Communication Method, Related Apparatus Device, and Computer-Readable Storage Medium - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18154612 titled 'Communication Method, Related Apparatus Device, and Computer-Readable Storage Medium
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an application that improves communication efficiency in beam sweeping by dynamically adjusting the number of sweeping beams and shutdown symbols based on the system load. This helps to reduce power consumption and energy overheads in base stations.
- The application provides a method for configuring the quantity of sweeping beams and shutdown symbols based on the system load at a given moment.
- The method helps to optimize the use of beams for sweeping, enhancing coverage while minimizing energy consumption.
- The application also includes a communication apparatus, a communication device, and a computer-readable storage medium to implement the method.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile communication networks: This technology can be applied to improve the efficiency and energy consumption of base stations in mobile networks.
- Internet of Things (IoT): The method can be used to optimize communication in IoT devices, reducing power consumption and improving network coverage.
Problems solved by this technology:
- High energy overheads: The fixed quantity of beams used in conventional beam sweeping methods often leads to unnecessary power consumption. This technology dynamically adjusts the number of beams based on system load, reducing energy overheads.
- Inefficient coverage enhancement: By optimizing the use of beams, this technology improves coverage without wasting energy on unnecessary sweeping.
Benefits of this technology:
- Energy savings: By adjusting the number of beams and shutdown symbols based on system load, this technology helps base stations save more energy.
- Improved communication efficiency: The dynamic configuration of beams and symbols enhances coverage and reduces power consumption, leading to more efficient communication.
- Cost reduction: By minimizing energy overheads, this technology can help reduce operational costs for mobile network operators.
Original Abstract Submitted
This application provides a communication method, applied to beam sweeping. The method includes: obtaining system load of a cell at a current moment; configuring a quantity of sweeping beams in a sweeping periodicity based on the system load at the current moment; and configuring a quantity of shutdown symbols based on the quantity of sweeping beams. This application further provides a communication apparatus, a communication device, and a computer-readable storage medium, to resolve a technical problem in a conventional technology that a plurality of symbols are always in a power consumption state and energy overheads are high because a fixed quantity of beams are used for sweeping to enhance coverage, so that a base station saves more energy.
