[0066] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0067] SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) is an internationally used indicator for evaluating the impact of radio waves on the human body. It is a safety indicator and is strictly regulated by regulatory agencies in countries and regions around the world. Currently, the two mainstream standards in the world are 1.6W / Kg (watt / kilogram) of the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and 2.0W / Kg of the European Union (Conformite Europeenne, CE).
[0068] The SAR value is strongly correlated with parameters such as RF transmission power, antenna efficiency, and antenna radiation field shape, and is directly proportional to the conducted power. The higher the conducted power, the higher the SAR value. Currently, the most commonly used method in the mobile phone industry to solve SAR exceeding the standard is to reduce RF power (power back-off).
[0069] For electromagnetic wave signals of different frequencies, the SAR regulatory agencies in different regions have slightly different requirements. For example, for radio frequency signals below 3GHz, the FCC requires that the average SAR value within a 100-second period must not exceed the upper limit of 1.6W / Kg. However, the real-time SAR value can exceed 1.6W / Kg, as long as the average SAR value within the time window required by the regulations (such as 100 seconds for FCC) is controlled within the range required by the regulations.
[0070] To facilitate understanding of the present solution, before describing the embodiments of the present application, the application background of the embodiments of the present application is described.
[0071] For example, Figure 1A A time reversal (TR) system is shown, which includes a transceiver 102 and a transceiver 104. Figure 1B As shown, the transceiver 104 first transmits a beacon signal omnidirectionally, and only a part of the signal reaches the transceiver 102 after direct / reflection. The transceiver 102 adjusts the parameters of its transmission signal according to the received Beacon signal of the transceiver 104, and the transmitter of the transceiver 102 transmits the RF signal according to the adjusted parameters. The transmission signal of the transceiver 102 will achieve RF power focusing at the transceiver 104 (such as Figure 1C shown).
[0072] Ideally, the energy of the transmitted signal of the transceiver 102 can be focused on the antenna of the transceiver 104 after direct radiation / reflection. The higher the energy concentration, the higher the signal transmission efficiency. The area of the energy focusing area that can be achieved currently is about 4cm*4cm.
[0073] For example, Figure 2AThe schematic diagram of the structure of the transceiver circuit of the device under test (DUT) is as follows: Figure 2A As shown, it may include: a transceiver 200, a power amplifier (PA) 202, a low noise amplifier (LNA) 204, and an antenna 206. Among them, the transceiver 200 represents a transceiver, which can control the transmission frequency of the signal; the power amplifier 202 represents the power amplification module of the transmission link; the low noise amplifier 204 represents the LNA on the receiving link; in addition, Figure 2B This is a schematic diagram of the antenna position in the DUT. Figure 2B As shown, taking the device under test as a mobile phone as an example, in the two-dimensional plane of the mobile phone, 206 represents the position of the antenna in the DUT.
[0074] For a given conducted power and antenna status, the location of the SAR hotspot (the point with the highest SAR value) is determined, the distribution of SAR is fixed (SAR gradient map), and the SAR value (specifically the maximum SAR value) is also determined.
[0075] like Figure 2C As shown in the figure, the dotted circle on the upper left of the DUT can be understood as a distribution diagram of equal SAR values (ovals represent the same SAR values, and the further out the ellipse is, the lower the SAR value is). The higher the RF power, the higher the SAR hotspot value (the center of the dotted ellipse), and the lower the RF power, the lower the SAR hotspot value. The regulatory agency's requirement is that the point with the highest SAR value (average SAR value) should not exceed the regulatory requirements, such as: FCC 1.6W / Kg, CE 2.0W / Kg.
[0076] At present, the main means for mobile phones to solve the SAR compliance problem is power backoff (power backoff means reducing the transmission power). However, power backoff will affect the user experience (reduced data throughput, Internet access lag, etc.). Although the mobile phone signal transmission system can emit higher power, the mobile phone's transmission power cannot work at a higher transmission power state due to the limitation of SAR compliance, which wastes the performance of the mobile phone.
[0077] The specific absorption rate compliance control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 3In the application environment shown. The communication system may include a network device 302, which may be a device that communicates with a terminal 304 (or referred to as a communication terminal, terminal device). The network device 302 may provide communication coverage for a specific geographical area, and may communicate with a terminal 304 located in the coverage area. Optionally, the network device 302 may be a network device (Base Transceiver Station, BTS) in a GSM system or a CDMA system, or a network device (NodeB, NB) in a WCDMA system, or an evolved network device (Evolutional Node B, eNB or eNodeB) in an LTE system, or a wireless controller in a cloud radio access network (Cloud Radio Access Network, CRAN), or the network device may be a mobile switching center, a relay station, an access point, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a hub, a switch, a bridge, a router, a core network in a 5G network, a base station, and other network-side devices, or a network device in a future evolved public land mobile network (Public Land Mobile Network, PLMN), etc.
[0078] In some examples, the network device in the embodiments of the present application may be a base station. Optionally, the base station is an indoor base station, such as an indoor small base station scenario, where the terminal device is close to the base station; in other examples, the network device may include a device that provides wireless communication functions for the terminal, such as a chip system, a chip, or a chip module. For example, the chip system may include a chip, or may include other discrete devices.
[0079] The communication system may also include at least one terminal 304 located within the coverage of the network device 302. As used herein, a "terminal" is a terminal device that is configured to communicate via a wireless interface, which may be referred to as a "wireless communication terminal", "wireless terminal" or "mobile terminal". Examples of mobile terminals include, but are not limited to, satellite or cellular phones; Personal Communications System (PCS) terminals that can combine cellular radiotelephones with data processing, fax and data communication capabilities; Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) that may include radiotelephones, pagers, Internet / Intranet access, Web browsers, notepads, calendars and / or Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers; and conventional laptop and / or palmtop receivers or other electronic devices that include radiotelephone transceivers. Terminal 304 may refer to an access terminal, user equipment (UE), a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a wireless communication device, a user agent or a user device. The access terminal can be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a PDA, a handheld device with wireless communication function, a computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a terminal in a 5G network, or a terminal in a future evolved PLMN, etc.
[0080] In some examples, the terminal device in the embodiments of the present application can be suitable for indoor applications, taking the network device as an indoor base station and the terminal device as a mobile phone as an example, such as an indoor small base station scenario, the distance between the mobile phone and the base station is about 10 meters. In other examples, the terminal device may include a device with wireless communication functions, such as a chip system, a chip, and a chip module. For example, the chip system may include a chip and may also include other discrete devices.
[0081] It should be noted that the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various communication systems, such as: Global System of Mobile communication (GSM) system, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Enhanced Data Rate for GSM Evolution (EDGE), Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, LTE Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) system, LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD), Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) communication system, 5G New Radio (NR) system, 6th Generation (6G) communication system or other communication systems.
[0082] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, a method for controlling compliance with specific absorption rate is provided, and the method is applied to the terminal in FIG1 as an example for explanation. The method can be specifically applied to a signal processing component of the terminal device, and the signal processing component is connected to multiple antennas through a transceiver path. The number of the transceiver paths is one or more, and the distribution positions of the multiple antennas are different; the method includes the following steps:
[0083] Step 402, in response to the terminal device currently satisfying the specific absorption rate control condition, the receiving signals of multiple antennas are respectively obtained through the transceiver path; the specific absorption rate control condition includes that the distance between the terminal device and the target object is less than or equal to the preset distance; the received signal includes a broadcast signal from the network device that is not blocked by the target object.
[0084] Among them, the specific absorption rate control condition may refer to a trigger condition for instructing the terminal device to execute the SAR compliance mechanism; such as Figure 5As shown, taking the target object as a user as an example, when the user approaches the transmitting antenna of the terminal device, the terminal device senses that the user is approaching. If the SAR is too high at this time, the terminal device can trigger the mechanism to reduce the SAR (for example, actively turn on the mechanism to reduce the SAR) to ensure that the SAR is compliant when the user approaches. Figure 5 As shown, the distribution positions of multiple antennas in the terminal device are different.
[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, the specific absorption rate control condition may include that the distance between the terminal device and the target object is less than or equal to a preset distance; illustratively, the preset distance may refer to the distance of the user close to the mobile phone perceived by the terminal device (for example, the distance of the user's body from the terminal device). In one embodiment, the terminal device can sense the approach of a human body through a ranging unit and confirm the distance between the terminal device and the target object. Optionally, the ranging unit can be implemented using a distance sensor, which is disposed in the terminal device and outputs a sensor signal; when the sensor detects that a human body is approaching, such as when answering a call, the signal processing component receives the sensor signal, and when the sensor signal indicates that a human body is approaching (the distance between the terminal device and the target object is less than or equal to the preset distance), it is confirmed that the terminal device currently meets the specific absorption rate control condition.
[0086] In one of the embodiments, the preset distance is determined based on the terminal device's compliance requirement for the target object's specific absorption rate; the specific absorption rate control condition also includes that the distance between the terminal device and the network device is less than or equal to a distance threshold;
[0087] Specifically, the preset distance in the embodiment of the present application can be determined based on the terminal device's compliance requirements for the target object's specific absorption rate, for example, the target object is close to the terminal device until the distance at which the terminal device is triggered to initiate specific absorption rate compliance control.
[0088] Optionally, the specific absorption rate control condition may also include that the distance between the terminal device and the network device is less than or equal to a distance threshold; the embodiment of the present application is applicable to scenarios where the distance between the terminal device and the network device is relatively close; taking the terminal device as a mobile phone and the network device as a base station as an example, when the distance between the mobile phone and the base station is relatively close (such as in a small base station scenario indoors, the distance between the mobile phone and the base station may be only about 10 meters), the terminal device may be triggered to start specific absorption rate compliance control.
[0089] In some examples, the value of the distance threshold is related to the number of transceiver channels and the number of antennas of the terminal device. For example, if the transmission power of each transceiver channel is the same, that is, each transceiver channel transmits the same amount of power, then the combined power is large, and the communication distance can be longer. Furthermore, the value of the distance threshold is related to the difference in signal characteristics of the antenna receiving signal. If the distance threshold is too large (that is, the distance is too far), the signal transmitted from the "far away" to the antenna of the terminal device (such as DUT) will be regarded as no difference, and multiple antennas (such as four antennas) on the terminal device may be regarded as one antenna (the signal characteristics received by the four antennas are exactly the same, or the difference is too small); in some examples, the value range of the distance threshold can be less than or equal to 10 meters.
[0090] Further, in response to the terminal device currently satisfying the specific absorption rate control condition, the signal processing component obtains the receiving signals of the multiple antennas through the transceiver path respectively; Figure 6 As shown, the terminal device 100 may include a signal processing component 10, the signal processing component 10 is connected to multiple antennas through a transceiver path, the number of the transceiver paths is one or more, and the multiple antennas are distributed at different positions in the terminal device 100. Exemplarily, the terminal device 100 may be applied to a time division duplex (TDD) communication mode, and may also be applied to a frequency division duplex (FDD) communication mode.
[0091] Among them, the signal processing component 10 may refer to a device capable of processing the receiving signal and transmitting signal of the antenna; optionally, the signal processing component may include a modem (Modulate DEModulale, Modem) and a transceiver (Transceiver), and the transceiver is used to receive and transmit the receiving signals and transmitting signals of multiple antennas, and process signals, such as signal feature detection, and amplitude phase detection. The modem is used for signal processing, for example, processing signal feature parameters, determining the transmission parameters of the transceiver path, and allocating multiple antennas, generating switching signals, etc. The switching signal can be used to switch the antenna to be connected to the corresponding transceiver path.
[0092] Exemplarily, the transceiver path may refer to a transmit / receive path (or a transmit / receive circuit, or a TX / RX link), and the transceiver path may include a power amplifier (PA), a low noise amplifier (LNA), and a corresponding switching component, the switching component is used to conduct the transmit / receive path in a corresponding manner to match the communication mode of the terminal device, and the switching component can respond to a switching signal; in the embodiment of the present application, the transceiver path cooperates with a multi-channel transceiver / receiver antenna formed by multiple antennas, which can respectively transmit and receive signals in the same frequency band, and then multiple transceiver paths can operate at the same frequency. It should be noted that the operating frequency of the transmit / receive antenna is confirmed after the design of the antenna is determined, and the operating frequency can be a design parameter of the antenna, and the operating frequency of the transceiver path is determined (the power amplifier, low noise amplifier, and transceiver can all operate at the corresponding frequency).
[0093] In addition, the number of transmit and receive paths can be the same as or different from the number of antennas, such as Figure 6 As shown, the number of transceiver paths is M, and the number of antennas is N. For example, taking the terminal device as a mobile phone, the number of antennas in the embodiment of the present application is at least 4, that is, N is greater than or equal to 4, so that each transmission signal can achieve point focusing; at the same time, the positions of the antennas in the mobile phone are different from each other.
[0094] It should be noted that the number of antennas and transceiver paths in the embodiment of the present application depends on how large the terminal device (for example, DUT) is and how many paths can be set. Using more transmit / receive paths can achieve greater power transmission and a longer communication distance. By way of example, the number of transceiver paths can be 6 and the number of antennas can be 6; in addition, the transceiver path in the embodiment of the present application may include a receiving branch and a transmitting branch, and the receiving branch and the transmitting branch share the same antenna, that is, the transmitting and receiving share the same antenna; when the number of transceiver paths is multiple, multiple transceiver paths can operate at the same frequency.
[0095] The embodiment of the present application is connected to multiple antennas through a transceiver path, and the distribution positions of the antennas are different, forming a multi-path transceiver / receiver antenna. Optionally, the multi-path transceiver / receiver antenna can be integrated on a terminal device (such as a mobile phone); by adding multiple transmitting and receiving circuits and multiple antennas with different distribution positions in the terminal device, when the signal transmitted by the network device reaches different antennas of the terminal device, there are differences in signal characteristics (for example, phase difference and amplitude difference), and then when the signal is transmitted through multiple antennas, the path of each transmitted signal can bypass the target object and achieve focusing at the corresponding position.
[0096] In the embodiment of the present application, the received signal may include a broadcast signal from the network device that is not blocked by the target object; for example, when the network device sends a broadcast signal, due to the blockage of the target object, some antennas of all antennas of the terminal device do not receive the broadcast signal, and the signal processing component cannot obtain the received signal of the part of the antenna. Figure 7 As shown, taking the indoor scene as an example, when the target object is close to the terminal device, the target object will block the signal transmitted by the network device, and some of the direct signals of the network device cannot reach the antenna of the terminal device due to being blocked by the target object. That is, in response to the terminal device currently meeting the specific absorption rate control condition, the signal processing component obtains the receiving signals of multiple antennas (part of the antennas) respectively through the transceiver path, and the received signals are signals from the network device that are not blocked by the target object.
[0097] In some examples, taking the network device as a base station, the received signal may refer to the broadcast signal sent by the base station received by the antenna of the terminal device. Furthermore, when there is no obstruction between the terminal device and the base station (no target object such as a human body), the receiving path of the terminal device can receive the broadcast signal of the base station; and when the target object such as a human body is close to the terminal device, the human body blocks the signal of the base station, and the base station signal received by the receiving path of the terminal device changes (part of the direct signal of the base station cannot reach the receiving antenna of the terminal device because it is blocked by the human body).
[0098] Step 404, obtain signal characteristic parameters of the received signal, process the signal characteristic parameters, and determine the transmission parameters of the transceiver path; the transmission parameters are used to indicate that the transmission signals of multiple antennas are focused on the network device along the corresponding target paths, so that the absorption rate hotspot area formed by the focusing of each transmission signal bypasses the target object; the target path includes the reverse path of the transmission path of the network device to send the broadcast signal.
[0099] Specifically, after obtaining the received signal, the signal processing component can obtain the signal characteristic parameters of the received signal; in one embodiment, the signal characteristic parameters may include the amplitude of the received signal and the phase of the received signal. Different antennas are located at different locations in the terminal device, and thus the signals transmitted by the network device have phase differences and amplitude differences when they reach different antennas of the terminal device.
[0100] In an embodiment of the present application, the signal processing component can extract the amplitude and phase of the received signal (the broadcast signal arriving at the antenna of the terminal device); illustratively, the signal characteristic parameters can be obtained through the amplitude / phase detection function module on the transceiver path; optionally, the amplitude / phase detection function module can be implemented using a transceiver (Transceiver), which is responsible for processing the signal, such as amplitude phase detection.
[0101] Further, such as Figure 8 As shown, taking the indoor scene as an example, after obtaining the signal characteristic parameters of the received signal, the signal processing component can process the signal characteristic parameters to determine the transmission parameters of the transceiver path, and the transmission parameters can be used to instruct the transmission signals of multiple antennas to focus on the network device along the corresponding target paths, so that the specific absorption rate hotspot area (i.e., SAR hotspot area) formed by the focusing of each transmission signal bypasses the target object. The target path may include the reverse path of the transmission path of the broadcast signal sent by the network device, that is, the transmission signal is transmitted in the reverse direction along the transmission path of the broadcast signal.
[0102] In one embodiment, the transmission parameter may include an amplitude of the transmission signal and a phase of the transmission signal. In some examples, the transmission signal may be a radio frequency signal.
[0103] Exemplarily, the transmission signals of multiple antennas are respectively focused on the network device along the corresponding target paths, which may mean that each transmission signal is focused at a receiving antenna of the network device.
[0104] By adding multiple transmitting / receiving circuits to the terminal device, the amplitude and phase of the base station received signal are extracted and corresponding calculations are performed to obtain new transmission parameters. The transmitting circuit of the terminal device uses the new amplitude and phase transmission parameters for transmission. The signal transmitted by the terminal device directly bypasses the human body and does not form a strong signal area in the human body, thereby achieving SAR compliance. At the same time, since the signal of the terminal device is focused at the network device, the energy utilization rate is higher than that of traditional solutions.
[0105] In one embodiment, the signal characteristic parameters include the amplitude of the received signal and the phase of the received signal; the transmission parameters include the amplitude of the transmitted signal and the phase of the transmitted signal; Fig. 9 As shown, the step of processing the signal characteristic parameters to determine the transmission parameters of the transceiver path may include:
[0106] Step 502, performing time inversion processing on the amplitude and phase of the received signal to obtain a time inversion calculation result;
[0107] Step 504: confirm the transmission parameters according to the time inversion calculation result.
[0108] Specifically, the embodiment of the present application obtains new transmission parameters by extracting the amplitude and phase of the broadcast signal of the network device and performing time reversal calculation. Among them, time reversal processing can refer to reversing the time axis and then conjugating the phase. After obtaining the time reversal calculation result, the signal processing component can confirm the transmission parameters, that is, the amplitude of the transmitted signal and the phase of the transmitted signal according to the time reversal calculation result, and then the transceiver path of the terminal device transmits with their respective new amplitudes and phases, so that the transmitted signal is focused at the network device.
[0109] Through the multi-channel receiving / transmitting antennas of the terminal device, the terminal device's transmission signal can be transmitted around the human body, and no SAR hotspot will be formed on the human body. At the same time, since the terminal device's transmission signal is focused and transmitted at the base station, the utilization rate of the RF signal energy is also significantly improved.
[0110] In order to further illustrate the solution of the embodiment of the present application, the implementation of time reversal in the embodiment of the present application is described below by taking the time reversal process between transceiver A and transceiver B as an example:
[0111] Transceiver A first transmits the Beacon signal omnidirectionally, and only a part of the signal reaches transceiver B after direct / reflection. Transceiver B extracts the amplitude and phase of the Beacon signal according to the signal received from transceiver A, and performs time inversion calculation on the signal parameters in the processor, outputs new amplitude and phase parameters, and the transmitter of transceiver B transmits the RF signal according to the new amplitude and phase parameters. The signal of transceiver B will achieve RF power focusing at transceiver A.
[0112] And as Fig.10 As shown in the figure, if there is a human body between transceiver A and transceiver B, the RF signal transmitted by transceiver A is blocked by the human body. At this time, only the reflected signal of the Beacon signal transmitted by transceiver A reaches transceiver B. After the time inversion calculation of transceiver B, the transmission signal of transceiver B will be transmitted along the reverse path of the transmission signal received from transceiver A. At this time, the transmission signal of transceiver B directly bypasses the human body, as shown in the figure. Fig.11 shown.
[0113] In one embodiment, the step of performing time inversion processing on the amplitude of the received signal and the phase of the received signal to obtain the time inversion calculation result includes:
[0114] If the receiving frequency of the transceiver path for the receiving signal is different from the transmitting frequency of the transceiver path for the transmitting signal, then obtaining the channel transmission parameters of the receiving signal and the channel transmission parameters of the transmitting signal;
[0115] Calibrate the channel transmission parameters of the received signal and the channel transmission parameters of the transmitted signal to obtain a calibration result; the calibration result is used to characterize the quantitative compensation of the difference in the channel transmission parameters between the received signal and the transmitted signal;
[0116] Based on the calibration result, a time inversion calculation of the signal characteristic parameters is completed to obtain a time inversion calculation result.
[0117] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, there is a situation where the receiving frequency of the transceiver path for the received signal is different from the transmitting frequency of the transceiver path for the transmitted signal. For example, when the terminal device is used in a frequency division duplex (FDD) communication mode, the transceiver path can use a duplexer to isolate the received signal from the transmitted signal, and the duplexer distinguishes the transmitting and receiving paths by frequency, that is, the transmitting and receiving frequencies are different.
[0118] When the frequencies of the terminal device's transmitting signal and receiving signal are different, the signal processing component needs to calibrate the transmission model parameters of the two signals of different frequencies in the channel (for example, channel transmission parameters) when performing time reversal calculations on the terminal device side, thereby ensuring that the terminal device applies the time reversal calculation parameters performed based on the receiving frequency to the transmitting frequency, and can also achieve focusing at the receiving antenna of the network device.
[0119] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the basis of time reversal processing is to perform time reversal calculation on the received signal and determine the transmission parameters according to the calculation result; in the transceiver path, if the transmission and reception are of the same frequency, the influence of the channel on the transmission signal and the reception signal is the same, and then the transmission signal parameters can be obtained by using the reception signal. Furthermore, a modem can be used to process the signal and perform time reversal calculation.
[0120] In some examples, the calibration results are used to characterize the quantitative compensation of the difference in channel transmission parameters between the received signal and the transmitted signal; specifically, when the terminal device is used in a frequency division duplex (FDD) communication mode, the transceiver path uses an FDD circuit, and thus the transmitting and receiving frequencies are different. If the characteristics of the received signal are used to describe the transmitted signal, there will be a difference; in the embodiment of the present application, this difference can be quantified through calibration, and then this difference can be compensated during transmission, and then the transmitted signal can be described based on the received signal + the difference.
[0121] In the embodiment of the present application, multiple transmitting and receiving circuits are added to the terminal device, the amplitude and phase of the signal transmitted by the network device are extracted, and time inversion calculation is performed to obtain new transmission parameters. The RF transmitting circuit of the terminal device uses the new amplitude and phase transmission parameters for transmission. The signal transmitted by the terminal device directly bypasses the target object and does not form a strong signal area at the target object, thereby achieving SAR compliance. At the same time, since the signal of the mobile phone is focused at the base station, the energy utilization rate is higher than that of traditional solutions.
[0122] In one embodiment, the SAR control condition also includes that the terminal device is in an initialization state; Fig.12 As shown, the method also includes:
[0123] Step 602: if the received signals of all antennas are obtained through the transceiver path, the signal characteristic parameters of each received signal are respectively obtained, and each signal characteristic parameter is processed to determine each transmission parameter;
[0124] Step 604, based on each transmission parameter, when the transmission signals of each antenna are respectively along the corresponding target path and are all focused on the network device, confirm that the terminal device enters the initialization state.
[0125] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the specific absorption rate control condition currently satisfied by the terminal device also includes that the terminal device is in an initialization state. Fig.13 As shown, taking the indoor scene as an example, the initialization state may refer to that before the terminal device triggers the SAR compliance mechanism (for example, the target object does not exist), the transmission signals of multiple antennas of the terminal device have formed a focused steady state at the network device based on time inversion. In some examples, when the terminal device is in the initialization state, it is in a stable state. After stabilization, it can accurately identify the state of the object approaching and start a new adjustment until a new steady state is formed.
[0126] In order to further illustrate the solution of the embodiment of the present application, a specific example is used below to illustrate, taking the terminal device as a mobile phone (the mobile phone has four antennas, and the four transmission paths and receiving paths are formed by combining the transceiver paths), the network device as a base station, the target object as a user, and the application in an indoor scene as an example:
[0127] ①The base station sends a broadcast signal;
[0128] ② When there is no obstruction between the mobile phone and the base station (no human body blocking), the four receiving channels of the mobile phone receive the broadcast signal of the base station;
[0129] ③ The mobile phone receiving channel performs amplitude and phase detection on the received base station signal through the amplitude / phase detection function; different antennas are located at different positions in the mobile phone, and there are phase and amplitude differences when the broadcast signal emitted by the base station reaches different antennas of the mobile phone.
[0130] ④ Taking the four antennas as antenna 1 / antenna 2 / antenna 3 / antenna 4, the amplitude / phase detection module (eg, transceiver) of the receiving path of antenna 1 of the mobile phone sends the obtained amplitude A1 / phase P1 information to the modem.
[0131] ⑤ The modem performs time inversion calculation on the amplitude A1 and phase P1 signals to obtain new amplitude A2 and phase P2 parameters.
[0132] ⑥ The antenna 1 transmitter of the mobile phone transmits with the new amplitude A2 and phase P2.
[0133] ⑦ The mobile phone's antenna 2 / antenna 3 / antenna 4 also transmits in the manner of steps ② to ⑥, and the transmission signals of the mobile phone's four antennas are focused at the base station.
[0134] ⑧ When a human body is close to a mobile phone, it blocks the base station signal. At this time, the base station signals received by the four receiving paths of the mobile phone change (part of the base station's direct signals are blocked by the human body and cannot reach the mobile phone's receiving antenna). Each receiver of the mobile phone extracts the amplitude and phase based on the received base station signal, and transmits the extracted amplitude and phase data to the modem.
[0135] ⑨ The modem performs time inversion on the amplitude and phase extracted from the receiving path of each receiving antenna to obtain new amplitude and phase.
[0136] ⑩ Each transmitter of the mobile phone transmits with its own new amplitude and phase, and the mobile phone's transmission signal is refocused at the base station.
[0137] As mentioned above, the multi-channel receiving / transmitting antenna of the mobile phone enables the mobile phone's transmission signal to bypass the human body for transmission, and will not form SAR hotspots on the human body. At the same time, since the mobile phone's transmission signal is focused and transmitted at the base station, the utilization rate of the RF signal energy is also significantly increased. It should be noted that the receiver and transmitter in the above steps ① to ⑩ can use the transceiver in the mobile phone to realize the corresponding functions.
