The smart signal amplifier can accept control from the base station, that is, the base station can control the transmission parameters of the amplifier, such as the switch and transmission beam of the smart signal amplifier, to improve the signal power of the amplifier and reduce interference. The network structure shown in FIG. 1 includes three network nodes, and the intermediate network node is a smart signal amplifier, which includes a mobile termination module (MT) and a radio frequency module. Here, the MT is used to establish a connection with the base station, and the base station can communicate with the smart signal amplifier through the MT to configure the transmission parameters of the smart signal amplifier.

[0019] The following clearly describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application are all within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0020] The terms "first," "second," etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are intended to distinguish between similar objects and are not intended to describe a particular order or sequence.

The terms "system" and "network" in the embodiments of the present application are always used interchangeably, and the techniques described may be used in the above-mentioned systems and radio technologies, or in other systems and radio technologies. Although the following description describes a New Radio (NR) system for illustrative purposes and uses NR terminology in most of the description below, these techniques may be applied to applications other than NR system applications, such as 6th Generation (6G) communication systems.

[0022] 1 shows a block diagram of a wireless communication system to which the embodiments of the present application can be applied. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11, a smart signal amplifier 12, and a network side device 13.

[0023] Here, the smart signal amplifier is used to extend the coverage range of a cell, and its functions mainly include receiving and amplifying a downlink signal from a network side device to increase the strength of the signal arriving at the terminal, and amplifying an uplink signal from the terminal to increase the strength of the uplink signal from the terminal to the network side device. The smart signal amplifier can accept control from the network side device, that is, the network side device can control the transmission parameters of the smart signal amplifier, such as the switch and transmission beam of the smart signal amplifier, to improve the signal power of the smart signal amplifier and reduce interference.

[0024] Illustratively, the signals / channels that the smart signal amplifier needs to amplify are: Cell discovery signals, the Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), the Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), and the Master Information Block (MIB), A physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) for transmitting user information; PDCCH and PDSCH for system message broadcast; A Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH); It may include a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) and a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) for transmitting uplink user information.

[0025] Exemplarily, the smart signal amplifier includes one mobile termination module (MT) and one radio frequency module (RU) (also called radio frequency unit), where the MT is used to establish a connection with a network side device, and the network side device can communicate with the smart signal amplifier through the MT to configure the transmission parameters of the smart signal amplifier. Generally, the smart signal amplifier continues to operate after power-on, amplifying or forwarding the uplink and downlink signals of all carriers, and does not consider whether the signals that need to be forwarded are placed on the carriers, so that when the network is low-loaded, the signal forwarding of all carriers in all time periods still results in a relatively large power consumption, and the power consumption loss of the network increases.

[0026] For example, the terminal 11 may be referred to as a terminal device or a user terminal (User Equipment, UE), and the terminal 11 may be a terminal device such as a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, a laptop computer (or referred to as a notebook computer), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a palmtop computer, a netbook, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a mobile Internet device (MID), a wearable device, a vehicle-mounted equipment (VUE), a pedestrian terminal (PUE), etc., and the wearable device includes a smart watch, a bracelet, an earphone, glasses, etc.

[0028] The following describes in detail the working mode configuration method of the smart signal amplifier according to the embodiments of the present application through several embodiments and its application scenarios in conjunction with the drawings.

[0029] FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of an operation mode configuration method of a smart signal amplifier according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the operation mode configuration method according to an embodiment of the present application may include the following steps 201 to 203.

[0030] Step 201: The network side equipment sends working mode configuration information to the smart signal amplifier.

[0031] Step 202: The smart signal amplifier receives operating mode configuration information from the network side equipment.

[0032] Step 203: The smart signal amplifier sets a target operation mode based on the operation mode configuration information.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present application, the operational mode configuration information is used to configure N operational modes for a smart signal amplifier, where the N operational modes include at least one of a frequency domain operational mode and a time domain operational mode, and the target operational mode is at least one of the N operational modes.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, one frequency domain operating mode corresponds to one set of frequency domain operating subband configuration parameters, and one time domain operating mode corresponds to one set of operating window configuration parameters.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present application, the operating mode configuration information is used to configure an operating mode of at least a smart signal amplifier and a radio frequency unit for signal transfer.

[0036] Illustratively, for the frequency domain working mode in the embodiment of the present application, the network side equipment can configure one or a variety of different working bandwidth working modes (e.g., the working mode schematic diagrams corresponding to Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3 and Mode 4 shown in FIG. 3) for the smart signal amplifier. In general, when the system load is low, the working mode with the narrow working bandwidth is activated, and vice versa, the working mode with the large working bandwidth is activated. In FIG. 3, Mode 1 is used when the load is the lowest, Mode 2 is used when the load is medium, and Mode 3 is used when the load is heavy.

[0037] Mode 1, Mode 2, and Mode 3 in Fig. 3 show that when the smart signal amplifier operates at the corresponding carrier bandwidth, the network side device can reduce power consumption while meeting the demand for transmitting signals by configuring three different operating sub-bands (i.e., operation bandwidths) for the smart signal amplifier based on the system load. Accordingly, as can be seen in conjunction with Mode 4 in Fig. 3, Mode 4 configures two different operating sub-bands, and Mode 4 may be used when the bandwidth parts (BWPs) of different serving UEs are configured in different frequency ranges.

[0038] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, each operating mode corresponds to one transfer power configuration parameter.

[0039] Optionally, in embodiments of the present application, the time domain mode of operation and the frequency domain mode of operation may be configured and activated simultaneously.

[0040] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the operation mode configuration information is activated or deactivated by the network side device through system information, RRC signaling, MAC signaling or PHY signaling, where the PHY signaling is in a PDCCH order, and the PDCCH order is used to define a target Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) for activating or deactivating the operation mode configuration information.

[0041] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the operation mode includes a frequency domain operation mode, the operation mode configuration information includes at least one of a start point and an end point of an operation subband corresponding to the frequency domain operation mode, a power spectral density of the operation subband, and a transmission power or a signal amplification factor.

[0042] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the operation mode includes a time domain operation mode, the operation mode configuration information is: a start and end point of an operating window corresponding to a time domain operating mode; The length of the operating window; and a period of an operating window; Here, the start of the operating window is configured relative to a time offset parameter.

[0043] Illustratively, the network side equipment can directly configure an operating window, including the start, length / end and transmit power density, of the smart signal amplifier as needed. The start may be explicitly configured with a parameter or may be defined to start when a configuration command is received. After the operating window ends, it will restore to the non-operating state.

[0044] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the time domain operation mode is a first time domain mode of operation; A continuous operating mode; A discontinuous mode of operation; a combined time domain mode of operation; wherein the first time domain operating mode is In the downlink (DL), only amplification or transmission of a synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel signal block (or synchronization signal block) (Synchronization Signal and PBCH block, SSB) or a CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) transmission time period for discovery signals is supported; In the uplink (UL), only amplification or forwarding of the PRACH transmission window is supported; The composite time domain operation mode is a time domain operation mode combined by a plurality of time domain operation modes configured by the network side equipment for the smart signal amplifier; Each time domain operating mode includes at least one operating window.

[0045] Further optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, when the first time domain operation mode is a time domain minimum operation mode, the time domain minimum operation mode may include one or more periodic operation windows. It should be noted that the purpose of this first time domain operation mode is to at least provide cell discovery signal coverage and random access signal coverage during low network load.

[0046] Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the operating window corresponding to the first time domain operating mode (e.g., the time domain lowest operating mode) may be: a window for transmitting target information determined by the smart signal amplifier based on the detected target information; and a cell PRACH resource window detected by a smart signal amplifier; Here, the target information includes at least one of an SSB, a CSI-RS, a PRACH signal, and cell broadcast information.

[0047] Illustratively, the determining manner of the operation window corresponding to the first time domain operation mode includes at least two of the following:

[0048] Method 1: The smart signal amplifier can autonomously determine the operating window of the time domain minimum operating mode; By way of example, the smart signal amplifier may determine a window for transmitting an SSB signal based on the SSB detected by it, and may also determine a window for transmitting a PRACH signal based on the received PRACH configuration.

[0049] Method 2: The smart signal amplifier can receive a transmission window configuration from the network side equipment, including sending / transmitting the configuration of the CSI-RS that acts as a discovery signal.

[0050] Illustratively, the first time domain operation mode scenario only supports amplification or forwarding of CSI-RS transmission time slots for SSB or discovery signals in the downlink. Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of multiple operation windows for downlink forwarding, including three DL operation windows for SSB signal forwarding and an SSB cycle.

[0051] Exemplarily, the first time domain operation mode scenario only supports amplifying or forwarding the PRACH transmission window in the uplink. Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of multiple operation windows for uplink transmission, where if there is at least one PRACH, it includes two UL operation windows for forwarding the PRACH signal and a PRACH window cycle.

[0052] Further optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, for a non-continuous operation mode, generally, the smart signal amplifier may be configured into one or more time domain operation modes, and each operation mode may configure a serial number. The configuration information corresponding to the non-continuous operation mode configuration may include an operation window start point, an end point and a length, and an operation period of the operation window, and an offset parameter of a time point corresponding to the start point of the corresponding operation window may be offset.

[0053] For example, refer to the schematic diagram of the discontinuous operation mode shown in Figure 5. Here, the horizontal axis of Figure 5 is time, and the horizontal axis time includes three operation windows. At the same time, Figure 5 further shows the RU discontinuous operation cycle, and the start point, end point and length of each operation window, and the offset parameter of the time corresponding to the start point of this operation mode is offset.

[0054] Further optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, for the composite time domain working mode, the composite time domain working mode may be a time domain working mode combined by a plurality of time domain working modes configured by the network side equipment for the smart signal amplifier, for example, one smart signal amplifier keeps the time domain lowest working mode activated and simultaneously activates the working mode shown in FIG.

[0055] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the time domain working mode and the frequency domain working mode may be configured and activated simultaneously, and the smart signal amplifier is in a combined time domain and frequency domain working mode.

[0056] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, if the operation mode includes a time domain operation mode, the method according to the embodiment of the present application further includes step 204 .

[0057] Step 204, the smart signal amplifier adjusts parameters of the operating window corresponding to the target time domain operating mode.

[0058] In one example, a smart signal amplifier can autonomously adjust a time domain operating mode, e.g., autonomously adjust an operating window length for a certain time domain operating mode, e.g., extend the operating window based on transport parameters configured by the network side equipment.

[0059] In this way, the smart signal amplifier can flexibly adjust the time domain working mode based on the system load to facilitate efficient utilization of the system power.

[0060] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above step 203 may include the following step 203a.

[0061] Step 203a: The smart signal amplifier activates, deactivates, or switches to a target operating mode based on the operating mode configuration information.

[0062] For example, when setting a target operating mode, the smart signal amplifier may set the target operating mode based on an instruction sent by the network side equipment, or may autonomously self-adaptively adjust the operating mode, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0063] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 6, the above step 203 may include the following steps 203b1 to 203b3.

[0064] Step 203b1: The network side equipment sends a target command to the smart signal amplifier.

[0065] Step 203b2: The smart signal amplifier receives a target command from the network side equipment.

[0066] Here, the target command is used to instruct the smart signal amplifier to perform a target operation.

[0067] Step 203b3: The smart signal amplifier performs the target operation based on the target command and the operating mode configuration information.

[0068] Here, the target operation includes activating, deactivating or switching to a target operation mode.

[0069] Exemplarily, the switching of the working mode may be performed based on an explicit command from the network side equipment. The network side equipment (e.g., a base station) sends an working mode switching command to the RU through the MT, the switching command carries a target working mode, and the RU switches to the target working mode after receiving the switching command. The MT issues a response message to the network side equipment after receiving the working switching mode, indicating that it has received the switching command.

[0070] In one example, the smart signal amplifier can receive a time domain operation mode switch command from the network side equipment to switch from a continuous operation mode to another non-continuous operation mode.

[0071] In another example, the smart signal amplifier may receive a time domain operation mode activation or deactivation command from the network side equipment to activate one or various time domain operation modes or to deactivate one or more time domain operation modes.

[0072] Optionally, in embodiments of the present application, the smart signal amplifier may autonomously adjust the operating mode.

[0073] Exemplarily, the above step 203 may include the following step 203c1.

[0074] Step 203c1: The smart signal amplifier switches to a target working mode based on the bandwidth scheduled by the network side equipment and the working mode configuration information.

[0075] Exemplarily, when the bandwidth scheduled by the network side equipment exceeds the current operating bandwidth of the smart signal amplifier, or the absolute value of the difference between the bandwidth scheduled by the network side equipment and the current operating bandwidth of the smart signal amplifier is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, the smart signal amplifier switches to a target operating mode that matches the scheduled bandwidth based on the bandwidth scheduled by the network side equipment and the operating mode configuration information.

[0076] Exemplarily, the bandwidth scheduled by the network side device is: an operating bandwidth indicated by a network side device; A subband bandwidth indication carried by the network side device when configuring beamforming parameters of any one of the operating subbands of the smart signal amplifier; and a subband bandwidth indication carried by the network side equipment when configuring the transmit power spectral density parameter of any one of the operating subbands of the smart signal amplifier.

[0077] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the method for configuring an operational mode of a smart signal amplifier according to an embodiment of the present application further includes step 205.

[0078] Step 205: the network side device activates or deactivates the working mode configuration information through system information, RRC signaling, MAC signaling or PHY signaling.

[0079] Here, the PHY signaling is in PDCCH order, which is used to define a target RNTI for activating or deactivating the operation mode configuration information.

[0080] Exemplarily, the working mode configuration information may be sent by the network side equipment to the smart signal amplifier through RRC signaling, and then activated / deactivated by the network side equipment through MAC / PHY signaling.

[0081] In the working mode configuration method of the smart signal amplifier according to the embodiment of the present application, the smart signal amplifier receives working mode configuration information from a network side device, and sets a target working mode according to the working mode configuration information, where the working mode configuration information is used to configure N working modes for the smart signal amplifier, the N working modes including at least one of a frequency domain working mode and a time domain working mode, and the target working mode is at least one of the N working modes, whereby the network side device configures different working mode information for the smart signal amplifier according to different network loads, or the smart signal amplifier can self-adaptively switch the working mode, thus avoiding power consumption and power consumption loss, and further reducing the interference of the smart signal amplifier.

[0082] It should be noted that for the smart signal amplifier working mode configuration method according to the embodiment of the present application, the execution body can be a smart signal amplifier working mode configuration device, or a control module for executing the smart signal amplifier working mode configuration method in the smart signal amplifier working mode configuration device. In the embodiment of the present application, the smart signal amplifier working mode configuration device according to the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the execution of the smart signal amplifier working mode configuration method by the smart signal amplifier working mode configuration device as an example.
