Below is a specific embodiment to explain the process of the above method in detail.
With a continuous development of satellite antenna technology, a current broadband satellite system mostly adopts a multi-point beam satellite to enhance a system capacity. Currently, the multi-point beam satellite communication system reuses a frequency of each beam in a payload design, and there is no fixed allocation method for a radio frequency power. A multi-beam antenna technology, as one of the necessary technologies for a broadband satellite communication system, has been widely applied in many practical satellite communication systems. A traditional multi-beam satellite evenly distributes broadband and power to each point beam. However, due to an uneven distribution and demand of ground services, a resource utilization of the satellite system is not high, and an actual communication capacity is greatly reduced. In order to solve a problem of mismatch between satellite resource requirements and configurations, beam hopping (BH) has been developed on a basis of the traditional multi-beam technology, as shown in
For a DRX cycle, as shown in
A network device can tell a DRX parameter of a certain terminal device through an RRCconnectionReconfig (RRC connection configuration signaling) or through an RRCconnectionSetup (RRC connection establishment) signaling. For several basic timers: 1) onDurationTimer: a number of PDCCH subframes continuously monitored from a beginning of one DRX cycle; 2) drx-InactivityTimer: a number of consecutive PDCCH subframes that remain at the On Duration state after the terminal successfully decodes a PDCCH indicating uplink and downlink data transmitted initially; 3) drx-RetransmissionTimer: a number of PDCCH subframes continuously monitored starting from a subframe where that the terminal expects to receive downlink retransmission; 4) longDRX-CycleStartoffset: specifying a longDRX-cycle and a drxstartfset; 5) shortDRX-cycle: a number of subframes that a shortDRX cycle lasts; 6) drxShortCycleTimer: specifying how long the terminal uses a short DRX cycle. This value is a multiple of the short DRX cycle.
The present disclosure provides a DRX function operation executed by the satellite hopping beam, and the DRX function operation is illustrated by taking the network device as a satellite base station.
Firstly, a satellite base station 1 determines a terminal device (UE) (or one or more services of a UE) to use beam information at different time points. For example, in a multi-beam satellite system, a beamforming antenna generates K point beams in a coverage area, and a total bandwidth is Mtotal. A satellite using the BH technology allocates the total bandwidth of the system to each point beam in the unit of the time slot. For example, a time window with a time slot length of P1 has a minimum time slot allocation unit of Slot, and the system allocates a corresponding number of slots to each beam according to requirements of different services of each beam and a current load situation. That is, the service of the UE is allocated with m+k time slots within the length of P1, with a beams for m time slots, and b beams for k time slots, or combines with the covered satellite base station 2 to determine one UE (or one or more services of one UE) to use beam information at different time points.
For a scenario of spectrum sharing between a mobile network and a satellite network, a pattern between point beams can be negotiated in advance between the two base stations, and the pattern is orthogonal to patterns (images) of point beams on both sides. On the other hand, due to a mobility of the UE, a dynamic beam pattern orthogonal scheme may be introduced. Because the two networks are cross operator, a dynamic interaction between networks can be challenging. So, the UE can receive signals from two network devices simultaneously. If it is found that a network device 1 sends a point beam other than a static pattern, the UE may notify a network device 2 through a Medium Access Control (MAC)/DCI signaling that carries a power value information. Based on a report of the UE, the network device 2 determines whether to modify the transmission of the point beam. It can be understood that the satellite base station can allocate the time slots corresponding to each point beam based on a service requirement of the terminal device covered by the satellite base station and the current load situation of the base station, and send point beam information covering the UE to the UE. That is, the point beam information includes a point beam sequence and a time slot allocated for the point beam sequence. The time slot of the point beam sequence is allocated by the satellite base station based on the service requirement of the terminal covered by a plurality of point beams of the network device and the current load situation of the network device.
Secondly, the satellite base station 1 determines the DRX parameter based on a service characteristic of the UE.
The satellite base station 1 can send the determined beam information and the DRX parameter to the terminal device UE. In the present disclosure, a state where the UE does not monitor a PDCCH scheduling is referred to as the dormant state, and otherwise, it is referred to as the On Duration state.
The terminal device determines the state of the terminal device based on the sent point beam information and the DRX parameter, to improve the power saving effect. That is, by using usage information of the hopping beam and the DRX parameter, a function of the DRX and a use of a UE-end timer are redesigned to determine the state of the terminal device and improve the power saving effect.
