Description

Beam direction determination method, device, equipment and medium

[0001] This disclosure claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on February 8, 2024, with application number 202410177764.1 and application name “Beam direction determination method, device, equipment and medium”, all contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a beam direction determination method, apparatus, device, and medium. Background Art

[0003] The fundamental concept of Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) is to introduce wireless sensing capabilities into wireless mobile communications. Wireless sensing involves sensing environmental information through wireless signals. This information includes the distribution, size, quantity, and temperature of objects in the environment, human movements and behavior, and even breathing and heart rates. Wireless sensing works by transmitting a sensing signal to the environment / target object to be sensed. This signal, after being reflected or scattered by the sensed objects in the environment, reaches the receiver. After complex signal processing, the environmental characteristics are detected and the perceived environment is reconstructed on the device. This includes identifying people and objects in the environment, detecting temperature, human movements, and even breathing and heart rates.

[0004] Currently, the reception direction for sensing signals is non-line-of-sight (NLOS), meaning the path after reflection from the sensed object. However, the reception direction for communications is typically line-of-sight (LOS), meaning the visible path from the base station to the terminal. This makes it difficult to establish a quasi-co-located (QCL) relationship between communication and sensing signals. This can be understood as meaning that the same quasi-co-located relationship means the transmission beam direction is the same. Furthermore, the receiving beam direction corresponding to the sensing signal is strongly correlated with the position of the sensed object, but the position of the sensed object is random, resulting in a lack of available reference signals. Therefore, determining the receiving beam direction corresponding to the sensing signal becomes a challenge that needs to be addressed.

[0005] When transmitting sensing signals, the target object is the object being sensed. However, these objects are distributed over a wider area than the communication nodes, making it impossible to use the communication reference signal as a QCL relationship in related technologies. To prevent mutual interference between adjacent sensing nodes, the technical challenge of indicating the corresponding transmission beam direction for the sensing signal remains unsolved.

[0084] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "and / or" describes the association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0085] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, and other quantifiers are similar thereto.

[0086] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0087] In order to facilitate understanding of the solution of the present disclosure, the relevant contents involved in the present disclosure are first introduced.

[0088] Wireless sensing is generally categorized into monostatic and bistatic sensing. In monostatic sensing, a sensing node, such as a base station (or terminal), actively transmits a sensing signal. After the sensing signal is reflected by the object being sensed, the sensing node, such as the base station (or terminal), receives the reflected sensing signal. See Figure 1 for examples of monostatic sensing using (a) a 5G base station (the next generation Node B, gNB) and (b) a user equipment (UE).

[0089] Dual-base sensing refers to a sensing node, such as a base station (or terminal), actively sending a sensing signal. This sensing signal is then received by another sensing node, such as a terminal (or base station), via a wireless channel. See Figure 1 for examples of dual-base sensing: (c) UE-gNB dual-base sensing, (d) gNB-UE dual-base sensing, (e) UE-UE dual-base sensing, and (f) gNB-gNB dual-base sensing.

[0090] For the receiver of the sensing signal, in order to receive the signal reflected by the sensing object, how to indicate the receiving beam direction corresponding to the sensing signal reflected by the sensing object is a technical problem that needs to be solved. As shown in Figure 2, the base station transmits the sensing signal at an angle α. After passing through the sensing object, it is reflected to the receiving UE (which can also be the base station) at a directional angle β. For the receiving UE, if the signal (the signal reflected by the sensing object) is received according to the value of the directional angle β, it will help improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the received signal and enhance sensing performance. Conversely, if the UE's receiving beam angle differs significantly from β, it will not only reduce sensing performance but may even lead to perception errors.

[0091] Regarding the QCL indication method for communication in related technologies, assume that a base station is preparing to send a reference signal (RS)-1 to a terminal. The base station uses QCL parameters to instruct the UE how to receive RS-1. In the QCL parameters, RS-1 is associated with a reference signal RS-0, where RS-0 is the beam direction determined by the terminal through beam scanning, which is relatively stable. The receive beam direction of RS-1 adopts the same direction as RS-0.

[0092] The aforementioned QCL indication method has limitations for sensing signal reception. The reason is that the sensing signal is received along the NLOS path (i.e., the path after reflection from the sensing object). However, the communication signal is received along the LOS path (i.e., the line-of-sight path from the base station to the terminal). This makes it difficult to establish a QCL relationship between the communication and sensing signals. Furthermore, the receiving beam direction corresponding to the sensing signal is strongly correlated with the position of the sensing object, but the position of the sensing object is random, resulting in a lack of a usable reference signal. Therefore, determining the receiving beam direction corresponding to the sensing signal becomes a challenge.

[0093] For the transmitter of the perception signal, in order to avoid mutual interference between adjacent transmitting perception nodes, how to indicate the transmission beam direction corresponding to the perception signal is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Referring to Figure 3, both the UE and the base station adopt the single-base transmission mode. For the single-base mode of the same node, the receiving beam direction is the same as the transmitting direction. In order to improve spectrum utilization, the resources used by different transmitting nodes need to be coordinated (for example, when there is mutual interference, the transmission resources of the two nodes are orthogonal, and when there is no mutual interference, the same resources can be used). The following two scenarios:

[0094] In scenarios 1 and 2 in Figure 3, the sending directions of the two nodes deviate from the receiving direction angle of each other, so there is no interference between them and the same resources can be used.

[0095] In scenarios 3 and 4 in Figure 3, the sending directions of the two nodes are close to the receiving direction angle of the other party, thus causing mutual interference.

[0096] In summary, in certain sensing resource situations, it is necessary to indicate the transmission beam direction. If the direction is indicated randomly, serious interference problems will occur.

[0097] Regarding the QCL indication method for communication in related technologies, assume that a base station is preparing to have a UE transmit a reference signal RS-1. The base station instructs the UE on how to transmit RS-1 using QCL parameters. The QCL parameters associate RS-1 with a reference signal RS-0, where RS-0 represents the beam direction determined by the UE through beam scanning.

[0098] If RS-0 is a downlink reference signal, the UE uses uplink and downlink reciprocity to determine to send the reference signal RS-1 in a beam direction opposite to that of RS-0.

[0099] If RS-0 is an uplink reference signal, the UE transmits the reference signal RS-1 using the same beam direction as RS-0.

[0100] The above QCL indication method has limitations for the transmission of sensing signals. The reason is that the target object is the sensed object, and the distribution range of the sensed object is wider than the distribution range of the communication nodes, which makes it impossible to use the communication reference signal directly as the QCL relationship. For example:

[0101] When the UE sends a communication signal, its target base station has only one direction; when the UE sends a perception signal, there will be multiple directions due to the randomness of the location of the perceived object.

[0102] When the base station sends a sensing signal, for low-altitude aircraft (such as drones), the sensed targets are mainly in the sky, which is completely different from the direction of UEs distributed on the ground.

[0103] Therefore, for the transmission of sensing signals, in order to avoid mutual interference between adjacent sensing nodes, how to indicate the transmission beam direction corresponding to the sensing signal is also a technical problem that needs to be solved.

[0104] In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a beam direction determination method, device, equipment and medium, wherein the method and device are based on the same application concept. Since the principles of solving the problems by the method and device are similar, the implementation of the device and method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0105] Since the embodiments of the present disclosure involve sensing the position of a target, in order to facilitate subsequent understanding of the solutions of the present disclosure, the position of an object in three-dimensional space is first introduced.

[0106] Generally, to express the position of an object in three-dimensional space, three-dimensional coordinates (X, Y, Z) can be used, or polar coordinates can be used, as shown in Figure 4.

[0107] For the x, y, and z coordinates above, x and y are horizontal planes, and z is the vertical axis. Define the azimuth angle A (such as φ in Figure 4). Define the pitch angle Z (such as θ in Figure 4). For ease of understanding, the following definitions can be used:

[0108] When the pitch angle Z is equal to 0 degrees, it points to the vertical plane (towards the sky); when Z is equal to 90 degrees, it points to the horizontal plane; when Z is equal to 180 degrees, it points to the center of the earth.

[0109] When the azimuth angle A is equal to 0 degrees, it points to the north; when it is equal to 90 degrees, it points to the east; when it is equal to 180 degrees, it points to the south.

[0110] It should be noted that the definition of the pitch angle Z is: when the pitch angle Z is equal to 90 degrees, it points to the vertical plane (towards the sky); when Z is equal to 0 degrees, it points to the horizontal plane; when Z is equal to -90 degrees, it points to the center of the earth. Accordingly, the description of the embodiments of this disclosure needs to be modified accordingly, such as converting cosθ to sinθ.

[0111] As shown in FIG5 , it is a flow chart of a beam direction determination method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method is executed by an indicated device. In some embodiments, the indicated device is a base station or a terminal.

[0112] Step 501: receiving indication information sent by an indication device, where the indication information includes first indication information or second indication information, where the first indication information is used to indicate a direction of a transmitting beam or a direction of a receiving beam, and the second indication information is used to determine a position of a sensing target;

[0113] Here, the pointing device, the pointed device, and the perception target may be located in the same perception environment.

[0114] In some embodiments, the indicating device is a perception server (also called a perception signal configuration node), a base station or a terminal.

[0115] Here, the indicated device receives the indication information sent by the indicating device. This may be a base station receiving the indication information sent by the perception server, or a terminal receiving the indication information sent by the perception server, or a terminal receiving the indication information sent by the base station, or a terminal receiving the indication information sent by another terminal, or a base station receiving the indication information sent by another base station.

[0116] It should be understood that the first indication information is an explicit indication (direct indication), indicating the direction information of the transmitting beam or the direction information of the receiving beam, such as indicating the direction information of the transmitting beam corresponding to the perception information to be sent (such as the perception signal or the perception data), or indicating the direction of the reflection beam of the perception information, that is, the direction information of the receiving beam corresponding to the perception information at the receiving end.

[0117] The second indication information is an implicit indication. The location of the sensing target is determined by the second indication information, and then the beam sending direction or beam receiving direction corresponding to the sensing signal is determined according to the location of the sensing target. It should be understood that the location of the sensing target is the location of a preset sensing target. The preset here can be understood as follows: the indicating device (as a detection node) assumes that the sensing target may appear at a certain location, such as dividing the sensing area into a certain number of small areas, and each beam direction can cover a small area. When the indicated device (as a sensing node) performs a scan of all small areas, each small area is the location of the preset sensing target.

[0118] In some embodiments, step 501 includes:

[0119] The indication information sent by the indication device is received through target data, high-layer signaling or a physical layer control channel.

[0120] In some embodiments, the target data is perception assistance data. In some embodiments, the high-layer signaling is implemented by radio resource control (RRC) or media access control element (MAC-CE) or other interface signaling between different devices.

[0121] Step 502: Determine a beam sending direction or a beam receiving direction corresponding to the perception information according to the indication information.

[0122] Here, if the indication information is the first indication information, the direct indication of the first indication information is used to determine the beam sending direction or beam receiving direction corresponding to the perception information; if the indication information is the second indication information, the indirect indication of the second indication information is used to determine the position of the perception target; then, based on the position of the perception target, the beam sending direction or beam receiving direction corresponding to the perception information is determined.

[0123] That is, by implementing the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure, firstly, the indicated device can determine the sending beam direction corresponding to the perception information to be sent based on the above-mentioned indication information, solve the problem of how to indicate the sending beam direction corresponding to the perception signal, and avoid mutual interference between adjacent perception nodes; secondly, the indicated device can determine the receiving beam direction corresponding to the perception information based on the above-mentioned indication information, solve the problem of how to indicate the receiving beam direction corresponding to the perception signal, and improve the transmission efficiency of the perception signal.

[0124] In some embodiments, the first indication information includes a direction angle, and the direction angle includes one of the following:

[0125] The direction angle of the transmission beam corresponding to the sensing information;

[0126] The direction angle of the receiving beam corresponding to the sensing information;

[0127] The offset angle relative to the transmit beam direction indicated by the quasi-co-located QCL parameters;

[0128] The offset angle relative to the transmit beam direction indicated by the QCL parameters.

[0129] The direction angle includes the azimuth angle A and / or the elevation angle Z.

[0130] It should be understood that the first indication information indicates an absolute directional angle, that is, the directional angle of the transmitting beam corresponding to the perception information, see Figure 6; or indicates the directional angle of the receiving beam corresponding to the perception information; or the first indication information indicates a directional angle offset based on the QCL parameters, that is, indicates the offset angle γ relative to the receiving beam direction indicated by QCL, see Figure 7; or indicates the offset angle γ relative to the transmitting beam direction indicated by QCL.

[0131] The first indication information is mainly used to indicate the direction of the transmission beam. The indicated transmission beam direction can be understood as the preset direction of the target presence (instructing the base station or terminal to send a beam for trial detection to detect whether the target exists).

[0132] Case 1: The first indication information includes a direction angle, and the direction angle is the direction angle of a transmitting beam corresponding to the perception information; or the direction angle of a receiving beam corresponding to the perception information.

[0133] In case 2, the first indication information includes a direction angle, and the direction angle is an offset angle γ relative to the transmitting beam direction indicated by the QCL parameter; or the direction angle is an offset angle γ relative to the receiving beam direction indicated by the QCL parameter. The offset angle γ may include an azimuth angle A and / or an elevation angle Z. Here, the QCL parameter includes at least one reference signal RS or a reference signal identifier (RS-ID). In case 2, the transmitting beam direction or the receiving beam direction indicated by the first indication information is a direction corresponding to an angle γ offset from the beam direction corresponding to the reference signal RS.

[0134] It should be understood that the first indication information includes a first parameter (basic parameter value), which is the direction angle of the transmitting beam (or receiving beam) corresponding to the perception information, or the first parameter is the offset angle γ relative to the transmitting beam (or receiving beam) direction indicated by the QCL parameter.

[0135] As can be seen from the above, the direction angle includes the azimuth angle A and / or the elevation angle Z. Accordingly, the first parameter includes: an A angle parameter (e.g., 0-359 degrees, with a default indication resolution of 1 degree) and a Z angle parameter (e.g., 0-180 degrees, with a default indication resolution of 1 degree). In some embodiments, the resolution of the indication value is 1 degree by default, or according to protocol agreement or configuration.

[0136] The indication ranges of the above-mentioned A angle and Z angle can use the above-mentioned default ranges, or can be set according to protocol agreement or configuration (such as setting maximum and minimum values ​​according to scene configuration). If the sensing target is above the sensing node (the indicated device), the Z angle range can be -90 degrees to 90 degrees (such as adding a configuration offset (offset) = -90). If the sensing target is close to the ground, the Z angle range can be 90 degrees to 180 degrees (such as adding a configuration offset (offset) = 90).

[0137] For example, if the Z angle is configured as Z=80 and the offset is configured as -50, the actual indication is Z=80-50=30 degrees.

[0138] In some embodiments, the first indication information further includes one or more of the following:

[0139] The offset of the direction angle;

[0140] The first range indication of the directional angle is used to indicate that the range of values ​​of the directional angle has increased; here, this parameter indicates that the direction of the transmit beam (or receive beam) corresponding to the perception information can be further relaxed. In some embodiments, the first range indication of the directional angle includes a first range indication of an A angle and / or a first range indication of a Z angle.

[0141] The second range indication of the directional angle is used to indicate that the value range of the directional angle is reduced; here, this parameter indicates that the direction of the transmit beam (or receive beam) corresponding to the perception information can be further tightened. In some embodiments, the second range indication precision (refine) of the directional angle includes the second range indication of the A angle and / or the second range indication of the Z angle.

[0142] That is, the first indication information includes not only the first parameter but also the second parameter and / or the third parameter.

[0143] The second parameter includes a first range indication range of the angle A (ie, a larger range value range of the angle A) or a second range indication refine of the angle A (ie, a fine value refine of the angle A).

[0144] The third parameter includes a first range indication range of the Z angle (ie, a larger range value range of the Z angle) or a second range indication refine of the Z angle (ie, a fine value refine of the Z angle).

[0145] It should be noted that the first range indication or the second range indication can be configured separately for the A angle, or this parameter can be left unset, without any limitation here. The first range indication or the second range indication can be configured separately for the Z angle, or this parameter can be left unset, without any limitation here.

[0146] Here, the second parameter further expands the indication resolution of the A angle parameter in the first parameter, that is, increases or decreases the value range of the A angle.

[0147] The third parameter further expands the indication resolution of the Z angle parameter in the first parameter, that is, increases or decreases the value range of the Z angle.

[0148] Here, range means that the indicated resolution becomes larger, or the indicated range becomes larger (for example, from 1 degree to 4 degrees); refine means that the indicated resolution becomes smaller, or the indicated range becomes smaller (for example, from 1 degree to 0.2 degrees).

[0149] For the relationship between the first and second parameters, see Figure 8. Taking azimuth as an example, assume the first parameter, angle A, is expressed in degrees. For example, 3 indicates an azimuth of 3 degrees, meaning the azimuth angle A of the receive or transmit beam can be between 3.0 and 4.0 degrees.

[0150] If the second parameter indicates the first range of angle A (i.e., the larger range of values ​​for angle A), it indicates that the angle A in the direction of the transmitting beam (or receiving beam) can be further relaxed. For example, if the second parameter indicates 2, it indicates that the value range of angle A in the direction of the transmitting beam (or receiving beam) can be from 3.0 degrees to 5.0 degrees.

[0151] If the second parameter indicates refinement of the second range of the A angle (i.e., refinement of the A angle value), it means that the A angle in the direction of the transmitting beam (or receiving beam) can be further tightened. For example, if the second parameter indicates 2 (each unit represents 0.2 degrees), it means that the value range of the A angle in the direction of the transmitting beam (or receiving beam) is: 3.4 degrees to 3.6 degrees.

[0152] It should be noted that when the second parameter is the first range indication range of angle A (i.e., the larger range value range of angle A), it is generally used to send beam instructions. For example, the perception server indicates to the base station so that the base station has the flexibility to determine the direction of the transmitted beam for coarse search. When the second parameter is the second range indication refine of angle A (i.e., the refine value of angle A), it is used to finely determine the perception target. For example, after the base station (the indicated device) perceives the position of the target through preliminary detection, it refines the perception position or speed.

[0153] The following uses the Z angle configuration as an example to illustrate how to configure the direction angle.

[0154] Z angle configuration parameters

[0155] {

[0156] Z angle value (e.g. 80) / / Note: The default angle is 1-180, with an indication accuracy of 1 degree;

[0157] Z angle offset (e.g., -90) / / Note: In some embodiments, this parameter is a configuration parameter that indicates an offset from the 1-180 range, which is changed here to -90 to +90.

[0158] The first indication range of the Z angle range (e.g., 2) / / Note: In some embodiments, the configuration parameter has a value range of 0 to 3. 0 represents 2 degrees, 1 represents 3 degrees, 2 represents 4 degrees, and 3 represents 5 degrees;

[0159] The second indication range of the Z angle is refined (e.g., 2). / / Note: In some embodiments, the configuration parameter has a value range of 0 to 3. 0 represents 0.2 degrees, 1 represents 0.4 degrees, 2 represents 0.6 degrees, and 3 represents 0.8 degrees.

[0160] Note: You can configure at most one of the range and refine options above.

[0161] }

[0162] Assuming the Z angle offset is configured above: the calculated Z angle is 80-90=-10 degrees.

[0163] When the above range is configured (to 2), it means that the Z angle value can be between -8 and -10.

[0164] When the refine setting is set to 2, the Z angle can be between -10.4 and -10.6.

[0165] It should be noted that the above offsets can be specified by the protocol to reduce protocol indication overhead, such as: the protocol configuration {offset-90, offset-45, offset0, offset45, offset90}, indicating one of them according to the service or scenario.

[0166] When indicating range or refine, you can use a bit to indicate which one to use.

[0167] The contents indicated by range and refine above, as well as the beam angle range, can be implemented through configuration or the default protocol values.

[0168] The A angle can be set as the first range indicator or the second range indicator alone, or not set, and there is no limitation here. The Z angle can be set as the first range indicator or the second range indicator alone, or not set, and there is no limitation here.

[0169] Regarding the above situation 2, that is, the first indication information includes a direction angle, where the direction angle is an offset angle γ relative to the transmit beam direction indicated by the QCL parameter; or the direction angle is an offset angle γ relative to the receive beam direction indicated by the QCL parameter. For a more intuitive understanding, determining the transmit beam direction or receive beam direction based on the indication information in situation 2 can be seen in Figures 9 and 10.

[0170] As shown in Figure 9, the reference signal RS-1 between the gNB and the UE is a reference signal used for communication. The UE determines the receiving beam direction corresponding to the perception information based on the receiving beam direction and offset angle γ of the reference signal RS-1 in the first indication information.

[0171] As shown in Figure 10, the UE determines the transmit beam direction corresponding to the perception information based on the transmit beam direction of the reference signal RS-a in the first indication information and the offset angle γ. Here, RS-a is a reference signal sent by the UE, and its beam direction is known, which is obtained from the QCL parameters.

[0172] In some embodiments, the second indication information includes a location parameter of the sensing target. The location parameter of the sensing target described in this embodiment is used to indicate the transmit beam direction or receive beam direction of the sensing information (a sensing signal or sensing data). The location parameter of the sensing target is associated with the sensing information in the configuration.

[0173] In some embodiments, the position parameter of the perception target is the three-dimensional coordinates (ie, X, Y, Z) of the position of the perception target.

[0174] It should be understood that the second indication information includes a first parameter (basic parameter value), which includes the X coordinate of the perceived target (e.g., 0-2000 meters), the first Y coordinate (e.g., 0-2000 meters), and the first Z coordinate (e.g., 0-100 meters). Assume that the default indication resolution is 1 meter.

[0175] The indicated orientations of the coordinates X, Y, and Z can use a default range or can be determined based on protocol agreement or configuration (e.g., based on scenario configuration, based on the capabilities of the sending node (indicating device), or based on the reference position of the origin coordinates). For example, for a base station as a sensing node (indicated device), if it senses a preset target in the sky, the X coordinate range is 0-2000 meters; if the sensing node is a terminal, the X coordinate range is 0-300 meters. In some embodiments, the resolution of the indicated value is 1 meter by default, or based on protocol agreement or configuration.

[0176] In some embodiments, the second indication information further includes one or more of the following:

[0177] The offset of the position parameter;

[0178] The third range indication of the position parameter is used to indicate that the value range of the position parameter is increased; in some embodiments, the third range indication range of the position parameter of the perception target includes a third indication range of the X coordinate, a third indication range of the Y coordinate and / or a third indication range of the Z coordinate.

[0179] The fourth range indication of the position parameter is used to indicate that the value range of the position parameter is reduced; in some embodiments, the fourth range indication range of the position parameter of the perception target includes a fourth indication range of the X coordinate, a fourth indication range of the Y coordinate and / or a fourth indication range of the Z coordinate.

[0180] That is, the second indication information includes not only the first parameter but also the second parameter, the third parameter and / or the fourth parameter.

[0181] The second parameter includes a third indication range of the X coordinate (ie, a larger range of values ​​of the X coordinate), or a fourth indication range of the X coordinate (ie, a finer value of the X coordinate).

[0182] The third parameter includes a third indication range of the Y coordinate (range) (ie, a larger range of values ​​of the Y coordinate), or a fourth indication range of the Y coordinate (refine) (ie, a finer value of the Y coordinate).

[0183] The fourth parameter includes a third indication range of the Z coordinate (range) (ie, a larger range of values ​​of the Z coordinate) or a fourth indication range of the Z coordinate (refine) (ie, a finer value of the Z coordinate).

[0184] It should be noted that the coordinates X, Y, and Z can be individually configured with the third range indication or the fourth range indication (ie, configured as a large range value range or a fine value refine) or not configured with this parameter, which is not limited here.

[0185] Here, the second parameter further expands the indication resolution of the X coordinate, that is, increases or decreases the value range of the X coordinate.

[0186] The third parameter further expands the indication resolution of the Y coordinate, that is, increases or decreases the value range of the Y coordinate.

[0187] The fourth parameter further expands the indication resolution of the Z coordinate, that is, increases or decreases the value range of the Z coordinate.

[0188] Here, range means that the indicated resolution becomes larger, or the indicated range becomes larger; refine means that the indicated resolution becomes smaller, or the indicated range becomes smaller.

[0189] Regarding the relationship between the first parameter and the second / third / fourth parameters, see Figure 11, taking the second / third as an example. Taking the X and Y coordinates as an example, assuming the first parameter X = 10 meters, Y = 10 meters, representing the position of the perceived target, with the unit scale being meters, the perceived target's position coordinates P(X, Y) can range from P(10.0 meters, 10.0 meters) to P(11.0 meters, 11.0 meters).

[0190] If the third range indication (increased range) is used, for example, the second parameter indicates X=1, Y=1, and the position coordinates P(X, Y) of the sensed target can range from P(10.0 m, 10.0 m) to P(12.0 m, 12.0 m).

[0191] If the fourth range indication (fine indication) is used: for example, the second parameter indicates X=2, Y=2 (each unit represents 0.25 meters), the position coordinates P(X, Y) of the sensed target can range from P(10.5 meters, 10.5 meters) to P(10.75 meters, 10.75 meters).

[0192] The following takes the configuration of coordinate X as an example to illustrate the method of configuring coordinates.

[0193] Coordinate X configuration parameters

[0194] {

[0195] X coordinate value (e.g. 200) / / Note: The default value is 0-2000, with an indication accuracy of 1 meter;

[0196] X coordinate offset (e.g., 100) / / Note: In some embodiments, this parameter is a configuration parameter that indicates an offset from the 0-2000 range, which is changed here to 100 to 2100 meters.

[0197] The third range indication range of the X coordinate (e.g., 2); / / Note: In some embodiments, the configuration parameter has a value range of 0 to 3. 0 represents 2 meters, 1 represents 4 meters, 2 represents 8 meters, and 3 represents 16 meters; (or described by the formula: 2 (range+1) rice)

[0198] The fourth range indicator of the X coordinate is refined (e.g., 2); / / Note: In some embodiments, the configuration parameter has a value range of 0 to 3. 0 represents 0.5 meters, 1 represents 0.25 meters, 2 represents 0.125 meters, and 3 represents 0.0625 meters; (or described by the formula: 2-(range+1));

[0199] Note: You can configure at most one of the range and refine options above.

[0200] }

[0201] Assuming the coordinate X is configured above: the value of the calculated coordinate X is: 200+100=300 meters.

[0202] When the range is configured as 2, the X value can be between 300 and 308 meters.

[0203] When the refine parameter is set to 2, the X value can be between 300 and (300 + 0.125) meters.

[0204] It should be noted that the above offset can be specified by the protocol to reduce protocol indication overhead, such as selecting one from the protocol configuration {offset-400, offset-200, offset0, offset200, offset400}.

[0205] When indicating range or refine, you can use a bit to indicate which one to use.

[0206] The contents indicated by range and refine above can be implemented through configuration or default protocol values.

[0207] In this embodiment, the second indication information includes a location parameter of the sensing target. Accordingly, in step 502, determining the transmitting beam direction or the receiving beam direction corresponding to the sensing information according to the indication information includes:

[0208] According to the position parameters of the sensing target and the position parameters of the indicated device, the transmitting beam direction or the receiving beam direction corresponding to the sensing information is determined.

[0209] The scenario corresponding to step 502 can be seen in Figure 12. Here, the position parameters of the indicated device are known.

[0210] Assuming the position coordinates of the pointed device are (X0, Y0, Z0) and the position coordinates of the sensing target are P(X, Y, Z), to distinguish them, we define the azimuth angle A (φ) and the pitch angle Z (θ). The calculation process is as follows:

[0211] dx=X-X0; dy=Y-Y0; dz=Z-Z0

[0212] φ=tan -1 (dy / dx)

[0213] In some embodiments, the second indication information includes location parameters of the reference node, a direction angle and a propagation delay of a reference beam.

[0214] It should be understood that the second indication information is used to indicate the location coordinates of a possible sensed target. For example, referring to Figure 13, gNB-1 (gNB-1 location coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1)) serves as the reference node and transmits a beam at a reference beam direction angle α, with a propagation delay (echo delay) of τ.

[0215] The propagation delay τ refers to the transmission time from the reference node to the location of the sensing target at the speed of light (the speed of electromagnetic waves). The propagation delay τ can be expressed in nanoseconds, microseconds, milliseconds, seconds, or OFDM symbols; other distance parameters can also be used instead of the propagation delay. The propagation delay τ can be obtained through single-base sensing by a sensing node (such as gNB-1 in Figure 13) or calculated using the location parameters of the sensing target.

[0216] In this embodiment, in some embodiments, the second indication information further includes one or more of the following:

[0217] The offset of the direction angle;

[0218] a first range indication of the direction angle, wherein the first range indication is used to indicate that a value range of the direction angle increases;

[0219] The second range indication of the direction angle is used to indicate that the value range of the direction angle is reduced.

[0220] Here, the directional angle refers to the directional angle of the reference beam. The description and explanation of the directional angle are detailed in the embodiment section related to the first indication information above. No further details will be given here.

[0221] In some embodiments, the second indication information further includes one or more of the following:

[0222] The offset of the position parameter;

[0225] Here, the location parameter is the location parameter of the reference node, and the description and explanation of the location parameter are detailed in the embodiment section involving the second indication information including the location parameter of the sensing target, which will not be repeated here.

[0226] Based on this, in some embodiments, in step 502, determining the transmitting beam direction or receiving beam direction corresponding to the sensing information according to the indication information includes:

[0227] a1, determining the location parameters of the sensing target according to the second indication information;

[0228] In some embodiments, the step a1 of determining the location parameter of the sensing target according to the second indication information includes:

[0229] a11, determining a positional relationship between the reference node and the sensing target according to the direction angle of the reference beam and the propagation delay;

[0230] See Figure 13, the position coordinates of the reference node are (X1, Y1, Z1), the direction angle of the reference beam is α, and the propagation delay is τ.

[0231] The displacement r1 between the reference node and the target is calculated based on the propagation delay τ and the electromagnetic wave velocity c. The positional relationship between the reference node and the target is determined based on the displacement r1 and the reference beam's directional angle α. The positional relationship between the reference node and the target refers to the target's direction and distance relative to the reference node.

[0232] It should be noted that the direction of the perceived target relative to the reference node is expressed as the direction angle α of the perceived target relative to the reference node, and the direction angle α of the perceived target relative to the reference node includes the azimuth angle A (φ1) and the zenith angle Z (θ1); the distance of the perceived target relative to the reference node includes: based on the three-dimensional coordinates, the distance r1*sin(θ1)cos(φ1) of the perceived target relative to the reference node in the X-axis direction, the distance r1*sin(θ1)sin(φ1) of the perceived target relative to the reference node in the Y-axis direction, and the distance r1*cos(θ1) of the perceived target relative to the reference node in the Z-axis direction.

[0233] a12. Determine the position parameters of the perception target according to the position parameters of the reference node and the positional relationship between the reference node and the perception target.

[0234] Here, the position coordinates (X, Y, Z) of the perceived target can be calculated using the following formula:

[0235] X=X1+r1*sin(θ1)cos(φ1)

[0236] Y=Y1+r1*sin(θ1)sin(φ1)

[0237] Z=Z1+r1*cos(θ1)

[0238] a2. Determine a transmitting beam direction or a receiving beam direction corresponding to the sensing information according to the position parameters of the sensing target and the position parameters of the indicated device.

[0239] Here, the location parameters of the indicated device are known. See Figure 13. The indicated device is gNB-2, and the location coordinates of the indicated device gNB-2 are (X2, Y2, Z2).

[0240] Here, the transmit beam direction or receive beam direction corresponding to the sensing information can be calculated using the following formula:

[0241] dx=X-X2; dy=Y-Y2; dz=Z-Z2

[0242] φ2=tan -1 (dy / dx)

[0243] Here, the transmission beam direction or the reception beam direction corresponding to the sensing signal includes the azimuth angle A (φ2) and the elevation angle Z (θ2).

[0244] The beam direction determination method of the embodiment of the present disclosure receives indication information sent by an indication device, and the indication information includes first indication information or second indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate the direction of the transmitting beam or the direction of the receiving beam, and the second indication information is used to determine the position of the perception target; finally, according to the indication information, the transmitting beam direction or the receiving beam direction corresponding to the perception information is determined; firstly, the indicated device can determine the transmitting beam direction corresponding to the perception information to be sent based on the above indication information, solve the problem of how to indicate the transmitting beam direction corresponding to the perception signal, and avoid mutual interference between adjacent perception nodes; secondly, the indicated device can determine the receiving beam direction corresponding to the perception information based on the above indication information, solve the problem of how to indicate the receiving beam direction corresponding to the perception signal, and improve the transmission efficiency of the perception signal.
