假设多个载波为载波1、载波2与载波3，这3个载波均具有空域发送滤波1、空域发送滤波2与空域发送滤波3对应的3个导频。假设，空域发送滤波1所对应的3个导频的平均测量值最优，则这3个载波的测量上报结果中包括载波1、载波2与载波3的空域 发送滤波1对应的导频的测量结果。

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，下文先介绍一些相关概念。
1、波束
波束在NR协议中的体现可以是空域滤波器(spatial domain filter)，或者称空间滤波器(spatial filter)或空间参数(spatial parameter)。用于发送信号的波束可以称为发送波束(transmission beam，Tx beam)，可以称为空域发送滤波器(spatial domain transmission filter)或空间发射参数(spatial transmission parameter)；用于接收信号的波束可以称为接收波束(reception beam，Rx beam)，可以称为空域接收滤波器(spatial domain receive filter)或空间接收参数(spatial RX parameter)。
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。
此外，波束可以是宽波束，或者窄波束，或者其它类型波束。形成波束的技术可以是波束赋形技术或者其它技术。波束赋形技术具体可以为数字波束赋形技术、模拟波束赋形技术或者混合数字/模拟波束赋形技术等。
波束一般和资源对应，例如进行波束测量时，网络设备通过不同的资源来测量不同的波束，终端设备反馈测得的资源质量，网络设备就知道对应的波束的质量。在数据传输时，波束信息也是通过其对应的资源来进行指示的。例如网络设备通过下行控制信息(downlink control information，DCI)中的传输配置指示(transmission configuration indication，TCI)资源，来指示终端设备物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel，PDSCH)波束的信息。
可选地，具有相同或者类似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。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。
在本申请实施例中，若未做出特别说明，波束是指网络设备的发送波束。
在波束测量中，网络设备的每一个波束对应一个资源，因此可以资源的索引来唯一标识该资源对应的波束。
形成波束的技术可以是波束成型技术(beamforming)或者其他技术手段。波束成型技术可以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。波束成型技术可以具体为数字波束成型技术，模拟波束成型技术，混合数字/模拟波束成型技术。模拟波束成型可以通过移相器实现。一个射频链路(radio frequency chain，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，一个射频链路在同一时刻只能打出一个模拟波束。
射频链路也可以称为射频通道。即一个射频通道在同一时刻只能打出一个波束。
2、波束资源
在波束测量中，可以通过资源的索引来唯一标识该资源对应的波束。
资源可以是上行信号资源，也可以是下行信号资源。
上行信号包括但不限于：探测参考信号(sounding reference signal，SRS)与解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal，DMRS)。
下行信号包括但不限于：信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal，CSI-RS)、小区专用参考信号(cell specific reference signal，CS-RS)、UE专用 参考信号(user equipment specific reference signal，US-RS)、解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal，DMRS)以及同步信号/物理广播信道块(synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block，SS/PBCH block)。其中，SS/PBCH block可以简称为同步信号块(synchronization signal block，SSB)。
资源可以通过无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)信令配置。
在配置结构上，一个资源是一个数据结构，包括其对应的上行/下行信号的相关参数，例如上行/下行信号的类型，承载上行/下行信号的资源粒，上行/下行信号的发送时间和周期，发送上行/下行信号所采用的端口数等。
每一个上行/下行信号的资源具有唯一的索引，以标识该上行/下行信号的资源。可以理解的是，资源的索引也可以称为资源的标识，本申请实施例对此不作任何限制。
3、波束管理
网络设备可以生成不同方向的波束，具体采用什么方向的波束与终端设备进行通信，通过波束管理来确定。
波束管理主要包括如下步骤。
步骤一，网络设备配置波束资源。
作为示例，网络设备配置波束资源包括：网络设备生成测量配置信息(即波束测量配置信息)，并向终端设备发送测量配置信息。
测量配置信息主要包括两部分：资源配置信息和上报配置信息。
资源配置信息是指测量资源相关的信息。资源配置信息在协议里可以通过三级结构(资源配置(resourceConfig)-资源集(resourceSet)-资源(resource))进行配置。
上报配置信息是指测量结果上报相关的信息。上报配置信息在协议里可以通过上报配置(ReportConfig)进行配置。
网络设备可以通过无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)信令向终端发送测量配置信息。
步骤二，终端设备测量波束通信质量。
网络设备在资源配置信息所配置的资源对应的资源粒上发送下行信号(即波束)。终端设备在资源配置信息所配置的资源对应的资源粒上接收下行信号，并根据测量配置信息对下行信号进行测量，获得下行信号的质量，即波束的通信质量。
步骤三，终端设备选择最佳的波束以及终端设备向网络设备上报最佳波束。
作为示例，终端设备向网络设备发送波束测量报告，用于指示最佳波束。波束测量报告可以包括一个或多个资源的索引与质量等。
波束测量报告可以承载在物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel，PUCCH)或物理上行共享信道中(physical uplink shared channel，PUSCH)。
4、波束管理资源
波束管理资源指用于波束管理的资源，又可以体现为用于计算和测量波束质量的资源。波束质量包括层一接收参考信号功率(layer 1 reference signal received power,L1-RSRP)，层一接收参考信号质量(layer 1 reference signal received quality,L1-RSRQ)等。具体的，波束管理资源可以包括同步信号，广播信道，下行信道测量参考信号，跟踪信号，下行控制信道解调参考信号，下行共享信道解调参考信号，上行探测参考信号，上 行随机接入信号等。
5、波束指示信息
波束指示信息用于指示传输所使用的波束，包括发送波束和/或接收波束。包括波束编号、波束管理资源编号，上行信号资源号，下行信号资源号、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索引、波束对应的下行信号的索引、波束对应的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、波束对应的权重矩阵、波束对应的权重向量、波束对应的接收权重、波束对应的发送权重的索引、波束对应的权重矩阵的索引、波束对应的权重向量的索引、波束对应的接收权重的索引、波束对应的接收码本、波束对应的发送码本、波束对应的接收码本的索引、波束对应的发送码本的索引中的至少一种，下行信号包括同步信号、广播信道、广播信号解调信号、信道状态信息下行信号(channel state information reference signal，CSI-RS)、小区专用参考信号(cell specific reference signal，CS-RS)、UE专用参考信号(user equipment specific reference signal，US-RS)、下行控制信道解调参考信号，下行数据信道解调参考信号，下行相位噪声跟踪信号中任意一种。上行信号包括中上行随机接入序列，上行探测参考信号，上行控制信道解调参考信号，上行数据信道解调参考信号，上行相位噪声跟踪信号任意一种。可选的，网络设备还可以为频率资源组关联的波束中具有准同位(quasi-co-location，QCL)(下文将介绍)关系的波束分配QCL标示符。波束也可以称为空域传输滤波器，发射波束也可以称为空域发射滤波器，接收波束也可以称为空域接收滤波器。波束指示信息还可以体现为传输配置编号(transmission configuration index，TCI)，TCI中可以包括多种参数，例如，小区编号，带宽部分编号，参考信号标识，同步信号块标识，QCL类型等。
6、波束质量
本申请不限制衡量波束质量的度量指标。
衡量波束质量的度量指标包括但不限于：
参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power，RSRP)；
参考信号接收质量(reference signal received quality，RSRQ)；
参考信号接收强度指示(received signal strength indicator，RSSI)；
信号干扰噪声比(signal to interference and noise ratio，SINR)；
块误码率(block error rate，BLER)；
信号质量指示(channel quality indicator，CQI)。
7、准同位(quasi-co-location，QCL)
同位关系用于表示多个资源之间具有一个或多个相同或者相类似的通信特征，对于具有同位关系的多个资源，可以采用相同或者类似的通信配置。例如，如果两个天线端口具有同位关系，那么一个端口传送一个符号的信道大尺度特性可以从另一个端口传送一个符号的信道大尺度特性推断出来。大尺度特性可以包括：延迟扩展，平均延迟，多普勒扩展，多普勒频移，平均增益，接收参数，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。
8、空域准同位(spatial QCL)
空域准同位可以认为是QCL的一种类型。对于spatial有两个角度可以理解：从发送端或者从接收端。从发送端来看，如果说两个天线端口是空域准同位的，那么是指这两个天线端口的对应的波束方向在空间上是一致的。从接收端来看，如果说两个天线端口是空域准同位的，那么是指接收端能够在相同的波束方向上接收到这两个天线端口发送的信号。
9、准同位假设(QCL assumption)
准同位假设是指假设两个端口之间是否具有QCL关系。准同位假设的配置和指示可以用来帮助接收端进行信号的接收和解调。例如接收端能确认A端口和B端口具有QCL关系，即可以将A端口上测得的信号的大尺度参数用于B端口上的信号测量和解调。
10、同时接收
同时接收包括，接收端(例如终端设备)在一个接收参数上接收到多个信号，也包括在多个可同时使用的接收参数上收到多个信号。
11、天线面板(panel)
无线通信的信号需要由天线进行接收和发送，多个天线单元(antenna element)可以集成在一个面板(panel)上，这个面板可以称为天线面板。天线面板又可表示为天线阵列(antenna array)或者天线子阵列(antenna subarray)。一个天线面板可以包括一个或多个天线阵列/子阵列。一个天线面板可以有一个或多个晶振(oscillator)控制。
在本申请实施例中，终端设备可以包括多个天线面板，每个天线面板包括一个或者多个波束。网络设备也可以包括多个天线面板，每个天线面板包括一个或者多个波束。
天线单元由射频链路驱动。一个射频链路可以驱动一个或多个天线单元。一个天线面板可以由一个射频链路驱动，也可以由多个射频链路驱动。在本申请中，天线面板也可以替换为射频链路，或者驱动一个天线面板的多个射频链路，或者由一个晶振控制的一个或多个射频链路。
射频链路也可以称为射频通道。
例如，射频通道可以包括接收通道和/或发送通道。
射频链路或射频通道，也可以称为接收机支路(receiver branch)。
作为5G标准的第一个版本，Release 15可以支持两种频率范围(frequency range，FR)：频率范围450MHz-6000MHz(可以称为低频，简称FR1，)以及频率范围24250MHz-52600MHz(可以称为高频，简称FR2)。针对FR1和FR2，网络设备使用不同的射频通道。例如，针对FR2，使用高频天线阵列，高频天线阵列规模较大，输出的模拟波束较窄；针对FR1，使用低频天线阵列，低频天线阵列规模较小，输出的模拟波束较宽。
5G移动通信系统可以通过多个载波进行通信，例如，在频段24250MHz-52600MHz(即高频，也可以称为FR2)范围内，网络设备可以通过多个载波与终端设备进行通信。如图1所示，网络设备可以采用载波1、载波2和载波3与终端设备进行载波聚合(Carrier aggregation，CA)的通信，其中，载波1属于频带1，频带1位于FR1，载波2属于频带2，载波3属于频带3，频带2与频带3位于FR2。
在多个载波共享一个射频通道的情况下，现有的波束管理方法可能导致网络设备无法 同时采用多个载波与终端设备进行通信，原因如下。
1)一个射频通道同一时刻只能对应一个空域发送滤波。当多个载波共享一个射频通道，这个射频通道同时发出的多个载波的信号对应同一个空域发送滤波。
2)一个射频通道对应多个天线阵子，天线阵子间距会引入传输时延，该传输时延在频域体现为相位差，而且，相同的传输时延对于不同的频点体现为不同的相位差。因此，相同的传输时延对于不同载波体现为不同的相位差，这导致同一个空域发送滤波在不同载波(即不同频点)呈现不同的波束增益，这种现象称为波束倾斜。
由1)与2)可知，当多个载波共享一个射频通道，该射频通道同时发出的对应同一个空域发送滤波的多个载波的波束的波束增益不同。
3)在多个载波共享一个射频通道的情况下，现有波束管理方法针对多个载波中的每个载波进行独立波束管理。由于同一个空域发送滤波在不同载波呈现不同的波束增益，因此，传统方案中终端设备针对不同载波上报的波束的空域发送滤波可能不同。
作为示例，假设终端设备对载波1、载波2与载波3的波束测量结果如表1所示。假设终端设备将RSRP最大的波束作为最佳波束向网络设备上报。在表1中，对于载波1，终端设备向网络设备上报的是空域发送滤波3对应的波束，对于载波2，终端设备向网络设备上报的是空域发送滤波1对应的波束，对于载波3，终端设备向网络设备上报的是空域发送滤波2对应的波束。
表1
  空域发送滤波1 空域发送滤波2 空域发送滤波3
载波1 RSRP＝-94 RSRP＝-90 RSRP＝-85
载波2 RSRP＝-80 RSRP＝-92 RSRP＝-96
载波3 RSRP＝-96 RSRP＝-82 RSRP＝-90
假设载波1、载波2与载波3都属于FR2，载波1、载波2与载波3共享一个射频通道。前文已描述，一个射频通道同一时刻只能对应一组空域发送滤波。因此，针对表1所示的示例中终端设备上报的载波1、载波2与载波3的测量上报结果，网络设备需要按照先后顺序在各个载波的最佳波束上与终端设备进行通信，因此无法同时使用载波1、载波2与载波3与终端设备进行通信。
因此，在多个载波共享一个射频通道的情况下，现有的波束管理方案可能无法使网络设备同时使用多个载波为用户服务，从而导致用户容量受限，通信效率降低。
针对上述问题，本申请提出一种测量上报的方法与装置，在多个载波共享一个射频通道的情况下，可以使网络设备同时使用多个载波为用户服务，从而增加用户容量，提高通信效率。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于5G的新无线(New Radio，NR)通信系统，或者其他未来演进的基于波束进行通信的通信系统。
本申请实施例可以适用于载波聚合场景。例如，本申请实施例的一个应用场景如图1所示的载波聚合。
本申请实施例中涉及的终端设备包括具有无线通信功能的手持式设备、车载式设备、可穿戴设备或计算设备。作为示例，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，终端设备可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑或带无线收发功能的电脑。终端设备还可以是虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)终端设备、增强现实(augmented reality，AR)终端设备、工业控制中的无线终端、无人驾驶中的无线终端、远程医疗中的无线终端、智能电网中的无线终端、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。终端设备可以是5G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公用陆地移动通信网络(public land mobile network，PLMN)中的终端设备等。
本申请实施例中涉及的网络设备可以用于与一个或多个终端设备进行通信，也可以用于与一个或多个具有部分终端功能的基站进行通信(比如宏基站与微基站，如接入点，之间的通信)。网络设备可以称为基站。基站可能有多种形式，比如宏基站、微基站、中继站和接入点等。网络设备可以是5G系统中的基站，或者未来演进的PLMN中的基站等。5G NR中的基站还可以称为发送接收点(transmission reception point，TRP)或下一代节点B(next generation node B，gNB)。
本申请实施例中的导频表示波束，本申请实施例中的导频资源表示波束对应的资源。可以理解到，导频与波束是两种可相互替换的表达方式。
本文中提及的“空域发送滤波”可以替换为“下行空域传输滤波器(downlink spatial domain transmission filter)”，或者，也可以替换为如下任一种描述：“空域滤波”、“模拟波束”与“模拟加权向量”。
图2为本申请实施例的测量上报的方法的示意性流程图。该方法包括如下步骤。
S210，网络设备向终端设备发送多个载波的导频测量配置信息，该多个载波的导频测量配置信息指示该多个载波的导频关联关系，该多个载波的导频关联关系表示该多个载波的导频的空域发送滤波相同。
如前文描述，本文中提及的“空域发送滤波”可以替换为如下任一种描述“下行空域传输滤波器”、“空域滤波”、“模拟波束”或“模拟加权向量”。例如，本申请实施例中的“该多个载波的导频关联关系表示该多个载波的导频的空域发送滤波相同”可替换为“该多个载波的导频关联关系表示该多个载波的导频的模拟加权向量相同”。
多个载波的导频关联关系表示该多个载波的导频的空域发送滤波相同，换言之，多个载波的导频关联关系表示该多个载波均具有的同一个空域发送滤波所对应的多个导频的关联关系。
例如，多个载波为载波1、载波2与载波3，其中，载波1、载波2与载波3均具有第一空域发送滤波，多个载波的导频关联关系可以包括载波1的第一空域发送滤波对应的导频、载波2的第一空域发送滤波对应的导频以及载波3的第一空域发送滤波对应的导频之间的关联关系。
多个载波的导频关联关系可以有多种实现方式，下文将描述。
该多个载波的导频测量配置信息指示该多个载波的导频关联关系，表示，该多个载波的导频测量配置信息中包括可以指示该多个载波的导频关联关系的信息。
此外，多个载波的导频测量配置信息中还可以包括多个载波的导频测量相关配置信息，和/或导频上报相关配置信息。导频测量相关配置信息可以包括指示用于测量该导频 的资源的信息等。导频上报相关配置信息可以包括指示用于上报该导频的测量结果的资源的信息。
可选地，网络设备可以针对多个载波联合配置导频测量配置信息。
例如，针对多个载波，网络设备配置一份导频测量配置信息，该导频测量配置信息中包括多个载波中每个载波的导频测量配置信息。
可选地，网络设备可以针对多个载波中的每个载波单独配置导频测量配置信息。
例如，针对多个载波中的每个载波，网络设备单独配置一份导频测量配置信息。
S220，终端设备根据该多个载波的导频测量配置信息进行测量，获得该多个载波的测量上报结果。
例如，网络设备根据多个载波的导频测量配置信息发送多个载波的导频，其中，每个载波可以具有一个或多个导频；终端设备根据多个载波的导频测量配置信息接收并测量多个载波的导频，根据多个载波的导频测量结果获得多个载波的测量上报结果。
导频的测量结果可以通过如下任一种指标来表征：RSRP、RSRQ、RSSI、SNR、SINR、BLER、CQI。
S230，终端设备向网络设备发送该多个载波的测量上报结果。
应理解，因为该多个载波的导频测量配置信息指示了该多个载波的导频关联关系，终端设备根据接收的该多个载波的导频测量配置信息可以获得该多个载波的导频关联关系，从而可以针对多个载波上报对应于一个或多个相同空域发送滤波的导频测量结果。网络设备接收到多个载波的测量上报结果后，可以基于多个载波的相同空域发送滤波的导频与终端设备进行通信。因此，在多个载波共享一个射频通道的情况下，本申请提供的方案可以实现网络设备同时使用多个载波与终端设备进行通信。
因此，本申请提供的方案，通过向终端设备配置多个载波的导频关联关系，以便于终端设备可以针对多个载波上报对应于一个或多个相同空域发送滤波的导频测量结果，从而在多个载波共享同一个射频通道的情况下，可以实现网络设备同时使用多个载波与终端设备进行通信，即实现载波聚合的通信，因此，可以提高通信效率。
本申请实施例中的载波可以为成员载波(component carrier，CC)，或者，也可以为带宽部分(bandwidth part，BWP)。
例如，多个载波为多个CC，或者多个载波为多个BWP。
多个载波可以属于相同的频段，也可以属于不同的频段。例如，该多个载波属于FR2中的同一个频段，或者，属于FR2中的不同频段。

应理解，表3只呈现出多个载波的导频测量配置信息中的部分信息，多个载波的导频测量配置信息还可以包括其他必要的配置信息。
应理解，在本实施例中，通过导频的上报资源来指示多个载波的导频关联关系，即通过复用导频测量配置信息中本来具有的信息来指示多个载波的导频关联关系，可以提高信令利用率，从而可以节省信令开销。

可选地，该多个载波的导频关联关系可以包括上述实现方式一、实现方式二、实现方式三与实现方式四中的任一种或多种。
除了上述实现方式一、实现方式二、实现方式三与实现方式四之外，多个载波的导频关联关系还可以具有其它可行的实现方式。
应理解，因为多个载波的导频测量配置信息指示了该多个载波的导频关联关系，终端设备根据接收的该多个载波的导频测量配置信息可以获得该多个载波的导频关联关系，从而可以针对多个载波上报对应于一个或多个相同空域发送滤波的导频测量结果。
下文将描述终端设备上报多个载波的测量上报结果的策略。
可选地，在图2所示实施例中，多个载波的测量上报结果中包括该多个载波的测量上报结果中包括对应于相同空域发送滤波的多个导频的测量结果，其中，该多个导频分别为该多个载波的导频。
该多个导频分别为该多个载波的导频，指的是，该多个导频包括该多个载波各自包括的一个导频。
假设多个载波为3个载波，这3个载波的测量上报结果中包括3个载波各自的一个导频的测量结果，即包括3个导频的测量结果，其中，这3个导频对应于相同的空域发送滤波。
导频的测量结果可以包括导频测量值。导频测量值可以由如下任一种指标来表征：RSRP、RSRQ、RSSI、SNR、SINR、BLER、CQI。导频的测量结果还可以包括导频标识。
以表1为例，多个载波为表1中所示的载波1、载波2与载波3。终端设备向网络设备上报载波1、载波2与载波3的空域发送滤波1的导频的RSRP。或者，终端设备向网络设备上报载波1、载波2与载波3的空域发送滤波2的导频的RSRP。或者，终端设备向网络设备上报载波1、载波2与载波3的空域发送滤波3的导频的RSRP。
通过向终端设备配置多个载波的导频关联关系，可以使得终端设备针对多个载波上报对应于相同空域发送滤波的导频的测量结果，从而在多个载波共享同一个射频通道的情况下，可以实现网络设备同时使用多个载波与终端设备进行通信，即实现载波聚合的通信，因此，可以提高通信效率。
可选地，多个载波的测量上报结果中可以包括多个载波的一个或多个相同空域发送滤波对应的导频的测量结果。
还以表1为例，终端设备向网络设备上报载波1、载波2与载波3的空域发送滤波1与空域发送滤波2的导频的RSRP。或者，终端设备向网络设备上报载波1、载波2与载波3的空域发送滤波1与空域发送滤波3的导频的RSRP。或者，终端设备向网络设备上报载波1、载波2与载波3的空域发送滤波2与空域发送滤波3的导频的RSRP。或者，终端设备向网络设备上报载波1、载波2与载波3的空域发送滤波1、空域发送滤波2与、空域发送滤波3的导频的RSRP。
通过向终端设备配置多个载波的导频关联关系，可以使得终端设备针对多个载波上报对应于一个或多个相同空域发送滤波的导频的测量结果，从而在多个载波共享同一个射频通道的情况下，可以实现网络设备同时使用多个载波与终端设备进行通信，即实现载波聚 合的通信，可以提高通信效率。
可选地，作为第一种策略，该多个载波的测量上报结果中包括对应于相同空域发送滤波的多个导频的测量结果，其中，该多个导频分别为该多个载波的导频，且该多个导频中包括测量值最优的导频。
该多个导频分别为该多个载波的导频，指的是，该多个导频包括该多个载波各自包括的一个导频。
该多个导频中包括测量值最优的导频，指的是，该多个导频中包括在该多个载波的所有导频中测量值最优的导频。
换言之，在上报的各个载波的导频对应于同一空域发送滤波的前提下，选择导频测量结果最优的导频进行上报。
假设多个载波为载波1、载波2与载波3，这3个载波均具有空域发送滤波1、空域发送滤波2与空域发送滤波3对应的3个导频。假设，载波1的空域发送滤波1对应的导频的测量值最优，则这3个载波的测量上报结果中包括载波1、载波2与载波3的空域发送滤波1对应的导频的测量结果。
以表1为例。假设多个载波为表1中所示的载波1、载波2与载波3。从表1可知，在所测量的所有导频中，载波2的空域发送滤波1下的导频的RSRP最大，则多个载波的测量上报结果中包括载波1、载波2与载波3在空域发送滤波1下的导频的测量结果。
从表1还可知，载波3的空域发送滤波2下的导频的RSRP次大。可选地，多个载波的测量上报结果中可以包括载波1、载波2与载波3在空域发送滤波1以及空域发送滤波2下的导频的测量结果。
终端设备采用第一种策略上报多个载波的测量上报结果的操作，还可以表述为，终端设备按载波级的最优前N个导频进行上报，N为正整数。
可选地，作为第二种策略，该多个载波的测量上报结果中包括对应于相同空域发送滤波的多个导频的测量结果，其中，该多个导频分别为该多个载波的导频，其该多个导频所对应的相同空域发送滤波为导频平均测量值最优的空域发送滤波。
该多个导频分别为该多个载波的导频，指的是，该多个导频包括该多个载波各自包括的一个导频。
本文中涉及的导频平均测量值是针对空域发送滤波而言的。多个载波具有的每个空域发送滤波都对应一个导频平均测量值。例如，第一空域发送滤波的导频平均测量值指的是，在多个载波的所有导频中，第一空域发送滤波所对应的多个导频的测量值的平均值。
假设多个载波为载波1、载波2与载波3，这3个载波均具有空域发送滤波1、空域发送滤波2与空域发送滤波3对应的3个导频。假设，空域发送滤波1所对应的3个导频的平均测量值最优，则这3个载波的测量上报结果中包括载波1、载波2与载波3的空域发送滤波1对应的导频的测量结果。
还以表1为例。假设多个载波为表1中所示的载波1、载波2与载波3。从表1可知，在载波1、载波2与载波3所具有的空域发送滤波(1,2,3)中，空域发送滤波2对应的导频的RSRP的平均值最大，空域发送滤波1对应的导频的RSRP的平均值次大，空域发送滤波3对应的导频的RSRP的平均值最小。可选地，多个载波的测量上报结果中包括载波1、载波2与载波3的空域发送滤波2下的导频的测量结果。可选地，多个载波的测量上 报结果中包括载波1、载波2与载波3的空域发送滤波2与空域发送滤波1下的导频的测量结果。
终端设备采用第二种策略上报多个载波的测量上报结果的操作，还可以表述为，终端设备上报多个载波的平均最优的前N个导频进行上报，N为正整数。
应理解，除了上述的第一种策略与第二种策略，终端设备还采用其它可行的策略确定多个载波的测量上报结果，只要保证上报多个载波的相同空域发送滤波对应的导频的测量结果即可。
可选地，该多个载波的测量上报结果中包括以下内容的至少一种：载波标识，导频测量值与导频标识。
例如，在终端设备采用第一种策略上报多个载波的测量上报结果的实施例中，作为一个示例，载波1、载波2与载波3的测量上报结果包括如下信息：载波1的载波标识，载波1的空域发送滤波2的导频的RSRP与资源标识，载波2的载波标识，载波2的空域发送滤波2的导频的RSRP与资源标识，载波3的载波标识，载波3的空域发送滤波2下的导频的RSRP与资源标识。
在本申请中，多个载波的测量上报结果的上报方式可以包括多种。
可选地，在一些实施例中，在步骤S230中，终端设备可以对多个载波进行联合上报。
例如，终端设备向网络设备上报一份测量上报结果，这一份测量上报结果中包括一个或多个载波的导频测量结果。
在终端设备采用第一种策略上报多个载波的测量上报结果的实施例中，以表1为例。从表1可以看出，载波2的空域发送滤波1下的导频的RSRP最大，且载波1的空域发送滤波1下的导频的RSRP大于载波3的空域发送滤波1下的导频的RSRP。
若测量上报结果包含一个空域发送滤波的资源标识和一个载波的测量结果，则测量上报结果包括：载波2的载波标识、载波2的空域发送滤波1下的导频的资源标识、以及载波2的空域发送滤波1下的导频的RSRP值。
若测量上报结果包含一个空域发送滤波的资源标识和两个载波的测量结果，则测量上报结果包括：载波2的载波标识、载波2的空域发送滤波1下的导频的资源标识、载波2的空域发送滤波1下的导频的RSRP值、载波1的载波标识、载波1的空域发送滤波1下的导频的资源标识、以及载波1的空域发送滤波1下的导频的RSRP值。
若测量上报结果包含一个空域发送滤波的资源标识和三个载波的测量结果，则测量上报结果包括：载波2的载波标识、载波2的空域发送滤波1下的导频的资源标识、载波2的空域发送滤波1下的导频的RSRP值、载波1的载波标识、载波1的空域发送滤波1下的导频的资源标识、载波1的空域发送滤波1下的导频的RSRP值、载波3的载波标识、载波3的空域发送滤波1下的导频的资源标识、载波3的空域发送滤波1下的导频的RSRP值。

需要说明的是，测量上报结果所包含的空域发送滤波的资源标识数量和上报的载波数 量可以由基站指示，也可以由终端自行决策。
可选地，在一些实施例中，在步骤S230中，终端设备针对多个载波中的每个载波或者部分载波进行单独上报。例如，在一次上报操作中，终端设备上报多个载波中一个载波的测量上报结果；在另一次上报操作中，终端设备上报多个载波中另一个载波的测量上报结果，以此类推。
再例如，在一次上报操作中，终端设备上报多个载波中一部分载波的测量上报结果；在另一次上报操作中，终端设备上报多个载波中剩余部分载波的测量上报结果，以此类推。
作为一个示例，在表1的示例中，在一次上报操作中，终端设备向网络设备上报载波1的载波标识、载波1的空域发送滤波1下的导频的资源标识、载波1的空域发送滤波1下的导频的RSRP值；在另一次上报操作中，终端设备向网络设备上报载波2的载波标识、载波2的空域发送滤波1下的导频的资源标识、载波2的空域发送滤波1下的导频的RSRP值；在再一次上报操作中，终端设备向网络设备上报载波3的载波标识、载波3的空域发送滤波1下的导频的资源标识、载波3的空域发送滤波1下的导频的RSRP值。

可选地，在一些实施例中，在步骤S230中，终端设备也可以上报网络配置的多个载波中的部分载波的测量结果。
可选地，在图2所示实施例中，该方法还包括：网络设备在接收多个载波的测量上报结果后，从该多个载波的测量上报结果中确定该多个载波的用于通信的导频，该多个载波的用于通信的导频对应相同的空域发送滤波；基于该多个载波的相同空域发送滤波发送信号，与该终端设备进行载波聚合的通信。
因此，本申请提供的方案，通过向终端设备配置多个载波的导频关联关系，可以使得终端设备针对多个载波上报对应相同空域发送滤波的多个导频的测量结果，从而在多个载波共享同一个射频通道的情况下，可以实现网络设备同时使用多个载波与终端设备进行通信，即实现载波聚合的通信，可以提高通信效率。

S420，终端设备根据该多个载波的配置信息，向网络设备发送该多个载波的上报结果，该上报结果指示该多个载波的相同空域发送滤波对应的导频。
网络设备接收终端设备发送的该多个载波的上报结果之后，可以基于相同空域发送滤波对应的多个导频(分别为多个载波的导频)，同时使用多个载波与终端设备进行通信。因此，在多个载波共享一个射频通道的情况下，本实施例可以实现网络设备同时使用多个 载波与终端设备进行通信，从而可以提高用户容量，提高通信效率。
在步骤S420中，终端设备可以通过对多个载波的导频进行测量而向网络设备发送多个载波的上报结果，其中，上报结果中可以包括对应于相同空域发送滤波的多个导频的测量结果；或者，终端设备可以根据多个载波的配置信息，直接选择该多个载波的相同空域发送滤波对应的多个导频进行上报。

其中，目标导频可以为多个载波的所有导频中测量值最优的导频，或者，目标导频可以为多个载波的部分导频(例如，50％的导频)中测量值最优的导频，再或者，目标导频可以为测量值超过阈值的导频。
可选地，步骤S410的实施方式包括但不限于上述实施例中的步骤S210，只要多个载波的配置信息可以指示多个载波的相同空域发送滤波对应的导频即可；步骤S420的实施方式包括，终端设备根据多个载波的配置信息，直接选择一个相同空域发送滤波对应的多个导频上报给网络设备。
因此，在本申请实施例中，通过为终端设备配置多个载波的相同空域发送滤波对应的导频，可以使得终端设备向网络设备上报多个载波的相同空域发送滤波下的导频，从而在多个载波共享同一个射频通道的情况下，可以实现网络设备同时使用多个载波与终端设备进行通信，即实现载波聚合的通信，可以提高通信效率。
