Description

获取信号质量信息的方法、设备及系统 技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域，尤其涉及获取信号质量信息的方法、设备及系统。
背景技术
在移动通信系统的切换流程中，如图1所示，源基站在确定目标小区后，向目标小区所属的目标基站发送切换请求；若目标基站允许终端设备接入目标小区，则向源基站发送切换请求确认，其中携带用于接入目标小区的相关信息；之后，源基站向终端设备发送切换命令，其中携带来自目标基站的用于接入目标小区的相关信息；终端设备收到该切换请求后，根据其携带的相关信息对目标小区进行随机接入(random access，RACH)。
目前，源基站主要根据终端设备上报的对其服务小区的相邻小区测量的信号质量信息，确定目标小区，而相邻小区的信号质量信息由终端设备根据相邻小区对应的同步信号(synchronization signal，SS)/物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel，PBCH)块(SSB)等信号测量得到。
然而，若基站不发送其控制的某个小区对应的SSB，则终端设备无法测量得到该小区的信号质量信息，从而导致源基站无法获取该小区的信号质量信息，进而无法根据该小区的信号质量信息控制终端设备进行切换。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种获取信号质量信息的方法、设备及系统，在目标网络设备不发送其控制的第一小区的SSB的情况下，可以使得源网络设备获取第一小区的信号质量信息，从而使得源网络设备可以根据第一小区的信号质量信息进行切换相关处理。
为达到上述目的，本申请的实施例采用如下技术方案：
第一方面，提供了一种获取信号质量信息的方法及相应的装置。该方案中，源网络设备获取终端设备的探测参考信号SRS的配置信息，并向目标网络设备和终端设备发送该SRS的配置信息，该SRS的配置信息用于配置终端设备发送SRS的资源，并用于配置目标网络设备在该资源监测该SRS；源网络设备接收来自目标网络设备的第一小区监测到的SRS的信号质量信息，其中，第一小区为目标网络设备控制的小区，第一小区为节能小区，节能小区指不发送SSB的小区。
基于该方案，由于源网络设备向目标网络设备发送终端设备的SRS的配置信息，可以使得目标网络设备的第一小区监测该SRS，并将第一小区监测到的SRS的信号质量信息发送给源网络设备，从而使得源网络设备获取第一小区的信号质量信息，进而使得源网络设备可以根据该信号质量信息控制终端设备进行切换。
在一种可能的设计中，源网络设备获取终端设备的SRS的配置信息，包括：源网络设备确定终端设备的SRS的配置信息；或者，源网络设备接收来自第一网络设备的该第一网络设备确定的终端设备的SRS的配置信息，其中，该第一网络设备可以为网络控制器。
在一种可能的设计中，该获取信号质量信息的方法还包括：源网络设备根据第一小区监测到的该SRS的信号质量信息，确定第一小区为目标小区。
基于该方案，可以使得源网络设备根据第一小区监测到的SRS的信号质量信息，确定目标小区，从而使得源网络设备确定可以将终端设备切换至第一小区。
在一种可能的设计中，该获取信号质量信息的方法还包括：源网络设备向目标网络设备发送第一消息，该第一消息用于请求将终端设备切换至第一小区；源网络设备接收来自目标网络设备的第二消息，第二消息用于指示允许终端设备切换至第一小区。
基于该方案，一方面，可以使得源网络设备控制终端设备切换至第一小区，从而使得终端设备能够切换至原本不发送SSB的小区；另一方面，在目标网络设备与源网络设备通过有线接口连接的情况下，目标网络设备可以通过该有线接口将第一小区的信号质量信息发送给源网络设备，使得源网络设备进行切换判决，而无需节能小区发送SSB使得终端设备通过无线接口测量后再上报给源网络设备进行切换判决，从而节省空口资源开销。
在一种可能的设计中，上述第一消息为切换请求消息。
在一种可能的设计中，上述第二消息为切换请求确认消息。
在一种可能的设计中，源网络设备为ng-eNB或者下一代基站gNB。
在一种可能的设计中，源网络设备为集中单元CU。此时，上述第一方面的各种实现方式中源网络设备的动作可以由CU实现。
第二方面，提供了一种获取信号质量信息的方法及相应的装置。该方案中，目标网络设备接收来自源网络设备的终端设备的探测参考信号SRS的配置信息，目标网络设备的第一小区根据该SRS的配置信息监测该SRS，第一小区为该目标网络设备控制的小区，第一小区为节能小区，节能小区为不发送SSB的小区；目标网络设备向源网络设备发送第一小区监测到的该SRS的信号质量信息。其中，第二方面所带来的技术效果可参见上述第一方面所带来的技术效果，此处不再赘述。

具体实施方式
为了方便理解本申请实施例的技术方案，首先给出本申请相关技术或名词的简要介绍如下。
第一、下行物理信道：
在新无线(new radio，NR)系统(即通常所说的第五代(5th generation，5G)系统)中，下行物理信道大致分为如下三类：物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel，PBCH)，通常用于承载系统广播消息；物理下行控制信道(physical download control channel，PDCCH)，通常用于控制信令的传输，例如上下行调度信令、功率控制信令等；物理下行共享信道(physical download shared channel，PDSCH)，通常用于承载下行用户数据。
第二、物理信号：
本申请实施例中，主要对以下几种物理信号进行简要介绍：
1、主同步信号(primary synchronization signal，PSS)/辅同步信号(secondary synchronization signal，SSS)：主要用于时频同步、初始波束选择、小区信号质量的测量、无线资源管理(radio resource management，RRM)的测量等。
其中，主同步信号/辅同步信号通常称为主/辅同步信号。小区信号质量主要通过SSS测量，小区信号质量信息可以用以下一项或多项来指示：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)、参考信号信噪比(reference signal-signal to interference and noise ratio，RS-SINR)。
2、同步信号/物理广播信道块(SS/PBCH block，SSB)：由PSS、SSS、和PBCH组合在一起构成。SSB周期发送，在时域上占用4个正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiple，OFDM)符号，按照从0-3升序编号，也就是PSS、SSS、和PBCH 在四个连续的OFDM符号内传输构成SSB；SSB在频域上占用20个资源块(resource block，RB)。
3、主信息块(master information block，MIB)：在SSB的PBCH中承载的主要广播信息块，其中包括最主要的系统信息。
4、剩余最小系统信息(remaining minimum system information，RMSI)：RMSI可以理解为通常所说的系统信息块(system information block，SIB)1，即SIB1。RMSI是终端设备接入小区的必要系统信息。RMSI周期发送，其发送周期与SSB的周期相同。
第三、小区信号质量信息：
本申请实施例中，小区信号质量信息可以理解为：终端设备接收的来自网络设备的该小区的SSB的信号质量信息；或者，也可以理解为：网络设备的该小区接收的来自终端设备的探测参考信号(sounding reference signal，SRS)的信号质量信息，其中，该小区为该网络设备控制的小区。
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图，对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述。其中，在本申请的描述中，除非另有说明，“/”表示前后关联的对象是一种“或”的关系，例如，A/B可以表示A或B；本申请中的“和/或”仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系，表示可以存在三种关系，例如，A和/或B，可以表示：单独存在A，同时存在A和B，单独存在B这三种情况，其中A，B可以是单数或者复数。并且，在本申请的描述中，除非另有说明，“多个”是指两个或多于两个。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达，是指的这些项中的任意组合，包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如，a，b，或c中的至少一项(个)，可以表示：a，b，c，a-b，a-c，b-c，或a-b-c，其中a，b，c可以是单个，也可以是多个。另外，为了便于清楚描述本申请实施例的技术方案，在本申请的实施例中，采用了“第一”、“第二”等字样对功能和作用基本相同的相同项或相似项进行区分。本领域技术人员可以理解“第一”、“第二”等字样并不对数量和执行次序进行限定，并且“第一”、“第二”等字样也并不限定一定不同。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统。例如：正交频分多址
(orthogonal frequency-division multiple access，OFDMA)、单载波频分多址(single carrier FDMA，SC-FDMA)、5G通信系统和其它系统等。术语“系统”可以和“网络”相互替换。5G通信系统是正在研究当中的下一代通信系统。其中，5G通信系统包括非独立组网(non-standalone，NSA)的5G移动通信系统，独立组网(standalone，SA)的5G移动通信系统，或者，NSA的5G移动通信系统和SA的5G移动通信系统。此外，通信系统还可以适用于面向未来的通信技术，都适用本申请实施例提供的技术方案。上述适用本申请的通信系统仅是举例说明，适用本申请的通信系统不限于此，在此统一说明，以下不再赘述。

以图2所示的源网络设备20和目标网络设备30进行交互为例，本申请实施例中，源网络设备确定终端设备对应的探测参考信号SRS的配置信息后，向目标网络设备发送该SRS的配置信息。目标网络设备在接收来自源网络设备的该SRS的配置信息后，第一小区根据该SRS的配置信息监测该SRS，并向源网络设备发送第一小区监测到的该SRS的信号质量信息。相应的，源网络设备接收来自目标网络设备的第一小区监测到的该SRS的信号质量信息，其中，第一小区为目标网络设备控制的小区，第一小区为节能小区，节能小区为不发送SSB的小区。
基于该方案，由于源网络设备向目标网络设备发送终端设备对应的SRS的配置信息，可以使得目标网络设备的第一小区监测该SRS，并将第一小区监测到的SRS的信号质量信息发送给源网络设备，从而使得源网络设备获得第一小区监测到的SRS的信号质量信息，进而可以根据第一小区监测到的SRS的信号质量信息进行切换相关处理。

可以理解的，本申请的各个实施例中网络设备与终端设备交互机制可以进行适当的变形，以适用CU或者DU与终端设备之间的交互；源网络设备与目标网络设备的交互机制可以进行适当的变形，以适用CU与CU之间的交互。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中的第一小区为目标网络设备控制的小区，且假设在本申请实施例提供的方法执行之前，第一小区为节能小区，或者说第一小区处于节能状态，节能小区指不发送SSB的小区，即在本申请实施例提供的方法执行之前，目标网络设备的第一小区不发送SSB，从而终端设备无法测量第一小区的SSB并将其测量信息上报给源网络设备，进而，源网络设备也无法基于终端设备的上报获取第一小区的信号质量信息，其中，第一小区发送的SSB用于终端设备与第一小区进行同步并接收第一小区广播的信息，第一小区发送的SSB也可以理解为第一小区的SSB。在本申请实施例提供的方法执行的过程中，目标网络设备的第一小区会发送SSB，此时，第一小区的状态发生变化，即第一小区处于未节能的状态。其中，目标网络设备的第一小区何时开始发送SSB或者说第一小区的状态何时发生变化将在下述实施例中详细阐述，在此不再赘述。
如图4所示，为本申请实施例提供的一种获取信号质量信息的方法，该获取信号质量信息的方法包括如下步骤：
S401、源网络设备获取终端设备的SRS的配置信息。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中，除特殊说明外，SRS的配置信息指源网络设备获取的该终端设备的SRS的配置信息，SRS指该终端设备发送的SRS，在此统一说明，下述实施例中不再赘述。
示例性地，源网络设备获取终端设备的SRS的配置信息可以包括：源网络设备可以确定终端设备的SRS的配置信息，或者可以包括：源网络设备接收来自其他网络设备(如网络控制器等)所确定的终端设备的SRS的配置信息。该SRS的配置信息可以包括以下一项或多项：周期信息、时域资源配置信息、频域资源配置信息、SRS的发送天线端口数量等，示例性的，周期信息用于指示SRS的发送周期，时域资源配置信 息例如可以包括起始符号位置、符号个数等，频域资源配置信息例如可以包括频域位置、频率偏置等。
S402、源网络设备向目标网络设备发送该终端设备的SRS的配置信息。相应的，目标网络设备接收来自源网络设备的该终端设备的SRS的配置信息。
其中，该SRS的配置信息用于配置终端设备发送SRS的资源，并用于配置目标网络设备在该资源监测该SRS。
可以理解的是，为了目标网络设备能够监测到终端设备发送的该SRS，源网络设备还需要配置终端设备发送该SRS，因此，本申请实施例提供的获取信号质量信息的方法还可以包括如下步骤S403-S404。
S403、源网络设备向终端设备发送SRS的配置信息。相应的，终端设备接收来自源网络设备的SRS的配置信息。
可以理解的是，本申请实施例中步骤S402和步骤S403之间没有严格的执行顺序，可以先执行步骤S402，再执行步骤S403；或者，可以先执行步骤S403，再执行步骤S402；或者，还可以同时执行步骤S402和步骤S403，本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。

可选的，为了实现第三小区中多个方向的覆盖，第三小区发送的SSB可以包括N个SSB，该N个SSB中的每个SSB均包括第三小区的相关信息，该N个SSB可以通过N个不同方向的波束来发送，其中，N个SSB与N个不同方向的波束一一对应，即一个方向的波束用于承载一个SSB。相应的，终端设备可以在N个方向的波束上测量第三小区的N个SSB，从而获取第三小区的N个SSB的信号质量信息和与该N个SSB的信号质量信息一一对应的波束信息，其中，第三小区的某个SSB的信号质量信息所对应的波束信息所指示的波束用于承载该SSB。
其中，N为大于1的正整数，第三小区的第一SSB包括第三小区的N个SSB中的一个或多个SSB，第一波束信息指示的波束用于承载第三小区的该第一SSB，第三小区的某个SSB的信号质量信息指示第三小区在该SSB的波束方向上的信号质量信息。

可选的，由于目标网络设备的第一小区不发送SSB，因此终端设备无法获取第一小区的SSB的信号质量信息，也无法将其上报至源网络设备，从而使得源网络设备无法将第一小区确定为目标小区。而目标网络设备可以获知第一小区的相关信息，例如，第一小区的覆盖范围与第三小区的覆盖范围存在重叠部分，因此，在目标网络设备估计出终端设备所处的位置后，可以根据该位置确定允许终端设备切换至第一小区。
可选的，目标网络设备根据终端设备所处的位置，确定允许终端设备切换至第一小区，可以包括：在目标网络设备包括第一TRP和第三TRP，且第一TRP控制第一 小区，第三TRP控制第三小区的情况下，目标网络设备确定第一距离小于第二距离，其中，第一距离为终端设备所处的位置与第一TRP之间的距离，第二距离为终端设备与第三TRP之间的距离；或者，可以包括：在目标网络设备包括第一TRP和第三TRP，且第一TRP控制第一小区，第三TRP控制第三小区的情况下，目标网络设备确定第一距离大于第二距离，但第三小区的负载量大于第一小区的负载量；或者，可以包括：目标网络设备确定在终端设备所处的位置处，终端设备与第一小区之间的信道质量大于终端设备与第三小区之间的信道质量；或者，可以包括：目标网络设备确定第一小区在终端设备所处的位置处为高频小区，第三小区在终端设备所处的位置处为低频小区。

其中，本实施例中，当目标网络设备确定允许终端设备切换至第一小区时，目标网络设备的第一小区开始发送SSB，以使终端设备能够根据该第一小区的SSB接入第一小区。也就是说，本实施中，当目标网络设备确定允许终端设备切换至第一小区时，目标网络设备的第一小区开始发送SSB，或者说，当目标网络设备确定允许终端设备切换至第一小区时，第一小区的状态发生变化，由节能状态变化为非节能的状态。
可选的，终端设备在接收到第三消息后，可以根据第一小区的标识和/或第一小区的SSB的配置信息接收第一小区的SSB，并根据第一小区的SSB在第一小区进行随机接入，以便与第一小区进行后续通信。
基于该方案，由于目标网络设备能够基于终端设备测量得到的第三小区的SSB的信号质量信息和波束信息，确定允许将终端设备切换至第一小区，并向源网络设备指示允许将终端设备切换至第一小区，从而可以使源网络设备控制终端设备切换至第一小区。
可选的，在本申请实施例的另一种实施场景下，目标网络设备在接收来自源网络设备的第一消息后，其控制的多个小区可以发送SSB，以便终端设备测量该多个小区的SSB，并选择其中一个小区接入。也就是说，在该实现方式中，终端设备可以不根据源网络设备的指示切换至第一小区。其中，目标网络设备在接收来自源网络设备的第一消息之前不发送该多个小区的SSB，即目标网络设备基于第一消息的触发而发送 该多个小区的SSB。
可以理解的是，当目标网络设备为DU或者目标网络设备由CU和DU组成时，上述步骤S601-S607中由目标网络设备的第一小区或第三小区实现的动作，可以分别由控制第一小区的DU或控制第三小区的DU实现；当目标网络设备为CU或者目标网络设备由CU和DU组成时，上述步骤S601-S607中目标网络设备和源网络设备交互的动作，可以由CU实现。
