Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a user equipment, a centralized unit device, a wireless communication method and a storage medium. The user equipment of the present disclosure comprises a processing circuit, wherein the processing circuit is configured to receive, from a centralized unit (CU) device, selection information related to a selection made by a distributed unit (DU) device; and determine, according to the selection information, a DU device for providing a service for the user equipment. By using the user equipment, the centralized unit device, the wireless communication method and the storage medium of the present disclosure, the user equipment can quickly and accurately find the most suitable DU device with the help of the CU device.

Claims (46)

1. A user equipment, comprising a processing circuit configured to:

receive, from a Central Unit CU device, selection information related to a plurality of Distributed Unit DU devices and Doppler shift values between the user equipment and each of the plurality of DU devices;

determine, according to the selection information, a DU device from among the plurality of DU devices serving the user equipment; and

determine, according to the selection information, the Doppler shift value corresponding to the determined DU device.

2. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to:

compensate a link between the user equipment and the DU device serving the user equipment according to the Doppler shift value.

3. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to:

transmit at least one of the following parameters of the user equipment to the CU device: Quality-of-Service QoS requirement information, location information, and speed information; and

receive, from the CU device, selection information generated based on the at least one parameter.

4. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to:

transmit a Doppler shift value update request to the CU device; and

receive, from the CU device, an updated Doppler shift value between the user equipment and the DU device serving the user equipment.

5. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the selection information comprises a mapping relationship between location information of the user equipment and the DU device serving the user equipment.

6. The user equipment according to claim 5 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to:

determine, according to the location information of the user equipment and the mapping relationship, the DU device serving the user equipment.

7. The user equipment according to claim 5 , wherein the selection information comprises a mapping relationship between the location information of the user equipment and the Doppler shift value between the user equipment and the DU device serving the user equipment.

8. The user equipment according to claim 7 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to:

determine, according to the location information of the user equipment and the mapping relationship, the Doppler shift value between the user equipment and the DU device serving the user equipment.

9. A Central Unit CU device, comprising a processing circuit configured to:

generate selection information related to a plurality of Distributed Unit DU devices and Doppler shift values between a user equipment a user equipment and each of the plurality of DU devices; and

transmit the selection information to the user equipment to determine a DU device from among the plurality of DU devices to serve the user equipment and determine the Doppler shift value for the determined DU device.

10. The CU device according to claim 9 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to:

receive at least one of the following parameters of the user equipment from the user equipment: Quality-of-Service QoS requirement information, location information, and speed information; and

determine the selection information according to the at least one parameter.

11. The CU device according to claim 9 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to:

receive a Doppler shift value update request from the user equipment or the DU device serving the user equipment; and

transmit an updated Doppler shift value between the user equipment and the DU device serving the user equipment, to the user equipment and the DU device serving the user equipment.

12. The CU device according to claim 9 , wherein the selection information comprises a mapping relationship between location information of the user equipment and the DU device serving the user equipment.

13. The CU device according to claim 12 , wherein the selection information comprises a mapping relationship between the location information of the user equipment and the Doppler shift value between the user equipment and the DU device serving the user equipment.

14. The CU device according to claim 12 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to:

divide a service coverage of the CU device into a plurality of location areas; and

for each of the plurality of location areas, determine, according to performance parameters of all DU devices in the service coverage of the CU device, a DU device having a mapping relationship with the location area.

15. The CU device according to claim 14 , wherein the performance parameter of the DU device comprises a Doppler shift value between the DU device and the location area.

16. A wireless communication method performed by a user equipment, the wireless communication method comprising:

receiving, from a Central Unit CU device, selection information related to a plurality of Distributed Unit DU devices and Doppler shift values between the user equipment and each of the plurality of DU devices;

determining, according to the selection information, a DU device from among the plurality of DU devices serving the user equipment; and

determining, according to the selection information, the Doppler shift value corresponding to the determined DU device.

17. The wireless communication method according to claim 16 , further comprising:

compensating a link between the user equipment and the DU device serving the user equipment according to the Doppler shift value.

18. The wireless communication method according to claim 16 , further comprising:

transmitting at least one of the following parameters of the user equipment to the CU device: Quality-of-Service QoS requirement information, location information, and speed information; and

receiving, from the CU device, selection information generated based on the at least one parameter.

19. The wireless communication method according to claim 16 , further comprising:

transmitting a Doppler shift value update request to the CU device; and

receiving, from the CU device, an updated Doppler shift value between the user equipment and the DU device serving the user equipment.

20. The wireless communication method according to claim 16 , wherein the selection information comprises a mapping relationship between location information of the user equipment and the DU device serving the user equipment.
