Description

通信方法及通信装置
本申请要求于2017年8月11日提交中国专利局、申请号为CN2017106842702、发明名称为“通信方法及通信装置”的中国专利申请的优先权，其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及频率资源的配置。
背景技术
网络设备采用频率资源聚合技术，可以允许使用多个频率资源为一个终端设备服务，大大增加了带宽，进而提高了传输速率。准同位(quasi-co-location，QCL)关系是指多个资源之间具有一个或多个相同或相类似的通信特征。
在相邻的多个频率资源上，两个天线端口之间可能关于延迟扩展，多普勒扩展，多普勒频移，平均延迟，空域参数等至少一种参数具有QCL关系。例如，对于空域参数来说，如图1a所示的一种接收功率在到达角(angle of arrival,AOA)的分布示意图，多个频率资源之间的接收功率在到达角的分布很相似，可以认为这两个频率资源之间存在空域准同位(spatial QCL)关系。这样，可以考虑使用一个频率资源的通信特性来为多个频率资源的通信服务，从而节省了对每个频率资源都进行管理带来的时延和开销。但是，在相邻的多个频率资源上也有可能并不具有spatial QCL关系，如图1b所示的另一种接收功率在到达角的分布示意图，多个频率资源之间的接收功率在到达角的分布相似度较低。这时对于每一个频率资源，可能需要单独进行管理。相邻多个频率资源之间是否具有QCL关系，与多种因素相关。利用QCL关系进行频率资源的配置有利于提高频率资源配置的准确性，但现有技术中尚未有如何确定频率资源的QCL关系以进行频率资源的配置的方案。
因此，网络设备如何对频率资源进行配置是亟待解决的问题。

在另一种可能的实现方式中，所述方法还包括：所述网络设备通知所述终端设备更新后的频率资源组。在该实现方式中，若网络设备配置的频率资源组有更新，则需要通知终端设备，终端设备重新确定各个频率资源组中频率资源的QCL关系。在终端设备上报QCL关系后，对于网络设备原先配置的频率资源组，需要更新频率资源组的，也要将更新后的频率资源组信息通知终端设备。

具体实施方式
下面结合本发明实施例中的附图对本发明实施例进行描述。

网络设备100可以是能和终端设备200通信的设备。网络设备100可以是任意一种具有无线收发功能的设备。包括但不限于：基站(例如，基站NodeB、演进型基站eNodeB、第五代(the fifth generation，5G)通信系统中的基站、未来通信系统中的基站或网络设备、WiFi系统中的接入节点、无线中继节点、无线回传节点)等。网络设备100还可以是云无线接入网络(cloud radio access network，CRAN)场景下的无线控制器。网络设备100还可以是5G网络中的网络设备或未来演进网络中的网络设备；还可以是可穿戴设备或车载设备等。网络设备100还可以是小站，传输节点(transmission reference point，TRP)等。当然不申请不限于此。
终端设备200是一种具有无线收发功能的设备可以部署在陆地上，包括室内或室外、手持、穿戴或车载；也可以部署在水面上(如轮船等)；还可以部署在空中(例如飞机、气球和卫星上等)。所述终端设备可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(Pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(Virtual Reality，VR)终端设备、增强现实(Augmented Reality，AR)终端设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程医疗(remote medical)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端等等。本申请的实施例对应用场景不做限定。终端设备有时也可以称为用户设备(user equipment，UE)、接入终端设备、UE单元、UE站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端设备、移动设备、UE终端设备、终端设备、无线通信设备、UE代理或UE装置等。

图3为本发明实施例提供的一种通信方法的交互流程示意图，该方法可包括以下步骤：
S101、网络设备配置至少一个频率资源组，其中，每个频率资源组包括一个或多个频率资源。
S102、所述网络设备将所述至少一个频率资源组的指示信息发送给终端设备。终端设备接收来自网络设备的至少一个频率资源组的指示信息。
S103、所述网络设备使用至少一个波束在所述至少一个频率资源组对应的频率资源上发送下行信号。所述终端设备通过至少一个波束接收来自网络设备的下行信号，所述下行信号是在所述至少一个频率资源组对应的频率资源上发送的。
S104、所述终端设备测量所述下行信号。
S105、所述终端设备上报所述至少一个频率资源组中的多个频率资源是否具有QCL关系的指示信息。
S106、所述网络设备接收来自所述终端设备的用于指示所述至少一个频率资源组的多个频率资源是否具有QCL关系的信息。
本申请中涉及的通信装置可包括第一通信装置和第二通信装置，还可以是更多的通信装置，如图3所示，这里的第一通信装置为网络设备，第二通信装置为终端设备。
本申请中，该频率资源可以为载波分量(carrier component，CC，下文简称“载波”)或者带宽部分(bandwidth part，BP)。带宽部分是指一个载波的一部分带宽，一个载波可分为多个带宽部分，该多个带宽部分构成一个带宽部分组，即一个载波可以看成是一个或多个带宽部分组。
本申请中所指的QCL关系，是指天线端口之间具有QCL关系。
天线端口之间具有QCL关系具体又可以包括：载波分量之间具有QCL关系，波束之间具有QCL关系，带宽部分之间具有QCL关系等。
一个载波和另一个载波具有QCL关系是指发送一个载波的天线端口和发送另一个载波的天线端口之间具有QCL的关系。
一个带宽部分和另一个带宽部分具有QCL关系，是指发送一个带宽部分的天线端口和发送另一个带宽部分的天线端口之前具有QCL关系。
而一个波束和另一个波束具有QCL关系则是指，例如：发送一个下行信号的天线端口和发送另一个下行信号的天线端口之间是具有QCL的关系。这个例子的场景是使用下行信号标识以及天线端口标识来指示波束信息。例如，采用CSI-RS资源#1指示波束1，采用CSI-RS资源#2指示波束2。波束1和波束2具有QCL关系，本质上是CSI-RS资源#1和CSI-RS资源#2的天线端口具有QCL关系。
本文中若使用简略的描述“具有QCL关系”，则可以包括载波之间具有QCL关系，带宽部分之间具有QCL关系，以及波束之间具有QCL关系；也可以指其中一种情况，即载波之间具有QCL关系，带宽部分之间具有QCL关系，或波束之间具有QCL关系。
网络设备采用频率资源聚合技术可以先配置一个或多个频率资源组，并假设该频率资源组中的多个频率资源具有QCL关系。网络设备可以根据自身的判断配置频率资源组。例如，网络设备假设在频率相差较小的频率资源上QCL关系可能总是成立，则将频率相差较小的多个频率资源配置为一个频率资源组。
下面实施例的描述都是基于网络设备进行QCL关系的假设展开描述的。作为S101和S102的另一种替代的实现方式，网络设备也可以不预先配置具有假设的QCL关系的频率资源组，而是终端设备配置频率资源组，并根据下行信号的测量，确定该频率资源组的假设是否成立，然后再将配置的频率资源组的指示信息上报给网络设备。这时，配置的频率资源组中的多个频率资源是确定具有QCL关系的。作为S101和S102的又一种替代的实现方式，网络设备和终端设备也可以不执行配置频率资源组的动作，而采用默认的协商好的频率资源组。
可选地，作为一种实现方式，在S101之前，还可以包括以下步骤：所述终端设备发送 其支持的一个或多个频率资源的信息给所述网络设备。所述网络设备获取所述终端设备支持的一个或多个频率资源的信息。即终端设备上报频率资源聚合的能力。例如，终端设备上报其能支持{频率资源1，频率资源2，频率资源7，频率资源8，频率资源9}。作为另一种实现方式，网络设备也可以默认终端设备支持哪些频率资源，后续若终端设备不支持网络设备划分的频率资源组中的某些频率资源，终端设备则可以不对这些频率资源上发送的下行信号进行测量。
网络设备在配置好频率资源组后，将频率资源组的指示信息发送给终端设备。具体地，所述至少一个频率资源组的指示信息，具体包括以下至少一个信息：所述至少一个频率资源组的标识、以及每个频率资源组包括的一个或多个频率资源的标识。
举例说明，比如，将多个CC划分为2个CC组，分别为CCG{CC 1，CC2}和CCG2{CC3，CC5，CC 6}，网络设备将两个CC组的指示信息发送给终端设备，CC组的指示信息为CCG1包括CC1和CC2，CCG2包括CC3,CC5和CC6。
网络设备在配置好频率资源组并将频率资源组的指示信息发送给终端设备后，使用至少一个波束在配置好的一个或多个频率资源组对应的频率资源上发送下行信号。其中，该下行信号可以是同步信号块(Synchronization signal，SS block)或者信道状态信息下行信号(channel status information-reference signal，CSI-RS)。其中，同步信号包括主同步信号(primary synchronization signal，PSS)和辅同步信号(secondary synchronization signal，SSS)。如图4所示的同步信号结构和发送方式示意图，同步信号和物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel，PBCH)绑定发送，称为一个SS block。例如，SS block最大可支持64个波束方向，它们之间通过同步信号时间索引(SS block time index)区分，即不同的SS block time index指示不同的波束。例如，SS block可以以{20,40,80,160}毫秒为周期进行周期性的发送，在一个周期内需要将所有的波束方向扫完。
终端设备通过一个或多个接收波束接收到网络设备发送的下行信号后，对下行信号进行测量。其中，步骤S104又具体包括以下步骤：所述终端设备测量所述下行信号的以下至少一个信息：波束指示信息、所述至少一个频率资源关联的下行信号的质量信息、天线端口的信道大尺度特性。其中，所述一个或多个接收波束的波束方向全部相同或部分相同。
其中，波束指示信息可以体现为以下的至少一种：波束的绝对索引，波束的相对索引，波束的逻辑索引，波束对应的天线端口的索引，波束对应的天线端口组的索引，波束对应的下行信号的索引，下行同步信号块的时间索引，波束对连接(beam pair link,BPL)信息，波束对应的发送参数(Tx parameter)，波束对应的接收参数(Rx parameter)，波束对应的发送权重，权重矩阵，权重向量(weight，weight vector,weight matrix)，波束对应的接收权重，或者它们的索引；波束对应的发送码本(codebook)，波束对应的接收码本，或者它们的索引。
这里描述的测量波束指示信息，具体是指有些波束标识是测量获得，有些波束标识是其它方式获取的。例如，下行同步信号块的时间索引(6比特表示)，其中3比特携带在物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel，PBCH)中，另外3比特可以以PBCH的解调下行信号(demodulation reference signal，DMRS)的掩码体现。对于终端设备来说，3个比特是通过测量PBCH的DRMS得到，另外3个比特则是通过解码PBCH获得。
其中，下行信号的质量信息包括信噪比(signal-to-(interference and noise)ratio，SINR/SNR)、下行信号接收功率(reference signal received power，RSRP)、下行信号接收质量(reference signal received quality，RSRQ)、接收信号强度指示(received signal strength indicator，RSSI)和信道质量信息(channel quality information，CSI)中的一种或多种。
终端设备上报该至少一个频率资源组中的多个频率资源是否具有QCL关系的指示信息。作为一种实现方式，所述至少一个频率资源组的一个或多个频率资源具有QCL关系的指示信息，具体包括以下至少一种信息：所述至少一个频率资源组的标识、所述一个或多个频率资源的标识、所述波束指示信息、所述至少一个频率资源关联的下行信号的质量信息、天线端口的信道大尺度特性和所述至少一个频率资源的相关度信息。在该实现方式中，网络设备需根据该指示信息确定至少一个频率资源组中的多个频率资源是否具有QCL关系。作为另一种实现方式，该指示消息可以是具体的值，例如若指示信息为第一值，表示至少一个频率资源组中的多个频率资源具有QCL关系；若指示信息为第二值，表示至少一个频率资源组中的多个频率资源不具有QCL关系。在该实现方式中，终端设备确定了至少一个频率资源组中的多个频率资源是否具有QCL关系，网络设备直接接收该确定结果即可。
其中，频率资源关联的下行信号的质量信息可以通过测量在该频率资源上接收到的下行信号的质量得到。
其中，天线端口的信道大尺度特性包括：延迟扩展，平均延迟，多普勒扩展，多普勒频移，平均增益，终端设备接收波束编号，发射/接收信道相关性，接收到达角，接收机天线的空间相关性，主到达角(angel-of-arrival，AoA)，平均到达角，AoA的扩展等。
根据该信道大尺度特性，定义了三种类型的QCL关系：
类型1：平均增益QCL。如果两个天线端口关于平均增益QCL，一般来说这两个天线端口应该位于同一传输点，这样才能保证它们经历的路损相同。
类型2：解调参数QCL，即延迟扩展，多普勒扩展，多普勒频移，平均延迟。如果两个天线端口关于上述四个参数QCL，一般来说这两个天线端口应该位于同一个天线面(panel)，或者由同一个射频链路(RF chain)打出，这样才能保证它们经历的移动速度和相位偏移相同。
类型3：空域参数QCL(spatial QCL)，即波束是否朝向同一方向。如果两个天线端口关于接收侧空域参数QCL(Rx spatial QCL)，一般来说这两个天线端口打出的信号能被终端设备用一个接收波束收到。
其中，至少一个频率资源的相关度信息可以指频率资源与该频率资源组中的参考频率资源之间的相关度。如果频率资源组中的多个频率资源与参考频率资源的相关度高，则这多个频率资源与参考频率资源具有QCL关系。具体地，在包含了主频率资源的组内，参考频率资源就是主频率资源。在没有包括主频率资源的组内，网络设备可以指定某个频率资源为该组的参考频率资源。
具体地，网络设备使用波束在频率资源上发送下行信号，可考虑几种情况。根据实际情况，终端设备上报的指示信息的内容可以有所不同。以多载波上SS block的发送、空域QCL确定为例：
一种情况是，网络设备在每一个载波组内的每一个载波上发送了SS block。
另外，根据在每一个载波上发送的波束的方向是否全部相同、部分相同或完全不同，终端设备测量的结果也有所不同。
如图5a示例的一种多载波上SS block的发送示意图，每个载波在多个波束方向上发送SS block，且每个载波上的波束指示(即SS block time index)对应的发送波束方向相同。具体地，网络设备在同步信号的时频资源位置发送同步信号。终端设备在每个载波上对接收到的每个SS Block进行测量，终端设备测量和上报的内容可以有以下几种方式：
第一种：终端设备测量下行信号后上报相关的内容，由网络设备根据终端设备上报的相关内容来确定载波之间是否QCL。比如，{载波编号#1，波束信息SS block time index#1，波束质量8dB，空域参数AoA 20度；波束信息SS block time index#2，波束质量10dB，空域参数AoA 25度；……}；{载波编号#2，波束信息SS block time index#1，波束质量8dB，空域参数AoA 20度；波束信息SS block time index#2，波束质量10dB，空域参数AoA 25度；……}。网络设备通过分别比较终端设备上报的两个载波上各对应方向的波束质量信息和空域参数，可以得出这两个载波之间是spatial QCL的。若两个载波的某一方向的波束质量信息或空域参数不同，这两个载波可能不具有spatial QCL关系。
第二种，终端设备测量下行信号后上报相关的内容，由网络设备根据终端设备上报的相关内容来确定载波之间是否QCL。比如，{载波编号#1，波束信息SS block time index#1，波束质量8dB，空域参数与主载波相关度80％；波束信息SS block time index#2，波束质量10dB，空域参数与主载波相关度100％；……}。假设这里的参考载波为主载波，载波编号#1与主载波位于一个载波组内，网络设备通过比较该载波上各对应方向的空域参数和与主载波的相关度，若该相关度都超过设定阈值，可以得出该载波编号#1与主载波之间是spatial QCL的。对于其他载波组内的载波，则通过比较其他载波与参考载波的空域参数上的相关度，也可以确定其他载波组内的载波是否具有QCL关系。
第三种，终端设备测量下行信号后，自行确定载波之间是否具有QCL的关系，将是否QCL的指示信息发送给网络设备。比如，{载波编号#1，波束信息SS block time index#2，波束质量10dB}；{载波编号#2，波束信息SS block time index#2，波束质量10dB}；{1比特信息表明载波#1和#2是spatial QCL的}。终端设备根据测量信息，确定两个载波是否具有QCL关系，然后向网络设备上报两个载波是否具有QCL关系的指示信息，该指示信息为1比特信息。网络设备通过1比特信息可以得出这两个载波之间是spatial QCL的。
第四种，终端设备测量下行信号后，发现某两个或多个载波的波束信息、波束质量一致，可以只上报一组信息。比如，{载波编号组#1，波束信息SS block time index#2，波束质量10dB}。由于两个载波测得的波束信息、波束质量完全一致，即QCL关系成立，则终端设备也可以只报一组量来降低开销。网络设备通过上报的形式可以得出这两个载波之间是spatial QCL的。如果QCL关系不成立，则网络设备会得到两组不同的上报量。
对于一个包括N个频率资源的频率资源组，终端设备反馈两两之间是否具有QCL关系，可以采用以下几种形式：
例如，可以使用表格的形式，如表1所示。
表1一个频率资源组中的频率资源的QCL关系
Figure PCTCN2018096984-appb-000001
表1中，“1”表示两个频率资源之间具有QCL关系，“0”表示两个频率资源之间不具有QCL关系，“——”表示是无效信息。当然，反之，也可以是“0”表示两个频率资源之间具有QCL关系，“1”表示两个频率资源之间不具有QCL关系；或者“是”表示两个频率资源之间具有QCL关系，“否”表示两个频率资源之间不具有QCL关系。
另外，从表1可以看出，对角线两侧的值是一样的，终端设备也可以只上报其中一侧的值。
又例如，终端设备可以使用位图(bitmap)的方式反馈。具体地，例如，对于一个有N＝4个频率资源的频率资源组，组中的第一个频率资源为参考频率资源。终端设备使用4个比特(1,1,0,0)表示组中的第一个和第二个频率资源与参考频率资源有QCL关系，而组中的第三个频率资源、第四个频率资源与参考频率资源没有QCL关系。终端设备也可以使用N-1个比特(1,0,0)表示除参考频率资源外的组内其他频率资源与参考频率资源的QCL关系。
如图5b示例的另一种多载波上SS block的发送示意图，每个载波上在多个波束方向上发送SS block，且这多个波束方向只有部分相同。其中，虚线标注的波束是在载波1上发送了而在载波2上没有发送的波束方向。这种情况下，例如，在载波2上的SS block time index#2对应的波束方向和载波1上的SS block time index#2对应的波束方向不同，需要终端设备按照载波编号反馈来区分。其它上报内容可参考前面的描述。终端设备可以根据部分波束的接收信号测量载波是否具有QCL关系。
如图5c示例的又一种多载波上SS block的发送示意图，每个载波上在多个波束方向上发送SS block，且这多个波束方向均不相同。其中，虚线标识的波束是在载波1上发送了而在载波2上没有发送的波束方向。这种情况说明网络设备在这两个载波上一定使用了不同的射频链路。例如，在载波2上的SS block time index#2对应的波束方向和载波1上的SS block time index#2对应的波束方向不同，需要终端设备按照载波编号反馈来区分。由于网络设备在发送下行信号的时候没有采用相同方向的波束，终端设备不能根据该测量结果来确定这两个载波是否具有QCL关系，或者网络设备根据终端设备上报的内容，也不能确定这两个载波是否具有QCL关系。终端设备可以在后续的波束测量中对该QCL关系进行修正。
另一种情况是，网络设备在每一个载波组内的一个载波发送下行信号。如图6示例的又一种多载波上下行信号的发送示意图。载波1和载波2属于一个载波组，网络设备只在载波1发送了SS block，发送的波束有多个方向，不同方向用不同的SS block time index表示。在这种情况下，终端设备可以只上报{载波组编号，波束指示信息，波束质量}。而载 波编号，不同载波之间QCL假设，或者空域参数之间的相关性可以不上报。终端设备在这个阶段只能假设一个载波组内的载波都具有spatial QCL关系。终端设备可以在后续阶段确认是否对于组内每个载波spatial QCL关系都成立。
网络设备在根据终端设备的QCL关系的指示信息对频率资源的QCL关系进行确定后，对预先配置的频率资源组进行更新，并将更新的频率资源组发送给终端设备。因此，可选地，步骤S105之后，该方法还可以包括以下步骤：所述网络设备通知所述终端设备更新后的频率资源组。所述终端设备接收所述网络设备通知的更新后的频率资源组。例如，网络设备预先配置载波组为：{载波组#1：载波1，载波2}；{载波组#2：载波7，载波8}。而如果终端设备上报反馈载波1和载波2spatial QCL成立，而载波7和载波8spatial QCL不成立，则网络设备可能会重新配置载波组为：{载波组#1：载波1，载波2}；{载波组#2：载波7}；{载波组#3：载波8}，并将更新的频率资源组信息通知给终端设备。
需要说明的是，以上网络设备的配置信令和终端设备的上报信令，可以使用数据信道承载的无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)信令发送，也可以使用媒体接入控制控制元素(media access control-control element，MAC-CE)信令或下行控制信息(downlink control information，DCI)信令。使用的信道也可以是广播信道或控制信道。在此不作限定。
可以看出，通过网络设备和终端设备之间的信息交互，实现了针对每个终端设备特定的频率资源分组，使得每个频率资源组内的频率资源对于一个终端设备来说是QCL的，从而网络设备可以采用该频率资源分组为该终端设备服务。
进一步地，由于终端设备可能会移动，终端设备接收波束的方向可能会发生变化，需要针对该终端设备的频率资源的QCL关系进行维护和更新。
例如，在终端设备刚接入网络设备时，网络设备可以发送同步信号来确定针对该终端设备的频率资源的QCL关系。而在后续的QCL关系的维护和更新时，网络设备可以发送CSI-RS来进行QCL关系的更新，当然也可以发送其它下行信号。其中，同步信号是周期性发送的，而CSI-RS可以是周期性、非周期性或半静态发送的。
终端设备发生移动后，网络设备配置服务终端设备的频率资源可能发生变化，则频率资源组的配置也相应的改变。因此，可选地，步骤S105之后，该方法还可以包括以下步骤：所述网络设备通知所述终端设备更新后的频率资源组。所述终端设备接收所述网络设备通知的更新后的频率资源组。终端设备对更新后的频率资源组包括的频率资源是否具有QCL关系的确定过程与前述实施例相同，所不同的是，终端设备接收的下行信号还可以是CSI-RS。在此不再赘述。当然，如果频率资源组的配置未发生改变，则终端设备也可以重新对该频率资源组包括的频率资源是否具有QCL关系进行进一步确认。
其中，若网络设备发送的是CSI-RS，则终端设备上报的指示信息中，波束指示信息可以是CSI-RS资源编号，CSI-RS资源配置编号，或者CSI-RS端口号，或者以上几种编号的组合。
另外，在本实施例中，由于各个频率资源上的波束方向可能不同，网络设备还需要指示终端设备使用哪个载波上的那个波束进行发送和接收。因此，可选地，该方法还包括以下步骤：网络设备向终端设备发送载波资源标识和波束标识。例如，{载波标识#1，波束标识#1，…波束标识#N}用于指示终端设备使用载波#1上的波束#1～波束#N对应的接收波束 方向进行接收。
另外，在发送CSI-RS进行QCL关系的维护和更新时，还可以考虑网络设备和终端设备可以维护多个波束对链路(beam pair link，BPL)的场景。例如，在两个相邻的载波上，一个波束对可能具有spatial QCL关系(例如该波束对经历视距(line-of-sight，LOS))，而另一个波束对可能不具有spatial QCL关系(例如该波束对经历非视距(none-line-of-sight，NLOS))。则所述至少一个频率资源组的多个频率资源具有QCL关系的指示信息，还包括所述一个或多个波束具有QCL关系的指示信息。
在网络设备和终端设备之间维护的波束对和载波可能有以下几种形式：
一种形式是，{载波组#1：载波1，载波2；波束对1；spatial QCL假设成立}；{载波组#1：载波1，载波2；波束对2；spatial QCL假设不成立}。这种形式直接给出了波束对是否具有QCL关系的指示。
另一种形式是，{载波1，波束对1，CSI-RS资源#1；波束对2，CSI-RS资源#2}；{载波2，波束对1，CSI-RS资源#2；波束对2，CSI-RS资源#3}。这种形式则可以通过比较每个波束对的CSI-RS资源对应的天线端口是否具有QCL关系，来确定该波束对是否具有QCL关系。例如，这里的CSI-RS资源#1和CSI-RS资源#2对应的天线端口具有QCL关系，则波束对1具有QCL关系；而CSI-RS资源#2和CSI-RS资源#3对应的天线端口具有QCL关系，则波束对2不具有QCL关系。
根据本发明实施例提供的一种通信方法，通过网络设备和终端设备的信息交互，实现了针对每个终端设备特定的频率资源分组，使得每个频率资源组内的频率资源对于一个终端设备来说是QCL的，从而网络设备可以采用该频率资源分组为该终端设备服务。
以上实施例主要描述了如何通过网络设备和终端设备的信息交互，确定频率资源的QCL关系。下面的实施例重点描述在确定了频率资源的QCL关系，即确定了频率资源组后，如何利用该频率资源的QCL关系。
图7为本发明实施例提供的另一种通信方法的交互流程示意图，该实施例考虑终端设备接入网络设备的场景，则在执行步骤S201之前，还可以包括以下步骤：
步骤A，网络设备发送下行信号，例如同步信号。网络设备可以以扫描的方式在多个波束方向上发送下行信号。这是为了在基于波束的通信系统中保持覆盖。
步骤B，终端设备开机，检测各个频点能量，选择符合条件的频点发起接入。接入频点对应的载波为主载波。
终端设备可以以扫描的方式在多个波束方向上测量能量。在基于波束的通信系统中，需要考虑终端设备接收波束方向的变化。
由于网络设备也是采用扫描的方式发送，终端设备可以选择在一个接收波束方向上驻留一段时间，例如，不小于SS block发送周期的一段时间，用以检测基站发送的所有方向上的能量。如果没有满足接入条件的，终端设备切换接收波束方向，重复上述检测过程。
如果终端设备有N个射频链路，即终端设备能同时支持使用N个接收波束方向，终端设备可以选择同时在不大于N个接收波束方向上驻留一段时间，例如，不小于SS block发送周期的一段时间，用以检测基站发送的所有方向上的能量。如果没有满足条件的，终端设备切换不大于N个接收波束方向，重复上述检测过程。这样可以加速接入进程。
S201、网络设备配置至少一个频率资源组，其中，每个频率资源组包括一个或多个频率资源。
S202、所述网络设备将所述至少一个频率资源组的指示信息发送给终端设备。终端设备接收来自网络设备的至少一个频率资源组的指示信息。
S203、所述网络设备使用至少一个波束在所述至少一个频率资源组对应的频率资源上发送下行信号。所述终端设备通过至少一个波束接收来自网络设备的下行信号，所述下行信号是在所述至少一个频率资源组对应的频率资源上发送的。
S204、所述终端设备测量所述下行信号。
S205、所述终端设备上报所述至少一个频率资源组中的多个频率资源是否具有QCL关系的指示信息。所述网络设备接收来自所述终端设备的用于指示所述至少一个频率资源组的多个频率资源是否具有QCL关系的信息。
以上步骤S201至步骤S205关于频率资源是否具有QCL关系的确定过程可参考前述实施例。
S206，所述网络设备为终端设备配置主频率资源。
由于终端设备上报的QCL关系的指示信息中包括波束质量等信息，网络设备可以根据该波束质量信息重新配置测得信号最强的频率资源为主频率资源。并且网络设备将重新配置的主频率资源通知终端设备。
进一步地，网络设备通知终端设备激活使用其它频率资源，即网络设备发送激活指令给终端设备。
S207，所述终端设备根据所述至少一个频率资源组中的多个频率资源是否具有QCL关系的指示信息，获取每个频率资源组中的其中一个频率资源对应的同步信息。
终端设备在需要激活的频率资源上发起随机接入过程，获得同步信息，该同步信息包括上行同步信息和/或下行同步信息，例如时间提前量(time advance，TA)。在获取同步信息时，由于前面确定了频率资源组，频率资源组中的多个频率资源具有QCL关系，则终端设备只需要获取每个频率资源组中的其中一个频率资源上进行同步所需的同步信息，这是因为具有QCL关系的频率资源之间的同步信息相同，不需要再进行测量。特别地，对于与主频率资源具有QCL关系的其它频率资源，则该随机接入过程可以省去。这样，网络设备可以在一定程度上节省发送同步信息的信令开销。
需要说明的是，若网络设备预先配置频率资源组，且默认该频率资源组中的多个频率资源具有QCL关系，则终端设备也可以只需要获取每个频率资源组中的其中一个频率资源上进行同步所需的同步信息，网络设备可以在一定程度上节省发送同步信息的信令开销。
S208，所述终端设备根据主频率资源与多个辅频率资源具有QCL关系的指示信息，在接收到来自所述网络设备的激活所述辅频率资源的指示之后，激活所述辅频率资源进行数据传输。
一般地，例如，频分双工(frequency division duplexing，FDD)场景中，在n+8个子帧后，辅频率资源被激活，可以供数据传输使用。其中，网络设备在子帧n发送激活辅频率资源的指示。特别地，对于与主频率资源具有QCL关系的其它辅频率资源，可以在k个子帧后使用辅频率资源进行数据传输，其中，0≤k≤8，不需要在接收到激活指示后再等待8个子帧 的时间。从而可以提高频率资源的利用率。
根据本发明实施例提供的一种通信方法，通过网络设备和终端设备的信息交互，实现了针对每个终端设备特定的频率资源分组，使得每个频率资源组内的频率资源对于一个终端设备来说是QCL的，从而网络设备可以采用该频率资源分组为该终端设备服务；对于具有QCL关系的频率资源组，可以只测量该频率资源组中的一个频率资源的上下行同步信息，一定程度上节省了网络设备发送上下行同步信息的信令开销；对于与主频率资源具有QCL关系的其它辅频率资源，辅频率资源可以直接使用进行数据传输，不需要在接收到激活指示后再等待8个子帧的时间，从而可以提高频率资源的利用率。
上述详细阐述了本发明实施例的方法，下面提供了本发明实施例的装置。
本申请实施例可以根据上述方法示例对终端设备或者网络设备进行功能模块的划分，例如，可以对应各个功能划分各个功能模块，也可以将两个或两个以上的功能集成在一个处理模块中。上述集成的模块既可以采用硬件的形式实现，也可以采用软件功能模块的形式实现。需要说明的是，本申请实施例中对模块的划分是示意性的，仅仅为一种逻辑功能划分，实际实现时可以有另外的划分方式。下面以采用对应各个功能划分各个功能模块为例进行说明。
图8示出了一种简化的终端设备结构示意图。便于理解和图示方便，图8中，终端设备以手机作为例子。如图8所示，终端设备包括处理器、存储器、射频电路、天线以及输入输出装置。处理器主要用于对通信协议以及通信数据进行处理，以及对终端设备进行控制，执行软件程序，处理软件程序的数据等。存储器主要用于存储软件程序和数据。射频电路主要用于基带信号与射频信号的转换以及对射频信号的处理。天线主要用于收发电磁波形式的射频信号。输入输出装置，例如触摸屏、显示屏，键盘等主要用于接收用户输入的数据以及对用户输出数据。需要说明的是，有些种类的终端设备可以不具有输入输出装置。
当需要发送数据时，处理器对待发送的数据进行基带处理后，输出基带信号至射频电路，射频电路将基带信号进行射频处理后将射频信号通过天线以电磁波的形式向外发送。当有数据发送到终端设备时，射频电路通过天线接收到射频信号，将射频信号转换为基带信号，并将基带信号输出至处理器，处理器将基带信号转换为数据并对该数据进行处理。为便于说明，图8中仅示出了一个存储器和处理器。在实际的终端设备产品中，可以存在一个或多个处理器和一个或多个存储器。存储器也可以称为存储介质或者存储设备等。存储器可以是独立于处理器设置，也可以是与处理器集成在一起，本申请实施例对此不做限制。
在本申请实施例中，可以将具有收发功能的天线和射频电路视为终端设备的接收单元和发送单元(也可以统称为收发单元)，将具有处理功能的处理器视为终端设备的处理单元。如图8所示，终端设备包括接收单元8001、处理单元8002和发送单元8003。接收单元8001也可以称为接收器、接收机、接收电路等，发送单元8003也可以称为发送器、发射器、发射机、发射电路等。处理单元也可以称为处理器，处理单板，处理模块、处理装置等。
例如，在一个实施例中，接收单元8001用于执行图3所示实施例的S102步骤和S103步骤，处理单元8002用于执行图3所示实施例的S104步骤，以及发送单元8003用于执行 图3所示实施例的S105步骤。
又如，在另一个实施例中，接收单元8001用于执行图7所示实施例的S202、S203和S207步骤，处理单元8002用于执行图7所示实施例的S204和S209步骤，以及发送单元8003用于执行图7所示实施例的S205和S208步骤。
图9示出了一种简化的网络设备结构示意图。网络设备包括射频信号收发及转换部分以及处理单元9003部分，该射频信号收发及转换部分又包括接收单元9001部分和发送单元9002部分(也可以统称为收发单元)。射频信号收发及转换部分主要用于射频信号的收发以及射频信号与基带信号的转换；9003部分主要用于基带处理，对网络设备进行控制等。接收单元9001也可以称为接收器、接收机、接收电路等，发送单元9002也可以称为发送器、发射器、发射机、发射电路等。9003部分通常是网络设备的控制中心，通常可以称为处理单元，用于控制网络设备执行上述图3或图7中关于网络设备所执行的步骤。具体可参见上述相关部分的描述。
9003部分可以包括一个或多个单板，每个单板可以包括一个或多个处理器和一个或多个存储器，处理器用于读取和执行存储器中的程序以实现基带处理功能以及对网络设备的控制。若存在多个单板，各个单板之间可以互联以增加处理能力。作为一中可选的实施方式，也可以是多个单板共用一个或多个处理器，或者是多个单板共用一个或多个存储器，或者是多个单板同时共用一个或多个处理器。
例如，在一个实施例中，处理单元9003用于执行图3所示实施例的S101步骤，发送单元9002用于执行图3所示实施例的S102和S103步骤，以及接收单元9001用于执行图3所示实施例的S105步骤。
又如，在另一个实施例中，处理单元9003用于执行图7所示实施例的S201和S206步骤，发送单元9002用于执行图7所示实施例的S202、S203和S207步骤，以及接收单元9001用于执行图7所示实施例的S205和S208步骤。
作为另一种可选的实施方式，随着片上系统(英文：System-on-chip，简称：SoC)技术的发展，可以将9001部分、9002部分和9003部分的全部或者部分功能由SoC技术实现，例如由一颗基站功能芯片实现，该基站功能芯片集成了处理器、存储器、天线接口等器件，基站相关功能的程序存储在存储器中，由处理器执行程序以实现基站的相关功能。可选的，该基站功能芯片也能够读取该芯片外部的存储器以实现基站的相关功能。
本发明还提供第二实施例，用于解决不同的技术问题。
为了提升无线通信系统的传输速率和效率，在第五代新空口(fifth generation new radio，5G NR)通信系统中网络设备和终端设备之间采用波束进行通信，波束的特点是信号的能量集中在某个方向上。网络设备和终端设备可采用波束成形技术生成波束，波束成形技术具体为数字波束成形技术、模拟波束成形技术和混合波束成形技术，这种波束通信的方法能有效增强信号的抗干扰能力，从而达到更高的传输速率和效率。网络设备和终端设备之间复杂的信道环境会导致无法正常通信，因此需要快速和准确的检测波束失败的情况，如何检测波束失败是目前研究的热点。
本发明第二实施例所要解决的技术问题在于，提供一种通信的方法，能快速的检测波束失败的情况。
在LTE通信系统中，信道的发送无线帧(radio frame，RF)为单位，1个无线帧包括10个子帧(subframe)，每个子帧的长度为1毫秒(ms)，每个子帧包括两个时隙(slot)，每个时隙的长度为0.5毫秒。每个时隙包含的符号的数量和子帧中循环前缀(cyclic prefix，CP)长度有关，如果循环前缀为普通循环前缀(normal CP)，每个时隙包含7个符号，每个子帧包含14个符号；如果循环前缀为扩展循环前缀(extended CP)，每个时隙包括6个符号，每个子帧包括12个符号。在长期演进通信系统中，资源单元(resource element，RE)是时频域上最小的单位，由索引对(k，l)唯一标识，k为子载波索引，l为符号索引。
其中，在长期演进(Long Term Evolution，LTE)通信系统中，支持在多个载波上同时传输数据，以增大系统带宽，从而提高数据的传输速率。例如：参见图10所示，为长期演进通信系统中的载波聚合(Carrier Aggregation，CA)模式，在载波聚合模式下通信系统可以将带内连续的多个载波分量进行聚合，或者将带内多个不连续的载波进行聚合，或者是带外的多个不连续的载波分量进行聚合。
又例如，在双连接(dual connectivity，DC)场景下，终端设备同时连接主小区(master cell)和辅小区(secondary cell)，终端设备同时利用主小区和辅小区同时进行上行传输和下行传输，主小区对应主载波分量，辅小区对应辅载波分量。
其中，在长期演进通信系统中，终端设备在物理层监测链路质量判断失步状态或同步状态，并上报给高层，监测的方法为：终端设备的物理层测量链路质量小于第一阈值的情况下，向高层发送失步指示(out of sync)；终端设备的物理层测量链路质量大于第二阈值的情况下，向高层发送同步指示(in sync)。终端设备的高层在连续收到N个失步指示的情况下，判断链路失败，向网络设备发送链路恢复请求，同时终端设备启动一个定时时长为T1的定时器。如果计时器到期，判断链路恢复失败。在T1内，如果终端设备连续接收到M个同步指示，终端设备判断链路恢复，同时停止计时器。
综上，根据目前的长期演进通信系统中没有公开检测波束的方法，如果将长期演进通信系统中链路检测方法应用于波束检测，判断过程通常耗时较长，增加了通信的时延。
本发明是实施例提供的波束检测方法中，网络设备将表示频率资源组具有QCL关系的配置信息发送给终端设备，以及在频率资源组上发送下行信号，这样终端设备可根据频率资源组的QCL关系，在多个具有QCL关系的频率资源上的下行信号进行测量，从而获得更多的测量机会，相对于单载波的波束检测，能有效提高波束检测的准确性和减少检测时间。
请参见图11a，图11a是本发明实施例提供的一种通信的方法，该方法包括但不限于如下步骤：
S301、网络设备配置至少一个频率资源组。
其中，频率资源表示频域上用于传输数据的资源，每个频率资源组包括至少两个频率资源，频率资源可以为载波分量(carrier component，CC)或带宽部分(bandwidth part，BP)，网络设备根据终端设备上报的频率资源的测量参数，确定具有QCL关系的频率资源，将具有QCL关系的频率资源编为至少一个频率资源组。测量参数包括延迟扩展、平均延迟、多普勒扩展、平均增益、终端设备接收波束编号、发射接收信道相关性、接收到达角(angel of arrival，AOA)、接收天线的空间相关性、主到达角、平均到达角中的至少一种。
QCL关系表示多个天线端口之间具有至少一个相同或相似的通信特征，例如：载波分量1和载波分量2之间具有QCL关系是指发送载波分量1的天线端口和发送载波分量2的天线端口之间具有QCL关系；又例如：波束1和波束2之间具有QCL关系是指发生波束1对应的下行信号的天线端口和发送波束2对应的下行信号的天线端口之间具有QCL关系。
参见图11b所示，频率资源为载波分量，1个频率资源组包括2个载波分量，分别为载波分量1和载波分量2，载波分量1和载波分量2具有QCL关系，网络设备根据终端设备上报的测量参数确定载波分量1和载波分量2的接收功率在到达角之间的分布相似，网络设备确定载波分量1和载波分量2在空域参数上具有QCL关系，即载波分量1和载波分量2具有空域QCL关系。其中，载波分量1和载波分量2可以为相邻的载波分量，也可为不相邻的载波分量。
S302：网络设备向终端设备发送至少一个频率资源组的配置信息，终端设备接收网络设备发送的至少一个频率资源组的配置信息，其中，所述配置信息包括用于表示频率资源组中包含的至少两个频率资源具有QCL关系的信息。
具体地，网络设备可通过RRC信令、MAC-CE消息和DCI中任意一种发送至少一个频率资源组的配置信息。例如：配置信息的所有参数可以通过一个信令发送，还可以通过多个信令发送，其中，每个信令仅发送配置信息的部分参数，本实施例不作限制。
在一种可能的实施方式中，所述配置信息还包括：
频率资源组的第一阶段计数值(也可以称为计数器或者定时器Timer)和第一阶段时间窗中至少一种；和/或
频率资源组内各频率资源的第一阶段计数值(也可以称为计数器或者定时器Timer)和第一阶段时间窗中至少一种。
在另一种可能的实施方式中，所述配置信息还包括：
所述频率资源组的第二阶段计数值和第二阶段时间窗中至少一种；和/或
频率资源组内各频率资源的第二阶段计数值和第二阶段时间窗中至少一种。
在另一种可能的实施方式中，所述配置信息还包括：频率资源组的定时时长，以及频率资源组内各频率资源的定时时长。
其中，第一阶段计数值为波束检测阶段的计数值，第二阶段计数值为波束恢复阶段的计数值。第一阶段时间窗和第二阶段时间窗为一个预设时长的时间区间，第一阶段时间窗为波束检测阶段的时间窗，第二阶段时间窗为波束恢复阶段的时间窗。在频率资源组的数量为多个的情况下，不同的频率资源组设置的第一阶段计数值、第一阶段时间窗、第二阶段时间窗、第二阶段计数值和定时时长可相同，也可以不相同。频率资源组的第一阶段计数值、第一阶段时间窗、第二阶段时间窗和第二阶段计数值和定时时长可以与该频率资源组内各频率资源有关联关系。例如：频率资源组的第一阶段计数值等于该频率资源组内各频率资源的第一阶段计数值进行累加的值，或频率资源组的第一阶段计数值等于该频率资源组内各频率资源对应的最小的第一阶段计数值，其他参数也可以参照上述的关联关系，此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是，频率资源组和频率资源组内各频率资源的第一阶段计数值、第一阶段时间窗、第二阶段时间窗、第二阶段计数值和定时时长中的至少一种可以预存储或预配置 在网络设备和终端设备上，也可以由网络设备配置后通过信令发送给终端设备。
举例说明，参照S201的例子，载波分量组包含载波分量1和载波分量2，载波分量1和载波分量2具有QCL关系，载波分量组的第一阶段计数值为N11，第一阶段时间窗为W11，第二阶段计数值为N12，定时时长为T11；载波分量1的第一阶段计数值为N21，第一阶段时间窗为W21，第二阶段计数值为N22，定时时长为T21；载波分量1的第一阶段计数值为N31，第一阶段时间窗为W31，第二阶段计数值为N32，定时时长为T31。N11＝N21+N31，或N11＝min(N21，N31)。
在一种可能的实施方式中，配置信息还包括：频率资源组的标识、频率资源组内参考频率资源的标识、频率资源组内各频率资源的标识、频率资源组内频率资源和波束的映射关系，以及频率资源组内各频率资源关联的至少一个波束指示信息。
其中，频率资源组的标识用于唯一标识频率资源组的身份，参考频率资源可以为频率资源组内的任意一个频率资源，例如：频率资源为载波分量时，载波分量组内存在主载波分量的情况下，参考频率资源为载波分量组内的主载波分量；载波分量组内不存在主载波分量的情况下，参考频率资源为网络设备指定的任意一个载波分量。参考频率资源的标识用于表示参考频率资源的身份，频率资源的标识用于表示频率资源的身份。频率资源组内每个频率资源关联至少1个波束。在一个频率资源关联的多个波束的情况下，该多个波束一般情况下不具有QCL关系。波束指示信息用于表示波束的身份，波束指示信息包括波束索引、波束的CSI-RS资源号和波束的SRS资源号中的至少一种。可选的，网络设备还可以为频率资源组关联的波束中具有QCL关系的波束分配QCL标示符，以表示频率资源组内具有QCL关系的频率资源。
举例说明，频率资源组内各频率资源的标识：CC group#1：(CC#1，CC#2)，CC group#1为频率资源组的标识，CC#1为载波分量1的标识，CC#2为载波分量2的标识，载波分量1为参考载波分量。载波分量1和载波分量2都关联2个波束，载波分量和波束的映射关系表示为：(CC#1BPL1，CC#1BPL2；CC#2BPL1，CC#2BPL2)。假设CC#1BPL1指示的波束和CC#2BPL1指示的波束具有QCL关系，网络设备可直接通知上述的QCL关系，也可以为具有QCL关系的波束分配1个QCL标示符(QCL FLAG)，例如：(CC#1BPL1QCL FLAG，CC#1BPL2；CC#2BPL2)，表示载波分量1的载波1和载波分量2的载波1具有QCL关系。其中，BPL为波束指示信息。
在一种可能的实施方式中，频率资源组的配置信息还包括：
频率资源组内各频率资源上的下行信号的天线端口号、时频资源位置和周期中至少一种。
其中，不同的频率资源上的下行信号的配置不同。例如：频率资源组内各频率资源上的下行信号的周期不同，参考频率资源上下行信号的周期小于非参考频率资源上的下行信号的周期。
参见图11c所示，为一种载波分量的结构示意图，从图11c可以看出，载波分量组包括载波分量1和载波分量2，载波分量1和载波分量2均关联1个波束，载波分量1的波束和载波分量2的波束具有QCL关系，因此两个波束具有相同的波束方向。载波分量1和载波分量2配置下行信号和控制信道，载波分量1的下行信号和载波分量1的时频位置和 周期不相同。
S303：网络设备使用至少一个波束在至少一个频率资源组对应的频率资源上发送下行信号，终端设备通过至少一个波束在至少一个频率资源组对应的频率资源上接收来自网络设备的下行信号。
具体地，对于任意一个频率资源组内的频率资源，网络设备在每个频率资源上发送一个或多个下行信号，下行信号可以是CSI-RS或SS block。
例如：根据S202的例子，网络设备在载波分量1和载波分量2上分别发送1个下行信号，终端设备在载波分量1和载波分量2上分别接收1个下行信号。
需要说明的是，网络设备可以是1个基站，1个基站在频率资源组上发送下行信号至终端设备。网络设备也可以是多个基站，每个基站上在1个或多个频率资源上发送下行信号给终端设备。
例如：基站在载波分量1上向终端设备发送下行信号1，以及在载波分量2上向终端设备发送下行信号2。
又例如：基站1在载波分量1上向终端设备发送下行信号1，基站2在载波分量2上向终端设备发送下行信号2。
S304、终端设备监测下行信号。
其中，终端设备可根据网络设备指示的波束检测规则或预配置的波束检测规则监测下行信号。终端设备可通过频率资源组内各频率资源上的下行信号的信号质量参数来检测波束。终端设备的物理层测量下行信号的信号质量参数，在下行信号的信号质量参数小于第一阈值的情况下，确定波束质量差)，在下行信号的信号质量参数大于第二阈值的情况下，确定波束质量好。信号质量参数包括下行信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power，RSRP)、下行信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality，RSRQ)、接收信号强度指示(received signal strength indication，RSSI)和SNR中一种或多种。
在一种可能的实施方式中，终端设备监测下行信号，具体包括：
终端设备连续检测到N1次波束质量差的情况下，判断频率资源组关联的波束失败。
其中，N1为频率资源组的第一阶段计数值，终端设备的物理层对频率资源组内所有频率资源的下行信号的信号质量参数进行测量，终端设备的物理层检测到信号质量参数小于第一阈值时，确定波束质量差，终端设备检测到N1次波束质量差的情况下，判断频率资源组关联的波束失败。其中，频率资源组关联的波束失败表示频率资源组内1个或多个波束失败，进一步的，频率资源组关联的波束失败可以是频率资源组关联的波束中具有QCL关系的波束失败。
举例说明，N1＝3，载波分量组包括载波分量1和载波分量2，载波分量1关联载波1和载波2，载波分量2关联载波3和载波4，载波1和载波3具有QCL关系，载波分量1配置有CSI-RS1，载波分量2配置有CSI-RS2，终端设备的物理层检测CSI-RS1和CSI-RS2上的信号质量参数，在信号质量参数小于第一阈值的情况下，确定波束质量差，在连续检测到3次波束质量差的情况下，终端设备判断载波1和载波3失败。
在另一种可能的实施方式中，终端设备在第一阶段时间窗W1内检测到频率资源组的信号质量参数小于预设门限的情况下，判断频率资源组关联的波束失败。
其中，W1为频率资源组的第一阶段时间窗，第一阶段时间窗为波束检测阶段的时间窗。终端设备的物理层在W1内多次测量频率资源组上所有下行信号的信号质量参数，然后对多次测量到的信号质量参数求平均值，若平均值小于预设门限的情况下，判断频率资源组关联的波束失败。其中，频率资源组关联的波束失败表示频率资源组内1个或多个波束失败，进一步的，频率资源组关联的波束失败可以是频率资源组关联的波束中具有QCL关系的波束失败。
举例说明，载波分量组包括载波分量1和载波分量2，载波分量1关联波束1和波束2，载波分量2关联波束3和波束4，波束2和波束4具有QCL关系，载波分量1关联下行信号1，载波分量2关联下行信号2。第一阶段时间窗W1的时长为10ms，终端设备的物理层在10ms的第一阶段时间窗W1内多次测量下行信号1和下行信号2的信号质量参数，对多次测量到的信号质量参数求平均值，若平均值小于预设门限，判断波束2和波束4失败。
在另一种可能的实施方式中，终端设备在第一阶段时间窗W1内连续检测到N1次波束质量差的情况下，判断频率资源组关联的波束失败。
