图3是本申请实施例提供的网络设备和终端设备形成的多个波束的示意性场景图。为了便于描述,以CPE作为电子设备100的一例,对网络设备11和电子设备100做说明。应理解,图3所示的场景图仅为示意性说明,网络设备11和终端设备100可形成更多或更少的波束,以及,网络设备11和终端设备100也可形成各种方向的波束,本申请实施例不做任何限定。
参考图3,网络设备11形成3个发送波束,分别记为BM20、BM21、BM22,3个发送波束的方向都不同,BM20为主发送波束,BM21和BM22在自由空间的信号强度小于 BM20;终端设备100形成3个接收波束,分别记为BM10、BM11、BM12,3个接收波束的方向都不同,BM10为主发送波束,BM11和BM12在自由空间的信号强度都小于BM10,假设,BM11在自由空间的信号强度大于BM12在自由空间的信号强度。
继续以图3为例,基于波束扫描原理,终端设备100与网络设备11完成波束匹配,发送波束BM22与接收波束BM12形成波束对,即,发送波束BM22是网络设备的最优发送波束,接收波束BM12是终端设备100在图3所示的位置的最优接收波束。但是,实际上,由于接收波束BM12在自由空间的信号强度较小,比接收波束BM11和主接收波束波束BM10的信号强度都小,可以想来,若将终端设备100的位置调整,使得接收波束BM11或主接收波束波束BM10作为调整后的终端设备100的最优接收波束,那么,相比于终端设备100在原来位置上的信号质量,终端设备100在调整位置后的信号质量会大大提高。
所以,在本申请实施例中,在终端设备与网络设备通信的信号质量差的情况下,确定终端设备在当前位置时信号强度较好的目标接收波束的方向(记为第一方向),将终端设备在当前位置的最优接收波束的方向作为参考方向,计算第一方向和参考方向之间的角度信息,利用该角度信息来调整终端设备的位置,可以使得调整后的终端设备的最优接收波束为目标接收波束,这样,可以精准且有效地提高通信的信号质量。理想情况下,目标接收波束为主接收波束,这样,终端设备可以使用主接收波束与网络设备通信,可以使得信号质量达到一个最优状态。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例描述的终端设备从一个位置调整至另一个位置导致的终端设备的位置发生变化,不仅包括由于终端设备的移动导致的位置发生变化,也包括由于终端设备的旋转导致的位置发生变化。不过,本申请实施例涉及的基于角度信息调整的终端设备的位置主要是由于终端设备的旋转导致的位置发生变化。
图4是本申请实施例提供的由于移动导致的终端设备的位置发生变化的示意图。参考图4,开始时,终端设备处于坐标系的原点处,沿着z轴将终端设备移动一段距离后,终端设备的位置发生变化。
图5是本申请实施例提供的由于旋转导致的终端设备的位置发生变化的示意图。参考图5中的(a),开始时,终端设备处于坐标系的原点处,以终端设备的中心轴作为参考对象,中心轴与y轴的夹角为0度,将终端设备旋转如图5(b)的角度α,但未平移终端设备,终端设备的中心轴与y轴之间的夹角变为α,终端设备的位置发生变化。
以下,结合图6至图15,对本申请实施例的设备方位调整的方法做详细说明。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,假设的是网络设备的最优发送波束不变,目的是调整终端设备的位置以达到调整终端设备的最优接收波束的目的,所以,为了便于描述,将未调整前终端设备所处的位置记为第一位置,将终端设备在第一位置的最优接收波束记为第一最优接收波束,将终端设备调整后所处的位置记为第二位置,将终端设备在第二位置的最优接收波束记为第二最优接收波束。此外,本申请实施例所说的终端设备从第一位置调整至第二位置,主要涉及由于角度的旋转导致的终端设备的位置发生变化。
图6是本申请实施例提供的设备方位调整的方法200的示意性流程图。该方法200可以由上文所述的终端设备100执行,终端设备100输出方位调整指示信息,让用户基于该方位调整指示信息调整终端设备100的位置。
S210,处于第一位置的终端设备与网络设备完成波束配对,通过第一最优接收波束与 网络设备的最优发送波束进行通信。其中,第一最优接收波束为终端设备在第一位置时与网络设备进行通信的最优接收波束,波束配对形成的波束对为:第一最优接收波束和最优发送波束。
关于波束配对,终端设备与网络设备基于波束扫描原理实现,过程大致如下:
1、网络设备依次使用不同指向的发送波束发送信号,以发起波束(beam,BM)测量,该过程称为波束扫描。
2、终端设备测量多个发送波束中的每个发送波束的信号质量,并将测量值反馈给网络设备,网络设备根据反馈值确定一个信号质量最好的发送波束作为最优发送波束。
3、网络设备发起针对该最优发送波束的接收波束的BM测量,终端设备测量多个接收波束中每个接收波束与最优发送波束之间的信号质量,并反馈给网络设备,网络设备根据反馈值确定的一个信号质量最好的接收波束作为第一最优接收波束,这样,第一最优接收波束和最优发送波束形成波束对。
S220,终端设备检测到输入信号,获取第一最优接收波束与最优发送波束进行通信的信号质量,其中,输入信号用于请求信号质量。
换句话说,该输入信号是终端设备进行信号质量检测的触发条件,以确定是否调整终端设备的位置。
在S220中,终端设备可以通过设置在终端设备上的输入装置获得。
在一示例中,输入装置包括显示屏,这样,终端设备可以通过显示屏获得输入信号。示例性地,显示屏上可以显示有第一界面,第一界面上包括第一控件,用户可以对第一控件做例如滑动、点击、按压或长按等操作,终端设备在检测到用户对第一控件的操作时,确知用户的目的是请求信号质量,那么,终端设备会获取终端设备与网络设备进行通信的信号质量。通过显示屏检测输入信号的方式,直观且易实现,用户体验较好。
在另一示例中,输入装置包括按键,用户通过接触按键以实现输入信号的输入,终端设备在检测到用户对按键的操作时,获取终端设备与网络设备进行通信的信号质量。
在另一示例中,输入装置包括麦克风,用户发出语音指令,麦克风采集到该语音指令的声音信号,以获得输入信号,终端设备在检测到该声音信号后,获取终端设备与网络设备进行通信的信号质量。
应理解,上述列举的输入装置以及通过该输入装置得到输入信号的方式仅为示意性说明,不应对本申请实施例构成限定,其他任何能够获得输入信号的输入装置以及方式都在本申请实施例的保护范围内。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备与网络设备进行通信的信号质量可以基于以下至少一个参数确定:信噪比(signal-to-noise ratio,SINR)、参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP),其中,RSRP也可以理解为信号强度。
S230,终端设备确定信号质量是否满足第一预设条件。若信号质量不满足第一预设条件,则执行S242;若信号质量满足第一预设条件,则执行S241。
在一示例中,第一预设条件可以是信号质量大于或等于第一阈值。该第一阈值较低,主要用来确定终端设备在第一位置与网络设备通信是否存在一定程度的信号,例如,第一阈值可以是-120分贝豪瓦(dbm)。
S242,信号质量不满足第一预设条件,终端设备输出提示信息,用于提示用户更换终 端设备的位置。也就是说,若信号质量很差,终端设备会提示用户更换终端设备的位置。
由于信号质量很差,需要大幅度地调整终端设备的位置才有可能快速提高信号质量,这样,基于提高后的信号质量,通过角度信息继续调整终端设备的位置才会有意义以及更加有效。因此,在该步骤中,基于终端设备的提示,用户主要通过移动终端设备的方式来调整终端设备的位置,以快速提高信号质量,例如,用户可以在不同位置尝试性地移动终端设备,直到有信号。用户在移动终端设备的过程中,终端设备可以继续从S220开始执行,判断移动后的终端设备与网络设备进行通信的信号质量,直到信号质量满足第一预设条件,执行S241。
终端设备可以通过设置在终端设备上的输出装置输出提示信息,其中,输出装置与步骤S220中的输入装置可以是相同,也可以不同,此处不做限定。
在一示例中,输出装置包括显示屏,这样,终端设备可以通过显示屏输出提示信息,以提示用户更换终端设备的位置。通过显示屏输出提示信息的方式,直观且易实现,用户体验较好。
在另一示例中,输出装置包括扬声器,终端设备通过扬声器发出语音指令,以提示用户更换终端设备的位置。
应理解,上述列举的输出装置以及通过该输出装置输出提示信息的方式仅为示意性说明,不应对本申请实施例构成限定,其他任何能够输出信号的输出装置以及方式都在本申请实施例的保护范围内。
S241,信号质量满足第一预设条件,终端设备获取终端设备的波束地图和第一最优接收波束的标识。
终端设备可以与网络设备进行波束测量,确定终端设备的多个接收波束,生成多个接收波束的波束地图。波束地图用于表示终端设备的多个接收波束的空间分布,通过波束地图可以确定每个接收波束的位置以及方向。波束地图是以终端设备为起点且向终端设备的一侧发射的一个半球面图,示例性地,可以将天线所在的平面作为波束地图中的垂直面,将垂直于天线所在的平面的平面作为水平面。
图7是本申请实施例提供的波束地图在平面的投影的示意图。参考图7,H方向为水平方向,V方向为垂直方向,由H方向和V方向形成的平面可以理解为天线所在的平面,多个接收波束在由H方向和X方向形成的平面的投影如图7所示,每个小方格表示一个接收波束,方格上的数字为对应的接收波束的标识,其中,0号接收波束为主接收波束,信号强度最好。
S250,终端设备确定信号质量是否满足第二预设条件。若信号质量满足第二预设条件,则执行S262;若信号质量不满足第二预设条件,则执行S261。
第二预设条件用于确定是否需要对终端设备做旋转以精确且有效地调整终端设备的位置。
在一示例中,第二预设条件可以是信号质量大于或等于第二阈值。该第二阈值较高,例如,第二阈值可以是95分贝豪瓦(dbm)。
S262,信号质量满足第二预设条件,终端设备输出信号质量。
也就是说,在信号质量好的情况下,没有必要调整终端设备的位置,因此,终端设备可直接向用户反馈信号质量,以告知用户终端设备当前的信号质量挺好。
在S262中,终端设备可以通过输出装置输出信号质量。
在一示例中,输出装置包括显示屏,这样,终端设备可以通过显示屏输出信号质量。
在另一示例中,输出装置包括扬声器,终端设备通过扬声器发出语音信号,该语音信号用于指示信号质量。
可选地,终端设备还可以输出第一最优接收波束的标识。
S261,信号质量不满足第二预设条件,终端设备确定基于参考方向和第一方向得到的角度信息。
参考方向是第一最优接收波束的方向,第一方向是终端设备在第一位置时目标接收波束的方向,其中,目标接收波束在自由空间的信号强度大于第一最优接收波束在自由空间的信号强度。角度信息可用于表征第一方向和参考方向之间的夹角。
在S261中,终端设备通过波束地图以及第一最优接收波束的标识,确定第一最优接收波束在波束地图的位置,并且,将波束地图中信号强度大于第一最优接收波束的一个接收波束作为目标接收波束,以及,确定终端设备在第一位置时目标接收波束的方向(记为第一方向),确定终端设备在第一位置时第一最优接收波束的方向(记为参考方向),计算第一方向和参考方向之间的方位差,得到角度信息。
在本申请实施例中,角度信息用于指示至少一个旋转角度和每个旋转角度对应的旋转方向,终端设备可按照旋转方向旋转对应的旋转角度。若将终端设备按照旋转方向旋转对应的旋转角度后,就可将目标接收波束旋转至第一方向的位置,这样,调整位置后的终端设备的最优接收波束可以是目标接收波束,可以达到最优效果的信号质量。在角度信息指示多个旋转角度的实施例中,可以将终端设备依次按照不同的旋转方向旋转对应的旋转角度。
基于三维坐标系的原则,角度信息可以指示三个旋转角度和对应的三个旋转方向,一个旋转方向平行于一个坐标轴。
在基于第一方向和参考方向计算角度信息的过程中,示例性地,以第一最优接收波束的参考方向作为三维坐标系的一个坐标轴的方向,建立一个三维的相对坐标系,计算位于第一方向的目标接收波束在三个坐标轴的旋转角度,即得到终端设备的三个旋转角度,将终端设备分别按照三个旋转角度旋转,最终可使得位置变化后的目标接收波束的方向为参考方向。
图8是本申请实施例提供的调整位置前终端设备的目标接收波束、第一最优接收波束、第一方向和参考方向的示意图。参考图8,绝对坐标系是右上角的由X轴、Y轴和Z轴形成的三维坐标系,终端设备在第一位置时的第一最优接收波束为波束BM36,目标接收波束为波束BM0,波束BM36的方向是参考方向,以参考方向作为相对坐标系中一个坐标轴的方向,建立由如8所示的X 1轴、Y 1轴和Z 1轴形成的相对坐标系,在该示例中,由X轴、Y轴和Z轴形成的绝对坐标系和由X 1轴、Y 1轴和Z 1轴形成的相对坐标系刚好重合,参考方向是Y 1轴方向,也是Y方向,终端设备在第一位置时目标接收波束BM0的第一方向与参考方向在空间的夹角为θ。为了能够使得目标接收波束BM0可以旋转至参考方向所在的位置,假设,目标接收波束BM0绕X 1轴、Y 1轴和Z 1轴的旋转角度分别是γ、β和α,由γ、β和α可分别形成三个旋转矩阵,基于三个旋转矩阵、目标接收波束BM0和第一最优接收波束BM36的坐标形成第一公式,通过第一公式可得到上述三个角度。
例如,目标接收波束BM0的坐标为A=(x 1,y 1,z 1),第一最优接收波束BM36的坐标为B=(x 1’,y 1’,z 1’),目标接收波束BM0绕X 1轴、Y 1轴和Z 1轴旋转的旋转矩阵分别为R X(γ)、

Figure PCTCN2021125139-appb-000002
其中,
Figure PCTCN2021125139-appb-000003
Figure PCTCN2021125139-appb-000004
则,第一公式为:
Figure PCTCN2021125139-appb-000005
这样,基于第一公式,可以得到旋转角度γ、β和α。在该实施例中,角度信息可以指示:旋转角度γ、β和α,以及,旋转方向X 1轴、Y 1轴和Z 1轴。
S270,终端设备根据角度信息,输出方位调整指示信息,方位调整指示信息用于指示针对终端设备的旋转操作。
用户可以根据该方位调整指示信息,旋转终端设备,可以将终端设备从第一位置调整至第二位置。在第二位置,终端设备可以采用新的接收波束(即,第二最优接收波束)与最优发送波束配对使用,以提高通信的信号质量,该第二最优接收波束即为目标接收波束。
在一些实施例中,基于方位调整指示信息,用户能够按照指示较为准确旋转终端设备,这种情况下,参考图9中的(a),终端设备在第二位置时目标接收波束BM0的方向和参考方向重合,目标接收波束BM0可以作为终端设备在第二位置的第二最优接收波束,这样,目标接收波束与最优发送波束配对使用,可以使得通信的信号质量达到最好,而之前的第一最优接收波束BM36旋转至其他方向。
应理解,这里所说的两个方向“重合”,可以理解为两个方向“完全重合”或“近似重合”或“基本重合”,“近似重合”或“基本重合”可以理解为两个方向之间存在很小的夹角。
在另一些实施例中,基于方位调整指示信息,用户仅仅是大致旋转了终端设备,这种情况下,参考图9中的(b),终端设备在第二位置时目标接收波束BM0的方向未与参考方向重合,目标接收波束BM0的方向与参考方向之间具有夹角
Figure PCTCN2021125139-appb-000006
该夹角
Figure PCTCN2021125139-appb-000007
大于0且小于参考方向和第一方向之间的夹角θ,一般情况下,夹角
Figure PCTCN2021125139-appb-000008
都比较小。在该实施例中,虽然目标接收波束未完全旋转至参考方向处,但由于目标接收波束很靠近参考方向,所以,终端设备的第二最优接收波束也可以是目标接收波束,虽然信号质量可能达不到最好的效果, 但也不差,比调整位置之前的信号质量的效果会好很多。
如上文所述,主接收波束是自由空间中信号强度最好的波束,因此,在一些示例中,本申请实施例的目标接收波束为主接收波束。
在本申请实施例中,方位调整指示信息可以包括角度信息,也可以包括处理后的角度信息,处理后的角度信息便于用户识别和操作。例如,继续以图8所示的三维坐标系为例,角度信息包括:旋转角度γ、β和α,以及,旋转方向X 1轴、Y 1轴和Z 1轴,对角度信息处理后,处理后的角度信息中的旋转角度会变为角度a和角度b,旋转方向变为向左、向右、向内、或向外,其中,旋转方向是用户面向终端设备看到的方向。
此外,方位调整指示信息还可以包括信号质量、第一方向和参考方向等参数,用户可直观地确知相关信息。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以通过输出装置输出方位调整指示信息。
在一示例中,输出装置包括显示屏,终端设备可以通过显示屏输出方位调整指示信息。参考图10中的(a),方位调整指示信息以图形化的方式显示在显示屏上,指示用户先将终端设备向右旋转30度,再向内旋转10度。参考图10中的(b),方位调整指示信息指示用户将终端设备向内旋转15度。通过显示屏以图形化方式输出方位调整指示信息的方式,直观、易理解且易实现,便于用户操作,用户体验较好。
在另一示例中,输出装置包括扬声器,终端设备可以通过扬声器发出的语音指令输出方位调整指示信息,以指示用户如何调整终端设备。
用户在调整终端设备的位置时,可能并没有完全按照方位调整指示信息旋转终端设备,以使得位置调整后的终端设备的最优接收波束并不是目标接收波束,信号质量并不好。因此,用户在调整完终端设备后,可以触发终端设备,使得终端设备继续从S220开始执行,检测位置调整后的终端设备与网络设备进行通信的信号质量,若信号质量满足第二预设条件,意味着终端设备的位置调整到位,可以不用再调整,若信号质量不满足第二预设条件,可以继续执行S261和S270以调整终端设备的位置,直到信号质量满足第二预设条件,才能将终端设备的位置调整到位。
应理解,图6所示的方法200的过程仅为示意性说明,方法200可以包括更多或更少的步骤,也可以调整实现终端设备的位置。
例如,方法200中可以不需要S230,终端设备在执行完S220后可直接执行S241,也能调整终端设备的位置,不过,在信号质量很差的情况下,可能需要用户一边移动一边旋转终端设备,才有尽快提升信号质量。
还应理解,方法200的各过程的序号的大小也并不意味着执行顺序的先后,各过程的执行顺序应以其功能和内在逻辑确定,而不应对本申请实施例的实施过程构成任何限定。
例如,S241和S250的执行顺序可以互换,也就是说,在执行完S230后可直接执行250,在信号质量不满足第二预设条件时,执行S241。
