However, a communication system using beamforming is very sensitive to movement or rotation of a terminal device. Specifically, the movement and rotation of the terminal device may cause a decrease in the beam pairing effect or a pairing failure between the network device and the terminal device, that is, the original beam pair cannot meet the requirement of communication link communication.
In the prior art, a terminal device usually integrates a motion sensor, such as an acceleration sensor, a gyroscope, a geomagnetic sensor, and the like, for detecting the motion behavior of a carrier.

Detailed Description
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of an embodiment of the present invention, and it should be understood that fig. 1 is only an exemplary illustration, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
As shown in fig. 1, communication system 100 may include a terminal device 110 and a network device 120. Network device 120 may communicate with terminal device 110 over the air. Network device 120 may refer to an entity on the network side that transmits or receives signals, such as a base station. The UE may be any terminal, for example, the UE may be a user equipment for Machine Type Communication (MTC) or the like.
Wherein, both the terminal device 110 and the network device 120 can rotate or translate.
That is to say, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to various communication systems. For example, a Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) System, a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) System, a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) System, a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), a 5G communication System, a Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution), an LTE Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) System, an LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD), a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), and the like.
Various embodiments are described herein in connection with network device 120 and terminal device 110.
The network device 120 may be a base station or a network side device with a base station function. For example, the network device may be a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) in a GSM system or a CDMA system, a Base Station (NodeB, NB) in a WCDMA system, an Evolved Node B (eNB or eNodeB) in an LTE system, or a relay Station, an access point, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a network device in a future 5G network, or the like.
It should be understood that the embodiment of the present invention is described by taking the case where the terminal device transmits the rotation behavior as an example, but is not limited thereto. For example, based on the same implementation manner, when the network device performs a rotation action, the response message of the first indication information may be directly sent to the terminal device.
Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart diagram of a method 200 of scanning a beam in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the method 200 includes:
210. and when the terminal equipment generates a rotation behavior, sending first indication information to the network equipment.
Specifically, when a terminal device has a rotation behavior, first indication information is sent to a network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate a level identifier of the rotation behavior, so that the network device allocates a time-frequency resource to the terminal device according to the level identifier.
That is to say, the network device may allocate the time-frequency resource to the terminal device by receiving the level identifier of the rotation behavior indicated by the first indication information sent by the terminal device.
Optionally, the terminal device may send Channel State Information (CSI) to the network device, where the CSI may include the first indication Information.
Optionally, before 210, the terminal device may send third indication information to the network device, where the third indication information indicates that the terminal device has a function of identifying a turning behavior. For example, the terminal device sends the third indication information to the network device when the terminal device is started for the first time. For another example, the terminal device periodically transmits the third indication information, and so on.
It should be understood that the level identifier in the embodiment of the present invention may refer to the level of the rotation behavior, or may be only one identifier for classifying the rotation behavior. The embodiments of the present invention are not particularly limited.
It should also be understood that the rotation behavior in the embodiment of the present invention refers to translation and/or rotation of the terminal device in a three-dimensional space, or translation and/or rotation in a planar space. The translation and/or rotation is only one kind of association relation describing the associated object, and indicates that three kinds of relations can exist. In particular, translation and/or rotation may represent: only translation, both translation and rotation, and only rotation.
For example, as an example, the terminal device (rigid body) may be divided into 6 degrees of freedom in an unconstrained spatial space. That is, the terminal device can be translated in 3 orthogonal directions and also can be rotated about the 3 orthogonal directions as axes, thereby having 6 degrees of freedom.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, taking a three-dimensional coordinate system as an example, the x axis is perpendicular to the mobile phone screen, the y axis is parallel to the short side of the mobile phone screen, the z axis is parallel to the long side of the mobile phone screen, and the 6 degrees of freedom are: translation along the x-axis, translation along the y-axis, translation along the z-axis, rotation about the x-axis, rotation about the y-axis, and rotation about the z-axis.
For another example, as another embodiment, the terminal device (rigid body) is constrained in a plane, and there are only three degrees of freedom in this plane, that is, the terminal device can be translated in 2 orthogonal directions in the plane, and can also be rotated about a direction perpendicular to the plane, thereby having 3 degrees of freedom.
Specifically, taking a two-dimensional coordinate system as an example, if the plane is an X-Y plane in fig. 3, the 3 degrees of freedom are: movement along the X-axis, movement along the Y-axis, and rotation about the Z-axis.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned 6 degrees of freedom and 3 degrees of freedom are exemplary descriptions of the turning behavior of the terminal device in the embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device may generate the first indication information by obtaining a rotation parameter of the rotation behavior. Wherein the rotation parameter refers to a parameter value capable of quantifying the rotation behavior of the terminal device. For example, the rotation parameter may include at least one of an angular velocity, an angular acceleration, and a rotation angle.
Specifically, the terminal device acquires the rotation parameter of the rotation behavior through the sensor. For example, acceleration sensors, gyroscopes, geomagnetic sensors, and the like are used to detect the motion behavior of the carrier. Among them, the gyroscope, also called angular velocity sensor, is different from an accelerometer (G-sensor), and its measured physical quantity is the rotational angular velocity during deflection and tilt. On the terminal equipment, the complete 3D motion cannot be measured or reconstructed only by using an accelerometer, and the G-sensor can only detect the axial linear motion when the rotational motion cannot be measured. However, the gyroscope can well measure the rotation and deflection actions, so that the actual action of a user, namely the rotation parameters corresponding to the rotation action of the terminal equipment can be accurately analyzed and judged. This is capable of being implemented by those skilled in the art, and the embodiments of the present invention will not be described in detail.
The following describes an implementation manner of generating the first indication information according to the rotation parameters after the terminal device obtains the rotation parameters.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device may first determine, according to the rotation parameter and the first mapping relationship information, a level identifier of the rotation behavior, where the first mapping relationship information may include at least one level identifier and a rotation parameter corresponding to the at least one level identifier; then, the first indication information is generated according to the grade mark. For example, the first indication information includes the rank indication.
For example, the level identification may be 1bit information. Specifically, when the rotation parameter of the terminal device exceeds the first threshold value and is smaller than the second threshold value, this level is identified as 1, when the rotation parameter exceeds the second threshold value and is smaller than the third threshold value, this level is identified as 2, and so on.
It should be understood that the above-described level identification is 1-bit information only for illustrative purposes. Embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and for example, the level indicator may also directly include the rotation parameter.
220. Receiving a response message of the first indication message sent by the network device, wherein the response message includes indication information of the time-frequency resource
Specifically, the terminal device receives a response message of the first indication message sent by the network device, where the response message includes indication information of the time-frequency resource.
In other words, after receiving the first indication information sent by the terminal device, the network device allocates a time-frequency resource to the terminal device according to the level identifier of the rotation behavior indicated by the first indication information; and generating a response message of the first indication information according to the time frequency resource, wherein the response message comprises the indication information of the time frequency resource. And sending a response message of the first indication information to the terminal equipment.
Optionally, the network device determines the number of candidate beams according to the level identifier and a second mapping relationship, where the second mapping relationship includes at least one level identifier and the number of candidate beams corresponding to each level identifier in the at least one level identifier; and allocating the time frequency resource to the terminal equipment according to the number of the candidate beams.
Specifically, the network device in the embodiment of the present invention may determine, according to the level identifier in the first indication information, the number of candidate beams that need to be scanned, and then allocate time-frequency resources to the terminal device according to the number of candidate beams that need to be scanned.
230. According to the indication information of the time frequency resource, on the time frequency resource, sending a signal to the network equipment through at least one candidate wave beam
Specifically, the terminal device sends a signal to the network device through at least one candidate beam on the time-frequency resource according to the indication information of the time-frequency resource, so that the network device determines a first beam with the strongest signal gain among the at least one candidate beam. Wherein the at least one candidate beam is a partial beam in the configuration beam of the terminal device. In other words, the network device receives the terminal device transmission signal through the at least one candidate beam, wherein the at least one candidate beam is a part of the configuration beams of the terminal device; and, by comparing the strength of the signal on the at least one candidate beam, a first beam with the strongest signal gain can be determined among the at least one candidate beam.
The basic idea of the beamforming technology is to divide a space into a plurality of regions, and a terminal device sends out beams to one to several regions on a specific time slice, so that the beams can be sent out in all the spaces after a plurality of time slices, that is, a network device can also scan all the spaces. The advantages of using the beamforming technology are: by concentrating the antenna energy in one direction, stronger signals in a certain direction can be obtained, and better communication distance or speed can be achieved. But can only be concentrated in a certain number of directions.
There may be multiple situations due to signal degradation. For example, signal blocking, i.e., no movement of the terminal device and the network and network devices occurs, but a blocking object occurs between the network device and the terminal device; or, the terminal equipment sends movement due to the movement of the user, so that the middle is blocked. As another example, the terminal device is rotated, for example, the user turns 90 degrees, and other conditions are not changed.
However, for the network device, the reason for the signal attenuation or interruption is not known, and only when the communication is found to be attenuated or interrupted, the configured beam of the terminal device is scanned comprehensively, the beam with the strongest signal gain is re-determined, and the communication is re-established, which occupies a lot of time-frequency resources.
The method for scanning the beams in the embodiment of the invention can ensure that the network equipment only needs to scan partial beams in the configuration beams of the terminal equipment through the rotation parameters, so as to determine the first beam with the strongest signal gain, and further, when the terminal equipment sends the rotation action, the network equipment effectively reduces the occupancy rate of time-frequency resources in the communication process of reestablishing.
It should be noted that there is one beam identification for each configured beam of the terminal device. For example, the configuration beam of the terminal device is 8, that is, one beam is configured every 45 °, wherein the 8 beams respectively correspond to one identifier. For example, the beam identifiers corresponding to the 8 beams are 0#, 1#, 2#, 3#, 4#, 5#, 6#, and 7# respectively, and when the terminal device transmits a signal through the 1# beam, the network device receives the signal by scanning the 1# beam. It should also be understood that the candidate beam in the embodiment of the present invention refers to a beam with a strong signal gain, which is determined by the terminal device according to the rotation parameter.
In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, in the configured beam of the terminal device, the terminal device may determine, according to the time-frequency resource and the rotation parameter, a beam identifier corresponding to at least one candidate beam; and transmitting the signal on the at least one candidate beam according to the beam identification corresponding to the at least one candidate beam. In other words, the network device may determine the number of candidate beams that need to be scanned according to the level identifier in the first indication information, and then allocate time-frequency resources to the terminal device according to the number of candidate beams that need to be scanned.
Specifically, after receiving a response message of first indication information sent by a network device, a terminal device calculates the maximum number of beams that can be sent through a time-frequency resource indicated in the response message; determining a beam identifier corresponding to at least one candidate beam according to the rotation parameter and the maximum number; then, the signal is transmitted on the at least one candidate beam according to the beam identification corresponding to the at least one candidate beam.
Optionally, the maximum number is M, and the terminal device may determine the rotation angle of the rotation behavior according to the rotation parameter; compensating the rotation angle of a second beam of the terminal equipment according to a first direction to obtain a third beam, wherein the second beam is a beam used when the rotation behavior does not occur to the terminal equipment, and the first direction is the opposite direction of the rotation behavior; and determining the beam identifications corresponding to the M beams adjacent to the third beam as the beam identifications corresponding to the at least one candidate beam.
For example, in a planar motion system, the rotation may be clockwise or counterclockwise.
Assuming that the maximum number is M, the beam identifier used by the terminal device before the rotation action occurs is a 2# beam, and the rotation action is clockwise rotation by 30 °, when determining a possible beam identifier of the candidate beam, the terminal device may rotate the 2# beam by 30 ° counterclockwise to obtain a third beam corresponding to the 2# beam compensated region, and determine the beam identifiers corresponding to M beams adjacent to the third beam as the beam identifier corresponding to the at least one candidate beam.
While the above is described by way of example only with a system of planar motion and angular compensation, embodiments of the present invention may also be used to make angles in three-dimensional space. Compensation can also be made by angular velocity and angular acceleration, etc. The embodiments of the present invention are not particularly limited.
It should be understood that, when determining the beam identifier corresponding to the at least one candidate beam, the terminal device may first determine the maximum number of candidate beams that can be sent according to the time-frequency resource, and then directly determine the candidate beam identifier. Or the candidate beams of the terminal device may be sorted according to the rotation parameters, and then the beam identifiers corresponding to the candidate beams are directly determined in sequence according to the time-frequency resources, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
In this embodiment of the present invention, optionally, after determining the beam identifier corresponding to the first beam, the network device may send second indication information to the terminal device, where the second indication information is used to indicate the beam identifier corresponding to the first beam.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first indication information is used to indicate a level identifier of the turning behavior, the second indication information is used to indicate a beam identifier of the first beam, and the third indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal device has a function of detecting the turning behavior.
That is, the terms "first", "second" and "third" are merely used to distinguish different information, and the number, type, etc. of the information are not limited, that is, the scope of the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.
