[0018] Hereinafter, the present invention will be further described with reference to the drawings.
[0019] As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an implementation environment for performing a beam management method according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0020] In the example of FIG. 1, the implementation environment includes a base station 110 and a user device 120, and wireless signals can be transmitted and received between the base station 110 and the user device 120.
[0021] The relative positions of the base station 110 and the user equipment 120 may be appropriately set according to a specific application scenario. For example, the user equipment 120 can move along a radiation sphere formed when the base station 110 radiates a signal to the outside, that is, when there are multiple user equipments 120 and different user equipments 120 are installed according to the above form, the wireless signal transmitted from the base station 110 can be received at different spatial positions. The spatial positions here may be different geographical conditions.
[0022] In one possible embodiment, the user equipment 120 may be called an access terminal, user equipment (UE), user unit, user station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, remote terminal, mobile equipment, user terminal, wireless communication equipment, user agent, or user device. For example, the user equipment 120 may be a mobile phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a handheld device with wireless communication capabilities, a computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, an in-vehicle device, a wearable device, a terminal device in a 5G network or a future 5G or higher network, etc., and this embodiment is not particularly limited thereto.
[0023] The base station 110 has at least a function of performing beam management based on a preset operation logic or a function of performing beam management based on the control of an operator. For example, the base station 110 has at least a function of predicting and managing an optimal beam result, that is, based on a preset operation logic or the control of an operator, a function of configuring a reference signal resource in at least a part of beam transmission directions among all beam transmission directions to obtain a plurality of target test beams, transmitting the plurality of target test beams to the user device 120, receiving beam measurement information obtained by measuring the reference signal resource from the user device 120, predicting an optimal beam result based on the beam measurement information, and transmitting optimal reception method information corresponding to the optimal beam result to the user device 120. Note that the base station 110 may be a general mobile communication base station or a millimeter wave AAS base station, and is not particularly limited here.
[0024] The user equipment 120 has at least functions of receiving transmission scheme information for multiple target test beams and reference signal resources transmitted from the base station 110, measuring the reference signal resources according to the transmission scheme information to obtain beam measurement information, predicting an optimal beam result based on the beam measurement information, and transmitting optimal parameter information corresponding to the optimal beam result to the base station 110. Here, the multiple target test beams are obtained by the base station 110 configuring reference signal resources in at least some beam transmission directions among all beam transmission directions.
[0025] In one possible embodiment, when the receiving device is a base station 110, the signal conditioning device 120 has at least the function of receiving a target reference signal from the base station 110 and transmitting the target reference signal to the base station 110 using a target codebook, for example, in response to an operator's operation on the signal conditioning device 120, it can receive a target reference signal from the user device 120 and transmit the target reference signal to the base station 110 using a target codebook, or receive a target reference signal from the base station 110 and transmit the target reference signal to the user device 120 using the target codebook.
[0026] It should be noted that the above-mentioned functions possessed by the base station 110 and the user equipment 120 can be applied to different application scenarios and are not limited here.
[0027] The implementation environment can be applied to 5G, 6G communication network systems and later evolved mobile communication network systems, and the present embodiment does not particularly limit the same.
[0028] The implementation environment shown in FIG. 1 does not constitute a limitation of the embodiments of the present application, which may include more or fewer elements than those shown, or may combine some elements or arrange the elements in different ways.
[0029] Based on the above implementation environment, various embodiments of the beam management method of the present application will be proposed below.
[0030] As shown in Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a beam management method according to an embodiment of the present application, which is applied to a transmitting device such as the base station 110 in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1. The beam management method may include, but is not limited to, steps S110 to S150.
[0031] Step S110: Configure reference signal resources in at least some of all beam transmission directions to obtain multiple target test beams.
[0032] In this step, in the transmitting device, the multiple target test beams are obtained by configuring reference signal resources in at least some of all beam transmission directions, that is, the target test beams are not necessarily obtained by performing beam scanning configuration in all beam transmission directions, which is advantageous in reducing the overhead of beam training on the transmitting device side and the power consumption and processing delay of the target test beam measurement in the subsequent steps.
[0033] It should be noted that the beam transmission directions of the transmitting device may be multiple, specifically, determined by a preset operation logic or determined based on the control of an operator. After the transmitting device determines all the beam transmission directions, the transmitting device may select and configure at least some of the beam transmission directions, that is, may configure in two cases of selecting some or all of the beam transmission directions, thereby obtaining multiple target test beams. In the following embodiments, these two configuration cases will be described respectively, and detailed description will not be provided here.
[0034] In addition, the multiple target test beams may be different from each other to simulate different beam scanning situations, and the specific number of target test beams may be set according to actual application scenarios, and is not limited here.
[0035] The reference signal resource is A channel state information reference signal CSI-RS resource; and at least one of a synchronization signal and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block SSB resource.
[0036] That is, the configured reference signal resource may be a CSI-RS resource or / and an SSB resource, and the above resources are configured to realize the measurement of the transmitting beam and the scanning of the receiving beam. The CSI-RS resource and the SSB resource are well known to those skilled in the art, and therefore will not be described in detail here.
[0037] As shown in FIG. 3, in one embodiment of the present application, when configuring reference signal resources in some beam transmission directions among all beam transmission directions, step S110 may include, but is not limited to, steps S111 to S112.
[0038] Step S111: In every beam transmission direction, a target transmission direction is obtained by adopting one of uniform sampling, non-uniform sampling or random sampling.
[0039] Step S112: Configure a reference signal resource in a target transmission direction to obtain multiple target test beams.
[0040] In this step, since reference signal resources are not configured for all beam transmission directions, a portion of all beam transmission directions is determined as the target transmission direction, that is, one of uniform sampling, non-uniform sampling or random sampling is adopted, so that the target transmission direction can be accurately obtained, and reference signal resources can be configured in the target transmission direction to obtain multiple target test beams.
[0041] Step S120: Transmit a plurality of target test beams to a receiving device.
[0042] In addition, the transmitting device in this embodiment may be, but is not limited to, the base station 110 in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, and the receiving device in this embodiment may be, but is not limited to, the user equipment 120 in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, or a person skilled in the art may appropriately select and set the transmitting device or receiving device according to the actual application scene, and this embodiment does not limit this. In order to more simply explain the application scene and principle of the present application, the base station is described as the transmitting device and the user equipment is described as the receiving device in each related embodiment below, but it should be understood that this does not limit the embodiments of the present application.
[0043] In this step, in step S110, the base station configures a reference signal resource to obtain multiple target test beams, and then in step S120, the base station can transmit multiple target test beams to the user equipment, so that the user equipment performs beam scanning according to the received target test beams in a subsequent step, thereby realizing measurement of the reference signal resource.
[0044] Note that beam scanning may refer to a process in which a base station or a user equipment sequentially uses different analog beams to cover a spatial region. During beam scanning, the base station or the user equipment sequentially transmits beams from the entire codebook or a codebook subset to find a good transmit-receive beam pair for data and control channels. Specifically, in the beam scanning process on the transmitting side, the base station may configure, but is not limited to, an upper parameter resource set NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet, where each resource set includes multiple CSI-RS or / and SSB resources transmitted by different transmit beams, and the user equipment may use a fixed receive beam to receive and measure the CSI-RS or / and SSB resources, thereby completing the measurement process of the transmit side beam. In addition, the user equipment may adopt a polling method to receive the target test beam transmitted from the base station, that is, in the base station, the CSI-RS resource or set for beam management is repeatedly transmitted multiple times, and the user equipment uses different receive beams to receive, thereby realizing the scanning of the receive beam.
[0045] In another possible embodiment, in the beam scanning at the receiving side, the base station configures an upper parameter resource set NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet, where each resource set includes multiple CSI-RS or / and SSB resources transmitted in the same transmission beam. In this case, the user equipment may use different reception beams to receive and measure the CSI-RS or / and SSB resources, thereby realizing the reception beam scanning. In addition, the base station may adopt a manner of polling and transmitting a target test beam as necessary, i.e., configure multiple CSI-RS resources or / and SSB resource sets transmitted in different transmission beams, thereby realizing the transmission beam scanning.
[0046] Step S130: Receive the beam measurement information transmitted from the receiving device.
[0047] The beam measurement information is obtained by the receiving device by measuring the reference signal resource.
[0048] In this step, since the target test beam with the configured reference signal resource is sent to the user equipment in step S120, the user equipment can measure the reference signal resource according to the received target test beam, obtain corresponding beam measurement information, and send the beam measurement information to the base station, so that the base station can predict the optimal beam result according to the beam measurement information in a subsequent step, thereby improving the accuracy of the base station's prediction of the optimal beam result.
[0049] The beam measurement information is index information of a reference signal resource; Parameter information of the target test beam; and reception scheme information for the reference signal resource.
[0050] The reference signal resource index information represents index information of the reference signal resource to be measured selected by the user equipment, and notifies the base station of the related reference signal resource. The target test beam parameter information represents parameter information of the corresponding target test beam selected by the user equipment, and notifies the base station of the related target test beam parameter information. The reference signal resource reception method information represents a method in which the user equipment receives the measured reference signal resource.
[0051] In one possible embodiment, when the beam measurement information includes parameter information of the target test beam, the parameter information of the target test beam is: Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ), A received signal of a reference signal resource; Signal to Noise Ratio and Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio and and channel state information (CSI).
[0052] It should be noted that the above-listed target test beam parameter information is merely an explanation of a specific example, that is, a person skilled in the art may set fewer or more specific contents of the target test beam parameter information according to specific application scenarios, and is not limited here.
[0053] In one possible embodiment, when the beam measurement information includes reception scheme information for a reference signal resource, the reception scheme information for the reference signal resource is: receive beam index information for a plurality of target test beams; Absolute receive beam direction information for a plurality of target test beams; receive beam relative direction information for a plurality of target test beams; and receive beam pattern information for a plurality of target test beams.
[0054] In addition, the user's reception scheme information for the reference signal resource represents the relevant information of the reception beam used by the user device, that is, the user device reports the contents of its own reception beam direction, index, pattern, etc. to the base station, and the base station performs beam prediction based on the contents. The reception beam index information represents the index or identification number of the reception beam used by the device. The reception beam absolute direction information may be, but is not limited to, the specific position, coordinates, and angle of the reception beam in space. The reception beam relative direction information represents the angle difference of the reception beam with respect to the preset baseline direction, or the angle difference of the reception beam with respect to the adjacent reception beam. The reception beam pattern information represents the distribution situation of the reception beam index or the direction of the reception beam in the first dimension or the second dimension. That is, the reception scheme information for the reference signal resource can be well and accurately represented by the specific presentation content of the reception scheme information for each given reference signal resource.
[0055] When configuring reference signal resources in all beam transmission directions, the beam management method in one embodiment of the present application includes: transmitting sampling instruction information for the reference signal resource to the receiving device, the sampling instruction information for the reference signal resource instructing the receiving device on sampling parameters of the reference signal resource to be measured; Associating a sampling subset index corresponding to each reference signal resource, designating a reference signal resource having the same resource index as a reference signal resource to be measured, and transmitting index information of the reference signal resource to be measured to a receiving device; transmitting first measurement adjustment information to the receiving device, the first measurement adjustment information instructing the receiving device to switch reference signal resources to be measured; and a step of transmitting second measurement adjustment information to the receiving device, the second measurement adjustment information instructing the receiving device not to switch the reference signal resource to be measured, which may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following steps.
[0056] In addition, when configuring reference signal resources in all beam transmission directions, considering the overhead problem of beam training, the user equipment does not perform scanning measurement on all reference signal resources, so by sending instruction information to the user equipment to scan and measure reference signal resources, the user equipment determines the reference signal resource to be measured according to the instruction information. That is, the sampling instruction information presents the sampling parameters (including but not limited to sampling position, sampling interval, sampling pattern, etc.) of the reference signal resource to be measured, or the information of the sampling subset index where the reference signal resource to be measured is located, or the first measurement adjustment information instructs to switch the reference signal resource to be measured, or the second measurement adjustment information instructs not to switch the reference signal resource to be measured, so that the user equipment can determine the reference signal resource to be measured according to the instruction information, and then measure the reference signal resource. The corresponding sampling subset index associated with each reference signal resource is used to indicate the set of reference signal resources that the user equipment needs to measure, that is, the reference signal resources having the same sampling subset index can constitute a sampling subset of one reference signal resource, and the sampling subset of the reference signal resource is the reference signal resource that the user equipment should measure.
[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, step S130 is further described, and when the beam measurement information includes reception scheme information for the reference signal resource, step S130 may include, but is not limited to, step S131. Step S131 includes: receiving CSI including reception scheme information for a reference signal resource transmitted from a receiving device; receiving CSI including time stamp information of a reference signal resource transmitted from a receiving device, the time stamp information of the reference signal resource corresponding to reception scheme information for the reference signal resource; receiving CSI including index information of a reference signal resource transmitted from a receiving device, the index information of the reference signal resource corresponding to reception scheme information for the reference signal resource; receiving CSI including index information of a resource set in which a reference signal resource is located, the index information of the resource set in which the reference signal resource is located corresponding to reception scheme information for the reference signal resource; receiving CSI including transmission status indication information for a reference signal resource transmitted from a receiving device, the transmission status indication information for the reference signal resource corresponding to reception scheme information for the reference signal resource; receiving CSI including a remaining source signal that is quasi-collocated with the reference signal resource, the remaining source signal being quasi-collocated with the reference signal resource corresponding to reception scheme information for the reference signal resource; receiving CSI including a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource transmitted from a receiving device, the sounding reference signal resource corresponding to reception scheme information for the reference signal resource; receiving CSI including sounding reference signal resource indication (SRI) information transmitted from the receiving device, the sounding reference signal resource indication information corresponding to reception scheme information for the reference signal resource;
[0058] In this step, if the beam measurement information includes reception scheme information for the reference signal resource, the base station can receive the reception scheme information for the reference signal resource transmitted from the user equipment, thereby predicting the optimal beam result based on the reception scheme information for the reference signal resource received in a subsequent step.
[0059] In addition, receiving channel state information conveying reception scheme information for reference signal resources transmitted from a receiving device belongs to explicit feedback, and this feedback allows the reception scheme information for reference signal resources to be transmitted directly to the base station.
[0060] In one possible embodiment, when the beams on the base station side and the user equipment side are not calibrated, the base station may configure a CSI-RS resource set for one beam management and transmit it repeatedly multiple times, and the user equipment polls the receiving beams within the period of different CSI-RS resource sets, in which case the timestamp information of the CSI-RS resource set implicitly refers to the different receiving beams of the UE. Specifically, the system frame number or subframe number or time slot index or OFDM symbol index where the CRI (CSI-RS Resource Index) / SSBRI (SSB Resource Index) is located is defined as RIT, and the user equipment binds the receiving scheme information RMI for the reference signal resource with the RIT respectively to form CRI-RSRP-RIT or SSBRI-RSRP-RIT, and feeds back the corresponding CRI-RSRP-RIT or SSBRI-RSRP-RIT in one CSI report.
[0061] In another possible embodiment, when the beams on the base station side and the user equipment side are not calibrated, the base station may configure multiple CSI-RS resource sets for beam management, and the user equipment polls the receiving beams for different CSI-RS resource sets, in which case the indexes of the CSI-RS resource sets implicitly refer to different receiving beams of the UE. Specifically, the indexes of multiple resource sets for beam management are defined as RSI, and the UE binds the receiving scheme RMI with the RSI respectively, and feeds back the corresponding CRI-RSRP-RSI or SSBRI-RSRP-RSI in one CSI report.
[0062] In another possible embodiment, in the uplink direction, the user equipment uses different beams to transmit SRS resources. The user equipment binds the receiving scheme RMI with an SRS resource indication SRI (SRS Resource Indicator), which indicates that the receiving scheme RMI uses a spatial filter used for the SRS indicated by the SRI. Specifically, to realize the reporting of the receiving scheme RMI, the user equipment feeds back the corresponding CRI-RSRP-SRI or SSBRI-RSRP-SRI in one CSI report.
[0063] In another possible embodiment, in the uplink direction, the user equipment transmits SRS resources using different beams, and the user equipment binds the receiving scheme RMI with the SRS resources transmitted by different beams, and the receiving scheme RMI and the SRS resources represent using the same spatial filter. Specifically, the SRS resource using the same spatial filter as the RMI is defined as SRS0, and in order to realize the reporting of the receiving scheme RMI, the user equipment feeds back the corresponding CRI-RSRP-SRS0 or SSBRI-RSRP-SRS0 in one CSI report.
[0064] In another possible embodiment, the base station may configure a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) as {CSI-RS0|QCL type D}, where CSI-RS0 represents a QCL source signal, and QCL type D indirectly indicates a receiving beam of the UE. Thus, the QCL type D source signal indicating a different receiving beam is defined as CRI0, and the UE binds the receiving scheme RMI with the different CRI0 respectively, and feeds back the corresponding CRI-RSRP-CRI0 or SSBRI-RSRP-CRI0 in one CSI report.
[0065] Step S140: Predict optimal beam results according to beam measurement information.
[0066] In this step, since the beam measurement information transmitted from the user device in step 130 is received, the optimal beam result can be accurately and reliably predicted according to the beam measurement information.
[0067] The method of predicting the optimal beam result may be various and is not particularly limited. For example, prediction is made based on a trained artificial intelligence (AI) model built into the base station, and since reception method information on reference signal resources such as reception beam direction and reception beam index can support the AI beam prediction on the base station side, the robustness and generalizability of the AI model can be improved by making prediction based on this. Also, for example, an operator inputs the received beam measurement information into a trained beam prediction network inside the base station, thereby obtaining the optimal beam result output by the beam prediction network.
[0068] The optimal beam result is At least one optimal beam pair; and at least one beam pair adjacent to the at least one optimal beam pair.
[0069] That is, the optimal beam result may be, but is not limited to, one or more optimal beam pairs, and each optimal beam pair includes one optimal transmitting beam and one optimal receiving beam. Specifically, the optimal beam result may be selected and set according to the actual application scenario, and is not particularly limited.
[0070] Step S150: Transmit optimal receiving method information to the receiving device according to the optimal beam result.
[0071] In addition, the optimum receiving method information corresponds to the optimum beam result.
[0072] In this step, the base station transmits multiple target test beams constituting reference signal resources to the user equipment, and the multiple target test beams are obtained by configuring reference signal resources in at least some of all beam transmission directions, that is, beam scanning configuration is not necessarily performed in all beam transmission directions to obtain the target test beam, which is advantageous to reducing beam training overhead, corresponding measurement power consumption and processing delay; further, the user equipment receives beam measurement information obtained by measuring the reference signal resources, and the beam measurement information helps the base station predict an optimal beam result that is accurate and reliable; and by transmitting optimal receiving method information corresponding to the optimal beam result to the user equipment, the receiving equipment can avoid the scanning process of the optimal beam result, thereby filling the technical gap in related methods.
[0073] As shown in FIG. 4, in an embodiment of the present application, step S150 is further described, and step S150 may include but is not limited to step S151 and step S152.
[0074] Step S151: Configure optimal receiving method information into a first downlink signal according to an optimal beam result.
[0075] Step S152: Transmit optimal receiving method information to the receiving device through the first downlink signal.
[0076] In this step, the optimum receiving method information is configured in the first downlink signal, and the optimum receiving method information is transmitted to the user device via the first downlink signal, that is, the user device can obtain the optimum receiving method information simply by receiving the first downlink signal, and the disadvantage of transmitting the optimum receiving method information alone can be avoided.
[0077] In addition, the specific parameters of the first downlink signal may be set according to a specific application scenario, and are not limited here.
[0078] In an embodiment of the present application, when multiple candidate receiving scheme information corresponds to the optimal beam result, step S152 is further described, and step S152 may include, but is not limited to, step S1521. Step S1521 includes: Depending on the optimal beam result, one of the multiple candidate receiving scheme information is selected as the optimal receiving scheme information by radio resource control signaling. choice and associating the optimum reception scheme information with the first downlink signal; According to the optimal beam result, selecting a plurality of target receiving scheme information from a plurality of candidate receiving scheme information through radio resource control signaling, selecting one of the plurality of target receiving scheme information as optimal receiving scheme information through a control unit (Control Element: CE) signaling of a medium access control (MAC), and configuring the optimal receiving scheme information in a first downlink signal; According to the optimal beam result, configuring a state pool including a plurality of candidate receiving scheme information by radio resource control signaling, obtaining a plurality of target receiving scheme information from the state pool by MAC CE signaling, selecting one of the plurality of target receiving scheme information as optimal receiving scheme information by downlink control information (DCI) signaling, and configuring the optimal receiving scheme information in a first downlink signal; determining optimal receiving scheme information from a plurality of candidate receiving scheme information according to the optimal beam result, and configuring the optimal receiving scheme information in the first downlink signal by explicit signaling.
[0079] In addition, one of the multiple candidate reception method information is selected as the optimal reception method information. choice and explicitly or implicitly associating the optimum reception scheme information with the first downlink signal, thereby choice The obtained optimum reception method information can be configured in the first downlink signal, that is, the user device can obtain the optimum reception method information just by receiving the first downlink signal, thereby avoiding the disadvantage of transmitting the optimum reception method information alone.
[0080] As shown in Fig. 5, Fig. 5 is a flowchart of a beam management method according to another embodiment of the present application, which is applied to a receiving device such as the user device 120 in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1. The beam management method may include, but is not limited to, steps S210 to S240.
[0081] Step S210: Receive transmission method information for a plurality of target test beams and reference signal resources transmitted from a transmitting device.
[0082] The multiple target test beams are obtained by the transmitting device configuring reference signal resources in at least some of all beam transmission directions.
[0083] In addition, the receiving device in this embodiment may be, but is not limited to, the user device 120 in the embodiment shown in Figure 1, and the transmitting device in this embodiment may be, but is not limited to, the base station 110 in the embodiment shown in Figure 1, or a person skilled in the art may appropriately select and set the transmitting device or receiving device according to the actual application scene, and this embodiment does not limit this. In order to more simply explain the application scene and principle of the present application, the following description will be given with the user device as the receiving device and the base station as the transmitting device in each related embodiment, but it should be understood that this does not limit the embodiments of the present application.
[0084] In this step, the base station obtains the multiple target test beams by configuring reference signal resources in at least some of all beam transmission directions, that is, beam scanning configuration is not necessarily performed in all beam transmission directions to obtain the target test beams, which is advantageous to reduce the overhead of beam training on the base station side and the power consumption and processing delay of target test beam measurement in the subsequent steps. The user equipment can not only receive the multiple target test beams, but also receive transmission scheme information on the reference signal resources transmitted from the base station, so as to measure the reference signal resources according to the transmission scheme information on the reference signal resources in the subsequent steps.
[0085] In addition, the beam transmission direction of the transmitting device may be multiple, specifically, determined by a preset operation logic or determined under the control of an operator. After the transmitting device determines all the beam transmission directions, the transmitting device may select and configure at least some of the beam transmission directions, that is, may select some or all of the beam transmission directions, thereby obtaining multiple target test beams.
[0086] In addition, the multiple target test beams may be different from each other to simulate different beam scanning situations, and the specific number of target test beams may be set according to actual application scenarios, and is not limited here.
[0087] The reference signal resource is CSI-RS resources; and an SSB resource.
[0088] That is, the configured reference signal resource may be a CSI-RS resource or / and an SSB resource, and configuring the above resources realizes measurement of the transmitting beam and scanning of the receiving beam.
[0089] In one possible embodiment, the transmission scheme information for the reference signal resource is: transmit beam index information for a plurality of target test beams; Absolute transmit beam direction information for a plurality of target test beams; transmit beam relative direction information for a plurality of target test beams; and transmit beam pattern information for a plurality of target test beams.
[0090] In addition, in the base station, the transmission beam index information for the multiple target test beams represents index information of the transmitted target test beams, and the transmission beam absolute direction information represents the spatial information of the transmitted target test beams. regionThe transmission beam relative direction information may be, but is not limited to, information such as a specific position, coordinates, angle, etc. in the reference signal resource, the transmission beam relative direction information represents an angle difference of the transmission beam with respect to a preset baseline direction or an angle difference of the transmission beam with respect to adjacent transmission beams, and the transmission beam pattern information represents a distribution situation of the index of the transmission beam or the direction of the transmission beam in the first dimension or the second dimension. That is, the transmission scheme information for the reference signal resource can be well and accurately represented by the specific presentation content of the transmission scheme information for each reference signal resource given above.
[0091] In an embodiment of the present application, the step S210 of "receiving transmission scheme information about a reference signal resource transmitted from a transmitting device" is further described, and may include, but is not limited to, a step S211.
[0092] Step S211: Receive transmission scheme information about a reference signal resource transmitted by a second downlink signal from a transmitting device.
[0093] In addition, the second downlink signal includes transmission method information for the reference signal resource.
[0094] In this step, by configuring the transmission scheme information for the reference signal resources in the second downlink signal, the transmission scheme information for the reference signal resources is transmitted to the user equipment via the second downlink signal, that is, the user equipment can obtain the transmission scheme information for the reference signal resources just by receiving the second downlink signal, and the disadvantage of transmitting the transmission scheme information for the reference signal resources alone can be avoided.
[0095] Step S220: According to the transmission scheme information about the reference signal resource, measure the reference signal resource to obtain beam measurement information.
[0096] In this step, since the user equipment obtains transmission method information for multiple target test beams and reference signal resources in step S210, in step S220, the reference signal resource can be measured according to the transmission method information for the reference signal resource to obtain beam measurement information, so that in subsequent steps, an optimal beam result can be predicted according to the transmission method information and beam measurement information, thereby improving the accuracy of prediction of the optimal beam result by the user equipment.
[0097] As shown in FIG. 6, in an embodiment of the present application, step S220 is further described, and step S220 may include but is not limited to steps S221 to S222.
[0098] Step S221: According to the transmission method information for the reference signal resource, one of uniform sampling, non-uniform sampling or random selection is adopted for the reference signal resources configured in multiple target test beams to obtain the reference signal resource to be measured.
[0099] Step S222: Measure the reference signal resource to be measured to obtain beam measurement information.
[0100] In this step, according to the transmission method information for the reference signal resource, any one of uniform sampling, non-uniform sampling or random sampling is adopted, and the reference signal resource to be measured can be accurately determined by any one of the sampling methods, that is, measuring the reference signal resource that does not need to be measured in the subsequent steps can be avoided, so that the reference signal resource to be measured can be measured to obtain the required beam measurement information.
[0101] In one embodiment of the present application, before step S222, the method may further include, but is not limited to, step S250 of maintaining a timer.
[0102] Step S250: When the timer times out, switch the reference signal resource to be measured.
[0103] In this step, the user equipment may maintain a timer by itself. When the timer times out, the user equipment may switch the reference signal resource to be measured, so as to measure the reference signal resource that needs to be measured later. Or, the user equipment may switch the reference signal resource to be measured according to the received explicit or implicit switching instruction information sent from the base station, and this switching instruction information has been described in detail in the embodiment on the base station side, so the contents of the above related embodiment can be referred to, and will not be described in detail here to avoid duplication.
[0104] Step S230: Predict optimal beam results according to beam measurement information.
[0105] In this step, since the reference signal resources are measured in step 220 to obtain the beam measurement information, the optimal beam result can be accurately and reliably predicted according to the beam measurement information.
[0106] In addition, the method of predicting the optimal beam result may be various and is not particularly limited. For example, the prediction is made based on a trained artificial intelligence (AI) model built into the user device, and since transmission method information on reference signal resources such as a transmission beam direction and a transmission beam index can support the AI beam prediction on the user device side, the robustness and generalizability of the AI model can be improved by making the prediction based on this. Also, for example, an operator inputs the measured beam measurement information into a trained beam prediction network inside the user device, thereby obtaining the optimal beam result output by the beam prediction network.
[0107] The optimal beam result is At least one optimal beam pair; and at least one beam pair adjacent to the at least one optimal beam pair.
[0108] That is, the optimal beam result may be, but is not limited to, one or more optimal beam pairs, each optimal beam pair including one optimal transmitting beam and one optimal receiving beam, and specifically, may be selected and set according to the actual application scene, and is not particularly limited.
[0109] Step S240: Transmit optimal parameter information to the transmitting device according to the optimal beam result.
[0110] It should be noted that the optimal parameter information corresponds to the optimal beam result.
[0111] In this step, the user equipment receives multiple target test beams constituting the reference signal resource and transmission scheme information for the reference signal resource, and the multiple target test beams are obtained by configuring the reference signal resource in at least some of the beam transmission directions among all beam transmission directions, that is, beam scanning configuration is not necessarily performed in all beam transmission directions to obtain the target test beam, which is advantageous to reduce the beam training overhead, the corresponding measurement power consumption and processing delay; further, based on the transmission scheme information for the reference signal resource, the user equipment measures the reference signal resource to obtain beam measurement information, and the beam measurement information helps the user equipment predict an optimal beam result that is accurate and reliable; and by sending optimal parameter information corresponding to the optimal beam result to the base station, the base station can avoid the scanning process of the optimal beam result according to the optimal parameter information, thereby filling the technical gap in related methods.
[0112] The optimal parameter information is Index information of a target signal resource corresponding to an optimal beam result; Parameter information of the optimal beam result; and transmission scheme information for the target signal resource.
[0113] If the optimal parameter information includes parameter information of the optimal beam result, the parameter information of the optimal beam result is A reference signal received power; A reference signal reception quality; and A received signal of a reference signal resource; The signal-to-noise ratio, The signal to interference and noise ratio; and channel state information.
[0114] As shown in FIG. 7, in an embodiment of the present application, step S240 is further described, and step S240 may include but is not limited to step S241 and step S242.
[0115] Step S241: Configure optimal parameter information into an uplink signal according to the optimal beam result.
[0116] Step S242: Transmit the optimal parameter information to the transmitting device through an uplink signal.
[0117] In this step, the user equipment configures the optimal parameter information in an uplink signal, and transmits the optimal parameter information to the base station via the uplink signal, that is, the base station can obtain the optimal parameter information simply by receiving the uplink signal, and the disadvantage of transmitting the optimal parameter information alone can be avoided.
[0118] In addition, the specific parameters of the first downlink signal may be set according to a specific application scenario, and are not limited here.
[0119] In one embodiment of the present application, when multiple candidate parameter information corresponds to the optimal beam result, step S242 is further described, and step S242 may include, but is not limited to, step S2421. Step S2421 includes: designating one of the plurality of candidate parameter information as optimal parameter information by radio resource control signaling in response to the optimal beam result, and associating the optimal parameter information with an uplink signal; According to the optimal beam result, selecting a plurality of target parameter information from a plurality of candidate parameter information through radio resource control signaling, selecting one of the plurality of target parameter information as optimal parameter information through MAC CE signaling, and configuring the optimal parameter information into an uplink signal; According to the optimal beam result, configuring a state pool including a plurality of candidate parameter information through radio resource control signaling, obtaining a plurality of target parameter information from the state pool through MAC CE signaling, selecting one of the plurality of target parameter information as optimal parameter information through downlink control signaling, and configuring the optimal parameter information into an uplink signal; The method includes at least one of the steps of: determining optimal parameter information from a plurality of candidate parameter information according to the optimal beam result; and configuring the optimal parameter information in an uplink signal by explicit signaling.
[0120] In addition, one of multiple candidate parameter information can be designated as optimal parameter information, and the optimal parameter information can be explicitly or implicitly associated with the uplink signal, thereby configuring the designated optimal parameter information in the uplink signal. In other words, the base station can obtain the optimal parameter information simply by receiving the uplink signal, and the disadvantage of transmitting the optimal parameter information alone can be avoided.
