Description

通信方法及设备 技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及通信方法及设备。
背景技术
基站可以向用户设备(User Equipment，UE)发送寻呼消息，寻呼消息可以用于通知UE接收寻呼请求，系统信息更新，或者通知UE接收地震、海啸预警系统或商业移动告警服务。出于节能的考虑，UE的寻呼接收遵循非连续接收(Discontinuous Reception，DRX)的原则。而在新空口(New Radio，NR)中，UE位于不同波束(beam)的覆盖之下，在UE的beam方向未知的情况下，为了确保UE能接收到寻呼消息，基站可以通过波束扫描(beam sweep)的方式向UE发送寻呼消息，即基站在该UE的所有beam方向上发送寻呼消息。
传统的配置方法可以为：在同一个DRX周期内，基站需要寻呼多个UE，并且每个UE在这个DRX周期内只有一个寻呼时刻(Paging Occasion，PO)。每个PO的长度为一次beam sweep的周期，其中PO以时隙为单位，DRX周期设置为beam sweep周期的整数倍。PO以时隙为单位，将导致PO的长度可能不是整数个子帧，且不同PO在不同帧内的位置是不规律的。由于通信系统中的时间信息是以系统帧号(System Frame Number，SFN)进行广播，则UE虽然可以知道该UE的寻呼消息在第K个PO，但是依然无法知道第K个PO位于第几个帧的第几个子帧，导致UE无法准确识别PO的位置。
发明内容
本申请实施例所要解决的技术问题在于，提供通信方法及设备，可便于第二设备准确识别PO的位置。
第一方面，本申请实施例提供了一种通信方法，包括：第一设备获取PO所包含时间单元的第一数量，以及寻呼帧(Paging Frame，PF)所包含帧的第二数量，根据第一数量和第二数量，得到PO的信息，并在PO的信息所指示的PO向第二设备发送寻呼消息。
在该技术方案中，第一设备可以根据PO所包含时间单元的第一数量，以及PF所包含帧的第二数量，得到PO的信息，进而在PO的信息所指示的PO向第二设备发送寻呼消息，则第二设备可以根据PO所包含时间单元的第一数量，以及PF所包含帧的第二数量，得到PO的信息，进而在PO的信息所指示的PO接收寻呼消息。相对传统的通信方法中，PO以时隙为单位，将导致PO的长度可能不是整数个子帧，且不同PO在不同帧内的位置是不规律的。由于通信系统中的时间信息是以SFN进行广播，则第二设备虽然可以知道该第二设备的寻呼消息在第K个PO，但是依然无法知道第K个PO位于第几个帧的第几个子帧，导致UE无法准确识别PO的位置。然而本申请实施例引入PF的概念，其中一个DRX周期可包括至少一个PF，一个PF可包括至少一个PO，且PF所包含帧的第二数量以及PO所包含时间单元的第一数量可动态扩展，则第一设备可以根据第一数量和第二数量得到PO的信息，PO的信息可以包括发送第二设备的寻呼消息的时间信息，例如PO的信息可以用 于指示在DRX周期内的第几个帧的第几个时间单元传输寻呼消息，则第二设备可以在PO的信息所指示的PO接收寻呼消息，可便于第二设备准确识别PO在DRX周期内的位置，提高接收寻呼消息的准确性。
在一个设计方案中，PF可以包括两个或者两个以上连续帧。例如，DRX周期内的每个PF可以包括2个连续帧、3个连续帧或者5个连续帧等。
在该设计方案中，若PF包括两个或者两个以上连续帧，则每一个PF的长度可以增大，位于PF中的每一个PO所包含时间单元的第一数量可以增大，第一设备可以在第二设备的多个beam方向上发送寻呼消息，以确保第二设备可准确接收到该寻呼消息，可提高寻呼消息传输的可靠性。例如，第二设备在NR场景位于不同beam的覆盖之下，在第二设备的beam方向未知的情况下，为了确保第二设备能接收到寻呼消息，第一设备可以通过beam sweep的方式向第二设备发送寻呼消息，即第一设备在包含至少两个时间单元的PO向该第二设备的所有beam方向上发送寻呼消息。
在一个设计方案中，第一设备获取PF所包含帧的第二数量之后，可以确定PF所包含的起始帧，将起始帧及其之后的至少一个帧确定为PF，起始帧及其之后的至少一个帧的数量与第二数量相同。
在该设计方案中，第一设备可以使用LTE系统中PF的配置方法确定PF所包含的起始帧，并将起始帧及其之后的至少一个帧确定为PF，通过上述方法可以确定PF所包含的帧为两个或者两个以上连续帧，可提高寻呼消息传输的可靠性，且本申请中PF的配置方法相对LTE系统中PF的配置方法改动较小，操作便捷，可降低成本。例如，第一设备获取PF所包含帧的第二数量为2个，基于LTE系统中PF的配置方法可以确定本申请中PF所包含的起始帧位于DRX周期内的第一个帧，则第一设备可以将DRX周期内的第一个帧和第二个帧确定为PF。
在一个设计方案中，第一设备可以确定PO位于PF中第一至第n个时间单元，第10*k*m/2-n+1至第10*k*m/2个时间单元，第10*k*m/2+1至第10*k*m/2+n个时间单元，或者第10*k*m-n+1至第10*k*m个时间单元，其中n为第一数量，m为第二数量，k为正整数。
在该设计方案中，当时间单元为子帧时，k＝1；当时间单元为时隙时，k为预先配置的每个子帧所包含时隙的第三数量。用于传输不同第二设备的寻呼消息的PO在PF中是连续非均匀分布的，例如，若k＝1，m＝2，n＝2，且该PF中包括四个PO，则第一PO可以位于PF中的第一个子帧和第二个子帧，第二PO可以位于PF中的第九个子帧和第十个子帧，第三PO可以位于PF中的第十一个子帧和第十二个子帧，第四PO可以位于PF中的第十九个子帧和第二十个子帧。相对PO在PF中均匀分布，本申请中第一PO和第二PO之间的间隔较长，第三PO和第四PO之间的间隔较长，可便于第一设备在该PF中除PO以外的时间单元配置特殊子帧。
在一个设计方案中，当计算得到的PF包括一个PO时，第一设备可以获取第二设备的PO标识，当第二设备的PO标识为第一标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*m-n+1至第10*k*m个时间单元。
在一个设计方案中，当计算得到的PF包括两个PO时，第一设备可以获取第二设备的 PO标识，当第二设备的PO标识为第一标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第一至第n个时间单元；当第二设备的PO标识为第二标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*m-n+1至第10*k*m个时间单元。
在一个设计方案中，当计算得到的PF包括四个PO时，第一设备可以获取第二设备的PO标识，当第二设备的PO标识为第一标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*m/2+1至第10*k*m/2+n个时间单元；当第二设备的PO标识为第二标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*m/2-n+1至第10*k*m/2个时间单元；当第二设备的PO标识为第三标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第一至第n个时间单元；当第二设备的PO标识为第四标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*m-n+1至第10*k*m个时间单元。
在一个设计方案中，第一设备可以确定PO位于PF中第一至第n个时间单元，第10*k*m/4+1至第10*k*m/4+n个时间单元，第10*k*m/2+1至第10*k*m/2+n个时间单元，或者第10*k*m*3/4+1至第10*k*m*3/4+n个时间单元，其中m为第二数量，n为第一数量，k为正整数。
在该设计方案中，当时间单元为子帧时，k＝1；当时间单元为时隙时，k为预先配置的每个子帧所包含时隙的第三数量。用于传输不同第二设备的寻呼消息的PO在PF中是连续均匀分布的，例如若k＝1，m＝2，n＝2，且该PF中包括四个PO，则第一PO可以位于PF中的第一个子帧和第二个子帧，第二PO可以位于PF中的第六个子帧和第七个子帧，第三PO可以位于PF中的第十一个子帧和第十二个子帧，第四PO可以位于PF中的第十六个子帧和第十七个子帧。其中，各个PO之间的间隔相同。相对PO在PF中非均匀分布，本申请中各个PO之间的间隔相同，可便于第一设备确定各个PO的信息，操作便捷。
在一个设计方案中，当计算得到的PF包括一个PO时，第一设备可以获取第二设备的PO标识，当第二设备的PO标识为第一标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第一至第n个时间单元。
在一个设计方案中，当计算得到的PF包括两个PO时，第一设备可以获取第二设备的PO标识，当第二设备的PO标识为第一标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第一至第n个时间单元；当第二设备的PO标识为第二标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*m/2+1至第10*k*m/2+n个时间单元。

在一个设计方案中，第二数量可以是预配置的，或者根据第一数量得到的。
在一个设计方案中，当时间单元为子帧时，第一设备可以将第一数量确定为第二数量。
在该技术方案中，PF所包含帧的第二数量无需独立配置，可节省开销。例如，当PO 所包含子帧的第一数量为2个时，第一设备可以确定PF所包含帧的第二数量为2个。
在一个设计方案中，当时间单元为时隙时，第一设备可以确定预先配置的每个子帧所包含时隙的第三数量，将第一数量除以第三数量，并将得到的商向上取整，得到第二数量。
在该技术方案中，PF所包含帧的第二数量无需独立配置，可节省开销。例如，若PO所包含时隙的第一数量为10个，且在NR中一个子帧包括四个时隙，则第一设备可以确定第三数量为4个，将第一数量除以第三数量，得到的商为2.5，向上取整为3，则第一设备可以确定PF包括三个帧，即PF所包含帧的第二数量为3个。
在一个设计方案中，第一设备可以确定PO位于PF中第10*k*s+1个时间单元，第10*k*s+5个时间单元，第10*k*s+6个时间单元，或者第10*k*s+10个时间单元，其中s＝0，1，2…m-1，m为第二数量，k为正整数。
在该技术方案中，当时间单元为子帧时，k＝1；当时间单元为时隙时，k为预先配置的每个子帧所包含时隙的第三数量。第一设备可以以PF所包含的每个帧为单位，使用LTE系统中PO的配置方法确定PO的信息，PO的信息的确定方法简单，可节省开销。例如，若k＝1，m＝2，n＝2，第一设备确定PO所包含的第一个子帧位于PF中第十个子帧，则第一设备可以确定PO所包含的第二个子帧位于PF中第二十个子帧，即PO位于PF中第十个子帧和第二十个子帧。

具体实施方式
下面结合本申请实施例中的附图对本申请实施例进行描述。
为了更好的理解本申请实施例公开的一种通信方法、装置以及系统，下面首先对本申请实施例适用的网络架构进行描述。请参见图1，图1是本申请实施例公开的一种通信系统的架构示意图。如图1所示，该通信系统可以包括第一设备101以及至少一个第二设备102。其中，第一设备和第二设备可以建立数据通信，第一设备可以通过数据通信向第二设备发送PO所包含时间单元的第一数量，第一设备可以根据PO所包含时间单元的第一数量 和PF所包含帧的第二数量，得到PO的信息，并在PO的信息所指示的PO向第二设备发送寻呼消息，则第二设备可以从第一设备接收PO所包含时间单元的第一数量，根据PO所包含时间单元的第一数量和PF所包含帧的第二数量，得到PO的信息，并在PO的信息所指示的PO接收寻呼消息。
其中，第一设备可以是用于与移动台通信的设备，具体可以是无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Networks，WLAN)中的接入点(Access Point，AP)、全球移动通信系统(Global System for Mobile Communication，GSM)或码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access，CDMA)中的基站收发信台(Base Transceiver Station，BTS)、宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access，WCDMA)中的基站(NodeB，NB)、LTE系统中的演进型基站(Evolutional Node B，eNB)、中继站或接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备、未来5G网络中的接入网设备以及未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network，PLMN)中的接入网设备等中的任意一种。需要说明的是，本申请具体实施例将第一设备以一般意义上的基站为例进行描述。
其中，第二设备也可以称为终端设备、UE、移动台、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置等，其具体可以是WLAN中的站点(Station，ST)、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、个人数字处理(Personal Digital Assistant，PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备、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网络中的移动台以及未来演进的PLMN网络中的终端设备等中的任意一种。需要说明的是，本申请具体实施例将第二设备以一般意义上的UE为例进行描述。
在介绍本申请的具体实施例之前，首先对本申请中可能涉及到的DRX、PF、PO等概念进行一些简单说明。第二设备的寻呼接收遵循DRX原则，即小区向该小区内所有第二设备发送该小区的DRX周期，每个第二设备可以基于自身的电量与寻呼系统来设置该第二设备的DRX。在同一个DRX周期内，第一设备需要在不同PO向不同第二设备发送寻呼消息，并且第一设备在这个DRX周期内只有一个PO向一个第二设备发送寻呼消息。其中，一个DRX周期可以包括至少一个PF，PF为用于传输寻呼消息的一个帧或者多个连续帧，PF所包含帧的数量是可配置的。一个PF可以包括至少一个PO，PO为用于传输寻呼消息的时间单元，PO所包含时间单元的数量是可配置的。需要说明的是，PO指的是一个时间段，例如在PF中的第一个帧所包含的时间段，或者在PF中的第41个时隙至第48个时隙之间的时间段。本发明中提到的小区可以是基站对应的小区，小区可以属于宏基站，也可以属于小小区(small cell)对应的基站，这里的小小区可以包括城市小区(Metro cell)、微小区(Micro cell)、微微小区(Pico cell)以及毫微微小区(Femto cell)等，这些小小区具有覆盖范围小、发射功率低的特点，适用于提供高速率的数据传输服务的场景。
第一设备可以根据PF所包含帧的数量，得到PF的信息。PF的信息可以包括PF的时间信息，包括而不限于起始时刻，帧号，时隙号，结束时刻，持续时间，等等。其中帧号可以为PF所包含各个帧的帧号，或者帧号可以为PF所包含起始帧的帧号以及PF所包含结束帧的帧号。
第一设备可以根据PF所包含帧的数量和PO所包含时间单元的数量，得到PO的信息。PO的信息可以包括PO的时间信息，包括而不限于起始时刻，子帧号，时隙号，结束时刻，持续时间，等等。其中子帧号可以为PO所包含各个子帧的子帧号，或者子帧号可以为PO所包含起始子帧的子帧号以及PO所包含结束子帧的子帧号。其中时隙号可以为PO所包含各个时隙的时隙号，或者时隙号可以为PO所包含起始时隙的时隙号以及PO所包含结束时隙的时隙号。
时间单元可以包括子帧或者时隙。其中，一个帧可以包括10个子帧，在LTE系统中，一个子帧可以包括2个时隙；在NR中，一个子帧可以包括2个时隙、4个时隙、6个时隙或者8个时隙等。
基于图1所示的通信系统的架构示意图，请参见图2，图2是本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法，该方法包括但不限于如下步骤：
步骤S201：基站通过高层信令或者广播消息向UE发送PO所包含子帧的第一数量和PF所包含帧的第二数量。
其中，第一数量和第二数量是基站独立配置的。
步骤S202：基站根据第二数量，得到PF的信息。
基站可以确定PF所包含的起始帧，将起始帧及其之后的至少一个帧确定为PF，起始帧及其之后的至少一个帧的数量与第二数量相同。例如，第二数量为3个，PF所包含的起始帧的帧号为0，若PF的信息包括所包含帧的帧号，则基站可以确定该帧号为0，1，2；若PF的信息包括所包含起始帧的帧号，以及结束帧的帧号，则基站可以确定该帧号为0，2。需要说明的是，本申请实施例中PF所包含帧的第二数量可以为一个，也可以为多个，具体不受本申请实施例的限定，当PF所包含帧的第二数量为多个时，PF所包含帧为连续帧，例如两个连续帧或者两个以上连续帧。
具体地，基站可以基于UE的相关参数确定PF所包含帧的起始帧，示例性的，基站可以通过如下公式计算PF所包含帧的起始帧：
SFNmodT＝(TdivN)*(UE_IDmodN)
其中，SFN表示起始帧的帧号，T表示DRX周期，N＝min(T,nB)，nB可以为4T、2T、T、T/2、T/4、T/8、T/16或者T/32，UE_ID＝IMSI mod 1024，IMSI表示UE的国际移动用户识别码(International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number，IMSI)。
以图8A所示的PF的结构示意图为例，T＝16帧，nB＝T/4，m＝2，则基站基于上述公式可以确定N＝4，T div N＝4。若UE_ID mod N＝0，则基站可以确定(TdivN)*(UE_IDmodN)＝0，PF所包含帧的起始帧的帧号为0，即起始帧位于DRX周期内的第一个帧，则基站可以确定用于传输该UE的寻呼消息的PF位于DRX周期内的第一个帧和第二个帧。若UE_ID mod N＝1，则基站可以确定(TdivN)*(UE_IDmodN)＝4，PF所包含帧的起始帧的帧号为4，即起始帧位于DRX周期内的第五个帧，则基站可以确定用于传输该UE的寻呼消息的PF位于DRX周期内的第五个帧和第六个帧。若UE_IDmodN＝2，则基站可以确定(TdivN)*(UE_IDmodN)＝8，PF所包含帧的起始帧的帧号为8，即起始帧位于DRX周期内的第九个帧，则基站可以确定用于传输该UE的寻呼消息的PF位于DRX周期 内的第九个帧和第十个帧。若UE_ID mod N＝3，则基站可以确定(TdivN)*(UE_IDmodN)＝12，PF所包含帧的起始帧的帧号为12，即起始帧位于DRX周期内的第十三个帧，则基站可以确定用于传输该UE的寻呼消息的PF位于DRX周期内的第十三个帧和第十四个帧。
在一个设计方案中，DRX周期所包含帧的数量大于等于第二数量与DRX周期所包含PF的数量的乘积。以图8A为例，T＝16帧，即DRX所包含帧的数量为16，若第二数量为2，则DRX周期所包含PF的数量需小于等于8个。
步骤S203：基站根据第一数量，得到在PF的信息所指示PF内PO的信息，PO是连续非均匀分布的。
具体地，PO在PF中可以是连续分布的，也可以是非连续分布的，且PO在PF中可以是均匀分布的，也可以是非均匀分布的。为了便于在PF中设置特殊子帧，基站可以通过连续且非均匀分布的方式配置PO。PO可以位于PF中第一至第n个子帧，第10*k*m/2-n+1至第10*k*m/2个子帧，第10*k*m/2+1至第10*k*m/2+n个子帧，或者第10*k*m-n+1至第10*k*m个子帧，其中n为第一数量，m为第二数量，k＝1。以图8B所示的PO的结构示意图为例，若m＝2，n＝2，PO的信息包括PO所包含子帧的子帧号，该子帧号为0，1，则基站可以确定PO位于PF中第一个子帧和第二个子帧。若该子帧号为8，9，则基站可以确定PO位于PF中第九个子帧和第十个子帧。若该子帧号为10，11，则基站可以确定PO位于PF中第十一个子帧或者第十二个子帧。若该子帧号为18，19，则基站可以确定PO位于PF中第十九个子帧或者第二十个子帧。需要说明的是，PO的信息包含但不限定于PO所包含子帧的子帧号，也可以为PO所包含起始子帧的子帧号，以及结束子帧的子帧号，等等。需要说明的是，本申请实施例中PO所包含子帧的第一数量可以为一个，也可以为多个，具体不受本申请实施例的限定。
在一个设计方案中，第一数量与预设第一数值之间的乘积小于等于第二数量与预设第二数值之间的乘积。示例性的，一个帧可以包括10个子帧，一个PF中最多可以包括4个PO，则预设第一数值可以为4，预设第二数值可以为10，即4*n≤10*m。
在一个设计方案中，当计算得到的PF包括一个PO时，第一设备可以获取第二设备的PO标识，当第二设备的PO标识为第一标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*m-n+1至第10*k*m个子帧。其中，k＝1。
在一个设计方案中，当计算得到的PF包括两个PO时，第一设备可以获取第二设备的PO标识，当第二设备的PO标识为第一标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第一至第n个子帧；当第二设备的PO标识为第二标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*m-n+1至第10*k*m个子帧。其中，k＝1。
在一个设计方案中，当计算得到的PF包括四个PO时，第一设备可以获取第二设备的PO标识，当第二设备的PO标识为第一标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*m/2+1至第10*k*m/2+n个子帧；当第二设备的PO标识为第二标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*m/2-n+1至第10*k*m/2个子帧；当第二设备的PO标识为第三标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第一至第n个子帧；当第二设备的PO标识为第四标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*m-n+1至第10*k*m个子帧。其中，k＝1。
具体地，基站可以基于UE的相关参数确定PO标识，示例性的，基站可以通过如下公式计算PO标识：
i_s＝floor(UE_ID/N)mod Ns
其中，i_s表示UE的PO标识，UE_ID＝IMSI mod 1024，IMSI表示UE的IMSI，N＝min(T，nB)，T表示DRX周期，nB可以为4T、2T、T、T/2、T/4、T/8、T/16或者T/32，Ns＝max(1，nB/T)，Ns可以表示为一个PF中所包含PO的数量。
示例性的，PO标识和PO的信息之间的对应关系可以如表一所示：
表一
Figure PCTCN2018115378-appb-000001
其中，当PF包含一个PO，且PO标识为0时，PO的信息可以包括持续时间，例如PF中第10*m-n+1至第10*m个子帧。当PF包含两个PO，且PO标识为0时，PO的信息可以包括持续时间，例如PF中第一至第n个子帧；当PO标识为1时，PO的信息可以为PF中第10*m-n+1至第10*m个子帧。当PF包含四个PO，且PO标识为0时，PO的信息可以包括持续时间，例如PF中第10*m/2+1至第10*m/2+n个子帧；当PO标识为1时，PO的信息可以为PF中第10*m/2-n+1至第10*m/2个子帧；当PO标识为2时，PO的信息可以为PF中第一至第n个子帧；当PO标识为3时，PO的信息可以为PF中第10*m-n+1至第10*m个子帧。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中PO标识和PO的信息之间的对应关系包含但不局限于上述方式，例如当PF包含四个PO，且PO标识为0时，PO的信息可以包括持续时间，例如PF中第10*m-n+1至第10*m个子帧；当PO标识为1时，PO的信息可以为PF中第一至第n个子帧；当PO标识为2时，PO的信息可以为PF中第10*m/2-n+1至第10*m/2个子帧；当PO标识为3时，PO的信息可以为PF中第10*m/2+1至第10*m/2+n个子帧。
步骤S204：UE根据第二数量，得到PF的信息。
UE接收寻呼消息之前，需要获取PO的信息，进而在PO的信息所指示的PO接收寻呼消息。需要说明的是，本申请实施例中UE获取PF的信息的实施方式和基站获取PF的信息的实施方式相同，则步骤S204具体可以参见步骤S202的描述，本申请实施例不再赘述。
步骤S205：UE根据第一数量，得到在PF的信息所指示PF内PO的信息。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中UE获取PO的信息的实施方式和基站获取PO的信息的实施方式相同，则步骤S205具体可以参见步骤S203的描述，本申请实施例不再赘述。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例不限定步骤S204和步骤S205在图2中的执行顺序，UE从基站接收到PO所包含子帧的第一数量和PF所包含帧的第二数量之后，可以执行步骤 S204和步骤S205，例如，步骤S204和步骤S205可以在步骤S202之前或者之后执行，也可以在步骤S203之前或者之后执行，还可以在步骤S206之前或者之后执行。
步骤S206：基站在PO的信息所指示PO向UE发送寻呼消息，其中PO是连续非均匀分布的。
基站得到PO的信息之后，可以在PO的信息所指示的PO向UE发送寻呼消息。例如，PF为DRX周期内的第一个帧和第二个帧，PO的信息为PF中第十九个子帧和第二十个子帧，则基站可以在DRX周期内第十九个子帧和第二十个子帧向UE发送寻呼消息。
通过本申请实施例，基站可以在UE的至少一个beam方向上向UE发送寻呼消息，以确保UE可准确接收到该寻呼消息，提高寻呼消息的传输可靠性。
在一个设计方案中，UE得到PO的信息之后，可以在PO的信息所指示的PO接收寻呼消息。例如，PF为DRX周期内的第一个帧和第二个帧，PO的信息为PF中第十九个子帧和第二十个子帧，则UE可以在DRX周期内第十九个子帧和第二十个子帧接收寻呼消息。
在图2所描述的方法中，基站通过高层信令或者广播消息向UE发送PO所包含子帧的第一数量和PF所包含帧的第二数量，基站根据第一数量和第二数量，得到PO的信息，并在PO的信息所指示PO向UE发送寻呼消息，则UE可根据第一数量和第二数量，得到PO的信息，并在PO的信息所指示PO接收寻呼消息，可便于第二设备准确识别PO的位置。
基于图1所示的通信系统的架构示意图，请参见图3，图3是本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法，该方法包括但不限于如下步骤：
步骤S301：基站通过高层信令或者广播消息向UE发送PO所包含时隙的第一数量和PF所包含帧的第二数量。
其中，第一数量和第二数量是基站独立配置的。
步骤S302：基站根据第二数量，得到PF的信息。
需要说明的是，步骤S302具体可参见步骤S202的描述，本申请实施例不再赘述。
步骤S303：基站根据第一数量，得到在PF的信息所指示PF内PO的信息。
具体地，PO在PF中可以是连续分布的，也可以是非连续分布的，且PO在PF中可以是均匀分布的，也可以是非均匀分布的。为了便于在PF中设置特殊子帧，基站可以通过连续且非均匀分布的方式配置PO。PO可以位于PF中第一至第n个时隙，第10*k*m/2-n+1至第10*k*m/2个时隙，第10*k*m/2+1至第10*k*m/2+n个时隙，或者第10*k*m-n+1至第10*k*m个时隙，其中n为第一数量，m为第二数量，k用于表示每个子帧所包含时隙的第三数量，例如当一个子帧包括两个时隙时，k＝2；当一个子帧包括4个时隙时，k＝4；当一个子帧包括6个时隙时，k＝6；当一个子帧包括8个时隙时，k＝8。以图8C所示的PO的结构示意图为例，若m＝1，k＝2，n＝2，PO的信息包括PO所包含时隙的时隙号，该时隙号为0，1，则基站可以确定PO位于PF中第一个时隙和第二个时隙。若该时隙号为8，9，则基站可以确定PO位于PF中第九个时隙和第十个时隙。若该时隙号为10，11，则基站可以确定PO位于PF中第十一个时隙或者第十二个时隙。若该时隙号为18，19，则基站可以确定PO位于PF中第十九个时隙或者第二十个时隙。需要说明的是，PO的信息包含但不限定于PO所包含时隙的时隙号，也可以为PO所包含起始时隙的时隙号，以及结束时隙的时隙号， 等等。需要说明的是，本申请实施例中PO所包含时隙的第一数量可以为一个，也可以为多个，具体不受本申请实施例的限定。
在一个设计方案中，第一数量与预设第一数值之间的乘积小于等于第二数量与预设第二数值之间的乘积。示例性的，一个帧可以包括10个子帧，一个子帧可以包括k个时隙，一个PF中最多可以包括4个PO，则预设第一数值可以为4，预设第二数值可以为10*k，即4*n≤10*k*m。
在一个设计方案中，当计算得到的PF包括一个PO时，第一设备可以获取第二设备的PO标识，当第二设备的PO标识为第一标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*m-n+1至第10*k*m个时隙。其中，k为每个子帧所包含时隙的第三数量。
在一个设计方案中，当计算得到的PF包括两个PO时，第一设备可以获取第二设备的PO标识，当第二设备的PO标识为第一标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第一至第n个时隙；当第二设备的PO标识为第二标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*m-n+1至第10*k*m个时隙。其中，k为每个子帧所包含时隙的第三数量。
在一个设计方案中，当计算得到的PF包括四个PO时，第一设备可以获取第二设备的PO标识，当第二设备的PO标识为第一标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*m/2+1至第10*k*m/2+n个时隙；当第二设备的PO标识为第二标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*m/2-n+1至第10*k*m/2个时隙；当第二设备的PO标识为第三标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第一至第n个时隙；当第二设备的PO标识为第四标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*m-n+1至第10*k*m个时隙。其中，k为每个子帧所包含时隙的第三数量。
具体地，基站可以基于UE的相关参数确定PO标识，示例性的，基站可以通过如下公式计算PO标识：
i_s＝floor(UE_ID/N)mod Ns
其中，i_s表示UE的PO标识，UE_ID＝IMSI mod 1024，IMSI表示UE的IMSI，N＝min(T，nB)，T表示DRX周期，nB可以为4T、2T、T、T/2、T/4、T/8、T/16或者T/32，Ns＝max(1，nB/T)，Ns可以表示为一个PF中所包含PO的数量。
示例性的，PO标识和PO的信息之间的对应关系可以如表二所示：
表二
Figure PCTCN2018115378-appb-000002
其中，当PF包含一个PO，且PO标识为0时，PO的信息可以包括持续时间，例如PF中第10*k*m-n+1至第10*k*m个时隙。当PF包含两个PO，且PO标识为0时，PO的 信息可以包括持续时间，例如PF中第一至第n个时隙；当PO标识为1时，PO的信息可以为PF中第10*k*m-n+1至第10*k*m个时隙。当PF包含四个PO，且PO标识为0时，PO的信息可以包括持续时间，例如PF中第10*k*m/2+1至第10*k*m/2+n个时隙；当PO标识为1时，PO的信息可以为PF中第10*k*m/2-n+1至第10*k*m/2个时隙；当PO标识为2时，PO的信息可以为PF中第一至第n个时隙；当PO标识为3时，PO的信息可以为PF中第10*k*m-n+1至第10*k*m个时隙。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中PO标识和PO的信息之间的对应关系包含但不局限于上述方式，例如当PF包含四个PO，且PO标识为0时，PO的信息可以包括持续时间，例如PF中第10*k*m-n+1至第10*k*m个时隙；当PO标识为1时，PO的信息可以为PF中第一至第n个时隙；当PO标识为2时，PO的信息可以为PF中第10*k*m/2-n+1至第10*k*m/2个时隙；当PO标识为3时，PO的信息可以为PF中第10*k*m/2+1至第10*k*m/2+n个时隙。
步骤S304：UE根据第二数量，得到PF的信息。
UE接收寻呼消息之前，需要获取PO的信息，进而在PO的信息所指示的PO接收寻呼消息。需要说明的是，本申请实施例中UE获取PF的信息的实施方式和基站获取PF的信息的实施方式相同，则步骤S304具体可以参见步骤S202的描述，本申请实施例不再赘述。

步骤S306：基站在PO的信息所指示PO向UE发送寻呼消息，其中PO是连续非均匀分布的。
基站得到PO的信息之后，可以在PO的信息所指示的PO向UE发送寻呼消息。例如，PF为DRX周期内的第一个帧和第二个帧，PO的信息为PF中第十九个时隙和第二十个时隙，则基站可以在DRX周期内第十九个时隙和第二十个时隙向UE发送寻呼消息。
通过本申请实施例，基站可以在UE的至少一个beam方向上向UE发送寻呼消息，以确保UE可准确接收到该寻呼消息，提高寻呼消息的传输可靠性。
在一个设计方案中，UE得到PO的信息之后，可以在PO的信息所指示的PO接收寻呼消息。例如，PF为DRX周期内的第一个帧和第二个帧，PO的信息为PF中第十九个时隙和第二十个时隙，则UE可以在DRX周期内第十九个时隙和第二十个时隙接收寻呼消息。

需要说明的是，步骤S402具体可参见步骤S202的描述，本申请实施例不再赘述。
步骤S403：基站根据第一数量，得到在PF的信息所指示PF内PO的信息。
具体地，PO在PF中可以是连续分布的，也可以是非连续分布的，且PO在PF中可以是均匀分布的，也可以是非均匀分布的。若不考虑特殊子帧的设置，基站可以通过连续且均匀分布的方式配置PO。PO可以位于PF中第一至第n个子帧，第10*k*m/4+1至第10*k*m/4+n个子帧，第10*k*m/2+1至第10*k*m/2+n个子帧，或者第10*k*m*3/4+1至第10*k*m*3/4+n个子帧，其中n为第一数量，m为第二数量，k＝1。以图8D所示的PO的结构示意图为例，若m＝2，n＝2，PO的信息包括PO所包含子帧的子帧号，该子帧号为0，1，则基站可以确定PO位于PF中第一个子帧和第二个子帧。若该子帧号为5，6，则基站可以确定PO位于PF中第六个子帧和第七个子帧。若该子帧号为10，11，则基站可以确定PO位于PF中第十一个子帧或者第十二个子帧。若该子帧号为15，16，则基站可以确定PO位于PF中第十六个子帧或者第十七个子帧。需要说明的是，PO的信息包含但不限定于PO所包含子帧的子帧号，也可以为PO所包含起始子帧的子帧号，以及结束子帧的子帧号，等等。需要说明的是，本申请实施例中PO所包含子帧的第一数量可以为一个，也可以为多个，具体不受本申请实施例的限定。

具体地，基站可以基于UE的相关参数确定PO标识，示例性的，基站可以通过如下公式计算PO标识：
i_s＝floor(10*m div Ns)*(floor(UE_ID/N)mod Ns)
其中，i_s表示UE的PO标识，m表示第二数量，Ns＝max(1，nB/T)，Ns可以表示为一个PF中所包含PO的数量，UE_ID＝IMSI mod 1024，IMSI表示UE的IMSI，N＝min(T，nB)，T表示DRX周期，nB可以为4T、2T、T、T/2、T/4、T/8、T/16或者T/32。

在一个设计方案中，当计算得到的PF包括两个PO时，第一设备可以获取第二设备的PO标识，当第二设备的PO标识为第一标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*s+5个时隙；当第二设备的PO标识为第二标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*s+10个时隙。其中，k为每个子帧所包含时隙的第三数量。
在一个设计方案中，当计算得到的PF包括四个PO时，第一设备可以获取第二设备的PO标识，当第二设备的PO标识为第一标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*s+1个时隙；当第二设备的PO标识为第二标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*s+5个时隙；当第二设备的PO标识为第三标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*s+6个时隙；当第二设备的PO标识为第四标识时，第一设备可以确定PO位于计算得到的PF中第10*k*s+10个时隙。其中，k为每个子帧所包含时隙的第三数量。
具体地，基站可以基于UE的相关参数确定PO标识，示例性的，基站可以通过如下公式计算PO标识：
i_s＝floor(UE_ID/N)mod Ns
其中，i_s表示UE的PO标识，UE_ID＝IMSI mod 1024，IMSI表示UE的IMSI，N＝min(T，nB)，T表示DRX周期，nB可以为4T、2T、T、T/2、T/4、T/8、T/16或者T/32，Ns＝max(1，nB/T)，Ns可以表示为一个PF中所包含PO的数量。
示例性的，PO标识和PO的信息之间的对应关系可以如表六所示：
表六
Figure PCTCN2018115378-appb-000007
Figure PCTCN2018115378-appb-000008
其中，当PF包含一个PO，且PO标识为0时，PO的信息可以包括持续时间，例如PF中第10*k*s+10个时隙。当PF包含两个PO，且PO标识为0时，PO的信息可以包括持续时间，例如PF中第10*k*s+5个时隙；当PO标识为1时，PO的信息可以为PF中第10*k*s+10个时隙。当PF包含四个PO，且PO标识为0时，PO的信息可以包括持续时间，例如PF中第10*k*s+1个时隙；当PO标识为1时，PO的信息可以为PF中第10*k*s+5个时隙；当PO标识为2时，PO的信息可以为PF中第10*k*s+6个时隙；当PO标识为3时，PO的信息可以为PF中第10*k*s+10个时隙。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中PO标识和PO的信息之间的对应关系包含但不局限于上述方式，例如当PF包含四个PO，且PO标识为0时，PO的信息可以包括持续时间，例如PF中第10*k*s+10个时隙；当PO标识为1时，PO的信息可以为PF中第10*k*s+1个时隙；当PO标识为2时，PO的信息可以为PF中第10*k*s+5个时隙；当PO标识为3时，PO的信息可以为PF中第10*k*s+6个时隙。
步骤S706：UE确定预先配置的每个子帧所包含时隙的第三数量。
步骤S707：UE将第一数量除以第三数量，并将得到的商向上取整，得到第二数量。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中UE获取第二数量的实施方式和基站获取第二数量的实施方式相同，则步骤S708具体可以参见步骤S703的描述，本申请实施例不再赘述。
步骤S708：UE根据第二数量，得到PF的信息。
UE接收寻呼消息之前，需要获取PO的信息，进而在PO的信息所指示的PO接收寻呼消息。需要说明的是，本申请实施例中UE获取PF的信息的实施方式和基站获取PF的信息的实施方式相同，则步骤S709具体可以参见步骤S202的描述，本申请实施例不再赘述。
步骤S709：UE根据第一数量，得到在PF的信息所指示PF内PO的信息。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中UE获取PO的信息的实施方式和基站获取PO的信息的实施方式相同，则步骤S710具体可以参见步骤S705的描述，本申请实施例不再赘述。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例不限定步骤S706-S709在图7中的执行顺序，UE从基站接收到PO所包含时隙的第一数量之后，可以执行步骤S706-S709，例如，步骤S706-S709可以在步骤S702-S705中任一步骤之前或者之后执行，还可以在步骤S710之前或者之后执行。
步骤S710：基站在PO的信息所指示PO向UE发送寻呼消息。
基站得到PO的信息之后，可以在PO的信息所指示的PO向UE发送寻呼消息。例如，PF为DRX周期内的第一个帧和第二个帧，PO的信息为PF中第十个时隙和第二十个时隙，则基站可以在DRX周期内第十个时隙和第二十个时隙向UE发送寻呼消息。
通过本申请实施例，基站可以在UE的至少一个beam方向上向UE发送寻呼消息，以确保UE可准确接收到该寻呼消息，提高寻呼消息的传输可靠性。
在一个设计方案中，UE得到PO的信息之后，可以在PO的信息所指示的PO接收寻呼消息。例如，PF为DRX周期内的第一个帧和第二个帧，PO的信息为PF中第十个时隙 和第二十个时隙，则UE可以在DRX周期内第十个时隙和第二十个时隙接收寻呼消息。
在图7所描述的方法中，基站通过高层信令或者广播消息向UE发送PO所包含时隙的第一数量，基站根据第一数量得到第二数量，根据第一数量和第二数量，得到PO的信息，并在PO的信息所指示PO向UE发送寻呼消息，则UE可根据第一数量得到第二数量，并根据第一数量和第二数量，得到PO的信息，并在PO的信息所指示PO接收寻呼消息，可便于第二设备准确识别PO的位置。
