Abstract

Provided are a device and method for a wireless communication system, and a computer readable storage medium. The device comprises a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to: acquire the current three-dimensional spatial location of a user equipment, and determine a resource for the user equipment according to information showing a mapping relationship at least between three-dimensional spatial regions and resources. According to an aspect of the embodiment of the present disclosure, time delay can be decreased and transmission performance can be optimized by pre-establishing a mapping relationship between three-dimensional spatial regions and resources and assigning to the user equipment an uplink/downlink time-frequency resource on the basis of the mapping relationship.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An apparatus in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to:
 determine, based on a measurement result of a downlink channel quality or an uplink channel quality between a base station and a user equipment, information related to an uplink transmission angle of the user equipment; and   notify the user equipment of the determined information related to the uplink transmission angle, for the user equipment to perform uplink transmission based on the uplink transmission angle.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
 transmit a downlink reference signal to the user equipment by utilizing each of a predetermined number of downlink transmission beams;   determine, according to measurement results of downlink channel qualities fed back by the user equipment based on the received downlink reference signal, a downlink transmission beam for the user equipment among the predetermined number of downlink transmission beams; and   notify information related to the determined downlink transmission beam to the user equipment.   
     
     
         3 . The apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
 determine the uplink transmission angle based on the determined downlink transmission beam; and   notify the determined uplink transmission angle to the user equipment.   
     
     
         4 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
 allocate an uplink resource to the user equipment; and   perform uplink channel quality measurement based on an uplink reference signal transmitted by the user equipment utilizing the uplink resource; and   instruct, according to a result of the uplink channel quality measurement, the user equipment to adjust the uplink transmission angle and re-allocate an uplink resource to the user equipment, until the result of the uplink channel quality measurement satisfies a predetermined condition.   
     
     
         5 . An apparatus in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to:
 determine an uplink transmission angle according to information related to the uplink transmission angle from a base station; and   perform, based on the uplink transmission angle, uplink transmission with respect to the base station.   
     
     
         6 . The apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the information related to the uplink transmission angle is information related to a downlink transmission beam for the user equipment which is determined by the base station based on a measurement result of a downlink channel quality, and the processing circuitry is further configured to:
 determine the uplink transmission angle of the user equipment with respect to the base station based on the information related to the downlink transmission beam; and   perform uplink transmission based on the uplink transmission angle.   
     
     
         7 . The apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the information related to the uplink transmission angle is an instruction to adjust the uplink transmission angle made by the base station based on a measurement result of an uplink channel quality, and the processing circuitry is further configured to:
 adjust, based on the instruction from the base station, the uplink transmission angle of the user equipment, and transmit the uplink reference signal to the base station by utilizing the adjusted uplink transmission angle; and   perform uplink transmission with respect to the base station by utilizing a final adjusted uplink transmission angle.
