背景技术
在无线通信系统中，为了在保证传输可靠性的前提下提升传输效率，网络设备通常会估计用于传输信号的无线信道的质量，并根据无线信道的质量确定调度方案。在目前的无线通信系统中，通常会借助传输探测参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal，简称为“SRS”)来获取无线信道的质量信息。网络设备向终端设备发送SRS的配置参数，该终端设备在收到该SRS的配置参数之后，就根据该配置参数发送该SRS，从而网络设备就可以通过测量该终端设备发送的该SRS而获取上行信道的质量，并确定最终的上行调度方案。特别地，在时分双工(Time Division Duplex,简称为“TDD”)系统中，由于上下行信道具有互易性，因此，网络设备可通过测量该终端设备发送的该SRS获取下行信道，并辅助下行业务传输。
在现有技术中，SRS都是采用单天线端口全向发送的，这种发送方式没有方向性，不但限制了SRS的覆盖性能，而且会引起相邻小区之间的干扰。
发明内容
有鉴于此，本发明实施例提供了一种探测参考信号的发送方法和装置，能够有效增强探测参考信号SRS的覆盖性能，并降低相邻小区之间的干扰。
第一方面，提供了一种探测参考信号的发送方法，包括：网络设备确定第一探测参考信号的配置信息，该第一探测参考信号的配置信息包括该第一探测参考信号的波束配置参数，该第一探测参考信号的波束配置参数用于指示终端设备采用第一波束发送该第一探测参考信号；该网络设备向该终端设备发送该第一探测参考信号的配置信息。
因此，本发明实施例的探测参考信号的发送方法，通过网络设备向终端设备发送包括第一探测参考信号的波束相关参数的配置信息，使该终端设备直接根据该配置信息采用第一波束发送该第一探测参考信号，实现基于波束 赋形的方式发送该第一探测参考信号，能够有效增强探测参考信号的覆盖性能，并降低相邻小区之间的干扰，从而提高用户体验。
应理解，一个探测参考信号对应一个波束，从而对应一个配置信息，且该网络设备发送探测参考信号的配置信息是为了对终端设备发送的探测参考信号进行配置，并根据该终端设备发送的探测参考信号来测量对应的信道质量，该网络设备除了向该终端设备发送第一探测参考信号的配置信息之外，还可以向该终端设备发送其他探测参考信号的配置信息，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
此外，除了探测参考信号之外，本发明实施例还可以应用于其他参考信号的发送，例如解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal，简称为“DMRS”)，或未来通信系统中可能出现的用于对信道进行测量的其他参考信号，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
在第一方面的第一种可能的实现方式中，该网络设备向该终端设备发送至少一个第二探测参考信号中每个第二探测参考信号的配置信息，该每个第二探测参考信号的配置信息分别包括该每个第二探测参考信号的波束配置参数，该每个第二探测参考信号的波束配置参数分别用于指示该终端设备采用与该每个第二探测参考信号对应的第二波束发送该每个第二探测参考信号，该至少一个第二探测参考信号与至少一个该第二波束一一对应。
具体地，该网络设备可以向该终端设备发送多个探测参考信号中每个探测参考信号的配置参数，对每个探测参考信号进行配置。这种方式下，每个探测参考信号的配置参数都是网络设备确定并发送的，这样配置的发送波束具有灵活的发送方向。
结合第一方面的上述可能的实现方式，在第一方面的第二种可能的实现方式中，该网络设备向该终端设备发送波束图样的标识，该波束图样的标识用于指示该终端设备采用该波束图样中的至少一个第三波束发送至少一个第三探测参考信号，该至少一个第三探测参考信号与该至少一个第三波束一一对应。
具体地，该网络设备可以向该终端设备发送波束图样的标识，用于指示该终端设备采用该波束图样中的波束发送探测参考信号。应理解，网络设备与终端设备可以预先确定多个波束图样，以及该多个波束图样中每个波束图样所对应的波束图样的标识，在配置探测参考信号时，该网络设备可以直接 发送其中某个波束图样的标识，终端设备即可采用该标识对应的波束图样中的波束发送对应的探测参考信号。
这样，在系统需要配置多个探测参考信号的时候，网络设备仅需要向终端设备发送一个探测参考信号的配置信息和波束图样的标识，由终端设备根据波束图样的标识采用相同的配置信息对波束图样中的波束进行配置，能够有效降低配置探测参考信号的信令开销。
结合第一方面的上述可能的实现方式，在第一方面的第三种可能的实现方式中，该网络设备向该终端设备发送波束数指示信息，该波束数指示信息用于指示该终端设备所采用的该波束图样中该第三波束的数量。
具体地，该网络设备还可以向该终端设备发送波束数指示信息，用于指示本次发送所采用波束图样中的波束的数量。由于可能存在信道强相关的情况，因此要测量全部信道并不需要发送所有的波束，可以由网络设备决定需要发送的波束的数量，从而能够减少不必要的信令开销。
应理解，该波束数指示信息中所指示的数量可以是该终端设备在同一时域资源或频域资源下能发送的波束的最大个数，也可以是由网络设备根据实际网络情况或所需要测量的信道情况而确定的发送波束的个数，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
结合第一方面的上述可能的实现方式，在第一方面的第四种可能的实现方式中，在该网络设备确定第一探测参考信号的配置信息之前，该方法还包括：该网络设备根据该终端设备的移动方向，确定该第一波束。
结合第一方面的上述可能的实现方式，在第一方面的第五种可能的实现方式中，在该网络设备确定第一探测参考信号的配置信息之前，该方法还包括：该网络设备根据该终端设备的移动方向，确定该第一波束以及该波束图样的标识。
具体地，该网络设备可以基于该终端设备的移动方向，为该终端设备配置波束图样。例如，该终端设备的移动方向可以分为水平方向和垂直方向，水平方向可以理解为该终端设备在地面或者与地面平行的平面上移动，垂直方向可以理解为该终端设备在与地面垂直的平面上移动。对于一个终端设备而言，可以仅沿着水平方向移动，可以仅沿着垂直方向移动，也可以既沿着水平方向移动，又沿着垂直方向移动。因此，对于不同移动方向上的终端设备，可以配置不同的波束图样，这样能够提高探测参考信号的覆盖性能，并 减少终端设备的功耗。
结合第一方面的上述可能的实现方式，在第一方面的第六种可能的实现方式中，该第一探测参考信号的波束配置参数包括：该第一探测参考信号所占用的第一资源的标识和/或第一端口的标识，该第一资源和/或该第一端口对应该第一波束。
应理解，这里的资源是时频资源，可以为物理资源块(Physical Resource Block，简称为“PRB”)中的具体时频资源。终端设备可以采用一个物理资源块发送多个波束，因此，需要将每个物理资源块中的时频资源进行标识，实现资源与波束的一一对应。此外，端口与波束也是一一对应的，例如，终端设备采用第一资源发送第一探测参考信号，即可形成第一波束，从而对应第一端口。
结合第一方面的上述可能的实现方式，在第一方面的第七种可能的实现方式中，该第一探测参考信号的波束配置参数还包括：该第一探测参考信号的预编码码本的标识。
结合第一方面的上述可能的实现方式，在第一方面的第八种可能的实现方式中，该第一探测参考信号的配置信息还包括：该第一探测参考信号的频域配置参数和/或该第一探测参考信号的时域配置参数，其中，该第一探测参考信号的频域配置参数包括该第一探测参考信号的频域起始位置、在频域上相邻的探测参考信号之间的频域偏移量和该第一探测参考信号的频域占用带宽中的至少一个，该第一探测参考信号的时域配置参数包括该第一探测参考信号的时域起始位置、在时域上相邻的探测参考信号之间的时域偏移量和该第一探测参考信号的发送周期中的至少一个。
应理解，这里的频域起始位置和/或时域起始位置用于配置终端设备在发送第一探测参考信号时所采用的资源块，其中，时域起始位置可以为时域起始子帧或符号标识。频域偏移量和/或时域偏移量用于配置终端设备在获取了波束图样后，发送其他波束所采用的资源块，用于表示在频域上和/或时域上相邻探测参考信号之间的偏移量。
基于网络设备不同的配置，该终端设备可以采用时分方式发送探测参考信号，可以采用频分方式发送探测参考信号，也可以采用时分与频分混合的方式发送探测参考信号。
结合第一方面的上述可能的实现方式，在第一方面的第九种可能的实现 方式中，该第一探测参考信号的配置信息还包括：该第一探测参考信号所采用的天线面板的标识。
第二方面，提供了另一种探测参考信号的发送方法，包括：终端设备接收网络设备发送的第一探测参考信号的配置信息，该第一探测参考信号的配置信息包括该第一探测参考信号的波束配置参数，该第一探测参考信号的波束配置参数用于指示终端设备采用第一波束发送该第一探测参考信号；该终端设备根据该第一探测参考信号的配置信息，采用该第一波束发送该第一探测参考信号。
因此，本发明实施例的探测参考信号的发送方法，通过网络设备向终端设备发送包括第一探测参考信号的波束相关参数的配置信息，使该终端设备直接根据该配置信息采用第一波束发送该第一探测参考信号，实现基于波束赋形的方式发送该第一探测参考信号，能够有效增强探测参考信号的覆盖性能，并降低相邻小区之间的干扰，从而提高用户体验。
在第二方面的第一种可能的实现方式中，该方法还包括：该终端设备接收该网络设备发送的至少一个第二探测参考信号中每个第二探测参考信号的配置信息，该每个第二探测参考信号的配置信息分别包括该每个第二探测参考信号的波束配置参数，该每个第二探测参考信号的波束配置参数分别用于指示该终端设备采用与该每个第二探测参考信号对应的第二波束发送该每个第二探测参考信号，该至少一个第二探测参考信号与至少一个该第二波束一一对应；该终端设备根据该每个第二探测参考信号的配置信息，采用该至少一个该第二波束发送该至少一个第二探测参考信号。

结合第二方面的上述可能的实现方式，在第二方面的第三种可能的实现方式中，在该终端设备根据该第一探测参考信号的配置信息，采用该至少一个第三波束发送该至少一个第三探测参考信号之前，该方法还包括：该终端 设备接收该网络设备发送的波束数指示信息，该波束数指示信息用于指示该终端设备所采用的该波束图样中该第三波束的数量；该终端设备根据该第一探测参考信号的配置信息，采用该至少一个第三波束发送该至少一个第三探测参考信号，包括：该终端设备根据该第一探测参考信号的配置信息以及该波束数指示信息，采用与该数量的该第三波束发送该数量的该第三探测参考信号。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图，对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例是本发明的一部分实施例，而不是全部实施例。基于本发明中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都应属于本发明保护的范围。
应理解，本发明实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统，例如：全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile communication，GSM)系统、码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access，CDMA)系统、宽带码分多址(Wideband  Code Division Multiple Access，WCDMA)系统、通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service，GPRS)、长期演进(Long Term Evolution，LTE)系统、LTE频分双工(Frequency Division Duplex，FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(Time Division Duplex，TDD)、通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System，UMTS)、全球互联微波接入(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access，WiMAX)通信系统、以及未来的5G通信系统等。
图1示出了本发明实施例应用的通信系统100。该通信系统100可以包括至少一个网络设备110。网络设备100可以是与终端设备通信的设备，如基站或基站控制器等。每个网络设备100可以为特定的地理区域提供通信覆盖，并且可以与位于该覆盖区域(小区)内的终端设备(例如UE)进行通信。该网络设备100可以是GSM系统或码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access，简称为“CDMA”)系统中的基站(Base Transceiver Station，简称为“BTS”)，也可以是WCDMA系统中的基站(NodeB，简称为“NB”)，还可以是LTE系统中的演进型基站(Evolutional Node B，简称为“eNB”或“eNodeB”)，或者是云无线接入网络(Cloud Radio Access Network，简称为“CRAN”)中的无线控制器，或者该网络设备可以为中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备、未来5G网络中的网络侧设备或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network，简称为“PLMN”)中的网络设备等。
该无线通信系统100还包括位于网络设备110覆盖范围内的多个终端设备120。该终端设备120可以是移动的或固定的。该终端设备120可以指接入终端、用户设备(User Equipment，简称为“UE”)、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。接入终端可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(Session Initiation Protocol，简称为“SIP”)电话、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop，简称为“WLL”)站、个人数字处理(Personal Digital Assistant，简称为“PDA”)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、未来5G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network，简称为“PLMN”)中的终端设备等。
图1示例性地示出了一个网络设备和两个终端设备，可选地，该通信系 统100可以包括多个网络设备并且每个网络设备的覆盖范围内可以包括其它数量的终端设备，本发明实施例对此不做限定。
可选地，该无线通信系统100还可以包括网络控制器、移动管理实体等其他网络实体，本发明实施例不限于此。
随着通信技术的发展，通信系统对数据传输速率和系统带宽要求越来越高，网络设备侧和终端设备侧部署的天线数将会越来越多。随着系统频率的增大，波长将会变短，天线的尺寸将会更小，使得终端设备侧多天线的大规模商用成为可能。在网络设备和终端设备均采用多天线的情况下，对于探测参考信号的接收和发送将可以采用基于波束赋形的方式，从而保证上行覆盖性能、小区平均吞吐量和边缘用户速率等参数的显著提高。
图2示出了本发明实施例的探测参考信号的发送方法200的示意性流程图，该方法200可以应用于图1所示的通信系统100，但本发明实施例不限于此。
S210，网络设备确定第一探测参考信号的配置信息，该第一探测参考信号的配置信息包括该第一探测参考信号的波束配置参数，该第一探测参考信号的波束配置参数用于指示该终端设备采用第一波束发送该第一探测参考信号；
S220，该网络设备向该终端设备发送该第一探测参考信号的配置信息；
S230，该终端设备接收该网络设备发送的第一探测参考信号的配置信息，并根据该配置信息发送该第一探测参考信号。
具体地，网络设备可以向终端设备发送第一探测参考信号的配置信息，该配置信息包括波束配置参数，用于指示该终端设备采用波束赋形的方式发送该第一探测参考信号。一个探测参考信号对应一个配置信息，用于终端设备根据该配置信息进行配置，从而在对应的波束上发送对应的探测参考信号。
在无线通信系统中，为了在保证传输可靠性的前提下提升传输效率，网络设备通常会估计用于传输信号的无线信道的质量，并根据无线信道的质量确定调度方案。如果估计的无线信道质量较好，则采用传输效率较高的调度方案；如果估计的无线信道质量较差，则采用传输效率较低但通常可靠性较高的调度方案。在目前的无线通信系统中，通常会借助参考信号的传输来获取无线信道的质量信息。例如，在LTE系统的上行传输过程中，网络设备向 终端设备发送探测参考信号的配置参数；该终端设备收到该探测参考信号的配置参数之后，就根据该配置参数发送该探测参考信号；从而网络设备就可以通过测量该终端设备发送的该探测参考信号而获取上行信道的质量，并确定最终的上行调度方案。特别地，在TDD系统中，由于上下行信道具有互易性，网络设备还可以通过测量该终端设备发送的该探测参考信号而获取下行信道状态信息，并辅助下行数据传输。但是，在现有技术中，探测参考信号都是采用单天线端口全向发送的，这种发送方式没有方向性，不但限制了探测参考信号的覆盖性能，而且会引起相邻小区之间的干扰。
因此，本发明实施例的探测参考信号的发送方法，通过网络设备向终端设备发送包括第一探测参考信号的波束相关参数的配置信息，使该终端设备直接根据该配置信息采用第一波束发送该第一探测参考信号，实现基于波束赋形的方式发送该第一探测参考信号，能够有效增强探测参考信号的覆盖性能，并降低相邻小区之间的干扰，从而提高用户体验。
应理解，该网络设备发送探测参考信号的配置信息是为了对终端设备发送的探测参考信号进行配置，并根据该终端设备发送的探测参考信号来测量对应的信道质量，该网络设备除了向该终端设备发送第一探测参考信号的配置信息之外，还可以向该终端设备发送其他探测参考信号的配置信息，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
此外，应理解，除了探测参考信号之外，本发明实施例还可以应用于其他参考信号的发送，例如解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal，简称为“DMRS”)，或未来通信系统中可能出现的用于对信道进行测量的其他参考信号，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
作为一个可选的实施例，该方法还包括：
该网络设备向该终端设备发送至少一个第二探测参考信号中每个第二探测参考信号的配置信息，该每个第二探测参考信号的配置信息分别包括该每个第二探测参考信号的波束配置参数，该每个第二探测参考信号的波束配置参数分别用于指示该终端设备采用与该每个第二探测参考信号对应的第二波束发送该每个第二探测参考信号，该至少一个第二探测参考信号与至少一个该第二波束一一对应；
该终端设备接收该网络设备发送的至少一个第二探测参考信号中每个第二探测参考信号的配置信息，并根据该每个第二探测参考信号的配置信 息，采用该至少一个该第二波束发送该至少一个第二探测参考信号。
具体地，该网络设备可以向该终端设备发送多个探测参考信号中每个探测参考信号的配置参数，对每个探测参考信号进行配置。这种方式下，每个探测参考信号的配置参数都是网络设备确定并发送的，这样配置的发送波束具有灵活的发送方向。
作为一个可选的实施例，该方法还包括：
该网络设备向该终端设备发送波束图样的标识，该波束图样的标识用于指示该终端设备采用该波束图样中的至少一个第三波束发送至少一个第三探测参考信号，该至少一个第三探测参考信号与该至少一个第三波束一一对应；
该终端设备接收该网络设备发送的波束图样的标识，并根据该波束图样的标识，确定该至少一个第三波束；
该终端设备根据该第一探测参考信号的配置信息，采用该至少一个第三波束发送该至少一个第三探测参考信号。
具体地，该网络设备可以向该终端设备发送波束图样的标识，用于指示该终端设备采用该波束图样中的波束发送探测参考信号。应理解，网络设备与终端设备可以预先确定多个波束图样，以及该多个波束图样中每个波束图样所对应的波束图样的标识，在配置探测参考信号时，该网络设备可以直接发送其中某个波束图样的标识，终端设备即可采用该标识对应的波束图样中的波束发送对应的探测参考信号。例如，在一种具体实现中，该波束图样的标识如下表所示。
波束图样的标识 波束间距
0 (dH,0)
1 (0,dV)
2 (dH,dV)
… …
在具体的实现中，网络设备可以基于终端设备的移动方向，为该终端设备配置波束图样。例如，该终端设备的移动方向可以分为水平方向和垂直方向，水平方向可以理解为该终端设备在地面或者与地面平行的平面上移动，垂直方向可以理解为该终端设备在与地面垂直的平面上移动。对于一个终端设备而言，可以仅沿着水平方向移动，可以仅沿着垂直方向移动，也可以既 沿着水平方向移动，又沿着垂直方向移动。如上表所示，若终端设备沿着水平方向移动，该网络设备可以发送标识为0的波束图样，即为该终端设备配置波束间距为(dH,0)的波束。若该终端设备沿着垂直方向移动，该网络设备可以发送标识为1的波束图样，即为该终端设备配置波束间距为(0,dV)的波束。若该终端设备沿着水平方向和垂直方向同时移动，该网络设备可以发送标识为2的波束图样，即为该终端设备配置波束间距为(dH,dV)的波束。应理解，波束图样还可以采用其他方式来标识，例如二进制比特串、或其他字符，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
在本发明实施例中，该终端设备接收该波束图样的标识之后，可以根据该波束图样的标识，确定该波束图样中的至少一个第三波束，并采用第一探测参考信号的配置信息对至少一个第三探测参考信号进行配置，采用至少一个第三波束发送该至少一个第三探测参考信号。
这样，在系统需要配置多个探测参考信号的时候，网络设备仅需要向终端设备发送一个探测参考信号的配置信息和波束图样的标识，由终端设备根据波束图样的标识采用相同的配置信息对波束图样中的波束进行配置，能够有效降低配置探测参考信号的信令开销。
作为一个可选的实施例，该方法还包括：
该网络设备向该终端设备发送波束数指示信息，该波束数指示信息用于指示该终端设备所采用的该波束图样中该第三波束的数量；
该终端设备根据该第一探测参考信号的配置信息，采用该至少一个第三波束发送该至少一个第三探测参考信号，包括：
该终端设备接收该网络设备发送的该波束数指示信息，并根据该第一探测参考信号的配置信息以及该波束数指示信息，采用与该数量的该第三波束发送该数量的该第三探测参考信号。
具体地，该网络设备还可以向该终端设备发送波束数指示信息，用于指示本次发送所采用波束图样中的波束的数量。由于可能存在信道强相关的情况，因此要测量全部信道并不需要发送所有的波束，可以由网络设备决定需要发送的波束的数量，从而能够减少不必要的信令开销。
应理解，该波束数指示信息中所指示的数量可以是该终端设备在同一时域资源或频域资源下能发送的波束的最大个数，也可以是由网络设备根据实际网络情况或所需要测量的信道情况而确定的发送波束的个数，本发明实施 例对此不作限定。
图3示出了本发明实施例提供的探测参考信号的发送方法的波束示意图。在图3中，网络设备和终端设备均采用多天线，因此探测参考信号的收发均采用波束赋形技术，在初始上下行同步建立之后，网络设备就可以确定发送波束与最佳接收波束之间的对应关系。因此，该网络设备通过配置信息指示该终端设备在至少一个发送波束上发送探测参考信号，该网络设备即可以在与该至少一个发送波束对应的最佳接收波束上接收该探测参考信号。以图3为例，终端设备采用波束2和3发送探测参考信号，则网络设备可以采用最佳接收波束4接收该探测参考信号。
作为一个可选的实施例，该第一探测参考信号的波束配置参数包括：该第一探测参考信号所占用的第一资源的标识和/或第一端口的标识，该第一资源和/或该第一端口对应该第一波束；
该终端设备根据该第一探测参考信号的配置信息，采用该第一波束发送该第一探测参考信号，包括：
该终端设备根据该第一资源的标识和/或该第一端口的标识，采用该第一资源和/或该第一端口，发送该第一探测参考信号。
具体地，该网络设备向该终端设备发送的波束配置参数中可以包括该第一探测参考信号所占用的第一资源的标识和/或第一端口的标识，这样，该终端设备就可以采用第一资源和/或第一端口发送该第一探测参考信号。
应理解，这里的资源是时频资源，可以为物理资源块(Physical Resource Block，简称为“PRB”)中的具体时频资源。PRB对应的是频域上若干个连续的载波，时域上是一个时隙的资源。终端设备可以采用一个物理资源块发送多个波束，因此，需要将每个物理资源块中的时频资源进行标识，实现资源与波束的一一对应。
此外，端口与波束也是一一对应的，例如，终端设备采用第一资源发送第一探测参考信号，即可形成第一波束，从而对应第一端口。还应理解，天线端口是一个逻辑上的概念，它与物理天线并没有一一对应的关系。天线端口与探测参考信号是一一对应的关系，如果通过多个物理天线来传输同一个探测参考信号，那么这些物理天线就对应同一个天线端口；而如果有两个不同的探测参考信号是从同一个物理天线中传输的，那么这个物理天线就对应两个独立的天线端口。
图4示出了本发明实施例提供的占用不同资源发送探测参考信号的示意图。在图4中，网络设备指示终端设备占用资源0发送第一探测参考信号，占用资源1发送第二探测参考信号，占用资源2发送第三探测参考信号。因此，第一探测参考信号的配置信息中资源标识为0，第二探测参考信号的配置信息中资源标识为1，第三探测参考信号的配置信息中资源标识为2。应理解，这仅仅是一种具体实现方式，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
图5示出了本发明实施例提供的占用不同端口发送探测参考信号的示意图。在图5中，网络设备可以指示该终端设备占用端口0、端口1、端口2分别发送第一探测参考信号、第二探测参考信号以及第三探测参考信号。因此，第一探测参考信号的配置信息中端口标识为0，第二探测参考信号的配置信息中端口标识为1，第三探测参考信号的配置信息中端口标识为2。应理解，这仅仅是一种具体实现方式，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
作为一个可选的实施例，该第一探测参考信号的波束配置参数还包括：该第一探测参考信号的预编码码本的标识；
该终端设备根据该第一探测参考信号的配置信息，采用该第一波束发送该第一探测参考信号，包括：
该终端设备根据该预编码码本的标识，采用该预编码码本对该第一探测参考信号进行编码，并采用该第一波束发送编码后的该第一探测参考信号。
具体地，应理解，预编码的目的是降低接收端消除信道间影响实现的复杂度，同时减少系统开销，最大提升系统的容量。当然，消除多个信道间的影响，可以在接收端侧实现，也可以通过改变发射端的发射方式，对发射信号进行预处理，辅助接收端消除信道间的影响，这种发射方式的改变就是通过预编码实现的。具体地，发射端可以有M根发射天线，接收端有N根接收天线，发射天线与接收天线之间信道可以用信道矩阵来表示。此外，预编码矩阵需要一个码本作为预编码矩阵，这个码本是由使得系统某一性能最优的预编码算法根据接收端估计的信道信息从协议规定的多个码本组成的码本集合中选择的。在接收端和发送端可以共享同一个已知码本集合，该码本集合包含多个预编码矩阵，接收端根据信道估计的信道矩阵以某一性能目标在该码本集合中选择使系统性能最优的预编码矩阵，再将其码本标识反馈给发送端，发送端可以根据该码本标识选择预编码矩阵进行预编码。采用这种方式仅仅需要发送预编码矩阵的码本标识，大大减少了信令开销，节约了带 宽，方便实际操作。
作为一个可选的实施例，该第一探测参考信号的配置信息还包括：该第一探测参考信号的频域配置参数和/或该第一探测参考信号的时域配置参数，其中，该第一探测参考信号的频域配置参数包括该第一探测参考信号的频域起始位置、在频域上相邻的探测参考信号之间的频域偏移量和该第一探测参考信号的频域占用带宽中的至少一个，该第一探测参考信号的时域配置参数包括该第一探测参考信号的时域起始位置、在时域上相邻的探测参考信号之间的时域偏移量和该第一探测参考信号的发送周期中的至少一个。
应理解，这里的频域起始位置和/或时域起始位置用于配置终端设备在发送第一探测参考信号时所采用的资源块，其中，时域起始位置可以为时域起始子帧或符号标识。上述频域起始位置和/或时域起始位置为真实发送探测参考信号的资源块的位置，在一种具体实现方式中，该频域起始位置可以由该网络设备指示的频域起始位置与一个频域偏移量计算得到，该时域起始位置可以由该网络设备指示的时域起始位置与一个时域偏移量计算得到，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
此外，频域偏移量和/或时域偏移量用于配置终端设备在获取了波束图样后，发送其他波束所采用的资源块，用于表示在频域上和/或时域上相邻探测参考信号之间的偏移量。
基于网络设备不同的配置，该终端设备可以采用时分方式发送探测参考信号，可以采用频分方式发送探测参考信号，也可以采用时分与频分混合的方式发送探测参考信号。
在一个具体地实施例中，若信道的秩信息为8，终端设备每一个探测参考信号的发送方向代表一维的秩信息，那么为了获取全部信道的信息，网络设备需要配置终端设备在8个方向上分别发送8个探测参考信号。具体地，在终端设备发送探测参考信号的时候，可以根据网络设备的指示采用如下三种方式。
图6示出了本发明实施例采用时分方式发送探测参考信号的示意图。根据网络设备的配置，在t0时刻，终端设备采用波束0和波束1发送两个探测参考信号，在t0+Toffset时刻，该终端设备采用波束2和波束3发送两个探测参考信号，在t0+2Toffset时刻，该终端设备采用波束4和波束5发送两个探测参考信号，在t0+3Toffset时刻，该终端设备采用波束6和波束7发送两个探测参 考信号，这里Toffset为网络设备为终端设备配置的时域偏移量。即在时分发送方式下，上述8个探测参考信号可以分别占用不同的时域资源，但占用相同的频域资源。
图7示出了本发明实施例采用频分方式发送探测参考信号的示意图。根据网络设备的配置，在频率为f0的频域资源下，终端设备采用波束0和波束1发送两个探测参考信号，在频率为f0+Foffset的频域资源下，该终端设备采用波束2和波束3发送两个探测参考信号，在频率为f0+2Foffset的频域资源下，该终端设备采用波束4和波束5发送两个探测参考信号，在频率为f0+3Foffset的频域资源下，该终端设备采用波束6和波束7发送两个探测参考信号，这里Foffset为网络设备为终端设备配置的频域偏移量。即在频分发送方式下，上述8个探测参考信号可以分别占用不同的频域资源，但占用相同的时域资源。
图8示出了本发明实施例采用时分与频分混合的方式发送探测参考信号的示意图。根据网络设备的配置，在t0时刻，终端设备采用波束0、波束1、波束4和波束5发送四个探测参考信号，其中，在频率为f0的频域资源下，终端设备采用波束0和波束1发送两个探测参考信号，在频率为f0+2Foffset的频域资源下，该终端设备采用波束4和波束5发送另两个探测参考信号。在t0+Toffset时刻，终端设备采用波束2、波束3、波束6和波束7发送四个探测参考信号，其中，在频率为f0+Foffset的频域资源下，终端设备采用波束2和波束3发送两个探测参考信号，在频率为f0+3Foffset的频域资源下，该终端设备采用波束6和波束7发送另两个探测参考信号。即在时分与频分混合的发送方式下，上述8个探测参考信号可以分别占用不同的频域资源和不同的时域资源。应理解，上述对时频资源的占用方式仅仅为示例性说明，本发明实施例并不限于此。
应理解，对于上述三种发送方式，发送波束数为2，该发送波束数可以由终端设备根据自身能力确定，也可以是网络设备配置给该终端设备的，若在网络设备没有向该终端设备配置该发送波束数，且该终端设备的能力足以在同一时频资源上发送完所有的波束的情况下，该终端设备可以直接采用上述波束0至波束7发送8个探测参考信号，从而测量完全部信道的质量，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
作为一个可选的实施例，该第一探测参考信号的配置信息还包括：该第一探测参考信号所采用的天线面板的标识；
该终端设备根据该第一探测参考信号的配置信息，采用该第一波束发送该第一探测参考信号，包括：
该终端设备根据该天线面板的标识以及该第一探测参考信号的配置信息，采用该天线面板以及该第一波束发送该第一探测参考信号。
具体地，网络设备与终端设备可以提前约定好至少一个天线面板以及每个天线面板的标识。在网络设备发送探测参考信号的配置信息时，可以将天线面板的标识发送给终端设备，用于指示该终端设备发送探测参考信号时具体所采用的天线面板。图9示出了天线面板的示意图。如图9所示，假设存在4个天线面板，该4个天线面板的标识分别为0、1、2、3。因此，该网络设备只需要将天线面板的标识发送给终端设备，该终端设备就可以采用对应的天线面板上的天线进行探测参考信号的发送。
应理解，上述各过程的序号的大小并不意味着执行顺序的先后，各过程的执行顺序应以其功能和内在逻辑确定，而不应对本发明实施例的实施过程构成任何限定。
