Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to the field of wireless communications, and more particularly to an electronic device for wireless communications, a wireless communication method, and a computer-readable medium. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing application of mobile Internet services, the massive use of terminal devices such as smart phones and tablets, and the rapid growth of mobile data services, the shortage of wireless spectrum resources has been further aggravated. In order to improve the utilization rate of spectrum resources, one spectrum management mode is to change the spectrum monopoly to spectrum sharing. To this end, the spectrum can be divided into multiple frequency resource blocks (Frequency resource blocks). While ensuring that there is no impact on the original business system, it is also necessary to ensure that different levels of wireless services form effective sharing to improve the efficiency of spectrum utilization.

[0003] For example, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States has proposed a three-tier mobile access point authorization and interference management mechanism for managing and using the 3.5 GHz band, which includes a dynamic database with geographic information and a spectrum access system for managing potential interference. Figure 5 The example structure of the system is shown, including FCC database, spectrum access system (Spectrum Access System, SAS), domain proxy (Domain Proxy), element management system (Element Management System, EMS) (optional), Citizens Broadband Radio Service Device (Citizens Broadband Radio Service Device, CBSD), interfaces between SAS, and interfaces between SAS and users. In addition, the system diagram also shows the processing of notifying authorized users (Informing Incumbent), authorized user detection (Incumbent Detection) (Environmental Sensing Capability (ESC)), CBSD sensing (optional), etc. Summary of the invention

[0004] The inventors of the present invention realize that with the rapid changes in the mobility of mobile access points and service requirements, a large amount of overhead will be incurred on the spectrum access system (SAS), so a method for reducing the overhead of the spectrum access system is needed. In addition, traditional overhead control technologies lack consideration of the behavioral characteristics and tendencies of mobile access points and their impact on system overhead.

[0027] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Elements and features described in one drawing or one embodiment of the present invention may be combined with elements and features shown in one or more other drawings or embodiments. It should be noted that for the purpose of clarity, the representation and description of components and processes that are not related to the present invention and are known to those of ordinary skill in the art are omitted in the drawings and descriptions.

[0028] Before describing this embodiment in detail, first refer to Figure 6 The application scenario of this embodiment is briefly described with examples.

[0029] exist Figure 6In the example scenario shown, wireless access points (Radio Access Points) located in different locations are shown, such as a civil broadband wireless service device (CBSD), a user equipment (UE) (for example, which may include an incumbent access user, a priority access (PAL) user, and a general authorized access (GAA) user), and a spectrum management device (for example, a coexistence manager (CxM) or a spectrum access system (SAS) device).

[0030] In addition, the system can record the historical behavior of mobile access points. Due to the mobility of mobile access points and the change of spectrum demand, they will frequently access different SAS databases to query available spectrum, which will bring a lot of system overhead.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device 100 for wireless communication according to this embodiment includes a processing circuit 110. The processing circuit 110 may be implemented as, for example, a specific chip, a chipset, or a central processing unit (CPU).

[0032] The processing circuit 110 includes an acquisition unit 111 and a determination unit 113. It should be noted that although the acquisition unit 111 and the determination unit 113 are shown in the form of functional blocks in the drawings, it should be understood that the functions of these units can also be implemented by the processing circuit 110 as a whole, and not necessarily by discrete actual components in the processing circuit 110. In addition, although the processing circuit 110 is shown as a block in the figure, the electronic device 100 may include multiple processing circuits, and the functions of the acquisition unit 111 and the determination unit 113 may be distributed to multiple processing circuits, so that the multiple processing circuits operate in coordination to perform these functions.

[0033] The electronic device according to this embodiment may be implemented on a spectrum management device side, or may be implemented on a mobile access point side, for example.

[0034] As an example, the spectrum management device may include a CxM or a device located at the SAS side. In addition, the mobile access point may include a CBSD or a UE, for example.

[0035] The acquiring unit 111 is configured to acquire parameters related to the behavior characteristics of the mobile access point.

[0036] The determining unit 113 is configured to determine a spectrum allocation mode for the mobile access point based on the parameters acquired by the acquiring unit 111. According to an embodiment, the determining unit 113 may also be configured to determine an access mode to the spectrum access system based on the parameters acquired by the acquiring unit 111.

[0037] The parameters acquired by the acquisition unit 111 may be determined based on one or more of the following information of the mobile access point: identification (ID), location, moving speed, time of spectrum request, and data flow in a period between spectrum requests. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0038] As an example, the parameters related to the behavior characteristics of the mobile access point may include parameters related to the mobility of the mobile access point.

[0039] More specifically, the parameters related to mobility may include normalized eigenvalues ​​of a transfer matrix of a mobile access point, wherein elements of the transfer matrix correspond to probabilities of the mobile access point transferring between corresponding spectrum management devices.

[0040] Next, parameters related to the mobility of a mobile access point and methods for obtaining the parameters are described with reference to specific examples.

[0041] Assume that there are m SAS databases and n spectrum management devices (such as CxM) in a certain area. When a mobile access point (CBSD) moves between CxM management areas, it can record the spectrum management device (CxM and SAS) to which it belongs at different times, and use this to establish the position transfer probability matrix of the CBSD between CxM and SAS. This process can be completed on the CBSD side, so as not to bring new overhead to the SAS system.

[0042] For example, the position transfer probability matrix can be calculated in the following way: according to the historical position of the CBSD at this moment, the probability of the CBSD appearing in the corresponding CxM and SAS at this moment is calculated, and then according to the historical position of the CBSD at the next moment, the transfer probability is calculated, so that the transfer probability matrix at this moment can be obtained, for example, as shown in the following formula (1).

[0043]

[0044] Where P A (t) represents the transfer matrix, and the element P in the matrix ij represents the probability of the mobile access point transferring between spectrum management device i and spectrum management device j, and t represents the time.

[0045] In particular, in order to obtain the transition probability matrix of CBSD between SASs, the transitions of CBSD between different CxMs in the same SAS can be merged as appropriate, or the transition probabilities of CBSD between CxMs in the same SAS can be placed in adjacent positions and summed according to the SAS corresponding to CxM when necessary. In this way, the transfer information of CBSD between SASs and the transfer information of CBSD between CxMs can be retained.

[0046] After obtaining the transfer matrix, the normalized eigenvalues ​​can be calculated as follows:

[0047] Let the matrix P A The eigenvalues ​​of (t) are {λ1,λ2,...,λ n}, then the sum of its normalized eigenvalues ​​S is:

[0048]

[0049] Among them, max{} means taking the maximum value.

[0050] The integer part of the parameter S can be considered as the number of CxMs most frequently visited by the mobile access point. In addition, the eigenvalue vector itself can reflect the intensity of the mobile access point's visit to the corresponding CxM.

[0051] In addition, the characteristic values ​​of CxMs belonging to the same SAS may be calculated to obtain corresponding parameters, which respectively represent the number of most frequently accessed SASs and the intensity of access to the corresponding SASs.

[0052] Furthermore, considering that the mobile access points have different mobility characteristics in different time periods, such as holidays and working days, parameters related to mobility, such as transfer matrices, may also be determined for different time periods.

[0053] Accordingly, according to one embodiment, the acquisition unit 111 may be configured to respectively acquire the above parameters for different time periods, and the determination unit 113 may be configured to determine the access mode and / or spectrum allocation mode of the mobile access point within the target time period based on the parameters corresponding to the corresponding time period.

[0054] Specifically, in the historical records of the location of the CBSD, different flag bits may be used to distinguish historical periods such as holidays and working days when the behaviors of the mobile access points are greatly different. Accordingly, respective transfer matrices may be determined for different periods. As an example but not a limitation, the above-mentioned different periods may include: different periods of a day (e.g., daytime or night, or morning, morning, noon, afternoon, evening, night, and midnight, etc., or periods divided into hours or finer granularity); corresponding days of the week (e.g., Monday, Tuesday, ... Saturday and Sunday); working days (Monday to Friday) or rest days (weekends, holidays, etc.).

[0055] It should be understood that the parameters related to the mobility of the mobile access point in the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the above examples.

[0056] As another example, the parameter related to the behavior characteristics of the mobile access point may include a parameter related to how fast the spectrum bandwidth used by the mobile access point changes.

[0057] More specifically, the parameter related to the speed of change may include a shape parameter of the probability distribution of the service demand of the mobile access point. As an example but not a limitation, the above probability distribution may include a generalized Pareto distribution (GPD).

[0058] Figure 8 The probability distribution function of the generalized Pareto distribution under different parameter values ​​is shown. The generalized Pareto distribution under different parameter values ​​can be, for example, heavy-tailed or light-tailed. Figure 8 The generalized Pareto distribution can be either light-tailed or heavy-tailed. The parameters of the generalized Pareto distribution include the location parameter μ, the scale parameter σ, and the shape parameter ξ. Since the location parameters need to be consistent in order for the curves to be together, Figure 8 Only the effects of the scale parameter σ and the shape parameter ξ are shown. Figure 8 The vertical axis of the probability density function is the probability value without unit, and the horizontal axis is the value range of the random variable, that is, the value range of the sample value after sampling, which may be unitless. In practical applications, the horizontal axis may correspond to the size of the data packet generated by the CBSD per unit time, for example, in Mib (megabyte).

[0059] Next, an example of a method for calculating a shape parameter (ξ) representing how fast or slow the traffic flow changes will be described.

[0060] Assume that in the historical record data, the sample size of the business data flow size is n, {x1, x2, x3, ..., x n} is the order statistic of the corresponding data flow, then:

[0061]

[0062]

[0063] First, the smallest sample x1 is selected as the value of the location parameter μ, and then the remaining scale parameter σ and shape parameter ξ can be determined. In addition, when the sample size is small, in order to improve the reliability of the estimated location parameter μ, the location parameter μ can be re-estimated after the scale parameter σ and shape parameter ξ are determined, so that a stable parameter value can be obtained by iteration. The shape parameter ξ can reflect the speed of business traffic change.

[0064] It should be noted that the parameters related to the speed of change of the spectrum bandwidth used by the mobile access point and the calculation method thereof in the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the above examples.

[0065] In the case where the parameters include parameters related to the speed of change of the service flow, according to an embodiment, the determination unit 113 may be configured to: for a mobile access point whose stability of data flow change is higher than a predetermined level, reduce the frequency of access to the spectrum access system. Thus, the number of accesses to the SAS may be reduced.

[0066] The above describes an example embodiment in which the determining unit 113 determines the access mode to the spectrum access system based on the parameters acquired by the acquiring unit 111. In addition, the determining unit 113 may also determine the spectrum allocation mode for the mobile access point based on the parameters acquired by the acquiring unit 111.

[0067] According to one embodiment, the determining unit 113 may be configured to: determine the similarity between the first mobile access point and the second mobile access point based on the parameters for the first mobile access point and the parameters of the second mobile access point acquired by the acquiring unit 111; and when the determined similarity is higher than a predetermined level, determine the spectrum allocation scheme of the other of the first mobile access point and the second mobile access point according to a previously determined spectrum allocation scheme of one of the first mobile access point and the second mobile access point.

[0068] In other words, the spectrum allocation scheme of the target mobile access point can be determined by referring to the spectrum allocation scheme of another mobile access point similar to the target mobile access point. Thus, the overhead of the SAS system can be reduced.

[0069] Next, an example method of calculating the similarity between mobile access points is described.

[0070] The similarity between mobile access points can be defined as:

[0071]

[0072] θ sim (i, j) can represent the similarity of mobile access point j to mobile access point i. In formula (5), ω0 and ω1 are weights, where ω0+ω1=1, for example, ω0 and ω1 can be set to 0.5 respectively. Sgn(*) is the sign function. B max Indicates the maximum bandwidth requirement of the corresponding mobile access point.

[0073] The first half of the right side of the equal sign in formula (5) represents whether the maximum bandwidth demand of mobile access point j exceeds that of mobile access point i. If so, the sign function returns -1, and if not, it returns 1. This means that when the maximum demand of the newly added mobile access point does not exceed that of the original access point, the originally allocated bandwidth is roughly sufficient.

[0074] In the second half of the right side of the equation (5), and is the eigenvector of the position transfer probability matrix of mobile access point i and mobile access point j, that is, {λ1, λ2, ..., λ n Based on this item, it can be reflected whether the SAS frequently accessed by two mobile access points are the same.

[0075] When the weights are initially set, for example, it can be considered that the mobile access points are relatively similar when the similarity exceeds 0.75, and are very similar when the similarity exceeds 0.9, and similar spectrum allocation schemes can be determined accordingly.

[0076] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the details in the above examples.

[0077] In the above example, the spectrum allocation scheme is determined based on the similarity of two mobile access points. In addition, multiple mobile access points can also be classified based on parameters related to the behavior characteristics of the mobile access points, and similar access methods and / or spectrum allocation methods are applied to the same type of mobile access points.

[0078] According to one embodiment, the determination unit 113 may be configured to classify mobile access points according to parameters related to mobility and / or parameters related to how fast the required spectrum bandwidth changes, and determine an access method and / or spectrum allocation method accordingly for each classification.

[0079] Next, an example manner of clustering mobile access points is described.

[0080] First, the normalized eigenvalues ​​of the position transfer probability matrix of the mobile access point can be calculated, and the absolute values ​​can be taken and summed to obtain the parameters represented by the above formula (2). The parameters can reflect the overhead caused by the mobility of the mobile access point for the spectrum management device to implement spectrum management (for example, spectrum resources need to be reallocated at different locations, or the interference graph used by the coexistence management unit changes due to the change in location).

[0081] In addition, the shape parameter in the generalized Pareto distribution can be obtained as described above in combination with equations (3) and (4). When the parameter is greater than 0.5, the mean of the bandwidth required by the mobile access point does not converge, and when the parameter is greater than 1, the variance of the bandwidth required by the mobile access point does not converge.

[0082] Next, according to the actual system configuration, the mobile access point may, for example, report the above parameter information to the spectrum management device.

[0083] The spectrum management device (such as CxM or SAS, depending on the actual system configuration) can integrate the parameter information reported by the mobile access point (such as CBSD) and perform clustering based on the integrated parameters. Fig.12An example of clustering results is shown, where the horizontal and vertical axes correspond to the sum of the normalized eigenvalues ​​of the position transfer matrix (mobility parameter) and the shape parameter in the generalized Pareto distribution (traffic flow change speed parameter), respectively. Fig.12 In the example shown, the mobile access points represented by the four dots in the lower left corner may be classified into one category, while the mobile access point represented by the one dot in the upper right corner may be classified into another category.

[0084] For example, the shape parameter of the probability density function of the flow and the sum of the normalized eigenvalues ​​of the position transfer matrix can be statistically obtained based on the CBSD record (the record content may include, for example, the CBSD ID, the flag bit (for example, used to indicate the time period, etc.), the CBSD position, the CBSD moving speed, the data flow between the last timestamp and this timestamp, the timestamp, etc.). Then, the characteristics of the CBSD can be analyzed according to whether the shape parameter is greater than 1 and whether the sum of the normalized eigenvalues ​​is greater than 2, and the analysis results are whether the mobility is high and whether the demand is highly variable. For example, four types of users can be obtained by pairing two by two, namely, mobile access points with low mobility and stable demand changes, mobile access points with high mobility but stable demand changes, mobile access points with low mobility but drastic demand changes, and mobile access points with high mobility and drastic demand changes, and corresponding processing can be performed for different types of users.

[0085] In addition, if the mobile access points that bring more overhead are in the same SAS management area, the relevant spectrum management devices (such as CxM) can coordinate the allocation of the same or similar spectrum to avoid or reduce the reallocation of spectrum resources, or reserve a certain spectrum for these mobile access points to reduce their request times, thereby reducing system overhead. If the mobile access points that bring more overhead are in multiple SAS management areas, the relevant spectrum management devices (such as CxM) can query the upper SAS for the current available spectrum, and take the intersection of the available spectrum according to the information returned by the SAS. If the intersection is not empty, the intersection can be set as a public available channel, and the channel can be allocated to these mobile access points for use; if the intersection is empty, for example, the currently less used channel can be used as the public available channel. Mobile access points that bring more overhead can be set to use only public available channels, which can reduce the information interaction with the SAS during switching.

[0086] On the other hand, for mobile access points that do not bring too much system overhead, spectrum can be applied for more intelligently by predicting the data service needs of mobile access points, reducing the number of spectrum applications and the number of SAS database queries, thereby reducing the system overhead brought by these mobile access points.

[0087] In addition, given that the initial spectrum allocation for a newly added mobile access point is often somewhat blind, the mobile access point may access the SAS multiple times due to inappropriate spectrum allocation, increasing system overhead. Therefore, for a newly added mobile access point, the similarity between the access point and the mobile access point of the existing scheme can be calculated based on the behavioral model parameters of the access point, and a spectrum similar to that of the mobile access point with similar behavioral characteristics can be allocated. For example, when the similarity between a newly added CBSD and a CBSD of an existing allocation scheme exceeds a similarity threshold, a spectrum allocation scheme can be formulated for the newly added CBSD according to the existing allocation scheme. Thus, the overhead of a spectrum management device (such as a SAS or CxM) in formulating a spectrum allocation scheme can be reduced.

[0088] In the existing method, the CBSD is generally required to periodically access the SAS, which will bring about a relatively large overhead. According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, different types of mobile access points can be determined after behavioral feature analysis. In particular, for users with high mobility, the same spectrum can be allocated between the CxMs or SASs they frequently visit to avoid the CBSD from frequently applying for spectrum when quickly switching between different CxMs or SASs, thereby reducing system overhead.

[0089] Accordingly, according to one embodiment, the parameters acquired by the acquisition unit 111 may also include information related to the spectrum management devices visited by the mobile access point, and the determination unit 113 is further configured to determine at least partially the same spectrum allocation for a predetermined number of spectrum management devices with high visit frequency of the mobile access point.

[0090] In addition, for CBSDs with slower data traffic changes (more stable traffic), future demand can be predicted and spectrum can be applied for, and the heartbeat of the CBSD (i.e., the access cycle to the SAS) can be extended, thereby reducing the number of times the CBSD applies for spectrum from the SAS. For CBSDs with faster data traffic changes, for example, if there are no incumbent access users under it, the heartbeat of the CBSD can be extended and the number of spectrum applications can be limited to reduce the number of applications received by the SAS from the CBSD.

[0091] Accordingly, according to one embodiment, the service demand of the mobile access point may be predicted and a spectrum request may be made based on the predicted service demand.

[0092] like Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device 200 for wireless communication according to this embodiment includes a processing circuit 210. The processing circuit 210 includes an acquisition unit 211, a determination unit 213 and a prediction unit 215. The configurations of the acquisition unit 211 and the determination unit 213 are the same as those described above. Figure 1 Corresponding elements in the described embodiments are similar.

[0093] The prediction unit 215 is configured to predict the service demand of the mobile access point based on the parameters acquired by the acquisition unit 211 .

[0094] The determination unit 213 is further configured to determine a request for a spectrum of a corresponding width based on the service demand predicted by the prediction unit 215 .

[0095] In addition, according to one embodiment, a prediction of the dwell time may be provided, and the dwell time may be directly used as the spectrum license expiration time in the SAS, thereby reducing the periodic synchronization overhead caused by the fixed spectrum license expiration time.

[0096] Still refer to Figure 2 The present embodiment is described. The electronic device 200 for wireless communication according to the present embodiment includes a processing circuit 210. The processing circuit 210 includes an acquisition unit 211, a determination unit 213, and a prediction unit 215. The configurations of the acquisition unit 211 and the determination unit 213 are the same as those described above. Figure 1 Corresponding elements in the described embodiments are similar.

[0097] The prediction unit 215 is configured to predict the residence time of the mobile access point in its current area based on the parameters acquired by the acquisition unit 211 .

[0098] The determining unit 213 is further configured to determine a license expiration time of the spectrum allocated to the mobile access point according to the residence time predicted by the predicting unit 215 .

[0099] Existing mobile access point mobility models generally do not consider the residence time of the mobile access point in a certain area, or simply only consider the movement time. However, the inventors realize that the residence time is also of great significance to SAS / CxM spectrum allocation.

[0100] In addition, the area mentioned here may include a CxM management area. Accordingly, the residence time may refer to the residence time of the CBSD in a certain CxM management area.

[0101] The probability distribution of the dwell time can be estimated based on the historical behavior of the mobile access points ( Fig. 9 An example of the residence time distribution at different locations is shown), and the minimum residence time under a certain probability can be estimated.

[0102] It should be noted that the solutions of the above embodiments can be combined. Figure 7 The overall flow chart shown includes multiple aspects of the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0103] like Figure 7As shown, in S702, a time-varying transfer matrix is ​​determined. For example, the order of the transfer probability matrix about the location of the mobile access point can be determined according to the local record of the mobile access point (equivalent to the number of different spectrum management devices visited by the mobile access point in the previous period of time, or different locations within the management range of the same spectrum management device).

[0104] In addition, for example, the service data demand model of the mobile access point at different times (ie, the data traffic of the mobile access point) can be statistically analyzed based on the local records of the mobile access point, and the records can be fitted according to the generalized Pareto distribution.

[0105] At S704, the residence time distribution is classified. For example, the time when the mobile access point accesses different spectrum management devices or different locations within the management range of the same spectrum management device can be counted based on the local records of the mobile access point, and then the distribution of the access time can be fitted to obtain the probability distribution of the residence time of the mobile access point in the corresponding spectrum management device or in different locations within the management range of the same spectrum management device, and obtain the corresponding cumulative distribution function (for example, Fig. 9 shown).

[0106] In S706, a stay time prediction is performed.

[0107] Through the above series of processing, the most likely position of the mobile access point in the next synchronization period, the spectrum bandwidth required under a certain probability, and the residence time under a certain probability can be predicted.

[0108] In S708, the above information may be fed back to the spectrum management device.

[0109] Fig.10 A signaling interaction diagram corresponding to the above process is shown.

[0110] Specifically, the processing performed on the CBSD side may include: (1) determining the transfer matrix, (2) determining the residence time distribution, (3) determining the business pattern distribution, (4) predicting the location and residence time, (5) predicting the spectrum request based on the business pattern distribution, and (6) uploading the parameters to the CxM.

[0111] The processing performed on the CxM side may include: (7) integrating uploaded messages, (8) classifying the behavior of the CBSD, (9) performing spectrum query based on the behavior of the CBSD, and (10) issuing a spectrum query request to the SAS.

[0112] Thereafter, in process (11), SAS may send a response message to CxM.

[0113] It should be noted that the processing at the CxM and the SAS may be combined in one place (eg, performed at the CxM or at the SAS).

[0114] As mentioned above, the electronic device according to this embodiment may be implemented on the spectrum management device side or the mobile access point side.

[0115] According to one embodiment, the electronic device is provided at a spectrum management device side and is configured to receive parameters from a mobile access point.

[0116] like Figure 3 As shown, the electronic device 300 for wireless communication according to this embodiment includes a processing circuit 310. The processing circuit 310 includes an acquisition unit 311, a determination unit 313 and a transceiver control unit 315. The configurations of the acquisition unit 311 and the determination unit 313 are the same as those in the previous reference. Figure 1 Corresponding elements in the described embodiments are similar.

[0117] The transceiver control unit 315 is configured to perform control to receive parameters from the mobile access point. The received parameters may be provided to the acquisition unit 311 .

[0118] According to another embodiment, the electronic device is provided at a mobile access point side, and is configured to notify the spectrum management device of the determined access mode and / or spectrum allocation mode.

[0119] Still refer to Figure 3 According to the present embodiment, the electronic device 300 for wireless communication includes a processing circuit 310. The processing circuit 310 includes an acquisition unit 311, a determination unit 313, and a transceiver control unit 315. The configurations of the acquisition unit 311 and the determination unit 313 are similar to those of the above reference. Figure 1 Corresponding elements in the described embodiments are similar.

[0120] The transceiver control unit 315 is configured to perform control to notify the spectrum management apparatus of the access mode and / or spectrum allocation mode determined by the determination unit 313 .

[0121] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the actual behavior model of the mobile access point is established through the behavior of the mobile access point, thereby predicting the mobility and service traffic pattern of the mobile access point. In addition, different spectrum management units can interactively share the behavior characteristic parameters of the mobile access point, and design an optimized access strategy based on this, thereby reducing system overhead.

[0122] In addition, the embodiments of the present disclosure may also have one or more of the following advantages:

[0123] Ability to predict the future location of a mobile access point, the dwell time at that location, and the demand for the mobile access point based on the behavior characteristics of the mobile access point;

[0124] Ability to identify mobile access points that bring more overhead without introducing additional overhead to the SAS system;

[0125] It can avoid the multiple spectrum request overhead caused by the high mobility mobile access point switching between management areas of different spectrum management devices (such as SAS or CxM); and

[0126] The rationality of the spectrum applied for by the mobile access point can be improved, so as to better meet the needs of the mobile access point and thus reduce system overhead.

[0127] Next, the effects of the embodiments of the present disclosure are further explained in combination with simulation results.

[0128] In order to verify the performance of the proposed solution, a 3.5GHz spectrum access system was selected as the simulation scenario. In this scenario, there are a large number of historical behavior records of mobile access points for modeling the behavior characteristics of mobile access points. Specifically, five mobile access points are distributed in an area of ​​2000 meters by 2000 meters. It is assumed that there are four SAS databases (SAS#1-SAS#4) in the area. Each SAS database has a spectrum management device (CxM) that manages the same area, and one of the mobile access points has high mobility. It should be noted that Fig.11 FIG. 4 only shows the distribution of mobile access points in each SAS area at a certain moment. In the simulation, the position of each mobile access point changes dynamically.

[0129] In addition, the parameters used in the simulation are shown in Table 1 below.

[0130] Table 1:

[0131] parameter value Number of SAS databases 4 CBSD quantity 5 Simulation times 100 Single simulation duration 3 hours CBSD-SAS update duration 2 minutes

[0132] The simulation is aimed at the number of times multiple CBSDs access the SAS within a period of time. In order to verify the stability and effectiveness of the algorithm, it is necessary to count the number of different CBSD mobile trajectories accessing the SAS within the same time. Therefore, multiple simulations ("Number of simulations" in the above table) were performed, where each simulation corresponds to the CBSD mobile trajectory within a period of time ("Single simulation duration" in the above table).

[0133] Fig.12The mobile access point clustering results for the overhead caused by the mobility of the mobile access point (the X-axis parameter is the sum of the normalized eigenvalues ​​of the probability transfer matrix of the mobile access point location) and the overhead caused by the change in the demand for the mobile access point (the Y-axis parameter is the shape parameter in the generalized Pareto distribution). The mobile access point closer to the upper right has a greater overhead. This method can be used to distinguish the mobile access points that bring greater overhead.

[0134] Fig.13 The simulation results of the number of SAS connections are shown. It can be seen from the simulation results that the number of SAS database accesses has decreased significantly after the overhead reduction strategy is adopted, compared with the case where the overhead reduction strategy is not adopted, thereby reducing the overhead of the SAS system. In addition, when prediction is further adopted, the number of SAS database accesses can be further reduced.

[0135] In the above description of the device embodiment, it is obvious that some processes and methods are also disclosed. Next, without repeating the details described above, a description of the wireless communication method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is given.

In addition, the wireless communication method according to an embodiment may also include a step of determining an access method to the spectrum access system based on the parameters.

[0137] The above parameters may include parameters related to the mobility of the mobile access point and / or parameters related to the speed of change of the spectrum bandwidth used by the mobile access point.
