具体实施方式
下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图,对本公开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公开一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
本实施例提供一种波束信息获取方法,应用于网络侧设备中,该网络侧设备可为基站等接入网的网络侧设备。所述基站具体可为5G基站(gNB)。如图1所示,所述方法具体可包括:
步骤S110:向终端发送配置信息,其中,所述配置信息包括上报类型标识、上报偏移量、信息上报标识、波束质量上报开关标识中的至少一项。
步骤S120:接收所述终端基于所述配置信息上报的波束信息。
其中,所述上报类型标识,用于指示至少两种波束信息是否一起上报,其中,所述至少两种所述波束信息包括:波束的资源标识及波束质量信息;所述资源标识包括:发送资源标识和/或接收资源标识,所述发送资源标识,用于供终端区分网络侧的发送波束;所述接收资源标识,用于供所述网络侧设备区分所述终端检测所述发送波束的接收波束;所述波束质量信息为所述终端对所述发送波束测量形成表征所述发送波束的波束质量的信息;所述上报偏移量,用于指示所述至少两种波束信息一起上报时,在上报资源上的偏移量;所述信息上报标识,用于当所述资源标识和所述波束质量信息分别上报时,指示所述资源标识或所述波束质量信息的上报;所述波束质量上报开关标识,用于当所述资源标识和所述波束质量信息一起上报时,指示所述终端开始或停止所述波束质量信息的上报。
在本实施例中所述网络侧设备在从终端接收波束信息之前,会自动形成或从其他设备接收配置信息,并将该配置信息发送给终端。
在本实施例中所述配置信息,为基站自身配置或核心网的网络侧设备配置的,用于控制终端上报波束信息的相关信息。这里的核心网的网络侧设备可包括:移动管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,MME)等的网络侧设备。若所述配置信息为非基站自身配置的,则是所述基站从其他网络侧设备处接收的。当然,所述配置信息也可以是所述基站从人机交互接口接收的。
在步骤S110中所述网络侧设备会将所述配置信息发送给终端。在本实施例中所述网络侧设备可以通过各种发送方式发送给终端,在本实施中所述网 络侧设备可以通过单播信令发送给所述终端。例如,所述基站通过无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令、媒体接入控制(Media Access Control,MAC)层控制单元(Control Element,CE)及物理层下行控制指示(Downlink Control Indicator,DCI)中的至少一项,发送所述配置信息。这样的话,需要进行基站的发送波束进行发现和/或测量的终端就会接收到该配置信息。
在一些实施例中,例如,基站会利用MAC层CE和RRC信令这两条信令分别承载一部分所述配置信息,下发给终端。
在一些实施例中所述RRC信令、MAC层CE及物理层DCI可为5G规范中规定的新空口(New Radio,NR)RRC信令、NR MAC层CE及NR物理层DCI。当然,这些RRC信令、MAC层CE、物理层DCI不局限于5G中相对于4G及4G以前的移动通信新增的接口,还可以是4G、3G甚至未来更新一代接口的RRC信令、MAC层CE或物理层DCI等。
在本实施例中令MAC层CE、RRC信令或DCI携带所述配置信息,复用了相关技术中的信令向终端发送所述配置信息,这样就不用额外设计专门发送所述配置信息的专用信令,与现有通信技术具有兼容性强的特点。
当终端接收到所述配置信息之后,会根据所述配置信息上报波束信息。故在本实施例的步骤S120中,所述网络侧设备会接收到终端上报的波束信息。这里终端上报的波束信息可包括终端检测到的波束的资源标识和波束质量信息的至少一个。这里的资源标识可为发送资源标识,也可以是接收资源标识。发送资源标识是基站给自身发射的波束的标识。而接收资源标识是终端自身利用哪一个波束检测到基站发射的波束的资源标识。通常情况下发送波束和接收波束是有对应关系的,且是被相互通信的基站和终端所共知的。故在一些实施例中,若终端上报自身检测基站发射的波束时采用的接收波束的接收资源标识,则基站可以根据该接收资源标识,确定出终端检测的是自身发射的哪一个发送波束。在本实施例中终端上报的所述波束信息可包括基站的发送波束的资源标识和/或波束质量信息。
在一些实施例中,基站向终端发送波束之前,会先告知其发送的波束的发送资源标识。这样的话,后续终端接收到基站的发送波束时,就可以知道该发送波束的发送资源标识了。
在还有一些实施例中,当基站发射了一个波束时,该波束上可携带有该波束的发送资源标识,该发送资源标识可用于区分该波束与基站的其他波束。若终端检测到了该波束,就可以从该波束中提取出其发送资源标识。若终端向网络侧设备上报的波束信息中包括一个或多个发送资源标识,可认为终端在当前位置可以检测到其上报的一个或多个发送资源标识对应的波束,故这些波束可以用于所述网络侧设备向终端发送信息。
在一些实施例中所述终端在检测基站发射的波束时,可能是利用终端自身的接收波束进行盲检,则终端可以根据基站的发送波束和终端自身的接收波束的对应关系,确定出当前检测的是哪一个发送波束,从而获得该发送波束的发送资源标识。
终端在确定出自身检测的发送波束或用于检测的接收波束之后,就可以将发送波束的发送资源标识和/或接收波束的接收资源标识,作为波束的资源标识,上报给网络侧如基站等网络侧设备。
在本实施例中所述发送资源标识,具体可为:信道状态信息参考信号资源标识(Channel State Information Reference Signal Resource Indicator,CRI)、基站天线端口标识。在一些实施例中,所述发送资源标识还可以是多个标识信息的组合,例如,所述发送资源标识可为基站天线端口与波束的发送时隙标识的组合。在一些实施例中,所述发送资源标识还可以是其他与其有唯一对应关系的信息来指示,例如,波束对应的参考信号的序列标识。
在本实施例中所述接收资源标识,可具体为:信道状态信息参考信号资源标识、终端天线端口标识。在一些实施例中,所述接收资源标识还可以是多个标识信息的组合,例如,所述接收资源标识可为终端天线端口与波束的发接收时隙标识或接收符号标识的组合。
在一些实施例中所述波束信息还可包括波束质量信息,在本实施例中终端不仅会检测或发现基站的发送波束,同时还会监测终端检测到的波束的波束质量信息。在本实施例中所述波束质量信息,可为指示终端检测到对应波束的接收强度或接收质量的信息,比如,波束的接收功率或信噪比等各种质量参数;具体可如参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Receiving Power,RSRP),信道状态信息(Channel State Information,CSI)。
在本实施例中所述配置信息包括上报类型标识。这里的上报类型标识,用于指示至少两种波束信息是否一起上报。在本实施例中的一起上报是这两种波束信息是终端一次性上报的信息,而非分两次或两次以上的次数上报的信息。
在本实施例中所述上报类型标识,可至少用于指示是否一起上报资源标识和波束质量信息一起上报,或分别上报资源标识和波束质量信息。
在本实施例中还包括上报偏移量,在本实施例中所述上报偏移量可为:时域资源偏移量和/或频域资源偏移量。在本实施例中所述上报资源为所述终端用于上报波束信息的时频资源。
在本实施例中所述上报偏移量,可用于指示当至少两种所述波束信息一起上报时,即所述至少两种波束信息一次性上报时,两种波束信息的上报资源的偏移量。具体可如,所述上报偏移量,可用于指示所述资源标识和波束质量信息的偏移符号数、偏移时隙数和/或偏移子帧数。这里的偏移符号数为:承载资源标识和波束质量信息的资源之间差的传输符号个数。所述偏移时隙数为:承载资源标识和波束质量信息的资源之间差的时隙个数。所述偏移子帧数为:承载资源标识和波束质量信息的资源之间差的子帧个数。这里的传输符号可包括:正交频分多路复用技术(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)符号等。
所述上报偏移量,还可以是频域资源的偏移量,例如,偏移载波数等。例如,资源标识和波束质量信息承载在不同的载波上发送给基站。但是这两个载波可能是终端同时发送的两个载波。
在本实施例中所述信息上报标识,用于当分别上报资源标识和波束质量信息时,指示资源标识和/或波束质量信息的上报。
例如,在一些场景下,例如基站等网络侧设备知道当前自己发射的发送波束的资源标识,仅需要终端上报终端检测到发送波束的波束质量信息即可。在一些场景中,所述基站可能会同时发射多个发送波束,需要看终端可以检测到哪些波束,则仅需要终端上报资源标识即可。故在本实施例中基站可以根据当前需求,指示终端上报资源标识或波束质量信息。
但是在另一些场景中,网络侧设备希望终端既上报资源标识,也上报波 束质量信息,但是时分别单独上报的,则也可以通过所述信息上报标识来指示。例如,所述信息上报标识可包括两个比特,这两个比特包括“00”、“01”、“10”及“11”,这4种状态中三个用于指示仅上报资源标识、仅上报波束质量信息、分别上报资源标识和波束质量信息。当然在所述上报类型标识指示资源标识和波束质量信息同时上报时,这两个比特可复用为波束指令上报开关标识,以节省配置信息的信令开销。
例如,在一些场景中终端可能会检测到基站发射的多个发送波束,这些发送波束均可以用于基站向终端发送信息,但是具体哪一个波束是最佳波束,终端可以通过波束质量的检测,形成所述波束质量信息。若终端根据所述配置信息将所述波束质量信息上报给基站之后,基站就可以根据波束质量信息,选择终端接收信号强度最大或接收功率最大的波束作为向终端发送信息的最终波束。但在此之前,基站等网络侧设备可以确定是否需要接收终端上报的波束质量信息,故在本实施中所述配置信息中包括了可指示是否上报波束质量的信息上报标识。该信息上报标识,一方面可以指示终端是否最终要上报的波束信息的信息内容,也可以指示终端是否需要进行波束质量进行测量。比如,若所述信息上报标识指示要上报波束质量信息,则终端需要测量检测到的波束质量信息,否则可以仅发现基站发射的发送波束,而并不具体检测每一个波束的接收信号强度或接收功率等信息。
当然在一些情况下,所述终端也可以在发现基站发射的波束的同时,还测量所述波束质量信息,但是终端根据所述信息上报标识,确定是否上报对应的波束质量信息。作为该种情况的进一步改进,所述终端可以进行波束质量信息,但是根据所述波束质量上报标识确定无需上报波束质量信息时,会根据其检测的波束质量信息,选择其中波束质量最好的一个或多个波束,或选择波束质量大于预定阈值的波束的发送资源标识上报基站。这样的话,网络侧设备在接收到终端上报的波束信息之后,会根据终端上报的波束信息,选择出当前最适宜的发送波束向终端下发数据和/或控制指令,或指示终端采用终端当前所在位置及当前网络状况下,最适宜与终端进行通信的接收波束;从而实现通过波束进行高速及高效通信。
总之,在本实施例中所述网络侧设备通过配置信息的下发,终端通过配 置信息的接收,会触发自身对基站发射的发送波束进行发现和检测,终端在进行检测和/或测量之后,会上报其检测到的波束的资源标识和/或其检测到的波束的波束质量信息。
所述波束质量上报开关标识,则用于指示上报类型标识指示一起上报资源标识和波束质量信息时,指示终端开始或停止波束质量的上报。这样的话,可以指示终端何时开始波束质量信息的上报及何时停止上报。通过波束质量上报开关标识的设置,可以在网络侧设备不再需要波束质量信息的上报时,及时制止终端的波束质量信息的上报;在需要波束质量信息上报时,方便的指示终端开始上报所述波束质量信息。
在一些实施例中,为了减少所述配置信息所占用的比特数,所述信息上报标识和所述波束质量上报开关标识可复用(Multiplex)同一个字段。
总之,在本实施例中终端基于上述配置信息,可以支持波束的资源标识及波束质量信息一起半静态上报或基于网络侧设备的非周期触发上报,资源标识和波束质量信息的同时支持一起周期上报,资源标识和波束质量信分别上报。
在一些情况下,所述网络侧设备可以根据当前信道状况下发配置信息;若信道状况好,可以通过配置信息中不同字段指示多种预设信息的上报,从而使得网络侧设备更加详细具体地获得终端对网络侧发射的发送波束的发现和/或检测结果。若当前信道状况不好,则可以通过配置信息的配置,仅指示一个或多个关键预设信息的上报,从而减少因为波束信息上报导致的拥堵和/或负荷重的原因。
在一些实施例中,所述方法还包括:
所述网络侧设备,获取当前信道状况信息;
判断所述信道状况信息是否满足预设条件,这里的判断可包括:表征信道状况信息的上行信道接收强度大于预设阈值,则认为满足所述预设条件,否则就不满足所述预设条件;
当满足所述预设条件时,所述配置信息中的上报类型标识指示一起上报所述资源标识和所述波束质量信息,或,所述上报类型标识指示资源标识和波束质量信息分别上报时,所述信息上报标识,指示资源标识和波束质量信 息均得上报;否则,则上报类型标识可指示不一起上报所述资源标识和所述波束质量信息;所述上报类型标识可指示仅上报资源标识或波束质量信息。
本实施例中,网络侧设备将配置信息下发给终端之后,终端会根据配置信息上报波束信息。这样网络侧设备就可以通过配置信息中上报类型标识、上报偏移量、信息上报标识及波束质量上报开关标识的设置,控制终端上报网络侧设备所需的波束信息即可,减少了终端将获得的所有的波束信息均上报导致的信令开销大的问题。此外,所述网络侧设备还可以根据传输信道状况等信息,灵活的通过所述配置信息的设置控制所述终端上报的信息量,从而减少传输信道状况差时大量的波束信息上报导致的拥堵现象,而在传输信道状况好时终端上报的波束信息不够齐全导致的信息缺失的现象。故本实施例提供的波束信息获取方法,具有信令开销小,可以方便网络侧设备根据信道状况信息灵活控制波束信息上报的优点。在一些实施例中,所述配置信息还包括以下至少之一:
上报时间类型标识,用于指示所述终端采用周期上报或半静态方式或非周期触发方式上报所述波束信息;
上报周期指示,用于指示所述周期上报或所述半静态方式上报时相邻两次上报之间的时间间隔;
上报带宽标识,包括全部带宽标识、部分带宽标识或子带标识;其中,所述全部带宽标识,用于指示所述终端支持的所有带宽中用于上报所述波束信息的全部带宽;所述部分带宽标识,用于指示所述终端支持的所有带宽中用于上报所述波束信息的部分带宽;所述子带标识,用于指示所述终端支持的所有带宽中用于上报所述波束信息的部分子带;
发送资源组标识,用于供终端区分网络侧的发送波束集合或发送波束组;
发送资源标识,用于供终端区分网络侧的发送波束;
接收资源组标识,用于指示终端的接收波束集合或接收波束组;
接收资源标识,用于指示终端的接收波束。
上报时间类标识。可用于指示终端在时域上采用哪种方式上报所述波束信息。例如,所述上报时间类标识,可用于指示终端在周期性上报所述波束信息。所述半静态方式,可为指示终端在特定时间段内周期性上报所述波束 信息。所述非周期触发方式上报可为:网络侧通过通知的下发,触发终端上报所述波束信息。在本实施例中周期上报和半静态上报方式的差异在于:周期上报为终端一旦开始了上报,则在之后的时间内,终端会按照特定的时间点进行上报。而半静态上报则为:终端仅在基站指示的起始时间之后并在基站指示的结束之前对应的时段内周期上报。若到了所述接收实际那,终端是否上报波束信息,或以哪种方式上报所述波束信息,需要基站等网络侧设备重新指定或触发。
上报周期指示,可用于指示周期上报或半静态方式的相邻两次上报的时间间隔。这里的时间间隔可为5毫秒或10毫秒等,这样的话,终端每隔5毫秒或10毫秒上报一次所述波束质量信息。
在本实施例中所述上报带宽标识,可至少包括全部带宽标识和部分带宽标识。这里的带宽可为终端支持的带宽。所述全部带宽标识,用于指示以终端支持的全部带宽上报所述波束信息;部分带宽标识,则是用于指示终端仅以其支持的一部分带宽进行所述波束信息的上报。例如,终端可支持的带宽为A兆,带宽标识指示终端的B兆带宽用于上报波束信息,这里的B小于A;B和A均为正数。
在一些实施例中,所述上报带宽标识,还可包括子带标识。在本实施例中所述子带标识,用于指示终端可用其支持的所有带宽中的一个或多个子带上报所述波束信息。在本实施例中所述子带标识,通常指示的用于上报所述波束信息的带宽可为预定个数的物理资源块(Physical Resource Block,PRB),具体可为8个PRB、6PRB或4个PRB等。所述部分带宽标识,指示的用于上报所述波束信息的带宽可能大于所述预定个数的物理资源块,例如,可以指示8个以上的PRB用于上报所述波束信息。
在本实施例中所述接收资源组标识,这里的接收资源组可为终端可接收的接收波束集合或接收波束组。在本实施例中所述接收波束集合和接收波束组,均为包括两个或两个以上的波束。在本实施例中所述接收资源组标识,可用于指示终端采用哪一个接收波束集合或接收波束组来检测所述网络侧设备发射的波束。
所述接收资源标识,用于指示终端的一个接收波束;具体可用于指示终 端采用哪一个接收波束检测终端发射的波束。
在一些实施例中,所述终端上报的波束信息可包括发送资源标识、发送资源标识和波束质量信息、接收资源标识、接收资源标识组、接收资源标识和波束质量信息、接收资源标识组和波束质量信息。总之,所述终端上报的波束信息中,至少需要包括发送资源标识、接收资源标识及接收资源组标识的至少一个波束的标识信息。终端上报的波束信息,除了所述终端发现了波束的标识信息以外,还可包括波束质量信息等。
本实施例中配置信息还可包括:上报时间类型标识、上报周期指示、上报带宽标识、发送资源组标识、发送资源标识、接收资源组标识及接收资源标识中一项或多项,网络侧将包括这些信息的配置信息下发给终端之后,就可以控制终端检测哪些发送波束,在哪些带宽或子带上报波束信息,或者以何种周期上报所述波束信息,增强了网络侧设备对终端波束信息上报的控制力,方便网络侧设备根据自身的需要以及当前的网络状况获得对应的配置参数,控制终端的波束信息的上报,确保网络侧设备获得想要的波束信息的同时,尽可能降低信令开销,实现上报的波束信息的信息来那个与当前信道状况的自适应调控。
在一些实施例中所述步骤S120可包括:
当所述上报类型标识指示所述终端分别上报所述资源标识和所述波束质量信息,且所述信息上报标识指示所述资源标识和所述波束质量信息均上报时,分别接收所述终端检测到的发送波束对应的资源标识和波束质量信息,其中,所述资源标识由采用第一周期上报,所述波束质量信息由采用第二周期上报,其中,所述第一周期大于所述第二周期,或者,所述第二周期大于所述第一周期。
在本实施例中资源标识和波束质量信息都要上报,且是分开上报。此时,资源标识和波束质量信息的上报可以完全没有关联关系,各自上报。例如,通过上报的起始时间不同,但是上报周期相同实现分别上报。在本实施例中这两种信息的进行上报的第一周期大于第二周期,或第二周期大于第一周期。相当于第一周期不等于第二周期。
在本实施例中若波束质量信息和发送资源标识分别上报时(即不一起上 报时),且信息上报标识指示所述资源标识及波束质量信息均上报时,则在本实施例中所述终端还可采用不同的上报周期分别上报所述资源标识和波束质量信息。在本实施例中所述第一周期不等于所述第二周期。在一般情况下,波束质量信息和资源标识的上报周期的起始时间不同。例如,所述第一周期大于所述第二周期,或所述第二周期大于所述第一周期。
例如,所述终端按照第一周期上报终端检测到的发送波束对应的资源标识,以第二周期上报波束质量信息,且第一周期是三倍于所述第二周期,则终端上报一个发现一个波束之后,会以第二周期分别检测该波束的波束质量,则基站会接收到一个资源标识,会对应分三次接收到发送资源标识对应的波束质量的波束质量信息。这里上报的资源标识,可为终端检测到发送波束自身的发送资源标识,也可以是终端用于检测该发送波束的接收波束的接收资源标识。
在有一些情况下,基站等网络侧设备,不想要终端频繁上报波束质量信息,减少基站的信息处理负荷,基站仅需要终端偶尔上报其检测波束的波束质量信息,则此时,所述终端可以以较短的周期上报资源标识,而以较长的周期上报对应的波束质量信息。
本公开实施例中资源标识和波束信息分别上报时,可采用不同的周期进行上报,方便基站根据自身是需要调控终端上报资源标识和波束质量信息的周期,实现波束信息中各信息上报周期和/或上报的信息量,与网络侧设备的实际需求及当前网络状况的自适应调整。
如图2所示,本公开实施例提供一种波束信息上报方法,包括:
步骤S210:接收网络侧设备发送的配置信息,其中,所述配置信息包括上报类型标识、上报偏移量、信息上报标识、波束质量上报开关标识中的至少一项。
步骤S220:根据所述配置信息,向所述网络侧设备发送波束信息。
其中,所述上报类型标识,用于指示至少两种波束信息是否一起上报,其中,所述至少两种所述波束信息包括:波束的资源标识及波束质量信息;所述资源标识包括:发送资源标识和/或接收资源标识,所述发送资源标识,用于供终端区分网络侧的发送波束;所述接收资源标识,用于供所述网络侧 设备区分所述终端检测所述发送波束的接收波束;所述波束质量信息为所述终端对所述发送波束测量形成表征所述发送波束的波束质量的信息;所述上报偏移量,用于指示所述至少两种波束信息一起上报时,在上报资源上的偏移量;所述信息上报标识,用于当所述资源标识和所述波束质量信息分别上报时,指示所述资源标识和/或所述波束质量信息的上报;所述波束质量上报开关标识,用于当所述资源标识和所述波束质量信息一起上报时,指示所述终端开始或停止所述波束质量信息的上报。
在本实施例中所述波束信息上报方法,可为应用于终端中的方法。
在本实施例中终端上报所述波束信息之前,会先从网络侧接收配置信息,根据该配置信息进行波束的发现和/或检测,并根据配置信息向网络侧发送波束信息。
在本实施例中所述波束信息至少包括终端检测到的波束的资源标识,在一些情况下还可包括终端检测到的波束的波束质量,这里终端检测到的波束的资源标识为波束的发送资源标识,也可以是对应于终端侧的接收波束的接收资源标识等。
本实施例提供的波束信息上报方法,在发送所述波束信息之前,会接收网络侧设备发送的配置信息,根据所述配置信息上报波束信息,而非将检测到的所有波束信息都上报或随机上报,这样就可以减少网络侧设备不必要的波束信息的上报,从而节省信令开销。所述配置信息来自网络测设备,是网络侧设备根据自身需求和/或当前的信道状况信息等获取的,故基于配置信息上报波束信息,可以实现上报的波束信息的信息内容和信息量,与网络侧设备的需求及当前信道状况的相适配,减少不适配导致的拥堵或信息缺失的现象。
例如,所述步骤S210可包括:接收携带有所述配置信息的RRC信令、MAC层CE或物理层DCI中的至少一项。在实施例中终端通过对所述RRC信令、MAC层CE或DCI的一个或多个的接收,实现了对所述配置信息的接收。
本实施例中终端的第二接收单元通过RRC信令、MAC层CE或DCI的接收来接收所述配置信息。
在一些实施例中,所述配置信息还包括以下至少之一:
上报时间类型标识,用于指示所述终端采用周期上报或半静态方式或非周期触发方式上报所述波束信息;
上报周期指示,用于指示所述周期上报或所述半静态方式上报时相邻两次上报之间的时间间隔;
上报带宽标识,包括全部带宽标识、部分带宽标识或子带标识;其中,所述全部带宽标识,用于指示所述终端支持的所有带宽中用于上报所述波束信息的全部带宽;所述部分带宽标识,用于指示所述终端支持的所有带宽中用于上报所述波束信息的部分带宽;所述子带标识,用于指示所述终端支持的所有带宽中用于上报所述波束信息的部分子带;
发送资源组标识,用于供终端区分网络侧的发送波束集合或发送波束组;
发送资源标识,用于供终端区分网络侧的发送波束;
接收资源组标识,用于指示终端的接收波束集合或接收波束组;
接收资源标识,用于指示终端的接收波束。
本实施例中的上报类型标识和所述上报偏移量等各种配置信息的描述,可以参见前述实施例,在此不再赘述。
在实施例中所述配置信息包括上述信息或标识,可以方便所述终端根据网络测设备的需求进行波束信息上报,实现信令开销小的效果,并可以增强网络侧设备的控制力。
在一些实施例中,所述步骤S220可包括:
用于当所述上报类型标识指示分别上报所述资源标识及所述波束质量信息,且所述信息上报标识指示所述资源标识和所述波束质量信息均上报时,分别发送所检测到的发送波束对应的资源标识和波束质量信息;其中所述资源标识以第一周期发送给所述网络侧设备,所述波束质量信息以第二周期发送给所述网络侧设备;所述第一周期大于所述第二周期,或者,所述第二周期大于所述第一周期。
这里的上报类型标识指示波束质量信息和资源标识不要一起上报时,但是信息上报标识还是指示了资源标识和波束质量信息都要上报,则可采用不同的周期分别上报所述资源标识和波束质量信息。这里的第一周期可以大于 第二周期,也可以第二周期大于第一周期,具体的周期取值可以根据终端和基站之间的波束信息的上报需求而定,在此就不做特殊限定。
本公开实施例的资源标识和波束质量信息可采用不同的周期上报,可以实现根据网络侧设备的需求和当前信道状况进行灵活调整,实现信令开销小及与信道状况适配的效果。
如图3所示,本实施例提供一种网络侧设备,包括:
第一发送单元110,用于向终端发送配置信息,其中,所述配置信息包括上报类型标识、上报偏移量、信息上报标识、波束质量上报开关标识中的至少一项;
第一接收单元120,用于接收所述终端基于所述配置信息上报的波束信息;
其中,所述上报类型标识,用于指示至少两种波束信息是否一起上报,其中,所述至少两种所述波束信息包括:波束的资源标识及波束质量信息;所述资源标识包括:发送资源标识和/或接收资源标识,所述发送资源标识,用于供终端区分网络侧的发送波束;所述接收资源标识,用于供所述网络侧设备区分所述终端检测所述发送波束的接收波束;所述波束质量信息为所述终端对所述发送波束测量形成表征所述发送波束的波束质量的信息;所述上报偏移量,用于指示所述至少两种波束信息一起上报时,在上报资源上的偏移量;所述信息上报标识,用于当所述资源标识和所述波束质量信息分别上报时,指示所述资源标识和/或所述波束质量信息的上报;所述波束质量上报开关标识,用于当所述资源标识和所述波束质量信息一起上报时,指示所述终端开始或停止所述波束质量信息的上报。
本实施例中所述网络侧设备可为基站等接入网的网元,该网络侧设备优先可为与基站直接进行信息通信。
在本实施例中第一发送单元110可对应于基站的空口或空口对应的发送天线,可用于向终端发送配置信息。在本实施例中所述第一接收单元120,可对应于基站的接收天线,可以接收终端发送的信息。在本实施例中终端发送的信息为,终端根据所述配置信息可对基站发射的波束进行发现和/或测量得到的资源标识和/或波束质量信息。
在本实施例中所述上报类型标识及上报偏移量的相关定义可以参见前述实施例,在此不再赘述。
本实施例中,网络侧设备的第一发送单元110将配置信息下发给终端之后,第一接收单元120会接收到终端会根据配置信息上报的波束信息。这样网络侧设备就可以通过配置信息各标识的配置,控制终端上报网络侧设备所需的波束信息即可,减少了终端将获得的所有的波束信息均上报导致的信令开销大的问题。此外,所述网络侧设备还可以根据传输信道状况等信息,灵活的通过所述配置信息的设置控制所述终端上报的信息量,从而减少传输信道状况差时大量的波束信息上报导致的拥堵现象,而在传输信道状况好时终端上报的波束信息不够齐全导致的信息缺失的现象。故本实施例提供的波束信息获取方法,具有信令开销小,可以方便网络侧设备根据信道状况信息灵活控制波束信息上报的优点。
进一步地,所述配置信息还包括以下至少之一:
上报时间类型标识,用于指示所述终端采用周期上报或半静态方式或非周期触发方式上报所述波束信息;
上报周期指示,用于指示所述周期上报或所述半静态方式上报时相邻两次上报之间的时间间隔;
上报带宽标识,包括全部带宽标识、部分带宽标识或子带标识;其中,所述全部带宽标识,用于指示所述终端支持的所有带宽中用于上报所述波束信息的全部带宽;所述部分带宽标识,用于指示所述终端支持的所有带宽中用于上报所述波束信息的部分带宽;所述子带标识,用于指示所述终端支持的所有带宽中用于上报所述波束信息的部分子带;
发送资源组标识,用于供终端区分网络侧的发送波束集合或发送波束组;
发送资源标识,用于供终端区分网络侧的发送波束;
接收资源组标识,用于指示终端的接收波束集合或接收波束组;
接收资源标识,用于指示终端的接收波束。
本实施例中配置信息还可包括:上报时间类型标识、上报周期指示、上报带宽标识、发送资源组标识、发送资源标识、接收资源组标识及接收资源标识中一项或多项,这些标识后信息都可以由网络侧设备根据自身需求和/或 当前网络状况,灵活控制终端波束信息的上报,实现信令开小等目的。
在一些实施例中,所述第一接收单元120,具体用于当所述上报类型标识指示所述终端分别上报所述资源标识和所述波束质量信息,且所述信息上报标识指示所述资源标识和所述波束质量信息均上报时,分别接收所述终端检测到的发送波束对应的资源标识和波束质量信息,其中,所述资源标识由采用第一周期上报,所述波束质量信息由采用第二周期上报,其中,所述第一周期大于所述第二周期,或者,所述第二周期大于所述第一周期。
当基站指示终端分别上报资源标识和波束质量信息,且这两种信息均需要上报时,则所述终端会采用不同的周期上报所述资源标识和所述波束质量信息,故在本实施例中所述第一接收单元120会以不同的周期接收到所述资源标识和所述波束质量信息。
本公开实施例的提供的资源标识和波束信息分别上报时采用不同的周期进行上报,方便基站根据自身是需要调控终端上报资源标识和波束质量信息的周期,实现波束信息中各信息上报周期和/或上报的信息量,与网络侧设备的实际需求及当前网络状况的自适应调整。
在一些实施例中,所述第一发送单元110,具体用于通过RRC信令、MAC层控制单元CE及物理层DCI中的至少一项,发送所述配置信息。以上可为部分承载所述配置信息的信令,在一些实施例中,所述第一发送单元110,还可以通过所述配置信息的专有信令发送给终端,不局限于上述信令。
在本实施例中所述配置信息是利用上述信令携带的,这些信令还可以是携带其他信令,这样就不用为配置信息的下发设计专用信令,具有与相关技术兼容性强的特点。本公开实施例中的网络侧设备能达到上述波束信息获取方法实施例中相同的技术效果,在此不再赘述。
如图4所示,本实施例提供一种终端,包括:

本实施例提供的终端在上报波束信息之前,会先从网络侧设备接收配置信息,然后基于配置信息进行上报,这样可以根据网络侧需求和/或当前网络状况进行信息上报,减少不必要的信息上报,实现信令开销小及与当前网络状况相适配的目的。
可选地,所述配置信息还包括以下至少之一:

接收资源组标识,用于指示终端的接收波束集合或接收波束组;
接收资源标识,用于指示终端的接收波束。
在实施例中所述配置信息包括上述信息或标识,可以方便所述终端根据网络测设备的需求进行波束信息上报,实现信令开销小的效果,并可以增强网络侧设备的控制力。可选地,所述第二发送单元220,具体用于当所述上报类型标识指示分别上报所述资源标识及所述波束质量信息,且所述信息上报标识指示所述资源标识和所述波束质量信息均上报时,分别发送所检测到的发送波束对应的资源标识和波束质量信息;其中所述资源标识以第一周期发送给所述网络侧设备,所述波束质量信息以第二周期发送给所述网络侧设备;所述第一周期大于所述第二周期,或者,所述第二周期大于所述第一周期。
在本实施例中所述终端根据所述上报类型标识,确定出需要分别上报所述资源标识和所述波束质量信息,并根据所述波束质量标识,确定出需要上报波束质量信息,则所述终端采用第一周期上报发送资源标识和/或接收资源标识,以第二周期上报所述波束质量信息。这里的第一周期不等于所述第二周期。具体可为,所述第一周期大于所述第二周期,或所述第二周期大于所述第一周期。
本公开实施例的资源标识和波束质量信息可采用不同的周期上报,可以实现根据网络侧设备的需求和当前信道状况进行灵活调整,实现信令开销小及与信道状况适配的效果。
可选地,所述第二接收单元210,具体用于接收携带有所述配置信息的RRC信令、MAC层控制单元CE或物理层DCI中的至少一项。
在本实施例中所述波束质量上报装置,通过接收所述RRC信令、MAC层 CE或DCI来接收所述配置信息,并通过对这些信令的解析获得这些信令携带的所述配置信息,从而完成了配置信息的获取。
在本实施例中所述配置信息是利用上述信令携带的,第二接收单元210通过接收RRC信令、MAC层CE及DCI来接收所述配置信息,这样就不用为配置信息专门设计专用信令,具有与相关技术兼容性强的特点。本公开实施例中的终端能达到上述波束信息上报方法实施例中相同的技术效果,在此不再赘述。
一些示例中提供的波束质量信息获取方法可为应用于下行波束管理中的下行波束的波束信息的方法。
图5为一些示例中提供的一种下行波束管理示意图,包括:
阶段一:UE测量不同的收发波束节点(Transmission and Reception Point,TRP)波束,用于确定TRP的发送波束和UE的接收波束。
阶段二:UE的接收的波束不变,改变TRP内和/或TRP间的发送波束,用于UE测量不同的TRP发送波束。
阶段三:TRP发送的波束不变,改变UE的接收波束,用于UE测量不同的UE接收波束。在本示例中所述TRP可指的是向终端发送波束的基站等波束发射节点。
如图1和图2所示,本示例中所述TRP在接收到所述UE测量波束之后的波速质量信息之前,会向终端发送至少包括:上报类型标识和上报偏移量的配置信息,这样就方便上述一个或多个阶段中所述UE根据配置信息上报其测量得到的波束信息。
在一些实施例中所述配置信息可直接携带中需要终端检测的下行波束中,这样的话,若终端检测到该下行波束,则会获取到该配置信息,并根据该配置信息上报波束信息。
在本示例中TRP侧所述波束信息获取方法,或终端侧的波束信息上报方,应用于下行波束的管理过程中;在一些实施例中终端会在小区之间进行移动,若终端在小区内移动后,则终端与基站进行通信的波束需要重新确定,则同样可以利用图1和图2所示的方法,进行波束质量信息的获取和/或上报。
如图6所示,一些示例中提供一种波束质量信息处理方法,包括:
步骤S1:基站获取配置信息;所述配置信息,为前述实施例提供的任意一种配置信息。例如,所述配置信息可包括:上报类型标识、上报偏移量、信息上报标识、波束质量上报开关标识中的一种或多种。当然,所述配置信息还可包括:上报时间类型标识、上报周期指示、上报带宽标识、发送资源组标识、发送资源标识、接收资源组标识及接收资源标识中的一个或多个。
步骤S2:基站向终端发送所述配置信息,例如,通过RRC信令或DCI或MAC层CE下发所述配置信息。
步骤S3:终端接收配置信息,具体可包括;终端通过接收RRC信令、DCI和/或MAC层CE,然后提取特定字段的信息内容,从而获得所述配置信息。
步骤S4:基站发射下行波束,例如,根据当前告知给终端的发送资源标识,发送与告知的发送资源标识对应的发送波束。
步骤S5:终端发现和/或测量所述下行波束。这里的测量所述下行波束包括:测量所述下行波束的接收强度或接收功率等波束质量信息;在一些实施例中,所述终端还可以根据所述配置信息进行所述下行波束的测量,包括:根据所述配置信息检测下行波束,但是不对下行波束的接收功率等波束质量信息进行测量,或者,需要检测到所述下行波束,并计算出接收质量等波束质量信息等。所述终端具体如何发现和/或测量下行波束,可以根据终端的具体需求而定。在本示例中所述终端发现下行波束,可为终端仅需确定出其是否检测到一个下行波束,而非需要具体测量出该下行波束的波束质量。
步骤S6:根据所述配置信息,向基站返回的波束信息,这里的波束信息至少包括终端检测到的波束的资源标识或波束质量信息。
如图7所示,一些示例中提供另一种波束信息上报方法,包括:
步骤S21:TRP可通过NR RC信令承载变化周期较长的波束组或波束上报相关的配置参数,如:波束上报类型,上报周期,上报带宽等。
所述TRP还可以通过NR MAC层CE或者新空口物理下行控制信道(New Radio Physical Downlink Control Channel,NR-PDCCH)上的NR DCI 承载变化周期较短的波束组或波束上报相关的配置参数,如:发送资源标识等;供UE侧进行波束测量和上报。
故在本示例中所述TRP向终端发送的配置信息,可以分开发送,不限定一次性发送。
在本示例中会根据配置信息的变化速率,选择对应的承载信令。例如,当所述配置信息的变化率大于第一阈值时,采用所述NR RRC信令下发所述配置信息,当所述变化率不大于所述第一阈值时,采用所述NR DCI或NR MAC层CE下发所述配置信息。这种配置信息的下发方式,一方面确保了配置信息的及时下发,另一方面可以充分利用各种信令的空闲字段,提升时频资源的有效使用。
步骤S22:UE侧接收到波束组或波束上报相关的配置参数后按照相关指示上报波束信息,如:TRP发送的资源标识,UE侧接收到的TRP发送资源标识对应的RSRP。
在一些示例中,假设NR RRC信令发送的波束组或波束上报相关的配置参数中初始上报类型标识配置为“0”,表示支持CRI和RSRP同时上报。
NR DCI指示的发送资源标识配置为“0”,表示上报CRI0的波束信息。无波束质量信息上报标识和上报偏移量配置。
如图8所示,在T1时刻以前,终端同时上报CRI0和CRI0对应的波束的RSRP0。在T1时刻发生波束切换,NR DCI指示的发送资源标识配置为“1”,表示仅上报CRI1的波束信息,则此时,终端上报的波束信息为CRI1和CRI1对应的波束的RSRP1。
本示例中给出基于NR RRC信令和NR DCI共同指示的波束信息上报,可降低NR DCI开销,实现波束信息的快速上报。
在一些示例中,假设NR RRC信令发送的波束组或波束上报相关的配置参数中初始上报类型标识配置为“0”,表示支持CRI和RSRP一起上报;上报偏移量配置为“0”,表示CRI和RSRP同时上报时的偏移量为0.5ms。
例如,在T2时刻,NR DCI指示波束质量信息上报标识为“0”,表 示上报RSRP;NR DCI指示的发送资源标识配置为“0”,表示上报CRI0的波束信息。
如图9所示,在T2时刻以后在T2+2时刻以前的一次终端上报过程中,终端在不同的时刻点上报了CRI0和CRI0对应的波束的RSRP0。
假设UE连续上报的RSRP变化较小,在T+2时刻,NR DCI指示的波束质量信息上报标识为“1”,表示不上报RSRP。如图9所示,终端在T+2时刻以后,仅上报了CRI,例如,仅上报了CRI0。
本示例给出灵活的波束上报的信息配置,可有效降低波束信息上报开销,提高上行传输速率。
在图8和图9中t表示的时间轴。
在一些示例中,请参阅图10,图10是本公开实施例应用的另一种网络侧设备的结构图,如图10所示,网络侧设备300包括:处理器304、收发机302、存储器303和总线接口,其中:
