Description

一种通信方法及装置 技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域，特别涉及一种通信方法及装置。
背景技术
为了增加传输带宽，满足用户峰值速率提升的要求，现有终端设备已经能够支持接入多个成员载波(component carrier，CC)，以增加传输带宽，如终端设备的载波聚合(carrier aggregation，CA)、双连接(dual-connectivity，DC)等场景。同时，由于毫米波(FR2)带外干扰较小，为了减小终端设备的功耗，实现上可采用一个收发通道同时支持网络设备为终端设备配置的多个CC的收发。另外，因FR2的工作频率较高、频谱资源丰富、且引入了波束赋形(beamforming)和大带宽，使得终端设备的功耗较大，(radio frequency，RF)设计上可采用发射机和接收机共本振(LO)的设计，即支持多个CC收发的收发通道的上行通道(发)和下行通道(收)共用LO，LO位置对应上行和下行所有CC是一致的，从而可降低锁相环(phase locked loop，PLL)给终端设备带来的功耗。
对于多个CC使用一个收发通道进行收发的架构设计，终端设备需要向网络设备上报一个收发通道能够支持的频率跨度等级，以便网络设备为终端设备配置上行CC和下行CC的工作频点和带宽。由于终端设备在上行和下行的频率跨度等级不仅关系到RF，还关系到基带(baseband，BB)，当收发通道的RF和/或BB支持的带宽在上行和下行不同时，收发通道支持的上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级也会不同，因此现有协议定义终端设备在上行和下行分别上报频率跨度等级。
但是，协议并没有规定网络设备为终端设备配置的上行CC和下行CC的带宽和中心频点必须一致，上行CC和下行CC的带宽和中心频点是由网络设备分别为终端设备配置的，彼此之间没有关联，因此上行CC和下行CC的带宽和中心频点很可能配置的不同，由于收发通道共LO，这就导致会存在网络设备为终端设备配置的包含上行CC和下行CC的整体频率跨度，超过终端设备上报的上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级指示的上行最大频率跨度和下行最大频率跨度，出现终端设备上报的能力和网络设备下发的配置不匹配的问题。
发明内容
本申请提供一种通信方法及装置，用以解决现有技术中存在的因终端设备上报的能力信息不完善，出现终端设备上报的能力和网络设备下发的配置不匹配的问题。
第一方面，本申请实施例提供一种通信方法，该方法包括：终端设备生成能力信息，所述能力信息包括所述终端设备的整体频率跨度等级，所述整体频率跨度等级用于指示所述终端设备支持的上行成员载波和下行成员载波在内的最低成员载波与最高成员载波之间的最大频率跨度；所述终端设备将所述能力信息发送给网络设备。
本申请实施例中所描述的由终端设备实现的通信方法，也可以由终端设备的部件实现，如由终端设备中的处理芯片、电路等部件实现。采用上述方法，终端设备向网络设备发送/上报的能力信息中包含用于对终端设备支持的上行成员载波和下行成员载波在内的最低成员载波与最高成员载波之间的最大频率跨度进行指示的整体频率跨度等级，避免了网络 设备仅根据终端设备的上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级，为终端设备配置上行成员载波和下行成员载波，导致的上行成员载波和下行成员载波的整体频率跨度，超出上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级指示的上行最大频率跨度和下行最大频率跨度，终端设备无法支持的问题，从而避免了出现终端设备上报的能力和网络设备下发的配置不匹配的问题。

2)网络设备，可以是指接入网中在空口通过一个或多个小区与无线终端设备通信的设备。所述网络设备可以为无线接入网中的节点，又可以称为基站，还可以称为无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)节点(或设备)。目前，一些网络设备的举例为：gNB、传输接收点(transmission reception point，TRP)、演进型节点B(evolved Node B，eNB)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller，RNC)、节点B(Node B，NB)、基站控制器(base station controller，BSC)、基站收发台(base transceiver station，BTS)、家庭基站(例如，home evolved NodeB，或home Node B，HNB)、基带单元(base band unit，BBU)，或无线保真(wireless fidelity，Wifi)接入点(access point，AP)等。另外，在一种网络结构中，所述网络设备可以包括集中单元(centralized unit，CU)节点和分布单元(distributed unit，DU)节点。CU实现gNB的部分功能，DU实现gNB的部分功能。例如，CU负责处理非实时协议和服务，实现无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)，分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol，PDCP)层的功能。DU负责处理物理层协议和实时服务，实现无线链路控制(radio link control，RLC)层、媒体接入控制(media access control，MAC)层和物理(physical，PHY)层的功能。
3)多CC共用一个收发通道进行收发的架构，以在FR2频段内载波聚合(intra-band CA) 多CC共用一个收发通道(如RF收发通道)进行收发时的下行通道(收)为例，参照图3所示，收发通道的下行通道(收)的模数转换器(analog-to-digital converter，ADC)处理的带宽(bandwidth，BW)包含下行CC以及下行CC之间间隔(gap)的总带宽。如包含CC1和CC2以及CC1和CC2之间gap的总带宽。
另外，由于收发通道的上行通道和下行通道共一个PLL，即LO的位置对于上行CC和下行CC是一致的。参照图4所示，在多CC(包含上行CC和下行CC)共用一个收发通道时，收发通道共支持有8个CC，其中CC1为上行(uplink，UL)CC，CC1至CC8为下行(down link，DL)CC。
4)现有的终端设备的能力信息上报机制。现有终端设备是分上行和下行分别上报频率跨度等级的。
对于不相邻的载波聚合(non-contiguous CA)的频率跨度等级(separation class)，参照表5.3A.4-2(Table 5.3A.4-2)所示，TS 38.101-2协议定义了频率跨度等级表示在下行或上行中，终端设备分别支持的最低CC下边缘和最高CC上边缘之间的最大频率跨度。
Figure PCTCN2019101192-appb-000001
Table 5.3A.4-2
例如：参照表5.3A.4-2所示，终端设备分别可以支持的最低CC下边缘和最高CC上边缘之间的最大频率跨度分为三个等级I、II、III，分别为800MHz，1200MHz和1400MHz。对于non-contiguous CA，终端设备分上行和下行分别上报频率跨度等级后，网络设备为终端设备配置(分配)上行频率跨度等级内和下行频率跨度等级内的non-contiguous CA。
对于连续载波聚合(contiguous CA)，聚合带宽等级(bandwidth class)，定义了contiguous CA下在相应CC数下能够支持的带宽，作为终端设备的能力每个波段组合(per band combination)上报，例如在现有协议TS 38.101中的定义如下表。
Figure PCTCN2019101192-appb-000002
Table 5.3A.4-1
参照表5.3A.4-1所示，对于contiguous CA，以表中bandwidth class为B为例，连续的2个CC可支持到800MHz。目前在TS 38.101协议中bandwidth class也是上下行分别上报的。
然而，上行CC和下行CC的带宽和中心频点是由网络设备分别为终端设备配置的，彼此之间没有关联，因此上行CC和下行CC的带宽和中心频点很可能配置的不同。以non-contiguous CA为例，参照图5A所示，终端设备分开上报上行频率跨度等级(UL separation class)和下行频率跨度等级(DL separation class)，网络设备根据终端设备上报UL separation class和DL separation class为终端设备配置的上行CC和下行CC，可能如图5A所示(上行CC和下行CC中心频点对齐，带宽不相同)，此时包含上行CC和下行CC在内的整体频率跨度为上行CC1的左边缘到下行CC3的右边缘，超出了终端设备上报的UL separation class和DL separation class，使得终端设备无法支持网络设备为终端配置的上 行CC和下行CC。
参照图5B所示(上行CC和下行CC中心频点不对齐，带宽相同)，也会出现终端设备无法支持网络设备为终端配置的上行CC和下行CC的情况。
以contiguous CA为例，参照图6所示，终端设备分开上报上行聚合带宽等级(UL bandwidth class)和下行聚合带宽等级(DL bandwidth class)，网络设备根据终端设备上报的UL Bandwidth class和DL Bandwidth class为终端设备配置的上行CC和下行CC，也可能出现为终端设备配置的包含上行CC和下行CC在内的整体频率跨度超出终端设备上报的UL bandwidth class和DL bandwidth class，终端设备无法支持网络设备为终端配置的上行CC和下行CC的问题。
本申请旨在解决因终端设备上报的能力信息不完善，网络设备根据终端设备上报的能力信息，为终端设备配置的上行成员载波和下行成员载波，终端设备无法支持，出现终端设备上报的能力和网络设备下发的配置不匹配的问题。

【实施例一】
图7为本申请实施例提供的一种通信过程示意图，所述过程包括：
S701：终端设备生成能力信息，所述能力信息包括所述终端设备的整体频率跨度等级。
其中，所述终端设备的整体频率跨度等级用于指示所述终端设备支持的整体最大频率跨度，所述整体最大频率跨度为所述终端设备支持的上行成员载波和下行成员载波在内的最低成员载波与最高成员载波之间的最大频率跨度。
另外，需要理解的，本申请实施例中涉及的终端设备的上行频率跨度等级用于指示终 端设备支持的上行最大频率跨度，终端设备的下行频率跨度等级用于指示终端设备支持的下行最大频率跨度，所述终端设备支持的上行最大频率跨度为所述终端设备支持的上行成员载波的最低成员载波与最高成员载波之间的最大频率跨度；所述终端设备支持的下行最大频率跨度为所述终端设备支持的下行成员载波的最低成员载波与最高成员载波之间的最大频率跨度。对于上行成员载波之间、下行成员载波之间不存在间隔的场景，如contiguous CA，上行频率跨度等级也可称为上行聚合带宽等级，下行频率跨度等级也可称为下行聚合带宽等级。
以如图8A所示的上行成员载波(UL CC)和下行成员载波(DL CC)分布为例(上行载波成员之间、下行载波成员之间存在间隔)，UL CC min表示上述成员载波中的最低上行成员载波、UL CC max表示上述成员载波中的最高上行成员载波，DL CC min表示上述成员载波中的最低下行成员载波、DL CC max表示上述成员载波中的最高下行成员载波，上述成员载波中的最低成员载波(CC min)和最高成员载波(CC max)分别为DL CC min和DL CC max。则上行最大频率跨度为UL CC min与UL CC max之间的上行频率跨度的最大值、下行最大频率跨度为DL CC min与DL CC max之间的下行频率跨度的最大值、整体最大频率跨度为CC min与CC max之间的整体频率跨度的最大值。即本申请实施例中，终端设备上报的整体频率跨度等级，能在网络设备为终端设备配置UL CC和DL CC时，对UL CC和DL CC中CC min与CC max之间的最大频率跨度进行限制。
对于如图8B所示的上行成员载波(UL CC)和下行成员载波(DL CC)分布(上行载波成员之间、下行载波成员之间不存在间隔)，上行最大频率跨度同样为UL CC min与UL CC max之间的上行频率跨度的最大值、下行最大频率跨度同样为DL CC min与DL CC max之间的下行频率跨度的最大值、整体最大频率跨度同样为CC min(UL CC min)与CC max(UL CC max或DL CC max)之间的整体频率跨度的最大值。终端设备上报的整体频率跨度等级，同样能在网络设备为终端设备配置UL CC和DL CC时，对UL CC和DL CC中CC min与CC max之间的最大频率跨度进行限制。
在本申请实施例中，任意两个成员载波之间的频率跨度，是指任意两个成员载波中最低成员载波的下边缘与最高成员载波的上边缘之间的频率跨度，以图8A中CC min与CC max为例，CC min与CC max之间的频率跨度为CC min的下边缘与CC max的上边缘之间的频率跨度，即CC min与CC max之间的最大频率跨度是指CC min的下边缘和CC max的上边缘之间的最大频率跨度。
需要理解是，本申请实施例中，最低成员载波、最高成员载波中涉及的“最低”是指成员载波中最低频率(下边缘)的最低，“最高”是指成员载波中最高频率(上边缘)的最高。
可选的，所述整体频率跨度也可以为所述终端设备支持的第一成员载波与第二成员载波之间的最大频率跨度，其中所述第一成员载波为所述终端设备支持的上行成员载波和下行成员载波在内的最低成员载波，所述第二成员载波为所述终端设备支持的上行成员载波和下行成员载波在内的最高成员载波。参照图8A所示的成员载波分布，则DL CC min为第一成员载波、DL CC max为第二成员载波。
在本申请实施例中，终端设备的整体频率跨度等级指示的整体最大频率跨度，对终端设备支持的上行成员载波和下行成员载波在内的整体频率跨度进行限制，用于避免网络设备仅根据终端设备支持的上行最大频率跨度和支持的下行最大频率跨度(仅根据终端设备 的上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级)，为终端设备分别配置上行成员载波和下行成员载波，导致为终端设备配置的上行成员载波和下行成员载波整体的频率跨度超过终端设备支持的上行最大频率跨度和支持的下行最大频率跨度，导致终端设备共用LO的收发通道无法支持的问题。
基于此，在一种可能的实施中，终端设备支持的整体最大频率跨度，与终端设备支持上行最大频率跨度和下行最大频率跨度中的最大值相等。即终端设备的整体频率跨度等级与终端设备的上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级中的最大频率跨度等级相同，通常为与下行频率跨度等级相同。其中，频率跨度等级的最大，是指频率跨度等级指示的最大频率跨度范围最大。示例的，如果上行频率跨度等级指示的上行最大频率跨度为600MHz，下行频率跨度等级指示的下行最大频率跨度为800MHz，则下行频率跨度等级大于上行频率跨度等级，终端设备的整体频率跨度等级与下行频率跨度等级相同。
另外，为了便于网络设备对终端设备支持的上行最大频率跨度和下行频率跨度的获知，在一种可能的实施中，在终端设备生成的能力信息中还包括终端设备的上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级。
在另一种可能的实施中，在终端设备的整体频率跨度等级与终端设备的上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级中的最大的频率跨度等级相同时，为了节省信令开销，在终端设备生成的能力信息中还包括用于指示终端设备的上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级是否相同的终端类型指示信息，并且仅在终端设备的上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级不同时，在生成的能力信息中才包括终端设备的上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级。
其中，所述终端设备类型指示信息可以包括第一终端设备类型标识(如UE type1)或第二终端设备类型标识(如UE type2)，所述第一终端设备类型标识用于指示终端设备的上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级相同；所述第二终端设备类型标识用于指示终端设备的上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级不同。
具体的，如果终端设备的收发通道的BB、RF及采用的LO等支持的上行最大频率跨度和下行最大频率跨度相同，则说明终端设备的上行频率跨度等级、下行频率跨度等级与整体频率跨度等级相同，网络设备可以通过终端设备的整体频率跨度等级准确获知终端设备的上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级，为了节约信令开销，终端设备生成的能力信息中可以仅包括终端设备的整体频率跨度等级和用于指示终端设备的上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级相同的第一终端设备类型标识。
作为一种示例，如果终端设备支持的上行最大频率跨度为600MHz、终端设备支持的下行最大频率跨度为800MHz，终端设备支持的整体频率跨度等级为800MHz，终端设备用于指示终端设备支持的上行最大频率跨度的上行频率跨度等级、用于指示终端设备支持的下行最大频率跨度的下行频率跨度等级不同，根据终端设备的整体频率跨度无法获知终端设备的上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级，终端设备在生成能力信息时，在能力信息中包括终端设备的整体频率跨度等级、用于指示终端设备的上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级不同的第二终端设备类型标识、及终端设备的上行频率跨度等级和终端设备的下行频率跨度等级。
如果终端设备支持的上行最大频率跨度为800MHz、终端设备支持的下行最大频率跨度为800MHz，终端设备支持的整体频率跨度等级为800MHz，终端设备用于指示终端设备支持的上行最大频率跨度的上行频率跨度等级、用于指示终端设备支持的下行最大频率 跨度的下行频率跨度等级相同，根据终端设备的整体频率跨度可以获知终端设备的上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级，终端设备在生成能力信息时，在能力信息中仅包括终端设备的整体频率跨度等级和用于指示终端设备的上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级相同的第一终端设备类型标识。
S702：终端设备将所述能力信息发送给网络设备，网络设备接收终端设备发送的能力信息。
在一种可能的实施中，所述能力信息可以通过无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)消息发送给网络设备。
S703：网络设备根据所述能力信息，为所述终端设备配置上行成员载波和下行成员载波。
网络设备接收到终端设备发送的能力信息后，根据终端设备的上行频率跨度等级、下行频率跨度等级、整体频率跨度等级，确定终端设备支持的上行最大频率跨度、下行最大频率跨度和整体最大频率跨度，并在终端设备支持的上行最大频率跨度、下行最大频率跨度和整体频率跨度内，为终端设备配置上行成员载波和下行成员载波。
以根据终端设备发送的能力信息，确定终端设备支持的上行最大频率跨度为600MHz、下行最大频率跨度为800MHz、整体最大频率跨度为800MHz为例，网络设备为终端设备配置的上行成员载波和下行成员载波可以如图9A所示，上行成员载波的上行频率跨度小于或等于600MHz，下行成员载波的下行频率跨度小于或等于800MHz，包含上行成员载波和下行成员载波在内的整体频率跨度小于或等于800MHz。通过在能力信息中包含终端设备的整体频率跨度等级，避免了出现如图9B和图9C所示的，上行成员载波的频率跨度小于或等于600MHz，下行成员载波的频率跨度小于或等于800MHz，但是包含上行成员载波和下行成员载波在内的整体频率跨度大于800MHz，导致终端设备无法支持网络设备为终端设备配置的上行成员载波和下行成员载波，出现终端上报的能力和网络下发的配置不匹配的情况。
在一种可能的实施中，终端设备支持的上行成员载波和下行成员载波可以位于一个或多个band组成的频段组合(band combination)上。即网络设备为终端设备配置的上行成员载波和下行成员载波可以在一个band上，也可以在多个band上，可以适用于intra band contiguous CA/DC，intra band non-contiguous CA/DC和inter band CA/DC等场景。
需要理解的，上述能力信息是针对终端设备单一的一个收发通道生成的，可选的，当网络设备的载波频谱跨度较大，如在intra band CA/DC和/或inter band CA/DC等场景的频谱跨度增大，终端设备无法通过一个收发通道来支持时，终端设备也可以通过多通道支持，终端设备针对自身的一个或多个收发通道生成与所述一个或多个收发通道一一对应的一个或多个能力信息，并发送给网络设备，网络设备根据终端设备上报的一个或多个收发通道一一对应的一个或多个能力信息，为所述终端设备的一个或多个收发通道一一配置上行成员载波和下行成员载波，以提高网络设备与终端设备之间的通信能力。
示例的：对于多收发通道的能力信息的发送/上报，终端设备可以以数组的方式实现，以收发通道1和收发通道2为例，终端设备可以向网络设备发送包含separation class1+separation class2的RRC消息，上报终端设备的收发通道1和收发通道2的能力信息，其中separation class1表示终端设备的收发通道1的能力信息，separation class2表示终端设备的收发通道2的能力信息。网络设备根据separation class1为终端设备的收发通道1 配置上行成员载波和下行成员载波，根据separation class1为终端设备的收发通道2配置上行成员载波和下行成员载波。
另外，对于inter band CA/CD等场景，终端设备可以采用频段组合的方式，上报终端设备在频段组合上的上行频率跨度和下行频率跨度，从而丰富能力信息上报的方式，并节约信令开销。下面结合实施例具体描述。
【实施例二】
图10为本申请实施例提供的一种通信过程示意图，所述过程包括：
S1001：终端设备生成能力信息，所述能力信息包括所述终端设备在多个band组成的频段组合上的上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级。
在本申请实施例中，对于inter band CA/DC等存在多个band的场景，如多个band的频率相邻，终端设备在向网络设备上报能力信息时，可以采用频段组合粒度(per band combination)的方式实现，即终端设备针对多个band组成的频段组合，整体上报一个上行频率跨度等级和下行频率跨度等级。
示例的，以频段组合为band1、band2、band3为例，终端设备生成包括在(band1+band2+band3)上的上行频率跨度等级、(band1+band2+band3)上的下行频率跨度等级信息的能力信息。
S1002：终端设备将所述能力信息发送给网络设备，网络设备接收终端设备发送的能力信息。
在一种可能的实施中，所述能力信息可以通过RRC消息发送给网络设备。
S1003：网络设备根据所述能力信息，为所述终端设备配置上行成员载波和下行成员载波。
网络设备接收到终端设备发送的能力信息后，根据终端设备在频段组合上的上行频率跨度和下行频率跨度，为频段组合中的多个band配置上行成员载波和下行成员载波。
示例的，终端设备发送的能力信息包括在频段组合(band1+band2+band3)上的上行频率跨度等级为“II”，在频段组合(band1+band2+band3)上的下行频率跨度等级为“II”，网络设备在上行频率跨度等级“II”内，为终端设备在band1、band2和band3配置上行成员载波，在下行频率跨度等级“II”内，为终端设备在band1、band2和band3配置下行成员载波。
需要理解的是，上述能力信息是针对终端设备单一的一个收发通道生成的，可选的，当网络设备的载波频谱跨度较大，如inter band CA/DC等场景的频谱跨度增大，终端设备无法通过一个收发通道来支持时，终端设备也可以通过多通道支持，终端设备针对自身的一个或多个收发通道生成与所述一个或多个收发通道一一对应的一个或多个能力信息，并发送给网络设备，网络设备根据终端设备上报的一个或多个收发通道一一对应的一个或多个能力信息，为所述终端设备的一个或多个收发通道一一配置上行成员载波和下行成员载波，以提高网络设备与终端设备之间的通信能力。
