Description
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to the field of mobile communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for beam management of an intermediate node.
Background
The intermediate nodes (Intelligent Reflecting Surface, IRS) are based on controlling the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the communication channel to improve the performance of the communication system. For example, a smart supersurface (Intelligent Reflecting Surface, IRS) is a metasurface composed of a large number of tiny elements that diffusely reflect an incident signal in a controlled manner. IRS builds on the classical concept of reconfigurable reflectarrays, increasing the need for real-time reconfigurability and control.
The 5g r15 standardizes the non-contention access based beam failure recovery procedure for PCell and Pscell, and when a beam failure is detected, the terminal selects a new beam meeting the threshold requirement and initiates non-contention random access on the random access channel PRACH resources managed by this new beam. After receiving the random access request, the base station determines the new beam and sends a response message within a control set CORESET (CORESET-BFR) dedicated to beam failure recovery. After receiving the response message, the terminal receives the downlink control channel PDCCH in the CORESET-BFR by using the new beam, and uses the latest beam of the random access channel as the sending beam of the uplink control channel PUCCH until the terminal receives the RRC message reconfigured by the transmission configuration index TCI or the MAC CE signaling activated by the TCI.
Compared with a system without an intermediate node, the intermediate node adjusts the beam direction, so the beam direction received by the terminal and the beam direction sent by the base station can change along with the phase adjustment of the intermediate node, when a beam failure recovery mechanism is considered, the terminal is required to report new candidate beams, a random access channel is adopted to establish a one-to-one correspondence with reference signals corresponding to the candidate downlink beams, the base station can obtain candidate beam information reported by the terminal through the detected PRACH, and the intelligent super surface adjusts the phase of the beam information, so that the correspondence between the random access channel and the reference signals corresponding to the downlink beams is changed, and the existing beam management mechanism and the beam failure recovery mechanism are not applicable.

Detailed Description
For the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments of the present application and corresponding drawings. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are only some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without undue burden from the present disclosure, are within the scope of the present disclosure.
The following describes in detail the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an IRS enhanced multi-antenna wireless communication system.
IRS is a passive device, similar to dish antennas used in satellite receivers, that reflects signals to improve signal-to-noise ratio. The different phase shift patterns of its different meta-surfaces result in the incident signal being reflected as a light beam in different directions. IRS is a complement to traditional massive MIMO technology, unlike massive MIMO systems and cooperative relaying, although IRS also attempts to improve propagation conditions by deploying active hardware components, IRS requires little operating power and is therefore suitable for implementation in energy-limited systems. Furthermore, IRSs can naturally operate in full duplex mode without the need for expensive self-interference cancellation. Furthermore, IRSs are very thin materials that can be deployed on building facades and interior walls. Thus, once a legacy network is deployed, one or more IRSs may be flexibly deployed to mitigate detected coverage holes or to provide additional capacity in areas where needed.
The deployment of intermediate nodes in a conventional MIMO system facilitates both beamforming, as shown in fig. 1, with one IRS deployed in one system to facilitate communication between the multi-antenna transmitter and the user. An information signal is radiated from the transmitter, a direct path for communication between the transmitter and the user is possible, and at the same time the IRS receives the information signal and will reflect this signal, the main direction of which can be controlled by means of an infrared controller. In particular, a suitable phase shift is introduced on all meta-atoms to deliberately create a coherent combination of their respective scattered signals, thereby producing a signal beam focused on the user, the larger the surface, the narrower the beam, a strategy called energy focusing.
On the other hand, if there is no direct path due to severe shadowing or blockage, the transmitter should beamform the IRS. The IRS may then act as a non-amplified full duplex relay reflecting and focusing the signal to the terminal device UE to facilitate end-to-end communication. In fig. 1, consider a scenario in which a multi-antenna transmitter serves user 1 in the presence of user 2. It is assumed that the two UEs have different security levels, wherein the message of user 1 cannot be decoded on user 2. In this case, by adjusting the phase of the scattered signal to stop the signal at user 2, destructive reflection can be performed at the IRS, a strategy called energy nulling.
With these two principles, IRSs are expected to have wide applications in various communication systems, including interference management, coverage extension, and capability improvement, such as wireless communication systems, cognitive radio networks, physical layer security systems, and the like.
The intermediate node of the present application controls the waveform parameters of electromagnetic waves propagating through the communication channel by reflection, refraction, or the like to improve the performance of the communication system, and is not limited to the IRS technology.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a method according to the present application.
The embodiment of the application provides a beam management method of an intermediate node, which is used for a mobile communication system, wherein the mobile communication system comprises network equipment, an intermediate node device and user equipment, downlink information generated by the network equipment is directly received by the user equipment after being radiated by a transmitter, or is received by the user equipment after being reflected by the intermediate node device, and the beam management method comprises the following steps:
step 101, transmitting indication information of the beam direction of the intermediate node through downlink information, wherein the downlink information comprises first indication information for identifying the beam direction of the intermediate node.
One of the schemes of the application is: the downlink information comprises second indication information, and the second indication information comprises random access channel resources and random access preamble sequences corresponding to the beam direction of the intermediate node. Further, the downlink information includes third indication information, where the third indication information includes a correspondence between downlink SSB transport blocks or CSI-RS corresponding to the intermediate node beam direction.
Preferably, the downlink information is higher layer signaling (RRC signaling or MAC CE signaling); the downlink information includes at least one of the following information: mapping pattern period, SSB random access opportunity and intermediate node phase information. Alternatively, the downlink information may also be DCI signaling.
In another aspect of the present application, the first indication information includes all beam directions within a phase change period range of the intermediate node.
At this time, the downlink information may also be sent by broadcasting. For example, the first indication information is configured by terminal-specific higher layer signaling or is configured by common higher layer signaling; for another example, the first indication information terminal is configured by downlink control signaling dedicated to the first indication information terminal or configured by group common signaling.
Step 102, in the beam failure recovery process, switching to the beam direction indicated in the downlink information.
When the first indication information contains all beam directions in the phase change period range of the intermediate node, the terminal equipment can automatically select another beam special for the intermediate node when the current beam fails.
When the first indication information only comprises one beam direction special for the intermediate node, corresponding random access channel resources and a random access preamble sequence, and the current beam is invalid, the request network further indicates the other beam direction special for the terminal equipment and special for the intermediate node and the corresponding random access channel resources so as to switch to the other beam special for the intermediate node.
In the embodiments of fig. 3 to 4, in the system with the intermediate node, after the base station schedules a part of the terminals to transmit data after being reflected by the intermediate node, when the part of the terminals detect beam failure, the base station configures a reference signal for determining a new beam, the terminals detect the reference signal, obtain new beam information, and the terminals receive uplink random access resources and uplink random access sequences which are configured to the base station and are dedicated for beam failure recovery of the intermediate node system. Different from the uplink random access resource and the uplink random access sequence of the non-deployed intermediate node, the method avoids collision caused by beam recovery of the terminal which directly receives the base station signal and does not reflect the received signal through the intermediate node.
Fig. 3 is a flow chart of an embodiment of the method of the present invention for a network device.
The method for network equipment according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the application comprises the following steps:
step 201A, the network device receives a beam switch request, the beam switch request requiring an indication of a beam direction dedicated to an intermediate node.
Step 202A, the network device sends the downlink information, where the downlink information includes first indication information, second indication information, and third indication information.
The first indication information is used for identifying the beam direction of the intermediate node; the second indication information comprises random access channel resources and random access preamble sequences corresponding to the beam direction of the intermediate node; and the third indication information comprises a corresponding relation of a downlink SSB transmission block or a CSI-RS corresponding to the beam direction of the intermediate node.
Mode 1: the phase change of the intermediate node is periodic, and the downlink information is indicated by RRC signaling or MAC CE signaling. For example, information such as a mapping pattern period (Association pattern period), an SSB access opportunity (SSB-perRACH-timing), and the like is added to RRC or MAC CE signaling.
Mode 2: the phase change of the intermediate node is at the slot level, and the downlink information is indicated by DCI signaling. Considering that the DCI signaling overhead is large, the number of mappings between random access occasions and SSB blocks may be reduced. If the terminal is configured with CSI-RS for new beam measurement and beam management, terminal-specific signaling is required to indicate the mapping period and mapping relation between CSI-RS and random access time, for specifying RACH opportunity where a dedicated preamble is located within a certain time range.
Fig. 4 is a flow chart of an embodiment of the method of the present invention for a terminal device.
The method, which is described in the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, is used for a terminal device, and includes the following steps:
step 301A, the terminal device receives the downlink information, where the downlink information includes first indication information, second indication information, and third indication information.
The first indication information is used for identifying the beam direction of the intermediate node; the second indication information comprises random access channel resources and random access preamble sequences corresponding to the beam direction of the intermediate node; and the third indication information comprises a corresponding relation of a downlink SSB transmission block or a CSI-RS corresponding to the beam direction of the intermediate node.
And 302A, when the current beam fails, the terminal equipment performs beam switching according to the beam direction indicated by the downlink information.
For example, the terminal receives configured second indication information, where the second indication information is configured by terminal-specific signaling, and the second indication information is a random access channel resource and a random access preamble sequence dedicated to the intermediate node and used for beam failure recovery.
Further, the third indication information received by the terminal is the terminal-specific signaling indication, and the third indication information is the beam correspondence between each random access channel and the preamble sequence and the SSB transport block or the CSI-RS of the base station.
Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of an SSB reflective communication application scenario.
The phase of the intermediate node is dynamically adjusted by the base station for better coverage, so that the beam direction of the SSB block after the phase is dynamically adjusted is rotated, and the existing correspondence between the random access timing (RO) formed by the random access resource and the random access sequence and the SSB block is not applicable, so that the base station notifies the terminal of the mapping period of the SSB and the RACH and the mapping relationship between the SSB and the random access timing. The signaling of this mapping period and mapping relation cannot be broadcast by the system information anymore, indicating to the terminal by means of terminal specific signaling, considering that the phase of the intermediate node is dynamically changing.
Fig. 6 is a flow chart of another embodiment of the method of the present invention for a network device.
The method for network equipment according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the application comprises the following steps:
step 201B, the network device sends the downlink information, where the downlink information includes first indication information, where the first indication information includes all beam directions within a phase change period range of the intermediate node;
the base station signals the dynamically changed phase to the terminal, considering that the phase of the intermediate node is dynamically changed, and the base station dynamically adjusts the phase of the intermediate node for better coverage and the like, so that the beam direction of the SSB block after dynamically adjusting the phase is rotated.
Step 202B, the network device receives the beam switching request, and identifies the beam direction after switching.
Fig. 7 is a flow chart of another embodiment of the method of the present invention for a terminal device.
The method, which is described in the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, is used for a terminal device, and includes the following steps:
step 301B, the terminal device receives the downlink information, where the downlink information includes first indication information, where the first indication information is used to identify a beam direction of an intermediate node, and the first indication information includes all beam directions in a phase change period range of the intermediate node;
in step 301B or other steps, the terminal device receives the existing uplink random access resource and uplink random access sequence for beam failure, and in step 301B, the terminal receives configured first indication information, which is generally phase information of an intermediate node, for example:
mode 1: the phase change of the intermediate node is periodic, indicated by RRC signaling or MAC CE signaling. The phase information of the intermediate node is added in RRC or MAC CE signaling.
Mode 2: the method for sending the broadcast-like information is used for sending the broadcast-like information to the terminals, and is suitable for judging the situation that a plurality of terminals need to know the phase information according to the beam failure request reported by the terminals. After receiving the beam failure request from the terminals, the base station periodically sends a high-layer public signaling instruction to the phases of the intermediate nodes of the terminals.
Mode 3: the phase change of the intermediate node is slot level, indicated with DCI signaling. And taking the fact that DCI signaling overhead is large into consideration, quantizing the phase information of the intermediate node, and indicating the quantized bits. If the indication is needed to a plurality of terminals, the indication can be carried out by defining a downlink control signaling scrambled by a phase-RNTI and sampling a group signaling, and the phase information is indicated to a group of terminals, so that the signaling overhead is reduced.
And step 302B, when the current beam fails, the terminal equipment selects a new beam direction in the all beam direction ranges to perform beam switching.
And the terminal calculates the rotation direction of the SSB block or the CSI-RS beam according to the obtained intermediate node phase information, and performs beam recovery by utilizing the corresponding random access time.
For example, the base station configures 64 SSB blocks or CSI-RS beam directions, the terminal measures the best beam direction as the fourth beam direction, obtains the corresponding best SSB block or CSI-RS beam direction which is not reflected by the intermediate node according to the phase information of the intermediate node, and uses the random access time mapped by the first SSB block or CSI-RS beam to access. The base station knows the optimal downlink wave beam reported by the terminal as the first wave beam according to the information of the random access time, and sends the information by using the first wave beam in the subsequent transmission
