Description

Data transmission method, device and system Technical field

The present application relates to, but is not limited to, a Long Term Evolution Advanced System (LTE-Advanced), and more particularly to a data transmission method, apparatus, and system.

Background technique

With the continuous advancement of radio technology, a variety of radio services have emerged. However, the spectrum resources supported by the radio service are limited. In the face of increasing demand for bandwidth, the traditional commercial communication mainly uses 300MHz to 3GHz. The spectrum resources between them show extremely tight conditions and are no longer able to meet the needs of future wireless communications.

In future wireless communications, communication will be carried out using a carrier frequency higher than that of the fourth-generation (4G) communication system, such as 28 GHz, 45 GHz, etc., which has a large free propagation loss. The shortcomings of being easily absorbed by oxygen and affected by rain attenuation seriously affect the coverage performance of high-frequency communication systems. However, since the carrier frequency corresponding to the high-frequency communication has a shorter wavelength, it is possible to accommodate more antenna elements per unit area, and more antenna elements mean that beamforming can be used to improve the antenna gain. In order to ensure the coverage of high-frequency communication.

After the beamforming method, the transmitting end can concentrate the transmitting energy in a certain direction, and the energy is small or absent in other directions, that is, each beam has its own directivity, and each beam can only cover To a terminal in a certain direction, the transmitting end (ie, the base station) needs to transmit multiple beams to complete the full coverage.

However, since the terminal or other objects may move, the preferred beam between the terminal and the high frequency station may be blocked, causing the link to fail, affecting the user experience, and the above phenomenon is more pronounced in the high frequency band than the coverage of the low frequency band. For example, if the terminal moves to an obstacle, the link will be invalidated. At this time, it takes more time to perform beam selection again.

However, achievable data is implemented by dual beam or multiple beams in the related 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP, 3rd Generation Partnership Project) or 802.11 technology. The solution for transmission.
