[0141] Before introducing the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, the relevant technologies will be introduced first.

[0142] In related technologies, NTN has initially discussed downlink coverage enhancement, while the periodic extension of the Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) is still under discussion in Radio Access Network Working Group 1 (RAN1).

[0143] However, current discussions on downlink coverage enhancement solutions do not yet address optimization mechanisms for beam hopping strategies. In other words, a beam management optimization method is lacking to adapt to NTN multi-beam hopping scenarios and reduce NTN system power consumption.

[0144] In this application, an optimization mechanism for beam hopping strategy is designed, which saves unnecessary beam hopping while ensuring downlink coverage, thereby improving the overall system performance.

[0145] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating the implementation of the information processing method according to an embodiment of this application, applied to a first network node. The method includes steps 101 to 102:

[0146] Step 101: Receive first information; wherein the first information represents information related to terminals within the current coverage area of ​​the first network node.

[0147] It is understood that the first network node can refer to a Radio Access Network (RAN) node such as a base station, a relay node such as a satellite relay node, and so on.

[0148] It is understandable that the first network node obtains information about the terminals within its current coverage area in order to obtain an optimized beam hopping strategy. This optimized beam hopping strategy can save unnecessary beam hopping in downlink coverage enhancement, thereby improving overall performance.

[0149] The process of the first network node obtaining the first information is explained in the following sections, depending on the circumstances.

[0150] In the first scenario, the first network node acquires first information related to the connected terminal.

[0151] Based on this, in some embodiments, receiving the first information includes:

[0152] At the current moment and / or a historical moment, receive the second information sent by the first terminal in the connected state within the current coverage area of ​​the first network node, and use the second information as the first information;

[0153] The second information includes at least one of the following:

[0154] The precise or approximate location information of the first terminal;

[0155] The random access preamble sent by the first terminal;

[0156] A pulse signal sent by the first terminal;

[0157] A random number sent by the first terminal;

[0158] The QoS requirements of the services provided by the first terminal.

[0159] It is understood that the current moment may refer to the moment when the first network node optimizes the beam hopping strategy.

[0160] It is understood that the historical moment can refer to a point in time relative to the current moment.

[0161] It is understandable that the precise location information of the first terminal can refer to the specific location of the first terminal, which can be represented by high-precision latitude and longitude coordinates.

[0162] Understandably, the coarse location information of the first terminal may refer to the approximate location of the first terminal, which can be represented by low-precision latitude and longitude coordinates or regions.

[0163] It is understandable that the random access preamble of the first terminal may refer to a preamble.

[0164] It is understandable that the pulse signal sent by the first terminal could refer to a rectangular pulse signal, an ultra-wideband pulse signal, or the like.

[0165] It is understandable that the random number sent by the first terminal may refer to a random number generated using a random number algorithm.

[0166] It is understandable that the QoS requirements of the first terminal's services can be used to meet the performance requirements of different services such as voice and video. The QoS requirements may include latency, packet loss rate, reliability, etc.

[0167] It is understandable that the QoS requirements of the first terminal's services may also include the frequency requirements of different services such as voice and video for providing services to the network, which can be expressed as the number of times services are provided per unit time. For example, taking voice as an example, the frequency of voice services provided to the network is 5 times per hour.

[0168] Here, for the first information related to the connected terminal, the connected terminal may report or send at least one of the following auxiliary information to the first network node, such as the RAN node: the terminal's precise or approximate location information; a random access preamble (but it is not necessary to report the subsequent Msg2 to Msg4 messages); a pulse signal; a random number; and QoS requirements.

[0169] In the second scenario, the first network node acquires the first information related to the idle terminal.

[0170] Based on this, in some embodiments, receiving the first information includes:

[0171] At the current moment and / or a historical moment, receive third information sent by at least one second terminal in a connected state within the current coverage area of ​​the first network node, and use the third information as the first information;

[0172] The third information includes at least one of the following:

[0173] The precise or approximate location information of a third terminal that is idle within a preset distance range of the second terminal;

[0174] The relative distance between the third terminal and the second terminal;

[0175] The QoS requirements of the services provided by the third terminal;

[0176] The number of the third terminals.

[0177] It is understood that the current moment may refer to the moment when the first network node optimizes the beam hopping strategy.

[0178] It is understood that the historical moment can refer to a point in time relative to the current moment.

[0179] It is understood that the precise location information of the third terminal can refer to the specific location of the third terminal, which can be represented by high-precision latitude and longitude coordinates.

[0180] It is understood that the coarse location information of the third terminal may refer to the approximate location of the third terminal, which can be represented by low-precision latitude and longitude coordinates or regions.

[0181] It is understandable that a third terminal that is idle within a preset distance range of the second terminal can send its precise or approximate location information to the second terminal through short-range communication technology.

[0182] It is understood that the relative distance between the third terminal and the second terminal may refer to the distance between the positions of the third terminal and the second terminal.

[0183] It is understood that the QoS requirements of the third terminal's services can be used to meet the performance requirements of different services such as voice and video. The QoS requirements may include latency, packet loss rate, reliability, etc.

[0184] It is understood that the QoS requirements of the third terminal's services may also include the frequency requirements of different services such as voice and video for providing services to the network, which can be expressed as the number of times services are provided per unit time. For example, taking voice as an example, the frequency of voice services provided to the network is 5 times per hour.

[0185] It is understood that the number of third terminals may refer to the number of third terminals that are idle within a preset distance range of the second terminal.

[0186] Here, the first information related to the idle terminal can be reported by the connected terminal. Specifically, based on short-range communication technology (such as sidelink), the terminals within a certain distance range can exchange their respective location information. At least one connected terminal can collect and report the relevant information of the idle terminals, such as user equipment (UE), within the current preset distance range to the first network street, such as the RAN node. The reported information can be at least one of the following: the precise or approximate location information of the idle third terminal within the preset distance range of the connected second terminal, the relative distance of the third terminal to the second terminal that performed the reporting behavior, the QoS requirements of the third terminal, and the number of third terminals collected.

[0187] In the third scenario, the first network node obtains the first information related to the terminal that initiated the registration with the core network node.

[0188] Based on this, in some embodiments, receiving the first information includes:

[0189] At the current moment and / or a historical moment, receive the fourth information sent by the core network node, and use the fourth information as the first information;

[0190] The fourth piece of information includes at least one of the following:

[0191] Terminal location information at the cell level;

[0192] The QoS requirements of the terminal's services.

[0193] It is understood that the current moment may refer to the moment when the first network node optimizes the beam hopping strategy.

[0194] It is understood that the historical moment can refer to a point in time relative to the current moment.

[0195] It is understood that the terminal location information at the cell level can refer to reporting on a cell-by-cell basis. For example, assuming the first network node covers 3 cells, the terminal location information in cell 1, cell 2, and cell 3 are respectively sent to the first network node on a cell-by-cell basis.

[0196] It is understood that the QoS requirements of the terminal's services can be used to meet the performance requirements of different services such as voice and video. The QoS requirements may include latency, packet loss rate, reliability, etc.

[0197] It is understood that the QoS requirements of the terminal's services may also include the frequency requirements of different services such as voice and video for providing services to the network, which can be expressed as the number of times services are provided per unit time. For example, taking voice as an example, the frequency of voice services provided to the network is 5 times per hour.

[0198] Here, the registration process is used to send the terminal location information and / or QoS requirements at the cell level to the first network node, such as the RAN node.

[0199] It should be noted that the first network node can simultaneously receive at least one of the second, third, and fourth information, and use at least one of the second, third, and fourth information as the first information, and subsequently determine the optimized beam hopping strategy based on the first information.

[0200] Step 102: Make a prediction based on the first information to obtain an optimized beam hopping strategy; and / or optimize the initial beam hopping strategy based on the first information to obtain an optimized beam hopping strategy.

[0201] It is understood that the prediction based on the first information to obtain the optimized beam hopping strategy can refer to predicting the frequency and / or service time of beam hopping service to the coverage area based on the first information, thereby obtaining the optimized beam hopping strategy. Specifically, the first information can be used as an input data set, and an artificial intelligence (AI) model can be trained using this input data set. The trained AI model can then be used to make predictions to obtain the optimized beam hopping strategy.

[0202] It is understood that the initial beam hopping strategy may include the frequency of beam hopping service to the coverage area and / or the service time of beam hopping service to the coverage area.

[0203] In some embodiments, the optimized beam hopping strategy includes at least one of the following:

[0204] The more terminals there are in the coverage area, the higher the frequency of beam hopping service to the coverage area, and / or the longer the service time of beam hopping service to the coverage area.

[0205] The higher the QoS requirements of the terminal's service within the coverage area, the higher the frequency of beam hop service to the coverage area, and / or the longer the service time of beam hop service to the coverage area;

[0206] The higher the frequency at which terminals within the coverage area require network services, the higher the frequency of beam hopping service to the coverage area, and / or the longer the service time of beam hopping service to the coverage area.

[0207] It is understood that the coverage area can be one or more of the following: cell, satellite beam coverage, service area, ground fixed area, and network-configured coverage / service area.

[0208] It is understood that the precise or approximate location information of the first terminal, the random access preamble sent by the first terminal, a pulse signal sent by the first terminal, and a random number sent by the first terminal can all be used to count the number of terminals in the coverage area.

[0209] It is understandable that the precise or approximate location information of the third terminal in an idle state within the preset distance range of the second terminal, the relative distance of the third terminal to the second terminal, and the number of the third terminal can all be used to count the number of terminals in the coverage area.

[0210] It is understandable that the terminal location information at the cell level can be used to count the number of terminals within the coverage area.

[0211] It is understood that the QoS requirements of the services of the first terminal, the third terminal, and the terminal can all be used to determine the QoS requirements of the services of the terminals within the coverage area, as well as the frequency at which the terminals within the coverage area need to be provided with network services.

[0212] It is understandable that the more terminals there are in the coverage area, the higher the frequency of beam hop service to the coverage area, indicating that the number of terminals in the coverage area is positively correlated with the frequency of beam hop service to the coverage area. That is, the frequency of beam hop service to the coverage area increases with the increase of the number of terminals in the coverage area.

[0213] It is understandable that the more terminals there are in the coverage area, the longer the service time of beam hop service to the coverage area. This indicates that the number of terminals in the coverage area is positively correlated with the service time of beam hop service to the coverage area. That is, the service time of beam hop service to the coverage area increases with the increase of the number of terminals in the coverage area.

[0214] It is understandable that the higher the QoS requirements of the services of the terminals within the coverage area, the higher the frequency of beam hopping service to the coverage area. This indicates that the QoS requirements of the services of the terminals within the coverage area are positively correlated with the frequency of beam hopping service to the coverage area, that is, the frequency of beam hopping service to the coverage area increases as the QoS requirements of the services of the terminals within the coverage area increase.

[0215] It is understandable that the higher the QoS requirements of the services of the terminals within the coverage area, the higher the frequency of beam hop service to the coverage area. This indicates that the QoS requirements of the services of the terminals within the coverage area are positively correlated with the service time of beam hop service to the coverage area. That is, the service time of beam hop service to the coverage area increases as the QoS requirements of the services of the terminals within the coverage area increase.

[0216] It is understandable that the higher the frequency at which terminals within the coverage area require network services, the higher the frequency of beam hopping service to the coverage area, indicating that the frequency of beam hopping service to the coverage area increases as the frequency at which terminals within the coverage area require network services increases.

[0217] It is understandable that the higher the frequency with which terminals within the coverage area require network services, the longer the service time for beam hopping service to reach the coverage area, indicating that the service time for beam hopping service to reach the coverage area increases with the increase in the frequency with which terminals within the coverage area require network services.

[0218] Here, the first network node, such as the RAN node, can predict or optimize the beam hopping strategy based on one or more auxiliary information among the second, third, and fourth information mentioned above, to obtain the optimized beam hopping strategy.

[0219] It is understood that optimizing the initial beam hopping strategy based on the first information can refer to optimizing the initial beam hopping strategy according to a preset adjustment rule. The preset adjustment rule can refer to optimizing the initial beam hopping strategy according to one or more of the following conditions:

[0220] Based on the number of terminals in the coverage area, the initial beam hopping strategy is adjusted. For example, the more terminals there are in the coverage area, the higher the frequency of beam hopping service to that coverage area, and / or the longer the service time of beam hopping service to that coverage area.

[0221] Based on the QoS requirements of terminal services within the coverage area, the initial beam hopping strategy is adjusted. For example, the higher the QoS requirements of terminal services within the coverage area, the higher the frequency of beam hopping service to that coverage area, and / or the longer the service time of beam hopping service to that coverage area.

[0222] Based on the frequency at which terminals within the coverage area require network services, the initial beam hopping strategy is adjusted. For example, the higher the frequency at which terminals require network services (such as requiring real-time or millisecond (ms) level communication services), the higher the frequency of beam hopping service to that coverage area, and / or the longer the service time of beam hopping service to that coverage area.

[0223] Here, for the above combination of conditions, based on network configuration in different scenarios, any one of the following can be used as the priority judgment condition: the number of terminals in the coverage area, the QoS requirements of terminal services in the coverage area, and the frequency at which terminals in the coverage area need network services.

[0224] Based on this, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0225] The number of terminals within the coverage area, the QoS of the services provided by the terminals within the coverage area, and the frequency at which the terminals within the coverage area require network services will be used as the priority criteria.

[0226] It is understandable that when at least two of the following factors determine the optimized beam hopping strategy—the number of terminals within the coverage area, the QoS of the services provided by the terminals within the coverage area, and the frequency at which the terminals within the coverage area require network services—any one of these factors can be used as the priority criterion to adjust the initial optimized beam hopping strategy.

[0227] In practical applications, after the first network node, such as the RAN node, obtains a new beam hopping strategy through prediction or optimization, it also needs to update the network-side configuration parameters of the terminals affected by the beam hopping strategy and send the updated network configuration parameters to the terminals to ensure alignment on both sides.

[0228] Based on this, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0229] The network configuration parameters of terminals within the coverage area targeted by the beam hopping strategy are adjusted to obtain the adjusted network configuration parameters.

[0230] It is understood that adjusting the network configuration parameters of terminals within the coverage area targeted by the beam hopping strategy can refer to adjusting the network configuration parameters of terminals within the coverage area targeted by the optimized beam hopping strategy.

[0231] Understandably, after the frequency and / or service time of beam hopping service to the coverage area are adjusted, the network configuration parameters of terminals within that coverage area also need to be adjusted. These network configuration parameters refer to SSB configuration parameters, DTX, DRX configuration parameters, etc.

[0232] In some embodiments, adjusting the network configuration parameters of terminals within the coverage area targeted by the beam hopping strategy includes:

[0233] According to the first adjustment principle, the SSB configuration parameters of the terminals in the coverage area targeted by the beam skipping strategy are adjusted.

[0234] And / or,

[0235] According to the second adjustment principle, the DTX and / or DRX configuration parameters of the cells in the coverage area targeted by the beam skipping strategy are adjusted.

[0236] In some embodiments, the SSB configuration parameters include at least one of the following:

[0237] SSB cycle, wherein the SSB cycle includes the next SSB cycle or multiple future SSB cycles;

[0238] Valid time information, which includes at least one of the following: absolute start and end time, absolute start time and duration, relative time and duration;

[0239] The DTX and / or DRX configuration parameters include at least one of the following:

[0240] DTX and / or DRX activation time;

[0241] DTX and / or DRX cycles;

[0242] DTX and / or DRX starting offset;

[0243] DTX and / or DRX slot offset;

[0244] DTX and / or DRX types;

[0245] DTX and / or DRX activation status.

[0246] It is understandable that the SSB period refers to the time interval between repeated transmissions of the SSB signal. The next SSB period or multiple future SSB periods are relative to the point in time when the optimized beam hopping strategy is obtained.

[0247] It is understood that the effective time information may refer to the effective usage time of the SSB cycle.

[0248] In some embodiments, the first adjustment principle includes: when the coverage area targeted by the beam hopping strategy receives more beam services and / or longer service time, adjusting at least one of the following: the SSB cycle configuration has a shorter cycle, and the effective time information corresponding to each SSB cycle is longer; the effective time information represents the usage duration of the adjusted SSB cycle;

[0249] The second adjustment principle includes: when the coverage area targeted by the beam skipping strategy receives more beam service and / or longer service time, adjusting at least one of the following: longer DTX and / or DRX activation time, shorter DTX and / or DRX cycle.

[0250] It is understandable that after optimizing the beam hopping strategy on the network side, the network side configuration parameters affected by the optimized beam hopping strategy need to be updated simultaneously.

[0251] Here, the update and adjustment of SSB configuration parameters includes: the update of the next SSB or multiple future SSB cycles, and / or the valid time information corresponding to each new SSB cycle; the valid time information corresponding to each new SSB cycle can be one or more of the following forms: absolute start and end time (absolute start time UTC1, absolute end time UTC2), absolute start time (UTC1) + duration, relative time (difference relative to the end time of the current SSB cycle) + duration.

[0252] Here, the adjustment principles for SSB configuration parameters include: when the coverage area targeted by the optimized beam hopping strategy receives more beam services and / or longer service times, at least one of the following adjustments will be affected: the SSB cycle configuration will be shorter, and the effective time information corresponding to each new SSB cycle will be longer.

[0253] Here, the updates and adjustments to the DTX and / or DRX configuration parameters include one or more of the following: DTX and / or DRX activation time (onDurationTimer), DTX and / or DRX cycle, DTX and / or DRX start offset (startoffset), DTX and / or DRX slot offset (slotoffset), DTX and / or DRX type (config type), and DTX and / or DRX activation status (activationStatus).

[0254] Here, the adjustment principles for DTX and / or DRX configuration parameters include: when the coverage area targeted by the optimized beam hopping strategy receives more beam services and / or longer service times, at least one of the following adjustments will be affected: longer DTX and / or DRX activation time, shorter DTX and / or DRX cycle.

[0255] In practical applications, the network sends updated network configuration parameters to the terminals to ensure alignment. Specifically, the updated configuration parameters or parameter changes can be sent to the terminals within the coverage area targeted by the optimized beam hopping strategy through one or more of broadcast messages or dedicated signaling. The terminals then perform SSB detection using a new cycle after the next update, and perform measurements based on the new measurement parameters. They also perform data transmission and reception based on the new DTX and / or DRX configuration parameters.

[0256] Based on this, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0257] Adjusted network configuration parameters are sent to terminals within the coverage area targeted by the beam hopping strategy via broadcast messages and / or dedicated signaling.

[0258] In practical applications, network nodes, such as RAN nodes, can exchange optimized beam hopping strategies and updated network configuration parameters. Specifically, after optimizing the beam hopping strategy for terminals within its current coverage area, the first network node corresponding to the current serving cell sends the optimized beam hopping strategy and updated network configuration parameters to the second network node of the upcoming neighboring cell based on time information. After the second network node, i.e. the new network node, takes over the current area, it uses the beam hopping strategy and updated network configuration parameters to provide services and continues to predict or optimize and update network configuration parameters based on one or more auxiliary information related to terminals within the current coverage area of ​​the second network node, obtained at the current time and / or historical time.

[0259] Based on this, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0260] Based on the time information, the optimized beam hopping strategy and / or adjusted network configuration parameters are sent to the second network node.

[0261] It is understood that the time information may refer to the remaining service time information of the first network node. For example, if the remaining service time information indicates that the service will end after a preset duration, the optimized beam hopping strategy and the adjusted network configuration parameters can be sent to the second network node before the preset duration is reached.

[0262] Here, when the network node is a satellite relay node, the orbit type of the network node can also be considered. Network nodes of the same orbit type can directly use interactive beam hopping strategies and updated network configuration parameters; network nodes of different orbit types can directly use interactive beam hopping strategies, but the update of network configuration parameters needs to be further adjusted to account for the latency changes caused by orbital altitude differences, and the adjusted parameters should be sent back to the terminal. Specifically, for the case of changing from a lower orbit to a higher orbit, the network configuration parameters that need further adjustment include at least one of the following: a longer SSB period configuration, a shorter effective time information corresponding to each new SSB period; a shorter DTX and / or DRX activation time, and a longer DTX and / or DRX period; a longer period and a shorter duration in the measurement configuration parameters. For the case of changing from a higher orbit to a lower orbit, the above parameters are adjusted in the opposite direction.

[0263] Based on this, in some embodiments, when the first network node and the second network node are network nodes of different track types, and the first network node is on a lower track and the second network node is on a higher track, the second network node readjusts the adjusted network configuration parameters.

[0264] The readjustment includes at least one of the following:

[0265] SSB cycle configuration has a longer cycle;

[0266] The effective time information is shorter;

[0267] DTX and / or DRX activation time is shorter;

[0268] DTX and / or DRX cycles are longer;

[0269] The measurement cycle for configuration parameters is longer;

[0270] The duration is shorter.

[0271] In some embodiments, when the first network node and the second network node are network nodes of different track types, and the first network node is on a higher track and the second network node is on a lower track, the second network node readjusts the adjusted network configuration parameters.

[0272] The readjustment includes at least one of the following:

[0273] SSB cycle configuration has a shorter cycle;

[0274] The effective time information is longer;

[0275] DTX and / or DRX activation times are longer;

[0276] DTX and / or DRX cycles are shorter;

[0277] The measurement cycle in the configuration parameters is shorter;

[0278] It lasts longer.

[0279] In practical applications, after the network updates the network-side configuration parameters affected by the optimized beam hopping strategy and synchronizes them to the terminal, the terminal can use the network configuration parameters to provide feedback on the beam hopping strategy service performance to further assist the network in optimizing the beam hopping strategy again. It can report at least one of the following information: the duration for which the reference signal received power (RSRP) and / or reference signal received quality (RSRQ) exceeds a preset first threshold, the time information for completing a complete communication process and the corresponding communication process type (such as random access (RACH) 1 minute), and the probability of a radio link failure (RLF).

[0280] Based on this, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0281] The first network node receives fifth information sent by terminals within the coverage area targeted by the beam hopping strategy; the fifth information is used to assist the first network node in further optimizing the optimized beam hopping strategy; wherein the fifth information includes at least one of the following:

[0282] Information on the duration during which the reference signal received power and / or reference signal received quality exceed a preset first threshold;

[0283] The time information for completing a full communication process and the corresponding communication process type;

[0284] The probability of a wireless link failure.

[0285] It is understood that receiving the fifth information sent by a terminal within the coverage area targeted by the beam hopping strategy can refer to receiving the fifth information sent by a terminal within the coverage area targeted by the optimized beam hopping strategy.

[0286] It is understood that the communication process types may include random access, cell handover, etc.

[0287] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0288] Based on the fifth piece of information, the optimized beam skipping strategy is further optimized:

[0289] If the duration during which the reference signal received power and / or the reference signal received quality exceeds a preset first threshold is less than a preset second threshold, increase the beam transmit power and / or adjust the beam service coverage area that meets the transmit power threshold.

[0290] If the time to complete a full communication process exceeds a preset third threshold, increase the probability of beam service coverage area and / or service time.

[0291] If the probability of a wireless link failure is higher than a preset fourth threshold, increase the beam transmit power or adjust the beam service coverage area that meets the transmit power threshold, and / or increase the probability and / or service time of the beam service coverage area.

[0292] Here, after receiving feedback from the terminal, the network side can further optimize the beam hopping strategy based on at least one of the following conditions:

[0293] If the duration for which the reference signal received power (RSRP) and / or the reference signal received quality (RSRQ) exceeds a preset first threshold is less than a preset second threshold, the beam transmit power is increased and / or the beam that meets the transmit power threshold is adjusted to serve the coverage area.

[0294] If the time to complete a full communication process exceeds a preset third threshold, the probability and / or service time of beam service in the coverage area will be increased.

[0295] If the probability of a wireless link failure (RLF) is higher than a preset fourth threshold, increase the beam transmit power or adjust the beam that meets the transmit power threshold to serve the coverage area, and / or increase the probability and / or service time of the beam serving the coverage area.

[0296] The embodiments of this application have the following advantages:

[0335] It is understood that the QoS requirements of the third terminal's services may also include the frequency requirements of different services such as voice and video for providing services to the network, which can be expressed as the number of times services are provided per unit time. For example, taking voice as an example, the frequency of voice services provided to the network is 5 times per hour.

[0336] It is understood that the number of third terminals may refer to the number of third terminals that are idle within a preset distance range of the second terminal.

[0337] Here, the first information related to the idle terminal can be reported by the connected terminal. Specifically, based on short-range communication technology (such as sidelink), the terminals within a certain distance range can exchange their respective location information. At least one connected terminal can collect and report the relevant information of the idle terminals, such as user equipment (UE), within the current preset distance range to the first network street, such as the RAN node.

[0338] It is understood that the prediction based on the first information to obtain the optimized beam hopping strategy can refer to predicting the frequency and / or service time of beam hopping service to the coverage area based on the first information to obtain the optimized beam hopping strategy. Specifically, the first information can be used as an input data set, a first model can be trained using this input data set, and the trained first model can be used for prediction to obtain the optimized beam hopping strategy.

[0339] It is understood that the initial beam hopping strategy may include the frequency of beam hopping service to the coverage area and / or the service time of beam hopping service to the coverage area.

[0340] In some embodiments, the optimized beam hopping strategy includes at least one of the following:

[0344] It is understood that the coverage area can be one or more of the following: cell, satellite beam coverage, service area, ground fixed area, and network-configured coverage / service area.

[0345] It is understood that the precise or approximate location information of the first terminal, the random access preamble sent by the first terminal, a pulse signal sent by the first terminal, and a random number sent by the first terminal can all be used to count the number of terminals in the coverage area.

[0349] It is understandable that the more terminals there are in the coverage area, the higher the frequency of beam hop service to the coverage area, indicating that the number of terminals in the coverage area is positively correlated with the frequency of beam hop service to the coverage area. That is, the frequency of beam hop service to the coverage area increases with the increase of the number of terminals in the coverage area.

[0350] It is understandable that the more terminals there are in the coverage area, the longer the service time of beam hop service to the coverage area. This indicates that the number of terminals in the coverage area is positively correlated with the service time of beam hop service to the coverage area. That is, the service time of beam hop service to the coverage area increases with the increase of the number of terminals in the coverage area.

[0351] It is understandable that the higher the QoS requirements of the services of the terminals within the coverage area, the higher the frequency of beam hopping service to the coverage area. This indicates that the QoS requirements of the services of the terminals within the coverage area are positively correlated with the frequency of beam hopping service to the coverage area, that is, the frequency of beam hopping service to the coverage area increases as the QoS requirements of the services of the terminals within the coverage area increase.

[0352] It is understandable that the higher the QoS requirements of the services of the terminals within the coverage area, the higher the frequency of beam hop service to the coverage area. This indicates that the QoS requirements of the services of the terminals within the coverage area are positively correlated with the service time of beam hop service to the coverage area. That is, the service time of beam hop service to the coverage area increases as the QoS requirements of the services of the terminals within the coverage area increase.

[0353] It is understandable that the higher the frequency at which terminals within the coverage area require network services, the higher the frequency of beam hopping service to the coverage area, indicating that the frequency of beam hopping service to the coverage area increases as the frequency at which terminals within the coverage area require network services increases.

[0354] It is understandable that the higher the frequency with which terminals within the coverage area require network services, the longer the service time for beam hopping service to reach the coverage area, indicating that the service time for beam hopping service to reach the coverage area increases with the increase in the frequency with which terminals within the coverage area require network services.

[0355] Here, the first network node, such as the RAN node, can predict or optimize the beam hopping strategy based on one or more auxiliary information among the second, third, and fourth information mentioned above, to obtain the optimized beam hopping strategy.

[0356] It is understood that optimizing the initial beam hopping strategy based on the first information can refer to optimizing the initial beam hopping strategy according to a preset adjustment rule. The preset adjustment rule can refer to optimizing the initial beam hopping strategy according to one or more of the following conditions:

[0357] Based on the number of terminals in the coverage area, the initial beam hopping strategy is adjusted. For example, the more terminals there are in the coverage area, the higher the frequency of beam hopping service to that coverage area, and / or the longer the service time of beam hopping service to that coverage area.

[0358] Based on the QoS requirements of terminal services within the coverage area, the initial beam hopping strategy is adjusted.

[0361] In practical applications, after the first network node, such as the RAN node, obtains a new beam hopping strategy through prediction or optimization, it also needs to update the network-side configuration parameters of the terminals affected by the beam hopping strategy and send the updated network configuration parameters to the terminals to ensure alignment on both sides.

[0362] Based on this, in some embodiments, the terminal is a terminal within the coverage area targeted by the beam hopping strategy, and the method further includes:

[0363] The network configuration parameters are received from the first network node via broadcast messages and / or dedicated signaling.

[0364] Understandably, after the frequency and / or service time of beam hopping service to the coverage area are adjusted, the network configuration parameters of terminals within that coverage area also need to be adjusted. These network configuration parameters refer to SSB configuration parameters, DTX, DRX configuration parameters, etc.

[0383] The probability of a wireless link failure.

[0384] It is understood that the communication process types may include random access, cell handover, etc.

[0385] In practical applications, after the second network node, i.e. the new network node, takes over the current area, it can also update the network configuration parameters to optimize the beam hopping strategy. Based on this, this application also provides an information processing method.

[0386] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the implementation flow of the information processing method according to an embodiment of this application, applied to a second network node. The method includes step 301:

[0387] Step 301: Receive the optimized beam hopping strategy and / or adjusted network configuration parameters sent by the first network node.

[0388] In practical applications, network nodes, such as RAN nodes, can exchange optimized beam hopping strategies and updated network configuration parameters. Specifically, after optimizing the beam hopping strategy for terminals within its current coverage area, the first network node corresponding to the current serving cell sends the optimized beam hopping strategy and updated network configuration parameters to the second network node of the upcoming neighboring cell based on time information. After the second network node, i.e. the new network node, takes over the current area, it can use the beam hopping strategy and updated network configuration parameters to provide services. It can also continue to predict or optimize the optimized beam hopping strategy based on one or more auxiliary information related to terminals within the current coverage area of ​​the second network node, obtained at the current time and / or historical time. Alternatively, it can update the network configuration parameters.

[0389] Here, when the network node is a satellite relay node, the orbit type of the network node can also be considered. Network nodes of the same orbit type can directly use the interactive beam hopping strategy and updated network configuration parameters; network nodes of different orbit types can also directly use the interactive beam hopping strategy, but the update of the network configuration parameters needs to be further adjusted to account for the time delay changes caused by the orbital altitude difference. The adjusted parameters are then sent back to the terminal, and the beam hopping strategy is optimized again based on the terminal's feedback. The specific process is similar to the process of optimizing the beam hopping strategy of the first network node. Specifically, for the case of changing from a lower orbit to a higher orbit, the network configuration parameters that need to be further adjusted include at least one of the following: a longer SSB period configuration, a shorter effective time information corresponding to each new SSB period; a shorter DTX and / or DRX activation time, a longer DTX and / or DRX period; a longer period and a shorter duration in the measurement configuration parameters. For the case of changing from a higher orbit to a lower orbit, the above parameters are adjusted in the opposite direction.

[0390] Based on this, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0391] When the first network node and the second network node are network nodes of different track types, and the first network node is on a lower track and the second network node is on a higher track, the second network node readjusts the adjusted network configuration parameters.

[0392] The readjustment includes at least one of the following:

[0393] SSB cycle configuration has a longer cycle;

[0394] The effective time information is shorter;

[0395] DTX and / or DRX activation time is shorter;

[0396] DTX and / or DRX cycles are longer;

[0397] The measurement cycle for configuration parameters is longer;

[0398] The duration is shorter.

[0399] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0400] When the first network node and the second network node are network nodes of different track types, and the first network node is on a higher track and the second network node is on a lower track, the second network node readjusts the adjusted network configuration parameters.

[0401] The readjustment includes at least one of the following:

[0402] SSB cycle configuration has a shorter cycle;

[0403] The effective time information is longer;

[0404] DTX and / or DRX activation times are longer;

[0405] DTX and / or DRX cycles are shorter;

[0406] The measurement cycle in the configuration parameters is shorter;
