TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of high-speed rail communication, and particularly relates to a high-speed rail 5G system switching method and device based on dynamic beamforming, equipment and medium. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of intelligent railway and 5G communication technology, the fifth generation mobile communication technology-railway dedicated system (5G for Railway, 5G-R) for train-to-ground communication (T2G) has become a key support for new generation high-speed railway information transmission. Compared with the performance limitation of the railway global system for mobile communications (Global System for Mobile Communications-Railway, GSM-R) with only 16 kHz bandwidth and hundreds of milliseconds of delay, 5G-R has the ability of megahertz-level bandwidth, millisecond-level delay and large connection, which can effectively support high-speed rail operation control, vehicle monitoring and passenger service and other businesses. However, in the high-speed railway scene, the train running speed is as high as 350 km / h or even higher, and the high-speed mobility and weak coverage effect at the cell edge are superimposed, so that the wireless channel presents significant time-varying characteristics and multipath fading characteristics, resulting in frequent switching of communication links and fluctuation of signal quality. The signal interruption and delay in the switching process are important bottlenecks restricting the reliability of the 5G-R system.
[0003] The current 5G switching mechanism is mainly based on the A3 event triggering criterion, that is, when the reference signal received power (RSRP) of the target base station exceeds the RSRP of the source base station and lasts for more than a hysteresis threshold for a period of time, the switching is triggered. This method performs well in low-speed scenarios, but in high-speed scenarios, there are two outstanding problems: (1) Hysteresis criterion failure: high-speed motion causes RSRP measurement lag, triggering time deviates from the optimal switching point, and is prone to early or late switching; (2) Fixed beam coverage is insufficient: in high-frequency communication (such as millimeter wave), the beam direction is not adjusted adaptively with the train movement, which will cause the main lobe of the signal to shift and the gain to drop sharply, thereby increasing the switching failure probability and interruption probability.
[0004] To solve the above problems, researchers have proposed various optimization methods. For example, in the article "Adaptive Handover Algorithm for LTE-R System in High-Speed Railway Scenario", an adaptive A3 threshold adjustment is proposed. In the article "Fast Adaptive Handover Using Fuzzy Logic for 5G Communications on High-Speed Trains", a handover strategy based on location prediction is designed. The former dynamically adjusts the threshold to improve flexibility, but lacks fault tolerance. The latter relies on accurate trajectory and channel priori, which is difficult to cope with rapidly changing environments.
[0005] Beamforming technology improves the signal strength at the cell edge by directional radiation, providing a new way to improve the reliability of high-speed scenario communication. In the article "High-Speed based Adaptive Beamforming Handover Scheme in LTE-R", a fixed beam gain scheme is introduced to enhance the edge signal in a specific coverage interval. However, the fixed beam gain method still has the problem of high tracking overhead, as it needs to adjust the beam direction in real time. Especially in high-speed scenarios, how to achieve optimal matching of beam direction in dynamic channels becomes a key factor in determining the performance of handover.
[0006] In summary, how to fully utilize the directional gain and spatial diversity capability of beamforming, while maintaining high data rates and reducing handover failure rates and beam adjustment overhead, has become a key scientific problem for 5G-R systems. SUMMARY

[0069] In one exemplary embodiment, the technical effects of the present invention will be further illustrated below in conjunction with simulation experiments.
[0070] Simulation software: Python is used.
[0071] Simulation Scenario: Simulates the handover process of a train traveling at 350 km / h from the source base station to the target base station. The distance between the two base stations is 3 km, and the vertical distance between the train and the track is 80 m. Base station and train antenna parameters: base station antenna height 24.5 m, train antenna height 4.5 m, number of base station antennas 16, antenna spacing 0.075 m, coverage radius of 2 km when the base station uses omnidirectional beamforming. Communication and channel parameters: communication center frequency 2.1 GHz, noise power -90 dB, shadow fading standard deviation 4 dB, average surrounding building height 5 m. Handover and simulation settings: handover hysteresis value 2 dB, hysteresis threshold 80 ms, signal threshold -72 dBm, simulation time slot length 40 ms, base station transmit power 35 dBm.
[0072] The simulation content and results analysis are as follows.
[0073] Simulation 1: Under the above simulation scenario and conditions, the dynamic beamforming optimization method proposed in this invention is simulated, and the results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown. Figure 3 The dynamic changes in beam direction during the switching process are shown in the figure.
[0074] Depend on Figure 3 As can be seen, the arrival directions of the source and target base stations change rapidly at both ends of the coverage area, while the change becomes gradual in the middle region. This is due to the different rates of angle change caused by the difference in distance between the train and the base station. The method of this invention can adjust the beam direction in real time according to the change in arrival direction, ensuring stability and adaptability in high-speed moving environments. Meanwhile, the beam direction is not perfectly aligned with the arrival direction in some areas because this invention introduces a beam adjustment penalty mechanism. When the train approaches the base station and the signal quality is good, this mechanism allows for a moderate decrease in alignment accuracy to reduce frequent adjustments, thereby effectively reducing beam adjustment overhead while ensuring communication quality.
[0075] Simulation 2: Under the above simulation scenarios and conditions, the switching performance of the dynamic beamforming optimization method proposed in this invention was simulated, and the results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown. Figure 4 The dynamic changes in the handover failure probability during the handover process are shown in the figure.
[0076] Depend on Figure 4As can be seen, the handover failure probability of the beamforming-free scheme remains at a high level in most locations, only decreasing when the train approaches the edge of the target base station, resulting in low handover reliability. In contrast, the dynamic beamforming method of this invention can adjust the beam direction in real time according to the train's position, rapidly reducing the handover failure probability to near zero in the range of approximately 1300 m to 2200 m, significantly improving the handover success rate. Furthermore, compared to the ideal precise beam alignment scheme, the performance curves of the dynamic beamforming method almost completely overlap, indicating that this method can achieve near-optimal beam alignment results without prior acquisition of precise angle of arrival information. The overall results demonstrate that the dynamic beamforming method of this invention exhibits good adaptability and robustness in high-speed moving scenarios, significantly reducing the handover failure probability while ensuring signal quality, effectively improving the system's communication stability and handover reliability.
[0077] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a method for implementing the above-mentioned high-speed rail 5G system handover method based on dynamic beamforming.
