[0064] Embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application and should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0065] In a possible embodiment, in the scenario where users move at medium to high speeds, a switch occurs on average every 3 s. The end - user switches between beams frequently, resulting in a significant decline in the throughput experience during the switch, and even an increase in dropped calls. The current time - division scanning scheme provides the same network coverage and duration for each user.

[0066] In a possible embodiment, in the area with a large number of users, there are many types of service models. With the same scheduling resources, the perception in the area with more users is poor. The scanning scheme of the current solution has the same resource scheduling for each area.

[0067] The disadvantages of the related technology are as follows:

[0068] 1. It is impossible to distinguish between high, medium, and low - speed users and provide personalized beam pointing solutions for users. As a result, the experiences of different users are inconsistent, and situations such as a decline in network speed and network disconnection may occur, leading to a decline in the usage experience of this user.

[0069] 2. It is impossible to distribute according to the user distribution situation, resulting in different network speeds and network qualities experienced by users in different locations, and unable to provide the best network experience for users.

[0070] To address this problem, embodiments of the present application provide a beam management method, Figure 1Schematic flow chart of a beam management method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0071] Step 101, determine the current working mode, where the working mode is used to characterize the factors that the beam pointing gives priority to.

[0072] In this embodiment, beamforming is performed by the base station (S-gNB) to transmit beams. Beamforming technology is a technology that transmits signals in an energy-concentrated and directional manner to wireless terminals, which can comprehensively improve the signal quality received by wireless terminals and increase the throughput.

[0073] The basic principle of forming a beam is to utilize the property of multi-wave interference. If the interference between multi-waves is in-phase interference, the interaction between the waves will increase the amplitude, which belongs to constructive interference; however, if the interference between multi-waves is out-of-phase interference, the interference between the waves will reduce the amplitude, which belongs to destructive interference.

[0074] If multi-waves propagate in 2D or 3D space, the interference generated will exhibit a specific pattern, that is, constructive interference is manifested in some parts of the space, while destructive interference is manifested in another part of the space. The part of constructive interference forms a beam pointing in a specific direction. The simplest way to form a beam is to place multiple antennas in an array. Placing multiple antennas in an array requires antenna alignment. The simplest method of antenna alignment is to arrange the antennas in a row, that is, a uniform linear array ULA.

[0075] Beam management enables the beam coverage to cover multiple terminal devices scattered in various directions through the idea of managing / controlling beams, and the management / control mechanism should vary according to the scenario.

[0076] Optionally, the working mode includes a first working mode and a second working mode. In the first working mode, the user moving speed is given priority, and in the second working mode, the number of users is given priority.

[0077] In a possible embodiment, a speed priority node and a service priority node are added to the base station. These nodes are used to adjust the beam pointing according to the change of the user rate or the user distribution, so as to achieve dynamic on-demand beam service.

[0078] Step 102, obtain the network-related data corresponding to the terminals currently accessing the base station according to the working mode;

[0079] In this embodiment, the working mode of the base station is determined by the current scenario. When the base station transmits electromagnetic waves, the beam to be transmitted in which direction is determined by evaluating the network-related data from the terminals, so that the beam received by the user meets the service requirements and improves the user's network usage experience.

[0080] Step 103: Adjust the beam direction according to whether the network-related data meets the preset conditions in the working mode.

[0081] In this embodiment, multiple conditions are preset in the working mode. By comparing these conditions with the network-related data, corresponding beam management strategies are implemented according to whether the network-related data meets the preset conditions in the working mode, and corresponding beams are generated to meet the service requirements in different scenarios.

[0082] This embodiment can distinguish high, medium, and low-speed users in the first working mode and provide personalized beam direction solutions for users; in the second working mode, the beam is adjusted according to the user distribution to provide users with the best network experience.

[0083] This embodiment provides another beam management method. Figure 2 It is a schematic flowchart of a beam management method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 2 shown, Figure 1 Step 102 in it may include the following steps:

[0084] Step 201: If the current is the first working mode, obtain the longitude, latitude, and altitude reported by the terminal.

[0085] In this embodiment, the first working mode gives priority to considering the user's moving speed, so data related to the terminal speed needs to be obtained. It should be noted that when the first working mode takes effect, only relevant factors such as the user's moving speed need to be considered when determining the beam, and relevant factors in the second working mode (such as the number of users, etc.) do not need to be considered.

[0086] Optionally, the base station adds a reporting node to receive data such as the longitude, latitude, altitude, reporting times, low-speed threshold, and high-speed threshold reported by the terminal for beam management.

[0087] Step 202: Determine the moving speed of the terminal according to the longitude, latitude, and altitude.

[0088] In this embodiment, the terminal does not directly upload its moving speed, so the base station calculates the moving speed of the terminal according to the changing trend of the longitude, latitude, and altitude reported by the terminal over time.

[0089] In a possible embodiment, if it is determined that the terminal has moved 600 meters within 1 minute according to the longitude, latitude, and altitude reported by the terminal, the moving speed of the terminal can be calculated as 10 m / s, that is, 36 km / h.

[0090] Step 203: Determine the user type according to the moving speed.

[0091] In this embodiment, users corresponding to the terminal are divided into multiple user types according to the moving speed, and corresponding beam management strategies are pre-configured for each user type. Corresponding beams can be generated according to the corresponding strategies.

[0092] Optionally, step 203 determines the user type according to the moving speed, including:

[0093] If the moving speed is less than the first speed threshold, the user type is determined to be a low-speed user;

[0094] If the moving speed is greater than or equal to the first speed threshold and less than the second speed threshold, the user type is determined to be a medium-speed user;

[0095] If the moving speed is greater than or equal to the second speed threshold, the user type is determined to be a high-speed user.

[0096] In a possible embodiment, the first speed threshold is 10 m / s and the second speed threshold is 50 m / s.

[0097] Optionally, step 103 adjusts the beam direction according to whether the network-related data meets the conditions preset in the working mode, including:

[0098] If there are medium-speed users or high-speed users, the corresponding beam residence duration is determined according to the user type, where the beam residence duration corresponding to high-speed users is greater than that corresponding to medium-speed users, and the beam residence duration corresponding to medium-speed users is greater than that corresponding to low-speed users; and / or

[0099] If there are no medium-speed users and high-speed users, the beam direction is adjusted according to the preset beam direction.

[0100] In this embodiment, the speed of the user per unit time is calculated according to the reported longitude, latitude and altitude of the set terminal. When it is less than the low-speed threshold (the first speed threshold), it is a low-speed user. When it is greater than the high-speed threshold (the second speed threshold), it is a high-speed user. The intermediate value is a medium-speed user. In this cycle, the order of the beam residence duration and priority is high speed > medium speed > low speed. If no user meets the medium-speed and high-speed thresholds, the original time-division beam direction scheme is executed, and the preset beam direction is included in this direction scheme.

[0101] Optionally, in the original time-division beam direction scheme, the beam direction is determined in a polling manner. That is, the millimeter-wave base station transmits system messages in a wide-beam rotation manner and provides the cell reference signal (SSB) at the same time. That is to say, the coverage ranges provided by multiple wide beams of the cell represent the coverage range of the cell. There are also multiple receiving beams on the millimeter-wave terminal side, and the beam rotation reception method is used to select a suitable beam.

[0102] In a possible embodiment, the S-gNB executes a beam hopping scheme and points to users at different positions through time-division scanning. The S-gNB enables the speed priority mode, with the reporting times being 3, the high-speed threshold being 50 m / s, the low-speed threshold being 10 m / s, and the continuous service duration of the user being 1 minute. Three terminals UE1, UE2, and UE3 access within the beam coverage of the S-gNB1. When the moving speeds calculated from the differences in the longitude, latitude, and altitude between the first and second, and the second and third periodic reports of UE1 both reach the high-speed threshold, the moving speed of U2 is a value between the high-speed threshold and the low-speed threshold, and the moving speed of UE3 is lower than the low-speed threshold. Within 1 minute, the S-gNB adjusts the beam to point to these 3 users respectively through time division according to the longitude, latitude, and altitude reported by the users. Among them, the beam preferentially points to the high-speed user UE1 and stays at UE1 for 3 dwelling periods, then adjusts to point to UE2 and stays for 2 dwelling periods, and finally adjusts the beam to point to UE3 and stays for 1 dwelling period. When the continuous service time of the user ends, the original time-division beam pointing scheme is executed. If there is a user meeting the high-speed or medium-speed threshold, continue according to the high-speed or medium-speed priority strategy. If no user meets the high-speed or medium-speed threshold, execute the original time-division beam pointing scheme.

[0103] Optionally, step 102 obtains network-related data corresponding to the terminals currently accessing the base station according to the working mode, including:

[0104] If the current is the second working mode, obtain the number of users or user traffic corresponding to each wave position.

[0105] In this embodiment, the number of users or user traffic corresponding to each wave position is preferentially considered in the second working mode. It should be noted that when the second working mode takes effect, only relevant factors such as the number of users or user traffic need to be considered when determining the beam, and the relevant factors in the first working mode (such as the moving speed of the user, etc.) do not need to be considered.

[0106] Optionally, the base station adds a reporting node for receiving data such as the number of users, the continuous service time of the user, and user traffic of the terminal for beam management.

[0107] Optionally, step 103 adjusts the beam pointing according to whether the network-related data meets the preset conditions in the working mode, including:

[0108] If there is a preferred wave position among the wave positions, determine the beam dwelling duration corresponding to the preferred wave position according to the preset preferred beam duration, where the number of users corresponding to the preferred wave position is greater than the preset user number threshold or the user traffic is greater than the preset user traffic threshold; and / or

[0109] If there is no preferred wave position among the wave positions, adjust the beam pointing according to the preset beam pointing.

[0110] In a possible embodiment, the S-gNB enables the service priority mode, the reporting frequency is 3, the user number threshold is 20, and the user continuous service duration is 1 minute. By means of time-division scanning, the number of users and traffic conditions of each wave position can be obtained. The number of users reported by the UE for wave position 1 three times within the periodic reporting is 21 each time, and the number of users for wave position 2 three times is 10 each time. Within 1 minute, the S-gNB points to different wave positions by means of time-division scanning. The beam preferentially points to wave position 1 and stays for 3 dwell cycles, and then adjusts to point to wave position 2 and stays for 1 dwell cycle. When the user continuous service time ends, if the number of users in no wave position reaches the user number threshold, the original time-division beam pointing scheme is executed.

[0111] In a possible embodiment, the S-gNB enables the service priority mode, the reporting frequency is 4, the user traffic threshold (i.e., the user traffic threshold) is 100 MB, and the user continuous service duration is 1 minute. By means of time-division scanning, the number of users and traffic conditions of each wave position can be obtained. The user traffic of wave position 1 reported by the UE four times within the periodic reporting is 10 MB each time, and the user traffic of wave position 2 four times is 120 MB each time. Within 1 minute, the S-gNB points to different wave positions by means of time-division scanning. The beam preferentially points to wave position 2 and stays for 3 dwell cycles, and then adjusts to point to wave position 1 and stays for 1 dwell cycle. When the user continuous service time ends, if the user traffic in no wave position reaches the user traffic threshold, the original time-division beam pointing scheme is executed.

[0112] Through this embodiment, users with different speeds are distinguished to ensure network coverage for high-speed and medium-speed users. Different user distributions and traffic conditions are distinguished to ensure the best network experience for wave positions with more users. The S-gNB's ability to hierarchically manage different users is realized, and the product competitiveness is improved. The users in the medium- and high-speed scenarios and the areas with more users are ensured to provide them with the best network experience and perception.
