Description
本申请要求于2019年3月20日提交中国专利局、申请号为201910212397.3、申请名称为“链路失败恢复的方法和装置”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。
本申请涉及通信领域,更具体地,涉及一种链路失败恢复的方法和装置。
由于在通信过程中存在遮挡,高频信道下的绕射能力差,导致当前服务的波束被阻挡,信号无法继续传输。为了防止在出现波束被阻挡的情况下,通信被突然中断,需要引入相应的机制对波束质量进行检测,并在发生阻挡的情况下快速恢复链路。
终端在检测到链路故障的情况下,向网络设备发送两次请求信息,例如,第一次请求信息用于告知网络设备链路失败,第二次请求信息用于指示新识别的波束的信息,其中第一次请求信息为周期性发送,第二请求信息为非周期性发送,这样相对于频繁的周期性的发送一次同时用于指示链路失败和新识别的波束信息的请求信息,能够节省资源开销。其中,第一次请求信息可以是波束失败恢复请求(beam failure recovery request,BFRQ)1,BFRQ1,第二次请求信息可以是BFRQ2。
但是,在多载波场景中,每个单元载波(component carrier,CC)对应一个小区(cell)。终端在检测到链路故障的情况下,若按照上述方式进行请求信息的发送,则资源开销比较大。
发明内容
本申请提供一种链路失败恢复的方法和装置,能够节省资源开销。
第一方面,提供了一种链路失败恢复的方法,该方法包括:在第一资源上发送第一请求信息,该第一请求信息用于指示L个小区中的至少一个小区的链路失败,该L为大于1的整数;在第二资源上发送第二请求信息,该第二请求信息用于指示L个小区中的链路失败的M个小区的小区信息,M≥1,且M为整数。
终端在检测到L个小区中的任意一个小区的链路失败,或者L个小区中的任意多个小区的链路失败,都可以在同一个资源上(即第一资源)向网络设备发送第一请求信息,以告知网络设备该L个小区中至少存在一个小区的链路发生失败。这样在多载波场景中,相对于每个小区的链路失败占用一个资源发送一个请求信息,本申请实施例节省了资源开销。该第二请求信息用于指示该L个小区中的链路失败的M个小区的小区标识,这样网络设备根据该第二请求信息可以获知该L个小区中具体发生链路失败的小区的相关信息。其中,在M=1的情况下,该第二请求信息可以用于指示L个小区中的链路失败的任意一 个小区的小区信息,这样相对于每个小区的请求信息占用不同的资源发送第二请求信息,节省了资源开销。在M>1的情况下,该第二请求信息可以用于指示链路失败的多个小区的小区信息,这样相对于M个小区中的每个小区的请求信息分别发送或分时发送,本申请实施例节省了恢复时延。
在一些可能的实现方式中,该M个小区的小区信息包括该M个小区的小区标识和/或用于恢复该M个小区的N个第一参考信号信息,N≥1,且N为整数。
小区标识和第一参考信号信息可以具有映射关系,这样在M个小区的小区信息只包括M个小区的小区标识的情况下,网络设备可以根据该M小区的标识确定对应的第一参考信号,或者在M个小区的小区信息只包括N个第一参考信号的情况下,网络设备可以根据该N个第一参考信号确定对应的小区标识,从而减少第二指示信息中携带的内容,减少资源占用。
在一些可能的实现方式中,该方法还包括:检测该M个小区的响应信息;发送第三请求信息,其中,在未检测到该M个小区中的第i个小区的响应信息的情况下,该第三请求信息指示该第i个小区的小区标识和/或用于恢复该第i个小区的第二参考信号信息,i为正整数,且1≤i≤M,和在检测到该M个小区中的第j个小区的响应信息的情况下,该第三请求信息还指示该第j个小区的确认信息,其中,j为正整数,且1≤j≤M,i不等于j。
在终端检测到第j个小区对应的第二请求信息的响应信息的情况下,终端向网络设备发送包括该第j个小区的确认信息的第三请求信息,这样网络设备可以获知该第j个小区的链路恢复成功,从而可以释放第二资源,避免资源浪费,或者当网络设备或者该M个小区均链路恢复成功,便可及时释放第二资源(可以配置用于传输其他信息,或释放给其它用于传输上行数据或信号)。
在一些可能的实现方式中,发送该第三请求信息,其中,在未检测到该M个小区中的第i个小区的响应信息的情况下,该第三请求信息指示该第i个小区的小区标识和/或用于恢复该第i个小区的第二参考信号信息,i为正整数,且1≤i≤M,或在检测到该M个小区中的第j个小区的响应信息的情况下,该第三请求信息用于指示该第j个小区的确认信息,其中,j为正整数,且1≤j≤M,i=j。
终端设备没有检测到第二请求信息的响应信息,则终端可以重新发送该第i个小区的小区信息,从而提高了链路恢复成功的概率,提高了信号传输的效率。
在一些可能的实现方式中,该M个小区中的第k个小区的小区信息包括q个第一参考信号信息,k为正整数,1<q≤N。
该M个小区中的第k个小区的小区信息可以包括多个第一参考信号,也就是说,终端可以同时发送多个参考信号信息用于共同来恢复链路失败的该第k个小区,从而更进一步提高链路恢复成功的概率。
在一些可能的实现方式中,该检测该M个小区的响应信息包括:根据该q个参考信号信息,检测该第k个小区对应的响应信息。终端设备可以以波束扫描的方式根据该q个参考信号检测该响应信息,或者终端设备可以同时根据该q个参考信号中的一个或多个参考信号检测响应信息(此时该终端设备可以有多个panel)。
在一些可能的实现方式中,该检测该M个小区的的响应信息包括:根据该q个参考信号信息的优先级顺序,检测该第k个小区对应的响应信息。
q个参考信号信息的优先级可以是终端根据恢复该第k个小区的链路的成功率或参考信号的质量确定的,或者可以是根据参考信号信息的ID的顺序确定的,或者根据参考信号信息上报的顺序确定的。终端根据该q个参考信号信息的优先级顺序,可以分别检测该第k个小区对应的响应信息,这样可以提高第二请求信息的响应信息传输成功的概率,也即链路失败恢复成功的概率。
应理解,本实施例中参考信号信息的优先级可以等效为恢复该第k个小区的链路的成功率顺序或参考信号的质量大小顺序,或者可以是参考信号信息的ID的顺序,或者参考信号信息上报的顺序,本申请还可以有其他描述方式,并不对此做限定。
在一些可能的实现方式中,该根据该参考信号信息的优先级顺序,检测该第k个小区对应的响应信息包括:在第p个时间窗口根据该q个参考信号信息中的第p个优先级排序的参考信号信息,检测该第k个小区对应的响应信息,1≤p≤q。
终端根据该q个参考信号信息中每个参考信号信息检测该第k个小区对应的响应信息可以是在对应的时间窗口上检测,这样避免了根据某一个参考信号检测第二请求信息的响应信息的等待时长太长,造成链路恢复时延较长,即本申请实施例提高了链路恢复的效率,减少了链路恢复时间。
在一些可能的实现方式中,该方法还包括:在该第p个时间窗口内根据第p个优先级排序未检测到该第k个小区对应的的响应信息后,发送第五请求信息,该第五请求信息用于指示未在该第p个时间窗口检测到该第k个小区对应的响应信息。
若未检测到该第二请求信息的响应,还可以向网络设备发送第五请求信息,该第五请求信息用于指示未检测到该第p个参考信号对应的第二请求信息的响应信息,网络设备可以根据第五请求信息获知终端是否接收到响应信息,进而获知终端还会接续发送请求信息,这样网络设备可以提前做好链路恢复准备,更进一步节省时延。
在一些可能的实现方式中,该方法还包括:在该第p个时间窗口内根据第p个优先级排序未检测到该第二请求信息的响应信息后,在第p+1个时间窗口根据该q个参考信号信息的第p+1个优先级排序的参考信号信息,检测该第二请求信息的响应信息,该第p+1个时间窗口为晚于该第p个时间窗口的时段。
终端根据该q个参考信号信息的优先级顺序,检测该第二请求信息的响应信息可以是在根据上一个参考信号信息(例如,第p个参考信号信息)检测该第二请求信息的响应信息失败的情况下,再根据下一个参考信号信息(例如,第p+1个参考信号信息)检测该第二请求信息的响应信息,从而更近一步节省信令开销。
在一些可能的实现方式中,该第五请求信息承载在该第二资源。
该第五请求信息可以承载于第二资源,即与第二请求信息占用相同的资源,即第五请求信息可以采用半静态资源,节省资源开销。
在一些可能的实现方式中,该发送第三请求信息包括:在该第二资源上,发送该第三请求信息。
终端可以复用发送第二请求信息的资源发送该第三请求信息,无需等待第一请求信息的响应信息再分配资源发送第二请求信息,从而节省了资源分配的时间,此外,整体上提高了链路恢复速度。
在一些可能的实现方式中,该方法还包括:在检测到该M个小区的响应信息时,释 放该第二资源。
终端在该M个小区全部恢复成功的情况下,可以释放第二资源。例如,终端可以在检测到该M个小区中每个小区对应的第二请求信息的响应信息时,确定该M个小区全部恢复成功。或者终端在检测到该M个小区中一部分小区对应的第二请求信息的响应信息,另一部分小区对应的第三请求信息的响应信息时,确定该M个小区全部恢复成功。或者终端在检测到该M个小区中每个小区的第三请求信息的响应信息时,确定该M个小区全部恢复成功。
在一些可能的实现方式中,在未检测到该M个小区中的至少一个小区的响应信息的情况下,该方法还包括:在第四资源上重新发送第一请求信息;接收该重新发送的第一请求信息的响应信息,该重新发送的第一请求信息的响应信息用于指示第三资源;其中,该发送第三请求信息包括:在该第三资源上,发送该第三请求信息。
该第三资源可以动态配置的,提高了资源利用率。
在一些可能的实现方式中,该第四资源和该第一资源相同。
对于第一请求信息来说,传输该第一请求信息的资源可以是静态的,即初次传输第一请求信息占用的资源,也可以用于重传该第一请求信息,不需要重新分配,节省了时间。
在一些可能的实现方式中,W≤X·L,W为该第一请求信息的传输次数的最大值,X为用于指示该M个小区中的任一个小区的小区信息的请求信息的传输次数的最大值。
M是等于1还是大于1,可以取决于基站配置的第二资源大小,或者发生链路失败的资源小区情况。这样本申请实施例可以避免终端设备频繁发送链路失败恢复请求信息,节省功耗开销。
在一些可能的实现方式中,该方法还包括:接收该第一请求信息的响应信息,该第一请求信息的响应信息用于指示或激活该第二资源。
对于第一请求信息的响应信息用于激活该第二资源,终端设备需要重传链路失败的小区信息时,可以不用再通过第一请求信息的响应信息分配的资源发送重传信息,而是直接在该第二资源上发送重传信息,可以有效降低恢复时延。
对于第一请求信息的响应信息用于指示该第二资源,终端设备需要重传链路失败的小区信息时,可以再通过第一请求信息的响应信息动态分配的资源发送重传信息,可以有效降低资源开销。
在一些可能的实现方式中,该第二资源为高层信令配置的,或该第二资源为与该第一资源或该第一请求信息关联的资源。
该第二资源可以是由网络设备为该终端配置的,并通过高层信令或系统信息发送给终端。该第二资源还可以网络设备和终端设备预先约定的,或者由终端提前设定,本申请对此不进行限定。该种方法在终端设备需要重传链路失败的小区信息时,可以不用再通过第一请求信息的响应信息分配的资源发送重传信息,而是直接在该第二资源上发送重传信息,可以有效减小链路恢复时延,提高链路恢复速度。
在一些可能的实现方式中,在该第一资源上发送该第一请求信息之前,该方法还包括:确定该L个小区中至少存在一个小区链路失败;或确定该L个小区中至少存在一个小区链路失败,以及用于恢复该至少一个小区的链路的参考信号信息。
本申请实施例能够提高了链路恢复的灵活性。
在一些可能的实现方式中,该方法还包括:接收配置信息,该配置信息用于指示该第一资源。
第二方面,提供了一种链路失败恢复的方法,该方法包括:在第一资源接收第一请求信息,该第一请求信息用于指示L个小区中的至少一个小区的链路失败,该L为大于1的整数;在第二资源接收该第二请求信息,该第二请求信息用于指示L个小区中的链路失败的M个小区的小区信息,M≥1,且M为整数。
在多载波场景中,相对于每个小区的链路失败占用一个资源发送一个请求信息,本申请实施例节省了资源开销。该第二请求信息用于指示该L个小区中的链路失败的M个小区的小区标识,这样网络设备根据该第二请求信息可以获知该L个小区中具体发生链路失败的小区的相关信息。

在一些可能的实现方式中,该M个小区中的第k个小区的小区信息包括q个第一参考信号信息,k为正整数,1<q≤N。

在一些可能的实现方式中,该发送该M个小区的的响应信息包括:根据该q个参考信号信息的优先级顺序,发送该第k个小区对应的响应信息。
q个参考信号信息的优先级可以是网络设备根据恢复该第k个小区的链路的成功率或参考信号的质量确定的,或者可以是根据参考信号信息的ID的顺序确定的,或者根据参考信号信息上报的顺序确定的。网络设备根据该q个参考信号信息的优先级顺序,分别发送该第k个小区对应的响应信息,这样可以提高第二请求信息的响应信息传输成功的概率,也即链路失败恢复成功的概率。
应理解,本实施例中参考信号信息的优先级可以等效为恢复该第k个小区的链路的成功率顺序或参考信号的质量大小顺序,或者可以是参考信号信息的ID的顺序,或者参考信号信息上报的顺序,本发明还可以有其他描述方式,并不对此做限定。

在一些可能的实现方式中,该方法还包括:接收第五请求信息,该第五请求信息用于指示未在该第p个时间窗口检测到该第k个小区对应的响应信息。网络设备可以根据第五请求信息获知终端是否接收到响应信息,进而获知终端还会接续发送请求信息,这样网络设备可以提前做好链路恢复准备,更进一步节省时延。
在一些可能的实现方式中,该第五请求信息承载在该第二资源。
该第五请求信息可以承载于第二资源,即与第二请求信息占用相同的资源,即第五请求信息可以采用半静态资源,节省资源开销。
在一些可能的实现方式中,该方法还包括:在发送该M个小区的响应信息时,释放该第二资源。
网络设备在该M个小区全部恢复成功的情况下,可以释放第二资源。例如,网络设备可以在获知终端设备检测到该M个小区中每个小区对应的第二请求信息的响应信息时,或者网络设备可以在发送该M个小区中每个小区对应的第二请求信息的响应信息时,确 定该M个小区全部恢复成功。或者网络设备获知终端在检测到该M个小区中一部分小区对应的第二请求信息的响应信息,另一部分小区对应的第三请求信息的响应信息时,确定该M个小区全部恢复成功。或者网络设备发送该M个小区中一部分小区对应的第二请求信息的响应信息,另一部分小区对应的第三请求信息的响应信息时,确定该M个小区全部恢复成功。或者网络设备发送该M个小区中每个小区的第三请求信息的响应信息时,确定该M个小区全部恢复成功。应理解,网络设备获知终端设备检测到第二请求信息的响应信息或第三请求信息的响应信息的方式可以为网络设备接收到小区的确认信息。
在一些可能的实现方式中,网络设备在第四资源上重新接收第一请求信息;发送该重新发送的第一请求信息的响应信息,该重新发送的第一请求信息的响应信息用于指示第三资源;其中,该接收第三请求信息包括:在该第三资源上,接收该第三请求信息。
在一些可能的实现方式中,W≤X·L,W为该第一请求信息的传输次数的最大值,X为该M个小区中的任一个小区的小区信息的请求信息的传输次数的最大值。
M是等于1还是大于1,可以取决于基站配置的第二资源大小,或者发生链路失败的资源小区情况。这样本申请实施例可以避免终端设备频繁发送链路失败恢复请求信息,节省功耗开销。

为方便理解本申请,下面介绍与本申请相关的术语:
1、控制资源集合(control resource set,CORESET)
为了提高终端设备盲检控制信道的效率,NR标准制定过程中提出了控制资源集合的概念。网络设备可为终端设备配置一个或多个资源集合,用于发送物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)。网络设备可以在终端设备对应的任一控制资源集合上,向终端设备发送控制信道。此外,网络设备还需要通知终端设备所述控制资源集合的相关联的其他配置,例如搜索空间集合等。每个控制资源集合的配置信息存在差异,例如频域宽度差异、时域长度差异等。可扩展地,本申请中的控制资源集合可以是5G移动通信系统定义的CORESET或控制区域(control region)或增强物理下行控制信道(enhanced-physical downlink control channel,ePDCCH)集合(set)。
PDCCH所占用的时频位置可以称之为下行控制区域。在LTE中,PDCCH始终位于一个子帧的前m个(m可能的取值为1、2、3和4)符号。应注意,LTE中E-PDCCH和R-PDCCH的位置未处于前m个符号。
在NR中,下行控制区域可以由RRC信令通过控制资源集合(control resource set,CORESET)和搜索空间集合(search space set)灵活配置:
控制资源集合可配置PDCCH或控制信道单元(control channel element,CCE)的频域位置,时域的持续符号数(最大值为3)等信息;
搜索空间集合可配置PDCCH的检测周期以及偏移量,在一个时隙内的起始符号等信息。
例如,搜索空间集合可配置PDCCH周期为1个时隙,而时域起始符号为符号0,则终端设备可以在每个时隙的起始位置检测PDCCH。
2、同位置假设(quasi-collocation,QCL)信息
准共站/准共址QCL假设信息也可以称为QCL信息,QCL信息用于辅助描述终端设备接收波束赋形信息以及接收流程。
QCL信息用于指示两种参考信号之间的QCL关系,其中目标参考信号一般是可以是解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS),信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS)等,而被引用的参考信号或者源参考信号一般可以是CSI-RS、追踪参考信号(tracking reference signal,TRS)、同步信号广播信道块(synchronous signal/PBCH block,SSB)等。
spatial relation:空间相关信息用于辅助描述终端设备发射侧波束赋形信息以及发射流程。
spatial relation信息用于指示两种参考信号之间的空间发送参数关系,其中目标参考信号一般是可以是DMRS,SRS等,而被引用的参考信号或者源参考信号一般可以是CSI-RS、SRS、SSB等。
应理解,满足QCL关系的两个参考信号或信道的空间特性参数是相同的,从而基于该源参考信号资源索引可推断出目标参考信号的空间特性参数。
还应理解,满足空间相关性信息的两个参考信号或信道的空间特性参数是相同的,从而基于该源参考信号资源索引可推断出目标参考信号的空间特性参数。
其中,空间特性参数包括以下参数中的一种或多种:
入射角(angle of arrival,AoA)、主(dominant)入射角AoA、平均入射角、入射角的功率角度谱(power angular spectrum,PAS)、出射角(angle of departure,AoD)、主出射角、平均出射角、出射角的功率角度谱、终端设备发送波束成型、终端设备接收波束成型、空间信道相关性、网络设备发送波束成型、网络设备接收波束成型、平均信道增益、平均信道时延(average delay)、时延扩展(delay spread)、多普勒扩展(Doppler spread)、多普勒频移(doppler shift)、空间接收参数(spatial Rx parameters)等。
这些空间特性参数描述了源参考信号与目标参考信号的天线端口间的空间信道特性,有助于终端设备根据该QCL信息完成接收侧波束赋形或接收处理过程。应理解,终端设备可以根据QCL信息指示的源参考信号的接收波束信息,接收目标参考信号;这些空间特性参数还有助于终端设备根据该空间相关信息完成发射侧波束赋形或者发射处理过程,应理解,终端设备可以根据空间相关信息指示的源参考信号的发射波束信息,发射目标参考信号。
其中,为了节省网络设备对终端设备的QCL信息指示开销,作为一种可选的实施方式,网络设备可以指示PDCCH或物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH)的解调参考信号与终端设备之前上报的多个参考信号资源中的一个或多个是满足QCL关系的,例如,该参考信号可以是CSI-RS。这里,每一个上报的CSI-RS资源索引对应了一个之前基于该CSI-RS资源测量时建立的一个收发波束对。应理解,满足QCL关系的两个参考信号或信道的接收波束信息是相同的,该终端设备可以根据该参考信号资源索引推断出接收PDCCH或PDSCH的接收波束信息。
现有标准中定义了四种类型的QCL,网络设备可以同时给终端设备配置一个或多种类型的QCL,如QCL type A+D,C+D:
QCL types A:Doppler shift,Doppler spread,average delay,delay spread
QCL types B:Doppler shift,Doppler spread
QCL types C:average delay,Doppler shift
QCL types D:Spatial Rx parameter
在本申请的举例中,某些参数的对应关系也可以应用于QCL描述下的场景。
应理解,本申请中适用于QCL假设的场景,也可以是两个参考信号,进一步或者是传输对象间的关联关系。
3、传输配置指示(transmission configuration indicator,TCI)状态
一个TCI状态(TCI state)可以包含一个或两个被引用的参考信号,及所关联的QCL类型(QCL type)。QCL类型又可以分为A/B/C/D四个类别,分别是{Doppler shift,Doppler spread,average delay,delay spread,spatial Rx parameter}的不同组合或选择。TCI状态包括QCL信息,或者TCI状态用于指示QCL信息。
4、同步信号广播信道块(synchronous signal/PBCH block,SS/PBCH block)
SS/PBCH block还可以称为SSB。其中,PBCH为物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel)的缩写。SSB包含主同步信号(primary synchronization signal,PSS)、辅同步信号(secondary synchronization signal,SSS)和PBCH中的至少一个。主要用于小区搜索、小区同步、承载广播信息的信号。
5、波束(beam):
波束是一种通信资源,不同的波束可以认为是不同的通信资源。不同的波束可以发送相同的信息,也可以发送不同的信息。波束可以对应时域资源、空间资源和频域资源中的至少一项。
可选地,具有相同或者类型的通信特征的多个波束可以视为一个波束,一个波束内可以包括一个或多个天线端口,用于传输数据信道,控制信道和探测信号等。例如,发送波束可以是指信号经天线发射出去后在空间不同方向上形成的信号强度的分布;接收波束可以是指从天线上接收到的无线信号在空间不同方向上的信号强度分布。
具体地,波束可以是宽波束,也可以是窄波束,还可以是其他类型的波束。形成波束的技术可以是波束成型技术也可以是其他技术手段,本申请对此不进行限定。其中,波束成型技术(Beamforming)可以是通过在空间上朝向特定的方向来实现更高的天线阵列增益。此外,波束可以分为网络设备的发送波束和接收波束,与终端的发送波束和接收波束。网络设备的发送波束用于描述网络设备接收侧波束赋形信息,网络设备的接收波束用于描述网络设备接收侧波束赋形信息。终端的发送波束用于描述终端发送侧波束赋形信息,终端的接收波束用于描述接收侧波束赋形信息。
更具体地,波束成型技术包括数字波束成型技术、模拟波束成型技术和混合数字模拟波束成型技术。其中,模拟波束成型技术可以通过射频实现,例如,一个射频链路(RF chain)通过移相器来调整相位,从而控制模拟波束方向的改变。因此,一个RF chain在同一时刻只能打出一个模拟波束。此外,基于模拟波束的通信,需要发送端和接收端的波束对齐,否则无法正常传输信号。
应理解,形成一个波束的一个或多个天线端口也可以看作是一个天线端口集。
还应理解,波束还可以通过空间滤波器(spatial filter)或空间传输滤波器(spatial domain transmission filter)体现,换句话说,波束也可以称为“空间滤波器”,其中发射波束称为“空间发射滤波器”,接收波束称为“空间接收滤波器”或“下行空间滤波器”。网络设备的接收波束或终端设备的发送波束还可以称为“上行空间滤波器”,网络设备的发送波束或终端设备的接收波束还可以称为“下行空间滤波器”。最优的N个波束对(Beam pair link,BPL)(一个BPL包括一个网络设备的发射波束和一个终端的接收波束,或者,一个BPL包括一个终端的发射波束和一个网络设备的接收波束)的选择。用于终端基于网络设备的波束扫描实现对网络设备的发射波束和/或终端的接收波束的选择,以及,网络设备基于终端的波束扫描实现对终端的发射波束和/或网络设备的接收波束的选择。
具体地,发射波束可以为基站发射波束,也可以为终端发射波束。当该发射波束为基站发射波束时,基站通过不同的发射波束向UE发送参考信号,UE通过同一个接收波束来接收基站通过不同的发射波束发送的参考信号,并基于接收信号确定基站的最优发射波束,然后将基站的最优发射波束反馈给基站,以便于基站对发射波束进行更新。当该发射波束为终端发射波束时,UE通过不同的发射波束向基站发送参考信号,基站通过同一个接收波束来接收UE通过不同的发射波束发送的参考信号,并基于接收信号确定UE的最优发射波束,然后将UE的最优发射波束反馈给UE,以便于UE对发射波束进行更新。其中,上述通过不同的发射波束发送参考信号的过程可以称为波束扫描,基于接收信号确定最优发射波束的过程可以称为波束匹配。
接收波束可以为基站接收波束,也可以为终端接收波束。当该接收波束为基站接收波束时,UE通过同一个发射波束向基站发送参考信号,基站采用不同的接收波束接收UE发送的参考信号,然后基于接收信号确定基站的最优接收波束,以对基站的接收波束进行更新。当该接收波束为UE的接收波束时,基站通过同一个发射波束向UE发送参考信号,UE采用不同的接收波束接收基站发送的参考信号,然后基于接收信号确定UE的最优接收波束,以对UE的接收波束进行更新。
需要说明的是,对于下行波束的训练,网络设备会配置参考信号资源集合的类型用于波束训练,当为参考信号资源集合配置的重复参数为“on”时,终端设备假设该参考信号资源集合中的参考信号使用相同的下行空间滤波器传输,也即使用相同的发送波束传输;此时,一般情况下,终端设备会使用不同的接收波束接收上述参考信号资源集合中的参考信号,训练出终端设备最好的接收波束,可选地,终端设备可以上报UE测量的最好的N个参考信号的信道质量。当为参考信号资源集合配置的重复参数为“off”时,终端设备不会假设该参考信号资源集合中的参考信号使用相同的下行空间滤波器传输,也即不假设网络设备使用相同的发送波束传输参考信号,此时终端设备通过测量该集合中参考信号的信道质量在该资源集合中选出最好的N个波束反馈给网络设备,一般情况下,此时,终端设备在此过程中使用相同的接收波束。
6、带宽区域(bandwidth part,BWP)
网络设备可为终端设备配置一个或多个下行/上行带宽区域,该BWP是由频域上连续的PRB组成,BWP为终端设备带宽内的一个子集。该BWP在频域上的最小粒度是1个PRB。系统可为终端设备配置一个或多个带宽区域,且所述多个带宽区域在频域上可以重叠(overlap)。
在单载波场景下,一个终端设备在同一时刻只能有一个激活的BWP,终端设备只能 在激活的BWP(active BWP)上接收数据/参考信号,或者发送数据/参考信号。
在本申请中,适用于BWP场景的情况中,特定的BWP也可以是一个特定的频率上的带宽集合,或者是多个RB组成的集合。
7、为了检测链路失败及恢复链路失败所配置的参考信号
为了检测和恢复链路故障,网络设备需要给终端设备配置用于波束失败检测的参考信号资源集合(例如,beam failure detection RS resourceconfig或beam failure detection RS或failure detection resources)和用于恢复终端设备与网络设备链路的参考信号资源集合(candidate beam RS list或candidate beam RS identification resource或beam failure candidate beam resource或candidate beam identification RS)(也称为候选参考信号资源集合)。此外用于检测链路失败的参考信号还可以通过隐式方式指示,将指示PDCCH的TCI中关联的参考信号作为检测链路失败的参考信号,该参考信号是与PDCCH的DMRS满足QCL关系的参考信号,且为周期发送的参考信号。其中,beam failure detection RS set中的RS与下行物理控制信道PDCCH的解调参考信号满足QCL关系或者与PDCCH使用相同的TCI状态,当该集合中的部分或者所有参考信号的信道质量信息(如参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP),信道质量指示(channel quality indicator,CQI),块差错率(block error ratio,BLER),信号与干扰加噪声比(signal to Interference plus noise ratio,SINR),信噪比(signal noise ratio,SNR)等)低于预定门限,则判定为通信链路故障。其中低于预定门限可以是连续W次低于预定门限或者一定时间段内W次低于预定门限。可选的,该预定门限可以和无线链路失败失步门限(radio link failure OOS(out of sync))相同。

在本申请实施例中,通信失败还可以称为通信链路失败、通信链路故障、链路故障、链路失败、通信故障、波束失败、波束故障等。在本申请实施例中,这些概念是相同的含义。该通信失败可以是指用于PDCCH的波束失败检测的参考信号的信号质量小于或者等于预设门限。通信链路故障后,终端设备需要从候选参考信号资源集合中选出信道质量信息(如RSRP、RSRQ、CQI、SINR等)高于预定门限的参考信号资源,用于恢复通信链路。
可选的,该预定门限可以由网络设备配置。这里,beam failure detection RS是用于终端设备检测网络设备的某一发射波束的信道质量,该发射波束是网络设备与该终端设备进行通信时所使用的波束。
candidate beam identification RS用于终端设备在判断出网络设备的该发射波束发生通信链路故障后,用于发起链路重配的参考信号集合。
在本申请实施例中,通信失败恢复也可以称为恢复网络设备与终端设备通信,通信故障恢复、链路失败恢复、链路故障恢复、波束失败恢复、波束故障恢复通信链路失败恢复、通信链路故障恢复、链路重配等。
在具体实现中,用于波束失败检测的参考信号资源集合以及用于恢复终端设备与网络设备链路的参考信号资源集合这两个集合的名称还可以有其他叫法,本申请对此不作具体限定。

应理解,本申请实施例中的通信失败、通信失败恢复、通信失败恢复请求信息和通信失败恢复响应信息的名称还可以有其他叫法,本申请对此不作具体限定。
应理解,本申请中,某小区的链路恢复失败可以理解为终端设备不再发送该小区对饮高的第一请求信息和/或第二请求信息和/或第三请求信息,也可以理解为停止链路失败恢复时钟计时,也可以理解为停止链路失败恢复计数器计数等。或者某小区的链路恢复失败可以理解为该小区对应的链路失败恢复时钟超时,和或链路失败恢复计数器计数超过最大次数或达到最大次数仍未收到该小区的响应信息。其中,链路失败恢复计数器用于计数链路失败恢复请求信息的发送次数。可选地,终端设备的媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层会维护一个链路失败恢复计时器(beam failure recovery timer)和链路失败恢复计数器(beam failure recovery counter)。该链路失败恢复计时器用于控制整个链路失败恢复的时间,该链路失败恢复计数器用于限制该终端设备发送链路失败恢复请求的次数,当链路失败恢复计数器达到最大值时,该终端设备认为链路失败恢复不成功,停止链路失败恢复过程。所述恢复计时器的恢复时间和所述恢复计数器的计数值可以是网络设备配置的,也可以是预设值。
应理解,本申请中,某小区的链路恢复成功可以理解为终端设备检测到该小区的响应信息。
应理解,本申请实施例中的“检测”可以理解为“接收”,还可以理解为“解码”。
应理解,本申请中,时间单元可以是LTE或者5G NR系统中定义的一个或多个无线帧,一个或多个子帧,一个或多个时隙,一个或多个微时隙(mini slot),一个或多个正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,OFDM)符号等,也可以是多个帧或子帧构成的时间窗口,例如系统信息(system information,SI)窗口。

图2示出了传统方案中一种链路失败恢复的示意性流程图。
201,终端检测当前链路的工作状态。例如,终端可以检测得到当前链路失败。
应理解,本申请的链路可以理解为“波束”,即终端采用当前波束进行信号传输失败。
例如,当终端设备判断连续N次beam failure detection RS或者beam failure detection RS set中所有或部分参考信号的信道质量信息小于或等于第二预设门限时,该终端设备可以确定该终端设备与网络设备之间的链路发生故障。
应理解,本申请实施例中,该终端设备确定与网络设备之间的链路发生故障的方式并不限于以上举例,还可以由其他判断方式确定,本申请对此并不作任何限定。
202,终端选择新的链路,即终端选择新的波束。
例如,该终端设备根据候选参考信号集合(candidate beam identification RS)的信道质量信息,确定信道质量大于或者等于第一预设门限的参考信号(new identified beam);这里的确定过程可以是测量所述候选参考信号集合的信道质量信息确定的。
203,终端在选择新的链路之后,向网络设备发送调度请求(scheduling request,SR),该SR用于请求网络设备配置上行资源。
204,网络设备在接收到SR之后,由于无法获知终端存在多少上行数据需要传输,则网络设备向终端发送下行控制信息,该下行控制信息用于调度传输缓冲区状态报告(buffer status reporting,BSR)的上行资源。
205,终端在下行控制信息指示的上行资源上发送BSR,该BSR用于指示终端待发送数据的数据量的大小。
206,网络设备根据终端待发送数据的数据量大小,向终端发送资源分配信息,该资源分配信息用于指示传输PUSCH的资源。
207,终端在该资源分配信息指示的资源上发送PUSCH,且该PUSCH承载下行链路信息和发生链路失败的小区的索引。
208,若终端接收到链路失败恢复响应信息,则终端确定链路失败恢复成功。
但是,若终端没有接收到链路失败恢复响应信息,则链路失败恢复失败,从而使得链路通信中断,通信效率降低。
图3示出了本申请一个实施例的链路失败恢复的方法的示意性流程图。
301,终端在第一资源上发送第一请求信息,该第一请求信息用于指示L个小区中的至少一个小区的链路失败,L>1,且L为整数。相应地,网络设备接收该第一请求信息。
具体地,终端在检测到L个小区中的任意一个小区的链路失败,或者L个小区中的任意多个小区的链路失败,都可以在同一个资源上(即第一资源)向网络设备发送第一请求信息,以告知网络设备该L个小区中至少存在一个小区的链路发生失败。这样在多载波场景中,相对于每个小区的链路失败占用一个资源发送一个请求信息,本申请实施例节省了资源开销。
需要说明的是,该L个小区中的每个小区可以分别对应一个网络设备,也可以是L个小区中的部分小区对应一个网络设备,还可以是L个小区只对应一个网络设备,本申请对此不进行限定。
还需要说明的是,该L的取值可以是网络设备和终端预先约定的(如通过协议预定义 的),还可以是网络设备指示的,还可以是终端能力上报的。
应理解,该第一请求信息可以是“BFRQ1”。BFRQ1可以是与调度请求(scheduling request,SR)具有相同格式的信息。
可选地,终端可以在确定该L个小区中至少存在一个小区链路失败的情况下,触发该步骤301。
可选地,终端也可以在确定该L个小区中至少存在一个小区链路失败,且识别出新的用于恢复该至少一个小区的链路的参考信号信息的情况下,触发该步骤301。
该第一资源可以是PUCCH资源,还可以是PRACH资源,还可以是PUSCH资源等。该第一资源可以是专用于发送波束失败恢复请求信息的资源,还可以是用于其他功能的资源,例如波束管理过程中,上报波束信息(L1-RSRP或L1-SINR相关信息)资源,或者CSI获取阶段中,上报CQI相关信息(如PMI,RI,CQI,CRI等中的一种或多种信息)的资源。该第一资源可以是周期资源,还可以是半周期(semi-persistent)资源。
302,该终端在第二资源上发送第二请求信息,该第二请求信息用于指示该L个小区中的链路失败的M个小区的小区信息,M≥1,且M为整数。相应地,网络设备接收该第二请求信息。
具体地,该第二请求信息用于指示该L个小区中的链路失败的M个小区的小区标识,这样网络设备根据该第二请求信息可以获知该L个小区中具体发生链路失败的小区的相关信息。其中,在M=1的情况下,该第二请求信息可以用于指示L个小区中的链路失败的任意一个小区的小区信息,这样相对于每个小区的请求信息占用不同的资源发送第二请求信息,节省了资源开销。在M>1的情况下,该第二请求信息可以用于指示链路失败的多个小区的小区信息,这样相对于M个小区中的每个小区的请求信息分别发送或分时发送,本申请实施例节省了恢复时延。
需要说明的是,第二请求信息可以显示地指示该L个小区中的链路失败的M个小区的小区标识,例如直接携带小区标识。第二请求信息还可以隐式地指示该L个小区中的链路失败的M个小区的小区标识,例如通过网络设备配置小区和第二资源的关联关系,终端设备通过选择发送第二请求信息的第二资源,隐式通知网络设备其发生链路失败的小区是哪个小区(如第一小区关联第二资源a,第二小区关联第二资源b,终端设备发现第二小区发生链路失败后,通过第二资源b发送第二请求信息,即可隐式指示第二小区发生链路失败)。
应理解,该第二请求信息可以是“BFRQ2”。
可选地,小区信息可以包括小区标识和/或用于恢复小区的参考信号信息。
具体地,该M个小区的小区信息可以包括该M个小区的小区标识和/或用于恢复该M个小区的N个第一参考信号信息。恢复一个小区的第一参考信号可以是一个,也可以是多个,或者恢复多个小区的第一参考信号可以是同一个,本申请对此不进行限定。另外,小区标识和第一参考信号信息可以具有映射关系,这样在M个小区的小区信息只包括M个小区的小区标识的情况下,网络设备可以根据该M小区的标识确定对应的第一参考信号,或者在M个小区的小区信息只包括N个第一参考信号的情况下,网络设备可以根据该N个第一参考信号确定对应的小区标识。可选地,在配置了用于恢复第i个小区链路失败参考信号资源集合,和/或,终端设备识别到大于预设门限的该集合中的参考信号时,所述 M个小区的小区信息可以包括该第i个小区的标识和恢复该第i个小区的第一参考信号信息;否则,所述M个小区的小区信息包括该第i个小区的标识,还可以包括没有恢复该第i个小区的参考信号的状态信息,即终端没有识别到用于恢复该第i个小区的参考信号信息。
可选地,该第二资源可以是PUCCH资源,还可以是PUSCH资源,还可以是PRACH资源等。
应理解,本申请实施例中的“参考信号信息”可以是前述描述的“波束”,还可以是同位置假设(quasi-collocation,QCL)信息。
在一种可选地实施方式中,M可以大于1,终端设备可以根据第二资源的大小和或当前网络发生链路失败的小区的个数确定发送多少个(一个或多个)失败小区的小区信息。在该实施方式中,当多个小区发生链路失败时,终端设备可以发送多个发生链路失败的小区的小区信息,也即可以同时恢复多个小区的链路,有效减少多个小区链路恢复的时延。
在另一种可选地实施方式中,M只能等于1,也即无论有多少个小区发生链路失败,终端设备的该第二请求信息中只能携带一个发生链路失败的小区的小区信息,该种方法中,网络设备分配的第二资源可以较小,节省资源开销。
对于上述两种实施方式,若当前网络发生链路失败的小区个数大于第二资源可以承载的小区信息的个数,终端设备可以根据如下小区优先级,选择在第二请求信息中优先发送哪些链路失败的小区的小区信息。
可选地,该小区的优先级高低可以由发生链路失败的先后确定,如先发生链路失败的小区比后发送链路失败的小区的优先级高;或者所述小区的优先级高低可以由小区的标识的取值大小确定,如先标识小的小区比标识大的小区的优先级高;或者所述小区的优先级高低可以由小区属于主小区或辅小区确定,如先主小区比辅小区的优先级高;或者小区优先级可以由小区的带宽(所所占频域资源)大小确定,如所占带宽大的小区比所在带宽小的小区的优先级高;或者小区优先级可以由与该小区使用相同QCL信息或满足QCL关系QCLed的小区个数确定,如使用相同QCL信息多的小区比使用相同QCL信息少的小区优先级高,例如:小区1的PDCCH的QCL信息与2个小区的相同,小区2的PDCCH的QCL信息没有小区与之相同,那么小区1的优先级高于小区2的优先级。
可选地,在步骤302之后,终端可以检测该M个小区的响应信息,并根据检测结果发送第三请求信息。
具体地,终端在发送第二请求之后,每个小区根据该第二请求信息进行链路恢复。网络设备收到某一个小区(例如,第j个小区)的第二请求信息后,该第j个小区对应的网络设备可以向该终端反馈该第二请求信息的响应信息,若终端设备收到该第二请求信息的响应信息,则认为链路恢复成功。若终端设备发送某一个小区(例如,第i个小区)的第二请求信息后,网络设备没有收到该第i个小区的第二请求信息,或者网络设备收到该请求信息并发送第二请求信息的响应信息,但是终端设备没有检测到第二请求信息的响应信息,则终端可以重新发送该第i个小区的小区信息,直至发送小区信息的最大传输次数超过预设值或者第i个小区的恢复时间超过预设时长,则认为该第i个小区的链路没有恢复成功。在终端没有检测到第i个小区对应的第二请求信息的响应信息的情况下,终端向网络设备发送包括该第i个小区的小区标识和/或用于恢复该第i个小区的第二参考信号信息 的该第三请求信息,这样网络设备接收到该第三请求信息后,继续恢复第i个小区的链路。在终端检测到第j个小区对应的第二请求信息的响应信息的情况下,终端向网络设备发送包括该第j个小区的确认信息的第三请求信息,这样网络设备可以获知该第j个小区的链路恢复成功,从而可以释放第二资源,避免资源浪费,或者当网络设备或者该M个小区均链路恢复成功,便可及时释放第二资源(可以配置用于传输其他信息,或释放给其它用于传输上行数据或信号)。换句话说,终端无论在检测到,还是没有检测到某个小区对应的第二请求信息的响应信息的情况下,都会发送第三请求信息。
需要说明的是,若终端在发送第三请求信息后,还没有收到一些小区的该第三请求信息的响应信息,本申请实施例中,终端还可以接续发送请求信息,以恢复小区的链路。例如,终端可以一直发送请求信息,直到对应小区的链路恢复成功,或者终端发送(该小区的)请求信息的次数超过预设值(如传输次数最大值)和或终端链路失败恢复的时间超过预设时长(如链路失败恢复计时器超时)。或者若除了恢复成功的SCell外,其他所有SCell在该SCell的请求信息达到传输次数,仍收不到响应信息;或除了恢复成功的SCell外,其他所有该SCell对应的波束失败恢复(beam failure recovery,BFR)定时器(timer)超时时,释放(deactivate)该BFRQ2资源。再或者,若UE能成功接收第i个小区的响应信息(可以认为该第i个小区的链路失败恢复成功),可以停止该小区的链路失败恢复计时器。该请求信息可以理解为小区信息。例如:当确定第一请求信息或第二请求信息中指示的所有小区链路恢复成功时,可以释放第二资源;或者当确定第一请求信息或第二请求信息中指示的所有小区中一部分小区链路恢复成功,剩余小区链路恢复失败时,可以释放第二资源;或者当UE确定第一请求信息或第二请求信息中指示的所有小区链路恢复失败时,可以释放第二资源。其中,小区的链路恢复成功可以指接收到该小区的响应信息,小区链路恢复失败可以指发送该小区的请求信息大于或等于最大次数仍未收到该小区的响应信息和或恢复该小区链路的时间超过预设时长。
在另一种实施方式中,终端设备在未检测到M个小区中至少一个小区的响应信息时才会发送第三请求信息,否则UE不会发送第三请求信息。
需要说明的是,第一参考信号信息和第二参考信号信息可以不同,也就是说,针对某个小区(例如,第一小区)的第一参考信号信息无法恢复该第一小区,则需要新识别第二参考信号信息来恢复该第一小区。
需要说明的是,i的取值可以与j的取值相同,也就是说,本申请实施例对于同一个小区在链路恢复成功或失败的不同场景下的反馈情况。
应理解,第i个小区或第j个小区都可以是该M个小区中的任意一个小区。
还应理解,该第三请求信息可以是“RE-BFRQ2”,还可以指第二请求信息的重传信息。
可选地,第j个小区的确认信息可以包括该第j个小区的小区标识(cell identity,cell ID)和/或确认标识(confirm)。
可选地,该第三请求信息包括该M个小区中链路恢复失败的小区的小区标识和用于恢复该链路恢复失败的小区的第二参考信号信息,以及该M个小区中链路恢复成功的小区的确认信息。
具体地,该第三请求信息包括该M个小区中链路恢复失败的第i个小区的小区标识和用于恢复该第i个小区的第二参考信号信息,以及该M个小区中链路恢复成功的第j个小 区的确认信息。链路恢复失败的小区的小区标识和用于恢复链路恢复失败的小区的第二参考信号可以与链路恢复成功的小区的确认信息携带在同一个第三请求信息中,也就是说,指示链路恢复失败的小区重新识别的参考信号信息,和指示恢复成功的小区的确认信息在同一个请求信息中发送,节省了信令开销。
需要说明的是,该第三请求信息中可以包括该M个小区中全部或部分链路恢复失败的小区的小区信息。还可以包括该M个小区中全部或部分链路恢复成功的小区的确认信息。
例如,如图4所示,终端发送第一请求信息(BFRQ1),以及发送第二请求信息BFRQ2,其中,BFRQ2可以包括链路失败的M个小区的小区标识和每个小区对应的第一参考信号信息,小区ID1-参考信号信息b1、小区ID2-参考信号信息b2,小区ID3-参考信号信息b3,…,小区IDM-参考信号信息bM。在检测到小区ID2和小区ID3对应的BFRQ2的响应信息(BRRR2),以及没有检测到小区ID1对应的BFRQ2的响应信息(BRRR2)的情况下,该第三请求信息(RE-BFRQ2)可以包括小区ID1-参考信号信息b4、小区ID2-确认标识,小区ID3-确认标识…。
可选地,终端还可以接收第一请求信息的响应信息,该第一请求信息的响应信息用于指示或激活该第二资源。
具体地,在一种实施方式中,网络设备在接收到第一请求信息之后,还可以发送该第一请求信息的响应信息。该第一请求信息的响应信息可以用于指示为该终端分配的第二资源,即网络设备为该终端分配资源。该第二资源可以是非周期资源(或称为动态资源),该种方法下,网络设备根据当前网络中是否有链路失败的小区(通过第一请求信息指示)来确定是否要分配第二资源,若网络设备接收到第一请求信息,即可获知当前网络中有发生链路失败的小区,网络设备即可动态的分配第二资源,以便终端设备进一步上报有哪些小区发生链路失败,和或,上报恢复链路失败小区的新链路的信息(第一参考信号信息)。由于链路失败事件是突发事件,该种方法不需要提前预留发送链路失败恢复请求信息的周期资源,可以有效节省资源开销。
在另一种实施方式中,该第一请求信息的响应信息还可以用于激活第二资源,即原本为该终端分配的第二资源,由该第一请求信息的响应信息触发激活,该激活的第二资源为半静态资源(semi-persistent)或静态资源(periodic)。如第二资源可以是由第一请求信息后的第一请求信息的响应信息或第一请求信息后的下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)信令激活的半静态资源或静态资源(例如物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH),物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH),或物理随机接入信道(physical random access channel,PRACH))。该种方法下,网络设备根据当前网络中是否有链路失败的小区(通过第一请求信息指示)来确定是否要激活第二资源,若网络设备接收到第一请求信息,即可获知当前网络中有发生链路失败的小区,网络设备激活第二资源,以便终端设备进一步上报有哪些小区发生链路失败,和或,上报恢复链路失败小区的新链路的信息(第一参考信号信息),若链路恢复成功即可及时释放该资源,若链路没有恢复成功,终端设备可以继续在该资源上发送第二请求信息,直至链路失败恢复成功或链路失败恢复请求发送次数达到预设的最大值或链路失败恢复时长达到预设时长,即可释放该第二资源。该种方法在终端设备需要重传链路失败的小 区信息时,可以不用再通过第一请求信息的响应信息分配的资源发送重传信息,而是直接在该第二资源上发送重传信息,可以有效降低恢复时延。
可选地,该第二资源可以是高层信令或系统信息配置的,或为预设资源。
具体地,该第二资源可以是由网络设备为该终端配置的,并通过高层信令或系统信息发送给终端。该第二资源还可以网络设备和终端设备预先约定的,或者由终端提前设定,本申请对此不进行限定。该种方法在终端设备需要重传链路失败的小区信息时,可以不用再通过第一请求信息的响应信息分配的资源发送重传信息,而是直接在该第二资源上发送重传信息,可以有效减小链路恢复时延,提高链路恢复速度。
可选地,该第二资源还可以是与第一资源关联关系的资源。
具体地,该第二资源可以与第一资源具有映射关系,这样终端在获知第一资源的情况下,就可以确定出第二资源。可选地,该第一资源和第二资源的关联关系可以由主信息块(master information block,MIB)或系统消息块(system information block,SIB)等系统信息配置,或者由无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)或媒体访问控制(media access control,MAC)-控制元素(control element,CE)信令配置。该系统信息或信令可以在发送第一请求信息之前发送。可选地,该第一资源和第二资源的配置也可以通过上述系统信息或信令配置。该种方法在终端设备需要重传链路失败的小区信息时,可以不用再通过第一请求信息的响应信息分配的资源发送重传信息,而是直接在该第二资源上发送重传信息,可以有效减小链路恢复时延,提高链路恢复速度。
需要说明的是,网络设备可以为终端配置多个资源用于传输第一请求信息,以及为终端配置多个资源用于传输第二请求信息,终端可以从该多个用于传输第一请求信息的资源中选择一个或多个作为第一资源,还可以从多个用于传输第二请求信息的资源中选择一个或多个作为第二资源。其中,该多个用于传输第一请求信息的资源和该多个用于传输第二请求信息的资源分别可以由上述MIB或SIB等系统信息配置,或者由RRC或MAC-CE等信令配置。
可选地,该第二资源还可以是与第一请求信息关联的资源。可选地,网络设备可以通过MIB或SIB等系统信息,或者通过RRC或MAC-CE信令配置,多个用于发送第一请求信息的资源和多个用于发送第二请求信息的资源,以及该多个用于发送第一请求信息的资源与多个用于发送第二请求信息资源的关联关系,终端可以从该多个用于传输第一请求信息的资源中选择一个作为第一资源,还可以从多个用于传输第二请求信息的资源中选择一个作为第二资源。每个第一资源可以关联一个或多个第二资源,每个第一资源关联的第二资源可以大小不同。终端设备在哪个第一资源发送第一请求信息,那么,终端设备就在该发送第一请求信息的第一资源关联的第二资源上发送第二请求信息。
可选地,终端可以在该第二资源上发送该第三请求信息。
具体地,终端可以复用发送第二请求信息的资源发送该第三请求信息,无需等待第一请求信息的响应信息再分配资源发送第二请求信息,从而节省了资源分配的时间,此外,整体上提高了链路恢复速度。
应理解,第三请求信息占用的资源和第二请求信息占用的相同的第二资源,可以理解为承载第二请求信息的资源和承载第三请求信息的资源均为网络设备配置的某一个周期的或者半周期的资源,也可以理解为承载第二请求信息的资源和第三请求信息的资源是相 同的频域资源在不同时间单元上的重复。此外,该第三请求信息占用的资源和第二请求信息占用的资源还可以是同一个资源块中的不同位置的资源。
应理解,终端复用发送第二请求信息的资源发送该第三请求信息可以理解为终端使用发送第二请求信息的静态或半静态(semi-persistent或semi-static)的资源发送第三请求信息。
可选地,终端在检测到M个小区的全部的响应信息时,释放该第二资源。
具体地,终端在该M个小区全部恢复成功的情况下,可以释放第二资源。例如,终端可以在检测到该M个小区中每个小区对应的第二请求信息的响应信息时,确定该M个小区全部恢复成功。或者终端在检测到该M个小区中一部分小区对应的第二请求信息的响应信息,另一部分小区对应的第三请求信息的响应信息时,确定该M个小区全部恢复成功。或者终端在检测到该M个小区中每个小区的第三请求信息的响应信息时,确定该M个小区全部恢复成功。
可选地,终端设备确定M个小区中的K1个小区恢复失败,K2个小区恢复成功,K1+K2=M,则释放第二资源,其中K1,K2均为大于或等于0的整数。该小区恢复失败是指终端设备发送该小区的链路失败恢复请求信息次数超过预设值(最大值),和或,恢复该小区的链路时间超过预设时长,则认为该小区链路恢复失败。该小区恢复成功是指,终端设备收到该小区的链路失败恢复响应信息。
可选地,在终端检测该M个小区的响应信息时至少有一个小区的响应信息没有接收到的情况下,终端可以在第四资源上重新发送第一请求信息,并接收该重新发送的第一请求信息的响应信息,该重新发送的第一请求信息的响应信息用于指示第三资源,这样终端可以在该第三资源上发送第三请求信息。也就是说,该第三资源可以动态配置的,例如,由网络设备通过重新发送的第一请求信息的响应信息指示该第三资源。
可选地,该第四资源可以与第一资源相同。也就是说,对于第一请求信息来说,传输该第一请求信息的资源可以是静态的,即初次传输第一请求信息占用的资源,也可以用于重传该第一请求信息,不需要重新分配,节省了时间。
可选地,该M个小区中的第k个小区的小区信息包括q个第一参考信号信息,k为正整数,1<q≤N。
具体地,该M个小区中的第k个小区的小区信息可以包括多个第一参考信号,也就是说,终端可以同时发送多个参考信号信息用于共同来恢复链路失败的该第k个小区,从而更进一步提高链路恢复成功的概率。特别是对于支持多波束传输的场景(例如终端有多个天线面板(panel)),使用该多个参考信号同时恢复链路。此外终端设备上报多个候选参考信号用于恢复链路的参考信号,可以使用该多个参考信号分时恢复链路,有效降低因为一个参考信号恢复失败后,重传第二请求信息带来的时延,提高恢复效率。
应理解,该M个小区中的每个小区的小区信息都可以包括多个第一参考信号信息,或者该M个小区中的部分小区的小区信息包括多个第一参考信号信息,本申请对此不进行限定。
还应理解,该第k个小区的小区信息还可以包括该第k个小区的小区标识。
可选地,终端检测M个小区中第k个小区对应的第二请求信息的响应信息具体可以是根据该q个参考信号信息的优先级顺序,检测该第二请求信息的响应信息。
具体地,q个参考信号信息的优先级可以是终端根据恢复该第k个小区的链路的成功率或参考信号的质量确定的,或者可以是根据参考信号信息的ID的顺序确定的,或者根据参考信号信息上报的顺序确定的。终端根据该q个参考信号信息的优先级顺序,可以分别检测该第k个小区对应的响应信息,这样可以提高第二请求信息的响应信息传输成功的概率,也即链路失败恢复成功的概率。
应理解,本实施例中参考信号信息的优先级可以等效为恢复该第k个小区的链路的成功率顺序或参考信号的质量大小顺序,或者可以是参考信号信息的ID的顺序,或者参考信号信息上报的顺序,本发明还可以有其他描述方式,并不对此做限定。
可选地,终端根据该q个参考信号信息中每个参考信号信息检测该第k个小区对应的响应信息可以是在对应的时间窗口上检测,这样避免了根据某一个参考信号检测第二请求信息的响应信息的等待时长太长,造成链路恢复时延较长,即本申请实施例提高了链路恢复的效率,减少了链路恢复时间。例如,在第p个时间窗口根据第p个优先级排序的参考信号信息检测该第二请求信息的响应信息,1≤p≤q。
需要说明的是,不同的参考信号信息可以具有不同的优先级,不同的优先级可以存在先后顺序,终端根据优先级排序的参考信号信息检测响应信息可以理解为终端根据参考信号信息的优先级的先后顺序进行检测响应信息。
可选地,终端根据该q个参考信号信息的优先级顺序,检测该第二请求信息的响应信息可以是在根据上一个参考信号信息(例如,第p个参考信号信息)检测该第二请求信息的响应信息失败的情况下,再根据下一个参考信号信息(例如,第p+1个参考信号信息)检测该第二请求信息的响应信息,从而更近一步节省信令开销。
需要说明的是,终端也可以分别在相应的时间窗口检测第p个参考信号信息和第p+1个参考信号信息。例如,如图5所示,BFRQ2包括第k个小区的标识(小区IDk)和用于恢复该第k个小区的参考信号信息b1,b2,b3…,终端在第一时间窗口根据参考信号信息b1检测该第二请求信息的响应信息(BFRR2-b1),若在第一时间窗口没有检测到BFRR2-b1,则在第二时间窗口根据参考信号信息b2检测该第二请求信息的响应信息(BFRR2-b2)。若在第一时间窗口检测到BFRR2-b1,则可以不需要进行后面的检测。
应理解,终端在接收到第二请求信息的响应信息之后,可以通过该响应信息对应的第一参考信号信息接收物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH),物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH),PUCCH,PUSCH,探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS),信道状态信息(channel state information,CSI)-参考信号(reference signal,RS),追踪参考信号(tracking reference signal,TRS)中的至少一种。
可选地,在一种实施方式中,终端在根据一个参考信号信息(例如第p个参考信号信息)检测该第二请求信息的响应信息,若未检测到该第二请求信息的响应,还可以向网络设备发送第五请求信息,该第五请求信息用于指示未检测到该第p个参考信号对应的第二请求信息的响应信息,或者用于指示未在第p个参考信号信息对应的第p个时间窗口上检测到该第p个参考信号对应的第二请求信息的响应信息。在该实施方式中,网络设备接收到该第五请求信息后,获知终端设备未检测到该第p个参考信号信息对应的第二请求信息的响应信息,网络设备可以再根据第p+1个参考信号信息发送第二请求信息的响应信息。 否则若未再规定的时间内接收到该第五请求信息,网络设备可以认为链路恢复成功,网络设备可以不再发送第二请求信息的响应信息。可选地,该第p+1个参考信号信息对应的第p+1个时间窗口的起始位置位于发送第五请求信息后的Y个时间单元,X大于或等于0。
应理解上述方法还可以扩展至终端根据一组参考信号信息(包括两个及两个以上参考信号信息)检测第二请求信息的响应信息的情况。
可选地,该第五请求信息可以承载于第二资源,即与第二请求信息占用相同的资源,即第五请求信息可以采用半静态资源,节省资源开销。
可选地,该第五请求信息可以承载于第一资源,即与第一请求信息占用相同的资源,即第五请求信息可以采用半静态资源,节省资源开销。该第五请求信息可以与第一请求信息具有相同的格式。
可选地,在另一种实施方式中,终端在根据一个参考信号信息(例如第p个参考信号信息)检测该第二请求信息的响应信息,若检测到该第二请求信息的响应,还可以向终端设备发送确认信息,该确认信息用于指示检测到该第p个参考信号对应的第二请求信息的响应信息,或者用于指示在第p个参考信号信息对应的第p个时间窗口上检测到该第二请求信息的响应信息。网络设备在收到该确认信息后,可及时释放第二资源或即使停止响应信息的发送或获知链路失败恢复成功,有效节省资源开销。可选地,该确认信息可以承载与第二资源,即与第二请求信息占用相同的资源,即确认信息可以采用半静态资源,节省资源开销。若根据第p个参考信号信息未检测该第二请求信息的响应信息,则(在第二时间窗口)根据第p+1个参考信号信息检测该第二请求信息的响应信息。
可选地,第一请求信息的传输次数的最大值W,可以与用于指示某一个小区的小区信息的请求信息的传输次数最大值X具有大小关系。
应理解,该用于指示某一个小区的小区信息的请求信息可以包括上述第二请求信息,和/或上述第三请求信息。
在一种可选地实施方式中,第二资源是周期资源(也可以是静态资源)或半周期资源(也可以是半静态资源),且允许M>1或者M=1,在此实施方式中,W≤X·L。其中,M是等于1还是大于1,可以取决于基站配置的第二资源大小,或者发生链路失败的资源小区情况。该实施方式可以避免终端设备频繁发送链路失败恢复请求信息,费电。
在另一种可选地实施方式中,第二资源是周期资源(也可以是静态资源)或半周期资源(也可以是半静态资源),且M=1,L≤W≤X·L。这样可以保证每个链路失败的小区均有机会发送第二请求信息,或可以保证每个小区均有相同的机会恢复链路,还可以避免终端设备频繁发送链路失败恢复请求信息。
在另一种可选地实施方式中,第二资源是动态资源,X≤W≤X·L。这样可以保证每个链路失败的小区均有机会发送第二请求信息,或可以保证每个小区均有相同的机会恢复链路,还可以避免终端设备频繁发送链路失败恢复请求信息。

需要说明的是,在不作特别说明的情况下,本申请实施例中与图3-图5所示的实施例中相同的术语表示的含义相同。
还需要说明的是,本申请实施例与图3-图5所示的实施例中能够结合方案,为避免赘述,本申请对此不进行重复。
601,终端在第一资源上发送第一请求信息,该第一请求信息用于指示L个小区中的至少一个小区的链路失败,L>1,且L为整数。相应地,网络设备接收该第一请求信息。
具体地,终端在检测到多个小区中的任意一个小区的链路失败,或者多个小区中的任意多个小区的链路失败,都可以在同一个资源上(即第一资源)向网络设备发送第一请求信息,以告知网络设备该L个小区中至少存在一个小区的链路发生失败。这样在多载波场景中,相对于每个小区的链路失败占用一个资源发送一个请求信息,本申请实施例节省了资源开销。
602,终端发送M个第二请求信息,该M个第二请求信息中的每个请求信息用于指示链路失败的小区的小区信息,M≥1,且M为整数。
具体地,每个第二请求信息可以用于指示一个链路失败的小区的小区信息,也可以用于指示多个链路失败的小区的小区信息,本申请对此不进行限定,为方便描述,下述实施例中,在不作特别说明的情况下,每个第二请求信息用于指示一个链路失败的小区的小区信息。
可选地,小区信息可以包括对应的链路失败的小区的小区标识和用于恢复所述对应的链路失败的小区的第一参考信号信息。
具体地,一个第二请求信息对应一个链路失败的小区的小区标识和用于恢复该小区的第一参考信号信息。
可选地,步骤602具体可以是终端根据该M个第二请求信息中每个第二请求信息对应的小区的优先级高低,发送该M个第二请求信息。
具体地,M个第二请求信息可以根据第二请求信息对应的小区的优先级高低,按照时间先后的顺序发送该M个第二请求信息。例如,该第二请求信息对应的小区的优先级高的优先发送,或者该第二请求信息对应的小区的优先级低的优先发送。
例如,如图7所示,小区ID1的优先级高于小区ID2的优先级。则优先传输小区ID1对应的第二请求信息,该小区ID1对应的第二请求信息中还可以包括参考信号信息b1(可以用于恢复小区ID1的链路),之后再传输小区ID2对应的第二请求信息,该小区ID2对应的第二请求信息中还可以包括参考信号信息b2(可以用于恢复小区ID2的链路)。
可选地,该小区的优先级高低可以由发生链路失败的先后确定,如先发生链路失败的小区比后发送链路失败的小区的优先级高;或者所述小区的优先级高低可以由小区的标识的取值大小确定,如先标识小的小区比标识大的小区的优先级高;或者所述小区的优先级高低可以由小区属于主小区或辅小区确定,如先主小区比辅小区的优先级高;或者小区优先级可以由小区的带宽(所所占频域资源)大小确定,如所占带宽大的小区比所在带宽小的小区的优先级高;或者小区优先级可以由与该小区使用相同QCL信息或满足QCL关系的小区个数确定,如使用相同QCL信息多的小区比使用相同QCL信息少的小区优先级高,例如:小区1的PDCCH的QCL信息与2个小区的相同,小区2的PDCCH的QCL信息没有小区与之相同,那么小区1的优先级高于小区2的优先级。
可选地,终端可以检测该M个第二请求信息的响应信息。在未检测到该M个第二请求信息中的第s个第二请求信息对应的响应信息的情况下,发送第三请求信息,该第三请求信息用于指示该第s个小区和/或用于恢复该第s个小区的第二参考信号信息,s为正整数,且s∈{1,2,…,M}。
具体地,终端可以检测该M个第二请求信息的响应信息,在检测不到任意一个第二请求信息的响应信息的情况下,都可以再发送对应的第三请求信息来恢复该小区。
可选地,若第二请求信息在第二资源上发送,则第三请求信息可以复用该第二资源,并在该第二资源上发送第三请求信息,从而节省资源开销。
需要说明的是,该M个第二请求信息中对应于不同小区的第二请求信息占用的资源可以不同。
可选地,终端在检测到第s个第二请求信息的响应信息时,释放该第二资源。
具体地,终端在检测到某一个小区对应的第二请求信息的响应信息之后,可以释放发送该第二请求信息的第二资源。
可选地,终端在第四资源上重新发送第一请求信息,并接收重新发送的第一请求信息的响应信息,该重新发送的第一请求信息的响应信息用于指示第三资源,在该第三资源上发送该第三请求信息。
可选地,第四资源和该第一资源相同。
终端在检测到链路故障的情况下,向网络设备发送两次请求信息,例如,第一次请求信息用于告知网络设备链路失败,第二次请求信息用于指示新识别的波束的信息和/或指示链路失败的小区标识,其中第一次请求信息为周期性发送,第二请求信息为非周期性发送,这样相对于频繁的周期性的发送一次同时用于指示链路失败和新识别的波束信息的请求信息,能够节省资源开销。其中,第一次请求信息可以是波束失败恢复请求(beam failure recovery request,BFRQ)1,BFRQ1,第二次请求信息可以是BFRQ2。若第二请求之后链路依然恢复失败,则终端中断该链路的传输,使得信号传输效率较低,需要重新发送链路失败恢复请求以恢复该小区的链路。
可选地,该M个第二请求信息中的第s个第二请求信息指示的第s个小区对应的参考信号信息为q个参考信号信息,1≤s≤M,且k为整数。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例,以及下述实施例可以与前述图与图3-图5所示的实施例中描述的内容相同,为避免重复,在此不进行赘述。如发送第二请求信息和或第三请求信息的资源的配置或指示方法可以同步骤302,第一请求信息和或小区信息的最大传输次数可以同步骤302,第s个小区对应的第二请求信息指示多个参考信号时的链路失败恢复方法可以同步骤302。

可选地,该发送M个第二请求信息包括:在第二资源上发送该第s个第二请求信息;其中,该发送第三请求信息包括:在该第二资源上,发送该第三请求信息。

可选地,在发送该第一请求信息之前,该方法还包括:确定该L个小区中至少存在一个小区链路失败;或确定该L个小区中至少存在一个小区链路失败,以及用于恢复该至少一个小区的链路的参考信号。
