The present invention does not limit this.
[0079] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, the interaction interface is the interface for communication between the first baseband module and the second baseband module. The first baseband module can obtain satellite platform parameters from the second baseband module through the interaction interface. The second baseband module supports the Digital Video Broadcasting-Return Channel via Satellite / Satellite-Second Generation (DVB-RCS / S2) protocol.

[0082] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, the satellite platform EIRP and the G / T value can be the same or different for each of the multiple beams.
[0083] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, after the first baseband module obtains the geographical location information, coverage area information and satellite platform parameters, it can use the geographical location information, coverage area information and satellite platform parameters to determine the resource demand information.
[0084] Specifically, in embodiments of the present invention, satellite platform parameters include: satellite platform altitude, satellite beam information, effective isotropic radiated power of the satellite platform, and the ratio of receive gain to equivalent noise. The first baseband module determines resource requirement information based on geographical location information, coverage area information, and satellite platform parameters, including: determining the coverage area corresponding to each of the multiple beams generated by the satellite according to the satellite platform altitude and satellite beam information; selecting beams whose corresponding coverage areas are contained in the area represented by the coverage area information from the multiple beams to form a beam set corresponding to 3GPP NTN; obtaining 3GPP NTN bandwidth, transmit power of the 3GPP NTN converged terminal, and receive sensitivity; and based on the effective isotropic radiated power of the satellite platform, the ratio of receive gain to equivalent noise, and 3GPP NTN parameters, determining the coverage area corresponding to each of the multiple beams generated by the satellite platform; selecting beams whose corresponding coverage areas are contained in the area represented by the coverage area information to form a beam set corresponding to 3GPP NTN; obtaining 3GPP NTN bandwidth, transmit power of the 3GPP NTN converged terminal, and receive sensitivity; and determining the coverage area corresponding to each of the multiple beams, the coverage area corresponding to each of the multiple beams, and selecting beams whose ...

[0085] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, the first baseband module first determines the coverage area corresponding to each of the multiple beams generated by the satellite based on the satellite platform altitude and satellite beam information; specifically, the beam information may include the beam half-angle and beam distribution; then, from the multiple beams, the beams whose corresponding coverage area is contained in the area represented by the coverage area information are selected to obtain the beam set corresponding to 3GPP NTN. At this time, the coverage area of each beam included in the beam set includes a 3GPP NTN converged terminal; then, the 3GPP NTN bandwidth, the transmit power and receive sensitivity of the 3GPP NTN converged terminal are obtained, and based on the effective omnidirectional radiated power of the satellite platform, the ratio of receive gain to equivalent noise, and the 3GPP NTN converged terminal, the 3GPP NTN converged terminal is determined.

In other words, the first baseband module can send the actual resource demand information to the second baseband module through the interaction interface, and receive the resource authorization result that matches the resource demand information, thereby realizing dynamic allocation of satellite resources, avoiding the waste caused by static leasing of satellite resources, and improving the utilization rate of satellite resources.
[0089] Specifically, in the embodiments of the present invention, the resource authorization result includes: authorized resource information, or no authorized resource information is matched; the authorized resource information includes at least: the beam identifier, uplink resource authorization list and downlink resource authorization list corresponding to each beam in the beam set corresponding to the 3GPP NTN.

[0094] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, after obtaining the authorized resource information, the first baseband module allocates authorized bandwidth resources in the 3GPP NTN so that the 3GPP NTN converged terminal can access the authorized bandwidth resources and realize resource sharing of satellite resources.
[0095] Specifically, in the embodiments of the present invention, the first baseband module utilizes authorized resource information to allocate authorized bandwidth resources in the 3GPP NTN, including: for each beam identifier corresponding to a beam in the beam set, determining the corresponding number of terminals to be accessed based on the corresponding coverage area and geographical location information, and determining the corresponding 3GPP NTN cell based on the corresponding number of terminals to be accessed; for each beam identifier corresponding to a beam in the beam set, determining the uplink frequency and uplink bandwidth allocated to the corresponding 3GPP NTN cell in the 3GPP NTN from the authorized bandwidth resources based on the number of corresponding 3GPP NTN cells and the corresponding uplink resource authorization list; for each beam identifier corresponding to a beam in the beam set, determining the downlink frequency and downlink bandwidth allocated to the corresponding 3GPP NTN cell in the 3GPP NTN from the authorized bandwidth resources based on the number of corresponding 3GPP NTN cells and the corresponding downlink resource authorization list; for each beam identifier corresponding to a beam in the beam set, determining the uplink frequency and downlink bandwidth allocated to the corresponding 3GPP NTN cell in the 3GPP NTN from the authorized bandwidth resources based on the number of corresponding 3GPP NTN cells and the corresponding downlink resource authorization list; for each beam identifier corresponding to a beam in the beam set, determining the uplink frequency and downlink bandwidth allocated to the corresponding 3GPP NTN cell in the 3GPP NTN from the authorized bandwidth resources based on the number of corresponding 3GPP NTN cells and the corresponding downlink resource authorization list; and for each beam identifier corresponding to a beam in the beam set, determining the uplink frequency and downlink bandwidth allocated to the corresponding 3GPP NTN cell in the 3GPP NTN from the authorized bandwidth resources based on the number of corresponding 3GPP NTN cells and the corresponding downlink resource authorization list. The uplink frequency, downlink frequency, uplink bandwidth, and downlink bandwidth allocated in the NTN determine the configuration information of the corresponding 3GPP NTN baseband; for each beam identifier in the beam set, the corresponding RF transceiver frequency of the 3GPP NTN baseband is configured according to the configuration information of the corresponding 3GPP NTN baseband.
[0096] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, the first baseband module, for each beam identifier in the beam set, first determines the number of terminals to be accessed based on the corresponding coverage area and geographical location information, and then determines the corresponding 3GPP NTN cell based on the number of terminals to be accessed; then, based on the number of corresponding 3GPP NTN cells and the corresponding uplink resource grant list, it determines the uplink frequency and uplink bandwidth allocated to the corresponding 3GPP NTN cell in the 3GPP NTN from the granted bandwidth resources; while determining the allocated uplink frequency and uplink bandwidth for each beam identifier in the beam set, it can also determine the corresponding downlink frequency and downlink bandwidth allocated to the corresponding 3GPP NTN cell in the 3GPP NTN from the granted bandwidth resources according to the same implementation process, i.e., based on the number of corresponding 3GPP NTN cells and the corresponding downlink resource grant list; finally, for each beam identifier in the beam set, based on the corresponding 3GPP NTN cell, it determines the allocated downlink frequency and downlink bandwidth of the corresponding 3GPP NTN cell in the 3GPP NTN from the granted bandwidth resources; The uplink frequency, downlink frequency, uplink bandwidth, and downlink bandwidth allocated in the 3GPP NTN cell determine the configuration information of the corresponding 3GPP NTN baseband.

[0101] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an exemplary resource sharing process provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, taking the first baseband module as a 3GPP NTN baseband and the second baseband module as a DVB-S2 / RCS baseband as an example, the discussion is carried out by establishing an interactive interface between the 3GPP NTN baseband and the DVB-S2 / RCS baseband to realize communication between the 3GPP NTN baseband and the DVB-S2 / RCS baseband. The specific implementation process is as follows: The 3GPP NTN baseband sends a network deployment information request to the terrestrial operator's core network and receives the geographical location information and coverage area information from the terrestrial operator's core network in response to the network deployment information request; it also sends a parameter acquisition request to the DVB-S2 / RCS baseband through an interactive interface and receives the satellite platform parameters from the DVB-S2 / RCS baseband in response to the parameter acquisition request; after obtaining the geographical location information, coverage area information, and satellite platform parameters, it determines the resource requirement information based on the obtained information, and then sends the resource requirement information to the DVB-S2 / RCS baseband through the interactive interface, and receives the resource authorization result from the DVB-S2 / RCS baseband in response to the resource request. After obtaining the resource authorization result, which includes the authorized resource information, it allocates the authorized bandwidth resources in the 3GPP NTN and sends them to the 3GPP NTN converged terminal through broadcast or system messages, so that the 3GPP NTN converged terminal can access the authorized bandwidth resources according to the received broadcast or system messages.
