Description

通信方法与装置

技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域，并且具体涉及一种通信方法与装置。
背景技术
对于连接态的终端设备，在进行测量时，可能因为对目标参考信号的测量需要进行射频(radio frequency，RF)切换，从而使终端设备无法同时既与服务小区保持通信又进行目标参考信号的测量。针对该问题，测量间隔(measurement gap)机制被提出，服务小区为终端设备配置测量间隔。在测量间隔的期间，不要求终端设备与服务小区之间进行数据收发，终端设备可以进行目标参考信号的测量。
目前，在新无线(new radio，NR)系统中，除了一些特殊场景(例如，“待测SSB在激活BWP(active BWP)内”或者“active BWP即为初始BWP(initial BWP)的同频测量”或者“UE支持per-FR gap并且待测频点和服务频点不在同一FR”)之外，网络侧都会为终端设备配置测量间隔，这使得配置测量间隔的灵活性较差。

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。
除非另有定义，本文所使用的所有的技术和科学术语与属于本申请的技术领域的技术人员通常理解的含义相同。本文中在本申请的说明书中所使用的术语只是为了描述具体的实施例的目的，不是旨在于限制本申请。
为了便于理解本申请实施例，下面描述一些相关的概念。
1、移动性管理
移动性管理是无线移动通信中的重要组成部分。它指的是为了保证网络与用户设备(user equipment，UE)之间的通信链路不因UE的移动而中断所涉及到的相关内容的统称。根据UE的状态大致上可以分为空闲态(RRC_IDLE state)/去激活态(RRC_INACTIVE state)移动性管理和连接态(RRC_CONNECTED state)移动性管理两部分。在空闲态/去激活态下，移动性管理主要指的是小区选择/重选(cell selection/reselection)的过程，在连接态下，移动性管理主要指的是小区切换(handover)。不论是小区选择/重选还是切换，都是基于测量的结果进行的。因此移动性测量是移动性管理的基础。
在新无线(new radio，NR)(或5G)系统中，移动性测量时基于波束(beam)的。下简单介绍一下波束，其后在介绍NR中的移动性测量。
2、波束
波束可以理解为空间资源，可以指具有能量传输指向性的发送或接收预编码向量。
该发送或接收预编码向量能够通过索引信息进行标识，该索引信息可以对应配置终端的资源标识(identity，ID)。例如，该索引信息可以对应配置的信道状态信息参考信号(channel statement information reference signal，CSI-RS)的标识或者资源；也可以是对应配置的同步信号/物理层广播信道块(Synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block，SS/PBCH block)(SS/PBCH block也可以简称为SSB)的标识或者资源；也可以是对应配置的上行探测参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal，SRS)的标识或者资源。
可选地，该索引信息也可以是通过波束承载的信号或信道显示或隐式承载的索引信息。该能量传输指向性可以指，通过该预编码向量对所需发送的信号进行预编码处理，经过该预编码处理的信号具有一定的空间指向性。接收经过该预编码向量进行预编码处理后的信号具有较好的接收功率，如满足接收解调信噪比等。该能量传输指向性也可以指，通过该预编码向量接收来自不同空间位置发送的相同信号具有不同的接收功率。
可选地，同一通信装置(比如终端设备或网络设备)可以有不同的预编码向量，不同的设备也可以有不同的预编码向量，即对应不同的波束。针对通信装置的配置或者能力，一个通信装置在同一时刻可以使用多个不同的预编码向量中的一个或者多个，即同时可以形成一个波束或者多个波束。
3、NR(5G)中的移动性测量
NR中测量的整体流程如下。
大体上，可以根据所涉及到的层次将测量划分为物理层测量(层1测量)和RRC层测量(层3测量)两部分。
在物理层，UE在配置的测量资源上进行指定类型的测量，NR支持的所有测量类型在38.215中定义。
对于基于SSB的测量而言，UE对多个具有相同的SSB index和物理小区标识(physical cell identifier，PCI)的SSB上得到的测量结果进行合并，得到该PCI对应的小区的该SSB index对应的SSB的beam级层1测量结果，并上报给层3。
对于基于CSI-RS的测量而言，UE对多个具有相同的CSI-RS资源标识(resource identifier)和PCI的CSI-RS资源上得到的测量结果进行合并，得到该PCI对应的小区的该CSI-RS资源标识对应的CSI-RS资源的beam层1测量结果，并上报给层3。
上述对于多个测量资源上的测量结果进行合并的过程就是所谓的层1滤波。具体的合并方式是UE实现，标准不会规定。但是UE需要保证测量满足38.133中定义的时延、精度方面的一系列指标。
层3在接收到了层1上报的beam级测量结果后，UE需要对同一个小区的各个beam的层1测量结果进行选择/合并以推导出该小区级的层3测量结果。具体的选择/合并方式在38.331中定义。之后还需要对得到的小区级层3测量结果进行层3滤波。注意只有层3滤波后的测量结果才会用于验证上报触发条件是否满足和最终的上报。
此外，根据配置，UE也可能需要上报beam级的层3测量结果。此时UE直接对各个beam的层1测量结果进行层3滤波，再在滤波后的测量结果中选择出要上报的测量结果进行上报。具体选择的方式在38.331中定义。
38.300要求UE至少应该在有新的小区级测量结果产生的时候对上报触发条件进行验 证。当上报触发条件满足时，UE需要向网络发送测量报告。
4、测量配置
在测量配置阶段，网络将测量所需的信息通过信令发送给UE。
在连接态下，网络侧发送的信令可以是RRC重配置信令(RRC Reconfiguration)，在该信令的测量配置(measConfig)信元中包含了发给UE的测量配置信息。38.331要求网络侧应该确保：
1)测量配置中会为每一个服务频率包含对应的测量对象。
2)仅当相应的测量对象、上报配置和测量量已经配置给UE的情况下，网络侧才会配置一个测量标识。
在接收到信令后，UE对自己的测量配置数据库和测量报告列表相应地进行修改，并将修改成功的消息(RRC Reconfiguration complete)告知网络。
在测量配置信息中，包括了如下方面的配置信息。
测量对象(measurement object，MO)。LTE中一个测量对象对应一个频点。在测量对象配置中，网络将告知UE对于该频点进行测量需要知道的必要信息，包括该频点上测量资源的配置情况，该频点上的小区列表等等。在NR中，对于同频测量和异频测量，测量对象指示要测的参考信号的频域/时域位置和子载波间隔，对于异系统的E-UTRA测量，测量对象对应一个E-UTRA频点。
上报配置(reporting configuration)。在上报配置中，网络告知UE具体要执行的测量的细节，包括测量的类型，上报触发的方式，以及上报的格式等等。
测量标识(measurement identity)。一个测量标识是一个测量对象和一个上报配置的结合。两者结合在一起就确定了对于一个测量对象的测量的各种细节。任一个测量对象/上报配置可以关联到任何一个/多个/0个与之拥有相同RAT类型的报告配置/测量对象上。
测量量配置(quantity configuration)。测量量配置指的是对于层3滤波系数的配置。在触发测量量用于验证上报触发条件是否满足之前，以及上报测量量最终上报之前，都需要首先进行层3滤波。而层3滤波的系数就是通过测量量配置告知UE的。
测量间隔(measurement gap)配置。如果同频/异频/异系统测量涉及切换中心频率，则和数据传输不能同时进行，需要网络为其配置测量间隔。
5、测量间隔(measurement gap)
对于连接态的UE，在进行测量时，可能因为对目标参考信号的测量需要进行射频(RF)切换而使得测量和服务小区的数据收发无法同时进行。因此网络会在测量配置(measConfig)中给UE配置测量间隔(measurement gap)。在测量间隔期间，不要求UE和服务小区之间进行数据收发，UE可以进行测量。
测量间隔配置(measGapConfig)是在测量配置(measConfig)中携带的。
作为示例，在NR中，测量间隔配置(measGapConfig)可以包括gap类型、gap偏差(gapOffset)、gap长度(mgl)(单位为毫秒(ms))、gap重复周期(mgrp)(单位为ms)，以及gap定时提前(measurement gap timing advance，mgta)(单位为ms)等。
其中，gap类型可以包括gapUE、gapFR1和gapFR2。其中，gapUE表示每个UE(per UE)的gap，gapFR1表示该gap只适用于FR1，gapFR2表示该gap只适用于FR2。
6、测量间隔样式
1)UE级测量间隔(per-UE gap)表示所有UE需要支持的测量间隔。所谓UE级测量间隔，指的是同时适用于FR1和FR2的测量间隔。
2)在NR中，提出根据UE的能力，还可以支持频率范围级测量间隔(per-FR gap)。
在per-UE gap中，不要求UE进行传输；不要求UE接收除了用于测量的参考信号之外的来自于任何服务小区的数据；不要求UE将频点切换至任何服务小区的频点上。
在per-FR gap中，对FR1和FR2频段分别定义了一组测量间隔样式，每一组测量间隔样式将只适用于对应的频段。
在per-FR gap中，不要求UE向相应频段的小区进行传输；不要求UE接收相应频段上除了用于测量的参考信号之外的来自于任何服务小区的数据；不要求UE将频点切换至相应频段上任何服务小区的频点上。
7、带宽部分(bandwidth part，BWP)
BWP是NR标准中提出的新概念。BWP表示网络侧配置给UE的一段连续的带宽资源。BWP可实现网络侧和UE侧灵活地传输带宽配置。
BWP的应用场景可以包括如下3个场景。
场景1：应用于小带宽能力UE接入大带宽网络。
场景2：UE在大小BWP间进行切换，达到省电效果。
场景3：不同BWP，配置不同Numerology，承载不同业务。
可以为不同UE配置不同的BWP，这可称为BWP的UE级概念。
UE不需要知道网络侧的传输带宽，只需要支持配置给UE的BWP带宽信息。
BWP的分类如下。
1)初始BWP(Initial BWP)：UE初始接入阶段配置的BWP。
初始接入时的信号和信道在Initial BWP内传输。
2)专有BWP(Dedicated BWP)：UE在RRC连接态配置的BWP。
1个UE最多可以配置4个Dedicated BWP。
3)激活BWP(Active BWP)：UE在RRC连接态某一时刻激活的BWP，是Dedicated BWP中的1个。
R15协议中，UE在RRC连接态，某一时刻只能有1个Active BWP。
4)默认BWP(Default BWP)：UE在RRC连接态时，当其BWP去激活定时器(BWP inactivity timer)超时后，UE回到默认的BWP上。
默认BWP也是Dedicated BWP中的1个。网络通过RRC信令指示UE哪一个配置的Dedicated BWP作为Default BWP。
目前，在NR中，除了协议规定的几种终端设备不需要测量间隔的特殊场景之外，网络侧都会为终端设备配置测量间隔，这使得配置测量间隔的灵活性较差。
针对上述问题，本申请提出一种通信方法与装置，可以有效提高测量间隔配置的灵活性。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统，例如，第五代(5th generation，5G)系统、新无线(new radio，NR)、机器与机器通信(machine to machine，M2M)系统、或者未来演进的其它通信系统等，本申请实施例对此并不限定。

终端设备是否向网络设备发送测量间隔需求信息，可以通过下列几种方式实现。
实现方式一。

实现方式一可以适用于网络设备预先为终端设备配置测量间隔的场景，例如，步骤S310中的测量配置信息中携带测量间隔配置信息。实现方式一也可以适用于网络设备未预先为终端设备配置测量间隔的场景，例如，步骤S310中的测量配置信息中不携带测量 间隔配置信息。
实现方式二。
若测量任务不需要测量间隔，终端设备向网络设备发送第一测量间隔需求信息，第一测量间隔需求信息用于去激活或释放已配置的测量间隔配置信息；若测量任务需要测量间隔，终端设备不向网络设备发送测量间隔需求信息。

实现方式三可以适用于网络设备预先为终端设备配置测量间隔的场景，例如，步骤S310中的测量配置信息中携带测量间隔配置信息。实现方式三也可以适用于网络设备未预先为终端设备配置测量间隔的场景，例如，步骤S310中的测量配置信息中不携带测量间隔配置信息。

或者，网络设备在接收第二测量间隔需求信息之后，可以根据第二测量间隔需求信息中携带的测量间隔参数，重新生成相应的测量间隔配置信息，并基于新的测量间隔配置信 息与终端设备进行通信。
在本实施例中，通过终端设备向网络设备发送携带测量间隔参数的测量间隔需求信息，直接使得该测量间隔参数对应的测量间隔配置信息激活或生效，在这个过程中，无需网络设备再次下发RRC信令进行配置，可以节省信令开销，从而可以减小传输时延。

可选地，在一些实施例中，步骤S310中网络设备下发的测量配置信息中携带测量间隔配置信息(记为第一测量间隔配置信息)，且该第一测量间隔配置信息默认不生效。
在本实施例中，终端设备可以采用上述实现方式一或实现方式三。如果终端设备向网络设备发送第一测量间隔需求信息，该第一测量间隔需求信息用于去激活或失效该第一测量间隔需求信息；如果终端设备向网络设备发送第二测量间隔需求信息，该第二测量间隔需求信息用于激活或生效该第一测量间隔需求信息。
可选地，在一些实施例中，步骤S310中网络设备下发的测量配置信息中不携带测量间隔配置信息。
在本实施例中，终端设备可以采用上述实现方式三。其中，如果终端设备向网络设备发送第二测量间隔需求信息，第二测量间隔需求信息中包括测量间隔参数，第二测量间隔需求信息用于生效测量间隔参数对应的测量间隔配置信息。
本申请中涉及的释放与去激活具有不同含义。释放测量间隔配置信息，表示，该测量间隔配置信息被彻底删除，如果下次需要使用，需要重新配置。去激活测量间隔配置信息，表示，在一定时间内，使得该测量间隔配置信息失效，但并不释放这些配置信息，如果后续，这些配置信息被激活，则这些配置信息重新生效，可以继续使用。
本申请中涉及的激活与生效，含义可以认为是相同，总之就是使得测量间隔配置信息有效。当然，如果有必要区分这两种动作，也是可以的。例如，如果一个配置信息失效之后重新有效，这个过程可以称为激活。
可选地，在上述一些实施例中，如果终端设备向网络设备发送第一测量间隔需求信息，该第一测量间隔需求信息用于去激活已配置的测量间隔需求信息；如果终端设备向网络设备发送第二测量间隔需求信息，该第二测量间隔需求信息用于激活第二测量间隔需求信息对应的测量间隔需求信息。
可选地，在上述一些实施例中，如果终端设备向网络设备发送第一测量间隔需求信息，该第一测量间隔需求信息用于释放已配置的测量间隔需求信息；如果终端设备向网络设备 发送第二测量间隔需求信息，该第二测量间隔需求信息用于生效第二测量间隔需求信息对应的测量间隔需求信息。
可选地，在一些实施例中，终端设备向网络设备发送的测量间隔需求信息可以为至少1比特的信息，当这1比特的信息为第一值时，表示不需要测量间隔(即第一测量间隔需求信息)，当这1比特的信息为第二值时，表示需要测量间隔(即第二测量间隔需求信息)。
例如，当这1比特的信息为“0”时，表示不需要测量间隔(即第一测量间隔需求信息)，当这1比特的信息为“1”时，表示需要测量间隔(即第二测量间隔需求信息)。或者，当这1比特的信息为“1”时，表示不需要测量间隔(即第一测量间隔需求信息)，当这1比特的信息为“0”时，表示需要测量间隔(即第二测量间隔需求信息)。
在本申请中，终端设备上报测量间隔需求信息的触发条件有多种。
触发条件一：接收到测量配置信息。
可选地，在一些实施例中，每次接收到网络设备下发的测量配置信息之后，终端设备判断该测量配置信息指示的测量任务是否需要测量间隔，根据判断结果，决定是否向网络设备发送测量间隔需求信息。
该测量配置信息可以是网络设备首次下发的测量配置信息。
或者，该测量配置信息还可以是网络设备在下发一次测量配置信息之后再次发送的测量更新配置信息。
应理解，当测量任务发生变化时，测量任务对测量间隔的需求可能会发生变化，在该需求发生变化时，通过向网络设备发送测量间隔需求信息，有助于获得满足测量需求的测量间隔配置信息。
应理解，网络设备不必在每次为终端设备配置测量配置信息时都携带测量间隔配置信息。
如果已经配置过测量间隔配置信息，在后续的测量更新配置信息中，可以不携带测量间隔配置信息，除非需要更新测量间隔时才携带。如果之前未配置过测量间隔配置信息，在后续的测量更新配置信息中，可以携带测量间隔配置信息，也可以不携带测量间隔配置信息。包括下列三种情况。
情况一：网络设备预先已为终端设备配置过测量间隔配置信息，测量更新配置信息中未携带测量间隔配置信息，
这种情况下，随着网络设备向终端设备发送该测量更新配置信息，预先配置的测量间隔配置信息默认激活或生效。换句话说，只要预先配置的测量间隔配置信息未被释放，无论在发送该测量更新配置信息之前，预先配置的测量间隔配置信息是什么状态(例如，去激活、激活或默认生效)，在发送该测量更新配置信息之后，该预先配置的测量间隔配置信息默认激活。
终端设备在接收到测量更新配置信息后，判断测量更新配置信息中指示的测量任务是否需要测量间隔，根据判断结果以及该预先配置的测量间隔配置信息，确定是否向网络设备发送测量间隔需求信息。
情况二：测量更新配置信息中携带了测量间隔配置信息。
这种情况下，无论网络设备是否预先为终端设备配置过测量间隔配置信息，在终端设备接收到测量更新配置信息后，判断该测量更新配置信息中指示的测量任务是否需要测量 间隔，根据判断结果以及该测量更新配置信息中携带的测量间隔配置信息，确定是否向网络设备发送。
情况三：网络设备未预先为终端设备配置过测量间隔配置信息，测量更新配置信息中也未携带测量间隔配置信息。
这种情况下，在终端设备接收到测量更新配置信息后，在判断测量任务需要测量间隔的情况下，向网络设备发送第二测量间隔需求信息，第二测量配置间隔需求信息中包括测量间隔参数。
触发条件二：服务小区(SCell)配置发生变化。
可选地，在一些实施例中，终端设备在服务小区配置发生变化时，在所述配置完成消息中携带所述第一测量间隔需求信息或所述第二测量间隔需求信息。
例如，终端设备从网络设备接收RRC重配置消息，该RRC重配置消息中携带指示服务小区配置发生变化的信息。
服务小区配置发生变化包括下列任一种或多种：添加服务小区(SCell addition)、删除服务小区(SCell removal)、修改服务小区配置。
应理解，在服务小区配置发生变化的情况下，会出现如下情形：在服务小区配置发生变化之前，终端设备执行测量任务不需要测量间隔(或需要测量间隔)，在服务小区配置发生变化之后，终端设备执行测量任务需要测量间隔(或不需要测量间隔)。
因此，终端设备在服务小区配置发生变化时，判断测量任务是否需要测量间隔，并根据判断结果可以向网络设备上报测量间隔需求信息，从而可以有效保证测量配置信息符合测量需求。
在本申请中，测量间隔配置状态基于终端设备上报的测量间隔需求信息而确定，这样一方面可以提高测量间隔配置的灵活性，另一方面可以避免终端设备与服务小区之间不必要的通信中断，从而可以提高通信效率。同时，终端设备上报的测量间隔需求信息直接用于，激活或生效，或者，去激活或释放，测量间隔配置信息，从而无需网络设备通过RRC信令再次配置或释放测量间隔，这样可以减少信令开销。
还需要说明的是，对于协议规定的终端设备不需要测量间隔的特殊场景，网络设备可以不为终端设备配置测量间隔。
作为示例，协议规定的几种特殊场景如下。
1)对于基于SSB的异频(inter-frequency)测量，终端设备支持per-FR gap，并且所有服务小区配置的BWP频点都和MO中的频点不在同一FR。
2)对于基于SSB的同频(intra-frequency)测量，除了初始BWP(initial BWP)以外的任意配置的BWP(configured BWP)都覆盖了待测SSB的频域资源。或者，换一种说法，对于基于SSB的同频(intra-frequency)测量，待测SSB在激活BWP(active BWP中)，或active BWP即为initial BWP的同频测量。
也就是说，在上述特殊场景下，网络设备下发的测量配置信息中不携带测量间隔配置信息。
本申请还提供一种通信方法。该通信方法包括如下步骤。
步骤1)，网络设备向终端设备发送第一测量配置信息，该第一测量配置信息指示测量任务。
例如，网络设备向终端设备发送第一RRC重配置(RRCReconfiguration)消息，该第一RRC重配置消息中包括第一测量配置(measConfig)信息。
第一测量配置(measConfig)信息中可以携带测量间隔配置(measGapConfig)信息。
或者，第一测量配置信息中也可以不携带测量间隔配置信息。
步骤2)，终端设备向网络设备发送用于指示需要测量间隔的测量间隔需求信息，该测量间隔需求信息中还包括测量间隔参数。
例如，终端设备在确定测量任务需要测量间隔的情况下，向网络设备发送该测量间隔需求信息。
例如，终端设备向网络设备发送RRC重配置完成消息，RRC重配置完成消息中携带该测量间隔需求信息。
步骤3)，网络设备向终端设备发送第二测量配置信息，该第二测量配置信息包括该测量间隔参数对应的测量间隔配置信息。
例如，网络设备向终端设备发送第二RRC重配置消息，该第二RRC重配置消息中包括该第二测量配置信息。
可以理解为，在步骤3)中，网络设备根据终端设备上报的测量间隔参数，向终端设备配置新的测量间隔配置信息。
在本实施例中，终端设备接收到第二测量配置信息后，生效该测量间隔参数对应的测量间隔配置信息。
作为示例，终端设备原本具有FR1测量间隔配置信息，例如，通过第一测量配置信息获取FR1测量间隔配置信息。通过第二测量配置信息又接收一个FR1测量间隔配置信息。这种情形下，终端设备可以将原本具有的FR1测量间隔配置信息释放，后续新配置的FR1测量间隔配置信息。
作为另一个示例，终端设备原本具有FR2测量间隔配置信息，例如，通过第一测量配置信息获取FR2测量间隔配置信息。通过第二测量配置信息接收一个FR1测量间隔配置信息。这种情形下，终端设备可以不释放原本具有的FR2测量间隔配置信息。

可选地，终端设备在其他上行信令中发送测量间隔需求信息。

可选地，在一些实施例中，在步骤S420中，网络设备根据终端设备的测量间隔能力，向终端设备发送MAC-CE。
其中，在根据终端设备的测量间隔能力确定终端设备不需要测量间隔的情况下，向终端设备发送指示去激活已配置的测量间隔需求信息的MAC-CE；在根据终端设备的测量间隔能力确定终端设备需要测量间隔的情况下，向终端设备发送指示激活已配置的测量间隔需求信息的MAC-CE。
可选地，终端设备向网络设备上报测量间隔能力。
