具体实施方式
下文中将结合附图对本申请的实施例进行详细说明。
DRX是指UE不用连续地接收基站发送的信号或者信道，而是间歇地接收基站发送的信号或者信道。UE不连续接收的周期称为一个DRX周期，一个DRX周期包括DRX-ON和DRX-OFF。如果一个UE在处于DRX-ON的时候接收到了针对该UE的专用调度信息，那么会启动一个不激活定时器，该定时器使得该UE继续保持醒着的状态直到该定时器失效；如果在该定时器失效之前，UE又接收到了针对该UE的专用调度信息，那么该定时器会重新启动。UE在保持醒着的状态(包括DRX-ON和定时器引起的醒着的时间、调度请求发出之后的等待时间等带来的时间)的这段时间称之为活动时间或激活时间(Active Time)。相应地，在一个DRX周期中，除活动时间之外的时间称为不激活时间(Outside of Active Time)。
根据3GPP协议可知，UE需要在DRX-ON的时候接收物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel，PDCCH)、PDCCH承载的下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information，DCI)以及可能的物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel，PDSCH)(PDSCH由PDCCH来调度)，还可能会发送物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel，PUSCH)(PUSCH由PDCCH来调度)。在DRX-OFF(或不激活时间)，由于UE的信道状况发生了变化，而基站不能知道在UE的DRX-OFF(或不激活时间)时UE的信道状况究竟发生了什么变化，那么，如果在DRX-ON的时候，UE需要接收或发送数据，则这种情况下数据传输效率可能会比较低。低的传输效率会使UE浪费较多的电能，导致UE芯片过热。
如果基站需要了解UE的信道状况(包括波束Beam的情况)，基站可以发送信道状态信息参考信号(Channel-State Information Reference Signal，CSI-RS)、跟踪参考信号(Tracking Reference Signal，T-RS)；基站也可以让UE发送探测 参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal，SRS)。基站在发送上述参考信号的时候，需要指定该参考信号的发送配置指示信息(Transmission Configuration Indicator，TCI)。UE在测量得到上述参考信号之后，使用PUSCH或物理上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel，PUCCH)来报告信道状态信息(Channel-State Information，CSI)。基站可以给UE配置用于报告CSI的PUCCH资源。
基站可以给UE配置一个或多个无线网络临时标识(Radio Network Temporary Identifier，RNTI)。RNTI用于信号/信道(即信号或者信道)的接收或发送。
假设基站知道UE需要在DRX-ON的时候接收或发送数据(例如，下行方向有数据要传输；又如，让UE报告测量结果，如信道质量指示(Channel Quality Indicator，CQI)等)，则基站可以在DRX-ON或DRX-OFF的时候发出省电信号或者信道(省电信号或者信道也属于PDCCH)去唤醒UE或让UE做某一种操作。如此，可以让UE做好接收或发送数据的准备，从而能够更高效地完成数据传输，从而使UE省电。
假设基站知道UE既不需要在DRX-ON的时候接收数据，也不需要发送数据，则基站可以发出省电信号或者信道让UE跳过这次的DRX-ON时间(甚至后续的若干个DRX-ON时间)。如此，可以让UE不用醒来，从而使UE省电。
由于3GPP尚未确定基站和UE在DRX-ON之前这一段时间内做什么操作可以达到让UE省电的目的。因此，本申请实施例提供了一种移动通信网络(包括但不限于第五代移动通信网络(5th-Generation，5G))，该网络的网络架构可以包括网络侧设备(例如一种或多种类型的基站，传输节点，接入节点(AP，Access Point)，中继，节点B(Node B，NB)，陆地无线电接入(UTRA，Universal Terrestrial Radio Access)，演进型陆地无线电接入(EUTRA，Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access)等)和终端(UE，用户设备数据卡，中继(relay)，移动设备等)。在本申请实施例中，提供一种可运行于上述网络架构上的数据传输方法、装置及计算机可读存储介质，能够使第二通信节点更好地知道第一通信节点的链路状况(包括上行和下行)，提高第一通信节点和第二通信节点之间的传输效率，从而使第一通信节点省电。本申请实施例中提供的上述数据传输方法的运行环境并不限于上述网络架构。

下面，以第一通信节点是UE，第二通信节点是基站，第一消息是省电信号或者省电信道(为了简洁，下述记为省电信号/信道)为例，罗列一些示例性实施方式，用于说明本申请实施例提供的数据传输方法。
图5为一实施例提供的一种预窗的时间位置示意图。如图5所示，预窗(也 被称为准备时间(Preparation Period))指出现在不连续接收的醒着时间(DRX-ON)之前或在DRX-ON早期的一段时间。在预窗这一段时间内，UE需要做好接收基站发送的数据或向基站发送数据的准备。另外，在5G-新无线接入技术(New Radio Access Technology，NR)的载波聚合(Carrier Aggregation，CA)中，基站可以给UE配置多个辅载波(即辅小区(SCell))。在SCell的运行过程中，SCell可能是激活的，也可能是去激活的。为了使UE省电，基站可以让一个SCell处于去激活状态，但基站要用这个SCell的时候，基站要快速地激活这个SCell。在这个激活过程中，基站可以用跨载波调度或跨载波激活的方式来激活这个SCell。基站可以配置参考信号(如，SSB、CSI-RS、跟踪参考信号(Tracking Reference Signal，TRS)、主同步信号(Primary Synchronization Signal，PSS)、辅同步信号(Secondary Synchronization Signal，SSS)、SRS、DM-RS、相位跟踪参考信号(Phase Tracking Reference Signal，PT-RS))，又称为临时参考信号(Temporary RS)，让UE做好同步、自动增益控制(Automatic Gain Control，AGC)、CSI测量等工作。做好了这些工作之后，基站与UE之间的传输效率可以得到提高，从而可以使UE省电。本申请实施例跟预窗和临时参考信号有关。
如果基站给UE配置的DRX周期较大(例如10240ms)，那么，为了及时得到信道状况，基站(和UE)使用预窗(发送参考信号、测量参考信号、报告信道状况)是很有必要的；如果UE上次收到的下行信号/信道(如，SSB、CSI-RS、TRS)超过一定时间(如100ms)，那么，使用预窗也是很有必要的；如果基站(或UE)需要传输的数据量比较多(如100MByte)，那么，使用预窗也是很有必要的；如果UE在接下来的一段时间(如10ms)需要接收寻呼消息(Paging)，那么，使用预窗也是很有必要的；在信号变化比较剧烈的场景(如高铁、高速公路)下，使用预窗也是很有必要的；如果基站没有给UE配置DRX但使用了省电信号/信道(使UE监视/跳过监视PDCCH)且省电信号/信道的发送间隔或周期比较大(如20480ms)，那么，使用预窗也是很有必要的。
在对预窗的操作中，如果基站期望获得下行信道状况而不需要上行信道状况，那么，可以让基站发送CSI-RS、让UE测量和上报CSI；如果基站需要进行波束管理，那么，可以让基站发送CSI-RS、让UE根据CSI-RS的测量结果来发送关联的SRS；如果基站为了获得上行信道状况，可以让UE发送SRS。
为了使省电信号/信道解码更可靠，可以复制省电信号/信道的DM-RS，放在省电信号/信道之前去发送。
在第一个示例性实施方式中，图6为一实施例提供的一种由省电信号/信道触发基站发送信道状态信息参考信号、由省电信号/信道触发UE发送探测参考 信号并且探测参考信号关联到信道状态信息参考信号的示意图。
首先，基站给UE配置一些配置参数。这些配置参数包括：
PS-RNTI：UE需要在DRX-OFF时检查该RNTI。例如，UE在DRX-ON之前的一段时间(如，前5-10个Slot)去检查该RNTI。检查的内容包括：省电信号/信道、PDCCH、DCI、CSI-RS、TRS、DM-RS、SSS、PSS、SSB、PT-RS。在一实施例中，基站需要在UE的DRX-ON之前及DRX-ON时间(或UE的DRX激活时间)检查该RNTI。检查的内容包括：SRS(例如，由省电信号/信道触发的SRS)、物理随机接入信道(Physical Random Access Channel，PRACH；例如，由省电信号/信道触发的PRACH)、PUCCH(例如，由省电信号/信道触发的用于报告CSI的PUCCH)、PUSCH(例如，由省电信号/信道触发的用于报告CSI的PUSCH)。
CSI-RS资源：这些资源可以是由省电信号/信道触发的一个或多个CSI-RS资源。这些资源用于基站发送CSI-RS。这些资源可以在不同服务小区的不同的BWP上。
CSI-RS的发送时间相对省电信号/信道的时间偏差：如果时间偏差是一个负数(单位可以是Slot，也可以是绝对时间，如毫秒)，则表示CSI-RS相对省电信号/信道是提早发送的；如果时间偏差是零，则表示CSI-RS和省电信号/信道是在同一个时隙发送的；如果时间偏差是一个正数，则表示CSI-RS相对省电信号/信道是推后发送的。
上述CSI-RS的序列初始化值使用的参数(n ID；取值范围为0-1023)。在序列生成中，用PS-RNTI来初始化该序列，然后用该序列来产生参考信号(如，CSI-RS)。例如CSI-RS可以用PS-RNTI去加扰，即，用PS-RNTI去做序列的初始化(如，n ID＝n PS-RNTI；或者对PS-RNTI取1024的模得到初始化值n ID＝n PS-RNTI mod 1024，即初始化值取PS-RNTI的二进制的低10比特)。基站也可配置一个特定的值去初始化CSI-RS的序列(例如，n ID＝0)。在一实施例中，上述参数n ID也可以应用到TRS上。在一实施例中，用户设备根据PS-RNTI来初始化CSI-RS接收序列；用户设备根据PS-RNTI来初始化TRS接收序列。在一实施例中，CSI-RS用PS-RNTI去作为初始化种子的一部分。例如，初始化种子c init为：
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000001
其中，
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000002
为一个时隙的符号数，
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000003
为子载波间隔配置为μ时当前无线帧的时隙号码，l为符号索引，n ID＝n PS-RNTI mod 1024。
在一实施例中，初始化种子c init还可以为：
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000004
其中，n ID为高层配置的参数(例如，n ID＝0)。
SRS资源：这些资源可以是由省电信号/信道触发的一个或多个资源。这些资源用于UE发送SRS。这些资源可以在不同服务小区的不同的带宽部分(BWP)上。在一实施例中，这些SRS资源可以是非周期的(aperiodic)。这些SRS的发送时间相对省电信号/信道有一个时间偏差(slotOffset)。在一实施例中，时间偏差的范围为0至100个时隙(Slot)。在一实施例中，如果SRS的发送时刻不在UE的DRX-ON或激活时间(Active Time)范围内，则UE需要在DRX-ON的第一个时隙发送SRS。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道可以指示一个时间偏差。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道可以指示一个时间偏差的列表(给出多个时间偏差，UE可选一个最小且可用的时间偏差来发送SRS)。在一实施例中，这些SRS资源可以是周期的(periodic)或半持久的(semi-persistent)。在一实施例中，这些SRS资源使用2个天线端口来发送。在一实施例中，UE可以在不同的BWP上轮流发送SRS。在一实施例中，UE可以在不同的BWP上轮流发送由省电信号/信道触发的SRS。在一实施例中，UE可以在不同服务小区的不同BWP上轮流发送由省电信号/信道触发的SRS。
与上述SRS相关联的CSI-RS资源：这些CSI-RS资源可以是上述的由省电信号/信道触发的CSI-RS资源(即，已在上面列出的CSI-RS资源)，也可以是另外配置的CSI-RS资源。
上述SRS的序列初始化值(c Init；取值范围为0-1023)。例如SRS可以用PS-RNTI去加扰，即，用PS-RNTI去做序列的初始化(如，c Init＝n PS-RNTI；或者对PS-RNTI取1024的模得到初始化值c Init＝n PS-RNTI mod 1024，即初始化值取PS-RNTI的二进制的低10比特)。基站也可配置一个特定的值去初始化SRS的 序列，例如，c Init＝1023，用c Init对伪随机序列c(i)做初始化；伪随机序列c(i)用于如下的组跳频函数中f gh()或者v参数生成：
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000005
或者，
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000006
其中，
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000007
为子载波间隔配置为μ时当前无线帧的时隙号码，c(i)为伪随机序列，
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000008
为一个时隙的符号数，l 0为时域起始位置，l'为SRS的符号索引，mod为取模操作，v为产生序列的参数，

为SRS序列的长度，
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000010
为一个RB上的子载波个数。
在一实施例中，基站在接收SRS时，基站根据PS-RNTI来初始化SRS接收序列(如，c Init＝n PS-RNTI mod 1024)。在一实施例中，用户设备根据PS-RNTI来初始化SRS序列。在一实施例中，SRS用PS-RNTI去作为初始化种子的一部分。例如，初始化种子u(即，序列组号)为：
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000011
其中，f gh为组跳频函数，
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000012
为子载波间隔配置为μ时当前无线帧的时隙号码，l'为SRS的符号索引，
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000013
SRS的用途配置为“省电”，即“PowerSaving”。也可以把SRS的用途配置为“波束管理”(beamManagement)。
其次，基站发送省电信号/信道。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道为一个PDCCH。在一实施例中，可以用PS-RNTI来加扰省电信号/信道的CRC比特；用PS-RNTI来加扰省电信号/信道的载荷(或编码前的比特)；用PS-RNTI来加扰省电信号/信道的编码后的比特。省电信号/信道可以只针对一个UE，也可以针对一组UE。如果省电信号/信道只针对一个UE，那么省电信号/信道由UE的小区无线网络临时标识(Cell-RNTI，C-RNTI)去加扰，或者用PS-RNTI去加 扰，或者同时使用PS-RNTI和C-RNTI去加扰。例如，在加扰的时候，24比特的CRC的后16比特用C-RNTI去加扰(例如，24比特的CRC的后16比特与C-RNTI的二进制比特进行模2加，然后用模2加的结果去替换24比特的CRC的后16比特；在一实施例中，24比特的CRC的前16比特与C-RNTI的二进制比特进行模2加，然后用模2加的结果去替换24比特的CRC的前16比特)，24比特的CRC的前24-16＝8比特用PS-RNTI的后8比特或PS-RNTI的前8比特去加扰；或者，24比特的CRC的后16比特用PS-RNTI去加扰，24比特的CRC的前24-16＝8比特用C-RNTI的后8比特或C-RNTI的前8比特去加扰；或者，先对PS-RNTI和C-RNTI进行模2加，然后用模2加之后的值去跟24比特的CRC的后16比特去加扰。
在一实施例中，上述用PS-RNTI来加扰省电信号/信道的载荷(或编码前的比特)a(i)包括如下操作：
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000014
其中，
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000015
为加扰之后的比特，c(i)为加扰序列，mod2为对前面2个相加数之和取2的模(即，模2加)。加扰序列使用下列初始化种子c init进行初始化：
c init＝n PS-RNTI；或者，
c init＝n PS-RNTI mod 2 10。
其中，n PS-RNTI为PS-RNTI的值。在一实施例中，c init取物理小区号码(Physical Cell Identifier，PCI；即，
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000016
)。
在一实施例中，上述用PS-RNTI来加扰省电信号/信道的编码后的比特b(i)包括如下操作：
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000017
其中，
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000018
为加扰之后的比特，c(i)为加扰序列，mod2为对前面2个相加数之和取2的模(即，模2加)。加扰序列使用下列初始化种子c init进行初始化：
c init＝(n RNTI·2 16+n ID)mod 2 31；
其中，n RNTI取PS-RNTI的值(n RNTI＝n PS-RNTI)，n ID为高层配置的参数。在一实施例中，n RNTI取值为0(即，n RNTI＝0)。在一实施例中，n ID取物理小区号码(PCI；即，
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000019
)。在一实施例中，n RNTI取PS-RNTI的值(n RNTI＝n PS-RNTI)，n ID取C-RNTI的值(n RNTI＝n C-RNTI)。在一实施例中，n RNTI取C-RNTI的值(n RNTI＝n C-RNTI)，n ID取PS-RNTI的值(n RNTI＝n PS-RNTI)。
在一实施例中，基站在计算省电信号/信道的CRC时，需要在待计算的原始信息最前面添加L个“0”。在一实施例中，UE在计算省电信号/信道的CRC时，需要在待计算的原始信息最前面添加L个“0”。其中，L为正整数；例如，L＝24。在一实施例中，基站或UE在计算省电信号/信道的CRC时，CRC寄存器初始化成全“0”。
如果省电信号/信道针对一组UE，那么省电信号/信道由PS-RNTI去加扰。例如，在加扰的时候，24比特的CRC的后16比特用PS-RNTI去加扰；或者24比特的CRC的前16比特用PS-RNTI去加扰。与上述方法类似，在一实施例中，用户设备根据PS-RNTI来解扰省电信号/信道。在一实施例中，用户设备根据PS-RNTI来解扰省电信号/信道的CRC。
在一实施例中，上述PS-RNTI可以是基站事先配置好的(例如，通过RRC信令来配置)，也可以是计算出来的(基站和UE使用相同的计算方法)。例如，PS-RNTI＝Slot+80*CORESET。其中，Slot为省电信号/信道所在的时隙号码，CORESET为省电信号/信道所在的控制资源集号码。在一实施例中，CORESET取值为搜索空间号码。在一实施例中，PS-RNTI＝Slot+160*CORESET。在一实施例中，PS-RNTI＝Slot+80*CORESET+800*CCE，其中，CCE为省电信号/信道使用的最小控制信道元素(Control Channel Element，CCE)号码。在一实施例中，PS-RNTI＝Slot+160*CORESET+1600*CCE。在一实施例中，PS-RNTI＝Slot+80*CORESET+320*BWP，其中，BWP为省电信号/信道所在的BWP号码。在一实施例中，PS-RNTI＝Slot+80*CORESET+320*BWP+1280*Carrier，其中，Carrier为省电信号/信道所在的载波号码或服务小区号码。
在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，可假定省电信号/信道与SSB是准共站址的(QCL，Qusi-CoLocation)。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS与SSB是准共站址的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS天线端口与SSB是准共站址的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS与CSI-RS是准共站址的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS天线端口与CSI-RS是准共站址的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS与TRS是准共站址的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS天线端口与TRS是准共站址的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，可假定省电信号/信道的CORESET与最近调度的CORESET是准共站址的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，可假定省电信号/信道的CORESET与最近调度的具有最小ID号码的CORESET是准共站址的。 在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，SSB可作为省电信号/信道的空间接收参数(Spatial Rx Parameter)的参考。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，SSB可作为省电信号/信道的DM-RS的空间接收参数的参考。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，CSI-RS或TRS可作为省电信号/信道的空间接收参数的参考。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，CSI-RS或TRS可作为省电信号/信道的DM-RS的空间接收参数的参考。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，最近调度的CORESET可作为省电信号/信道的空间接收参数的参考。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，最近调度的CORESET可作为省电信号/信道的CORESET的空间接收参数的参考。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，最近调度的具有最小ID号码的CORESET可作为省电信号/信道的CORESET的空间接收参数的参考。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道配置为QCL的第4种类型(QCL-TypeD)。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道的CORESET配置为QCL-TypeD。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道的DM-RS配置为QCL-TypeD。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道的DM-RS端口配置为QCL-TypeD。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道配置为与CSI-RS的QCL-TypeD特性相同的QCL-TypeD。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道的CORESET配置为与CSI-RS的QCL-TypeD特性相同的QCL-TypeD。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道的DM-RS配置为与CSI-RS的QCL-TypeD特性相同的QCL-TypeD。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道的DM-RS端口配置为与CSI-RS的QCL-TypeD特性相同的QCL-TypeD。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道配置为与SSB的QCL-TypeD特性相同的QCL-TypeD。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道的CORESET配置为与SSB的QCL-TypeD特性相同的QCL-TypeD。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道的DM-RS配置为与SSB的QCL-TypeD特性相同的QCL-TypeD。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道的DM-RS端口配置为与SSB的QCL-TypeD特性相同的QCL-TypeD。在一实施例中，在上述配置中，如果QCL-TypeD可以配置，则配成QCL-TypeD。
再次，基站发送CSI-RS或TRS。基站可以发送一个或多个这样的信号。这样的信号可以是由省电信号/信道触发的，也可以是独立于省电信号/信道的。如果基站发送CSI-RS信号是由省电信号/信道触发的，那么，省电信号/信道会有0比特或1比特或2比特或3比特指示CSI-RS使用什么资源去发送(对于不支持省电技术的UE，这里可以是0比特；或者，UE会忽略这些比特)。在一实施例中，UE在接收CSI-RS或TRS时，可假定CSI-RS或TRS与SSB是准共站址的(QCL，Qusi-CoLocation)。在一实施例中，UE在接收CSI-RS或TRS时，可假定CSI-RS或TRS与省电信号/信道是准共站址的(QCL，Qusi-CoLocation)。在一实施例中，UE在接收CSI-RS或TRS时，可假定CSI-RS或TRS与省电信号/信道的DM-RS是准共站址的(QCL，Qusi-CoLocation)。在一实施例中， UE在接收CSI-RS或TRS时，可假定CSI-RS或TRS与省电信号/信道的DM-RS天线端口是QCL的。在一实施例中，CSI-RS配置为QCL-TypeD。在一实施例中，TRS配置为QCL-TypeD。在一实施例中，CSI-RS配置为与省电信号/信道的QCL-TypeD特性相同的QCL-TypeD。在一实施例中，CSI-RS配置为与省电信号/信道的CORESET的QCL-TypeD特性相同的QCL-TypeD。在一实施例中，CSI-RS配置为与省电信号/信道的DM-RS的QCL-TypeD特性相同的QCL-TypeD。在一实施例中，CSI-RS配置为与省电信号/信道的DM-RS端口的QCL-TypeD特性相同的QCL-TypeD。在一实施例中，UE在接收CSI-RS或TRS时，SSB可作为CSI-RS或TRS的空间接收参数的参考。在一实施例中，UE在接收CSI-RS或TRS时，省电信号/信道可作为CSI-RS或TRS的空间接收参数的参考。在一实施例中，UE在接收CSI-RS或TRS时，省电信号/信道的DM-RS可作为CSI-RS或TRS的空间接收参数的参考。在一实施例中，UE在接收CSI-RS或TRS时，省电信号/信道的DM-RS天线端口可作为CSI-RS或TRS的空间接收参数的参考。如果基站发送多次/多个这样的省电信号/信道(如，重复发送N＝4次；又如，用多个波束发送相同的内容)，那么基站需要根据触发情况发送多个CSI-RS/TRS(例如，每个CSI-RS/TRS对应一个省电信号/信道)；在一实施例中，UE只需要根据最后一个省电信号/信道来报告CSI(包括定时关系)；在一实施例中，UE只需要根据第一个省电信号/信道来报告CSI(包括定时关系)；在一实施例中，UE只需要根据第一个成功解码到的省电信号/信道来报告CSI(包括定时关系)；在一实施例中，UE只需要根据最后一个省电信号/信道来发送SRS(包括定时关系)；在一实施例中，UE只需要根据最佳波束上的省电信号/信道来报告CSI(包括定时关系)；在一实施例中，基站可以在多个控制资源集(CORESET)上发送省电信号/信道(如，每个CORESET各发送一个；又如，选择3个CORESET，每个CORESET各发送一个)；在一实施例中，UE根据最佳接收质量(如，波束最佳；又如，RSRP最高)的CORESET来报告CSI(包括报告的定时关系)；在一实施例中，UE报告CSI的时间偏移(相对省电信号/信道)为max(X,Y)，其中，X为基站配置的时间偏移，Y为省电信号/信道相对DRX-ON的时间差，max()为取2者中较大的数；在一实施例中，UE报告CSI的时间偏移(相对省电信号/信道)为min(X,Y)，其中，X为基站配置的时间偏移，Y为省电信号/信道相对DRX-ON的时间差，min()为取2者中较小的数；在一实施例中，UE只需要根据最佳波束上的省电信号/信道来发送SRS(包括定时关系)。在一实施例中，一套CSI-RS资源组可包含多个CSI-RS资源集。在一实施例中，一套CSI-RS资源组可包含多个载波的CSI-RS资源集。在一实施例中，一个CSI触发状态可关联到一个或多个(最多3个)CSI资源设置；一个CSI资源设置可包含一个或多个CSI-RS资源集。CSI触发情况如下面 的表1-表3所示。

在一实施例中，由省电信号/信道触发的CSI-RS的发送操作与由调度DCI(或调度PDCCH；如，DCI Format 0_1)触发的CSI-RS的发送操作相同(其中，调度PDCCH在UE的DRX激活时间发送/接收)。在一实施例中，由省电信号/信道触发的CSI-RS的发送操作(如，在UE的DRX激活时间之外的时间发送；在DRX-OFF时发送)与由调度DCI触发的CSI-RS的发送操作相同(如，由调度PDCCH触发的CSI-RS在UE的DRX激活时间发送)。在一实施例中，由省电信号/信道触发的CSI-RS的接收操作与由调度DCI触发的CSI-RS的接收操作 相同。在一实施例中，由省电信号/信道触发的CSI-RS的接收操作(如，在UE的DRX激活时间之外的时间接收；在DRX-OFF时接收)与由调度DCI触发的CSI-RS的接收操作相同。在一实施例中，由省电信号/信道触发的CSI报告操作与由调度DCI触发的CSI报告操作相同。在一实施例中，由省电信号/信道触发的CSI报告操作(如，在UE的DRX激活时间之外的时间报告；在DRX-OFF时报告)与由调度DCI触发的CSI报告操作相同(其中，由调度PDCCH触发的CSI报告在UE的DRX激活时间发出)。在一实施例中，如果UE配置了DRX，那么UE应报告最近的出现在DRX激活时间之外的CSI测量结果。在一实施例中，如果UE配置了DRX，那么UE应报告最近的在DRX激活时间之外的由省电信号/信道触发的CSI测量结果。在一实施例中，如果UE配置了DRX，那么UE应报告最近的由省电信号/信道触发的CSI测量结果。在一实施例中，由省电信号/信道触发的TRS的发送操作与由调度DCI触发的TRS的发送操作相同。在一实施例中，由省电信号/信道触发的TRS的接收操作与由调度DCI触发的TRS的接收操作相同。
然后，基站触发UE发送SRS。UE可以发送一个或多个SRS。这个SRS可以是由省电信号/信道触发的，也可以是由DCI触发的。如果UE发送SRS信号是由省电信号/信道触发的，那么，省电信号/信道会有1比特或2比特指示SRS使用什么资源去发送。在一实施例中，如果UE接收到内容不一致的2个或多个省电信号/信道，例如一个省电信号/信道要求UE发送SRS，而另一个省电信号/信道不要求UE发送SRS，那么UE将不发送SRS。在一实施例中，如果UE接收到内容不一致的2个或多个省电信号/信道，那么UE需要发送SRS。在一实施例中，如果UE接收到内容不一致的2个或多个省电信号/信道，那么UE按照具有最小CCE号码的省电信号/信道来执行。在一实施例中，如果UE接收到内容不一致的2个或多个省电信号/信道，那么UE按照具有最大CCE聚合度的省电信号/信道来执行(如果聚合度一样，则按其所在的最小CCE号码最小的省电信号/信道来执行)。如下面的表4和表5所示。
表4
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000024
表5
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000025
在一实施例中，由省电信号/信道触发的SRS的发送操作与由调度DCI(或调度PDCCH；如，DCI Format 0_1)触发的SRS的发送操作相同(其中，由调度DCI触发的SRS在UE的DRX激活时间发送)。在一实施例中，由省电信号/信道触发的SRS的发送操作(如，这时候的SRS在UE的DRX激活时间之外的时间发送；在DRX-OFF时发送)与由调度DCI触发的SRS的发送操作相同。在一实施例中，由省电信号/信道触发的SRS的发送操作与由组公共的DCI Format 2_3触发的SRS的发送操作相同(其中，由组公共的DCI Format 2_3触发的SRS在UE的DRX激活时间发送)。
通过上述操作之后，UE可以测量下行的信道状况、测量得到下行最佳的波束(Beam)并在与最佳Beam对应的资源上发送SRS。基站在接收到SRS之后，知道了下行最佳的Beam，也知道了上行的信道状况和Beam的情况，从而推断出下行的信道状况。基站在知道信道状况之后，可以提高基站与UE之间的传输效率，从而能更快地完成数据传输，从而降低了业务时延，降低了UE的耗电。
在一实施例中，当UE接收到的CSI-RS的参考信号接收功率(CSI-RSRP，CSI-RS Reference Signal Received Power)低于一定值时(如，-120dBm)，UE可以不用监听上述省电信号/信道(这时候，UE按正常的DRX去操作)；在一实施例中，当UE接收到的同步信号块(SSB)的参考信号接收功率(SSB-RSRP)低于一定值时(如，-130dBm)，UE可以不用监听上述省电信号/信道；在一实施例中，当UE接收到的同步信号块(SSB)的辅同步信号(SSS)的参考信号接收功率(SSB-RSRP)低于一定值时(如，-135dBm)，UE可以不用监听上述省电信号/信道。当UE不用监听上述省电信号/信道时，可以节省一部分电能，也可以防止UE误检/漏检，防止UE产生错误操作。
在第二个示例性实施方式中，图7为一实施例提供的一种由省电信号/信道触发基站发送信道状态信息参考信号并且探测参考信号关联到省电信号/信道的示意图。
首先，基站给UE配置一些配置参数。这些配置参数包括：
用于省电的无线网络临时标识(PS-RNTI)：UE需要在DRX-OFF时检查该RNTI。例如，UE在DRX-ON之前的一段时间(如，前0-20个Slot)去检查该RNTI。检查的内容包括：省电信号/信道、物理下行控制信道(PDCCH)、下行控制信息(DCI)、信道状态信息参考信号(CSI-RS)、跟踪参考信号(TRS)、解调参考信号(DM-RS)、辅同步信号(SSS)、主同步信号(PSS)、同步信号块(SSB)、相位跟踪参考信号(PT-RS)。
用于解码省电信号/信道的解调参考信号(DM-RS)的资源：例如，DM-RS扰码号码(ID)。基站可以配置一个或多个这样的ID。例如，这样的ID用16比特对应的整数(即，ID的范围为0～65535)来表达，例如，ID＝0，又如，ID＝1。这样的ID用于产生DM-RS序列时的初始化值。在一实施例中，用户设备根据PS-RNTI(n PS-RNTI)来初始化DM-RS接收序列。在一实施例中，DM-RS用PS-RNTI去作为初始化种子c init的一部分，如下：
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000026
其中，
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000027
为一个时隙的符号数，
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000028
为子载波间隔配置为μ时当前无线帧的时隙号码，l为符号索引，N ID＝n PS-RNTI，mod为取模操作。在一实施例中，N ID取值为UE的C-RNTI(n C-RNTI)；在一实施例中，在UE的激活时间内(Active Time)，N ID取值为UE的C-RNTI。在一实施例中，N ID＝(n PS-RNTI+n C-RNTI)mod 2 16。在一实施例中，在UE的激活时间内(DRX Active Time)，N ID＝(n PS-RNTI+n C-RNTI)mod 2 16。在一实施例中，在UE的激活时间之外(Outside of DRX Active Time；或DRX OFF)，有N ID＝n PS-RNTI。
在一实施例中，DM-RS用PS-RNTI去作为初始化种子c init的一部分，如下：
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000029
其中，N ID为高层配置的参数(如，取为0)。
上述DM-RS的发送配置指示信息(TCI)：例如，可以配置成与同步信号块(SSB)的TCI相同。又如，DM-RS的TCI配置成与同步信号块(SSB)中的DM-RS的TCI相同。再如，DM-RS的TCI配置成与CSI-RS的TCI相同。
上述DM-RS的QCL配置：例如，DM-RS可以配置成与同步信号块(SSB)的QCL相同。又例如，DM-RS端口可以配置成与同步信号块(SSB)的QCL相同。又例如，DM-RS可以配置成与CSI-RS的QCL相同。又例如，DM-RS端口可以配置成与CSI-RS的QCL相同。
探测参考信号(SRS)资源：这些资源可以是由省电信号/信道触发的一个或多个资源。这些资源用于UE发送SRS。这些资源可以在不同服务小区的不同的带宽部分(BWP)上。这些资源可以关联到省电信号/信道上，也可以关联到上述的省电信号/信道上的DM-RS上。在一实施例中，这些SRS资源可以关联到SSB。在一实施例中，这些SRS资源可以关联到CSI-RS。
上述SRS的序列初始化值：例如SRS可以用PS-RNTI去加扰，即，用PS-RNTI去做序列的初始化。基站也可配置一个特定的值去初始化SRS的序列。
SRS的用途配置为“省电”，即“PowerSaving”。也可以把SRS的用途配置为“波束管理”(beamManagement)。
SRS相对省电信号/信道的定时关系：例如，在接收到省电信号/信道的时隙(Slot N)加上一个固定常数K个时隙后，UE在Slot N+K上发送SRS。定时关系也可以直接在省电信号/信道中给出。例如，一比特的“0”表示在2个Slot后发送SRS，一比特的“1”表示在4个Slot后发送SRS。
其次，基站发送省电信号/信道。省电信号/信道需要用UE的C-RNTI或PS-RNTI来加扰。例如，在加扰的时候，可以用PS-RNTI来产生一个扰码序列(例如，伪随机序列)，然后用这个扰码序列来对省电信号/信道编码前的比特进行加扰；或者，用这个扰码序列来对省电信号/信道编码后的比特进行加扰。另外，可以在DRX-OFF(或DRX激活时间之外的时间)时用PS-RNTI去加扰，而在其他时间(如，DRX激活时间)用C-RNTI去加扰。
再次，上述省电信号/信道触发UE发送SRS。UE可以发送一个或多个SRS。省电信号/信道会有1比特或2比特指示SRS使用什么资源去发送。如下面的表6和表7所示。
表6
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000030
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000031
表7
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000032
通过上述操作之后，UE可以(通过DM-RS)测量下行的信道状况、测量得到下行最佳的波束(Beam)并在与最佳Beam对应的资源上发送SRS。基站在接收到SRS之后，知道了下行最佳的Beam，也知道了上行的信道状况和Beam的情况，从而推断出下行的信道状况。基站在知道信道状况之后，可以提高基站与UE之间的传输效率，从而能更快地完成数据传输，从而降低了业务时延，降低了UE的耗电。
在第三个示例性实施方式中，图8为一实施例提供的一种由下行控制信息触发基站发送信道状态信息参考信号、由下行控制信息触发UE发送探测参考信号并且探测参考信号关联到信道状态信息参考信号的示意图。
首先，基站给UE配置一些配置参数。这些配置参数包括：
用于省电的无线网络临时标识(PS-RNTI)：UE需要在DRX-OFF时检查该RNTI。例如，UE在DRX-ON之前的一段时间(如，前2－10个Slot)去检查该RNTI。检查的内容包括：省电信号/信道、物理下行控制信道(PDCCH)、下行控制信息(DCI)、信道状态信息参考信号(CSI-RS)、跟踪参考信号(TRS)、解调参考信号(DM-RS)、辅同步信号(SSS)、主同步信号(PSS)、同步信号块(SSB)、相位跟踪参考信号(PT-RS)。
CSI-RS资源：这些资源可以是由PDCCH/DCI触发的一个或多个CSI-RS资源。这些资源用于基站发送CSI-RS。这些资源可以在不同服务小区的不同的带宽部分(BWP)上。在一实施例中，这些CSI-RS资源包括用于移动性测量的CSI-RS资源(CSI-RS-Resource-Mobility)。在一实施例中，用于移动性测量的 CSI-RS资源是由省电信号/信道触发的。在一实施例中，用于移动性测量的CSI-RS资源出现在UE的DRX激活时间之外(Outside of the DRX active time)。在一实施例中，如果UE配置了DRX，那么，UE应测量出现在UE的DRX激活时间之外的用于移动性测量的CSI-RS资源。在一实施例中，如果UE配置了DRX，那么，UE应测量出现在UE的DRX激活时间之外的由省电信号/信道触发的用于移动性测量的CSI-RS资源。
信道状态信息干扰测量资源(Channel State Information Interference Measurement，CSI-IM)，如非零功率CSI-RS资源(NZP-CSI-RS)或零功率CSI-RS资源(ZP-CSI-RS)：如果UE配置了DRX，那么，UE应测量出现在UE的DRX激活时间之外的由省电信号/信道触发的用于干扰测量的CSI-IM资源。在一实施例中，如果UE在DRX激活时间之外至少测量了一次由省电信号/信道触发的CSI-RS发送机会，那么UE应报告CSI测量报告。
上述PDCCH/DCI的加扰方式：例如，PDCCH/DCI可以用PS-RNTI去加扰。例如，PDCCH/DCI的CRC用PS-RNTI去加扰。
上述CSI-RS的序列初始化值：例如CSI-RS可以用PS-RNTI去加扰，即，用PS-RNTI去做序列的初始化。基站也可配置一个特定的值去初始化CSI-RS的序列。
探测参考信号(SRS)资源：这些资源可以是由省电信号/信道触发的一个或多个资源。这些资源用于UE发送SRS。这些资源可以在不同服务小区的不同的带宽部分(BWP)上。在一实施例中，上述SRS资源可以是关联到CSI-RS的SRS资源。在一实施例中，上述SRS资源可以是关联到SSB的SRS资源。
与上述SRS相关联的CSI-RS资源：这些CSI-RS资源可以是上述的由PDCCH/DCI触发的CSI-RS资源(如，已在上面列出的CSI-RS资源)，也可以是另外配置的CSI-RS资源。
上述SRS的序列初始化值：例如SRS可以用PS-RNTI去加扰，即，用PS-RNTI去做序列的初始化。基站也可配置一个特定的值去初始化SRS的序列。
SRS的用途配置为“省电”，即“PowerSaving”。也可以把SRS的用途配置为“波束管理”(beamManagement)，或者“码本方式”(codebook)，或者“非码本方式”(nonCodebook)，或者“天线切换”(antennaSwitching)。
报告信道状态信息(CSI)的资源。包括：用PUCCH来报告CSI的资源、用PUSCH来报告CSI的资源(例如，配置一个或2个或4个或8个资源)。在一实施例中，这些资源只配置到默认带宽部分(BWP)或初始BWP上。在一实施例中，在每个BWP上都配置这些资源。
其次，基站发送省电信号/信道。
再次，基站发送PDCCH/DCI。PDCCH/DCI需要用UE的C-RNTI或PS-RNTI来加扰。例如，在加扰的时候，可以用PS-RNTI来产生一个扰码序列(例如，伪随机序列)，然后用这个扰码序列来对省电信号/信道编码前的比特进行加扰；或者，用这个扰码序列来对省电信号/信道编码后的比特进行加扰。另外，可以在DRX-OFF时用PS-RNTI去加扰，而在其他时间用C-RNTI去加扰。另外，也可以对PDCCH的CRC与PS-RNTI进行模2加来加扰该PDCCH。
接着，基站发送CSI-RS或TRS。基站可以发送一个或多个这样的信号。这样的信号可以是由PDCCH/DCI触发的，也可以是另外配置的。如果基站发送CSI-RS信号是由PDCCH/DCI触发的，那么，PDCCH/DCI会有0比特或1比特或2比特或3比特指示CSI-RS使用什么资源去发送(对于不支持省电技术的UE，这里可以是0比特；在一实施例中，0比特表示没有这个域)；在一实施例中，如果这时候没有上行共享信道(Uplink Shared Channel，UL-SCH)(即，没有待传输的上行数据)，也可以用2比特冗余版本(Redundancy version)来指示CSI-RS使用什么资源去发送(即，在一实施例中，在DRX-OFF、DRX-ON或DRX激活时间(DRX ACTIVE TIME)下，Redundancy version比特的含义不同。在一实施例中，基站在PDCCH或省电信号/信道发送之后的第Z个时隙上发送CSI-RS(或TRS)。其中，Z为整数。在一实施例中，Z为使得第Z个时隙落在UE的DRX-ON的最小整数。在一实施例中，Z为使得第Z个时隙落在UE的DRX激活时间的最小整数。如下面的表8-表10所示。

RB start表示给UE分配的用于报告信道状态信息(CSI)的RB的起始RB号码。例如，假设上行BWP带宽为100个RB，分配了3个连续的RB，起始RB号码为9，那么RIV＝100*(3-1)+9＝209。用
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000046
比特来表示RIV＝209是0000011010001。
在一实施例中，为减少表达资源指示值RIV需要的比特数，可以把分配的资源单位修改成2个RB(或3个RB，或4个RB)。这时候，

L RBs、都是以2个RB(或3个RB，或4个RB)为单位的，RB start也是以每2个RB(或每3个RB，或每4个RB)来作为起点的。
在一实施例中，用于报告由省电信号/信道触发的CSI报告所使用的PUSCH资源不超过一定的数量。例如，不超过BWP带宽的1/2，或者1/3，或者1/4，或者1/8，或者1/16，或者1/32。
在一实施例中，基站可以用1比特或2比特或3比特来指示配置给PUSCH的资源。例如，1比特的“0”表示UE应使用第一套PUSCH资源来报告CSI，1比特的“1”表示UE应使用第2套PUSCH资源来报告CSI。又例如，2比特的“00”表示UE应使用第一套PUSCH资源来报告CSI，2比特的“01”表示UE应使用第2套PUSCH资源来报告CSI，2比特的“10”表示UE应使用第3套PUSCH资源来报告CSI，2比特的“11”表示UE应使用第4套PUSCH资源来报告CSI。再如，3比特的“000”表示UE应使用第一套PUSCH资源来报告CSI，3比特的“001”表示UE应使用第2套PUSCH资源来报告CSI，3比特的“010”表示UE应使用第3套PUSCH资源来报告CSI，3比特的“011”表示UE应使用第4套PUSCH资源来报告CSI；3比特的“100”表示UE应使用第5套PUSCH资源来报告CSI，3比特的“101”表示UE应使用第6套PUSCH资源来报告CSI，3比特的“110”表示UE应使用第7套PUSCH资源来报告CSI，3比特的“111”表示UE应使用第8套PUSCH资源来报告CSI。在一实施例中，也可以用类似的方法来指示PUCCH使用哪个资源来报告CSI。在一实施例中，如果UE接收到内容不一致的2个或多个省电信号/信道，例如一个省 电信号/信道要求UE报告CSI，而另一个省电信号/信道不要求UE报告CSI，那么UE将不报告CSI。在一实施例中，如果UE接收到内容不一致的2个或多个省电信号/信道，那么UE需要报告CSI。在一实施例中，基站接收承载在PUCCH上的CSI报告；在一实施例中，基站接收承载在PUSCH上的CSI报告；在一实施例中，基站接收承载在PUCCH上的由省电信号/信道触发的CSI报告；在一实施例中，基站接收承载在PUSCH上的由省电信号/信道触发的CSI报告。
在一实施例中，基站给UE配置的上述报告CSI的PUCCH资源(PUCCH-CSI-Resource)包括，PUCCH资源列表(pucch-CSI-ResourceList)，报告的时隙配置(reportSlotConfig)，一个或多个PUCCH资源集(PUCCH-ResourceSet)，每个PUCCH资源集具有资源集号码(PUCCH-ResourceSetId)，每个PUCCH资源集包括一个或多个PUCCH资源(PUCCH-Resource)，每个PUCCH资源具有资源号码(PUCCH-ResourceId)、起始物理资源块(Physical Resource Block，PRB)号码(startingPRB)和PUCCH格式(format)。在一实施例中，PUCCH格式包括PUCCH格式2(PUCCH-format2)、PUCCH格式3(PUCCH-format3)、PUCCH格式4(PUCCH-format4)。在一实施例中，这些PUCCH格式包含PRB数量(nrofPRBs)。在一实施例中，用于报告由省电信号/信道触发的CSI报告所使用的PUCCH资源(即，nrofPRBs)不超过一定的数量。例如，不超过BWP带宽的1/2，或者1/3，或者1/4，或者1/8，或者1/16，或者1/32。在一实施例中，这些PUCCH格式使用PS-RNTI来加扰，如下：
c init＝n PS-RNTI·2 15+n ID；
其中，c init用来初始化产生扰码序列的初始值，n PS-RNTI为PS-RNTI的值(十进制)，n ID为高层配置的参数，取值为0～1023；n ID也可以是小区号码(PCI)。
在一实施例中，上述PUSCH资源是定义在某个BWP上的。例如，某次报告使用BWP ID＝0的第一套PUSCH资源；又如，某次报告使用BWP ID＝1的第2套PUSCH资源。
在一实施例中，上述PUSCH资源可以关联到省电信号/信道所在的CCE。假设用于发送省电信号/信道的最小CCE号码为k＝3，配置的PUSCH资源个数为N＝4(即，共4套资源)，那么，这时候使用的PUSCH资源号码为mod(k,N)＝mod(3,4)＝3，则这次报告CSI将使用号码为3的PUSCH资源(即，第4套PUSCH资源)。
在一实施例中，如果基站指示(如，通过省电信号/信道中的2比特BWP号码指示出来；通过PDCCH指示；或通过调度DCI指示)有BWP切换(即，UE即将在不同于当前BWP的BWP上接收或发送数据)，那么，基站将在目标 BWP上发送CSI-RS，UE将在目标BWP上接收和测量CSI-RS，UE将在目标BWP的第一套PUSCH资源上发送CSI报告；在一实施例中，UE将在目标BWP的第一套PUCCH资源上发送CSI报告。在一实施例中，UE将在BWP切换完成之后的第一个Slot报告CSI。在一实施例中，UE将在BWP切换完成之后的第2个Slot报告CSI。在一实施例中，UE将在BWP切换完成之后的第3个Slot报告CSI。在一实施例中，UE将在BWP切换完成之后的第4个Slot报告CSI。在一实施例中，UE在BWP切换完成之后的第X个时隙上报告CSI。其中，X为正整数。在一实施例中，X为使得第X个时隙落在UE的DRX-ON的最小整数。
然后，基站触发UE发送SRS。UE可以发送一个或多个SRS。这个SRS可以是由PDCCH/DCI触发的。如果UE发送SRS信号是由PDCCH/DCI触发的，那么，PDCCH/DCI会有1比特或2比特指示SRS使用什么资源去发送。如下面的表11和表12所示。
表11

表12
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000049
通过上述操作之后，UE可以测量和报告下行的信道状况(CSI)、测量得到下行最佳的波束(Beam)并在与最佳Beam对应的资源上发送SRS。基站在接收到SRS之后，知道了下行最佳的Beam，也知道了上行的信道状况和Beam的情况，从而推断出下行的信道状况。基站在知道信道状况之后，可以提高基站与UE之间的传输效率，从而能更快地完成数据传输，从而降低了业务时延，降低了UE的耗电。
在第四个示例性实施方式中，图9为一实施例提供的一种由省电信号/信道触发基站发送信道状态信息参考信号、由省电信号/信道触发UE发送随机接入信道并且随机接入信道关联到信道状态信息参考信号的示意图。
首先，基站给UE配置一些配置参数。这些配置参数包括：
用于省电的无线网络临时标识(PS-RNTI)：UE需要在DRX-OFF时检查该RNTI。例如，UE在DRX-ON之前的一段时间(如，前5－10个Slot)去检查该RNTI。检查的内容包括：省电信号/信道、物理下行控制信道(PDCCH)、下行控制信息(DCI)、信道状态信息参考信号(CSI-RS)、跟踪参考信号(TRS)、解调参考信号(DM-RS)、辅同步信号(SSS)、主同步信号(PSS)、同步信号块(SSB)、相位跟踪参考信号(PT-RS)。
CSI-RS资源：这些资源可以是由省电信号/信道触发的一个或多个CSI-RS资源。这些资源用于基站发送CSI-RS。这些资源可以在不同服务小区的不同的带宽部分(BWP)上。
SSB资源。
上述CSI-RS的序列初始化值：例如CSI-RS可以用PS-RNTI去加扰，即，用PS-RNTI去做序列的初始化。基站也可配置一个特定的值去初始化CSI-RS的序列。
随机接入信道(PRACH)资源：这些资源可以是由省电信号/信道触发的一个或多个资源。这些资源用于UE发送PRACH。这些资源可以在不同服务小区的不同的带宽部分(BWP)上。PRACH的资源包括：前导ID(例如，专用前导的号码)、频率资源(如，在哪个BWP上面的哪些物理资源块上面发送)、PRACH相对省电信号/信道的时间偏差、PRACH(即，前导)所使用的循环偏移、PRACH的格式。在一实施例中，这些PRACH资源是关联到CSI-RS的PRACH资源。在一实施例中，这些PRACH资源是关联到SSB的PRACH资源。在一实施例中，PRACH资源由省电信号/信道指示出来。在一实施例中，PRACH资源与省电信号/信道使用的资源一一对应。
与上述PRACH相关联的CSI-RS资源：这些CSI-RS资源可以是上述的由省电信号/信道触发的CSI-RS资源(如，已在上面列出的CSI-RS资源)，也可以是另外配置的CSI-RS资源。
与上述PRACH相关联的SSB资源。
上述PRACH的序列初始化值：例如SRS可以用PS-RNTI去加扰，即，用PS-RNTI去做序列的初始化。基站也可配置一个特定的值去初始化PRACH的序 列。
其次，基站发送省电信号/信道。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道可触发UE获取系统信息(如，第8号系统信息块SIB8)。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道的聚合度为1、2、4、8、16、32。在一实施例中，当省电信号/信道的聚合度为16个控制信道单元(CCE)时，省电信号/信道有一个候选位置；该位置有16个连续的CCE。在一实施例中，当省电信号/信道的聚合度为16个控制信道单元(CCE)时，省电信号/信道有2个候选位置；每个位置有16个连续的CCE。在一实施例中，当省电信号/信道的聚合度为32个CCE时，省电信号/信道有一个候选位置；这个位置有32个连续的CCE。高的聚合度有利于省电信号/信道的成功传输，从而降低UE漏检情况。
再次，UE接收上述省电信号/信道。UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道与SSB是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS与SSB是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS与SSB具有相同的QCL特性。在一实施例中，如果可以使用，相同的QCL特性包括：多普勒频移、多普勒时延扩展、平均时延、时延扩展、空间接收参数。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道与CSI-RS是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS与CSI-RS是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS与CSI-RS具有相同的QCL特性。在一实施例中，如果可以使用，相同的QCL特性包括：多普勒频移、多普勒时延扩展、平均时延、时延扩展、空间接收参数。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道与用于随机接入相关联的CSI-RS是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS与用于随机接入相关联的CSI-RS是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS与用于随机接入相关联的CSI-RS具有相同的QCL特性。在一实施例中，如果可以使用，相同的QCL特性包括：多普勒频移、多普勒时延扩展、平均时延、时延扩展、空间接收参数。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道与用于随机接入相关联的SSB是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS与用于随机接入相关联的SSB是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS与用于随机接入相关联的SSB具有相同的QCL特性。在一实施例中，如果可以使用，相同的QCL特性包括：多普勒频移、多普勒时延扩展、平均时延、时延扩展、空间接收参数。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道 与用于波束管理相关联的CSI-RS是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS与用于波束管理相关联的CSI-RS是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS与用于波束管理相关联的CSI-RS具有相同的QCL特性。在一实施例中，如果可以使用，相同的QCL特性包括：多普勒频移、多普勒时延扩展、平均时延、时延扩展、空间接收参数。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道与用于波束管理相关联的SSB是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS与用于波束管理相关联的SSB是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS与用于波束管理相关联的SSB具有相同的QCL特性。在一实施例中，如果可以使用，相同的QCL特性包括：多普勒频移、多普勒时延扩展、平均时延、时延扩展、空间接收参数。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道与用于信道状态测量(包括使用码本codebook、不使用码本nonCodebook、天线切换antennaSwitching)相关联的CSI-RS是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS与用于信道状态测量相关联的CSI-RS是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS与用于信道状态测量相关联的CSI-RS具有相同的QCL特性。在一实施例中，如果可以使用，相同的QCL特性包括：多普勒频移、多普勒时延扩展、平均时延、时延扩展、空间接收参数。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道与用于信道状态测量相关联的SSB是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS与用于信道状态测量相关联的SSB是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS与用于信道状态测量相关联的SSB具有相同的QCL特性。在一实施例中，如果可以使用，相同的QCL特性包括：多普勒频移、多普勒时延扩展、平均时延、时延扩展、空间接收参数。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道与用于波束管理相关联的CSI-RS是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS端口与用于波束管理相关联的CSI-RS是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS端口与用于波束管理相关联的CSI-RS具有相同的QCL特性。在一实施例中，如果可以使用，相同的QCL特性包括：多普勒频移、多普勒时延扩展、平均时延、时延扩展、空间接收参数。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道与用于波束管理相关联的SSB是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS 端口与用于波束管理相关联的SSB是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS端口与用于波束管理相关联的SSB具有相同的QCL特性。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS端口与最近接收到的SSB具有相同的QCL特性。在一实施例中，如果可以使用，相同的QCL特性包括：多普勒频移、多普勒时延扩展、平均时延、时延扩展、空间接收参数。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道与用于信道状态测量(包括使用码本codebook、不使用码本nonCodebook、天线切换antennaSwitching)相关联的CSI-RS是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS端口与用于信道状态测量相关联的CSI-RS是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS端口与用于信道状态测量相关联的CSI-RS具有相同的QCL特性。在一实施例中，如果可以使用，相同的QCL特性包括：多普勒频移、多普勒时延扩展、平均时延、时延扩展、空间接收参数。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道与最近接收到用于信道状态测量相关联的CSI-RS是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS端口与最近接收到用于信道状态测量相关联的CSI-RS是QCL的。在一实施例中，UE在接收省电信号/信道时，UE可假定省电信号/信道的DM-RS端口与最近接收到用于信道状态测量相关联的CSI-RS具有相同的QCL特性。在一实施例中，如果可以使用，相同的QCL特性包括：多普勒频移、多普勒时延扩展、平均时延、时延扩展、空间接收参数。
接着，基站发送CSI-RS或TRS。基站可以发送一个或多个这样的信号。这样的信号可以是由省电信号/信道触发的，也可以是独立于省电信号/信道的。如果基站发送CSI-RS信号是由省电信号/信道触发的，那么，省电信号/信道会有0比特或1比特或2比特或3比特指示CSI-RS使用什么资源去发送(对于不支持省电技术的UE，这里可以是0比特)。如下面的表13-表15所示。

然后，基站触发UE发送PRACH。UE可以发送一个或多个PRACH。这个PRACH可以是由省电信号/信道触发的，也可以是由DCI触发的，也可以是由PDCCH命令(PDCCH Order)触发的。如果UE发送PRACH信号是由省电信 号/信道触发的，那么，省电信号/信道会有1比特或2比特指示PRACH使用什么资源去发送。省电信号/信道会指示出PRACH资源的配置信息。在一实施例中，如果UE在第n个时隙接收到省电信号/信道，则UE在第n+4个时隙使用配置的PRACH资源去发送PRACH。在一实施例中，如果UE在第n个时隙接收到省电信号/信道，则UE在第n+K个时隙使用配置的PRACH资源去发送PRACH，其中，K是使得第n+K个时隙落在UE的DRX-ON的最小整数。如下面的表16和表17所示。
表16
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000052
表17
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000053
通过上述操作之后，UE可以测量下行的信道状况、测量得到下行最佳的波束(Beam)并在与最佳Beam对应的资源上发送PRACH。基站在接收到PRACH之后，知道了下行最佳的Beam，也知道了上行定时相对下行的定时偏差(从而可计算出定时提前量TA，从而知道了上行同步状况)，也知道了上行的信道状况和Beam的情况，从而推断出下行的信道状况。基站在知道信道状况之后，可以提高基站与UE之间的传输效率，从而能更快地完成数据传输，从而降低了业务时延，降低了UE的耗电。
在第五个示例性实施方式中，图10为一实施例提供的一种由省电信号/信道触发UE发送探测参考信号并且探测参考信号关联到信道状态信息参考信号的示意图。
首先，基站给UE配置一些配置参数。这些配置参数包括：
用于省电的无线网络临时标识(PS-RNTI)：UE需要在DRX-OFF时检查该RNTI。例如，UE在DRX-ON之前的一段时间(如，前5－10个Slot)去检查该RNTI。检查的内容包括：省电信号/信道、物理下行控制信道(PDCCH)、下行控制信息(DCI)、信道状态信息参考信号(CSI-RS)、跟踪参考信号(TRS)、解调参考信号(DM-RS)、辅同步信号(SSS)、主同步信号(PSS)、同步信号块(SSB)、相位跟踪参考信号(PT-RS)。
CSI-RS资源：这些资源用于基站发送CSI-RS。这些资源包括CSI-RS相对省电信号/信道提早发送的时间偏差(例如，在省电信号/信道前一个Slot发送；又如，在省电信号/信道前2个Slot发送，再如，与省电信号/信道在同一个Slot上发送)。这些资源可以在不同服务小区的不同的带宽部分(BWP)上。
上述CSI-RS的序列初始化值：例如CSI-RS可以用PS-RNTI去加扰，即，用PS-RNTI去做序列的初始化。基站也可配置一个特定的值去初始化CSI-RS的序列。
探测参考信号(SRS)资源：这些资源可以是由省电信号/信道触发的一个或多个资源。这些资源用于UE发送SRS。这些资源可以在不同服务小区的不同的带宽部分(BWP)上。
与上述SRS相关联的CSI-RS资源：这些CSI-RS资源可以是上述的由省电信号/信道触发的CSI-RS资源(如，已在上面列出的CSI-RS资源)，也可以是另外配置的CSI-RS资源。
上述SRS的序列初始化值：例如SRS可以用PS-RNTI去加扰，即，用PS-RNTI去做序列的初始化。基站也可配置一个特定的值去初始化SRS的序列。
SRS的用途配置为“省电”，即“PowerSaving”。也可以把SRS的用途配置为“波束管理”(beamManagement)。
其次，基站发送CSI-RS或TRS。基站可以发送一个或多个这样的信号。这样的信号可以是独立于省电信号/信道的。
再次，基站发送省电信号/信道。
然后，基站触发UE发送SRS。UE可以发送一个或多个SRS。这个SRS可以是由省电信号/信道触发的，也可以是由DCI触发的。如果UE发送SRS信号是由省电信号/信道触发的，那么，省电信号/信道会有1比特或2比特指示SRS使用什么资源去发送。如下面的表18和表19所示。
表18
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000054
表19
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000055
通过上述操作之后，UE可以测量下行的信道状况、测量得到下行最佳的波束(Beam)并在与最佳Beam对应的资源上发送SRS。基站在接收到SRS之后，知道了下行最佳的Beam，也知道了上行的信道状况和Beam的情况，从而推断出下行的信道状况。基站在知道信道状况之后，可以提高基站与UE之间的传输效率，从而能更快地完成数据传输，从而降低了业务时延，降低了UE的耗电。
在第六个示例性实施方式中，图11为一实施例提供的一种由省电信号/信道触发基站发送信道状态信息参考信号并且UE根据对CSI-RS的测量结果来发送物理上行控制信道的示意图。
首先，基站给UE配置一些配置参数。这些配置参数包括：
用于省电的无线网络临时标识(PS-RNTI)：UE需要在DRX-OFF时检查该RNTI。例如，UE在DRX-ON之前的一段时间(如，前5－10个Slot)去检查该RNTI。检查的内容包括：省电信号/信道、物理下行控制信道(PDCCH)、下行控制信息(DCI)、信道状态信息参考信号(CSI-RS)、跟踪参考信号(TRS)、解调参考信号(DM-RS)、辅同步信号(SSS)、主同步信号(PSS)、同步信号块(SSB)、相位跟踪参考信号(PT-RS)。
CSI-RS资源：这些资源可以是由省电信号/信道触发的一个或多个CSI-RS资源。这些资源用于基站发送CSI-RS。这些资源可以在不同服务小区的不同的带宽部分(BWP)上。在一实施例中，CSI-RS资源包括资源号码 (nzp-CSI-RS-ResourceId)。
CSI-RS的发送时间相对省电信号/信道的时间偏差：如果时间偏差是一个负数(单位可以是Slot，也可以是绝对时间，如，毫秒)，则表示CSI-RS相对省电信号/信道是提早发送的；如果时间偏差是零，则表示CSI-RS和省电信号/信道是在同一个时隙发送的；如果时间偏差是一个正数，则表示CSI-RS相对省电信号/信道是推后发送的。
上述CSI-RS的序列初始化值：例如CSI-RS可以用PS-RNTI去加扰，即，用PS-RNTI去做序列的初始化。基站也可配置一个特定的值去初始化CSI-RS的序列。在一实施例中，如果PS-RNTI是针对一组UE的，那么CSI-RS资源和TRS资源也应是针对一组UE的，初始化值也是针对一组UE的。
物理上行控制信道(PUCCH)资源：这些资源可以是由省电信号/信道触发的一套或多套资源。这些资源用于UE发送承载非周期信道状态信息(Aperiodic Channel State Information，A-CSI)时的PUCCH。承载A-CSI时的资源可以与承载周期信道状态信息(Periodic Channel State Information，P-CSI)的资源相同；承载A-CSI时的资源可以与承载周期信道状态信息(P-CSI)的资源不同。PUCCH资源可以由省电信号/信道指示出来(如，一比特的“0”表示使用第一套资源，一比特的“1”表示使用第2套资源；当省电信号/信道用C-RNTI去加扰时，表示使用第一套资源；又如，当省电信号/信道用PS-RNTI去加扰时，表示使用第二套资源)。这些资源可以在不同服务小区的不同的带宽部分(BWP)上。在一实施例中，第一套PUCCH资源指具有最小号码(pucch-ResourceId最小)的资源。在一实施例中，第一套PUCCH资源指号码为0(pucch-ResourceId＝0)的资源。在一实施例中，第一套PUCCH资源指号码为1(pucch-ResourceId＝1)的资源。第2套PUCCH资源号码在前一套号码的基础上加1。在一实施例中，第一套PUCCH资源指资源集号码为0(PUCCH-ResourceSetId＝0)且资源号码为0(pucch-ResourceId＝0)的资源。
上述PUCCH的DM-RS序列初始化值：例如，DM-RS可以用PS-RNTI去加扰，即，用PS-RNTI去做序列的初始化。基站也可配置一个特定的值去初始化DM-RS的序列。
上述PUCCH的加扰方式：例如，PUCCH编码前的比特用PS-RNTI去加扰(例如，用PS-RNTI产生一个伪随机序列，之后，用伪随机序列与编码前的比特进行模2加)；又如，PUCCH编码后的比特用PS-RNTI去加扰；再如，PUCCH的CRC用PS-RNTI去加扰(例如，用PS-RNTI的后6比特与PUCCH的6比特的CRC进行模2加；又如，用PS-RNTI的后11比特与PUCCH的11比特的CRC进行模2加；又如，在报告的CSI有分段的时候，用PS-RNTI的后11比 特与PUCCH的第一段的11比特的CRC进行模2加，用PS-RNTI的前11比特与PUCCH的第2段的11比特的CRC进行模2加；又如，在报告的CSI有分段的时候，用PS-RNTI的后11比特与PUCCH的第一段的11比特的CRC进行模2加，用PS-RNTI的从后往前数的第6至16比特这11个比特与PUCCH的第2段的11比特的CRC进行模2加；又如，在报告的CSI有分段的时候，都用PS-RNTI的后11比特与PUCCH这2个段的CRC进行模2加)。
物理上行共享信道(PUSCH)资源：这些资源可以是由省电信号/信道触发的一个或多个资源。这些资源用于UE发送承载非周期信道状态信息(A-CSI)时的PUSCH。在一实施例中，基站可配置一套或多套PUSCH资源。在一实施例中，PUSCH资源的号码的标识方法可以与上述PUCCH资源号码的标识方法类似。
上述PUSCH的加扰方式：例如，PUSCH编码前的比特用PS-RNTI去加扰(例如，用PS-RNTI产生一个伪随机序列，之后，用伪随机序列与编码前的比特进行模2加)。在一实施例中，PUSCH编码后的比特用PS-RNTI去加扰。在一实施例中，PUSCH的CRC用PS-RNTI去加扰。在一实施例中，PUSCH的24比特的CRC的后16比特用PS-RNTI去加扰。在一实施例中，PUSCH的16比特的CRC用16比特的PS-RNTI去加扰。
上述PUSCH的DM-RS序列初始化值：例如，DM-RS可以用PS-RNTI去加扰，即，用PS-RNTI去做序列的初始化。基站也可配置一个特定的值去初始化DM-RS的序列。
配置一个专门的BWP，用于发送发省电信号/信道。这时候，可以在这个专门的BWP上发送CSI-RS或TRS，从而有助于省电信号/信道的解码，以及UE进行AGC、同步、CSI测量、CSI报告等。在一实施例中，在各个BWP上都配置用于发送省电信号/信道的资源(如，CORESET、搜索空间、搜索空间集)，但基站只在当前活动的BWP上发送省电信号/信道；UE只在当前活动的BWP上接收省电信号/信道。在一实施例中，只在默认BWP上配置用于发送省电信号/信道的资源(如，CORESET、搜索空间、搜索空间集)，基站只在默认的BWP上发送省电信号/信道；UE只在默认的BWP上接收省电信号/信道。在一实施例中，只在初始BWP上配置用于发送省电信号/信道的资源(如，CORESET、搜索空间、搜索空间集)，基站只在初始的BWP上发送省电信号/信道；UE只在初始的BWP上接收省电信号/信道。
其次，基站发送省电信号/信道。
再次，基站发送CSI-RS。基站可以发送一个或多个这样的信号。这样的信号可以是由省电信号/信道触发的，也可以是独立于省电信号/信道的。如果基站 发送CSI-RS信号是由省电信号/信道触发的，那么，省电信号/信道会有0比特或1比特或2比特或3比特指示CSI-RS使用什么资源去发送(对于不支持省电技术的UE，这里可以是0比特)。如下面的表20和表21所示。
表20

表21
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000057
在一实施例中，如果省电信号/信道是针对单个UE的(即，UE-Specific)，那么有0-6比特的CSI-RS触发(CSI Request)比特；在一实施例中，0-3比特。在一实施例中，如果省电信号/信道是针对一组UE的(即，Group-Common)，那么有0-3比特的CSI-RS触发(CSI Request)比特；在一实施例中，0-2比特。在一实施例中，比特数由高层(如，RRC)来配置。
在一实施例中，如果省电信号/信道是DRX-OFF时期或非激活时间(Outside of DRX Active Time)发送的，那么有0-3比特的CSI-RS触发(CSI Request)比特；在一实施例中，0-2比特。在一实施例中，如果省电信号/信道是在激活时间发送的，那么有0-6比特的CSI-RS触发(CSI Request)比特；在一实施例中，0-3比特。在一实施例中，比特数由高层(如，RRC)来配置。
在一实施例中，如果省电信号/信道要表达的是“进入睡眠(Go-To-Sleep；GTS)”这样的操作，那么，2比特的CSI-RS触发(CSI Request)预留；或者CSI-RS触发(CSI Request)比特作为其他的用途；或者固定为“0”或“00”。
在一实施例中，如果基站要发送省电信号/信道，则基站也需要发送CSI-RS 或TRS。例如，基站在同一个Slot发送省电信号/信道和CSI-RS；又如，基站在第N个Slot发送省电信号/信道之后，在第N+K个Slot发送CSI-RS；再如，基站在第N个Slot发送省电信号/信道之前，在第N-L个Slot发送CSI-RS，其中，N、K和L都是整数。在一实施例中，如果第N+K个Slot不在UE的DRX-ON的时间内，那么基站延迟到UE的DRX-ON的时间内再发送(例如，在DRX-ON的第一个Slot上发送)；在一实施例中，如果第N+K个Slot不在UE的活动时间(Active Time)的时间内，那么基站延迟到UE的活动时间的时间内再发送(例如，在活动时间的第一个Slot上发送)。
在一实施例中，如果基站要发送的省电信号/信道中指示了带宽部分(BWP)的切换，则基站也需要发送CSI-RS或TRS。在一实施例中，如果基站要发送的省电信号/信道中指示了带宽部分(BWP)的切换，则基站也需要在目标BWP上发送CSI-RS或TRS；UE需要在目标BWP上接收CSI-RS或TRS。
在一实施例中，如果UE成功地接收到了省电信号/信道，则UE也需要接收CSI-RS或TRS。在一实施例中，如果UE成功地解码出了省电信号/信道，则UE也需要报告CSI。在一实施例中，UE在成功解码省电信号之后，使用PUSCH报告CSI。在一实施例中，UE在成功解码省电信号之后，使用PUSCH报告非周期CSI。在一实施例中，UE在成功解码省电信号之后，使用PUCCH报告CSI。在一实施例中，UE在成功解码省电信号之后，使用PUCCH报告非周期CSI。在一实施例中，UE在成功解码省电信号之后，使用PUCCH报告周期CSI。在一实施例中，如果UE成功地解码出了省电信号/信道，则UE也需要发送SRS。例如，假设UE在第N个Slot成功地解码出了省电信号/信道，那么UE要在第N+K个Slot接收CSI-RS。又如，假设UE在第N个Slot成功地解码出了省电信号/信道，那么UE要在第N+M个Slot报告CSI。再如，假设UE在第N个Slot成功地解码出了省电信号/信道，那么UE要在第N+P个Slot发送SRS，其中，N、K、M和P都是整数。在一实施例中，如果第N+K个Slot不在UE的DRX-ON的时间内(或活动时间内)，那么UE在DRX-ON的时间内(或活动时间内)接收CSI-RS或TRS(例如，在DRX-ON的第一个Slot上接收)。在一实施例中，如果第N+M个Slot不在UE的DRX-ON的时间内(或活动时间内)，那么UE在DRX-ON的时间内(或活动时间内)报告CSI(例如，在DRX-ON的第Q个Slot上报告CSI，Q为整数，例如，Q＝4)。在一实施例中，如果第N+P个Slot不在UE的DRX-ON的时间内(或活动时间内)，那么UE在DRX-ON的时间内(或活动时间内)发送SRS(例如，在DRX-ON的第R个Slot上发送SRS，R为整数，例如，R＝2)。在一实施例中，由省电信号/信道触发的SRS在由省电信号/信道触发的CSI-RS之后发送，它们之间有一定的时间偏差(如，偏差X＝2个时隙)。在一实施例中，由省电信号/信道触发的SRS在由省电信号 /信道触发的CSI-RS之前发送，它们之间有一定的时间偏差(如，偏差X＝3个时隙)。
在一实施例中，UE用PUSCH来报告非周期CSI时，根据PS-RNTI来加扰PUSCH中待发送的比特(b (q)(i))，如下：

f ss＝n ID mod 30；
其中，n ID取PS-RNTI的值，或者，n ID＝n PS-RNTI mod 2 10。
在一实施例中，如果高层(指RRC；无线资源控制层)配置了n ID，那么 f ss＝(n ID+n PS-RNTI)mod 30或者，简单地，用n ID+n PS-RNTI的值去替代n ID的值。
在一实施例中，如果UE解码出的省电信号/信道指示了带宽部分(BWP)的切换，则UE也需要接收CSI-RS或TRS。在一实施例中，如果UE解码出的省电信号/信道指示了带宽部分(BWP)的切换，则UE也需要报告CSI。在一实施例中，如果UE解码出的省电信号/信道指示了带宽部分(BWP)的切换，则UE也需要发送SRS。
在一实施例中，第一套CSI-RS资源(NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceId＝0或NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceId＝1)与第一个下行波束相对应。在一实施例中，第一套CSI-RS资源集(resourceSet＝0或resourceSet＝1)的第一套CSI-RS资源(NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceId＝0或NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceId＝1)与第一个下行波束相对应。第2套CSI-RS资源号码(NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceId)在前一套CSI-RS资源号码的基础上加一。第一个上行波束由与第一套CSI-RS资源集相对应的SRS资源确定。在一实施例中，第一套CSI-RS资源集(resourceSet＝0或resourceSet＝1)与第一个下行波束集相对应；一个波束集可以包含一个或多个波束。在一实施例中，一个下行波束集与一个上行波束集相对应。在一实施例中，由省电信号/信道触发的CSI-RS资源使用单个天线端口来发送(如，端口号码为0或3000)。在一实施例中，由省电信号/信道触发的CSI-RS资源使用2个天线端口来发送(如，端口号码为0和1；或者3000和3001)。在一实施例中，由省电信号/信道触发的CSI-RS资源使用4个天线端口来发送(如，端口号码为0、1、2和3；或者3000、3001、3002和3003)。在一实施例中，由省电信号/信道触发的CSI-RS资源使用8个天线端口来发送(如，端口号码为0、1、2、......7；或者3000、3001、......3007)。
然后，基站触发UE发送PUSCH或PUCCH(以报告CSI)。在一实施例中，UE在成功解码省电信号/信道之后，需要在基站配置的资源上测量CSI-RS，并在配置的PUCCH资源上报告CSI。在一实施例中，UE在成功解码省电信号/信道之后，需要在基站配置的资源上测量CSI-RS，并在配置的PUSCH资源上报告CSI。在一实施例中，UE在成功解码省电信号/信道之后，需要在基站配置的资源上测量CSI-RS，并在配置的PUSCH资源或PUCCH资源上报告CSI；在一实施例中，UE应优先选择PUCCH资源来报告。通过上述操作之后，UE可以测量下行的信道状况。基站在接收到PUSCH或PUCCH之后，知道了下行的信道状况，也可以(通过DM-RS)推断出上行的信道状况。基站在知道信道状况之后，可以提高基站与UE之间的传输效率，从而能更快地完成数据传输，从而降低了业务时延，降低了UE的耗电。
在第七个示例性实施方式中，图12为一实施例提供的一种拷贝省电信号/信道的一个或多个符号来增强省电信号/信道解码性能的示意图。
基站在发送省电信号/信道之前，拷贝即将发送的省电信号/信道的一个或多个符号，放在省电信号/信道之前发送。例如，假设省电信号/信道在时间上由一个OFDM符号组成，那么，可以拷贝这一个符号并放在省电信号/信道之前的一个符号上去发送。在一实施例中，可以拷贝这一个符号并放在省电信号/信道之前的一个符号和之前的2个符号上去发送(即，发送了2个符号)。在一实施例中，可以拷贝这一个符号放在省电信号/信道之前的一个符号、之前的2个符号和之前的3个符号上去发送(即，发送了3个符号)。
在一实施例中，可以拷贝这一个符号并放在省电信号/信道之前的第2个符号上去发送(即，隔开了一个符号，共发送了一个符号)。
在一实施例中，可以拷贝这一个符号并放在省电信号/信道之前的第3个符号上去发送(即，隔开了2个符号，共发送了一个符号)。
在一实施例中，可以拷贝这一个符号并放在省电信号/信道之前的一个时隙(Slot)上去发送(即，隔开了一个Slot，即，隔开了14个符号，共发送了一个符号)。
在一实施例中，可以拷贝这一个符号并放在省电信号/信道之前的2个时隙(Slot)上去发送(即，隔开了2个Slot，即，隔开了28个符号，共发送了一个符号)。
假设省电信号/信道在时间上由2个OFDM符号组成，那么，可以拷贝第二个符号并放在省电信号/信道之前的一个符号上去发送。在一实施例中，可以拷贝这2个符号并放在省电信号/信道之前去发送。
假设省电信号/信道在时间上由3个OFDM符号组成，那么，可以拷贝第3个符号并放在省电信号/信道之前的一个符号上去发送。在一实施例中，可以拷贝这3个符号并放在省电信号/信道之前去发送。
在一实施例中，在拷贝的时候，可以翻转省电信号/信道的资源单元(Resource Element，RE)的顺序，以区分真正的省电(Power Saving，PS)信号和拷贝符号。例如，假设省电信号/信道在时间上由一个OFDM符号组成，在频率上由M个子载波组成(编号为0、1、2、3、......、M-2、M-1)，那么，在放置拷贝出来的RE的时候，可以按照相反的顺序来放置(例如，按编号M-1、M-2、M-3、......、2、1、0来放置)。
在一实施例中，在拷贝的时候，可以对省电信号/信道偏移一个固定的相位。例如，对每个RE上的数据都乘以exp(-jθ)。其中，exp()是以自然对数为底的指 数，j是虚数单位，θ为相位。
使用上述技术之后，UE可以把省电信号/信道与之前接收到的拷贝内容进行合并，从而可以提高省电信号/信道的解码性能，进而使UE省电。
在第八个示例性实施方式中，图13为一实施例提供的一种拷贝省电信号/信道的解调参考信号来增强省电信号/信道解码性能的示意图。
基站在发送省电信号/信道之前，拷贝即将发送的省电信号/信道的解调参考信号(DM-RS)，放在省电信号/信道之前发送。例如，假设省电信号/信道在时间上由一个OFDM符号组成，那么，可以拷贝这一个符号里面的DM-RS并放在省电信号/信道之前的一个符号上去发送。在一实施例中，可以拷贝这一个符号并放在省电信号/信道之前的一个符号和之前的2个符号上去发送(即，发送了2个符号的DM-RS)。在一实施例中，可以拷贝这一个符号放在省电信号/信道之前的一个符号、之前的2个符号和之前的3个符号上去发送(即，发送了3个符号DM-RS)。
在一实施例中，可以拷贝这一个符号的DM-RS并放在省电信号/信道之前的第2个符号上去发送(即，隔开了一个符号，共发送了一个符号的DM-RS)。
在一实施例中，可以拷贝这一个符号的DM-RS并放在省电信号/信道之前的第3个符号上去发送(即，隔开了2个符号，共发送了一个符号的DM-RS)。
在一实施例中，可以拷贝这一个符号的DM-RS并放在省电信号/信道之前的前一个Slot上去发送(即，隔开了一个Slot，即，隔开了14个符号，共发送了一个符号的DM-RS)。
在一实施例中，可以拷贝这一个符号的DM-RS并放在省电信号/信道之前的前2个Slot上去发送(即，隔开了2个Slot，即，隔开了28个符号，共发送了一个符号的DM-RS)。
假设省电信号/信道在时间上由2个OFDM符号组成，那么，可以拷贝这2个符号里面的DM-RS并按原有的顺序放在省电信号/信道之前的2个符号上去发送。
假设省电信号/信道在时间上由2个OFDM符号组成，那么，可以拷贝这2个符号里面的全部DM-RS并按先时间后频率的顺序放在省电信号/信道之前的一个符号上去发送(DM-RS的密度一般是1/4或1/3，故可以放得下)。
假设省电信号/信道在时间上由2个OFDM符号组成，那么，可以拷贝这2个符号里面的全部DM-RS并按先时间后频率的顺序放在省电信号/信道之前的 一个Slot的第一个符号上去发送。
假设省电信号/信道在时间上由3个OFDM符号组成，那么，可以拷贝这3个符号里面的DM-RS并按原有的顺序放在省电信号/信道之前的3个符号上去发送。
假设省电信号/信道在时间上由3个OFDM符号组成，那么，可以拷贝这3个符号里面的全部DM-RS并按先时间后频率的顺序放在省电信号/信道之前的一个符号上去发送。
在一实施例中，在拷贝DM-RS的时候，保持原来的初始化种子c init不变。在一实施例中，在拷贝DM-RS的时候，使用实际放置DM-RS符号的位置来重新产生初始化种子c init。
使用上述技术之后，UE可以把省电信号/信道的DM-RS与之前接收到的拷贝的DM-RS内容进行合并，从而可以提高省电信号/信道的解调/解码性能，进而使UE省电。
在第九个示例性实施方式中，首先，基站给UE配置一些配置参数。这些配置参数包括：
在省电信号/信道发送之前发送的参考信号(如，CSI-RS、TRS)的资源；
省电信号/信道使用的资源(如，控制资源集CORESET、搜索空间、搜索空间集)；
在省电信号/信道发送之后发送的参考信号(如，CSI-RS、TRS；TRS可以通过对CSI-RS进行一定的配置得到)的资源；
UE发送参考信号(如，SRS)的资源；
UE发送上行信道(如，PRACH、PUCCH、PUSCH)的资源(如，UE报告CSI的PUCCH资源、UE报告CSI的PUSCH资源)。
其次，基站在省电信号/信道发送之前发送参考信号。
然后，基站在发送省电信号/信道。省电信号/信道的一些比特域触发基站或/和UE做一定的操作。如下面的表22-表24所示。
表22
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000076
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000077

表24
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000079
Figure PCTCN2020109206-appb-000080
在一实施例中，基站直接按照上述表格中的一比特的“1”或2比特的“11”或3比特的“111”来操作。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道没有相应的比特，但UE在成功接收到省电信号/信道之后，按照上述表格中的一比特的“1”或2比特的“11”或3比特的“111”来操作。
在一实施例中，如果省电信号/信道要表达的是“进入睡眠(Go-To-Sleep；GTS)”，那么，基站和UE都直接按照上述表格中的一比特的“0”或2比特的“00”或3比特的“000”来执行。即，没有操作。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道的触发比特域为全“0”时，表示UE没有操作。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道的触发比特域为全“0”时，表示没有CSI触发。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道的触发比特域为全“0”时，表示没有CSI-RS触发(从而没有CSI报告)。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道的触发比特域为全“0”时，表示没有触发CSI报告。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道的触发比特域为全“0”时，表示没有SRS触发。
通过上述操作之后，UE可以测量下行的信道状况。基站在接收到PUSCH或PUCCH之后(其中，CSI报告承载在PUCCH或PUSCH上)，知道了下行的信道状况，也可以推断出上行的信道状况。基站在知道信道状况之后，可以提高基站与UE之间的传输效率，从而能更快地完成数据传输，从而降低了业务 时延，降低了UE的耗电。
在第十个示例性实施方式中，首先，基站给UE配置一些配置参数。这些配置参数包括：
UE发送参考信号(如，SRS)的资源；
UE发送承载在PUCCH上的针对省电信号/信道的确认正确收到(ACK)的资源(如，PUCCH使用format 0或format1；PUCCH相对省电信号/信道的时间偏差；PUCCH相对上述SRS的时间偏差；PUCCH使用的频率资源)。
其次，基站发送省电信号/信道。
然后，UE接收上述省电信号/信道。
再然后，UE如果成功解码上述省电信号/信道，则发送SRS。如果省电信号/信道是针对一组UE的(即，组公共。例如，当省电信号/信道用PS-RNTI来加扰时)，那么UE在第一套SRS资源上发送SRS。如果省电信号/信道是针对单个UE的(即，UE专用。例如，当省电信号/信道用C-RNTI或CS-RNTI或MCS-RNTI来加扰时)，那么UE在第二套SRS资源上发送SRS。
最后，UE如果成功解码上述省电信号/信道，则通过PUCCH发送ACK。如果省电信号/信道是针对一组UE的(即，组公共)，那么UE在第一套PUCCH资源上发送PUCCH(承载ACK)。如果省电信号/信道是针对单个UE的(即，UE专用)，那么UE在第二套PUCCH资源上发送PUCCH。
在一实施例中，如果UE需要针对省电信号/信道发送ACK(承载在PUCCH上)，那么，UE需要PUCCH的前一个Slot发送SRS。在一实施例中，如果UE需要针对省电信号/信道发送ACK(承载在PUCCH上)，那么，UE需要PUCCH的前2个Slot发送SRS(发送一次)。在一实施例中，如果UE需要针对省电信号/信道发送ACK(承载在PUCCH上)，那么，UE需要PUCCH的前一个Slot和前2个Slot都发送SRS(发送2次)。在一实施例中，如果UE需要针对省电信号/信道发送ACK(承载在PUCCH上)，那么，UE需要PUCCH的前一个符号上发送SRS。在一实施例中，如果UE需要针对省电信号/信道发送ACK，那么，UE需要PUCCH的前一个和前2个符号上发送SRS(共发送了2次)。在一实施例中，如果UE需要针对省电信号/信道发送ACK，那么，UE需要PUCCH的前一个至前3个符号上发送SRS(共发送了3次)。在一实施例中，如果UE需要针对省电信号/信道发送ACK，那么，UE需要PUCCH的前一个至前4个符号上发送SRS(共发送了4次)。
通过上述操作之后，UE可以测量下行的信道状况。基站在接收到SRS之后， 知道了上行的信道状况。从而能更好地解码PUCCH。基站在知道省电信号/信道的正确解码和信道状况之后，可以提高基站与UE之间的传输效率，从而能更快地完成数据传输，从而降低了业务时延，降低了UE的耗电。
在第十一个示例性实施方式中，首先，基站给UE配置一些配置参数。这些配置参数包括：
基站发送省电信号/信道的周期(T)和偏差(O)。在一实施例中，基站可以分开配置省电信号/信道中唤醒信号(wake-up signal，WUS)的周期与偏差、省电信号/信道中睡眠信号(go-to-sleep，GTS)的周期与偏差。周期与偏差的单位可以是时隙、无线帧、毫秒、秒。例如，T＝100个时隙，O＝5个时隙(其中，偏差为相对系统帧号为SFN＝0的无线帧的第一个时隙的时间差)。
基站发送省电信号/信道的持续时间(D)。例如，持续发送D＝2个时隙。
基站发送参考信号(如，CSI-RS)的资源。
参考信号(如，CSI-RS)相对省电信号/信道提早发送的时间(B)。例如，B＝2个时隙。
参考信号(如，CSI-RS)相对省电信号/信道推后发送的时间(A)。例如，A＝1个时隙。
UE发送参考信号(如，SRS)的资源。
SRS相对省电信号/信道的时间差(S)。例如，S＝3个时隙。
UE报告CSI的PUCCH资源。
UE报告CSI的PUSCH资源。
针对载波(或服务小区)的最大多输入多输出层数(maxMIMO-Layers)。该参数可作用到属于该载波的BWP上。该参数为正整数。在一实施例中，取值范围为1～8。在一实施例中，该参数可以是针对下行方向的(如，针对PDSCH)。在一实施例中，该参数可以是针对上行方向的(如，针对PUSCH)。
针对一个BWP的最大多输入多输出层数(maxMIMO-Layers-BWP)。该参数为正整数。在一实施例中，取值范围为1～8。在一实施例中，该参数的出现是可选的(即，基站可能不配置这个参数)。如果该参数没有出现，那么，UE应使用针对载波的maxMIMO-Layers来取代maxMIMO-Layers-BWP的值。在一实施例中，如果该参数没有出现，那么，maxMIMO-Layers-BWP取值为2。
针对BWP的最大多输入多输出层数定时器(maxMIMO-Layers-BWP-Timer)。在一实施例中，当一个BWP得到激活时(即， 一个BWP成为活动BWP)，该定时器启动。当该定时器超时时，maxMIMO-Layers-BWP应取maxMIMO-Layers的值。在一实施例中，当该定时器超时时，maxMIMO-Layers-BWP应取min(maxMIMO-Layers,maxMIMO-Layers-BWP)的值。其中，min()为取2个数中的较小者。在一实施例中，当该定时器超时时，maxMIMO-Layers-BWP应取min(2,maxMIMO-Layers-BWP)的值。
其次，基站发送CSI-RS。例如，相对省电信号/信道提早发送B＝2个时隙。
再其次，基站发送省电信号/信道。假设基站使用的子载波间隔为15kHz，那么，一个时隙的长度为1ms，一个无线帧的长度为F＝10ms。假设周期T＝100个时隙＝100ms，偏差O＝5个时隙＝5ms，持续发送D＝2个时隙，那么，基站在每T/F＝100/10＝10个无线帧发送一次省电信号/信道，每次持续发送D＝2个时隙，每次发送在时隙为O和O+1的时刻发送。即，在每个无线帧的时隙5和6上发送。则，基站在满足下列条件时，会发送省电信号/信道：
O＝mod(SFN*F+SLOT,T)；
其中，O为省电信号/信道的发送时间偏差，mod()为取模操作，SFN为系统帧号(取0......1023)，F为一个无线帧的长度，SLOT为当前时隙号码(取0......9)，T为省电信号/信道的发送周期。
在一实施例中，UE在满足上述条件时，会接收省电信号/信道。
在一实施例中，省电信号/信道具有唤醒功能(WUS，通知UE需要接收PDCCH)和睡眠功能(GTS，通知UE不用接收PDCCH)。

另外，UE可以给基站报告UE期望配置的最大MIMO层数(maxMIMO-Layers-Expect)、最大MIMO层数是否是针对BWP来配置(ApplyperBWP)。其中，maxMIMO-Layers-Expect为正整数，取值为1～8；ApplyperBWP为布尔型(BOOL)参数，取值为TRUE(即，针对BWP来配置)或FALSE(即，针对载波来配置)。报告的方式可以是物理层信令、MAC CE或RRC信令。基站在收到该参数后，可以为UE配置合适的参数，从而能省电。在一实施例中，对于频率范围1(FR1；Frequency Range 1；低频，小于6GHz)，maxMIMO-Layers-Expect可以是4。在一实施例中，对于频率范围2(FR2；Frequency Range 2；高频，大于6GHz)，maxMIMO-Layers-Expect可以是2。在一实施例中，对于FR1，ApplyperBWP可以是FALSE(即，针对载波来配置；各个BWP的最大MIMO层数按照载波的配置来)。在一实施例中，对于FR2，ApplyperBWP可以是TRUE。
通过上述操作之后，基站知道了下行信道状况和上行信道状况(及Beam的状况)，从而提高了传输效率，从而能省电。

其次，基站发送CSI-RS。例如，相对省电信号/信道提早发送B＝2个时隙。
再其次，基站发送省电信号/信道。
接着，UE接收省电信号/信道。在一实施例中，省电信号/信道具有唤醒功能(WUS，通知UE需要接收PDCCH)和睡眠功能(GTS，通知UE不用接收PDCCH)。
再接着，基站第2次发送CSI-RS。例如，相对省电信号/信道落后发送A＝1个时隙。

通过上述操作之后，基站知道了下行信道状况和上行信道状况(及Beam的状况)，从而提高了传输效率，从而能省电。
在第十三个示例性实施方式中，首先，基站给UE配置一些配置参数。这些配置参数包括：
省电信号/信道使用的控制资源集(CORESET)。基站可以给省电信号/信道配置多个CORESET(例如，3个)，各个CORESET的波束方向可以不同。在一实施例中，每个BWP都可以给省电信号/信道配置CORESET。在一实施例中，CORESET的最小RB号码是该CORESET所在的BWP的最小RB号码。在一实施例中，CORESET与该CORESET所在的BWP具有相同的起始RB号码。在一实施例中，CORESET的最大RB号码是该CORESET所在的BWP的最大RB号码。在一实施例中，CORESET与该CORESET所在的BWP具有相同的结束RB号码。在一实施例中，CORESET与0号CORESET(即，CORESET 0)具有同样的CORESET大小(即，这2个CORESET包含的RB数相同)。
CSI-RS资源。基站可以给每个波束方向配置一个或多个CSI-RS资源(或CSI-RS资源集)。在一实施例中，基站可以在与用于省电信号/信道的CORESET相同的波束方向上配置一个或多个CSI-RS资源(或CSI-RS资源集)(即，CORESET和CSI-RS的波束方向相同)。在一实施例中，基站可以在与用于省电信号/信道的CORESET上配置一个或多个关联的CSI-RS资源(或CSI-RS资源集)。在一实施例中，这些CSI-RS资源可以是周期性的资源，也可以是半持久的周期性的资源，也可以是非周期的资源。
PUCCH资源。基站可以给UE配置用于报告CSI的一个或多个PUCCH资源(或PUCCH资源集；或PUCCH信道索引)。在一实施例中，基站可以给UE配置用于反馈正确接收到省电信号/信道的一个或多个PUCCH资源。在一实施例中，基站可以给UE配置一个或多个与省电信号/信道关联的PUCCH资源 (或PUCCH资源集；或PUCCH信道索引)。
SRS资源。基站可以给UE配置一个或多个与CSI-RS资源号码(NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceId)关联的SRS资源。在一实施例中，基站可以给UE配置一个或多个与省电信号/信道关联的SRS资源。在一实施例中，基站可以给UE配置与省电信号/信道的CORESET关联的一个或多个SRS资源。在一实施例中，基站可以给UE配置与省电信号/信道的波束方向关联的一个或多个SRS资源。在一实施例中，这些SRS资源可以是周期性的资源，也可以是半持久的周期性的资源，也可以是非周期的资源。
其次，基站在发送省电信号/信道之前发送CSI-RS。由于UE在运动，基站可能不能确切地知道UE在哪一个方向，因此，基站在发送CSI-RS的时候，可以在接下来基站要发的省电信号/信道的波束方向上发送CSI-RS。例如，如果基站将来要在3个波束方向上发送省电信号/信道，那么基站在这3个波束方向上分别发送CSI-RS。例如，基站可以进行波束扫描，一个时刻只发送一个CSI-RS。
再次，基站发送省电信号/信道。基站可以使用波束扫描的方式，一个时刻在一个波束方向上发送一个省电信号/信道。例如，在第一个时隙，基站使用与第一个波束方向对应的CORESET来发送省电信号/信道；在第2个时隙，基站使用与第2个波束方向对应的CORESET来发送省电信号/信道；在第3个时隙，基站使用与第3个波束方向对应的CORESET来发送省电信号/信道。又如，基站在针对不同波束方向的CORESET上依次发送一个省电信号/信道。在一实施例中，基站在多个CORESET上同时发送多个波束方向的省电信号/信道(例如，每个CORESET对应一个波束方向；在一实施例中，一个CORESET可以有多个波束方向)。在一实施例中，基站在上述与CSI-RS对应的波束方向上发送省电信号/信道。
然后，基站再次发送CSI-RS。在一实施例中，这时候发送的CSI-RS可以是由省电信号/信道触发的。在一实施例中，这时候发送的CSI-RS可以是由各自对应的省电信号/信道触发的。在一实施例中，这时候发送的CSI-RS可以是由各自对应的波束方向上的省电信号/信道触发的。在一实施例中，这时候发送的CSI-RS与省电信号/信道一一对应。在一实施例中，这时候发送的CSI-RS的波束方向与省电信号/信道的波束方向一一对应。在一实施例中，这时候发送的CSI-RS使用波束扫描的方式来发送。在一实施例中，这时候发送的CSI-RS使用的波束扫描方式与省电信号/信道使用的波束扫描方式相同。在一实施例中，这时候发送的CSI-RS使用的波束扫描方式与省电信号/信道所在的CORESET使用的波束扫描方式相同。
再然后，UE接收上述CSI-RS和报告CSI。在一实施例中，UE报告全部省 电信号/信道所对应波束方向的CSI。在一实施例中，UE只报告具有最佳信道质量的省电信号/信道所对应波束方向的CSI(在一实施例中，包含波束号码)。在一实施例中，UE按信道质量由好到差的顺序报告省电信号/信道的波束号码。在一实施例中，UE报告具有最佳信道质量的省电信号/信道的波束号码。在一实施例中，报告CSI可以是周期性的CSI报告，也可以是半持久的周期性的CSI报告，也可以是非周期的CSI报告。
接着，基站接收UE的报告。
再接着，UE发送SRS。在一实施例中，UE以波束扫描方式发送SRS。例如，UE在第一个时隙在第一个波束上发送SRS；UE在第2个时隙在第2个波束上发送SRS；UE在第3个时隙在第3个波束上发送SRS。在一实施例中，UE一次在多个波束方向上发送SRS。在一实施例中，该SRS是与上述CSI-RS相关联的。在一实施例中，UE只在具有最佳信道质量的省电信号/信道所对应波束方向上发送SRS。在一实施例中，UE只在具有最佳信道质量的CSI-RS所对应波束方向上发送与上述CSI-RS相关联的SRS。在一实施例中，UE只在具有最佳信道质量的CSI-RS所对应波束方向上以波束扫描方式发送与上述CSI-RS相关联的SRS。
最后，基站接收上述SRS。通过接收CSI报告和测量SRS，基站知道了下行信道状况和波束情况，也知道了上行信道状况和波束情况，从而能提高传输效率，从而能使UE省电。
