技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种波束管理方法和相关设备。
背景技术
无线网络技术和应用的发展已经来到第五代移动通信技术(the 5th generation wireless systems，5G)时代，在2018年6月已经完成了第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project，3GPP)R15版本的冻结。3GPP定义了5G应用场景三大方向—增强移动带宽(enhance mobile broadband，eMBB)、大规模物联网(mass machine-type communication，eMTC)和超高可靠超低时延通信(ultra-reliable low latency communication，uRLLC)。其中eMBB将能够为每个小区提供10G比特每秒级的上下行吞吐量，为了获得这样的带宽，eMBB将使用更加广泛的频谱资源，从长期演进技术(long term evolution，LTE)使用的低频段扩展至高频段(例如可以达到100GHz)。
高频段电磁波具有高路损的特性，为了克服高频段导致的较大的传播损耗，实现更好的小区覆盖，一种基于波束赋形技术的信号传输机制被采用，以通过较大的天线增益来补偿信号传播过程中的传输损耗。
现有技术中，当信号基于波束赋形技术进行传输时，一旦用户发生移动或者用户设备(user equipment，UE)的姿态发生了改变(例如旋转)，可能会出现传输信号对应的赋形波束的方向不再匹配旋转后的UE姿态，从而存在UE不能完成随机接入或者随机接入后性能较差，接收信号频繁中断的问题。这时需要在不同的赋形波束间进行切换，需要再次对发射赋形波束和接收赋形波束分别进行波束扫描和波束训练，完成满足接入条件收发波束对的选取。整个过程较为繁琐，而且在UE姿态快速变化的场景中，UE不能及时的做出响应，切换到合适的赋形波束进行信号的传输。

具体实施方式
下面将结合附图，对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于长期演进(Long Term Evolution，LTE)架构，还可以应用于通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System，UMTS)陆地无线接入网(UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network，UTRAN)架构，或者全球移动通信系统(Global System for Mobile Communication，GSM)，增强型数据速率GSM演进(Enhanced Data Rate for GSM Evolution，EDGE)系统的无线接入网(GSM EDGE Radio Access Network，GERAN)架构。在UTRAN架构或GERAN架构中，移动性管理实体(Mobility Management Entity，MME)的功能由服务通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service，GPRS)支持节点(Serving GPRS Support，SGSN)完成，SGW\PGW的功能由网关GPRS支持节点(Gateway GPRS Support Node，GGSN)完成。本发明实施例的技术方案还可以应用于其他通信系统，例如公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network，PLMN)系统，甚至未来的5G通信系统或5G之后的通信系统等，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
本申请实施例涉及终端设备。终端设备可以为包含无线收发功能、且可以与网络设备配合为用户提供通讯服务的设备。具体地，终端设备可以指用户设备(User Equipment，UE)、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。例如，终端设备可以是蜂窝电话、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、个人数字处理(Personal Digital Assistant，PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备，未来5G网络或5G之后的网络中的终端设备等，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
本申请实施例还涉及网络设备。网络设备可以是用于与终端设备进行通信的设备，例如，可以是GSM系统或CDMA中的基站(Base Transceiver Station，BTS)，也可以是WCDMA系统中的基站(NodeB，NB)，还可以是LTE系统中的演进型基站(Evolutional Node B，eNB或eNodeB)，或者该网络设备可以为中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及未来5G网络或5G之后的网络中的网络侧设备或未来演进的PLMN网络中的网络设备等。
本申请实施例中涉及的网络设备还可以称为无线接入网(Radio Access Network，RAN)设备。RAN设备在不同通信系统中对应不同的设备，例如，在2G系统中对应基站与基站控制器，在3G系统中对应基站与无线网络控制器(Radio Network Controller，RNC)，在4G系统中对应演进型基站(Evolutional Node B，eNB)，在5G系统中对应5G系统，如新无线接入系统(New Radio Access Technology，NR)中的接入网设备(例如gNB，CU，DU)。
为了便于理解本申请，首先在此介绍本申请实施例涉及的相关技术知识。
在无线通信中，可以设法使电磁波按特定方向传播，从而在不同空间的用户可以同时使用全部频谱资源不间断的进行通讯，即空分复用(space-division multiple access， SDMA)。当无线信号在空间中全方向辐射时，只有一小部分信号能量被接收机接收到成为有用信号，大部分信号并没有被相应的接收机接收到，而是辐射到了其它的接收机成为了干扰信号。当使用SDMA时，信号能量集中在特定的方向，一方面减少了对其它接收机的干扰，一方面也减少了信号能量的浪费。在5G通讯中，SDMA是大规模多输入多输出(massive multiple-input multiple-output，MIMO)技术应用的一个重要例子，即在发射端和接收端分别使用大规模发射天线和接收天线阵列，使信号通过发射端与接收端的大规模天线阵列传送和接收，从而改善通信质量。将无线信号(电磁波)只按特定方向传播的技术叫做波束成型。
电磁波的辐射方向由天线的特性决定，天线的方向特性可以由辐射方向图(即天线发射的信号在空间不同方向的幅度)来描述。普通的天线的辐射方向图方向性很弱(即每个方向的辐射强度差不多)，而最基本的形成波束的方法是使用辐射方向性很强的天线(即瞄准一个方向辐射，类似手电筒)，此外，波束成型需要可以随着接收端和发射端之间的相对位置而改变波束的方向，传统使用单一天线形成波束的方法需要机械转动天线才能改变波束的方向，因此，实用的波束成型方案使用的是智能天线阵列。
参见图1，是一种产生波束成型的示意图。如图1所示，当单个半波振子垂直放置，其对应的垂直面方向图增益是2.15分贝(dB)，当两个半波振子排成一个垂直放置的直线阵，其对应的垂直方向图增益为5.15dB，当四个半波振子排成一个垂直放置的直线阵，其对应的垂直面方向图增益是8.15dB，可以看出，当半波振子数量越多，排成一个垂直放置的直线阵时，其对应的垂直方向图增益越大。在波束成型中，可以通过控制发射和接收的波之间的相对相位和幅度，可以做到电磁波辐射和接收增益都集中在一个方向上。
采用波束成型技术后，基站必须使用多个不同指向的波束才能完全覆盖小区。参见图2A，是一种基站发射的波束的示意图。如图2A所示，基站使用了8个波束覆盖其服务的小区，在下行过程中(即基站到终端设备的无线传输)，基站依次使用不同指向的波束发射无线信号，该过程被称作波束扫描(beam measurement)，同时，终端设备测量不同波束发射出的无线信号，并向基站报告相关信息，基站根据终端设备报告的相关信息确定对准该终端设备的最佳发射波束。若终端设备也有天线阵列，则在波束对准的过程中，不仅要考虑发射波束，还要考虑接收波束，因此，5G标准允许终端设备针对发射波束变换不同的接收波束，并从中选择最佳接收波束，获得一对最佳的波束对(一个发射波束和一个接收波束)。参见图2B，是一种工作波束对示意图。如图2B所示，基站的发射波束4和终端设备1的接收波束3的对齐度最好，基站的发射波束6和终端设备2的接收波束2的对齐度最好，所以终端设备1和终端设备2所对应的最佳波束对分别为(波束4，波束3)和(波束6，波束2)。
需要说明的是，在发起随机接入之前，需要扫描基站侧所有或者部分波束以及终端设备侧所有或者部分波束，然后从所测量波束对中找到达到接入门限或者性能最优的波束对用于随机接入，如果在波束扫描过程中或者随机接入过程中，终端设备的姿态位置发生了改变(例如终端设备发生了旋转)，导致找到的波束对不再匹配，则可能引起随机接入时间过长或者随机接入失败。
本申请提供一种波束管理方法，能够有效解决在终端设备姿态发生变化时，扫描效率低和随机接入成功率低的问题，能够降低基于参考信号的测量频度，降低功耗，提升链路的鲁棒性。
参见图3，图3是本申请实施例的系统架构示意图。如图3所示，该网络架构包括终端设备110和网络设备120，该网络设备120具体可以为基站，终端设备110具体可以为手机，笔记本，平板电脑，客户端设备(customer premise equipment，CPE)等，网络设备120为终端设备110提供无线接入服务，每个网络设备120都对应一个服务覆盖区域，进入该区域的终端设备110可以通过无线信号与网络设备120进行通信。终端设备110在接收网络设备120发送的信息的过程中，可以基于自身的姿态变化，调整接收波束，保证能够正确不中断的接收到网络设备120发送的信息。基于本申请实施例提供的系统架构，网络设备120可以向终端设备110进行下行传输，例如网络设备120向终端设备110发送同步信号序列，终端设备110也可以向网络设备120进行上行传输，这里的传输具体可以指数据传输和物理层控制信令传输。
下面结合附图详细介绍本申请实施例的方法及相关装置。需要说明的是，本申请实施例的展示顺序仅代表实施例的先后顺序，并不代表实施例所提供的技术方案的优劣。
请参见图4，图4为本申请实施例提供的一种波束管理方法的流程示意图。图4中所描述的终端设备和网络设备可以分别对应图3中所示的终端设备110和网络设备120。如图4所示，该方法包括但不限于以下步骤：

具体地，终端设备可以是在波束扫描的过程中，接收网络设备发送的信息，也可以是在随机接入过程中，接收网络设备发送的信息，也可以是在与网络设备建立了无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)连接之后，接收网络设备发送的信息。网络设备发送的信息是下行信息，该下行信息可以是网络设备周期性发送的信息，也可以是网络设备半静态发送的信息，或者动态非周期发送的信息，这里不做限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中，所述网络设备发送的信息包括同步参考信息，所述同步参考信息包括信道状态信息参考信号和/或同步序列块参考信号。
具体地，在终端设备发起随机接入之前，需要扫描网络设备侧的所有或部分波束以及终端设备侧的所有或部分波束，然后从所测量的波束对中找到达到接入门限或者性能最优的波束对用于随机接入。所以，终端设备为了选取最佳波束对，需要接收网络设备发送的同步参考信息。
进一步地，网络设备发送的同步参考信息可以是信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal，CSI-RS)，或者是同步序列块(synchronization sequence block，SSB)参考信号，或者是其它的参考信号。
需要说明的是，网络设备通过不同的发射波束发送该同步参考信息，终端设备接 收到的是多个发射波束发送的同步参考信息。举例来说，若网络设备存在8个不同的发射波束以覆盖整个小区，终端设备存在10个接收波束，则对于终端设备的每一个接收波束，需要接收来自网络设备的8个发射波束发送的同步参考信息，并基于接收到的8个发射波束发送的同步参考信息进行信道质量测量，得到针对于每一个发射波束的信道质量测量结果，终端设备可以将该信道质量测量结果发送给网络设备。对于波束扫描过程，需要测量80次才能完成整个网络设备侧和终端设备侧所有波束的扫描，并基于信道质量测量结果，可以找到一对信道质量测量结果最好的波束对。
在一种可能的实现方式中，所述第一接收波束接收到的所述信道状态信息参考信号或同步序列块参考信号的接收功率大于第一阈值。
具体地，在波束扫描过程中，终端设备对于接收到的信道状态信息参考信号或同步序列块参考信号的接收功率进行测量，在完成所有的波束测量后，确定该信道状态信息参考信号或同步序列块参考信号的接收功率最大值对应的接收波束为第一接收波束，该第一阈值可以是终端设备设置的，也可以是网络设备设置的，这里不做限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中，在所述终端设备通过第一接收波束接收网络设备发送的信息的过程中，所述多个接收波束存在被遮挡的接收波束的情况下，所述第一接收波束不包括所述被遮挡的接收波束。
具体地，在波束扫描过程中，终端设备会通过电磁波吸收比值(specific absorption rate，SAR)传感器对天线位置遮挡情况进行检测，若检测到某些接收波束被遮挡，由于被遮挡的接收波束性能极差，无法用于随机接入以及后续的信息传输，则终端设备会忽略这些被遮挡的接收波束，不再利用这些被遮挡的接收波束接收网络设备发送的同步参考信息。
可以理解，终端设备通过利用SAR传感器对天线位置遮挡情况进行检测，忽略被遮挡的接收波束，可以有效减小扫描时间，提高整个扫描过程的扫描效率。
S402：终端设备确定第一UE姿态。
具体地，在波束扫描的过程中，网络设备在一个扫描周期内(例如一个SSB周期)使用不同的波束向终端设备发送同步参考信息(例如SSB参考信号)，终端设备在一个周期内使用同一个接收波束接收该同步参考信息并进行参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power，RSRP)测量，在下一个扫描周期，终端设备使用另一个接收波束接收该同步参考信息并进行RSRP测量。与此同时，终端设备的传感器会进行检测获得数据信息，该传感器可以包括加速度计，陀螺仪，磁力计等，在传感器获得数据信息后，终端设备的微控制单元(microcontroller unit，MCU)上的传感器上下文模块(sensor context)对数据信息进行融合算法处理，计算得到终端设备的姿态。
需要说明的是，终端设备的传感器是不间断的获取数据信息的，可以计算得到多个时刻下的终端设备的姿态，例如，可以得到每一个扫描周期的终端设备的姿态，终端设备根据测量得到的RSRP值，确定最大的RSRP值所对应的终端设备的姿态为第一UE姿态。
在一种可能的实现方式中，所述确定所述终端设备的第一UE姿态，包括：在所述终端设备通过第一接收波束接收网络设备发送的信息的过程中，获取n次UE姿态 的参数，对所述n次UE姿态的参数求平均值，确定所述平均值对应的UE姿态为第一UE姿态，n为大于等于1的正整数。
具体地，在终端设备使用同一个接收波束接收网络设备发送的信息的过程中，终端设备的传感器多次获取数据信息，例如获取n次UE姿态的参数，对该n次UE姿态的参数求平均值，将该平均值对应的姿态确定为第一UE姿态，其中，n为大于等于1的正整数。
进一步地，在波束扫描的过程中，按照通信协议的默认配置，每20毫秒完成网络设备侧所有波束和终端设备侧一个波束的测量，即一个扫描周期为20毫秒。在一个扫描周期内，终端设备的MCU上的sensor context根据传感器多次获取的UE姿态参数进行计算得到多个终端设备的姿态，对该多个终端设备的姿态的参数求平均值，确定该平均值对应的UE姿态为第一UE姿态。参见图5，图5是一种波束扫描过程确定UE姿态的示意图。如图5所示，在第一个扫描周期(即20毫秒)中，终端设备的MCU上的sensor context多次计算获得4次终端设备的姿态，即每隔5毫秒获得一次终端设备的姿态，终端设备对获得的4次终端设备的姿态的参数求平均值，确定该平均值对应的姿态为终端设备利用波束1扫描时所对应的姿态，在第二个扫描周期或第三个扫描周期中，终端设备的MCU上的sensor context依旧每隔5毫秒计算获得一次终端设备的姿态，终端设备对获得的4次姿态的参数求平均值，确定该平均值对应的姿态为终端设备利用波束2或波束3进行扫描时所对应的姿态。
可以理解，终端设备通过在一个扫描周期中，多次获取终端设备的姿态，并对获取到的多个终端设备的姿态的参数求平均值，将该平均值对应的姿态作为当前波束扫描时的姿态，可以使最终确定的终端设备的姿态更加准确。
S403：终端设备从第一UE姿态变化到第二UE姿态，至少根据多个接收波束之间的方位关系以及方位变化情况，确定第二接收波束。
具体地，对于终端设备来说，为了保证能够接收到网络设备发送的信息，终端设备的多个接收波束需要覆盖整个球面空间位置，而且多个接收波束之间的相对位置不会随着终端设备的姿态或位置的变化而发送改变。
参见图6，是一种终端设备的接收波束示意图。如图6所示，终端设备具有8个接收波束，这8个接收波束覆盖整个球面空间位置，能够保证终端设备接收到来自各个方向的信息。此外，接收波束之间的位置是固定的，例如接收波束1和接收波束2之间的位置是固定的，接收波束7和接收波束8之间的位置也是固定的。
进一步地，若终端设备的姿态发生变化，终端设备通过传感器获取数据信息，计算出终端设备的方位变化情况(例如可以是角度变化，即终端设备变化后的姿态相对于变化前的姿态顺时针或逆时针旋转了多少度)，根据该方位变化情况以及多个接收波束之间的相对位置关系，可以确定在终端设备的姿态发生改变后，哪一个接收波束能够满足接收条件(即哪一个接收波束与网络设备的发射波束对齐度更好)，终端设备确定该接收波束为第二接收波束，并将接收波束调整至第二接收波束，利用该第二接收波束接收网络设备发送的信息。
参见图7，是一种终端设备姿态变化下接收波束调整示意图。如图7所示，在第一时刻，终端设备处于第一UE姿态时，该终端设备的接收波束2与网络设备侧的发 射波束对齐度最好，终端设备则利用接收波束2接收网络设备发送的信息，当在第二时刻，终端设备发生了姿态变化，从第一UE姿态变化到了第二UE姿态，此时，该终端设备的接收波束4与网络设备侧的发射波束对齐度最好，终端设备则利用接收波束4接收网络设备发送的信息。
需要说明的是，在波束扫描的过程中，需要在尽量短的时间内完成尽量多的球面空间位置的扫描，从而找到满足条件(即对齐度最好)的波束对。每扫描完终端设备的一个接收波束后，需要通过传感器获取数据信息，并计算识别终端设备的姿态变化，以确定在下一个扫描周期使用终端设备的哪一个接收波束。参见图8，图8是一种扫描过程中接收波束选择示意图。如图8所示，在第一时刻，终端设备在该姿态下使用接收波束1接收网络设备发送的同步参考信息，完成扫描过程，在完成接收波束1的扫描后，终端设备检测到发生了姿态变化，旋转到了新的姿态，由于在该新的姿态下，接收波束2和第一时刻的接收波束1所对应的覆盖扫描的物理空间相同，若终端设备在第二时刻使用接收波束2接收网络设备发送的同步参考信息完成扫描过程，则两次扫描结果是一样的，所以，终端设备基于识别出的姿态变化，在第二时刻使用其它的接收波束(除接收波束2以外的接收波束)完成扫描过程，例如，终端设备可以在第二时刻继续使用接收波束1接收网络设备发送的同步参考信息，因为在终端设备的姿态发生变化后，第二时刻接收波束1所对应的覆盖扫描的物理空间与第一时刻接收波束1所对应的覆盖扫描的物理空间不同。
可以理解，终端设备可以根据姿态的变化选择接收波束完成扫描过程，可以保证在更短的时间内达到对物理空间更好的覆盖，避免重复扫描，节约了扫描时间，提高了扫描效率。
在一种可能的实现方式中，在所述终端设备从所述第一UE姿态变化为第二UE姿态的情况下，所述多个接收波束存在被遮挡的接收波束的情况，所述第二接收波束不包括所述被遮挡的接收波束。
具体地，终端设备在发生姿态变化时，会通过SAR传感器对天线位置遮挡情况进行检测，若检测到某些接收波束被遮挡，由于被遮挡的接收波束性能极差，无法用于随机接入以及后续的信息传输，则终端设备会忽略这些被遮挡的接收波束，在姿态变化后，选择未被遮挡的接收波束接收网络设备发送的信息。
可以理解，终端设备通过利用SAR传感器对天线位置遮挡情况进行检测，忽略被遮挡的接收波束，可以保证终端设备在发送姿态变化后，仍能够准确接收到网络设备发送的信息，保证接入性能良好。
在一种可能的实现方式中，在随机接入过程中，且所述第二UE姿态为所述终端设备发送随机接入前导时所对应的姿态的情况下，所述终端设备通过所述第二接收波束接收网络设备发送的信息之前还包括：所述终端设备通过所述第二接收波束发送所述随机接入前导。
具体地，波束扫描的总时间与终端设备侧支持的接收波束成正比，若20毫秒完成网络设备侧所有发射波束和终端设备侧一个接收波束的测量，则要测量所有的波束，需要的总时间为：N*20毫秒，N为终端设备侧支持的接收波束的数量。假若在第一个扫描周期测量得到的波束对满足随机接入条件(例如接收到的SSB参考信号的接收功 率大于第一阈值)，则从测量到终端设备发起随机接入的最短时延大约需要120毫秒，若在这个过程中(即在120毫秒中)，终端设备的姿态发生了变化，终端设备仍使用测量得到的波束发起随机接入，可能会导致随机接入失败或者随机接入后性能较差。
进一步地，终端设备经过波束扫描后，已经确定满足条件的波束对，若在随机接入时刻需要发起随机接入，此时，终端设备通过传感器获取到数据信息，计算出该终端设备的姿态变化情况，确定当前时刻的姿态(即第二UE姿态)，该姿态与终端设备在扫描时刻的姿态(即第一UE姿态)不相同，终端设备基于姿态的变化和各个接收波束之间的位置关系，对接收波束进行调整，即从扫描时刻确定的第一接收波束调整为姿态变化后的第二接收波束。
值得说明的是，在随机接入时刻，终端设备会使用与同步参考信息(例如SSB参考信号)关联的物理随机接入信道(physical random access channel，PRACH)资源发起随机过程，终端设备会通过调整后得到的第二接收波束向网络设备发送随机接入前导(preamble)，并启动定时器等待网络设备侧的随机接入响应消息(random access response，RAR)，该定时器可以是由RRC信令进行配置的。
参见图9A，图9A是一种随机接入过程中接收波束选择示意图。如图9A所示，在波束扫描后，终端设备处于第一UE姿态，此时接收波束1与网络设备的发射波束对齐度最好，在终端设备发送preamble时刻，终端设备的姿态发生了变化，此时，终端设备处于第二UE姿态，接收波束1与网络设备的发射波束发生了偏离，而接收波束2与网络设备的发射波束对齐度更好，终端设备选择接收波束2向网络设备发送随机接入前导。
可以理解，在随机接入的过程中，基于终端设备姿态的变化，调整接收波束，有利于提高随机接入成功率。
在一种可能的实现方式中，在随机接入过程中，且所述第二UE姿态为所述终端设备接收所述网络设备发送的随机接入响应时所对应的姿态的情况下，所述终端设备通过所述第二接收波束接收网络设备发送的信息包括：所述终端设备通过所述第二接收波束接收所述网络设备发送的所述随机接入响应。
具体地，终端设备向网络设备发送preamble后，网络设备会根据分配给终端设备发起随机接入的资源情况，选择合适的波束接收终端设备发送的preamble，并向终端设备发送RAR消息。
特别地，终端设备在等待网络设备发送RAR消息的过程中，该终端设备的姿态发生了变化，导致当前时刻的姿态(即第二UE姿态)与发送preamble时刻的姿态不同，终端设备基于姿态的变化和各个接收波束之间的位置关系，对接收波束进行调整，确定当前时刻的姿态下，与网络设备的发射波束对齐度最好的接收波束(即第二接收波束)，并通过该接收波束接收网络设备发送的RAR消息。
参见图9B，图9B是另一种随机接入过程中接收波束选择示意图。如图9B所示，在终端设备发送preamble时，接收波束2与网络设备的发射波束对齐度最好，在终端设备发送preamble后，等待网络设备发送RAR消息的过程中，终端设备的姿态发生了变化，此时，接收波束2与网络设备的发射波束发生了偏离，而接收波束3与网络设备的发射波束对齐度更好，终端设备选择接收波束3接收网络设备发送的RAR消息。
可以理解，在随机接入过程中，基于终端设备姿态的变化，调整接收波束，有利于提高随机接入成功率。
在一种可能的实现方式中，在基于竞争的随机接入过程中，且所述第二UE姿态为所述终端设备接收所述网络设备发送的竞争解决响应消息时所对应的姿态的情况下，所述终端设备通过所述第二接收波束接收网络设备发送的信息包括：所述终端设备通过所述第二接收波束接收所述网络设备发送的所述竞争解决响应消息。
具体地，对于非竞争的随机接入过程，终端设备在接收到网络设备发送的RAR消息后，就完成了整个随机接入过程。而对于竞争的随机接入过程，终端设备在接收到网络设备发送的RAR消息后，需要再向网络设备发送随机接入请求消息(即Msg3)，并启动竞争解决定时器，等待网络设备的竞争解决响应消息，该定时器可以是由RRC信令进行配置的。
特别地，终端设备在等待网络设备发送竞争解决响应消息的过程中，该终端设备的姿态发生了变化，导致当前时刻的姿态(即第二UE姿态)与发送随机接入请求消息时刻的姿态不同，终端设备基于姿态的变化和各个接收波束之间的位置关系，对接收波束进行调整，确定当前时刻的姿态下，与网络设备的发射波束对齐度最好的接收波束(即第二接收波束)，并通过该接收波束接收网络设备发送的竞争解决响应消息。
参见图9C，图9C是另一种随机接入过程中接收波束选择示意图。如图9C所示，在终端设备发送随机接入请求消息时，接收波束3与网络设备的发射波束对齐度最好，在终端设备发送随机接入请求消息后，等待网络设备发送竞争解决响应消息的过程中，终端设备的姿态发生了变化，此时，接收波束3与网络设备的发射波束发生了偏离，而接收波束4与网络设备的发射波束对齐度更好，终端设备选择接收波束4接收网络设备发送的竞争解决响应消息，在接收到网络设备发送的竞争解决响应消息后，完成整个随机接入过程。
可以看出，在基于竞争的随机接入过程中，基于终端设备姿态的变化，调整接收波束，有利于提高随机接入成功率。
在一种可能的实现方式中，在所述终端设备处于连接态非连续性接收状态或空闲态非连续性接收状态时，所述第一UE姿态包括所述终端设备在进入睡眠前所对应的姿态，所述第二UE姿态包括所述终端设备苏醒时所对应的姿态。
具体地，非连续性接收(discontinuous reception，DRX)特性可以使终端设备不需要一直处于工作监听状态，使终端设备能够降低功耗。当终端设备处于连接态非连续性接收(connected discontinuous reception，CDRX)状态时，终端设备不需要一直监听物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel，PDCCH)，在每个DRX周期内会定时醒来一段时间接收数据。DRX周期包括长周期和短周期两种，长周期是短周期的整数倍。
进一步地，终端设备可以根据需要调整使用长周期或短周期，例如，在某个长周期内，终端设备醒来发现有数据到达，那么在后续一段时间内，终端设备将长周期调整为短周期，经过一段时间后，连续几个(例如3个)短周期内，都没有数据到达，则终端设备将短周期调整为长周期以降低功耗。
参见图10，图10是一种连接态非连续性接收示意图。如图10所示，长周期是短 周期的两倍，在每一个周期(长周期或短周期)中，存在一段工作时间，在该时间段内，终端设备从睡眠状态清醒过来并监控接收数据。
当终端设备处于空闲态非连续接收(idle discontinuous reception，IDRX)状态时，此时，终端设备没有专有的无线资源，只需要在一个网络指定的固定的周期(即寻呼周期长度)上醒来监听寻呼信道和广播信道，如果终端设备从寻呼信道或广播信道接收到寻呼消息或系统消息，需要进一步处理，则终端设备需要从空闲态转到连接态，建立RRC连接，接收数据。
需要说明的是，终端设备在睡眠过程中，该终端设备的姿态发生了变化，导致醒来时刻的姿态(即第二UE姿态)与进入睡眠前所记录的姿态(即第一UE姿态)不同，终端设备基于姿态的变化和各个接收波束之间的位置关系，对接收波束进行调整，确定醒来时刻的姿态下，与网络设备的发射波束对齐度最好的接收波束(即第二接收波束)，并通过该接收波束接收网络设备发送的数据。
参见图11，图11是一种终端设备处于非连续性接收状态时接收波束调整示意图。如图11所示，终端设备在进入睡眠前，通过传感器获取数据信息并计算得到终端设备的姿态，在终端设备从睡眠状态醒来前，终端设备通过传感器再次获取数据信息并计算得到终端设备此时的姿态，终端设备基于上述两个时刻的姿态的变化，调整接收波束，选择终端设备在最新的姿态下，与网络设备的发射波束对齐度最好的接收波束，保证终端设备在醒来时可以使用与网络设备对齐度最好的接收波束接收数据。
可以理解，在终端设备处于CDRX或IDRX时，基于终端设备进入睡眠前和醒来时刻姿态的变化，调整接收波束，可以保证终端设备在醒来时刻能够使用合适的接收波束接收网络设备发送的数据，保证终端设备和网络设备之间传输不中断。
在一种可能的实现方式中，在终端设备通过第一接收波束接收网络设备发送的信息的过程中，确定所述终端设备的第一UE姿态之后还包括：在终端设备通过第一接收波束接收网络设备发送的信息的过程中，若所述终端设备在第三UE姿态下接收到的同步参考信息的接收功率大于在第四UE姿态下接收到的所述同步参考信息的接收功率，则将所述第一UE姿态对应的参数信息校正为所述第三UE姿态对应的参数信息。
具体地，每一个接收波束都对应覆盖一定的物理空间，在终端设备发生较细微的姿态变化时(例如旋转的角度较小)，不会引起接收波束的切换，若终端设备一直保持这种细微的变化，当其姿态变化超过某个临界值时，就会引起接收波束的切换。
进一步地，在终端设备姿态变化而不引起接收波束切换的过程中，所有姿态都对应同一个接收波束，但是每一个姿态下所接收到的同步参考信息的接收功率都不一样，其中，接收功率最大值所对应的终端设备的姿态与网络设备对齐度最好，将该姿态作为该接收波束的基准姿态，若后续终端设备发生姿态变化，则需要与上述接收功率最大值所对应的姿态进行比较得到姿态变化情况并判断是否会引起接收波束的切换。
举例来说，在终端设备处于连接态并且是非DRX时，终端设备的姿态未发生变化时，其对应的接收波束为接收波束0，当终端设备的姿态发生变化，其变化为q1时，还不足以引起接收波束的切换，其对应的接收波束仍为接收波束0，终端设备的姿态继续变化，其变化为q2时，此时终端设备的姿态相对于最开始(未发生变化)时的姿 态所产生的角度变化需要引起接收波束的切换，终端设备将接收波束切换至接收波束2，并且记录接收波束2对应的姿态为此时的姿态(即经过q2变化的终端设备的姿态)，此时，终端设备通过接收波束2接收网络设备发送的同步参考信息，测量得到该同步参考信息的接收功率。终端设备的姿态继续变化，其变化为q3时，其对应的接收波束仍为接收波束2，此时，终端设备继续通过接收波束2接收网络设备发送的同步参考信息，测量得到该同步参考信息的接收功率，若在经过q3变化的姿态下，接收波束2接收到的同步参考信息的接收功率比在经过q2变化的姿态下的同步参考信息的接收功率大，终端设备将会对接收波束2对应的姿态的参数信息进行调整，并且重新记录接收波束2对应的姿态的参数信息为当前时刻的姿态(即经过q3变化的终端设备的姿态的参数信息)。
可以理解，在通过传感器获取数据信息并计算得到各个时刻终端设备的姿态，基于终端设备的姿态变化调整终端设备的接收波束的过程中，可以同时接收网络设备发送的同步参考信息，并通过比较同步参考信息接收功率的大小，校正终端设备的姿态对应的参数信息，可以消除持续依赖于传感器检测导致的累积误差，可以使接收波束的切换更加准确，此外，还可以降低基于同步参考信息的测量频度，降低功耗。
在一种可能的实现方式中，在所述多个接收波束是由单极化天线形成的情况下，所述方法还包括：若所述第一UE姿态与所述第二UE姿态的旋转角度小于第二阈值，则所述第二接收波束的极化方向与所述第一接收波束的极化方向相同；若所述第一UE姿态与所述第二UE姿态的旋转角度大于第一阈值，则所述第二接收波束的极化方向与所述第一接收波束的极化方向不同。
具体地，在高频场景下，极化隔离度比较高。在终端设备的接收波束是由单极化天线(水平极化或者垂直极化)形成的情况下，若终端设备需要正确的接收网络设备发送的信息，则不仅需要终端设备的接收波束与网络设备的发射波束的波束方向对齐度较好，而且产生接收波束和发射波束的极化方向对齐度也较好。
参见图12，是一种双极化天线产生波束示意图。如图12所示，存在水平极化和垂直极化，水平极化平面在XY平面，垂直极化平面在XZ平面，但是水平极化和垂直极化所形成的波束的波束方向是一致的，与X轴正半轴指向相同，此外，终端设备和网络设备之间的收发信息和数据的性能与发射波束和接收波束之间的极化方向对齐度相关。
特别地，当网络设备的发射波束是双极化的天线形成的，终端设备的接收波束是水平极化或者垂直极化的天线形成的；或者是网络设备的发射波束是水平极化的天线形成的，终端设备的接收波束也是水平极化的天线形成的；或者是网络设备的发射波束是垂直极化的天线形成的，终端设备的接收波束也是垂直极化的天线形成的。在上述情况下，若终端设备的姿态发生了变化，终端设备的传感器获取数据信息，计算出终端设备的姿态变化和旋转角度变化，若旋转角度小于第二阈值，该第二阈值可以是网络设备或终端设备进行预先设定的，例如可以是45度，则表示姿态变化后的接收波束(即第二接收波束)与姿态变化前的接收波束(即第一接收波束)的极化方向相同，终端设备基于姿态的变化和各个接收波束之间的位置关系，将接收波束调整为第二接收波束，且该第二接收波束与第一接收波束的波束方向相同，极化方向也相同。例如， 第一接收波束是水平极化形成的，那么第二接收波束也是水平极化形成的，第一接收波束是垂直极化形成的，那么第二接收波束也是垂直极化形成的。
若旋转角度大于45度，则表示姿态变化后的接收波束(即第二接收波束)与姿态变化前的接收波束(即第一接收波束)的极化方向不同，终端设备基于姿态的变化和各个接收波束之间的位置关系，将接收波束调整为第二接收波束，且该第二接收波束与第一接收波束的波束方向相同，极化方向不同。例如，第一接收波束是水平极化形成的，那么第二接收波束则是垂直极化形成的，第一接收波束是垂直极化形成的，那么第二接收波束则是水平极化形成的。
可以理解，通过传感器获取终端设备的姿态变化和旋转角度变化，可以保证在终端设备在发生姿态变化后，能够选择正确的极化方向的接收波束，保证终端设备与网络设备之间的传输性能。
S404：终端设备通过第二接收波束接收网络设备发送的信息。
具体地，若是在波束扫描的过程中，终端设备发生姿态变化，则终端设备可以通过第二接收波束接收网络设备发送的同步参考信息；或者是在随机接入的过程中，终端设备的姿态发生变化，则终端设备可以通过第二接收波束接收网络设备发送的RAR响应消息或竞争解决响应消息；或者是在终端设备与网络设备建立了RRC连接过程中，终端设备的姿态发生变化，则终端设备可以通过第二接收波束接收网络设备发送的业务信息或数据。
