Abstract

A method for a distributed antenna-based communication device to perform communication based on inter-panel interference may comprise: a step of measuring interference between transmission beams of a transmission panel and reception beams of a reception panel; a step of configuring inter-panel beam pair information by pairing the beams of the transmission panel and the beams of the reception panel on the basis of the measurement; and a step of transmitting the inter-panel beam pair information to a base station or an adjacent communication device.

Claims (23)

1. A method for performing communication based on inter-panel interference by a distributed antenna-based communication device, the method comprising:

measuring interference between transmission beams of a transmission panel and reception beams of a reception panel;

configuring inter-panel beam pair information by pairing the beams of the transmission panel and the beams of the reception panel on the basis of the measurement; and

transmitting the inter-panel beam pair information to a base station or a neighboring communication device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inter-panel beam pair information includes one or more of pair information of a transmission beam index of the transmission panel and a reception beam index of the reception panel.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the inter-panel beam pair information includes a best pair or a worst pair, and the best pair is a pair of a best transmission beam index and the reception beam index and the worst pair is a pair of a worst transmission beam index and the reception beam index.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inter-panel beam pair information is transmitted periodically.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inter-panel beam pair information is transmitted non-periodically if a specific condition is satisfied.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the specific condition is satisfied when a predetermined difference occurs between an inter-beam interference measurement value of panels and an inter-beam interference measurement value of previous panels.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the communication device includes a vehicle.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission beams correspond to analog transmission beams, and the reception beams correspond to analog reception beams.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inter-panel beam pair information is transmitted through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared CH (PUSCH).

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission panel operates in a transmission mode, and the reception panel operates in a reception mode.

11. A distributed antenna based communication device for performing communication based on inter-panel interference, the distributed antenna based communication device comprising:

a transmission panel;

a reception panel; and

a processor configured to measure interference between transmission beams of the transmission panel and reception beams of the reception panel and configured to configure inter-panel beam pair information by pairing the beams of the transmission panel and the beams of the reception panel based on the measured result,

wherein the processor is configured such that the transmission panel transmits the inter-panel beam pair information to a base station or a neighboring communication device.

12. The distributed antenna based communication device of claim 11 , wherein the inter-panel beam pair information includes one or more of pair information of a transmission beam index of the transmission panel and a reception beam index of the reception panel.

13. The distributed antenna based communication device of claim 12 , wherein the inter-panel beam pair information includes a best pair or a worst pair, and the best pair is a pair of a best transmission beam index and the reception beam index and the worst pair is a pair of a worst transmission beam index and the reception beam index.

14. The distributed antenna based communication device of claim 11 , wherein the inter-panel beam pair information is transmitted periodically.

15. The distributed antenna based communication device of claim 11 , wherein the inter-panel beam pair information is transmitted non-periodically if a specific condition is satisfied.

16. The distributed antenna based communication device of claim 11 , wherein the distributed antenna based communication device is capable of communicating with at least one of neighboring communication device, a communication device related to an autonomous driving vehicle, the base station or a network.
