Detailed ways

The present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a smart reflector. As shown in Figure 1, the smart reflector can control the reflection angle of the incident wave to form reflected beams in different directions, and k represents the beam direction;

The metal material forming the smart reflector is described, L represents the length of the metal material, W represents the thickness of the metal material, Lin represents the distance between adjacent metal sheets in the first direction, and g represents the distance between adjacent metal sheets in the second direction .

Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a transmission model of an intelligent reflective surface; as shown in Figure 2, the Access Point in the figure represents the access point, the Intelligent Reflecting Surface represents the intelligent reflective surface, and the IRS Control Signal represents the control signal for the intelligent reflective panel panel , Uplink Signal represents the uplink signal, Downlink Signal represents the downlink signal, User k represents a certain user k; h _d represents the direct link channel between the base station and the terminal, _fr represents the channel from the base station to the reflector, g represents the channel from the reflector to the user;

Combining with Figure 2, it can be seen that the signal transmitted by the base station may not be well received by the terminal due to the occlusion. If a smart reflector is deployed next to it, the parameters of the smart reflector can be controlled by the controller to reflect the signal well. in the terminal position.

In the design of the transmission scheme, since the smart reflector directly reflects the transmitted signal of the base station, in general, the precoding matrix and the reflector phase matrix are obtained simultaneously through the joint optimization of the base station precoding and the reflector phase adjustment matrix. Therefore, the base station needs to control the reflector, so as to configure the reflector to reflect the signal with an appropriate phase.

Similar to the smart reflector, it also has signal forwarding capability in the relay (Relay) and integrated access and backhaul (IAB, Integrated Access and Backhaul), and it can also be considered that the relay and IAB have user equipment (UE, User Equipment) function, the base station can control the Relay or IAB through the air interface. On the other hand, the Relay or IAB side, because of its own transmission capability, can calculate the precoding. If it has the function of the protocol stack, it can also realize dynamic scheduling and routing.

However, different from Relay and IAB, the smart reflector does not have the ability to actively transmit signals, in addition, it does not have the ability to estimate the channel and cannot calculate precoding; its low cost, low power consumption, and limited functional support for the protocol. Therefore, it is difficult to control the smart reflector.

Based on this, in the method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node receives target configuration information when it remains in a non-idle state; the target configuration information at least includes: phase, or phase and amplitude; correspondingly, the second node is configured for the first node Target configuration information of a node; the target configuration information at least includes: phase, or phase and amplitude; and the target configuration information is sent to the first node.

FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a method for configuring a node device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; as shown in FIG. 3 , the method is applied to a first node; the method includes:

Step 301: When maintaining the non-idle state, receive target configuration information; the target configuration information includes: phase; or, the target configuration information includes: phase and amplitude.

In some embodiments, the method may further include:

Step 302, based on the target configuration information, configure its own related parameters, such as configuring the phase, or configuring the phase and amplitude;

According to the configured phase, or phase and amplitude, the signal is reflected or the transmitted signal is forwarded.

In some embodiments, the first node has the function of reflecting signals or forwarding signals.

The first node may be a smart reflective plate, also called smart reflective surface, smart reflective surface, and Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS).

Specifically, the smart reflective plate can integrate a large number of reflective elements on the plane. By controlling the phase, or amplitude and phase of the reflective elements, the signals incident on the reflective elements can be reflected or forwarded (that is, the smart reflective plate is based on receiving phase, or received amplitude and phase, to achieve the function of reflected signal or forwarded signal).

In some embodiments, the receiving target configuration information includes:

In the target search space, only target configuration information corresponding to the target RNTI is detected, and information corresponding to other RNTIs except the target RNTI is not detected.

The receiving target configuration information may be: receiving target configuration information from the second node.

Among them, the target configuration information corresponding to the target RNTI is detected, including:

Detect downlink control information (DCI, Downlink Control Information) scrambled by the target RNTI; the DCI includes target configuration information.

Considering the first node (such as a smart reflector), it is necessary to detect whether it has received its corresponding configuration information when it is not in an idle state. In order to avoid detecting the configuration information of other smart reflectors, the search space and configuration information can be agreed here. .

Based on this, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

Send connection or registration information; the connection or registration information at least includes: the identification (ID, Identity document) of the first node;

The connection or registration result may further include: the target search space.

Here, the sending connection or registration information may be: sending the connection or registration information to the second node;

Correspondingly, receiving the connection or registration result may be: receiving the connection or registration result from the second node.

Here, the first node (such as a smart reflector) is regarded as a special terminal with a unique identifier. In this way, the smart reflector can agree with the second node on the target search space and target used by its unique identifier. RNTI.

Wherein, the search space is the time-frequency resource for the first node to search for the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH, Physical Downlink Control Channel);

The RNTI may be scrambling information for the target configuration information.

In this way, when the first node is in a non-idle state, in addition to detecting the configuration information of the cyclic redundancy check (CRC, Cyclic Redundancy Check) scrambling performed by the target RNTI in the target search space corresponding to itself, the first node no longer detects the Configuration information for other RNTIs to perform CRC scrambling. The search efficiency is improved, and configuration information receiving errors are avoided.

In some embodiments, the target configuration information further includes: an effective time of the target configuration information.

The effective time represents the corresponding phase, or the effective time of the phase and amplitude, which may be a period of time, or may be the effective start time and the effective end time.

The effective time may also be predetermined by the first node. For example, the effective time of each phase, or the phase and amplitude can be agreed with the second node. If the effective time is pre-agreed, the target configuration information may not include the effective time. .

Specifically, the DCI format in which the target RNTI corresponding to the first node performs CRC scrambling includes at least one DCI format, which is used to indicate the phase, or the phase and the amplitude, of the corresponding first node.

The DCI format may further include a phase, or an indication of the effective time of phase and amplitude. Phase, or the effective time indication of phase and amplitude, can also be a system convention.

Since the first node only needs to receive the PDCCH in the normal non-idle state, but does not transmit actual services, it may cause the data inactivity timer (DataInactivityTimer) to time out, and cause the first node to enter the idle (IDLE) state from the non-idle state , which makes the first node need to perform RRC connection re-establishment frequently, resulting in service interruption and increased power consumption. Therefore, for the first node, it is necessary to prohibit the connection state exit caused by the DataInactivityTimer timeout, that is, the first node. Radio Resource Control (RRC, Radio Resource Control) connection release due to no service transmission is not supported.

Here, the non-idle state includes a working state, an inactive state, and the like; the working state may include a connected state, and may also include a state where the first node is connected to the second node and can communicate with each other.

Based on this, after the first node enters the non-idle state, it will not return to the idle (IDLE) state. That is, for the first node, the configuration value of DataInactivityTimer is understood to be infinite regardless of the value; or the value of DataInactivityTimer is increased by a value of infinity, which is only valid for the smart reflector.

In this way, the first node only needs to monitor the PDCCH in the non-idle state to realize the dynamic control of the first node by the second node, and because there is no need to decode the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH, Physical Downlink Shared Channel), power consumption can be reduced; In addition, the first node will not fall back to the IDLE state, and there is no need to reestablish the RRC connection, thereby reducing service interruption and power consumption.

In one embodiment, the method further includes:

Stop the state transition timer; the state transition timer is used to time the duration of the non-idle state and convert the non-idle state to the idle state or the connection state to the inactive state based on the timing result.

The non-idle state may also be converted to other states based on the timing result, and the other states may be the state after the first node is disconnected from the second node, the state after the first node and the second node are disconnected from communication, etc. .

Wherein, the state transition timer may be the above-mentioned data inactivity timer.

It should be noted that, under special circumstances, if the second node wants the first node to enter the idle state, it can send a start instruction to restart the state transition timer or directly enter the idle state, and then hope that the first node can remain in the idle state. In the idle state, the stop command is sent again to stop the state transition timer, which is not limited here.

The second node above may be a base station; the base station may be a fourth generation mobile communication technology (4G, the 4th generation mobile communication technology) base station, a fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G, 5th generation mobile networks) base station, a sixth generation mobile communication technology (5G, 5th generation mobile networks) base station, Mobile communication technology (6G, th generation mobile networks) base stations, etc.;

The second node may also be other smart devices, and the other smart devices can communicate with the first node.

Correspondingly, an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a configuration method of a node device applied to the second node.

FIG. 4 is a schematic flowchart of a method for configuring a node device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; as shown in FIG. 4 , the method is applied to a second node, and the second node may be a base station, and the base station may be 4G base station, 5G base station, 6G base station, etc.; the second node may also be other smart devices that can communicate with the first node; the method includes:

Step 401, configure target configuration information for the first node; the target configuration information at least includes: phase, or phase and amplitude;

Step 402: Send the target configuration information to the first node.

The first node may be a smart reflector, also called a smart reflector, a smart reflector, or a reconfigurable smart surface (RIS).

In some embodiments, the sending the target configuration information to the first node includes:

Considering that the first node needs to detect whether it has received its corresponding configuration information when it is not in an idle state, in order to avoid detecting the configuration information of other smart reflectors, a search space and configuration information can be agreed upon here. The non-idle state includes a working state, an inactive state, and the like; the working state may include a connected state, and may also include a state where the first node is connected to the second node and can communicate with each other.

Based on this, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

Receive connection or registration information from the first node; the connection or registration information at least includes: an identification (ID) of the first node;

generating a connection or registration result for the first node;

The connection or registration result may also include the target search space.

That is, the first node (eg, the smart reflector) may agree with the second node (eg, the base station) on the target search space and target RNTI to be used through its own unique identifier.

The effective time may also be predetermined by the first node. For example, the effective time of each phase or phase and amplitude may be agreed with the base station. If the effective time is pre-agreed, the target configuration time may not include the effective time.

The base station may configure reflection parameters of one or more first nodes (the reflection parameters refer to the above-mentioned phase, or refer to phase and amplitude) through the above method, so as to realize control of one or more first nodes.

Considering that the phase of the first node, or, the phase and amplitude adjustment needs to be flexible and dynamic to match the dynamic user scheduling, the method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure (such as the methods shown in the above-mentioned FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 ), the second node through the dynamic The signaling downlink control information (DCI, Downlink Control Information) realizes the control of the first node, and the first node uses the pre-agreed RNTI to detect the DCI at a fixed position; the configuration content of the DCI at least includes the phase, or the phase and the amplitude, It may also include the effective time of the configuration content (ie the effective time of the phase, or the effective time of the phase and amplitude). In this way, the first node only needs to detect the corresponding DCI, and then the dynamic and flexible configuration of the phase or the phase and the amplitude can be realized.

FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a configuration method of a node device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; as shown in FIG. 5 , the node device has a function of forwarding a signal or reflecting a signal, and the node device may be a smart reflector; the following The configuration method is explained with the smart launch board. The method includes:

Step 501, initialization operation;

Specifically, the step 501 includes: network access authentication, initial access procedure, reporting a specific UE ID, and the base station configures a specific reflector RNTI.

Specifically, the smart reflector performs network access authentication, completes network registration through the initial access process, and reports its own UE ID (here, the smart reflector is regarded as a special kind of UE, corresponding to the UE ID as its own identity) to the The base station and the base station perform RRC connection configuration, and the smart reflector reports its own specific UE ID, so that the network side can identify the UE with this specific attribute, so as to configure a unique search space for the smart reflector (referred to as RIS-specific search space , the search space represents the time-frequency resources of the intelligent reflector to search for the PDCCH) and the unique RNTI (referred to as RIS-RNTI).

Step 502, configure a specific search space for the smart reflector; inform the smart reflector of the specific search space configured for the smart reflector;

Step 503, the base station configures reflection parameters for the intelligent reflection board, and sends the configured reflection parameters through the DCI scrambled by RIS-RNTI;

That is, the base station configures the reflection coefficient of the smart reflector and the corresponding usage time through the DCI format (format) scrambled by the RIS-RNTI.

Step 504: In a non-idle state, the smart reflector receives the DCI scrambled by the RIS-RNTI in a specific search space;

Wherein, the DCI format scrambled by the RIS-RNTI includes the reflection coefficient (including phase and amplitude) configured by the base station for the corresponding intelligent reflector, the corresponding use time of the reflection coefficient (equivalent to the above-mentioned effective time), and the like.

Specifically, after completing the search space configuration, the smart reflector enters the working state. Since the working position of the RIS is stable, the process of cell selection and reselection will not occur, and mobility-related measurements are not required; During the process, it is only necessary to adjust the phase based on the effective time according to the control parameters configured by the base station and the DCI received each time. It is not necessary to consider other search spaces other than the search space corresponding to the smart transmitter board. , from the perspective of reducing PDCCH monitor (PDCCH monitoring), the smart reflector only needs to monitor the PDCCH scrambled by RIS-RNTI in its specific search space.

Since the RIS only needs to receive the PDCCH in the normal working state without actual service transmission, it may cause the data inactivity timer (DataInactivityTimer) to time out and cause the RIS to enter the idle (IDLE) state from the non-idle state, which makes the data inactivity timer (DataInactivityTimer) timed out. RIS needs to perform RRC connection re-establishment frequently, resulting in service interruption and increased power consumption. Therefore, for RIS, it is necessary to prohibit RIS from exiting the connection state due to DataInactivityTimer timeout, and does not support RRC connection release due to no service transmission.

The above non-idle states include working states, inactive states, etc. The working states may include: connected states, and may also include states such as the smart reflector is connected to the base station and can communicate.

In one embodiment, the method further includes: Step 505, sending a logout request;

When the location of the smart reflector needs to be removed from the network due to deployment or other reasons, it still supports the RRC connection release process triggered by the upper layer; to request a withdrawal.
