Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to an antenna, a communication device, and a resource allocation method. Background Art

[0002] An antenna is a transducer used to transform the guided wave propagating on a transmission line into an electromagnetic wave propagating in an unbounded medium, or vice versa.

[0003] With the increasing traffic demand, multi-antenna technologies are usually adopted to improve network capacity, coverage, and reliability.

[0004] Dual-polarized antennas are commonly used antennas in current communication systems. However, dual-polarized antennas are suitable for signal coverage in a small angle range and cannot efficiently cover signals in a large angle area. By adding micro base stations, signal coverage in a large angle area can be achieved. However, the resources used by the micro base stations for signal coverage in a small angle area cannot be used for signal coverage in other areas when idle, so the resource utilization rate is low. Therefore, how to efficiently cover signals in a large angle area and efficiently utilize resources remains an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present application provides an antenna, a communication device, a resource allocation method, a resource allocation device, a communication system, a communication device, a chip module, and a computer-readable storage medium.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application relates to an antenna, including: N target array elements.

[0007] Any one target array element A among the N target array elements i includes a third-polarized antenna oscillator. For any one target array element A among the N target array elements i , when the third-polarized antenna oscillator of the target array element A i is connected to the antenna channel, the third-polarized antenna oscillator participates in forming a target beam, and the target beam is sent through the antenna. N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0008] Any one target array element A of the antenna of the present application i includes a dual-polarized antenna oscillator and a third-polarized antenna oscillator. When the third-polarized antenna oscillator is connected to the antenna channel, the third-polarized antenna oscillator participates in forming a target beam, which makes the antenna of the present application form a triple-polarized antenna, covering a larger angle area. The target beam can be sent through the antenna, and for the terminal devices in the large angle area, the target beam enables efficient communication between the terminal devices in the large angle area and the base station.

[0009] Exemplarily, the target array element A iIt further includes a dual-polarized antenna element, the target element A i The dual-polarized antenna element and the third-polarized antenna element of i correspond to the same antenna channel, and the antenna channel is connected to the dual-polarized antenna element of the target element A i through a first phase adjuster. The antenna channel is connected to the third-polarized antenna element of the target element Ai through a second phase adjuster, and the third-polarized antenna element participates in forming the target beam.

[0010] This application is about the case where the dual-polarized antenna element and the third-polarized antenna element of the target element A i correspond to the same antenna channel. When both the dual-polarized antenna element and the third-polarized antenna element of the target element A i participate in forming the beam, there is a phenomenon that the signals emitted by the target element are distorted due to phase cancellation between the dual-polarized antenna element and the third-polarized antenna element corresponding to the same antenna channel. According to the antenna of this application, the dual-polarized antenna element and the third-polarized antenna element of the target element A i are respectively connected to the same antenna channel through the first phase adjuster and the second phase adjuster, so that the signals emitted by the dual-polarized antenna element and the third-polarized antenna element can be adjusted respectively through the first phase adjuster and the second phase adjuster, avoiding the above-mentioned signal distortion of the target element due to phase cancellation, ensuring that the third-polarized antenna element can effectively participate in forming the target beam, so that the target beam formed by the third-polarized antenna element can cover a large angular range. In addition, taking the antenna of this application as an example, which is improved on the basis of a dual-polarized antenna, the antenna of this application can be obtained by only adding a third-polarized antenna element and a second phase adjuster connected to the antenna channel on the basis of the dual-polarized antenna, with lower application difficulty and cost and can be widely applied.

[0011] Exemplarily, the target element A i further includes a dual-polarized antenna element. The dual-polarized antenna element and the third-polarized antenna element of the target element A i correspond to the first antenna channel and the second antenna channel respectively. When the third-polarized antenna element of the target element A i is connected to the second antenna channel, the third-polarized antenna element participates in forming the target beam.

[0012] Different from the embodiment where the dual-polarized antenna element and the third-polarized antenna element are respectively connected to the same antenna channel through the first phase adjuster and the second phase adjuster so that the dual-polarized antenna element and the third-polarized antenna element of the target element can participate in forming the target beam, for the antenna of this application, the third-polarized antenna element of the target element A i is connected to the second antenna channel, which enables the third-polarized antenna element to participate in forming the target beam.

[0013] According to the antenna of the present application, two antenna channels (the first antenna channel and the second antenna channel) can be utilized to be respectively connected to a dual-polarized antenna element and a third-polarized antenna element, so that at least the third-polarized antenna element can participate in forming a target beam for covering a large-angle area. Taking the antenna of the present application as an example, which is improved on the basis of a dual-polarized antenna, the antenna of the present application can be obtained by only adding a third-polarized antenna element and an antenna channel (the second antenna channel) corresponding to the third-polarized antenna element on the basis of the dual-polarized antenna, with lower application difficulty and cost and can be widely applied.

[0014] Exemplarily, the antenna includes N array element groups, each array element group includes a plurality of candidate array elements, and the target array element A i is determined from all the candidate array elements. Any one array element group corresponds to an antenna channel. When the third-polarized antenna element of the target array element A i is connected to the antenna channel corresponding to the target array element A i the third-polarized antenna element participates in forming the target beam.

[0015] According to the antenna of the present application, there can be a plurality of array elements, and at least some of the array elements are provided with third-polarized antenna elements (the array elements provided with third-polarized antenna elements are the target array elements), so that the antenna can form a target beam that can cover a large-angle area through the third-polarized antenna elements, and other array elements in the antenna can, for example, participate in forming a beam for covering a small-angle area or participate with the third-polarized antenna elements in forming a target beam for covering a large-angle area. It is not limited to the antenna elements dedicated to covering a certain area, but can uniformly schedule all the antenna elements of the antenna, that is, the scheduling of the antenna elements is more flexible. Additionally, still taking the antenna of the present application as an example, which is improved on the basis of a dual-polarized antenna, the antenna of the present application can be implemented, for example, by adding a third-polarized antenna element and an antenna element selector on the basis of the dual-polarized antenna. The antenna element selector can, for example, determine that at least some of the third-polarized antenna elements of the target array elements participate in forming the target beam from M array elements.

[0016] Exemplarily, the dual-polarized antenna element includes a first-polarized antenna element and a second-polarized antenna element, and the target beam is jointly formed by at least one of the first-polarized antenna element and the second-polarized antenna element of the target array element A i and the third-polarized antenna element.

[0017] According to the antenna of the present application, any one of the N target array elements, the target array element A iIt includes a dual-polarized antenna element and a third-polarized antenna element. The dual-polarized antenna element includes a first-polarized antenna element and a second-polarized antenna element. In order to form a target beam that can cover a large-angle area, the third-polarized antenna element is required to participate in forming the target beam. On this basis, at least one of the first-polarized antenna element and the second-polarized antenna element can also jointly participate in forming the target beam.

[0018] In a second aspect, the present application relates to a communication device, including: a communication sub-device for beam management and beam formation, and the above antenna connected to the communication sub-device.

[0019] The antenna is used to transmit a beam. The antenna includes N target array elements. Any one target array element A among the N target array elements i includes a third-polarized antenna element. When the third-polarized antenna element of the target array element A i is connected to the antenna channel of the communication sub-device, the third-polarized antenna element participates in forming the target beam, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0020] According to the communication device of the present application, a target beam can be formed according to the communication sub-device for beam management and beam formation, and according to the antenna in the above embodiment, the target beam formed by the participation of the third-polarized antenna element of the above antenna can cover a large-angle area.

[0021] Exemplarily, the communication sub-device may further include: a first sub-device and a second sub-device connected to the first sub-device.

[0022] The first sub-device is used to determine a target antenna element for generating a beam according to the position information of the terminal device and the direction pattern information of the antenna element. The antenna includes M array elements, and each array element includes at least a dual-polarized antenna element. The antenna element includes a dual-polarized antenna element and a third-polarized antenna element. The target array element A i is determined according to the M array elements, and M is an integer greater than or equal to N.

[0023] The second sub-device is used to generate a beam according to the position information of the terminal device and the direction pattern information of the target antenna element.

[0024] In a third aspect, the present application relates to a resource allocation method, including: sending resource indication information to a terminal device.

[0025] The resource indication information is used to indicate the resources allocated to the terminal device. The resource indication information is determined according to the position information of the terminal device. The resources include at least one of beam resources and time-frequency code resources. Any one target array element A among the N target array elements of the antenna iIncluding a third polarization antenna element, the beam resources include a target beam, and the time-frequency code resources include at least one of time domain resources, frequency domain resources, and chip resources. When the third polarization antenna element of the target element A i is connected to the antenna channel, the third polarization antenna element participates in forming the target beam, and the target beam is transmitted through the antenna. N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0026] According to the resource allocation method of the present application, the third polarization antenna element of the antenna can participate in generating a target beam for a terminal device in a large angle region. For the terminal device in the large angle region, by allocating the beam resource of the target beam to the terminal device, signal coverage in the large angle region and efficient communication between the base station and the terminal device can be achieved.

[0027] Exemplarily, when the position information of the terminal device indicates that the angle between the terminal device and the normal of the antenna surface is greater than or equal to the target threshold, it can be considered that the terminal device is located in the large angle region. The resource indication information indicates that the beam resources allocated to the terminal device include the target beam. Thus, efficient communication between the base station and the terminal device can be carried out through the target beam formed by the participation of the third polarization antenna element. The efficient communication can be reflected, for example, in that the target beam has a higher gain compared to the beam formed by the dual polarization antenna element.

[0028] Exemplarily, when the position information of the terminal device indicates that the angle between the terminal device and the normal of the antenna surface is less than the target threshold, it can be considered that the terminal device is located in the small angle region. Therefore, the beam resources allocated to the terminal device can be formed by the participation of the dual polarization antenna element. The antenna includes M elements, and at least one element includes a dual polarization antenna element. M is an integer greater than or equal to N. According to the resource allocation method of the present application, efficient communication between the base station and the terminal device can be carried out through the beam formed by the participation of the dual polarization antenna element. The efficient communication can be reflected, for example, in that the range of the small angle region is larger and the beam gain is higher.

[0029] Exemplarily, different beam resources are allocated to different terminal devices.

[0030] Exemplarily, when the beam resources corresponding to any number of terminal devices are the same, any two terminal devices corresponding to the same beam resources are allocated different time-frequency code resources.

[0031] According to the resource allocation method of the present application, the formed beam can transmit signals between the base station and the terminal device in an energy - concentrated and directional manner. Through different beams, signals can be efficiently transmitted between the base station and different terminal devices. There are cases where multiple terminal devices transmit signals to the base station through the same beam. In this case, the signal transmission between multiple terminal devices and the base station will have strong interference. Since in wireless communication, the signals between the base station and the terminal device are transmitted based on carriers, and the carriers can be distinguished based on time domain, frequency domain, chip, etc. to reduce interference. Therefore, the resource allocation method of the present application can allocate different beam resources to different terminal devices. On this basis, it can also make up for the large interference in signal transmission through the same beam by different time - frequency - code resources, improving the wireless communication efficiency between the base station and the terminal device.

[0032] Exemplarily, when the position information of the terminal device indicates that the angle between the terminal device and the normal of the antenna's surface is within the target range, the beam resources allocated to the terminal device are obtained by beamforming through precoding of all target antenna elements corresponding to all terminal devices within the target range.

[0033] Beamforming based on precoding can change the beam direction by applying specific precoding to form multiple beams. The beams generated through precoding can match any number of terminal devices. Therefore, it is especially suitable for the case where terminal devices are relatively concentrated in space. For example, terminal devices in the building area within the space are relatively concentrated and large in number. Through precoding, more antenna elements can be used simultaneously to form narrower and more beams, so that different terminal devices can be distinguished by the beams, with less interference and more efficient wireless communication.

[0034] Exemplarily, the beam resources allocated to the terminal device are formed by target antenna elements, and the target antenna elements are determined from all antenna elements corresponding to the antenna based on the beam gain related to the position information of the terminal device. The beam gain is related to the antenna array gain and the antenna element gain. The antenna array gain is related to the number of array elements in the same direction of the antenna, and the antenna element gain is related to the pattern information of the antenna element and the position information of the terminal device.

[0035] According to the resource allocation method of the present application, for a terminal device at a certain determined position, according to the position information of the terminal device, the angle between the terminal device and the normal of the base station's antenna surface and the distance from the terminal device to the base station's antenna can be determined. Furthermore, the required gain G for the beam to cover the terminal device with a certain power can also be determined. d , there are various combinations of antenna elements in all the antenna elements of the antenna that can generate a beam directed in this direction and meeting the required gain G. d The actual gain Gp They may be different. According to the resource allocation method of the present application, in the case of a large number of antenna elements, for example, in order to obtain a larger beam gain, resource utilization rate, etc., the target antenna elements that can provide a larger beam gain can be selected from the antenna elements according to the gain G p so as to improve the wireless communication efficiency.

[0036] Exemplarily, M elements of the antenna are set as N element groups, each element group includes a plurality of candidate elements, and the target element A i is determined from all candidate elements. Any one element group corresponds to an antenna channel. The plurality of candidate elements in each element group include at least one third-polarization antenna element. The target antenna element is determined from a triple-polarization antenna array or a dual-polarization antenna array. The triple-polarization antenna array includes at least one third-polarization antenna element among all the antenna elements corresponding to the antenna, and the dual-polarization antenna array includes at least one dual-polarization antenna element among all the antenna elements corresponding to the antenna.

[0037] According to the resource allocation method of the present application, the antenna may be in the form of an antenna array, for example. The antenna array can also be arranged into multiple element groups. Each candidate element includes an indication of a third-polarization antenna element. At least some of the M elements of the antenna also include dual-polarization antennas. This enables the M elements of the antenna to be understood as including a dual-polarization antenna array and a triple-polarization antenna array. The antenna channel corresponding to each element group is connected to a dual-polarization antenna element or a third-polarization antenna element. Thus, the target antenna element can be determined from the triple-polarization antenna array or the dual-polarization antenna array among the M elements, that is, the N element groups.

[0038] In a fourth aspect, the present application relates to a resource allocation method, including: receiving resource indication information.

[0039] The resource indication information is used to indicate the resources allocated to the terminal device. The resource indication information is determined according to the location information of the terminal device. The resources include at least one of beam resources and time-frequency-code resources. Any one of the N target elements of the antenna, namely A i includes a third-polarization antenna element. The beam resources include target beams. The time-frequency-code resources include at least one of time-domain resources, frequency-domain resources, and chip resources. When the third-polarization antenna element of the target element A i is connected to the antenna channel, the third-polarization antenna element participates in forming the target beam, and the target beam is sent through the antenna. N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0040] Exemplarily, when the location information of the terminal device indicates that the angle between the terminal device and the normal of the antenna plane is greater than or equal to the target threshold, it can be considered that the terminal device is located in the large-angle region, and the resource indication information indicates that the beam resources allocated to the terminal device include the target beam. Thus, efficient communication between the base station and the terminal device can be carried out through the target beam formed by the participation of the third polarization antenna element. The efficient communication can be reflected, for example, in that the target beam has a higher gain compared to the beam formed by the dual-polarization antenna element.

[0041] Exemplarily, when the location information of the terminal device indicates that the angle between the terminal device and the normal of the antenna plane is less than the target threshold, it can be considered that the terminal device is located in the small-angle region. Therefore, the beam resources allocated to the terminal device can be formed by the participation of the dual-polarization antenna element. The antenna includes M array elements, and at least one array element includes a dual-polarization antenna element. M is an integer greater than or equal to N. According to the resource allocation method of the present application, efficient communication between the base station and the terminal device can be carried out through the beam formed by the participation of the dual-polarization antenna element. The efficient communication can be reflected, for example, in that the range of the small-angle region is larger and the beam gain is higher, etc.

[0042] Exemplarily, different beam resources are allocated to different terminal devices.

[0043] Exemplarily, when the beam resources corresponding to any number of terminal devices are the same, any two terminal devices corresponding to the same beam resources are allocated different time-frequency code resources.

[0044] According to the resource allocation method of the present application, the formed beam can transmit the signal between the base station and the terminal device in an energy-concentrated and directional manner. Through different beams, the signal can be efficiently transmitted between the base station and different terminal devices. There is a situation where multiple terminal devices transmit signals to the base station through the same beam. In this case, the signal transmission between multiple terminal devices and the base station will have strong interference. Since in wireless communication, the signal between the base station and the terminal device is transmitted based on the carrier, and the carrier can be distinguished based on time domain, frequency domain, chip, etc. to reduce interference. Therefore, the resource allocation method of the present application can allocate different beam resources to different terminal devices, and on this basis, different time-frequency code resources can also be used to make up for the large interference in signal transmission through the same beam, improving the wireless communication efficiency between the base station and the terminal device.

[0045] Exemplarily, when the location information of the terminal device indicates that the angle between the terminal device and the normal of the antenna plane is within the target range, the beam resources allocated to the terminal device are obtained by beam generation through precoding of all the target antenna elements corresponding to all the terminal devices within the target range.

[0046] Precoding-based beamforming can change the beam direction by applying specific precoding to form multiple beams. The beams generated by precoding can match any number of terminal devices. Therefore, it is particularly applicable to the situation where terminal devices are relatively concentrated in space. For example, the terminal devices in the building area within the space are relatively concentrated and large in number. Through precoding, more antenna elements can be used simultaneously to form narrower and more beams, so that different terminal devices can be distinguished by the beams, with less interference and more efficient wireless communication.

[0047] Exemplarily, the beam resources allocated to the terminal device are formed by the target antenna elements, and the target antenna elements are determined from all the antenna elements corresponding to the antenna according to the beam gain related to the position information of the terminal device. The beam gain is related to the antenna array gain and the antenna element gain. The antenna array gain is related to the number of array elements of the antenna in the same direction, and the antenna element gain is related to the antenna element pattern information and the position information of the terminal device.

[0048] According to the resource allocation method of the present application, for a terminal device at a certain determined position, the angle of the terminal device relative to the normal of the antenna plane of the base station antenna and the distance relative to the base station antenna can be determined according to the position information of the terminal device. Furthermore, the required gain G for the beam to cover the terminal device with a certain power can also be determined. d , there are various combinations of antenna elements in all the antenna elements of the antenna that can generate a beam directed in this direction and meeting the required gain G. d in size, but the actual gain G p may be different. According to the resource allocation method of the present application, in the case of a large number of antenna elements, for example, in order to obtain a larger beam gain, resource utilization rate, etc., the target antenna elements that can provide a larger beam gain are selected from the antenna elements according to the size of the gain G. p to improve the efficiency of wireless communication.

[0049] Exemplarily, M elements of the antenna are set as N element groups, and each element group includes multiple candidate elements. The target element A i is determined from all the candidate elements. Any one element group corresponds to an antenna channel. The multiple candidate elements of each element group include at least one third-polarization antenna element. The target antenna elements are determined from a triple-polarization antenna array or a dual-polarization antenna array. The triple-polarization antenna array includes at least one third-polarization antenna element among all the antenna elements corresponding to the antenna, and the dual-polarization antenna array includes at least one dual-polarization antenna element among all the antenna elements corresponding to the antenna.

[0050] According to the resource allocation method of the present application, the antenna can be in the form of an antenna array, for example. The antenna array can also be arranged into multiple element groups. Each candidate element includes a third-polarization antenna oscillator. At least some of the M elements of the antenna also include dual-polarization antennas. Thus, the M elements of the antenna can be understood as including a dual-polarization antenna array and a triple-polarization antenna array. The antenna channel corresponding to each element group is connected to the dual-polarization antenna oscillator or the third-polarization antenna oscillator. Thus, the target antenna oscillator can be determined from the triple-polarization antenna array or the dual-polarization antenna array among the M elements, i.e., N element groups.

[0051] In a fifth aspect, the present application relates to a resource allocation device, including: a transceiver module, configured to send resource indication information to a terminal device.

Any one target element A among the N target elements of the antenna i includes a third-polarization antenna oscillator. The beam resources include target beams. The time-frequency-code resources include at least one of time-domain resources, frequency-domain resources, and chip resources. When the third-polarization antenna oscillator of the target element A i is connected to the antenna channel, the third-polarization antenna oscillator participates in forming the target beam. The target beam is sent through the antenna. N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0052] Exemplarily, when the location information of the terminal device indicates that the angle between the terminal device and the normal of the antenna plane is greater than or equal to a target threshold, the resource indication information indicates that the beam resources allocated to the terminal device include target beams.

[0093] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0094] The term "and / or" in this article is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

[0095] The terms "first" and "second" in the description and claims of the embodiments of the present application are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order of the objects. For example, the first target object and the second target object are used to distinguish different target objects, rather than to describe a specific order of the target objects.

[0096] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to represent examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design solution described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be construed as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or design solutions. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0097] It should be understood that in this application, "at least one (item)" means one or more, and "a plurality" means two or more. "And / or" is used to describe the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, "A and / or B" can mean: only A exists, only B exists, and both A and B exist at the same time. Among them, A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after. "At least one (one)" or its similar expression below refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of single items (ones) or plural items (ones). For example, at least one (one) of a, b, or c can mean: a, b, c, "a and b", "a and c", "b and c", or "a and b and c", where a, b, c can be single or multiple.

[0098] The relevant background of the antenna, communication device, and resource allocation method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0099] An antenna is a transducer used to transform the guided wave propagating on a transmission line into an electromagnetic wave transmitted in an unbounded medium (the unbounded medium is usually free space), or to perform the opposite transformation. An antenna is a component used to transmit or receive electromagnetic waves in a radio device. Engineering systems such as radio communication, broadcasting, television, radar, navigation, electronic countermeasures, remote sensing, and radio astronomy, all of which use electromagnetic waves to transmit information, rely on antennas to work. In addition, in terms of transmitting energy with electromagnetic waves, non-signal energy radiation also requires an antenna.

[0100] The principle of using an antenna to transmit or receive electromagnetic waves is as follows: When a high-frequency current passes through a conductor, an electric field and a magnetic field will be generated in the surrounding space. In the region near the antenna that is comparable to λ (λ is the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave to be transmitted), the electromagnetic field has a close connection with the current / voltage in the conductor. By applying a varying voltage to the antenna (specifically, the antenna element), the electromagnetic field in this region can leave the conductor and propagate into space. Its change lags behind the current and voltage on the conductor by a certain period of time. At this time, the electromagnetic wave that has left the conductor and propagated into space no longer has a direct connection with the current and voltage on the wire. The electromagnetic field in this region is called the radiation field.

[0101] With the increasing traffic demand, in order to improve network capacity, antenna technology can be improved. Multiple-antenna technology can be understood as the technology of using multiple antennas in a system. Multiple-antenna technology can increase the capacity, coverage, and reliability of a communication system. Multiple-antenna systems have been widely used in the 5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology (5G) and are playing an increasingly important role. Taking the Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (massive MIMO) system as an example,

[0102] In some embodiments, a dual-polarized antenna is used to transmit or receive electromagnetic waves. For example, Figure 1A As shown, the dual-polarized antenna 100 can receive and transmit vertically polarized and horizontally polarized signals respectively through two mutually perpendicular oscillators 101 and 102. This enables the dual-polarized antenna 100 to selectively receive and transmit signals in a specific polarization direction during the receiving and transmitting processes, so as to suppress co-polarization interference, improve the signal-to-noise ratio, improve the spectral efficiency, and reduce multipath interference, thereby reducing the impact of interference.

[0103] The following will take the example of distinguishing different coverage areas based on the magnitude of the angle between the normal direction of the antenna plane of any terminal device and the base station antenna. When the angle between the normal direction of the antenna plane of the terminal device and the base station antenna is greater than a certain threshold (this threshold is the target threshold in the subsequent description of the embodiments of the present disclosure), it can be considered that the terminal device is located in the large-angle area relative to the normal direction of the antenna plane of the base station antenna. When the angle between the normal direction of the antenna plane of the terminal device and the base station antenna is less than or equal to this threshold, it can be considered that the terminal device is located in the small-angle area relative to the normal direction of the antenna plane of the base station antenna.

[0104] It should also be noted that, in combination with the actual installation location of the base station and the surrounding environment, both the large-angle area and the small-angle area can be further divided. For example, the large-angle area can be further divided into an airspace area and an area under the tower (the area under the tower can be understood as a certain range area near the antenna at the antenna installation height, and the airspace area can be understood as a certain range area near the antenna above the antenna installation height). The small-angle area can be further divided into a ground area and a building area. There may be a situation where at least a part of the building is located in the small-angle area and at least a part of the building is located in the large-angle area according to the position relative to the base station and the height of the building (subsequent embodiments will take the building area as the small-angle area for illustration).

[0105] Figure 1BSchematically shown is a schematic diagram of the spatial signal coverage of the dual-polarized antenna 100 disposed at the base station BS. As Figure 1B shown, schematically shown are the terminal devices U1, U2, U3, and U4 having a communication request with the base station BS at a certain moment. The angles between the terminal devices U1, U2, U3, and U4 and the normal direction L of the antenna surface of the dual-polarized antenna 100 of the base station BS are a1, a2, a3, and a4, respectively.

[0106] In Figure 1B the example of taking the area formed by Z1 and Z2 as the boundary as the small-angle area, the terminal devices U1 and U4 can be considered to be in the large-angle area. For example, the terminal device U1 can be considered to be in the area under the tower, and the terminal device U4 can be considered to be in the airspace.

[0107] Taking the airspace as an example, with the development of unmanned aerial vehicle technology, the terminal devices in the airspace can include unmanned aerial vehicles. Terminal devices such as unmanned aerial vehicles in the airspace can be used for remote sensing, mapping, power inspection, oil and gas inspection, territorial security, criminal investigation, traffic management, patrol, emergency disaster relief, emergency communication, pesticide spraying, sowing and fertilizing, crop detection, high-efficiency express delivery, cultural and entertainment tourism, manned transportation and other multi-scenarios. The terminal devices in the airspace have higher requirements for communication and sensing capabilities, so there is also a need for high-quality communication between the base station and the terminal devices in the airspace.

[0108] Some embodiments achieve signal coverage in the small-angle area by increasing hardware device resources such as micro base stations. However, the number of terminal devices in the airspace and the area under the tower is small, and the resources used for signal coverage in the airspace and the area under the tower and other small-angle areas by increasing micro base stations cannot be used for signal coverage of other areas during idle time, so the resource utilization rate is low. Therefore, how to efficiently perform signal coverage in the large-angle area and efficiently utilize resources is still a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0109] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an antenna. Figure 2A Schematically shown is a schematic diagram of the antenna according to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0110] As Figure 2A shown, the antenna 200 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure includes: N target array elements.

[0111] Any one target array element A among the N target array elements i includes a third polarization antenna oscillator 203. For any one target array element A among the N target array elements i , the target array element A iWhen the third polarized antenna oscillator 203 is connected to the antenna channel, the third polarized antenna oscillator 203 participates in forming a target beam, and the target beam is transmitted through the antenna 200. N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0112] For the antenna according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, N can be 1, and N can also be an integer greater than or equal to 2. Figure 2A An example where the value of N is an integer greater than or equal to 2 is schematically shown. At this time, the antenna according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can be understood as an array antenna, and the array antenna includes at least two regularly arranged or randomly arranged array elements. The antenna emits electromagnetic waves through the antenna oscillator, and the antenna oscillator is used to convert high-frequency current into electromagnetic waves. Since the ability of a single antenna oscillator is limited, it is difficult to concentrate the emission direction of the electromagnetic waves emitted by a single antenna oscillator. Therefore, multiple antenna oscillators can be provided for the antenna.

[0113] As Figure 2A shown, an example of any one of the N target array elements, target array element A i is also schematically shown. Target array element A i includes a third polarized antenna oscillator 203, and the third polarized antenna oscillator can be understood as an antenna oscillator that emits radiation in the third polarization direction. It should also be noted that the third polarization direction is perpendicular to both the first polarization direction and the second polarization direction. Hereinafter, the antenna oscillator that can emit radiation in the first polarization direction will be referred to as the first polarized antenna oscillator, and the antenna oscillator that can emit radiation in the second polarization direction will be referred to as the second polarized antenna oscillator. Figure 2A An example of the first polarized antenna oscillator 201 and the second polarized antenna oscillator 202 is also schematically shown. The first polarized antenna oscillator 201 and the second polarized antenna oscillator 202 can be two antenna oscillators of a dual-polarized antenna oscillator (it can also be understood that the dual-polarized antenna elements of a dual-polarized antenna include these two dual-polarized antenna oscillators, the first polarized antenna oscillator and the second polarized antenna oscillator) Ab. Hereinafter, an example where any one of the target array elements Ai of the antenna according to the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a dual-polarized antenna oscillator Ab and a third polarized antenna oscillator 203 will be used for description.

[0114] It should be noted that Figure 2A the target array element A shown i is only an example. Target array element A i For example, it can be an example of adding a third polarized antenna oscillator on the basis of a ±45° dual-polarized antenna (dual-polarized element) or a vertical and horizontal dual-polarized antenna (dual-polarized element). For example, a certain type of dual-polarized antenna (dual-polarized element) can be selected according to actual needs, and a third polarized antenna oscillator can be added based on this dual-polarized antenna.

[0115] An antenna is a passive device. When the antenna element is connected to the radio frequency link of an active antenna unit (AAU), an antenna channel capable of independently transmitting signals is formed.

[0116] Figure 2A A specific example of the antenna channel 204 connected to the antenna 200 is also schematically shown, such as Figure 2A As shown, the antenna channel 204 may include a duplexer (DUP), a power amplifier (PA), a low noise amplifier (LNA), a transmit end (TX), and a receive end (RX).

[0117] Exemplarily, the duplexer may further include, for example, an antenna element selector, and the transmit end and the receive end may further include phase shifters.

[0118] Hereinafter, the antenna provided with a target element in the embodiments of the present disclosure, where the target element includes a third-polarization antenna element and the third-polarization antenna element participates in forming a target beam when connected to the antenna channel, will be referred to as a triple-polarization antenna. Taking the signal coverage of space by the triple-polarization antenna in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the dual-polarization antenna used in some embodiments as an example for illustration. Figure 2B The radiation patterns of the dual-polarization antenna and the triple-polarization antenna in the xz plane are schematically shown, Figure 2C The radiation patterns of the dual-polarization antenna and the triple-polarization antenna in the yz plane are schematically shown.

[0119] Such as Figure 2B and Figure 2C As shown, taking the beam with the same power projected onto the xz plane and the yz plane and the angular sizes corresponding to the dual-polarization antenna and the triple-polarization antenna at -10 dB gain of the beam as an example for comparing the coverage angle regions of the dual-polarization antenna and the triple-polarization antenna, in the Figure 2B example, the angle of the beam of the dual-polarization antenna at -10 dB ( Figure 2B at point a1 of Figure 2B ) gain is x1, and the angle of the beam of the triple-polarization antenna at -10 dB ( Figure 2C at point a2 of Figure 2B ) gain is x2, and x2 is greater than x1.

[0120] In summary, any target element A of the antenna in the embodiments of the present disclosure iIt includes a dual-polarized antenna element and a third-polarized antenna element. When the third-polarized antenna element is connected to the antenna channel, the third-polarized antenna element participates in forming a target beam, which enables the antenna in the embodiment of the present disclosure to form a triple-polarized antenna, covering a larger angular region. The target beam can be transmitted through the antenna. Moreover, for the terminal devices in the large angular region, the target beam enables efficient communication between the terminal devices in the large angular region and the base station.

[0121] It should be noted that the statement in the embodiment of the present disclosure that "when the third-polarized antenna element is connected to the antenna channel, the third-polarized antenna element participates in forming a target beam" can be understood as that in order to form a target beam, there must be a situation where the third-polarized antenna element participating in forming the target beam is connected to the antenna channel. However, this third-polarized antenna element can be selectively connected to the antenna channel (which can be understood as dynamic connection) or directly physically connected to the antenna channel (which can be understood as static connection). For example, through dynamic connection, at least one third-polarized antenna element can be selected from all the antenna elements including the third-polarized antenna element and connected to the antenna channel. Through static connection, each third-polarized antenna element is connected to the antenna channel.

[0122] Figure 2D FIG. schematically shows a schematic diagram of the base station BS provided with the antenna 200 in the embodiment of the present disclosure for signal coverage of a spatial region through the antenna 200. For example, the dual-polarized antenna element of the antenna in the embodiment of the present disclosure covers a small angular region, that is Figure 2D the spatial region bounded by Z2 and Z3 shown ( Figure 2D the angular region marked as "dual-polarized coverage" in), the third-polarized antenna element of the antenna in the embodiment of the present disclosure covers a large angular region, that is Figure 2D the spatial region bounded by Z1 and Z2 shown and the spatial region bounded by Z3 and Z4 shown ( Figure 2D the angular region marked as "triple-polarized coverage" in).

[0123] It should be noted that the specific structure of the antenna in the embodiment of the present disclosure enables the third-polarized antenna element connected to the antenna channel of the antenna to participate in forming a target beam, and this target beam can cover a larger angular region with signals. The antenna in the embodiment of the present disclosure can also be, for example, improved based on a dual-polarized antenna. For example Figure 3A As a specific example of the antenna according to an embodiment of the present disclosure including 36 target array elements, each target array element of this antenna can be obtained, for example, by adding a third-polarized antenna element to each dual-polarized antenna element of the dual-polarized antenna. In order to enable the newly added third-polarized antenna element to participate in forming a target beam in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the third-polarized antenna element can be adaptively adjusted to match the hardware configuration of the dual-polarized antenna.

[0124] Since dual-polarized antennas are commonly used in current scenarios such as Massive MIMO in 5G, etc., the antenna for covering a larger angular region in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be directly improved based on the dual-polarized antennas commonly used in current communication systems, with lower application difficulty and cost and can be widely applied.

[0125] The following will take the antenna in the embodiments of the present disclosure obtained by improving based on a dual-polarized antenna as an example for illustration.

[0126] Figure 3A Taking the example that every 3 out of 36 dual-polarized elements of a dual-polarized antenna are connected to an antenna channel, and this antenna channel enables the dual-polarized antenna oscillators to form a beam (it can be understood that Figure 3A this is only an example. At least one of the dual-polarized elements of the dual-polarized antenna can be connected to an antenna channel, and the present disclosure does not limit the number of dual-polarized elements corresponding to an antenna channel). For the antenna according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, for example, for every 3 dual-polarized elements, the following several adaptive adjustment methods can be used to make the third-polarized antenna oscillators newly added on the basis of each dual-polarized antenna oscillator of the dual-polarized antenna adapt to the hardware configuration of the dual-polarized antenna:

[0127] 1) Target element A i It further includes a dual-polarized antenna oscillator. The dual-polarized antenna oscillator of target element A i and the third-polarized antenna oscillator correspond to the same antenna channel. The antenna channel is connected to the dual-polarized antenna oscillator of target element A i through a first phase adjuster, and the antenna channel is connected to the third-polarized antenna oscillator of target element A i through a second phase adjuster. The third-polarized antenna oscillator participates in forming the target beam.

[0128] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is the case where the dual-polarized antenna oscillator and the third-polarized antenna oscillator of target element A i correspond to the same antenna channel. In the case where both the dual-polarized antenna oscillator and the third-polarized antenna oscillator of target element A i participate in forming the beam, there is a phenomenon that the signal emitted by the target element is distorted due to phase cancellation between the dual-polarized antenna oscillator and the third-polarized antenna oscillator corresponding to the same antenna channel. For the antenna according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, through target element A iThe dual-polarized antenna element and the third-polarized antenna element are respectively connected to the same antenna channel through the first phase adjuster and the second phase adjuster, so that the signals transmitted by the dual-polarized antenna element and the third-polarized antenna element can be respectively adjusted through the first phase adjuster and the second phase adjuster, avoiding the distortion of the signals transmitted by the target array elements due to phase cancellation as described above, ensuring that the third-polarized antenna element can effectively participate in forming the target beam, so that the target beam formed by the third-polarized antenna element can cover a large-angle area. In addition, taking the antenna of the embodiment of the present disclosure as an example, which is improved on the basis of the dual-polarized antenna, the antenna of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be obtained by only adding a third-polarized antenna element and a second phase adjuster connected to the antenna channel on the basis of the dual-polarized antenna, with lower application difficulty and cost and can be widely applied.

[0129] Figure 3B Schematically shows Figure 3A 3 target array elements A 3 Schematic diagram of the connection with the antenna channel Figure 3B Schematically shows Figure 3A 3 target array elements A 3 Corresponding to an antenna channel, in combination with Figure 3A and Figure 3B , Figure 3B Also schematically shows the second phase adjuster connected to the third-polarized antenna element of each target array element among the 3 target array elements A 3 .

[0130] Exemplarily, the first phase adjuster and the second phase adjuster can be, for example, phase shifters. The first phase adjuster connected to the dual-polarized antenna element can be, for example, the phase shifter included in the transmitting end and the receiving end of the antenna channel.

[0131] Exemplarily, taking the antenna of the embodiment of the present disclosure obtained by improving on the basis of the dual-polarized antenna as an example, each dual-polarized antenna element of the dual-polarized antenna includes two antenna elements (i.e., the first-polarized antenna element and the second-polarized antenna element). In the case of adding a third-polarized antenna element, it is equivalent to increasing the number of antenna elements of the dual-polarized antenna element to 3, thereby forming a target array element. In the case of using the hardware of the dual-polarized antenna, for example, as Figure 3B shown, each target array element is also connected to a two-out-of-three antenna element selector (i.e., Figure 3B "two out of three" in

[0132] 2) Target array element A i also includes a dual-polarized antenna element. The dual-polarized antenna element and the third-polarized antenna element of the target array element A i respectively correspond to the first antenna channel and the second antenna channel. The target array element A iWhen the third polarized antenna element is connected to the second antenna channel, the third polarized antenna element participates in forming the target beam.

[0133] Figure 3C Schematically shows Figure 3A 3 target array elements A of 3 Schematic diagram of the connection with the antenna channel, Figure 3C Schematically shows the connection with Figure 3A 3 target array elements A of 3 The corresponding first antenna channel and second antenna channel, the first antenna channel is used to connect to the dual-polarized antenna elements of 3 target array elements A 3 The second antenna channel is used to connect to the third polarized antenna elements of 3 target array elements A 3 Connection.

[0134] Different from the embodiment in which the dual-polarized antenna element and the third polarized antenna element are respectively connected to the same antenna channel through the first phase adjuster and the second phase adjuster, so that the dual-polarized antenna element and the third polarized antenna element of the target array element can participate in forming the target beam, the third polarized antenna element of the target array element A i of the present disclosure is connected to the second antenna channel, which enables the third polarized antenna element to participate in forming the target beam.

[0135] "The dual-polarized antenna element and the third polarized antenna element of the target array element Ai respectively correspond to the first antenna channel and the second antenna channel. When the third polarized antenna element of the target array element A i is connected to the second antenna channel" can be understood as that the dual-polarized antenna element and the third polarized antenna element of the target array element Ai can be respectively dynamically connected or statically connected to the first antenna channel and the second antenna channel.

[0136] According to the antenna of the embodiment of the present disclosure, two antenna channels (the first antenna channel and the second antenna channel) can be used to connect the dual-polarized antenna element and the third polarized antenna element respectively, so that at least the third polarized antenna element can participate in forming the target beam for covering a large-angle area. Taking the antenna of the embodiment of the present disclosure as an example of being improved on the basis of the dual-polarized antenna, the antenna of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be obtained by only adding a third polarized antenna element and the antenna channel (the second antenna channel) corresponding to the third polarized antenna element on the basis of the dual-polarized antenna, and the application difficulty and cost are both lower and can be widely applied.

[0137] 3) The antenna includes N array element groups, each array element group includes a plurality of candidate array elements, and the target array element A i is determined from all candidate array elements. Any one array element group corresponds to an antenna channel, and the third polarized antenna element of the target array element A i is connected to the target array element Ai When the corresponding antenna channels are connected, the third-polarization antenna element participates in forming the target beam.

[0138] According to the antenna of an embodiment of the present disclosure, the antenna can be configured to include a plurality of element groups, each element group includes a plurality of candidate elements, any one element group corresponds to an antenna channel, and the third-polarization antenna element is connected to the antenna channel to form a target beam that can cover a large angular region. Compared with each candidate element of each element group being provided with a third-polarization antenna element, the antenna channel corresponding to the element group corresponds to a plurality of third-polarization antenna elements, that is, in a one-to-many manner between the element group and the third-polarization antenna element. One of the plurality of candidate elements of each element group is a target element, and the third-polarization antenna element of the target element corresponds to the antenna channel. That is, the antenna of the embodiment of the present disclosure is in a one-to-one manner between the element group and the third-polarization antenna element, which can reduce the number requirement of the third-polarization antenna elements. For example Figure 3A As shown, every 3 target elements can be understood as an element group (and the embodiments of the present disclosure can also be understood in combination with the following Figure 8 .

[0139] Exemplarily, the plurality of candidate elements of each element group can include at least one third-polarization antenna element. Figure 3A And Figure 3D Taking each element group including 3 candidate elements as an example, Figure 3A And Figure 3D Specific examples are respectively shown in which the 3 candidate elements of each element group include 3 third-polarization antenna elements and 1 third-polarization antenna element.

[0140] Of course, taking each element group including X candidate elements as an example, the X candidate elements can include Y third-polarization antenna elements, where X is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and Y is an integer less than or equal to X and greater than or equal to 1.

[0141] Still taking the antenna of the embodiment of the present disclosure as an example of being improved on the basis of a dual-polarization antenna, for each element group, the antenna of the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the method of determining the target element from the plurality of candidate elements of the element group, nor does it limit the setting position and setting method of the third-polarization antenna element of the target element relative to the dual-polarization antenna element.

[0142] An antenna according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be provided with a plurality of array elements, and at least a part of the array elements are provided with third-polarization antenna oscillators (the array elements provided with the third-polarization antenna oscillators are the target array elements), so that the antenna can form a target beam that can cover a large-angle region through the third-polarization antenna oscillators, and other array elements in the antenna can, for example, participate in forming a beam for covering a small-angle region or participate with the third-polarization antenna oscillators in forming a target beam for covering a large-angle region. It is not limited to the antenna oscillators dedicated to covering a certain region, but can uniformly schedule all the antenna oscillators of the antenna, that is, the scheduling of the antenna oscillators is more flexible. In addition, still taking the antenna according to the embodiment of the present disclosure as an example, which is improved on the basis of a dual-polarization antenna, the antenna according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can be realized, for example, by adding a third-polarization antenna oscillator and an antenna oscillator selector on the basis of the dual-polarization antenna. The antenna oscillator selector can, for example, determine that at least a part of the third-polarization antenna oscillators of the target array elements participate in forming the target beam from M array elements.

[0143] It should be noted that, still taking the antenna according to the embodiment of the present disclosure as an example, which is improved on the basis of a dual-polarization antenna, in the three embodiments of the above embodiments 1) to 3), embodiment 1) needs to add a third-polarization antenna oscillator and a second phase adjuster, embodiment 2) needs to add a third-polarization antenna oscillator and a second antenna channel, and embodiment 3) needs to add a third-polarization antenna oscillator and an antenna selector. The hardware adaptability improvement difficulty of embodiment 2), embodiment 1), and embodiment 3) with respect to the dual-polarization antenna decreases in turn, but in the case where embodiment 3) involves using a software algorithm for antenna oscillator selection, the software algorithm improvement of this embodiment is more difficult and complex. For example, a specific embodiment can be selected according to actual needs.

[0144] It should also be noted that, actually, a dual-polarization antenna can also form a target beam covering a large-angle region, but due to its physical reasons (such as the above-mentioned dual-polarization antenna pattern), the gain of the target beam formed by the dual-polarization antenna is smaller than that of the target beam formed by the participation of the third-polarization antenna oscillator, so the communication efficiency is lower. When the third-polarization antenna oscillator according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is connected to an antenna channel, the communication efficiency of the target beam formed by the participation of the third-polarization antenna oscillator covering a large-angle region is higher (as shown in the above-mentioned three-polarization antenna pattern).

[0145] According to an antenna of another embodiment of the present disclosure, the dual-polarization antenna oscillator includes a first-polarization antenna oscillator and a second-polarization antenna oscillator, and the target beam is formed by at least one of the first-polarization antenna oscillator and the second-polarization antenna oscillator of the target element A i and the third-polarization antenna oscillator together.

[0146] "The target beam is formed by the target element A iAt least one of the first polarized antenna element and the second polarized antenna element and the third polarized antenna element together form a "comprising the following technical solutions:

[0147] 1) The target beam is formed by the first polarized antenna element and the third polarized antenna element of the target array element A i together.

[0148] 2) The target beam is formed by the second polarized antenna element and the third polarized antenna element of the target array element A i together.

[0149] 3) The target beam is formed by the first polarized antenna element, the second polarized antenna element and the third polarized antenna element of the target array element A i together.

[0150] For the antenna according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, any one target array element A among the N target array elements i includes a dual-polarized antenna element and a third polarized antenna element. The dual-polarized antenna element includes a first polarized antenna element and a second polarized antenna element. In order to form a target beam that can cover a large-angle region, the third polarized antenna element is required to participate in forming the target beam. On this basis, at least one of the first polarized antenna element and the second polarized antenna element can also participate in forming the target beam together.

[0151] It should be noted that when the power for forming the target beam does not meet the requirements, at least one of the first polarized antenna element and the second polarized antenna element of the dual-polarized antenna can be added on the basis of the third polarized antenna element to increase the power of the target beam, so that, for example, terminal devices with a larger angle or a farther distance can be covered.

[0152] Still taking the antenna according to an embodiment of the present disclosure as an example, which is improved on the basis of a dual-polarized antenna. The relevant hardware configuration of the dual-polarized antenna is adapted to the first polarized antenna element and the second polarized antenna element of the dual-polarized antenna. In the case of adding a third polarized antenna element on the basis of the dual-polarized antenna, it is also possible not to add an antenna channel and a phase adjuster, but to adapt to the settings of the two antenna elements of the dual-polarized antenna by selecting two antenna elements including the third polarized antenna element from the three polarized antenna elements. For example, it is only necessary to add, for example, Figure 3B the antenna element three-selection-two selection device shown.

[0153] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a communication device. Figure 4A Schematically shows a schematic diagram of a communication device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0154] As Figure 4AAs shown, the communication device 400 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a communication sub-device 401 for beam management and beam formation, and an antenna 402 as described in any of the above embodiments connected to the communication sub-device 401.

[0155] The antenna 402 is used to transmit beams. The antenna 402 includes N target array elements, and any one target array element A among the N target array elements i includes a third-polarization antenna oscillator. When the third-polarization antenna oscillator of the target array element A i is connected to the antenna channel of the communication sub-device 401, the third-polarization antenna oscillator participates in forming a target beam, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0156] It should be noted that for the antenna according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, since any one target array element A among the N target array elements i includes a third-polarization antenna oscillator. When the third-polarization antenna oscillator of the target array element A i is connected to the antenna channel, the third-polarization antenna oscillator participates in forming a target beam. The third-polarization antenna oscillator and / or the dual-polarization antenna oscillator of the target array element can also participate in forming a beam for covering a small-angle area. The "beam" mentioned in "the antenna is used to transmit beams" can include a beam for covering a large-angle area. For example Figure 4A schematically shows a specific example of a target beam beam1 covering a terminal device UE1 located in a large-angle area and a beam beam2 covering a terminal device UE2 located in a small-angle area.

[0157] The communication device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can form a target beam according to the communication sub-device for beam management and beam formation, and can also, according to the antenna in the above embodiment, enable the target beam formed by the participation of the third-polarization antenna oscillator of the above antenna to cover a large-angle area.

[0158] As Figure 4A shown, for the communication device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the communication sub-device 401 may further include: a first sub-device and a second sub-device connected to the first sub-device.

[0159] The first sub-device is used to determine a target antenna oscillator for generating a beam according to the position information of the terminal device and the radiation pattern information of the antenna oscillator. The antenna includes M array elements, and each array element includes at least a dual-polarization antenna oscillator. The antenna oscillator includes a dual-polarization antenna oscillator and a third-polarization antenna oscillator. The target array element A i is determined according to the M array elements, and M is an integer greater than or equal to N.

[0160] The second sub-device is used to generate a beam according to the position information of the terminal device and the radiation pattern information of the target antenna oscillator.

[0161] Exemplarily, the first sub-device may include: an oscillator selector for selecting a target antenna oscillator from all the antenna oscillators of the antenna (the oscillator selector is also an antenna oscillator selector, which may include element selection and oscillator selection).

[0162] It should be noted that the antenna oscillator selector may directly select the target antenna oscillator from all the antenna oscillators of the antenna, or the antenna oscillator selector may first select the target element from all the elements of the antenna and then select the target antenna oscillator from the target element. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the specific manner in which the antenna oscillator selector selects the target antenna oscillator.

[0163] The second sub-device may include: a beam generator and a phase shifter for generating a beam.

[0164] Exemplarily, the communication sub-device may further include: a decision maker for determining information such as the type of the terminal device.

[0165] The beam generator and the decision maker may be respectively integrated on a baseband interface processing board (base band process and radio Interface board, BBI) and a main control board (the main control board is the MPT), and the BBI and the MPT may be integrated on an indoor baseband processing unit (building base band unite, BBU).

[0166] Figure 4B A schematic diagram of a communication device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Figure 4B Taking every 3 elements of the antenna in any of the above embodiments as an element group and a column of elements along the longitudinal direction as an example for description, in Figure 4B In the example, each element of each element group is connected to a phase shifter so that the beams formed by the antenna oscillators of each element of the element group will not cancel each other out due to phase interference. Especially in the case of large-angle area coverage, the influence of phase interference is more serious. The phase shifters connected to a column of elements along the longitudinal direction are also connected to the beam generator, and the beam generator is connected to the decision maker and the oscillator selector. It should be noted that the "connection" between the various devices in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include physical connection and logical connection, so that at least a part of the output of the upstream device among the connected multiple devices can be used as the input of the downstream device.

[0167] The following will combine Figure 4B The communication device shown for specific examples of beam management, beam generation, and beam transmission.

[0168] As Figure 4CAs shown, when a terminal device appears at a position 45° upward relative to the normal L of the sky surface, the terminal device can be, for example, a drone. For example, the presence and position of the terminal device can be recognized by a decision maker and informed to a beam generator. The beam generator determines configuration information such as the phase weights and amplitude weights required to form a beam in this azimuth. The phase weights and amplitude weights can be implemented through a beam generation algorithm. For example, the angle of the terminal device relative to the normal L of the sky surface and the radiation pattern information of the antenna elements can be used as inputs to the beam generation algorithm, and then the corresponding configuration information for generating the beam can be output. The configuration information can include, for example: signal frequency, number of antenna array elements, phase weights, and amplitude weights. The following will exemplarily show an example of the configuration information of the beam generator through Table 1:

[0169] Table 1

[0170] Signal frequency 10Ghz Number of antenna elements 16 Phase weight The phase difference between adjacent antenna elements is -135° in sequence Amplitude weight [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]

[0171] It should be noted that the "antenna elements" in "number of antenna elements" and "adjacent antenna elements" in Table 1 both refer to the selected target antenna elements.

[0172] The phase shifter can modulate the phase of each antenna element according to the amplitude calculated by the beam generator, and then, for example, Figure 4D the radiation pattern of the antenna element shown can be obtained.

[0173] Figure 4E Schematically shows an example of the radiation patterns of three antenna elements: the first polarized antenna element, the second polarized antenna element, and the third polarized antenna element of a certain target element.

[0174] The following will exemplarily show an example of selecting a target antenna element from the three antenna elements of the target element through gain by Table 2:

[0175] Table 2

[0176]

[0177] So far, the signal is transmitted on the selected 16 target antenna elements according to the phase and amplitude weights calculated by the beam generator and a beam is formed at the terminal device.

[0178] It should also be noted that the above are all examples of generating beam weights, determining target antenna elements to generate beams, and transmitting beams in the XZ plane. For example, the steps such as beam generation in the ZY plane and selection of target antenna elements are similar to those in the XZ plane and will not be elaborated here.

[0179] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a resource allocation method and a resource allocation device.

[0180] Figure 5 Schematically shows a schematic diagram of the system architecture of a resource allocation method and a resource allocation device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that Figure 5 This is only an example of the system architecture of the resource allocation method and the resource allocation device to which the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied, to help those skilled in the art understand the technical content of the present disclosure, but it does not mean that the embodiments of the present disclosure cannot be applied to other devices, systems, environments or scenarios.

[0181] Figure 5 Schematically shows a system architecture of a resource allocation method and a resource allocation device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0182] As Figure 5 shown, the system architecture in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include: a network device 501 and a terminal device 502.

[0183] The network device 501 can be understood as a hardware device that connects various nodes such as servers, personal computers (PCs), application terminals, etc. to form a communication network.

[0184] Exemplarily, the network device may include the communication device in the above embodiments of the present disclosure, and the communication device includes the antenna and the communication sub-device in the above embodiments. Hereinafter, the network device will be exemplified by a base station (BS).

[0185] Logically, the base station can be understood as a scheduling entity, and the terminal device can be understood as a subordinate entity. The scheduling entity is responsible for the scheduling control of the service data transmission, and the subordinate entity performs the service data transmission based on the control of the scheduling entity. For example, the base station sends an uplink scheduling grant (Grant) to the terminal device, and the terminal device sends an uplink data transmission to the base station based on the uplink scheduling grant.

[0186] Physically, the base station may include, but is not limited to, a macro base station, a micro base station, a transmission reception point (TRP), a baseband unit (BBU), and a remote radio unit. A micro base station is sometimes also referred to as a small cell. The terminal device may include, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, wearable devices (such as smart watches, smart bracelets, smart helmets, smart glasses, etc.), and other communication devices with wireless access capabilities, such as various Internet of Things devices, including smart home devices (such as smart meters, smart home appliances, etc.), smart vehicles, etc.

[0187] The terminal device (user equipment, UE) 502 can be understood as a communication device used by a user. The terminal device may include, for example, a mobile phone, a laptop computer, a drone, etc.

[0188] According to the resource allocation method of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a network device may, for example, send resource indication information to a terminal device. The terminal device may receive the resource indication information.

[0189] The resource indication information is used to indicate the resources allocated to the terminal device. The resource indication information is determined according to the location information of the terminal device. The resources include at least one of beam resources and time-frequency code resources, and any one target element A among N target elements of the antenna i including a third polarization antenna element, the beam resource includes a target beam, the time-frequency code resource includes at least one of a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, and a chip resource, and the target element A i When the third polarization antenna element of A is connected to the antenna channel, the third polarization antenna element participates in forming the target beam, and the target beam is sent through the antenna. N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0190] Figure 6 Schematically shows a flowchart of the resource allocation method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0191] As Figure 6 shown, the resource allocation method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes operation S610: sending resource indication information to the terminal device.

[0192] The resource indication information is used to indicate the resources allocated to the terminal device. The resource indication information is determined according to the location information of the terminal device. The resources include at least one of beam resources and time-frequency code resources, and any one target element A among N target elements of the antennai including a third polarized antenna element, the beam resources include a target beam, the time-frequency-code resources include at least one of time-domain resources, frequency-domain resources, and chip resources, and the target element A i When the third polarized antenna element of is connected to the antenna channel, the third polarized antenna element participates in forming the target beam, and the target beam is transmitted through the antenna. N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0193] Still taking Figure 5 the system architecture shown as an example, the resource allocation method of the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed by network devices such as base stations. Hereinafter, the network device will be described as a base station.

[0194] According to the resource allocation method of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the third polarized antenna element of the antenna can participate in generating a target beam for a terminal device in a large-angle area. For the terminal device in the large-angle area, by allocating the beam resource of the target beam to the terminal device, signal coverage of the large-angle area and efficient communication between the base station and the terminal device can be achieved.

[0195] It can be understood that the wireless communication between the base station and the terminal device is realized by the base station's antenna sending electromagnetic waves to the terminal device to form a beam. A base station can serve multiple terminal devices. For example, by sending a beam to each terminal device, and if the beams corresponding to any two terminal devices do not interfere, efficient communication between the base station and any one of the terminal devices can be achieved. The efficient communication is reflected in less interference between the beams corresponding to any two terminal devices. There is also a situation where the number of beams transmitted by the base station is less than the number of terminal devices served by the base station. At this time, efficient communication with multiple terminal devices corresponding to the same beam can be achieved by allocating different time-frequency-code resources to the multiple terminal devices corresponding to the same beam.

[0196] It should be noted that a base station can serve multiple terminal devices, and the angles of each terminal device relative to the base station may be different. The resource allocation method of the embodiments of the present disclosure can allocate resources according to the signal coverage performance of the antenna element for each angle to improve resource utilization.

[0197] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, multiple signal coverage areas are still divided according to the angular size of the terminal device relative to the normal of the antenna surface of the base station. It can be understood that dividing the signal coverage area and determining which signal coverage area the terminal device is located in are not necessarily operations to be performed (the signal coverage area is not an actual existing area). It is only an assumption in the embodiments of the present disclosure that based on the angle of the terminal device relative to the normal of the antenna surface of the base station, the terminal device can be considered to be located in a certain signal coverage area. Based on this assumption and the above embodiments, for the antenna of the embodiments of the present disclosure, since a dual-polarized antenna element and a third-polarized antenna element are provided, the third-polarized antenna element participates in forming a target beam for covering a large-angle area, and the dual-polarized antenna element can participate in forming a beam for covering a small-angle area. Therefore, according to the resource allocation method of the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the terminal device is located in a large-angle area, the third-polarized antenna element can be preferentially utilized to participate in forming a target beam for the terminal device, and when the terminal device is located in a small-angle area, the dual-polarized antenna element can be preferentially utilized to participate in forming a beam for the terminal device. Thereby, the resource utilization rate and the wireless communication efficiency can be improved, and at least signal coverage in areas such as the airspace and the area under the tower can be achieved.

[0198] According to the resource allocation method of an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the location information of the terminal device indicates that the angle between the terminal device and the normal of the antenna surface is greater than or equal to a target threshold, it can be considered that the terminal device is located in a large-angle area, and the resource indication information indicates that the beam resources allocated to the terminal device include a target beam. Thereby, efficient communication between the base station and the terminal device can be performed through the target beam formed by the participation of the third-polarized antenna element. The efficient communication can be reflected, for example, in that the target beam has a higher gain compared to the beam formed by the dual-polarized antenna element.

[0199] The target threshold is, for example, set to 30° (the 30° here does not distinguish between positive and negative angles).

[0200] Figure 7A Schematically shows a specific example in the case where the large-angle area includes the airspace and the area under the tower. For the antenna according to the above embodiments of the present disclosure, a part of the third-polarized antenna elements participate in forming a target beam beam1 to cover the terminal devices in the airspace, and a part of the third-polarized antenna elements participate in forming a target beam beam2 to cover the terminal devices in the area under the tower. The number of third-polarized antenna elements for signal coverage in the airspace and the number of third-polarized antenna elements for signal coverage in the area under the tower can be determined, for example, according to the number of terminal devices in the airspace and the number of terminal devices in the area under the tower.

[0201] According to the resource allocation method of another embodiment of the present disclosure, when the position information of the terminal device indicates that the angle between the terminal device and the normal of the antenna surface is less than the target threshold, it can be considered that the terminal device is located in the small-angle region. Therefore, the beam resources allocated to the terminal device can be formed by the participation of dual-polarized antenna elements. The antenna includes M array elements, and at least one array element includes a dual-polarized antenna element, where M is an integer greater than or equal to N. The resource allocation method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can perform efficient communication between the base station and the terminal device through the beam formed by the participation of the dual-polarized antenna element. The efficient communication can be reflected, for example, in a larger range of the small-angle region and a higher beam gain.

[0202] In Figure 7A the example, a specific example is also schematically shown in which the dual-polarized antenna element of the antenna according to the above embodiment of the present disclosure participates in forming beam3 to cover the small-angle region.

[0203] Figure 7B A specific example is schematically shown in which the small-angle region includes a ground region and a building region. As Figure 7B shown, a specific example is that a part of the dual-polarized antenna elements of the antenna according to the above embodiment participate in forming beam3 to cover the terminal device in the ground region, and a part of the dual-polarized antenna elements participate in forming beam4 to cover the terminal device in the building region. The number of dual-polarized antenna elements for signal coverage in the ground region and the number of dual-polarized antenna elements for signal coverage in the building region can be determined, for example, according to the number of terminal devices located in the ground region and the number of terminal devices located in the building region.

[0204] Figure 7C A situation is schematically shown in which the large-angle region includes an airspace region and a building region, and the small-angle region includes an area under the tower and a ground region, and there are overlapping beams between the airspace region and the building region and / or between the area under the tower and the ground region.

[0205] Exemplarily, according to the resource allocation method of another embodiment of the present disclosure, different beam resources are allocated to different terminal devices.

[0206] Exemplarily, according to the resource allocation method of another embodiment of the present disclosure, when the beam resources corresponding to any number of terminal devices are the same, any two terminal devices corresponding to the same beam resources are allocated different time-frequency code resources.

[0207] It should be noted that the time-frequency code resources include at least one of time domain resources, frequency domain resources, and chip resources. Different time-frequency code resources can be understood as at least one of time domain resources, frequency domain resources, and chip resources being different.

[0208] According to the resource allocation method of an embodiment of the present disclosure, the formed beam can transmit signals between the base station and the terminal device in an energy - concentrated and directional manner. Through different beams, signals can be efficiently transmitted between the base station and different terminal devices. There are cases where multiple terminal devices transmit signals with the base station through the same beam. In this case, the signal transmission between the multiple terminal devices and the base station will have strong interference (including Figure 7C the case of overlapping beams shown). Since in wireless communication, the signals between the base station and the terminal device are transmitted based on carriers, and the carriers can be distinguished based on time domain, frequency domain, chip, etc. to reduce interference, the resource allocation method of the embodiment of the present disclosure can allocate different beam resources to different terminal devices. On this basis, it can also make up for the large interference in signal transmission through the same beam by different time - frequency - code resources, thereby improving the wireless communication efficiency between the base station and the terminal device.

[0209] For example, in the above Figure 7A , Figure 7B and Figure 7C examples, the resources allocated to different terminal devices can also be distinguished by beams and / or time - frequency - code resources.

[0210] According to the resource allocation method of another embodiment of the present disclosure, when the position information of the terminal device indicates that the angle between the terminal device and the normal of the antenna surface is within the target range, the beam resources allocated to the terminal device are obtained by beamforming through precoding of all target antenna elements corresponding to all terminal devices within the target range.

[0211] Exemplarily, the target range can be, for example, determined according to the position information of the terminal device to be the area where the terminal device is located, such as including at least one of the above - mentioned: airspace, area under the tower, ground area, and building area.

[0212] The beamforming based on precoding can change the beam direction by applying specific precoding to form multiple beams. The beams generated through precoding can match any number of terminal devices. Therefore, it is especially suitable for the case where terminal devices are relatively concentrated in space. For example, the terminal devices in the building area within the space are relatively concentrated and large in number. Through precoding, more antenna elements can be used simultaneously to form narrower and more beams, so that different terminal devices can be distinguished by the beams, with less interference and more efficient wireless communication.

[0213] According to the resource allocation method of another embodiment of the present disclosure, the beam resources allocated to the terminal device are formed by target antenna elements, and the target antenna elements are determined from all the antenna elements corresponding to the antenna according to the beam gain related to the position information of the terminal device. The beam gain is related to the antenna array gain and the antenna element gain. The antenna array gain is related to the number of array elements of the antenna in the same direction, and the antenna element gain is related to the pattern information of the antenna element and the position information of the terminal device.

[0214] According to the resource allocation method of an embodiment of the present disclosure, for a terminal device at a certain determined position, according to the position information of the terminal device, the angle of the terminal device relative to the normal of the antenna surface of the base station and the distance relative to the antenna of the base station can be determined. Furthermore, the required gain G for the beam to cover the terminal device with a certain power can also be determined. d , there are various combinations of antenna elements in all the antenna elements of the antenna that can generate a beam directed to this direction and satisfying the required gain G. d However, the actual gain G p may be different. According to the resource allocation method of an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case of a large number of antenna elements, for example, in order to obtain a larger beam gain, resource utilization rate, etc., the target antenna elements that can provide a larger beam gain are selected from the antenna elements according to the magnitude of the gain G. p to improve the efficiency of wireless communication.

[0215] According to the communication device described above in the present disclosure, in combination with Figure 4B , Figure 4C and Table 1, Table 2 and the related text descriptions, specific examples of selecting target antenna elements from antenna elements according to gain in the embodiments of the present disclosure are introduced in detail. Their technical principles, technical effects, etc. are similar to those of the resource allocation method of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and will not be elaborated here.

[0216] According to the resource allocation method of another embodiment of the present disclosure, M array elements of the antenna are set as N array element groups, each array element group includes multiple candidate array elements, and the target array element A i is determined from all the candidate array elements. Any one array element group corresponds to an antenna channel. The multiple candidate array elements of each array element group include at least one third-polarization antenna element. The target antenna element is determined from a triple-polarization antenna array or a dual-polarization antenna array. The triple-polarization antenna array includes at least one third-polarization antenna element among all the antenna elements corresponding to the antenna, and the dual-polarization antenna array includes at least one dual-polarization antenna element among all the antenna elements corresponding to the antenna.

[0217] According to the resource allocation method of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the antenna may be in the form of an antenna array, for example. The antenna array may also be arranged into multiple element groups. Each candidate element includes an indication of a third-polarization antenna oscillator. At least some of the M elements of the antenna further include dual-polarization antennas. This enables the M elements of the antenna to be understood as including a dual-polarization antenna array and a triple-polarization antenna array. The antenna channel corresponding to each element group is connected to a dual-polarization antenna oscillator or a third-polarization antenna oscillator. Thus, a target antenna oscillator can be determined from the triple-polarization antenna array or the dual-polarization antenna array among the M elements, i.e., the N element groups.

[0218] Figure 8 Schematically shown is that the antenna of the embodiments of the present disclosure is set to 16 element groups. Each element group includes 3 candidate elements. One of the 3 candidate elements is the target element, i.e., the target element includes a third-polarization antenna oscillator, and the other two candidate elements only include dual-polarization antenna oscillators as an example for illustration. For any element group A 3 , since only one third-polarization antenna oscillator participates in forming the target beam directed to a certain terminal device UE to establish a wireless communication channel between the base station and the terminal device UE, the terminal device UE still sends data to the base station through the target beam. When the terminal device UE actively reports location information to the base station, for example, the terminal device UE can only feedback information such as signal strength to the target element in the element group, and the decision maker of the communication device according to the above embodiments determines the location information of the terminal device according to the delay information reported by the terminal device UE and the received signal strength.

[0219] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a resource allocation method.

[0220] Figure 9 Schematically shown is a flowchart of the resource allocation method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure. In combination with Figure 5 the system architecture shown, the resource allocation method of the embodiments of the present disclosure may be executed by a terminal device, for example.

[0221] As Figure 9 shown, the resource allocation method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may include: receiving resource indication information.

[0222] The resource indication information is used to indicate the resources allocated to the terminal device. The resource indication information is determined according to the location information of the terminal device. The resources include at least one of beam resources and time-frequency code resources. Any target element A among the N target elements of the antenna i includes a third-polarization antenna oscillator. The beam resources include target beams. The time-frequency code resources include at least one of time domain resources, frequency domain resources, and chip resources. The target element A iWhen the third polarized antenna oscillator is connected to the antenna channel, the third polarized antenna oscillator participates in forming the target beam, and the target beam is transmitted through the antenna. N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0223] The resource allocation method executed by the terminal device in the embodiments of the present disclosure corresponds to the resource allocation method executed by the network device in the above embodiments. The technical solutions and technical effects of the resource allocation method executed by the terminal device in the embodiments of the present disclosure are similar to those of the resource allocation method executed by the network device in the above embodiments, and will not be elaborated herein.

[0224] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a resource allocation device.

[0225] Figure 10 The block diagram of the resource allocation device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0226] As Figure 10 shown, the resource allocation device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may include: a transceiver module 1010.

[0227] The transceiver module is configured to send resource indication information to the terminal device. The resource indication information is used to indicate the resources allocated to the terminal device. The resource indication information is determined according to the location information of the terminal device. The resources include at least one of beam resources and time-frequency code resources. Any one target element A of the N target elements of the antenna i includes a third polarized antenna oscillator. The beam resources include target beams. The time-frequency code resources include at least one of time domain resources, frequency domain resources, and chip resources. When the third polarized antenna oscillator of the target element A i is connected to the antenna channel, the third polarized antenna oscillator participates in forming the target beam, and the target beam is transmitted through the antenna. N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0228] Exemplarily, when the location information of the terminal device indicates that the angle between the terminal device and the normal of the antenna surface is greater than or equal to the target threshold, the resource indication information indicates that the beam resources allocated to the terminal device include target beams.

[0229] Exemplarily, when the location information of the terminal device indicates that the angle between the terminal device and the normal of the antenna surface is less than the target threshold, the beam resources allocated to the terminal device are formed by the participation of dual-polarized antenna oscillators. The antenna includes M elements, and at least one element includes a dual-polarized antenna oscillator. M is an integer greater than or equal to N.

[0230] Exemplarily, different beam resources are allocated to different terminal devices.

[0231] Exemplarily, when the beam resources corresponding to any number of terminal devices are the same, any two terminal devices corresponding to the same beam resources are allocated different time-frequency code resources.

[0232] Exemplarily, when the location information of the terminal device indicates that the angle between the terminal device and the normal of the antenna surface is within the target range, the beam resources allocated to the terminal device are generated by beamforming through precoding of all target antenna elements corresponding to all terminal devices within the target range.

[0233] Exemplarily, the beam resources allocated to the terminal device are formed by target antenna elements, and the target antenna elements are determined from all the antenna elements corresponding to the antenna according to the beam gain related to the location information of the terminal device. The beam gain is related to the antenna array gain and the antenna element gain. The antenna array gain is related to the number of array elements of the antenna in the same direction, and the antenna element gain is related to the pattern information of the antenna element and the location information of the terminal device.

[0234] Exemplarily, M elements of the antenna are set as N element groups, each element group includes multiple candidate elements, and the target element A i is determined from all the candidate elements. Any one element group corresponds to an antenna channel. The multiple candidate elements of each element group include at least one third-polarization antenna element. The target antenna element is determined from a triple-polarization antenna array or a dual-polarization antenna array. The triple-polarization antenna array includes at least one third-polarization antenna element among all the antenna elements corresponding to the antenna, and the dual-polarization antenna array includes at least one dual-polarization antenna element among all the antenna elements corresponding to the antenna.

[0235] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a resource allocation device.

[0236] Figure 11 Schematically shows a block diagram of the resource allocation device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure.
