Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wireless communication, and in particular to an interference processing method and apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] With increasingly scarce wireless spectrum resources, a hybrid sharing approach has sparked widespread discussion, allowing different communication systems (such as cellular networks and WiFi) to operate on the same spectrum. In July 2023, the UK Office of Communications (Ofcom) launched a survey to solicit opinions on the hybrid sharing of the U6G spectrum (6425-7125MHz) between cellular and WiFi networks. The 61st meeting of the European Electronic Communications Committee (ECC) initiated a project to discuss the feasibility of sharing the 6425-7125MHz band between mobile / fixed communications networks (MFCNs) and wireless access systems including Radio Local Area Networks (WAS / RLANs). The advantages of hybrid sharing include reduced investment risk and maximized spectrum utility; the disadvantage is co-channel interference due to the different communication mechanisms used by the coexisting systems. Therefore, how to negotiate the use of the U6G band between different communication systems (such as cellular networks and WiFi) is a problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0065] Unless otherwise specified in this document, the term "first device" and "second device" are used as the main entities for description.

[0066] The "first device" possesses spectrum request functionality and is a Spectrum Inquiry Device (SID). Specifically, it can be understood as a terminal, a device with terminal functionality, or a device that implements terminal functionality. For example, the first device is a terminal, or it can be a module within a terminal (e.g., a chip or circuit). Alternatively, the "first device" can be understood as a network device, a device with network device functionality, or a device that implements network device functionality. For example, the first device is a base station or access point, or it can be a module within a base station or access point (e.g., a chip or circuit), or it can be a module or unit (e.g., CU, DU, or RU) that fully or partially implements the functions of a base station or access point, a logic module, or software. Alternatively, the "first device" can be understood as a device or apparatus with sensing capabilities, or a device or apparatus capable of performing artificial intelligence tasks. A device with sensing capabilities can also be called a sensing device, and a device capable of performing artificial intelligence tasks can also be called an artificial intelligence task execution device.

[0067] The "second device" possesses spectrum management capabilities and is a Spectrum Management Device (SMD).

Among these, a device with sensing capabilities can be called a sensing device, and a device capable of performing artificial intelligence tasks can be called an artificial intelligence task execution device.

A device with sensing capabilities can be called a sensing device, and a device capable of performing artificial intelligence tasks can be called an artificial intelligence task execution device.

[0069] Furthermore, the "first device" and / or the "third device" can be a transmitter or a receiver, and correspondingly the "second device" can be a receiver or a transmitter.

[0070] In addition, "first device" can be replaced by "first equipment", "first spectrum requesting equipment", or "first communication device", "second device" can be replaced by "second equipment", "spectrum management equipment", or "second communication device", and "third device" can be replaced by "third equipment", "second spectrum requesting equipment", or "third communication device".

[0071] In some possible implementations, the "first device" and / or the "third device" have spectrum request functions, which can be a "terminal" (e.g., a "user equipment (UE)" in a cellular network; or a "station (STA)" in a WIFI network) or a "network device" (e.g., a "base station (BS)" in a cellular network; or an "access point (AP)" in a WIFI network); the "second device" has spectrum management functions, which can be a "network device" (e.g., a "BS" in a cellular network; or an "AP" in a WIFI network) or a "core network device", or a "server" (e.g., a cloud server).

[0072] Figures 2A-2DThe diagram illustrates four possible implementation scenarios provided in this application, involving different communication systems (cellular network systems and Wi-Fi network systems) and spectrum management devices operating in the same frequency band / spectrum. The cellular network system includes: BS and UE (UE-1, UE-2); the Wi-Fi network system includes: AP and STA (STA-1, STA-2). The spectrum management device manages the spectrum of the coexisting systems to prevent interference between different communication systems. The spectrum management device can interact with the BS and AP, as well as with the UE (UE-1, UE-2) and STA (STA-1, STA-2). The spectrum management device can connect to an external database. The entity of the spectrum management device can be a server (e.g., a cloud server), a cellular network device (e.g., a BS), a Wi-Fi network device (e.g., an AP), or a core network device; no restrictions are placed here.

[0073] exist Figure 2A In this context, the "first device" can be a BS, which communicates with UE-1 and UE-2 to form a cellular network system; the "third device" can be an AP, which communicates with STA-1 and STA-2 to form a WIFI network system; and the "second device" can be a spectrum management device, which communicates with both the cellular network system and the WIFI network system.

[0074] exist Figure 2B In this context, the "first device" can be a UE (UE-1 or UE-2), which communicates with the BS and forms a cellular network system; the "third device" can be an AP, which communicates with STA-1 and STA-2 and forms a WIFI network system; and the "second device" can be a spectrum management device, which communicates with both the cellular network system and the WIFI network system.

[0075] exist Figure 2C In this context, the "first device" can be a BS, which communicates with UE-1 and UE-2 to form a cellular network system; the "third device" can be a STA (STA-1 or STA-2), which communicates with AP to form a WIFI network system; and the "second device" can be a spectrum management device, which communicates with both the cellular network system and the WIFI network system.

[0076] exist Figure 2D In this context, the "first device" can be a UE (UE-1 or UE-2), which communicates with the BS and forms a cellular network system; the "third device" can be a STA (STA-1 or STA-2), which communicates with the AP and forms a WIFI network system; and the "second device" can be a spectrum management device, which communicates with both the cellular network system and the WIFI network system.

[0077] In this application, "send" and "receive" indicate the direction of signal transmission. For example, "send information to XX" can be understood as the destination of the information being XX, and "send information" can include direct transmission or indirect transmission through other units or modules. "Receive information from YY" can be understood as the source of the information being YY, and "receive information" can include direct reception from YY or indirect reception from YY through other units or modules. Furthermore, "send" can also be understood as the "output" of a chip interface, and "receive" can be understood as the "input" of a chip interface. In other words, "send" or "receive" can occur between devices, such as a base station and a terminal transmitting or receiving data via an air interface. "Send" or "receive" can also occur within a device, such as transmitting or receiving data between components, modules, chips, software modules, or hardware modules within the device via a bus, wiring, or interface.

[0078] Currently, wireless spectrum resources are becoming increasingly scarce, leading to widespread discussion about a hybrid sharing approach that allows different communication systems (such as cellular networks and WiFi) to operate on the same spectrum. The advantages of hybrid sharing include reduced investment risk and maximized spectrum utility; the disadvantage is co-channel interference due to the different communication mechanisms used by the coexisting systems. Therefore, how to negotiate the use of the U6G band among different communication systems (such as cellular networks and WiFi) is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0079] To address the aforementioned issues, spectrum sharing technologies such as New Radio-Unlicensed (NR-U), Long Term Evolution-Unlicensed (LTE-U), and Long Term Evolution Licensed-Assisted Access (LTE-LAA) are employed. Specifically, NR-U, LTE-U, and LTE-LAA are technologies that allow cellular systems and Wi-Fi systems to share unlicensed spectrum. These methods employ a random access mechanism to compete for channels with Wi-Fi. However, when the number of devices in the network is large, the probability of collisions increases, transmission delays increase, and QoS becomes difficult to guarantee.

[0080] In Wi-Fi 6, a spectrum management method based on Automatic Frequency Coordination (AFC) is proposed. Specifically, Wi-Fi 6 proposes that the AFC system can be used to manage standard power access points (SP APs) in the 6 GHz band, preventing them from interfering with inherent devices (such as base stations or terminals in cellular networks) on that band. Figure 3 The diagram shows a flowchart of a spectrum requesting device requesting available spectrum from a spectrum management device, including:

[0081] 1) The SP AP registers the device with the AFC, providing information such as the device ID and installation parameters;

[0082] 2) The SP AP sends a spectrum inquiry request to the AFC, which includes the device ID, installation parameters, device geographical location, desired spectrum, and desired transmit power.

[0083] 3) The AFC sends a spectrum inquiry response to the SP AP, which includes the available spectrum, the available transmit power, and the expiration time. In other words, the AFC decides on spectrum usage based on the requesting SP AP's geographical location and database information. This method is a database-based centralized spectrum management approach that achieves geographical isolation between coexisting systems and avoids mutual interference.

[0084] However, current AFC methods can only manage spectrum based on geographical location information in wireless LAN systems, and do not consider other influencing factors (such as interference information in the environment). Therefore, this method suffers from inaccurate spectrum management, and some interference still exists at the edge of the area.

[0085] Therefore, this application provides an interference processing method and apparatus to solve the problem of inaccurate spectrum management in the prior art.

[0086] Firstly, this application provides an interference processing method, which is used in a first device, such as... Figure 4 As shown, it includes:

[0087] S401: Obtain first interference information;

[0088] For example, obtaining the first interference information includes: obtaining first interference information from a fourth device; and / or detecting and obtaining the first interference information; wherein the fourth device includes a terminal device or a network device.

[0089] For example Figure 5 As shown in the diagram, the first device can be a spectrum request device, the second device can be a spectrum management device, and the user equipment can be a fourth device. Figure 5 As shown, user equipment (UE) can report the acquired interference information to the spectrum requesting device (for example, UE i detects one interference and reports it to the spectrum requesting device with parameters {pos1 = interference location 1, strength1 = -72dBm, freq1 = 6425-6445MHz}; UE j detects two interferences and reports them to the spectrum requesting device with parameters {pos1 = interference location 1, strength1 = -65dBm, freq1 = 6425-6445MHz} and {pos2 = interference location 2, strength2 = -80dBm, freq2 = 6505-6525MHz}, respectively). Subsequently, the spectrum requesting device reports the acquired interference information to the spectrum management device. It is understood that "user equipment" here can be a terminal device, a base station device, or a routing device, or other network device.

[0090] Understandably, in one possible implementation, the interference information obtained by the spectrum requesting device only includes the information reported by the user equipment. That is, the spectrum requesting device only obtains and reports the interference information from the user equipment, but does not detect and obtain the interference itself.

[0091] In another possible implementation, the interference information obtained by the spectrum requesting device only includes the information detected and obtained by itself, that is, the user equipment did not report the interference information or the spectrum requesting device did not obtain the interference information reported by the user equipment.

[0092] In another possible implementation, the interference information obtained by the spectrum requesting device includes information reported by the user equipment and information detected by itself. That is, the spectrum requesting device not only obtains interference information from the user equipment, but also detects and obtains interference itself, and reports the interference information from the user equipment and the user equipment information detected by itself together.

[0093] It is understandable that spectrum requesting devices can detect interference through listening, sensing, or any other means. For example, a terminal device that is simultaneously connected to a cellular network and a Wi-Fi network can determine whether the currently connected cellular network is being interfered with by the Wi-Fi network by listening to the Wi-Fi beacon. As another example, if both cellular networks and Wi-Fi introduce sensing functions, these functions can be used to locate the location of interference.

[0094] For example, the first interference information includes any one or more of the following parameters: interference quantity, interference location, interference intensity, or interference frequency band / interference channel number. It is understood that the interference location can be an absolute location or a relative location, and the relative location can be represented by the location of the spectrum request device and relative distance and angle.

[0095] For example, the format of the first interference information includes: storing different parameters of the same interference together; or storing the same parameters of different interferences together.

[0096] For example, in one possible implementation, such as Figure 6A The interference information shown can include the number of interferences N, and the interference location, interference intensity, and interference frequency band corresponding to each of the N interferences (e.g., interference 1 corresponds to interference location 1, interference intensity 1, and interference frequency band 1... interference N corresponds to interference location N, interference intensity N, and interference frequency band N); common parameters from different interferences can be stored together, for example... Figure 6A The location information of N interferences is stored sequentially, the intensity information of N interferences is stored sequentially, and the frequency band information of N interferences is stored sequentially.

[0097] It is understandable that storing the same parameters from different interferences together can be done in any way, and is not limited to any particular method. Figure 6A The order in which interference location information, intensity information, and frequency band information are stored within the interference information can vary; for example, the order in which interference intensity, frequency band, and location are stored can be arbitrary (e.g., interference intensity is stored first, then interference frequency band, then interference location). Furthermore, the order in which the same parameter from different interferences is stored can also be arbitrary, for example, stored in ascending order based on the interference number (e.g., ...). Figure 6A As shown in the diagram, the interference can be stored either in descending order or according to a pre-defined order; for example, the interference quantity N can also be stored at any position in the interference information, such as the header, the beginning, or any position in the middle, and is not limited to this. Figure 6A The situation in the middle.

[0098] In another possible implementation, for example Figure 6B The format of the interference information shown. For example... Figure 6BAs shown, the interference information can include the number of interferences N, and the interference location, interference intensity, and interference frequency band corresponding to each of the N interferences (e.g., interference location 1, interference intensity 1, and interference frequency band 1 corresponding to interference 1... interference location N, interference intensity N, and interference frequency band N corresponding to interference N); different parameters of the same interference can be stored together. For example, in 6B, the interference location 1, interference intensity 1, and interference frequency band 1 of interference 1 are stored together, the interference location 2, interference intensity 2, and interference frequency band 2 of interference 2 are stored together, and the interference location N, interference intensity N, and interference frequency band N of interference N are stored together.

[0099] It is understandable that storing different parameters from the same interference together can be done in any way, and is not limited to any particular method. Figure 6B The order in which the interference's location, intensity, and frequency band information are stored within the interference information can vary; for example, the order in which the interference intensity, frequency band, and location are stored can be arbitrary (e.g., first the interference intensity, then the interference frequency band, then the interference location). Similarly, the order in which the interference is stored can also be arbitrary, for example, it can be stored in ascending order based on the interference number (e.g., ...). Figure 6B As shown in the diagram, the interference can be stored either in descending order or according to a pre-defined order; for example, the interference quantity N can also be stored at any position in the interference information, such as the header, the beginning, or any position in the middle, and is not limited to this. Figure 6B The situation in the middle.

[0100] S402: Output first interference information to the second device;

[0101] Optionally, the first interference information is output using the original value; or, the first interference information is output using an index and / or enumeration.

[0102] For example Figures 7A-7B As shown, according to Tables 1 and 2, Figure 7A Converting using raw value reporting method Figure 7B The method of reporting based on index.

[0103] Table 1 shows the mapping relationship between interference intensity (dBm) values ​​and their corresponding indices. For example, when the interference intensity is less than -40dBm, the corresponding index is 0; when the interference intensity is greater than -60dBm and less than -70dBm, the corresponding index is 3. Table 2 shows the mapping relationship between interference frequency band (MHz) / channel number values ​​and their corresponding indices. For example, when the interference frequency band is 6425-6445MHz (or the channel number is 97), the corresponding index is 0; when the interference frequency band is 6485-6505MHz (or the channel number is 109), the corresponding index is 3.

[0104] For example, Figure 7A The interference strength (strength1) at location 1 is -65dBm, and its corresponding index is 3 according to the interference strength range in Table 1; the interference frequency (freq1) at location 1 is 6425-6445MHz, and its corresponding index is 0 according to the interference frequency range in Table 2. Similarly, Figure 7A The interference strength (strength2) at interference location 2 is -82dBm, and its corresponding index is 5 according to the interference strength range in Table 1; the interference frequency (freq2) at interference location 2 is 6505-6525MHz, and its corresponding index is 4 according to the interference frequency range in Table 2. Figure 7A The average interference frequency (avl_freq) is 6445-6505MHz. According to the interference frequency range in Table 2, the corresponding indexes are 1, 2, and 3.

[0107]

[0108] Table 2

[0109] Optionally, outputting the first interference information to the second device includes: actively reporting; periodically reporting; or reporting based on a request.

[0110] For example, in the embodiments of this application, the timing of the first device reporting interference information to the second device includes the following three methods:

[0111] 1) The first device actively reports: such as Figure 8A As shown, the first device actively reports interference information to the second device, and then the second device decides on the use of spectrum based on the reported interference information and sends the determined available spectrum to the first device.

[0112] 2) First device cycle reporting: such as Figure 8B As shown, the second device sends an interference information reporting period (e.g., T = 1 min, meaning the first device reports periodically at 1-minute intervals) to the first device. Subsequently, the first device reports interference information to the second device based on this reporting period, for example, reporting interference information once at intervals of T. Afterward, the second device decides on spectrum usage based on the reported interference information and sends the determined available spectrum to the first device.

[0113] It is understandable that the reporting cycle can be determined by the second device, the first device, or a preset value. Figure 8BThis is merely one possible implementation and does not constitute the sole limitation of this application.

[0114] 3) The first device reports based on the request from the second device: for example Figure 8C As shown, the second device sends an interference information reporting request to the first device. The first device reports the corresponding interference information according to the request. Then, the second device decides on the use of spectrum based on the reported interference information and sends the determined available spectrum to the first device.

[0115] Understandable Figures 8A-8C The implementations in these components can be combined to obtain more implementation methods.

[0116] Optionally, before outputting the first interference information to the second device, the method further includes: exchanging capability indication information with the second device. Further, exchanging capability indication information with the second device specifically includes: outputting the interference information reporting types it supports to the second device; and / or, obtaining the interference information reception types supported by the second device.

[0117] For example Figure 9 As shown, before reporting interference information, the spectrum requesting device (e.g., the first device) can interact with the spectrum management device (e.g., the second device) to exchange capability indication information, specifically including the following three methods:

[0118] 1) The spectrum requesting device (e.g., the first device) informs the spectrum management device (e.g., the second device) of the types of interference information reporting it supports: This information can be carried in the device registration or in the interference information reporting;

[0119] 2) The spectrum management device (e.g., the second device) informs the spectrum requesting device (e.g., the first device) of the types of interference information it supports;

[0120] 3) Two-way capability interaction between the spectrum requesting device (e.g., the first device) and the spectrum management device (e.g., the second device), i.e., including 1) and 2).

[0121] The interference information reporting type indication and interference information reception type indication can be represented using indexes or enumeration. Table 3 shows the mapping relationship between the description of the interaction indication information and its corresponding index, along with some examples. For instance, when the indication information is described as "interference information reporting is not supported," its corresponding index is 0; when the indication information is described as "interference location reporting is not supported, and serving user equipment interference information reporting is not supported," its corresponding index is 1, with an example of a UE / STA without awareness capability; or, when the indication information is described as "interference location reporting is supported, but serving user equipment interference information reporting is not supported," its corresponding index is 2, with an example of a UE / STA with awareness capability; or, when the indication information is described as "interference location reporting is not supported, but serving user equipment interference information reporting is supported," its corresponding index is 3, with an example of a BS / AP without awareness capability; or, when the indication information is described as "interference location reporting is supported, and serving user equipment interference information reporting is supported," its corresponding index is 4, with an example of a BS / AP with awareness capability.

[0123] Table 3

[0124] S403: Output the first spectrum request information to the second device;

[0125] Optionally, the first spectrum request information may include parameters such as the ID of the first device, installation parameters, geographical location, spectrum to be used, and transmission power to be used.

[0126] Optionally, the first interference information and the first spectrum request information are sent together; or, the first interference information and the first spectrum request information are sent separately.

[0127] When the first interference information and the first spectrum request information are sent together, for example Figure 10A As shown, the first device sends a first spectrum request message to the second device. This spectrum request message includes first interference information; that is, the first interference information and the first spectrum request message are sent together to the second device. Subsequently, the second device makes a spectrum usage decision based on the first interference information and the first spectrum request message, and sends the determined available spectrum back to the first device. It can be understood that sending the first interference information and the first spectrum request message together can specifically mean that the first spectrum request message includes the first interference information, or vice versa. Figure 10A This application provides only one possible implementation and does not limit the implementation of this application.

[0128] When the first interference information and the first spectrum request information are sent separately, as shown in 10B, the first device sends the first interference information and the first spectrum request information to the second device respectively. The second device then makes a spectrum usage decision based on the first interference information and the first spectrum request information, and sends the determined available spectrum to the first device. It is understood that sending the first interference information and the first spectrum request information separately can specifically mean sending the first interference information first, followed by the first spectrum request information, or vice versa; the order in which they are sent does not limit the execution order in the actual method. Figure 10B This application provides only one implementation method and does not limit the implementation of this application.

[0129] S404: Obtain first spectrum response information from the second device; wherein the first spectrum response information is generated by the second device based on first interference information and first spectrum request information;

[0130] Optionally, the first spectrum response information includes any one or more of the following parameters: transmit power, available spectrum, spectrum effective time, and spectrum ineffective time.

[0131] In one possible implementation, the first spectrum response information is generated by the second device based on the first interference information and the first spectrum request information, specifically including: the first spectrum response information is generated by the second device based on the first interference information, the third interference information, and the first spectrum request information; wherein, the third interference information is the interference information acquired by the third device. For example Figure 11 As shown, the second device also acquires third interference information from the third device, and decides on the spectrum usage of the first device based on the first interference information of the first device, the third interference information of the third device, and the first spectrum query request of the first device, and sends the determined available spectrum of the first device to the first device.

[0132] Through the above implementation, before responding to a spectrum requesting device (e.g., the first device) that is currently requesting spectrum, the spectrum management device (e.g., the second device) can obtain interference information from other spectrum requesting devices (e.g., the third device), and thus make an optimal decision on the available spectrum of the spectrum requesting device that is currently requesting spectrum based on this interference information.

[0133] Understandable Figure 11This application only provides one possible implementation. In practice, there may be other spectrum requesting devices (e.g., a fourth device, a fifth device, ..., an Nth device). The spectrum management device (e.g., a second device) can obtain interference information sent by at least one of the other spectrum requesting devices (e.g., obtain interference information from a third device or a fifth device), and then make a reasonable allocation of the available spectrum of the spectrum requesting device (e.g., a first device) that is currently requesting spectrum based on the interference information.

[0134] S405: Determine the available spectrum based on the first spectrum response information.

[0135] Optionally, the first device and / or the third device may include any one of the following: a terminal device or a network device; the second device may include any one of the following: a network device, a core network device, or a server. For example, the first device and / or the third device may be a UE or BS in a cellular network, or a STA or AP in a WIFI network; the second device may be a BS or core network device in a cellular network, or an AP in a WIFI network, or a server (e.g., a cloud server).

[0136] It is understood that both the first device and the third device in this application are spectrum request devices, therefore the method applicable to the first device is also applicable to the third device.

[0137] The interference handling method in this application has been described above from the perspective of the first device side (i.e., the spectrum requesting device side). The corresponding method from the second device side (i.e., the spectrum management device side) is described below. It is understood that the corresponding methods applicable to the spectrum requesting device side in this application are also applicable to the spectrum management device side, or, for those skilled in the art, only simple adjustments are needed to implement the corresponding methods on the spectrum requesting device side on the spectrum management device side; therefore, the same parts will not be repeated.

[0138] Secondly, this application provides an interference processing method, such as... Figure 12 As shown, the method is applied to a second device, including:

[0139] S1201: Acquire interference information;

[0140] Optionally, the interference information includes: first interference information from the first device; and / or, third interference information from the third device.

[0141] For example, such as Figure 13The interference information acquired by the second device (e.g., a spectrum management device) can be first interference information from only the first device (e.g., a spectrum requesting device), third interference information from only the third device (e.g., a spectrum requesting device), or a combination of first interference information from the first device and third interference information from the third device. Therefore, the second device can respond appropriately to the spectrum request from the spectrum requesting device based on the acquired interference information, thereby improving spectrum utilization and reducing spectrum interference.

[0142] S1202: Obtain first spectrum request information from the first device;

[0143] S1203: Generate first spectrum response information based on interference information and first spectrum request information;

[0144] S1204: Output the first spectrum response information to the first device.

[0145] In the embodiments provided above, the methods provided by the embodiments of this application have been described from the perspectives of the first device / third device and the second device, respectively. To implement the functions of the methods provided by the embodiments of this application, terminals or access network devices, servers, core network devices, etc., may include hardware structures and / or software modules, implementing the above functions in the form of hardware structures, software modules, or a combination of hardware structures and software modules. Whether a particular function is executed in the form of hardware structures, software modules, or a combination of hardware structures and software modules depends on the design constraints of the specific application of the technical solution.

[0146] Therefore, in a third aspect, this application provides a possible structure for a communication device, such as... Figure 14 As shown.
