In the communication system of the IMT-2030 standard, the terahertz frequency band (0.1~10THz) will be supported for communication. The base station side will use higher gain antennas and integrate more antennas and use beamforming technology to form a "pencil-shaped" "Ultra-narrow beams to overcome high path loss to further improve cell coverage, but since path loss is more likely to occur in the terahertz band, narrower shaped beams will be used to ensure cell coverage. In this case, due to the narrowing of the beam, it takes longer for beam scanning to cover all beam directions required for the entire cell. For communication in the terahertz wave band, the existing traversal beam direction scanning strategy has obvious shortcomings in the scanning time. .

In view of the above problems, an embodiment of the present application proposes a beamforming signal transmission method, which can perform fast beamforming based on the user's location and improve the communication speed in the terahertz frequency band.

As shown in FIG. 2, it is a schematic diagram of the base station 101 sending beamforming to the user terminal UE 102. The base station determines the environmental information within the range of the cell base station through the detection and perception method, wherein the environmental information can be the object that affects the beamforming. , and objects that can reflect the shaped beam, and determine the location information of the UE within the range of the cell base station according to the detection perception, and according to the quality of each transmission link of the shaped beam between the base station and the UE, in the direction of the directional beam, the downlink The signal is beamformed and sent to the UE.

The embodiment of the present application provides a beamforming signal transmission method, which is applied to the base station side. As shown in FIG. 3 , the method includes the following steps:

Step S301, determining the location information of the user terminal UE in the cell, collecting environmental information within the cell range, and determining the surrounding object information of the UE according to the environmental information;

In order to transmit the beamforming signal to the user terminal UE, it is first necessary to know the location information of the user terminal UE. The above-mentioned location information of the UE may be the position coordinates of the UE determined by using the positioning coordinates, or may be the distance and distance of the UE relative to the base station and the base station. direction angle.

Wherein, the location information of the UE in the cell can be determined by any positioning method, for example, the UE in the cell sends to the base station the identity of the location or the carrying location of the device, or the base station can actively scan the location of each UE and the UE in the cell , where each UE is determined by scanning, either by installing a marker in the UE in advance, and when the base station scans, whether the scanned object is a UE can be determined according to the marker, or a marker can be placed on the surface of the UE, When the base station recognizes the identifier through the image, the object at the location is determined to be the UE. In specific implementation, as long as the location relationship between the UE and the base station can be mapped, it can be applied to this application to determine the location of the user terminal UE in the cell , wherein the manner of determining the location information of the user terminal UE in the cell is not limited to the manner provided in the foregoing embodiment, which should be known by those skilled in the art, and will not be repeated here.

The above cell range may be the farthest range that the cell base station can cover during communication, or the farthest detection position that the cell base station can detect. Preferably, the final determined cell range is that the cell base station can both communicate and cover And the location that the cell base station can detect.

The function of the collected environmental information within the cell range is to determine whether there are obstacles that block the transmission of the shaped beam and objects that can reflect the scattered beam before determining that the downlink beamforming signal needs to be sent, so that the downlink beamforming signal It can be sent from the base station to the UE side in the form of the strongest signal or the fastest speed under the condition of ensuring the transmission quality or speed.

The above environment information may be the same type of environment information, or may be different types of environment information. Those skilled in the art should understand that when there are multiple types of environment information, the base station uses multiple types of environment information to detect the UE. Comprehensive analysis of the object information of the UE can determine the outline, orientation and material information of the objects around the UE. In specific implementation, only the objects existing in the coverage area of the base station need to be determined to determine the environment information in this embodiment, so as to determine whether there is an object that affects the transmission of the beamforming signal on the path sent by the base station to the UE side.

The above method of collecting environmental information within the cell range may be to detect objects by sending detection signals to each object in the cell, and determine the contour, orientation, material and other information according to the signals fed back by the detection signals received by each object, or to detect the objects in the cell. Real-time shooting of each object inside, and object detection based on the captured image to determine the contour, orientation and other information.

It should be noted that, in order to enable the above environmental information to better assist the base station in determining the path sent to the UE side, after obtaining the above environmental information, the environmental information can be imported into the modeling software to draw a three-dimensional model, and the base station can draw the three-dimensional model according to the three-dimensional model. In the drawing situation, the beam path sent by the base station to the UE is simulated on the model, and when drawing the model, the plane model can also be drawn first. If it is determined that there is no obstruction in a certain direction of the plane model, the subsequent direction can be used directly. Sends a directional beam, which simplifies the model drawing process and increases the speed of direction determination.

In addition, the above-mentioned environmental information may be an object that is stationary for a period of time or an object that moves within a cell. The environmental information determined by the stationary object and the environmental information determined by the moving object may be used in combination or separately. , the purpose is to ensure that the positions of objects and UEs in the current cell are immediacy.

It should be noted that, in order to reduce the detection power consumption of the base station, during the actual detection, the environment information in the entire cell range can be scanned as a whole, and the surrounding environment information of the UE can also be scanned so that the base station can reduce the detection power consumption. There are obstacles that block the beam transmission at other locations in the cell range, but the obstacles do not affect the communication between the base station and the UE, or are not in the corresponding beam communication direction, so the base station may not detect the obstacles.

Step S302, according to the position information of the UE and the surrounding object information of the UE, determine a communication path used for communication with the UE and a directional beam direction corresponding to the communication path;

In order to communicate with the UE, it is first necessary to determine the location information of the UE and whether there is object information around the UE. Specifically, when it is determined that there is no obstruction on the path where the UE communicates with the base station, at this moment, send the information to the object. The directional beam is sent in the direction of the obstruction. If there is an obstruction that blocks all straight paths for communication between the base station and the UE, the shaped beam can be sent to the UE by reflection or scattering from objects in other positions.

It should be noted that, when it is determined that there is a path capable of beam transmission at the above time, the directional beam transmission is performed according to the pre-planned optimal path, so that the UE obtains a larger received signal strength;

If it is determined according to the current UE position and surrounding objects that there is no path capable of beam transmission, the base station may wait for a preset time, and when there is a path capable of beam transmission at the next moment, plan a path for directional beam transmission.

In addition, it is determined above that there may be multiple paths capable of beam transmission, that is, the base station can determine the multiple paths, select a path with the best beam transmission effect, and send directional beams in the direction of the path, or send the directional beam in the direction of the path. When the requirements of the communication link budget meet the requirements of sending directional beams in multiple directions at the same time, the base station sends directional beams to multiple feasible paths, so that the transmission effect of downlink signals is the best.

Among them, the specific description of determining the existence of a path capable of beam transmission is as follows:

All transmission paths can be obtained by simulating using the ray tracing method, but the UE may not be able to receive sufficient signal strength on these transmission paths, that is, the signal strength received by the UE does not reach its detection threshold. Factors affecting the signal strength received by the UE include base station transmit power, base station antenna gain, environment and other factors.

If there are some paths that enable the UE to receive a signal strength that exceeds the detection threshold, the base station transmits a shaped beam in the best direction, so that the UE can receive higher power, thereby obtaining better performance;

If all paths fail to enable the UE to obtain sufficient received signal strength, that is, the UE received signal power does not reach its detection threshold on all paths, however, it is still possible to simulate and find the best beam direction, even if the best transmission The signal on the path also cannot reach the UE detection threshold. The path can be simulated by the method of simulation, that is, there must be a transmission path (the electromagnetic wave propagation modes include reflection, scattering, diffraction, transmission, etc.). Then, the base station uses the shaped beam in the best beam direction. There should be two situations:

Case 1. The base station uses beamforming technology, and the UE can obtain sufficient signal strength, indicating that the connection establishment is completed;

Scenario 2. The base station uses beamforming technology, but the UE still cannot obtain sufficient signal strength. It can be considered that the base station uses related technologies, such as using power control technology to increase some transmit power in the transmit direction, so as to ensure the normal establishment of the connection.

If the connection cannot be established after using these technologies, the base station may wait for a preset time, and when there is a beam direction capable of establishing a connection at the next moment, plan a path for directional beam transmission.

Among them, the base station is only responsible for the detection, perception, storage and data update of the environment of the cell and the UE, and when the base station detects the location of the UE, it means that the UE is within the coverage of the base station, and the base station needs to communicate with the UE. , obtain the optimal path through ray tracing simulation, and then instruct the base station to send out a shaped beam to the path and establish a connection with the UE. If the base station still cannot establish a connection with the UE using the shaped beam, it means that the signal power received by the UE does not reach the detection threshold.

Step S303: Perform beamforming on the downlink signal in the direction of the directional beam, and send the beamformed downlink signal to the UE.

After determining the current beam transmission path, shape the directional transmission beam, where the beamforming method is related to the current communication method. Integrate a larger number of antennas to form a "pencil-like" ultra-narrow beam for directional beam transmission.

It should be noted that, in order to ensure the subsequent beam transmission, the UE can measure the directional beam faster when scanning the beam sent by the designated base station. Beam direction, or, when the UE receives the directional beam sent for the first time in this direction, the direction is regarded as the optimal beam direction. After the UE receives the optimal beam direction information, it can use a smaller scanning amplitude or angle than the previous scan. The above-mentioned method of indicating the optimal beam direction is not limited to the method provided above, and other indicating methods can also be applied in this application, which should be known by those skilled in the art, and will not be repeated here.

As an optional implementation manner, the collecting environment information in the cell, and determining the surrounding object information of the UE according to the environment information, includes:

Wherein, the active detection and perception signal includes one or more of laser detection and perception signal, millimeter wave sensor detection and perception signal, and terahertz wave sensor detection and perception signal; and/or;

Specifically, the base station side can use the detection and perception module to collect UEs within the cell range and environmental information within the cell range, wherein the detection and perception module can be integrated in the base station, or can be used as an independent device for each spatial location within the cell range It is not limited here.

Active detection and perception means that the base station controls the detection and perception module to send active detection and perception signals to at least one direction, and the active detection and perception signals include laser detection and perception signals, millimeter-wave sensor detection and perception signals, and terahertz wave sensors. Any one or any of the multiple signals, the above-mentioned signals may be used in combination or separately to determine the profile and orientation information of objects in the cell.

Active detection and perception method 1. Use laser detection and perception signals to detect objects.

Through the detection and perception module, the distance information of the target object can be quickly obtained by emitting laser light to each object in the area of the cell and the time difference of receiving the reflected laser light, and the orientation of the target object can be obtained by obtaining the scanning angle of the laser, using the method of laser detection. It has the characteristics of high measurement accuracy, fast response time and insensitivity to changes in the lighting environment. The contour of each object in the community can be detected by laser.

Active detection and perception method 2. Use millimeter wave sensor detection and perception signals to detect objects.

Since the laser beam emitted by the laser sensing module has a strong directionality, it is easy to appear blind spots of vision, that is, if there is an obstruction on the laser transmission path, it is impossible to perceive the object information without distance difference. Therefore, for objects in the blind area of vision, the laser blind area can be covered by millimeter waves, and the sensing distance of the millimeter wave sensing module is farther than that of the laser sensing module, and the position information of each object in the cell can be detected through the millimeter wave.

Active detection and perception method 3. Use terahertz wave sensing to detect and sense signals to detect objects.

Because millimeter waves can only determine the location information of objects in the cell, but it is difficult to identify objects, while terahertz waves have strong penetration of non-polar materials, and terahertz waves have the "fingerprint spectrum" characteristic. , so that the occluded target can be detected, and then the position information of each object in the cell can be obtained.

The passive detection and perception signal includes a visual sensor detection and perception signal, and the determination of the orientation information of the object in the cell according to the detection result of the object includes:

Use the visual sensor to detect the perception signal and collect the image of the cell; perform image analysis on the image of the cell to identify the outline of the object in the cell, and determine the object in the cell by the monocular imaging ranging method or the binocular stereo vision ranging method Orientation information of objects in the cell is determined according to the mapping relationship between the grid orientation obtained by dividing the cell and each pixel in the cell image.

Specifically, the base station uses at least one high-definition camera in the detection and perception module to obtain surrounding environment information based on image analysis, and uses image analysis and recognition technology to perceive the shape, size and position of objects within the cell range. The determination can be obtained by the monocular imaging ranging method and the binocular stereo vision ranging method, or, the base station divides the space within the cell coverage in advance, and measures the spatial coordinate value of each grid, Then create a mapping relationship. In this way, each pixel of the picture captured by the camera has position information. When an object appears within the visual coverage of the sensor, the position coordinates of the object can be directly estimated by the pixels it occupies.

In addition, the above-mentioned active detection and perception signals and passive detection and perception signals can be used separately or in combination. For example, one method of using the signals in combination is that after the camera performs imaging, the specific category information of the object is obtained through image analysis and recognition. Then the base station controls the position determined by the image analysis, and sends out active detection and perception signals, such as lasers, millimeter waves or terahertz waves, for fixed-point ranging and material analysis.

Specifically, after object detection is carried out through active detection and perception signals and/or passive detection and perception signals to obtain the outline and orientation information of objects in the cell, the outline and orientation information are input into the model building software, and the outline and orientation information are entered according to the outline and orientation information. , and construct a 3D three-dimensional model of each object in the cell, so that the subsequent base station determines the direction of beam directional transmission according to the above-mentioned three-dimensional model.

As an optional implementation manner, after the three-dimensional environment model in the cell is constructed according to the outline and orientation information of objects in the cell, the method further includes:

Because the parts that change are mainly movable vehicles and people, and buildings are the framework that composes the entire 3D model, and this framework is not updated frequently. Therefore, the model within the coverage of the entire base station does not need to be updated frequently after the drawing is completed, but only needs to be updated regularly. The positions of vehicles and people that have changed are updated in this framework. If there is a moving object blocking the directional path within the cell, the transmission quality of the beam signal will be affected. Therefore, after determining the UE that sends the signal, detect the inside of the cell. Whether the position of each object has changed compared with the 3D three-dimensional model drawn at the previous moment, if there is a position change, the current three-dimensional environment model will be updated according to the current position information. The 3D model is reported to the base station, and then only moving objects (moving cars, pedestrians, etc.) are reported, and static objects (buildings, trees, stationary cars, etc.) are no longer reported, unless the static objects in the environment have changed.

As an optional implementation manner, determining the location information of the user terminal UE in the cell includes:

If active detection and sensing signals are required to identify UEs in the cell, the terahertz wave sensing and sensing signals are used to identify the UEs in the cell, and the millimeter wave sensing and sensing signals are used to determine the location information of the UE.

In the specific implementation, the specific position of the object is first determined by using the millimeter wave sensor to detect the perception signal, and the spectrum analysis is performed by using the terahertz wave. If the material of the object is determined to be UE after the spectrum analysis, the UE is determined according to the millimeter wave. In addition, the UE can be equipped with a marker, and the marker can be integrated into the UE. When the millimeter wave or terahertz wave recognizes the marker, the location information of the UE can be determined.

Alternatively, if passive detection and perception signals are required to identify UEs in a cell, the location information of the UEs can be determined by a monocular imaging ranging method or a binocular stereoscopic vision ranging method, or, according to the grid orientation obtained by dividing the cell and the The mapping relationship of each pixel in the cell image determines the location information of the UE.

During the specific implementation, the image analysis of the portrait and the UE equipment is performed on the image of the cell. If it is determined that a certain part of the image is a person or a UE, the location information of the UE is determined. During image analysis, when a marker is identified in the image, the location information of the UE is determined, wherein the identification of the marker is related to the size of the marker and the resolution error of the camera, which is not limited here.

As another optional implementation manner, determining the location information of the user terminal UE in the cell may be: receiving a location request that carries a location identifier sent by the UE, and according to the location identifier and different location identifiers and the location location to determine the location information of the UE.

Specifically, the UE device first sends a positioning request carrying a positioning identifier to the base station, and the base station determines the location information of the UE according to the unique identifier of the UE and the positioning identifier. The type of the positioning identifier is not limited here.

As an optional implementation manner, the method further includes: determining a directional beam direction to be adopted according to the communication path, including:

In order to enable the UE to use a receiving beam with a smaller angle extension for measurement in subsequent signal transmission, the downlink signal for beamforming in the directional beam direction also carries the directional beam direction indication information, and the UE according to the directional beam direction indication information , taking the best receiving direction corresponding to the directional beam direction as the receiving center, and using a smaller angular extension range for beam measurement.

As an optional implementation manner, the tracking of the position change of the target moving object according to the detection result of the target moving object includes:

When the base station needs to send a signal, it has already determined the location information of the UE to be sent. Therefore, if the base station is informed of all objects that have changed their positions within the cell range, there will also be a lot of useless data. Model time, but in fact, it is only necessary to determine the objects whose positions change on the transmission path between the base station and the UE. Specifically, the base station determines whether the objects in the cell are related to the UE according to the positional relationship between the base station signal transmission device and the UE. Relevance, that is, whether the movement of the object will affect the transmission of the signal. If there is an unrelated moving object, the detection and perception module will no longer track and measure the unrelated moving object, only track and report the relevant moving object, and update the three-dimensional model. The method is the same as the above construction. The method of the three-dimensional model is based on the same concept and will not be repeated here.

As an optional implementation manner, the determining of a communication path used for communication with the UE and a directional beam direction corresponding to the communication path includes:

If the obstruction does not exist, determine the straight path as the main communication path, and determine the directional beam direction corresponding to the straight path;

If there is the occluder, use the ray tracing method to determine the reflection or scattering path with the UE, select the strongest and second strongest reflection or scattering paths from the simulation results, and determine one or more correspondingly The best reflection point or scattering point, at least one directional beam direction corresponding to the reflection path is determined according to the strongest reflection point on the reflection path, or determined according to the strongest scattering point on the scattering path at least one directional beam direction corresponding to the scattering path.

Specifically, the position information of the base station and the UE in the updated 3D model is used to determine the signal transmission path between the two, that is, whether there is an obstruction. If there is no occlusion, the base station calculates the straight-line path distance and angle between the base station and the UE according to the coordinates, and controls the base station antenna to send a shaped beam to the UE; if there is an occlusion, the 3D model is used to find the Find out the reflection or scattering path between the base station and the UE, determine the best reflection or scattering path and reflection/scattering point, and determine the length of the path and the position and angle of the reflection/scattering point, and then control the base station antenna to emit to this point directional beam.

The ray tracing method is a method for solving the ray path and electromagnetic wave propagation time between two points given the position of the transmitting point and the receiving point and the wave speed of the medium. It is mainly divided into two types: forward algorithm and reverse algorithm. The test firing method, the bending method, the finite difference method, the travel time interpolation method, the shortest path method and the wavefront construction method are all forward algorithms. The path from the point to the launch point.

In addition, when using the ray tracing method, multiple reflection or scattering paths may be determined, and these reflection points/scattering points may also be multiple, but we cannot emit shaped beams to all reflection points/scattering points, so it is necessary to Determining the optimal reflection or scattering path. Typically, the optimal transmission path may be one or two. Specifically, using one or two paths and sending one or two shaped beams along the path depends on whether the communication link is satisfied. Budget requirements, when the communication link budget requirements are not met, if there are multiple optimal paths, and selecting an optimal path can satisfy the communication, the shaped beam can be sent on any optimal path.

In addition, the above-mentioned base station antenna deployment in this application has various forms. The base station antennas can be distributed and configured in various positions in the cell, or centrally arranged in the cell. When determining the communication path from the base station to the UE, it can be determined according to the distance The nearest base station antenna is determined, and the communication path from the nearest base station antenna to the corresponding UE can also be pre-configured for each UE to determine the communication path from the pre-configured base station antenna to the corresponding UE.
