After receiving the command, the access point that has no service for a long time can stop sending the DRS signal; or the LAA access point with short DRS transmission period and long time can adjust its parameter configuration and let some time domain resources send DRS requests.

图8所示为本发明实施例5中一载波占用情况示意图。
具体实施方式
一般管制的非授权频谱每次最大占用时长约为10ms(一般有地域差异)，因此在占用非授权载波后再发送用于小区发现、同步和测量的参考信号，如PSS)/SSS、CRS、PRS、SRS、DRS、PDCCH等，并进行上述操作不太现实。
同时，对于使用非授权载波的通信系统，需要避免使用在非授权载波中已有站点正在使用的非授权载波，否则会造成系统间彼此干扰。所以在一些国家(如欧洲和日本)，对于非授权载波强制要求支持先听后说(LBT，Listen before Talk)功能。在使用某个非授权载波之前，需要执行CCA功能，如果发现有设备正在使用该非授权载波，或者检测的信号能量超过CCA门限，则延迟接入。如果发现信道空闲，或者检测的信号能量低于CCA门限，则占用该非授权载波。
因此，LBT/CCA会限制LAA参考信号在占用非授权载波之前发送。ETSI EN 301 893(ETSI，欧洲电信标准协会)规定，可以利用SCS来发送管理和控制帧(如ACK/NACK信号)，并且不需要感知当前信道空闲，也即发送前不需要执行LBT/CCA。但是SCS的发送有严格的限定：如果使用SCS，在50ms的观察周期内，自适应设备的短信令传输占空比最大不超过5％，也即2.5ms。这个限定对于WLAN/WiFi的影响不大，但是对于多个LAA站点来说，如何在这么短的限定时间内协调发送各种参考信号是个亟待解决的问题。
本发明所要解决的技术问题是：提供一种在非授权载波占用前发送信号的方法，降低LAA接入点或LAA基站每次抢占到资源后处理数据发送以外(如小区发现、同步、CSI获取等)的时间，同时又能满足非授权载波发送管制的要求。
图1为本发明实施例一种信号发送方法流程示意图，该方法应用于 LAA接入点或LAA基站，如图1所示，该方法包括：
步骤11：确定在非授权载波非占用期使用SCS发送信号的配置信息。
需要说明的是，本发明实施例中提及的SCS不单单指ETSI规定中的SCS，而泛指规定的非占用期特殊时长用于发送短时的信号、信道。在SCS时长内发送信号、信道，LAA接入点不需要执行CCA和LBT功能。SCS发送时长需要满足一定的管制要求，否则就违背了非授权频段不同系统和设备友好共存的原则。有些地区和国家对于SCS可能有另外的名称和定义，这里统称为SCS。还有些地区和国家可能没有定义SCS，针对这些地区和国家可以定义SCS以及类似规则要求(例如对发送时长的要求，在固定时长的观察期内发送时长不得大于设定比例)来进行非占用期的信号发送。
步骤12：根据所述确定的配置信息，使用SCS发送所述信号。
以发送DRS为例，同系统可以协调发送，即LAA接入点或LAA基站之间交互是否发送DRS、以及DRS配置信息。一具体实施例中，LAA接入点或LAA基站将自身使用SCS发送信号的配置信息发送给其他LAA接入点或LAA基站。
相应地，所述确定在非授权载波非占用期使用SCS发送信号的配置信息之前，该方法还可以包括：
接收来自其他LAA接入点或LAA基站使用SCS发送信号的配置信息；
根据接收的其他LAA接入点或LAA基站使用SCS发送信号的配置信息，判断是否使用SCS发送信号，确定使用SCS发送信号时，再执行后续流程，即确定使用SCS发送信号的配置信息。
需要说明的是，无论LAA接入点或LAA基站开始使用SCS发送信号、停止使用SCS发送信号或更改使用SCS发送信号的配置信息，都会向其他LAA接入点或LAA基站发送通知消息，携带相应的配置信息。
以发送DRS为例，还可以在DRS发送之前侦听统计，例如，发送前先 侦听50ms*X,X>1，统计50ms*X里出现的DRS数目和/或LAA接入点或LAA基站数量来决定自己发还是不发DRS。一具体实施例中，所述确定在非授权载波非占用期使用SCS发送信号的配置信息之前，该方法还可以包括：
侦听或检测第二预设时间段内其他LAA接入点或LAA基站使用SCS发送信号的信息；
根据所述侦听或检测到的信息，判断是否使用SCS发送信号，确定使用SCS发送信号时，再执行后续流程，即确定使用SCS发送信号的配置信息。
一具体实施例中，所述确定在非授权载波非占用期使用SCS发送信号的配置信息，包括：
获取预设的用于SCS发送的资源信息；

需要说明的是，当预设的用于SCS发送的资源均被占用时，可以通过频域复用的方式继续在这些资源上发送信号。
需要说明的是，本实施例中所述的资源包括但不限于：无线帧、子帧、时隙、OFDM符号、资源单元(RE)。
以发送DRS为例，可以预设每个LAA接入点或LAA基站(有限制，有协调)保证在160ms至少发一次(即固化DRS的发送图样，保证符合SCS的管制要求)，如果想缩短发送DRS周期，那么需要进行CCA，如果是空闲的话，当然可以发送DRS。这里的CCA不是侦听后就发送数据，而 是为了发送DRS所进行小区检测(cell detection)、T/F tracking、RRM测量(measurement)。
一具体实施例中，所述确定使用SCS发送信号的配置信息，包括：
根据预设的选择算法，选择一个或多个载波进行SCS信号发送，例如，可以根据载波负荷，选择一个或多个低负荷载波进行SCS信号发送。

其他LAA接入点或LAA基站未使用SCS发送信号的情况下，随机或者按照预设的最低占用度信息确定使用SCS发送信号的SCS资源；
其他LAA接入点或LAA基站使用SCS发送信号的情况下，选择空闲的和/或已被占用的SCS资源发送信号。
一具体实施例中，所述确定在非授权载波非占用期使用SCS发送信号的配置信息之前，该方法还包括：
向其他一个或多个LAA接入点或LAA基站发送协调请求。
一具体实施例中，该方法还包括：
如果所述LAA接入点或LAA基站在第三预设时间段内未发送业务数据，则停止使用SCS发送信号，或者，调整使用SCS发送信号的配置信息，以避免资源浪费。这里，以发送DRS为例，为了避免资源浪费，如果LAA接入点或LAA基站长时间内没有业务发送或竞争需求，则可以调整DRS发送配置，降低对SCS的占用。或者，停发DRS。每次抢占完，保留一定时间来发送DRS维持同步。(例如，如果接入点较多，而某个接入点长期不发数据，那么它在最后一次占用完毕，并经过一定定时之后，需停发DRS，让出SCS给其他站点发送。长期不发送数据后的第一次竞争接入必须付出同步代价)。
一具体实施例中，该方法还包括：LAA接入点或LAA基站在使用SCS 发送信号的配置信息发生变化时，向其他LAA接入点或LAA基站发送通知消息，携带变化后的配置信息。

所述接收模块204，配置为接收来自其他LAA接入点或LAA基站使用SCS发送信号的配置信息；
所述第二处理模块205，配置为根据接收模块204在第一预设时间段内接收的其他LAA接入点或LAA基站使用SCS发送信号的配置信息，判断是否使用SCS发送信号，确定使用SCS发送信号时，再通知第一处理模块201进行处理。
一具体实施例中，如图4所示，该装置还包括第三处理模块206和第四处理模块207，
所述第三处理模块206，配置为侦听或检测第二预设时间段内其他LAA接入点或LAA基站使用SCS发送信号的信息；

一具体实施例中，所述第一发送模块202在非授权载波占用期，继续使用所述配置信息发送信号。
一具体实施例中，所述第一发送模块202在非授权载波占用期内，停止发送所述信号，或者，在预设资源上继续发送所述信号。
下面通过具体实施例对本发明的技术方案作进一步详细说明。
在获得非授权载波占用权之前，为了进行小区发现、同步和测量，需要发送必要的上下行参考信号以及信道，如：PSS/SSS、CRS、PRS、SRS、DRS、PDCCH等。根据实际需求，需要发送上述信号中的一种或多种。本实施例以DRS为例，来说明多个LAA接入点如何在满足管制要求下、并且在占用非授权载波之前发送信号或信道，来实现小区发现、同步和测量的解决方案。因此，本发明的解决方案同样适合在非授权载波占用前发送其他信号或信道，包括新设计的信号。
不同的国家或地区有不同的非授权载波使用管制要求。本实施例以ETSI的规定和管制要求为例，即在使用某个非授权载波之前，需要执行LBT/CCA功能。特殊情况下可以利用SCS来发送管理和控制帧(如ACK/NACK信号)，并且发送前不需要执行LBT/CCA。如果使用SCS，在50ms的观察周期内，自适应设备的短信令传输占空比最大不超过5％，也即2.5ms。其他的国家或地区具体的管制要求有可能存在差异，但是本实施例的解决思路同样适合解决类似问题。
假设DRS包括PSS/SSS、CRS以及CSI-RS(可配置)。PSS/SSS和CRS用于小区发现和同步，CRS和CSI-RS用于RRM测量。
简单起见，假设CRS和CSI-RS都是单端口配置。每个子帧中，CRS出现的符号为：符号0、符号4、符号7、符号11。SS出现在子帧0和子帧5的符号5、符号6。CSI-RS出现的符号为：符号9、符号10。如果没有特殊说明，下文中出现的符号含义与此处相同，都是指LTE协议中规定的OFDM符号(1个子帧为1ms，根据CP长度的不同，1个子帧包含14个或12个OFDM符号)。
假设DRS的发送周期可以为10ms、25ms、50ms、100ms或200ms；DRS的发送偏置可以为0个子帧到X个子帧(X<＝周期-1)；DRS的持续时间(duration)可以为1个子帧到5个子帧(对于TDD模式，为2个子帧到 5个子帧)。
如果DRS的持续时间为1个子帧，那么实际发送的符号数为8个符号；如果DRS的持续时间为2个子帧，那么实际发送的符号数为12个(SS与CSI-RS 2个子帧内占用符号数与1个子帧内占用符号数相同)，依次类推；
实施例1
本实施例描述一种信号发送前协调机制，包括：
步骤1、LAA接入点发送DRS前，需要执行小区间发送协调机制。
首先，对于已发送DRS的LAA接入点，需要在发送DRS前或开始发送DRS时，通知邻近LAA接入点自己开始发送DRS，以及所发DRS的参数。DRS参数可以包括下面一种或多种：周期、偏置、持续时间、端口、功率、时频资源等。通知方式可以通过LAA接入点间的有线连接或无线空口传输。无线方式可以在授权频谱上或通过其他已获得占用权的非授权载波传输。
LAA接入点在发送DRS前，需要根据已收到的发送DRS LAA数目以及相应参数配置，来决定自己是否可以发送，以及发送参数。
当LAA接入点准备初始发送DRS，或更改DRS发送配置时，需要根据小区间已交互的信息来确定新的DRS发送配置。LAA接入点正常发送DRS的过程中，不需要在每个周期都进行小区间发送协调机制。
简单起见，假设存在5个LAA接入点为邻近接入点(AP)，分别为AP1、AP2、AP3、AP4、AP5。
CASE 1：LAA接入点没有接收到邻近任何接入点通知会发送DRS。此时，该LAA接入点的DRS配置方式具有最大的灵活性。
例如：AP5准备发送DRS，在发送前，没有收到邻近任何AP通知会发送DRS。因此AP5可以通过ETSI SCS方式来发送DRS，但需要遵守SCS的管制要求，且应考虑到将来邻近AP发送DRS的需求，在满足自身要求 的条件下，最好按最低占用度来发送DRS。例如可以选择50ms的周期，1ms的持续时间，0子帧的偏置来发送DRS。此时，AP5的DRS配置方式具有最大的灵活性。
CASE 2：LAA接入点接收到邻近接入点发送DRS的通知，SCS的可占用时间部分可用。此时，该LAA接入点的DRS配置方式受到限制。
例如：AP5准备发送DRS，在发送前，已获知AP1和AP2正在发送DRS。AP1通知AP5DRS发送的参数为：周期为50ms，持续时间为2ms，偏置为0子帧；AP2通知AP5DRS发送的参数为：周期为50ms，持续时间为2ms，偏置为2子帧；那么AP1和AP2实际发送DRS的时间为1ms/14个符号*12个符号＝857us，两个AP共占用857us+857us＝1714us。那么AP5最大独立占用时长为2500us-1717us＝786us。也就是说AP5在50ms内不能独立占用2个子帧(857us)，可以独立占用1个子帧(571us)。一个方式是AP5周期设为或大于50ms，独立持续时间为1个子帧，偏置为任意可配置。另外一个方式AP5与AP1或AP2占用全部或部分同样的符号，但是通过频分或码分来区分，如时域相同，频域错开。持续时间可以为1个子帧、2个子帧、或3个子帧。此时，AP5的DRS配置方式受到较大约束。
CASE 3:LAA接入点接收到邻近接入点发送DRS的通知，SCS的可占用时间已接近占满或已被占满，此时，该LAA接入点只能在已被占用的SCS子帧或符号上重复占用，不能占用新的子帧或符号。或执行下文中其他的协调机制。
例如：AP5准备发送DRS，在发送前，已获知AP1、AP2和AP3正在发送DRS。AP1通知AP5DRS发送的参数为：周期为50ms，持续时间为2ms，偏置为0子帧；AP2通知AP5DRS发送的参数为：周期为50ms，持续时间为2ms，偏置为2子帧；AP3通知AP5DRS发送的参数为：周期为50ms，持续时间为1ms，偏置为4子帧。那么AP1、AP2、AP3发送DRS 共占用时长为：857us+857us+571us＝2285us，那么AP5最大独立占用时长为215us。AP5尚不足独立占用1个子帧，只能与AP1、或AP2、或AP3占用同样的符号。此时，AP5只能在已被占用的子帧或符号上重复占用，不能占用新的子帧或符号。
LAA接入点在发送前，进行小区间发送协调是为了不能违背SCS管制要求。如果50ms的观察期内，2.5ms可用于SCS发送的时长已接近占满或已被占满，后续准备在非授权载波占用前发送DRS的LAA接入点，只能在已用于发送DRS的时域资源上发送本接入点的DRS，而不能在该50ms周期内，占用新的时域资源来发送DRS。满足此类条件，LAA接入点在非授权载波占用前发送DRS不需要执行LBT/CCA功能。
除了约束DRS发送配置方式外，还可以执行如下其他的协调机制：
如同运营商系统内还可以通过协调来发送DRS。例如同运营商可以分配同一部署地点下几个LAA接入点的DRS发送方式。
甚至，当某一LAA接入点观察到SCS可占用时长已被占满或接近占满，可以发送DRS发送请求指令给邻近接入点。长期没有业务的接入点收到该指令后，可以停止发送DRS信号；或者DRS发送周期短、占用时长大的LAA接入点可以调整它的参数配置，让出一部分时域资源给发送DRS请求指令的接入点使用。停止发送DRS信号的LAA接入点、或调整DRS发送配置的LAA接入点在DRS发送方式更新后，需要重新发送新的配置方式(或终止发送信号)给邻近接入点。
LAA接入点在发送DRS之前，还可以询问邻近LAA接入点发送情况。根据邻近接入点的回应情况，来决定DRS是否在载波占用前发送，以及发送的配置参数。
根据上述描述，在占用非授权载波之前，小区间发送DRS或其他必要信号的发送协调机制至少包括下面一种或多种：
a.LAA接入点之间交互是否发送DRS的信息、和/或DRS的参数配置(如果所有LAA接入点发送DRS的参数配置固化，则不需交互参数配置情况)；
其中，是否发送DRS的信息和/或DRS的参数配置的交互又可分为两种方式：第一种是通知给邻近接入点，不需邻近接入点响应。第二种类似握手机制，通知给邻近接入点，邻近接入点给予确认信息。
基于该机制，发送DRS的接入点主动通知信息给邻近接入点，邻近接入点准备发送DRS时，只要统计一下接收到的信息来决定是否发送即可。
b.LAA接入点在发送DRS前，需要根据邻近接入点已发送DRS的参数配置，来决定自己是否可以发送，以及具体发送参数；
c.某一LAA接入点观察到SCS可占用时长已被占满或接近占满，可以发送DRS发送请求指令给邻近接入点进行协调；
d.长期没有业务的LAA可以停止发送DRS信号；或者DRS发送周期短、占用时长大的LAA接入点可以调整它的参数配置，让出一部分时域资源给发送DRS请求指令的接入点使用；
e.停止发送DRS信号的LAA接入点、或调整DRS发送配置的LAA接入点在DRS发送方式更新后，需要重新发送新的配置方式(或终止发送信号)给邻近接入点。
f.另外，同运营商系统内还可以协调多个邻近LAA接入点来发送DRS。
g.除机制a外，LAA接入点还可以在发送DRS之前，询问邻近LAA接入点发送情况。根据邻近接入点的回应情况，来决定DRS是否在载波占用前发送，以及发送的配置参数。
h.还有一种方法是LAA接入点之间发送SCS的功率协调。例如两个相距很远的LAA接入点，另外一个接入点已经占用了50ms中的2.5ms SCS 发送时长，本接入点可以不遵循该管制要求。这同样有两种方法：一是相邻LAA接入点交互发送DRS的功率参数配置，进行发送协调。二是LAA接入点对SCS中的信号进行测量，如果低于检测门限值，则该LAA接入点不认为这是对SCS的有效占用。因此不会把低于检测门限值的信号占用时长算在SCS里面。
步骤2、LAA接入点根据步骤1，确定DRS发送配置后开始发送DRS，并且需要把DRS发送信息、和/或DRS参数配置通知给邻近LAA接入点。
发送DRS的LAA接入点，需要在发送DRS前或开始发送DRS时，通知邻近LAA接入点自己开始发送DRS，以及所发DRS的参数。DRS参数可以包括下面一种或多种：周期、偏置、持续时间、端口、功率、时频资源等。通知方式可以通过LAA接入点间的有线连接或无线空口传输。无线方式可以在授权频谱上或通过其他已获得占用权的非授权载波传输。
对于另外一种可能机制(对应步骤1中的机制g)，LAA接入点在确定可以通过SCS发送DRS后，不通知邻近接入点自己的DRS发送信息、和/或DRS参数配置。而在接收到邻近LAA接入点发送的询问信息后，再发送如上信息给邻近LAA接入点。
步骤3、长时间内没有业务发送或竞争需求，可更改DRS的发送配置，甚至可以停发DRS。
第一种可能的选择是LAA接入点可以停发DRS。例如如果接入点较多，而某个接入点长期不发数据，那么它在最后一次占用完毕，启动定时器，保留一定时间来发送DRS维持同步，防止短期内有重新占用需求。经过一定定时之后，可停发DRS，让出SCS给其他站点发送。长期不发送数据后的第一次竞争接入可能付出同步代价。
或者可以更改DRS的发送配置，例如在最后一次占用完毕，启动定时 器，经过一定定时之后，可更新DRS的发送配置，降低对SCS可利用时长的占用。例如原来DRS的发送配置为周期为25ms，持续时间为2ms，偏置为0子帧，经过一定定时之后，始终无新的业务接入，可更新DRS的发送配置为周期为100ms，持续时间为1ms，偏置为0子帧。
停止发送DRS信号的LAA接入点、或调整DRS发送配置的LAA接入点在DRS发送方式更新后，需要重新发送新的配置方式(或终止发送信号的信息)给邻近接入点。
步骤4、UE根据接收到的DRS信号，执行小区检测、时频跟踪和RRM测量。
DRS包括PSS/SSS、CRS以及CSI-RS(可配置)。PSS/SSS和CRS用于小区发现和同步，CRS和CSI-RS用于RRM测量。
实施例2
本实施例涉及一种信号发送前侦听机制，具体包括：
步骤1、LAA接入点发送DRS前，需要执行侦听机制。
LAA接入点在准备发送DRS前进行侦听统计，可启动定时器，统计一定时长(例如至少为DRS的最大周期，如200ms)内出现的DRS，判断出正在发送DRS的LAA接入点数量、DRS的发送图样等信息。
LAA接入点在发送DRS前，需要根据检测到的发送DRS LAA数目以及相应参数配置，来决定自己是否可以发送，以及发送参数。
当LAA接入点准备初始发送DRS，或更改DRS发送配置时，需要根据侦听和检测信息来确定新的DRS发送配置。LAA接入点正常发送DRS的过程中，不需要在每个周期都进行侦听。
简单起见，假设存在5个LAA接入点为邻近接入点，分别为AP1、AP2、AP3、AP4、AP5。
CASE 1：在侦听时间内，LAA接入点没有侦听到邻近任何接入点发送 DRS。此时，该LAA接入点的DRS配置方式具有最大的灵活性。
例如：AP5准备发送DRS，在发送前，没有侦听到邻近任何接入点通知会发送DRS。因此AP5可以通过ETSI SCS方式来发送DRS，但需要遵守SCS的管制要求，且应考虑到将来邻近AP发送DRS的需求，在满足自身要求的条件下，最好按最低占用度来发送DRS。例如可以选择50ms的周期，1ms的持续时间，0子帧的偏置来发送DRS。此时，AP5的DRS配置方式具有最大的灵活性。
CASE 2：在侦听时间内，LAA接入点侦听到有邻近接入点发送DRS，SCS的可占用时间部分可用。此时，该LAA接入点的DRS配置方式受到限制。
例如：AP5准备发送DRS，在发送前，已检测到AP1和AP2正在发送DRS。AP1通知AP5DRS发送的参数为：周期为50ms，持续时间为2ms，偏置为0子帧；AP2通知AP5DRS发送的参数为：周期为50ms，持续时间为2ms，偏置为2子帧；那么AP1和AP2实际发送DRS的时间为1ms/14个符号*12个符号＝857us，两个AP共占用857us+857us＝1714us。那么AP5最大独立占用时长为2500us-1717us＝786us。也就是说AP5在50ms内不能独立占用2个子帧(857us)，可以独立占用1个子帧(571us)。一个方式是AP5周期设为或大于50ms，独立持续时间为1个子帧，偏置为任意可配置。另外一个方式AP5与AP1或AP2占用全部或部分同样的符号，但是通过频分或码分来区分，持续时间可以为1个子帧、2个子帧、或3个子帧。此时，AP5的DRS配置方式受到较大约束。
CASE 3:在侦听时间内，LAA接入点侦听到有邻近接入点发送DRS，SCS的可占用时间已接近占满或已被占满，此时，该LAA接入点只能在已被占用的SCS子帧或符号上重复占用，不能占用新的子帧或符号。
例如：AP5准备发送DRS，在发送前，已检测到AP1、AP2和AP3正 在发送DRS。AP1通知AP5DRS发送的参数为：周期为50ms，持续时间为2ms，偏置为0子帧；AP2通知AP5DRS发送的参数为：周期为50ms，持续时间为2ms，偏置为2子帧；AP3通知AP5DRS发送的参数为：周期为50ms，持续时间为1ms，偏置为4子帧。那么AP1、AP2、AP3发送DRS共占用时长为：857us+857us+571us＝2285us，那么AP5最大独立占用时长为215us。AP5尚不足独立占用1个子帧，只能与AP1、或AP2、或AP3占用同样的符号。此时，AP5只能在已被占用的子帧或符号上重复占用，不能占用新的子帧或符号。
对于上述三种情况，如果AP5不能明确判断LAA站点数和DRS的发送图样，它可以通过能量检测的方式来判断该非授权载波是否被占用，如果未被占用，则可以判断出用于SCS的时频资源。
LAA接入点在发送前，进行侦听和检测是为了不能违背SCS管制要求。如果50ms的观察期内，2.5ms可用于SCS发送的时长已接近占满或已被占满，后续准备在非授权载波占用前发送DRS的LAA接入点，只能在已用于发送DRS的时域资源上发送本接入点的DRS，而不能在该50ms周期内，占用新的时域资源来发送DRS。满足此类条件，LAA接入点在非授权载波占用前发送DRS不需要执行LBT/CCA功能。
同运营商或同接入系统内还可以通过协调来发送DRS。例如同运营商可以分配同一部署地点下几个LAA接入点的DRS发送方式。甚至，当某一LAA接入点侦听到SCS可占用时长已被占满或接近占满，可以发送DRS发送请求指令给邻近接入点。长期没有业务的接入点收到该指令后，可以停止发送DRS信号；或者DRS发送周期短、占用时长大的LAA接入点可以调整它的参数配置，让出一部分时域资源给发送DRS请求指令的接入点使用。停止发送DRS信号的LAA接入点、或调整DRS发送配置的LAA接入点在DRS发送方式更新后，需要重新发送新的配置方式(或终止发送 信号)给邻近接入点。
需要说明的是，本实施例中，可应用如实施例1所述的功率协调机制。
步骤2、LAA接入点根据步骤1，确定DRS发送配置后开始发送DRS。
步骤3、长时间内没有业务发送或竞争需求，可更改DRS的发送配置，甚至可以停发DRS。
第一种可能选择是LAA接入点可以停发DRS。例如如果接入点较多，而某个接入点长期不发数据，那么它在最后一次占用完毕，启动定时器，保留一定时间来发送DRS维持同步，防止短期内有重新占用需求。经过一定定时之后，可停发DRS，让出SCS给其他站点发送。长期不发送数据后的第一次竞争接入必须付出同步代价。
或者可以更改DRS的发送配置，例如在最后一次占用完毕，启动定时器，经过一定定时之后，可更新DRS的发送配置，降低对SCS可利用时长的占用。例如原来DRS的发送配置为周期为25ms，持续时间为2ms，偏置为0子帧，经过一定定时之后，始终无新的业务接入，可更新DRS的发送配置为周期为100ms，持续时间为1ms，偏置为0子帧。
停止发送DRS信号的LAA接入点、或调整DRS发送配置的LAA接入点在DRS发送方式更新后，还可以重新发送新的配置方式(或终止发送信号的信息)给邻近接入点。
步骤4、UE根据接收到的DRS信号，执行小区检测、时频跟踪和RRM测量。
DRS包括PSS/SSS、CRS以及CSI-RS(可配置)。PSS/SSS和CRS用于小区发现和同步，CRS和CSI-RS用于RRM测量。
实施例3
本实施例涉及一种发送DRS的混合机制(SCS和CCA结合机制)，具体地：
LAA可以采用一种非授权载波中SCS和CCA结合机制来发送DRS或其他必要信号。LTE/LAA可以事先制定严格的非授权载波占用前利用SCS发送信号的标准，包括限定这些符号/信道出现的周期、持续时间等等，同时需要满足ETSI或其他国家和地区的管制要求。如果LAA接入点准备在这些发送图样之外的符号发送参考信号，则需执行CCA功能，只能在信道空闲的情况下发送参考信号，且每发送一次就需要执行一次CCA功能。
例如，LTE标准可以限定在非授权载波占用前，发送SCS的周期为25ms。每个SCS的持续时间为1个子帧。例如，可能出现SCS的子帧只能为子帧0、子帧25、子帧50、子帧75等等。某个LAA接入点准备发送DRS或其他信号/信道，如果它想在侦听前通过SCS发送，它只能在这些子帧上发送。发送前它可以在这些子帧上侦听，选择在空闲SCS子帧上发送DRS。如果上述SCS子帧都有信号发送，它只能复用这些时域资源来发送DRS(如时域相同，频域错开)。按照SCS方式来发送DRS不需要执行CCA功能，只需要在初始发送前侦听和评估SCS子帧的占用情况。
在SCS子帧上发送信号前，多个LAA接入点可以在时域、频域、空域和功率多个方面进行协调。对于占用的AP，在这些子帧上可以做一些干扰规避的方式，如muting等。
或者通过如下方式发送信号，例如某个LAA接入点准备发送DRS，上述可能出现DRS的子帧0、子帧25、子帧50、子帧75等都被占用，或者该接入点打算以一个更小的周期如5ms来发送DRS，可以执行CCA功能，只能在信道空闲的情况下发送参考信号，且每发送一次就需要执行一次CCA功能，上述SCS子帧可以不需要执行CCA功能。
实施例4
本实施例涉及一种通过信道选择算法来实现DRS和其他必要信号发送的机制，具体地：
对于存在多个非授权载波的场景，某个LAA接入点准备发送DRS，它可以通过长期的能量检测和载波感知来选择一个或几个最干净的信道或载波发送DRS，作为优先抢占和发送业务的候选载波集合，而在其他载波上不发送DRS。发送DRS的载波集合也作为优先竞争和使用的载波集合。
例如存在五个邻近LAA接入点，分别为AP1、AP2、AP3、AP4、AP5。这5个LAA接入点都支持多非授权载波发送。可供使用的非授权载波有20个，分别为UCC1、UCC2、...、UCC20(实际上在5G频谱有可能存在多达24个20M的非授权载波)。AP1、AP2、AP3、AP4、AP5都可以通过长期的能量检测和载波感知来选择一个或几个最干净的信道或载波发送DRS，作为一个优先抢占和发送业务的候选载波，而在其他载波上不发送DRS。
当多非授权载波信道都占用频繁、负载较重的情况下，可使用CCA或结合其他实施例中的方法来发送DRS和其他必要信号。
实施例5
本实施例涉及一种新的帧格式或发送图样，具体地：
为了占用非授权载波后，快速利用非授权载波发送数据，提高非授权载波频谱利用效率，需要进一步解决非授权载波精同步和CSI快速获取问题。如果要解决精同步和CSI快速获取问题，则最好在占用非授权载波前几个子帧内发送下行参考信号，如CRS、CSI-RS，一般为5ms到10ms的周期。这具有突发性，不同于用于粗同步等作用的DRS周期性规律发送。DRS长周期发送不能维持精同步和信道状况测量，如果DRS短周期密集发送又违背非授权载波使用管制要求。在占用非授权之前发送，目前只能通过短控制信令SCS发送，否则不符合LBT的管制要求，也会对其他设备的竞争和使用造成干扰，不符合友好共存的原则。
本实施例中：
a.首先，可以划分出一部分SCS管制时长用于精同步和CSI快速获取 的信号发送。例如在50ms观察期内的2.5ms SCS可用时长中划分出1ms用于发送精同步和CSI测量的参考信号，如CRS和CSI-RS。CRS可以用于AGC和精同步(时频跟踪)，CSI-RS用于CSI测量和反馈。其他时长(如1.5ms)可用于DRS等信号在占用非授权载波前利用SCS发送。
b.定义一种新的帧格式，在CCA之前或CCA之后定义一个或几个OFDM符号为SCS符号，用于发送CRS和CSI-RS等参考信号。发送这些参考信号的作用是进行AGC，时频同步和CSI测量。利用SCS符号发送这些参考信号不需要执行CCA功能。
关于非授权载波的侦听和占用目前有两种设备，第一种是基于帧的设备(FBE，Frame-based Equipment，，另外一种是基于负载的设备(LBE，Load-based Equipment)。
目前，FBE有严格的帧格式要求，包括载波占用期、空闲期。在空闲期的末端又划分成CCA时长。
针对FBE，结合LTE的现有架构，我们定义出一种新的用于LAA的帧结构，包括：载波空闲期、载波占用期。载波占用期时长不能超过和低于管制要求(例如欧洲限制为1ms到10ms)。载波空闲期又分为：SCS符号时长、CCA时长和剩余空闲期。载波空闲期也需要满足管制要求(例如欧洲为不低于载波占用时长的5％)。载波空闲期所占用的符号可以设计在子帧或帧的前端；也可设计在子帧或帧的末端；也可以部分空闲期符号设计在子帧或帧的前端，另外一部分空闲期符号设计在子帧或帧的末端。SCS符号可以放在CCA之前，也可放在CCA之后，优选放在CCA之前。无论SCS符号的位置如何，利用SCS符号发送参考信号都不需要执行CCA功能。
例如，如图8所示，可设定整个非授权载波使用固定帧周期(fixed frame period)为10个LTE子帧，即10ms。
根据管制要求，载波空闲期不得低于载波占用时长的5％，那么可假设 载波占用时长为X个OFDM符号，载波空闲时长为Y个OFDM符号。有下式：
X+Y＝14symbols*10个子帧(subframe)
Y>＝X*5％
可以解得Y>＝6.66个符号(symbol)，所以对于10ms时长的固定帧周期，载波空闲期至少为7个符号。
设定载波空闲期位于固定帧的前端，占用符号0到符号6。符号0和符号1为SCS符号，占用时长约140us。需要注意的是：这里SCS占用时长需要满足SCS管制要求，即在50ms的观察周期内，自适应设备的短信令传输占空比最大不超过5％，也即2.5ms。符号2到符号5为其他的空闲期。符号6为CCA时长，用于空闲信道评估，进行非授权载波的侦听和竞争。如果侦听结果是空闲，如图8所示固定帧的剩余部分可为本设备占用。
SCS符号用于发送CRS、CSI-RS等参考信号，作用是进行AGC，时频同步和CSI测量。在每个固定帧的SCS符号部分，各个LAA接入点都可以进行如此发送，而不需要执行LBT/CCA机制。在竞争到非授权载波后，竞争到资源的LAA接入点可以迅速发送业务，而不需要再花费大量的时间进行AGC、粗同步、精同步和CSI测量等相关步骤，提高了LAA利用非授权载波发送业务的频谱效率。
需要说明的是，上述例子仅是本发明的一个示例，在实际应用中，帧格式中的SCS符号、CCA符号、载波占用期、载波空闲期、固定帧等等占用时长和具体位置都有多种可能，但是至少需要包括SCS部分。
另外，目前对于LAA利用非授权频谱的方式有频谱聚合补充下行链路(CA SDL，Carrier Aggregation Supplemental DownLink，)、频谱聚合下行和上行(CA DL+UL，Carrier Aggregation Downlink and Uplink)、独立部署(Standalone)。其中SDL和DL+UL是目前的主流方式。因此针对纯下行发送和类似TDD方式的发送，帧格式中的SCS符号、CCA符号、载波占 用期、载波空闲期、固定帧等等占用时长和具体位置都有多种可能。例如基于类似TDD方式，SCS符号可以与特殊子帧(DwPTS,GP，UpPTS)的结构相结合，进行设计。
c.修改用于精同步和CSI快速获取的信号如CRS和CSI-RS的RE格式，减少对时域的占用。
由于SCS时长有管制要求，一般在固定帧中用于SCS发送只能有几个符号。如果按照目前LTE标准的CRS和CSI-RS的时频格式，在几个符号内发送这两种参考信号可能比较困难，例如在1个或2个SCS符号内不能发送目前时频格式的CRS和CSI-RS。
有两种解决方案：第一种是设计适当数量的SCS符号，缺点是受到管制要求的限制。第二种是修改参考信号的现有格式，或重新设计一种用于精同步和测量的参考信号。
例如，如果需要在4个SCS符号内发送CRS和CSI-RS，需要对CRS和CSI-RS的时频格式进行修改，每个子帧中，CRS出现的符号为：符号0、符号4、符号7、符号11。可以修改为符号0和符号3按照之前符号0和符号4的方式发送CRS。CSI-RS的RE可设计在第一个时隙中的符号1和符号2。
上述各模块可以由电子设备中的中央处理器(CPU，Central Processing Unit)、数字信号处理器(DSP，Digital Signal Processor)或可编程逻辑阵列(FPGA，Field－Programmable Gate Array)实现。
