Description

通信方法及装置 技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种通信方法及装置。
背景技术
终端设备在开机之后或者从连接态变成空闲态或非激活态之后，需要进行时频跟踪，和无线资源测量。具体的，终端设备可以通过测量同步信号块(synchronization signal block，SSB)达到时频跟踪，无线资源测量的目的。但是终端设备在测量SSB的过程中会出现功耗较高的问题。
发明内容
本申请提供一种通信方法及装置，用于降低终端设备的功耗。
为解决上述问题，本申请采用如下技术方案：
第一方面，本申请提供一种通信方法，该方法包括：在属于同一个寻呼机会(paging ocassion，PO)的物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel，PDCCH)监测机会上，网络设备发送至少一个下行控制信息(downlink control information，DCI)，至少一个DCI中的全部或部分包括第一指示信息，每个第一指示信息用于指示至少一个信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal，CSI-RS)可用，至少一个CSI-RS与至少一个SSB对应，至少一个SSB与用于发送第一指示信息所在的DCI的PDCCH监测机会对应；网络设备发送被第一指示信息指示为可用的CSI-RS。
第一方面提供的方法，网络设备通过SSB对应的PDCCH监控机会上发送的DCI，指示与该SSB对应的CSI-RS可用，终端设备根据该DCI确定可用的CSI-RS。终端设备接收该可用的CSI-RS，使得终端设备可以进一步测量该CSI-RS，以达到时频跟踪，和无线资源测量的目的。由于终端设备进行CSI-RS测量时产生的功耗小于终端设备进行SSB测量时产生的功耗，因此，本申请提供的通信方法可以降低终端设备的功耗。
一种可能的实现方式中，在发送至少一个DCI之前，网络设备通过系统信息块(system information block，SIB)或高层信令为终端设备配置N个CSI-RS，N个CSI-RS包括被第一指示信息指示为可用的CSI-RS。这样，网络设备可以为处于空闲态或者非激活态的终端设备配置该N个CSI-RS。
一种可能的实现方式中，网络设备通过SIB或高层信令为终端设备配置N个CSI-RS与M个SSB之间的对应关系，M个SSB为网络设备实际发送的SSB。这样，网络设备可以为处于空闲态或者非激活态的终端设备配置该N个CSI-RS与M个SSB之间的对应关系。
一种可能的实现方式中，N个CSI-RS与M个SSB之间的对应关系与N个CSI-RS在用于配置N个CSI-RS的SIB或高层信令中的顺序相关；或者，N个CSI-RS与M个SSB之间的对应关系与N个CSI-RS的标识相关。这样，网络设备可以根据N个CSI-RS的SIB或高层信令中的顺序，或者N个CSI-RS的标识确定N个CSI-RS与M 个SSB之间的对应关系。
一种可能的实现方式中，至少一个CSI-RS与至少一个SSB具有空间位置关系。这样，网络设备指示与SSB具有空间位置关系的CSI-RS可用，可以使得终端设备接收并测量与SSB具有空间位置关系的CSI-RS，保证测量CSI-RS与测量SSB达到相同的测量目的。
一种可能的实现方式中，至少一个CSI-RS与至少一个SSB具有准共址(Quasi-collocation，QCL)-类型D关系；或者，至少一个CSI-RS与至少一个SSB的波束方向相同或相近。

为了使得本申请更加的清楚，首先对本申请涉及到的部分概念做简单介绍。
1、空闲(idle)态
空闲态是指终端设备在小区中完成驻留，但是未进行随机接入过程时终端设备所处的状态。终端设备通常在开机之后，或者在RRC释放之后进入空闲态。
2、连接(connected)态
连接态是指终端设备完成随机接入过程之后，未进行RRC释放时所处的状态。终端设备在连接态可以与网络设备进行数据传输。
终端设备在处于空闲态时，在终端设备完成随机接入过程之后，终端设备的状态迁移至连接态。终端设备在处于连接态时，完成RRC释放之后，终端设备的状态迁移至空闲态。
3、非激活态
非激活态是处于连接态和空闲态之间的状态。
处于非激活态的终端设备，空口的用户面承载已被暂停(suspend)，无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)-核心网(core network，CN)之间的用户面承载和控制面承载仍被维护。当终端设备发起呼叫或业务请求时，需要激活空口的用户面承载，并重用已有的RAN-CN之间的用户面承载和控制面承载。
4、CSI-RS
CSI-RS用于对波束质量进行评估。由于波束可以和CSI-RS资源对应。终端设备可以通过对CSI-RS资源进行测量和评估，确定CSI-RS资源的质量。终端设备将测量和评估得到的CSI-RS资源的质量上报给网络设备，网络设备就可以根据CSI-RS资源的质量，以及波束和CSI-RS资源的对应关系，确定波束的质量。
为了确定波束的质量，网络设备需要向终端设备发送测量配置信息，该测量配置信息主要包括资源配置信息和上报配置信息两部分。
资源配置信息是测量资源相关的信息，在协议里通过三级结构(资源配置resourceConfig-资源集resourceSet-资源resource)进行配置。网络设备可以为终端设备配置一个或多个资源配置，每个资源配置包括一个或多个资源集，每个资源集可以包括一个或多个资源。每个资源配置/资源集/资源中都包括一个自己的索引。此外，还包括一些其他参数，如资源的周期，资源对应的信号类型等。
5、非连续接收(discontinuous reception，DRX)模式
DRX模式是终端设备的接收信号的一种模式，目的是为了降低终端设备的功耗， 终端设备可以根据网络设备的配置决定是否采用DRX模式接收信号。当终端设备采用DRX模式接收信号时，在一个DRX周期内，终端设备在激活时间(active time)内可以接收CSI-RS，并进行信道状态信息(channel state information，CSI)测量，而在激活时间以外，终端设备将进入睡眠时间，在睡眠时间内，终端设备将不接收CSI-RS，也不进行CSI测量。
6、paging消息
paging消息也叫寻呼消息，用于触发终端设备建立RRC连接，或者通知终端设备系统信息更新等。paging消息的内容是通过物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel，PDSCH)发送给终端设备的，而PDSCH是通过寻呼无线网络临时标识(paging radio network temporary identifier，P-RNTI)加扰的PDCCH调度的。
终端设备获取paging消息的过程为：处于空闲态或者非激活态的终端设备周期性的唤醒，在终端设备唤醒之后，监测通过P-RNTI加扰的PDCCH，解析PDCCH中的DCI确定PDSCH的位置(例如，时频位置)信息。终端设备根据PDSCH的位置信息接收PDSCH，终端设备获取PDSCH中的paging消息。终端设备确定paging消息pagingrecordList是否包括自身的终端设备标识。若是，则终端设备执行相应的操作(例如，建立RRC连接；或者，由非激活态退回空闲态等)。
7、PO
在本申请实施例中，PO是一个或者多个PDCCH monitoring occasions(PDCCH监控机会)的集合。一个PO包括一个或多个时隙。网络设备在PO包括的时隙中发送PDCCH。
处于空闲态或者非激活态的终端设备在每个DRX周期内监测一个PO内网络设备发送的PDCCH。
8、波束(beam)
波束是一种通信资源。波束可以是宽波束，或者窄波束，或者其他类型波束。形成波束的技术可以是波束赋形技术或者其他技术手段。波束赋形技术可以具体为数字波束赋形技术，模拟波束赋形技术，混合数字/模拟波束赋形技术。不同的波束可以认为是不同的资源。通过不同的波束可以发送相同的信息或者不同的信息。可选的，可以将具有相同或者类似的通信特征的多个波束视为是一个波束。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，例如，发送波束可以是指信号经天线发送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。可以理解的是，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。
波束可以分为网络设备的发送波束和接收波束，与终端设备的发送波束和接收波束。网络设备的发送波束用于描述网络设备发送侧波束赋形信息，网络设备的接收波束用于描述网络设备接收侧波束赋形信息。终端设备的发送波束用于描述终端设备发送侧波束赋形信息，终端设备接收波束用于描述终端设备接收侧波束赋形信息。也即波束用于描述波束赋形信息。
波束可以对应时间资源、空间资源、频域资源中的一个或多个。
可选地，波束还可以与参考信号资源(例如，波束赋形的参考信号资源)，或者 波束赋形信息对应。
可选地，波束还可以与网络设备的参考信号资源关联的信息对应，其中参考信号可以为CSI-RS，SSB，解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal，DMRS),相位跟踪信号(phase tracking reference signal，PTRS)，追踪参考信号(tracking reference signal，TRS)等，参考信号资源关联的信息可以是参考信号资源标识，或者QCL信息(特别是type D类型的QCL)等。其中，参考信号资源标识对应了之前基于该参考信号资源测量时建立的一个收发波束对，通过该参考信号资源索引，终端设备可推断波束信息。
可选地，波束还可以与空域滤波器(spatial filter，spatial domain filter),空域传输滤波器(spatial domain transmission filter)对应。
9、QCL
QCL信息用于指示两种参考信号之间的QCL关系，其中目标参考信号一般可以是DMRS，CSI-RS等。源参考信号一般可以是CSI-RS、TRS、SSB等。应理解满足QCL关系的两个参考信号或信道的空间特性参数是相同的，从而基于该源参考信号资源索引可推断出目标参考信号的空间特性参数。其中，空间特性参数包括以下参数中的一种或多种：
入射角(angle of arrival，AoA)、主(Dominant)AoA、平均AoA、AoA的功率角度谱(power angular spectrum，PAS)、出射角(angle of departure，AoD)、主AoD、平均AoD、AoD的功率角度谱、终端设备发送波束成型、终端设备接收波束成型、空间信道相关性、基站发送波束成型、基站接收波束成型、平均信道增益、平均信道时延(average delay)、时延扩展(delay spread)、多普勒扩展(Doppler spread)、多普勒频移(Doppler shift)、空间接收参数(spatial Rx parameters)等。
这些空间特性参数描述了源参考信号与目标参考信号的天线端口间的空间信道特性，有助于终端设备根据该QCL信息完成接收侧波束赋形或接收侧处理过程。应理解，终端设备可以根据QCL信息指示的源参考信号的接收波束信息，接收目标参考信号。
其中，为了节省网络设备侧对终端设备侧的QCL信息指示开销，作为一种可选的实施方式，网络设备侧可以指示PDCCH或PDSCH的DMRS与终端设备之前上报的多个参考信号资源中的一个或多个是满足QCL关系的，如，该参考信号可以是CSI-RS。这里，每一个上报的CSI-RS资源索引对应了一个之前基于该CSI-RS资源测量时建立的一个收发波束对。应理解满足QCL关系的两个参考信号或信道的接收波束信息是相同的，从而基于该参考信号资源索引终端设备可推断出接收PDCCH或PDSCH的接收波束信息。
现有标准中定义了四种类型的QCL，网络设备可以同时给终端设备配置一个或多种类型的QCL，该4种类型的QCL，分别为：
“QCL-TypeA”(即QCL-类型A)：{多普勒频移,多普勒扩展,平均时延,时延扩展}。
“QCL-TypeB”(即QCL-类型B)：{多普勒频移,多普勒扩展}。
“QCL-TypeC”(即QCL-类型C)：{多普勒频移,平均时延}。
“QCL-TypeD”(即QCL-类型D)：{空域接收参数}。
其中，“QCL-TypeD”可以描述具有QCL关系的两个参考信号的波束类似，部分信道参数相似或相同。
10、SSB
SSB包含主同步信号(primary synchronization signal，PSS)、辅同步信号(secondary synchronization signal，SSS)和物理广播信道(physical broadcast bhannel，PBCH)中的至少一个。SSB可以用于时频跟踪，无线资源测量等。
在现有技术中，处于空闲态或者非激活态的终端设备需要测量SSB，以达到时频跟踪，无线资源测量的目的。但是，由于网络设备发送SSB在空间中分布较为稀疏，因此，终端设备可能需要多次测量SSB，才能完成SSB测量。这将导致处于空闲态或者非激活态的终端设备进行SSB测量时产生的功耗较高。
基于此，本申请提出了一种处于空闲态或者非激活态的终端设备通过测量CSI-RS，达到时频跟踪，无线资源测量的目的的方法。由于网络设备发送的CSI-RS在空间中分布的密集程度通常大于SSB在空间中分布的密集程度。这样，终端设备也就无需多次测量CSI-RS即可达到与测量SSB相同的目的(即时频跟踪，和无线资源测量)，进而使得终端设备进行CSI-RS测量时产生的功耗小于终端设备进行SSB测量时产生的功耗。
需要指出的是，处于空闲态或者非激活态的终端设备进行SSB测量的功耗较高的原因是多方面的，除了上述所说的SSB数量少，在空间中分布较为稀疏的原因之外，还存在例如终端设备使用SSB进行波束测量时的周期较长等原因，本申请对此不再赘述。
为解决现有技术中处于空闲态或者非激活态的终端设备进行SSB测量时产生的功耗较高的问题，本申请提供了一种通信方法，网络设备可以通过PDCCH中的DCI向终端设备指示SSB对应的可用的CSI-RS。终端设备确定可用的CSI-RS之后，可以接收该可用的CSI-RS，并测量该CSI-RS，以达到时频跟踪，和无线资源测量的目的。由于终端设备进行CSI-RS测量时产生的功耗小于终端设备进行SSB测量时产生的功耗，因此，相比采用SSB进行时频跟踪，和无线资源测量而言，采用CSI-RS进行时频跟踪，和无线资源测量可以降低终端设备的功耗。
本申请实施例提供了一种通信方法，如图2所示，该方法包括：
S101、在属于同一个PO的PDCCH监测机会上，网络设备发送至少一个DCI。相应的，在PO的PDCCH监测机会上，终端设备接收DCI。该终端设备接收的DCI为网络设备发送的至少一个DCI中的DCI。
至少一个DCI中的全部或部分包括第一指示信息，每个第一指示信息用于指示至少一个CSI-RS可用，至少一个CSI-RS与至少一个SSB对应，至少一个SSB与用于发送第一指示信息所在的DCI的PDCCH监测机会对应。
其中，一个PDCCH监测机会上用于发送一个PDCCH，一个PDCCH中包括一个DCI。
一种实现方式中，该PO包括L个PDCCH监测机会。该L个PDCCH监测机会与M个SSB具有对应关系。例如，一个SSB可以对应一个或者多个PDCCH监测机会，一个PDCCH监测机会也可以对应一个或者多个SSB。该M个SSB为网络设备实际发 送的SSB。其中，L和M均为正整数。PDCCH监测机会与SSB对应也可以理解为PDCCH监测机会上发送的DCI与SSB对应。
在每个PDCCH监测机会上，网络设备发送对应的DCI。这样，网络设备在PDDCH监测机会上发送的DCI与SSB之间也存在对应关系。同样的，一个SSB可以对应一个或者多个DCI，一个DCI也可以对应一个或者多个SSB。
当一个SSB对应多个DCI时，该多个DCI均包括第一指示信息，或者该多个DCI中的部分DCI包括第一指示信息。
当一个DCI对应多个SSB时，该DCI中包括的第一指示信息，用于指示该多个SSB中的一个或多个SSB对应的CSI-RS是否可用。其中，一个CSI-RS可用是指网络设备发送的CSI-RS可以被终端设备接收和测量。
以SSB与PDCCH监测机会一一对应为例，若网络设备发送了4个SSB，分别为SSB#0，SSB#1，SSB#2，SSB#3，则一个PO内包括4个PDCCH监测机会。网络设备分别在每个监测机会上发送一个DCI。例如，在SSB#0对应的PDCCH监测机会上，网络设备发送DCI-1，在SSB#1对应的PDCCH监测机会上，网络设备发送DCI-2，在SSB#2对应的PDCCH监测机会上，网络设备发送DCI-3，在SSB#3对应的PDCCH监测机会上，网络设备发送DCI-4。
该情况下，DCI-1包括的第一指示信息用于指示与SSB#0对应的CSI-RS是否可用，DCI-2包括的第一指示信息用于指示与SSB#1对应的CSI-RS是否可用，DCI-3包括的第一指示信息用于指示与SSB#2对应的CSI-RS是否可用，DCI-4包括的第一指示信息用于指示与SSB#3对应的CSI-RS是否可用。
这样，网络设备只需在每个DCI中指示与该DCI存在对应关系的SSB对应的CSI-RS是否可用，而无需在每个DCI中指示所有的CSI-RS是否可用。从而节省了DCI的比特位开销。
S102、网络设备发送被第一指示信息指示为可用的CSI-RS。相应的，终端设备接收该CSI-RS。
一种可能的实现方式中，网络设备发送的被第一指示信息指示为可用的CSI-RS，可以是网络设备为其他正处于连接态的终端设备配置的CSI-RS。网络设备通过第一指示信息指示处于空闲态或非激活态的终端设备接收并测量该CSI-RS。这样，网络设备无需为处于空闲态或非激活态的终端设备重新配置CSI-RS。从而节省了网络设备的网络资源。
需要说明的是，在终端设备接收该被第一指示信息指示为可用的CSI-RS之后，终端设备测量该CSI-RS，以达到时频跟踪，无线资源测量的目的。
上述技术方案中，网络设备通过与SSB对应的PDCCH监控机会上发送的DCI，指示与该SSB对应的可用的CSI-RS，终端设备根据该DCI确定并接收可用的CSI-RS，进而测量该CSI-RS，以达到时频跟踪，无线资源测量的目的。由于终端设备进行CSI-RS测量时产生的功耗小于终端设备进行SSB测量时产生的功耗，因此，本申请提供的通信方法可以降低终端设备的功耗。
基于图2所示的技术方案，可选的，若网络设备发送的CSI-RS有N个(N为正整数)，为了使得终端设备获取该N个CSI-RS的信息，如图3所示，在S101之前， 该方法还包括：
S103、网络设备通过SIB或高层信令为终端设备配置N个CSI-RS。相应的，终端设备接收网络设备用于配置N个CSI-RS的SIB或高层信令。
其中，N个CSI-RS包括被第一指示信息指示为可用的CSI-RS。
基于图2所示的技术方案，可选的，为了使得终端设备获取N个CSI-RS和M个SSB之间的对应关系，如图3所示，在S101之前，该方法还包括：
S104、网络设备确定N个CSI-RS与M个SSB之间的对应关系。
其中，M个SSB为网络设备实际发送的SSB。上述实施例中的任意一个PDCCH监控机会对应的SSB均属于该M个SSB。
其中，一个CSI-RS对应一个或多个SSB，一个SSB对应一个或者多个CSI-RS。
S105、网络设备通过SIB或高层信令为终端设备配置N个CSI-RS与M个SSB之间的对应关系。相应的，终端设备接收网络设备用于配置N个CSI-RS与M个SSB之间的对应关系的SIB或高层信令。
可选的，在S105中，N个CSI-RS与M个SSB之间的对应可以有以下两种情况：情况1：分组对应，情况2：空间位置关系对应。以下对情况1和情况2分别进行介绍。
情况1：分组对应
在情况1下，网络设备确定N个CSI-RS与M个SSB之间的对应关系的过程包括以下步骤Ⅰ至步骤Ⅲ:
Ⅰ、网络设备确定SSB的数量M，以及CSI-RS的数量N。
例如，网络设备确定实际发送的SSB的数量为4，则确定SSB的数量M＝4。网络设备确定实际配置了8个CSI-RS，则确定CSI-RS的数量N＝8。
Ⅱ、网络设备将N个CSI-RS，划分为M个CSI-RS组。
其中，该M个CSI-RS组与M个SSB一一对应。每个CSI-RS组中的CSI-RS的数量可以相同也可以不相同，本申请对此不做限定。
需要说明的是，对于上述N个CSI-RS中的一个CSI-RS，该CSI-RS可以分别属于一个或多个CSI-RS组。在该CSI-RS属于一个CSI-RS组的情况下，该CSI-RS对应一个SSB。在该CSI-RS属于多个CSI-RS组的情况下，该CSI-RS对应该多个SSB。
对于上述M个SSB中的任一个SSB，该SSB对应的CSI-RS组中可以包括一个或多个CSI-RS。在该SSB对应的CSI-RS组中包括一个CSI-RS的情况下，该SSB对应一个CSI-RS。在该SSB对应的CSI-RS组中包括多个CSI-RS的情况下，该SSB对应多个CSI-RS。
Ⅲ、网络设备确定M个SSB中，每个SSB对应的CSI-RS组。
需要指出的是，N个CSI-RS与M个SSB之间的对应关系与N个CSI-RS在用于配置N个CSI-RS的SIB或高层信令中的顺序相关；或者，N个CSI-RS与M个SSB之间的对应关系与N个CSI-RS的标识相关。
因此，在网络设备将N个CSI-RS，划分为M个CSI-RS组的过程中，网络设备可以根据N个CSI-RS在用于配置N个CSI-RS的SIB或高层信令中的顺序对该N个CSI-RS进行分组(记为分组方式a)；或者，网络设备可以根据N个CSI-RS的标识对该N个CSI-RS进行分组(记为分组方式b)。以下对这两种分组方式分别进行说明。
分组方式a、网络设备根据CSI-RS的顺序对CSI-RS进行分组。
其中，CSI-RS的顺序可以包括：CSI-RS在信令中占用的比特位的顺序，CSI-RS在时域上的顺序，CSI-RS在频域上的顺序，或者网络设备配置CSI-RS的顺序中的任一个，本申请对此不做限定。
举例来说，网络设备实际配置了8个CSI-RS。该8个CSI-RS分别为：CSI-RS1，CSI-RS2，CSI-RS3，CSI-RS4，CSI-RS5，CSI-RS6，CSI-RS7，CSI-RS8。网络设备根据该8个CSI-RS在信令中占用的比特位的顺序，对该8个CSI-RS进行排序。在排序之后，网络设备按照从前至后的顺序对该8个CSI-RS进行两两分组。具体的，网络设备可以确定CSI-RS1和CSI-RS2组成CSI-RS组1，CSI-RS3和CSI-RS4组成CSI-RS组2，CSI-RS5和CSI-RS6组成CSI-RS组3，CSI-RS7和CSI-RS8组成CSI-RS组4。
分组方式b、网络设备根据CSI-RS的标识对CSI-RS进行分组。
其中，CSI-RS的标识可以是网络设备配置CSI-RS时，为各个CSI-RS配置的。
举例来说，网络设备实际配置了8个CSI-RS。该8个CSI-RS的标识分别为：标识1，标识2，标识3，标识4，标识5，标识6，标识7，标识8。网络设备根据该8个标识，对8个CSI-RS进行两两分组。例如，网络设备可以确定标识1和标识2对应的CSI-RS组成CSI-RS组1，标识3和标识4对应的CSI-RS组成CSI-RS组2，标识5和标识6对应的CSI-RS组成CSI-RS组3，标识7和标识8对应的CSI-RS组成CSI-RS组4。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中网络设备还可以采用其他方式对CSI-RS进行分组，本申请对此不做限定。
需要指出的是，在网络设备对CSI-RS进行分组时，该CSI-RS可以是网络设备配置的CSI-RS，也可以是网络设备配置的CSI-RS集合。当CSI-RS为网络设备配置的CSI-RS集合时，网络设备对CSI-RS集合进行分组的方法与对CSI-RS进行分组的方法是类似的，不再赘述。
在采用上述分组方式a或分组方式b确定CSI-RS组之后，网络设备可以确定每个CSI-RS组对应的SSB。例如，网络设备实际发送了4个SSB，分别为SSB#0，SSB#1，SSB#2，SSB#3。则网络设备可以确定CSI-RS组1对应SSB#0，CSI-RS组2对应SSB#1，CSI-RS组3对应SSB#2，CSI-RS组4对应SSB#3。
情况2：空间位置关系对应
在本申请实施例中，至少一个CSI-RS与至少一个SSB具有空间位置关系。例如，至少一个CSI-RS与至少一个SSB具有QCL-TypeD关系；或者，至少一个CSI-RS与至少一个SSB的波束方向相同或相近。
对于上述具有QCL-TypeD关系的CSI-RS与SSB。由于“QCL-TypeD”可以描述具有QCL关系的两个参考信号的波束类似，部分信道参数相似或相同。因此，网络设备可以认为与SSB具有QCL-TypeD关系CSI-RS与该SSB对应。
对于上述波束方向相同或相近的SSB与CSI-RS，在网络设备发送SSB时，网络设备首先确定每个SSB的波束方向，网络设备根据各个SSB的波束方向发送SSB，从而使得网络设备发送的SSB可以覆盖尽可能大的区域。同样的，网络设备发送CSI-RS时，网络设备首先确定每个CSI-RS的波束方向。网络设备根据各个CSI-RS的波束方 向发送各个CSI-RS。
这样，网络设备可以根据SSB的波束方向，以及CSI-RS的波束方向，确定SSB与CSI-RS的对应关系。例如，网络设备确定与SSB波束方向相同，或者波束方向相似度大于预设值的CSI-RS作为与该SSB对应的CSI-RS。
一种可能的实现方式中，终端设备可以通过下述步骤1至步骤3，确定PDCCH监测机会与SSB之间的对应关系。以下对步骤1至步骤3进行具体说明。
1、网络设备和终端设备可以根据L个PDCCH监测机会中各个PDCCH监测机会在PO中对应的时域位置，确定各个PDCCH监测机会的编号。
PO内的各个PDCCH监测机会分别对应不同的时域位置，网络设备和终端设备可以根据PDCCH监测机会在PO中对应的时域位置的先后顺序，确定各个PDCCH监测机会的编号。
例如，网络设备和终端设备可以确定对应于PO中的第一个时域位置的PDCCH监测机会的编号为编号1，对应于PO中的第二个时域位置的PDCCH监测机会的编号为编号2，对应PO中的第三个时域位置的PDCCH监测机会的编号为编号3。
需要指出的是，PDCCH监测机会的编号仅是为了表示对不同的PDCCH监测机会进行区分。网络设备和终端设备也可以以其他的形式对不同的PDCCH监测机会进行区分。本申请对此不做限定。
2、网络设备和终端设备确定SSB的编号。
一种实现方式中，网络设备和终端设备确定SSB的编号为SSB的索引(index)。
示例性的，网络设备和终端设备确定的SSB的编号分别为：编号0，编号1，编号2。
3、网络设备和终端设备根据PDCCH监测机会的编号，与SSB的编号，确定SSB与PDCCH监测机会的对应关系。
一种示例，网络设备和终端设备将PDCCH监测机会的编号，与SSB的编号进行顺序对应，确定SSB与PDCCH监测机会的对应关系。
例如，编号1的PDCCH监测机会对应SSB#0(即编号0的SSB)，编号2的PDCCH监测机会对应SSB#1(即编号1的SSB)，编号3的PDCCH监测机会对应SSB#2(即编号2的SSB)。
在本申请实施例中，PDCCH监测机会与SSB之间的对应关系可以是：PDCCH监测机会与SSB之间一一对应；也可以是一个PDCCH监测机会对应多个SSB，一个SSB对应多个PDCCH监测机会。PDCCH监测机会与SSB之间的对应关系与网络设备为paging搜索空间配置的搜索空间标识，以及SSB与控制资源集合(control resource set，CORESET)0的映射关系的模式有关，以下分情况进行说明。
情况1、网络设备为paging搜索空间配置的搜索空间标识不为0。
在网络设备为paging搜索空间配置的搜索空间标识不为0的情况下，一个PO内，网络设备配置L个PDCCH，该L个PDCCH与M个SSB具有对应关系。M等于L。
该L个PDCCH监测机会中的第K个PDCCH监测机会，对应M个SSB中的第K个SSB。该M个SSB与该L个PDCCH监测机会一一对应。
示例性的，如图4所示，网络设备实际发送了三个SSB，分别为SSB#0，SSB#1， SSB#2。在该情况下，一个PO内包括3个PDCCH监测机会，分别记为PDCCH-1，PDCCH-2，以及PDCCH-3。也就是说，一个PO是3个PDCCH监测机会的集合。
其中，PDCCH-1对应于SSB#0，PDCCH-2对应于SSB#1，PDCCH-3对应于SSB#2。
情况2、网络设备为paging搜索空间配置的搜索空间标识为0，SSB与CORESET0的映射关系的模式为第一模式(也可以称为模式1)。
在网络设备为paging搜索空间配置的搜索空间标识为0，SSB与CORESET0的映射关系的模式为第一模式的情况下，一个SSB对应一个或多个paging搜索空间。当一个SSB对应多个paging搜索空间时，网络设备可能在该多个paging搜索空间中的每个paging搜索空间中配置PDCCH监测机会，网络设备在该多个paging搜索空间中配置的PDCCH监测机会可能是相同的也可能是不同的。此时，一个SSB可以对应一个或者多个PDCCH监测机会。
同样的，多个不同的SSB对应的paging搜索空间可能是重叠的(也即多个不同的SSB对应同一个paging搜索空间)。此时，该同一个paging搜索空间中的PDCCH监测机会对应该多个SSB。
因此，在paging搜索空间标识为0，SSB与CORESET0的映射关系的模式为第一模式的情况下，一个SSB可以对应一个或多个PDCCH监测机会，一个PDCCH监测机会可以对应一个或者多个SSB。SSB与PDCCH监测机会的对应关系，需要根据各个SSB对应的paging搜索空间的数量，网络设备在各个paging搜索空间中配置的PDCCH监测机会，以及paging搜索空间的重叠关系确定。
举例来说，在情况2中，网络设备实际发送了3个SSB，分别为SSB#0，SSB#1，SSB#2，每个SSB对应2个paging搜索空间。其中，SSB#0对应paging搜索空间1和paging搜索空间2；SSB#1对应paging搜索空间2和paging搜索空间3。SSB#2对应paging搜索空间3和paging搜索空间4。网络设备在paging搜索空间1中配置的PDCCH监测机会为PDCCH-1，网络设备在paging搜索空间2中配置的PDCCH监测机会也为PDCCH-1，网络设备在paging搜索空间3中配置的PDCCH监测机会为PDCCH-2，网络设备在paging搜索空间4中配置的PDCCH监测机会为PDCCH-3。
此时，网络设备确定SSB#0对应的PDCCH监测机会为PDCCH-1(即网络设备在paging搜索空间1和paging搜索空间2中配置的PDCCH监测机会)，网络设备确定SSB#1对应的PDCCH监测机会为PDCCH-1和PDCCH-2(即网络设备在paging搜索空间2和paging搜索空间3中配置的PDCCH监测机会)，SSB#2对应的PDCCH监测机会为PDCCH-2和PDCCH-3(即网络设备在paging搜索空间3和paging搜索空间4中配置的PDCCH监测机会)。
相应的，网络设备确定PDCCH-1对应的SSB为：SSB#0，SSB#1。网络设备确定PDCCH-2对应的SSB为：SSB#1，SSB#2。网络设备确定PDCCH-3对应的SSB为：SSB#2。
相应的，PDCCH-1中的第一指示信息用于指示与SSB#0，SSB#1对应的CSI-RS是否可用。PDCCH-2中的第一指示信息用于指示与SSB#1，SSB#2对应的CSI-RS是否可用。PDCCH-3中的第一指示信息用于指示与SSB#2对应的CSI-RS是否可用。
情况3、网络设备为paging搜索空间配置的搜索空间标识为0，SSB与CORESET0 的映射关系的模式不为第一模式。
在这种情况下，网络设备在一个PO内确定的SSB与PDCCH监测机会之间的对应关系与情况1中相同，此处不再赘述。
基于上述技术方案，在不同情况下，网络设备和终端设备均可以确定出PDCCH监测机会与SSB之间的对应关系，提高了本申请实施例的适用性。
可选的，在本申请实施例中，网络设备生成的DCI中除包括第一指示信息之外，还包括：第二指示信息，第三指示信息，第四指示信息中的至少一个。
其中，一个DCI中的第二指示信息用于指示接收该DCI调度的PDSCH的终端组。
一个DCI中的第三指示信息用于指示是否存在第一指示信息。
一个DCI中的第四指示信息用于指示是否存在第二指示信息。
需要说明的是，由于网络设备不能感知到处于空闲态或者非激活态的终端设备。因此网络设备会以广播的形式发送paging消息。一个PO内的所有终端设备都需要接收PDCCH中DCI，并获取DCI调度的PDSCH。网络设备从PDSCH中获取paging消息。paging消息中的pagingrecordList用于指示接收该paging消息的终端设备。针对该pagingrecordList中的标识指示的终端设备之外的终端设备，接收该PDSCH中的paging消息是不必要的，会导致终端设备的不必要的功耗。
因此，网络设备可以对一个PO内的终端设备进行分组，并在一个PO中的DCI中增加第二指示信息，采用第二指示信息指示接收该DCI调度的PDSCH的终端组，其他终端组的终端设备无需接收该PDSCH。从而可以降低其他终端组的终端设备的功耗。
网络设备可以通过DCI中保留的比特位承载这些指示信息。在DCI承载的指示信息不同的情况下，DCI承载指示信息的比特位不同，以下分别进行说明。
Ⅰ、DCI仅承载第一指示信息。
当DCI仅承载第一指示信息时，该第一指示信息可以占用DCI中的一个或多个比特位。该一个或多个比特位可以是DCI中保留的比特位中全部比特位或者部分比特位。
在一种可能的实现方式中，该一个或多个比特位可以是固定的比特位。例如，在DCI中包括6个保留的比特位时，该一个或多个比特位可以为该6个保留的比特位中的前3个比特位，另外3个比特位仍然为保留比特位。
在另一种可能的实现方式中，该一个或多个比特位也可以是网络设备根据第一指示信息指示的CSI-RS的数量的多少确定的比特位。例如，在DCI中包括6个保留的比特位时，网络设备确定第一指示信息指示了2个CSI-RS，则网络设备确定第一指示信息占用该6个保留的比特位中的前2个比特位，另外4个比特位仍然为保留比特位。网络设备确定第一指示信息指示了4个CSI-RS，则网络设备确定第一指示信息占用该6个保留的比特位中的前4个比特位，另外2个比特位仍然为保留比特位。当第一指示信息指示的CSI-RS的数量大于等于6个时，网络设备确定第一指示信息占用该全部6个保留的比特位。
Ⅱ、DCI承载第一指示信息和第三指示信息。
在这种情况下，第三指示信息指示存在第一指示信息。
其中，第一指示信息在该DCI中占用一个或多个比特位，第三指示信息在该DCI 中占用一个或多个比特位。第一指示信息和第三指示信息分别占用不同的比特位。
需要指出的是，上述第一指示信息和第三指示信息占用的比特位可以是DCI中的固定比特位。例如，在DCI中包括6个保留的比特位时，网络设备确定第三指示信息占用该6个保留的比特位中的第1个比特位，第一指示信息占用该6个比特位中的第2个至第4个比特位。
上述第一指示信息占用的比特位也可以是网络设备根据第一指示信息指示的CSI-RS的数量的多少确定的比特位。具体可参见上述第Ⅰ种情况中的第一指示信息占用的比特位进行理解，不再赘述。
Ⅲ、DCI仅承载第三指示信息。
在这种情况下，第三指示信息指示不存在第一指示信息。
该情况下，第三指示信息可以占用DCI中的一个或多个比特位。该一个或多个比特位可以是DCI中保留的比特位中的全部比特位或者部分比特位。
需要说明的是，在这种情况下，网络设备可以不生成第一指示信息，DCI也就无需承载第一指示信息。DCI仅承载第三指示信息，用于通知终端设备不存在第一指示信息。此时终端设备可以直接采用现有技术中的测量SSB的方法，进行时频跟踪，无线资源测量的目的等。
Ⅳ、DCI仅承载第二指示信息。
也就是说，网络设备仅通过该DCI指示接收该DCI所属的PDCCH调度的PDSCH的终端组。
当DCI仅承载第二指示信息时，该第二指示信息可以占用DCI中的一个或多个比特位。该一个或多个比特位可以是DCI中保留的比特位中的全部比特位或者部分比特位。
需要说明的是，在DCI仅承载第二指示信息的情况下，第二指示信息占用的一个或多个比特位，与DCI仅承载第一指示信息的情况下，第一指示信息占用的一个或多个比特位类似。第二指示信息占用的一个或多个比特位在DCI中的对应的实际的比特位，可以参照前述第Ⅰ种情况中的第一指示信息占用的比特位的描述，此处不在赘述。
Ⅴ、DCI承载第二指示信息和第四指示信息。
在这种情况下，第四指示信息指示存在第二指示信息。
需要说明的是，DCI承载第二指示信息和第四指示信息的情况，与DCI承载第一指示信息和第三指示信息的情况类似。具体可以参照前述DCI承载第一指示信息和第三指示信息时的描述，此处不再赘述。
Ⅵ、DCI承载第四指示信息。
在这种情况下，第四指示信息指示不存在第二指示信息。
需要说明的是，DCI承载第四指示信息的情况，与DCI承载第三指示信息的情况类似。具体可以参照前述DCI承载第三指示信息时的描述，此处不再赘述。
Ⅶ、DCI承载第一指示信息和第二指示信息。
第一指示信息和第二指示信息分别占用DCI中的一个或多个比特位。
在一种可能的实现方式中，第一指示信息和第二指示信息占用的比特位可以是网络设备确定的DCI中的固定比特位。例如，在DCI中包括6个保留的比特位时，第一 指示信息占用该6个保留的比特位中的前3个比特位。第二指示信息占用该6个保留的比特位中的后3个比特位。
在另一种可能的实现方式中，第一指示信息和第二指示信息占用的比特位可以是网络设备根据第一指示消息和第三指示消息分别所需占用的比特位，为其在DCI中分配的比特位。例如，在DCI中包括6个保留的比特位时，若第一指示信息需要占用3个比特位，第二指示信息需要占用2个比特位时。网络设备确定第一指示信息占用该6个保留的比特位中的前3个比特位，第二指示信息占用该6个保留的比特位中的第4个比特位和第5个比特位。
Ⅷ、该DCI至少承载第三指示信息和第四指示信息。
此时，网络设备可以分别采用如下方式1和方式2，确定各个指示信息占用的比特位。
方式1、
各个指示信息占用固定的比特位。
例如，在第三指示信息指示存在第一指示信息，第四指示信息指示存在第二指示信息的情况下，DCI还承载第一指示信息和第二指示信息。在DCI中包括6个保留的比特位时，第三指示信息占用该6个保留比特位中的第一比特位，第四指示信息占用该6个保留比特位中的第二比特位，第一指示信息占用该6个保留比特位中的第三比特位和第四比特位。第二指示信息占用该6个保留比特位中的第五比特位和第六比特位。
方式2、
网络设备根据第三指示信息指示的第一指示信息是否存在，以及第四指示信息指示的第二指示信息是否存在，确定各个指示信息占用的比特位。下面分情况进行说明。
需要指出的是，在该方式2中，第三指示信息占用第一比特位，第四指示信息占用第二比特位。
情况1、第三指示信息指示存在第一指示信息，第四指示信息指示存在第二指示信息。
该情况下，DCI还承载第一指示信息和第二指示信息。第一指示信息占用第三比特位和第四比特位，第二指示信息占用第五比特位和第六比特位。
情况2、第三指示信息指示存在第一指示信息，第四指示信息指示不存在第二指示信息。
该情况下，DCI还承载第一指示信息。第一指示信息占用第三比特位、第四比特位、第五比特位和第六比特位。
情况3、在第三指示信息指示不存在第一指示信息，第四指示信息指示存在第二指示信息。
该情况下，DCI还承载第二指示信息。第二指示信息占用第三比特位、第四比特位、第五比特位和第六比特位。
情况4、第三指示信息指示不存在第一指示信息，第四指示信息指示不存在第二指示信息。
该情况下，DCI仅承载第三指示信息和第四指示信息。第三比特位、第四比特位、 第五比特位和第六比特位不被任何指示信息占用。
需要说明的是，上述第一比特位至第六比特位可以分别对应DCI中的6个保留的比特位中的第1个比特位至第6个比特位，第一比特位至第六比特位与DCI中的6个保留的比特位也可以具有其他的对应关系，本申请不作限制。
下面以DCI中包括6个保留的比特位为例，对上述情况1至情况4分别进行举例说明。
其中，网络设备将该6个保留的比特位中的第1个比特位分配给第三指示信息，第2个比特位分配给第四指示信息。
针对上述情况1、网络设备确定第一指示信息占用该6个保留的比特位中的第3个比特位以及第4个比特位，确定第二指示信息占用该6个保留的比特位中的第5个比特位以及第6个比特位。
针对上述情况2、网络设备确定第一指示信息占用该6个保留的比特位中的第3个比特位，第4个比特位，第5个比特位以及第6个比特位。
需要说明的是，针对上述情况2，第四指示信息指示不存在第二指示信息。在这种情况下，DCI中无需包括第二指示信息。此时，网络设备可以使第一指示信息占用该6个保留的比特位中剩余的4个比特位。
需要指出的是，第一指示信息占用该6个保留的比特位中剩余的4个比特位，并不意味这第一指示信息需要占用该剩余4个比特位中的全部比特位，网络设备可以根据第一指示信息所需占用的比特位，确定第一指示信息实际占用的比特位。例如，第一指示信息只需占用两个比特位，则网络设备可以使用该6个保留的比特位中的第3个比特位，以及第4个比特位承载该第一指示信息。网络设备将剩余的两个比特位继续作为保留的比特位，或者网络设备使用剩余的两个比特位承载其他信息。
针对上述情况3、网络设备确定第三指示信息占用该6个保留的比特位中的第3个比特位，第4个比特位，第5个比特位以及第6个比特位。
需要说明的是，针对上述情况3，第三指示信息指示不存在第一指示信息。在这种情况下，DCI中无需包括第一指示信息。此时，网络设备可以使第二指示信息占用该6个保留的比特位中剩余的4个比特位。
需要指出的是，第二指示信息占用该6个保留的比特位中剩余的4个比特位，并不意味着第二指示信息需要占用该剩余4个比特位中的全部比特位，网络设备可以根据第二指示信息所需占用的比特位，确定第二指示信息实际占用的比特位。例如，第二指示信息只需占用两个比特位，则网络设备可以使用该6个保留的比特位中的第3个比特位，以及第4个比特位承载该第二指示信息。网络设备将剩余的两个比特位继续作为保留的比特位，或者网络设备使用剩余的两个比特位承载其他信息。
针对上述情况4、网络设备确定该6个保留的比特位中的第3个比特位，第4个比特位，第5个比特位以及第6个比特位不被任何指示信息占用。
需要说明的是，针对上述情况4，第三指示信息指示不存在第一指示信息，第四指示信息指示不存在第二指示信息。在这种情况下，DCI中无需包括第一指示信息，以及第二指示信息。因此，网络设备确定该6个保留的比特位中的第3个比特位，第4个比特位，第5个比特位以及第6个比特位不被任何指示信息占用。网络设备可以 将剩余的4个比特位继续作为保留的比特位，或者，网络设备使用剩余的4个比特位承载其他信息。
需要说明的是，在上述实施例中，各个指示信息占用的比特位仅仅为举例，在实际实现时，各个指示信息也可以占用其他的比特位，具体占用哪些比特位本申请不作限制。
需要指出的是，网络设备在PDCCH监测机会上发送的DCI中还可以包括短消息指示(Short Message Indicator)。该短消息指示可以用于指示该DCI是否调度寻呼功能。在该短消息指示指示DCI不调度寻呼功能的情况下，终端无需进一步接收该DCI所属的PDCCH调度的PDSCH。因此，在短消息指示指示DCI不调度寻呼功能的情况下，该DCI中可以不包括第二指示信息和/或第四指示信息；或者该DCI中包括第二指示信息和/或第四指示信息，但终端不解析该DCI中包括的第二指示信息和/或第四指示信息。
本申请上述实施例中的各个方案在不矛盾的前提下，均可以进行结合。
上述主要从各个网元之间交互的角度对本申请实施例的方案进行了介绍。可以理解的是，各个网元，例如，网络设备和终端设备为了实现上述功能，其包含了执行各个功能相应的硬件结构和软件模块中的至少一个。本领域技术人员应该很容易意识到，结合本文中所公开的实施例描述的各示例的单元及算法步骤，本申请能够以硬件或硬件和计算机软件的结合形式来实现。某个功能究竟以硬件还是计算机软件驱动硬件的方式来执行，取决于技术方案的特定应用和设计约束条件。专业技术人员可以对每个特定的应用来使用不同方法来实现所描述的功能，但是这种实现不应认为超出本申请的范围。
