[0025] Field of View (FOV): This refers to the angular range that a sensor or antenna can cover. For millimeter-wave communication systems, the FOV represents the spatial range in which the antenna can effectively transmit or receive signals. In wireless communication, especially millimeter-wave communication, the size of the FOV directly affects key performance indicators such as signal coverage, signal strength, and interference level.

[0034] Under the above operating environment, this application embodiment provides a base station field of view adjustment method. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a method for adjusting the field of view of a base station according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0035] Step S202: Determine the base station spacing and base station height between millimeter-wave base stations in the low-altitude sensing network, wherein the low-altitude sensing network includes multiple millimeter-wave base stations with interconnected signal coverage areas.
[0036] Step S204: If the drone device is detected within the sensing area of the millimeter-wave base station, determine the drone altitude of the drone device;
[0037] Step S206: Based on the distance between base stations, the height of the base stations, and the height of the UAV, determine the target field of view corresponding to the millimeter-wave base station. The target field of view is theoretically the angle at which the signal strength of the signal transmitted from the antenna of the millimeter-wave base station to the UAV is the greatest.
[0038] Step S208: Determine and set the field of view range corresponding to the millimeter-wave base station based on the main lobe scanning range of the antenna and the target field of view.
[0039] Through the above steps, by dynamically adjusting the field of view (FOV) of the millimeter-wave base station based on information such as its altitude and location, combined with the altitude of the drones sensed in the area, the continuity of aerial coverage is ensured, signal interference between base stations is reduced, and the overall communication performance of the network is improved. This solves the technical problem of poor continuity and reliability of low-altitude signal coverage caused by the fixed field of view of millimeter-wave base stations in related technologies.
[0040] The method for adjusting the field of view of the base station in steps S202 to S208 of the embodiments of this application will be further described below.
[0041] First, it is necessary to confirm the inter-base station spacing (ISD) and base station height (h) corresponding to the millimeter-wave base stations in the low-altitude sensing network. In this embodiment, multiple millimeter-wave base stations can be deployed in the low-altitude sensing network according to the required coverage height (e.g., 300 meters) to ensure seamless connection of signal coverage areas between base stations. Using high-gain directional antennas ensures wireless coverage in terms of signal propagation distance and coverage area at low altitudes.
[0042] When a drone is detected within the sensing area of a millimeter-wave base station, the altitude of the detected drone is determined to be H. Then, the optimal field of view (FoV) of the millimeter-wave antenna (i.e., the target field of view) can be determined based on the base station spacing ISD, the base station height h, and the drone altitude H. The specific steps are as follows.
[0043] In some embodiments of this application, determining the target field of view corresponding to a millimeter-wave base station based on the base station spacing, base station height, and UAV height includes the following steps: calculating the difference between the UAV height and the base station height to obtain a first parameter; determining a second parameter based on the base station spacing and a preset adjustment coefficient; and determining the target field of view using an inverse trigonometric function based on the first and second parameters.
[0044] Specifically, the principle of field of view calculation is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the formula for calculating the optimal field of view (FoV) is as follows: Wherein, Hh is the first parameter mentioned above. The second parameter mentioned above, taking an ISD of 1km, a UAV altitude of H of 300m, and a base station altitude of h of 30m as an example, calculates the optimal field of view (FoV) for airborne targets to be 40°.
[0045] After determining the target field of view (optimal field of view), the field of view (FOV) range corresponding to the millimeter-wave base station can be determined and set based on the main lobe scanning range of the antenna of the millimeter-wave base station. The specific steps are as follows.
[0046] In some embodiments of this application, the main lobe scanning range includes: a vertical beam width of 3dB; determining and setting the field of view range corresponding to the millimeter-wave base station based on the main lobe scanning range corresponding to the antenna of the millimeter-wave base station and the target field of view includes the following steps: determining the vertical beam width of the antenna of the millimeter-wave base station of 3dB; determining the angle range offset vertically and vertically by 3dB from the target field of view as the center as the field of view range, wherein the upper limit of the angle of the field of view range is equal to the sum of the target field of view and the vertical beam width of 3dB, and the lower limit of the angle of the field of view range is equal to the difference between the target field of view and the vertical beam width of 3dB.
[0047] Specifically, an antenna device with an adjustable field of view can be used. Considering the main lobe scanning range, the antenna's air-to-ground angle range can be calculated and adjusted. For example, if the vertical beam width is 3dB and the range is Δ, then the calculated field of view range (FOV Range) of the millimeter-wave antenna is (FOV-Δ, FOV+Δ) to ensure a uniform distribution of signal strength within the coverage area.
[0048] When sensing changes in drone altitude, the above steps can be repeated based on real-time data to dynamically adjust the field of view and ensure continuous signal coverage. In addition, when multiple drones at different altitudes are detected, i.e., when multiple drone devices are detected within the sensing area of the millimeter-wave base station, the field of view range at each altitude can be calculated separately, and the maximum range can be taken as the field of view setting of the base station to achieve signal coverage for all drones. The specific steps are as follows.
[0049] In some embodiments of this application, the method further includes the following steps: when multiple drone devices are detected within the sensing area of the millimeter-wave base station, determine the drone height corresponding to each drone device, and determine the field of view range corresponding to each drone device based on the drone height; determine and set the target field of view range corresponding to the millimeter-wave base station based on the field of view range corresponding to each drone device, wherein the field of view range corresponding to each drone device is included within the target field of view range.
[0050] Specifically, when the millimeter-wave integrated sensing base station senses multiple drones and different altitudes h1, h2, h3, ..., it substitutes the above-mentioned calculation formulas for the optimal field of view (FoV) and field of view range to obtain multiple field of view ranges such as FoV Range1, FoV Range2, FoV Range3, ..., performs a union operation on the multiple field of view ranges, and takes the largest range of millimeter-wave base station FoV angle (i.e., the above-mentioned target field of view range) for setting.
[0051] In addition, when there are no drones in the sensing area, since the drone altitude h cannot be obtained, the FoV Range can be calculated from the base station's default sensing altitude (i.e., the default drone altitude). The specific steps are as follows.
[0052] In some embodiments of this application, the method further includes the following steps: when no drone device is detected within the sensing area of the millimeter-wave base station, the target field of view corresponding to the millimeter-wave base station is determined based on a preset default drone altitude, and the field of view range corresponding to the millimeter-wave base station is determined and set based on the target field of view.
[0053] Taking ISD = 1km, low-altitude default altitude H = 300m, and station height h = 30m as an example, the air-to-ground FoV is calculated to be 40°. In this embodiment, when there are no drones within the sensing area, the field of view is calculated using the base station's default sensing altitude, ensuring reasonable signal coverage even in the absence of drones.
[0054] In addition, to further improve signal coverage, AI technology can be used for dynamic field-of-view optimization. By analyzing historical data, AI can predict the drone's movement path and altitude, dynamically adjust the field of view, reduce interference, and improve communication performance. Simultaneously, the base station continuously optimizes its field-of-view setting strategy through AI self-learning. The specific steps are as follows.
[0055] In some embodiments of this application, the method further includes the following steps: acquiring the movement trajectory data of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) device, wherein the movement trajectory data is used to characterize the position and altitude of the UAV device at each time moment; using a prediction model, based on the movement trajectory data, determining the position and altitude of the UAV device at the next time moment; based on the predicted position and altitude of the UAV device, determining and setting the field of view range of the millimeter-wave base station at the next time moment, and using the prediction model to correct the field of view range.
[0056] In this embodiment, the prediction model is trained based on a training dataset, which includes multiple historical movement trajectory data of multiple UAV devices, as well as the field of view range of the millimeter-wave base station corresponding to each historical moment in each historical movement trajectory data and the signal quality parameters corresponding to the field of view range. The signal quality parameters are used to characterize the quality of communication between the millimeter-wave base station and the UAV device at the historical moment when the field of view range is set.
[0057] Specifically, base stations can collect real-time data on the location, altitude, and movement trajectory of drones. Using AI algorithms combined with historical data, they analyze the existing real-time data to predict the drone's possible movement path and altitude. Based on the AI prediction results, the base station's field of view is dynamically adjusted, and antenna pointing is optimized in advance, improving response speed and signal coverage efficiency. Furthermore, AI technology can be used to monitor signal interference between base stations, dynamically adjusting the field of view and transmission power to reduce interference and improve communication performance. Simultaneously, through self-learning via AI algorithms, base stations can continuously optimize their field of view setting strategies, improving the overall communication performance and stability of the network.
[0058] In this embodiment, a millimeter-wave integrated sensing base station can first be used to continuously scan and track the drone to acquire its flight data. The collected data is preprocessed by sensing network elements, including noise reduction, filtering, and feature extraction, to improve data quality and usability for drone identification. Subsequently, the intelligent processing network elements of the base station core network train an AI algorithm using a large amount of drone flight data, enabling it to accurately identify the drone's flight patterns and characteristics. Through optimization of algorithm parameters and model structure, the accuracy and real-time performance of drone predictions are improved. The trained model is then deployed in the base station.
[0059] When a millimeter-wave base station detects and acquires drone flight data, it uses a trained AI algorithm to predict the drone's trajectory and updates the prediction results in real time. Based on the discrepancy between the drone's actual flight data and the predicted results, the algorithm parameters and prediction model are dynamically adjusted to improve prediction accuracy and robustness. Furthermore, multi-base station collaboration can enable data sharing and coordinated operation between multiple base stations for sensing and prediction, improving the accuracy of drone prediction in a networked environment. Finally, the predicted drone trajectory can be used for advance tracking and adjustment of the base station's field of view (FOV). For example, by predicting changes in drone altitude in advance, the FOV of the millimeter-wave base station can be dynamically adjusted to ensure the drone remains within the main lobe coverage area, guaranteeing communication and sensing capabilities for the drone.
[0060] This application's embodiments determine the field of view (FOV) of the millimeter-wave base station based on the base station itself and the altitude and number of drones within the area. Considering the base station's inherent AI capabilities, historical drone data is used to predict drone trajectories, allowing for pre-optimization of the millimeter-wave base station's FOV. By constraining the FOV, the signal can be concentrated in a specific area, reducing interference between adjacent nodes and improving communication quality. Simultaneously, signal energy can be concentrated, enhancing signal strength and reducing signal attenuation and instability, thereby improving communication reliability. This achieves improved communication and sensing performance while reducing interference, enhancing the sensing accuracy of millimeter-wave base stations in the air. Furthermore, by rationally controlling the FOV, the antenna's radiated energy distribution can be optimized, reducing unnecessary energy waste, lowering the energy consumption of the millimeter-wave base station, and improving system energy efficiency.
