具体实施方式
下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图,对本公开实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本公开一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
图1是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种能力获取方法的示意流程图。本实施例所示的能力获取方法可以适用于基站,所述基站包括但不限于4G基站、5G基站、6G基站等通信系统中的基站。所述基站可以与作为用户设备的终端进行通信,例如可以在毫米波频段通信,也可以在太赫兹频段通信,所述终端包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、可穿戴设备、传感器、物联网设备等通信装置。
在一个实施例中,所述终端可以是后续任一实施例所述能力上报方法所适用的终端。
在一个实施例中,在所述终端中可以设置有多个面板,不同面板可以设置在终端的不同位置。面板是指终端中的天线面板panel,终端可以使用天线面板进行通信。面板可以在多个波束上通信,每个波束的方向可以不同。
以下主要在多个面板包括第一面板和第二面板的情况下进行说明,第一面板和第二面板并非特指终端的中的某个面板,主要是指终端中任意不同的两个面板。
如图1所示,所述能力获取方法可以包括以下步骤:
在步骤S101中,获取终端的能力信息;
其中,所述能力信息用于指示所述终端是否具有多面板波束协同管理能力;所述多面板波束协同管理能力是指终端能够确定使用第一面板与基站通信时备用的第二面板。
在一个实施例中,终端可以上报能力信息,例如可以直接将能力信息上报给基站,也可以将能力信息上报给核心网,然后由核心网将能力信息发送给基站。例如终 端可以通过新增的信令携带所述能力信息上报给基站,也可以通过拓展已有信令来携带所述能力信息上报给基站,例如携带在codebookParameters信令中上报给基站。
在一个实施例中,若终端能够确定使用第一面板与基站通信时备用的第二面板,可以通过能力信息表明终端具有多面板波束协同管理能力。
在一个实施例中,在终端具有该能力的情况下,当终端使用第一面板与基站通信时,终端能够在第一面板以外的其他面板中,预测与基站通信质量满足要求的面板作为第二面板,从而在使用第一面板进行通信的通信质量不满足要求时,可以根据基站的指示(也可以自动)启用第二面板与基站通信,确保通信质量。
根据本公开的实施例,基站通过获取终端的能力信息,可以确定终端是否具有多面板波束协同管理能力。在终端具有该能力的情况下,就可以确定终端能够在使用第一面板与基站通信时,确定备用的第二面板,以便后续在与第一面板的通信质量不满足要求时,能够指示终端启用第二面板进行通信,使得终端能够快速地启动第二面板,而无需终端在所有面板中确定合适的面板。有利于终端快速启动合适的面板进行通信,降低通信时延,节约功耗。
在一个实施例中,所述能力信息可以占用1比特,例如通过1表示终端具有所述能力,通过0表示终端不具有所述能力。
在一个实施例中,所述能力信息还用于指示所述多面板波束协同管理能力所适用的面板。
在终端中可以设置有多个面板,终端所具有的多面板波束协同管理能力,可以适用于其中全部面板或者部分面板,也即终端能够确定使用第一面板与基站通信时备用的第二面板,其中第一面板和第二面板都属于该能力适用的面板。
在这种情况下,能力信息可以占用多比特,例如仍然通过1比特表示终端是否具有所述能力,而其他比特则可以指示该能力所适用的面板。例如终端中设置有4个面板,分别为面板1、面板2、面板3和面板4,终端具有所述能力,所述能力适用于其中面板1、面板2和面板4,那么能力信息可以占用5比特,例如为11101,第一个比特为1表示终端具有所述能力,第2、3和5个比特为1,表示能力适用于面板1、面板2和面板4,第4个比特为0,表示能力不适用于面板3。
在一个实施例中,所述能力信息还用于指示当前用于通信的面板的备用面板的标识信息。据此,可以使得基站准确确定终端中哪些面板可以作为当前通信的面板的 备用面板,进而后续基站在向终端发送第二请求时,可以通过第二请求明确地向终端请求所有备用的面板的信息,或者部分指定备用面板的信息。
在一个实施例中,所述多面板波束协同管理能力是指终端能够确定使用第一面板与基站通信时备用的第二面板,以及备用的第二波束。
终端具有所述能力,可以是指终端不仅能够确定第二面板,还可以确定备用的第二波束。由于终端在使用第二面板时,可以在多个波束上进行通信,因此终端在确定第二面板后,可以进一步在第二面板所能使用的多个波束中,确定通信指令满足要求的波束作为第二波束,从而在使用第一面板进行通信的通信质量不满足要求时,可以根据基站的指示(也可以自动)启用第二面板在第二波束上与基站通信,确保通信质量。
在一个实施例中,所述方法还包括:
在获取终端的能力信息之前,向所述终端发送第一请求,其中,所述第一请求用于请求获取所述能力信息。
基站在需要所述能力信息时,可以先向终端发送第一请求。根据第一请求终端可以确定基站需要获取所述能力信息,从而将所述能力信息上报给基站。
图2是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种能力获取方法的示意流程图。如图2所示,在一些实施例中,所述方法还包括:
在步骤S201中,响应于所述终端具有多面板波束协同管理能力,在与所述终端通过第一面板通信时,向所述终端发送第二请求,其中,所述第二请求用于请求获取所述第二面板的信息。
在一个实施例中,在终端具有所述能力的情况下,若终端当前与基站通信所使用的面板为第一面板,那么基站可以向终端发送第二请求,请求终端将第一面板备用的第二面板的信息上报至基站。
其中,第二面板的信息包括但不限于以下至少之一:
第二面板的标识(例如编号)、激活第二面板后使用第二面板通信的通信质量、第二波束的标识(例如索引index)、使用第二面板在第二波束上通信的通信质量等。其中,通信质量可以通过RSRP(Reference Signal Receiving Power,参考信号接收功率)、RSRQ(Reference Signal Receiving Quality,参考信号接收质量)等表征。
需要说明的是,多面板波束协同管理能力可以适用于终端中的多个面板,但是在使用第一面板与所述基站通信时,所确定备用的第二面板,可以只是所述多个面板中的部分面板,例如终端使用第一面板与基站通信时,终端所述多个面板中,预测的与基站通信质量满足要求的面板。
另外,终端也可以将第二面板的标识和/或第二波束的标识携带在能力信息中上报给终端,在第二面板的信息中则携带使用第二面板通信的通信质量和/或使用第二面板在第二波束上通信的通信质量。具体如何上报给终端,可以根据需要设置。
终端在接收到第二请求后,可以将第二面板的信息发送至基站,例如具体发送的是通过第二面板通信的第二通信质量,那么基站在确定终端使用第一面板通信的第一通信质量不满足要求(例如低于第一质量阈值)时,可以确定第二通信质量是否满足要求(例如高于第二质量阈值,第二质量阈值和第一质量阈值可以相等也可以不等,例如第二质量阈值可以大于第一质量阈值),若第二通信质量满足要求,则可以指示终端使用第二面板通信,确保通信指令。
在一个实施例中,所述响应于与所述终端通过第一面板通信,向所述终端发送第二请求包括:
响应于与所述终端通过第一面板通信,且所述通过所述第一面板通信的第一通信质量低于第一质量阈值,向所述终端发送所述第二请求。
基站可以在终端使用第一面板通信的第一通信质量不满足要求时,才向终端发送所述第二请求。其中,终端在使用第一面板通信时,可以将第一通信质量发送至基站。
由于第二请求用于请求第二面板的信息,而基站获取第二面板的信息,一般是为了确定使用第二面板通信是否能够满足通信质量要求,但是在第一通信面板的通信质量能够满足要求的情况下,基站可以不必考虑其他面板的通信质量,因此也就不必向终端发送第二请求,而仅在使用第一面板通信的通信质量不满足要求(例如低于第一质量阈值)时,才向终端发送第二请求,以减少不必要的通信,节约通信资源。
图3是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种能力获取方法的示意流程图。如图3所示,在一些实施例中,所述第二面板的信息包括所述终端通过第二面板通信的第二通信质量,所述方法还包括:
在步骤S301中,接收所述终端发送的所述第二通信质量;
在步骤S302中,响应于所述第二通信质量高于第二质量阈值,向所述终端发送第一指示,其中,所述第一指示用于指示所述终端使用所述第二面板与所述基站通信。

在一个实施例中,若存在多个第二波束,终端在使用第一面板通信时,每个第二波束都可以作为备用的第二面板的备用波束,在这种情况下,基站可以向终端发送第二请求。基于第二请求,终端可以按照第二波束的优先级由高到低确定使用第二面板在每个第二波束上通信的第二通信质量,并且每确定一次第二通信质量,将确定的第二通信质量发送至基站。
基站每接收到一次第二通信质量,可以确定第二通信指令是否满足要求,例如是否高于第二质量阈值,若接收到的第二通信质量高于第二质量阈值,可以确定这个高于第二质量阈值的第二通信质量对应的目标波束,终端使用第二面板在目标波束上通信可以满足通信质量要求。

在一个实施例中,若存在多个第二面板,终端在使用第一面板通信时,每个第二面板通信都可以作为第一面板的备用面板,在这种情况下,基站可以向终端发送第二请求。基于第二请求,终端可以按照第二面板的优先级由高到低确定使用第二面板通信的第二通信质量,并且每确定一次第二通信质量,将确定的第二通信质量发送至基站。
基站每接收到一次第二通信质量,可以确定第二通信指令是否满足要求,例如是否高于第二质量阈值,若接收到的第二通信质量高于第二质量阈值,可以确定这个高于第二质量阈值的第二通信质量对应的目标面板,终端使用目标面板通信可以满足通信质量要求。
进而可以向终端发送第一指示,基于第一指示,终端可以停止激活其他面板进 行,以避免继续确定通信质量而浪费资源,并使用所述目标面板通信,即可确保良好的通信质量。
图7是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种能力获取方法的示意流程图。如图7所示,在一些实施例中,响应于存在多个第二面板,所述第二面板的信息包括还所述多个第二面板的优先级,所述第二请求用于请求所述终端分别激活每个所述第二面板,以及向基站发送通过每个激活的第二面板通信的第二通信质量;
所述响应于所述第二通信质量高于第二质量阈值,向所述终端发送第一指示包括:
在步骤S701中,在接收到的多个第二通信质量中确定高于第二质量阈值,且对应的第二面板优先级最高的目标通信质量;
在步骤S702中,向所述终端发送第一指示,其中,所述第一指示用于指示所述终端使用所述目标通信质量对应的目标面板通信。
在一个实施例中,若存在多个第二面板,终端在使用第一面板通信时,每个第二面板通信都可以作为第一面板的备用面板,在这种情况下,基站可以向终端发送第二请求。基于第二请求,终端可以确定使用每个第二面板通信的第二通信质量,并将使用每个第二面板通信的第二通信质量发送给基站。例如分别激活每个第二面板并检测第二通信质量,在确定了使用每个第二面板通信的第二通信质量后,将所有第二通信质量发给基站。
基站接收到终端使用第二面板通信的通信质量后,可以在接收到的第二通信质量中确定高于第二阈值的第二通信质量,进而在高于第二阈值的第二通信质量中确定优先级最高的目标通信质量。
进而可以向终端发送第一指示,基于第一指示,终端使用所述目标通信质量对应的目标面板通信,即可确保良好的通信质量。
在一个实施例中,第二面板的优先级可以由终端根据需要设置,也可以由终端在第一面板以外的其他面板中,预测与基站通信质量满足要求的面板作为第二波束,然后预测使用每个第二面板与基站通信的通信质量,预测的通信质量越高,优先级越高。
在一个实施例中,通过第一指示去指示终端使用第二面板通信,包括但不限于以下两种情况:
情况一:所述第一指示用于指示所述终端从使用所述第一面板通信,切换到使用所述第二面板通信。也即第一指示用于指示终端切换面板,基于第一指示,终端可以停止使用第一面板与基站通信(例如关闭第一面板或者将第一面板用于其他功能),使用第二面板与基站通信。
情况二:所述第一指示用于指示所述终端使用所述第一面板和所述第二面板通信。也即第一指示用于指示终端使用第二面板与基站通信,而对于第一面板使用与否,可以由终端根据需要决定,例如终端可以既使用第一面板,又使用第二面板与基站通信。
在一个实施例中,所述响应于所述第二通信质量高于第二质量阈值,向所述终端发送第一指示包括:
响应于所述第二通信质量高于第二质量阈值,且所述终端待传输数据的数据量大于数据量阈值,向所述终端发送所述第一指示。
基站向终端发送第一指示,除了考虑第二通信质量是否高于第二质量阈值,还可以考虑终端待传输数据的数据量,如果终端待传输数据的数据量较少,例如小于数据量阈值,在这种情况下,虽然使用第一面板来完成待传输数据的通信可能通信质量欠佳,但是由于待传输数据较少,并不会对整体通信质量造成太大影响。而如果向终端发送第一指示使得终端使用第二面板与基站通信,会造成较多的通信资源消耗,得不偿失,因此可以不必向终端发送第一指示,而仅在传输数据的数据量较多,例如大于数据量阈值时,才向终端发送第一指示。
图8是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种能力上报方法的示意流程图。本实施例所示的能力上报方法可以适用于终端,所述终端包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、可穿戴设备、传感器、物联网设备等通信装置。所述终端可以作为用户设备与基站通信,所述基站包括但不限于4G基站、5G基站、6G基站等通信系统中的基站。
在一个实施例中,所述基站可以是上述任一实施例所述的能力获取方法所适用的基站。
在一个实施例中,在所述终端中可以设置有多个面板,不同面板可以设置在终端的不同位置。面板是指终端中的天线面板panel,终端可以使用天线面板进行通信。面板可以在多个波束上通信,每个波束的方向可以不同。
以下主要在多个面板包括第一面板和第二面板的情况下进行说明,第一面板和 第二面板并非特指终端的中的某个面板,主要是指终端中任意不同的两个面板。
如图8所示,所述能力上报方法可以包括以下步骤:
在步骤S801中,向基站发送能力信息;
其中,所述能力信息用于指示所述终端是否具有多面板波束协同管理能力;所述多面板波束协同管理能力是指终端能够确定使用第一面板与基站通信时备用的第二面板。
在一个实施例中,终端可以上报能力信息,例如可以直接将能力信息上报给基站,也可以将能力信息上报给核心网,然后由核心网将能力信息发送给基站。例如终端可以通过新增的信令携带所述能力信息上报给基站,也可以通过拓展已有信令来携带所述能力信息上报给基站,例如携带在codebookParameters信令中上报给基站。
在一个实施例中,若终端能够确定使用第一面板与基站通信时备用的第二面板,可以通过能力信息表明终端具有多面板波束协同管理能力。
在一个实施例中,在终端具有该能力的情况下,当终端使用第一面板与基站通信时,终端能够在第一面板以外的其他面板中,预测与基站通信质量满足要求的面板作为第二面板,从而在使用第一面板进行通信的通信质量不满足要求时,可以根据基站的指示(也可以自动)启用第二面板与基站通信,确保通信质量。
根据本公开的实施例,基站通过获取终端的能力信息,可以确定终端是否具有多面板波束协同管理能力。在终端具有该能力的情况下,就可以确定终端能够在使用第一面板与基站通信时,确定备用的第二面板,以便后续在与第一面板的通信质量不满足要求时,能够指示终端启用第二面板进行通信,使得终端能够快速地启动第二面板,而无需终端在所有面板中确定合适的面板。有利于终端快速启动合适的面板进行通信,降低通信时延,节约功耗。
在一个实施例中,所述能力信息可以占用1比特,例如通过1表示终端具有所述能力,通过0表示终端不具有所述能力。
在一个实施例中,所述能力信息还用于指示所述多面板波束协同管理能力所适用的面板。
在终端中可以设置有多个面板,终端所具有的多面板波束协同管理能力,可以适用于其中全部面板或者部分面板,也即终端能够确定使用第一面板与基站通信时备 用的第二面板,其中第一面板和第二面板都属于该能力适用的面板。
在这种情况下,能力信息可以占用多比特,例如仍然通过1比特表示终端是否具有所述能力,而其他比特则可以指示该能力所适用的面板。例如终端中设置有4个面板,分别为面板1、面板2、面板3和面板4,终端具有所述能力,所述能力适用于其中面板1、面板2和面板4,那么能力信息可以占用5比特,例如为11101,第一个比特为1表示终端具有所述能力,第2、3和5个比特为1,表示能力适用于面板1、面板2和面板4,第4个比特为0,表示能力不适用于面板3。
在一个实施例中,所述能力信息还用于指示当前用于通信的面板的备用面板的标识信息。据此,可以使得基站准确确定终端中哪些面板可以作为当前通信的面板的备用面板,进而后续基站在向终端发送第二请求时,可以通过第二请求明确地向终端请求所有备用的面板的信息,或者部分指定备用面板的信息。
在一个实施例中,所述多面板波束协同管理能力是指终端能够确定使用第一面板与基站通信时备用的第二面板,以及备用的第二波束。
终端具有所述能力,可以是指终端不仅能够确定第二面板,还可以确定备用的第二波束。由于终端在使用第二面板时,可以在多个波束上进行通信,因此终端在确定第二面板后,可以进一步在第二面板所能使用的多个波束中,确定通信指令满足要求的波束作为第二波束,从而在使用第一面板进行通信的通信质量不满足要求时,可以根据基站的指示(也可以自动)启用第二面板在第二波束上与基站通信,确保通信质量。
在一个实施例中,所述向基站发送能力信息包括:
响应于接收到所述基站发送的第一请求,向所述基站发送能力信息,其中,所述第一请求用于请求获取所述能力信息。
基站在需要所述能力信息时,可以先向终端发送第一请求。根据第一请求终端可以确定基站需要获取所述能力信息,从而将所述能力信息上报给基站。
图9是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种能力上报方法的示意流程图。如图9所示,在一些实施例中,所述方法还包括:
在步骤S901中,响应于通过第一面板通信时,接收到所述基站发送的第二请求,向所述基站发送所述第二面板的信息,其中,所述第二请求用于请求获取所述第二面板的信息。
在一个实施例中,在终端具有所述能力的情况下,若终端当前与基站通信所使用的面板为第一面板,那么基站可以向终端发送第二请求,请求终端将第一面板备用的第二面板的信息上报至基站。
其中,第二面板的信息包括但不限于以下至少之一:
第二面板的标识(例如编号)、激活第二面板后使用第二面板通信的通信质量、第二波束的标识(例如索引index)、使用第二面板在第二波束上通信的通信质量等。其中,通信质量可以通过RSRP、RSRQ等表征。
终端在接收到第二请求后,可以将第二面板的信息发送至基站,例如具体发送的是通过第二面板通信的第二通信质量,那么基站在确定终端使用第一面板通信的第一通信质量不满足要求(例如低于第一质量阈值)时,可以确定第二通信质量是否满足要求(例如高于第二质量阈值,第二质量阈值和第一质量阈值可以相等也可以不等,例如第二质量阈值可以大于第一质量阈值),若第二通信质量满足要求,则可以指示终端使用第二面板通信,确保通信指令。
图10是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种能力上报方法的示意流程图。如图10所示,在一些实施例中,所述第二请求用于请求所述终端激活所述第二面板;以及向所述基站发送通过所述第二面板通信的第二通信质量,所述方法还包括:
在步骤S1001中,向所述基站发送所述第二通信质量;
在步骤S1002中,接收所述基站发送的第一指示,其中,所述第一指示用于指示所述终端使用所述第二面板通信;
在步骤S1003中,使用所述第二面板通信。
在一个实施例中,终端在接收到第二请求后,可以将第二通信质量发送至基站。基站接收到第二通信质量后,在第二通信质量满足要求(例如高于第二质量阈值),且终端使用第一通信质量不满足要求(例如低于第一质量阈值)时,可以向终端发送第一指示,以指示终端使用所述第二面板与所述基站通信,从而确保良好的通信质量。
图11是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种能力上报方法的示意流程图。如图11所示,在一些实施例中,所述多面板波束协同管理能力是指终端能够确定使用第一面板与基站通信时备用的第二面板,以及备用的第二波束;
响应于存在多个第二波束,所述第二面板的信息还包括所述多个第二波束的优 先级,所述第二请求用于请求所述终端按照优先级由高到低确定在每个所述第二波束上通信的第二通信质量,且每确定一次第二通信质量,将确定的第二通信质量发送至基站,所述第一指示用于指示所述终端停止确定在其他第二波束上通信的第二通信质量,使用所述第二面板在目标波束上通信,所述目标波束为所述基站接收到的第二通信质量中高于第二质量阈值的第二通信质量对应的波束;
所述向所述基站发送所述第二通信质量包括:
在步骤S1101中,按照优先级由高到低确定在每个所述第二波束上通信的第二通信质量,且每确定一次第二通信质量,将确定的第二通信质量发送至基站,并在接收到所述第一指示后,停止确定在其他第二波束上通信的第二通信质量。
在一个实施例中,若存在多个第二波束,说明终端使用第二面板在每个第二波束上通信的质量效果都较好,在这种情况下,基站可以向终端发送第二请求。基于第二请求,终端可以按照第二波束的优先级由高到低确定使用第二面板在每个第二波束上通信的第二通信质量,并且每确定一次第二通信质量,将确定的第二通信质量发送至基站。
基站每接收到一次第二通信质量,可以确定第二通信指令是否满足要求,例如是否高于第二质量阈值,若接收到的第二通信质量高于第二质量阈值,可以确定这个高于第二质量阈值的第二通信质量对应的目标波束,终端使用第二面板在目标波束上通信可以满足通信质量要求。
进而可以向终端发送第一指示,基于第一指示,终端可以停止确定在其他第二波束上通信的第二通信质量,以避免继续确定通信质量而浪费资源,并使用所述第二面板在所述目标波束上通信,即可确保良好的通信质量。
图12是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种能力上报方法的示意流程图。如图12所示,在一些实施例中,所述多面板波束协同管理能力是指终端能够确定使用第一面板与基站通信时备用的第二面板,以及备用的第二波束;
响应于存在多个第二波束,所述第二面板的信息还包括所述多个第二波束的优先级,所述第二请求用于请求所述终端确定在每个所述第二波束上通信的第二通信质量,以及向基站发送在每个所述第二波束上通信的第二通信质量,所述第一指示用于指示所述终端使用所述第二面板在目标通信质量对应的目标波束上通信,所述目标通信质量为所述基站接收到的多个第二通信质量中确定高于第二质量阈值,且对应的第 二波束优先级最高的通信质量;
所述向所述基站发送所述第二通信质量包括:
在步骤S1201中,确定在每个所述第二波束上通信的第二通信质量,向基站发送在每个所述第二波束上通信的第二通信质量。
在一个实施例中,若存在多个第二波束,终端在使用第一面板通信时,每个第二波束都可以作为备用的第二面板的备用波束,在这种情况下,基站可以向终端发送第二请求。基于第二请求,终端可以确定在每个所述第二波束上通信的第二通信质量,并将在每个所述第二波束上通信的第二通信质量发送给基站。例如激活第二面板后在每个第二波束上分别检测第二通信质量,在使用第二面板在所有第二波束上都检测了第二通信质量后,将所有第二通信质量发给基站。
基站接收到终端使用第二面板在每个第二波束上通信的通信质量后,可以在接收到的第二通信质量中确定高于第二阈值的第二通信质量,进而在高于第二阈值的第二通信质量中确定优先级最高的目标通信质量。
进而可以向终端发送第一指示,基于第一指示,终端使用所述第二面板在目标通信质量对应的目标波束上通信,即可确保良好的通信质量。
在一个实施例中,第二波束的优先级可以由终端根据需要设置,也可以由终端在第二面板能够使用的所有波束中,预测与基站通信质量满足要求的波束作为第二波束,然后预测使用每个第二波束与基站通信的通信质量,预测的通信质量越高,优先级越高。
在一个实施例中,终端确定第二面板、第二波束的方式可以根据需要设置,例如包括但不限于以下三种方式:
方式一:根据所述终端中所述能力适用的面板的位置以及当前通信所在波束(例如基站发出的波束)的方向确定所述第二面板和/或所述第二波束。
在一个实施例中,针对终端中所述能力适用的面板,终端可以在其中确定使用第一面板与基站通信时,备用的第二面板,还可以进一步确定使用第二面板通信所在的第二波束。
例如在终端中所述能力适用的面板中包含面板A,当前通信所在波束的方向指向第一面板与面板A之间,并且面板A与第一面板的距离足够接近(例如小于距离阈 值),那么一般情况下,使用面板A与基站通信和使用第一面板与基站通信,通信质量会存在差异,但是差异不会过大。而基站与第一面板通信的通信质量一般是渐变的,而非突变的,所以在使用第一面板与基站通信的通信质量不满足要求时,由于使用面板A与基站通信的通信质量和使用第一面板与基站通信的通信质量差异不大,因此可能会满足要求,从而可以确定面板A为第二面板。
在确定第二面板后,还可以进一步确定第二波束,例如在第二面板所能使用的波束中,确定与当前通信所在波束之间夹角较小(例如小于角度阈值)的波束作为第二波束。
方式二:根据当前通信所在波束(例如基站发出的波束)的方向以及当前通信的路损信息确定所述基站的位置;根据所述终端中所述能力适用的面板的位置和所述基站的位置确定所述第二面板和/或所述第二波束。
方式三:根据定位信息确定所述基站的位置;根据所述终端中所述能力适用的面板的位置和所述基站的位置确定所述第二面板和/或所述第二波束。
方式二和方式三的整体逻辑类似,都是先确定基站的位置,然后根据能力适用的面板的位置和基站位置来确定第二面板、第二波束。区别主要在确定基站位置的方式。
方式二可以先确定当前通信的路损信息(pathloss),路损信息越大,基站与第一面板距离预远,路损信息越小,基站与第一面板距离越近,根据路损信息可以确定出基站到第一面板的距离。进而根据当前通信所在波束的方向,可以确定基站相对于第一面板的角度。进而根据得到的距离和角度,即可以极坐标的方式确定出基站的位置。
方式三则是直接根据定位信息确定基站的位置,定位信息可以是终端根据定位系统确定的自身的位置,基于该位置可以逆推得到基站的位置;或者定位信息可以是基站根据定位系统确定的自身的位置,那么基站可以将确定的位置发送给终端。
在确定基站的位置后,就可以根据所述能力适用的面板的位置和基站的位置,来确定第二面板、第二波束等内容。
例如在终端中所述能力适用的面板中包含面板B,根据基站的位置和第一面板以及面板B的位置,可以确定基站到第一面板的连线,与基站到面板B的连线的夹角,若该夹角满足要求(例如小于角度阈值),并且面板B与第一面板的距离足够接近(例 如小于距离阈值),那么一般情况下,使用面板B与基站通信和使用第一面板与基站通信,通信质量会存在差异,但是差异不会过大。而基站与第一面板通信的通信质量一般是渐变的,而非突变的,所以在使用第一面板与基站通信的通信质量不满足要求时,由于使用面板B与基站通信的通信质量和使用第一面板与基站通信的通信质量差异不大,因此可能会满足要求,从而可以确定面板B为第二面板。
在确定第二面板后,还可以进一步确定第二波束,例如在第二面板所能使用的波束中,确定与当前通信所在波束之间夹角较小(例如小于角度阈值)的波束作为第二波束。
图13是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种确定第二波束的示意图。
如图13所示,例如终端具有多面板波束协同管理能力,多面板波束协同管理能力是指终端能够确定使用第一面板与基站通信时备用的第二面板,以及备用的第二波束。
例如确定的第二面板如图13所示,位于终端的左侧边框。若确定的基站位置在位置1,基站与终端的第一面板通信时所使用的波束,与第二面板的波束a夹角小于角度阈值,则可以确定波束a为第二波束;若确定的基站位置在位置2,基站与终端的第一面板通信时所使用的波束,与第二面板的波束b夹角小于角度阈值,则可以确定波束b为第二波束。
图14是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种能力上报方法的示意流程图。如图14所示,在一些实施例中,响应于存在多个第二面板,所述第二面板的信息包括还所述多个第二面板的优先级,所述第二请求用于请求所述终端按照优先级由高到低确定依次激活所述多个第二面板,且每激活一个第二面板,向基站发送通过激活的第二面板通信的第二通信质量,所述第一指示用于指示所述终端停止激活第二面板,使用所述目标面板与所述基站通信;
所述向所述基站发送所述第二通信质量包括:
在步骤S1401中,按照优先级由高到低确定依次激活所述多个第二面板,且每激活一个第二面板,向基站发送通过激活的第二面板通信的第二通信质量,并在接收到所述第一指示后停止激活第二面板。
在一个实施例中,若存在多个第二面板,终端在使用第一面板通信时,每个第二面板通信都可以作为第一面板的备用面板,在这种情况下,基站可以向终端发送第 二请求。基于第二请求,终端可以按照第二面板的优先级由高到低确定使用第二面板通信的第二通信质量,并且每确定一次第二通信质量,将确定的第二通信质量发送至基站。
基站每接收到一次第二通信质量,可以确定第二通信指令是否满足要求,例如是否高于第二质量阈值,若接收到的第二通信质量高于第二质量阈值,可以确定这个高于第二质量阈值的第二通信质量对应的目标面板,终端使用目标面板通信可以满足通信质量要求。
进而可以向终端发送第一指示,基于第一指示,终端可以停止激活其他面板进行,以避免继续确定通信质量而浪费资源,并使用所述目标面板通信,即可确保良好的通信质量。

在步骤S1501中,分别激活每个所述第二面板,向基站发送通过每个激活的第二面板通信的第二通信质量。
在一个实施例中,若存在多个第二面板,终端在使用第一面板通信时,每个第二面板通信都可以作为第一面板的备用面板,在这种情况下,基站可以向终端发送第二请求。基于第二请求,终端可以确定使用每个第二面板通信的第二通信质量,并将使用每个第二面板通信的第二通信质量发送给基站。例如分别激活每个第二面板并检测第二通信质量,在确定了使用每个第二面板通信的第二通信质量后,将所有第二通信质量发给基站。
基站接收到终端使用第二面板通信的通信质量后,可以在接收到的第二通信质量中确定高于第二阈值的第二通信质量,进而在高于第二阈值的第二通信质量中确定优先级最高的目标通信质量。
进而可以向终端发送第一指示,基于第一指示,终端使用所述目标通信质量对应的目标面板通信,即可确保良好的通信质量。
在一个实施例中,第二面板的优先级可以由终端根据需要设置,也可以由终端在第一面板以外的其他面板中,预测与基站通信质量满足要求的面板作为第二波束,然后预测使用每个第二面板与基站通信的通信质量,预测的通信质量越高,优先级越高。
在一个实施例中,通过第一指示去指示终端使用第二面板通信,包括但不限于以下两种情况:所述第一指示用于指示所述终端从使用所述第一面板通信,切换到使用所述第二面板通信;以及所述第一指示用于指示所述终端使用所述第一面板和所述第二面板通信。针对这两种情况,终端执行的动作也有所不同。
