Description

训练波束的方法、发起设备和响应设备 技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域，尤其涉及训练波束的方法、发起设备和响应设备。
背景技术
在高频通信中，特别是毫米波频段，发射信号的衰减远远大于在较低频率(6GHz)的情况。为了抵抗较高的信号衰减，通常采用波束赋形的方式发送信号。当波束宽带足够窄的时候，使得发送信号和接收信号端可以达到一定的通信距离和传输速率。但是当波束太窄的时候，接收端和发送端互相发现会十分困难；而波束太宽时，天线增益不高，不能获得理想的传输速率。因此在国际电工电子工程学会(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers，IEEE)802.11ad的标准中设计了基于波束赋形的传输，并且定义了用于一对站点(Station，STA)之间达到必要的方向多吉比特(directional multi-gigabit，DMG)后续的通信的链路预算的一种机制，该机制包括扇区级扫描(Sector-Level Sweep,SLS)阶段和波束优化协议(Beam Refinement Protocol,BRP)阶段，其中，发起波束训练的STA可以称为发起设备，而响应发起设备的对端STA称为响应设备。
具体地，SLS阶段是为发起设备和响应设备建立通信的基本通道，发起设备可以获得发送到响应设备的最优发射扇区，而响应设备也可以获得发送到发起设备的最优发射扇区，也就是说可以选择出双方的最优发射波束，并利用发送波束的增益。
在BRP阶段，发起设备和响应设备通过发送波束优化协议帧(BRP frame)，确定波束优化参数，并且根据波束优化参数发送后缀了训练字段的波束优化协议包(BRP packet)进行波束优化。
在IEEE 802.11ad中已经考虑收发设备具有多个天线的问题，但收发机仅有一个接收链路和一个发射频链，也就是802.11ad中仅支持单用户的单天线的波束训练。而目前IEEE 802.11ay考虑将IEEE 802.11ad的标准演进到支持多个收发射频链的场景中，即多输入多输出(Multiple Input Multiple Output，MIMO)场景，因此，在IEEE 802.11ad框架下如何实现支持MIMO的波束训练过程成为亟待解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请提供了一种训练波束的方法和装置，能够应用于MIMO场景中的波束对训练过程。
第一方面，提供了一种单用户多入多出SU-MIMO技术中训练波束的方法，该方法包括：发起设备向响应设备发送N个第一波束帧，该N个第一波束帧的个数由该发起设备根据该发起设备的发射扇区总数、以及该响应设备的接收射频通道数和接收天线数确定，该N个第一波束帧中第i个第一波束帧包括发送该第i个第一波束帧的发射天线的标识和发射扇区的标识，该N个第一波束帧用于该响应设备确定该发起设备的发射天线的扇区的质量，该N个第一波束帧为波束扫描SSW帧、短波束扫描SSSW包或信标beacon帧，N为大于1的正整数，i＝1、2、3……N；
该发起设备接收该响应设备发送的M个第二波束帧，该M个第二波束帧的个数由该响应设备根据该响应设备的至少一个发射天线的发射扇区的个数、以及该发起设备的接收射频通道数和接收天线数确定，该M个第二波束帧中的第j个第二波束帧包括发送该第j个第二波束帧的发射天线的标识和发射扇区的标识、以及该响应设备根据该N个第一波束帧确定的该发起设备的最优发射扇区的标识和该最优发射扇区所在天线的标识，该M个第二波束帧为SSW帧或SSSW包，M为大于1的正整数，j＝1、2、3……M；
该发起设备根据该M个第二波束帧，确定该响应设备的发射天线的扇区的质量，并获取该发起设备的最优发射扇区；
该发起设备通过该发起设备的最优发射扇区向该响应设备发送第一反馈信息，该第一反馈信息用于指示该发起设备根据该M个第二波束帧确定的该响应设备的至少一个优选发射天线的至少一个优选发射扇区；
该发起设备接收该响应设备通过该响应设备的最优发射扇区发送的第二反馈信息，该第二反馈信息用于指示该发起设备的多个优选发射天线的多个优选发射扇区，该发起设备的多个优选发射天线的个数等于该发起设备的发射射频通道的个数。
因此，本申请实施例的单用户多入多出SU-MIMO技术中训练波束的方法，针对SU-MIMO的应用场景，通过发起设备和响应设备分别发送的波束帧，对发起设备和响应设备的发射扇区进行训练，可以获得发起设备和响应 设备的多个发射扇区，从而实现发起设备和响应设备具有多个发射射频通道时的波束训练过程。
应理解，在发起设备向响应设备发送N个第一波束帧之前，该发起设备获取该响应设备的接收射频通道数和接收天线数。发起设备根据自身的发射天线的个数和每个发射天线包括的发射扇区的个数，确定自身发射扇区的总数，再根据获取得到响应设备的接收射频通道数和接收天线数，确定响应设备的接收天线数除以响应设备的接收射频通道数的商，该商值可以称为第一商值，则N个第一波束帧的个数等于发起设备的发射扇区总数乘以该第一商值。
可选地，当响应设备的接收天线数等于接收射频通道数时，则该发起设备确定的N个第一波束帧的个数等于该发起设备的自身发射扇区的总数。
可选地，发起设备可以向响应设备逐个发送该N个第一波束帧中的每个第一波束帧。具体地，发起设备通过自身的多个发射扇区中的每个发射扇区，向响应设备逐个发送N个第一波束帧中的每个第一波束帧，即发起设备每次只通过一个发射扇区发送一个第一波束帧，而不同时通过多个发射扇区发送多个第一波束帧，该第一波束帧包括发送该第一波束帧的发射扇区的标识，以及该发射扇区所在天线的标识。对应地，响应设备可以采用准全向的方式，采用多个射频通道同时接收发起设备发送的第一波束帧。
同样地，在确定M个第二波束帧之前，响应设备获取发起设备的接收射频通道数和接收天线数。响应设备确定自身的发射天线的发射扇区的总个数，再确定发起设备的接收天线的个数和接收射频通道个数的商值，则M个第二波束帧的个数等于响应设备的发射扇区总数乘以该商值。
可选地，由于响应设备可以根据N个第一波束帧，确定自身的接收扇区的质量，则响应设备可以确定与接收射频通道数相等的优选接收天线个数，若天线满足天线互易性，优选发射天线即为优选接收天线，则响应设备的发射射频通道数等于发射天线数，即响应设备的发射扇区总数等于优选接收天线个数乘以每个天线的扇区个数。
可选地，当发起设备的接收天线数等于接收射频通道数时，则该响应设备确定的M个第二波束帧的个数等于该响应设备的自身发射扇区的总数。
可选地，响应设备可以向发起设备逐个发送该M个第二波束帧中的每个第二波束帧。具体地，响应设备通过自身的多个发射扇区中的每个发射扇 区，向发起设备逐个发送M个第二波束帧中的每个第二波束帧，即响应设备每次通过一个发射扇区发送一个第二波束帧，而不同时通过多个发射扇区发送多个第二波束帧，该第二波束帧包括发送该第二波束帧的发射扇区的标识以及该发射扇区所在天线的标识。对应地，发起设备可以采用准全向的方式，采用多个射频通道同时接收响应设备发送的第二波束帧。

下面将结合附图，对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行描述。
应理解，本发明实施例可以应用于无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Network，WLAN)，并且本发明实施例可以适用于WLAN当前采用的国际电工电子工程学会(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers，IEEE)802.11系列协议中的任意一种协议。WLAN可以包括一个或多个基本服务集(Basic Service Set，BSS)，基本服务集中的网络节点包括接入点(Access Point，AP)和站点(station，STA)。IEEE 802.11ad在原有的BSS基础上，引入个人基本服务集(Personal Basic Service Set，PBSS)和个人基本服务集控制节点(PBSS Control Point，PCP)。每个个人基本服务集可以包含一个AP/PCP和多个关联于该AP/PCP的站点。
具体地，本发明实施例中发起设备和响应设备可以是WLAN中用户站点(STA)，该用户站点也可以称为系统、用户单元、接入终端、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、用户装置或用户设备(User Equipment，UE)。该STA可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(Session Initiation Protocol，SIP)电话、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop，WLL)站、个人数字助理(Personal Digital Assistant，PDA)、具有无线局域网(例如Wi-Fi)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。
另外，本发明实施例中的发起设备和响应设备也可以是WLAN中AP/PCP，AP/PCP可用于与接入终端通过无线局域网进行通信，并将接入终端的数据传输至网络侧，或将来自网络侧的数据传输至接入终端。
图1示出了根据本发明实施例的应用场景的示意图。如图1所示的场景系统可以是WLAN系统，图1的WLAN系统可以包括一个或者多个AP/PCP和一个或者多个STA，图1以一个AP/PCP和三个STA为例。AP/PCP和STA之间可以通过各种标准进行无线通信。其中，AP/PCP和STA之间可以采用单用户多入多出(Single-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output，SU-MIMO)技术或多用户多入多出(Multi-Users Multiple-Input Multiple-Output，MU-MIMO)技术进行无线通信。
为了使得本发明实例的方案便于理解，在描述本发明实施例的训练波束的方法的实施例之前，首先对现有的802.11协议中的波束赋形训练过程进行介绍。
在IEEE 802.11ad标准的波束训练过程中，可以包括SLS阶段，还可以包括BRP阶段。
其中，在SLS阶段，可以具体分为发起设备扇区扫描(Initiator Sector Sweep，ISS)、响应设备扇区扫描(Responder Sector Sweep，RSS)、扇区扫描反馈(Sector Sweep Feedback，SSW-Feedback)和扇区扫描确认(Sector Sweep ACK，SSW-ACK)四个子阶段，从而建立发起设备和响应设备之间的基本链路。具体地，在ISS阶段，发起设备通过发送多个扇区扫描(Sector Sweep，SSW)帧，或者包含SSW字段的信标帧，进行发起设备的发射扇区或接收扇区的训练，即ISS阶段为发起设备的发射波束或接收波束训练过程。类似的，响应设备在RSS阶段通过发送SSW帧进行响应设备的发射波束或接收波束训练。SLS中通过SSW-Feedback阶段和SSW-ACK阶段对上述的ISS和RSS阶段的结果进行确认，并且确定是否要进行波束优化。
应理解，在SLS阶段中，发起设备或响应设备可以通过发送U个包含 SSW字段的帧实现U个波束训练。不同的SSW帧或Beacon帧之间的间隔可以为短波束帧间间隔(Short Beamforming Interframe Space，SBIFS)，或者也可以为长波束帧间间隔(Long Beamforming Interframe Space，LBIFS)。而且SLS阶段也是为发起设备和响应设备建立了通信的基本通道，发起设备可以获得发送到响应设备的最优发射扇区，而响应设备也可以获得发送到发起设备的最优发射扇区，也就是说可以选择出发射波束，并利用发送波束的增益。在SLS阶段中的ISS和RSS子阶段采用的传输格式都是传输效率比较低，但是特别鲁棒的传输模式，如MCS0或MCS1；而SSW-Feedback和SSW-Ack子阶段仅可以用MCS0进行传输。
而在BRP阶段，发起设备和接收者通过发送波束优化协议帧(BRP frame)，确定波束优化参数，并根据波束优化参数发送后缀了训练字段的波束优化协议包(BRP packet)进行波束优化。如果BRP frame携带信道测量反馈元素(Channel Measurement Feedback elements)，还可以收集到多个扇区的标识，以及信道测量等信息。其中BRP包，分为接收波束优化包(BRP-RX)和发射波束优化包(BRP-TX)两种类型，可以通过在数据包后缀训练字段实现对发射和接收波束的训练。而BRP阶段是通过一个数据帧携带K段训练字段实现的K个波束训练。由于节省了很多SSW帧间的间隔，因此BRP阶段的训练效率较高。
具体地，BRP阶段可以包括BRP setup建立阶段、多个扇区标识检测(Multiple sector ID Detection，MID)阶段以及波束组合(Beam combination，BC)阶段，另外还包括一系列的前面的子阶段，和一个包含有波束优化请求和波束优化响应的波束优化业务。具体地，对于MID阶段，发起设备可以获得响应设备反馈的在SLS阶段训练获得多个较好的发射扇区，例如，发起设备可以获取Nbeam(I,TX)个较好的发射扇区，则进一步训练响应设备的多个较好的接收扇区Nbeam(I,RX)。然后在BC阶段，发起设备发送Nbeam(I,TX)个BRP-RX包，每个包中包含Nbeam(I,RX)个接收(波束)训练(receive training，TRN-R)子字段，这样可以训练Nbeam(I,TX)*Nbeam(I,RX)个收发波束的组合。类似的，MID阶段和BC阶段同样可以训练响应设备的发射扇区到发起设备的接收扇区之间的收发波束组合。
在IEEE 802.11ad中，可以通过以上过程完成发起设备与响应设备之间的发射波束和接收波束的训练。
需要说明的是，在IEEE 802.11ad可以支持多个DMG接收天线或DMG发射天线，这里的每个天线实际上均是指天线阵，在本发明实施例中简称天线，例如，图2中给出了一种相控天线的天线阵，即一个相控天线阵对应即为一根天线。每个天线可以采用波束发射和接收信号，也可以采用准全向发射和接收信号，例如，图2中给出的发起设备的天线采用的波束发射和接收信号，而响应者采用的准全向发射和接收信号。应理解，在IEEE 802.11ad中，虽然发起设备和响应设备具有多个天线，但发起设备和响应设备都只支持单个射频通道(Radio Frequency，RF)，即仅有一个接收链路和一个发射频链。而目前IEEE 802.11ay考虑支持MIMO的应用场景时，例如，图3示出了支持MIMO的发起设备和响应设备的示意图，即发起设备和响应设备可以具有多个RF，例如，在图3中，发起设备和响应设备各具有两个RF。
因此，目前IEEE 802.11ay考虑支持MIMO的应用场景时，则不能完全按照上述过程进行波束训练，而本发明实施例提出了一种训练波束的方法，可以在复用现有过程的基础上，扩展应用于MIMO场景下，具体可以包括SU-MIMO以及MU-MIMO两种场景。
图4示出了根据本发明实施例的SU-MIMO技术中训练波束的方法100的示意性流程图，该方法100应用于SU-MIMO场景中，即针对单个发起设备与单个响应设备之间的波束训练。具体地，该方法100可以对应于现有技术中SLS阶段，如图4所示，该方法100具体包括：
S110，发起设备向响应设备发送N个第一波束帧，该N个第一波束帧的个数由该发起设备根据该发起设备的发射扇区总数、以及该响应设备的接收射频通道数和接收天线数确定，该N个第一波束帧中第i个第一波束帧包括发送该第i个第一波束帧的发射天线的标识和发射扇区的标识，该N个第一波束帧用于该响应设备确定该发起设备的发射天线的扇区的质量，该N个第一波束帧为波束扫描SSW帧、短波束扫描SSSW包或信标beacon帧，N为大于1的正整数，i＝1、2、3……N。
在本发明实施例中，该S110复用现有技术中SLS阶段中的ISS阶段，用于训练发起设备的发射扇区。该方法100中的发起设备可以指首先发起波束训练的设备，具体地，该发起设备可以为图1中的AP/PCP，或者，也可以为图中的STA；对应的响应设备指响应发起设备的对端，例如，当发起设备为如图1所示的AP/PCP时，响应设备可以为如图1所示的STA；当发起 设备为如图1所示的STA时，则响应设备可以为如图1所示的AP/PCP，或者也可以为图中的STA。
应理解，在发起设备向响应设备发送N个第一波束帧之前，该发起设备获取该响应设备的接收射频通道数。响应设备具有多个接收射频通道，多个接收射频通道可以同时进行接收，提高波束训练的效率。发起设备根据获取的响应设备的接收射频通道数确定N个第一波束帧的个数，即N的具体取值，节省用于波束训练的资源。
响应设备可以通过接收射频通道数量的字段指示接收射频通道数量。例如，通过2bit直接指示该响应设备的接收射频通道数；或者，通过1bit指示该响应设备的接收射频通道数为1或者接收射频通道数等于接收天线数目。可选地，发起设备获取响应设备的接收射频通道数，可以在初始阶段中通过接入时STA能力信息字段(STA Capability Information field)中保留比特携带接收射频通道数信息；也可以在波束控制字段(BF control)的保留比特中携带，本发明实施例并不限于此。
在本发明实施例中，现有技术中发起设备可以获得自身的发射扇区总数、响应设备的接收天线个数。对于支持MIMO的发起者和响应者之间的波束训练过程，发起设备根据自身的发射扇区总数、响应设备的接收射频通道数以及接收天线个数，确定N个第一波束帧的个数，即N的取值。具体地，发起设备根据自身的发射天线的个数和每个发射天线包括的发射扇区的个数，确定自身发射扇区的总数，再根据获取得到响应设备的接收射频通道数和接收天线数，确定响应设备的接收天线数除以响应设备的接收射频通道数的商，该商值可以称为第一商值，则N个第一波束帧的个数等于发起设备的发射扇区总数乘以该第一商值。可选地，当响应设备的接收天线数等于接收射频通道数时，则该发起设备确定的N个第一波束帧的个数等于该发起设备的自身发射扇区的总数。
例如，发起设备一共有3个发送天线，分别为天线0、1和2，其中天线0有4个扇区，而天线1有3个扇区，而天线2有5个扇区，而响应设备有2个接收天线，且有2个接收射频通道，那么发起设备确定的第一波束帧的个数N＝(4+3+5)*(2/2)＝12。由于响应者具有2个接收射频通道，发起设备确定的第一波束帧的个数N比SISO的情况(4+3+5)*(2)＝24节省了一半。
可选地，该N个第一波束帧可以复用IEEE 802.11ad中SSW帧的结构，或者还可以为信标(beacon)帧，或者采用更优的SSW帧结构，例如短波束扫描(Short Sector SWeep，SSSW)包，用于节省波束训练开销，本发明实施例并不限于此。而对于发起设备确定的N个第一波束帧的个数，也可以称为该发起设备的总扇区数，可以通过SSW帧或beacon帧中的SSW feedback字段中的总扇区(Total sectors)子字段的值表示。应理解，对于发起设备向响应设备发送的该N个第一波束帧，第i个第一波束帧包括发送该第i个第一波束帧的发射天线的标识以及发送该第一波束帧的发射扇区的标识，以使得响应设备可以根据接收到的第一波束帧中包括的标识信息确定对应的发起设备的发射扇区的质量。
可选地，发起设备可以向响应设备逐个发送该N个第一波束帧中的每个第一波束帧。具体地，发起设备通过自身的多个发射扇区中的每个发射扇区，向响应设备逐个发送N个第一波束帧中的每个第一波束帧，即发起设备每次只通过一个发射扇区发送一个第一波束帧，而不同时通过多个发射扇区发送多个第一波束帧，该第一波束帧包括发送该第一波束帧的发射扇区的标识，以及该发射扇区所在天线的标识。
由于该方法100针对SU-MIMO的场景，原则上发射天线可以被同时训练，但当发射天线的阵元数比较大时，作为接收机的响应设备的模拟到数字变换器(Analog to Digital Convertor，ADC)限制了接收机获得的动态范围。因此，可以通过接收机的动态范围，判断是否能够同时训练发起设备的多个发射天线。具体地，发起设备的发射扇区向响应设备的接收扇区发送信号，响应设备可以确定发射扇区发送的信号到接收扇区的信噪比(SignalLto Noise Ratio，SNR)，同时也可以根据响应设备的ADC确定响应设备的动态范围，当不同发射扇区的信号的SNR的差异值小于响应设备的动态范围时，并且二者之间的差值满足工程余量，则该不同发射扇区可以同时进行训练，否则就不能同时进行训练。
应理解，发射扇区的信号的SNR与天线增益和信道质量都相关，因此，可以通过考虑发射天线的天线增益与响应设备的动态范围的差值，确定是否可以同时训练发射天线。
具体地，假设有N阵元均匀天线阵，那么发射天线获得的增益可以为10*log10(N)dBi，同理，接收天线为M阵元均匀天线阵，接收天线获得 的增益为10*log10(M)dBi，当阵元素比较多的时候，如果有N＝128，那么发射天线获得的增益21.0721dBi。而接收机的动态范围和该接收机的ADC的位数相关，假设ADC为6bit的ADC，那么该接收机的动态范围为10*log10(26)＝18dB，而一个具有12bit的ADC的接收机的动态范围为10*log10(212)＝36dB。因此，当ADC的动态范围大于天线增益时，原则上可以在相同的信道上通过不同的发射射频通道连接不同的发射天线同时进行发射波束训练，例如，发射天线为N阵元均匀天线阵，N＝128，发射天线获得的增益21.0721dBi，此时采用12bit的ADC的接收机的动态范围为10*log10(212)＝36dB，满足ADC的动态范围大于天线增益，则可以在相同的信道上同时通过不同的发送射频通道连接不同的发射天线同时进行发射波束训练。
另外，对于邻频带抑制的情况，相邻信道的1.2GHz的频偏处存在-17dBr的增益，2.7GHz的频偏处-22dBr，3.06GHz的频偏处-30dBr。因此，比如当天线阵元数为128，不同波束的动态范围可能相差21dBi，而在相邻信道上，可以看到，例如在第一邻频处(1.2GHz的频偏处)，仍会使得动态范围最大有21-17＝4dB的损失。由于现有高频通信中，作为接收机的响应设备的ADC一般采用6bit的ADC，也就是该响应设备的动态范围较小，因此无法满足响应设备的动态范围大于天线增益，即无法满足响应设备的动态范围大于不同发射扇区的信号的SNR的差异值，因而无法实现不同的发送射频通道连接不同的发射天线同时进行发射波束训练。优选地，该发起设备可以通过发射扇区，逐个发送N个第一波束帧中的每个第一波束帧，即不进行多波束的同时训练，将多个波束分别进行训练，而响应设备可以采用准全向的方式，采用多个射频通道同时接收发起设备发送的第一波束帧。
在本发明实施例中，发起设备向响应设备发送N个第一波束帧，响应设备根据接收到的第一波束帧中包括的天线标识和扇区标识，确定发起设备的发射扇区的质量。
在本发明实施例中，响应设备可以确定发起设备的最优发射扇区向接收扇区发送的信号的SNR，以便于发起设备根据自身最优发射扇区的发送的信号的SNR，确定后续发送的帧结构的调制与编码策略(Modulation and Coding Scheme，MCS)，例如，发起者可以根据SNR确定后续的用于反馈信息的BRP帧的发送MCS，或者还可以根据SNR，确定后续训练波束时发送的BRP包中的训练字段的格式，进一步降低后缀训练字段中信道估计字段(Channel  Estimation，CE)的开销，提高波束训练的效率。
可选地，响应设备还可以根据该N个第一波束帧确定响应设备的接收天线的接收扇区的质量。但考虑训练效率，可以在后续的BRP阶段进行响应设备的接收扇区的训练。
S120，该发起设备接收该响应设备发送的M个第二波束帧，该M个第二波束帧的个数由该响应设备根据该响应设备的至少一个发射天线的发射扇区的个数、以及该发起设备的接收射频通道数和接收天线数确定，该M个第二波束帧中的第j个第二波束帧包括发送该第j个第二波束帧的发射天线的标识和发射扇区的标识、以及该响应设备根据该N个第一波束帧确定的该发起设备的最优发射扇区的标识和该最优发射扇区所在天线的标识，该M个第二波束帧为SSW帧或SSSW包，M为大于1的正整数，j＝1、2、3……M；该发起设备根据该M个第二波束帧，确定该响应设备的发射天线的扇区的质量，并获取该发起设备的最优发射扇区。
应理解，该S120复用现有技术中SLS阶段中的RSS阶段，可以用于训练响应设备的发射扇区。
具体地，在确定M个第二波束帧之前，响应设备获取发起设备的接收射频通道数。对于SU-MIMO场景，发起设备可以具有多个接收射频通道数，响应设备根据获取的发起设备的接收射频通道数，确定M个第二波束帧的个数，即M的具体取值。
具体地，发起设备可以将自身的接收射频通道数以及接收天线数通知给响应设备，响应设备确定发起设备的接收天线数除以接收射频通道数的商，该商值可以称为第二商值，则响应设备将自身的至少一个发射天线的发射扇区的总数乘以第二商值，即为M个第二波束帧的个数M的取值。可选地，该响应设备确定M个第二波束帧的个数时，该响应设备的至少一个发射天线可以指该响应设备的全部发射天线，也可以指该响应设备的部分发射天线。可选地，当发起设备的接收天线数等于接收射频通道数时，则该响应设备确定的M个第二波束帧的个数等于该响应设备的自身发射扇区的总数。
应理解，由于发起设备向响应设备发送N个第一波束帧，可以用于响应设备确定自身的接收扇区的质量，即可以确定响应设备的接收天线的质量，例如，响应设备包括多个接收射频通道，则响应设备可以对应的确定多个优选接收天线。当不满足天线的互易性时，响应设备确定第二波束帧的个数， 响应设备将自身的多个发射天线的发射扇区的总数乘以发起设备接收天线数除以接收射频通道数的商。当满足天线的互易性时，发射射频通道数等于接收射频通道数。则响应设备在进行发射扇区训练时，根据天线的互易性，响应设备的优选接收天线即为优选发射天线，则响应设备只需训练多个优选发射天线中的发射扇区，即响应设备确定M个第二波束帧的个数时，M等于响应设备的至少一个优选发射天线的发射扇区的总数乘以第二商值。
可选地，该M个第二波束帧可以复用IEEE 802.11ad中SSW帧的结构，或者采用更优的SSW帧结构，例如还可以为短波束扫描SSSW包，用于节省波束训练开销，本发明实施例并不限于此。
应理解，对于响应设备向发起设备发送的该M个第二波束帧，其中，第j个第二波束帧包括发送该第j个第二波束帧的发射天线的标识以及发送该第j个第二波束帧的发射扇区的标识，以使得发起设备可以根据接收到的第二波束帧中包括的标识信息确定对应的响应设备的发射扇区的质量。
可选地，响应设备可以向发起设备逐个发送该M个第二波束帧中的每个第二波束帧。具体地，响应设备通过自身的多个发射扇区中的每个发射扇区，向发起设备逐个发送M个第二波束帧中的每个第二波束帧，即响应设备每次通过一个发射扇区发送一个第二波束帧，而不同时通过多个发射扇区发送多个第二波束帧，该第二波束帧包括发送该第二波束帧的发射扇区的标识以及该发射扇区所在天线的标识。
应理解，响应设备可以通过发射扇区，逐个发送M个第二波束帧中的每个第二波束帧，而发起设备可以采用准全向的方式，采用多个射频通道同时接收响应设备发送的第二波束帧。
应理解，响应设备根据N个第一波束帧确定发起设备的发射扇区的质量，并可以将确定的质量结果通过该M个第二波束帧发送给发起设备。可选地，响应设备根据N个第一波束帧确定发起设备的多个发射扇区的质量，还可以通过M个第二波束帧向发起设备发送发起设备的多个优选发射扇区的标识以及每个优选发射扇区所在天线的标识。
但是由于响应设备到发起设备之间的波束并未对齐，数据速率很低，效率不高；另外，对于第二波束帧，一般在其中的SSW Feedback字段中携带发起设备的优选发射扇区的信息，但该SSW Feedback字段只有7个保留比特，并不够传输多个发射天线标识和多个发射扇区的标识，因此，优选的方 案为：响应设备可以根据N个第一波束帧确定发起设备的多个发射扇区中最优发射扇区，该M个第二波束帧中的每个第二波束帧均包括该发起设备的最优发射扇区的标识以及该最优发射扇区所在天线的标识，以便于发起设备可以根据该第二波束帧确定自身的最优发射扇区。
在本发明实施例中，响应设备发送的该M个第二波束帧包括发起设备的最优发射扇区的标识，另外，还可以包括该发起设备的最优发射扇区的SNR。
S130，该发起设备通过该发起设备的最优发射扇区向该响应设备发送第一反馈信息，该第一反馈信息用于指示该发起设备根据该M个第二波束帧确定的该响应设备的至少一个优选发射天线的至少一个优选发射扇区。
应理解，该S130位于SLS阶段中的SSW Feedback阶段，用于发起设备向响应设备反馈响应设备的优选发射扇区。
应理解，发起设备发送该第一反馈信息之前，可以根据该第二波束帧携带的该发起设备的最优发射扇区发送的信号的SNR，确定该第一反馈信息的MCS，并根据该第一反馈信息的MCS，确定该第一反馈信息。
可以理解的当SNR高时，第一反馈信息位于可以采用较高MCS进行传输，也更适合携带更多的信息。如果保持现有SSW Feedback帧的传输格式，即MCS0，一种优选的方式为发起设备通过第一反馈信息只反馈响应设备的最优发射扇区的标识以及该最优发射扇区所在天线的标识。如果SSW Feedback阶段采用MCS0以上的传输格式，则第一反馈信息可以指示响应设备的多个优选发射天线的多个优选发射扇区。
S140，该发起设备接收该响应设备通过该响应设备的最优发射扇区发送的第二反馈信息，该第二反馈信息用于指示该发起设备的多个优选发射天线的多个优选发射扇区，该发起设备的多个优选发射天线的个数等于该发起设备的发射射频通道的个数。
应理解，该S140可以位于SLS阶段中的SSW Ack阶段中，即在ISS和RSS训练完成后，用于响应设备向发起设备反馈发起设备的优选发射扇区，并且，S130和S140，还可以复用现有技术中的SSW Feedback和SSW Ack阶段，通过反馈信息中的BRP Request字段，互相协商是否存在MID和BC阶段。
另外，S130和S140也可以位于SLS阶段结束后，通过BRP帧来携带 发起设备或响应设备的多个优选发射天线的多个优选发射扇区。
在本发明实施例中，在响应设备向发起设备发送第二反馈信息之前，响应设备可以根据接收的第一反馈信息中携带的响应设备的最优发射扇区发送的信号的SNR，确定该第二反馈信息的MCS，根据该第二反馈信息的MCS，确定该第二反馈信息。
具体地，响应设备根据第一反馈信息，确定响应设备的最优发射扇区以及最优发射扇区发送的信号的SNR，通过该最优发射扇区向发起设备发送第二反馈信息，该第二反馈信息用于指示发起设备的多个优选发射天线的多个优选发射扇区。
如果保持现有SSW Feedback帧的传输格式，即MCS0，一种优选的方式为发起设备通过第一反馈信息只反馈响应设备的最优发射扇区的标识以及该最优发射扇区所在天线的标识，同样的，响应设备通过第二反馈信息也只反馈发起设备的最优发射扇区的标识以及该最优发射扇区所在天线的标识。
但是，当SNR高时，第一反馈信息和第二反馈信息也可以采用较高MCS进行传输，也更适合携带更多的信息。因此，本发明实施例提出以下几种方式携带多个优选发射扇区和优选发射天线的标识，发起设备可以通过以下方式发送第一反馈信息，该第一反馈信息中携带响应设备的多个发射扇区以及多个发射天线的标识；响应设备也可以通过以下方式发送第二反馈信息，该第二反馈信息中携带发起设备的多个发射扇区以及多个发射天线的标识。下面以发起设备向响应设备反馈第一反馈信息为例进行说明，响应设备向发起设备反馈的第二反馈信息与第一反馈信息类似，在此不再赘述。
可选地，作为一个实施例，发起设备发送给响应者的第一反馈信息，也可以复用IEEE 802.11ad中SSW Feedback帧的格式，即发起设备通过多个SSW Feedback帧向响应设备反馈多个优选发射扇区，每个SSW Feedback帧之间采用帧间间隔，例如，如果改变发送天线发送该多个SSW Feedback帧，即通过多个天线反馈，则可以采用LBIFS间隔；如果不改变天线，即采用同一个天线反馈，则可以采用SBIFS间隔。
为了提高第一反馈信息和第二发信息的效率，一种优选的方式发起设备采用发起设备的最优发射天线的最优发射扇区第一反馈信息，响应设备采用响应设备的最优发射天线的最优发射扇区第二反馈信息。
虽然IEEE 802.11ad中的信道Channel Measurement Feedback已经支持了反馈多个扇区，但是由于这里的多个扇区是同一个天线的多个扇区标识，因此，不能区分是哪个天线的扇区。可选地，作为一个实施例，可以通过新的反馈格式，如Multiple SSW Feedback帧，携带发给同一个响应者的多个天线标识和扇区标识，或者携带发给同一个发起者的多个天线标识和扇区标识。具体地，该新的反馈格式可以有两种，一种是只反馈天线数目和每个天线中扇区的数目，那么每个天线标识内部，就不需要重复指示天线标识；另一种为指示一共反馈的扇区数目，那么每个扇区都需要携带天线标识和扇区标识。
具体地，对于只反馈天线数目和每个天线中扇区的数目的情况，则每个优选发射天线的优选发射扇区的个数相同，则对于每个优选发射天线，只需反馈一次发射天线的表示。例如，以下表1为例进行说明，假设要反馈3个优选发射天线，分别为天线1、天线3和天线4；每个天线均反馈4个优选发射扇区，则可以通过表1所示的帧结构反馈优选发射天线以及优选发射扇区。
表1
Figure PCTCN2016104256-appb-000001
具体地，如表1所示，可以通过前三个比特位B0-B2表示每个优选发射天线中包括的优选发射扇区的个数，即B0-B2指示每个优选发射天线中均包括8个优选发射扇区；B3至B4则用于指示优选发射天线，即表示后面8个优选发射扇区所在的优选发射天线，例如天线1；B5至B10可以对应一个优选发射天线中一个优选发射扇区的标识，如B3至B4反馈优选发射天线1中的一个优选发射扇区；B11-B18用于反馈B5至B10中优选发射扇区的SNR；以此类推，则B19至B24继续对应发射天线1中其余的优选发射扇区，对应的B25至B32则用于反馈B19-B24中指示的发射扇区的SNR，直到表 示完天线1中4个优选发射扇区以及优选发射扇区的SNR，则继续表示优选发射天线3中的4个优选发射扇区以及优选发射扇区的SNR，表示方法与天线1相同。因此，通过该方式反馈发射天线以及发射扇区，对于每个优选发射天线，只需要指示一次该天线的标识。
可选地，对于反馈总扇区数目的情况，则每个扇区都需要携带天线标识和扇区标识。例如，以下表2为例进行说明，假设共反馈32个优选发射扇区，每个扇区需要16bit，则该32个优选发射扇区需要32*2+1＝65字节。
表2
Figure PCTCN2016104256-appb-000002
具体地，可以通过B0-B5表示需要反馈的发射扇区的总数，即B0-B5指示优选发射扇区个数32；B6-B11表示32个优选发射扇区中的一个优选发射扇区的标识，B12-B13表示B12-B13指示的优选发射扇区所在的天线的标识，B14-B21表示B12-B13指示的优选发射扇区的SNR，以此类推，B22-B27、B28-B29和B30-B37则分别对应另一个优选发射扇区，直到将32个优选发射扇区均标识完全。因此，通过该方式反馈发射天线以及发射扇区，对于每个优选发射扇区，都需要指示该扇区所在天线的标识，但是每个天线具有优选发射扇区的个数并不限定，可以相同，也可以不同。
应理解，响应设备可以根据N个第一波束帧确定发起设备的发射扇区的质量，但在该第一反馈信息中，只向发起设备反馈该发起设备的最优发射扇区，而将其它优选发射扇区的测量结果进行保存，以便于在后续BRP阶段通过上述方式向发起设备反馈发起设备的多个优选发射天线以及多个优选发射扇区。同样地，发起设备可以根据M个第二波束帧确定的响应设备的发射扇区的质量，也可以通过第二反馈帧反馈该响应设备的部分优选发射扇区，例如该响应设备的最优发射扇区，而将响应设备的其他优选发射扇区的结果进行保存，以便于在后续BRP阶段通过上述方式向响应设备反馈响应设备的多个优选发射天线以及多个优选发射扇区。
因此，本发明实施例的SU-MIMO技术中训练波束的方法，针对SU-MIMO的应用场景，通过发起设备和响应设备分别发送的波束帧，对发 起设备和响应设备的发射扇区进行训练，可以获得发起设备和响应设备的多个发射扇区，从而实现发起设备和响应设备具有多个发射射频通道时的波束训练过程。
应理解，对于现有技术中SISO情况，SLS阶段可以进行发起设备和响应设备的发射波束和接收波束训练，其中发起设备的发射波束通过ISS过程中发射扇区扫描(Transmit Sector Sweep，TXSS)过程训练，而接收波束通过ISS过程中接收扇区扫描(Receive Sector Sweep，RXSS)过程训练。同理，响应设备的的发射波束通过RSS过程中TXSS过程训练，而接收波束通过RSS过程中RXSS过程训练。并且在SISO中，一种典型的方式就是在SLS阶段中，包括ISS的TXSS训练，和RSS的TXSS过程，而RXSS过程放在训练效率更高的BRP阶段进行，本发明实施例也以此为例，在SLS阶段的ISS进行TXSS训练，在RSS进行TXSS过程，而RXSS过程均放在训练效率更高的BRP阶段进行，其中BRP中MID可以实现响应设备和发起设备的接收波束训练,其中发起设备的接收波束训练称为I-MID阶段，而响应设备的接收波束训练称为R-MID。
但是，本发明实施例中，MIMO和SISO的情况不同，BRP阶段不再是可选项。对于MIMO，由于必须通过发射波束和接收波束组合的测量，进行模拟波束的选择，MID/BC阶段从SISO模式的可选模式，在MIMO场景中则变成了必选模式。
图5示出了根据本发明另一实施例的训练波束的方法200的示意性流程图。该方法200仍然应用于SU-MIMO场景中，即针对单个发起设备与单个响应设备之间的波束训练。具体地，该方法200可以对应于现有技术中SLS阶段和BRP阶段，如图5所示，该方法200具体包括：
S201，发起设备向响应设备发送N个第一波束帧，该N个第一波束帧的个数由该发起设备根据该发起设备的发射扇区总数、以及该响应设备的接收射频通道数和接收天线数确定，该N个第一波束帧中第i个第一波束帧包括发送该第i个第一波束帧的发射天线的标识和发射扇区的标识，该N个第一波束帧用于该响应设备确定该发起设备的发射天线的扇区的质量，该N个第一波束帧为波束扫描SSW帧、短波束扫描SSSW包或信标beacon帧，N为大于1的正整数，i＝1、2、3……N。
S202，该发起设备接收该响应设备发送的M个第二波束帧，该M个第 二波束帧的个数由该响应设备根据该响应设备的至少一个发射天线的发射扇区的个数、以及该发起设备的接收射频通道数和接收天线数确定，该M个第二波束帧中的第j个第二波束帧包括发送该第j个第二波束帧的发射天线的标识和发射扇区的标识、以及该响应设备根据该N个第一波束帧确定的该发起设备的最优发射扇区的标识和该最优发射扇区所在天线的标识，该M个第二波束帧为SSW帧或SSSW包，M为大于1的正整数，j＝1、2、3……M；该发起设备根据该M个第二波束帧，确定该响应设备的发射天线的扇区的质量，并获取该发起设备的最优发射扇区。
S203，该发起设备通过该发起设备的最优发射扇区向该响应设备发送第一反馈信息，该第一反馈信息用于指示该发起设备根据该M个第二波束帧确定的该响应设备的至少一个优选发射天线的至少一个优选发射扇区。
S204，该发起设备接收该响应设备通过该响应设备的最优发射扇区发送的第二反馈信息，该第二反馈信息用于指示该发起设备的多个优选发射天线的多个优选发射扇区，该发起设备的多个优选发射天线的个数等于该发起设备的发射射频通道的个数。
应理解，该方法200中的S201至S204分别对应方法100中的S110-S140，在此不再赘述。
S205，该发起设备通过该发起设备的多个优选发射天线，向该响应设备发送至少一个第三波束帧，该至少一个第三波束帧用于该响应设备确定该响应设备的多个优选接收天线的多个优选接收扇区与该发起设备的多个优选发射天线的多个优选发射扇区之间的P种组合对应关系(pairwire combination)，该至少一个第三波束帧为波形优化BRP帧，P为正整数，其中第三波束帧携带发送天线标识。
应理解，在S201-S204中，发起设备与响应设备仅进行了发射扇区的训练，并未进行接收扇区的训练。而该S205位于BRP阶段的MID与BC阶段，用于确定发起设备的多个优选接收天线的多个优选接收扇区与该发起设备的多个优选发射天线的多个优选发射扇区之间的P种组合对应关系。
和SISO的情况不同，这里确定的组合对应关系，不仅是发起设备的一个发射天线和响应设备的接收天线间的组合。这里是发起设备的多个发射天线和响应设备的多个接收天线间的组合。
因此在发射BRP包时，和SISO的情况不同。SISO阶段，发起者和响 应者可以通过协商Nbeam(I，TX)，Nbeam(I，RX)，确定BC阶段包括发起者发送Nbeam(I，TX)个BRP-RX帧，每个BRP-RX会携带发射天线采用的扇区标识，并且每个BRP-RX后缀了Nbeam(I，RX)的TRN-R子字段。由于通过SLS阶段，最优发射天线已经唯一的确定，因此BRP包不需要携带发射天线标识。
而对于MIMO的情况，由于需要为每个天线选择最优的扇区，即确定模拟波束，因此，在MIMO阶段，每个BRP-RX包中除了通过TRN子字段的顺序携带发射扇区标识，还需要携带发射天线标识。另外反馈也和现有技术SISO技术不同，不能仅通过TRN子字段的顺序关系获得发射扇区标识，还需要通过BRP-RX包携带的发射天线标识获得对应该发射扇区对应的发射天线标识，并且反馈多个发射天线上的多个发射扇区的组合。
可选地，在该S205中，该发起设备通过该发起设备的多个优选发射天线，向该响应设备发送至少一个第三波束帧，该至少一个第三波束帧可以用于响应设备直接确定该响应设备的多个优选接收扇区与该发起设备的多个优选发射扇区之间的P种组合对应关系，即S205对应MID-BC阶段联合的情况；可选地，该S205也可以分为MID和BC两个分开的阶段，该至少一个第三波束帧也可以只用来确定该响应设备的优选接收扇区，即对应MID阶段，发起设备再向该响应设备发送至少一个第四波束帧，该至少一个第四波束帧用于响应设备确定该响应设备的多个优选接收扇区与该发起设备的多个优选发射扇区之间的P种组合对应关系，即对应BC阶段。
在本发明实施例中，对于MID-BC阶段联合的情况，即响应设备根据该至少一个第三波束帧确定该响应设备的多个优选接收扇区与该发起设备的多个优选发射扇区之间的P种组合对应关系。具体地，发起设备通过自身的每个优选发射扇区，向响应设备发送该至少一个第三波束帧，该至少一个第三波束帧的个数可以等于该发起设备的优选发射天线的个数，即发起设备通过一个优选发射天线发送一个第三波束帧，该第三波束帧包括发送该第三波束帧的天线的标识。可选地，该第三波束帧可以为BRP帧，则该第三波束帧中可以不包括发送该第三波束帧的扇区的标识，通过BRP包中的TRN子字段的顺序关系携带扇区标识，而只包括发送该第三波束帧的天线的标识，发起设备通过自身的优选发射天线的优选发射扇区发送该第三波束帧。响应设备通过自身的接收扇区，接收发起设备发送的该第三波束帧，从而确定响 应设备的多个优选接收扇区与发起设备的多个优选发射扇区之间的P种组合对应关系。
可选地，该第三波束帧可以为BRP帧，包括发送该第三波束帧的多个天线的标识，发起设备通过自身的优选发射天线的优选发射扇区发送该第三波束帧。响应设备通过自身的接收扇区，接收发起设备发送的该第三波束帧，从而确定响应设备的多个优选接收扇区与发起设备的多个优选发射扇区之间的P种组合对应关系。
例如，假设发起设备包括2个发射射频通道，4个发射天线，根据发射射频通道数确定2个天线为优选发射天线，可选地，可以根据响应设备反馈的第二反馈信息确定该2个优选发射天线，且假设每个天线有3个优选发射扇区，则该发起设备的发射扇区的组合个数Nbeam(I，TX)＝3*3＝9个；类似的，假设响应设备包括2个接收射频通道，5个接收天线，而该5个接收天线中优选接收天线未知，假设每个天线有4个优选接收扇区，则该响应设备的接收扇区的组合个数Nbeam(I，RX)＝20*16/2＝160。
可选地，为了减少接收扇区的组合的个数，响应设备也可以根据天线互易性选择优选接收天线。具体地，根据接收射频通道数，需要确定2个天线为优选接收天线，响应设备可以根据发起设备反馈的第一反馈信息确定响应设备的优选发射天线，再根据天线的互易性，确定2个优选发射天线为优选接收天线，则该响应设备需要训练的接收扇区的组合个数为Nbeam(I，RX)＝4*4＝16。
在进行波束训练时，以响应设备不考虑天线互易性为例，则发起设备的优选发射扇区共Nbeam(I，TX)＝9个，而响应设备的全部接收扇区的个数为Nbeam(I，RX)＝160个，则在上述MID-BC联合阶段共训练Nbeam(I，TX)*Nbeam(I，RX)＝9*160＝1440个发射波束和接收波束之间的组合，从而获得P种响应设备的多个优选接收扇区与发起设备的多个优选发射扇区之间的组合对应关系，该P的取值小于等于1440，即在该1440种组合中选择P种组合对应关系。
应理解，在上述MID-BC阶段联合的情况，在确定该P种组合对应关系时，由于发起设备和响应设备都具有多个射频通道，可以采用发起设备或者响应设备逐个射频通道进行训练，即发起设备的多个发射射频通道每次只训练其中一个，对应的响应设备的接收射频通道也采用逐个接收的方式进行逐 个训练，或者响应设备采用多个接收射频通道同时训练；或者，在发起设备的多个发射射频通道采用同时训练时，响应设备的接收射频通道采用逐个接收的方式进行逐个训练。可选地，发起设备和响应设备还可以都采用同时训练的方式训练波束组合，即发起设备的多个发射射频通道同时发送用于训练的第三波束帧，而响应设备的多个接收射频通道也同时进行接收。
在本发明实施例中，对于MID和BC为两个分开的阶段的情况，即响应设备先根据第三波束帧确定优选接收扇区，再根据第四波束帧确定响应设备的多个优选接收扇区与该发起设备的多个优选发射扇区之间的P种组合对应关系。具体地，对于MID阶段，发起设备可以采取准全向的发送方式，向响应设备发送至少一个第三波束帧，则响应设备通过自身的接收扇区接收该至少一个第三波束帧，从而根据该至少一个第三波束帧确定响应设备的优选接收扇区。对于BC阶段，发起设备通过自身的每个优选发射扇区向响应设备发送至少一个第四波束帧，响应设备通过自身的优选接收扇区接收该至少一个第四波束帧，以便于响应设备根据该至少一个第四波束帧，确定该响应设备的多个优选接收扇区与发起设备的多个优选发射扇区之间的P种组合对应关系。
而在MID阶段，发起设备可以采取准全向的发送方式向响应设备发送至少一个第三波束，以便于响应设备在MID阶段，根据该至少一个第三波束帧，确定响应设备的优选接收天线以及每个优选接收天线的优选接收扇区，其中，该响应设备的多个接收射频通道数等于优选接收天线数，且这里假设每个优选接收天线包括的优选接收扇区的个数均为Nbeam(I，RX)，并且，响应设备可以通过向发起设备发送的第三反馈信息，指示该响应设备的多个优选接收天线中优选接收扇区的个数为Nbeam(I，RX)，可选地，若响应设备的每个优选接收天线包括的优选接收扇区个数不相等时，则该第三反馈信息用于指示该响应设备的多个优选接收天线中包括的优选扇区个数最大值Nbeam(I，RX)。由于MIMO的情况下，多个接收通道可以同时训练，因此，训练多个组合的时候，仅需要指示该响应设备的多个优选接收天线中包括的优选扇区个数最大值Nbeam(I，RX)，以最大值为准。
那么，在BC阶段，由于发起设备根据该第三反馈信息，确定每个优选发射天线均包括Nbeam(I，TX)个优选发射扇区，则发起设备可以确定每个发射射频通道发送Nbeam(I，TX)个BRP-RX帧，即至少一个第四波束 帧，且每个BRP-RX帧中会携带优选发射扇区标识以及该优选发射扇区所在天线的标识。根据响应设备的每个优选接收天线包括的优选接收扇区的个数均为Nbeam(I，RX)，则每个BRP-RX帧中还包括Nbeam(I，RX)个TRN-R子字段，以便于响应设备的多个接收射频通道可以同时接收BRP-RX帧，从而训练多个波束组合使得响应设备获得响应设备的多个优选接收扇区与发起设备的多个优选发射扇区之间的P种组合对应关系。
例如，在进行MID和BC阶段之前，假设发起设备包括2个发射射频通道，4个发射天线，根据发射射频通道数确定2个天线为优选发射天线，可选地，可以根据响应设备反馈的第二反馈信息确定该2个优选发射天线，且假设每个天线有3个优选发射扇区，则该发起设备的发射扇区的组合个数Nbeam(I，TX)＝3*3＝9个。而对于响应设备，假设响应设备包括2个接收射频通道，5个接收天线，则对于MID阶段，需要训练出该响应设备的优选接收天线。具体地，发起设备可以采取准全向的发送方式向响应设备发送至少一个第三波束，以便于响应设备根据该至少一个第三波束帧，确定响应设备的优选接收天线以及每个优选接收天线的优选接收扇区，其中，该响应设备的接收射频通道数为2，则对应可以确定2个优选接收天线，且这里假设每个优选接收天线包括的优选接收扇区的个数均为4，并且，响应设备可以通过向发起设备发送的第三反馈信息，指示该响应设备的多个优选接收天线中优选接收扇区的个数为4。可选地，若响应设备的每个优选接收天线包括的优选接收扇区个数不相等时，例如响应设备的两个优选接收天线的优选接收扇区个数分别为2和4，则该第三反馈信息用于指示该响应设备的多个优选接收天线中包括的优选扇区个数最大值4。
因此，该发起设备发射扇区的组合个数Nbeam(I，TX)＝3*3＝9个，响应设备接收扇区的组合个数为Nbeam(I，RX)＝4*4＝16，则对于BC阶段，训练Nbeam(I，TX)*Nbeam(I，RX)＝9*16＝144个发射波束和接收波束之间的组合，从而获得P种响应设备的多个优选接收扇区与发起设备的多个优选发射扇区之间的组合对应关系，该P的取值小于等于144，即在该144种组合中选择P种组合对应关系。
应理解，在上述BC的训练阶段中，在确定该P种组合对应关系时，由于发起设备和响应设备都可以具有多个射频通道，可以采用发起设备或者响应设备逐个射频通道进行训练，即发起设备的多个发射射频通道每次只训练 其中一个，对应的响应设备的接收射频通道也采用逐个接收的方式进行逐个训练，或者响应设备采用多个接收射频通道同时训练；或者，在发起设备的多个发射射频通道采用同时训练时，响应设备的接收射频通道采用逐个接收的方式进行逐个训练。可选地，发起设备和响应设备还可以都采用同时训练的方式训练波束组合，即发起设备的多个发射射频通道同时发送用于训练的第三波束帧，而响应设备的多个接收射频通道也同时进行接收。
应理解，对于响应设备的多个优选接收扇区与该发起设备的多个优选发射扇区之间的P种组合对应关系中的任意一种组合对应关系，包括：发起设备包括多个优选发射天线，且该优先发射天线的个数等于该发起设备的发射射频通道数，每个优选发射天线还包括至少一个优选发射扇区，即该发起设备可以包括多个优选发射扇区；同样的，响应设备包括多个优选接收天线，且该优先接收天线的个数等于该响应设备的接收射频通道数，每个优选接收天线还包括至少一个优选接收扇区，即该响应设备可以包括多个优选接收扇区，将发起设备的多个优选发射扇区与响应设备的多个优选接收扇区进行一一对应，则可以获得发起设备的多个优选发射扇区与响应设备的多个优选接收扇区之间一种组合对应关系。由于发起设备的多个优选发射扇区和响应设备的多个优选接收扇区可以有多种，且二者之间的对应关系也可以有多种，因此，发起设备的多个优选发射扇区与响应设备的多个优选接收扇区之间可以具有P种组合对应关系，P为正整数。
S206，该发起设备接收该响应设备发送的第一指示信息；该发起设备根据该第一指示信息，确定该P种组合对应关系中该发起设备的P个优选发射扇区组合，该P种组合对应关系中的一种组合对应关系包括该发起设备的P个优选发射扇区组合中的一个优选发射扇区组合以及对应的该响应设备的一个优选接收扇区组合之间的组合对应关系。
在本发明实施例中，响应设备可以确定出发起设备的多个优选发射扇区与响应设备的多个优选接收扇区之间的P种组合对应关系，并向发起设备发送第一指示信息，通过该第一指示信息指示发起设备的P个优选发射扇区组合，该P个优选发射扇区组合对应于P种组合对应关系。具体地，对于P种组合对应关系中的任意一种组合对应关系均包括了发起设备的多个优选发射扇区和响应设备的多个优选接收扇区，则P种组合对应关系对应包括了发起设备的P个优选发射扇区组合，响应设备通过第一指示信息指示发起设备 的该P个优选发射扇区组合。具体的，P个优选发射扇区组合反馈包括多个发射天线的最优扇区标识的组合，以及发射天线扇区组合对应的天线标识。
应理解，上述S205和S206进行波束对训练的过程，发起设备和响应设备的射频通道都可以采用同时训练的方式，训练获得上述P种组合对应关系。或者，发起设备也可以通过每个发射射频通道逐个进行训练，对应的，响应设备也可以分别测量得到每个射频通道对应的信道质量，并且根据预定的准则，如SINR准则或信道容量最大准则，确定在MIMO时的信道矩阵，该信道矩阵的维度为接收射频通道数乘以发射射频通道数。由于响应设备可以确定发起设备和响应设备之间的P种组合对应关系，因此对应可以获得P个信道矩阵。响应设备通过第一指示信息向发起设备反馈发起设备的P个优选发射扇区的组合，同时也可以通过该第一指示信息，向发起设备反馈信道状态信息(Channel State Information，CSI)，即反馈MIMO情况下的信道矩阵。
可选地，对于上述发起设备通过每个发射射频通道逐个进行训练的情况，对应的，响应设备也分别测量得到每个射频通道对应的信道质量，即上述的CSI为响应设备根据发起设备通过每个发射射频通道和响应设备的每个接收射频通道分别确定的，与实际MIMO的应用情况不符，因此，需要继续进行S207，继续对确定的发起设备的多个优选发射扇区与响应设备的多个优选接收扇区之间P种组合对应关系进行波束训练，从而获得MIMO情况下的CSI以及P种组合对应关系中的最优组合对应关系。而对于发起设备和响应设备在S205和S206中已经采用多个射频通道同时训练的情况，可以不继续执行S207，而确定出发起设备的多个优选发射扇区与响应设备的多个优选接收扇区之间最优组合对应关系以及MIMO情况下的CSI。
另外，对于MIMO的场景，引入了多信道发射，即MIMO的信道带宽大于SISO场景的信道带宽。在上述步骤通过BRP帧进行P种组合对应关系的波束训练过程中，可以在单个信道上进行。训练字段如果在单个信道上发送可以节省波束训练的开销。例如，在MID和BC分开训练的情况中，由于MID中发起设备采用了准全向发射，频率选择性不是主要因素，而集中在一个信道发射，可以提高波束训练的功率谱密度，提高波束训练的SNR，并且可以节省其他信道的上波束训练资源。
例如，图6示出了根据本发明实施例的BRP包的示意图，如图6所示， 其中，短训练字段(short training field，STF)用于获得分组同步和接收增益控制；CE字段用于估计信道；Header部分用于描述数据的传输方式，Header部分可以包括传统头(legacy-Header)，即IEEE 802.11ad的包头，也可以称为DMG header，Header部分还包括新增加的IEEE 802.11ay的包头，也可以称为EDMG(Enhanced Directional Multi-Gigabit，增强的方向多吉比特)header(EDMG头)。另外，该BRP包还包括为宽带传输增加的EDMG STF和EDMG CE两个部分，以及数据部分，数据部分用于携带BRP阶段训练的参数，一级反馈结果等。后缀的TRN子字段，用于波束训练。而SC Training field(SC训练字段)表示单信道(Single Channel)训练字段，用于进行波束训练。
因此，如图6所示，BRP包在S205和S206的波束训练过程，采用单信道的训练方式，即训练字段占用部分信道，训练字段占用的信道带宽小于数据信道。但是在确定数字预编码矩阵时，在数字域，特别是正交频分复(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing，OFDM)技术调制的系统中，每个子载波都可以设置不同的数字预编码，因此根据实际应用情况，需要在多信道的带宽上进行训练，即在波束训练时，训练字段占用的信道带宽与数据字段相等。因此，在S205和S206的波束训练过程，BRP采用单信道的训练方式进行训练后，需要继续执行S207，通过占用多信道的训练字段进行训练，并获得对应的信道矩阵和信道状态信息。
S207，发起设备与响应设备进行波束对训练，确定发起设备的优选发射扇区与响应设备的优选接收扇区之间的P种组合对应关系中的最优组合对应关系。
具体地，首先，该发起设备可以根据响应设备发送的第一指示信息，确定P种组合对应关系中发起设备的P个优选发射扇区组合(Tx1,Tx2,……,TxP)。例如，发起设备可以包括多个发射射频通道，则发起设备确定的P个优选发射扇区组合中任意一个优选发射扇区组合Txi中包括的优选发射扇区个数等于发射射频通道的个数，i＝1,2,3,……,P。
其次，该发起设备向该响应设备发送第一请求信息，该第一请求信息用于指示该响应设备进行波束训练，则响应设备可以根据该第一请求信息确定P种组合对应关系中该响应设备的P个优选接收扇区组合(Rx1，Rx2，..,RxP)，例如，响应设备可以包括多个接收射频通道，则响应设备确定的P个优选接 收扇区组合中任意一个优选发射扇区组合Rxi中包括的优选接收扇区个数等于接收射频通道的个数，i＝1,2,3,……,P。即每个优选接收天线对应的优选接收扇区的组合。
应理解，该P种组合关系中的任意一种组合对应关系包括：响应设备的该P个优选接收扇区组合中一个优选发射扇区组合Rxi，以及对应的该发起设备的P个优选发射扇区组合中优选发射扇区组合Txi之间的组合对应关系。
在本发明实施例中，当发起设备和响应设备分别确定了优选扇区组合后，该发起设备通过该发起设备的多个发射射频通道，同时向该响应设备发送至少一个第五波束帧，其中，该至少一个第五波束帧中可以如图7所示，即每个波束帧的训练字段的信道带宽等于该每个第五波束帧中数据字段的信道带宽，且该每个第五波束帧的数据域部分可以包括发送该每个第五波束帧的该发起设备的优选发射扇区组合的标识Txi，或者也可以包括对应的该响应设备的优选接收扇区的组合的标识Rxi，以便于该响应设备根据该至少一个第五波束帧中的标识，在该发起设备的多个优选发射扇区和该响应设备的多个优选接收扇区构成的P种组合对应关系中确定最优的组合对应关系、以及该最优的组合对应关系的信道状态信息，该信道状态信息用于指示该最优的组合对应关系的信道矩阵，该最优的组合对应关系指该发起设备的发射扇区组合Txi和对应的该响应设备的接收扇区组合Rxi之间的对应关系，该至少一个第五波束帧为BRP帧。
应理解，在S207中，发起设备采用多个发射射频通道同时训练的方式，即多天线同时训练的方式，发起设备可以采用码分方式通过对应的多个扇区发射训练包。其中，码分发送多天线的训练字段，可以采用不同的天线采用不同正交训练字段同时发送；也可以采用不同的天线采用不同的正交掩码，相同的训练字段同时发送；还可以采用正交掩码和正交序列结合的方式，实现多个发射天线同时发送。另外，由于此时的收发天线采用的都是较好的发射波束，因此，不会再出现超过接收机动态范围的情况。
可选地，该响应设备根据该至少一个第五波束帧，确定最优的组合对应关系、以及该最优的组合对应关系的信道状态信息后，可以向发起设备反馈该最优的组合对应关系的信道状态信息。
在本发明实施例中，类似上述进行发起设备的发射扇区和响应设备的接 收扇区，以及二者之间的组合对应关系的训练过程，还可以进行发起设备的接收扇区和响应设备的发射扇区、以及二者之间的组合对应关系的训练过程，即执行S208至S210。
S208，响应设备通过该响应设备的多个优选发射天线，向发起设备发送至少一个第六波束帧，该至少一个第六波束帧为BRP帧；该发起设备根据该至少一个第六波束帧，确定该发起设备的多个优选接收扇区与该响应设备的多个优选发射扇区之间的Q种组合对应关系。
应理解，在S201-S204中，发起设备与响应设备仅进行了发射扇区的训练，并未进行接收扇区的训练。而该S208可以复用现有技术中BRP阶段的MID与BC阶段，用于确定发起设备的多个优选发射天线的多个优选接收扇区与该响应设备的多个优选接收天线的多个优选发射扇区之间的Q种组合对应关系。
在本发明实施例中，在前面步骤中，发起设备可以向响应设备反馈了响应设备的多个优选发射天线以及多个优选发射扇区，同样地，响应设备也向发起设备反馈了发起设备的多个优选发射天线以及多个优选发射扇区。
因此，在该S208中，该响应设备通过该响应设备的多个优选发射天线，向该发起设备发送至少一个第六波束帧，该至少一个第六波束帧可以用于发起设备直接确定该响应设备的多个优选发射扇区与该发起设备的多个优选接收扇区之间的Q种组合对应关系，即S208可以对应于MID-BC阶段联合的情况；可选地，该S208也可以分为MID和BC两个分开的阶段，该至少一个第六波束帧也可以只用来确定该发起设备的优选接收扇区，即对应MID阶段，该响应设备再向发起设备发送至少一个第七波束帧，该至少一个第七波束帧用于发起设备确定该响应设备的多个优选发射扇区与该发起设备的多个优选接收扇区之间的Q种组合对应关系，即对应BC阶段。
应理解，该步骤S208与S205对应，即都是确定优选接收扇区和优选发射扇区之间的组合对应关系。具体地，S208中关于响应设备的优选发射扇区的训练可以与S205中发起设备的优选发射扇区的训练相对应；S208中关于发起设备的优选接收扇区的训练与S205中响应设备的优选接收扇区的训练相对应，在此不再赘述。
S209，该发起设备向该响应设备发送第二指示信息，响应设备根据该第二指示信息，确定该Q种组合对应关系中该响应设备的Q个优选发射扇区 组合，该Q种组合对应关系中的一种组合对应关系包括该响应设备的Q个优选发射扇区组合中的一个优选发射扇区组合以及对应的该发起设备的一个优选接收扇区组合之间的组合对应关系。
具体地，对于Q种组合对应关系中的任意一种组合对应关系均包括了响应设备的多个优选发射扇区和发起设备的多个优选接收扇区之间一一对应的关系，则Q种组合对应关系对应包括了响应设备的Q个优选发射扇区组合以及发起设备的Q个优选接收区组合，发起设备通过第二指示信息指示响应设备的该Q个优选发射扇区组合。
应理解，类似S205和S206，上述S208和S209进行波束对训练的过程，发起设备和响应设备的射频通道也都可以采用同时训练的方式，训练获得上述Q种组合对应关系。或者，响应设备也可以通过每个发射射频通道逐个进行训练，对应的，发起设备也可以分别测量得到每个射频通道对应的信道质量，并且根据预定的准则，确定在MIMO时的信道矩阵，该信道矩阵的维度为接收射频通道数乘以发射射频通道数。由于发起设备可以确定发起设备和响应设备之间的Q种组合对应关系，因此对应可以获得Q个信道矩阵。发起设备通过第二指示信息向响应设备反馈响应设备的Q个优选发射扇区的组合，同时也可以通过该第二指示信息，向响应设备反馈CSI，即反馈MIMO情况下的信道矩阵。
可选地，对于上述响应设备通过每个发射射频通道逐个进行训练的情况，对应的，发起设备也分别测量得到每个射频通道对应的信道质量，即上述的CSI为发起设备根据响应设备通过每个发射射频通道和发起设备的每个接收射频通道分别确定的，与实际MIMO的应用情况不符，因此，需要继续进行S210，继续对确定的响应设备的多个优选发射扇区与发起设备的多个优选接收扇区之间Q种组合对应关系进行波束训练，从而获得MIMO情况下的CSI以及Q种组合对应关系中的最优的组合对应关系。
而对于发起设备和响应设备在S208和S209中已经采用多个射频通道同时训练的情况，可以不继续执行S210，而直接确定出响应设备的多个优选发射扇区与发起设备的多个优选接收扇区之间最优组合对应关系以及MIMO情况下的CSI。
另外，通过第六波束帧和第七波束帧进行响应设备的优选发射扇区的训练和发起设备的优选接收扇区的训练的过程中，该第六波束帧和第七波束帧 可以为BRP帧。考虑到节省资源开销，在BRP包的数据后后缀训练字段来进行训练时，可以令训练字段在单个信道上发送，即训练字段的信道带宽小于数据字段的信道带宽。但在实际应用中，需要在多信道的带宽上进行训练，即在波束训练时，训练字段占用的信道带宽与数据域相等。因此，在S208和S209的波束训练过程，BRP帧采用单信道的训练方式进行训练后，需要继续执行S210，通过占用多信道的训练字段进行训练，并获得对应的信道矩阵和信道状态信息。
S210，发起设备与响应设备针对确定的Q种组合对应关系进行波束对训练，确定响应设备的优选发射扇区与发起设备的优选接收扇区之间的P种组合对应关系中的最优的组合对应关系。
具体地，发起设备可以确定Q种组合对应关系中该发起设备的Q个优选接收扇区组合(Rx1，Rx2，..,RxP)，例如，发起设备可以包括多个接收射频通道，则发起设备确定的Q个优选接收扇区组合中任意一个优选发射扇区组合Rxi中包括的优选接收扇区个数等于接收射频通道的个数，即每个J接收射频通道对应一个接收天线的接收扇区，i＝1,2,3,……,P。
该发起设备可以向该响应设备发送第二请求信息，该第二请求信息用于指示该响应设备进行波束训练，则响应该设备可以根据发起设备发送的第二指示信息，确定Q种组合对应关系中响应设备的Q个优选发射扇区组合(Tx1,Tx2,……,TxP)。例如，响应设备可以包括多个发射射频通道，则响应设备确定的Q个优选发射扇区组合中任意一个优选发射扇区组合Txi中包括的优选发射扇区个数等于发射射频通道的个数，即每个发射射频通道对应一个发射天线的发射扇区，i＝1,2,3,……,P。
应理解，该Q种组合关系中的任意一种组合对应关系包括：响应设备的该Q个优选接收扇区组合中一个优选发射扇区组合Txi，以及对应的该发起设备的Q个优选发射扇区组合中优选接收扇区组合Rxi之间的组合对应关系。
在本发明实施例中，当发起设备和响应设备分别确定了优选扇区组合后，该响应设备通过该响应设备的多个发射射频通道，同时向该发起设备发送至少一个第八波束帧，其中，该至少一个第八波束帧可以如图7所示，即每个第八波束帧的训练字段的信道带宽等于该每个第八波束帧中数据字段的信道带宽，且该每个第八波束帧的数据域部分可以包括发送该每个第八波 束帧的该响应设备的优选发射扇区组合的标识Txi，或者也可以包括对应的该发起设备的优选接收扇区的组合Rxi的标识，以便于该发起设备根据该至少一个第八波束帧，在该响应设备的多个优选发射扇区和该发起设备的多个优选接收扇区构成的Q种组合对应关系中确定最优的组合对应关系、以及该最优的组合对应关系的信道状态信息，该信道状态信息用于指示该最优的组合对应关系的信道矩阵，该最优的组合对应关系指该响应设备的发射扇区组合Txi和对应的该发起设备的接收扇区组合Rxi之间的对应关系，该至少一个第八波束帧可以为BRP帧。
可选地，该发起设备根据该至少一个第八波束帧，确定最优的组合对应关系、以及该最优的组合对应关系的信道状态信息后，可以向响应设备反馈该最优的组合对应关系的信道状态信息。
应理解，该S210与S207相对应，即S210中响应设备的发射扇区与S20中的发起设备的发射扇区相对应，S210中发起设备的接收扇区与S20中的响应设备的接收扇区相对应，在此不再赘述。
因此，本发明实施例的SU-MIMO技术中训练波束的方法，针对SU-MIMO的应用场景，通过发起设备和响应设备分别发送的波束帧，训练获得该发起设备的优选发射扇区和响应设备的优选接收扇区，并进一步训练获得该发起设备的优选发射扇区和响应设备的优选接收扇区之间的组合对应关系，从而实现具有多个发射射频通道的发起设备和具有多个接收射频通道的响应设备在SU-MIMO的应用场景下的波束对训练过程。另外，同样也可以训练获得具有多个发射射频通道的响应设备的优选发射扇区和具有多个接收射频通道的发起设备的优选接收扇区之间的组合对应关系。
图8示出了根据本发明实施例的MU-MIMO技术中训练波束的方法300的示意性流程图，该方法300应用于MU-MIMO场景中，即针对单个发起设备与多个响应设备之间的波束训练。具体地，该方法可以应用于如图1所示的场景中，例如，该发起设备可以为图1中的AP，响应设备可以为STA，该方法300可以对应于现有技术中SLS阶段，如图8所示，图8以一个发起设备和两个响应设备为例进行说明，该方法300具体包括：
S310，发起设备向K个响应设备发送T个第一波束帧，该T个第一波束帧的个数由该发起设备根据该发起设备的发射扇区总数、以及该K个响应设备中每个响应设备的接收射频通道数和接收天线数确定的，该T个第一波 束帧中的第i个第一波束帧包括发送该第i个第一波束帧的发射天线的标识和发射扇区的标识，该T个第一波束帧用于该K个响应设备中第k个响应设备确定该发起设备的发射天线的扇区的质量，该T个第一波束帧为波束扫描SSW帧、短波束扫描SSSW包或信标beacon帧，K为大于1的正整数，k＝1、2、3……K，n为正整数，i＝1、2、3……T。
具体地，以图8为例，即发起设备向第一响应设备和第二响应设备发送T个第一波束帧，该第一波束帧用于第一响应设备和第二响应设备分别确定发起设备的的扇区质量。
在本发明实施例中，该S310复用现有技术中SLS阶段中的ISS阶段，用于多个响应设备中的每个响应设备各自训练发起设备的发射扇区。该方法300中的发起设备可以指首先发起波束训练的设备，具体地，该发起设备可以为图1中的AP/PCP；对应的响应设备指响应发起设备的对端，例如，当发起设备为如图1所示的AP/PCP时，响应设备可以为如图1所示的STA。
应理解，方法300应用于MU-MIMO场景中，即一个发起设备和多个响应设备之间的交互。具体的，对于MIMO的场景，响应设备的数目可以为一个或多个，响应设备的具体数目可以由发起设备确定，发起设备可以通过多个比特位表示响应设备的个数，例如，发起设备可以通过3bit表示最多8个响应设备参与波束训练。对于方法300的MU-MIMO场景，则发起设备指示至少两个响应设备参与波束训练，例如，图8以2个响应设备为例进行说明，对于MU-MIMO场景中超过两个的响应设备，其它响应设备都可以以图8中第一响应设备和第二响应设备中任意一个为例。
应理解，在发起设备向响应设备发送T个第一波束帧之前，该发起设备获取每个响应设备的接收射频通道数。对于MU-MIMO场景，每个响应设备可以具有一个或多个接收射频通道数以及一个或多个接收天线，多个响应设备的多个接收射频通道可以同时进行接收，提高波束训练的效率。发起设备根据获取的K个响应设备中每个响应设备的接收射频通道数和接收天线个数，确定出K个响应设备中接收天线数与接收射频通道数的比值的最大值，并根据该比值的最大值确定T个第一波束帧的个数，即T的具体取值。
具体的，每个响应设备可以通过接收射频通道数量的字段指示接收射频通道数量。例如，通过2bit直接指示该响应设备的接收射频通道数；或者，通过1bit指示该响应设备的接收射频通道数为1或者接收射频通道数等于接 收天线数目。可选地，发起设备获取响应设备的接收射频通道数，可以在初始阶段中通过接入时STA能力信息字段(STA Capability Information field)中保留比特携带接收射频通道数信息；也可以在波束控制字段(BF control)的保留比特中携带，本发明实施例并不限于此。
在本发明实施例中，现有技术中发起设备可以获得自身的发射扇区总数、响应设备的接收天线个数。对于支持MIMO的发起者和响应者之间的波束训练过程，发起设备获取K个响应设备中每个响应设备的接收射频通道数，并确定出K个响应设备中接收天线数与接收射频通道数的比值的最大值，则发起设备根据该比值最大值和自身的发射扇区总数，确定T个第一波束帧的个数，即T的取值。具体地，发起设备根据自身的发射天线的个数和每个发射天线包括的发射扇区的个数，确定自身发射扇区的总数，再根据获取得到K响应设备的接收射频通道数和接收天线数，确定K个响应设备中每个响应设备的接收天线数除以响应设备的接收射频通道数的商，从从中确定该商值的最大值，即确定K个响应设备中商值最大值＝max(第i个响应设备的接收天线的个数/第i个响应设备的接收射频通道的个数，i＝1,2,……,K)，则T个第一波束帧的个数等于发起设备的发射扇区总数乘以该商值最大值。可选地，当每个响应设备都满足接收天线数等于接收射频通道数时，则该发起设备确定的第一波束帧的个数等于该发起设备的自身发射扇区的总数。
例如，如图8所示的发起设备一共有3个发送天线，分别为天线0、1和2，其中天线0有4个扇区，而天线1有3个扇区，而天线2有5个扇区；而第一响应设备有2个接收天线，且有2个接收射频通道，第二响应设备有4个接收天线和2个射频通道，那么发起设备确定的第一波束帧的个数T＝(4+3+5)*(4/2)＝24。
可选地，该T个第一波束帧可以复用IEEE 802.11ad中SSW帧的结构，或者还可以为beacon帧，或者采用更优的SSW帧结构，例如SSSW包，用于节省波束训练开销，本发明实施例并不限于此。而对于发起设备确定的T个第一波束帧的个数，也可以称为该发起设备的总扇区数，可以通过SSW帧或beacon帧中的SSW feedback字段中的总扇区(Total sectors)子字段的值表示。
应理解，对于发起设备向K个响应设备发送的该T个第一波束帧，第i个第一波束帧包括发送该第i个第一波束帧的发射天线的标识以及发送该第 一波束帧的发射扇区的标识，以使得每个响应设备可以根据接收到的第一波束帧中包括的标识信息确定对应的发起设备的发射扇区的质量。
具体地，发起设备可以向K个响应设备逐个发送该T个第一波束帧中的每个第一波束帧。具体地，发起设备通过自身的多个发射扇区中的每个发射扇区，向响应设备逐个发送T个第一波束帧中的每个第一波束帧，即发起设备每次只通过一个发射扇区发送一个第一波束帧，而不同时通过多个发射扇区发送多个第一波束帧，该第一波束帧包括发送该第一波束帧的发射扇区的标识，以及该发射扇区所在天线的标识。而对于响应设备，每个响应设备都可以采用准全向的方式，同时接收发起设备发送的第一波束帧。
在本发明实施例中，发起设备向K个响应设备发送T个第一波束帧，每个响应设备根据接收到的第一波束帧中包括的天线标识和扇区标识，确定发起设备的发射扇区的质量。
在本发明实施例中，每个响应设备还可以确定发起设备的最优发射扇区向接收扇区发送的信号的SNR，以便于发起设备根据自身最优发射扇区的发送的信号的SNR，确定后续发送的帧结构的MCS，例如，发起者可以根据SNR确定后续的用于反馈信息的BRP帧的发送MCS，或者还可以根据SNR，确定后续训练波束时发送的BRP包中的训练字段的格式，进一步降低后缀训练字段中CE的开销，提高波束训练的效率。
可选地，每个响应设备还可以根据该T个第一波束帧确定自身的接收天线的接收扇区的质量。但考虑训练效率，可以在后续的BRP阶段再进行响应设备的接收扇区的训练。
S320，该发起设备接收该第k个响应设备发送的Uk个第二波束帧，该Uk个第二波束帧的个数由该第k个响应设备根据该第k个响应设备的至少一个发射天线的发射扇区的个数、以及该发起设备的接收射频通道数和接收天线数确定的，该Uk个第二波束帧中的第j个第二波束帧包括发送该第j个第二波束帧的发射天线的标识和发射扇区的标识、以及该第k个响应设备确定的对应于该第k个响应设备的该发起设备的最优发射扇区的标识和该最优发射扇区所在天线的标识，该Uk个第二波束帧为SSW帧或SSSW包，Uk为正整数，j＝1、2、3……Uk；该发起设备根据该Uk个第二波束帧，确定该第k个响应设备的发射天线的扇区的质量，并获取对应于该第k个响应设备的该发起设备的最优发射扇区。
例如，以图8为例，第一响应设备向发起设备发送U1个第二波束帧，用于发起设备确定该第一响应设备的发射扇区的质量，其中，每个第二波束帧包括发送该第二波束帧的该第一响应设备的发射天线的标识和发射扇区的标识；同样地，第二响应设备向发起设备发送U2个第二波束帧，用于发起设备确定该第二响应设备的发射扇区的质量，其中，每个第二波束帧包括发送该第二波束帧的该第二响应设备的发射天线的标识和发射扇区的标识。
应理解，该S320复用现有技术中SLS阶段中的RSS阶段，可以用于训练K个响应设备中每个响应设备的发射扇区。这里由于有K个响应设备，响应设备可以根据预定的规则确定训练资源的先后。例如可以根据响应设备的MAC(Meduim Access Control，媒体接入控制)地址的大小确定训练的顺序，也可以由发起设备指定K个响应设备训练资源的先后关系。
具体地，在第k个响应设备发送Uk个第二波束帧之前，该第k个响应设备可以获取发起设备的接收射频通道数，该发起设备可以具有多个接收射频通道数，则该第k个响应设备根据获取的发起设备的接收射频通道数，确定Uk个第二波束帧的个数，即Uk的具体取值。
具体地，发起设备可以将自身的接收射频通道数以及接收天线数通知给每个响应设备，每个响应设备确定发起设备的接收天线数除以接收射频通道数的商，该商值可以称为第二商值，则每个响应设备将自身的至少一个发射天线的发射扇区的总数乘以第二商值，即为第k个响应设备发送的Uk个第二波束帧中Uk的取值。可选地，该第k个响应设备确定Uk个第二波束帧的个数时，该第k个响应设备的至少一个发射天线可以指该响应设备的全部发射天线，也可以指该第k个响应设备的部分发射天线。可选地，当发起设备的接收天线数等于接收射频通道数时，则该第k个响应设备确定的Uk个第二波束帧的个数等于该第k个响应设备的自身发射扇区的总数。
应理解，由于发起设备向响应设备发送N个第一波束帧，可以用于每个响应设备确定自身的接收扇区的质量，例如，对于K个响应设备中任意一个响应设备的第一响应设备，该第一响应设备包括一个或多个接收射频通道，则第一响应设备可以对应的确定一个或多个优选接收天线，该优选发射天线的个数等于接收射频通道数。则第一响应设备在进行发射扇区训练时，根据天线的互易性，第一响应设备的优选接收天线即为优选发射天线，则第一响应设备只需训练该优选接收天线中的接收扇区，即第一响应设备确定U1个 第二波束帧时，U1等于该第一响应设备的至少一个优选发射天线的发射扇区的总数乘以第二商值。
可选地，当不满足天线的互易性时，第k个响应设备发送的第二波束帧的个数Uk等于响应设备将自身的多个发射天线的发射扇区的总数乘以发起设备接收天线数除以接收射频通道数的商。
可选地，该Uk个第二波束帧可以复用IEEE 802.11ad中SSW帧的结构，或者采用更优的SSW帧结构，例如还可以为短波束扫描SSSW包，用于节省波束训练开销，本发明实施例并不限于此。
应理解，对于第k个响应设备向发起设备发送的该Uk个第二波束帧，其中，第j个第二波束帧包括发送该第j个第二波束帧的第k个响应设备的发射天线的标识以及发送该第j个第二波束帧的发射扇区的标识，以使得发起设备可以根据接收到的第二波束帧中包括的标识信息确定对应的第k个响应设备的发射扇区的质量。
可选地，K个响应设备可以逐个向发起设备逐个发送第二波束帧。具体地，K个响应设备逐个发送第二波束帧，且对于第k个响应设备，可以通过自身的多个发射扇区中的每个发射扇区，向发起设备逐个发送Uk个第二波束帧中的每个第二波束帧，即每个响应设备每次通过一个发射扇区发送一个第二波束帧，而不同时通过多个发射扇区发送多个第二波束帧，该第二波束帧包括发送该第二波束帧的发射扇区的标识以及该发射扇区所在天线的标识。但是，对应的发起设备可以采用准全向的方式，采用多个射频通道同时接收第二波束帧。
应理解，第k个响应设备根据T个第一波束帧确定发起设备的发射扇区的质量，并可以将确定的质量结果通过该Uk个第二波束帧发送给发起设备。可选地，响应设备根据T个第一波束帧确定发起设备的多个发射扇区的质量，则该第k个响应设备通过发送的Uk个第二波束帧向发起设备发送与该第k个响应设备对应的该发起设备的多个优选发射扇区的标识以及每个优选发射扇区所在天线的标识。
但是由于响应设备到发起设备之间的波束并未对齐，数据速率很低，效率不高；另外，对于第二波束帧，一般可以在SSW Feedback字段中携带发起设备的优选发射扇区的信息，但该SSW Feedback字段只有7个保留比特，并不够传输多个发射天线标识和多个发射扇区的标识，因此，优选的方案为： 第k个响应设备可以根据T个第一波束帧确定发起设备的多个发射扇区中最优发射扇区，该Uk个第二波束帧中的每个第二波束帧均包括该第k个响应设备确定的与自身对应的发起设备的最优发射扇区的标识以及该最优发射扇区所在天线的标识，以便于发起设备可以根据K个响应设备中每个响应设备发送的第二波束帧，分别确定与K个响应设备中每个响应设备对应的该发起设备的最优发射扇区。
在本发明实施例中，第k个响应设备发送的该Uk个第二波束帧包括该第k个响应设备确定的发起设备的最优发射扇区的标识，另外，还可以包括该发起设备的最优发射扇区的SNR。
S330，该发起设备通过对应于该第k个响应设备的该发起设备的最优发射扇区，向该第k个响应设备发送第一反馈信息，该第一反馈信息用于指示该发起设备根据该Uk个第二波束帧确定的该第k个响应设备的至少一个优选发射天线的至少一个优选发射扇区。
这里由于有K个响应设备，发起设备可以根据预定的规则确定反馈资源的先后。原则可以和步骤S320中保持一致。
例如，以图8为例，发起设备通过第一响应设备确定的该发起设备的最优发射扇区，向第一响应设备发送第一反馈信息，该第一反馈信息用于指示该第一响应设备的至少一个优选发射天线的至少一个优选发射扇区。同样地，发起设备通过第二响应设备确定的该发起设备的最优发射扇区，向第二响应设备发送第一反馈信息，该第一反馈信息用于指示该第二响应设备的至少一个优选发射天线的至少一个优选发射扇区。
应理解，该S330位于SLS阶段中的SSW Feedback阶段，用于发起设备向K个响应设备分别反馈对应的响应设备的优选发射扇区。
应理解，发起设备发送该第一反馈信息之前，可以根据每个第二波束帧携带的该发起设备的最优发射扇区发送的信号的SNR，确定对应的第一反馈信息的MCS，并根据该第一反馈信息的MCS，确定该第一反馈信息。
可以理解的当SNR高时，第一反馈信息位于可以采用较高MCS进行传输，也更适合携带更多的信息。如果保持现有SSW Feedback帧的传输格式，即MCS0，一种优选的方式为发起设备通过第一反馈信息只反馈一个响应设备的最优发射扇区的标识以及该最优发射扇区所在天线的标识。如果SSW Feedback阶段采用MCS0以上的传输格式，则第一反馈信息可以指示一个响 应设备的多个优选发射天线的多个优选发射扇区。
应理解，当第一反馈信息反馈一个响应设备的多个优选发射天线的多个优选发射扇区时，与S130中发起设备反馈响应设备的多个优选发射天线的多个优选发射扇区的方式相同，也与S140中响应设备向发起设备反馈发起设备的多个优选发射天线的多个优选发射扇区的方式相同，在此不再赘述。
S340，该发起设备接收该第k个响应设备通过该第k个响应设备的最优发射扇区发送的第二反馈信息，该第二反馈信息用于指示与该第k个响应设备对应的该发起设备的至少一个优选发射天线的至少一个优选发射扇区，该每个响应设备确定的该发起设备的多个优选发射天线的个数等于该发起设备的发射射频通道的个数。这里由于有K个响应设备，多个响应设备可以根据预定的规则确定反馈资源的先后。原则可以和步骤S320中保持一致。
例如，以图8为例，该发起设备接收第一响应设备通过第一响应设备的最优发射扇区发送的第二反馈信息，该第二反馈信息用于指示该第一响应设备确定的该发起设备的至少一个优选发射天线的至少一个优选发射扇区，同样地，第二响应设备通过该第二响应设备的最优发射扇区向发起设备发送第二反馈信息，该第二反馈信息用于指示该第二响应设备确定的该发起设备的至少一个优选发射天线的至少一个优选发射扇区。
应理解，该S340可以位于SLS阶段中的SSW Ack阶段中，即在ISS和RSS训练完成后，用于K个响应设备中每个向发起设备反馈该每个响应设备确定的发起设备的优选发射扇区，并且，S330和S340，还可以复用现有技术中的SSW Feedback和SSW Ack阶段，通过反馈信息中的BRP Request字段，互相协商是否存在MID和BC阶段。也可以有独立的MU-MIMO的MID和BC阶段参数的协商过程。
另外，S330和S340也可以位于SLS阶段结束后，通过BRP帧来携带发起设备或响应设备的多个优选发射天线的多个优选发射扇区。
在本发明实施例中，在每个响应设备向发起设备发送第二反馈信息之前，每个响应设备可以根据各自接收的第一反馈信息中携带的响应设备的最优发射扇区发送的信号的SNR，确定该第二反馈信息的MCS，根据该第二反馈信息的MCS，确定该第二反馈信息。
具体地，如果保持现有SSW Feedback帧的传输格式，即MCS0，一种优选的方式为发起设备通过第一反馈信息只反馈响每个应设备的最优发射 扇区的标识以及该最优发射扇区所在天线的标识，同样的，每个响应设备通过第二反馈信息也只反馈发起设备的最优发射扇区的标识以及该最优发射扇区所在天线的标识。
但是，当SNR高时，第一反馈信息和第二反馈信息也可以采用较高MCS进行传输，也更适合携带更多的信息。因此，该S340中发起设备反馈第一反馈信息指示每个响应设备的多个优选发射天线的多个优选发射扇区的方式，与S130中发起设备反馈响应设备的多个优选发射天线的多个优选发射扇区的方式相同，也与S140中响应设备向发起设备反馈发起设备的多个优选发射天线的多个优选发射扇区的方式相同，在此不再赘述。
应理解，第k个响应设备为K个响应设备中的任意一个响应设备，该第k个响应设备可以根据第一波束帧确定该第k个响应设备对应的发起设备的发射扇区的质量，但在该第一反馈信息中，可以只向发起设备反馈该发起设备的最优发射扇区，而将其它优选发射扇区的测量结果进行保存，以便于在后续BRP阶段通过其它方式向发起设备反馈发起设备的多个优选发射天线以及多个优选发射扇区。同样地，发起设备可以根据第二波束帧确定的该第k个响应设备的发射扇区的质量，也通过第二反馈帧反馈该响应设备的最优发射扇区，而将第k个响应设备的其他优选发射扇区的结果进行保存，以便于在后续BRP阶段通过其它方式向该第k个响应设备反馈该第k个响应设备的多个优选发射天线以及多个优选发射扇区。
因此，本发明实施例的MU-MIMO技术中训练波束的方法，针对MU-MIMO的应用场景，发起设备向多个响应设备发送波束帧，训练获得发起设备中对应于每个响应设备的优选发射天线；多个响应设备发送波束帧，训练获得每个响应设备的优选发射天线，从而实现具有多个发射射频通道的发起设备和多个具有一个或多个发射射频通道的响应设备的发射波束训练过程。
图9示出了根据本发明另一实施例的MU-MIMO技术中训练波束的方法400的示意性流程图。该方法400应用于MU-MIMO场景中，即针对单个发起设备与多个响应设备之间的波束训练，例如，图9以一个发起设备和两个响应设备为例进行说明。具体地，该方法400可以对应于现有技术中SLS阶段和BRP阶段，如图9所示，该方法400具体包括：
S401，发起设备向K个响应设备发送T个第一波束帧，该T个第一波 束帧的个数由该发起设备根据该发起设备的发射扇区总数、以及该K个响应设备中每个响应设备的接收射频通道数和接收天线数确定的，该T个第一波束帧中的第i个第一波束帧包括发送该第i个第一波束帧的发射天线的标识和发射扇区的标识，该T个第一波束帧用于该K个响应设备中第k个响应设备确定该发起设备的发射天线的扇区的质量，该T个第一波束帧为波束扫描SSW帧、短波束扫描SSSW包或信标beacon帧，K为大于1的正整数，k＝1、2、3……K，n为正整数，i＝1、2、3……T。
具体地，以图8为例，即发起设备向第一响应设备和第二响应设备发送T个第一波束帧，该第一波束帧用于第一响应设备和第二响应设备分别确定发起设备的的扇区质量。
S402，该发起设备接收该第k个响应设备发送的Uk个第二波束帧，该Uk个第二波束帧的个数由该第k个响应设备根据该第k个响应设备的至少一个发射天线的发射扇区的个数、以及该发起设备的接收射频通道数和接收天线数确定的，该Uk个第二波束帧中的第j个第二波束帧包括发送该第j个第二波束帧的发射天线的标识和发射扇区的标识、以及该第k个响应设备确定的对应于该第k个响应设备的该发起设备的最优发射扇区的标识和该最优发射扇区所在天线的标识，该Uk个第二波束帧为SSW帧或SSSW包，Uk为正整数，j＝1、2、3……Uk；该发起设备根据该Uk个第二波束帧，确定该第k个响应设备的发射天线的扇区的质量，并获取对应于该第k个响应设备的该发起设备的最优发射扇区。
例如，以图8为例，第一响应设备向发起设备发送U1个第二波束帧，用于发起设备确定该第一响应设备的发射扇区的质量，其中，每个第二波束帧包括发送该第二波束帧的该第一响应设备的发射天线的标识和发射扇区的标识；同样地，第二响应设备向发起设备发送U2个第二波束帧，用于发起设备确定该第二响应设备的发射扇区的质量，其中，每个第二波束帧包括发送该第二波束帧的该第二响应设备的发射天线的标识和发射扇区的标识。
S403，该发起设备通过对应于该第k个响应设备的该发起设备的最优发射扇区，向该第k个响应设备发送第一反馈信息，该第一反馈信息用于指示该发起设备根据该Uk个第二波束帧确定的该第k个响应设备的至少一个优选发射天线的至少一个优选发射扇区。
例如，以图8为例，发起设备通过第一响应设备确定的该发起设备的最 优发射扇区，向第一响应设备发送第一反馈信息，该第一反馈信息用于指示该第一响应设备的至少一个优选发射天线的至少一个优选发射扇区。同样地，发起设备通过第二响应设备确定的该发起设备的最优发射扇区，向第二响应设备发送第一反馈信息，该第一反馈信息用于指示该第二响应设备的至少一个优选发射天线的至少一个优选发射扇区。
S404，该发起设备接收该第k个响应设备通过该第k个响应设备的最优发射扇区发送的第二反馈信息，该第二反馈信息用于指示与该第k个响应设备对应的该发起设备的至少一个优选发射天线的至少一个优选发射扇区，该K个响应设备确定的该发起设备的多个优选发射天线的个数等于该发起设备的发射射频通道的个数。
例如，以图8为例，该发起设备接收第一响应设备通过第一响应设备的最优发射扇区发送的第二反馈信息，该第二反馈信息用于指示该第一响应设备确定的该发起设备的至少一个优选发射天线的至少一个优选发射扇区，同样地，第二响应设备通过该第二响应设备的最优发射扇区向发起设备发送第二反馈信息，该第二反馈信息用于指示该第二响应设备确定的该发起设备的至少一个优选发射天线的至少一个优选发射扇区。
应理解，该方法400中的S401至S404分别对应方法300中的S310-S340，在此不再赘述。
S405，该发起设备通过该发起设备的多个优选发射天线，向该K个响应设备发送至少一个第三波束帧，该至少一个第三波束帧用于该第k个响应设备确定该第k个响应设备的至少一个优选接收扇区与该发起设备的多个优选发射天线的多个优选发射扇区中的至少一个扇区之间的至少一种候选组合对应关系，该至少一个第三波束帧为波形优化BRP帧。
应理解，在S401-S404中，发起设备与响应设备仅进行了发射扇区的训练，并未进行接收扇区的训练。而该S405位于BRP阶段的MID与BC阶段，用于确定每个响应设备的至少一个优选接收扇区与该发起设备的多个优选发射扇区之间的至少一种候选组合对应关系。
和SISO的情况不同，这里确定的组合对应关系，是发起设备的多个发射天线和多个响应设备的接收天线间的组合。
因此在发射BRP包时，和SISO的情况不同。SISO阶段，发起者和响应者可以通过协商Nbeam(I，TX)，Nbeam(I，RX)，确定BC阶段包括发 起者发送Nbeam(I，TX)个BRP-RX帧，每个BRP-RX会携带发射天线采用的扇区标识，并且每个BRP-RX后缀了Nbeam(I，RX)的TRN-R子字段。由于这个时候发射天线已经确定下来了，因此不需要携带发射天线标识。
而对于MIMO的情况,由于需要为每个天线选择最优的扇区，即确定模拟波束，因此，在MIMO阶段，每个BRP-RX包中除了通过BRP包中的TRN子字段的顺序关系携带发射扇区标识，还需要携带发射天线标识。
可选地，在该S405中，该发起设备通过该发起设备的多个优选发射天线，向K响应设备发送至少一个第三波束帧，该至少一个第三波束帧可以用于每个响应设备直接确定自身的至少一个优选接收扇区与该发起设备的多个优选发射扇区中至少一个优选发射扇区之间的至少一种候选组合对应关系，即S405可以对应MID-BC阶段联合的情况；可选地，该S405也可以分为MID和BC两个分开的阶段，该至少一个第三波束帧也可以只用来确定每个响应设备的至少一个优选接收扇区，即对应MID阶段，发起设备再向该响应设备发送至少一个第四波束帧，该至少一个第四波束帧用于每个响应设备确定自身的至少一个优选接收扇区与该发起设备的多个优选发射扇区中至少一个优选发射扇区之间的至少一种候选组合对应关系，即对应BC阶段。
在本发明实施例中，对于MID-BC阶段联合的情况，即K个响应设备中的每个响应设备根据该至少一个第三波束帧直接确定自身的至少一个优选接收扇区与该发起设备的多个优选发射扇区中至少一个优选接收扇区之间的至少一种候选组合对应关系。具体地，发起设备通过自身的每个优选发射扇区，向K个响应设备发送该至少一个第三波束帧，该至少一个第三波束帧的个数可以等于该发起设备的优选发射天线的个数，即发起设备通过一个优选发射扇区发送一个第三波束帧，该第三波束帧包括发送该第三波束帧的天线的标识。可选地，该第三波束帧可以为BRP帧。
可选地，该第三波束帧可以为BRP帧，则该第三波束帧中可以不包括发送该第三波束帧的扇区的标识，而只包括发送该第三波束帧的天线的标识，发起设备通过自身的优选发射天线的优选发射扇区发送该第三波束帧。K个响应设备中的每个响应设备通过自身的接收扇区，接收发起设备发送的该第三波束帧，从而确定每个响应设备的至少一个优选接收扇区与发起设备的多个优选发射扇区中至少一个优选发射扇区之间的至少一种候选组合对应关系，例如，第k个响应设备根据该至少一个第三波束可以确定该第k个 响应设备的至少一个优选接收扇区与该发起设备的多个优选发射扇区中的至少一个扇区之间的至少一种候选组合对应关系，该第k个响应设备可以指K个响应设备中的任意一个响应设备。
在本发明实施例中，对于MID和BC为两个分开的阶段的情况，即每个响应设备先根据第三波束帧确定自身的至少一个优选接收扇区，再根据第四波束帧确定自身的至少一个优选接收扇区与该发起设备的多个优选发射扇区中至少一个优选发射扇区之间的至少一种候选组合对应关系。具体地，对于MID阶段，发起设备可以采取准全向的发送方式，向K个响应设备发送至少一个第三波束帧，则K个响应设备中的第k个响应设备通过自身的接收扇区接收该至少一个第三波束帧，从而根据该至少一个第三波束帧确定第k个响应设备的优选接收扇区，该第k个响应设备分别取K个响应设备中的每个响应设备。对于BC阶段，发起设备通过自身的每个优选发射扇区向响应设备发送至少一个第四波束帧，第k个响应设备通过自身的优选接收扇区接收该至少一个第四波束帧，以便于第k个响应设备根据该至少一个第四波束帧，确定该第k个响应设备的至少一个优选接收扇区与发起设备的多个优选发射扇区中至少一个优选发射扇区之间的至少一种候选组合对应关系。
具体地，在MID阶段，发起设备可以采取准全向的发送方式向K响应设备发送至少一个第三波束，以便于每个响应设备在MID阶段，根据该至少一个第三波束帧，确定自身的优选接收天线以及每个优选接收天线的优选接收扇区，其中，每个响应设备的接收射频通道数等于优选接收天线数，且这里假设每个优选接收天线包括的优选接收扇区的个数均为Nbeam(I，RX)，并且，每个响应设备可以通过向发起设备发送的第三反馈信息，指示该自身的多个优选接收天线中优选接收扇区的个数为Nbeam(I，RX)，可选地，若对于任意一个响应设备，该响应设备的每个优选接收天线包括的优选接收扇区个数不相等时，则该第三反馈信息用于指示该响应设备的多个优选接收天线中包括的优选扇区个数最大值Nbeam(I，RX)。由于MIMO的情况下，多个响应设备的接收通道可以同时训练，因此，发起设备发送波束帧训练多种组合对应关系时，仅需要指示该K个响应设备的多个优选接收天线中包括的优选扇区个数最大值Nbeam(I，RX)，以最大值为准。
那么，在BC阶段，由于发起设备根据该第三反馈信息，确定出K个响应设备中优选接收天线中包括优选接收扇区的最大值Nbeam(I，RX)，例 如，假设每个响应设备的每个优选发射天线均包括Nbeam(I，RX)个优选发射扇区，而发起设备的每个发射射频通道波束个数为Nbeam(I，TX)，则发起设备可以确定每个发射射频通道发送Nbeam(I，TX)个BRP-RX帧，即至少一个第四波束帧，且每个BRP-RX帧中会携带优选发射扇区标识以及该优选发射扇区所在天线的标识；每个BRP-RX帧中还包括Nbeam(I，RX)个TRN-R子字段，以便于K响应设备的多个接收射频通道可以同时接收BRP-RX帧，从而训练多个波束组合使得第k个响应设备获得该第k个响应设备的至少一个优选接收扇区与该发起设备的多个优选发射扇区中的至少一个扇区之间的至少一种候选组合对应关系。
应理解，对于MID-BC阶段联合的情况，或者对于MID和BC阶段分开的情况中BC的阶段，在确定该至少一种候选组合对应关系时，由于发起设备可以有多个发射射频通道，且有多个响应设备，每个响应设备有至少一个接收射频通道，因此可以采用发起设备逐个发射射频通道进行训练，即发起设备的多个发射射频通道每次只训练其中一个，对应的多个响应设备的接收射频通道可以同时接收；可选地，发起设备还可以采用同时训练的方式训练波束组合，即发起设备的多个发射射频通道同时发送用于训练的第三波束帧，而多个响应设备的接收射频通道也同时进行接收，本发明实施例并不限于此。
应理解，对于第k个响应设备的至少一个优选接收扇区与该发起设备的多个优选发射扇区中的至少一个扇区之间的至少一种候选组合对应关系，该至少一种候选组合对应关系包括：发起设备包括至少一个优选发射天线，且该优先发射天线的个数小于或者等于该发起设备的发射射频通道数，每个优选发射天线还包括至少一个优选发射扇区，即该发起设备可以包括至少一个优选发射扇区；同样的，第k个响应设备包括至少一个优选接收天线，且该优先接收天线的个数等于该第k个响应设备的接收射频通道数，每个优选接收天线还包括至少一个优选接收扇区，即该响应设备可以包括至少一个优选接收扇区，将发起设备的至少一个优选发射扇区与第k个响应设备的至少一个优选接收扇区进行一一对应，则可以获得发起设备的至少一个优选发射扇区与第k个响应设备的至少一个优选接收扇区之间一种组合对应关系。由于发起设备的至少一个优选发射扇区和第k个响应设备的至少一个优选接收扇区之间的对应关系也可以有至少一种，即发起设备的至少一个优选发射扇区 与响应设备的至少一个优选接收扇区之间可以具有至少一种候选组合对应关系。因此，对于K个响应设备中的每个响应设备都可以确定各自与发起设备的至少一种候选组合对应关系。
S406，该发起设备接收该第k个响应设备发送的第一指示信息，该第一指示信息用于指示该至少一种候选组合对应关系；该发起设备根据该K个响应设备发送的K个该第一指示信息，确定该发起设备的多个优选发射扇区与该K个响应设备的多个优选接收扇区之间的P种组合对应关系。
例如，图8中第一响应设备向发起设备发送第一指示信息，该第一指示信息用于指示该第一响应设备确定的该第一响应设备的至少一个优选接收扇区与发起设备的至少一个优选发射扇区之间的至少一种候选组合对应关系，同样地，第二响应设备向发起设备发送的第一指示信息用于指示该第二响应设备确定的该第二响应设备的至少一个优选接收扇区与发起设备的至少一个优选发射扇区之间的至少一种候选组合对应关系，则发起设备可以根据该第一响应设备和第二响应设备发送的第一指示信息，确定该发起设备的多个优选发射扇区与两个响应设备的多个优选接收扇区之间的P种组合对应关系。
在本发明实施例中，对于MU-MIMO的情况下，由于每个响应设备无法获得其他响应设备的扇区训练信息，因此，响应设备只能确定自身的优选接收扇区和发起设备的优选发射扇区之间的对应关系，而无法选择出K个响应设备的多个发射天线组合。因此，每个响应设备需要将自己测量获得的至少一种候选组合对应关系发送至发起设备，即第k个响应设备向发起设备发送的第一指示信息可以包括：第k个响应设备测量获得的发起设备的质量较好的优选发射天线标识和扇区标识，以及对应的自身的优选接收天线标识和接收扇区标识。可选地，该第一指示信息还可以包括信号质量，该信号质量可以包括信号强度或信号的信噪比，该第一指示信息还可以包括第k个响应设备反馈的信道状态信息。则发起者根据预定的准则，如SINR准则或信道容量最大准则，确定在MU-MIMO时，该发起设备的多个优选发射扇区与两个响应设备的多个优选接收扇区之间的P种组合对应关系。
S407，该发起设备根据该P种组合对应关系，向该第k个响应设备发送第二指示信息，该第二指示信息用于指示该P种组合对应关系中该第k个响应设备的P个优选接收扇区组合，该P种组合对应关系中的一种组合对应关 系包括该发起设备的P个优选发射扇区组合中的一个优选发射扇区组合以及对应的该K个响应设备中每个响应设备的一个优选接收扇区组合之间的组合对应关系。
在本发明实施例中，对于P种组合对应关系中的任意一种组合对应关系包括：发起设备的多个优选发射扇区和K个响应设备中每个响应设备的至少一个优选接收扇区之间的对应关系，则P种组合对应关系中每个响应设备对应包括P种优选接收扇区组合，该发起设备通过向每个响应设备发送第二指示信息，指示各个响应设备对应于P种组合对应关系的P个优选接收扇区组合，即向第k个响应设备发送的第二指示信息用于指示该第k个响应设备在P种组合对应关系中的P个优选接收扇区组合。具体的，P个优选接收扇区组合反馈包括多个优选接收天线的最优扇区标识的组合，以及接收天线扇区组合对应的天线标识。
应理解，上述S405至S407进行波束对训练的过程，发起设备和K个响应设备的射频通道都可以采用同时训练的方式，训练获得上述P种组合对应关系。或者，发起设备也可以通过每个发射射频通道逐个进行训练，则每个响应设备可以根据预定的准则，如SINR准则或信道容量最大准则，确定在MIMO时的信道矩阵，该信道矩阵的维度为接收射频通道数乘以发射射频通道数。每个响应设备可以将确定的信道矩阵发送至发起设备，发起设备可以确定与K个响应设备的CSI以及MU-MIMO情况下的信道矩阵。
可选地，对于上述发起设备通过每个发射射频通道逐个进行训练的情况，与实际MIMO的应用情况不符，因此，可以继续进行S408，继续对确定的发起设备的多个优选发射扇区与K响应设备的多个优选接收扇区之间P种组合对应关系进行波束训练，从而获得MIMO情况下的CSI以及P种组合对应关系中的最优组合对应关系。而对于发起设备和响应设备在S405至S407中已经采用多个射频通道同时训练的情况，可以不继续执行S408，而直接确定出发起设备的多个优选发射扇区与K响应设备的多个优选接收扇区之间最优组合对应关系以及MIMO情况下的CSI。
另外，对于MIMO的场景，引入了多信道发射，即MIMO的信道带宽大于SISO场景的信道带宽。在上述步骤通过BRP帧进行P种组合对应关系的波束训练过程中，可以在单个信道上进行。具体地，在S405至S407中采用的BRP包进行波束训练的过程，该BRP包可以采用单信道的训练方式， 即第三波束帧和第四波束帧的训练字段占用部分信道，例如图6所示，训练字段占用的信道带宽小于数据信道。但是根据实际应用情况，需要在多信道的带宽上进行训练，即在波束训练时，训练字段占用的信道带宽与数据字段相等。因此，在S405至S407中的波束训练过程，BRP包采用单信道的训练方式进行训练后，需要继续执行S408，通过占用多信道的训练字段进行训练，并获得对应的信道矩阵和信道状态信息。
S408，发起设备与K个响应设备进行波束对训练，确定发起设备的优选发射扇区与K个响应设备的优选接收扇区之间的P种组合对应关系中的最优组合对应关系。
具体地，发起设备确定P种组合对应关系中发起设备的P个优选发射扇区组合(Tx1,Tx2,……,TxP)。例如，发起设备可以包括多个发射射频通道，则发起设备确定的P个优选发射扇区组合中任意一个优选发射扇区组合Txi中包括的优选发射扇区个数等于发射射频通道的个数，i＝1,2,3,……,P。
发起设备可以向该K个响应设备中每个响应设备发送第一请求信息，该第一请求信息用于指示该K个响应设备根据该P种组合对应关系进行波束训练。具体地，K个响应设备可以根据该第一请求信息以及发起设备发送的第二指示信息，确定P种组合对应关系中K个响应设备对应的P个优选接收扇区组合(Rx1，Rx2，..,RxP)，其中，K个响应设备的P个优选接收扇区组合中任意一个优选发射扇区组合Rxi中包括：K个响应设备中每个响应设备的一个优选接收扇区组合，例如图8所示，任意一个优选发射扇区组合Rxi中包括：第一响应设备的一个优选接收扇区组合和第二响应设备的一个优选接收扇区组合，其中，第一响应设备的的一个优选接收扇区组合中扇区的个数等于接收射频通道的个数，第二响应设备的一个优选接收扇区组合中扇区的个数等于接收射频通道的个数，i＝1,2,3,……,P。
应理解，该P种组合关系中的任意一种组合对应关系包括：K个响应设备构成的该P个优选接收扇区组合中一个优选发射扇区组合Rxi，以及对应的该发起设备的P个优选发射扇区组合中一个优选发射扇区组合Txi之间的组合对应关系。
在发送该第一请求信息后，该发起设备通过该发起设备的P种优选发射扇区组合中每个优选发射扇区组合，同时向该K个响应设备发送至少一个第五波束帧，其中，该至少一个第五波束帧中可以如图7所示，即该至少一个 第五波束帧中每个波束帧的训练字段的信道带宽等于该每个第五波束帧中数据字段的信道带宽，且该每个第五波束帧包括发送该每个第五波束帧的该发起设备的优选发射扇区组合的标识Txi和对应的K个响应设备的优选接收扇区的组合标识Rxi，以便于该第k个响应设备在该P种组合对应关系中确定至少一种优选的组合对应关系、以及该至少一种优选的组合对应关系中每种优选的组合对应关系的信道状态信息，该信道状态信息用于指示该每种优选的组合对应关系的信道矩阵；
该发起设备接收该第k个响应设备发送的第三指示信息，该第三指示信息用于指示该第k个响应设备确定的该至少一种优选的组合对应关系，该发起设备根据该K个响应设备发送的K个该第三指示信息，确定该P种组合对应关系中的最优的组合对应关系，该最优的组合对应关系包括该发起设备的一个优选发射扇区组合和该K个响应设备中每个响应设备的一个优选接收扇区组合之间的对应关系，该至少一个第五波束帧为BRP帧。
可选地，该发起设备还可以向K个响应设备中的第k个响应设备发送第四指示信息，该第四指示信息用于指示该最优的组合对应关系中该第k个响应设备的一个优选接收扇区组合。
应理解，在S408中，发起设备采用多个发射射频通道同时训练的方式，即多天线同时训练的方式，发起设备可以采用码分方式通过对应的多个扇区发射训练包。其中，码分发送多天线的训练字段，可以采用不同的天线采用不同正交训练字段同时发送；也可以采用不同的天线采用不同的正交掩码，相同的训练字段同时发送；还可以采用正交掩码和正交序列结合的方式，实现多个发射天线同时发送。另外，由于此时的收发天线采用的都是较好的发射波束，因此，不会再出现超过接收机动态范围的情况。
因此，本发明实施例的MU-MIMO技术中训练波束的方法，针对具有多个响应设备的MU-MIMO的应用场景，通过发起设备和多个响应设备分别发送的波束帧，训练获得该发起设备的优选发射扇区和每个响应设备的优选接收扇区，并进一步训练获得该发起设备的优选发射扇区和每个响应设备的优选接收扇区之间的组合对应关系，从而实现具有多个发射射频通道的发起设备和多个具有一个或多个接收射频通道的响应设备在MU-MIMO的应用场景下的波束对训练过程。
应理解，在本发明的各种实施例中，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。
上文中结合图1至图9，详细描述了根据本发明实施例的训练波束的方法，下面将结合图10至图17，描述根据本发明实施例的训练波束的装置。

可选地，该M个第二波束帧中每个第二波束帧包括该发起设备的最优 发射扇区发送的信号的信噪比SNR；该发送单元510具体用于：当该确定单元530确定该响应设备的动态范围小于该发起设备的最优发射扇区发送的信号的SNR时，通过该发起设备的多个优选发射天线，同时向该响应设备发送该至少一个第三波束帧；当该确定单元530确定该响应设备的动态范围大于或者等于该发起设备的最优发射扇区发送的信号的SNR时，通过该发起设备的多个优选发射天线中每个优选发射天线，向该响应设备逐个发送至少一个第三波束帧。
