CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the priority of the Chinese patent application with the application number 202010606082.X and the application title "A beam management method and device" filed with the China Patent Office on June 29, 2020, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference Applying.

technical field

The present application relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a beam management method and apparatus.

Background technique

Wireless network technology has developed into the era of the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5th-Generation, 5G). eMTC and uRLLC. Among them, eMBB will be able to provide 10Gbits per second uplink and downlink throughput for each cell. In order to obtain such a bandwidth, eMBB will use a wider range of spectrum resources, extending from the low frequency band used by LTE to high frequency bands (such as 28GHz, 39GHz) Wait). High-frequency electromagnetic waves have the characteristics of high path loss. In order to overcome the large propagation loss caused by high-frequency frequency and achieve better cell coverage, a signal transmission mechanism based on beamforming technology is introduced to compensate by larger antenna gain. Transmission loss during signal propagation.

The beam management method adopted in the existing system is to transmit a synchronization signal broadcast channel block (synchronization signal/PBCH block, SSB) for initial access and beam tracking, and after access, through the SSB and channel state information reference signal (channel state information-reference signals, referred to as CSI-RS) for beam management. The current beam management method is not suitable for all scenarios. For example, when the terminal equipment moves, the terminal equipment fails to timely The system cannot measure the reference signal, or the configured transmission reference signal beam used to track the working beam remains unchanged, or the terminal equipment moves at a high speed and the service quality deteriorates, but the system still maintains the previous measurement period. The optimal beam pair is measured. For another example, if the terminal device is in a stationary state or moves at a slow speed, the system still maintains the previous measurement period, and frequent measurements will increase the power consumption of the terminal device.

In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The specific operation methods in the method embodiments may also be applied to the apparatus embodiments or the system embodiments.

The technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various communication systems, for example, a long term evolution (LTE) system, a fifth generation (5G) communication system, or a 5G new wireless (new radio, NR) system, or may also be a next-generation mobile communication system or other similar communication systems, as long as there is one entity that can measure according to a signal from another entity, there is no specific limitation.

Taking the 5G NR system as an example, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication system to which the embodiments of the present application can be applied. As shown in FIG. 1 , the 5G NR system mainly performs beamforming on signals through an antenna array to achieve precise narrow beam pairing. User provides services. The communication system includes: terminal equipment and network equipment.

Terminal equipment, also known as user equipment (UE), mobile station (MS), mobile terminal (MT), etc., is a device that provides voice or data connectivity to users. Can be an IoT device. For example, the terminal device includes a handheld device with a wireless connection function, a vehicle-mounted device, and the like. At present, terminal devices can be: mobile phones (mobile phones), tablet computers, notebook computers, PDAs, mobile internet devices (MIDs), wearable devices (such as smart watches, smart bracelets, pedometers, etc.) , in-vehicle equipment (for example, cars, bicycles, electric vehicles, airplanes, ships, trains, high-speed rail, etc.), virtual reality (VR) equipment, augmented reality (AR) equipment, industrial control (industrial control) wireless terminals, smart home equipment (such as refrigerators, TVs, air conditioners, electricity meters, etc.), intelligent robots, workshop equipment, wireless terminals in self-driving, wireless terminals in remote medical surgery, A wireless terminal in a smart grid, a wireless terminal in transportation safety, a wireless terminal in a smart city, or a wireless terminal in a smart home, flying equipment (for example, Intelligent robots, hot air balloons, drones, airplanes), etc.

In this embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may further include a relay (relay). Alternatively, it can be understood that any device capable of data communication with the base station can be regarded as a terminal device.

A network device may be a node in a radio access network (RAN), also known as a base station, or a RAN node (or device). At present, examples of some network devices 101 are: general node B (gNB), new radio node B (NR-NB), transmission reception point (TRP), evolved node B (evolved Node B, eNB), radio network controller (radio network controller, RNC), node B (Node B, NB), base station controller (base station controller, BSC), base transceiver station (base transceiver station, BTS) , home base station (for example, home evolved NodeB, HeNB; or home Node B, HNB), base band unit (BBU), or wireless fidelity (wireless fidelity, Wifi) access point (access point, AP), Or 5G communication systems or network-side devices in possible future communication systems, etc.

In this embodiment of the present application, the apparatus for implementing the function of the network device may be the network device, or may be an apparatus capable of supporting the network device to implement the function, such as a chip system, and the apparatus may be installed in the network device. In the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described by taking the network device as an example for the apparatus for implementing the function of the network device.

Compared to LTE systems, 5G NR systems will have a wider spectrum range (within GHz). Since the signal is in the high frequency range, it will suffer more path loss and signal fading than the low frequency signal, and the signal change will be more drastic. Based on this, the NR system can realize the centralized transmission of signals in a certain direction by using massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) and multi-beam technology, which enhances the signal resistance. fading ability. Both network devices and end devices communicate using narrower beams, so better communication quality is only achieved when the beam used for transmission is aligned with the beam used for reception. Therefore, it has been determined in the 3GPP RAN1 meeting that the beam sweeping (beam sweeping) process will be used in 5G NR to determine the beam pair (transmitting beam and receiving beam) between the network device and the terminal device. For downlink transmission, the network device's The working beam is the sending beam, the working beam of the terminal equipment is the receiving beam, and for uplink transmission, the working beam of the terminal equipment is the sending beam, and the working beam of the network equipment is the receiving beam.

Beam management refers to a series of operations on the network equipment side and the terminal equipment side to acquire and manage the user's downlink and uplink beam transmission/reception, including beam selection, beam measurement, beam reporting, and beam scanning. Beam management is performed based on a series of reference signals, and network devices or terminal devices use different transmit or receive beams on these reference signals to scan the beams. The terminal device or the network device performs measurement based on the scanned beam, further performs the beam selection process, and feeds back the selected result.

When a network device or a terminal device sends a signal, it needs to be able to send the signal in a direction that reaches the receiving end with the best signal quality. When the network device is transmitting, the direction is found by evaluating the quality of a specific reference signal from each of the multiple beams of the terminal device, and the best beam is selected. When the terminal device is transmitting, the terminal device finds the direction by evaluating the quality of a specific reference signal from each of the plurality of beams of the network device and selects the best beam.

When a network device or a terminal device receives a signal, it needs to be able to receive the signal from the transmitter with the best signal quality. Before the network device receives a signal from the terminal device, it first obtains the information of the best direction from the terminal device in the form of a CSI report. When the terminal device receives the signal from the network device, it first obtains the best direction information from the network device.

In the description of the embodiments of the present application, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "a plurality" refers to two or more. "And/or", which describes the relationship of the associated objects, indicates that there can be three kinds of relationships, for example, A and/or B, it can indicate that A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone, where A, B can be singular or plural. The character "/" generally indicates that the associated objects are an "or" relationship. "At least one item(s) below" or similar expressions thereof refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single item(s) or plural items(s). For example, at least one item (a) of a, b, or c can represent: a, b, c, ab, ac, bc, or abc, where a, b, c can be single or multiple .

And, unless stated to the contrary, the ordinal numbers such as “first” and “second” mentioned in the embodiments of the present application are used to distinguish multiple objects, and are not used to limit the order, sequence, priority or priority of multiple objects. Importance.

In the current beam management strategy, the reference signals configured by the network device cannot meet all scenarios. Taking the network device as the gNB and the terminal device as the UE as an example, several scenarios are listed below for specific description.

Scenario 1: After the UE accesses the system and enters the connected state or the active state, the network device configures the reference signal for beam tracking and adjustment. In the scenario where the UE moves, the UE fails to measure the reference signal in time at a certain moment, and the system The optimal beam pair cannot be adjusted, resulting in degraded communication experience. Wherein, the reference signal may be a synchronization/physical broadcast channel block (synchronization/physical broadcast channel block, SSB) and/or a channel state information-reference signal (channel state information-reference signal, CSI-RS).

Referring to FIG. 2 , it is a schematic diagram of beam tracking based on a reference signal according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in Figure 2, the gNB side has four beams, namely Bt1, Bt2, Bt3, and Bt4, and the UE side has four beams, namely Br1, Br2, Br3, and Br4. At time 1, the UE is in position A, the working beam on the gNB side is Bt1, the working beam on the UE side is Br3, and the working beam pair is (Bt1/Br3). The UE moves to the right, and at time 2, the UE arrives at position B. At this time, the UE and the gNB measure the measurement beam based on the reference signal CSI-RS/SSB respectively. It should be noted that among all the beams on the gNB side, the beams except the working beam and the measurement beam are called other beams. Similarly, among all the beams on the UE side, the beams except the working beam and the measurement beam are called other beams. beam. The UE continues to move to the right. At time 2', the UE moves slightly relative to position B and arrives at position B'. At this time, the UE obtains the measurement result measured at time 2, that is, the optimal beam pair (Bt1/Br2) is obtained, And adjust the working beam to the optimal beam pair (Bt1/Br2). The UE continues to move to the right and reaches position C at time 3. At this time, the optimal beam pair has become (Bt2/Br1), but since there is no reference signal CSI-RS/SSB, it cannot be adjusted to the optimal beam based on the measurement results. Pair (Bt2/Br1), still keep the previous working beam pair (Bt1/Br2). The UE continues to move to the right. At time 4, the UE arrives at the position D, and the next measurement period is reached. The base station obtains the optimal beam pair (Bt2/Br1) based on the measurement results of the reference signal CSI-RS/SSB measurement. Therefore, The system adjusts the working beam pair to the optimal beam pair (Bt2/Br1).

In this example, the UE continues to move. At time 3, since the next reference signal measurement cycle is not reached, that is, the measurement of the optimal beam pair is not performed at the position C, the system cannot adjust to the optimal beam pair (Bt2/Br1). Instead, the previous beam pair (Bt1/Br2) will continue to work, the communication experience will be degraded, and in severe cases, service will be interrupted.

Scenario 2, when the UE configures the sending reference signal beam for tracking the working beam, the gNB side usually takes the current working beam as the center, and uses the surrounding beams of the working beam to track the reference signal.

Referring to FIG. 3 , it is a schematic diagram of the configuration of a reference signal beam for tracking a working beam according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in FIG. 3 , at time 1, the working beam of the gNB is Bt12, and the configured transmit reference signal beams for tracking the working beam are Bt7, Bt11, Bt13, and Bt17. The UE moves to the right, and at time 2, the gNB still measures based on the previously configured beams Bt7, Bt11, Bt13 and Bt17 for tracking the reference signal, and selects the optimal beam from the beams Bt7, Bt11, Bt13 and Bt17 as the work Beam, but the UE has moved at time 2 relative to time 1, the optimal beam on the gNB side should actually be Bt15, so the optimal beam selected by gNB from beams Bt7, Bt11, Bt13 and Bt17 is not gNB The optimal beam at time 2 causes the gNB's communication experience to be degraded at time 2, and in severe cases, services will be interrupted.

In this example, the UE moves, and the transmit reference signal beam configured at time 1 for tracking the working beam cannot meet the measurement requirements at time 2, but the current beam management strategy cannot know how to configure more reasonable use at time 2. It is used to track the transmit reference signal beam of the working beam to ensure that a better beam pair can be measured.

The sending reference signal beam used for tracking the working beam involved in the embodiments of the present application may be understood as a beam used for sending reference signals, where the reference signal is used for tracking the working beam, which will not be described in detail below.

In the third case, the measurement period for measuring the optimal beam based on the reference signal is fixed.

Referring to FIG. 4 , it is a schematic diagram of reference signal measurement oriented to beam management according to an embodiment of the present application.

In order to track the beam, it is necessary to configure the reference signal to measure the working beam and the candidate beam. As shown in Figure 4, the current beam management strategy is performing periodic measurement or semi-static measurement, but no matter whether the UE moves or the service experience changes, all The measurement of the optimal beam is performed while maintaining a fixed measurement period.

When the UE is in a stationary state or is moving at a slow speed, and the service experience index does not change, the CSI-RS measurement period is too short, which will waste the time-frequency domain resources of the system, and the UE needs to measure and report the reference signal. , frequent measurements will lead to an increase in the power consumption of the end device. When the UE is in a high-speed mobile state and the service experience index deteriorates, the system still maintains the previous CSI-RS measurement period, which will cause the reference signal measurement to fail to track the optimal beam pair.

The current beam management strategy cannot provide a reasonable beam management method for the above-mentioned situations, resulting in degraded communication experience.

In order to solve the above problems, the technical solutions of the present application are provided. The methods provided by the embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 5 , it is a schematic flowchart of a beam management method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 5, the method flow includes the following steps:

Step 501, the network device sends a query message to the terminal device, where the query message is used to instruct the terminal device to report the first information. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the query message sent by the network device.

Step 502: The terminal device sends first information to the network device, where the first information includes location information of the terminal device and/or movement speed information of the terminal. Correspondingly, the network device receives the first information sent by the terminal device.

The location information of the terminal device may include the current location of the terminal device and the position measured by the terminal device in the last reference signal, and the movement speed information of the terminal device is used to indicate the movement speed of the terminal device.

The terminal device may be a terminal device in an RRC connected state or an RRC active state.

It should be understood that the above step 501 is an optional step, that is, the terminal device may actively report the first information to the network device, for example, periodically reporting the first information, or after receiving the query message sent by the network device , the terminal device sends the first information to the network device.

Step 503, the network device adjusts the beam management policy according to at least the first information.

This embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific implementation manner in which the network device adjusts the beam management policy according to at least the first information. As an example, an implementation manner of adjusting the beam management policy by the network device according to the first information may include:

Implementation mode 1: When the first preset condition is satisfied, the network device adjusts the first beam in the working state of the network device to the second beam based on the location information, or adjusts the working state between the network device and the terminal device. The first beam pair of is adjusted to the second beam pair.

Exemplarily, the working beam pair may be updated through RRC reconfiguration.

The second beam is the beam in the direction in which the signal sent by the network device can reach the terminal device with the best signal quality, that is, the current optimal beam. The second beam pair includes a transmit beam in a direction in which a signal reaching the receiving end with the best signal quality can be transmitted and a receive beam in a direction in which a signal with the best signal quality can be received.

Wherein, the first preset condition may include at least one of the following:

Condition 3: When the network device receives the first information, it has not yet sent the first indication information to the terminal device, and the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to measure the reference signal.

In an example, the first preset condition includes one of the above three conditions. When this condition is satisfied, the network device may adjust the first beam in the working state of the network device to the second beam based on the location information, Alternatively, the first beam pair in the working state between the network device and the terminal device is adjusted to be the second beam pair. Correspondingly, when this condition is not met, the network device may not adjust the beam management strategy, that is, the network device still uses the first beam or the first beam pair measured at the last reference signal measurement position to transmit signals.

For example, taking the first preset condition including the above-mentioned condition 1 as an example, when the above-mentioned condition 1 is not satisfied, that is, it is determined according to the location information that the current position of the terminal device does not change relative to the position of the terminal device corresponding to the working beam on the network device, Then the beam management strategy is not adjusted.

For another example, taking the first preset condition including the above-mentioned condition 2 as an example, when the above-mentioned condition 2 is not satisfied, that is, the demodulation reference signal DMRS performance parameter of the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH or the physical uplink control channel PUCCH is greater than or equal to the first gate. limit, the beam management strategy is not adjusted.

For another example, taking the first preset condition including the above-mentioned condition 3 as an example, when the above-mentioned condition 3 is not satisfied, that is, the network device has already sent the first indication information to the terminal device when receiving the first information, the beam management is not adjusted. strategy, in this case, the optimal beam obtained by measuring according to the first indication information is used as the working beam.

In another example, the first preset condition includes any two of the above three conditions. When these two conditions are satisfied, the network device may adjust the first beam in the working state of the network device to the first beam based on the location information. Two beams, or, adjusting the first beam pair in the working state between the network device and the terminal device to be the second beam pair. Correspondingly, when these two conditions are not met, the network device may not adjust the beam management strategy, that is, the network device still uses the first beam or the first beam pair measured at the last reference signal measurement position to transmit signals.

In yet another example, the first preset condition includes the above three conditions at the same time, and when the three conditions are satisfied, the network device can adjust the first beam in the working state of the network device to the second beam based on the location information, or , adjust the first beam pair in the working state between the network device and the terminal device to the second beam pair. Correspondingly, when the three conditions are not met, the network device may not adjust the beam management strategy, that is, the network device still uses the first beam or the first beam pair measured at the last reference signal measurement position to transmit signals.

The implementation manner of adjusting the beam management strategy is specifically described below by taking improving the communication experience in the above-mentioned first situation as an example.

As shown in Figure 6, there are four beams on the gNB side, namely Bt1, Bt2, Bt3, and Bt4, and four beams on the UE side, namely Br1, Br2, Br3, and Br4. At time 1, the UE is in position A, the working beam on the gNB side is Bt1, the working beam on the UE side is Br3, and the working beam pair is (Bt1/Br3). The UE moves to the right, and at time 2, the UE arrives at position B. At this time, the UE and the gNB measure the measurement beam based on the reference signal CSI-RS/SSB respectively. It should be noted that among all the beams on the gNB side, the beams except the working beam and the measurement beam are called other beams. Similarly, among all the beams on the UE side, the beams except the working beam and the measurement beam are called other beams. The beam UE continues to move to the right. At time 2', the UE moves slightly relative to position B and arrives at position B'. At this time, the UE obtains the measurement result measured at time 2, that is, the optimal beam pair (Bt1/Br2 ), and adjust the working beam to the optimal beam pair (Bt1/Br2). The UE continues to move to the right. At time 3, the UE arrives at the position C. At this time, the next measurement period has not yet arrived. Based on the UE's position information, the gNB determines that the UE is within the coverage of the beam Bt2 to the right of the beam Bt1. The Bt2 on the right is determined as the optimal beam on the gNB side. The base station actively adjusts the working beam on the base station side from Bt1 to Bt2, or adjusts the working beam pair to (Bt2/Br1) through RRC reconfiguration. The UE continues to move to the right. At time 4, the UE arrives at the position D, and the next measurement period is reached. The base station obtains the optimal beam pair (Bt2/Br1) based on the measurement results of the reference signal CSI-RS/SSB measurement. Therefore, The system adjusts the working beam pair to the optimal beam pair (Bt2/Br1).
