- 无需额外信令,可为不同应用定制最优波束追踪间隔。
波束追踪是毫米波(30-100 GHz)和太赫兹(100-300 GHz)5G/6G系统的关键功能,需在基站和终端侧通过同步信号块(SSB)进行天线扫描。3GPP标准未规定波束追踪频率,其最优值取决于当前应用的微移动特性。由于空中接口无应用类型显式信令,本文提出在基站端基于接收信号强度模式远程检测应用类型。首先在156 GHz太赫兹频段开展多阶段实测,获取主流智能手机应用的信号强度轨迹;随后采用经典统计检验(Mann-Whitney)及多种机器学习分类方法进行应用区分。结果表明,Mann-Whitney测试可在应用启动后约1秒内以95%置信度区分快慢速应用类别;相同时间预算下,随机森林分类器仅用信号强度指标即可实现80%的快慢速应用分类准确率,特定应用检测准确率约为60%。该方法可不增加空中接口信令,估算出各应用的最优波束追踪周期。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Beam tracking is an essential functionality of millimeter wave (mmWave, 30-100 GHz) and sub-terahertz (sub-THz, 100-300 GHz) 5G/6G systems. It operates by performing antenna sweeping at both base station (BS) and user equipment (UE) sides using the Synchronization Signal Blocks (SSB). The optimal frequency of beam tracking events is not specified by 3GPP standards and heavily depends on the micromobility properties of the applications currently utilized by the user. In absence of explicit signalling for the type of application at the air interface, in this paper, we propose a way to remotely detect it at the BS side based on the received signal strength pattern. To this aim, we first perform a multi-stage measurement campaign at 156 GHz, belonging to the sub-THz band, to obtain the received signal strength traces of popular smartphone applications. Then, we proceed applying conventional statistical Mann-Whitney tests and various machine learning (ML) based classification techniques to discriminate applications remotely. Our results show that Mann-Whitney test can be used to differentiate between fast and slow application classes with a confidence of 0.95 inducing class detection delay on the order of 1 s after application initialization. With the same time budget, random forest classifiers can differentiate between applications with fast and slow micromobility with 80% accuracy using received signal strength metric only. The accuracy of detecting a specific application however is lower, reaching 60%. By utilizing the proposed technique one can estimate the optimal values of the beam tracking intervals without adding additional signalling to the air interface.
