The UE then performs channel quality measurements based on the measurement parameters configured for each orbit. Specifically, the UE measures channel quality using two mobility management reference signals: SSB-RS (Synchronization Signal Block - Reference Signal) and CSI-RS (Channel State Information - Reference Signal), thereby obtaining key channel quality indicators. The UE reports this information to the network equipment through periodic or event-driven measurements for signal scheduling and mobility management. Summary of the Invention

[0087] In the embodiments of this application, configuration / instruction refers to the network device configuring / instructing directly or indirectly through higher-layer signaling. Configuration / instruction can be achieved by introducing higher-layer parameters into the higher-layer signaling, where higher-layer parameters refer to information fields and / or information elements / information units / information cells (IEs) in the higher-layer signaling.

[0088] In the embodiments of this application, the reference signal is, for example, a synchronization signal block (PBCHBlock, SSB), a cell reference signal (CRS), a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), and so on.

[0089] The 3rd Generation Partnership Project Technical Report (3GPP TR) 22.870, in its Release 20 6G use cases and service requirements, clearly states that 6G networks will achieve ubiquitous connectivity through both terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks to meet specific Quality of Service (QoS) standards and ensure seamless global coverage. In non-terrestrial networks, due to the highly dynamic nature of satellites, satellite beams experience frequent channel state changes, increasing the demand for channel measurement and reporting. Furthermore, 3GPP TR 22.870 also proposes use cases for low-Earth orbit (LEO) sparse constellation deployments, requiring satellite operators to guarantee uninterrupted service to users even before the constellation is fully deployed. Multi-track coordinated channel measurement, as a potential solution to achieve this goal, has significant application value for 6G non-terrestrial networks.

[0090] In existing technical solutions, one way to measure channel quality in multi-orbit satellite communication scenarios is as follows: network equipment on each orbit independently configures the measurement parameters of the reference signal based on the channel quality data actually measured by the terminal equipment. Specifically, the terminal equipment measures channel quality using two mobility management reference signals, SSB-RS and CSI-RS, to obtain key channel quality indicators. These indicators include measured values ​​of Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), and Signal-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR). The terminal equipment reports the measured channel quality indicator information to the network equipment through periodic or event-driven measurements, enabling the network equipment to perform signal scheduling and mobility management.

[0091] In summary, the existing method of independently configuring measurement parameters for each track network device using reference signals has the following problems:

[0092] (1) High measurement cost

[0093] Spectrum resource overhead: Frequent reference signal measurements require a certain amount of spectrum resources and transmit power. Especially in non-terrestrial networks or high-dynamic environments, frequent reference signal measurements may increase the overall communication cost.

[0094] Signaling overhead: The reporting of measurement results requires transmission via air interface signaling. Frequent reporting of measurement results will generate additional air interface signaling overhead, leading to increased consumption of air interface resources and increased burden on the air interface.

[0095] (2) Delay and real-time issues

[0096] In non-terrestrial network scenarios, the round-trip time between satellite and ground is significant, and the high speed of satellite movement generates substantial Doppler frequency offset. This causes the measurement channel information acquired by network devices to become outdated, failing to reflect the user's actual channel quality in a timely manner. Network devices configuring measurement parameters based on outdated measurement channel data suffer from large delays and poor real-time performance, thus impacting user experience and system response speed. Furthermore, the method of independently configuring measurement parameters for each orbital network device results in untimely adjustments to measurement parameters on the network device side.

[0097] Therefore, how to achieve timely adjustment of measurement parameters of various track network devices and reduce the measurement overhead of terminal devices has become a key challenge that urgently needs to be addressed.

[0098] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a satellite communication system, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the satellite communication system includes: network device 101, terminal device 102, and network device 103. For simplicity, Figure 2 This example uses only one terminal device and two network devices, but the embodiments of this application are not limited to this. Network device 103 is a network device that works in tandem with network device 101.

[0099] In this embodiment of the application, network devices 101 and 103 and terminal device 102 can transmit existing services or services that can be implemented in the future. For example, these services may include, but are not limited to: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine type communication (mMTC), and ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC), etc.

[0100] For example, terminal device 102 can send data to network devices 101 and 103, such as using authorized or unauthorized transmission methods. Network devices 101 and 103 can receive data sent by one or more terminal devices 102 and send feedback information to terminal device 102, such as ACK / NACK confirmation information. Based on the feedback information, terminal device 102 can confirm the end of the transmission process, or can initiate new data transmission, or can retransmit the data.

[0101] Network devices 101 and 103 can send data to terminal device 102 using unicast, multicast, or broadcast methods. Terminal device 102 can receive data sent by one or more network devices (e.g., dual-connection or multi-connection) via the downlink or by terminal device 102 via a sidelink.

[0102] Specifically, network device 101 is configured to perform the following operations: dynamically configure measurement parameters based on second channel quality data, wherein the second channel quality data is predicted based on the first channel quality data actually measured by the terminal device; send the measurement parameters to terminal device 102, or send the measurement parameters to network device 103 in a cooperative track, which then sends the measurement parameters to the terminal device. In practice, network device 101 first determines the channel fluctuation parameters based on the second channel quality data; then, it dynamically configures the measurement parameters for the terminal device based on the channel fluctuation parameters. In non-cooperative track scenarios, network device 101 sends the measurement parameters to terminal device 102. In cooperative track scenarios, network device 101 sends the measurement parameters to network device 103 in a cooperative track, which then sends the measurement parameters to terminal device 102. Specifically, network device 103 in a cooperative track can send the measurement parameters to terminal device 102 when the terminal device performs beam switching.

[0103] Terminal device 102 is configured to perform the following operations: receive measurement parameters sent by network device 101 or network device 103 in a cooperative orbit. Furthermore, terminal device 102 is also configured to perform channel quality measurements using a reference signal based on the measurement parameters.

[0104] Multi-orbit coordination includes at least one of the following: inter-satellite switching within the same orbital plane, and cross-orbit switching.

[0105] The first channel quality data includes the channel quality data actually measured within a first time window, and the second channel quality data includes the predicted channel quality data within a second time window. The second time window is adjacent to the first time window. For example, if the current time is t, the range of the first time window is from t-N1+1 to t, and the range of the second time window is from t to t+N2, where N1 and N2 are time units. In implementation, after each actual measurement of channel quality data for a first time window, the second channel quality data is predicted using a channel prediction model. Measurement parameters are then configured based on the predicted second channel quality data, thereby enabling dynamic configuration of measurement parameters. The channel prediction model reflects the mapping relationship between the channel quality data within the first time window and the channel quality data within the second time window.

[0106] The channel quality data includes at least one of the following: RSRP value and SINR value.

[0107] The measurement parameters include at least time-domain and / or frequency-domain measurement configurations, typically associated with the measurement period and the time-frequency density of the reference signal. In some implementations, network device 101 transmits the measurement parameters to terminal device 102 via the Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer.

[0108] Among them, the channel fluctuation parameters include at least one of the following: channel state change rate and bit error rate.

[0109] The channel state change rate calculation process includes: obtaining the channel state change rate by calculating the correlation of channel quality within the second time window, or obtaining the channel state change rate by calculating the difference of channel quality within the second time window, or obtaining the channel state change rate by calculating the variance of channel quality within the second time window.

[0110] The bit error rate calculation process includes: the channel bit error rate can be calculated using the channel quality within the second time window.

[0111] This embodiment is applicable to multi-orbit collaborative scenarios. A network device in one orbit (e.g., LEO) performs the measurement parameter determination operation, automatically triggering network devices in the collaborating orbits (e.g., MEO or GEO) to pre-configure the measurement parameters. This eliminates the need for the collaborating orbits to repeatedly perform the measurement parameter determination operation, reducing the resource overhead of network devices in determining measurement parameters, ensuring seamless switching between different orbits, and guaranteeing the continuity of terminal device services. Specifically, in sparse LEO constellation deployment use cases, for coverage blind spots existing in LEO satellites, MEO or GEO satellites obtain measurement parameter configurations in advance based on the measurement parameters transmitted by the LEO satellites, ensuring the continuity of terminal device services.

[0112] Simultaneously, based on the channel quality data actually measured by the terminal device, second channel quality data is predicted. Channel fluctuation parameters are then determined based on this second channel quality data. Measurement parameters are dynamically configured for the terminal device according to these channel fluctuation parameters. This avoids the intermediate steps of relying on real-time measurement with reference signals, as is done in traditional solutions. It reduces the system's dependence on frequent reference signal measurements, lowers the latency in obtaining measurement results, allows for early detection of channel changes, and enables timely adjustment of measurement parameters. This, in turn, reduces spectrum resource consumption and signaling overhead, optimizes air interface resource allocation, and improves communication efficiency. This embodiment is particularly effective in reducing measurement frequency and optimizing satellite link resource utilization in environments with slow channel changes.

[0113] In summary, this application can flexibly adjust measurement parameters under different orbital altitudes and different channel dynamic conditions, thereby effectively reducing spectrum resource overhead and air interface signaling overhead in resource-limited environments.

[0114] In some embodiments, network devices 101 and 103 are further configured to send measurement parameters to terminal devices associated with user groups to which the terminal devices belong.

[0115] User groups can be categorized according to at least one of the following methods: service model, terminal device type, or beamwidth (beam coverage). For example... Figure 2 The diagram shows how terminal devices are grouped into user groups based on wave positions.

[0116] In detail, terminal devices within a user group that have similar channel characteristics or resource requirements can share measurement parameters. For example, grouping by service mode means users in the same user group have similar network resource requirements and real-time requirements, enabling them to share measurement parameters. Another example is grouping by terminal type, where terminal devices of the same type have similar requirements for measurement parameter configuration; for instance, IoT devices need to conserve energy, while drones require increased measurement frequency due to their high-speed movement. Yet another example is grouping by beam position, where terminal devices under the same beam coverage are affected by similar physical environments, resulting in highly correlated channel states, allowing them to share channel prediction models.

[0117] This embodiment enables terminal devices within a user group to share measurement parameters by setting up user groups and sending measurement parameters to the terminal devices in that user group, thereby improving the configuration efficiency of measurement parameters for each terminal device.

[0118] In some embodiments, the second channel quality data is predicted using a pre-trained channel prediction model. In practice, the first channel quality data actually measured by the terminal device is input into the channel prediction model, which then predicts the second channel quality data.

[0119] The channel prediction model is trained using historical channel quality data measured by the terminal device. The input to the channel prediction model is the channel quality data actually measured by the terminal device within a first time window (first channel quality data), and the output is the channel quality data predicted by the terminal device within a second time window (second channel quality data). Figure 3 As shown, the first time window 301 and the second time window 302 maintain continuity in time. For example, the first time window 301 is N1 time units before the current time, and the second time window 302 is N2 time units after the current time. N1 and N2 are positive integers and can be set according to actual needs.

[0120] In non-terrestrial networks, the periodic motion of satellite orbits causes channel quality to be time-dependent. Therefore, by establishing a channel prediction model, it is possible to effectively learn the mapping relationship between channel data in the later time window (i.e., the second time window) and the earlier time window (i.e., the first time window), and then to quickly predict the future channel quality (i.e., the second channel quality data) based on the channel prediction model.

[0121] This embodiment uses a pre-established channel prediction model to predict channel quality data, reducing the time delay caused by traditional reference signal measurement, and can quickly predict future channel fluctuations.

[0122] Currently, 3GPP's standardization projects on Artificial Intelligence (AI) use cases only focus on CSI prediction on the terminal device side. This clarifies that the CSI prediction use case model is deployed solely on the terminal device side, and the model is trained using local data by the terminal device. However, when there are a large number of terminal devices, independently trained models lead to data redundancy and resource waste. Furthermore, independently trained models suffer from low accuracy due to limited data volume. In addition, the limited computing power, storage capacity, and battery life of terminal devices make it difficult to support complex AI model training and inference.

[0123] Furthermore, unlike terrestrial network scenarios, in non-terrestrial networks, multiple terminal devices may be illuminated within the narrow beam coverage area. To more effectively utilize the channel prediction model for channel quality prediction and address the aforementioned technical issues, in some embodiments, the network device 101 may train the channel prediction model as follows:

[0124] First, the terminal devices are grouped to obtain user groups. For example, the terminal devices can be grouped according to the service mode, terminal device type, or beam position (beam coverage range).

[0125] Then, network device 101 trains a channel prediction model for each user group. Specifically, the channel prediction model for each user group is trained using the historical actual measured channel quality data of the terminal devices related to each user group.

[0126] In this model, the channel prediction model for each user group employs distributed decision-making, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the input to the channel prediction model for each user group is the channel quality data 401 (i.e., the first channel quality data) actually measured by a single terminal device within the first time window, and the output of the channel prediction model for each user group is the channel quality data 402 (i.e., the second channel quality data) predicted by a single terminal device within the second time window. During the decision-making phase, the terminal devices associated with each user group can share the channel prediction model for that user group.

[0127] In the channel prediction model determined in this embodiment, during the model training phase, terminal devices within the same user group share channel quality data to avoid redundant training and thus improve data utilization efficiency. During the model decision phase, the shared channel prediction model trained on the network side is used to predict channel quality, which can improve the applicability and efficiency of the model.

[0128] This application employs a distributed decision-making channel prediction model, which, compared to a centralized decision-making channel prediction model (such as...),... Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the following technical effects can be achieved:

[0129] (1) Reduced computational overhead: Centralized decision-making involves input and output data covering information of terminal devices (UE1, ..., UE K) within the entire user group. The number of model parameters increases with the number of UEs in the user group, resulting in high training complexity. Distributed decision-making only considers the strategy of each UE, with relatively fewer model parameters, which can reduce the computational overhead of the model.

[0130] (2) Scalability: For centralized decision-making, when the number of UEs in a user group changes, the input and output dimensions of the model will also change, requiring relearning. For distributed decision-making, when the number of UEs in a user group changes, the input and output dimensions of the model remain unchanged, and there is no need to relearn. This allows for better adaptation to the dynamic and resource-constrained environment of non-terrestrial networks, and improves the scalability of the channel prediction model.

[0131] (3) Reduced response time: Centralized decision-making requires transmitting UE information to the network side first, and then distributing the decision to each UE after the network side completes the decision, resulting in a long decision response time. Distributed decision-making is carried out directly on the local machine, resulting in a short decision response time.

[0132] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the channel prediction model training process for each user group includes:

[0133] 601, Collect channel quality data actually measured by terminal devices related to each user group;

[0134] 602. Based on the channel quality data actually measured by the terminal devices related to each user group, construct a training sample set for each user group;

[0135] 603. Using the training sample sets of each user group, a prediction model is trained to obtain the channel prediction model for each user group.

[0136] Among them, the channel prediction model for each user group is used to predict the second channel quality data of the terminal equipment related to each user group.

[0137] This embodiment trains a channel prediction model for each user group using historical channel quality data from terminal devices within each user group. This enables channel quality data sharing among terminal devices within a user group, improving data utilization efficiency. Furthermore, compared to training the channel prediction model independently for each terminal device, this approach reduces the capability requirements of the terminal devices, avoids redundant training, reduces training resource overhead, and improves model training efficiency.

[0138] The channel prediction model for each user group is shared by the terminal devices entering each user group, which can better adapt to the dynamic and resource-constrained environment of non-terrestrial networks and improve the scalability of the model.

[0139] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, after training the channel prediction model for each user group, the following steps are also included:

[0140] 701. Based on the channel quality data actually measured by all terminal devices related to each user group, construct a monitoring sample set for each user group;

[0141] 702. By using the monitoring sample set of each user group, the performance of the channel prediction model of each user group is monitored.

[0142] 703. Retrain the channel prediction model for user groups that do not meet the preset conditions. The preset conditions include, for example, that the error between the predicted channel quality data and the actual channel quality data is less than a preset threshold, which can be determined based on the actual prediction accuracy.

[0143] This embodiment monitors the performance of the channel prediction model for each user group, enabling timely updates to the channel prediction model and improving the prediction accuracy of the channel prediction model for each user group.

[0144] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8As shown, the framework of the channel prediction model for managing each user group in network device 101 includes: a data collection unit 801, a model training unit 802, a model management unit 803, a model storage unit 804, and a model inference unit 805. Among these, Figure 8 This information is derived from 3GPP TR 38.843 technical report.

[0145] The data collection unit 801 is used to collect channel quality data actually measured by all terminal devices related to each user group, including training data, monitoring data, and inference data. The training data and monitoring data are historical channel quality data actually measured by the terminal devices, such as data collected over a past period. Specifically, the training data includes a training sample set for each user group, and the monitoring data includes a monitoring sample set for each user group. The inference data is the channel quality data measured by the terminal device for the current first time window.

[0146] The model training unit 802 is used to train the prediction model using the training sample set of each user group to obtain the channel prediction model of each user group, and store the channel prediction model of each user group in the model storage unit 804.

[0147] The model management unit 803 monitors the performance of the channel prediction model for each user group using the monitoring sample set for each user group. When the performance does not meet the requirements, it sends a performance feedback / retraining request to the model training unit 802, which then retrains the channel prediction model (Updated Model) for the user group that does not meet the preset conditions. The retrained channel prediction model is then stored in the model storage unit 804. When the performance meets the requirements, it sends a model transfer / delivery request to the model storage unit 804. The model management unit 803 is also used to adjust the model, such as selecting, activating / deactivating, switching, and rolling back.

[0148] The model management unit 803 is also used to send management instructions to the model inference unit 805.

[0149] After receiving the model transfer / delivery request, the model storage unit 804 transmits the channel prediction model transfer / delivery request it stores to the model inference unit 805.

[0150] The model inference unit 805 inputs the inference data into the corresponding channel prediction model, predicts the second channel quality data, and outputs the inference result to the model management unit 803.

[0151] Based on the established channel prediction model for each user group, the second channel quality data of the terminal device can be quickly predicted.

[0152] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the process for determining adaptive measurement parameters for multi-track coordination includes:

[0153] (1) Network device 101 pre-trains channel prediction models for each user group;

[0154] (2) Terminal device 102 sends the actual measured channel quality data to network device 101;

[0155] (3) Network device 101 receives the channel quality data actually measured by terminal device 102; determines the first channel quality data based on the channel quality data actually measured within a predetermined range; inputs the first channel quality data into the channel prediction model of the group to which the terminal device belongs, and the second channel quality data of terminal device 102 is predicted by the channel prediction model of the group to which the terminal device belongs.

[0156] (4) Network device 101 determines the channel fluctuation parameters based on the second channel quality data;

[0157] (5) Network device 101 dynamically configures measurement parameters for terminal device 102 based on channel fluctuation parameters and triggers the network device to coordinate track to dynamically configure measurement parameters for terminal device 102;

[0158] (6a) Network device 101 sends the terminal device measurement parameters to terminal device 102;

[0159] (6b) Network device 101 sends the terminal device measurement parameters to network device 103 in the cooperative track;

[0160] (6c) The network device 103 of the collaborative track receives the measurement parameters of the terminal device;

[0161] (6d) The network device 103 of the collaborative track sends the measurement parameters of the terminal device to the terminal device 102;

[0162] (7) Terminal device 102 receives measurement parameters;

[0163] (8) The terminal device 102 performs channel quality measurement using a reference signal based on the measurement parameters.

[0164] Steps (6b) to (6d) are optional; either step (6a) or steps (6b) to (6d) can be executed. Steps (6b) to (6d) are applicable to collaborative orbit scenarios and can be executed when the terminal device performs beam switching.

[0165] This embodiment uses a network device storage channel prediction model, which can reduce the storage resource requirements of terminal devices.

[0166] The predetermined range is defined as either the number of measurements M or the measurement time T, where M and T are positive integers. Each network device is configured with its own predetermined range, and the predetermined range configured for each orbit is positively correlated with the altitude of that orbit. That is, M or T has different configurations depending on the orbit. For low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, the satellite's movement speed is high, and the channel may change significantly in a short period; therefore, M or T can be configured with smaller values. For medium-Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, the channel change rate is relatively low, so a moderate M or T can be set and further optimized based on the measurement results. For high-Earth orbit (HEO) satellites, the satellite's movement speed is slower, and the channel change is relatively gradual; therefore, a larger M or T can be selected.

[0167] In practice, channel quality data is predicted once for each predetermined range, channel fluctuation parameters are evaluated based on the predicted channel quality data, and measurement parameters are dynamically configured for the terminal equipment based on the channel fluctuation parameters.

[0168] By using a dynamic measurement parameter configuration scheme, different orbits can respond to channel changes more flexibly and efficiently, improve the resource utilization of satellite links, reduce the air interface transmission burden, and achieve a better communication experience.

[0169] In some implementations, network device 101 may also dynamically configure measurement parameters for the user group to which terminal device 102 belongs, and send the measurement parameters to the terminal devices related to the user group to which terminal device 102 belongs.

[0170] This implementation improves the efficiency of measurement parameter configuration by sharing the measurement parameters of one terminal device with all terminal devices in the group to which that terminal device belongs.

[0171] In some implementations, network device 101 is further configured to: when a new terminal device accesses network device 101, determine the user group to which the new terminal device belongs; and assign the new terminal device to the user group to which the new terminal device belongs.

[0172] For example, when user groups are divided by frequency band, when a new terminal device enters a certain frequency band, the new terminal device can directly use the channel prediction model of that frequency band without having to train a separate channel prediction model for the terminal device.

[0173] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the process for determining adaptive measurement parameters for multi-track coordination includes:

[0174] (1) Network device 101 pre-trains the channel prediction model for each user group and sends the channel prediction model for each user group to the terminal device 102 related to the corresponding user group;

[0175] When user groups are divided into bands, the channel prediction model for that band is sent to the terminal devices entering the band.

[0176] In practice, whenever the channel prediction model of a user packet is updated, the updated channel prediction model of the user packet will also be sent to the terminal equipment related to the user packet.

[0177] (2) Channel prediction model for terminal device 102 receiving user packets sent by network device;

[0178] (3) The terminal device 102 determines the first channel quality data based on the channel quality data actually measured within the predetermined range; and inputs the first channel quality data into the local channel prediction model to predict the second channel quality data.

[0179] (4) Terminal device 102 sends second channel quality data to network device 101;

[0180] (5) Network device 101 determines the channel fluctuation parameters based on the second channel quality data;

[0181] (6) Network device 101 dynamically configures measurement parameters for terminal device 102 based on channel fluctuation parameters;

[0182] (7a) Network device 101 sends the measurement parameters of the terminal device to terminal device 102;

[0183] (7b) Network device 101 sends the measurement parameters of the terminal device to network device 103 of the cooperative track;

[0184] (7c) The network device 103 of the collaborative track receives the measurement parameters of the terminal device;

[0185] (7d) The network device 103 of the collaborative track sends the measurement parameters of the terminal device to the terminal device 102;

[0186] (8) Terminal device 102 receives measurement parameters;

[0187] (9) Terminal equipment 102 performs channel quality measurement using reference signals based on measurement parameters.

[0188] Steps (7b) to (7d) are optional steps; either step (7a) or steps (7b) to (7d) can be executed. Steps (7b) to (7d) are applicable to collaborative orbit scenarios and can be executed when the terminal device performs beam switching. Figure 10 The fact that the network device 103 of the coordinated track sends measurement parameters to the terminal device 102 is only an example. In actual implementation, the network device 103 of the coordinated track can send measurement parameters to other terminal devices.

[0189] This embodiment reduces the processing load on network devices by sending the channel prediction model to the terminal device.

[0190] In the above embodiments, the channel prediction model of each user group is shared by the terminal devices entering each user group, which can better adapt to the dynamic and resource-constrained environment of non-terrestrial networks and improve the scalability of the model.

[0191] In some embodiments, network device 101 is further configured to perform the following operations: when a new terminal device accesses network device 101, determine the user group of the new terminal device; and assign the new terminal device to the user group of the new terminal device.

[0192] In some embodiments, the measurement parameters are dynamically configured based on the channel fluctuation parameters, including:

[0193] When the first condition is met, perform at least one of the following operations:

[0194] Shorten the measurement cycle;

[0195] Increase the time-frequency domain density of the reference signal;

[0196] The first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0197] The channel state change rate is greater than a first preset threshold;

[0198] The bit error rate is greater than the second preset threshold.

[0199] In some embodiments, the measurement parameters are dynamically configured based on the channel fluctuation parameters, including:

[0200] When the second condition is met, perform at least one of the following operations:

[0201] Extend the measurement cycle;

[0202] Reduce the time-frequency domain density of the reference signal;

[0203] The second condition includes at least one of the following:

[0204] The channel state change rate is less than or equal to a first preset threshold;

[0205] The bit error rate is less than or equal to the second preset threshold.

[0206] In some embodiments, the measurement parameters are dynamically configured based on the channel fluctuation parameters, including:

[0207] When the third condition is met, perform at least one of the following operations:

[0208] Extend the measurement cycle;

[0209] Reduce the time-frequency domain density of the reference signal;

[0210] The third condition is that the configuration execution operation is performed when the channel state change rate is greater than the first preset threshold and the bit error rate is less than or equal to the second preset threshold.

[0211] In some embodiments, the measurement parameters are dynamically configured based on the channel fluctuation parameters, including:

[0212] First, determine whether the channel change rate is greater than a first preset threshold;

[0213] If not (i.e., the channel change rate is less than or equal to the first preset threshold), then extend the measurement period or reduce the time-frequency domain density of the reference signal;

[0214] If so (i.e., the channel change rate is greater than the first preset threshold), then determine whether the bit error rate is greater than the second preset threshold;

[0215] If so (i.e., the bit error rate is greater than the second preset threshold), then shorten the measurement period or increase the time-frequency domain density of the reference signal;

[0216] If not (i.e., the bit error rate is less than or equal to the second preset threshold), then extend the measurement period or reduce the time-frequency domain density of the reference signal.

[0217] In some embodiments, when the channel fluctuation parameter includes the channel state change rate, the network device 101 dynamically configures measurement parameters for the terminal device based on the channel fluctuation parameter, including:

[0218] When the channel state change rate is greater than a first preset threshold, perform at least one of the following operations: shorten the measurement period; increase the time-frequency domain density of the reference signal;

[0219] When the channel state change rate is less than or equal to a first preset threshold, perform at least one of the following operations: extend the measurement period; reduce the time-frequency domain density of the reference signal.

[0220] When the channel state change rate is greater than the first preset threshold, it indicates that the channel state is changing rapidly. By shortening the measurement period or increasing the time-frequency domain density of the reference signal, the changes in signal quality can be tracked in a timely manner.

[0221] When the channel state change rate is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, it indicates that the channel state changes slowly. By extending the measurement period or reducing the time-frequency domain density of the reference signal, it is possible to reduce overhead and reduce the air interface transmission burden in satellite links with limited resources.

[0222] The first preset threshold is closely related to the satellite's orbital altitude and the channel's variation characteristics. Specifically, network devices at each altitude orbit are associated with a first preset threshold, and the first preset threshold associated with each orbit's network devices is positively correlated with the orbital altitude. For example, for low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, the channel state changes at a relatively high rate, and the system needs to be able to track these changes in a timely manner; therefore, the first preset threshold should be set to a lower rate of change. For medium-Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, the first preset threshold can be set within a moderate range. For high-Earth orbit (HEO) satellites, a higher first preset threshold can be tolerated, and the first preset threshold can be set to a higher rate of change.

[0223] In some embodiments, when the channel fluctuation parameter includes the bit error rate, the network device 101 dynamically configures measurement parameters for the terminal device based on the channel fluctuation parameter, including:

[0224] When the bit error rate is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, perform at least one of the following operations: extend the measurement period; reduce the time-frequency domain density of the reference signal.

[0225] When the bit error rate is greater than the second preset threshold, perform at least one of the following operations: shorten the measurement period; increase the time-frequency domain density of the reference signal.

[0226] If the bit error rate is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, that is, the bit error rate is kept within an acceptable range, it indicates that the communication quality is still good. By extending the measurement period or reducing the time-frequency domain density of the reference signal, the system burden can be reduced.

[0227] The setting of the second preset threshold needs to consider the different characteristics of satellite orbits. Specifically, network devices at each altitude orbit are associated with a second preset threshold, and the second preset threshold associated with each orbit's network devices is positively correlated with the altitude of that orbit. For example, for low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, the satellite speed is relatively fast, and the bit error rate is usually affected by rapid channel changes. To ensure communication quality, a lower second preset threshold needs to be set. For medium-Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, the satellite speed is moderate, and channel changes are slower than for LEO satellites. The second preset threshold can be appropriately set at a medium level to cope with the relatively stable channel quality changes of MEO satellites. For high-Earth orbit (HEO) satellites, the signal propagation path is long, channel fluctuations are slow, and bit error rate fluctuations are small. Therefore, a higher second preset threshold can be tolerated.

[0228] In some embodiments, when the channel fluctuation parameters include the channel state change rate and the bit error rate, the network device 101 dynamically configures measurement parameters for the terminal device based on the channel fluctuation parameters, including:

[0229] When the channel state change rate is greater than the first preset threshold and the bit error rate is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, perform at least one of the following operations: extend the measurement period; reduce the time-frequency domain density of the reference signal;

[0230] When the channel state change rate is greater than the first preset threshold and the bit error rate is greater than the second preset threshold, perform at least one of the following operations: shorten the measurement period; increase the time-frequency domain density of the reference signal.

[0231] The first preset threshold is closely related to the altitude of the satellite orbit and the variation characteristics of the channel. Specifically, network devices at each altitude orbit are associated with a first preset threshold, and the first preset threshold associated with each network device on each orbit is positively correlated with the altitude of that orbit.

[0232] The setting of the second preset threshold needs to take into account the different characteristics of satellite orbits. Specifically, network devices at each altitude orbit are associated with a second preset threshold, and the second preset threshold associated with each network device at each orbit is positively correlated with the altitude of each orbit.

[0233] In some embodiments, the relationship between dynamically configured measurement parameters and model predictions is as follows: Figure 11As shown, the channel quality data (i.e., the first channel quality data) measured within the first time window of the predetermined range (the number of measurements M or the measurement time T) of the terminal device is first input into the channel prediction model 1101 of the packet to which the terminal device belongs, and the second channel quality data is predicted. Then, the channel fluctuation parameters are calculated based on the second channel quality data, and the channel fluctuation situation is judged based on the channel fluctuation parameters. Next, the measurement parameters are dynamically configured according to the channel fluctuation situation, and the terminal device performs channel quality measurement according to the measurement parameters. After multiple measurements, the above process of using the channel prediction model to perform prediction and subsequent processes is repeated.

[0234] In this embodiment, the channel prediction model takes as input real channel quality measurements over a historical period and outputs predicted channel quality values ​​for a future period. This allows for advance prediction of channel fluctuations, enabling pre-configuration of measurement parameters and reducing the latency of real-time reference signal measurement and reporting. By dynamically configuring measurement parameters using predicted channel quality values, the measurement period can be extended or the reference signal density reduced, thereby decreasing spectrum resource consumption and signaling overhead, optimizing air interface resource allocation, and improving communication efficiency. The end-to-end channel prediction achieved through the channel prediction model reduces the latency associated with traditional reference signal measurements, enhancing the user experience.

[0235] In some embodiments, an adaptive measurement parameter configuration method for multi-track coordination applied to the network device side is also provided, such as... Figure 12 As shown, it includes:

[0236] 1201. Based on the second channel quality data, the measurement parameters are dynamically configured, wherein the second channel quality data is predicted based on the first channel quality data actually measured by the terminal device.

[0237] 1202, send measurement parameters to the terminal device, or send measurement parameters to the network device of the collaborative track, and the network device of the collaborative track sends the measurement parameters to the terminal device.

[0238] The first channel quality data includes the channel quality data actually measured within the first time window, and the second channel quality data includes the channel quality data predicted within the second time window.

[0239] Multi-orbit coordination includes at least one of the following: inter-satellite switching within the same orbital plane, and cross-orbit switching.

[0240] Before step 1201 is executed, the second channel quality data of the terminal device is first acquired. Step 1201 includes: determining the channel fluctuation parameters based on the second channel quality data; and dynamically configuring measurement parameters for the terminal device based on the channel fluctuation parameters.

[0241] During step 1202, the measurement parameters can be sent to the terminal device through the Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer.

[0242] In this embodiment, a network device on one track performs the measurement parameter determination operation, automatically triggering the network device on the coordinating track to pre-configure the measurement parameters. This eliminates the need for the coordinating track to repeatedly perform the measurement parameter determination operation, reducing the resource overhead of the network device in determining the measurement parameters and ensuring the continuity of terminal device services. Simultaneously, based on the first channel quality data actually measured by the terminal device, second channel quality data is predicted. Measurement parameters are then dynamically configured for the terminal device based on the second channel quality data, enabling early detection of channel changes and timely adjustment of measurement parameters. This reduces spectrum resource consumption and signaling overhead, optimizes air interface resource allocation, and improves communication efficiency.

[0243] In some embodiments, the adaptive measurement parameter configuration method for multi-track coordination applied to the network device side further includes: sending the measurement parameters to terminal devices related to the user group to which the terminal device belongs. In some embodiments, user groups are divided according to at least one of the following methods: service mode; terminal device type; waveform.

[0244] In some embodiments, the adaptive measurement parameter configuration method for multi-track coordination applied to the network device side further includes:

[0245] Receive the first channel quality data actually measured and sent by the terminal device;

[0246] The first channel quality data is input into the channel prediction model of the packet to which the terminal device belongs, and the second channel quality data of the terminal device is predicted.

[0247] Among them, the channel prediction model of each user group reflects the mapping relationship between the channel quality data in the first time window and the channel quality data in the second time window.

[0248] In some embodiments, the channel prediction model training process for each user group includes:

[0249] Collect channel quality data actually measured by terminal devices related to each user group;

[0250] Based on the channel quality data actually measured by the terminal devices related to each user group, a training sample set for each user group is constructed.

[0251] By using the training sample sets of each user group, prediction models are trained to obtain the channel prediction models for each user group.

[0252] In some embodiments, after training the channel quality prediction model for each user group, the performance of the channel quality prediction model for each user group is monitored in real time, and the model is updated based on the monitored performance, specifically including:

[0253] Based on the channel quality data actually measured by the terminal devices related to each user group, a monitoring sample set for each user group is constructed.

[0254] The performance of the channel prediction model for each user group is monitored using the monitoring sample set of each user group.

[0255] Retrain the channel prediction model for user groups that do not meet the preset conditions.

[0256] In some embodiments, when a new terminal device accesses a network device, the user group to which the new terminal device belongs is first determined; then the new terminal device is assigned to the user group to which it belongs.

[0257] In some embodiments, the adaptive measurement parameter configuration method for multi-track coordination applied to the network device side further includes:

[0258] Receive the second channel quality data sent by the terminal device;

[0259] The second channel quality data is obtained by the terminal device by inputting the first channel quality data actually measured by the terminal device into the channel prediction model stored locally.

[0260] The channel prediction model on the terminal device side is trained and sent by the network device.
