[0075] The technical solutions of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present disclosure described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0076] In related approaches, random selection is often used to select communication links for dielectric constant estimation. However, this approach can result in poor dielectric constant estimation performance. Therefore, optimizing the selection of communication links for measuring data based on dielectric constant estimation is a challenge that needs to be addressed.

[0077] Based on the defects of the above-mentioned related technologies, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, apparatus, device, storage medium and product for selecting a communication link, aiming to optimize the selection of a communication link for measuring data.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for selecting a communication link is provided, which can be applied to electronic devices. The present disclosure does not limit the type of electronic device, and it can be any type of device suitable for implementation, such as a terminal device and a server, etc. The present disclosure will not elaborate on this.

[0079] See Figure 1 As shown, this is a top view of a target measurement environment. Figure 1In the target communication environment, signal transmitters, signal receivers, and buildings (i.e., environmental objects) are included. Each surface of a building has a corresponding dielectric constant parameter. For example, if both the signal transmitter and the signal receiver are ground equipment (GE), the GE is marked with a solid five-pointed star, and the height of each building is marked in meters at the top of the building. There can be one or more signal transmitters and receivers. Communication links are less affected by the dielectric constant parameters of building surfaces farther away from them. Therefore, this simulation scenario uses a 150m×150m urban area with a total of seven buildings, all ranging in height from 15m to 40m. Considering the electromagnetic characteristics of different surfaces within the same building and the limited precision of environmental geometry modeling, it is assumed that each building surface is characterized by an equivalent relative dielectric constant parameter.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for selecting a communication link is used to select at least one communication link from a link measurement set in a target communication environment as a target communication link for path loss measurement; each communication link includes a signal transmitting device and a signal receiving device; the target communication environment also includes a link estimation set, and the method includes:

[0081] The invention relates to a method for determining a first path loss expression for a communication link in a link measurement set, wherein the first path loss expression is constructed based on the link parameters of the communication link and the physical environment information of the communication link. The method further comprises: obtaining link parameters of each communication link in a target communication environment and physical environment information of the target communication environment, wherein the physical environment information includes a plurality of dielectric constant parameters; constructing a first path loss expression corresponding to the communication link for each communication link in a link measurement set, based on the link parameters of the communication link and the physical environment information; constructing a second path loss expression corresponding to the communication link for each communication link in a link estimation set, based on the link parameters of the communication link and the physical environment information; solving an optimal solution of an objective function of operations research optimization based on the first path loss expression and the second path loss expression, and determining a target communication link; wherein the optimal solution is a subset of communication links selected from the link measurement set, wherein each communication link in the subset of communication links is used as a target communication link, and the optimal solution minimizes a total estimation error of a second path loss of the link estimation set estimated based on the first path loss of the target communication link.

[0082] The link parameters include: a first antenna gain of a signal transmitting device, a second antenna gain of a signal receiving device, and a transmission power.

[0083] The following combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 For a detailed description of the above method, see Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for selecting a communication link according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The specific implementation process of the method is as follows:

[0084] Step 201: Acquire the first antenna gain of each signal transmitting device, the second antenna gain of each signal receiving device, and physical environment information of the target communication environment in a target communication environment; the physical environment information includes a plurality of dielectric constant parameters.

[0085] The physical environment information includes: the target communication environment's geometric modeling, Benv, and ray interaction information for each communication link. The environmental geometric modeling represents the location (e.g., geographic location) and shape (e.g., building shape) of environmental objects within the target communication environment. Ray interaction information includes the coordinates and interaction types of the interaction points between multiple rays of the communication link and the target communication environment, and refers to the geometric information χ of the interaction between the rays and the environment during ray tracing. Each signal transmitting device and each signal receiving device constitutes a path loss measurement system. The location of each device in the system can be set based on the actual application scenario and is not limited here.

[0086] Step 202: Divide the communication links corresponding to each device combination into a link measurement set and a link estimation set; the device combination includes a signal sending device and a signal receiving device.

[0087] The link measurement set and the link estimation set both contain at least one communication link.

[0088] The link measurement set is a set of communication links that can be measured, and the link estimation set is a set of communication links that need to be predicted.

[0089] Step 203: Construct a first path loss expression for determining the corresponding first path loss according to the first antenna gain, the second antenna gain, the transmit power, and the physical environment information corresponding to each communication link in the link measurement set.

[0090] Optionally, the path loss can be Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP). In practical applications, path loss can also be measured by other parameters, which are not limited here. The RSRP of each communication link is positively correlated with the corresponding first antenna gain, second antenna gain, transmit power, and path energy gain; the path energy gain is determined based on environmental geometry modeling, the device positions of the signal transmitting and receiving devices, ray interaction information, and various dielectric constant parameters.

[0091] In one implementation, the first path loss expression may be:

[0092]

[0093] Where i represents the serial number of the communication link in the link measurement set, Ri represents the first path loss of communication link i, represents the RSRP estimate of communication link i in the decibel (dB) domain, P i represents the transmission power of communication link i, G tx,i and G rx,i are the first antenna gain of the signal transmitting device and the second antenna gain of the signal receiving device corresponding to the communication link i, respectively, g l,i represents the path energy gain of communication link i in decibels (db), which is the superposition of different ray energies. j is the ray number, J is the total number of rays of communication link i, v i is the device location of the signal sending device corresponding to communication link i, u i is the device position of the signal receiving device corresponding to communication link i, λ represents the carrier wavelength, Represents physical environment information, w i It represents the Gaussian error between the reference signal received power and the actual reference signal received power of communication link i.

[0094] Among them, w i The variance is The normal distribution, This error may come from various sources, such as measurement errors caused by the signal transmitting device and the signal receiving device, disturbances in the measurement environment, and multipath components that are not taken into account. It is considered as the Gaussian error of the average RSRP of the measured RSRPs of multiple communication links, rather than the error of a single RSRP.

[0095] In the embodiment of the present application, since the average received power is considered in each communication link, and the phase of the multipath mainly affects the small-scale channel state rather than the average received power, when calculating the reference signal received power of the communication link, it is approximately considered that the impact of the multipath component on the path loss is the superposition of these ray energies. The environmental geometric modeling and ray interaction information are used to determine the multipath information of different communication links in order to calculate g l,i The dielectric constant parameter is a parameter that needs to be estimated through path loss. The environmental geometry modeling, ray interaction information, and the dielectric constant parameter affect the reflection and diffraction of rays.

[0096] In the function g l,i In the ray calculation involved, three basic rays under the vertical polarization of the antenna are considered: direct rays, reflected rays and diffracted rays. It should be noted that g l,iIt also includes rays that interact with the environment multiple times, such as those that undergo multiple reflections or are diffracted and reflected simultaneously. Note that the multipath information and g of ray tracing can be obtained offline by modeling the environment geometry. l,i Explicit calculation formula for .

[0097] Step 204: Construct a second path loss expression for determining the corresponding second path loss based on the first antenna gain, the second antenna gain, the transmit power, and the physical environment information corresponding to each communication link in the link estimation set.

[0098] Among them, the second path loss expression can be constructed based on a principle similar to the first path loss expression, which will not be described in detail here.

[0099] Step 205: Solve the objective function based on the first path loss expression corresponding to at least one communication link in the link measurement set and the second path loss expression corresponding to at least one communication link in the link estimation set to obtain the optimal solution of the objective function.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 3 , the principle of estimating the path loss of the communication links in the link estimation set based on the communication links in the link measurement set is explained. Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a path loss estimation principle.

[0101] Figure 3 In the embodiment, one or more communication links are selected from the link measurement set on the left to construct a communication link subset, and the dielectric constant parameters are used as the medium. Based on the first path loss of each communication link in the communication link subset, the path loss of the communication links in the link estimation set is estimated, and then the total estimation error of the path loss of the link estimation set can be determined.

[0102] Optionally, the objective function can be:

[0103]

[0104] Optimal solution It can be:

[0105]

[0106] Where H represents the total estimation error, represents the expectation function, i represents the serial number of the communication link in the link measurement set, R i represents the first path loss of communication link i, k represents the sequence number of the communication link in the link estimation set, A krepresents the second path loss of communication link k, C represents the second path loss set corresponding to the link estimation set, V represents the communication link subset variable, h i→k is a single sample mutual prediction function, which means that the dielectric constant parameter is used as the medium, based on R i Estimated A k The estimation error.

[0107] The estimated error can be Cramer-Rao Bound (CRLB) variance, the optimal single sample mutual prediction function The physical meaning is based on the communication link subset A k The expected CRLB is the smallest. The physical meaning of the objective function is: optimize the communication link subset so that the optimal single-sample mutual prediction function of the path loss of each communication link in the link estimation set is The sum of expected CRLB is the smallest.

[0108] In this way, by calculating the single sample mutual prediction function h i→k , the optimal subset of communication links can be solved, which can greatly simplify the computational complexity of the solution algorithm.

[0109] Optionally, the constraint conditions may include: the value range of each dielectric constant parameter is a set of set parameter values; and the number of communication links in the communication link subset is not higher than a number threshold.

[0110] In one implementation, the constraints of the objective function can be expressed as:

[0111]

[0112] Where T represents the quantity threshold, which is a positive integer, such as 5. Represents the link measurement set, N is the total number of communication links in the link measurement set. m is the serial number of the dielectric constant parameter, ∈ m represents the mth dielectric constant parameter, m and M are positive integers, M is the total number of dielectric constant parameters, Represents ∈ m The corresponding set of parameter values. In actual applications, the quantity threshold can be set according to the actual application scenario and is not limited here.

[0113] Among them, the single sample mutual prediction function h i→k According to R i The Jacobian matrix of A k The Jacobian matrix is ​​determined.

[0114] R i The Jacobian matrix of is:

[0115]

[0116] A k The Jacobian matrix of is:

[0117]

[0118] Among them, the physical meaning of the single sample mutual prediction function is based on the dielectric constant parameter. i Estimated A k The CRLB composite function form can be expressed as follows:

[0119]

[0120] Furthermore, in order to prevent There is no inverse matrix when the dielectric constant parameter is far beyond the measured data, that is, In the case of singularity itself, we can also add a unit matrix with diagonal elements tending to zero to ensure that it is positive and reversible. Therefore, the single-sample mutual prediction function can also use the following formula:

[0121]

[0122] Where D is the M*M identity matrix and c is the coefficient.

[0123] Because h i→k as well as There is no closed-form solution, so the N-Rooks sampling method in Monte Carlo integration can be used to approximate Points:

[0124]

[0125] Among them, p() represents the probability function, b m represents the upper bound of the error, a m represents the lower bound of the error, q represents the numerical sequence number in the set of set parameter values, and Q represents the total number of numerical values ​​in the set of set parameter values.

[0126] Step 206: Determine a communication link in the communication link subset as a target communication link for path loss measurement.

[0127] Furthermore, after selecting T target communication links, path loss measurement can be performed through each target communication link in an actual measurement scenario to obtain the path loss measurement value of each target communication link, and based on each path loss measurement value, the value of each dielectric constant parameter, that is, the dielectric constant parameter value, can also be called the dielectric constant.

[0128] Furthermore, assuming that the total number of communication links in the target communication environment is sum (e.g., 1837), the path loss estimation values ​​of other communication links (i.e., sum-T communication links) in the target communication environment can also be calculated based on the values ​​of each dielectric constant parameter.

[0129] Furthermore, path loss measurements (i.e., path loss measurements) can be used to obtain path loss measurement values ​​of other communication links in the target communication environment, and based on each path loss estimate and its corresponding path loss measurement value, each path loss prediction error is determined, and then the average path loss prediction error is determined, which can also be called the mean absolute error (MAE) of the path loss prediction.

[0130] The following combination Figure 4 , a comparison of the path loss prediction performance of communication links selected based on various methods is given. Refer to Figure 4, which is a comparison chart of path loss prediction performance. Figure 4 The horizontal axis is the number T of communication links selected for measurement, and the vertical axis is the average path loss prediction error, that is, the path loss prediction performance.

[0131] In traditional methods, a random selection strategy is usually adopted to select communication links for path loss measurement, and then calibrate the dielectric constant parameters. Based on the dielectric constant parameter values ​​obtained by calibration, the path loss is estimated multiple times (for example, 10 times) to determine the average path loss prediction error.

[0132] Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that after calibrating the dielectric constant parameter values ​​using the method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, the average road loss prediction error based on the dielectric constant parameter values ​​has an upper bound relative to the road loss prediction error of 4.88dB when predicting based on the dielectric constant of all concrete settings, and a lower bound relative to the road loss prediction error of 3.275dB when predicting based on the full (e.g., 1837) road loss data set to calibrate the dielectric constant parameter values. The road loss prediction performance using the method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure is far superior to that of prediction using a random selection strategy.

[0133] Furthermore, when T ≤ 5, the path loss prediction errors of the two methods are not significantly different. As T increases, the method of the disclosed embodiment has a significant performance advantage over the random selection strategy, while approaching the lower bound of the relative error. However, the random selection strategy shows a significantly slower reduction in path loss prediction error as T increases. The measurement overhead of selecting and measuring the path loss of 40 communication links is four times that of selecting and measuring the path loss of 10 communication links in the method of the disclosed embodiment. However, its path loss prediction performance is still inferior to that of the method of the disclosed embodiment.

[0134] Based on the same inventive concept, a device for selecting a communication link is also provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Since the principle of solving the problem by the above-mentioned device and equipment is similar to that of a method for selecting a communication link, the implementation of the above-mentioned device can refer to the implementation of the method, and the repeated parts will not be repeated. The device can be applied to electronic devices. The present disclosure does not limit the type of electronic device. It can be any type of device suitable for implementation, such as terminal devices and servers, etc. The present disclosure will not repeat them. The device embodiment can be implemented by software, or by hardware or a combination of software and hardware. Taking software implementation as an example, as a device in a logical sense, it is formed by the processor of the electronic device in which it is located reading the corresponding computer program instructions in the non-volatile memory into the internal memory for execution.
