具体实施方式
在下文中将结合附图对本发明的示范性实施例进行描述。为了清楚和简明起见，在说明书中并未描述实际实施方式的所有特征。然而，应该了解，在开发任何这种实际实施例的过程中必须做出很多特定于实施方式的决定，以便实现开发人员的具体目标，例如，符合与系统及业务相关的那些限制条件，并且这些限制条件可能会随着实施方式的不同而有所改变。此外，还应该了解，虽然开发工作有可能是非常复杂和费时的，但对得益于本公开内容的本领域技术人员来说，这种开发工作仅仅是例行的任务。
在此，还需要说明的一点是，为了避免因不必要的细节而模糊了本发明，在附图中仅仅示出了与根据本发明的方案密切相关的设备结构和/或处理步骤，而省略了与本发明关系不大的其他细节。
<第一实施例>
如前所述，NGWN的特征之一是异构网络的融合。未来的移动通信网络将包含多种RAT，不同的RAT提供不同的覆盖范围、吞吐量和服务质量等。在异构网络融合环境下的一个重要的问题是接入网络的选择，即，多连接终端如何在多种RAT并存的复杂环境中，通过选择最合适的无线承载，使用户能够始终保持接入最优的网络而获得最满意的服务。在本实施例中，提出了一种新的接入机制来解决该问题。下面，将通过对具体示例的描述来阐述该接入机制的上述以及其他优点。
图1示出了根据本申请的一个实施例的用于无线通信的电子设备100的功能模块框图，如图1所示，电子设备100包括：发送单元101，被配置为向至少一个网络节点发送探测消息，该探测消息包括用户设备(UE)的通信质量要求；接收单元102，被配置为从至少一个网络节点接收响应于该探测消息的反馈信息，该反馈信息指示相应的网络节点能够为UE提供的通信质量；以及确定单元103，被配置为基于反馈信息确定UE的无线资源接入方式。
其中，发送单元101、接收单元102和确定单元103可以由一个或多个处理电路实现，该处理电路例如可以实现为芯片。并且，应该理解，图1中所示的装置中的各个功能单元仅是根据其所实现的具体功能而划分的逻辑模块，而不是用于限制具体的实现方式。
电子设备100例如可以设置在UE侧或者可通信地连接到UE。这里，还应指出，电子设备100可以以芯片级来实现，或者也可以以设备级来实现。例如，电子设备100可以工作为UE本身，并且还可以包括诸如存储器、收发器(图中未示出)等外部设备。存储器可以用于存储UE实现各种功能需要执行的程序和相关数据信息。收发器可以包括一个或多个通信接口以支持与不同设备(例如，基站、其他用户设备等等)间的通信，这里不具体限制收发器的实现形式。
可以看出，在该实施例中，UE通过针对至少一个网络节点的探测过程来选择无线资源接入方式，可以做出恰当的决策，以提高网络性能。其中，无线资源接入方式例如包括选择要接入的网络节点或者选择要接入的无线传输资源。这里所述的网络节点可以包括但不限于基站、接入点等，其可以为能够为UE提供接入服务的各种实体。
UE的通信质量要求例如可以包括如下中的一个或多个：基于QoS参数的要求；针对特定业务特性的需求。QoS参数例如可以包括如下中的一个或多个：时延、时延抖动、数据传输速率、误码率等等。例如，QoS参数可以用QoS类型指示，QoS类型1表示延迟，QoS类型2表示延迟和数据速率，等等。
针对特定业务特性的需求例如可以包括对网络切片(Network Slice)的需求。此时，UE的通信质量要求体现为对所需要的网络切片类型的需求，比如urllc、eMBB等。例如，可以预先将服务类型以及要求标识为不同的网络切片生成网络切片列表，比如高容量、大带宽、安全、连接密度、优先级等，探测消息中可以包括所需要的网络切片标识。
此外，探测消息还可以包括如下中的一个或多个：用户类型，探测对象。其中，用户类型可以用来指示UE是群组用户还是单用户，UE是群组用户的情形将在后面具体描述。探测对象例如可以包括如下之一：网络节点标识、无线传输资源标识。网络节点标识例如为小区ID，在探测对象包括小区ID的情况下，表示UE要探测的是相应的小区能够提供的通信质量。无线传输资源标识例如包括时频资源ID、频率资源ID或者波束ID，在探测对象包括无线传输资源标识的情况下，表示UE要探测的是相应资源能够提供的通信质量。
在接收到来自UE的探测消息之后，网络节点例如可以通过大数据分析来获得反馈信息，该反馈信息指示相应的网络节点能够为UE提供的通信质量。在如上所述探测对象包括无线传输资源标识的情况下，该反馈信息指示相应的网络节点在相应的资源上能够为UE提供的通信质量。
具体地，网络节点可以根据历史数据、负载情况和其他信息，例如通过强化学习算法来估计QoS满意度和/或可提供的网络切片能力。QoS满意度(也称为QoS能力)可以用QoS满意度级别表示，例如，在采用时延作为QoS参数的情况下，00级别可以指示时延小于1ms，01级别可以指示时延在1ms与5ms之间，以此类推。网络切片能力可以由前述预先定义的网络切片列表中的标识来表示。
此外，当UE向多个网络节点发送探测消息时，例如可以通过隐式方式比如传输的频率等来区分反馈信息来自哪个网络节点。
在一个示例中，多个网络节点分别采用不同的RAT，确定单元103确定反馈信息指示能够为UE提供最优通信质量的网络节点作为UE要接入的网络节点。换言之，UE将采用提供最优通信质量的RAT。多个网络节点可以包括地面网络节点和非地面网络节点，多个网络节点例如可以包括如下中的两个或多个：eNB，gNB，分布式单元(Distributed Unit，DU)，IAB节点，中继节点，接入点等。
在该示例中，发送单元101和接收单元102可以在随机接入过程中发送探测消息和接收反馈信息。例如，在四步随机接入过程，发送单元101在Msg3中发送探测消息，接收单元102在Msg4中接收反馈信息；在二步随机接入过程，发送单元101在Msg1中发送探测消息，接收单元102在Msg2中接收反馈信息。
下面将通过一个具体场景来描述该示例中电子设备100的操作。假设UE被TN-gNB和NTN-gNB所覆盖。UE(通过电子设备100)在随机接入过程中对TN-gNB和NTN-gNB进行探测，如图2所示。针对TN-gNB，UE执行四步随机接入过程，其中，将例如包括指示延迟类型1的QoS要求和指示urllc网络切片标识需求的探测消息包括在Msg3中并发送至TN-gNB，TN-gNB在Msg4中反馈其探测结果，例如类型1QoS 6ms、网络切片标识为1(1表示针对urllc的网络切片)。类似地，UE通过随机接入过程针对NTN-gNB进行探测，反馈信息例如为类型1QoS 10ms、网络切片标识为1。这是因为，在NTN中，卫星和UE之间的长距离导致长的传输延迟，并且卫星的大覆盖范围导致它需要服务大量的UE。结合传输时延和调度延迟等因素，UE的传输时延较长，特别是在GEO(Geosychronons Earth Orbit)组网场景中。此外，由于物理传输距离的限制，数据包的延迟无法缩短。UE基于所接收的反馈信息为当前业务选择恰当的网络，例如TN-gNB。
此外，针对TN-gNB的探测过程还可以在如图3所示的2步随机接入过程中执行，其中在Msg1即ePRACH中添加探测消息并且在Msg2中添加反馈信息。其他过程与图2类似，在此不再重复。
在另一个示例中，UE已经接入当前提供服务的网络节点(下文中也称为服务网络节点)，发送单元101被配置为经由物理上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel，PUCCH)或物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel，PUSCH)发送探测消息，接收单元 102被配置为经由物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel，PDSCH)或物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel，PDCCH)接收反馈信息。
在该示例中，假设UE已经与某一个网络节点比如基站建立了正常通信，但是，经过一段时间后，情况发生了变化，可能需要重新连接或切换。例如，发送单元101的发送和接收单元102的接收可以基于事件触发来进行。事件触发例如包括以下中的一个或多个：业务改变，当前的无线传输资源无法满足UE的业务需求。
例如，当发生业务改变时，UE可以先基于自己的测量判断新的业务的需求是否被满足，如果不被满足，则认为上述事件触发条件成立。或者，只要发生业务改变，即认为上述事件触发条件成立。发送单元101在PUSCH或PUCCH上向服务gNB发送探测消息，该探测消息中包括新业务的通信质量需求，其中，探测对象和用户类型可以省略或者设置为缺省值。服务gNB随后在PDCCH或PDSCH上发送反馈信息。如果UE基于该反馈信息确定服务gNB不能满足其新的业务需求，则向其他网络节点发起随机接入过程以尝试接入，其中，该随机接入过程例如可以包括参照图2或图3所述的探测过程。为了便于理解，图4示出了UE与gNB之间的信息流程的一个示例。其中，UE当前接入gNB1，在来自gNB1的反馈信息指示gNB1不能满足新业务的需求的情况下，UE尝试随机接入并切换到gNB2。
此外，在发生无线传输资源切换时，UE也可以发起探测过程。例如，除了通信质量要求之外，探测消息中还可以包括探测对象，探测对象例如为无线传输资源标识，探测消息中也可以包括用户类型，这都不是限制性的。图5示出了UE与gNB之间的信息流程的另一个示例。其中，UE确定当前的无线传输资源无法满足其业务需求，从而在PUSCH或PUCCH上向当前提供服务的gNB发送包括探测对象的探测消息，然后基于来自gNB的反馈信息选择探测对象之一作为要切换到的无线传输资源。接下来，UE在PUSCH或PUCCH上向gNB通知其所选择的无线传输资源的标识，最终由gNB来决定是否采用UE的选择结果。作为示例，探测消息可以包括在缓存状态报告(Buffer Status Report，BSR)中。
在另一个示例中，UE具有双连接能力，发送单元101被配置为向主 小区组(Master Cell Group，MCG)发送探测消息，该探测消息经由MCG发送到辅小区组(Secondary Cell Group，SCG)，接收单元102被配置为接收经由MCG转发的来自SCG的反馈信息，确定单元103基于该反馈信息确定是否要切换到SCG。
为了便于理解，图6示出了UE与MCG和SCG之间的信息流程的一个示例。其中，当前上行链路数据被发送到MCG，如果UE发现当前链路不满足QoS要求，则将执行MCG辅助的探测过程，以获得SCG的探测结果。MCG接收到用户发送的探测消息后，与SCG进行信息交互，包括MCG向SCG转发用户的探测消息并添加用户在SCG中的ID。探测消息作为新的信令消息在PUCCH或PUSCH上由MCG发送，该消息同样可以包括用户类型、探测对象、QoS需求、网络切片需求等。随后，反馈消息在PDSCH中由SCG向MCG发送。最后，MCG将反馈信息提供给用户，类似地，该反馈信息可根据历史数据和负载等信息利用诸如强化学习算法评估获得，可以包括QoS能力和/或网络切片能力等。如果SCG链路满足当前业务的QoS要求，则UE将向MCG发送切换请求，然后与SCG同步并切换到SCG，接着通过新链路发送数据。在图6的示例中，非限制性地，MCG可以为TN MCG，SCG可以为NTN SCG。
在又一个示例中，网络节点可以为中继节点，反馈信息可以包括多条中继路径的通信质量例如包括路径ID和每条路径的QoS能力和/或网络切片能力。在UE向中继节点发送探测消息的情况下，中继节点通过周期性地执行环路测试可以获得回程链路的探测结果。因此，中继路径的通信质量可以包括接入链路和回程链路合并后的整体探测结果，例如包括接入链路和一个或多个回程链路中的最小值。但是，由于无法预测的原因，回程链路可能无法全部探测，因此反馈信息还可以仅基于接入链路或者基于接入链路和部分回程链路。UE基于反馈信息选择适当的中继路径进行数据传输，并将选择的路径ID发送给中继节点。
此外，在另一个示例中，还可以基于用户群组进行网络接入技术的选择。图7示出了多用户场景下的无线接入的示例。在多用户场景下，多个用户可能具有相同或相似的业务需求，导致网络在相隔很短时间内便需要提供大量服务，增大了系统信令开销和网络负载。在该示例中，可以将具有相同或相似业务需求的用户分为一组，网络可以集中为同一 业务提供服务，以提升系统性能。
例如，当UE需要探测针对某种业务类型(代表了某种通信质量需求)，网络节点能够提供的通信质量时，UE可以发起分组过程。例如，发送单元101可以向周围的UE广播UE要发起的探测业务类型和地理位置，并且基于来自具有相同或相似的业务需求或探测需求的周围的UE的响应来进行分组。其中，执行广播的该UE为群主，做出响应的周围的UE为群成员，群主在接收到群成员的响应后，将响应中包含的信息保存下来，群成员的响应可以包括相应UE的探测业务类型和用户位置。示例性地，UE可以通过D2D通信来进行广播。
上述探测业务类型可以包括普通业务和特殊业务，特殊业务是指具有某种共性的业务，如大带宽业务(比如下载高清地图)或邻居基站探测，可预先识别该类业务并定义。
为了便于理解，图8示出了UE与相邻UE和gNB之间的信息流程的一个示例。其中，UE向相邻UE广播其探测业务类型比如下载高清地图和地理位置。相邻UE如果有相似需求则发出响应，UE基于这些响应自发组成针对下载高清地图业务进行探测的群组并作为群主。随后，UE向gNB发送探测消息，除了通信质量需求之外，探测消息还包括用户类型和群成员的位置信息，其中，用户类型指示为群主用户还是单用户。在该示例中，用户类型指示为群主用户。
反馈信息例如包括gNB的QoS能力、网络切片能力。此外，反馈信息还可以包括如下中的一个或多个：组的信息，探测对象的标识。例如，组的信息可以包括临时分配的组的ID，有效/无效的组成员等。如果是基于相似业务的探测，则反馈信息还包括探测对象的标识(ID)。群主UE接收到反馈信息后，将该反馈信息共享给有效的群成员。
通过上述基于群组的网络探测，可以有效地降低信令开销，节约资源。
综上所述，根据本实施例的电子设备100能够使UE在上行链路传输的最佳网络选择或最佳传输资源选择中具有更多的自主性，且UE作为选择的实体更易于部署和实现。此外，该电子设备100使得在保证QoS要求的情况下降低时延，减小信令开销。
注意，以上所述的各个信息流程图仅是示例，取决于网络节点的类 型的不同，信息流程将会相应地改变。
<第二实施例>
图9示出了根据本申请的另一个实施例的电子设备200的功能模块框图，如图9所示，电子设备200包括：接收单元201，被配置为接收UE的探测消息，该探测消息包括UE的通信质量要求；估计单元202，被配置为通过大数据分析估计网络节点能够为UE提供的通信质量；以及发送单元203，被配置为将所估计的通信质量包括在反馈信息中发送给UE。
其中，接收单元201、估计单元202和发送单元203可以由一个或多个处理电路实现，该处理电路例如可以实现为芯片。并且，应该理解，图9中所示的装置中的各个功能单元仅是根据其所实现的具体功能而划分的逻辑模块，而不是用于限制具体的实现方式。
电子设备200可以设置在网络节点侧或者可通信地连接网络节点。这里，还应指出，电子设备200可以以芯片级来实现，或者也可以以设备级来实现。例如，电子设备200可以工作为网络节点本身，并且还可以包括诸如存储器、收发器(未示出)等外部设备。存储器可以用于存储网络节点实现各种功能需要执行的程序和相关数据信息。收发器可以包括一个或多个通信接口以支持与不同设备(例如，用户设备、其他网络节点等等)间的通信，这里不具体限制收发器的实现形式。
如前所述，网络节点可以为地面网络节点或非地面网络节点，网络节点例如为如下之一：eNB，gNB，DU，IAB节点，中继节点，接入点。
其中，有关通信质量要求和探测消息的具体内容已经在第一实施例中详细给出，在此不再重复。
作为网络节点侧的操作，大数据分析例如包括至少基于历史数据和负载信息使用强化学习算法进行估计。所估计的结果例如为网络节点能够提供的QoS能力和/或网络切片能力等。
在一个示例中，UE在随机接入过程中进行网络节点的探测。有关该示例的具体描述已在第一实施例中参照图2和3给出，在此不再重复。
在另一个示例中，UE已接入网络节点，此时，探测消息中还可以包 括探测对象，探测对象例如为无线传输资源ID，估计单元202被配置为估计相应的无线传输资源的通信质量。有关该示例的具体描述已在第一实施例中参照图5给出，在此不再重复。
在另一个示例中，UE具有双连接能力并且当前在MCG链路上传输数据，如果网络节点为UE的MCG，则发送单元203将探测消息转发到UE的SCG并且将SCG的反馈信息转发给UE。换言之，MCG辅助UE实现对SCG的探测。如果网络节点为UE的SCG，则接收单元201所接收的探测消息来自UE的MCG，并且发送单元203将反馈信息发送给MCG。有关该示例的具体描述已在第一实施例中参照图6给出，在此不再重复。
在另一个示例中，网络节点为中继网络节点，通信质量可以包括多条中继路径的通信质量，其中，中继路径的通信质量可以包括接入链路和回程链路合并后的整体探测结果。有关该示例的具体描述已在第一实施例中给出，在此不再重复。
在另一个示例中，UE为群主用户，探测消息中还包括用户类型和群成员的位置信息，用户类型指示为群主用户，此时反馈信息中还包括如下中的一个或多个：组的信息，探测对象的标识。有关该示例的具体描述已在第一实施例中参照图7和8给出，在此不再重复。
综上所述，根据本实施例的电子设备200使得UE根据网络节点能够提供的通信质量来自主地、灵活地选择无线资源接入方式，从而能够更好地利用无线资源，提高网络性能和改善用户体验。
<第三实施例>
在上文的实施方式中描述用于无线通信的电子设备的过程中，显然还公开了一些处理或方法。下文中，在不重复上文中已经讨论的一些细节的情况下给出这些方法的概要，但是应当注意，虽然这些方法在描述用于无线通信的电子设备的过程中公开，但是这些方法不一定采用所描述的那些部件或不一定由那些部件执行。例如，用于无线通信的电子设备的实施方式可以部分地或完全地使用硬件和/或固件来实现，而下面讨论的用于无线通信的方法可以完全由计算机可执行的程序来实现，尽管这些方法也可以采用用于无线通信的电子设备的硬件和/或固件。
图10示出了根据本申请的一个实施例的用于无线通信的方法的流程图，该方法包括：向至少一个网络节点发送探测消息(S11)，该探测消息包括UE的通信质量要求；从至少一个网络节点接收响应于探测消息的反馈信息(S12)，该反馈信息指示相应的网络节点能够为UE提供的通信质量；以及基于反馈信息确定UE的无线资源接入方式(S13)。该方法例如可以在UE侧执行。
例如，通信质量要求可以包括如下中的一个或多个：基于QoS参数的要求，针对特定业务特性的需求。QoS参数例如包括如下中的一个或多个：时延、时延抖动、数据传输速率、误码率，其中，针对特定业务特性的需求例如包括对网络切片的需求。
此外，探测消息还可以包括如下中的一个或多个：用户类型，探测对象。探测对象可以包括如下之一：网络节点标识，无线传输资源标识。反馈信息可以由网络节点通过大数据分析获得。
在一个示例中，多个网络节点分别采用不同的RAT，在步骤S13中确定反馈信息指示能够为UE提供最优通信质量的网络节点作为UE要接入的网络节点。例如，多个网络节点可以包括地面网络节点和非地面网络节点，多个网络节点例如包括如下中的两个或多个：eNB，gNB，分布式单元DU，IAB节点，中继节点，接入点。
例如，可以在随机接入过程中发送探测消息和接收反馈信息。例如，在四步随机接入过程的Msg3中发送探测消息，以及在Msg4中接收反馈信息；在二步随机接入过程的Msg1中发送探测消息，以及在Msg2中接收反馈信息。
在另一个示例中，UE已接入当前提供服务的网络节点，可以经由PUCCH或PUSCH发送探测消息，并经由PDCCH或PDSCH接收反馈信息。其中，探测消息的发送和反馈信息的接收可以基于事件来触发。事件触发例如包括如下中的一个或多个：业务改变，当前的无线传输资源无法满足UE的业务需求。
例如，在反馈信息指示当前提供服务的网络节点不能满足UE的业务需求的情况下，UE尝试接入其他网络节点。探测消息中还可以包括探测对象，探测对象例如为无线传输资源标识，在步骤S13中基于反馈信息选择要切换到的无线传输资源。探测消息可以包含在BSR中。
在另一个示例中，UE具有双连接能力，在步骤S11中向MCG发送探测消息，该探测消息经由MCG转发至SCG，在步骤S12中接收经由MCG转发的来自SCG的反馈信息，并且在步骤S13中基于反馈信息确定是否要切换至SCG。
在另一个示例中，网络节点为中继节点，反馈信息包括多条中继路径的通信质量。例如，中继路径的通信质量可以包括接入链路和回程链路合并后的整体探测结果。
在另一个示例中，上述方法还包括向周围的UE广播该UE要发起的探测业务类型和地理位置，并且基于来自具有相同或相似的业务需求或探测需求的周围的UE的响应进行分组，其中，执行广播的该UE作为群主，做出响应的周围的UE作为群成员，该方法还包括在组内共享反馈信息。
在这种情况下，探测消息还包括用户类型和群成员的位置信息，用户类型指示为群主用户还是单用户。反馈信息例如还包括如下中的一个或多个：组的信息，探测对象的标识。
图11示出了根据本申请的另一个实施例的用于无线通信的方法的流程图，该方法包括：接收UE的探测消息(S21)，该探测消息包括UE的通信质量要求；通过大数据分析估计网络节点能够为UE提供的通信质量(S22)；以及将所估计的通信质量包括在反馈信息中发送给UE(S23)。该方法例如可以在网络节点侧执行。
例如，大数据分析包括至少基于历史数据和负载信息使用强化学习算法进行估计。
上述方法分别对应于第一实施例中所描述的电子设备100和第二实施例中所描述的电子200，其具体细节可参见以上相应位置的描述，在此不再重复。注意，上述各个方法可以结合或单独使用。
本公开内容的技术能够应用于各种产品。
例如，电子设备200可以被实现为各种基站。基站可以被实现为任何类型的演进型节点B(eNB)或gNB(5G基站)。eNB例如包括宏eNB和小eNB。小eNB可以为覆盖比宏小区小的小区的eNB，诸如微微eNB、 微eNB和家庭(毫微微)eNB。对于gNB也可以由类似的情形。代替地，基站可以被实现为任何其他类型的基站，诸如NodeB和基站收发台(BTS)。基站可以包括：被配置为控制无线通信的主体(也称为基站设备)；以及设置在与主体不同的地方的一个或多个远程无线头端(RRH)。另外，各种类型的用户设备均可以通过暂时地或半持久性地执行基站功能而作为基站工作。

[关于基站的应用示例]
(第一应用示例)
图12是示出可以应用本公开内容的技术的eNB或gNB的示意性配置的第一示例的框图。注意，以下的描述以eNB作为示例，但是同样可以应用于gNB。eNB 800包括一个或多个天线810以及基站设备820。基站设备820和每个天线810可以经由RF线缆彼此连接。
天线810中的每一个均包括单个或多个天线元件(诸如包括在多输入多输出(MIMO)天线中的多个天线元件)，并且用于基站设备820发送和接收无线信号。如图12所示，eNB 800可以包括多个天线810。例如，多个天线810可以与eNB 800使用的多个频带兼容。虽然图12示出其中eNB 800包括多个天线810的示例，但是eNB 800也可以包括单个天线810。
基站设备820包括控制器821、存储器822、网络接口823以及无线通信接口825。
控制器821可以为例如CPU或DSP，并且操作基站设备820的较高层的各种功能。例如，控制器821根据由无线通信接口825处理的信号 中的数据来生成数据分组，并经由网络接口823来传递所生成的分组。控制器821可以对来自多个基带处理器的数据进行捆绑以生成捆绑分组，并传递所生成的捆绑分组。控制器821可以具有执行如下控制的逻辑功能：该控制诸如为无线资源控制、无线承载控制、移动性管理、接纳控制和调度。该控制可以结合附近的eNB或核心网节点来执行。存储器822包括RAM和ROM，并且存储由控制器821执行的程序和各种类型的控制数据(诸如终端列表、传输功率数据以及调度数据)。
网络接口823为用于将基站设备820连接至核心网824的通信接口。控制器821可以经由网络接口823而与核心网节点或另外的eNB进行通信。在此情况下，eNB 800与核心网节点或其他eNB可以通过逻辑接口(诸如S1接口和X2接口)而彼此连接。网络接口823还可以为有线通信接口或用于无线回程线路的无线通信接口。如果网络接口823为无线通信接口，则与由无线通信接口825使用的频带相比，网络接口823可以使用较高频带用于无线通信。
无线通信接口825支持任何蜂窝通信方案(诸如长期演进(LTE)和LTE-先进)，并且经由天线810来提供到位于eNB 800的小区中的终端的无线连接。无线通信接口825通常可以包括例如基带(BB)处理器826和RF电路827。BB处理器826可以执行例如编码/解码、调制/解调以及复用/解复用，并且执行层(例如L1、介质访问控制(MAC)、无线链路控制(RLC)和分组数据汇聚协议(PDCP))的各种类型的信号处理。代替控制器821，BB处理器826可以具有上述逻辑功能的一部分或全部。BB处理器826可以为存储通信控制程序的存储器，或者为包括被配置为执行程序的处理器和相关电路的模块。更新程序可以使BB处理器826的功能改变。该模块可以为插入到基站设备820的槽中的卡或刀片。可替代地，该模块也可以为安装在卡或刀片上的芯片。同时，RF电路827可以包括例如混频器、滤波器和放大器，并且经由天线810来传送和接收无线信号。
如图12所示，无线通信接口825可以包括多个BB处理器826。例如，多个BB处理器826可以与eNB 800使用的多个频带兼容。如图12所示，无线通信接口825可以包括多个RF电路827。例如，多个RF电路827可以与多个天线元件兼容。虽然图12示出其中无线通信接口825包括多个BB处理器826和多个RF电路827的示例，但是无线通信接口 825也可以包括单个BB处理器826或单个RF电路827。
在图12所示的eNB 800中，电子设备200的接收单元201和发送单元203可以由无线通信接口825实现。功能的至少一部分也可以由控制器821实现。例如，控制器821可以通过执行接收单元201、估计单元202和发送单元203的功能实现响应于UE的请求来发送网络节点能够提供的通信质量的信息。
