[0036] Before setting forth this embodiment, the existing solutions and existing problems are described below:

[0037] The solution given by the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project, Third Generation Partnership Project) standard organization is to pass the wide beam of SS (Synchronization Signal, synchronization signal) / PBCH (Physical Broadcast Channel, physical broadcast channel) block (block) Reference attached figure 2 shown) repeated transmission (up to 8 times) or narrow beam (please refer to the attached image 3 shown) to enhance downlink coverage.

[0038] In the time domain, one SS / PBCH block is composed of four OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols, and the symbols in the SS / PBCH block are numbered from 0 to 3 in increasing order, where PSS (Primary Synchronization Signal (Primary Synchronization Signal), SSS (Secondary Synchronization Signal, Secondary Synchronization Signal), PBCH, and DM-RS (...

[0082] Such as Figure 11 As shown, the second embodiment of the present invention provides a downlink coverage enhancement device, which includes a sending module 21, a steering vector estimation module 22, a determination module 23, and a beam control module 24;

[0083] The sending module 21 is configured to use multiple narrow beams to send the synchronization signal physical broadcast channel resource block SS / PBCH Block; wherein, the multiple narrow beams use different narrow beam weights.

[0084] In this embodiment, multiple SS / PBCH blocks can be sent within 10 ms according to 3GPP38.211. Assuming that PSS / PBCH blocks are sent, the 120° sector can be divided into N sectors. In order to achieve the effect of enhancing coverage, the The original wide beam is converted into a narrow beam for transmission, and the 120° sector can be divided into N parts on average, and N groups of different weights are used to record it as [BC 1 BC 2 …BC N ] 1xN to send. The coverage ...

[0136] Such as Figure 16As shown, the third embodiment of the present invention provides a downlink coverage enhancement device, which includes: a memory 31, a processor 32, and a downlink coverage enhancement method stored in the memory 31 and operable on the processor 32. Program, when the downlink coverage enhancement program is executed by the processor 32, it is used to realize the steps of the downlink coverage enhancement method described below:

[0137] Using multiple narrow beams to send the synchronization signal physical broadcast channel resource block SS / PBCH Block; wherein, the multiple narrow beams use different narrow beam weights;

[0138] Estimating the steering vector based on the uplink channel of the terminal to obtain a unit steering vector;

[0139] determining the narrow beam position where the terminal is located according to the unit steering vector;

[0140] Control the downlink physical channel and data of the terminal according to the narrow bea...

Abstract

The invention discloses a downlink coverage enhancement method, device and equipment, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method includes the steps of: using multiple narrow beams to send SS / PBCH Block; performing steering vector estimation based on the uplink channel of the terminal to obtain a unit steering vector ; Determine the narrow beam position of the terminal; Control the downlink physical channel and data of the terminal. The present invention sends SS / PBCH Block through multiple narrow beams and different narrow beam weights, and calculates and determines the narrow beam position of the terminal; it can achieve the effect of coverage enhancement without increasing signaling overhead; simplifies The calculation of the terminal position can determine the beam more quickly and efficiently; that is, the coverage radius of 5G is improved, and there is no burden on the system delay.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular to a downlink coverage enhancement method, device and equipment, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background technique [0002] In the 5G (5th-Generation, fifth-generation mobile communication) communication system, it is clearly stated that 5G needs to achieve low latency and high reliability. Such as figure 1 As shown, since the loss of wireless electromagnetic waves propagating in the air increases with the increase of frequency, and the frequency of 5G is higher than that of 2G / 3G and LTE, the coverage radius will inevitably become smaller. [0003] For 5G communication systems, the reduction of the coverage radius will lead to a decrease in the spectral efficiency of the base station, and operators need more base stations to achieve the same coverage radius, which will greatly increase the equipment cost and maintenance cost of the operator, affecti...
