Description

Technical Field

[0002] Industrial Internet of Things refers to the technology that uses smart sensors and actuators to enhance manufacturing and industrial processes. It is widely used in many industries. Industrial Internet of Things devices can collect, monitor and process data in real time to improve production efficiency, reduce costs, optimize processes and predict maintenance needs. The application range of Industrial Internet of Things devices is very wide, including manufacturing, energy industry, agriculture and animal husbandry, and smart environmental protection.

[0003] With the popularization of IoT technology, industrial IoT devices have gradually upgraded from traditional manual single-machine control to IoT networking control to achieve large-scale cluster control. For example, taking the GT (green tooth) 1.0 protocol as an example, industrial IoT devices can be used as terminal nodes to network with management nodes, so that management nodes can control the networked terminal nodes, such as the work of multiple industrial IoT devices, through the green tooth protocol, such as controlling the time to perform test operations, what type of test operations to perform, and when to report test results.

[0037] For ease of understanding, the technical terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are first introduced below.

[0038] 1. Star flash, also known as GT (green tooth):

[0039] As the last link of information dissemination, wireless short-range communication technology plays a huge role in all aspects of social life. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are currently the main solutions for near-field wireless communication, but the standards between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are separate. Bluetooth focuses on low power consumption, while Wi-Fi pursues high speed. They each have their own advantages but are not compatible. However, "Star Flash" has been designed to be a standard with multiple modes[1]. At the 2023 Huawei HDC conference, there was a GIF: the two icons of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi changed and merged into the icon of Star Flash.

[0040] The Xingshan access layer provides two communication interfaces, SLB and SLE, for the Xingshan upper layer. Among them, SLB adopts multiple technologies such as ultra-short frames, multi-point synchronization, two-way authentication, fast interference coordination, two-way authentication encryption, and cross-layer scheduling optimization to support business scenarios with low latency (20us), high reliability, precise synchronization, high concurrency, and high security transmission requirements. SLE uses Polar channel coding to improve transmission reliability, reduce retransmissions and save power consumption. It also supports a maximum transmission bandwidth of 4MHz, a maximum of 8PSK modulation, 1-to-many reliable multicast, 4KHz short-delay mutual, secure pairing, privacy protection and other features. While ensuring transmission efficiency as much as possible, it fully considers energy-saving factors and is used to carry business scenarios with low power consumption requirements. SLB and SLE provide different transmission services for different business requirements. The two complement each other and evolve continuously and smoothly according to business needs.

In the specific implementation process, the desired indication method can be selected according to specific needs. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the selected indication method. In this way, the indication method involved in the embodiment of the present application should be understood to cover various methods that can enable the party to be indicated to obtain the information to be indicated.

[0044] It should be understood that the information to be indicated can be sent as a whole, or divided into multiple sub-information and sent separately, and the sending period and / or sending time of these sub-information can be the same or different. The specific sending method is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

For example, at least one of a, b and c, or at least one of a, b or c, can represent: a, b, c, ab, ac, bc, or abc, where a, b, c can be single or multiple. In addition, in order to facilitate the clear description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, in the embodiments of the present application, the words "first", "second" and the like are used to distinguish the same items or similar items with substantially the same functions and effects.

A person of ordinary skill in the art can appreciate that with the evolution of the network architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0050] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, first Figure 1 The control system shown in the example is used to describe in detail the control system applicable to the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the architecture of a control system applicable to the method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the control system may include: a management node and a terminal node.

[0052] Exemplarily, the management nodes may include management nodes 301a to 301c, and the terminal nodes may include terminal nodes 302a to 302f. The terminal nodes may be connected to the management nodes in a wireless manner.

[0053] Among them, the management node and the terminal node can exchange information.

[0054] Both the management node and the terminal node can be a terminal with transceiver functions, or can be a chip or chip system set in the terminal. The terminal can also be called user equipment (UE), access terminal, subscriber unit, user station, mobile station (MS), mobile station, remote station, remote terminal, mobile device, user terminal, terminal, wireless communication device, user agent or user device. The terminal nodes in the embodiments of the present application may be mobile phones, cellular phones, smart phones, tablet computers, wireless data cards, personal digital assistants (PDAs), wireless modems, handheld devices (handsets), laptop computers, machine type communication (MTC) terminals, computers with wireless transceiver functions, virtual reality (VR) terminals, augmented reality (AR) terminals, smart home devices (e.g., refrigerators, televisions, air conditioners, electric meters, etc.), intelligent robots, robotic arms, workshop equipment, wireless terminals in unmanned driving, wireless terminals in industrial control, wireless terminals in self-driving, wireless terminals in telemedicine, wireless terminals in smart grids, wireless terminals in transportation safety, wireless terminals in smart cities, wireless terminals in smart homes, vehicle-mounted terminals, roadside units with terminal functions, etc. unit, RSU), etc., flying equipment (for example, intelligent robots, hot air balloons, drones, airplanes), etc. The terminal node of the present application may also be an on-board module, on-board module, on-board component, on-board chip or on-board unit that is built into the vehicle as one or more components or units. The terminal node may also be other devices with terminal functions. For example, the terminal node may also be a device that serves as a terminal function in D2D communication. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the device form of the terminal node. The device for realizing the function of the terminal may be a terminal node; it may also be a device that can support the terminal to realize the function, such as a chip system. The device may be installed in the terminal or used in combination with the terminal. In the embodiments of the present application, the chip system may be composed of chips, or may include chips and other discrete devices.

[0055] In the embodiments of the present application, an example in which the terminal node is in the form of an industrial Internet of Things device (specifically, a universal testing machine) is used for introduction.

[0056] The terminal node is provided with multiple antenna panels (pannels), such as M antenna panels. Each of the M antenna panels can transmit or receive multiple beams in different directions, which are called multiple beams of the antenna panel.

[0057] A beam is a special directional transmission or reception effect formed by the transmitter or receiver of a network device or terminal through an antenna array, similar to the beam formed by a flashlight converging light in one direction. Sending and receiving signals in the form of a beam can effectively increase the transmission distance of the signal. The beam used for communication between terminals can also be called a side beam.

[0058] The beam may be a wide beam, a narrow beam, or other types of beams. The beam forming technology may be a beam forming technology or other technologies. The beam forming technology may specifically be a digital beam forming technology, an analog beam forming technology, or a hybrid digital / analog beam forming technology.

[0059] Beams generally correspond to resources. For example, when performing beam measurement, the network device measures different beams through different resources, and the terminal feeds back the measured resource quality, so that the network device can know the quality of the corresponding beam. During data transmission, the beam can also be indicated by its corresponding resource. For example, the network device indicates a transmission configuration indication-state through the transmission configuration index (TCI) field in the downlink control information (DCI), and the terminal determines the beam corresponding to the reference resource based on the reference resource contained in the TCI-state.

[0060] The beam can be specifically characterized as a digital beam, an analog beam, a spatial domain filter, a spatial filter, a spatial parameter, TCI, a TCI-state, etc. A beam used to send a signal can be called a transmission beam (or Tx beam), a spatial domain transmission filter, a spatial transmission filter, a spatial domain transmission parameter, a spatial transmission parameter, etc. A beam used to receive a signal can be called a reception beam (or Rx beam), a spatial domain reception filter, a spatial reception filter, a spatial domain reception parameter, a spatial reception parameter, etc.

[0061] It can be understood that the embodiments of the present application are uniformly described using beams, but beams can be replaced by other equivalent concepts and are not limited to the concepts mentioned above.

[0062] The following will be combined Figure 2 , the interaction process between the devices in the above system is specifically introduced through the method embodiment. The industrial Internet of Things device control method based on 5g network provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the above control system, which is specifically introduced below.

[0063] Figure 2 A flow chart of an industrial IoT device control method based on a 5G network provided in an embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the flow of the industrial IoT device control method based on a 5G network is as follows:

[0064] S201, the management node obtains the experimental time periods of M industrial Internet of Things devices.

[0065] M is an integer greater than 2, and the industrial Internet of Things device is a terminal node configured to be managed by the management node, that is, M industrial Internet of Things devices are respectively used as terminal nodes, and a total of M terminal nodes can be networked with the management node through the GT protocol 1.0. In this way, the management node can instruct the terminal node that receives the broadcast to report its own capability information by broadcasting. In this way, the M industrial Internet of Things devices can send the capability information of the M industrial Internet of Things devices to the management node, and correspondingly, the management node can receive the capability information sent by the M industrial Internet of Things devices, wherein the capability information of the M industrial Internet of Things devices can be used to indicate the experimental time period of the M industrial Internet of Things devices, and at least part of the experimental time period of the M industrial Internet of Things devices is a periodic time period. For example, the experimental time period of industrial Internet of Things device #1 is from t1 to t2, the experimental time period of industrial Internet of Things device #2 is from t3 to t4, and the experimental time period of industrial Internet of Things device #3 is from t1 to t3 each time and the interval between two adjacent times is Δt, that is, a periodic time period, and the period is (t1, t3) + Δt.

[0066] S202, the management node determines N1 industrial Internet of Things devices related to the experimental time period from the M industrial Internet of Things devices according to the experimental time periods of the M industrial Internet of Things devices.

[0067] N1 is an integer greater than 1 and less than or equal to M. The N1 industrial Internet of Things devices related to the experimental time period refer to the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices whose experimental time periods overlap with each other, and there is no industrial Internet of Things device with an isolated experimental time period among the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices. In other words, among the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices, the experimental time period of each industrial Internet of Things device at least partially overlaps with the experimental time period of at least one industrial Internet of Things device. After obtaining the capability information of each of the M industrial Internet of Things devices, the management node can determine the overlapping relationship of the experimental time periods of the M industrial Internet of Things devices based on this, and thus determine the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices based on the overlapping relationship of the experimental time periods of the M industrial Internet of Things devices. For example, in one possible implementation, for M industrial Internet of Things devices, i traverses 1 to M-2, and the management node can determine whether the experimental time period of the i-th industrial Internet of Things device overlaps at least partially with the experimental time period of the i+1-th industrial Internet of Things device. If so, the management node determines whether the experimental time period of the i+1-th industrial Internet of Things device overlaps at least partially with the experimental time period of the i+2-th industrial Internet of Things device. Otherwise, the management node determines whether the experimental time period of the i-th industrial Internet of Things device overlaps at least partially with the experimental time period of the i+2-th industrial Internet of Things device, and so on, until the M industrial Internet of Things devices are traversed by the management node, and the management node determines the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices related to the experimental time period. Taking 6 industrial Internet of Things devices as an example, according to the indexes of the 6 industrial Internet of Things devices from small to large, the management node first determines whether the experimental time period of the first industrial Internet of Things device overlaps at least partially with that of the second industrial Internet of Things device. If not, the management node then determines whether the experimental time period of the first industrial Internet of Things device overlaps at least partially with that of the third industrial Internet of Things device. If so, the management node then determines whether the experimental time period of the third industrial Internet of Things device overlaps at least partially with that of the second industrial Internet of Things device. If not, the management node then determines whether the experimental time period of the third industrial Internet of Things device overlaps at least partially with that of the fourth industrial Internet of Things device, and so on, until all industrial Internet of Things devices with at least partial overlap in experimental time periods are determined.

[0068] S203: The management node sends first configuration information to N1 industrial Internet of Things devices, where the first configuration information is used to indicate that the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices share the same first DRX cycle.

[0069] Each cycle in the first discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle can include a first activation period and a first sleep period. The first sleep period includes the experimental time periods of N1 industrial Internet of Things devices. That is, the experimental time periods of N1 industrial Internet of Things devices overlap, and the management node can determine the overlapping time period, that is, the union of the experimental time periods of N1 industrial Internet of Things devices, and then determine the first sleep period that can cover the entire union, and place the first activation period at the end of the first sleep period, that is, the first activation period of the previous cycle is received, that is, entering the first sleep period of the next cycle. N1 industrial Internet of Things devices can report the experimental results of each of the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices to the management node during the first activation period.

[0070] The experimental time period of the industrial Internet of Things device is a time period configured for the industrial Internet of Things device to perform at least one of the following operations on the tested material: stretching, compression, bending, peeling, or shearing; the first dormant period includes the experimental time period of each of the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices, which means that when the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices are each performing at least one operation, the communication between the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices and the management node is in a dormant state, and accordingly, the management node does not monitor whether there is any information from the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices during the first dormant period, thereby reducing the power consumption of both parties.

[0071] The first configuration information can also be used to indicate the first communication opportunity during the first activation period. After the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices perform at least one operation on the tested material, the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices can send the operation results of the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices during the first communication opportunity during the first activation period. Accordingly, the management node receives the operation results sent by the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices at the first communication opportunity during the first activation period, and receives a total of N1 operation results. Each of the N1 operation results is the result obtained by an industrial Internet of Things device corresponding to the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices performing at least one operation on the tested material. In other words, by configuring the first communication opportunity, the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices can centrally report various operation results to the management node, which is equivalent to saying that although there are N1 industrial Internet of Things devices communicating with the management node, the management node only needs to perform one reception to obtain the operation results of the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices.

[0072] Optionally, the management node locally maintains beam correspondences between the management node and N1 industrial Internet of Things devices, a total of N1 beam correspondences, and the j-th beam correspondence among the N1 beam correspondences is used to indicate that the best receiving beam #j corresponds to the best transmitting beam #j, and the best receiving beam #j is the best receiving beam used by the management node to communicate with the j-th industrial Internet of Things device among the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices, and the best transmitting beam #j is the best transmitting beam used by the j-th industrial Internet of Things device to communicate with the management node, and j is an integer from 1 to N1. The number of N1 beam correspondences indicates a one-to-one correspondence between N1 optimal receiving beams and N1 optimal transmitting beams; on this basis, if the first configuration information indicates the first communication opportunity within the first activation period, the management node determines the N1 optimal transmitting beams as a target optimal transmitting beam, and merges multiple beams with consistent indexes in the N1 best receiving beams into one, to obtain N2 best receiving beams, where N2 is a positive integer less than N1, thereby replacing the N1 beam correspondence with the target optimal transmitting beam corresponding to the N2 best receiving beams. In other words, although the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices can each use their own optimal transmitting beam to send their own operation results to the management node, since the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices send beams at the same time at the first communication opportunity, that is, the N1 best transmitting beams are generated at the same time, they can be logically regarded as one beam, that is, the target optimal transmitting beam. At this time, the N1 one-to-one correspondence can be replaced by a one-to-many correspondence between the target optimal transmitting beam and the N1 optimal receiving beams. On this basis, since there are beams with repeated indexes in the N1 optimal receiving beams, and since the N1 best receiving beams are used for reception at the same time, the N1 best receiving beams can also be simplified to N2 best receiving beams. For example, there are 6 N1 best receiving beams, namely beam #1, beam #3, beam #1, beam #4, beam #3, and beam #1. The simplified N2 best receiving beams are beam #1, beam #3, beam #1, and beam #4, which are 3 beams. This can simplify the correspondence between the beams and reduce maintenance costs.

[0073] Optionally, in S202, the management node may also determine N2 industrial Internet of Things devices based on the overlapping relationship between the experimental time periods of the M industrial Internet of Things devices. The N2 industrial Internet of Things devices are different from the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices, and the experimental time periods of the N2 industrial Internet of Things devices are different from the experimental time periods of the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices; among the N2 industrial Internet of Things devices, the experimental time period of each industrial Internet of Things device at least partially overlaps with the experimental time period of at least one industrial Internet of Things device. In addition, the principle of determining the N2 industrial Internet of Things devices is similar to the above-mentioned determination of the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices, which can be understood as that in one traversal, at least two clusters with overlapping time periods are determined respectively.

[0074] Therefore, the management node sends the second configuration information to the N2 industrial Internet of Things devices, and the second configuration information is used to indicate that the N2 industrial Internet of Things devices share the same second DRX cycle, the second DRX cycle includes a second activation period and a second dormancy period, the second dormancy period includes the respective experimental time periods of the N2 industrial Internet of Things devices, and the N2 industrial Internet of Things devices can report the respective experimental results of the N2 industrial Internet of Things devices to the management node during the second activation period. The management node determines the second configuration information in a similar manner to the first configuration information, and will not be repeated here.

[0075] Optionally, if the second activation period partially overlaps with the first activation period, the management node determines the first communication opportunity in the time period in which the second activation period partially overlaps with the first activation period. That is, two clusters that do not overlap in the experimental time period may report their own operation results to the management node together because of the partial overlap in the activation period.

[0076] At this time, the second configuration information is also used to indicate the first communication opportunity within the second activation period; the management node locally maintains beam correspondences between the management node and N2 industrial Internet of Things devices, a total of N2 beam correspondences, the sth beam correspondence among the N2 beam correspondences is used to indicate that the best receiving beam #s corresponds to the best transmitting beam #s, the best receiving beam #s is the best receiving beam used for communication between the management node and the sth industrial Internet of Things device among the N2 industrial Internet of Things devices, the best transmitting beam #s is the best transmitting beam used for communication between the sth industrial Internet of Things device and the management node, s is an integer from 1 to N2, and the N2 beam correspondences indicate a one-to-one correspondence between N2 best receiving beams and N2 best transmitting beams. On this basis, if the second configuration information indicates the second communication opportunity within the second activation period, the management node also determines the N1 best transmission beams and the N2 best transmission beams as a target best transmission beam, and merges multiple beams with consistent indexes in the N1 best receiving beams and the N2 best transmission beams into one, to obtain N3 best receiving beams, where N3 is a positive integer less than N1 and N2, thereby replacing the correspondence between the N1 beams and the N2 beams with the correspondence between the target best transmission beam and the N3 best receiving beams, so as to further simplify the correspondence between the beams.

[0077] In summary, the management node can determine N1 industrial Internet of Things devices related to the experimental time period from the M industrial Internet of Things devices according to their respective experimental time periods, and configure the same first DRX cycle for the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices. In this way, the N1 industrial Internet of Things devices can all perform experiments in the first dormant period of the first DRX cycle without communicating with the management node, avoiding the overhead caused by their respective communications, and can also communicate with the management node in the first activation period of the first DRX cycle, thereby ensuring the consistency of interaction and reducing the number of interactive controls, so that efficient control can be achieved in the scenario of large-scale networking of industrial Internet of Things devices.
