面板的状态,对终端设备上处于激活状态的天线面板进行调度。
通过上述内容可以看出,本申请实施例中终端设备通过上述步骤401至步骤405完成了天线面板的切换进程,即终端设备从第一天线面板切换至第三天线面板,且该天线面板切换进程中,终端设备的天线面板状态被同步给网络设备,以使网络设备根据天线面板状态对天线面板进行调度,在调度过程中,网络设备可以避免调度去激活状态的天线面板,从而可以提高网络设备传输数据的成功率。且图4所示的实施例通过利用现有技术中的剩余功率报文完成了天线面板的切换,以及天线面板的状态同步问题,这种解决方案兼容了现有技术,且改动较少。
针对上述图3中的步骤301,本申请实施例中可以提供另一种可能地实施方式,该实施方式中,上述步骤301中的通知消息可以不是上述图4中所复用的剩余功率报文,可以是一条新定义的信令。该通知消息可以在终端设备的天线面板的状态由激活状态变更为去激活状态时触发,网络设备一旦接收到该通知消息,即确定当前正在使用的天线面板不再用于传输。
该实施例中,通知消息可以尽量占用较少字节,比如可以是仅占用1比特的信令,如此,可以尽量使用较少信息以通知网络设备第一天线面板的状态由激活变更为了去激活。在该实施例中,也可以在步骤301之前执行步骤401和步骤402。在该实施例中,也可以执行上述步骤404和步骤405。
在一种可选地实施方式中,进一步,终端设备向网络设备发送通知消息之后,当网络 设备接收到该通知消息之后,可以根据该通知消息调度上行资源给终端设备,以触发终端设备进行剩余功率报文的发送。这种情况下,也可以说剩余功率报文的上报条件为:终端设备向网络设备发送通知消息,且收到网络设备为终端设备调度的上行资源的指示信息。
在另一种可选地实施方式中,进一步,终端设备向网络设备发送通知消息之后,可以自动触发剩余功率上报。这种情况下,也可以说剩余功率报文的上报条件为:终端设备向网络设备发送通知消息。
进一步,在一种可能地实施方式中,该通知消息中还可以包括第一天线面板的标识,以使网络设备在接收到该通知消息之后可以根据该通知消息确定第一天线面板的状态由去激活状态变更为激活状态。
进一步,在一种可能地实施方式中,该通知消息中还可以包括第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示第一天线面板状态变更原因。
进一步,在一种可能地实施方式中,该通知消息中还可以包括第二指示信息,第二指示信息用于指示第二天线面板的标识,以及第二天线面板的状态;第二天线面板包括终端设备中除第一天线面板之外的一个或多个天线面板。也就是说,当终端设备有多个天线面板时,第一天线面板从激活状态变更为去激活状态所触发的通知消息中,除了可以指示出第一天线面板变更为去激活状态之外,还可以指示出其他天线面板的状态。
通过上述内容可以看出,本申请实施例中终端设备在上述步骤301中,可以将通知消息设置为一新定义的信令,且在该实施例中,当终端设备的天线面板从去激活状态切换为激活状态时,也可以执行上述步骤404,可见,该实施例中通过新定义的信令和剩余功率报文实现了天线面板的切换,且该天线面板切换进程中,终端设备的天线面板状态被同步给网络设备,以使网络设备根据天线面板状态对天线面板进行调度,在调度过程中,网络设备可以避免调度去激活状态的天线面板,从而可以提高网络设备传输数据的成功率。且该实施例中由于可以将通知消息设置为一新定义的信令,因此可以通过缩减通知消息所占比特的方式降低数据传输量,从而节省上行数据资源。
本申请实施例中上述图1示例性示出了一种终端设备可能的结构示意图,如图1所示,终端设备配置有多个天线面板。本申请实施例中也可以支持终端设备和网络设备之间通过多个天线面板进行数据传输。本申请实施例中的通知消息中可以承载多个天线面板中每个天线面板的状态。进一步,可选地,通知消息中还可以承载终端设备的剩余功率和终端设备的输出功率。
该通知消息可以是新定义的信令,也可以复用上述剩余功率报文,具体来说,可选地,第一剩余功率报文还包括:第四天线面板的剩余功率和输出功率;第四天线面板包括终端设备中的一个或多个天线面板;终端设备的剩余功率和终端设备的输出功率。这种情况下,第一剩余功率报文和第二剩余功率报文相比于现有技术中的剩余功率报文可以多一些扩展字段。
第一剩余功率报文和第二剩余功率报文也可以称为扩展剩余功率报文。第一剩余功率报文中所承载的多个天线面板中每个天线面板的剩余功率和输出功率可以承载在第一剩余功率报文的扩展字段。图6示例性示出了本申请实施例中一种扩展剩余功率报文的结构示意图。图6所示的扩展剩余功率报文的结构示意图可以是第一剩余功率报文的结构示意图,也可以是第二剩余功率报文的结构示意图。如图6所示,扩展剩余功率报文中可以包括:用于承载终端设备的剩余功率的字段601、用于承载终端设备的输出功率的字段602、 用于承载终端设备的天线面板#1的剩余功率的字段603、用于承载终端设备的天线面板#1的输出功率的字段604、用于承载终端设备的天线面板#2的剩余功率的字段605、用于承载终端设备的天线面板#2的输出功率的字段606以及一些预留比特607。图6中仅仅是以终端设备的天线面板#1和天线面板#2为例进行介绍的,如果还需要承载其它一个或多个天线面板的输出功率和剩余功率,则还可以对第一剩余功率报文和第二剩余功率报文进行扩展。
一种可能地实施方式中,终端设备的输出功率可以为该终端设备上的处于激活状态下的所有天线面板的输出功率中的最大值。举个例子,比如终端设备上当前处于激活状态的天线面板为天线面板#1和天线面板#2。终端设备单独使用天线面板#1进行数据传输时,天线面板#1的输出功率为23dBm,终端设备单独使用天线面板#2进行数据传输时,天线面板#2的输出功率为20dBm,终端设备同时使用天线面板#1和天线面板#2进行数据传输时,终端设备的输出功率为终端设备单独使用天线面板#1进行数据传输时天线面板#1的输出功率,以及终端设备单独使用天线面板#2进行数据传输时天线面板#2的输出功率中的较大值,终端设备的输出功率为23dBm。当终端设备在同一个时间使用多个天线面板与网络设备进行数据传输时,每个天线面板可以均分终端设备的输出功率,即在终端设备的输出功率为23dBm的情况下,同时使用该天线面板#1和天线面板#2进行上行数据发送时,每个天线面板的输出功率为20dBm。该示例的中的各项参数可如下述表5所示。
表5 终端设备的输出功率的示意
在一种可能地实施方式中,终端设备的剩余功率可根据实际情况进行上报,比如,可根据当前进行数据传输的各个天线面板的剩余功率确定终端设备的剩余功率,若单独使用一个天线面板进行数据传输,则终端设备的剩余功率即为该天线面板的剩余功率,若同时使用两个天线面板进行数据传输,则终端设备的剩余功率即为该两个天线面板的剩余功率之和。
进一步,可选地,可以使用图6所示的扩展剩余功率的结构中单独的天线面板的剩余功率字段和/或输出功率字段来指示单个天线面板的状态。举个例子,如图6所示,当天线面板#1处于去激活状态,则可以将用于承载终端设备的天线面板#1的剩余功率的字段603和用于承载终端设备的天线面板#1的输出功率的字段604中的至少一个字段的值设置为预设值。也就是说,一种可能地实施方式中,当第四天线面板处于去激活状态:第一剩余报 文中承载的第四天线面板的剩余功率为第三预设值,和/或,第四天线面板的输出功率为第四预设值。相对应地,当第一剩余报文中承载的第四天线面板的剩余功率为第三预设值,第四天线面板的输出功率为第四预设值:网络设备确定第四天线面板处于去激活状态。一种可选地实施方式中,将第三预设值和第四预设值都设置为0。
图7示例性示出了本申请实施例提供的一种天线面板状态的通知方法的流程示意图,如图7所示,包括:
步骤701,终端设备上报终端设备的能力参数,以及网络设备配置终端设备对应的参数。
该步骤701与上述步骤401的步骤相同。
步骤702,当终端设备监测到任一个或任多个天线面板的状态发生变更时,触发第三剩余功率报文。
该步骤中,当终端设备监测到天线面板状态由激活变为去激活,第三剩余功率报文可以是上述内容中的第一剩余功率报文,当终端设备监测到天线面板状态由去激活变为激活,第三剩余功率报文可以是上述内容的第二剩余功率报文。第三剩余功率报文与之前的第一剩余功率报文、第二剩余功率报文中的“第三”、“第一”和“第二”仅仅是为了区分剩余功率报文,不具有限定意义。第一剩余功率报文、第二剩余功率报文和第三剩余功率报文的格式都可以是图6中的扩展剩余功率报文的格式。
在第三剩余功率报文中承载各个天线面板的输出功率和剩余功率,其中,当天线面板的状态处于去激活状态,则第三剩余功率报文中用于承载该天线面板的输出功率字段承载内容为第四预设值,和/或,用于承载该天线面板的剩余功率字段承载内容为第三预设值。
在该步骤702中,终端设备监测到任一个或任多个天线面板的状态发生变更,可以是监测到任一个或多个天线面板的状态从激活状态变更为去激活状态;也可以是监测到任一个或任多个天线面板的状态从去激活状态变更为激活状态;也可以是监测到任一个或多个天线面板的状态从激活状态变更为去激活状态,且任一个或任多个天线面板的状态从去激活状态变更为激活状态。
针对步骤702,结合上述表5的示例进行举例说明,图8、图9和图10分别示出了本申请实施例提供的一种第三剩余功率报文所承载内容的示意图。当终端设备的第三剩余功率报文结构如图6所示,当终端设备仅使用天线面板#1进行数据传输,则第三剩余功率报文各个字段所承载的数值如图8所示,用于承载终端设备的剩余功率的字段601承载的内容为2dB,用于承载终端设备的输出功率的字段602承载的内容为23dBm,用于承载终端设备的天线面板#1的剩余功率的字段603承载的内容为2dB,用于承载终端设备的天线面板#1的输出功率的字段604承载的内容为23dBm,用于承载终端设备的天线面板#2的剩余功率的字段605承载的内容为0dB,用于承载终端设备的天线面板#2的输出功率的字段606承载的内容为0dBm。
